This is the guy who was too old for the DNC almost 9 years ago... Dude is as sharp as anyone.
Sharper than Biden and Harris combined
We all know that wasn't the reason they didn't let him run
@thejman5552 He would still want you to vote for them. Also thats not how intelligence works.
@@thejman5552and Trump..
He wasn't too old for the DNC. He was too against corporate interests for the DNC
Such a bummer that conservatives and main stream liberals painted this guy as a some kind of extremist. He literally just talks common sense. Props to Theo for interviewing him.
Were it so easy... Sadly, Bernie is a useful tool for communists. If you haven't seen that yet, then you've not been traumatized by history
Alright if Aden can get trump when’s our Theo trump episode!!!!
Basically all politics in the us is centre-right or far right, compared to the rest of the western world. The power of media companies for decades coupled with the removal of the Fairness Doctrine has allowed right-wing media to paint anything not them as super scary and radical. In reality, the Democratic party is more like the old Republican Party used to be when they were progressive.
Anyone with a brain knows how badly he would fuck up the economy with his capital gains and income tax proposals. He would destroy retirements and make day-to-day living far more difficult ESPECIALLY post covid... this really isnt very difficult to understand.
Well he is extreme.
Theo, I’m a big politics nerd. I grew up in a house with elected officials for parents. I’ve sat through more political interviews, media training sessions, and debates than you can imagine. You asked some of the best questions in the most concise ways of any interviewer I’ve ever heard, and it elicited some of the best responses from Bernie. This was, I think, one of the best pieces of political content to show to an audience that isn’t explicitly interested in politics to help them digest a very broad and deep subject. Great job, you should be proud. This is meaningful work.
We'll said
I concur
👏👏👏👏
Condolences on having politicians for parents.
I had the same exact thought. Theo did amazing with the questions.
Theo out here doing Gods work. Said that after he had Baseem on.
Bernie is a class act. Telling a podcaster "thank you for the opportunity" is humble as heck
I went to a small book signing event in Vermont by Bernie a while ago and he was so humble. He got to the event while we were waiting in line and he even held the door open for us to walk in to the event. He’s amazing.
Yep. Most politicians think they're doing people like Theo a favor by showing up when it's so the opposite
Yeah, he is great. Or at least says great things, and they go and announce "he is friend with Biden and that he is doing great". This is some kind of schizophrenia I can not comprehend.
He says that he opposes one thing, and then he will go and be friends with people who are responsible for the things he oppose. Make that make sense.
I don’t 100% agree with the guy, but I do have a genuine respect for him
Theo discussing our broken healthcare system with Bernie on his podcast is *_INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT._* He asked Bernie better questions than most credentialed journalists, including the specifics of cost, tax burden etc.
100%! We need to keep this conversation going about our terrible for-profit healthcare system. Mainstream news won’t talk about it, yet we have to bear the burden of going into bankruptcy possibly just to live if we get cancer. Fuck that. Thank you Theo for having Bernie on your show 🙏🏽
@@jrky8857 he literally went “in depth” in this episode…
@@jrky8857specifically what detail is he misunderstanding / missing?
Yeah!! Keep making noise, it has to change at some point.
Canada has a horrific healthcare system. Its NOT FREE. We pay thousands each person yet DIE waiting for care
What I love about Theo is that he’ll have a U.S Senator on today then something like a school bus driver the next week. Truly a generational talent.
or a CARNIE!!!
OR A LUNCH LADY (she was amazing!)
Or a coke dealer
Both MVPs lol
Theo is undefeated
Whenever I listen to Bernie, I'm struck by how refreshing it is to hear an American politician actually ANSWER the question that was asked of them...not just work their way back to whatever point they wanted to make. If you're wondering if there are any politicians who fight for us, not just their own interests or greed, here he is.
hes a not so good guy read up on him lol
Bernie is a sellout and owned by his corporate masters. Yes, I am still very sore over him tucking tail.
Bernie is a textbook definition of swamp creature and insider trading. He’s been in federal politics since 1990. He is a puppet of fake realism like the rest of them, absolute garbage
@@chazzthaspazz4475 yeah, hes great. ive read up as have many others. you've been a victim of propaganda.
I think that’s why young people liked him. People eventually get worn down and come to accept the bullshitting and corruption. I mean look at the Trump Biden debate. These are supposed to be our best presidential candidates and they were lying and dodging questions non stop.
Conservative here. This was fantastic. I do not agree with some of the things Bernie suggests we should do, however, to hear him discuss things like his healthcare plan (AND the "why" behind it) with Theo's potentially unintentional humor was extremely educational/helpful. Fox would never give him a platform to at least explain himself without making him look stupid, CNN would not give him a platform to at least explain himself without making those who oppose him look stupid. My respect for Bernie went up a little bit. Hate to say it, but he sounds much more intelligent and level-headed than many of the folks talking on both sides of the aisle right now.
he said biden did a great job and kamala has to win to continue it....i dont think he is in touch with reality to any degree at all to make any level headed points at all when he says something like that
Ultimately you’re being lied to about healthcare. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to many countries with universal healthcare and they think our system is insane. I’ve been confused how Trump is the right’s “outsider” when he’s a billionaire, a billionaire will never be a political outsider, they’ve been playing politics their whole life. One good billionaire has been Cuban who started a pharmacy company that cuts out the middle man and the drugs are so much cheaper.
Bernie, if nothing else, speaks more coherently, sanely, and in a more informative way than Biden and Trump combined. Honestly throw Kamala in there too, he's such a phenomenal speaker
@@fisharepeopletoo9653 Also he's possibly the only one that no one on either side can argue that he doesn't have anything but the good of the people in his heart. There is no underlying desire to become rich, connected and/or powerful. His integrity is undeniable.
@@bryanorvisii3589Your right when I explained the Healthcare system to my French Canadian Son-in -law he look truly baffled,because their Healthcare is free. EVERYONE. They do have to pay a certain cost for prescriptions but nothing like in the U.S.
It’s awesome to see Theo genuinely engaged and asking the right questions mixed with Bernie’s ability to meet people on their level.
Bernie came off as pedantic in this.
@@serenayflamencaim far from a Bernie fan but I had quite the opposite impression. Bernie came across as relaxed and open and he only corrected Theo at moments where the accuracy of the detail was necessary for his point.

