100% correct. I am a life long center, right leaning Republican that de-registered from the party due to trump rhetoric and the current behavior of the Republican party. I will NEVER vote for any Republican that supports and continues Trump rhetoric.
You me and millions of Republicans have also left the party and voted Biden in ... at that point in my life ... anyone was better than trump and his cult party
I too was straight and center until I saw Donald Tru.p was actually going to be the republican candidate. A lot of folks don't realize the people that live in the states when he has done business and not paid taxes, we were over his nonsense. It was never about his helping America, it was about him helping himself.
The behavior of the Republican party started before Trump. The constant barrage of lies spread by right wing about Obama was where it started for me but the obsequiousness of the party to Trump just moved them farther away from me. This guy's vision of the BOP would at least bridge the gap a little bit. I am all for a better version of Obamacare and for actual fiscal conservatism rather than just lip service to the national debt when the other party is in charge.
@@929mmr agreed!!! Very sad state, I really hope things will change before it is too late!
That's why we're leaving the party in droves.
Democrats couldn't create such chaos with Republicans if they tried. Love that Trump is taking the GOP down with him. Best thing he has done in 4 years.
Yes, but both parties suck, so there's that. Lot's of Republican looney-tunes and almost as many Democratic obstructionists.
@@susanbradleyskov9179 WTF are you talking about?? This is not a two party issue.
@@susanbradleyskov9179 You must be living on another planet because there is NO equivalency between the 2 parties, the GOP is anti-democracy now. And the Democrats are NOT obstructing anything, they're just trying to pass bills that will benefit average Americans that the GOP is obstructing. Either you haven't been paying attention or you're being just plain dishonest.
@@Leonaza7 No it's not. There aren't really two parties unless you count two kinds of Democrats.
@@CaneFu she's being intellectually dishonest
This is not a center right leaning country, the younger generations are progressive.
Exactly right.
The younger generation doesn't VOTE!
And I am proud of kids today, they are much better at understanding others, they are more opened minded, and care about the world and the people in it.
Yes they are & i believe if Democrats & Progressives ran Congress they would do more 4 the country & eliminated the GOP completely
The democrats would look like a right wing party in Europe. AOC, and Bernie Sanders in Europe would look like ordinary left of center politicians.
Dude lost me at Donald Trump did a lot of things well.. Wow!
Ikr???😲😂😂😂
This guy sounds sincere, but he also sounds like he joined the GOP yesterday and hasn't read any of their "policies" in the last 30 years.
Agreed, just a look at Gop and their actions, you can't support them unless you are whole hearted for their crazy conspiracies or else you are kicked to one side!
I agree, but I'd say it's not ignorance on his part, it sounds more like feigned ignorance to me. There's no way he's oblivious to the big stink of the republican party. He seems like one of those fickle republicans that sees great advantage for himself by walking that tightrope of being reasonable and truthful while still saying whatever he has to say in order to hold onto the support of the far right and the Trump cultists.
This is a MASTERCLASS IN DEFLECTION.
I agree with you💯! Duncan is so full of 💩
Its more important for the politicians to keep their job than do their job
Well put!
Oh the irony when that comes back to bite them.
It shouldn't be talked around what is going in states that are dominated by the republican party concerning voting rights, abortion, etc....
Yes, they are careerists; competency doesn't matter to them.
This guy isn't a MTG but he's not an Einstein either. He's slightly less reprehensible than the average conservative.
Exactly. He is still heavy in dodging the real point of bs and liars in his band of bad actors.
Damn bro didn't see that comparison comjng.
"...timing..." yeah... that's it. Bad time for bad legislation... wait a minute then pass it. Geoff, bad is bad. "I try not to pay attention to D.C." but I want to change things nationally... from where? More GQP pretzel logic! Yeah T****'s tone was the problem...jeez!
This guy is a coward. He’s running away instead of fighting and do his part to save this country.
Her's running away b/c there is simply no reasoning with the GOP base. They are a bunch of ill-informed morons with guns. I would run away too.
