00:00These guys are basically ruling with, you know, rage and angry and angriness and lies.
00:20People lose their lives and disappear in the sand in the deserts or they dissolve
00:25in the water in the ocean here. And the world is melting and these guys are basically ruling with,
00:34you know, rage and angry and angriness and lies. And they are basically stating or writing
00:44fiction and making people believe that those are real things and facts. So I think the only thing
00:50I personally can react to is I'm not a politician, but as an artist I can basically just express
00:57through my art and with a heart open just basically what I think.
01:02I'm taking the role of a concerned citizen like everybody else. I think like all of us do, we see that there are dramatic changes happening to our planet. It's hard not to.
01:27Certainly in the United States, we are the ones that should set an example for the rest of the world.
01:33We are the most powerful democracy in the planet, but we're also the largest polluters.
01:47For profound lasting change to occur, it needs to take place through specific actions,
01:54not through generalizations and not through pontification. And it's, you know, it's addressing
01:59the gender gap and it's addressing the racial diversity and the equality and,
02:06you know, the way we make the work. Would I like to see more women in competition? Absolutely.
02:12Only someone who despises our young people who have offered to serve and protect our country and give up their lives if necessary to send them to war based on a lie is the worst violation of trust you could have and the worst way to treat our troops.
02:42He is against our troops. He has put them in harm's way for no good reason other than to line the pockets of his friends and benefactors. That is, he is the most anti-troop person in America.
02:56He is against our troops. He has put them in harm's way for no good reason other than to line the pockets of his friends and benefactors. That is, he is the most anti-troop person in America.