@@ngonzales3781Russia
@@serenayflamencawhat? Why? No one with a working brain holds that position.
Yoooooooooo! Theo has Bernie Sanders on and is actually having a mature discussion about social issues with him and its actually a SOLID interview? This is absolutely WILD.
i’m so proud
I didn't know Theo was about transparency in healthcare and healthcare costs. That has been Bernie Sanders' wheelhouse for DECADES. Y'all gotta watch Bernie Sanders' speeches on healthcare in the 1990s!!! Go on C-Span, they're in the archive! Bernie has been consistent on this issue since the beginning!
Interviewers are supposed to be objective. And Theo is possibly the most objective one I’ve ever seen lol
ikr, a nice change of pace from having youtube recommend you JRE with yet another antivaxx nutjob
@@Yerdone92theos great at objectivity because it feels like somehow he is a third party to a conversation he is having with someone lol
The reason Bernie is this articulate at his old age is because he is literally speaking about his life long passion. Truly a man of the people. He wants to radically help as many people as he possibly can and some people hate him for it.
Exactly
Some people only see color, and just cause he's blue they don't trust him or his policies. He's everything the average man could want policy-wise for their country
Also just good genetics. Some people no matter what they do will start declining mentally by 65/70.
Exactly. That’s the reason why Biden’s brain is unravelling it’s nothing but talking points, he doesn’t really feel or care about any of the things he says.
While enriching himself. I don’t think he’s nearly as bad as most of his colleagues, but he’s an elected parasite just like the rest
Im a conservative and never bothered to listen to Bernie basically took what everybody's said about him as gold. After listening to this entire podcast i changed some of my views on him.
He’s a genuine bloke
That’s what happens when you are willing to listen to people outside conservative media.
He’d make a great cabinet member
@@leadwithgreeneconomyVice versa too, it goes both ways
@@will_rr1
Bernie's not trustworthy. He betrayed his own supporters.
He's a good man, but he's also a coward...when his career is on the line, he will do what he did in 2016 to save his career.
It's how he's survived so many decades as an "outsider".
I love how Bernie is acting like a professor not just telling Theo the answers but leading him to find them himself lol
Yeah the realization is an amazing to see in people 😂
Leading one to an outcome is lazy.
No, it helps people to improve their critical thinking@@UA-camsucks15
@@UA-camsucks15it helps them realize what steps they took to get there and maybe understand how others didn’t get there. you apply the knowledge instead of just feeding answers. if anything it’s productive not lazy.

Theo got some good chuckles out of Bernie. He was extremely well behaved though.
I hollered laughing 😂😂😂

It's crazy how much of a better interviewer Theo is now compared to Joe Rogan. This interview was engaging, and I really learned a lot from it.
That's true! Way less ego, dogma, echo chamber, and he's obviously the superior comedian
Imo Joe’s r more serious w ppl like this and this r still a little silly and hey doesn’t dig into certain topics as much w political ppl from what im assuming stems from less knowledge than joe on these things
@@thorstenfuzzi5031agreed not even close theo is so much funnier than joe
Joe Rogan isn’t even funny haven’t ever heard him say something funny on his podcast
@@lonniefisher7365Joe "uhuh that's very interesting, have you heard of DMT?" Rogan
Mf never challenges his guests on anything
We could have had Bernie as president! A genuine, intellingent man who has been serving the public most of his life.
I still say the DNC screwed up the 2016 election. They pushed so hard for Hilliary; I think if they listened to the will of the people, Bernie would have been the candidate and maybe beat Trump.
My favorite Bernie thing is listening stuff from 30-40 years ago and see he was so consistently saying the exact same things. Even for topics that were not mainstream yet like gay marriage.
Always in the right side of history
No you couldn't, and you never deserved Bernie anyway. Maybe you will deserve someone as good or better in the future, but that's up to you.
Paramedic here. I once had a patient who desperately needed to go to an ER but told me “A funeral will cost me less than another medical bill.” That always stuck with me.

Here in Finland. I totaled my car, i have no insurance.. Police arrived, ambulance took me to hospital. xrays and magnet scans.. cast on my arm and some glass removal from my head.. 2 months later a bill arrived in the mail.. I had to pay 50 Dollars.
Still The "Free" americans pay more taxes and premiums/ health insurance than I.

