Bernie Sanders has a very impressive intellect and is on the correct side. I now have total respect for Bernie Sanders. I had not heard him speak at length before. A glimmer in the darkness.
Thank you @Bernie Sanders for setting the record straight. Everyday Americans are captives of the profiteering corporations and their Greed. The case for Democracy is that we can have these conversations and participate in governance. The problem is corruption - not Democracy as a system of governance.
The US is in economic and geopoilitcal mess because of Biden's bad policies some of which Bernie Sanders supported. When Trump was in office, energy was very affordable, many people had money and the economy was thriving. People are going to vote for Trump because they have witnessed or experienced what he can do with the economy and foreign policy when he was President... Trump never started a single war yet under Biden, there are now three wars..in Yemen, Israel and Ukraine...Trump also did not nuke any country as they had claimed to scare voters before he was elected
This was an excellent interview with penetrating questions. Bernie had very good answers. I believe the huge wealth imbalance is hurting the middle and working classes which cannot afford a house, a college education for their kids nor healthcare which is getting too expensive.
This entire world would have been a different place if Bernie was elected president. I am not being dramatic , everything America does, spreads to the other countries. When the rich become richer our lives get harder, USA under Bernie could have influenced that for better. This system of infinite growth in a finite world doesn't work and it's affecting everything we're trying to build for ourselves. Development and betterment of society shouldn't be conditioned by profit.
There would be no more genocide in Gaza if Bernie was president. This is why I volunteered my face off for him. The DNC caused a genocide. He's not perfect on the issue but he was by far the best we had.

If you want socialism then he’s your man. But he prefers Capitalism because he’s likes the money he earns, million dollar homes and expensive cars. He’s the liar and phony. America was better under Trump
Why? He is a grifter who has done nothing but help to expand the power of the ruling class and his own prosperity by exploiting the wants and needs of the working class. He holds his popularity by the will the ignorant.
We here need to promote more progressives to run & win in local, state and federal politics! Bernie may need to retire anyday now. What are we all going to do when THAT happens? We need an army of Bernies.
I supported Bernie in both 2016 & 2020 but he abandoned us and lied about being Biden's friend while Biden treated him like the biggest cuck of all cucks. Well, Bernie is WRONG!!! Biden would END our democracy if we let him run again for four more years. It's all endless wars & catering for the wealthy. NOPE! We need Trump back to fight against those Corporate Democrats. Biden is a dictator wannabe, lifelong corporatist and a closeted republican. Biden's handlers, Obama & Hillary, are destroying our country. Here is an example to prove that Biden was NEVER for us Americans, but for the special interests. Remember when Trump lowered the cost of insulin, and Biden immediately undid that? Then, when Biden had no choice but to re-implement that policy, he finely did, and then took credit for it? He probably don't remember, but we do!!! Biden HAS to go because Biden is much more dangerous than Trump.
Thanks for this Bernie. You’re finding it difficult to say the G word but you have suggested that Biden should speak to Netanyahu to stop funding their weapons. That will do for me.
It's almost like he actually understands the situation better than the people repeating things from a bandwagon started by nefarious figures to sew dissent
I also agree, his policy and actions are what I care about, however not calling it the G word is clearly something he has hang ups on, and probably requires some serious self interrogation. For now, what matters is that Bernie sees the injustice and wants it to end as soon as possible.
I am still thinking about that . But I am so angry , I can't even express my rage over the absolute evil taking place in Gaza . But I remember too, why Isreal exists now .
@@katherinecrossman8521 Sykes, Pico, Balfour, and Zionists divided up the Ottoman Empire but the boundaries ensured perpetual war. Tribal religious wars were also spurred by Kissinger.
Thank you for your words and your serenity, Bernie. This terrible war in Gaza has to stop immediately. It's shameful what is happening while the world is watching on. The possible longterm consequences of so many people, particularly children, left deeply traumatized because of the war, are still unimaginable and could affect us all. These people will need a lot of help.
it's a genocide. and it wouldn't be happening if the DNC had not cheated us. Reflect on how important primaries are. (and changing the US electoral system away from First Past The Post, but that's a tough hill to climb).
