and Germany shows, how the medicare for all can work very well if all people pay a some percent of their taxes. Edit: As some of you guys seemed having me misunderstood - what I posted wasn´t ironic. In my opinion, the german healthcare is by far one of the best in the world. But also I should mention the HC-system of other European social-democratic states (!! social is NOT socialistic !!!) like the Scandinavian countrys, Austria, the Netherlands and so on.
@@lynndaria7716 Your remark sounds as if you think we will all be paying more. The per capita cost of health care in the US is almost TWICE what other countries pay. We pay twice as much for much less. The problem is the profit. The ACA reduced the Insurance companies profit margin to 35%. It had been higher, but no one knows how much higher because the financial workings of insurance companies were entirely private before the ACA. Getting rid of the bloated profits of the private health insurance industry will save us money.
Andreas Delleske,I also love these wise men.Thank you for the well wishes & realizing most of us in the U.S. didn't want trump in office.Mr. Sanders in my opinion will turn our Country around in a most positive way. Especially if we vote out the Republican majority who only serve the ultra rich.

Tribal Massive mine too! I was a socially extreme liberal(? Lol) libertarian in 2015. Pro-gay marriage , bi-racial family, pro-drug legalization-hater of limo liberals... and I started watching Reich’s white board Econ lessons. He got thru my thick skull. At the same time sanders campaign was happening. Black lives Matter was working on the other racial injustice part of my brain. Bam. It broke thru. Reichs super simple way to explain complicated economic theory got me over the stupid “ taxation is theft” bullshit of the libertarian brainwashing. Trump pulled the sheets on those fake ass libertarians anyways. Most of them were just racist ass republicans that liked pot.
@@poker4400 It's not Andrew Yang's, it was Russ Feingold's, originally. Needing to get around ironically named "Citizen's United", Bernie will go for that too. One big thing making Bernie unique here is his commitment to a Green New Deal. That is needed due to the global scale of industry/multinational corporations/pharma we need gov't coordinated program by the gov of for and by the people, finally
@@poker4400 lmao no. The poor wont be able to get the freedom dividend because it isnt Universal, no one recieving assistance can get the freedom dividend, so it'll literally just be giving the middle class a grand each, it isn't democracy dollars. I'd support it if it was universal but its not. Also, you people literally claim this 1k will ve used for nearly everything, 12g a year is not enough for living, its not even close to a solution. These ridiculous names you people give this NOT UNIVERSAL piece of legislation are just way too self praising. Again I would support a UBI, but i wont if it is not universal and is paid through VAT. Because its paid through VAT we all are literally just being taxed more to pay for it so we arent getting any benefit anyways, the rich arent paying more; if it was funded through a corporate tax it would be good but its a tax on consumer goods so us that will be taking it, and those on welfare that cant get it, are the ones paying for it. If the freedom dividend is his solution to automation, why would you have the working class pay for it instead of those automating the jobs in the first place
@@poker4400 If you like the idea of your rent getting raised sky-high, maybe. There is no reason to vote for Yang over Bernie, imho. That said, if Yang gets the nomination, I will vote for him. Would you be willing to do the same for Bernie?
It's so great to hear you talk about the needs of the majority of the people of this country. There are so many horrible things trump and his senate do during the chaos he creates. People have been so beaten down it has taken a huge effort to get people to see one payer universal health care is possible. Higher wages, unions, education for anyone who wants one and more it's possible and better than giving money, tax cuts to the very wealthy. Thank you both for your efforts.

Having President Bernie Sanders is wonderful. You must surround yourself with excellent People. We need young smart progressives that register as Dems (at first) then? 🐝Get Busy!🐝
We need a budget that doesn’t include money the Armed Forces don’t need. The idea that 75% of the national budget is going toward defense. Mind boggling
I think if he does get into power it would be best if he did raise the military budget again though by only like 2% as a token gesture. Taxing the rich is far more important and would provide more than enough money for all the social programs.
Hopefully the Trump backlash in 2020 will pave the way for progressives like Bernie Sanders to pass laws that offer tangible improvements to Americans' daily lives.
