I AM TOLD BY THE ESTABLISHMENT HERE IN THE U.S.

THAT BERNIE SANDERS IS NOT PRACTICAL, HE CAN'T GET THINGS

DONE.

THAT'S FUNNY, BECAUSE ALTER NET DID AN INTERESTING

ANALYSIS.

HE EXPLAINS THAT --

>>FOR ALL THE REST OF THE TIME, FROM 1994 TO NOW, THE HOUSE HAS

BEEN CONTROLLED BY REPUBLICANS.

SO WHO IS THE AMENDMENT KING?

YOU CAN SEE FROM THE GRAPHICS, BUT THERE IS.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE

ANY SENSE, IF THE REPUBLICANS CONTROLLED IT FOR ALL THAT TIME,

WOULDN'T IT BE A REPUBLICAN THAT PASSED THE MOST AMENDMENTS INTO

THE BILLS THEY PASSED?

IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT, LET ME

EXPLAIN -- THEY WILL HAVE BILLS LIKE A BUDGET BILL THAT WILL

PASS NO MATTER WHAT, THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY AMENDMENTS

CAN YOU GET PUT IN THERE TO ACTUALLY AFFECT CHANGE?

AND HOW

CAN YOU GET A BIPARTISAN COALITION TO PUT THOSE AMENDED

IN THE BILL AND HAVE THEM BECOME LAW?

IT TURNS OUT IT WASN'T A

REPUBLICAN WHO HAD THE MOST AMOUNT OF AMENDMENTS THAT WHOLE

TIME, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOM DELAY OR DENNIS HASTERT OR PAUL

RYAN OR SOMEBODY, IT WASN'T ANY OF THEM.

AND IT WASN'T ANY OTHER

ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRAT, IT WAS BERNIE SANDERS.

I THOUGHT HE

COULDN'T GET ANYTHING DONE.

YOU SEE HOW THE ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA

LIES TO YOU?

AND THEY SMEARED BERNIE SANDERS ALL THE TIME.

BILL RICHARDSON ALSO USED TO BE A CONGRESSMAN, LATER HE BECAME

GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO, HE SAID ABOUT PRESENTERS AT THE TIME --

>>BILL, WHAT WERE YOU UP TO?

I DON'T REMEMBER YOU PASSING A LOT

OF AMENDMENTS.

IT TURNS OUT IT IS POSSIBLE.

AND WHAT IS THE

KEY?

JUST TRY, YOU'D BE AMAZED WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH IF YOU

JUST TRY.

BERNIE WOULD TRY OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND HE WOULD

SUCCEED MORE THAN ANY OTHER COLLEAGUE.

NOW, BARNEY FRANK,

WHO FAMOUSLY STOOD UP FOR HILLARY CLINTON DURING THE

ELECTIONS AND TOLD US, WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO?

LET THE

REPUBLICANS GET ALL OF THE BANKER MONEY INSTEAD OF JUST

80%?

YES, BARNEY, GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS, YOU SCHMUCK.

THAT

IS PRACTICAL, THAT'S REAL, THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE INSTEAD

OF JUST GETTING YOUR ASS HANDED TO YOU FOR DECADE AFTER DECADE.

ANYWAY, BACK THEN HE SAID ABOUT BERNIE AND OTHER INDEPENDENTS --

AND THERE ARE ALMOST NO OTHER INDEPENDENCE SO THIS WAS A SHOT

AT BERNIE --

>>AND THEN HE WENT ON TO SAY --

>>NO IT DOESN'T. AS YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE, HE PASSED

TREMENDOUS AMENDMENT INTO THOSE LEGISLATIONS, AND I WILL TELL

YOU WHAT THEY WERE IN A SECOND.

BUT WHAT BARNEY FRANK IS

ACTUALLY SAYING IS HE'S ANNOYING THE REST OF US BY POINTING OUT

HOW CORRUPT WE ARE.

WHY WON'T HE JUST BE AS CORRUPT AS WE ARE?

HE'S SO ANNOYING WITH HIS HOLIER THAN THOU POLICY, ACTUALLY

GETTING IT DONE, WHAT WE ARE SITTING HERE TAKING DONOR MONEY

AND SERVING THEM.

THAT IS WHY THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT

HATES BERNIE SANDERS, AND PROGRESSIVES WHO ARE NOT

CORRUPT, MORE THAN THEY HATE REPUBLICANS.

REPUBLICANS, THEY

ARE PLAYING PATTYCAKE WITH.

THEY ARE ALL PART OF THE SAME SYSTEM.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

IF BERNIE WINS, THE DEMOCRATIC

ESTABLISHMENT DOESN'T KEEP THEIR JOBS.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEIR

CORRUPTION MATTERS AND IT COSTS THEM THEIR JOB.

SO TO THEM

BERNIE SANDERS IS MORE OF A THREAT THAN DONALD TRUMP.

THAT'S

WHERE THEY BEEN ATTACKING HIM FOR DECADES NOW, EVEN THOUGH

THEY ARE 100% WRONG ON THE FACTS.

