Youtube comments of RhondaK (@Rhonda2580).

  1. The capital police officer says that we can’t “lump in” all of the Summer of 2020 riots together, because each situation, and each encounter with a police officer, was different. But, he is happy to “lump in” all of the January 6 protestors into one group.

  2. Hillary is still pissed she lost to Trump. And she doesn’t realize how irrelevant she now is. Move on woman.

  3. From the first words out of David’s mouth, I am going to say that he is a useless guest. Megyn is talking about courage and D-Day, and David’s first comment was to find a way to tie that into a slam on Trump. On Megyn’s show, we talk about the issues with intelligence and facts. We don’t sit around throwing one-liner cheap shots. What an ass!

  4. I am so sick of Kamala acting like she is some expert on foreign policy - she doesn’t know anything about it. Trump actually WAS President, and there were no wars during his administration.
    354
  5. JD approaching the reporters on the tarmac and asking them if Kamala has explained to them why she isn’t making herself available to answer any questions from them was GOLD. In response to JD’s question to the press, they were dead silent. I think they were thinking “crap, is this like that Biden thing, where we got caught not doing our job?”
    196
  6. It totally cracks me up. Colbert going over the “DeSantis wouldn’t return my calls” thing and saying how terrible DeSantis is for being manipulative. Hello — it was Kamala that brought it up to the Press! And, by the way, Biden said that he was in regular contact with DeSantis and even gave DeSantis his personal phone number - so why would DeSantis waste his time talking with Kamala!
    169
  7. A Dem friend of mind watched Walz first rally speech, where Kamala introduced him, and she posted that she was on board with him. She said, basically, “Veteran. Teacher. Going to be good for our country.” My friend is a veteran also, so I started sharing with her how he had ditched out on his service, when he was going to have to face combat, and how he had lied since that about his service and his rank. She said “well, all politicians lie”. I told her about the terrible things that he has done in Minnesota, that shows what he really believes in. She wasn’t persuaded. Bottom line for her, I think, is she hates Trump, so she is going to accept ANYTHING that isn’t Trump. I don’t understand that kind of hatred. You are just hating yourself, if you vote for someone like Harris/Walz, because their policies would destroy our country further.
    159
  8. I think I’ve concluded that Kamala has nothing inside. You can hear the lack of a real person from those stories, at various events, about taking care of her mother when she was sick, or about the woman that helped raised her that was a small business owner. These are supposed to be personal stories, especially regarding her Mom. But, she uses the EXACT same words, said in the same way, with the same pauses and little smiles, EVERY time. None of it is genuine - she has just memorized something that she thinks will make her be more relatable. There isn’t a genuine bone in her body.
    129
  9. The funniest thing is Leslie Stahl acting like she has no idea how this happened. How about if you just stop lying? And, if you get something wrong, come out and admit it.
    118
  10. Gavin Newsom actually said “God as my witness”? Man, that’s the wrong name to throw around so casually, just to try to make a political point.
    117
  11. The way that George S pursued Nancy Mace in that interview said a lot about him.
    103
  12. So, Kamala is still saying that Joe Biden is totally fine? OMG.
    98
  13. Stephen says that Trump agreed to the debate schedule that Biden wanted because Trump wanted to take advantage of an old man that had lost his fastball. We have to remember that that “old man that had lost his fastball” was RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! Trump didn’t pick a fight with some random senior citizen with dementia. Biden put himself into that field, so he had to be prepared to play according to the rules of that game. I don’t appreciate Stephen trying to make Trump sound like a bad guy on this issue. It is really dishonest.
    96
  14. Megyn, we are so lucky to have you! You have a huge platform, and people will listen to you, including You Tube executives, and you are on our side!!
    96
  15. The lack of water in fire hydrants is, per se, at least negligence, and someone better be fired over it.
    92
  16. Charlie makes a good point. I wasn’t shocked by how terribly Biden did in the debate, because I have been watching independent media, and not main stream. For me, it was more of a “OMG, now EVERYBODY is going to know” moment, and I was thrilled. The American people need to truly see what it is they would be voting for, if they are going to choose Biden, and the debate helped them get a little closer to the truth.
    86
  17. I think that Sean is right. It isn’t that people have a problem with voting for a woman. They have a problem with voting for THIS woman. The difficulty for the Dems is that they can’t change Kamala - she is weak and unserious, and no amount of prepping or coaching is going to change that. And, frankly, I really don’t think she is smart enough to consciously make the changes that would be needed. This is indicated by the fact that, when she gets a tough question that she doesn’t how to handle, she gets pissed off and blames the person asking the question. That is a sign of a dumb person.
    86
  18. Megyn, I know what you mean! It is so hopeful now, and I love what Trump is doing.
    86
  19. By the way, the black women that play in the WNBA aren’t the ones that built that league - it is the players in the NBA that built that league. The WNBA has never made money, and it is the NBA that supported them
    84
  20. We live in the rural part of Riverside County, California. We have 20 acres of land, and live in a very nice manufactured home on the property. We also have a beautiful metal horse barn, and related metal equipment barns. We cannot get fire insurance from a traditional carrier, and haven’t been able to do so for a few years now. We are stuck with the California FAIR Plan (very funny name, since it certainly isn’t fair). Every year our premiums go up, and we have to try to fight those increases by “proving” how much work we do to clear brush and weeds, and maintain our property to mitigate fire risk. Sometimes we win, and sometimes we lose. We can’t get any theft insurance anymore, because no carriers in California will provide theft coverage to a rural property that includes a manufactured home and outbuildings, so we have to rely on Air Tags on our tractors and other heavy equipment. This is all as a result of the nonsense that California has done to the insurance industry in California.
    81
  21. So funny - I just saw a clip showing Trump taking questions while riding shotgun on a beautiful garbage truck in Wisconsin! He has a huge “TrumpVance” sticker on the side. Priceless. :)
    80
  22. If having Pakman on accomplished anything at all, it was to allow Hogan Gidley to shoot back at him. Because Hogan did an amazing job.
    79
  23. I am just wondering - if saying someone’s name wrong is a “micro-aggression”, does that mean that calling someone Hitler and calling that person’s supporters “garbage” is a “macro-aggression”? Asking for a friend. :)
    76
  24. Megyn, part of the issue with how the press pool has been comprised in the past is the fact that the “pool” never told us how impaired Biden was, although they, being the press that had the closest and most consistent contact with the President, were in the best position to see what was happening with him. So, maybe the press association told themselves that they were picking the most reliable reporters, but it turned out they were picking just the reporters that would maintain the left wing party line.
    75
  25. What’s funny about the George S situation is that he isn’t “humiliated” for lying, or even for being caught in the lie. He is “humiliated” because his boss had to admit that he screwed up.
    73
  26. Megyn has the right take on Trump’s reaction to the first assassination attempt - you can’t fake that kind of courage! And that kind of courage is exactly what our country needed for its next President. Thank God he won!
    73
  27. Really forgot how shocking the debate was.
    63
  28. Calling yourself a “role model” as self-congratulations is the height of arrogance. That is something that other people might say about you, either as praise or as accusation, but not something that you should say about yourself.
    63
  29. The Angry Joe from the DNC was like the Angry Joe from the State of the Union. That has to be some certain drug cocktail that causes that, because there was nothing normal about how he spoke or how he looked.
    61
  30. I don’t care if it is only ONE girl or woman! How many would Jen Psaki say is too many?
    58
  31. The Dem representatives showing up at the DOE offices, and being turned away, was a perfect representation of how ineffectual the Dem’s have now become. There was a whole herd of them, all performing their drama for the benefit of the people videoing them, and they were all stopped by one single, mild-mannered security guard, in a tan short jacket. I would have loved to see the cameras continue to roll, as the group of representatives slowly wandered off, one by one, probably to have a good cry back at their offices.
    57
  32. Although I appreciate the medical information that this doctor had to share, he was so obviously partisan and that influenced everything he had to say. I think a poor choice for a medical expert.
    56
  33. Pakman, we don’t need to “solve” the reason that people are trying to come to this country, although you didn’t say what you think that reason is. The U.S. is not in charge of running the world. Other countries are responsible for themselves, and for their own people.
    56
  34. Are we thinking seriously that Hunter is going to try to argue that he was an addict, so he is not responsible for the things that he does? I’m sorry, dude, but you ARE responsible for the things that you do when you are an addict. I’ll tell you why - WE didn’t make you an addict, YOU did that. So, YOU are responsible for all of the consequences of that. If he was an alcoholic, and ran someone over while driving drunk, it is not a defense to say that you are an alcoholic.
    53
  35. That was unbelievable, for CNN to let that “trans” athlete get on there and say there is “no evidence” that “transwomen” have an advantage over women in these sports competitions. But, FURTHER, I am confident that neither of the hosts said anything like “well, wait a minute here - what about the statistics on ….” And “how about the fact that you don’t see ANY women claiming that they are now men, and want to compete against men?” Or “how about the fact that these ‘transwomen’ were previously bottom tier athletes when they were competing as men?”
    53
  36. It says something terrible about Walz’ character that he would ever claim, or allow others to claim, that he served in combat, when he didn’t, or that he held a rank that he didn’t. It seems to me that Kamala was so desperate for someone from the extreme left, that wasn’t Jewish, that she just assumed that the campaign could get past this issue, and the press would help them. Because, I can’t believe that she didn’t know about it. Any basic background check should have disclosed it.
    52
  37. Batya is such a good guest. So smart and well spoken. And so much good information to contribute to the conversation.
    51
  38. On the Ruthless podcast yesterday, before the jury came back, they asked their listeners to put in the comments the answer to this question - “If Trump is found guilty, will it change your vote?” My answer was, “Yes, it will change my vote. My vote for Trump will change from “Yes” to “Hell Yes!!!” Also, the verdict caused me to make my first donation to Trump’s campaign, and I also bought a “Trump 2024” shirt.” :)
    50
  39. Viva is a really good guest. He always has interesting things to contribute.
    45
  40. Missed you, Megyn, and missed getting your live take on current events. Welcome back!
    41
  41. Sotomayor doesn’t even know that we are a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy? Holy cow.
    41
  42. I think that, every time the Biden campaign throws out the “Trump is a convicted felon” line, the Trump campaign should come back with “We understand that is a lot easier for you than talking about what you’ve done to the border (or the economy, or our college campuses, or …), but those are the issues that actually matter to the American people.”
    41
  43. Halperin is not a journalist if he says “I know something terrible about Trump, but I’m not going to tell you what it is”. That is terrible! He says that he won’t put anything out there that he hasn’t vetted, and he also says that he doesn’t think that what he heard is even true. So, why say anything at all!?
    39
  44.  @davidgalloway5598  I guess she must have run out of the money that they stole from their foundation. :)
    39
  45. Moynihan!! B.S.! You are saying that, in that moment when the Oval Office press conference with Zelenskyy broke down, it was because Zelenskyy was having a “language issue”?! If you watch the ENTIRE press conference again, from the beginning, or just watch Megyn’s show where she went through the whole thing, you will see repeatedly that Zelenskyy was pushing the whole time for “security guarantees” and that a resolution wasn’t possible without “security guarantees”. He had no problem communicating that in English. And Zelenskyy knew full well that Trump wasn’t going to commit to anything about “security guarantees” in the first stage, but Zelenskyy never intended to sign the mineral deal UNLESS he also got, now, security guarantees. That is precisely why Zelenskyy insisted on coming to personally see Trump, instead of just signing the minerals deals a week ago in Ukraine. This was not a language issue for Zelenskyy. He had a very specific agenda of what he wanted, and was trying to manipulate Trump into giving it to him.
    38
  46. I wish they would stop saying “no one is above the law”, because they clearly don’t really believe that. What they really believe is “the law for thee, but not for me”.
    37
  47. Batya is a great guest! Such a lovely person, and so smart,and she contributes so much to these discussions. She is never just repeating something that Megyn already said, or something that we already heard.
    36
  48. There is a lot of stress relief that can be found in becoming a Christian. One year now for me, and it has made a huge difference. :)
    35
  49. LOVE the Ruthless fellas, and LOVE the chemistry between them and Megyn! And they are right - Megyn’s entry into the alternative media lane has been huge for people that wanted and needed to hear a more conservative view of the issues, especially fact based.
    35
  50. I really can’t understand how abortion can be such a high level important issue that it would totally control how a voter would choose their Presidential candidate. First of all, how many women actually will encounter an unwanted or unexpected pregnancy in their lifetime? And, maybe it would be a good idea to control ourselves and not have unprotected sex, or wait to have sex until we are married and have a plan to have children. I understand there are situations involving rape, but even those are very rare, and almost all limitations on abortion provide for exceptions for rape. Also, if a woman is raped, wouldn’t it be most common that the woman would go to a hospital, or would otherwise obtain a morning after pill, to avoid the possibility of pregnancy?
    35
  51. What BS! Joe Biden doesn’t “love his son”. He is “pulling him closer” because he is an actual LEGAL liability, regardless of whether or not he is a political liability. Hunter knows many things and, if he turned on his father and the rest of the family, or even let things slip inadvertently, it could spell terrible trouble for Joe. And, by the way, we aren’t talking about a 12 year old child here - certainly any father would be worried about an adult son that has gotten himself into this kind of legal trouble, but acting like Hunter is breakable and has to be protected all the time is part of why he is so screwed up to start with.
    34
  52. These boys were adults at the time. I just don’t buy the idea that they were so afraid of their parents that they had to kill them, but they weren’t afraid enough to just move out.
    33
  53. Kamala can’t avoid taking a position on policy forever - if she doesn’t make a clear statement about what she believes in before the debate, it will give a lot of ammunition to Trump in the debate.
    32
  54. Totally agree with Bannon on the ICE enforcement that needs to be insisted upon. Although I think that Bannon is a little extreme on some things, this is a binary issue. Federal law says that illegal aliens need to go, and anyone that interferes should be arrested.
    32
  55. To Mark Cuban’s points about immigration policy, and how Kamala just had to follow what the President decided - he is forgetting that, when Kamala ran for President (for about five minutes), she was spouting the same types of policies as we have now. She wanted to decriminalize illegal immigration. She wanted the government to pay for trans surgeries for illegal aliens. Etc. So, it is what she believes! Not just what her boss decided. I wish Joe Kiernan would have challenged him on that.
    32
  56. Agreed, Megyn - that wasn’t an apology.
    31
  57. By the way, Jasmine Crockett is 43 years old. But she seems to be trying so hard to sound like a tough girl gangsta in her 20’s. I don’t understand why people even voted for her.
    29
  58. I take issue with Eliana saying that she doesn’t blame Kamala for not doing press conferences or interviews. Kamala is the one that needs to be blamed. She is running for President of ALL of the American people, and the American people are entitled to know what she intends to do with her requested Presidency, and to test those expressed intentions by asking her questions about why her policies now are different from the Biden administration policies that she supported and different from everything that she has said previously in her political and governmental career.
    28
  59. All of the Senators in that hearing should have been required to disclose whether their last campaign for election/reelection, or their PAC, received any contributions from pharmaceutical companies. That would be a potential conflict of interest that would inform the American people as to their potential biases.
    28
  60. Yes, Megyn, it is actually shocking that a President is actually doing the things that he said during the campaign that he would do. I think that is part of the reason that the Dems are on their back foot. They have never seen a President that actually did what he promised he would.
    28
  61. It is also astonishing to me how ready these main stream media journalists are to accept as true the things that governors, majors, city managers (elected officials) say about what isn’t happening in their city or state, and how unwilling these journalists are to consider what the actual citizens, who have to live with it day to day, have to say. These elected officials are certainly not going to admit, on national television, that they screwed up, or that their city or state has serious problems. What happened to the press’ former mistrust of people in power, and their desire to fight for the little guy?
    27
  62. Victor is happy nowadays! No more Eeyore. :)
    26
  63. I do not believe for one minute that, if that black woman on the roundtable on CNN thought that she was being discriminated against in her employment, she wouldn’t have filed a complaint with the EEOC. That’s the remedy available, in the case of discrimination. And, Megyn makes a great point. It is easy for a person of color to claim that they didn’t get the same opportunities or same level of pay because they were a person of color, but maybe it was just because they weren’t as good a candidate or employee. She claimed to be better educated than her counterparts that were favored instead of her, but an education isn’t the determining factor when you get to these points. I used to manage a law firm. Some of the best employees we had also had the least amount of education. More education doesn’t automatically translate to being a better employee. And, frankly, for this particular woman, some of what held her back (assuming that is even true) might have been her poor attitude.
    26
  64. The Dem’s say that legislation protecting women and girls in sports isn’t really necessary because the population of men that want to compete in women and girls’ sports is so small. But, on the other hand, if the population of men that want to compete in women and girls’ sports is so small, what’s the big deal with putting in place some legislation that will give much needed protection to those women and girls? In other words, why are the women and girls that ARE affected by this expected to make the sacrifice, instead of putting the burden on these men and boys - after all, they are the ones that are trying to make a change, only for their OWN benefit.
    25
  65. I don’t think that Kamala is dumb. She is very good at understanding what will work to her benefit, and then pursuing that, regardless of what the truth is. But, she seems to have no mental agility or depth, and certainly isn’t very good at thinking on her feet. These are not good traits for a Presidential candidate.
    24
  66. Somebody better get to Trump’s team and let them know that he HAS to directly deal with the trans issues that Megyn mentioned. The number of trans people may be small, but the policies around trans people’s rights affects a HUGE number of non-trans people.
    24
  67. I absolutely LOVE the idea of having a federal emphasis on having healthy food, without the ridiculous influence and control that the food industry presently has over things like the USDA food pyramid. I can envision a resurgence in people growing their own food, community gardens, etc. It would be so healthy for us to get outdoors, digging around in the dirt, and contributing to our own food supply. This is in addition to things like some of the chemicals that are used in our food production, but that aren’t technically “ingredients”, so they don’t have to be listed on the label. Exciting!
    24
  68. Duffy and Lauren are a great matchup to have on, especially for a younger take on things. They should be regulars!! Very smart and well spoken, both of them.
    23
  69. I think that Kamala did that well in the debate with Pence because Pence is so sweet and such a gentleman. When she did her “I’m speaking…” things, he could have said “well, I guess you are, but you really aren’t saying anything…”. Trump will be a different debater entirely.
    23
  70. Once Megyn pushed back on Jim, he said “I can’t defend other news organizations” - Dude, that’s what you started out doing! With your “all the reporters are trying their best to reported an unbiased view of the news”. (Paraphrased) And, I would love to see what Axios reporting was prior to this regarding Joe Biden’s mental and physical condition, etc.
    22
  71.  @shawnrobinson4173  I think that Megyn is still arguing for the ideal, at least in this area, because journalistic integrity is important to her. It’s like when she used to talk about all of the rules that the Dems broke, but then she thought that the Republicans should still comply with the rules. She eventually got to where she said “okay, if you say it’s okay to break the rules, we will do that too.” She is trying to hold an ethical line. I just think that the Dems have to face the natural backlash of them going too far, and that maybe means some things that might not be ideal, but that will, if not actually teach them a lesson, at least serve to try to even things out.
    22
  72. If any of these cases get to the Supreme Court, I think that the Dem’s will regret it, since I think that the Supreme Court will take the opportunity to issue a ruling that makes very clear, from a broad picture standpoint, what sorts of powers are reserved to the President.
    21
  73. Who knew that Justice Jackson considered her appointment as a Supreme Court Justice to be a consolation prize.
    20
  74. I would like to see a list of the designated “pool” reporters during the Biden administration. That will tell us a lot.
    20
  75.  @dannywhite7426  So, in other words, he is a liar. :)
    19
  76. How does Jack Smith have the right to file a “brief” that cites to alleged evidence, but doesn’t include actual witness declarations under penalty of perjury? Or reference to action prior testimony under penalty of perjury? I am a retired attorney, and haven’t practiced any criminal law, but in the civil world we always had to provide proper evidence with foundation and, when it included witness statements, it had to include properly authenticated testimony. NOT just an attorney filing a brief where THE ATTORNEY represents evidence that he isn’t qualified to testify to. That’s hearsay subject to no exception.
    19
  77. “Pro Choice” actually means “Pro Abortion”, since no one is trying to stop them from having a baby. Someone that is “Pro Choice” is actually just someone that is in favor of abortion.
    19
  78. The Red Scare ladies seem quite sweet, but they don’t really have much to contribute to these discussions. I felt the same the last time they were on. They don’t really sound like they are up on the issues. It sounds more like conversation you might have at a cocktail party with people that just feed back to you what you say, because they don’t have anything of their own to contribute. Maybe they are a little intimidated by Megyn?
    18
  79. I have talked to medical professionals that say that they know doctors that schedule unnecessary C sections because it works better for their schedule. They can plan their day better, rather than having to wait for the mother to randomly go into labor. But a patient would never know that it was unnecessary. Really need a doctor you can trust.
    18
  80. I was quite surprised that RJKJ didn’t know what was involved with the changes that the Biden Administration had made to Tiitle IX. I think it’s great that he was open to hearing from Megyn the impact of the changes that had been made, but he is running for President, and these are very important issues to a large portion of the country. It would seem that he would know this is an important issue, and that he would have already been briefed on it.
    17
  81. It is more like she is programmed, and has nothing of her own to contribute.
    17
  82. Of course we elect Presidents based on their policies. And, by the way, it is their policies that SHOW you their character. How else can you know what someone’s character is? You look at what they have done, and the tangible things that they say that they will do. You certainly don’t just listen to someone saying “I am a great person” and take that at face value.
    17
  83. Female athletes that won’t speak out about the terrible injustice of men competing in women’s sports are just hoping that it won’t ever directly affect them in their competitive career. It makes me think of that message by the pastor in Germany - first they came for the unionists, and I wasn’t a unionist, so I didn’t speak up; then they came for the …, and I wasn’t …., so I didn’t speak up; then they came for the Jews, and I wasn’t a Jew, so I didn’t speak up; then they came for me, and there wasn’t anyone left to speak for me.” (Probably terrible paraphrasing, but you get the idea.). Female athletes, whether they are directly affected or not, HAVE to speak up and refuse to allow this.
    17
  84. I LOVED Senator Markwayne Mullin bringing a little reality to the proceedings.
    17
  85. KJP is disgusting. It is not for her to say what the American people “really” care about. But, well done on avoiding and laughing at the question. So sorry that Peter didn’t press her on it. And so sorry that the rest of the press corps sat there embarrassed, like “we don’t know that guy at all.”
    16
  86. I recall a subsequent article that said it was a fact that the illegal aliens influx coming into the workforce has more seriously impacted black people (and maybe other people of color, I don’t remember) than white people. Those are the “black jobs” Trump was talking about.
    16
  87. I love Megyn’s dramatic reading of leftist articles and stories. :)
    16
  88.  @cathyd-123  Now that’s funny. Well done. :)
    16
  89. So glad that VDH is here! Perfect for these topics right now.
    15
  90.  @kathleenmckeithen118  I KNOW! She is the one that has the groups like “white guys for Harris”. She is all about dividing everyone up into groups based on their race and sex.
    15
  91. I called Senator Cassidy’s office yesterday, as Megyn suggested.
    15
  92. Zelensky is just trying to save face. He has a huge ego and doesn’t like the feeling that anyone will think that Trump is controlling him. Also, it’s probably a shock to adjust from Biden and his administration.
    15
  93. I strongly object to Biden making a political speech from Our House! That White House belongs to all of us, not to him. Explain to me why KJP is so worried about commenting from the press podium about anything having to do with the Biden campaign because that is “improper”, but it is totally fine for Biden to make political re-election speeches about Trump from the White House. He is just guaranteeing that Trump is going to get elected.
    14
  94. I wonder if Selena Gomez did that lovely emotional scene on the first take? Think about it - either she started to feel a genuine emotion, but then decided “oh, now’s a good time to get this on video”, or she faked the whole thing. Either way, it is disgusting.
    14
  95. The attorney general of the United States doesn’t deal with the types of crimes that Whoopee is talking about anyway. Those aren’t federal crimes.
    14
  96. What Kamala did in the debate with Pence, with the “I’m speaking” thing, was just beat up a very nice, polite man. Have to imagine that she might have had some practice using that line with Doug at home. :) In response, if it were me, I would have said “you may be speaking, but you aren’t actually saying anything” and “when you say something that doesn’t make sense, I’m going to call you out on it. If you don’t like that, then try to start making sense.”

