Elizabeth Warren on Fighting Back Against Wall St. Giants

[@michaelhasden9087]

Big Thanks to Bill Moyers for bringing and keeping these vital issues to the forefront. Keep doing what you're doing - educating Americans about what's really going on in this Country.

[@vernonjohnson8289]

I can't imagine a more comforting feeling than knowing that Elizabeth Warren was president. Sure would help me sleep better. I love that lady.

[@vinista256]

vernon johnson same here. Evidently, comfort is not “electable” 🙄.

[@lanewithrow-frisbee1491]

🤚❌😷👎💨😀😜😘💋💃✌

[@joeanderson9045]

Is it me, or is Bill Moyers the best in the business at interviewing people?

[@renbooks]

It's you

[@Antonio-ck2hp]

I don't understand how people dislike this video? some very interesting points are brought up.

[@teeeeeveeeee314]

I totally agree with you Antonio, there is a GOLD MINE of information here and to see things now as of June, 2016, it is absolutely amazing the reflection of this then to now and the shocking turmoil of the Democratic Party.

[@coopsnz1]

Because regulations and taxes = less value to consumers why more poverty today

[@SaboTaly]

Ben, I think you missed the better part of this interview. Increasing poverty is directly related to more and more of the tax burden being shouldered by working class individuals. The top 1% pay at about half the tax rate that you or I do. The tax code is so heavily slanted in their favor, that some avoid paying taxes all together. Add to that the huge falloff on corporate taxes. Amazon, Starbucks, Chevron and many others all paid no taxes in 2019. The statuatory corporate tax rate is 21% But, through tax writeoffs, subsidies, and other financial shuffling these companies end up paying very little or nothing at all. So your statement should read as "Because no regulation and taxes on the wealthy or on corporations = why more poverty today"

[@sacredbeastzenon]

I find her presence very soothing. Especially her eyes and voice.

[@lukemilton1964]

I really wish Elizabeth Warren would run in 2016!!!!

[@renbooks]

I really wish she would retire. She has really bilked the system out of millions and I think most people have had enough of her hypocritical bullshit.

[@elijahtrent4489]

What a brave woman. She has my backing.

[@twotwentyswift]

Yeah, a real Indian brave, right! Hahahaha!

[@blessed2breath]

Sanders-Warren 2016! that would be amazing

[@Hoolygan4ever]

+abram castillo Your wish may become true, waiting for Warren's endorsement and eventual VP nomination anytime now..

[@Unpluggedx89]

+abram castillo holy shit yes

[@JohnSmith-td6dn]

You have it backward Warren - and some up and coming young person.

[@alshurdom6917]

I am so impressed by this woman, you have no ideal. I think I want her to run more than I wanted Obama to run in 2008...I hope she runs.

[@chanceberg9569]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS. I just love this lady so much!!! She's so well spoken and tenacious.

[@doodelay]

Just came across this great channel

[@christopherpesqueira8169]

Amazing woman!

[@renbooks]

Who? Liawatha!!

[@frenchiegauvin5567]

I had the pleasure, to meet Senator Elizabeth Warren,in my State of Massachusetts.. I was Very impressed with what her goals were... I am hoping, that in 2016, Mr. Bernard Sanders, becomes President of these United States, and Senator Elizabeth Warren. becomes the Vice President... I am not going to get into, any specifics... You will all make your own choices... PLEASE, LISTEN, TO BOTH OF THEIR FEELINGS, ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING, TO, ALL OF US., AND THE CHANGES, THAT HAVE, TO BE MADE... THANK YOU

[@BarbaraAnnLevy]

Thanks for your abiding commitment to these issues. President Warren, 2016. Hoping.

[@juanseegar2546]

What port is that?

[@jmichealsmith99]

Elizabeth Warren should be president (I mean, President)...and we have...Trump. Sad.

[@brdpitt]

This woman needs to run for President!!!!!!!!!

[@roberta9734]

I know that Elizabeth Warren does not want to run for president, but...we need her. There's no one else who is fighting this fight as aggressively as she is, and we can't sacrifice another 4-8 years to corporate America. We need her now.

[@wkinne1]

How do we convince her to run in 2016? She is our only hope.

[@lenering1084]

Love Elizabeth Warren

[@TheToltec]

She's an enlightened human being sent to us from God...she is totally amazing and awesome...how come I can't find a girl like her?

[@timleonard5732]

Please let her run in 2016!

[@p.a.andrews7772]

He wasn't supposed to use the term working-class not middle class it only makes things worse ,trying to leave someone out who's having the biggest problems of course.

[@johnmuldoon7892]

Only Democrat I respect without reservation.Dont agree with her on policies but would like to see her run for President.Both parties must have their best candidates for 2016,a pivotal election in our nation's history.

[@paysonjethro]

it's time to not ask of anybody, especially people like this who are secure, how you can pay them to provide a future for you. You can do it without her! Taking your money!

