Good interview. I can't help but feel " too little too late". But it has to start somewhere. I'm amazed at how corrupt and self serving senators are. I'm 66 feeling so betrayed, sickened to see the limitless lies allowed. How is this even possible?
I’m 62. We’ve been watching the corruption build since 1968, silently or not. A sit-com of entertainment politics. The military’s industrial complex gone mad. Money worship becoming the state religion. But we are not that shallow. It is not what we would choose for our babies.
I have been taking solace in the first person accounts of Republican Voters Against Trump and believing that there is a movement of people who will vote for democrat for the first time in their lives in order to vote for America.
I'm 70 and, in my opinion, the worst started with Reagan and his policies and rhetoric. Nixon was caught doing something both parties are guilty of doing, always have done and I'm sure still do. He at least pulled us out of Vietnam and he did have a single payer health care plan. However, I still believe that the last decent Republican president was Eisenhower
This country worships celebrity and we're too unwilling to believe our own eyes and ears when someone lies convincingly. Basically I think it comes down to education. Republicans have underfunded and undermined and undercut education for decades and this is the result. Was this their goal,? I don't know but it's a clear result; an ignorant and educated electorate is easier to manipulate and control.
FINALLY! Here is a man, a true man! He is accepting his responsibility for assisting the Republican party in gaining control of the government and for placing Trump as the president. This is what a 'good' person does they assume responsibility for their actions and hold themselves accountable.
Personal responsibility. The hallmark of the Republican party of yore. It is no more. It has become the party of corruption and evil. Mr. Stevens should start a new party of decency and see that its candidates win. I won't vote for any of them. I have become a rest-of-my-life Democrat.
You know he could see the hand writing on the "wall" way before the election and the cheating to win . NOW he's trying to save face and maybe go to jail ?! Sorry buddy , too little too late. If you're so smart....FIX IT !
It's worse than that, George W Bush lost the popular vote but his win was due to a partisan, corrupt Supreme Court. The electoral college was supposed to be an emergency tool to stop a demagogue who'd won the election basically by lying to voters -- not to elevate a liar who *loses* the election!
Thank goodness our forefathers were so brilliant. Slave states were trying to get representation for the slaves but not allow them to vote. They duked it out over this subject for weeks in Philadelphia. If they would have gotten than, they would have received more votes. Would that have been fair?
The electoral college is the tip of the iceberg. The US political system is structurally designed to guarantee white supremacy until the end of time. Take the senate. The 14 least populated red states have about the same number of people, combined, as does California. These red states get 28 Republican senators and California gets 2 Democrats. Republicans have used these structural guard rails to generate additional warped guarantees via gerrymandering and voter suppression. Throw in a little Russian interference, a stacked Supreme Court, and, possibly, some strategies of corruption that have not even been revealed, and you know damn well that Democrats will never gain power. We are about 75% into a fascist takeover, and with the COVID pandemic providing a plausible narrative for Draconian measures, I'd be surprised if anything resembling a fair election takes place in my lifetime.
Refreshing honesty. Not sure why but I really needed to hear this right now. Maybe it’s just the acknowledgment that they’re all aware they’ve sold their souls.

This is what we need. People like him admitting he was wrong and accepting responsibility. Rare breed in deed. Wealth and greed is a danger to democracy.
I think the American people have to step up to their multiple issues and decide what they want. Ie, capitalism vs socialism, the true intention of socialism in caring for the American people, and not labelled as “communist “ . There are many other issues to deal with as well such as higher education for everyone who is capable, not just for those who have money to pay for it, or in fact, buy a degree in whatever which results in idiots in positions of trust and in control.

Now wouldn't it be nice if the rest of the american people could be so humble. America is severely lacking humility. Americans are just to busy running around preaching how great they are. A truly great nation has no need to advertise or tout how great they are. It would be obvious.
Excellent interview. I'm a reformed republican (now independent) and it was nice to hear this man's disgust for the GOP and it's lack of morals. I too was particularly trouble that the only republican who voted for Trump's removal was Romney. That single event pretty much sums up today's GOP.
Completely. Separate from the incompetency, the tribalism is at fault. And unfortunately many Red State residents are going to lose their lives because of it. I think the worst part, worse than the refusal to acknowledge fact and science which is pretty bad on its own, is the arrogance....the inability to vehemently acknowledge a mistake or a wrong decision regardless of scale. Not the small ones and bot the big ones.

