On Civil Rights:
Never registered to vote before; Democrats "threatened" him
On being a presidential spoiler: "That is a form of racism and white supremacy and white control to say that all Black people need to be Democrat and to assume that me running is me splitting the vote. All of that information is being charged up on
social media platforms by Democrats. And Democrats used to tell me, the same Democrats have threatened me. The reason why this is the first day I registered to vote is because I was scared. I was told that if I voted on Trump my music career would
be over. I was threatened into being in one party. I was threatened as a celebrity into being in one party. I was threatened as a Black man into the Democratic party. And that's what the
Democrats are doing, emotionally, to my people. Threatening them to the point where this white man can tell a Black man if you don't vote for me, you're not Black."

On Crime:
One of my to-do lists is to end police brutality
One of my to-do lists is to end police brutality. The police are people, too. In the George Floyd case, there was a Black guy that went to jail and it was his first day on the force. If it's your first day on the force and this cop with 18 violations
already starts filing out, are you going to jump in front of that person and lose your job that same day? He probably didn't realize that the cop was going to take it that far. I'm one of the few Black people that would speak openly like this.

On Education:
Reinstate the fear and love of God in all schools
Reinstate in God's state, in God's country, the fear and love of God in all schools and organizations and you chill the fear and love of everything else. So that was a plan by the Devil to have our kids committing suicide at an all-time high by removing
God, to have murders in Chicago at an all-time high because the human beings working for the Devil removed God and prayer from the schools. That means more drugs, more murders, more suicide.

On Health Care:
Vaccines are the mark of the beast
On vaccines: "It's so many of our children that are being vaccinated and paralyzed. So when they say the way we're going to fix Covid is with a vaccine, I'm extremely cautious. That's the mark of the beast. They want to put chips inside of us,
they want to do all kinds of things, to make it where we can't cross the gates of heaven. I'm sorry when I say they, the humans that have the Devil inside them. And the sad thing is that we all won't make it to heaven."

On Principles & Values:
God appoints the president
On the 2020 election: "Let's see if the appointing is at 2020 or if it's 2024--because God appoints the president. If I win in 2020 then it was God's appointment. If I win in 2024 then that was God's appointment."
