Exactly. And speaking of bullies, Trump’s administration began with the sorry spectacle of two billionaires taking poor children’s lunch money. I am 72, and I remember Richard Nixon. For all his corruption, even he was not as callous and cruel as the Trump administration.
The best way I've ever heard Trump's mentality regarding money/trade explained is that, in his mind, you're getting ripped off if you pay for something. You had money, but now the money's gone and you've just got some product you paid for. This is borne out by his notorious reputation for stiffing contractors and more or less just stealing all the time. It's also the main thrust behind his idiotic trade wars: that less powerful economies like Vietnam who have a giant trade surplus with the US are "ripping us off" because we buy a ton of extremely cheap goods from them and they hardly buy anything from us. It's like saying I have a trade deficit with Taco Bell and they're ripping me off because they don't buy anything from me.
Congress and the Senate needs to pass a ruling between the houses enabling all members to vote with the secret ballot. This does not disclose their names and they can’t be ridiculed for voting against one subject or another by voting with secret ballot they can vote their consciousness without revealing their name. !
RepubliCONs always falsely name their pathetic legislation to dupe the ignorant. There are no citizens untied. It is clearly corporations united. This Supreme Court is such a disgrace.
Since Trump came into Office, he and Musk doubled their wealth. We've never had so many billionaires in the world, too. There's only so much to go around the world. It's all about balance! Somebody takes, somebody loses. Trump and his cronies have already taken a lot and the People is gdtting poorer and poorer. Trump isn't finished yet, by far. Think of all the monuments he intends to build. That's what Hitler did, btw. Google Hitler and architecture in Munich and see for yourselves. Why would you support this?
Heritage is part of a bigger movement that goes back to the businessman's plot and Smedley Butler. Fast forward to the Powell memo (the businessman's plot 2.0 with Reagan as their Butler this time) and its call to arms to the corporate world, soon after heritage was created along with a plethora of other orgs and think tanks and foundations many with deep religious ties. These groups have had a powerful and profound impact on our government and influence both parties to such a degree that the public will is no longer a consideration but a hinderance. In my opinion the entire movement is nothing short of treasonous.
not necessarily. When Trump is gone, Republicans can return to their original causes and platforms. I can’t believe we would find anyone following his lawless ways.
It is important to note that the demise of Kristi Noem was forced by the democrats in the legislature and also by the actions of brave Minnesotans. Noem folded under intense pressure.
Do why then can't you people get rid of this illegal regime one that is filled with criminals who have no clue as to what they are doing. Please do anything now!
I’m from Washington State, and Gov. Ferguson just passed our first millionaires tax !! I’m so happy. The money will go back to free children’s lunches, children’s daycare, healthcare, and other Nobel things to keep Washington stable. Thank you for your support l, guidance and wisdom to help us build our new country ❤
It's a 9.9% tax on earnings over $1m a year. No top limit. No loop holes. There are 30k people in Washington State at that level. Estimate $4b a year in taxes. If the US did this @ 3%?!! A different country.
@maradot9598 true. But right now, people are pissed off and will be more aware. At least for a time. 😊 . I have always assumed if there are 3 people in a room, someone is taking top position eventually. Even in a marriage, it's common.
Yes, and truth / accuracy in news reporting. Fox “NEWS”, NEWSMAX, OANN, et al, need to be held accountable for their roles as accomplice. Justice must be brought to bear!
Yeah, and it's REALLY unfortunate that the UK has to kowtow to Israel like the USA. We have wealthy Jewish donors that control the Congress and we have AIPAC that has more money and some very weird connection that ALL of our representatives have with Israel. It was really disappointing to watch BBC interviews and hear your people sound just like our people sound and calling Starmer weak because he's not completely caving to Israel. We have given Israel money in the billions every year not counting the weaponry we get them. I hope the UK isn't doing that, too.
Trump voted himself into power??? Your neighbour is breaking the world. Your family and friends are breaking the world. Leave Trump alone. He's one man.
And profiting from it emmencly to boot 🥾 Now him and his friends will also profit from the “war” clean up. When are we going to stop being afraid of a paper President and fight back?
We need to introduce legislation and dollars to provide assistance and monetary ability for helping people get their birth certificates, government IDs and all the requirements we put out for regulating voter’s rights. We also need to introduce legislation that allows the use of birth certificates in maiden names that can be used in conjunction with married names.
Good point! Unfortunately, here we are, so as another person commented, check to make sure you are still registered to vote and under what name, AND, get your id in order. As a side note, the GOP is now down to the slim majority of 4 seats. They may lose their majority before the mid terms.
Take bio samples on the walk thru, mark exact sample location. Sample food in the kitchen that day, fridges to serve. Comb thru admn records and med quarters, all medicines, patient list. Denied? GET INTERNATIONAL OVERSIGHT STAT. 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🇺🇲🫂🫂
I was going to make the same comment--no money for oil wars or billionaires or corporate subsidies or ICE. Fund healthcare, food, shelter, clean air and water, education for all.
