‘It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way’: Thousands Convene in D.C. to ‘Rescue the Republic’
Thousands gathered on Sept. 29 at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to overcome their differences and reclaim their country at “Rescue the Republic.”
Thousands gathered on Sept. 29 at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to overcome their differences and reclaim their country at “Rescue the Republic.”
A “rebel alliance” coordinated by Bret Weinstein, Ph.D., Matt Tune and Angela McCardle set about clearing the rhetorical rubble to excavate the foundation of America’s original intent. It was powerful.
Organizers sent an open invitation to anyone willing to step out of their comfort zone to protect our children’s future. Thousands of Americans answered the call.
Weinstein captured the spirit of the day in his opening speech:
“The attributes that unite us in this historic time and place live not in the mind, but in the heart. What has caused us to converge is a powerful force, a product that blooms when courage and love are combined … When people face their fears for something they truly love, the force they become shapes history for the better. And that is what fuels our rescue mission.
“This is not a political exercise. We are non-partisan and brought together across ideological lines to right the ship of state and put her back on course toward an objective spelled out, but not fully achieved by the American founders.”
Throughout the seven-hour event, Masters of Ceremony Rob Schneider and Lara Logan introduced a spectrum of voices — first responders, legislators, doctors, educators, entertainers, activists, doctors, scientists, attorneys and parents — who laid out our current predicament while striking resonance in our collective hope for the future.
And Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rooted us into our duty to delegate power mindfully:
“I want you all to remember three rules: 1. When you give a government a power, it will never voluntarily relinquish it. 2. If you give a government a power, it will ultimately abuse that power to the maximum extent possible. 3. Nobody ever complied their way out of totalitarianism.”
Heather Heying, Ph.D., powerfully summed up the current plight of our children and invited the crowd to reintroduce nature, wonder, healthy learning curves and family boundaries to restore healthy childhoods. Moms for Liberty’s Tiffany Justice encouraged everyone to remind the federal government that we do not co-parent with them.
Children’s Health Defense CEO Mary Holland walked the crowd through a childhood vaccine schedule stacked with shots that haven’t been properly tested and are known to cause injury and death among our children. She said:
“This is insane. This is corrupt. This is criminal. Vulnerable children need a public champion and they have one in Bobby Kennedy. He is not only defending children, he is committed to making them healthy again.”
Dr. Pierre Kory called for “transparency in our institutions and accountability for the decisions that affected millions of lives.”
Independent economist Chris Martenson, Ph.D., addressed the financial industrial complex, America’s insolvency, the dangers of central bank digital currencies and the need to preserve the “freedom of spending.”
“We have a group of people in power here who think nothing of spending money they don’t have, expecting your children and grandchildren to pay for it, and nothing to show for it … It doesn’t have to be this way.”
Comedian and podcaster Jimmy Dore shared his rude awakening from vaccine propaganda and mainstream narratives and asked us to redirect our indignation toward corporate media:
“We have to stop listening to the corporate media. The corporate media works for the billionaire elites who want us fighting and blaming each other for everything that’s wrong instead of keeping our eyes on them. … Remember, they don’t ever censor lies.”
Predictably, mainstream coverage of “Rescue the Republic” was scant and disparaging. The Wall Street Journal’s Molly Ball called the event a “testament to the axis of weird.” (So “weird” that Americans want to restore the founding principles of their country.) The Atlantic used the event as yet another opportunity to mock critical thinking.

The rise of critical thinking and moral courage
The people we trusted to lead this country tried to break the American spirit. But Americans are returning to reclaim it, along with our health, our media, our education, our food, air and water, our music and entertainment, our currency, our values, our kids and our rights.
And if “Rescue the Republic” is any indication of the strength, resilience and ingenuity of “the resistance,” globalist puppets are screwed. Because the tyrannical toolkit they’re using was made by the same folks that brought us that “safe and effective” mRNA vaccine — and they can no longer hide the waning efficacy of either.
We’re no longer willing to deny what our own eyes have seen, and we’re determined to know the truth and protect our kids. We’re not going to accept free donuts, comfortable illusions and state-sanctioned “virtue.”
We’re over the labels and when the emperor has no clothes, we’re going to say so, no matter who the emperor is. We’re getting back in touch with our instincts — and that doesn’t bode well for captured organizations that want to sell us tired lies about what’s good for us.
This situation no longer serves us and we’re outgrowing it.
To some, this is the “testament to the axis of weird.”
But we agree with The Atlantic: “THIS is where you end up when you do your own research.”
