contributor Grace Parra and once again, let's welcome presidential candidate Bernie Sanders if everyone at home joins our conversation right now on Twitter on the late night show using the hashtag tonight, okay, tonight we're going to do things a little differently instead of you're breaking a news story for us all to discuss our topic tonight it's you Bernie well I know something about them okay now Bernie they've actually criticized you as a word maybe too harsh for being too nice to Hillary during the debate like no real people who said you've been too much of a gentleman do you think you have to be a president to be president haha ​​I certainly hope not that's what the energy out there is like a rude energy why do you think people are responding? to that kind of energy in such large quantities right now because people are angry, you know they're suffering, they're confused and someone like Trump comes along and says, well, you know who your enemy is, you know the cause of everything.

Your problems are Latinos or Muslims and we are going to deal with those problems and your life will be better. Well, that's old-fashioned demagoguery, it's a scapegoat that's been around for hundreds of years and we need to do everything we can. the move but not the left no we will say one thing is a woman who is angry and discouraging. I'm sure a lot of us up here make 78 cents on the dollar as men and not only that, but when you start breaking it down by minority. African American women make 64 cents and Latinas like me can expect to make 54 cents on the dollar and I'm not trying to make half of what you make so my question is what is hope? not just for women but specifically for minority women, so we can afford a damn explosion first thing, the first thing is not a total solution, but people who work 40 hours a week in this country should not live in the poverty, we are going to raise the minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour for the next 70 seconds Walgreens stance your question there is no rational economic reason why women should earn 78 cents on the dollar compared to men it is simply sexism and we will approve , we will pass legislation that requires pay equity for women, period and the discussion I love that answer you know what that does Larry, that's a big deal because if you raise the minimum wage, you know, pay equity for women, there are millions of single mothers, yes, who will benefit very significantly, they will be able to raise their children. with dignity and with safety in a way that they can't today, it's a big deal, well, I guess I mean, I guess a lot of people are wondering who you're applying to, potentially, if you would be looking for a job.

Please get on your knees, it'll be like Ben or Jerry, do you lean more towards one or the other? Well, you heard the expression of a chicken in every pot, yes, a bar of Jerry betting in every home, you think it's a path to victory. There are better juries like shouting. I mean, I'm just saying, I'm just saying that a lot of people would like that you would probably get together with someone whose name rhymes with Elizabeth Warren, would you ever hint at something that maybe too? The last time I was on your show you made me say I was thinking about Liz, let me tell you this Elizabeth Warren is a very good friend of mine.

I have known Elizabeth for a long time before she was in the Senate. She's a great United States senator, she's taken on Wall Street, she's taken on big money interests, so she's a, you know, she and I will work together. I talked about the notion of her span during I don't know if you guys have. I heard this Hispanic and during every presidential candidate wants the Latino vote, well guys I think a lot of presidential candidates have been taking serious breaks, even Hillary Clinton, in fact, last weekend she published an article on her website called seven ways that Hillary is like my grandmother, first of all, my Bella is dead, so you shouldn't be like that, but my question is, senator, how do you get the Latino vote without your fan?

I think you present a serious agenda that will benefit the Latino community and I think two things number one are the economy, as you know, many Latinos are struggling economically, so when we talk about increasing the minimum wage, you talk about pay equity for women , we talk about making public colleges and universities free when we talk about a trade policy that creates jobs in this country, not in low-income countries around the world, when we talk about all those things related to youth unemployment, which It is a very important problem within the Latino community, that is one thing and the second, obviously, is immigration reform.

We have 11 million undocumented people in this country and I have talked about Grace. I have spoken to many young people here who are concerned that their parents may be deported, so we must move toward a comprehensive immigration reform policy moving forward. people towards a path to citizenship and to the degree and I will tell you what else will be healthy, but don't think that you don't believe that building a wall is a way, oh my God, I know and I'm just going to know. and I think we have to use as president, I would use all the authority that I have through executive orders to do what Congress decides not to do, but the third thing that we have to do and this is really very important, we have to confront intolerance and the racism that we are hearing lately to suggest that we suggest that Trump has suggested that the Mexican government is sending people to this country who are rapists and criminals and drug dealers, this is disgusting, it is absolutely disgusting and then to start turning Muslims into scapegoats too, what we have to do is unite the people, the Krait, the country we are going to have, not the guy like that, okay, I have a two-part question here.

Ben Carson came out and said he stabbed someone, have you ever stabbed someone? Well, I probably should have gotten it out of the way, but at the end of the game, what would you, President Sanders, do in your first hundred days in office? What would be on your agenda in your first 100 days? What is the most important? What's on my agenda? introduce legislation that will make the richest people and largest corporations in this country start paying their fair share of taxes so we can create millions of decent-paying jobs, rebuild our crumbling infrastructure so we can create the kind of system of child care that working parents need so we can move toward making public colleges and universities free so we can expand social security instead of cutting it; many older people cannot achieve it;

In other words, we have to transform this country and understand there has been a massive transfer of wealth over the last 30 years from working families to the top tenth of 1%. We have to transfer that money back to work in those hundred days, in those hundred days, you, your man in Vermont. I know through Brooklyn, but I was going to say how much Fermata you're bringing to the White House, are we all going to have to drive a Subaru or a Subaru Forester? You know, I'm saying we're not that, but you. "I'll have to eat a lot of maple syrup.

This jacket to shake off the burn. We had a lot of young people in our audience today and you're really resonating with the youth movement. There's a movement that's happening. It's more than just feeling the burn." You're connecting, but there's something going on out there, why do you think it's okay? I've been thinking about that, Laurie. Honestly, you know, I don't really know, but I'll guess two reasons. I mean, it's you and Beyoncé basic running mate. Number one, many young people wonder how it is possible that today in the United States we have all this new technology and productivity.

How is it possible that, all things being equal, if we don't change things, they will have a lower standard of living than their parents, why do they drop out of school, why do they leave university deeply in debt, why Can't find jobs that match their education? So I think that's one of the reasons simple economics reason why they don't understand why the middle class is shrinking and they're being hit especially hard second answer I think it's the young people by definition or idealists yes, they want us to lead the world yes, we want us to lead the world in the fight against climate change Okay, this has moved me deeply.

They dislike racism and prefer that our institution compete here in this country. Know? Those are some of the topics we've been talking about. Yes, I honestly feel that a lot of young people don't realize all the bull in the games that goes into the, I'll call it the sublanguage that's underneath a lot of that bull, especially, yes, especially in and all the political discourse, you know, but this is a man who has the courage of his convictions if you want convictions if you want courage he will be the bird you you
