- Whether it’s joining Columbia students to protest Gaza or calling for the redistribution of wealth, Democratic Socialist Dr. Cornel West has never been afraid to go against the establishment. And this year, he plans to do that in one of most controversial ways - by running as a third-party candidate.
In an exclusive interview for Mehdi Unfiltered, Dr. Cornel West reveals to Mehdi why he can’t support Biden’s neoliberalism over Trump’s facsism. He also explains to Mehdi that although he worries about a second Trump presidency, he is ultimately okay with the risk his candidacy poses.

“The biggest insult to the memory of the Holocaust is not denying it but using it as an excuse to commit genocide against the Palestinian people.”

So true. I grew up thinking how people fall so low and treat people like Nazi. Never in my dreams I thought I'll see in my life another set of Nazi like people.

Incredible man. ❤ The protesting at the universities in America reminds me of the 1976 Uprising of the youth in South Africa. Many youth/students were killed by the apartheid soldiers and police. We never gave up.

How can you look at trump and Biden and not think that Dr West is far superior.
He is. No question. The question is a third party candidate who is ok or better like him, electable and has ballot access. And getting behind that person.
America is hugely partisan. Most dont care about the candidates they just stick with red or blue. The voting system blocks all the rest
What are you talking about?
Trump is feared and reveered by so many, because he is an honourable man
@@JeshuaSon1980SATrump had the chance to prove to the world that he wasn't just another puppet of the establishment and his donors, he failed! Trump is no better than Biden, Obama, George W Bush, Clinton, George H W Bush and on and on.
We continue to bounce from Republican to Democrat and back each time hoping for results and each time we're disappointed. Time to break free of the 2 party strangle hold.
Brother West has to do MORE of these online. Many people have turned OFF mainstream and are HUNGRY for Dr. West!
Agreed. Brother West 2024, bought a shirt to support
True

