Hear what the other side is actually saying.

❝I support anybody with an R behind their name.

❝I'm not here just to win arguments anymore. I'm not.

❝They've decided to sell out to big corporations so that now federal protections for workplace safety are gone.

❝The master class has always declared the wars. The subject class has always fought the battles.

❝I am not a capitalist soldier. I am a proletarian revolutionist.

❝There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop.

❝And that's when the FBI went into his house and killed him while he was sleeping next to his pregnant wife.

❝The way our current society is designed, it's literally designed to drive a person insane. They expect too much out of us. They expect us to work all of our waking hours for little to no pay. They can treat us however they want. We're not supposed to crash out or talk back. We're just supposed to mainly shut up and take it. And if you have a bad reaction or you eventually get to a point where you've had all you can take, everybody just looks at you like you're some type of a cancer on society.

❝Communism has succeeded in every country. It was tried.

❝They benefit, I mean, we're living in a literacy crisis. We're living in an era where literacy rates in the United States...are on the decline. Where 21% of adults are functionally illiterate, and over half read at or just around a sixth-grade level.

❝But just for our own sake, these corporate tech oligarchs and these algorithmic corporate logics and just the whole rotten system that we live in, they benefit from people who can't critically think...

❝Any system that produces a trillionaire like Elon Musk and produces a president like Donald Trump is by virtue of doing that a system that needs to be fucking dismantled.

❝He is really, I was going to say he's the most incompetent member of the cabinet. Wow.

❝This is the central issue of the midterms. I mean, this is why there is a democratic tide, let’s hope.

❝No, in fact, you know, my prediction is that Trump is not going to fill out the remainder of his term because he's getting demented and old and he's not going to be able to make it. He's also lazy.

❝You won't give me things. I want your banana, right?

❝And then people are like, why are you obsessed with Israel? I don't know, because they run our government.

❝The Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Israeli government.

❝Trump works for Putin. Donald Trump is a Russian asset. I don't, for the life of me, I don't understand why so many people have such a hard fucking time saying that.

❝We will not recover from the first and only fascist in the White House. We will not be able to move on as a country as long as these concrete monuments to fascism stand. They have to fucking come down.

❝For the first time in American history, we have a fascist in the White House.

❝Maria Bartaromo has been fired by Fox News. It is reasonable to speculate that she has been fired personally by Rupert Murdoch. There is a report this evening that Maria Bartaromo outed and snitched on Fox News to Donald Trump, and that was the direct cause of her dismissal.

❝Oliver Darcy of status reports she was fired for revealing to Trump that Fox had ordered that Trump's insane the Chinese stole my election from me speech should not be emphasized nor given credence. She reported to Trump what she was told not to report to Trump. And thus, if she has indeed been fired, it has been for cause and she doesn't get a frickin' nickel.

❝The fun in being in corporate media is getting to decide who are the key hires? And more importantly, and more fun for these guys, who are the key fires.

❝It is an inequality that stems from the property relations, from the fact that one group of people owns assets and the key means of production, and the other one does not. So this means the inequality in bargaining cannot be changed as long as you're in capitalism.

❝Yeah, I think it's an absolutely central question because, as we've said so many times on the show, unions are the lifeblood of the socialist movement, and organizing labor is the one essential precondition for a revitalized left.

❝My view is either the union movement is revived or there is no future for the left. It's a pretty straightforward view.

❝But if President Donald J. Trump is really going to insist on calling Lake Ontario Lake America now, that of course will mean that everybody's mnemonic acronym for remembering the names of the Great Lakes will no longer work, right? If you're going to build yourself a mnemonic for remembering the names of the Donald Trump version of the Great Lakes now, it can't be Holmes anymore because you have to drop the O and instead replace it with an A.

❝Now, the country, the president, is breaking that promise that I made on the country’s behalf. But he’s saying, but I can’t, I can’t break the promise that I made.

❝When a country's government, when a country's president tries to do something shameful, something that dishonors us as a country, the shame honestly accrues to all of us if we don't fight back and we don't say no.

