I’ve had my friend Cornel West on The Glenn Show several times over the years. We have many political disagreements, but I have all the respect in the world for his intellect, his curiosity about the world, and his eagerness to talk to “the other side” in good faith. Younger left-liberal black public intellectuals have not, by and large, measured up to his standard. In this clip from one of our subscriber-only Q&A sessions, John and I discuss the decline of our “opponents” in the race debate. We even get a little wistful about Ta-Nehisi Coates!

This is very amusing. As we hear about the intellectual decline of the Left, Rep Chip Roy stands on the House floor and tells the world Conservatives in Congress have done nothing. The poorest states in the United States vote for Conservatives. The regions with the poorest health outcomes and largest state COVID deaths vote Red. Red states have the lowest longevity. Conservative fiscal planning led to the death of the economy of the state of Kansas.
Conservatives are planning an authoritarian government. Ohio Republicans wanted a 10-year old to carry a fetus to term and charged a woman suffering from the trauma of a miscarriage with a crime. In Texas, Republicans in Texas wanted a woman with a nonviable pregnancy to be at death’s door before she could get medical care.
Why would anyone be proud to be a Conservative?
Hilarious .. “.... because white people have lost their mind” .. I agree!!
