9:05 am
a military coupon by his one time allies in russia's ministry of calling it an mutiny. barbara and grandpa, out of sarah the southern associated roast of phone dollars, about 1100 kilometers away from the capital must go. the governor of the pet screeching and central russia has said a minute, treat homeboy. it was only m full highway connecting moscow to southern regions, including russell phone, done, and photographs. and then which way is close to the traffic on the folder with the board. and that's region. if any provision has suggested, he sent unarmed convoys of his finances toward small sco. so let's take a closer look at the vault and agree that the private power military force was established in 2014 by you've got any provision where they participated in russia's attic, sation of crimea production is business. been with place ties to present to tonight, became known as the 2 tents shift for his catering and restaurant businesses. is believe they have as many as $50005.00 dozen ukraine. many of them criminals
9:06 am
released from russian trails and promised freedom if they survived the fighting block, the route members have been accused of all crimes. the group has been at the forefront of the fighting in buckled russia finally captured the city last month after suffering heavy casualties. video and spoke to roger and men on these director of grant instruct, if you program at defense priorities, a washington dc based thing, turnkey explains why production is making you move against the military establishment or the most important expected to be a 4 or while accounts is turned into a protracted war, and now it has brought political for most of the home from city dearly wanted to avoid. what we know, of course, is that the group has marched on parts of southern russia to senior general's generals leaking in general, letting me elect sale, have appealed to business owners to put down their arms. there are security
9:07 am
personnel in moscow who have been told to stand by post office taking special security measures. so this is an unfolding crisis, and i don't think you've seen the end of it. the interesting question is whether revision is acting as a loan rules, which would be suicidal, rational, he hasn't shown any signs of that yet. whether he's back by other forces, we don't know, i don't know, but it's something to watch for. okay, so, so in your analysis and what you've been sort of research and looking at these past few months while the conflict has been ongoing, is there any basis or any facts to the accusations for us? and it's saying that most ago is kelly engel turned against his wagner forces. we only have to go into word for it. but this began with regards units using the military withholding supplies, then a choosing the defense ministry, and the chair of general stuff, general garage involving open competence, then comes as late as accusation. but we also had a statement regarding that said,
9:08 am
the war was unnecessary reason why shouldn't people have been misled in before that he won the war could turn into a revolution. so he's been up and the idea. now if you decide to take on the rocks and stayed on by the near point, in personal approach, can it possibly can ruffle a lot of fet, those by multi saying, i'm what's going on right now, but there is actions. mean there is the worry for most go that this could start to domino type of effect, that they may be of a disgruntled military officials and of parts of the country that agree with what process can actually has to say. and may be thinking about joining him, perhaps this much is absolutely clear. it is certainly cross the mind of the senior russian leadership, including the superintendent that could happen. hence the appeal back to very senior general's speaking to the wagner, who addressing them almost his comrades and telling them we do not want to push the
9:09 am
conflict into a civil war. the kind of thing is waiting for that to happen. please go back to your station as your barracks will be the elected leaders of the country. so i think they are indeed very worried that they're facing a situation that is kind of in the direction, but they don't know and they're not taking the chances of i was going home is a defense and delivery on the list. so he says, let them be a patient, has never faced a crisis and the serious during his presidency. this is, i would say the most serious crisis of president puts in to 22 and a half years of rule because of the discrete, assess, i also had there, i mean, serious problems there was for even fighting in moscow and sort of, i mean, getting the 93, but put your never face such a crisis as now which may shake the foundations of his receipt that he's not direct. we're attacking the president of bob t's at that. getting the defense
9:10 am
minister, sir j shribel, his number to g for general staff from the dressing of other men, would treat con, top brass. as in general, the as a allegedly very corrupt russian ruling. and these are popular wars themes, popular most likely with his own soldiers. and officers, and with the russian general public. so potentially this could be the beginning of a real revolution in russia. a 4 of his 4 forces continued to move and they're moving rapidly. and if your soldiers a baby orders and be and will be ready to use force and i believe they will do so rather answers. he asked that only because they are also kind of how the tests of the system form or a converts. a former millishape personnel,
9:11 am
that's where the merchant doesn't like the military hierarchy. and, and there of course, so that the hardened veterans of the back to bus moment where they saw so many of their comrades killed. i mean, they are, i think, very angry people to unless they take over russ pulse that's will be a very serious problem because the raw stuff is the nurse center of the russian operation in a crate. that's where the main staff is that that's the city where the staff of the south military district though is, is. but also there, the bunker is the main command staff of the entire operation. and the various forces the guy dress though, they don't think they're a match for the rock never veterans. these are prior military people, maybe some transcripts. there are no match. so stopping them,

9:33 am
not to stay with us here. i'm just there a discipline record in poland to be accused of judges who refused to the states. line. witness follows through courageous judges spear heading the stand against reforms. critics, please leave the highest guardians of the constitution, vulnerable to politically motivated sanctions, based on their reading. the judges under pressure on that just either a hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question. is there any room in us politics for a candidate who was 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
9:34 am
class and wants to 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 as the author of more than a dozen books whose products 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. doctor west. it's such a pleasure to have you on the show again. and let me just start out. you of launched a, 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 and justice is what love looks like in public. and so the legacy of modeling june, june, here by abraham job, right?
