Had no idea West had thrown his hat into the ring... BRAVO 🎉...this will be interesting, much love Mr West
Nice to see the brother keeping it real on the Zionist influence and question.
The Veil has been lifted...Knowledge Is Powerful!!! This is the time of Truth & Information!!!!Thankyou!!thankyou!!thankyou!!!
It's what you do with the knowledge that's powerful. Knowing is great....but action must follow.
Now this is what I am talking about, someone who is Competent and who has compassion for the people. HE HAS MY VOTE
Mine as well ❤
Count me in
Everytime I listen to Dr. West I learn so much! I consider it part of my "continuing education"
Me too I’d like having a class without paying for it, I love it!!!
Fired up about your Land Back talk. That's where to live. Thanks for holding space for Presidential candidate Cornel West. No one connects the dots so succinctly.
He pulled out that word IDOLATRY - whoa, yes, truth
Not only do we have idolatry for the dollar but also, in the USA, for guns. It's gross
Always good to go to church w Dr West. Nice to meet Red Nation
Thank you Mr West for being a great humanitarian..
Thank you Mr. Nick and Dr. Cornel for this conversation
Thank you Red Nation for sharing important First Nation conversations. I learn so much through your work. Dr West is legend.
This is the absolute best discussion that I've heard coming from Cornel West. I have been listening to Dr. West all across the internet and some discussions were rambling and not pointed and accessible to many people. This was. This is exactly why I intend to vote for Dr. West. While I do not agree with some of his analysis concerning Russia and China, his moral and intellectual prowess are overwhelming and I must acknowledge how much better he is as a potential leader than anything on offer by the two major parties. I'm not worried that a vote for West might be construed as a vote for Trump. It isn't. It's a vote for honesty, for equality, for vision and for change. I cannot throw away what might become the very last free vote on a lesser of two evils like Biden. If I intend to fight for freedom, for democracy and for people like me then I have to stand up for principle. It's West for me if he's on the ballot and I will write his name in if he's not.
Put it on a shirt and I'll buy it 😂🙌🏾
I love interviewers who step aside and let their guest speak without breaking their train of thought, so we get the full effect of their wisdom.
Very interesting content.
47:34
Say THAT again LOUDER!!
Some people only see commodity when they see earth and all that is on and in it.
It’s a humbling thing, to still have Dr.West as a president. It’s our only hope and I hope it comes to fruition. 🔥 A revolution is needed
ALWAYS appreciate the conversations between Red Nation and Dr West. The truth is present.We are at a great turning.... Can the West team get together to put together a platform where he goes around and gets his message out and actually implement policies that will hold the US accountable for the genocide and slavery by the US and provide spaces for the healing of the trauma inter-generationally. It's aHUGE thing.
It's the move we need to actually change this political experiment for the better.
So grateful to view and hear this discussion. Much respect.❤
It is very important to have the Americas indigenous platform.❤❤❤
Thank you Nick and Cornel for your insights on our current situation nationwide and worldwide.
the Land Back part at the end of this interview is well said and great question for Dr West. Thanks Nick!
🌱 Beautiful Interview 🙏🍊🍃
We LOVE YOU Brother West, you’re 🌝
So pleased that WE Can See, that the New Son is Rising in The WEST 🙌
There are still many people, some I know that have no idea of what's going on in Gaza, Palestine! Mostly because our media, newspapers, radio and television won't tell any details of what's going on, only a few words, nothing else.
Because mainstream media is:
M ultiple
S treams
M anure
Settler-Colonialism caused a brutal Civil War in my native country of Liberia 🇱🇷 and destroyed not only the country but also the consciousness of our people for generations to come. Thanks for this conversation 💕💕
What haven't white race destroy or plunder ?
Were you referring to the settlement of former Black slaves from America that were being colonizers?
Lol 😂 @peaceevol you said it lol 😂.
@@Beauty4Ashes578No, he didn't. You both are simply ignorant. Liberia was inhabited by indigenous people who were forcefully displace and driven from their homes by the same imperial power and bankrupt logic that Dr West is talking about.
@@DictumMeumPactum It's incredible how many Afrikans are unaware of the history of their condition which brings light to how Afrika remains colonized today.
Thank you for this great dialogue. I thought it one of the best interviews with Dr. West to date and my hat's off to you Nick for not only making it happen but the contribution of your own wisdom and to Dr. West's campaign of Truth Telling.
Wish we have someone like Dr. West running in Canada❤
"Palestine is freeing us".
