As a Scottish grandmother and daughter of a D Day veteran I would like to acknowledge and thank Canada for your great sacrifice and steadfast support during that campaign and the long years of courage in the years prior to the final push to liberation.
What language appears on RUclips clips recently? Is this Japanese? Are they taking over the RUclips? Or is RUclips expanding into the Japanese market ? Could someone address this, please!
Ah, Barbara Frum! What would she make of the world's new political landscape? She had an absolutely brilliant mind and got the answers she wanted with ease.
It’s a minor irritant that those of us who reside in Washington must endure the designation “state” (sometimes capitalized as if it were a proper name) to avoid confusion with the city we call “D.C”. That nitpick aside, the inspiration of this message is to commend the excellent shout out to Canada’s contribution to D-Day. My English/Scottish forbearers came to the US through Canada. I have great affinity for our sane neighbors up north and visit Vancouver on a regular basis. That the important Canadian contribution to the war is often overlooked is regretful. Well done giving credit where credit is due.
I am Canadian by choice from roots in French soil. I grew up during WW2 and saw first hand the Canadian sacrifice over my village. The sight of dismembered, burned bodies of three Canadians aviators has stayed in my brain ever since. Je me souviens.
Canada gave me the opportunity to overcome my visceral fear of everything German my closest friend is from Bavaria and we shared our family history of the previous two generations emmigrating to Canada was escaping the cycle.
Mr. Frum’s analysis concerning the recent election in Mexico was particularly astute as it looks beyond the superficial gender and ethnic concerns - issues, by the way, that were emphasized in the legacy media - and places it in its proper context with the current leader of Mexico. A tip of the cap to the Hub and Mr. Frum for producing this consistently distinctive and excellent public affairs program.
Finally, some one in the US is talking about Mexican voters amazing accomplishment of electing their first female President! Congratulations and a big Bravo to Claudia! Mexico is moving their democracy forward while Trump snd his MAGA delusions are moving America backwards.
Uh oh. That's not what David sees happening. More murder, violence, environmental degradation and pushback against green energy technology, all orchestrated by AMLO pulling the strings of a weak successor.
I am spending far too much of my time worrying about American politics and the rise of the cult of trump. It is a comfort to hear David Frum's analysis. Thank you for this. Subscribed.
Gracias David por tus opiniones centradas tanto de los Estados Unidos como de Mexico. Hace mucho tiempo que no te veia y escuchaba, y me es grato verificar que coincidimos en tus puntos de vista.
Thank you for this most relevant and moving discussion of D-day. My father’s dearest brother lost his life in the Normandy invasion. No one in our family ever forgot his sacrifice. His whole surviving family (mother, father, four brothers and five sisters) sacrificed through their loss as did so many other families. I am grateful that President Biden represented our country on this 80th anniversary of D-Day and that he honored the sacrifice of the living and the dead to preserve democracy.
David Frum's comments about Claudia are racially and sexually biased and surprising. He probably would've opined similarly about iconic Speaker Emerita Pelosi, Leticia James, Hillary Clinton, snd other great women leaders. Mexico's female leaders are also doing a great job. Claudia's election will bring many surprises hopefully solving many problems including drug cartels and immigration. Best of luck to Claudia.
The way David Frum talks about statistical facts being eliminated from Mexico and says that criminal behavior is being tolerated in Mexico is no different than what most Red State Governor have done. Many of those states have elected congressional representatives who I feel are borderline criminal. We used to live in Florida and have found Mexico to be a great place to live. It seemed to us during the campaign for elections here recently the people of the Middle Class were overwhelming wanting the candidates to care about them and social services.
What an enlightening talk! Thank you so much for doing it regularly and enthusiastically. I'm going to the local library to read David's article in the Atlantic. My walk will be rewarded generously.
would like to hear conversation with Sean Speer & David Frum about the continued value of NATO for Canadian productivity moving forward ...?As a canadian investor, China and russia + other Brics nations are looking like a good pivot for our security and economy.
On the election, the effects of Trump's legal cases may boil down to the effects of a narrow group of voters in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and possibly just a narrow group of voters in Pennsylvania. Other states may simply be already locked in on party lines.
Someday, someone will write a book entitled "Who Destroyed the Rule of Law in America?" Willis, Bragg, Merchan, Smith, Garland and a host of other Democrats will be prominently featured in that book.
David Frum didn't come across very well in this video, in my opinion. I've generally been appreciating his viewpoint, but in this interview, he comes across as extremely dark, uncaring, and cynical, IMO. Wish you had been able to bring out his more optimistic and sunny side, to the extent that he has one.
After listing to this video, I don't hear a balanced discussion. It seems to me that David Frum may be suffering from a mild case of TDS. I hope that with a new Trump presidency, It will help to cure this possible affliction.