I said the same thing, Heather. Iran is NOT Venezuela. Dude has kicked over a murder hornet’s nest! Can’t TACO his way out of this one! Appreciate you!❤
Don’t forget - in California, Newsom brought the issue to the electorate, and over 2/3rds of us voted for temporary gerrymandering to counter Trump’s move in Texas. It was a democratic process - unlike the move by the compliant republican Texas legislature that did their redistricting without the imprimatur of majority vote (or public input of any kind)
Thank you for reminding us and for modeling to the next generation the vigilance, mental rigor, self-control, and courage necessary to keep a republic.
Mike Johnson has forgotten that as a congressional representative, he’s taken a vow to represent the people and uphold the constitution of the United States, not the president, and especially not a corrupt malignant dictator. 😮
He could not have gotten into politics FOR the people. He is in politics for god and god only. trump is only a tool to his ultimate boss (so he thinks).
Putin needs to sell HIS oil again. Trump is doing his bidding Venezuela/ Iran. We know Putin’s been on the phone with him and we know Putin has leverage on this man. Trump is doing whatever he tells him to do and has been for a while now.
He's also never pumped his own gas, made a sandwich, gone grocery shopping, used an ATM, skipped a meal because he couldn't afford it, changed a light-bulb, said "I love you" to someone and meant it.
What we did was to turn another generations of Iranians against us. Before, they didn't quite understand their elders hatred of the US. Now they understand it.
Actually, this regime has turned most of our historic allies against us. Young Iranians are just a drop in the international bucket of nations that want nothing to do with us, or to destroy us. We have no allies, now! Well, maybe Putin ,for a season.
@D@DavincisGirl66am so sad and sorry to say that I completely understand that sentiment. I am at an age that I might never see this reversed but I so hope that future generations can create better relationships based upon humanity and appreciation for both our differences and the very things that should bond us together….like trust and fairness and a desire to want an be better neighbors.❤
Thank you for highlighting the lack of visibility on the establishment of concentration camps throughout the country! This is such a terrifying moment and I pray that we will not forget all of the people being locked up and removed from our protection! This regime is so callous and indifferent to suffering and human dignity! I’m so horrified by what has been ushered in over the past 35 years or so!
I have a hard time understanding why billionaires are so resentful of paying taxes. I couldn’t spend a billion dollars in my lifetime let alone multi billions. Why don’t they want to contribute to society?
Non-addicts always have a hard time understanding addicts. Their addiction is power - they'll never have enough. except there is only one way for it to destroy them, cause it's not like other addictions to substances that will physically take them out
I personally think that money changes the mindset of a person. The larger the amount the further away from reality that mindset gets from reality. Just a small opinion.
@nelsaf365 Agreed. They feel powerful and superior, so being forced to give up some money (contribute to society, healthcare and public works) makes them a bit more ordinary; a bit less special.
IMO: The Trump Administration is nothing more than a crime syndicate, dressed up as a political administration. What else can explain the lawlessness and lack of conscience?
When he’s impeached, The entire Republican Party & This cabinet should be held accountable & Prosecuted for their dereliction of duty, They took an oath to uphold the constitution, That means something to Americans,
Kansas wishes you well in the future. The axis had shifted away from us - to you. Unfortunately. Remember to pre-charge your phones - early. Hang onto that charger afterwards, but most importantly - put in substantial shoes EARLY - for ALL OF YOU - for the aftermath. Stay well-informed!! We are hoping the best for you all, truly.
If USA wants the Iranians to rise up against their terrible regime. I think its time for us to stand up and rise against our own regime who threatens world stability. If Minnesota can do it, so can we all.
Thank-you Heather! I have a retail store, and definitely chit chat with my customers. When the subject comes up of the horrific mess we are facing under this DJT terrorist regime, I always say, do you know of HRC? Many know of your work, but those that don't; I write your name down for them to follow.
You are awesome Heather Cox Richardson! I admire and appreciate your brilliance, expertise, and ability to explain what is going on in this crazy world we live in.
We are stoking the flames of worldwide hate. WHY would we want to do that? THIS puts Americans at RISK!! TO be clear, I am saying the insulting, the threatening, the tariffs, the Police state for people here now, and the fear of same for international visitors, and we've had a huge decrease in tourism to the US. Trump et al doesn't leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth, they make people angry and disgusted, and they DO NOT respect ANY of them. The goodwill and the MONEY lost, is immeasurable! Even Trump's world ambassadors are COMPLETE MAGA extremists! It will take DECADES to repair and I realized tonight that, I won't be here to see it.....and that, is sad.
