greatest candidate to ever have been on this show and I think his answer to the last question has been the best of any other candidate. Thank you Bill and co. for giving Bernie a platform to speak on.
I think this was actually one of Bernie's best interviews. Maher asked decent questions and Sanders gave concise detailed answers. I say this because he, at times, has a tendency to speak in overly general terms and fall back on the same phrases or slogans for answers. Here, however, I thought he was excellent. This is the Bernie the country needs to see more of and the one that needs to show up at the debates. Overall, well done by both gentlemen!
I mean, if you think he speaks in overly generalized terms it's because he isn't always given 3 minutes to explain the 'how you gonna pay for it' question (and the other ones answered) for the 6 millionth time.
@@CatNibbles Let's be clear cace - it was always a political consideration to avoid explaining how to pay for it when discussed in wide political forums like debates.
Bill is so much nicer to Bernie when he's talking one on one with him. Nice to see an interview with Sanders that isn't a constant gotcha question session. And giving him time to answer properly, Way to go Bill!
@Dearly Diane This is not a funny situation & Bill wasnt trying to be "funny or witty". Millions of people are losing their jobs & you want Bill Maher to make jokes about that? Fuck you.
The reason Bernie loses is because the media have made the argument that Biden is most likely to beat Trump and exit polls have shown that beating Trump is the most important topic for A LOT of voters. SO important apparently that they are willing to ignore their own policy preferences just to support Hillary 2.0 because the media said, he's "the most electable". And old people are the voter block who'd fall for this propaganda (since they watch TV) and they came out in masses to vote for Biden. Sad but true. :(
@The Irish Italian you either pay to keep people in the positions they are in now, or you pay them all unemployment benefits for an unknown amount of time while the system is re-built. We are doing exactly that here in Australia. America never seems to like paying money to support the people, only corporations, I've never understood that.
@Morgoth Bauglir as a fairly moderate Australian this is accurate. Americans (I know some are not how i describe, but I'm generalizing) are dogmatic about capitalism, there is no other way to put it. I've tried to explain a hundred times that our health care here works great, and is affordable, but I just get told ridiculous things like "American health care system is the best and most efficient in the world, socialist health care is a failure everywhere" it's crazy, I've been to 20+ countries and American healthcare is a nightmare. Bernie Sanders is the only American politician that makes any sense, and actually cares about people, but Americans seem to have this "we know what we are doing and will never change" attitude which is so self defeating that it's sad to witness.
Thecactigod Oh And when Biden was absolutely gone in the polls before Super Tuesday, should he have just dropped out then? Oh right, last second huge changes in polling only happen in Biden’s favor, every time!
@Brandon Hill he has already been totally repudiated by Democratic primary voters. His youth turnout miracle has never materialized and it never will, because Millennial and GenZ voters won't get off of their phones for a few hours a year to go and vote. Either show up at the polls or stop complaining.
@@FoulDream wow that list is a lot longer than i expected I was wondering who was left haha thanks for this, Lets take him all the way through the primary!
Bernie is the only one truly leading, listen to his straight forward, well articulated, well considered answers in this crisis. Without a doubt, we need to elect this man. There’s still time to support Bernie for President.
I wonder if this interview had been in front of a live studio audience if it would have gone as respectfully as this did. I can't stand to watch neoliberal Maher doing a live show because of his smug arrogance and his audience thinking he's clever for being snarky. I am actually pleasantly surprised Maher just asked questions rather did his sit down version of half-assed comedic shtick. #TheViewSucks and should be pulled off the air, they're all a bunch of neoliberal hacks there.
@Raymond Babcock No the reason is because, he has no choice. He's anti Trump so that only leaves Joe Biden as an option and because he's anti-trump he can't not vote.
SC volunteer and voter for Bernie here. I'd lost all hope. I don't expect the Senator to win the nomination, but thank you for recognizing. There were (and are) plenty of problems with the Senator's platform, but the foundation is unassailable. Keep spreading the fucking facts, and shifting the narrative.
Will Not over yet. Biden has to deal with this sexual assault allegation. I heard Tara Reade’s interviews and what happened to her at Biden’ doing will bring him down and rightfully so. Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris , Amy Klobuchar and the others will have a stain on their climbing careers if they don’t withdraw their endorsements.
Welcome to corrupt America. Want it to not be corrupt? Vote the corrupt assholes out and push to pass laws that limit lobbying and spending on giant corporate businesses like oil companies. That's the only way it'll stop
While that is indisputably true, Bill Maher isn’t one of the silent voices. In fact, he’s made that very point. But had he not asked about it in this interview, everyone would be like, “Wow Bill with the softball questions. What a pussy! Bernie is going to destroy the world. Blah blah blah I’m a faggot.” So he’s gotta ask it. Plus, the question should be asked for any spending the government makes. The issue is that the same people who cry about the cost of social programs have no issue with an oil company paying zero in income tax and, in fact, getting a 130 million rebate while someone who makes 45,000 a year has 20% of their income taken by the government.
Anyone with sense will realize that a representative is someone that represents us. What do you think is right? Coronavirus is showing you that your health depends on my health.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.. BEEN SAYING IT FOR YRS!! THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN THEY SHOULD CLAP!! SO FUCKING ANNOYING WHEN THE PERSON IS STILL TRYING TO MAKE THEIR POINT AND THEN THE AUDIENCE STARTS!!!
Xhyllos1 Defiantly, any debate for now on even after we’ve dealt with the virus should be on a closed set with just the candidates and moderator(s), with people calling, emailing, texting, etc. in to ask the candidates questions.
A Pheonix eh not really tbh it’s cause a good portion of us young folks didn’t vote smh. I’m a big Bernie supporter but that was our biggest hit in the primaries.
Streetbum - Not a Bernie supporter, but the fact that nonsense like “ultra top secret arrest” coming from a conservative is entirely unsurprising phraseology, is beyond comical, and a reason why it’s nearly impossible at this point in time to be a conservative and sane.
He's all talk. None of his policies have any chance of becoming laws. The Democrats don't control the Senate and McConnell won't allow a vote on any of his policies. Even if Democrats flip the Senate, they would still need GOP support for any of his policies. We're headed for a global recession and we already owe trillions; no Republicans are going to support M4A when they're trying to slash funding for regular Medicare. Free college and student loan relief have no way of passing either. Bernie's been talking about the same policies for years and he doesn't have enough allies in either chamber to get any of his bills out of committee intact, let alone pass either chamber with the majority they need. If he can't get anything done as a Senator, nothing will change if he wins the presidency. His foreign policy is also absurd. He thinks Russia should be part of NATO. He wouldn't be able to fix our relationships with our allies; he would only alienate them further. It's moot anyway. He has no chance of winning and at this point he's just delaying the inevitable. It's Biden vs. Trump. If Bernie's supporters are as progressive as they claim, they should want to ensure that we don't lose the SCOTUS for generations. RBG is 87 and I doubt she can last another term on the bench. If Clinton would have won, she would have retired already. Bernie's not electable at the national level. He's not likable. If having the best ideas equaled a guaranteed victory, we never would have had Bush or Trump.
The democratic candidates, almost everyone of them, would be a successful president. Saying that, while I will be voting for Biden, my candidate of choice would be senator Warren. I love Bernie, but I'm afraid he has not grown his base and that could hurt the outcome. What about the other ones? All but two should be cabinet members and/ or be in charge of many of the agencies controlled by the executive branch. Think about that!
That wasn't an interview. He got tossed a couple softball questions that anyone with knowledge of the political system could have answered. It's moot now that he dropped out and endorsed Biden, but he never got pressed about being a deadbeat dad who let his kid and his kid's mother go on welfare so he could run for governor and senator of VT, his rape fantasy essay, his praise of communism, or the fact that he rants about the "political establishment" even though he's never had a job outside of politics and he's been in politics for nearly 40 years. As far as foreign policy is concerned, he advocated for Russia to be added to NATO even after they annexed Crimea. Good thing he lost. He would have got blown away in the general judging by the primary results in Florida, Michigan, and Minnesota.
THTS SO STUPID OF YOU----I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIS HAND FLOPPING ASS PERIOD! YOURE GOING TO DIVIDE THE VOTE LIKE U DID IN 16 AND CHUMP WILL GET IN AGAIN!!!
@@janehyden1652 go sit in the corner and have another cup of the Trump cult Kool-Aid. And drink the poison if Trump tells you to. Self-destructive Behavior.
jane hyden you would have to be stupid not to vote for Bernie. Biden will be destroyed by Trump. Trump is president because the country is sick and tired of the same corrupt bull from both parties. You need a populist to beat one. Biden will never get a single Trump voter and has a high probability of not getting Bernie voters. Truthfully if you really hate Trump you better not back Biden. A vote for Biden is a vote for Trump
Medicare for All has the additional benefits that Bill is concerned about. Once the government takes responsibility for the payment of healthcare, the government realizes it is cheaper to make things healthier for people. That means improvements to other policies like the amount of pollution allowed in our air and water, food and safety inspection rules, sick time allowed, investment in cures, etc. Once the people's health has value, the government has a reason to care for and actually defend our citizens rather than allowing corporations to make money off of us regardless of consequences.
Silver Jones Hey Silver, a suggestion. Learn to speak the language with proper grammar before commenting. You just look dumb, and no one cares about your right wing cliches.
What makes you think Medicare for All is a good idea? Or what makes you think it will ever pass? Consider this. Bernie has had 30 years to do something, anything, even just a little, to fix our health care system. Has he? NOT ONE DAMNED THING. Bernie has one of the WORST all time records in Congress when it comes to getting legislation passed. He’s pathetic. Have you ever read his legislation? It’s terrible. BLOATWARE. So if you think this man who always fails is somehow miraculously now different, then you’re just dumb. Look at his record. He has no qualitifications to be President. The man fails well. He’s a life long loser. A do nothing. Ineffective. Useless, worthless, and inconsequential.
Absolutely wrong. He's called the amendment king because he's had more amendments passed than most other candidates. He has been on more picket lines than any other candidate. Check the Besos Act. Bernie helped to force Amazon, Walmart and Disney to increase wages. Not to mention he's the one who fought for additional unemployment pay, including benefits for the self employed in the latest stimulus bill and is now working on an unprecedented piece of legislation to bailout the American people during this crisis. Stop listening to lies and actually check the man's record.
Bill Maher asked him the easiest questions. Biden beat the shit out of him because he's a fraud and Americans can see right through him. He's been in Congress longer than most of his base has been alive and all he's done is name a couple post offices. He's all talk. All of his pie in the sky policies are contingent on a Democratic controlled Senate and support in the House for his bills,; he has neither. Abe Simpson is just a left wing populist and his promises are no different than that wall Mexico was supposed to pay for. If he could actually get his legislation through Congress, it would have shown in the past 30 years. Naming 2 post offices is a laughable record. Biden was in Congress a few years longer than Bernie and managed to get 35 more bills passed. Nobody wants to work with that deadbeat dad.
Alan J Buddendeck I will never vote for Joe Biden and believe he is not mentally fit or morally fit.. I will vote down ticket.. but not for corrupt politician
The American voters have spoken and Biden is their choice, just as Hillary Clinton was their choice. Please take your candidate and have several seats before we reelect trump again.
@@nathanlynn4929 imo.... Maher straddles two worlds, and that's not just my claim, that's from Eric "unmistakable genius" Weinstein. #### Bill is wrong here and there but he makes an effort, HW knows how to think. In places he's wrong he can be redeemed.
Respect to Bill for actually giving Bernie the airtime and allowing him full answers. I think even Bill has to come to the reality that Bernie is the wisest option at this point.
Bernie has been going to his show for years, way before 2016. Bill likes many of his ideas but then I honestly don't know why he says stupid things every now and then against him.
Very rare I was waiting for the interruptions and gaslighting interrogation, fear mongering questions. Media has generated fear of Bernie through constant scare tactics.
It's sad that people like Bill Maher and Seth Meyers are the only ones asking Bernie to do interviews right now. If literally anyone with a platform on MSNBC or CNN asked him he might do an interview, which is a lot more than you can say about Biden right now. And yet the media continues to ignore him. It breaks my heart how America is destroying itself.
Why are so many Americans refusing to let this man help them? He can actually have a real conversation, explain his points, consider alternatives, cover multiple topics... His brain actually works! Oh and also he hasn't been sexually inappropriate with anyone against their will. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
TPH2010 Some people speak better. Go back and look, Biden has always been a shit speaker and grew up with a terrible stutter. Biden’s fine. Remember, one of the two had a heart attack.
TPH2010 that’s what we need, ppl that can present ideas well, not ppl that work with others and have good ideas. Elect the talkers that never goes wrong.
Thank you, Bill, for allowing Bernie the opportunity to share what’s really going on amidst the landslide of GOP propaganda & outrageous lies. Despite the depressing topics discussed, seeing these two have a productive conversation has unexpectedly lifted my spirits. Thank you again.
I turned to Bernie's video's yesterday, when I broke down and tears kept falling, I can't explain why it happened, only that it just wouldn't stop, my eyes kept leaking tears. Turns out I was in a state of shock, yes shock, my doctor explained who is also a psych doc too, she said a lot of people are reporting the same things. She said our minds and body work as one, and most people right now are indeed in shock, the state of the universal conscience is in shock, and we are feeling the pain of the world. She told me to just focus on positive things and tears will stop at some point. So saw a newer Bernie video from Bernie on you tube, and just watching him, eased my pain and troubled soul stopped the tears. I actually found my faith in Bernie to allow to to feel better of a very depressing time. At this point, this is a hard thing to do.
YES!! The abject SHOCK of BERNIE having the nomination outright STOLEN from him yet again. This time thanks to traitorous scumbags like MAYOR PETE and AMY KOBOCHAIR ending their campaigns on the eve of Super Tuesday and BETRAYING all of their supporters and financial backers and encouraging everyone to vote for JOE BIDEN. I have come to the conclusion after FIFTY YEARS on this earth that America is full of money-grubbing greedy selfish PIGS and ignorant, foolish, immature MAN-babies. Sometimes we get the leaders we deserve.
"How are you gonna pay for it". Ever since I learned about the US budget and how much is spent on "defense" I could never again take those comments seriously. Sanders had a perfect answer for every question. I would like to see Biden put together a coherent response. BTW if Bernie is losing why does the entirety of RUclips still seem to support him?
Frank Roth and then something like coronavirus comes along and now our bombs can’t do much. Believe me no one wants to mess with us now because COVID is taking us out.
@Frank Roth If you study America's history of regime change and meddling in other countries' affairs whenever US interests are involved, it's not hard to figure out why we're in the Middle-East. Forget about the fact that it ruins countries and the people living there, it doesn't even further the interests of most Americans. Hence the need for a radical change. I don't think we should get caught up in labels. Sanders just wants to redirect the money being milked by corporations to services that help the many.
@Frank Roth I was responding to you. We know why the US is in the Middle East, it's not a mystery. I'm sure American hegemony is motivated in some part by safety, but it's clear that a lot of it is business. America has plenty of resources, but so much of it is syphoned off.
Bernie has a grip on reality and can articulate a potentially intelligent response unlike Trump and Biden, dangerous clowns and their sheep who believe their crap.
@BooBoo Bear : Three elements have become clear after reading your answer to my question. 1) Your grip on sanity is weak. 2) You would benefit from returning to grade school to learn spelling and syntax. 3) I am so happy to not live in your country where people like you abound.
