揭露民主党和媒体黑幕，披露现实问题—— 小肯尼迪“正式背书特朗普” 演讲全文节选
上周五，小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪在凤凰城的新闻发布会上宣布，他将暂停他的独立总统竞选，并表示将支持特朗普。这一决定源于他对选举前景的失望，认为在面临媒体控制和系统审查的情况下，自己不再相信有实际的胜利道路。
以下是发言全文节选编译：
各位，非常抱歉让大家久等了。16个月前，也就是2023年4月，我开始了我的美国总统竞选旅程。最初，我以民主党人的身份启动这次竞选，这是我父亲和叔叔所在的政党，也是我在达到投票年龄之前就宣誓效忠的政党。1960年，我6岁时参加了我的第一次民主党大会，那时民主党是《民权宪法》的捍卫者。民主党反对独裁主义、审查制度、殖民主义、帝国主义和非正义战争。我们是劳动阶级的政党，是政府透明和环境保护的倡导者。我们的政党是抵制大金钱、利益集团和企业权力的堡垒。正如它的名字所示，它代表民主。
然而，我在去年10月离开了这个政党，因为它已经背离了我成长过程中的核心价值观。现在，它变成了一个支持战争、审查、腐败和大型企业的政党。民主党通过取消初选只是为了掩盖现任总统的认知衰退，我抛弃了民主党，决定以独立候选人身份参选。美国政界和新闻界的主流对我的决定进行了嘲笑，认为以独立候选人身份参选几乎是不可能的，因为每个州都有复杂且难以逾越的规则。为了收集签名，我需要超过一百万个签名，这在历史上没有任何总统候选人做到过。接着，我需要一个律师团队和数百万美元来应对来自各方的法律挑战。反对者认为我们正在攀登一座不可能的“玻璃山”。
我想告诉大家，我们会证明他们错了。我们之所以能取得进展，是因为我们避开了主流媒体的关注，激发了一场大规模的独立政治运动。超过十万名志愿者参与其中，希望能改变我们国家的现状。许多人每天工作十小时，有时在恶劣的天气条件下，牺牲自己的个人生活和睡眠。月复一月，志愿者们在教堂和农贸市场设立展台，在犹他州和新罕布什尔州挨家挨户走访，在暴风雪中收集签名，说服每个支持者在严寒中停下来，脱下手套，清晰地签名。我们还遇到了一位在117华氏度的高温下收集签名、成功减重的志愿者。为了资助这项工作，许多年轻人放弃了他们的午餐，老年人也放弃了一部分社会保障金。
我们来自50个州的组织收集了数百万，甚至更多的签名。这在总统竞选和美国政治史上从未有过如此壮举。因此，我要感谢所有敬业的志愿者，并向协调这一巨大后勤任务的竞选工作人员致以祝贺。你们的成就曾被认为是不可能的。你们帮助我攀登上那座玻璃山，创造了奇迹，实现了所有人认为无法实现的目标。我对你们深表感激，这份感激不仅因为你们为我的竞选所做的一切，还因为你们所付出的牺牲。你们热爱我们的国家，向所有人展示了民主在这里仍然是可能的。它在媒体中继续存在，在充满理想主义的人类能量中存在，这些能量在被忽视的幕后以及官员和机构的腐败中蓬勃发展。今天，我在这里告诉你们，我绝不会让你们的努力白费。
我在这里告诉你们，我将利用你们的巨大成就继续推进我们共同的理想——和平、繁荣、自由和健康。我相信，在一个诚实的体制下，我有可能赢得选举。我的父亲和叔叔们在公开辩论、公平初选、真正独立的媒体、不受政府宣传和审查的环境中茁壮成长。在这些条件下，一切都会不同。尽管民意调查显示，我在支持率和正面交锋中击败了其他候选人，但很遗憾地说，尽管基层民主可能仍然存在，但在我们的政治机构、媒体和政府中，民主已不再是口号。最令人失望的是，民主党在声称拯救民主的同时，实际上却在破坏民主，因为他们对候选人能否在公平选举中获胜缺乏信心。
在投票站，民主党全国委员会持续不断地对特朗普总统和我进行法律战。每次我们的志愿者将需要签名才能进入选票的箱子交给相关机构时，民主党全国委员会就会将我们拖进一个又一个州的法庭，试图抹去我们辛苦工作的成果，颠覆那些签署请愿书选民的意愿。他们派出与民主党全国委员会结盟的法官，试图将我和其他候选人排除在选票之外，同时还试图将特朗普总统关进监狱。民主党全国委员会还进行了虚假的初选，并操控初选过程，以防止对拜登总统的任何严肃挑战。
当一场可预见的拙劣辩论引发了针对拜登总统的宫廷政变时，同样的民主党全国委员会暗中任命了一位不受选民欢迎的候选人，没有经过真正的选举过程。这位候选人甚至在2020年没有赢得任何代表票就退出了。我的叔叔和父亲都热衷于辩论，他们为自己能在思想斗争中与任何对手针锋相对的能力感到自豪。然而，他们一定会对现在的情况感到惊讶——像哈里斯副总统这样的民主党总统候选人，已经35天没有接受过一次采访，也没有与选民进行一次未经安排的会面。这种情况极其不民主。当人们无法知道自己在选择谁时，他们如何做出选择？世界其他国家会如何看待这种情况？
我的父亲和叔叔一直关心美国在国际上的形象，因为我们的国家是民主的模板、民主进程的榜样和自由世界的领导者。民主党全国委员会及其媒体机构没有展示哈里斯副总统的真正本质和性格，而是通过毫无根据的手段，没有政策、没有采访、没有辩论，只有精心制作的烟雾弹和气球，为她制造了一股人气热潮，这与民主的基本原则相悖。
在芝加哥，仅第一天，民主党发言人就 147 次提到唐纳德·特朗普。当你可以仅仅凭讨厌特朗普来进行竞选时，谁还需要政策呢？相比之下，在共和党全国代表大会上，拜登总统在四天内只被提及了两次。我每天都接受采访。你们中的许多人都采访过我。我常常接受采访，任何提出要求的人都可以采访我。特朗普总统作为真正获得提名并赢得大选的候选人，也每天接受采访。那么，民主党如何选出一个在整个选举周期中从未接受过采访或辩论的候选人呢？我们知道答案。他们通过将政府机构武器化来做到这一点。他们通过放弃民主来做到这一点。他们通过起诉反对派和剥夺美国选民的选举权来做到这一点。
最让我震惊的不是民主党如何处理其内部事务或推选其候选人的方式。令我感到震惊的是，美国政府如何诉诸审查制度和媒体控制，并将联邦机构武器化。当美国总统勾结或直接强迫媒体公司审查政治言论时，这是对我们最神圣的权利——言论自由的攻击，而这正是我们所有其他宪法权利的基础。拜登总统曾嘲笑普京在俄罗斯大选中以 88% 的压倒性优势获胜，指出普京和他的政党控制了俄罗斯媒体，并阻止了严重的反对者出现在选票上。但在美国，民主党全国委员会也阻止了反对者出现在选票上，我们的电视网络暴露了自己是民主党的工具。在我长达一年多的竞选活动中，民意调查数字有时超过 20%，民主党全国委员会联合主流媒体网络几乎完全禁止了对我的采访。与之相比，1992 年，罗斯·佩罗在主流媒体上接受了 34 次采访。
相比之下，在我宣布参选的 ABC、NBC、CBS、MSNBC 和 CNN 的 16 个月里，我总共只接受过两次现场采访。这些网络却不断发布大量不准确的、往往带有尖锐贬义和诽谤性的文章，其中一些网络还与民主党全国委员会勾结，阻止我登上辩论舞台。这些网络媒体的代表现在就在这个房间里，我想请你们反思，你们的机构在许多方面放弃了维护自由媒体、促进民主和挑战执政党的真正神圣职责。你们的机构没有保持对权威的怀疑态度，而是变成了政府的喉舌和权力机关的速记员。你们并不是导致美国民主衰落的唯一原因，但你们本可以阻止这一过程。民主党对社交媒体的审查更是赤裸裸的行政权力行使。
