Dictators arrest people arbitrarily, and just as Donald is NOT going to prison for his crimes, so innocent people will probably be thrown into prison for crimes they didn't commit. America still has some innocent people imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay prison where torture is used. Hope that busy people can find the time to get together in groups. Plan how to hide people who are being harassed. Update your passport and plan where you can escape to. The non-arrest of Trump shows how arbitrary and unjust the justice system is already.

@@tamaramousley8597why, he's already put out 2 reports in the last few mths. He's a loser he's had 4 famous cases and he's failed at them miserbly. NONE OF THESE CASES WERE EXSPECTED TO GET TO TRIAL.Garland and Wray used Jack to get the indictments because they new he has no moral compass so he would do anything to bring charges against Trump. Trump was suppose to get scared and cave, and agree to get out of the race. They didn't count on his determination and strength they brought more and more charges and went after his family, reputation, and stripped him of his life's work money and legacy they kept offering a way out, but he refused to give up. So Garland was stuck with Jack, he had Ben overturned by SCOTUS 9to0 in his another lawfare case against a governor. The court said he was over zealous and stretched the law beyond recognition then he was the lead against a senator and he lost that one senator and hid wife went back to congress and he was arrested again for bribary (can't remember his name) he was a dem and it was pretty recent. Anyway this time he couldn't get the cases to trial, and he's in was in trouble for some pretty serious misconduct in both trials. But he's long gone, left the country. So I doubt there's anything new in the report, but he could have said anything made up all lies. Who knows but I know he hates and is weirdly obsessed with Trump. I'd love to be a fly on his wall
IT would help, but his base doesn't read and has been told it is lies and believes them.. it is crazy how they want to rewrite the history we have lived or know about if we paid attion..
@@anotherneglectedhobby8386 not me, I feel she has been indoctrinated. I can already guess what she going to say, before I read any of her work.

Maga is no different.

The ladies are right, there is too much division within the Republicans for them to make much headway & I think that in 2 years there will be a great movements to end this stupidity & insanity!
It was not trump that did this; he is the useful idiot. The evangelicals have been working since Roe was instituted to get rid of it. They have wanted a Christian nation, a white nation. Then add businessmen whose only goal is lining their own pockets, and here we are. A lot of us have been warning about this since Regan sold the country to corporations. Slowly, the only metric became money, and again, here we are. Two powerful groups who have gotten into bed together, each with their own goals and all of it against the majority of citizens.
One man? 89 million voting-aged Americans did not vote in the last election. Americans are the most entitled people on earth. Ask not for whom the bell tolls.
Sorry for this, The Americans who voted for Trump have made their bed, All this has done from Canada's standpoint is started to take Canada and our good friends in the US down a road we may never recover. We will not survive 4 years of this and not have irreparable damage to our relationship. Still a friend of the US.

It actually gives me hope since 52% of those who don't watch anything voted for him. This is because they don't follow the news and have no idea why things are as they are. The reason i find that positive is they'll be harder to manipulate, and more apt to vote against the party of whoever is in the WH, if things go bad, and they're very likely to. *And I'd they're not bad, not that I want him rewarded or anything, then we won't be suffering then anyhow.

