Not much to get. Conman managed to con uneducated people, using the old fascist playbook. And is about to install the most corrupt government in the history of the united states.
They who? If you mean Democratic politicians, I have to agree. But Katie and Jen do get it. The question is whether the party will ever learn from what everyone else is saying. They keep focusing on select demographics and districts to their detriment. They need to start addressing the interests of all Americans and quit with the identity politics. If they won't do it, then we need someone else who will.
@@leftgrrl democrats will not abandon identity politics because identity politics is the only chance they have to win while taking corporate money and being corporate whores. When you only got one trick, you’ve got to play with that trick.
Two losers discuss why they lost! Too late! 😂😂😂 All of a sudden they are asking questions but they spent a year giving us the answers! Major fail! Oh were we mocking Trump supporters? We just didn't realize. Couple of disingenuous POSs.
@@pithello How about the people voting,use their damn common sense a bit as well. I'm not totally satisfied with Dems not, seeing the light, either. But I sure as hell ain't gonna hand the country over to crazy, lying, maniacs, to make my point. ANYONE, that even had a hint of thought, that djt would be better for them than the current government, are either idiots or wealthy sobs. If you don't see trump for what he really is by now. You're an idiot.
Tell Laken Riley mom immigration ain’t a problem!! Y’all sound ridiculous!! Any American life lost to someone who shouldn’t have been here anyway is too many!!
No doubt that not all immigrants are good but that can be said of all groups. Most of our mass shootings have been white men. Should we demonize all white men? Of course not. It is a fact that most immigrants are law abiding and most crimes are committed by US citizens. Most immigrants come here to try to escape being terrorized or harsh conditions in their original countries. Demonizing all of them for the transgressions of a very few is just not cool. Of course hold criminals accountable. Both citizens and non citizens.
What happened to Laken Riley was horrific. But statistics show that more crime is committed by US born citizens than immigrants. There will always be criminals regardless of where they're from. I think we all agree that something needs to be done to control the border issue.....and it's obvious, its not an easy issue to solve. So many immigrants are trying to escape unsafe or violent conditions. Or hoping for a better life for themselves and their families. I've often thought about what if I had not been fortunate to have been born in this country and was trying to escape from the situations I mentioned above. Hopefully the bill that was killed to help secure the border will now be passed.
Stop being xenophobic. The U.S. flies to other countries and drops bombs almost daily. They've been sending billions to Ukraine and Israel to drop bombs for years. Iraq, Vietnam, Cambodia, Yemen, Syria. None of those bombs were dropped here.
in my 64 years of life experience....I have lived in 12 countries two in North America (Canada and the US) and 10 in Europe. And what I have found to be true is that "immigrants" are more often the hardest working, most law abiding people in most societies I've lived in. I know so many personally that were highly regarded and educated professionals in their country of origin....many with a better command of the english you apparently have and yet are working in unskilled labour jobs to support their families. I've found that many immigrants contribute more to their communities than native born residents...because they actually understand about community. And frankly if you want to look at the bare stats on violent crime in the USA specifically...far more (by orders of magnitude) violent crime is committed by natural born Americans than immigrants legal or otherwise. If anyone sounds ridiculous it's you.
@@Jojo-ow1ml Can't you understand Laken Riley would still be alive if that one illegal immigrant had not come across the border. Apparently to you she's just a statistic.
Dear Democrats: - Stop obsessing over race, gender and sexuality - Stop focusing on Orange Man Bad - Stop being afraid to say the truth even if others get triggered - Stop listening to the Donor class - Focus on the needs of everyday Americans
It's easy for a White man to tell others to stop obsessing about race, gender, and sexuality. That said, it isn't the Dems that are passing literally hundreds of laws related to trans people. They just passed a law in Utah banning trans men in women's high school sports but nobody in the state could find an example of such a scenario. I'm so sick of this End Wokeness take. Kamala NEVER brought up her race or gender. Dem candidates NEVER brought it up either. They campaigned like Republicans AND MAYBE THAT'S THE PROBLEM. This country is hungry for an aggressive Progressive one who stands their ground and doesn't buckle to the passing fads. Lastly, WTF is an everyday American?
Dear voters: - Stop allowing Fox news convince you that Democrats are obsessing over race, gender and sexuality - Find out how much the Biden/Harris has done to make your lives better Advocating for service workers on the picket line Investing in good union jobs Making lawbreaking corporations play by the rules Giving contract workers a raise and better jobs Taking an all-of-government approach to supporting worker organizing Increasing funds to uphold workers’ rights Giving fast-food and outsourced workers a stronger voice at the bargaining table Rebuilding federal employee bargaining rights Public Service Loan Forgiveness Raising pay and improving job quality for child care and long-term care workers Lowering Costs, Tackling Junk Fees, and Promoting Competition Voters, you forget so quickly.
I am hopeful that they ultimately realize how futile trying to sell Americans the value proposition of being sold into globalist totalitarian regime in the name of being "noble" and "sustainable".
We seem to have reached a sad point where Republicans no longer solve problems. We saw them tank the bipartisan border bill so that the border issue could be used in the campaign, and low-information Republican voters ate that up. We're at a point where Republicans use online misinformation and propaganda to manipulate and mislead millions of voters into thinking they alone are going to deliver solutions even as they refuse to do so.
I’m sick of words like implicit bias. Identity politics is dead. I live in a middle class neighborhood and every “so called” minority voted for Trump. The women who are single “preachy sorts” (as James Carville called them) voted for Harris. No one ever polled our neighborhood.
@@leftgrrlI think you missed her point. These women love to say that we have implicit bias, but it's not so much that we have unchecked implicit bias, but that it's projected onto us from those that have the bias themselves and have absolutely no ability to have any insite.
It's definitely a group-enabled confirmation bias. Did Liz Cheney or some other snake in grass exploit their egotistical blind spots? Who told them that flinging over a billion dollars at obnoxiously rich people was not a let-em-eat-cake optic?
This is hilarious. It's like watching from high above, two lab mice in a maze running around bumping into walls, hitting dead ends, backtracking, going over the same familiar territory but never coming close to the exit, when, from your perspective, the pathway is so painfully clear.
I heard a term the other day that describes this: intellectual incest. Folks like this only associate with other people who think exactly like they do so they don’t get a mix of thought to dilute their own intellectual gene pool.
Americans are feeling economically vulnerable and more so every day as the wealthy class keeps taking more from us. I think all the cultural and class wars are simply because we are on the verge of ruin, and it’s a primal reaction to scarcity. Restoring a path to sharing in the American prosperity is the key out of this mess.
Totally agree - I think the question is why Dems and liberal pundits didn’t get/feel/hear it. It was so obvious if they got out of the bubble and also went on non-media platforms to talk WITH others. To also combat all the misinformation instead of only being outraged by it. Doing more Q/A with listeners, figuring out better ways to listen and engage.
@@notlih11 WHO of Dems and liberal pundits EFFECTIVELY combatted all of Trump’s lies and false narratives and liberal caricatures. I think only Pete Buttigieg but his hands were also tied because he couldn’t be out there more speaking directly to that consistently and constantly because of his Secretary position. Biden was great at governing but the worst (and least accessible) communicator and explainer. The comm strategy was more than a disaster and failure. I think DNC leadership needs a total overhaul; they have been out of touch for at least a decade now
@@yvonnefarrell1029 That just creates a dependent class. You want programs that help people get on their own two feet so that they can have pride in being able to take care of themselves.
Guys, abortion cannot be your main cause and campaign platform. It motivates women, not men as much, and not even all women. The economy and crime affect everyone. That needs to be the starting point of any campaign, and in particular this time.
Oh..and sorry..the abortion thing is a huge issue. I am old enough to remember when young women died needlessly back in the 60s or were forced into abusive relationships because of unwanted pregnancies and social expectations. Seeing us returning to a time of controlling women's reproductive health needs is horrifying. When I was 10, my mother had to carry a dead fetus for weeks because removing it qualified as an abortion. I heard her cry nightly and watched her get sick in front my young eyes not fully understanding for years what was happening. This whole thing is ridiculous. As a healthcare professional I promise that abortions are not about killing new born at all. In fact, I would see doctors going to extensive measures to try to save preemies that I wondered why we were trying so hard to save a life that obviously God had not meant to exist. But that's another whole story about medical ethics. I even witnessed multiple heart, digestive, and airway surgeries on a new born preemie with just a nub of a brain stem for a brain. Why? Because the mother wanted everything possible in spite of that child probably not surviving for too long anyway and no real hope of any meaningful awareness and interaction. Medical professionals do not take letting any sign of life go easily. I really wish that for everyone's well being that y'all quit calling some differentiated cells a heart beat when there is not yet a heart and even more you would allow the person carrying the potential life and their healthcare provider make decisions based on what is best for that family/individual. It is not the only political issue but it is a big one where it comes to controlling someone else's life decisions. Now with this next administration poised to step in, women are basically being told boldly by obnoxious young men that their bodies are for men to do with what they want. Think about that for a while and put yourself in a young woman's place. Handmaid's Tale does not really feel all that far fetched, does it?