I think Bernie has become more needed over time, there is no arguing with his morals, principles, knowledge and servitude to American citizens. That Katie Porter lost in California is a huge loss of more of the same.
Notice how Biden and Trump are both older than Bernie, yet he’s the one who’s words actually make coherent sense. Would’ve been a better choice for president both times he ran.
Bernie is 82. He is the one who is older. He is maybe one of the most athletic over 80s you’ll meet and beats the little ones in his family playing pickup basketball.
Bernie was held back by those in the Democratic party who are influenced by corporate donors, (the Republicans unfortunately are even more influenced by big business). So it's a difficult situation, Biden administration still are kinder to the average person than the right, who just make everyone angry and deregulate so big business can get away with more. Trump backs big business but pretends to look out for the common person. He repealed over 100 environmental laws when he was in power. Many allowing more pollutants into our water and air. Trump not only allowed factories to pump more pollutants into the air but to build closer to residential areas. Thats not a man that cares about the people. So yes its a damn shame people with minds like Bernie Sanders get held back.
@@pallascat1743 unfortunately thats why he wasnt elected in my opinion, majority of the US cant even understand what he says, they're missing out on a wonderful president because they're just goofballs. we should be proud we're smarter than the average american
The US system is dominated by the Republican and Democratic Parties. Running as an independent Bernie, although very competent, was essentially outgunned by these two parties.
nice one krish great interview. i’m an irish/brit but v interested in US politics and i wanted bernie to win in 2016 & 2020. cannot believe how effective he is still at age 82 🤯
DJT should just ‘enjoy his life’. It doesn’t matter that he has no prospects of ever running for any sort of role in politics again (because he gets thrown in jail). It doesn’t matter if his home gets seized and he’s on the streets. It doesn’t matter that he’s in his mid 80’s and he’s left with no wife and kids (as they leave him). As long he has ‘fun’ and banter whilst living in his tent with the other homeless people in NY..
Are you insane? He's already proven he is a piece of s*** sell out. He works for the establishment not the people. Damn dude wake up before it's too late seriously
Bernie Sanders is a sellout counter-revolutionary pro-establishment con man. He represents the establishment and the elite he only pretends to give a s*** about you. He don't
If Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich teamed up, they coul cover the Truths in politics, economics, and human rights. I have learned so much from them❣️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾☑️🗳️💙❣️
The thing I love about Bernie Sanders is that he is just a straight-up decent and rational human being. That's all I want as a President. That is, quite literally, all I want.
Then you love the fact that, until recently, he was IN FAVOUR of funding, facilitating, aiding, abetting, Israel's GENOCIDAL policy, in favour of upholding Israel's tyranny, even arguing Israel has the right to defend itself....AGAINST CHILDREN!!!

Bernie , I wish these horrible wars in the middle east , could by stopped , by encouraging the impossible . Making everyone realize that everyone has a right to their own religious beliefs .and need to share the world with eachother . So everyone can have someplace to call home . And then maybe one reason wars are fought , in the name of God , could be eliminated . The other reason for war , greed would probably take more work .

Sen Sanders is the type of leader the world needs . He speaks to virtue, morals, decency and the needs of humanity . He's aware, experienced, and driven . Such true leaders are rare .
Yes but its easy to get lost in semantics so if he thinks avoiding a certain word enables him to be more effective at trying to protect innocent people isnt that the actual point?? Politics is an ugly game. You cant go arround alienating potential allies willy nilly. I think hes doing what he believes will best enable him to make meaning changes.

