Unity government: criticize on some issue; but work together
Q: How did you get from criticizing Trump to endorsing Trump?KENNEDY: President Trump had been reaching out to me. The broad issues that were most important to me--the ones that brought me into the campaign--ending the Ukraine war, ending the
censorship and protecting children's health--those are all things that President Trump also wanted to work on, and he invited me to form a unity government. We agreed that we'd be able to continue to criticize each other on issues on which we
don't agree. We need in this country to reach a point where we love our children more than we hate each other.
Q: Have you all negotiated over or talked about a cabinet position?
KENNEDY: No, there's no commitments. We just made a
general commitment that we were going to work together.
Q: There were reports a couple weeks that there had been outreach to the Harris camp as well?
KENNEDY: I reached out to them on the same basis that I reached out to President Trump.

We will protect wild lands from further development
We will protect wild lands from further development, by curbing mining, logging, oil drilling, and suburban sprawl. We will become a global advocate for rainforest preservation and marine restoration.
We will rethink development policies that promised economic growth while ignoring ecological sustainability, and ended up delivering neither.

Roll back the secrecy and make government transparent
We are going to remake public institutions to serve the public. We will roll back the secrecy and make government transparent. We will protect whistleblowers and prosecute officials who abuse the public trust. We will rein in lobbyists and shut the
revolving door that shunts people from government agencies to positions in companies they were supposed to regulate. We will get money out of politics. We will open our institutions to real citizen involvement. We will restore integrity to government.

Criticizes anti-cryptocurrency policies under Biden
Kennedy has voiced his criticism for the anti-crypto policies adopted by regulators and federal agencies under the Biden administration. Kennedy took to Twitter to criticize the recent actions taken by the current government."Cryptocurrencies,
led by Bitcoin, along with other crypto technologies are a major innovation engine. It is a mistake for the U.S. government to hobble the industry and drive innovation elsewhere. Biden's proposed 30% tax on cryptocurrency mining is a bad idea."
