As with others, jeffries missed the point. Harris DID run on his suggestions. Ppl didnt want to hear her suggesting that we should aspire to be better. Its the same reason why Jimmy Carter didnt get re-elected: His "national malaise" speech -- dead on -- was seen as unwanted preaching. Ive given this significant thought. I always end up seeing that our national malaise concerns our renouncement of empathy. Once that connection is made, one can see how it best explains our ruin. Mr. Cohen, i very much appreciate your work. But i guess that you have one of the very few negatives of youth: the lack of experiencing a longer time baseline. Younger ppl do not recall hearing the passion of Senators Moynehan and Ted Kennedy in their championing the needs of the unfortunate. There are a lot of rhetorical questions here. Not effective. Our loss of caring for ppl who give us nothing in return is profound. Why should i have ANY support for social programs that don't directly help me? Sadly, liberals empathy has dropped. And it is reflected in this interview. In the 60s, there were civil rights peaceful demonstrations across the country, even in my backward town in a Red state. Young people marched-- and a few even died -- for the civil rights of strangers different from themselves. Where is this expression now? Aside from high- cost (thus elitist) demonstrations in D.C., there have been none. Because it is just so damned hard to schedule around weddings and vacations
Please convince Hakeem Jeffries to come to your channel more often (like a monthly cadence?) to connect with the audiences aka voters in general (republicans/democrats/independent etc). It will be the initial step for democratic party to have more democratic politicians (either states or federal) to reach out to the voters.

Your Social Security & Medicare are safe under Trump. Democrats/Kamala continuously lied to the American people with fear mongering so you would vote for their nonsense. Sit back and enjoy the next 4 years!
@@171ND You are such a liar!!! They always accuse the other of what they're doing!! Trump will help no one!! Everything will be worse!! His hate is disgusting!
Right now Social Security will only last until the mid 2030s BUT people who make above $168,000 don’t pay Social Security Sec or Medicare taxes (FICA) anymore. If Congress lifts that Cap and make the rich pay FICA TAXES even after they reach $168,000 then Social Security will be SOLVENT and we won’t have to worry about it running out‼️
Jeffries and all Democrats need to hunker down with Biden and do absolutely everything they can from now until January 20. Load up every judge possible. Cut every deal possible to ensure critical programs like the CHIPS Act are protected. Make bold moves that the Republicans would do in an instant. We need to be done playing nice. Abide by the constitution and laws, yes, but we need to become aggressive in our opposition… to say the least. 💙🇺🇸
Fighting for democracy?? Such a cliche the Dems love to use. American people voted for Trump to stop the woke, wasteful and feckless Democrat leadership. Kamala lost because she could not or would not articulate how she would govern as President. Dems are way out of touch with what matters the most..........normalcy.
California has the strongest military in the U.S. i learned today. And it's one of the richest regions on the planet. So if we do have civil war. I'm glad im in oregon lol because we only got 1k soldiers, you guys got over 100k active duty
This is exactly what Hakeem Jeffries needs to be doing, getting more exposure. So many people my age don’t know who he is (25-30). He’s an all star hope to see more of him.
Exactly! And, yes, he sure is a super star! Hoping he and other Democrats, like him, are front and center over the next 2-4 years stating exactly what their focus is - as Hakeem is talking about now.
Hakeem Jeffries is a great leader and speaker , thankful for his wise, calm leadership. Thank you Brian for interviewing him and your thoughtful questions🇺🇸💙
As far as I'm concerned the veterans have been cheated & ignored for far too long. Then to have a draft dodger insult & ignore them & not eanting to be seen with the wounded warriors, he's got some audacity, he wasn't even man enough to go. Daddy paid for 5 deferments, for invisible bone spurs. Chubs can make it around a golf course fast enough. Even then he cheats.bDon't choke on your mashed potatoes,
DEMOCRATS HAVE ADOPTED THE GOP'S ALTERNATIVE FACTS MACHINATION. TALKING POINTS, WE HEAR YOU WE SEE YOU, SO WHAT I SEE THAT THE SKY IS BLUE, HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABE, SERIOUSLY? TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT, THE ONLY PEOPLE THE DEMS HOLD ACCOUNTABE ARE THE DEMS.
I’ve been paying into SS since I was 15. I’m 56 and when I retire I expect to receive what I put in all these years!! If they can’t pay off student loans, they can’t take our social security!!
@elizabethheyenga9277 my neighbor for more I talked to her, she didn't believe me and actually laughed at me..the vast of this Maga Cult are ignorants and believe everything Trump says..they will learn the hard way
Pleased to have seen Mr J. Interviewed along with just over 1,000,000 people. As an Australian you provided me with a clearer view of “checks and balances “ which are available to the American people. In these troubling times this clarity is comforting. I can only wish you well Mr J in tapping into the other 300,000,000 of your country men and women who need support. Your ABC speech was unknown to me until today: possibly a great inclusion into school curriculums, somewhat easier to digest than The Bible .
The media companies are owned and run by multimillionaires and billionaires who flourish in the gray area between democracy and oligarchy, which is one of the most basic things this election was about.
The Democrats have to part ways with corporate oligarchy if they are to survive as viable resistance to the oncoming tyranny and massive wealth transfer that are in the works.
Hate to tell you this but the representatives on both parties are bought and paid for by businesses. There should be term limits on representatives, it should not be a career. And we should make a law to prohibit business influence in politics. They get paid a salary and that’s it for income while serving.
I so wish Hakeem Jeffries was Speaker of the House. Kamela Harris would have been such a good President if people would have listened. Hakeem Jeffries would make an excellent President, too. He's intelligent and level headed. If only the American people would have listened. Now we are in jeopardy of losing benefits that many Americans need to survive.
@@JamesBrooks32 Alot of those Republicans will soon find out what type of maniac they voted into office and it will not be fun 😢… they have no idea what is about to happen and will continue to happen over the next few months especially and will also find out exactly how bad it is going to get over the next year or so! My only hope is that by the time Midterms get here we can succeed in voting a BLUE WAVE in and taking The House and Senate by a significant amount this time! We can’t give up.💙💙
You guys still like democracy? You guys lost the Senate the house, the presidency popular vote supreme Court. It doesn't seem like democracy is working out too well for you
As the benefits of Biden’s presidency begin to trickle down into American pocketbooks, Trump will take credit for it. To me, it’s important that the Democratic leadership start now, even before Trump is inaugurated, to educate the country with strong messaging about his actual accomplishments. I think it was AOC who recently said that the campaign should never end; we need to keep campaigning and educating until even the most low information voter knows the platform by heart.
Trump won't take credit. He will abandon and defund every Biden project. He doesn't give a damn what people want. He plans right now to throw 50,000,000 families off their access to medical care in his first week. Mike Johnson was on video crowing about it with his Republican caucus.
He hates Obamacare because he has only furious jealousy and hatred of Obama. That's why he's taking people's healthcare. He hates and has tried his hardest to criminalize President Biden. He will crush and undo everything President Biden has done. Remember that somebody told you this on social media, and then just watch. Trump could not care less for his followers than he already does. He has no regard for them at all.
I fully agree with you, Klara. Really like Speaker Jeffries- not only is he a straight shooter, he is brilliant and stands for the democratic ideals, in a consistent and considerate manner. His constituents chose well.
Why are the “good” guys going to him? Why give him any respect (and don’t say, respect for the office)? The first thing that happened to Vance was the claim (unfounded) that “they’re eating the cats and the dogs,” Yes. Looking forward to the year ahead. Get rid of don; we’ll then be ok.
If only that was enough...... apparently the majority of people that voted are cool with allowing the rich to get richer while the tax payers lose access to basic necessities... it keeps us in our place. Now we just have to watch as each person that voted for him feels the struggle that is coming. Shame on them all.
@@KristenB0707 - Too many idiots vote without having a clue what policies or issues are being discussed. They vote according to: I don´t want a black woman President. We need a white man 2. I liked The Apprentice 3. Trump is rich so American needs a business man in office. 3. I´m pro-life nothing else matters. 4 Things were better back then. They disregard that for the past 100 years the economy performed better under Democratic Presidents while all Republican presidents inherited a good economy and drove it into the ground.
I literally just got my SSDI after a multi-year fight a few weeks ago, right before the election. Please protect Social Security, SSDI, SSI, Medicare, etc. I'm 44, my life shouldn't be over because of this.
That was how old I was when I became disabled, too. I'm sorry for your situation. It's so exhausting and disheartening to go through that process, people have no idea. And then the threats on every page they send you, treating you like a criminal while you're sick and just trying to exist.

