It's really about siphoning votes from Biden. The polls I'm seeing, Bobby takes 70 percent of the votes from Biden and 30 percent from Trump.

You cannot measure a Nation just by its wealth. The Gross National Product, measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom . . . nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life…

I am extremely likely to vote for Robert Kennedy. He is willing to state that we should not blindly trust corporations or our government.

Unemployment kills.

The one thing that would give us an advantage over totalitarian systems was this capacity for the free flow of information.

The corner foundation stone of our system is freedom of speech.

Trust in the experts is not a function of science. It's not a function of democracy. It's a function of religion and totalitarianism.

I feel my party is departing--has departed from some of those core values.

It just seems crazy to me that anybody thinks that it's OK to censor.

We cannot survive as a democracy if we are not ready to die for the right for even people who are appalling to speak.

Those are known as blood libel, and they are one of the worst and most disturbing parts of human history.

That is exactly the function that the United States Constitution assigned to the people of--to the Members of Congress.

Congressman, what you're saying is a lie.

My mission over the next 18 months of this campaign and throughout my Presidency will be to end of corrupt merger of State and corporate power that is threatening to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism in our country.

We need to be able to talk--and the First Amendment was not written for easy speech. It was written for the speech that nobody likes you for.

Censorship is antithetical to our party. It was appalling to my father, to my uncle, to FDR, Harry Truman, and Thomas Jefferson.

Malinformation is information that is true, but is inconvenient to the government, that they don't want people to hear.

We have to stop trying to destroy each other, to marginalize, to vilify, to gaslight each other.

I have never advised Black Americans not to receive vaccines.

I denounce that theory. It is racist, and I have never endorsed it or had any association with it.

Those are not true. These are defamations and malignancies that are used to censor me.

I think, Ranking Member, that we should have a real conversation rather than an exchange of ad hominem attacks.

I think democracy is dependent on the free flow of information.

A government that can censor its critics has license for every atrocity. It is the beginning of totalitarianism.

If you can't have that robust debate and figure things out, the alternative is scary.
