★ About Bernie:
Bernie Sanders is a Democratic candidate for President of the United States. He is serving his second term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2012 with 71 percent of the vote. Sanders previously served as mayor of Vermont’s largest city for eight years before defeating an incumbent Republican to be the sole congressperson for the state in the U.S. House of Representatives. He lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife Jane and has four children and seven grandchildren.
Bernard “Bernie” Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York, to immigrant parents and grew up in a small, rent-controlled apartment. His father came to the United States from Poland at the age of 17 without much money or a formal education. While attending the University of Chicago, a 20-year-old Sanders led students in a multi-week sit-in to oppose segregation in off-campus housing owned by the university as a Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) officer. In August of 1963, Sanders took an overnight bus as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech firsthand at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
After graduation, Bernie moved to Vermont where he worked as a carpenter and documentary filmmaker. In 1981, he was elected as mayor of Burlington as an Independent by a mere 10 votes, shocking the city’s political establishment by defeating a six-term, local machine mayor. In 1983, Bernie was re-elected by a 21 point margin with a record amount of voter turnout. Under his administration, the city made major strides in affordable housing, progressive taxation, environmental protection, child care, women’s rights, youth programs and the arts. In 1990, Sanders was elected to the House of Representatives as the first Independent in 40 years and joined the Democratic caucus. He was re-elected for eight terms, during which he voted against the deregulation of Wall Street, the Patriot Act, and the invasion of Iraq.
In 2006, Sanders defeated the richest man in Vermont to win a seat in the U.S. Senate as an Independent. Known as a “practical and successful legislator,” Sanders served as chairman of the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs where he authored and passed the most significant veteran health care reform bill in recent history. While in the Senate, Sanders has fought tirelessly for working class Americans against the influence of big money in politics. In 2010, he gave an eight-and-a-half hour filibuster-like speech on the Senate floor in opposition to extending Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthy. In 2015, the Democratic leadership tapped Bernie to serve as the caucus’ ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee.
Known for his consistency on the issues, Senator Sanders has supported the working class, women, communities of color, and the LGBT community throughout his career. He is an advocate for the environment, unions, and immigrants. He voted against Keystone XL, opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, wants to expand the Voting Rights Act, and pass the Equal Rights Amendment.

Got tears from this. This is what we need to honor the legacy of MLK and all people who strive for justice, equality and fairness.
Yes, no matter their gender, race, or even if they're not Hillary
No kidding.. I'm over here crying like a little baby..
So amazing.
Bernie Sanders seems like he actually cares about the black community and what is affecting us, versus Clinton who just panders for votes.
+sarah ships i completely agree
Democrats pander for votes period.
Mike Rodgers how long did it take you to come up with that? Politicians pandering for votes isn't new.All of them pretty much do, Bernie has been an Independent until now fyi. If you look at how Bernie Sanders has been for decades, and how he conducts himself to different organizations he speaks to, he only even talks about the issues that matter to him, and never insults other politicians. Whether he talks to religious organizations, or black organizations he's always the same person and sticks with the same values. Mind you, he's also the only one that isn't bought.
***** Bernie is another wealthy fucking politician. He talks the talk for votes. He is trash like most of them.
He panders to Blacks for votes and will only give lip service when needed like true worthless damn socialists. He will use anything as a crisis to demonize Republicans like a true hypocritical politician.
Bernie will lose big if he runs against any Republican candidate.
+Mike Rodgers wealthy?
Bernie's entire net worth (savings, house, everything) at 70 is only $700k
and he flies coach!
Hillary's net worth by comparison is 35 million. Bernie seems to walk the walk about not taking corporate money
Still come back and watch this in 2019. Get this man elected!
#BernieSanders2020
This was incredibly powerful.
These are four of the best people on earth. ❤️
Absolutely! I get chocked up hearing them speak and realizing the national treasures they are. This movement cannot be stopped!
Thank you, Bernie.
Bernie, You have made me feel proud to be an American. Thank You.
Bernie 2020!
67 year old white, female... love you guys. I’ve been waiting for Bernie to run for president for over 35 years. Glad I’m still alive to see it. I still work full time as an RN for insurance, my husband is 62. Good luck, I’m with you all the way!
SHARE SHARE SHARE.
People need to see this!
Bernie the legend
Americans are really lucky to have Bernie Sanders fighting his whole life for a better America. Really hope you all will really treasure it -- from Singapore/Canada.
This was an EXCELLENT conversation!
#Bernie2016 #MLKday2016 #MLKday #FeelTheBern
Trump 2016
+Harry Ball's
+quest 8899 Correct. That is obvious to everybody except the cult of crazy that follows him.
Actually Democrats play on fears using racism. Especially with Black racists. Thank God a few Blacks hate Black hypocrisy and racism just like MLK.
Bernie is trash like Clinton. Republicans will win the next presidential election.
Go Trump!
blacks back to Africa, Mexicans back to Mexico, Chinese back to China and so on......Trump is the only MAN we can count on to get the job done,,,,,, Trump 2016 Make America Great Again.
