- Sen. Elizabeth Warren is the law professor who wants to eliminate student debt. Her reputation as a defender of consumers was only momentarily overshadowed by her claims to distant Native American ancestry, her defense of Israeli strikes on Gaza, or her past as an ‘ice-cold Republican.’
So how did a woman who stayed in Reagan’s party throughout the AIDS and crack epidemics become every executive’s worst nightmare? (via Who Is?, 🗣Julia Shiplett)

In US news and current events today, meet Elizabeth Warren, a U.S. Senator, a CEO’s worst nightmare, and a 2020 democratic presidential candidate, who has a very real chance of becoming the nation’s first ever female president.
As a professor in the 80s, she was traveling the country with a photocopier, working on a big study examining bankruptcy: who files for it and why it happens. She set out to prove that people were robbing the system.
In 1992, she became a law professor at Harvard and later got a call from Washington. One of her old high school debate buddies was hired by the Clinton administration to study the country’s bankruptcy laws, and he decided to call Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren. She said, “We hadn’t seen each other in the intervening decades, but 14-year-old boys seem to remember 15-year-old girls who once beat them in [debate] tournament play.''
She went to bat for the American people against both the Bush and Obama administrations, questioning them about why the government was more interested in bailing out the banks than helping homeowners facing foreclosure.
Warren won a Senate seat in 2012, representing Massachusetts, where she’s doggedly fought for the American people ever since.
Warren has been one of the loudest voices in the Senate holding the rich accountable, but she has also done some things during her past that many are critical of. For example, in 1986 Warren claimed she was “American Indian” when she filled out paperwork for the State Bar of Texas. In 2019 Warren released DNA results showing she had a Native American ancestor 6 to 10 generations ago. Critics argue the distant ancestors make her unable to claim the identity. Warren apologized. And in 2017, she voted to raise the defense budget to $700 billion, far surpassing the $54 billion increase requested by Trump. She championed Israel’s war on Gaza and supported sanctions against Venezuela. But, all in all, she’s largely seen as one of the most progressive U.S. senators America has ever seen.
On February 9, 2019, Warren formally announced her bid for the presidency. Throughout the debates, Warren was frequently seen side by side with Senator Bernie Sanders as they both bashed private insurance companies, and the rich, and sometimes Joe Biden. The two candidates are often compared to one another, and of course they overlap, but denying there are differences between them is inaccurate. When Donald Trump - at the State of the Union - said that America would never be a socialist country, Warren stood up and applauded.
Warren’s recent shift of shooing big money away during the primaries has critics fearful that this is just a strategic move and not a deeply held belief. They argue she’s trying to keep up with Bernie Sanders and appease the immense democratic socialist shift in the party before taking big money again in the general to compete with Trump. In fact, Warren confirmed this fear.
It’s unclear what an ever evolving Elizabeth Warren would look like in the general election. But if she gets the chance, this one time Harvard professor with tons of government experience - and a finger on the pulse of the political landscape - might just beat a former steak salesman.