Shes the most hateful far left podcaster of all the others, even packman. She spews hate venom, and toxic lies. Know one is leaving our party, the y are definitly running from your party, because they are fed up with the hate and especially the lies,, and the constant rediculous stunts. They were sure Crockett would win, but it turned out no one trusted her or took her serious in fact they were embarrassed by her. I agree, the senate is more formal, and jasmine lacked poise and grace. And there are still normies in your party.Of course I know that i have family in the dems. Miy family rocks, I love we think differently.
@kennethroberts511Why would she. 1st she isn't stoking fear and anger, that's Trump. Heather is a Historical Professor. Maybe you should ask yourself? Why are you here if you hate her so much. Sounds like you really have possibly drinking that Trump Kool-aid.. She doesn't control any of the political environment she studies it. Sorry if that is lost on some. So if you don't like it, dont listen. Seems simple enough. Anyway have to day you deserve. Take care.
We just had a situation in Michigan last week where 2 towns experienced tornado damage and weren't properly warned in advance - I had to wonder how much of that was due to cuts in the NWS.
39:17 We spent about $300 each for our passports by the time we added all the various vital records expenses, shipping, expediting, etc.. The whole process took months.
Importantly, the passport process, and mail of ballots systems are 100% under federal control. They could just decide to stop processing both with any alacrity. .
I think it's time to prepare for violence. Waiting until it's here in November is too late. The world will be in such a turmoil (his goal) that he will have declared martial law and we the people facing guns and our own military!😢
Money makes people fall into line. I know N Korea’s leader doesn’t have to pay anyone to clap. The result is the same whether you pay $$$$ or threaten. So what is it we see? republicans are paid to threaten American communities.
Thank you Dr. Richardson. You are so experienced in our History. I'm learning so much from you. I will not give up on our independence. Yes I'm tired but we can't just crawl in a corner and give up. Thank you, I love your Rabbit Holes. 😊
I think we're all forgetting that trump works for Putin. The war on Iran is doing what it needed to do: destabilize the middle east, cause future migrations into countries around, stop oil export. This strengthens far right parties in Europe (and forces Europe to accept oil from Russia). Trump works for Putin
Heather, thank you so much for sitting down and educating us on how these things work in our country. We should be learning a lot more of this in school and very regularly.
Another Crackerjack speech! Your know- ledge and delivery style are so clear & convincing. You make us smarter every day. As an old lady, I look forward to my 3rd No Kings March with my old lady friends. We believe that more & more people come to these events because of you & the other independent podcasters showing us the truth of our current situation. We need to stand up to the fascism around us because it eats at the soul of liberty & justice for all.
Do NOT wait to get you documents in order…. Don’t wait! Rather get everything ready they are touting about that you will need to secure your right to vote. You all need to vote to bring an end to this regime
Absolutely, make sure your Voter Registration is Correct. Wether you own property or rent you will need to show verification of address by showing a utility bill with your name on it because voting districts are assigned by location. If you don’t drive, go get a certified ID at the License Bureau. It costs around $12.00 Get copies of your Birth certificate, Social Security Card, Divorce Papers ect Now.
@lindajosendale8979 And vote as early as you can, even if you have to book the day off, just in case there is ANY problem with the data in their system and they've got an old address. (I saw that happen when I assisted with the first electronic election in St Catharines, Ontario Canada. The previous year, everyone's address was correct. Suddenly, the system was spitting out addresses that were previous addresses. One couple said they had moved twice since that address. Give me paper ballots any time.)
The bullies stole everyone's lunch money, and their excuse is, "I already spent it".
Time to tell them they aren't well... one way or another, they need to take their medicine
Exactly. And speaking of bullies, Trump’s administration began with the sorry spectacle of two billionaires taking poor children’s lunch money. I am 72, and I remember Richard Nixon. For all his corruption, even he was not as callous and cruel as the Trump administration.

@d@doctorbarber1 That’s a great way to put it. Thank you.
@doctorbarber1Know a woman who works in fashion industry. Company nearly driven into the ground by the tariffs on fabric sources.
This whole thing isn’t about what Trump is constitutionally allowed to do, it’s about who is going to stop him.
we are. we the people
Congress and the Senate needs to pass a ruling between the houses enabling all members to vote with the secret ballot. This does not disclose their names and they can’t be ridiculed for voting against one subject or another by voting with secret ballot they can vote their consciousness without revealing their name. !
@MrJojo20this is a GREAT idea! 👆
The hardest part of a 2 week war is the first 6 years
Just ask Putin!
Concentration camps...are the most disturbing, disgusting and most concerning for me. These are not simply detention centers. Very dangerous.
We need to stop the purchase them and get ahead of data centers being built.
People are being tortured here in the US EVERY DAY. MANY OF THEM ARE CHILDREN
Amen
Where?
@M.Đ-z4u check with DHS
I am also ready to get rid of citizens united. Worst thing that ever happened.
You mean Corporate United?
RepubliCONs always falsely name their pathetic legislation to dupe the ignorant. There are no citizens untied. It is clearly corporations united. This Supreme Court is such a disgrace.
