A New Hope was a pivotal film. If you look at the movies from the decade before it to the decade after it you can see almost single handedly where it made the shift to films that were more tonally optimistic and more open to science fiction and fantasy.
Never understood how Americans call him “radical” and dude is just fighting for basic stuff that are normal all over the world, even in capitalists countries.
Americans don't call him radical, multi-millionaires in media do who don't want their taxes to go up. He is radical to them only. God Even though Bernie's work has been so important I wish he was born more recently. Dude would be unstoppable. Unfortunately most people don't give him the time of day to see he's still extremely sharp.
I have no idea how this man has maintained sanity screaming common sense into the void for his entire adult life. A lesser man, myself included, would lose it. You can say whatever you want about Bernie Sanders, but you can never take that away from him-this man has been FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL for basic human rights and the middle class vs autocrats and the obscenely wealthy. I cannot possibly show enough respect to Bernie Sanders, and the fact that he never got the support he needed to become president keeps me up at night, sometimes.
Bernie is obscenely wealthy like most of the people that have been in politics all their lives and never had to actually work. The authoritarianism he promotes has nothing to do with human rights.
It's all a show to win over voters that wouldn't normally vote Democrat, he's know very well we'll never make the changes he preaches voting red or blue
By supporting Kamala and the party that "keeps progressive in line", he himself "minimize that difference"... Controlled opposition either way. US may change parties and rhetoric, but never owners: fake country, fake democracy.
I feel like I have to take two separate political positions depending on which group I'm talking to lol I'm left of democrats so when I'm talking to democrats I need them to know that. But if a libertarian or "moderate" ever catches me saying I don't belong to either major political party I have to quickly let them know that's absolutely not because I'm with them.
@@jijittersTruly & spot on quoting “moderates” because they are almost NEVER genuine moderates, lol. “I’m just an unbiased moderate speaking facts” is the far right wing’s new wolf in sheep’s clothing.
That dream is way past its time . Also he would not have been great bcz he's always been weak on the empire. He would have been the least shitty president . but still he's a peace of shit
Bobby Kennedy was also pretty brave for being anti-vietnam war. They shot him dead six months after Dr.King was assassinated. Rest in Peace JFK, RFK, MLK 🕊️