This is the most important truth. Watching from outside America, it is horrifying and terrifying and immeasurably sad to see vast numbers of Americans reject knowledge, expertise, education, FACTS. Why choose medieval obscurantism? It’s like the start of the Dark Ages, when the science and engineering and expertise of the Greeks and Romans was lost and society was run by clerics, based on superstition. Remember, rejecting facts is ALWAYS to control. Don’t believe your eyes, believe me is ALWAYS about control.
Hanny Hawkins You don’t get it. Most of our citizens are below 90 IQ. Basically all that is taught in America is dependence on the establishment. People really do support Trump without accepting any criticism of their Orange God. A trust fund baby who dodged the draft is a tough guy in America. The citizens here are soft. Just look at everyone buying toilet paper and paper towels. How stupid can you get.
Stuart Stevens - thank you very much! I admire your honesty and your passion for personal accountability. This should be required viewing for all Trump sycophants/ cult members!
I'm an Eisenhower or Goldwater Republican. And i agree. I doubt i will ever again vote republican. I hope i can.....but we need to be out of power long enough (to rip off a phrase) truly drain that swamp. Trump has filled it with slime.
They wont change. Neither will the democratic party. In 2012, the Republican party said they would take a look at themselves and see why minorities wont vote for them. In 2016 they run a racist. In 2016 Democrats runs a centrist who appeals to no one. 2020, looks like they are doing the same
Con men, narcissists, etc. have undeveloped, specific brain cortex areas that allow for any type of self-awareness or reflection. Therefore, people like Trump are incapable of realistic self- examination and any thought about striving for a higher level of consciousness. It appears Mr. Stevens has been able to do so.
I'm so glad that this man was able to self reflect and speak the truth. The Republican Party is dying and it's trying to take the whole of America with it.
Trisha Hawkins I get what you’re saying but unfortunately it’s not actually dying. Almost seems the actual people in place are going to need to die & fast if we ever expect to experience a change. Even then, there’s no guarantee in their replacements.
Jim jones cost 900 some odd lives...the Republican party is making that look like a day at the park right now. Make no mistake about it, they are killing just the same, they have the blood of Americans on their hands.
@Vlavitir glutginskiya - there's no excuse for being racist to anyone. But what's that got to do with the criminal incompetence and unhindered corruption of Trump enabled and empowered by the Republican Party. They could stop him but they happily go along with him.
It is Courageous Americans like this that speak out, give me hope for the future of my beloved country. Trump is what intelligence circles call a "useful idiot" for Putin's agenda to discredit America's standing in the world.
Exactly what I thought. When you hear Trump's followers support him regardless of what lie he tells, it's very concerning. My spouse, who voted for him, thankfully has decided that Trump is nuts. There is hope.

There is no such thing as white evangelicals, if they are evangelicals they will not even believe in half of what they believe. It’s simple: Tribalism and they all know it.

Mr. Stevens , people change, it happens often. You sit in a very unique position, you can speak truth to power and be the shinning example for others. Act in a way that makes people question their own actions. We each have a duty to our community to serve and help make it better. You have learned a great lesson , if you don't act on that it will all be for nothing.

"Conservative" means that in America. In e.g. many European countris with long history with leftist/social democratic politics "conservative" means the opposite, because the progression has been firmly towards the right after the collapse of the USSR and "conservatives" always want to preserve the old ways. Conservative doesn't always mean right wing and liberal doesn't always mean left wing
@otownrvr fair enough... if that's your definition of liberal here's my definition of conservative: an immoral person or ideology in which the only important thing is to "conserve" their ability to steal anything of value by any means or lie needed to do so, the end goal being to keep people from financial freedom that would cause them to reject the corruption of the party as a whole, thereby ending any chance that they will ever be a force in this country's political future. They are a party of aging white bigots, and the entitled wealthy, terrified of the day when they are the minority and their mendacity is repaid in full.
Education is very important, because what you learn gives you the ability to make things better. Knowledge is power, how you use the power is what defines a person.
A huge part of our turn forward is to learn respect for long term intelligence again. Just as the founders did in their time. The monarchy we have to overthrow in our time is the power of mindless money worship, the zombies of false business as usual, the politics of cannibalism.