Wish you would do your part to save this country by running away. Believing the Big Lie and promoting it has done nearly as much harm to this country as the pandemic. What about what this guy says are you so against? A better health care system than Obamacare? Fair voting laws? Fiscal responsibility? Trump has done more to ruin this country than any other person I can think of in my 50 some years. Actually having common sense real conservative policies like this guy outlined would get me to consider voting republican again.
@@929mmr there is no conservative ideas that work. NONE
Why? Please explain
@@ljules41 It's HIS base.
He says, I certainly hope not. Who is he kidding? Election officials who are doing their job will be replaced if the outcome is not what the party wants. That's the whole reason that section of the law is in there.
Yeah, in the aftermath of an attempted election steal by your own party, you enact laws that rely on the integrity of your party's members to run a fair election🙄 Who dies this guy think he's kidding?
This charleton talks about being fair. In the next breath,commends Trump for stealing 2 justices, young, unqualified, plebes from the Federalist society, W/ no bi partisan support. Oh, and is " concerned about the debt". Every Rep is concerned about debt when Dem are in office. No concern after Trump elected! First thing Trump did was give trillions to the most wealthy Americans, and increased the debt over 2 trillion dollars to do it. Put it right on the ole credit card. Right on top of the check to establish Trump's dillussional "Space Force". Did we really establish a whole new branch of the service to absorb "more" tax $$ to kill innocent people here, and around the globe? Of course we did. Significantly Lowered the corp tax rate almost 14%. Lowered the rate for America's highest earners. Got rid of the inheritance tax! Affecting America's most blessed 200 families. You see, that's $$ that goes to Amer richest families, which in turn, results in large campaign contributions back for the GOP.This is how American govt operates. By definition, it's corruption. Our govt was put up for sale, and the response from around the world was more than receptive. The increasing Amt's of $$ pouring into our politics leaves little doubt: investing in America's corrupt political process is a great investment. And, with the right connections and the placement of $$ in the right hands, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished. Ask Maria Butina! A national hero in her native Russia. But, during the Trump admin, maria was allowed into press briefings and curiously chosen by the pres to toss lobball Q's to further Putin and Trump's desired propoganda. Then, a GOP Congressional boyfriend! So easy! Then, a tour GUIDE, escorting dozens of prominent members of the GOP to fancy trips to Moscow. You know, cultural exchanges and.....other kinds of exchanges.$$ Maria was identified as a foreign spy. But, don't worry, with corrupt friends in high places, like Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, you will be, not at all surprised maria has landed on her feet. In fact, maria now enjoys a place of high esteem within the Russian govt for the work she did with Trump, promoting the interests of Russia. Puts a whole new spin on the American dillussion that, anything is possible in America.
And him saying about Gerrymandering that he would make sure that they "follow the law". The problem is that they always have and have still managed to gerrymander.
Pretty much 😆 😆 he blind as heck
This is just another clueless Republican; Obamacare has saved my life TWICE now. Before the ACA was implemented I couldn't buy insurance because of preexisting conditions. You know what happens to ALL of us when we get older? We develop health problems and that should come as no surprise.
yeah Trump wanted to take away the affordable Care act but he didn't have anything else to replace it with good job 🤗
If you take him at his word he wants to put into place a plan that is better than Obamacare. Just because Trump promised it for 4 years and never came up with anything doesn't mean it can't be done. I would be skeptical of anything Republicans might put forward but would be open minded to something this guy proposed. For me, universal health care would be better than Obamacare. I don't think Republicans are going to put that forward but while Obamacare was great for making insurance more affordable for many and protecting those with preexisting conditions, its not perfect.
@@929mmr better than anything the GQP offered in 30 yrs
Everyone develops health problems as they get older but those problems will not hold off until everyone is 65. That's why we should at least start bringing the Medicare age down.
@@f0xygem Or expanding Medicaid...especially since lots of businesses either can't (like pretty much any small/locally owned business) or won't provide health insurance for their employees if they can avoid it. Raising taxes on those who aren't currently paying their fair share - like corporations - will help that.
