Canadian Health care experience: I live in Ontario, Canada. My sixteen month health care journey started last year in February when I ended up in hospital with pneumonia. While there I was checked and tested for just about everything and it was discovered that I had an irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure that would make me prone to strokes. So before I left the hospital I was given a prescription for 4 medications (that cost me $16.44 at the pharmacy). I then had a follow up appointment six weeks later and because of a side effect one of my medications was changed. I had a follow up check up and consultation in October. At that time I told them I was bleeding a very little on a regular basis. The Heart team immediately set me up with a gynecologist who did a Biopsy in January. The result was cancer. By February 19 I had a hysterectomy and after my six week convalescence I had three radiology sessions in April to make sure all the cancer was gone. (I will continue to have follow up appointments for that surgery.) In the meantime I had a consultation and check up with my Heart doctor and his team and after discussion I was sent down to have an X-ray to make sure my lungs are not retaining fluid. My medication was further fine tuned. At that consultation I showed the Heart doctor a lump that had started small in January but was getting bigger and as it was on my temple - brushing my hair often damaged it. His immediate response was "well that's coming off" and referred me to a dermatologist. I got an appointment within two weeks. I met with the specialist who told me it was a form of skin cancer but mild and not likely to happen again. He removed the offending lump immediately and sent me on my way with a follow up appointment. There was no bill. (If I elect to have cosmetic work done there will probably be a cost and I can get supplemental insurance for that or for other choices like guaranteeing a private room, etc.) If I have to wait for treatment it is usually because I can or I need to have the problem get to the point where it is most beneficial for success - i.e. Cataracts. My out of pocket costs for all of that was $16.44 for prescriptions, $45 for the ambulance last year, $60 for aids after radiology. The total was $121.44 for all the treatments, appointments and surgery. Once a year I pay $100 for the government pharma prescriptions. have no complaints about Canada's health care although Dental would be good. The hospitals are privately owned with the big insurer being the government. The health premium is paid by Ontario residents through the personal income tax system. Money collected through the tax helps fund Ontario's health services. The health premium ranges from $0 if your taxable income is $20,000 or less, to $900 a year if your taxable income is more than $200,600. (Mar 25, 2019. ) Single payer (medicare for all) would have similar outcomes for Americans with the added benefit that the government costs would be approximately half of what they are now. So why would a Senator or Congress person vote against single payer at half the taxpayer cost that would cover everyone for everything which would also bring down other costs like bankruptcy, funerals, miserable suffering from chronic conditions??? It can't be job loss because most of the employees working in health insurance would switch to the Medicare for All administration and live healthier lives because they are there to help and say 'yes', not decline treatment wherever possible. It is because of money - Big Pharma is bribing your government. Lawmakers should have to abstain from a vote if the beneficiary of that vote gave more than the individual amount allowed per citizen for his campaign. Anyone who gets $100,000 or half a million dollars from a vested interest is not working for the people. Apparently you can buy a vote for less than $1500. I don't know which is more insulting - that your elected official sold his vote or that he sold it so cheaply.
I'm very happy to hear if you ongoing health improvements. You are lucky . And your thoughts about our health care issues I agree with and if BERNIE LOSES THE NOMINATION I will be forced to come to CANADA as a politically oppressed refugee at risk I am already living in my car they no fault of my own I am 60 yrs old in 2 weeks I will die in the street if Bernie loses and I stay here

Heart-attack-Bernie the socialist with Omar who didn't actually sleep with her brother have both promised us free health care like Elisabeth Warren explained.
@ThatOneGirl Yes, but you don't have to worry about it! I am from Europe (Thank God) and people are much more happy and carefree, because some countries in Europe do have free health care and do we gladly pay a little bit more taxes, YES!! Because it will cost you much less as if you get ill and need to pay for the shit all by yourself!! Bernie said you wont pay much more taxes, the rich will have to pay more!!! Americans, wake the fuck up!!
@Kevin Tewey Because the US pharmaindustry and healthcare offices are corrupt, (watch Moore's SICKO!!) I am so grateful that I am from Europe!! USA really doesn't get it , only Bernie does and he got some great ideas from Europe, and trust be, it works here for centuries!!
