the oligarch Tour on Friday he spoke in Kenosha Wisconsin before a pack crowd more than 4,000 people there with about a thousand in the Overflow room as part of this fight the oligarch tour Senator Bernie Sanders is going to Republican districts in Wisconsin and Michigan and then I think he's going to be going throughout the country just speaking to workers about how these oligarchs are screwing them take a look at this crowd size in Warren Michigan a packed crowd once again and let me show you some of the highlights here Senator 1:00 Bernie Sanders was not holding back let's play it but I have to tell you that for the first time in our 250e history we have a president who is turning his back on democracy and allying allying us with [Music] [Applause] authoritarianism no Mr president Ukraine did not start this war no Mr President selinski is not a dictator Vladimir Putin [Applause] is we must not abandon the people of Ukraine who were invaded by Putin now in Warren Michigan Senator Bernie Sanders was also speaking with sha Fain 2:08 who heads the United Auto Workers Union and unions are getting absolutely screwed by Trump and these oligarchs here's what sha Fain had to say let's play it talking about these billionaires that pull the strings and they're drooling all over cutting all these programs that benefit people you know when they do these things they don't see a grandparent they don't see a single parent just trying to get by they don't care about a retiree or a veteran or a person with a disability trying to live with some dignity that's right they see dollar signs and sooner or later when they continue to see dollar signs they're going to see picket signs [Applause] because the only thing that's won decent 3:03 health care for the working class in this country has been the labor movement and people willing to fight for it now I want to share with you the full speech by Senator Bernie Sanders there's really no point of clipping this or that because it's just such a good speech you have to hear the whole thing the same way you listen to that full speech in kosha it doesn't do it justice just to do Clips so let me share with you the full speech by Senator Bernie Sanders on Saturday in Warren Michigan let's play it so brothers and sisters we got some problems in this country we have a an Administration that is leading us to oligarchy and an Administration that is leading us to an authoritarian form of 4:03 [Applause] society and an Administration that is leading us toward kleptocracy and what I see happening and I was just in kosha yesterday we were in Altuna Wisconsin earlier today I see this incredible CH you know how many people we have here got a bunch of rooms we got over 6,000 [Applause] people so what I see happening All Over America is people not just Democrats or Independents but Republicans as well saying we fought for too long and too many people died for democracy see we're not going 5:02 [Applause] doing you know it's a funny thing that we are right here in Abraham Lincoln High School and I thank the high school for allowing us to use their facilities so I want to tell you a little story uh in Vermont on Memorial Day I usually go to a parade a beautiful parade one of the largest in the state in a uh town called viren's Vermont in the northern part of the state and at the end of the parade people assemble at Town green and people give speeches and the organizers always bring up some kids from the high school to say a few words and what they asked the kids from the high school uh to say one of the speeches is to recite Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address you all remember that and let me let me remind you what 6:00 he said because it was really preent and it was really quite extraordinary here he was in 1863 I think it was a few days after the terrible Battle of Gettysburg thousands and thousands maybe tens of thousands of soldiers had died in the fight against slavery and he looks out he looks out on that field and this is what he says and you'll all remember this he said that we he highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the People by the people for the people shall not perish from the Earth 7:04 [Applause] and that is why we are here today we're here today to in fact make sure that after so many people in our country have fought who fought and died for democracy that we are going to be stay a government of the People by the people and for the people and I want to tell you what we are up against because you got to know what this struggle is about and I think you all do and I want you to think back just six or so weeks ago when Donald Trump was Ina [Music] [Applause] inaugurated now think about who the people were now I had a box seat for whatever reason I got pushed to the front of that s like three feet away and right behind Trump sitting behind them were the three wealthiest 8:07 people in America Mr musk Mr Bezos and Mr Zuckerberg that's not all behind them were 13 other billionaires who Trump had nominated to head major government agencies in other words they weren't hiding anything they were telling the American people and the world that instead of a government of the People by the people and for the people we have now become a government of the billionaire class for the billionaire class and by the billionaire class that is what brothers and sisters we are taking 9:02 on and I want to say something that I really fully do not understand maybe we have some psychiatrists in the audience and I mean that seriously who can help us here because look everybody