Getting to Know Bernie Sanders | The Daily Show

Bernie Sanders has become famous for being the guy who fights millionaires and billionaires. Hi, I'm Bernie Sanders, I'm running for president. Our campaign is about taking on the powerful special interests that dominate our economic and political life. I'm talking about Wall Street. the health insurance companies the pharmaceutical companies the fossil fuel industry the military-industrial complex the private prison industry and large multinational corporations oh damn no Bernie has entered the race and you got his list of enemies this guy doesn't lose his time yeah he didn't come to play it was like big bags little bags Tyra Banks I'm shutting you all down and you can tell Bernie is serious about winning because he didn't rub his hair with a balloon before filming this video he speaks in seriously now he's on it no balloons this time let's smoke now if Bernie won the presidency he would become the oldest American president yeah and I mean he was literally born a few months before George Washington but but Don't let the Bernie's age fool you, this guy is as feisty as ever, just look at how he responded when Howard Schultz threatened the Democratic Party.

Howard Schultz has now said that he would not run as an independent if Democrats moderate. How did Schultz do it on every television? solution in this country why are you quoting Howard Schultz because he is a billionaire? Yeah, I've missed Bernie so much, are you kidding me? I always beat dad. That's good, wow. Oh God, that's good, because any other politician would respond to that onsen like a politician anyway. We like that a lot, I think that if Howard Schultz enters the race he would be responsible for the sunburn, it is as if Howard Schultz could run for president of my country, Bernie Sanders, senator from Vermont and the man who

know

s the ducks in the park From his name, you see, there are thirty.

Years ago, when Bernie Sanders was mayor of Burlington, Vermont, he hosted a public access television

show

, yes, and a few days ago, TV Network posted the entire archives online and I'm talking hours and hours of pure Bernie gold as If there was so much gold. In these files, Bernie is going to demand that it be redistributed to the working class, that's how much gold there is and when you start looking at these images, the first thing that's really evident is how consistent Bernie has been throughout his life. , we have a crisis situation, we are one We are one of two nations in the industrialized world that does not have a national health care system.

The richest people in our country are

getting

richer by a large amount. The tax system in this country is extremely unfair and that's what I asked the workers and the elderly and the poor pay too much while the big corporations and the rich don't pay their fair share. Damn Bernie Sanders, he has never changed and I was talking about his platform. The guy looks exactly the same back then as he does today. You realize that he is 46 years old. I'm not kidding in that photo, he's 46 years old, he looks the same as if you traveled back in time in a time machine and the first person you met was Bernie Sanders, you'd say this piece doesn't work.

I am going to say no, my friend, what is not working is our health system. I wonder if Bernie has seen himself as if this is his entire life. Yeah, I bet when he was born, the doctor said, "Congratulations, ma'am." Sanders, he's a beautiful, healthy old man, well made, and then instead of spanking Bernie, the doctor just shook his hand, welcome to the world, sir. Sanders, welcome to Ross. I don't

know

, it seems impressive that Bernie has been consistent in his policies. He actually says more about America than Bernie, when you think about it he's saying the same thing for 30 years because America has had the same problems for 30 years, but this is what makes this old TV

show

so amazing.

It wasn't just about Bernie's policies, it was like a whole TV show with different segments and by far the best segments of all the ones he was on. with kids, okay, like this segment where he talks to some kids at camp about drugs, who knows about cocaine, has anyone seen cocaine, hold it one at a time, what's up with the cocaine, something good, something bad, how about even smoking cigarettes? His smokes, let me, come on. raise your hand well apart from your parents who smokes you already have your cigarette ready I have seen many 12 and 11 year old children smoking okay we need a five year old dog who is so adorable I don't smoke because I am five years old like it's almost as if Bernie couldn't distinguish between children and adults because I left out talking about finances, you diversified, who has a 401k, who was the 401k, who talks about cocaine with five year olds, like the way he asked the question.

He made it sound less like an anti-drug talk and more like he was trying to pull some punch, it's like you guys know about cocaine or you know I can find it for a good price, come on, this is Vermont, let's hit the slopes, come on, come on. on the Hilma show Bernie not only talked to the kids about hard drugs, he also called them out for their BS, let me ask you a question, what's your name? Yeah, okay, George, do you think it's important that you know how to read well? write oh you think not, oh really, I'm trying to argue with these kids, they think they're really smart and school isn't important, yeah, okay, I don't agree with you, I think you're dumb, oh wow, i think.

This kid is about to get his ass kicked by Bernie Sanders and let me know that when you come back from that and Bernie kicked your ass, you have to move to a different state and you still know you're just one guy, and you're like, Hey, didn't you get your 90-year-old Beulah spanked her ass. She was only 46. I swear, but by far my favorite clip of everything we found is when a girl asks Mayor Bernie to build an amusement park in her neighborhood and suddenly he turns around. I turned it into a town hall. He asked me.

My mother had this idea for music. An indoor outdoor amusement park. The first thing we have to do before we can do something like that is make sure that we own the land which is one of the concerns we have right now, we don't own much of the land on the hill in the center, it is property of the railroad and one of the things we are trying to do now is determine what land we should buy and how much we should pay for it, so we are working on that, but I think your mother's idea is a very good idea and I congratulate you for give her all these good ideas, that girl is my hero because she was asking a funny question and Bernice spinning it's like a TED talk on zoning laws and you can tell she totally aced it oh, that was crazy oh, you know, What's also crazy is that girl grew up and became Hillary Clinton, I don't know. whether it was CNN or whether it was the late-night format, but Bernie Sanders in particular seemed ready to take Jake down.

