They let him on, he includes a shout-out to AOC and their Oligarchy-is-bad tour.

Bernie starts "paycheck to paycheck" and expands from that.
Bernie is important because he says truth to those who divert from truth to sophistry; i.e., to the media.
The whole thing is a major reach by CNN to "expand the debate." A praiseworthy step. Listen to it, or scan the transcript, but readers, please, give it due attention.
It is a breakthrough for a progressive, in particular for Bernie, to have an MSM chance.
Schiff's taking lead on the insider trader thing is discussed. But briefly by mention.
Pay attention because Bernie is older than Trump, but fully cogent, so the Biden "slipping" scenario is entirely inapplicable.
__________UPDATE_________
The session half way through listening to it, touches all current issues, incliding Trump leaning on law firms, universities, etc., and in opposition to rule of law.
It is a most lucid discussion of current events. Anderson Cooper as moderator/interviewer does a good job, low key, feeding Brnie chances to expound.
It is a breakthrough. CNN could have had Hakim Jeffries on, and done a same old, same old crapshow. But they did not do that. Instead --- They had an independent of the kind of independence Crabgrass embraces, while like Bernie, caucusing locally with the Democrats.
_________FURTHER UPDATE_________
Bernie faces the problem of economic fairness and says few others do.
And he is correct. Elon Musk puts $200+ millions behind Trump. I don't. I lack the resources to match Elon. He buys a fascist agenda he is in agreement with, and I have my vote.
That is the nub of things, which Harris did not say she'd fix, or even that she did not like it since it was a way of things under which she prospered. Harris lost.
Some of us know how it is, many are distracted and divided, but Bernie will not let us hide from the truth other than by not listening to him and not giving him a forum to explain things. CNN gave a forum, so who's next for not hiding from the truth?
_________FURTHER UPDATE__________
To say Harris lost is to say Clyburn, his way of approaching things, lost.
Big time loss.
Lost big time to a raving Fascist now using bullying to install a tariff dodge to de facto change taxation to where a sales tax hitting the little people will be installed instead of a justly graduated income and wealth tax, which is an option many find more appealing as well as more just. Something worth taking over the Democratic party to reach, in a way the Republican party was taken over by fascists appealing to bad things in people who lack discernment with an oversupply of bias too. Give people, not a subpopulation thing to yin and yang but people what they want, and curb those adept at confusing, manipulating and obfuscating - DC consultants and the politicians they manage - a lesser divisive voice.
Do that, and actual CHANGE and HOPE are not a cynical slogan, but actual reachable goals. Clyburn had to be sidetracked before the prize for us all was realistic. Harris, her millionaire mixed-ethnic family losing big time may have been the thing to do that.
If we can talk of Clyburn's sidetracking in the past tense, Bernie may be heard. If not past tense, the uphill will be longer and harder. Subpopulation power jealousies and struggles is tne heart of how the wealthy disenfranchise the many by divisive jealousies being exploitable and exploited.
An outlook beyond the Animal Farm's some more equal than others is needed. We are each as human as the next one, and not more or less humanly deserving.
