#Trump #BernieSanders #Politics
Senator Sanders laughed because he understands NBC's Meet the Press host could not possibly have been sincere when she agreed with him that "politics should become boring again." No one understands better that Bernie Sanders that the networks are making a fortune by sensationalizing politics.
She is such a lying Witch.
amen..............................................
And Bernie the Communist is getting rich off tax dollars. He wouldn't make it a week in the private sector. Plus he has bad hygiene.
@@truthcounts94😊
schools have shootings, concerts have shooting, movies have shootings, soo as much as I find this abhorrent, I'm not sure I can say it has no place in America. . . it's kind of every place in America.
Great point 😢
Yeah, when you put it that way.
Agreed. In the currently climate, nothing could be more American 😔
Bernie is still sharp at 82.
How did Comrade Bernie become a millionaire with multiple homes on a career in public service?
@@ray.d.oeaux1230 By his audience contribution, willingly. What kind fool!
@@ray.d.oeaux1230By spending a lifetime on it, how else?
Your argument that a person with 1-2 million in property is somehow in the same category as billionaires (1 billion = 1000 million) who use their money to buy politicians, is not as good as you think it is.
@@ray.d.oeaux1230Americans flip flopping on the American dream is the most American thing I've seen today
This man could have been our president... I don't think in my lifetime, we will ever see a such a politician of his magnitude again. We could have had Bernie...
I think about this all the time.
Right!!! Can you imagine how different our country could be right now if Hillary has any humility?? I think about it every day.
we'd be saved all this drama if he were to have run for President. Why are the powers that be not backing him?
the heads of the democratic party colluded to make sure he wasn't the nominee. never forget that.
Oh lord...an avowed communist as President...have you lost your ever loving minds
Bernie still hitting all the notes no matter what the context. Feel the Bern
@@MauricioGonzalezFilms indeed! Senator Sanders is always clear and to the point. I appreciate how he always steers the interview back to the most important topics, despite the interviewers intentions.
That's not a bern you feel, it's the discomfort of listening to a guy who says one thing and does another, for instance voting for the defense budget.
😂😂😂😂😂 Clown Sanders
Ya he is a dnc shill he sold out his followers every presidential election. But idiots still buy his bs.
I ❤ Bernie
Sanders is absolutely correct. Politics should be about discussing policy and solutions to problems. It should not be about emotionally trolling your base.
Hey Bernie.
"This is for healthcare!"
We haven't forgotten what the Bernie Bro did to Steve Scalise.
@@sdfasdfadfasdfadfasd lol. Wut? Bernie has never condoned violence. Always condemned it. Bernie has been attacked several times.
@@sdfasdfadfasdfadfasdkindly add more Detail please?
I can’t frickin believe she brought up Biden’s run during this interview-especially after Bernie was speaking about unity. The media has been told that Biden is running, stop trying to make it an issue! So sick of hearing it.
its an issue because if he stays in, Trump WILL WIN.
@@snakebarber I respectfully disagree with you.
It’s been found that the CEO’s most main media are contributors to the Trump campaign.
@snakebarber yea, I also disagree with you. The evidence we have shows if we replace him so near to the elections trump is more likely to win. I'm not saying that hasn't changed but we have no evidence to make that conclusion. The only reason the news is doing this is because because they make more money if trumps in power
@@tctcllc6949 then you are a fool if you still think that after this the Democrats could still win with Biden as the candidate. Biden more than ever HAS TO GO! He looks far weaker now than he was just two days ago!
Bernie is a proof that age isn't the most important characteristic of a politician. Character, morals and knowledge are more important and mental health of course. To stumble in walk and talk is part of healthy aging.
Excerpt Bernie clearly still speaks in lucid coherent thoughts while President Biden has clear mental decline that impacts his ability to lead
Knowledge is important. How do you even judge the character and morals of a person when they are 6000 ft away from you and is able to project any image of themselves at will.
For as radical as people like to paint bernie, he’s always the most sane voice in the crowd…
NOT boring bernie... it NEEDS to be "neutral" ... the radius of the circle is the best view of the entire structure... so the middle, the pros and cons, or otherwise let the viewers sift through the good and bad of it and decide for themselves instead of being steered by the corporate money made media
EXACTLY TRUE, and thanks for the common sense!
You're missing his point. He's talking about politics and politicians, not the media the covers them (although the two have a symbiotic relationship).