@@AWilliams-m6e Thanks for your insights, and I agree with all of it. My comment was about campaign strategy, not about changing the Democratic platform. I strongly support the choice of women in all issues that affect them, and it pains me greatly to see where Trump and his patriarchal fellow-travellers want to take society and the rights of women.
Joe Biden was an FDR/Truman Democrat. He talked about building back better. He got an infrastructure law passed. He stood up to Russia. He wanted to modernize Amtrak. He got insulin prices reduced. He beat Big Pharma over Medicare negotiating drug prices. He likes ice cream. So-called progressives tried to pass a hair anti-discrimination law. Hair? I know it was mainly aimed to protect black people with dreadlocks, but I call it the "Molly Jong-Fast Act."
New rule for me. I am not responding at all to anything anyone says - only what they do. I don't have the bandwidth to worry about what comes out of their mouths.
@@AWilliams-m6e well in terms of Trump and Trumpism...his pathology has been spreading like a pandemic...that's how it works...and it effects those with the weakest immune systems and those who are already sick themselves.
This is a good motto to live by, yes. Now that I’m older I realize how true this is with everything, even stuff like dating. For example, people say they like kindness and humor, but really all men cherish beauty and women chase guys with money, and that’s it.
59:17 Earlier in the conversation you talked about not understanding voters, then you talked about the morality of supporting transgender people. That’s an example of not understanding how a lot of Trump voters feel. They don’t understand why there is so much emphasis on pronouns and gender for a small part of our society but not enough concern for what’s important to them. Why don’t they matter? They can’t afford food and housing. Where is the moral outrage for them?
9:30 Just an observation "Trump nominated the SCOTUS members who ruled for an abortion ban". So factually, the court didnt ban anything, they just said the constitution doesnt grant the federal govt the power to overrule the states.
Badly stated. In many cases the federal government *does* have the Constitutional power to overrule the states. And Dobbs ruled in favor of states that were enacting abortion bans.
@@Reelworthy Ruled by a Bush 43 appointee citing an English law passed under the reign of King Charles. Not Charles III - Charles I, who was overthrown and beheaded by Oliver Cromwell.
As a 50ish straight white woman, I don't care as much about abortion rights as I do about our unsecure border. I've also looked at the nightmare now unfolding in some of our best cities, some now being "sancuary" cities. Unlike the media sitting behind their desk, I've been in these streets, and as a nurse, i get a front row seat to the madness. In the community, ive seen what the drugs can do to a person and their families. I've taken care of victims of violent crimes of all sorts. I've had to beg and persuade truly ill individuals to please come to the hospital for care when i see them in home care but they worry because they cant and wont be able to pay the bill but, then I see the "illegals" receiving free healthcare and being "boarded" in my hospital for MONTHS because Federal laws junking up the wheels won't allow us to discharge them... It's a real mess. Do you ladies know or wven care just how expensive that is to our citizens? Have either of you ever received a bill in the mail after a hospital stay? It's outrageous even to those of us who pay our freakin insurance premiums! You ladies seem terribly out of touch. Sometimes, i listen to you talk now, Katie and it gets me so upset! I used to watch and listen to you every day after work. Ugh. I cant believe I thought you knew everything! In all fairness, that was 20ish years ago. I think I stopped watching TV and going to movie theaters around 2010? Ive been forming my own opinions since then. The left leaning media only shows far,far right leaning whackadoodles. The right leaning media only shows far, far left leaning whackadoodles. The left campaign was lead by a talking head who was very bad at it. Watching those democratic rallies.... was difficult. The "entertainment" that had to be paid in order to fill the seats shows how detached from reality that party has become. And, so raunchy. For some reason though, it appears the people of the left respond best to entertainers and others who get paid to ACT for a living. They just cant handle reality and the only ones who feed their delusions are the ones they pay to say what they want to hear. At the end of the day, i think most Americans are tired of all the special interest groups. Most of us work hard for what we've earned and would like to keep it. We want fairness for all so nobody cries foul. We are Americans, and that's our group. We need to protect our land and keep our people safe from those on the far right and those on the far left.
You are so right on! Katie is so out of touch, ‘cool kids table’ lmao!!! Wack job table is more like it. Core values for most of us is our families which have been under attack with open borders, defund the police, policing language, and men in our bathrooms! It is not about not trusting women to lead but how can you trust someone that can’t answer the simplest questions and cackles like a chicken to avoid answering questions. The border bill is on the democrats not getting it done because the urgency of the need was caused by them!
On the topic of sexism and implicit bias… is there a place where a woman may not have the stature to lead the country and another woman would? Can we not share our true opinions of the abilities of a man or woman w/o being accused of implicit bias?
Katie, to what you mentioned. I think a huge reason Trump won is because he and many people in his coalition actually went to many rural communities and spoke to people while the left was so focused on what he said. They ignored who he spoke with and the concerns he identified. The left has become very condacending to the working class.
My Columbian friend who came here legally and worked so hard for years to support his family resents undocumented people for taking advantage of the system and also push down his wages- and said most of his friends feel the same way.
It's the difference of being talked AT vs being talked TO. And Jen, they LIED about what he said. Good people on both sides? Seriously we are smart enough to go look at the original clip. Trump DID go talk to the average person, did tons of podcasts and was authentic. Maybe you didn't like his authenticity, but those who watched him, most of them appreciated that he just was who he was. He didn't change based on who he spoke to. He listened and even took some very great ideas seriously. Trump has never been against all abortion. He has said so a thousand times. The news just spun it in a different way. People can fact check that. Again, the media lost because they were not telling the truth. People get to vote for their State Leadership. So if it's important to them, they can vote those legislators out. Oh that implicit bias stuff is a crock of bologna. She doesn't have the stature. She has ZERO experience in successfully managing foreign affairs. You slammed Trump for being a misogynist, but never addressed that Kamala's affairs led her to certain offices or connections. Think Ukraine, think the boarder Czar... yes that's again a lie from the media that she was not given that title... again... something every American can fact check. So stop LYING. Jen, most Republicans and even some Democrats voted against it. You guys kept blaming Trump. It wasn't Trump, it was a crappy bill. Do you know how much money actually went to the boarder vs other countries? Not even mentioning the terrible boarder policies. And see Katie, you're still doing it. You calling him a racist for the eating dog and cats comment. That is not bigoted. Most Americans do not think that is bigoted. The conversation needs to be that 30,000 people of a different culture, who don't know our laws, were dropped in the middle of a town who could not handle the influx. It wouldn't have mattered if it was Hattians, or some other country. If they dropped 30,000 of ANY culture who did not know our laws this would be an issue. Can you see that? They are bringing migrants into towns for industries, paying them less and with less regulation. That's just wrong. How do you manipulate people getting murdered? How do you manipulate Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes in several states. This has NEVER happened before. Why are you defending these numbers when we've had the largest migration in HISTORY in the last 4 years. Can you admit that? We don't want to be gaslit anymore. The boarder number might be down now, but that is not what HAS happened. And it happening all over the world. You may very well be reporting that, and I hope you are. The populations of ALL countries who have been overrun by migrants are rising up to say NO MORE. Maybe if we taught our kids the value of hard work, and that a college degree is not ALL that makes them successful, and maybe if we paid them what they deserve to be paid... then they would WANT to work in those places. It's much bigger than, American's don't want to do those jobs. If they pay enough, they'll do them. I love Jen that you are introspective right now. I would say standing strong to protect illegal immigrants over your legal citizens is not going to go well. Spending other people's tax dollars on illegal immigrants over spending those tax dollars on your people, is not a winning strategy. You saying that "I" knew Trump was racist and sexist and looked the other way is 100% incorrect. I looked into FACTS, I took into account the age in which he was born, I looked at his friends (and he has friends of every nationality and color). I looked at who was lying about him repeatedly. I mean, you never talk about the African Americans, who he won in increasing numbers, that Hispanics that he won... can you please just take a step back and look at the logic of what you are saying? And yes, it is individuals you are criticizing. You are disappointed in ME. And you and I have not even had a conversation. You don't know what color my skin is, you don't know my history, you don't have the facts Biden has said some VERY racists things specifically, but because he's a Democrat, he got a pass? He's automatically not racist? I feel very bad about the way he was treated. And he should not currently be President. Can we talk about that? You're right, you don't know what her position is on Gaza, because she wasn't AUTHENIC about this issue or any issue. Her flip flops were every day. She took policies that Trump had already announced and didn't give him credit for them. Of course he is concerned for Gazans. Everyone is. They despise Hamas right now. Hamas is stealing their aid, shooting them for trying to fight for food for their family that Hamas stole when the aid trucks came in. Can this have equal coverage? There are even Palestinians (not Hamas protesters) who WANT Israel to finish Hamas and help them rebuild and keep Hamas out. They love Israel for getting this horrible regime out of their territory. Katie, the blow job thing? Did you watch the video? I just watched it because I hadn't heard that and always like to verify. He was clearly (in context of what he was saying) trying to bring the mic higher and it wouldn't move, so he was mimicking having to bend over and speak into the low mic. Good grief. Where is your mind? If you've ever spoken on stage, you try to get the mic to move up if you are taller person. His wouldn't move up. Go back and watch it with THAT in mind. Then judge accordingly. It wouldn't even have made sense to simulate a sexual act (which he has never done) at that point in the speech. Oh so much more. Trump has condemned white supremacists OVER and OVER again. Why do you keep brining that up? Remember the black vote? The Hispanic vote? The Muslim vote? Even though you won't talk about how Trump condemned WS and Nazi's over and over, you never report on that, but we all can look up FACTS. That's what the news is suppose to be, not obfuscating facts. Ladies, I wish you the best. I just jumped over here because of a clip I saw and I wanted to see it in context (like we all should do every time) Bottom line is. Report it ALL. If it's good about Trump, report that too. If it's bad about Kamala, report that too. It's the one sidedness that we are all so tired of. Both sides.
