About this episode

Kmele Foster challenges Jemele Hill's views on capitalism during a CNN panel discussion.

Kmele Foster asked Jemele Hill one question about capitalism on CNN, and she had no answer for it. Jemele Hill argued on a CNN panel that capitalism is bound up with white supremacy. Kmele Foster answered with Adam Smith, private property and gains from trade, and asked her what any of it has to do with white supremacy. She never answered on the set. The next day she posted the argument on X and was met with a Community Note: enslaved labor produced roughly 10 to 13 percent of GNP around 1860, cotton 5 to 6 percent, and American economic dominance came from northern industrialization after 1865. She posted again and drew a second note. Larry O'Connor then turns to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the collapse of socialism across the Western Hemisphere and his description of American socialists as overeducated and underachieving, and to the House resolution denouncing socialism that 192 Democrats voted against. Tim Burchett walks off the floor with the last word.
