Bernie is a national treasure!
FALSE
Bernie is a parasite on our national treasure.
@@jeffhampton2767you are correct…he’s a global treasure. Thanks for pointing that out.
@@michaelbray109 Exactly President Trump is a global treasure. AMERICA AND THE WORLD IS MAGA ❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
He's a national sellout you mean.
Bernie's message hasn't changed in years. It's about time more people stood up to fight for their rights as employees. CEOs are making enough, shareholders are NOT more important than employees. United we stand!
They couldnt fight for Bernie in 2016 when he was cheated. They conformed. Thats why we are where we are now.
Yeah I'm a black man living in America I don't know what that means "United We Stand."
@@galemartin9155 Workers unite (unions).
Essentially what is happening is Corporate Fascism has created a system where your boss is so rich, he can buy up all the houses and farmland, and turn you and your children into slave/serfs, all in an open prison without walls with very little chance of escape.
Meanwhile Bernie says he's fighting for the small guy ....and unity is our strength....
Meanwhile he will back stab every supporter
Just like how he tucks tail and hides from Hillary even after it's exposed she was given debate questions in advance and guaranteed to win the primary no matter what according to emails between her, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and various others.
Bernie is still as sharp as ever and has never waivered from his positions. It's a shame we never got to see him in the White House.
I wish he would or could run again.
What a contrast with that senile war mongerer Joe Biden.
The true “owners” were NEVER gonna let that man get into a position that would threaten their money funnel, ever.
@@isetfires2913True. He had a lot of powerful people against him. It would have been a miracle if he was elected. I highly doubt he would have been able to pass much of what he talked about but just the idea of someone so level headed, caring and for the working class people, being our president would have been a beautiful thing.
while I agree with the sentiment, Bernie is in a far more effective position where he's at.. same with Warren
That jerk might as well have said'We need to remind people they're our slaves not equal human beings worthy of being paid a fair or comfortable wage they can live on.'
It was crazy to hear a real person, rather than a comic book villain, say that stuff.
That's capitalism in a nutshell.
Time for a new French revolution.
@@jmc_51+hon hon hon to kis neck indeed
The basic dynamic of true captailism is having a huge low paid workforce to make the rich even richer. President Lincoln didn't abolish slavery because he was a nice guy who sympathized with slaves...he just knew that in a modern economy in the post Industrial Revolution it would be WAY better for the economy to have tons of low wage workers who could contribute to the economy than millions of people who were working for free. That basic idea has never changed. That's why they brought all these illegal migrants in to work for low wages now
Poverty exists not because we can’t feed the poor, but because we can’t satisfy the rich!
PERFECTLY SAID, IMO.
Facts
It’s mostly because we stopped beating bad CEO’s to death in the middle of the night, in front of their families. But yeah that too.
Word!
Well put.
Love Bernie!
Too bad you couldnt stand up for him in 2016
He's good to listen to. And he just gets it.

American corporate greed is totally unbridal. It's literally price gouging the eyes out of the American consumers, and the politicians are allowing them to. It's so very wrong on so many levels. The only thing that is thriving in America is big corporate greed; workers are just being used, and in the end, they will have their benefits stolen from them.