This was EXCELLENT!!! The part about it's not being your fault -- I've followed Bernie for about 15 or more years and I understood, intellectually (I thought), what he's about, but I continued to feel about my own life that it was my fault that I got a degree, the only one in my family, but didn't make enough money. (And they thought it was my fault). I also went through a medical bankruptcy. It wasn't until I had listened to every speech Bernie gave in 2015-16 on RUclips that I realized it was not my fault. But it was this podcast that reinforced and articulated so well why I love him, and gave me more arguments I can use with other people. Now I'm going to listen another 2 times to make sure it all sank in. Thank you SO MUCH!
I know I am ready. If Bernie does not win the nomination he is being robbed. His popularity is so high right now, and Trump supporters are becoming more violent, again. While wearing a Bernie 2020 shirt I was called a ugly name and got hit in the head by one last week. He ran away, so no idea who he was. Why are these attacks against us not being reported on the news?

This was an excellent episode! I had never heard Meagan live even though I read her all the time. People who think they can get their news from RUclips need to make an effort to read more. Michael Moore is great. No need to elaborate on that.
Some of us Brits feel the same with wages declining over the last 10+yrs. Even though my skills have increased hugely. What happens in USA comes to the UK eventually.
artistchase7 mller, fullfact.org/economy/employment-since-2010-wages/ Wages really stagnated since 2010 in the UK, they now stand behind their 2008 peak. Cost of living rose meteorically though. Between 2010-2018 median income of employees fell by 3%.
Absolutely true, I think we have a TRUMPIET, here already , and then thay wonder why food banks, are so prevalent know in most of the major UK conabations.
Meagan Day interview was great (34:55). It really cleared up the fundamental differences between Warren & Sanders and what it means when Warren says she is 'capitalist to her core'. Spoiler: it means nothing will change.
@@jeffkeil1595 id rather hang out with an illegal than a racist. He has a latino name, does that mean every latino is here illegally?? Do people from Spain need to have a wall put between us to keep more latinos out?? You speak a dangerous rhetoric, worst of all you're so numb to it that the toxicity of your comment it doesnt even bother you. Think. You're only an American because someone left another country to start a new life for themselves and their famalies, yet today we just push the hungry and the tired away despite the engravement on the Statue of Liberty literally saying "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Yeah, and she voted FOR Trump's bloated military budget increase...only adding to the deficit/debt...we then get pressure from Republicans to cut spending on programs like SS that don't add to the deficit. If you're in bed with the number 2 or 3 military supplier, you're compromised. The billionaires aren't struggling - they don't need a tax cut. The American people need a break from the politics as usual BS.
Hillary is also in warren's camp...that screams RED ALERT!! Warren is a dempublican (a republican in the democratic party). She claims to be progressive, she speaks progressive policies, but she has no intention of following through. Her sole function is to split the progressive votes to force a 2nd convention ballot. That way the oligarchy can anoint whoever is left (Biden, Booker, Boot-a-whatever). She's a "Blue wave no matter who, as long as it's not Bernie" Goldwater girl.
Bernie supported Hillary when she won/took the primary. Don't be naive. Warren had no choice but to support Hillary vs. Trump. The problem was Media (ignoring Bernie as they are again) and the DNC (superdelegates rigging the system).
Monique DC nothing had been decided betwen bernie and hillary yet when warren supported hillary. that race was still going on. don’t do that. her not supporting sanders hurt his chances.
@@MadMonique Correct, she had no choice to stand-up to the establishment, and Clinton Machine, if she wanted to be an option for Hillary's VP and if she wanted to continue riding the gravy train. She made her choice. And the movement remembers. We won't fall for her progressive act, as she was on the take. We found her receipts. And surely Trump also has found them and will be reading from them if she were to win the nomination. She can't handle the heat, thus why her YT comments are closed. Trump would eat her alive. While Bernie can only be called a socialist, which is already a limp attack. And Bernie has Trump and the 1% already under thumb as Corporate Socialists, and they are afraid.

I’m a retired desert veteran whom have to pay for meds but fought for the freedom and rights of our constitution for my young son and friends and everyone who lives our country have the rights to live and not struggle unlike the rich! The system paid by the rich to control the government/politicians against the people against Us whom want to live an raise our family’s to live the American dreams!!!
