No poem in the world could do my mom justice. Despite circumstance and adversity, she had an unwavering love for her kids and a faith-based, boundless capacity for forgiveness.Collection: Forgiveness
Nothing replaces hard work. The harder you work, the luckier you get.
Sometimes, when I open my mouth, all hell breaks loose. Other times, I feel like a voice in the wilderness and I wonder, 'Does anybody get this?'
I support collective bargaining everywhere.
How did a prairie-dwelling, red-meat-eating, gun-toting former conservative become the hope of liberal radio? It all started with this annoying habit I have of speaking my mind.
It took a few years before I realized there was life after football.
I do think that every super power on the globe has a very poor record on human rights.
I think the United States has a nasty human-rights record.
The president of the United States, Barack Obama, deserves the benefit of the doubt and our support in his decision to use military force in Libya.
Radio is about emotion.
I was pretty much a warmonger and a pretty greedy guy. I always wanted to make as much money as I possibly could and felt the downtrodden didn't deserve a break.
Nobody is going to tell Ed Schultz what to say.
In Russia, Vladimir Putin is viewed as a progressive Democrat.
Full disclosure: the Russians did not tell Hillary Clinton, 'Don't go to Wisconsin.'
If you're going to have an exchange of ideas, the only thing you can do is to meet people face-to-face in front of a crowd who may think differently than you do. I mean, that's what democracy is about, isn't it?
I lined up with the Republicans because they were antitax, and I wanted to make a lot of money.
They ought to be focused on saving healthcare. They ought to be focused on making sure we don't privatize Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. That's where the Democrats ought to be.
I don't agree with Trump on everything.
I think Donald Trump is a racist.
When it comes down to the devil in the detail of dealing with the issues... and making real change, Trump, you don't have it. You've never had it.
Trump gives public service a bad image. It's not about flash, it's not about wealth, and it's not about hairstyle. It's about doing something for people and being an advocate for the community you represent.
I admit that I'm fat.
If we start attacking advertisers because of what somebody said - it's the wrong thing to do.
I'm a liberal - and I'm not running from that word!
Viewers don't want you to walk the fence - they do want a point of view - and that's what we bring.
The Republican effort to make the September 11th attack on Benghazi into a scandal is really about one thing and one thing only: Hillary Clinton.
Whether you like it or not, Santorum is as good as President Obama with a crowd.
I'm not your quintessential liberal.
I think that you have to get out there and get with the folks and push the flesh and be connected to viewers and listeners.
We have to be very cognizant of the fact that 90 percent of the electronic media in this country is owned, operated, programmed, and controlled by conservatives. They made a concerted effort during and before the Reagan years that they were going to get the microphone.
I've always wanted to go on 'The View!'
If you do a cable show, you have a radio show, whatever, if you're fat and you've got red hair, look, they're going to pick on you.
When Bernie Sanders was announcing that he was going to be a candidate for the nomination of the Democratic Party in Burlington, Vermont, I was the only cable host between FOX, MSNBC, and CNN that was there to cover it live.
I guess when I got to MSNBC in 2009, I brought Bernie Sanders to cable probably more than anybody else.
Many times, I was told what to lead with on MSNBC. Many times, I was told what I was not going to do.
RT completes the picture of the events in the U.S. and around the globe, giving viewers access to a range of stories, voices, and opinions and a real opportunity to speak their minds.
Big money and corporate interest drown out a lot of voices.
I never shop - my wife takes care of all of that.
I was the first reporter in the country to get a U.S. Senator on the air during the 9/11 attacks - I was broadcasting from the Hart Building.
I've never really figured out why the media covers the media, you know?
There's so much in the media that's not the truth.
I feel very comfortable about being fair to Trump. I think I've been very fair to him.
Since when is it against the law to meet with people from another country?
There is evidence Rand Paul has a real problem with women reporters.
The Left has been frustrated because President Obama has allowed the Republicans to run all over him.
Many mines in the world are unsafe. They are dangerous as hell.
We never see any journalism or documentaries on the oceans and what we're doing on this Earth and how it affects the oceans and how important they are. I'm intrigued by it. It's almost an untold story.
I think you can be in disagreement with a president you support without being disrespectful or nasty or snide.
Not to get too grandiose about it, but I really believe I'm saying things a lot of Americans want someone to say.
