One thing I've learned about death threats is that they're great, actually. You should actually be grateful for death threats because those who are taking the time to threaten you that way are getting it out of their system. That's really what they rant to do, yell at you, and they want to threaten you.
Wall Street, the banks, and corporate America, has been able to call the shots here. They control our members of Congress and they get what they want.
I'm not a pundit. I'm not an analyst. I don't want to participate in the existing debate that's going on about whether or not you should be able to have as many guns as you want to have or that guns are even the problem.
A lot of people on Capitol Hill don't want to talk to me.
I don't want to do anything that violates my own personal code of ethics and morals.
The American media wants to pump you full of fear.

I respect the fact that people have worked hard all week and want to go to the movies on the weekend and be entertained.
I see the show as (a cross between) the World Wrestling Federation and C-SPAN. If you can kind of imagine those two together, that's what we're doing.
Bill Gates is worth $97 billion. Ninety-seven billion, that is equal to the net worth of 120 million Americans. How did he get that rich? He ain't that smart.
