- Bernie Sanders didn't make it to the White House, but he did manage to steal some of the limelight at Jo Biden's inauguration - not with a suitably radical placard, but with a pair of oversize hand-knitted mittens, which led to some hilarious memes.
Following the release of his new book entitled "It's ok to be angry about capitalism”, Newsnight’s Kirsty Wark asked Bernie Sanders if Joe Biden is really the best person to beat Donald Trump.

What's really interested me in the media around Bernie's book is the very stark difference between British and American interviewers in the main news outlets. In America, politicians will give interviews in safe spaces, where they are assured of softball questions and a sympathetic audience (Republicans = Fox, Newsmax; Democrats = CNN, MSNBC). This results, amongst other things, in mutual back slapping, echo chamber perpetuation, and targeted anger towards outgroups. In the UK, the main outlets favour a 'devil's advocate' approach, where the interviewer will generally take up the opposite view, whatever that might be. You can see it in this interview, but also in the ones Bernie gives to Sky and others, where he is offered the opposing stance, or a challenge, and invited to respond. Some American personalities really struggle with this, like Ben Shapiro's trainwreck interview with Andrew Neil (you can find it on UA-cam). Shapiro just couldn't fathom that Neil, who is actually a card-carrying conservative, would be taking up the anti-conservative position, and basically calls him a liberal shill! Just different interview styles, but I certainly prefer the British way because it constantly keeps the alternate viewpoint in mind.
All television news in the UK is obliged to be balanced. Most networks have decided that the easiest way to do this is to take a adversarial approach in all interviews they do. It isn't perfect but i think having one section of media obliged to provide balance generally leads to people having a better media diet.
Good point. Should be noted that Bernie really focuses on one issue, economics and with that taxes. He doesn't really want to take a stand on culture issues which is where Trump and DeSantis win. (Incredibly, the latter is being touted as a great administrator for how he runs Florida. My bet is that if Republicans nominate him, he wins the election). Notice she tried to drag Bernie into the 2d Amend. question which truthfully, no one is or can take away your guns with that Amendment. It mostly is a non-issue.
Bernie is right in that the tax structure in the US needs to change. People should read Pro Publica which demonstrated how rich people fund their lifestyle, they take out a loan, sometimes from themselves, then claim the total amount as a business expense. That is ridiculous. That would be like me a an ordinary person taking a 2d loan on my home to pay for my groceries, eating at restaurants, entertainment, and then calling the whole thing a business expense and deducting it on my taxes. The rich get away with it because the IRS doesn't have the resources to go after rich who will wear them down in court probably for decades. The average American doesn't have THAT luxury. But basically that is what it is like.
because the british media have no stake in american politics
Exactly what I’m thinking
I think this is true for some news outlets in the US, though it's more common to politely "sandwich" opposing points than come right out playing the role of devil's advocate which we see in the UK.
You will see the sandwich method on NPR, but less so with Anderson Cooper or Rachel Maddow where interviewees are drilled pretty relentlessly on the prevailing agenda. Still, it's pretty vanilla and reactionary at times.
We also have news shows that will invite a guest on as well as their direct opponent, and they are expected to duke out their differences, with the host playing the role of moderator and drama distiller. Quite naturally chaos ensues though, but sometimes we get a glimpse of true colors and what a politician dares to say in the pressure-cooker of buggy live-feed interviewing.
It's just disappointing that those particular interviews often lead to more unresolved conflict, and they don't last long before the host says, "Well, thank you for joining us today. We'll be right back with something completely unrelated that will regain your faith in humanity after all this" again demonstrating the overarching nonsense sandwich method we see consistently in the US.
