Senator Bernie Sanders had an event at William Penn University in Oskaloosa, Iowa, on Monday.

CBS News campaign embed Kylie Atwood was there. She says it was a pretty quiet college campus audience, until Sanders began encouraging audience members to engage with him and share their personal stories.

He moved through the issues his campaign is highlighting like income inequality and the need to have tuition free college -- and then he would tell those gathered to see him "let's talk about it."

To hear the conversations Sanders had with audience members, and to hear his response to the impersonation of him on Saturday Night Live, watch the video above.