I watched Obama's interview then I watched this one. It is so nice to listen to Bernie talk without measuring and calculating every damn word that comes out of his mouth. It was so nice for Bernie to actually say things and be honest.
To be fair, Obama has more experience with racism in a country where there is great risk to black men speaking freely. When he said the right things, they still attacked his legitimacy to be president. They called him Muslim as if it was a slur. They claimed he hadn’t been born in the US. It’s probably a survival skill.
Yep. I'm 5'-3". Got to talk to him at an event and he put was arm around my shoulders for a pat when he found out I campaigned for him in the most Tepublican part of the state. He tall.
Somehow that thrills me. I wish I could see/meet him in real life. When it seemed like he might win, for that short period way back when, I swore I would travel to the USA for his inauguration. I meant it. Sadly....
I met Mayor of Burlington Mr Sanders with my class of Political Science students - He explained to us why in usa it was impossible for a third party candidate to get elected president. Have never forgotten him
@@jennifermuir1427 He's 82, he should quit yesterday. He thinks narcissistically he has a free pass. What an idiot. His viewpoint on Israel is heinous, scattershot with incorrect facts. I see him as self hating Jew married to a Catholic who still holds himself out as a Jew. Beyond despicable.
The fact that Bernie has not gone completely insane from trying to push the party that is more on the side of the people to stop ignoring the interests of the people is such a testament to his character and his capacity for hope. Absolutely love him.
He made a good point on the positive change he HAS seen in his lifetime. Often times we focus on the negative and forget about what does gradually improve over time. The trick is to always fight the good fight and never go "bust".
Bernie has NOT been trying to push the party left lmao. his goal is to funnel the voters to the right. Name an election in the last 30 years where he endorsed an actual progressive that wouldnt commit war crimes?
Sanders worked gigs till the age of 40 and never had much money (or income stability). While he stubbornly tried to run for office (gov. House, etc.) with a small independent left party, they always lost, I think the best results they ever had was 10 %. I think he was genuinely thankful for winning the mayor's race. *_Calling into the void_* and constantly bringing up The Issues and doing what was possible is what he has done since his mid twenties - but now at least it came with income security, a good healthcare plan and even a bit of prestige. Winning the race for mayor in Burlington opened new opportunities * for him, from that office he launched himself to D.C. (with some more stubborn / diligent work). He met Jane during the party after winning the race for mayor (she was smitten by his passion and visions she said). So a lot of things fell in place for him at age 40. He had a job (at least for 2 years), money, and a family incl. some step children. * He made the best of the office of mayor of Burlington despite unfair tactics of the council members (aldermen - that was a D insider club and they were furious that this unknown Independent had unseated one of the most important Democrats in little Vermont). That office gave him the opportunity to get some name recognition in the state, and after a few more lost races he won a House seat. I may also have impressed on him on a deep level, that there is always something that _can_ be done despite unfair opposition, that voters will reward those efforts - if you explain it to them. And that holding contact to the voters and EXPLAINING things to them is crucial. For him it is not just a strategy, it secured his financial and professional future. Sanders was not good 9 - 5 cubicle material so I wonder what his life would be like if he had not had that surprising win at age 40 (it was a lot of steady work, building on years of experience with seemingly futile campaigns. AND some luck). It is worth noticing that whenever he won an office - he then continuted to win the races for it with ever increasing margins. He got good grades from his constituents (first mayor - they have term limits, then member of the House, then Senator). I think he never forgot to be thankful for the job of representing The People and the income and health insurance that comes with it. So that keeps him sane, constantly talking about the same issues and there is not much progress comes with the job. Being thankful for the income is a good mindset, because a lot of his collegues are not content with the 160k a year + healthcare or whatever it is. So they are eager to cozy up to the big donors, they have the cushy position for ex politicians in mind (for former services rendered for the big donors). I think he was lonely when he started out in Congress (in the House). But again he was stubborn enough to not be discouraged and he did his thing. One advantage - his flights home at the weekend from D.C. are not that long. So on the weekends he could regenerate.
Thank you for this interview! As an European, this gentleman is an average social democrat, not a "far-left" individual. The US lost a hell of an opportunity when not choosing Bernie a couple of years ago. Fortunately, you can listen to him, go to the streets, and be more active. I'll certainly do the same in Portugal, and try to reduce the borders of polarization (which for sure is super limited, but I'll do what I can). Power to the people.
As an American citizen of Jewish background (I'm personally atheist), this is such an important conversation. Visiting Israel, through Birthright almost 20 years ago, only solidified my position that Palestinians deserve the right to their own state. The horrors that happened to my people in Europe due to the rise of Hitler should NEVER have led to some of the same exact crimes being perpetrated on a different population at our hands. It's unconscionable, to put it mildly. It's too late to go back and undo the past.... but at a bare minimum Palestine needs independence and the right to self-determination and all of the land stolen since the Oslo accords agreement returned
Well nobel thought. Then that means Israel won't exist the only 'Jewish' country... Don't they have a right for defence? And couldn't palestanians settle in peace with coexistence after those accords and not start first war with help of Arab countries??? And if jews leave Israel where will they go? Will they be persecuted in 47 Islamic states? Will they go to US? What is root cause & solution? I believe Islam needs reform and coexisit. Not hate Jews and other faiths. Period.
You are whats wrong with Canada. Thinking like that will make Canada more of a socialist state than the Scandinavian nations. I'm sure you're coming from a good place but uber left wing thinking is killing the nation
@@pandugeet The elites are the one to decide who to govern us and Bernie isn't benefiting the rich. To them, Trump, Hillary, and Kamala are the folks that the rich can push to do their bidding
Bernie gets us... he's just seen some things... been through some things... and doesn't play around. The man is a civil rights beast and and advocating animal!
It's funny how most of my contemporaries make fun of you young folks' being "unserious," but when it comes to politics, you're the only demo that isn't half nuts. You're the only ones voting on big moral, justice, and environmental problems that my peers mostly ignore. You're the only ones that seem not to believe whatever online nonsense strokes your ego. You're the bright spot in the data, and about sixty percent of the people I went to high school with in the Eighties have gone full ... well, you know. I had no idea it would take this many generations for people to finally acquire some media literacy. Oops.
Same. I feel like even Hasan missed how powerful that was. He's getting older and needs to pass the torch. We need to all be more serious with our activism.
That struck me as such a strange moment as well. Our politicians constantly (on both sides) would rather just blabber on about a subject they genuinely are not educated about rather than admit the truth that they may not have all the details.Bernie just calls it like it is which is so comforting to me.
Bernie Sanders is a great politician but I don't know if he would have been able to deliver as a President. He would have had huge pushback working with the House and Senate from the GOP and by some Dems making his policy vision a non-start.
@@BimRen246 Bernie certainly would not have let 600,000 US citizens die of COVID. He is a firm believer in vaccines, and preventive measures, as well as full national aid to states regardless of political affiliation.
I live in Europe. I just want to confirm to US citizens that Bernie Sanders sounds like a sane, progressive, caring politician even from this very big distance. Simply stands out.
From South Africa, he is my most level-headed politician there. Most of the other popular candidates are mostly the same differing in party and talking point policies only
Senator Sanders, formerly Representative Sanders, formerly Mayor Sanders of Burlington, IS and WAS the best argument for the idea that age does not affect everyone in the same way, and for PERSISTANCE and DEDICATION to good ideas, and working for those ideas. *He does not give up. Ever. He is the most inspiring practical idealist in American politics.*
The amount of legislation that he cowrote, or legit gave away to repiblican politicians for free and with no recognition, as long as they managed to pass it and help people, is astounding. Not counting the innumerous pushs for bringing a topic into the mainstream arena. Extremely practical man pushing from an ideal point that is common sense and almost everyone agrees with
I don't know why you included his views on Gaza as the majority position. He responded to the ceasefire question, by condeming Hamas as terrorist organization but he's going to act like it wasn't in the news that IDF sexually assaulted a male prisoner so violently with an object that the prisoner had to go to Emergency Room for damaged intestines. And regardless of whatever Netanyahu would say, Israeli government officials openly said its not against the law to torture a Palestinian to death. Bernie is gaslighting us with his Neyanyahu = bad, Israel = good, talking points. That is BS.
@@longkesh1971 Bernie also backs Kamala Harris who is at the very least partly responsible for the ongoing genocide and has pledged unconditional support for Israel.
@@longkesh1971 I'm a Leftie, too, and it always frustrates me that there are people who are so stringent in the justness of their beliefs. He swung on their entire government, not just Netanyahu. He called them what they are: far-Right extremist racists. It's a measured response, and quite frankly, the best response we've gotten from a major US politician on the matter. He shouldn't need to defend Hamas, no matter how anyone feels about their role in the matter. It should be enough that he's trying to stick up for the innocents that are getting lasered, whose homes are getting turned to rubble.
@@hassanelzein6053si Israel no lo quiere, Israel se lo pierde, como Israel ya ha cruzado todas las líneas rojas, no pueden "admitir" lo que el sr. Bernie Sanders les dice.
I was lucky enough to be able to shake this mans hand when he came to speak at my college years ago. What I can tell you is they are strong, calloused, working hands. Hands I would put my life in. He has never stopped working for the American people, and I could feel it in his hands.
This man is Legendary." If you are a parent you cannot check out, it's a luxury that you cannot afford.." "At any point in time, Despair is not an option."
@harsimrankaur2955 I chose not to have children for the planet. IMO, Bernie's statement about "never giving up and dropping out" has ZERO to do with being a parent.
Highlighting Sanders's record is smart and is actually what makes him a rarity among politicians: being ideologically consistent on the order of DECADES.
Great interview. So glad Hassan, who is brilliant, refrained from his earlier habit of trying to looking like a tough interviewer, and just asked extremely good questions aimed at understanding what his interviewee thinks. And Bernie, God bless him, got a chance to say, "It's going to take a long time, but you can do it. It's going to be hard, but hold the politicians feet to the fight and eventually you'll have the country you want. Giving up is not an option." This man understands how American democracy can work, and speaks the truth.
since you think hASSan is "brilliant", I wonder if you know about that story he told about his prom date from high school? It was false - he made it up, but she's a real person and she did actually get death threats because of the story he told. He knew about this going on for years, yet did nothing to defend her against the many threats against her and her family. Finally, it was exposed in the NYT and other sources. His defense was that his show wasn't supposed to be taken literally or as fact, but was instead just "comedy". Which is weird, because he definitely presented his show as serious commentary (done in a "funny" way) on current events, not him just making up funny stories.
@@freeforest I didn't know that. I was talking about his intelligence when I called him brilliant. But as we all know intelligence isn't the only trait you want in your comics, actors, journalists, etc.. Thanks, I'll check this out.
This is it exactly.🎉 Giving up is not an option. I've seen changes, both good and bad, brought about by citizens working toward that change. Getting distracted is the problem. Pick an issue and help see it through.
There will not be any ceasefire. Netanyahu is beyond redemption and refused any of the weak conditions presented by Anthony Blinken last week. The US could stop this now but they pretend their hands are tied
Religious people will never admit they are wrong about anything, change is not possible for either side, this isn't just about life or not, this is about an infinite after-life to them, they are trapped in insane madness. Even criticizing religion is a form of hate speech, so we will never get them under control.
@@ianglenn2821don’t forget they are people leaving these cults. Just look at how much more powerful they were 50 or 100 yrs ago. I get you, I despair over religion too… but in the end they are constructs with too many lies. The ethical value of truth can never be eradicated by them.
@@sarahfern7128That's voting Red (for Trump.) So, HELL NO! Trump is worse on Gaza and The West Bank, too! Research it. We have ZERO CHANCE to change his Pro-Israel stance. Zero, nada, zilch Things are way too close. Don't give Trump your vote! He's a dangerous nightmare!!
@@sarahfern7128 If you vote Green, you're voting for Donald J. Trump. Trump is worse on Gaza. Don't waste your vote. We live in a Two-Party System in the United States. This is the most important election ever!!
I'm a non-practicing Jew (who was also born in Israel), and Bernie Sanders has been a role model to me for a while. He echoes my sentiment in how brutal and direct he was in condemning the Netanyahu government. I 💯 agree that Israel shouldn't get a penny in military aid while that war criminal and his genocidal cronies are in power. Because, guess what? *_Never Again_* means something to me too-and the atrocities my brothers and sisters are committing as a _matter of policy_ is a tremendous burden of collective guilt.
Thank you! This is a lot of daily pain for those of you who have an ethnic connection and see the wrong. Thank you for speaking! Do everything you can to keep your strength up and keep speaking, please! Your voice is important!
Truth be told it is NOT normal to have cognitive impairment with age. It's sad that this is the norm in the US. The rest of the world has 90 year olds that still are very much with it and active. Heck my 105 year old grandma in India still wakes up at 4 am to milk cows and carry it back in buckets by the gallon home, picks vegetables by hand, sits on the floor cross legged to eat, plays with kids in the streets, is not incontinent and feeds herself. She's also not the only elderly person in our village that can do that. The US needs to take care of its elderly better and give them purpose so they're not sitting in an old age home at 80.
Great interview! Love Bernie Sanders! I’m Canadian, born & raised in Canada 🇨🇦. I love our healthcare system. Americans can have that too! Fight for it!
The only time I'm seeing a US politician speak actual sense about the whole Israel - Palestinian war. He spoke exactly what people in Gaza are going through and I'm just glad someone in office sees through this.
What’s happening in Palestine makes perfect sense. They released charter after charter telling the world what they were going to do, Israel said FAFO, and then Palestine did what they said they would do. Even before Oct7, Palestinians didn’t have to live like they were living. Their government was given billions of dollars year after year after year, and what did they spend it on? Tunnels, and bombs, and guns. Clearly, this is what they wanted.
@@gmh471Exactly, Bernie continues to contradict himself throughout the entire interview. He claimed to support a palstn state while endorsing the party that is spending billions on weapons used to destroy that state. He claimed he supports universal healthcare while endorsing a presidential candidate who is agaisnt universal healthcare. He claims he is agaisnt the billionaire class and their agenda while he supports the politicians that accept campaign donations from the billionaire class and pass legislation to advance their agenda. What Bernie is saying in this interview definitely sounds good, but I'm sure even a 5th grader could understand that what Bernie said just doesn't make sense at all.
Bernie is too established in the field and hard to be targeted. As for the others who are brave enough to say a thing about Gaza. they get hammered immediately by the powerful pacs supported by the Israel lobby. Money talks.
No-one ever thinks they are the ignorant one, so I suppose it never occurred to you that you are wrong about economics and Gaza. Bernie spoke the truth: you just haven't understood - yet. 😊
For a European it's still so strange to me how much Americans ARE the party they vote for. They almost never say "I vote republican", "I agree with the Dem's ideas", "I'm not sure who I'll vote for, I'll look at the policies". It's always I AM a republican vs I AM a democrat. Baffling
Identiy politics has been the downfall of our country for a long time. Whomever implements their voting party as a part of their identity, in my opinion, has lost themselves and have no idea who they are anymore.
Thank you, Hasan, for platforming the presidential candidate I stumped for in 2016 & 20. Sander's progressive policies informed Biden/Harrris; BERNIE accomplished an enormous amount behind the scenes. Bern is not here for praise, but for real change.
Even republican laws passed in favor of veterans were, surpise, surprise: written by Bernie and given to them in order to be able to pass it. He's being doing for the People since day one.
As the NYT published an article on Hassan, he is a notorious "embellisher" of truth. Or in simple terms, a known liar. Zero credibility. Go back to trying to be funny.
I wish this was longer. The admiration I have for Bernie is immense, a man truly for humanity! The encouragement to not give up was needed! I’m hopeful for creating a new America, but the journey will be steep.
There will never be another politician like Bernie Sanders. He is a national treasure. Political life after Bernie will be unarguably worse for every American.
Oh come on The situation isn't all THAT hopeless. I love Bernie, and surely there are many younger, equally idealistic people in the U.S. Some of them will undoubtedly run for office or otherwise work toward the noble goals he's worked for all his life.
There CAN DEFINITELY BE another and MANY MORE politicians like Bernie. Young and idealistic activists getting into politics just have to continue to say No to money coming from Oligarchic Special Interests.
You know, the best part is that this statement is inaccurate. There will be people similar to him, inspired by him, people of a younger generation who will fight for his ideals even after he's gone
I stood outside for hours just to cast my vote for him in the Primaries in Arizona… 5+hrs in line and as we waited to cast our vote, Hilary was announced the Democratic candidate with hundreds of us not being able to cast a vote for him and this didn’t happen at just my voting center….

