Nah. I'm definitely with Kyle on this one. He has every right to be pissed.

Love you both but honestly, if I were Krystal I would have refused to do the interview without Kyle there. Kyle is the reason many people even know about Bernie he was one of his most well-known supporters for years and has hundreds if not thousands of videos promoting him. Pretty gross of Bernie to throw him under the bus like that.

After that intro, it's clear why the Sanders team only wanted Krystal. Seriously, grow up, Kyle.

Bernie wanted this interview so he could cheerlead for Biden smh

God. Kyle is acting like an absolute manchild. And the confidence with which he says that none of the items that Bernie is fighting for in the budget reconciliation will happen if Biden doesn't burn bridges with every moderate Democrat and treats them like a mafia boss, is frankly absurd and naive. It's like he doesn't understand that these scorched earth tactics are much more likely to sink the bill instead. This why Bernie is treading so carefully and doing his best to get this thing done and deliver material benefits to working people. And this clown Kyle treats him like he's a sellout.

We are, we will, we must fight for... I am sick of it. I am turning this interview off. Our country, our govt. our system is broken and corrupt to the bone.

Here we are, not 2016, not 2010, but 2021 and we (the progressives) have gotten nothing but words and crumbs from our government. Bernie is now a more entrenched cog in a highly dysfunctional machine. He could have been a revolutionary leader. So sad. I don't know how you, Krystal and Kyle, are able to keep going.

Kyle is always true to himself, I don’t think this situation is any different. He said how he felt and what he thought about it and it was true to him. I also think it’s shitty to go on someone’s show and essentially kick them off of it and only interview with one person. Especially from someone who is such a big supporter. I don’t understand why when you call out politicians for not following through with what they say the advocate for, you don’t support them. You can still support them and keep them in check, which is what both Kyle and Krystal do. I’m glad Kyle spoke about it and said how he felt because I would expect nothing less. That’s why I listen to him. Because he is always honest and genuine. That’s the reason why I listen to him and Krystal, they are both honest and genuine and true to who they are and what they stand for.

Thank you for having Senator Sanders on. He has done a great deal in bringing Progressive Ideas to National attention.

It's likely that Bernie excluded Kyle because he injects f-bombs and other profanities into every sentence, which is unprofessional and disrespectful. And in his response, Kyle continues to use fowl language, is openly disrespectful of Sanders, and comes off as a sore loser.

Bernie reveals himself as a milk toast waffler who is incapable of standing firm to represent the people who donated money to his presidential run. He can be too easily pushed off any policy that truly helps the working class. FDR’s new deal was gradually undone over the years. Bernie’s attempts can be undone very quickly and the power elite know this and give him token responses knowing this. The working class needs to rally around the policies that Bernie identified: medicare for all, etc. By his fading into the woodwork, those needs will not be heeded. Biden never pushed for them and does not have the capacity, energy or time to direct meaningful progress for the American people.

Great interview, I'm sorry Kyle couldn't be in on it.

Fan of the show, but Kyle....dude...you've got to drop the ego man. Your rant was very childish and my guess would be that Krystal may be looking for an exit strategy. You can hold politicians/media/corps accountable while also being mature. Really bad look. Sorry Krystal

Kyle, how are you so entitled? "I supported him so he owes me".. It's going to be hard to keep listening to you knowing that this isn't a criticism of someone trying to make things better but rather someone who just wants things his way. If you wanted the good thing to happen you wouldn't have taken this sooo personally. Maybe he didn't want you because you're wildly inflammatory as soon as you disagree and then you proved him right.