Bill Maher? I could see that. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Definitely better than BullshitBernie. Those were the easiest questions and he got them in advance. Bernie's a fraud. That's why he's getting blown away--AGAIN. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
He supposedly is still on the ballot for those that had yet to vote. Although if it seems to make no difference it probably would be overlooked, unfortunately. So please, to those to have had yet to vote, vote for the one who has a brain and actuallu cares. People could still also write him in and if enough do it can't simply be overlooked or ignored.
#BernieSandersMyPresident. As an American living abroad, I am proud of what Bernie represents, how he thinks, how he acts, what he says and how he says it. Now more than ever, America needs leadership like this. #ThankYouBernie
Did you vote for him in the Democratic Abroad Vote which he won by 58.9% to Biden's 22%, they could not rig that one, I am from Ireland and think every country should have a Bernie, he is your only true candidate
@@abdouliejohn7267 genius! Then Progressives can be the next Libertarians, Perotnistas, Greens, and all the other losers that never ever get one damn thing they want. The RW crazies are so dumb, but even they are smart enough to work within and then take over the Repub party
@@abdouliejohn7267 In order to have a viable third party, we first need to implement a voting system that doesn't have a massive spoiler effect like First Past the Post does. We need something like Ranked Choice Voting, which has already been implemented statewide in Maine. (We'll be getting some very useful data when they use it to vote in the federal election this year, so hopefully good results from that will show people that it's worth implementing.)
People are stupid and puppets to the status quo. The voting machines are flipping votes for Joe Biden and people need to wake up and STOP USING THEM! HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY KNOW THAT THEIR VOTE FOR BERNIE SANDERS WENT TO JOE BIDEN?? PROPRIETARY QR Codes are stamped on those machine ballots and they are PHONY!! WISE UP AND STOP USING THE VOTING MACHINES AND WATCH JOE BIDEN START LOSING BIG!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!! THE CORONA VIRUS A WAKE UP CALL TO TELL PEOPLE THAT THIS GOVERNMENT IS FALLING LIKE THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE!!
If he had integrity he would accept the invitation to run on the Green Party ticket, instead of calling Joe Biden "a decent guy" and his friend. Bernie is nothing but a tool of the establishment; whether he realizes it or not.
@@tegridyfarms9972 Bernie accepting to run the on the Green Party ticket would certainly guarantee Trump's victory, which Bernie would want to prevent in any case. You are either a Trump voter or have an IQ of about 50. (in most cases they don't contradict each other)
@@ToDDHeaDD FYI, I'm not a Trump supporter and I never have been. Interesting that you would assume that just because I'm calling out Bernie's shortcomings. BTW, Ive donated hundreds of dollars to Bernie's failing campaign. And I have to say, he's been an enormous disappointment. We don't need a moderate. We need a REAL leader who will bring a TRUE challenge to the corrupt system. The Democrats helped create that system every bit as much as the Republicans did, and a real leader would point that out.
Bernie Sanders is the only candidate with guts and ability to fix the fundamental structural problems in America. Unfortunately I don't think the American public are smart enough to recognize this.
Nick Taylor he’s a man ahead of his time. More people get his policies today (at least a third of the US) than say the 1970s but even many Democrats are too institutionalized by the status quo to accept that the US has become a true oligarchy.
I'am from The Netherlands, Europe. I hope for you Americans this man is going to be your next President. You finally get the life we have in Europe! We live in a strong democracy, earn enough money to live a good life, all! have healthcare insurance, good pension, vacationtime, and a goverment who believes in a strong middleclass, because the middleclass is carrying the wealth of a country. And despite al of this The Netherlands is one of the richest countries in the world. Come on Americans, get awake and vote for this man! We often travel to your country for our holidays, love the country but I am always staggered about the difference between rich and poor in your country! We don't have that big difference in Europe. Take care of each other! Love to the USA.
Keoki Ciervo Bernie said that Castor did a great job getting Cuba literate. He praised him in his education possible. No crime there, it’s true. But he never said it should be copied, especially not their version which (like China and Russia) is Communism. Socialism and Capitalism can co-exist as it does in much of Europe. No country does that Th w exact same way and many are still more capitalistic than socialistic. But all have national healthcare, higher ed, and a national pension. There other social programs we don’t have like national maternity/paternity leave. They have both private and national companies. The national ones work to create more revenue for the government who is the primary owner tho some do have shares/bonds to buy. They keep industries like petroleum, power and telecom, honest by setting the market price for base utilities. They provide job opportunities and life long jobs like our Federal government. Statoil, for instance, is Norway’s national oil company and 49% of their profits are revenue for the country. There was a time up until the 1990s that there were many industries with federa, state or local government control including airlines and utilities. Bill Clinton deregulated ostensibly to spur innovation and better service through competition but all it did was drive up their prices to the consumers in most areas whohas led no other real choices. And where they did the FTC allowed too many mergers leading to monopolies or trusts.
Because a lot of people who voted for Biden don't even watch his TV appearances, otherwise they'd realize how much he's mentally declined. They would also see the sexual assault allegation he has against him. But there's too many people who really dont educate themselves on the issues and the candidates and watch garbage like the View and think they're being informed.
Because defeating Trump is paramount. I prefer Sanders but have to consider which would be more likely to win in November. Sanders loyalists should vote for Biden but I thank Sanders for holding his fellow Democrat's feet to the fire on many progressive issues. But Biden appears to be more appealing to most Democratic voters.
When Bernie is calm and allowed a platform where he has the time to explain in more detail his ideas, he is very compelling. He doesn’t have gaffes or malignant narcissism. He is just a very intelligent man that has big ideas, that his public doesn’t seem to grasp the simplicity of. His frustration is palpable. And, big money hates him!
probably the biggest reason i have infinite respect for bernie is that he is frustrated SO LITTLE! i mean, the guy's been sayin the same shit for 40 years and too many people in the US are still too stupid to understand that it's right what he's saying and that he's the right person to be president.... i would've given up completely frustrated after 5 years max....but bernie just never gives up. never seen a man with more patience and mental stamina
Iris, the groups who manage the debates, plan the failure by asking stupid questions to pit one against the other and with less then a minute to respond.
Benjamin Uhlmann First time I have actually him explain it simply & without fire. I from Canada so already get it. We really don’t get why so many are against common, good sense, less expensive major policies. Spread the word but safely. 🇨🇦
Thank you Bill for continuing your show during this terrible situation, and thank you for having Senator Bernie Sanders on again. Senator Sanders is a great tonic against this raw time!
When we need the most chance right now only Bernie has the policies to help us. Trump is barely trying and Biden obviously couldn’t handle something like this since his whole thing is nothing needs to change
I have listened to all three remaining candidates on multiple occasions, can anyone seriously deny Bernie is providing the sanest, most rational leadership as compared to Trump or Biden? Interesting times indeed
I don't get it either. Aside from the fact that Bernie was already my favorite back in 2016. But.. wow, if you compare him to Biden and Tramp. He can finish a sentence without messing up, without resorting to lies, i mean.. Where IS this fucking magical bar of standards?! wtf USA?
Bill, in rural areas, people are emotionally eating due to hopelessness. As Bernie often says "diseases of despair". A fairer economy would really help out!
He’s articulate, animated, intelligent above all and forthright and yet the democrats seem hell bent to have the lesser candidate as they did 4 years ago but this time a senile waxwork stand against the beast! That’s insane!
Man... the market is already having a problem with the corporate and federal debt. Giving us stuff we can’t afford... and this proposes to make it more dysfunctional, so we never get back.
There are not enough Americans who feel the same way you do about Bernie, unfortunately. I hope what they are experiencing now will change their views.
He is too sensible, logical and compassionate. That why they won't let him be the president. This against the current guy, there is simply no fight. Bernie going to win. But both parties don't want it.
Bernie's been finished since it became a 1-1 race. This was an easy question that anyone who understands how government works could have answered. He should have dropped out already, but then he'd have to stop paying his wife until June for working on his failing campaign team. There are numerous demographic groups that make up the Democratic base and he's only popular with teenagers and college kids: the least reliable voters in the country. He's behind by 300 delegates, NY and NJ are the only relatively large states left, and he's polling behind Biden by double digits in virtually every state. He made no effort to reach out to African Americans or moderate Democrats, and the only reason he was the front runner for a couple weeks is because Biden was splitting the vote with Bloomberg, Klobuchar, Pete and Warren. Bernie's been in politics the same amount of time as Biden, and he's only authored 7 bills that became law compared to Biden's 42, and 2 of them were for naming post offices. He's been in the legislature for 30 years; if he couldn't get anything accomplished in either chamber of Congress, being President wouldn't suddenly change that.
@@@colinomalley7932 Awwww, are you mad that your grifter candidate got obliterated? After all that money he panhandled from naive Americans like one of those televangelists he only got to be the front runner for a couple of weeks. Don't blame me because you can't deal with reality. Bernie was a shitty candidate in 2016 and he's doing even worse now. There's no reason for him to stay in a race that it's mathematically impossible for him to win. If BernieBros were really "progressives," the first thing on their mind would be RBG's SCOTUS seat. 5-4 is bad enough; 6-3 or even 7-2 for generations would guarantee that Roe gets overturned. BullshitBernie shouldn't even be able to run in the Democratic primary. He's not a Democrat. He's had decades to join the party and refused, but during primary season for the past 30 years he turns into a Democrat for just long enough to get his name on the ballot. It's not my fault your candidate is hated by the majority of voters. African Americans can't stand him, moderate Democrats can't stand him, and apparently most of the anti-Trump Republicans/independents can't stand him. His own colleagues say he's too stubborn to work with on any legislation, which is why Biden got 35 more bills passed in virtually the same amount of time. There's nothing that I said that isn't true, and you can call me a hack if it makes you feel better about your shitty candidate losing, but he would have gotten obliterated against Trump which is the main reason people voted for Biden. Trump got himself impeached trying to smear Biden, but up until a few weeks ago he's been holding rallies telling his supporters to vote for Bernie in the primary, even if they have to register as Democrats. And what do the crybaby BernieBros do? Threaten to stay home, write in Bernie's name, or vote for the Green Party. Even with another Supreme Court seat up for grabs for whoever wins the election, the fake progressives that support Bernie refuse to vote for Biden. It makes no difference. Bernie's base is mostly teenagers and college kids who are notoriously unreliable voters. This isn't 2016. Biden is doing far better in the Midwest than Hillary was, nobody's on the fence about Trump, there are plenty of anti-Trump moderates, conservatives, and independents, and even out of the people that voted for Bernie in the primary, only the foolish young voters who don't understand politics are willing to hand Trump another term just to spite the party that will actually pass the legislation BernieBros pretend to care about. Bernie was winning with Hispanic voters except the Cubans in Florida, but they're not going to vote for Trump or protest vote when their biggest concern is getting rid of Trump. It's only the whiny BernieBros, most of whom are young white males from privileged backgrounds who are saying they won't vote for Biden. It's downright pathetic that after years of Trump, you fake ideologues would gladly hand Trump another term, RBG's SCOTUS seat, and have none of the issues you pretend to care about addressed because your candidate lost. The media took it easy on Bernie so far. In the general it would have been a different story. That article he wrote about how women fantasize about being gang-raped while men fantasize about degrading women, the fact that he's never had a job outside of politics his entire life, his lack of a record of getting shit done as a legislator, his family going on welfare so he could run for governor and senator, and just the word "socialist" would have killed him in all the swing states. It's laughable that after campaigning for 5 years he still can't convince the majority of the left or the center to vote for him. Bernie raised over $100 million in 2019, and Biden didn't even have enough money for TV commercials going into Super Tuesday and still won by a landslide in states he didn't even campaign in. Even after Bernie skipped out on a rally he was supposed to hold in Mississippi (where black people make up 35%+ of the population) to spend more time campaigning in Michigan (where black people only make up 10-15% of the population), he still lost the state by 16%. California, Texas, Illinois, and Florida already voted, and Bernie only won California by 7% because Bloomberg and Warren were still in the race. The only big states in terms of population left are New York and New Jersey, and Bernie's polling behind Biden by double digits. I have a better chance at winning the Powerball every year for the next decade than Bernie does of winning this primary. Once Biden (easily) gets the 1,991 delegates he needs for the nomination, it will be hilarious to watch Bernie disappear into irrelevance. 7 bills in 30 years and 2 of them were for naming post offices--what a clown. Maybe if Bernie endorses Biden, Biden will make sure Bernie can author a bill to name his 3rd post office next year. What will the reply be? "OK Boomer" #Never Biden #Write in Bernie Or just threatening not to vote? There really is no difference between Trump supporters and BernieBros. Trump's supporters aren't "conservatives," they're a cult whose leader is a populist just like Bernie. That irrelevant "comedian" Joe Rogan who endorsed Bernie just said he'll be voting for Trump since Bernie lost. I would think that progressives would want to go after the conservative of the two parties, not the liberal one. I guess revolutions are too time-consuming. It's a good thing Bernie and his Bros weren't alive during the Revolutionary War. Instead of fighting for independence they would have just complained that they weren't independent. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Bernie you glorious bastard, somehow you managed to get your Socialist/ Communist agenda forced on the American people. This is the Pinnacle of your career. You now have government in control. You want to pay people to stay home and be afraid, you want to take away their life liberty and pursuit of happiness you've scored big-time.
This man is so wise and people in America are so stupid, incredibly how we can miss such a leader moment. TELL ME WHO SOUNDS MORE RATIONAL IN THE POLITICAL FIELD THAN BERNIE? GOSH. We have to put him straight away in the WH.
The Democratic National committee is repeating the same mistake made in 2016. They are going to run Biden. It sucks in my opinion too. But that's what is happening. That's why when Bernie won it was declared an app problem causing an irregularities.
He doesn't scare them. He's another establishment tool who acts as a sheepherder. He's a moderate who will ultimately fall in line with the establishment. He already has. If he was a TRUE leader and a TRUE revolutionary, he would accept the invitation if the Green Party and run against the corrupt two party system and he would call out the corruption of the Democrats.
Bernie's plans and $1 will get you a bag of chips. His pie in the sky policies have no way of passing. He's all talk. It's a shame people are gullible enough to believe he can actually get anything done.
@@Michelle-ju6vs No one will get anything meaningful done. Our "leaders" are ALL a fucking joke. And anyone who believes any meaningful change is going to happen without mass civil disobedience is living in a fairytale dream land.
@@tegridyfarms9972 Bernie a moderate? How the fuck? He's been an activist since he ran for office decades ago and has been preaching for equal rights and civil liberties forever. How is he a sheepherder? How do you expect a man who actually believe his principles to sound? And btw he's tried to run as an independent, it doesn't work, I thought that was obvious and discredits your whole short sighted argument. Being Independent screwed him over in 2016 because a lot of people couldn't vote for him in the primaries. Face it, the two party system is the only way in at the moment, that's how it's set up, it's rigged and people thinking Bernie is too left to defeat Trump is ridiculous, they're being biased to moderates and conservatives, some who I know would've voted for Bernie if Hilary weren't involved so instead voted Trump.
just for a 411 Biden lived through and prevented a pandemic plus they created the policy on what to do with pandemic but trump took it apart... he decided not to believe in the sciences (tists) Bermy can handle the same but having experiences Biden has it.