Not neutral, objective. Neutral means not taking sides I want the facts not he said she said.
@@Kalandrian being objective is a neutrality... yes the facts need to be presented WITH both the positive aspects about a topic/subject/current event relative to a whole population; AS well as the negative things that could occur h the community ... extremism comes in when what is presented is one sided, skewed or otherwise missing key points that could change overall consensus.. honest news is complete in facts on both sides of the problem/answer and is presented objectively as not to sway the public one way or the other... that way you get a true consensus rather than a sale
@@AA-eq5wk no neutral is not objective, neutral means you're not pointing out the problem you just end up both sidesing everything. There are verifiable objective facts you need to keep the opinions about those facts to a minimum. Who stole the item what was taken when did they take it. Perspective even a neutral one is not helpful.
Wth did she bring Biden into this conversation!! Ive had enough of her BS!
Go and watch foxy news
SO glad to see other people think she stinks....
She’s horrid, so unprofessional and pathetic.
Lies that get other people hurt is always a bad idea.
That's Trump! That's MAGA!!!
@@NOBS4theUSA Wrong the National media is responsible for this let's be very clear
@@NOBS4theUSAthat's DHS director who denied extra detail to Trump. Who appointed Mayorkas?
@@marspentacle751 STOP the BS! Not what happened, at all! NEVER TRUMP/MAGA!!!
@@marspentacle751 post the link or you're a fool.
Sen. Sanders is so good, so smart. Thank you!
So should ‘News’
Bingo
You are right, Bernie. Thank you for your even and measured response.
I was a Bernie supporter from Vermont that watched him cave to the Left. He got 3 houses out of it plus a summer camp.
@@timp3035 sound like you don't know how Bernie got those houses.
@@timp3035 that is literally fake news. Lol
Thank you, Senator Sanders. This is the best interview Face The Nation has had in a long while.
Uh, it's Meet The Press, fyi...not that it makes a difference...
@@vincentbaca790 ha! Yes. My bad. Thanks! I’ll say…it’s the best interview on Meet the Press and Face the Nation in a long time. Probably since the last time Senator Sanders appeared on either show.
This man should be the next POTUS.
Yes, but the elite didn’t want him. That’s why they went for Clinton and Biden….
Far better than Biden.
He should have already been but the DNC did him dirty.
Are you crazy😂😅😂
Given Americans are so focused on age, I will say no. Another old White guy is how many will see his candidacy. I like Bernie and think he is doing his part where he is.
Thank you Bernie , enough with crapping of Biden
He cannot defeat Donald Trump simple as that.
Trump agrees with you. Putin too. Definitely nominate Biden, so that Trump wins in an absolute landslide.
A 20 yrs old who can't buy a beer but can have a weapon?
I'm wondering if he was high .
Thank you Bernie, you are a great American!
Politics should be exciting for people who are extremely geeky about politics, but it should be boring for everybody else. Couldn't agree more.
how about gun control, the NRA and the access to AR15's people have access to?
Wasn't a AR 15 keep watching MSNBC and CNN Telling you lies
Criminals do not care about the law 😂 Here in Sweden we have extreme hard laws when it comes too weapons!! But the Criminals do not care = they are Criminals you know 😂
Thank you Bernie.
You are an honorable man, a truth-teller, a man of the people, and the absolute cutest grandpa alive.
Bernie is the man❤🎉
When one of the candidates is quoting Hitler, no one should be bored.
Never did. but did you see the Biden speech with the guards and the red background and rhetoric of punishing his enemies? yeah, now THAT is very Hitler like. But you don't mind that as long as its a Democrat right?
When the democrats are calling him Hitler and the end to democracy just to fear people not to vote for him sickening
You are the problem
Can you please find a direct quote? Let me know the sources as well. Or are you just reiterating what some of the media is saying based on a 2-second clip. You are the problem.
Watch THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD.
Thank you, Senator. I've been wondering why we don't follow the Constitution, in which the description of the president's job is kind of boring. I've written several times that I've added "reality shows" to my list of the worst inventions of the 20th century. Politics should not be pure entertainment, as if it is just another episode of _Survivor_ . We should not be going "Nyah! So there!" like Lucy van Pelt, about actual reality like we might reacting to our least favorite contestant on the unscripted, but well-planned dramas that so-called reality shows are. Politics should not be a show of any sort at all.