As a union nurse just trying to put one foot in front of the other to make it to retirement day I thank my union and leaders like Bernie who stand up for us. When greedy corporations interfere with American healthcare and working class wages just to line the pockets of their shareholders and increase their bonuses, Democratic leaders should shout loudly to make it known they will fight for the 60% of working class Americans who vote.
Thats why big pharma and most mega corporations donate hundreds of millions of dollars to Democrats every election.
Thanks for your hard work. I worked to the point of exhaustion as an economic slave. I’m tired.
Voting only works in a REAL democracy.
I think unions are the way to go again, we have lost so much in the last 40 years. No more using the people and making us lose all the time. The middle class has lost everything!
"their bonuses, Democratic leaders should shout loudly"
==
Do you mean corporate-democrat, Biden, Harris, Pelosi etc.?
They work for the donors, not for us the everyday people.
You still don't know it?
So disgusted and sick to death with corporate greed!!!! Workers deserve a living wage. CEO's make crazy compensation. STOP THE GREED!!!!!
NO publicly listed company CEO should be paid more than 50 times the lowest paid employee of their company. (That is TOTAL renumeration package, salary, shares, benefits, EVERYTHING)
Do you have any specific examples? Shouting "corporate greed!" isn't an argument.
Imagine making $50,000 a year for attaching a bolt. LOL
THE UAW MEMBERS ARE OVERPAID AND LAZY!
@@joewearsadroolbib7347imagine knowing anything about work conditions in industrial facilities.
It's not just corporate greed, there are many individuals driving these inequalities. The greed factor is off the scales and must end.
I stand with the UAW. I stand with the working people of America. And, as always, I stand with Bernie!
Bernie - kicked out of a commune because he didn't like work. Couldn't even rent an apartment after he was elected mayor because his credit was non-existent.
Wife Jane killed a college in Burlington. What a pair of grifters.
Me too!
UAW will bankrupt the big three and all will be out of jobs
@jamesrkarolchyk1440 I agree!
I used to love Bernie. I have come to realize that the main thing about him that differs from the others is what he says and the words he uses. Otherwise he is not really any different. He’s part of the machine.
UAW!!!!!! My father was a UAW worker who worked his way up in the union to support all he knew and worked with, We lived through strikes, helped families. Our family home was hit with slit tires, horrible phone assaults, daily harassment and fear my mother felt to protect her children. He never gave up. He worked tirelessly not just for our family. So many came through strikes because my father gathered resources to have families remain positive toward what they deserved. Long Live the UAW . RIP Dad... Your work continues.
Bernie is right. Corporate greed is massively out of control. The extreme imbalance is disgusting!
Look into the amount of actual cash Apple has on hand. It’s disgusting
@@yukloop I agree, it is disgusting, but those are profits. Most of their workers are in a high income bracket, so it's not like they are screwing them over, like in this case. There are better reasons to hate Apple. Have you ever heard an Apple employee complain about executive pay being disproportionately high compared to the pay of the workers who generate all the profit?
@@yukloop they pay their workers very well
if only the democrat party would let him run for president
That's capitalism yo. It's not "greed" in the sense of individual personal vices, the "greed" is a natural and inevitable consequence of the inherent interests of a system which prioritizes profit.
Corporate greed needs to be the #1 story every night for weeks and months til it's not a problem anymore.

Just yesterday at work, a co-worker ranted about the executive pay over the autoworkers and saying how crazy and unfair it is.
When he finished I had one simple question- “why do you still vote Republican then?”
HELLO!!
Because they don't vote for policies they vote for values. You can literally give then a breakdown of all the laws and bills historically passed by the post Reagan GOP to assist the wealthy by screwing the poor and the middle class, and they won't care. They will never vote for the party associated with Atheists, LGBT, pro choice or pro immigrants. No way.

@@Gabedudley1 so u r a bernie bro. good for u.
@@peepobaba9220 and your conformed into a commie by power hungry establishment and state propaganda. Good for you
Bernie isn't just joining in. He's been leading this fight for economic justice for working folks for over 50 years.
All of these corporations seem to have forgotten a fundamental truth: *_Who is going to pay for goods and services if the majority can't afford it?_*
You can't run a consumer based economy if the majority can't afford to consume.
When they are at the top with all the money and no way to spend it all, will that money even have any value? Perhaps we'll have established a grey economy by then.
Henry Ford raised wages when it was pointed out to him that the men building his cars couldn't afford to buy one. Why can't today's CEOs understand that?
@@gmaallie2938That is a myth. He increased wages because he needed so many workers and needed extra pay to attract them.
AMEN 🙏
Bernie’s one of the only politicians I can think of who actually feels genuine when he speaks. We need more people of integrity and character in Congress.
Bernie is 83 and just now has a collective 3 mil net worth with his wife. Mary Barra, CEO of GM is 61 and has net worth of 39 mil due to owning 1,122,883 shares of her own GM stock. She has only been CEO for 9 years. It took Bernie a lifetime of actually publicly fighting for average Americans to get less than 1/10th of what Mary Barra got in 9 years.
People who can’t see this distinction make me sick.
Corporate greed has bought the Republican Party. American consumers and workers are one and the same. We have worked harder with less to show for our efforts. Join or support unions. 😉👍💙🇺🇸🕊 Vote blue and keep your eye on the people you elect to make sure they pass legislation that serves your interests.
So True !! 😤
You are dead right! I will never understand why any Union worker would vote for the crazy man Donald Trump who want to disband Unions, and take away their rights and freedom, One thing for sure, the republicans are not our friends, they love corporate greed, When I was Union President were I worked in 2015, I went to Washington and got a sure understanding from Congress, that the Republicans want the "Have and the Have Nots" "The Republicans intent was to destroy our Democracy" " and take away our Freedoms and Rights and replace our Democracy with a totalitarian Government. Everyone should take this as serious as the fresh air they breath because it's real and serious.
Agree but corporate Dems are not innocent in all of this either…
@@bradcarroll5834- Amen! Being beholden to owner donors is a HUGE bipartisan issue.
The Republican Party has ALWAYS been the party of corporations. I remember a quote from one of the 19th century oil or coal barons. He said, in response to workers demands for better pay, 'I don't owe them anything".
When the ceo gets a 400% pay increase an we have to fight for 5% thats wrong! I support the union if they strike 💯
Time for the CEO’s to meet some hemp twine!
The greedy rich have finally gone too far. Their recent outrageous profits they’ve been bragging about, at the expense of struggling Americans, is going to bite them on the butt. I honestly hope we bring them to their knees. We deserve better.
Everytime Bernie Sanders is on MSNBC, it gets very interesting. Bernie Sanders is a gift from God. Working families matter!
Everyone should be in a union. It is more important than ever to push back against these out of touch billionaires. We have had enough of their depravity. Join the union. Eat the rich.