@@JosePerez-hk5ic If you live in a society where the most wealthy pollutes environments, corrupts politicians, collude in rape, slavery and human trafficking of minors, collapses global economies and contributes to the destruction of humanity using war for a country's resources, there is not much anyone has to do to point out those facts. There are enough facts to point how destructive extreme wealth has been to societies for at least 10,000 years. Humanity is addicted to wealth and power and can't seem to stop despite the destruction. We're on a destructive trajectory because of it. You can swallow the media garbage of hating a social system that provides the basics; income, housing, food and education. Such a society actually makes individuals more free to pursue happiness, which benefits the country. If some want to live on the basics, let them.

He answered every question so articulate and with so much substance! I honestly would feel much better about this crisis if Bernie was president. I know he’ll fight for us
In Canada, our free universal health care has been such a tremendous benefit and blessing. I have had numerous surgeries, testing, and hospital stays and have never, ever seen a bill. Canadians have the legendary, most admired Canadian, Tommy Douglas, to thank for that. Mr. Douglas formed the first Democratic Socialist party in Canada and in fact, in North America. His grandson, Keifer Sutherland is mighty proud of his Grandpa, and Mr. Douglas is revered as a true hero here in Canada. Bernie is a modern day true hero and a once in a lifetime candidate. Please, our American brothers and sisters, please support and vote for "America's Grandpa" Bernard Sanders. #Bernie2020 #Canadians4Bernie
In uk we too have a universal health care. From the cradle to the grave. We are proud of our nhs. You are right Bernie is the best candidate . USA you need him.
Live in Canada, I called my doctor's office at 8:15 and got an appointment for 9 am, had to get lab work at the hospital then get 3 prescriptions filled, all done and home by 11 am. Cost $11for the prescription. I would not want to live in a country that didn't have universal health!
Another Canadian here. I'm also proud of our system compared to what the US has. That said, health care is not free and it is not yet universal in Canada (we will get close to it if they manage to make national pharmacare happens, crossing fingers). It is not free but it is paid for in a fair way through taxation and thanks God our tax system is proportional. What Bernie is proposing is way more radical than what we have since he plans to eliminate private insurance. In Canada private insurance continues play a significant role. All in all we are way way better off than the US. But let's not send an inaccurate picture of our system to our American brothers and sisters.
Yeah, it's terrible the way we're living, and the worse line you'll ever hear from American here that'll make you want to kill yourself is this: "I love my insurance, I don't want Bernie to take that away from me." Idiots. Just idiots. Literally you love paying for healthcare. It's insane.
@The Irish Italian I'm Australian and we don't share a border with the US and have universal healthcare. Have you got another hypothesis? One that fits the evidence?
You reminded me of a really old SNL skit where Dukakis and Original Bush are debating and Dukakis looks at the cam and says "I can't believe i'm loosing to this guy." LOL
its true- it is hard to imagine grandpa joe responding to these questions with such focus. But , here we are. I'll vote for a two legged dog if that is who is running against #45.
cesar leon it’s thanks to the joint effort of Michael Bloomberg who stood a lot to lose with Bernie as POTUS and the DNC who wants to maintain their wealthy and corporate donors.
@cesar leon Sanders supporters don't actually vote. Youth turnout is a fantasy, Every political operator in the US knows this and builds election strategies around reaching older voters who actually show up at the polls. The democratic electorate (the people who actually vote) have totally repudiated Sanders from South Carolina onward. Biden has either already won or polls better in the crucial swing states needed to win. Sanders as the nominee virtually guarantees another four years of Donald Trump.
@@dang.s No, it's the Democratic voters who are rejecting him and breaking for Biden, because unlike Sanders' supporters they 1) actually show up to the polls, and 2) understand that Sanders will have his ass handed to him by Donald Trump, and the country can't afford that.
Thank you for interviewing Bernie and giving him the respect he deserves. I wanted to vote for him in 2016 and I want to vote for him in 2020. My concern is that the DNC will block him from running for president again. We need Bernie Sanders now more than ever!
october71777 Right Back at you. Where’s the tape? Ah right, maybe it’s because TRUMP IS squeezing Russia since day one. Trump loves Russia so much that he sent out navy to F with Venezuela. What a Russian lover right?
I still can't understand why this man doesn't have all the democratic delegates. People should look at the man not the label. No comparison to Biden as he is now.
It's a rigged system. The dnc is defrauding us out of our votes again and even when they determine the machines are rigged, the states are doing nothing. Everyone is paid off. The dems would rather have Trump than Sanders. Bernie will knock them all off the gravy train, including the media outlets that ignore and smear him and lie about the real numbers.
@@caroll6554 Or the more rational reason is that older voters vote form a disproportionate majority of the voters, and they find Bernie too far left. But you can stick with your "democracy is a lie " self victimizing.
It's older voters, esp older black voters, voting their FEARS. Trump is the worst evil, so the black Democratic voters are trying to game which candidate more white folks of both political parties will vote for, while the white Democratic voters are trying to game which candidate black Democratic voters will go for.
I’ve been critical of Bernie in the pass however an excellent interview by both men, Bernie spot on and Bill you let him talk, Mr. Maher please consider this simple format it’s superior to the old way, Bill you have brilliant insight likewise comedy keep it real
@@hhiippiittyy better late than never??? I'd take any positive news at this point. Pathetic it's come to my his. Now progressives are at each others' throats. And Trumper is whistling Dixie. Election will merely be a rubber stamp.
@@FoulDream. Bill was drooling over Mike Bloomberg. About a month ago, he roasted Bernie and his supporters after Bloomberg tanked in the elections. It was humiliating seeing a grown man have a temper tantrum on live tv.
Bill: How can the government come up with the money to pay these workers? How did the government pay to keep giving billionaires and multi-billion dollar corporations trillions in tax cuts, bailouts, and subsidies?
FDR had confronted similar issues of unemployment and getting people back to work and protecting the elderly so he got the Congress to come together and set a cap on incomes and a 93% income tax on wealth and even with the cost of the world war able to get it done. No the time to talk expense it's a must or the America we envision can be destroyed.
But in reality trump is easily one of the best sad to see globalist Chinese media has you so brainwashed against him that is if you people are even from the USA which I'm starting to think most are not that bitch about trump .
How is it fair? It was obviously scripted and Sanders was never pressed for details about his proposals, or how/if he may even have a path to the nomination at this point. Chances are that Maher is only interviewing him because he knows he won't be the nominee.
@@almamyers4 just socialism. It's a fairly safe bet that what you think is democratic socialism isn't. I'm in Hong Kong. I'm fairly horrified that anyone in the US was even considering voting for anyone who actually calls himself a socialist of any kind.

