Bravo! Bravo Rick. As a liberal who works hard to model and engage in civil (if at times heated) discourse, this is refreshing in it's direct, honest, and delivered in an intelligent, humorous, and incredibly easy manner that could only come from One comfortable in their own shoes. I tip my hat and my glass sir.
Good needed discussion gentlemen. Thank you. So refreshing to hear adults discuss politics with intelligence and empathy. America deserves nothing less.👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🙏
Watching this in 2022. This guy was spot on about everything, esp predicting how Trump would react to losing election, though he talked about the mid-terms during Trump’s presidency.
Man, what Wilson said over a year ago makes him look like Nostradamus when he talked about Trump’s inability to deal with any serious economic crisis or other crisis should it ever hit the US...... wow.....
Lol well how are the democrats handling our current economic crisis? Not very well since they caused it intentionally. I could actually afford to get gas and groceries without needing a bank loan when trump was president. Not so much with the ignorant far left running this country into the ground. But yeah keep listening to this guy.... Didn't his little group recently get arrested for being pedos? Shocking
@@hamilton7798 really? How are you suffering? Do you need employment? Are you hungry? Do you have a place to live? Are you ill? Do you need health insurance?
Rick Wilson, I am so amazed that your genius has not been tapped. You're needed to educate American educators. Rick, many people are living in the 50's. Thank you so much for your candor and truth.
In all the programs , please put the actual recording date on it & leave it there for the duration of the program ‼️. I am glad to have heard Rick Wilson. He seems to really know his stuff. Thanks for giving me the perspective of Republicans that are not Trumpers. I am also sorry to hear about the death threats. It just goes to prove Trump is a dictator wannabe. He should have been impeached and he should be convicted of treasonous acts. Most of the republicans that are kissing Trump's ring should be ashamed of themselves. I think they've ruined their careers. It's unbelievable that they could stoop so low. They have no intention of helping the American people unless they are rich or are a big corporation. I hope I live long enough to find out how history is treating them. Some of them should be tarred & feathered. Thank God they never defeated Obama Care. They never came up with a new insurance plan even though they tried & are still trying to get rid of Obama Care. It must be terrible for them to be so jealous & defeated.
I'm a liberal social-democratic European, but I can absolutely listen to this one, suddenly a half hour have passed, and I'm a little bit less afraid of the madness happening in USA.
@@ghill88 I understand, and on the other side of the Atlantic, as a tiny nation, part of NATO, that those very powers are so ready to toss away, is also something that have made me myself terrified of what's been going on in the USA. I know that if ever the Cold War would get really HOT, the armies of the Soviet/Russia, would pass through my nation. So what's happening in your country, is very much relevant for what's happening in my own. God bless you and yours.
@@ghill88 We are very afraid of Trumpism....but we are now learning about the danger we face....and we are fighting back! No guarantees, but I have faith in democracy and the rule of law...As an African American, I have plenty of experience in struggling for democracy....we are winning, that's the reason for this backlash 😏🤗😚😒😎
@@elvenkind6072 Thank you for sharing this....we are on different continents, and in different countries...hut we are all solidily on the same planet! We are each other's keeper!
@@elvenkind6072 The danger is still there in the US. But I think NATO countries are pretty safe under the EU security umbrella. They have superiority in conventional forces to push out a Russian invasion. There's even a nuclear deterrent with France and potentially the UK.

Check out David Cay Johnston. He's a tax expert that's been following Trump around for over 25 years. he's a Republican that will tell you all of the dirt on Trump.
He’s a shallow accuser, heavy on generalization s and light on facts. He accuses Us of room temperature intelligence well having the audacity to usher in Biden as a viable alternative.
This discussion is still so relevant today (unfortunately). Why are these thugs (Trump, Bannon, Stone…) still walking free? It boggles the mind!!! Sad reality!
Thank you Rick ... so nice to hear truth with facts. Thank you for trying to save our country's soul. You are not alone and WE THE PEOPLE SUPPORT YOU :)
I'm listening to this as 2022 is right around the corner. Excellent interview. You predicted he was going to declare everything illegitimate regarding him losing the 2020 election although I think you were speaking about the 2018 elections.
Rick is fantastic. Will buy his book. I'm not an American, however It is disturbing seeing the damage trump is causing to democracy. Can’t wait for it to be over and he is out of office..

