Hey it s Jordan ░░░░░░░░ to be joined by ░░░░░░░░ Cornell West independent uh ░░░░░░░░ for president has been ░░░░░░░░ hell in Chicago this ░░░░░░░░ outside the DNC uh ░░░░░░░░ had some people approach ░░░░░░░░ too which we ll ░░░░░░░░ to but uh I ░░░░░░░░ to start uh to ░░░░░░░░ the biggest uh issue ░░░░░░░░ now is what is ░░░░░░░░ hidden inside the DNC ░░░░░░░░ we know there was ░░░░░░░░ sit in last night ░░░░░░░░ by Palestinian Americans members ░░░░░░░░ the uncommitted movement uh ░░░░░░░░ they have basically been ░░░░░░░░ out uh they are ░░░░░░░░ being uh allowed to ░░░░░░░░ a speaker on uh ░░░░░░░░ main stage we know ░░░░░░░░ uh a family of ░░░░░░░░ Israeli hostage uh spoke ░░░░░░░░ stage but that same ░░░░░░░░ that same um opportunity ░░░░░░░░ speak was not uh ░░░░░░░░ by the DNC or ░░░░░░░░ Harris campaign to uh ░░░░░░░░ Palestinian American a doctor ░░░░░░░░ has seen the disaster ░░░░░░░░ death in uh Gaza ░░░░░░░░ the uncommitted movement uh ░░░░░░░░ Ilhan Omar uh came ░░░░░░░░ uh let s show ░░░░░░░░ real Applause Music quick ░░░░░░░░ congresswoman elhan Omar uh ░░░░░░░░ out to uh the ░░░░░░░░ protesters uh congresswoman Summer ░░░░░░░░ came out uh to ░░░░░░░░ protesters sitting in AOC ░░░░░░░░ I think it is ░░░░░░░░ important for us to ░░░░░░░░ this message of of ░░░░░░░░ humanity and that the ░░░░░░░░ isn t that large ░░░░░░░░ s not it s ░░░░░░░░ to emphasize that this ░░░░░░░░ not uh uh even ░░░░░░░░ in any way an ░░░░░░░░ thing to ask for ░░░░░░░░ s a basic thing ░░░░░░░░ ask for I I ░░░░░░░░ t know why she ░░░░░░░░ times rather than be ░░░░░░░░ but that s a ░░░░░░░░ story but can you ░░░░░░░░ about for a party ░░░░░░░░ about Freedom that s ░░░░░░░░ big theme uh they ░░░░░░░░ t seem to want ░░░░░░░░ give Palestinian voices any ░░░░░░░░ to just share stories ░░░░░░░░ make a case for ░░░░░░░░ immediate ceasefire well brother ░░░░░░░░ tell you though I ░░░░░░░░ you brother and uh ░░░░░░░░ want to push your ░░░░░░░░ at magnificent work on ░░░░░░░░ as a direct connection ░░░░░░░░ what you re writing ░░░░░░░░ INF flint and trying ░░░░░░░░ cover up the suffering ░░░░░░░░ in the United States ░░░░░░░░ t say a word ░░░░░░░░ cop City they won ░░░░░░░░ say a word about ░░░░░░░░ incarceration he won t ░░░░░░░░ a word about poverty ░░░░░░░░ of black and brown ░░░░░░░░ living in poverty in ░░░░░░░░ nation in the history ░░░░░░░░ the world Democratic Party ░░░░░░░░ revealing itself even in ░░░░░░░░ moment of frenzy as ░░░░░░░░ so hypocritical shut through ░░░░░░░░ so much mendacity that ░░░░░░░░ hiding criminality and the ░░░░░░░░ fact that you got ░░░░░░░░ genocide going on you ░░░░░░░░ over 14 000 Palestinian ░░░░░░░░ let alone innocent men ░░░░░░░░ women who have been ░░░░░░░░ and they act as ░░░░░░░░ that s normal and ░░░░░░░░ they act as if ░░░░░░░░ s business as usual ░░░░░░░░ is morally bankrupt my ░░░░░░░░ it really is and ░░░░░░░░ had to call it ░░░░░░░░ what it is and ░░░░░░░░ that and I don ░░░░░░░░ I don t I ░░░░░░░░ t know if you ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ you saw but some ░░░░░░░░ the delegates some of ░░░░░░░░ big party people as ░░░░░░░░ were walking out of ░░░░░░░░ convention uh they walked ░░░░░░░░ the protesters doing the ░░░░░░░░ in and they literally ░░░░░░░░ their ears and uh ░░░░░░░░ kind of kind of ░░░░░░░░ of disgust uh and ░░░░░░░░ walk right past them ░░░░░░░░ children your 13 years ░░░░░░░░ say it again say ░░░░░░░░ again mock them again ░░░░░░░░ the children again do ░░░░░░░░ again do it again ░░░░░░░░ Years oldf Hass years ░░░░░░░░ around and join the ░░░░░░░░ deleg in the protest ░░░░░░░░ s it reminds me ░░░░░░░░ some ways the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ in 1930s and 40s ░░░░░░░░ had these great Great ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t say a ░░░░░░░░ about Jim Crow wouldn ░░░░░░░░ say a word about ░░░░░░░░ ing the very suffering ░░░░░░░░ was taking place was ░░░░░░░░ very thing that they ░░░░░░░░ holding at arms length ░░░░░░░░ proceeding as if they ░░░░░░░░ on the road to ░░░░░░░░ and liberty and democracy ░░░░░░░░ that uh it just ░░░░░░░░ and more rips the ░░░░░░░░ off of what is ░░░░░░░░ is is operating in ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party which is ░░░░░░░░ organized greed and this ░░░░░░░░ in difference be they ░░░░░░░░ and sisters in Flint ░░░░░░░░ they on the south ░░░░░░░░ of Chicago who are ░░░░░░░░ be they precious Palestinians ░░░░░░░░ genocide we haven t ░░░░░░░░ got to Haiti and ░░░░░░░░ and Congo yet we ░░░░░░░░ t have time for ░░░░░░░░ global analysis here but ░░░░░░░░ it it s just ░░░░░░░░ to to to see ░░░░░░░░ human beings as well ░░░░░░░░ a an Imperial Empire ░░░░░░░░ uh undergoing such corrosion ░░░░░░░░ Corruption you can see ░░░░░░░░ rot at the very ░░░░░░░░ of it it s ░░░░░░░░ thing that Martin King ░░░░░░░░ about when he said ░░░░░░░░ was living in such ░░░░░░░░ sick society that talked ░░░░░░░░ how wonderful it s ░░░░░░░░ for dropping bombs on ░░░░░░░░ babies though brother and ░░░░░░░░ tell tell us about ░░░░░░░░ this week because uh ░░░░░░░░ reported yesterday that there ░░░░░░░░ some uh let s ░░░░░░░░ higher up folks in ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party that uh ░░░░░░░░ to have some conversations ░░░░░░░░ you uh specifically about ░░░░░░░░ you to drop out ░░░░░░░░ know uh by all ░░░░░░░░ RFK Jr uh is ░░░░░░░░ to drop out possibly ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump uh and ░░░░░░░░ uh there were people ░░░░░░░░ approached you uh asking ░░░░░░░░ to drop out uh ░░░░░░░░ were you know the ░░░░░░░░ that they made and ░░░░░░░░ response well I mean ░░░░░░░░ number of them reached ░░░░░░░░ just saying I need ░░░░░░░░ get on the bandwagon ░░░░░░░░ is a historic moment ░░░░░░░░ a black moment have ░░░░░░░░ black sister Asian sister ░░░░░░░░ to the head of ░░░░░░░░ of of of an ░░░░░░░░ undergoing deep spiritual Decay ░░░░░░░░ moreal moreal decadence and ░░░░░░░░ deterioration and uh and ░░░░░░░░ was some also some ░░░░░░░░ leaders have reached out ░░░░░░░░ are you sure that ░░░░░░░░ re building on the ░░░░░░░░ of Martin King and ░░░░░░░░ Rabbi hasel and at ░░░░░░░░ I and others and ░░░░░░░░ told him I said ░░░░░░░░ all just talking to ░░░░░░░░ wrong brother you can ░░░░░░░░ resources or position or ░░░░░░░░ have you that s ░░░░░░░░ s not what I ░░░░░░░░ all about this that ░░░░░░░░ not the game I ░░░░░░░░ that s not my ░░░░░░░░ of what I m ░░░░░░░░ for to Bear witness ░░░░░░░░ be a witness and ░░░░░░░░ to hold on to ░░░░░░░░ integrity and honesty because ░░░░░░░░ has happened though brother ░░░░░░░░ mean the the toxicity ░░░░░░░░ the party is so ░░░░░░░░ that we see The ░░░░░░░░ Glitz and the blitz ░░░░░░░░ at the center of ░░░░░░░░ is just money money ░░░░░░░░ status status status and ░░░░░░░░ fellow citizen living paycheck ░░░░░░░░ paycheck hardly any acknowledgement ░░░░░░░░ it wealth inequality relating ░░░░░░░░ acknowledging of police steal ░░░░░░░░ and murdering mass incarceration ░░░░░░░░ largest prison system in ░░░░░░░░ history of the modern ░░░░░░░░ can t say a ░░░░░░░░ about it homelessness especially ░░░░░░░░ Black Folk what we ░░░░░░░░ the population got 45 ░░░░░░░░ the homeless La it ░░░░░░░░ even worse La it ░░░░░░░░ even worse so so ░░░░░░░░ that level of social ░░░░░░░░ and suffering is is ░░░░░░░░ and concealed in the ░░░░░░░░ way again I keep ░░░░░░░░ back to Flint because ░░░░░░░░ in so many ways ░░░░░░░░ the microcosm of it ░░░░░░░░ people say well brother ░░░░░░░░ you re helping fascist ░░░░░░░░ West you re supporting ░░░░░░░░ please you don t ░░░░░░░░ fascism all of its ░░░░░░░░ and crimes with more ░░░░░░░░ and crimes and say ░░░░░░░░ m the better option ░░░░░░░░ sooner or later the ░░░░░░░░ will take over if ░░░░░░░░ don t get at ░░░░░░░░ roots of it in ░░░░░░░░ Party policies we know ░░░░░░░░ this neoliberal class Wars ░░░░░░░░ poor and working people ░░░░░░░░ people in situations where ░░░░░░░░ re more right to ░░░░░░░░ gangster fascist like Trump ░░░░░░░░ if you don t ░░░░░░░░ at their situation their ░░░░░░░░ their predicament and there ░░░░░░░░ no alternative to a ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party then fascism ░░░░░░░░ fascism will Triumph in ░░░░░░░░ end and U I ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ brother RF KJR is ░░░░░░░░ I mean good God ░░░░░░░░ I bouncing back and ░░░░░░░░ making deals I guess ░░░░░░░░ him uh it s ░░░░░░░░ about making deals rather ░░░░░░░░ brand witness and uh ░░░░░░░░ you specify if you ░░░░░░░░ you mentioned uh offering ░░░░░░░░ resources uh were you ░░░░░░░░ a position in the ░░░░░░░░ Administration any Financial incentives ░░░░░░░░ drop out oh I ░░░░░░░░ there was definitely various ░░░░░░░░ of offers I won ░░░░░░░░ go into concrete details ░░░░░░░░ it I really won ░░░░░░░░ because I don t ░░░░░░░░ I don t even ░░░░░░░░ to make that the ░░░░░░░░ Focus let s let ░░░░░░░░ just say they did ░░░░░░░░ they they did not ░░░░░░░░ did not offer you ░░░░░░░░ s position they offered ░░░░░░░░ something something something relatively ░░░░░░░░ up well I don ░░░░░░░░ think it was that ░░░░░░░░ up because Believe Me ░░░░░░░░ the highest position in ░░░░░░░░ in the Empire they ░░░░░░░░ t say a word ░░░░░░░░ genocide for me it ░░░░░░░░ just a place in ░░░░░░░░ s Inferno man that ░░░░░░░░ the lowest litus test ░░░░░░░░ morality to oppose genocide ░░░░░░░░ when you deny genocide ░░░░░░░░ you actually enable genocide ░░░░░░░░ that cannot be the ░░░░░░░░ option to fascist right ░░░░░░░░ they uh just one ░░░░░░░░ on this did they ░░░░░░░░ offer you did they ░░░░░░░░ you uh a cabinet ░░░░░░░░ a lower position and ░░░░░░░░ to pay off any ░░░░░░░░ your campaign debt well ░░░░░░░░ they offered serious substantive ░░░░░░░░ about all of those ░░░░░░░░ could lead toward you ░░░░░░░░ and uh it s ░░░░░░░░ interesting because you mentioned ░░░░░░░░ religious leaders invoking Martin ░░░░░░░░ King but maybe they ░░░░░░░░ look up Martin Luther ░░░░░░░░ because he would have ░░░░░░░░ outside with those protesters ░░░░░░░░ protesters sitting in he ░░░░░░░░ edly against Vietnam well ░░░░░░░░ think that I mean ░░░░░░░░ actually responded to the ░░░░░░░░ Freedom Movement with Civil ░░░░░░░░ Acts and voting right ░░░░░░░░ and uh uh hous ░░░░░░░░ housing acts with anti ░░░░░░░░ programs and every responded ░░░░░░░░ both Trade union movement ░░░░░░░░ well as just left ░░░░░░░░ as a whole so ░░░░░░░░ were very significant so ░░░░░░░░ Martin to break from ░░░░░░░░ particular president see that ░░░░░░░░ qualitatively different in Breaking ░░░░░░░░ Biden Harris I mean ░░░░░░░░ God Almighty and you ░░░░░░░░ all the lies that ░░░░░░░░ re telling about bid ░░░░░░░░ he was the greatest ░░░░░░░░ the most Pro workking ░░░░░░░░ president with our excellent ░░░░░░░░ and you say my ░░░░░░░░ how can anybody credibly ░░░░░░░░ that kind of statement ░░░░░░░░ was some significant legislation ░░░░░░░░ was able to push ░░░░░░░░ and bipartisan but in ░░░░░░░░ of pushing for World ░░░░░░░░ III in terms of ░░░░░░░░ genocide the architect of ░░░░░░░░ crime against humanity called ░░░░░░░░ incarceration glass steego we ░░░░░░░░ go on and on ░░░░░░░░ on with Biden and ░░░░░░░░ people want to put ░░░░░░░░ on Mount Rush more ░░░░░░░░ can see the level ░░░░░░░░ of lies that the ░░░░░░░░ part is willing to ░░░░░░░░ in order to make ░░░░░░░░ grab for power and ░░░░░░░░ that s all we ░░░░░░░░ we re in deep ░░░░░░░░ Man and could you ░░░░░░░░ about because obviously you ░░░░░░░░ getting the heat uh ░░░░░░░░ just from you know ░░░░░░░░ Democrats but even some ░░░░░░░░ who are trying to ░░░░░░░░ you you know they ░░░░░░░░ you but they feel ░░░░░░░░ re going to enable ░░░░░░░░ and to them uh ░░░░░░░░ Trump is more important ░░░░░░░░ ending this neoliberalism what ░░░░░░░░ the difference for you ░░░░░░░░ in 2020 you decided ░░░░░░░░ know I m going ░░░░░░░░ hold my nose vote ░░░░░░░░ Biden uh and encouraged ░░░░░░░░ but then four years ░░░░░░░░ it s obviously you ░░░░░░░░ made a different calculation ░░░░░░░░ now do you feel ░░░░░░░░ Trump is less of ░░░░░░░░ threat uh and how ░░░░░░░░ you answer people who ░░░░░░░░ you that this is ░░░░░░░░ man talking about you ░░░░░░░░ joking about being a ░░░░░░░░ weaponizing the Department of ░░░░░░░░ Deport Mass dep deportations ░░░░░░░░ you could potentially enable ░░░░░░░░ uh if a couple ░░░░░░░░ votes go to you ░░░░░░░░ Michigan and elsewhere one ░░░░░░░░ votes go to me ░░░░░░░░ not necessarily votes that ░░░░░░░░ go to Harris I ░░░░░░░░ that s that that ░░░░░░░░ got to just keep ░░░░░░░░ very very clear most ░░░░░░░░ the people who vote ░░░░░░░░ me would never have ░░░░░░░░ to