This is perhaps one of Jimmy’s most important interviews. It really exposed Cornell West for who he is. And it’s not our ally. He’s a typical academic who is running to sell books and pay off his IRS debt, not running seriously to become president or even to get a few million votes to hold Biden hostage to his policies.

On the bright side, Jimmy’s new Directed-Energy-Truth-Laser was able to smoke out THIS empty suit in less than 45 MINUTES… it took almost four years to unmask Bernie. We’re living in a global Milgram Study– it’s shocking to see which PREVIOUSLY RESPECTED ICONS happily align with the 67% of people who BOW TO AUTHORITARIANISM instead of the 33% who will DO THE RIGHT THING even if it costs them.
Moral of this story: Those who wear cufflinks are NOT, in fact, friends of the working class. Muh brutha.
Great job, JD & team. Remarkably disappointing that West is basically running as a Dem-lite candidate. West wants to prosecute Trump but claims Biden and Dems aren’t as fascist as Reps. While advocating for prosecuting his political opponent. SMH. Another duopoly sheepdog, sadly.

Dr west is a neo liberal imperlist facists no different to jfk. Sorry America u have no hope . One guy is a Israel support the other a neo liberal clown
Goddamn that was super disappointing from cornel. The sheer amount of gaslighting and bullshit there was offensive. When he does that shit, it isn’t to defame JD, its to defame his own supporters. Cornel is temperamentally unfit to lead this movement. He is too entrenched with the PMC. His job is to ignite the fire for the movement and he once again poured wet cement on it here. Now I fully expect to see him drop out and endorse joe biden again.

I’m not a fan of Fauci but he was right about there being a difference between the individual level and the population level. It’s a concept called scale and it effects literally everything in science.
Missed the live, but watching now and had to stop the video to calm down. Cornel West has a glitch in his software. The glitch is that he doesn’t see the big picture, which is astounding that someone as intelligent as he is has such a massive blind spot right in the middle of the central tenet of his campaign. Holy shit. Unbelievable.
I’m really unsure why West is running if Trump is such a big threat. His campaign makes no sense. As a gay man, it’s insulting to me that West says that Trump is more fascist because of gay rights. Biden was worse on gay rights for longer. If West wanted to fight for LGBT people, he would fight against Biden’s propaganda instead of parroting it.
What was the point of repeating “reported” crimes in the San Francisco story? It’s a widely known fact that crime has dramatically decreased across the country from what it was from the 1960s to the mid-1990s. What evidence exists that it’s just because people are simply reporting a lower percentage of crimes? Are you seriously pretending that cops were solving stolen car cases back then, and that’s why people trusted them and reported crimes to them more? Crime is way down, but the media sensationalize crime in order to make us fear our neighbors, especially those scary homeless criminals who we shouldn’t help because they’re obviously bad people…
great work JD – thanks for Actually fighting the fight – JD is our only hope!

I also really only think RFK Jr is the one who can win. Love Dr West but he will only appeal to a limited number of voters where RFK can cross all the lines for a bunch of reasons.
I’m still hoping somehow he can get attention to the plight of Palestinians and evil of Israeli govt and our support – whenever he finally sees the light about the BS his family’s friends have been shoveling for his whole life.
Another RADICAL sea-change that you can’t force but hopefully they are intelligent enough to at least honestly look into. And in this case, some awful atrocity that gets better than normal media coverage would be the perfect catalyst. It’s not like Israelis ever show restraint – which is evidence in itself that their power over US is greater than what we know.
As unfortunate as it is, isn’t the simplest explanation to be that West is actually used (willingly or unwillingly) precisely to disqualify any third option? Like Bernie has been in retrospect when he ended up supporting Clinton?

…and Marianne etc…watch & follow some good indie media, but not enough to see the clear picture that invested subscribers do. They are not taking in the day-to-day evil that we get to see. And to convince them you need to have all the evidence you present across the year in one place – for them to even begin to realistically compare. They will have to see it off-air and really do the side-by-side comparison since they are also still getting regularly dosed by corporate media and their old friends & associates that have fully crossed over. And its terrifying to be in that spot pushing back against the duopoly! Any moment they all collude to crush you!
You are presenting “radical” information to them that is common sense once you see the patterns for months but if they don’t watch all the time, and let any of the legacy media crap in, their brains are still stuck in the old patterns and they will struggle against redefining or analyzing what they have already processed and stored.

