Dr Jill Stein is running to be president of the United States of America and seriously running at that she’s no fringe candidate she’s imposing herself in the political system of the United States in a way that no Third Party candidate for a very long time has managed to do and we’re glad to welcome her on to the mother of all talk shows Dr Jill thank you for uh joining us uh kindly start by saying uh how you’re doing in the campaign so far we are rising up angry and strong and the American people are in Rebellion uh they’re facing crisis in virtually every dimension of their lives and that is reflected in incredible Grassroots energy coming into our campaign we are the only anti-genocide anti-war pro-worker campaign on track to be on the ballot across the country it to challenge Empire and oligarchy in this election there are other voices out there but they really don’t have a shot at being on the ballot in a substantial number of states for a substantial number of Voters and if you’re going to challenge Empire you really need to be on the ballot across the entire country we are fighting on an incredibly tilted playing field as you can imagine but we are going strong right now we’re finishing up a ballot fight in New York which is the Empire’s Last Stand where they have pulled out all the stops to uh shut down independent Grassroots challenges uh you know the major parties are grandfathered in basically RFK has Deep Pockets with his super pack and his Zionist supporters he has very Deep Pockets so he’s not a Grassroots candidate and he can buy his way on the ballot so that that’s where the fight is right now that we are the one Grassroots anti-war anti-genocide campaign if we get on the ballot in New York and it’s looking very likely we’re trying to get a margin of safety right now the Democrats have announced they’ve hired an army of lawyers in order to try to throw Grassroots campaigns like us off the ballot but if we uh pull this off and it looks like we will uh it’s going to be Off to the Races because the American people are in Rebellion right now they are not happy about either Joe Biden or Donald Trump and they are appalled by uh Joe Biden’s uh genocidal policies in Gaza Donald Trump will be no better he’s just not as uh closely seen uh committing that genocide right now but his comments you know clearly show he’s in the same place if not more he thinks uh Biden is not genocidal enough so the American people uh are fighting angry and I’ll just mention one thing we’re not a fringe challenge here as the one anti-war pro-worker campaign that will be on the ballot across the country it’s going to be a four-way race and three out of four are proar and pro genocide they could very well be splitting the pro-war vote among themselves and in the case of a four-way race it can be won with as little as 26% of the vote that is not an unachievable goal it is possible not only to have a profound influence in this election and to really um to really solidify for the long haul a political realignment that is pro-worker and anti-war uh we can really achieve that but we could also in fact win the White House in this race uh well uh these are uh sweet this is sweet music uh to the ears of this audience I have no doubt it is ironic is it not that the Democrats keep saying that democracy is on the ballot but they’re actually hiring lawyers uh to keep you off the ballot uh this kind of rigged democracy is what they really mean isn’t it it’s not democracy as the rest of us would understand it absolutely you know it’s not only uh hiring an army of lawyers which they announce shamelessly they don’t even have a clue that this is this is horrific as far as the American public is concerned the American public is clamoring for other choices outside of this box of war and Wall Street and the Democrats are so clueless that they proudly announce that their army of corporate lawyers is going to decide this race and prevent the American people from having the choices they want that’s outrageous but you know terms of rigging elections the Democrats were also Unapologetic about rigging the uh elections where Bernie Sanders was actually a contender and basically uh rigging their primaries which they claimed in court was their right to do uh as a as a political party and in terms of the emergency of democracy just look at what’s happening on the campuses across the country and out in the streets as well where the Democrats uh you know are leading the charge to basically violently shut down our rights of free speech and our right to protest for redress of grievances so we don’t have to wait for Donald Trump to see fascism erupting in this country we have it right here and now not to mention that the Hallmark of fascism is genocide and the Democrats have been leading the charge on that score as well yes I mean they are a uni party aren’t they I mean one side is uglier and more uh vulgar than the other uh there are more University degrees uh on the Democratic side no doubt but they essentially stand for exactly the same thing they do the same thing uh they are for the few and not the many uh they are for uh murdering large numbers of people overseas and filling the pockets of the military industrial complex as they do so uh so there’s really no point in choosing One Cheek over the other uh when these two cheeks are on the same ass uh yes exactly and you know the Democrats always talk about how third parties and candidates like myself you know we’re so powerful that we have spoiled their election well it’s really important to look at the most spoiled election ever for the Democrats which was 2010 when they lost 1,000 seats in state legislatures across the country they lost 64 