  97. So, Jim thinks that “most reporters” try to get to some sort of an unbiased truth about what they are reporting? First of all, I would like to to know what he means by “most reporters”. Does he mean most line reporters that actually research stories, or does he mean most reporters that actually have a byline on stories. And, what about the alleged “journalists” on MSM that are supposed to be reporting the “news” to us? Give me a break.
    14
  98.  @carolinabs-9  That person sounds like a troll - just trying to wind someone up.
    14
  99. Yes. It’s not that we would respect him, but he is a pathway toward reasonableness and sanity for the Dem’s that listen to him.
    14
  100. Funny, but I never got my ballot for that open primary. Check into that for me, Nancy.
    13
  101.  @nuqwestr  Hating Trump doesn’t even make any sense. How would he inspire hate in anyone? We aren’t his wife or his friends. He hasn’t done anything to wrong us in a personal way. He did a great job running the country, apart from some of the Covid stuff, which I really can’t blame him for.
    13
  102. I absolutely LOVE those two guests! Smart, clever, quick, and they make for entertaining and informative viewing. Please have them on again, Megyn!
    13
  103. Sunny Hostin is clearly a genius, so that’s why she needs to read everything she says off of cards.
    13
  104. Megyn, Pakman doesn’t need your show to platform his nonsense. He isn’t interested in actual facts. He is interested in pushing an agenda, and it’s the same agenda we can see anywhere on main stream media. I wish you would explain to us what you were thinking, in bringing him on.
    13
  105. Congress appropriated money for these agencies, but Congress never identifies or allocates those funds to any specific programs within those agencies. Congress leaves it to the agencies to allocate the funds to the programs that the agencies determine. But all of these agencies are under the Executive Branch of government so the President has the right to tell the agencies what existing programs to fund, or what new programs the President wants the agencies to establish and fund. The judicial branch doesn’t have the authority to dictate to the President what programs within these agencies have to be supported by the President or funded by these Executive Branch agencies. These federal judges are acting in excess of their authority, and they will be told so by the court of appeals and the Supreme Court, if need be.
    13
  106. It is really none of our business whether or not Trump cheated on his wife. That is entirely between him and her. I don’t care how many times he may have cheated on her, it isn’t illegal, and I would never consider that issue in choosing who to vote for.
    13
  107. When Nancy Pelosi said “then why are we talking about it?” what she actually meant was “then why are you ASKING me about it?” In other words, “Dude, you are the main stream media - you aren’t supposed to point out that you can see the Wizard behind the curtain.” And, Jake almost seemed embarrassed to get caught actually being a journalist for a second. If people actually elect Kamala as President, they are going to get it good and hard, so I hope they remember that they asked for it.
    13
  108. @ What happened at the Capital is personal to him, and I understand that. I just find it odd that he was interested, four years later, to go on Piers Morgan to keep talking about it. Also, I don’t think that anyone explained exactly what his involvement was - was he one of the officers that was ushering protestors through the Capital? Or was he actually confronted at the barricades? It would have been good to know.
    13
  109. That reporter on the tarmac that asked Kamala about Vance’s claim that Walz deserted his own troops by retiring asked entirely the wrong question. That has to be intentional, and I wouldn’t put it past them to have worked it out in advance. The question should have been “are you aware that Walz has, on multiple occasions and in many different ways, claimed, or allowed others to claim, that he retired from the National Guard with a rank higher than he actually held?”
    13
  110. She refused a pretext call? That’s really odd.
    13
  111. Jurors definitely take cues from the Judge, but Jurors don’t like it when it seems that the Judge is trying to control what the verdict will be in a jury trial.
    12
  112. LOVED the interview with Justice Gorsuch! What a lovely, intelligent, considered man. And, I just watched the John Adams series again on Max, and found it so inspiring, and Justice Gorsuch’s comments about patriotism gave me the same feeling. Wonderful!
    12
  113. Megyn, I would love to see you do a review for us of the EO’s that have been challenged in court and the results of those challenges so far. I know that some temporary restraining orders have been issued from some courts, but with further hearings pending, etc. I haven’t been able to find a more specific summary on all of the proceedings or the results.
    12
  114. Bless you, Elon.
    12
  115.  @TM-xv7cg  It’s just too difficult to memorize new talking points, so she just keeps using the same ones. Such a lightweight.
    11
  116. All this means that Hunter can STILL be an ATTORNEY!! Disgusting!
    11
  117. David says “of course I’m not saying that Republicans shouldn’t still have a say so…”. But, dude, that exactly what you just said. I am finding David to be shallow in his views, and more interested in name calling than in actually having a discussion.
    11
  118. I thought that there was also an unprecedented increase in the number of black men that voted for Trump?
    11
  119. If Dana Bash and her journalist friends are actually “asking” to try to get an interview with Kamala and, so far, Kamala has, obviously, not agreed, they should be TELLING US that. They should be telling us that they are trying to get an interview, but are being denied. That is a story!! And, I don’t think it’s just a process story, considering the circumstances.
    11
  120. What did she say “I drink…. I eat ‘no’ for breakfast.” ? I think she meant to say “I drink for breakfast.” :)
    10
  121. Megyn, what about the issue of one federal judge in one state issuing a TRO that is allegedly to have national effect?
    10
  122. It’s totally weird to have the guys sitting in the wrong seats. :)
    10
  123. AND, Moynihan, please note - Zelenskyy did not start the press conference with ANY gratitude to Trump or to America at ALL! And when JD pointed that out to Zelenskyy his lack of expressed gratitude, Zelenskyy should have done the smart thing, and express his gratitude right then! Instead, he just said “we have thanked America multiple times”, or words to that effect. Again, this wasn’t a language issue, this was an issue of Zelenskyy’s attitude.
    10
  124. We need more Democrats like Dan Turrentine. He is so rational!! I’m fine with him seeing the world differently, and having different opinions, but he isn’t insane!
    10
  125. Really not interested in what Gary V had to say - I really didn’t get the point of the segment, frankly. Was the whole idea “think positive”?
    10
  126. @ At this point in our lives, selling and moving would be an extreme burden. And, it certainly isn’t a great real estate climate to sell a property that warrant a $1,000,000 plus purchase price. If we didn’t already have this ranch property, we would have left California. We actually have a total of 40 acres, including 20 unimproved acres.
    10
  127. @ Ah, thank you!! I hate hypocrisy. :)
    10
  128. LOVE VDH!
    10
  129. I think that the Trump and Elon conversation was good. It does bug me a little when Trump goes on and on, but I have that same thing with my husband (“get to the point, honey”), so that might just be me. :) That’s how Trump talks. And I really like it when he speaks casually like that - that’s the best Trump, the one that seems more personal and you really hear what he thinks.
    10
  130. I’m old enough to remember how funny Johnny Carson was when he hosted the Tonight Show. And, he did it without being insulting. Poking fun at someone is completely different from mean spirited and insulting. I don’t understand why anyone thinks that Jimmy Kimmel is funny.
    10
  131. What do you mean, how DW treated Brett Cooper? I haven’t seen any factual reporting on that at all.
    9
  132. ⁠ @canonrivette So, please elaborate. What did he mean, and what is the source for that information?
    9
  133. What happened to Tim Hogan? Get too hot for him? :)
    9
  134.  @LincolnRose10  And Dave Rubin is an intelligent human being that actually wants to talk facts, not just ideology.
    9
  135. And keep in mind also that, when we were a fledging country, we didn’t have the social programs for immigrants like we have now. Immigrants of the past had to come here with skills so that they could take care of themselves. A baker would come and start baking bread to sell to feed his family. A tailor would come and start making clothing to sell to feed his family. And so forth. Now, we hand out hotel rooms, food, health care, drivers licenses, etc. Completely different picture, and completely different incentive structure.
    9
  136. I don’t think that it matters how much NPR costs. The problem is that it is partisan, and is funded by our tax dollars. I will guarantee you that NPR has NO Republicans in the talent or otherwise on the payroll. Further, when NPR was started, the media landscape was completely different than it is now. There is no need for the federal government to be funding its own media platform - anyway, it already has the main stream media to do that for them, for free.
    9
  137. But, that very claim that Leticia James is making about the law in New York is precisely the issue that the Supreme Court is addressing as a result of that case that Dave Aronberg talked about. And the argument before the Court made it very clear that there is a legal difference between giving a normal child a puberty blocker to address precocious puberty and giving a “trans” child a puberty blocker as the beginning of the path to try to change their sex - the purpose for which the medication is given is the difference, and I think that the Supreme Court will decide that is a legal difference.
    9
  138. If that trans movie wins any Oscars, it will be the end of the Academy.
    9
  139. EJ and Rich are Megyn’s go-to’s for these breaking news shows. Perfect!
    9
  140. I think it’s great that Megyn had Katie Britt on, and I think that it’s great that Ted Cruz is there with her - seems like he is trying to help rehabilitate her. It seems that Britt is naturally a more emotive sort of speaker, so the way she delivered her comments after the State of the Union was probably just her natural way of speaking, and not theatrics. Good to know, since she seems quite intelligent and well spoken.
    8
  141. The commentators at the Daily Wire are independent - DW doesn’t control their content. That’s the difference. And Candace not being able to talk about the situation is a result of a contract she signed - there wouldn’t be any other basis for a gag order.
    8
  142.  @LincolnRose10  But we don’t have to listen to nonsense or give it a platform. An honest broker is a different matter. That wasn’t this guy.
    8
  143.  @MeganDelacroix  I don’t agree. When people say “reality” like that, they really mean “justification.” Like, if I have a principle that says “I am faithful to my husband”, but I find out that my husband hasn’t been faithful to me so I decide to cheat on him also, I might say “well, that’s because of reality”. I am actually using his actions as a justification to abandon my principles. Principles are only principles if you still keep them in the face of adversity. And, please note, I was speculating on Megyn’s thinking. I wasn’t saying I agreed with her.
    8
  144.  @queenofprops  I think my point still prevails. They were adults. They could leave.
    8
  145.  @danielwessel9884  It was also revealing how little left wing media wanted to talk about it. :)
    8
  146. And I also love how Kamala totally rearranges normal sentence structure “and I believe that we are a people who have dreams and aspirations”. Like she thinks that it makes her sound smarter.
    8
  147.  @Jzztherapy1  I don’t really think that is what turns people off to the Republican Party. People that are turned off to the Republican Party have a different basic ideology.
    8
  148. Kamala picked Tim Walz because she didn’t perceive him as threatening. She has no confidence and Josh Shapiro would have easily overshadowed her. Also, I read that Walz supposedly told Kamala that he would do whatever she wanted - he could be involved or not involved. Whatever she wanted.
    7
  149. In that CBS story about Hegseth that Megyn mentioned, where they reminded everyone of the sexual assault allegation at the end of the piece, I am wondering why they said he “secretly paid” the woman. Is that opposed to “publicly” paying the woman? What does “secretly paid” even mean? They are just trying to imply that it was underhanded or an admission of guilt. Terrible reporting.
    7
  150. It seems to me that a bar complaint was filed against Fani Willis, maybe by Ashley Merchant. Does anyone know the status of that proceeding? Because, she should be disbarred. I’m a retired attorney, and what Fani did in this case is disgusting, and she shouldn’t be allowed to continue to practice law.
    7
  151. She can’t even use a shovel properly! :)
    7
  152.  @americanveteran5295 He’s just a troll.
    7
  153. I think that what I am concluding from this legal fiasco is as follows - we have ALOT of laws in the United States. There are federal laws, state laws, regulations, ordinances, etc. IF the system wants to “get” someone, it is always possible to find some legal basis to do so. It is ONLY the ethics of the system and the attorneys and Judges involved in it that stands in the way of that happening. If the system, and the attorneys and Judges involved in it, decides that persecuting someone is more important than their ethics, I hope that the persecutors will be ready for their turn in the defendant’s chair, because that is coming.
    7
  154. Pete wasn’t in the active military when he cheated on his wives, I believe. You can’t hold him responsible for military standards during a period of time when he wasn’t in the military. His personal shortcomings in that way should not be disqualifying.
    7
  155. @ Yes. I understand. But my husband is quite a bit older and not in good health. It’s just not an option for us. But we are lucky to have wonderful friends in our life that are also our neighbors.
    7
  156.  @lorielawson457  Yes. Drawing attention to herself only shines a light on things that she doesn’t want anyone to see. She stricks me as a very insecure person. And her campaign advisers don’t really know their candidate’s strengths and weaknesses.
    7
  157. @ I would like a link to that proof, because I never saw any proof of that.
    7
  158. Mark Halperin made an excellent point. The people that want to debate whether Trump won with a mandate or not, or exactly what mandate means and whether these circumstances meet that definition, are the same people that refuse to seriously consider WHY it was that Trump won, and they LOST! It’s like they are so busy rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic that they failed to appreciate the risk of the iceberg. It sounds like some of the arguments that I have with my husband, where we end up not really addressing the issue in dispute, but arguing about what the issue actually is. :)
    7
  159. What I noticed from Rachel Maddow, that beacon of good news reporting, was that she failed to mention the severe ratings drop that had occurred for Joy Reid’s show. Her being let go certainly didn’t have anything to do with that, did it?
    7
  160. Well, Ana claims that the Federal Reserve doesn’t get any of its money from taxpayers. I don’t think that is true. Just a quick Grok search disclosed some pretty significant categories of income for the Federal Reserve which could definitely adversely impact taxpayers. Further, after covering its operational costs, the Federal Reserve returns any surplus profits to the U.S. Treasury, and Grok says that this is a significant source of non-tax revenue for the federal government. So, in other words, to the extent that we can limit or eliminate any unnecessary programs that the Federal Reserve might be funding, that would result in more income for the U.S. Treasury that they wouldn’t have to get from taxpayers. Really hate when anyone, left or right, leaves out big chunks of facts because they don’t fit into their narrative.
    7
  161. I would have liked for Megyn to list the dates that these various interviews were originally done, just for our information.
    7
  162. I am curious to know how this story came out now, and whether the anonymous woman is talking to anyone.
    7
  163. I wish. There isn’t a way to make that kind of a civil claim. Bragg would have immunity for any such a claim. What needs to happen is for the people of New York to vote him out of office.
    7
  164. I didn’t quite get the idea for why Megyn had Charlemagne on. Maybe there is a part of her audience that is a C follower and is interested to hear him? I only watched a small portion of the C part of this show, but I have never found him to be especially smart or insightful on the issues of the day, and this was more of the same.
    7
  165. I love how Bannon described what the Trump administration needs to do, and how to do it. I am so excited to see what Trump is able to accomplish and how he goes about it. It would be wonderful to see immediate changes along the lines of why we elected him.
    6
  166. The problem is that the Judge allowed him to file it. So, that’s like a blessing.
    6
  167. Frankly, I am really surprised with Dave’s views on this Alito flag thing. He sounds really illogical and left wing biased on this. And, by the way, all of the Justices have their own private views of every issue that comes before them. That is irrelevant, and just having a personal opinion is not the basis for a conflict of interest claim.
    6
  168.  @chrisx2k6  What do you mean? When I checked it a few days ago, it said the same thing. And, it is still inaccurate - he didn’t “rise to” that rank. That rank was given to him provisionally, conditioned on continued service for two years and further training. It is either a direct lie, or intentionally misleading.
    6
  169. Plus, regarding Tim Walz’ lie about retiring as a Command Sargent Major - Walz also had that lie in writing in at least a few places, including the congressional challenge coin that he had made up. That is not “misspeaking”.
    6
  170. So, don’t enforce the law, because it will force criminals more into the dark corners? That woman on the CNN round table is ridiculous.
    6
  171. You can NEVER create a rule that is based on the exceptions. A rule that tries to anticipate EVERY exception results on NO rule at all. Rules are created to address the majority of cases and situations. That is what makes the rule fair. And, if a person with a highly rare DNA aberration ends up not being able to compete in sports, that is a small sacrifice to make. But, you have to make the rules very clear, so that everyone knows. That is also what makes the rule fair.
    6
  172. That practice seems so dumb. There are a lot of people that are bad at their job, but manage not to get fired, especially in government. That just means they were mediocre. They should not get credit for time of service, and should be held to the same testing standards as new people seeking to be hired.
    6
  173. Would love to see the Judge disciplined.
    6
  174. Is the decision about referring to the defendant as a “she” based on some specific California law that requires it? Because, that is insane. I don’t know how the Court would have the legal right to require that from the prosecutor. I hope that the prosecutor appeals that ruling.
    6
  175. I think his term ends this year.
    6
  176. Pete Hegseth sounds like a new Christian - I just found God in January of this year, and I sound very much the same. I’m all about Jesus! Fortunately, my husband and friends don’t mind. :)
    6
  177. Great show today! Lots of good discussion on a variety of topics. Always love the Fifth Column!!
    6
  178. I agree with Matt Welch. When someone stands up for something important, we people that agree with that person need to express that support, so the original person isn’t standing out there on his/her own. That’s how you show the right that the original person isn’t just a lone, injured gazelle that’s just there to be jackal bait.
    6
  179. @ Like I said, I think she is standing up for the ideal, the principle.
    6
  180. Asking the American people in a poll whether they oppose tariffs or are in favor of tariffs is like asking the American people if they are in favor of the Pythagorean theorem - they have heard the words maybe, but don’t really know what it is, or what it means. That’s a highly unreliable poll question that is going to produce results that don’t really tell you anything. The fact that Google searches for the word “tariff” are also through the roof supports this argument. But, I will guaranty you that doing a Google search for the word “tariff” won’t actually tell you anything about how tariffs really work, or how they can be used.
    6
  181. Tell that guy on CNN that was analyzing the polls that we would all like things to go back to “normal” - but I think we maybe have a different idea of what “normal” means than he does. :)
    6
  182. And she doesn’t just let people say things without actually explaining what they are talking about. I’m a retired attorney, but a lot of people need more explanation to understand the issues, and that’s great for her to do.
    6
  183. Love Link! He is so smart, and so clever, and really entertaining to listen to. I love Amala, but she is overmatched with Link on the show.
    5
  184. That black woman that is encouraging rioting over the manslaughter charge being dismissed is asking to be arrested. But, she would probably totally love that, since that might bring more donations that they can steal.
    5
  185. Actually, everyone in this country has the right to the freedom of speech, not just citizens. I believe that is based on a Supreme Court case that was decided long ago. The issue here, I believe, are the specific limitations/restrictions placed on people that are here on green cards or student visas, having to do with not supporting a terrorist organization.
    5
  186. I love what Batya said: “The supply of racist occurrences in this country is substantially less than the demand that the left is seeking”. (Paraphrased, but you get the point.). If this is the best that the left can do, we are obviously doing very well.
    5
  187. LOVE VDH!
    5
  188. Not a fan of Candace Owens. Too much attitude. I have liked some of the special short series that she did with the Daily Wire, like the one regarding George Foreman, since she did a good job on those, and it was very factual and she showed the proof. But I find her mostly too hostile.
    5
  189. Here’s the problem - even if you believed that climate change was a contributing factor to an increased risk of wildfires, you now need to tell us what extra precautions you took, or preparations you made, to mitigate that increased risk. Because all the left talks about is climate change, so it’s not like you didn’t already know about it. It’s like saying that I know I have a hole in my roof already, but blaming it on the rain when you get wet.
    5
  190. She is sweet, and I know that Megyn loves her, but I just don’t think she has a lot to contribute to the discussion. She has a gossip column type angle that I just don’t connect with.
    5
  191.  @Ἑρμητικός I don’t agree. They are just putting out the arguments. It is up to us to decide if we want to believe anyone, and up to us to fact check.
    5
  192. Great prospective, Megyn. This is an important election, because of how good it could be with Trump and his new team, and it would be a huge missed opportunity. But, it isn’t life and death, mostly. I have been telling my liberal acquaintances: if you vote for Kamala and she wins, I hope you are happy with the outcome. Because I doubt that they will be.
    5
  193. The All In guys are good guests. They have unique expertise and really contribute to discussions on topics that Megyn’s other usual guests can’t really address.
    5
  194. Dave Aronberg seems a lot more reasonable since he left his government post. :)
    5
  195. We are in a more rural part of Southern California. We can’t get regular fire insurance, and have to go through the California Fair Plan. CFP provides VERY limited coverages for fire damage or destruction. And, we can’t get theft insurance at all, just because we are in a manufactured home on a larger property.
    5
  196. Dude, it is lovely to hear what a small percentage of people are prosecuted that put false information on an application to purchase a firearm (assuming your statistic is even correct). But, you are missing the point. The DOJ prosecuted the gun application case because of the backlash that resulted from the DOJ trying to protect Hunter on ALL of the other crimes. Then they tried to use the gun case as a way to make a plea deal that would include all of the other claims also.
    5
  197. I really like Steven (Redsteeze), but am wondering what happened to Dave Marcus? He used to match up with Stu.
    5
  198. Yes, I love the “first through the door” story - that is a leader!!
    5
  199. @ Maybe. That he is even going on Piers’ show makes him questionable I think.
    5
  200. Drew makes a good point - a lot of people didn’t like Trump, but voted for him anyway. If the Dem’s had run a more moderate Dem as their candidate, they might have won.
    5
  201.  @suegordon6805  Tulsi Gabbard?
    5
  202. What a great interview Bari did!! Mike Johnson is the right speaker for this point in time.

