I'm upset. I'm from New York. I believe in financial institutions. That's why I'm so mad. I believe that they make our country better, until they rip us off.

You didn't break the code of ethics? Do you realize that you have not only given--will you admit that not only does your bank have a black eye, but that your bank, Wells Fargo, has given the entire financial services industry a black eye…

Well, something is going wrong at this bank, and you are the head of it. So shouldn't the board then turn--from your own admission, if the buck stops with you, as you came out here and said, I apologize, the buck stops with me, and you…

We want the same things for all people--human rights, freedom to determine your own self-determination.

We can't be silent about that. We can't just allow it to go.

I am always concerned about democracy and democratic institutions.

We can't have coups d'etat. We have got to speak out against coups d'etat in order to have democratic order.

I stand in solidarity with the democratically elected Turkish Government and against any violent attempts to overthrow it.

Tiarah Poyau was young and full of life, like my daughters. She was the same age as many of the interns in my office. Like them, she had big dreams and she was full of promise. She completed her bachelor of science at St. John's University…

So that I am not upset about.

Turkey is our important ally in an increasingly complex region.

It is critical that we do all we can to prevent avoidable foreclosures and minimize the downward drag they exert on communities of color and the economy overall.
