I'D LIKE TO ANNOUNCE SOMETHING THAT WE HERE AT THE
YOUNG TURKS ARE GOING TO ENCOURAGE.
A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE
ESTABLISHMENT AREN'T GOING TO LIKE THIS.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS
DO A PROTEST/RALLY/BLOCK PARTY, LET'S HAVE SOME FUN, AT HILLARY
CLINTON'S HEADQUARTERS ON THE NIGHT OF THE ELECTION.
NOW, SOME
FOLKS WILL FIND THAT UNCOUTH.
NO, WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO
CELEBRATE, IT'S A CORONATION, OH, WONDERFUL, YOU ARE ALSO
SUPER HAPPY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT SUPER HAPPY ABOUT IT, AND I
WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT KIND
OF PROTEST, IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT.
THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE I
HOPE IN THE PROTEST WILL ACTUALLY HAVE VOTED FOR HILLARY.
AND IT'S NOT TO SAY WE DON'T LIKE HILLARY CLINTON, IT'S TO
SAY ONE SIMPLE REQUEST -- NEXT TIME, WE WOULD LIKE FREE AND
FAIR ELECTIONS.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
NO MORE BIG DONOR MONEY.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE BIG DONOR MONEY, WELL, IT'S NOT FREE OF
THE CORRUPTION THAT IS ENDEMIC IN A SYSTEM LIKE THAT, AND IT'S
NOT FAIR BECAUSE ANYBODY CAN RUN -- YOU HAVE TO EITHER BE A
BILLIONAIRE OR MILLIONAIRE, OR KNOW SOME OF THEM.
THAT IS NOT
FREE AND FAIR.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IF HILLARY CLINTON WINS SHE
HAS FOUR YEARS TO FIX THE SYSTEM.
SHE SAYS SHE WILL
PROPOSE AN AMENDMENT TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.
FANTASTIC.
BUT IT'S ONE THING TO PROPOSE IT, IT'S ANOTHER THING
TO FIGHT FOR IT.
YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR IT IF YOU PROMISE THAT
FOR YEARS FROM NOW YOU WILL RUN WITH NO BIG DONOR MONEY EITHER
WAY, NO CORPORATE MONEY, NO SUPER PAC MONEY, NO INDEPENDENT
EXPENDITURE MONEY.
I KNOW HER POSITION NOW IS, I NEED THAT
MONEY.
THEN HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TRUST YOU THAT YOU WILL GET
MONEY OUT OF POLITICS, THAT NEXT TIME AROUND WE WILL HAVE FREE
AND FAIR ELECTIONS?
IF YOU SAY TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, POLITICS
DOESN'T REALLY WORK THAT WAY.
SORRY BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO
TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT.
IF YOU MAKE THAT PROMISE, OKAY, THEN
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO?
YOU GAIN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
CREDIBILITY.
BECAUSE WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO FIGHT HILLARY CLINTON
FOR THE IDEA OF FIGHTING HENRY CLINTON.
WHY?
I DON'T KNOW HER,
IT'S NOT PERSONAL.
WE WANT TO ACHIEVE AN OBJECTIVE, WHICH IS
TO CLEAN UP THE CORRUPTION.
AND I'M NOT EVEN SAYING HILLARY
CLINTON IS THE MOST CORRUPT AND SHE'S TERRIBLE AND SHE'S THIS
AND SHE'S WORSE THAN THE OTHERS -- ALL I'M SAYING IS IF YOU TAKE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CAMPAIGN DONATIONS, WELL, THAT SYSTEM BY
DEFINITION IS CORRUPTED.
SO LET'S FIX THE SYSTEM, IT'S NOT
PERSONAL.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME, SOME OF THEM WILL HAVE
VOTED AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON BUT A LOT OF THEM PROBABLY WILL
HAVE VOTED FOR HER, AND THEY WILL STILL SAY, HEY, NEXT TIME,
FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS.
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
TUESDAY,
NOVEMBER 8, HILLARY CLINTON IS GOING TO BE HEADQUARTERED AT THE
JACOB JAVITS CONVENTION CENTER IN MANHATTAN, YOU CAN LOOK UP
THE ADDRESS, AND IF YOU ARE NOT FROM THE NEW YORK AREA, UP AND
AT 'EM, GET YOUR BUS TICKET, YOUR PLANE TICKETS, OUR OWN
REPORTER JORDAN CHARITON WILL RECORD THE PROTEST/BLOCK PARTY,
AND BY THE WAY, IT CAN BE JOYOUS.
AND I DON'T MEAN JOYOUS
BECAUSE HILLARY CLINTON HAS WON, I JUST MEAN JOYOUS IN THE SENSE
THAT WE ARE FIGHTING TO GET OUR DEMOCRACY BACK, WE CAN BE HAPPY
WARRIORS, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE PERSISTENT.
DON'T MISTAKE OUR
ATTITUDE FOR ONE OF WEAKNESS, BECAUSE I ASSURE YOU, WE ARE NOT
GOING ANYWHERE.
AT THE SAME TIME IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HOSTILE.
WE CAN GO PLAY SONGS FROM BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, LES MISERABLES,
SOMEBODY BRING A BOOMBOX, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO
TAILGATE, WE WOULD DO VIDEOS WITH DIFFERENT PROTESTERS, GET A
SENSE OF WHY THEY WERE MOTIVATED TO COME OUT, REPRESENT THE REAL
AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND THE YOUNG TURKS WILL COVER IT.
NEXT TIME,
FREE AND FAIR.
IF YOU WANT TO GET UPDATES ON WHERE WE ARE
GATHERING, GO TO THIS ADDRESS --
>>THAT IS LOGICAL.
GO THERE AND YOU WILL GET UPDATES.
WE CAN
TEXT YOU WHERE THE PROTEST IS GOING TO BE AS SOON AS THAT IS
DETERMINED, WE CAN DO IT DAY OF, OF TIME, BUT EASIER FOR THE
FOLKS IN THE NEW YORK AREA, THE TRI-STATE AREA, TO GET THERE,
BUT WE WANTED TO TELL YOU AHEAD OF TIME SO IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE
IN THE COUNTRY, COME AND JOIN US.
THIS IS NOT TO TEAR ANYONE
DOWN OR RAIN ON ANYONE'S PARADE, THIS IS TO HAVE A BLOCK PARTY
FOR DEMOCRACY AND CELEBRATE WHAT IS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE IF WE DON'T
START WORKING ON FIXING THE ISSUE TODAY, WHEN ARE WE GOING
TO START?
AS IF YOU WAIT THREE YEARS YOU KNOW WHAT THEY WILL
SAY, IT'S TOO LATE.
WE DON'T HAVE IT FIXED, SO I DON'T WANT
TO GIVE AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE TO THE REPUBLICANS, I HAVE TO GO
GET BIG MONEY TOO.
IF YOU START WORKING ON IT TODAY YOU DON'T
HAVE TO.
IF YOU REALLY MEAN IT AND WANT TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM
AND CLEAN UP THE CORRUPTION AND GET FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS, YOU
HAVE TO START WORKING TODAY.
THAT IS WHAT WE WILL ENCOURAGE
HER TO DO, LET'S ALL GO DO IT TOGETHER.
GO.