Thank you Congressman Jeffries .This is what we need. We need you guys speaking to us daily keeping in contact we need you to be public figures. We need you to out-Trump Trump.
Thank you, Mr. Cohen for the interview with Congressman Jeffries. Those on benefits like Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP need every Democratic member of Congress with hopefully a sane Republican member of Congress to stand up and protect their benefits. More Democratic Members of Congress need to be willing to be interviewed.
DJT, at Mar-a-Lago, flat out told the group of millionaires dining there that they are already very rich and he was going to make them richer by giving them MORE tax cuts!!!
Not only that we will loose Medicare. On our wages we are not able to pay the high price of a health insurance policy. It's impossible to afford that. Some only make 800.00 a month. You have to pay your rent. Groceries. Car insurance
@@conniehutchens9648 For most of us we will lose everything. I will lose my home and if I lose my Medicare I will be so screwed. I need to operations next year.
Well-spoken yes, but the dems do nothing of consequence. He is finally understanding that the high stock market doesn't translate to the average person being able to afford life. Took him too long. We've been screaming this for a few years and they only recognized it after the election. Super stupid

yes, thank you, thank you truly, but thank you for your energy, your joy, your sense of humor - makes me determined not to give up my energy, joy, or sense of humor either.
Your message, Senator Jeffries, was and is on point. Let's just admit that some voters were checked out during the whole of the Biden administration, knew nothing the Harris/Walz platform entailed, but woke up on Election Day and unwisely voted for the name they recognized - Donald Trump. The point is proven by the fact that they now regret their vote and wish they could take it back!

Brian has said over and over again they IGNORE his requests to come on the show but instead constantly appear on the mainstream media. I read a lot of praise in the comments for Jeffries, I rather blame him for not giving the example to his colleagues to do this BEFORE the election.
What good does it do when the only thing dem leaders do is talk? They're all flaccid pushovers who can't figure out how to beat a literal f'ing fascist, but they'll blame that on progressives, as per usual. lol. VBNMW though, right?

They definitely cheated. One example, Elon Musk paid a group to run ads that looked like Harris ads but weren’t and they contained lies and misinformation.
Ironically red states rely on handouts from blue states (apart from billionaires getting tax cuts)…YET THEY STILL VOTED FOR A CLOWN because they thought he’d help the price of groceries and gas go down! Billionaires are laughing…
When everything becomes more expensive and the economy continues to tank, the right wing will, predictably, blame the democrats and specifically, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I’ve already seen comments and heard some of them llaoreadybmaking excuses for something that hasn’t even happened yet. They say, “Well, this all started with the last administration because Trump wasn’t in office yet.” They refuse to take any responsibility or hold their side accountable for anything. Ever. It’s always someone else’s fault-anyone but their “anointed by God, King and Savior,” Donald Trump. They’ll keep projecting, lying, and regurgitating Trump’s bullshit while dismissing science, statistics, truth, and facts. These people actively shut their eyes to reality, all while running their mouths to spew verbal diarrhea, claiming anyone who dares to disagree with or criticize their unhinged rhetoric or their dear leader is suffering from “TDS.” The TDS accusation is so fucking cringe. We are dealing with some of the most ignorant, uneducated, contemptible, authoritarian morons imaginable. You can’t convince fools that they’re fools-it’s nearly impossible. What we desperately need is a systematic overhaul that emphasizes critical thinking, media literacy, accountability, and civic education. The mess we’re in is the direct result of a population that lacks the ability to self-reflect, think critically, or even understand how government works. Worse, many can’t be bothered to research the policies of their chosen candidates. And let’s not forget the so-called Christians who have completely abandoned the principles they claim to uphold. Their toxic nationalistic ideology doesn’t align with democratic or liberal values, and it’s time for them to stop lying to themselves and their congregations. This country cannot move forward until people stop choosing willful ignorance over reality.
The ACA requires insurance companies to cover preventive care, including vaccines. My statement showed Medicare paid $152.78 for COVID vaccine & $102.55 for flu vaccine for my jabs in Oct. Who can afford to pay that out of pocket every year?
Thank you Rep Jeffries! My husband and I have been losing sleep since we BOTH just retired and rely on social security and Medicare to pay our bills (although I need Obamacare because I’m not 65 yet and I’ve had cancer twice - once this past year - as I am 63). We never wanted to be wealthy and we did all the right things by working our entire lives (both of us were in the helping professions). This feels cruel and an unnecessary worry considering we paid into both. It is hardly an “entitlement.”
Exactly! We paid into these benefits our whole life. My son is 42 and is putting everything he can into his 401k because he believes they will push the age to 70 and still have nothing left by the time he can retire.
Trump quietly lowered the cap on married disabled couples last term. He stripped hundreds of people of their SSI benefits.... We're going to need to work together, and create communities to take care of each other in the event he succeeds again.
There are many, many of the average American citizens who've all worked their whole life to be just as worried as you. Hopefully the democrats can fight them off until the midterms when democrats win back the house and senate.
That's my issue with Democrats they need to be more vocal and more zealous in their messaging. Republicans do a great job even though they lie, and gaslight with conspiracy theories and but they are more vocal they are more cut to the Chase in delivering their BS. Let's be real here Republicans are not going to do anything bipartisan, the results are, Republicans walk all over Democrats. These next four years Democrats and Progressives and grassroot organizations need to make life hellish for Trumps 4 years and the Republican Party. TRUMP& Republicans surely were zealous and adamant about making Joe Biden s 4 years a living HELL. DEMOCRATS NEED TO FOLLOW THE SAME PLAYBOOK IN MAKING TRUMPS 4 YEARS A LIVING HELL. BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW HE WAS GUILTY AS HELL AND SHOULD BE IN PRISON WITH HIS LYING ASS 😡

