What Bernie Sanders Wants Hillary To Do Next

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) JOHN, I'M VERY EXCITED.
>> Jon: YEAH.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE MOMENTS FROM NOW, JON --
>> Jon: I KNOW!
>> Stephen: -- MOMENTS FROM NOW IN THAT CHAIR, WE'LL HAVE
THE ONE, THE ONLY SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS SITTING RIGHT THERE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) PRETTY EXCITED.
I'M ALSO EXCITED BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT STEVE BANNON A
LITTLE BIT EARLIER -- Y'ALL CAN HAVE A SEAT -- AND WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT STEVE BANNON A LITTLE BIT EARLIER BECAUSE THEY
TEASED A LITTLE BIT OF HIM THIS MORNING ON THE "CBS THIS
MORNING."
TOMORROW MORNING, MORE OF CHARLIE ROSE'S INTERVIEW, A
PREVIEW OF THE "60 MINUTES" INTERVIEW THIS SUNDAY WILL BE ON
"CBS THIS MORNING" TOMORROW MORNING.
CHECK OUT THIS SHOW A WEEK FROM TUESDAY THE NIGHT AFTER I HOST
THE EMMYS.
A WEEK FROM MONDAY I HOST THE EMMYS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) NO, A WEEK FROM SUNDAY I HOST
THE EMMYS.
A WEEK FROM TUESDAY, HILLARY CLINTON WILL BE SITTING IN THAT
SEAT RIGHT THERE TALKING ABOUT HER NEW BOOK, WHAT HAPPENED.
WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
HOPEFULLY, WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT, NOW, FOR TONIGHT'S
CONTENDER, MY FIRST GUEST IS A FORMER
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, CURRENT INDEPENDENT
SENATOR, AND CONSTANT TOPIC OF -- PERHAPSBERRY SEED IN THE
TOOTH, PLEASE WELCOME SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
>> Stephen: LOOK AT THAT REACTION TO THAT CROWD.
DO YOU MISS IT?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: DO YOU MISS THE
CROWD?
>> DO I MISS IT?
>> Stephen: DO YOU MISS THE CROWDS AT ALL?
BECAUSE YOU BECAME A SEX SYMBOL IN YOUR 70s!
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> NO, THE TRUTH IS I GET ENORMOUS ENERGY AND WHAT
SUSTAINS ME IS GETTING OUT AMONG REAL PEOPLE, CAPITOL HILL AND
FEELING THE LOVE AND DESIRE TO DO GOOD THINGS IN THIS COUNTRY,
SO, YEAH.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE.
YOU'VE GOT A NEW BOOK, IT'S CALLED "STEPHEN COLBERT'S
MIDNIGHT CONFESSIONS " .
( LAUGHTER ) NO, I APOLOGIZE.
OFF NEW BOOK, SHOULD GET THAT.
IT'S CALLED "BERNIE SANDERS GUIDE TO POLITICAL REVOLUTION."
ALL RIGHT?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THIS IS A POLITICAL POWDER KEG
BETWEEN TWO COVERS.
LIGHT A MATCH, STEP BACK REVOLUTION, RIGHT?
>> YEP.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
SOMEBODY ELSE HAS A BOOK NOW, HILLARY CLINTON DOES, AND THAT
BOOK IS CALLED WHAT HAPPENED, AND SHE REMEMBERS YOU FROM THE
CAMPAIGN IN THE BOOK.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE OF THIS.
BUT LIKE A REACTION TO THIS, HILLARY CLINTON SAYS THAT YOUR
ATTACKS DURING THE CAMPAIGN CAUSED LASTING DAMAGE, MAKING IT
HARDER TO UNIFY PROGRESSIVES.
WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT ACCUSATION THAT YOU DAMAGED
AMERICA BY DAMAGING HILLARY CLINTON?
>> ACTUALLY, THE CASES THAT THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT TODAY AND
GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM IS STRONGER THAN IT HAS BEEN IN MANY, MANY
YEARS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) AS A RESULT OF OUR CAMPAIGN,
MILLIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE BEGAN TO VOTE FOR THE FIRST TIME,
BECAME ENGAGED IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS.
WE'RE SEEING YOUNG PEOPLE ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY, WORKING CLASS
PEOPLE, RUNNING FOR OFFICE FROM SCHOOL BOARD TO CONGRESS.
SO I THINK THERE IS A LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING NOW, AMONG PEOPLE
AND WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUT THAT WE HAVE GOT TO STAND TOGETHER
AGAINST TRUMP'S EFFORTS TO DIVIDE US UP, TAKE ON THE
BILLIONAIRE CLASS AND MAKE THAT POLITICAL REVOLUTION SO THAT WE
HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT WORKS FOR ALL OF US, NOT JUST THE 1%.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THOSE ARE THE KIND
OF ATTACKS SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT, BERNIE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> BUT I UNDERSTAND.
LOOK, SECRETARY CLINTON RAN AGAINST THE MOST UNPOPULAR
CANDIDATE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY AND SHE LOST AND WAS
UPSET ABOUT THAT AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT OUR JOB IS NOT TO GO BACKWARDS.
IT IS TO GO FORWARD.
IT IS TO CREATE THE KIND OF NATION WE KNOW WE CAN BECOME.
WE HAVE ENORMOUS PROBLEMS FACING US.