Powerful.
And very true.
Amen

People of any Color is 🌝 - And WE should be Voting for Our Brother created by GOD The Father of ALL
You’re a racist @@CLM2204
🤣🤣 how’s that working out? So no more crying
Thank-you so much for this conversation. I just love the beautiful exchange that always takes place when you have Cornel on with you. I also want to thank you for spending time talking about LandBack. As a white settler on Treaty 1 territory, here in so-called Canada, I find this to be a consistent 'roadblock' in conversation, and I often struggle to find ways in which to further engage people, and help them to understand it beyond the white settler lens. This was really helpful. Much gratitude.
Dr West.. I could listen to this man's wisdom all day. Love, truth, justice, humility, learning and the fight for noble virtues, I am always inspired when Dr West speaks and crucially, is allowed to speak.. Great interview. Get behind the bother people of the US!
I would love to take some classes from this man✊🏿🧑🏿🎓
Learned a lot, thanks Red Nation.
Always keep working for the future, the next generations ... and the good deeds that heal and bring joy to the soul. Peace
Right
Thanks for holding discussions that open critical thinking and allows for better ways of guiding our practice
What a great content and interview. Thank you.
Brother here describing landback in such a beautiful way I support you 110% Decolonize! Land back!
I'm still waiting for the Palestinian news reporters to have an informative news forum in America.... I want to hear their side told by their people 🤷🏽♀️💋
Interesting discussion. I'm wondering if Brother West has investigated the pro-Israel loyalty oaths that half American states REQUIRE of their state contractors??? Glenn Greenwald wrote of this in a 2018 article on Palestinian-American speech pathologist Bahia Amawi. She, understandably, refused to sign and the Austin, Texas school district fired her. Why do American states REQUIRE American citizens/businesses to sign loyalty oaths to a FOREIGN apartheid state🤔??? How does THAT support the freedom/democracy of Americans???
I swear under oath that i will always support the palestinian cause and be against zionist extremism and the israeli state being in the middle east. Thats my oath.
(look closer at my pfp)
Dang! I live in Austin! I didn't know we did that!!!
Because Isra'el is a Zionist government like ours was run by fascists after WWII up into the last Bush was in office. We're still struggling to wrestle ourselves from their insanity. The nefarious games they played, and covert machinations in USA, Inc and around the world, is slowly coming into the light and people are beginning to see who the real and True problem is. It's none of us who are rendered powerless by systems of 'wyt' soopremaC and colonialism. Soon, as the majority of European descended people start awakening from the American Dreaming, it will completely collapse and fall into the abyss it sprang from. Asè and Ha Ho!
-------------
From my view it seems that the powers that be
used 9 11 to start the decline of our
Democracy. I've seen a study erosion of our rights since then,
from both the Republicans and Democrats... The Republicans are rewriting history the
Democrats are corrupting the culture and our values. It's hard to make a distinction.
They are 2 wings on the same bird both
dismantling our Democracy and blaming the other..
What say you?
Classic case of the tail wagging the dog!
It's good to see a candidate have a conversation with grassroots groups and not be talked down 👇 to from a bought sell out.
Powerful dialog comrades!. I signed up to volunteer in your campaign here in WA. Excited to get you in the white house. SOLIDARITY
Break IT Down Hon. Dr. West so everybody knows the covert injustices. We are just another people surviving injustices, too.❤
Your talk is the future! Very close. Thank you.
Dr. West, you have my vote from Alaska!!
I like the knowledge of Cornell West when it come to American history. The original draft of the Constitution stated that it would protect private property (you know whose private property) and to look after the interests of the wealthy landowners and slave holders. That did not go over well with the poorer landowners and Shays Rebellion happened in which the private armies of the wealthy beat them back. After the introduction of the Bill of Rights, most people were placated.
Private property rights (and the Gutenberg press) ended the Dark Ages of 1,000 Years, during which the Crown and the Pope owned all property and thought. You were born a serf and died a serf and if you resisted, you were killed along with your extended family. Everything you have today, great or small, comes from private property and free thought.
Was only after Mao's horrific reparations and land seizure genocides, that China turned back to private property and mercantilism and money and trade, that saved their nation. The Left will lead us from the frying pan of the usury banks, into the fire of open anarchy, and 100 examples, all the internecine slaughters throughout the last thousands of years.