I'm in somewhat of a unique position to speak about this, since I was both a physician and small business owner (bailed out of both in 2007). I couldn't afford any type of medical insurance for myself for the 8 years I was self-employed, and, of course, experienced first hand what a nightmare dealing with insurance companies is as a physician. It's not much better if you are a patient - the insurance companies do everything they can to keep the largest slice of the 3-part pie to themselves/shareholders (other two parts being: patients & doctors/hospitals).
I would like to see some type of basic universal healthcare in the US, similar to how education is handled with public schools vs. private schools. Have a lot of extra $$ - then, go pay extra for some "private healthcare".
Yuck! He is trying to sell his book and cares mostly about the tax benefits trumped gave the rich. He talks smooth but with forked tongue.
😆😄
Yeah, I won't be buying his book. Conservatives don't even know what Conservative means anymore. Great that he recognizes a need for drastic change in the Republican party, but I don't see anything drastically new here. Immigration reform to them is still "fear of the other." New policies mean lower taxes for big businesses. Election reform, still means more restrictions. They are still about taking your tax dollars and then privatize Government's job of protecting our real needs; Clean air, clean water, affordable food and healthcare. Vote em all out. Make the GOP start over and work hard for a change. Otherwise, WTF do we pay them for?
Like Pence. He is just as dangerous as trump
There is no such thing as a clued-in republican. They always look through the wrong end of the telescope.
Well said but IMHO they don't even look at things.
They come up with something, that to them is new. When they put it in practice and goes wrong, as always, they blame the democrats, that way they make people believe they did their best but it's someone else's fault.
One example: The invasion of Afghanistan. This was a catastrophe waiting to happen 20 years later after the war president illegally invaded that country. Now it's Biden's fault.
Reps. never take responsibility of their wrong doings.
Sickening and disgusting that damn party is.
Good one!👍😂
I have to disagree with this gentleman, I don’t think middle of the road voters are interested in right leaning polices. He lost me when he said Trumps tax plan was a good policy.
"It's a partisan bill." "Are you familiar with it?" "No."
I am so sick of hearing cons saying 'fiscal responsibility.'
Ikr?😂😂😂
“I certainly hope not”? Shouldn’t he as an elected official “make certain” that there is not an avenue to change electors?
I would certainly HOPE so!
Stop with your common sense.
People want a living wage, healthcare, and a fair government. These are not center right issues.
Define living wadges
Right. He’s very wrong about the country being center right. It’s the opposite. Even most gop voters want those things. They are just stupidly brainwashed on trickle down economics.
@Lumi Eivor ... Do you think someone flipping burgers or a cahsier at Wal-Mart should be able to support one dependent and themselves, or a living wadge[ minimal wadge] should cover just enough to support ones-self?
@@jonathanlindsey8864 yes. It provides a wage. It should be a LIVING wage
@Lumi Eivor See that's the disconnect I have. I can aggree that if someoen works 40 hours a week, they should be able to at least support themselves, (stay above the poverty line); but if it's minimal wadge you have no business getting a pet or having a kid on your own if you can't financially support it. I also get behind a state runned health system, becuas what we have now is basicly criminal.
Talks about GOP 2.0 and then offers the same tired GOP talking points 🤔
Exactly. And if applauding his $2T tax cut for the rich is "shredding" T****, than I think we need to have a discussion about definitions.
What tired gop talking points are you referring too?
You've got to take this guy seriously. He did talk about really working on immigration and not just crying "The wall! The wall!" Also, while GOP policy has been bogus for 35 years (harping on divisive social issues while only catering to the rich and corporations) he's dangerously right about tone & empathy. Even TYT said that if Trump had handled COVID half competently w/ more empathy and less bombast he would be President now. This guy gets that and is straight out of Hollywood casting for a Great White Hope. Go ahead and say he isn't different. He's different _enough_ from the current GOP "product" (DeSantis, Cruz, etc) to be dangerous.
@@jones1618 Good point. But until they come up with new ideas and policies, he's just another cut tax, cut Medicare and cut Social Security republican.
