Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

I know you do, but I want to talk about... I know. No, I want to, you know, sometimes these issues... about health care, about income and wealth inequality are not talked about in the corporate media. And it's time that we did talk about them. That's why the question a moment ago, why are people losing faith in the American system? We don't talk about it on CNN. We don't talk about it in Congress.

I think many people are saying, wow, that's outrageous. I really feel for these federal employees thrown out on the street. But I want you to think about this. If Musk can do this to federal employees, some of whom are in unions, some of whom have worked for years, what do you think he's going to be doing when artificial intelligence and robotics comes for your job. Guess what?

The job you have today ain't going to be here in 10 or 15 years. And you think Musk and his friends are saying, oh my goodness, how do we protect American workers from the explosion in technology that we're seeing? They don't give a damn about you. If this is what they could do to federal employees, think about what they could do to people in the private sector. So bottom line there,

So when I'm running around the country with Alexandria and other people, what we are trying to do is demand that working class people begin to stand up and fight for their rights. There is no reason we should be the only major country not to have health care, not to have paid family and medical leave, etc., etc. Why we have the highest rate of childhood poverty almost any major country.

22% of our seniors living on $15,000 a year. Anybody here think that makes sense? All right, it doesn't. But you gotta get CNN to talk about these issues. You gotta get your members of Congress to talk about these issues.
