mr. sanders: i want to see a process in which anybody in this room, anybody in america whether you are conservative, progressive, moderate -- if you believe you want to get into public service, you want to run for office, you believe in your ideas, i want to see you be able to run for office without begging money from the wealthy and the powerful. [applause] mr. sanders: a couple of weeks ago in washington, i was at an event with martin luther king, iii and people with the southern christian leadership congress. a very good civil rights organization. and what we talked about at that meeting was to, first of all, celebrate the 50th anniversary

-- and someone mentioned this earlier. of the enormously important voting rights act. ok? [applause] mr. sanders: what the voting rights act was about was to say the governors and legislatures all over this country, many in the south, will say sorry, all people will be able to vote regardless of the color of their skin. [applause] mr. sanders: that was a great step forward for democracy, but as many of you know, two years ago, the supreme court gutted a very important provision of the voting rights act. and what has happened is all over the country, not just to the south, but all over the country, governors and legislatures have done everything possible to suppress

the vote, to deny people the right to vote, those people disagree with the powers that be. and they are unsafe. [applause] mr. sanders: you know, i take that kind of personally and i will tell you why. i have run for office in my own state many times. sometimes i have lost. most times i have won. but it had never occurred to me, never, not for one second to say there are parts of the state that are not sympathetic to me, how do i figure out a way to stop those people from voting? if you cannot run for office and defend your ideas, then you should not run for office in the first place. [applause]

mr. sanders: people, legislatures, governors who try to prevent people from voting because they may vote against a governor or the legislatures are nothing less than political cowards. [applause] mr. sanders: i have introduced legislation which more or less says that if you are 18 years of age in the united states of america, you are registered to vote, end of discussion. [applause] mr. sanders: i think all of you know that the world we are living in is a very competitive global economy.

and if our nation is going to succeed economically, we need to have the best educated workforce in the world. [applause] mr. sanders: and what saddens me very much is as we speak here tonight, there are hundreds of thousands of bright, young men and women across this country -- kids who have done really well in school. kids were qualified to get into college, but they cannot get into college for one reason -- their families lack the money. to my mind, it is not only unfair to these kids to deny them the right to become doctors or engineers or teachers or scientists or whatever else -- not only unfair to them, but it is absurd when we talk about the future of the american economy.

we need to have the best educated workers in the world. [applause] mr. sanders: and that is why i have introduced legislation which does two very important things. first, it says that every public college and university in america will be tuition-free. [applause] mr. sanders: and i want to tell you why this idea, this simple idea is a revolutionary idea. it is not just that it will make

life easier for kids in high school to get to college. it will certainly do that. but this is what else it will do -- today in columbia, in burlington, vermont, there are kids in the fourth and fifth grades. these are kids whose mom and dad did not go to college. these are kids who don't know anybody who went to college and the idea of going to college, of making it into the middle class is something beyond their wildest expectations or dreams. but, if we tell every kid in columbia and in burlington, vermont that if you study, if you pay attention to school, if you do your work, you will be able to get a college education. [applause]

mr. sanders: it will impact kids from the first grade on up. and the second thing we have done in a legislation is to address the absurdity of millions of americans, some young, some not so young, who are struggling with horrendously oppressive student debt. [applause] mr. sanders: i have talked to a young woman whose crime in life was she went to medical school and is practicing primary health care for low-income people. exactly the kind of doctors we need. but, for doing that, she came out of school $300,000 in debt. i was in iowa a few months ago.

a young woman came up to me and said she graduated dental school -- $400,000 in debt at a time where we have a major dental crisis and we need more dentists. i talked to young people who are paying off 25% of their limited incomes in student debt. cannot afford to get married. cannot afford to get a car. cannot afford to get a home. now, in my view, it makes no sense at all that if you can refinance your home today at 2% or 3% or 4%, you should not be paying 8% or 10% on your student debt. [applause] mr. sanders: third of all, the

federal government which holds most of that debt should not be profiteering with high interest rates of working-class americans. [applause] mr. sanders: people say to me, well, bernie, that is a good idea, but it will be pretty expensive to provide public colleges and universities tuition-free and lower student debt. how will you pay for it? let me tell you exactly how i will pay for it -- with a tax on wall street speculation. [applause] mr. sanders: when wall street destroyed this economy because of their greed and recklessness, they went begging to the middle class to bail them out.