You will have to get rid of ALEX as well.
The Rich want to live here...they should do what we do ..PAY. TAXES !
Yes. A lot of taxes
No more hiding $ offshore. Close loopholes. Regulation is protection for all.
Let them find somewhere to live with less taxes but better housing to buy. Go for it Bruh.
We really are in an abusive relationship with our federal government
with the rest of the world.
@MeliferaMelifera-e4v por que los dos
Since Trump came into Office, he and Musk doubled their wealth. We've never had so many billionaires in the world, too.
There's only so much to go around the world. It's all about balance! Somebody takes, somebody loses. Trump and his cronies have already taken a lot and the People is gdtting poorer and poorer. Trump isn't finished yet, by far. Think of all the monuments he intends to build. That's what Hitler did, btw. Google Hitler and architecture in Munich and see for yourselves. Why would you support this?
Since the hanging chad in 2000, we have been abused, manipulated, and held captive by the wealthy who own one side of our two-party system.
No with three tyrants (not our government who is absent). Don, Bibi, and Vlad. 👹👺👿
HERITAGE Foundation all of them should be held accountable
💯
Heritage is part of a bigger movement that goes back to the businessman's plot and Smedley Butler. Fast forward to the Powell memo (the businessman's plot 2.0 with Reagan as their Butler this time) and its call to arms to the corporate world, soon after heritage was created along with a plethora of other orgs and think tanks and foundations many with deep religious ties. These groups have had a powerful and profound impact on our government and influence both parties to such a degree that the public will is no longer a consideration but a hinderance. In my opinion the entire movement is nothing short of treasonous.
Christian fundamentalism must be separated from politics.
@kennethroberts511No, the group responsible for Project 2025. Our VP wrote the forward for it.
Debt clock us. $40.000.000.000.000. Debet. $8.000.000.000.000 costs of the wars
Citizens United has to go. We need the Congress to act.
For anything to change, we have to vote out the Republicans.
not necessarily. When Trump is gone, Republicans can return to their original causes and platforms. I can’t believe we would find anyone following his lawless ways.
It is important to note that the demise of Kristi Noem was forced by the democrats in the legislature and also by the actions of brave Minnesotans. Noem folded under intense pressure.
Do why then can't you people get rid of this illegal regime one that is filled with criminals who have no clue as to what they are doing. Please do anything now!
trump # heading to below 20%
Maine needs to call out Susan Collin’s for LYING!
But "Trump has learned his lesson" /s
@trig33kgirl 😂
@trig33kgirl Yes he has. Unfortunately, those lessons are that he can do whatever he wants. Including have people murdered.
My mom lives in Maine. People are LIVID. I think she may finally get unseated this year (fingers crossed)
Vote her OUT!
The Richardson Letters will be a chronicle for the ages
A first account of history is so valuable. These letters need to be protected for the future
Hopefully, many people are saving them externally.
@HattieLankford-24 China will have a whole archive don't worry
I’m from Washington State, and Gov. Ferguson just passed our first millionaires tax !! I’m so happy. The money will go back to free children’s lunches, children’s daycare, healthcare, and other Nobel things to keep Washington stable. Thank you for your support l, guidance and wisdom to help us build our new country ❤
Wonderful! ❤
It's a 9.9% tax on earnings over $1m a year. No top limit. No loop holes. There are 30k people in Washington State at that level. Estimate $4b a year in taxes. If the US did this @ 3%?!! A different country.
@marycostello9191 my college prof said there where no loopholes in the IRS income taxes first year. There was loopholes the second year.
@maradot9598 true. But right now, people are pissed off and will be more aware. At least for a time. 😊 . I have always assumed if there are 3 people in a room, someone is taking top position eventually. Even in a marriage, it's common.
Didn't trump claim he had those buildings evevacuated? And then it comes out was our missiles? Isn't it easy to connect the dots to a massive lie?😊
Midterm, midterm, midterm. We all must vote and be ready with required docs if necessary.
It is no longer possible to fly on airplanes without what amounts to a SAVE Real ID
BRing your toilet paper for your salty liberal tears too.. because you are about to LOSE AGAIN. LMFAO. 🤣🤣
If they make this law then passports should be free and issued to everyone who is a citizen.
And they need to pass that law *first*, not first impose the poll tax and then consider making passports free later.
Nothing is free.Socialism is not for free 😂
Money out of politics is my top priority on the reform hit parade.
corps.
Private offerings are another funding draw. Such brainacs
the problem is that governments were formed by the rich to defend the rich from the very start.
😮
Yes, and truth / accuracy in news reporting. Fox “NEWS”, NEWSMAX, OANN, et al, need to be held accountable for their roles as accomplice. Justice must be brought to bear!
We’re feeling this in the UK now. Cant wait for Trump to go. He’s breaking the world!
