Sen. Bernie Sanders

You know, these people on top are very religious people.

Do you know that?

They're very religious people.

Their religion is greed.

They worship at the altar of money.

But the government has leverage.

They've got to use it.

I have another room.

The door is locked.

And there are some very, very serious discussions about what we have to do to prevent this country becoming an authoritarian society.

But, John, the answer is not just within the room of the people currently elected.

What we are seeing all over this country right now are great young people like Mr. Mamdani right here in the city of New York.

And it's not just him.

You're beginning to see good candidates who have the guts to say, I am going to take on the oligarchs.

I am going to stand with the working class.

That is what we have got to develop in this country.
