  1. “Well, one of the greatest stories was of this young woman who Who didn't go to the march last year, but she watched it and then listened to her representative speak. And he joked, gee, I hope the women's march ends early enough so that the women can go home and cook dinner for their husbands. And it pissed her off so much, she ran. And she won. And the idea that...”

  2. “You know what? I have no message for him. I have messages for the people around him. Change is coming Change is coming, and it's not coming Because it's even ideological. It's coming because you're endangering. You're allowing things that endanger our children, our country, our air. That's why the change has come”

  4. “Yeah. And listen, he knows that everything he said is what they love. Now this idea that none of his base has environmental cancer, that none of his base has mixed children, that his base, he feels is one group. But see, to me, when you start talking about Changing things in the environment. You know, we've spent 30, 40 years cleaning stuff out of our rivers and cleaning out of the air and cleaning out of it. And no one in his group is saying, hey, maybe we want to be a little bit careful with this clean water thing. Maybe we want to really be cognizant of this because I remember that when These weren't clean places. Children were dying.”

  5. “What you want to do, and you would think in all these NFL teams where they have men of color. They got men of color. Ask them. You haven't been stopped before they recognized you? Yeah. Have you been treated? So I thought that people would recognize that this was the most respectful way to do this. This is part of your right as an American citizen. Instead, people like, well, how dare they do this? Listen, nobody owns these guys. These guys work their tails off. And when they get a bad need, they're done. So this kid, to me, I had nothing but respect for him because it's hard to stand and In the wind”

  6. “Does he inflame them? He's most definitely inflamed them. I mean, realistically, I grew up under, you know, a lot of, or grew up in a country where folks couldn't vote. The mid 60s. So we knew that people in office didn't always have us in mind when they were making decisions. However, the belief was that we could fight for the right to be seen and heard as Americans. Now I understand when somebody says, I don't think this represents me. And here's why. I'm not doing a work stoppage. I'm not being disrespectful. I'm kneeling. My back is not to the flag. I'm kneeling begging to be recognized. Instead, we have somebody said, well, that's disrespect in our, it's not disrespected. Let's not forget that we had a segregated armed forces where thousands of soldiers came home after World War II and couldn't vote. Let's not forget those conversations.”

  7. “No, that's his base. That's his base. When he keeps harping on the flag-to-flag to flag the flag, it's because he doesn't somehow realize that Our ability to say this is not right. However, we do it is our right to do that. That's a right. You can't take that.”

  8. “Oh, you know what? I think a lot of it was based in race because remember, I know you remember, but when Obama won, a poster came out of Washington, out of somebody's office, and it was all the president's pictures. And then you get to Obama and they got big red lips and a very stereotyped kind of groove. And you had some of those talk radio people asking questions like, doesn't he remind you of Curious George? You know, all of those little things that I remember hearing. Reminded me that, you know, that group that never got over the fact that slavery was abolished is still out there. It's still out there.”

  9. “Well, I think on Hillary's end, I mean, when you see, just after they left office, you didn't hear much about Bill, but everybody had something to say about Hillary. Everybody, and none of it kind. None of it nice. Women were not nice to Hillary. They were very because I think. We were sort of entering that place where everybody has something to say about what went on. But you don't like that she stayed with her husband. But that's their relationship. That's their relationship. You don't like how she handled this. You know, okay. But you're telling me that you don't believe that this woman knows what she's doing and how to be part of politics? It makes no sense to me.”

  10. “Because there wasn't, and I don't know if I can say that, but in my opinion, there wasn't a Kahone in that group. You know, they all let him walk all over.”

  11. “Yeah. You know, listen, you may not like her. You may disagree with her politics. But you cannot Try someone over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over looking for stuff. You can't put them on television and ask question after question after question after question after question and blame everything on her and still come up with no information. Without saying, hey, maybe there's nothing there. The fact that they tried to beat a dead horse is insane. I thought that if Jeb Bush had turned around to Donald Trump as soon as Wolf Blitzer said, welcome, this is the first national debate, Jeb Butcher said, hold on, Wolf. What did you say about my wife? What did you say about my sons? Because you know my family, my wife is Mexican, my sons are part. What did you say? And when he didn't check him I knew it was done.”