Yeah, and it's REALLY unfortunate that the UK has to kowtow to Israel like the USA. We have wealthy Jewish donors that control the Congress and we have AIPAC that has more money and some very weird connection that ALL of our representatives have with Israel. It was really disappointing to watch BBC interviews and hear your people sound just like our people sound and calling Starmer weak because he's not completely caving to Israel.

We also need to introduce legislation that allows the use of birth certificates in maiden names that can be used in conjunction with married names.
“Breaking the world” is a good way to describe it.
Requiring an ID that has to be purchased is tantamount to a poll tax, which is prohibited by the Constitution.
Yes, but it is a Game we have to play. Get the Information needed & Get your Id’s in order to Vote. No Apathy!
Good point! Unfortunately, here we are, so as another person commented, check to make sure you are still registered to vote and under what name, AND, get your id in order.
As a side note, the GOP is now down to the slim majority of 4 seats. They may lose their majority before the mid terms.
Not to mention that this is an attack on women.
@lindajosendale8979 As much as I hate it...Good point!
I’m sure the Trump will respect the constitution and the law. 😐
A cap on campaign spending for every candidate would be a good start. There are countries that do this. A northern neighbour, here.
We all need to stand together around the globe. We need a regime change here!😮
Elected officials visiting the ice concentration camps should take a state health official with them.
Take bio samples on the walk thru, mark exact sample location. Sample food in the kitchen that day, fridges to serve. Comb thru admn records and med quarters, all medicines, patient list. Denied? GET INTERNATIONAL OVERSIGHT STAT. 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🇺🇲🫂🫂
@Stardustpal25 Great idea... should be compulsory!!
@Stardustpal25 It definitely helps if you offer specifics.
Make the inspection officials eat the food. Not just "sample"-- whole plates full.
Heard the food was full of worms and rat feces
It makes me sick to have to pay my taxes to this regime April 15. Taxation without Representation!!!
There should be a national refusal. THAT would get their attention.
I was going to make the same comment--no money for oil wars or billionaires or corporate subsidies or ICE. Fund healthcare, food, shelter, clean air and water, education for all.
DJT has shown that tax evasion is the path to prosperity. If only you can avoid enough tax to make it worthwhile.
Don’t pay it!
File an extension.
I said the same thing, Heather. Iran is NOT Venezuela. Dude has kicked over a murder hornet’s nest! Can’t TACO his way out of this one! Appreciate you!❤
The fatwa called by the ayatollah may be realized. 🤞🏼
@patriciacaraballo1035 Fatwa.
@TesterAnimal1autocorrect makes for fun postings.
The Ayatollah called Trump, fatuous? Oh, that would make Donald so mad ..if he only knew what it meant!
@TesterAnimal1thank you. I tried to find the correct spelling but failed. At any rate, I l’m good if it succeeds. Eye for an eye.
Don’t forget - in California, Newsom brought the issue to the electorate, and over 2/3rds of us voted for temporary gerrymandering to counter Trump’s move in Texas. It was a democratic process - unlike the move by the compliant republican Texas legislature that did their redistricting without the imprimatur of majority vote (or public input of any kind)
No more money for wars.
Or matching funds from the president’s bank account to give people health care and social security and food stamps.
You are truly amazing, USA needs people like you ! Thank you so much
Watching from Europe, I (we) need her too.
Thank you for reminding us and for modeling to the next generation the vigilance, mental rigor, self-control, and courage necessary to keep a republic.
Mike Johnson has forgotten that as a congressional representative, he’s taken a vow to represent the people and uphold the constitution of the United States, not the president, and especially not a corrupt malignant dictator. 😮
Can’t forget what he never knew
Worst speaker in US history. There are no competitors.
He never had ANY intention of working for the People.
I cannot bear him. He’s a horrid, malignant little thing.
He could not have gotten into politics FOR the people. He is in politics for god and god only. trump is only a tool to his ultimate boss (so he thinks).
Bingo! Congress (Mike Johnson esp.) is answering to the whim(s) of Donald Trump, not we, the people.
Steven Miller, Peter Thiel are pulling the strings. Read project 25 written by the heritage foundation and watch the documentary “bad faith”.
And the 4 democrats who voted with the republicans.
No Kings 3, March 28, in a city or town near you!
Who is going to hold these criminals accountable? Does the rule of law even matter anymore?
It all started with trickle down economics.
Further, the Saudi Oil Embargo. 1973
@davidjones6389 Further, Australopithecus give or take 4 million BC.
I've felt that for years, about "trickle down"...disastrous.
Exactly…Really trickle up!
old cat woman,Vance 2028 witch!
Someone needs to end this insanity. That someone ihas to be us
No Kings Protest. March 28!!!
Yes your mess. .fix it
Or whoever is the designated survivor.
How
Yes! Bring your cats
We dont know what this regime is really doing in this war, but I'm fairly sure they dont have a clue either
You're right that's the whole point.
