If 2 men can disagree on an issue and still move forward in a barbershop, what the fuck is stopping Congress?

Political/corporate corruption and money. The government serves "their" best interest not the people's. Bernie is this country's last hope.

[@stval]

Killer Mike should get the pulitzer.

[@scotttami9410]

totally agree.

[@sooperalex15]

America, VOTE. FOR. THIS. MAN.

[@christianrayfield4365]

[@mefilmmaking]

+Xander Which one? LOL.

[@justsain3236]

+Filmmaker J ........the one that is running for president

[@TheGoldenShamrocks]

+Filmmaker J Both of them Killer Mike for VP

[@TheDaexiled1]

this had to have been probably the best interview of the year. I hope that Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, The Young Turks, and secular talk watch this interview as well. I swear I wouldn't be surprised if Mike would want to run for governor of Georgia and win it too.

[@JonathanStogner]

What you just said, was perfect. If I was a citizen of Georgia, I'd vote for Mike. These interviews are more important and more cathartic and actively progressive than the national debates or televised media. This is what matters to me. This is relevant to me.

[@TheDaexiled1]

And Bernie was absolutely right, more Democrats exploded and voted in the state of Louisiana where I live and we got our self a Democratic governor. I may be a truck driver, but when I'm home I advocated to get out the message for people to get out and vote in New Orleans

[@Eddierayilerjr]

I wrote his name in as a representative of Georgia when he jumped in. if he legit ran I would vote for him.

[@tonywardd]

+TruckerExile E You already know Kyle is gonna see these videos. He's on top of it.

[@Dreamprism]

+TruckerExile E I was watching Maddow earlier today and her show is what brought me to these videos, so the hopes in your comment were at least partly fulfilled. :)

[@keelahsentry2063]

Me too. 62-year-old white man. Dreamers awake!

[@ChiefFalque]

+andr00123 It certainly wasn't a dream back then, but hell, what an experience. Because technology wasn't at you on all sides, giving you a ton of information, you would react more to stuff happening. And boy, did stuff happen! And the music was great.

[@ridingravity]

Someone get that man some water, he is carrying the entire country on his back.

[@1805movie]

This interview has been so refreshing to watch and listen. It just feels so real and honest. I'm glad that Bernie can let loose and be open to disagreements if present. Thank you for doing this. You're a huge asset in spreading the message across.

[@Deantrey]

+Ryan Hartwell From my knowledge of him he's always like that. He believes in that, being open to disagreements. He spoke at a very conservative Christian church and he said you know we disagree on abortion. We disagree on gay rights. But that shouldn't hold us back from working together to solve the problems this country faces. He has values that he won't budge on for anyone, those are what he is running on and what he is fighting for, particularly putting political power and economic opportunity back into the hands of middle and working class Americans. That he is a man, with other views outside of those issues, doesn't take away from his central message, which is one that I think can hit close to home on both sides of the isle. That's part of his appeal. I think, if we can get over the right/left divide, get over all those little issues we may disagree on, we could realize that this guy is working for us, all of us both left and right, and then I think he will have a shot at winning. I say we elect him on those issues that we can both agree on.

[@axollot]

+Lokezombie It's a noble cause; it's one I've been working on via the local level. Of course I've also listened to Sanders for over a decade [in my defense lived overseas before turning 18 in the US moved to Australia so my point of view is similar to Sanders who is similar to how Australia treats it's citizens. Don't think they do not have a fight to *keep* it]. GET LOCAL. No matter who wins. Go to school board meetings - even if you do not have kids; these kids will be working and running the nation when were older. Get local work across party lines; I actually helped get my county a bus system. Deep Red county in Florida - not one liberal politico and they know I'm a 'screaming progressive' -- buses! We as a community came together smashed a bad back door corporate giveaway and used that money *instead* for buses. [we had 19 million to use in very restrict ways. It was stimulus money too]. It doesn't take much. And you meet some lovely folks you may not meet otherwise.

