In this video Ed talks about not having to answer the 'who will you support if' question while we're in the middle of a primary fight. He also reports on American jobs being shipped overseas.

Ed Schultz discusses the closure of the Carrier plant in Indiana and the moving of American jobs to Monterey, Mexico where Carrier can pay workers $3 per hour and avoid American safety standards in the workplace.

Ed INTERVIEWS A FIRED WORKER who has children and a wife who is ill and cannot work.

The interview will break your heart.

Shame on Bill Clinton. Shame on Obama. Shame on all who favor and sign these trade agreements that have cost so many Americans their jobs and livelihoods.

Another reason to support and vote for Bernie Sanders. Please please listen to this.

Heartbreaking. $3 per hour plus $3 for healthcare in Mexico.

Can't live on that here.

What will Hillary do about this? NADA.

Never mind. Her $250,000 per speech divided by $6 per hour means a Mexican worker has to work 41,666 hours (1041 40-hour weeks or20 years) to earn what Hillary works for one speech. And that is not even the most she has taken for a speech. Nothing wrong with her making money for a speech -- but how are American working people to survive when companies take the jobs overseas and pay off our politicians in order to move those jobs.