I heard when phone banking in Montana that once abortion rights were enshrined in their constitution they were not worried about a nat’l ban - so no threat from Trump & they could vote for him
My view from Canada: The way I see it, the last three nominations in a row were not truly democratic. The Hilary Clinton nomination was heavily influenced by the top party brass because there was a general feeling she deserved it. Likewise with Biden, the powers that be decided he deserved it for his loyalty to the party, and due to missing out on his chance to Hilary Clinton four years earlier. With Harris there was not even the pretense of democracy. She was anointed. Next time the Democrats would be well advised to allow the process be more democratically legitimate.
Are you kidding me Katie that we didn’t think we were “ invited to the cool Kids table”. That says it all. You 2 actually believe you are the “ cool ones in America”. What a joke???
I don't see it. I didn't see anything false in the interview. In fact, they talked more about what more the Biden administration might have done better. Do you just not want to hear from anyone?? Do you just not want to hear discussions at all?
@@AWilliams-m6e an honest conversation would had talked about Biden's dementia, and who's really running things .....and why they were complicit in hiding it...and still are.
They don’t understand that Roe was a terrible decision, even if you support legal abortion. Dobbs corrected a mistake. It is not going to end abortion.
The liberal media should accept significant blame for the loss. People on the center-left and center-right voted Republican this election. Theirs were votes for capitalism, not socialism; free speech, not censorship; meritocracy, not DEI programs; equal opportunity, not equal outcomes; a secure border, not an open one; and energy independence. This was not about a “woman” or “sex” but about the candidate that represented these basic ideas. Getting back to what made America great.
When it comes to immigration, my concern is that the U.S. could turn into basically a 3rd world nation. The country could look more like Venezuela than the U.S. I know. Having said that, mass deportation is a terrible thought. I would settle for a much reduce influx of immigrants and perhaps make it at least partially selective where there is a percentage of professional people that can get in the line.
_"...my concern is that the U.S. could turn into basically a 3rd world nation."_ It already is with how you don't have universal healthcare and put guns ahead of the lives of children
That is what already exists with Biden getting frustrated with trying to get congress to make a more permanent legislative move that he finally penned an executive decision. Immigration has been more controlled in the past months. Sadly so many people hear the message put out there that "the borders are open" and don't look to see how real that is. I find it interesting that the they are speaking that being born here does not make you a citizen if your parents are not considering that concept would mean that most of us are not really citizens. A real twist on this is that would make only native Americans and those who went through naturalization processes the only real citizens.
@@monkeyzorr3090but not to worry. With dtrumpf coming back into office and such an erratically personality, I suspect that will scare off some immigration again. However, I can pretty much promise you won't get many "professionals" as you put it. I am afraid the optics of what you said here sounds elitist and prejudiced.
If people come to our shores seeking protection from the violence in their countries of birth, should be considered and allowed entry and to get jobs and become citizens, but only if the pass thorough background checks. Many illegals are students and workers who have overstayed their visas.
Enforce employment laws and much of the issue disappears. Employers are knowingly keeping undocumented workers on the payroll. The occasional raid is just for show and carries little consequence for employers.
I recently viewed richard wolff's commentary on the community church of boston channel ( youtube) and it is a very revealing and direct assessment of where our country is and where it mighty be going! This man seems eminently qualified to say whwat he is saying! Perhaps others will enjoy his perspective and take on our current state of affairs! No matter one's politics ,his commentary is one that should be heard by everyone, in my opinion!
I get that and agree but I am afraid that magas will just scream communist and not really listen to the message about needing to reel in the running a muck capitalism that as history has shown us can send us into deep depression if some regulations are not maintained.
Jen Psaki is bought by corporate, establishment Democrats, also pro-corporate, pro-wealthy elites. You're suggestion is very naive. Wolff would never want to be questioned by another pro-corporate, status-quo TV host that Couric is!! NEVER.
I thought these 2 women, though blind to the elephant in the room (the sexuality/female body angle is about nothing but…. abortion; while an enormous part of the rejection of the left is the teen transgender “care”, sanctuary states…) were moderate and really trying, as they said, to think against their bias. At 15:50, the “Kamala would have won if she had a penis » makes me run away (laughing but still…). I was a staunch feminist before they were even born. But this is soooooo lame !
Leave it to the states??? The Constitution, Says it’s a state matter, like criminal justice, execution abortion. Any powers not innumerated in the constitution are left to the state
It may be hard to believe, but Trump's campaign was disgusting, nevertheless, a significant amount of the voters found the Democratic party more disgusting than Trump. Mostly because Trump was yelling that Democrats are disgusting. Also having an aligned radical Propaganda network works.
Oh, we didn’t need Trump or anybody else to tell us how disgusting Democrats are 😂… but clearly you’re another one of those elitist who think we’re all just uneducated and can’t think for ourselves right. You’re part of the disgusting just saying.
You should talk with citizens who have to live with the results of these decisions. When upper class or wealthy people are removed from experiencing this they don't know what they are talking about.
Here we go again- Jen did NOT address the border issue- why the administration take any meaningful action on it from 2021 through 2024. Why did they wait to the first execute order a few months before the elections! I am a DEMOCRAT and until we talk ACCOUNTABILITY for our mistakes FORCEFULLY AND CLEARLY, we are not going to be the party to vote for! Come on Jen! Come on! Katie you could have pushed back harder!!!!
@ you are missing the point, also I am as dumb as you think I am. Why was Biden able to issue an executive order close to the end of his administration to close border, why didn’t he do it between 2021 and until the middle of 2024. After Congress was not able to pass the immigration reform at the beginning of his term and after the Covid restrictions were removed , which is after 2021, why didn’t he take the decisive action he took in 2024. Let’s call a spade a spade! If we cannot own up to our mistakes, how are we supposed to move forward. Also, why were were the democrats in congress not able to apply pressure on Biden to issue that order once we were becoming aware of the disaster at the border. We need to ask those hard and uncomfortable questions! I am a democrat which does not mean I cannot criticize the administration when criticizing is due! The same I will be very outspoken on why the democrats were intentionally misled about the true mental decline of Biden, moths if not years before it all came out. The democrats are SOLELY responsible for the humiliating loss we suffered. It was much worse than 2016 and we have no one to blame but the current administration and leadership of the Democratic Party, period!!!!
@ couple of things- I am not as dumb as you think or illiterate on civics! Please answer this SIMPLE QUESTION- why the Biden administration wait until the middle of 2024 to issue the Executive Order to close the border. Yes I understand that he offer immigration reforms in 2021 and yes the COVID restrictions were removed at the end of 2021. What took him so long to take more decisive and forceful action on the already overwhelmed border?????? Also why were the Democrats not able to pressure the administration to be more responsive to the border crisis! If we cannot take accountability for the administration’s mistakes we will never win elections! Our loss was humiliating, worse than 2016. And we have none to blame but the current administration and the democratic leadership which chose to ignore the problems that most Americans are hurting from and the fact that Biden’s mental acuities were failing way earlier than it was finally OBVIOUS! I am a democrat and am allowed the criticize our party when criticism is due, I will or blindly support it, otherwise we will never be able to change and win elections!!! Period!!!

I honestly think you’re giving the public too much credit. This Churchill quote is being banding around a lot but I think it holds water. “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.“
As a middle-aged white man in the U.S., I recognize the advantages I’ve benefited from over the years. If you’re looking to secure support from young men like my twin sons currently in college, I’d suggest focusing on the importance of supporting all young people, regardless of gender, rather than emphasizing support for young women specifically. How about a message like this: I believe that supporting the next generation means uplifting all young people, regardless of gender. Ensuring equitable opportunities for everyone helps build a stronger, more inclusive future.
@neonlooiz, your obsession w/identity politics and condescending attitude toward people who disagree is exactly why the democrats lost. How did Obama become president if there’s racism? How are there women, immigrants and people in color succeeding in business and other fields? Conservative people of color will say systemic racism is nonexistent. What are you not able to achieve that oppressive white people have achieved? Oppression exists in China, North Korea, etc these are nations suffering from true tyranny.

