Holy shit, this is the FIRST person in America I've actually heard admit what a shit-show American democracy - and how DARE you tell us you're different. This is the sort of voice that needs to be heard!
I just started listening to the Audiobook of ‘A Return to Common Sense’. Leigh narrates, so it’s an energetic, compellingly sensible listen. The title says it all. Very highly recommend!!
I taught the Constitution to eighth graders for 25 years to your generation, Brian and Leah. Thank you for helping me feel like it wasn't a waste of time.
Leah McGowan’s interest in American politics evolved organically. Born in Canada, she was living in New York City on 9/11. “Watching the city and country come together after that tragedy inspired me to want to be an American citizen. I felt like I had to be part of this country.”
Your work is so much appreciated. I hope there are still others like you teaching civics to young people, and that teachers may finally get the financial and moral support they need to keep giving them the information they need. A healthy DOE, and good teachers' unions, are essential to the health of our nation.
@@ronpflugrath2712 LOL. By the time I retired we had evolved away from chalk, through white boards and were expected to project through computers. Most important lessons I learned, though? When living beings are in survival mode, they don't learn. And even if they are stable if they don't want to learn, they won't.
@@danmac-d7w I want to learn more about her. She's amazing. BTW my son was a student at New School University during 9/11. The school shut down and students told to find somewhere else to stay for three weeks. He and his fiance were living in Brooklyn, but she also worked on island. It took a few hours for him to find her (they shut down the trains into Manhattan before she got there and told passengers to walk away) and get her safely home. The building that housed his program (Mannes) was where families could check to see if their loved ones had been found. One would dare hope that Americans, having experienced that horrific episode, would have compassion for all around the world going through it as I write this.
6 yrs ago Trump placed a raise freeze on major corporations to where employees was not receiving yearly raises....I was stuck with barely 11 dollars under Trump.....until Joe Biden came in ....I then went to 26 dollars overnight I want to keep that
"When you find Bernie Sanders and Dick Cheney on the same team, you know the other team has lost it." My favorite quote! Thank you BOTH for all you do to help speak the truth! 👏
Civics is taught in schools. It was taught when One Time Donnie went to school too. He probably failed. He certainly didn't retain anything from the class as evidenced by his ignorance today.
Politics Girl is brilliant! I would love to repost her answer to Brian’s last question 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I would share it everywhere I could. One of the most passionately eloquent declarations of the real and present danger to OUR democracy. She is as clear as the Liberty Bell!

Understand that that requires not only winning the House but also having 2/3 of the vote in the Senate. IE: If 99 Senators vote, 66 need to vote "guilty." Not likely to happen with the current amount of Republican leaning states.
Yes! She's got an excellent point about Dems supporting news outlets, they need to amplify their smartest speakers, and make sure they get to the audience that we KNOW is out there.
All of us abroad are wondering the same. Trump has exposed so many flaws in how the judicial and political systems work. I think instead of America trying to export their brand of democracy they should fix it at home.
I. LOVE. THIS. WOMAN!!!!! YES YES YES!!!! Everything she said! I've been saying this FOR Weeks-how much power do people think the vice president has?? Loved to listen to this discussion!
Right. I heard Trumps daughter Ivanka doesn't want nothing to do with her dad and brothers now. But if that's true then she should tell us all on TV and say she will not vote for him. But it's hard to believe her cause she might be just saying that so she and her husband Jared Kushner aren't investigated more.

No one is claiming they don't have problems. However, many studies over decades have shown that immigrants, legal or illegal, commit crimes at a lower rate than natural born citizens.
The frustrating thing for me is a country like USA allowing a Criminal, an Insurrectionist, and a 34-count Convicted Felon to be eligible to run for POTUS office. What is wrong with country USA?
As a norwegian I can tell you that none of us are. One needs to read a busload of American history, social studies, about their overall education level for normal working citizents, a LOT of geo-politics, world history - and so much more. I don't think the average working people in the USA have the time or the stamina to do so. But for any leader, it is NO EXCUSE not to do so, as they have every opportunity to learn about - and know the difference - between Marxism/Communism/Socialism. And when leaders can't tell the differences, how could the ordinary people -? I'm switching between feeling sad for the people, and being angry as hell with both them and their leaders. In this day and age everybody has an opportunity to know a lot about the social and economic structures humanity finds themselves in.
