This was an excellent interview. Thank you Margaret Hoover!

If only Biden could muster the enthusiasm, zeal and energy of Bernie Sanders, then a Biden win in November could be a very strong possibility!

[norinesimmons]

I will always have nothing but respect for this guy

[jamesfrangione]

Margaret Hoover and Firing Line...the best 30 minutes on TV. Civil, substantive, and informative. Quality...each and every time.

[MinkytheMinkY]

Love this back and forth. Interviewer is actually being fair and it makes for good watching. Rare.

[LiaLande.Billie]

The most honest politician I've ever seen & heard, no doubt.

[magmateaustralia]

Tell me why this guy isn't the Democratic lead, taking it up directly to Trump...??? G

[sunnysnh]

Great interview. Sanders is rational and straight-forward.

[wayneasiam]

I'm a conservative. I also love your show. You actually ask liberals real questions.

[miaroberts]

I wish Bernie was president...thank God we still have him

[TugHillGuy]

Bernie Sanders is the king of magical thinking and has a really poor understanding of economics but his predictions about what might happen in the 2020 election turned out to be pretty close to what actually happened. Some day I'd love to see Bernie Sanders talk about his definition of what constitutes a right.

Why doesn't Biden offer people something worth voting for? At the very minimum Medicare For All and UBI during pandemic. The problem is both Party's are dominated by Wall Street and the military-industrial complex. If we wanted something different then it is WE who lost our chance!

[MinkytheMinkY]

Once again, Bernie is campaigning harder for the nominee, than the nominee himself. If Biden loses, it's because he's not campaigning at all.

Average rent is $1, 200. If a worker makes $15/hr, "affordable" rent would be $650/month.

In other words: $15/hr is TOO LOW

[herika]

17:42 Bernie’s prediction on the election outcome... It is very interesting to watch this months after the election.

[vivientoft]

Thank you Bernie for fighting on for progressive causes.

[shinseung]

why did people vote for Biden or Bernie in the primaries?

[Sam-bwpg]

This guy energizes voters way more than Biden

[jerzen]

I would feel a lot more confident if Bernie were the Democratic nominee. As he clearly should have been. Not me, Us!

If people don't like the American Dream they can always emigrate (and therefore make room for immigrants). Independent, hard-working, knowledgeable and creative effort built that country. Not government, not any part of the nation, but those values described above. Mistakes have been made (Robber Barons) but most of those 'success stories' have been rooted in failure to understand and insist upon the full (almost philosophical) appreciation of both Capitalism and Democracy. Government money and cowardice made those errors possible. e.g. Land grants, not using the anti-trust legislation adequately, etc.
