bernie sanders:absolutely.oodman: march 15th, super tuesday iii, was the night when rubio gave his speech, and ted cruz gave his speech, clinton gave her speech, and donald trump, they waited for half an hour for him to give his speech and showed the open podium, as they often did. they showed more of the open podium waitingng for donald trup than ever playing your speeches. that's what - those were all the candidates that ninight. and they played all their full speeches. they did not play one word of your speech. you were speaking in phoenix, arizona, to the largest rally of any of those people that night. they didn't even speculate where you were. sen. bernie sanders: i wish i could disagree with you. [laughter] no, no, no, amy is raising a veryand we go into it in the book. i was stunned. i mean, you know, in the middle of the campaign, you're not figuring out this stuff or thinking about it. turns out that from january 1st, 2015, i think, through november 2015, abc evening news had us on for 20 seconds. amy

-- >> bernie is not going to be here. >> staff from the bernie sanders campaign and come meet us. >> it took a lot of experimenttation. because people came together and they did want to get to work, but we actually had to create-- it's funny because, so the method that we eventually developed in these meetings that did get people to work and not just to work once, but to work you know, every week or two times a week, that they'd be running phone banks, phone banks was sort of the one tool that we could have that we could put people into for a bunch of reasons so we poured people into that. but it took a while to develop the exact technique that worked. and it wasn't that the innovations were mind-boggling. get people to sign up in the back of the room and then make a lineup in the front and make each one say something attractive about their meeting or just personal, personalize their meeting, like i'm going to cook, you know, i'll have burgers, somebody bring chips. that was enough, people i'll bring chips to her party, you know? and we called them parties. we didn't call them meetin

bernie will not be here. >> it actually took a lot of pics of your mentation.people, but we actually have to create. the method we develop that could get people to work and not just once, but to work to times a week that they'd be running phone banks.d the one tool that we have that we could get people into for budget reasons. which is poured people into that. but it took a while to develop the exact technique that works. it's not like any of the innovations were mind-boggling. it was like we just tried stepping get people to sign up in the back of the room and make them line up and make each one say some pain attract good about their meeting or just personalize their meeting like i am going to cook, you know, i'll have burgers. somebody bring chips. and we called them parties. we didn't call them meetings. we didn't make them boring. we moved on and said it's going to be parties.ng the funny thing is with this technique, you know, in the old days of organizing, it was just organizing.iz you had to work out your way of doing the meeting that would work. he just

a bernie sanders rally notice the soviet flag? don't progressives know the soviet union failed as it was awful for people? society has become prosperous thanks to capitalism. people enjoying a prosperity often don't realize it through their lives are pretty good only because of free markets. the richest country in latin america now is chilly but 50 years ago chile was poor. >> people were convinced that the way out for society was communism. they actually wanted to destroy the market. john: he's a former minister of finance. the calmness destroyed the market and brand the economy to the ground. that led to violence much like what we see in venezuela now. augusta pinochet took over the government. he was vicious come heat killed and jailed thousands of people. he had the sense to leave the economy to people who understood it better than he did. he turned to economists who studied milton friedman at the university of chicago. >> people that believed in free markets is a free society. john: milton friedman said i never advised pinoch

up next, my interview with bernie sanders.when i ask him about a foreign leader he respects or he's even heard of. >>> as we count down 2017 in the united states, other countries have already rung in the new year. here vietnam where they held a concert. looks good. and united nations security con se council endorses a cease-fire. if the cease fire does hold, peace talks will take place next month. now back to "hardball." >> welcome back to "hardball." in february of 2016, in the heat of the democratic primary fight, i interviewed vermont senator, bernie sanders, on the "hardball" college tour at his alma mater, the university of chicago. senator sanders made his case for a political revolution in this country, but when i pressed him on how he could actually get his progressive platform through the u.s. congress if he were elected president, sanders put up a fight. let's watch. >> now, you're asking me, how do i pay for it -- >> i haven't asked that. i asked you, how do you pass it through the senate? how do you get 60 votes fo