@@jones1618 Oh, he is a serious contender without a doubt. His attempt to claim his positions are "2.0" are what are laughable. They're the same positions of the GOP 6 years ago. Hell, they seem farther right than the GOP was 16 years ago. He would have been more accurate in titling his book "I'm not Donald J. T****."
Brian's concise, precise, focused questions are so refreshing. He doesn't take sidestepping for an answer until it becomes clear that the interviewee will never give a straight answer. So REFRESHING! Keep it up, Brian.
Never trust a wolf in sheep's clothing. Unlike Adam Kinzinger, he is not a moderate Republican.
Agree. He's a decent guy but he also rode the Trump train until after Trump lost the election.
He's very slick and he talks a good game, but the whole notion that Rump's tax policy was fair and admirable is ludicrous.
This party is totally and deeply sick! The roots are deep in darkness...
I absolutely agree w/u!!!😣😟
Defining his Conservativism is a hard question for him to answer. Enough said, Buddy. You haven't got a set of values to stand behind just like all your other party members.
I really appreciate letting the guest talk like this. I can fully hear what they pitch and believe.
He supported the bill in Georgia. That's enough to condemn his "sincerity".
This guy just sealed my decision NOT to buy his book.
You don't have to buy it, but it might be worth a read? The left hand needs to know what the right hand is doing.
@@sheilaboston7051 I hear you and it IS important to know what they're up to, but he's not saying anything that hasn't been said in the last 20 (or 40) years. Unfortunately, they have no new ideas. If you decide to read it please let me know if I'm wrong 😎
He's still a Republican even if he's less devious than the rest of the bunch.
Bottom line, a centrist repub is closer aligned with centrist dems. More gets done with the majority happy with the decisions.
Policy disagreements will always occur, but there are decent Republicans - they've just got lost. Need to remember that there's a difference between ordinary, conservative Republicans and the magats. Many of the former helped put Biden over the finishing line.
He's just as devious as the rest of them. He didn't talk "trumpy" because he wants to sell his book and he knows Brian would go after him with harder questions. Which I'm surprise Brian did not ask so much
so....
Once he said "in my book" I lost all interest in this interview.
Why?
@@jonathanlindsey8864 because I have no interest in what anyone has to say when they are on videos promoting a book.
@@Ampaof3 he promoted it twice, his moral standing, philosophy, and poltical ideology where the main points of the interview. The varybfact that he took the time to talk to Brian an obscure left leaning podcast should mean that he is at least trying to make headway with bi-pardison. As someone who hates both parties, he is making much better progress then people like Mitch mcconnell, or Ted Cruz.
@@jonathanlindsey8864 um so??? I really dont care about all of that...Why are so you so concerned about my interests???
@@Ampaof3 becuase we are getting closer and closer to a time where two major entities that hold a lot of power are getting farther and farther apart. One can't truly hate somthing or one should not reject somthing they don't fully understand: that's arrogance. What will be the tipping point for America, sb180, and for the people's act? If Trump's coup d'etat started a civil war, ( *is that threat over?*) or will the inevitable heat death of the planet cause raidcal green activities to start acting up beucase one party refuses to accept that issue, and the other refuses to fight for it. The real people doing a lot of the hard work in American politics right now, are people who are neither Republican, or Democrat,( and no, not green, or any other faulse notion that you have to be attached to a party or entity to have ideas on how to solve problems) indepents are carrying right now, but they are few and far bwtween; it's only a matter time untill the hole thing branks at this rate.
This is the Leper with the most fingers. Another rat trying to keep from going down with the ship.
He has some lucidity but still very much deluded.
Get him Brian . I love the show.
He hit the nail in the head. Stop the politics and address the real need of the people that votes for the candidates. Orange 🍊🟧📙 should stop stepping in certain grounds like the horrible 911 speech that was all about him and not for those that lost their lifes
Very well said
Orange1 can't help himself. He only thinks his way is the best way. He hears no one else. That's who he is. Proven by his speech today and every time he speaks.
