I don't expect to hear a good debate because Trump never debates, I never expect him to say anything worthwhile, he's uneducated about this country's laws or policies. He doesn't even get the history if America right. I am excited to see and hear Kamala though. If we fight, we win, so let's go win this election. We'll definintely win the debate, hands down. 🇺🇸💙🦅

john. i am so glad i subscribed to your network a few months ago. i have heard many of your interviews since the match between hillary and trump caught the attention of not just the usa , but of the world. i live in canada. and john, your walks are ones that have many many in your country and around the world, walkin' with you. thank you for the walk today john.
In Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, Scrooge asks the Ghost of Christmas Present who the two little children are who cling to his ankles underneath his thick velvet Christmas robe and he says: "The girl is Want and the boy is Ignorance. Beware them both, but most of all beware this boy!"
Unless Kamala mops the floor with Trump, I fear that the media will only focus on her shortcomings in post-debate analysis. I am not anticipating the moderators operating in a strong professional manner.
EXACTLY! Have they forgotten what her WORK history is ????? She. Is. A. Prosecuter!!!! SHE WILL WIN TOMORROW AND IN NOVEMBER AND WE WILL NOT GO BACK = your eyes are not lying nor are your ears.
In addition to ignorance, I have several former colleagues who are voting for trump simply for the tax breaks. So ignorance and greed might possibly destroy our country.
And great story of the 4yr old. It reminded me of my dear departed Mother. She taught me to count using buttons, and to spell using Beatles songs. Thanks John for my memories.
If I were to see 45 somewhere and I heard his garbled nonsense, I would signal whoever I was with and we would certainly leave for our safety. He is certainly weird. He is also very dangerous and women’s rights would go further down in the sewer. if that man and his accomplices get near the White House, gods help us. Vote blue, vote Kamala Harris and Tim Walz💙✨💙
@@joyrico5989 I have been saying this morning: I would not let that anger salesman on my front porch. I've also been asking people if they would let him babysit their children. He definitely let us see that he's sweating. And he's so obtuse he finishes up with something to the effect of I might use nukes. He is so broken and desperate. He's willing to bring half of America down with him. Personally I think that he exhibited criminal behavior and should have been apprehended after the debate.
Well spoken, Thanks I needed that boost. Of all pathetic, despicable words and deeds by Trump, one that stands out is when he stepped out and walked in front of Queen Elizabeth. I was appalled anyone would be so rude. You are dead on your description of being without heart and soul.
Take good notes for me, I can not listen to Trump spitting lies and no one challenging him - I was sick with his stories on how he was the greatest and we never had it so good, etc. Well, I see how I feel as the hour draws near - thank you John. Having been born in 1948 Germany I can not understand why people are willing to repeat this with a criminal leading them. I wonder how my parents would see this. I remember my dad saying there is no manlyness in holding a gun, to point at another young man who would rather be home and know it's you or him. My dad lost an eye and had to go back then a grenade shattered his leg at 23 he felt like dancing knowing he was done. As all Men who have seen what no one wants to ever see, dad had emotional battles he could not share in words. All for want to be emperors
Great chat tonight 👍 .. I think Harris will be very Professional and courageous at the Debate.. if she uses her Prosecutor skills Harris will trap him . Look forward to the Debate 💙 Harris and Walz💙.... Harris and Walz are a great future they are very down to Earth are relate to people..God Bless 🕊️
The worst thing a criminal can do is think they somehow have a advantage over a seasoned prosicuter, without competent legal assistance. All of Trump's lawyers are either disbarred or behind bars.
I just can’t tolerate corporate media except for sometimes Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell as long as they stay sane I will watch them I will watch the debate even though I can hardly stomach DT talking anymore I so hope KH just takes the wind out of his sails I so agree with your talk tonight Keep the energy up everyone 🗳️💙 for the soul of America all the best to you John
I understand what you mean about the media trying to explain things to us as if we’re stupid. I can’t stand it either. After a few years of an on-and-off relationship with CNN, I completely stopped watching it after what Dana Bash and Jake Tapper did to Biden. I used to have a great deal of respect for both of them at the beginning of Trump’s presidency, but not anymore. Do they even realize how their actions might impact the future of their own children, not to mention the whole country and the free world? Shame on the corporate media. They are too busy appeasing the evil forces, as you said, John! I’m looking forward to Kamala taking on Trump tomorrow! Vote Blue 💙 🌊
Thank you! I'm still in my worst battle ever as a patient advocate, for a patient with a very bizarre rare disease. It shouldn't be so difficult to get proper medical care for him. I really needed your positive reinforcement tonight. Thank you! Take great care of yourself and Holly. May your week be joyful and sweet. 💙🤗 🗽⚖️🌊🌊🌊🌊⚖️🗽
Hello, John! I should never listen to all the pundits and "journalists" as it messes with my psyche! Trying to stay positive about tomorrow night and listening to you definitely helps, so...at the risk of being redundant, many thanks and have a good night!
