I just want to take this opportunity to thank the people of michigan who kind of repudiated the polls that had us 20, 25 points down a few days ago, who repudiated the pundits who said Bernie Sanders is not going anywhere. And what tonight means is that the Bernie Sanders campaign, the peoples revolution that were talking about, the Political Revolution that were talking about is strong in every part of the country. Frankly, we believe that our strongest areas are yet to happen. Were going to do very, very well on the west coast and other parts of this country. What the American People are saying is they are tired of a corrupt Campaign Finance system and super pacs funded by wall street and the billionaire class. They are tired of a rigged economy in which people in michigan, people in illinois, people in ohio are working longer hours for low wages, worried to death about the future of their kids, and yet all must on income and wealth is going to the top 1 . And the people of america are tired of a broken criminal Justice System in which we have more people in jail, largely africanamerican, latino, native american more people in jail than any other major country on earth. Campaign, as this many will remember, 10 months ago. We work 60 or 70 points down in the polls. And yet we have what we have seen is in poll after poll, state after state, what we have done is created the kind of momentum that we need to win. Juan Hillary Clinton spent the evening in ohio which also holds , a primary next tuesday. She addressed supporters before the results from michigan came in. I want to talk about what working families are up against across the country. I want to talk about how we have a new jargon so you can get ahead and stay ahead. City, smallustrial town, farm country, Indian Country every community that has been hollowed out by lost jobs and lost hope. Dont let anybody tell you we cant make it in america anymore. We can, we are, and we will. [applause] that, weder to do cant be talking about building. Alls or turning the clock back we have to build on what made America Great in the first pla , our energy and optimism, our openness and creativity. Amy we are now joined by three guests. West,n new york, cornel professor at Union Theological seminary. He endorsed Bernie Sanders for president last summer. He is author of numerous books, most recently, black prophetic fire.

She has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. In los angeles, were joined by Melina Abdullah an organizer , with black lives matter, which has not endorsed any president ial candidate. She is also a professor and chair of panafrican studies at california state university, los angeles. We welcome you all to democracy now dr. Cornel west, we are going to begin with you because at least for the pollsters, this is a stunning upset step i have to say, even Bernie Sanders i think was surprised. I have never seen him alone like that just standing against a wall holding a News Conference for the press, spoke for a few minutes. Did not yet know the primary results. You are with him in michigan this weekend. Its true, we had no idea we would have this kind of upset. We knew were going to fight a son integrity and principle fight based on integrity and sensible. Were trying to bring neoliberalism to a cold. Hillary clinton is a neoliberal, s a progressive. We know Bernie Sanders is the one to beat trump. Inre at a very deep moment this country. I want to salute you all because the Corporate Media has produced trump in a fundamental way every minute he is covered, every second hes covered. Bernie sanders hardly gets covered, but she has the he has the same number. I think we have some real amy last night, cnn and msnbc both ran the entire extended News Conference the donald trump held. Now Hillary Clinton actually spoke midway through trumps begin. Usually, they switch from one to another. Here they held the tape Hillary Clinton to run the entire extended News Conference of trump in florida. I think it is very sad. I am also very said that black america is not waking up in the way in which we should. We have a spiritual rot and moral cowardice in our neoliberal black css who d not wa to tell the truth about the undecided, the Hillary Clinton campaign. In the undecided as to deal with not just the clinton machine and all of its corruptions and so forth, but more importantly, the policies,the trade the incarceration regime, the deregulating of the banks and so forth. Brother bernie is hitting his head on. This difficult for hillary to act as if she is such a populous when she is been a centrist for so long. Juan one of the things about the michigan primary particular was since it was an open primary, that meant independents could vote, not just democrats. Some of the speculation is at the last moment, a lot of independents decided, well, let me go into the democratic primary and vote for bernie, which is sort of an indication electric in the United States is support is divided in thirds. Given the class issues that brother bernie and all of us are trying to push come in michigan, the class issue makes a big difference. It is generational and ideological. It is a beautiful thing to see. Juan i want to bring in Dolores Huerta, cofounder of the united farm workers of america. Your sense of what happened yesterday in these primaries and why you think it is so important for democrats and others to vote for Hillary Clinton . Well, i think one thing is that we seem to put a lot of blame on hillary for things that bill clinton did in the clinton administration, which i dont think is right. I think the other thing is, i know bernie has a i respect him for the message he brings about inequality of the can him up system, but he knows that we also have a congress to bring to fruition some of the great ideas that he is put forth. I do believe Hillary Clinton i have a lot of faith in her and i think she has the skill, the wisdom. She has the experience to make things happen. When we compare the records of the two candidates, we see that Hillary Clintons record is much stronger than Bernie Sanders is. And i do believe what arnie is saying and what he wants to happen, and i believe in many, many of the ideas he has put forth, but i think it will take time and we have to really elect a good congress. People forget the Affordable Care act, when i passed congress, italy passed with four or five votes, even though we had a 25 democratic majority at that time. I have to say in terms of the latino community, we are completely in support of
