Bernie Sanders just said the quiet part out loud—and Andrew Schulz got it all on tape.

In one of his most brutally honest interviews ever, Sanders admitted Democrats ARE a threat to democracy.

He even pulled back the curtain on being robbed in 2016 and revealed his thoughts on a 2028 run.

Watch the clips. You’ve never seen Bernie speak quite like this.

📍 Before we get started, do yourself a favor and bookmark this post to record this moment.

Bernie Sanders dropped some hard truths here.

Bernie Sanders sat down with podcaster Andrew Schulz for a revealing 80-minute conversation—and by the halfway mark, he started unleashing truth bombs.

He said the Democratic establishment sold out decades ago, trading working-class voters for wealthy donors and out-of-touch consultants. According to Sanders, that’s when everything started to fall apart.

“The 70s, 60s, Democrats caught on that you could raise a lot of money from wealthy people,” Sanders explained.

“And it gets back to campaign financing and all that stuff. So you got a Democratic establishment now, which is funded by wealthy people. You have consultants who are really way out of touch with reality, who make a whole lot of money in campaigns. And working class is ignored,” Sanders said.

He added that Donald Trump succeeded where Democrats fell short because at least he pretended to care about the working class.
The conversation pivoted to Kamala Harris’s crushing defeat, where Bernie Sanders got visibly upset.

He recalled how Kamala’s “bloody consultants” told her to campaign on: “Hey, everything’s good. We’re going to keep doing the exact same thing.”

“That was what her bloody consultants told her to say. I begged them [to go with a different message]!” Sanders lamented.

Andrew Schulz challenged Sanders, saying, “Why can’t she [Kamala] push back?”—to which he conceded, “You’re right. There’s no argument.”
Then came a jaw-dropper. Sanders was cornered by co-host Akaash Singh, who got him to admit that, YES, Democrats ARE a threat to Democracy.

It happened when Schulz brought up how, over the past four election cycles, Democratic voters had little to no real say in who their nominee would be. He flat-out told Sanders that the DNC stole the 2016 primary from him.

Sanders didn’t deny it. “In the world that I live in, you got a choice,” he replied—implying it was either let the Democrats rig the process or risk handing the White House to Trump.

He even said his wife agrees that the nomination was stolen from him. Still, Sanders stood by the choice to support Hillary, calling both her and Trump “not a great choice”—but Hillary the lesser evil.

That’s when Schulz’s co-host Akaash Singh jumped in and asked:

“Could we not also say that if there hasn’t been a fair primary for the Democrats since 2008, are they not also a threat to democracy?”

Sanders conceded. “Fair enough,” he said. “I’m not going to argue with that point.”

Now, let’s get back to this conversation. Image
Sanders pulled back on the Democratic establishment, detailing how they despise “DIRTY” working-class people without a PhD.

He recalled how thousands of energized, working-class supporters would show up to rallies—only to be met with hostility at official party events.

Sanders painted the scene:

“There’d be a few hundred people, mostly older, whiter, wealthier. And you saw the clash. The establishment did not want to open the door. They hated the idea that all these people whose hands were a little bit dirty, who didn’t have PhDs or weren’t wealthy…”

“Imagine walking in—‘It’s my party, man. You ain’t getting in.’ Yes, we will fight you in the most ruthless ways that we can. And that’s the struggle.”

He warned that Democrats either open the door—or go down with the Titanic.
It didn’t stop there. Sanders went on to blame the Democratic establishment for destroying his 2016 run with a coordinated smear campaign.

When asked who labeled his grassroots supporters as racists and misogynists, Sanders didn’t hesitate: “It was the Democratic establishment.”

He admitted that the Democratic establishment worked hand-in-hand with the media to push this “myth” to destroy his campaign.

“They were sitting there, we had a lot of young people, we had people of color, and you know, they create this kind of myth, with the help of the corporate media and all that stuff,” Sanders explained.

