#BreakfastClub - Zábava
May we appreciate our elders while they are here. Thank you Elder West.
I have watched these over bearded lunatics drag their nasty beards through food they were about to eat. Eh...
It was gag inducing.
People aren’t ready for this conversation. People are stuck in the box of these two parties.😏
It's not that. Unfortunately the two party system is just what is in the majority doesn't mean that people don't support Dr. West or any third party candidate. There isn't enough support for them. The party system is what is ruining the country and people should be running as individuals rather than for a party. Jmo.
I'll vote third party until i die and hopefully once all the old generations are gone younger ppl can make america into a three party system so that we can actually make some change happen in this country instead of just relegating ourselves to "the lesser of two evils" every 4 yrs in every election..
I wonder do some people forget what county we live in?
@@TheDutchVegaShownah fr. These old heads got to go bro😂😂 we should have been had a 3 party system. I mean if possible i would rather just not have parties all together. Just complete individual.
I agree
Dr Cornel West is the embodiment of intelligence and intellect. He is ALWAYS consistent in his ideologies and beliefs.
He's consistent alright
He’s amazing! 👏
Yeah but can he translate the words into running a government. Remember, we tried words before. If he gets in office what’s not to say he won’t get swallowed up by the bureaucracy as Obama did?
We had the professor president. The question is can he run a government?
@@can72287 That's why we ALL need to be involved in running the government. We can't expect one person to do all that alone.
@Breakfast Club can you please put 2024 election hashtag and create video snippets of this? It would really help grass roots black organizations spread this positive message around. Thank you for the interview!
THIS THIS THIS THIS!! AS ALWAYS BREAKFAST CLUB doing a disservice.
We need to get them on the main stage for the debate. Literally like where’s the petition
Bingo ❤❤❤
👏👏👏
This was love at its highest and excellence. Thank you Breakfast Club for hosting these two magnificent visionaries. We got to support our own and make a statement once and for all. It’s a new day in America. Ricardo’s Authenticity Rating for this podcast is 10 out of 10. We are now a people that means business and we stand for justice and integrity uncompromising in doing so. Good job guys.
I just found a reason to vote.
ditto
He's a clown.
@@user-td1me4tv3uexplain
Just vote for Donald Trump
He didn’t put out any plans for how he will run the government tho. He’s not interested in running a government imo.
Dr. West is on my Mount Rushmore of leaders. Ome of the most important men in America today and certainly in Black America today.
Da wise can play dumb but the foolish can never be wise.
Wrong.
A wise man can STILL learn from a fool.
Even a broken clock is correct TWICE a day..
@@yDrewyit’s just a remix of the original quote
@@yDrewyno offense but learning something from a fool does not make a fool wise. Again no offense.
@@albread no offense taken bro. It’s ok to have a lively debate. 😃
I’m all for different opinions…
The wise never misspell “the”. Try again.
Both of them together you gave em 30 minutes. I don’t wanna see another hour long RFK interview.
THIS THIS THIS THIS!!
they announced on Tavis Smiley radio show. they got a whole hour along with other interviews individually. search youtube
This man really just running on straight blackness alone. I don't know man...but I fux with it✊🏿
How he running on black when he singing kumbaya with arabs jews latinos and everybody else ?
Maybe because there were black Arabs, black Jews, and black Latinos? Maybe because there is no aspect of human civilization that has not been influenced by black people?
You probably got a white wife/husband
As he should because they vote too and he WILL NEED THEIR VOTE! The important thing is that Black people are CENTERED.
@@LPAFilm What do you mean by centered?
Thank you for bringing Dr West back again. It is nice meeting his VP choice. He would be the best President this country ever had if he is elected. ❤️
Nah, he talks good but he doesn't have an actual plan to implement what he wants.
He may have a plan but Congress and the Senate has to go along with his plan.
What will happen is he will not be able to get most of his plan passed and a lot of our people will say he didn’t do ish just like some of them say about President Obama.
But it’s ironic that white supremacy tried to destroy the image of the 1st black president but couldn’t, but then came Tavis Smiley and professor Cornell West with their bus tour around the country and they succeeded in destroying the image of the 1st black president Mr Barack Obama.
