US presidential candidate Cornel West: 'Biden is a war criminal' | The Bottom Line
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
- American voters feel “impotent and hopeless” as they approach an election where the main choices are a “neo-fascist Pied Piper” (Donald Trump) or “the war criminals of the Democratic Party”, argues independent presidential candidate Cornel West.
West, one of the United States’s pre-eminent philosophers and justice activists, tells host Steve Clemons that President Joe Biden is enabling Israeli genocide and that Israel cannot be secure if “precious Jewish security and safety is predicated on the domination of precious Palestinians”.
West argues that recent talk of a two-state solution is “subterfuge - a refusal to deal with the 700,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank”.

Americans must show that genocide is not tolerated.
AND NO?USA LOVE ISRAHELLS!
How when they're supply weapons to Israel? Americans are brainwashed to the core
Lol. 1% maybe
Why? America was built on genocide.
amertcans must stop aiding GENOCIDE
I haven't voted in the last 12 years because I'm sick of the lies from both parties. If Dr. West runs for the office, I would vote.
He is running. An independent candidate.
He is running. If you want to vote for him you can but he likely won’t be on your ballot so you’d have to write his name
Me tooo. At least he'll get the matching funds . It's Ralph Nadar all over again.
@edwardmitchell....Wow! No wonder you people are sterotyped. I am on another continent and I know he is running. So when you say "if..." the man himself even said it in this interview.
Finally American voters have a third choice apart of the mad Donkey and and Elephants: Cornel West.
I never registered to vote because I had no trust at any candidates of these two parties to deliver justice to American citizens and the world. But now I will register and will vote with my whole family and friends for Dr. Cornel West. Thank you Dr. West, most Americans are with you, do not back up. My request to all Americans, please spread Dr. West words to every corner of America, this way we can elect him as a dignified president of the United State of America without these corrupt corporates money. We don't need big money to elect our president, we need awareness.
Thanks to the host to giving Mr West the space to expressing himself without rebutting him every minute.
Americans have an opportunity to vote for this candidate who is not controlled by the Israeli lobby.
They will still vote for democrats or republicans and then complain about their government.
Unfortunately that is why he won't get elected.
Each vote matters even if you feel it's a minority.
The good thing about america is that there is transparency and nationwide campaigns where you can choose a leader who you think is right to serve your country.
Last year, in New Zealand, a majority of the population gave up on voting because there was mistrust in our government.
Although I'm glad a new leader is in charge. Change is good for the better.
No we don't. He probably won't even make the ballot. I'm voting "Ceasefire". I want to send a clear message. This is about the only reason I'm not voting Biden, but it's a dealbreaker.
AIPAC is already funding his opponents to the tune of millions.
I wish they would let him debate Trump and Biden
They would never, this man is truth
Cornell West an Educated Idiot !
Unfortunately, Trump would destroy him. I say unfortunately because he is obviously way better than Trump, but he still falls for the Dems game too often and Trump would completely expose that. By the end of the debate, Trump would have Dr. West calling Joe Biden his very good friend.
Facts@@brandoncerquedo3365
He shamed them all by speaking the simple truth.
In all my life, never have I heard a candidate I believed, until now. you have a HIGH level of empathy. I will pray for you Dr. West.
As a long time Democrat, I can no longer cast my vote for Biden.
Look into RFK
Me too.
As a registered Democrat voter I want Biden out asap no more Democratic party
ME TOO!!!
Me 2
Ditto. I’ll be voting for MW in the Primary.
Agree. Justice for 🇵🇸!
I’m voting for Mr west 💪🏾
We're really tired of the lies... I would vote for Cornel West.. Pay attention.
Based on what administrative competence? Anyone can sing a song. This guy will open the borders, destroy the economy with reparations, tax working people into destitution, and all the rest.
lkara don’t worry he’s not going to be president of a zionist occupied government like the usa anytime soon.
@@LKaramazov administration is done by people selected. But the person selecting should have common sense and humanity. He got that and tons more, compared to the idiots we have been putting in office for a long time now.
