In such turbulent times such as these, to heal a nation we need a strong leader, one who is capable and fit for office. Instead, we got Biden.

[JayFrederick]

"Does it establish justice? Does it provide for the common defense? Does it promote the general welfare? Does it guarantee equal protection under the law?... Is it rooted in love and justice and mercy and grace?... and truth? And that's how we're gonna judge whether it's a good piece of public policy or a bad piece of public policy." Amen.

When ever I see Dr.Barber or Cornell West, I stop and give them my full attention. I listen and take in the truth they speak and their wisdom.

[jamesmccormick]

I love Dr.Barber. He doesn’t hold back on truth. Thank you Dr.Barber.

Actions always matter more than words.

[SpringRain]

I agree TRUTH is important. Transparency in each area, including voting.

[CCEkeke]

I love the respect that Krystal and Saagar showed the Reverend, who spoke so much truth in this segment.

[dianemonroe]

His words are meaningless. We already know all about his character and moral standing.

[bethbryant]

Biden's actions speak different from his words.

[IKE]

Atheist here, loving the Reverend’s wisdom and heart.

[adamchase]

.... He's a lifetime politician guys... cmon

[jesstiss]

Whew, I really needed to hear Rev. Barber on this today! Thank you, Rising, for having this discussion 🙏🏾

Words are effective at convincing fools, actions are effective at convincing those who actually care about their country.

[williamuptgraft]

Amazing how many preachers don't know what's in their own Bible.

[kevinmaxey]

Wow, if only we had a candidate who portrayed those same values... oh yeah, it was Bernie and to some degree Marianne & Yang.

[Brolo]

I need to see this brother as much as The Funky Academic.

[JazzHandzLMT]

Healing a nation that they played a major part in dividing and pretty good move, I must say

[justin-hipl]

I felt Biden’s words were mired in a framework negative imagery, not “nice”.

[mattjbg]

Rev Barber speaks truth. He actually does the grassroots organization that the rest of us just talk about doing online.

[dianadowie]

I was doubtful of this interview, but I surprised because it was a respectful and informative discussion. Thank you.
