Your only chance to evacuate is to leave with us.

He said, survive after spoils of empire.
► 00:00:50
All right, we don't want to talk to fascists.
► 00:00:53
We don't want to talk to fascists.
► 00:00:55
Okay, Bernie Sanders is not going to be able to do it.
► 00:00:58
Can I get your opinion on them?
► 00:00:59
What do you think about these people?
► 00:01:01
I think that this is our fight.
► 00:01:03
I think that we found it.
► 00:01:04
We've been here for 16 years.
► 00:01:07
How are we fascists?
► 00:01:07
I'm a 25-year-old guy who graduated with a biology degree.
► 00:01:10
What does that even mean?
► 00:01:11
This is a fascist station.
► 00:01:12
Anyways, I'm not sure.
► 00:01:13
It's not a fascist.
► 00:01:15
Wait, can I ask you what that means?
► 00:01:16
We've been here.
► 00:01:17
We love this university.
► 00:01:19
I'm a social worker.
► 00:01:20
I've been a social worker 39 years.
► 00:01:23
I haven't gotten a raise.
► 00:01:25
I can't get equity.
► 00:01:26
And my pension's in trouble.
► 00:01:29
That's what it means.
► 00:01:30
I don't know who they are.
► 00:01:32
I don't care.
► 00:01:33
I care about UCLA, and our patients.
► 00:01:36
The Pfizer Corporation, on paying Sam Fam Sharers.
► 00:01:51
Welcome to beautiful Los Angeles, California.
► 00:01:53
We are at the UCLA Teacher Strike supported by Bernie Sanders.
► 00:01:57
And we are here to talk to people about what it is that they think matters in this country.
► 00:02:01
Behind me, you'll see the natural landscape and habitat that we call home.