Are you singing now. How do you know he would open up the borders to everyone the borders are open to people if they apply to enter correctly. Are you saying he would scrap all that and let people come and go as they please because that's madness from you then. Explain it to everyone pls sing away
@@LKaramazov this mentality got this country where it is today.
This man seems to be on the right track. I'm already thinking of voting for him. I want to hear more about him. No presidential candidate should ever be censored in America or relentlessly attacked for wanting to do what's right for our country, ever! He makes many points clearly understood. Finally someone who speaks truth for all! We were all born the same way, and die the same way, in a sense. My only concern is that if he can be bought, bribed or forced to change to suit the elitists who are only after money and power. I'm going to watch this man, I like him already, even though it's my first time seeing him. His body language seems to reveal deep interest and concern.
Yessir I believe in you and I appreciate you for standing up for Americans
Arab Americans you now know who to vote for.
It won’t be Biden that’s for sure.
I'm writing in "ceasefire" if they even bother to have a primary for Biden. I'll vote West in the general.
@@andrew_owens7680good idea, I think I'll do the same.
I am an African American and will join my Arab American brothers in voting for Dr. West.
Maximum respect to Cornel West, this is the MAN to vote.
Cornell West an Educated Idiot !
Finally American voters have a third choice apart of the mad Donkey and and Elephants: Cornel West.
It's such a breath of fresh air to listen to someone who has such a strong intellectual background with an understanding of Middle East politics and with experience for decades in academia.
It seems like he is at his all-time best in terms of maturity, experience and wisdom. Our country would thrive if Dr. West became president. I certainly would vote for him and I like what he said about the mainstream media spin about how his name on the ballot would make a Trump presidency more likely. He certainly understands what's really going on and the amount of propaganda that drives our decisions! He is SHARP!
You have my vote dr. West. Your words moved me. Thank you for standing up for what is right and good. Let the party of love and peace exist already!!!
I'm not American but Dr. Cornel is the sense that this world needs
Agreed
Unfortunately my country will never let a Black American (Descendant of American Emancipation) hold the seat as the President.
-Black American
Me too.
👍
And he will tell you to vote for Biden later on. Don't be fooled by this con man.
Please Americans vote Dr West in.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Not even the homeless people who look like him will vote for him 😂
@@mentesinquietas9712 also note, America is not THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. What's your point?
@@shanb6699So that means you won't vote for him either. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mentesinquietas9712 also, people should know THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a corporation and not a country. 😁👍🍉
@@mentesinquietas9712 U.S. code; Title 28 - section 300 2-15a: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a corporation. It makes no mention of a map and is law.
Cornel West is the true voice of reason and humanity!!
Agree
What an honest man. and brave man
Cornel is!! He tells like it is 100%!!
He fears no man, no group of
people, no organization, no politicians,
no country, no corporations, no retaliation,
no nothing.
Miracle
I am not a US citizen, but this is the first presidential candidate where I can say that if I were a US citizen, I would definitely vote for him in the next election. I have never encountered his Christian philosophical vision and the resulting statements in any other presidential candidate. May the Almighty richly bless Mr. Cornel West AMEN🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Me too! I would vote for him🎉
@@valentinadivina2229 I don't think there is better choise right now.
I hope the american voters will use their common sense and their hearts to chose who to vote for in the coming elections.
Amen & Amen!
Good thing you’re not an American citizen!! No, just because someone makes you feel better, doesn’t mean they’re actually going to do a good job. This guy was born with a silver spoon and he only represents the rich. Maybe need to do more research before making an ignorant comment.
Wish we had more people that think like you here. Too many ignorant sheep here unfortunately.
"I am running to be the Leader of the American Empire so that I can dismantle it!"