Great job Theo. You led Bernie into his wheelhouse, let him speak and listened intently. Bernie shined but you lit the lamp my dude. Top tier today
Bernie want to ban semi automatic rifles. “Semi automatic” just like your common pistol…… how long till they ban those
The reason I love Bernie Sanders is because less than 10 minutes into the podcast, he’s talking about something fundamentally important to our modern struggle, such as citizens united. He’s straight to the real shit.
Yes and then drifted quickly.
@@elizabethscrivner6891 No he didn't. I'm 24 minutes in and he's still talking about healthcare, a fundamentally important issue for America. What are you on about?
@@elizabethscrivner6891 Elizabeth, I hate to tell you this but conversations generally drift from topic to topic.
@@elizabethscrivner6891 idk what you mean by drifting lmao this man has been on Citizens United and getting money out of politics since the 70s and hasn't so much as 'drifted' since. 50+ years of consistency in his message and goals
The only thing I genuinely cannot get past. He said he ran against the establishment. Then he said trump does his own thing no script. So... Trump is running against the same establishment that kept him out of the primaries. Also its so obvious that the people he supports are in place because of the establishment. So how can he be pro Joe Biden, Kamala etc if he KNOWS they're controlled by the establishment.
This episode has made me a fan of Bernie. Man talks sense and for the people.
He’s the one who got away with
“I wrote the bill, I know the answer”. He’s so good, this was a phenomenal listen
He said this during a debate in 2019. Rep. Tim Ryan tried to argue the contents of a proposed bill, interrupting Sanders by saying, "You don't know that". Sanders replied "I DO know that because I wrote the damn bill" and continued answering the question. Classic.
@@emily4gov imagine if this country had bernie instead of trump....wed prob have healthcare by now
@@JKoooozie Imagine if Bernie exposed how the dems screwed him
@@JKoooozie government funded healthcare doesn't work in countries that allow migrants.

Bernie has been bullied by the system and deserves a lot more credit than he's gotten over the years. Theo does a fantastic job.
Bernie had an opportunity to stand up to the system but bent the knee.
Bernie is a coward.
Yet at the moment of truth Bernie bent the knee to Hillary and endorsed her for president.
No refunds.
Bernie doesn't deserve a damn thing. He's still shilling for the globalist cabal that sidelined him.
You're nuts! Sanders is a wacko
He got the shaft back in '16
Bernie is 100% right on this issue. If you want to run for office, it should not be in the hands of a few billionaires. Let the people decide.
The number one reason people like Trump is because he pisses off so many Democrats
Like the people decided for Kamala Harris?
@@birdland85i’m voting for her so i am a person deciding
The people decided for bernie twice and he got pushed out by billionaire backed clinton and biden
@@daxxleonard2961 why?
Bernie!!! The president we always needed and will never have. I can't believe we used to think he was too old. I literally want to cry. Bernie you deserve everything. Thank you so much!
Never listened to Bernie Sanders through a whole interview before, realized he is not who the mainstream media has made him out to be. I also realized Theo Von is the best thing to happen to media and everyone should be listening to these podcasts.
theo did a great job letting this guy show how rational he actually is
Literally sitting down to listen to him now for a very similar reason. Though in my case, my lens is colored by what Styxhexenhammer has said about Sanders and not the MSM. But still, it's always better to hear from the horse's mouth than from a game of telephone.
nah fr i hate mainstream media. i was always told bernie was this radical communist but he seems very objective and reasonable here
"Socialism Evil Bernie is Scary"
The government is a form of Socialism if it works for the ppl. Schools, roads, etc... He was our guy and the DNC stole the nomination. It's whatever at this point but I think our country would be in a much better place if they hadn't.
I agree. Interviews Bernie and trump in the same week and I loved both Interviews.
Dude the guest list is undisputed. Incredible.
Agreed, Theo is such a legend it's amazing all the guests and podcasts he puts out.
What r u talking about? Garuntee you've left this exact comment many times. All his past 20 guests are boring as f. I enjoyed the mall cop ep, and Tommy Lee, THATS IT.
Yep. Theo is the best out there right now. The only one who talks to all sides, with respect and humor.
@@jordanjae tommy lees episode was zzzzzzzzzzz
No offense Rogan, but if Theo wasn’t such a good standup, he’d be right up there with his podcast if he’s already not
Man’s a year older than the current president and as mentally intact as he was 30 years ago.
@@chancebrown106 so sad what the party did to Bernie in 2016 and what Obama did to him in 2020. He would have made one of the best presidents this country has seen
@@parsnipproductions8875He would have completely destroyed the US with insane economic policies.
He seems like a decent enough guy but this is a guy who would turn the US into Venezuela.
I truly believe our country would be in a very different place if he had taken the place of Obama/Biden
@@parsnipproductions8875 It's the same story as Ron Paul in the republican party. The republicans tried like hell to do the same thing to Trump, but he broke through. His treatment by the media and the 2 party system was and is totally expected.
That's not saying much. (((He's))) also a thief.
I find it amazing that Bernie Sanders is painted as a radical character. He's just a sensible, peagmatic person on the side of the everyday person.
What's really interesting is seeing Theo rationalising his thinking, and accepting alternative ideas without being defensive or partisan, and specifically he is absolutely willing to make himself look dumb (he is most definitely not), but he isn't afraid of saying he doesn't understand something and asking a "daft lad" question. We should all be a bit more like this.
Great interview.
Agreed, this is absolutely one of Theo's most admirable superpowers: being unafraid to look uninformed. He asks wonderful questions and actually opens his mind to accept an answer he does not expect.
He is using the mind of a child technique - we all need to do more of this
I find it so fascinating that so many people think that Theo is smart. He is obviously dumb. Be he makes the most out of it, and it is exactly what makes his interviews so interesting. Because he asks the dumb questions; often questions nobody would even think about, and that brings the conversations to unique and interesting places.
@@9xqspx6 yes that’s how it works - dumb people ask smart questions. He might not be knowledgeable but the questions he asks and the way he listens and joins ideas with each other is very intelligent.
@@samanjj We half-agree. I agree that he asks good questions. But I think he does so because he is both simple and honest, not because he is intelligent. But the result (good questions) is what's important. I just find it fascinating (and a bit scary) that people think he is so very smart and intelligent.
I love the way Bernie didn’t outright answer all of theos questions, he directed him to find the answers himself so it bolsters his understanding of the topic
Because Bernie has no awnsers.
Stupidity from Emptiness
@@JamesBurdon-gu5yu Yep!
@@JamesBurdon-gu5yu I’m Canadian. Every day I’m more shocked at how dumb you guys are lol
@@JamesBurdon-gu5yu 👍👍He's a WOLF in sheep's clothing !!!