As a 64-year-old white woman who has been a citizen of the United States all my life, I've long thought that the problem with the United States is that we do not have a parliamentary system. That means we're stuck with our two-party system because no candidate other than a Democrat or a Republican is ever going to win a presidential election, especially as campaign expenditures have grown astronomically. Independents and socialists like Bernie Sanders, as well as progressive Democrats currently serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, do not hold enough seats to really change things. Particularly in the Republican Party, their extreme right-wing members of what's called the "Freedom" Caucus function as a thorn in the side of the Republican leadership, because they can block legislation with only a few votes because the partisan balance is so close. Conversely, progressive Democrats in the House have more ability to influence the president and the Democratic leadership, although not as much as I think they'd prefer to have, and they don't usually act as roadblocks. Because of their tactics, progressives can sometimes move legislative actions a little more in the direction they prefer. However, in a parliamentary system with a close leadership race like our current presidential campaign, these outlier groups and politicians would have greater power because they could form new parties with which the major parties would have to form coalitions if they want to win either an election or a legislative battle. For example, we've long had a Green Party in the United States but they've never gotten out of the single digits in national election results. They could have far more influence, and I daresay a lot more citizens on their side, in a parliamentary system. I personally voted for Green Party candidate Ralph Nader in two different general elections. The first was while I lived in the District of Columbia and worked as a Democratic staffer in the U.S. House of Representatives. Because of the heavily Democratic-leaning political dynamics in the District, I knew that I could vote for Green Party candidate Ralph Nader without risking Republicans winning any of D.C.'s three electoral votes. Plus, I was trying to help the Green Party get a higher placement on future ballots by getting a specified percentage of the vote, which I think was l 5% vote. I can't recall for certain what year that was, but it might have been for President Clinton's reelection in 1996. My vote for Nader did not affect his victory! And in 2000, I moved to Athens, Georgia to go to graduate school. It was pretty much the same situation but in reverse! I strongly supported Democrat Al Gore for president and thought Republican George W. Bush would be the worst president ever! (I thought he was until Trump came along!) But at that point, Georgia was so heavily Republican that every statewide poll showed Bush leading Gore by 15 to 20 percent. All through my first semester in grad school. I watched the polls like a hawk and spent way too much time watching political news on TV because I wanted to know if it would be safe to vote for Ralph Nader and the Green Party - meaning that it wouldn't affect Al Gore's chances of winning the presidency. I ended up doing just that, knowing that Bush would take all of Georgia's electoral votes regardless of how I voted. Too bad people in Florida did the same thing but were apparently not as thoughtful about what they were doing by voting Green. And then I couldn't believe the whole recount mess, which meant that I took more time away from my studies for another month!
Thank you Mr. Sanders for your beautiful soul and we wish that you had the chance of running America 🇺🇸 for a while back when you could make a huge change. Things hopefully will be moving your way with the new generation who will probably share your ideas. G-d Bless you forever! 🤲
An excellent conversation/interview. My unlikely wish for a US president/vice president combination would be Bernie Sanders and Arnold Schwarzenegger, or vice versa. I think that although they are in different houses, there is a remarkable similarilty in their ideologies. Arnie of course is currently ineligible for the presidency as he was not born in the USA; but hey nothing is forever.

Careful what you wish for
He is a very successful grifter
Shouldn't the USA be applying sanctions on Israel instead supplying military equipment and financial support?
Why are genuinely good, kind, and honest people, like Bernie, so rare these days?
The ones like trump silence them, make them irrelevant. Oh it's just CRAZY Bernie....smh.
Because you live in capitalism, the system that cares about PROFIT and lies about ... just about everything that impedes said profit.
Profit you can call exploitation, same thing.
You need to do a better job of vetting him. If you do your research you'll find he's nothing more than a gate keeper.
@@michaelpinkston4628 Do tell, man. Do tell.
I understand that U DID your research, right?
How long was it? Took a day ... a year? ... a decade?
Were you working in the meantime?
I watch Vermont, I watch him, what he supports and what comes out of it and I just trust him, that is all.
Then I watch the dkook and I feel I wanna go look for an AR-15 ... to at least serve them a bit of their own crappinggio.
I am certain that the orangers do not do an OUNCE of research, responding to the dkook.
They just feel that impuno ... we, the dkookkiezz kind of thing, poker-facey and all ... impulse.
Bluff and take it all. YEAH!!
@@michaelpinkston4628 There's no doubt he moved the gate house to the left of where the party would like it to be or where it would be without him.
He is not the final boss of the left movement, though. I will agree with you on that point.