do with Harris ░░░░░░░░ anything to do with ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party anymore what ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party needs to ░░░░░░░░ is have a Socratic ░░░░░░░░ and examine itself and ░░░░░░░░ to shift policies in ░░░░░░░░ a way that they ░░░░░░░░ to some some of ░░░░░░░░ issues that we re ░░░░░░░░ about it seems to ░░░░░░░░ structurally unable to do ░░░░░░░░ given a real the ░░░░░░░░ money and big military ░░░░░░░░ given the kind of ░░░░░░░░ that it lives in ░░░░░░░░ but but what what ░░░░░░░░ would say is is ░░░░░░░░ each and every citizen ░░░░░░░░ to critically reflect and ░░░░░░░░ their choice and vote ░░░░░░░░ I make my case ░░░░░░░░ makes a case Trump ░░░░░░░░ a case Stein makes ░░░░░░░░ case Claud La Cruz ░░░░░░░░ a case other socialist ░░░░░░░░ and libertarian parties make ░░░░░░░░ case and the citizens ░░░░░░░░ right making sure they ░░░░░░░░ choices available that s ░░░░░░░░ line and you know ░░░░░░░░ m curious what you ░░░░░░░░ because the Democratic Party ░░░░░░░░ are uh and their ░░░░░░░░ accomplices in my view ░░░░░░░░ frantically uh calling you ░░░░░░░░ Stein RFK spoilers pushing ░░░░░░░░ to get out but ░░░░░░░░ seems to me they ░░░░░░░░ causing this because they ░░░░░░░░ t allow a fair ░░░░░░░░ I mean I assume ░░░░░░░░ might have considered running ░░░░░░░░ the Democratic primary if ░░░░░░░░ didn t do what ░░░░░░░░ did to Bernie two ░░░░░░░░ uh you saw it ░░░░░░░░ close but as I ░░░░░░░░ people don t think ░░░░░░░░ running third party is ░░░░░░░░ less rigged I mean ░░░░░░░░ just challenged you in ░░░░░░░░ and temporarily got you ░░░░░░░░ the ballot I know ░░░░░░░░ re going to court ░░░░░░░░ that over you know ░░░░░░░░ issues they ve been ░░░░░░░░ you with their army ░░░░░░░░ lawyers the Democratic Party ░░░░░░░░ get you so get ░░░░░░░░ off ballots elsewhere so ░░░░░░░░ big their big theme ░░░░░░░░ democracy yet you Jill ░░░░░░░░ uh even RFK all ░░░░░░░░ are doing is trying ░░░░░░░░ stop people from having ░░░░░░░░ choices but you re ░░░░░░░░ right you saw it ░░░░░░░░ in terms of no ░░░░░░░░ sister Maryann and others ░░░░░░░░ had a chance then ░░░░░░░░ becomes third party and ░░░░░░░░ various uh legal teams ░░░░░░░░ coming at us tooth ░░░░░░░░ nail though brother we ░░░░░░░░ m getting all letters ░░░░░░░░ lawyers me my wife ░░░░░░░░ wife anah getting all ░░░░░░░░ letters coming out of ░░░░░░░░ of us personal personally ░░░░░░░░ in terms of lawsuit ░░░░░░░░ of us against the ░░░░░░░░ I m part of ░░░░░░░░ for all uh and ░░░░░░░░ we re on the ░░░░░░░░ man you know we ░░░░░░░░ going to be on ░░░░░░░░ good U 45 states ░░░░░░░░ the comination of justice ░░░░░░░░ all party and these ░░░░░░░░ small parties you you ░░░░░░░░ the story The United ░░░░░░░░ party and black party ░░░░░░░░ South Carolina that um ░░░░░░░░ that cly burn himself ░░░░░░░░ in 69 when he ░░░░░░░░ a rebel and an ░░░░░░░░ the auroral party in ░░░░░░░░ salute him Progressive Party ░░░░░░░░ again my Unity party ░░░░░░░░ Colorado natural law party ░░░░░░░░ has been so open ░░░░░░░░ us Florida and Mississippi ░░░░░░░░ can go on I ░░░░░░░░ t want to name ░░░░░░░░ all of them but ░░░░░░░░ you add those plus ░░░░░░░░ Justice for All plus ░░░░░░░░ various W in petitions ░░░░░░░░ we ve been working ░░░░░░░░ that we re still ░░░░░░░░ going to provide a ░░░░░░░░ provide a choice for ░░░░░░░░ who who believe that ░░░░░░░░ ought to be some ░░░░░░░░ for truth condition vision ░░░░░░░░ Truth is to allow ░░░░░░░░ to speak some room ░░░░░░░░ justice it has to ░░░░░░░░ with poor and working ░░░░░░░░ but also brother Jordan ░░░░░░░░ re bearing witness for ░░░░░░░░ brothers and sisters in ░░░░░░░░ global South because their ░░░░░░░░ is inexplicably inter woen ░░░░░░░░ our destiny that when ░░░░░░░░ re looking at an ░░░░░░░░ uh that s like ░░░░░░░░ bully in a China ░░░░░░░░ uh you ve got ░░░░░░░░ be able to make ░░░░░░░░ voice your vision your ░░░░░░░░ the efforts connected to ░░░░░░░░ wretchard of the Earth ░░░░░░░░ around the world and ░░░░░░░░ to send a message ░░░░░░░░ the younger generation you ░░░░░░░░ don t have to ░░░░░░░░ out you all don ░░░░░░░░ have to give up ░░░░░░░░ simply accommodate yourself to ░░░░░░░░ rot in the twop ░░░░░░░░ system absolutely you know ░░░░░░░░ don t know if ░░░░░░░░ saw uh I was ░░░░░░░░ when I saw this ░░░░░░░░ night uh Chris Cuomo ░░░░░░░░ Cuomo used to be ░░░░░░░░ CNN anchor now is ░░░░░░░░ news Nation he was ░░░░░░░░ the floor at the ░░░░░░░░ National Convention and he ░░░░░░░░ let basically said let ░░░░░░░░ pull you in a ░░░░░░░░ secret all these Good ░░░░░░░░ and all uh you ░░░░░░░░ they re talking about ░░░░░░░░ Democrats are talking we ░░░░░░░░ going to go after ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ after price gouging he ░░░░░░░░ told his cameraman can ░░░░░░░░ can you show look ░░░░░░░░ all these boxes are ░░░░░░░░ up up in the ░░░░░░░░ of the up in ░░░░░░░░ top of the um ░░░░░░░░ and these same Democrats ░░░░░░░░ all politicians not just ░░░░░░░░ Democrats there s a ░░░░░░░░ because those those are ░░░░░░░░ people funding this and ░░░░░░░░ re not going to ░░░░░░░░ those people these are ░░░░░░░░ men and the women ░░░░░░░░ go back to their ░░░░░░░░ and their communities and ░░░░░░░░ fight they take time ░░░░░░░░ their jobs they take ░░░░░░░░ from their families Republicans ░░░░░░░░ Democrats alike that s ░░░░░░░░ they do they need ░░░░░░░░ charge these people up ░░░░░░░░ need to be able ░░░░░░░░ get them on board ░░░░░░░░ there s another reality ░░░░░░░░ is literally looking down ░░░░░░░░ them Greg look at ░░░░░░░░ Ring of sweets okay ░░░░░░░░ is not unique to ░░░░░░░░ there is a game ░░░░░░░░ money when people talk ░░░░░░░░ unip party we are ░░░░░░░░ by the money reality ░░░░░░░░ our politics those Suites ░░░░░░░░ at 500 Grand you ░░░░░░░░ there s like a ░░░░░░░░ group up in there ░░░░░░░░ think it s like ░░░░░░░░ Cub Scouts of Columbia ░░░░░░░░ South Carolina that s ░░░░░░░░ in those boxes some ░░░░░░░░ them are lobbies and ░░░░░░░░ things the media boxes ░░░░░░░░ think they re free ░░░░░░░░ do you think I ░░░░░░░░ on the floor news ░░░░░░░░ is not a broke ░░░░░░░░ nextar is a massive ░░░░░░░░ we are corporate media ░░░░░░░░ don t have one ░░░░░░░░ those boxes cuz that ░░░░░░░░ the game you pay ░░░░░░░░ play those boxes are ░░░░░░░░ with