Killer Mike is highly underrated. He knows his shit and he's sharp as a scalpel, which comes across in both his music and his other work, such as this interview.

[@tdm-wo7om]

+1on1 hey man just speak the truth that can be backed up with data and economic/scientific evidence and any reasonable person worth their weight will respect u and likely agree with u. but if it is sanders socialist, evil. or he is crazy. or i dont like taxes at all, we need lower taxes, government regs are the problem, global warming is not real, or the bible says this or that... there is no evidence to back up those views especially the economic ones. that would annoy any person educated in science or economics. it is not right to call u a fascist, many people turn this into a fucking football game, but realize that trump is treading into dangerous territory with his demagogory. it is dangerous, not because of him, i personally think he is talking out his ass and believes nothing of what he is saying in hopes of making it to the big dance, but bc of the monster and violence he is implicitly condoning. it is real life, and the decisions our country makes have a dramatic impact in other nations across the planet for the well-being of others. this planet had limited resources and in many ways for the first time in history we are beginning to stretch the planet's capacity. we cannot be selfish pricks anymore as country, bc it is having drastic impacts elsewhere. please go and travel outside the us, the world is radically different outside of here. good debatecand dialogue are healthy. cheers.

[@mcsmith732]

+tdm123 I suggest that you watch the interview series, so that you can speak from knowledge rather than knee-jerk reaction.

[@AlphaConservative]

***** ...Freedom of speech is when you share views, but trolling is what you do when you insult with name calling, like if I say, "you're a moron" without sharing why you're a moron, now that's trolling. Morons don't know this fact.

[@justinpettit3432]

Killer Mike Thank you Killer Mike for doing this interview with Bernie. We really need Bernie to get as much exposure as he can get. He's a man who wants to do what's right for the people and we need him and people like him to get things where they need to be. His genuine care for the people and the important issues facing the people has gotten someone like me who never votes to want to go to the voting booth just to elect him. I appreciate and respect you having and posting this discussion with Bernie. The more people we get to endorse Bernie the better shot he has to win. Shout out to Funk Master Flex for posting on his site and Twitter. (that's where I first saw it)

[@xaby996]

+rissa206 Bernie literally cannot stop pandering to black voters after being completely humiliated by Black Lives Matter. What a pathetic candidate.

[@anthonystephens8633]

+Praxics Someone missed the part about Bernie marching with King and taking down segregation in his school with other like minded people in his youth. Its not pandering if you have a track recorded of giving a dam already.

[@xaby996]

Anthony Stephens You are right. He also has a track record of being defeated in the process. The "bernie revolution" is great and all, I just don't believe Bernie is the man for the job. We need a socially dominant person like Trump who can communicate on the expert level, always two steps ahead of the next guy.

[@brycemeertens5391]

I'm Canadian and I'm more excited for Bernie than any Canadian politics

[@DEMONTOR6]

+Bryce Meertens Trudeau is cool too.

[@thisishappening1732]

+DOMINATOR60 not really. he did vote for bill c-51. i doubt a guy like bernie would ever do that type of shit.

[@Beavs5501]

Socialism: so good people build rice sack boats to escape from it! Don't vote for Bernie, you sound like you were just introduced into politics. Clearly you must not have paid any attention to economics or history in highschool. If you did, you would not vote for him. *cough cough* Soviet Union.

[@ayewhaddupdoe]

+JBVR Gaming apparently you didn't pay attention. The style of government senator Sanders is proposing in nowhere near that to the "socialism" of the USSR. Google is your friend. use him.

[@MicheleLev]

Communism mixed with fascism is not socialism -- Democratic socialism is not like all the others. Clearly you must not have paid attention in high school.

[@josephearp7180]

This is fucking fantastic. Not just cause Sanders kills it, but because Mike does too. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed by the intelligence of two people.

[@robertdouglas2177]

+Joseph Earp Dorks are impressive!

[@MarkScott1]

+Joseph Earp You need to start watching Lawrence Krauss and Neil deGrasse Tyson then. Intelligence galore.

[@lotanowo]

+Joseph Earp You must have never read a book or attended higher education.

[@jayb2250]

+RickyMortus not with these outrages loans they are trying to hand out

[@lotanowo]

Jay B Blame the government. It's the government's good intention to secure and guarantee loans to students so that they can attend higher ed, and it makes schools raise their tuition bill BECAUSE of the guaranteed loans. If the government left education alone, the schools would have to compete to reduce prices and increase quality of education to attract students.

