hey everyone welcome to the progressive social warriors okay so I came across
this Wolf Blitzer Jane Sanders interview and it got right under my skin so I
wanted to show it to you guys and give you my thoughts on it break it down and
have you guys give your thoughts on it talking about the recent shooting of the
Bernie Sanders supporter who shot her a Republican congressman and this
interview got right under my skin so let's play it and I want to break it
down since the shooting there certainly been a lot of talk about the type of
language that a lot of the politicians are using I want to play something for
you that your husband said while talking to an audience of progressives this past
weekend then we'll discuss listen to this today in the White House we have
perhaps the worst and most dangerous president in the history of our country
with time strike 30 because you go too far in speaking like that about the
president what in hindsight what is this asshole trying
to imply that Bernie Sanders saying that Donald Trump is the most dangerous and
worst president might have caused an unhinged person who happened to support
Bernie Sanders to go on a shooting spree is that what he's trying to imply wow I
could be wrong that's the way I took it and in the time where people like joy
Reid are going around tweeting about Bernie Sanders gun record as some sort
of reasoning for why one of his supporters went on a shooting spree and
shot a Republican congressman now they've got people like Wolf Blitzer
saying in hindsight should Europe should your husband have been calling the
president dangerous because that might have got someone to go on a shooting
spree are you kidding me Wolf Blitzer Wow that's now let me just be clear on
this I'm not saying that's exactly what he was implying but that's the way I
took it because of this subtle and what he's saying so
all I'll let you guys decide you guys can let me know if you took it the same
way I took it but that's the way I took it and I think and for me that's that's
such an asshole move to do something like that that was just something that
really struck a nerve in me and I wanted to show you guys I don't think so wolf I
think what's interesting is that was the people summit and what I noticed on the
weekend was that without any prior discussion rose and immoral Nina Turner
Van Jones Bernie and I all spoke about being being careful and and being
involved with with our policies and with our facts but not engaging in the
politics of personal destruction that we believed in civil discourse now
dangerous I mean when you throw 23 million people off of health care
without even a hearing that's dangerous to those 23 million people we have to
have we have to be able to discuss the issues without demonizing the opponent
and honestly wolf I think the media needs to look at itself as well the
media it characterizes every conversation as as a an adversarial one
your job the media's job I think is to illuminate the facts not fan the flames
and the media continues to cover the latest scandal the latest back and forth
but not the issues so much love in your life your update without with all due
respect if a president or a senator or someone of authority is making very very
strong statements you want us to simply ignore those statements if there's a
social media post a tweet and the president says something really really
strong or senator Bernie Sanders says this is the worst and most dangerous
president in the history of our country do you want us to censor those words out
of the news beat Wolf Blitzer you know that's not what she's saying you know
what she's saying is once you guys trying to do some issue based news for
once you try talking about income inequality and universal health care
the fight for 15 they're talking about Donald Trump tweeting out coalface a and
talked about that for five hours why don't you guys stop bringing on someone
who's a climate change denier and someone who believes in climate change
and have them discussed it like it's an actual debate and actually do some real
reporting and chime in because you know you actually have people who can fact
check these things and actually interrupt and do some real journalism
and instead of just having one person say that climate change isn't real and
the other person saying that climate change is and step in and tell the
people that you know actually with the evidence climate change is real and it
is man-made you know once you do something like that once you guys do
those that kind of news instead of the kind of news that you do now that's what
she's saying Wolf Blitzer here what what are you to judge me
well I'm suggesting that just like the Democrats and the Republicans and the
independents and the progressives are all thinking about what happened in this
presidential race that the media needs to do some self-reflection as well the
media are doing a lot of we're doing I could assure you we're doing a lot of
self-reflection we're always looking back we're looking lessons we want to
make sure that as the first draft of history we get it right when we make a
mistake we certainly always correct it as quickly as possible this is not a
perfect science by any means but you know it's it's you hear a lot of
criticism of the mainstream media Jane from the conservative elements on the