"The path is not set." Agreed! My personal well-being path is to stay away from mainstream media, and choose the sources to watch, and plug into activity that nurtures well being. It was tempting to shut it all off, but I am realizing, I personally can't do that. A lot of sadness, a lot of grief, a lot of anger surfaces and I work at also nurturing positive states. Thanks for this podcast!
@@caxsmith to each their own journey. I find her work very strong, as does my partner, and if her work doesn't resonate with you, I wish you good fortune in the perspective that supports your well being. Thanks for your opinion. Thanks for respecting my own.
@@caxsmith ditto. There is no path to correcting all this as long as elections can be bought, the media is for-profit and biased, and the middle class is being fleeced by the 1% through compressed tax rates. Citizens United must be overturned, the Fairness Doctrine reinstated, and progressive income taxes (pre-Reagan rates) put back in place. Now, think about that, and explain to me how those changes come about in anything close to a peaceful path, if at all.
Thank you for having this discussion with Heather Cox Richardson, which I found most informative and helpful. I have decided to be prepared to fight, but to wait to see what happens. So far I'm not panicking because that only causes more confusion. I believe Trump and his friends are trying to sew mass confusion and foment chaos in hopes of us burning out. Many of my ancestors fought to rid us of a monarchy, and quite a few of our wars, afterward. I can do no less than honor their courage and sacrifice in keeping to what we were founded on. Our Constitution is that foundation in writing.
Heather Cox Richardson 🙌🏼 what a BRILLIANT mind! Thank you for this refreshing outlook. This is so worthy of sharing with my middle of the road friends and family.
Take one or two days off every week, no news, no social media, go volunteer, go for a walk, read a book, remember why you care, practice empathy. Then come back at it refreshed and ready to fight again.
Thank you for an excellent interview Leigh and Heather! Do not disenfranchise women, POC or our LGBTQIA2S people. We are all human who deserve human rights!

Much love to you both for this much needed inspiration. 💙💙💙
When someone uses the word trump as the word trump 30:17 and not orange man's name, I get somewhat confused for a second and have to rethink what they just said. 😂
I really think we have to stop telling ourselves that Trump’s voters are turning on him. We’ve been saying this for years. They don’t. He gets more. Dig me out out of my hole when it’s over.
I think you're right. I was deluding myself for some time, thinking there was no way about half the electorate would be dumb enough to vote for someone as BAD as trump. No way! My eyes are opened. Sorry, but we have a bunch of dummies voting for a snake.
I won't do Twitter or truth social so appreciate hearing her take on this. There is a way to know how to resist and vote without looking at these things daily. I am 72, and as my sanity and peace matter to me, I avoid as much as I can.
The future isn't written until it becomes the past, but first it becomes our present reality. Thank you for reminding us that we still have agency over our present and therefore, how the future will be written. Love this! Love Leigh! Love Prof. Heather! Thank you!
Hi, I am an INDEPENDENT. I am seeing a lot of videos from the left that say MAGA is no longer supporting Trump and I think to myself……so what? He was already elected. He LITERALLY doesn’t need their support. He won the presidency, what does it matter if MAGA turns on him?
Because all the republicans in Washington follow him around like sheep and blindly support him because they are afraid of the base and getting primaried... but if he is truly losing the base, then that means he loses influence with republican representatives... and they have power. I am not convinced he is losing the base though. I have no trust in his base being that smart.
Here is why it matters. If his people start to see he is a fraud, they can turn on him. If his people turn on him, the house republicans could turn on him. If they turn on him, he won’t get much done. People may not think we decide how our country goes, but we do. From buying items and supporting the economy to sending our children to public schools creates the world we live in. What his base is doing has an effect on how the American people will live. What we will take and what we won’t.
Thanks for posting, hope. I read a thread of an 18 year old admitting to having made a mistake voting red all the way. Some posters were very unkind in response. We must welcome them. An 18 year old knows nothing other than this crazy.
@@marybrown7203 I’ve noticed a lot of videos from the left on UA-cam where they title it as Trump supporters regretting their vote, if you watch the videos it’s just people form the left saying that Trump supporting people regret their vote.

Hello Mrs. Richardson, this is by far the best of US originated content about Trump, MAGA, and "the" American voter I've listened to so far! Many, many thanks!!! Go on!
My friend turned me on to Heather Cox Richardson a few years ago and she's such a brilliant historian and speaks truth to us which we now know we've been fed a bunch of crap for years.
Heather Cox Richardson thank you for what you do - everyday I enjoy your 'teachings' - may you live long and prosper and hold the light high for us to be able to see the past in a new light
Unfortunately SO many people just see there is ZERO accountability for the rich & politicians & powerful criminals and as a result it’s disheartening to the extent that we give up because it seems futile.
Excellent conversation on what so many of us are facing. Thank you for the straightforward, honest, and mature exchange with Heather. It makes me believe we can be the good we want in the world.
Me too! I thought it was just for attention as “Look at me, I’m a great dad”, however seeing this toddler in adult situations such as sitting in meetings, attending a New Years Party at Mar a Lago, and being worn everywhere where no toddlers were present just looked so inappropriate. So this makes sense.

