  2. Yes, I'm wondering the same. What gives Lying Ted any credibility on this subject? He can't even get the tennis star's name correct, calling her Feng Shui, instead of Peng Shuai.

  3.  @ggcastill  Thank you for paying attention and countering the disinformation in these comments. Polls only reflect the messaging that voters receive. I do it every day, as a matter of national patriotic service. Our nation needs folks like you, now more than ever. It's up to US to keep the records straight, because MSM cares more about ratings, don't they? Best regards! 👍😎

  4. "Don't shoot the messenger." KJP is incredibly polite, patient, and sincere about her job responsibilities to provide transparency to MSM and US citizens. President biden is among the best Presidents our nation has ever had and that's no joke.

  5. How much governing experience did tRump have when he negotiated the Taliban take over with terrorists, excluding the Afghan government? Of course, now there's no question about how tRump cheated his way into the Oval Office. What qualifications did Ivanka & her siblings have to be advisors to the POTUS? This 'dude' is far better educated and qualified than the Taliban.

  8. I would like to add that MAGA does not equal patriotism.

  9. Would a brain scan indicate moral values, integrity, patriotism, compassion for the weak, Congressional experience, and/or respect from our global allies?

  11.  Peter Kazavis  What money? The 2 million taken from his fraudulent charity, the tuitions scammed from Trump University, his 'investments' in overly inflated FMV of real estate properties, whatever is statched away in foreign bank accounts, or the Deutsche Bank loan money being secured by Putin?🤔

  15. This poll is obviously targeting right-wingers, both in the questions and optional answers. For example: Percent of Americans would want Trump to A) Fight to be put back to Presidency right now, 12% (unrealistic) B) Be put back using legal channels, 9% (there are no legal channels) C) Be put back with force, if necessary, 4% (unConstitutional) What about some choices for Dems?: D) Be banned from ever holding a public office, E) Be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for his involvement with inciting Jan 6th, F) Be hung by the neck on VP Pence's gallows for treason. I vote to 'F' him. How would everyone else vote?

  16. Kudos to Margaret for pushing back with truth. She's one of the few remaining responsible MSM hosts with journalistic integrity.

  18. Okay, Mayor. You sound sensible, well educated, reserved, and professional. You're putting your own money where your mouth is, with regards to climate change and policies to mitigate it. You have my attention, but are you trustworthy? I'm checking out your background and watching.👀

  20.  @namename6797  BS! tRump set it all up and left the Afghan government without the means to defend itself, just to dump it all on Biden. The agreement was that the US military would allow the Taliban to control everything, except for the cities, until a 5/1/2021 US troop withdrawal, which would be Biden's problem to execute. tRump unleashed 5,000 ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Taliban leaders from a Pakistani prison for terrorists. They had a whole year to organize their coup without US obstruction. The Afghan Security Forces had no ammo to defend themselves against the Taliban forces, so they simply defected, as soon as our troops evacuated from Bagram airbase. The Afghan government officials knew that the inevitable was happening and suggested destroying documents. The Afghan government didn't have a chance, regardless of who was in charge. tRump set the trap for both the Afghan government and President Biden, then relished in his own created mayhem. He's responsible for the entire mess. Biden was his fall-guy whose hand was forced to make all the tough decisions. Yet, no one could have done a better, more responsible job.

  21.  @mndsph4530  At 69 years of age, I must disagree. Most young people are overly confident, too idealistic, and motivated by narcissism. They're focused upon proving who they are, without much empathy nor sympathy for others. So how can they be qualified to serve the needs of others? The 'new blood' GQP Freedom Caucus in the US Congress only want to create chaos and dysfunction, instead of adhering to the righteous vision of our Founding Fathers and their Constitution, which is what has made America great to begin with. I grew up during the '60s hippy generation of rebellion and enlightenment. I still hold on to those youthful values. But, I'm old enough to understand that parents need to have dependable jobs and homes to support their families. I support President Biden's administration, because they are pushing the most progressive anti-climate change policies, education for job skills, and basing their decisions upon scientific facts, not blind faith. Yes, change is life's only constant and time never stands still. So it is only proper for young people to hold previous generations accountable and correct their mistakes, especially regarding corruption. But, with age comes wisdom and the need to leave behind a worthy legacy. Old folks have already been there and have experienced setbacks, obstacles, and failures that the youth never even consider nor could imagine. Why should the youth always need to learn these things the hard way? What could be more ideal than allowing wisdom to guide youthful energy along the proper path? By working together, no mountain is too great to overcome and no river is too wide to cross. 😎

  22. People are dying because of 1/2 a century worth of such willful ignorance. /smh "You ain't seen nuttin', yet." Future generations will suffer heat, drought, crop failures, hunger, famine, wildfires, super storms, ... But, apparently you don't have children and won't be around to suffer their fate. No doubt, you're defending being the owner of a gas guzzler, complaining about high gas prices.

