@Roots Are the questions ridiculous? Or are Bernie's answers ridiculous. Cause Bernie didn't answer any of them. Matter of fact he's acting extremely similar to Trump.
@Roots They have to be asked. I support sanders and expect him to be able to answer hard questions (and he mostly does). We all cringe when fox news gives trump softball questions so why should OUR candidate be any different? What's ridiculous are Bernies hard core supporters that don't want him questioned and ultimately may cause him to either lose the candidacy or even the presidency.
@@animenerd453 bullshit ‼️ If you took the time to research that Bernie is literally the ONLY one who has a proven track record of serving US THE PEOPLE INSTEAD of big money Neoliberal agendas then you wouldn't make such an ignorant comment!!! And Bernie's Economic advisor Stephanie Kelton who speaks FACTS and TRUTH on Macroeconomics= How our Monetarily Sovereign Federal Government actually CAN afford to do good things for US ,, is CRUCIAL to understand!! #MMT #StephanieKelton #MedicareForAll #FederalJobGuarentee #GreenNewDeal #LivingWages #FreeCollegeForAll Wake up!!!
@Marvin Guigar seems different when sanders has matured a view that he has consistently had for 5 generations. Trump either does paradoxical 180's on principles or actively devolves them into simplistic dribble.
@WageSlaving2TheTop ! thats why he didnt confirm nor deny it. People who like the idea will say support him simply for being in the right direction and people who are neutral will see Jake bringing this up as biased and weak. Either way Bernie handled this entire joke of an interview extraordinarily well
@Chris Johnson lies as usual. Bernie is the poorest senator, and those "millions" are only 2 houses that were passed to his family, amd he wants to pit Tax kn thry for himself as well!!!!! Is it too hard to get?
I mean it's still relevant, Bernie should be honest and just say "Hey that was a while ago, times have changed and this is my position on a wage cap...(cont.)" Love him, voting for him, but he kinda dodged it.
Previous month I was able to withdraw my first five figure income ever!!! I've been working for this provider on the internet for 2 yrs now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the most desirable thing about that is the fact that I am not really that tech-savvy, they only asked for standard knowledge of internet and key typing skill...Awesome thing about this job is that now I have more free time for my loved ones. I am in a position to devote quality time with my family and friends and look after my babies and also going on holiday with them very often. Don't neglect this opportunity and try to respond quick. Check it out, what I do... *explore486.com*
I know right Bernie jumped in his safe space and put up the defenses so fast, why not just say if you still feel this way or not simple but Bernie tries to avoid his past.......why???
Lol cut people off? He's a push over. He kept dodging the question. Why is he on CNN? They're against him. He has a better chance with Fox news honestly. BS is doing this to himself. He lets his democratic opponents talk crap about him and he does nothing about it.
Ha so damn true. They are literally digging for smear material and it's just become comedy. The media assumes all of Americans are dumb sheep they can lead. CNN has been the worst. Still proving they suck today

Oh everybody knows he exists, he's been at it for decades, he tried once before, and ran against the most disliked family in politics, it was easy to support him then. We have a better choice, We have a young, brilliant veteran running, without name recognition..I want our next President to work with other young world leaders!!
No. No baby steps. CNN is interested in their own personal gain. The only reason I am watching this video right now is because Bernie is in it. I'd rather CNN go completely out of business than continue with all the power they have right now.
@@Drbeckerproductions Any kind of publicity is good for Bernie. It's exactly why they've been avoiding showing his face. Regardless of how they choose to slander him, very few people are willing to take a news outlet for their word. They'll research him, they'll resonate with him and the revolution will grow stronger.
You know when someone is legit, when a research to uncover dirt for one, has to go back 45 years back. Unbelievable. How can americans be that blind. This guy is the best president you can have. Honest respected man!
Bernie and his team are seasoned veterans at this point. They know every last one of the do’s and don’ts when it comes to talking to the media. Its after being suppressed for the majority of his political career, he has finally come out as the strongest version of himself.
Notice how when they ask Bernie questions it’s like they are pitching in game 7 of the World Series, but when they ask Buttigeg questions it’s Tee Ball.