[@justinpettit3432]

Never voted in my life (I've been old enough to vote the last two presidential elections) but this election I am definitely voting if Bernie Sanders wins the Democratic nomination. And this series with Killer Mike gives me even more reason to like Bernie.

[@yzetta]

+Justin Pettit If it is not too late to do so in your state, please vote for Bernie in the primary! His biggest hurdle is going to be Hillary's machine. If he doesn't win the primaries, you won't have any chance to vote for him in the General. go to voteforbernie.org/ to find out your state's rules. Some people feel gross about registering as a Democrat for closed primaries- I understand. I was unaffiliated because the D party disgusted me, but I changed back to D so I can vote for Bernie in my state's primary and will change back to unaffiliated for the general. It's just a strategic decision.

[@justinpettit3432]

Alright thanks

[@CallejotheThird]

In order to be able to cast that vote, he has to get through the primaries. Go out and vote for him in the primaries. Don't be lazy, he needs us and we need him.

[@TheBandgeek157]

+Justin Pettit Vote for him in the primaries so you can make sure you get to cast that vote!

[@justinpettit3432]

A woman on her knees, a woman tied up, a woman abused.A woman enjoys intercourse with her man - as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously.The man and woman get dressed up on Sunday - and go to Church, or maybe to their 'revolutionary' political meeting.Have you ever looked at the Stag, Man, Hero, Tough magazines on the shelf of your local bookstore?

[@stval]

royhatts1 ...you're spreading something.

[@BadMannerKorea]

+Saint Val Sorry, I don't vote. George Carlin said it right--- "I don't vote. Two reasons. First of all it's meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. The shit they shovel around every 4 years *pfff* doesn't mean a fucking thing. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around - they say, "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain", but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.”

[@michaelj.podlovics2246]

I'm a Canadian and I still got chills from these interviews.

[@ChrisLerouxDesign]

Mike, thank you for this. I'll admit it: I'm Canadian, so at the end of the day the decision doesn't directly affect me. However, it's impossible to listen to Bernie Sanders and not be moved and excited. Why? Because corporate greed, poverty, and civil rights issues don't just exist in the US. I pray that Bernie's message keeps travelling. Right now, because the media's biased in getting Hillary into office, they're creating a narrative that's manipulating people into thinking he doesn't have a chance, which is bullshit and unfair. The key moment for me in this interview is when you were talking about medicare and you said something along the lines of "it's only when you leave the US that you see how great it is, but also how great it could be." I'm sure Hillary is a kind woman, but you can see that what she preaches isn't in her heart, but what the polls tell her. Meanwhile there's a fire in Bernie's belly. When he talks, he's oozing passion. People need to rally and do what the media is trying to stop - conversation. Please get this man into office.

[@tdm-wo7om]

Killer Mike is the shit man. this interview was spot on with bernie. anyone who spits game with zack de la roca and andre is someone whose politics need to be heard.

[@vipersnake94]

+Tarif Anzum Guy with a name like KILLER Mike being VP?! This is why our country is falling apart. We have people who don't have a clue about how to run a country and now Kayne West wants to run for Pres? He doesn't know the first thing about running anything.

[@yzetta]

+vipersnake94 He has a real name, Michael Render, and he's a damn sight smarter than Sarah Palin. We right now have a "reality show" real estate crook, racist, blowhard running for President who shows daily he doesn't know shit and would have been a failure at life if he hadn't had a rich daddy and he's running for the right to access the nuclear codes - and you say there's a problem with wanting an intelligent, compassionate man to be VP because of his showbiz name? Give me a God damned break.

[@DEMONTOR6]

+vipersnake94 Killer Mike knows more than just a few things about "running anything". He's been a community activist in Atlanta since he was a teen, which allowed him to segue into national movements. He's a successful businessman, manager, etc. He has been extremely active in political/social commentary for decades, and he';s a family man. He currently runs a nationally acclaimed community empowerment program that is set to launch at 150 locations across the US. VP? Probably not. But the credentials I just listed make him more than qualified for many local level elections, which is how many of the greatest leaders of all times have started out. Michael Render =/= Kanye West. I know they are both black, but that doesn't mean they are the same person :^)

[@ryaneldredpa]

+yzetta Of he hadn't a "rich daddie"? He could have chosen to "blow hard", all that money like a vast majority of college students do these days and end up with nothing. I do see that his business and company is doing absolutely wonderful with his good choice in being smart with that money that was given to him. There's no argument to be had here with your last comment.

[@invicta1313]

+Tarif Anzum Shit...Bernie anders would be the safest president in history.

