On Energy & Oil: We need to find a system better than fossil fuels

What we have right now is a system where the dollar is supported by fossil fuels. That is why there is such a push-back when it comes to switching over to clean energy, being green, and using renewable resources. Fossil fuels are what maintain and give the United States Dollar its value. We have to find a better system to invest in, because this may be the point where we can't rely on that. If we are late to the party, then there will be another nation that rises to that occasion.

On Foreign Policy: America is the greatest nation; we should lead

America is the greatest nation in the world. When you think about that, with the changes that need to happen in the world, as an American, you think we should be at the forefront of that. We should be leading the way. We should be the ones "riding off into the sunset" saving the world. Traditionally, that is what we have done. You go back to WWII. Had we not intervened with that, there would probably be a very different kind of a world today. We are ignoring our role as stewards and heroes.

On Health Care: Medicare-For-All would reduce healthcare costs

In a Medicare for All system, you get rid of the "for profit" mentality. Medicare for All eliminates a lot of the costs.

From a provider's standpoint, when you go to the doctor, you have to give them your insurance card, and then they have to figure out if that's valid, then they have to [determine] with the insurance company what treatment is going to be covered. Under Medicare for All, it would streamline doctor visits and hospital visits because you would all be working on the same system.