Actually, there are. The “alternative facts” that are being thrown around are usually taken out of scientific studies that have different results. We have seen how this happens: sometimes it is errors that were missed that cause different outcomes; sometimes it is purposefully done for money or to cover up a negative response that is harmful to a company or an industry; sometimes it is differences in the testing process. Yet, the differing set of conclusions are presented as factual without discussing how the differences came about. The facts are also represented as a final result, and that part is the lie. Scientific study depends upon repeatable results, and only either supports a hypothesis or not. Evidence from a tested hypothesis allows a theoretical position on some aspect of our reality to be developed. Theories become accepted as valid models when they have a preponderance of evidence to support them. So...I observe something and it makes me think I see a pattern. I decide to test it. I form a hypothesis: when people are thinking about how they physically feel, their eyes will move to look down and left. I create a study design: I ask 100 people to answer a question. How does your right shoulder feel right now? A second person watches and verifies eye movement. 100 out of 100 people did move their eyes to the down left position after being asked, and before answering. The hypothesis is supported. I propose a theory that eye movement reflects thoughts in some manner. I design more tests. This is not my idea, but is a subject that I read about and I did conduct the test for a class in psychology in H.S. If you’re interested: down left: how the person is feeling. (We asked, Do you think you are getting a cold) Up left or up center: a past memory. (We asked what main color was the outside of the first home you recall living in.) Up right: imagination or future forecasting. (We asked what kind of house do you see yourself living in in 20 years) side note...ask a person to tell you a lie and their eyes will also go up and right as they think one up, but that doesn’t mean any movement to the right indicates a lie. For example, ask them to pick a name for a shaggy dog and their eyes will go up and right, too, or even more likely go to center up then to right and up. It’s likely they are picturing a shaggy dog they have a memory of, then thinking of a name...imagining how it will fit the dog they pictured. It was a really fun project to do...

@Valerie Price Cool. Tell that to Bernie Sanders who REFUSED to take money from big corp and raised more than any other D candidate. He apparently struck a nerve as centrists Democrats rallied to defeat his campaign. However, the truth still remains: Sanders ran on the Democratic ticket.

It's worse than that, George W Bush lost the popular vote but his win was due to a partisan, corrupt Supreme Court.
The electoral college was supposed to be an emergency tool to stop a demagogue who'd won the election basically by lying to voters -- not to elevate a liar who *loses* the election!

Thank goodness our forefathers were so brilliant. Slave states were trying to get representation for the slaves but not allow them to vote. They duked it out over this subject for weeks in Philadelphia. If they would have gotten than, they would have received more votes. Would that have been fair?
The electoral college is the tip of the iceberg. The US political system is structurally designed to guarantee white supremacy until the end of time. Take the senate. The 14 least populated red states have about the same number of people, combined, as does California. These red states get 28 Republican senators and California gets 2 Democrats. Republicans have used these structural guard rails to generate additional warped guarantees via gerrymandering and voter suppression. Throw in a little Russian interference, a stacked Supreme Court, and, possibly, some strategies of corruption that have not even been revealed, and you know damn well that Democrats will never gain power. We are about 75% into a fascist takeover, and with the COVID pandemic providing a plausible narrative for Draconian measures, I'd be surprised if anything resembling a fair election takes place in my lifetime.
Listening to Mr. Stuart Stevens, he mentions groups that attack Education. Do you know what is he talking about? Thanks love to hear your take.

Completely. Separate from the incompetency, the tribalism is at fault. And unfortunately many Red State residents are going to lose their lives because of it.

This is the most important truth. Watching from outside America, it is horrifying and terrifying and immeasurably sad to see vast numbers of Americans reject knowledge, expertise, education, FACTS. Why choose medieval obscurantism? It’s like the start of the Dark Ages, when the science and engineering and expertise of the Greeks and Romans was lost and society was run by clerics, based on superstition. Remember, rejecting facts is ALWAYS to control. Don’t believe your eyes, believe me is ALWAYS about control.
If only they'd take that route.
Hanny Hawkins You don’t get it. Most of our citizens are below 90 IQ. Basically all that is taught in America is dependence on the establishment. People really do support Trump without accepting any criticism of their Orange God. A trust fund baby who dodged the draft is a tough guy in America. The citizens here are soft.

I really like this conversation I think it’s very productive
conservative = conserving a system where all money goes to the top no matter what the cost
Ebbrush3 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"Conservative" means that in America. In e.g. many European countris with long history with leftist/social democratic politics "conservative" means the opposite, because the progression has been firmly towards the right after the collapse of the USSR and "conservatives" always want to preserve the old ways. Conservative doesn't always mean right wing and liberal doesn't always mean left wing
@otownrvr fair enough... if that's your definition of liberal here's my definition of conservative: an immoral person or ideology in which the only important thing is to "conserve" their ability to steal anything of value by any means or lie needed to do so, the end goal being to keep people from financial freedom that would cause them to reject the corruption of the party as a whole, thereby ending any chance that they will ever be a force in this country's political future.