I enjoyed this podcast so much. I just have a thought about Bernie's townhalls. Should this not be the venue where the differences, as was articulated during this podcast, between his Green New Deal (GND) and that of Elizabeth Warren's be discussed. It is not possible to do this during rallies, and during debates with such poor structures. In order for people to become fully vested, we need to stop talking over our heads. People become pumped at rallies, but if they walk away not getting a full understanding of what they should fight for, they can be swayed by another politician's spin of the truth. And this is not only for the GND.
Agreed. Town halls are the way to go in terms of explaining the differences. If Bernie becomes president, I'd like to see him do something about the media, in demanding they must report the truth. Candidates should be equal amount of free air time. Getting tired of propaganda TV.
"It's not your fault" is an important sentiment. Many people feel attacked when it comes to racism, sexism, climate change etc. So it's important to tell them that they're not the enemy
Excellent guests! Michael Moore is such an asset to the Bernie campaign, and to this country’s conscience, for that matter. I learned a lot from Ms. Day. Oh, yeah, and I adore Briahna Joy Gray. She is the very definition of sunshine - present, warm and spreading light.
28 minutes in, the Question of the day. Bernie is the change he wanted and inspires others to be the change we as a collective human civilization need to progress and live sustainable trajectory. Not me Us!
Wow, it was a long time ago since anything like this was discussed (as started recently). Not since even before the 70’s. We’re moving into new space here and way cool it is.
When the going got tough Warren chose HRC over Bernie. This progressive will never forget or forgive. Nobody is gonne shame me into voting for a candidate who is not my first choice. Bernie 2020.
Bernie came to my town in 2016 and when he came out onto the stage and spoke, tears came to my eyes. I was moved in his presence of authenticity and heart.
Meagan Day is one of the best journalists out there. If she had "normal" (aka neoliberal) views, she would be a household name (rather than famous only among leftists). I just got back from the Bernie rally with Ilhan Omar and I feel so invigorated and ready to fight. All the love and compassion and empathy among the Bernie supporter crowd is just totally abnormal for American life and only we can spread it to the rest of the American people - fighting the hate and fear of that Trump has used for his political advantage. #Bernie2020 #BernieGotReceipts! #MeaganDay
THE REAL MONSTERS don’t really want to know what they are. We are controlled by liars , crooks and cons. Once we know Who and What they are we need to take action. Make them pay for there crimes.
Damn straight! You can't appeal to their better nature cos they don't have one. You can't shame them cos they have no shame. Corporate criminals, psychopaths all.
I've cried (unexpectedly!) at both rallies I attended for Bernie. You just FEEL and TRUST his words. WE have to be willing to work together- (United we stand strong!) I believe in Bernie Sanders and I believe that WE can follow/listen/work alongside, the organizer in Chief to make our country one that supports and recognized ALL of it's people. I am so super proud of the millennials especially for rising up! I am with them! I am a Bernie Boomer!! 🔥💪
I was in high school when Michael Moore gave that speech. I had taken to antiwar activism not just against the Iraq War, but even prior to that opposing the Afghanistan War. My mom was always a progressive working class voice that encouraged me, but those were dark times. I remember the Orange Alerts, and it was no joke. My mom put duct tape around one of our doors at one point because some kind of alert had gone up saying we should. And I remember talking to my mom and saying, "This is crazy. If this does seal the air outside from us, it means we'll just suffocate from lack of oxygen instead." So that was the context. And his speaking up like that made me feel like I wasn't alone. Thank you, Michael Moore.
It's kind of like how people say they remember where they were when JFK was shot or 9/11 happened. I remember that speech pretty vividly as a turning point when I felt like maybe it was worth continuing to fight for that stuff.
Saving America is like trying to save a wounded animal. It might run away at first even bite you and hiss at you, it doesn't know what kindness is, and it's only been trying to survive, it clings to the things it knows and trusts and fears the unknown. But if it really realizes what you are trying to do and that you come with love, you'll save them.
Another excellent episode. Yes, having someone acknowledge that you are being gaslit is powerful. Our hope is tenuous that it can end, but Bernie exemplifies us at our best.
17:50. " If you're willing to fight as hard for people you don't know as hard as you're willing to fight for yourself, then we're going to make it" ... That hit me in the heart.
Tried watching a few of these episodes in the past but gave up part-way through. Made it to the end -- easily! -- on this one. Great job. Great guests.
Thank you for those excellent interviews. I do believe Bernie and Bernie alone has the potential to change the direction of this country for the better. I am deeply troubled at what seems to be the lack of support for him in the mainstream media. I hope your channel increases its viewers. You are doing a great job.