本周，联邦法官特里·多蒂（Terry Doty）支持了我对拜登总统的禁令，称白宫的审查计划是美国历史上最严重的违反第一修正案的行为。多蒂之前做出的长达 155 页的决定中提到，拜登总统和他的白宫在宣誓维护宪法仅 37 小时后，就启动了一个门户网站，邀请了CIA、FBI、DHS、IRS等机构，审查社交媒体上的政治不和谐信息。即使在今天，试图将我的竞选视频发布到 Facebook 或 YouTube 上的用户仍会看到这些内容违反了社区标准。就在多蒂法官本周作出裁决的两天后，Facebook 一份在线请愿书呼吁让我参加即将举行的辩论。然而媒体依然称这违反了社区标准，他们的社区标准。
主流媒体曾经是第一修正案和民主原则的守护者，但现在却参与了对民主的系统性攻击。此外，媒体以打击虚假信息为由为自己的审查制度辩护，但政府和压迫者不会审查谎言。他们不害怕谎言，他们害怕真相，而真相正是他们所审查的。我不想让这些听起来像是个人抱怨，因为这不是个人问题。这都是我们旅程的一部分，也是我参与的旅程，但我需要提出这些观察，因为我认为它们对于我们作为公民在民主中需要做的事情至关重要，以评估我们在这个国家的情况，我们的民主仍然是什么样子，以及对我们全球领导地位的假设以及我们的生活状况如何？我们真的还是这个国家民主的榜样吗？还是我们把它变成了一个笑话？
虽然主流媒体剥夺了我一个重要的平台，但它们无法紧逼我的思想，这些思想在年轻选民和独立选民中尤其盛行，多亏了自媒体。几个月前我向美国人民承诺，如果我成为一个搅局者，我将退出竞选。搅局者是我认为可以改变选举结果但不能获胜的人。面对这种无情的系统审查和媒体控制，我不再相信我有一个现实的选举胜利的可能性。因此，当我不能诚实地告诉他们我有一条通往白宫的真正道路时，我不能凭良心要求我的员工和志愿者继续长时间工作，或要求我的捐助者继续捐款。此外，我们的民意调查始终显示，通过留在战场州的选票上，我很可能会将选举交给与我在最生存问题、审查、战争和慢性病方面意见相左的民主党人。我想让大家知道，我并没有终止我的竞选活动。我只是暂停它，而不是结束它。
我的名字将保留在大多数州的选票上。如果你住在蓝州，你可以投票给我，这不会对特朗普总统或哈里斯副总统产生影响。同样，如果你住在红州，情况也是一样。我鼓励你们投票给我，如果你们中有足够多的人投票给我，而且两个主要政党的候选人都没有赢得270票，这种情况是有可能发生的。事实上，今天我们的民意调查显示，两位主要候选人以269票打平，我仍有可能在一场有条件的选举中入主白宫。但在大约10个战场州，我的存在可能会影响选举结果，我将会删除我的名字。我已经开始了这个过程，并敦促选民不要投票给我。我怀着胜利而不是失败的心情暂停我的竞选活动。我们不仅收集了100万个签名，完成了不可能完成的任务，而且永远改变了全国的政治对话，慢性病、言论自由、政府腐败和战争问题已经成为政治的中心议题。
我可以对过去一年半辛勤工作的所有人说一声感谢。感谢你们出色地完成了工作。伟大的事业最初驱使我参加这场竞选，这些也是促使我离开民主党并以独立候选人身份参选、现在支持特朗普总统的主要原因。这些原因包括言论自由、战争以及对我们孩子的战争。我已经描述了我一些个人经历以及与政府审查工业综合体的斗争。
目前，似乎没有一位候选人愿意通过谈判迅速结束战争，或应对慢性病流行，保护言论自由、宪法自由，清除政府中的企业影响，或反对新保守主义者无休止的军事冒险主义议程。但现在，两位候选人中的一位已经将这些问题视为自己的核心问题，甚至要求我加入他的政府。
我当然是在说唐纳德·特朗普。在特朗普总统险些被暗杀后不到两小时，有胆量的人就给我打来了电话。当时我在拉斯维加斯。Ali 是食品安全、土壤再生和结束慢性病流行的主要倡导者。他揭露了美国食品和药物管理局、美国国立卫生研究院、美国卫生和公众服务部和美国农业部中导致这一流行的腐败。从一开始，Ali 就为我的竞选活动提供了这些主题的建议，这些主题一直是我过去20年的主要关注点。那天，Ali 告诉我，他也一直在为特朗普总统提供建议，我很高兴。他告诉我，特朗普总统急于与我谈论慢性病和其他问题，并探讨合作途径。
他问我是否愿意接听总统的电话。几分钟后，特朗普总统给我打了电话，第二天我和他见了面。几周后，我再次与特朗普总统及其家人和亲密顾问在佛罗里达会面，进行了一系列长时间的讨论。我很惊讶地发现，在这些会议中，我们在许多关键问题上意见一致。他建议我们作为一个团结的政党联合起来。我们谈到了亚伯拉罕·林肯的竞争对手团队。这种安排将使我们能够在公开、私下和激烈地讨论分歧的问题，同时在我们意见一致的生存问题上共同努力。我对他第一届政府的许多政策进行了严厉的批评，且在某些问题和方法上我们仍然存在严重分歧，但在一些关键问题上我们是一致的，例如结束无休止的战争、结束儿童流行病、保卫边境、保护言论自由、解除监管机构对企业的控制、让美国情报机构停止宣传、审查和监视美国人，以及干涉我们的选举。
在与特朗普总统进行第一次讨论后，我曾试图与哈里斯副总统展开类似的讨论，但没有成功。哈里斯副总统拒绝与我见面，甚至拒绝与我交谈。暂停我的候选资格对我来说是一个艰难的决定，但我坚信这是结束战争、解决正在从内部侵蚀我们国家活力的慢性病流行病，以及最终保护言论自由的最佳希望。我感到有道义上的责任利用这个机会拯救数百万美国儿童。
最重要的是，如果你们中的一些人还没有意识到我们孩子的健康和慢性病状况的严重性，我敦促你们看看卡尔森博士最近对凯利·米恩斯博士和他的妹妹凯西·米恩斯博士的采访。凯西·米恩斯博士是斯坦福医学院班上的尖子毕业生。这个问题对我们所有人的影响远比任何文化战争问题和其他撕裂我们国家的问题更直接、更紧迫。
这是最重要的问题，因此它有可能让我们团结起来。让我来分享一下为什么我认为今天这个问题如此紧迫。我们在医疗保健方面的支出是世界上任何国家中最多的，几乎是欧洲的两倍，但我们的健康状况却是世界上最差的。我们的排名大约是第79位，落后于哥斯达黎加、尼加拉瓜、蒙古和其他国家。没有哪个国家像我们一样承受着疾病负担。在新冠疫情期间，我们的死亡人数是世界上最多的。我们的新冠死亡人数占世界总人口的16%，而我们的人口仅占世界总人口的4.2%。CDC表示，这是因为我们是地球上病情最严重的人。我们的慢性病发病率是世界上最高的。对于每一个死于新冠的美国人，有3.8种慢性病，使得他们的免疫系统崩溃，线粒体功能障碍，这种情况在其他国家几乎没有出现。
