I’ve got to say, your shows are always spectacular. You bring on the perfect guests for interviews and truly have conversations that inspire free thought. You’ve got nowhere to go but up. If you’re up to it, I would love to see another segment about FTC, price gouging, and how Harris views she expressed over the weekend formulate into it all. Much love man!
Vote! And rest easy knowing that the party is in the hands of responsible adults. Thank you for your fight for women's rights many years ago!, We do not forget and we WILL NOT STOP until we have our rights back for good!! 🗳️♀️🇺🇲♀️🗳️
As a German, if the American people dismisses the rethoric of DonOLD Schitler they are in for a rude awakening. They can't say they did NaZi that coming.
I think the only people dismissing it as talk are people who want to vote for him anyway, but still want to maintain the facade that they would never support a real authoritarian who hates the constitution and most of the American people. My brother, sadly, is one of them, despite having a Jewish wife and children, a mother, and two sisters (women whose rights he clearly doesn't respect), as well as a niece who is bisexual- all of whom he sincerely claims to love. There's no explanation.
The flip side is that Democrats are making life too easy for street thugs in the name of a "racial reckoning." The massive crime wave in 2020 was enabled by woke culture. Both they and MAGAts support criminals of different stripes but claim theirs are the righteous ones.
Hahaha...how cute thinking that corporate media isn't completely in bed with dump. (I agree with you, forgive my snark, but corporate media is not going to supply any rational information that isn't stained with propaganda).
The problem with Orban is that he's faced no real consequences. As an EU citizen, I believe the EU has a responsibility to protect the integrity of our union by taking action against leaders like him. Orban's behavior keeps escalating-he blocked Sweden's NATO membership until they gave him fighter jets, and now he's planning to allow Russians and Belarusians into Hungary, and by extension the entire Schengen area, with just a national ID, no passport required. This is a serious security risk, and Hungary needs to be expelled from both NATO and the EU immediately. On top of that, Orban even met with Trump while Biden was president, which is not only inappropriate but illegal in the U.S., and it's a disgrace for the EU. This behavior can't go unchecked. Either Orban leaves, or the entire Hungarian nation does. We need to protect our democracy on both sides of the Atlantic, this is a common fight.
Thank you for making this so clear to understand and see what is happening in the EU. We of course have our noses in our own backyard, but need to see the whole world view.
No. It is happening as we speak. The Supreme court is actually dismantling the Constitution. The justice system is pardoning the former president for espionage, endangering our national security, and instigating a coup. The majority in Congress is actually guilty of treason per our Constitution. It's not a possibility or even probability. It is reality and we are standing on the breaks praying we can stop what the right has put in motion.
Nothing. It’s too late. Our last chance to stop this was two weeks ago when the Democrats just went along and certified the Electoral College vote despite _real reason_ to challenge _all_ of Drumpf’s Electors on the grounds that Drump himself, by _his own assertion_ is Constitutionally _ineligible_ to be elected President this time, therefore any Electoral Votes cast for him could’ve been declared null and void. The last chance before that was the Electoral College vote itself. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court had already overturned the express will of the Framers of the Constitution in allowing States to overturn the will of Electors. If an Elector votes how they want instead of for the ticket that their Party told them to vote (Parties aren’t even _indirectly alluded to_ anywhere in the Constitution), many States can simply discount their votes and replace them, as well as send them to prison. The whole _point_ of the Electoral College was for the Electors to be _independent_ and vote their _own_ will. Our whole system of “Primaries” and “Caucuses” and such to elect “Delegates” to “Party Conventions” to vote for a “Nominee,” and the “Nominee” picks a Vice Presidential “Running Mate,² and together they form a Party “Ticket” that that Party’s Electors are _pre-pledged_ to vote for? _None_ of what I just put in “quotes” is anywhere in the Constitution. The last chance that we regular citizens had was November 5. Too many of the voters chose poorly.
American people will have to suffer the consequences. You voted him in and believed his rhetoric. It's grim and sadly you will be very poor, have massive inequality whilst Trump, Musk, will be laughing at you as their wealth increases significantly. Rich will be madly richer and the poor poorer. You will have nothing and no rights. Your doomed. You keep what you sew.
But doesn’t go back to the evils on which the nation was founded. Evil didn’t suddenly appear in the American psyche with this particular descendent of the Nazis
And the south has not recovered, and will not for some time. The education in the south is sadly lacking. It brings out the stupid in it's people. I live in the south and have for 70 years.
I agree. All Americans, especially the young, should be made graphically aware of the evil threat the Marxist controlled Democrat Party poses. They have infused the concept of globalism into every facet of American culture. Admittedly, it will take an extraordinary effort to identify and permanently remove the causes and repair the damage done. But, it is well within our capability. Donald Trump is just the beginning.
I'm going to send this to family and friends to watch. Idk if they will, but I have to try. Trump supporters who will lose so much if Trump gets back into office. Can't skim over what 2025 actually means.!!!
When she compares Trumps intentions to what Orban did in Hungary is not new. That's what maybe America doesn't see but the whole Western world sees. Also in Germany, Hitler started with winning the 'uneducated' and we all know what happened next. It's a crazy world.
Trump has already debunked this theory. You guys and gals have a serious case of Trump derangement syndrome., SMH. 4 years of prosperity is all you will get from trump, just like his first 4 years. Get a grip people.
Thank you for speaking up about your country’s current political culture. From your perspective: 1. Why does anyone vote for a known aspiring dictator? We see the same 2 U.S. presidential candidates, but many Americans are willing to vote for a mean, lying, unethical lawbreaker. I’m lost about this. 2. Don’t we all want educated, intelligent, ethical, alliance-builders with a passion for public service? 3. Why are people willing to destroy the institutions that took 200 years of development? 4. Do you think the guest of this show has the right knowledge about this? I have hope for you and your country. May your life still bring you joy and meaning. I welcome your ideas if you would like to offer any on this topic. ☮️
@@jaykay1053 Thank you for your kind words and sympathy! Yes, this guest is very knowledgeable and authentic. I have the answers to all your questions but too scared to speak up publicly. :( I'll keep following, and wholeheartedly supporting your fight for democracy!
I love Dr Heather Cox Richardson, I read her letters every morning. I have learned so much over the last few years because of her. Thank you Brian for working with her.
