Wake up America!!! This man should be president if we want to survive the coming years!
Agree
💯%
Yep we need more people like this guy. God bless him he’s talking truth, right free, free Palestine.
This country needs a change! Everyone in the government is so corrupt, they don’t care about their own citizens, America is like the Roman Empire and it’s obvious that this empire is crumbling because of their corruption .
And VOTE with Your Conscience intact! ---------- Psalm 23.
Dr. West is the BEST❤❤❤❤❤Cornel West 2024!!✊🏼
Your words are mine ❤❤❤
You speak the truth my brother from Australia 🇦🇺 love your wisdom
he is a sweetheart. compassionate and a just heart.
@@user-td1me4tv3u Of Course He Won't. BECAUSE Amurica is a Backward & Corrupt to the Core FAILING EMPIRE. Way Too Many Homegrown Americans have been denied Education, Opportunities to Succeed, Good Ol' Common Sense Parenting & Discipline. And the teachings of Universal Principles of ALL Religions rather than Following and Worshipping False Profits and the Almighty Buck.
@@user-td1me4tv3u He shall *cornhole* his way through to a Moral Victory. He's writing an Auto-Biography: *Cornel's Waste, a lightly melanated brother's journey thru AmeriKKKa's Corrupted Academia.* Coming out this September 11, 2024. 😊
The truth teller -- we need more people to listen to Cornel West.
Much respect to Dr. West & to all people of conscience✌🏾💜
As a white conservative proud American ..i am voting for Dr. West !
Bugger with no common sense don't forget about your rappers
Fellow Americans please vote for this man. 🙏
I hope Dr. West gets behind Dr. Jill Stein on the Green Party ticket, since she (unlike West) will be on the ballot in all 50 states. He had an interesting idea running for president but botched his campaign irreparably so early on that he lost all credibility as a candidate. But he's not meant to be president. Activism is where West shines. He exists to give fiery, motivational human rights speeches and inspire OTHERS to put together strategies for change. There's nothing wrong with that. We need all the strong voices we can get.
I love this man and they will kill him, so I will not vote or put him In this evil system. The black communities need him, so no vote.
And do what??😂😂😂
PLEASE DON'T BE BAMBOOZLED AGAIN PEOPLE. 👇🏾 CORNEL WEST IS A MASTER OF DECEPTION PEOPLE 😡‼️
Dr. West is exactly what this country needs. ❤
Thank you Doctor. The truth will set the world free.
Thank you Dr West for Always speaking TRUTH ! Call these Hypocrites out !! FREE PALESTINE
So many fake comments lol. Who puts a space before an exclamation point? Half of the comments on this video do.
That’s your critique? An exclamation point? Nothing substantive? Who takes the actual time to type a reply about an exclamation point ? Maybe stop typing and actually listen to the video .
@@gemmarosato3789 Why would I waste 28 minutes of my life on this brain rot? You and your "FREE PALESTINE" friends are going to look dumb as hell when this battle is over. 😂 Just wait until Hamas is gone and a non-terrorist organization has the opportunity to examine all of what happened. Skeletons will be flying out of Hamas' closets, both figuratively and literally.
My respect for Cornel West!
He kisses bidens behind😅
Thank you, Dr. West!
Thank you Dr Cornell West.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Urgent !!!
FREE THE AMERICAN NATURAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE!!!
From who?
Free already :-)
@@herealittlewhile7448Zionists
Dr.West for president,all love for him.❤❤❤❤
Brilliant! Says it like IT IS !!!
What the relief it is to listen such honorable man whose only intention is just telling the truth and advocating for justice. Prof. West is living legend and the hero of the fight for humanistic values in this terrible hypocritical and criminal, FASHISTIC world. 👍👍👍👏👏👏✌️✌️✌️🎉🎉🎉♥️♥️♥️💯💯💯
Thanks for having Dr Cornel West on ,I hope people in Usa listen to him and vote for him.He talks so much truth and sence.Free Palestine.