三分之二的美国成人和儿童患有慢性健康问题。50年前，这个数字还不到1%，而现在在美国，这一数字已经上升到了66%。现在，74%的美国人超重或肥胖，50%的儿童超重或肥胖。120年前，肥胖几乎是不存在的，若有人肥胖就会被送去马戏团。在日本，儿童肥胖率为3%，而美国儿童肥胖率为50%。一半的美国人患有糖尿病前期或二型糖尿病。我叔叔当总统的时候，我还是个孩子。青少年糖尿病实际上并不存在。一个典型的儿科医生在其整个职业生涯中只会接诊一例糖尿病病例。如今，走进他办公室的每三个孩子中就有一个是糖尿病患者或糖尿病前期患者，而导致糖尿病的线粒体疾病也会导致阿尔茨海默氏症，后者现在被归类为糖尿病，其对国家造成的损失比我们的军事预算还要大。
每年，我们目睹着以前从未见过的神经疾病以爆发式增长的趋势出现。注意力缺陷、多动障碍 (ADD/ADHD)、言语发育迟缓、语言发育迟缓、妥瑞氏综合症、嗜睡症、自闭症、阿斯伯格综合症等都在不断增加。2000年，自闭症的发病率为1/1500。而现在，根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据，全国儿童自闭症发病率已达到1/36，但这一问题却鲜少被讨论。在加州，每22个孩子中就有一个患有自闭症，而77%的孩子因残疾无法服役于美国军队，这显示了我们正面临的严重危机。我们的国家到底怎么了？为什么这些问题没有每天成为头条新闻？世界上没有其他国家经历这种情况。大约18%的美国孩子被诊断为自闭症，值得一提的是，诊断方法并未发生变化，筛查标准也没有变化。这种情况在我这一代70岁男性中几乎没有发生，但在我孩子这一代，发病率却达到了万分之一。
每34个人中就有1人，我再重复一遍，在加州是每22人中就有1人。为什么我们会让这种情况发生？为什么我们允许这种情况发生在我们的孩子身上？他们是我们国家最宝贵的财富。我们怎么能让这种情况发生在他们身上？现在，大约有18%的美国青少年患有脂肪肝，这相当于每五个人中就有一个。在我小时候，这种疾病仅影响晚期酗酒的老年人。癌症发病率正在飙升，年轻人和老年人的癌症发病率上升了79%。四分之一的美国女性正在服用抗抑郁药物，40%的青少年患有精神病，15%的高中生服用阿德拉，50万儿童服用SSRI类药物。
那么是什么导致了这种痛苦？让我列举两个罪魁祸首。首先，也是最糟糕的，就是超加工食品。大约70%的美国儿童的饮食是超加工的，这意味着工厂工业制造的食品，这些食物主要由加工糖、超加工谷物和种子油组成。实验室科学家（许多人曾为烟草行业工作）在20世纪70年代和80年代为大型食品公司研究化学物质，这些化学物质使食物更容易上瘾，而这些成分在一百年前并不存在。人类在生物学上并不适应食用它们。尽管欧洲现在禁止使用数百种此类化学物质，但在美国加工食品中却无处不在。第二个罪魁祸首是我们食物、药物以及环境中的有毒化学物质。杀虫剂、食品添加剂、药物和有毒物质渗透到我们身体的每一个细胞。这些对我们儿童细胞和激素的攻击是无情的，许多化学物质会增加体内雌激素水平，因为幼儿摄入了大量的激素干扰物。
美国的青春期开始年龄目前为10至13岁，比1900年的女孩早了六年。美国是全球青春期开始年龄最早的国家，这并不是因为我们的营养水平更高，而是因为不正常的原因。乳腺癌也与雌激素水平有关，现在每八名女性中就有一人患上乳腺癌。考虑到这种慢性疾病流行的严重人为原因，我们正在大规模毒害我们的儿童和成年人。尽管提到这种情况对经济造成的损害可能有些生硬，但它正在削弱国家的财政。
在我叔叔担任总统时，政府在慢性病上的支出为零，而今天，医疗支出的几乎全部都用于慢性病，且这些支出是军事预算的两倍，成为联邦预算中增长最快的项目。慢性病对经济的损失甚至达到4万亿美元，是军事预算的五倍。这对我们的经济以及我们期望的一切造成了20%的拖累，少数族裔社区遭受的损失也尤为严重。
那些担心DEI（多样性、公平性和包容性）或其他任何形式的偏见的人，这些问题与健康问题相比都相形见绌。我们正在毒害最贫穷的公民，系统地毒害国家的少数群体。食品工业的游说者确保了大部分食品券午餐计划，70%的食品券和70%至77%的学校午餐都是加工食品。这些食品中缺乏新鲜蔬菜和健康成分，只是继续毒害最贫困的市民，这也是他们承受的慢性病负担全球最高的原因之一。同样，食品行业的游说者确保了农业补贴主要用于加工食品行业的原料，而不是支持小农场或保护土壤。我们给予烟草、水果和蔬菜的补贴大约是八倍，这对我们想要一个健康的国家毫无意义。
然而，好消息是我们可以迅速改变这一切。美国有能力恢复健康。为此，我们需要做三件事：首先，根除卫生机构中的腐败；其次，改变医疗保健系统中的激励机制；第三，激励美国人恢复健康。80%的NIH（美国国立卫生研究院）拨款流向了有利益冲突的人群。这些人几乎都与加工食品公司有关系，他们制定了关于食品建议、食物金字塔的指导方针以及学校午餐计划的内容，这些都受到腐败和利益冲突的影响。
FDA（美国食品药品监督管理局）、USDA（美国农业部）和CDC（疾病控制与预防中心）都被大企业所控制。FDA的75%资金来自制药公司和行业高管，而非纳税人。我计划改变这种情况，确保这些机构配备不受行业资助的科学家和医生，保证消费者、医生和患者的决策基于公正的科学。制药行业通过让儿童和成年人长期服药来获利。例如，药物Ozempic每月费用高达1500美元，现推荐用于6岁以下儿童，治疗的是完全可以预防的肥胖症。如果74%的美国人都使用Ozempic，每年的费用将达到3万亿美元。这是由丹麦公司Novo Nordisk生产的药物，该公司几乎完全依赖Ozempic的销售收入。丹麦政府建议通过饮食和运动来治疗肥胖症，而不是使用这种药物。然而，现有的提案获得了副总统哈里斯和总统拜登的支持，允许这种情况发生。如果这笔费用继续增加，将使我们的国家面临破产的风险。我们可以用这笔钱为每个美国家庭购买有机食品，一日三餐，彻底消除糖尿病。
我们将把健康食品带回学校午餐，停止用农业补贴来补贴最差的食品，并从食品中去除有毒化学物质。我们将全面改革食品体系，为此，我们需要华盛顿的新领导人。不幸的是，民主党和共和党都与大型食品生产商、大型制药公司和大型农业公司勾结，这些公司是政治捐助的主要来源。副总统哈里斯已经明确表示无意解决这个问题。如果继续由民主党统治四年，将加速企业和新保守主义权力的巩固，我们的孩子将遭受更大的痛苦。
20年前，我开始关注慢性病问题，并非出于个人选择，而是被迫关注。这个问题本应是环保运动的核心。当时，我身处核心领导位置，但所有机构，包括非政府组织，都普遍忽视了这一问题，而这些机构本应保护我们的孩子免受毒素的侵害。慢性病成为了一个被忽视的孤儿问题，我目睹了一代又一代孩子病情日益严重。我有11个兄弟姐妹，自己也有7个孩子。我深知他们在课堂和朋友之间的经历，看着这些生病的孩子，看到他们受到的伤害。几乎所有的孩子都受到了影响，但当权者似乎无动于衷。
19年来，我每天早上都祈祷上帝能让我结束这场灾难。慢性病危机是我竞选总统的主要原因之一，以及结束审查制度和战争。这就是我做出暂停竞选并支持特朗普总统的痛苦决定的原因。这一决定对我来说非常艰难，因为它带来了对我的妻子、孩子和朋友的困扰，但我坚信这是我应该做的，这种信念让我在风雨中保持内心的平静。
