Thank you very much. Welcome back, senator. Good to be with you jimmy im so happy youre here lets get right to it. Theres some big news over the weekend that everyone is talking about. We were following the race Ariana Grande is endorsing you [ laughter ] so this is a big deal. [ cheers and applause why is a 78yearold politician connecting with all these Younger Voters that is a good question im still trying to figure it out. [ light laughter ] ariana is not only a great entertainer, which she is. Jimmy yeah we were at a concert with her in atlanta just a zillion people there, gave a great show. But shes doing more than that she is a very socially conscious, politically conscious person and shes doing exactly what has to be done she is reaching out to young people, getting them involved in the political process and i think at her concerts alone, she has registered 20,000 people to vote. [ cheers and applause jimmy thats amazing and thats a big deal jimmy that is a big deal, yeah i know you are from brooklyn i am from brooklyn as well but i have a photo of you and your mom and your brother. And theres little bernie right there. [ audience aws ] what memories do you have from brooklyn that kind of made you who you are . Because were from new york city, very local show well, i grew up in a rentcontrolled apartment in the flatbush area of brooklyn. Our family did not have a whole lot of money and, you know, i think my politics came from the fact that our families struggled economically, you know, kind of every single day so i got a sense of what that struggle was about jimmy like give me an example. You would want to buy something but couldnt afford it the memories, you know, when you were a little kid, you feel these things very strongly my parents would argue about money. My mother, for example, who died very young, her dream was to own her own home and move out of the apartment and that was a dream that she never fulfilled. So, you know, the conflicts that take place between your parents, you know, when you dont have enough money is something that impacts kids pretty, pretty harshly thats whats going on all over the country today. Jimmy yeah, you were like that so when holidays would come, would you have a big holiday would you have a big thanksgiving would you have yeah, i mean, its not like we were poor, but its just that we were pretty solidly lower middle class and money was always an issue. My other memory of growing up in brooklyn is just being out on the streets all the time playing punch ball and football and basketball jimmy what is punch ball punch ball is you throw the ball up and you hit it it was a spaldeen, remember . [ laughter ] remember spaldeen . Jimmy i know spaldeen. Yeah, we lived with the spaldeen and jimmy like stoop ball . We played stoop ball too. We played every game that you can think of we spent, you know, our entire lives out on the school yards or out on the streets. And we just choose up games. And everybody knew how good everybody else was and it was pretty good jimmy my dad has a bunch of stories of growing up in brooklyn and he was he used to sing doowop on the corners that, i did not do. [ laughter ] jimmy well, we have a microphone [ laughter ] for reasons that you would soon find out. But no we didnt we played ball jimmy my dad was in a doowop group and he was also in a gang at the same time [ laughter ] so he would sing with these guys and then, fight them later that night. [ laughter ] it was so brooklyn thats growing up brooklyn. Jimmy thats growing up brooklyn, yeah can we talk about the impeachment . Because now, weve made it through the house. The trump impeachment. And if it goes to the next level, it goes through senate, which means you have to get involved yep jimmy which means that youre going to miss youre going to have to get off the campaign trail a little bit. How are you going to do that well, look, i have a constitutional responsibility i swore an oath of office, and ill do my job i think this is a sad moment in American History, because we have a president who is not only a pathological liar, not only a racist and so forth, but i think is running the most corrupt administration in the modern history of this country and the house will do its duty, and i suspect they will impeach him as you indicate. The trial is going to come to the senate, and ill do my duty ill listen to the evidence. But as of now, i mean i think you have a president who has committed a number of Impeachable Offenses jimmy after what youve seen, the evidence, do you have a yes or no . You think im going to listen my job is in a sense a juror in the senate to listen to the evidence but if you ask me today, i think he has probably obstructed justice in terms of the mueller investigation. I think he is probably guilty of violating the emoluments clause, which prevents a a president from enriching himself through the use of his own office i think he has used the office to enrich himself and his family and lastly, of course, i think the evidence seems to be pretty clear that he has used hundreds of millions of dollars of military aid to the ukraine as leverage to get political dirt on an opponent, which is also an Impeachable Offense jimmy lets cut to some of your major points you make running for president. Climate change i do believe we have to do something about this jimmy, i dont want to get you too nervous or get the audience too nervous but with the scien jimmy when you get quiet, i do get nervous [ laughter ] all right, then ill be very quiet. What the scientists are telling us is, in fact, they have underestimated the severity and the speed in which Climate Change is damaging not only our country, but the entire world. And if we do not act boldly and i got to tell you, we have introduced the most comprehensive Climate Change proposal ever introduced by a candidate for federal office if we dont have the guts to take on the fossil fuel industry and tell them that their shortterm profits are not more important than the future of this planet, then i got to tell you, according to the scientists, the world that were going to be leaving our kids and our grandchildr