Also on corporate media- they have obviously failed the American public! We need to hear more from them and less focus on the Dumpster! We are SICK of hearing about him FOR YEARS!
More of this! We need Dems online, reaching people. Especially when you want to help people and you know they will make it their achievements. Infrastructure projects are a great example. Please, please, get our message system as widespread as the right have made theirs.
@jerrypeal653 We are a Democratic Republic whether you like it or not. Don't allow semantics to cause you to vote a way our Democratic Republic for a Fascist Dictatorship!!
@ wrong but I expected stupidity. Even Liz C. Always refers to us as a republic. Now do you know the pledge of allegiance? You in your country are communist!
Hakeem!! I'm just sitting here listening while working and you made me get up and check who was speaking! You said loud and clear that community is our answer. That can't be said enough. We don't need to fight each other. We all need someone to help and we got mixed up somewhere.
I took a full two weeks off line to recover. I was grieving for my country and my people. We're fighting tribalism, racism and sexism and that breaks my heart into a million pieces. We will never be able to stop fighting.
Call your Congressman and tell them they work for you. Tell them no recess appointment business. Tell them you being in Congress depends on us. We are your employer. Think about that before you bend a knee to trump. In simple language tell them you owe your job to voters.
I’m still off of Facebook and Instagram or any Social Media. I’m completely disgusted with the people who will vote for a criminal and a cast of clowns.
@@donnacox1354Nancyr great comment and i just got an email saying trump is trying to eliminate our abilities to dissent and that really freaks me out. then i see Adam Sciff’s name there, as someone who voted yes on this issue and it pissed me off, i voted for him in California. so i’ve got some phone calls to make. God i hate that F er so much and maybe in the future, i won’t even be able to text how i feel, this is 😱 scary as 💩to me, along with Pakman’s video about the possibility of a civil war.
Hakeem Jefferies is a democratic superstar. Thank you for having him on, Brian. Please continue to have more democratic senators and congresspeople on so they get exposure. People need to see who is fighting for them.
Agreed. I worked for an Assemblyman in Brownesville and had the honor of 1 or 2 deliveries a week to his office. When he was elected to Congress i congratulated him at a pre Pride parade in Brooklyn. He thanked me then said he thought I would have been to see him. I was not sure what he meant but he finished with "to ask for a job!" What an honor that was!
Wasn't gaetz previously investigated by the democrats for this same situation. They found nothing then. Only thing that has changed is he is trying to step up. She is a money seeker like most of them.

Well, it's a good thing Trump won't touch social security. Stop letting these idiots scare you. They're literally saying that it's not a campaign promise, but he will stop it if they try. It's ridiculous.
Sold our house in 2019 to get the hell out of TX. Planned to buy the summer of 2020. COVID his and I was diagnosed with cancer at 39 (scans now going well) that July. Buying a house took a backseat and now I don’t think we will EVER be able to buy a home again. And retirement is laughable at this point. The American Dream is dead and decomposed.
Praying for your recovery and im very sorry to hear about your health & stalled plans. 🩷 Hoping we can all find hope & motivation in looking ahead to 2028.
Brian/Mr. Jeffries: Thank you. I needed to hear you. The topic of Social Security is weighing heavy on my mind. I'm single and on SSDI. I have no family... no other means of surviving. I'm very concerned for people like myself. I'm very worried about ALL OF US❣️💙🇺🇸
How can he help protect it? The GOP has all the power....president, house, Senate and justice system. There is no balance of power remaining . We are paying democrats in the house and Senate to be sitting patsies
Me too, 82 white female here. This is beginning to look like musk wants to enact poor white genocide upon us retired people who depend on benefits SS that we paid for. WTF???????????????????
Yes same here but also it affects older republicans , too. That might make them come to their senses and decide to vote for the Dems in the midterms 🤞💙
From Canada: Absolute respect to Mr. Hakeem Jeffries and Mr. Brian Tyler Cohen! Inspired! Thank you! Please get your millions of uneducated American people the right resources to make better decisions. The meaning of tariffs, inflation etc. …. The How, What, Why…

This is what makes me so proud of being an American. That there are Hakeem Jefferies growing up in our midst that embody all that is good and worthy of us as Americans…wish we did not have to go thru these next 4 painful years of being dragged thru the mud by this next man ( can’t call him Pres or leader because it would dishonor the title), but having Mr. Jeffries fighting for us makes it bearable.

@@mnn1265Hmm, I don't see billionaires like Musk and Bezos singing his praise. Oh right, that's because anyone who's wealthy, corrupt and/or a sexual predator is supporting Trump, not Jefferies.
"Bless you US Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries" You're blessing an AIPAC-funded, genocide-supporting "leader"? Seriously? Free the U.S. from AIPAC control now.
Hakeem and Brian Thank you so much for what you both do! I raised 3 children by myself with no child support. I remember not being able to get a credit card or mortgage. I am 73 and for the first time in my life, my life was calm, I own a house. I am at the high end of social security and that pays my mortgage payment. I get a very small pension and also work part time and pay for an ins gap program. I was so calmly living life and now I can’t sleep at night. If I lose social security, I will lose my house. Yes, I work part time to afford medications and have extra money. I am fine with that because it allows me to live a decent life. As I get older, I can take equity from my home. Now I don’t know if I should sell my home, refinance my low rate to get cash out for survival. Hate living in an unknown environment.
@@patriciawilson1836sad hugs. Maga folks are going to be laughing and making fun of you both. They voted for this and are happy to see the suffering. Good luck to all of us. I think people in their 50’s need to worry that SS will disappear…if youre in your 70’s, it prob wont affect you as much. Hugs.
Can you have someone temporarily move in to help with living expenses and the mortgage? Maybe think of it as a "The Golden Girls" situation, because I think many people are going to consider moving in with family, renting out extra space/room to trusted people, or working available part-time jobs if possible, to make it through these turbulent times. Best wishes to you!
Thank you both for keeping us moving forward and for keeping your eyes on the most important concerns that affect most Americans. This next 4 years will be a test of resilience and fortitude that at this moment we can only imagine. You are and will continue to be in my prayers as we battle the devil within. With God by our side we will defeat the demons that will try and destroy our democracy. Stand strong and know you are not alone and we thank God every day for you and others that want only the best for the citizens of our great land.
Rep Hakeem Jeffries thank you for helping bring calm. This past 2 weeks have been difficult for many Americans. One hope would be to look forward to a Jeffries candidacy in 2028.
Please see the interview with Greg Palast by Mark Thompson (his show). I would post the link but I have already done that three times in this segment and I don’t want to be x’ed out of comments.😬 (I have been booted out for posing links too many times.)😉😊
I think it should be investigated because l believe that truth comes out trump and his chronic inferior the election vote against Kamala and trump himself made had stolen it from her just did to. Hillary Clinton back into. 2016 because l believe the the Mueller investigation had proof of it because Trump was still president at the time said there any collusion that is was there any Russia involvement but not the truth fact trumps and Bill Barr was trump attorney general and black out thing in the muller investigation report when to demonstrate congress they the whole truth fact regarding trump administration but. Something smells n this election the vote came to fast on trump and Kamala vote
Brian, you need to push to do interviews like this with every democratic official you can. It’s important to get them exposure and to get their message out!
I love this podcast! Brian is smart, obviously kind, and generous. He has great guests on the show and treats them well-he doesn’t interrupt them or try to get them to say what he wants them to say. And he asks great questions. It was such a pleasure watching these two-lots of brain power there. Thank you, Brian, and have a great winter holiday season.
52 Dems voting to allow Trump to make any nonprofit a taxed institution - unprecedented individual power. Anything helping regular folks now become listed as “helping terrorists” And 52 democrats handed him the keys
THANK YOU!! I'VE BEEN SCREAMING THIS AS MUCH AND OFTEN AS POSSIBLE!!! They have to stop be afraid of being called "mean" by the right. They need to be putting every republican that votes against our best interests or votes for things that will hurt us. Start releasing this information as much and often as possible!! Make Jasmine Crockett one of the loudest voices for us. She's VERY educated and she comes prepared & doesn't get intimated!!!!