This was a great interview. Not many jokes, letting the interviewee speak thoroughly through many topics and hasan bridged the conversations incredibly well. More of this!
Agreed! Perfect amount of humor, and Hasan's questions/responses were perfectly timed & showed he was listening and cared. And I felt represented by him as an interviewer.
I love Bernie. I first heard him speak as Mayor of Burlington at the end of a peace march. Campaigned for him door to door when he ran for Gov. And have counted us as so lucky to have him in Congress all these years.
Luck doesn't have as much to do with it as the people of Vermont continuing to VOTE him into the Senate. You think American democracy doesn't work? Bernie Sanders is living proof it does. If everyone voted, every state could send a Bernie Sanders to the Senate. Let that sink in.
Ever since visiting UVM as a kid, I’ve always wanted to move and live in VT, but I have little marketable skills as a single guy with no networking up there, to just pick up and move. Hopefully I can make up my mind on what career to take soon and make it up there in the next decade 😅
@@TheCJRhodes A friends sister was in the same place as you years ago. She did a little research to find out what she could do for a living in Vermont, and discovered that education (at least back then) was among the biggest employers. She went to college, got her teaching certificate and eventually taught in the public schools there. The other biggest employer is tourism. Most people ask "What do I want to do?" and then move there, but she asked, "Where do I want to live?" and got herself the training to do a job that was available where she wanted to live. Good luck in your journey!
Seriously. 21:18 like this whole thing is extremely sad and while i have hope for Harris/Walz, we have to take a big leap away from PACs and big dark money.
Hearing him speak is so validating. My friends and I are always screaming about the abhorrent amount of money in politics. The issue has never been a lack of solutions to the many issues we face, but the depths of the pockets of those who want things to stay the same.
Sen. Bernie Sanders is like one of those quotable life lessons on IG like even if you fall or lose hope or feel defeated, you just gotta get up and keep on fighting (whether your rights, healthcare, wage, education, humanity) - this man is about to be 83 yrs old and never stopped fighting.
We dont deserve Bernie. I have my disagreements on certain things with him; but he has been a tireless advocate for humanity since before my parents were alive and for that I will always respect him. They can never make me hate you Bernie.
I'm glad he's speaking about Cori Bush's primary. I was born and raised in STl, and still live here; its wild that a foreign conglomerate can just come in and buy a local election through ads and superPACs. Again, the company that backed Cori Bush's opponent is not in US based or does anything in STL. They have an Israeli owner and saw Cori was in support of Palestine, went after her in the primary.
AIPAC should be shamed out of existence. That acknowledged, there are those of us who are a little disappointed that members of "the Squad" don't seem to be trying to leverage the power they had as a smaller group in Congress. Gaza is an international black eye to the US, but there are also other issues that these members could be giving publicity towards
@66zebulon That notion that you can shame the shameless (AIPAC) out of existence is absurd. It’s things like this and other stuff I’ve read in this thread, especially language policing pettiness, makes me wonder why I can’t stand such a large portion of the progressive left I identify most with. Notice Bernie doesn’t play those kinds of stupid games. I went to an Honors College and I found the whole ‘gender studies’ major crowd harping about ‘intersectionalism’ constantly unbearable c words, and they made our party look like wimpy clowns, the gall and stupidity of this people to feel entitled to sabotage our whole movement with their pseudo intellectual nonsense.
Honestly, given what I know about Sanders, I didn't know what to expect from him regarding Palestine-Gaza. But his analysis of the situation is spot-on and once more the man proves to be on the right side of history. As he has been almost (just in case he has some odd positions, i don't know, about cornflakes with water or some shit) his entire life.

History didn't start on Oct. 7. What happened on that day was a reaction to what has been happening. It just only got covered after it happened. How do you think these people ended up in those camps? Look up what "mowing the lawn" means in this situation.
Right. October 7 began by flying over and breaking down a violently militarized border. One must necessarily ask why that violently militarized border was there to begin with. And whether it was destroyed because of a righteous cause by those held captive. The answer is obviously yes
This man truly has a code. He may not have had my favourite takes in the short-term after the attack, but he understands suffering and now just wants it to end. Strength of character
Yeah his code is right out of the communist playback. Govt in charge of everything. Taxes higher than ever. No one takes responsibility for themselves. The USA is nothing without its economy and business sector. Under trump it had never been better until covid came along.
@@RoufaTherrien didn't he just say he's voting to block a weapons transfer? Personally I think he took too long to get there, but he seems to have changed his stance and is now attempting to end the genocide
The media is to blame for repeatedly labeling Bernie as "radical". He is correct in saying that "money" controls not only our government, but the media. How can we change this? Seems impossible to me. I am happy to say that I voted for Bernie.
I think the media landscape is changing before our very eyes! I very rarely watch MSM and get almost all my news from Social Media. Only the “old” folk watch cable news these days.
Bernie answered that question in this video. The house can pass legislation to get the money out of campaigning (or at least to set genuine caps on it that don't have loopholes).