What's up, man?
► 00:02:12
What do you think about this?
► 00:02:13
Does it concern you at all that Bernie Sanders wasn't really able to get out of the shower, but he wants to run for president?
► 00:02:21
Dude, good.
► 00:02:23
Even he has Alexa DeAndre Cortez complaining about he can't even do her laundry because it takes so much time to run the campaign.
► 00:02:32
That sounds pretty normal.
► 00:02:34
I've never split my head open when exiting the shower.
► 00:02:37
Bernie Sanders cut his head in the shower.
► 00:02:40
It's an old guy.
► 00:02:42
Are you concerned at all for his safety?
► 00:02:44
His safety?
► 00:02:45
Oh, he is old, so I don't know.
► 00:02:47
Maybe natural death is coming soon.
► 00:02:48
I don't know.
► 00:02:49
I never heard about it.
► 00:02:50
I suppose it's concerning that he might have health issues.
► 00:02:53
Yeah, that's potentially concerning.
► 00:02:55
You know what I mean?
► 00:02:56
I know, I fell out of the shower.
► 00:02:58
It kind of really hurt really bad.
► 00:03:01
Sorry, when did this happen?
► 00:03:03
Because like this little ledge thing on the shower, it's really annoying that you trip on it and wrestle your toe and just fall down.
► 00:03:11
I did fall out when I was a child.
► 00:03:14
Awesome.
► 00:03:14
Amen.
► 00:03:15
Stay safe out there, okay?
► 00:03:17
In my opinion, I think younger people should be running, you know?
► 00:03:21
Because I think younger people know the struggles of these times.
► 00:03:25
Well, old-timers want to keep old-time stuff, you know what I mean?
► 00:03:30
That's my opinion.
► 00:03:32
Yeah, he's getting old.
► 00:03:34
You know, that's my opinion.
► 00:03:37
I don't support him.
► 00:03:38
You're not concerned?
► 00:03:40
Why should I be?
► 00:03:40
Is he concerned about me?
► 00:03:42
That's what he says.
► 00:03:43
That's what he says.
► 00:03:45
He's been a senator for 45 years.
► 00:03:46
What has he done?
► 00:03:48
Not really anything.
► 00:03:50
So you think I could trust that guy?
► 00:03:52
I would never trust this guy.
► 00:03:53
Me neither.
► 00:03:55
I'm with you then.
► 00:03:57
on that one.
► 00:03:59
I think he actually made eye contact with our sign.
► 00:04:15
We have the largest sign in the in the march literally with the longest.
► 00:04:18
You guys came here just to be annoying.
► 00:04:21
No we didn't.
► 00:04:21
Yeah you didn't talk to anyone right here.
► 00:04:23
I think you talked to us first.
► 00:04:25
We're just doing this just to be f ⁇ ing annoying that everyone knows that.
► 00:04:28
Who's everyone?
► 00:04:29
A lot of people like our sign, a ton of people.
► 00:04:31
Everyone dude.
► 00:04:31
Everyone knows that you're an annoying piece of shit.
► 00:04:33
Oh, we're actually just asking people, hey, let go of my sign right now or I'm going to call the police.
► 00:04:39
Let go of my sign.
► 00:04:43
You have no touch my property.
► 00:04:45
Let go of my sign.
► 00:04:47
Let go of it.
► 00:04:48
This is a peaceful rally, man.
► 00:04:49
Why are you?
► 00:04:50
I didn't.
► 00:04:50
Why are you doing?
► 00:04:52
You're right.
► 00:04:52
I'm sorry.
► 00:04:53
Yeah, I forgive you.
► 00:04:54
Thank you.
► 00:05:02
It's not a good look.
► 00:05:03
I forgive you.
► 00:05:06
Explain that.
► 00:05:07
I don't know.
► 00:05:07
Oh, he cracked his head coming out of the shower.
► 00:05:10
And we're just saying, hey, like, people talk about everyone's health issues, but why aren't we talk about some things about Bernie as well?
► 00:05:17
I feel like he gets unfair privilege.
► 00:05:18
I think that he bumped his head is what you're saying we should talk about.
► 00:05:21
Well, that's fine, but yeah.
► 00:05:23
No, yeah.
► 00:05:23
Is that what you're saying we should talk about Bernie?
► 00:05:25
Well, no.
► 00:05:26
It's actually just to start a conversation and ask if you're concerned about him.
► 00:05:29
So you're saying that Trump even has policies?
► 00:05:32
What policies are they other than himself?
► 00:05:34
I'm not coming to talk about Trump.
► 00:05:36
I was here to talk about Bernie to figure out.
► 00:05:37
That's what I don't understand what you're talking about.
► 00:05:39
You're saying we should talk about Bernie bumping his head out of the shower.
► 00:05:43
And for what reason?
► 00:05:44
What kind of enlightenment is that going to provide us that he bumped his head?
► 00:05:47
That's a good question.
► 00:05:48
That's why I'm here to talk to people.
► 00:05:49
I'm all here.
► 00:05:51
Yeah.
► 00:05:51
I'm literally to get your opinion.
► 00:05:52
I'm not even like, I'm serious.
► 00:05:54
What do you think?
► 00:05:55
If you think it doesn't matter, then that's kind of the point of it, right?
► 00:05:57
I don't understand how it could possibly matter that he bumped his head.
► 00:06:00
I don't understand.
► 00:06:00
Because, I mean, obviously, like, people have called into question Trump's obesity.
► 00:06:03
People call into question Hillary's health problems as well with fainting.
► 00:06:06
So, I mean, if he's hitting his head, getting out the greatest.
► 00:06:09
If you call yourself the greatest and you're a pig like Trump, then this should be called out.
► 00:06:13
Do you think it's good to call any human animals?
► 00:06:15
Like, do you think it's good to compare humans to animals?
► 00:06:17
I don't know the context.
► 00:06:18
Call him a pig.
► 00:06:19
I don't think it's good.
► 00:06:20
Oh, I'm sorry.
► 00:06:21
I know you.
► 00:06:22
No, no, no, no, I understand what you mean, but I just...
► 00:06:25
If you're a selfish individual, then you can be called a pig like that.
► 00:06:27
