00:00To put it bluntly, I am back.

00:04I really love him. I love his policies. I love like everything that he's about.

00:10I worked on his campaign in 2016, fell in love, haven't fallen out of love.

00:15There's nobody else in the race who comes even close.

00:30There's a definite difference between Bernie and Elizabeth.

00:43Just take Medicare for All, Elizabeth is calling it a framework.

00:47Maybe to her it is a framework because she really doesn't have a plan for it.

00:52Bernie has over a hundred page bill that details what it covers, how he's going to

01:00pay for it, and the implementation.

01:02Elizabeth Warren is a little bit iffy about the issue.

01:06Bernie's been clear cut since the get-go, Medicare for All and nothing else.

01:10I actually have a disease called Cystic Fibrosis and even though I'm lucky enough to have good

01:14health insurance right now, I know that as soon as I'm 26 it's just going to be based

01:17on what kind of employers insurance I'm able to have.

01:21I think where a lot of the other candidates have maybe been a little wishy-washy, Bernie

01:26for decades has been supporting Medicare for All and he wrote the bill that would hopefully

01:31be implemented into Congress and into the society and the political system.

01:35Elizabeth, she says she's a true capitalist and I think in some of these policies, they

01:42should be handled by the government.

01:44You don't need for-profit prisons.

01:47You don't need for-profit healthcare.

01:50So there's all these little changes in Elizabeth's stories in the past.

01:56You really have to ask yourself, can I really trust her?

02:00I think what attracts me to Bernie is because he's promised he's not going to take any money

02:05from any PACs and he's been consistent on that.

02:08She's a great candidate, sure, but I think with her, I believe she did say that she would

02:13take money from PACs in the general, so that's a big deterring factor for me.

02:18I don't think Elizabeth Warren has any roots in any part of the working class, be it the

02:24old traditional working class or the new sectors.

02:28I don't think she's got any roots there at all.

02:30That's amazing, you know, how Bernie and the people behind him and the 2016 campaign pulled

02:39the party to the left.

02:41It just wasn't like that until just, you know, two, three years ago.

02:45To me, there is no close second to it.

02:47If you want that progressive person that is going to do qualitative changes, not slow,

02:56incremental and have to work at it, it's got to be Bernie.