Putin needs to sell HIS oil again. Trump is doing his bidding Venezuela/ Iran. We know Putin’s been on the phone with him and we know Putin has leverage on this man. Trump is doing whatever he tells him to do and has been for a while now.
@Shadowgrrrrrr sure mate 😂😂.Trump is king 💪💪
@M.Đ-z4u I didn’t realize bots had kings
We love you!!! Ms Richardson is AMAAZING!!! Lets end this nightmare America!
There was someone Stalin sent to the gulag for being the first to sit down after a 10 minute standing ovation.
29:16 Christ it’s like the twilight zone episode with the omnipotent kid who the adults tiptoe around.
Yep. Other worldly.
Billy sending everyone who questions him to the corn field!! Yes!
If they applaud, they can't hear him.
There are no adults in this regime!
Trump is a bad man.. a very bad man. ..wish him to Mars. The cornfield is too close by🙄
Trump has never read the Constitution, nor has he watched Schoolhouse Rock. 😊
😂🤣😂🤣 I was unprepared for the second part hahahahaha well done
And thanks from the UK ❤
He's never read
He's also never pumped his own gas, made a sandwich, gone grocery shopping, used an ATM, skipped a meal because he couldn't afford it, changed a light-bulb, said "I love you" to someone and meant it.
I loved Schoolhouse Rock!👍
What we did was to turn another generations of Iranians against us. Before, they didn't quite understand their elders hatred of the US. Now they understand it.
At the human level, it’s all so tragic.
Actually, this regime has turned most of our historic allies against us. Young Iranians are just a drop in the international bucket of nations that want nothing to do with us, or to destroy us. We have no allies, now! Well, maybe Putin ,for a season.
@LongGame2.0True. I and many Canadians see America as the biggest treat to our country.
@D@DavincisGirl66am so sad and sorry to say that I completely understand that sentiment. I am at an age that I might never see this reversed but I so hope that future generations can create better relationships based upon humanity and appreciation for both our differences and the very things that should bond us together….like trust and fairness and a desire to want an be better neighbors.❤
Thank you for everything you do, it is evident you care deeply about this country.
Thank you for highlighting the lack of visibility on the establishment of concentration camps throughout the country! This is such a terrifying moment and I pray that we will not forget all of the people being locked up and removed from our protection! This regime is so callous and indifferent to suffering and human dignity! I’m so horrified by what has been ushered in over the past 35 years or so!
Those are my issues too. I also want us to reinstate USAID, to make us more responsible global neighbours.
II would see Elon Musk reinstated
@m Deport Musk to South Africa. I doubt Canada wants him back!
@markschroter2640 Musk’s grandpaw was a supporter of the Technocracy movement.
You are not serious
USA1D the C1A cutout?
I have a hard time understanding why billionaires are so resentful of paying taxes. I couldn’t spend a billion dollars in my lifetime let alone multi billions. Why don’t they want to contribute to society?
They are too busy amassing as much money as possible and buying as many lawmakers and judges as possible.
Non-addicts always have a hard time understanding addicts. Their addiction is power - they'll never have enough. except there is only one way for it to destroy them, cause it's not like other addictions to substances that will physically take them out
I personally think that money changes the mindset of a person. The larger the amount the further away from reality that mindset gets from reality. Just a small opinion.
@nelsaf365 oh there is definitely data to support that empathy decreases as wealth increases (but is it a chicken or egg situation?)
@nelsaf365 Agreed. They feel powerful and superior, so being forced to give up some money (contribute to society, healthcare and public works) makes them a bit more ordinary; a bit less special.
Thank god for the informed sanity and reasoned discussion of Heather Cox Richardson. 👏💕
but stay vigilant and upset and call, write and pummel congress to do their job!!!!!
I think I can just about speak for everyone watching when I say that we are not tired of hearing you talk about the NWS.
Lunch money is a terrific idea. Paul Krugman is an excellent economist that uses facts to make economics understandable. Kudos. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why has the Supreme Court failed us? They know how to read.
Follow the money. Find the source of corruption.
💰 💰
6 out 9 are corrupt!
It has been taken over by extremists
I've only asked myself that ohh 'bout 5,000 time!
IMO: The Trump Administration is nothing more than a crime syndicate, dressed up as a political administration. What else can explain the lawlessness and lack of conscience?
@nancyloomis Exactly!
The other thing that explains this is he works for Putin, not us.
So true.
Or Manchurian candidate for Russia/ Israel.
Psychopathy, a thirst for power, a sense of hubris and entitlement and a desperate way of staying out of jail for all the crimes he's committed.
What Heather said! Heather is the port of sanity in the middle of this corrupt, authoritarian storm!
Heather, Changing your life to inform & support the truths of history iwitj clear eyed accuracy. Thank u every day!