When you are the president of the United States and a selfish, despicable individual like that, you should be called a pig, yes.
► 00:06:34
Definitely.
► 00:06:35
That's fair.
► 00:06:35
And that's the only way you get rid of these kind of pigs by calling them what they are.
► 00:06:40
Otherwise, you have people like Trump and everybody's sitting around a table trying to be as polite as they can.
► 00:06:45
And that is why we have Donald Trump in office.
► 00:06:48
Because nobody calls him what he is.
► 00:06:51
That's why he's in office.
► 00:06:53
We talk about stupid things like this, like Bernie bumping his head, instead of the fact that we have what it is.
► 00:07:00
When we have stupidity, we have this.
► 00:07:03
When you have someone calling somebody not a coward who can call Donald Trump a pig, which he is, that's what you got to expose the truth.
► 00:07:10
Not this BS.
► 00:07:12
Can we not be contrarian?
► 00:07:15
Can we be contrarian?
► 00:07:17
I don't know, man.
► 00:07:19
You can be contrarian.
► 00:07:21
Yes.
► 00:07:22
Good job.
► 00:07:24
But my side is taller.
► 00:07:27
Yo, yo, pick me on your back.
► 00:07:30
Hey, guys, as, yeah, as Trump, hey, if you guys are just like, try to be a nice supporters and telling me like gay slurs, homophobic slurs, it's not cool, man.
► 00:07:37
Most of everyone here is pretty cool.
► 00:07:40
Yeah, everyone's here is cool, man.
► 00:07:41
I'm cool with him.
► 00:07:44
Why can't I be in a public place at a rally to hold up a sign with an opposing opinion?
► 00:07:49
It's not an opinion.
► 00:07:50
It's just like a stupid fact.
► 00:07:53
Okay.
► 00:07:54
And your point?
► 00:07:56
You're stupid to bring this.
► 00:07:57
Okay, so I don't disagree with that.
► 00:07:59
It is kind of stupid.
► 00:08:02
Well, how am I?
► 00:08:03
I'm literally just getting an opinion.
► 00:08:05
Yeah, what's your opinion?
► 00:08:07
What's your opinion?
► 00:08:07
So, European, keep it in your house.
► 00:08:09
Okay, well, that's not how America works, brother.
► 00:08:11
I'm sure Trump is the most liberal Republican ever.
► 00:08:13
He's not even a true Republican.
► 00:08:15
He's more liberal.
► 00:08:16
He's the only first president that came in supporting homosexual and gay marriage when he came in.
► 00:08:20
Not even Obama did.
► 00:08:22
So I actually think Trump is pretty liberal, and I'm not even against Bernie Sanders.
► 00:08:25
I don't think he's a terrible guy.
► 00:08:26
I just don't think that socialism and socializing industries is the future.
► 00:08:30
That's all.
► 00:08:30
What about the fact that Medicare is a socialist program and seniors are very happy with it?
► 00:08:36
Yeah, I mean, we could talk about that.
► 00:08:37
We could talk about issues based on that.
► 00:08:39
I think going any further in the socialization process might not benefit it, especially because, like, in Canada, where they have equal access, there's longer wait times.
► 00:08:46
But, I mean, as someone personally who struggles to afford health care, I'm totally for having the conversation.
► 00:08:51
But I think just assuming that socializing the industry is going to be the answer, that's not where I stand.
► 00:08:56
I think I overheard you said you're not socialist.
► 00:08:58
Is that what you said?
► 00:08:59
I'm not pro-socialist.
► 00:09:00
I understand that America is a socialist country.
► 00:09:02
I've heard that argument.
► 00:09:03
It's not an argument.
► 00:09:04
I can explain it to you right now.
► 00:09:05
Please, I appreciate it.
► 00:09:06
Yes, thank you.
► 00:09:06
First of all, tell me where, anywhere in our governmental documents, it says we're a capitalist country.
► 00:09:11
Because I'm going to show you where it says we are a socialist.
► 00:09:13
Tell me where it says we're a capitalist country.
► 00:09:15
It's not in our constitution, no.
► 00:09:16
It's not.
► 00:09:17
It does say we're a socialist country in our constitution.
► 00:09:20
Not only just somewhere random in our constitution, it says it right at the very, very beginning.
► 00:09:25
The preamble of the constitution, which says what our country is all about, says we, the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure the domestic tranquility, and provide for the general welfare.
► 00:09:36
Saying general welfare is a socialist reality.
► 00:09:41
You think general welfare is just like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
► 00:09:44
General welfare is exactly what it says: welfare.
► 00:09:46
Provide for the general welfare and common defense.
► 00:09:49
That is what our country.
► 00:09:51
When you read the stories of the Founding Fathers, you think that they were for capitalistic.
► 00:09:54
Wait, hold up, hold up.
► 00:09:56
Wait, wait, wait.
► 00:09:57
I literally have barely said anything.
► 00:09:58
I appreciate what you guys are saying, by the way.
► 00:10:00
I'm like, I'm absolutely not saying.
► 00:10:02
We have socialism for the rich and rugged individual capitalism for everybody else.
► 00:10:06
That's right.
► 00:10:06
The banks got bailed out.
► 00:10:08
Main Street got sold out.
► 00:10:10
Can I tell you that on those, on that platform, I agree.
► 00:10:13
I think that Big Brother is already too big in our country.
► 00:10:16
I think that the government has messed with the economy.
► 00:10:18
I think capitalism, pure capitalism, could work when the economy is allowed to rise and fall.
► 00:10:22
But personally, I believe the government came in.
► 00:10:23
I think the bailouts were bad for the country.
► 00:10:25
I don't think that was a good idea.
► 00:10:26
And I honestly believe that you and I probably have more similar ground.
► 00:10:30
