00:00Now when I talk about this, some rich guys scream, class warfare.

00:05Well let me tell you something, these same rich guys have been waging class warfare against

00:11hard working people for decades, I say it's time to fight back.

00:27I grew up on the ragged edge of the middle class and I know it's hard out there.

00:38We nearly lost our home, I remember how my mother cried every single night and eventually

00:45we made it.

00:47My mom went to work at Sears, I babysat, I waitressed, my daddy eventually made it back

00:53to work.

00:54We paid off medical bills for years.

01:16I was the first nursing mother to take a bar exam in the state of New Jersey.

01:38How much more is today's mom, dad and two kids spending on food than they spent a generation

01:42ago?

01:4421% less, today's family is spending 44% less on appliances than they spent a generation

01:50ago.

01:51So where's the money going?

01:52It's going to the mortgage, it's going to the health insurance, day care, child care,

01:56nursery school, something to take care of the little ones and a second car so that mom

02:00can get to work.

02:18Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea, God

02:23bless, keep a big hunk of it, but part of the underlying social contract is you take

02:31a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

02:42To all the small business owners who are tired of the system rigged against them, we're going

02:49to hold the big guys accountable.

03:03Have you returned one nickel of the millions of dollars that you were paid while this scam

03:08was going on?

03:09Well, first of all, this was by 1% of our people.

03:12That's not my question, this is about responsibility.

03:16I will take that as a no then.

03:26There's no evidence of her having any Native American.

03:28She's not 132nd, there's none.

03:29If there are questions, you know, she should answer them.

03:30If you're asked to be transparent, then you should do so.

03:43Donald Trump is worried about helping poor little Wall Street.

03:48Let me find the world's smallest violin to play a sad, sad song.

04:03I can't call her Pocahontas anymore because she has no Indian blood.

04:07I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you

04:13take the test and it shows you're an Indian.

04:19President likes to call my mom a liar.

04:22What do the facts say?

04:23The facts suggest that you absolutely have a Native American ancestor in your pedigree.

04:38Family stories are not the same as tribal citizenship, and this is why I have apologized.

04:47Nothing about my background ever had anything to do with any job I got in any place.

04:54It's been fully documented.

04:57This is the fight of our lives, the fight to build an America where dreams are possible,

05:11an America that works for everyone.
