I’m not a particularly religious person, but this was best conversation I’ve seen on a news program in ages. We really need more of this.

I have acquired a deep profound respect for Sen Langford even though I so do not agree with his politics. He truly is a decent honorable man. Sen Warnock too.

I actually really enjoyed this and looking at the comments, so did others. I’m sick of people yelling at each other, I’d like to see more of this - people seeking common ground.

The divide isn't that small for things like 'get money out of politics, Citizens United was a horrible decision'.

Thank you so much for this interview! So good to see two people of opposite parties working together on our behalf to make the world a better place👏🏼

As an outsider it has to start from the top, first you need to call out bully, intimidation. ie: 1 person and that person is not only dividing the US but threatening the world Canada, Mexico and now Panama. He’s threatening any country, journalists that not obey

[cindystreeter]

We need more of them running the country.

I had no idea that Senator Warnock & Senator Lanford were both Pastors. That's just Wonderful!! And how they can both work together gives me hope in this crazy world moving forward.

Mitch McConnell single handedly destroyed bi-partisanship in American politics.
