>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP TRIES TO
MAKE THE DEMOCRATIC RACE ALL
ABOUT HIM AND MAYBE BIDEN.
CANDIDATES ARE TAKING ON JOBS,
WALL STREET.
WALL STREET. SOMETHING BERNIE SANDERS RAISED
IN A MAJOR ADDRESS TODAY
EXPLAINING DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM.
>> THEY MAY HATE DEMOCRATIC
SOCIALISM BECAUSE IT BENEFITS
WORKING PEOPLE.
WORKING PEOPLE. BUT THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE
CORPORATE SOCIALISM THAT
ENRICHES TRUMP AND OTHER
BILLIONAIRES.
BILLIONAIRES. >> ONE REASON CANDIDATES GIVE
SPEEM SPEECHES LIKE THIS EARLY
IN THE RACE IS TO LAY OUT A MARK
HE.
HE. I CAN TELL YOU SANDERS IS
DRAWING DESIRED HEADLINES WITH
HIS SPEECH.
HIS SPEECH. AS FOR WHAT HE SAID, HE ARGUED
THIS IS ALL ABOUT SPECIFICS OF
HIS ECONOMIC VISION.
RIGHTS TO A LIVING WAGE,
HERRING, AND OTHER BENEFITS THAT
FDR ENACTED.
FDR ENACTED. CLEARLY ATTEMPTS TO PRESENT
THESE VALUES IN SOME SORT OF
BROADER IDEA OF A LIBERAL MAIN
STREAM.
STREAM. AND HISTORY OFFERS SOME
INTERESTING LESSONS.
INTERESTING LESSONS. THERE ARE REFORMERS WIDELY
REVILED IN THEIR DAY.
THEN LATER CELEBRATED.
LABOR LEADERS COME TO MIND.
AND THERE IS AN ECHO HERE OF
THAT THEME.
THAT THEME. SANDERS CLAIMS ONE OF THE MOST
FAMOUS LINES FROM THE LAST FDR
CAMPAIGN SPEECH, JUST DAYS
BEFORE THE ELECTION, DURING THE
DEPRESSION WITH CONTROVERSIES
OVER THE NEW DEAL.
AND FDR NOTED THE ELITES AND
BANKERS DIDN’T JUST OPPOSE HIM,
THEY HATED HIM AND HE WAS PROUD
OF IT.
OF IT. >> NEVER BEFORE IN ALL OUR
HISTORY HAVE THESE FORCES BEEN
SO UNITED AGAINST ONE CANDIDATE
AS THEY STAND TODAY.
THEY ARE UNANIMOUS IN THEIR
HATRED FOR ME, AND I WELCOME
THEIR HATRED.
THEIR HATRED. >> TODAY BERNIE SANDERS MADE A
POINT OF QUOTING THE VERY SAME
LINE.
LINE. >> IN ALL OUR HISTORY, HAVE
THESE FORCES BEEN SO UNITED
AGAINST ONE CANDIDATE AS THEY
STAND TODAY.
STAND TODAY. THEY ARE UNANIMOUS IN THEIR HATE
FOR ME AND I WELCOME THEIR
HATRED.
HATRED. >> I’M JOINED BY PROFESSOR
BRITTNEY COOPER, AUTHOR OF THE
BOOK, ELOQUENT RAGE.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A TOP
TIER CANDIDATE EXPLAINING
DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM TODAY.
>> IN THIS WAS A HUGE AND
IMPORTANT SPEECH.
IMPORTANT SPEECH. I THINK REALLY CENTRAL TO WHERE
WE’RE TRYING TO MOVE ON THE
DEMOCRATIC LEFT.
DEMOCRATIC LEFT. SO ESSENTIALLY, BERNIE SANDERS
SAYS, WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE
CONCEPT YOU’LL TERRITORY TO THE
RIGHT.
RIGHT. WE WON’T LET THEM DEFINE THE
TERMS OR TELL THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE WHAT SOCIALISM IS.
WE’RE GOING TO TAKE THAT BACK.
THAT MOMENT WHERE HE SAYS, I
WELCOME YOUR HATE IS ACTUALLY A
REALLY SMART RHETORICAL MOVE AND
IT IS FROM THE TRUMP PLAY BOOK.
TRUMP FEEDS ON RHETORICAL HATE
FROM THE AMERICAN POPOUS.