@@marvinsykes When *Mango Mussolini* was president, his most important task was to make his mango-colored arse look good even if he had to lie. That is when he wasn't playing golf or tweeting his lies. Yes, *Mango Mussolini,* aka *Agolf Twittler,* is *The Lyin King.*
I have a policy for you. Let everyone Vote! Compulsory voting! The GOP is scared to death to count all the votes. This guy's swimming upstream. BEAT THE CHEAT!
“I already feel the momentum building”” said every politician who did not, probably ever, feel the momentum building.
I agree "if done right". But then i ask when have republicans ever done anything right? Also he is asked to define conservatism and he eventually admits it is a moving target. That is the whole issue!
I disagree. Of course its a moving target. We have literally seen a shift in 150 years from southern Democrat to Republican and same evolution but neither has a monopoly on policy or hypocrisy. I tend to mistrust anyone who thinks their Party is 100% black and white correct on every issue. I would have preferred he talk about that single mom in terms of daycare and health care rather than just schools and crime but all 4 are major issues with lots of nuanced layers to them.
@@929mmr No. The Democrats aren’t perfect or 100% correct. But they DO believe government serves the public good and therefore TEND not to enter politics strictly for their own good. The Democrats aren’t 100% correct, but the Republicans are and have been 99% wrong for decades.
There are few Democratic voters today who wouldn’t support the 50s Republican platform, the platform it had before the Dixiecrats threw a fit and abandoned the Democrats over civil rights. And it’s been echoes of that same resentment that’s fueled a certain class of swing voter ever since. “They care about THEM more than US.” Ignoring, of course, that the “them” in question have been consistently underserved.
The Democratic Party is a coalition of disparate groups that, until recently, had very little in common outside of the party itself. There is nothing linking environmentalists with LGBTQ activists and nothing linking either with, for example, the BLM movement, other than possibly a few crossover members. The Democratic Party gives them all a place to find common ground.
Its greatest flaw might also be its greatest strength. It tries to make everyone happy and, in the end, pleases no one overmuch. Which is what Democratic compromise usually ends up looking like. Everyone gets something, if not necessarily exactly what they wanted. And of course that truly satisfies NO ONE.
But balancing the needs and desires of widely disparate groups with little enough in common is quite a task. It would be much easier to decide you’re in it for yourself over everything and just vote the way your corporate sponsors would prefer, telling your gullible constituents the knife you thrust into their back is GOOD for them. It’ll toughen them up and they’re actually a superior breed for being willing to walk around with a knife stuck in them.
Republikkkans are a constant moving target because they are constantly running from their own lies. Wagging the dog.
@@929mmr the answer to the question wasn't a moving target when i grew up. Small government, low taxes, "family values" which was always just code for christian priorities. The fact that they have abandoned those principles for "rich people just want to keep their money, here is a culture war so you don't notice" is very much the problems. Republican values not being rooted in anything beyond what is useful in that exact moment is very much the problem. The current supreme court is a perfect example.
@@nateames6147 I agree with your conclusion and it looks like Duncan would agree with much of it as well but even Christian values is a moving target from when you grew up. Would a 3 times married guy have been as popular back then. Abortion is still mostly a big no no but gay marriage was a huge issue about 10 years ago and now more accepted. Womens roles have changed . When you grew up health costs probably weren't so much at the forefront. Things change so you have to evolve. The Republican party has gone the wrong way and some conservatives recognize that while still believing Democrats are on the wrong side of enough issues. There do exist conservatives that are not Trumpists. I no longer identify as conservative but very much wish both parties were more fiscally responsible.
Why didn’t this guy ever answer Brian’s questions, he skirted every question that was controversial.
@Deborah DiCesare He's a Republican. That's one of their specialties(aside from lying about everything of course).
@@garykass114
You are not wrong my friend, RepubliKKKans have finally let their true colors show.
@@deborahdicesare9042 Thank you.
“Center right leaning country?” Come on Brian…that deserved pushback!
a really good interview - politics has morphed into diehard sports fandom rather than a debate on paths to improve the present and future for the citizenry, the country and the planet.
Shout it from the rooftops. Gold star.
Too few wanting to have a discussing and willing to compromise. Too many wanting to "own the GQP" and "crush the conservatives" without talking to their neighbors.