So glad I found your site! Great questions. Bernie Sanders is probably the only politician with unquestionable integrity -- he has NOT changed his mind or his message about all the most important concerns for 90% of the population once over decades. He has consistently spoken up for all of us and also given good guidance. He is right -- Citizens United MUST GO! Vote -- let's vote Blue up and down ballot and get rid of Citizens United. DO NOT PUT YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND! VOTE. PLEASE. FOR YOUR SAKE and OUR CHILDREN'S SAKE.
PLUS NETANYAHU IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT NOT ONLY TO PALESTINE BUT TO ISRAEL. I hope Israel wakes up and gets rid of him (jail) and learns to see their Palestinian neighbors as important as they are. My dad fought in WWII against fascism and for freedom -- that freedom did not include the right to demolish another country, culture and people.
This is such an awesome interview... Bernie Sanders has such crystal clear clarity on the issues & your questions were spot on as well!!! Thank you!!!!
Bernie is a great mentor for all. His persistent choice of the most important things for all people, and the way he has been outspoken is very refreshing. None of the superficial BS. Thanks, Hasan! That was a phenomenal interview 🎉!
As a Frenchman, I would just like to say, his entirely correct analysis of the situation in France shows that he pays attention not only to what goes on in his country, but also abroad. And in this context where he must already have a lot on his plate as it is, in America alone, it really shows the man cares very deeply about what's best for our collective society all over the globe. Fucking love this man.
I voted for him when I was 18 I saw him speak in my hometown LFK. America messed up. He has always been right. Lol Hasan saying this is true love is so true.
Sometimes it’s hard to watch interviews with Bernie, cause it shows us how long he’s been fighting for the rights we can’t seem to get. But he’s a G, and I hope all his hard work (and ours who work with him) pays off
Am super gladdened that Bernie raised the issue of the West Bank. Gaza genocide has completely overshadowed the ethnic cleansing that is going on there.
Fight for exclusively public financing of political campaigns, at < $100 contributed/person, and at least consider the possibility of shortening the length of political campaigns, since longer campaigns generally mean increased costs. It's far less of an issue in the UK than it is here, and their campaign season is only six weeks long
Vote for progressives at every low level - city council, mayor, county, state, etc. These are the politicians who eventually move up. Harris started as an ELECTED District Attorney of San Francisco. That is where our progressives need to be starting their careers so that they can legislate accordingly when they get to Federal positions. It's a long game.
Awesome that you are bringing these great people like Bernie on and doing a great job in getting them to talk about what is important to us all. I remember shopping at University Safeway on Russell in Davis a long time ago!
Love love love love love Marie Sanders! This brought tears to my eyes. How this man continues to have hope and fights for others every day of his life overwhelms my heart! Thanks for interviewing him
Mind you, Senator Sanders is also Jewish (idk how religious he is tbh) but the fact that he doesn't use that in his stance on Gaza as I've seen with many Jewish students from my school. Many have said bc they're Jewish & have a closeness with Israel with their ancestry/religion, they have to support Israel which breaks my heart to hear. One can still be Jewish and still be pro-Palestine. The important comment is Israel DID have the right to defend their country. Totally agree bc if that was the US, we'd do the same. BUT, they went way to far to ethnic cleansing causing a genocide. Besides that, the other issues he's been fighting for, it's politicians like him we need. Hope we continue this legacy. This is a great and important conversation that we haven't seen with major political figures. Thank you for this video.
"America" didn't fumble. The corporate captured DNC moved heaven and earth to prevent him from getting the nomination. Remember when the DNC let Shadow, a company associate with Pete Buttigeig, handle the reporting for the first and most important primary? And it just so happened to malfunction and misreport the results, allowing Pete, without the votes, to claim that he had won? Remember when every other candidate simultaneously dropped out of the primary and backed Biden just before hi home state... other than the other progressive, Elizabeth Warren, a candidate with no path to the nomination, but the only one pulling votes from Bernie? Remember when Warren stabbed Bernie in the back by having anonymous staffers report that Bernie was sexist against her at *A PRIVATE, ONE ON ONE DINNER NONE OF THE STAFFERS WERE AT?* I could go on, and on... *and on.* We didn't fumble. The DNC and corporations ran up and smacked the ball out of our hands and then feigned ignorance, "Oh, did we do that? Whoops. Anyways, enjoy your democracy."
I seriously love this man so much. He has been my inspiration and hope for years. I was one of those Bernie or bust guys and fell into the despair, but I am starting to see some light in this country. The first true step we have to take is getting money out of politics. (and of course a FREE Palestine!)
The outcome of the 2024 election snuffed out my last spark of hope. I cry daily. Bernie would have won in 2016. The control of DMC by big money insiders made sure Hillary was the nominee. The commercial money owned "news" lied about Bernie. All rigged.
We desperately need someone to fill Bernie's shoes and run for president. But he's right. We need to get money out of politics before that will ever happen.
I disagree with Bernie on the genocide starting in Oct. 7, but I think it's incredibly important that even though his position conflicted with Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, he still worked around the clock to reelect them. I think that point highlights the important fact that change can be attained only with socialists in positions of power, and that can only be attained with political alliances.
In our voting system, we are often voting between two choices we disagree with. Until our voting system is reformed, it is not immoral to support people who are wrong, but required - to prevent someone even more wrong. We should constantly fight for a better voting system, but in the meantime we have to make the best choices we can from among limited options.
@@kevinpiala6258 And what about people like me? Kamala just talked about building a wall, does she not want the hispanic vote? Why is she using trump talking points?
@@kevinpiala6258people continue to be scared into voting for one of the 2 main candidates instead of a true reform candidate in a 3rd party. It's time to either let go of the "best of the worst" idea and actually vote for the best candidate.
@@kevinpiala6258 and the duopoly has no incentive to ever implement that better voting system so it will never happen. I'm Canadian. Trudeau promised election reform when he first ran nine years ago. In essence, it would have prevented another Conservative majority from ever happening. Good. It also would've prevented another Liberal [his own party] majority from ever happening. Also good. But not good for his party. It was pretty much the first promise he broke. It was so easy to see coming. The Dems are the same. They will put party over good policy ever time, because good policy doesn't pay them.
What a pleasant surprise, never clicked so fast! Give us more of this Hasan, so glad you are back, you were missed, especially with everything going on.
He should have been the president in 2020. Americans would've been able to see how our country could've been run in a manner all other developed countries are. Such a shame.
Agree, uneducated people are the targeted audience I’m guessing…. FFS, a couple hrs of googling the illegal occupation of Palestine could be easily done by all Americans for as long as the genocide has been happening,
Same. it’s also really uncomfortable to hear that it’s a war 😐A war against who??? what guns do they have?? what bombs do they have? Half of them are children 😢
Because of Zionism. There's people who are literally taught that being against the existence of Israel is a sin, as well as other beliefs that include racism, patriotism, and anticommunism.
@CrusaderLogan racism does play into Zionism, because the biggest beneficiaries of it are white Jews, or more precisely, European descent Jews. Groups like Palestinian or Ethiopian Jews are often discriminated by the Zionist government in Israel.
@@LouisSubearthBernie explicitly says Israel has a right to exist. That’s the difference between you and him. Your pro genocide, for the people you dislike
I appreciate these interviews and I generally support the ideals of Mr Sanders and Peter(didn’t want to try to spell his last name) but I would love to see you really press them on these topics and get an insight on how they see the other sides actual plans on these topics. I want to know how both sides see things.
@@mnn3931He's smart because you have to use all political power possible. The fact that he supports blocking military aide is the most powerful move, he unfortunately doesn't have enough members of Congress to support him.
It is inaccurate to imply the issue began on oct7 like Bernie did. Hamas did not suddenly invade israel on october 7th. Check out 1948... There is no excuse for people who know better. Do not allow the frame to begin there for anyone. People are gullible. Keep saying oct7 so they immediately are more concerned about one event and shut their brain off to the rest.
"Look at the world as it is & do the best you can." (Senator Bernie Sanders). I agree with Bernie Sanders who stated, "checking out is not an option." Change takes time. We have to fight for it. Also, as Bernie Sanders stated, "Stay focused on the issues." Thank you very much for this very informative interview! .
as an israeli jew i can tell yall, having a jew as president with ties to israel as bernie does would have been a HUGE boon to actually pushing back on israel.
Seemingly the fastest/easiest way to change the country is by starting small - become a major influence in your city/town's political environment, promote the legislation you want to live in, engage in friendly conversation with your neighbors, attend town halls and provide commentary at city council meetings. The more people who get involved, the less work for the individual, but most work starts solitary. Necessity is the mother of invention.
We need a direct democracy instead of a representative democracy. We the people should vote for policy instead of voting for people. Like he says at a 19:00 , most Americans agree on the vast majority of policy, or at least are able to actually compromise. Otherwise, we will always be run by the most powerful as they own both parties.
That's just not true. Haaretz investigation came to the conclusion that the directive was used. But of course Israel never admitted that and we don't know how many were killed by the own forces. It's unlikely that it was a significant part
@@SuperEliasc they don't lean towards exaggeration. Those are documented deaths. For conflicts of this type the death toll is always way higher than what you could count
@@Ray25689 still 2% of the population. The claim is also that the ratio of deaths of combatants to non-combatants is a 1 to 1 which is far from implying the Hannibal directive, isn’t it?
Yes, I know, Star Wars: A New Hope was actually in theaters in 1977, not 1978. Please don’t fact check me.

