Video Description:

YERRR – the one and only Senator Bernie Sanders sat down with us to talk about the failures of the Democratic party, Elon & corporate interests upending modern democracy, and why the system’s still rigged against the working class person. From taking on billionaires to clashing with Congress, Bernie keeps it blunt: he breaks down socialized healthcare, fixing student debt, and why he is still bitter about the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn. All that and more on this week’s episode of FLAGRANT. INDULGE.