Two ways to get Trump out of our lives: he goes to prison in the next year or....passes?!
It won't be enough - the GOP has decided to be the worst of us since 2016 & they will never change their minds.
I glad u interviewing more GOP.. Interview Manachin and or sinema
It will be absolutely useless, they both are republicans . I will do my part in voting sinema out.
@@nathaliemann3145 vote in the most progressive
@@nathaliemann3145 Their Dems In Name Only
Like those two folks would ever dare take a beating from brian
This guy is pretty reasonable. He has no future whatsoever in the GOP.
Geoff Duncan is quite adept at double-speak... I wouldn’t trust him to clean up the Republican Party
Love this interview. My dream is that we can respect each other enough to focus on the issues and maybe even learn from each other.
I have 2 issues with this interview. These are not based on hard fact, they are simply personal issues.
1. I am very interested in opposition interviews. I am not going to watch a soft chat where both people have the same views. I either agree with both, and don't need to hear it, or I disagree with both and just become very frustrated. Be aware of what their views are, yes, listen to it for hours, no. So I enjoy opposition interviews, because lets face it, Lt. Gov Duncan is putting himself out there on a channel that isn't going to hold his hand. I appreciate that, I admire that. But when half the interview is "I talk about it in the book" you lose me. I don't have time to read a book I want to read, let alone your self inflicted reach around about why you should be the new leader of your party. That's why I have to listen to pod casts, while I do dishes, while I fold laundry, while I drive. If I was going to read your book, I wouldn't need to listen to this interview. When you bring your book up in response to just about every single question, I know this is just an ad for you. Sorry, not buying.
2. The reason I have no time to read a book is I have a job, I have a house to care for, and 5 nights a week I have my grand kids for 8 hours. I DO have a problem with them walking past drug dealers on their way to school (once they are old enough). But that isn't the ONLY thing I care about. My daughter, their mother, is struggling financially, and she still finds the time to worry about more than just herself and her kids. Don't tell me that the only things people care about are the immediate dangers in their daily life. Those might be the most imminent issues, but they are not even close to the only ones. Strange as it may seem, I do not know a single homosexual person more than as a vague so and so that someone else introduced me to once. But I care deeply about LGBTQ+ issues. I am old enough I will not be around long enough to see the ocean at my front porch, but I care with a passion about climate change. I will not be affected at all by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but you can damn well bet I care deeply on that issue. I have assured health insurance for the rest of my life, but I would sell my soul if it would buy medicare for all. Just because republicans seemingly like to think that people are small minded, doesn't mean we all are.
Bravo!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🤨😳😌 I would add a few more things,but,well done
@@blackbolt3685 A few other issues with the interview? Or a few other issues to care about. There are many more I care about, but I was already a little embarrassed about the wall of text I was putting up.
@@blackbolt3685 As AG I wonder what he thought of his 2 previous Senators' insider trading.
@@d.killam3461 😆😄 A few other issues to care about most definitely,the interview was nothing new,he just said it smoother,but,I understand,what you post was good
"in my book"...the only time they step out of line.
As a single mom.. I'm much more concerned about overpriced childcare and rent.. than the waste of money, mostly racist, war on drugs.
This is a person who you can disagree with but still have a civil discussion with. A very rare breed with Republicans and Conservatives today.
This is pretty good. He’s straddling a fine line and can’t really tell the truth, nor will he. Still worth a listen.
I applaud this guy for coming on the show but the moment he said the country was center right he lost me.
So very excellent. Finally a Republican that makes sense and I can respect
I'm impressed. A pub that actually talks issues! I wish him well and hope he succeeds!
"We have real, big problems right?" "I try not to pay attention to what happens in DC." Ok dude, you just immediately said the opposite of what you said.
Exactly!
Even from Australia it is so refreshing to see a GOP politician that is willing to compromise, listen to the other party and still stand firm on their basic parties ideals (even if I don't agree with them)
He didn't say he was willing to compromise. He just said that he recognized Trump lost. The Republican bar has sunk very, very low.