Maybe this will be the witty, top pinned comment that finally takes down the billionaire class!
Apparently it actually stayed in theaters for over a year!
A New Hope was a pivotal film. If you look at the movies from the decade before it to the decade after it you can see almost single handedly where it made the shift to films that were more tonally optimistic and more open to science fiction and fantasy.
Technically it was in theaters in 78' it just wasn't new then.
Never understood how Americans call him “radical” and dude is just fighting for basic stuff that are normal all over the world, even in capitalists countries.
that's right-wing propaganda. As you can see, when they survey people about these "radical" ideas, almost everyone agrees they are good ideas.
When you say "Americans," I think you actually mean the corporate media and any gullible folks who lap up their propaganda.
Americans don't call him radical, multi-millionaires in media do who don't want their taxes to go up. He is radical to them only.

Unfortunately most people don't give him the time of day to see he's still extremely sharp.
@@SuperDannyrulez uh, yes they do.
Sadly, he is radical according to US political standards.
I have no idea how this man has maintained sanity screaming common sense into the void for his entire adult life. A lesser man, myself included, would lose it. You can say whatever you want about Bernie Sanders, but you can never take that away from him-this man has been FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL for basic human rights and the middle class vs autocrats and the obscenely wealthy. I cannot possibly show enough respect to Bernie Sanders, and the fact that he never got the support he needed to become president keeps me up at night, sometimes.
💯💯💯 Couldnt agree more
You should look up Haim Saban, the Egyptian-Israeli billionaire who donated 10 million to the Clintons because Bernie is not "pro-zionism"
Amen Bernie. A voice of reason and sanity.🎉
Bernie is obscenely wealthy like most of the people that have been in politics all their lives and never had to actually work. The authoritarianism he promotes has nothing to do with human rights.

I watched Obama's interview then I watched this one. It is so nice to listen to Bernie talk
without measuring and calculating every damn word that comes out of his mouth. It was so nice for Bernie to actually say things and be honest.
To be fair, Obama has more experience with racism in a country where there is great risk to black men speaking freely. When he said the right things, they still attacked his legitimacy to be president. They called him Muslim as if it was a slur. They claimed he hadn’t been born in the US. It’s probably a survival skill.
I walked past Bernie Sanders while interning in the Senate years ago. The 6 feet thing is true, man loomed
Dope
Yep. I'm 5'-3". Got to talk to him at an event and he put was arm around my shoulders for a pat when he found out I campaigned for him in the most Tepublican part of the state. He tall.
Somehow that thrills me. I wish I could see/meet him in real life. When it seemed like he might win, for that short period way back when, I swore I would travel to the USA for his inauguration. I meant it. Sadly....
@@jennifermackinnon6982 it was super exciting; my fellow intern and I kept it together until he walked past us, then were free to lose our minds

After every roadblock Bernie has had to face in his life and career, he has not dropped out. So, neither should we.

@@jennifermuir1427 He's 82, he should quit yesterday. He thinks narcissistically he has a free pass. What an idiot. His viewpoint on Israel is heinous, scattershot with incorrect facts. I see him as self hating Jew married to a Catholic who still holds himself out as a Jew. Beyond despicable.
The fact that Bernie has not gone completely insane from trying to push the party that is more on the side of the people to stop ignoring the interests of the people is such a testament to his character and his capacity for hope. Absolutely love him.
He made a good point on the positive change he HAS seen in his lifetime. Often times we focus on the negative and forget about what does gradually improve over time. The trick is to always fight the good fight and never go "bust".
Bernie has NOT been trying to push the party left lmao. his goal is to funnel the voters to the right. Name an election in the last 30 years where he endorsed an actual progressive that wouldnt commit war crimes?
He is controlled opposition. He gets paid to accomplish nothing and make leftie voters feel like they accomplish something.
#steinware2024
Sanders worked gigs till the age of 40 and never had much money (or income stability). While he stubbornly tried to run for office (gov. House, etc.) with a small independent left party, they always lost, I think the best results they ever had was 10 %. I think he was genuinely thankful for winning the mayor's race. *_Calling into the void_* and constantly bringing up The Issues and doing what was possible is what he has done since his mid twenties - but now at least it came with income security, a good healthcare plan and even a bit of prestige.
Winning the race for mayor in Burlington opened new opportunities * for him, from that office he launched himself to D.C. (with some more stubborn / diligent work).
He met Jane during the party after winning the race for mayor (she was smitten by his passion and visions she said). So a lot of things fell in place for him at age 40. He had a job (at least for 2 years), money, and a family incl. some step children.
* He made the best of the office of mayor of Burlington despite unfair tactics of the council members (aldermen - that was a D insider club and they were furious that this unknown Independent had unseated one of the most important Democrats in little Vermont). That office gave him the opportunity to get some name recognition in the state, and after a few more lost races he won a House seat. I may also have impressed on him on a deep level, that there is always something that _can_ be done despite unfair opposition, that voters will reward those efforts - if you explain it to them. And that holding contact to the voters and EXPLAINING things to them is crucial. For him it is not just a strategy, it secured his financial and professional future.
Sanders was not good 9 - 5 cubicle material so I wonder what his life would be like if he had not had that surprising win at age 40 (it was a lot of steady work, building on years of experience with seemingly futile campaigns. AND some luck).
It is worth noticing that whenever he won an office - he then continuted to win the races for it with ever increasing margins. He got good grades from his constituents (first mayor - they have term limits, then member of the House, then Senator).
I think he never forgot to be thankful for the job of representing The People and the income and health insurance that comes with it. So that keeps him sane, constantly talking about the same issues and there is not much progress comes with the job.
Being thankful for the income is a good mindset, because a lot of his collegues are not content with the 160k a year + healthcare or whatever it is. So they are eager to cozy up to the big donors, they have the cushy position for ex politicians in mind (for former services rendered for the big donors).
I think he was lonely when he started out in Congress (in the House). But again he was stubborn enough to not be discouraged and he did his thing.
One advantage - his flights home at the weekend from D.C. are not that long. So on the weekends he could regenerate.
Thank you for this interview! As an European, this gentleman is an average social democrat, not a "far-left" individual. The US lost a hell of an opportunity when not choosing Bernie a couple of years ago. Fortunately, you can listen to him, go to the streets, and be more active. I'll certainly do the same in Portugal, and try to reduce the borders of polarization (which for sure is super limited, but I'll do what I can).
Power to the people.
As an American citizen of Jewish background (I'm personally atheist), this is such an important conversation. Visiting Israel, through Birthright almost 20 years ago, only solidified my position that Palestinians deserve the right to their own state. The horrors that happened to my people in Europe due to the rise of Hitler should NEVER have led to some of the same exact crimes being perpetrated on a different population at our hands. It's unconscionable, to put it mildly. It's too late to go back and undo the past.... but at a bare minimum Palestine needs independence and the right to self-determination and all of the land stolen since the Oslo accords agreement returned
TOTALLY AGREE!❤
Please tell this to everyone you can. Too many Americans haven't a clue.
Well nobel thought. Then that means Israel won't exist the only 'Jewish' country...
Don't they have a right for defence? And couldn't palestanians settle in peace with coexistence after those accords and not start first war with help of Arab countries???
And if jews leave Israel where will they go? Will they be persecuted in 47 Islamic states? Will they go to US?
What is root cause & solution?
I believe Islam needs reform and coexisit. Not hate Jews and other faiths. Period.

I don't know why you included his views on Gaza as the majority position. He responded to the ceasefire question, by condeming Hamas as terrorist organization but he's going to act like it wasn't in the news that IDF sexually assaulted a male prisoner so violently with an object that the prisoner had to go to Emergency Room for damaged intestines.