The republican party creates its own rules as to who gets on their ballot. And there are no state or federal laws that apply. Because the constitution left the process up to the parties. Meaning the republicans could just kick him, because they don't like him. The parties don't even have to nominate for president, the popular candidate from their primary. Historically the parties didn't nominate the popular vote primary winner. So the problem, is the people in the party, people who call themselves republicans. They want, a Criminal, an Insurrectionist, and a 34-count Convicted Felon. Not the country.

Amen mama Amen so true to that trump has to go and go now his done hurt to many people and to many people have lost their lives because of trump trump is just one big ball of hate trump has a very black soul and so cold hearted trump is the Antichrist that's why he's so evil trump sold his soul to the devil and his daddy did to America please pray for America and the America people trump will never see his self back into the white house again because God will not let him vote blue all the way 🎉😂😂❤❤
@@patriotvol8947 that would be you who's not paying attention to the violent and fascist rhetoric and bald-faced lies coming from every corner of the GOP.
I think it was pretty obvious from his debate with Hillary that Trump had no idea how the government works. And from the people who surrounded him for 4 years, they all admit he had no idea what he was doing.
Exactly and that's why he lost. Pity his "electors" from the EC installed him anyway. We'd be living in a much different world today if the will of the people decided.
@@vanessawortham3002 Yeah my mom voted Biden and says she’ll vote Harris, but she still says she couldn’t vote Hillary. It is sad. She would’ve been great.
Wow, Politicsgirl really appears as someone who is wholeheartedly concerned about the future of this country! Thank you for being so outspoken in uncertain times.
Keep up the momentum folks! we're close to the finish line. Vote blue! Harris/Walz 2024. Most importantly, keep your eye on the ball and never get complacent.
@@W.J.M. that would be you who's not paying attention to the violent and fascist rhetoric and bald-faced lies coming from every corner of the GOP. Trump wields enormous power and influence over the un-American and spineless sitting GOP members of Congress. He speaks they, salivating, hop-to and obey.
@@W.J.M.It was an appropriations bill more than a policy bill, and it had funding for a lot of important things needed at the border such as additional wall, more detention facilities, more frequent deportation flights, surveillance equipment, fentanyl detection, additional staff.
I love Leigh McGowan! Thank you both for all the hard work you do to shine a light on democracy and keep the American voters informed. Love you Brian, love your show! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
GREAT interview! I was so moved that I stood up in my office and gave this woman a STANDING ovation. She’s just gained a NEW fan, and I'm off to buy her book right now!
I pray people listen to her. She is absolutly correct. Thank you Brian Tyler Cohen to have people like her on your show. Praying people watch your show.
@@anthonysokolsky6210 so, what is not BS? people eating cats? grabing women by the p..y? transgender ops in schools ? man, i really dont understand how a sane person can vote for trump, dont want to vote for Harris, fine, but man, why to vote for trump? the guy is clearly a clown and a crook!
We Will Vote. But Remember The Republicans Are Already trying to Sabotage the Election. Trump and his Investors have Billions and maybe Trillions to loose if he is not Elected😡😤. These are Babie, holding 4 years of Anger in them. It is so Sad.
if you do vote for her, that will be the first vote she has received. No primary in 2020, none in 2024, "placed" in the race as the new left wing puppet. So obvious!
Brian you conducted a great interview by allowing Leigh McGowan to speak freely. Congratulations to both of you and thank you to both of your continued dedication and hard work.
He also had Control of both houses when he was president and did nothing. Republicans don't want to stop illegal immigration in order to blame Democrats 🙄
Thank you, thank you for this conversation. Leigh you have just lifted my depression a little bit and I hope you join Kamala when she becomes president. You are giving me a little hope and I will read and share your book. We have so little time. YES, it’s these kinds of conversations that need amplifying. That Trump killed the border bill, you are right, shows us exactly who he is. THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR ENERGY, FOR CARING ABOUT OUR COUNTRY, FOR EDUCATING US ON THE ISSUES IN SUCH CLEAR AND POSITIVE TERMS. It’s unbelievable Donald Trump is on the ballot to be the leader of the free world when we know who he is and what he wants. We, sane people have a lot of work ahead of us. We can do it, and I will keep hoping we have a woman president who is smart, rational, caring, and open minded. She and Tim are a great team. Let’s win this election.💙👏🙏🏻🌅💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏🏻
I agree with her 1000 percent! School boards need to stop worrying about baning books and teach about our government, local and federal, people don't know what they don't know and thats why people fell for the BS about stolen education.