wants to make money everybody wants to live comfortably nothing new about that in this country today in Vermont breaks my heart and I'm sure in Michigan we have major addiction problems right we all know people who are addicted to drugs and what's happening to their lives we know people who are alcoholic we know people who smoke too much people who are you know overweight eat too much people who have addictions but I will tell you what the most serious addiction is in this country boy it's a smart group of people that's right it is the addiction of greed by the billionaire class now you might think that if 10:05 somebody had a few hundred million dollars had their own Jet Plane had their own island or whatever these guys do it might be enough but it is never enough they are addicted to more and more and more and they don't care how many people they step over in order to satisfy their greed and right now what they are in the process of trying to do and it's why I'm here in Warren to stop them what they want to do is at a time when we have more income and wealth inequality than we have ever had when the billionaire class the people on top have never ever ever had it so good what they want to do is give over a trillion dollars in tax rates to 1% and they do that by cutting $880 11:04 billion from Medicaid over $200 billion from nutrition and other programs that the working class of this country needs so in other words this is the Robin Hood proposal in Reverse instead of taking for the rich giving to the poor then taking from the poor and giving them to the rich we ain't going to let that happen and I want to explain for a moment what $880 billion in Medicaid means it means that when in the midst of a health care crisis millions of children will be thrown off of the health insurance they have if you have a mom or a dad in a nursing home or somebody who may need nursing home understand that two out of three people in nursing homes get there 12:01 through Medicaid payments cut Medicaid going be harder to get people into nursing homes quality of care will deteriorate we have 32 million people in community getting their healthare in community health centers something that I work very hard on Primary Health Care 40% of the revenue for community health centers comes from Medicaid SL Medicaid it'll be harder for millions of people be at the primary care the dental care The Vision Care that they need we are not going to allow them to slash Medicaid in order to give tax rates to the [Applause] [Applause] rich now the reason we are in Warren and War in kosha and War in Altuna is that all of these congressional districts 13:01 have Republican members of Congress who won by a very slim [Applause] vote your congressman is Mr James John [Applause] James apparently you know Mr James so my request of Mr James James is very simple you know I'm from Vermont and I am here doing a town meeting in Warren Michigan Mr James I think your constituents here in Warren would love to do a town meeting with [Applause] you and I think that town meeting should be respectful people he has the right to make his case let him speak you have the right to ask him questions and I I think the question that is most on people's minds is why would any member of 14:05 Congress vote for massive tax breaks for billionaires and then cut Medicaid education and [Applause] nutrition but Mr Musk and Mr Trump are not only going after Medicaid and nutrition programs they're going after Social [Music] Security I think I speak for every member of the Senate telling you that we get calls every single day from Seniors people with disabilities say I'm trying to reach Social Security I got a problem I want to talk to somebody it's taken forever to do that in fact shamefully some 30,000 people die every year waiting for 15:04 an understaffed Social Security they are way on the staff today to approve disability benefits you got that so people are sick they're on disability takes them forever to get their issue dealt with and they die in between what musk and Trump are proposing a massive cuts to Social Security which would make it harder for people to get their claims addressed that would mean more people will die that is not [Applause] acceptable and I'll tell you what else they are trying to do I one of the honors of my Senate life was I shared for a while the US committee on Veterans 16:03 Affairs and I'm very proud of that and I have the opportunity to meet people great veterans not only from Vermont but all over the country and I think no matter what your political view may be I think there is nobody or very few people in America who would disagree that when a man or a woman puts their lives on the line to defend us we honor our commit to those [Applause] veterans but at the behest of Mr musk the VA has announced that they intend to lay off 83,000 employees at the veterans 17:00 and that will mean for veterans to go into VA Health Care a a deterioration in the quality of care they get for veterans are waiting for their benefits it will take them longer to get now just yesterday Foreign Wars the second largest veterans organization in the country said quote We Now call upon VA to reconsider its planed reduction of 83,000 employees the VFW is right I call on the Trump Administration resend that [Applause] order we are not going to balance the budget on the backs of our veterans or our seniors I'll tell you something else in their proposal the Republican proposal not only they have 880 billion in cuts to Medicaid they have $230 billion in cuts to nutrition 18:06 programs