Thank God Trump is out of office. One thing is the republicants in the senate,many are as corrupt as the Teflon Donald,they remain in the senate as his mafia family. America is in trouble and Democrats better start being boulder with the other side.
Its February 2022, I have been watching Rick and Tara on Lincoln Project for almost a year. In my opinion, the republican party is almost dissolved; therefore, that opens the door for the Democrat party to splinter...and that's what the younger generation will do. I am not young, I am retired. That's my prediction, take it for all its worth!
"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be beieved." "The victor will never be asked if he told the truth." "All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach." Adolf Hitler, Trump's mentor and hero. Too many people were killed in the most horrific manner by Hitler's Third Reich and Nazi Party. If you thought Pearl Habor was bad, you still see the many scars left behind when you visit the British Isles and the European mainland. My sister and I visited Amsterdam when I was 19 (I'm now 65) and became more aware of the brutal and wicked atrocities inflicked on innocent people throughout Holland. If you have the opportunity to go to Amsterdam you must visit 'Ann Frank's House' and strike up a conversation with the older residents, you might just learn how to make 'Tulip Bulb Soup' and extend a half a loaf of bread to last a week. Please don't think that couldn't happen here, Germany was a Democratic Nation when Hitler came to power. "Bad things happen when good people do nothing" I believe that's how the saying goes. But I do know that sometimes good people when approached by an evil extreme, can't really absorb the negative energy right away. Take Trump, his Administration and the Republican Party seriously. Please go vote because that's the true strength of 'We the People' and take a moment to check with your Town/ City Clerk that you are registered to vote even if you have in the past. Remember NOV. 6th, or vote early.
I had a 19 inch computer screen and was going through Google earth and it seemed like I was driving through there. I went to the German polish border on the screen and the German side was like normal scenery, different buildings similar to the states. When I went the polish side on my screen I could see on the fields all the mazes of buildings that had once been there. Almost all of western Poland was like that. It's like the communist just put buildings anywhere without really building over the buildings that had been destroyed. After all these years the scars of ww2 are still there. This was in 2013 I think.
Laurie: What an EXTRAORDINARY Wise and Fine Human being YOU are ! We good Americans, as YOU Point Out, are just as vulnerable as Germans were at Hitler's political time. We have overcome the "Hitler wannabes", we have survived and restored OUR Values after too many MASS Atrocities recently. trSCUMp IS deadly serious about wanting to be another wannabe Hitler Tyrant ! His TREASONOUS Bullet barely missed OUR Democratic Brains! IT was the "Hand of GOD" that helped so many Americans "Do the Right Thing" on Jan. 6 th: General Milley stopping ALL Branches of OUR Armed Forces from obeying trSCUMp's I'll-legal demands; the Bravery of OUR Capital Police; V.P. Pence Standing Up to murderous trSCUMp, at the risk of losing his LIFE, and CERTIFYING the 2020 Presidential Election for Biden !
I get the feeling that most of those people who run campaigns and do PR for candidates are turned on by playing the game with no concern for the long term consequences. The same as those teenage boys who lock themselves in the basement and play for hours trying to destroy their opponent. Rick said he had put up negative ads, so he is also to blame for the mess we are in today, although I do agree with him about the tax cut and Bannon.
I am rewatching this in February 2022 and wow. This man knew exactly what he was talking about. And here we are left with chaos that we may never recover from and he (orange man), is still in the background stirring it all up.
When he said that bit about how the "candidate needs to be novel, Trump is novel"... yeah he's novel alright, He is COVID-45! The Novel corona virus president.
Hi Rick, can we use “Everything Trump Touches Dies” as a short slogan that can get the sane part of country saying. We need about 5 or 6 strong ones to just repeat over and over again between right now through 2024. May we use it. I am just a concerned citizen who is thinking we need to beat Trump at his own game……only we will be saying the truth.
As a Staunch conservative and constitutionalist while being a huge Trump supporter, this guy is the living embodiment of projection. I 100% call bullshit on his first story. No conservative in the audience would truly expect a fellow conservative to blindly follow anyone; ANYONE. Period. We are a peoples of open dialogue with staunch morale. Then after that bold opening fabrication, he trinkles in all the soft, lefty talking points that in no way describes a conservative. Just listen to his rhetoric; on par with a Bolshevik when opposed for being too radical. He called for a public flogging and re-education of someone he disagrees with for crying out loud. The cognitive dissonance and lack of fortitude to dive into self introspection is antithetical to Republican values. He is a RINO clear as day. True conservatives won’t have him for obvious reasons to us. No wonder he talks to crowds of sheep like this.