I was lucky. We were taught not to talk politics at parties, etc., but we talked about it at home, and debated policy at school in Forensics, along with having a government class. It seems like younger generations, and/or other states might not have had that exposure.
Just discovered her a few days ago and she is awesome! No nonsense, telling it like it is and with passion and conviction. Definitely need more people like her! 💙
This video need to be shared a million times! This lady talks so much sense most don't even know of!, it's extremely important for American political system! It ll help!❤😊
Yes, Leigh McGowan is REALLY GOOD in this interview. All trumpers should listen to her and of course not T3, Trash-Talking-Trump, as we don't want to get any better because T3 is unfixable and he would just turn things around again to work things in his favor instead of doing something for the country. -- Leigh really has things so well in her head and she's so authentic in her attitude and understanding of the facts. -- I liked the moment when she said to Brian T. Cohen at the beginning of the video @0:10 : "Right, thank YOU for taking the time" :) where she is up front and addresses the facts in the background (taking the time to think about bringing in Leigh McGowan).
It is wonderful to listen to two principled knowledgeable and dedicated True Believers in America! Lee is right! We need more people like you both, but we benefit so much from both of you!
Chaos? You sure got that wrong! Unless you're referring back to the chaos under the trump administration, interrupted by the orderly progress under Biden!. To prevent chaos, vote Harris!
@@MaileAnthopoulos The last 4 years haven't been chaos. The 4 before that under trump sure were! If I misinterpreted, please, set me straight. I think YOU'RE the one that either misinterpreted, or you agree with the nonsense, & are trying to defend it!
One of the most ridiculous things I hear people say is “close the border.” They’re clueless how the border actually works. You don’t just “close” it. It’s open land.
One thing I did not hear Kamala say how many people were in Government. 😊There are so many people working in the West wing .They are an amazing combination of people who work very hard for the President.!! We know who is in Congress, and the Senate. If you do not know you fail a Civics examination . This Woman is good but she is selling a book 📖..
“When you find Bernie Sanders and Dick Cheney on the same team, you know the other team has lost it” This really made me sit up and take a moment of pause. This has been one of the best interviews Brian has posted. Thank you so much Brian. Thank you so much Leigh.
Great to see you both together ! Leigh is a rockstar ! So glad to have women like her talking about and fighting for our democracy. She is brilliant !🙏🏻💙
Trump had a chance in 2016 as President and that was a complete and utter disaster. Enough already. We’re done with him and his divisiveness, hatred, misogyny, racism, and incompetence in every arena. Vote Harris/Walz 2024. 💙🌊🇺🇸
Trump was weird from the very beginning when he started stalking Hillery Clinton on stage in a 2016 debate. This man has no upbringing & refinement. He hasn't got the skill & talent to be a leader. A prison cell is where he belongs
We’re dividing ourselves, causing hatred and everything else. We are supposed to be a free society that is by the people and for the people. We aren’t doing that. We do need trustworthy leaders, but they can’t do everything. We have to be responsible and helpful citizens.
@@lindseysanders3656 Liberalism is the definition of hypocrisy; it is intolerant and can be violent when it doesn't get its way, it is the opposite of democracy, it wants to control every facet of your life, it's people who are miserable in their own lives, so they want to invite the rest of us to the "unhappy hour". it is people who will vote against their own self-interest and country because it makes them "feel good" They are phony social justice warriors who at most of the time can't explain what they are fighting for, who and why they support what they do. It has no common sense, its burns like a vampire in the sun when it is faced with hard facts, it is anti-American and will eventually bring down the country if it gets its way. It is, in its extreme form absolute mental illness.