如果我有机会解决慢性病危机并改革我们的粮食生产，我保证在两年内，我们将看到慢性病负担大幅减轻。我们将使美国人恢复健康。在四年内，美国将成为一个健康的国家。我们将变得更强大、更有韧性、更乐观、更快乐。我不会失败。最终，未来掌握在上帝、美国选民和特朗普总统的手中。
如果特朗普总统当选并信守承诺，慢性病的沉重负担将不复存在。这对我来说是一次精神之旅。我通过深切的祈祷和坚定的逻辑做出了决定。我问自己，我必须做出什么选择才能最大限度地拯救美国儿童和恢复国民健康？我觉得，如果我拒绝这个机会，我将无法面对自己，因为我知道我本可以拯救无数儿童的生命，扭转这个国家的慢性病流行。
我今年70岁了，可能还剩十年的时间来发挥作用。我无法想象副总统哈里斯会允许我或任何人解决这些可怕的问题。如果哈里斯成为总统，我将永远没有机会解决这些问题。特朗普总统告诉我，他希望这将成为他的政治遗产。我选择相信，这一次他会通过他的儿子、最大的捐助者、最亲密的朋友以及所有支持者来支持这一目标。加入特朗普竞选团队对我来说将是一个艰难的牺牲，但如果能有哪怕一丁点的机会拯救这些孩子，我的妻子和孩子也是值得的。
最终，唯一能拯救我们的国家和我们的孩子的事物是我们选择爱我们的孩子多于我们彼此的仇恨。这就是我发起团结美国运动的原因。我父亲和叔叔在我们国家的性格上留下了如此持久的印记，主要不是因为他们推行了什么特定的政策，而是因为他们能够激发人们对我们国家的深切热爱，并加强我们作为一个由理想凝聚在一起的国家共同体的自我意识。他们将爱融入普通美国人的意图和心中，团结了美国人、黑人和白人、西班牙裔，城市和乡村都被团结起来，激发美国人的感情、爱、远大希望和善良的文化，这些文化延续至今。
这就是我竞选时的精神，我打算将其带入特朗普总统的竞选中。我不会尖刻地批评和分化，而是呼吁团结我们的价值观，呼吁我们只要不互相争吵就能实现的目标。所有美国人最团结的主题是我们都爱我们的孩子。如果我们团结起来解决这个问题，我们终于可以给他们应得的保护、健康和未来。非常感谢大家。
原文节选：
Hello everyone. Welcome so much for being here. I had like to introduce everyone to Robert or bring on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I’m sorry to keep everybody waiting. 16 months ago in April of 2023, I launched my campaign for president of the United States. I began this journey as a Democrat, the party of my father, my uncle, the party which I pledge my own allegiance to long before I was old enough to vote. 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, the mainstream of American politics and journalism derided my decision. Conventional wisdom said that it would be impossible even to get on the ballot as an independent because each state poses an insurmountable tangle of arbitrary rules. For collecting signatures, I would need over a million signatures, something no presidential candidate in the history had ever achieved. And then I’d need a team of attorneys and millions of dollars to handle all the legal challenges from the DNSA. The naysayers told us that we were climbing a glass version of Mountain Impossible. So the first thing I want to tell you is that we prove them wrong.
We did it because beneath the radar of mainstream media organs, we inspired a massive independent political movement. More than a hundred thousand volunteers sprang into action, hopeful that they could reverse our nation’s to climb. Many worked 10 hour days, sometimes in blizzards and blazing heat, a sacrifice, family time, personal commitments and sleep. Month after month energized by a shared vision of a nation healed of its divisions set up tables at churches and farmers’ markets. They canvased door to door in Utah and in New Hampshire, volunteers collected signatures in snowstorms, convincing each supporter to stop in the frigid cold, to take off their gloves and to sign legibly. During a heat wave in Nevada, I met a tall athletic volunteer who cheerfully told me that he had lost 25 pounds collecting signatures in 117 degree heat. To finance this effort, young Americans donated their lunch hunting and senior citizens gave up their part of their social security checks.