And by the way, could other politicians and experts stop saying, "I don't want to get into the weeds" on one of these important subjects? I am sick of being talked down to by nearly everyone, discussing any issue. To me, one of the most important parts of a politician's or journalist's or expert's job is to educate us, not treat us like uneducable riff-raff, who respond only to slogans or the glitzy parts of an issue.
It's like with raising kids. Treat them like idiots and they will turn out to be idiots. Treat them like the only thing that counts is who's got the power -- "You'll do it because I said so, and as long as you live under this roof..." -- and they will not be able to function as anything but the bully or bullied the rest of their lives.
So, Senator, you and your colleagues have time to hold hearings and have your staff do research on any topic of importance. What you and your 534 congressional colleagues could do if they wantred to is to communicate what you have learned without all the fancy jargon, something you do quite well. Remember Carl Sagan? He explained the Cosmos to us without our having to get a degree in Astronomy. Remember the series _Connections_ with James Burke? He explained the complex relationships between social and technological change throughout history so we could understand it. Remember _Crockett's Victory Garden_ ? Crockett explained how to grow things without our having to get a degree in Botany.
That's what politicians and economists need to be able to do in their fields too.
You have hit the nail on its head. You would probably be very interested in Neil Postman’s ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death’.
Thank you Senator Sanders. I agree with you.
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. "It's, like, incredible."
@@Immaculatemessenger keep projecting, we know you support terrorism.
Are you stupid?
How stupid are you? Try looking up that quote and not leaving out the only salient part of it.
And now Trump will win in a landslide. He was already winning in an electoral landslide before this.
And he did, sort of. Just at the other end of the barrel as intended. The learning effect from this will be zero, I am afraid.
Trump needs to turn down his own reckless hyperbole and violent rhetoric. This isn't a tv show. This is real life.
Oh please. Your side doesn't get to lecture about this. Yall have literally called him hitler for 7 years.
The current resident in the White House is the true racist. Did you forget the Crime Bill he signed back in 1994 ? That proves he’s a racist. What about when he said if you don’t vote for me you’re not black. He said that to a black man.
There's only one side of the aisle that uses harsh violent rhetoric on a regular basis.
Yes - Maddow & Olberman are on record that, "Trump should be stopped by any means necessary." But I think both side use ugly rhetoric.
That would be the party that lectures about tolerance and inclusion, but practices none of what it preaches.
It ain't unamerican though, is it?! History tells a different story...
When you compare it to other nations, especially in the 19th century, the difference is quite stark. Most people do not see it as such but 19th century U.S. was a remarkable society for its time.
This country has of political violence, Jan. 6, when Mr. Trump left the area he said “Fight Fight” with his fist in the air.!
Feel the Bern ! Way more intelligent than either party is offering right now... I hear the call to unit both sides - then I see trump pumping his fist and telling his constituents to fight over an over ..
Sen. Sanders is as eloquent and on message as ever. A real unifying statement. I found the question by the host here disgusting, to bring up the event on the crazy shooter at a republican event when he himself has been targeted for attacks, as he mentioned. this framing is a choice. We as Americans need to take a real hard look at the power we give to these media institutions. whether it is how they targeting Biden, even in this interview, or Bernie during the last run, the media house should bear the bulk of the responsibility for the hostilities in politics in search for rating. Media corporations should not dictate our president nor our political outcomes, it should be the people
Cristan needs to stop the hate interviews. Both parties need to come together and stop the hate
The UK went with boring. The US should follow the same path.
And end up like sheep in Britain? No thanks
The incumbents lost in the UK. Lol
@@mariovegas5699 So you support political violence?
America is not england....you should focus on your country we might speak the same language but we are not the same .
@@yishay6194 My country is neither. Being on the outside, you can have a far better view of what's really happening.
But Trump is about chaos and lies, what can we do? We’re playing by different rules. Biden should step aside. He’s feeble. Bernie is stronger.
For a moment, think about why Trump has been so successful. It’s as if the medium he uses for his politics is designed to bring him success (when you have 2 mins to speak about a complex policy matter, you can’t persuade people with arguments, you can certainly ignite passions with catchphrases). Unfortunately, the American electorate is ignorant of this phenomenon and now quite uneducated.
Trumpists do not want politics to be boring! Holy Cow.
