your reaction to what is happening in vermont. this is crazy. >> brian, this is insane. i see stuff like they keep thinking somebody's going to jump out and say this is a prank, there is all just a joke. this is all just some big social experiment to test and see who is going to fall for this insanity under social pressure to get along and month is going to have the courage to stand up and say what is obviously clear which is this is literal insanity but hasn't happened yet and not going happen because this is happening, it's real and there are very real serious consequences. we are talking about our children here and these teachers are telling our kids there is no such thing as objective truth. the truth is whatever you want it to be, whatever you feel it should be and whatever those in power tell you the truth is. this has such incredible dangerous consequences because it gets to the point where those in power not only in government but knows in big tech in the mainstream media those who have this great influence they're seeing that they can get people to believe whate

vermont senator, bernie sanders. president biden announced this week that he's running for reelection and you have already endorsed him. why is it that not a single leading democrat is willing to contest that nomination in the primary in primary? >> i suspect that has to do with the real fear with the growth extreme right. the party has become an extremist right wing party. this is a party that, not all, but many don't believe in democracy anymore. you have many republicans maintaining the lie that trump actually won the election. you have republicans working overtime to deny low income people, people of color, young people the right to vote. people who defended the insurrection in january 6. so the first answer to your question, chris is that i think there's a great fear in this country about attacks even democracy. we want to maintain democracy. >> so you're saying it's more fear of donald trump and maga than it is enthusiasm for joe biden? >> i think that's half of it. but the other half is a recognition, i think,

i come from vermont. it was a cold day. you know what we do in vermont when it's cold?ely. the happy ending is that my campaign, in a non-political way, put our t-shirts. we made millions of dollars from that for low income organizations, meals on wheels and other groups in vermont. >> as we have mentioned, you are 81 years old. you are up for re-election in 2024. have you decided whether or not you are going to run? >> i have not. one of the concerns that i have -- it's kind of pushed by the media -- is we have ne neverneverend i -- never-ending elections. elections officials should work for the people. i'm chairman of the health, education, labor pension committee. i have a lot of work to do. instead of talking about running for office, maybe we should do work for the american people. i will make that decision at the appropriate time. much too early. >> senator sanders, thank you. this was a pleasure. >> thank you. >> i always enjoy the conversation. it's stimulating. >> even if you are too old to understand what i was saying, i enjoyed it as well. >> coming up, we go

the vermont thing is not a proxy.the vermont thing is exactly what is going on around the country. >> i appreciate that perspective. i will turn to one other point, which is that we talk about corporate greed as if it's something brand-new. of course, profit incentive and greed has been there since the beginning of humankind. but there is also union greed. great exists throughout our society, there various enterprises. but let me ask, your company is highly profitable. it was profitable, i presume, very early on. it became profitable as time went on. where does all that profit go? does it go to all pay you in the senior executives? where does the profit go of an enterprise? did it all go dividends, or stock buybacks? where has your profit gone over the history of our company? >> the majority of profits that starbucks has made has gone back into infrastructure, roasting plans, 800,000 $2 million to build a store. the profits to the company has gone back to the business. now, what's most important though is when we take
