"I'm here to defend freedom, real freedom. Right in here, this is the home of the brave. This is where you gotta make a stand. People are choosing to be here, we have places to go. We choose to stand here though. We're not gonna leave. That's it. It's time to change. It's time to stop thinking in the old way of thinking. If we all, of all races, of all religions, of all colors can get along in this park with no government, if we can agree how come our government can't? If we can do what's right for the greater good of all why can't they? Is it that hard?.

There's 3 things that I want. There's 14 million empty homes in this country and there are two million homeless people that have been thrown out of them. Put them in those homes. Everybody deserves a free college education. Everybody. And everybody deserves free health care. Everybody. Those 3 things will change this country and make people better. We need to start healing each other. If they're not going to feed us then we will feed ourselves. If they're can't heal us then we will heal ourselves. They're gonna have to learn from our example. We're gonna set the bar. Let's see if they can do it. I don't think they can. And since they can't I think we're going to have to probably replace them all. No sense in being a cog in a machine that just stopped working. We're tired of the left and the right we want to go forward.

We've got all the senators and the congress all thinking about themselves. All the big money needs to get out of Washington- that's why we're not there protesting at the White House because we know who really controls everything- the big money controls it all. FDR had it right. Every man woman and child in American deserves a home, a job at a decent wage, an education through college, free health care. Guaranteed. You should be born with that right. Because if we can't feed and take care of our own...what can we do?"
