Lex interviews Bernie Sanders, a US Senator from Vermont and two-time presidential candidate. The interview discusses Sanders' views on a variety of issues including his political philosophy, the influence of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the role of money in politics, healthcare in the United States, capitalism, the Democratic Party, and the future of the country. Sanders argues that the United States is moving towards an oligarchic form of society where a small number of billionaires have an outsized influence on politics and economics. He criticizes the current healthcare system and advocates for a single-payer system like Medicare for All. He also critiques the current state of capitalism and suggests that a more progressive approach, including a higher minimum wage and a more robust social safety net, is needed. Sanders believes that a progressive movement within the Democratic Party is the best path forward for the country.
