Hey folks, we are live. You have just seen us scrambling to get things going. So here we are. Welcome to the dark horse podcast. Is this our 29 29th live stream in a few short months and a few short months. Yes.

0:28.6

So we've got lots to do and talk about today. We are also being filmed as we speak by CBS which wants to talk about cancel culture. I don't know if they have advanced warning that we are soon to be canceled again, but it is possible that another cancellation is coming. So keep your eye out for that. I have also asked them if we could possibly talk on CBS about unity 2020 and that possibility exists. So please keep your eye out for further

0:58.6

information that may come across your regular old TV through the network in the meantime. We also say that did you already say that Zach is a couple hundred miles away today. Yes, Zach is run off. He put a sheet and he filled it with some clothes and I don't know what else a laptop and he threw it over a stick on his shoulder and he wandered off. He's gotten a couple hundred miles away. He is remotely monitoring this but he is in no position to save us if things go wrong. So let's hope they do.

1:28.6

Not all right. All right. Dr. Hying. Dr. Weinstein. I have promised my Twitter followers that I will talk about unity 2020 at the top here so they don't have to wait. If that's what they're waiting for. Oh, I see. I've got things sticking up and back. Well, there's nothing to be done at this point is there.

1:45.7

Funny, Robert. Okay, unity 2020. Here's the here's the deal. It is going great at one level. We are discovering the most amazing set of patriots. These are people who are frightened about where we're headed. People who love their country and are ready to sacrifice for it. And they are showing up to offer all kinds of help skills that we definitely need. So things are rapidly in motion.

2:11.7

As I have mentioned before, there is a curious lack that people who tell us that they are very much on board with the plan do not always do anything that allows us to count them so that we can say how many people are actually rooting for us. And I wanted to talk a little bit about why I think that might be.

2:29.7

So before you talk about why you think there's a failure somewhere. Why don't you say both here? Why don't you bracket this conversation by saying what? What should be happening? What would you like people to be doing?

2:41.3

Well, here's the long and short of it. The long and short of it is there is exactly one thing that we do not have. And this plan could actually work. Believe it or not, it is not too late. Everything that needs to happen can happen. What we need is a visible groundswell of American citizens eligible to vote.

2:58.3

Right, but where do they sign up? Where's the place that you want them to be signing up?

3:02.3

We want them to go to the website articles of unity.org. You will find there are links to offer your volunteer support to sign up for our email list and let us know where you are and what you're thinking. So please do that.

3:18.3

You should also follow our Twitter account if you are on Twitter articles of unity at articles of unity. Those are the places to go. There will be more opportunities showing up this week. And so anyway, those are the places to sign up for you to find out about what is emerging.

3:34.3

And yes, we are looking for your help, but really you want to do something for us find two people with ears to hear and tell them that's it.

3:42.3

Two people and then you ask them can you find two people that'll work. Right. That will you won't know that will have happened unless they also sign up unless they show up at those at those addresses.

3:53.3

Yeah. All right. So now I want to talk to you. I'm noticing. I need to center myself a little bit more in the shot. Okay.

4:01.3

So here's the model that I came up with as I was driving back from dropping Zach at his bicycle maintenance course that he is taking.

4:11.3

What I realized was that we are hearing pushback from a couple of quadrants. And one of those quadrants are people who say things to us like this sounds like a great plan.

4:24.3

Without waiting till 2024 when we've already allowed Joe Biden to clear Donald Trump from the White House, et cetera, et cetera. Could you please just show this plan seems really cool.

4:34.3

I got to say that sounds a great idea because it will give all of the enemies of the plan much more time to organize and get their shit together.

4:41.3

I hadn't even thought of that. That's a great point. Here's the thing. If you are somebody who has been alarmed about the corruption of our system and the role that the do uply plays in that corruption.

4:51.3

And if you are aware of that for decades, then you know that every single election cycle we go through this. Right. You say, you know what?

4:58.3

This is not going to solve itself. The do uply has a lock on power and that lock on power is being used to serve interest that are not the interest of the American people.

5:06.3

What are we going to do about it if you say that?
