Watch: Senator Bernie Sanders Joins Joe Rogan Podcast, Slams Wealthy Americans...
• https://www.infowars.com, by Infowars.comSenator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) joined "The Joe Rogan Experience" this week for an episode released Tuesday where he bashed rich U.S. citizens and floated his dream of a socialist utopia where everyone is given "free" money.
Speaking about the current state of America, the longtime U.S. senator blamed all of the nation's biggest problems on excessive wealth and megacorporations.
Touching on a bit of reality, Sanders noted Wall Street firms such as Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street have obtained a monopoly on 95% of American corporations.
Continuing to complain about billionaires, the Vermont politician pointed out SpaceX CEO Elon Musk spent $270 million to help President Trump get elected while ignoring the $1.5 billion Democrat candidate Kamala Harris received among all her megadonors.
Sharing one of his main ideas for fixing the alleged issues with capitalism, Senator Sanders pitched the "Universal Basic Income" (UBI) idea where citizens automatically receive money from the government even if they do not work.
When Rogan suggested a UBI would remove the purpose or "meaning" many people find in life by working jobs, Sanders found it difficult to explain how their lives would be fulfilling.
The podcast host also said the government would have the power to take away or limit the income being provided to individuals who decide to "step outside the lines" or do something the government doesn't like.
Discussing Israel, Sanders admitted the Hamas attack on October 7th was atrocious but said the response from Netanyahu's military has been overboard and that women and children are being murdered and starved to death.
He also revealed it's "political suicide" for Democrat politicians to speak out against the Israeli government.
Giving a small bit of credit to the MAGA movement, the senator praised GOP Rep. Thomas Massie for pushing back against America entering the Iran war and agreed when Rogan said MAGA is opposed to the U.S. engaging in new wars.
Sanders fairly criticized Trump for lashing out against any Republican who barely steps out of line and disagrees with his policies while ignoring the fact that the same thing happens among Democrats at a more extreme level where the entire cult-like base ostracizes those who stray from the pack on any topic.
