THE SOAPBOX THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE IS BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT REAL ISSUES. WHAT REAL ISSUES ARE IS THE FACT THAT THE MIDDLE CLASS OF AMERICA IS DISAPPEARING, WE HAVE THE HIGHEST RATE OF CHILD POVERTY OF DEVELOPED NATIONS, AND IT IS GOING TO THE TOP 1%. A REAL ISSUE IS OUR CAMPAIGN-FINANCE, AND DON'T MISQUOTE ME ON THIS, IT IS A CORRUPT SYSTEM. MARK: WHO ARE THE CORRUPT PEOPLE? SEN. SANDERS: THE SUPREME COURT THAT GAVE US CITIZENS UNITED CREATED A SYSTEM IN WHICH BILLIONAIRES CAN BUY ELECTIONS. THE UNITED STATES CAN NO LONGER GO AROUND THE WORLD AND LECTURE COUNTRIES ON DEMOCRACY BECAUSE WHAT OUR COUNTRY IS BECOMING IS A SYSTEM WHERE BILLIONAIRES CAN SPEND LOTS OF MONEY -- MARK: YOU USE THE WORD CORRECTION. WHO IS CORRUPT? SEN. SANDERS: THE SYSTEM. THE KOCH BROTHERS ARE GOING TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON REPUBLICANS THAN DEMOCRATS. THE SUPREME COURT SAYS YOU CAN DO THAT.

WHAT IS ON THE PAPER? E-MAIL? HUGE CROWDS. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. YOU GET HERE THIS MORNING, A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE. IS THAT A LETDOWN? SEN. SANDERS: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? IOWA, WE HAD 600 PEOPLE. ANYONE KNOW THE POPULATION OFBOONE, IOWA? MARK: THEY HAVE NOT HEARD YOUR IMITATION. JOHN: DID YOU SEE HOW HOT BERNIE SANDERS WAS THERE? HE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE AT THIS FAIR TAKING HEAT. WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU THAT