Like you said, just like Bernie and Trump might have more similar ground.
► 00:10:33
My point is, I didn't come out here preaching a pure capitalistic message.
► 00:10:36
I didn't come out here saying capitalism, it's in our constitution.
► 00:10:39
I was just saying I don't think moving further and further left towards socialism is the best idea.
► 00:10:44
I think that we can fix the systems in place.
► 00:10:46
We can cut budgets and spending, even reduce some of our funding to our military as well, and increase our funding and education.
► 00:10:51
I'm all for that.
► 00:10:52
So that's why people assuming what I believe without listening to me, just because I'm trying to start a conversation is unfair.
► 00:10:59
No.
► 00:10:59
No, of course, but it starts the conversation.
► 00:11:01
Yeah, yeah.
► 00:11:03
I'm concerned that Bernie Sanders, the DNC themselves, didn't even want Bernie Sanders to be their nominee and their candidate.
► 00:11:09
I don't think he has enough grassroots support, and I think in two years to watch the left go so far left to start embracing ideas like socialism, especially with a grassroots communist movement amongst youth, it frightens me for our country.
► 00:11:20
However, I do think that moderate liberals, moderate Republicans, moderate conservatives share a lot of equal ground, and I hope that we can just start a dialogue.
► 00:11:26
I think that Bernie Sanders gets unfair privilege from the media to be seen as a good guy while Trump gets unfair.
► 00:11:31
I think they both do good and bad things.
► 00:11:33
And I think the conversation needs to be about policy, what's best for our country, and not just about whether or not Bernie's cool and we like him and Trump's evil and bad and cheated on his wife.
► 00:11:40
There's more to the story.
► 00:11:41
First of all, I was ran LA for Trump is not prison reform.
► 00:11:46
Prison reform for the black community.
► 00:11:49
Do you know about that?
► 00:11:51
It literally was.
► 00:11:53
It was a non-partisan.
► 00:11:55
He didn't sign like emergency presidential declaration or anything like that.
► 00:12:01
That was the Senate and the Congress.
► 00:12:03
He helped lobby this.
► 00:12:04
Wait, he helped lobby this.
► 00:12:06
But he's been lobbying.
► 00:12:07
He was at the White House.
► 00:12:09
Brother, he was at the White House lobbying Donald Trump.
► 00:12:12
I was literally at the White House.
► 00:12:13
I was at the Senate building lobbying for the.
► 00:12:15
Okay, are you going to tell a guy he was here lobbying?
► 00:12:19
He was there lobbying.
► 00:12:19
He's explaining himself.
► 00:12:20
Just let him explain himself and I'll let you explain yourself too.
► 00:12:23
Here we go.
► 00:12:24
Yeah, he asked one good thing Trump has done, prison reform.
► 00:12:27
So Obama was president for eight years, no prison reform.
► 00:12:31
Even presidents, Republican and Democrats before Obama, no prison reform.
► 00:12:34
Something that people, presidents have been saying they were going to do for years and years and years, never did.
► 00:12:39
Trump did it in the first two years of his presidency.
► 00:12:41
What I want to know is what Trump did.
► 00:12:43
Wait, hold on, hold on.
► 00:12:44
I'll take it.
► 00:12:46
He's also separating parents from their children at the border.
► 00:12:49
Trump's doing that too.
► 00:12:51
Wait, where did you see that?
► 00:12:51
Where did you see that?
► 00:12:52
Look, I'm.
► 00:12:53
Do you have any pills?
► 00:12:54
Yes.
► 00:12:54
Yeah, the pictures that we use about Trump were during his administration from the public.
► 00:13:00
Look, let me tell you something.
► 00:13:02
Because I was not an Obama fan, okay?
► 00:13:04
And I exited the Democratic Party in June of 2017.
► 00:13:07
So I'm fully aware of what Obama did on many, many issues.
► 00:13:12
And he did do, there was a lawsuit by the ACLU between 2008 and 2014, okay?
► 00:13:19
That was during the Obama of children being abused under the custody of ICE and Homeland Space.
► 00:13:25
Bernie spoke out against it, I'm pretty sure.
► 00:13:26
I'm pretty confident, yeah.
► 00:13:27
So here's the thing.
► 00:13:28
There were pictures of children in cages, and they did come from during Obama's administration.
► 00:13:33
He was known as the deporter-in-chief.
► 00:13:36
I covered protests of Obama right here in Los Angeles back then in 2014, where they held signs, deporter-in-chief.
► 00:13:43
He deported more undocumented immigrants in his first two years than Bush did in all eight years.
► 00:13:49
However, however, he did not say the children were separated in the cages and the socks, of course, but they did not separate them and put them in different facilities so that the parents lost track of them, and now our government has lost track of them.
► 00:14:04
So that's not a good thing.
► 00:14:05
Now, also, with prison reform, look, we know that Clinton, Bill Clinton, started mass incarceration with the crime bill of 1994.
► 00:14:15
And any Democrats out there that think they're going to support Joe Biden, they need to look at the clip that's going around that shows how he testified on the floor of Congress about that crime bill.
► 00:14:27
He makes what Hillary said about super predators look good.
► 00:14:31
That's how bad his comments were about these horrible people in the ghettos preying upon people, all right?
► 00:14:38
So people need to forget, you know, and Bernie was there speaking against that crime bill.
► 00:14:43
Biden was saying, oh, we got.
► 00:14:46
She's press.
► 00:14:47
No, she's press, and she knows how to discuss this.
► 00:14:50
Yeah, I was like, yeah, I know.