Don’t know any country other than the democratic party laughing at trump. In fact other countries are vouching for him to become president Go back to the basement bob🤡🤮🙄🤦♂️
Brian , I forgot to tell you. Both my husband and I finished reading your book a couple of weeks ago. We found it so informative, it confirmed my belief that republicans can’t run an election without resorting to questionable tactics . And I am being generous to them by saying that. Your book is now on its way to my brother in law who has been sitting on the fence . Thank you
Here I am, sitting in Norway - wondering....they are more than 300 million people over there.Yet Donald Trump is a candidate for the most powerful position in the world. It's scary!
Brian, your guest made more sense in the shortest time with the most concise message that I’ve ever heard and I want to thank her personally. Pls bring her back !
Thank you so much for this interview! I had heard the name PoliticsGirl, but was not familiar with Leigh's work. Hearing her express such sane, commonsense paths to "fixing" our dysfunctional government was exhilarating and gave me hope. I now have 2 great books on my list for winter reading. The dilemma seems the same for religion and democracy; evolve or die. I grew up in Washington D.C. going to church each week. During my lifetime, I have watched both dissolve into chaos. Thank you for presenting solutions.
Wow, I started looking at Politics Girl the first day she started ( I am a 68 year old white Australian male) She still impresses me more than most others. Well done Leigh, the world appreciates you.
And take away his secret service protection because he is a convicted felon and we shouldn’t have to pay for that from our tax dollars VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Is it fair to consider the possibility that it isn't so much "this man's power" as it is the myriad of powers behind the puppet? Coupled, of course, with the greed of many in the GOP who care only for themselves and nothing for others, the country or future.
OMG WOW She talks so much sense. I am from the UK and watching America moving ever closer to a fascist government is scary. I so hope people wake up to the craziness of Donald Trump and hold on to their democracy.
He is an international desaster😊😅 And talking about Trump, Trump, Trump is very boring now! Go ahead america, throw him in prison or loony bin and go ahead! Please!
Thankyou for Having Leigh on!! She presents the Facts and importantly the Paths that needs Actions in ways we can Understand! To any Voter's, besides OUR VOTE, we need a Check Off List, Tool Kit to present to our local politicians WHAT WE NEED TO SEE IN PLACE TO MAKE OUR GOVERNMENT THE PEOPLE'S GOVERNMENT "NOT BIG MONEY or THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION "!

then you're not paying attention.....spoken in love
Amen mama Amen so true to that trump has to go and go now his done hurt to many people and to many people have lost their lives because of trump trump is just one big ball of hate trump has a very black soul and so cold hearted trump is the Antichrist that's why he's so evil trump sold his soul to the devil and his daddy did to America please pray for America and the America people trump will never see his self back into the white house again because God will not let him vote blue all the way 🎉😂😂❤❤
@@patriotvol8947 that would be you who's not paying attention to the violent and fascist rhetoric and bald-faced lies coming from every corner of the GOP.
You must be one of those real Christians...just like my bestfriend. Decent, kind and not a sucker for BS..
We Baby Boomers Are Not Going Back !! 🔵💙 Blue Dot Love.. November 5, 2025
Trump should be asked what HE did in 4 years for the border. Leigh is always interesting to listen to, as is Brian.
I wish she would have said to him, "You were in office four years, why didn't YOU fix it....but trump did it in his closing statement, deliberately
He'll tell you he told Brandon to shut it down and he did. Not true.😢
He separated children from their families an locked them in cages. 😢
@@eldonerc2524 That was Obama, you are misinformed, but you don't care.
He closed it, and you had the lowest illegal immigration of all recent admins. What more could he have done?
I can’t express how much I appreciate your reporting and discussions. I can’t wait to see you have a more widespread platform. Thank you.
I think it was pretty obvious from his debate with Hillary that Trump had no idea how the government works. And from the people who surrounded him for 4 years, they all admit he had no idea what he was doing.
Exactly and that's why he lost. Pity his "electors" from the EC installed him anyway. We'd be living in a much different world today if the will of the people decided.
Yup, but some of those who knew how govt works def took advantage of him. Miller, Bannon, etc knew what they were doing.
It's SAD that people don't listen to HILLARY. They don't want to ADMIT HILLARY was Right PERIOD.
And he knows no more today about the job except how he can enrich himself, inflate his ego and implement dangerous policies.
