I HAVE DRAMATIC NEWS FOR YOU GUYS.
IF I HAVE DRAMATIC NEWS I
HAVE TO YELL IT.
WE HAVE NEW NUMBERS FROM JUSTICE DEMOCRATS,
WE RECENTLY PARTNERED UP WITH BRAND NEW CONGRESS, WE WILL
REPORT UNIFIED NUMBERS GOING FORWARD INCLUDING TODAY.
NUMBERS
ARE ALWAYS FUN WHEN THEY ARE GREAT, SO FIRST, HOW MANY
SUPPORTERS DOES THE COMBINED GROUP HAVE NOW?
WILL YOU LOOK AT
THIS -- 217,651 SUPPORTERS.
>>DAMN.
>>THEY SAY THAT STARTING A PARTY ON THE LEFT, IN THIS CASE WITHIN
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO GET ANY TRACTION
ON THAT?
HOW QUICKLY HAVE OTHER WINGS OF THE PARTY GOTTEN OUT TO
THIS KIND OF SUPPORT?
OVER 200,000 PEOPLE THIS QUICKLY --
WE STARTED JUSTICE DEMOCRATS ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
AND A LOT OF
THESE NUMBERS ARE COMING FROM THAT GROUP.
MONEY RAISED, HOLD
-- HOLD -- OVER A MILLION DOLLARS ALREADY.
$1,024,387.
A LOT OF CRITICISM OF GROUPS THAT POP UP THAT ARE
PROGRESSIVE, YOU'LL NEVER GET ENOUGH MONEY.
JUST LIKE THAT,
WE'VE GOT SOME REAL MONEY ON OUR HANDS.
AND YOU KNOW WHY?
IT'S
BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS, IT'S ALL SMALL DONORS BECAUSE BIG DONORS
ARE NOT ALLOWED.
TO ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE CORPORATE MONEY OR PAC
MONEY.
SO THANK YOU GUYS, YOU ARE PUTTING US ON THE MAP,
PUTTING PROGRESSIVES ON THE MAP.
NOW A LOT OF THE REST OF THE
MEDIA, I GOT WORD TODAY EVEN BEFORE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, SAYING
THAT'S REAL.
WE BETTER PAY ATTENTION, BECAUSE THIS WILL GO
TOWARD PRIMARYING ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS WHO ARE
STILL DOING THE CORPORATE AGENDA, AND BEATING REPUBLICANS.
HOW MANY DONORS DO WE HAVE SO FAR?
OVER 41,000, A LOT MORE
PEOPLE HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THE PARTY, BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE
PUTTING THEIR ACTUAL MONEY BEHIND THEIR ACTIONS AS WELL.
BY
THE WAY, JUSTICEDEMOCRATS.COM IS WHERE YOU CAN GO TO DONATE,
TO SIGN UP, AND ALSO TO NOMINATE.
WE ARE GETTING REAL
CITIZENS TO RUN.
DOCTORS, VETERANS, NURSES, TEACHERS, ETC.
IT IS A REAL POPULIST MOVEMENT WITH THE ACTUAL POPULATION.
FROM
TIME TO TIME RARELY WE MIGHT HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS BEEN
INVOLVED IN POLITICS FOR A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, BUT
OVERWHELMINGLY THE MAJORITY ARE REGULAR CITIZENS WHO ARE LEADERS
IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
BUT HOW MANY NOMINATIONS COULD THERE POSSIBLY
BE?
>>FIVE OR SIX MAYBE?
>>8387 PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN NOMINATED.
THIS IS A SERIOUS
GROUP, A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE WORKED ON BERNIE'S
CAMPAIGN, THEY KNOW HOW TO PUT TOGETHER CAMPAIGNS, THERE ARE
FOUR ROUNDS OF VETTING, WE WILL FIND THE BEST CANDIDATES AND RUN
THEM, IT WILL BE PRACTICAL, PRAGMATIC, AND WILL LEAD TO
VICTORIES.
BY THE WAY, 30 NOMINEES HAVE ALREADY GONE
THROUGH THE VETTING PROCESS AND THROUGH CANDIDATE TRAINING.
SO
IF YOU THINK WE ARE NOT COMING, WELL, YOU GOT ANOTHER IDEA
COMING TO YOU.
I BELIEVE WE ARE THE ONES WHO KNOCK.
AND SOON,
CORPORATE DEMOCRATS, WE'LL BE KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR.
FUN TIMES.
>>THIS GETS ME SO EXCITED BECAUSE THESE RACES FOR THE MOST
PART HAVE BEEN SO EXPENSIVE, BUT THEY DON'T NEED TO BE.
WE TALKED
ABOUT THIS DURING THE DNC RACE.
YOU ARE RAISING MONEY FOR
JUSTICE DEMOCRATS FROM SMALL DONORS TO RUN AGAINST THESE
CORPORATE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE RUNNING REALLY EXPENSIVE
CAMPAIGNS, AND I THINK THEY WILL BE SHOCKED WHEN THEY SEE THAT
NOT ONLY ARE THESE REGULAR PEOPLE GOING TO BEAT THEM, THEY
ARE GOING TO BEAT THEM WITH A LOT LESS MONEY AND MORE
EFFECTIVELY.