Bernie 2020! Thank you for jazzing up your program a bit! This was such a great interview! I also hope that Bernie distinguishes his plan from Warren’s at the next debate !
@@discipleofsakura Idk man she's looking straight at the screen when the camera is facing her though. I think its just a new trend so the camera isnt just one single shot, it makes it feel faster paced
Thank you Briahna and Meagan Day for such an informative presentation. I did not hear the Michael Moore part. I do appreciate the chance to learn more stuff about how things influence my everyday life and to cement my understanding of what's going on.
Michael as you continue stumping for Bernie please go into detail about what benefits your Dad had when you were a child. This will be eye opening for people. You just spoke about it but more specifics please.
Meagan Day that was really instructional. You made things ver clear. I need to listen to this again! We are more controlled than we realize. We blame eachother & ourselves for struggling in a system where we r just set up to fail. The solution is Solidarity and undergoing a profound paradigm change.
I'm hoping that by relying on small donations he'll be less vulnerable to the meddling corporatists. I think just keep engaging people in a patient, positive, informative way, and donate if you're able I guess.
Yes. Thank you for this intelligent and much needed expression/analysis of where we are and what direction we need to go. When I heard Sanders speak in. 2016, I had tears in my eyes after the first five minutes. Insulting and shaming potential voters as a strategy was what lost the election for the Democrats last time.
We are not all "likely" voters. We do not all hear our voices being reflected in the 2020 polling. We have not all enjoyed the privilege of honest media coverage But we all do have shared strength. We give, and we vote, and we are many. If we all sincerely want Bernie to win. we all just have to show up and demonstrate that Bernie's support is nation wide and a mile deep. Vote, people. We've got this if we all vote. Primary, GE, everything.
The central explanation which I got from Jose Porphirio Miranda is that poverty originates with market transactions for profit. That profit on transactions, and interest and rent, constitutes a redistribution of income to the value of the profit, from one side to the other, and that thus the exact same processes through which some people get rich are the processes through which others get poor, or poorer, because market exchange, including exchange of labour for wages, rent for housing, interest for loans etc, continuously redistributes income from everyone else to the owners of wealth, and especially to the already rich. So it isn't just a rigged tax and public spending structure that lets the rich not pay their share and hands out massive contracts and subsidies to private corporations which has made most people poorer than their parents were at the same age, because the previous tax and spending regime only slowed down the process of redistribution from everyone else to the rich. So ultimately, you cannot eliminate poverty, and you cannot get big donor money out of politics, and you cannot ensure everyone gets all their constitutional rights which have been subverted and destroyed because they got in the way of corporate domination in one way or another, just by fipolitically against the hirelings and politcal agencies of and for the rich, but you have to socialise and democratise that wealth. Only when wealth is commonly owned and democratically controlled, not by the state but directly through co-ops, communes and local communities can you ensure that profits on transactions, which allow the wealth being created by everyone's labour and creativity and love to be gathered, are fairly shared so that it doesn't keep creating and worsening inequality. And this is the Biblical goal.
No! NO!! I watch other RUclips videos about politics ... but I keep coming back to Briahna. I want to keep it diverse and loose. I want to avoid falling into an online political video addiction that only supports my previously held beliefs. I want to avoid the "echo chamber". Damn you Briahna! I find myself compelled to listen to the Bernie talk by Briahna. Its syrup for the soul. Don't make it so easy, pleeeze.
Parker Birch, medicare for all, is only free at the point of service but we will be paying for it through our taxes. I’d love to know how Medicare for all affects senior citizens already on Medicare.
@@gracieallen8285 It expands their current plan to cover everything (e.g. vision, dental, audio, mental, and long-term care), eliminates all out-of-pocket expenses, and limits the cost of prescription drugs to $200 annually.
Edwin Soto, yes I know, but i have to pay for extended services and I’d like to know how much. Now Medicare is deducted from my Social Security., will the new benefits also be deducted from Social Security?
@@gracieallen8285 It adds dental, eyesight and the other stuff that we now only get with an added private insurance package we pay a bunch more for (called "Advantage"). I won't mourn the loss of that bill (I hate how whenever advantage is involved they deny or try to deny nearly everything making my doctors jump through hoops while expecting constant copays). Other than added services and an end to our constant copays, nothing changes.
