the hi, 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 is not impressed with any of the major political parties who wants to stand up for racial equality and the working 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 is the author of more than a dozen books who's part of the 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 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 joshua, 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 channeled the k and external decline

. 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, no 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 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. he did cook channel property in half doing the pandemic, but. ready law expired and the job probably went right back up with you. that would show there's no deep commitment to trying to be here. this child poverty, i'm calling for the abolition or poverty. i'm calling for the 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 demilitarized thing of u. s. foreign policy. deep the military arising 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, increasing the quality of the relation in the countries with the violence, the polarization against the zation, american culture, the brakes that 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 the tide by very much mediocre mill tells neo liberalism exemplified by your doctor

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 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. you know,

allow 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 petite 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 inside 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. ready 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 a low calling for a policy that would accent their dignity. and so in that sense is quite continuous

with my own. busy prophetic sense, ability is just as you are 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 working people. and 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, 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 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 muslims in china who are not being treated right in this. just a matter of trying to not be any body, but they hate injustice. thomas johnson was a great crew teller. he was cutting radically against the grain. we was cutting radically against those scholars who were coming up with rationalizations american imperial power. so he became a prophetic figure very much like the ride meals and

w. b. dubois, a tony maurice 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? we can accept the best in each and every one of us. i recently listened recently to a 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 of the supporters of donald trump actually supported my very dear brother burn center. 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 to build 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 understand their condition in such a way that it creates a class solidarity across race and across regions. i'm going straight in the trump 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 it did about and 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 it's got

a 100 military units all. busy around the world affords them fine, and there's no way that the poor and working people can be empowered, 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 a sign in to do with getting a speed 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 without trashing views, but this doesn't have no, i'm. ready any and i do is a trip. i only have time for a, for me, allison indignity and a from me you're 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

a lot up and put justice and most importantly, put the suffering of the least of the there's, 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 calling. 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, brought to light conditions on the west bank and gaza, that the 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 got 25 percent of all incorporated people in the world of united states. most them black and brown, easily easily white supremacists 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, but you have to be free enough to speak through madame a squared as ever i just missed. but in the spirit of self critical. ready of the

nation as the mid meant to the overcoming, the planning predicament of 4 and 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 that 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 and 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 got mail slash isn't 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 air wraps immigrants do any group that historically has been degraded. and that's precisely with trump. does that you can not have a democracy with the ruler. big money would grow as well in a quality with hardly a public sphere, which means every thing is commodified ends up being militarized, ends up being privatized. so there's no public spaces where people can come together and engage in critical reflection. it's simply banks derive simply pull arrives, and the result is what you're read me increasing beer and 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, my, 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 or slavery. and jim crow and jamie, so in other forms of domination. so a lot of my hunch is they certainly will eliminate permanent 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 these people, not just individuals, for people across the board have ways in which they getting access to resources and vigorously, so we'd simply have to shift the strategies that my brother supreme court, the lead conservative d b, right, waiting for the most part. as you look at the campaign, it'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 it said your voice is going to be heard. you're going to be out there critiquing. but how, what is your national strategy? politically? yes, 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 in to someone who understands what you're doing? well, 1st though, you know, the political disclose that 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 that 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 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, mexico us implant went blow 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 water pressure do premium above this. this is but understand that nato historically and is today a arm of u. s. global power. and therefore, it is in no way neutral. it is in no way to be trusted in terms of tell. ringback 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 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. it's fascinating to me. that bills was on the one hand, supposed to be committed to democracy, are so interested in excluding a 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 all it relates to imperial on policy. so that it shows, in fact, that our political release, the amount of interest in democracy in any substantive way, a democratic role boss. conversation about our status just as and the vision for a better future. not at all they've got to make and isn't the censorship. they've got making is of exclusion and the say i'm 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 looked like went up to my beloved wife. i said, 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, the, the bull, back of all the military troops in too many places is going to be one in which wall street and pentagon and silicon valley leaves will begin to tremble because will pass the light on their organized re, not in the spirit of a live g lives in the temple and i don't know jesus, jesus, an example, ran out the money change was not because he had a derench. he hated green and miss,

and i'm glad is about patriot. another person of green age with an injustice that will be the spirit of a 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 splitter can present it as of today 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 leader should stand for and try to accomplish. the selection was already bound to be interesting. but with dr. cornell, west and the race is going to be someone with a national megaphone shaming system that has little concern for those living in poverty who have been victims of mass incarceration, no matter who the democratic and republican nominates 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 july jersey thing goes to the post office, the local election, sort of shift to the right click the country with this another year routine followed by government. 11 piece meets the indian women breaking down gender barriers as they fight to become champion features the coast african need is from across the continent as well. so seeks to strengthen relations with the region. people in power focuses on somalia as a fight for survival. as years of drafton hom conflict have combined to create humanitarian disaster as to security becomes increasing global concern. the united nations launch is a report examining food crises and sound good around the world. to live on a jersey to how do states control information?