right wing we're getting a lot of criticism from the left wing from the
progressives people like you as well it underscores that we're trying to do is
responsible a job as we possibly can and we certainly aren't going to try to
censor very strong statements from people of responsibility okay well
Blitzer so you guys are doing some self-reflecting is that right so I guess
you're not going to things like this anymore you know so Donald Trump's
podium for hours while Bernie Sanders is giving a speech after a great victory in
the primary while you guys don't solve Bernie Sanders you show Donald Trump's
empty podium you so you're not going to do things like that anymore right cause
you're self reflecting right there was no violence at that convention when they
first of all showed only wanting the shoulding threat one so long it was
separate the two thing so at the convention itself sure show me one video
there where showed chairs being thrown Bernie and everybody else show me where
the chairs are actually being thrown there was I reviewed Simoes video so
you're not going to things like that anymore right Wolf Blitzer where you put
out a narrative of Bernie Sanders supporters throwing chairs when there
was no chairs being throwing so you're not gonna do anything like that anymore
right well Blitzer because you're self reflecting now right okay you're also
not going to do things like this anymore - I'm guessing right and he was unable
to articulate a plan to dismantle big banks and I want to read the exact quote
on that one here it is so the values that Sanders how do you know about
breaking up the big banks Mr Sanders how you go about doing it is having
legislation passed or giving the authority to the secretary of the
Treasury to determine under dodd-frank that sound effects are dangerous to the
economy over the problems to the detail the daily news fall days are up by
asking this do you think that this Fed has the authority to break up the big
banks Sanders said well I don't know if the Fed has that authority no Nicki
shouldn't Sanders know that well actually you know there's great
fact-checking done on this in The New York Times which I would write on this
you know the quantity where the entire transcript is very long about forty five
minutes to read he went into detail about how the determination of how to
break up the big banks lies within Congress or de+ and the president
authorities have said the problem is if you take as we hear in the media take
little bits out of context and don't show us a full picture and to be clear
you can walk there let me see this only senator that responds in open water I
know you're not going to do it so you're not gonna do anything like this anymore
right Wolf Blitzer where you have one of your anchors pack into a Bernie
supporter with with the smirk on her face when the bringi supporters trying
to explain to her what exactly Bernie Sanders met when she's trying to twist
Bernie Sanders words and make it seem like he doesn't know what he's talking
about you're not gonna do things like that
anymore right Wolf Blitzer okay then I'm also guessing you're going to start
covering better things you know like node Apple you know you're going to
start covering those those kind of issues right because your
self-reflecting wolf blitzer and you're going to start covering the Dakota
access pipeline and your can and you're not going to have us progressives and
our movement having to cover stuff like this and then shame you guys into at
least at least acknowledging it that it exists you're not gonna do things like
that anymore right Wolf Blitzer and CNN I'm also guessing your talk about Flint
Michigan and all the other water crisis all over America that's making America
look like a third-world country because you can't even get clean drinking water
I guess you're going to start covering stories like that too right so when I
turn on CNN I'm going to see those kind of stories I'm guessing right that's the
kind of stuff reflection you're going to do I'm guessing right Wolf Blitzer Wolf
Blitzer has no clue he's a robot he's a teleprompter reader he's an actor
reading with that with that small gasp face of his trying to tell us that CNN
is self-reflecting CNN is not self-reflecting CNN barely does issue a
policy issue based news very rare that they do that kind of news it's always
about this person arguing with this person and and what's Donald Donald
Trump's last tweet it's very very rare that they do something with actual
substance that's actually going to matter in your lives and that's why I
never watched CNN and that's why a lot of people don't watch CNN anymore or the
or the mainstream media in itself because they don't cover real issues and
if they do it's very minimal issues that matter in your lives anyways anyways I
just want to hear I just want to give you my thoughts on it he kind of pissed
me off and I'd like to know you guys have to think about it also you know if
you want to help small youtuber trying to get his word out I would what I would
much appreciate your support and maybe you can subscribe and maybe click on
that Bell notification and if you ever come across this video that you might
think is interesting and all you can always watch it I'd appreciate that
thanks everyone