SO HE’S SAYING, I’LL TAKE THE
HATE AND I’LL USE TO IT POWER
THE CAMPAIGN.
THE CAMPAIGN. I THINK THAT’S A SMART,
SOPHISTICATED CAMPAIGNING.
SOPHISTICATED CAMPAIGNING. >> YOU MADE A GOOD POINT ABOUT
THIS.
THIS. WHEN TRUMP WAS ACCUSED OF
NATIONAL I, HE SHRUGGED IT OFF
AND SAID MAYBE NATIONALISM IS A
GOOD THING.
GOOD THING. AND DEMOCRATIC SOCIAL SIX
DISTINCT FROM TRADITIONAL
SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM.
BUT WHAT SANDERS IS PUSHING BACK
AGAINST IS WHAT OTHER DEMOCRATS
ARE CURRENTLY OBVIOUSLY NOT AS
COMFORTABLE WITH.
COMFORTABLE WITH. TAKE A LOOK AT THE WAY THESE
LABELS ARE CROPPING UP IN THE
DEBATE.
DEBATE. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> I’M A CAPITALIST.
COME ON.
COME ON. I BELIEVE IN MARKET.
>> I SUPPORT CAPITALISM.
>> I AM NOT A SOCIALIST.
>> WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE PARTY
WHO ARE.
WHO ARE. >> I’M A DEMOCRAT.
I BELIEVE IN FUNDAMENTAL
DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.
DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES. >> IF WE WANT TO BEAT DONALD
TRUMP AND ACHIEVE BIG
PROGRESSIVE GOALS, SOCIALISM IS
NOT THE ANSWER.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OTHER
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES VEERING
INTO SOCIALISM?
INTO SOCIALISM? BERNIE IS TRYING STY, NO, WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT DEMOCRATIC
SOCIALISM.
SOCIALISM. >> I THINK THAT BERNIE SANDERS
IS RIGHT ON THIS POINT.
PART OF WHAT HE IS ARGUING IS
THAT WE NEED A REAL ROBUST LEFT.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A CRITIQUE OF
ECONOMICS.
ECONOMICS. I THINK THERE’S AN IDENTITY
POLITICS PIECE TO THIS.
YOU NOTICE THE FEMALE
CANDIDATES, THE CANDIDATES OF
COLOR, CAN’T SORT OF CLAIM
SOCIALISM.
SOCIALISM. YOU LOOK AT ELIZABETH WARREN IN
POLICY.
POLICY. MUCH OF WHAT SHE’S DOING IS
RADICAL REST OF BERNIE SANDERS.
SHE CAN’T CLAIM SOCIALISM.
I DON’T BELIEVE WOMEN CAN RUN
THAT FAR LEFT AND WIN.
THIS IS WHY BERNIE SANDERS IS SO
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. WE’RE STILL NEARLY 18 MONTHS OUT
FROM THE ELECTION.
AND SO WE NEED A ROBUST LEFT.
WE NEED A DEBATE.
AND BERNIE SANDERS SET NEW
CONCEPTUAL TERRITORY AND SAID
ECONOMIC RIGHTS ARE HUMAN
RIGHTS.
RIGHTS. THESE ARE REASONABLE CONCERNS
THE DEMOCRATIC LEFT SHOULD BE
DEBATING.
DEBATING. HIM RESETTING THAT TERRITORY
MATTERS.
MATTERS. WHETHER YOU SUPPORT SANDERS OR
NOT.
NOT. HE IS INFUSING A ROBUST CONCEPT
YOU’LL GROUND.
YOU’LL GROUND. >> AND JUST BRIEFLY, WE HAVE A
BUNK BREAKING NEWS WE’RE GOING
TO TURN TO.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN, THEY TRY TO
SAY, I WELCOME YOUR HATRED.
BANKERS SHOULD NOT LIKE ME.
THAT’S NOT WHAT WE HEAR.
>> THEY’RE SAYING, BRING IT.
AS I KEEP SAYING, DEMOCRATS TO
HAVE SHOW UP AND FIGHT AND STOP
ACTING LIKE THEY HAVE TO STOP
CONCEDING THE MORAL HIGH GROUND
TO REPUBLICANS.
TO REPUBLICANS. 48% OF MILLENNIALS SUPPORT