@AnaterZ Is it shit policy to restore women's reproductive lives, allowing the middle class to own homes, lowering the price of prescription drugs, having the child tax credit set, and more for families with newborns. The Dems have been hard at work since day 1 and the Biden/Harris team has accomplished so much. Infrastructure, caping the price of prescription drugs..etc. All your guy did was give the top 1% their tax credits....he cannot even stay on topic. He's such a cry baby and is triggered by everything. He's a very unserious and unstable man. I've read a couple if articles on Trump's economic policies and Harris is correct....what he wants will create everything we purchase to go up. We can debate all day, but in the end...as Elizabeth Warren so eloquently stated, "Shoot, I wouldn't trust those guys to move my couch".
My favorites two commentators. Both so smart, so respectful of each other, and so good at what they do. Kudos especially to Brian, who asked very intelligent questions and then got out of the way. I am constantly annoyed by interviewers who ask a question and then can't help themselves from interrupting the interviewee.
Don't fear of "threats". The real dangers are here already. With open border, terrorists are abound in the US, towns are overtaken my illegal immigrants, failing economy, high inflation, etc. People can't afford housing or to get foods for their kids are real threat!. Parents have no rights over their children's welfare is real threat! Tragic! World war 3 looming is real threat. More bloodshed! May God help this country
She is so right. They took what Orban did and used it as their playbook. Everyone should read everything Orban did and see what is happening in Hungary now. People are in shock over there because their rights are almost all gone.
I fear that too many Americans don't care they just seem to follow the one that lets them be the horrible selves they want to be! We should have learned from Germany & Hitler,Stalin or Musili! Much else what the US had in the south in our own country before 1860! People need to wake up and stand with our democracy,our Constitution and move forward not backwards! Republicans at ALL levels are wanting to rule and not governing!!! They are telling you out loud ALL of this and we need to act accordingly! No Republicans at any level for at least the next 30 years! They are showing you WHO they are - believe them!!!!!!!!! 💙
I remember the Hungarian revolt. (I am that old now) I remember I wanted to runaway and find a way to get to Hungary and help the teenagers there trying to defeat the Soviet tanks. I was hoping Eisenhower would change his mind about defending Hungary. But the revolt was then totally crushed. And here you are a Hungarian concerned about we here in the United States. Love of Freedom and Justice, like those who love, is a human passion that sees through much, no matter how many battles,,,,! Bless you, and God help us achieve more perfect Freedom and Justice ....everywhere.
Relax about that one. Trump is mainly using HITLER"S playbook. Although I am German, this burden of shame rests on the MAGA voters , aka the Republican Party of America, who is enabling the Trump monster and supporting him.
interesting. In Canada, our supreme court ruled that the Prime Minister and cabinet do not have any immunity from prosecution, even in the conducting of their day to day duties.
I would like to be a citizen of country where everyone is equal in front of low. I am Croatian a 3-rd, turn of the same party it's not anymore democracy 😭, what is going to happen in America is going to be copied in other part of the world
does anyone remember Stephen Harper's viscious attempt to undermine Canada's Supreme Court? He's still a major influence. Ontario's courts are being packed with ConBots. We would do well to wake up to the facts.
@@Wyonative08 SERIOUSLY! Unfortunately some Americans, despite knowing NOTHING about anything outside their own country, expect everyone else to blindly follow them. Sorry, but the last few years of turmoil, and abuse of the system, by the trump republicans, has made me so relieved to live where I do. I would respectfully suggest that you get your political system under control, ie: VOTE BLUE, before you expect the rest of the world to blindly follow your lead.. Apologies to all Americans who are concerned with the future, but it lies in your vote.
Agreed. Dear American friends, please remember Sinclair Lewis` warning "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross."
In Hungary Orban controls EVERYTHING from the three branches of government, though the private business sector down to arts and culture. It's a new fascism. Add institutionalized corruption which made Orban the richest person in the country through several front men.
OMG!! I am watching this again 5 days after the election! Brian, can you pls invite Heather Cox Richardson again and discuss this shocking turn of events and the “What Now” please? I believe that would be very valuable to all of your listeners!
Professor Heather Cox Richardson should be one of the speakers at the DNC! So articulate, to patriotic, so historically sound with a resounding message for the future of American Democracy! WOW.
she is indeed really terrific - agree.. …*and* she’s a good ‘straight man’ setting Brian up to promo his book - that was actually really cute / sweet, if I may make that observation out loud 😊 seanM
@@pat4455Every day she sends out a Letter to Americans. Her letters always include sources and citations. She is an academic, you think she is stupid enough to not cite and source all of her work? Dig deeper. She may break through with you.
I never knew the Left to be so.... moral. I mean, if it were, why then do they demand the murder of children for the one-night flings of their mother and father? Truly horrible behavior. Have adulterous sex and murder the baby after. What high ground are you coming from again?
Since he doesn't know beans about anything like governing or democracy, he just listens to what will make him rich and famous. No future for us in that kind of leader.
Exactly everytime he gets away with a crime and a lie he is fueled in his fever. But now that he packed the Supreme Court he gas the immunity if a Dictator 😢
Eight years ago, everyone accused Democrats of not taking Trump seriously, but taking him literally, while Republicans took him seriously, but not literally. Sadly, eight years later we better all take him both seriously and literally. Thank you for this terrific interview. It should strike terror in everyone, and get them to get out and vote for Harris
A woman who is applying for the most important job in the world is intimidated by going to a charity fundraiser? How is this clown going to handle world leaders ? Hmm?
@@geologyjoerocks And the right shouldn't complain, it's their SCOTUS who gave the power to him. Unfortunately the left can't go on that path and keep their political integrity.
Every vote counts for Kamala Harris to prevent Project 2025. And prevent Trump to become a dictator, which we true Americans do not want him for President at All, he's an evil person and only wants to take his power over all our country and we cannot let that happen!!! 💯🗨💙🗨💙💯
Wow. This lady has it all together. Every person in this country should see this. She is so insightful and articulate. Thank you Brian, you hit the jackpot with this guest.
Brian, Hundreds of thousands of Americans of all ethnicities have died for our freedom. Their death should not be in vain, we will not dishonor them. We will not go back!
Thank you Brian & Heather for the common sense approach. I’m a 58 yr old, who has voted republican most of my life, but I do not recognize my party any longer. Trump is a clear & present danger to this country. Keep educating voters! 💙💙💙 ps I bought Heather’s book!