[@sk00lb0y]

Great idea, lower interest rate on unsecured debt. What could possibly go wrong?

[@TheToltec]

She's really pretty...I am so happy there are women like her in the world or else I would just kill myself...

[@paulwarren796]

IF THERE IS A GOD , MAY HE SAVE MY NUMB HEADED NAIVITY FROM THOSE HARDENED BITTER WALL STREET ASSES POINTING AT ME FROM AMIDST A CROOKED SKY ............

[@Rickwmc]

Ask the congressmen and senators "on whose side are you on?" What a joke! We already know what side they're on - the side of the plutocrats and kleptocrats and class war. Asking politicians to make things better is like asking highwaymen to strive against pirates.

[@juanseegar2546]

What law is that?

[@DimitriSmith1290]

I love Elizabeth Warren, but I'm a little disappointed that she makes such a point of standing up for the democrats at the beginning of this interview. Voting for a raised minimum wage and campaign finance reform is one thing, but making it a key point in American politics and forcing the American people to address it is another.

[@vinista256]

Dimitri Smith “forcing them to address it” ... so, what are you advocating-that she engineer a coup and impose her policies by royal decree? Come on, man-this is a democracy. It’s up to US, the people, to do the forcing. We’re not going to accomplish anything by expecting any particular politician to be a superhero (which, in real-world terms, means expecting them to be a despot).

[@ctpierce181]

its amazing how some people with believe any BS as long as you sound like Mr. Rogers.

[@Ignod]

She's awesome. She's got knowledge, intelligence and fire for a reform of the American political and economic structure. She was actually angry up there on the stage at the abuses of the privileged folks in America. About time we had a senator who cares for the middle and lower classes. Go get them, Elizabeth!

[@paulwarren796]

IS IT AS IM0PORTANT TO 'LEAD THE WORLD' AS TO SIMPLY BE A FAIR COUNTRY WHO CAN TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES ?

[@naresuanstudio8319]

Elizabeth 2016!

[@kinglou480971]

If she is for raising the Minimum Wage, why on God's green Earth isn't she supporting BERNIE SANDERS.

[@nunya7502]

Not to take away from her valid points. but did anyone miss them setting up her 'reluctant' (and imminent) presidential bid?

Okay... Here's a more modern opinion after how she handled herself in the 2020 primaries, completely screwing Bernie and the progressive movement. - Hey Liz! You are a bold faced LIAR! And I will never listen to ANYTHING YOU SAY! -I hope your pants catch on fire today!

[@4malulz104]

Make a few laws making it completely illegal to take money, or to be affiliated with ANY lobbyists or financial institutions while in Government. Stop selling democracy to the highest bidder. Should be like jury duty but the restrictions should be life-time financial/affiliation restrictions. Stop the bribes against humanity, and our country.

[@paulwarren796]

YOU ARE SO WISE NOT TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT .

[@juanseegar2546]

Here we are back to the Land of opportunity......The Bank of opportunity.....

[@jkjqu6805]

Why doesn't she run for president though?!

[@vinista256]

JkJQU look at what she went through this year and you’ll understand why she hesitated ☹️.

[@ZOA360]

Elizabeth vs Hillary ~ #elizabethwarren2016

[@edavenport93]

Unfortunately she's not going to run for president, however Bernie Sanders might run.

[@genepoole8806]

Ethan Davenport Is Bernie still running as a socialist or has he finally come out as a communist?

[@edavenport93]

He is a democratic socialist, Here's the difference between Socialism and Communism. www.diffen.com/difference/Communism_vs_Socialism

Okay... Here's a more modern opinion after how she handled herself in the 2020 primaries, completely screwing Bernie and the progressive movement. - Hey Liz! You are a bold faced LIAR! And I will never listen to ANYTHING YOU SAY! -I hope your pants catch on fire today!

[@lsd938]

Moyers ruled her... she is toeing the party line... blaming everything on Republicans ... don't she knows what Pelocy does...

[@RustinChole]

holy cow. after hearing about her career, though i'm familiar with her humiliation of the fed prez video, I REALLY like this lady. there's no way she would turn on us like Obama did. she's for real for real. what a long shot it would be to get her to the white house. the business class HATES her. the best sign you can get that a politician's honest. though her faith in the democratic party is kinda sad. the things she talks about here were entirely absent during the last election which cost the democrats so dearly, every democrat was so busy trying to back away from Obama (don't love him much either) they didn't talk about these issues which everyone would agree are fair and rational. if Elizabeth warren was the voice of the democratic party, and they espoused the things she talks about here rank and file all across the country, people would vote for her overwhelmingly.

[@TheToltec]

My god Bill Moyers..you lucky devil..if she would have called me dear I would have been trying to get a kiss...

[@sojutime]

Grow up.