  203. Maybe for Mother’s Day!

  204. So, RJKJ got flake from his wife and her sister, and that caused him to change his position? OMG And he says that no woman gets pregnant and then waits until she is full term and then decides to get an abortion. He says that almost never happens. To which I say “well, good, then you won’t mind having a ban on it, since it hardly never happens anyway.” And, when we are talking about killing a baby, one is too many.
    4
  205. The Kamala campaign website says that Walz “served for 24 years, rising to the rank of Command Sergeant Major.”
    4
  206. Nicole Shanahan is really not interesting to listen to. She has a very listless affect and seems to repeat herself a lot. And I don’t find her contributing much to the discussion.
    4
  207.  @woodall1111  I don’t agree. I like to hear different rational arguments, that are based on facts. A dishonest broker doesn’t inform us at all. Unless, of course, this is the best that they have. Which I doubt.
    4
  208. Charlie Kirk is so spot on with his views on college. I didn’t go to college, but I am an attorney. I studied law under an internship type program that is allowed by the State of California. Since I didn’t have a college degree when I started the internship program, I took a college equivalency test instead. So, you can even become an attorney without going to college.
    4
  209. If that’s what you see, maybe it says something about you. :)
    4
  210. Part of what Trump said about the Panama Canal is that Panama wants the U.S. to contribute billions of dollars to repair the Canal. So, understandably, Trump is saying, “heh, if you can’t afford to maintain it yourself, just give it to us.” Also, by the way, it’s like if you pay someone to rent a car from them, and then they want you to pay for the repair of the car. No, I just rent the car from you. It’s up to you to maintain it.
    4
  211. I want to know when the shooter left Hawaii and when he arrived in the US. If he left Hawaii, arrived here, and went immediately to the golf course, that seems like he had inside information that Trump was going to be there that morning. If he left Hawaii some days ago, what has he been doing since he arrived here, and was he maybe staking out the golf course for repeated days when he knew Trump was in town? These are all questions that law enforcement should be easily able to answer.
    4
  212. I already loved Megyn, and saw her as such an honorable, truth based person. And I had heard that there were past issues involving Ayles and Fox, but didn’t hear the details until now. My respect for her has, as a result of this interview, grown immensely. She is so intelligent and thoughtful in her thinking and decision making, and has such a clear perspective on things that isn’t clouded by a personal agenda. Well done!
    4
  213. Another common filler - “what we do, in terms of…”. It’s like she is waiting for her brain to kick in, but she just can’t stop from talking in the meantime.

  214. Same question, DIFFERENT answer. That’s the point. It isn’t a shorter clip of the same thing that they had shown as the teaser. It is DIFFERENT.

  215. MBD makes a good point - it is astonishing that the Kamala/Walz campaign thought that the video of Tim Walz trying to load a gun actually looked impressive, and should be published. Or, maybe that was the press there doing the filming, so they didn’t have a choice? In that case, the campaign should have had the sense to have him practice first?

  216. Charlie, those same women that say “I don’t need a man to take care of me” were absolutely swooning when they saw Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, opening a door for her. Women instinctively and inherently WANT to be taken care of and protected. They have just been taught to think that is the equivalent of being weak, and somehow makes them less than a man.

  217. RJKJ may be a lovely man, and it seems that Megyn has some regard for him, BUT he is way too wishy washy for my tastes. I want a candidate that researches, considers the facts, and make a decision on his position. Not one that changes his position on significant core issues over a span of a few years. That indicates either that his initial position wasn’t well thought out, or he is too easily influenced and persuaded off a position that he has already decided on.

  218. Did you see those ridiculous red socks that the Governor of New Jersey was wearing, and those pants that were way too short? He totally made the whole thing up, to try to give himself some artificial swagger. :)

  219. Why are so many employers emphasizing this idea of “bringing your authentic self to work”? When I was the managing partner at a law firm, I wasn’t interested in my employees’ “authentic self” - I wanted people to come to work on time, work hard, and concentrate on doing their job well and efficiently during the work hours I was paying them for. They could be their “authentic self” during their non-work hours.

  220. I don’t think Andrew’s premise is correct - I don’t think there is pressure on women to “be with somebody”. I think that the social pressure nowadays is to NOT be with someone - to play the field, don’t commit to one man, free sexuality, etc.

  226.  @jake1776  But refusing to give ANY media access would not be right, wouldn’t you agree? So maybe the best position is somewhere in the middle. And please note I was speculating about what Megyn was thinking. I did not agree with her.

  227. All Kamala does with questions (1) thank them for the question (2) restate the question in different words, saying how important the question is and (3) try to pull out some little memorized bit of inanity from her brain that might be at least tangentially related to the subject of the question. Yes, she definitely seems like Presidential material.

  229. I think that Geragos said that the Melendez’ brothers weren’t allowed to have a jury instruction on the legal issue of their defense, which would have given the jury the rules for how to consider the evidence and how to evaluate it. Even if the evidence was allowed to come in, as the DA contends, without a jury instruction the jury wouldn’t have had instructions on how to deal with it.

Moreover, how can this satisfy due process if the “unlawful means” isn’t specified in the indictment? How is the defendant supposed to be on notice of what he is defending against?

  240.  @BlyGuy  It sounds like you just don’t like Jeremy, so you are happy to twist anything you hear into narrative that supports your preconceived opinion. That’s fine. I understand now. I thought you might have some actual facts, and I was interested in hearing those.

  241. @ I’ve seen some gossipy stuff, but nothing with actual facts. Like some people just assume that DW was mean to her.

  245. Here are two main problems with “fact checking” during a debate. First of all, it interrupts the flow of the debate and inserts the moderator into the process too much. You can end up with a moderator doing an alleged fact check, and then the candidate disagreeing with the alleged fact check, etc. Just wastes time - we want to hear from the candidates, not the moderator. Second, the alleged fact checks are not necessarily accurate. They can be biased and lean one direction or the other. Also, it is difficult to correctly fact check something that isn’t a truly factual statement (like with Trump saying “we had the best economy ever.”). That’s just hyperbole, but they still try to fact check it. And, again, it just inserts the moderator into the debate with too heavy a hand, and takes time away from the candidates.

  247. It used to be that the death of an adult child really didn’t have any lawsuit value for the deceased’s parents. Absent special circumstances, like the adult child was the sole support for the parents, or the adult child worked in the parents’ business and was an integral part of it, the parents really wouldn’t be able to recover much money for the loss of the adult child. Even punitive damages seem questionable when these parents had so little relationship with their adult child. How did they possibly suffer from this loss?

  250. I don’t understand how anyone, even anyone on the left, can complain about what Tom Homan and ICE are doing. First, they are deporting people that broke into our country, and then committed another crime while here. Second, they will be deporting people that already had their due process through their amnesty or other immigration claim being adjudicated and decided against them, but they haven’t complied with the court’s ruling and are still here. If you have laws in place, but don’t enforce them, they mean nothing.

  251. Even though I am a Ben Shapiro and Daily Wire fan, I was willing to listen to what Candace had to say, until she played the “my grandfather was a sharecropper” card. That has nothing to do with the issues being discussed, and is just a “feel bad for me, I’m black” thing.
    3
  252. It is true that you wouldn’t normally have a witness testify about what the law is - that is for the Judge to determine for inclusion in the jury instructions. However, when the area of law is so specialized that a regular state court. Judge wouldn’t have any education or experience in that area of law (like tax law, maritime law, etc), it makes sense to have an expert testify regarding the applicable legal standards. Especially when “intent” is a part of what the prosecution is alleging.

  258. Dave Aronberg said that other countries have birthright citizenship, and gave the example of Canada and Mexico. I just did a quick search on Grok, and Grok says that Canada DOES NOT have birthright citizenship in the sense of granting citizenship automatically to anyone born within its borders. Instead, Canada follows a policy where citizenship by birth is granted if at least one parent is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident at the time of the child’s birth. So, there are conditions that apply. I’m not saying that Grok is a good source, without further research, but it makes me skeptical of Dave’s claim, and this would need further research to verify what he alleges. And, as far as Mexico, Grok says that Mexico does have birthright citizenship, but so what? They don’t have any social benefit programs anywhere close to what the U.S. offers, so I doubt that pregnant women are flooding to Mexico to have their babies.

  265. I haven’t been in the military, and I don’t really have any family members that were, but Walz stolen valor nonsense really pisses me off. He lied repeatedly about his military service, carrying weapons into war, and his retired rank. When he is called on it, he claims that he just misspoke because he isn’t very smart, and his school teacher wife told him so. So, even assuming that he is just an idiot (and that’s just what we want for a VP), and misspoke, he should have corrected the record IMMEDIATELY after he said it! He DID NOT do that! And, now that it has resurfaced yet again (as it did when he ran for Governor), he STILL refuses to make a clear statement of what the actual truth is, and refuses to apologize for lying!

  267. On the issue of RFKJ being in the debate - Bongino said that he thinks that RJKJ has a right to be in the debate. I would go one step further - I think that WE, the American people, have the right to hear RFKJ in that debate. It makes no difference whether or not he has a chance to actually win the election. The American people have the right to vote for whichever candidate they prefer and, to help them make that choice, they have the right to hear from all of the candidates in real time. Frankly, I would put Jill Stein and Cornell West on the stage also. More information is better.

  268. Maybe Elon doesn’t think that it is his place to criticize how China runs their country. You do see this same idea with other countries where they have restrictions on free speech. If the government tells him that certain things aren’t allowed on X in their country, he has said that X will abide by the laws of that jurisdiction. I have seen that Elon has challenged some of those restrictions in the courts of that country, but he also abides by the rulings of those courts. He is critical of the U.S., and is helping Trump identify and remedy some of our issues, because he is a citizen of the U.S. and wants his, and our, country to be better.

  269. What’s really great about Josh Shapiro’s reaction to Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” is that it was the first time that he saw/heard the clip, and he interpreted it the same way that all of us other humans did. Whoops. :)

  270. I think that, with your child, you would explain to them that it isn’t a question of trusting or not trusting them. The issue is that they are still children and don’t have the maturity to be aware of when they might be running into an unexpected risk or danger. To me, it is the same discussion whether your child wants to have privacy on what they do on their phone or computer as when they want to be able to go to the mall or another event with friends, without adult supervision.

  271. And didn’t McBride say in response “thank you Madam Chair”, when the Chairman is clearly a man? That should have been the end of it - tit for tat. That virtue signaling third party should have kept his mouth shut.

  272. Jim is intentionally missing the point of what Megyn is raising with him — he says that people should explore lots of sources for their news, and settle on a news source that they find to be reliable and truthful. Megyn is making the point that NONE of these MSM sources are reliable or truthful. They are NOT reporting the news. They are obsessing about trying to get the “border czar” detached from Kamala because the NEWS MEDIA is worried that it will hamper her election efforts. It is not their job to run political cover for a Presidential campaign. As Megyn said, if it’s just semantics, as Jim claims, then why is so much of media worrying about it? And, I find it very hard to believe that Jim hadn’t seen that clip previously, or was unaware of how many news outlets started focusing on this supposedly just “semantic” distinction.

  273. The Democrats trying to increase their voter base by trying to get illegal aliens to vote isn’t actually an attempt to destroy democracy. It is actually just an attempt by the Democrats to maintain and increase their power, and they really don’t care what happens to democracy on the road to that goal. Frankly, I think that is even worse.
    3
  274. The information on Walz that is on the official Kamala Harris campaign page says that he “served for 24 years, rising to the rank of Command Sergeant Major”. Why won’t Walz just directly address it? I am sure that he has some official paperwork that shows his rank information as of when he retired. And, this seems like a real issue that, if we are wrong, would be easy for Walz to resolve in his favor.

