| We stand here together for our agenda, which is threefold. | |
| We're not here to advocate what we're against. | |
| We're here truly to advocate what we're for. | |
| And here's what we advocate for, every one of us on this stage. | |
| We are for our children. | |
| So since we're for our children, we're for your children. | |
| That's a good thing to be for. | |
| Can I get agreement from everybody? | |
| Number two, we're for truth. | |
| There should not be one person in America or in this world that not should be pursuant to truth and should be pursuing truth passionately. | |
| So we're here for truth. | |
| And number three? | |
| We're here for safety. | |
| Children, truth, and safety. | |
| That is our agenda, and that's what we stand unified here for. | |
| Rob Dew with InfoWars.com. | |
| We are on location at the National Press Club in D.C. And my guest here is Nico LaHood. | |
| He is the District Attorney for Bayard County, which is in San Antonio. | |
| And I first became aware of Mr. LaHood through a video that was put out through Vaxxed talking about the story of his two children. | |
| So, Mr. LaHood, if you could just maybe go over that real quick and then we can get on to why you were here today. | |
| No problem. | |
| Well, we're blessed with four children. | |
| Our first two children, of course, we didn't know any better. | |
| And like all parents, I think, you just follow whatever. | |
| I'm not blaming doctors, by the way, but we vaccinated our children per the schedule. | |
| And our first child, when she was six months old, broke out in these hives. | |
| We were told it was an autoimmune disease. | |
| We were told something as ridiculous as she was allergic to my wife's breast milk, which is insane. | |
| Anything but vaccines. | |
| So we didn't know, so we kept vaccinating her. | |
| She had these hives and she had these skin issues, which she still has today, by the way. | |
| Our second child is born. | |
| He's vaccinated immediately, first day through the schedule, and he's developing normally. | |
| Eye contact, responding to his name, following attention, developing, hitting all milestones. | |
| And around the 16-month shots, and as you know, 14 to 18 months the MMR is given, we lost him. | |
| And so something happened to our son between his development before 16 months and after. | |
| There's an intervening cause, as we say in the law. | |
| What was it? | |
| We didn't drop him, and we weren't in a car accident. | |
| Something happened and when we looked back and no one blamed vaccines again, we said it was the vaccines. | |
| There's no doubt about it. | |
| It was immediate and it was very drastic. | |
| We lost eye contact. | |
| He started stemming. | |
| He would not respond to his name and we couldn't keep his attention. | |
| And so we knew then. | |
| So we started questioning. | |
| We stopped vaccinating our first two children. | |
| And then we just did not, we chose not to vaccinate our last two children. | |
| And they're drastically different children with sicknesses and ear infections or lack thereof in the last two. | |
| So we've become this unintended experiment that my wife and I didn't sign up for, but we're here. | |
| So now what do we do with that information? | |
| What do we do with that experience? | |
| Do we just whine and complain? | |
| Or do we try to use even a bad, challenging situation to bless other families? | |
| Now, my son is not... | |
| A challenge to me, I mean, he's perfect. | |
| God doesn't make mistakes. | |
| He continues to teach me lessons in his six years, more than I'll learn in my 44 years. | |
| But it's still not the way it was designed for him to be, and there's no doubt about it. | |
| We don't have autism in our family, in her family. | |
| No one's ever faced this challenge before in either one of our families that anyone's known of. | |
| So what happened? | |
| You have to ask questions. | |
| So I'm here because I'm trained as a lawyer to ask questions. | |
| I am trained to follow evidence wherever it leads me, to separate my biases, to separate my perspectives and my own self-interest and look at objective analysis of evidence. | |
| And that's what we're doing. | |
| That's what I've done, even as a daddy. | |
| But of course, as a trained lawyer, that's what I've done as well. | |
| And so all we're asking, and I think Bobby Kennedy and Mr. De Niro and everybody else involved, Del, are asking the press and asking everyone else, the public, to look at science. | |
| We live in this world, this very much soundbite world and rhetoric. | |
| And name-calling. | |
| And if I ran the justice system, the way that this system is run, and this issue of vaccines and safety or not safety of vaccines, I'd be laughed out of court if I just walked in and started calling you names and brought no evidence to back it up. | |
| Just because someone says it's true doesn't mean it's true. | |
| We have to challenge and we have to ask questions. | |
| And that's all we're really advocating today is to ask questions. | |
| So when you started asking questions, what sort of, I guess, pushback did you get maybe from the local media or national media? | |
| Describe that, because that's what a lot... | |
| A lot of parents go through, just mainly with their doctors. | |
| Are you ridiculous? | |
| Are you foolish? | |
| This is settled science. | |
| What does that mean? | |
