- We continue our conversation with Andrew Cockburn, Washington editor for Harper’s magazine, about what he sees as Biden’s dangerous track record, from his 1994 crime bill to his close ties with big banks. Cockburn’s latest piece is headlined “No Joe! Joe Biden’s disastrous legislative legacy.”

Joe Biden? *NO* Biden.
No Joe
NOT only NO to Biden, but NO to ANY politician (regardless from which party) accepting large/corporate donations & those with multiple countries of citizenship's in any level of politics.
@@truthmatters-notgreed784 I know, and we need really cool slogans like I'm with her, and breaking the glass ceiling! I'm so excited! It's all about the slogans, and pandering. No policy substance, lets go safe boring and milk toast. Tim Kaine
having joe on the ticket would be the same as Hillary. trump gets reelected.
Also; No Booker, Warren, or Harris. Indeed, no more Democrats *or* Republicans, either. Partisanship is the downfall of our nation.
He's a good cop/bad cop establishment bull$hitter that has never gotten a thing done except bad news...
He's from the tax-haven state and a patsy for the credit card companies - He's an apologist for the credit card companies and big banks. Etc. etc. He will do nothing for anyone but the oligarchs.
AGREED!!!@@ahagamama
After Anita Hill and his crime bill trash from the 90s is all I ever needed to know about him. Nope, NEXT.
Not to mention he basically wrote the Patriot Act back in 1995.
He has changed lol
lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
Wishy washy, lying, plagiarizer, elitist, republican in dems clothing, against the common man and woman .
How can you vote for him!!!! Only if Bernie vp to keep biden honest to the American People!!!
@@SecondLifeDesigner The Patriot Act didn't exist in 1995.
And as for that crime bill? Bernie voted for it too.
The bill that Biden wrote in the 90’s was later turned into The Patriot Act.
I don’t know if any of you were alive or adults in the 90’s. I was and let me tell you, it was really bad. Black people in Chicago championed the crime Bill! They told Clinton he better do something about the crime within the inner cities.
The very young were killing at or above what we see in Chicago today but add, Compton, Watts, Brooklyn...etc
Crack was King!
People in the country wanted a ban on guns as well which is also a part of the crime Bill.
You had to live and old enough back then to understand why things happened (Context) the way they did. I don’t know why I did the things I did in my younger days, but man I wish I would not have done them.
Let us pray that old age has made him a better man but more importantly, I pray the hard lessons of life have taught him to be better. Hopefully, I’ve grown past hurtful mistakes that I’m sure hurt others.
Bless you all..
The best coverage of Biden’s record I’ve seen. As always thank you democracy now
@Mike Bailey Haters Gonna Hate, Mike Bailey. Which most likely isn't your real name. Because you aren't a real man!
Troy Turton haha Mike Bailey very politely handed you your ass on a platter. How did that taste? So glad I went down to this comment section LMAO @Troy turd
Thanks for the truth democracy now the other channels are overlooking or hiding the truth
these were the days. RIP democracy now
For a deeper look at Biden's shilling for banks as Senator of Delaware, Mother Jones has an article, Joe Biden: House of Cards.
So, 21 minutes is not long enough to cover all the reasons NOT to vote for Biden.
Love your avatar
phantomcreamer You don’t think it makes my nose look too big?
Joe's a tragic warmonger who lost his son to illegal war. Nevertheless he remains mute about the Empire industrial complex.
"Empire industrial complex". Capitalism is a much shorter term
4th Dimension aye aye
David Faubion Biden’s son died of cancer
If you've followed the news at all would know that he has not started
a war since he's been
in office. And you'd' have
to be extremely naiiive to
believe that the Repulsicans will not!
Excellent piece Democracy Now!!
???
Joe should just stay out. I think he would lose to Trump. Bernie is the only one would beat Trump
@IDK DRC I get you I was surprised the last one too. But Biden is old news, old ideas, and Obama sidekick. He's done
Robert Linton exactly
Robert Linton he also has dementia. And is now leading us straight into four more years of Trump. Fuck.
Good thing Vegas doesn't cover election races. 🤣🤣🤣
It is becoming clear to me that we have only one political party in this country and it is offered up by and for the donor class.
Very important information to re-view! Sanders serves the American workers. Not Biden. Go Bernie Go!
THANK YOU!!!!!
What he said was perfect. Missing from all wannabe leaders. The problem with it is he didn't intend to take a bite out of crime, he was planning to deliver to the privatized prison industry.
Yes, Thank you Democracy Now!
Wonderful interview, I only wish every voter had seen it. Posted today on Fb. Thanks Amy.
Cambria Wellness thank you for posting this on fb. It always surprises me how short term memory is lacking in most people. They need to be reminded of Biden’s sleazy corporate past.
2 years later, and so many morons still think B-b-b-b-Biden is the greatest ever. I'm with *you* , Cambria, but so many think we are the Devil. It shows you what a _sad_ state we are in - than even *one* person supports this evil regime!!