seats in uh Congress 13 seats in the Senate and 13 governorships as well this was a wipe out and there were no third parties on the horizon in that race which was a midterm elections so you know the the the point here is that the Democrats have spoiled the election for themselves by systematically betraying in their base especially working people who’ve been thrown under the bus by Bill Clinton and NAFTA by the proposals for the transpacific partnership and especially by the Wall Street bailouts in uh 2008 after the crooks on Wall Street had crashed the economy and the American people were screaming don’t bail them out it took Congress and and Obama all of one week to bail out the crooks on Wall Street to the tune of trilli ions of dollars while throwing out millions of homeowners this has not gone lightly with the American people who then punished the Democrats especially in the uh 2010 election but this simply represents the dynamic that has been longstanding here uh certainly since uh the era of Bill Clinton where the uh working people have been systematically thrown under the bus by the Democrats the Republicans do this as well but the Democrats promise to do something about it and they don’t they break their promises so you know we have elections here in the US where people do not vote for the candidate they support they vote against the candidate they hate the most because they have been uh essentially uh propagandized and fear campaigned into thinking that uh they need to vote for the Lesser evil but the bottom line is good luck deciding which one is the Lesser evil in an era when when it’s Democrats leading the charge on uh genocide and the assault on uh free speech and our first amendment rights so the bottom line is forget the Lesser evil fight for the greater good like our lives depend on it because in fact they do very good slogan uh the the Lesser evil is very difficult to discern in this contest uh as indeed it is in the British election which began uh just an hour or so ago uh and it’s that cycle that we have to break isn’t it because even if you could decide which genuinely was the Lesser evil you’re guaranteeing the evil always wins it’s time to break that mold isn’t it it absolutely is and in fact we’re out of time you know and it’s really critical to seize the moment seiz this perfect storm for a political realignment because we are not making progress you know under the incrementalism of the uh neoliberal Democrats and the neoconservative uh Republicans as well we are not moving forward we are moving backwards by leaps and bones and while the Democrats may appear they may give lip service to a progressive agenda every plank of which by the way was launched by the greens beginning with healthc care as a human right in the 2000 election uh promoted by uh Ralph nater but the rest of the agenda was really uh launched by our campaign in 2012 the Democrats adopt it but they don’t actually do it and we are you know we are facing allout existential crises whether you’re looking at the economy which is close to collapse which is booming for the top five to 10% the stock market is off the charts but for everyday working people it is a struggle uh over half of working people right now are substantially uh stressed economically spending over a third of their income in New York City it’s more like over 50% of their income just trying to keep a roof over their heads over 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck so economically this is not working and it continues to get worse it’s not like it’s getting better it continues to get worse you know the climate crisis is going off the charts we are you know we are in a state of war the Middle East War which is a Middle East War War the US and Israel are bombing some five countries this is on the verge of exploding it’s like a pre-World War I situation with nuclear weapons thrown into the mix we’re also you know the US is also fomenting potentially nuclear conflict uh in this proxy war uh in Ukraine a proxy war with Russia which was ginned up by NATO and the US and likewise the US is really egging uh a conflict on with China as well all of these can go nuclear and our absolutely clueless criminal misleaders uh both in the White House and in Congress seem to be absolutely clueless that these wars are impoverishing us here in the United States spending over half of our Congressional Budget on this endless war machine which is making the world more dangerous not safer whatsoever while it impoverishes us and endangers not just the rest of the world this also endangers uh people here in the United States because when Wars go nuclear they are effectively everywhere one single nuclear armed submarine and the US has 14 of them one single nuclear armed submarine carries the equivalent of 5,000 Hiroshima bombs which is more than enough to put us into substantial nuclear winter which basically depresses uh agricultural production because of all the debris that gets kicked up into the upper atmosphere it doesn’t come down with the rain and the weather it’s up there for years or decades and we basically starve to death we go the way of the dinosaurs so you know we should be in the business of eliminating of banning nuclear weapons along with the rest of the world you know save for the uh the nuclear countries and our allies uh the majority of the world’s Nations now have banned uh nuclear weapons and we need to step up to the plate there there are solutions to all of these crises you will not see them put on the table by the candidates of uh Wall Street and the war machine that’s why we’re in this race and that’s why we are fighting to be on the ballot in every state and I just mentioned for