Thank you Killer Mike. We need more people like you that aren't afraid to speak the truth and elect fellow truth speakers. You're the kindling that is starting the fire of this political revolution. The revolution will not be televised, but it's coming.

[@SMudge9424]

Damn dude, seeing my favorite rapper interview my senator is so cool. Awesome that he's getting this exposure. These conversations were so informative and passionate, need more of this stuff.

[@ridingravity]

+SMudge9424 exactly, amazing. Dorset here.

[@lakeisharankin9905]

[@shydaddy92]

THANK YOU KILLER MIKE AND BERNIE SANDERS! This is exactly what the people of America need to see. #Bernie2016 #KillerMikeForVP

[@cnferguson5]

I agree with every one of Bernie's positions except gun control. And of course he gets my vote.

[@A6Legit]

Same. I feel like a lot of people are like us. Its alright though because we can support Bernie on everything else. Like he said he cant do it alone. Well he wont be doing anything drastic to gun laws without us

[@GetToDaChoppa-k5r]

+Charles Ferguson Gun Control is badly needed dude. There have been too many mass shootings already, and you Americans need to chill with your 2nd amendment. Remember an amendment is called an amendment for a reason. But It's cool that your on the Bernie boat regardless.

[@cnferguson5]

+no hassle bro. it. won't. work. people can get guns ANYWHERE

[@GetToDaChoppa-k5r]

Charles Ferguson That's why the laws need to be tighter on them. I live in Scotland, and we have had very few mass shootings. The biggest one was when a nutter in Dunblane shot up a bunch of school children. But that was many moons ago. We honestly think it is very strange to obsess over killing machines like guns, and scary.

[@cnferguson5]

Scotland already had a lower gun violence rate to begin with, same as Japan and Australia even before they enacted their gun laws. America has a destructive and immature gun culture, but laws won't prevent people from obtaining them. If the govt went on a mass campaign to take guns away there would be mass hysteria and violence

[@RedceLL1978]

So what is everyone waiting for... Get the fuck up and vote to save your country and your families.

[@NattyJedi]

At 22 years old and choosing not to vote in 2012, I've been following Bernie Sanders as of the past few months and not only liked but believed in his cause. After watching this discussion, I can say I'll be up early on election day

[@jpriedy]

Wow this was fantastic. This really needs to circulate. There's no denying the immense amount of truth in Bernie's words.

[@brain.in.a.body.]

Bernie's fist bump game is too strong! damn

[@NotDouahou]

I wonder if Bernie listened Killer Mike's Reagan track

[@Renbencannan]

I did. Unforgettable.

[@invicta1313]

Mike, you're a great dude, and I love every one of your interviews. Can't say I know your music, because it's not really my genre...you're a good guy, though. But as far as "guns are our last defense against tyranny," man, you're going to have to get real. You might have had a case for that even as recently as 50 years ago...though I'd say 90 more realistically. You might have had a case for that. But you gotta get real, man. You live in the heart of the greatest military machine the species has ever known. There isn't an inch of anywhere you step foot that that machine doesn't know about, can't watch or can't go. And no gun belonging to any civilian is going to save anyone from "tyranny." Not anymore, and certainly not here. Not when a military member could call up a flying robot and have the whole building you're hiding in leveled as quick and easy as ordering a pizza. How's a gun going to save you from that? How's a gun going to save you from assault vehicles designed to resist RPGs and landmines? For God's sake, man...if these people can take Fallujah 10,000 miles away, how much effort do you think it would require to drop a city block 50 miles from the nearest military base? I don't care if you're Alexander the Great with a Gatling gun...if these people want you dead, you're dead. I'm not saying I like it, I'm just saying it's the inevitable consequence of living in a country which has spent the last century perfecting and automating mass warfare. You might as well start a riot in a prison cell. So if that's really your basic argument against gun control, then it's utterly pointless. Guns aren't a "last defense" against tyranny...they're a last STAND. Plain and simple. And yes, this is coming from someone from the hood in the South who loves guns, too. I have several, and I've had some of the biggest there are. Including a Barrett 50, if you're into that kind of thing. But as much as I loved my Barrett, and AR, and AK and Dragunov...I never pretended for a second they gave me a fighting chance against the most powerful military machine in history. At best, they would have been good for taking out a few dozen neo-nazi douchebags when they finally decided to take over my home town. Which would have been _great_ fun. But that's the only form of "tyranny" even the biggest of my guns could have affected in any way. I knew that then, I know it now, and I'd happily give up any or all of my big boomtoys if doing so kept one more Sandy Hook from happening. In a heartbeat. So...yeah. Take it for what it's worth, man. And keep being awesome :) GO BERNIE!!!!