Our 50 state organization collected those millions of signatures and more. No presidential campaign and American political history has ever done that. And so I want to thank all of those dedicated volunteers and congratulate the campaign staff who coordinated this enormous logistical feat. Your accomplishments were regarded as impossible. You carried me up that glass mountain, you pulled off a miracle. You achieve what all the pundits said could never be done. You have my deepest gratitude and I’m never going to forget that, not just for what you did for my campaign, but for the sacrifices you made. Because you love our country, you show to everyone that democracy is still possible here. It continues to survive in the press and in the idealistic human energies that still thrive beneath the canvas of neglect and of official and institutional corruption eruption. Today I’m here to tell you that I will not allow your efforts to go to waste.
I’m here to tell you that I will leverage your tremendous accomplishments to serve the ideals that we share, the ideals of peace, of prosperity, of freedom of health, all the ideals that motivated my campaign, I mean here today to describe the path forward that you’ve opened with your commitment and with your hard labors. Now, in an honest system, I believe that I would’ve won the election in a system that wanted kind, that my father and my uncles thrived in a system with open debates, with fair primaries, with regularly scheduled debates, with fair primaries, and with a truly independent media untainted by government propaganda and censorship in a system of nonpartisan courts and election boards, everything would be different. After all, polls consistently showed me beating each of the other candidates both in favorability and also in head-to-head matchups. But I’m sorry to say that while democracy may still be alive at the grassroots, it has become a little more than a slogan for our political institutions, for our media, and for our government, and most sadly at all, for me, the Democratic party in the name of saving democracy, the Democratic party set itself to dismantling it lacking confidence in its candidate that his candidate could win in a fair election.
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 Toro 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. How are people to choose when they don’t know whom they are choosing and how can this look to the rest of the world? My father and my uncle were always conscious of America’s image abroad because of our nation’s role as the template for democracy, the role model for democratic processes and the leader of the free world. 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 oh nothing, no policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons in highly produced Chicago circus.