Another middle-aged white man here. I have benefited from nothing. Based on my qualifications, I'm in the top 10% of my field, yet I get passed over by DEI hires that have earned nothing. It's white men like you that practice self-hatred that's the real problem. I know you've been brainwashed to believe otherwise, but there's nothing wrong with being white.

Even if you got lucky as a white man, stop practicing self-hatred. There is nothing wrong with being white.

In my area, the abortion issue was rated as important, but by the pro-life side. It never occurred to these two women that a female wouldn't be on the unlimited abortion side of the argument.
Two white educated women who still don’t understand the most simple concepts. We want lower prices (from eggs, butter, milk and fuel) safe streets, a fair judiciary, peace in the world, etc, etc. it’s okay to have abortion in the hands of the state and we see the DOJ and FBI who lost their focus etc, etc. Most people want a smaller federal government and more power with the states. Fewer regulations that prevent smaller businesses to build from the ground up. Harris is not a leader and everyday people, even in other countries, know she cannot be taken serious. We don’t want elitist who just seems to hate working class people and call us names like Obama, Clinton and Biden has done. We are Americans with a different philosophy on how our government works for us. I’m a first generation American and a conservative and I want a government that doesn’t look for ways to go after free speech and doesn’t want to defund the police and elevate criminals. These two are so out of tune with most Americans they will never understand us so to the new Democratic party. You went to far and it made America’s believe that if you lie to us, ignore our plight, and do everything that you accuse Trump of doing we see just more of you willing to lie to us and being a threat when it’s obvious to us that you are the real threat.
2 reasons for the loss. one, you all live in a bubble of me, me, me and it is me!!!! two, you look down on high at the vast majority of middle Americans and label them with terms like bigots, garbage and so mcuh worse. The complete disconnect from what is really going on with ordinary, working class Americans is beyond belief and woe betide any of them think differently as you will attack them with a vengeance and you are supposed to be the caring party! Not a chance...
If immigration were easy to solve, somebody would have figured it out. It is my feeling, separate from my pick for President, that we need to stop this mass exodus into our country. I am getting older. I want medicine to be there for me years from now and for ER's not be so broken from immigrants with no insurance using them as their general physicians. I've always thought there should be a think tank of the most brilliant minds that could solve some of these problems. This election result made me realize I do not know my country anymore.
Most people that run on it don't want to solve it because its a great issue to campaign on. Trump was the first one on either side that actually tried to do something about it and actually got something done. Enough so that people realized it was possible. Our representatives have been failing us for a long time.
19:46 Assuming that everyone else regards the table as the "cool kids' table", and assuming that they wish they were invited to the table, is not necessarily correct... And might be a part of the problem 🤷🏼
I do wonder why no one talks about the fact that the morning after pill and medical abortions (via pill, which can be effective up to 10 weeks) are not affected by abortion bans
Id give the Democratic leadership a stethoscope to listen to our nations heartbeat and admonish them to keep their finger on the pulse of the electorate. Inside the echo chamber is not the USA. Also tutorials on modulating tone and body language responses to those who have different views than your world view. Its fixable, but humility must come first.
It bothered many Democrats that the Democrat Convention pulpit was given to so many Republicans. This was a time for America to hear from candidates in races important to the Democrat Congress. Just a thought.
I worry when Trump is gone. The Dems will start the same demonization routine of the new candidate aided and abetted by their leftist dominated media, entertainment and indoctrination err university facilities and the Republican won't have the resilience that Trump had. There may not be another fair election.
Better switch back to paper if we wanna be sure. Whoever holds the keys to the voting machines has dominion over the country… What’s the company that runs it called again?
Martial law will be declared, parties in opposition to the GOP will be outlawed, and the 2026 midterms will produce a Congress with 435 Republicans in the House and 100 Republicans in the Senate, with the GOP winning 101 percent of the vote nationally - 103 percent in some states and districts!
Abortion is a concern that has majority support, but the economy affects everyone everyday. A tax cut for everyone under a reasonable threshold of income instead of picking winners and losers by sector whether it’s students, seniors, first time homebuyers or small biz owners. We needed a bigger and broader appeal to all. The continued redistribution of wealth toward the top would suggest this to be fair.
Interesting discussion, but the more important question is what is the democratic party going to do with regard to this election loss. And why did they lose what should have easily been the most winnable election in a long time,against perhaps the most flawed candidate in US political history. Clearly the primary cause of the election loss was a failure of voter turnout. In 2020 democratic turnout was 81 million vs. only 73 million in 2024. A drop of about 8 million. Whereas republican turnout in 2020 was 74 million vs 76 million in 2024. An increase of about 2 million. In short an epic failure of voter turnout by the democratic party. One has to blame the operational leadership of the democratic party for the failure of voter turnout. Is that not their primary job in an election? If so, they failed miserably. If a Mike Bloomberg with his professional staff had been running the democratic operations, it is inconceivable that this type of disasterous voter turnout would have happened. Time for a cahnge in the nice guy "political hack" operational leadership of the democratic party. Time to brig in some real business type operational leadership. Perhaps a Melinda Gates, or a Mark Cuban, or a Stever Ballmer, or even an Anthony Scaracucchi. Until the democrats do something like that, they will continue to wander in the wilderness and continue to lose election after election.
Weird how those Democrat voters also didn’t turn out in 2012 or 2016 - only in 2020. Who would have thought that Biden (campaigning from his basement) was so much more inspiring than Obama, Clinton, or Harris.
"At no point in this rambling, incoherent response were they even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone here is now dumber for having listened to it."
Was there a lower turn out? Or were there ballots purged or provisional ballots discarded? A simple email or text system to have people confirm their vote then compare numbers to confirm no irregularities. I think that's fair. Just confirm this since we have doubts after many states tried to purge voters off their registries.
It is the “wish-washy” policies that kill most innocent lives and foster the most wars. Everyday middle easterners living in the US just want peace and security in the region.
and some women who have the few high level jobs don’t realize what regular women go through. it’s hard to get ahead. you have to have more degrees then men , look perfect etc!!
I am so tired of this "doing jobs Americans don't want to do" rhetoric. They're doing jobs Americans wants to be appropriately paid for. Instead you're siding with the wealthy business owners who are undercutting wages by exploiting desperate foreigners instead of giving living wages to actual Americans.
There used to be a show called "Point/Counterpoint" where both sides of an issue were discussed in a non-political way. What if we focused on the key issues (economy, abortion, immigration, foreign aid, LGBTQ+, climate, education, healthcare, etc...) and did a deep dive on each? It might also be time to require a knowledge test in order to vote. You have to have a certain understanding to get a driver's license or other certification - why not one for voting rights so people can't say they didn't know?
Goodness… believe me when I say that conservatives hope that you two never change, and that all the “it’s so hard being the educated party” people in the comments never change as well… lol absolutely clueless why the Dems actually lost, and doing your best to make sure it keeps happening. 😂 Saw your comments on Bill Maher’s show… what a bitter old woman you’ve become. Trust me… conservatives are not jealous of you, and we are not bitter… NOTHING about you is appealing to us. But yeah… keep going, can’t wait for Vance in 2028, and again in 2032, then probably Don Jr in 2036 😂

Not much to get. Conman managed to con uneducated people, using the old fascist playbook. And is about to install the most corrupt government in the history of the united states.
They who? If you mean Democratic politicians, I have to agree. But Katie and Jen do get it. The question is whether the party will ever learn from what everyone else is saying. They keep focusing on select demographics and districts to their detriment. They need to start addressing the interests of all Americans and quit with the identity politics. If they won't do it, then we need someone else who will.

Tell Laken Riley mom immigration ain’t a problem!! Y’all sound ridiculous!! Any American life lost to someone who shouldn’t have been here anyway is too many!!
No doubt that not all immigrants are good but that can be said of all groups. Most of our mass shootings have been white men. Should we demonize all white men? Of course not. It is a fact that most immigrants are law abiding and most crimes are committed by US citizens. Most immigrants come here to try to escape being terrorized or harsh conditions in their original countries. Demonizing all of them for the transgressions of a very few is just not cool. Of course hold criminals accountable. Both citizens and non citizens.
What happened to Laken Riley was horrific.
But statistics show that more crime is committed by US born citizens than immigrants. There will always be criminals regardless of where they're from.
I think we all agree that something needs to be done to control the border issue.....and it's obvious, its not an easy issue to solve.
So many immigrants are trying to escape unsafe or violent conditions. Or hoping for a better life for themselves and their families. I've often thought about what if I had not been fortunate to have been born in this country and was trying to escape from the situations I mentioned above. Hopefully the bill that was killed to help secure the border will now be passed.