[@khyaoigirl396]

Exactly! Its fine for like defending your home from a murderer, but up against our government? No chance in hell. Makes me feel a bit better to have something than nothing, but in the end it will make no difference. I feel with Mike tho.

[@TuttiHeit]

+Jasmine Mueller A murderer that could easily have a gun too? Here in germany even some kinds of knives are restricted if you don´t own a small weapons permission(which are hard to get)! Realize it, your obsession with guns is one of the biggest menaces to your society, coming from within and as big a threat as politicians that try to divide people, as mentioned in the interview! ;-)

[@WillHanz1998]

+Richard Rowe Tyranny isnt always governmental. Some blacks in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s armed their communities with military grade weaponry to combat the terror of the Ku Klux Klan. Domestic terrorism from groups such as the Klan is a constant threat in the world we live in, especially with the success of people like Donald Trump

[@DylanCanzurlo]

+Richard Rowe The only reason I disagree with this is because you're looking at the military like an object; not capable of thought or emotion. Who's joining the military? A VERY large portion of the people who are fresh out of high-school and want someone to help pay for their college. These aren't some insane, warrior, military machine type soldiers. These are kids who want to support their country in return for much-needed money. Assuming by some chance enough of the government can agree to launch a military strike on its own people, it will never have the force to back it up. The second these kids get the command to murder their neighbors because the government told them to? It's over. No one is in anyway doubting that there's government corruption, right? It's apparent to both sides. Some people aren't okay with that, some are. Assuming that more than 5% of soldiers in the military will ever even listen to a command to go to sleep from the government again. And as much as it might sound hard to believe, I am nearly positive there will be support to U.S citizens from multiple foreign nations. You are absolutely correct that this is the strongest military in human history, but the guns and the tanks and whatever else is absolutely USELESS without people to want to use them. We have shown that even as the worlds strongest military, we are NOT invincible. Vietnam is a great example. Who were we defeated by? Russia's military? China's? Hell even a terrorist group like ISIS? No. We were defeated by poor citizens with little training. They essentially brought a knife to a gun fight, but still beat us. Take the 3rd largest country on the planet, a large percent of citizens in this nation are heavily armed, and add in the fact that there's no way we can legitimately assume that the military will take orders to turn guns on U.S citizens? It's essentially a sure victory for us. The only win to combat this would be nuclear weapons. That will NEVER happen. If by some miracle the whole military hasn't turned against the government at this point, this would be the last straw. At this point I'd imagine 10+ countries would be teamed up against our government. So you are correct that our current weapons aren't up to the same caliber, but it honestly wouldn't matter beyond it being a roadblock.

[@DylanCanzurlo]

+Richard Rowe Okay see then I'm confused because your original comment was saying how guns wouldn't help in this hypothetical military take over. I responded by saying that it wouldn't happen. And now your argument is what..? I (not explicitly, but pretty transparently implied) that this would never be a problem. In your reply to my message you essentially just agreed. I'm not seeing exactly what points of mine you're attacking because it's not at all what I said or meant.

[@chonus4497]

Killer Mike just won the election for Bernie. Thanks, Killer Mike. Much love, respect, and appreciation.