I recently read in Solshenitzin’s Archipelago about the fear to stop clapping for Stalin.
Every repug and every corporate Dem is against us.
Stand up. Speak out. Protest as if your life depends on it.
Your life DOES depend on standing up to this madness!!
We are in a world of trouble!
When he’s impeached, The entire Republican Party & This cabinet should be held accountable & Prosecuted for their dereliction of duty, They took an oath to uphold the constitution, That means something to Americans,
Ok I'll play, what are you going to impeach him on this time and how much is the show trial going to cost the tax payer?
These war criminals need to be sent to Hague for trial.
Derp
@JAG-ZHRNo show trial A proper trial...
Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger did their best to warn us. They were Republicans at that time.
LOVE the fire with which you expressed your ideas, re taxing the wealthy and getting representation who actually represents us. ❤
Thank you, Heather. Please take care of yourself. You are our treasure.
So much of me doesn't want to know, but I listen to you because this is my country and and I need to know. Thank you.
Hey, you deserve ❤. Thanks for being here for yourself and everyone.
100%
Well, you're listening to fake Rachael Madow BS. You should probably listen to Larry O'Conner.
@wmw-f3s🤔 you are deffo on the wrong channel 😂
The NWS is vital for us here in tornado alley, especially now that tornado season is upon us.
Kansas wishes you well in the future. The axis had shifted away from us - to you. Unfortunately. Remember to pre-charge your phones - early. Hang onto that charger afterwards, but most importantly - put in substantial shoes EARLY - for ALL OF YOU - for the aftermath. Stay well-informed!! We are hoping the best for you all, truly.
If USA wants the Iranians to rise up against their terrible regime. I think its time for us to stand up and rise against our own regime who threatens world stability. If Minnesota can do it, so can we all.
Yes, and we should also be encouraging the Israeli to rise up against their depraved warmongering genocidal regime.
Trump family now has a bombs company now. Guess who's going to get the contracts. Follow the money.
Thank-you Heather! I have a retail store, and definitely chit chat with my customers. When the subject comes up of the horrific mess we are facing under this DJT terrorist regime, I always say, do you know of HRC? Many know of your work, but those that don't; I write your name down for them to follow.
Lol - I had to explain "Same bat time, same bat channel" to a colleague from Tunisia once.
You are awesome Heather Cox Richardson! I admire and appreciate your brilliance, expertise, and ability to explain what is going on in this crazy world we live in.
We are stoking the flames of worldwide hate. WHY would we want to do that? THIS puts Americans at RISK!!
TO be clear, I am saying the insulting, the threatening, the tariffs, the Police state for people here now, and the fear of same for international visitors, and we've had a huge decrease in tourism to the US. Trump et al doesn't leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth, they make people angry and disgusted, and they DO NOT respect ANY of them. The goodwill and the MONEY lost, is immeasurable! Even Trump's world ambassadors are COMPLETE MAGA extremists! It will take DECADES to repair and I realized tonight that, I won't be here to see it.....and that, is sad.
Shes the most hateful far left podcaster of all the others, even packman. She spews hate venom, and toxic lies. Know one is leaving our party, the y are definitly running from your party, because they are fed up with the hate and especially the lies,, and the constant rediculous stunts. They were sure Crockett would win, but it turned out no one trusted her or took her serious in fact they were embarrassed by her.
I agree, the senate is more formal, and jasmine lacked poise and grace. And there are still normies in your party.Of course I know that i have family in the dems. Miy family rocks, I love we think differently.
It's true. We cheered for Italy's baseball team tonight. 🇮🇹Viva Italia
❤🇨🇦
@kennethroberts511 Greetings, Comrade!! lol
@kennethroberts511 I thought it was your president doing that. Why listen to her/ You are not a bot are you/
@kennethroberts511Why would she. 1st she isn't stoking fear and anger, that's Trump.
Heather is a Historical Professor.
Maybe you should ask yourself? Why are you here if you hate her so much. Sounds like you really have possibly drinking that Trump Kool-aid..
She doesn't control any of the political environment she studies it.
Sorry if that is lost on some.
So if you don't like it, dont listen. Seems simple enough.
Anyway have to day you deserve. Take care.
I love the rabbit holes! I do it all the time with my work 😊
Beware the narcissiscit extinction burst. These are indeed dangerous times
Thank you for the call to action! It is way past time. Appreciate you
The National Weather Service is really important to us in Appalachia. At this point, it seems obvious that it’s important to all of us!
if it really were important appalachians shouldn't have voted for donnie.
We just had a situation in Michigan last week where 2 towns experienced tornado damage and weren't properly warned in advance - I had to wonder how much of that was due to cuts in the NWS.
We must continue to contact our elected officials, and demand of them what we want them to do.