Same here
Yup, shame this guy isn’t running
i’m kind of looking forward to seeing trumps because i think it will be interesting to see what side theo brings out of him! but i can’t imagine him being able to articulate like bernie can, BS is just so informed and concise in his views. maybe DT will surprise me though! it’s cool theo can interview all types of people without judgment
@@iwishihadafather it was very good, went real far to show trump’s humanity. Trump is still trump, he’s not as personable as Bernie, but he’s not what the media wants him to be, not yet anyway, eventually he might start believing he is who the media projects. Theo got him talking about the pharma too, great conversation.
Just like punks were not true anarchists.
I love how hard Bernie laughed after Theo said “Kid Rock is one of his advisors”.
Crushed 😂
That made me laugh so hard with them lol
Timestamp lol
bruh, Kid Rock if he see's that he will genuinely be pissed off, Steve o did a video and mentioned him then years later Kid Rock remembered what Steve o said about him, kid rock deserves it hahahahaha
@@AlbPerNil Yeah hahaha he deserves it for having different opinions
Bernie is the only politician who answers questions and has an answer for everything with oure honesty!
As a Norwegian, I don't understand why Sanders political views are perceived as radical. In Norway he would have been a center politician.
Amerikanere sitter fast på 60 tallet, alt er kommunistisk i øynene deres
we have big money in the states lobbying and propagandizing people into insane takes like helping people not die is demon worship. America has gone insane
They used to be common sense in america too. The overton window has shifted so far right in recent decades that now things like preventing corporations from price gouging or lowering the cost of drugs is considered full communism
From Denmark; the same. None of this is radical.
@@Helge891 Stop don't touch me there.
This is my no-no square. Lol
The American diet and recommended medical treatment is far different than any other civilized nation.

*Bernie Sanders sits down, says hello*
Theo - "I had intimacy disorders."

Don’t be a nut job. Please.
Who the fuck starts a conversation like that ? he just sat down
omg. read this before I hit it...hilarious and classic Theo, I can't wait.
@Txalcoir😊😊
Dude, I'm not even American, but you need to talk to these types of people a lot more, and for a lot longer. You're the perfect person to ask the right questions and you're very personable. Great podcast.
Agree. Grew up in Canada and now a United States citizen. Theo is a gem.
Bernie is an idiot. with few good view points. THIS IS AMERICA YOU OBV WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND
Same amount of from the middle east kurdistan
He definitely is. Canadian here and I couldn’t agree more. Excellent Podcast (and tbh if you would have asked me 3 years ago if Theo was interviewing Politicians I would have laughed). Just a refreshing interview with no agenda but to gain knowledge. 😊😊😊
I gotta fess up. I kind of thought Theo was kind of a dope, but this interview was fantastic. I had you pegged wrong Mr. Von.
This man should be a retired president by now
We failed him. We failed our country not electing him.
@@illrated presidents are selected not elected
I voted for him twice. He's a great man.
Democrat party no longer has any semblance of a democratic system and they attempt to kill their only opponent to establish a 1 party dictatorship. So yeah, we all see why they chose corrupt Hillary and Lying Biden instead. Party of corruption and evil.
@@ShellBAtomsSo did I. A lot of us tried. We need to have hope for the future ✊
When Bernie said the stress is what kills us faster.. it hit me right in the heart. At 19 during the pandemic I got discharged from the hospital after a su*cide attempt. I went back home with a bill of $9,000. I remember looking at it and crying, and just wishing the paramedics didn't find me. I still live every day having no idea how I'll dig myself out of this hole. This country needs change.
As a European, this is so crazy, that it is hard to believe. This is what I pay as a worker for 2 years of health insurance which covers everything imaginable. When I am jobless, I have the exact same insurance, but I pay nothing.
I'm so glad they found you, but I wish things were better for you leading up to what had happened. That is truly heartbreaking. It's like we are being punished for having mental illness or needing help, which discourages people from getting any help at all.
Don't pay a single red cent. I had an appendectomy around 2022 and it was 10k. I never paid anything at all. Eventually they'll stop sending bills. I never had to worry about a credit score because I never needed anything financed anyway. If you have money it can be a real problem though, but then you're likely to be able to pay it.
@@LukeMcGuireoides I don't see this is a good solution for young people that have a long colorful before them. When you are 80, yes, you can ignore your credit score. But imagine you want to study or finance a house in your mid life.
@@tiefensucht well, many people don't have a choice. It's either live in the now or become homeless trying to pay thousands in medical bills. Move in with your folks and pay it, if you have the option.
This one of the most powerful and important interviews in all my 53 years. Much Gratitude Theo and Bernie!
One of the best interviews with Bernie I've ever seen. This goes to show that the measure of a good interviewer isn't their expertise, finesse, or paycheck, but their ability to genuinely engage with a topic and a person. And the result spoke for itself. I saw Bernie laugh more genuinely and more frequently in these sixty minutes than I've seen anywhere in a decade and a half of casually following his career. I wish I had half the courage Theo does to get in front of a camera and not pretend to have it all figured out. Our two main parties seem to feel that either owning the other or shaming/embarrassing the other is what will achieve their goals and get people to see the light. If sorting out our national psychosis is really something they want to do, they could take a page from Theo's modest playbook.
My mom had cancer and her biggest stressor was not the cancer itself but her $20,000 chemo bills every 2 weeks. It’s ridiculous. She was fighting for her life and she couldn’t even worry about it bc the medical bills were killing her faster.
Bernie should've been our president, or at least the Democrat nominee in 2020. But instead, Biden pushed him out and in return, offered him a cabinet position. Murrica.
Agreed it’s way too high go ask Canadians abt there healthcare system there’s plenty in the comments. Good chance your mother would have been on a waiting list there and not got the treatment she needed. Always two sides to a story. Dealt with it in our family aswell and it’s awful and expensive but his solutions sound great but not realistic.