  23. Margaret Brennan is one of the few remaining MSM hosts, who still have enough journalistic integrity to fact check and challenge her GQP guests' BS. I don't even bother with MTP, anymore. It only pisses me off. Traitors against democracy don't deserve the respect of equal exposure nor pundits playing devil's advocate against our fairly elected leaders. They are the cause of the current dissidence between polling and Biden's performance.

  24. "Put pressure back on Iran..." FACT: Iran was fully compliant with IAEA inspections of their atomic energy program, and would have continued to be until this year. But, it was tRump who reneged on JPCOA and let Iran's nuclear enrichment program out of Pandora's box. Now, it has resumed to enriching weapons grade.

  25. Yes! Thank you. First this program shows a poll among 'those who disapprove of Biden's performance', w/o revealing how the approvers poll. Then, she interviews a GOP governor, so that he can get his licks in. Then, it's skyrocketing COVID cases, instead of the reduction of deaths from 7.8 per 100K to 0.13. That's a HUGE success story that none of the news networks ever mention. Then they HAD to remind everyone of one bad day of evacuating 125,000 civilians in the middle of a terrorist infested coup. 23 US troops were blown up by one suicide bomber, after being warned of an imminent attack on Abbey Gate, but they stood their posts to allow British troops to escort their citizens inside. By comparison, on average, 1,800 US citizens are murdered by guns EVERY 3 WEEKS in their own neighborhoods. Besides, tRump set up the Afghan trap for Biden to take the fall, after he freed 5000 Taliban, ISIS, and Al Qaeda leaders from a Pakistani prison, just as long as they didn't attack our troops during the 2020 election runup.

  26. IOW, our entire IC manufacturing capabilities are sitting in one 'nest', which is a tiny island off the coast of China, that has been developed and mostly funded by US consumers. After accomplishing all of that in the quest for cheaper products, who was responsible for protecting our own national security interests? Under-regulated capitalists? So, here we sit, with China threatening to invade Taiwan to benefit from our IP. Xi only needs to give a nod and our 'superior' technology is his to either cut off or exploit. I've never wanted to wear a dog's collar, certainly not a choker one.

  27. O'Brien, what do you have to say about Tuberville blocking top Command promotions in the S. China Sea to appease tRump?

  28. FYI, our POTUS has a doctor on duty and available at all times.

  29. Bush was too busy reading nursery rhymes at a kindergarten. When informed, he froze, not knowing how to respond. So, he invented WMDs, attacked Iraq, started 20 years' worth of Middle East wars, failed to get Bin Laden, and couldn't handle the Wall Street collapse, families losing their homes to pay medical bills, nor save the auto industry, which Romney said, "Let it fail." Obama/Biden picked up the pieces, killed bin Laden, saved America's auto industry, then gave US ACA. Moscow Mitch & the GQP have made every effort to sabotage our healthcare. tRump added 25% to our national debt, reneged on JPCOA (Iran has resumed weapons grade enrichment of Uranium), and single-handedly gave Afghanistan back to the Taliban. "Republicans don't know how to drive. Every time they get the helm, they head US straight intothe gtter." President Barack Obama.

  30. "Who are the REAL players in the White House? Is it Jill Biden, Nancy Pelosi..." /SMH IOW, broadcasting MAGA's #1 rhetoric that someone else is pulling 'senile old Joe Bden's' strings. WHY IS COSTA CARRYING THE WATER OF WHITE NATIONALIST ANARCHISTS? This is a poorest of all poorest excuses of responsible, unbiased reporting under the guise of Sunday morning news. At least Margaret keeps the records straight, which affects public opinion, polling, and our nation's future. This sham does none of that for our nation. Face the Mirror, Costa.

  31. This demonstrates why Dems lose elections. They complain about their own leaders as much as Faux Spews and their political opponents. With Dems like Schiff & AOC, Republicants can stay at home to take back Congress. /smh

  32. Why does every member of the Jan 6th Committee start humming and hawling whenever they're asked about criminal convictions? They've already laid out detailed criminal evidence for numerous felonies, so why do they shy away from stating that the DoJ needs to finish driving a stake into the heart of tRump's mafioso 'family' mob? There's a decisive midterm election in only 2 months. This BS needs to be resolved and justice needs to be witnessed by voters before then.

  33.  @janetdotson7829  Thank you for explaining and I get that. But, shouldn't that be their answer, instead of shying away from what everyone is waiting on bated breath to hear? It's the avoidance that tRumptards pick up on to say, "You see? They're not going to prosecute tRump. If he was a criminal, then they would have arrested him by now." Meanwhile, the midterms clock is winding down and tRump's loyalists are already lined up. Republican states have rigged their election laws to be able to discard ballots virtually on a whim. Dems need to get their messaging happening and tRump needs to be indicted within the next few weeks or we'll find ourselves being subjected to Q-nut right wing ideological authoritarianism while inflicting unimaginable suffering upon future generations. Not that I'm some kind of fear monger, or anything like that. I simply believe in scientific data from a bunch of highly educated folks, with letters behind their names & all. They're not concerned with politics, in the least. Simply dedicated their lives to studying the mundane for a better understanding of nature. Anyway, I'm probably preaching to the choir, JS. BR.😎

  34. Why has MSM lost its mind? Too right that NATO and EU leaders shouldn't put their weght on the scales of our election. Yet, Costa ignores the answer and just keeps on pushing the narrative, "You can simply say yes or no." NO HE CAN'T!!!