I'm glad you explained the part about why you went Independent.✊🏿
Now we need to work towards getting you viral online so that people can get to know you... so that hopefully that will make it easier for you to gain ballot access!
great and needed conversation- speaking to the passion and intercity that is needed in the face on the lies and brutality of Empire, that denies humanity of so many peoples so they can more easily brutalize and exploit them- as Indigenous peoples everywhere know very well
Also let's not forget the role that Harvard played in the destruction and genocide of First Nation Peoples as well as their extensive complicity in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. Harvard was racist from its inception and continues racist blood still transits its veins. Moral bankruptcy is nothing new to this institution.
Thank you Dr. West for true!My respect!
Excellent discussion.
Great 👍👍👍 Excellent!! Thank you for this inspiring exchange of truth! ✊
The obsession with profit is indeed idolatry of the highest order.
The expansion of debauchery of how land and the people are displaced never ends
The Empire Strikes Back!
Important to hear Dr. West's rationale for his campaign.
Doc Estes…yet another incredible interview.
Man, he is really good 👍❤️
He is
Excellent talk 🎉
Great conversation. I wish everyone could hear it.
11:21 You nailed that one Dr. West. Natives do say that we know what all of this is about. We've lived it.
Excellent Dr West...um, future Mr. President!
Powerful question at the end. Nothing is sacred to capitalism and big profit.
Exactly! My brother graduated from Harvard and they would not allow him to use his Native Heritage. Harvard was built on Native Land and so was Yale and most of the other so called "Elite' Universities!
'Bright flows the river of God through the dark night of the soul' and we have Cornell West to remind us when we're looking the other way
Wow... Dr. West lays it out, simple and easy to understand and lets you see what this present administration is carrying out present day. We love you Dr. West
Tell the truth and shame the Devil. YesYes and you have my VOTE.
Kia ora, Thanks for doing this, it is the exact type of interview I wanted to see with Cornel. I appreciated the bits I've seen of him over the years. All American Presidential hopefuls need to prioritise Tribal Sovereignty and reconfiguring institutions around a healthy system. Massive bribes will confront them anyway. Without a plan in this direction it is hard to believe even the most educated viewpoints. I didn't realise he was a Christian - that's a big red flag - the naughty red. He still seems the most promising but more ought to be demanded. The Colonial Elites appear to entertain hitting the world war button.
I am a white New Zealander of English, Scottish and Irish descent and I love Dr West as a brother speaking light where there is darkness; inspired by the holy spirit and serving Jesus Christ. Thank you Red Nation for this video.
oh how many countries have been "conquered" in the "service to Christ"....
You're just a victim.
Fuck Jesus
Salute to Nick! Land back !🩷☮️👍
Peace and Love to all the Tribal people of the Earth. We need MOOR unity
Dr. West is a s good if not a better candidate for the president for the people. He definitely could get my vote.
Excellent food for thought
What brilliant minds. Thank you ❤
Great interview!
Growing up a Catholic and in a time when liberation theology was more popular than today, I recognize the importance of soul in resisting the dehumanizing nature of modern day life and the systems of alienation we try to exist in. Nonetheless, I view the Abrahamic religions as part of the problem. These three main religions fit themselves very well to conquest and genocide. There is all this nonsense about chosen people and promised lands in the scriptures. And then there is the idea that your god is the true god and the rest of the world needs converting to your vision, because they're heathens. Personally, now, I feel spiritual only with nature as the god-ness. I guess being among rocks and plants and animals comes close to what people feel in a church, mosque or synagogue The land is sustenace for my body and mind. There is no duopoly of mind and matter and Nature is not about one dominating another or being better than another, it is about balance.
Right on, Mr. West! Knowledge is Power! I love your intelligence.
Excellent work all round💚💚💚
Great, honest, spiritual, mind-expanding interview!
I vote for Dr. West!! - what a great new just world THAT election would usher!!!
Dr.West you are the answer to This world that need leadership not more genocides and wars greed wall street etc.vote for this man all poor ppl votes can make him pres.send in a few dollars support DR.West
Powerful expression of your moral and spiritual convictions, something that is lacking among the political elites in this country and the world. You got my vote!
Nobody is talking about Harvard's $50,000,000,000.00 endowment, which makes Harvard University the wealthiest university in the World! This is the main reason why the people giving Harvard all of that endowment money doesn't want Black people attending Harvard University, or Harvard having a Black female President as its executive, period, yo, word!
