Killer Mike: "I believe in being able to do it all"
CBSN
There are two Killer Mikes: One, a rapper, and member of Run The Jewels, an acclaimed group with intense music; the other, the host of a PBS talk show, "Love and Respect," in which he turns down the volume, and tries to build conversational bridges.
The program is a throwback, no frills, as he sits down with those who are left, center and right. Despite his name, his show is civil and candid, despite tough questions. "You don't agree with everyone; you and everyone are not always in sync," he said. "But what you can do is have a loving and respectful conversation and exchange."
Born Michael Render, he forged his love of words growing up in historically Black Collier Heights, which is near where the 47-year-old lives today, in Atlanta. Visiting his childhood home, he told correspondent Robert Costa, "This is where I grew up. This is the porch I grew up on. And this is where my grandparents would sit and talk. It's a neighborhood of all Black people that chose to live amongst Black people… this world where everybody looks like me."

Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists set sail for the Gaza Strip on Sunday afternoon, aboard a ship carrying aid. The mission is aimed at "breaking Israel's siege" of the devastated territory, organizers said.
Seems that there is always a lot going on behind the walls of the White House where truth can often be stranger than fiction. But fiction can be pretty compelling, too. In the new novel "The First Gentleman" (to be published June 2 by Little, Brown & Co.), the commander in chief is a woman, and her husband is accused of murder. It's the third collaboration from best-selling author James Patterson and his co-writer, President Bill Clinton.