[@TheToltec]

she is enough to make you feel like a school boy..those lips and those eyes she has

[@vinista256]

It’s an Okie-to-Texan thing 😉.

[@paulwarren796]

BRAVE . YES. PWW

[@Chamelionroses]

The way that politics seem to work is screwed up laws verses helpful laws. As well wool pulled over eyes of public while congress is sitting ducks with bad advisors. Lobbyists are a mix. On another note...also can you please suggest advertising less about things like abc mouse and more pbs kids. Scientology gets funds from abc mouse in the long run. They seem to give advertisement even for paid tv shows. Some cults are well known to be abusive to many members and ex members... or at least allow it.

[@arcelioba]

It wouldn´t be better if those very poor and middle class kids start saving money so they will be more likely to be thrifty from an early stage of their lives so they will know the value of money instead of getting themselves in debt. I think maybe at school they should start some savings programs. I remember in my country they used to have those and not anymore. I think it could be a part of the solution.

[@33Christmas]

What a disappointment she has become.

[@SenorZorrozzz]

Heap big injun! I say, ultra white woman from Massachusetts (Ug!), speaks with fork tongue!

[@luistirado6305]

Blah bla bla. She's only interested in addressing the symptoms, but not the root of the problem.

[@misomercy]

Elizabeth "Steals Your Culture" Warren

[@apagoogoo]

i agree with everything she says, but she's frickin annoying. like a sally struthers infomercial. if this is the best representative that the middle class has, they're kinda screwed.

[@kaikincaid6179]

So the bases of your argument is that shes sounds annoying there for she is unfit to lead? Genius.

[@apagoogoo]

i'm saying lose the defensively earnest tone. if you sound like you're begging, you've lost ground unnecessarily. state these axioms plainly and assertively because they are truth. i'm not saying there can't be leadership without charisma; i'm canadian. our prime ministers are often soggy fish, like chretien and harper. but when my eight year old daughter whines, i ask her to repeat herself with a less whiny tone because it makes a sound argument seem vulnerable.

[@genepoole8806]

You agree that businesses didn't build the roads, hospitals, power stations etc.?

[@vinista256]

apagoogoo In other words, she’s conforming too much to what our culture expects of female behavior. Yet when she eviscerates the CEO of Wells Fargo in a hearing or kneecaps Michael Bloomberg in a debate, millions of people complain about how mean and bullying she is. I don’t think a woman has been born who can satisfy the contradictory expectations we have for a female in power.

Okay... Here's a more modern opinion after how she handled herself in the 2020 primaries, completely screwing Bernie and the progressive movement. - Hey Liz! You are a bold faced LIAR! And I will never listen to ANYTHING YOU SAY! -I hope your pants catch on fire today!

[@paulwarren796]

EVERY CANDIDATE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ERASE IMMEDIATELY , THE MOST ROTTEN COMMENTS THEY HAVE TO HEAR !!!!! PWW

[@brdpitt]

So sad after this the crappy elections last Tuesday. However Warren is now going to be in a leadership position in the Senate.

[@genepoole8806]

How could anyone be so totally misinformed on the US Infrastructure and who paid for it? Without the revenue from Businesses Government would NOT exist. Roads, power stations, dams that provide power to America, Coal and energy business that provide all our energy needs and thousands of essential products were all built via the revenue from businesses. Who built the first railroads? Private businesses. Who built the massive Dams that provide power to the Southwest? Businesses. The citizens did pay some of the taxes but guess who provided the salaries for citizens to pay taxes. Businesses. Business and their workers paid the taxes to build our schools. Businesses and their workers paid the taxes to build hospitals. There are over 119 Million private sector workers being paid by businesses. The Two Million GOVERNMENT workers , their Agencies, salaries, benefits are all being paid by PRIVATE BUSINESSES. My God! How could Warren be so totally uninformed, she is another total incompetent government official proving her ignorance.

[@satyricon451]

Wow that's confusing. Business and government, the private and the public sector are engaged in a dynamic relationship. Government collects taxes from the people (including businesses) and directs that money into the building of infrastructure, the dams and roads and so forth. Government contracts with businesses specializing in construction to build public works projects, many of which-like the TVA projects-were built to stimulate the economy following the financial collapse in 1929. Government created demand for and financed these projects. It'd be more correct to say that the people of the United States built the dams. Besides, government (in some form) has to exist for business to operate. That was demonstrated by the Ronald Coase in the 60s. For business transactions to occur, there needs to be some (credible and dependable) entity enforcing property rights. That's government. That's the judiciary in coordination with the other branches of government. There's nothing wrong with business until some sector, some monopoly or cartel gets too big and threatens to topple the international economy by its sheer weight. Warren's not concerned with small businesses. She's worried about the Wall Street behemoths that are playing fast and loose because they've set it up so the public has to bail them out. It's classic moral hazard that if left unchecked, will find us all at the brink again-more sooner than later.

[@paulwarren796]