Stop being xenophobic. The U.S. flies to other countries and drops bombs almost daily. They've been sending billions to Ukraine and Israel to drop bombs for years. Iraq, Vietnam, Cambodia, Yemen, Syria. None of those bombs were dropped here.
in my 64 years of life experience....I have lived in 12 countries two in North America (Canada and the US) and 10 in Europe. And what I have found to be true is that "immigrants" are more often the hardest working, most law abiding people in most societies I've lived in. I know so many personally that were highly regarded and educated professionals in their country of origin....many with a better command of the english you apparently have and yet are working in unskilled labour jobs to support their families. I've found that many immigrants contribute more to their communities than native born residents...because they actually understand about community. And frankly if you want to look at the bare stats on violent crime in the USA specifically...far more (by orders of magnitude) violent crime is committed by natural born Americans than immigrants legal or otherwise. If anyone sounds ridiculous it's you.
@@Jojo-ow1ml Can't you understand Laken Riley would still be alive if that one illegal immigrant had not come across the border. Apparently to you she's just a statistic.
Dear Democrats:
- Stop obsessing over race, gender and sexuality
- Stop focusing on Orange Man Bad
- Stop being afraid to say the truth even if others get triggered
- Stop listening to the Donor class
- Focus on the needs of everyday Americans
Shut up with the first point, you don’t throw groups under bus
It's easy for a White man to tell others to stop obsessing about race, gender, and sexuality. That said, it isn't the Dems that are passing literally hundreds of laws related to trans people. They just passed a law in Utah banning trans men in women's high school sports but nobody in the state could find an example of such a scenario. I'm so sick of this End Wokeness take. Kamala NEVER brought up her race or gender. Dem candidates NEVER brought it up either. They campaigned like Republicans AND MAYBE THAT'S THE PROBLEM. This country is hungry for an aggressive Progressive one who stands their ground and doesn't buckle to the passing fads.
Lastly, WTF is an everyday American?
Dear voters:
- Stop allowing Fox news convince you that Democrats are obsessing over race, gender and sexuality
- Find out how much the Biden/Harris has done to make your lives better
Advocating for service workers on the picket line

Not true. There was always a “USA” chant at every Kamala rally.
We seem to have reached a sad point where Republicans no longer solve problems. We saw them tank the bipartisan border bill so that the border issue could be used in the campaign, and low-information Republican voters ate that up. We're at a point where Republicans use online misinformation and propaganda to manipulate and mislead millions of voters into thinking they alone are going to deliver solutions even as they refuse to do so.
both wrong
I’m sick of words like implicit bias. Identity politics is dead. I live in a middle class neighborhood and every “so called” minority voted for Trump. The women who are single “preachy sorts” (as James Carville called them) voted for Harris. No one ever polled our neighborhood.

I heard a term the other day that describes this: intellectual incest. Folks like this only associate with other people who think exactly like they do so they don’t get a mix of thought to dilute their own intellectual gene pool.
Absolutely!!!
Americans are feeling economically vulnerable and more so every day as the wealthy class keeps taking more from us. I think all the cultural and class wars are simply because we are on the verge of ruin, and it’s a primal reaction to scarcity. Restoring a path to sharing in the American prosperity is the key out of this mess.
Agreed, but tRump is hardly the solution. Please read my comment here about uneducated voters voting against their own interests.
Totally agree - I think the question is why Dems and liberal pundits didn’t get/feel/hear it. It was so obvious if they got out of the bubble and also went on non-media platforms to talk WITH others. To also combat all the misinformation instead of only being outraged by it. Doing more Q/A with listeners, figuring out better ways to listen and engage.
@@notlih11 WHO of Dems and liberal pundits EFFECTIVELY combatted all of Trump’s lies and false narratives and liberal caricatures. I think only Pete Buttigieg but his hands were also tied because he couldn’t be out there more speaking directly to that consistently and constantly because of his Secretary position.
Biden was great at governing but the worst (and least accessible) communicator and explainer. The comm strategy was more than a disaster and failure. I think DNC leadership needs a total overhaul; they have been out of touch for at least a decade now
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, getting more people onto SNAP benefits, increasing housing vouchers are essential to that.
@@yvonnefarrell1029 That just creates a dependent class. You want programs that help people get on their own two feet so that they can have pride in being able to take care of themselves.
Guys, abortion cannot be your main cause and campaign platform. It motivates women, not men as much, and not even all women. The economy and crime affect everyone. That needs to be the starting point of any campaign, and in particular this time.
Oh..and sorry..the abortion thing is a huge issue. I am old enough to remember when young women died needlessly back in the 60s or were forced into abusive relationships because of unwanted pregnancies and social expectations. Seeing us returning to a time of controlling women's reproductive health needs is horrifying. When I was 10, my mother had to carry a dead fetus for weeks because removing it qualified as an abortion. I heard her cry nightly and watched her get sick in front my young eyes not fully understanding for years what was happening. This whole thing is ridiculous. As a healthcare professional I promise that abortions are not about killing new born at all. In fact, I would see doctors going to extensive measures to try to save preemies that I wondered why we were trying so hard to save a life that obviously God had not meant to exist. But that's another whole story about medical ethics. I even witnessed multiple heart, digestive, and airway surgeries on a new born preemie with just a nub of a brain stem for a brain. Why? Because the mother wanted everything possible in spite of that child probably not surviving for too long anyway and no real hope of any meaningful awareness and interaction. Medical professionals do not take letting any sign of life go easily. I really wish that for everyone's well being that y'all quit calling some differentiated cells a heart beat when there is not yet a heart and even more you would allow the person carrying the potential life and their healthcare provider make decisions based on what is best for that family/individual. It is not the only political issue but it is a big one where it comes to controlling someone else's life decisions. Now with this next administration poised to step in, women are basically being told boldly by obnoxious young men that their bodies are for men to do with what they want. Think about that for a while and put yourself in a young woman's place. Handmaid's Tale does not really feel all that far fetched, does it?
@@AWilliams-m6e Thanks for your insights, and I agree with all of it. My comment was about campaign strategy, not about changing the Democratic platform. I strongly support the choice of women in all issues that affect them, and it pains me greatly to see where Trump and his patriarchal fellow-travellers want to take society and the rights of women.
and planned parenthood makes a FORTUNE off of fetal parts, not that that should matter either
Trump and MAHA appealed to women who want to protect their children. There is more to women's rights than just avoiding having children.
Joe Biden was an FDR/Truman Democrat. He talked about building back better. He got an infrastructure law passed. He stood up to Russia. He wanted to modernize Amtrak. He got insulin prices reduced. He beat Big Pharma over Medicare negotiating drug prices. He likes ice cream. So-called progressives tried to pass a hair anti-discrimination law. Hair? I know it was mainly aimed to protect black people with dreadlocks, but I call it the "Molly Jong-Fast Act."
New rule for me. I am not responding at all to anything anyone says - only what they do. I don't have the bandwidth to worry about what comes out of their mouths.

59:17 Earlier in the conversation you talked about not understanding voters, then you talked about the morality of supporting transgender people. That’s an example of not understanding how a lot of Trump voters feel. They don’t understand why there is so much emphasis on pronouns and gender for a small part of our society but not enough concern for what’s important to them. Why don’t they matter? They can’t afford food and housing. Where is the moral outrage for them?
9:30 Just an observation "Trump nominated the SCOTUS members who ruled for an abortion ban". So factually, the court didnt ban anything, they just said the constitution doesnt grant the federal govt the power to overrule the states.
Badly stated. In many cases the federal government *does* have the Constitutional power to overrule the states. And Dobbs ruled in favor of states that were enacting abortion bans.
Beautifully stated. That is very precisely what the SCOTUS did.

As a 50ish straight white woman, I don't care as much about abortion rights as I do about our unsecure border. I've also looked at the nightmare now unfolding in some of our best cities, some now being "sancuary" cities. Unlike the media sitting behind their desk, I've been in these streets, and as a nurse, i get a front row seat to the madness. In the community, ive seen what the drugs can do to a person and their families. I've taken care of victims of violent crimes of all sorts. I've had to beg and persuade truly ill individuals to please come to the hospital for care when i see them in home care but they worry because they cant and wont be able to pay the bill but, then I see the "illegals" receiving free healthcare and being "boarded" in my hospital for MONTHS because Federal laws junking up the wheels won't allow us to discharge them... It's a real mess. Do you ladies know or wven care just how expensive that is to our citizens? Have either of you ever received a bill in the mail after a hospital stay? It's outrageous even to those of us who pay our freakin insurance premiums! You ladies seem terribly out of touch. Sometimes, i listen to you talk now, Katie and it gets me so upset! I used to watch and listen to you every day after work. Ugh. I cant believe I thought you knew everything! In all fairness, that was 20ish years ago. I think I stopped watching TV and going to movie theaters around 2010? Ive been forming my own opinions since then.
The left leaning media only shows far,far right leaning whackadoodles. The right leaning media only shows far, far left leaning whackadoodles.
The left campaign was lead by a talking head who was very bad at it. Watching those democratic rallies.... was difficult. The "entertainment" that had to be paid in order to fill the seats shows how detached from reality that party has become. And, so raunchy. For some reason though, it appears the people of the left respond best to entertainers and others who get paid to ACT for a living. They just cant handle reality and the only ones who feed their delusions are the ones they pay to say what they want to hear.