I’m a conservative but would agree with Bernie and we need to put money in the hands of the people that are now unemployed due to the virus. We shouldn’t be giving money to people who are still working or getting raises because their business is booming due to the coronavirus. Save the money for the people really need it. I’m still working so I don’t need a check from the government . Save that money for the people who need it.
As an independent I totally agree with you there. I personally see Bernie as vastly better than Joe Biden or Donald Trump. I think most people(including conservatives) see Bernie as better than Biden at least but because of the mainstream liberals, he wont get his shot.
In Norway, Bernie would be considered a conservative right-wing man. I like Bernie. He has his head in the right place and has the dose of empathy that a man in a leadership position should have. The problems you have in USA are that over several years, politicians, both Republicans and Democrats, have worked to legalize corruption by allowing large sums of money to go to politicians from interest groups, corporations and wealthy individuals. Another thing is the way the political hierarchy is organized. The president and the two dominant political parties have too much power. In Scandinavia, all political parties are represented in elections. You choose from the parties' election program and not the person. If a party does not have a pure majority after the election, they must negotiate with other parties to form a majority coalition. The negotiations will include who the leader of the country will be.
@@tjones2260 Bernie's view on medicare for all, and state subsidization of education is unquestionable among the parties that are conservative parties in Norway. (Høyre, Christian People's Party and The Progress Party).
nova00boss From Canada, our country is a Parliamentary democracy with a multi-party system. Bernie's ideas are absolutely mainstream. I wish to god we didn't share a very long border with the benighted, chaotic, socially backward USA.
He would be a centrist in the UK. He believes in capitalism as the system with socialist interventions like most of Europe. He supports localism, hunting and gun ownership. He’s for small business and free access to education and healthcare but not against private healthcare options.
Bill this is an excellent format, and probably less expensive to produce. We are going to come out from this situation much better than we were before: Bernie Sanders for President.
greatest candidate to ever have been on this show and I think his answer to the last question has been the best of any other candidate. Thank you Bill and co. for giving Bernie a platform to speak on.

#NotMeUs
Jesse Wilburn he was on 2 or 3 MSNBC shows.
I think this was actually one of Bernie's best interviews. Maher asked decent questions and Sanders gave concise detailed answers. I say this because he, at times, has a tendency to speak in overly general terms and fall back on the same phrases or slogans for answers. Here, however, I thought he was excellent. This is the Bernie the country needs to see more of and the one that needs to show up at the debates. Overall, well done by both gentlemen!
You should see his Joe Rogan interview
#bernie2020
I mean, if you think he speaks in overly generalized terms it's because he isn't always given 3 minutes to explain the 'how you gonna pay for it' question (and the other ones answered) for the 6 millionth time.

bill ain't got the balls to talk shit to bernie face to face, only when he is in front of a t.v. camera on some lame talk show.
Finally
As a European: Bernie Sanders is the obvious choice. Americans need to get over their everybody for themselves attitude.
The reason Bernie loses is because the media have made the argument that Biden is most likely to beat Trump and exit polls have shown that beating Trump is the most important topic for A LOT of voters. SO important apparently that they are willing to ignore their own policy preferences just to support Hillary 2.0 because the media said, he's "the most electable".
And old people are the voter block who'd fall for this propaganda (since they watch TV) and they came out in masses to vote for Biden.
Sad but true. :(
They rig our elections here in the USA. look at Bernie's crowd size at a Rally and then watch a Joe Biden Rally. We are fkd.

