May we appreciate our elders while they are here. Thank you Elder West.

People aren’t ready for this conversation. People are stuck in the box of these two parties.😏

@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!

Dr Cornel West is the embodiment of intelligence and intellect. He is ALWAYS consistent in his ideologies and beliefs.

I just found a reason to vote.

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.

Both of them together you gave em 30 minutes. I don’t wanna see another hour long RFK interview.

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.

This type of integrity, morality and spirituality is exactly what the world needs!!

This man really just running on straight blackness alone. I don't know man...but I fux with it✊🏿

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.

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. ❤️

I love Dr. West. He is so sweet and compassionate at all times. And it is cool we have similar tastes in music, too!

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.

Lets Go!!! Dr Cornel West one my favorite people to listen to

Good people doing the work! Nothing but respect.

Am i the only one that couldnt wait to watch this to see how well Affion Crockett impersonation of Dr. West was lol

Dr. West is indeed a voice in the wilderness. A badly needed voice. Blessings to him and his running mate.

We need to get them on the main stage for the debate. Literally like where’s the petition

Asking him if he's being blackballed while giving him a 30-minute interview is wild.

As Latino man I’m always inspired and enjoy listen to this man! Wish us as brown people we had someone like this!💪

I remember when the good brother, Dr Cornell West,first announced that he would be running for office on this show. #WhereHaveYouBeen???

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 🎉🙌🙏💯

I saw Dr. Cornell West at Pomona College with Myrlie Evers in 2018. Truly impressed. Amen.

This was very impressive 👏🏾

Exactly Style & Soul we got that ❤️🖤💚

2nd cornel west interview where y’all forgot to put the “election 2024” tag on the thumbnail that you gave Nicky and RFK

14:39 I'm glad somebody finally being real about Biden 💯

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💜

Great man but I need to hear policy sir. This is for presidency not a college debate .

These are the candidates our community should get behind.

I love this interview was fire 🔥 love this

The same people attacking Dr. West also deny that Israel is committing genocide. West-Abdullah 2024

Bringing back this guy for this interview is authentic!! Keep up the great work

It's not necessarily about winning, it's about keeping our voice heard fighting for community economic improvement and legislation bigotry.

I love hearing the TRUTH . ALL POWER TO WE THE PEOPLE .❤

I love hearing this man speak!!!..It’s an Honor!❤️💪🏽💯

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.

Powerful duo. Make sure you vote correctly 👍🏿😎👍🏿

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

Just peeped the Webbie painting on the wall! 🙌🏾😂😂

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.

I would vote for you. I pray it's not to late.

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.

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

Definitely need him in the white house not these other fools

Got my vote!!

Thank you for bringing him on!

I agree with Charla... haves vs have-nots is inevitable but it won't be the only factions against each other

I love Dr West - Unfortunately people like him are never allowed to run the establishment - but he has my vote!

Bro. Cornel Got My Vote

That handshake 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 at the end was smooth AF! 🖤

I can't watch this without thinking about the Affion Crockett episode 😂

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.

Even if he wins, Congress will not work with him at all. But still, keep your head up Doc!

Love this

I wish I could vote but i'ma immigrant green card permanent resident. But I will definitely get behind you guys

Dont forget about the indigenous people of this land!

Good conversation

What compliment is this in regards to Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson and the many others who pave way for the effort

This man got wisdom! Very impressive🙏🏽

Love this brother! Always keeping it real!!!

❤this great black leader! From Dr.Tyrone of Chester PA.

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

Dr.West can continue to educate our youth and all youth .

Well, America, you have the 3rd option, and they are def best if you want things to change fundamentally.

Haven’t made up my mind for November yet but this made me so hopeful and happy!

Good to see Dr. West

Dr. West picked the perfect pick for VP let's get behind these two to make America what it should be.

I was reminded by someone's comment that if Dr. West backs out of the race, I'm not going to vote for Biden or Trump. No more voting for the lessor evils. 😢

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…

Thank you Dr. West

Yo, that’s Dr. Melina Abdullah. Put some respeck on her name, same as you did for Dr. West.

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.

I always have to play some Curtis Mayfield after listening to Dr West.🎹🎶🎵🎼👨🏾‍🎤

🔥💪🏾💪🏾 THIS WHO WE NEED TO GET BEHIND PEOPLE

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!🤔

Real talk!

I love donating to politicians especially if they’re rich.

I’ve always wondered why TBC never talked about Dr.West presidential run more

Go, Dr. Cornell West!! 👏🏾👏🏾

I love Dr. Cornel West! He’s a great philosopher! 👨‍🏫

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.

There's no fucking way they let this man on the debate stage with the other 2

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.

I'll be writing my ballot in for Dr. West

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.

He has my vote I’m a independent black man but he has my interest and motivation to 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?

Wisdom

When 2 black people constantly mentioning Gaza but no mention of DR Congo nor South Sudan. 🤦🏾

Salute to brother M. Free that man 💯

She from where I’m from taught by RDN in Berkeley high school. We had the only Black history Department in the nation. 💪🏿

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.

We don’t give our people enough support to give them a real chance. This interview was like if Darnell Rawlings came through to chill, only 30 minutes!?! Might be the shortest interview for any candidate ever

Lets GO but da system is so criminal but I believe inL🖤🙏E & da power of Black folks

I respect Dr. West, appreciate his life’s work, the enrichment he gives in his conversations, the love and knowledge he gives and shares with our black people…. But why has he only married outside of his race, he seems like he’s over compensating for him not attracted to his own black women. To me, the hair, black vernacular and the country talk is all a coverup . Why not fight the negative stereotypes black women face, since so many of our black men openly disrespect black women, and say we aren’t their type. At the end of the day the black woman is the mother of earth, and these black men’s mothers. Show some respect, a lot of them had to single-handedly raise these black kids, for the same reason the black father wasn’t there. We all know the reasons by now. Accept Her black diaspora just like we accept the black Man’s diaspora.