9:35 am
actual edwards, i the dorothy day in fannie lou hamer. all of these are when at my back as i spill over into the electrical political system, you see the american empire is in very de been county k and x title, the clyde. and for me, i want to put the focus on those funds 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 grotesque wealth, any quality within the american empire. you know, when,
9:36 am
when the president biden ran against donald trump and won the presidency, black americans delivered that when 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? it was not at all. no one, the property, it increases. he did cook channel property in half doing the pandemic, but the law expired and the job probably went right back up again. so it showed as no deep commitment to trying to read it was child poverty. i'm calling for the evolution of poverty. i'm calling for living wages. i'm calling for strong
9:37 am
defensive trade union movements. i'm calling for d compromising media, and most importantly, i'm calling for what bite 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 demilitarized thing 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 that americans across the board that military rising abroad is leading to board possible nuclear exchange. millage rising abroad is taking away valuable resources that should be invested in health care in decent housing, quality education. and again, increasing the quality of the relation in the countries with the violence, the polarization against the zation of american culture. the bread said,
9:38 am
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 type jordan, meal crashes, and exemplified by trump or by and tide, by very much mediocre mill. tell us neo liberalism, exemplified by your dr. west i've, i think i have read 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
9:39 am
tension because it's an interesting comment. that of all people who are 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 need to the west wind because i've always use myself as part of a prophetic tradition that brings critique to bear on on just status blows and tries in power, poor and working people wherever they are. but what has happened in the last couple of years is that we have an ad voices on the side that i have in any way tried to speak the poor and working people. so i decided to do what becomes head 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
9:40 am
a moment and a larger global movement, increasing voices from around the world. every corner of the globe, calling for a policy that would accent their dignity. and so in that sense is quite continue with, with my own. ready fedex sense 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 to poor and work 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 the 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
9:41 am
u. c. berkeley who would move to use the san diego commenting that the tensions about american militarism and american military engagement. we're going to show up our, the fabric of society internally, and i'm interested in, in your own observations about that and, 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 barrick, is really the defense forces. and get at the same time, you've got peasants in brazil at the same time, you've got workers and you've gone to 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 me not a any by that, but they hate injustice. thomas johnson was
9:42 am
a great crew to tell that he was cutting radically against the grant. and we was cutting radically against those scholars who were coming up with rationalization. the 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 messing 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 of the 10
9:43 am
of the supporters of donald trump actually supported my very dear brother burns and . ready 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 is the take of the printed conder. that but he's very progressive and it means man adults and support trump, 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 understand their condition in such a way that it creates a class solidarity across race and across regions. i'm going straight in the drug country and try to convince them that they're major political bows. actually, all the one percent echols of the occupied movement. and, you know, of course 3 individuals in the united states have well, the well to do the bottom,
9:44 am
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 and it is the 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 my name fire. so that's where the real effort needs to be. the truth telling on the one hand, the organizing on the other. and then i tried to do it in the spirit love this, and this is a challenge. you know what i mean? that's the real challenge i need to talk, but it's really power statement situation without trashing views, but this doesn't have no i'm. ready any anti jewish aged? i only have time for a for me, allison and dignity, and
9:45 am
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 occupation to dump a nation of palestinians. 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 these as you know, i'm a revolutionary christian. so the 25th chapter of matthew means months to make what you do to the least of these, the. ready or the old press, the subjugated you do on to me. i take that very serious, serious in terms of a call. and 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 calmer harris and they say that's a sign of success. does it feel like a sign of success? well, no, the same thing with george obama. we had a black president,
9:46 am