If you think he cares, if you think he's honest, or if you think that he's on the "right side of history," then you are a dangerously stupid person. If he cared, he'd know better than to advocate for the provably dangerous and disastrous policies for which he stands. If he was honest, then he would be willing to engage with people who could teach him how markets actually work and the results of what happens when you try to combat their nature. If he was on the right side of history, he wouldn't have praised breadlines or vacationed in the Soviet Union. He's an idiot or a fraud, maybe both. You're an idiot if you believe the things you said and you are fooling yourself if you think you care, but don't even understand the incredible detriment these men's ideals have caused to people historically. Just remembered Bernie isn't just dishonest with himself, he constantly lies to his constituents when he compares his democratic socialist ideals with Scandinavian countries. Not only is it a dishonest comparison, the prime minister of Denmark even said publicly Bernie needs to stop claiming that shit.
Don't you see you are brainwashed by the evil called Trump. The US lead the world towards social justice and the Earth healing thanks to the 46th President of the US. Bernie is remembered by generations of the next millennium as a saviour.
@@carolinepatton3465 Yeah, if you think that understanding economic policies and their impacts means that someone has been brainwashed by Trump, then you're disturbingly stupid. First of all, I've been studying economics before Trump was even being considered for a political position. His economic policies are horse shit, too. Secondly, assuming someone has been "brainwashed" or that Trump is "evil" compared to any other politician is a sign of some sort of cognitive impairment. Also, the level of worship in your comment is disgusting. No politician is worth praise, but especially Bernie. Any person who worships a politician is a perfect example of why democracy is a bad idea. Only the same idiots that think the USSR was awesome will be the people thinking Bernie was any good at all.

@@TheRenaSystem Sure. Got a few minutes? Ever hear of Karl Marx? Here's a little history in Little Robert Reich - often exactly the person he claims to despise. He dabbles in conspiracy theories, utters egregious falsehoods about the economy and engages in acts that reek of hypocrisy. Just as an example, Reich repeatedly blathers about the horrors of income inequality while, at the same time, collecting a paycheck well north of $500,00 plus speaking fees and book income - earning substantially more than the average American CEO who, in his opinion, are profiting off the backs of the working class. The problem with him and many other critics of capitalism is that they tend to be pretty rich themselves. After the riots in heavily immigrant communities of Sweden in 2017, Reich put the following message on his Twitter page: “Trump’s lies have consequences. 48 hrs after his comments on Sweden, riots broke out in an immigrant community.” Take a moment to appreciate just how ridiculous his comment was. He contends that a foreign nation’s president’s comments were so inflammatory that these poor communities felt compelled to engage in mass violence. The issue with the argument that our “racism” causes immigrants, people of color, Muslims, (insert victim group here) to riot is that it assumes that these communities are on the very precipice of violent behavior and one triggering event is all it takes for them to explode in heinous acts. This is what is commonly described as “the bigotry of low expectations.” How about the false claims he makes about the economy (you know....the discipline he teaches at the premier public university in the world.) Reich published an article in Salon stating that greedy capitalists had forgotten the “basic bargain at the heart of America” where employers paid employees enough to purchase the product they are selling. He claims that the recession of 1929 was caused by most of the economic gains going to rich elite (people like Reich himself) and not to the workers. A more articulate description of his argument is found in Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital.” This is an explicit falsehood. One brief look at the Historical Statistics of the USA would tell you that, in the years leading up to the Great Depression, wages across the board increased. In fact, labor’s share of the national economy has risen in the years leading up to practically every recession and has fallen during recoveries, relative to the share of the capital. This basic fact of Macroeconomics 101 is something that college freshmen understand - but seems to need to be explained to Professor Reich.
@Timothy Connet they need to make it a whole week voting national holiday, and the citizens should be paid for it as well. Fight money with money and you will see massive change.

Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich are what Obama, who I do admire nonetheless, could have been had he not sold himself out for mass appeal. Compromising is necessary to get things done, but the system is rigged. We need regulation and not watered down and ineffective laws. 🐛 💦
Bernie Sanders is the only Senator that reads the Bills, & Expanded Medicare For All would save U.S taxpayers $450 Billion dollars a year in Healthcare costs! 😊
And then his own party buried him in the primaries, and not only would be have beat Trump, but his reelection wouldnt be anything but an absolute certainty and his protege would have won the election after that. Instead we have to worry about the real chance of trump getting his fat ass back into the white house.
The best part is he's been fighting that fight for all of his political life. I love that he stands firmly for his fellow man. "People over profit". I hate that it's been such a fight...it should be a simple victory. I would probably fight alongside Berinie. And yes, I understand it's 2023 and this video is years old. Guess what, Bernie still stands firmly with us.
No he don't he did not pay his campaign staff a livable wage he also said in the nineteen seventies no one should have more than a million dollars about five million in today's money guess what he has more laws for thee and not for me is Sanders motto
We need public funding of elections and if accept public funding you get the label of "clean candidate." I love Bernie Sanders and the people I learned economics from were also great humanitarians. They genuinely cared about the working class and the poor.
And 31 minutes later the video has been watched. I knew these guys would throw off me schedule as soon as I saw the video pop up! These 2 would make our country and the world a better place if they made it to the White House.

You need to stop idolizing CEOs and billionaires. You can't amass that much money honestly anymore. It might have been true 70 years ago but it's not true anymore since Reagan.
Jared Smith Facebook owns Instagram and they profit off of exploiting our data, Amazon is notable for worker exploitation so I don't know why you're even bringing the up.
True. Be aware which companies, artists, clothing companies, hotels, etc you are supporting by using them.
Behind every great fortune lies a great crime -- Honore'de Balzac (paraphrased)
I am not sure it was ever possible to amass the kind of wealth in question here. At some point there's always blood on the money.
@WeAreIt Millions sure, not billions.
Having President Bernie Sanders is wonderful. You must surround yourself with excellent People. We need young smart progressives that register as Dems
(at first) then?
🐝Get Busy!🐝
FANTASTIC PEOPLE
Thank you President Sanders 🤞🏼
He’s not president tho
Always a pleasure hearing Bernie discuss the issues.
Vote for Bernie in the primaries and then the general election!
You are the answer to turn our Country around.
I'm 62 and a long time supporter of Bernie and a fan of Mr. Reich, and so are my 30 yrs old children.
#Bernie2020 Baby! and our new Secretary of Labor!
Amazing interview! Bernie is a national treasure!!!
God bless both of these fine men.

They are very sexy indeed
We need a budget that doesn’t include money the Armed Forces don’t need. The idea that 75% of the national budget is going toward defense. Mind boggling
Well no. Military spending is only 54% and that's only if you take out social security and Medicaid.
Dewaldt, it’s more like 60% for the military, social programs is a small sliver
Dewaldt social security and Medicaid are primarily paid into directly though, which is why they're not typically counted when talking about this.
I think if he does get into power it would be best if he did raise the military budget again though by only like 2% as a token gesture. Taxing the rich is far more important and would provide more than enough money for all the social programs.
Love these two men, they are one of the few that really give a dam about the regular people. ❤
Bernie and Robert, keep going! We need you! We need your intelligence and reasoning and to give us hope.
I like Bernie more and more.
Feel the Bern the showen one who cares about all humans . The most honest Senator whos been on the right side of history .
Hopefully the Trump backlash in 2020 will pave the way for progressives like Bernie Sanders to pass laws that offer tangible improvements to Americans' daily lives.
If you think he cares, if you think he's honest, or if you think that he's on the "right side of history," then you are a dangerously stupid person. If he cared, he'd know better than to advocate for the provably dangerous and disastrous policies for which he stands. If he was honest, then he would be willing to engage with people who could teach him how markets actually work and the results of what happens when you try to combat their nature. If he was on the right side of history, he wouldn't have praised breadlines or vacationed in the Soviet Union.
He's an idiot or a fraud, maybe both. You're an idiot if you believe the things you said and you are fooling yourself if you think you care, but don't even understand the incredible detriment these men's ideals have caused to people historically.
