>>CARDI B THE MUSIC ARTIST AND RAPPER HAS BEEN MAKING SOME
POLITICAL STATEMENTS LATELY THAT HAVE MADE ME CHANGE MY
PERSONAL OPINION ON HER.
I WAS NOT A FAN OF HER I DO AGREE WITH HER ON A NUMBER OF
ISSUES.
NOW IT TURNS OUT THAT OUR VERY OWN SEN. BERNIE SANDERS IS ALSO
AN AGREEMENT WITH HER AND IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE
ISSUE OF SOCIAL SECURITY.
LET'S START WITH WHAT CARDI B HAD SAID ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY.
SHE MENTIONED THAT FDR, ONE OF HER FAVORITE FORMER PRESIDENTS
WAS THE REAL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN PRESIDENT.
SHE'S AWARE OF THAT, I LOVE THAT.
I LOVE THAT SHE'S DRAWING ATTENTION TO THAT.
BERNIE SANDERS SAW THAT, RETWEETED HER AND SAID THE
FOLLOWING.
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING STORY I'VE EVER COVERED IN MY 11
YEARS AT TYT.
I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP TO YOU GUYS.
>>OKAY.
MY SON AND I PLAY THIS GAME OF
WHO WOULD BEAT WHO.
HE IS SEVEN YEARS OLD SO THAT IS HIS FAVORITE THING.
WE DO WRESTLERS, CARS, AND PRESIDENTS.
BUT NO ONE CAN BEAT FDR BECAUSE HE WON FOUR TIMES.
IN ALL SERIOUSNESS IN THAT TIME HE DID AMAZING THINGS.
WE TALK ABOUT HOW HE LED US THROUGH WORLD WAR II, BUT THE
LASTING DIFFERENCE HE MADE IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH.
IT HAPPENS OFTEN WITH PROGRESSIVE PRESIDENCY BROUGHT
US A LOT OF CHANGE.
THERE IS NONSTOP TALKING ABOUT HOW RONALD REAGAN SAID GORBACHEV
TEAR DOWN THIS WALL.
BUT THAT IS NOT THE ACTUAL EVENT THAT LED TO THE TEARING DOWN OF
THE WALL WHEREAS FDR ACTUALLY DID PASS SOCIAL SECURITY.
THAT MADE A GIANT DIFFERENCE.
WE HAD HUNGRY PEOPLE IN THE STREETS BEFORE THAT.
NOW OLDER AMERICANS HAVE PEACE OF MIND, SOME SAFETY NET THAT
HAS RESCUED THEIR LIVES.
IT IS THE MOST POPULAR PROGRAM THERE IS LITTLE ON THE FACT THAT
FASCIST BACK IN THE DAY WERE
TRYING TO PLAN A COUP AGAINST HIM, AND THAT CASE IT WAS
BUSINESS INTEREST.
THEY THOUGHT HE WAS A TRAITOR TO HIS CLASS BECAUSE HE WAS RICH.
AND HE WASN'T LOOKING AT FOR OTHER RICH PEOPLE.
HE CONSTANTLY LOOKED OUT FOR THE POOR, MIDDLE-CLASS,
UNDERPRIVILEGED.
HE BROUGHT THE COUNTRY THAT WE KNOW AND LOVE TODAY.
IF THOSE BUSINESS INTERESTS HAD WON THEN, BUT THIS WOULD BE A
TOTALLY DIFFERENT COUNTRY. THE STRENGTH AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF
FDR CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED SO GOOD ON YOU CARDI B, WHOEVER
YOU ARE.
>>ON THE HEELS OF SOMETHING THAT WAS A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF
CAPITALISM ñ THE FALL OF THE BANK SYSTEM AND THE SOLUTION
BEING LET'S LOOK OUT FOR PEOPLE WHY DON'T WE.
WHY DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT STEP IN BECAUSE EVERYONE IN THE
BUSINESS CENTER WAS ALLOWED TO HAVE THEIR SHOT.
>> THE ONLY COMMON I WANTED TO MAKE WAS THAT YOU HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY THAT I'VE
HAD WITH CARDI B AND NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS.
WE HAVE HAD A TUMULTUOUS RELATIONSHIP. SHE WAS NEVER ON
MY RADAR UNTIL A GOOD FRIEND OF
MINE INTRODUCED ME TO THE SONG BUT THE RADIO DOES NOT STOP
PLAYING, THE ONE WHERE SHE IS
MAKING MONEY MOVES AND JUST REPEATS THAT.
I HATE THAT SONG MORE THAN I COULD POSSIBLY HATE A SONG.
I HAVEN'T HEARD OR OTHER MUSIC TO BE FAIR BUT MY DISDAIN ONLY ñ
WAS ONLY AMPLIFIED BY A YOGA INSTRUCTOR DECIDED TO PLAY THAT
SONG DURING A YOGA CLASS I THOUGHT THE WORLD HAD GONE MAD.
IT'S CRAZY TO ME THAT SHE HAS SMARTER THINGS TO SAY THAN HER
OWN PRESIDENT.
AND THIS ISN'T THE ONLY STATEMENT SHE IS MADE IN
REGARD TO POLITICS.
SHE SAID OTHER THINGS RECENTLY THAT I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED BY.
I SHOULD'VE GIVEN HER MORE OF A SHOT TO BEGIN WITH.
>>YES, YOU SHOULD HAVE.
>>I WON'T DO THAT MOVING FORWARD.
BUT IT IS AMAZING THAT BERNIE SANDERS KNOWS WHO SHE IS AND
AGAIN IT IS AMAZING THAT SHE HAS
WAY SMARTER THINGS TO SAY THEN OUR OWN PRESIDENT.
>>THE INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY ALONE.
THE FACT THAT SHE HAS HAD THIS IMPETUS COME OF THIS INSTINCT
TO GO RESEARCH ABOUT FDR.
THAT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR HER.
IF YOU FOLLOW HER ON INSTAGRAM YOU WILL SEE JUST A BUNCH OF
RANDOM THINGS LIKE THIS PERSON DID MY DANCE MOVES OR TOOK A
PHOTO WEARING THE SAME THING THAT I AM WEARING, AND THEN IT
WILL JUST BE RANDOM DIATRIBE LIKE THIS.
LIKE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FDR DIDN'T START MORE PROGRAMS AND
WHY IT TOOK SO MANY YEARS AND ñ YOU'RE LIKE WHAT YOU TALKING
ABOUT? THAT IS AMAZING.
SHE DOES WHAT SHE HAS TO DO TO SELL RECORDS.
AND SOMETIMES SHE JUST HAS TO GO ñ NAH, NAH, NAH, NAH-
>> PLEASE STOP.
>> WITH DIFFERENT WORDS BUT SHE DOES IT 50 TIMES.
>> I'M GOING TO COMMENT ON ME, BERNIE IS MORE IN TOUCH THAN I
AM ñ ANYWAY BUT FOR ALL I KNOW ABOUT HER SHE SINGS SMART THINGS
ABOUT POLITICS SO SHE IS SMART.
GROUPS LIKE P TRIPLE C A PROGRESSIVE CHANGE CAMPAIGN
COMMITTEE HAVE BEEN PUSHING FOR PEOPLE TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST
THE IDEA OF CUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY.
THE WAY THEY DO IT IS TO SAY NO, WE SHOULD ADD TO SOCIAL
SECURITY AND INCREASE YOUR BENEFITS.
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BECAME A THING AND NOW WE ARE PUSHING AND
PULLING INSTEAD OF GOING IN ONE DIRECTION.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR ACTUALLY BALANCING THE
CONVERSATION IN THIS COUNTRY.