IDIOSYNCRATIC no?
Delusional
Embarrassing could u imagine being a brain washed Zionist that thinks that their life is worth more than others 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Just like Bill Maher 😝
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU DAM RIGHT ABOUT THE LAND THEY BELIEVE STEALING ITS OK FROM POOR PEOPLE THEY DONT HAVE POWER TO FIGHT BACK
Cornel West has a great command over words. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Exactly what I was thinking
Netanyahu knows more than him
But Islam/Palestine oppresses women and queer people - can't everyone be free?
Dr Cornel West is not winning at all.
Cornell West is a disingenuous propagandist who advocates against freedom, democracy and civilization itself.
We have to stop this genocide and save our nation's soul.
Lobbyists are destroying your country.
Dr west... A brother from another mother.. As always... on the right side of the truth, justice and love.
SALUTE AMERICAN STUDENTS WHO ARE RAISING THEIR VOICES AGAINST GENOCIDE, OCCUPATION, ETHNIC CLEANSING AND INJUSTICE.
I’m love Cornel West’s message! He’s brilliant!!
I agree
Sure, but that doesn't make him a realist choice for your vote.
@@acebaker3623 He could be a great President, head and shoulders over Biden and Trump
Jill Stein has a better chance
@@acebaker3623he definitely does!!! If every person voted with their conscience and not for where the wave is going, he can absolutely win!!
Thank you, Mehdi, for inviting Mr.West.
Dr. West.
And then grilling him on trump, so disrespectful
Mehdi sounded like a complete corporate tool in this, saying all the talking points about "Jill Stein" etc, when it's been proven beyond any doubt that Jill Stein is not what lost Hilary the presidency in 2016. Honestly very disappointed with him, he might as well have stayed on msnbc. I thought he was supposed to be something fresh and here he is saying exactly what corporate media would say.
@@john.premosehe is doing his job bringing points that are really mainstream and outhere
@@john.premose Might have something to do with the fact he is one.
As a jazz violinist I always appreciate Cornel’s nods to jazz and also to its greatest musicians.
You have my vote Dr. Cornell West.
He’s not winning
He’s a fraud
@@theomegaman218 He’s also a clown.
@@theomegaman218 How's he a fraud?
Everyone in America vote for this amazing man. 👏
Uhh no.
And he still wouldn't be able to get anything done because he wouldn't have a Senate or Congress. Didn't you hear the first question Mendhi asked?
I am!
He is only on 5 state ballots. Jill Stein will be getting the state ballots to win .... and notice they afraid of her and keep her off corporate media.
If she truly is not significant.. then why is blamed for "spoling" elections?
I will.
I"m 100% voting for Dr. West.
Then you are throwing your vote away
@@acebaker3623 maybe he is voting for his soul, can’t blame anyone. I get what you are saying but most of us are just tired of the two degrees of evil.
Spread the word! Unfortunately I can’t vote.
Jill Stein will actually have the ballot access on the side of peace, Palestine and the planet.
Sadly Dr. West will cave for Biden.
@@acebaker3623how is that throwing your vote away? There’s more than those democrats and republican parties. That’s the problem American think they have to choose blue or red.
Wow , the world needs many like him
Many.
Love you, Dr West. Thank you Medhi for hosting. You're a good man.
Thanks, Mehdi, for giving my candidate a platform and the opportunity to make his case while asking him the hard questions. 🙏🏽
Am i the only one so excited to see Zeteo growing so fast.❤
you're not the only one!
No. You are a part of a mass.
It's fascinating to see that 😊
You are not alone.
Hassan & West, both are compromised by giant ego's & their need for validation & funds from their cushy positions, in a decadent system they willingly serve.
Their first loyalty is to the organ grinder, not the paying Public.
Dr. West is the best candidate for real democracy in the US.
He won’t win
They don't come bigger than this , a bounce back with one of the biggest names out there , I salute you both !!!
Cornell West always spitting facts and spreading love
I have never voted but since Cornel West will be a candidate for presidency I will 💯 vote…go West
Okay let's make that a goal. Me too, first time i will vote in November.
That's one of his points, he's not so much poaching voters from Biden but mobilizing new voters.
Important: This is a Palestine issue not just a Gaza issue. This is wonderful! thank you so much for interviewing Doctor West. He is so refreshing
I am voiting for Dr West! #FREEPALESTINE
Letting an interview unfoldig the right way seems weird … Mainstream media killed it but Zeteo and other independent media recreate it !!! Thank you !
All the respect for you and your Dr. Cornel West
Thank you Mehdi. I really needed to listen to Mr. West .
He is truly someone with spiritual sanity that can be trusted in my opinion.
I highly respect Brother West
"Hamas were created and funded by Israel"
- Israeli Brig General Yitzhak Segev
Netanyahu has a quote himself.
PROFESSIONAL CON ARTISTS, EVIL
Israel is funded by the US
Mind Begs the Question:
- If a Govt stage WMD Hoax
- Govt can't stage Terrorist Attack
- To manufacture justification,consent
- For Ethnic Cleansing,Total Occupation?
The wanted to use hamas to divide Palestinians but now am sure they are regretting that decision.
Stay blessed Mehdi. At least there is someone having courage to stand up and tell the truth to the world exposing Israeli genocide in Gaza. ❤
There are plenty of others you just need to find them Owen Jones is great too.
I luv my brother, Dr. West, but my hat's off to any journalist that can get him to scale back his poetic retort. Mehdi is what journalism has been devoid of for far too long. Zeteo is the place to be for true journalism to thrive. 🎉
For a very long time I did not see an honest man around US media
Cornel West is an inspiration and example of what a person with ethics, values, and most of all humanity that we should all hope to learn from
You're kidding, right? Cornel West owes over half a million dollars in unpaid taxes and child support. He doesn't want to pay the money he owes to take care of his child, I wonder if he is even in the child's life at all, and he supports government programs to help the poor but he doesn't want to pay his share of taxes to help pay for those programs. The guy is a hypocrite and a POS.
I hope for a world where what he hopes for people are not challenged or questioned.
His use of the word "precious" is precious.
In an ideal world Cornell would be president of the "free world". But we're not in an ideal world.
You have to BELIEVE!
I'm just blown away at all the ideas Cornell West so casually thtows around! Can you imagine how wonderful it would be for everyone he was president!!!
Don't even have to watch this to "like' it, but I'm about to of course. Dang man, another top guest!