There in Chicago, string of democratic speakers mentioned to Donald Trump 147 times just on the first day, who needs a policy when you have Trump to hate? In contrast, at the RNC convention, president Biden was mentioned only twice in four days. I do interviews every day. Many of you have interviewed me. Anybody who asks gets to interview me some days I do. As many as 10 President Trump who actually was nominated and won an election also does interviews daily. How did the Democratic Party choose a candidate that has never done an interview or debate during the entire election cycle? We know the answers. They did it by weaponizing the government agencies. They did it by abandoning democracy. They did it by suing the opposition and by disenfranchising American voters. What most alarms me isn’t how the Democratic party conducts its internal affairs or runs its candidates.
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 A, 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. In a campaign where my poll numbers reached at times in the high twenties, the DNC Allied mainstream media networks maintained a near perfect embargo on interviews with me during his 10 month presidential campaign In 1992, ROS Perot gave 34 interviews on mainstream networks.
In contrast, during the 16 months since I declared A-B-C-N-B, C-C-B-S-M-S-N-B-C and CNN combined gave only two live interviews from me. Those networks instead ran a continuous deluge of hit pieces with inaccurate, often vial, pejoratives and defamatory smears, some of those same networks and colluded with the DNC to keep me off the debate stage. 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.
This week, a federal judge Terry Doty, upheld my injunction against President Biden calling the White House’s Censorship Project, the most egregious violation of the First Amendment in the history of the United States, of America’s previous 155 page decision details. How just 37 hours after he took the oath of office swearing to uphold the constitution, president Biden and his White House opened up a portal and then invited the CIA, the FBI cisa, which is a censorship agency. It’s the center of the censorship industrial complex DHS, the IRS and other agencies, the Censor Mate and other political dissonance on social media. Even today, users who try to post my campaign videos to Facebook or YouTube and messages that this content violates community standards. Two days after Judge Jody rendered his decision this week, Facebook was still attaching warning labels to an online petition calling on a b, C to include me in the upcoming debate.
They said that violates community standards, their community standards, the mainstream media was once the guardian of the First Amendment and Democratic principles and has joined this systemic attack on democracy. It also, the media justifies their censorship on the grounds of combating misinformation, but governments and oppressors don’t censor lies. They don’t fear lies. They fear the truth and that’s what they censor. And I don’t want any of this to sound like a personal complaint because it’s not for me. It is all part of a journey and it’s a journey that I signed up with, but I need to make these observations because I think they’re critical for us doing the thing that we need to do as citizens democracy to assess where we are in this country and what our democracy still looks like and the assumptions about us leadership around the globe and are we living?
Are we really still a role model for democracy in this country or have we made it a kind of a joke? Here’s the good news on mainstream outlets denied me a critical platform. It didn’t shut down my ideas, which have especially flourished among young voters and independent voters. Thanks to the alternative media, many months ago I promised the American people that I would withdraw from the race if I became a spoiler, a spoiler, someone will alter the outcome of the election but has no chance of winning in my heart. I no longer believe that I have a realistic past of electoral victory in the face of this relentless systematic censorship and media control. So I cannot in good conscience ask my staff and volunteers to keep working their long hours or ask my donors to keep giving when I cannot honestly tell them that I have a real path to the White House. Furthermore, our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats with whom I disagree on the most existential issues, censorship, war and chronic disease. I want everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign. I am simply suspending it and not ending it.
My name will remain on the ballot In most states, if you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or Vice President Harris and Red States. The same will apply. I encourage you to vote for me and if enough of you do vote for me and neither of the major party candidates win 270 votes, which is quite possible. In fact, today our polling shows them tying it 2 69 to 2 69 and I could conceivably still end up in the White House in a contingent election, but in about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name and I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me. It’s with a sense of victory and not defeat that I’m suspending my campaign activities. Not only did we do the impossible by collecting a million signatures and we changed the national political conversation forever, chronic disease, free speech, government corruption, breaking our addiction to war have moved to the center of politics.
I can say to all of worked so hard the last year and a half. Thank you for a job well done. Great causes drove me to enter this race in the first place primarily, and these are the principle causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic party and run as an independent and now to throw my support to President Trump. The clauses were free speech, a war and the war on our children.
I’m speaking of course of Donald Trump. Less than two hours after President Trump narrowly escaped assassination, gall means called me on my cell phone. I was then in Las Vegas. Ali is arguably the leading advocate for food safety, for soil regeneration, and for ending the chronic disease epidemic that is destroying America’s health and ruining our economy. Ali has exposed the insidious corruption at the FDA, the NIH, the HHS and the USDA that has caused the epidemic. Allie had been working on and off for my campaign advising me on those subjects since the beginning, and those subjects have been my primary focus for the last 20 years. I was delighted when Kelly told me that day that he had also been advising President Trump. He told me President Trump was anxious to talk to me about chronic disease and other subjects and to explore avenues of cooperation.
He asked if I would take a call from the president. President Trump telephoned me a few minutes later and I met with him the following day. A few weeks later, I met again with President Trump and his family members and close advisors in Florida and a series of long intense discussions. I was surprised to discover that we are aligned on many key issues in those meetings. He suggested that we join forces as a unity party. We talked about Abraham Lincoln’s team of rivals. That arrangement would allow us to disagree publicly and privately and fiercely if need be on issues over which we differ while working together on the existential issues upon which we are in concordance. I was a ferocious critic of many of the policies during his first administration, and there are still issues and approaches upon which we continue to have very serious differences, but we are aligned with each other on other key issues like ending the forever wars, ending the childhood disease epidemics, securing the border, protecting freedom of speech, unraveling the corporate capture of our regulatory agencies, getting the US intelligence agencies out of the business of propagandizing and censoring and surveilling Americans and interfering with our elections.
