What are Bernie Sanders' views on winning back the working class?
Here's a question. If you walked into a stash house and found it full of $20 million, how much would you steal? That's the question Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have to answer in Netflix's new movie, The Rip. They play a team of Miami cops alongside Teyana Taylor, Steven Yeun, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Kyle Chandler, and Sasha Kaye, all trying to decide, are they the good guys or the bad guys? This movie is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride the entire time, keeping you guessing till the very end. Don't miss the rip. Watch now only on Netflix. Today's guest is a senator from the state of Vermont. Before that, he was a congressman. He was a mayor. He's a mittened meme, actually. I'm thankful for his return to the show.
Today's guest is Senator Bernie Sanders.
I will find a song.
Oh, yeah.
How does Bernie Sanders respond to ongoing ICE raids?
Leonard Cohen used to spend time in here. Yeah, my mom used to play Leonard Cohen for us when we were kids. She liked him, and so she would play his When the Walls Came Down. Remember that? Yeah, and the other here is Hallelujah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Here in New York City, there is a... It's called the Youth Choir of New York City. Does that ring any bells? It's kids.
Pull them up. The Youth Choir of New York City, is that it?
Yeah, it's beautiful. And among other things, they do a beautiful, beautiful rendition of Cone's Hallelujah, which I love very much.
What changes does Bernie Sanders suggest for the two-party system?
Yeah, I haven't been to see them. I would like to go check them out, though. Do they perform pretty often?
Mm-hmm. What's beautiful about it, these are kids from the city, often working class kids. The guy does a fantastic job, and the quality is really wonderful. And we're trying to do something in, there it is. God, you can't say a word here. It's up in, there it is. Those are the kids, and beautiful, and wonderful.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's nice. No, I haven't gone and seen it. Where did I go? I went to see a Knicks game.
How does Bernie Sanders view the role of nurses in healthcare?
They haven't won a championship in 53 years. Right? I didn't even realize that.
Well, I'm Donnie's mayor. That'll change.
Yeah, there we go, huh? Hey, we'll start maybe getting some more foreign players in. Hey, they got some good guys at the Eurostep. You know, changed a lot of things. I saw that you were out there on the nurses picket line, the New York nurses.
Yep.
Yeah, that's awesome. We went the other day, too. We had a great time.
Oh, wow.
What are the implications of AI and robotics in healthcare?
That's a nice crowd.
That's when you were. That was there. Oh, that's me today. There I am.
Who's that handsome guy in the brown coat? Oh, that's me.
All right.
Who's that kid with him?
Oh, that's the mayor.
Oh, yeah, that's Zoran, huh? Yeah. Yeah, there we were. We went out there the other day. We had a good time.
How does Bernie Sanders define healthcare as a human right?
We stayed for a few hours, walked around, shook some bells, you know.
Great.
Got out there.
I love nurses.
My sister's a nurse. Where is she a nurse? She's a nurse down in Louisiana. Good. But I figured that if, you know, things start here in New York, a lot of big things start here.
Theo, let me just say something. I really appreciate the work you do and other podcasters do. This is one of the technological revolutions that is really good. You know, sometimes I go on TV and I'm asked to deal with an issue in seven seconds. I can't deal with it. You can't deal with it, right?
What is Bernie Sanders' perspective on the influence of billionaires in politics?
Yeah. Takes a little bit of time. So thank you for what you're doing.
Well, I appreciate that. Yeah, we're trying to learn as we go, too, and it changes a lot, you know. But were you at Mount Sinai? Which one did you go?
Outside of here. Yeah, that's where we went. Yeah, yeah. Well, I'll tell you, I was really proud to go there and be alongside Mayor Zoran Mamdani. You know, I'm the former chairman of the Health Education Labor Committee. And I'll tell you, Theo, I have met with nurses all over this country. I love nurses. It's no great secret that our healthcare system is broken.
How does Bernie Sanders envision political change in America?
Everybody knows that. And the people who are keeping it going are, in fact, the nurses. You know, they're with you when babies are born. They're with you when you die. They're with you in between. They're at your bedside. They're the backbone of the healthcare system, and I love them.