Bernie is a gem. If only the "great unwashed" wouldn't vote against their own best interests, he'd have us in a much better place. A truly great man. God love you, Bernie.
If only is right,...it makes the road longer and rougher, but as my mother believed,...ever onward!
That was without a doubt the best, most professional interview of Sanders I've ever seen. Two adults talking.
As tho they were chatting without cameras.
Krishnan asked some excellent questions, this was a terrific interview and Sanders is very capable of handling himself as always
Bernie Sanders has a very impressive intellect and is on the correct side. I now have total respect for Bernie Sanders. I had not heard him speak at length before. A glimmer in the darkness.
Thank you @Bernie Sanders for setting the record straight. Everyday Americans are captives of the profiteering corporations and their Greed.
The case for Democracy is that we can have these conversations and participate in governance. The problem is corruption - not Democracy as a system of governance.
America isnt a democracy, its a constitutional republic.
If the US don't want him for president, then can we have him here in the UK as prime minister?
No, he’s just another Chomsky reader. Useful idiot.
yall didnt even want Jeremy Corbyn. your country is lost too
The US is in economic and geopoilitcal mess because of Biden's bad policies some of which Bernie Sanders supported. When Trump was in office, energy was very affordable, many people had money and the economy was thriving. People are going to vote for Trump because they have witnessed or experienced what he can do with the economy and foreign policy when he was President... Trump never started a single war yet under Biden, there are now three wars..in Yemen, Israel and Ukraine...Trump also did not nuke any country as they had claimed to scare voters before he was elected
Lol nah the US can keep this commie
yes cause socialism is the solution to....well nothing really
What an amazing man, pity he didn't get to be president.
This was an excellent interview with penetrating questions. Bernie had very good answers. I believe the huge wealth imbalance is hurting the middle and working classes which cannot afford a house, a college education for their kids nor healthcare which is getting too expensive.
Bernie should have been elected president somewhere along the line. Glad he is with the Democrats.
This entire world would have been a different place if Bernie was elected president. I am not being dramatic , everything America does, spreads to the other countries. When the rich become richer our lives get harder, USA under Bernie could have influenced that for better. This system of infinite growth in a finite world doesn't work and it's affecting everything we're trying to build for ourselves. Development and betterment of society shouldn't be conditioned by profit.
There would be no more genocide in Gaza if Bernie was president. This is why I volunteered my face off for him. The DNC caused a genocide. He's not perfect on the issue but he was by far the best we had.
Very much agreed.
There idiots in this world who do not deserve Bernie (or Corbyn). People have become corrupt trying to copy the corrupt
Gore, too.
@@socraticgambler Nope, not Gore the Energy Hog who used over ten times as much electricity as his neighbors. And no, that is not because of EV chargers, but luxuries such as Air Conditioning a poorly insulated Mini-mansion...
As someone who was raised as a blue-collar American, I too wonder why so many Americans put up with this sh*t.
We have always Loved Mr Sanders Here in Australia. God Bless everyone from New England , Vermont to Maine and thank you for caring for others. ❤❤😊From Lee .xxx
Yeah
You British?
If you want socialism then he’s your man. But he prefers Capitalism because he’s likes the money he earns, million dollar homes and expensive cars. He’s the liar and phony. America was better under Trump
Why?
He is a grifter who has done nothing but help to expand the power of the ruling class and his own prosperity by exploiting the wants and needs of the working class. He holds his popularity by the will the ignorant.
We as in you. The bloke is a political cuckold.
Thankyou Bernie for staying in and helping fight the good fight for the betterment of everyone.
Poor millionaire 6:05 Bernie big mouth little brain..
❤
😮 I agree with Sanders 100% to bad all the Senators don't support his position 😢
We here need to promote more progressives to run & win in local, state and federal politics!
Bernie may need to retire anyday now. What are we all going to do when THAT happens?
We need an army of Bernies.
I supported Bernie in both 2016 & 2020 but he abandoned us and lied about being Biden's friend while Biden treated him like the biggest cuck of all cucks.
Well, Bernie is WRONG!!!
Biden would END our democracy if we let him run again for four more years. It's all endless wars & catering for the wealthy.