As a middle class white man from a high income white country (UK) I believe Mike and Bernie are preaching to everyone who works hard and does not see the benefits of working in our wages. Regardless if you are sweeping the streets or the President, all men should earn a wage to support their families. Bernie Sanders is a humanist - he believes that ALL humans are equal!

[@lucky81970]

This is Bernie's best interview....

[@blankface_]

Let's get this thing viral! #berniesanders

[@ELKNOW]

Amazing interview Mike! these will be your highest viewed videos on your channel while the elections last. wow this interview really shows Bernie as a human being! cheers!

[@oneloveonebeing]

awesome this is happening

[@xaby996]

Bernie has been over encumbering his presence with random black people ever since he was humiliated by BLM

[@palebluebeige]

+Praxics Pretty sure Killer Mike orchestrated this, but nice try.

[@jackctiv1]

+Praxics Bernie marched in 1962 with Dr M L King in DC when he gave his, "I have a Dream" speech During that same year Hillary was campaigning for Goldwater who wanted to abolish desegregation. Your bias against Bernie couldn't be more poorly informed.

[@jackctiv1]

+Praxics Bernie Sanders also endorsed Jesse Jackson for President .. TWICE He might be an old white dude but he is more progressive than many 20 year olds today and it's not a new song and dance. He's been saying the same thing for 40+ years.

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

+oneloveonebeing It will only be happening if you vote for him in the primaries and the general elections. Please don't sit and watch Hillary or Trump win but vote for Bernie so we can finally have an America in which everyone is truly free.

[@rubeetrue]

This is incredibly underrated.

[@tawnkuimi-uru7212]

+Rubee Fegan I agree with you in so many ways. The meeting of minds of such different cultural disparities is, in my mind, unprecedented. I mean, to put it crudely, a black street rapper and a geezer Jewish politician being able to have a legitimate, constructive conversation is nothing short of miraculous. I praise the both of them. It actually makes my eyes tear-up...(probably just allergies...yeah...that's it)

[@GregPoblete]

I'm so hyped for this.

[@IanSizzler]

Bernie should wear a goddamn American flag suit! Thank you KIller Mike for this video series. Although I supported Obama in 2008, I did not ultimately go out and vote as I am part of a democratic district, and figured my vote would have little effect. I decided months ago that I too want Bernie Sanders as my President, and after watching this video and experiencing the passion you have to change this nation, I am recommitting myself to see this happen and do more this time around. This was a very rare honest and open discussion that had real meaning and little bullshit. I can't tell you how much love and respect I have for you both. Thank you again, keep up the good work.

+Nathan Achterman Article I of the Constitution says "promote the general welfare" and that's what Bernie wants to do.

[@Sharonformation]

+Nathan Achterman you are clueless

[@Cattywampusable123]

So eloquent!! I feel like people don't think rappers can be articulate or aware of political issues but in reality rap groups like NWA were in fact products of political issues and needed to be aware of their livelihoods. This was so fantastic!!

[@PrincipledUncertainty]

Great interview. Too many good things too say....

[@NickStaples93]

Thank you for this Mike

[@ActuallySanFrancisco]

thank you so much for doing/sharing this interview. will be making it a pinned tweet on my twitter account later today.

[@mcgreydee]

Fantastic interview! Wish we had the kinda pull to sit down with him and let him share his ideas directly into the college media scene. #feelthebern

[@vernduba9883]

Brilliant. Thank you!

[@ItinerantIntrovert]

Beautiful!

[@KathrynMorse]

Thank you, Killer Mike, for this video!

[@grappaduraone]

Two of my favourite people.

[@podimala]

I think Killer Mike is simply brilliant....He should be traveling the world teaching people, such a great guy!

[@JoyGirl34]

Mike, I don't know you and I've never heard your rap, but I LOVE you for hosting this conversation. I'm an Iowan who now knows who she'll caucus for, for so many reasons. Thank you, thank you. I watched all six videos and shared the first one on Facebook. This really needs to go viral. You're great, Bernie's great. Let's do this!

[@monadbornslippy]

This is awesome!

[@CynicLgrrl]

Best interview ever. Love this combo ;) ..as for the 'bump', Bernie still does the ' right-on' / power-to-the-ppl raised fist. Sometimes I think he's segueing from one to the other with Mike. :) Regardless, the MESSAGE and UNITY they represent is Infinitely more important. #FeelTheBern #Bernie2016

[@maxeome]

i'm not even american and i want him to win !