now it is wall street's time to bail out the middle class. [applause] mr. sanders: when we talk about our responsibilities as human beings, as parents, adults, there is perhaps nothing more important than leaving this planet in a way that is habitable for our kids and grandchildren. [applause] mr. sanders: the debate is over. the scientific community in a virtually unanimous voice have told us climate change is real. climate change is caused by human activity.

and climate change is already today causing devastating problems in our country and all over the world. [applause] mr. sanders: what the scientists tell us -- if we do not get our act together in a very short period of time, a bad situation today will become much, much worse with the planet temperature rising 5 or 10 degrees more fahrenheit. more drought, more flood, more extreme weather disturbances. more ocean acidification. the united states has the moral responsibility to lead the world in transforming our energy system. [applause]

mr. sanders: in transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. [applause] mr. sanders: let me say a word about values and priorities. i am the ranking member of the senate budget committee which means i am the leader of the democrats in our position. i want to tell you what many of you don't know. the media forgot to talk about it. [laughter] sanders: that is the budget passed by the republicans a few months ago does the following -- it throws 27 million americans off of health care. it cuts pell grants by $90

billion over 10 years. it cuts nutrition programs, including the wic program, for pregnant women and their little kids by billions and billions of dollars. [booing] mr. sanders: those are the priorities of the republican party. those are not america's priorities. [applause] mr. sanders: and to add insult to injury, not only are they making massive cuts in health care, education, nutrition and other vitally important programs, their budget proposes to give $250 billion in tax breaks to the top 2/10 of 1%. [booing]

mr. sanders: so, let me tell my republican colleagues -- no, we are not going to cut social security. we are going to expand social security. [applause] mr. sanders: no, we are not going to cut veterans programs. we are going to expand veterans programs. [applause] mr. sanders: and we are going to provide the best quality health care to our veterans, who have put their lives on the line to defend this country. [applause]

mr. sanders: when we talk about making our country the kind of nation that it must become, we must talk about ending institutional racism and making major reforms -- [applause] mr. sanders: and making major reforms to our broken criminal justice system. [applause] mr. sanders: now, the good news is that over the last several decades, our country has made significant progress in overcoming our long legacy of racism. we should be proud of that. if people were sitting in this

room 30 years ago and somebody said i think in the year 2008, an african-american could be elected president, that the people of america will look at his ideas, his views, people would have said no. it would not happen that fast, but it did happen and we should be proud of that. [applause] mr. sanders: we should be proud of the progress we have made and the struggle absolutely continues against sexism in this country and opening doors for women that never existed before. [applause] mr. sanders: god only knows that that struggle continues, but we are making progress and we should be very proud of the extraordinary progress we have

made in recent years in the fight for gay rights. something we should be very proud of. [applause] mr. sanders: that is the good news and we as americans deserve a pat on the back for making real progress in making us a less discriminatory society in many respects. but, here is the bad news -- as everyone in this room knows, racism remains a much too real part of american life. and in that regard, i'm not just talking about the sickness of a man who can walk into a bible study class in charleston, pray with people in that room and then take out a gun and kill nine of them.

that is just something that is almost impossible for us to understand how somebody can do that. and we are not just talking about other forms of racism that we see every single day. we are not just talking about the hundreds of hate groups that exist all over this country, groups that exist for one purpose alone and that is -- it is hard to imagine -- but to foment hatred against african-americans or gays or immigrants or jews -- people that are different from them. and we have to take a hard look at those groups. the justice department should be much more active in making sure -- [applause]

mr. sanders: these are the types of groups that educated that sick man. but i'm not just talking about those groups. i'm talking about people like sandra bland and michael brown. [applause] mr. sanders: and walter scott and freddie gray and many, many unarmed african americans who died at the hands of police officers or in police custody. now, i was a mayor for eight years. and let me be the first to tell you as someone who worked very hard with our police department that being a cop today is not an easy job and most police officers are honest and trying