What a phenomenal podcast. Senator Bernie Sanders is just an all around great guy. Really enjoyed this.
Dude’s been a teacher, psychiatric aide, carpenter, among several other jobs. He grew up lower class in Brooklyn, where he was part of his school fundraisers for Korean war orphans and others in the area while in high school. Joined many anti-segregation events as a member of the Congress of Racial Equality in college and fought for the civil rights movement. The protests that he organized, led, and was part of are directly responsible for the University of Chicago ending student segregation. He was AT MLK’s “I have a dream” speech in Washington, later that summer he was fined for resisting arrest at a Chicago demonstration against public school segregation. This is all still in college.
He has been staunchly anti-war going back to pre-Vietnam. Despite this, he hs always pushed for increased veterans’ protections and rights to benefits. He has been fighting for the same basic rights of equality, healthcare, and education for longer than all of you have been alive. Probably before many of your parents were alive. And he’s never been afraid to walk across the aisle and pass bipartisan bills when agreements can be reached.
Idgaf what jobs he’s had, because he’s been doing everything in his power to fight for those in need since literal childhood. Far more than anyone could ever say about any other politician, and 99.99% of civilians, in this entire country.
It isn’t hard to educate yoursef when you have a brain. You might not agree with all the specifics of his policies-I don’t-but to call him anything but a good, caring leader is straight-up willful ignorance. I feel bad for you. My heart honestly breaks to see so many young people, old people, hating on the man that has tried harder than any other politician to give you a good life. It’s pathetic.
@@SnailHatan he’s never worked a day in his life. Couch surfed then got on government dole at 40 in Burlington. Owns three homes and worth millions of bribes and govt and decries people whom actually make things and give people jobs.
What's pathetic is him making millions off the backs of his constituents and tax payers. He owns 4 mansions. 2 of them on low land beaches where he claims "climate change" will devour land if we don't do something. He's nothing but a lair and a corrupt scumbag. He's absolutely one of the very people he's whining about on here. Total hypocrite. And you're pathetic for believing his garbage.
I don’t like him
I noticed you didn’t list any accomplishments. Like what has he done…he held a sign in the 60s meh pretty mediocre. Nixon signed the clean water act, and marine mammal protection act and formed the EPA. Nobody praises him
@@ZzzinnnI think I found the willful ignorance 😭
What a fucking genuine conversation. How could you dislike either of these men? True patriots, the both of them. I mean, it's clear they both care deeply about the health of their country.
Bernie is 100% disingenuous. He knows he's lying about healthcare. In Canada it's terrible. And no one else innovate because there is no profit motive. We innovate and invent virtually everything. ua-cam.com/video/SNjIsZVY9sk/v-deo.htmlsi=zZwjemhhKcAPV8CG
I lost much of the respect that I had for Bernie after he showed he refuses to stand against the party that literally sabotaged him.
They are all including Tulsi a bunch of high school popularity obsessed followers, they could have teamed up and ran together but nope both endorse Biden.
Bernie is in his echo chamber and caught trump derangement syndrome like the rest of the dems while ignoring that our freedom of speech and our democracy is being taken at every turn.
Young Bernie would not have respect for this version either.
If Bernie really cared, he would have NEVER endorsed the DNC after they screwed us all out of universal healthcare. He gave in to the party that never wanted him- he broke a lot of American hearts and optimism
yeah bernie the patriot lol. you and people like yourself hate what this country was supposed to be and ruined it making it a globalist tool.
Dude is 83 yrs old in one month's time and sharp as ever.
Exactly He is massively rich, he is his own example.
@@FunkyPhunk I feel like this is your 'gotcha' statement. If you're calling Bernie "massively rich" then you must agree that every senator and governor is 'massively rich'
How rich is he ?
@@tomyvincent85 Not rich at all really, likely that dude is just mad at the world and dirt poor.
Sharp as ever
I think it’s incredible. How well Theo did in the interview! It really gets to show his maturity and ablest to actually listen to someone and hear their point of view agree or disagree and actually not just have a one-sided conversation!❤ big ups Theo gang!
Bernie is older than most politicians (82- almost 83), yet he’s far wiser, well-spoken, and caring than most. Even if he doesn’t become president, he definitely has already left and continues to leave a lasting impact. It’s not what he’s done, it’s who he is 💯
