Interviewed Donald Trump, asks Dr.West about experience. Asks Dr.West about his taxes which he addresses forthrightly. Does not bring up "billionaire" Trump famously stated he pays no taxes. Bloomberg interviewer:FAIL. That is the crisis of capitalism.

"I'm a blues man, there's no optimism in the blues!" - I'm with that and felt that, my brother
-
Interviewer sees hope and optimism as synonymous. Mzee Cornel West does not. He has hope, not optimism. "Hope is about making a leap beyond the evidence that is given to you. Optimism usually looks at the evidence and sees whether it's possible to infer that things are going to get better. So you see, hope is over against the evidence sometimes. Optimism oftentimes, again, has to do with being a spectator" - Cornel West

Hes basically asking Dr. West why is he running for president and if he wins wouldn't he take away power from the ruling class. The answer is YES.
-
I wasn't going to vote but now I am voting for him
-
The kids of today deserve cornell for their president.. not a repeat of last election.. all this cool ai and technology.. cornell is best imho.. we are lucky he is even running.. would truly be a shame to waste this opportunity
-
How is he qualified? Have you ever heard trump talk? This man is brilliant and kind. Exactly what this country needs!
-
Dr. West has a deep soul with a backbone from our ancestors.
-
imagine if someone like him could be president, what a world
-
Definitely the best candidate IMO. Unfortunately, there is so much big-money freely flowing into the upper portions of all the branches of the government that having a not rich, honest and anti-corrupt president would only fix a very small part of the problem. I believe he would probably be the ONLY candidate to actually address this issue.
-
It’s called being pimp’d by the government when paying taxes. Taxes should be illegal (Pimping) Something only the government and the rich greedy can do to others with no repercussions. I never judge anyone who owes money they work for to the government.
-
Ahhhh! Slowly I can finally breathe again. FRESH AIR
-
This is a real leader
-
I would like to see him and Thomas Sowell have a conversation with each other, mainly about economic's and social issues.
-
Ambition is never something to be ashamed of. Having ambition is one of the most positive traits you could have.
-
Cornel West is the candidate of Integrity! He has always stood up for the working class and the downtrodden. Cornel 2024!
-
Capitalism needs to be taught so people will understand how to navigate society.
-
This interview is going to go over a lot of people’s heads.
