Well, to my mind, I disagree just slightly. I'll tell you what I think is radical. I think it is radical to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the 1%. I think it is radical to throw children off of SNAP programs. which I think it's radical to cut funding for education and housing and other basic needs. So brothers and sisters, in this pivotal moment in American history, the future of our country and in fact the entire planet depends upon what we do. (35:56–36:03)