Not gonna lie I watched HTB For the first time yesterday then binged the first 4 episode's . Bri Joy you are a delight, you're so smart and put together great interviews. I just think you're a perfect host for this show and can't wait to see what you do next.
Bernie Sanders' mom died in 1960 (Bernie was 19) then his paint salesman dad in 1962 (Bernie was 21) He graduated from University of Chicago in 1964. He certainly overcame a lot of personal hardships to achieve his goals. Impressive

The part about it's not being your fault -- I've followed Bernie for about 15 or more years and I understood, intellectually (I thought), what he's about, but I continued to feel about my own life that it was my fault that I got a degree, the only one in my family, but didn't make enough money. (And they thought it was my fault). I also went through a medical bankruptcy. It wasn't until I had listened to every speech Bernie gave in 2015-16 on RUclips that I realized it was not my fault. But it was this podcast that reinforced and articulated so well why I love him, and gave me more arguments I can use with other people. Now I'm going to listen another 2 times to make sure it all sank in. Thank you SO MUCH!
Senator Bernard Sanders will call us into the streets and WE are ready!
Ready? For Bread Lines
I know I am ready. If Bernie does not win the nomination he is being robbed. His popularity is so high right now, and Trump supporters are becoming more violent, again. While wearing a Bernie 2020 shirt I was called a ugly name and got hit in the head by one last week. He ran away, so no idea who he was. Why are these attacks against us not being reported on the news?
@@debishore3808 its Antifa. Not Trump Supporters. Look at Antifa videos, they attack everyone.
Register to vote in the primaries. If Bernie does not have an outright win in the first round of voting, then the superdelegates vote for a corporatist / centrist / republican-lite. If Bernie is not the Democratic presidential candidate on the ballot, you cannot vote for him. If he's not on the ballot, he cannot win.
Take your friends and families - especially the older members. They may not like the labels attached to Bernie but they will LOVE the effect that his policies have on their lives.
@@driven9863 You're confused. And a liar.
This was an excellent episode! I had never heard Meagan live even though I read her all the time. People who think they can get their news from RUclips need to make an effort to read more.
Michael Moore is great. No need to elaborate on that.
Thanks for introducing Meagan Day, she is my new favorite intellectual....
Again, what a rewarding experience, my faith is renewed, incredible minds!

Some of us Brits feel the same with wages declining over the last 10+yrs. Even though my skills have increased hugely. What happens in USA comes to the UK eventually.
Raphael Roche,
Which makes it all the more important that we kick the Tory/LibDem parties and their common ideology out and for good in this election.
You better stop it now! We are 50 yrs with stagnant wages.
artistchase7 mller,
fullfact.org/economy/employment-since-2010-wages/
Wages really stagnated since 2010 in the UK, they now stand behind their 2008 peak. Cost of living rose meteorically though. Between 2010-2018 median income of employees fell by 3%.
Vote Jeremy Corbyn! He's your Bernie Sanders
Absolutely true, I think we have a TRUMPIET, here already , and then thay wonder why food banks, are so prevalent know in most of the major UK conabations.
Impressed with Briahna Joy Gray. With her on Bernie’s team he may just do it this time!
Briahna for white house press secretary 2020 \o/
Meagan Day interview was great (34:55). It really cleared up the fundamental differences between Warren & Sanders and what it means when Warren says she is 'capitalist to her core'. Spoiler: it means nothing will change.

Bernie is the only choice. Warren supported Hilary - that says it all! #Bernie2020
Yeah, and she voted FOR Trump's bloated military budget increase...only adding to the deficit/debt...we then get pressure from Republicans to cut spending on programs like SS that don't add to the deficit. If you're in bed with the number 2 or 3 military supplier, you're compromised. The billionaires aren't struggling - they don't need a tax cut. The American people need a break from the politics as usual BS.
Hillary is also in warren's camp...that screams RED ALERT!! Warren is a dempublican (a republican in the democratic party). She claims to be progressive, she speaks progressive policies, but she has no intention of following through. Her sole function is to split the progressive votes to force a 2nd convention ballot. That way the oligarchy can anoint whoever is left (Biden, Booker, Boot-a-whatever). She's a "Blue wave no matter who, as long as it's not Bernie" Goldwater girl.