[@LeviRedrook]

This interview was fantastic, Mike. Please don't let up until Bernie is elected. There are too many people who think giving one speech or sending out one tweet is going to get Bernie all the exposure you can give him. Be LOUD until he wins the nomination. Bernie winning the nomination means Bernie winning the election.

[@AndreB23]

Dear America; *VOTE FOR THIS MAN.* Signed, Me.

[@happyfrancis]

Loved this conversation. Even the profanity because that's how adults talk.

[@sharontaint8349]

"I represent a group of people only 50 years into freedom." That makes me so sad. To think that the majority of people thought (think?) that people were any less deserving of the same rights as others, based on skin color. Just......gross.

[@thomasrainbow]

+Sharon Taint Yeah it really puts it in perspective doesn't it. I feel segregation and racism is still very real for blacks. It's proven in the judicial system and on the streets with cops. We need equal rights and opportunity for all people. If that doesn't exist then none of us are truly free or deserve to be.

[@BritchesBumble57]

+Sharon Taint I mean slavery ended in the mid 1800s, so he's AT LEAST 150 years into freedom...

[@A6Legit]

+BritchesBumble57 do you know anything about american history??????????

[@BritchesBumble57]

Yeah, slavery ended in 1865.

[@bobhayes3135]

+BritchesBumble57, yeah but the didn't get freedom for another 100 years. Segregation and racism still exist, particularly in the south. Watch the lst quarter of segment three, Bernie explains it all. While channeling Abby, I might add. Not that you would know to whom I an referring.

[@midu7800]

As a Canadian being able to sit back and watch this election unfold without having any bias, you guys in the States really do need Bernie Sanders. Dude is real, no bullshit with him. It's not some sideshow or some battle of who loves God more, like the Republican debates always end up becoming. He is just a guy he knows what the fuck is wrong and how to just fix shit. Killer Mike nailed this sit down. Just a super smart guy interviewing another super smart guy. Great job, Mike. Do the right thing, USA. Get out and vote.

[@danielh8569]

Killer Mike should be Person of the Year, the DNC should have you host a debate, the Gun Control question was great, you would never see a host ask a good question respectfully and listen.

[@BritchesBumble57]

+Daniel Hornbek Right? you'd NEVER see a real tv host ask about ANYTHING that would be negative, blew my mind he even did it.

[@zoundozer]

I think one of the things I like the most about this video series is that you can see that Bernie is a good listener, as well as a good speaker

[@axollot]

Part 6 of 6 is one of the most important segments! +KillerMike you've touched on so many important issues and why I support Sanders. Been following him for close to 15yrs now. He's never wavered on these positions. He has vision and most importantly his desire for a better nation 20-30-50 years from now compared to other candidates who seem to have a desire simply for a better library in their name. That's the difference. That's what FDR was all about too. He didn't care how the wealthy thought of him; he expected their hate and they still hate him 70yrs later! Sanders is to me a chance to have another FDR for our nation at a time when we *really* need one. He speaks to people from a wide variety of backgrounds and even crosses party lines. Living in Florida I witnessed the Democratic Party support our previous Republican Governor because he was a 'well known name' who wasn't a terrible governor as a *REPUBLICAN* - he was ousted by Scott though. State Dems active in the party here said to me "the woman was too old to win and Crist was better known" Guess what happened? Governor Voldemort Scott won another term because how the hell did they expect people to come out for a guy they worked hard to not win or worked hard to kick him out of their party? It was strategically a fail on a massive scale. Regardless of who ends up President at the end of the day we must teach our young people about getting active in their communities. That's why when Sanders said he can't do it alone? He needs all of us to work across party lines - like my district is red and to get a bus system here in my county I had to work with the far right. We need to teach our kids about their civic duty and impart that local politics *will* change your life dramatically faster for the better if we're involved. 2 of my kids are in their 20s. 4yr age difference both voted for the first time with me and voted for Obama.

[@marcscott7244]

Just nailed what all major networks can't seem to figure out: a substantive discussion about real issues. Thanks KM!

[@oldchicken2]

Great conversation Mike; real, honest, funny, this shit is the kind of stuff that should be on CNN on a daily basis. Thank you.

