 Charles Pena of Fox Business News reacted to Bernie Sanders Q4 fundraising numbers and specifically he reacted to who is donating to Bernie Sanders the most and His reaction was hilarious. I think so he talked about this on his program on Fox Business But he also tweeted about this initially saying say what Bernie Sanders 34.5 million fourth quarter fundraising is impressive But worrisome top occupation teachers American teachers embracing socialism. So what are they teaching our children? I Love this tweet so much. I don't know math reading history. He's missing the mark here He doesn't understand why teachers are supporting Bernie Sanders because they are working Americans But I'm gonna play the clip and then we'll break it down as to why so many working Americans are Donating to Bernie Sanders in large numbers even if they don't have as much money as elites. Take a look Wow Bernie Sanders raising 34 and a half million dollars in a final quarter of the year The haul from nearly two million donors far exceeds the like of Pete Buttigieg But that's he had a great quarter himself very impressive. So where's Sanders money? Where's it coming from? Well, the most common employers were folks who worked in Amazon Starbucks Walmart Target the US Postal Service, but here's a little nugget that really got me worried the most common occupation Teachers, I mean teachers are backing the socialist candidate. I mean when you think about that you have to ask yourself What are they teaching our kids? I want to bring in Democratic strategist Kevin Shavos along with Trump 20 senior legal advisor Jenna Ellis Jenna, I you know when I saw that I'm like teachers. They're backing the socialists. What country is this? I'm confused Yeah, well, you know Charles I don't think anyone regardless of any profession should be backing socialism whatsoever And so I think that's a problem regardless of what profession we're talking about But I think what's most interesting about this and it probably speaks a lot more to the influence of the union bosses Overteachers more than anything else and so I don't think that when you look at you know the average teacher in America and What they are for and what they're promoting I think it speaks a lot more to the union influence and you know Bernie has gotten some of those endorsements But if you look at unions otherwise President Trump certainly has a lot more of the backing of other types of unions and I think that we're gonna see that for the individual Average American regardless of profession you see so much in those small campaign dollars that are going to president Well, let's talk about Trump in a moment. Jenna be and first of all folks. I do have breaking news It's official now. Biden's fourth-quarter numbers around he raised 22.7 million slightly better than he had in the third quarter Kevin But here's the thing you consider Bernie's numbers you consider Mayor Pete Almost 25 million you consider over over 12 million for Andrew Yang and I'm looking at these numbers And I'm sending myself this the Democrat establishment is losing their grip. It feels like grassroots your party They don't want to these manufactured, you know candidates that the establishment sort of rubber stamps There's obviously an appetite for change and look Bernie Sanders has been a fundraising dynamo even in 2016 he had this sort of reputation and Raised more money from small individual donors than anyone had before now. He's broken that record So it's more the same for him and it is very impressive, but I would say about Joe Biden I mean his numbers are pretty encouraging for him to come in as you sit head at 22 million almost 23 And he's starting to coalesce top Democratic fundraisers around his campaign Those who supported Biden and Hillary let's not forget that Hillary in 2016 Outraised the Trump campaign and the RNC right and I think we'll see Joe Biden begin to get that support So these numbers are good for him and I would say the biggest loser is Elizabeth Warren who? I agree, but let me ask you though You take take mayor Pete Bernie and Andrew Yang that you know over 50 million dollars If there's a message being sent to your party though, that's the question I'm saying is anyone paying attention to it or will they continue to borrow your work to coalesce around around Biden I'll take this one. They will never coalesce around Bernie Sanders They may one day be grudgingly acquiesce if he does become the nominee But not all of them and not without a huge fight So getting to the substance of that clip there wasn't much there But I found it interesting because they were trying to speculate about why Bernie Sanders Gets all of the support from working people and namely teachers. It's not that complicated It's really simple, but yet the Trump legal advisor, which I wouldn't want to be a legal advisor for Donald Trump at this point but nonetheless she Suggested that maybe you know teachers only support Bernie Sanders because unions and they're influencing him to Influencing them to support Bernie Sanders No, you're over analyzing this Occam's razor ladies and gentlemen It's a simple explanation the reason why Teachers support Bernie