to do their best under difficult circumstances. [applause] mr. sanders: let me also tell you that as in the case of any other public official, when a police officer breaks the law, that officer must be held accountable. [applause] mr. sanders: further, we need fundamental reform of a broken, broken criminal justice system. [applause] mr. sanders: there is a lot to talk about, but let me very briefly highlight some of the

areas that i believe we need to move aggressively in. when i turn on the tv and i see in some cities, small cities all over america, police departments that are heavily militarized, that look like an invading army, that is wrong. [applause] mr. sanders: the best police departments in america are police departments that are part of the community. [applause] mr. sanders: where people feel comfortable with police officers and are able to say there is a crack house down the street, where people have confidence in a police force that is working with them, not against them. [applause]

mr. sanders: when i was mayor of burlington, we moved towards the concept of community policing -- making police officers part of the community. we also -- police departments are run by communities but the federal government can play a role. police departments all across america should reflect the diversity of the community they serve. [applause] mr. sanders: we also need to take a hard look at the use of force doctrine that exists in many police departments. good police officers -- i have seen it personally many times -- are able to deflect a volatile situation. that is good police work. [applause]

mr. sanders: many officers are trained to do that. that is tough. i have seen police officers get in the middle of a fight. we should understand lethal force is the last resort, not the first. [applause] mr. sanders: we need to begin rethinking the war on drugs. [applause] mr. sanders: i find it remarkable and disturbing that many young americans have received a criminal record for smoking or possessing marijuana, but not one major wall street executive has a criminal record for destroying our economy.

[applause] mr. sanders: when congress reconvenes in september, i will be offering legislation which ends the absurdity and injustice of private corporations making profits by building and running jails. [applause] mr. sanders: corporations should not be making a profit on the incarceration of americans.

[applause] mr. sanders: further, we need to understand that substance addiction, whether it is drugs or alcohol or whatever, is a disease. is a disease. it is a serious disease that exists in my state, it exists all over this country. and we need to aggressively treat that disease and not see it as a crime. [applause] mr. sanders: and that means that we need to invest in drug courts and medical and mental health intervention. [applause]

mr. sanders: it is a pretty crazy situation when many of the people in jail are mentally ill. [applause] mr. sanders: and i can tell you i get calls in my office, other senators get calls from people who say, you know what, i am really worried about my brother. i don't know what he is going to do to himself or somebody else, but we cannot find a mental health counseling that we need and can afford. that is crazy. [applause] mr. sanders: and we also need to develop a path back from prison. [applause] mr. sanders: nobody should be

shocked that if somebody leaves prison without a job, without education, without decent housing, they will go back to the environment that they got into jail in the first place. [applause] mr. sanders: we have got a lot of work to do on criminal justice. but keep in mind, it costs more money to keep somebody in jail than to send them -- [applause] mr. sanders: when we talk about bringing our people together, let us not forget that today there are 11 million undocumented people in this country. i was in phoenix a few weeks ago talking to a group of young

hispanic kids. tears rolling out of their eyes because they were fearful of being deported or having their parents deported. we need to provide legal protection now for the undocumented. [applause] mr. sanders: we need comprehensive immigration reform and we need a path towards citizenship. [applause] mr. sanders: a number of years ago, as all of you will recall, there was a fierce debate about whether the united states should go to war in iraq.

i listened to what bush and cheney and donald rumsfeld had to say. [booing] mr. sanders: and i did not believe them. i voted against the war in iraq. [applause] mr. sanders: and it does not make me happy, it truly does not, to tell you that much of what i said during that debate -- go to youtube and look at what i said -- sadly, much of what i feared would happen did happen in terms of the destabilization of the region. and now, as you know, there is another debate about the president's plan to make certain that iran does not get a nuclear weapon. [applause]

mr. sanders: now, i find it astounding that many of my republican colleagues seem to have forgotten what the wars in iraq and afghanistan have done to our people and to our country. they forgot about the 6700 brave men and women who died. they forgot about the young men who came home without legs and arms. they forgot about the 500,000 who came home with posttraumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injuries. [applause] mr. sanders: and, by the way, if this country stands for anything, we have to stand with those people who came home from war. [applause]

mr. sanders: but now, the debate is over iran and whether or not congress should approve the agreement worked on by the president and secretary kerry. well, i don't think this is a perfect agreement. the united states had to negotiate with five other countries. plus germany, plus iran. but, i believe we should do everything possible to see that iran does not get a nuclear weapon without going to war. [applause] mr. sanders: and it really, really does trouble me how quickly, how easily in a sense -- people say we don't want this agreement, we don't trust iran.

