There's great value in uploading these episodes for free to us many years later. Thanks for doing so!
It feels weird knowing what happens while listening to fears of the future. It feels like rereading a book and seeing the foreshadowing I missed the first go around... 😢
Well, on the downside, we can fell that fear again right now.
To be fair, absolutely no one missed the foreshadowing about Trump.
Is anyone else seeing Biden in this old clip with shock? Like it’s hard to remember that he used to have that kind of energy?
Yeah save the "John aged rapidly" jokes for that guy. What the hell happened there?
@@Onigirli The last 8 years happened...
Frankly 2016 was the last year where they should have endorsed Biden. Look back at his career and you just can't recognize the guy elected in 2020....
Feels illegal to be this early. Especially when Im 8 years late.
If only we could have that Biden again...
Christ that Mount Rushmore joke really aged well
The first piece would still fit perfectly with his episode on voter suppression. It’s chilling
You have got to make a new episode dedicated to Turkey and Erdoğan, just like the one you did for Berdimohammedov of Turkmenistan. Turkey has been on a freefall ever since 2016, a good cautionary tale of a once a “democracy with problems” is now a full fledged totalitarian regime.
It's crazy that two incredibly disliked candidates can be so close in polls, John.
Luckily, we've moved past that haven't we.
Haha.
Ha.
Ha.
I appreciate how you & I partaking in this marathon simultaneously
"democracy being shot" you jinxed it lol
He DEFINITELY jinxed it
"comparing him to a medieval cult of assassins" likely means they are comparing him to the literal first Order of Assassins, from which the word gets its name. They were an Ismaili esoteric Islamic group who fought against Turkish rule, and Gulen is an esoteric Islamic preacher who similarly (according to Erdogan) fights against Turkish rule
This episode should be mandatory viewing before this year's election. Yes, it's eight years old, but it is 100% relevant to what's happening now. Failure to learn from history means we're doomed to repeat it. This is terrifying.
Not just this one, they whole campaign coverage should be on live TV for the folks about to vote to see.
@@delwysglokpor3362 I agree completely! I'm working my way chronologically through Season 3, and the similarities between 2016 and 2024 are unbelievable.
Time is circular, not linear.
You already said that 😉
I made a playlist in the correct order...

Thanks bro!
didnt do enough to stop what's coming, john. I'm sorry. I'm scared.

I got to meet Khizrt Khan later that year. I hope he and his family are doing well, especially in light of this campaign season.
As a former Baltimore resident, I miss Senator Mikulski.
--> That description of Tim Kaine was perfect!
We were so innocent then. Sad
No John. You're wrong. That horse is glue now.
Oh boy, less than a minute in and I'm already reminded of the year of horrors that was 2016... was reminiscing recently with a friend that I realized that was the year that really everything started feeling shittier. Not just in the world, also in my personal life. Crazy how impactful certain aspects of the world can be. Hope you Americans don't vote for the orange horror again this year... would be great if things could slowly start getting better again.
I remember when state disenfranchisement of voters, especially by race, was uncommon
what are you talking about? it’s always been extremely common-Black people weren’t allowed to vote literally at all for over a century, and once they were legally given the right, basically every state fought it with everything they had.
Hey, how ya doin' 2016, its 2024, and uh, look, we're sorry, so sorry, just, sigh, sorry
When he says, "the RNC taught us...", I heard "the RNC tortoise", and I thought I'd missed a bit about Mitch McConnell.
Why did the map at 8:12 have Pennsylvania labeled as Philadelphia 😂
I am just glad that Trump as a convicted felon is no longer allowed in Canada. Thank you.
Give the supreme court a couple of weeks, and they will have upturned that as well.
First appearance of Jacked Up Joe.😅
8 years is a short time once you cross 70. It can go downhill fast
26:35 that “fucking” came from his *soul*
John Allen needed a gig with WWE. That's some serious mic work!
The way these clips are ordered gives me a slight headache (likely from having uploaded them separately and then published all at once).
They should be published one after the other, even if it's just a few seconds between making each video public
First world problems. Maybe spend less time on UA-cam
By the looks of it, things are not getting better or worse in the United State
Ya know that water jetpack guy kinda looks like Kaine
Complete case histories should weigh on the matter, also is it reversible science
What are Macaroni And Cheese issues?!😮
Damn that clip of biden..
That was a shock to be reminded of after this debate
29:23 Rock on, humpty-dumpty guy!! itz hope time, itz healing time, itz Hillary time, itz hope time
I like the bit where Trump doesn't understand what a sacrifice is.
Each potential person it an asset and a liability perspective
How likely is it the person will seek assistance for example is an economic concern
Thanks John and crew!
*deletes a 5000 page essay comment about the issue with calling Turkey "diet Syria"*
It's fairly entertaining seeing both Trump and Biden before being president.
A two party system lead by the elderly, how is this still a thing?
"greatest country on earth" how delusional
Ha ha that is NOT the same Biden we saw at the debate the other night 😂😂😂
Where was that Joe Biden in the debate?
I'm rooting for Mother nature to win. People always disappoint and disgust.
Man, seeing how much better Biden looked 8 years ago is startling.
Wow, Biden has aged a lot in 8 years. I mean yeah, obviously. But 72 year-old Biden was still pretty fiery and vital, especially for someone who was 72. 80 year-old Biden is still quite impressive for someone who is 80. But “some who is 80” is doing a lot of work in that sentence. He’s still been an impressively successful president who has accomplished a lot under extremely challenging circumstances. But he should have stuck to his promise of being a caretaker for one term.
70 should be the cut off point for entering top level politics
@@martinjrgensen8234 I dunno, if we made rate cutoff 70 we would have lost Nancy Pelosi 14 years ago and there is no question she was highly effective well into her 70s and that Democrats would have lost an important and valuable fighter for their cause. Biden was quite effective in his first term. And anyway, term or age limits are clearly unconstitutional for elected federal representatives. Age isn’t really the problem. Age and narcissism are the problem, along with an unwillingness to use social sanction against older people who are occupying important positions and need to step aside to let younger people take over.
🇫🇮😟
In 2024 seeing Joe this coherent is staggering
i hope all of the Bernie supporters who were enraged when Hillary got the nomination are fucking happy now
Yup... I'll never forgive them 🤬
Why would they be? I don't have any statistics at hand, but I'm pretty sure most Bernie supporters ended up voting for her.
@@kierandouble6414 if that is in fact true, then i apologize for my erroneous implication
14:50 Aged poorly
Just like he (Biden) did!
@@MackRangerPower people want to live long lives
14:27 remember when Biden could actually public speak?
First
Yall, you know you can click a little box that says "notify subscribers of release" and not FLOOD our subscription box with old videos right? Im ALL for this, but i know its happening so i can choose to come and view videos when i like.
