>> Yeah Well that's the point That's a

fair point.

fair point

>> But let me ask you this question then

because this this is where I get in my

head about those prescriptions seem a a

charismatic leader making a forceful

case for that would very much appeal to

the American people. But what Democrats

the American people But what Democrats

find themselves in a place is we've shut

down the government to protect subsidies

for an insurance marketplace that

funnels $800 billion a year into the

funnels 800 billion a year into the

pockets of all these insurance

companies. Have Democrats boxed

companies Have Democrats boxed

themselves into a corner fighting for a

system that ultimately to get the thing

that you want that I think the American

people want, they're going to have to

people want they're going to have to

abandon.

abandon

>> Yes. Look, here's where we are right

>> Yes Look here's where we are right

now, and I think it's not been made as

now and I think it's not been made as

clear as it should. If Trump gets away

clear as it should If Trump gets away

with what he wants, we are looking at 15

with what he wants we are looking at 15

million people losing their health

insurance. And according to studies,

>> All right

uh you know and what we need is a very

simple straightforward agenda which says

by the way and this is this is really a

sticky point. You got to finally say to

sticky point You got to finally say to

the oligarchs who have never ever had it

so good. They're making money hand over

so good They're making money hand over

fist. All right. And you got to say to

fist All right And you got to say to

them, sorry guys, a billion dollars is

them sorry guys a billion dollars is

enough. You ain't going to have 200

enough You ain't going to have 200

government as a bull work You know

when the founders design a system and

they talk about checks and balances and

congressional checks and judicial and

executive and the balance all there, I

executive and the balance all there I

don't know that they factored in

corporate power and I don't know that

there's an entity large enough or with

enough leverage

corporate power.

corporate power

movement which takes control of the

future of this country. Let me give you

future of this country Let me give you

one example. Right now we are in the

one example Right now we are in the

millions of workers are going to be

displaced from their jobs.

displaced from their jobs

>> Who is engaging in that discussion to

say, "Hey, Mr. Musk, you can't make the

say Hey Mr Musk you can't make the

decision for the future of humanity. We

decision for the future of humanity We

are going to make the future." And that

are going to make the future And that

is if AI works, it's going to work for

is if AI works it's going to work for

working people, not just billionaires.

these AI uh data farms are going to need

more and more electricity. Absolutely.

more and more electricity Absolutely

And these uh uh uh oligarchs or

these technologies are going to

transform the world. We have got to make

transform the world We have got to make

sure that they work for working people,

sure that they work for working people

not just enrich the people on top. What

not just enrich the people on top What

does that mean? Well, among other

does that mean Well among other

things, if we increase worker

things if we increase worker

productivity, we can lower the work week

productivity we can lower the work week

from 40 hours a week to at least 32

hours a week. All right? But we have in

hours a week All right But we have in

many ways, you know, if if you look at

many ways you know if if you look at

productivity over time, productivity for

productivity over time productivity for

the American worker has shot through the

roof. American workers are unbelievably

roof American workers are unbelievably

productive. That's my point. But wages

productive That's my point But wages

have not.

have not

>> That is the profound point. Over the

>> That is the profound point Over the

last 52 years, with all of the increase

last 52 years with all of the increase

in worker productivity and technology,

in worker productivity and technology

the average American worker, blue collar

the average American worker blue collar

work, earning less today than he did

work earning less today than he did

then. That's insane. Why are you able to

then That's insane Why are you able to

make these cases so easily and talk like

a normal human being and and these other

I mean that's part of the problem in the

Democratic party sometimes you listen to

them and you just you can almost see the

consultant behind their eye going don't

frame it like that talk like a person

you know I I think sadly it gets back to

money again you know if you don't want

to say things that antagonize your

campaign donors

Then you have to wiggle them.

Then you have to wiggle them

>> Trust me, the United States government

>> Trust me the United States government

is always going to be a trough. It It's

is always going to be a trough It It's

just a question of people are always

going to make corporations are always

going to be able to make a huge profit

off of the contracts that come from the

American government. The question is,

American government The question is

can we deliver those contracts with less

corruption? You know, everybody talks

corruption You know everybody talks

about waste, fraud, and abuse as though

about waste fraud and abuse as though

that's only done from people down the

chain, people that get, you know, food

chain people that get you know food

stamps and uh all those things. They

stamps and uh all those things They

don't even look at the real corruption

at the contractor level, at the all the

at the contractor level at the all the

subsidy level.

subsidy level