Bernie supported Hillary when she won/took the primary. Don't be naive. Warren had no choice but to support Hillary vs. Trump. The problem was Media (ignoring Bernie as they are again) and the DNC (superdelegates rigging the system).
Monique DC nothing had been decided betwen bernie and hillary yet when warren supported hillary. that race was still going on. don’t do that. her not supporting sanders hurt his chances.
@@MadMonique Correct, she had no choice to stand-up to the establishment, and Clinton Machine, if she wanted to be an option for Hillary's VP and if she wanted to continue riding the gravy train.
She made her choice. And the movement remembers. We won't fall for her progressive act, as she was on the take. We found her receipts. And surely Trump also has found them and will be reading from them if she were to win the nomination. She can't handle the heat, thus why her YT comments are closed. Trump would eat her alive. While Bernie can only be called a socialist, which is already a limp attack. And Bernie has Trump and the 1% already under thumb as Corporate Socialists, and they are afraid.
Great show thanks for your time and work 👍👍👍

Oh heck yeah! Feeling the Bern in Florida!
I enjoyed this podcast so much. I just have a thought about Bernie's townhalls. Should this not be the venue where the differences, as was articulated during this podcast, between his Green New Deal (GND) and that of Elizabeth Warren's be discussed. It is not possible to do this during rallies, and during debates with such poor structures. In order for people to become fully vested, we need to stop talking over our heads. People become pumped at rallies, but if they walk away not getting a full understanding of what they should fight for, they can be swayed by another politician's spin of the truth. And this is not only for the GND.
Agreed. Town halls are the way to go in terms of explaining the differences. If Bernie becomes president, I'd like to see him do something about the media, in demanding they must report the truth. Candidates should be equal amount of free air time. Getting tired of propaganda TV.
"It's not your fault" is an important sentiment. Many people feel attacked when it comes to racism, sexism, climate change etc. So it's important to tell them that they're not the enemy
Excellent guests! Michael Moore is such an asset to the Bernie campaign, and to this country’s conscience, for that matter. I learned a lot from Ms. Day. Oh, yeah, and I adore Briahna Joy Gray. She is the very definition of sunshine - present, warm and spreading light.

Wow, it was a long time ago since anything like this was discussed (as started recently). Not since even before the 70’s. We’re moving into new space here and way cool it is.
When the going got tough Warren chose HRC over Bernie. This progressive will never forget or forgive. Nobody is gonne shame me into voting for a candidate who is not my first choice. Bernie 2020.

Bernie came to my town in 2016 and when he came out onto the stage and spoke, tears came to my eyes. I was moved in his presence of authenticity and heart.

Thanks for another thoughtful and thought-provoking episode, Brianna Joy Gray!
Meagan Day is one of the best journalists out there. If she had "normal" (aka neoliberal) views, she would be a household name (rather than famous only among leftists). I just got back from the Bernie rally with Ilhan Omar and I feel so invigorated and ready to fight. All the love and compassion and empathy among the Bernie supporter crowd is just totally abnormal for American life and only we can spread it to the rest of the American people - fighting the hate and fear of that Trump has used for his political advantage. #Bernie2020 #BernieGotReceipts! #MeaganDay
This podcast is one of the best out there. Such mindful conversations.
THE REAL MONSTERS don’t really want to know what they are. We are controlled by liars , crooks and cons. Once we know Who and What they are we need to take action. Make them pay for there crimes.
Damn straight! You can't appeal to their better nature cos they don't have one. You can't shame them cos they have no shame. Corporate criminals, psychopaths all.
I've cried (unexpectedly!) at both rallies I attended for Bernie. You just FEEL and TRUST his words. WE have to be willing to work together- (United we stand strong!) I believe in Bernie Sanders and I believe that WE can follow/listen/work alongside, the organizer in Chief to make our country one that supports and recognized ALL of it's people. I am so super proud of the millennials especially for rising up! I am with them! I am a Bernie Boomer!! 🔥💪
I wana hear the one with kyle klinski
he appeared on one live at politicon
I want to hear Michael and Meagan. Grow up and learn from people. They’re fabulous.
Why are you all being triggered? You can enjoy Kyle and Moore. Isn't a one or the other kind of deal. Jesus.
Omg triggered is you..like his as well..
Jen Dark Energy 384400 who’s triggered? What are you talking about?