As with others, jeffries missed the point. Harris DID run on his suggestions. Ppl didnt want to hear her suggesting that we should aspire to be better.
Its the same reason why Jimmy Carter didnt get re-elected: His "national malaise" speech -- dead on -- was seen as unwanted preaching.
Ive given this significant thought. I always end up seeing that our national malaise concerns our renouncement of empathy.
Once that connection is made, one can see how it best explains our ruin.
Mr. Cohen, i very much appreciate your work. But i guess that you have one of the very few negatives of youth: the lack of experiencing a longer time baseline.
Younger ppl do not recall hearing the passion of Senators Moynehan and Ted Kennedy in their championing the needs of the unfortunate.
There are a lot of rhetorical questions here. Not effective.
Our loss of caring for ppl who give us nothing in return is profound.
Why should i have ANY support for social programs that don't directly help me?
Sadly, liberals empathy has dropped. And it is reflected in this interview.
In the 60s, there were civil rights peaceful demonstrations across the country, even in my backward town in a Red state.
Young people marched-- and a few even died -- for the civil rights of strangers different from themselves.
Where is this expression now? Aside from high- cost (thus elitist) demonstrations in D.C., there have been none.
Because it is just so damned hard to schedule around weddings and vacations
Please convince Hakeem Jeffries to come to your channel more often (like a monthly cadence?) to connect with the audiences aka voters in general (republicans/democrats/independent etc). It will be the initial step for democratic party to have more democratic politicians (either states or federal) to reach out to the voters.

Protect our Social Security!!!
And Medicare.
Your Social Security & Medicare are safe under Trump. Democrats/Kamala continuously lied to the American people with fear mongering so you would vote for their nonsense. Sit back and enjoy the next 4 years!
@@171ND You are such a liar!!! They always accuse the other of what they're doing!! Trump will help no one!! Everything will be worse!! His hate is disgusting!
And Disabled Veterans and Veterans pay
People need to remember that social security is not only for supplementing our retirement but it’s also there for people less fortunate
Social security, Medicare, disability, medicaid, snap for those who need it. Please save it.
The Dems sound like they don’t really care too much about the poor. Their focus is on the middle class, and trumps is on the rich
I need my disability!!! 🤬🤡
Republicans who voted against Medicare ,Snap and social security should not accept them but let the democrats keep it.
Right now Social Security will only last until the mid 2030s BUT people who make above $168,000 don’t pay Social Security Sec or Medicare taxes (FICA) anymore. If Congress lifts that Cap and make the rich pay FICA TAXES even after they reach $168,000 then Social Security will be SOLVENT and we won’t have to worry about it running out‼️
Exactly
PUT THOSE JUDGES IN PLACE NOW !

They can't anymore lol
Agreed but I think the Senate leads that effort.
@@Nicholas45451 yes they can and they are , just not fast enough .

Yes! Until then, we have no chance
Jeffries and all Democrats need to hunker down with Biden and do absolutely everything they can from now until January 20. Load up every judge possible. Cut every deal possible to ensure critical programs like the CHIPS Act are protected. Make bold moves that the Republicans would do in an instant. We need to be done playing nice. Abide by the constitution and laws, yes, but we need to become aggressive in our opposition… to say the least. 💙🇺🇸
Absolutely agree. Be brutal in protecting people. As brutal as GOP is in harming people.

Thank You Gentlemen 💙🇺🇲💙
I'm a disabled veteran. Fighting for us should be very high on their list. Do not privatize the VA and do not take away our benefits!!!

I will fight for you on this. Veterans deserve Every. Single. Benefit. Thank you so very much for your service.
@@tonidiane6153 totally agree but I’m afraid you are on the chopping block and a lot of your fellow vets voted for Trump.
Unfortunately, MAGA doesn't value our vets, democracy, or the rule of law; they value fortune, fame/absolute power. Power concedes nothing.
🇺🇸 California is ready to fight for democracy
💯💙🌊💯💙🌊💯
Fighting for democracy?? Such a cliche the Dems love to use. American people voted for Trump to stop the woke, wasteful and feckless Democrat leadership. Kamala lost because she could not or would not articulate how she would govern as President. Dems are way out of touch with what matters the most..........normalcy.
We ARE strong enough !!! to fight!!
What does fight for democracy mean?
California has the strongest military in the U.S. i learned today. And it's one of the richest regions on the planet. So if we do have civil war. I'm glad im in oregon lol because we only got 1k soldiers, you guys got over 100k active duty
This is exactly what Hakeem Jeffries needs to be doing, getting more exposure. So many people my age don’t know who he is (25-30). He’s an all star hope to see more of him.
Exactly! And, yes, he sure is a super star! Hoping he and other Democrats, like him, are front and center over the next 2-4 years stating exactly what their focus is - as Hakeem is talking about now.
His A to Z speech was amazing
Yeah I felt terrible today and he gave me some much needed hope. I subscribed to his channel too!
I know him I’m 42 they are my jam

As far as I'm concerned the veterans have been cheated & ignored for far too long. Then to have a draft dodger insult & ignore them & not eanting to be seen with the wounded warriors, he's got some audacity, he wasn't even man enough to go. Daddy paid for 5 deferments, for invisible bone spurs. Chubs can make it around a golf course fast enough. Even then he cheats.bDon't choke on your mashed potatoes,