@@vanessawortham3002
Yeah my mom voted Biden and says she’ll vote Harris, but she still says she couldn’t vote Hillary. It is sad. She would’ve been great.
Wow, Politicsgirl really appears as someone who is wholeheartedly concerned about the future of this country! Thank you for being so outspoken in uncertain times.
Wow! Canadian here! This guest gave me the same wow feeling as the first time I heard Walz speak. Go go go Ms McGowan!!!!
Her Politics Girl videos are good too. You should check them out.
Policy girl you are so brilliant and so spot on. Our country needs you. Will you run, please, pretty please?
Keep up the momentum folks! we're close to the finish line. Vote blue! Harris/Walz 2024. Most importantly, keep your eye on the ball and never get complacent.
Hearing her speak is honestly so inspiring
The Voices of Reason! Thank You Both for all your Efforts to Educate & Save our Democracy...!!!!!
I appreciate y'all so I can get more knowledge about our Congress 💙💙🙏🏾🙏🏾
“Trump Blocked The Border Bill”
Should be plastered on every billboard in every battleground & border state.
"a man that isn't in office is getting blamed for bad policy not being passed, which isn't possible" is the real title.
@@W.J.M. R-i-g-h-t like he didn't gather his maga House studges and tell them not to pass it because it would make Biden look good in the election.
@@W.J.M. that would be you who's not paying attention to the violent and fascist rhetoric and bald-faced lies coming from every corner of the GOP.
Trump wields enormous power and influence over the un-American and spineless sitting GOP members of Congress. He speaks they, salivating, hop-to and obey.
@@W.J.M.It was an appropriations bill more than a policy bill, and it had funding for a lot of important things needed at the border such as additional wall, more detention facilities, more frequent deportation flights, surveillance equipment, fentanyl detection, additional staff.
Kamala use this on billboards
I love Leigh McGowan! Thank you both for all the hard work you do to shine a light on democracy and keep the American voters informed. Love you Brian, love your show! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
!!!!!!!!!!!! Incredibly Informative!!!
GREAT interview! I was so moved that I stood up in my office and gave this woman a STANDING ovation. She’s just gained a NEW fan, and I'm off to buy her book right now!
Her podcast is great as well. Politics Girl
You two are the best of us ❤
I pray people listen to her. She is absolutly correct. Thank you Brian Tyler Cohen to have people like her on your show. Praying people watch your show.
You mean people 'Paying" to watch his show.
She has a podcast called Politics Girl, if you’re interested.
@@jarvsieI’m not paying to watch this!
@@jarvsieit doesn’t look like you’re paying to watch it.
@@kathiestickel9247 Why would I pay a money grubbing propagandist ?
Take it to the ballot box. VOTE BLUE! 💙 VOTE KAMALA HARRIS 2024!💙💙💙
BS!
@@anthonysokolsky6210 so, what is not BS? people eating cats? grabing women by the p..y? transgender ops in schools ? man, i really dont understand how a sane person can vote for trump, dont want to vote for Harris, fine, but man, why to vote for trump? the guy is clearly a clown and a crook!
We Will Vote. But Remember The Republicans Are Already trying to Sabotage the Election. Trump and his Investors have Billions and maybe Trillions to loose if he is not Elected😡😤. These are Babie, holding 4 years of Anger in them. It is so Sad.
if you do vote for her, that will be the first vote she has received. No primary in 2020, none in 2024, "placed" in the race as the new left wing puppet. So obvious!
💙💙💙💯🌊🌊🌊
Such an AWESOME SESSION!! It's one of your BEST PODCAST!!
🙏💙🇺🇸💙🙏
THANK YOU LEIGH AND BTC!!!!
The civic ignorance in the States is OMG.
If Donald Trump were to play dodge ball with grade school kids, he would say, "They're picking on me." Donald Trump is such a wuss. Vote Blue.
He's a disaster,
😂 Sadly funny and so true!
We must recognize he's a "Whiner"
"Nothing More!" 😊
@@carlol4649 As Mom would say , stop whining before I give you something to really whine about.
Bravo, Leigh McGowan!
Love listening to Leigh and yes, we need 1000s if not millions as passionate as her. And yes, I am fighting like hell to protect this country
Brian you conducted a great interview by allowing Leigh McGowan to speak freely. Congratulations to both of you and thank you to both of your continued dedication and hard work.