Frightening! I am 84 years old and grew up in occupied by the Nazis in Denmark and I KNOW that the impossible nightmare Heather lays out here is very real. I have sensed all this but have not been able to pull it out together without her presentation. Thank you. I am going to contact her to get suggestion how I can be most effective in stopping this selfish evil destructive machine. It so sick! Give me strength to use the rest of my life to make a difference. I am a woman, had a Trump like father that abandoned me at age 3. When at 18 I came to live with him and his horrible ways in the USA and decided very fast to make my own way in life. I have been given every opportunity this country offered and would like to give back and help turn this war machine around.
I am proud of your honesty and common sense;please do not give up on your republican friends and keep trying g to put sense and truth in them! Thank you.
For people who say that we had Trump as President for 4 years and we all survived - actually we did NOT all survive. More than a million of us died of COVID.
We had a the equivalent, per capita, of deaths here in the UK. I presume we should also blame those deaths on Trump. If I were you my conscience would be reeling over the Ukrainian body count in America’s proxy war with Russia.
And he stacked the supreme court to chip away at our democracy and removed any consequences for illegal acts as president making him king and ultimately dictator All very strategic.
Thank you so much!!! People need to be reminded about trump's blatent disregard of the danger of covid...so many died on his watch..he didn't care. We need to remind people of this. In my mind he killed people and nobody will ever make me forget or brush over that. It was criminal!!!
I was adopted by my grandparents when they were in their mid-50s, and there are three lessons they taught me that stuck the most because I feel those are lessons they actually had to learn themselves. I was told stories about Nixon and what happened with Al Gore... The lessons they taught me: 1) Too much of anything is a bad thing. Moderation and balance is key. 2) Just because many people are saying something, doesn't make it true. And most importantly to the whole country: 3) IT CAN ALWAYS HAPPEN TO YOU.
I'd like to thank maga for teaching me how Hitler came to power and the people of Germany followed him blindly and happy. You can read about it but it's a lot different seeing it for yourself
@@67psychout I was in 3rd grade and watched real reel to reels of what happened(this was in the 60s )I had nightmares for months. These people that are laughing about this will be the first ones crying if this sxxx really happens
This historian , Mrs. Heather Cox is a great historian and visionary of what would happen if Trump and Vance were to take over. Autocracy is poison for a country that will be dying from it!💙💙💙💙💙✝️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We are excited here in the United States, too!!!! Finally, something positive happening! We are NOT going back. I can't wait to vote for Harris/Walz! 💙
I grew up in East-Germany. Lived there for 23 years before the wall came down. Now I live in a democracy for almost 35 years and see all of it in danger. Like in the USA today. I fully agree with mrs. Cox. All her comments and explanations reflect my experience living in a faschist system. The really bad news from me for you educated, liberal Americans out there is that you have certainly 40 % of your population who are totally fine to live in an authoritarian system. Because of the concept of abdication . abdication of responsibility. This is the real poison that will destroy your society. And unfortunately over the times you’ll have additional 20-30 % who will adapt to such society. Therefore Prof Cox predicted that the return of democracy won’t happen in her lifetime. I’d say 100 years of darkness before the light. Americans cannot imagine how fast a society can broke. You’ve read about, you watched movies about. But experience it on your own it’s a complete different story. May god bless the American voters on 5th of November. If you guys screw it up over there our lights in Europe will turn off too…
@stefanblutke8053 thank you for taking the trouble to share your experience, as a warning to Americans. And yes, if the worst happens, it could easily take 100 years for democracy to return, if ever.
Stefan, I am from ex-CSSR, born and educated, left the country '69. I think you are painting the future a little bit too dark and gloomy, remember the saying of selfullfilling prophecy? Let's hope and have faith in better future with the brilliant Kamala and her VP Walz. Let's pray the majority USA folks have understood what a threat tRump is to democracy and vote 💙💙💙. Best wishes and Greetings from Heidelberg ❤️
@@michelez715 There was a study done that showed most dictatorships last 80 years before they are toppled. That's almost 4 generations of people. YIKES!! VOTE BLUE OR LOSE IT ALL!!!
Richtig!!! ( I am an American who has lived in Germany for over 20 years.) I really believe that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will win and derail the Trump/MAGA train.
Vote blue my fine American friends . The world needs democracy in the US and a proper US Supreme Court. Vote both houses blue so the corrupt Supreme Court Justices can be properly impeached.
The truth is, to me: They LOVE the hatefulness, the challenging of our Justice system( tramp), trying to show a weakness to prosecute on the part of justice, when the law was giving them breaks , which was , to me, a BIG mistake! I think ANYONE who works for gov't should be held to a strict & focused mode of conduct, as they represent ALL of us who depend on them to work for US, not themselves, Corporations, or hooking up with corrupt lobbyists for profit! It goes on & on, Unless We The People get up off our asses and FIGHT BACK!! 🗽🗽🗽🇺🇲🇺🇦🇺🇲🇺🇦😡😡💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I spent 3 years in the US in the 90‘s and back argued that there was a concrete risk for the country to slip into authoritarianism (as a German, I guess I am oversensitive). My friends laughed off any such prospect, I.e. the US culture was intrinsically immune to fascism. And that lack of awareness of potential slippery slope is the exact reason why fascism could take over in a lightning. It took the NSDAP exactly less than two months to turn a (polarized) Weimar Republic into a one-party state. Don’t ever believe it „cannot happen here“
Also the European democracies that were built out of the ruins of WWII have more solid democratic institutions. Proportional representation eg has its issues but it avoids a minority to take control of the country. The US still relies on an institutional structure that is more 200 years old and it shows. It’s the electoral college that allowed Trump to become president even when he lost the popular vote. It’s the senate that allows republicans to exercise an overinflated influence on US politics compared to their actual votes share. Not to mention scotus. Too many weak spots that bad actors can exploit to their advantage.
@@geraldstephens6612 MAGA are ALREADY descending into purges and infighting. Look how Rogan and that kid who murdered protestors were brought to heel in less than a day.
The dirty secret is the "F word" in American politics has always been Fascism. Prescott Bush the father and grandfather of both George's was not only a Nazi sympathizer but a full on Nazi collaborater. GHW Bush joked about it. Our country supported Franco and all these Central/South American dictators simply because for their anti-communist stance. This is scratching the surface.
