(May 27, 2016 6:00 p.m.) — Bernie Sanders returned to the Young Turks for the second time for a one-on-one interview with host Cenk Uygur.

Sanders was asked about the possibility of holding a one-on-one debate with Donald Trump, his campaign for president, and the democratic process and other policy and related issues.

The Young Turks vouched to donate $1M to charity in support of, and in response to Donald Trump’s earlier claims that he would debate Sanders for $10M to be donated to charity.

The prospect of a debate between Trump and Sanders has not been finalized and hinges on Donald Trump committing to follow through with the debate.

(May 27, 2016 7:26 a.m.) — The Young Turks online program is offering up $1 million to host a debate between Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.

“We are now offering $1 million to charity in order to have that debate,” Young Turks host Cenk Uygur said at a dinner at the National Press Club in Washington on Thursday night.

“This is a very real offer,” Uygur said, adding that Trump and Sanders could pick the charity.

“It is our belief that the Bernie Sanders campaign is already in,” Uygur said, adding notices had been sent to both campaigns and the program was waiting to hear back from Trump.

(Mar. 23, 2016 12:45 EST) — TYTNetworks said last night during their election coverage that they will have Bernie Sanders on their show for a one-on-one interview tonight at 6 p.m. eastern. This comes after a persistent effort by them to schedule the interview.

Two days ago TYT host Cenk Uygur expressed frustration as to why Sanders had not appeared on his show yet (See YouTube Mar. 21, 2016 video link below). During the broadcast, Uygur analyzed the benefits of appearing on main stream media outlets like CNN, MSNBC and Fox, where the average age of these networks viewers was in the mid to late 60’s. He also discussed the benefits of appearing on his show as well.

Uygur agreed with Sanders’ campaign rational of seeking to appear on the typical main stream media networks because, “They vote more, and they needed to be persuaded away from Hillary Clinton,” Uygur said when referring to the older voters watching CNN, MSNBC and Fox.

Sanders has already garnished the support of the younger voter. This has been seen time and time again in the voting demographics thus far in the primary election.

Therefore why should Sanders appear on a show that basically caters to that lower-aged demographic he has already gotten support from? Uygur points out that TYTNetworks, “has a large progressive audience that is under the age 65.”

So appears that TYTNetwork’s persistence has paid off and managed to schedule Sanders for tonight’s one-on-one interview with Uygur.

“If your trying to run a revolutionary campaign that’s against the establishment, then why do you keep going and begging the establishment for favors,” Uygur said.

“Why don’t you come to the media that is actually revolutionary.”
