bernie sanders. [cheers and applause] and the only reason that i had any hope in launching a long-shot campaign for congress is because bernie sanders proves that you can run a grassroots campaign. the ally [cheers and applause] i call him ed: he says i wrote the damn bill when it comes to medicare for all. so he has that authenticity. that big crowd out there, born in queens, that s right in the shadow of where amazon was going to build this massive headquarters, hq2 as they were calling it. it was going to bring a lot of money to that community, to new york city, the whole region perhaps. and it was aoc and others who blocked it. bad, bad capitalism. and so what a remarkable contrast right there where they were in the shadows of a spot that might have been this great bastion of capitalism helping all kinds of people in the area, bringing in all kinds of new money, and they were i saying
would take an outsider, including bernie, to win and defeat trump, but you re changing your mind. why? bernie is the ultimate outsider. he s still an dependent. you can t get better than that. griff: i met young connor. you re back now, are you going to support bernie sanders again? yes. griff: why? because i want free college. griff: why are you supporting bernie? i have a lot of student debt, and i would love future generations not to be in debt like i am. the standard of living for americans is down griff: standard of living is up under the trump economy now. no, actually, it s not. we re $20 trillion in debt. the cost of medicare for all, the cost of the green new deal? i think people are smart enough to understand if they pay a higher tax rate, the costs are
rhetoric. it s very dangerous. the issue about medicare for all and particularly the eliminating fracking on day one which attacks blue collar, middle class american workers, you can t walk that back. so i agree, she s in for a tough fight to try to claim that. but bernie sanders wouldn t even try to claim. liz warren would, i think, make that argument ed: let s talk more about that sanders/warren dynamic and who s the real socialist, who s the real progressive. politico magazine talking about aoc s sanders endorsement won t change 2020, they say, but it might change the democratic party. this is a signal from the young guns in the democratic party to elizabeth warren that you re not progressive enough and that bernie sanders is the real deal. what say you? i read the article, and i think it was very smart thing for aoc, because don t believe bernie s campaign s going anywhere, but he has a lot of money, a lot of energy, a lot of young voters really backed up. but if that goes away
medicare for all. will you raise taxes on the middle class to pay for it in. i have made clear what my principles are here. costs go up for the wealthy, they will go up for big corporations and for middle class families they will go down. i will not sign a bill into law that does not lower costs for middle class families. ed: there s elizabeth warren defending her progressive agenda. she s grilled on her policies and how they would hit your wallet. our next guest warns a warren presidency could damage american society as we know it. let s bring in david thompson, chief investment officer and author of the upcoming book elizabeth warren: how her presidency would destroy the middle class and the american dream. thanks for coming in. thanks for having me. ed: with bernie sanders being back, a lot of his supporters