Did you vote for Kamala ? Where is your Democracy when it came to your presidential candidate? Looks like a dictator was appointed by the DNC . Nobody voted for her
It's to late. American instituations have become to weak due to polarization. If Trump does not topple democracy this election, someone else will in a later election.
Make no mistake you will lose your Democracy if you don’t fight for it this election! Vote out the GOP now while you still have the chance. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
@@dilmeral By all means vote, but _si vis pacem, para bellum._ I'm not sure simply winning the election will extinguish the threat. If democracy loses the election, then we are at war whether we like it or not.
@christopheroliver148 Sadly, you are 1000% correct! tRump and his maggats already said there will be blood shed if we don't let them win and take our Democracy! Smdh
Wrong. The left needs to be stopped. They are coming for your kids already. Look at the laws they are passing in California. They want kids to be reporting their parents. Disggusting
Observing from Canada, I am hoping for a Democratic win 'all the way down the ticket'. To have our 'sleeping elephant' descend into Christian Nationalist Facism would be extremely disappointing for me. Rooting for the Dems from Canada!
This Historian made one very good point. Trump is old & not well. To Vote Maga is to vote JD Vance as President !! This is not the type of person for the job, as much as Trump. THINK HARD ON THIS !! VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙
One talks about preferring to be electrocuted rather than being eaten by a shark...the other is the consumption of Diet Mountain Dew being rascist....Wtaf ???
Good point. I’ve been so wrapped up in trumps narcissism that it never occurred to me that Vance could become President. OMG, hell no to him as well. Vote Blue!!
I agree. They are pushing to get him into office and to remove Trump. Vance is not capable of being a president let alone a VP. I wouldn't trust him with my pets!! They would kick him off the couch!;
he is powered by the people. one person cant do all this by himself. its all MAGA people that are responsible for this, they are chasing a false dream of 2 dollar gas prices because they are uneducated and poor and walking us to the end of the best nation in modern history as we know it
All through his first term, I had a friend who always said, "Don't worry, the courts will fix it," but we lost a human right for the first time. Its deeply foolish to think it couldn't be worse.
They've been trampling down our rights little by little under the guise of public safety, officer safety and immunity. Sadly many of our Dems have been onboard for this. Trading rights for security has always led to tyrannical governments.
It's already worse, with the Supreme Court decision to expand Presidential power by making criminal prosecution of a President, impossible, for crimes committed during their presidency.
Greene actually had said "only the sick and elderly were supposed to die." If people aren't terrified by another trump administration, they're not paying attention
not to mention life is supposed be more about just surviving.....lmfao..... donnie shit stains will most definitely tear america apart even more than he did the first time ....once you fucken break something it never works the same again
As an Australian, I am well aware of what Trump is trying to do. Don't let him get away with it, in any form. After defeating Trump this election, the laws that constrain the presidency have to be tightened, and made certain.
Another Australian, watching in horror, and dismayed and can't fathom how this ridiculous man who has a serious Personality Disorder is able to stand for re- election....corrupting the country and endangering his country and the rest of the world.
When Harris wins, she should not be in hurry to repeal all the supreme courts recent rulings. There is one she could use to fix the supreme court problem. Yep.
Canadian here. Just love watching all the Harris/Walz rallies. Now that’s character, positivity, patriotism, honesty and care for the middle class at its finest! Wow!🇨🇦🙏🇺🇸
If Trump does win and after listening to this, I may leave the country!! I would pick Canada first. I know there are a lot of hoops to go through but it would be worth it!
What a load of trolls in here! How can anyone buy something like these 2 deepstate puppets say? She sits and warns that Trump will do things that the Democrats have already been doing for 8 years! Lying about "a strong economy" when you are about to go under! Look at reality today, not wat what these 2 sharlatans are sitting and making up is going to happen..... and then we will not talk about Trudeau's fachist dictatorship. You have given away your freedom to a crazy narcissist, and your children will hate you for it!
Even here in the UK we are listening, but fortunately not everyone here has TDS. So we’re hoping Trump will put an end to this insanity… and the endless murder of thousands upon thousands of innocents caught up in Americas geopolitics.
as a Hungarian, the US can still stop the same that happened to us happening to your beautiful country! Learn from our mistake, you still got a chance in this November to turn this around, towards a a lot more beautiful future! I believe that the whole world is watching you right now, and so much is at stake. But it's time to finally get optimistic again! ✌️ 💙 🗳️ 🇺🇸
Spent time in Hungary about 40 years ago, where Russia was reducing its influence but still hated; everybody was looking forward, working 2 jobs (got one and their real one) and things seemed optimistic. Then I see what is happening now and find it quite shocking.
@@ME-ol9gk People are very poor on average, which makes many of them hateful/desperate and thus more become criminal, no free media only propaganda, Hungary actually gets a net+ billions from the EU every year, but it's never felt by the population as it all goes towards BS decided by Orbán... all while making propaganda against the feeding hand EU for trying to "control" them. Extremely xenophobic, very limited freedom of expression in the wider public (lot's of censorship even when it comes to theater etc.), book banning in schools in exchange for more "patriotic" books for children, stories of teachers literally drawing swastikas on the blackboard... It all started with Orbán legally getting elected but since then he made damn sure he stays in power indefinitely by changing the constitution etc. Sounds familiar? But of course people are so brainwashed after years of Orbán, that they don't direct their hatred against him, but against the "evil" immigrants, who "make them poor" (meanwhile Hungary actually has the least amount of immigrants in all of the EU lol)
Professor Heather Cox Richardson deserves the medal of freedom for her invaluable lessons of history and how we are at risk of losing all the progress we have made. ❤💙
This interview and warning by the erudite Heather Cox Richardson, should be essential viewing for every American. Chilling! Remain vigilant good people. ✊🏼💙🌊
A guest on Pod Save America this week who had researched project 2025 said that it is so extreme that when Americans here the details they often assume you're exaggerating. Its so outrageous that people tune it out as if it can't be true.
because the major news outlets are part of the problem, look who owns them (billionaires) , its all about the money. this is how facism gets a toe hold and eventually reigns supreme - keep the public in an ignorant state of mind and lied to until its too late. i pray for all Americans to wake up (many already are ).semper fidelis - a former marine.
Heather Cox Richardson is a truly brilliant, dazzlingly knowledgeable, gracious, terribly effective communicator who is so very generous with her time and vast repository of information and insights. I cannot imagine surviving these perilous times without her guidance.