@The Irish Italian you either pay to keep people in the positions they are in now, or you pay them all unemployment benefits for an unknown amount of time while the system is re-built. We are doing exactly that here in Australia. America never seems to like paying money to support the people, only corporations, I've never understood that.
@Morgoth Bauglir as a fairly moderate Australian this is accurate. Americans (I know some are not how i describe, but I'm generalizing) are dogmatic about capitalism, there is no other way to put it. I've tried to explain a hundred times that our health care here works great, and is affordable, but I just get told ridiculous things like "American health care system is the best and most efficient in the world, socialist health care is a failure everywhere" it's crazy, I've been to 20+ countries and American healthcare is a nightmare.
Bernie Sanders is the only American politician that makes any sense, and actually cares about people, but Americans seem to have this "we know what we are doing and will never change" attitude which is so self defeating that it's sad to witness.
That's why he will never be president, no matter how bad I want him to be🙄

Refreshing with an interview where someone lets Sanders actually finish his sentences. I didn't expect this from Maher, to be honest.
When it helps common people, its always "how ya gonna pay for it?' Tax breaks for the rich, subsidies for big oil and the like, silence.
That ain't silence. That's the sound of some asshole making more money in a minute than you do in a whole year and buying yet another mansion
don't forget war 6.4 trillion dollars and counting.
Welcome to corrupt America. Want it to not be corrupt? Vote the corrupt assholes out and push to pass laws that limit lobbying and spending on giant corporate businesses like oil companies. That's the only way it'll stop
While that is indisputably true, Bill Maher isn’t one of the silent voices. In fact, he’s made that very point. But had he not asked about it in this interview, everyone would be like, “Wow Bill with the softball questions. What a pussy! Bernie is going to destroy the world. Blah blah blah I’m a faggot.”
So he’s gotta ask it. Plus, the question should be asked for any spending the government makes. The issue is that the same people who cry about the cost of social programs have no issue with an oil company paying zero in income tax and, in fact, getting a 130 million rebate while someone who makes 45,000 a year has 20% of their income taken by the government.
That‘s because too many people still believe that „trickle down“ fairy tale.
Bill asked important questions that truly fit the moment we are in, and he respectfully allowed Sen. Sanders to respond. Kudos to Bill Maher.

@@mj3332 he has explained u just don't understand or don't listen carefully...search and u will find.
@@mj3332 You're just dumb! Go watch TV, or something...
He's all talk. None of his policies have any chance of becoming laws. The Democrats don't control the Senate and McConnell won't allow a vote on any of his policies. Even if Democrats flip the Senate, they would still need GOP support for any of his policies. We're headed for a global recession and we already owe trillions; no Republicans are going to support M4A when they're trying to slash funding for regular Medicare. Free college and student loan relief have no way of passing either. Bernie's been talking about the same policies for years and he doesn't have enough allies in either chamber to get any of his bills out of committee intact, let alone pass either chamber with the majority they need. If he can't get anything done as a Senator, nothing will change if he wins the presidency. His foreign policy is also absurd. He thinks Russia should be part of NATO. He wouldn't be able to fix our relationships with our allies; he would only alienate them further. It's moot anyway. He has no chance of winning and at this point he's just delaying the inevitable. It's Biden vs. Trump. If Bernie's supporters are as progressive as they claim, they should want to ensure that we don't lose the SCOTUS for generations. RBG is 87 and I doubt she can last another term on the bench. If Clinton would have won, she would have retired already. Bernie's not electable at the national level. He's not likable. If having the best ideas equaled a guaranteed victory, we never would have had Bush or Trump.
The democratic candidates, almost everyone of them, would be a successful president. Saying that, while I will be voting for Biden, my candidate of choice would be senator Warren. I love Bernie, but I'm afraid he has not grown his base and that could hurt the outcome. What about the other ones? All but two should be cabinet members and/ or be in charge of many of the agencies controlled by the executive branch. Think about that!
God Bless Bernie Sanders. And thank you, Bill, for having him on.
Now that's how you conduct an interview with a presidential candidate. Taking notes, Whoopi?
not sure Whoopi’s the one who looked bad in that interview lol least not to offline non-progressives. (-a progressive 🤷🏻♀️)
That wasn't an interview. He got tossed a couple softball questions that anyone with knowledge of the political system could have answered. It's moot now that he dropped out and endorsed Biden, but he never got pressed about being a deadbeat dad who let his kid and his kid's mother go on welfare so he could run for governor and senator of VT, his rape fantasy essay, his praise of communism, or the fact that he rants about the "political establishment" even though he's never had a job outside of politics and he's been in politics for nearly 40 years. As far as foreign policy is concerned, he advocated for Russia to be added to NATO even after they annexed Crimea. Good thing he lost. He would have got blown away in the general judging by the primary results in Florida, Michigan, and Minnesota.
One-on-one interviews like this is the best thing we could have right now. No panels screaming at each other, just intelligent dialogue.

You need a populist to beat one. Biden will never get a single Trump voter and has a high probability of not getting Bernie voters. Truthfully if you really hate Trump you better not back Biden. A vote for Biden is a vote for Trump
The Trolls are out...
Medicare for All has the additional benefits that Bill is concerned about. Once the government takes responsibility for the payment of healthcare, the government realizes it is cheaper to make things healthier for people. That means improvements to other policies like the amount of pollution allowed in our air and water, food and safety inspection rules, sick time allowed, investment in cures, etc. Once the people's health has value, the government has a reason to care for and actually defend our citizens rather than allowing corporations to make money off of us regardless of consequences.
very good point, hadn't thought about it like that before
Well get all the goodies the citizens of Venezuela is getting
Silver Jones Hey Silver, a suggestion. Learn to speak the language with proper grammar before commenting. You just look dumb, and no one cares about your right wing cliches.
What makes you think Medicare for All is a good idea? Or what makes you think it will ever pass?
Consider this. Bernie has had 30 years to do something, anything, even just a little, to fix our health care system. Has he?
NOT ONE DAMNED THING.
Bernie has one of the WORST all time records in Congress when it comes to getting legislation passed. He’s pathetic. Have you ever read his legislation? It’s terrible. BLOATWARE.
So if you think this man who always fails is somehow miraculously now different, then you’re just dumb. Look at his record. He has no qualitifications to be President. The man fails well. He’s a life long loser. A do nothing. Ineffective. Useless, worthless, and inconsequential.
Absolutely wrong. He's called the amendment king because he's had more amendments passed than most other candidates. He has been on more picket lines than any other candidate. Check the Besos Act. Bernie helped to force Amazon, Walmart and Disney to increase wages. Not to mention he's the one who fought for additional unemployment pay, including benefits for the self employed in the latest stimulus bill and is now working on an unprecedented piece of legislation to bailout the American people during this crisis.
Stop listening to lies and actually check the man's record.
As ever, Bernie Sanders gets it. Move the heck over, Joe Biden.
THIS is what intelligence and leadership look like.
You looking for a President of the USA this is what the country deserves lets hope it happens. The Country deserves nothing better!
Bill Maher asked him the easiest questions. Biden beat the shit out of him because he's a fraud and Americans can see right through him. He's been in Congress longer than most of his base has been alive and all he's done is name a couple post offices. He's all talk. All of his pie in the sky policies are contingent on a Democratic controlled Senate and support in the House for his bills,; he has neither. Abe Simpson is just a left wing populist and his promises are no different than that wall Mexico was supposed to pay for. If he could actually get his legislation through Congress, it would have shown in the past 30 years. Naming 2 post offices is a laughable record. Biden was in Congress a few years longer than Bernie and managed to get 35 more bills passed. Nobody wants to work with that deadbeat dad.
Alan J Buddendeck I will never vote for Joe Biden and believe he is not mentally fit or morally fit.. I will vote down ticket.. but not for corrupt politician
The American voters have spoken and Biden is their choice, just as Hillary Clinton was their choice. Please take your candidate and have several seats before we reelect trump again.
STREETBUM President Trump is the most corrupt politician in history of the world
I've sometimes struggled with Maher's framing, but OH MY GOD what a breath of fresh air following that farce of an interview with The View
You can say that again, I think we also scared the shit out of him with the shitstorm that the view got after that.
Maher is still establishment just not wanting his head hunted by angry people tired of establishment media.