Even if they have to make it up as they go, at least holding an amnesty vote - an attempt to *get* 2/3 of both houses to vote in favour of Trump being re-qualified - would have raised the issue more in the public view.
America has always had a secret love affair with Fascism and here it is.

As Robert De Niro once famously said "F--- TRUMP!"
De Niro tried telling Americans back in the summer how bad Drumpf is. Majority of voters did not listen or believe him.
ANd I say 'F___Robert De Niro", I said once famously, today. Who gives a crap what any Hollywierd actor says, they need to do their acting job and stay out of the public with their politic crap, Niro is just another paid puppet for the Cabal who also Owns Hollywierd.

Oh he's said that more than once. It's a sentiment that's worth repeating.

@Anton-ji4td 77 MILLION ADULT VOTERS ARE LOOKING FOR SAFE AND SECURE BORDERS

Yeah man. Very.
@@Anton-ji4td He's trying to get a rise out of the population. He wants unrest. Just wondering how long it takes for us to give him what he wants.
Dictators arrest people arbitrarily, and just as Donald is NOT going to prison for his crimes, so innocent people will probably be thrown into prison for crimes they didn't commit. America still has some innocent people imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay prison where torture is used. Hope that busy people can find the time to get together in groups. Plan how to hide people who are being harassed. Update your passport and plan where you can escape to. The non-arrest of Trump shows how arbitrary and unjust the justice system is already.
I could listen to Heather all day long. Her snippets of our past history coupled with current events brings America to life.
Hi Politics Girl. I am a Brit and know that I am not insulated from what happens in America, and it's scary. The right is on the rise all over the world. But remember there are people all over the world that care about democracy and justice and we are on your side.
Thank you

Yes, we need the Jack Smith papers made public.
As if his supporters are smart enough to read them 🤣
@@DSCSF52 They will hear about the report whether they read it or not! Some who voted for Trump that aren’t MAGAs will have an eye opener.

@@tamaramousley8597why, he's already put out 2 reports in the last few mths. He's a loser he's had 4 famous cases and he's failed at them miserbly. NONE OF THESE CASES WERE EXSPECTED TO GET TO TRIAL.Garland and Wray used Jack to get the indictments because they new he has no moral compass so he would do anything to bring charges against Trump. Trump was suppose to get scared and cave, and agree to get out of the race. They didn't count on his determination and strength they brought more and more charges and went after his family, reputation, and stripped him of his life's work money and legacy they kept offering a way out, but he refused to give up. So Garland was stuck with Jack, he had Ben overturned by SCOTUS 9to0 in his another lawfare case against a governor. The court said he was over zealous and stretched the law beyond recognition then he was the lead against a senator and he lost that one senator and hid wife went back to congress and he was arrested again for bribary (can't remember his name) he was a dem and it was pretty recent. Anyway this time he couldn't get the cases to trial, and he's in was in trouble for some pretty serious misconduct in both trials. But he's long gone, left the country. So I doubt there's anything new in the report, but he could have said anything made up all lies. Who knows but I know he hates and is weirdly obsessed with Trump. I'd love to be a fly on his wall
IT would help, but his base doesn't read and has been told it is lies and believes them.. it is crazy how they want to rewrite the history we have lived or know about if we paid attion..
Heather Cox Richardson is a gem!
Such a great interview! Heather Cox Richardson is so intelligent but makes these subject matters so accessible.
Heather Cox Richardson is a national treasure and I read her every day to make sense of what is going on.
I never miss one of her newsletters.
I agree!
@@anotherneglectedhobby8386 not me, I feel she has been indoctrinated. I can already guess what she going to say, before I read any of her work. For one she is wrong on this, Trump has had everything thrown at him, his supporters aren’t going to abandon him over this. Biden did nothing for 4 years and didn’t lose supporters. Maga is no different.
First thing upon waking. Can’t miss a day. Highly recommend!
Same! I have no idea how she keeps sane with everything she’s tracking
Dear Heather C Richardson....you are absolutely right for reminding us of the unexpected twists and turns of fate!
I cannot and will not live in a country where someone like Donald Trump is president. It disgusts me. He is unfit for office, any office.
Moving?
Thanks for strongly suggesting we not follow every twist and turn. Because, I might go mad if I don’t back off a bit!
omg, I relate to that!
Absolutely take media breaks. It helps
Right --- but I find jotting stuff down, just short sentences with a date, in a notebook ---- grounds the craziness and impedes the overwhelm, confusion, dizziness and ultimate amnesia, - purposely promoted by constantly shooting us in the face with the firehose of Lies and outrages.
You have to ignore the majority of his crap! Panama, Greenland & Canada yesterday, who knows what's coming today! The guy is nuts & thrives off of chaos & fear mongering is the name of his game, so let's ignore it & not buy into it! The ladies are right, there is too much division within the Republicans for them to make much headway & I think that in 2 years there will be a great movements to end this stupidity & insanity!