Not true. Jake likes to stir the pot, tries to get the candidates to say something controversial and critical about their opponents Does the same thing with Pete Buttigieg.
3:50 Tapper questions Bernie on a comment he made 45 years ago before he even ran for Mayor!!! 🤦🏻♂️ That's how deep they have to dig to get something mildly questionable on Bernard Sanders. Bernie's response is priceless! "What are you gonna question me on an essay I wrote in the 3rd grade?" Tapper is such a TOOL!
Yikers. I’ve defended CNN in the past, but this is a pretty shitty interview. You don’t see them tearing down the other candidates in this manner-people are really afraid of the change he brings
If we go back yesterday we will find a list of misdeeds and hate in trumpski and the GOP which is in court to demolish healthcare and protection for pre-existing conditions while lying publicly saying they will protect them. No contest. Bernie 2020. No lies. 🎉🎉
Project Nerdvana It’s funny how you talked all that shit but you go back to the “line is go do research”. Don’t make a statement without proving what you’re saying is a fact. Don’t ask someone else to go find your facts about your statement that you made!
Jason Larsen in any country other that fascist America Bernie would be slightly left of center. Biden is right wing and Trump is full on right wing. Anyone who throws around communism without knowing what it means is a clown.
@@BittyVids if you want to know communism just look at Bernie or any democrate . And here is a partial list of thier goals . 17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks. 18. Gain control of all student newspapers. 19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack. 20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions. 21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures And if course thier pervert agenda ,24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press. 25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. 26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.” So trump 2020 ,and more liberal wailing .
To put this into perspective: A multi-billion-dollar network of journalists and investigators went digging for controversial statements Bernie has made, and the one they thought was good enough to bring up on air came from *the year Alex Jones was born.*
Good point there’s worse shit on 90% of politicians in the time it takes to watch that video. The only reason I didn’t get mad at Tapper for wasting my time is I watched it i the toilet.
@Terry Tater 1981 $24,000 capping is more than controversial. It's ludicrous and he was 39 years old at that time. He doesn't want to go back there because it shows how many times he modified his inconsistencies. Waiting to tell us Mexico is gonna pay for it. Remember there are always more poor people than rich people..... A populist depends on it. He will be your future because I probably won't be around. I have been around a long enough and worked with thousands of people and never met this caliber of a shit turd in my life ...except maybe trump.
Hillary and EVERY OTHER POLITICIAN KNOWS that BERNIE is the ONLY one who WILL serve US THE PEOPLE and they fear US having the tables turn in OUR direction!!!!
@@blackdoveyt what exactly did he praise about the USSR and china? did he praise their bad policies or said he agrees with everything they were doing? i think not.
Diana “I like free birthday parties. Vote for me.” Socialism is a plague and the victims are the innocent workers. You are a prolific fool if you vote for Sanders.

See where that gets you. Because it won't keep the White House and Senate for you. You're losing those.
Thanks for having Bernie on but come on with those questions about one thing he said 50 years ago. Technically, he's been consistent on issues longer than Mayor Pete has been alive.
You are stupid!! You support this guy who wants the government to decide what to do with all this tax money over a guy like Andrew Yang that wants to give it directly to the people? You are as stupid as it gets.
@Beats Well being that the current maximum allowed to collect in SS is less then $800 I think that is a pretty good deal. Don't you? or, like the vast majority of voters have you failed to do your research?
Am I wrong or was there not effectively an income cap in this country in the Eisenhower Era? The top marginal tax rate was 90 percent on basically anything more than 2.5 million in today's dollars so sort of there was a cap. That's how I would have answered this question.
Bernie "Jake what year was that" Jake laughs sheepishly self embarrassed "it was 1974" For godsakes Jake if you feel embarrassed knowing how ridiculous the questioning is then what impression do you think the people viewing CNN get?
I like Bernie and what he stands for and I'm a small time wage earner to whom this question does not apply. Yet, by the time the interviewer asked Bernie for the second or third time if he is now taking back his old opinion about putting a maximum wage cap, I got curious as to his answer and was disappointed that he did not give a direct answer of yes or no. I thought it was the Republicans' role to slip and slide around questions instead of giving a direct, honest answer of yes or no.