NOPE!
We need Trump back to fight against those Corporate Democrats.
Biden is a dictator wannabe, lifelong corporatist and a closeted republican.
Biden's handlers, Obama & Hillary, are destroying our country.
Here is an example to prove that Biden was NEVER for us Americans, but for the special interests.
Remember when Trump lowered the cost of insulin, and Biden immediately undid that? Then, when Biden had no choice but to re-implement that policy, he finely did, and then took credit for it? He probably don't remember, but we do!!!
Biden HAS to go because Biden is much more dangerous than Trump.
Thanks for this Bernie. You’re finding it difficult to say the G word but you have suggested that Biden should speak to Netanyahu to stop funding their weapons. That will do for me.
It's almost like he actually understands the situation better than the people repeating things from a bandwagon started by nefarious figures to sew dissent
I also agree, his policy and actions are what I care about, however not calling it the G word is clearly something he has hang ups on, and probably requires some serious self interrogation. For now, what matters is that Bernie sees the injustice and wants it to end as soon as possible.
I am still thinking about that . But I am so angry , I can't even express my rage over the absolute evil taking place in Gaza . But I remember too, why Isreal exists now .
@@katherinecrossman8521 Sykes, Pico, Balfour, and Zionists divided up the Ottoman Empire but the boundaries ensured perpetual war. Tribal religious wars were also spurred by Kissinger.
It not about the G word...it's about stopping this War....all wars.
Mr Bernie Saunders u are so right- while the world keep talking the dying continued- stop this immediately. May God bless ye Bernie
Dear ol' Bernie. Sharp as a tack and as vital as ever.
Excellent interview and very impressive information has been shared. Congratulations to Journalists/moderator!!!🎉❤🎉
Thank you for your words and your serenity, Bernie. This terrible war in Gaza has to stop immediately. It's shameful what is happening while the world is watching on. The possible longterm consequences of so many people, particularly children, left deeply traumatized because of the war, are still unimaginable and could affect us all. These people will need a lot of help.
it's a genocide. and it wouldn't be happening if the DNC had not cheated us. Reflect on how important primaries are. (and changing the US electoral system away from First Past The Post, but that's a tough hill to climb).
Bernie is perfect candidate for president, hes moral, experienced, and intelligent, for his age he's as sharp as a knife.
It will never happen unfortunately. Too much big money in the democratic party
He's moral except for Palestine...eff this dude. Eff all democrats and retrumplicans
Yes but the age ,need a young man with his understanding but the oligarchs in the USA or uk do not want.
for his age yes,and his age is much too old for a high office. american gerontocracy needs to stop, it's wrecking humanity.
I agree
He’s definitely the American president candidate the world at large would vote for, not for the actual results he’d get but for the principles.
I think Bernie has become more needed over time, there is no arguing with his morals, principles, knowledge and servitude to American citizens. That Katie Porter lost in California is a huge loss of more of the same.
Love you Bernie, thanks for coming to Channel 4 news!
Recall Citizens United.
Excellent Interview...Kudos to both men...
Bernie will never get elected but he runs circles around Trump and even Biden when it comes to discussing issues.
Bernie is right, in what he says and what he knows, how the American worker and poor citizens are suffering.
Notice how Biden and Trump are both older than Bernie, yet he’s the one who’s words actually make coherent sense. Would’ve been a better choice for president both times he ran.
Bernie is 82. He is the one who is older. He is maybe one of the most athletic over 80s you’ll meet and beats the little ones in his family playing pickup basketball.
Sanders is definitely way sharper than Biden or Trump.
Bernie was held back by those in the Democratic party who are influenced by corporate donors, (the Republicans unfortunately are even more influenced by big business). So it's a difficult situation, Biden administration still are kinder to the average person than the right, who just make everyone angry and deregulate so big business can get away with more.
Trump backs big business but pretends to look out for the common person. He repealed over 100 environmental laws when he was in power. Many allowing more pollutants into our water and air. Trump not only allowed factories to pump more pollutants into the air but to build closer to residential areas. Thats not a man that cares about the people.