I have been enjoying learning from Heather Cox Richardson!!
Its just amazing how one man can turn America 🇺🇸 into chaos and confusion 🙇♂️🎉
Not just America, the world!
It's been 10 years. That's about how long it took Hitler. Sadly, there are young people voting today who only know the crazy idiot.
It was not trump that did this; he is the useful idiot. The evangelicals have been working since Roe was instituted to get rid of it. They have wanted a Christian nation, a white nation. Then add businessmen whose only goal is lining their own pockets, and here we are. A lot of us have been warning about this since Regan sold the country to corporations. Slowly, the only metric became money, and again, here we are. Two powerful groups who have gotten into bed together, each with their own goals and all of it against the majority of citizens.
One man? 89 million voting-aged Americans did not vote in the last election. Americans are the most entitled people on earth. Ask not for whom the bell tolls.
Sorry for this, The Americans who voted for Trump have made their bed, All this has done from Canada's standpoint is started to take Canada and our good friends in the US down a road we may never recover. We will not survive 4 years of this and not have irreparable damage to our relationship. Still a friend of the US.
My favorite historian - thank you Leigh and Heather! for doing a video together!!!!! She's kept my sanity through all things trump....and beyond!!!! Thank you Leigh for having her as a guest!!!

I hope u have found Bluesky social, it’s peaceful, it’s just lovely over there. No crazy magas making insane posts. Those ppl are weeded out and blocked. Hope you’re a part of the Bluesky family!
It actually gives me hope since 52% of those who don't watch anything voted for him. This is because they don't follow the news and have no idea why things are as they are. The reason i find that positive is they'll be harder to manipulate, and more apt to vote against the party of whoever is in the WH, if things go bad, and they're very likely to.
*And I'd they're not bad, not that I want him rewarded or anything, then we won't be suffering then anyhow.

I've always said to pay attention to what they DO and not what they SAY.
Heather, I’m in medicine. The response of the public to the CEO getting unplugged, did not surprise me in the slightest.
It’s disgusting nonetheless
@ tell me about the deaths in your family due to denials. Tell me about the patients you’d love to treat, even for free, but it’s not possible due to delays until they’re dead. Tell me all about your own personal journey of trying to get one bit of assistance when you need it most but instead have gotten sicker and sicker and weaker and weaker due to having to appeal and then sue just to get your medical needs covered. Do tell. I’m listening.
@@ToddDouglasFox why would you want to hear about this? Murdering some CEO in cold blood is horrid and despicable. It’s not difficult. You seem to be deeply morally confused.