@@estebansantiago2670 When I first saw you comment, I thought it had to be from 3 years ago because nobody that’s paid any attention to Trump and the GOP since that time would ever make your comment. It’s well-known that Trump is obsessed with one-way loyalty. He always, always points the finger at someone else, but expects 100% loyalty in return. Name any perceived error on policy or an issue or a tweet or action ever that he has claimed was his responsibility? You can’t, because his responses are to deflect, blame, say “what about Hilary/Obama/Democrats/anyone else?” Or LIE. The entire governmental documents in Mar-A-Lago issue is perfectly representative of this. Anyone who has “opposed” Trump, refuted elections deniers, suggested anything less than perfection - has been censured by the party, lost power or their seat, been called out by the party in some way - especially as a RINO. 🙄🤣 The party you are describing is long gone.
To read about Steven Miller and David Horowitz is really an eye opener to understand what Trump said, what his supporters say and how they demonize the democrats, demonize migrants, Muslims and use the language of the left against the left.
Especially good about Trump, for obvious reasons, and spot on about Steve Bannon. Wrong about Nancy Pelosi, who has been spectacularly effective with a a slim majority.
Have you watched the videos of DAVID CAY JOHNSON yet? There’s one called, “It’s worse than you think.” Trump is a NARCISSISTIC PSYCHOPATH, nothing less. I’ve crossed paths with one. It cost me my health and around six figures. A total con artist, just like Trump.
I wonder what he would think about February through June of 2020? Because I think a dumpster fire was taken to the dump and caught the rest of the dump on fire too.
yup. There are so few "Republicans" left....I don't know what to call the Trumpeteers: bombthrowers, K Street lobbyists, bullshit eaters...? I only listen to a Republican if/when I hear something that appears to be "fiscal responsibility".
@Robert Robinson cute. Methinks you're projecting a bit too much. Can you explain how/why the lion's share of the Republican PArty decried Democrats every time the federal debt limit had to be raised, yet EAILY did it in 2017...and added @$1.2 trillion ot the debt? IT'S SO OBVIOUSLY HYPROCRITICAL, DIGUSTING AND UNAMERICAN....AND THE BANK OF CHINA OWNS @60% OF THE DEBT. AAt a minimum, Democrat overspending is within U.S> borders....with almost all of Obama's overspending involving getting @30 mllion Americans access to health insurance, including @18q million" kids'...0-18 years old....and INVESTMENT. Trump's tax cuts....mostly left the country or involved companies' buying back unsold public stock....inflating/overvaluing the stock. (bubble? TBD.) Obama just cleaned up the last Republican mess....that derivativd /homomre mortgage "scandal" 2 months before he left office.
So much of this - viewed from 2 years in the future - is perfect prognostication - right down to the Trump declaring the 2020 election 'stolen'. I don't think Rick foresaw Jan 6 2021 - but he hints at the possibility. I'd like to have Rick 'review' the period from October 2020 to June 2021.
During the summer of 2020 Rick and Steve Schmidt were warning about probable violence between November 3rd and January of 2021 after they had spoken to Mary Trump and then Trump's comment about the Proud Boys during the first Presidential debate on September 29th 2020 telling them to stand by for his orders and they responded to Trump directly...
I sure hope the DNC would study this video and learn something such as how to win!! Rick Wilson is trying to help you, for real. I am a lifelong democrat and I bought the book when it first came out and loved it, but I also agree with him about his assessment of the weak kneed democratic party.
I am thinking that the Republican Party is an excellent teacher, and slow learning Democrats are quickly getting up to speed...see Biden's 2022, January 6th message to the nation.
The DNC spent the past ten years trying to sell transgender bathrooms while the GOP was working on gerrymandering the rust belt and setting up to stack the Supreme Court to eliminate abortion and gay rights. They have no interest in learning, they're only into lecturing at the serfs.
Wilson warned that, at this point, Trump hadn't actually faced a major crisis. I said the same thing the day Trump won in 2016: the moment he faced a real crisis, we were screwed. And then COVID-19 came along and my worst fears were confirmed. Trump did exactly what he has always done in the face of a crisis: he ran away and left others (in this case, state governors) to deal with his mess.
