contacts an hour and 45 minutes into his journey. triggering a multinational search efforts. there are regulations in place, but as you can imagine, there aren't that many subs that go that deep. and so the regulations are pretty sparse, and many of them are antiquated, or they're designed for specific instances. so it's, it's kind of tricky to navigate those, those regulatory schemes. russian state media is reporting that the country security service is open to criminal case against the head of the must and rate wagner group. it comes off, they've got any progression of keys, most goes forces of killing a huge number of his forces and targeted strikes. he says and is vowed revenge is blaming russian military leadership. he also said moscow, so who ministry operation and ukraine is based on lies the most recent been fighting for russia and ukraine since the beginning of the conflicts. you will not

wave. why was the more needed where the ball was needed? so there's a handful of scum bags to have a bloss get p, our attention. chevy. how strongly armies? because our competitors, so the russian defense and as the so i show who could become a marshal because he really wanted to become part of russian history. the what was needed, not in order to attend the russian citizens the glory. i know in order to 3 minutes revised, the knots before you crane was almost co, is taking legal action against the all straightened government and separate developments. the stopping plans to build a new russian embassy and the capital camera most goes as it's already spent $8000000.00 on the project. last week, australia is government terminated, russia's tendency on the embassy site in cameras. so i think the potential security risk the kremlin, says the decision is an example of close russia. phobic hysteria. wonder if it's diplomats has been squatting on the land use high level climate finance summit as

higher i'm steve clements and i have a question. is there any room in us politics for a candidate who is running against both the republican and the democratic parties? and once the stand up for the working class? let's get to the bottom line. the. it's hard to imagine a presidential candidate in the united states who's not impressed with any of the major political parties who wants to stand up for racial equality and the working class. and once the sort of unplugged, the military industrial complex, but that's exactly what my guest today is doing is dr. cornell west. one of america's most prominent scholars inactive is the author of more than a dozen books who's taught at some of the top universities in the united states, including yale, princeton and harvard. and he's a professor of philosophy at union theological seminary in new york. dr. west, it's such a pleasure to have you on the show again. and let me just start out you of launch the a bid to seek the nomination as the green party candidate for president united states

running in 2024. i'm gonna start out. people are worried about the impact you have . i want to know why you're running. what do you want to bring to this race into the national conversation? i would appreciate to have it be my dear brother, but no, i've tried to be true to my calling, which is a quest for truth. the condition of truth is to allow suffering speak. and the quest for justice injustice is what love looks like in public. and so the legacy of modeling june, june, here by abraham josh, right? actual edwards, i the dorothy day in fannie lou hamer. all of these are when at my back as i spill over into the electro political system, you see the american empire is in very be been county k and external. the clive. and for me, i want to put the focus on those friends for no one called the richard of the your precious boy, people precious work. some people here and abroad, no matter what color, no matter what gender the matter with such orientation or matter what religious

identity. so it's a question of raising my voice and showing the ways in which big money and corporate wealth has completely dominated both parties and neither party could speak to the play and the predicament of poor and working people here in abroad. militarism abroad on the one hand and the internal growth test. well, any quality with in the american implant? you know, when, when the president biden ran against donald trump and won the presidency, black americans delivered that wind for him. it's just absolutely clear that that black americans who, who basically lag in wealth, they are victims of mass incarceration, and in american society you have lots of problems that had been been anchoring, you know, the story of black americans, but they delivered joe biden to the presidency do you believe they should be satisfied with jo biden's performance?

well, not at all. no one. the property is increasing the cook channel property in half doing the pandemic, but. ready law expired and the job probably went right back up again. that would show there's no deep commitment to trying to re do this child poverty. i'm calling for the abolition or poverty. i'm calling for living wages. i'm calling for strong defensive trade union movements. i'm calling for the colonizing the air, and most importantly, i'm calling for what by and has very much bought for he fights for the expansion of the military budget and the expansion of militaristic policies abroad. i'm calling for the, the military. ready arising of u. s. foreign policy deep the military rising of us imperial policy. so we have a major, major clash, and i've got to convince not just black americans, i've got to convince myself what americans across the board that military rising

abroad is leading to board possible nuclear exchange, millage rising abroad as taking away valuable resources that should be invested in health care, in decent housing quality education. and again, the increasing the quality of the relation in the countries with the violence, the polarization against or is ation american culture. the bread said, think the witness, my brother, and that has much to do with the lack of serious leadership in the white house, be a republican party, tied toward meal crashes and exemplified by trump or by and tied by varied much mediocre milk toes neoliberalism. exemplified by your dr. west i've, i think i have read on all of your speeches in the last few years. and i was frankly, kind of surprised to see your willingness to run for the nomination of the green