There is a sense that your year is on the turn, John. Not just in your weather reports but the glimpse of Virginia foliage behind you. Down under we recover from a week of devastating equinoxial storms, whereas you go into not a "winter of discontent " but a brave New World, such is the faith the world's democracies have in the United States. Sydney is 14 hours ahead of the Eastern states so we will be watching over our morning coffee and thinking of you. And we know Kamala is well prepared. "Courage is Hope that has said its prayers."
Kamala has all kinds of experience dealing with thugs like T. I’m not worried about that. What upsets me is when people engage with t and his t lies and insanities - explaining, reasoning . . . And getting nowhere. This has been going on for years now. It all happens on a certain level of consciousness, in an arena from which there is no way out and no answers or solutions. As Einstein said, you can’t solve the problem at the same level of consciousness the problem was created. You just go around in circles getting nowhere. Everyone does it. The thing to do is let it go because there is no engagement that will yield solutions and results. Of course, if you’re a politician, you have to find a way. Kamala as a professional in all this deals with it differently. It’s one of the reasons it’s so great to have her run for president. I think she’s one of the few people who knows how to work t.
Enjoying these evening walks. A breath of sanity to ease the angst of the day. Your words are both a balm to aching souls and a clarion call to fight for our Democracy. Thank you.
What a wonderful story. The curiosity and openness of a child is a wonder to behold. I’m 53 and long to return to such a state of mind. Thanks again John ❤
I'm so fortunate to come from an extended family of college professors. We all grew up with insatiable curiosity and encouraged to be so. Those who dont have no idea what their missing.💙
Thank you for the intellectual walk and talk. Always so informational. Hate the way the media refuses to expose the crazy of trump. The NY Times was doing it today per Lawrence O’Donnell normalizing that gobbledygook he yapped about child care. All we can do is our part Vote Vote get everyone we know to vote. Thanks John!
Thank you for letting us join you on your walks Mr. Flannery. I've been joining you for about a month now, and really appreciate you sharing your thoughts (which I happen to agree with)! I sometimes listen to you while I'm walking, and sometimes your environmental sounds trick me into thinking a dog is barking or a vehicle is coming my way. :) Cheers from Long Beach, CA. 🇺🇸🗽⚖✌
Thank-you for calling it like you see it! Why and when did people stop believing their own eyes and ears? We can see, and hear, directly from the horse's mouth, who he is and what he wants to do! I knew who he was, BEFORE he ran for office the first time! Without a moral compass, there is no line that one will not cross. Be well. Be safe. We must fight for the "soul of America!"
Nice chat! I bet your inclined encounter was truly encouraging! I'm glad you participated! It's nice to see parents working with their kids like that! Education is key to a healthy society. I went to all public schools and got a good education, of course that was back in the 60s.. .lol
Kamala shouldn't have to debate DJT. She is so much more worthy of holding the office of the presidency, both in character and competence. She is ethically principled, Trump is not. She meets all the requirements/demands for the job, knowledge, expertise, experience, and skills. Trump with his four years as President does not. I trust Kamala to make sound judgments that are in the best intrest and national security of this beautiful and great country of ours!
Trump counts on getting away with misconduct to slander someone else - and he’s learned on balance that it shifts the needle, diminishes his opponent over time, esp. if we have those counseling such nonsense as what he says can be ignored. One must fight to avoid standing still or, worse, losing ground. this is a big deal for Trump. Can he stop the drift toward Kamala. those are the stakes.
When I taught government in a black high school in D.C., I asked my class who was the non-voting Delegate from Puerto Rico in Congress? No one knew. I asked them to find out. (pre-internet). They moaned. They didn't want to try.They wanted me to give them the answer. So I made up a name. I gave a quiz later. They wrote that name as their answer and I gave them all an "F" because they all got it wrong. They were outraged! After all, they put down what I told them. I responded that they should not believe everything they hear. Especially when they were unwilling to try to find the truth.
Nice lesson. Well done. I remember a Jesuit telling a class of overachieving HS sophomores that memorizing wasn’t what they should get out of their studies. They had to be able to think and understand, and that was different. I can still see that Jesuit (McDonald) standing to the right before a window, and I’m sure it registered with everyone in the room. My HS swimming coach taught a class in health and personhood. I remember when he said, don’t put all your eggs in one basket and why. Of course, I had a teacher suggested an essay I wrote on the working man was too good - as if I didn’t read a host of authority to find a way to express the thought. I shared a statewide prize with another classmate for my essay. the limitations of a teacher can be a toxin to imagination and ambition and hard work.