[@PyroSeeker]

This was such a great interview, I really hope Bernie Sanders becomes our next president.

[@matthewmoss1589]

God I hope he beats Hillary and I'm not even American. Really enjoyed this interview.

[@wolfstar675]

He definitely needs to win not Hillary.

[@bookman2116]

wasn;t planning on voting but will surely vote now. Bernie, you got 4 votes from my family. Wish you the best

[@freddyedney]

This is crazy! I opposed voting for many many years, due to all the promises, etc. I don't talk politics b/c I don't vote; and I follow politics secretely. This interview has given me another perspective, and I am definitely voting for Bernie Sanders. This guy.......... is for us!

[@esenakyapi1499]

+Freddy Edney IN THE PRIMARIES, right?

[@sarahmcquade544]

Such an amazing interview!!! Thank you so much for having such a thoughtful, informative, thorough, honest conversation with Senator Sanders.

[@SagaciousIdiot]

It is not only Killer Mike's responsibility in making sure Bernie wins, but ALL of our responsibilities. KM has already told two friends and so on and so on, but we MUST do the same. #FeelTheBern

[@blankface_]

Let's get this thing viral! #berniesanders

[@jackeyer8156]

as a canadian who takes democratic socialism for granted this series of conversations is so invigorating and refreshing. Great on Mike I hope America feels the Bern and trumps that idiot Trump. Amen brothers!

[@JenniferHowell77]

Epic! Thank you SOOOOOOOOO much for this! Very thoughtful and interesting. Could have listened for much longer. And, Killer Mike, you gave my all-time favorite Bernie introduction. You even beat out Cornel West's "love train" intro, which was pretty damn hard to beat.

[@ridingravity]

+Jennifer Howell Definitely looking forward to more barbershop talks with Bernie, and so many more areas of America that we can better engage with this way via Bernie.

[@artsentertainmentorsports673]

+brianin802 if yur a think tank spark the airwaves. Take me to the water.

[@wukusa4066]

This was awesome! This is the kind of in depth coverage our media fails to provide us! Thank you Killer Mike! Thank you Bernie! #FeeltheBern #Sanders2016

[@MCkizzel35]

Great interview killer... How can anyone be against what Bernie is for after watching this?

[@WasabiStorm]

I think once you're done rapping you could definitely have your own TV show. Great conversation.

[@thebombading41]

FUCK YES. THIS IS THE SINGLE GREATEST BERNIE INTERVIEW SO FAR IN HIS CAMPAIGN.

[@georgemichaelofficial]

Killer Mike thanks for this series of interviews, great environment & intelligent discussion refreshing to see. Bernie already had my vote, but really does push me to send it the way of friends and help make the change happen.

[@chidubeanene6842]

I'm making a vow to share these conversational videos all over my social media feeds from now till Bernie Sanders gets elected!! Maybe Facebook can serve as something better than a platform of cat GIFs and Kardashian gossip stories. My black bothers and sisters we need to organize and fuel this political revolution like MLK JR himself would have done if he was here today. Thank you Mike for providing us with the ammunition of substance and clarity with this amazing sit down.May you continue to bless and be blessed my brother!

[@JasonsAustraliana]

Dear Killer Mike, I am an Australian. I listened to your whole interview with Mr Sanders and I think it was one of the best interviews with Mr Sanders that I have heard so far. I would vote for him in a New York second. He is the only potential candidate that can be trusted IMO. I think it is very important, not just to Americans that Bernie becomes the next president but to the world. I personally think that Bernie will be such a good president that the whole world will benefit from him being the next president of the USA. Please do all you can to promote his policies and encourage people to vote for him. We suffer some of the same things that your community suffers here in Australia. The rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. I used to think why vote, when the candidates all look pretty much the same. Bernie is a very different type of politician. It is also easy to see that bernie is doing all this for the people, not for himself. It's easy to see that a vote for bernie is a vote for the good of the majority.