You know, I really like Tapper. Off screen, he's a great guy and can have a great conversation with you. I think he's a bit under the gun from the higher ups on this one if you know what I mean
@@TheChadPad Exactly. They all are. Everyone who works the front-end for the corporate media have to tow the company line or get canned. When you make those big bucks (literally) you really don't want to lose that. I get it and partly feel bad for them, but also know it's a choice they have all made, thus making my "sympathy" a bit tempered. Tapper has more options with his high 6 or possibly 7 figure income than the poor schlub earning $25-40K in a widget factory, which is the entire point. Not whether someone is a nice person. We all have to earn a living. The problem for the majority (which is the working class) is the upper classes have gamed the system for their benefit only. It's a fact that many are finally waking up to. The media is wholly owned by large corporations & super rich people, none of which are interested in upsetting the status quo. That's also a fact. They will do & say anything to keep everything humming along just as it has been for the last 40 years. Bernie Sanders represents an existential threat to them (not really) but they believe that, so the threat is real. They've had total control for so long and the ability to amass BILLIONS (not millions, but billions) they believe they will perish if they have to pay their share of taxes. They won't. They will only come back down to earth a little bit. It's not possible to wipe out a billionaire's fortune. It's not asking a lot of them to pay the taxes they owe to the country they live in. And if they were going to "move" as the fear mongers like to say--the legacy families of the US would have done that 60+years ago when the US tax rates were the highest, but they didn't. It's time to end "Reaganomics" and move forward with something that makes sense for the people. I make no bones about being an ardent Bernie supporter, for this reason: I know he's genuine, I know his interest is in doing for the people, not himself (the haters like to put bs out there) He's not a phony, warm/fuzzy/platitudes kind of guy, which is why people have a hard time with him. Don't be fooled, if you look past that, you will see his actual concern/caring for others. It's real. Everything he has done politically from mayor till now, is to that end. You have to do that research yourself. Or just listen to the haters for the bs story. ***Also trump is trying to game the election: He DOESN'T want to face Bernie, because he knows he would be harder to beat. (there is recent Lev Parnas video of him stating as much about 2016) so now he's saying he WANTS to run against him, hoping to scare people into picking someone else. Don't listen to this charlatan!
@D MAN Lol....my Husband and I work on his campaign. I'd suggest more research and less conspiracy theories. Especially when your focus should be ridding the Oval office from someone who poops in gold toilets. Let's get our priorities straight, shall we? Neither you nor I have time for this. You should be utilizing your time more productively.
"Mr. Sanders recent reports state that when you were 8 you refused to eat your supper. I dont know If the American people can trust that kind of inconsistency with a potential presidential candidate"
Exactly! What's wrong with their attitudes? Bernie has a VISION, a DIRECTION for America. That's a start, man. They are like "I cannot promise you milk & honey by 2024, so I'll just settle for nazi instead" 🤷♂️ Biden promises to enhance the Paris Agreement (nobody questions if he can deliver on that!).
I thought it was a good interview and two major questions Bernie didn't want to entertain because CNN will spin it either way. CNN is big corp who's owned by Turner Broadcasting who is owned by Turner who's now owned by AT&T who basically controls the FCC. 21st century Fox and Disney owns Fox while Cox owns Cox Communications and Comcast owns the rest. Google essentially owns the entire digital platform, aka RU-vid and is void from lobbyist control unlike the aforementioned.
Bernie just destroyed that interview. The fact that they had to go back to some weak point from 45 years ago about a max income cap just shows you how consistent Bernie is on the issues that really matter. Go Bernie!
Let me keep asking horse race and gotcha questions and avoid anything of meaning or substance. As a corporate media "journalist" on CNN MSNBC FOX CNBC ABC NBC CBS that's the job. Ask really lame gotcha questions over and over. "Hillary said something mean about you again, what do you have to say about that?" How about "WTF cares? Ask President Hillary how her first term is going."
