I'm interested in producing more TV shows.

If I'm off the teleprompter, management doesn't get to see what I'm going to say.

Be true to your audience, or you will lose money.

I was always kind of a loudmouth to the point where I annoyed my teachers and friends.

You can't win a congressional seat unless you have money. Even if you do, it's tick-tock, tick-tock until someone with more money beats you.

Jeremy Corbin is a little too liberal for me.

There are a lot of things wrong with the country, and that doesn't mean America sucks. It means we should improve it.

The right wing has an ecosystem that is funded by billionaires who want tax cuts.

The reason people like the Young Turks is because we say things you're not allowed to say in Washington that are obviously true.

I know that a lot of people love to say that polls are wrong or don't matter, and from time to time they are - it depends on who they are polling.

The devil I know is the establishment, and I'm gonna beat that devil.

You know you're a bigot when you can't take out the word 'Muslim' from a sentence you stated and replace it with 'Jew' and still have it be socially acceptable.

I've criticized myself over the years.

I'm a huge optimist.

The Grand Bargain is a Grand Lie. Anyone who argues for it is either a fool or a charlatan. If President Obama was anything but the establishment hack that he is, he would never consider it.

You think that the CNN hosts can aggressively challenge government officials? I don't think so. It doesn't look that way at all. And of course, when you get to Fox News, they're a whole different animal: they're purely propaganda.

I am not in the camp of 'Russia has to be our enemy, and they have to be that way forever,' and I think sometimes we fight about from the past.

I think President Obama is clearly, you know, a Republican. I know, because in the 1990s I was a Republican, and he's way to the right of me, and I've hardly changed any positions.

If I get hungry, I get cranky on air.

Our number one agenda is to get money out of politics, to drain the swamp, but not in the way that Trump said. He stacked his cabinet full of Goldman Sachs guys.

Unfortunately, a lot of the mainstream media television is so fake, so plastic, that it's really turned off the younger generation.

The Republicans love alpha-males, and they're sick of the corruption, too. Not that Trump will do anything about it. But at least he's not bought. And he throws in just the right amount of racism to appeal to the Republican base.

I made $70,000 in the 1990s, when I was a corporate lawyer. I didn't see that salary again until I was on MSNBC.

You can turn on Fox News almost any day and see some fictional story about voter fraud, the whole purpose of which is to limit voting by the poor, the elderly, college students and minorities.
