Their suggesting that Trump and Bernie could be on the same ticket might be the most politically ignorant thing I’ve heard in my life. But I give the guy some credit for having Bernie on and trying to learn more

I don’t think the real problem is shadiness or example for kids. Its how does democracy work when candidates have no relationship to the truth.

Yes prump is compromised in every which way: financially, judicially, politically and socially. It’s quite a feat, really, to be such a horrible major party candidate. “Amazin”
@@sukotu23 Donald Trump has had a long history of using contractors and subcontractors (including small business vendors), then not paying. A common tactic he does is when the business calls Trump's people because they haven't received payment long past the due date, what often happens is that Trump's people will tell them that if they try to go to court it could take forever, Trump has a team of lawyers while the small business owner can't afford decent lawyers. However, if they are willing to heavily discount the bill, it's likely that they will receive payment in a timely manner. There are countless bakeries, florists and other small businesses with many, many accounts. (Of course, there are a lot of cases of refusing to pay larger companies.) Even things like paying for security at campaign events, Trump's offices simply don't bother. The guy is a dishonest businessman, he has been his entire career. He claims to be for the small guy, the everyday hardworking guy but could care less.

I’m glad that after such an ignorant opening we see what a traditional politician should do. Be patient, explain your position clearly and without malice. He could have said “I would never run with that asshole” but instead he acknowledged the point that was made and its appearance of merit, and then presented the facts from his perspective without invalidating the question.
I like Bernie but he could never get elected president. The problem is that neither party would show him much loyalty and much of what he wanted to do would never see the light of day.
Bernie would tell you to do some more research on it instead of falling into hero worship.....& the other person is correct; Ron Paul(not the son Rand Paul) was another good guy.

Theo is so much better than Rogan. He doesn't pretend to know everything and shows genuine interest and curiosity with his guests. Loved to see Bernie join him for this episode.
A Bernie presidency is the kind of thing that would fundamentally overhaul the broken mess that is the US' political system, and that's exactly why no one will ever see it happen. Too many rich and influential people would have too much to lose.
Love Bernie! But he's awfully generous with his words about the Felon. As a woman whose rights he's stripped away, I have much more pointed adjectives to describe his lack of character. VOTE BLUE if you want your daughters to have any semblance of autonomy.
reminds me of a joke about cocaine. your intense friend: THIS IS GREAT! IT INTENSIFIES YOUR PERSONALITY! you: what if you are an @$$#0le?! "doing things differently" is only good if the difference is positive or if negative, it is adding to our learning of what NOT to do! in that way trump was beneficial as he has shown us that we are not exceptional enough to not fall for fascist tropes. of course we should have already known that from previous experience, but the same party has been gutting our educational system for 50yrs so most americans know just as little about their own history as world history. and so, we who do not pay attention to history are doomed to repeat mistakes.
Ron Paul as well.......& they would have given any of that kind the Jimmy Carter treatment.

@@whaddyathink949 While I admire Jimmy Carter as a human being, he was a horrible president. He went into Washington not trusting anyone but the so-called Georgia Mafia and proceeded to alienate the Democrats (who he needed to pass his policies.)
Every time I think about term limits or age limits in politics I think of Bernie and start second guessing myself. He's obviously an exception to the rule, though. At 82 he still speaks with the clarity, rhythm, and conviction that most politicians can never dream of. I was worried about him running in 2019 but once he was on the trail it was obvious that, for him, age *is* just a number. Even after a heart attack the guy was running circles around candidates half his age. I know we're slowly approaching a time where Sanders is not a part of the national stage of American politics, and while that's sad, it's great to look around and see all of the people that got involved after his 2016 campaign was suspended. The address he gave when he withdrew his candidacy at the end of that monumental campaign must have led to dozens, maybe hundreds, of young, ambitious, and vocational (heartfelt and virtuous) people to be elected into office across the nation. Thanks Senator Sanders for never being ashamed of being yourself, and for never giving up the fight. Good luck on your re-election campaign!
Really wonder what the US would have looked like with Bernie in the chair during Covid. He has such grounded and empathetic values. Something that was sorely missing during those times.
Theo is very much in the UFC, Dana White, Rogansphere of responding to & being impressed by the false bravado & loud talk Trump exudes. That realm is more impressed by showmanship more over policy & all of them parrot many false statements made by Trump & push conspiracies as possible fact. Its a key demo of their podcast audience & why they never call out the obvious b%llsh!t. It is about audience retention & money at the end of the day.

