      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    • @sdm1568

      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.