Oh well, it's his own personal beliefs and POV, although not necessarily a correct path that he's leaning upon and doesn't hold up upon closer scrutiny and current polling trends... of course, a day in politics is a lifetime in which news cycle can spin a sizable shift in polling trending... yep, it's a close political presidential 2024 race... therefore that in itself is understandably revealing the Biden administration policies weakness with electorate. So, my best to David Frum. Mordechai ⚾️
Does Alito have a favorite insurrectionist? The capitol police who suffered crushed spinal disc, brain hemorrhaging, amputated fingers and broken ribs know who D Trump and Alito are.
Bud...the video of the event says otherwise. There's a reason most of it will never be seen by the people...because then the insurrectionist narrative would suffer a fatal blow. Same reason the Democrats did not want to televise Trump's trial in N.Y., they didn't want the people to see the sham that it was. You think about it, the Dems take every opportunity possible to humiliate Donald Trump, and a televised trial would have been the ultimate humiliation. There was only one problem though...no crime had actually been committed. They didn't want the people to see that. Of course, if you suffer from TDS, your opinion wouldn't change anyway. Btw, if elected, Trump is gonna sign an executive order mandating a vaccine. You love your vaccines...right? Well this one will be for TDS, and then you can join normal society and have relationships with normal people again.
What a disappointing interview/am Mexican first/Canadian/ how can mr Frum say that lic Lopez Obrador is a macho, since day ONE he name a woman as hes sec of government/Olga Sanches, must to mention one. I RESENT YOUR COMMENT AS A MEXICAN, HOW DARE YOU
AMLO is a paleo PRIsta, the second coming of Luis Echeverría Álvarez. Applauds would be dictator Benito Juárez, promoter of the Anglo "Black Legend" against Hispanisism. He eliminated the images of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez from the currency. Closed day care for moms who work outside their home.
AMLO? Paleo PRIsta in every sense, like Echeverría or López Portillo, anti-Hispanic atavist, pro-fossil fuel, crony capitalist, militarized development projects. I hope Frum is wrong about Sheinbaum, she needs to kick AMLO back to his "casa chica" from the 1970's..
Oh David, David, David…you’re soo ignorant in reference to México…just because you like Mexican food, that doesn’t make you an expert on México’s political scene.😝
I’m an American who follows our politics pretty closely. Bragg was somewhat reluctant to bring this case having turned it down once. The lawfare against Trump is very obvious to most Americans, for and against Trump. Most Americans have a pretty high sense of fairness and don’t like what’s going on. Further, both the civil cases he lost and the criminal one are ripe for being overturned due to very faulty legal logic and/or extreme prejudice clearly demonstrated by the judges evidenced by their actions during the trials. Biden is such a poor President both from a health and policy perspective. Trump should have little trouble beating him however more and more people are aware of possible dirty tricks that Democrats may still try to stop Trump. Recently the Hunter Biden trial has revealed how the FBI/DOJ knew his laptop was valid back in October 2019, 1 year before the 2020 election. Yet 51 former intelligence officials signed a letter saying it wasn’t. This was at the behest of Anthony Blinken, current Secretary of State. The American government is very corrupt and more and more Americans are figuring that out. More and more are looking to Trump to stop it.
Hard disagree. Regardoig the reluctance to prosecute Trump: he intimidates & bribes & delays to avoid prosecution. Biden has done well in challenging times & has delegated to good people.
The problem with your analysis is it lacks facts and common sense. Yes Bragg was somewhat reluctant to bring forth the case because he said it is ongoing and they were still gathering evidence. Once he became familiar with all the evidence is was a no brainer. Trump committed crimes in NY State. A Grand Jury agreed. The prosecutors presented the evidence in court and the jury convicted him. Based on the evidence there is little chance of the conviction being overturned. Most honest legal experts have said the judge was more than fair to Trump. Trump committed a crime and he’s guilty. Trump has been corrupt for decades so finally justice is catching up to him. As far as Biden is concerned there has been no evidence there is anything wrong with his health considering his age. As far as his policies go the majority of Americans like his legislative achievements. The problem is too many blame Biden for the inflation when the facts are that most of the causes of the inflation go back to Trump. To Trump’s tax cuts, budget deficits, his pressure on the FED to keep interest rates low and his disastrous handling of the pandemic. There’s your cause for the current inflation. Then add in Putin’s war. If Americans elect Trump it will be a disaster for them and all democratic countries.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. TRUMP IS A LIFELONG CRIMINAL THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PRISON DECADES AGO. FOR SURE BY SUNDOWN ON J6. HE HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH SO MUCH SHADY CRAP N THE RULE OF LAW IS FINALLY STOPPING HIM . HE IS A GLOBAL EMBARRASSMENT . HORRIBLE FOR THE COUNTRY ON SO MANY LEVELS. I KNOW MANY REPUBLICANS THAT ARE VOTING FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN N CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY NEVER HEAR TRUMPS NAME AGAIN.