| That's like a law enforcement agency coming in saying, hey, it's settled. | |
| It is known through law enforcement agencies that your client is guilty. | |
| Really? | |
| Well, give me the proof. | |
| See, due process in our justice system, which everybody's okay with, says that no matter how big the agency, no matter who it is, pointing the finger, give me your proof. | |
| Give me your manner and means. | |
| Give me your specifics of how this citizen that is being accused is guilty. | |
| But not so here. | |
| That's the inconsistency of this world. | |
| That if someone says, hey, this is settled science. | |
| This is okay. | |
| This mercury is safe for infants and women. | |
| Okay, where's the evidence? | |
| Well, it's settled science. | |
| And then they cite these studies that I'm sure you heard Mr. Kennedy talk about, and the 200, well over 200 studies that say mercury, there's no amount, especially the amounts that are given to children now, that are safe. | |
| It is an extremely toxic neurotoxin that damages and affects the brain. | |
| We know that. | |
| And we have hundreds of thousands of other families that have gone through. | |
| If I was one of a thousand, I'd be like, man, Nico, you're one of a thousand. | |
| You're kind of an anomaly. | |
| I'm one of hundreds of thousands. | |
| I mean, I'm 44. I don't know. | |
| You look younger than I am. | |
| But in 1980s, autism was 1 in 10,000. | |
| Forget about all the other ailments that Mr. Kennedy spoke about. | |
| Now it's 1 in 43. And the retort to me is, well, we're just diagnosing it better now. | |
| And I'm okay with that theory. | |
| Let's see if it's backed up by evidence. | |
| Where are the 44 to 49-year-old autistic men walking around here? | |
| You don't miss the characteristics of autism. | |
| Autism is a diagnosis of characteristics. | |
| And if there was one in 43 autistic men walking around that had been missed, you'd see them. | |
| I assure you. | |
| There's not one in 43. There's one in about 10,000. | |
| Because that's what it was back in the 70s and 80s. | |
| And so this begs the question, why? | |
| Why are people afraid to ask questions? | |
| Why are people afraid? | |
| And I look at motives as a lawyer. | |
| I'm trained to do that. | |
| Who's got the motive to kill? | |
| Who's got the motive to lie? | |
| Who's got the motive to do this? | |
| So we look at the motive. | |
| Follow the money train. | |
| Let's look at the evidence that's already available to us. | |
| And let's ask for more. | |
| We just have to do better for our kids. | |
| Let me leave you with this, and I'll keep on answering questions. | |
| Regardless of why you think autism is on the rise. | |
| Let's just shelf that for a second. | |
| Let's be objective. | |
| In 15 years, one in two children will be autistic. | |
| One in two kids will be autistic, and that doesn't bother anybody? | |
| And so forget about the cause. | |
| Who's doing anything about that? | |
| Where's the CDC? Where's the government? | |
| Where's everybody on this? | |
| Forget about ADHD and... | |
| Who heard of a peanut allergy? | |
| I didn't when I was younger. | |
| Juvenile diabetes, behavioral disorders, autoimmune diseases, EpiPens for everything, all kinds of medication. | |
| We're a sick society to include our children. | |
| That wasn't so 30 years ago. | |
| So why aren't we asking the question why? | |
| And if you think it's GMOs, then what are you doing about GMOs? | |
| If you think it's toxins, what are you doing about toxins? | |
| If you think it's... | |
| Pesticides, whatever. | |
| Whatever it is. | |
| And it's probably a synergistic effect of all of them. | |
| But when you look at the correlation of the vaccine schedule and the rate of autism alone, they correlate, right? | |
| And correlation is not causation, right? | |
| Correlation in my world means investigation. | |
| Let's just investigate. | |
| And then if the investigation shows that there is no correlation and no cause, then I'm cool with it. | |
| I will follow evidence and truth wherever it leads me. | |
| And if people aren't for children, truth and safety. | |
| Then they have an agenda, and I want to find out what's pushing that agenda. | |
| Yeah, I like how you brought in those four words in your speech earlier, and we'll cut that into this report. | |
| I'm 42. I have four kids as well. | |
| My last two... | |
| No vaccinations because I felt that it wasn't worth the risk with what they claim these vaccines were. | |
| And one thing I do with any vaccine when a doctor says, oh, we need to give this to them, I say, I need to see the insert. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| And I unfold it and I go through it with a fine-tooth comb. | |
| Where are you going to go from here? | |
| What are your plans to keep talking about this issue? | |
| You know, I have no plans. | |
| I will go wherever. | |
| I'm asked to go. | |
| I didn't ask to be here. | |
| I was asked to be here. | |
| I didn't ask to speak on VAX. They asked me to speak on VAX. So people criticized me and saying, oh, are you using your office? | |
| Look, I don't divorce myself from being the district attorney. | |
| I'm not using the office to speak on this issue, even though it's not unethical and there's nothing inappropriate or legal about it. | |
| I am a daddy and a husband first. | |
| I happen to be the DA in San Antonio, in Bexar County. | |
