It's that the system is designed to make you fail and to pick your pocket.

And you're told that if you just swim a little bit harder, you'll get there.

It's like one of those pools where they have the waves.

And if you stop swimming, it'll just push you back.

But even if you swim hard enough...

You just still can't keep up.

That's what people are experiencing these days.

And at the end of the day, if you're a billionaire or you're a corporation and you can use your money and your wealth and your power to corrupt our whole system, to turn it up higher on everybody and pull and suck more out of them...

That's exactly what they've done.

So if we don't intervene there, it's just going to get harder.

It's just going to get worse.

And I did this eight years ago.

And you can see the difference.

It's like when you see somebody walk under a strobe light and they just sort of teleport.

It's like you saw the poverty and the challenges then.

And then eight years on, it's just worse.

You know, I really appreciate you saying that.

I was raised by my dad, who's an Egyptian immigrant.

My stepmom, Jackie, who's a daughter of the American Revolution from the middle of the state of Michigan.

And my stepfather was Palestinian.