Does anyone want to play Gacha life with me
I depend on my SSA, I'll be homeless without. 😢
I’ve been paying into SS since I was 15. I’m 56 and when I retire I expect to receive what I put in all these years!! If they can’t pay off student loans, they can’t take our social security!!
They're not going to touch anyone's social security but I do think there won't be any more tax on it for the elderly
@@Hope4U61nothing is going to happen to your social security if anything it'll probably be tax-free
Please, at all costs, save our SS, Disability, and Medicare. We need them to survive.
we have a country full of idiots and we're paying the price, Shoulda talked to your neighbors before election day
@@elizabethheyenga9277I’m pretty sure my gay neighbors supported Kamala. I’m straight and I did
If Trump wants to cut SS, then they can't take out tax from people's pay check. Those $$ are from our taxes. Therefore they can't cut SS.
@elizabethheyenga9277 my neighbor for more I talked to her, she didn't believe me and actually laughed at me..the vast of this Maga Cult are ignorants and believe everything Trump says..they will learn the hard way
I don’t think dems could do anything when trump doesn’t want medicare
Pleased to have seen Mr J. Interviewed along with just over 1,000,000 people. As an Australian you provided me with a clearer view of “checks and balances “ which are available to the American people. In these troubling times this clarity is comforting. I can only wish you well Mr J in tapping into the other 300,000,000 of your country men and women who need support. Your ABC speech was unknown to me until today: possibly a great inclusion into school curriculums, somewhat easier to digest than The Bible .
The media was complicit focusing more on Biden's age and giving Trump a free pass instead of highlighting Biden's accomplishments.
Amen!!! Well said
The media companies are owned and run by multimillionaires and billionaires who flourish in the gray area between democracy and oligarchy, which is one of the most basic things this election was about.
The Democrats have to part ways with corporate oligarchy if they are to survive as viable resistance to the oncoming tyranny and massive wealth transfer that are in the works.
Hate to tell you this but the representatives on both parties are bought and paid for by businesses. There should be term limits on representatives, it should not be a career. And we should make a law to prohibit business influence in politics. They get paid a salary and that’s it for income while serving.
And the accomplishments are outstanding!
Hakeem! You are one of our only hopes! Please keep fighting for democracy!
Play gacha life
You're kidding right?
Lol 😂 He’s already talking about working with republicans in congress. 😮
Good luck with that.
Democracy? That's how we ended up with a republican president, that's how we ended up with a republican-controlled House and Senate and supreme Court
Lord let your mercy be on, as we place our trust in you.🙏❤️
I so wish Hakeem Jeffries was Speaker of the
House. Kamela Harris would have been such a good President if people would have listened. Hakeem Jeffries would make an excellent President, too. He's intelligent and level headed.
If only the American people would have listened. Now we are in jeopardy of losing benefits that many Americans need to survive.
Now, those that voted for trump and Republicans are regretting it. It's too late now.
@@JamesBrooks32who says we regret it?
@@harrydicktom8639 Google it and UA-cam it. It's EVERYWHERE! BE INFORMED!!! EVEN THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING AGAINST HIM!!

Alot of those Republicans will soon find out what type of maniac they voted into office and it will not be fun 😢… they have no idea what is about to happen and will continue to happen over the next few months especially and will also find out exactly how bad it is going to get over the next year or so!
My only hope is that by the time Midterms get here we can succeed in voting a BLUE WAVE in and taking The House and Senate by a significant amount this time!
We can’t give up.💙💙
Excellent questions, Brian! It is still just too unbelievable.
Thank you Brian and Hakeem Jeffries for being such voices of Pro-democracy
You guys still like democracy? You guys lost the Senate the house, the presidency popular vote supreme Court. It doesn't seem like democracy is working out too well for you
As the benefits of Biden’s presidency begin to trickle down into American pocketbooks, Trump will take credit for it. To me, it’s important that the Democratic leadership start now, even before Trump is inaugurated, to educate the country with strong messaging about his actual accomplishments. I think it was AOC who recently said that the campaign should never end; we need to keep campaigning and educating until even the most low information voter knows the platform by heart.
Trump won't take credit. He will abandon and defund every Biden project. He doesn't give a damn what people want. He plans right now to throw 50,000,000 families off their access to medical care in his first week. Mike Johnson was on video crowing about it with his Republican caucus.
He hates Obamacare because he has only furious jealousy and hatred of Obama. That's why he's taking people's healthcare. He hates and has tried his hardest to criminalize President Biden. He will crush and undo everything President Biden has done.
Remember that somebody told you this on social media, and then just watch.
Trump could not care less for his followers than he already does. He has no regard for them at all.
Trump is going to overturn what good Biden did.
Exactly
theyre never see or hear it. they're in a right wing bubble
Mr. Jeffries speaks from his heart. He means what he says. He really cares for people. Thank God, thank you, Hakeem.✌🏽🙏🏾
I fully agree with you, Klara. Really like Speaker Jeffries- not only is he a straight shooter, he is brilliant and stands for the democratic ideals, in a consistent and considerate manner. His constituents chose well.
That's who I think is President material.
Why are the “good” guys going to him? Why give him any respect (and don’t say, respect for the office)? The first thing that happened to Vance was the claim (unfounded) that “they’re eating the cats and the dogs,” Yes. Looking forward to the year ahead. Get rid of don; we’ll then be ok.
If only that was enough...... apparently the majority of people that voted are cool with allowing the rich to get richer while the tax payers lose access to basic necessities... it keeps us in our place. Now we just have to watch as each person that voted for him feels the struggle that is coming. Shame on them all.
@@KristenB0707 - Too many idiots vote without having a clue what policies or issues are being discussed. They vote according to: I don´t want a black woman President. We need a white man 2. I liked The Apprentice 3. Trump is rich so American needs a business man in office. 3. I´m pro-life nothing else matters. 4 Things were better back then. They disregard that for the past 100 years the economy performed better under Democratic Presidents while all Republican presidents inherited a good economy and drove it into the ground.
Thank you for having Leader Jeffries on your show, He is PHENOMENAL!👏🏽🙌🏾
I literally just got my SSDI after a multi-year fight a few weeks ago, right before the election. Please protect Social Security, SSDI, SSI, Medicare, etc. I'm 44, my life shouldn't be over because of this.
That was how old I was when I became disabled, too. I'm sorry for your situation. It's so exhausting and disheartening to go through that process, people have no idea. And then the threats on every page they send you, treating you like a criminal while you're sick and just trying to exist.
And immediately take 40% of your earnings, forever.
you can say goodbye to that disability at your age. Dr Oz will cut us off....watch
I haven't even applied because of the fact, it could be stripped away from me.

