thank you, robert reich. >> are we going to see republicans who champion these videos change their tune on this now that the people who created them have been indicted for felonies? >> i think what you're going to see out of the videos more important than who crossed whatever legal lines is the fact that this is understood to go on and is an accepted practice. and that is -- and in some circumstances is legal. the question is, what it legal in the circumstances at issue in these videos. but the bigger problem that most of the republicans are getting at, the ted cruz is getting at, what does this say about us as a country. is this okay? are people comfortable with selling aborted babies. >> not selling. >> call it what you want. >> that's the key point. that was the word used found by a grand jury not to be the case. i just want to make clear of that -- >> then explain -- so then you don't want your question answered. you want me to say yes to your declaration. >> i don't want that word used when that was the thing that was the point of debate. your point about people need to wrestle wit

jolt: i talked to robert reich about this.ecause wealth inequality has become such an issue, growing so rapidly, anyone who kind of took of the occupy movement beliefs would have gotten these kind of crowds, these kind of donors. he thinks elizabeth warren may have done even a little better. i disagree. because bernie sanders looks someone and occupy rally, you know, he does not care about his hair. he is crumpled. he is so fiery and angry. i think he become the kind of perfect vehicle for all of that anger that you see on the left -- and the right. and you see it in the donald trump supporters, the tea party. physically,mbodies, that kind of anger at wall street. carroll: also, you put in your story -- you talk about this one kind of message that he is really trying to go after. he is really struggling with all of the inequality that is out there. i think that is something that is really timely, right? coming out of the financial crisis, for the american lit at large. joel: he became a very national figure. he is weird, but i

. >> i asked robert reich, the former secretary of labor under president clinton, if establishment isl term within the context of the democratic party. >> i think it is still clear because there are party leaders, big corporation, wall street. there are very wealthy individuals who kind of represent where the democratic party, the official democratic party was and to some extent still is. >> and what about these groups? i mean, the controversy over these comments, which as we noted senator sanders has walked back, he's been attacked over them by hillary clinton, the context was planned parenthood and human rights campaign, which i think a lot of people feel those are progressive organizations. they're not the establishment. what do you think about that? >> well, they're not really the establishment. and i can't obviously speak for senator sanders or about planned parenthood. but what we do see, and we've seen for years in america, is that the establishment, that is, the big banks and the executives and the wealthy do support a lot of non-profits and make the non-profits basically walk

bernie sanders: robert reich, the former secretary of labor. >> who are the classic economic writerson these issues? sen. sanders: i'm a keynesian in many respects. i believe trickle down economics, tax breaks for the rich and large corporations, i do not think it has ever worked. i believe in putting money by raising the minimum wage and creating jobs and putting the money into the hands of working people, not only improving their lives with more disposable income, they will spend more money and create more jobs. >> as amazing as network computing has been, the real productivity enhancer was indoor plumbing. internal combustion. will network computing actually provide the productivity boost that the model t did? >> i agree with robert gordon, that the 20th century was a hard act to follow. my grandfather says he was born when there were horses and buggies and he saw a man walk on the moon. it is difficult to get boons like indoor plumbing twice. the kind of technological innovations we are seeing are pretty incredible. >> are they creating economic growth? many things they create th