  275. It is easy for the left to celebrate support from the Cheneys because the left, to a great degree, doesn’t base their opinions on principles, they base them on ideology. If you support their chosen ideology, they are happy to have you, even if your underlying principles are in conflict. It’s like “the results justifies the method.”
    3
  276. Charles - Here is the difference. The rioters from the summer of 2020 WEREN’T arrested or prosecuted and, therefore, DID NOT serve any time in prison. The January 6 protestors that entered the Capital WERE arrested, prosecuted, and have served time. None of them killed anyone. And the sentences that they did receive were excessive by any reasonable standard. It was overall a politically motivated prosecution, and it is not reasonable to have these people be unfairly punished just because the Dem’s hate Trump.
    3
  277. Seems to me that Neely had previously been actually sent to a rehab facility, as a result of some prior arrest, but they allowed him to leave after just a short stay. The system totally f’d this up, and allowed it to fall on Daniel Penny to clean up the mess.
    3
  278. Even if they let one of the air traffic controllers leave early, why wouldn’t they call someone else in to cover that empty spot. They certainly must have employees that are on standby for such a situation. And I’ll bet that there is a written protocol that requires that there are certain number of controllers on duty for a certain level of, or types of, air traffic.
    3
  279. What was amazing to me about the Trump interview on Meet the Press was how Kristen Welker managed to have a whole bunch of challenging and interesting questions for Trump that didn’t just let him recite talking points and spin a narrative. The press must have just learned how to do that, since that’s not at all what they did with interviews of Kamala Harris during the campaign.
    3
  280. To add to what VDH was saying about chemical use in growing food, you also have situations like the use of Round Up for weed control in farming. When that first started, people had to be careful how they used the Round Up, because it would kill everything, and they couldn’t have it kill their crops, But, then Monsanto develops a type of seed that is resistant to the affects of Round Up, so they the farmer doesn’t have to be so careful and can get the Round Up spray on their crops, and it won’t kill them, if they use the resistant seed. You end up with all of these chemicals being passed through into the crop, and then we eat it.

  281. That initial Syrian prisoner video looks totally fake to me. Why would the guard have to shoot the lock off - they don’t have a key? And why would he even be willing to do that? I noticed how clean the cell looked - this guy is locked in here, with a lock that they apparently don’t have a key for, and the floor is all nicely swept?

  282. I think that Dave looks at these interviews more like “conversations”. It isn’t his intention to call out the guest.

  283. Well, reducing regulation isn’t to blame for Big Pharma having such a huge influence on the FDA. Also, a certain amount of regulation is needed when we are talking about drug standards because the average person doesn’t have the ability to determine what a drug will do for or to them.
    3
  284. And, Eliana, it is also weird that this editing of interview answers only goes one way. Assuming that the short Kamala answer and the long Kamala answer were actually both a part of her answer to the same question, they edited the answer, when 60 Minutes ran it, to make Kamala look BETTER. But, when the other news organization edited Mike Johnson’s answer, it was to make Mike look WORSE. It is ALWAYS to help the Democrats and hurt the Republicans. Don’t they know that we can see this?
    3
  285. I don’t think there is really any good reason not to reveal the name of both the accuser and the accused. Megyn is right. Someone that sees the story might have information that is material to EITHER the prosecution or the defense. Certainly sexual assault is a very personal crime, and very difficult for any legitimate accuser to go through a public disclosure like that, but the potential for false accusations against the accused is also very difficult, and the repercussions of a false claim never seem to end.

  286.  @ronniekregar3482  I don’t recall this officer saying he was physically attacked. In fact, I don’t recall Piers or anyone else asking him actually where he was stationed, or what he encountered. Maybe he was one of the officers who was ushering the protestors inside.

  288. Okay, this person in the British classroom film clip, was a woman, now has allegedly transitioned to be a man, but now it turns out he is a gay man? So, he’s still just a woman that likes having sex with men? Hasn’t anyone pointed this out to him?
    3
  289. That Harry Enton poll about Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration isn’t really an indication of what people think about Elon Musk. If anything, it is a measure of how effective CNN and similar networks have been with their disinformation campaign against what Elon is trying to do with DOGE. Also, by the way, this is PRECISELY what America voted for when it voted to elect Trump.

  290. If, in Kamala’s first interview, it is joint with Walz, and she leans too heavily on Walz to cover for her, or to assist her in the interview, that is going to look terrible for her! She wants to be President, but she has to bring her “dad” with her? Good grief.

    3
  293. It’s not even like Kamala would have to be able to think on her feet, if she is asked to explain her reasoning that caused such radical changes in her prior expressed policies. She has plenty of time to memorize an answer for each of those changes. Of course, a real journalist would ask follow up questions, and that might cause Kamala some problems, since her memorized answers are BS anyway. :)

  294. Lawyers that behave like that CNN attorney, lying to the Court and using dishonest tactics, are precisely why people generally have such a bad opinion of attorneys. This pisses me off! I am a retired attorney, and the obligation of honesty to your client and to the Court is paramount. I would NEVER have sacrificed my own ethics just to make a client happy.

  295. Megyn’s voice sounded a lot deeper in the old days. :)

  300. I do understand that the US is, in many countries of the world, having to compete with China’s presence, and China’s “belt and road” initiative can be very appealing if you are an impoverished or struggling country, so you weigh it out and decide not to worry about the strings that come attached to any help that China gives you. However, the ridiculous-sounding things that USAID has been funding don’t actually benefit the infrastructure or the possibility of improved prosperity for the people of those countries. Instead, they are just left wing ideology nonsense. Frankly, they sound a lot like the crap that so many of our universities have been teaching.

  303. I have a question - the Biden/Harris administration created a lovely app, called the CBPOne app, to help illegal aliens (yes, I’m still calling them illegal aliens) get into our country. So, why haven’t they created a FEMA Relief App to make it easier for our own citizens to apply for relief, at the time when their lives have been devastated by a natural disaster?
    2
  304. I don’t see how a claim like “the Covid vaccine has saved millions of lives” can be reliable. It is asserting a negative that can’t be proven. Statistically, how can you prove how many people would have died of Covid if they didn’t have the vaccine?
    2
  305. I wouldn’t feel so badly about Biden pardoning Hunter if, as a result, all of the Dem’s that had lauded him as a patriot for standing up for justice had totally turned on him after the pardon. Call him a liar. Say so disappointed you are in him. Etc.
    2
  306. The main stream media can’t credibly convince anyone that they didn’t know. Moreover, none of them acted like journalists! Whether or not they knew for sure that Biden was having this level of difficulty, they didn’t investigate, they didn’t question, they didn’t inquire, they didn’t express concern - all they did was make fun of people that DID do those things. Their credibility is gone!

  307. That high speed rail debacle is ridiculous. Our tax dollars going to things that we don’t need and won’t ever benefit from.

  308. Just FYI - I think that the Governor of Ohio did a press briefing where he said that all of the bomb threats were hoaxes and that the calls came from outside the country. All Dana Bash would have to do is actually act like a journalist and do her research and investigation (I guess she probably has people to do that sort of thing for her) before making ridiculous, unsubstantiated allegations against anyone. What a joke that woman is. She should be fired.
    2
  309. Yes. And, on the one hand, he says “well, it’s such a small part of the population, so the Republicans shouldn’t worry about it” but, on the other hand, trans people (who are such a small part of the population) needs these protections, so they can feel safe.
    2
  310. I wonder if they will refer to Walz rank at all, when they introduce him at the DNC? That will be interesting. They certainly can’t use the fake rank, because of all the news stories about it, but they can’t use the true rank either, because that would be an admission that he has been lying about his rank.
    2
  311. Here’s the thing - Trump certainly won’t discriminate against anyone based on their race, sex, sexual orientation, or trans identification. But, he’s going to hire people that are loyal to him and to his vision of the United States, like any President does, so there might end up being a good group of people that fall into the alternative lifestyle group that would not come with that requisite loyalty.
    2
  312. I don’t agree with Moynihan, about whether Trump should go on 60 Minutes. The problem is that 60 Minutes won’t air anything that makes Trump look good, or makes their interviewer look bad. So, even if Trump records the interview himself, and releases the clips that 60 Minutes doesn’t air, no other than Trump supporters will ever see them. But, the selectively edited clips that 60 Minutes actually broadcasts will actually be used in main stream media to try to make Trump look bad.
    2
  313. Here’s the thing - the left still just doesn’t understand. They have been selling this identity politics stuff for so long (since Obama), and it was working before, and they don’t know how to change gears. What’s great is that it shows they are totally out of touch with the American people.

  318. Batya makes a good point - Kamala wants to act like you have to treat these foreign leaders like crap (Batya didn’t use that word), and that’s some sort of proof of how tough you are. But, acting like that with Russian only cuts off diplomatic opportunities. On the other hand, Kamala and Biden think that the answer to the resolution of the conflicts in the Middle East IS diplomacy, so they are sweet as pie with trying to buy off Iran and all of the other bad actors in the Middle East. This administration just has no clue with how to handle foreign affairs.

  319. When I heard that Walz had been selected, I wondered how the main stream media would spin him, considering all his terrible extreme left positions and the extreme left actions he has actually taken in Minnesota. I wondered whether and how they could lie about Walz and intentionally ignore his record and positions. Then I found the clip on X of George S that Megyn showed - this is just Round 2 of “Biden is the sharpest he had ever been…”. They will continue to carry the water for the Dems until they are exposed and humiliated again, just like in Round 1.

  320. The only point that Arthur Aidala is actually making when talking about the Menedez case is that you are never going to get consistent results for the same crime. Because, the facts of every crime are different and the juries, judges, attorneys, and defendants in every case are different. All we can really do is make certain that the law is consistent for every defendant.
    2
  321. So, Kamala actually always liked the border wall idea, but she is just upset because Trump didn’t get it all built? Well, let’s see the clips where Biden and Harris praised the border wall that Trump started, and where Biden and Harris pledged, on day one, to keep building that border wall. No? No clips? And, I guess since they sold off the border wall components for scrap, it’s too late now? What a liar.

  324. Good on you, K, for trying to have a reasonable discussion with Youssef, but he didn’t want to have a reasonable conversation, and did everything possible to avoid it. Q: “What would you have done instead?” A: “Something else.” And, Youssef’s tactic of constantly using sarcasm, instead of genuinely answering questions, just shuts down any discussion. And that seems his mission.

  325. Look, there are alot of people like Stephanie Rouhl that will vote for Kamala just because she isn’t Trump. And, I guess that’s fine for them, although I think it is a ridiculous way to make a decision. BUT, there are ALOT of people that need to know more , in order to choose Kamala. It is fair and reasonable to expect that any candidate will be candid and open with the information that those people need about the candidate’s policies and plans, so that those people can make a decision on that basis. ANY candidate that refuses to reveal that critical information should be looked at as a liar and a fraud, and not be trusted. And certainly not voted for. If a voter really can’t stand Trump, and won’t vote for him for reasons of personal bias, that voter should also feel comfortable not just randomly choosing Kamala instead. For heaven’s sake - vote for Jill Stein, if you agree with her plans and policies.

  326. Love Batya, but she needs to move her setup so that she is looking at US, and not at something off screen. I think maybe she is looking at her monitor so she can see Megyn, but she needs to be looking at her camera.

  327. The EO’s aren’t as certain for long term effect as a law, but they are great because they will give the American people the experience of seeing the effect of this way of thinking over a four year period. It really will help the anti-Trump people see that the reality of what Trump stands for isn’t really what the left wing media has been saying.
    2
  328. If Jim is upset about how people treat MSM, MSM only has to look in the mirror for why that is. It would be like the FBI being upset that the American people don’t trust them to conduct an above board investigation of the Trump assassination attempt, because the FBI says “well, we get it right most of the time.” When we know about the Hunter Biden laptop fiasco, and the FBI having Catholic churchgoers under surveillance, etc. When it is an institution that the American people need to be able to trust 100%, like the FBI and like the press, it doesn’t take many occasions of that trust being violated before the American people decide NOT to trust at all, until the institution proves to us that they are being truthful. And, when these institutions continue to make huge mistakes, which only seem to be tilted in one direction, and then they NEVER do a public mea culpa for those mistakes, you are going to have a very hard time getting our trust back.

  331. Joe, some Dem’s might say they think we should be kind and help these illegal aliens with free medical care, etc, and I do live in California. But I say, why aren’t they worried about being kind to the Americans that are already here? It is not kind to them, to deprive them of benefits and to demand that their taxes support people that are here illegally. If someone wants to be “kind” and give support to other countries, that is the perfect place for private charity, NOT for our government.
    2
  332.  @AlexanderBaar-zp4px  Agreed - Megyn can make most guests look good, but this was a tough one.
    2
  333. Megyn, here’s how we get huge numbers of illegal aliens out of the country, after the “committed a crime while here” group and the “already had an immigration hearing and lost” group. We make sure that the federal government, and the state governments to the extent that we can influence them, are not giving those illegal aliens ANY government benefits. Second, we crack down on employers that employ illegal aliens. Third, or maybe even before that, we start charging for remittances to send money outside the country. The more we make it financially unappealing for people to stay here, the more people will voluntarily leave.

  334.  @werocktheplanet  That’s not the point I am making. Each accuser’s claim needs to be individually evaluated. But the media has a tendency to act like, and report as though, all of the accusers are telling the truth.

  335. AOC’s slanderous statements about Trump make total sense, because she is a part of the ever-shrinking group of Dem elites that didn’t get the memo. Their nonsense is no longer appealing to the American people, and they don’t believe her anymore. Although I am surprised that she got reelected in this last election, I doubt that will happen again.
    2
  336. The “that’s a Nazi salute” thing is the same as the “fine people on both sides” things. They are intentionally taking something out of context and reporting it in an intentionally inaccurate way.

  337. I can’t understand that there is a man in existence that would want to publicly HIT a woman! I can see some self centered man that just wants to win be willing to compete against woman in a non-contact sport (although it is still disgusting that it would be allowed), but to actually HIT a woman, in public, for fame and a trophy?! When did that become something to be proud of, instead of to be ashamed of?

  339. Love to see Scott Jennings on that CNN panel now that Trump won - he definitely seems more energized and not so beaten down. And, as for Abby Phillip, why doesn’t she just let the woman panelist that made the comment about Pete Hegseth stand up for herself and the point she was making. Give me a break! It’s a whole panel of leftists, with Scott being the only conservative, and Abby thinks that this panelist has to be protected? That is disrespectful to the panelist, and the panelist should have told Abby to shut up, and that she would speak for herself.

  342. I have never understood why we changed our language from “illegal aliens” to “illegal immigrants”. Was it just not to hurt their feelings? Because that’s not a good enough reason. I still say “alien”.

  343. Trump was previously running against, essentially, a dead person. It makes sense that, if the Dems swap out the dead person for a live person, the live person would, at least initially, be more popular than the dead person.
    2
  344. Moynihan - This is a “day after” plan. By the time that anything along the lines of what Trump suggests is actually initiated, Hamas will be long gone. And, I don’t agree with you. Hamas is absolutely a spent force. You can tell that by their relative lack of hostile action just before the ceasefire, and the fact that they were even interested in a ceasefire. Also please note that Trump intends to bring economic and other pressure upon Iran, and that will make a huge difference to the support that Hamas receives from them.

  345. And, by the way, Kamala had to do that call with the Major of St. Petersburg on speaker phone, with video on both ends, for what reason? So she could USE it as part of her campaign! But, according to her, it is DeSantis that is politicizing the hurricane. Please.
    2
  346. Yes, the Judge included that language in the Order to prove a point - the point was that you and your girlfriend are complete liars! Unfortunately, the Judge didn’t have the guts to rule by disqualifying both you AND Ms. Willis, although that was warranted. I would pay money to see Wade or Willis come on Meghn’s show and have to address REAL questions with pushback when they lie and misdirect.

  348. It’s such a huge mistake - the more that Judge Merchan tries to hide evidence from the jury and the public, hide jury instructions, deprive everyone of public information, the more suspicious people are of his motives and the more his bias becomes apparent. If you really think you are doing the right thing, and serving justice, you should have nothing to hide.

  350. @ Well said!
    2
  351. I agree with you. The ladies didn’t mention Byron Donalds at all. I think he would be a good choice. He is a strong and confident sort of man, and he knows something about the inner workings of Washington, and that might help Trump. And maybe he would help bring some black female voters.
    2
  352.  @armonjohnson  Well, I think it is actually to Donalds’ credit that he hasn’t served in Congress for too many years. About black women, we would need polling on that, but I know that is a demographic group that typically has a problem with Trump. And he was in the Florida house before that. And he was nominated for speaker of the U.S. House, which indicates that he has credibility with his fellow House members.
    2
  353. I saw a story that NBC reported that said that, during the months right after Biden said in June that he wouldn’t pardon Hunter, Biden was openly talking with people in the administration about the possibility of a pardon, and actually admitted that he hadn’t decided whether or not he would pardon him, but that he had decided to tell the American people that he wouldn’t. In other words, I’m going to lie to the people, because I still want to be re-elected. And, it was over the course of that same period when KJP was being asked multiple times if Biden would pardon Hunter, and she kept saying “no”.

  360. For people that commented that they wished Trump would speak in more detail about his policies in response to Lex’ questions - that would personally be my preference also. But that’s the sort of person I am; I like detail. However, all of Trump’s policies are listed, in detail, on his campaign website, so the information is already available, if we want to read it. I think that Lex’ interview was more designed to try to understand the man more, not to examine his policies. The long form interview is a great format for this. I enjoyed it.

  361. Kmele, no matter what, Trump is going to be Trump. He isn’t JD Vance, and really can’t manipulate the question and pivot like Vance can.
    2
  362. Love this! Yes, they would feel so much better if they would just speak the truth for a minute. I take that approach with people that said they supported Kamala, and she was going to be such a wonderful President. Of course, they can’t say why. I would say to them, “look, just admit that you hate Trump, and would vote for ANYONE that wasn’t Trump”. You will feel much better if you just admit it.” But, nobody ever does. :)
    2
  363. Due respect to Dan but, when Kamala gets off the teleprompter, that’s when the real Kamala tends to come out and we get things like her telling people that shouted “Jesus is Lord” that they are at the wrong rally.