the corporations have taken over EVERYTHING! we're no longer ruled by govt but by corporations who care nothing about human rights and have no respect for democracy or democratic values. capitalism is where democracy goes to die.
We need to remind our elected officials that THEY work for US, and not the other way around!
I'm so glad Bernie is getting more recognition for what he's been saying my whole life. He is proof that the US can thrive without a 2 party system. He shows that genuinely good people can rise to power in the US and actually represent the interests of the people who elected him *and the interests of the rest of the US and humanity.* The US is lucky to have someone like Bernie in their political sphere.
Right on, Bernie! There’s enough for all of us…

Is there room in Bernie's 3 mansions? Notice how Bernie stopped whining about "Millionaires" after he became a millionaire?
@@vulpsturm What "3 mansions?" He has a flat in Washington, DC (like most all Senators), a suburban home in Vermont, and a vacation home on a lake that was from funds inherited mostly from his wife's family.

Thank you, Chris, for giving Senator Sanders a platform in MSM. We don't hear half enough of Berrnie's progressive POV.
You're just not listening.
I would call it a humane point of view! That's just plain decent!
We hear enough of Bernie. In fact, that’s about all we get of Bernie. Shouting and lots of words. He’s just another wheel in the machine.
At this point in American politics far more could be done with a podcast, than a podium. Sanders should just address the nation directly, or do both. It's too corrupt, too imbedded ,to ever pass anything without massive public attention. No one, or even dozens of well intentioned politicians could make a difference.
Yes and the establishments/ corporations is their worst nightmare.
Good for you, Union Workers! As an American citizen, I applaud your courage in facing the evil, corrupt, and unbelievably greedy giant corporations and their CEOs.

Thanks MSNBC for giving MR Sanders the spotlight to address this issue. I wish we had more politicians like him who actually care about the American people who are struggling to keep the roof over their head, and keep food on the table for their families. We and others in our circle are wondering how long we will be able to survive as grocery prices rise ever higher, and our bills increase at a pace we can no longer keep up with.
I stand with the UAW and their auto workers in this struggle for what they want versus corporate greed. Thank God for unions! If it wasn't for unions, there's no telling what corporate greed would do to the average American worker. I also think that these companies should be more transparent about how much it cost to make their product versus how much profit they're making on it. Apparently the UAW knows this when he said that they could double their wages and not race, car prices and still make record profits!
True indeed. Big up, UAW, respect.👊🏽

Here in Canada, a decent F-150 is $70,000! You can't tell me Ford isn't making money on their biggest selling vehicle. Pay your workers a decent wage and price your stuff right.
Supposedly Ford wanted to offset large investments into EVs. That said, you should be able to get them for significantly less. I know CAD are not as valuable as USD, but here in the US, you can get F150s for about US$33,000 before incentives or negotiations. Of course, you have to order a low spec version, but who really cares about a lot of the stupid bells and whistles? That's my two cents. Of course, I care about the safety options and understand why some would spring for the F150 Lightning, but still I do not understand why people spring for so many extra options in some cases. If you are manual laborer, it may make sense to get some comforts like heated seats and heated steering wheels and massage, or whatever, but otherwise, what the heck?