And don't forget that Geoff voted for the very restrictive voting in GA. So he's not innocent!
Thank you for having on a Republican with a calmer voice. He says je believes truth will win out and I hope he os right. However, in every backsliding democracy that have become dictatorships it hasn't. I hope he has success in pulling the GOP out of the darkness.
"Policy over politics," right, but he still says the GOP can do things better....like healthcare. But instead of filling in the shortcomings in "Obamacare" they want to replace it. But they can't and won't, because of politics. Gimme a break.
Why did he call you Jack? I do support Republicans trying to rebuild integrity in the now cult party so although I don’t love this guy, I do appreciate his general intent.
👍
His general intent is to sell you his book that's all
THANK YOU BTC for covering a credible Republican in a respectful manner and asking legitimate questions about POLICY. Excellent job. Once again, you are a leader in your field.
After January 6th I stopped thinking our country will recover from anything. You have people in this nation that are so full of hate towards others that they will not stop until they ruined it forever!!
He started out OK with admitting it was a fair and free election, but he pretty much lost integrity with everything that came out of his mouth after that, like the "good things" Trump did during his presidency....Trump didn't do anything for average Americans. The only thing Trump did for me was give me anxiety pretty much every day of his presidency.
The GOP should have stood firm against Trump in 2015 but at the very least have taken back their party subsequently.
Mr Cohen,
Long time listener, first time caller. I appreciate honest opinions presented with facts accompanied by differing educated opinions. On your video pieces I appreciate the attempt to present your reference material in a context that is true to its original. On your podcast I appreciate that you press your guests with questions that require more than a five word answer. I hope you are able to find more members of the Republican party that are willing to come and answer some honest questions. While I lean left it's nice to see faces that might give me Faith in the humanity of the right side of our country.
Thank you both for this interview! I love being able to hear perspectives contradictory to my own that aren't outright lies or fear mongering - helps to give more context so I can better shape my worldview.
He talks like the ones who aren’t crazy are going to just step on in there and get things cleaned up in the Republican Party. Unfortunately he himself is delusional.
Oooooh this whole interview was to sell his book! He slide that in there!
He understands to do that he has to try to reach out to more people, thus his being on BTC show.
Geoff Duncan truly has a passion for politics and what is good for the people. We need more like him. Hopefully he is still there when we need him.
Great service to our country when you get there other side talking and listening. Whew! Well done!
Well, he seems like a nice fellow, but he makes me think of the law of inertia -- it takes a lot less to maintain a direction than to change it.
I wasn't 100% on board with the Republican Party I joined 50 years ago, but I leaned in their favor, considering my local as well as national issues. I got pretty uncomfortable, with the rise of Gingrich's mean-spiritedness, but I stuck around. I even came to understand that underneath his nice exterior, Reagan was mean-spirited too. It took forty years for me to drop my party membership and to be independently registered. Now, for the last 5 years, I'm an uncomfortably registered Democrat. The total core values aren't very well aligned with my own, but the world is shaggy and there must always bee loose ends. Given my reluctance to change sides and the pace at which I've done it, I think it's a good wager that I'll NEVER be a Republican again. In fact, I wouldn't vote Republican for Mayor or City Council at this point, because I can't trust anyone who hasn't disavowed the party. I don't know if my position owes itself to laziness or spite, but for me, it's NEVER.
Mr Duncan is probably a good public servant and neighbor. I wouldn't vote for him as a Republican under any circumstance. He can thank his party for that.
I disagree with his politics, but compare his intelligence and articulation with the last two Republican presidents. Democrats need to take this GOP 2.0 seriously, find their own relatable leaders in local, state, and federal government, and put them in the spotlight.
I agree. He unlike many of his fellow Republicans was able to articulate and get his point across without attacking Brian. I as an independent center find it a nice change of pace.
Finally some sanity speaking. I like him and what he's saying.
I am a center right voter and I watch you all of the time. This was an excellent interview
This guy is far to reasonable, he doesn't have a prayer in this GOP.