  364. Young people are confused to start with. They have a lot of uncertainty about themselves, and what kind of a person they are going to be, and how they get there. The people they look up to, including teachers, should be teaching and reinforcing NORMAL, not abnormal. If a young man turns out, in the long run, to be a more feminine sort of man, or even a gay man, that will sort itself in the long run. But, don’t lead them ALL down a path that just gives them things to grab onto that will cause them lifelong strife, at a time when they are not in any mindset to make logical or reasoned choices. It’s like taking a drug addict that is trying to kick his addiction and telling him “well, that was just because you were using heroin. If you try crack, you probably will be fine.” They are going to tend to grab for anything that they think will give them relief.
    2
  365. I will be interested to see how Vance handles the moderators, if their usual left wing bias appears. That could get him big points with the voters, I think, if handled correctly. For example, a moderator that gives Walz a soft ball question that is followed by a hard ball question for Vance - Vance could cleverly make a brief comment like “I’m happy to answer that question, but are you sure that you didn’t get the questions mixed up? Certainly you want to ask Mr. Walz about that.” :)

  370. Great discussion.
    2
  371. David says “I believe that, without immigrants, the country collapses.” Well, I’ve got news for you, we already have plenty of them. In fact, way more than we need. Especially considering the number of illegal immigrants that we don’t know anything about. We need to be thinking of immigration completely the opposite of the current administration - we should be thinking “what would be good for our country” and being choosy about who can come here - we only want the best. We should NOT be thinking “everybody come on in” or, as Biden put it “surge the border”.
    2
  372. I’m not sure that, if they replace Biden on the ticket, the main stream media will drop the question of “who knew what, when”, and will just move on to support whoever the successor candidate is. Because, unless Biden also steps down from the Presidency, his competency is going to continue to be an issue, and the MSM won’t be able to avoid the fact that they have been lying to the public, and everyone now knows it.
    2
  373. Didn’t ANY official at that school in Chicago say “let me see your ID” to those government representatives? Isn’t that something that every adult nowadays knows to do? If they had done that, they would have seen that they were USSS and not ICE. The left is just so emotional and hysterical that it prevents any logical thought process.

  374. @ If I was in his state, I would. They asked Megyn if she lived in his state.

  376. Kamala absolutely doesn’t care about the safety of ANYONE in this country. She says she cares about the people in these small towns, but she still shipped in tens of thousands of immigrants (legal and illegal), overwhelming the people in those towns and their public resources. She says she cares about the safety of women, but she still insists that those women have to let MEN into their bathrooms and other private spaces. She is a complete liar, and it is hard to believe that anyone is sucked in by this nonsense.

  377. Has anyone explained how it happens to be that Judge Merchan, sitting as a special Judge of some sort, is coincidentally being assigned to all of the Trump-related cases? When the normal system in that Court is random assignment.

  378. Zach seems like a lovely person, and I loved him in Chuck, and will definitely check out his movies. But, for some reason, I just didn’t find him very interesting to listen to. Maybe because he didn’t really have anything to contribute to the discussion of the issues of the day. Which is fine, because that’s not his job. I felt the same about James Woods, when Megyn had him on. He was fine, and I was interested to hear about his experience with the possible loss of his house, but beyond that he really wasn’t interesting to me.
    2
  379. Megyn, seriously? You think that the White House was trying to “undermine” these influencers? Like, are we thinking that they are just children?! They are podcasters and are responsible for themselves and their own content. You make it sound like we should feel like they needed to be protected? If that’s true, they shouldn’t be even trusted to have their own podcast I guess? This is silly.
    2
  380. @ If you have watched any of Megyn’s shows on this topic, you would know the answer already. Cute little troll. :)
    2
  381. Kmele - the prosecution of Hunter Biden wasn’t political. That’s the point that you are missing. Joe Biden is just saying that it was political because he isn’t used to he and his family actually having to be answerable for the illegal things that they do. It’s the same old “the law for thee, but not for me”. The prosecution of Hunter Biden was because Biden’s DOJ had no intention of pursuing any of it until it was uncovered by third parties and alternative media made it known, and the House committees raised a stink about it.
    2
  382. Okay, Jim is a B.S. guy. His after-the-fact efforts to try to recharacterize Axios’ reporting on the “border czar” issue are dishonest and disingenuous. Even the way that he is trying to do it - “okay, I wasn’t directly involved in that, but I will talk about it, since it is my company” - is ridiculous! It sounds a lot like the former USSS Cheatle trying to slough off responsibility for the shooting at Trump’s rally. I have to admit, though, that I am rather liking Megyn having on some people that I totally don’t agree with. It gives her a chance to push back on them, and help us see the truth. Also, I am learning a lot of watching Megyn deal with these people that she doesn’t agree with - she is polite, but direct.
    2
  383. Daniel Penny should be celebrated by everyone, especially the people in New York. There isn’t any evidence that I have heard that indicates that Penny acted recklessly or with any hostility at all. As to that video where some woman is saying “let him go” - we don’t know if that person just showed up on the platform and didn’t know what had happened previously, and just saw a white guy choking a black guy.

  384. ALL the press was just pretending to be surprised at Biden’s condition in the debate. They just realized they had been pantsed and were trying to save some of their credibility.

  385. I am wondering - are the people that thought, and still think, that the Covid lockdowns and wearing masks were essential for our survival the same people that believe that “gender affirming care” for children is appropriate and logical?

  386. Mike was a good guest. A lot of interesting things to say, and a different perspective than some of the other guests on Megyn’s show.

  387. It CANNOT be good enough to have a charging conference after both sides have rested. The time for Trump to be apprized of the specific charges against him was in the indictment. So he could properly prepare his defense. Otherwise, it is unfair surprise to a criminal defendant. How is a defendant supposed to defend himself when he doesn’t know what he is being charged with?

Like “I’m so sorry I have to ask you this, but you know what those evil Republicans out there are saying”. And when the Chief said “no, our focus has always been on saving people and property” (or something like that), Nora should have had ready the film clip from when the Chief was first appointed, where she said that her primary focus was going to be on adding lots more gay women. Good grief.

  403. Here is the bottom line. There are certainly birth defects and other deformities that male children can be born with that might make their physical appearance differ from their chromosomal sex, including lacking a penis. But, a woman isn’t just a man without a penis. The only consistent measure, regardless of what a person’s physical appearance might be, is a chromosome test. Relying on anything else is ridiculous, and entirely unfair.

  404. Here’s the thing, though, Charlie - if huge organizations like the New York Times and similar media actually pushed back on the threats to demonetize and deplatform their articles, if they allegedly “misgendered”, they would actually have the power to affect a change. But, they don’t want to. They seem to not mind surrendering to that ridiculous ideology.

  405. Pakman has a condescending attitude that is hostile and snarky. And, when Hogan says that 3 percent inflation is too high, Pakman starts implying that Hogan wants zero percent inflation, and then he starts attacking the straw man argument that he created. This is so dishonest. I am happy to hear from a leftist that doesn’t have Trump derangement syndrome and is actually interested in talking about the facts. But, this guy is not tolerable. And, I would like to know what this “finance” background is that Pakman claims to have.

  409. I think that Ashley has the wrong take on why Charlie Kirk talks about women getting married young, starting families, etc. She seems to believe that it is just for attention getting, and is similar to the crap that Andrew Tate says. But, Charlie’s angle has to do with his belief that the family structure is critical for the happiness of people and for the prosperity of our country, and part of what can result from a strong family structure is strong, capable, confident men - men that are the antithesis of Andrew Tate.

  410. A lot of those problems that Joe and Elon were talking about, concerning the programming of AI and how that would impact the logical conclusion that AI would reach from that programming, is that it seems a lot of the programming is based in ideology, not principles. Example with misgendering - if you program with the ideology that it is the worse thing ever to misgender someone, that leads to some crazy conclusions. But, if you program with the principle of freedom of speech, tempered by applicable law, the conclusions are more reasonable.

  418. I don’t like the idea of paying the illegal aliens to leave. It just seems like the kind of thing that could go really wrong, and would end up being manipulated by their home countries to make more money for the country, not the individual. Also, it would be a reward for breaking the law, and I don’t like the sound of that at all. It sends the wrong message. The message should be, “get the heck out of here because, if you don’t, you will be sorry.”

  419. When the people on the left blame Trump getting elected on misogyny and racism, it says more about THEM than it does about the country. This conclusion makes total sense to these people because they see everything through that kind of a filter. “If people don’t agree with me about how terrible Trump is, it must be because those people are evil.” When people like Eddie on left wing media say these things, I would like to have him state the factual basis for his statement. Of course, he can’t. It is just his own biases that cause him to reach that conclusion. And, by the way, keep on doing that, left wing media - your market is getting smaller and smaller.

  426. I would love it if just one of these “journalists”, that says that they are afraid that Trump will throw them in jail, would also say exactly what Trump said that made them reach that conclusion. They never do. They act like it is a fact, without making it clear that it is just their opinion (however irrational).

  427. I think I probably made this same comment on the episode of the original Bill Maher interview - Bill Maher dismisses the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story as being relevant to the outcome of the election. He says, basically, “for F’s sake”, nobody really cared about that and it wouldn’t have made a difference in the election results. Megyn gives him the poll stats to the contrary, and he still denies it. My point is that, if the Dem’s didn’t think that the story would cause a detrimental affect to the chances of their success, WHY did they cause the story to be suppressed? If it wouldn’t have mattered, why didn’t they just let the press report on it, and let the public comment on it, and not try to control the story? Because, obviously, it DID make a difference.

  429. To Scott’s point about the media and socialism - the media has nothing really to lose. They can jump on a socialism bandwagon, if that’s what people want to hear, because they know it will really never happen. The media can get people stirred up about the white supremacy notion, because it serves their liberal political purposes, and then move onto the next hot button.

The MSM’s lying to their viewers about Biden and his policies and capabilities has now become so obvious, and it is obvious that they have just been doing what their ideology dictates, and not reporting to us anything close to the truth.

  441. On the supposed racist prior post by the DOGE guy: First, the guy didn’t personally insult anyway, so Ro’s example of “if I had insulted a teacher when I was growing up, I had to be accountable and apologize” doesn’t apply. Second, the guy wasn’t a government employee when he did it - what is the “accountability” he is supposed to have for being a young guy saying something ridiculous? Does that mean, years later, when he has worked himself up to the point where he is tagged by Elon Musk to help straighten out our screwed up government, he is required to do some sort of a national apology? That is ridiculous. And, by the way, he was probably held “accountable” at the time when he made the post, in the way that accountability is reasonably applied to those circumstances - people probably commented back to him in a negative way, he might have been shunned or called out, he might have lost friends, etc. This elevated level of moral outrage isn’t called for. And it makes me want to ask these people whether they think we should delve into their pasts and expose all of the ridiculous things that they have ever said, so that they can be held “accountable” for them. This is exactly how I remember Ro Khanna from the Megyn Kelly interview. He seems so juvenile and soft to me, while appearing that he just wants to be reasonable.

  444. @ Grok says you are wrong. Here’s a little bit of Grok’s answer: No, the protections of the U.S. Constitution do not apply only to U.S. citizens. Many constitutional rights extend to all individuals within the United States, regardless of citizenship status, though the scope of those protections can vary depending on the specific right and context. For example, the Bill of Rights—particularly the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments—has been interpreted by courts to apply to non-citizens as well as citizens when they are on U.S. soil. The Supreme Court has consistently held that the government must respect certain fundamental rights for all "persons" under its jurisdiction, not just citizens.

If he would actually research into what happened during the Trump administration regarding transgender care for prisoners, he would find the same things that Megyn found. THAT’s why Kamala’s campaign isn’t making a big deal about it, Joe. They are actually smarter than you, but perhaps not by much. :)

  450. How could that CNN reporter be so dumb to not realize that what she was being showing wasn’t real? Has she never been in a Middle East war zone before? Or even seen something on the news of what these situations usually look like. And, Megyn is right - why is she speaking English to him, if she actually speaks Arabic?😊
    1
  451. I think that Trump was pissed that he had lost, and he couldn’t believe that it was true. I also think that the Dems changing all of the voting rules and local ballot harvesting, Zuckerberg ballot drop offs, etc., gave Dems an unfair, and possibly illegal, advantage. So, Trump was maybe thinking all of these people that came to the capital were also pissed off, and he identified with them. I’m sure he didn’t want them to hurt anyone, or to do anything extreme, but he also wanted them to be able to express their displeasure, so he really didn’t try very hard to stop them. I still don’t see any of what Trump did like an insurrection, and the Dems have totally exaggerated what happened, and the January 6 prosecutions are ridiculous and a huge miscarriage of justice. But, Trump definitely could have spoken sooner and more publicly and more strongly to shut it down. I think that is the basic argument.

  454. Megyn, you did an amazing job with Bill Maher. He is a smart man, and there is absolutely no reason that he wouldn’t already know the facts that you had to correct him on. Everyone knows that Hillary repeatedly calling Trump an illegitimate President - I’ve seen those multiple clips myself hundreds of times. And certainly he has access to immigration data, which clearly shows that Trump’s border policies were far more effective than the open border that Biden has put in place. Also, he says that Trump is a criminal, and you bring up the Hur report, which clearly says that Biden also broke the law, but they are choosing not to prosecute him, and all Maher can say is “well, you have your story.” I am thinking now that either Maher is too entrenched in left wing ideology that he refuses to read or see anything that doesn’t support that, or maybe he really isn’t as smart as I thought he was. This seems like intentional ignorance to me.

  455. That whole first campaign speech that Kamala did was so obviously choreographed. Whoever was in that audience must have been receiving cues as to when to say “Yes” or “No”, or “Laugh Now”. Ridiculous. If the American people are fooled by this woman, they are going to deserve what they get.

  459. Dave makes a good point - a woman in a bikini sitting on Gary Hart’s knee was disqualifying, but the many accusations against Clinton weren’t. And the public seems to have changed their expectations for what personal morals they expect from their politicians. However, with the main stream media being in control over so much of the narrative, what ends up happening is that any potential personal scandals involving Republican candidates seem to get full play, while personal scandals involving Democrat candidates are largely ignored (unless the Dem party has some other reason was wanting to get rid of that candidate, and uses the personal scandal as an excuse).

  460. Regarding what the female guest (sorry, I don’t know her name) said about Pete’s book allegedly saying that, if a man has sex with an unconscious female - if what she said was true, I guarantee that one of those Dem Senators in the confirmation hearing would have held up Pete’s book and said “I’m going to now read from chapter x, page x, of your own book, where you said ….” Like Senator Kane would have been all over that. So, this woman is either lying or has taken something out of context, or is misinterpreting something that Pete did put in his book.

  463. I thought that getting bail was a privilege, not a right. Like, the default is that you stay in jail pending trial, unless you make a good argument for why you have to be out. I have heard of arguments where people say they are the sole support for their family, or they have a business to run, etc. Diddy just wants to be out of jail. I can’t blame him for that, but doesn’t he have to have a good reason for being released on bail also?

  464. Megyn, I don’t see it as anyone is “making” Biden run again. You could see that wasn’t true by the initially shocked and honest reactions from the main stream media immediately after the debate - if they were on the “he’s going to run no matter what” train, they would have been prepared to cover for him. I think that it is more like trying to take the car keys away from your elderly father or grandfather. He doesn’t want to give them up and will fight you to keep them. What we do have, however, are people in his family who are not acting in his best interests by insisting that he step down - it also serves their purposes for him to stay in office, so they really aren’t trying very hard to get him to give it up.

I am a woman, but I still just can’t understand why so many women and men think that the issue of abortion, and trying to have a nationwide right to abortion, is the issue that preempts all other issues. Regardless of where you stand on the right to life, it is such a tangential issue, that won’t even impact more than 90 percent of us, and we have so many more pressing issues, like the economy, the border, foreign wars, the transgender issues, DEI, etc., that effect EVERYONE’s lives every single day.

If the amendment to the Constitution just wanted to give citizenship to everyone born here, there would be no need to add the “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.

  478. Sean is correct - the left’s idea of how we can all get along better is for the people on the right to just agree with the people on the left. This tails perfectly into the fact that the left now LOVES these former Trump officials and other Republicans who are now speaking about against Trump. That’s the left saying “we used to hate these people, but now we love them, since now they agree with us.”

  480. I think that Jesse is right about the Republicans not having the stomach for a mass deportation, and even Trump won’t actually do that, but it is largely because of the main stream media backlash that would result. However, I think that the main stream media’s influence has been failing, especially because of the terrible example of the past six months, and will continue to fail. If we can eliminate or substantially reduce MSM’s influence over the American people, that would make reasonable change more likely.

But, most of us need a balance that includes other things besides just trying to live longer.

  482. Also, I just noticed that, in the Stephanolous interview, Biden said that he hasn’t been examined by a neurologist. But, seems to me that, in today’s issues between KJP and the White House press corps, KJP said that Biden sees a neurologist every time he has a medical examination. So, another lie? Or, Biden doesn’t know or doesn’t remember?

  486. I have a theory that we are going to start seeing cracks in the facade that the main stream media has been putting up for the benefit of the Democrat party, and I think it is starting to happen. There was a clip over the weekend of Jake Tapper interviewing Cory Booker, and Booker was trying to portray the Kamala candidacy as a “new chapter”. Tapper came right out and said “New chapter? She is the incumbent Vice President. They wrote the whole book.” And he rather sounded pissed off, like he was annoyed at the BS. And Booker sounded shocked - he kind of lost his place on his talking points, and it took him a minute to get his footing. I think that we will keep seeing more of these cracks - I don’t know how obvious or frequent they will become, but I think that it is a sign of a turn in the tide.

  487. I love Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke as guests. Keep them coming, Megyn. They have a different perspective that we need to hear, and they add things to the conversation. There is no point in just having on guests that totally agree with everything that Megyn and most of her listeners believe. Although these two guys say things that I disagree with and that I find annoying, they seem to try to come from facts and not just personalities.
    1
  488. Megyn, I’ll tell you why the Dems can’t believe that JD actually just changed his opinion about Trump, with a little more maturity under his belt - because the Dems don’t evaluate (and re-evaluate) people based on their own individual merits. They evaluate people based on ideology and what particular intersectional box the people fit into. So, it really doesn’t matter to them if an individual person says that they have changed their thinking on something, because they are still in that same intersectional box, and the Dem ideology says they can never get out of it.

  492. David Sacks makes the point that Kamala is a pretty good intra-party knife fighter, the example being how quickly she was able to shift the delegates from Biden to her. But, here’s the problem with that thinking - Kamala wasn’t competing with Biden in an above board primary run. She was the only alive Democrat candidate that was available for the delegates to select. If she had run in a real primary election against Biden and other competing Dem candidates, that would be a better measure of her skills in that regard.
    1
  493. Megyn, the problem with the thinking, like your friend, that its okay if Biden is mentally incompetent, as long as his administration keeps doing what the friend likes, is that other countries don’t think that way. The U.S. President is viewed by other countries as the leader of our country and, if the President is incompetent, to them that means that our country is vulnerable and is not a power to be contended with. Our country is not just about its domestic policies.

  494. But, if Trump wins the election, Judge Chutkin would be trying the President Elect in a case that he will order his DOJ to dismiss as soon as he is sworn in, so it would make far more sense for Judge Chutkin to defer the trial until after the inauguration. Less chaos for the country that way also.

  496. When these celebrities come and speak in favor of, endorse, or even appear to support a candidate, they should be required to disclose that they, or an organization they are affiliated with, received payment from the campaign. To me it’s just like when you see advertisements for products, and a celebrity appears in the commercial, they are required to disclose (in the littlest print possible, unfortunately) that the celebrity was paid for their appearance on the commercial. Why would political campaigns be any different?