Following my first discussion with President Trump, I tried unsuccessfully to open similar discussions with Vice President Harris, vice President Harris declined to meet or even to speak with me. Suspending my candidacy is a hard rendering decision for me, but I’m convinced that it’s the best hope or ending the Ukraine war and ending the chronic disease epidemic that is eroding our nation’s vitality from the inside and for finally protecting free speech. I feel a moral obligation to use this opportunity to save millions of American children above all things in case some of you don’t realize how dire the condition is of our children’s health and chronic disease in general, I would urge you to view Dr. Carlson’s recent interview with Kelly means and his sister Dr. Casey means who is the top graduate of her class at Stanford Medical School. This is an issue that affects all of us far more directly and urgently than any culture war issue and all the other issues that we obsess on and that are tearing apart our country.
This is the most important issue, therefore, it has the potential to bring us together. So let me share a little bit about why I believe it’s so urgent today. Two thirds, we spend more on healthcare than any country on earth, twice what they pay in Europe, and yet we have the worst health outcomes of any nation in the world. We’re about 79th and ALF outcomes behind Costa Rica and Nicaragua and Mongolia and other countries. Nobody has a disease burden like we have. And during the Covid epidemic, we had the highest body count of any country in the world. We had 16% of the covid deaths and we only have 4.2% of the world’s population. And CDC says that’s because we are the sickest people on earth. We have the highest chronic disease rate on earth. And to the average American who died, COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases, so these were people who had immune system collapse, who had mitochondrial dysfunction, and no other country has anything like this.
Two thirds of American adults and children suffer from chronic health issues. 50 years ago, that number was less than 1%, so we’ve gone from 1% to 66% in America, 74% of Americans are now overweight or obese and 50% of our children. 120 years ago when somebody was obese, they were sent to the circus. They were literally, there were case reports done about them. Obesity was almost unknown. In Japan, the childhood obesity rate is 3% compared to 50% a year. Half of Americans have pre-diabetes or type two diabetes. When my uncle was president, I was a boy. Juvenile diabetes was effectively non-existent. A typical pediatrician would see one case of diabetes during his entire career, a 40 or 50 year career. Today, one out of every three kids who walks through his office door is diabetic or pre-diabetic and the mitochondrial disorder that caused diabetes also causing Alzheimer’s, which is now classified as diabetes and it’s causing this country more than our military budget.
Every year there’s been an explosion of neurological illnesses that I never saw as a kid. A-D-D-A-D-H-D, speech delay, language delay, Tourette syndrome, narcolepsy, A SD, Asperger’s, autism. In the year 2000, the autism rate was one in 1500. Now, autism rates in kids are one in 36 according to CDC nationally, nobody’s talking about this. One in every 22 kids in California has autism, and this is a crisis that 77% of our kids are too disabled to serve in the United States military. What is happening to our country and why isn’t this in the headlines every single day? There’s nobody else in the world that is experiencing this. This is only happening in America about 18%, and by the way, there has been no change in diagnosis, which the industry sometimes like to say. There has been no change in screening. This is a change in incidents in my generation, 70-year-old men, the odd rates are about one in 10,000 in my kids’ generation.
One in 34, I’ll repeat in California one in 22. Why are we letting this happen? Why are we allowing this to happen to our children? These are the most precious assets that we have in this country. How can we let this happen to them? About 18% of American teens now have fatty liver disease. That’s like one out of every five. That disease when I was a kid only affected late stage alcoholics who are elderly. Cancer rates are skyrocketing and the young and the old young adult cancers are up 79%. One in four American women is on antidepressant medication. 40% of teens have a mental teens have a mental health diagnosis, and 15% of high schoolers are on Adderall and half a million children on SSRIs. So what’s causing this suffering? I’ll name two culprits. First and the worst is ultra processed food. About 70% of American children’s diet is ultra processed.
That means industrial manufacturing a factory. These foods consist primarily of processed sugar, ultra processed grains and seed oils. Laboratory scientists who have form, many of ’em formally worked for the cigarette industry, which purchased all the big food companies in the 1970s and eighties, deployed thousands of scientists to figure out chemicals, new chemicals to make the food more addictive and these ingredients didn’t exist a hundred years ago. Humans aren’t biologically adapted to eat them. Hundreds of these chemicals are now banned in Europe, but ubiquitous in American processed foods. The second culprit is toxic chemicals in our food and our medicine, in our environment. As pesticides, food additives, pharmaceutical drugs and toxic ways permeate every cell of our bodies. These assault on our children’s cells and hormones is unrelenting to name just one problem. Many of these chemicals increase estrogen because young children are ingesting so many of these hormone disruptors.
America’s puberty rate is now occurring at age 10 to 13, which is six years earlier than girls. Were reaching puberty in 1900. Our country has the earliest puberty rates of any continent on the earth and no, this isn’t because of better nutrition. This is not normal. Breast cancer is also estrogen driven and it now strikes one in eight women. We are mass poisoning all of our children and our adults considering the grievous human cause of this tragic epidemic of chronic disease. It seems almost crass to mention the damage it does to our economy, but I’ll say it is crippling the nation’s finances. When my uncle was president of our country who spent $0 on chronic disease today, government healthcare spending is almost all for chronic disease and it’s double the military budget and it is the fastest budget growing budget item in the federal budget and chronic disease costs more to the economy as a whole, costs at least $4 trillion five times our military budget, and that’s a 20% drag on everything we do and everything we aspire to or in minority communities suffer disproportionately.
People who worry about DEI or about bigotry of any kind, this dwarfs anything. We are poisoning the poor. We are systematically poisoning minorities across this country. Industry lobbyists have made sure that most of the food stamp lunch program, about 70% of food stamps and 70 or 77% of school lunches are processed foods. There’s no vegetables, there’s nothing that you would want to eat. We are just poisoning the poorest citizens and that’s why they have the highest chronic disease burden of anybody, any demographic in our country and the highest in the world, the same food industry lobbed to make sure that nearly all agricultural subsidies o to commodity crops that are the feed stock of processed food industry. These policies are destroying small farms and they’re destroying our soils. We give give about, I think eight times as much in subsidies to tobacco and we do to fruits and vegetables. It makes no sense if we want a healthy country. The good news is that we can change all this.