This man says it like it is, when is America going to give someone who will exact real change a chance? Love Bernie Sanders, from UK 🫖
"To put it quite clearly: we have an economic program. Point 13 in that program demands the nationalization of all public companies, in other words socialization, or what is known here as socialism. … the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the State should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State; it is his duty not to misuse his possessions to the detriment of the State or the interests of his fellow countrymen. That is the overriding point. The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners. If you say that the bourgeoisie is tearing its hair over the question of private property, that does not affect me in the least. Does the bourgeoisie expect some consideration from me? Today’s bourgeoisie is rotten to the core; it has no ideals anymore; all it wants to do is earn money and so it does me what damage it can. The bourgeois press does me damage too and would like to consign me and my movement to the devil.” - Adolph Hitler, May 4, 1931, interview with Richard Breiting.
“Socialism is the science of dealing with the common wealth. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists. Socialism is an ancient Aryan, Germanic institution. Our German ancestors held certain lands in common. They cultivated the idea of the common wealth. Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic. We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party. We chose to call ourselves the National Socialists. We are not internationalists. Our socialism is national.” - Adolph Hitler, 1923, Interview with George Sylvester Viereck.
"Because it seems inseparable from the social idea and we do not believe that there could ever exist a state with lasting inner health if it is not built on internal social justice, and so we have joined forces with this knowledge.” - Adolph Hitler, August 15, 1920, speech in Munich at the Hofbräuhaus.
"Capitalism as a whole will now be destroyed, the whole people will now be free. We are not fighting Jewish or Christian capitalism, we are fighting every capitalism: we are making the people completely free."
Adolf Hitler
“We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.”
- Adolph Hitler.
"I have learned a great deal from Marxism as I do not hesitate to admit… The difference between them and myself is that I have really put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun. The whole of National Socialism is based on it… National Socialism is what Marxism might have been if it could have broken its absurd and artificial ties with a democratic order." - Adolph Hitler
Bernie Sanders says it like it is? Are you out of your mind? Bernie is absent on every major issues US citizens support. From $15 min wage to universal healthcare. Bernie is a cog in the wheel and nothing more, so STFU.
@@blackwaterfinance-ft9vz you're a GD blowhard. This really isn't the place for a history lesson. Regulating corporations is not state control and/or 'socialism'. You're parsing your words too close to the bone.
When genetic engineering raises the average IQ enough to rid us of people who think "Hitler said 'socialist', Bernie said 'socialist', therefore Bernie is Hitler" is an intelligent argument.
What a missed chance not to have Bernie as president.
Thank God for small favors there. A old deadbeat communist no thanks
@@brianjohnson6053 I don't understand why people, in this case you, throw around the term communism when it doesn't apply. Bernie doesn't subscribe to an abolition of ownership of property. In a multitude of interviews he's described himself as a social democrat. He's quite clear about raising taxes on the ultra-rich/billionaires, but that's it. Otherwise he's reformed banking, created background checks for firearms, opposed government spying on its own citizens (Patriot Act) and been against Middle East conflicts. One thing he certainly is not is a deadbeat. He fights for the rights and respect of his constituents - I see nothing feckless or disreputable about that.
He was too much of a threat to established wealth.
I'm a Yank who campaigned for Bernie and voted for him in the primaries in 2016 and 2020.
We Yanks appreciate our Limey allies.
He's too communistic
I love how he just blatantly corrects her for not thinking she had a copy of a Forrest Gump meme at 5:27

