LaKouche reiterated Thurdsay his insistence that he has no income and depends on “generous friends that I have.”

“I’ve lived an austere life like a monk,” LaRouche said.

Asked how he funds his extensive worldwide travels, LaRouche replied, “It’s taken care of. Normally they just say you’ve got a ticket, will you accept the trip? I go. If I say yes I’ll go, they’ll say okay, here’s your airline, get off of the plane, get on the plane and I go.”

He didn’t say who “they” are, but he added:

“Oh, it’s a very eerie kind of life. I’ve been living this way for about a dozen years or so. And at worst, it really gets to you, the security environment, it gets to you. At worst it’s like being in prison. But after a while, you get used to it. You learn to live with it.”

LaRouche also vowed to never drop out of the presidential race.

“I’m an old fighter, you know, and the more challenge I have, the better I work,” LaRouche said, laughing. But he added, “There’s no denying the charges are damaging.”

Asked how he would pay for his 1988 campaign, LaRouche replied, “I believe in providence.”

The money would come “from contributors, from just ordinary people. We have a fairly good following, we have an active following of 40,000 to 50,000 people throughout the United States.”

“After Iowa and New Hampshire (the leadoff presidential caucuses and primary, next February) is when any significant amount of money will be advanced toward my campaign,” LaRouche said. ‘Two or three million (dollars) will carry me all the way to the convention.”