Sorry, but truth has never lived in the US. Yes the chickens are coming to roost and the people better get ready.

Dr. West ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ said for your braveness.
Well said, thank you
What a beautiful intelligent man ! The US needs a moral leader like this !
We Need Him BUT America is Not Even Close to being Advanced or Sophisticated enough!
He sides with Nazi's. And so do you.
@@paddyholly2184I would Vote for him.
He's crap
@herealittlewhile7448 You can label him anything you want,but he is RIGHT!!!
What an honest man. Definitely a candidate to vote for, not cotrolled by AIPAC.
A "free man."
If it has take Gaza to reveal to anyone that America is a criminal nation from inception then then that person is an accomplice to criminality of of America.
He isn't controlled by AIPAC, which is why he has no chance of winning. People like us need to focus less on elections, and more on organizing and creating the world we want to live in, within the shell of the world that exists.
Controlled aggression. I’ve been following Cornell West for 30 years not once. Did he ever speak about Zionism until currently controlled aggression Muslims don’t fall for this democracy has failed. The system has failed us failed the world.
Not now but the ball doesn't roll the way they have you perceive it to.
The truth is so overwhelmingly pleasing. Thank you, Dr. West. Peace
Thank you Mr.West for speaking the truth.
Dr. West has my vote.
Dr. West is right.
Yes he is!! Finally some one can say it.
WRONG
As a true white Caucasian originally from the Caucuses I must say this man is my hero and i probably love him and admire him more than my own blood because he is a true hero
The good thing is that people do not need mainstream media to be distracted. Social media is playing a great role now.
This guy for president!
American Voters should give him the chance !
I am seriously considering voting for Cornel West.
Vote for cornel!!!! So many people would be helped by his election.
He's got my vote, even though I know my state will go to Trump because of our stupid electoral college system. The U.S. is no real 'democracy' when the only candidates that can win are all bribe takers & warmongers.
Not happening
I am voting for Cornell West. The problem is the main stream media will not give him air time So many people have not heard from him. This country needs Cornell West in the White House.
I have an idea that might help. In addition to trying to share video and talk about Cornel West for President with Americans you know, also try to do community building events or projects that give opportunities for mutual aid and allow people more time and energy to be receptive to new ideas and possibilities come November 2024! Like, look at the One Small Town organization or Mutual Aid Networks could start building in communities. Maybe be able to start a community kitchen for contributing members putting in a few hours per week to help each other out, then gives a platform for discussing other issues, and that may lead to more talk about who would be a President to vote for who would be anti-war, pro-humanitarian and against predatory capitalism.
Facts cause they can't debate him 😂😂😂
Keep On Keeping On 💯🌈🔥🔥🔥
@@coolioso808 Wonderful ideas! The Black Panthers were Incredibly Successful with their projects. BUT they scared the 'establishment' so bad that they were Taken Down. Then the 'bad guys' flooded their communities with more and more lethal drugs and jailed the Strongest Leaders. Mostly men, but lots of Strong Mama's too.
😂
I am gonna vote for you sir.
Me too
Vote for Cornel West! 🙌🏽 🇺🇸 ♥️
Thank you for being brave and honorable Cornel: Most sincere thanks! 💪🏽💖🍉✊🏽
He is one of a kind
TRUTH Is True! THANK You Sincerely, AND BLESSINGS, Doctor West.💦🔥💚💫💨

Esau is the end… and Jacob(Yacob) is the beginning…. Shalom to HIS chosen!!!
That's a man with integrity and courage to tell the truth
Thank you!
America needs Cornel West
The sad truth is that most of the American citizens are brainwashed.
I really like his stance on war.
Facts!
Cornel West is done...watch the Jimmy Dore Show, he'll explain
needs him to go away
One of the best speakers and presidential candidates I have heard. I will definitely look into his campaign platform.
WEST for President indeed !
