The campaign video showing the discussion between rapper Cardi B and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, has now been published.
In the video, now available on YouTube, Cardi B and Vermont senator Bernie Sanders meet and sit down in the TEN Nailbar in Detroit. 
Their talk is kicked off straight away by Cardi B, who says: “Don’t you ever feel, like, scared that these people that run drug companies and schools, you know it’s all a business, and it’s like, are you scared that you will get so many powerful people upset?” 
Sanders responds: “Cardi, that’s what I’ve been doing my whole life”.
The two discuss issues including racism and police brutalities against “black men and minorities”. 
Cardi also highlights the problems surrounding minimum wages, talking about her own experience with low wages before she was famous. 
She says: “I wasn’t able to pay my rent, get transportation and eat.”
Cardi calls minimum wages, “starvation wages”. Sanders says that the legislation he introduced was raising the national minimum wage up to $15 per hour. 
The pair were also critical about the current US president, Donald Trump. Cardi B says, “We have this bully as a president”, she also said “And the only way to take him out is somebody winning.” Sanders response to that was, “Obviously we need to end all forms of racism in this country”. “From Donald Trump down to the local police department. We have something like one out of four young black men in this country end up in the criminal justice system… That is disgusting and beyond belief. So the first thing we do is we make sure that young people in this country, Black, Latino, Native American, whoever they may be, get the kind of education and job training they need so they can go out and get good jobs. We have to invest in jobs and education.”
