"Well, as you just heard, next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944, when I was 18 years old, I was inducted into the Army. And they sent me for basic training to Camp Blanding, which is near Jacksonville, Florida. And what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. In Germany, can you imagine how I felt earlier this year, when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same Camp Blanding in Florida? What remarkable irony! We, in this country, have seen a remarkable change. And in Washington, right now, and forgive me, I'm going to use the F-word, we have a fascist, a fascist government that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated. We have been lied to over and over and over again about these camps. Our president said these detention camps were being put up to put in immigrants who had criminal records. We now have about 65,000 to 70,000 people incarcerated in these camps, in detention camps. 29%, 29% have criminal records. 71% of the people in these camps, even with our countries, our governments' statements about why they set up the camps, don't belong there. 71% of the people in the camps don't belong there, according to the government, and yet they are put there. We've got to fight. We've got to keep fighting. We've got to reach people all over this country and tell them, don't look away. See what's happening!"