He's only in it for the money.
@@jarvsieIf that was the case he'd be a right-winger so he could get that Russian money
@@jarvsieGFYS
Is there any part of the human anatomy you won't lick?
@@believewhatyousee2852 Very witty. you have such a towering intellect.
💕 Ms Leigh and BTC, if Donald Trump cannot protect himself at his golf corses, how is he going to protect the border! Serial liar. Vote blue 2024 💙 🇺🇸
I am pro Harris but I don't think that's a reasonable parallel.
Another well spoken woman!
Thank you! Great information 💕
Both of you are the epitome of knowledge, fluidity, integrity, eloquence, smartness!Brian and Leigh thank you🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙🌹🌹🌹👍🙌👍🙌👍🙌👍
4:42 Exactly!!! It boils my blood to hear Trump complain about the border after refusing to support a bill to help fix it.
We already knew he was going to run on that when he said kill the bill to help with the border.
They openly said that he wanted to run on that.
He also had Control of both houses when he was president and did nothing. Republicans don't want to stop illegal immigration in order to blame Democrats 🙄
I agree. So angry😡
and he keeps on lieing amazing someone who can reach alot of people and is allowed to spew blatant lies.. only in American
That alone should disqualify him
Harris/Walz for president 2024.
BS!
@@anthonysokolsky6210May as we get some practice in!
C'mon Tony!...say it with me one time, "Madame President" 😉
@@seanbain9086 BS+BS=BS!
You are so right. Thank you for a wonderful commentary.
Leigh is fantastic! She is wicked smart and everyone needs to read her book and listen to her daily. Thank you Brian, for having her on your show.
I love Leigh! Let's keep fighting and speaking out against the Trump Insurgency and stupidity!
Thank you, thank you for this conversation. Leigh you have just lifted my depression a little bit and I hope you join Kamala when she becomes president. You are giving me a little hope and I will read and share your book. We have so little time. YES, it’s these kinds of conversations that need amplifying. That Trump killed the border bill, you are right, shows us exactly who he is. THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR ENERGY, FOR CARING ABOUT OUR COUNTRY, FOR EDUCATING US ON THE ISSUES IN SUCH CLEAR AND POSITIVE TERMS. It’s unbelievable Donald Trump is on the ballot to be the leader of the free world when we know who he is and what he wants. We, sane people have a lot of work ahead of us. We can do it, and I will keep hoping we have a woman president who is smart, rational, caring, and open minded. She and Tim are a great team. Let’s win this election.💙👏🙏🏻🌅💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏🏻
Thank you both so very much!!
I agree with her 1000 percent! School boards need to stop worrying about baning books and teach about our government, local and federal, people don't know what they don't know and thats why people fell for the BS about stolen education.
Republicans KNOW that they can't win on a level playing field!
I was lucky. We were taught not to talk politics at parties, etc., but we talked about it at home, and debated policy at school in Forensics, along with having a government class. It seems like younger generations, and/or other states might not have had that exposure.
Just discovered her a few days ago and she is awesome! No nonsense, telling it like it is and with passion and conviction. Definitely need more people like her! 💙
This video need to be shared a million times! This lady talks so much sense most don't even know of!, it's extremely important for American political system! It ll help!❤😊
Yes, Leigh McGowan is REALLY GOOD in this interview. All trumpers should listen to her and of course not T3, Trash-Talking-Trump, as we don't want to get any better because T3 is unfixable and he would just turn things around again to work things in his favor instead of doing something for the country. -- Leigh really has things so well in her head and she's so authentic in her attitude and understanding of the facts. -- I liked the moment when she said to Brian T. Cohen at the beginning of the video @0:10 : "Right, thank YOU for taking the time" :) where she is up front and addresses the facts in the background (taking the time to think about bringing in Leigh McGowan).
It is wonderful to listen to two principled knowledgeable and dedicated True Believers in America! Lee is right! We need more people like you both, but we benefit so much from both of you!
80 million didnt vote last time. Imagine if 10 or 20 % of these people would vote. Come on people. Please no 4 more years of chaos....