So yes its a damn shame people with minds like Bernie Sanders get held back.
@@pallascat1743 unfortunately thats why he wasnt elected in my opinion, majority of the US cant even understand what he says, they're missing out on a wonderful president because they're just goofballs. we should be proud we're smarter than the average american
The US system is dominated by the Republican and Democratic Parties. Running as an independent Bernie, although very competent, was essentially outgunned by these two parties.
This old man is better than both old men ..the one in the office and the other one is trying to be in the office.. he is smart and well spoken
Bernie, l am a Canadian and l am very proud of you for your fight for whats right !
nice one krish great interview. i’m an irish/brit but v interested in US politics and i wanted bernie to win in 2016 & 2020. cannot believe how effective he is still at age 82 🤯
He is an effective communicator. But the old ruling class meme gets old.
@@sheilawade433 But it, the' oligarchs' of the West, are still there getting richer every day !
I'd still vote for Bernie 😊
I am so grateful that Bernie got me politically motivated and involved. His world view is incredible and accurate.
Good interview with a great American.
My opinion is this. When these bombs of adults kill children regardless of ethnicity, We are lost like the Nation😢😢
Both are equally comfortable with supporting tyranny and genocide, end of story!

DJT should just ‘enjoy his life’.
It doesn’t matter that he has no prospects of ever running for any sort of role in politics again (because he gets thrown in jail).
It doesn’t matter if his home gets seized and he’s on the streets.
It doesn’t matter that he’s in his mid 80’s and he’s left with no wife and kids (as they leave him).
As long he has ‘fun’ and banter whilst living in his tent with the other homeless people in NY..
Bernie is the most decent, eloquent, clear minded politician in the US. I wish there were many, many more like him.
Are you insane? He's already proven he is a piece of s*** sell out. He works for the establishment not the people. Damn dude wake up before it's too late seriously
become one
@-uf1dz not American. Been following American politics for decades, though.
become one in your country :)
Bernie Sanders is a sellout counter-revolutionary pro-establishment con man. He represents the establishment and the elite he only pretends to give a s*** about you. He don't
Why does the Media seem to ask such uninformed questions and seem blind to history and facts? Kudos Bernie!
If Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich teamed up, they coul cover the Truths in politics, economics, and human rights.
I have learned so much from them❣️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾☑️🗳️💙❣️
The only American politician with sense and sensibility!
100%
Didn't realise he was a Jane Austen fan XD
tied with Lauren Boobert in the eyes of americans
Where is democracy in the US.? Answer me that.

Bernie Sanders is a global citizen.
The thing I love about Bernie Sanders is that he is just a straight-up decent and rational human being. That's all I want as a President. That is, quite literally, all I want.
🌺🌺🌺
Only brilliant and honest politician in the world. Only one who really cares about the everyday person. Bless you Bernie Sanders.
🌺🌺🌺
I love Bernie. He is a few politicians whom I still have respect for, such a great man. ❤
Then you love the fact that, until recently, he was IN FAVOUR of funding, facilitating, aiding, abetting, Israel's GENOCIDAL policy, in favour of upholding Israel's tyranny, even arguing Israel has the right to defend itself....AGAINST CHILDREN!!!
my exact thoughts throughout this!
@DG-ie5ip Good for him. The jobs he had were not meant to be, leave him alone. Beyonce has 🐝raves, and I am Bernievetes.
Ditto, it’s a shame he is so extreme in some of his views. If he could find the middle ground he would be my choice for President!
He is totally passed it and should shut up . What a state the country is in under the crooked Democrats .
How hard it is to induce the young to be concerned with all the terrible news of the world when it’s their right to educate themselves and enjoy life… and yes, we all most be aware but it’s making us sick. I’m 87 Bernie and terribly sad, when I hear you I have a feeling of hope. May God help you and bless. ❤️

Krishnan Guru-Murthy is really growing on me as an interviewer; he's matured quite a bit in his role over the decade(s?).
He worked with Jon Snow who was one of the best journalists out there. Jon saw people as human beings.

@@henyosdilly8999agreed. I thought I’d miss him more but KGM really has taken over his mantle.