now you tell me in what Universe in what world in what religion is it acceptable to give tax breaks to the C to the very richest people and cut food programs for Hungry kids that is just disgusting and grossly [Applause] immoral obviously one of the ways you dismantle programs is you cut Staffing you cut massive amounts of workers at Social Security of va they can't deliver the services that people need so right now they are in Trump and musk are in the process of laying off hundreds of thousands of federal employees and put 19:01 yourself we have any federal employees right here yeah all right and we thank them for their [Applause] service and I can tell you that and it's not hard to imagine you're a federal employee to everyone's on pins and needles they're wondering they're going to get a letter from Mr musk tomorrow telling them that they're gone people have worked for years people have done great work gone out on the streets now I want you to think for a moment if Mr musk can do this arbitrarily fire hundreds of thousands of federal employees think about what will happen when the re technological revolution of artificial intelligence and Robotics really gets hold in this country think about it everybody knows that this revolution is coming and that means that many millions of workers in the private sector are going to be 20:04 displaced if musk can simply throw out onto the street for no decent reason hundreds of thousands of federal employees what do you think they're going to do when Robotics and artificial intelligence comes they're going to replace those workers and they're going to throw them out on the street as well this is a Prelude to what they're going to do in the private sector now I happen to believe that technology unto itself is not a bad thing if it can result in increased worker productivity that's great but what we want to make sure is that workers benefit from that worker productivity increase [Music] 21:05 we watch CEOs all over this country say hey we got a machine to replace you we don't need you anymore you're out on the street now what we are up against is not only the Incredible greed of the billionaire class we're up against something that we really have never experienced in this country and I'm not going to stand up here and tell you with a straight face that politicians Never Lie never stretch the truth a little bit occasionally that happens but what we're up against right now and this is enormously important is we're up against the phenomenon that we have never seen and that is the big lie the big lie is not just stretching the truth big lie is not just 22:04 fibbing the big lie is creating a parallel universe a set of ideas that either have no basis in reality or in the great scheme of things are nowhere near the most important concerns that the American people have what some of these people on the right are doing is saying outrageously false statements they say it over and over again and then they have the right-wing social media blast it out to hundreds of millions of people until people actually believe it and then and then rather than having the kinds of discussions and debate that we should have in a Democratic Society what are the issues you have your view I have my you let's debate let's come up to 23:00 some consensus or we'll vote on it whatever it may be we spend half our lives trying to refute outrageous lies let me just give you a few examples which you're familiar with Trump claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from him and that he won by a landslide a lie all of you remember the terrible January 6th in Resurrection where they tried to prevent well Trump claimed that that was a day of love and by the way pardon all of those insurrectionist Trump has claimed that millions and millions of undocumented people vote in American elections a li Trump has claimed that climate change is a hoax originating in China a 24:03 lie and very recently Trump has claimed that Ukraine started the horrific war with Russ and I give you an idea how bad this is a couple of months ago and I was involved in this there was there was what we would call we call in Washington A continuing resolution of CR keep the government going and people Democrats Republicans work together four months and we had I was chairman of the health education committee a lot of Provisions in there which would have cut the cost of prescription drugs would have expanded Healthcare etc etc we were involved in that debate anyhow months and months of discussion debate arguments finally an agreement was reached literally the day before that was going to be voted on and passed in the house Mr musk sent out e on Twitter email that said there was a 43% increase in salaries for members of 25:06 Congress tell your member of Congress not to vote for it they're going to get a 43% increase a total lie it was a 3.4 inflation that's all it was percent increase total lie and as a result of what musk did and the emails that he sent out Republicans refused to go forward and that bill died and it doesn't stop if some of you have heard Trump's State of the Union speech he claimed he picked up on something that musk had started and that as you all heard Millions zillions of people who were 200 150 years of age 500 years of age they're all receiving Social Security benefits all right I got two questions why would he do that what is the think think no what is if you say to people 26:05 the arage American you know that social security system is really corrupt you got all these people are 200 years of age they're getting it's