[@CynthiannaMatthews]

Excellent interview, Killer Mike! Bernie needs to go on a barbershop tour for certain. #FeeltheBern everyone.

[@NicolePoliskey]

To see a real conversation as meaningful as this is inspiring. This election was feeling so hopeless until I saw this. This gave me energy, hope and excitement. I really hope more people see this!

[@emilevankrieken6161]

This was so fucking cool. Thank you Mike!

[@brikets5315]

I've been watching this interview with great interest. I live in a country where everyone can get healthcare and almost no one owns a gun. Every citizen over 18 can vote, is automatically registered as a voter and every vote is worth the same. We have more than two political parties, and our prime minister used to be a teacher. I already knew about Bernie Sanders. Sometimes I think our media cover the USA more than the USA media do. I'm glad Mr Sanders is familiar with how things are in Europe. Too bad I can't vote for him. Also Mike, you've done a wonderful job. You should make this a regular thing, interview other people. Great setting too.

[@ShayeChild]

This was fantastic! It was so refreshing to see Bernie get off his stump and further elaborate, flesh out and have a natural flowing conversation with someone as engaged, intelligent and enthusiastic about interviewing him! This man WILL be our president! don't believe the hype!

[@howudoin135]

I just have to say this for the record.....Bernie Sanders is the MOST QUALIFIED candidate to lead the United States of America!......VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!......I too had no clue who Sanders was until recently, and it's crazy that he isn't talked about more because the man is a pure genius! I also had no clue who Killer Mike was either, but I find him very informed and highly intelligent! He definitely should consider getting into politics as well!

[@jameshuey8243]

We just got to get over the Hill(ary). Bernie 2016!!!

[@JetWarrior]

"I represent a group of people only 50 years into freedom." When Mike said it like that, it hit me hard. My mom is older than black equality...

[@RRMS0413]

Everyone needs to see this. I feel like this series opens everyone's eyes to what Sanders is really about and not what he's portrayed to be about

[@vanjavikalo]

carl sagan changed so many people

[@professorstan3259]

No matter what side of the fence people are on, this was a great interview. It was real, candid, honest, open, truthful, and inspiring. Matter of fact, I have this strong compulsion now to go get active in my community. Sadly, I haven't felt politically motivated since studying political science at undergraduate school, but maybe its time to get up and shout about something. Thanks so much to both of you, very much appreciated. Also, RTJ is the dopest group in hip-hop. Peace.

[@cc_chapman]

Thank you for the blunt honest conversation. The world needs more of this!!!

[@creativityguru8132]

This was beautiful. Thank you. What a creative way to create a dialogue that actually gets the truth out there about Bernie. It would be wonderful to see Bernie doing barbershop talks like this in every major town and city he goes to before his main events.

[@beheliteater]

Being 17 I still have a lot to learn about the world and life. I have interests in economics, politics, and basically everything wrong with our country. Most people my age aren't worried about what's going on with our presidency or the racial divide we're having in the U.S. The fact that Bernie Sanders has the guts and heart to touch on all these subjects the other candidates wouldn't even go near is so refreshing. If I were old enough to vote you can bet on your life I'd vote for Mr. Sanders. I'm so grateful we actually have someone who is willing to be a voice for the people rather than be a puppet. #feeltheburn

[@A6Legit]

Tell people you know to vote for him. Spread the word.

[@GenesisRockwell]

+Marc Anthony 17 huh? With that fighting will power and passion you are destined for great things in life.

[@saskamodiejones4540]

Wow, really fleshed out Bernie as a candidate for me. I hope these videos circulate in time to give him a boost in the primaries

[@paulrose6239]

Well done Mike!

[@Mymysticmama]

I pride myself on never having voted = from an extremely unique perspective. Truly - I've never wanted to vote for anyone. No one has ever impressed me enough - until the first time I ever heard Bernie speak. Something about him - inwardly resonates with me. No nonsense - it's very refreshing in a parched society! I'm definitely willing to take a chance on this man, despite not believing in government of any sort or source. I cannot believe that these videos don't have more likes, and that you don't have more subscribers!!!!!!!!!!! You're killin' it softly with your song!!! Keep up the "Great" work! xoxoxo

[@JrumBeats]

This whole series was so refreshing to watch. Shout out to Killer Mike & Bernie Sanders.