Seems we share a similar upbringing. I am not surprised that you were a winning writer. I am impressed that you took the time to respond in such detail. Enriching. I know you are busy. Many thanks. BTW, Clarabell was played by Bob Keeshan who later became Captain Kangaroo. Fun.
There’s a very powerful affirmation that helps me to calm down whenever DJT does or says something upsetting. I believe it was given to us for such a purpose. “Deliver us from evil.” Recognize it? Consider trying it yourself, because it helps.
Watching the news she leaps up and claims that that is the man that was doing jumping jacks with Owen! Sure it was, Honey. Whatever that dog was saying upset my dog. Got a good rumble out of her. Thank you, John.
These offerings you share are really prayers, I think, to the universe and to all of Us, who want to do good and live up to our potential. All mothers are teachers, even when the lessons are pain. I love the cathedral of trees. We learn so much from the natural world. Be well.
I so enjoy our time together. It's calming for me to hear another rational person talk. What cracks me up is when you go by the place and the big dog starts barking. My little dog sits up and looks around, trying to figure out where I've put that dog and should he go get him. That part of the walk with you makes me giggle for a moment as my Skeeter then settles back down to sleep. Thank you for your time and company.
It's going to be great watching Kamala, during the debate. That's so sweet that the mother was using the opportunity to teach her child, to use that time wisely. I was in the grocery line yesterday and saw the opposite. Kids get bored and one young boy was climbing all over the grocery cart and making the mother weary. He was adorable, but she probably could have calmed him, using the method of spelling. Great idea! Making learning fun starts early. Critical thinking skills are important. During my bootcamp in the Navy, we had to learn required information. Some girls were going to be sent home during bootcamp, because they failed their test. I asked if I could help, since I loved art and loved reading. They let me have a room with a chalkboard. I went through the chapters and drew pictures as an example. We spent 3 days, because it was near graduation. The images connected with the information helped them all ace their test! I was so proud of them.
Wonderful story and example. When I hear persons say they are self made, didn’t need anyone, I dismiss them out of hand. I think it can begin with curiosity about something that catches you. It can become the organizing principle of your life. But always there is someone who nudges you, takes interest in you, teaches you what you need to go forward or just be at peace. That’s the part that teaches you should do the same for others. We are all in this life together. What are some saving it for?
I would love to hear more varied stories from the media. Incurious people have always puzzled me and I feel being spoon fed by the media perpetuates that mindset. It is also insulting to have people just tell us what we have already seen or known repeatedly. One has to go to the media of other countries to get more informative news. We need to feel connected to the rest of the world as well.We are all one and the sooner we realize it,the better off our planet will be.
Oh, dear, we are north of the Line Fire. The smoke is incredible. We’ve kept our home closed completely and keep our pool filter running because of the ash falling here. We packed everything important and are ready in case we need to move. Pray for everyone affected by this horrible fire. ❤️🙏🏻
John, I truly appreciate your videos, thank you so much. I am almost certain you watched fellow Irish-American Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC. His take down of the NYT last night was fabulous. This media sane-washing of someone who is not sane is abhorrent.
snazzy jacket! So appreciate all your explanations and moral philosophizing, always. Some people ask, "What would Jesus do?" You and I also ask, "What would Seneca say?"
If she answers any questions he addresses to her she will be giving in to his game. The only way to handle this person is to ignore what ever he says speak pass him. If she answers his questions she will be playing his game not hers. I played some Golf in my day for money and when you take your thoughts off what your doing and focus on his game you will lose.
It’s draining all of the Earths energy with his hatred of life. I’m exhausted…….. I know next year will be amazing …. Faith! 💙🌸💙 love from Oregon🤗
Love back from Wisconsin!
AGREE! Also from Oregon ...
Agree also from Oregon@@amberackerson5916
I sure hope so too from MO
Love back from Colorado❤
Trump "vomits" words out more and with more chaotic repetition than a '60's talking doll with a pull string.
Thank you John. You speak beautifully for so many of us. ❤
agree!
I can’t wait to watch the prosecutor dismantle Trump! This 65yr old Navy vet in Florida is voting blue in November!
Trump makes a mockery of everything
I don't expect to hear a good debate because Trump never debates, I never expect him to say anything worthwhile, he's uneducated about this country's laws or policies.

You can’t really believe the polls, doesn’t include first time voters, and is based on who answers their phones.

Your Integrity and wisdom is so needed ... WISE MAN WALKING
Exactly, John, how is it that Trump commands so much permission and obedience? You are correct.
I complained about the lead up to the last debate, and now they are doing it again. The media is exasperating.
That's why RUclips offers excellent alternatives like MeidasTouch.