He needs a wider place to share his thoughts. To get out in front of more people.
Soooo grateful to Hakeem Jeffries- a much needed boost to my spirit.
Thank you, Mr. Cohen for the interview with Congressman Jeffries. Those on benefits like Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP need every Democratic member of Congress with hopefully a sane Republican member of Congress to stand up and protect their benefits. More Democratic Members of Congress need to be willing to be interviewed.
A vast majority of conservatives want this too. So many in the working class are banking on these things for retirement.
Don't forget Section 8 Housing Assistance.

Yes sir.

Your message, Senator Jeffries, was and is on point. Let's just admit that some voters were checked out during the whole of the Biden administration, knew nothing the Harris/Walz platform entailed, but woke up on Election Day and unwisely voted for the name they recognized - Donald Trump. The point is proven by the fact that they now regret their vote and wish they could take it back!

Yes, especially reps that do not get air time.
Brian has said over and over again they IGNORE his requests to come on the show but instead constantly appear on the mainstream media. I read a lot of praise in the comments for Jeffries, I rather blame him for not giving the example to his colleagues to do this BEFORE the election.
Do this more reps. We need yall to come talk to liberals who are pushing our message, and not ignoring creators because they aren't on the mainstream.

They won. I have no sympathy for them. They're gonna get what they voted for. Unfortunately, so are we.
True
They definitely cheated. One example, Elon Musk paid a group to run ads that looked like Harris ads but weren’t and they contained lies and misinformation.
Ironically red states rely on handouts from blue states (apart from billionaires getting tax cuts)…YET THEY STILL VOTED FOR A CLOWN because they thought he’d help the price of groceries and gas go down! Billionaires are laughing…
When everything becomes more expensive and the economy continues to tank, the right wing will, predictably, blame the democrats and specifically, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I’ve already seen comments and heard some of them llaoreadybmaking excuses for something that hasn’t even happened yet. They say, “Well, this all started with the last administration because Trump wasn’t in office yet.” They refuse to take any responsibility or hold their side accountable for anything. Ever. It’s always someone else’s fault-anyone but their “anointed by God, King and Savior,” Donald Trump.
They’ll keep projecting, lying, and regurgitating Trump’s bullshit while dismissing science, statistics, truth, and facts. These people actively shut their eyes to reality, all while running their mouths to spew verbal diarrhea, claiming anyone who dares to disagree with or criticize their unhinged rhetoric or their dear leader is suffering from “TDS.” The TDS accusation is so fucking cringe.
We are dealing with some of the most ignorant, uneducated, contemptible, authoritarian morons imaginable. You can’t convince fools that they’re fools-it’s nearly impossible. What we desperately need is a systematic overhaul that emphasizes critical thinking, media literacy, accountability, and civic education. The mess we’re in is the direct result of a population that lacks the ability to self-reflect, think critically, or even understand how government works. Worse, many can’t be bothered to research the policies of their chosen candidates.
And let’s not forget the so-called Christians who have completely abandoned the principles they claim to uphold. Their toxic nationalistic ideology doesn’t align with democratic or liberal values, and it’s time for them to stop lying to themselves and their congregations. This country cannot move forward until people stop choosing willful ignorance over reality.
That’s the problem.
Please save the ACA! People need access to health care!

Thank you Rep Jeffries! My husband and I have been losing sleep since we BOTH just retired and rely on social security and Medicare to pay our bills (although I need Obamacare because I’m not 65 yet and I’ve had cancer twice - once this past year - as I am 63). We never wanted to be wealthy and we did all the right things by working our entire lives (both of us were in the helping professions). This feels cruel and an unnecessary worry considering we paid into both. It is hardly an “entitlement.”
Thank you, I am nearly in the same boat, make your voice heard!🙏🏼❤
Exactly! We paid into these benefits our whole life. My son is 42 and is putting everything he can into his 401k because he believes they will push the age to 70 and still have nothing left by the time he can retire.
Trump quietly lowered the cap on married disabled couples last term.
He stripped hundreds of people of their SSI benefits....
We're going to need to work together, and create communities to take care of each other in the event he succeeds again.

There are many, many of the average American citizens who've all worked their whole life to be just as worried as you. Hopefully the democrats can fight them off until the midterms when democrats win back the house and senate.
Pass the fairness act for seniors Now please 🙏
Thank you Hakeem Jeffries, for visiting Brian Tyler Cohen! The people need to see more Democrats on-air.
Yes, the public needs constant reminders of how loony democrats are.
too late to save america
That's my issue with Democrats they need to be more vocal and more zealous in their messaging. Republicans do a great job even though they lie, and gaslight with conspiracy theories and but they are more vocal they are more cut to the Chase in delivering their BS. Let's be real here Republicans are not going to do anything bipartisan, the results are, Republicans walk all over Democrats. These next four years Democrats and Progressives and grassroot organizations need to make life hellish for Trumps 4 years and the Republican Party. TRUMP& Republicans surely were zealous and adamant about making Joe Biden s 4 years a living HELL. DEMOCRATS NEED TO FOLLOW THE SAME PLAYBOOK IN MAKING TRUMPS 4 YEARS A LIVING HELL. BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW HE WAS GUILTY AS HELL AND SHOULD BE IN PRISON WITH HIS LYING ASS 😡
DEMOCRATS HAVE ADOPTED THE GOP'S ALTERNATIVE FACTS MACHINATION. TALKING POINTS, WE HEAR YOU WE SEE YOU, SO WHAT I SEE THAT THE SKY IS BLUE, HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABE, SERIOUSLY? TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT, THE ONLY PEOPLE THE DEMS HOLD ACCOUNTABE ARE THE DEMS.
Also on corporate media- they have obviously failed the American public! We need to hear more from them and less focus on the Dumpster! We are SICK of hearing about him FOR YEARS!
More of this!
We need Dems online, reaching people. Especially when you want to help people and you know they will make it their achievements. Infrastructure projects are a great example.
Please, please, get our message system as widespread as the right have made theirs.
Flood the social zone with clipsof Dems telling people what Republicans voted against again, like raising the minimum wage etc.
Thank you Brian and Hakeem for FIGHTING for our Democracy in real time. 🇺🇸⚖💙
I prefer a fight to save our republic
@jerrypeal653 We are a Democratic Republic whether you like it or not. Don't allow semantics to cause you to vote a way our Democratic Republic for a Fascist Dictatorship!!
@ wrong but I expected stupidity. Even Liz C. Always refers to us as a republic.
Now do you know the pledge of allegiance?
You in your country are communist!
@@jerrypeal653 how many times do you have to be told that a republic is a form of democracy?
@ a democracy is mob rule . A republic is representative!
Go back to civics class.
Hakeem!! I'm just sitting here listening while working and you made me get up and check who was speaking! You said loud and clear that community is our answer. That can't be said enough. We don't need to fight each other. We all need someone to help and we got mixed up somewhere.
I Love Hakeem Jefferies...He Needs To Run For President 2028 💙✝️🙏
There will never be another election. Trump is about to become a dictator.
He should've ran for President in 2024
I agree! We need to see Hakeem Jefferies in the White House someday!
Let him become house leader first lol
I agree, this man is articulate, intelligent, and insightful.
Thank you democrats and leader Hakeem Jeffrey's Keep fighting for the american people and The trump party Too much corruption
I took a full two weeks off line to recover. I was grieving for my country and my people. We're fighting tribalism, racism and sexism and that breaks my heart into a million pieces. We will never be able to stop fighting.
Call your Congressman and tell them they work for you. Tell them no recess appointment business. Tell them you being in Congress depends on us. We are your employer. Think about that before you bend a knee to trump. In simple language tell them you owe your job to voters.
I’m still off of Facebook and Instagram or any Social Media. I’m completely disgusted with the people who will vote for a criminal and a cast of clowns.
@@donnacox1354Nancyr great comment and i just got an email saying trump is trying to eliminate our abilities to dissent and that really freaks me out. then i see Adam Sciff’s name there, as someone who voted yes on this issue and it pissed me off, i voted for him in California. so i’ve got some phone calls to make. God i hate that F er so much and maybe in the future, i won’t even be able to text how i feel, this is 😱 scary as 💩to me, along with Pakman’s video about the possibility of a civil war.
a two party system will always fail eventually
Agree i was so heartbroken i didn't even watch the end of the voting love V P ❤Harris @@lynnevanvorce7727
What a beautiful soul as well as well spoken. ❤️🇨🇦
Hakeem Jefferies is a democratic superstar. Thank you for having him on, Brian. Please continue to have more democratic senators and congresspeople on so they get exposure. People need to see who is fighting for them.
Agreed. I worked for an Assemblyman in Brownesville and had the honor of 1 or 2 deliveries a week to his office. When he was elected to Congress i congratulated him at a pre Pride parade in Brooklyn. He thanked me then said he thought I would have been to see him. I was not sure what he meant but he finished with "to ask for a job!" What an honor that was!
A liar, a rapist, &a congressman walk into a bar
The bartender asks him
"What will it be Mr. Gaetz?"
a felon, a rapist and a conman walk into a bar
The bartender asks: "What will it be Mr. Trump"
FDJT😂
Wasn't gaetz previously investigated by the democrats for this same situation. They found nothing then. Only thing that has changed is he is trying to step up. She is a money seeker like most of them.
Good one!
Three in One