❝The American people will understand something that too often my friends inside the Beltway in Congress and the media don't catch on to. And that is ordinary Americans understand that the current economy is rigged.

❝Well, it's worse now. The inequality is worse now than during the Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan era of the late 19th century.

❝And the truth is that a majority of the American people do not want to continue to provide billions of dollars to the extremist government in Israel. And among the Democrats, that number is off the charts.

❝And Democratic primary voters are like, well, Trump's in the fucking White House. It didn't fucking work.

❝So anyway, I think a lesson for Democratic voters is like when the establishment, when the establishment that has lost to Trump twice is trying to tell you who to vote for based on an electability argument, bullshit. Yeah, electability is like the dumbest word.

❝You know, the thesis of our show, that the way you fight fascism is with a real economic populism that's articulating the villains, the actual villains.

❝If it's so great and so awesome, come out here and talk to these communities whose lives you are turning upside down.

❝We've got to make AI and robotics work for ordinary people, not just to make Elon Musk and Zuckerberg even richer than they are.

❝We did a town meeting at Georgetown. And he told me, he said, look, Senator, AI will sooner or later become smarter than human beings. And it is then likely that human beings will lose control over AI, which could be an existential threat to the planet.

❝So I think that's an inspirational and timely quote, given the new red scare that we’re being subjected to under the fascist Trump, Rubio, Miller regime.

❝10,000 times has the labor movement stumbled and fallen and bruised itself and risen again, been seized by the throat and choked into insensibility...

❝But notwithstanding all of this and all these, it is today the most vital potential power this planet has ever known, and its historic mission of emancipating the workers of the world from the thralldom of the ages is as certain of ultimate realization as the setting of the sun.

❝But it is basically, to put a technical term on it, bigotry that he was selling and that they were liking.

❝Trump has demonstrated that his deals are completely unreliable. He breaks them at the first opportunity.

❝The Trump administration is responsible for the legitimization of political violence in America.

❝And I think to me, I've defined it to you as someone who works to afford their life. I also think no matter how you define it, we have an understanding that those who are struggling to afford their rent, struggling to afford their groceries, struggling to afford their childcare, are the people who should be at the heart of our vision for what comes next.

❝I think that it's part of the corrosion of political and public life. That this is frankly something that I don't even blink at anymore because it’s become in many ways a norm over the last few years. And I also think that Americans are hungry for a very different kind of politics: one where disagreement is a part of it, deportation and demonization is not.

❝I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague. He's a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court.

❝The people, the enemy is a very few, very, very rich oligarchs. Probably a thousand or two thousand of them in the whole world. And they run the whole thing.

❝I could actually, you know, I wrote something down, but I know part of what I, there's one sentence in what I wrote down here was that I thought to myself, if this is an attack by foreign people on the United States of America, will the American people notice that some people are pissed off with American foreign policy and that this is a result of it? And I did think that.

❝And in that visit, and those visits that I made, you know, I decided that I would be vocal and do anything that I could to help my Palestinian brothers and sisters to achieve equal human rights with their Jewish brothers and sisters between the Jordan River and the sea. I'm not asking anyone to kill anyone, right?

❝The only thing that is constant is that business always wins.

❝And so this is a perfect example of where the Green family wants the benefits of corporate personhood, that separation between the entity and the owners for purposes of liability, but wants to collapse that distinction when it comes to something like religious liberty…

❝He points out a pretty glaring fact. The Constitution literally begins with We the People, not We the Corporations.

❝America will be dancing in the streets when Donald Trump dies. They will be. This country will feel a great weight lifted from its soul.

❝And that elephant in the room is that Trump is dying. We heard about this earlier in the week, but I want you to understand something.

❝This is what Trump did to America. It's what Trump did to you guys. He tricked you.

❝And what we see billionaires doing right now, we see oligarchs doing right now is using some of the most dangerous theories known to humanity to ensure that they can continue to hoard wealth and power...

❝It is connected. It is all pointed at November, and I think they’re trying to engineer the outcome of an election.

❝Well, baby, this is the vestiges of slavery. This is just like what happened after the fall, or the collapse of Reconstruction.