>>IT IS REALLY LEVERAGING THE CHANGE IN TECHNOLOGY AND
SOCIETY, ESPECIALLY THE INTERNET.
THERE ARE ALL THESE
NEW TOOLS YOU CAN USE TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE AND MAKE YOUR
PLATFORM KNOWN, BUT THE WAY WE USED TO DO THINGS, HOW DID THAT
USE THAT?
BASICALLY DURING THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN, SOMEONE LIKE
OBAMA MAYBE WOULD RAISE A LOT OF MONEY, AND THAT WAS PRETTY
MUCH IT.
THEY SAW IT AS A SOURCE FOR MONEY.
BUT IT CAN BE SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN THAT.
>>PART OF THE REASON I'M WEARING THIS SHIRT IS IN THIS CASE WE
WILL LITERALLY KNOCK ON DOORS.
I CAN GIVE YOU MANY DIFFERENT
EXAMPLES OF HOW THAT HAS WORKED, THE MOST PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT IN
HAWAII TOOK OUT THE MOST CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN IN THE
STATE LEGISLATURE OF HAWAII, HE WAS A TEA PARTY REPUBLICAN IN
HAWAII, IN MAUI, AND HE BEAT HIM.
HE BEAT HIM BY 26 POINTS,
AND HOW DID HE DO THAT?
HE LITERALLY KNOCKED ON EVERY DOOR
IN THAT DISTRICT 3 TIMES.
HE JUST WORKED HARDER.
WHAT NOMI
POINTED OUT IN HER COVERAGE OF THE DNC CHAIR RACE IS A LOT OF
CONSULTANTS TAKE HUGE COMMISSIONS, THE NATIONAL
DEMOCRATIC CONSULTANTS DO, IF YOU RUN EXPENSIVE ADS,
ESPECIALLY TV ADS.
SO THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO DO THE MOST
EFFICIENT THING, THEY ARE LITERALLY INCENTIVIZED -- NOT
BECAUSE THEY ARE BAD PEOPLE -- BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE
INCENTIVIZED TO DO THE MOST INEFFICIENT SPENDING.
THEY WILL
TAKE YOUR DONATIONS AND SPENT A LOT OF IT ON TV, EVEN THOUGH IT
DIDN'T WORK FOR HILLARY CLINTON.
SHE OUTSPENT TRUMP TWO TO ONE,
MAINLY IN TV, IT DIDN'T WORK.
THERE IS THE EFFICIENCY BETWEEN
THE ADS, BUT THE MOST EFFECTIVE THING IS FREE, WHICH IS KNOCKING
ON DOORS.
WE DID THAT -- I SAY WE FROM TIME TO TIME, THIS IS ME
AS A PERSON WHO SUPPORTS JUSTICE DEMOCRATS, ME AS A PERSON WHO
SUPPORTS WOLF PAC, OBVIOUSLY HELPED FOUND BOTH THOSE GROUPS
-- IN THE CASE OF WOLF PAC THEY JUST RAN A RACE IN CONNECTICUT
FOR STATE SENATE RACE, THAT WAS A 36 POINT LEAD THE REPUBLICAN
HAD, THE DISTRICT HAS BEEN REPUBLICAN FOR OVER 100 YEARS,
AND THEY CLOSED IT TO A 10 POINT RACE, MEANING THEY MADE UP,
THERE IT IS AGAIN, 26 POINTS.
THAT WAS JUST IN A FOUR-MONTH
PERIOD.
IN NOVEMBER THE GUY WON BY 36 AND THEY JUST HAD THE
ELECTION AND HE WON BY 10.
THEY CLOSED 26 POINTS.
WHY?
THEY
KNOCKED ON DOORS.
IF YOU WANT TO DONATE TO JUSTICE DEMOCRATS,
THAT'S FINE, DO THAT RIGHT NOW.
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, SIGN UP,
BE PART OF THE PARTY AND VOLUNTEER BECAUSE WITH PEOPLE
POWER WE CAN ACTUALLY WIN.
YES WE DEFINITELY NEED MONEY AS WELL
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT WE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS, WE'VE DONE THIS
IN THESE DIFFERENT GROUPS, IT'S NOT PIE IN THE SKY.
IN THE CASE
OF WOLF PAC THEY HAVE WON ELECTION AFTER ELECTION, STEVE
VALENCOURT WAS BOOTED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, BERNIE CLOSED A 60
POINT LEAD ON HILLARY CLINTON, WITH THE GIANT ADVANTAGES SHE
HAD HE DIDN'T GET OVER THE TOP AND WHEN THE RACE, BUT PEOPLE
ARE UNDERSTATING WHAT AN ENORMOUS COME FROM BEHIND RESULT
THAT WAS FOR BERNIE SANDERS.
HE HAD ALMOST NO NAME RECOGNITION,
SHE HAD ALL OF IT, AND HE CLOSED A 60 POINT LEAD ANYWAY.
WE CAN
DO THIS AND TOGETHER WE WILL DO THIS, AND SHOCK THE WORLD.