Bill is wrong here and there but he makes an effort, HW knows how to think. In places he's wrong he can be redeemed.
those bitches
That’s the best answer to that question anyone has given yet. Wouldn’t really expect anything less.
You're our voice of reason Bernie. Thank you for never ever giving up on humanity.
Bernie is a national treasure. God bless him and keep him well.
Respect to Bill for actually giving Bernie the airtime and allowing him full answers. I think even Bill has to come to the reality that Bernie is the wisest option at this point.
Bernie has been going to his show for years, way before 2016. Bill likes many of his ideas but then I honestly don't know why he says stupid things every now and then against him.
Very rare I was waiting for the interruptions and gaslighting interrogation, fear mongering questions. Media has generated fear of Bernie through constant scare tactics.
exactly my thoughts ... hardly anyone has given him the credit he deserves :/
It's sad that people like Bill Maher and Seth Meyers are the only ones asking Bernie
to do interviews right now. If literally anyone with a platform on MSNBC or CNN asked him he might do an interview, which is a lot more than you can say about Biden right now. And yet the media continues to ignore him. It breaks my heart how America is destroying itself.
@@the0ne809 For laughs !
I think this interview well defines the difference between a leader and a "boss." Mr. Sanders is clearly a leader.
Why are so many Americans refusing to let this man help them?
He can actually have a real conversation, explain his points, consider alternatives, cover multiple topics... His brain actually works!
Oh and also he hasn't been sexually inappropriate with anyone against their will.
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
Just listen to the clarity of Bernie's speech and thought compared to Joe Biden. It's like night and day.
Biden doesn't know how to put words into sentences anymore.
TPH2010
Some people speak better. Go back and look, Biden has always been a shit speaker and grew up with a terrible stutter. Biden’s fine.
Remember, one of the two had a heart attack.
then listen to the how realistic Bernie's ideas are compared to Biden's. Also night and day
TPH2010 that’s what we need, ppl that can present ideas well, not ppl that work with others and have good ideas. Elect the talkers that never goes wrong.
@@parik2878 you're a dope. Do you realize what's going on right now? Let's just let it burn down is what you'd want tou se selfish pos.
Thank you, Bill, for allowing Bernie the opportunity to share what’s really going on amidst the landslide of GOP propaganda & outrageous lies. Despite the depressing topics discussed, seeing these two have a productive conversation has unexpectedly lifted my spirits. Thank you again.
I actually like this version of Bills show more 😂. He doesn't interrupt.
howdydutt1e Yeah. You can actually here what the Bernie has to say. Amazing 😉
His studio audience are among the worst on TV
howdydutt1e He should continue this format after this mess 😆
And Bernie for President
I was mesmerized how quiet bill was could it be that even he has been shaken to his human core
Sad that we won't have intelligent plans like this in the highest office. The man is coherent, intelligent, realistic, compassionate, and articulate.
"It is literally beyond comprehension"
That is the phrase that best describes this presidency.
I refuse to say goodbye to Bernie, he's the only leader who's decisive. So sad if we miss this.
All remaining primaries,,mail in ballot and vote for Bernie Sanders. It is the only way forward for us all.
berniesanders.com/volunteer/
He's a worthless communist P.O.S. just like you.
I turned to Bernie's video's yesterday, when I broke down and tears kept falling, I can't explain why it happened, only that it just wouldn't stop, my eyes kept leaking tears. Turns out I was in a state of shock, yes shock, my doctor explained who is also a psych doc too, she said a lot of people are reporting the same things. She said our minds and body work as one, and most people right now are indeed in shock, the state of the universal conscience is in shock, and we are feeling the pain of the world. She told me to just focus on positive things and tears will stop at some point. So saw a newer Bernie video from Bernie on you tube, and just watching him, eased my pain and troubled soul stopped the tears. I actually found my faith in Bernie to allow to to feel better of a very depressing time. At this point, this is a hard thing to do.
You make me cry 😢 to.
John McQue you make me cry 😢 to.
jesus.
YES!! The abject SHOCK of BERNIE having the nomination outright STOLEN from him yet again. This time thanks to traitorous scumbags like MAYOR PETE and AMY KOBOCHAIR ending their campaigns on the eve of Super Tuesday and BETRAYING all of their supporters and financial backers and encouraging everyone to vote for JOE BIDEN. I have come to the conclusion after FIFTY YEARS on this earth that America is full of money-grubbing greedy selfish PIGS and ignorant, foolish, immature MAN-babies. Sometimes we get the leaders we deserve.
Hang in there. We will get through this on top 💜
When compared to Trump, Bernie is the only adult in the room!!!
So refreshing to see someone with intelligence
"How are you gonna pay for it". Ever since I learned about the US budget and how much is spent on "defense" I could never again take those comments seriously. Sanders had a perfect answer for every question. I would like to see Biden put together a coherent response.
BTW if Bernie is losing why does the entirety of RUclips still seem to support him?
@Frank Roth The US spends more on the military than the next 6 or 7 countries combined. Why?
Frank Roth and then something like coronavirus comes along and now our bombs can’t do much. Believe me no one wants to mess with us now because COVID is taking us out.
@Frank Roth If you study America's history of regime change and meddling in other countries' affairs whenever US interests are involved, it's not hard to figure out why we're in the Middle-East. Forget about the fact that it ruins countries and the people living there, it doesn't even further the interests of most Americans. Hence the need for a radical change. I don't think we should get caught up in labels. Sanders just wants to redirect the money being milked by corporations to services that help the many.
@Frank Roth I was responding to you. We know why the US is in the Middle East, it's not a mystery. I'm sure American hegemony is motivated in some part by safety, but it's clear that a lot of it is business. America has plenty of resources, but so much of it is syphoned off.
Bernie has a grip on reality and can articulate a potentially intelligent response unlike Trump and Biden, dangerous clowns and their sheep who believe their crap.
THIS IS WHAT A REAL LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD LOOKS LIKE
@BooBoo Bear What r u talking about?
@BooBoo Bear : Three elements have become clear after reading your answer to my question. 1) Your grip on sanity is weak. 2) You would benefit from returning to grade school to learn spelling and syntax. 3) I am so happy to not live in your country where people like you abound.

Bernie should show leadership by dropping out.
This was such a great interview. Shame he has since dropped out. 😞
He could have won easily if he had the balls to point out his opponent is a senile rapist. But his friendship with the rapist was too important
He supposedly is still on the ballot for those that had yet to vote. Although if it seems to make no difference it probably would be overlooked, unfortunately. So please, to those to have had yet to vote, vote for the one who has a brain and actuallu cares. People could still also write him in and if enough do it can't simply be overlooked or ignored.
Appreciate the whole "letting Bernie finish what he was saying" thing, Bill!
One of a kind!

@@tegridyfarms9972 Bernie accepting to run the on the Green Party ticket would certainly guarantee Trump's victory, which Bernie would want to prevent in any case. You are either a Trump voter or have an IQ of about 50. (in most cases they don't contradict each other)

BTW, Ive donated hundreds of dollars to Bernie's failing campaign. And I have to say, he's been an enormous disappointment. We don't need a moderate. We need a REAL leader who will bring a TRUE challenge to the corrupt system. The Democrats helped create that system every bit as much as the Republicans did, and a real leader would point that out.
finally he allows Bernie a fair interview

Trump = Hoover
Bernie = FDR
Yeah but fdr won

Bernie Sanders is the only candidate with guts and ability to fix the fundamental structural problems in America.
Unfortunately I don't think the American public are smart enough to recognize this.
True.
Nick Taylor he’s a man ahead of his time. More people get his policies today (at least a third of the US) than say the 1970s but even many Democrats are too institutionalized by the status quo to accept that the US has become a true oligarchy.
But doesn't he want to nationalize some business'? He thinks.... correct me if I'm incorrect" Castro did a great and Cuba's socialism is to be copied?
I'am from The Netherlands, Europe. I hope for you Americans this man is going to be your next President. You finally get the life we have in Europe! We live in a strong democracy, earn enough money to live a good life, all! have healthcare insurance, good pension, vacationtime, and a goverment who believes in a strong middleclass, because the middleclass is carrying the wealth of a country. And despite al of this The Netherlands is one of the richest countries in the world. Come on Americans, get awake and vote for this man! We often travel to your country for our holidays, love the country but I am always staggered about the difference between rich and poor in your country! We don't have that big difference in Europe. Take care of each other! Love to the USA.
Keoki Ciervo Bernie said that Castor did a great job getting Cuba literate. He praised him in his education possible. No crime there, it’s true. But he never said it should be copied, especially not their version which (like China and Russia) is Communism.
Socialism and Capitalism can co-exist as it does in much of Europe. No country does that Th w exact same way and many are still more capitalistic than socialistic. But all have national healthcare, higher ed, and a national pension. There other social programs we don’t have like national maternity/paternity leave.
They have both private and national companies. The national ones work to create more revenue for the government who is the primary owner tho some do have shares/bonds to buy. They keep industries like petroleum, power and telecom, honest by setting the market price for base utilities. They provide job opportunities and life long jobs like our Federal government. Statoil, for instance, is Norway’s national oil company and 49% of their profits are revenue for the country. There was a time up until the 1990s that there were many industries with federa, state or local government control including airlines and utilities. Bill Clinton deregulated ostensibly to spur innovation and better service through competition but all it did was drive up their prices to the consumers in most areas whohas led no other real choices. And where they did the FTC allowed too many mergers leading to monopolies or trusts.
How anyone can watch this and still say "Biden is our guy" is beyond me.
Because a lot of people who voted for Biden don't even watch his TV appearances, otherwise they'd realize how much he's mentally declined. They would also see the sexual assault allegation he has against him. But there's too many people who really dont educate themselves on the issues and the candidates and watch garbage like the View and think they're being informed.
Because defeating Trump is paramount. I prefer Sanders but have to consider which would be more likely to win in November. Sanders loyalists should vote for Biden but I thank Sanders for holding his fellow Democrat's feet to the fire on many progressive issues. But Biden appears to be more appealing to most Democratic voters.
nick cifuno Biden has only won states with only voting machines. States that have did early voting and write ins all went for Bernie. Weird.
When Bernie is calm and allowed a platform where he has the time to explain in more detail his ideas, he is very compelling. He doesn’t have gaffes or malignant narcissism. He is just a very intelligent man that has big ideas, that his public doesn’t seem to grasp the simplicity of. His frustration is palpable. And, big money hates him!
probably the biggest reason i have infinite respect for bernie is that he is frustrated SO LITTLE! i mean, the guy's been sayin the same shit for 40 years and too many people in the US are still too stupid to understand that it's right what he's saying and that he's the right person to be president.... i would've given up completely frustrated after 5 years max....but bernie just never gives up. never seen a man with more patience and mental stamina
Iris, the groups who manage the debates, plan the failure by asking stupid questions to pit one against the other and with less then a minute to respond.
Benjamin Uhlmann First time I have actually him explain it simply & without fire. I from Canada so already get it. We really don’t get why so many are against common, good sense, less expensive major policies. Spread the word but safely. 🇨🇦
Couldn't have said it better.
He is the pied piper of the ill-informed youth who feel entitled to other people's money
Thank you Bill for continuing your show during this terrible situation, and thank you for having Senator Bernie Sanders on again. Senator Sanders is a great tonic against this raw time!
Wow. A fair interview of Bernie. Better late than never...
Finally a fair interview with decent questions and room to explain your positions. And by Bill Maher? I'm in shock.
omg this is so good! Best news of today.
Well, this is an era of firsts. Bill actually let Bernie talk and wasn't smug or condescending.
he didn't have a crowd to play to.
Maybe he's laying off the weed during CV?
@@Zomgtforly exactly
so much better than his last interview! Bill has said some not so nice things about Bernie :0(
We are seeing a live Pivot happening. Pay attention people!
When we need the most chance right now only Bernie has the policies to help us. Trump is barely trying and Biden obviously couldn’t handle something like this since his whole thing is nothing needs to change
Hearing a reasonable politician express safe and smart policies brings me to tears.
I have listened to all three remaining candidates on multiple occasions, can anyone seriously deny Bernie is providing the sanest, most rational leadership as compared to Trump or Biden? Interesting times indeed
I don't get it either. Aside from the fact that Bernie was already my favorite back in 2016.
But.. wow, if you compare him to Biden and Tramp. He can finish a sentence without messing up, without resorting to lies, i mean.. Where IS this fucking magical bar of standards?! wtf USA?