party and run for president. because it's kind of a comment that you're playing by the rules of the system that you're going to run for office within the boundaries of how electoral politics is done. you're running against the republican party and the democratic party. but i always saw you, you as someone who is basically saying this system is rig and it's a rig against the people you're trying to represent. i'd love to understand that tension because it's an interesting comment that of all people running in this way you're running in the system sort of against the system. yeah, that's a wonderful point though, and in all honesty, i surprised myself that allows us to be honest, surprised my magnificent wife and i, he to the west wind because they've always, you'd myself as part of a prophetic tradition that brings critique to bear on, on just as wells and tries in power, poor and working people wherever they are. but what has happened in the last couple

years is that we have an ad voices on the side that i have in any way tried to speak to poor and working people. so i decided to do what becomes the of the american empire in order to dismantle the american empire and empower a poor working people around the world. in my candidates, the my brother is just a moment and a larger global movement, increasing voices from around the world. every corner of the globe, calling for policies that would accent their dignity. and so in that sense is quite continue with, with my own prophetic sense. the ability is just as you're right now, i'm going inside in order to dismantle, to ensure that those resources available there can be made much more available the poor and. ready and people a, how do you feel your messages being heard?

you know, i remember, you know, 20 years ago, i worked closely and professionally with dr. challenges. johnson champ chalmers wrote a book called blow back the costs and consequences of american empire. it became the toughest to get book after the iraq war. the are invasion of the rock occurred . and he made similar arguments and, and he was a powerful white scholar from u. c. berkeley who had moved to use the san diego commenting that the tensions about american militarism and american military engagement. we're going to show up our, uh, the fabric of society internally. and i'm interested in, in your own observations about that and how you get from where we are today to the kind of world where you think there's going to be much more justice in equity. because it seems to me, if you're right, it's going to be a horribly messy process. well, one is already invested in terms of the data,

so you can be on the west bank that so many impressions, palestinians being pushed by bol barrick, is really defense forces in get at the same time you've got peasants in brazil at the same time. you've got workers in your gums at the same time. you've got dallas and in the woodlands in china, who are not being treated right in this, just a matter of trying to not a any by that. but they hate injustice. thomas johnson was a great crew teller. he was cutting radically against the grant, and he was cutting radically against those scholars who were coming up with rationalization, american, imperial power. so he became a prophetic figure, very much like the right male to w. b. dubois tony moss and trying to tell the truth, but it's already messy is already ugly, already violent. the question. ready how do we come to terms with that messing this, that violence in such a way that we can accept the best in each and every one of us. i recently listened

recently to an interview you did with the black agenda report, which i found very, very interesting and illuminating and one of the other surprises for me. and that was your enthusiasm, frankly, for wanting to go into trump country and your thought that there will be a lot of promptness that are now kind of engage with president trump, who may find your message very compelling. tell us more. well, one of one out of 10 of the supporters of donald trump actually supported my very dear brother bern sanders. you know, i supported bernie sanders twice, 20162020. and he had the same critique of wall street that i had. he didn't have to say take up the printed conder line, but he's very progressive and it means man, adults and support truck. you know, they're not stereotypes. they're human beings who are deeply wounded, deeply pushed against the wall economically. but they choose to follow a neo fascist by piper, rather than to understand their condition in such

a way that it creates a class solidarity across the race and across regions. i'm going straight into trump country and try to convince them that they're major political bows. actually, all the one percent echols of the occupied movement of, you know, of course 3 individuals in the united states have, well, the equivalent to the bottom, 50 percent of americans. it's a 160000000 and the top one percent have well, the equipment to the bottom, 90 percent. so 60 percent of americans are struggling every day to survive. and yet is the richest nation in the history of the world. and yet it's got military expenditure that up more than the next 10 countries come by and they've got $800.00 military units all around the world for example. and there's no way that the poor and working people can be in power given this kind of arrangement of an empire