You guys, we're literally not enemies.
► 00:14:57
We're not talking to you, right?
► 00:14:58
We're not talking to you.
► 00:14:59
Because the Republican Party is fascist, but the Democratic Party is also a massive machinery of war crimes and crimes against humanity, okay?
► 00:15:10
That's the reality.
► 00:15:12
Dude, literally, guys, I appreciate what you do.
► 00:15:15
I support your free speech.
► 00:15:16
I'm not a fascist.
► 00:15:17
I literally want you guys to be out here.
► 00:15:19
We both make good signs.
► 00:15:20
Capitalism, it works.
► 00:15:22
I like what you guys do.
► 00:15:22
I don't know why you think we're enemies.
► 00:15:25
And I apologize if I ever treated you poorly.

I seriously do, sincerely.

Yeah, yeah.

Yousove.com/slash slightly offensive.

All right.
► 00:15:33
Don't talk to them.
► 00:15:34
I'll explain later.
► 00:15:37
What does that even mean?
► 00:15:40
Can you tell me when someone just told you, hey, that woman's a slut, would you believe him?
► 00:15:43
I wouldn't.
► 00:15:44
Don't get flavored.
► 00:15:45
Yeah, hey, he can think for himself.
► 00:15:47
We've been very kind.
► 00:15:48
Have we not been kind to you?
► 00:15:50
Why would you not be able to think for yourself?
► 00:15:52
Hey, Don, tell him.
► 00:15:53
So I'll be open.
► 00:15:56
Why don't you guys want to talk?
► 00:15:58
I will talk with you, but anything.
► 00:15:59
Literally anything you'd want.
► 00:16:04
Trump's pretty good.
► 00:16:05
I like him.
► 00:16:06
Why are you letting these people scare you?
► 00:16:08
Why are you intimidating a minority, guys?
► 00:16:09
You're a white man intimidating a minority.
► 00:16:11
That's not cool.
► 00:16:12
Way to white splain him.
► 00:16:14
It's not cool, man.
► 00:16:15
Man splain and white splain a minority who's speaking freely.
► 00:16:20
You should be ashamed because you're a hypocrite.
► 00:16:22
But your beard is nice, so I give you two extra points, man.
► 00:16:26
I like it.
► 00:16:27
Have a peaceful time, brother.

We are here at UCLA again in front of Refused Fascism.

One day we will make peace.

Do you have any word for right-wingers, conservatives, or people that hate what you do?

That hate what I do?

Probably not.

Awesome, dude.