100% true. He also inspires other countries as well.
To be fair, it is also what he’s done.
If by "caring", you mean throwing other people's hard-earned money around, then yes.
@@Ryan-hs3ft hard earned from who the other masses who are buying your product. Or by seating at desks pencil pushing on people who profit from underpaid or understaffed masses. I actually like capitalism but man people like you makes me turn more and more toward socialism.
@@Ryan-hs3ft”hard-earned” as in having a big investment portfolio literally making money off of other people’s money or becoming the CEO and committing wage theft against your employees? Yeah right. Dude unless you’re making millions of dollars he’s not after your money.
When Theo talked about how America just feels like a big shell company, my jaw hit the floor. Societal pride and purpose is eroding in America. An entire nation of people being trampled to death by huge mega corporations trying to extract as much money as possible from our economy.
Theo was so on point with this. I got teary as the words were coming out of his mouth.
I've been a JRE listener for years but I think Joe's best days of podcasting are behind him. I'm switching camps. This feels so much more in touch and visceral.
I hope Theo's audience continues to grow. He's paying much more attention than I thought he was and he's phenomenal at articulating some major pain points he sees in our country.
Right now the future does look bleak here, and I only have a sliver of hope left that the United States of America can be salvaged.
I also liked when he pointed out it feels like "privatized communism," which is right on point with what's going on. It's socialism for the rich and ruthless capitalism for everyone else.
@@taylorpilewski
Couldn't agree more,pride in our nation is all but gone completely.
Which is totally understandable all things considered.
I too am left with little hope not just for America but for the entire globe and humanity as a whole.
Edit- Oh and I had to add that I've never been a fan of the Joe Rogan show, Theo's however just has so much more substance and he blows Joe out of the water as an interviewer.
He's been at the bottom of the pile, he understands the struggle.
@@scratchpennyprivatized gain, socialized losses.
It's called corporatism, and it was one of the key foundations of fascist politics in the 20th century in Spain, Italy, and Germany.
Theo is still a man of the people
It doesn’t matter what political views you hold, you have to respect how much Bernie cares
@@vaultboy4710that never happened lmao use google.
@@vaultboy4710 you don't get paid for your work?
@vaultboy4710 He owns 3 moderately sized homes. Which is pretty normal for someone of his age since they came up in the greatest era of economic growth for the middle class in the history of the country. And the vast majority of Bernies wealth came from his book. Compare his net worth to any establishment politician and youll find it is much lower
American voters' ideologies can be put in two groups. People who agree with Bernie Sanders and people who don't know what they're talking about. He's right about healthcare, money in politics, how to help struggling people, how to improve the lives of the working class, how the top 1% have too much money and power etc.
You can disagree on the minute details on how to fix these things but Bernie is 100% correct that these are massive issues that need to be fixed.
@wrathofcorn people who agree with Bernie about our basic rights, then there's the cucks/bootlickers for billionaires.
Theo, youre amazing for bringing two very different political leaders the platform to talk about issues they are passionate about and asking deep thought provoking questions and being a listening ear… i love you
And i absolutely love Bernie Sanders
Straight up honest and decent human. I admire Bernie and Theo for having this conversation.
The people writing off this conversation almost certainly didn’t listen. Anyone in the middle or lower classes NEEDS most of what Bernie represents. Mad respect to Theo for bringing on a diverse group of guests and having real conversations
How can you write this off? I have never seen theo before in podcast form, he seems like “just some dude”. But he genuinely asked some of the best questions ive seen.
Most? What is Bernie’s net worth? The medical industry is a great vulnerable topic to sell everyone on but look at everything else closely.
@@ghosted6422just shut up yall are fucking annoying as shit
@@ghosted6422how low would his net worth be for you to agree with what he’s saying? Don’t his arguments hold more weight knowing he is wealthy? Trying to understand how you believe his net worth is a liability. Thx
@@ghosted6422 what's the net worth of Blue Cross Blue Shield's CEO? Aetnas? Pfizer's? How much money are they making keeping people sick and denying them care? Why are you worried about Bernie's?
Ain't no way Theo Von got Bernie Sanders 💀💀💀 this is insane haha so happy for Theo
Bernie does anything for the right amount!