So agree with you, John. Anything to do with Trump is such a horror show, I fear the debate may follow suit. How I hope she wipes the floor with him.
EXACTLY! Have they forgotten what her WORK history is ????? She. Is. A. Prosecuter!!!! SHE WILL WIN TOMORROW AND IN NOVEMBER AND WE WILL NOT GO BACK = your eyes are not lying nor are your ears.
In addition to ignorance, I have several former colleagues who are voting for trump simply for the tax breaks. So ignorance and greed might possibly destroy our country.
My husband and I took our daily stroll around the neighborhood and shook our heads over the number of trump-vance signs. 😢
Whatever you "point out" regarding tomorrow night's debate will be worthwhile. I will be sure to tune in.
❤ Nice John... Classic Common Sense 😊... With a Historical Context... Thanks Again!...
And great story of the 4yr old. It reminded me of my dear departed Mother. She taught me to count using buttons, and to spell using Beatles songs. Thanks John for my memories.

Your comment on ignorance and freedom is spot on.
The worst thing a criminal can do is think they somehow have a advantage over a seasoned prosicuter, without competent legal assistance. All of Trump's lawyers are either disbarred or behind bars.
Or standing behind him during a televised rant with a look of total disbelief on their faces….
Sorry my spell check let me mispell prosecutor.

These offerings you share are really prayers, I think, to the universe and to all of Us, who want to do good and live up to our potential. All mothers are teachers, even when the lessons are pain. I love the cathedral of trees. We learn so much from the natural world. Be well.
Ending with optimism😊!!
You always make sense. Enjoyed today’s walk and talk and will look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
I so enjoy our time together. It's calming for me to hear another rational person talk. What cracks me up is when you go by the place and the big dog starts barking. My little dog sits up and looks around, trying to figure out where I've put that dog and should he go get him. That part of the walk with you makes me giggle for a moment as my Skeeter then settles back down to sleep. Thank you for your time and company.
She is so high above him that she will Treat him like she holds the gavel.
It's going to be great watching Kamala, during the debate.
That's so sweet that the mother was using the opportunity to teach her child, to use that time wisely.
I was in the grocery line yesterday and saw the opposite. Kids get bored and one young boy was climbing all over the grocery cart and making the mother weary. He was adorable, but she probably could have calmed him, using the method of spelling. Great idea!
Making learning fun starts early.
Critical thinking skills are important.
During my bootcamp in the Navy, we had to learn required information.
Some girls were going to be sent home during bootcamp, because they failed their test. I asked if I could help, since I loved art and loved reading. They let me have a room with a chalkboard. I went through the chapters and drew pictures as an example. We spent 3 days, because it was near graduation.
The images connected with the information helped them all ace their test! I was so proud of them.
Wonderful story and example. When I hear persons say they are self made, didn’t need anyone, I dismiss them out of hand. I think it can begin with curiosity about something that catches you. It can become the organizing principle of your life. But always there is someone who nudges you, takes interest in you, teaches you what you need to go forward or just be at peace. That’s the part that teaches you should do the same for others. We are all in this life together. What are some saving it for?
👍
I would love to hear more varied stories from the media. Incurious people have always puzzled me and I feel being spoon fed by the media perpetuates that mindset. It is also insulting to have people just tell us what we have already seen or known repeatedly. One has to go to the media of other countries to get more informative news. We need to feel connected to the rest of the world as well.We are all one and the sooner we realize it,the better off our planet will be.
Enjoying your content from Montreal 🇨🇦
Oh, dear, we are north of the Line Fire. The smoke is incredible. We’ve kept our home closed completely and keep our pool filter running because of the ash falling here. We packed everything important and are ready in case we need to move. Pray for everyone affected by this horrible fire. ❤️🙏🏻
John, I truly appreciate your videos, thank you so much. I am almost certain you watched fellow Irish-American Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC. His take down of the NYT last night was fabulous. This media sane-washing of someone who is not sane is abhorrent.
❤🙏🏼
Thanks as always. I'm looking forward to your post debate comments.
snazzy jacket!
So appreciate all your explanations and moral philosophizing, always.
Some people ask, "What would Jesus do?"
You and I also ask, "What would Seneca say?"
If she answers any questions he addresses to her she will be giving in to his game. The only way to handle this person is to ignore what ever he says speak pass him. If she answers his questions she will be playing his game not hers. I played some Golf in my day for money and when you take your thoughts off what your doing and focus on his game you will lose.
I’ve read that the combatants will not be able to ask questions of each other. We’ll see how they enforce that.
Pinocchio is perfect!
"I love the uneducated." When he tells the truth, it is no less despicable than his constant lying, & deceit.
Still bewildered....why is this still competitive ?
I enjoy your common sense approach ....