I feel Hope and a massive burden lifted from my chest, when I hear Mr. Bernie.
Thank you Sir, and God bless you and your family
How far does "hope" get you? It's not much of a strategy.
In a democracy, the people should be voting on issues. We are not allowed to vote on issues.
Bernie , I wish these horrible wars in the middle east , could by stopped , by encouraging the impossible . Making everyone realize that everyone has a right to their own religious beliefs .and need to share the world with eachother . So everyone can have someplace to call home .
And then maybe one reason wars are fought , in the name of God , could be eliminated . The other reason for war , greed would probably take more work .
This is the great man of our modern era
People are turning away from mainstream news because they're sick of being lied to.
Exactly
Two honest questions. How do you define "mainstream news"? It is a very broad, fluid category. And if MSM is not trustworthy where should one go for news?
Communists are liars
@@aquelpibe Good question, here is a report from alternative media on mainstream or legacy media you may find interesting. th-cam.com/video/n7hdbgzd6D4/w-d-xo.html
So instead they are being lied to by a multitude of different independent media sources who don't have to adhere to any standard of impartiality.
What a man what a politicians, people president. That’s why establishment don’t want him a president
Excellent interview! Bernie speaks simply and profoundly.
Best, most rational and sane politician in the media globally, and for some reason, he doesnt get voted for.
The reason is he is against the ruling class. 😅
What a competent, articulate, no-nonsense human. And what a simple way to change the world: redistribute wealth.
Too late. The poor are too poor and the rich are too rich for that to happen. I'm waiting for you know who to return.

Year after year, the top earning corporations in the US paid at effective federal rates lower than someone making $12,000 annually. Sometimes these corporations' effective federal taxes is less than zero BECAUSE WE GIVE THEM MONEY in rebates and tax breaks. The top 5 companies in the US paid their executives more money in salary than they paid in corporate federal taxes. It's insane. It's actual insanity.
Bernie is just a good guy man. Yeah I've got my issues with him but at the end of the day his concerns are always about working people. You never hear him going on about himself and how smart he is like some idiot politicians do.
As long as the ruling class decides who could be the candidates in president elections, you have no chance to change anything.
Is it me or Bernie is getting better by the year? Like a good French wine. Or maybe they are doing so little in Congress right now that he's in radiant shape.
Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this very informative content cheers Frank 😊
Bernie sanders should be president of usa...!!!..hes so decent , elocuent , smart , experiensed, kind , thats what USA needs .....!!!!
The media is very very powerful and they have been lying more and more - British people should understand bc Brexit happened the same way
Sen Sanders is the type of leader the world needs . He speaks to virtue, morals, decency and the needs of humanity . He's aware, experienced, and driven . Such true leaders are rare .
its okay to be angry about genocide and words do matter !
Yes but its easy to get lost in semantics so if he thinks avoiding a certain word enables him to be more effective at trying to protect innocent people isnt that the actual point??
Politics is an ugly game. You cant go arround alienating potential allies willy nilly. I think hes doing what he believes will best enable him to make meaning changes.
@@sydlawson3181at this stage i feel we r past the point.
It's also OK to notice Hamas begs for war then hides behind their wives and children.
Words only matter for people who did not go true alot in life. On top of that it is about how you say things not what you say.
"Genocide" may not be the best word for ending the violence.
Such good news that there are more and more progressive representatives- I did not know that and it gives me hope

Uncle Bernie is one of the best leaders of our time and the fact America snoozed on him twice is a war crime against the American dream imho no more billionaires please
Wonderful interview. Bernie Sanders illuminates us all with his wise words and experience!
Such a great politician
Excellent. So good to hear from Bernie. Still Berning here. Let’s get out that vote. Conversations that are not knotty, please bcz you can bring a horse to water but surely can’t make it drink. Don’t waste valuable time and peace of mind trying to do that. Wish them well and move forward. 👍👍
Bernie has honed his communication skills to a very fine point. The ignorance of American people prevents the real progress Bernie represents
I'm from Utah, a Republican state, but I consider that Bernie Sanders represents me. Thank you, Senator.