| But I can't divorce myself from that. | |
| But I do use the same analytical mind. | |
| As a lawyer, just in general, when I was a defense attorney or as a prosecutor, to evaluate evidence. | |
| And that's what I'm doing here. | |
| I'm asking people, let's evaluate evidence objectively and follow where it leads us. | |
| Literally, let's look at this as prosecutors or as defense attorneys, depending on your perspective, but let's look at it as lawyers and follow the evidence where it leads. | |
| And then we will know that we're doing the best for our children because we've got to do better. | |
| Because if you don't think it's the vaccines, it's not the mercury, it's not the lead, the aluminum, all the... | |
| Albumens and all the different medians and the animal tissues and all the other junk in there, okay? | |
| Forget about that. | |
| Let's all shelf all that. | |
| Well, whatever you think it is, because there's an issue. | |
| There's no doubt about there's an issue. | |
| What are we doing about it? | |
| And the answer is nothing. | |
| Now we always have to ask the why. | |
| Why not? | |
| Why do you have this position? | |
| Why aren't you doing something? | |
| Why are you doing this? | |
| Why are you name-calling? | |
| I mean, if I went into court and called you names instead of brought you evidence that you're guilty, I'd be laughed out of court by a jury or by a judge. | |
| But yet in this world, just because you disagree and you're questioning, you're pushing, we're trained. | |
| We should ask government. | |
| We should question things. | |
| You're called a bunch of names. | |
| That's your retort. | |
| You're stupid. | |
| You're this. | |
| You're a joke. | |
| You're going to go against science. | |
| It's settled science. | |
| What science? | |
| It's settled science. | |
| Don't doubt that. | |
| I mean, this is the retort to that? | |
| That's not a professional legal retort. | |
| That would be laughed out by a jury. | |
| That's why I tell people objectively, I could try this case to a jury. | |
| On direct and circumstantial evidence, and I believe I would win. | |
| I have no doubt I would win. | |
| So going with that thought, is there an instance where you see as the district attorney that you would actually bring charges against maybe a doctor or a company that's in San Antonio that has been found to be damaging children with vaccines? | |
| What I do is I don't try to... | |
| I separate myself. | |
| I have very personal opinions about a lot of things. | |
| About child abuse. | |
| People know that if you follow my... | |
| My advocacy and campaign, I think children are a precious gift from God, and we protect children. | |
| I have a very personal opinion about murder because my older brother was murdered in 1996. That doesn't mean that I can't be still fair, and I've shown decisions that can be fair and objective on both of those issues. | |
| This is no different. | |
| I mean, so what I would do is I look at the penal code, the statutes in Texas, I would look at the evidence and match them. | |
| It's either there or it's not. | |
| I mean, I'm not going to make something up. | |
| I'm not going to fit a circle and a square. | |
| I'm going to fit a circle and a circle and a square and a square. | |
| It's just that simple. | |
| And I can separate myself because I'm a truth seeker. | |
| I separate my personal opinions and I look at objective facts and evidence and then I'll proceed accordingly based off morals and ethics. | |
| Alright, where can people find more about your work and I guess get in touch with you if they want to have you come out and speak? | |
| Well, I mean, I have a public Facebook page. | |
| It's Nicholas, Nico, LaHood. | |
| I have a staff member that monitors the private messages, and we'll get back to you, and I'm happy to speak or ask questions. | |
| And I don't run from issues. | |
| Again, I'll have a professional, respectful, cordial, even heated. | |
| It's okay about passion. | |
| Passion's good. | |
| Talk or discussion or debate or whatever, panel, town hall meeting about any issue, not just this. | |
| And then we can agree to disagree if that's okay. | |
| That's what our... | |
| Our country functions that way. | |
| We don't have to agree on every issue. | |
| It's how we disagree that either we hit a wall or we don't. | |
| And so that's my position. | |
| All right. | |
| All right, man. | |
| Thank you for talking with us. | |
| Thanks for your time. | |
| Yep, I'm going to go ahead and end this here. | |
| Hey, this has been Rob DeWitt with InfoWars.com. | |
| We're going to play more of these. | |
| We're going to have the full press conference out today. | |
| Talk about passion. | |
| There were four very impassioned speeches. | |
| I thought Robert De Niro left a little bit on the table. | |
| He just said, I agree with everybody 100%, or with Mr. Kennedy 100%. | |
| So it was great to be a part of this, great to meet all these people, and to see that, you know, like Tommy Muhammad said earlier, Tony Muhammad said, he thinks... | |
| 2017 is going to be the year where people are fully awakened because people like him, other leaders, are getting together. | |
| They're going out. | |
| They're talking to people. | |
| They're playing videos. | |
| They're taking testimonies. | |
| And that's how you're going to see a change. | |
| You're not going to see a change by sitting on the sideline. | |