He didn't cave. Bernie was never going to win the nomination. Almost the entire Democratic party, who is beholden to Wall Street (corporations), was against Bernie and in favor of Hillary. MSNBC, part of Wall Street, was for Hillary and pushing pro-Hillary and anti-Bernie stories and commentary 24/7. Even Bernie's friends said, "Bernie is a good friend, but I support Hillary." Bernie is an independent. He is not part of the Democratic party. He caucasses with the Dems and needs their support. They weren't going to support him. He had no choice but to drop out. We all suspected Hillary would blow it and lose to trump, but Wall Street wanted their chosen one. When Wall Street gets their person in both on the Dems side and the GOP side, they can't lose. Bernie is not beholden to Wall Street, so they did not want him as they don't control him. In 2020, it was more of the same, except Lizzie Warren made it her mission to make sure Bernie didn't become president. She had a personal vendetta against Bernie. She bad mouthed him every chance she got. Went on MSNBC and bad mouthed him. Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid did the same. Maddow did an interview with Bernie, and all she did was attack Bernie with the Warren and other BS accusations and never let Bernie talk policy even though he tried again and again. The Maddow interview was a hit piece on Bernie. Remember the debate when Warren refused to shake Bernie's hand, and she made a scene after the debate and pointed her finger at him and scolded him? Warren was IN it to make sure Bernie didn't WIN it. She never dropped out of the race until Biden was the chosen one. She never endorsed Bernie, though she didn'thave a path to victory. Warren is a 🐍 snake 100%. Remember when that was trending on social media? In 2016 and 2020, just know that there are forces at work to make sure Bernie doesn't win. In 2016, it was the Democratic party and Wall Street. In 2020, it was the Democratic party, Wall Street, and Lizzie Warren.

@@tj-kg4co The DNC would never allow it. Sanders, while being pretty centrist, is very much a threat to the hyper capitalism we have in the US. That's why they interfered in both primaries he ran in. Seems like the Clintons have infested the DNC and DCCC with their Republican sensibilities. The New Deal coalition never recovered. Now Democrats don't fight for their policies and run from actual leftist solutions to problems they thought they solved just about a hundred years ago.
The argument isn't that Trump is a liar and other politicians are complete honest. It's that Trump is a pathological liar who cares about nothing but his own self-interest and ego, and other politicians are likely to stretch the truth from time to time. One is much more serious than the other. This should be obvious.
It's frustrating to know that there are people out there that "don't pay attention to politics" (which is fine), but don't even put enough thought into it to think that Trump/Bernie makes any sense what-so-ever.

His "house" is not just built on sand, it's built on quicksand - there's nothing solid or true about what he says or does.
Narcissists do their own thing, always, for themselves and no one else.
Their suggesting that Trump and Bernie could be on the same ticket might be the most politically ignorant thing I’ve heard in my life. But I give the guy some credit for having Bernie on and trying to learn more
I’d watch the rest of the episode. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s a way to portray issues and have the audience learn along. He asks some pretty thoughtful questions and has good instincts throughout and always seemed like he was asking Bernie so that he could “teach” him and his audience.
@@scoobertmcruppert2915 idk man. Ive known about Theo for a while. He’s a good guy but not exactly “plugged in” when it comes to current events and politics. He admits as much. Wasnt trying to sound rude, but thinking Trump and Bernie could put aside their differences is just dumb if you actually know what they stand for.
@@claymathews8814I’m pretty sure Theo couldn’t recite Trump’s policy positions on most topics even 70% accurately.

Yeah, I stopped watching at that point. Someone that clueless doesn't deserve to be heard.

I am not an American, but have to say; the world needs more politicians like Bernie (and Katy)
No, we dont.
I don’t think the real problem is shadiness or example for kids. Its how does democracy work when candidates have no relationship to the truth. Saying one thing and doing another is a problem with most politicians but trump doesn’t feel required to be even a little honest. 2025? He knows nothing about it?
what are the lies? got hard evidence?
@@13bustah There's a site called Politifact that fact-checks politicians' statements over time, Trump's got a pretty shit record there as I recall. Basically no-one is going to be 100% accurate in every statement they make, especially as the facts change since that particular politician heard them, but there's a pretty significant difference. See for yourself.
@@13bustah He said he had a better health care plan that he never was able to even descibe. he said he had an infrastructure bill which never got written down, a plan to build a wall that would have had to go over mountains , a plan to make mexico pay for that wall. he won states by votes that no lawyer has ever been able to provide any evidence of.
Agree! It goes along with JD Vance's ridiculous argument that only people with kids have a stake in the future. Adults need honest leaders too, and people without kids are on equal footing to those that do.

@@ashamedrepublican1224 10% for the big guy.
He was sued by contractors, hard working men and women, for failure to pay quite a bit.
What?
@@sukotu23 Donald Trump has had a long history of using contractors and subcontractors (including small business vendors), then not paying. A common tactic he does is when the business calls Trump's people because they haven't received payment long past the due date, what often happens is that Trump's people will tell them that if they try to go to court it could take forever, Trump has a team of lawyers while the small business owner can't afford decent lawyers. However, if they are willing to heavily discount the bill, it's likely that they will receive payment in a timely manner. There are countless bakeries, florists and other small businesses with many, many accounts. (Of course, there are a lot of cases of refusing to pay larger companies.) Even things like paying for security at campaign events, Trump's offices simply don't bother. The guy is a dishonest businessman, he has been his entire career. He claims to be for the small guy, the everyday hardworking guy but could care less.