Not a sanders fan but hes 100 percent right
He usually is
Bernie is right. I love how he still stays on form and goes right to wealth inequality. Bernie is the only guy i would vote for on the left. The woke have destroyed the core message and regressed into dividing the country on race
Nope! Politics will never be boring again after Trump!!
Oh yes it can be. If, and that is a big if, people will stop copying his style of politics.
Biden being boring is a big part of why he’s struggling in the polls. You can criticize it all you want, but democratic politics are performative and people vote for passionate leaders who inspire them. Pretending to be too good to play the game is a bad political strategy
Yes, politics should be kind of boring, but also meaningful , because they effect the lives of 330 million people. But our politics have not been boring at all since 2016. Both parties are guilty of more and more inflammatory rhetoric, and this is the consequence of that style of politics. And it has been happening over and over in our country
Both are guilty but not nearly to equal measure. One party has become entirely about divisiveness
Did the smoke detector battery warning go off at 22 seconds into the video clip?
Of course it did. Now we know for sure what type of people they are.
Hahaha. MSNBC is so welfare that they have ghetto birds in studio.
Ghetto birds in studio. MSNBC is so poverty they can't change a 99cent battery.
Diversity.
well.....I'll let you. There is a meme about....ehhh
Bernie for President!
The DNC will never allow him to be. And he is spineless so nope.
@@elcid4097yuck 🙄
DID TRUMP GET A WAKE UP CALL FROM GOD.
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPEN ON JAN 6.
WILL TRUMP HAVE EMPATHY ABOUT THAT.
GFY
Maybe Trumps stops saying outrageous things now…this should be a debate of ideas not the craziness he turned this into…
“A threat to democracy “ or “ democracy hanges in the balance” also sounds outrageous. Some don’t understand hyperbole or sensationalism.
@@eliascastillo1641 Oh yeah and he also called for a military tribunal for Liz Cheney.
@@danboke5796 like I said some don’t understand hyperbole or sensationalism.
Yeah. No.
But he got up from the ground shaking his fist saying fight, fight, fight.
Dude give it a rest. I knew he was gonna find a way to plug in the top 1% and healthcare followed by the lip lick 🙄
Yeah Bernie. Last week u said Trump was “dangerous”. You’re a s guilty as anyone else.
Thankyou Senator Sanders for your truths and wisdom.
I’m a Saint Bernard and my name is Bernie. My owner’s name is Hillary and I am her pet. She took me to the vet and had me neutered. Now I have no balls.😊
Bernie 2024! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
How did this interview get to be a campaign speech for President Biden?
DNC would be very wise to replace Biden with Bernie. Bernie is 82 but he’s clearly still as sharp as he was 20 or 30 years ago, unlike Biden. Plus Bernie has a humongous fan base and supporters. Think what you want about him, but Bernie would be the DNC's best shot at winning the election. Otherwise, Trump will be the next Grover Cleveland.
Too soon to talk about gun control, Republicans? Or just more thoughts & prayers for your dur leader?
what they are saying is that when most of the US isn't paying attention it's easier
for them to get what they want done
Thank you, President Biden! YOU'RE THE BEST! YOUR COMPASSION FOR OTHERS IS SO BEAUTIFUL TO SEE. IT'S WHO YOU ARE! But I know that Donald Trump would NOT have been this sympathetic! Let's see if he's going to thank you, President Biden for your concerns.
Are you even from this planet? Trump was the one who talked to the families of children who were murdered by illegal immigrants. Biden didn't. Trump was the one who visited Palestine Ohio after the train derailment. It took more than a year before Biden made a visit. Don't try gaslighting people about Biden's compassion. He can't even spell the word.
I think God may be saying I'M GIVING YOU A SECOND CHANCE get your act together
So God changed cares more about Trump than kids starving in Haiti?
God works in mysterious ways-😇 we need to listen and pray🙏
You are absolutely correct, Bernie. At the same time, he should not be getting a pass and everyone quit calling him out for all the division and hate he has spewed.
Bernie is such a decent, honest and honourable man. Always discusses issues not persons
Thank You, Bernie. We love you!
Bernie Sanders is the most laser focused person I’ve ever seen.
He also was at the Capitol on January 6th insurrection. You seemed to forget that one. Which is quite frankly, bizarre.
Republicans and Conservatives, don’t tone down ANYTHING.
When will they realize they can’t fool all the people all the time???!
US politics is a crazy reality show at this point. It's no accident that it's this way, either
Part of the problem is the cable news networks that are extremely divisive on BOTH sides.. then, the ease of access to guns is a major problem.