Great interview. So glad Hassan, who is brilliant, refrained from his earlier habit of trying to looking like a tough interviewer, and just asked extremely good questions aimed at understanding what his interviewee thinks. And Bernie, God bless him, got a chance to say, "It's going to take a long time, but you can do it. It's going to be hard, but hold the politicians feet to the fight and eventually you'll have the country you want. Giving up is not an option." This man understands how American democracy can work, and speaks the truth.
since you think hASSan is "brilliant", I wonder if you know about that story he told about his prom date from high school? It was false - he made it up, but she's a real person and she did actually get death threats because of the story he told. He knew about this going on for years, yet did nothing to defend her against the many threats against her and her family. Finally, it was exposed in the NYT and other sources. His defense was that his show wasn't supposed to be taken literally or as fact, but was instead just "comedy". Which is weird, because he definitely presented his show as serious commentary (done in a "funny" way) on current events, not him just making up funny stories.
@@freeforest I didn't know that. I was talking about his intelligence when I called him brilliant. But as we all know intelligence isn't the only trait you want in your comics, actors, journalists, etc.. Thanks, I'll check this out.

“Despair is not an option” we need more of this thinking - don’t give up people, change is possible ! Get involved
Religious people will never admit they are wrong about anything, change is not possible for either side, this isn't just about life or not, this is about an infinite after-life to them, they are trapped in insane madness. Even criticizing religion is a form of hate speech, so we will never get them under control.
And vote Green.
@@ianglenn2821don’t forget they are people leaving these cults. Just look at how much more powerful they were 50 or 100 yrs ago. I get you, I despair over religion too… but in the end they are constructs with too many lies. The ethical value of truth can never be eradicated by them.

I'm a non-practicing Jew (who was also born in Israel), and Bernie Sanders has been a role model to me for a while. He echoes my sentiment in how brutal and direct he was in condemning the Netanyahu government. I 💯 agree that Israel shouldn't get a penny in military aid while that war criminal and his genocidal cronies are in power.
Because, guess what? *_Never Again_* means something to me too-and the atrocities my brothers and sisters are committing as a _matter of policy_ is a tremendous burden of collective guilt.
Do you personally know anyone who lives in a settlement in west bank? I wanna know how israelli settlers justify what they are doing
Thank you! This is a lot of daily pain for those of you who have an ethnic connection and see the wrong. Thank you for speaking! Do everything you can to keep your strength up and keep speaking, please! Your voice is important!
It’s messages like this that give me hope that there are some decent people.
Don't need to practice, you've mastered it.
@@cybervoid8442 Like all other religions do. They justify this using their god(s) and god-given rights.
It’s impressive how Bernie is still this sharp at his age and, more admirably, still passionate and energetic with today’s issues.
And still in touch with the average American. That’s rare from a politician who has been in as long as Bernie.
Truth be told it is NOT normal to have cognitive impairment with age. It's sad that this is the norm in the US. The rest of the world has 90 year olds that still are very much with it and active. Heck my 105 year old grandma in India still wakes up at 4 am to milk cows and carry it back in buckets by the gallon home, picks vegetables by hand, sits on the floor cross legged to eat, plays with kids in the streets, is not incontinent and feeds herself. She's also not the only elderly person in our village that can do that. The US needs to take care of its elderly better and give them purpose so they're not sitting in an old age home at 80.
Don't forget when the DNC and Hillary were saying he was much too old to be president nearly 10 years ago lol. Fools.
When you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything
Great interview! Love Bernie Sanders! I’m Canadian, born & raised in Canada 🇨🇦. I love our healthcare system. Americans can have that too! Fight for it!
@YogaladyToronto It's insurance companies that have screwed us with health care in the United States. Big pharma comes second. It's a nightmare.
The only time I'm seeing a US politician speak actual sense about the whole Israel - Palestinian war. He spoke exactly what people in Gaza are going through and I'm just glad someone in office sees through this.
You got your likes, but saying that Bernie Sanders speaks sense just reveals you to be as ignorant as he is.
What’s happening in Palestine makes perfect sense. They released charter after charter telling the world what they were going to do, Israel said FAFO, and then Palestine did what they said they would do.
Even before Oct7, Palestinians didn’t have to live like they were living. Their government was given billions of dollars year after year after year, and what did they spend it on? Tunnels, and bombs, and guns. Clearly, this is what they wanted.
@@gmh471Exactly, Bernie continues to contradict himself throughout the entire interview. He claimed to support a palstn state while endorsing the party that is spending billions on weapons used to destroy that state. He claimed he supports universal healthcare while endorsing a presidential candidate who is agaisnt universal healthcare. He claims he is agaisnt the billionaire class and their agenda while he supports the politicians that accept campaign donations from the billionaire class and pass legislation to advance their agenda. What Bernie is saying in this interview definitely sounds good, but I'm sure even a 5th grader could understand that what Bernie said just doesn't make sense at all.
Bernie is too established in the field and hard to be targeted. As for the others who are brave enough to say a thing about Gaza. they get hammered immediately by the powerful pacs supported by the Israel lobby. Money talks.
No-one ever thinks they are the ignorant one, so I suppose it never occurred to you that you are wrong about economics and Gaza. Bernie spoke the truth: you just haven't understood - yet. 😊
For a European it's still so strange to me how much Americans ARE the party they vote for. They almost never say "I vote republican", "I agree with the Dem's ideas", "I'm not sure who I'll vote for, I'll look at the policies". It's always I AM a republican vs I AM a democrat. Baffling
Identiy politics has been the downfall of our country for a long time. Whomever implements their voting party as a part of their identity, in my opinion, has lost themselves and have no idea who they are anymore.
That's not really true. Plenty of people in America say "I vote Democrat/Republican."
You make it seem like there is much overlap between the two parties, other than serving the ruling class.
Good point. But there is currently no way I would vote for today's Republicans. I respect women and their reproductive rights too much
Idem...
So glad to see Hasan around again
This is an excellent interview. These two actually clearing up the situation, better than each alone could do. Now we all need to do it.
Thank you, Hasan, for platforming the presidential candidate I stumped for in 2016 & 20. Sander's progressive policies informed Biden/Harrris; BERNIE accomplished an enormous amount behind the scenes. Bern is not here for praise, but for real change.
Even republican laws passed in favor of veterans were, surpise, surprise: written by Bernie and given to them in order to be able to pass it. He's being doing for the People since day one.
As the NYT published an article on Hassan, he is a notorious "embellisher" of truth. Or in simple terms, a known liar. Zero credibility. Go back to trying to be funny.
I wish this was longer. The admiration I have for Bernie is immense, a man truly for humanity! The encouragement to not give up was needed! I’m hopeful for creating a new America, but the journey will be steep.
There will never be another politician like Bernie Sanders. He is a national treasure. Political life after Bernie will be unarguably worse for every American.
Oh come on The situation isn't all THAT hopeless. I love Bernie, and surely there are many younger, equally idealistic people in the U.S. Some of them will undoubtedly run for office or otherwise work toward the noble goals he's worked for all his life.
There CAN DEFINITELY BE another and MANY MORE politicians like Bernie. Young and idealistic activists getting into politics just have to continue to say No to money coming from Oligarchic Special Interests.
You know, the best part is that this statement is inaccurate. There will be people similar to him, inspired by him, people of a younger generation who will fight for his ideals even after he's gone
I stood outside for hours just to cast my vote for him in the Primaries in Arizona… 5+hrs in line and as we waited to cast our vote, Hilary was announced the Democratic candidate with hundreds of us not being able to cast a vote for him and this didn’t happen at just my voting center….