I would still support Professor West but I do think that their actions aided and abetted white supremacy because they did destroy the image of our 1st black president in the minds of a segment of our people and it’s a shame.
We needed black unity when Obama was in office because white supremacy was out to destroy him.
@@Teebxvyep and I’m not gonna Waste my Vote on Him. Because He’s Not Going to Win any Electoral College or Even One State. Why waste Your Vote On a Candidate that Will not Win.
I love Dr. West. He is so sweet and compassionate at all times. And it is cool we have similar tastes in music, too!
He's a race hustler.
This type of integrity, morality and spirituality is exactly what the world needs!!
I would love to sit in a room with Cornell West, Michael Eric Dyson, Nina Turner, Angela Rye & Neil Degrasee Tyson just talking about everything from Politics, The Black Experience, Music & Space... every time I hear one of them speak is so much knowledge, so much confidence and them being exactly themselves. Black Brilliance.
Same 😎😎😎
Nina Turner?!
Imma put Tezlyn, killa Mike, and Rizza on my wish list too.
I don’t know that Drs Dyson and West on the same panel would be as beneficial as we want it to be. Both brilliant contributors to the culture, but when it comes to each other their past issues were so disappointing.
@@Justme12369Killa Mike 😂
Good people doing the work! Nothing but respect.
Lets Go!!! Dr Cornel West one my favorite people to listen to
Everything he is saying is commonsense, and people making it seem like something extreme.
Cornel West is a narcissist! He knows the stakes will be deadly if Trump gets back in office. Black, brown ppl, women and Muslims will be back pre-civil rights. But, he needs attention! He is tragically helping to ensure a Trump win!
Morning! WAKE THAT MIND UP! Thanks for sharing this conversation with Dr. Cornel West, I understand and appreciate his views along with his running mate. At the end of the day, we must vote for the party that has shown and is speaking in favor of policies that will help Black and Brown people.
Am i the only one that couldnt wait to watch this to see how well Affion Crockett impersonation of Dr. West was lol
As Latino man I’m always inspired and enjoy listen to this man!
Wish us as brown people we had someone like this!💪
U a Nigga like us that can swim
Yes ofc
AOC 🤡
I understand. And, I know Dr. West stands with all of us. A truly compassionate and inclusive leader.
You have West. He is brown.
I remember when the good brother, Dr Cornell West,first announced that he would be running for office on this show. #WhereHaveYouBeen???
The same people attacking Dr. West also deny that Israel is committing genocide.
West-Abdullah 2024
there is no genocide occurring. Hamas doesn't want a a war, they shouldn't have attacked
@@godfathaofyo ok Zionist. Don’t cry to us next time it happens.
@@AnthonyJPiccione Sure, he shouldn't cry. But you also can't whine if israel levels gaza.
Reparations for FBA'S is all we're trying to hear
@@KingQuake-fy8tn Free stuff!!! go make your own $
Asking him if he's being blackballed while giving him a 30-minute interview is wild.
He got fired from Harvard for having an opinion
2nd cornel west interview where y’all forgot to put the “election 2024” tag on the thumbnail that you gave Nicky and RFK
THIS!! WTF IS GOING ON!?!?
Because he's an afterthought
I heart wants breakfast club to support folks on the right this season.
CZcams poopie!
Dr. West is indeed a voice in the wilderness. A badly needed voice. Blessings to him and his running mate.
Exactly Style & Soul we got that ❤️🖤💚
This was very impressive 👏🏾
It's always an amazing experience and interview when Dr west stops by and graces us with his knowledge and passion for what's right and what's black 🎉🙌🙏💯
It's not necessarily about winning, it's about keeping our voice heard fighting for community economic improvement and legislation bigotry.
I love this interview was fire 🔥 love this
I saw Dr. Cornell West at Pomona College with Myrlie Evers in 2018. Truly impressed. Amen.
Bringing back this guy for this interview is authentic!! Keep up the great work
I'd be so proud to say Dr. West is the President of the United States. Gotta build up the campaign! #thatsmypresident #west2024 #cornellwest2024 #nomore2partysystem
Cornell and his VP both would be dead before the inauguration -maybe even on election night. Black gangsters would be allowed to put a hit out on him and secret service would coordinate it to scape goat black street gangs. A cointel pro oldie but goodie intra-racial hit!