I'm afraid the non voters (apparently not interested in politics and their surroundings) sooner lean towards the moronic and gullible abject
Chaos? You sure got that wrong! Unless you're referring back to the chaos under the trump administration, interrupted by the orderly progress under Biden!. To prevent chaos, vote Harris!
@@JamesMiller-fx5yiI think you misinterpreted his comments
@@MaileAnthopoulos The last 4 years haven't been chaos. The 4 before that under trump sure were! If I misinterpreted, please, set me straight. I think YOU'RE the one that either misinterpreted, or you agree with the nonsense, & are trying to defend it!
@@JamesMiller-fx5yi brain washed sheeple
One of the most ridiculous things I hear people say is “close the border.” They’re clueless how the border actually works. You don’t just “close” it. It’s open land.
Exceptional to see both of you in this important conversation. Thank you for educating me about politics and making it less obscure. 💗
Exactly no idea of protocols and government policies. WOW SHE IS TELLING REAL TRUTHS.
SOOOOO HAPPY TO HEAR THE TRUTH BEING UNDERSTOOD AND TOLD!
One thing I did not hear Kamala say how many people were in Government. 😊There are so many people working in the West wing .They are an amazing combination of people who work very hard for the President.!! We know who is in Congress, and the Senate. If you do not know you fail a Civics examination . This Woman is good but she is selling a book 📖..
She's great! Glad you had her on your podcast. Thank you
She is great so informative. THANK YOU.
“When you find Bernie Sanders and Dick Cheney on the same team, you know the other team has lost it” This really made me sit up and take a moment of pause. This has been one of the best interviews Brian has posted. Thank you so much Brian. Thank you so much Leigh.
I agree that we need more House Members representing us. The Green Party has been talking about this for years. It is a good idea.
Every vote counts. Let's all vote for the constitution, truth, democracy and freedoms for all. Vote Harris 2024. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Trump says he “loves the uneducated” because they make him look “educated”. Those of us who recognize his profound ignorance, pity the fool.
I wonder why he wants to de-fund your education system.
There’s just as many stupid people in our liberal camp as there are in the MAGA camp.
I don't pity him one bit.
Ignorant and stupid.
I love the reference! That was Mohammed Ali right?
Fantastic conversation!! Thank you, Brian and Leigh!! 💙💙💙
Brian, you are the best interviewer ever. Wow. Give space. Ask the great questions. Wow. Excellent. Late night TV could learn much from you.
Yeah Leigh! Clear, concise, & important. Great talk.
Great to see you both together ! Leigh is a rockstar ! So glad to have women like her talking about and fighting for our democracy. She is brilliant !🙏🏻💙
Enjoyed listening to Leigh❗❗ Thx, Brian
Yay - Just purchased her book - awesome you both are a breath a fresh air to our future and democracy!!! 🦋💞🦋
Trump had a chance in 2016 as President and that was a complete and utter disaster. Enough already. We’re done with him and his divisiveness, hatred, misogyny, racism, and incompetence in every arena. Vote Harris/Walz 2024. 💙🌊🇺🇸
💙💙💙💙💙
🗽🇺🇸🌊🔵💙🔵💙🔵💙🔵💙🔵🦋
Trump was weird from the very beginning when he started stalking Hillery Clinton on stage in a 2016 debate. This man has no upbringing & refinement. He hasn't got the skill & talent to be a leader. A prison cell is where he belongs
We’re dividing ourselves, causing hatred and everything else. We are supposed to be a free society that is by the people and for the people. We aren’t doing that. We do need trustworthy leaders, but they can’t do everything. We have to be responsible and helpful citizens.
@@lindseysanders3656 Liberalism is the definition of hypocrisy; it is intolerant and can be violent when it doesn't get its way, it is the opposite of democracy, it wants to control every facet of your life, it's people who are miserable in their own lives, so they want to invite the rest of us to the "unhappy hour". it is people who will vote against their own self-interest and country because it makes them "feel good" They are phony social justice warriors who at most of the time can't explain what they are fighting for, who and why they support what they do. It has no common sense, its burns like a vampire in the sun when it is faced with hard facts, it is anti-American and will eventually bring down the country if it gets its way. It is, in its extreme form absolute mental illness.