NO Terry! 95% of current repubs still back Drumpf! DO you really think that the R party just miraculously changed? It should have been called the IDIOT Party since Nixon's impeachment trial!
Actually the Republicans have been morphed into a new party called the Trump Organization - committed to the self-enrichment of Trump and his dysfunctional family.
@@garycherwonick8429 Actually, the Trump org is spelled DRUMPF. His grandfather came to the US from Germany and the family name dropped the f in the end. I'm just putting his first initial with his last name. D is for DUMBO. Hence, Dumbo Trumpf. Hope it helps you somewhat cope with this cova sh*t going around.
"Its a short walk to Jim Jones" and guess whos running the Koolaid stand!
Trump
Yet another R' claiming the party has gone away.
and 600 THOUSAND Blacks said the same about the Dems in 2016.
I am shaking my head and wondering how this guy could have aligned himself with corruption for so long...just to "win".
Diane Young, What's on it for him now that he's ? Changed tack? Trust him???
Most ofvus do the same. Easy to judge
M O N E Y.
And now he's selling us his book.
@@monicaangelini3324 No we do not do the same. He created strategies to elect republicans for decades. We blame Trump for all this, but they have mesmerize the idiot American public for decades with their big tent and other crap. Too late to say sorry after the baby is crushed under the wheels of the car.
Diane, wining is all Trump cares about, Shallow non-thinking people have no depth. They are sheep.
"Why did you participate in all this then?" Good reporter!
Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission? How can someone be complicit for DECADES and not know what they're doing?
Oh my God. An intelligent conversation!
"It's a short walk to Jim Jones." no truer words ever spoken
Fox viewers are entitled to their opinion. It's a free country!