Can we appreciate for a moment how well this piece is produced? The camera work, cuts etc just so smooth
This was a great interview. Not many jokes, letting the interviewee speak thoroughly through many topics and hasan bridged the conversations incredibly well. More of this!
Agreed! Perfect amount of humor, and Hasan's questions/responses were perfectly timed & showed he was listening and cared. And I felt represented by him as an interviewer.
Sound like a boomer.
I love Bernie. I first heard him speak as Mayor of Burlington at the end of a peace march. Campaigned for him door to door when he ran for Gov. And have counted us as so lucky to have him in Congress all these years.
Luck doesn't have as much to do with it as the people of Vermont continuing to VOTE him into the Senate. You think American democracy doesn't work? Bernie Sanders is living proof it does. If everyone voted, every state could send a Bernie Sanders to the Senate. Let that sink in.
Ever since visiting UVM as a kid, I’ve always wanted to move and live in VT, but I have little marketable skills as a single guy with no networking up there, to just pick up and move. Hopefully I can make up my mind on what career to take soon and make it up there in the next decade 😅
@@TheCJRhodes A friends sister was in the same place as you years ago. She did a little research to find out what she could do for a living in Vermont, and discovered that education (at least back then) was among the biggest employers. She went to college, got her teaching certificate and eventually taught in the public schools there. The other biggest employer is tourism. Most people ask "What do I want to do?" and then move there, but she asked, "Where do I want to live?" and got herself the training to do a job that was available where she wanted to live. Good luck in your journey!
So great. Makes me wanna cry. Realistic and hopeful. Howard Zinn said “The terrible patience of activism”.
Seriously. 21:18 like this whole thing is extremely sad and while i have hope for Harris/Walz, we have to take a big leap away from PACs and big dark money.
RIP
Hearing him speak is so validating. My friends and I are always screaming about the abhorrent amount of money in politics. The issue has never been a lack of solutions to the many issues we face, but the depths of the pockets of those who want things to stay the same.
Sen. Bernie Sanders is like one of those quotable life lessons on IG like even if you fall or lose hope or feel defeated, you just gotta get up and keep on fighting (whether your rights, healthcare, wage, education, humanity) - this man is about to be 83 yrs old and never stopped fighting.
@ep6555 Bernie is older than Biden, but His mind is sharper and clearer than people decades younger.
We dont deserve Bernie. I have my disagreements on certain things with him; but he has been a tireless advocate for humanity since before my parents were alive and for that I will always respect him. They can never make me hate you Bernie.
I'm glad he's speaking about Cori Bush's primary. I was born and raised in STl, and still live here; its wild that a foreign conglomerate can just come in and buy a local election through ads and superPACs. Again, the company that backed Cori Bush's opponent is not in US based or does anything in STL. They have an Israeli owner and saw Cori was in support of Palestine, went after her in the primary.
AIPAC should be shamed out of existence. That acknowledged, there are those of us who are a little disappointed that members of "the Squad" don't seem to be trying to leverage the power they had as a smaller group in Congress. Gaza is an international black eye to the US, but there are also other issues that these members could be giving publicity towards
What's crazy to me is that that many people fell into it though. I hate that the money works.
@66zebulon That notion that you can shame the shameless (AIPAC) out of existence is absurd. It’s things like this and other stuff I’ve read in this thread, especially language policing pettiness, makes me wonder why I can’t stand such a large portion of the progressive left I identify most with. Notice Bernie doesn’t play those kinds of stupid games. I went to an Honors College and I found the whole ‘gender studies’ major crowd harping about ‘intersectionalism’ constantly unbearable c words, and they made our party look like wimpy clowns, the gall and stupidity of this people to feel entitled to sabotage our whole movement with their pseudo intellectual nonsense.
Honestly, given what I know about Sanders, I didn't know what to expect from him regarding Palestine-Gaza. But his analysis of the situation is spot-on and once more the man proves to be on the right side of history. As he has been almost (just in case he has some odd positions, i don't know, about cornflakes with water or some shit) his entire life.
“Israel has the right to defend itself, but cannot invoke that right to justify the horrors it has unleashed on the people it oppresses and whose lands it colonizes" Francesca Albanese

It's not a legal right against n occupied people
Leave it to Hasan to set the record straight regarding Bernie's height 😂
History didn't start on Oct. 7. What happened on that day was a reaction to what has been happening. It just only got covered after it happened.
How do you think these people ended up in those camps?
Look up what "mowing the lawn" means in this situation.
Yeah, Bernie is the best we have yet he's still scared to say or delusional about the truth of the situation
@@TheFinnym123also Hamas didn’t kill 1,200 on Oct 7. The number is less than half of that, the 1,200 is a lie but still repeated.
Right. October 7 began by flying over and breaking down a violently militarized border. One must necessarily ask why that violently militarized border was there to begin with. And whether it was destroyed because of a righteous cause by those held captive. The answer is obviously yes

@@Bennate2838 resentment over what though?
Bernie is amazing, i wish every politician was like him.
This man truly has a code. He may not have had my favourite takes in the short-term after the attack, but he understands suffering and now just wants it to end. Strength of character
Yeah his code is right out of the communist playback. Govt in charge of everything. Taxes higher than ever. No one takes responsibility for themselves. The USA is nothing without its economy and business sector. Under trump it had never been better until covid came along.
Well put
Why is he backing genocide if what you're saying is true? (Hint: stop drinking the Kool aid)
@@RoufaTherrien didn't he just say he's voting to block a weapons transfer? Personally I think he took too long to get there, but he seems to have changed his stance and is now attempting to end the genocide
The media is to blame for repeatedly labeling Bernie as "radical". He is correct in saying that "money" controls not only our government, but the media. How can we change this? Seems impossible to me. I am happy to say that I voted for Bernie.
I think the media landscape is changing before our very eyes! I very rarely watch MSM and get almost all my news from Social Media. Only the “old” folk watch cable news these days.
Bernie answered that question in this video. The house can pass legislation to get the money out of campaigning (or at least to set genuine caps on it that don't have loopholes).
It can only happen in a revolutionary fight as always in human history.