My point is, from the local thug on a corner to the hidden royalty that truly run this world -ALL benefit from the destructing and degradation of people that call themselves “black/African Americans”.
He won't be president. He's old and he has no blue print for his plan. He talks very compassionate with all the love and shit but really there's no substance behind it. Reparations (not happening), abolish of poverty, unhousing, etc. It's easy to say you're going to do it but you never hear them say how they're going to implement it. It's just campaign promises aka politician talk.
Dr Cornel West won’t be president.
Sorry to say..he won’t be president..
Great man but I need to hear policy sir. This is for presidency not a college debate .
I totally agree. That was lacking in this discussion.
Go read about it. Its not popular candidates talk policy in short interviews.
Definitely need him in the white house not these other fools
I adore Dr Cornel West - thank you BC for having him on. Dr West is one of the few left who really deeply cares about humanity. He has such integrity and so much humility. A scholar and a truth seeker, a poet, a lover of peace with the most amazing knowledge and taste in music. I love him and he truly is a gift to us all💜
14:39 I'm glad somebody finally being real about Biden 💯
I love hearing this man speak!!!..It’s an Honor!❤️💪🏽💯
Listening to this at work has me geeked! I truly wish that this team can get it done. My concer is that I have not heard a peep about the campaign on the ground here in AZ
Haven’t heard about it in California either… right, where is the campaigning team ?
I love hearing the TRUTH . ALL POWER TO WE THE PEOPLE .❤
I would vote for you.
I pray it's not to late.
You are going to have to write them in because, unfortunately, he's not going to be on the ticket.
Too late for what?
@@LPAFilm For him to have a chance. He has no chance.
Write him in the ballot
That's what I'm doing
These are the candidates our community should get behind.
Just peeped the Webbie painting on the wall! 🙌🏾😂😂
I enjoyed this interview. I pray that as I age, I'm as wise and worthy to spread knowledge with the same passion as my ancestors.
Powerful duo. Make sure you vote correctly 👍🏿😎👍🏿
Thank you for bringing him on!
Even if he wins, Congress will not work with him at all. But still, keep your head up Doc!
THEN IT WILL BE UP TO US TO MAKE THEM WORK WITH HIM. PRIMARIES CAN BE ABUNDANT! So can EXECUTIVE ORDERS! PLAY WITH IT!
Dr. West would have an amazing cabinet though!
He won't win he has no chance at all whatsoever he's a race hustler.
He won't win and you know that.
@@summersalt123 He's a clown.
I love Dr West - Unfortunately people like him are never allowed to run the establishment - but he has my vote!
I wish I could vote but i'ma immigrant green card permanent resident. But I will definitely get behind you guys
You can still donate
Got my vote!!
Dr. Cornel West is the best of the best! He is the brightest light in these bleak times. His encouragement & dedication will get us through. He has my support.
Love this
This is such an important conversation. I respect Dr. West and Dr. Molina for what they are accomplishing. They want votes but winning is not the necessary goal. Politics has become a money ball event which is great to cease power but not very efficient to choose the best candidate. What they are demonstrating is what a true candidate should be like. Lies tend to get votes But what happens after? a platform should inform and by example they are showing us what a voter should look for, asking and request for the common good. I wish it were the time we could vote for such deep and In depth candidates in the final, for with public support they could change the state of this nation. Well, if it is not to be, let it be that what these two great minds have set us on a path of enlightened government knowledge. This knowledge to be used on the local level that the people can make change for humans all and not corporations and dark money.
When 2 black people constantly mentioning Gaza but no mention of DR Congo nor South Sudan. 🤦🏾
How about that. Yeah and she is Muslim hmmm I have questions
Damned good point
all about what's popular
Honestly as American we need to worry bout our country not others that’s their problems.
@@gregoryharvey3250 we are American by Nationality, that's it we are not respected nor treated of this country, this is not OUR country this is just were we born.
I can't watch this without thinking about the Affion Crockett episode 😂
😂😂
Bro. Cornel Got My Vote
Love this brother! Always keeping it real!!!
I hate that he’s the black man that them folks will never let get close to the White House because he really stands up for black people!🤔
But his wife is white
How does he stand up for Black people?