Just remembered Bernie isn't just dishonest with himself, he constantly lies to his constituents when he compares his democratic socialist ideals with Scandinavian countries. Not only is it a dishonest comparison, the prime minister of Denmark even said publicly Bernie needs to stop claiming that shit.
Don't you see you are brainwashed by the evil called Trump.
The US lead the world towards social justice and the Earth healing thanks to the 46th President of the US. Bernie is remembered by generations of the next millennium as a saviour.
DEL J you are not even worthy of replying to
@@carolinepatton3465 Yeah, if you think that understanding economic policies and their impacts means that someone has been brainwashed by Trump, then you're disturbingly stupid.
First of all, I've been studying economics before Trump was even being considered for a political position. His economic policies are horse shit, too. Secondly, assuming someone has been "brainwashed" or that Trump is "evil" compared to any other politician is a sign of some sort of cognitive impairment.
Also, the level of worship in your comment is disgusting. No politician is worth praise, but especially Bernie. Any person who worships a politician is a perfect example of why democracy is a bad idea. Only the same idiots that think the USSR was awesome will be the people thinking Bernie was any good at all.
#Bernie2020 ❤️ ❤️
Bernie is a god damned legend. No matter what happens he is an American hero. Strike that. A global hero.
Legend? Because he was the kid in the front of the class never raising his hand to answer a question? The teacher always picks the ones In the back.
Just like his exemplary reason why he exists and is legendary in Vermont.
ELEANOR MEDINA what?
He's a thief who says it's ok to live off our children who will have to pay for the handouts adults take today our children will pay for tomorrow
Bernie for President! Kia Ora from New Zealand
Thank you Robert Reich, good timing!
Chicago is a official progressive town now because we’re a UNION TOWN it’s time for the working class to stand together UNITED WE STAND And you know the rest UBC LOCAL 10
Only good job I ever had was in my hometown of Chicago>>>Mt Greenwood, Southside!!!! Need a job move to Chicago!!!!
Micheal Klee I'm from Champaign...learned of Bernie when he was an undergrad poli sci activist at the U. of Chicago. Arrested. Great Chicago Sun-Times photo recirculating now! His recent Chicago rally was truly fabulous, including EVERYONE who spoke.
Two men of incredible grace and decency. A beautiful and revealing interview.
Bernie has arisen directly out of the needs of The People and The People will
raise themselves by electing Bernie Sanders as our next leader! NOT ME, US!!!
Two Marxists. Obviously, they don't know history.
@@Charles-cs6ej Care to elaborate on their supposed historical ignorance?
@@TheRenaSystem Sure. Got a few minutes? Ever hear of Karl Marx? Here's a little history in Little Robert Reich - often exactly the person he claims to despise. He dabbles in conspiracy theories, utters egregious falsehoods about the economy and engages in acts that reek of hypocrisy. Just as an example, Reich repeatedly blathers about the horrors of income inequality while, at the same time, collecting a paycheck well north of $500,00 plus speaking fees and book income - earning substantially more than the average American CEO who, in his opinion, are profiting off the backs of the working class. The problem with him and many other critics of capitalism is that they tend to be pretty rich themselves.
After the riots in heavily immigrant communities of Sweden in 2017, Reich put the following message on his Twitter page: “Trump’s lies have consequences. 48 hrs after his comments on Sweden, riots broke out in an immigrant community.” Take a moment to appreciate just how ridiculous his comment was. He contends that a foreign nation’s president’s comments were so inflammatory that these poor communities felt compelled to engage in mass violence. The issue with the argument that our “racism” causes immigrants, people of color, Muslims, (insert victim group here) to riot is that it assumes that these communities are on the very precipice of violent behavior and one triggering event is all it takes for them to explode in heinous acts. This is what is commonly described as “the bigotry of low expectations.”