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cornell West an Educated Idiot !
Cold.
And HE WON’T he’s a grifter and he’s lying to people and selling delusional lies
@@dawnp.6839 Nah. One thing about Cornel West is that his message has never changed. Whether he was running for president or simply lecturing. He's definitely not a grifter.
@@CoolPapaCash Hes a grifter he knows he NOT gonna win and he’s collecting money and pretending like he has a chance. He is delusional and so are the people who think its smart to vote for him. We will have Trump back in office and if you think Gaza is bad now wait until Trump has his way
Mr. Cornell West is truly a remarkable man who is sensitive enough to understand the fundamental problem in America and the world 🌎. Thank you sir for sharing your thoughts and ideas 💡. Awesome análisis. God have mercy 🙏
"the condition of truth is to allow suffering to speak!" 👏🏾
Dr. Cornel West 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Living prolific figure in Black history. Much respect for him.
Cornel West is the BEST! He speaks truth to power
You really must be a Chinese or Iranian bot lol
Speaking truth to power leaves us with the truth and them with the power. Once we realize this it's time to contest for power. Power is not interested in the trruth, it's ears are closed.
We must simply speak the truth to whomever will listen.
@@dragonwest5844what are you smoking. This makes no sense. Because he speaks the truth to power he is fit for office!
@@fan2hd277 People in power are not interested in the truth. They have an agenda. Their ears are closed. We must overthrow the people in power rather than speaking the truth to them (it's waste of time and energy).
You can speak the truth to the oppressed, their ears are far more likely to be open.
@@dragonwest5844WTF are you saying?!? Please explain?
Two weeks later, even more true!😢
I just re-registered to vote for Dr. Cornel West in California. I could NOT be happier!
I’ll be voting for him in Illinois. This guy is the real deal. It’s called integrity.
Every peace loving Americans need to vote for DR. Cornel west let’s do this
i will
Me too
Cornell West an Educated Idiot !
PLEASE vote for him. Please.
@@jaycee30865 absolutely 💯
I would vote for Cornell West for the next President of the United States of America 🎉 It is about time for America to have a strong and intelligent leader.
As american citizen I do not want Biden or Trump. We need a different talent in The White House
But even a clock is right twice a day
Cornell West an Educated Idiot !
Sounds good, except for the word "would". 😂
Amen
Julian will be free. We will have truth out! Dear Dr. West! We need your books, your moral wisdom. Tell it! We are taking notes. Keep the titles coming. We need your beautiful depth. Thank you. "Look at the Dignity." Indeed. More than a philosopher. A Prophet of reality. Bless this man. Make way. Change is coming.
Yes please! Free assange!!
Vote humanitarian ! time for change .
That was a wonderful talk. Cornel got my vote within the first 10 minutes.
The only American politician who is not tone deaf
Jill Stein, running from the Green Party, has been criticizing Biden long before West found the courage to.
Cornell West an Educated Idiot !
"Justice is what love looks like in public". Best definition of justice I've heard since....can't remember.
It's MLK
@@kb4640 Nice one. Thanks.
He comes from a time where his ancestors were deeply in tune with the Spirit of the Earth, a land that belonged to all living creatures. What is witnessed now is the complete departure from that freedom of Spirit and Spiritual values. What we have in Cornnel is a return to those lost values, it resonates with all who identifies with those who would love to see a return to those spiritual values. It would require a person like Mr West to restore it. I would vote for him.
I. hear, in his voice the same strong conviction as Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Mohamed Ali etc.
My brother is correct. I have not voted in years. Dr West has my vote on lock.
I dont vote either
I am so done with dishonest politicians. First-time time listener, He has my Vote!
Spread the word! 😎🤗
Cornell West an Educated Idiot !
Finally American voters have a third choice apart of the mad Donkey and and Elephants: Cornel West.
I have no idea what West is trying to do. The lectures and talk mean nothing. Vote for what?
YT prompting me about how do I think about your comments, some people can't handle the truth.
I am a Muslim but will vote for you in the blink of an eye,cooperate will others presidential candidates and join forces,who share your views, maybe if you win the Muslim world would back you and a free American government,no need for wars or paying for isreal so called defending the middle East. Sir you and the likes of you and good honest righteous Americans can definitely take the world to a better correct peaceful planet
I would to
Congratulations to you for your wonderful and enlightening speech I have always been impressed by you. Many people have been afraid to call a spade a spade.
It is obvious that America has lost its way and I feel certain that you will be the one to bring back some integrity respect and morality to America
Please please please vote for him over Trump, Biden etc. America needs a total reset of its moral compass.
I like Biden better.
@@lordvader3425LMAOOOOO
@@lordvader3425 You’re sounding 💯 brainwashed & delusional !
@khadzak7496 no, he doesn't read quran.
You’re right! We do need a total reset so vote Biden OUT and also DO NOT vote for Trump! Biden gets over 4 million a year from AIPAC. We cannot vote for any candidates bought by AIPAC. Dismantle it by voting against the corrupt politicians we are consistently presented with.
I’m not American but I wish this man can become President. His words of wisdom conquer both Sleepy Joe and Trump put together.
It’s genocide joe* (not sleepy Joe anymore)
Yes Sir, thank you for standing up for humanity
Cornell West an Educated Idiot !
You must be rooting for the downfall of the United States
Hands down!! 100 times over!
Thank you Dr. West
Just after you were born, no matter how bad the circumstances, a person, or people, gave you some measure of loving kindness, some amount of compassion. If not, you would not be alive now. That was your introduction to life, the implicit knowledge that loving kindness and compassionate understanding are indispensable for human life to exist.
The foundation of human life, therefore, is loving kindness and compassionate understanding.
As we age we are taught otherwise by damaged people. 💔
Their misdirection is rarely intentional. They are simply sick due to their own early learning experiences/trauma.
Once this is understood, we can seek help to dismantle the wrong thinking that we were taught and insert, through daily practice, right thinking, and thereby right actions.
The teacher that I have learned from is Thich Nhat Hahn, and the practitioners that learned from him before me.