@@HenritheHorse Bernie is a good man don't slander him like that. Unlike most politicians its not about the money for him.
I really appreciate how Bernie Sanders is teaching Theo. Not in a condescending way . Just really wants him to understand the points he’s making. Very good interview and discussion
I will never not fuck with Bernie sanders that man is the only politician in my short life whoever made me feel like someone in power actually cares about the people suffering and doing the job to make everyone’s life better even people who disagree with his policies the only complaint is ever the price but no one can deny that it would benefit people. He’s forever golden in my heart
Trump cares too

Lmao name a bill that Bernie Sanders has authored that passed
In 2016 and 2020 I voted for Bernie, and as country we dropped the ball, we had a chance to have this man as our president. He really is for the people
He’s so for the people he’s still affiliated with the democrat party. Give me a friggin break. Only thing the democrat party wants is more power over the electorate. So they just immigrate more in paid by us tax payers.
😞
Bernie is a coward. He bent the knee to the establishment. Like a good little boy he got in line. President Trump however didn't and had to knock out 16 establishment Republicans. Bernie is a fraud.
He woulda beat trump in 2016
I’m not a Bernie fan or a democrat. With that said, I very much enjoyed this conversation! It was so refreshing to listen to and absorb the thoughts and ideas of this conversation. Well done to all involved. And, thank you Senator Sanders for being willing to sit down with a normal dude, and speak candidly about a wide range of topic’s.
Why are you not a Bernie fan. What did he say here that you disagreed with? Do you think billionaires should be able to endlessly donate? You think insurance companies should keep scamming the US population?
I just don't by people who oppose bernies politics. Like what in the world do you disagree with about his politics aside from the Communinst socialist bullshit that conservative media muddies the water with?
This is the pathway to less polarization👏🏻
Same over here! My parents demonized him for me when he was running for president, so I hated him, but after having blocked my parents and getting to form my own opinions, I may not agree with him 100%, but he makes a lot of great points. I really appreciated this interview cause when politics interfere with interviews, politicians come at each other's throats, and then everyone looks bad. This was really humanizing.
It's wild to see interviews with people that are miles apart on the US political spectrum, yet they're both treated with the same great respect. The interviewees treated Theo with great respect, too. This is what I want to see more of. I don't have to agree with a politician's platform to be willing to give them a chance to speak. Trump and Sanders both took cutesy little digs at other politicians, but there was no vitriol. I love it. Thanks, Theo!
@@the_italianwannabeRegarding healthcare, he is just right. The opposition is motivated by profits, including the politicians who are all bought. Bernie's motivation is seeing people have better healthcare coverage at a reasonable price.
This is interesting and even somewhat educational. It’s nice to hear two people discuss topics without any pressure or expectation.
As a young nurse in this country struggling to get up and go to work everyday, thank you. Truly, thank you.
You would get paid a lot less if we had universal healthcare. Canada doesn’t pay the medical field as good the reason it’s free but not good healthcare. I agree nurses should get paid way more they do 90% of the work. There’s a reason he’s never got any traction on his fascist views.
@@thomasford9204 I am certainly not interested in a debate, but from about 30seconds of googling it seems your facts are just not true. Depending on the source, in Canada RNs make either about the same or about 2-5% less than one of similar specialty and experience here in the US. I don't know about you, but I would gladly take a 2-5% pay cut if it meant that myself, my aging grandparents, special needs family members, etc have access to the medications and treatments that will improve and extend their life without having to weigh the burden of financial ruin. Said with all due respect, Tom.

He’s just a guy with a platform. Lots of people could. I’m not even dismissing Theo here. He’s great here, but not so great that literally no other person could do these things.
Theo has reached a level of authenticity where he can have a productive conversation with anyone
I think maturity is the word as well. I think he is what Joe Rogan thinks he is which is this "Guy dosen't know much but genuinely wants to learn" persona.
Bernie Sanders is a very normal dude haha
@@bigbanshi7903 Seriously he's not saying crazy stuff here
@@bigbanshi7903 I was sharing an observation that Theo has the ability to effectively communicate with a wide range of guests. Bernie shares that quality, but the point of the comment I made was about Theo’s versatility in interviewing. Let’s keep things on track
Especially in the Baja
weirdly good interview. Like watching an eager student go to office hours with a very knowledgeable professor lol
I'm really proud of Theo for keeping up with Bernie and asking great questions.
Theo, real talk, this is one of the best political interviews I've ever heard. Your curiosity and passion is beautiful. Please keep being you.
Call me a socialist, a socialite, a social networker, socially awkward whatever you want but Bernie is my guy. From the 1960s to 2024 our boy has been consistently on message. Fucking straight up for the people. He is a goddamn unicorn.
Bernie is delusional who leaves out lots of facts and can't back anything up. Him calling trump a liar but feels the rest are honest is plan NUTS. He is just as dirty as the rest
I respect tf out of that I really do, I completely disagree with his message, but I do respect his loyalty
@@BlueRazzleDazzle Loyalty of being a complete fraud
@@noelswo549 right, thats loyalty to the socialists. I never said he was a good guy, but he's stuck with his message the whole time
@BlueRazzleDazzle He's not a real socialist. He is just a fraud. He's worth millions. He houses no illegal immigrants and doesn't pay higher taxes. Every heard of lead by example. He doesn't do crap. He's play the game, and people fall for it. He is a grifter.
First time seeing this show and truly the first time watching Bernie Sanders get a respectable interview. I appreciated this. From both Theo’s professionalism and Bernie Sanders transparency.
bernie has such professor energy. you can tell he was really intent on not just talking at theo, but making sure he was understanding and arriving at the main points himself. this poor man has been fighting the good fight for decades. i know he’s tired 😫

@@frankzappa9148 yeah i can’t say i agree with his most recent stances, but at this point in u.s. politics i’ll take what i can get
Poor? Lmao
28 minutes in and can’t keep it together cause man when Theo said “ sometimes I wanna take my own life and I’m not even sick” it hit so damn hard this man is so humble and can still manage to hit a nerve and connect with someone who walks back and forth to a minimum wage job daily who has a 6 year old son who is in debt with so much at the age of 23 I struggle to find the drive daily but continue to make it happen and appreciate you always remembering where you come from you will never not have THE PEOPLE.
Stay strong my dude. We struggle, we all congregate to Theo’s pod to make some sense of it. Sometimes all we need is to know we’re not alone in this chaos.
Keep going and keep doing the awesome work of maintaining a job and taking care of your child. When you’re stressed, try to think of a couple good things in your life to be grateful for. Your days will get better, you just have to keep going to see those better days.

