this country goes without the health care they need, when they need it. and i think we can devise a system that does both of those. i like the concept of a green new deal. we don t have to choose between protecting our planet on one hand and also creating opportunity on the other. when i was mayor of san antonio, i was on the local public utility board. we started moving away from coal fired plants and instead inve invested in solar energy and other renewables. and it created more than 800 jobs in the clean energy economy. that s the kind of thing that we can do in the united states and lead both in combatting climate change and creating jobs for people who need them. final question. when are you going to get some sleep? i m overheating right now. my body is all out of whack because i have not slept for one minute since last night. oh, my goodness. it s had to be b exciting. a great night.
loses, five, six, seven eight, nine points and suddenly he s in single digits if this goes wrong tonight. i think one thing that happened yesterday night that s going to be important is elizabeth warren raising her hand when the moderators asked would you eliminate private health insurance, and then her quote afterward i m with bernie on medicare for all. she signed onto his bill, she seemed open to keeping that piece of it. that is a real move on their part to encroach on bernie s core base of support, so he s going to be on the one hand have to handle joe biden. on the other hand he s going to be compared to elizabeth warren. does he stand up tonight for progressives in a way that they feel as though, you know, he is still their guy and not this other new you know, new face that they think is going to fight for them. he s really being squeezed on both sides. that s a dangerous mover, too. it s one thing to say i m for medicare for all, and then the follow up question, oh, yeah,
he did have a good night. i think for me locking at tonight, what i really want to see is i want to see people getting up there and not going over the check his. what do i need to say about health care and guns. but talking about and i would say love, talking about the disruption of love. talking about the nation that we were. talking about how out of many, we are one. last night i personally would not have answered the first question until i talked about that ap photo and what that represented about donald trump s america. and that this is is an anomaly.
you make sure that you don t take pac money, you don t have gerrymandering. you have people reflected in the policies that we pursue. when we do that, we can move forward on universal guaranteed high quality health care. you can afford your prescription medication. health care no longer becomes a function of privilege or luck or circumstance, but a basic right that you can depend on. on that question of medicine and what we do with our health care system, congressman, you ve said and said again last night, you re not willing to go all the way to medicare for all, to a pure medicare for all system. that seems to be a litmus test question in this campaign. you were asked again about it last night, you said if people have private insurance, they can keep it. i m sure there s some temptation in a democratic primary debate with a lot of progressives watching to go all the way. why do you make that distinction not to go to pure medicare for all. a couple months ago i was in las vegas and
could poll, you know, up to 15%. i think we can show the interview if we have it. let s toss to it right now. clear that you are not going to be the democratic nominee, will you leave the race before the convention? i intend to be the democratic nominee. but if you re not. you stated last time and some people said you hurt hillary clinton s candidacy. some people say that if maybe the system was not rigged against me, i would have won the nomination and defeated donald trump. that s what some people say, so i think we re going to play it out. i think i am you would take the risk. i am excited are you asking that of every ka candidate? i m saying if it s clear you will not win the no, ma minatio will you concede? right now we are planning to win the democratic nomination. he said why aren t we asking this of other candidates. the reality is we only have one who has a track record of having done this before, i wanted him to answer the question. i find it hard