Julian Valiant, I respect your right to have that opinion and praise for Bernie Sanders and I don’t want to insult you buddy but in my opinion the Bern is a money grubbing capitalist pig pretending to be a socialist. You do know Hillary Rodham bribed Bernie to drop out of the 2016 democrat POTUS primary race right? I bet you didn’t even know that the Rodham campaign payed off Bernies house note to get him to quit the race. He doesn’t have a genuine bone in his old crusty body.

well morons come in a lot of forms.

Not exactly. People did vote for him. In very high number. The DNC made sure he didn’t win despite this fact.
The Democratic Party powers at be chose Hillary instead.
He's nothing but a turd.. problem is that there's also another turd squatting in the Whitehouse now .. either way the country gets flushed down the toilet.. question is based on Bernie and Joe how many times do need to flush ?

I voted for him in 2016 and in 2020
We did. The Democratic Party heads ensured he wouldn't win, because he's a threat to the mega-corporations that own the party.

@@brianjohnson6053 go away
The middle class don't stand a chance
If only Biden could speak like that. Its so hard to get through Biden speeches but Bernie knows how to articulate and communicate so clearly
Thought the stunt Biden pulled during the State of Union address was classic! Called out a few of the Republicans (many news stories on them since Biden highlighted it) and made sure that such proposals were never taken seriously again. (Did you see the video of Scott from Florida pitching that idea to a group of retired seniors in his state and none of them objected! OMG!!!! My 93 y.o. father in Wisconsin who never graduated HS and worked in a factory all his life immediately recognized it and so when Biden talked about it, it wasn't news to him.)
You must not have heard any of Biden's speeches. Or you have a questionable agenda. Perhaps you prefer republican word salad and lies to the point that you just don't know a good speech when it's in front of you.
@@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134 I have heard many of bidens speeches and within the last 4 years or so they have gotten worse and worse. I highly doubt the man could give an interview without notes.
1. I know he isn't that young but something everyone knows is that presidency takes a lot out of a person. Compare pictures of Obama or trump before and after you can see a considerable difference. However, they still sound basically the same but please take a second to watch videos of biden in 2019 or 18 and now and there is a big difference
2. Biden is old, like really old. I know people his age gaff from time to time but honestly it's harder and harder for people to ignore. More and more dems within gen z and millennials want someone else but nobody within the party has the ability to win the hearts of others like Obama did. At least when Obama gave his most recent speech at the White House it sounded basically the same but still much better than biden. Granted Obama is younger than biden but still.
3. The only reason people voted for biden is because they thought they were getting something that was like the Obama era and because a lot of people hate trump aside from that there is nothing special about him. At least bernie looks like he can be a president at 81 but biden looks like he should be in a care home.
@@rabbit251 OMG man I laughed so hard Scott tried so hard but failed miserably. Personally, I believe that health care in America is a very sensitive topic but I believe we should try and fix it and make it work rather than complain about it and want to go around in circles talking about it. If more big companies/ rich people just paid a little more in tax then some of these costs could be covered
However much he can articulate and communicate.. it's still nothing but shit that leaves his mouth..
You cannot have a prosperous free enterprise economy without a strong middleclass.
But does it also necessitate a struggling working or under class?

Trust the BBC to focus on Afghanistan when we are in the midst of the greatest income adjusted inequality this country has experienced in 300 years...
Yeah but if poor people had more cash in hand...guess the results?
More inflation..higher property and asset prices..
Quality finds its LEVEL!
She asked one question about Afghanistan, what are you on about?
@@liveuser8527 Firstly, you'll find inflated property prices is not actually linked to people having more cash. Price to income has gone from an average of 4:1 to 9:1 in the UK. Wages are not growing but house prices are. The reason behind house-price inflation is Government policy (Help to Buy and Buy to Let + stamp duty freezes) and lack of supply, building companies deliberately under supplying. Inflationary pressure in the UK is more on business activity rather than consumer activity coupled with external shocks (exchange rate crash during Truss' mini-budget + the war in Ukraine + trade war with China). This explains why disposable income is amongst the lowest it has ever been in the UK for the bottom 30% yet inflation is still so high. Stop spreading misinformation please, well either that or you are grossly misinformed...
(Edit, for my first point - I should have said less-well off people not having more cash, inflation is entirely linked to the top 10% buying all the assets, hence why most have 5-7 mortgages on the Buy to Let while a hard-working lower-middle family cannot afford to get on the housing ladder).
@@mimic6494 It was the first question, on quite frankly a small issue when the interviews is related to his book... It was to try and discredit his points by providing an example of where he might not be viewed correctly by most people.
@@mimic6494 But she began the interview with it, an issue which has not been mentioned in main-stream media for over a year yet it was still the opening question - not people's standard of living or growing inequality - Afghanistan. That is my point, it is classic journalism, if you want to attempt to discredit your interviewee, you begin with an area most people will not agree with them on, that is my point.
WHY are we all working to make billionaires into trillionaires?
Bernie understands the struggle of the average American and he is SO right about the US not needing to be involved in the government of other countries. The military complex in the US is out of control with NO over site. Monopolies in the US have taken over, but we used to have laws in place to prevent this from happening. The problem is lawyers who seem to find a way to work around any law in place to restrict abuses.
Shameful greed.
What I love about Americans is their isolated opinions. When talking about greed do you realise that the USA with its small population consume 25% of the world's oil. The reality was after WW2 the USA was the only advanced nation with its industry left intact. It lent the UK the money to fight and as a consequence the UK was bankrupt. As the rest of the world rebuilt their industry it was only a matter of time that as the other 7 billion people on the planet raised their standard of living, and as they did so the standard of living in the first world will fall. Its not about money its about commodities. If half the Chinese consumed oil as the average American they would consume all of the world's fuel. Obviously this will not happen but the average American citizen consuming 50 times that of 7/8ths of the world citizens in the time of internet and containerised shipping is also totally unsustainable.
Bernie is the most underrated politician in America, smarter then most of them.