The MORE we see of Donald Trump, the MORE we realize how UNFIT he is to be president.
Sadly, there were decades of MORE before he first ran* for office, and yet...
* (not literally, of course - ha)
Funny, most people think the same about Kamala...
@@vienna77only the trumpy cult members think that and they are the least qualified in thinking.
We’ve seen him about 400M times… have we seen enough yet?
As a person in general
America, I mean… THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE was laughing at Trump. 😂
I'm a Martian and I approve this message 👽Earth people please also stop crazy Elon Musk from coming to colonizing our planet!
Those of us with brains are laughing at the masses without brains. But we also cry because they ruin the fun for everyone.
We know. 😅😅😅😅😅
You don’t want to know what the Zargon Sector had to say about the debate. Zargonians for Harris/Walz!
Don’t know any country other than the democratic party laughing at trump.
In fact other countries are vouching for him to become president
Go back to the basement bob🤡🤮🙄🤦♂️
Brian , I forgot to tell you. Both my husband and I finished reading your book a couple of weeks ago. We found it so informative, it confirmed my belief that republicans can’t run an election without resorting to questionable tactics . And I am being generous to them by saying that. Your book is now on its way to my brother in law who has been sitting on the fence . Thank you
Here I am, sitting in Norway - wondering....they are more than 300 million people over there.Yet Donald Trump is a candidate for the most powerful position in the world. It's scary!
America's politics has always been the world's entertainment!! Never a disappointment *giggles*
Absolutely
Absolutely
Absolutely
I agree totally ..... after January 6th ?
Brian, your guest made more sense in the shortest time with the most concise message that I’ve ever heard and I want to thank her personally. Pls bring her back !
Thank you so much for this interview! I had heard the name PoliticsGirl, but was not familiar with Leigh's work. Hearing her express such sane, commonsense paths to "fixing" our dysfunctional government was exhilarating and gave me hope. I now have 2 great books on my list for winter reading. The dilemma seems the same for religion and democracy; evolve or die. I grew up in Washington D.C. going to church each week. During my lifetime, I have watched both dissolve into chaos. Thank you for presenting solutions.
Wow, I started looking at Politics Girl the first day she started ( I am a 68 year old white Australian male) She still impresses me more than most others. Well done Leigh, the world appreciates you.
I applaud you both. 👏🏼 Well done! 💙
My wife and I just started watching Leigh on RUclips a few days ago. Leigh you are awesome!!!!
On Nov. 6, 2024 after the election. I want to see Trump in hand cuffs. No longer an excuse to treat him like a VIP.
As a Very Important Prisoner, he will probably still get a cushy cell in a low max prison - but at least he will be behind bars 🙏
❤❤❤
And take away his secret service protection because he is a convicted felon and we shouldn’t have to pay for that from our tax dollars VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Excellent
Even after 9 years of this idiot, I am still blown away at this man’s power over the GOP. WHEN WILL IT STOP???? Vote blue 💙💙💙💙💙
It will stop in November when Trump loses by a landslide and the cult dissolves.
his head is so far up his ASS he does not see anything around him but people eating dogs and cats, how disgusting, VOTE BLUE.💙💙💙🐬🐬🐬🌊🌊🌊.
Is it fair to consider the possibility that it isn't so much "this man's power" as it is the myriad of powers behind the puppet? Coupled, of course, with the greed of many in the GOP who care only for themselves and nothing for others, the country or future.
power over the GOP, the SCOTUS, Fox and majority of medias and 41 M of minions in his MAGA cult
The GOP is non existent. Trump sabotaged whatever decency was left in it. 😮
Thank you both 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
OMG WOW She talks so much sense. I am from the UK and watching America moving ever closer to a fascist government is scary. I so hope people wake up to the craziness of Donald Trump and hold on to their democracy.
I don’t understand how he is still on the ballot for president.
If Harris is elected, it will be just like your Democracy in England under Starmer.
💙 this! Thank yall!!
Great conversation! Leigh McGowan is so well spoken and so easy to listen to.
❤ Yes! Thank you Brian and Politics Girl!
Keep being awesome 😎

Thankyou for Having Leigh on!! She presents the Facts and importantly the Paths that needs Actions in ways we can Understand!