  12. “It's very, it is rare. So I knew it was going to be somebody, but I knew it wasn't going to be Hillary. Just because of the way people were treating Hillary, I knew that wasn't going to happen.”

  13. “See, I don't know. I've, look, I knew that a Democrat was not going to win. I knew that because history tells us that there has not been a two-term Democrat and then a newly elected Democrat.”

  14. “For me, I watch people maneuvering and I think, well, you know you're lying. Now there are, you know, there's a whole network that is dedicated to making sure that the lies float. Like, you know, we were in such terrible shape for the last eight years. Well, I actually was alive for the eight years before that. But somehow people allowed themselves to be convinced that they were worse off under Obama than they were under Bush.”

  15. “But that doesn't work because then it just becomes the same crap over and over and over. That's why for me. Folks who are up, whoever, even folks who are leaving, I just want people in who remember what the promise of America is, not was, but is because you don't want to obstruct, but you must curtail. You know, when you have one group who's saying, well, we looked at this and this is what it says and you're not showing people the information, you know, you have a memo that you keep waving around. But you know what? If you don't have anything to worry about, show everybody the memo. Show everybody and have the discussion.”

  16. “Grew up in New York Jacob Jav That's right Liberal Republicans. That's not good because listen, sometimes you have to make that change, make that balance. And it's a constant shift because the greatest thing is that no one's ever 100% happy. But we make it work and we make it better. When I heard Mitch McConnell say when Obama was elected, I'm not going to do anything, anything to help this president get where he needs to go. To me, that was a big FU to the United States because he wasn't the president of black people. He wasn't the president of the liberals. He was the president of everybody.”

  17. “Well, you know, but that's always been the worry for the politicians. Somebody's going to come after my job. Maybe I ought to do it better. The idea that you cannot Have a moderate Republican and a moderate Democrat. It's unconscionable to me because I grew up with moderate symbols. That's why you could always have conversations with people. Yeah, we're talking earlier.”

  18. “I think, yes, I think he was prepared to win. I think he thought he was going to come and say, change that, do this, do that. I don't think he had a big concept of how the government actually works and checks and balances and stuff. But, you know, maybe he's catching up. I don't know. But I am not as concerned about him as I am concerned about the people we're about to lose. You know, the moderates on the other end on the Republican side. Because I believe that moderates can help get stuff done. We hadn't seen, we haven't seen very many of them. They hide out now, you know, because they...”

  19. “Yeah, yeah. I mean You know, when you know that there are all these kids whose lives are in the balance because they just need to know what am I doing? The DACA kids, and you know This is scary for them and scary for little kids who sort of have heard about it. Am I going to come home and find mommy or daddy gone? When you know... That this pressure is what you're putting on children, this anxiousness, and you don't take a minute to say, listen. Let's do a state of the conversation for the children, since I'm the reason you're anxious. But you haven't done that, you know, because it wasn't about, I think, becoming the president. It was about winning. He wanted to win and he won however he could.”

  20. “It's sort of more than that. I think it's an inherent belief that there are inferior people to him. And it would not surprise me because, you know, you listen to some of the things that they talk about as dad and what his dad did and how he himself is sort of treated people of color. And so you can say he's the least racist person, but then you might want to start working on that part. You know, you keep saying you're not racist, and then you do racist stuff. And then you hear racist things and you don't say, hey, that's not how we talk here. So for me, he has a lot of issues, but I always said he had issues because you can't surround yourself with the people you surrounded yourself with when you become the guy that's running stuff and have people say, oh no, he's really into people collar.”

  21. “Because I know he went to school and I know he knows that Hawaii was part of the United States. And I know that the real bottom line of that conversation was how can he be our president? Look at his name. Look at him. And it's like, listen, man. He won just like you want, everybody's got to deal with it. But he wasn't content to just let that be.”

  22. “Cordial? You know, because, you know, you don't want to just walk up to somebody screaming their face, but, you know, I saw what he did to the Central Park Five, you know, and it bothered me deeply.”

  23. “No, you know, look, I I don't know when that all came up in his head, but he's, you know, he's been a fixture in New York. I've had issues, not personal issues with him, but I don't.”