LOL. There is no such thing as “Alternative facts”. It’s the TRUTH or it’s a LIE ! There is not a middle !
Notice that few if any Republicans discuss the poor when many of the middle-class to which they refer are poor but labeled middle-class. Republicans erased poor people in their political discussions.
Yep the demrats in invented it....lol
Actually, there are. The “alternative facts” that are being thrown around are usually taken out of scientific studies that have different results. We have seen how this happens: sometimes it is errors that were missed that cause different outcomes; sometimes it is purposefully done for money or to cover up a negative response that is harmful to a company or an industry; sometimes it is differences in the testing process. Yet, the differing set of conclusions are presented as factual without discussing how the differences came about. The facts are also represented as a final result, and that part is the lie. Scientific study depends upon repeatable results, and only either supports a hypothesis or not. Evidence from a tested hypothesis allows a theoretical position on some aspect of our reality to be developed. Theories become accepted as valid models when they have a preponderance of evidence to support them.
So...I observe something and it makes me think I see a pattern. I decide to test it. I form a hypothesis: when people are thinking about how they physically feel, their eyes will move to look down and left. I create a study design:
I ask 100 people to answer a question.
How does your right shoulder feel right now?
A second person watches and verifies eye movement.
100 out of 100 people did move their eyes to the down left position after being asked, and before answering.
The hypothesis is supported. I propose a theory that eye movement reflects thoughts in some manner. I design more tests.
This is not my idea, but is a subject that I read about and I did conduct the test for a class in psychology in H.S.
If you’re interested:
down left: how the person is feeling. (We asked, Do you think you are getting a cold)
Up left or up center: a past memory. (We asked what main color was the outside of the first home you recall living in.)
Up right: imagination or future forecasting. (We asked what kind of house do you see yourself living in in 20 years)
side note...ask a person to tell you a lie and their eyes will also go up and right as they think one up, but that doesn’t mean any movement to the right indicates a lie. For example, ask them to pick a name for a shaggy dog and their eyes will go up and right, too, or even more likely go to center up then to right and up. It’s likely they are picturing a shaggy dog they have a memory of, then thinking of a name...imagining how it will fit the dog they pictured.
It was a really fun project to do...
"It's a short walk to Jim Jones." I couldn't agree more about this doomsday party
"A short walk to Jim Jones"!
“I don’t really have a good answer”. That honesty gave me goosebumps and is in fact a good answer.
It's because what he did is inexcusable and indefensible. And the American people have shown themselves to be cowards as we accept the unacceptable and excuse the inexcusable over and over and over again why we allow our country to commit crimes against humanity. Disgraceful
Andrew Andrew money
dino0228 you mean Greed.
@Ross Rain what to do those guys have to do with the Republican Party and its 20 Year campaign xenophobic, racist fear and hatred? It's not some conspiracy, it was a well-orchestrated effort by The Lunatic Fringe right to move themselves into the mainstream. They did it by exerting complete control over "conservative" media content and output. What does your conspiracy bullshit have to do with any of that?
@@charlesandrews2360 Funny how Democrats accuse all their foes of what their doing.
It is harsh criticism of the repulicans, but unfortunately "the shoe fits". He is very eloquent and his reflective delivery had a truthfulness and remorse that rings a bell for America.
@Colorful Meta4 True , it's not nearly enough of a rebuke of Republican misdeeds and twisted self serving government especially under crooked Donald Trump and his colleagues.
Great interview, very informative. Thank You‼️
Mail in voters... Place your thumbprint on your ballot.pervent them from claiming fraud.Validate and protect your vote.SAVE AMERICA!!!!
A relief to hear this but a shame that, in all likelihood, he can’t tell every person who bought all the lies of the Republicans his truth. Such a sad state of affairs.
It's a cult. All the defining characteristics are there. The orange one repeats the lies that they need to believe to justify their fear and hatred of the others. His followers are immersed in propaganda to the point where they are questioning reality.
He was never going to be able to deal with a real emergency. He creates disasters. He's got a long resume. Bad things happen when he shows up.
Repeat the lie.
Deny the truth.
Blame the others.
Attack and discredit the media.
Demonize the opposition.
He has not deviated from this pattern of behaviour.
This will definitely trigger Trumpsters and most of the Republicans, so if course verges few of them will actually see this. Too bad.
Trump and his followers have the characteristics of aT (thug); corrupt, lie, cover-up, unconcern about sad thing happening to others.....
I am not D.
Jessica Grace, please don't say "his truth". Truth is truth. There's only one truth, and no one owns it. It's THE truth, not "his".
@@incognitotorpedo42 his truth should have been written in quotes! Suggesting the untruth of his "truth."
“One of the principles used to be......” Exactly. They no longer have any.
This was a great interview!!
Thank you, Stuart Stevens, for admitting your mistake and speaking out against Trump and Republicans. We appreciate your courage, honesty, and integrity!
Very well conducted interview, particularly how she allows the person being questioned to actually answer! 👍🏾
Wake up USA!!!!!’🇨🇦From Canada!!
The majority are awake, I promise. ✌
This guy Stevens is bordering on dementia, one symptoms of is neglect, another is confabulation (pretending to know but is actually self-ignorance).
He attributes the push to use chloroquine to Mr Trump and says we’re not listening to the FDA and instead Trump is pushing it, but in actuality chloroquine was shown efficacy by the Chinese then the French, and what Trump says and does is based on what the Task Force is telling him.
Ignoring all this background is like an ostrich not seeing others means they’re not there. Read my comment at the beginning. This guy is demented.
Internist
I believe Canada has it's own problems with political corruption. Count your blessings and love your country despite its political clowns.
The majority of Americans do not support Trump. We know we have a lunatic at the helm. May he leave us soon.
@@elizabethcameron5763
The "majority" is in ur dream. Your majority deserve Biden, and I certainly HOPE (not really) he wins so we can see what your majority are gonna say !!!
So this guy has just confessed to what we knew, that he and many others like him are directly responsible for getting us into this mess, and they should have known better. Now, which sequence of events makes more sense:
(1) He gets lauded for his mea culpa, gets off the hook for sustained criminal negligence that got us into this mess to which he has just confessed, and he becomes sort of a hero, the "honest" guy in the Republican party, at whom we all smile.
OR
(2) He goes to jail now.
I love listening to this guy. Let's get him into more substantive conversation.
So Stuart--how about YOU, with your superior skills at getting people elected, NOW work at getting Dems or Independent candidates elected in the upcoming election!!!
Why would he?
@Valerie Price Disagree strongly. Do you think a President Al Gore would have invaded Iraq? Or done nothing to address climate change? Do you think a President Bernie Sanders would pander to corporate lobbies after receiving zero campaign contributions from corporations?
if he wants his respect back...he should
@Valerie Price Cool. Tell that to Bernie Sanders who REFUSED to take money from big corp and raised more than any other D candidate. He apparently struck a nerve as centrists Democrats rallied to defeat his campaign. However, the truth still remains: Sanders ran on the Democratic ticket. Democrats, politicians more broadly, are in fact differentiated by their actions and they need not and ARE NOT beholden to this faceless, nameless "central bank" regime you speak of. A bit more nuance in your ideology might be helpful to understand a very complex geopolitical structure.
He’s only I interested in selling his book. He has no shame
This guy sees it very clearly and very honestly. Kudos to him.
I find it refreshing that this guy is seeing reality for what it is. BUT, I find it disturbing that he helped pilot this ship of fools we know as the Republican party. He helped to create what we're living thru at this moment.
Finally a republican willing to admit the truth ! When I look for hope and comfort I watch primeministers from other countries.