The cost of corporate greed in this country is incalculable. The middle and working classes have been footing the bills and getting short-changed for decades. Every time there's a cost increase for ANYTHING...consumer products, groceries, medicines, you name it, middlemen and manufacturers pass that cost on to the public. How much do they raise their prices? We don't always know. But with our current inflation and the ridiculous and rip-off prices we are paying for all sorts of consumer goods, especially groceries, we can assume that many corporations are making a huge profit by raising prices far more than they need just to adjust for inflation. And don't even get me started on income taxes. Time for a reckoning!

I’m a union RN in southern Oregon with over a decade of dedicated service with my hospital system. We are currently in negotiations, and unfortunately they are not negotiating in good faith. They have hired the second most law firm in the country designed at breaking unions. The hospital system drags their feet and are late to meetings. They make negotiations difficult and will not go to a free location but rather a local hotel conference room that charges over $500 a day and then demand the ONA pay the fees. They are illegally in contact for strike crossings RNs and are willing to pay them over 3k a week! The top VPs make 5x or more than staff nurses and also are RNs themselves and know better! They scoff at any legitimate and fair requests the union make, enough is enough! We as RNs are on the verge of striking, please support us so we can support our patients and take care our community. Thank you!
Bernie Sanders tells it like is, he'll never back down when it comes to the truth. God Bless You Bernie!❤
Most propagandists know what to tell the Useful Idiots!😂😂
The world is broken... housing is unaffordable, you can't afford to eat, things need to change
Yep, yep. Mortgage payments in 2 to 3 years. With or Without Joe Biden in office.
America refined greed to a science, and the rest of the world learned from the greediest nation on earth.
500k does not even buy a unit or anything now!
Thats what happens when you conform into commies and let your elections get stolen
Well, first it was Reganism then Citizens United. This was 50 years in the making. Anyone still voting Republican atthis day and age is now voting for their own annihilation.
Thank you for covering this!! We need media coverage like this every single day!!! It needs to brought to the attention of the American people every day, this gap between the super rich and everyone else will only get worse if we don’t have brave workers standing up to corporate greed!
Oh Bernie! We love you!
He's right! Pay Your Employees Fairly 🎉
I am SO glad to see Unions ACTUALLY USING their power.
So glad to see the layoffs of striking fools. A 40% wage increase will be passed on to the consumer in higher car prices. Fools.
There is power, there is power in the hands of workin' folk. When we stand, hand in hand.
there are resons that they werent acting like that they where heavily accosiated with the Mob who is very pro rich people and since the ref scares the government just broke alot of the best orginasers in the Unions and them being mideratly to heavlily left leaning and the left has been demonized so hard.
Totally agree. As a business owner and entrepreneur I support the UAW 100%> . During COVID I kept paying my people and took zero salary. This is greed at its worst. It's shocking and inhuman
Bernie has always spoken the unadulterated truth and never shied away from it. Go Bernie go. Go Bernie go.!
We are the 99.99%. I hope the UAW gets what they want and need. A big raise. ❤😂🇺🇸🙏
Be proud of Bernie. Need more people like him in the political ring.
He could have been your president but America likes to punch itself in the face just like England is doing now. People have to rise up and stop listening to properganda
Sadly Bernie has had chances to ACTUALLY do something and he folds.
Y'all do know he's filthy rich , right ?
Vote Independent. Red and blue choices are both trash.
yes the Republicans thank him every time he helps them win an election
This is the issue to unite Americans. We are the working class: We contribute to society, work 40+ hours per week, and deserve to have our basic needs met. There have been a number of worker strikes here in Canada as well, and I hope the trend continues to force change.
Glad to see some MSM actually letting Sanders speak with proper context and not trying to twist his words into some extremist fear-mongering
Bernie always has the most time-proven common sense solutions.
Like when he said the Soviet union was the future
Well a Clinton stole his position and Trump won so there u go.
@@kp63do you have a source for him saying that?
You're smart. @@kp63
He doesnt because bernie never said that
RIGHT ON, BERNIE!
I totally support the UAW in their efforts for fairness. I think Senator Sanders is the greatest.❤❤❤
That ceo made me want to throw up.. what a disgusting human being to want to see unemployment go up and people suffer just so they can come crawling back to you to be paid crumbs. He’s 🗑️
He will get his karma and will hit hard for not doing good and working on behalf of the people who help him to create wealth.
@@jaddek.astrie3071 karma is real.
"Corporate greed is the problem."
So True !! 😤
DJT has said that he will lower the taxes on the rich & corporations. Keep that in mind when you go to vote!
People need to stop idolizing rich people and start questioning them instead. It's crazy how much we let these corporations get away with. We outnumber them. All people have to do is unite. They can't stop all of us.
Thanks, as ever, Bernie.
Him and RFK Jr, the only ones with integrity and compassion that are speaking for regular folks like us. 💜🙌🏼
God bless Bernie for always fighting for the workers and exposing corporate greed. 👏👏❤️
Also losing and selling out
One word for you: Realpolitik. @@KhyeTheWandereR
@@James-gk8ip sure, but it's sad that people still think hes some fighter for the workers
@@KhyeTheWandereR people like you are the problem
@@KhyeTheWandereR He has fought harder against greed and has more common sense than any other politician I have ever known. Not saying he's perfect, but he's sure a lot better than 99% of them.
The one thing I love about Bernie he is for the people elderly, children, disabled, workers. Bernie sees there is an unbalance and understands many sufferings. He works "For The People". I think he is a gem, he tells it like it is.
Bernie likes the line his own pockets

