America has had white Joseph Maldonado otherwise known around the world as “Joe Exotic” is America’s choice as an Independent Presidents and a black Candidate for the 2016 Election of President of the United States.

President. Is it ready His is the voice of you, the working class people who built this country. “It is time you the people, have your for America’s favorite rights to be free to do what you want on your own property. It is time the elderly got the social security openly Gay President? they deserve, it is time our vets get the health care the ones on DHS get. It’s time kids get to eat at school. It’s time we take our voice back.”

These words certainly resonate with the voting public. But we are not excerpting from a speech written about Senator Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump. Both men are Presidential candidates, and both are better known. Their faces have dominated the airwaves, and along with Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton, most Americans naturally assume that statements like these would come from a short list of people running to become our next Commander-in-Chief. However, there is another candidate from Oklahoma running for America’s highest office. You may not have have heard or seen any commercials on your nightly news discussing his campaign. Yes, Joseph Maldonado, otherwise known as Joe Exotic, is also running for President of the United States of America. In preparation of this interview, Hollywood Weekly focused our attention on addressing the most controversial issues confronting our nation. We also wanted to address the public’s concerns. The following is our candid interview with the candidate affectionally known as “Joe Exotic.” According to a Facebook post composed by Jennine Roth, “Joe is a wonderful man who has dedicated his life to animals. He takes on abused or tortured animals that have given up on life, and cares for them in a loving, dignified and compassionate manner. He works hard every single day. His place is way better than any zoo.” In America there are two primary political parties. If you are an independent, you have no chance of participating in the final fall 2016 presidential debates, and if you aren’t in the debates you can’t become president. Why can’t an independent stand on the stage with the Democratic and Republican nominees? Because rules set by a commission dominated by the two major parties stand in the way. For the men and women who run for president and vice president of the United States, the national debates are a great rite of passage in the long political campaign. Every four years, tens of millions of Americans watch the nominees make their case to the voters in the final weeks before Election Day. Some voters decide who “wins” each debate; others use the debates as the means to decide for whom to vote. That is why Mr. Maldonado is so deeply concerned

about a rule that was established 15 years ago that serves only the Democratic and Republican nominees and blocks third-party candidates from participating in the presidential debates. Mr. Maldonado feels a rule that has the effect of excluding independents is unfair and harmful to our democracy. “The politicians and the Electoral College pretty much has the say so over who will become President in America. Until they met me… I have a platform that none of the others want to talk about.” It’s well known that Mr. Maldonado cares for over 214 tigers and over 400 other animals located at the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, located in Wynnewood Oklahoma. The first thing on his list is to get rid of Animal Rights Organization’s that want to force their life opinions on other people and stop allowing them to make campaign donations. He also is against lobbyist hired by campaigns to swing votes to force Americans to live by their views and rules. Mr. Maldonado believes it should be considered Domestic Terrorism, when you don’t have the right HOLLYWOOD MONTHLY • 27

to live by your own choice. So if you want to know more about this candidate, stay tuned-in. HW: Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to speak to Hollywood Weekly Magazine. For purposes of this Q & A , may we referred to you as Joe Exotic? JE: Yes, please call me Joe. HW: Joe, as you know, our country and frankly our world needs help. What are your thoughts on how to change this country? JE: There is nearly 1.5 million nonprofits in the United States I can name just 3 that are using this as nothing but a loophole around taxes totaling the sum of over 12 hundred million dollars a year. If we got rid of every one of these except live saving hospitals like Children s hospitals, Shriner’s etc. and lifesaving research centers I could have this country out of debt in 3 years only by making all of these nonprofits pay 8% tax a year instead of getting around paying taxes. Hillary Clinton

“It should be considered Domestic Terrorism, when you don’t have the right to live by your own choice”

foundation is setting on 432 million alone. HW: Our country is a land of immergrants. What is your position on illegal immigrants living in the US? JE: We cannot throw 10 million illegal immigrants out of this country because we do not have 10 million people to fill these jobs. So lets give them a Social Security number, charge each one a fine of lets say $1,000.00 and put that tax money and fine money into a health care account that we will reform called medicare. We then could turn that money into 10 Billion dollars and give everyone in the United States Free health care insurance. And it is as simple as that. Why would we want to spend 30 Billion rounding them up and throwing them out and another 10 Billion keeping them out when for once they could be legal and do something for the people of this country.

HW: When I hear politicians taking about doling out money, I have to ask, where will this money come from? JE: We have way to much being wasted on our military. 300 new tanks never used sitting in the bone yard in Arizona. $10 billion dollars wasted on a hot air balloon that crashed in Pennsylvania. $10 more billion on new camouflage that did not work. It is time to put some sense to this and cut the favors being given for contracts on things we don’t need and don’t use. This wasted money should be used on our veterans that are being left homeless and kicked out of their tents in the middle of snow storms two days before Christmas in Denver Colorado and Phoenix Arizona. If Congress can get paid for the rest of their lives after serving our country the people who give up their lives deserve the same pay.

HW: What are other platforms that you subscribe to that you want to discuss with the American people? JE: Term limits on every politician and Judge in our country. Politicians required to show up for work and

turn in their time. Clean out the politics by making lobbing illegal and accepting donations in the form of campaign donations or political donations to any politician and put a stop to buying votes. It is time the people of this country have a voice, and when any law is introduced that effect the lives, business or otherwise of the people of this country it should be put to a public vote. Right now their vote on who is going to be in office really does not even count. Look at what the Republican party is threatening to do to their very own front runner?

HW: What role does Social Security play in your reform ideas? JE: I am determined that the $2.7 trillion dollars that the current and past politicians took from Social Security is put back and this is partly why we are going to abolish the IRS and just have a flat tax of 8 or 10 %. Its time everyone is treated fair in this country and that money saved and made will put Social Security back. It should be the peoples choice to legalize the sale of Marijuana, without the only people being able to sell it is the rich and who has a monopoly on it. Just the sales tax alone could pay Social Security back and keep it where it belonged and not bad investments by the Government. HW: How to you feel about gun control or laws pertaining to these issues? JE: I am the only candidate you will see with a 357 strapped to my right leg, I believe in the second amendment so much. If you are not a violent felon or a repeat non violent felon you should have the right to carry and protect yourself in this country. When Maldonado “Joe Exotic” filed his papers with the Federal Election Board he never had a clue America would respond like they have. Mailing out over 3000 bumper stickers a week, yard signs and t-shirts America that has heard about him has responded like mad with over 150 million hits on his nightly show website.

I don’t have the millions the rest of them do but I have a live worldwide show Thursdays through Mondays at 6pm cst and this is the main way I get my message out other than the over 160 thousand fans on facebook so far. So give me a shot and listen to someone who wants to unite this country for a change instead of keeping us divided “says” Maldonado. Running for President as an Independent is one of the hardest things Joe Exotic will ever do in his life, however that is not stopping him from giving them a run for their money. Joe believes it’s time the people have a President that lives like they do, in the real world. If you want a bumper sticker, t-shirt or support Joe Exotic for