Thank you so much for having Heather on your program. She has been a comfort over the past year. I’m a 65 year old retired teacher living in Alabama. I have three granddaughters and am both outraged and afraid. It can sometimes feel futile here. My husband and I have voted blue since we were 18. Geez, just look at “our” representatives. Egads, Tuberville, and company…they will openly tell you they do not represent Democrats in Alabama. Don’t even get me started on Shelby. How can anyone look at the south and say we do not still have racism? I rest my hope on the black women of our state. They helped us elect Doug Jones for a time. So, there is hope.
I love Doug Jones! A good, honest, and caring representative for ALL of Alabama's citizens. Truly missed. But a tree branch would be better than Tupperware.

I like your play on words! Well said!
I think the only people dismissing it as talk are people who want to vote for him anyway, but still want to maintain the facade that they would never support a real authoritarian who hates the constitution and most of the American people. My brother, sadly, is one of them, despite having a Jewish wife and children, a mother, and two sisters (women whose rights he clearly doesn't respect), as well as a niece who is bisexual- all of whom he sincerely claims to love. There's no explanation.
Heather is sharp and spot on. The US needs to wake the fuck up.
Exactly!
Trump prefers the uneducated.
Right on!
👍, indeed, she is bright!
The flip side is that Democrats are making life too easy for street thugs in the name of a "racial reckoning." The massive crime wave in 2020 was enabled by woke culture. Both they and MAGAts support criminals of different stripes but claim theirs are the righteous ones.
This interview with Heather Cox Richardson should be on 60 minutes and other public information programs.

The problem with Orban is that he's faced no real consequences. As an EU citizen, I believe the EU has a responsibility to protect the integrity of our union by taking action against leaders like him. Orban's behavior keeps escalating-he blocked Sweden's NATO membership until they gave him fighter jets, and now he's planning to allow Russians and Belarusians into Hungary, and by extension the entire Schengen area, with just a national ID, no passport required. This is a serious security risk, and Hungary needs to be expelled from both NATO and the EU immediately.
On top of that, Orban even met with Trump while Biden was president, which is not only inappropriate but illegal in the U.S., and it's a disgrace for the EU. This behavior can't go unchecked. Either Orban leaves, or the entire Hungarian nation does. We need to protect our democracy on both sides of the Atlantic, this is a common fight.
Orban should be charged as an accomplice to Putins crimes against humanity.
Yes
Absolutely
Thank you for making this so clear to understand and see what is happening in the EU. We of course have our noses in our own backyard, but need to see the whole world view.

She hit the nail on the head. People think this would never happen in the USA,but, it is a real possibility.
And there are plenty of right wing lunatics that are hellbent on MAKING IT HAPPEN!!
No. It is happening as we speak. The Supreme court is actually dismantling the Constitution. The justice system is pardoning the former president for espionage, endangering our national security, and instigating a coup. The majority in Congress is actually guilty of treason per our Constitution. It's not a possibility or even probability. It is reality and we are standing on the breaks praying we can stop what the right has put in motion.

Listen to this woman. She understands what is happening 😢😢😢😢
This is frightening what can we do to stop this happening to our country.
Nothing. It’s too late. Our last chance to stop this was two weeks ago when the Democrats just went along and certified the Electoral College vote despite _real reason_ to challenge _all_ of Drumpf’s Electors on the grounds that Drump himself, by _his own assertion_ is Constitutionally _ineligible_ to be elected President this time, therefore any Electoral Votes cast for him could’ve been declared null and void.
The last chance before that was the Electoral College vote itself. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court had already overturned the express will of the Framers of the Constitution in allowing States to overturn the will of Electors. If an Elector votes how they want instead of for the ticket that their Party told them to vote (Parties aren’t even _indirectly alluded to_ anywhere in the Constitution), many States can simply discount their votes and replace them, as well as send them to prison. The whole _point_ of the Electoral College was for the Electors to be _independent_ and vote their _own_ will. Our whole system of “Primaries” and “Caucuses” and such to elect “Delegates” to “Party Conventions” to vote for a “Nominee,” and the “Nominee” picks a Vice Presidential “Running Mate,² and together they form a Party “Ticket” that that Party’s Electors are _pre-pledged_ to vote for? _None_ of what I just put in “quotes” is anywhere in the Constitution.
The last chance that we regular citizens had was November 5. Too many of the voters chose poorly.
American people will have to suffer the consequences. You voted him in and believed his rhetoric. It's grim and sadly you will be very poor, have massive inequality whilst Trump, Musk, will be laughing at you as their wealth increases significantly. Rich will be madly richer and the poor poorer. You will have nothing and no rights. Your doomed. You keep what you sew.
Brace yourself and put out positive energy ⚖️
Keep your eyes and ears open and resist however you can. And always keep the faith. ❤ 🇺🇸
Stay educated, be optimistic and follow your heart. Good things will come. ❤
Ms. Richardson is so intelligent and she needs to be heard by all Americans.
But doesn’t go back to the evils on which the nation was founded. Evil didn’t suddenly appear in the American psyche with this particular descendent of the Nazis
And the south has not recovered, and will not for some time. The education in the south is sadly lacking. It brings out the stupid in it's people.
I live in the south and have for 70 years.
I agree. All Americans, especially the young, should be made graphically aware of the evil threat the Marxist controlled Democrat Party poses. They have infused the concept of globalism into every facet of American culture. Admittedly, it will take an extraordinary effort to identify and permanently remove the causes and repair the damage done. But, it is well within our capability. Donald Trump is just the beginning.
Please people, listen to this lady! She is so right! Praying for all of us!
I'm going to send this to family and friends to watch. Idk if they will, but I have to try. Trump supporters who will lose so much if Trump gets back into office. Can't skim over what 2025 actually means.!!!
When she compares Trumps intentions to what Orban did in Hungary is not new. That's what maybe America doesn't see but the whole Western world sees. Also in Germany, Hitler started with winning the 'uneducated' and we all know what happened next. It's a crazy world.
Trump has already debunked this theory. You guys and gals have a serious case of Trump derangement syndrome., SMH.
4 years of prosperity is all you will get from trump, just like his first 4 years. Get a grip people.