. so that's where the real effort needs to be. the truth telling on the one hand, the organizing on the other and then trying to do it in the spirit of love to this. and this is a challenge. you know what i mean? that's the real challenge i need to talk. but if the student situation went up trashing views, but the system i have no time for any and i do is aged. i only have time for a for me, palestinian dignity and a from me your security. but your security does not go in and and, and with it is really i get page and that will never be your security within is really occupational dump an agent of alice standing. and how do we engage in this, in such a way that we get beyond hatred and revenge, but put love and put justice and most importantly, put the suffering of the least of the there's, you know, i'm a revolutionary christians on the 25th chapter of matthew means months to make what you do to the least of these the. ready or the old press, the subs data you do want to make,

i take that very seriously in terms of what color would you also have the 1st woman of color, essentially in the white house as vice president united states. and so i'm just asking, has she delivered for the communities you're talking about? i mean, i'm interested in your view because a lot of people point to campbell harris and they say that's a sign of success. does it feel like a sign of success? well, no, i mean the same thing with george obama. we had a black president, black president of black attorney general at black homeland security. but you got a black glass movement. why had middle dr. police department, just like you got militarized, but i liked conditions on the west bank and gaza that the a presence of a black face and a high place symbolically shows a certain breakthrough, but substantially. doesn't mean too much if they don't have the courage to critique the status quoted, they're part of. and so kamala harris does read just last year. so i went by and

was asked whether america was a racist aside. and he said, now they ask her, is america rates decided? she said no, but she just following up balls. not interested in truth. as i said before, the if you can allow to separate this be you're not speaking true. we've got mass incarceration. i thought 25 percent of all in cross it'd be with the world of united states. most them black and brown, easily easily white supremacist in that way and extension in many ways of the slavery of 244 years in the western hemisphere. and jim crow and james crow another 100 years. ready have to be free enough to speak true, not in the spirit of everite dismissed, but in the spirit of self critical, the nation's commitment to the overcoming, the plan and predicament of on working people around the world. reminds me of, i'd be well, barnett. that's my tradition, it's a great tradition of a black people. it says in the face of care. we don't care eyes back. we want

liberty for everybody, but we will fight in the face of adrian. we will still love truth and beauty and justice and organize in order to attempt to overcome in the face of trauma will be wounded. he lives rather than wounded earners. that's the great tradition of level for black freedom in the united states. and this campaign is just a small way in that great ocean of the grand tradition. in your campaign launch video, dr. west, you, you reference your concern about the destruction of american democracy. loved to hear more what is driving that destruction of american democracy from your view. whether getting mail slash isn't escalated where it is video, fascism. it is a rule of big military, big money with political leaders who convince a relatively helpless citizenry that they should scape goat the most vulnerable, indigenous people, black people,

most of the air wraps emigrants do any group that historically has been degraded. and that's precisely with trump does that you cannot have a democracy with the ruler. big money would grow as well as in a quality with hardly a public sphere, which means everything is commodified, ends up being militarized, ends up being private eyes. so there's no public spaces where people can come together and engage in critical reflection. it's simply banks derives simply pull arrives and the result is what year and the increasing fear in the that's what we're seeing in the united states. and that's why it's so important to keep alive the great legacy to monitor the king, junior, fannie, lou hamer and others, you know, next week the supreme court is supposed to roll on affirmative action. and i'm interested if they strike down affirmative action. so do you worry about that,

or is that basically a small measure when it comes to the level of systemic change? you're advocating? yeah, i mean, my expectation is that certainly will that already that little bit it down read narrow conceptions of diversity is no longer has anything to do with the kinds of call for reparations that are needed in order to begin to deal with the damage done of slavery and jim crow and jamie going other forms of domination. so i, my hunch is they certainly will eliminate in front of the reaction. and we simply have to continue our struggle and try to come up with ways in which black people, but not just black people around people, not just around the indigenous people, not just individuals, for people across the board. the ways in which they getting access to resources indignantly. so we simply have to shift the strategies that my brother supreme

court be bleed conservative the the right wing for the most part. as you look at the campaign that's coming ahead, i'm really interested in the green party, the people's party and you know, many people discount, then you have any chance at all of winning. but what i've been able to tell them to said your voice is going to be heard, you're going to be out there critiquing. but how, what is your national strategy politically as you kind of begin this effort, which you launched on june 5th. as you look at the country, how are you going to try and turn someone who's a skeptic of your candidacy into someone who understands what you're doing? well, 1st there, you know, the political discourse of america has been so narrow that most fellow citizens haven't even been exposed to the kind of vision and analysis that i have. so there is going to be a real, a breath of fresh air. i hope that they can see that somebody is concerned about tab bu issue that they are and they get