@nowthisnews
Can we get a who is Bernie Sanders? I'm curious what, if any, real criticism can even be made over the course of his political career? 😮
yup, Bernie supporter and i want to see it.
@ Huh, guess you didnt actually even watch this video huh?
If you check out the podcast there's already an episode on him as well as a completely different one on Warren lol (they're about 40-60mins long though)
@UCUVP49ZTPfdIJovZ6TydeBA Uh.. what? lol. The directly talked about her claim to be "native American" and even said how small of a percent it would have to be since it had to go back 6 generations. They also directly addressed _many_ of the issues possible dem voters have with her and are keeping them from wanting to vote for her. The very issues that keep me wary of her. In fact they dug into her quite a bit with a direct jab that it took bankruptcies for her to leave the Republican party, and not the overt racism stemming from them.
But i get it, you dont like "Now This" and anything they say has to be propaganda even when they talk about facts. Iv seen people like you here in the comments before. Rarely do you seem to pay attention to the videos and when you have an issue with facts Now This brings to the table you ignore them. And unless they server you Warrens head on a platter you will cry about them being "bias". Sheesh.
DaLagga what countless failures, care to cite your sources?
The whole "Indian" story was grossly mispresented. What happened was that the Republicans dug deep to find dirt on her and THAT was the only thing they found. so after all the fuss they made she did the DNA test AND attached a statement that she wasn't claiming any of the culture or anything like this, for her it was just important that he mother didn't lie to her when she taught her that there was an ancestor, only to then being accused of doing what she was clearly stating NOT doing, leading her to apologize over nothing because she rather did that than having more of a discussion over a nothing burger.
The problem is stupid voters. I can prove that with two words: Donald Trump.
1 / 1024th. Is this comment a joke... The average white American has more "Indian" blood than Warren, Warren is more white than the majority of white Americans.
I bet she had family members who carried stories throughout her life and she might have not been aware of how little Native American blood she had.
It's not like there was DNA in the 80s and she did submit to the test.
At least she didn't dodge it.
Just being a woman doesn't make you progressive.
Let Thatcher speak for herself! ...
I spy a Bernie Bro...
fighting for the american people does, though.
She is definitely a strong character. You may not like some of her stances but most of them are pretty good. You can't really have it all.
lmao sure
A lifelong liar 🤥
Thank you for laying out facts!! She’s too flip floppy for my taste. I cant fully trust her. Bernie 2020!
#feelthebern
She is still one of top choices. We need a wealth tax!
Voting for her now is a waste, she won't win, we must go behind Bernie. Progressives united!
Wealth tax doesn’t work, of the 15 countries that implemented it, they repealed it because it doesn’t work. Andrew yang has better ideas
@@davidgafo Ha lol. Go joe! Bernie was never going to beat Trump.
Another Hilary Clinton
well she not Bernie so thats that
Bernie 2020
She used to be Native American
she is a snakive American 🐍🐍
Baby Yoda she’s 1/1204th last of the Mohicans

Absolutely LOVE this woman! Anyone, male or female who can make the 1% hide in fear whether through guilt or a guilty conscience is AOK in my book. Elizabeth has set a great example for young women (and men) everywhere in the world especially those who are kept down by a crony capitalist society..
Now if only she was Native American…
Warren for Education Secretary!
She would be much better than Betsy Devos

She's conservative like Biden.
Ugh, no. I wouldn't go that far
She is an establishment hack that would maintain the status quo. All bark and no bite.
She’s actually a Republican that pretends to support Medicare for all to get votes and then join Republican Party while she gets into office
🐍
She's all over the democratic spectrum sadly...her best shot was 2016, this year she just isn't her time.
It’ll never be her time
She seems like a 50% Republican and 50% democrat and I kinda like that.
“Ton of political experience” is not entirety accurate. It shows in her flip-flop on M4A and her dipping poll numbers.
A lying yt politician 🤷🏻♂️ nothing new 🥱
She also approved and then backpedaled on Ben Carson's appointment to Department of Housing when it wasn't even politically advantageous to approve him in the first place.
I'm still standing with Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard is great also. Not taking away anything from Elizabeth Warren
@cuiying deng so you fell for this cracked to the corporations you have the companies in China don't fall for this yes for the Trump dictionary but if the corporations that control America no president the United States there to confront the power that control this country until we don't change Congress in the United States I don't care what president in the United States stays in power they won't be able to do much. And by the way Bernie Sanders heat I should have been saying the same message for the past over 20 years if this country supposed to be the greatest economic country in the world why in the world we don't have a universal health insurance why is it the other countries around the world better prescription plans than the United States there are millions of people still in America that don't even have health insurance my own brother who had to retire from the NYPD kids prescription when up from $800 a month to $1,700 and now they don't even want to cover it don't tell me this is better than America people are suffering don't get me wrong I'm not saying that Trump can do it all or any other president but the Congress is afraid to confront the powers that control this country and the last President to do it was John F Kennedy
@@Magic818100 tulsi is good, Bernie is a good person bad policy, and warren is just a mean teacher
@@Evili555 and now after 10 month now it's a different era0
HA! Joe won. Because President Elect Joe Biden was the best choice!
@@alalakjakaja5793 that's not what I was referring too. That the joe Biden is there is cuz the power that control this nation place there leaders. That's what I mean they did to him twice. President John F Kennedy, Martin Luther king jr., Malcolm X and Robert Kennedy. That tells you alot
Although I've come to respect Warren, you really glossed over the Native American thing and how she backstabbed Bernie.
She didn’t backstab bernie. His stupid fans were being sexist pigs to her. I’m glad joe beat that man.
@@alalakjakaja5793 I too am glad poor people won't be getting healthcare, good sir.
Warren is my Hero.
Cringe