I have pointed out half of the points Cockburn said to some of my Democrat friends and you wouldn't believe their righteous indignation, their mouths agape that I could libel such a champion of the people!!!!. Is nice to hear that some people do remember Biden as he was and not as he wants us to remember him. He represents the worst of our corporatist, racist, unprincipled, duplicitous, tired politicians.
I unfortunately also have such friends. There seems to be no end to the sleepwalking Dimocrats out there.
@@EnzoVecchiaio So it's up to you and Freddy to turn these people around to the real "champion of the people"
#BernieSanders2020
That's the two party system of government isn't it. Neoliberalism run amuck. For the vast majority of Americans this capitalism of US politics doesn't effectively address the government's responsibilities towards the people majority no matter which of those party's they wave the banner for. My position is that the people who are not serviced by a politico that's decided their interest is that of corporate and wall street interest, is to form its own political party that represents the current, future, and retired labor of America. If one can't get what they want at one store we go to another, and another to get what we want. I see no difference.
@@billyboy6028lol
Biden and all the other oldies need to retire. Biden, corporate shill, is not needed.
Thanks for the perspective Mr. Cockburn.
Wow, this guy nailed Biden. This video needs to make a comeback.
"I am sorry for most of the things I have done",would be the appropriate campaign slogan for Joe Biden.
And this will be the only reason that Trump will be elected .
More of the same old same old !
I will not vote for Biden... For me it´s Bernie or bust!
Why are you doing this now? This needed to be done in January or February. Very disappointing that we are this far when the Joe Biden resistance starts.
Yep, that's good ol' jolting Joe Bidden and the depth of his new Democrat shallowness.
Sadly, so many older (vastly uninformed) Democrat voters who long for the Obama era to come back will vote for Biden. They continue to apologize for Obama's shortfalls as much as Trump supporters that voted for him on his antiwar/anticorruption campaign rethoric apologize for his. Kudos to DN for this objective reporting. Peace.
When I listened to Biden's speech, at the very beginning, at first I thought he was talking about tough laws even to his and the senate members' families. I thought he was talking about his family should be taken off the street if they committed crimes. Oh boy, how am I still naive? Of course he was talking about keeping his family safe from these peasants who had been neglected by the government due to the corrupt system. I expected no less from a neo liberal politician like him.
Another anointed one in our midst. A non-starter. Run, Biden, run... away. And stay.
And now he's on his way to handing Trump a second term. Good job Americans!
Dick Macgurn That is thanks to most of the age 40 and over democratic voters who were stupid enough to support this senile pervert and war criminal from Delaware.
Wow 😲. What a video!,
"It's rather very mental, really!" LMFAO Andrew Cockburn - respect!
This is painful to listen to in March 2020. This is the way things would have worked out if people were rational actors.
One of the best - and wryly funny - analysis of Joe Biden I’ve heard yet. Thank you. Hope you’ll bring Mr. Cockburn back on.
His ego is to big, he'll run.
max man sounds like it
Gropin' Joe!!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😉🙊🙊🙊
I’m not gonna say anything but she’s the best thank you
MoreOfTheSame2020
I never Vote for the person Establishment choose for me as a Voter I am the one to chose the candidate not a Establishment .
Completely agree with Andrew ; spot on about Biden. We will definitely lose if he's the nominee as Trump will spin, wring & twist him into knots as he won't be quick-witted to fight back, period.
Love you Amy
Joe Dementia for a rest home 2020!
ADOS REPARATIONS SHOULD IRONICALLY START WITH THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF ALL NON VIOLENT BLACKS FROM PRISONS NATIONWIDE.
Just say no to Joe!
Never, hear that, Biden! I'm with Bernie 2020 all the way!
You're right, babe.
He goes whichever way that the wind blows. At least with Trump you know what you get!!
He's been a politician longer than I've been alive.
Super interview. thanks.
"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery -- then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved."

Thank you for the thorough exposé Anthony Cockburn.
Great, Amy!
it doesn't matter if my son is a drug addict that fuels a lot of this violence
This video surfaced at the perfect time for me.
I don't hate the policy (now). That was the crack era Joe. Let's keep it flowing with the Meth era, shall we Joe!
Joe Biden for assisted living 2020.
I can see the debates already...
Host: "Joe Biden, what is your favorite flavor ice cream?"
Joe Biden: "I like cosmopolitan with chocolate syrup, it has a little bit of everything. In a way it's much like the world I see today all different flavors of humanity working together to make a better desert. *Aaand!,* the chocolate makes it so much better!"
Host: " Mhm Mhm, Bernie Sanders, why are you trying to make the US like Venezuela?"
Bernie Sanders: "Right, it's interesting that you should bring Venezuela up. Venezuela, now I'm not sure how many of you actually know about Venezuela or have ever been there. But, as we all should know Venezuela is currently under sanctions that are crippling their economy. Some of these sanctions by the way started under the advisement of Biden. Isn't that right? So, is Venezuela our enemy? Do they pose some threat military or otherwise? Just a few short years ago, Venezuela assisted many families on the east coast with heating oil during a particularly hard winter. Does that make them our enemy, I think not. I and some of my other colleagues here have made and proposed countless bills and statements denouncing this aggression.
But do I think that all people should have healthcare as a right!..."