we don't like iran. what they are really saying is yes, we will go to war against iran. now, a great nation is a nation that does everything possible to cultivate in this very difficult and crazy world -- nobody has any answers to all of the craziness in this world. isis and everything else. but, we should be a leader in the world in trying to resolve international conflict in a peaceful way and not in another war. [applause] mr. sanders: you have been very kind tonight in this rather hot room. [laughter] [applause]

mr. sanders: let me close by saying two things. first, this campaign, honestly, is not about me. it is about all of us. i cannot do it alone. we need millions of people to reach out to bring people into the political process. to make certain that our friends and family do not continue to vote against their own interests. [applause] mr. sanders: and the second and last point i want to make, i want you all not to think small. i want you to think big. country,he wealthiest or smalle a haiti

country, it is too bad we cannot do this. that is not america. we can join the rest of the industrialized world and guaranty health care as a right. [applause] mr. sanders: we can have the best childcare system in the world, not a dysfunctional one. [applause] mr. sanders: we can join other countries and make sure that every person in this country, regardless of income, can get a higher education. [applause] : we can make certain

that every senior in our country can live in dignity and security. [applause] mr. sanders we can make certain : that a veteran that his or her life to defend us gets the quality health care and benefits they have earned. [applause] mr. sanders: and we can make certain that no american, regardless of their race, their religion, their disability, or their sexual orientation, we can make sure that all americans realize the full potential of the quality that is our birthright as americans. [applause] sanders: if we stand

together as a nation, if we do not allow them to divide us up by race or sexual orientation or the country we came from, there is nothing, nothing that together we cannot accomplish. thank you all very much. [applause] ♪ keep on rocking in the free ♪rld keep on rocking in the free

>> thank you, bernie. >> thank you, senator. columbia, south

carolina is senator bernie sanders. senator, thank you very much for being with us tonight on c-span. sen. sanders: my pleasure. host: you mentioned a few months ago when we sat down to talk to you that you were building a movement. three-and-a-half months into your campaign, are you aware that you thought you would be? sen. sanders: no, we are far ahead of where i thought we would be. the turnouts that we have seen all of this country, including a conservative state like south carolina -- what we are seeing today is far beyond what i thought possible in the 3 1/2 months we have been in the campaign. it is not only that. last month, we did a digital organizing effort. we had 3700 locations in 50 states in america bringing out over 100,000 people. up to this point, we have received individual contributions from some 400,000

americans, averaging $31.20. in terms of the support that we are seeing in so many ways, we are far beyond where i thought we would be after 3 1/2 months. host: your speech lighting up the twitter universe. i asked your viewers -- ask our viewers, keep your comments brief. we begin with irene on the line for democrats in san antonio, texas. guest: hi, thank you so much. c-span, thank you so much for airing bernie's rally. i felt like i had a front-row seat, which was amazing. i am in san antonio, texas. i don't know if he's going to make it down here. i have been following him for years. i am a huge supporter. i can't even tell you how ecstatic i was when he said he was running. e alreadye at "-- h had me at "i'm running."

if you build it, they will come. i'm not having a lot of good feelings yet, but it's going to happen. it's momentum. host: we will get a response. thank you irene. sen. sanders: i think there is a lot of momentum. the reason for that is that we are talking about issues that are, in fact, on the hearts and minds of the american people. which most people in politics do not talk about. nobody thinks it is right at the 1% in thisof the country is as much as the bottom 90%. people don't think that is what america or our economy is supposed to be about. when you raise issues like that and come up with concrete ideas, people all over this country. in texas and elsewhere, are shaking their heads and saying,

