Shuler: These struggles didn’t start with Trump. They started with a system that has left people behind for a long time now. A system that has gutted labor rights over the past 40 years—and, not coincidentally, saw income inequality rise to its highest level ever. FDR once reminded us... show more

Trump on Venezuela: We have had a great relationship with the people that are currently -- they say the interim president and everyone else…That was a great country 20 years ago and then it went bad because it had the wrong system, a bad system. That system can make good people bad people or incompetent people.

DelBene: They’re scared they can’t keep a majority in the House because they’re not standing up for the issues the American people care about. You didn’t hear a single person in any of those videos talk about what the people of Texas want, what the people of Indiana want. This is all about taking orders from Donald Trump. And we should be making sure that voters get to pick their representatives—not politicians picking their voters. They know they can’t win, so they’re trying to rig the system.

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care. So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.

People can’t afford housing, health care, or to send their kids to college — and they can’t get by on one job. They’re understandably upset because the system is rigged in favor of the rich & powerful. It’s time to show poor & working people that we’re actually working FOR them.

Hinojosa: What I wish the press would cover, and what I wish people understood, is that it’s all about corruption. At least in Texas, we’re paying into a system that is working against us. The legislation I see getting passed in the Texas House—the only legislation we get to vote on that comes before us—is pushed by moneyed interests. That is corrupt. It’s the reason why people are turned off by government. It’s the reason why people are turned off by capitalism, because they’re experiencing the crony capitalism that we have in this country, and in Texas in a big way. Texas has become a pay-to-play state, and as a result, we have skyrocketing property taxes, yet we have over 150 whole school districts operating on a four-day week because they can’t afford to operate five days a week. Whole school districts. We have over 150 schools shutting down. We have the highest uninsured rate in Texas—the most uninsured children in the country. We have the most people being disconnected from their electricity because they can’t afford to pay their bills. I mean, the list goes on and on. That is Greg Abbott’s record. That’s why the polling shows people want change. They know Greg Abbott. They know he’s been there 12 years, and they will not elect him to another four. That’s the opportunity we have in this election.

Brown: In a state of 12 million people, half a million are going to lose their insurance. And these are mostly working families whose employers don’t provide insurance — or kids, or seniors, or disabled people. Those are the people losing their health insurance. People didn’t vote for that. They didn’t vote for drug prices to go up. They didn’t vote for higher grocery bills. They didn’t vote for veterans’ benefits being slashed. They didn’t vote for any of this. And whatever their allegiance to the president is — it doesn’t matter in that sense. What matters is they know this rigged system has gotten worse, especially over the last eight months. It’s why I’m back in the arena making this fight — because there’s nobody speaking up for Ohio workers in the United States Senate.

Mockler: Young people are having trouble accumulating capital in the form of housing or in the form of investing. And due to that, you see a lot of younger people turning against the system. We're not loyal to a system that hasn't been loyal to us.

Maya speaks on the struggles people in America face when they can’t afford healthcare “They’re not educated on how to take care of their bodies. They end up in situations where they have to pay out of pocket for something they can’t afford.. and then they’re left in debt. It’s insane.”

We are organizing to represent millions of people in the US who feel left out of the political system. They are having to work longer hours or multiple jobs to make ends meet. People can’t afford rent or groceries. The billionaires are getting richer. That’s who we are organizing.

Cross: There is a deal on the table right now that Republicans can accept. They won't do that because they don't want to extend one year of subsidies to make sure that people have affordable health care. So you're going to have people who are deciding, do I spend $500 to go to a doctor, or do I buy groceries? And those same people are the people you guys are saying are living in a safety jacuzzi. And some of these people are your voters. More than half the people in the marketplace live in Republican congressional districts. A part of me feels like you're getting the government you voted for, but the human in me can see the humanity in these people, more so than I've seen other people be able to extend and say they don't deserve to be without health care.

Casar: On a roll? What I know is that when the ultra-rich and special interests were on a roll in the 1920s and started controlling the government, they crashed the economy and caused the Great Depression. When the ultra-rich and big banks were controlling the government, they were “on a roll” and caused the Great Recession in 2008. We’ve got to stop that roll—we can’t let them do something like that again. The only cure, the only solution to oligarchy, is the actual power of working people. The only solution to wannabe autocrats is more democracy. So we need more and more people to show up and speak out against Trump and Musk’s abuses. And when people speak out, we start to recognize that we actually still do live in a democracy, where we can have a real check and balance on these billionaires..

Lloyd Blankfein: The answer has to be for, to a progressive tax system than we have today. Give more people for free the necessities of life, like childcare, healthcare, other things that rich people can afford The economic system that we have has done a great job creating wealth. It's created wealth by increasing the value of assets, so people with assets have gotten a lot richer.

AWARENESS AND THE SYSTEM Yoko: The public believes that there's somebody up there who's very powerful because they're rich and they control the media etcetera. And they think, 'Oh, we don't have the control so we can't do it.' And we have this negativism all the time. But that's not what it is at all. They're not powerful because they're rich and they control the media. They're powerful, sadly enough because they are 'aware' and they're trying to keep other people ignorant. If our awareness level gets to the same level as they are, we outnumber them. So there's nothing they can do. John: Who is 'they'? Well, whoever 'they' are - That kept the workers uneducated. That sent children down in the mines in the Industrial Revolution in England. Who tried not to educate people. We're all part of a system, in a way, and 'they' includes us, too. #powertothepeople

Murray: In fact, the Republicans, as we all remember, spent some time this summer making sure they extended tax credits and other benefits for billionaires, but they failed to extend the tax credit for people on the ACA. What that means right now, as we come to the end of the year, is that literally hundreds of thousands of people are going to go on the exchanges in their state to choose what health care they want for next year—and all of them are going to see a giant increase in their costs. I talked to one family that’s paying about $300 a month right now for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to, I believe, over $1,800 per month. Can you imagine what’s going to happen when people go online and see they’ll have to pay exorbitant amounts for their health care? They won’t be able to afford it. Many of them will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. And as we know from the old Obamacare discussions, the fewer people who have insurance under our current system, the more everybody pays.

Kamala Harris: We cannot despair. We cannot despair. The nature of a democracy is such that I think there's a duality. On the one hand, there's an incredible strength when our democracy is intact. An incredible strength in what it does to protect the freedoms and rights of its people. Oh, there's great strength in that. And it is very fragile. It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it. And so that's the moment we're in. And I say do not despair because in a democracy, as long as we can keep it, in our democracy the people, every individual has the power to make a decision about what this will be. And so let's not feel powerless. Because then we have been defeated. And that's not our character as the American people. We are not one to be defeated. We rise to a moment and we stand on broad shoulders of people who have fought this fight before for our country. And in many ways let us look at the challenge then that we are being presented and not be overwhelmed by it. The baton is now in our hands, to fight for, not against, but for this country we love.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling. But then they go out to their press conferences, where we can’t fact-check them in real time, and keep trying to spout that lie. The American people aren’t buying it.
