00:00To put it bluntly, I am back.
00:04I really love him. I love his policies. I love like everything that he's about.
00:10I worked on his campaign in 2016, fell in love, haven't fallen out of love.
00:15There's nobody else in the race who comes even close.
00:30There's a definite difference between Bernie and Elizabeth.
00:43Just take Medicare for All, Elizabeth is calling it a framework.
00:47Maybe to her it is a framework because she really doesn't have a plan for it.
00:52Bernie has over a hundred page bill that details what it covers, how he's going to
01:00pay for it, and the implementation.
01:02Elizabeth Warren is a little bit iffy about the issue.
01:06Bernie's been clear cut since the get-go, Medicare for All and nothing else.
01:10I actually have a disease called Cystic Fibrosis and even though I'm lucky enough to have good
01:14health insurance right now, I know that as soon as I'm 26 it's just going to be based
01:17on what kind of employers insurance I'm able to have.
01:21I think where a lot of the other candidates have maybe been a little wishy-washy, Bernie
01:26for decades has been supporting Medicare for All and he wrote the bill that would hopefully
01:31be implemented into Congress and into the society and the political system.
01:35Elizabeth, she says she's a true capitalist and I think in some of these policies, they
01:42should be handled by the government.
01:44You don't need for-profit prisons.
01:47You don't need for-profit healthcare.
01:50So there's all these little changes in Elizabeth's stories in the past.
01:56You really have to ask yourself, can I really trust her?
02:00I think what attracts me to Bernie is because he's promised he's not going to take any money
02:05from any PACs and he's been consistent on that.
02:08She's a great candidate, sure, but I think with her, I believe she did say that she would
02:13take money from PACs in the general, so that's a big deterring factor for me.
02:18I don't think Elizabeth Warren has any roots in any part of the working class, be it the
02:24old traditional working class or the new sectors.
02:28I don't think she's got any roots there at all.
02:30That's amazing, you know, how Bernie and the people behind him and the 2016 campaign pulled
02:39the party to the left.
02:41It just wasn't like that until just, you know, two, three years ago.
02:45To me, there is no close second to it.
02:47If you want that progressive person that is going to do qualitative changes, not slow,
02:56incremental and have to work at it, it's got to be Bernie.