At the end of the day, i think most Americans are tired of all the special interest groups. Most of us work hard for what we've earned and would like to keep it. We want fairness for all so nobody cries foul. We are Americans, and that's our group. We need to protect our land and keep our people safe from those on the far right and those on the far left.
You are so right on! Katie is so out of touch, ‘cool kids table’ lmao!!! Wack job table is more like it. Core values for most of us is our families which have been under attack with open borders, defund the police, policing language, and men in our bathrooms! It is not about not trusting women to lead but how can you trust someone that can’t answer the simplest questions and cackles like a chicken to avoid answering questions. The border bill is on the democrats not getting it done because the urgency of the need was caused by them!
On the topic of sexism and implicit bias… is there a place where a woman may not have the stature to lead the country and another woman would? Can we not share our true opinions of the abilities of a man or woman w/o being accused of implicit bias?

No fn statue for you...that's for sure. Lefty lib woman.....are so stunned!!!
EXACTLY! Harris lacked Stature because she’s Harris not bkz she’s a woman!
Katie, to what you mentioned. I think a huge reason Trump won is because he and many people in his coalition actually went to many rural communities and spoke to people while the left was so focused on what he said. They ignored who he spoke with and the concerns he identified. The left has become very condacending to the working class.
The real reason he won was. Inflation, Border. And he is just better in every way over biden/ harris. Period. Pretty simple!
Sadly, their values and principles are such that if they had spoken more, they only would have lost more votes.

Too fn bad...go back to Mehko
It's the difference of being talked AT vs being talked TO. And Jen, they LIED about what he said. Good people on both sides? Seriously we are smart enough to go look at the original clip. Trump DID go talk to the average person, did tons of podcasts and was authentic. Maybe you didn't like his authenticity, but those who watched him, most of them appreciated that he just was who he was. He didn't change based on who he spoke to. He listened and even took some very great ideas seriously.
Trump has never been against all abortion. He has said so a thousand times. The news just spun it in a different way. People can fact check that. Again, the media lost because they were not telling the truth. People get to vote for their State Leadership. So if it's important to them, they can vote those legislators out.
Oh that implicit bias stuff is a crock of bologna. She doesn't have the stature. She has ZERO experience in successfully managing foreign affairs. You slammed Trump for being a misogynist, but never addressed that Kamala's affairs led her to certain offices or connections. Think Ukraine, think the boarder Czar... yes that's again a lie from the media that she was not given that title... again... something every American can fact check. So stop LYING.
Jen, most Republicans and even some Democrats voted against it. You guys kept blaming Trump. It wasn't Trump, it was a crappy bill. Do you know how much money actually went to the boarder vs other countries? Not even mentioning the terrible boarder policies.
And see Katie, you're still doing it. You calling him a racist for the eating dog and cats comment. That is not bigoted. Most Americans do not think that is bigoted. The conversation needs to be that 30,000 people of a different culture, who don't know our laws, were dropped in the middle of a town who could not handle the influx. It wouldn't have mattered if it was Hattians, or some other country. If they dropped 30,000 of ANY culture who did not know our laws this would be an issue. Can you see that? They are bringing migrants into towns for industries, paying them less and with less regulation. That's just wrong.
How do you manipulate people getting murdered? How do you manipulate Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes in several states. This has NEVER happened before. Why are you defending these numbers when we've had the largest migration in HISTORY in the last 4 years. Can you admit that? We don't want to be gaslit anymore. The boarder number might be down now, but that is not what HAS happened. And it happening all over the world. You may very well be reporting that, and I hope you are. The populations of ALL countries who have been overrun by migrants are rising up to say NO MORE.
Maybe if we taught our kids the value of hard work, and that a college degree is not ALL that makes them successful, and maybe if we paid them what they deserve to be paid... then they would WANT to work in those places. It's much bigger than, American's don't want to do those jobs. If they pay enough, they'll do them.
I love Jen that you are introspective right now. I would say standing strong to protect illegal immigrants over your legal citizens is not going to go well. Spending other people's tax dollars on illegal immigrants over spending those tax dollars on your people, is not a winning strategy.
You saying that "I" knew Trump was racist and sexist and looked the other way is 100% incorrect. I looked into FACTS, I took into account the age in which he was born, I looked at his friends (and he has friends of every nationality and color). I looked at who was lying about him repeatedly. I mean, you never talk about the African Americans, who he won in increasing numbers, that Hispanics that he won... can you please just take a step back and look at the logic of what you are saying? And yes, it is individuals you are criticizing. You are disappointed in ME. And you and I have not even had a conversation. You don't know what color my skin is, you don't know my history, you don't have the facts Biden has said some VERY racists things specifically, but because he's a Democrat, he got a pass? He's automatically not racist?
I feel very bad about the way he was treated. And he should not currently be President. Can we talk about that?
You're right, you don't know what her position is on Gaza, because she wasn't AUTHENIC about this issue or any issue. Her flip flops were every day. She took policies that Trump had already announced and didn't give him credit for them.
Of course he is concerned for Gazans. Everyone is. They despise Hamas right now. Hamas is stealing their aid, shooting them for trying to fight for food for their family that Hamas stole when the aid trucks came in. Can this have equal coverage? There are even Palestinians (not Hamas protesters) who WANT Israel to finish Hamas and help them rebuild and keep Hamas out. They love Israel for getting this horrible regime out of their territory.
Katie, the blow job thing? Did you watch the video? I just watched it because I hadn't heard that and always like to verify. He was clearly (in context of what he was saying) trying to bring the mic higher and it wouldn't move, so he was mimicking having to bend over and speak into the low mic. Good grief. Where is your mind? If you've ever spoken on stage, you try to get the mic to move up if you are taller person. His wouldn't move up. Go back and watch it with THAT in mind. Then judge accordingly. It wouldn't even have made sense to simulate a sexual act (which he has never done) at that point in the speech.
Oh so much more. Trump has condemned white supremacists OVER and OVER again. Why do you keep brining that up? Remember the black vote? The Hispanic vote? The Muslim vote? Even though you won't talk about how Trump condemned WS and Nazi's over and over, you never report on that, but we all can look up FACTS. That's what the news is suppose to be, not obfuscating facts.
Ladies, I wish you the best. I just jumped over here because of a clip I saw and I wanted to see it in context (like we all should do every time) Bottom line is. Report it ALL. If it's good about Trump, report that too. If it's bad about Kamala, report that too. It's the one sidedness that we are all so tired of. Both sides.
It’s simple Katie, we don’t want what you’re selling. Arrogant narcissists like you two cannot comprehend that, but it’s true nonetheless.
I heard when phone banking in Montana that once abortion rights were enshrined in their constitution they were not worried about a nat’l ban - so no threat from Trump & they could vote for him
Yes. A lot of misinformation out there.
Trump even stated that the Federal Government should 100% STAY OUT OF THE ABORTION ISSUE, including the Federal Courts; District, Appeals, and SCOTUS.
I'm so happy you two don't get it
My view from Canada: The way I see it, the last three nominations in a row were not truly democratic. The Hilary Clinton nomination was heavily influenced by the top party brass because there was a general feeling she deserved it. Likewise with Biden, the powers that be decided he deserved it for his loyalty to the party, and due to missing out on his chance to Hilary Clinton four years earlier. With Harris there was not even the pretense of democracy. She was anointed. Next time the Democrats would be well advised to allow the process be more democratically legitimate.
Are you kidding me Katie that we didn’t think we were “ invited to the cool
Kids table”. That says it all. You 2 actually believe you are the “ cool ones in America”. What a joke???
Those two would be considered the big dorks.
They did everything thing right, keep doing it Dems 👍🎉
I can’t think of a thing they should do differently 😂.
She's from MSNBC whose bias makes me groan just as does Fox News. Although it is post-election which might make for less bias.
I don't see it. I didn't see anything false in the interview. In fact, they talked more about what more the Biden administration might have done better. Do you just not want to hear from anyone?? Do you just not want to hear discussions at all?
@@AWilliams-m6e an honest conversation would had talked about Biden's dementia, and who's really running things .....and why they were complicit in hiding it...and still are.
MSNBC maybe bias, but they tell the truth.
That immigration bill allowed 5000 illegal immigrants to enter every week. But you knowingly or not keep demagoguing that bill.
These people live in a bubble
51:55 "Am I CRAZY??" 😆😂😆😆OMG I might be dying. 😂
19:45 I think you mean rich kids table. The rich kids always think they're the cool kids.
They don’t understand that Roe was a terrible decision, even if you support legal abortion. Dobbs corrected a mistake. It is not going to end abortion.
Katie why didn’t you ask Kamala some tough questions instead of “Kamala how tall are you”?
Its amazing two people can talk for 1:10 minutes about why Kamala lost? I can name 10 reason in less than a minute
Good to see Psaki learning how to podcast. She may be unemployed soon. so this could be her future.