Your question is a Republican talking point. What do you say to Congressman Delaney? You're wrong, maybe you did that and made money. outside of healthcare, but our job is to run a non-profit, help them establish if we are going to force Americans to make these radical changes, they won't accept, raise your hands, but damn, Bernie wasn't kidding tonight. Um, yeah, I thought he was going to send someone to the hospital and then pay the entire bill. He was the great drama that preceded this night. It was the growing tension between America's socialist sweethearts, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

It started when Bernie's campaign started saying that Warren only attracts wealthy, well-educated voters and in response Elizabeth Warren fights back and is now full of meat mitts Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders trade accusations before the Democrats' final debate before As voting begins in Iowa, that inter-party non-aggression pact to progressives certainly appears to have ended the campaigns now fighting over a private conversation in 2018 when Sanders allegedly told Warren that a woman can't win. Sanders denies the claims and calls the idea that he would say a woman can't win ridiculous, but then Warren contradicted. he publicly thought a woman could win she said she didn't agree the feud between

bernie

and warren must be like watching your parents get divorced you know what a situation

bernie

is too blunt to handle delicately can you imagine it being like dad , it's my It's my fault that you and mom don't love each other anymore, like we're happy and then you do the math, Bernie Sanders' former allies in Elizabeth Warren, the two senators, are working on some issues they had right now after . the debate in which Senator Warren left Bernie Sanders hanging while he tried to shake her hand, followed by a brief but noticeably tense exchange Tom Schneider is deciding I'm not going to get into the middle of all this too late.

Wow, what a problem. between Bernie and Warren it's

getting

really heated and you know what that means trial by combat, that's how they do it. The New York Times is the most trusted newspaper in the country and the one America turns to for news until they run out of free articles brought to them by the newspaper's editorial board. on each candidate for long interviews that they then released to the public, it was great because we were able to learn a little more about all the candidates, for example, we learned that if you are having a surprise birthday party, don't have Bernie attend. planets, where are you likely to fail or do poorly as president?

Look, I don't tolerate it very well and I come from a different background than many other people who run the country, I'm not good at patting you on the back, I'm not good at joking if you have your birthday I won't call you to congratulate you using the name of love are nice things about me that's not what I never have I know it in Ikea not in yours I take it as a bit of self-criticism I have been surprised by the number of people who respond to happy birthday Oh, Bernie, thank you very much for calling, You know it works, it's just not my style, damn, Bernie Sanders doesn't waste time, the question was what would you be bad at? as president and his response somehow turned into a birthday, I feel like Bernie should just start his own line of Hallmark cards and it's just a white sheet of paper that says what Alva is, it's almost, it's almost insa, I feel like Larry David impersonated him on SNL so now Bernie is impersonating Larry in real life you know that's how it is and why and why do we do this uh why do we keep blowing out candles?

You know what you know what my desire is to eat a piece of cake without your spit, how about that? What if grumpy old white guys have been telling us for years that socialism is total? Socialism leads to decline and ruin. This system crushes human souls, but as the Daily Show's new senior youth correspondent, I know that Millennials right now think socialism is totally cool if there's only someone we can talk to, someone with deep expertise on the subject. When I started doing this kind of article about socialism, I knew there was really only one politician I can talk to about the topic, so I guess my question is: you?

I know a real OSI and what her capabilities are if you could go any time you wanted to talk to her. Yeah, maybe I thought you seriously know that you can't talk about socialism in America without going to Senator Bernie Sanders that I believe in. a society where all people do well that's just a handful of Could I be America's oldest millennial? You know capitalism has given us a lot of really dumb things, right, iPhones, cars, hamburgers, The Avengers movies, the opioid crisis, so why are there young people like me? very open to socialism your generation the younger generation will most likely have a lower standard of living than their parents your generation is leaving school with more debt it will be much harder to find affordable housing the jobs you get will pay less so that the idea of ​​creating a society with more egalitarianism, I think it is very attractive for young people, okay, yes, yes, I think that in Bern it is strange to be in a position where in 2016 you were the insurgent candidates, you knew that you were leading a political revolution, but now you're entering the race as a favorite, does that feel different to you?

Are you going to do things differently this time or does it feel different? And what happened is that four years ago forever the ideas that we talked about about the idea that health care is a human right, not a privilege, four years ago was perceived as a radical idea. Gone is the idea that if you work 40 hours a week in this country you should make at least $15 an hour and not live in poverty. then you're done, why run the small problem we have to confront an incredibly powerful establishment that largely controls the economic and political life of this country?

And when we talk, you know, our campaign mantra is not me, we. and thereason is to take on Wall Street to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and the insurance companies and if you want to save the planet you are going to have to take on the fossil fuel industry, and that means millions of people are going to have to stand up and fight in a way we have never done before and that is what this campaign is about. You have been proud to say yes. I think we need to adjust the way people make money in this country and how people pay taxes, yeah, Trump is now using this as an insult against you, calling you a socialist, you know, saying it means we'll all have to drive battery cars. and sharing a road, but what does that mean to you? question thank you for asking does it mean that economic rights are human rights I believe from the bottom of my heart that healthcare is a human right I believe that in the richest country in the history of the world we should not have a tax system that allows Amazon, owned by the richest man in the world, paid zero in federal taxes last year after making eleven billion dollars in profits that's crazy being a democratic socialist means we believe human rights include a decent job affordable housing healthcare education and By the way, a clean environment means that we cannot allow our children to grow up in an increasingly unhealthy and uninhabitable environment.

We have to take on the fossil fuel industry and move towards energy efficiency and sustainable energy.
