1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,300
I'm sure you will know the source of this.

2
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:08,600
The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,560
And we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies,

4
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:18,760
to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

5
00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:25,000
We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,500
of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.

7
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:37,420
And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security

8
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:41,980
will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning

9
00:00:41,980 --> 00:00:46,080
to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.

10
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,040
This particular speech is very prophetic.

11
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:58,180
I want to ask you about secrecy and secret societies in the sense of, you know,

12
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:05,260
during the times of 1963 to 68, there was four assassinations.

13
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,280
Two whom were family members of yours and the other two who were family members of mine.

14
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,940
Malcolm X and Martin Luther King.

15
00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:23,700
Now, as we talk about, you know, the forces that your uncle laid out,

16
00:01:24,460 --> 00:01:26,440
who do you think that he was speaking to?

17
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,480
Because during the 60s, right, was one of the most powerful and pivotal times

18
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,860
as far as leaders working to influence the future of America, right?

19
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:41,120
And it seemed to be, you know, these forces behind the scenes that some people call

20
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,840
shadow government, some people call managerial class, right?

21
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,260
There's all of these different names for it.

22
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,940
But people think about who has the most power.

23
00:01:50,140 --> 00:01:53,300
Often people think that it is the president of the United States.

24
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,700
So why would he have such a veiled speech in a manner, right,

25
00:01:58,740 --> 00:02:03,500
about secrecy and secret orders and secret oaths and secret proceedings, right?

26
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:04,760
What was he alluding to?

27
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:09,280
Just so that people know that speech was my uncle, John F. Kennedy.

28
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:09,860
Yes, sir.

29
00:02:09,860 --> 00:02:16,060
Oh, and, you know, I think he was warning us against the world that we now live in,

30
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:22,140
which is one of his primary interests was keeping the country out of war.

31
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:31,460
And he discovered very quickly into his administration that he was surrounded by an intelligence apparatus,

32
00:02:31,460 --> 00:02:37,500
military brass who considered war with the Soviet Union not only to be inevitable,

33
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:42,300
but also to be desirable and as quickly as possible.

34
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:48,260
Because at that point, we had a larger arsenal than the Soviet Union.

35
00:02:48,260 --> 00:02:54,840
He refused to go to Cuba in 61 and then again in 63 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

36
00:02:55,140 --> 00:03:03,560
And then he refused in 62 the opportunity to go to war during the Checkpoint Charlie Crisis in Germany.

37
00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:04,960
He kept us out of Vietnam.

38
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,060
He never sent a combat troop to Vietnam.

39
00:03:07,060 --> 00:03:17,920
And a month before he died to the day, he signed National Security Order 263, ordering all the troops home from Vietnam.

40
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,740
30 days later, he was murdered.

41
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:31,220
And I think it was, you know, he was referring to a group of people who were really robbing us of democracy.

42
00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:35,160
Democracy is about transparency because we own the government.

43
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,500
The government has no business lying to us.

44
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,640
And now it lies, not only lies, but hides things every day, you see.

45
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:52,160
I mean, we saw congressional hearings this week in which David Morens, who was the deputy to Anthony Fauci,

46
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:00,160
is telling, had emails in which he was bragging that he had been coached by the Freedom of Information staff,

47
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:11,420
by the chief Freedom of Information officer at NIH, how to hide his emails, how to destroy them in ways in which he couldn't be caught.

48
00:04:11,420 --> 00:04:19,180
So that the transparency officer at that agency, the person who's in charge of making sure there's no secrets,

49
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,160
was actually coaching high-level staffers how to keep secrets.

50
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,700
And, you know, of course, if government is allowed to keep secrets, they're not working for us anymore.

51
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:31,200
They're working for somebody else.

52
00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:36,900
They're either working in their own interests or they're working for some larger interests.

53
00:04:37,260 --> 00:04:42,160
And, you know, I think that is the danger that our democracy can be subverted.

54
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:51,280
Teddy Roosevelt warned in 1903, he said, American democracy will never be destroyed by a foreign enemy.

55
00:04:51,460 --> 00:04:52,520
We're too powerful.

56
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,620
We've got the oceans between us and any potential enemies where we have a very, very strong military, a huge economy.

57
00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:03,300
We simply cannot be conquered.

58
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:14,040
But our democratic institutions and all the values of our country will be subverted by what he called malefactors of great wealth who will steal them from within.

59
00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:16,820
Who killed your uncle, right?

60
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:17,780
Who killed your dad?

61
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,300
And all of the same people that assassinated Martin Luther King and Michael May.

62
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:44,140
Yeah, and, you know, most people don't know this, but Martin Luther King's family, Dexter and Marty and the rest of the family, Coretta Scott King, who was with me when my dad died and who then, you know, was on the airplane when we brought my dad's body home from L.A. to New York.

63
00:05:44,140 --> 00:05:50,300
But they sued, they did a lawsuit that received almost no publicity, you know.

64
00:05:50,740 --> 00:05:55,040
Meaning that they sued the government for the assassination of Martin Luther King and won.

65
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,100
They won that suit, a civil suit.

66
00:05:57,980 --> 00:06:05,280
The evidence that we have now is so voluminous, including confessions of probably 30 people who were involved in his assassination.

67
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,780
A lot of them deathbed confessions.

68
00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:11,340
But that clearly shows that there was CIA involvement.

69
00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:21,100
Lee Harvey Oswald, the New York Times now admits this, was a CIA asset since, I think, 1957 or 58.

70
00:06:21,940 --> 00:06:31,480
And the CIA is still involved in covering up the final documents that are legally, the government legally is required.

71
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:39,380
Congress passed a law saying that by 2018, all documents related to my uncle's assassination had to be released.

72
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:42,400
And the CIA will not allow that to happen.

73
00:06:42,540 --> 00:06:46,700
President Trump ran in 2016 and said he was going to release them all.

74
00:06:47,860 --> 00:06:50,240
He got into office and he changed his mind.

75
00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:52,540
President Biden made the same promise.

76
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:55,420
He got into office and changed his mind.

77
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,920
Why do they change their mind?

78
00:06:57,180 --> 00:06:58,400
You know, why are they hiding?

79
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:06,020
If you were elected to be president, would you then release the files of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Robert F. Kennedy, and John F. Kennedy?

80
00:07:06,020 --> 00:07:08,860
And would you keep that promise, which is hard to say to the politicians?

81
00:07:08,860 --> 00:07:10,560
The day I get into office, we're going to release all those documents.

82
00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:11,120
The day.

83
00:07:11,380 --> 00:07:13,400
Yeah, that's going to be a big day.

84
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:22,020
I'm also going to sign an executive order forbidding all federal agents, any federal employee from lying to the public.

85
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:31,480
And the executive order is going to say any federal officer official who lies to the public in conjunction with his official duties is going to immediately lose his job.

86
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:40,880
I'm going to pass another executive order day one forbidding the CIA from propagandizing American people.