the same people ░░░░░░░░ they say they re ░░░░░░░░ to regulate they are ░░░░░░░░ looking down on the ░░░░░░░░ and being told yeah ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ down on them we ░░░░░░░░ going to make them ░░░░░░░░ their share they paid ░░░░░░░░ 700 a million a ░░░░░░░░ and a half to ░░░░░░░░ those seats they get ░░░░░░░░ tweets that are probably ░░░░░░░░ to the party and ░░░░░░░░ same thing is true ░░░░░░░░ the Republican side and ░░░░░░░░ re going to take ░░░░░░░░ down they re going ░░░░░░░░ change how it is ░░░░░░░░ are looking down from ░░░░░░░░ high at the people ░░░░░░░░ make the difference in ░░░░░░░░ communities and that is ░░░░░░░░ reality of politics I ░░░░░░░░ never seen that on ░░░░░░░░ media I don t ░░░░░░░░ he would have been ░░░░░░░░ to say that on ░░░░░░░░ uh but credit to ░░░░░░░░ it was truth but ░░░░░░░░ look at these conventions ░░░░░░░░ cover the RNC in ░░░░░░░░ the DNC in person ░░░░░░░░ of these political campaigns ░░░░░░░░ just seems to be ░░░░░░░░ lot of you know ░░░░░░░░ of millions of dollars ░░░░░░░░ political branding and theater ░░░░░░░░ at the end of ░░░░░░░░ day as he pointed ░░░░░░░░ donors are paying half ░░░░░░░░ million dollars per box ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ re paying unless they ░░░░░░░░ getting something in return ░░░░░░░░ you don t hear ░░░░░░░░ in the coverage on ░░░░░░░░ MSNBC do you do ░░░░░░░░ think that whether it ░░░░░░░░ the DNC RNC uh ░░░░░░░░ elections campaigning the system ░░░░░░░░ general most people don ░░░░░░░░ know that that s ░░░░░░░░ you know my dear ░░░░░░░░ the great Glenn Ford ░░░░░░░░ used to say that ░░░░░░░░ s professional wrestling a ░░░░░░░░ grade level where the ░░░░░░░░ have already been made ░░░░░░░░ big money people are ░░░░░░░░ behind the scenes but ░░░░░░░░ tremendous impact and that ░░░░░░░░ why I salute yourself ░░░░░░░░ brother Tim black Sister ░░░░░░░░ Amy I m talking ░░░░░░░░ the those few truth ░░░░░░░░ in a corrupt media ░░░░░░░░ trying to tell the ░░░░░░░░ Against the Grain very ░░░░░░░░ resources just like our ░░░░░░░░ broke as a 10 ░░░░░░░░ financially right but still ░░░░░░░░ on step by step ░░░░░░░░ step but Tavis Smiley ░░░░░░░░ the others who are ░░░░░░░░ trying to hold on ░░░░░░░░ some Legacy of the ░░░░░░░░ who told the truth ░░░░░░░░ T Thomas fortunate I ░░░░░░░░ to be Wells Bart ░░░░░░░░ to my old brother ░░░░░░░░ Stone who I used ░░░░░░░░ break bread with many ░░░░░░░░ show you how old ░░░░░░░░ am but he was ░░░░░░░░ truth teller in the ░░░░░░░░ the context of Journalism ░░░░░░░░ this is what happens ░░░░░░░░ an Empire every sight ░░░░░░░░ every sphere is saturated ░░░░░░░░ money it s saturated ░░░░░░░░ manipulation and transaction as ░░░░░░░░ brother brother Clinton West ░░░░░░░░ say and when you ░░░░░░░░ wholesale transaction everybody s ░░░░░░░░ sale everything is for ░░░░░░░░ how does truth and ░░░░░░░░ and Love Ever gain ░░░░░░░░ and that s been ░░░░░░░░ question of my campaign ░░░░░░░░ that s precisely why ░░░░░░░░ m running some people ░░░░░░░░ talking about why why ░░░░░░░░ West still running I ░░░░░░░░ said why I m ░░░░░░░░ we re trying to ░░░░░░░░ sure that