  501. Viva, they can’t force Biden not to run, and he will NEVER give it up voluntarily. Further, Biden has screwed up the country so badly by this point that no Dem is going to agree to step into that mess, since they will be blamed when they can’t fix it, and that’s a career ender.

  502. On the Daniel Penny case, I had read that the jury had to decide on the manslaughter charge first, before they could move onto the lesser charge. So, I am thinking that, in the jury instructions, they were told that they had to either convict or acquit on the manslaughter charge first and, if they acquitted on manslaughter, then they could move to consider the lesser charge. That was my impression. Retired attorney here, although my area wasn’t criminal law.

  505. I don’t think Merchan will put Trump in jail. I think that the Dem’s have realized that these criminal prosecutions have backfired, and jailing him would only make it worse for the Dem’s. A good indicator of this is the fact that, in the two recent state cases related to “election interference” (Arizona and Wisconsin?), Trump wasn’t named as a defendant. In the Arizona case, he was actually mentioned as an “unindicted co-conspirator.”

In fact, the best way for Riz and her group to use their right of free speech would be to schedule a different speaker that they believe would support their point of view. That way, students can attend whichever speaker they wish.

  510. Joe, agreed. The Dem’s plans often are under the “guise” of being kind and compassionate. And I am sure that a large part of the Democrat voters actually are kind and compassionate people, but, for the Dem elite, it truly is just a “disguise”. They are all about retaining and building power. And they want to get theirs before someone else does. What I can’t undertaken is how they can’t see that their power will mean nothing if the country is destroyed and pretty turned into a communist dictatorship. Of course, I guess in that world life isn’t too bad for the people at the elite level. It’s just the rest of the people, that are doing all of the working, living, and dying, that suffer.

  511. Although I hope that Nate does eventually see the light, it doesn’t seem likely. When Megan asks him how he can vote for Kamala considering the border issue and the trans surgery for children issue, and Nate’s response seems to be that he thinks that we get into “culture war” issues too much, that says it all. Culture war? Seriously? Good for him that he has taken a gambling urge and turned it into something else that is maybe more productive, but I found him really disconnected to the reality of the current campaigns and the important issues in this country.

  512. Tim, you’ve got it entirely wrong. If people that are struggling want to hear from people like the Obamas because this think that the Obamas actually care about and understand their struggles, they are delusional. They could not care less. They want a system of government that gives a lot of power to government and their elite class. They want rules that apply to everyone other than themselves. They DO NOT CARE about the little guy. Reference the “Joe the Plumber” story that Megyn told. They thought that Joe the Plumber and other people like him, that had worked their way up to success , had enough now, and needed to give up what they had worked for, so it could be redistributed to other people. That’s not how you have a successful, prosperous, or a happy country. All you need to do is not monkey with the system and try to put your thumb on the scale. People will rise and fall to the level that they work to achieve.

  513. Although I appreciate Dave checking on the judicial ethics commission decision that allowed Judge Merchan to handle this case, that is beside the point. The Judge has an actual conflict based upon his daughter’s business and fundraising for the Dem party, and he had his own ethical obligation to recuse himself. Further, if you truly wanted to make certain that you were pursuing a clean, fair case against Trump, Bragg and Merchan would have erred on the side of caution, and made certain that there wasn’t even an appearance of conflict. If Bragg had a valid claim against Trump, it shouldn’t have matter to Bragg if Merchan, or some other Judge, was overseeing the case.

  514. I don’t agree. A good chunk of the illegal aliens we have (I think like 1.5 million) have already had their immigration cases adjudicated and decided against them. They just need to be rounded up and returned to their country of origin. “Lawfare” won’t be effective to prevent that. And Trump knows how to make countries “willing” to take back their own citizens. Also, the effectiveness of any lawfare challenges to any other deportation attempts will depend upon the jurisdiction. Depending upon how Trump does it, the administration can choose what jurisdictions will be involved, to be mostly likely of not having interference from the courts. Keep in mind that we aren’t talking about new law - this is law that is already on the books, that Biden just chose not to enforce, or chose to interpret differently (through executive directive or regulation). And, if chosen cases have to go to SCOTUS, that’s fine, and those early cases will set precedent for all of the rest that will follow. That’s why they should get started right away, and with the strongest cases. Also, please keep in mind that the monetary costs of keeping illegal aliens in prison here are not the only costs - that legal of illegal immigration into our country is devastating for our economy and our safety in many ways. If Trump has to give foreign countries a stipend to persuade them, that is money well spent.

  515. It’s amazing to me that anyone at the White House thinks that the public in general still cares about what Biden might have to say. Also, it is so apparent that Biden (or whoever wrote that crap for him) is only concerned about a “tech oligarchy” when they aren’t on the Dem side. How can they be so out of touch, and not hear the hypocrisy coming out of his mouth?

  516. David, the Dems have been working this playbook for probably more than 20 years at this point. They have been slowly tearing down the country. It is ridiculous that the Republicans haven’t taken stronger action against it before now, I agree with you - but that is because the Republican Party has been mostly the rule-followers and not boat rockers. That is just our nature. We want individual liberty and small government, because we think that is best for America and its citizens. It would never occur to Republicans to USE governmental institutions to try to crank down a nationalist agenda on people. But, that is entirely the Dem’s approach - they LOVE big government, and have done everything they can to make it bigger and stronger, which results in government having more control over the American people. Also, working through the government structure like the Dem’s have is a very efficient way to deprive the American people of their rights, and to make wholesale changes which are not good for our country. You talk like, because the Republicans haven’t won elections recently, they should just shut up and let the Dem’s be in charge. The more you talk, the more you sound like a Socialist.

  521. I agree with Rich - foreign aid funds are used to a substantial degree as a way to promote our American ideals abroad. But, a new President gets to decide what those ideals are, that will be promoted with our money. Again, I saw, YOU LOST! I know it’s a shock, but you would better serve your constituents if you spent your time trying to identify someone to be the new leader of your party because, otherwise, you are done for the near future.

  522. I LOVE that, despite what the Dem’s have been trying to do to Trump through their lawfare approach to politics, it mostly hasn’t worked. The system that the founding fathers put in place has actually withstood this unprecedented assault on our country. It took longer than it should have, and has cost everyone money, and blood, sweat, and tears, but the system is still holding its ground.

  525. As to all these personal allegations against Pete, it is going to be very important how Pete handles that questioning at the confirmation hearing. I would suggest that he adopt an approach like “I have definitely made some not great choices in my personal life, and I regret many of them. But, I would imagine that many of the people in this very chamber have also made some not great choices and maybe even that they regret now. That has nothing to do with our ability to do our jobs.”

  526. I would like to see our immigration policies changed, first of all, to only accept people here that have some special to contribute to American prosperity. Not just people that want a better life, and hope they can get it here. They should stay in the home countries to work for change there. That’s how this country got to be as great as it is - we worked on it. We didn’t just leave when things got difficult. But, second, I think we still need to be careful that we aren’t just importing talented or skilled people from other countries, instead of working on our existing systems designed to educate and train people that we already have here. But, that is going to require a huge shift to merit instead of race/sex, and will take probably a couple decades to accomplish. That’s a lot of Republican Presidents! :)

  527. I totally agree with that, and it is disgusting that our government under Biden tried to force vaccinations on us, but then just lets all of these unvaccinated people from third world countries come on in. But, I think that part of the reason that Trump and his people aren’t talking about the increased risk of unvaccinated people is because the left would just say “oh, you’re right. So, now let’s spend billions more of our tax dollars to start a vaccination program for these people.”

  528. Here’s the problem - it wouldn’t be the boxers’ right to refuse to disclose their medical information if the IOC had a rule, across the board, that said that a DNA test would be required from EVERY athlete, and athletes would only be allowed to compete in accordance with whatever sex was disclosed by the DNA test. The rule could require the test, and the athlete would have to agree that the results of the test could be disclosed in the IOC’s discretion.

  529. I don’t think that we need to take everything that online commentators say “with a grain of salt”. What I think we need to do is do our due diligence about the people that we are going to follow and listen to, and don’t just blindly believe everything that we read online. We have to be especially wary of things that we read that are inflammatory sounding and that play into our established biases or beliefs. This is only logical and, before the explosion of the digital world, would be common sense for us. I wouldn’t stop and listen to some random person on the street spouting a conspiracy theory about something, and take it for the truth. We have to use the same discretion when we chose who or what or listen to online.

  530. Geraghty is right - Kamala could explain her flip flop, if she could actually articulate a logical thought process. And could disavow her prior positions, based on how much she has learned while VP (although she didn’t do anything, and I think it is rumored that she mostly played solitaire in her office). However, when she expressed these policy positions in 2019 and previously, she was so absolute about almost all of them. When asked “do you support decriminalizing sex work” she said something to the affect of “yes, I definitely think we should do that.” When she was asked previously about getting rid of private insurance and putting everyone on Medicare, she was so casual about it, like “yes, let’s just do away with it, and move on”. (Paraphrased - not an actual quote, but you get the idea). She was so high-handed and absolute with her prior positions that it would make it very hard to completely change her vote only five years later without sounding like her initial positions were not well thought out to start with. You can’t just completely change these substantial kinds of positions over a five year period unless your initial position was arrived upon out of ignorance.

  533. I would ask Ernest “don’t you realize that you are only on this show today because you are a gay black man?” Good grief. That’s what the left wants to do “why are you only talking about that?” And “why are we only talking about this now”, and so forth, instead of actually TALKING about the issue being addressed.

  534. Agreed. Congress approved all of this funding in the first place. That would have been the time NOT to approve, or to put restrictions on how the funding can and cannot be used. But that is impossible because so much of Congress has other interests that they are trying to protect.

  543. It seems to me that Lex is mostly asking Trump questions that might prompt thought provoking responses - a chance for us to learn things that maybe we didn’t already know about Trump - and then just letting Trump answer the questions. In the interview that Dana Bash did with Kamala, she teed up “questions” that didn’t prompt any real answers from Kamala, and the questions themselves almost presupposed the anticipated answer. Also, one 16 minute, highly edited interview by Kamala is quite different from the hundreds of interviews that Trump has done, with friendly and hostile interviewers.

  544. This issue of men pretending to be women, and going into a women’s spaces, doesn’t go the other way. Women are, by their nature, uniquely vulnerable to physical assault. And, we KNOW we are. We live a completely different personal safety life than men do. If we come out of a grocery store after dark, we have to be on constant alert for possible threats or risks in the parking lot, even in a usually safe neighborhood. Things that the typical man NEVER thinks of. There is absolutely NO reason that a man who has been living his whole life as a man, but is now pretending to be a woman, can’t either use the bathroom that he has been using his entire life to date, or use a gender neutral single stall bathroom.

  549. I agree with Duncan. All the terrible stuff that they have been saying about Trump for, literally, years now isn’t going to have any impact on undecided voters. It’s all baked into the cake. People already know all that crap. The “X” factor that will cause still undecided people to vote for Trump is going to be the policies - Harris policies vs. Trump policies. And the fact that Trump was already President, and did mostly a great job. And Harris is already part of a Presidential administration that is trying to ruin the country.

  550. I’m not a prude by any means, but I wish that Maher would have stopped using the “F” word in this interview. It doesn’t make your point automatically more true or stronger, and, frankly, it’s rude. You are talking to a woman. Also, for a man that is supposed to be intelligent, you would think he has access to other, non-curse words, that could express that he is trying to say. Also, I didn’t like how he tried to just dismiss Megyn’s opinion on multiple occasions - “that’s silly”, “that’s just the Republican talking point”, etc. Again, if you disagree, state so and explain why. It’s not an acceptable alternative just to insult the person. Although that does seem to be a typical leftist approach.

Any country should be able to say “We will be tolerant of your religion, if you are tolerant of our religion.” But, I don’t agree that Windsor Castle should feel compelled to have a Ramadan service.

But the Dem’s did pretty much everything wrong, other than doing a good job raising money. That’s part of the reason that it seems like divine intervention, to get Trump back in the White House. Good grief - he was a millimeter away from being killed! But God had a plan for him. Or at least to give him a chance at the plan. :)

  556. I don’t really think that its really that the pharmaceutical industry is evil - like they are intentionally or recklessly creating drugs that they know will likely hurt us more than they will help us. After all, those same Big Pharma executives use the same vaccines and other drugs that they develop for us. But, I do think that our medical culture has gone way too far toward the idea that there is always a pill to solve whatever is wrong with you. Big Pharma is a part of that culture, but also our medical professionals spur it on. Medical doctors will tell you that they had very little, if any, training on healthy eating and lifestyle as a part of their medical training. But, they get ALOT of training on what test to do and what drug to prescribe. After all, if doctors didn’t prescribe these drugs, including vaccines, then Big Pharma wouldn’t develop them, because there would be no market for them. I am so hopeful that RFKJ and HHS are going to help at least drag us back toward rationality on these issues.

Your delusion has been challenged and so you react like a crazy person reacts.

  559. I love Megyn, but I am not thrilled with this new sponsor, Kettle and Fire Bone Broth. I am a vegan, so that makes sense, but I also understand that everyone else isn’t. My main objection, apart from the issues that come from being a vegan, is that, in the ad copy, Megyn says that the broth comes from “free range bones”, as though someone is just growing bones in an orchard somewhere. The bones come from animals, living beings that we don’t need to use at all just to maintain our health. Calling them “free range bones” reminds me of things like calling meat in the store “pork” and “beef” instead of “pigs” and “cows”. An even better example is calling the meat “veal”, since some people might actually have a problem with eating a baby cow. It just distances people from the fact that these were animals, not just cellophane packages

  560. The desperation of the Harris/Walz campaign is so evident. They are just making things up about what they think Trump will do. They take a few words that Trump actually said, and then interpret what they say he meant by those words. Anyone that votes for this ticket will deserve what they get.
    1
  561. Megyn makes good point about Kelly’s comments. Kelly is saying that he is coming forward and talking about this because Trump has threatened to use the military against US citizens that don’t agree with him. This is an obvious tell about Kelly’s motives, and should be considered when evaluating his veracity, since Trump NEVER said that. He is taking a Dem talking point (which is not true) as being a fact, and using that as a basis for him coming out a revealing his views about Trump.

  564. Here’s the thing, though - I agree that the Press will flip flop again, back into Biden’s camp. But, there will be more and more incidents, including very obvious incidents, that put Biden’s cognitive problems on display for the world to see. Also, I suspect that we will have a significant domestic terrorist event prior to the election, and it will probably be linked to the illegal aliens that Biden has let into our country. In the face of that type of an incident, it will come home to people how insecure they actually feel with Biden in charge, and they will feel compelled to turn to someone else.

  567. I agree with Megyn. We have to keep the issues with the laptop in front of the American people. We have to remind them that Joe Biden lied straight out to the American people about it, so the next time that Biden makes some ridiculous claim, that happens to be in his self interest, the American people will remember the laptop and not be quite so gullible. We have to remind them that the Biden campaign worked with social media to suppress the true laptop story, so the next time that social media tries to orchestrate or suppress a crisis, the American people will remember the laptop and not just act like sheep, following along with the line they are being fed. These are critical issues for our liberty and our freedoms.

  568. It also says something terrible about Kamala and her operation that they either didn’t discover these issues with Walz prior to picking him as the VP candidate, OR they knew but thought that they could cover it up and the Press would help them minimize it. It is either mass incompetence or obvious attempts to manipulate the information available to the voters.

  570. Megyn, I hope you are questioning whether it was a good choice to have Pakman on. I just can’t believe that he just said that the fact that the DOJ is prosecuting Biden’s own son is an indication that they are unbiased and the prosecutions against Trump aren’t political. Please!!! The DOJ was forced to prosecute Hunter. It was only after the whistleblowers revealed what was really going on that the DOJ pursued it. And, even then, the DOJ tried to get an unprecedented plea deal done, for Hunter’s benefit, and they were caught in the act by the Judge. Pakman is entirely dishonest, and isn’t even a good representative of Dem positions. Or, maybe he is the best that the Dem’s have to offer? I hope that’s true, because that makes them incredibly weak.

There are alot of disgusting people in this world, that do things that I would never imagine. But, I don’t see how that is really my concern. I am more interested in the safety and prosperity of our country, and in living my own version of a happy life, and those issues are more important to me.

  572. If Kamala’s campaign is going to use the “I’m a tough prosecutor, and I will prosecute the case against Trump”, that’s not going to work. First of all, Trump has ALREADY been prosecuted over and over again, and most of those prosecutions have been shown to be shams. Second, all of that angle at Trump is already well known to the American people, and mostly people are tired of it, and it isn’t persuasive to anyone anymore. And, frankly, it seems an obvious attempt to change the subject from the terrible policies that the Biden/Harris administration have put into place.

  574. I think that Trump did a great job at that NABJ event. He stayed calm and didn’t take their crap, but was still polite. It seems so obvious that Rachel Scott was trying to make Trump lose his cool, so she would get a great clip that she could sell to Kamala for her campaign. And, if Ms. Scott is the best example that they have of a “black journalist”, that’s pretty disappointing.

  575. To add to Larry’s point about the border bill - it seems to me that the Biden administration didn’t even try to put together a “border bill” until at least 2 1/2 to 3 years after Biden took office, after it became apparent that Biden’s urging for people to “surge the border” had resulted in a level of immigration that most voters did not like. Also, the House passed HR2, a border bill, as almost their first piece of legislation, I think in the spring of 2021? Schumer wouldn’t allow the Senate to consider it. Again, if we just had a main stream media that would actually just report the facts, things could be quite different.

  576. I think that the “reasonableness” test is a objective standard. What would a reasonable person, in this situation, believe needed to be done? So, did Penny act “reasonably” with the amount of force that a reasonable person, under those circumstances, would have believed was required?

  579. I think that Glenn’s right - what Kamala needs to do is stop talking about the vibes and obscure “unburdened by what has been” type references, and focus on specifics about what policies Kamala is in favor of, and why (especially when it is a big change from her policies when she ran for President the last time). But, here is the problem - she can’t do it! She is not a smart person. The best she can do is memorize talking points, but that is so obviously what they are - just a memorized script. She can’t answer a nuanced question, and find a way to redirect it to a specific policy points. I think that you have to build an election strategy based on the candidate’s capabilities, and that’s what they have done so far. She can’t do more than that. Look at how terribly she does even on Colbert and Howard Stern.

  580. I understand what Jesse Kelly was saying, but I don’t agree that the illegal aliens that are being imported to this country will vote Democrat forever. Here’s the thing - if they get to have legal status through some questionable mechanism, they are going to want to achieve the American dream also, and the American dream isn’t sitting at home getting a check. Ask the Cubans in Florida. They will want to start businesses, employ people, grow their wealth, buy property, etc. And that is a sure path to the Republican Party.