but instead, this is the blind bernie be grudgery. so i sort of regret the fact that bernie sanders couldn't be more magnanimous. >> he said donald trump ran as a different kind of candidate and he certainly did. and he talked about draining the swamp, he criticized hillary clinton for having given the speeches to goldman sachs, other banks, et cetera. but now he's tapped a wall street tycoon as treasury secretary, a billionaire to run congress drawing from what he called that swamp. would it be fair for some of his working class supporters to feel that they were sold a false bill of goods? >> no, because these people will be working for him. they will carry out his policies. what is important is if the i don't be job is done, are they going to carry out donald trump's policies. i'm confident that they will.go trump's policies. i'm confident that they will. donald trump wants to make sure that he carries out his campaign promises so i don't be grudge someone who made a lot of money to go into government. >> but it was donald trump who

this is bernie sanders. sen. sanders: the new approach, i think, is due, a, create a 50 state strategy. that means we start playing ball in states that the democrats have conceded decades ago. that more importantly, we create a kind of grassroots party where the most important people in the party are not just wealthy campaign contributors, but working people, young people, people in the middle class who are going to come in and start telling us what their needs are and give us some ideas as to how we go forward. i accept this responsibility as outreach chair with a lot of trepidation, but also with excitement.. i will be going around the country to try to do everything i can to create a party which represents working people and not just the 1%. amy: a lot of questions. and he encourage people to watch the full hour at democracynow.org. you were a b big supporter of bernie sanders. you served on the democratic platform committee on behalf of bernie sanders. do you think he is right to work on reforming the democra

a democratic operative said bernie sanders might be a white supremacist. if that's your world view, you are going to lose forever. kennedy: that's what i'm talking about, they throw around terms that are serious but become meaningless, and that's how you become irrelevant. but not you, robbie. come to new york and join the panel. >> it would be a pleasure. kennedy: your love life is about to get doused with cold water. gregg gut femed joins me to explain. and he is hot under the collar. stay put. kennedy: uber band passengers from touching, flirting and having sex in their cars. that's obvious. fluids and yuck. but how do you ban flirting? if the driver decides the passengers are flirting or catches them touching. they could lose their accounts or get bad ratings. uber has not even announced what counts as flirting. but i know who knows what that is. he's the host of the greg gutfeld show, and co-host of "the five." is this the beginning of sharia law in this country? >> i think so. i agree with this. i believe uber, it should be total silence. i don't nee

and bernie sanders -- i'd also like to publicly thank bernie sanders for his affect on our campaign becauseon. he won 22 states in 13 million voters, and that ain't nothing. >> and worked hard to deliver them for hillary clinton i will add. >> he did, but i was at the same convention in philadelphia, the democratic convention, the fact is his supporters were protesting her. he was in the hall being a soldier, but his supporters were not. and you saw on election day, you if you read the polls, still many were upset by the way he was treated and the fact that the views they took to the table were never really fully assimilated into the clinton/kaine campaign. i assumed her choice of tim kaine had something to do with virginia, but not being overshadowed. i thought that he was not a particularly effective pick in the end. or at the beginning. and certainly not the vice presidential debate which was not even close. he interrupted the female moderator a 30 times, that was not a great moment. somebody was involved in the vice presidential election process suggestions anyway. i work with mike penc

bernie?e going weird right now. i don't know where to go with this. >> let me just say about rex tillerson, the guy's taking a pay cut from $26 million a year to basically nothing. but as far as some of these celebrities, what about scott -- he's never going to work again. he's going to need a job big-time because he came out strong for -- >> it would be great, he would be press spokesman, like in charge, like he could have nicole egert off on the side. a delightful woman. why don't you enlist hollywood special effects and create fictional superhumans for the cabinet to scare isis. they're so gullible, you could have like giant raptors from "jurassic park" as secretary of defense. >> or like optimus prime. >> yes, perfect! a transformer! you know what those are, kat? >> yes, they're the -- the shh things. i get that they probably transform. >> yes. yes. all right, i think we're going to go, on that night. which i would call a down note. for america. coming up, more of this great show, because