ZAID JILANI EXPLAINS --

>>TO BE FAIR I MENTIONED HILLARY CLINTON EARLIER, SHE WAS

IN THE SENATE, THIS WAS THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

BUT

BARNEY FRANK WAS IN THE HOUSE, HE DIDN'T PASS THE MOST, HE HAD

A LOT OF POWER AND WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW BERNIE COULDN'T BE

EFFECTIVE.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING, BARNEY?

I KNOW, COLLECTING CASH

FROM YOUR DONORS.

SO LET ME GIVE YOU THE EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF

AMENDMENTS BERNIE SANDERS GOT PAST.

THE CORPORATE CRIME

ACCOUNT ABILITY, HE SHAMED THEM INTO IT.

HE SAID REPUBLICANS,

ARGUE FOR LAW AND ORDER?

BOOM, GOT IT PASSED.

ALL THE WAY BACK

IN 1998, HE'S BEEN ON THIS SAME WARPATH, EVERYONE SHOULD GET TO

LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM, COLLEGE SHOULD BE MORE AFFORDABLE.

HOLDING THE IRS ACCOUNTABLE, DEEPLY POPULAR, HE EMBARRASSED

THEM INTO ANOTHER VOTE WHERE HE WON.

BACK IN 2001 HE GOT

EXPANDING HEALTHCARE PASS, INCREASING FUNDING FOR HEATING

FOR THE POOR, WITH A DEEPLY REPUBLICAN HOUSE BACK IN 2004,

STILL GETS IT PASSED.

FIGHTING CORPORATE WELFARE AND PROTECTING

AGAINST NUCLEAR DISASTERS, 2005, GETS IT PASSED.

NOW WE GO TO THE

SENATE, GREENING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, RESTRICTING THE

BAILOUT TO PROTECT U.S. WORKERS -- NOW, BOTH REPUBLICANS AND

DEMOCRATS AT THE TIME WANTED THE MONEY TO GO TO BANKER DONORS,

BUT BERNIE EMBARRASSED THEM, MADE A PUBLIC VOTE, AND WON.

YOU

WIN BY FIGHTING, YOU WIN BY TRYING.

HELPING VETERANS' KIDS,

THAT WAS A WIN AS WELL.

EXPOSING CORRUPTION IN THE

MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

IN A REPUBLICAN SENATE -- WELL, AT

THAT POINT, YOU'VE GOT REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS IN

THERE, IT'S PRETTY CLOSE AT THAT POINT.

YOU THINK THE DEMOCRATS

DON'T LOVE THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX?

HE

EXPOSES THEIR CORRUPTION AND GETS A WIN.

SUPPORT FOR TREATING

AUTISM IN MILITARY HEALTHCARE.

WIN AFTER WIN.

BUILDING, MOST OF

THE TIME, BIPARTISAN COALITIONS.

WHAT HAPPENED, I THOUGHT HE

COULDN'T BE EFFECTIVE?

THE MEDIA AND HILLARY CLINTON'S TEAM

REPEATED THAT LIE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

HE'S NOT EFFECTIVE, IT'S

NOT PRACTICAL.

YOU NEVER DID AN OUNCE OF RESEARCH ON IT, DID

YOU?

NOW, ZAID SAYS --

>>WHAT HAPPENED?

I THOUGHT HE WILL NEVER GET A DEAL WITH THE

REPUBLICANS.

IT TURNS OUT IF YOU TRY AND YOU STICK TO YOUR GUNS

YOU ACTUALLY CAN GET DEALS DONE.

IT'S NOT A MATTER OF BEING

HOLIER THAN THOU, IT'S NOT A MATTER OF BEING PURE, IT'S ABOUT

ACTUALLY CARING TO DELIVER FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

AND IF YOU

DO IT THE RIGHT WAY YOU CAN SOMETIMES EVEN GET REPUBLICANS

TO GO ALONG.

WHAT IS JOHN MCCAIN GOING TO DO AFTER BERNIE SANDERS

SAYS ARE YOU GOING TO HELP VETERANS OR NOT?

THAT'S

EFFECTIVE, THAT'S PRACTICAL.

A COUPLE MORE HERE --

>>THAT IS A GIANT WIN.

HE WORKED WITH SOME RIGHT-WING

LEGISLATORS THERE, WHO ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE FEDERAL RESERVE,

TO SAY WE AREN'T GOING TO SHUT DOWN THE FEDERAL RESERVE, WE ARE

JUST ASKING FOR AN AUDIT.

YOU ARE TELLING US WE CAN'T KNOW

WHAT YOUR MONEY IS, WHAT YOU SPEND MONEY ON?

HOW ARE YOU

STRUCTURING THE BAILOUTS?

THESE ARE SUCH FAIR REQUESTS, BUT THE

ESTABLISHMENT, THE LACKEYS THAT THEY ARE, HAD NEVER EVEN

BOTHERED TO ASK.

