The vermont senator made several stops throughout our swing state. And ended with a rally at Canyon Springs high school. Thats where fox fives rachel moore is live. She spoke to supporters about what sanders had to say. Whenever we cover these Campaign Rallies most of the time im fence about who theyre going to support they want to come to these events to see what the candidate has to say and then make their decision when the time comes to vote but tonight everyone i spoke to knew that senator sanders was the candidate they were voting for. Tonight this High School Gymnasium was packed there were a couple thousand standing in front of the media stage and then to the side and even behind us there were several hundred. Today senator sanders talked about raising the minimum wage to 15 dollar, taxing the wealthy, free college tuition, singlepayer healthcare and overhauling the criminal justice system. One of the main things he talked about was the monetary influence in government. He wants to get rid of the culture of money in politics and he says hes proud that his campaign has raised millions of dollars from smallmoney donations as opposed to lump sums from billionaires. Bernie sanders wall street in and the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adleson and all these really wont be guys, they are so powerful in controlling the economic and political life of this country, that we cannot defeat them unless millions of people stand together and thats what this campaign is about. Mark stevens, voter i wanted to come out to see and support Bernie Sanders. I think theres too much money and politics and hes actually the one candidate that ive heard that wants to get the money out of politics. Sanders also attended a private event at a the home of former Democratic Congressional candidate erin bilbray. He gave a short speech to about 100 guests at the womens leaders luncheon. After that he met with local veterans at another event. This is a high school so there were a lot of young people in the crowd. Coming up at 11 ill tell you why senator sanders is appealing to firsttime voters. For now reporting live Rachel Moore Fox five news. Local las vegas. This morning fox Bernie Sanders for a oneonone interview here at the fox five studio. They discussed foreign policy. The future of solar energy in nevada. And the housing market. Talk to me about foriegn policy, theres a lot of attention on isis, ever since san bernardino, and people are thinking about their own insecurities, how would you make americans safe . Two things that we have to do, number 1 in my view we have to crush and destroy isis. But we have to be smart, know. I learned a lesson about iraq. I voted against the war in iraq and i think history will recall that as the right vote. How do we destroy isis . We destroy isis through a broad coalition, which means that muslim troops and i am happy to see the iraqi army maybe they are getting their act together, and working in coalition, with the support of the united states, uk, france and germany, and russia by the way, focusing on isis. In terms of protecting the american people, we have got to do everything that we can, i can make sure intelligance around the world, that in fact, we have a very strong process by which were vetting people who are coming into the united states, and by which information that is to the proper authorities. And i some of the things to do. Senator, last week there was a decision here by the Public Utilities commission, giving nv energy the ability to charge solar customers more, while giving them less money for the power they returned, and a lot of people say thats going to kill the solar here in nevada, they feel theyve been kicked in the gut by the government, that tells them to go green, and yet the utility monopoly here is making economically that decision was made by the state officials. I am not an expert on what goes on here in nevada but it sounds to me, like a very bad and counterproductive decision. Look, this is my view , i believe along with vertually all the scientists Climate Change is real, it is caused by human activity, it is already causing massive problems in our country, and around the world. We have a short window of opportunity, to get our act together and transfer our Energy System away from fossil fuels into energy efficiency, sustainable energy, so we should be moving aggressively into solar, helping people get solar on their rooftops, not discouraging that. My view is that we transform our Energy System and we create a planet which is habitable for our kids and our grandchildren. Not do the other thing. Now by the way, we are seeing a lot of opposition to transform our Energy System coming from the big money interests in oil, and coal, and apparently they are not worried about the future of this planet. They are more worried about their shorttermed profits. Thats be faught. Here in nevada, a lot of homeowners are still underwater, how will the president make life a little better . Heres what we do, what we say is first of all, in america we need a minimum wage which is a living wage, not a salvation wage. My view would raise the minimum wage to 15 an hour over the next several years, number 2, real unemployment in this country is close to 10 percent, youth unemployment is higher than that. We need to create millions of decent paying jobs, rebuilding our crumbling infrastucture. We need pay equitiy for women workers, if we are going to be competitive in this global economy, we need to make sure, that we have the best educated workforce in the world, in my view colleges and universities, are tuition free and paying for that for a tax is wall street speculation so we need to have a trade policy, which tells corporations to invest in our country, not just in china, changing our trade policies.
