RFK Jr.: I agree with @glennbeck that the real war in America today isn’t between left and right; it’s a class war. The question is whether the rising populist revolution is going to be hijacked by dark, regressive forces – as it was in the 1930s – or whether it will be harnessed by more idealistic impulses.

TRANSCRIPT
Glenn Beck (GB): We're right now fighting Democrats, Republicans, and I don't think it's Democrats and Republicans. I think that's a stage show. I think it is the elites and the people.
RFK Jr.: It's a populist and like a class war – like you say. Populism is easily hijacked by demagog-.
GB:Yes.
RFK Jr.: But it, it doesn't necessarily have to be dark.
GB:Yes.
RFK Jr.: It doesn't have to be fascism or Nazism.
GB:Yes.
RFK Jr.: It was the populist movement in our country in 1903 that got rid of the Gilded Age, and we got the 40-hour work week. We ended child labor. We got women the vote. We got, you know, we got the Sherman Antitrust Act passed, and we made corporations pay taxes for the first time. You know, we're seeing a revolution in this country that's going to happen. You can't have a situation in which 57% of the people in this country can't put their hands on $1,000 if they have an emergency. 54% of the people in this country are not making a enough money to pay for basic human needs, and there's going to be a revolution. And is it going to be captured by dark, regressive forces, or are we going to be able to keep it as an expression of idealism?