He only sounds reasonable. His whole policy idea is to aim for the exact same racist, deadly shit that Trumpists stand for, but in a nicer tone.
He's all window dressing--no substance.
@@f0xygem thats not what this sitdown was for?
@@bibliopolist Do you know his position or have you read his book?
@@jonathanlindsey8864 gee whiz I didn't know it was required reading when commenting on a dumb UA-cam post.
Sorry Brian… you need Medhi to take over.
Exactly!! Brian has a lot to say when he's on by himself but still like the majority of commentators when confronted with rhe Big Liars. 2/5 must try harder!! Get Mehdi or Jonathan Swann on!!
An educated human. Thank you sir. Exactly what the Dark side Republicans need.
This guy is a dreamer🤣🤣🤣 there is no way that his party moves away from Trump 🤡💩🤡💩🤡 the ship is going down and they are literally willing to go down with it!!!
_"...overreaches in timing. This would be like the Braves, the Atlanta Braves, having a losing season and raising ticket prices the next year."_
No! That's a horrible analogy! This is much closer to the reality of the situation... The Atlanta Braves have a losing season and in the following year they raise ticket prices, cut their whole roster and fill it with bush league players, take advantage of some government subsidy program for small venues by ripping out 75% of the seats in their stadium, and canceling all free TV and radio broadcasts of their games implementing their own pay-per-view/listen network.
The voting laws enacted in Georgia are not simply an issue of bad timing. They're an affront to free and fair elections, you dishonest shill.
Is he running AWAY from something or running TOWARD something ? I gave up on the GOP long ago. He doesn't have a deep accent and never mentioned Christ, so I will not be pessimistic about him.
How about this product: STOP bowing down to T & DeSantis & Abbott & pick a SMARTER candidate in 24, HUH???!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Oh this dude wrote a book that I’ll never read … didn’t quite catch that the first 200 times he mentioned it.
Could this guy be any greasier?
This sad apologist. All trump did was say their own words a little louder.
Thank you BTC. This was good. It is important to humanize the people who are working to drop the “Q” from GQP.
Luv ya Brian! Never miss your programs!
Great interview. It is refreshing to hear a republican with informed views.
Brian you ask great questions and you get to the point. Thank you for your information and your videos. Keep up the great work 👍👏
But bring out what they not want to talk about.
First level headed Conservative Republican I've heard for many, many years!
NEED MORE SANE PEOPLE LIKE YOU SIR good luck
Outstanding interview Brian. I agree with the Lt Governor, Democrats need a functioning republican party. A two-party system is needed to have a functioning government.
But it doesn't have to be the existing broken corrupt GOP of today.
Well one of the major parties: 1. doesn’t believe in the democratic process of honest and fair elections anymore where the loser concedes for the better good of the country and 2. is only about legislative obstructionism at all costs EVEN if it’s a good policy for their constituency and 3. divisive culture war politics that they purposely offer no solutions for, it’s just a tool to fire up and outrage their base into coming out to vote/or for fundraising small dollar donations…
One of the parties stands for absolutely nothing except maintaining power and their current very lucrative jobs.
Churches and charities are not an answer to government programs. Making people beggars asking for a handout, or professing beliefs they don't share to get assistance is beneath an individuals basic level of dignity.
He may be a nice guy but he doesn't get a pass from me. As a citizen of Georgia he should have had the balls to stand up against this legislation.
What part of losing by 7,000,000 votes leads you to believe the U.S. is “center-right”?
Love ❤ you and your style BRIAN..
"DT missed a layup". Great analogy.
The republican party needs more folks like Geoff Duncan in it.
WOW!! A REAL REPUBLICAN THAT REALLY SEEMS TO CARE!!
Good guest and good discussion, despite our differences. Hearing from the opposite point of view is a wise tactic and is critical to healing our country.
If we can renew our tags through the mail, we should be able to vote by mail. One car, one tag. One voter, one vote.
Thank you for the briefing BTC!
We are not a center right country. When people are asked about issues, they are supportive of policies that are far more to the left. Unfortunately people have been conditioned to vote for the Republican party as a matter of cultural identity.