@@borovik8714 He wants the Scandinavian model, and its a easy choice if you compare with the American model
His detractors are either grossly uninformed or have a nefarious agenda.
5:23 uncle Bernie talking funny memes with no hint of smile. Is that me on the moon? 😂
I'd like to say the world would be a better place with Beanie in charge but the sad reality is the political system would never allow him to act any real change
The mafia won't allow it
He at least would have had executive orders at his disposal
No he sucks too
Sanders has accomplished nothing in his decades of politics other than make himself a very rich man. Being on the fringe of politics and unable to compromise with even moderate democrats means none of his agenda ever gets through. His demand for ideological purity only helps him sell $30 books on Amazon so he can buy his fourth home.
@@karlosjeffers4791 Sanders does like the idea of ruling by decree like his idol Castro
Bernie is so eminently reasonable. We are not worthy.
Bernie, you are as cool as the breeze.
Love Bernie Sanders❣
Mittens keep you warm better than gloves because it has less surface area for heat exchange
❤️❤️❤️Senator Sanders.
Bernie is a pillar of integrity
A great role model in many regards
I'm no lefty but Bernie Saunders the president America needed but they would never let them have 😭😢😔
Okay I just got to the mittens question... This is embarrassing 🤦♂️
LEGEND❤️
Yay SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS. YOU FIGHT FOR ME. YOU FIGHT FOR ALL OF US WORKING CLASS. YOU ALWAYS HAVE. YOU ARE OUR AMERICAN TREASURE AND HERO. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
yes
love you bernie.
Bernie is a King of NYC ❤
Everyone loves Mittens the cat.
Nice
He is very sharp. He answers all questions perfectly
Billionaire can also pay for services like from Team Jorge and conduct massive misinformation campaigns, they can do that without it ever being associated with them. That is the danger.
What a Legend!
Bernie: Afghanistan withdrawal was right, no more weapons for Israel.
Also Bernie: Keep sending more money to Ukraine.
Ukraine is a just cause.
Ukraine was invaded illegally! We aren't gonna sit back and let Russia annex countries, that would be suicidal.
I thought BBC was meant to be a professional news outlet and then they start asking him about memes from over a year ago🙄
I like his honest answer hope one day he get what he want
If Affordable healthcare, housing for homeless is socialism than I’m all for it .
anybody else catch that at :43 Seconds in the video?
I wish he was our President.
Bernie 2024!
As much as I like the United States. This man apparently is too good and intelligent for America
I love this man
BERNIE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have a Bernie mittens t shirt :)
I don’t agree with a lot of what he says or believes in, however I do think he seems honest and logical in his approach
Can you name some examples of what you disagree with ? I'm curious.
@@mysticmarble94 he's supports Joe Biden........
@@moallysnackbar And you support Trump ... LOL
So what's your point.
@@mysticmarble94 one example: I think that billionaires (some more than others) are actually great tools to spread wealth and grow humanity vs govt. Elon Musk is clearly reinvesting all his wealth into value creation and new technologies as well as pushing other people/companies to do the same. Seems like a pretty positive impact to me.
I do agree that these billionaires should not be using their wealth to influence political outcomes that further their personal interests.
Also as a Brit I have the privilege of living in a country with many benefits vs USA like healthcare and lack of killing weapons on the streets. So I understand it’s not so simple in the US
@@cokyrobes Ohhhh yes. Traveling to Mars, driving through single lane disco tunnels and companies that sell consumer flamethrowers will certainly help planet earth quite much.
The uk needs a Bernie. Sharpish
He’s still consistent w/ his ideas and values. There are some stuff I don’t agree with but the guy means well for the working class.
Bernie is really one of his kind.
This guy would make a wionderful president.
really weird how they keep attacking bernie!
Because he makes common sense.

@@Somethingwicked1x already got mine. i wanna rock and roll all night
The Bern-
Short , concise & precise answers; how many other politicians, while trying to answer
?’s, dance around with their heads up their ass acting like stuttering buffoons.
Hope he runs in 2024.
Oh, he'll run; it's what he's paid to do.
When the time is right, he'll drop out and endorse Biden. Probably when his popularity is at the height.
He makes a living on quitting and endorsing establishment candidates.
True American, I loved his defense of the 2nd amendment “that’s our culture, your culture may be different”
I really respect this man!
He'd be ten times better than Biden.
What's with the visual cartoon filter/audio issues in this video? It's sort of distracting
I ❤ Sen. Bernie Sanders