I choose agency. Heather Cox Richardson is my bread and butter for all things political update. So much integrity, intelligence, fierce intellect! "We don't know what will happen in an hour from now." "Do not follow every twist and turn." "It is noise designed to get people agitated." Agreed! "We have agency to affect our worlds." Agreed! "The path is not set." Agreed! My personal well-being path is to stay away from mainstream media, and choose the sources to watch, and plug into activity that nurtures well being. It was tempting to shut it all off, but I am realizing, I personally can't do that. A lot of sadness, a lot of grief, a lot of anger surfaces and I work at also nurturing positive states. Thanks for this podcast!
All very vague observations that really mean nothing.
@@caxsmith to each their own journey. I find her work very strong, as does my partner, and if her work doesn't resonate with you, I wish you good fortune in the perspective that supports your well being. Thanks for your opinion. Thanks for respecting my own.
@@caxsmith ditto. There is no path to correcting all this as long as elections can be bought, the media is for-profit and biased, and the middle class is being fleeced by the 1% through compressed tax rates. Citizens United must be overturned, the Fairness Doctrine reinstated, and progressive income taxes (pre-Reagan rates) put back in place. Now, think about that, and explain to me how those changes come about in anything close to a peaceful path, if at all.
Thank you for having this discussion with Heather Cox Richardson, which I found most informative and helpful. I have decided to be prepared to fight, but to wait to see what happens. So far I'm not panicking because that only causes more confusion. I believe Trump and his friends are trying to sew mass confusion and foment chaos in hopes of us burning out.
Many of my ancestors fought to rid us of a monarchy, and quite a few of our wars, afterward. I can do no less than honor their courage and sacrifice in keeping to what we were founded on. Our Constitution is that foundation in writing.
Love Heather Cox Richardson!!!! I listen or read her daily words.

Thanks for the reminder to not get lost and exhausted in the chaos
Hi, I am an INDEPENDENT. I am seeing a lot of videos from the left that say MAGA is no longer supporting Trump and I think to myself……so what? He was already elected. He LITERALLY doesn’t need their support. He won the presidency, what does it matter if MAGA turns on him?
Because all the republicans in Washington follow him around like sheep and blindly support him because they are afraid of the base and getting primaried... but if he is truly losing the base, then that means he loses influence with republican representatives... and they have power. I am not convinced he is losing the base though. I have no trust in his base being that smart.
Here is why it matters. If his people start to see he is a fraud, they can turn on him. If his people turn on him, the house republicans could turn on him. If they turn on him, he won’t get much done. People may not think we decide how our country goes, but we do. From buying items and supporting the economy to sending our children to public schools creates the world we live in. What his base is doing has an effect on how the American people will live. What we will take and what we won’t.
Thanks for posting, hope. I read a thread of an 18 year old admitting to having made a mistake voting red all the way. Some posters were very unkind in response. We must welcome them. An 18 year old knows nothing other than this crazy.
@@marybrown7203 I’ve noticed a lot of videos from the left on UA-cam where they title it as Trump supporters regretting their vote, if you watch the videos it’s just people form the left saying that Trump supporting people regret their vote. I haven’t actually seen any video of Trump supporters saying they regret their vote. Seems like it’s just UA-camrs trying to get views.
@@marybrown7203 The learning curve is just that. We have no idea how long it will take for anyone to understand what he is about. But, after living through the first term I can say it will be coming. He has gone against so much of what he ran on already. Let them all live it, learn it and leave him. Our country will begin to heal.

Thank you, Leigh, for an inspiring and enlightening conversation.
Unfortunately SO many people just see there is ZERO accountability for the rich & politicians & powerful criminals and as a result it’s disheartening to the extent that we give up because it seems futile.
Excellent conversation on what so many of us are facing. Thank you for the straightforward, honest, and mature exchange with Heather. It makes me believe we can be the good we want in the world.
Great advice. He is throwing so much shade that we are overwhelmed and distracted from what’s really happening.
WOW, I'm floored at your keen observation about "wearing the child around his neck." Now I can't get it out of my mind.
Me too! I thought it was just for attention as “Look at me, I’m a great dad”, however seeing this toddler in adult situations such as sitting in meetings, attending a New Years Party at Mar a Lago, and being worn everywhere where no toddlers were present just looked so inappropriate. So this makes sense.
I thought this as soon as I saw him with the child, he's using him as a protective shield. Sick!
Thanks!
This is so brilliant and insightful. So good.
