We will need the highest voter turnout in the history of the United States, Mr. Bloomberg had stop and frisk policies in New York City that persecuted African Americans and Latinos in an outrageous manner. That is not a way to increase voter turnout when our movement is about bringing in working class people. bring together whites and blacks and Latinos Native Americans Asian Americans around an agenda that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and that agenda says maybe we should join the rest of the industrialized world to guarantee health care to all people like a Human rights raise that minimum wage to a living wage of $15 an hour and have the courage to stand up to the fossil fuel industry because their short term profits are not more important than the future of this planet and the need to combat the climate. change those are some of the reasons we have the strongest campaign to defeat Donald Trump if talking about the needs in pain of a long-neglected working class is polarizing.

I think you got the word wrong, what we are finally trying to do is give a voice for people who after 45 years of work do not earn a cent more than they did 45 years ago; We are giving a voice to people who say we are tired of billionaires like mr. Bloomberg is seeing huge expansions of his wealth while half a million people sleep on the streets tonight and that's what we're saying. Pete maybe it's time for the working class of this country to have a little power in Washington instead of their billionaire campaign contributors, uh, we have over ten point six million people on Twitter and 99.9 percent Hundreds of them are decent human beings, hard-working people, people who believe in justice, compassion and love, and yes there are some people who make ugly comments that attack unions. leaders, I disavow those people, they are not part of our movement, well let me also say that I hope my friends here agree is that if you look at the wild west of the Internet, talk to some of the African American women in my campaign. talk to Senator Nina Turner, talk to others and find out about the vicious racist sexist attacks that are also coming, so I hope we all understand that we must do

everything

It's about issues, it's about fighting for working families and the middle class, it's not about vicious attacks on other people, Senator, when you say that you repudiate these attacks and that you didn't personally direct them, I think you both know what you mean. es, but at least At some point, you have to ask yourself why this pattern arose. Why is this especially the case among your followers? I don't think that's actually the case. It's simply not true. Look, people know people if you want to talk to some of the women. In my campaign, what you will see are the ugliest racist, sexist attacks.

I would even describe them here, they are so disgusting and let me say something else about this not being too paranoid. We all remember 2016 and what we wanted to say. Remember the efforts of the Russians and others to try to interfere in our elections and divide us. I'm not saying that's happening, but I wouldn't be surprised. I saw some of those tweets about the Culinary Workers Union. I am 100% 30 years old. Record of voting in favor of the Union, do you think I would support or that someone supports me with the attacking union leaders? You can't imagine that there are some Democrats who really like you, but are worried that this Medicare for All plan is going to eliminate private insurance and that it goes too far.
Are they right? No, let me be very clear on two points. For a hundred years, from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama, this country has not talked about the need to guarantee health care to people and yet today, despite spending twice as much per capita Chuk It is twice as much as any other major country in the world. We have 87 million uninsured or underinsured people. We have more than 60,000 people who die every year because they do not go to the doctor on time. Greed is scandalously scamming us. and the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry, which in some cases charges us ten times more for the same medications due to their pricing.
Five hundred thousand people go bankrupt every year because they can't pay their medical bills, so let me be very clear for my sake. friends of the Kitchen Workers Union in a great union. I will never sign a bill that reduces the health care benefits they have, we will only expand them for them, for all unions in America and for the working class of this country, one way or another Canada can provide them. Universal healthcare for all your people is half the cost. The UK can do it. France can do it. Germany made all of Europe do it.
Somehow or another, we are the only important country in the world. They can't do it. Because? and I'll tell you why it's because last year the healthcare industry made a hundred billion dollars in profits, the pharmaceutical industry, the top six companies, sixty-nine billion dollars in profits and the co-CEOs are contributing to Pete's campaign and other campaigns, akhiya, let's get this straight. perhaps the time has finally come for us to say as a nation and there is not enough, the function of a rational healthcare system is not to enrich the pharmaceutical industry and pharmaceutical companies, but to provide healthcare to all people as a human right and vice president 3 out of prison there are no clients they have no deductibles well, I think they did let me tell you what happened in the first place, you are right and thank you Las Vegas for the excellent medical care I received at the hospital for two days.
And I think the area that maybe Mayor Bloomberg and I share is that you also have two stents five years ago, well, we both have two stents, it's a procedure that's done about a million times a year, so we published the complete report of that heart attack, secondly, we published all of my 29 years on Capitol Hill, the assistant position, my entire medical history, and in addition, we published reports from two prominent Vermont cardiologists who described my situation and, by the way, who

said

that Bernie Sanders is more. that able to deal with the stress in the vigor of being president of the United States, they follow me throughout the election campaign, three, four or five events a day, see how you do compared to me twice as much, let's level the people under your plan, which is a maintenance continuation of the status quo that's yes, I can finish the average American today pays $12,000 a year that's what that family pays 20% of an income of 60,000 $12,000 the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs The other day an important study by the Yale epidemiologist appeared in Lancet, one of the most important medical publications in the world, what my friends