America would fall
Not just American but also European criminality
America is ruled by the European colonists!! They stole the land from the natives, and commited a lot of genocides against the native Americans!!
CIA created Eu UN OTAN for own destruction
US UK are both in the same putrid swamp!
You right.
They are both sick, and it's not covid.
You are so correct good brother
Thank you Mr Cornel
You have not only my vote but also my other four families! Free Palestine 🇵🇸✌️🏼🇵🇸✌️🏼🇵🇸✌️🏼
🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱
What a great man. He speaks the truth!
I agree free Palestine
Black face s in high places
@@herealittlewhile7448genocidal baby killers
This is the reason why Dr. West is not invited to the mainstream media shows.
Yep, the truth hurts!
Sadly, they only want Corrupt, Criminals & Genocidal people in Power. Again Sadly Governments don't want Good, Decent people like Dr West. Let us do our Best to put him into Power
@@wbanks3749 He is in good company. Neither is Noam Chomsky.
There is a reason, and he is one of them indeed, that nobody listens and watches mainstream media anymore. Free Palestine!
Yeah, he's not bought and paid for and clearly not into stepping and fetching.
Man with 🧠 🧠. We said! 💯
Nothing bad in trying when there is life there is hope. Keep doing what you are doing Professor West.
This man is one after my own heart. He is a truth speaker. I found it interesting that he didn't mention the word zionist once but referred to them as jews. They are not jews real religious jews are against Israel's colonization of Palestine. And always have been since before ww2.
Most self identified Jews don’t define themselves by religion … and Zionism has captured many religious Jews. People are using Jewish identity to commit crime and deflect from criticism , as if the word Jew is a taboo Some Jews are doing good , he spoke out against those Jews doing wrong
A worthy and interesting comment. Imao
Those jews that you speak of have platforms that they can speak for themselves.
Black faces in high imperior places. They're pharaohs musicians. You know who pharaoh is. ☺
@@user-wh3nf7eo2m i guess it's better to be pharaoh's musician than dragging those blocks up the pyramid.
Dr West said it all that's honesty at its best period
Cornel...you are the guy
This guy is right on, amazing! A real thinking man who is holding nothing back, love it! Glad I switched to unaffiliated party so I cannot be associated with Dems or Reps.
Americans . Please let this man be your President.
Ignorance
I could listen to Dr West all day long. Absolutely amazing man
Thanks
Dr West you are a great human being,honourable man that the whole world is proud of you,God bless you.
I am 100% for Dr. West. He is the spiritual leader of all people ...the Gandhi of our generation.
I will greatly give my vote to this man.
Love you brother!❤ thank you for keeping it real ❤❤❤
Dr. West, you have won my vote.
You are easily swayed, yet he said nothing about policies and what he would do differently..
Finally, someone with mental clarity and moral standing ❤
❤you have my voice Dr West.
So well said brother, thanks!
He Has SOME Uncomfortable TRUTH Bombs
💣💣💣 🔥🔥🔥
it is tiiiime.....lion kin*!
Respectful Sir, you are the best of America!
5:20 Facts... and we all know why!!!
Dr West ,, thank you very very much for saying the truth.
We have to break the tie… vote for WEST!
I hope Dr. West gets behind Dr. Jill Stein on the Green Party ticket, since she (unlike West) will be on the ballot in all 50 states. He had an interesting idea running for president but botched his campaign irreparably so early on that he lost all credibility as a candidate. But he's not meant to be president.

Dr. West tells so much truth about everything🙌🏾. Preach my brother! Hold up the blood-stained banner of our sick nation!! Help to heal us...and yes we must take our concerns to the streets!!!
God bless you Dr. West🙏
Thank you for sharing this valuable analysis!
Cornel West must surely be the most morally consistent and ethically astute leader in America today. God bless and protect this man. ❤️🇿🇦
❤❤❤
My brother Dr. West ✊🏽
Thank you Dr West for speaking the truth for all to hear.