a chance to talk about the ukrainian or there's no serious understanding of the impact of the expansion of nato and united states by a lady gets promised that nature would not move one inch toward russia. americans know that if there were missiles in canada or mexico and russian missiles in canada and mexico, us implant went below down into smithereens. they were never allowed, resorted to the cuban missile. right, in the 1962 without the empire as big a, there's no doubt about that. now rush and we know has its own domination, real pressure, but it is a small and power compared to the united states. and so just to have an analysis of the cease fire stopped the stopped the suffering of a pressure due premium. but this is but understand that nato historically and is today. ready a are of us global our and therefore it is in no way

neutral. it is in no way to be trusted in terms of telling the truth. most americans are only even getting answers to the view. they will now in this campaign because i'll raise that issue over and over again. same will be true in the middle east in terms of the palestinian situation. same will be true when it comes to what's happening in latin america visa, the us imperial power, and certainly that will be the case in terms of the mass incarceration. decrepit schools in decent housing, unavailable, health care, what, what black or brown, or white and others in the riches empire in the history of the world. a, dr. west from the moment you launched your campaign. the headlines about your campaign launch wire, cornell west spoiler for bite. and i, i'm fascinated by the commentary that sort of, you know, tries to support the,

the lock that 2 political parties have in the us political system. and the, the immediate enmity of a 3rd party that comes in. i'd love to hear from you and tell those people who have that criticism and see you as a potential spoiler for joe biden. how you view democracy a little differently. but it's fascinating to me that those was on the one hand, supposed to be committed to democracy, are still interested in excluding a variety of different voices, especially when the voice is a highly critical, the one just as close to the idea that we could have a political difficult in the united states at this moment, with no serious talk about destruction of the planet, let alone destruction of democracy. but no serious talk about the redistribution of will downward as opposed to where it is now going upward. with no serious talk about the issue. ready the class and how it relates to issues of race and gender,

let alone all it relates to imperial, born policy. those that it shows, in fact, that our political release, the amount of interest in democracy in any substantive way. a democratic robust conversation about our status just as the vision for a better future mad at all. they've got mechanism those, those are cheap, they've got mechanisms of exclusion. and the say i'm a boiler is the same. what the joseph biden that he owns, votes that people can't say for themselves. the people can't be so craddick can reach positions that are outside of the mainstream. i'll say, let me ask you find the dr. west, what would day? one of a cornell west presidency look like when i have to my beloved wife, i say, do you know if, when i, when i'm not even going to move into the white house until every one has

a house that the 1st day is going to be one in which a paradigm shift has taken place, the 1st day of the one in which we're going to begin the demilitarized of u. s. foreign policy to the bull. back of all the military troops in too many places is going to be one in with wall street and pentagon and silicon valley leaves will begin to tremble because well, passed the lie and on their organized re not in the spirit of a credit like jesus in the temple and i don't know, jesus, jesus, an example, ran out the money change was not because he ended the wrench. he hated green and miss. and i'm glad is about that age. written other person agree age with the injustice. that will be the spirit of wes administration, and i will do it goes out why julia decided and no man moving about jamal and her whole lost little comparison. and as it happened, those. ready my brother, well,

thank you very much dr. cornell west. thank you so much for joining us today. thank you so much. i. so what's the bottom line? the voice of this american philosopher is going to become a significant part of the national conversation about america's next leader. and what that leadership stand for and try to accomplish this election was already bound to be interesting. but with dr. cornell, west and the race is going to be someone with a national megaphone shaming a system that has little concern for those living in poverty have been victims of mass incarceration, no matter who the democratic and republican nominees for president are. and even though i don't think dr. west has a snowballs chance in hell of winning, they will have to respond to his critique some challenges. and that's going to be a win for many who have never had the chance to win. and that's the bottom line. the, in an effort to me telling us basketball team

confronts it to lease out dates as low which excludes them from competitive schools . we also budget to compete because we are foreigners, we are not foreigners, we all vote. and if you took out, is there a world follow sense and the inspirational coach say font, the more just to compete smoke out there at all to deny these young boys to ride. sometimes i'll skip hold on al jazeera for to and i promised on late the unemployment hasn't been central to global opiate production. and this whole emissions of drug rounding them up. former jay, the fighter under covering products, indicates his life, giving them hope. with this a 2nd shot on the jersey, we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no

matter how you take it will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you, the hello, i'm around and why is the and the just a quick update to the headlines now. russian state media are saying the country security stuff is open to a criminal case against the head of the most read wagner group and citing and use in a this comes off the have getting promotion accuse most goes for his upcoming, a huge number of his forces in targeted strikes, he has vowed revenge for this is blaming russian military leadership and said most goes supplementary operation in ukraine.