Thank you for speaking up about your country’s current political culture. From your perspective:
1. Why does anyone vote for a known aspiring dictator?
We see the same 2 U.S. presidential candidates, but many Americans are willing to vote for a mean, lying, unethical lawbreaker. I’m lost about this.
2. Don’t we all want educated, intelligent, ethical, alliance-builders with a passion for public service?
3. Why are people willing to destroy the institutions that took 200 years of development?
4. Do you think the guest of this show has the right knowledge about this?

This needs to be screamed from the rooftops. 💙 #voteblue
wdym it is being screamed. DNC has to do that to have a chance cause they have shit policies. DNC is better at marketing, GOP is better at operations
@AnaterZ Is it shit policy to restore women's reproductive lives, allowing the middle class to own homes, lowering the price of prescription drugs, having the child tax credit set, and more for families with newborns. The Dems have been hard at work since day 1 and the Biden/Harris team has accomplished so much. Infrastructure, caping the price of prescription drugs..etc. All your guy did was give the top 1% their tax credits....he cannot even stay on topic. He's such a cry baby and is triggered by everything. He's a very unserious and unstable man. I've read a couple if articles on Trump's economic policies and Harris is correct....what he wants will create everything we purchase to go up. We can debate all day, but in the end...as Elizabeth Warren so eloquently stated, "Shoot, I wouldn't trust those guys to move my couch".
My favorites two commentators. Both so smart, so respectful of each other, and so good at what they do.
Kudos especially to Brian, who asked very intelligent questions and then got out of the way. I am constantly annoyed by interviewers who ask a question and then can't help themselves from interrupting the interviewee.
Richardson is a national treasure! This interview should be required watching for all Americans. We are facing a real threat.

She is so right. They took what Orban did and used it as their playbook. Everyone should read everything Orban did and see what is happening in Hungary now. People are in shock over there because their rights are almost all gone.

I fear that too many Americans don't care they just seem to follow the one that lets them be the horrible selves they want to be! We should have learned from Germany & Hitler,Stalin or Musili! Much else what the US had in the south in our own country before 1860! People need to wake up and stand with our democracy,our Constitution and move forward not backwards!
Republicans at ALL levels are wanting to rule and not governing!!! They are telling you out loud ALL of this and we need to act accordingly! No Republicans at any level for at least the next 30 years! They are showing you WHO they are - believe them!!!!!!!!! 💙
And Von Shitzenpants doesn't hold back in his praise of Mr Orban in Hungary..
Orban/Trump meeting behind closed doors gave me great concern!
As a Hungarian, I am deeply saddened and utterly ashamed that our dictator has become the model for the most concerning plan in US history.
As an American, we don't blame you.
I wish you’d tell what it’s really like living under someone like Irban
Do original Orban supporters realize what happened yet? Are they still supportive?
I remember the Hungarian revolt. (I am that old now) I remember I wanted to runaway and find a way to get to Hungary and help the teenagers there trying to defeat the Soviet tanks. I was hoping Eisenhower would change his mind about defending Hungary. But the revolt was then totally crushed. And here you are a Hungarian concerned about we here in the United States. Love of Freedom and Justice, like those who love, is a human passion that sees through much, no matter how many battles,,,,! Bless you, and God help us achieve more perfect Freedom and Justice ....everywhere.
Relax about that one. Trump is mainly using HITLER"S playbook. Although I am German, this burden of shame rests on the MAGA voters , aka the Republican Party of America, who is enabling the Trump monster and supporting him.

For people who say that we had Trump as President for 4 years and we all survived - actually we did NOT all survive. More than a million of us died of COVID.
Exactly!Some police officers didn’t survive either,some at his rallies didn’t survive,Trump is a domestic terr orist,rap ist,criminal.
The presidency was vacant for those four years..we had no president!
We had a the equivalent, per capita, of deaths here in the UK. I presume we should also blame those deaths on Trump. If I were you my conscience would be reeling over the Ukrainian body count in America’s proxy war with Russia.
And he stacked the supreme court to chip away at our democracy and removed any consequences for illegal acts as president making him king and ultimately dictator All very strategic.
Thank you so much!!! People need to be reminded about trump's blatent disregard of the danger of covid...so many died on his watch..he didn't care. We need to remind people of this. In my mind he killed people and nobody will ever make me forget or brush over that. It was criminal!!!

I was adopted by my grandparents when they were in their mid-50s, and there are three lessons they taught me that stuck the most because I feel those are lessons they actually had to learn themselves. I was told stories about Nixon and what happened with Al Gore... The lessons they taught me:
1) Too much of anything is a bad thing. Moderation and balance is key.
2) Just because many people are saying something, doesn't make it true. And most importantly to the whole country:
3) IT CAN ALWAYS HAPPEN TO YOU.

Letters of an American. Heather is sharp!!
I grew up in East-Germany. Lived there for 23 years before the wall came down. Now I live in a democracy for almost 35 years and see all of it in danger. Like in the USA today.
I fully agree with mrs. Cox. All her comments and explanations reflect my experience living in a faschist system. The really bad news from me for you educated, liberal Americans out there is that you have certainly 40 % of your population who are totally fine to live in an authoritarian system. Because of the concept of abdication . abdication of responsibility. This is the real poison that will destroy your society. And unfortunately over the times you’ll have additional 20-30 % who will adapt to such society.
Therefore Prof Cox predicted that the return of democracy won’t happen in her lifetime. I’d say 100 years of darkness before the light.
Americans cannot imagine how fast a society can broke. You’ve read about, you watched movies about. But experience it on your own it’s a complete different story.
May god bless the American voters on 5th of November. If you guys screw it up over there our lights in Europe will turn off too…

Thank you for having Heather Cox Richardson on your show. She is awesome!
I spent 3 years in the US in the 90‘s and back argued that there was a concrete risk for the country to slip into authoritarianism (as a German, I guess I am oversensitive). My friends laughed off any such prospect, I.e. the US culture was intrinsically immune to fascism. And that lack of awareness of potential slippery slope is the exact reason why fascism could take over in a lightning. It took the NSDAP exactly less than two months to turn a (polarized) Weimar Republic into a one-party state. Don’t ever believe it „cannot happen here“
Also the European democracies that were built out of the ruins of WWII have more solid democratic institutions. Proportional representation eg has its issues but it avoids a minority to take control of the country. The US still relies on an institutional structure that is more 200 years old and it shows. It’s the electoral college that allowed Trump to become president even when he lost the popular vote. It’s the senate that allows republicans to exercise an overinflated influence on US politics compared to their actual votes share. Not to mention scotus. Too many weak spots that bad actors can exploit to their advantage.