I was in the military during the time he was talking about I was in augsburg GE, I was one of the last to get to see the wall before it got taken down. Pretty fascinating to see in person especially out in the countryside. he is right about the cold war era are you have to do is make a mistake and you would be part of an international incident. we constantly got all sorts of warnings if we were near the border for any reason. I love the way he describes to repubs
@@jeffreyhagelin6047 what facts are you referring to. Can you provide proof that Trump lives off credit . The left lives off lies and deception, produce the proof.
Micheal Tull 1. There is not a bank in the country that will touch him. 2.. The amount of bankruptcies he's gone through motivates his monetary decisions. 3. Look no further than the administration's budget deficits and even you with your limited comprehension skills will understand ! 😁 PS,,,,, Mueller will fill in the rest, dumpster !
U.S. Constitution - Fourteenth Amendment - Section 3 No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
@6:02 My first vote in 1980 was Jimmy Carter. What a kind, upstanding, virtuous man Carter was then, and remains so to this day. God blessed us with Jimmy Carter.
The donor class likes giving money to strong Republicans and weak Democrats. The result was easily predictable. The long range result is a dystopian nightmare.
I really like this perspective -- you can be a Republican and disagree with the narrow view that the current administration has. We fought against a King- we do not need a president who thinks of himself as a successor to Louis XIV

and stranger in October 2020. Why couldn't the virus have done to Trump what it has done to too many Americans!!
Even stranger in December 2020
@@laurenwalker1048 And even stranger after January 6, 2020!
How does it feel now after 1/6/21 and the after math ... why didn’t we take this more seriously
Absolutely breathtaking
Hi Rick, can we use “Everything Trump Touches Dies” as a short slogan that can get the sane part of country saying. We need about 5 or 6 strong ones to just repeat over and over again between right now through 2024. May we use it. I am just a concerned citizen who is thinking we need to beat Trump at his own game……only we will be saying the truth.
“We should be grateful we as a country have yet to face an actual foreign policy crisis or economic crisis.” 🤦♂️
MarcAuger-how about our health(covid19) crisis?
Bout o
All hat and no cattle. I love that quote
Me too, says a lot eh?
Going back and watching this….he’s speaking ALL FACTS THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW…..weird seeing a Republican WILLINGLY fighting against their OWN cult.
As a Staunch conservative and constitutionalist while being a huge Trump supporter, this guy is the living embodiment of projection.
I 100% call bullshit on his first story. No conservative in the audience would truly expect a fellow conservative to blindly follow anyone; ANYONE. Period. We are a peoples of open dialogue with staunch morale.
Then after that bold opening fabrication, he trinkles in all the soft, lefty talking points that in no way describes a conservative.
Just listen to his rhetoric; on par with a Bolshevik when opposed for being too radical. He called for a public flogging and re-education of someone he disagrees with for crying out loud.
The cognitive dissonance and lack of fortitude to dive into self introspection is antithetical to Republican values.
He is a RINO clear as day. True conservatives won’t have him for obvious reasons to us. No wonder he talks to crowds of sheep like this.
@@estebansantiago2670 When I first saw you comment, I thought it had to be from 3 years ago because nobody that’s paid any attention to Trump and the GOP since that time would ever make your comment.
It’s well-known that Trump is obsessed with one-way loyalty. He always, always points the finger at someone else, but expects 100% loyalty in return. Name any perceived error on policy or an issue or a tweet or action ever that he has claimed was his responsibility? You can’t, because his responses are to deflect, blame, say “what about Hilary/Obama/Democrats/anyone else?” Or LIE. The entire governmental documents in Mar-A-Lago issue is perfectly representative of this.
Anyone who has “opposed” Trump, refuted elections deniers, suggested anything less than perfection - has been censured by the party, lost power or their seat, been called out by the party in some way - especially as a RINO. 🙄🤣
The party you are describing is long gone.
Today is 1/10/22… what does Rick Wilson think NOW of the Republican Party?!? Oh my, you can’t even recognize it anymore. 🤔
Dear Rick Wilson, we told you so. The word is "deplorable."
@Lisa Reed: Yes, Hillary was right. She also got 3 million more votes.
Rick was telling people how bad Trump was in 2015, but only Hillary was listening 🙄
So true
BRAVO!!
Love Rick every time he speaks!!
More like Rick and ANERICA WILL BE GREST AGAIN!!