You are wrong. For this issue , and in the case of Claudine Gray, It’s not a black thing, it’s a pro zionist, anti Palestinian thing/anti Muslim thing
Multiple things can be true 🙏🏾
Despite antisemitism being a primarily European ideology others keep getting pinned with the title.
Many have legitimate questions about Jewish history and identity as well as an opinion on the claim to Israel. There seems to be no room for the discussion.
Respect to this man! #FREE Palestine and grant them justice my Lord in this world before the next 🤲🏾YaAllah
Ameen ✊🏾
Great Analysis. AntiSemitism and AntiPalestinism MUST BE STOPPED.
Palestinians are Semetic sooo yup
Would have loved to hear the important point Cornel West was trying to make (37:28-38:05) that was somehow omitted about African-American U.S. Representatives Linda Thomas-Greenfield and Robert A. Wood voting *_AGAINST_* the ceasefire.
Good point. Will investigate.
Love you Prof Cornel West! Cornel west for President forever!🩷☮️👍👍👍
studied Cornel West in college in the 1990s, big supporter of Red Nation
Power to the Lakota people and all indiginous ppl that have and been repsressed
Grant peace to the ancestors and power to the descendants who fight in their name. ✊🏾
Power to the indigenous
* These were one most briliant esplanation , from MR. Doctor Cornnel West about the Current situation in curse at Gaze's Strip.
* Struggles connecting peoples under STRUGGLING issues on Whole World , making the chain of Solidarity become Strongest.
Watching you from South Africa. The Jews (not Zionists) had Moses, the South Africans had Mandela, America has Dr West. Thank you Dr. Speaking truth to power.
Can I just say I appreciate the comment but we would also say Huey p Newton, Malcolm X, Martin Luther, Mumia, Kawasi balagoon etc....
Are in that league.
If you don't know them try looking them up, interesting lives.
Cornel is an elder but ancestor status is different. His legacy has yet to be passed on. 🙏🏾
@@user-jv8kr4im1t That I do not name these powerful individuals as well, does not mean that they are lesser or that I don't acknowledge the roles they played, as well as a myriad of others. Dr West is here and now, picking at the consciousness of Americans.
Facts we want the real thing the 1st step to healing
Thank you so much for this conversation. I found the audio version. The indigenous perspective (and our youngest people) are the only hope we have. I invite the consideration that colonialism is not only ~400 years old but devastated the indigenous European tribes since Constantine. They had 1000 years of practice suppressing earth-centered cultures before spreading out to more distant lands. All the same techniques--they just got better at it
Piggybacking but by destroying those practices it seems like "they" got less creative and now only have one ancient @$$ playbook "they" use everywhere.
Capitalism and W.S are so tied that "they" aren't all European just powerful and conniving/rich enough to convince a majority of the poor.
8:30 Sorry but what are protecting Jewish students from exactly? Ideas? Isn't that the very mission of a university - to introduce ideas regardless of comfort?
" The Empire Is Melting "
INDEED❗
A champion of the common man Dr Cornel 😂
I second the endorsement of Nick's book. It is a very good read. Nick is an amazing intellectual and the book is well written.
What is Nick's book and his last name?
@@TinaKrauz Nick Estes and his book is "Our History is the Future"
sorry for typo I meant" integrity", not intercity!
It's sure is nice to see that Dr.west have not compromised and he still standing on the word of God 🙏🏽💯
Love this man. Pity I can't vote for him.
¹Awesome interview. Good journalism
Boy, the truth!!!
Indeed, we must use the Palestinians' struggle to make the connection to Aboriginal and Indigenous people's struggles *around the World.* We have a responsibility to stand up and *be of service* to others. Sacrifices must be made: stop consuming, live on less and stop playing the Divide and Conquer Game. It's time to awaken from the Western (American) colonial Dreaming and grow up.
-----------
I choose an alternative to the status quo. Good to see a turning to the people. Move forward.
I always enjoy listening to Dr. West, a true independent mind of intellect. In the end, however, I prefer capitalism over socialism. Why, because it best reflects human nature. Capitalism is best when tempered by rules allowing those slower in the quest of greed to have decent lives. India, China,, the Soviet Union have all tried socialism with disastrous results because it puts power in the hands of a few good at political organization which results in dictatorship. Capitalism is more like perpetual revolution with power fractured allowing new ideas to flourish. In summary, a lot of socialist in USA live lives of plenty due to capitalism.
WE'RE BECOMING AWAKE 👀!
Truth
Dr. West has my vote hands down 💯👍🏾🫶🏾🕊️