yeah, we need to build beyond establishment politics and establishment economics. host: another famous saying, "bernie sanders, a really smart guy. i wish we could get more of this more often." are you sensing that on the campaign trail? sen. sanders: i absolutely am. you an i chatted a couple months ago. never in my wildest imagination what i believe that we would have thousands of people coming out to rallies in greenville, south carolina or here in columbia, south carolina. nobody would have told me that we would have 28,000 people coming up to portland, oregon. were 27,000 in los angeles. not just the size of the crowds, it's enthusiasm. it makes me a bit nervous. as i said tonight, this is not about me. i cannot do it alone. what we need is a political movement of millions of people

who are getting involved in the political process in a way that we have not done in the past. if we continue to have low voter turnout, if people are not paying attention to the major issues facing us, right wing republicans will continue to win. if we can bring people together around a progressive agenda, i think we can transform this country and win this election. host: dee is next from rockford, illinois on the republican line. guest: under the obama administration, ina cancer patient -- i am a cancer patient receiving care. becau were to be elected, se honestly i have been a republican all my life, and i am frustrated. i am frustrated with the choices that we have right now as far as

health care is concerned. took me over a month just to get what might he moved treatments. chemot to get one of my treatments because of the insurance i am on through the obama administration. what would you plan to do differently if you were elected? sen. sanders: what we should understand, and i fear that not every american does understand this -- we are the only major wealthy industrialized country on earth that does not guarantee health care to all of our people as a right. the system that we have is way, way way out of touch with the rest of the world. i will fight for medicare for all. we can improve it and we should expanded to all people. -- expand it to all people. when you do that, not only do you provide quality health care

to all people, you get rid of the profiteering of the insurance companies and drug companies. drug companies are charging us, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. and we can provide quality care for all of our people that is significantly less per capita then we are currently spending. that is my goal in terms of health care. host: deborah is joining us from minneapolis on the independent line. good evening. guest: i don't know what i am, independent or democrat. it's also very confusing. but the one thing that i do know , and i never know how to say it quite right, but on a religious principle, god himself appointed us to all give 10% of what he gave to us. $70 only have 700 month, has to go where it has to go. if everybody paid the same percent as we do, we would have

nothing to complain about. the money that we do gather, when 10% of our income is used towards the one thing that is needed, which is all the things you talked about, there ought to be enough money. that is all i have to say. sen. sanders: deborah, let me approach the issue from a slightly different perspective. number one, we are the wealthiest country in the history of the world. not only the world, but the history of the world. the problem is most people don't feel that because almost all of the wealth and much of the income is going to the top 1%. what we have seen in the last 30 years in this country is a massive transfer of wealth, which has gone from the middle class and working families, whose percentage of wealth has 1%unk, to the top 1/10th of

whose percentage has a most doubled. -- has almost doubled. if we address that issue, sending that welcome back to the middle class, we can do enormous thing. we have to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. we have to make public housing for universities free. we need health care for all of her people. childcare is a disaster. there is a lot of work to be done. we can do it. we are not a poor country. the problem is that so few have so much, and so money have so little. that is what has got to change. host: senator, let me follow this up from jesse, who tweeted, "i tried to refinance my private school loans, but no luck. how would you convince the banks to help people like me?" sen. sanders: it's not a question of convincing the banks, it's a question of changing the law.

what jesse is talking about is the absurdity of folks today who have seen that we have over $1 trillion in student debt for millions of americans. 10%.ere paying 6%, they cannot, by law, refinance. they are stuck with that indefinitely. the law i'm proposing will allow them to refinance. right now, you can refinance 3-4% home your mortgage to depending on where you live, yet people are stuck with 8-12% interest rates on their student loans. that is crazy. now the government, who holds much of that student at, is making huge profits. -- holds much of that student debt. rates varyr interest significantly. -- very significantly.