  35. Prove it. Who illegally withheld thousands of top secret classified nuclear defense docs from the national archives and played hide and seek with the FBI?

  36. Biden beat tRump in 2020, didn't he? Biden saved our nation from the COVID pandemic shutdowns, supply chain disruptions, massive unemployment, and restored our economy to being the best post-pandemic economy in the world, didn't he? Biden rallied the free world of nations and strengthened NATO to stop Putin in Ukraine, didn't he? If you prefer a fast talking con man instead, then you're not qualified to vote, ESPECIALLY in this election.

  40. Rep. McCaul is nothing more than a MAGA mouthpiece for tRump's defense, trying to falsify the books of history. tRump betrayed our 20 + years of troops' blood sacrifices for nothing ore than political campaigning bragging points, while being fully aware that he would lose over being impeached, 9 MONTHS BEFORE THE 2020 ELECTION.. tRump simply set up Biden to become the fall guy to take the political hit of an inevitable chaotic withdrawal. tRump's only plan was political vengeance

  41. @ 5:00 "We have the experience of Tramp's 1st term of tariffs, which did not affect prices ..." FACT CHECK: Tramp's 1st term tariffs caused China to abandon US farmers' supply of soybeans and buy from S America, instead. US soybean farmers have been surviving on Federal welfare.

  42. Such a pleasure to watch Margaret interviewing both sides of the political divide, but also fact checking right wing misinformation to keep the narrative honest and truthful. Shame that other 'faux news' outlets don't have her level of integrity. Their irresponsible both-sides-isms for ratings is why today's voters are so confused. Their mics are drawn to big mouths and cameras to spectacles.

  43. Now, during our election season, is NOT the time for Congress to be inviting the ICC convicted monster of genocide into our chambers of Congress. WTH are they thinking? This is NOT a good look for our nation on the global stage. Netanyahu exploiting our Congress to regain global redemption? It only reflects upon US in the worst possible manner, with no up side. /smh

  45. McCarthy includes tRump's spending spree within his calculations, then blames the budget on Biden. Furthermore, the time to negotiate was while determining the appropriations budget and PRIOR to spending beyond that. When the mortgage payment is due, responsible people simply pay up instead of trying to negotiate with the lender.

  46.  @thomasK411  Do you have anything besides personal attacks against people you know nothing about? I'm not anyone's problem. MAGA is the entire nation's problem. Tell me about Project 2025, denying women's reproductive, and bibles in public schools. Then convince me that YOU are not indoctrinated ad brainwashed.

  47. R Congressman James has all of his rightwing propaganda queued up for non stop spewing. Kudos to Margaret for interrupting his BS. Tough question about cross border tariffs? Deflect to fentanyl fearmongering. "Thank you Congressman. We've got to leave it there..."

  48. Jeremy Powell is playing politics by maintaining artificially high interests rates that hurt poor voters the most, while benefiting corporate lenders the most. High interest rates suppress growth, by limiting investments and hiring. The filthy rich don't need to borrow and corporate shareholders will always cut their operating costs and wages. Powell's math is as flawed as Reaganomics, which NEVER trickles down and resulted in $34T national debt. Tech savvy young folks are defying Powell's obsolete calculations. Yes, the fed will keep suppressing our economy, until after the election, jst to inflict as much pain on the Biden administration as possible. Powell needs to be retired and replaced with a more modern thinking Chairman. "Republicans can't rive Everytime they get behind the wheel, they head straight into the gutter.

  49. By all means, let's remind voters about the 1st day of chaos during the Afghan 'withdrawal', which was played on a continuous news loop for over a year, without mentioning that it was tRump who betrayed the blood of our troops, wasted 20 years worth ($Trillions) of taxpayer funding, freed 5,000 Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Taliban terrorists from the Pakistani prison, secretly promised that they could have Afghanistan back UNDER BIDEN'S TERM, while being impeached, just for campaign bragging points. FACT: Our military succeeded in 'withdrawing' from Bagram air base, during the cloak of one night's darkness, without local Afghans even realizing. FACT: tRump had no intentions of evacuating and saving 125,000 of western citizens nor our Afghan allies. China? Remind voters that General Milley had to talk down his Chinese military counterparts against a preemptive nuclear attack upon US, had tRump's insurrection succeeded. BIDEN ALREADY NEGOTIATED THE RESUMPTION OF MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS WITH CHINA MONTHS AGO, DURING HIS SF MEETING WITH XI !! Why TF are you questioning whether it is happening?