How about the false claims he makes about the economy (you know....the discipline he teaches at the premier public university in the world.) Reich published an article in Salon stating that greedy capitalists had forgotten the “basic bargain at the heart of America” where employers paid employees enough to purchase the product they are selling. He claims that the recession of 1929 was caused by most of the economic gains going to rich elite (people like Reich himself) and not to the workers. A more articulate description of his argument is found in Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital.” This is an explicit falsehood. One brief look at the Historical Statistics of the USA would tell you that, in the years leading up to the Great Depression, wages across the board increased. In fact, labor’s share of the national economy has risen in the years leading up to practically every recession and has fallen during recoveries, relative to the share of the capital.
This basic fact of Macroeconomics 101 is something that college freshmen understand - but seems to need to be explained to Professor Reich.
Two clueless doors hawking socialism
This is why I support Bernie Sanders. He's a damn good man.
Me too!! Why isn't this man president???
Always has been carrying the baton of Freedom ❤😊
Now he just needs the support of his own party and he might get somewhere.
Robert Reich, like Joe Biden, was born in my hometown, Scranton PA. Very proud of both.
They are certainly some of the best humans we could have on our side! Fighting the good fight to make life better for every American!
💙🩵💙🩵💙
Clearly Bernie Sanders is the original! BERNIE SANDERS 2020🍃🌿🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great interview with a great man! Both men are great! Thank you!
Any thoughts on making election day a national holiday, so the working poor have time to vote?
In Sweden they vote on a Sunday.
Agreed
Mail in your ballot. That is what I did in 2018.
Australia has 2 weeks to vote
@Timothy Connet they need to make it a whole week voting national holiday, and the citizens should be paid for it as well. Fight money with money and you will see massive change.
I'm so lucky to live in Vermont where we know Bernie first-hand he is a Vermont and a National Treasure
This conversation is even more relevant now than it was then.
How in heavens name are we going to take back our government and save the future....how guys?
@makestank4800 I'm here 5 years after this video with 2 remarkable men. How in the world did we get to this? What an unraveling.
OMG Bernie's Team, can't wait.
Oh boy, I clicked on this so fast!
I was delighted to see the title and shared with four friends asap - smile. Two awesome people sharing ideas with us!
Bernie: " It's all crap." ... Well said. Thank you, Sen. Sanders. He has my vote. He had it in 2016 and he has it now. BERNIE2020! GET READY!
Bernie is the only one who gives a shit about "Us."
Amen to that! #FeelTheBern2020
Never believe a democratic socialist
Unfortunately not in 2020
And then he pulls out of the race lol
He has and always will be for the people. I am talking about both of them!
The world needs Bernie in the Whitehouse. For real Change, for the climate, health and the sanity of the world!
Who would pay for all the handouts he promises we already have a debt so big it defies belief we leave to our children and the top five percent pay over half the federal taxes will you pay half your income to the government if not why not
@@fritzforsthoefel8031Because, well, read The Deficit Myth for that basics and Money for Nothing and My Tweets for Free by Richard Murphy for a more complex answer, both leading academics in their respective fields.
Government is different from a household.
Saw this in 2017 & have been phone-banking and canvassing and table-ing for Sanders since. Artists for Bernie 20/20
good for you, hope your activism is still energizing you!
This video shows an intellectual conversation between the two people that I probably have the most respect for out of anyone in the world.
I absolutely agree with you, @Connor Moodie!
@@eve4641 ...and Connor Moodie. Me, Too!
The pub talk of two millionaires.
Wow simply amazing. So much logic and compassion in the same room. 👏🏾👏🏿👏🏽👏🏼
How refreshing.
Bernie is the revolution we’ve been waiting for, for the last 50 years!!!
The best president the US never had!
Let us stand together 🧡
Love them both.
Great conversation.
Follower from Australia, we really need a global Revolution.
Powerful Bernie Sanders
We should have voted you in, Bernie.
The two men I most admire in all the world. The world needs to hear...really hear these men.
Uncle Bernie and uncle Reich in one Video, now I've seen it all. Thank you 👍
If There Is Going To Be More Children, Then We Need More Programs To Have Them Keep Up With Other Countries And The Education To Our Own Country
Both of you are American Heroes!