Thank you so much for having Bernie on. This episode is a way that a lot of new voters can learn about the political reality that we live in now.
Only if they learn that ALL politicians are evil scum and they stop supporting them. Anything short of that and they're still sleeping.
I hope people who weren't fans of Bernie will watch this and get on board

Its hard to believe he is older than biden lol.
I love how personable and articulate Bernie is in this!
Every single interview with him, he breaks down difficult ideas and issues, making them accessible to everyday people in plain language. A truly gifted politician and speaker.
Bernie and Trump are more aligned on the most crucial topics than Bernie is with the Democrat party, the party that blatantly (and probably unconstitutionally) screwed him out of the Presidential nomination not once, BUT TWICE!! And Bernie still throws his support behind them, we all need to swallow our pride (Trump voters included) and come together to compromise on critical issues that actually directly affect our health and safety. RFK did it and was welcomed with love and respect. People just want happiness, health, and success for our nation.
My heart aches at the thought that this man will never be president. Imagine what this country would be if we had people like Bernie in office for the next 10-15 years to come. A true man of the people ❤
Broke busted and heading for collapse, like every country people like Bernie have been in charge of

@@chingronPublic sentiment seems to be largely positive, so I'm not sure where you picked up that everyone figured out that he's a fraud.

Thanks in advance for the information and sources!
This was awesome! Thank you, Bernie. You opened my eyes nine years ago. As always, it should have been you as our president. Thank you for still fighting for us. Theo, thank you for this. May we all be moved to push this country forward.
You can slowly watch Bernie become more and more comfortable as Theo proves to him that he’s not just some absent minded podcaster. I think that Theo genuinely impressed Bernie with his questions and allowed for a much more in depth conversation on topics that Bernie is both familiar with and passionate about. I love this. ❤
Theo is probably the most open minded person in podcasting, I love how open he is to listening and learning new things. A lot of us would be much better humans if we took a page from Theo!
Theo is really amazing
Well said
Beautiful that he meets that mark
I’m a Canadian nurse. When I was a student, my preceptor was a nurse who immigrated from the USA. Her primary motivation to move was that she was disgusted with having to bill patients for every med, bandaid, ice pack, inch of tape, etc. when her patients just needed compassion and care. If they weren’t approved by insurance, life saving measures were denied when they were readily available. Healthcare should be a human right in every country.
Well that was a waste of immigration. She should be mad at the insurance companies, not the hospitals. Institutions like CMS are the ones that drive the APC, ASC, DRG, etc., and the facilities and providers have no choice but to keep up in order to stay competitive and afloat. This all comes back to the insurance companies over inflating the basis of supplies and services yearly.
@@sdm1568 The point is that this system doesn't exist except in the US.

@@tprevite what point are u trying to make? that in a single payer system nurses don't get paid? hopefully I misunderstood and ur not that unintelligent.
@@Baseball427It’s not unintelligent to think nurses are ONLY paid in the USA, it’s ignorance. Ignorance because that person has probably been led to believe this from bad media.

This is podcasting at its best, unexpected compatibility. Theo is the perfect pairing for Bernie and this is a beautiful much needed discussion. Bravo… 👏❤

I fought cancer in my 20’s. Now I’m in my 30’s running 2 business’s 7 days a week just to try and pay off all the medical debt. It’s destroyed my hopes of buying a home.

I'm currently battling with cancer, next week starts my final round of chemo, and my god are the bills tall.
I'm terrified I won't be able to pay them for 20 years. I get so jealous of other countries Healthcare systems.
I am so sorry and disgusted to hear what you are going through, which is affecting 90 % of Americans. I could not afford insurance through my job which pays crap so thank you President Obama for the marketplace. However that needs to be cleaned up.

If my taxes went up a bit but I got to go to the doctor and not get a bill, I wouldn’t complain at all. Especially if somebody less fortunate than me can actually go get their treatment and not die on the street like a dog. If my paycheck is a little less, but I know that it’s because we’re all contributing to make sure our fellow people are okay, sign me up.
Better yet reallocate what we spend on bombs and other countries instead so our taxes stay the same
completely agree as a country we are a community it's shameful we are willing to let our fellow Americans suffer horrible diseases without treatment so the insurance companies can rake in billions in profits it's just not right
also and under Bernie plan we'd be paying on avg half as much no premiums or deductibles
You'd also be able to switch jobs without worrying about lossing medical care. You could go camping/mountain biking/mudding without worrying about getting hurt an a massive bill.
@@Superwoodputtie exactly but some people are so brainwashed to serve the corporations, the really depressing thing is the vast majority of Americans want this system and our politicians ignore the will of the people in favor of corporate greed
We also wouldn't have to pay for insurance, which would take a little off the bills
I have to admit I was not expecting this to be as quality of an interview as it was. Well done.