IANovace what are you talking about? Have you actually listened to anything she has said or watched anything she’s done over the last decade?
A 🐍
i_DuB why
"progressive leftist agenda" lololol
The wicked witch of Boston
A phony
I was a Warren fan till she went against Medicare For All and smeared Bernie Sanders as sexist.
Even her brother called her a big fat liar for going around saying her dad was a janitor
Never heard of this comedian doing the narration, but this is pure comedy gold. Absurdist humor at its finest.
money rulz. so forget your own wellbeing. as long as we stay cows that get milked.
AND ELIZABETH WARREN IS AWESOME...
She is professor 👩🏫? When that happened!!
@JayFrost Oh you're such a cute little boy, NOT! To answer the original question after being in private practice and before becoming a Senator.
There was a moment there last autumn when Warren found a sweet spot between Sanders and Biden as a candidate who could please both wings of the party, but then she just dropped the ball. Haaaaard.
She raised in the polls because of m4a. And loved by the establishment. For the fact that she was lieing
I LUV MAXINE WATERS!
A native american.
a snakive American 🐍🐍
Love her!!!!
Liz said FROM THE START that she would not take big money donations during the primary. I remember her saying it. She made no promises about the general.
Biased a little much?
well you know when you are trash when you get on this "who is"... BERNIE 2020!!!
You should be equally critical of both conservatives and liberals.
That's because sanctions on Venezuela were the correct thing to do.
She fought for the financial mistreatment, but she didn't fight for the racist thing that is Massachusettes, they literally make POC miserable down there.
A ssssnake
Saved y'all 9:23 minutes
I’m a moderate dem, but wow these episodes are biased against a moderate dems and some Republicans
What difference does it make where the money comes from. Just focus on what they do with it. Yes we must compromise. Congress represents the people. Not all people think alike. We all know the expression to choose your battles carefully.
She's an intelligent democrat
In her words: “She’s just another player in the game.”
But in many people’s hearts: “She’s just another 🐍 in the grass!”
All this Berners out here trolling. Warren sure has you all worried.
Lol yeah and her 14% nationally is so scary
And when she drops out the race is all Bernie.
Nah she's toast. We're just applying pressure she's wobbly.
Nah she never had a chance EVER!
please link lw apologise video it could be out there just haven't seen it
btw she is registered republican before democrat
A liar and a FRAUD!
A lying liar who lies
she literally sounds like my nana and idk if I like that.
Is it just me or was it true. I saw a Trump flag at 0:29
oh you mean Pocahontis? she lied about her ethnicity for years and president Trump is the only one who really put her lie on the table.
Israeli strikes on Gaza is a good thing tho...
A lier and a cheat. And those are her better qualities
Oh Lord I heard people call Trump all sort of names but this one is maybe the biggest put down The former steak salesman ,yeah Trump did peddle T:Bone steaks.
Hindsight- she’s a better person for the seat than trump.
I admire her because she answers questions honestly, like Jenk's about weather she was only turning down money for the primary and why.
Most would dance around the issue.
This would be more convincing if I believed that this is an unbiased review of Warren. I haven't noticed a ton of non-biased stories coming from NowThis though.
It's not. The whole story about her heritage was framed completely dishonestly by leaving out important details (most important that she didn't just release the result of her test but did it in tandem with a video in which she made very clear that she WASN'T claiming any heritage or special cultural status based on it, only to then being accused that she did, even though she clearly didn't, showing how dishonest the whole "controversy" was from the get go), and that she doesn't want the US to be a socialist country isn't a mark against her either, because "Socialism" in the US context has a very particular meaning. It is better to push for the notion of a Social democracy or a social market economy than accepting this toxic label. (Especially since that is what she actually wants, a state based on the European model).
she should’ve won..
It's okay, she can just give up and endorse Biden since she cares more about herself than the positions she purports to champion. WORKED WONDERS WHEN SHE DID IT WITH HILLARY LAST TIME, RIGHT?! =3
My vote is for Comrade Bernie the Bolshevik!