Those who want this will soon regret it when the people they choose to do this comes after them...
@@geraldstephens6612 MAGA are ALREADY descending into purges and infighting. Look how Rogan and that kid who murdered protestors were brought to heel in less than a day.
The dirty secret is the "F word" in American politics has always been Fascism. Prescott Bush the father and grandfather of both George's was not only a Nazi sympathizer but a full on Nazi collaborater. GHW Bush joked about it. Our country supported Franco and all these Central/South American dictators simply because for their anti-communist stance. This is scratching the surface.
Thank you. It cannot be said often enough!
Heather Cox Richardson is a national treasure.
national disaster
She is a wonderful resource...
@@nachoscuttle yes Russian bot....try again. Trump is going bye bye.
This lady has a beautiful soul ❤
Please, we as Americans cannot and will not allow this. Please vote to KEEP our Constitutional Republic and Democracy. We don't need a dictator.
Did you vote for Kamala ? Where is your Democracy when it came to your presidential candidate?
Looks like a dictator was appointed by the DNC . Nobody voted for her
And more importantly, we don’t want one.
It's to late. American instituations have become to weak due to polarization. If Trump does not topple democracy this election, someone else will in a later election.
In case you were too stupid to notice USA has been a military dictatorship since 1945.
@@susanbradleyskov9179 Trump isn't the villain we need OR deserve!
OMG you got Dr. Cox Richardson!!! Well done. I literally got chills listening to her message of faith in the American people and hope.
Make no mistake you will lose your Democracy if you don’t fight for it this election! Vote out the GOP now while you still have the chance. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
And we have to fight by simple voting and encourage people to vote
No need to fight like trump wants
You don't even know what democracy means. Democracy is being stolen by the democrats.
@@dilmeral By all means vote, but _si vis pacem, para bellum._ I'm not sure simply winning the election will extinguish the threat. If democracy loses the election, then we are at war whether we like it or not.
@christopheroliver148 Sadly, you are 1000% correct! tRump and his maggats already said there will be blood shed if we don't let them win and take our Democracy! Smdh
Wrong. The left needs to be stopped. They are coming for your kids already. Look at the laws they are passing in California. They want kids to be reporting their parents. Disggusting
You NEED to “Replay” This NOW
Observing from Canada, I am hoping for a Democratic win 'all the way down the ticket'. To have our 'sleeping elephant' descend into Christian Nationalist Facism would be extremely disappointing for me. Rooting for the Dems from Canada!
Thank you for your support, Delilah!! 🇨🇦🇺🇲💙
I am not Christian I’m atheist so forcing Christianity would be tragic for me and other atheists
@nowat4987
And ANYONE else who has different beliefs who aren't "Christians."
Thank you, neighbor up north! 🇺🇸🇨🇦
We’re going to do our best! Thank you for your support😊
This Historian made one very good point. Trump is old & not well. To Vote Maga is to vote JD Vance as President !! This is not the type of person for the job, as much as Trump. THINK HARD ON THIS !! VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙
Exactly. He’s a rube to be used by the corrupt oligarchs.
Get out and REGISTER and VOTE 💙🗳️🇺🇸🗽 to save democracy. Your voice and vote MATTER!!
Great point!
One talks about preferring to be electrocuted rather than being eaten by a shark...the other is the consumption of Diet Mountain Dew being rascist....Wtaf ???
Good point. I’ve been so wrapped up in trumps narcissism that it never occurred to me that Vance could become President. OMG, hell no to him as well. Vote Blue!!
I agree. They are pushing to get him into office and to remove Trump. Vance is not capable of being a president let alone a VP. I wouldn't trust him with my pets!! They would kick him off the couch!;
I am very grateful to Dr. Heather Cox Richardson and her devotion to advocating people to protect our democracy.
Thank you thank you Brian COHEN❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Donald Trump’s leaving a terrible stain on the history of USA 🇺🇸 .
HE SHIT the BED
The whole Republican Party is a stain. They have been working toward this for decades!
he is powered by the people. one person cant do all this by himself. its all MAGA people that are responsible for this, they are chasing a false dream of 2 dollar gas prices because they are uneducated and poor and walking us to the end of the best nation in modern history as we know it
Hence the title of Von Shitzenpants......
"Stain"? He is pouring acid on our democracy!
All through his first term, I had a friend who always said, "Don't worry, the courts will fix it," but we lost a human right for the first time. Its deeply foolish to think it couldn't be worse.
The courts are highly politicised, operate with impunity and have recently lost their sense of shame.
100%.
They've been trampling down our rights little by little under the guise of public safety, officer safety and immunity. Sadly many of our Dems have been onboard for this. Trading rights for security has always led to tyrannical governments.
It's already worse, with the Supreme Court decision to expand Presidential power by making criminal prosecution of a President, impossible, for crimes committed during their presidency.
it absolutely will be worse than this and we need to fight for our country and our rights and the future of our children too
For those who say "we already had 4 years of trump& we all survived".... please ask the loved ones of the 1,104,000 who died of COVID-19 in the USA.
😔
Greene actually had said "only the sick and elderly were supposed to die." If people aren't terrified by another trump administration, they're not paying attention
It's iratating that no one talks about the million people gone 😢
not to mention life is supposed be more about just surviving.....lmfao..... donnie shit stains will most definitely tear america apart even more than he did the first time ....once you fucken break something it never works the same again
Ashley Babbit didnt

The best and eye-opening interval video, that is actually happening right now in our lives.
As an Australian, I am well aware of what Trump is trying to do.
Don't let him get away with it, in any form.
After defeating Trump this election, the laws that constrain the presidency have to be tightened, and made certain.
Another Australian, watching in horror, and dismayed and can't fathom how this ridiculous man who has a serious Personality Disorder is able to stand for re- election....corrupting the country and endangering his country and the rest of the world.
But why hasn't that ALREADY happened during the current administration? I simply don't understand.
Say the democrats who forcefully removed Biden and installed another invalid.
@@mofam8219because the democrats are corrupt as hell. They don’t care about you.
When Harris wins, she should not be in hurry to repeal all the supreme courts recent rulings. There is one she could use to fix the supreme court problem. Yep.