  581. If Biden truly wants everyone to “bring the temperature down”, why doesn’t he just start talking about his policies and what they have done for the country, as compared to the policies that Trump is running on, instead of relying on rhetoric and name calling? I understand that people running for political office sometimes say negative things about the other candidates, but it would be great if those negative things would be FACTUAL, not opinion or rhetoric. It isn’t a FACT for Biden to call Trump a “rapist” any more than it is to call Trump “Hitler”.
    1
  582. To add to what Megyn said - in the Indictment pertaining to alleged Russian involvement in content control/creation with US podcasters there is NO MENTION at all of any effort or intent to control or manipulate our elections. But, you heard Merrick Garland and the main stream media all talking about it like it was an indictment pertaining to “election interference”. That leads the general public to believe that somehow the Russians were trying to actually manipulate voting machines or votes being cast. Why can’t they just be honest and tell us the truth?

  583. Cynthia Nixon has previously said that she has one or two kids that are trans, plus a couple more of them in her immediate family. Does it not even occur to her that there is something suspicious about this fact? Like, if this trans thing truly is “I was born in the wrong body”, doesn’t it seem odd that she would have multiple children in her immediate family who were victim to this mysterious malady? The odds of that doesn’t make sense, from a statistics standpoint. So, this makes the explanation lean more toward NOT an actual physical condition, but a psychological condition arising from a social contagion. In other words, these kids don’t need medical intervention. They need therapy from a real therapist that isn’t transition-biased, and they need to get off of social media.

  584. Matt made a great point. The Democrats tend to think that the reason that they have totally lost the American people is because of the “messaging”.

  585. The Dems have a crappy Presidential candidate, and the Dems are running out of things to try. They tried to joy everyone into it, and that enthusiasm didn’t last. They tried to amp up the Trump hatred, and that didn’t work. They tried to hide Kamala and control the message, but that didn’t work. They tried to put Kamala out there more, and it just made it even more obvious that she is a weak and unserious person. So, now they are trying bringing out Obama to lecture them. And it is shocking that the Dems don’t realize how irrelevant Obama is to these voters. He is only relevant to the elite Dems, and Kamala already has their vote.

  586. That lying ad that Biden is running about Trump in New York - it says “Paid for by Biden for President”. Is that Biden’s PAC? Meaning that he, theoretically, doesn’t have “control” over what they do? Or is that truly the Biden/Harris Campaign? Because, that ad is disgusting. I can’t believe that is going to persuade anyone not to vote for Trump, or to vote for Biden instead.

  588. It was the most ridiculous thing in the world for Leslie Stahl to say that the Hunter Biden laptop “cannot be verified”. Did she seriously think that the FBI, with all of its IT expertise, cannot determine, beyond a shadow of a doubt, who a laptop belongs to? And, let’s reverse things - if we had a Republican administration, and something potentially incriminating against someone in Trump’s family appeared on an electronic device, she would be sitting back saying “well, it can’t be verified, so I guess we just move on”? BS.

  589. I don’t think that any of the other potential Dem candidates want to come into the race, in the disaster that it looks like now, with a big rush to run a campaign. Especially with the terrible state of the country that they would have to address, if they were elected. They would much prefer to have Kamala be the candidate, lose to Trump, and start their plans to run in 2028.

  590. I agree with Shawn, about the “middlemen” in Christianity, to this extent - I think that pastors and priests are there to help us understand the Bible. After all, that should be their area of expertise. But I don’t see where the Bible says that God intended for pastors and priests to make up their own rules, interpretations, or rituals and certainly not to stand between us and God. My relationship with God is direct, from me to Him, and from Him back to me. I haven’t seen any biblical requirement that I can’t get to God except through an intermediary.

  592. Wait a minute - did Steve Bannon just say that the Obamas didn’t take a penny and have been entirely above-board with their finances? I find that hard to believe. You don’t acquire the level of assets that they came into on a government salary, and a book deal doesn’t make up that difference. Also, I think that it is very unlikely that Michelle Obama would consider being the candidate. She likes being on the outside and looking down her nose at people. As President, she would be blamed for the mess that Biden has made of the country, which she wouldn’t be able to fix. Also, I think there is a lot of unflattering stuff that would be brought forward about what Barack knew about what Biden was doing, and what Hillary was doing. And, of course, she is clearly not qualified. She has never even run a successful business, let alone served in public office. Also, by the way, how would they imagine they could just walk over Kamala? She wouldn’t tolerate that.

  593. Doctors have gotten way too reliant on pharmaceuticals as the answer for everything. That’s what they teach in medical school. No matter what you have, there is a drug for that. They get virtually no training on the benefits of good nutrition, exercise, or alternative therapies, even including simple things like meditation or prayer. And, by the way, doctors make a lot of money as a result of the drugs that they prescribe. Really a messed up system.

  596. Disagree with Geragos - I think that determining what is within the scope of presidential action (as opposed to private action) is a legal issue. I think the judge would look at the charges in the indictment, and then determine which of those are presidential and which of those are private. Like the equivalent of a motion for summary judgment/adjudication of issues in a civil case. Then, part of the case would likely be ordered dismissed, and part of the case would proceed.

  600. But, if a person whose DNA tested as XY had some aberration under which they didn’t develop testosterone, that person isn’t going to be competing as a boxer at all, let alone at the Olympic level. Without the testosterone, they wouldn’t be competitive against other male boxers. And, if everyone knew that the rule stated that you could only compete with other people with the same DNA sex, that person probably just wouldn’t compete in sports. The problem has arisen here because the sporting authorities and, in particular, the IOC, didn’t have the b***s to just make a DNA based rule.

Does he actually think that throughout the hundreds of years of our history in America there were large numbers of children that had been “misidentified” as the wrong sex, and they just suffered along quietly? It is, in almost all cases, a social contagion for children, contributed to by other issues like being on the autism spectrum.

These lawsuits, and the temporary restraining order rulings, even if they don’t hold up long term, give the left wing media something to point to as an excuse to try to make their viewers set their hair on fire.

  618. Eni says that there are no DEI requirements in broadcasting, so she got her job purely based on merit, but she is annoyed that people still assume that she got her job because of DEI requirements. And, maybe that is technically true. However, at least in the U.S., there are substantial DEI requirements in place with respect to the sponsors who pay for advertising on broadcast networks, and they are in a position to exert huge influence over who is hired in the broadcast world. In the current day, there is no virtually no industry that isn’t being adversely affected by DEI requirements.

  619. That British representative did such a great job in that interview! The interviewer was so focused on trying to get the representative to “label” certain ethnic groups because that’s what the left always focuses on. Everyone has to be fit into a group, with a label, and then the left says “well, if you have that label, you automatically have the characteristics that we have assigned to that group”. So, oppressed or oppressor, bad or good, smart or dumb, honest or duplicitous, etc. I honestly don’t understand them. Has the left always been so dumb? Or have they just been struggling to keep up with the conversation thus far, and they are trying to make it easier on themselves by just trying to make it all so simplistic?
    1
  620. The left is so ridiculous. The only people that see race is THEM! It’s just like all of the nonsense talk in the final days of Kamala’s campaign, with Obama chastising black men for not supporting Kamala. Like they should automatically support her because she is black. And the implication is that people that wouldn’t support Kamala were just racist. Why can’t anyone on the left just admit that some black people are dumb, and it is certainly possible that people might not want to support dumb people?

  621. Maureen - Friends ended many years ago now. And it was fairly well known that Perry had addiction issues during the making of the show. You could almost tell from the ups and downs of his weight changes during the show. I think that his co-stars on Friends did actually care about him, and didn’t just say “oh well, we don’t care about Matt, because we are making a lot of money.” But, when someone is addicted, you can’t make them stop. That is up to them. You can help and support, and encourage them to get help, but you can’t do it for them. Are you suggesting that everyone should have refused to continue with the show because Matt was an addict? That doesn’t make any sense.

  627. I think that it is great, that the NYT thought that it was newsworthy to publish the email that Pete Hegseth got from his mom. First of all, it goes to show you that the NYT doesn’t actually have anything factual to use as ammunition against Pete. Like “let’s just taunt him with ‘your mommy was mad at you’.” Second, they are just continuing to destroy the last shreds of the credibility that they have, as a news organization. This is tabloid stuff. The NYT editors of old must be rolling over in their graves.

When it comes to Trump he sounds exactly like any other left wing journalist that isn’t interested in the actual facts, and just wants to push a narrative. Except, in his case, he actually sounds like he doesn’t KNOW the facts, which is truly shocking. Cops that were killed at the Capital on January 6? Insurrection? I hope it’s just the drugs, because he sounds like he has lost his mind.

  635. Tim, wrong again. You are saying that the Republicans want to run against the Kamala Harris of 2019, and that you don’t think she is the same Kamala now. We are talking about FIVE YEARS AGO! Not decades ago. Of course the Republicans have to call her out for the policies that she campaigned on FIVE YEARS AGO. And, to the extent that those policies are different now, she has to explain WHY they are different. It’s not like going back to something that a candidate said when they were in college, and trying to beat them with it. (But, of course, the Dems think that it is relevant to find pictures of JD Vance from college, and beat him with those.). I didn’t at first realize that Tim was a Dem, but he is talking the same Dem nonsense that we hear from main stream media.

  643. Here is what hilarious - the Dems have been telling is that these prosecutions aren’t political - remember, “no one’s above the law”?

Sure makes it seem like the Dems now think that this trial is a political event.

  644. Ric is right. When the Dems think that they are losing, they just try to change the rules. That goes along perfectly with this modern Dem ideology that is so individualistic. It doesn’t have a shared historical underpinning - like patriotism or religion. So, they have no historical structure to fall back on.

If Margaret Brennan actually does think that the poor people in Mississippi are too dumb to care for themselves,this is precisely the thinking that resulted in a large part of the Dem party acting like black people had to be taken care of like they were children, in the 1960’s. It is ridiculous. These local government and local citizens know their state, and their particular needs, better than FEMA administrators from DC ever could.

  648. I think that a moderator trying to “fact check” during a debate is ridiculous, and also counter productive.

Well, now that I have seen the X post from one of the journalists/influencers that got the Epstein binder, where they specifically say that they were told by Bondi that this is just the first part, and that thousands more documents are being held by the New York FBI office and those documents will be in Bondi’s hands within days, I don’t get why Megyn is worked up about this. It sounds like Bondi TOLD those journalists/influencers that it WASN’T all of the Epstein documents and that more were coming. And, that’s what those journalists/influencers posted to X. Bond wasn’t trying to trick them. If those people then all posted the same thing on X, that’s on THEM, not on the White House. Although, I do wonder why Bondi reached out to these particular journalists/influencers only, since they seem like they are more minor players in the news arena? Why not include someone with a more substantial presence, like Megyn Kelly or the Daily Wire?

  654. Stephen is missing the point, about Kamala knowing about Biden’s condition and hiding it from us. First of all, she didn’t just remain silent about it, she actively went out to the press and lied in response to any related questions, asserting that Biden was totally fine. Second, if she was “working behind the scenes” to do something about it (which I highly doubt), I would like to know those details. Possibly she can have them ready for the congressional inquiry. :) Third, her primary obligation isn’t to the President. The American people are her boss, and she violated her obligation to us. It seems to me that Stephen is conveniently brushing over how we got here because he got the result he wanted - a Dem candidate other than Biden. That seems to be the way that the Dem politicians and their allies usually think.

  655. So, the border is all Trump’s fault. Of course, that bill was just brought forward earlier this year. How about the three years prior to that?

  666. Representative Smith is a fraud. From his own words, he was only in favor of Biden not running for reelection because he didn’t think that he could “effectively deliver the party’s message” - in other words, win the Presidency again. He wasn’t at all concerned about the fact that Biden was mentally failing and physically incapable of actually BEING the President. This BS about Biden having a great team behind him (that is, apparently, the ones actually running the country) is disgusting. Our Constitution doesn’t provide for a President by Committee. The President, and only the President, is vested with significant powers - those powers aren’t vested to his underlings. An incompetent President that takes endless vacations and is only capable of being mostly alert between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. does not meet that standard. This guy isn’t brave - he is just an obvious party sycophant that is probably more of a pr**k than the rest of them.

So, I think that it will be Kamala, and some crappy VP, with the expectation by the Dem party that they will probably lose, and get it back in 2028. That will also mess up their down ballot races, but so would trying to slip in a pseudo qualified new candidate for President, at this late date.

  676. Rich Lowry makes a great point that people on the right aren’t talking about enough. For example, the funding appropriations that Congress made for USAID are very general and NOT program specific. They mostly leave it to USAID to decide how the money is spent. (And, even when USAID “reports” to Congress about the spending that they have done,it is also done in very vague, general terms.). So, since USAID is an agency of the executive branch of government,the President has the right to determine how the appropriated funds will be spent, so that it is in accordance with that President’s agenda for the country. And certainly the President has the right to “pause” the spending while his representatives sort out what programs should continue to be funded and which should be cancelled. Frankly, I am shocked that ANYONE on the left trusts anything that left wing media has to say anymore - these are the same people that brought you “Biden is as sharp as a tack”.

  679. The Dems know that what they are doing isn’t working for them with the American people and their voter base, but they don’t know what to do instead. And it makes it much harder for them also because they don’t have any clear leader, and certainly not any rational leader. They need a Bill Clinton type that will take charge and lead them back toward the center, but they obviously can’t stomach that, in light of the DNC elections that they just conducted. I think that they haven’t hit bottom yet - they need more losing before they will be ready to take the leap toward a different platform.

All that same baggage that followed her two failed Presidential campaigns would still haunt her.

  684. Would someone please tell me - what is the actual legal effect of what Justice Thomas says in his concurrence?

  685. I think that’s because a lot of the left functions entirely from emotion, not rational thought. And, it is very difficult to actually “change” an emotion. Much easier to change a rational thought. It is easy to consider new facts and then have a more nuanced opinion.

Oh, wait a minute, maybe because Moulton might say “well, Joe, you actually haven’t spoken out against it either.” :) It’s like, if you call me out as a liar, I’ll do the same to you.

It goes along with the left trying to personalize everything - everything is about how you “feel” and not about the facts. When someone calls you “racist” or “Islamaphobic”, I guess it is a lazy way of trying to challenge your ideas. But, we need to make them do the work. Get behind those labels and make them articulate the idea that they are disagreeing with. Then, we can talk about the idea, without the shorthand label.

  699. If you are a church based organization, like the Catholic charities organization, you should be speaking out AGAINST the importation of countless aliens into our country. It is NOT in the best interests of the aliens that they are bringing in, and it is definitely not in the best interests of America or the church’s existing parishioners. Churches have to have morals and ethics, and can’t just do things for money.

  700. Anybody that wants to argue the angle “well, these January 6 defendants were convicted” would be better off arguing the facts in each underlying case. Because, almost no one believes that these prosecutions were fair or even-handed. That’s what the Biden DOJ did to our justice system.

  705. I think that Maher sees all of the things that are wrong with where the Left is now, and he can’t tolerate a lot of it anymore, so he has started to speak out about it. BUT, he just can’t see himself, or call himself, a conservative, and he definitely CAN’T give up his hatred of Trump. It’s more like he is in conflict with himself, and he doesn’t know how to deal with it. And, I can’t believe that he didn’t know that Hillary has said those specific words, “illegitimate President” multiple times, before January 6. Good for Megyn, to push back at him.

  706. If they try to say that the Afghanistan withdrawal “was Trump’s plan - we just implemented it” that is totally not going to work. Please note, Trump had an immigration control plan also, and they didn’t blindly just adopt that. Biden, supported by Harris, MADE the decision on Afghanistan. When you are in the Oval Office, it is on YOUR head, for good and for bad.

  708. I think that Matt’s wrong about his theory that an open Dem convention would be likely - if the candidate isn’t Kamala, they will be losing all of that money. And I think that the enthusiasm with donors will be very difficult to reinvigorate at this late date. Also, I do think that there will be a huge backlash to throwing Kamala to the side. How can the Dem party justify NOT running her? That would basically be admitting that she was NEVER qualified to be President, and that they only picked her as VP because was the right color and sex.

  709. I haven’t yet come to a decision on my views about women being in line combat in our military. As a basic, I think that there needs to one, high standard that all recruits must meet, regardless of sex. But, apart from that, I wonder if having a woman in a line combat position causes the men in that unit to feel that they have to make special effort to protect that woman, to the degree that it will impair the mission. Also, I am concerned about the sexuality issues that will arise, with a woman in such close quarters with a group of testosterone driven men. Again, it seems that would interfere with the group accomplishing their mission.

  710. Why would our government allow the FDA to received ANY funding from Big Pharma? It is clearly a conflict of interest. Do regulated corporations provide funding the SEC?

  712. I agree with Mike. I don’t think that the American people, for the most part, care about January 6 anymore. Again, this is the Dems own fault. They went down a partisan path, and it is obvious to the American people. No proper organization of the January 6 committee. Selective release to the public of the evidence, including video evidence, that the January 6 committee had gathered. Destruction or at least partial destruction of the evidence that the January 6 committee had gathered, etc. And, most recently, the video of Pelosi admitting that SHE was responsible for not having proper law enforcement support at the Capitol. They want us to be all worked up about January 6, but it wasn’t actually what they depicted to us, so they had to lie and stretch it, and then they got caught. Same old story with the Dems.

  715. RFKJ didn’t do a great job at the hearing. He has such a circuitous way of speaking, and it makes him sound like he is trying to be obscure, like he is hiding something. He would have done so much better if he would have just said “no, I won’t do that, and here’s why.” Or “no, that is not what I said. What I actually said was…”. I want Trump to have the nominees that he chose, because he should be able to put together the team he wants to achieve what the American people elected him to do, and I hope RFKJ makes it for that reason, but he really didn’t help himself with his performance at the hearing.

  716. So, the party that has continually been screaming about democracy is now saying that they need to pick a “new” nominee? Despite the fact that the first one was duly selected by the voters? And the reason they want a new one is because their scam about the lack of competency of the first one has been discovered? Oh, and, they want to select the new one through an entirely undemocratic process - a bunch of guys in a smoke filled room? When the Dems fall apart, they sure do a good job of it.

  717. Grok says that the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act would still allow transgender girls to practice with teams as long as they do not displace cisgender girls from competitive opportunities.

  718. I don’t agree with Viva. When they started this New York case against Trump, they thought that it would be a good strategy to squelch his support. It has turned out to be just the opposite. A sure sign that they aren’t so sure of their law fare strategy anymore is the fact that, in the new Arizona “election interference” case, Trump wasn’t indicted - he was only included as an “unindicted co-conspirator”. If they thought more law fare would help the Dem cause, they would have included him as an indicted defendant. I think that the Dems are thinking now that, if they put Trump in prison, that will be the end of the Dems bid for the presidency.

What I think we need to do is do our due diligence about the people that we are going to follow and listen to, and don’t just blindly believe everything that we read online. We have to be especially wary of things that we read that are inflammatory sounding and that play into our established biases or beliefs. This is only logical and, before the explosion of the digital world, would be common sense for us. I wouldn’t stop and listen to some random person on the street spouting a conspiracy theory about something, and take it for the truth. We have to use the same discretion when we chose who or what or listen to online.