(Breitbart) - Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) son-in-law, with whom she is close, has troubling ties to the Iranian regime, according to a new book by Peter Schweizer.
The book, Profiles in Corruption, reveals progressive leaders’ little-known ties to corrupt businesses and governments and discusses the Massachusetts senator in a chapter.
The chapter details the business deals of Warren’s son-in-law, Sushil Tyagi, who is married to her daughter, Amelia. Tyagi was born in India but moved to the United States, where he met Amelia while they were both pursuing MBAs at Wharton Business School.
Warren and Tyagi are close. She attended his brother’s wedding in India, recounting it in her memoir. She and her husband Bruce Mann in December 2009 served as witnesses for a power of attorney corporate document he filed in India.
Since his marriage into the Warren family, Tyagi “has been involved in a series of curious-even troubling-business ventures around the world,” Schweizer writes.
Tyagi runs Tricolor Films, and in 2008, produced a film called The Song of Sparrows, directed by Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi.
The film was described as Majidi’s “most religious” and is about a man who is fired from his job on an ostrich farm, moves to the big city and becomes a motorcycle taxi driver, and soon becomes consumed with his passengers’ lives and is swept up in a world of greed. It is his family that help him restore his “caring and generous nature,” according to a film synopsis.
Tyagi was listed as the film’s sole producer on a New York Times page, in credits which have now been deleted. A look back at the page’s archive revealed that the film was funded by the Iranian government agency that is overseen by Iranian propagandists.
Schweizer writes:
The full credits of the film, for some reason, seem to also have been scrubbed from the internet. We obtained a copy by using the Wayback machine and made a startling discovery: the movie’s chief investors included none other than the social deputy of the State Welfare Organization (SWO) of Iran (SWO-“معاونت اجتماعی سازمان بهزیستی کشور”) as well as the Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran. (“سازمان فرهنگی و هنری شهرداری تهران”) These two investors in the film might appear at first glance to be innocuous cultural organizations-but they are not. Both are funded and controlled by the Islamist Iranian government. The Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran states: “This organization was founded in 1996 and [does] its activities under the supervision of a board of trustees composed of various cultural institutions such as IRIB and Islamic propaganda organization.”
The Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran’s page promotes cultural events such as one for school children entitled “The Seal of Hostages,” attended by several top Iranian officials, according to the book.
Another event is the inherently antisemitic Quds Day on the last day of Ramadan. The organization also arranges marches, as well as organizes posters and other materials, for Quds Day. Its site says, “A new plan for the destruction of Israel will be launched, and the Quds Cultural Radio station will be located at the Radio Station. Also, the ‘I love the fight against Israel’ is distributed among the people.”
Schweizer notes, “Quds Day typically features massive crowds organized by the Iranian government chanting ‘death to America’ and burning effigies, with full media coverage.”
He writes Tyagi’s The Song of Sparrows has film credits that read like “who’s who of prominent Iranian government institutions.” For example, there is a thank-you to the “Iranian Revolutionary Guards Air Force.”
This was during a time of heightened U.S.-Iran tensions, when Washington had accused Iran of assisting in the killing of five American soldiers based in Iraq, and the then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had repeatedly threatened that the United States, which he declared a “satanic power,” and warned that Israel would disappear from the face of the earth.
Tyagi also produced another film by Majid Majidi, but even less information is available about this film, Schweizer writes.
According to the book, a now deleted Web page describes Tyagi’s production company this way:
Leveraging their relationships with studio executives, access to top creative talent, and the high-level support that they enjoy from numerous foreign governments, this Los Angeles-based production company is developing a number of major international-themed projects for feature films, television, and interactive media.
“It is not known what foreign governments those might involve beyond Iran. Why the website was shut down is also unknown,” the book says.