[@andreasrylander]

Seriously the best interview ever.

[@ALCIACOSTA]

This was a great intelligent interview...Even my 15 yr. old daughter was watching these videos with me and she agreed on a lot of the topics you were discussing. Thanks Killer Mike!

Bernie is such a #BOSS! He is the only political candidate to sit down with a regular person (and a rapper at that!) to discuss his policies so openly.

[@starseedwanderer7191]

I have hope, I am Canadian and this brought tears to my eyes.

[@jeanmacavery9578]

That was the most mature discussion about gun control I've ever seen.

[@JimmyMaiden93]

Thank you so much for this. I enjoyed these videos, and they also brought some light to the whole thing! Bernie Sanders for pres!

[@rone6005]

Excellent interview! We ALL need to vote for Bernie for President!

[@walthodgson5780]

Mike, Mike, Mike Mike Mike! Thank you so much for this series of videos. In it I see *two* men who I support. Love your insights, love how you show Bernie's real side, since it's so rarely portrayed in the media. I applaud you. And those fist bumps were hilarious. :)

[@hodjepodje1]

I just realized that Sanders is the only candidate who could do this interview. The whole mainstream political spectrum is full of plastic dolls. Thank you for making this and getting ~500K+ viewers the people need to know what this man has done and what he is wiling to do. "Do unto others...That's about it."

[@penniewitzQ]

This should be a more publicized interview. It was absolutely awesome, honest, substantive, and... I could go on. The myth that two such seemingly opposing cultures have no business joining forces just got proven wrong. From what I can see, the black community will be a big force of support for Bernie Sanders (hello, Nina Turner & Cornell West). AND this is on top of the overwhelming youth support, and the overwhelming citizen support (hello, 2 million individual donations?!). This was just beautiful, and I will share the shit out of this.

Please people, if you can, if you are registered, VOTE. Use the power you have. It matters so much. Don't let anyone lie to you and tell you it doesn't. VOTE. VOTE. VOTE. And help your friends get registered. Talk to your neighbors. Take your power and rise. VOTE.

[@scotttami9410]

I didn't want this to end! Best interview of 2015!

[@thingsleftunsaid9776]

Watched all 6 videos. Killer Mike did a great interview.

[@52156drj]

Great interview. Both of these men comported themselves well, speaking directly to the issues in a down to earth conversational tone. Don't underestimate what the endorsement of a guy like Killer Mike will mean to the Bernie Sanders campaign.

[@TBoneDM]

This interview was great. Cheers, Mr. Render and Senator Sanders. Peace from Australia.

[@ScottSemegran]

Agreed! Fantastic interview.

[@viktor4o]

Holy shit. This was one of the most interesting, real and in depth interviews I've seen in years, and I watch A LOT of interviews. They touched up on real issues that are important to us as a human race, the bro chemistry was there too and there was absolutely no bullshit in between. Goddamn I love the internet. What a great interviewer too. Great shit people.

[@tinajarvis4671]

I really hope that Bernie takes Mike up on his offer of touring barber shops...what a fabulous way to get him into the community! I loved these videos, Mike! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! #BerninInNH

[@JimmyJ-zf6it]

I'm gonna be honest, i know nothing about you Killer Mike. But after what i just watched I wanted to tell you something. You are a great man doing good work, thank you for this interview. If Bernie can point us in the right direction I hope that this grassroots movement will get more people into Congress where we need the change the most.

[@mikebaxter6771]

This was seriously so beautiful to watch. Killer Mike, you are a great reviewer as well as a great man. Much respect. And if this doesn't convince people that Bernie is who we NEED as a president, idk what will. He literally wants everyone to be happy.

