Can he do more policy oriented speeches . When he starts having more details, there will be a lot more actual conversations about how he might approach and administration, for example. Host mitt romney sang one of these candidates should get out. Saying one of these candidates should get out. Right now, what mitt john kasichying and ted cruz are fighting over the same faction of voters. As they go with this stop trump campaign, they would like to have all their energy go to one candidate and john kasich is only won one contest. States it is his desire to continue to campaign and say im here through the convention. This is not something he has been planning for his team had a big meeting with a couple of operatives in washington to get more support, more money. New work, new jersey. James, a democrat. Caller how are you doing . Ianory short, in 2002 rge w. Bush got to be pals me and george w. Bush got to be pals. 2003 coming Hillary Clinton was senator in new york city. We got to be friends for a while and he got kicked out he wrote me letters host we have to get to your point here. Did oneHillary Clinton thing for wall street, one thing for the people. In rhode island. Independent. Caller good morning. Im calling because this whole delegate situation from both the extremelyc have been disturbing to me. I do agree with the Democrat Woman who called from south carolina. A rhode disturbed as , in york, that today it is a closed primary. I am not a trump supporter at all, however, he does speak to the facts of the situation. Island, not only do we have a better, more , when we go into primary, we get to affiliate with either a democratic ballot or a republican ballot. Host do you think this could hurt donald trump . I dont think this necessarily hurts donald trump. It hurts Bernie Sanders. Hes relied more on being able to turn over independents to his side. Donald trump has been able to attract different factions. But, this is an issue in york. Its about Bernie Sanders. This is an issue in new york. Florida, bob is a democrat. Caller good morning, ladies. Make a statement and ask one question. You girls remember back in 2012 when all the polls were showing obama was going to lose he gave the exact percentage and picked every senate race exactly. Hes become known as the genius. He was getting his information from the online betting odds. Over and ago, i went made a bet. , hillaryone, the odds clinton has led every day from the day she started. ,ight now, for several months rubio was against hillary. ,lthough it was her and him they called if the election was today, they give percentages. She always had at least a 10 int percentage right now, they are saying if it is trump and hillary. Is clear it is going to be she is going to win. Hillary clinton is going to be the next president. Host john in glen cove, new york. How are you voting today . You are an independent. Caller im not allowed to vote. I would love to support sanders in the election. The deadline was back in october of last year. I missed that. Of these party rules are kind of bizarre. The race in iowa was a tie and that somehow put clinton ahead. In New Hampshire and that somehow increased her lead. Guest different states have different rules to vote. The iowa caucus, if there is not a winner, they are flipping a coin. I was in des moines for the iowa caucus and it is ive never seen anything like it in my life. Part of it is state rules, part of it is about rules and how this proportioned election cycle has empowered regular citizens and people take you live now to president ial candidate Bernie Sanders and you see our road to the white house. And our New York Primary coverage starts right here on cspan. Cheers and applause] out of the last eight aucuses. Getting nervous because when we began this campaign we were 60 points behind and in the last couple of weeks, the national. Olls have had us in the lead [cheers and applause] and to getting nervous because democratic voters know because every National Poll we beat donald trump [cheers and applause] senator sanders and the American People are catching on if we are going to prevent trump from occupying the white house which would be a disaster for our country, we have got to campaign that that does not happen. [cheers and applause] senator sanders this is the campaign that has the energy, that has the enthusiasm and that in november, will create the will f voter townout that not om allow us to the senate and do better in the house [cheers and applause] senator sanders as many of you know, there is as we speak, right this moment, there is a democratic primary taking place in new york state [cheers and applause] senator sanders now the polls dont close there until 9 00 p. M. So we dont know who is going to be wing or losing but a are going to do better than lot of people thought we would. [cheers and applause] chanting bernie] senator sanders and i want to thank all of the people in new york that are giving us support. One of the themes though are iving us, is the need to reinvigorate american democracy. Right now in america, we have one of the lowest national one of the lowest National Turnout rates of any major country on earth. And i want us to change that. I want to see more of our people actively involved in the political process regardless of their views. [cheers and applause] senator sanders and in that regard, i would hope that in future primaries, electrics in new york state, the officials there make some fundamental changes about how they do business. [cheers and applause] senator sanders today in new york state, if you can believe this, in new york state today, those voters are cant participate in the republican or democratic primaries because they have chosen to list themselves as independents. That is wrong. 