Then it got worse. When Schulz pointed out that the same playbook was used against podcasters in 2024, Sanders agreed without skipping a beat: “Yeah, that’s what the liberal elite tries to do.”
The conversation ended with a surprise. Bernie Sanders officially ruled out a 2028 presidential run, saying, “I think I’ve run my last race.”

What came next was another shocker: he refused to endorse AOC.

When asked if his “Oligarchy Tour” with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was part of a passing of the baton, Sanders shut it down immediately.

“No. Don’t look at it like that,” adding, “It’s not a passing of the baton.”

While he praised her efforts, he made his position clear:

“I think Alexandria is great, but it’s NOT MY JOB to determine who the new leaders are.”

Everything you’ve been told about skin cancer and the sun is a lie.

Outdoor workers get 3–10 times MORE sun exposure yet have LOWER melanoma rates than those stuck inside.

It gets worse.

A 20-year Swedish study found that avoiding sunlight raised the risk of premature death by 60%, especially from heart disease and cancer.

They pushed sunscreen and fear while ignoring the simple truth that sun exposure mostly causes HARMLESS cancers, while sun avoidance is linked to the DEADLIEST ones.

Get ready to be re-educated about the sun. It’s time to unlearn the lies you’ve been sold.

🧵 THREADImage
Ever wonder why you were told to hide from the sun?

It was never about your health.

Sunlight regulates circadian rhythms, lifts your mood, drives blood flow, and lowers your risk of dying.

And yet dermatology declared war on it—turning life-giving light into a deadly threat while skin cancer diagnoses soared.Image

Most people aren’t drinking the kind of water their body actually needs.

If you’re using a common pitcher filter, it’s probably leaving behind the very toxins you most want to avoid.

Fluoride and aluminum slip right through.

For the cleanest, safest water, you want to use a reverse osmosis filter.

Many people report clearer thinking, better energy, and even improved digestion after making the switch.

But there’s one important thing you need to know about reverse osmosis to get the best results.

This water guide breaks it all down.

🧵 THREADImage
Medical researcher @MidwesternDoc just exposed what’s really in your water—and how it could be silently destroying your health.

If you thought choosing the right kind of water was easy, think again. We’re breaking down this article in simple terms.

The water industry is built on hype.

Yes, you read that right. The water industry.

Every few years, a new water gimmick goes viral: structured, energized, alkaline, “luxury” bottles… it never ends.

But most are simply marketing junk.

Thankfully, some tools actually do work—and one in particular stands above the rest.Image

A chilling investigation reveals ChatGPT users are spiraling into AI-induced psychosis—real stories of delusion, suicide attempts, and forced psychiatric holds they don’t want you to see.

As Silicon Valley elites rush to unleash this tech before they can define its dangers, they’re playing god with our minds.

Peter Thiel can’t even answer whether he wants humanity to survive in this technocratic takeover.

@zeee_media uncovers the darkest side of ChatGPT in this special report, confronting rising fears of the so-called 'Antichrist AI' many warn is already here.

🧵 THREADImage
An interesting article was published recently describing how people are being involuntarily committed or jailed after spiraling into what's being called “ChatGPT psychosis.”

Meanwhile, Peter Thiel just did an interview where he essentially struggled to answer whether he would prefer the human race to endure—or not. Maria has been very honest about her concerns surrounding AI and the surveillance state being built with it.

Today, we take a deep look at some of the creepier aspects of AI's impact on society—the things nobody is really talking about.

And believe me, you will be shocked by this information.
In a special report for Daily Pulse, Maria Zeee delivered a chilling account of what she calls “ChatGPT psychosis,” reading from Futurism’s investigation about people with no history of mental illness who came completely unraveled after obsessive, philosophical chats with the bot.

She shared the story of one man who proclaimed he’d “broken math and physics,” convinced he’d birthed a sentient AI and was destined to save the world. His behavior became so erratic that he lost his job, stopped sleeping, lost weight, and was eventually found by his wife with a rope around his neck.