I was in high school when Michael Moore gave that speech. I had taken to antiwar activism not just against the Iraq War, but even prior to that opposing the Afghanistan War. My mom was always a progressive working class voice that encouraged me, but those were dark times. I remember the Orange Alerts, and it was no joke. My mom put duct tape around one of our doors at one point because some kind of alert had gone up saying we should. And I remember talking to my mom and saying, "This is crazy. If this does seal the air outside from us, it means we'll just suffocate from lack of oxygen instead." So that was the context. And his speaking up like that made me feel like I wasn't alone. Thank you, Michael Moore.
It's kind of like how people say they remember where they were when JFK was shot or 9/11 happened. I remember that speech pretty vividly as a turning point when I felt like maybe it was worth continuing to fight for that stuff.
🔥🔥🔥
Just discovered Meagan Day, and so happy to hear this interview on this channel!
Saving America is like trying to save a wounded animal. It might run away at first even bite you and hiss at you, it doesn't know what kindness is, and it's only been trying to survive, it clings to the things it knows and trusts and fears the unknown. But if it really realizes what you are trying to do and that you come with love, you'll save them.
Perfect analogy 🐦🐦🐦💙💙💙
Really great show! Michael Moore & Meaghan Day, loved both parts!
Two great interviews for the price of one! #Bernie2020
Another excellent episode. Yes, having someone acknowledge that you are being gaslit is powerful. Our hope is tenuous that it can end, but Bernie exemplifies us at our best.
Michael Moore is an American national treasure
17:50. " If you're willing to fight as hard for people you don't know as hard as you're willing to fight for yourself, then we're going to make it" ... That hit me in the heart.
Thank you Michael!
Tried watching a few of these episodes in the past but gave up part-way through. Made it to the end -- easily! -- on this one. Great job. Great guests.

I've come back to watch this video over and over. Love this work.
I really enjoyed to video I shared a lot of the view points that was covered and I help to build on my progressive outlook.
I didn’t know I was connecting on such an emotional level until y’all pointed it out . Thank you bernie and staff
I love how she starts with mentioning the just world fallacy. So important for people to have a greater understanding of their world.
Thank you for those excellent interviews. I do believe Bernie and Bernie alone has the potential to change the direction of this country for the better. I am deeply troubled at what seems to be the lack of support for him in the mainstream media. I hope your channel increases its viewers. You are doing a great job.
OH , l’m an Australian from progressive Melbourne ,Victoria who has one of our four sons living and working in California.
This was such a pleasure to listen to smart women speak. Thank you to Michael Moore also for his supportive statements!

I also hope that Bernie distinguishes his plan from Warren’s at the next debate !

What a great interview/talk. Never saw Briahna before but really impressed with her, and Moore is great as always as a working class champion.
The 3/4 shot without eye contact is just weird yo. Go Bernie though.
Kiowa huh?
I keep seeing that shot used recently in many broadcasts. I find it stupid. But ya, Go Bernie!
I think it helps hide that the speaker is reading off a prompter.
@@discipleofsakura Idk man she's looking straight at the screen when the camera is facing her though. I think its just a new trend so the camera isnt just one single shot, it makes it feel faster paced
Thank you Briahna and Meagan Day for such an informative presentation. I did not hear the Michael Moore part. I do appreciate the chance to learn more stuff about how things influence my everyday life and to cement my understanding of what's going on.
We're not testing for purity or perfection. We're testing for a people's champion.
Bernie is the first candidate I have personally donated money to. Started making it a monthly donation in October. Bernie is the person for the job!
America's first and persisting religious faith: Calvinist Protestantism, teaches that THE WEALTHY are God's chosen. I am not exaggerating.
Calvinism... Victim blaming. Same idea.
Michael as you continue stumping for Bernie please go into detail about what benefits your Dad had when you were a child. This will be eye opening for people. You just spoke about it but more specifics please.
Bernie Sanders “Our Revolution”
Meagan Day that was really instructional. You made things ver clear. I need to listen to this again!
We are more controlled than we realize. We blame eachother & ourselves for struggling in a system where we r just set up to fail. The solution is Solidarity and undergoing a profound paradigm change.
18:40 that's me every rally. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is such a good episode. All the episodes are good, but this one is especially good. Thank you for all you do, Briahna.
great show
WOW. This was a DAMN great episode. Briahna you do such fantastic work, thank you for doing this. Love you guys.