DethstruXioN ™ A sentence is all he can finish.
@@perryberman2824 Which is more than the others guys can muster up, so yes, Bernie is objectively better.
Bill, in rural areas, people are emotionally eating due to hopelessness. As Bernie often says "diseases of despair". A fairer economy would really help out!
He’s articulate, animated, intelligent above all and forthright and yet the democrats seem hell bent to have the lesser candidate as they did 4 years ago but this time a senile waxwork stand against the beast! That’s insane!
I forgot what “Presidential” looks like. Very refreshing.
Trump would be on to brag about all he has done, not much.
Man... the market is already having a problem with the corporate and federal debt. Giving us stuff we can’t afford... and this proposes to make it more dysfunctional, so we never get back.
Caito Jones, Americans vote for looks, not on how the country will be governed.
BERNIE IS A FUCKING JOKE
There are not enough Americans who feel the same way you do about Bernie, unfortunately. I hope what they are experiencing now will change their views.
He is too sensible, logical and compassionate. That why they won't let him be the president. This against the current guy, there is simply no fight. Bernie going to win. But both parties don't want it.
Bernie's been finished since it became a 1-1 race. This was an easy question that anyone who understands how government works could have answered. He should have dropped out already, but then he'd have to stop paying his wife until June for working on his failing campaign team. There are numerous demographic groups that make up the Democratic base and he's only popular with teenagers and college kids: the least reliable voters in the country. He's behind by 300 delegates, NY and NJ are the only relatively large states left, and he's polling behind Biden by double digits in virtually every state. He made no effort to reach out to African Americans or moderate Democrats, and the only reason he was the front runner for a couple weeks is because Biden was splitting the vote with Bloomberg, Klobuchar, Pete and Warren.
Bernie's been in politics the same amount of time as Biden, and he's only authored 7 bills that became law compared to Biden's 42, and 2 of them were for naming post offices. He's been in the legislature for 30 years; if he couldn't get anything accomplished in either chamber of Congress, being President wouldn't suddenly change that.
@@Michelle-ju6vs You lie, hack.
@@@colinomalley7932 Awwww, are you mad that your grifter candidate got obliterated? After all that money he panhandled from naive Americans like one of those televangelists he only got to be the front runner for a couple of weeks. Don't blame me because you can't deal with reality. Bernie was a shitty candidate in 2016 and he's doing even worse now. There's no reason for him to stay in a race that it's mathematically impossible for him to win.
If BernieBros were really "progressives," the first thing on their mind would be RBG's SCOTUS seat. 5-4 is bad enough; 6-3 or even 7-2 for generations would guarantee that Roe gets overturned. BullshitBernie shouldn't even be able to run in the Democratic primary. He's not a Democrat. He's had decades to join the party and refused, but during primary season for the past 30 years he turns into a Democrat for just long enough to get his name on the ballot. It's not my fault your candidate is hated by the majority of voters. African Americans can't stand him, moderate Democrats can't stand him, and apparently most of the anti-Trump Republicans/independents can't stand him. His own colleagues say he's too stubborn to work with on any legislation, which is why Biden got 35 more bills passed in virtually the same amount of time.
There's nothing that I said that isn't true, and you can call me a hack if it makes you feel better about your shitty candidate losing, but he would have gotten obliterated against Trump which is the main reason people voted for Biden. Trump got himself impeached trying to smear Biden, but up until a few weeks ago he's been holding rallies telling his supporters to vote for Bernie in the primary, even if they have to register as Democrats. And what do the crybaby BernieBros do? Threaten to stay home, write in Bernie's name, or vote for the Green Party. Even with another Supreme Court seat up for grabs for whoever wins the election, the fake progressives that support Bernie refuse to vote for Biden.
It makes no difference. Bernie's base is mostly teenagers and college kids who are notoriously unreliable voters. This isn't 2016. Biden is doing far better in the Midwest than Hillary was, nobody's on the fence about Trump, there are plenty of anti-Trump moderates, conservatives, and independents, and even out of the people that voted for Bernie in the primary, only the foolish young voters who don't understand politics are willing to hand Trump another term just to spite the party that will actually pass the legislation BernieBros pretend to care about. Bernie was winning with Hispanic voters except the Cubans in Florida, but they're not going to vote for Trump or protest vote when their biggest concern is getting rid of Trump.
It's only the whiny BernieBros, most of whom are young white males from privileged backgrounds who are saying they won't vote for Biden. It's downright pathetic that after years of Trump, you fake ideologues would gladly hand Trump another term, RBG's SCOTUS seat, and have none of the issues you pretend to care about addressed because your candidate lost. The media took it easy on Bernie so far. In the general it would have been a different story. That article he wrote about how women fantasize about being gang-raped while men fantasize about degrading women, the fact that he's never had a job outside of politics his entire life, his lack of a record of getting shit done as a legislator, his family going on welfare so he could run for governor and senator, and just the word "socialist" would have killed him in all the swing states.
It's laughable that after campaigning for 5 years he still can't convince the majority of the left or the center to vote for him. Bernie raised over $100 million in 2019, and Biden didn't even have enough money for TV commercials going into Super Tuesday and still won by a landslide in states he didn't even campaign in. Even after Bernie skipped out on a rally he was supposed to hold in Mississippi (where black people make up 35%+ of the population) to spend more time campaigning in Michigan (where black people only make up 10-15% of the population), he still lost the state by 16%. California, Texas, Illinois, and Florida already voted, and Bernie only won California by 7% because Bloomberg and Warren were still in the race. The only big states in terms of population left are New York and New Jersey, and Bernie's polling behind Biden by double digits. I have a better chance at winning the Powerball every year for the next decade than Bernie does of winning this primary. Once Biden (easily) gets the 1,991 delegates he needs for the nomination, it will be hilarious to watch Bernie disappear into irrelevance. 7 bills in 30 years and 2 of them were for naming post offices--what a clown. Maybe if Bernie endorses Biden, Biden will make sure Bernie can author a bill to name his 3rd post office next year. What will the reply be?
"OK Boomer"
#Never Biden

Or just threatening not to vote?
There really is no difference between Trump supporters and BernieBros. Trump's supporters aren't "conservatives," they're a cult whose leader is a populist just like Bernie. That irrelevant "comedian" Joe Rogan who endorsed Bernie just said he'll be voting for Trump since Bernie lost. I would think that progressives would want to go after the conservative of the two parties, not the liberal one. I guess revolutions are too time-consuming. It's a good thing Bernie and his Bros weren't alive during the Revolutionary War. Instead of fighting for independence they would have just complained that they weren't independent.