@@meatball4409 - Well it's a good thing that isn't what Sanders is pushing for. Unfortunately, America is notoriously bad at having a good grasp on the different schools of economic/political thought, and so he initially used the wrong terminology to describe his ideology. His would be more akin to a social democracy. Or, as I like to call it, a collectivist republic. Aside from all that though, you're just wrong. Sanders is the most like senator, and he consistently is in line with the American people, when going issue-by-issue. Ignore the titles and labels, and focus on the policy details like an actual responsible adult would. If you're voting, take some responsibility for educating yourself on the matter. Not doing so, in my opinion, is immoral as well as being extremely unintelligent.
@James clark Exactly. In all honesty though, there's no instance of any of these Dems beating President Trump. They don't have what it takes to lead. Besides, after all the good President Trump has done for our country, why would we let it go to the dogs again by electing a Democrat?
Notice how Tapper literally has to stop himself from laughing when Sanders asks him which year he's gone back to for that quote. He knows the absurdity of the question but obviously has to ask it.
Yes, Tapper seems to be reading the questions off of a teleprompter. Tapper probably shares those views but his bosses are writing the questions he is asking.
@@sjbock that is completely obvious. CNN has been garbage covering Bernie from their stories to their debates. They are trying to take him out every chance they get and it always winds up making them look like corporate pawns. Keep it up CNN we trust your news to be utter bs everytime. Dont want to upset your perfect record on it
good to know you folks can recognize cnn lies when cnn is lying to you about what you already know. The next step is to recognize cnn is lying to you ALWAYS. It is, at least, a step in the right direction. FYI, Bernie signed a contract with HRC in the previous nomination process NOT to criticize HRC on certain issues. She even threatened to sue him for violating their agreement and he backed down. Bernie, like most, is purely in it for him and he is using the gullibility of his supporters for personal gain. Unlike President Trump, he has no intention of winning. It is all for show. Supporters be damned!
Unfortunately, I think your're right. Some of these media anchors make too much money for the pants they're wearing. They've become like virtual reality tv stars.
It’s so obvious how much of a problem this is....I work in Advertising, in a country that doesn’t allow pharmaceutical ads. I’ve had to get networks to pull segments on minor shit, like a furniture client who came out with a lower score than their smaller competitors on a review of bunk beds. It’s horrifying to think what huge influence and budget those drug companies would have
Come on Jake...wtf was that? Leaning that far to “try to get Bernie” “Bernie, in 1790 you were for the industrial revolution. How do you feel about that support that helped destroy the planet, here, now in 2020?”
@MegaAccept1234 LOL Weak people don't go up against both political parties and the most powerful, richest industries in the country numbnuts! Don't wait until it's too late to figure out Bernie is trying to prevent us from becoming the country we've been warned of becoming! "The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity. They claim to be super patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesman for monopoly and vested interests. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed, is to capture political power so that using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection." - VP Henry A. Wallace April 9, 1944
Which of Bernie’s current policies didn’t he advocate for in the 70’s or 70’s? When do we officially start the calendar for when Bernie’s policies can be taken seriously and the rest are discarded? Is it Jan 1, 1980? Or how about Jan 1, 1978?
Ever notice how when CNN interviews Bernie, they always give a "serious" and "depressing expression" on listening to him, but if it's Pete, then they're so ecstatic!
THE DNC DID NOT TRY THEY DID TRY TO STEAL IT FROM BERNIE. AND HIS SOCIALIST PLATFORM IS A WINNING MESSAGE FOR THE OVERWHELMING AMERICAN PEOPLE. THAT IS WHY BERNIE WAS ABLE TO RAISE $25 MILLION DOLLARS IN 1 MONTH, THAT SAYS AMERICANS DO WANT BERNIE!
This country has no money for healthcare, schools, its own people, its infrastructure but it has $16 million dollars a day to give Israel! All the homeless people ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY, shutting down money for its citizens but $16 million dollars a day for Israel !
@krabbi Actually, I haven't because I don't have one.

Fuck you and your support for the corrupt fat cats.