❝Well, UNIDOS made some decisions based on our previous experience from 2016 and we were tracking policy that was really showing us that having a large infrastructure with the amount of money that the Department of National Security was getting, like $60 billion, represented an incredibly big challenge to regular community organizing.

❝We will become agents of trust, we will become truth keepers, and we will be the external vehicle for the Truth Council to be successful.

❝We are very aligned with the purpose of creating a formal public record of the experiences of victims and survivors of human rights violations, regardless of immigration or citizenship status.

❝Her daughter had a pointed question that puts Jacoby on the verge of tears.

❝I worry about the consequences of this decision very rarely, and I find that my anxiety about the world is much higher when I am not taking action.

❝I was thinking about the number of times that I had gotten tear gas and pepper sprayed or hit with pepper pellets at anti-ICE protests over the course of the last year, which at this point is probably at least a half dozen times.

❝I think it is uh it is a challenging thing to be to get to that place, like it requires a certain compromise of values.

❝There are now six billionaires who own a majority share of American news media. And one family in particular, headed by Oracle CEO, IDF donor, and AI data center Kingpin Larry Ellison is on the verge of controlling CBS, CNN, HBO, MTV, BET, Nickelodeon, Pluto, and the actual algorithmic infrastructure of TikTok itself, which in itself may be more influential than all those outlets put together.

❝Yeah, media capture is about who actually controls the platforms and the channels that deliver news and information to us. And part of what we're trying to communicate is the that it's increasingly a smaller and smaller number of people.

❝The fact that we reward it over work is crazy to me.

❝It was tax returns of many of our richest Americans paying zero in taxes. And so now it's no longer possible for people to say it's just theoretical, because we know that it's not.

❝It does piss me off that people above me are not paying taxes.

❝Yeah, we're here because elections have consequences, and we re-elected a mayor who wants to invest in the police first and foremost.

❝And so our affordable housing nonprofits have been asked to do something impossible.

❝Um, everybody knows that so many people were trapped in their homes hiding from the federal government.

❝What percentage of the men that that the trade do you think have wives? Well, you know, the marriage rates are falling. Birth rates are falling, and they're blaming it all on us.

❝He was talking so freely about game, and I said, Hassan, you better fuck a man or hush it up. I know that’s what I would agree. And I would say absolutely first in line for that.

❝I will say to finish my point of what I was saying is I do have that fear that someone could do something or disrespect me or try to harm me. But I don't care. I still have to use my voice, even if it means one day that they would try to take my life away from me. We have to use our voice. We have to speak because we cannot allow them to make us feel afraid and to make us feel like we can’t fight for the things that we believe in.

❝Clearly, Trump does not think he's in a good place because he's reaching for the most extreme threat possible.

❝Today, as we're going on the air, we have the news that the US president just threatened what I think can only be described as genocide. He threatened to wipe out an entire civilization.

❝A principeless narcissist and a pathological president will end poorly. It will.

❝Trump is a big son of a bitch, man. I just don't get it. Trump has no decency. He doesn't.

❝Cuba's future belongs to no one but the Cuban people themselves.

❝The entire country is, and it's a total man-made disaster.

❝I'm an old school Democrat. I'm a Dick Kennedy Democrat, Clinton Democrat, Obama Democrat, and I'm tired of these San Francisco values being infiltrated in our city.

❝Far too many of our elected officials are not responding the way they must to the Trump administration. No kings, no war, and no ICE.

❝Because the game, Jason, that they play that we watch is if they have competitive races in a Democratic seat, then that's less resources Democrats can put into a Republican seat. And Democrats just have kind of loaded the board with more competition for Republicans.

❝“He is now accusing Trump of using a wartime crisis to push a project that has been tangled for months in court and before state regulators.”

❝“Trump knew his war with Iran would raise gas prices. Now he wants to illegally resurrect a pipeline shut down by courts and facing criminal charges, and it won't even cut production. This is fascinating. He concluded by saying, I refuse to let Trump's efforts sacrifice Californians, our environment, or our $51 billion coastal economy.”