David's mother, Barbara was wonderful miss her work daily.
Wonder if all the thumbs up are from David! :) seriously David's mother was AWESOME a word I RARELY use

"Sane". My word, by this point, I'd thought as least some of the gloss had worn off for Canada by now.
I am Canadian by choice from roots in French soil. I grew up during WW2 and saw first hand the Canadian sacrifice over my village. The sight of dismembered, burned bodies of three Canadians aviators has stayed in my brain ever since. Je me souviens.
That means you must be about my age.
I lived through WW2 in Germany.
No joy for me.
Canada gave me the opportunity to overcome my visceral fear of everything German my closest friend is from Bavaria and we shared our family history of the previous two generations emmigrating to Canada was escaping the cycle.
Thank you both.
I learned more about current events in Mexico in this 20 minutes than over the last year everywhere else
Great
Don't get your news about Mexico from Frum. He is wrong about almost everything.
Mr. Frum’s analysis concerning the recent election in Mexico was particularly astute as it looks beyond the superficial gender and ethnic concerns - issues, by the way, that were emphasized in the legacy media - and places it in its proper context with the current leader of Mexico.

Only 37 candidates assassinated! At least they elected a woman!
Great podcast!😁
First time listener. Excellent guest and conversation. I have subscribed and will look for The Hub in my feed with anticipation!
Great discussion
But the problem is that it is not a fair trial by most standard.
Brilliant
I am spending far too much of my time worrying about American politics and the rise of the cult of trump. It is a comfort to hear David Frum's analysis. Thank you for this. Subscribed.
Get a hobby. Go outside
Love hearing from David Frum.
Gracias David por tus opiniones centradas tanto de los Estados Unidos como de Mexico. Hace mucho tiempo que no te veia y escuchaba, y me es grato verificar que coincidimos en tus puntos de vista.
David is one of the very best information people of today. I never fail to learn from him.
Ummm...what's with the jump-cut edits at 15:42 and 21:35 ?
I always love watching the Hub. David Frum explains everything so clearly.
Thank you for this most relevant and moving discussion of D-day. My father’s dearest brother lost his life in the Normandy invasion. No one in our family ever forgot his sacrifice.

@cmt635 only a record number of political candidates assassinated this election. 37.
What an enlightening talk! Thank you so much for doing it regularly and enthusiastically. I'm going to the local library to read David's article in the Atlantic. My walk will be rewarded generously.
Thanks, always great to hear from David, carrying on his mother legacy as a top rate journalist.
would like to hear conversation with Sean Speer & David Frum about the continued value of NATO for Canadian productivity moving forward ...?As a canadian investor, China and russia + other Brics nations are looking like a good pivot for our security and economy.
Hahahahaha
The "haters have to hate" and the Trump Maga's are perfect subjects.
Why is Trump not being charged with Sedition?
On the election, the effects of Trump's legal cases may boil down to the effects of a narrow group of voters in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and possibly just a narrow group of voters in Pennsylvania. Other states may simply be already locked in on party lines.