all corrupt what is the goal all right I can't raise one vers raise the I can't hear anybody yeah it's right yes yes what else you got yep that's right all right all of this stuff is to tell you give up on your government government can't do anything it's all fraud Social Security is broken it's fraudulent Medicare Medicaid it's all and if you do that what is the end result the privatization of everything you're going to give all this stuff over to large corporations so the truth is the truth is that well over 27:04 99% of Social Security checks are going out to the people who earned those [Applause] checks 70 million people and nobody who is 150 or 200 gets a social Security check absolute lie now now the purpose of all this lying I is not just to push his right-wing ideology it's more than that it is and this is big stuff that we got to stay on what they are trying to do is deflect attention away from the real issues the very serious issues that the working class this country is facing and those are issues that musk and Trump do not 28:04 want to address because it's not in their financial interests to do so so as a case in point Trump gave his State of the Union speech it went on for about 28 hours I don't it was the longest State of the Union I think it was 100 minutes and in his 100 this is what is extraordinary it's not what he said it's what he didn't say he spoke for over an hour and a half and he almost completely ignored the issues that are keeping Working Families up at night as they worry about how they are going to survive in these very difficult times so let's do something radical you 29:03 ready to do something [Applause] radical let's do what president Trump did not do let us take a real look at what is going on in America today okay all right we are the richest country we are the richest country in the history of the world but you know what 60% 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck now unlike Trump I grew up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck and I know a little bit about that as I expect many of you do so what does living paycheck to paycheck mean tell me raise your hands and be loud yes right here means surviving how you survive yes it means 30:05 little money what is it yes stress hold it one at time yeah survival exhaus exhaustion fear fear of what a fear of everything what medical care yes ma'am no money for emergencies yes making difficult choices ma'am okay all all any right there yeah no future all right here is here is the reality and I think you've all said it in in a few minutes millions of Americans today are wondering how they're going to be able to pay their rent and what happens if the landlord 31:02 raises their rent what do they do where rents are going up all over the what do you do with the landlord raises your rent you got to move where you going to move to you got to take your kid out of school where's going to go she G to go people are worried that your child or your parent becomes sick you can't afford to take that person to a doctor or you cannot afford the prescription drugs that your mom or your kid may need what's going on today in America is people are worried just something as simple as basic your car breaks down you got an old car right your car breaks down and the guy at the repair shop says it's going to cost you a th000 bucks to get it fixed now what happens if you don't have the th000 Bucks you can't get your car fix if you can't get your car fix you can't get to work if you can't get to work you're going to lose your job if you lose your job how you going to survive that's because millions of people don't have 32:00 $1,000 in the bank in America today and this is a remarkable remarkable fact it is not just that our life expectancy you all know what life expect how long we live it's about four years shorter than people in other wealthy countries and we should wonder why that is so but here's something that is never talked about and I want to throw that out to you I want you to digest it if you are working class in this country your life expectancy on average will be seven years shorter than if you're wealthy do you all understand what that is about that means that being working class in this country in many respects is like a death sentence your you're going to live long life you're working class seven years 33:00 short why is that a stress all right what stress is about stress is not some concept oh we're stressed out stress is a physiological reaction yes and there is you know doctors frame it as as the the uh it's the disease of of poor people who have to struggle every sing single day stress wrecks your body and it has a terrible impact on your mind if you have to worry every single day how you going to survive how do I feed the kids how do I pay the rent what happens if I get a call that I have to be at work at midnight for the midnight shift you add all that together people are living on pins and needles day after day year after year stress kills and in the richest country in the history of the world millions of people 34:02 should not have shorter lives than they otherwise should because of the economy that we [Applause] have but it's not just domestic policy that we have got got to be concerned about under Trump we are all proud I think we wake up in the morning we know it it's part of who we are as Americans we are proud that we are the longest standing democracy in the world you know and we are proud We are proud and I mean this sincerely that all over the world people read our Declaration of Independence they read