Most definitely he knows all he has to do to set the sicko government haters against someone, is to speak against that person. These people, like the proud boys etc, hate government. They actually say they love the country and that the government doesn't. And trump has used that hate to his benefit. Constantly saying, if you don't do something, we won't have a country anymore. It started out with the kkk. Against black people. And the basics, of that behavior is what people like trump are using against not only a particular race. But anyone they have animosity towards. This is the dangerous part.

Does Kennedy really have a brain worm? Or was that just a crazy story? Would explain a lot.

I thought about Kennedy s speech as well. But in normal, everyday life, the average Americans responsibility is in paying taxes. Taxes that pay for the people we elect, to be our REPRESENTATIVES. Representatives that do the JOBS, of running government and government affairs. Including a president. A president that with qualified advisors, makes the decisions. A Congress, to see what will help ALL Americans and make it so. Face it. Most presidents and politicians, are well off, never knowing hard work. Never knowing living pay check to paycheck. Kennedy was son of a millionaire. Growing up, lived in wealth. It's EASY...to read some words, written by a paid speech writer. Most Americans, live paycheck to paycheck. How much can a person, barely surviving give..to the country? Blood?

All the analysis on the tube ain't helping us as low income consumers at all. There needs to be action taken. I still see it as greed. Walmart for instance. Everything is getting to be self serve. We as consumers bag our own groceries. Yet prices go up. Ya have 20 cashiers standing around watching us scan and bag our own groceries. They have plenty of profits for remodeling the stores. Buying all these fancy shelves. But we're paying the bill with higher prices.

Nice show. I'm trying to understand how McConnell has claimed his position all these years.

Dear Robert, I truly believe we have had, double standards for decades before even the 90s. Trump, in all honesty, brought it out of the weeds and up for grabs. Even if, he's no better than any of the elites, the political zealots, the people who use, 70% of the rest of Americans, as stepping stones to wealth and power. But but shouting it, like he did, brought out the thoughts millions of people already shared. Think about it. No matter who's in charge, there is still 70% working people living on the edge of the cliff. Where any major hit on your earning ability, throws you out in the street . And this behavior, has grown, year by year. And neither side REALLY, fixes it. We get little handouts, offered things like food stamps , living in cheap or free, but minimal, housing. All while the, what used to be, 1%, has become the 20%. All you have to do is Google statistics of income. And you'll see.

As long as trump has a voice with the Republican party, no Republican voter will switch. But you guys keep jumping on Joe Biden's popularity. Also, your comment about Joe not being on the side of Unions. He was the only president in history of walk with Union strikers. The actual workers. She may have said, she's for the working class, but I don't think she went to any Union halls. Joe did. Yes, as a person, Harris did wonderfully, speaking and campaigning. But the policies didn't speak to 55 to 60% of working class Americans. Because they seemed to speak to mostly the upper middle class. People making over or around 100 thou a year. And most of Americans aren't there.

@tony--james At my age, I try not to wish harm on anyone. But I'll tell you. There are some, and djt is one of those, that are an exception, big time. People who have, all the benefits life has to offer. Everything handed to them on a silver platter. Then STILL!, openly create anger and violence against someone, just for vengeance, or power or money. That's a bridge too far. They gotta be stopped. It's like evil, 3.0

Tell me Robert. Do all you podcasters get your ideas for your shows from 1 outlet? Because I've said several times already to different channels, that I'm a man. I'm not a gay man. I'm not a feminine man. I'm not a college educated man. Yet I voted for Hillary, I voted for Obama. I voted for Joe Biden. And I sent in my mail in ballot last week, for Harris,Walz. I'm actually sick of being labeled as a kinda dope. Just because I'm not college educated. And I'm sure I'm not alone in my feeling.

Doesn't it figure an actor passing trickle down. I mean, how else do you live in the super wealthy sections of California, if you gotta pay landscapers and pool maintenance people, chicken shit wages? Oh sure if you work for, a bilingual boss, who owns the landscape business or pool maintenance service. You're boss is probably doing fine. Yeah that's right. I live in Florida and I see first hand how it's the immigrants, doing the physical labor. While the white boss, hires a bilingual foreman, to run a crew who cannot speak English. So I assume we don't have a monopoly on that cozy little set-up. Anyway, I'm sorry Robert, but it's going to take...an act of Congress, to give labor, a better deal. And. If we don't curb immigration. The companies that hire them are going to get even a bigger foothold on fair pay and removal of the trickle down application.

Well, I'm sorry to say but, this is todays America. And shouldn't we as consumers, as voters, as adults. Use our own common sense and ability to weigh, comments on Facebook, YouTube, and all social media and even the MSM, before blind belief? It's like going to church, or anywhere information is given. You have to think for yourself. Instead of picking an outlet for information and following it without question. My suggestion is, watch several outlets and use your best judgement as to what's best for everyone. Not just a certain group.