Nixon asked Justice if he could pardon himself. They told him no.
This Supreme Court doesn’t seem particularly concerned with precedent
There were some French troops on D-Day
Stopping the Panzers buy it Canada.
David Frum didn't come across very well in this video, in my opinion. I've generally been appreciating his viewpoint, but in this interview, he comes across as extremely dark, uncaring, and cynical, IMO.
Wish you had been able to bring out his more optimistic and sunny side, to the extent that he has one.
The only remedy is to vote Blue at every level, even dog catcher! We must not let the MAGA GOP take over our country.
💙🩵💙
ABSOLUTELY
After listing to this video, I don't hear a balanced discussion. It seems to me that David Frum may be suffering from a mild case of TDS. I hope that with a new Trump presidency, It will help to cure this possible affliction.
😂 wow...SMH
Usual suspects
Frum is Smart and usually correct
Oh well, it's his own personal beliefs and POV, although not necessarily a correct path that he's leaning upon and doesn't hold up upon closer scrutiny and current polling trends... of course, a day in politics is a lifetime in which news cycle can spin a sizable shift in polling trending... yep, it's a close political presidential 2024 race... therefore that in itself is understandably revealing the Biden administration policies weakness with electorate.
So, my best to David Frum.

I knew he couldn’t be honest about it.
Does Alito have a favorite insurrectionist? The capitol police who suffered crushed spinal disc, brain hemorrhaging, amputated fingers and broken ribs know who D Trump and Alito are.
Bud...the video of the event says otherwise. There's a reason most of it will never be seen by the people...because then the insurrectionist narrative would suffer a fatal blow.

Frum hasn’t lived in Canada for years. What right has he got to act like an expert ?
David is the real sage of the political world
He's flat out wrong about Mexico. Among all of the other errors, just look up CO2 per capita Mexico vs Canada 3.56 vs 15.22 tCO2/cap/year in 2022.
What a disappointing interview/am Mexican first/Canadian/ how can mr Frum say that lic Lopez Obrador is a macho, since day ONE he name a woman as hes sec of government/Olga Sanches, must to mention one. I RESENT YOUR COMMENT AS A MEXICAN, HOW DARE YOU

Frum is just trying to get rich by saying something outrageous. Ignore him and he'll go away.
No lo veas, simple.
David , the Canadian, should help to make Canada great again instead of helping Americans.
They can keep him! Good riddance.
I agree! Please take him back.
Frum is such a slick smooth talking dark Machiavellian character who shouldn't be trusted whatsoever
Why not pick out and dispute one of the points he makes? Absent some rationale, why should anyone trust *you* whatsoever?
And another Trumper puts in his two cent opinion.
@@barrymutlowYou can't infer that I'm one of your "Trumpers" from what I wrote
Why do you have to be such a presumptuous asinine dullard?
Oh David, David, David…you’re soo ignorant in reference to México…just because you like Mexican food, that doesn’t make you an expert on México’s political scene.😝
"They refused Jesus too" "yeah but you're not him" Bob Dylan
Knowing WERE the Canadians was true for the enemy in WW1
Not sure it was so true by WW2
Knowing WERE Patton was
Was way more significant to the NAZIs
His comment on the weak political head in Mexico brings both Biden and Trump weakness into their collective puppetry. Well played.
Frum provides insights that few others can provide. Succinct
A liar, cheater, thief, draft dodger, and convicted felon should never have a chance to expand on his misdeeds.
To be clear, Biden dodged the draft as well. Not sure why so many people seem unaware of this, or at least don't care.
Fiscal conservative. Vote was counted fairly … what do you want more from the guy who was trying to govern a corrupt state ???
David is an absolute loon,period
Give examples or we will assume you’re simply a nut job. Likely true.
How?
You obviously don't know him or his work.
This guy should be deported.

The Hunter Biden travesty is a prime exsmple of GOP dirty tricks with Barr's assistance & Biden did not move to interfere - it will play out in Court
The problem with your analysis is it lacks facts and common sense. Yes Bragg was somewhat reluctant to bring forth the case because he said it is ongoing and they were still gathering evidence.

I'm sure you prefer a convicted felon over President Biden so I won't say any more.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. TRUMP IS A LIFELONG CRIMINAL THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PRISON DECADES AGO. FOR SURE BY SUNDOWN ON J6. HE HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH SO MUCH SHADY CRAP N THE RULE OF LAW IS FINALLY STOPPING HIM .
HE IS A GLOBAL EMBARRASSMENT . HORRIBLE FOR THE COUNTRY ON SO MANY LEVELS.
I KNOW MANY REPUBLICANS THAT ARE VOTING FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN N CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY NEVER HEAR TRUMPS NAME AGAIN.