black president of black attorney general at black homeland security. but you got a black lives movement. why had mill drive police department, just like you got militarized, brought to light 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 society. he said now and they ask her, is america rates decided? she said no, but she just following up balls. not interested in truth. as i said before, 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
9:47 am
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 jane crow, another 100 years. ready have to be free enough to speak through, not in the squared as ever i just missed. but in the spirit of self critical, the nations, the mid meant to the old would come into play and predicament of born working people around the world. reminds me of ida b wells 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 acreage. 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 green ocean,
9:48 am
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 ism escalated where it is legal, fascism, it is a rule, a big military. big money was 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 can not have a democracy with the rule of big money would roll as well as any quality with hardly a public sphere, which means everything is commodified ends up being militarize ends up being
9:49 am
private eyes. so there's no public spaces where people can come together and engage in critical reflection. it's simply based, arise simply pull arrives and the result is what you're really increasing here in the that's what we're seeing in the united. ready and that's why it's so important to keep alive. the great legacy vermont is 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 or formative action. um, 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, my, my expectation is they certainly will. are they already died little bit it down. right. 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
9:50 am
damage done to slavery on jim, crow, and jane, so in other forms of domination. so i, my hunch is they certainly will eliminate the 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 have ways in which they getting access to resources and vigorously. so we simply have to shift the strategies that my brother supreme court, the lead 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 a 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 probably begin this effort, which you launched on june 5th?
9:51 am
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 or, you know, the political disclose 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 tabel 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 violating gets promised. that major 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,
9:52 am
us implant went below down into smithereens. ready 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 you premium. but this, this is but understand that nato historically and is today 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 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 v us the perio power. and certainly that
9:53 am
will be the case in terms of the mass incarceration, decrepit schools in decent housing, unavailable health care for, for 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 in
9:54 am
a so interested and excluding variety of different voices. especially when the voice is a highly critical 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 issues of class and how it relates to issues of race and gender, let alone how it relates to imperial born policy. so that it shows the, in fact, that our political release, the amount of interest in democracy in any substantive way, a democratic role bus conversation about our status just as the vision for a better future. not at all. they've got making the citizenship. they've got mechanisms of exclusion in the say, i'm
9:55 am
a spoiler 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 full back of all the military troops. in too many places is going to be one in which wall street and pentagon and silicon valley
9:56 am
leads won't begin to tremble because well, passed the light on, on their organized re not in the spirit of a live g lives in the temple. and i don't know, jesus, a 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 while i get it is uh the answer is no man moving a bu, jamal and a whole submitted to prison. and that's what i was saying, 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 who have been victims
9:57 am
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, the the hello there is a scorching story across the middle east and event,
9:58 am
lots of heat here. and we are expecting temperatures to continue to why is this? we can 48 degrees celsius that in baghdad, 46 in doha, but look at to 8 city 49 degrees celsius. well above the june average, much more pleasant conditions to be enjoyed across the event across. it took here lots of sunshine over there, but the wind picks up the spring shamal wind across the gulf. that's going to take up a lot of dust and create some hazy sunshine. now as you move it to the north of africa, the heat continues to build across and move west with heat wave conditions in morocco. the temperature in rebec picking up a saturday into sunday before the south of this temperatures will be coming down across the western parts. of africa, it'll be more in the way of windy weather with lots of hazy sunshine here to heavier rain, affecting coastal areas of nigeria, that central band of africa. seeing lots of heavy rain through to sunday much wyatt to the south. of this, the winds pick up however for tanzania blowing some of that rain for the north,
