“I want to hold open the possibility that I become president of the United States. I think that if you are running for president, the only way you can do so in integrity with yourself and integrity with your supporters and particularly financial supporters is to go for it without equivocation. And I also believe that when you are running for president, people are seeing Not only what your policies are, but what kind of person you are and what kind of president lets something like a DNC debate stop her.”

“Well, I think that they can block accounts that they absolutely know are there for nefarious purposes that are paid for and run by foreign entities that do not wish us well who are trying to sow chaos. They have so much more ability to know that, to track that, and to stop that than they are exercising. Would you throw dollar?”

And what she said in the book was, I should have turned around and said, back off, you creep. I don't think that would have been my strategy. It would have been, excuse me, excuse me, sir, could I have the space between us that's more courteous, please? Here, sorry. Really? I would have said back off.”

“But Martin Luther King said, Your life begins to end on the day you stop talking about things that matter. I'm talking about things that I believe matter. I'm talking about traumatized children. I'm talking about waging peace, declaring peace, not just giving in to the military-industrial complex, which dominates our national security agenda in such a dangerous way. I'm talking about a deep conversation regarding race, regarding racial reconciliation in this country. I'm having a conversation that goes deeper. Somebody said to me about the second debate, you are out of your depth. No, I wasn't. I'm the only one having one other campaign that's having this level of depth. So, you know, in terms of the conversation that we're going into, the inquiry that we're having. So there's value here. If the people of the United States want to take it further, that's their business. That's what democracy is. My job is to make sure that to the best of my ability.”

“I ran for Congress. And when I did not succeed at that, although, you know, Ray Dalio says if you fail, fail well. And I like to think I failed well. And he was talking about being an entrepreneur. He was talking about if you're going to live a meaningful life, this was in his book Principles, you know. He said, if you're going to live a meaningful life, there's more of a risk you're going to fail. But if you fail, fail well. I think the only real failure is what you fail to learn from. But when I finish that experience, I certainly did not expect to be running for office again. I thought I had scratched that itch. That was that. So now here I am. And I feel every day like I'm where I belong. Some days are harder, some hours are harder. It's brutal and it's also exhilarating.”

“Einstein, Albert Einstein said time and space are illusions of consciousness. But he was a scientist. So when someone says within a theological construct that there is a greater world than the three dimensions, it's not like we don't get the gravity. Is true or that you don't go to the doctor. There's almost this suggestion that those of us who believe in a higher power or a more expanded sense of things are less intelligent. We don't understand. We're less sophisticated. The opposite is true. When you have a greater sense of the multidimensionality of life itself, it is a more sophisticated and a less. Well, you know, some people tech people think.”

“I was the most Google person on my debate night, every state except for Montana, which I find so funny because what they didn't know their governor was, I just think that's so funny. And clearly it started three days later. It was clearly well designed, well strategized, clear talking points, anti-Vax, anti-medicine, which is preposterous. I'm Jewish, I go to the doctor, anti-science preposterous, even anti-vax. I never said anything anti-vax. The conversation I spoke into, and I think I made a sloppy comment, but the comment I made had to do with the question of mandatory, which is of exemptions. It's a nuanced conversation that I think intelligent people are having. Then there was what I'm dangerous. I'm crazy, and I'm a grifter. The talking points could not have been more clear. So my own personal feeling is that after the second debate, somebody must have done an internal poll.”

“And except for the black churches where progressive politics and the Church have never separated, there has been too much of a disengagement, a separation between, I believe, between religious voices and political voices. And not that people don't care. You know, I always say Republicans don't walk their talk, but Democrats don't talk their walk. It's not like we don't have values. We're the ones with a more egalitarian policies. But this aversion over the last few decades to languaging that. And I think that that has been to the political detriment. Well, I think that that has been a big trumpet.”

“Extremely important. But it's also important to remember that the founders by doing that were not seeking to suppress the religious or spiritual conversation. They were seeking to liberate it. They were seeking to protect it. So there's nothing about separation of church and state, which means we shouldn't be talking about morals, ethics, or the truth of the heart. Now, traditionally in this country, the left focused on issues of public morality and the right focused on issues of private morality. But over the last few decades, in a way, that's very different from what I was growing up. Because during the Vietnam War, for instance, the Barracken brothers, Wiems Long Coffin, when I was growing up, there was a vital religious left.”

“The separation of church and state in this country is a very enlightened and extremely important part of our constitutional freedoms. It is the freedom to believe as you wish, and if you wish. So religious freedom is also very important in this country because it protects the non-believer as well as the variety of believers. So what separation of church and state means is no minister, priest, rabbi, mufti, monk is going to walk into the hall of Congress, rip up a bill, or put another one down, like think the ayatollah, right? That's not going to happen here. It also means you could have a church, a synagogue, a mosque, an AA meeting, a Course in Miracles meeting, or a young atheist meeting, and no policeman's going to come in and say, break it up. Right.”

“Whereas spirituality is simply a path of the heart. There's no dogma. There's no doctrine we really should try to love each other and not judge each other and give each other a break and forgive you and have some mercy and own it if I've made a mistake and I'm sorry. And yeah, and I forgive you and okay and let's assume the best about each other. It's unfiltered. We don't need an obstruction to that. This is that place.”