Vote, and don’t vote third party candidates.
We live in a two party system here in the U.S.A.
It sucks, but, unfortunately, it’s the Truth.
So glad I found your site! Great questions. Bernie Sanders is probably the only politician with unquestionable integrity -- he has NOT changed his mind or his message about all the most important concerns for 90% of the population once over decades. He has consistently spoken up for all of us and also given good guidance. He is right -- Citizens United MUST GO! Vote -- let's vote Blue up and down ballot and get rid of Citizens United. DO NOT PUT YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND! VOTE. PLEASE. FOR YOUR SAKE and OUR CHILDREN'S SAKE.
PLUS NETANYAHU IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT NOT ONLY TO PALESTINE BUT TO ISRAEL. I hope Israel wakes up and gets rid of him (jail) and learns to see their Palestinian neighbors as important as they are. My dad fought in WWII against fascism and for freedom -- that freedom did not include the right to demolish another country, culture and people.
This is such an awesome interview... Bernie Sanders has such crystal clear clarity on the issues & your questions were spot on as well!!! Thank you!!!!
Bernie is a great mentor for all. His persistent choice of the most important things for all people, and the way he has been outspoken is very refreshing. None of the superficial BS.
Thanks, Hasan! That was a phenomenal interview 🎉!
As a Frenchman, I would just like to say, his entirely correct analysis of the situation in France shows that he pays attention not only to what goes on in his country, but also abroad. And in this context where he must already have a lot on his plate as it is, in America alone, it really shows the man cares very deeply about what's best for our collective society all over the globe.
Fucking love this man.
Love to see Bernie is still doing well! He’s the reason I got into politics back in 2016 thank you senator Sanders!
Thank so much for doing this. Appreciated.
I love when Bernie whispers... I always lean in for the fireside chat.
I voted for him when I was 18 I saw him speak in my hometown LFK. America messed up. He has always been right. Lol Hasan saying this is true love is so true.
A Muslim and a Jew of their public stature discuss Gaza! Thank you!
Sometimes it’s hard to watch interviews with Bernie, cause it shows us how long he’s been fighting for the rights we can’t seem to get. But he’s a G, and I hope all his hard work (and ours who work with him) pays off
Am super gladdened that Bernie raised the issue of the West Bank.
Gaza genocide has completely overshadowed the ethnic cleansing that is going on there.
How do we, the people, stop Citizens United? What can we do to get dirty money out of politics?
Fight for ranked choice voting and campaign financing reforms.
What Bernie proposes wouldn't totally solve the problem; *enacting spending cap laws for local and national campaigns is the better solution.*
Billionaires have addresses
Fight for exclusively public financing of political campaigns, at < $100 contributed/person, and at least consider the possibility of shortening the length of political campaigns, since longer campaigns generally mean increased costs. It's far less of an issue in the UK than it is here, and their campaign season is only six weeks long
Vote for progressives at every low level - city council, mayor, county, state, etc. These are the politicians who eventually move up. Harris started as an ELECTED District Attorney of San Francisco. That is where our progressives need to be starting their careers so that they can legislate accordingly when they get to Federal positions. It's a long game.
Awesome that you are bringing these great people like Bernie on and doing a great job in getting them to talk about what is important to us all.
I remember shopping at University Safeway on Russell in Davis a long time ago!
Love love love love love Marie Sanders! This brought tears to my eyes. How this man continues to have hope and fights for others every day of his life overwhelms my heart! Thanks for interviewing him
Mind you, Senator Sanders is also Jewish (idk how religious he is tbh) but the fact that he doesn't use that in his stance on Gaza as I've seen with many Jewish students from my school. Many have said bc they're Jewish & have a closeness with Israel with their ancestry/religion, they have to support Israel which breaks my heart to hear. One can still be Jewish and still be pro-Palestine.
The important comment is Israel DID have the right to defend their country. Totally agree bc if that was the US, we'd do the same. BUT, they went way to far to ethnic cleansing causing a genocide.
Besides that, the other issues he's been fighting for, it's politicians like him we need. Hope we continue this legacy. This is a great and important conversation that we haven't seen with major political figures. Thank you for this video.
Agree I'm pro Israel AND pro- Palestine what I' m not is pro- Netanyahu or Putin who fu...g orchestrated this ...
Thank you for this interview with Bernie. Good questions. Bernie is so very intelligent, and explains issues so I can understand them. Good job.
POLIO!!! I'm soooo sad for the Palestinians! How bad is this going to turn out. My heart breaks for them.
Bernie still the GOAT. America fumbled not having him as president
hes a zionist. he literally thinks its ok to kill children for a thousand year old book
"America" didn't fumble. The corporate captured DNC moved heaven and earth to prevent him from getting the nomination.
Remember when the DNC let Shadow, a company associate with Pete Buttigeig, handle the reporting for the first and most important primary? And it just so happened to malfunction and misreport the results, allowing Pete, without the votes, to claim that he had won?
Remember when every other candidate simultaneously dropped out of the primary and backed Biden just before hi home state... other than the other progressive, Elizabeth Warren, a candidate with no path to the nomination, but the only one pulling votes from Bernie?
Remember when Warren stabbed Bernie in the back by having anonymous staffers report that Bernie was sexist against her at *A PRIVATE, ONE ON ONE DINNER NONE OF THE STAFFERS WERE AT?*
I could go on, and on... *and on.* We didn't fumble. The DNC and corporations ran up and smacked the ball out of our hands and then feigned ignorance, "Oh, did we do that? Whoops. Anyways, enjoy your democracy."
I seriously love this man so much. He has been my inspiration and hope for years. I was one of those Bernie or bust guys and fell into the despair, but I am starting to see some light in this country. The first true step we have to take is getting money out of politics. (and of course a FREE Palestine!)
The outcome of the 2024 election snuffed out my last spark of hope. I cry daily. Bernie would have won in 2016. The control of DMC by big money insiders made sure Hillary was the nominee. The commercial money owned "news" lied about Bernie. All rigged.
We desperately need someone to fill Bernie's shoes and run for president. But he's right. We need to get money out of politics before that will ever happen.
I disagree with Bernie on the genocide starting in Oct. 7, but I think it's incredibly important that even though his position conflicted with Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, he still worked around the clock to reelect them. I think that point highlights the important fact that change can be attained only with socialists in positions of power, and that can only be attained with political alliances.
Progressive except for Palestine.
In our voting system, we are often voting between two choices we disagree with. Until our voting system is reformed, it is not immoral to support people who are wrong, but required - to prevent someone even more wrong. We should constantly fight for a better voting system, but in the meantime we have to make the best choices we can from among limited options.

@@kevinpiala6258people continue to be scared into voting for one of the 2 main candidates instead of a true reform candidate in a 3rd party. It's time to either let go of the "best of the worst" idea and actually vote for the best candidate.
@@kevinpiala6258 and the duopoly has no incentive to ever implement that better voting system so it will never happen. I'm Canadian. Trudeau promised election reform when he first ran nine years ago.

But not good for his party. It was pretty much the first promise he broke. It was so easy to see coming. The Dems are the same. They will put party over good policy ever time, because good policy doesn't pay them.
What a pleasant surprise, never clicked so fast! Give us more of this Hasan, so glad you are back, you were missed, especially with everything going on.
Its nice seeing Hasan a little more reserved and giving Bernie space to speak. Delightful interview
He should have been the president in 2020. Americans would've been able to see how our country could've been run in a manner all other developed countries are. Such a shame.
I wish our generation had Bernie Sanders grit, determination and clarity of thought.
Idk man, but I don't like when people originate the Palestinian genocide to Oct 7. It's been ongoing for decades.
Agree, uneducated people are the targeted audience I’m guessing…. FFS, a couple hrs of googling the illegal occupation of Palestine could be easily done by all Americans for as long as the genocide has been happening,
Same. it’s also really uncomfortable to hear that it’s a war 😐A war against who??? what guns do they have?? what bombs do they have? Half of them are children 😢
Why is this so complicated? There are people illegally trapped in an open air prison, and their goal is to be free.
Because of Zionism. There's people who are literally taught that being against the existence of Israel is a sin, as well as other beliefs that include racism, patriotism, and anticommunism.
@@LouisSubearth Racism isn't one of those, not in large part. The rest are spot on though. Vast majority of people aren't racists.
@CrusaderLogan racism does play into Zionism, because the biggest beneficiaries of it are white Jews, or more precisely, European descent Jews. Groups like Palestinian or Ethiopian Jews are often discriminated by the Zionist government in Israel.
@LouisSubearth not true. Communism is shite.
@@LouisSubearthBernie explicitly says Israel has a right to exist. That’s the difference between you and him. Your pro genocide, for the people you dislike

I want to know how both sides see things.
America doesn’t deserve this guy, he really cares about people as opposed to winning a screaming competition.

It is inaccurate to imply the issue began on oct7 like Bernie did. Hamas did not suddenly invade israel on october 7th. Check out 1948...
There is no excuse for people who know better. Do not allow the frame to begin there for anyone. People are gullible. Keep saying oct7 so they immediately are more concerned about one event and shut their brain off to the rest.
"Look at the world as it is & do the best you can." (Senator Bernie Sanders). I agree with Bernie Sanders who stated, "checking out is not an option." Change takes time. We have to fight for it. Also, as Bernie Sanders stated, "Stay focused on the issues." Thank you very much for this very informative interview! .
I was on Bernie's campaign with the New Hampshire crew back in 2020. I would do it all over again! I know I'm not alone on that! ❤️✊🏽🇵🇸
I knocked on doors to help him win in 2016 in michigan when everyone thought clinton would win.
Civilians are keeping hostages in their homes. Disgusting
@alvatrous Thank you for doing your part for the Political Revolution!
as an israeli jew i can tell yall, having a jew as president with ties to israel as bernie does would have been a HUGE boon to actually pushing back on israel.
If he was clear eyed about what "Israel" really is as a society deeply and desperately brain washed around hated of others that aren't like them.
Seemingly the fastest/easiest way to change the country is by starting small - become a major influence in your city/town's political environment, promote the legislation you want to live in, engage in friendly conversation with your neighbors, attend town halls and provide commentary at city council meetings. The more people who get involved, the less work for the individual, but most work starts solitary. Necessity is the mother of invention.
We need a direct democracy instead of a representative democracy.
We the people should vote for policy instead of voting for people. Like he says at a 19:00 , most Americans agree on the vast majority of policy, or at least are able to actually compromise.
Otherwise, we will always be run by the most powerful as they own both parties.
People like Bernie give me hope for humanity.
😊 when I feel like I'm alone, talking about these most important common sense issues, it helps to hear that I am echoing Sen. Sanders.❤
Israel already admitted to using the Hannibal directive. Most of the civilians were killed by Israeli forces.
They should have called it the Holocaust.
That's just not true. Haaretz investigation came to the conclusion that the directive was used. But of course Israel never admitted that and we don't know how many were killed by the own forces. It's unlikely that it was a significant part
2% of the population as for now according to the numbers of Hamas which can lean towards exaggeration. Stop the nonsense
@@SuperEliasc they don't lean towards exaggeration. Those are documented deaths. For conflicts of this type the death toll is always way higher than what you could count
