"12:53
It’s not only $1 trillion in tax breaks
12:57
to the top 1%.
12:58
It's a huge tax break
13:00
for large corporations as well.
13:01
So why do they need to have a tax break?
13:04
I could use a tax break.
13:06
I mean, I'm being real.
13:07
I know, I pay like 26% taxes.
13:10
Like, I could use that money.
13:12
[Bernie] Look, these people on top
13:15
are not nice people.
13:16
They want more and more.
13:19
They don't have $1 million.
13:20
That's chump change.
13:22
I mean, we’re talking about hundreds
13:24
of billions of dollars in some cases.
13:26
When you live here,
13:27
it feels like a poor country.
13:29
[Bernie] Yeah, that's a good point.
13:31
I mean, when you say we're the wealthiest,
13:32
like you said that several times yesterday.
13:34
And I was like,
13:35
is it true, though, because, like —
13:37
That’s a very good point.
13:39
In aggregate, that's what, look —
13:41
if we're sitting here,
13:42
and I'm worth $1 billion
13:44
and all of you are broke,
13:45
you add it all together, you divide it,
13:47
we're very wealthy.
13:48
Right? We’re all worth $100 million.
13:51
But I got a billion and you got nothing.
13:53
That's America.
13:55
And if I say that I think
13:57
the United States should do what
13:58
every other major country on earth does,
14:01
guarantee health care to all
14:02
people as a human right,
14:04
are you gonna think I'm a communist
14:05
and a terrible person?
14:08
I think if people listen,
14:09
if you talk the way that you did,
14:11
and you're so reasonable,
14:12
like they've painted you in a bad light,
14:15
and it actually makes me very angry,
14:17
because, you know,
14:18
you see things and you believe it.
14:20
I'll just be honest.
14:21
I haven't really seen you talk before.
14:23
I haven't really, like, follow —
14:25
I don't follow politics that much.
14:27
And so the last couple days before this,
14:29
I started watching some of your speeches.
14:30
And I started like,
14:31
watching your interviews,
14:33
and I was shocked.
14:34
I was like, “Oh.”
14:35
Not as bad as they had told you, huh?
14:37
This is not how he's portrayed
14:38
in the media, right?
14:41
[John] We’re told that the biggest divide in America
14:44
is between left and right.
14:47
But Bernie came here
14:48
to flip that story on its head.
14:49
[Bernie] I think that whether you're in rural
14:51
West Virginia or in Burlington, Vermont,
14:54
you got the same exact issues.
14:58
And I think we don't let people
15:00
divide us up.
15:01
We got to come together
15:02
to fight for all of us."
