Great read . Too long to quote all This is just a small segment in his opening moments . (nobody in the compliant press did this . I found it on X
I attended my first Democratic convention at the age of six in 1960, and back then the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution of Civil Rights. The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars. We were the party of labor of the working class. The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment. Our party was the bulwark against big money, interests and corporate power. True to its name, it was the party of democracy. As you know, I left that party in October because it had departed so dramatically from the core values that I grew up with.
It had become the party of war, censorship, corruption, big pharma, big tech, big ag and big money. When abandoned democracy by canceling the primary to conceal the cognitive decline of the sitting president, I left the party to run as an independent,

on voter suppression and Kam dodging debate
At the voting booth, the DNC wage, continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself. Each time that our volunteers turned in those towering boxes of signatures needed to get on the ballot. The DNC dragged us into court state after state attempting to erase their work and to subvert the will of the voters who had signed those petitions. It deployed DNC aligned judges To (throw) me and other candidates off the ballot and to throw President Trump in jail, it ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent any serious challenge to President Biden. Then when a predictably bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden, the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor also without an election, they installed a candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped out in 2020 without winning a single delegate. My uncle and my father both relish debate.
They prided themselves on their capacity to go toe to toe with any opponent in the battle over ideas, they would be astonished to learn of a democratic party presidential nominee who like Vice President Harris, has not appeared in a single interview or an unscripted encounter with voters for 35 days. This is profoundly undemocratic.
Instead of showing us her substance and character, the DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based upon on nothing, no policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons in highly produced Chicago circus.
on the role of the Censorship Industrial Complex
What alarms me is the resort to censorship and media control and the weaponization of the federal agencies. When a US president colludes with or outright coerces media companies to censor political speech, it’s an attack on our most sacred right, a free expression, and that’s the very right upon which all of our other constitutional rights rest President Biden Mock, Vladimir Putin’s 88% landslide in the Russian elections, observing that Putin and his party controlled the Russian press and that Putin prevented serious opponents from appearing on the ballot. But in America, the DNC also prevented opponents from appearing on the ballot and our television networks exposed themselves as democratic party organs over the course of more than a year.
Representatives of those networks are in this room right now, and I’ll just take a moment to ask you to consider the many ways that your institutions have abdicated this really sacred responsibility, the duty of a free press to safeguard democracy and to challenge always the party in power. Instead of maintaining that posture of fear skepticism toward authority, your institutions have made themselves government mouthpieces and stenographers for the organs of power. You didn’t alone cause the devolution of American democracy, but you could have prevented it. The Democratic party censorship of social media was even more of a naked exercise of executive power.
on Ukraine
I’m not excusing Putin for invading Ukraine. He had other options, but the Russia, the war is Russia’s predictable response to the reckless NeoCon project of extending NATO twin Circle Russia, a hostile act.
He explains that time after time we walked away from negotiations that would've avoided the war. That is because our goal is to exhaust the Russian army to degrade its capacity to fight anywhere else in the world. These objectives, of course have nothing to do with what they were telling Americans about protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty. Ukraine is a victim in this war and it’s a victim of the West.
He spoke of the destruction of Ukraine and how it is destroying the west as well. ;including the US
He spoke of his negotiations with Trump before he endorsed him. There are many things they disagree about .This is the classic example of reaching across the aisle and finding common grounds that the Dems play lip service to.
The rest you can read . He goes into details on a number of different issues.
He is leaving his name on the ballot in deep blue and red states while withdrawing from battleground states. I am seriously considering casting my vote for him.