( without trump )
Very interesting watch...surprised I hadn't seen it earlier...I've been saying it for several years now...Steven Miller = Joseph Goebbels
Absolutely agree with you assessment
To read about Steven Miller and David Horowitz is really an eye opener to understand what Trump said, what his supporters say and how they demonize the democrats, demonize migrants, Muslims and use the language of the left against the left.
Miller even looks like Goebbels!
Don't know why I did not see this earlier; this should be a mandatory watch for all, Democrats and Republicans.
Especially good about Trump, for obvious reasons, and spot on about Steve Bannon. Wrong about Nancy Pelosi, who has been spectacularly effective with a a slim majority.
Damn, this is a lot worse than I could have imagined.
Have you watched the videos of DAVID CAY JOHNSON yet? There’s one called, “It’s worse than you think.” Trump is a NARCISSISTIC PSYCHOPATH, nothing less. I’ve crossed paths with one. It cost me my health and around six figures. A total con artist, just like Trump.
This IS a lot worse. And what’s even worse and more mind blowing is his ‘base’ still vehemently defends every tweet.
Oh thank you for finally saying how horrible Bannon is! I have been saying it for years!
I enjoy his intelligence. Let’s benefit from this forced collaboration.
I wonder what he would think about February through June of 2020? Because I think a dumpster fire was taken to the dump and caught the rest of the dump on fire too.
I actually laughed out loud!
Time to reform electoral college, supreme court and white house. Term limits in congress
Rick Wilson, smart and funny.
Unfortunately he's right about our presidential race being more about a popularity contest than anything else.
He told this story 2018.
The criminal accountable for the biggest part of violence plays golf at his Florida home.
What's wrong with this society?
Wow, I enjoyed this knowledgable interview....and the guest is a Republican! There IS HOPE.
yup. There are so few "Republicans" left....I don't know what to call the Trumpeteers: bombthrowers, K Street lobbyists, bullshit eaters...? I only listen to a Republican if/when I hear something that appears to be "fiscal responsibility".
@Robert Robinson cute. Methinks you're projecting a bit too much. Can you explain how/why the lion's share of the Republican PArty decried Democrats every time the federal debt limit had to be raised, yet EAILY did it in 2017...and added @$1.2 trillion ot the debt? IT'S SO OBVIOUSLY HYPROCRITICAL, DIGUSTING AND UNAMERICAN....AND THE BANK OF CHINA OWNS @60% OF THE DEBT. AAt a minimum, Democrat overspending is within U.S> borders....with almost all of Obama's overspending involving getting @30 mllion Americans access to health insurance, including @18q million" kids'...0-18 years old....and INVESTMENT. Trump's tax cuts....mostly left the country or involved companies' buying back unsold public stock....inflating/overvaluing the stock. (bubble? TBD.) Obama just cleaned up the last Republican mess....that derivativd /homomre mortgage "scandal" 2 months before he left office.
And job as Americans is to stay active and hopeful.
Love Rick wilson
Now I understand why I see this guy on MSNBC . This is the decent, intelligent man who's my Grandfather's Republican. Welcome!
Decent may be a bridge too far, but it's close. He's very intelligent. If all Republicans were like him, the country would be a much better place.
Oh please MicStupid. This guys a crook. Can u name an honest conservative.
@@MsUtubess 👍
@Patricia...if you watch MSNBC you're either an idiot or just a communist. Probably both...
I like his use of words... scathing! Yes, I said it, and mean it 🤔 😁☺️😀🤔🙂😒🤗😏😎
Very funny and also true
So much of this - viewed from 2 years in the future - is perfect prognostication - right down to the Trump declaring the 2020 election 'stolen'. I don't think Rick foresaw Jan 6 2021 - but he hints at the possibility. I'd like to have Rick 'review' the period from October 2020 to June 2021.
During the summer of 2020 Rick and Steve Schmidt were warning about probable violence between November 3rd and January of 2021 after they had spoken to Mary Trump and then Trump's comment about the Proud Boys during the first Presidential debate on September 29th 2020 telling them to stand by for his orders and they responded to Trump directly...
Compliment? Savage? Yes, this fellow calls it like it is: Everything Trump Touches Dies”
I sure hope the DNC would study this video and learn something such as how to win!! Rick Wilson is trying to help you, for real. I am a lifelong democrat and I bought the book when it first came out and loved it, but I also agree with him about his assessment of the weak kneed democratic party.
I am thinking that the Republican Party is an excellent teacher, and slow learning Democrats are quickly getting up to speed...see Biden's 2022, January 6th message to the nation.