@@tegridyfarms9972 Bernie a moderate? How the fuck? He's been an activist since he ran for office decades ago and has been preaching for equal rights and civil liberties forever. How is he a sheepherder? How do you expect a man who actually believe his principles to sound? And btw he's tried to run as an independent, it doesn't work, I thought that was obvious and discredits your whole short sighted argument. Being Independent screwed him over in 2016 because a lot of people couldn't vote for him in the primaries. Face it, the two party system is the only way in at the moment, that's how it's set up, it's rigged and people thinking Bernie is too left to defeat Trump is ridiculous, they're being biased to moderates and conservatives, some who I know would've voted for Bernie if Hilary weren't involved so instead voted Trump.
What a difference from the Biden interviews lately 🙄
But Biden is going to do things and stuff.
I thought we couldn’t say this out loud 🤔
Listen Fat
just for a 411 Biden lived through and prevented a pandemic plus they created the policy on what to do with pandemic but trump took it apart... he decided not to believe in the sciences (tists) Bermy can handle the same but having experiences Biden has it.
Noemy Quinones would help no to have mental decline .
TIME FOR BERNIE'S FDR STYLE POLICIES, LIKE MEDICARE FOR ALL. IT'S NOT SOCIALISM...IT'S AMERICANISM.
It's not Americanism it's venezualism
@@silverjones2317 It's so disappointing watching so many of you parrot media garbage.
@@robertnicholls9917 believe me its not media garbage, all free for all and hate the rich it is something with socialism start before fuck the economy of a country xd i am latino so i can tell you that
@@JosePerez-hk5ic If you live in a society where the most wealthy pollutes environments, corrupts politicians, collude in rape, slavery and human trafficking of minors, collapses global economies and contributes to the destruction of humanity using war for a country's resources, there is not much anyone has to do to point out those facts.
There are enough facts to point how destructive extreme wealth has been to societies for at least 10,000 years. Humanity is addicted to wealth and power and can't seem to stop despite the destruction. We're on a destructive trajectory because of it.
You can swallow the media garbage of hating a social system that provides the basics; income, housing, food and education. Such a society actually makes individuals more free to pursue happiness, which benefits the country. If some want to live on the basics, let them. They won't be endangering society trying to escape poverty being exploited by wealthy crime lords.
@@robertnicholls9917 probides basic? Really? I know your point and believe there countrys that can do that but they are not socialist, the have the more free economy and really low taxes something that your bernie doesnt like, he said the fucking Cuba was good because all of them know how to read? Do you know Cuba? They have he basic like you said them why they wanna run away from that country? Why they are starving? If socialism works so well why in all fucking history of all fucking time when a country try socialism that ends with slaughter people? And people starving and running away to evil capitalism countrys jaja or do you think Venezuela is fuck becouse usa? Bro that is media garbage
He answered every question so articulate and with so much substance!
I honestly would feel much better about this crisis if Bernie was president. I know he’ll fight for us
In Canada, our free universal health care has been such a tremendous benefit and blessing. I have had numerous surgeries, testing, and hospital stays and have never, ever seen a bill. Canadians have the legendary, most admired Canadian, Tommy Douglas, to thank for that. Mr. Douglas formed the first Democratic Socialist party in Canada and in fact, in North America. His grandson, Keifer Sutherland is mighty proud of his Grandpa, and Mr. Douglas is revered as a true hero here in Canada. Bernie is a modern day true hero and a once in a lifetime candidate. Please, our American brothers and sisters, please support and vote for "America's Grandpa" Bernard Sanders. #Bernie2020 #Canadians4Bernie
In uk we too have a universal health care. From the cradle to the grave. We are proud of our nhs. You are right Bernie is the best candidate . USA you need him.
Live in Canada, I called my doctor's office at 8:15 and got an appointment for 9 am, had to get lab work at the hospital then get 3 prescriptions filled, all done and home by 11 am. Cost $11for the prescription. I would not want to live in a country that didn't have universal health!
Another Canadian here. I'm also proud of our system compared to what the US has. That said, health care is not free and it is not yet universal in Canada (we will get close to it if they manage to make national pharmacare happens, crossing fingers). It is not free but it is paid for in a fair way through taxation and thanks God our tax system is proportional. What Bernie is proposing is way more radical than what we have since he plans to eliminate private insurance. In Canada private insurance continues play a significant role. All in all we are way way better off than the US. But let's not send an inaccurate picture of our system to our American brothers and sisters.
Yeah, it's terrible the way we're living, and the worse line you'll ever hear from American here that'll make you want to kill yourself is this:
"I love my insurance, I don't want Bernie to take that away from me."
Idiots. Just idiots.
Literally you love paying for healthcare. It's insane.
@The Irish Italian I'm Australian and we don't share a border with the US and have universal healthcare.
Have you got another hypothesis? One that fits the evidence?
i cant believe Biden is winning over this man.
You reminded me of a really old SNL skit where Dukakis and Original Bush are debating and Dukakis looks at the cam and says "I can't believe i'm loosing to this guy." LOL
its true- it is hard to imagine grandpa joe responding to these questions with such focus. But , here we are. I'll vote for a two legged dog if that is who is running against #45.
cesar leon it’s thanks to the joint effort of Michael Bloomberg who stood a lot to lose with Bernie as POTUS and the DNC who wants to maintain their wealthy and corporate donors.
@cesar leon Sanders supporters don't actually vote. Youth turnout is a fantasy, Every political operator in the US knows this and builds election strategies around reaching older voters who actually show up at the polls. The democratic electorate (the people who actually vote) have totally repudiated Sanders from South Carolina onward.
Biden has either already won or polls better in the crucial swing states needed to win. Sanders as the nominee virtually guarantees another four years of Donald Trump.
@@dang.s No, it's the Democratic voters who are rejecting him and breaking for Biden, because unlike Sanders' supporters they 1) actually show up to the polls, and 2) understand that Sanders will have his ass handed to him by Donald Trump, and the country can't afford that.
So clear. So together. So prepared. So able to get the point across.
And kudos to Bill for having Bernie on. I know they aren’t best of buddies.
Thank you for interviewing Bernie and giving him the respect he deserves. I wanted to vote for him in 2016 and I want to vote for him in 2020. My concern is that the DNC will block him from running for president again. We need Bernie Sanders now more than ever!
Imagine how this would be going if he'd been President. Missed opportunities are a real kick in the nards, ain't they?
Are you that keen to speak Russian and Chinese?
@@noirrain6005 That card is sooooo played. You need to come up with a new one Noir. Trump speaks Russian very well. :-) So played right?
He's the guy with big plans but no way to implement them. Too bad Bill was scraping the barrel for guests tonight.
october71777 Right Back at you. Where’s the tape? Ah right, maybe it’s because TRUMP IS squeezing Russia since day one. Trump loves Russia so much that he sent out navy to F with Venezuela. What a Russian lover right?
@@noirrain6005 the buffoon in chief couldn't make it, actually
I still can't understand why this man doesn't have all the democratic delegates. People should look at the man not the label. No comparison to Biden as he is now.
Democrats are basically GOP LITE
It's a rigged system. The dnc is defrauding us out of our votes again and even when they determine the machines are rigged, the states are doing nothing. Everyone is paid off. The dems would rather have Trump than Sanders. Bernie will knock them all off the gravy train, including the media outlets that ignore and smear him and lie about the real numbers.
Indeed. But it reflects the mental and intellectual state of the populace
@@caroll6554 Or the more rational reason is that older voters vote form a disproportionate majority of the voters, and they find Bernie too far left. But you can stick with your "democracy is a lie " self victimizing.
It's older voters, esp older black voters, voting their FEARS. Trump is the worst evil, so the black Democratic voters are trying to game which candidate more white folks of both political parties will vote for, while the white Democratic voters are trying to game which candidate black Democratic voters will go for.
I will be voting for Bernie in November.
I’ve been critical of Bernie in the pass however an excellent interview by both men, Bernie spot on and Bill you let him talk, Mr. Maher please consider this simple format it’s superior to the old way, Bill you have brilliant insight likewise comedy keep it real
Thanks for having him Bill. He wasn't your favorite, but hey, you had him on. Thanks.
@@FoulDream probably that corporate shill Mayor Pete
Maybe bill is willing to settle for anyone who can beat trump. He's a pragmatist. It's why I like his show.
I think Bill realizes that Biden is no longer viable.
"Help me Bernie-won, you're our only hope"
@@hhiippiittyy better late than never??? I'd take any positive news at this point. Pathetic it's come to my his. Now progressives are at each others' throats. And Trumper is whistling Dixie. Election will merely be a rubber stamp.
@@FoulDream. Bill was drooling over Mike Bloomberg. About a month ago, he roasted Bernie and his supporters after Bloomberg tanked in the elections. It was humiliating seeing a grown man have a temper tantrum on live tv.
Bill: How can the government come up with the money to pay these workers?
How did the government pay to keep giving billionaires and multi-billion dollar corporations trillions in tax cuts, bailouts, and subsidies?
We've burned trillions just trying to keep the stock market afloat over the last two weeks.
Or how come the US spent trillions more in military spending then any other country...just to start illegal wars
A TRILLION a day for the big banks!!
FDR had confronted similar issues of unemployment and getting people back to work and protecting the elderly so he got the Congress to come together and set a cap on incomes and a 93% income tax on wealth and even with the cost of the world war able to get it done. No the time to talk expense it's a must or the America we envision can be destroyed.
@The Irish Italian if not pay as you go, it gets added to the deficit.
Excellent plan I agree with Bernie
It hurts to hear the president we could have and remember the president we currently have...
Yeah, no self glorification rambling speeches. Really weird. He stayed on topic.
The DNCs fault.
trump is the best president in history
Verga Burro Yes the DNC and Hillary . Running that pussy grab commercial when she had a husband like that ?
But in reality trump is easily one of the best sad to see globalist Chinese media has you so brainwashed against him that is if you people are even from the USA which I'm starting to think most are not that bitch about trump .
Wow, this is actually a fair interview. Benign, but fair.
squallofreeves yes I guess bill is a progressive when his boss doesn’t stare him down
doesnt matter we got Joe
goo maker naw fuck that
There is no audience to play to!
How is it fair? It was obviously scripted and Sanders was never pressed for details about his proposals, or how/if he may even have a path to the nomination at this point. Chances are that Maher is only interviewing him because he knows he won't be the nominee.
this is common sense ... so no way this happens in America
Socialism in a nutshell
Daniel Duvalle correction Democratic socialism
@@almamyers4 just socialism.
It's a fairly safe bet that what you think is democratic socialism isn't.
I'm in Hong Kong.
I'm fairly horrified that anyone in the US was even considering voting for anyone who actually calls himself a socialist of any kind.
@@bobs_toys Stay in Hong Kong. Maybe you're willing to let the common folk suffer whatever fate should befall them without government interference..but that's the surest way to make an ANTI-CAPITALISM REVOLUTION take place. FOR knew it...and so should today's politicians.
@@brettrobinson2901 what do you think socialism is?
While we're at it. Do you have any idea of why someone in Hong Kong would be horrified at someone who calls himself a socialist getting the vote?
Bernie 2020 2024 🦋🦋🦋🌈🌈🌈
I’m a conservative but would agree with Bernie and we need to put money in the hands of the people that are now unemployed due to the virus. We shouldn’t be giving money to people who are still working or getting raises because their business is booming due to the coronavirus. Save the money for the people really need it. I’m still working so I don’t need a check from the government . Save that money for the people who need it.
I thought so too.
As an independent I totally agree with you there. I personally see Bernie as vastly better than Joe Biden or Donald Trump. I think most people(including conservatives) see Bernie as better than Biden at least but because of the mainstream liberals, he wont get his shot.
Thank you! It is refreshing to see a reasonable comment from the other side of the political aisle. Stay safe, stay healthy.
You too.
@@AUsernameTooMany I've seen more insanity from liberals lately than I have conservative. No joke.
In Norway, Bernie would be considered a conservative right-wing man. I like Bernie. He has his head in the right place and has the dose of empathy that a man in a leadership position should have.
The problems you have in USA are that over several years, politicians, both Republicans and Democrats, have worked to legalize corruption by allowing large sums of money to go to politicians from interest groups, corporations and wealthy individuals. Another thing is the way the political hierarchy is organized. The president and the two dominant political parties have too much power. In Scandinavia, all political parties are represented in elections. You choose from the parties' election program and not the person. If a party does not have a pure majority after the election, they must negotiate with other parties to form a majority coalition. The negotiations will include who the leader of the country will be.
Can you elaborate on why he will be called a conservative right-wing man in Norway? I'm really curious. Thanks
@@tjones2260 same question from me to!
@@tjones2260 Bernie's view on medicare for all, and state subsidization of education is unquestionable among the parties that are conservative parties in Norway. (Høyre, Christian People's Party and The Progress Party).
nova00boss From Canada, our country is a Parliamentary democracy with a multi-party system. Bernie's ideas are absolutely mainstream. I wish to god we didn't share a very long border with the benighted, chaotic, socially backward USA.
He would be a centrist in the UK. He believes in capitalism as the system with socialist interventions like most of Europe. He supports localism, hunting and gun ownership. He’s for small business and free access to education and healthcare but not against private healthcare options.
Bill this is an excellent format, and probably less expensive to produce. We are going to come out from this situation much better than we were before: Bernie Sanders for President.
@Aaron A420, exactly.
great to see you both and glad you're staying safe! We need you both!