And get/be involved locally
So they can laugh and keep enriching themselves? I'll save my breath
Thank you, Dr. Cox-Richardson! 🙏🏻💙 and happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️
Thank you HCR for your voice and your perspective. We need you more than ever 🎉
Heather, You have been a voice of reason...really appreciate what you say during this mad and god awful time in USA.
39:17 We spent about $300 each for our passports by the time we added all the various vital records expenses, shipping, expediting, etc.. The whole process took months.
Oh no. Can see how this is going to shut out people 😢
Importantly, the passport process, and mail of ballots systems are 100% under federal control.
They could just decide to stop processing both with any alacrity. .
@fiatmortem5128they already taking the steps to make it more difficult - you cannot apply for a passport in a public library anymore.
…because they don’t know the F what they are doing…
Government should be in service of the citizens, not corporations or wars or the super wealthy! 😡
Thanks for keeping us abreast and sharing your knowledge. I appreciate you. 🙏💙🙏
I love the rabbit holes too. Thank you!
Good questions and great answers. We still must get him out
Yes. We have to speak truth to power and not back down. As nonviolently as possible. Thank you!
I think it's time to prepare for violence. Waiting until it's here in November is too late. The world will be in such a turmoil (his goal) that he will have declared martial law and we the people facing guns and our own military!😢
Hegseth heard “Strait of Vermouth” and said I’m all in.
Nine days later I'm listening to this. Nothing has changed except the death toll.
Love listening to your knowledge and lesson’s you talk about. Need of accurate info now more than ever. Thanx!!
Our community is running out of water soon and there is no plan. I don't expect federal help either despite being in a red state.
Thank you Heather!
You’re essential to our future. Please keep up this exceptional talk. You help guide us to a better US.
Love you, Heather, and looking forward to watching LUNCH MONEY! Congratulations! Yay!!!
Ok….doc here. I can visually see your stress……❤️
Know you are loved! Please, remember self care. ❤️🙏❤️🇺🇸☮️
5:35 “oh no, don’t throw me in the br’er patch!”
😊😅😊😅
Furthermore, they are shutting down places where passports can be purchased.
The standing ovation and clapping looked straight out of North Korea.
Scary! Chills me to hear about it & I wasn’t aware of this Clap-a-thon episode. I’ve certainly seen the meetings where they all fawn over him.
Money makes people fall into line. I know N Korea’s leader doesn’t have to pay anyone to clap. The result is the same whether you pay $$$$ or threaten. So what is it we see? republicans are paid to threaten American communities.
Thank you Dr. Richardson. You are so experienced in our History. I'm learning so much from you. I will not give up on our independence. Yes I'm tired but we can't just crawl in a corner and give up. Thank you, I love your Rabbit Holes. 😊
Congrats on the new show, I look forward to watching. I appreciate all you do for our democracy.
Thanks HCR for the invaluable help you give us ... knowledge as well as inspiration.
I think we're all forgetting that trump works for Putin. The war on Iran is doing what it needed to do: destabilize the middle east, cause future migrations into countries around, stop oil export. This strengthens far right parties in Europe (and forces Europe to accept oil from Russia). Trump works for Putin
That’s why he’s known to them as Agent Krasnov.
Bingo
And bi- bi ....
Heather, thank you so much for sitting down and educating us on how these things work in our country. We should be learning a lot more of this in school and very regularly.
Thank you, Heather! You always have this way of safely guiding me off the ledge. I’m so grateful. ♥️🙏🏼
Thank you for talking about the NWS it's extremely important and I think most Americans agree
NWS has always been important to me. Just an average person, but I know what weather can do if one is not prepared.
Let’s support South Park’s Project 2029!
Another Crackerjack speech! Your know- ledge and delivery style are so clear & convincing. You make us smarter every day. As an old lady, I look forward to my 3rd No Kings March with my old lady friends. We believe that more & more people come to these events because of you & the other independent podcasters showing us the truth of our current situation. We need to stand up to the fascism around us because it eats at the soul of liberty & justice for all.
Tear down the Tyrant. Throw out his throne!
As always, I appreciate you so much!
Thank you, Professor Richardson
Do NOT wait to get you documents in order…. Don’t wait! Rather get everything ready they are touting about that you will need to secure your right to vote. You all need to vote to bring an end to this regime
Absolutely, make sure your Voter Registration is Correct. Wether you own property or rent you will need to show verification of address by showing a utility bill with your name on it because voting districts are assigned by location. If you don’t drive, go get a certified ID at the License Bureau. It costs around $12.00 Get copies of your Birth certificate, Social Security Card, Divorce Papers ect Now.
@lindajosendale8979 And vote as early as you can, even if you have to book the day off, just in case there is ANY problem with the data in their system and they've got an old address. (I saw that happen when I assisted with the first electronic election in St Catharines, Ontario Canada. The previous year, everyone's address was correct. Suddenly, the system was spitting out addresses that were previous addresses. One couple said they had moved twice since that address. Give me paper ballots any time.)
Thanks for all you do!❤
