-The fifth Democratic debate was last week,
and all the candidates came out swinging.
You know I was gonna make a joke about this,
but I don't think it needs a joke.
I think it needs to be slow-jammed.
You know what I'm talking about, Tariq?
-Yeah, Jimmy.
I think you're saying you'd like to slow-jam this news.
-That's right -- I want to slow-jam the news,
and I'm not the only one.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you.
Thank you.
[ Crowd chants "Bernie!" ]
Thank you.
Hello. I'm Senator Bernie Sanders.
And I, too, would like to slow-jam this news.
-Hit me five times! ♪♪
[ Slow R&B music playing ]
-During last week's debate, I went toe-to-toe
with my fellow Democrats on the issues that matter most.
We need to defeat Trump, the most dangerous president
in American history.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But we need to do more.
We can no longer tolerate three people
owning more wealth than the bottom half of America.
I have the experience to fight for that bottom half
and to create an economy that works for all of us,
not just those on top.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Oh, yeah.
Bernie Sanders is looking out for your bottom half.
He knows it's been neglected for too long.
Now he wants to pay it some extra-special attention.
He's sick and tired of having just a few people on top.
That's why Bernie's here to spread the love.
-♪ Wanna spread a little bit of love, y'all ♪
♪ 50 years of service, giving people the power ♪
♪ He's heard it all, except the words "please talk louder" ♪
-Now, tell me, "Woke Doc Brown," lately, this country's been
experimenting with all the wrong positions.
So what's your plan to bring us back to the future?
-Well, let's start here.
We need to enact Medicare for all.
[ Cheers and applause ]
We need to tackle the dangerous threat of climate change.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And we need to get Big Money out of politics.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I don't have a super PAC.
Instead, I have a grassroots campaign
with more individual contributions than any candidate
in American history.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I am proud of the donations we receive, no matter how small.
-Mm-mm-mm!
You got to listen to my bed-headed brougham.
He might not have a super PAC,
but he's packin' something super.
He's all about taking a firm stance
against corporations to give the people what they desire.
-I know you're joking, but it actually is quite sexy.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Man, just the way you said that has got me feelin' the "Bern."
And thanks to Medicare for all,
I can get it checked out by my doctor,
'cause this hunka-hunka Bernie love --
well, he wants to take care of all of our bodies.
-♪ Bernie loves your body, baby ♪
♪ He'll bring Medicare to all consumers ♪
♪ And if you can't dig that, then, okay, Boomer ♪
-Now, Senator, I was hoping you could take a minute
and talk Bernie to me.
We all know you've got a huge heart.
[ Music stops ] -No, no.
It's a normal-sized heart.
It's a completely normal, completely fine heart.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But continue. [ Music continues ]
-Well, now that you bring it up, what do you say to people
who think "The Sandman" is too...mature to be president?
-Well, to those people, I'd say that I'm feeling
strong, energetic, and more ready than ever
to fight for the American people.
-Hold up. [ Music stops ]
So what you're saying is...
♪ I do my hair toss, check my nails ♪
♪ Bernie, how you feelin'? ♪
♪ Hair toss, check my nails ♪
♪ Bernie, how you feelin'? ♪
-Feelin' good as hell.
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Slow R&B music playing ]
-Alright. One last question before we
wham, bam, thank you, Sand, this interview.
I made a lot of jokes about you in the past
and I even do a Bernie impression
that some say is pretty good.
But I was thinking, now that you're here,
do you want to do a Jimmy impression?
-Ha ha!
-Are you gonna do an impression of me?
-Jimmy, that was my impression of you.
-♪ Jimmy's got a third-degree burn ♪
-We must choose a leader who fights for what's fair.
-Who cares more about the people and less about hair.
-♪ Cares less about hair ♪
♪ Listen ♪
♪ Our battle's uphill ♪
♪ We cannot stand still ♪
♪ We'll write our new page like we wrote the damn bill ♪
♪ It starts with a Bern, then a fire breaks loose ♪
-And that is how we slow-jam the news.
-Oh, yeah!
-Give it up for Senator Bernie Sanders!