@ReneeR877 and so is Kamala husband
@@ReneeR877who he sleeps with won’t make you nut! Wise up child!
He’ll be worse than Biden. I wouldn’t want his shit anyway near the White House
Good conversation
I agree with Charla... haves vs have-nots is inevitable but it won't be the only factions against each other
i agree with what they've said. I think they need to reach the educated working class with strategy, policies and numbers. They already have MY vote.
Dr. WEST is BEST!!!
Yo, that’s Dr. Melina Abdullah. Put some respeck on her name, same as you did for Dr. West.
I love Dr. West but I wanted to hear specific policies details and how you will get them passed a dysfunctional congress. Sounds like they are selling a dream but faith w/o works…
Well, America, you have the 3rd option, and they are def best if you want things to change fundamentally.
As much as I love Dr. West he will not be winning the presidency. Unfortunately for us the two popular parties are what is in control of this country.Dr. West is only polling at 1% of the vote. If we do away with the party system then people like Dr. West would be able to win these elections. I feel its more important to determine what kind of country we need to have than to voting for only one issue. The democracy is what is important. We only have 2 choices and we need to make our voices heard.
Drop the The video. 😆
This man got wisdom! Very impressive🙏🏽
Dr. West admire your legacy, Americans rejected you before for the Presidential Run and will do the same in 2024.
With your mindset it will
what is he even running for? town council?
Dr Cornel West won’t be president.
Tell us you're a two party establishment tap dancing black face without telling us that you're a two party establishment tap dancing black face. Bye Uncle Ruckus!
That handshake 🫱🏾🫲🏽 at the end was smooth AF! 🖤
What compliment is this in regards to Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson and the many others who pave way for the effort
I’ve been hearing the same narrative about America and black ppl for over 20 years.
Dr. West is one of those rare people who can help you see Black History, see the structures of systemic oppression in current society, and still help you imagine a future all in one sentence. The way he speaks in this way that bends time and shows the thread of justice throughout is extraordinary.
Melina what happened to that $90,000,000 that Black Lives Matter took?
That’s also what I’m thinking this whole time!!!
Hypocritical much?
@@songmayo9051 And these casa negros are hypnotized by these race hustlers! No questions about anything that actually matters and no pushback whatsoever!
everytime i see Dr Cornell west, i want to see Dr Cornell East Dormtainment 🤣😂
Why do these people never run for state office? They just jump to president before we see what they can do.
Good point
@usertim21 thank you. Because it's easy to run for National candidacy than your local government. People pay more attention.
Agree
Nina Turner did exactly that. There are people out there. Just because you are unaware or ignorant doesn't mean it's not happening.
Did Trump?
Given his running mate choice, it's obvious Cornel West, like the other candidates, isn't serious about running for POTUS. West is going to drop out soon and ask his supporters to get behind Jim Crow Joe.
He won't
Unfortunately you are correct... If he's on the ballot he might get my vote but let's be honest here... Even if he got every black vote, he won't win. I highly doubt there are enough white votes that are willing to center black issues. True or not that will be the perception of him and his VP
We should try
Facts. Plus she has a history of saying a lot of racist shit about white people. Idk what he was thinking
@@jetla22 i thought you couldn't be racist against white people
I particularly like how Malena talks about how DEI is really just a front as she says "Some you can come in" but what about everyone else it's a lie that makes the people feel good about themselves and that is a conversation that has been had more than once people need to wake up to this and like the doctor here sees the truth but I understand that's not always easy so good we have people around like Dr. Cornel and ms.Abdullah
Finally someone making me have hope. I wasn’t planning on voting maybe I will now
Dont forget about the indigenous people of this land!
They hav forgotten are we ever mention . All these dummies know is DNA which means information doesn’t tell you who you are hate eats some people up . Black definition is darkness and death .
That came over from Siberia and slaughtered each other for ce turies
Nobody cares bro plus native tribes owned African slaves
One can simplify the entire Trump discussion with this key point: Trump based his campaign on the idea of imprisoning numerous individuals. He vocally expressed his desire to imprison Obama, Hillary (“Lock her up!”), Pelosi, AOC, the Central Park Five, and many others. Therefore, while it may be argued that Trump is facing prosecution for actions that others commonly engage in, this argument is immaterial. The essential truth is that some individuals do face legal consequences for their wrongdoings, and Trump exemplifies the type of person who should be held accountable by the justice system.