I love Heather Cox Richardson. I look forward to Letters from an American everyday! Thank you, Brian, for having her on the show!
Canadian here. Just love watching all the Harris/Walz rallies. Now that’s character, positivity, patriotism, honesty and care for the middle class at its finest! Wow!🇨🇦🙏🇺🇸
what are we doing in Canada?
our bland Stephen Harper & fellowCons are part of the wanna-be authoritarian network. We ignore this at our peril.
If Trump does win and after listening to this, I may leave the country!! I would pick Canada first. I know there are a lot of hoops to go through but it would be worth it!
What a load of trolls in here! How can anyone buy something like these 2 deepstate puppets say? She sits and warns that Trump will do things that the Democrats have already been doing for 8 years! Lying about "a strong economy" when you are about to go under! Look at reality today, not wat what these 2 sharlatans are sitting and making up is going to happen..... and then we will not talk about Trudeau's fachist dictatorship. You have given away your freedom to a crazy narcissist, and your children will hate you for it!
@@DragonNinja4680
WHY not Fix your own country?
Thank you Brian Cohen and Heather.🙏
Thank you Brian for having Heather on. She is the most informed historian. I just hope everyone is listening. 😢
Even here in the UK we are listening, but fortunately not everyone here has TDS. So we’re hoping Trump will put an end to this insanity… and the endless murder of thousands upon thousands of innocents caught up in Americas geopolitics.
as a Hungarian, the US can still stop the same that happened to us happening to your beautiful country! Learn from our mistake, you still got a chance in this November to turn this around, towards a a lot more beautiful future! I believe that the whole world is watching you right now, and so much is at stake. But it's time to finally get optimistic again! ✌️ 💙 🗳️ 🇺🇸
Fantastic comment ! ..greets from the Netherlands
Another one of the netherlands thans you for your comment
Spent time in Hungary about 40 years ago, where Russia was reducing its influence but still hated; everybody was looking forward, working 2 jobs (got one and their real one) and things seemed optimistic. Then I see what is happening now and find it quite shocking.
@@ME-ol9gk People are very poor on average, which makes many of them hateful/desperate and thus more become criminal, no free media only propaganda, Hungary actually gets a net+ billions from the EU every year, but it's never felt by the population as it all goes towards BS decided by Orbán... all while making propaganda against the feeding hand EU for trying to "control" them. Extremely xenophobic, very limited freedom of expression in the wider public (lot's of censorship even when it comes to theater etc.), book banning in schools in exchange for more "patriotic" books for children, stories of teachers literally drawing swastikas on the blackboard...
It all started with Orbán legally getting elected but since then he made damn sure he stays in power indefinitely by changing the constitution etc. Sounds familiar?
But of course people are so brainwashed after years of Orbán, that they don't direct their hatred against him, but against the "evil" immigrants, who "make them poor" (meanwhile Hungary actually has the least amount of immigrants in all of the EU lol)
I am so sorry for what has happened to Hungary. I pray for your country.
Professor Heather Cox Richardson deserves the medal of freedom for her invaluable lessons of history and how we are at risk of losing all the progress we have made. ❤💙
RIGHT ON!!!
This interview and warning by the erudite Heather Cox Richardson, should be essential viewing for every American. Chilling! Remain vigilant good people. ✊🏼💙🌊
Well said thought exactly same thing
Government making anything compulsory viewing is exactly what we’re trying to prevent.
@@JGarner511 : I changed it to "essential", just for you coz you're special. 🤦🏼
This girl is spitting facts!!! I pray the other news outlets bring her on. We need this truth to be heard!!
it looks like people are starting to join the dots
A guest on Pod Save America this week who had researched project 2025 said that it is so extreme that when Americans here the details they often assume you're exaggerating. Its so outrageous that people tune it out as if it can't be true.
because the major news outlets are part of the problem, look who owns them (billionaires) , its all about the money. this is how facism gets a toe hold and eventually reigns supreme - keep the public in an ignorant state of mind and lied to until its too late. i pray for all Americans to wake up (many already are ).semper fidelis - a former marine.
Heather Cox Richardson is a truly brilliant, dazzlingly knowledgeable, gracious, terribly effective communicator who is so very generous with her time and vast repository of information and insights. I cannot imagine surviving these perilous times without her guidance.
Heather Cox Richardson is so knowledgeable. We need to hear more from her! Daily! On all media venues! Her grasp of Project 2025 dangers is spot on.
@@patsyfuttere2625You may know this already but she does publish a daily email that anyone can sign up for- free! Letters to an American. Plus webcasts, usually twice a week.
One of the most powerful broadcasts I’ve ever seen in our modern age. Thank You Brian! This must be shared throughout the country. Heather Cox Richardson is spot on!
Vote Blue! Save our once United States of America 🇺🇸
She is the best!!! She has kept so many of us sane during the last 8 years! Follow her if you don't!
This is an important interview! It deserves the widest distribution possible.
yes cut and paste it to all your friends .. this guest has raised the alarm bells and every American should hear this . But not just hear it but " Do Something " and that is vote Blue ..
Thank you.
I just burst into tears! Joy! Togetherness! Hope! Working toward a better world! It's all on the line people!
It gets me pretty emotional too😢😊
Thank you so much for having Heather on your program. She has been a comfort over the past year. I’m a 65 year old retired teacher living in Alabama. I have three granddaughters and am both outraged and afraid. It can sometimes feel futile here. My husband and I have voted blue since we were 18. Geez, just look at “our” representatives. Egads, Tuberville, and company…they will openly tell you they do not represent Democrats in Alabama. Don’t even get me started on Shelby. How can anyone look at the south and say we do not still have racism? I rest my hope on the black women of our state. They helped us elect Doug Jones for a time. So, there is hope.
That and what if SSA Medicare is defunded. Homeless parents ugh
I love Doug Jones! A good, honest, and caring representative for ALL of Alabama's citizens. Truly missed.
But a tree branch would be better than Tupperware.
I am a 70 year old retired Teacher living in the wonderful BLUE state of Maryland! Maryland DEMOCRATS outnumber Republicans by a margin of 2:1! We have our very first black Gov. Wes Moore and Democrats hold a STRONG majority in BOTH the MD State Senate and House of Delegates !
Me too! She has kept me sane
@@InnocentPotato-pd7wiMaryland the best state imho