He is the best interviewer I have ever seen. He is excellent at challenging the respondent's arguments.
LOL OK HAHAHAHA
3:30 I love how Bernie practically said nah chief don't get it twisted, he barely won last time XD
Well spoken, Bernie. Sane, humane, and age certaining dimming his abilities of leadherships, in or outside of politics, A man many Americans love, value,...hope he knows it!
What an intelligent man..
Sad how people ignore his potential just because he isn’t hawking golden shoes.
It's not enough to re-elect Biden.. there needs to be a majority in Congress and the Senate in order to get anything done.
As a 64-year-old white woman who has been a citizen of the United States all my life, I've long thought that the problem with the United States is that we do not have a parliamentary system. That means we're stuck with our two-party system because no candidate other than a Democrat or a Republican is ever going to win a presidential election, especially as campaign expenditures have grown astronomically. Independents and socialists like Bernie Sanders, as well as progressive Democrats currently serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, do not hold enough seats to really change things. Particularly in the Republican Party, their extreme right-wing members of what's called the "Freedom" Caucus function as a thorn in the side of the Republican leadership, because they can block legislation with only a few votes because the partisan balance is so close. Conversely, progressive Democrats in the House have more ability to influence the president and the Democratic leadership, although not as much as I think they'd prefer to have, and they don't usually act as roadblocks. Because of their tactics, progressives can sometimes move legislative actions a little more in the direction they prefer.
However, in a parliamentary system with a close leadership race like our current presidential campaign, these outlier groups and politicians would have greater power because they could form new parties with which the major parties would have to form coalitions if they want to win either an election or a legislative battle.
For example, we've long had a Green Party in the United States but they've never gotten out of the single digits in national election results. They could have far more influence, and I daresay a lot more citizens on their side, in a parliamentary system.
I personally voted for Green Party candidate Ralph Nader in two different general elections. The first was while I lived in the District of Columbia and worked as a Democratic staffer in the U.S. House of Representatives. Because of the heavily Democratic-leaning political dynamics in the District, I knew that I could vote for Green Party candidate Ralph Nader without risking Republicans winning any of D.C.'s three electoral votes. Plus, I was trying to help the Green Party get a higher placement on future ballots by getting a specified percentage of the vote, which I think was l 5% vote. I can't recall for certain what year that was, but it might have been for President Clinton's reelection in 1996. My vote for Nader did not affect his victory!
And in 2000, I moved to Athens, Georgia to go to graduate school. It was pretty much the same situation but in reverse! I strongly supported Democrat Al Gore for president and thought Republican George W. Bush would be the worst president ever! (I thought he was until Trump came along!) But at that point, Georgia was so heavily Republican that every statewide poll showed Bush leading Gore by 15 to 20 percent. All through my first semester in grad school. I watched the polls like a hawk and spent way too much time watching political news on TV because I wanted to know if it would be safe to vote for Ralph Nader and the Green Party - meaning that it wouldn't affect Al Gore's chances of winning the presidency. I ended up doing just that, knowing that Bush would take all of Georgia's electoral votes regardless of how I voted. Too bad people in Florida did the same thing but were apparently not as thoughtful about what they were doing by voting Green.
And then I couldn't believe the whole recount mess, which meant that I took more time away from my studies for another month!
Bernie must have been referring to Noam Chomsky when he said "there are people over 90 who are writing great books".
Love Bernie.
You British?
Thank you Mr. Sanders for your beautiful soul and we wish that you had the chance of running America 🇺🇸 for a while back when you could make a huge change. Things hopefully will be moving your way with the new generation who will probably share your ideas. G-d Bless you forever! 🤲
Too late too little, it seem they are coming out after all the destruction already took place. Shame on them, the people will not forget nor forgive.
An excellent conversation/interview. My unlikely wish for a US president/vice president combination would be Bernie Sanders and Arnold Schwarzenegger, or vice versa. I think that although they are in different houses, there is a remarkable similarilty in their ideologies. Arnie of course is currently ineligible for the presidency as he was not born in the USA; but hey nothing is forever.