said

is Medicare for all, it will save four hundred and fifty billion dollars a year because we are the absurdity of thousands of separate plans that require hundreds of billions of dollars of administration and, by the way, ending the hundred billion a year in drug company profits planned here, you know, we talk about electability and everyone here wants to be Trump and we talk of stop and frisk and we talk about the workplace that Mayor Bloomberg has laid out the problems that exist, but maybe we should also ask ourselves how Mayor Bloomberg in 2004 supported George W.
Bush as president, poured money into Republican Senate candidates of the United States when some of us, Joe and I and others, were fighting for Democrats to control. the United States Senate and David talking about work maybe we can talk about a billionaire who says we shouldn't raise the minimum wage or we should cut Social Security Medicare and Medicaid if that's a way to beat Donald Trump. Wow, I'd be very surprised if you wanted to. a complete ban on natural gas drilling, no fracking for the next five years, the industry obviously supports many jobs across the country, including thousands in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, a U.S. civil servant said. unity there to the New York Times quote if we are done I agree with a Democratic candidate who supports the ban on fracking.
I'm going to tell my members that, either they don't vote, they vote for the other, what do they say to these workers? You're supporting a huge industry right now, sir, what I'm telling these workers is that scientists are telling us that if we don't act incredibly boldly within the next six and seven years, irreparable damage will be done not just in Nevada. , not just in Vermont or Massachusetts, but all over the world. Joe said he was right, this is an existential question. threat, you know what that means, Chuck, that means we are fighting for the future of this planet and the new green deal I support will create up to 20 million good-paying jobs as we shift our energy system away from fossil fuels for Efficiency energy and sustainable energy.
This is a moral issue my friends, we have to take responsibility for ensuring that the planet we leave to our children and grandchildren is a healthy and habitable planet, which is more important than fossil fuel profits. industry, you know when we talk about a corrupt political system bought by billionaires like mr. Bloomberg, it manifests itself in a tax code in which not only Amazon, in many of them it is the main cooperation, some owned by the richest people in this country, does not pay a penny in taxes, but we have the crazy situation in which today's billionaires, if you can believe it, have a lower effective tax rate than the middle class, so maybe just the tax code, why are you complaining?
Republicans Wehling: OK, and so is George W. Bush, we have a grotesque and immoral distribution of income wealth. Mike Bloomberg owns more wealth than the poorest 125 million Americans. That's wrong, it's immoral, it shouldn't be like this when we have half a million people sleeping on the streets where we have children who can't afford to go to college, when we have 45 million people dealing with student debt, this country is facing huge problems. and we cannot continue to see a situation where the last three years The billionaires of this country have skyrocketed with an increase of eight hundred and fifty billion dollars in their wealth.
Congratulations Mr. Flourish but the average American last year so less than 1% increase it's our income that's wrong thank you it's my policy and I'm very proud of that policy okay what we need to do to To deal with this grotesque level of income and wealth inequality is to make sure that working people know what Mr. Bloomberg says it wasn't you who made all that money, maybe your workers played some role in that too and it's important That those workers can share the benefits also when so many people go to work every day and do not feel good in their jobs, they feel like cogs in a machine.
I want workers to also be able to sit on corporate boards so they can have a say in what happens in their lives. Senator Sanders. Our latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released yesterday. Two-thirds. Of all the voters said that they felt uncomfortable with a socialist candidate for the presidency. What did you tell those voters, sir, what was the result of that survey that was gaining impressions. Questions to you. Well, the question was that I was winning and I think that for a fairly comfortable margin difference I could mention that, but here's the point, let's talk about

democratic

socialism, not communism, mr.
Bloomberg, that's a low blow, let's talk about democracy, let's talk about what's happening in countries like Denmark, where people correctly pointed out that they have a much higher quality of life in many ways than we do. What are we talking about? We live in many ways in a socialist society right now the problem is like dr. Martin Luther King reminded us that we have socialism for the very rich, rugged individualism for the poor, wait a second Donald, let me finish when Donald Trump gets eight hundred million dollars in tax breaks and subsidies to tie them to the construction of condominiums ofluxury, that is socialism for the rich.
Wall thought we had to subsidize Walmart workers who receive Medicaid and food stamps because the richest family in America pays starvation wages that socialism for the rich I believe in

democratic

socialism for workers, not billionaires, health care for all educational opportunities, well the process includes 500 superdelegates in the second vote, so I think the will of the people will prevail. Yes, thank God, those people should be covered by my fortunately, as among other groups, the Latino groups saw that the bill had slavery-like provisions, Joe, but the bottom line is all of us are united to defeat the president most dangerous in the modern history of this country that we agree with but we don't agree on, I think that's why today we are the only major country in the world that does not guarantee healthcare to all people. why three people have more wealth than the bottom half of America when 500,000 people sleep on the streets why hundreds of thousands of bright young people can afford to go to college and forty-five million remaining student debt The movement top down never happens from an oligarchy controlled by billionaires we need to mobilize millions of people to defend justice, that is our campaign join us at Bernie Sanders calm down, thank you, thank you forBy watching this video from NBC 4 New York, you can subscribe by tapping the button below me and on the left you can see our latest updates, investigations and digital exclusives, see you next time.