❝“Californians have repeatedly rejected dangerous drilling off our coast for decades. Now, after dragging the U.S. into a war with Iran and driving up oil prices, the Trump administration is trying to exploit this crisis to further enrich the oil industry at the expense of our communities and our environment.”

❝They had his um uh they had their knee on his neck. I believe his exact words, they tried to George Floyd me, is what he told me.

❝Now the police did the 7th police district, um, and I believe the fifth or the second, it was something like that, where now cops themselves can pull a felony charge on you that can bypass the judges.

❝It's political repression.

❝Absolutely I would say whether or not you've been plugged in, whether or not you have questions, um the point is for us to get together that that this is just a moment, but we have been through many moments in the last decade alone. But what we need to be up to is getting together and staying together to fortify for whatever comes next, and Lord knows what that'll be. We want to get ready so we can stay ready.

❝The reason in which we want to, you know, bring uh as many black people together as possible because we understand uh the moment that we're in in this country. Um we've seen what's been happening in Minneapolis via the federal occupation, um, and we understand that there is a bunch of black people who actually want to uh throw down in this moment, people who want to be a part of both protecting their neighbors, but also holding the federal government accountable um to the work that it's supposed to be doing.

❝Regardless if your ancestors came here as prisoners of war via the transatlantic slave trade, so they came here on a boat or airplane, searching for a better life. All of our liberation is intertwined. Um we have to recognize that in this moment.

❝The most important thing in any crisis is controlling the narrative.

❝What's unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn't quote-unquote protest. It's low-level insurgency infrastructure built by people who've clearly studied the playbook.

❝They're just like, here's some money. Here's a gun. Go over there and kill some people.

❝We mostly only give federal subsidies to a pretty small number of commodity crops rather than promoting more diversified agriculture in our country that would not only lead to more economically sustainable markets, but more environmentally sustainable markets.

❝Our moral obligations are to stop sending military aid to Israel.

❝I 100% support ending the filibuster.

❝I think like ultimately we need to we need to get rid of policing. We need to create other institutions that take care of people that make policing obsolete.

❝Trump made our city and state a proving ground for fascism, destroying lives, killing violence, spreading terror.

❝One of the leader guys locally is this Bavino brown shirt fascist who loves to make himself look like Heinrich Himmler.

❝I was elected as a democratic socialist and I will govern as a democratic socialist. I will not abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical.

❝We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

❝For too long in our city, freedom has belonged only to those who can afford to buy it.

❝We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

❝No longer will City Hall hesitate to use its powers to improve New Yorkers' lives.

❝For too long, we have turned to the private sector for greatness while accepting mediocrity from those who serve the public.

❝Uh, if you don't build houses, people don't live in houses. It's pretty simple, right?

❝We've lost our humanity as a society when we can look at a group of people, and I and I need people that understand this. 60%, according to the federal government, of our people on the streets are disabled.

❝Because there's no, it's not like uh, and you would know this, but it bears fucking repeating. It's not some quality of homelessness as a person.

❝First of all, I just want to start by saying everybody here hates the Democratic Party.

❝We've been told that the most important thing is to just do whatever fulfills you at any given moment. And you're the only person you should think about.

❝New York City could provide trans health care for every trans person in the country who, you know, can't afford it.

❝We've built stadiums and parking ramps with public money. We've given away tax increment financing dollars and left and right to entice development in this moment. We should build a grocery store that feeds our neighbors and pays its own bills too.

❝This is the exact opposite of what the city of Minneapolis needs. They are sending the message that anyone who comes to Minneapolis now has to compete with the government.

❝We want to see what options are ahead of us and how we can leverage every tool we have at the city to make sure our residents have access to fresh produce.

❝So the government acquires land and housing to you know to develop freeways and roads, and also to prevent the working class people, the people of color from becoming homeowners.

❝We're in a moment where Benito's direct action is calling forward all of the harm that is done and that is created when they manufacture homelessness and a housing crisis when we have empty homes that are boarded up, that are owned by the state, bought by, and paid for by our taxes.

❝I will not surrender the house, I will not surrender myself, and I if I need to die as a martyr, I will die to call the attention to all this corruption.