Bernie 2016-2024 #feelthebern
Killer Mike is on POINT.
Bernie 2020
Wow! This discussion gives me hope.
It's videos like this that could really do with being re-released in 2019
UA-cam algorithm is on it 👍🏾😁
We NEED them to do another 2019 updates.
Yes.
Like and comment to reference it in the algorithm ;)
@@Pandemonis yes!
Bernie has the energy of a teen! Good man. Feel the Bern!
I could have listened to more of this. This was so intrigueing! Powerful conversation by a group of educated individuals.

Thank you!!
+mcaporelli3 Most welcome.
Criminally underwatched.
Incredible conversation. I really hope Killer Mike continues to get that great voice out. His message is so important and clear.
So impressed with everyone sitting there. Bernie 2020 please and thank you
As a Black man, I tell you even if you were a KKK grand wizard (which you obviously aren't), I would still have more in common with you than I have different. If we stand together our struggle is the same. If you're my brother in struggle, you're my brother, period.
All my favorite people 🥺🥺
Killer Mike, you have MLK's eloquence and delivery. You need to be in Congress.
I am in Utah, but I would donate in a heartbeat if Mike ran for office.
This was such a POWERFUL panel I love this !!! We desperately need Bernie as our president !!! I hope we don’t let him down again 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Great conversation with real people speaking real truth.
"The Santa Clausification of Martin Luther King Jr." This one line encapsulates so much about MLK's legacy
Smart people like these four should be leading this country.
Let's make it happen.
#Bernie2020
#NotMeUs
Boy I can't wait for a Nina VS Pence debate ;)
That would be amazing, Pence would not know how to handle a strong beautiful black woman. Plus the msm will fear being called racist if don't cover her fairly as a VP so they might actually cover some of Bernie's campaign.
Sanders, respect. Count on me, from the Latino community.
Doctor West is always the coolest guy in the room.
Bernie you give me hope!
First and foremost, I think Bernie was and is a fan of Dr. Martin Luther King
Bern on baby!!! Bern on!
Bernie!! you are a hope not only for united states, but an example for all the word!!! hope you the best for your wining elections!!! excellent video about legacy of king!! such a soul! hope you can stop the wars for materialistic reason and do a lot for education and for climate, thats a real change, liberate free and clean energy to stop depending in oil, steps in that direction !!! felling the bern from argentina!!! im texas born living in argentina going to the embassy to vote for sanders!!!
This should be on the news...
A scholar
An artist
And a politician
What an awesome mixing of perspectives
This is an excellent round-table, glad I got to see this.
Wow beautiful, should run this as a political ad, right now.
Sanders for PRES 2016
this vid tugs on my heart strings.....luv u mlk!!
These four spoke to my heart as much as to my sense of reason. It’s 2019, and this time, I think we are going to make it.#Bernie2020
When Killer Mike speaks, his words rendered through poetic rappy expression hits like a truth truck.
He's incredible. One of the most important voices of our time.
Santiclausification of MLK, that is a really great point. He terrified the country and was powerful and frightening, but Dr. Cornel West has got this right on.
One of the most important efforts of Bernie Sanders, in my heart & mind, is his fight to uplift The People & give power back to The People, as was intended by our founding. When that happens, all things are possible.💙
🇺🇸#BERNIE2020🇺🇸 #NOTMEUS💙 #OURREVOLUTION💙
Nina you are the best Senator!!!!!!
America, you got your second chance: Bernie 2020 ❤
Yeah, don't take no DNC $#!* this time. There should be no taking no for an answer!
Excellent and inspiring video. Feel the Bern!
This was heartwarming. I loved all of this. BERNIE 2020!!!
Never ceases to crack me up hearing Bernie introduce “Killer Mike”
They need to re-release this video!
Great discussion. All the best for the campaign from Australia where we are also feeling the Bern.
#Bernie2020
Thank you for reminding us how we are all connected and powerful when we stand together #Bernie2020
What sickos gave this talk a thumbs down? Sad!
Truly deranged.
Powerful people. Powerful discussion. ✊🏽
Amazing to know that Martin Luther King started the Grassroots movement he was never hesitant to fight for equal rights an equal justice and to know that he was never never afraid of any repercussions truly amazing information from a political presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and 3 amazing activist 👍
I end up watching this every MLK day, thank you all for sitting down and having this conversations, turned out to be a great way to celebrate and remember every year!
This makes me feel excited for our future as a country under the leadership of Bernie, Nina and others.
Excellent panel. Killer Mike and Sen. Turner were sharp. Dr. Cornel West...that man can distill a deep thought with a most artful and concise style of communication. It's like poetry springs from his vocal chords. I always find him an interesting and clear voice amongst the media chatter.
I never get tired of hearing mr west speak.
Bernie is a treasure!
Thank you for showing us, that it is still possible to be a purpose and values driven politician.