Honest and courageous man.
Amazing
Respect to Sir Cornel West for letting the public know the facts. Cornel for President.
Cornel West for President, but Democracy at Work for the people to cooperatively implement themselves in the communities they live in, to take the power back! One Small Town can help, see Michael Tellinger's book "Ubuntu Contributionism" and further ideas from Peter Joseph's work, such as his Zeitgeist films and "The New Human Rights Movement" book.
I don't think he'd accept that title.
@@mandyharewood886 President? He's running for US President, but he's doing it for a greater good purpose, as part of a movement for truth, justice and love. To be "in charge of the Empire so he can dismantle the Empire" as he puts he. So USA can be a nation among nations, not the world's economic cop. Could not be two worse DemoPublican party reps as the other options, thank God Cornel West is brave enough to step up to the task and give the people some options. As well as Jill Stein and Claudia De La Cruz.
Schmuley has no words for Cornel, but targets Candace 😮😮😮
Thank you Sir for your kind words Bravo 👍👍👍👍
Dr West is a great scholar and a wonderful human being ❤❤❤
Not only its criminality and its immorality but also it hypocrites.
Mmhmm and the hypocrisy just takes what's already bad and makes it 5 times worse.
@@McKillahGuerillaWelcome to the Hypocricene.😳🌹j.
This here is a real 100% CERTIFIED BROTHA MAN ✊🏾
Well said 🤲🤲☝️☝️☝️🇵🇸🇵🇸
Dr West at some of his best! An important interview that is very worthwhile listening to. Thank you for having him on.
Thank you for this conversation 🌷
All Praises 👑. You are absolutely right. I will walk in faith.
For those who would argue that the Palestinians brought the massacres on themselves by revolting against the brutal IDF conditions under which they were subjected. Prior to the 1960 Blacks in the USA lived under appalling conditions in a police country that had its roots in a slavery country. Are we to believe that the Blacks should have kept their mouths shut and continue to serve their masters in order to not suffer the dreaded conditions under which they existed. Sometimes it takes a revolution, no one willingly give you your freedom sometimes you have to take it.
The colonizers religion has made a caste system of passive and docile people. The false doctrine is soft and turns the brain to mush. The people are less likely to rebel.
As the Children of God, the children of slaves in America weren't able to violently revolt in America. Our God told us in Deuteronomy 28:68 what would happen Tous and that we were to wait on him God has said that he would fight all our battles. OUR GOD is coming soon.Your comment is very insightful but unless you know that Israel is a people and not a piece of land,you will lose the plot.
Dr. Cornel West strikes me as a man of truth, honor, and integrity. He has earned my vote. I desperately want this man in the White House. Let’s do this!🙏❤️👍🙋♂️
Dr. West has my Vote this fall. He is truly the moral candidate.
Here is truth.
he's mentioning about pure truth !; absolutely right...
Anyone doubting if this a genocide is a psycho
You are missing the big picture. It is not genocide in Gaza
@@MichaelBegnini of course it is a genocide
@@MichaelBegnini40k dead is not a genocide? When is it a genocide then?
Agreed
Dr. West always states the facts. He’s got my vote for sure…
Truth Spoken, Thank You 🥰 for having this special guest who is strong, intelligent, wise and a truth speaker for many years unchangeable, i remember meeting Mr. C. West as a Child speaking though out the Communties in Zinti, Ohio 😂 Wow! 🥰🙏🏾✌🏾🌅
❤❤❤ Doctor West, you have been an inspiration to me for many decades, I am so thankful that you are with us during this perilous time in which we find ourselves.
One great feature of Cornel West is that he does not do compromises with his spirit.
He plays the politics of envy. He has no idea how to create or even maintain an economy already built, but he surely knows how to steal from those who built and earned.
You got my vote my brother!
And mine
Yes ! They are cowards as well as corrupt ! ! !
I was only halfway through the video and still started sharing it. This is IT.
Me too