  724. The left will say it’s not really a problem - it’s just one competition here or there, so we are over reacting. But, here’s the thing - it’s not just that a man takes a first place trophy away from a woman. It’s that EVERY woman on down the line, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc., is now one position lower than they should have been. That loss of ranking can make a difference on a scholarship, a higher level competition, Olympic qualification, a corporate sponsorship, etc. For EVERY woman on down the line.

Karen Bass assuring everyone that she took the fastest route home is like Joe Biden telling everyone that Hunter’s house in California might have been destroyed and that Biden’s first great granddaughter was just born.

And, if we looked that hard into the lives of these Senators and the people dragging all of this stuff out, we would probably find some crap that doesn’t look good for them either.

  737. @ I agree with you about the Geneva Conventions, but that’s not comparable to the situation with the media. First of all, the media aren’t terrorists. They are all exercising their first amendment rights, which includes speech that some may believe is misleading, or even dishonest. Second, ALL media is biased. We are sick to death of the left wing media bias that has prevailed for what seems like forever, but I don’t think that a press room full of Steve Bannon clones is the reasonable alternative. In this current situation, I think that Buck’s take was the correct one - let’s wait and see what the White House actually does before we conclude that it was a good or bad idea.

  738.  @MeganDelacroix  I posted a response, but now I don’t see it, so I will try to recreate it. I agree with you about the Geneva Conventions, but the media aren’t terrorists. They are all exercising their rights under the first amendment, which includes protection for speech that is misleading and even dishonest. Further, all media is biased. Granted that we have endured what seems like decades of left wing media bias, but an alternative that consists of a press room filled with Steve Bannon clones would be equally as egregious. I think that Buck had it right - we should wait and see what the actual result is, before we try to evaluate this new approach as either good or bad. It’s been a pleasure having this discussion with you, by the way.

  742. Rep Khanna is ridiculous on the trans issue. He talks about being kind. But allowing boys to compete with girls, and be in girls’ private spaces, is not KIND to girls! It’s like he is saying “well, it’s such a small amount of the population, so the girls just have to tolerate it.” That is ludicrous.

  743. But, Megyn, you are making an unreliable assumption. You are maybe assuming that, if the White House picks the reporters that will be in the “pool”, they will all be partisan and just spin everything in favor of Trump. But, in the alternative, you are also assuming that, if the Press Association picks the reporters who will be in the “pool” they WON’T be partisan? That hasn’t been born out in what we have experienced in the past. It seems like this is in the category of things that the left broke, so they now have to live with the backlash. Maybe they will learn something and maybe not act so irresponsibly in the future. And, I actually agree with you, that I would prefer pool reporters that aren’t partisan, but I don’t think we are going to get back to that any time soon.

  744. I think she has said it before - basically, Trump could have actively done more to control the protestors. I think he was pissed off about the loss, and couldn’t accept it, and probably really did think that the Dems stole it from him. So, he wasn’t inclined to make things easy for the Dems on getting the election to be completed.
    1
  745.  @beefsupreme4671  My take is that Trump was pissed about the result, and probably rightly believed that the Dems had manipulated the outcome with things like the late changes in the voting rules and the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story. Because he was pissed, he wasn’t inclined to make things easy for the Dems on the certification of the vote, and was happy to have people protesting on his behalf. Trump could have done a lot more, a lot sooner, to keep his followers calm and under control, if he actually wanted to. But, that still doesn’t make him legally liable for what his followers did.
    1
  746.  @beefsupreme4671  But, he did have tremendous power to influence his followers. It is reasonable that he should have seen that they had good potential to over react, and he could and should have tamped them down. He could have said at his speech - “look I know you are pissed, and so am I, but we are going to let the courts sort this out. Go home and send me your prayers.”

  747.  @beefsupreme4671  You are clearly not open to discussion on this. I said it doesn’t mean that Trump is legally liable, but he could have done more to influence them at the rally. That is just logical.

Help them obtain basic medical care. Things that actually help their survival and can lead to prosperity.

  755. The infighting between the Kamala staff, the Obama staff, and the Biden staff is a strong indicator of what a terrible leader Kamala is.

If she can’t even manage a conflicted staff situation, how does anything think she can manage the United States as President?

  756. It’s just a strategy to get Riley off topic - “why are you so fixated on the trans thing? Don’t you care about women being abused? Don’t you care about the abortion issue? What about Trump? Why don’t you talk about those things?” (Paraphrasing, not transcribing :) To which I would say “why do you seem so uncomfortable talking about the trans issue that you have to try to change the subject?” Riley felt that she had to defend herself instead - “I advocate for women in prison…” etc. If we let them change the subject, and let them make us feel defensive, they win. We can’t allow that.
    1
  757. Agreed. I have the strong feeling that there are a disturbing number of people, mostly women, who are voting for her JUST because she is a woman! As though women are inherently better than men. Have they never known a dumb woman, or an incompetent woman, or a dishonest woman, or a deluded woman, or a woman that was so enamored with her own position and status that she couldn’t care less about anyone else? Frankly, I think that some of it is also that they hate Trump, and have to stop him at all costs.

  759. Here’s why Tom has a problem with the “cisgender” label. He is talking about needing “categories”, and I agree with that. The thing is, non-trans people already have their own category. I am a woman, the same category that we have used for thousands of years. And transwomen came along and created their own category - “transwoman”, and that’s fine. But the trans community then wanted to push things farther and start to say they were actually “women”, but we already had that category, so they needed to try to shift us to a new category, and that’s where “ciswoman” came in. Thank you, but NO! I already have a category, and trans people don’t belong in it.

  761. Megyn, I totally know how you feel about giving back to the Dem’s what they have been inflicting on Trump and his supporters. BUT, tit-for-tat is NEVER like against like. If your sister pokes you, you pinch her, so she slaps you, and then you pull her hair. Before you know it, you are in an outright brawl. If it was just you and your sister, that’s fine. But, an outright brawl in this situation would involve and impact the entire country. I think that the true difficulty is that the Dem’s have had control for too long, and they really don’t know how to handle it. It’s like, when the Dem’s are in control for too long, they destroy everything, and then the Republications have to come back in and clean up the mess and get things on the right track again. And the Republicans need to be smarter about realizing that the system is bigger than “we pass a law to fix things”. The system includes the culture and social issues, which the Republicans seem to mostly ignore. And the system includes the administrative agencies that need to be cleaned out and downsized. The Republicans have their work cut out for them.

  762. Why is it “conspiracy theory” vs. just another “theory”? Just because it runs against what the elites and main stream media want us to believe? Why aren’t we entitled to have a different theory, and have it considered as a possibility, instead of characterizing us as crazy people.

Re-enacting usually involves trying to duplicate or copy something that happened before, like with costumes and recitation of the same dialogue, etc. All she is doing is lying for the benefit of the CNN viewers that didn’t actually watch any of Trump’s MSG rally. Also, great to drop the mention “I write about this in my book”. These people are disgusting.

  769. This is made more confusing because the IOC representative came out and said that the Algerian boxer “tested” as a woman, in addition to his passport saying female, etc. But I don’t think that the IOC said what “test” they were talking about. If the prior international boxing organization did a test that showed XY chromosomes, that means male, and a subsequent chromosome test by the IOC should have also showed male. If the IOC would just be more open about these issues, it would really help us understand.

  773. JCal still has such a lefty position on the illegal aliens that are in our country, and the topic of immigration in general. That line “America was built by immigrants” is such a ridiculous, trite saying that you hear all the time from the Dems. At the height of the immigration to the US in the past, it was before there were these ridiculous, overblown social programs. The immigrants that came here knew that they had to bring a skill or trade with them, so they could survive. Now, everyone coming across the border illegally gets hand out and luxury hotel rooms. And, I don’t know how any reasonable person would not agree with the statement “America is for Americans”. How is that xenophobic? That is not a hatred of foreigners. That is saying that we want people to come to this country from other countries, but to do it LEGALLY. If they do it legally, that will make them Americans.

  774. Although Bill recognizes and acknowledges that there were people present at the Capital on January 6 that were just wandering in the halls like they were on a tour, and that didn’t break anything or hurt anyone. The problem is that THOSE people are being prosecuted in the same way as people that actually broke down barricades and entered with force. It’s like wants to just think in black and white, and can’t stand any nuance, and that’s just intellectually lazy.

  780. Eni says that she has to work harder and be better prepared than the white commentators, just to be fairly considered or thought to be equal. I would be curious to know what evidence she has to back up that claim, since it is SO subjective. And, by the way, even if that is true, I don’t see that as a racist thing at all. It could be because she is younger, it could be because she is a woman, it could be because of her lack of broadcasting background, it could be because she isn’t related to the owner of the broadcast network. What she is talking about is the fact that the world is full of biases, because the world is full of people, and people have biases. You can’t change that with a DEI policy, and trying to do so just shifts the alleged unfairness to some other group of people.

Either Biden said it intentionally, because that is what he actually thinks, or he said it inadvertently, because his mental faculties are failing. Either way is not good, for different reasons. A mentally competent person that accidentally says the wrong word, especially when they have spent their life in politics, knows it and immediately corrects it, in the next breath.

  783. Charles is right - campaigning for President isn’t all about policy. You also want to use some general talking points to try to get across to the voters something about your personality and your underlying principles. However, the voters have a unique challenge with trying to figure Kamala out. The voters thought that they knew what she stood for already, since she just ran for president in 2019, and she said a bunch of stuff about her positions. But, then, her campaign in 2024 (her campaign, not her) came out and said she didn’t still hold many of those positions. With no explanation for why she has different underlying principles now (only five years later). So, it is understandable that the voters would need more information in order to feel comfortable, and the repetitive word salad of “dreams and aspirations” doesn’t fit the bill.

  785. Here’s the thing - the schools can’t just stop bringing women onto these teams, and just recruit men that are pretending to be women, because these men are B level players, in the men’s sports world. The schools would just end up with a bunch of crappy male players all playing each other, and nobody would want to see that. But, as long as the men are the exception rather than the rule, they get away with it. I think that the class action lawsuit is a great idea.

  788. Maybe he is just not used to talking about it in public. God just came into my life earlier this year, and I sound a lot like Pete. Jesus is in the front of my mind and His name is mentioned often in my conversations with my husband and friends. But, if I ended up in the public eye and tried to do the same thing, it would probably sound fake and forced, because it would be personally uncomfortable to expose myself in that way to the public.

  789. Don’t Joe and Mika know who their viewers are? Why would they think that their viewers would want them to back off the Trump attacks? That’s not the way to save their careers.

  790. It was kind of funny - Sharpton asked Kamala to talk about what she had in mind for her administration, without using that “beltway language”. What he got in response was entirely “beltway language”. She said a bunch of words that don’t mean anything.

  793. It is certainly a good question, why ABC News hasn’t responded to the allegations in the affidavit. But, it is also curious why the Harris/Walz campaign hasn’t responded to those same allegations. That seems odd. They don’t hesitate to issue press releases about anything that annoys them, so why be silent on this? Unless the allegations are true, and they are worried about the whistleblower having proof, and they don’t want to be caught in a direct lie.

  794. It is insane to think that the prosecution is saying that Trump SHOULD have paid off Stormy Daniels from campaign funds. Because, that’s really what they are saying. You are saying that paying hush money to keep someone quiet that wants to tell the press a bad story about a candidate is a proper use of campaign funds? No one thinks that is true!

  796. I don’t think that’s realistic. There are three million federal employees, and they don’t all work in an office where their boss can just walk out and see them. But, I do think that the agency heads should be involved at the next level, particularly for the groups of people that don’t respond.

  797. But I’m sure that CNN had arranged in advance to be able to visit the prison. They weren’t just walking down the street and decided, on the spur of the moment, “heh, let’s go in this prison”. That isn’t credible. So, if they knew that CNN wanted to visit the prison, they could have slipped in a prisoner for CNN to discover.

  799. It is only logical that an unhinged person could be influenced to action by the left’s constant stream of hateful rhetoric against Trump, and I think that the left should be policing their own behavior, instead of pointing fingers at other people to deflect responsibility. But, here’s the thing - there is NO reason that the left has to use extreme levels of name calling in a political campaign. They could just talk about the policies of each candidate and each candidate’s prior experience and governing. But, they can’t do that, because the Dem policies have been disastrous for our country, and Trump’s policies are better - we have the four years that he was previously President to use as proof.

  800. Would these same people that think that Kaitlyn Clark should apologize for her whiteness have been arguing that the black baseball players that first came into Major League Baseball should have been apologizing for their blackness, and acknowledging that they were standing on the shoulders of the white players that built the league? Just flip it around to see the nonsense of it.

  801. I think I probably made this same comment on the episode of the original Bill Maher interview - Bill Maher dismisses the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story as being relevant to the outcome of the election. He says, basically, “for F’s sake”, nobody really cared about that and it wouldn’t have made a difference in the election results. Megyn gives him the poll stats to the contrary, and he still denies it. My point is that, if the Dem’s didn’t think that the story would cause a detrimental affect to the chances of their success, WHY did they cause the story to be suppressed? If it wouldn’t have mattered, why didn’t they just let the press report on it, and let the public comment on it, and not try to control the story? Because, obviously, it DID make a difference.

  803. When the Federal Government starts arresting people for violating federal law, including mayors and governors, I predict that nonsense will mostly disappear. They will still whine and cry, but they are gutless and don’t really believe in anything other than their own power and control, and “Trump bad”.

  804. I think that the first phase of the Israel-Hamas deal only lasts for 42 days. I think that VDH is correct - Hamas won’t keep to their commitments even for that long. So then Israel can recommence operations.

  809. I think that it would have made sense for JD to call Walz on his terrible record during the BLM riots IF that type of an issue had come up during the debate. Or even if an issue had come up in the debate that would have allowed a logical segue to the BLM riots. But there really wasn’t a related issue that would have allowed that. For JD to bring it up out of the blue would have just looked mean spirited I think. Especially because Walz isn’t running for President, just VP.

  812. What Trump is trying to do, with his suggestions about what might happen with Gaza, is to think outside the historical box and open an opportunity for a shift in the paradigm. NOTHING that anyone has suggested in the past has worked for this region, and the situation with Gaza and the now in-bred hostility of the people that live there, has only gotten worse. I think that is brilliant to have a President that doesn’t just stand up there and say the usual “two state solution” nonsense, that NO ONE actually believes will ever work. There is no definitive plan in place yet, and it is yet to be seen what comes from this.

  813. About those “migrants crying” videos - how do we know that is what they are crying about? I don’t hear anyone asking the woman in the video what the problem is. Are we just assuming that is why she is crying? And why would we assume that - just because she appears to be Hispanic? Come on, people. Certainly there is some reporter that can do better than that.

  815. I’m not doubting that Ilhan Omar was giving advice to Somalia illegal aliens on how to avoid being deported from the U.S., but I have heard other AI translations of what she said that were different. Example, in the other translation I heard she supposedly said that the illegal aliens should tell ICE representatives that they have been told by an attorney not to answer their questions. I didn’t hear that language in this translation.

  816. Megyn, and I’m sure that Tom Homan will deal with the 1.5 million (I’m pretty sure that number is correct, although it is shocking) illegal aliens who have already received a deportation order, but are still in the country. They have already had their asylum claims adjudicated, and have been told to leave, but have not done so.

  817. I am assuming that there are different units within the Secret Service. Some agents have an expertise in sniper work, so they are in that unit. But, you probably wouldn’t waste those agents by, instead, having them do close bodyguard work with the protectee. There are probably also office/administrative units in the Secret Service, digital surveillance, etc. I can certainly see a woman might want to be in the Secret Service and might be well suited to some unit that doesn’t require physical strength, like close bodyguard work might require. But, it is just ridiculous to put anyone in a job for which they aren’t well suited, just because you are trying to meet some arbitrary quota.

  819. Okay, Rep Smith is a ridiculous person. He is not interested in any honest discussion. Of course he thinks it is just fine that Kamala isn’t doing any interviews or press conferences - because his main goal is to make sure that a Dem wins the Presidency. He doesn’t want anyone to be able to peek behind the curtain and actually find out the truth about Kamala and her policies, because that might make it less likely that people would vote for her.

  820. Here’s a part of what Joni Ernst (spelling?) is running up against. I think that it is great that she had stood up for women in the military being sexually assaulted. But, it is too easy to stray into the “believe all women” lane, and start to think that anytime a woman accuses a men of sexual assault, all of our reason (and our constitutional based ‘innocent until proven guilty’) goes out the window.

  821. AOC is a ridiculous person. They always do this - make up a ludicrous extreme that they think makes their point. For AOC’s information, here is how it will be enforced - if a woman goes into the women’s room, and she sees a penis in there, she is going to go tell someone.

  824.  @omarra6781  It is not “pro choice” - no one is trying to stop anyone from choosing life. The “pro choice” crowd wants the right to choose abortion. They just think that saying “pro choice” is more palatable to the public.

  825.  @omarra6781  Great argument you have there. :)

  826.  @omarra6781  You don’t know anything about me, but nice job jumping to conclusions. My comment didn’t address whether abortion was bad or good, or under what circumstances, so that wasn’t what we were discussing. My issue was with the “pro choice” label and the fact that it is manipulative and deceptive to say “pro choice”, and that was what my comment addressed. And you didn’t respond to that claim at all.

  829. McBride sounds like a narcissist. This “I am living rent free in their heads” thing is hysterical because, here is the thing, they are NOT thinking about you at all. If they WERE thinking about you, they would be behaving like that congressman that objected on your behalf. They don’t care about your little fantasy and, as a result, they aren’t inclined to go to the trouble to alter their natural speech inclinations to calling you “Miss”.

  830. I am totally happy to have a woman be a firefighter, but their qualification should be based on the same old standards that were set when it was only men in that role. There was a good reason for those standards, and it had to do with the requirements of that job. If a woman can meet those standards, that would be fine. And maybe DEI had nothing to do with this disastrous situation. But, having these LGBTQ women in high positions in the department when their primary focus is assuring everyone that they are gay and they are female just tells you that their priorities are skewed away from doing the job.

  832. What I found funny, at both the All In Summit and in this episode with Megyn, when she nicely slaps him down, he backs off pretty easily. I used to find him annoying on the All In Podcast, but he has loosened up so much now, and does a great job running the podcast and covering a great variety of topics that I can’t get anywhere else. Highly recommend it.

  833. Megyn, but, the tape of the conversation between Cohen and Trump regarding McDougall should not have been played for the jury, and Cohen should not have been able to testify about it. It was an attorney client privileged communication. And the fraud crime exception wouldn’t apply, because paying off McDougall was not a crime. Just another basis for reversal.

  834. Kamala does this stupid thing where she creates a fake boogeyman that doesn’t exist, and then acts all tough in her talk about “going after them”. That doesn’t make her tough, it makes her stupid. I haven’t heard her give ONE specific example of a grocery store that she contends is currently “price gouging”.

  835. I think that Michael is right - there are some people, including some in the Republican Party, that are much more comfortable being in the minority. That way, they aren’t actually responsible for changing anything, and they can just ineffectively snipe at the majority, and act like “well, what could we do — we weren’t in control, so we can’t be blamed.”