he was trying to murder your fellow students. >> bernie?udent, too, why did they not taze him? they would have said why didn't you taze him? >> if he would have stabbed a few more people this is not just political correctness but madness this is why trump got elected partly, and in trump did not pick up the phone, governor kasich and call ohio state university and have the administration throw them off campus and maybe to guantanamo for sympathizing with the terrorists. or offer interesting internship that promises traveling abroad, and you say it an got evening area -- exotic area and you never tell them where, but six hours in the gaza strip. >> exactly. and they get to know isis up clos personal. >> when this happens, i like to see their philosophy. the thing is, you say -- they divide the world into us and them. they say let's get together but they don't really think that. they have their people, they divide the world into powerful and powerless, what they think are powerless and that is where their morality lies and they thought "zero

[applause] [chanting] bernie, bernie, bernie. >> thank you. as i think any of you have heard me say a million times, this is not about bernie, this is about you and us. let me thank you all for coming out to miami-dade college for hosting the event and ron goldfarb for his very generous introduction.want to i want to talk obviously about the book that i suspect there are one or two other things on your mind. [laughter] we will talk about that as well. let's get going. point number one, hillary clinton ended up getting 1.5 million more votes than donald trump. don't forget about that. so if anyone tells you that mr. trump has a mandate to go forward with some of the very reactionary ideas tell them that he lost the popular vote by 1.5 million votes. number two, and this is also, and i want all of you to understand.is busin i've been in this country and i've been around this business for a while and what i'm telling you is true. on virtually, not all but on virtually every major issue facing this country whether it is raising the minimum wage or

we're here with senator bernie sanders.two years, a bit of a media sensation. you've made the talk show rounds. you've been on "saturday night live." one of the great things about this book is you talk about the first time you did a radio interview, and you were not the cool customer that we see here before us today. >> yes. i was on a radio show in -- outside of burlington, vermont. and my knees were shaking so badly, it kept bumping into the table. and the guy that was producing was "stop, stop, stop." [ light laughter ] so my first appearance on vermont radio was people -- i don't know if they heard what i said. they heard this -- [ knocking ] [ light laughter ] so that was my introduction to vermont politics. >> seth: they kept calling in and saying, "let that senator out of whatever box you have him in." [ light laughter ] >> wasn't a senator then. >> seth: oh, that's right. yeah, right. once they heard you banging the desk, they said, "we gotta give this guy a job. he's a mess." [ light laughter ] you do have a lot of

bernie sanders understands that better.disinfranchised by the hillary clinton machine. >> you point out. kelli ann conway said bernie sanders supporters were never fully embraced by the clinton come pain and we could get in to the basket of deplorables report. half of the donald trump supporters which is a quarter of those voting in the election are deplorable. that is not necessarily a way to win friends and influence people. >> i don't disagree, john. the numbers don't show that as the reason why she lost. i cited earlier. one was the division within the democrat party and the differented whys of those willing to move center with hillary clinton and those staying to the left and really didn't want to stop the ref lugz and many of them stayed home and joeted for gary johnson and jill stein. those are the numbers and why she lost. >> she had baggage and a horrible candidate. >> she beat him in the popular election. >> take california and new york out that so what. the constitution matters, lesly. you know that. >> you can't

. >> bernie sanders is back in the bay area tonight. the senator from vermont visited two bay area universities as part of his new book tour and had a message for thousands of supporters who came out to see him. >> frank he's no longer a presidential candidate. but bernie sanders proves he can still draw a crowd. the tickets for the event here and earlier at uc berkeley sold out within hours and he promised the crowds at both locations he will continue fighting for his progressive causes. [ cheers and applause ] >> senator bernie sanders got a standing ovation from a sold out crowd that greeted him. he's on a tour for a newly published book our revolution. now turning the page he promised to continue fighting for progressive values in the new era of president elect donald trump. >> mr. trump does not have a mandate, and our job every day of the week is to remind him of that. >> sanders said while politics is often about compromise he will not compromise on racial equality, fighting wall street corruption or climate change. and he said a