Biden’s corruption matters. What Dems did in the Weaponization of Govt hearings against truth matters. The Biden govt’s institutional censorship & lying & enforcing it with collusion of Big Tech & Pharma is clearly MORE fascist than anything Trump did or said and ignoring vax injury and along with still pushing policies & installing criminals to run these programs hurts all of us.
Criminalizing and wasting all that money, time & energy on impeachments is corrupt. The whole party is corrupt. The whole system is corrupt. I am way more offended by Dems & faux Progressives because they have done so much more damage to our cause AND our people – not the least of which is deflating our revolutionary spirit by folding on us every time it is clear we have enough support to win.
This is why progressives will.never infiltrate and beat out democrats. Because they would much rather be right 100% of the time than win. It is like they think the point is to be right. And not get in office and get their policies passed. He thinks what we need it Obama hope and change rhetoric than get the disenfranchised people who NEED policy changes. Which is why people voted for Obama and Trump. Even if they didnt get it.
Jimmy made me proud to support this show yesterday. I know why he was depressed after the interview but I was buzzing. Thanks for continuing to stand with principle, Jimmy. We need to overcome hate and find common ground with our neighbor.
Cornel preaches against white elites but he told workers to vote for the writer of the Crime Bill — and from the several interviews I’ve seen, it sounds like he’s telling them to do it again! He says that Trump questioning an election is fascism but doesn’t care that the DNC fixed their last two primaries.
God bless the Jimmy Dore Show! You all give me hope.
One more comment. If racism white supremacy is not a big deal, why did Dick Cheney advocate for the use of race based bioweapons? Let’s guess which race Dick Cheney had in mind to target.
I disagree with Cornel West’s stance against the vaccine mandates and the vilification of Trump. But it’s always funny how White people want us Black people to ignore the system of racism white supremacy to join along class lines. However, history shows that Black people always get the short end of the stick when doing so. For example, getting a national highway system that runs through Black business districts. Lastly, please get Kirk a book or at least tell him to see Dr Frances Cress Welsing’s definition of racism white supremacy.
I don’t get that Jimmy wants that AT ALL, in fact he’s trying to say that his msging is wrong and it is! You can’t keep saying Trump is WS/Fascist and excuse the same with Biden and Bernie by bringing up IDPOL issues. And that’s what Cornel does every time. He said on the breakfast club, Bernie’s worried about the neo fascism. Really? Whys he supporting a WS/Fascist then?
It’s not a matter of not bringing it up. It’s a matter of he keeps saying it’s JUST the right and Trump. And then it gets contentious just like it did here 🤷🏻♀️

Listen the whole “race” thing is a DISTRACTION! This is NO longer a “race” issue! This is Rich vs Poor and obviously the rich are winning because of bull shit propaganda that you and Sabby Sabs are falling for!!!!! Again, NO ONE said that West couldn’t talk about these issues however save this bull shit distractions for networks like CNN and MSNBC who he shouldn’t be “pandering” too when they are the ones who are being “racists” and calling West himself a “white supremacist”!!!!!!! What does West stand for? Huh? Can you name ANY of his policies?! He really shit the bed and if you don’t see this for what is really is that the rich are STILL trying to divide us along the “white vs black” lines then you are a chump of the highest order as Jimmy said. This is RICH VS POOR NOT white vs black. And if you want to talk about “held down and forgotten the Native Americans have been fucked over A LOT more than black people and are still being fucked over and I don’t hear anyone standing up for them! So before you buy into the propaganda and bull shit about white vs. black remember the source that this came from the TOP down NOT from the BOTTOM up!

Yes, brothers and sisters West is no better than the sheep herding Bernie Sanders who sheep herded people back into the democratic party! That is why he shit the bed on Anderson Cooper’s show and why he’ll ALWAYS shit the bed when it comes to standing for the people (poor people). He stands with the rich. I wasn’t going to vote for him because I smelled a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It goes to show that the rich run EVERYTHING and we poors have NO choice but to become slaves to rich people. We will OWN NOTHING, EAT BUGS, AND BE HAPPY! I’m NOT locking down nor am I going to be wearing a mask. I guess I’ll be in jail with the rest of the poors who also wanted to stand up against rich pedos in the white house. NO politician is going to save us is a VERY TRUE statement! West only cares about pandering to the establishment. Kennedy will be JFKed or RFKed if he even thinks about winning. There is NO hope for us. I love all you guys and it’s been sort of nice knowing all of you.

It’s kind of remarkable to me that CJ, Nick, & Sabby @ RBN, Pasta, and Kit all have said similar things to Dr. West about the messaging on Trump/Biden. In each, Cornel pushed back but he never got upset like he did with JD. Is his campaign the only one in history without a PR person to help with messaging? George freaking Washington had dudes helping him with speeches and messaging 250 years ago! Maybe we just don’t have the records of him calling Hamilton a right wing Trumper. Nonetheless, that suggestion seemed to be what set Dr. West off. He’s too smart not to see the difference between being told to be disingenuous vs taking constructive criticism to more effectively communicate to the people whose votes are required.
I watch a lot of Chris Hedges and Richard Wolff too and they also go into the Trump = monster often. Maybe that’s the intellectual left’s RFK-Palestine-blindspot or maybe Trump did demonstrably horrible racist things that I’ve forgotten or blocked out. I don’t like Trump, haven’t voted since Obama, and think Trump is a egotistical jerk that’s probably a little racist. Nonetheless, what policy or action can someone please point to that harmed minorities or LGBTQ besides the same Imperialism that everyone in Washington does? The FBI and CIA spied on him for 4 years and they couldn’t even produce one verbal slip in a private conversation where he dropped an N bomb or said something disgustingly racist- if he had it’d be all over MSNBC and CNN for six weeks. The border wall felt racist to me, but the border crisis is now more obvious and ever and that was at least some attempt to address it. Biden and the Democrats have done nothing on that issue… aside from quietly finish building Trump’s wall.
Perfectly stated. I’m always amazed that ppl think Trump is a WS when he’s the one that fought the state of Florida to allow blacks in his club!!! But Biden’s not? Sorry, can’t get behind that at all.
So I guess censorship was ok as long as it was against Trump? Here I thought I was actually going to vote for the first time in my 65 yrs…clearly it doesn’t matter when even the third party is just democrats🤷🏻♀️