@yoyoyouuuu1 Nah, but on the upside the reaction videos in 2020 will be even better than last time. If Bernie got close and was right there, lol. Plus you're average Bernie fan is even, uh shall we say, more engaged then the average Hillary supporter.

And they forgot it happened to them in Florida and it took over a month to sort out as well. All the while we on the left was understanding and wanted to to be right for whomever was the winner. There wasn't all this pitted hate and name calling like we are hearing now from the right to the left ALL coming down from the dying snake himself to his kool aid drinkers in a peat repeat mode.
Absolutely! Wow! Comrade Bernie was breathtaking! No wonder Trump didn't want to mess with Sanders in 2016; Thankfully, hillary took care of that! and remember; its not called the Clinton News Network for nothing!
It's not embarrassing. He is just asking tough questions. And Bernie did his best to answer. I mean, I would argue that Tapper was asking questions that had no easy answer. So good on both of them; He asked good questions and Bernie answered them. Lol
Living in Canada it amazes me how the U.S is still talking about health care.. My sister has been on life support for two weeks, in ICU for one month, now in a physio ward and being transferred to brain recovery treatment and imagine the cost if I and my family didn’t live in Canada 🇨🇦
I am also Canadian, chose my own doctor, chose my hospital and have been getting treatment for the past 3 months, if I lived in the states I would have another mortgage on my head
Tapper is doing his job here and Bernie doesn't want to budge yet. The MSM (sans Fox) will hop on board if the majority of people decide a progressive candidate.
He likes to back and say he was right about Vietnam, no reason explained. He is a conscientious objector..He only objects to serving unless he's the Commander in Chief. You know he has it all figured out but he ain't gonna tell you how it all works until he's elected.
So if someone was making racist comments and was pro Nazi 45 years ago and refused to answer that would be okay right? Notice how he refused to answer such a simple question, and how he dodged the dark money his charity has taken in? These are legitimate questions about his beliefs that he refuses to answer, yet he turns around and says I have been fighting for America for 45 years and that is okay. He is part of the problem just like every other millionaire do nothing politician that has been in office for 30 years living the good life off the working class with a $174,000 a year salary.
Something I love about Bernie is he doesn’t feed into issues that don’t matter. He keeps drama at bay and instead focuses on communicating ideas about a way forward. So grateful for this man.
Meanwhile with Trump you have to waaaay back to... last week, or the week before... and the month before that... or any week of the last year... or the last three years... or all the crazy things he said (on record) before that.
You know if he doesn’t believe that anymore it would be very easy to say “I was young and I don’t believe that anymore” Instead of dodging every question he ever gets about his past positions including his support for some of the most evil dictatorships on earth.
Mkay 2866 that’s not true at all. Trump was a hard democrat back then and stated publicly he believed in those values. Guess you should do some actual research.
@America first americans first all troll like to trigger people like you! #bernie2020 i love this country, more so than you do and i'm more patriotic than you'll ever be because i see every American as equal and look past through politics, my familly support trump but i love then still.
Some tough questions true, but I guess thats the point. It's a fair chance for Bernie to respond and set the record straight on what's being said in the media. He did that pretty well too.
@@frewjitsu_funk83 Its a fair question but with disingenuous premise. They don't ask Biden or Buttigieg for their unpopular opinions they may have expressed 2 years ago or even last month. It's so obvious and ridiculous, but Bernie is so consistent. This is all they can do.
@@alejandrobonfil2818 agreed 100% though I think Bernie being the man he is keeps the ball in his court pretty well. Ps, best of luck in the upcoming elections. From over here in Australia, keep fighting the good fight ✊
It wasn't even that extreme in 1974. The top marginal tax rate was 70% in 1974. FDR passed a "maximum wage" in the 1940s which was in effect a 94% top marginal tax rate, about a third higher than the rate was in the 1970s. Right now Sanders is proposing a 54% top marginal tax rate, a ~40% increase from the current of around 38%. Neither case is that radical in the historical context, Jake Tapper is just trying to scare low information voters.
“Is the DNC trying to hurt you?” “I didn’t see that but we are taking on the establishment, take on Trump AND take on the Republican establishment” Looks like Bernie knows these are 3 separate groups