the Constitution and they say you know what that's what we want our country to be like a country 35:01 that is free a country that is democratic but I have to tell you that for the first time in our 250e history we have a president who is turning his back on democracy and allying allying us with [Music] [Applause] authoritarianism no oh Mr president Ukraine did not start this war no Mr President selinski is not a dictator Vladimir Putin [Applause] is we we must not abandon the people of Ukraine who were invaded by 36:03 [Applause] Putin this country must stand for democracy not dictatorship and there is another issue that I have worked long and hard on and that is as all of you know there was a terrible attack by Kamas against Israel 1200 innocent people were killed Israel had a right to respond but Israel did not have the right to wage an allout war against the Palestinian [Applause] people and as a result of that all out War 45,000 people most of whom most of whom are women and children 37:03 are dead and as a result of that war well over 100,000 have been injured and as a result of that war the infrastructure the health care the schools the Water Systems the Wastewater plants in Gaza have been virtually destroyed now tragically Trump wants to follow Biden's very m Aken policy and provide more weapons to netanyahu's right-wing extremist government I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that Netanyahu does not get those [Applause] arms and while we have got to be very Vigilant every day that's the what Trump and musk and these guys are doing and fightback that is not good enough it's not good enough just to be on the 38:04 defense we have got to play offense as [Applause] well and here is a secret that the corporate media will not tell you and that is the progressive agenda is wildly popular all over this country [Applause] it is exactly what the American people want and at the top of the list whether you're Democrat Republican independent you know that we have a corrupt campaign Finance [Applause] system this is America billionaires should not be allowed to buy [Applause] 39:04 politicians it is beyond insane Beyond insane that musk was able to contribute $270 million to Trump's campaign and then his reward he becomes the most powerful person in the [Applause] government but it is not just Musk is not just musk and Republicans it is democratic billionaires as [Applause] well we need we need to end this disastrous and corrupt campaign Finance system we need to overturn the citizens united decision [Applause] and we need to move to Public Funding of 40:03 Elections billionaires should no longer be able to buy elections and I'll tell you something else that the American people Democrats Republicans Independents feel strongly about at a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality they don't want the billionaire class to get another nickel in tax breaks [Applause] when many millions of our people are trying to survive on starvation wages the American people understand we've got to raise that federal minimum wage today today are AB visible 7 and A4 an hour to a living wage at least 15 17 bucks an hour [Music] All Over America we got any trade unionist here people in unions raise 41:04 your hand all right thank you all over this country workers know that if it can earn decent wages benefits and working conditions you got to have a union at your back unions have never been more popular than they are right now but what's going on is that many of these corporations are acting illegally in trying to prevent workers from joining a union they're threatening them they're threatening to move the plant to China take them in back rooms and doctrin them all of which is illegal that is why we've got to pass legislation I just reintroduced called the proa that punishes companies that act illegally when workers out of B the Union 42:01 if you can believe it hard to believe but it is true 22% of seniors in America are trying to survive on $155,000 a year or less half of seniors trying to get by on 30,000 or less no Mr Trump we ain't going to cut Social Security we're going to expand Social Security benefits [Applause] how many people in this room think our current health care system is [Applause] working you're right we are spending twice as much for person on healthc care is the people of any other country yeah we got 85 million uninsured or underinsured many of you have large deductibles right all right we have 60,000 people a year in America dying because they can't get to a doctor on time all right they get sick 43:04 they wait they wait they walk to the doctor's office it is too late the time is long overdue for this country to do what every other major country does guarantee Health Care all people as a human right [Applause] I need your help we're going to reintroduce Medicare for all let's get it [Applause] past unbelievably in our broken Health Care system one out of four people who get a prescription from their doctor cannot afford to fill that prescription we pay by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs sometimes 10 times more than people in other 44:04 countries Congress has got to have the guts to take on big F and make sure that we cut prescription your course in this country by [Music] 50% and here's another concept which is not radical it already exists around the world it is Common Sense we live in a competitive global economy we need the best educated Workforce in the [Applause] world it's not just that we need more doctors and nurses and dentists we need more carpenters