How old are you Robert? What DRAMATIC, event do you want Joe to do? Isn't strange, how he's done the job, just fine right up till the war in Gaza. Then suddenly he's too old. When are you going to wrap it up Robert? Have a little empathy. Where the hell are all these polls? Every channel I watch, the comments are all, We're with you Joe. We love you Joe. Yet 65% of polled voters are against him. And did you have some anxiety if and when you had covid? Just keep bashing Joe everyone. Maybe he'll feel so sad and terrible he'll quit. Then you can have his emotional death, on your conscience. Because millions of us are giving him, our vote gladly.

We sure as hell could use a, Robert Reich, in Trumpville feeding a sprig of thoughtfulness into the mix. But trump only wants, yes men and women in this new administration. Feeding his ego and his bank account. And giving the US to Vlad Putin, his fanboy.

Come on, Unless you are gay or trans or poor or an illegal immigrant, maybe black, a woman, a black woman, a poor or lower income woman and person in general, retired person with nothing but SS or SSI, you're gonna be just fine. Im sure all three of you, will do just fine. You've probably got fine bank accounts. Podcasts will explode with new content. MSM will live large off the excitement of another trump term. The thing I worry about is Democracy. It's Democracy and the end of this American experiment. Think Putin. They have elections. They have a so-called government. But everything is run by 1 man and what he wants. Sound familiar? This is what we are headed for. Unless a few Republicans in the house and Senate, grow a spine and stand with Democrats. And all the Democrats stick together, We're gone as a democracy.

We know trump doesn't think like this. He's not a chess player. Who's the thinker behind trump? His kids, Steven Miller. Someone is pulling the strings?

Face it you guys. The whole conversation was prewritten and scripted. Scripted so to make djt feel good. You couldn't pour more molasses on him if you tried. One big kissass 4 days of, butter up the turkey, named trump. New policy, my ass. Between the insane, undoable, 2025 plan and trumps inability to be normal. It was a typical TNC 4 days. We all know it was a show meant for 1 person. My worry. What the hell the DNC is going to do to poor Joe. Maybe he can't cut it, any more. But GD it, the party and his, " friends". Sure as hell aren't doing what the trump people are. Supporting him. Bastards.

Trump won't turn on Musk. The money means too much to him. And Musk is such a flake, a little flattery will get some funding. And when you have more money then brains, he can be used by a salesman like djt.

You're speaking to the peons Robert. How the hell do we get our, Congress, to do these... improvements. When they don't even get together enough to do the basics? You have MARVELOUS..., ideas. But how do we, the people that only 60% of us vote, to get our Congress, to implement them? Any of them? It's been this way, even before you were part of the system. And you couldn't even get it done then. There's ALWAYS, someone in the congress, to block or hide, or screw, everything to make these changes. Why? Because it may take some power, away from them.

Sorry Robert sir, but you're preaching to the choir. MAYBE! You'll get a few undecided. And I hope ya do. But let's be real. If! Kamala can just get the same people that Joe Biden got in 2020, and keeps the states that Joe Biden won in 2020. We'll win. I'm very sorry Robert. But when they forced Joe Biden out, after the debate. I said, they'd be sorry. And now look at the situation we're in. Billions!!! Spent on her campaign and we're neck and neck anyway. I don't think Joe with her as VP, could have done worse. Why? Because in the end. The same people you're begging to vote for her. Would have realized the same thing. Biden aint perfect. He's old. He's slow. But we know... he'll do the right thing for America.

He's NEVER... going to do an illegal round up. It's not financially profitable. It's expensive. I live in Florida, where Ron Desantrump, vigorously chimed about illegals. We have more Hispanics here now, than I have seen in 20 years. And I've been here since 1956. My neighbors are immigrants on three sides. Just in the last 3 years. And if Desantrump ain't doing it, trump won't either. Because white Americans don't want to get their hands dirty. I'm a 72 year old carpenter, all my working life. Now, white kids just want to be bank employees, financial advisors, lawyers, maybe doctors, etc. None, want to sweat for their jobs. Only at the gym, before heading out to a night at, the club. America has raised a clan of trump like people. All wanting to make big money without working hard. And that's, why trump won't close the borders, and he won't deport the illegal immigrants. Hell, he may give them free passes, as long as they promise to vote for him.

EXACTLY!!! THANK YOU! You stole my thunder. But it can never be said too much. Because as well as I think about this channel and some others. They don't say it at all! It's no wonder to me, people didn't think Joe Biden was even on the job. Dem leadership, didn't do it. MSM, didn't do it. And almost all the podcasters did nothing but go along with leadership in putting him down. And I'm truly pissed about it.
1
@Raelven You're so right. And I don't want to bash this channel or some of the other Dem podcasters. But we have to understand, these people aren't doing these podcasts, out of the kindness of their hearts. They are making plenty of money for what they do. So when they include themselves in the world of average America. Think again. They are all becoming millionaires if they weren't already. By raking in tube money by the thousands. So no matter what happens to us people on SS, SSI and Medicare. These folks will be just fine. No offense to their true patriotism and people caring.