Seems like you don't care about unifying Democrats and beating Trump in 2020
venus0517 Fuck off with your unity shit. There will only be ONE nominee. That how elections work.

Well this video is very biased towards Bernie.
Love how this ridiculous channel glosses over something as fundamental as lying about your race and culture in order to advance your career. She is as Indian as I am Martian.
Yes Liz is white, and if you aren’t a citizen of a Nation or Tribe the word “Indian” is not for you. Just like the N word isn’t for you.
The choices just keep getting worse.
This "Who is?" series is laughably biased, slight attempts are made to reflect non-becoming aspects of Democratic politician's careers but for the most part this plays like party propaganda. Why are democratic senators seemingly above question and reproach? We need to consider this question and not simply accept the story presented by channels such as NowThis, just as much as we question and criticize what we find on Fox News.
That’s facts! They did a real hit piece on Susan Collins from Maine. Definitely laughably biased. And notice when discussing Donald Trump, he was referred to as a former steak salesman instead of the presiding officer of the trump organization, which was his career at the time of the’16 election. I guess the money really is in parroting DNC talking points 😂
Is she really connected with shushil tyagi who is a producer
Nice puff piece.
Pocohauntis lmao why don’t y’all hate on her like y’all did Paul Ryan
Make great vice president far more Qualified than anyone else in Biden's short list. Then have Karmelia Harris and Glen kishner Run DOJ and fix it and reform it . Joe hope you do this best qualified person to help implement new policy changes .
Racist southern strategy?
God, she's badass.
I'm voting for Warren 2020
Please get informed.
I love the contrast Vox has been the Republicans and Democrats
how many times she said former steaks salesman

She is still the best choice. I love Bernie, and will enthusiastically support him, but do you really think a majority of American voters will elect a self-professed "socialist"? Elizabeth does not hold this baggage.
Elizabeth will never win another election after her smear on Sanders.
And even CNN polls show Sanders bears Trump.
@@maxsmart645 Bernie Sanders is not a socialist nor does he claim to be. What he claims to be isn't even what he really is. If he's a socialist then England, Switzerland, Canada, etc. are socialist.

Proud to support Senator Warren for President. She will fight with the heart of a lion for all of us.
Don't be proud. Just like saying you're proud to being American, like it's an accomplishment.
The facts of Warrens actions is why people turned off her.
She lies and backed out of Medicare for all. Rather than return to what was getting her support originally.
She started her dirty smear job on Sanders is what made people angry and vocal.
It backfired on her. She showed people how she treats those she calls her friends and voters rightly dont believe she wont turn on them.
@@maxsmart645 Troll on, trolls, ain't gonna change a thing. #Warren2020
Republicans should bring their lunch boxes!!
Didn’t she “rob the system” herself? ...by claiming to be Indian and writing a stolen recipe in an Indian cookbook? AND she sent her kids to private school! That said, she sure is smart but when you are running as a “clean candidate” you should not have these glaring issues in your past.
Well her story checked out didn't it. She was told she had an Indian grandfather and she had traces on Native American DNA. He was probably mixed. Those family histories can get muddled. As far as stealing a recipe and sending her kids to private schools, how perfect do you expect people to be for Petes sake!
Compared to Trump and almost every other swamp creature in DC she is an angel.