He is a blessing to us dems
I am a long time Democrat and I am sick of our party just talking about things. tgey need to start doing some constructive actions. Actions speak louder than words 😮
Good job on getting Jefferies in an interview. I hope you get more party members open to interview
Push Nancy Pelosi out of the spotlight and maybe the new generation can finally step into it! #RetirePelosiClyburnEtAl
@@kerrialexander4211 lol Jeffries was groomed by Pelosi. Why should we expect anything different? He supports the genocide in gaza, he is against single payer medicare. He's a shitlib and so are the majority of spineless dems in office. They've been saying this same dumb shit every election since Clinton shifted the party to the right and blue maga just lap it up every time, like good little sheep. People like Jeffries are why trump is going to be president.
Hakeem is such a good person
How would you know that? Do you know he’s in politics? You know politicians lie as the biggest part of their job, right?
Thank you, Hakeem for making the rounds on the networks. We need more of this. We the people NEED to hear from our leaders and DNC. We need to know you are fighting for us. We can’t hear or see you, we don’t know you’re fighting.
Thank you Mr. Jefferies for your dedicated work for the people, you are the best... And we will stand and fight with you..We love you...GOD BLESS & KEEP YOU...🙏❤️
Ty mr.JEFFRIES for hanging in here with us 💕 we love you guys. Blue 💙 💙 💙 4ever 💙

I'm a 70 year old woman, retired in 2023. If Social security stops, my husband and I will have to go back to work
Do you think it's likely that people over 65 will be hired in any job where you can support yourselves?
Well, it's a good thing Trump won't touch social security. Stop letting these idiots scare you. They're literally saying that it's not a campaign promise, but he will stop it if they try. It's ridiculous.
That's exactly what they want.
@@wellhellothere6347
No they won't! 😢
It's our money, no way do they have access to take it away!!!
Representative Hakeem Jeffries WILL BE SPEAKER!!
💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙
Hopefully 💙
Sold our house in 2019 to get the hell out of TX. Planned to buy the summer of 2020. COVID his and I was diagnosed with cancer at 39 (scans now going well) that July. Buying a house took a backseat and now I don’t think we will EVER be able to buy a home again. And retirement is laughable at this point. The American Dream is dead and decomposed.
Praying for your recovery and im very sorry to hear about your health & stalled plans. 🩷 Hoping we can all find hope & motivation in looking ahead to 2028.
Brian/Mr. Jeffries: Thank you. I needed to hear you. The topic of Social Security is weighing heavy on my mind. I'm single and on SSDI. I have no family... no other means of surviving. I'm very concerned for people like myself. I'm very worried about ALL OF US❣️💙🇺🇸
Same here. And where I live winter is coming fast.
How can he help protect it? The GOP has all the power....president, house, Senate and justice system. There is no balance of power remaining . We are paying democrats in the house and Senate to be sitting patsies
I’m in a similar spot, but I didn’t hear anything I haven’t heard from the Democrats over and over, and look where’s that’s gotten us.
I understand…Praying for our resilience, peace and trust in The Lord for His provision in this time and season🙏🏽
Keep fighting for democracy.
Why democracy? You mean democratic policies?
@ if you do not protect the institutions of government, you will have no government.
@@druwksure but you got to do more than that. Democracy is how we got a republican-controlled government in every aspect
@@druwkdemocracy is a terrible system if you are in the minority as you are
@@harrydicktom8639 Why not?
Thank you, Brian, for getting these politicians on your channel! I hope they continue on your podcast and others! They need to be heard! EVERYWHERE!!!
People need to listen! People need to hear! PAY ATTENTION!!
Thank you for doing this with Hakeem Jeffries. I am 70 and live on Social Security. They take that away and i will not be able to pay rent or eat.😊
Nor will i
Me also. So many people are in the same boat!
Me too, 82 white female here. This is beginning to look like musk wants to enact poor white genocide upon us retired people who depend on benefits SS that we paid for. WTF???????????????????
Yes same here but also it affects older republicans , too. That might make them come to their senses and decide to vote for the Dems in the midterms 🤞💙
Me too 😮
NO MORE EXCUSES release the full ETHICS report
Call the Ethics Committee. I did today.
We need more of this. Leaders getting onto podcasts and streamers
Saving this podcast to listen to again & again. Thank you gentlemen.
Thank You Leader Jeffries!
Please Keep Medicare & Social Security Intact!
Thank you Both for a Great Conversation!
From Canada: Absolute respect to Mr. Hakeem Jeffries and Mr. Brian Tyler Cohen! Inspired!
Thank you!
Please get your millions of uneducated American people the right resources to make better decisions. The meaning of tariffs, inflation etc. …. The How, What, Why…
Ditto from Australia.
I know Canada and thank you! I didn’t realize how many ignorant people lived in America. I was in mourning on November 6th. Now I have my fight back and I talk a lot.
Never give up your freedom of democracy! Please don’t go back! 🙏🙏🙏💙🇺🇸🇨🇦
I admire Jeffries' good intentions, but your Dems will be in the minority, so I'm not sure how successful he and they will be.
@@janetblanc7658hopefully there will be a few sane republicans left who refuse to kiss Donald Trump' s ring or lick his boots. They may be able to stem the tide of this madness. If they don't America will no longer be a beacon of hope for democracy.
This is what makes me so proud of being an American. That there are Hakeem Jefferies growing up in our midst that embody all that is good and worthy of us as Americans…wish we did not have to go thru these next 4 painful years of being dragged thru the mud by this next man ( can’t call him Pres or leader because it would dishonor the title), but having Mr. Jeffries fighting for us makes it bearable. Thank you so much Brian for making a platform where we can see real leaders address us.
Thank you so much for what you are expressing and best wishes from my heart for your success. 💕
Bless you US Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. TY Brian for having him on your show.🙏🏼✅