The liberal media should accept significant blame for the loss. People on the center-left and center-right voted Republican this election. Theirs were votes for capitalism, not socialism; free speech, not censorship; meritocracy, not DEI programs; equal opportunity, not equal outcomes; a secure border, not an open one; and energy independence. This was not about a “woman” or “sex” but about the candidate that represented these basic ideas. Getting back to what made America great.
When it comes to immigration, my concern is that the U.S. could turn into basically a 3rd world nation. The country could look more like Venezuela than the U.S. I know. Having said that, mass deportation is a terrible thought. I would settle for a much reduce influx of immigrants and perhaps make it at least partially selective where there is a percentage of professional people that can get in the line.
_"...my concern is that the U.S. could turn into basically a 3rd world nation."_
It already is with how you don't have universal healthcare and put guns ahead of the lives of children
That is what already exists with Biden getting frustrated with trying to get congress to make a more permanent legislative move that he finally penned an executive decision. Immigration has been more controlled in the past months. Sadly so many people hear the message put out there that "the borders are open" and don't look to see how real that is. I find it interesting that the they are speaking that being born here does not make you a citizen if your parents are not considering that concept would mean that most of us are not really citizens. A real twist on this is that would make only native Americans and those who went through naturalization processes the only real citizens.
@@monkeyzorr3090but not to worry. With dtrumpf coming back into office and such an erratically personality, I suspect that will scare off some immigration again. However, I can pretty much promise you won't get many "professionals" as you put it. I am afraid the optics of what you said here sounds elitist and prejudiced.
If people come to our shores seeking protection from the violence in their countries of birth, should be considered and allowed entry and to get jobs and become citizens, but only if the pass thorough background checks. Many illegals are students and workers who have overstayed their visas.
Enforce employment laws and much of the issue disappears. Employers are knowingly keeping undocumented workers on the payroll. The occasional raid is just for show and carries little consequence for employers.
The disconnect is fascinating.
I recently viewed richard wolff's commentary on the community church of boston channel ( youtube) and it is a very revealing and direct assessment of where our country is and where it mighty be going! This man seems eminently qualified to say whwat he is saying! Perhaps others will enjoy his perspective and take on our current state of affairs! No matter one's politics ,his commentary is one that should be heard by everyone, in my opinion!
I get that and agree but I am afraid that magas will just scream communist and not really listen to the message about needing to reel in the running a muck capitalism that as history has shown us can send us into deep depression if some regulations are not maintained.
Jen Psaki is bought by corporate, establishment Democrats, also pro-corporate, pro-wealthy elites.
You're suggestion is very naive.
Wolff would never want to be questioned by another pro-corporate, status-quo TV host that Couric is!!
NEVER.
Wonderful coverage of this story.Thank you! Both💙💙
I thought these 2 women, though blind to the elephant in the room (the sexuality/female body angle is about nothing but…. abortion; while an enormous part of the rejection of the left is the teen transgender “care”, sanctuary states…) were moderate and really trying, as they said, to think against their bias. At 15:50, the “Kamala would have won if she had a penis » makes me run away (laughing but still…). I was a staunch feminist before they were even born. But this is soooooo lame !
You were never a feminist, dont try to kid us.
Leave it to the states???
The Constitution, Says it’s a state matter, like criminal justice, execution abortion. Any powers not innumerated in the constitution are left to the state
Ridiculous. No critical thinking here........
Not capable of it.
The damage has been done , Democrats did it. We will not forgive or forget. Deportation is your fault. You own it.
When you can’t win on your message, silence the other guy 👍
I literally adored Katie Couric's Today Show. WOW! Such aweful language from her in these podcasts.
Katie, if you are shaking your head wondering why he won then that says it all. It is as easy as night follows day.
That's funny because I think "it's as easy as night follows day" that Trump does not have the best interest of the country at heart.
The immigration bill sucked. Would have granted amnesty to 10 million people. None of you talked about that part of the bill.
It may be hard to believe, but Trump's campaign was disgusting, nevertheless, a significant amount of the voters found the Democratic party more disgusting than Trump. Mostly because Trump was yelling that Democrats are disgusting. Also having an aligned radical Propaganda network works.
Oh, we didn’t need Trump or anybody else to tell us how disgusting Democrats are 😂… but clearly you’re another one of those elitist who think we’re all just uneducated and can’t think for ourselves right. You’re part of the disgusting just saying.
Jen Psaki has crushed it at MSNBC, alright. Crushed it to a fire sale.
You should talk with citizens who have to live with the results of these decisions. When upper class or wealthy people are removed from experiencing this they don't know what they are talking about.
The border numbers are down, but that is because they are astronomically high. So, being down is still too high.
Here we go again- Jen did NOT address the border issue- why the administration take any meaningful action on it from 2021 through 2024. Why did they wait to the first execute order a few months before the elections! I am a DEMOCRAT and until we talk ACCOUNTABILITY for our mistakes FORCEFULLY AND CLEARLY, we are not going to be the party to vote for! Come on Jen! Come on! Katie you could have pushed back harder!!!!
Read a civics book. The PRESIDENT doesn’t make law, Congress does. If you are mad about the Borden, blame your Congressional Representatives!
@ you are missing the point, also I am as dumb as you think I am. Why was Biden able to issue an executive order close to the end of his administration to close border, why didn’t he do it between 2021 and until the middle of 2024. After Congress was not able to pass the immigration reform at the beginning of his term and after the Covid restrictions were removed , which is after 2021, why didn’t he take the decisive action he took in 2024. Let’s call a spade a spade! If we cannot own up to our mistakes, how are we supposed to move forward.
Also, why were were the democrats in congress not able to apply pressure on Biden to issue that order once we were becoming aware of the disaster at the border. We need to ask those hard and uncomfortable questions!
I am a democrat which does not mean I cannot criticize the administration when criticizing is due!
The same I will be very outspoken on why the democrats were intentionally misled about the true mental decline of Biden, moths if not years before it all came out.
The democrats are SOLELY responsible for the humiliating loss we suffered. It was
much worse than 2016 and we have no one to blame but the current administration and leadership of the Democratic Party, period!!!!
@ couple of things- I am not as dumb as you think or illiterate on civics!
Please answer this SIMPLE QUESTION- why the Biden administration wait until the middle of 2024 to issue the Executive Order to close the border. Yes I understand that he offer immigration reforms in 2021 and yes the COVID restrictions were removed at the end of 2021. What took him so long to take more decisive and forceful action on the already overwhelmed border??????
Also why were the Democrats not able to pressure the administration to be more responsive to the border crisis!
If we cannot take accountability for the administration’s mistakes we will never win elections!
Our loss was humiliating, worse than 2016. And we have none to blame but the current administration and the democratic leadership which chose to ignore the problems that most Americans are hurting from and the fact that Biden’s mental acuities were failing way earlier than it was finally OBVIOUS!
I am a democrat and am allowed the criticize our party when criticism is due,
I will or blindly support it, otherwise we will never be able to change and win elections!!! Period!!!

@@ailleananaithnid2566the law is illegal immigrate to the country you get removed. Laws on the books were ignored.
I honestly think you’re giving the public too much credit. This Churchill quote is being banding around a lot but I think it holds water.
“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.“
As a middle-aged white man in the U.S., I recognize the advantages I’ve benefited from over the years. If you’re looking to secure support from young men like my twin sons currently in college, I’d suggest focusing on the importance of supporting all young people, regardless of gender, rather than emphasizing support for young women specifically.
How about a message like this: I believe that supporting the next generation means uplifting all young people, regardless of gender. Ensuring equitable opportunities for everyone helps build a stronger, more inclusive future.
The Democrats will never learn, thankfully.
Also, "white male privilege" is a myth.
/ex-liberal
@neonlooiz, your obsession w/identity politics and condescending attitude toward people who disagree is exactly why the democrats lost. How did Obama become president if there’s racism? How are there women, immigrants and people in color succeeding in business and other fields? Conservative people of color will say systemic racism is nonexistent. What are you not able to achieve that oppressive white people have achieved? Oppression exists in China, North Korea, etc these are nations suffering from true tyranny. I’m a POC and handful of people made racist statements to me but I have succeeds on my own merit and hard work. I don’t allow this perception of racism define me as a victim and I don’t see myself as oppressed. Identity politics is a grift and should end
And you think that Trump did that? When and where? Not anything I ever heard him say.
Another middle-aged white man here. I have benefited from nothing. Based on my qualifications, I'm in the top 10% of my field, yet I get passed over by DEI hires that have earned nothing. It's white men like you that practice self-hatred that's the real problem. I know you've been brainwashed to believe otherwise, but there's nothing wrong with being white.
As another middle-aged white man that is in the top 10% of his field. I can honestly say I've benefited from nothing. Time and time again, I'm more qualified, and time and time again, I see DEI hires get jobs over me. There's nothing wrong with being white. Even if you got lucky as a white man, stop practicing self-hatred. There is nothing wrong with being white.
The "Bipartasin" bill for imigration also allowed for amnesty, leading those here illegaly to become citizens.