How do we prevent the DNC from stealing the nomination away from him again? I'm still waiting for an answer to that one.
I'm hoping that by relying on small donations he'll be less vulnerable to the meddling corporatists. I think just keep engaging people in a patient, positive, informative way, and donate if you're able I guess.
Voting in force in the primaries
Yes. Thank you for this intelligent and much needed expression/analysis of where we are and what direction we need to go.
When I heard Sanders speak in. 2016, I had tears in my eyes after the first five minutes.
Insulting and shaming potential voters as a strategy was what lost the election for the Democrats last time.
Public spending and resources belong to us!
Dr. Kelton illustrates this well in her Angry Birds video on RUclips!
We are not all "likely" voters.
We do not all hear our voices being reflected in the 2020 polling.
We have not all enjoyed the privilege of honest media coverage
But we all do have shared strength. We give, and we vote, and we are many.
If we all sincerely want Bernie to win. we all just have to show up and demonstrate that Bernie's support is nation wide and a mile deep.
Vote, people. We've got this if we all vote. Primary, GE, everything.
The central explanation which I got from Jose Porphirio Miranda is that poverty originates with market transactions for profit. That profit on transactions, and interest and rent, constitutes a redistribution of income to the value of the profit, from one side to the other, and that thus the exact same processes through which some people get rich are the processes through which others get poor, or poorer, because market exchange, including exchange of labour for wages, rent for housing, interest for loans etc, continuously redistributes income from everyone else to the owners of wealth, and especially to the already rich. So it isn't just a rigged tax and public spending structure that lets the rich not pay their share and hands out massive contracts and subsidies to private corporations which has made most people poorer than their parents were at the same age, because the previous tax and spending regime only slowed down the process of redistribution from everyone else to the rich. So ultimately, you cannot eliminate poverty, and you cannot get big donor money out of politics, and you cannot ensure everyone gets all their constitutional rights which have been subverted and destroyed because they got in the way of corporate domination in one way or another, just by fipolitically against the hirelings and politcal agencies of and for the rich, but you have to socialise and democratise that wealth. Only when wealth is commonly owned and democratically controlled, not by the state but directly through co-ops, communes and local communities can you ensure that profits on transactions, which allow the wealth being created by everyone's labour and creativity and love to be gathered, are fairly shared so that it doesn't keep creating and worsening inequality. And this is the Biblical goal.
No! NO!! I watch other RUclips videos about politics ... but I keep coming back to Briahna. I want to keep it diverse and loose. I want to avoid falling into an online political video addiction that only supports my previously held beliefs. I want to avoid the "echo chamber". Damn you Briahna! I find myself compelled to listen to the Bernie talk by Briahna. Its syrup for the soul. Don't make it so easy, pleeeze.
I hope Bernie and Omar win. I want free health care for life.
Parker Birch, medicare for all, is only free at the point of service but we will be paying for it through our taxes. I’d love to know how Medicare for all affects senior citizens already on Medicare.
@@gracieallen8285 It expands their current plan to cover everything (e.g. vision, dental, audio, mental, and long-term care), eliminates all out-of-pocket expenses, and limits the cost of prescription drugs to $200 annually.
Edwin Soto, yes I know, but i have to pay for extended services and I’d like to know how much. Now Medicare is deducted from my Social Security., will the new benefits also be deducted from Social Security?
@@gracieallen8285 It adds dental, eyesight and the other stuff that we now only get with an added private insurance package we pay a bunch more for (called "Advantage"). I won't mourn the loss of that bill (I hate how whenever advantage is involved they deny or try to deny nearly everything making my doctors jump through hoops while expecting constant copays). Other than added services and an end to our constant copays, nothing changes.
Not gonna lie I watched HTB
For the first time yesterday then binged the first 4 episode's .
Bri Joy you are a delight, you're so smart and put together great interviews. I just think you're a perfect host for this show and can't wait to see what you do next.
If Bernie isn't the Democratic nominee, I'm not voting for them because it shows how corrupt they are not to put forward the best candidate!
In other words... BERNIE or BUST!!!!!!

Bernie Sanders' mom died in 1960 (Bernie was 19) then his paint salesman dad in 1962 (Bernie was 21) He graduated from University of Chicago in 1964. He certainly overcame a lot of personal hardships to achieve his goals. Impressive