Two of my favorite people, love this!!! ❤️❤️✌🏻
I love Bernie Sanders. We need him right now
He's a progressive alright with a hand in your pocket look at stalin,Mao,the president of Venezuela and Cuba if you want that vote blue
@@donaldlazear5604 People don;t know what Progressive even means ....
People will say your are soining or exagerating ...
BIt guess what ...
Tad Devines who authored Yanukovych's election-night victory speech is/was partners Gates and Manafort were both indicted in October 2017 on charges related to their consultation work with pro-Russian political were
Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich are what Obama, who I do admire nonetheless, could have been had he not sold himself out for mass appeal. Compromising is necessary to get things done, but the system is rigged. We need regulation and not watered down and ineffective laws. 🐛 💦
Corporations is what ruined the family values we may not work hard do to technology but longer hours an less money means less time with family
1:01 two fabulous civil servants .they are the gold standard.
I love bernie and I love robert, too! Thank you!
Senator Bernie your are look very PRESIDENTIAL! LOVE YOU SO MUCH WANT TO SEE YOU!
Seeing you two together warms my hearth and believe in a better future again
Like it, love it.
Berne arrives all the same.
My two favourite Americans joined arm. I'm grateful for this, thank you.
Favorite what? Clowns?
@@edwinamendelssohn5129 at least they'd be funnier than you
Im watching Bernie!!
Affordable Housing, resonates with me.
Great video but this was shot in 2018 so just a bit dated. Everything they said is still very valid!
Is that so? Or did Reich say that the push started in '18 because of the youth coming out to put the Dems in congress?
@@solidaritytime3650 the Koch brothers are down to one brother and Paul Ryan left office on January 2019.
Thank you, I thought I was the only one who picked that up!
Bernie 2020 all day everyday!!! 🤗 🤗 🤗
"America has been Bought! I am here to give the power back to the people, and take it from the one percent!" Bernie Sanders 2020
Sucker.
It should've been Bernie in 2016 & 2020.
However sadly the system was rigged against Senator Sanders.
Bernie Sanders is the only Senator that reads the Bills, & Expanded Medicare For All would save U.S taxpayers $450 Billion dollars a year in Healthcare costs! 😊
And then his own party buried him in the primaries, and not only would be have beat Trump, but his reelection wouldnt be anything but an absolute certainty and his protege would have won the election after that. Instead we have to worry about the real chance of trump getting his fat ass back into the white house.
I'm a senior citizen and a Bernie voter. I am fed up with the corporate power over our government.
Just with the fact that Bernie is fighting for us out here , I rest better. Thank you Bernie
The best part is he's been fighting that fight for all of his political life. I love that he stands firmly for his fellow man. "People over profit". I hate that it's been such a fight...it should be a simple victory. I would probably fight alongside Berinie. And yes, I understand it's 2023 and this video is years old. Guess what, Bernie still stands firmly with us.
He is against our children who will have to pay for the handouts these socialists want
Has he invited you to one of his mansions?
No he don't he did not pay his campaign staff a livable wage he also said in the nineteen seventies no one should have more than a million dollars about five million in today's money guess what he has more laws for thee and not for me is Sanders motto
We need public funding of elections and if accept public funding you get the label of "clean candidate." I love Bernie Sanders and the people I learned economics from were also great humanitarians. They genuinely cared about the working class and the poor.
Two GREAT minds which has one great mission to accomplis
to EDUCATE the public .
And 31 minutes later the video has been watched. I knew these guys would throw off me schedule as soon as I saw the video pop up! These 2 would make our country and the world a better place if they made it to the White House.
I hope Robert Reich get a postion in Bernie's Administration!
Boy Bernie, you got that right! Bob is a brilliant man! Love you both!
Bernie Sanders for President!🇺🇸
I Love Bernie, and First Lady Jane! #Bernie2020
Robert Reich I'm your fan also!
I'd vote for Bernie Sanders if it was just his brain in a jar with a computer to speak for him. Love you Bernie and you will always have our support. Sanders 2020!!!
I support Bernie Sanders 2020!!