Maybe next time try running a less terrible candidate. Also, a lot of people just don't like you. Your condescending, self-righteous attitude rubs people the wrong way.
In my area, the abortion issue was rated as important, but by the pro-life side. It never occurred to these two women that a female wouldn't be on the unlimited abortion side of the argument.
You guys are still in the bubble. I can't listen anymore. You are coastal elites!
Yep , out of touch . No common sense.
Two white educated women who still don’t understand the most simple concepts. We want lower prices (from eggs, butter, milk and fuel) safe streets, a fair judiciary, peace in the world, etc, etc. it’s okay to have abortion in the hands of the state and we see the DOJ and FBI who lost their focus etc, etc. Most people want a smaller federal government and more power with the states. Fewer regulations that prevent smaller businesses to build from the ground up. Harris is not a leader and everyday people, even in other countries, know she cannot be taken serious. We don’t want elitist who just seems to hate working class people and call us names like Obama, Clinton and Biden has done. We are Americans with a different philosophy on how our government works for us. I’m a first generation American and a conservative and I want a government that doesn’t look for ways to go after free speech and doesn’t want to defund the police and elevate criminals.
These two are so out of tune with most Americans they will never understand us so to the new Democratic party. You went to far and it made America’s believe that if you lie to us, ignore our plight, and do everything that you accuse Trump of doing we see just more of you willing to lie to us and being a threat when it’s obvious to us that you are the real threat.
if accountability had a face, jen psaki wouldn't raise any suspicion
2 reasons for the loss. one, you all live in a bubble of me, me, me and it is me!!!! two, you look down on high at the vast majority of middle Americans and label them with terms like bigots, garbage and so mcuh worse. The complete disconnect from what is really going on with ordinary, working class Americans is beyond belief and woe betide any of them think differently as you will attack them with a vengeance and you are supposed to be the caring party! Not a chance...
You have NO IDEA why he won. SAD.
If immigration were easy to solve, somebody would have figured it out. It is my feeling, separate from my pick for President, that we need to stop this mass exodus into our country. I am getting older. I want medicine to be there for me years from now and for ER's not be so broken from immigrants with no insurance using them as their general physicians. I've always thought there should be a think tank of the most brilliant minds that could solve some of these problems. This election result made me realize I do not know my country anymore.
Most people that run on it don't want to solve it because its a great issue to campaign on. Trump was the first one on either side that actually tried to do something about it and actually got something done. Enough so that people realized it was possible. Our representatives have been failing us for a long time.
why not get kamala and have a 3 hour podcast. help her overcome word salad disease
19:46 Assuming that everyone else regards the table as the "cool kids' table", and assuming that they wish they were invited to the table, is not necessarily correct... And might be a part of the problem 🤷🏼
THIS quote from them blew my mind!!!! I can’t believe this specific quote didn’t reach mainstream outlets yet.
Omg it doesn’t take focus groups to figure this stuff out, this is common sense!!
And that's the problem with these people 😂 common sense is no longer common.
I do wonder why no one talks about the fact that the morning after pill and medical abortions (via pill, which can be effective up to 10 weeks) are not affected by abortion bans
Because you are wrong?
Thank you am grateful
I'm baffled by this entire video. They really have no clue.
Katie talking Dirty with Jen. I feel good 😅
Electoral college ✅
Popular vote ✅
Id give the Democratic leadership a stethoscope to listen to our nations heartbeat and admonish them to keep their finger on the pulse of the electorate. Inside the echo chamber is not the USA. Also tutorials on modulating tone and body language responses to those who have different views than your world view. Its fixable, but humility must come first.
It bothered many Democrats that the Democrat Convention pulpit was given to so many Republicans. This was a time for America to hear from candidates in races important to the Democrat Congress. Just a thought.
I agree. We only got about 3 million Republican votes. I bet we lost more than 3 million Democratic votes for that. 😕
So glad you ladies are insulated enough that you can still smile🎭FU
Will there be free and fair elections in 2026????
I worry when Trump is gone. The Dems will start the same demonization routine of the new candidate aided and abetted by their leftist dominated media, entertainment and indoctrination err university facilities and the Republican won't have the resilience that Trump had. There may not be another fair election.
Better switch back to paper if we wanna be sure. Whoever holds the keys to the voting machines has dominion over the country… What’s the company that runs it called again?
No
Martial law will be declared, parties in opposition to the GOP will be outlawed, and the 2026 midterms will produce a Congress with 435 Republicans in the House and 100 Republicans in the Senate, with the GOP winning 101 percent of the vote nationally - 103 percent in some states and districts!
The only thing I like here is the pic of the Vette
Great interview with Jen!
Abortion is a concern that has majority support, but the economy affects everyone everyday. A tax cut for everyone under a reasonable threshold of income instead of picking winners and losers by sector whether it’s students, seniors, first time homebuyers or small biz owners. We needed a bigger and broader appeal to all. The continued redistribution of wealth toward the top would suggest this to be fair.
Interesting discussion, but the more important question is what is the democratic party going to do with regard to this election loss. And why did they lose what should have easily been the most winnable election in a long time,against perhaps the most flawed candidate in US political history.
Clearly the primary cause of the election loss was a failure of voter turnout. In 2020 democratic turnout was 81 million vs. only 73 million in 2024. A drop of about 8 million. Whereas republican turnout in 2020 was 74 million vs 76 million in 2024. An increase of about 2 million. In short an epic failure of voter turnout by the democratic party.
One has to blame the operational leadership of the democratic party for the failure of voter turnout. Is that not their primary job in an election? If so, they failed miserably. If a Mike Bloomberg with his professional staff had been running the democratic operations, it is inconceivable that this type of disasterous voter turnout would have happened. Time for a cahnge in the nice guy "political hack" operational leadership of the democratic party. Time to brig in some real business type operational leadership. Perhaps a Melinda Gates, or a Mark Cuban, or a Stever Ballmer, or even an Anthony Scaracucchi. Until the democrats do something like that, they will continue to wander in the wilderness and continue to lose election after election.
Weird how those Democrat voters also didn’t turn out in 2012 or 2016 - only in 2020. Who would have thought that Biden (campaigning from his basement) was so much more inspiring than Obama, Clinton, or Harris.
Lol...
These 2 discussing implicit bias is just to ridiculous!
"At no point in this rambling, incoherent response were they even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone here is now dumber for having listened to it."
Was there a lower turn out? Or were there ballots purged or provisional ballots discarded? A simple email or text system to have people confirm their vote then compare numbers to confirm no irregularities. I think that's fair. Just confirm this since we have doubts after many states tried to purge voters off their registries.
What are you, some kind of election denier? Pretty suspicious question.
2020 numbers were way over anything on record. They stand out like a sore thumb.
Blue MAGA
Katie is the velvet hammer. She get to the crux of difficult issues without being mean
trump told Netanyahu Do what you need to do. How could anyone think he would help the Palestinians ?
I’m no fan of Israel but what would you do if you had people that wanted to exterminate you ? Be realistic.
That is the biggest "what were you thinking" trigger for me.
It is the “wish-washy” policies that kill most innocent lives and foster the most wars. Everyday middle easterners living in the US just want peace and security in the region.
and some women who have the few high level jobs don’t realize what regular women go through. it’s hard to get ahead. you have to have more degrees then men , look perfect etc!!
I am so tired of this "doing jobs Americans don't want to do" rhetoric. They're doing jobs Americans wants to be appropriately paid for. Instead you're siding with the wealthy business owners who are undercutting wages by exploiting desperate foreigners instead of giving living wages to actual Americans.
There used to be a show called "Point/Counterpoint" where both sides of an issue were discussed in a non-political way. What if we focused on the key issues (economy, abortion, immigration, foreign aid, LGBTQ+, climate, education, healthcare, etc...) and did a deep dive on each? It might also be time to require a knowledge test in order to vote. You have to have a certain understanding to get a driver's license or other certification - why not one for voting rights so people can't say they didn't know?
Yeah they tried that during the Jim Crow era.
I would love Katie Porter , Bill Maher and Rachel Maddow on the Podcast
Loved the show today. Thank you ladies.
Don’t come for her now that’s she’s no longer a candidate. You should have said it with your entire chest before Nov 4th.
Goodness… believe me when I say that conservatives hope that you two never change, and that all the “it’s so hard being the educated party” people in the comments never change as well… lol absolutely clueless why the Dems actually lost, and doing your best to make sure it keeps happening. 😂
Saw your comments on Bill Maher’s show… what a bitter old woman you’ve become. Trust me… conservatives are not jealous of you, and we are not bitter… NOTHING about you is appealing to us. But yeah… keep going, can’t wait for Vance in 2028, and again in 2032, then probably Don Jr in 2036 😂
Great conversation!
Your channel is so refreshingly human. Thank you.
Lol
Whoopie is that u?😂
How can neither of these women have seen this coming?
Democratic leader who leads and communicates like the party should: pete butigeg
Definitely!
The ar 14 guy. Lol
Oh lordy...🙄
Most candid and interesting interview with Psaki to date.