We can change it very, very quickly. America can get healthy again. To do that, we need to do three things. First, we need to root out the corruption in our health agencies. Second, we need to change incentives in our healthcare system, and third, we need to inspire Americans to get healthy again. 80% of NIH grants go to people who have conflicts of interest. These the people, virtually everybody who says Joe Biden just appointed a new panel to NIH to decide the food recommendations, and they’re all people who are from the industry. They’re all people who are from the processed food companies. They’re deciding what Americans here is healthy and the recommendations on the food pyramid and what goes to our school lunch programs, which go to the program, the Swiss program, the food stamp programs, they’re all corrupted and conflicted individuals. These agencies, the F-D-A-U-S-D-A and CDC, all of them are controlled by giant.
For-profit corporations, 75% of the FDA’s funding doesn’t come from taxpayer. It comes from pharma and pharma executives and consultants and lobbyists cycle in and out of these agencies with President Trump’s backing. I’m going to change that. We’re going to staff these agencies with haunted scientists and doctors who are free from industry funding. We’re going to make sure that decisions of consumers, doctors, and patients are informed by unbiased science. A sick child is the best thing for the pharmaceutical industry. When American children or adults get sick with a chronic condition, they’re put on medications for their entire life. Imagine what will happen when Medicare starts paying for ozempic, which caused $1,500 a month and it’s being recommended for children as young as six, all for condition obesity that is completely preventable and barely even existed a hundred years ago. Since 74% of Americans are obese, the cost if all of them took their ozempic prescription is $3 trillion a year.
This is a drug that is made by Novo Nordisk, the biggest company in Europe. It’s a Danish company and the Danish government does not recommend it. It recommends change in diet to treat obesity and exercise and in our country. The recommendation now is for Ozempic to children at age six. Novo Nortis, the biggest company in Europe and virtually its entire value is based upon its projections of what it’s going to sell of the Ozempic. It’s going to sell to America, and we have the food lobbyists have a bill in front of Congress today that is backed by the White House, backed by Vice President Harris and President Biden to allow this to happen. This is $3 trillion clause that is going to bankrupt our country for a fraction of that amount. We could buy organic food for every American family, three meals a day and eliminate diabetes altogether.
We’re going to bring healthy food back to school lunches. We’re going to stop subsidizing the worst foods with our agricultural subsidies. We’re going to get toxic chemicals out of our food. We’re going to reform the entire food system, and for that we need new leadership in Washington because unfortunately, both the Democrats and the Republican parties are in cahoots with the big food producers, big pharma and big Ag, which are among the ES major donors. Vice President Harris has expressed no interest in addressing this issue. Four more years of democratic rule will complete the consolidation of corporate and NeoCon power and our children will be the ones who suffer most. I got involved with chronic disease 20 years ago, not because I chose to or wanted to. It was essentially thrust upon me. It was an issue that should have been central to the environmental movement.
I was a central leader at that time, but it was widely ignored by all the institutions, including the NGOs who should have been protecting our kids against toxins. It was an orphaned issue and I had a weakness for orphans. I watched generations of children get sicker and sicker. I had 11 siblings and I had seven kids myself. I was conscious of what was happening in their classrooms and to their friends, and I watched these sick kids, these damaged kids in that generation. Almost all of ’em are damaged and nobody in power seemed to care or to even notice. For 19 years, I prayed every morning that God would put me in a position to end this calamity. The chronic disease crisis was one of the primary reasons for my running for president along with ending censorship in the Ukraine war. It’s the reason I’ve made the heart wrenching decision to suspend my campaign and to support President Trump that this decision is agonizing for me because of the difficulties it causes my wife and my children and my friends, but I have the certainty that this is what I’m meant to do and that certainty gives me internal peace even in storms.
If I’m given the chance to fix the chronic disease crisis and reform our food production, I promise that within two years we will watch chronic disease burden lift dramatically. We will make Americans healthy again. Within four years, America will be a healthy country. We will be stronger, more resilient, more optimistic, and happier. I won’t fail in doing this. Ultimately the future, however it happens is in God’s hands and in the hands of the American voters and those of President Trump. If President Trump is elected and honors his word, the vast burden of chronic disease that now demoralizes and bankrupts, the country will disappear. This as a spiritual journey for me. I reached my decision through deep prayer, through Hardnosed logic, and I asked myself, what choices must I make to maximize my chances to save America’s children and restore national health? I felt that if I refuse this opportunity, I would not be able to look myself in the mirror knowing that I could have saved lives of countless children and reversed this country’s chronic disease epidemic.
I’m 70 years old, I may have a decade to be effective. I can’t imagine that President Harris, a President Harris, would allow me or anyone to solve these dire problems. After eight years of President Harris, any opportunity for me to fix the problem will be out of my reach forever. President Trump has told me that he wants this to be his legacy. I’m choosing to believe that this time he will follow through his son, his biggest donors, his closest friends, and all support this objective. My joining the Trump campaign will be a difficult sacrifice, or my wife and children are worthwhile if there’s even a small chance of saving these kids. Ultimately, the only thing that will save our country and our children is if we choose to love our kids more than we hate each other. That’s why I launched my campaign to unify America.
My dad and uncle made such an enduring mark on the character of our nation, not so much because of any particular policies that they promoted, but because they were able to inspire profound love for our country and to fortify our sense of ourselves as a national community held together by ideals, they were able to put their love into the intentions and hearts of ordinary Americans and to unify a national populist movement of Americans, blacks and whites, Hispanics, urban and rural Americans, inspired affection and love and high hopes and a culture of kindness that continue to radiate among Americans from their memory. That’s the spirit on which I ran my campaign and that I intend to bring into the campaign of President Trump. Instead of vitriol and polarization, I will appeal to the values they unite us, the goals that we could achieve if only we weren’t at each other’s throats. The most unifying theme for all Americans is that we all love our children. If we all unite around that issue, now we can finally give them the protection, health, and the future that they deserve. Thank you all very much.