BUT WHEN BERNIE ASKED, AND BROUGHT TOGETHER A

BIPARTISAN COALITION, THEY DID IT AND WE GOT THE AUDIT OF THE

FEDERAL RESERVE.

MAY BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE LEGISLATOR OF OUR

TIME, AND THEY TOLD YOU THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

ONE LAST LIE OF

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS YES, MAYBE AS A LEGISLATOR -- ALTHOUGH THEY

WOULD NEVER CONCEDE THAT, MAYBE THEY SHOULD DO RESEARCH AND BE

IN THE NEWS BUSINESS -- BUT AS AN EXECUTIVE HE CAN'T GET THINGS

DONE.

HE WAS ONLY AN EXECUTIVE ONCE, WHEN HE WAS MAYOR OF

BURLINGTON.

SO LET'S GO TO THAT TIME AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED --

>>HE'S BEEN RIGHT FOR 40 TO 50 YEARS, THEY HOLD THAT AGAINST

HIM, WE SEE THAT AS A REASON TO VOTE FOR HIM, THEY SEE IT AS A

REASON TO AGAINST HIM.

THIS GUY NEVER CHANGES, HE SAYS HE'S FOR

PROGRESSIVE POLITICS, HOW BAD.

WHY IS THAT BAD?

THAT'S GREAT.

LAST PART OF BURLINGTON --

>>SO WHEN BERNIE SANDERS TALKS ABOUT A POLITICAL REVOLUTION,

AND ANDERSON COOPER SNEERS AT HIM, AS HE DID DURING THE

DEBATES, AND GOES, YEAH, BUT HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET IT DONE,

BERNIE?

HE SAYS A POLITICAL REVOLUTION IS MORE PEOPLE COME

OUT AND VOTE, WE GET REAL CHANGE, WE GET THE LEGISLATORS

THAT WE THINK WILL BRING YOU THAT CHANGE, THAT'S THE

POLITICAL REVOLUTION, AND THEN WE GET IT DONE.

RIGHT, GETTING

MORE PEOPLE TO VOTE?

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, BERNIE.

WELL, HE'S

ALREADY DONE IT.

THAT IS A STUNNING NUMBER.

IT DIDN'T GO UP

BY 25% -- VOTER TURNOUT DOUBLED WHEN BERNIE SANDERS WAS MAYOR OF

BURLINGTON, VERMONT.

EVERYTHING THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA TOLD YOU

ABOUT BERNIE SANDERS IS A LIE.

LOOK AT ALL THE RESEARCH, DO

YOUR OWN RESEARCH -- THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET, BECAUSE NOW WE

CAN DO THAT, AND WE ARE NOT STUCK ON THAT PROPAGANDA CALLED

CABLE NEWS.

SO, NOW, BY THE WAY, ONE FINAL PIECE OF THE LIE NOT

HAVING TO DO WITH WHAT A GREAT JOB HE DID GETTING ALL THIS

LEGISLATION PASSED -- THEY TELL YOU BERNIE SANDERS, FINE, YOU

GOT US, HE WAS AN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATOR, FINE, HE'S THE MOST

POPULAR POLITICIAN IN THE COUNTRY, NOW SOME OF THEM ARE

EVEN SAYING FINE, HE PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE DONALD TRUMP -- OH,

BUT THEY WOULD HAVE RUN ADS AGAINST HIM.

REALLY?

IS THAT HOW

ELECTIONS WORK YOU GUYS ARE SO SMART -- BUT ALL OF THAT IS

IRRELEVANT AS WE ARE JUST GOING TO ELIMINATE HIM BASED ON AGE.

IN THE NEXT ELECTION IS GOING TO BE 79.

HEY, ESTABLISHMENT, WHO

IS YOUR LEADING CANDIDATE?

YOU KNOW WHAT, THE GUIDE TOURING

IOWA AND GOING TO ALL THESE DIFFERENT EARLY VOTING STATES IS

MAYBE THE GUY WHO SHOULD HAVE ONE ALL ALONG, JOE BIDEN.

AND

HE'S KIND OF A REGULAR GUY.

HE TAKES THE TRAIN EVERY ONCE IN A

WHILE.

BUT THE ESTABLISHMENT LOVES HIM.

JUST A QUICK

QUESTION, HOW OLD WILL JOE BIDEN BE IN THE 2020 ELECTIONS?

78.

SO

BERNIE WILL BE 79, JOE BIDEN WILL BE 78.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I

THOUGHT AGE WAS DETERMINATIVE, WE COULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER BERNIE

BECAUSE OF HOW OLD HE IS.

BUT NOT ONE PERSON HAS WRITTEN ABOUT

HOW JOE BIDEN WOULD BE TOO OLD TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.

HMM.

IT'S

ALMOST AS IF THE ESTABLISHMENT DOESN'T LIKE TO HAVE THEIR BOAT

ROCKED, AND THEY THINK BERNIE SANDERS COULD ACTUALLY GET

THINGS DONE, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE AFRAID OF.