Sanders is not because they have some nefarious agenda to implement socialism in classrooms I mean, that's stupid if they wanted to do that. They could already Technically do that right but the reason why teachers love Bernie Sanders is because he is looking out for them Politics is about self-interest. We vote based on who we believe will improve our lives It's why most rich people are economically conservative and most working-class people broadly speaking support social democracy policies like Medicare for all Tuition-free public colleges and universities, right? We all at the end of the day We may care about everyone but we look out for ourselves teachers are supporting Bernie because he understands teachers are underpaid and Teachers are being taken advantage of and if we truly want to create a thriving economy Then we should probably pay the people who are training the next generation better, right? Now on top of that It's not just teachers the reason why Walmart workers and Starbucks employees support Bernie Sanders is very simple They're struggling Bernie is the only individual who understands the economic situation that they are in Because Bernie Sanders talks to people. He doesn't spend time taking selfies with people. He actually engages with people They share their concerns with him They share the issues that they're dealing with and then he responds accordingly with policy solutions Now you don't have to take my word for it. You can watch all of his town halls They're all broadcasted on his YouTube channel and people will come to him with issues that they can't afford insulin They lost their job. They're pregnant and they can't afford, you know, the medical bills This is what Bernie Sanders does. He listens to people That's why they know that he's going to represent them because nobody else does this in politics I mean think about Walmart workers. These individuals are worked so hard, but yet they're paid so little They have to go on food stamps. I mean look when I graduated college and I was going through grad school I had to work at Walmart temporarily because that was the only way that I can make ends meet and I had food stamps while I was working at Walmart and You know, you have this sense that you really are being exploited You can never take a moment to just breathe you finished a finish a project and you're talking with one of your co-workers Then you get yelled at by a manager because you know, how dare you stop for a moment? They just overwork you you just feel underappreciated and Bernie Sanders unlike all the other elitist politicians running Acknowledges the inherent worth in all of us as human beings We're not just cogs in the machine of capitalism or Walmart or Starbucks like we are each Individual human beings with the men's value and worth Therefore we should be accommodated for the work that we do and treated like human beings We should be given a living wage $15 an hour plus. We should be given health care. That's free at the point of service So we don't have to worry about dying if we can't afford co-pays We don't have insurance. We should be able to go to school and not worry about debt, right? I have anxiety when I think about all of the college debt that I've accumulated I don't know that I will ever be able to pay it off unless it's canceled like Bernie Sanders Then I'm gonna live it this forever a lot of us kind of feel this way It's really demoralizing and it produces a lot of anxiety. So I mean It's just so funny to me and it demonstrates how out of touch They are on Fox News that they have to speculate why teachers and Starbucks employees and Walmart workers would support Bernie Sanders It's obvious because he cares about them. How do you not see that? How do you not see why the only candidate in the race who has consistently had a record of Fighting to improve the lives of working Americans is popular I mean, it's obvious why his message resonates with the normal Americans Because he cares about them and not just in some Politician patronizing way. He's listened to their concerns and he wants to improve their lives He's just genuinely a good person. He's not perfect on policy I don't agree with him on absolutely everything. He's not a saint, but he's trying. He's listening and responding with policy Nobody else is doing that. Nobody else is consistently releasing policies like this You have Elizabeth Warren putting out policies, but none of them go as far as Bernie Sanders So it's not a surprise that teachers and working Americans are donating to Bernie Sanders in large numbers That's obvious. It's because they want someone who's finally going to represent them and Bernie Sanders Obviously is the only person who is going to do that. That's as simple as it is I mean, you don't have to over complicate it and try to you know Dissect what these people might be thinking look into the psychology of teachers. I mean, it's really simple they support him because he cares about them period and of story and Like to think that Charles Payne is probably making like six or seven figures to do political analysis where he can't even Understand why teachers would support Bernie Sanders embarrassing