[@briantiffany3513]

January 20, 2017 is my birthday. I couldn't ask for anything more than seeing Bernie Sanders nominate Killer Mike for the Supreme Court...

[@English3Muffin]

This was fucking amazing. I've been following Bernie ever since he made weekly appearances on Thom Hartman's Progressive Talk radio show. It was so refreshing to hear a politician speak with such sincerity and truth. I was ecstatic when I heard he was running, and feel equally excited after watching this brilliant interview. Holy fuck, man. Props to Killer Mike for such an outstanding interview, and props to Bernie for doing it. This gives me so much hope that we can do this. We can make Bernie our next President.

[@moonstomp5143]

Thank you Killer Mike for this candid interview. Props to you and I hope this opens the eyes of the oppressed and working class in America that we actually have a candidate that gives a shit about us. Cheers.

[@RonBurgundabs]

This made my day! #FEELTHEBERN #RUNTHEJEWELS

[@ronfleckman6810]

Without a doubt, the best post on the internet.

[@mcsmith732]

Excellent interview covering diverse issues. Thanks Killer Mike and Bernie Sanders. I plan to share this with as many people as possible.

[@marissatallant2868]

I loved this whole interview, great conversation and questions. The best part, all of the awkward fist bumps! Lol! Seriously though, learned a lot more on issues I hadn't yet heard Bernie talk about. Thank you for this Killer Mike! I wanna see the Barber Shop Tour actually take off. Please tell Bernie, he needs to make stops in Flint and Detroit, Michigan. Praying this country wakes up. I'm hoping and praying Bernie wins in 2016!

[@theduker3]

Awesome .....loved every minute of every part of this sequence... Mike, your a true man... Mad respect.... I've never voted once in my 40 yrs, but Mr. Sanders now has my vote ...

[@shawnnelson1595]

Thank you #KillerMike for bringing Bernie and his campaign to my attention. I swear I was stuck on Hilary Clinton by Default to other candidates, UNTIL TODAY. #Bernie4President.

[@SlashIsGod619]

It's not very often that I read the comments on a youtube video. It is even less often that I find myself feeling the need to comment on a youtube video. This entire series has been nothing shy of an inspiration to what this country, and world in turn, has to offer. Killer Mike said it right, Bernie Sanders is preaching the same things that biblical Jesus was preaching. I don't know exactly what it is I want to say, but both of these men have invoked a sense of urgency within me and I can only hope that more people watch this video and have the same fire light inside them.

[@torianoobashango-el-thecos8573]

Killer Mike is the Truth!!! I sat with him back in '07 and had lunch with him. He spent the whole day at this record store I used to work in. He is a very intelligent brother, Salute!

[@Ghostdog82k]

Killer Mike is the only man I have heard share my views on community, politics, and capitalism. We need you advising men running things if not just running yourself my man.

[@phendan]

I really loved this discussion. I can't really understand how so many people think of Bernie's ideas as "out there". Being an idealist does not automatically mean that you lose touch with reality. Here we have a politician who sees so many things that are wrong with a country and tries to find the best solution to fix them. As he says himself realizing that change will take coordinated efforts from the American people and it won't happen in a day. Isn't it better to have someone as president who understands the big issues and is enthusiastic about solving them than someone who does not want to risk stepping on people's toes to gain votes? I'm not American so maybe my opinion isn't even relevant but it seems to me that Bernie is not just a politician, he represents an opportunity to set the country on a better path.

[@JeremyJeziorski]

Fantastic interview. Hope everybody watches it. The best part is how genuine you both come across. I don't know how prepared any of the topics were - and it doesn't matter. Real talk, real compassion, real rational discourse. Sharing it everywhere I can.

[@NotDouahou]

This was really amazing interview and for the first time i have hope for America.

[@Gigastorm24]

I really loved this !!! so much honesty and truth !!! I just wish that all communities of people could just come together !!!! I totally agree with what was talked about !!! America needs Social Justice !!! Awesome Conversation !!!