The DNC spent the past ten years trying to sell transgender bathrooms while the GOP was working on gerrymandering the rust belt and setting up to stack the Supreme Court to eliminate abortion and gay rights. They have no interest in learning, they're only into lecturing at the serfs.
Wilson warned that, at this point, Trump hadn't actually faced a major crisis. I said the same thing the day Trump won in 2016: the moment he faced a real crisis, we were screwed. And then COVID-19 came along and my worst fears were confirmed. Trump did exactly what he has always done in the face of a crisis: he ran away and left others (in this case, state governors) to deal with his mess.
I was in the military during the time he was talking about I was in augsburg GE, I was one of the last to get to see the wall before it got taken down. Pretty fascinating to see in person especially out in the countryside. he is right about the cold war era are you have to do is make a mistake and you would be part of an international incident. we constantly got all sorts of warnings if we were near the border for any reason.
I love the way he describes to repubs
Miller: Exactly.
“A fraud and a joke”
is now the president of the United States
“a clown living on credit.”‼️‼️
You Mad.. Hillary lost...
I challenge anyone to prove that POS Wilson is right about Trump living off credit .
Micheal Tull
People like you won't believe the hard facts when they hit you on the head. There's already been too much damage done.
@@jeffreyhagelin6047 what facts are you referring to. Can you provide proof that Trump lives off credit . The left lives off lies and deception, produce the proof.
Micheal Tull
1. There is not a bank in the country that will touch him.
2.. The amount of bankruptcies he's gone through motivates his monetary decisions.
3. Look no further than the administration's budget deficits and even you with your limited comprehension skills will understand ! 😁
PS,,,,, Mueller will fill in the rest, dumpster !
Trumpet drained the swamp into his lake to see what he could steal!
Yeah watching June 2020 still true. You could almost be my favorite Republican if I could stand them.
Watching at the end of 2021. Uncanny.
Love one another ...love is an action verb.
Love the statement, "Unfortunately, this time the mark was the Republican Party and the conservative movement and about 40% of Americans".
Conservative Republicans are only 28 % of American s NOT 40% remember 50% of eligible voters DON'T VOTE
the truth @ 90 m p h thanxz rick very rare vetran
...one can not be a dictator without a mob behind him
Wish there were more RICK WILSONS.
Thanks Commonwealth Club.☺ Thanks John Zipperer (Political Round Table).☺ Thanks Rick Wilson (Everything Trump Touches Dies).☺

Rick Wilson is Brillant!
Great writer and funny...Rick Wilson....
Richard Ojeda could kick ass on TV and put Trump in his place in a debate.
Thank you for the feeling here is bipartisan.
Boy, i hope Trump sees this clip !!
Wilson has outed himself.......latest GOP advertisement “they think you’re a joke”. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
I would imagine Rick has no problem with ousting himself from the current GOP
Australia has radical Christians that love trump.
This guy is brilliant, this is my first exposure to the guy. He is funny af "cancer with legs"?
Rick Wilson is wrong about the fight being on television..... It's on social media, AND television, AND YT, and in the streets.
exactly what I thought too
And the Right are about to slaughter you lot of mugs in the mid terms,when are you clowns going to wake up the future is RED
This may have been recorded some time ago.
....and at the dinner table...at family reunions....waiting rooms in hospitals etc. (sigh)
It needs to be in the streets a lot more. Those voices can't be as easily manipulated or silenced by corporate media.
@6:02 My first vote in 1980 was Jimmy Carter. What a kind, upstanding, virtuous man Carter was then, and remains so to this day. God blessed us with Jimmy Carter.
A former Darth Vader who turned against the dark side. Heard him 2 years after this, now he hangs with Obiwan.
The donor class likes giving money to strong Republicans and weak Democrats. The result was easily predictable. The long range result is a dystopian nightmare.
It would be great to have a follow-up video to this!
Indeed.
It would?
There is another YT upload by Commonwealth Club Jan.22 2020 with Rick Wilson it’s great it’ll blow your mind 🤯
@@bobbyb5215 Thank you for the info!
@@bobbyb5215 before 2015, you knew nothing of this clown show….he creates a grifting campaign of no values, and you fall for it.
So the good people, the moral people are done. How sad.
I really like this perspective -- you can be a Republican and disagree with the narrow view that the current administration has. We fought against a King- we do not need a president who thinks of himself as a successor to Louis XIV