No more warmongers for president.
There isn't a warmonger now. Deterrence and proportional responses are not warmongering.
Amen.
@@timchamberlin9280
Proxies killed americans, so they got bombed without attacking Iran directly. Doesn't it sound proportional to you?
We need the leaders we had back during the Cold War years all of our leaders since the end of the Cold War have been weak,ineffective,incompetent, naive and afraid of escalation
@@stephendmccormickjr8200It's time for you to wake up and learn your History. The mess the world is in is partly thanks to your so-called leaders during the cold war.

Total respect for this man
He is an fighther for justice and freedom Palestine and the Islam
Respect to him. Until he becomes us president and dose the sane things ok then, hahahaha
I will vote for any candidate with humanity at this point.
That’s where I am. I don’t care if it’s not the popular candidate. I just, in good conscience, go with the popular vote and choose the lesser of two evils when they are equally as evil. I changed my affiliation to Independent the other day.
Ask him how he solved the illegal immigration problem. 😂
@@noecadavona1862 how?
Go Cornel West! Best wishes from Latin America.
Thids man speaks the truth!! I pray for his protection!❤
Dr. West's message seems to be a "no-brainer". Yet millions and millions seem unable to acknowledge the truths he speaks about. THAT is very unsettling.
Unsettling indeed! This is the power of propaganda since birth, it takes some serious strength to look at this empire system, see it for what it is, and deconstruct. Not everyone is strong enough unfortunately but there is an awakening taking place! There is hope!
Wellcome to the human race!!!!!

@@AmazingA88877 his rhetoric definitely raises spirits, alarm and aspirations.

No he really dont deserve that
@lordvader3425 You deserve to have war criminal Biden or scamming/criminal/seccessionist Trump🤡🤡🤡
Wow, just wow! Dr. Cornel West has my vote 100%! Great pointing out and explaining that only a one state solution is viable for peace and dignity for Palestinians, one state in which Palestinians have equal human and civil rights. Dr. West also did a great job of pointing to how Israel is acting like an empire with the impunity of saying what they want and doing what they want without any accountability. Thank you Dr. West and AlJazeera!
Israel only gets to act like an empire because of American backing and support.
Well done Sir, you will get my vote

Genocide is not self-defense!!! Perpetrators often claim that genocide victims presented a serious threat, justifying their actions by stating it was legitimate self-defense of a nation or state. According to modern international criminal law, there can be no excuse for genocide.
Geronimo, a Native American of the Apache tribe, and 40 of his fellows, were violently attacking settlers and they were seen as an existential threat. It took 10,000 troops almost a year to chase them down. Bin Laden's codename was "Geronimo".

Dr. West, I pray that you will succeed in your presidential run. The US needs someone like you- not a businessman, not a career politician, but someone of moral conviction. I know empires come and go consistently throughout history. Most Americans do not. I think it is time to accept the US needs to take the backseat -or at least the middle- and rethink our morality and what kind of world we are willing to leave our children and grandchildren. Wealth and racism should not be the answers. Integrity, respect, and moral conviction for all of humanity; that is what we should be intent on leaving. NO MORE LOBBIES, and YES for term limits for all politicians! Deepest respect for you from FL.
Biden to destroy his family dignity and to put shame to his future grandchildren for generations to come is something i can't get it.
Bless Dr. West. American's conscience and only moral candidate for US. Presidency...Professor West you have my vote!
