This white boomer is going with Cornel after the Bernie and Jill kneecapping. Keep on keeping on is what any good trooper would do. Third rail is sanity for shell shocked duopoly survivors. Thanx Brother and keep safe. I will be watching. ShakeUp XR
I am a 67 year old Caucasian senior female and I am all about the West campaign. He speaks for us all peeps not just people of color. He will be good for ALL OF US. I just changed parties from being a life time democrat to the Green Party so I can vote for him.
Love what you folks are doing dr.West has been a hero for us all. Alot of us white folks realize that what is good for black people is what is the same thing that is good for all of us. Thanks for doing such important work
I'm voting for Dr West because I hope it will push the democrats to do something substantial for black Americans. I couldn't care less for Hollidays or monuments. By 2053 black Americans will be wealthless. I'm not talking about income, I'm talking about wealth which is passed down from 1 generation to the next.
I will be voting for Dr. West. Great interview, just let him speak. I damn near cried about 4-5 times listening to him orate upon the truths of our human plight. I hope you all will join me in unapologetically expressing support for this movement which is so needed in the times we’re in
Love Dr West as he loves me even though he do oes not know me. He talks dignity which I find paramount. He is an intellectual who talks to and about the common people as an equal who never talks down to people but raises all.
"I'd rather be a corpse than a coward" man! Listen, I've watched 12 Dr West presidential run interviews, and yes, this was the most wholesome. Thanks yall.
Dr. West you are turning up everywhere, irrespective of how large an audience any podcast has. You are Bernie on steroids in a good way. You have my vote as a 70- year old Jewish woman on Long Island, NY!
This interview was amazing and should be shown on mainstream media… Sooo sad they won’t show such beautiful words on the mainstream… Thank you for the amazing questions you two amazing people asked. This is the first time I’ve seen you two beautiful souls but it won’t be the last..
Highlander Folk School in Monteagle, Tennessee was where a lot of civil rights activity started in the 1930s. Appalachia has a lot of good history of civil rights and labor. TY for having Dr. West on.
Never has the American public had an opportunity to support a person running for the highest public office who has the wisdom, intellectual, and spirital capacity to lead this nation in a way that would truly make us proud to be 'Merican.
One thing I’ve learned about a good jazz improv musician is that they make sure they leave a lot of space in their playing - to make sure everyone gets their own individual space in the song. Where did I learn that? From a bluegrass circle. Now, I’m more about jazz and blues in my musical approach, but I learned that from bluegrass players with a big respect for jazz improv.
Back in the day Cornell was among few who made sense to madness, good to see the wisdom and clarity to authority and how not to be is still strong. Resolutely Q.
💚💚💚💚 Dr West has a special anointing. He's got a gift that soothes the soul AND gets you fired up with passion at the same time! I subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more videos. Thank you so much for blessing us with this fantastic interview with Dr. West. Much different from most. Very original & down to Earth 🌎 Love seeing this side of Dr. West 🔥 🔥
He truly has a beautiful soul and his words flow through you like liquid melody. That being said imma need the Dr to try being more specific about his policy positions or maybe directing us to a page on his website highlighting specific policy positions.
LOVE Cornel. His oratory is second to non. He will need straight up policy soon though. His broad stroke conversational style is terrific but eventually he will have to say I am going to do X,Y and Z and this is how I will afford it. All power to him.
Thank you for this interview! Also, excited for August 25th, gotta see if I can make it to Jackson Mississippi! (He mentions the campaign kickoff at 28:13.)
God bless Dr West because he is truly doing the people's work and the people's work is God's work. People need an alternative from these two servants of big capital. Dont let them scare you the people are with you..
I'm from McComb Mississippi, down here in Southwest Mississippi,home of Singers Brandy and her brother Ray J,and Home of the late great Blues icon Bo Diddley!
Beautiful work. Glad I could find your page by looking for Cornel West interviews. I'm from Central PA and worked in Pittsburgh for 11 years early in my teaching career. Black Appalachian voices ought to be heard.
My patrilineal roots are in Black Appalachia by way of Virginia since 1806, walking the Cumberland Gap behind a coffel no doubt. But this area is crucial in the Great Migration cultures of the Midwest, too. Thank you so much for seeing all of us! Black culture gets fragmented and sold out frequently. Can we raise one voice⁉️
Dr West is a humanist who understands public policy, and that's more than I can say for any presidential candidate in my lifetime. Add to that his compulsive truthtelling and they will never, ever let him become president. But I will vote for him nonetheless.
I saw this podcast and the part about the youth being more involved with voting was heartfelt, the music plays a hugh role in our youth mental thoughts, and all these local groups having the ability to reach out to the youth but don't because everyone is looking for one person to do it was a greater example of how our communities are failing. Idk about y'all but I'm all in with this brother #voteCornelWestpresidency2024, cause the change is here and we all should want it
One of Dr. West best qualities is talking to either sides. He needs to do a whole tour in Trump country. I think he would be suprised how many people be could get. Those people are hurting and Trump was the only politician talking to them. Bring a positive voice to them.
I would gladly vote for West or Williamson as they both align with my values and sense of truth and justice better than Trump or Biden if those are going to be my options again in 2024. Great discussion, very informative and enjoyable.

What I heard was, stop mass incarceration, use the military billions going to the wars overseas at home to lift up the poor and working class, medicare for all, infrastructure, power to the people through Unions and worker co-ops and keep the movement going so the people get to express their wants and needs from the Politicians with the President using the bully pulpit to reinforce the demands of the people and encouraging the voice of the people (being a rebel rouser). Actually, I might have heard some of this on some of the other interviews he has had as well.
Great question. No straight concrete answers. They were all uplifting and philosophical. He is in the pide piper stage. He has me on his side on the issues. I think his actionable policies will be highly controversial when he finally says them out loud. I heard of one and it scared the centrists and right enablers. I have faith brother west that our United power can move the needle.
Integrity. That's all I have to say. Cornel West has integrity. A decent human with extraordinary intellect, and sound political conclusions. Hard to be rational in an irrational world.
There is good and bad in all of us. The point is which one dominates us. Hopefully, good is the choice. Keep living and striving for the best in you and others. 😊
Good politician. He talks a lot and answers no questions. Just like the rest of them that we all need to eradicate out of our government that's there right now
So happy to find your channel. I am from West Virginia and have been sharing my stories from home for some time. Thank you for what you are doing! I would love to have an opportunity to share with you.