I dont agree with all of Sanders policies but I 100% agree with what he said.
That's what makes him a good politician and a great man.
@@TheFlutecart Bernie propping up Biden will give us Trump in a landslide.
Thank you, Bernie!
In conversation, I have learned to be self-aware of, 'am I leading with intellect, or emotion'. From there, I see too much, emotion leading conversations.
I would like to remind Americans of Neil Postman who wrote and talked about this exact phenomenon in his book ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death’.
Bernie Sanders can not speak for five seconds without going through his talking points.
He's a politician. How else does any politician talk. Trump has nothing but talking points.
He is on national TV he would be doing his movement a disservice not to speak about his views at all times he has that attention
New to politics?
@@Jjp1984aa I guess it is naive of me.
Oh you mean he doesn’t waste anytime to advocate for the people and talk about what’s important? Yes, he definitely cuts to the chase right away.
100% agree about politics needing to be boring again. To use a sports metaphor, politicians should be society's referees, not its players. I'd love to go five days without hearing about or from a POTUS because he or she is just doing their job competently.
Well said Senator Bernie Sanders.
There is only one Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Constitutional Republic that’s what we are!
Bernie as always is a class act.
But NBC partisanship is always in full show.
At least now the MEDIA should STOP the threat to democracy rhetoric.
From 2016 to 2024 the US president could've been this guy, but we don't live in the better timeline.
Bernie come back!!! Two terms later and BOTH the Biden Boys and Trumpeters are asking for the things Bernie was determined to deliver to the American people. They said he was too old and senile, but 2 terms later, he's the only one left standing and STILL making sense. We wanted Bernie!!!
Bernie Sanders is a good man and so smart
Can we just have Bermie? From a Republican. Lol
Well….let’s keep blaming the politicians….the kids are not learning hatred from us and our comments… even the kids in their 20s
Is that a dead smoke detector battery at 0:22
I cannot believe she had the NERVE to ask Senator Bernie SANDERS about President Biden staying in the race when the President ALREADY SAID A NUMBER OF TIMES THAT HE IS STAYING IN THE RACE!!! I am so sick of these News people!!! AMERICA SUPPORTS YOU, PRESIDENT BIDEN!!! God sees your sincere heart! BIDEN/HARRIS 2024💯💙💙💙
Bernie Sanders is a good man
0:22 her smoke detector has a low battery chirp of course lol
You’re right Bernie. Biden/Harris 2024❤
No we don't!
Politics are about ideas to solve. It is not a WWE. It’s not a contact sport!
Despite the best efforts of the secret service Trump is still alive
Thank You Bernie
Indeed ....Amen🙏
She is the WORST. Almost makes me want me to see them bring back Chuck Todd. Almost. She is a disgrace.
Worse than Goldberg and Behar and Reid...
He should move to Norway. What a drip!
I feel really bad about what happened to the former president. And I keep looking to our leaders to reassure me that this kind of thing is over. But I get nothing,. No sense of calm no sense of reassurance... Biden should be on television telling everyone everything is going to be alright. I feel like we are being left out in limbo. No offence to Bernie Sanders but where is our leader in this moment, where is the captain of the ship, where is our shinning beacon in the darkness... I don't want finger pointing analysis saying who's to blame I want the steadying hand of reassurance that everything is going to be alright.
Pres Biden had his chance to raise the limits on Social Security and Medicare
and improving them, but he did not. President Biden did not come through for seniors. So why should seniors vote for him? Nope!
Thank you senator Sanders!
Thank you, Mister Sanders !
That was a poor segue. Stop bring up this stuff. Reporters have no right to influence elections either way.
What say you "Corporate Media" about the official sources confirmed the suspect was a registered Republican?
Who donated to democrats?
Republican but obviously not a cult follower.
@@cc8751Yeah, Republican, not a MAGAt.
He was 20 years old and lived in a rural conservative area. He wasn't old enough for being a registered Republican to even matter. Problem is the SS agency was request for more funding to Trumps detail by Bidens Democrafic appointee Mayorkas. That's the story not if a 20 year old who never voted in a presidential election was Republican.
@cc8751
$15.00 and it sounds like it was before he registered as a republican.
I donated to the republican party before I ended up leaving it.
It's time for the GOP to stop telling LIES.
Both side spewed enough lies 😢
Name one.
