Welcome friends, you're watching the Young Turks with Antikasparian and John Iderola.

And today's show is going to be bananas.

We will have the legendary Senator Bernie Sanders on the show today.

John and I will be interviewing him together.

John how excited are you?

I'm not totally cool. It's like the same as every day.

Yeah, yeah, not a big deal.

You just want to suit for any other reason.

No, I do all the time in the pandemic and I wear pants and shoes made out of leather.

Anyway, yeah, I was going to ask you right before we went live, how many times have you

interviewed or spoken with Bernie Sanders?

I'm fortunate.

I've talked to him on the show several times.

Shortly after the 2016 election, he was doing those town halls and I went to DC to kind of

MC for a few of them.

But he's just the thing that I love about Bernie Sanders outside of his policy proposals

and the fact that he's been fighting for working people his entire political career is how

he refuses to give up.

And I find a lot of inspiration from that.

So I feel fortunate to have communicated with him as often as I've had in the past.

But I'm really looking forward to the conversation that we're going to have with him today about

congressional lawmakers and their seeming inability, inability to pass coronavirus relief.