and electricians and Sheet Metal Workers we need more teachers it is totally insane that when we have a desperate need for skilled workers 45:04 educated workers that young people are going 30 50 $100,000 or more in debt to get an [Music] education instead of giving tax breaks to billionaires let's make public colleges and universities tuition free and despite what Mr Trump may think climate change sadly is not a hoax it is an existential threat we can create millions of good paying union jobs by Transforming Our Energy System into Energy Efficiency and sustainable energy and by the way by the way when we talk of about freedom and I hear that word a lot in Washington DC you know what Freedom means it means that every woman in this 46:04 country should have the right to control her own [Applause] body now I know I know that a lot of folks throughout the country here in Michigan are feeling angry you're feeling frustrated and some of you may feel a bit hopeless so let me say this at this moment in history this very difficult moment despair is not an [Applause] option giving up is not acceptable that is what the oligarchs want you to 47:04 [Applause] do so let us never forget real change the change that we have experienced over the hundreds of years of our nationhood only occurs when ordinary people stand up against oppression and Injustice and fight back that's how change change does not take place from the top on down it's the bottom on up and I want you to think in this difficult moment to understand that this is not the first time in American history that we have face serious serious challenges and I want you and I don't want to be overly romantic here but I want you to think think back to the 1760s 1770s where you had these people here in the colonies then 48:02 colonies and they said you know what we want independence we want to be able to make our own decisions and they stood up to the entire British Empire the king of England the most powerful guy on Earth and you know what they beat [Applause] him I want you to think about the 1830s 1840s 1850s people in the Abolitionist Movement who said you know what slavery must be abolished once and for all from this country and they were taking on some very powerful people and we were engaged in a horrible bloody Civil War but we prevailed slavery was [Applause] abolished Sean Sean F of the UAW was up 49:06 here a few minutes ago and I was just thinking I was reading something today about the labor movement all of you know know anything about Labor history but in the early parts of the 20th century you know we had kids little children working in factories we had workers working seven days a week we had workers who are paid horrible wages and what workers said said you know what we want to form a union and what the companies would often do is fire these workers they would have workers beaten up sometimes they were workers were killed because they wanted to form a union I was just reading today I don't know how many of you know this that in uh 1936 when people were forming the United Automobile workers workers faced enormous opposition from General Motors and the other big automobile companies you know what workers did they actually took over GM's 50:02 [Applause] factories they waged a c and as a result of that the UAW was formed result of that other great unions were formed and the unions helped create the American middle class they struggled and they won and we all remember we read about the extraordinary bravery of Dr King and the civil rights movement and their struggle against segregation we all know the history of the women's mov women fought and died for the right to vote for the right to control their own bodies it was not an easy struggle and we got the environmental movement and the gay rights movement in other words in other words nobody Frederick 51:08 dougas said that nobody ever gives you Freedom you got to fight for [Applause] it so yes the oligarchs are enormously powerful they have endless amounts of money they control our economy they own much of the media and they have enormous influence over our political system but from the bottom of my heart I believe that if we stand together we can beat them [Applause] 52:06 you know Nelson Mandela made a very profound statement he said everything is impossible until it is done so you know like oh my God can't happen to Camp has been it happens oh no big deal you know yeah well all right so well well I love you [Applause] too so what I want you all to appreciate I want you all to appreciate that in the wealthiest country in the history of the world if we stand together if we do not let the rightwing Divide us up by the color of our skin or where we were born or our religion or our sexual orientation if we 53:00 stand together fighting for an agenda that works for the working class of this country nothing can stop [Applause] us no no no no no no no it's not not Bernie it is you I'll do my job but you've got to do your job I've just been informed by a staff member that right here in Warren Michigan today we have over 9,000 people have attended this event [Applause] so I think in addition to this room we got an overflow room and then we got an overflow overflow 54:04 room and what that tells me is the people not only in Michigan and Vermont but all over this country we're prepared to stand up we're prepared to fight and we're going to win thank you yeah that was so powerful right there we're going to keep covering Senator Bernie Sanders fight the oligarch tour as he's speaking in red districts purple districts blue