3 million ll thon people cant vote in that state and that has to change in future elections [cheers and applause] senator sanders it is absurd in brooklyn, new york, where i was born actually, tens of thousands of people as i understand it have encouraged have the voting roles. And it is a little bit crazy that in upstate new york, they opened the polls at 12 noon. What happens to people who get up early and have to go to work and despite all of that and despite that secretary clinton has won elections for the u. S. Senate and she beat senator obama by 17 points, guess pite the fact the entire the new york is cratic establishment doing with her, we are going to do just fine in new york [cheers and applause] chanting bernie] senator sanders and the reason we are going to do as well as we will, is because we are doing something radical in contemporary politics, we are telling the truth . [cheers and applause] senator sanders and the truth is and people understand it whether you are conservative, progressive or moderate is we Campaign System that is undermining american democracy. [cheers and applause] senator sanders democracy is not a complicated process. Not one person, one vote, billionaires and their super pawcs buying their elections. And when i talk about revitalizing american democracy, if any of you are interested in running for office, i want you to fight for our points of view and run for Office Without wealthy people for Campaign Contributions sclams [cheers and applause] senator sanders im very proud. When we talk about a Political Revolution, we are already accomplishing that in terms of the way that our campaign is raising money. We are virtually the only ampaign that does not have a superer pac. [cheers and applause] senator sanders we made a decision early on that our campaign does not represent the brillion air class and does not Corporate America or wall street and we have chosen not to take their money cheers and applause] senator sanders instead, what e have done is we have done is unprecedented. We have reached out to the middle class and working families and if you want a candidate who is prepared to so up to the 1 who have much impact over our economy and our political life, support us. [cheers and applause] and unbelievably, a million years i would have never present dibblingted this would have happened. Ith we have received 7 million individual Campaign Contributions. [cheers and applause] senator sanders that is more Campaign Contributions than any candidate in the history of our country in this point in an election. Cheers and applause] senator sanders and what we have shown uniquely is that we can run a Winning National campaign without being dependent on the big money interests. Cheers and applause] senator sanders anyone know ow what the average Campaign Interest is . 700. Of that is pretty good. Secretary clinton has chosen another approach. He has a number of superpacs and in the last filing report listed 25 million in special interest funding including 15 million from wall street. Now in addition to that, as some of you know, secretary clinton has givin speeches to wall street firms for 225,000 a speech. What i have said is that you are going to get paid 22,000 for a speech must be a pretty good speech. [applause] applause enator sanders must be an earthshattering speech and on the global cries sees that we face and must be a speech written in shake pairian pros. [cheers and applause] senator sanders i cant imagine that. If its not that great. If that speech is as great as it must be, the secretary must release the transtrints. Transcripts. [cheers and applause] now secretary clinton has said, well, she wont release those transcripts if other people do the same. Are you ready for a dramatic announcement . Commaupchaup senator sanders this is an historical moment. Tonight im announcing that i will release all of the transcripts of all of the speeches i have given to wall street. [cheers and applause] and because i believe in transparency on this matter, im going to make all of those transcripts able to you. Are you ready. No speeches. No transscrints, not for. 25,000, not for 2 but im keeping any cell phone on, because im waiting for that phone call from jpmorganchase or Goldman Sachs saying bernie, we want you to give a speech. But i would 2, like to speak to wall street and i will tell you why. [applause] senator sanders because it is important for somebody to tell wall street that their greed, their recklessness and illegal behavior seriously hurts the lives of millions of our fellow americans sclams. [cheers and applause] s a result of their actions, their illegal actions, millions of americans lost their jobs, their homes and their life savings and many of those people have yet to recover. Now the other point that i would like to make to wall street is when congress, against my vote, bails them out when congress bails them out because the major banks were too big to fail, turns out 3 out of the 4 are bigger now than when we bailed them out because they were too big to fail. Urns out that five major banks couldnt pass a living will process telling us how they would break themselves out. Turns out, turns out also that in the last week or two, Goldman Sachs, one of the large fin shal nstewings reached a 5 billion settlement with the United States government. You know why they reached that settlement because they acknowledged because they were selling worthless packages of subprime Mortgage Loans and they werent the only bank. Point number one and i want you to think outside of the box. This is the most powerful entity. They have political power than any other entity and yet it turns out that the Business Model from a Major Financial Institution is fraud. [crowd is