Only presidential candidate with the intelligence and compassion we need
DR. WEST ,YOU HAVE INSIGHT AND HUMANITY
"The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine"
- Ilan Pappe
The worldly cleansing of Christians by Islamic devils
"Albert Einstein Letter to the New York Times"
About 3/4 the way through this currently. What is going on now makes so much more sense knowing it's the continuation of a 77 year long ongoing ethnic cleansing/genocide.
The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi is next on my list.
Mind Begs the Question:
- If policies of Starvation,Death Camps,Gas Chambers/White Phosphorus,Pogroms,Ethnic Cleansing,etc are repeated
- Doesn't amount to Holocaust?
The martyrdom of Jewish people
My entire family is going to vote for him in November
We appreciate Zeteo for hosting a man with integrity and bravery and humanity. Dr West has my vote God bless you brother.
Wow! Mr Cornel West has imprisoned me in his cage of HOPE. I just love the guy and the way he talks.thank you for this interview Mehdi.
Love Dr West.
1776 - Independence from England tyranny
2024 - Independence from AIPAC tyranny
These two men are truly exemplary for their courage in speaking truth to power.
We need a leader that isn’t greedy.
He won’t be president.
nor negligent nor stupid nor someone who cannot take responsibility for a kill or many, honestly
Dr west great personality I hope Everyone should support him.thank you Mahdi bring Him to show ❤
Can't wait to Vote for him
Cornel West is able to learn the lessons from history that no US politicians can do.
He got my vote
BOOOOOOOOO!!!!
"Hamas are an asset"
- Benjamin Netanyahu
Until they don't do what you want
@nicolaablett7790 you think oct 7th wasnt EXACTLY what Netenyahu wanted????
Only a naive person would think that's not what he wanted. Of course he wanted that he had to keep his promises he made to the super far-right group he aligned with to win the election
If they were no hamas, he wouldn’t get any money. In order for him to beg some money from USA, he has to find an excuse 😂😂😂.
NETANYAHU KNEW ABOUT THE ATTACK
Great to see this zateo !
Man I hope this takes off, Mehdi. People need to hear this discourse
I agree it is brilliant ...and I am just an Irish person listening and Loving Cornel...He is WOW
Great person !!!! Much respect for this great human being
WOW!!!! what an awesome interview!!! Bring in on Mehdi.....awesome close by Cornel 😊
Wasn't that amazing? How he defended his tradition and inspiration.
Stellar session, guys, THANK YOU!
So happy for Medhi Hassan and his new Zeteo Program. Keep up the good freedom of reporting and speech.
I agree with brother West. If were American, I’d vote for him all day, every day!
Got my vote 👍
I wish I was living in the US, he would have my vote and I would be lobbying to everyone I know to vote him!
I'll vote for him with no hesitation.
Best of luck to Dr Cornel West !
Cornel West is amazing 👏👍
Finally, a decent interview with Dr West!! The lack of positive/constructive media coverage on the left, has been truly disappointing
Thank you so much for the great interview with Mr West.
Cornel West has been blessed with eloquence... wow!
I love this gentleman! I'd vote him if l was in US. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Me too ✋
Free the World from Hamas!
@@JeshuaSon1980SA free the world from Nazi israh8ll
@JusticeforAll1980SA you would have fought with the redcoats, dont even lie about it
@@benjaminhenderson5025 red coats? Elaborate
Let’s vote for Dr West!
What a great discussion! I didn't want it to end
Bless Cornell West ❤
This guy is too good to be a politician. Politics and integrity do not go together. Imagine the US of A having an intelligent, articulate humane president… that will never be!
You have my sincere prayers Dr Cornel West.
He was not a politician but a professor and an activist and a thinker. I appreciate this man over the common beer drinking companion types that US public always goes for!
Mehdi ur on fire. Amazing effort with zeteo
Why didn't you ask him why he took all that money from Harlan Crow? How does that make him any different than Clarence Thomas? Yes, he gave it back, but only after so many people complained. And he was furious about it, he raved about what a good friend Harlan Crow is. Also, he says rich people should pay more taxes. I agree with that, but he doesn't. When he was pulling in millions, he refused to pay his taxes. He owed hundreds of thousands in back taxes.
How i wish to have a candidate like this in my country
Mehdi Hassan stands out for his fearless approach, unafraid to ask direct and uncomfortable questions, a rarity in today's journalism landscape.
THANK MAHDI FOR BRINGING MR WEST ON YOUR CHANAL
A treasure to our current society
Thanks Mehdi clearly on the right path
Dr. West standing on business!
Basically the same questions we would hear on any mainstream outlet.
Bravo to you both . Wise words. Thank you Mehdi
Good job mehdi
Its been done before. Equal rights for everyone..... South Africa. 1 State
Love that style of interview. Even with such a great deal of matching opinions there are hard questions, challenges, follow-ups. And all that with the right amount of respect.
A role model of the kind of politics coverage humanity needs more of.
If Dr. West is on my ballot, he will have my vote.
Not Winning he’s a troll.
Dr. West is so warm.
respect to Dr West
Asked good questions 👍🏽
If I was an American, I’d vote for you. A truthful, sane person. Great goals.
Cornel West is such a wonderful fellow 🤩🤩
Free free palestine ❤
Dr West is very reason able and he speaks the truth.
There are no answers. We’ve been painted into a corner.
I will vote for you Dr.West the world needs people like you
Great show!
Mr. West is the best solution for America, finally someone true and honest, away with the lies, lobbying and dividing, please more content with mr. West! Greetings from Holland.
