When the next speaker did something incredibly brave, which is that he resigned in protest of this war from an extremely high position in the intelligence community.

He must have known what was coming at him at that point, the most vulnerable time.

What happened to me after I woke up and the shock partially wore off is I got a call for my good

friend Eric Garris at anti-war.com. And he said,

a mutual friend of ours knows how to get in touch with Joe, you should have them speak at your

conference. And I don't take suggestions. I don't take requests, but I thought that was a pretty darn

good suggestion. And so I texted Joe, and I could only imagine how his phone was ringing

off the hook. I texted him, and I waited a while, and I thought, that was a good idea. It's not

going to work out. And then I finally heard back from him, and he said, you know, I love Ron Paul,

and I love to see if I can make it work. And he's just a perfect person for us because he is a man of great integrity who sacrificed

more than anyone that should have to sacrifice for their country.

And he's willing to come and speak with us and encourage us in what we're doing.

So we're so grateful to have Mr. Joe Kent.

Thank you.

Well, thank you all very much.

I'm very honored to be here. Can you guys hear me?

Okay, good. Very honored to be here. Dr. Paul, thank you so much for having me. You've been an inspiration for Americans who care about liberty and fighting for the truth for multiple

generations now. So it's a true honor to be here. I kind of had a roundabout way coming here to get to this moment in my life and in my career.

So I'm going to talk a little bit about who I am, what I fought for, why I left the administration,

and how we kind of got to this moment that we're in right now, where despite all the promises that were made,

despite all the lessons that should have been learned for the last 20 plus years, we find ourselves in the midst of another Middle East war.

And I think that this one is probably going to be more catastrophic than the ones that we fought in previously.