“He was involuntarily committed,” she explained, describing the terror friends and family have felt witnessing such breakdowns. Maria warned viewers that this isn’t some distant theory but something happening happening to people right now, pointing to the raw panic in quotes like “I don't f***ing know what to do.”

“Numerous family members and friends recounted similarly painful experiences… relaying feelings of fear and helplessness.”

Yale Study Quietly Confirms COVID Vaccine Nightmare

They told you the shot would stay in your arm. That was a lie.

They said the spike protein would degrade quickly. That was a lie.

Yale researchers tracked vax-injured patients over time—and they were shocked to learn that some individuals were still producing spike protein 709 days after vaccination.

That’s almost two years!

But that wasn’t all they found. This study should alarm every vaccinated person.

🧵 THREADImage
This wasn’t a fringe study. It was led by Yale scientists, including immunologists who originally supported the vaccine rollout.

Their findings should be front-page news. But the media’s silent.

Thankfully, @MidwesternDoc breaks it all down here:
midwesterndoctor.com/p/yale-proved-…
@MidwesternDoc These Yale researchers believed mRNA shots would help fight COVID and even Long COVID.

They’ve since changed their stance.

Why? Because the data forced them to.

Finally… some actual science. Image

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 – Dem strategist James Carville predicts Trump will impose MARTIAL LAW to avoid a 2026 midterm blowout.

“I think he’s going to rig the election.”

“This Big Beautiful Bill is about 25 points underwater... He’s going to see a massive defeat coming, and he’s going to try to do anything he can to extricate himself in that defeat,” Carville said.

“And I would not put it at all past him to try to call MARTIAL LAW or declare that there’s some kind of national emergency in the country or anything like that because the hoof prints are coming. You can hear them, and they’re going to get a shellacking in November of 2026.”

What do you think of Carville’s take? Watch how Bill O’Reilly reacted.

#8 - Gay news anchor @alexharmstrong perfectly sums up Pride Month with a brutal reality check.

“It turns people off! … It doesn’t show anything good about the gay community.”

X account @againstgrmrs agrees. They write:

“Pride is unnecessary & does NOT benefit gay people. Millions watch in horror as grown adults parade their fetishes in front of kids for an entire month. We're sick of it. It does more harm than good & we're glad it’s over.”

Retired Green Beret @DocPeteChambers just announced he’s running for Texas Governor, vowing to issue arrest warrants for those who have committed crimes against humanity—starting with Anthony Fauci.

He says he witnessed vaccine injuries firsthand among his own soldiers and is determined to hold the architects of the COVID pandemic accountable, no matter how powerful they are.

“They will be afraid to come into Texas,” he warned.

🧵 THREADImage
Doc Pete Chambers is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, Special Forces Green Beret and physician who has dedicated his life to defending freedom and serving others from combat zones to the Texas border.

Doc has always shown up where leadership is needed most. Over the weekend, he stunned the country and the world when he announced that he's running for governor of Texas.

If elected governor, he promises to go after those who have committed crimes against humanity. His first target? Anthony Fauci.

Needless to say, people are very keen to hear from Doc Pete Chambers. He joins us to detail why Texas desperately needs a new governor, and why he is the only man for the job.
Chambers didn’t hold back, warning of an “invasion on the border” that he said was destabilizing Texas and threatening the entire nation.

He called Texas “the first domino” in a crisis spreading north, driven by cartels, gangs, and a public that had lost all trust in government.

“We have a demoralized if you will, or disenfranchised populace that doesn't believe in their government anymore,” he explained.

If elected governor, Chambers vowed to act on day one with an executive order—refusing to wait on Washington—to enforce “constitutionally driven” state policies designed to stop the chaos.

He insisted there was a “myriad of things” he could do immediately to secure Texas, framing his plan as a decisive stand against federal inaction.
