Transcripts For CSPAN Hillary Clinton Get Out To Caucus Rall

CSPAN Hillary Clinton Get Out To Caucus Rally In Marshalltown Iowa January 27, 2016

They are entertaining. Perhaps donald more so than bernie, but there is something about the entertainment value of these guys that is not talked about, and i wondered to what extent it may scare establishment candidates on both sides. Undergonald trump could a metamorphosis, possibly redeem himself in some way for the things he has done in the past that may not have been for the public good. Host lets leave it there and let our guest respond. Guest i do think in terms of Bernie Sanders, what we are witnessing is what you are saying, which is he is bringing up people who have not voted, who have not been interested in politics because they found it corroded or corrupt. His message is reaching people. There is also a look for the general election where this enthusiasm will be critical, because the numbers in the midterms have declined so much. This is a wave of election, which could mean congress, senate you have more voters out and that is a very good thing. Shockerrump, he is a and Reality Television star. He is ugly in his entertainment value. Chancem, i see less of a of converting those people to voting. I may be wrong, but there is a sense people are coming for a reality show. Bernie sanders, i do not think he is that entertaining but i think he is full of substance, passionate, he cares, has integrity. With donald trump, it is a reality show, and people like to watch and then go do something else. There is notion there is no question we see huge rallies of enthusiasm, that i do not know whether the donald trump phenomenon goes further. It is so much about him. He said even if he shot someone on fifth avenue, no one would leave him and he would have his supporters. The most insidious thing is the way he speaks about deporting all of the immigrants. This is antiamerican. I do not know what he brings. I think he brings a lot of poison. Way thatpeak in a really drives the kind of republican financial bigwigs crazy, because he talks about corporate unpatriotic corporations shipping jobs overseas. I suspect he has done that as well, but he talks about it. He appeals to people, but will they vote . That is the big question. I think the big question in iowa is the organizing factor. Will Bertie Sander voters come out . From the independent line, go ahead. Hello, how are you . Guest i am ok. I am a black female and 58 years old. What i want to say is Bernie Sanders brings some authenticity that you can believe him. Hillary, it is almost like the democrats have cornered her, and it boils my blood for them to try to push her down my throat. We americans should make our own judgment. As far as donald trump is concerned, i am so glad he is there. Republicanswhat the have always done, used fear. He is on steroids. I am glad to see he is out there doing that, even though i would not vote for him. I am glad he has the boldness i wish the democratic side had. I do not trust hillary because i have seen how she does. Female,aking as a black and i am not locked in the democratic party. I am not a person that can be herded. I resent the fact that she thinks that when she speaks Barack Obamas name, we will all fall in line. We are all not monolithic. Guest that is important. I will say one of the reasons we ended up doing this bernie endorsement is over a year ago, we called for contested riemer is because we primaries because we believe americans deserve a clash of ideas and to have a range of candidates engaged in the votes of people. If you remember over a year ago, it was an inevitable factor that Hillary Clinton would be the nominee. That is not good and not healthy for democracy. We wanted to challenge that. Did we know Bernie Sanders a year ago when ron . We did not. There was a draft of an Elizabeth Warren campaign that did not come together, but Bernie Sanders coming in has changed politics as we know it and has elevated issues that this country needs to hear that have been on his agenda for more than 30 years. I also take to heart what you said about being monolithic. I think is there i think there is a narrative that africanamericans will come out unified for Hillary Clinton, and i think that is a disservice for the africanamerican committee that has a range of interest. There is a talk of South Carolina as a firewall for Hillary Clinton. Bernie sanders has not introduced himself yet to millions of people. He is not a brand name in the way Hillary Clinton is. I think he is also speaking to among that have appeal many, including africanamericans. Host with the endorsement, can you tell us about the process of how it came about and who was involved . Was it a unanimous effort . Guest we have an Editorial Board that met in october and there was preliminary discussion then. We considered it too early. At the end of this past year, the editorial staff, team of the nation met to discuss this and there was more discussion in early january. I reached out to the Editorial Board and it was close to a unanimous decision that this was the right thing to do. There were a few key editors who but ited, john walsh, was an magazine staff, larger Editorial Board decision. There was also interplay of readers and social media, and that is how the decision was made. It was also something we have been covering Bernie Sanders for 30 years, his issues have , and it ise nation rare to find a candidate whose principles, values and issues closely parallel in the right moment. It was that that led us to the endorsement. Air the republican line in arkansas, vicki for waiting period good morning. Bernie sanders is not stupid. He knows if he gives Americans Free college and pays off their debt, he is going to get their vote, but what he is not telling end, we mayn the run out of other peoples money it will look like russia and we will have empty fields and stores. It will be just like russia. You did not mention them aside from the Koch Brothers. Guest this is the richest country in the world. Bernie sanders spoke to something that i think is one of the great ideas of our time. It used to be called the tobin tax. There is now legislation in congress that it could be taxed, essentially tax wall street to rebuild main street. A discussion on trade speculation that can be retrieved to do Public Investment in this country. To talk about squandering money on debt, college debt or health care is wrong. There are good deficits. It is not clear one would need a deficit if you have the right tax structure in this country. To do Public Investment in the future of this country is the greatest thing you can do. About sanders made a joke Dwight Eisenhower who had marginal tax rates on the richest of americans. I think we have the funds if our priorities are screwed on right to make the right decision. In terms of the investors, it is a false equivalence, yes, they are billionaires. They have not pumped the kind of money into our political system that the Koch Brothers have. They have not done it there is an idea that the Koch Brothers are strategic, but one thing the new book about the Koch Brothers shows is they are essentially making a Good Business investment with their money, because they are buying themselves out from deregulation which is a huge issue for them. They are buying themselves out of a lot of criminal cases because their companies have been involved in some of the biggest cases in environmental pollution, those arenas. It is a business decision for them, and their work on criminal justice reform. Interestingd they have entered into these coalitions. One thing that will become clear as part of their interest is to lift fines and penalties for whitecollar environmental criminals. I think you need to take it carefully when you try to draw false equivalence between these groups on the right and he left. Host the editor of the nation joining us to talk about the endorsement of Bernie Sanders. Think you so much for your time. Guest thank you.