we tell ░░░░░░░░ truths we re still ░░░░░░░░ for the election but ░░░░░░░░ re shooting for the ░░░░░░░░ we re GNA have ░░░░░░░░ united front after brother ░░░░░░░░ and brother Kang and ░░░░░░░░ talked about whoever wins ░░░░░░░░ then more importantly in ░░░░░░░░ ways it s a ░░░░░░░░ of what kind of ░░░░░░░░ being you and I ░░░░░░░░ to be though man ░░░░░░░░ we want to just ░░░░░░░░ up and cave in ░░░░░░░░ lies and crimes I ░░░░░░░░ never in a million ░░░░░░░░ sell out my precious ░░░░░░░░ brothers and sisters and ░░░░░░░░ will never sell out ░░░░░░░░ poor and white poor ░░░░░░░░ brown poor and that ░░░░░░░░ if I were there ░░░░░░░░ the 30s I would ░░░░░░░░ with the Socialist and ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t be selling ░░░░░░░░ the workers and black ░░░░░░░░ under Jim Crow wouldn ░░░░░░░░ sell out the Jews ░░░░░░░░ Hitler wouldn t sell ░░░░░░░░ to colonize under the ░░░░░░░░ Empires what kind of ░░░░░░░░ beings are we going ░░░░░░░░ be we not here ░░░░░░░░ long brother Jord if ░░░░░░░░ probably not H probably ░░░░░░░░ the case but if ░░░░░░░░ Biden saw this or ░░░░░░░░ president Harris saw this ░░░░░░░░ they uh immediately pledged ░░░░░░░░ stopped funding uh Israel ░░░░░░░░ uh assault on Gaza ░░░░░░░░ stopped providing the weapons ░░░░░░░░ stopped supporting Netanyahu uh ░░░░░░░░ you consider dropping out ░░░░░░░░ that was the case ░░░░░░░░ that s not your ░░░░░░░░ issue no I mean ░░░░░░░░ thing is it s ░░░░░░░░ just one issue for ░░░░░░░░ I mean the war ░░░░░░░░ are baked into US ░░░░░░░░ they d have to ░░░░░░░░ acknowledge that their war ░░░░░░░░ and they ve they ░░░░░░░░ these war crimes but ░░░░░░░░ also got the issues ░░░░░░░░ poverty at home I ░░░░░░░░ the issues of police ░░░░░░░░ home I got the ░░░░░░░░ of working people people ░░░░░░░░ marginalized at home I ░░░░░░░░ got the issue of ░░░░░░░░ inequality at home you ░░░░░░░░ so that for me ░░░░░░░░ that s a little ░░░░░░░░ I was so glad ░░░░░░░░ be with my dear ░░░░░░░░ and sisters that abandon ░░░░░░░░ now abandoned Harris press ░░░░░░░░ that that you were ░░░░░░░░ enough to actually one ░░░░░░░░ of a few to ░░░░░░░░ the whole thing but ░░░░░░░░ for me even if ░░░░░░░░ came through and pulled ░░░░░░░░ plug and defunded Israel ░░░░░░░░ s very important uh ░░░░░░░░ they I want to ░░░░░░░░ the end of their ░░░░░░░░ I want in fact ░░░░░░░░ u a social arrangement ░░░░░░░░ which precious Palestinians and ░░░░░░░░ Jews can live lives ░░░░░░░░ decency and dignity and ░░░░░░░░ their own forms of ░░░░░░░░ determination be the B ░░░░░░░░ secular state or whatever ░░░░░░░░ come up with but ░░░░░░░░ m not a two ░░░░░░░░ solution kind of brother ░░░░░░░░ think that s long ░░░░░░░░ we won t go ░░░░░░░░ that right now yeah ░░░░░░░░ but in the end ░░░░░░░░ know without a any ░░░░░░░░ of self righteousness because ░░░░░░░░ m a crack vessel ░░░░░░░░ it s a matter ░░░░░░░░ trying to keep some ░░░░░░░░ compass some kind of ░░░░░░░░ witness that has to ░░░░░░░░ with solidarity with the ░░░░░░░░ of these and uh ░░░░░░░░ know even biblically speaking ░░░░░░░░ know when Jesus is ░░░░░░░░ as much as what ░░░░░░░░ do on to me ░░░░░░░░ the Prisoners the