😃Chris and Bernie Great GREAT Interview 👏👏👏👏👏Need more of Chris and Bernie🤩🗽🇺🇸 ☮️❤️🌟🇺🇸🗽
Keep going, enough is enough!
Good old Bernie-spoke on again
Yes. Bernie is right, workers are tired - tired of their government NOT helping them because they’re too busy fighting each other and/or serving the CEOs funding them! People are uniting, unionizing and saving each other, themselves. WE ARE THE MAJORITY! Let’s STAND TOGETHER!💪😍🇺🇸
Yes 🇺🇸
The millionaire is being served by other millionaires don't let the Communist fool you
We have been fighting since 1776, Einstein " “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". Let us try something different, very different.
I'm so sick of corporate greed I quit buying their crap. Nothing is expensive if you don't buy it.
So you buy everything from China, same thing
I understand your point but unfortunately it's more complicated than that. If we all stop buying their products you end up with mass unemployment which in turn lowers wages. The economy tends to stair step until it balances out. However, that can take years and be very painful for many people. I do agree with you though, corporate greed has played a big role in all this. And just as important, they have taken over the power of government legislation.
@citizengoodman8023 Employment is the problem. I think this is the end result of unrestrained capitalism and exploitation of labor. No system is perfect. I'm advocating for self-reliance instead of employment-reliance. It's as simple as going back to being producers instead of consumers.
Growing our own food instead of going to grocery stores. Living within our means in spite of the false abundance around us. Saying no to rent, mortgages, and debt. I see so many people mortgaging their future in order to buy a Starbucks now. I make my own coffee, grow my own herbal teas, and work because I want to, not because I have to.
Yes! And if life on this planet is to be saved we have to consume less.
The same people he's talking about was scared to death of this man. He was never crazy.
Love, love, love Bernie! Can you imagine where America would be if he had been president instead of Trump!!
When that guy said we need more unemployment, to make workers more appreciative of the job they've been provided with, it reminded me of the crash of '08.
Bernie for president. You can tell he cares.
If only-🌈
Bernie already endorsed Biden 😂
Bernie endorsed him because:
1. He's pro-democracy
2, Bernie IS the influence behind every popular move Biden has made as President
@@zcorpalpha2462there is still a possibility that Joe Biden will pull out of the “race “ and if that happens I believe Bernie will run for pres. in 2024 and I will support him as much as I am able. It’s obscene that some of the people who work in Walmart have to live in their campers in the parking lot and live off of food stamps.
God bless Bernie Sanders! I wish more people in government shared his concern for the working people of America.
TIME TO STAND UP AMERICANS, TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK!
If corporations take care of their employees properly, they don’t have strikes and they get loyal, hard working employees.
@@jonathanlee8709Look up SAS software.
@@jonathanlee8709 The CEO of Nintendo took something like a 40-60% pay cut so they wouldn't have to lay anyone off during Covid
And they still make a fortune
It would be even better if workers have a seat in the decision making of corporations. Workers shouldnt just be "loyal" they should be represented. Its odd democracy stops at the doorstep of the workplace.
Well, people aren't going to be loyal to companies with 'right to quit' contracts__that was one of the worse moves ever. 😢
Well said Bernie as always..

I voted for Bernie. But in the end, I voted for the constitution over Inmate 01135809.
Too bad you conformed to the propaganda instead of standing up for him when he was cheated by our own party in 2016

a "tell it like it is" kind of man!!!!.... We are so lucky to have him!!!!.... I can listen to Bernie talk forever!!! 😊❤
Bernie is compelling, he speaks the truth loud and clear. The ceo non-paying tax billionaire situation has to go. It's unfriggingbelievable.