Host: " thank you thank you... We'll have enough of that. Tulsi Gabbard, why do you support terrorists?"
Lmao
And now...here we are one year later with this fool as the Democratic front runner.
Not wanting to ask what causes crime pretty much guarantees a future with crime. It would be like not testing for COVID-19 disease while complaining about the epidemic.
Conservative = Liberal
This is exactly what actual patriots are talking about when we say *BOTH SIDES.*
A vote for Biden or Trump mean cutting Social Security. A back door to cutting Social Security is to cut the payroll tax.
I'm glad he's running because he will lose terribly and it will be funny. I'm more worried about Beto O'Rourke who many think is a progressive fresh voice.
CNN uncovered this and never played it once during the election that I can recall
Name recognition should equate to policy recognition, which was all bad!
Kudos to Democracy Now! This title (subject) will be found nowhere else in the televised media. 13:19 In other words, he's another Hillary. Too bad for our country that voters have been blinded to it by that same media.
#NOBIDEN
Great analysis
The predators have learned best from the master predator (AMERICA)
You don’t have to convince me. I actually want Biden to run to split the corporate democrat vote so Bernie can win.
Bernie/Tulsi 2020
How does the Sanders campaign not have that racist speech running on a loop nation wide leading up to South Carolina 😬😁🙌???
Never, never, never Biden. If the dems pick him,it's over.
Please god nooooo
***anyone else catch the creepy secret handshake @ **0:37** ?***
Joe doesn't have a chance once he starts opening his mouth.
It will come down to the establishment vs top progressive pick, Kamal Harris vs Bernie Sanders.
ps...no matter if it's trump or biden the power structure remains intact so it's anyone but Bernie even if the know they will losw the election but will retain their power and money.....
NoJoe is a great friend to Bankers & Wanker-Bully-NOT a friend of the common man & woman .. NoNoJoe ..
He apologized but didn't change his ways. He's not only a terrible politician but he targets ADOS.
Calvin Franklin thank you!
Bernie or BUST!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Biden a Republican has retired !! Vote true blue VOTE for Bernie Sanders Democracy and capitalism CAN NOT coexist without good social policies to balance 99% vs 1% We need change now Vote true blue VOTE for Bernie Sanders 2020 ❤
Correction: The Young Turks and Secular Talk were really first in opening these questions!
He's the Democratic equivalent of Dan Qayle.
Elaborate?
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'" Joe Biden"[It's] time for the human race to enter the solar system." Dan Quayle
None of the establishment candidates are getting the progressive vote. If they steal the nomination from Bernie again they will lose to Trump and progressives will launch a 3rd party.
There will be a 3rd Reich preventing a 3rd party or any elections by then.
_...and progressives will launch a 3rd party._
And the GOP would consolidate there power with a divided DNC. Good going there!
Hey Andrew, love your tie! ;)
I agree that for whatever reason, criminals are predators that should be taken off the street.
Whoa!!!!!!!! Didn't know that! and i thought he was "an old around good guy"!
(should have kept in mind he's still a politician...)
vote in a new party. Dems and Reps Bounce failure back and forth.
Sick!
#NoJoe
I'm not so sure it is ENTIRELY INNOCENT. He is handsy, and you should never touch people, obviously women and children without consent.
Exactly. Not innocent at all. It's an offensive, disrespectful invasion of personal space and it's damn creepy.
Whos a masculine mercenary?
💪🏿
I don't see Biden beating Trump.Sanders has a good chance.
Best information yet on Biden
It's always been out there.
I will vote someone whose first priorities are universal health care, climate and education.
Creepy Joe? Aww hell NO
Nobody wants Joe Biden, TRUMP will be in the WH end of 2020,, Go home Joe,, nobody is thinking about mainstream media coverage of OLD JOE,, We all got MEMORIES of Joe,,, we will never FORGET
I wish Bernie Sanders and his campaign adopted this strategy instead of "Joe a friend of mine" and off limits from criticism... We would be seeing Bernie as the nominee instead.
I really really really really hope he doesn't win the democratic nomination. He'd be a terrible president.
Joe Biden, really? There's got to be a black face college photo in his family album somewhere. Bernie/Warren 2020 already.
The well know political philosopher Boss Tweed said "I don't care who does the electing, so long as I get to do the nominating."
That is a darling tie, btw. A gift from Mrs. Cockburn, perhaps?
Just say no to Joe.
I really like the use of this term: "Neo-liberal" as a means to describe a certain category of politicians (both republican and democrat) and the era of style of politics it belongs to... I think its superior to just saying corporate democrat, which is fine, but to say Joe Biden is a Neoliberal and dropping the democrat altogether, is way more descriptive...?
If you are reading this and you are black please spread this vid to older African Americans. I did my part! Young brothas and sistas we can do this. Educate our elders Biden will never win not with my vote.
I dislike VPs who have a history of going on the radio and talking about being tough on crime. I do like VPs who actually HAVE a history of being tough on crime.
We must put into hail those who do not pay their fare share of taxis and those sniffing cocaïne and loundering moneys.
Can't see what anybody but lobbyist see in him .