that is what my legislation does. host: chuck joins us from benton, washington. our guest is bernie sanders from a rally in south carolina. chuck, go ahead please. guest: senator sanders, i am honored. my wife and my 18-year-old daughter watched tonight. we were very moved. i was a supporter, but they were believers now. i was born in the eisenhower ministration. i look at that time and see a great country that invested in infrastructure and made great strides socially and was a people of peace. i think we were great at that time. you are restoring that. and i thank you, sir. sen. sanders: well chuck, thank you very much. i think you make a very good point. like david eisenhower -- was the

eisenhower, president from 1952-1950 was a moderate republican. he was not a radical. , under theunderstood eisenhower administration, created a highway system. and we did a lot more. what has happened, family, since that time -- sadly, since that time, the republican party has long forgotten eisenhower heritage. they would now be left out of the public and party today. -- the public and party. they have moved very far to the right. there are some great people in the democratic party, but we have to be honest. money has controlled the democrats as well. what we need is a system that overturns this disastrous

citizens united. i don't think that is asking too much to have a government that represents the vast majority of the people. the middle class working people, the low income people, and not just wealthy campaign contributors. that is what we are fighting for. maybe one more question if that is ok. host: let's go to doug from boulder, colorado, on the republican line. guest: hello senator sanders. i am a republican. i think the brand has been destroyed since nixon. i voted for obama and feel like i was burned from all the promises. he made a lot of promises that struck near and dear to my heart. but nothing relal happened. am, looking for

someone that i can back that speaks clearly. [indiscernible] i'm very interested in what you have to say. but i also have a very negative opinion of politics. democrats want money and don't know where to go. investn't know how to what is required to make sure it goes to the right place. sen. sanders: i'm having a little bit of difficulty hearing you. host: let me jump in. are you saying you are disillusioned with both political parties? is that a fair statement? guest: yes.

host: let me get senator sanders to respond to that point. sen. sanders: i think the caller represents the vast majority of the american people. we just had an election last november. 63% of the american people didn't vote. 80% of young people didn't vote. i think people are looking at washington and are very disillusioned. working longer hours for lower wages, i'm worried about kind of change, billionaires are buying the system. millions of people are saying, nobody represents me, i'm not going to vote. i understand that. monday the -- let me be very clear. bernie sanders, if elected president, cannot do it all. can't do it all. i'm a making any promises to you that i'm going to do all these things. to be truthful with you, the

powers of wall street, the powers of the large campaign donors, the powers of corporate america, the impact of corporate media is so great that no president, no matter how well-intentioned, can do it all. that is why i believe we need a mass grassroots political movement in this country, where people begin to stand together. and when that happens, when millions of people speak in a voice that says to the billionaires, sorry, you can't have it all, you are going to have to start paying fair share of taxes, we will not continue sending our jobs to china. when people begin to say, yes, we are going to raise the minimum wage, we are going to make college affordable for all of our people. when people get involved, there is nothing that we can't accomplish. i don't want to tell anybody, hey, vote for me, i have all the

problems solved. not the case. what i'm trying to do in his campaign is not just get elected president, but to build a movement that can take on the very powerful special interests which today control washington. host: let me jump in with one final question. news from the associated press, joe biden is reportedly gaming his own way of potentially entering the race. if he were to enter the race, how would that change the dynamics in this democratic campaign? sen. sanders: i honestly don't know. i have known joe biden for many years. i like them, i respect him. a very decent guy. if joe biden gets into the race, i will do everything that i can. somebody, the way -- by the way, who has never run a negative attitude is like. i will debate them on the issues facing the american people.

how would ultimately lays out politically, your guess is as good as mine. host: how are you holding up in the midst of these events? sen. sanders: i'm doing great. host: we will be covering you in mid-september at liberty university. why that location? sen. sanders: it is very easy to talk to an audience that is sympathetic to you. those are the people who come out to our rallies. it is very different to talk to a very very conservative university, whose views on many of the major issues are very different than mine. i think in america, it is a good idea for people involved in politics to start talking to folks who may not agree with them on any issue. the issues that i will race at liberty university are issues

of morality, something the university is concerned about. the morality of having so much income and wealth. the morality of having the highest rate of childhood poverty in a country honor. -- country on earth. why we are the only major country that doesn't guarantee health care to all people. that is the kind of discussion that i hope to engender by going to liberty university. host: senator bernie sanders in claudia, south carolina. --columbia, south carolina. >> next, your calls and comments on washington journal. then john kasich ohio holds a town hall meeting in new hampshire. then the live road to the white house coverage from the iowa state fair. representativegn