Bless him for what? He's a corporate Democrat and if you think he'll really stand up for poor working people you have a lot to learn.
@ Bless you
@@mnn1265Hmm, I don't see billionaires like Musk and Bezos singing his praise.
Oh right, that's because anyone who's wealthy, corrupt and/or a sexual predator is supporting Trump, not Jefferies.
"Bless you US Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries" You're blessing an AIPAC-funded, genocide-supporting "leader"? Seriously? Free the U.S. from AIPAC control now.
Hakeem and Brian
Thank you so much for what you both do!
I raised 3 children by myself with no child support. I remember not being able to get a credit card or mortgage. I am 73 and for the first time in my life, my life was calm, I own a house. I am at the high end of social security and that pays my mortgage payment. I get a very small pension and also work part time and pay for an ins gap program. I was so calmly living life and now I can’t sleep at night. If I lose social security, I will lose my house. Yes, I work part time to afford medications and have extra money. I am fine with that because it allows me to live a decent life. As I get older, I can take equity from my home.
Now I don’t know if I should sell my home, refinance my low rate to get cash out for survival. Hate living in an unknown environment.
Same here, am a 76-year-old who is STILL WORKING, living on Social Security and WILL LOSE MY HOUSE.
@@patriciawilson1836sad hugs. Maga folks are going to be laughing and making fun of you both. They voted for this and are happy to see the suffering. Good luck to all of us. I think people in their 50’s need to worry that SS will disappear…if youre in your 70’s, it prob wont affect you as much. Hugs.
Yes thank you Brian for your hard work and dedication to the cause.
Don't make any rash decisions until you see how it shakes out. Surely there are some Republicans left that have a conscience and won't bow to him.
Can you have someone temporarily move in to help with living expenses and the mortgage? Maybe think of it as a "The Golden Girls" situation, because I think many people are going to consider moving in with family, renting out extra space/room to trusted people, or working available part-time jobs if possible, to make it through these turbulent times. Best wishes to you!
Thank goodness there are some sane people that are still standing up and willing to work for us the American people.
Thank you both for keeping us moving forward and for keeping your eyes on the most important concerns that affect most Americans. This next 4 years will be a test of resilience and fortitude that at this moment we can only imagine. You are and will continue to be in my prayers as we battle the devil within. With God by our side we will defeat the demons that will try and destroy our democracy. Stand strong and know you are not alone and we thank God every day for you and others that want only the best for the citizens of our great land.
Rep Hakeem Jeffries thank you for helping bring calm. This past 2 weeks have been difficult for many Americans. One hope would be to look forward to a Jeffries candidacy in 2028.
2024 election should be investigated.
The only one who can start an investigation is Kamala Harris...
Please see the interview with Greg Palast by Mark Thompson (his show). I would post the link but I have already done that three times in this segment and I don’t want to be x’ed out of comments.😬 (I have been booted out for posing links too many times.)😉😊
RNS he stole that.. 😂😮😮
I think it should be investigated because l believe that truth comes out trump and his chronic inferior the election vote against Kamala and trump himself made had stolen it from her just did to. Hillary Clinton back into. 2016 because l believe the the Mueller investigation had proof of it because Trump was still president at the time said there any collusion that is was there any Russia involvement but not the truth fact trumps and Bill Barr was trump attorney general and black out thing in the muller investigation report when to demonstrate congress they the whole truth fact regarding trump administration but. Something smells n this election the vote came to fast on trump and Kamala vote
@@lorilagerstrom4123 I saw Palast's movie. Georgia disenfranchised millions of Black voters!
Brian, you need to push to do interviews like this with every democratic official you can. It’s important to get them exposure and to get their message out!
He has been. Unfortunately it takes a LOT of pushing to get these interviews. Dems in office are not caught up on these independent outlets yet.
His book is on the top of my Christmas list! 🎄👍🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸💙
We need more people like Hakeem Jeffries!!!
This fool keeps on talking, but he didn't do crap for the demos
So glad you are the House Minority Leader, Rep Hakeem Jeffries! Love your values and your stellar communication skills! 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👏👏🏼👏🏽🤗😊😊
Sir I totally respect you but I have a question.. How has being nice to the GOP worked for Dems so far?? It's time to kick a little butt!!
Right out central casting with that oh so genuine voice and cadence. Jesus effing christ… We are doomed if people like this guy.
His communication skills SUCK and his values and "play nice" mentality is why we lost. He needs to step down.
FDR was the greatest President in history.
Thank you Hakeem Jeffries ❤❤❤
I love this podcast! Brian is smart, obviously kind, and generous. He has great guests on the show and treats them well-he doesn’t interrupt them or try to get them to say what he wants them to say. And he asks great questions. It was such a pleasure watching these two-lots of brain power there. Thank you, Brian, and have a great winter holiday season.
Please… No more courteous decorum… No more Kumbaya… We need to be like Rottweilers and fight fire with fire already! Enough..
Rotties rock. Gentle and fierce and loving and smart.
My beloved Dutch Shepherd gets it. There are too few of her kind left on this earth.
52 Dems voting to allow Trump to make any nonprofit a taxed institution - unprecedented individual power.
Anything helping regular folks now become listed as “helping terrorists”
And 52 democrats handed him the keys
THANK YOU!! I'VE BEEN SCREAMING THIS AS MUCH AND OFTEN AS POSSIBLE!!! They have to stop be afraid of being called "mean" by the right. They need to be putting every republican that votes against our best interests or votes for things that will hurt us. Start releasing this information as much and often as possible!! Make Jasmine Crockett one of the loudest voices for us. She's VERY educated and she comes prepared & doesn't get intimated!!!!
WORD!!
Hakeem please run for president. He should have ran 4 years ago. The man is so intelligent and smart and honest
what do you think he is doing right now in that interview??
Are you crazy, this guy is a joke !!!!!!