booing] senator sanders and three out of four, when we bailed them out because they were too big to il, we have to break them up [cheers and applause] senator sanders here is another point that gets the American People that gets them cynical and angry. Ne citizen was picked up for marijuana. That kid will have a criminal record for his entire life. [cheers and applause] senator sanders but turns out that if you are an executive for a major wall street firm whose illegal behavior destroys the lives of millions of america, is compensation our package and we are going to ing justice back to a broken criminal Justice System [cheers and applause] senator sanders i dont know, but maybe thats why they have not invited me to give that speech to wall viet. Could be wrong. Is campaign is doing as well as it is because we understand that not only do we have a corrupt finance system, we have a rigid economy. [cheers and applause] senator sanders and let me tell you what you arent going to see on television or read in the papers and that is in America Today we have more america and wealth inequality than any major country on earth and it is worse than 1928. I want you to think about it. Baugh this campaign is thinking outside of the becomes. Its is not accepting the status quo because it is the status quo but about stallinging the status quo. [cheers and applause] senator sanders what this campaign is saying loudly and 1 10 of 1 owns is not an economy or is moral, sustainable american. [cheers and applause] i say to the world, get off f welfare, start paying your employees a living wage cheers and applause] senator sanders when we talk about the economy, it is not just a very unfortunate and grow tech diss tricks of wealth and has to do with income. You patrolly wont believe it. Google it. Wait a few minutes. Check this one out. 40 years ago, before all of the technology and all of the robotics and all of the cell phones and the global economy, guess what. 40 years ago, one person in a family in those days, most often a man, could work 40 hours a week and bring in in ever enough income to bring in. Today after an explosion of worker productivity and explosion of technology in almost all families, mom is working, dads working and the kids are working and less disposable income than they did 40 years ago. And in fact, im going to give you some news that together we are going to have to address. Young people, you ready for this. Wuck will up, because we are going to change it. If we dont transform this conomy, the young generation today, well have a lower standard of living than your parents. Booing] sand savend unless we turn around this economy, we are looking at the end of the American Dream and we will not allow that to happen cheers and applause] senator sanders my family never had any money. But my father worked hard and my mother worked hard and the expectation is that their children would do better and thats what the American Dream has been around for tens of millions of america families. Your generation will not do better than your parents and that is why we will transform this economy cheers and applause] it senator sanders it is not just rigid economy, it is a broken criminal Justice System [cheers and applause] senator sanders i hope all of you know that in America Today, we have more people in jail than ny other country on earth. 2. 2 million p. M. In jail spending 80 billion a year locking them up and that is why we need real reform in our criminal Justice System [cheers and applause] enator sanders today, youth unemployment is off the charts. Africanamerican youth unemployment for high school raduates is 5 . Atinos, 36 and our jobs is to make certain that our young people, we are going to invest in jobs and education and not jail and incarceration [cheers and applause] cheering bernie] senator sanders and we are talking about reforming local Police Departments all over this country. I was a mayor in burlington, vermont. I worked with the police and i worked with the police all over this country. The vast majority of Police Officers are honest and hard working and have a difficult job to do. [cheers and applause] senator sanders but like any other public official when the Police Officer breaks the law, that officer must be held accountable. [cheers and applause] senator sanders we need to dema materialize local Police Departments and should not be looking like armies. We need to make Police Departments to reflect the communities they serve. [cheers and applause] senator sanders we need to make certain that every Police Officer in this country understands that leelingth is the last response not the first response. We need to end corporate ownership of prisons and detention centers. [cheers and applause] senator sanders we need to rethink the socalled war on drugs. [cheers and applause] senator sanders in the last 30 years, last 30 years, millions ever amendment cans have received Police Records as a result of possession of marijuana. [crowd booing] senator sanders and many lives this is destroyed and a racial issue and the black and hithe community falk about but blacks are four more times to be arrested. Today under the federal control substance act, marijuana is listed as a schedule 1 drug. Booing] senator sanders right along side hirn. And we must take marijuana out f the federal controlled Substance Abuse act. [cheers and applause] senator sanders in my state of vermont and all across this country today we face a very ser every e crisis and single day people are dying of drug overdoze he. If we are going to be successful, we need to understand that Substance Abuse and addiction is a health issue and not a criminal issue. Cheers and applause] senator sanders and that means a revolution in the way we do Mental Health trea