No black leader endorse Trump. They mince words and discuss how bad Biden is but like the host of this show they will not vote for him. More blacks are public about that fact.
💯
I really enjoyed this conversation, there’s so much that I agreed with. I believe the key is for people to organize along class lines rather than race. That was happening in 2013 with the Occupy Wall-street movement. That was such a threat to the elite that they suddenly had to turn up the rhetoric on race and create a distraction and preserve their safety.
As much as I agree with Dr West and Mrs Abdullah I believe we are still a long way off from breaking the stranglehold the 2 parties have on the political system today. It’s a great goal to get rid of the duopoly but It’s realistically not going to happen in the next 8 months. I think the best thing that Black people can do in striving to reach that goal is to start by breaking the strangle hold of the democrat party on Black people. What’s unique about this upcoming election is that we know what a Trump presidency looks like and what a Biden presidency looks like and to me Trump looks better by a long shot. We heard all the fear-mongering before and he did a better job in 4 years while under constant attack from establishment Democrats and Republicans who worked everyday to undermine his presidency. If we as a people aren’t able to divorce the democrats and show the world that we are fluid in our support we’ll continue to be taken advantage of period.
Good quality love it Doc
This is my candidate. Period.
it would really be great if these types of third party candidates took the time to explain how they're going to convince congress, people who pass the actual legislation needed, to get the work they want done. modern leftists have been squashed on a federal level, much better with localized issues or case by case basis. i don't understand this presidency run as anything other than a spoiler candidate in the face a white christian nationalist running.
Agreed!
spoiler candidate implies that VOTES ARE ALREADY OWNED....and that's not the case in a so called democracy. Stop it, and do better.
"Ask Melina about that $5000 she stole from Lisa Simpson after her son was killed by LAPD, then she went on IG live and implied that Ms. Simpson and Tamir Rice's mother was the feds."
😮
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮what!!!!!
They have my vote 🗳
The VP candidate, who is a teacher and gets paid for teaching, stated, “Education should be free.” No one asked her if she would teach for free?
She would get paid the same way we pay our K-12 teachers, policing, firemen, etc.. taxes especially if she teaches at a public university
Really didn't think that question through
@@f58534she gets paid more than K-12 teachers, because people pay tuition. So would she be willing to take less money? And that still isn’t free. How is k-12 public school working out for Black people? Most Black families who care don’t send their kids to the neighborhood public school. My question stands, we already spend more on education than police, fire and that is with tuition helping subsidize salaries at the college level.
Haven’t made up my mind for November yet but this made me so hopeful and happy!
Vote for Trump..
@@fcherry4026 Nah...he's the same as Biden and answers to Wall Street and corporations. He just says stuff you like to hear to get your vote. Grifter at its finest. I'm voting either green, PSL, or Cornel West
Good to see Dr. West
Elder West is gold....we honor him always
There's no fucking way they let this man on the debate stage with the other 2
I always have to play some Curtis Mayfield after listening to Dr West.🎹🎶🎵🎼👨🏾🎤
As a black person, I love to hear these conversations. However, for a duo running for president this is too black for the masses. Even if all black people ran to the polls, it would not be enough to win. Black candidates will have to put on their “representative”. What they will do for us as a people will have to be said away from the media, and kind of underground.. the black church was that place, don’t know what it would be today. Anyway, just my opinion 🤷🏾♀️
I think it’s about threatening the left with siphoning off votes. To make them pay attention to certain issues that he supports.
As an 18 year old white person i don't see any better option for presidency. The notion of "too black for the masses" indicates that appealing to the racist majority is anything that is really wanted to appeal to
Dr.West can continue to educate our youth and all youth .
Real talk!
THEY CAN TRY THAT 1800 HISTORY REPEAT IF THEY WANT TO...???🤔🤨😑💯🗣🤝🏿
Wisdom
He got my vote
Damn Cornell, throughing it down. But hey, Charlemagne don't ask these hard questions to nobody else 🤔🤔
I love donating to politicians especially if they’re rich.
😂😂😂😂😂