I THINK IT'S SILLY TALKING ABOUT 2016.
WE HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS.
WE'VE GOT THIS DACA ISSUE, THE OUTRAGEOUS EFFORT ON TRUMP'S
PART TO THROW 800,000 PEOPLE OFF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, WE HAVE TO
DEAL WITH CLIMATE CHANGE, RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE, WE HAVE TO
HAVE HEALTHCARE FOR ALL OUR PEOPLE AS A RIGHT.
>> Stephen: I AGREE.
THOSE ARE THE ISSUES WE'VE GOT TO BE FOCUSING ON.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: I AGREE.
I THINK ALL OF US AGREE IT'S IMPORTANT WE LOOK FORWARD.
LET'S TALK ABOUT 2016 ONE MORE TIME BECAUSE HILLARY CLINTON
ALSO TALKS ABOUT SOMETHING CALLED PONY PROMISES, THAT YOU
WERE PROMISING PEOPLE PONIES AND SHE WOULD SAI SAY WHERE ARE THE
PONIES COMING FROM?
ARE WE GOING TO REGULATE THE PONIES, AND YOU WOULD SAY
HILLARY CLINTON HATES PONIES, DOESN'T THINK AMERICA DESERVES
PONIES.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF HER ACCUSATIONS THAT YOU PROMISE TOO
MUCH AND FORCED HER IN A POSITION THAT UNLESS SHE TOOK
THE MOST LEFT WING VIEW SHE WOULD LOSE THE BASE YOU HELPED
CREATE.
>> WHAT ARE THE PROMISES I MADE?
I SAID IN AMERICA WE SHOULD JOIN EVERY OTHER INDUSTRIALIZED
COUNTRY AND GUARANTEE HEALTHCARE TO ALL PEOPLE AS A RIGHT, AND
THERE IS NOW GROWING SENTIMENT FOR THAT EFFORT.
SO THAT'S NOT A PIPE DREAM.
A MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOW BELIEVE THAT THE
GOVERNMENT SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD HAS
HEALTHCARE AS A RIGHT, OKAY?
( APPLAUSE ) I SAID THAT THE $7.25 MINIMUM
WAGE TODAY IS A STARVATION WAGE.
WE'VE GOT TO RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE TO $15 AN HOUR.
( APPLAUSE ) AND RIGHT NOW, STEPHEN, I HAVE
31 CO-SPONSORS IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE FOR THAT PIECE OF
LEGISLATION.
I SAID THAT WE NEED TO REBUILD OUR CRUMBLING INFRASTRUCTURE,
SPEND $1 TRILLION TO DO THAT AND IN DOING THAT WE CAN CREATE UP
TO 15 MILLION DECENT PAYING JOBS, NOW THE OFFICIAL POSITION
OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
I HAVE SAID THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM SO
WE DON'T HAVE MORE PEOPLE IN JAIL THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON
EARTH, GROWING CONSCIOUSNESS ON THAT ISSUE.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: UNIVERSAL FREE
COLLEGE EDUCATION.
>> I SAID THAT WE NEED, IN A COMPETITIVE GLOBAL ECONOMY, TO
MAKE PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TUITION FREE.
TALK TO THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, HE THINKS
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE THEY ALREADY PASSED THAT LEGISLATION.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) AND OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE DOING
IT.
SO THE IDEAS -- THE REAL POINT IS WE BROKE THROUGH A BOX WHICH
SAID YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS, YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT INCOME
INEQUALITY, YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT HEALTHCARE FOR ALL, YOU CAN'T
TAKE ABOUT TAKING ON THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS.
WE DID IT.
WE ENDED UP WITH 13 MILLION VOTES, I THINK WE HELPED
TRANSFORM POLITICS IN AMERICA.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WELL, I HAVE, NEXT
WEEK, JUST A LITTLE OVER A WEEK FROM NOW, I'M GOING TO HAVE
SECRETARY CLINTON SITTING RIGHT THERE TALKING ABOUT HER BOOK.
WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD ASK HER ABOUT THE ACCUSATIONS?
IF YOU WERE GOING TO RESPOND, IF THERE'S A QUESTION I'D LIKE TO
ASK HER ABOUT ABOUT THESE PONIES, WHAT MIGHT IT BE?
>> I THINK THE RESPONSE IS WE HAVE GOT TO THINK GOING FORWARD,
AND I WOULD LIKE HER TO JOIN US IN THE FIGHT FOR 15 IN A
MEDICARE FOR ALL SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM, IN TAKING ON THE FOSSIL
FUEL INDUSTRY SO WE TRANSFORM OUR ENERGY SYSTEM AWAY FROM
FOSSIL FUEL AND MOVE TO ENERGY SUFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABLE
ENERGY.
SO, IN OTHER WORDS, WE NEED HER HELP TO GO FORWARD.
LET'S NOT KEEP ARGUING ABOUT 2016.
LET'S GET TOGETHER, TAKE ON TRUMP'S DESIRE TO DIVIDE US UP,
LET'S GO FORWARD WITH THE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA.
ASK HER IF SHE'LL DO THAT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: OKAY.
WE'VE GOT TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK RIGHT HERE.
WHEN WE COME BACK, I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE SENATOR SANDERS SAY
SOMETHING NICE ABOUT DONALD TRUMP.
STICK AROUND.