Bernie Sanders inspired me to become a better person.
this is fantastic. Seriously. Nothing else to say.
Let’s march for Bernie movement like when MLK marched with people ,!!
This stuff is still so valid in today's campaign. We need to continue to share and resurrect these gems. 👏🏾💯✊🏾
Bernie, you got your administration right here!
Add Michelle Alexander and Noam Chomsky, and you got it.
It’s a relief to know people like this live and fight, that there’s more to America than Trump and no-fascist bigots.
I’m all in with Sanders. He is the real deal, honest man... a candidate that says what he believes and believes what he says. I trust him, and I truly believe that he’s fighting to improve the quality of life for the 99%. He is with #Us, and it is our responsibility to fight the system and put him in a position of power to change the laws and priorities of this country. Stand for justice, Sanders embodies the spirit of MLK and Malcolm X, he is our voice in this revolution. #Sanders... #Us!
Us my sister! 💙
This was a beautiful conversation.
Well done, great panel.
“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
We all know who Martin Luther King Jr would be throwing his intellect behind in these the most critical time in history his cause has not changed or has been fully fulfilled yet .. but i do believe the time is right .. a Vote for Bernie Sanders is a Vote for we the people .. a Vote for Justice .. a Vote for human rights in every country on the face of the planet ....
Whatever happens at the next election Bernie Sanders Name will be among the Great Ones read out in history who only had Unarmed Truth as a weapon ... right alongside Martin Luther King Jr, Mohandas Gandhi, and Nelson Mandella ..
Stay well Bernie .. America doesn't need another energetic young man .. it needs your Truth and Wisdom like never before
Hey man that are some strong s*** man I mean that sent chills up my ass I ain't kidding you at my backside that's in chills up there that's some strong s*** brother
"This is a time for vigorous and positive action." -MLK
great quote
Nina in the zone. Sanders/Turner 2020
Legend.
This is a fantastic conversation.
On behalf of most of us politically engaged people in Europe, I urge you all to fight, spread the message and advocate to elect Bernie Sanders next president of the United States.
Then the very problems which still exist, but permeated around Dr King's time, can finally start to be solved in a serious manner.
Wow. Cornel West, Nina Turner, and Killer Mike. What an honor to have these surrogates.
it'be great to do such round tables again
nina turner needs to be bernies vp the woman is on fire. if she was running for president she would be way high in the polls with her witty remarks and understanding of history. im white i wouldnt mind voting her in as the first female president shes amazing .
that is a very smart move I'm not saying to push his votes but if we're talking the long run, she could definitely pull it off. #bernie #bernie2016
sean cobb nina turner would be a good choice for a co presidency with bernie as vp. we got alot of issues to tackle not one person can do it
I loved listening to this. I got tears in my eyes.
Awesome panel. So much wisdom and courage there!
4 of my favorite people! It doesnt get much better than this!
On the white side of life, I'd like to share with you a conversation with my grandkids when I picked them up from school. This was 7 years ago, but it remains in my mind because it touched my heart...
My grand daughter, who was 8 at the time, says to me..
It's not good to hate people just because they are black.
I said, That's right!
She continues,
Martin Luther King Jr. Had a dream.He wanted people to share. And now they share!
And then my 4 year old grandson let out a huge sigh and he shouts,
I love black people!
Even though I had to inform her that his dream has not come full circle, this is Texas and they love to teach fairy tales here, I believe she started out with the right mindset. My grandson too! LOL!
And now it's 2022, & I'm watching this for the first time. We've had some incredible setbacks since this roundtable, but Cornell, Nina, Bernie &.Mike are as relevant as ever.
✊
What a joy to watch these fine 4.
How the hell could someone in South Carolina vote for Joe Biden after watching this?
Dr King was a hero in our home growing up.....then they took he and RFK away from us and we haven't had anyone as brave and patriotic as them since.....I am so grateful to have lived long enough to see someone take up the fight again......I will be mailing a check to Bernie today......It's "We The People" NOT we ceos........
Great respect for all of these people.
Four of the greatest people alive.
Cornel West has one of the coolest voices. I’m a philosophy Major and I could listen to his lectures all day. His cadence reminds me of Jack Kerouac’s.
The greatness of a country is not measured by the strength of its army, the wonder of its art or by its advances in technology, but by how it treats its poor
Dr Cornel West, Nina Turner & Bernie is one the best teams ever......
Killa Mike...go Mike go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I spelled right...please correct me if I did not.
Sanders & Turner ! now's that's the ticket a lot of Americans can/should get behind !
The OGs.
The sound on this particular video is much, much better than the other video that is the same. I'm so glad I found this one.
I wish you didn't have to pay Nexflix to hear Mike talk more! He gives me hope for the people of my generation!
Oh my God. It only lets me give 1 thumb up. WTF!?
Bernie in his element. He is still a dreamer and a radical and he really seems to come alive when surrounded by brilliant people like this. Great discussion.
Nina should be considered for VP !
Robert Weekes she is almost certainly his choice, as she should be.