I think he knows a lot more than he lets on and approaches the issues so people watching can learn along…maybe
I’m glad that after such an ignorant opening we see what a traditional politician should do. Be patient, explain your position clearly and without malice.
He could have said “I would never run with that asshole” but instead he acknowledged the point that was made and its appearance of merit, and then presented the facts from his perspective without invalidating the question.
I’m not sure he meant same ticket. I think he meant same ballot. Bernie vs Trump.
Theo is a curious, open minded person.
He doesn’t but at least he’s aware of it, that at least sets him apart from many

I think I'd take 8 years of Bernie over the mess of Trump and Biden. What a disaster.
A Bernie presidency is the kind of thing that would fundamentally overhaul the broken mess that is the US' political system, and that's exactly why no one will ever see it happen. Too many rich and influential people would have too much to lose.

"doing things differently" is only good if the difference is positive or if negative, it is adding to our learning of what NOT to do! in that way trump was beneficial as he has shown us that we are not exceptional enough to not fall for fascist tropes. of course we should have already known that from previous experience, but the same party has been gutting our educational system for 50yrs so most americans know just as little about their own history as world history. and so, we who do not pay attention to history are doomed to repeat mistakes.

Bernie, being real af as always.
Lying isn’t being real, fyi
Every time I think about term limits or age limits in politics I think of Bernie and start second guessing myself. He's obviously an exception to the rule, though. At 82 he still speaks with the clarity, rhythm, and conviction that most politicians can never dream of. I was worried about him running in 2019 but once he was on the trail it was obvious that, for him, age *is* just a number. Even after a heart attack the guy was running circles around candidates half his age. I know we're slowly approaching a time where Sanders is not a part of the national stage of American politics, and while that's sad, it's great to look around and see all of the people that got involved after his 2016 campaign was suspended. The address he gave when he withdrew his candidacy at the end of that monumental campaign must have led to dozens, maybe hundreds, of young, ambitious, and vocational (heartfelt and virtuous) people to be elected into office across the nation. Thanks Senator Sanders for never being ashamed of being yourself, and for never giving up the fight. Good luck on your re-election campaign!

Really wonder what the US would have looked like with Bernie in the chair during Covid. He has such grounded and empathetic values. Something that was sorely missing during those times.
Theo acting like he’s just finding out some new info about Trump being shady is pathetic.
Theo is very much in the UFC, Dana White, Rogansphere of responding to & being impressed by the false bravado & loud talk Trump exudes. That realm is more impressed by showmanship more over policy & all of them parrot many false statements made by Trump & push conspiracies as possible fact.

He didn't cave. Bernie was never going to win the nomination. Almost the entire Democratic party, who is beholden to Wall Street (corporations), was against Bernie and in favor of Hillary. MSNBC, part of Wall Street, was for Hillary and pushing pro-Hillary and anti-Bernie stories and commentary 24/7. Even Bernie's friends said, "Bernie is a good friend, but I support Hillary."
Bernie is an independent. He is not part of the Democratic party. He caucasses with the Dems and needs their support. They weren't going to support him. He had no choice but to drop out.
We all suspected Hillary would blow it and lose to trump, but Wall Street wanted their chosen one. When Wall Street gets their person in both on the Dems side and the GOP side, they can't lose. Bernie is not beholden to Wall Street, so they did not want him as they don't control him.
In 2020, it was more of the same, except Lizzie Warren made it her mission to make sure Bernie didn't become president. She had a personal vendetta against Bernie. She bad mouthed him every chance she got. Went on MSNBC and bad mouthed him. Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid did the same. Maddow did an interview with Bernie, and all she did was attack Bernie with the Warren and other BS accusations and never let Bernie talk policy even though he tried again and again. The Maddow interview was a hit piece on Bernie.
Remember the debate when Warren refused to shake Bernie's hand, and she made a scene after the debate and pointed her finger at him and scolded him? Warren was IN it to make sure Bernie didn't WIN it. She never dropped out of the race until Biden was the chosen one. She never endorsed Bernie, though she didn'thave a path to victory. Warren is a 🐍 snake 100%. Remember when that was trending on social media?
In 2016 and 2020, just know that there are forces at work to make sure Bernie doesn't win. In 2016, it was the Democratic party and Wall Street. In 2020, it was the Democratic party, Wall Street, and Lizzie Warren.

I like Bernie but for him to pretend that Trump is a liar and the rest of the politicians are honest is a childish thing to say. Grow up little boy
The argument isn't that Trump is a liar and other politicians are complete honest. It's that Trump is a pathological liar who cares about nothing but his own self-interest and ego, and other politicians are likely to stretch the truth from time to time. One is much more serious than the other. This should be obvious.
It's frustrating to know that there are people out there that "don't pay attention to politics" (which is fine), but don't even put enough thought into it to think that Trump/Bernie makes any sense what-so-ever.
why is Bernie acting like politicians aren't known for lying and being shady? that's what politicians are.
