- The MAGA vs. Mitch McConnell battle heats up with Trump’s return to public life, Joe Biden and progressives debate how much student debt to cancel, and Texas suffers from freezing storms and rolling blackouts while Ted Cruz jets off to Cancun. Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer discuss Donald Trump calling into Hannity after Rush Limbaugh's death. Then, they break down President Biden's CNN Town Hall. Last, they discuss the climate crisis in Texas, including the Green New Deal, wind energy conspiracies and how we can fix energy grid problems.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us-one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America-a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

As Al Franken famously said “ I like Ted more than most and I hate Ted.”
Oh yeah, I had forgotten that. Thank you for reminding me!
That is a fantastic quote.
Makes me think of Boehner’s comments about Cruz: "Lucifer in the flesh... I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life."
@@annalisa27 Boehner what a blast from the past, wonder what that snake is doing now?
@@billermanthegreat the original orange politician has gotten into the weed business. Not joking about that, look it up.
Let's hope in Rush Limbaugh's after life, he's shown the same compassion and kindness, he always extended to others.
That's what I'm doing now. Any time I see some dumbass like Vance or Lahren asking for civility or going after the left for being so "cruel" about Rush going home to Hell, I just saying I'm going to be as nice as the right-wing was when RBG died.
Can I say “good riddance” or is that too cruel?
Ted Cruz tells Texans to stay home, then heads out for Cancun.
Gets caught
Blames his Daughters, and slinks back home
A Profile in Courage.
His daughters don't want him around 😂
Maria C incorrect. Biden declared an emergency and immediately approved FEMA funding. Ted was packing sunscreen...lmao
@Maria C so you obviously have no problem with what Cruz did, eh? As well, your dear failed leader came out of hiding to eulogize Limbaugh in a whiny bitch "poor me" speech. I guess you were happy about that. And before you try, I don't like Biden either. I just don't like hypocrites like you.
Charger hey came home because Faux News called his ass out....nice try...he had a huge suitcase...for a turnaround...uh huh
Just when I think he can’t be any more vile, he double downs with being even more vile by blaming his elementary-age children for taking a luxury vacation. Wow, a real family man! SMH!
We should treat "the former guy" like the "former guy" Out of sight, out of mind.
Jon’s laugh never fails to brighten my day ☺️
His laugh is truly joyful!
@Black Lives Don't Matter How does it make your life any better to be so mean?
@@brianwalkup5214 yeah, I really don’t understand trolls like this. Maybe there’s some thrill they get from making malicious comments without repercussions? Who knows 🤷♀️
@@annalisa27 that is a good of a theory as I have heard. It is a real mystery. Thanks for the insightful comment.
Sorry you had your day interrupted by that troll @Annalise - I went ahead and blocked him from the channel. He can go be an asshole somewhere else.
A million people suffering in your state and you go on vacation? Really??
I had never seen this maggot with a mask on before. I'm surprised he didn't shave, put on his wife's clothes and hide under a huge bonnet! Or is it at the point where they just don't have to give s a shit about it?
Is it true he threw his kids under the bus? What a man............... No father of the year award for this turd.
this was cruz's 'throwing paper towels' moment
PLEASE do not air trump. Hate the sound of his voice. We all had ENOUGH of him
So 👍 true
Agreed! Yes our political system is awash with vile sewage leaking out from a Trumpster fire of a Republican Party. Please don't spread that filth here. If you feel you must quote these integrity-free liars then take the time to print out their words.
Give a hoot! Don't pollute!
Agreed. I know we can't get around Trump news, but no more with the guy. I'm not clicking on news stories, opinion pieces, and other click bait that even reputable media resources put up on the guy (looking at you NYT). Done with this guy.
Also, please don't show clips of idiocy from Fox News. Think of this channel as a small oasis of sanity and truth in a vast scorching desert of lies and absurdity. It's not newsworthy that the right spreads absurd lies. You don't need to spread them yourselves in order to debunk them.
I agree! If you must discuss him, just tell us what he said. Your delivery is a hella lot more entertaining, anyway.
Has any one considered cancelling interest on federal student loans permanently if cancellation can’t happen? Interest makes up for a huge portion of most peoples loans and this last interest free year has been extremely helpful to people who were able to continue paying.
Especially considering that 6.5% interest is well above what interest on a home loan would be
Great point!
I’m advocating that Progressives and Bernie supporters should VOTE REPUBLICAN or NOT VOTE in 2022/24 if BIDEN refuses to do $40-$50K loan forgiveness.
Tired of Republicans owning Democratic initiatives. We finally have a majority, use it. Tired of hearing “bipartisanship.” Mitch never cares for this, why should we.
But I’d be cool with cancelling all interest on federal loans.
this! I believe that's what's really holding people back, yes the loans are high but the interest??? you might as well not pay the loans at all because it feels like you'll never finish paying off your loans if the interest just keeps adding up. Cancel interest if canceling student loan debt isn't on the table, I feel like that's fair.
Ted Cruz going to Cancun really has “medieval European aristocracy fleeing to their country estates to avoid starving peasants demanding food” vibes
Then blaming your small children when you get called out for doing it!
It’s right out of the Australian PM playbook 🤙🏽
#scottyfrommarketing #scomo #auspol
I’m sure you said the same thing for the dozens of Democrat governors mayors city council members who did an hour still doing worse since Covid
@@justinsmith4157 I'm sure you know everything I've ever said or thought and aren't just making a generalization based on ignorance 🤷🏻♀️
@@DracoMalfoyable Well, I'm sure you meant it when you said, “medieval European aristocracy fleeing to their country estates to avoid starving peasants demanding food” vibes"....
CAUSE YOU LITERALLY JUST SAID IT.
NOW IF YOU WANT TO BE ADULTS ABOUT IT, I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY, THAT IS A REDICULOUS STATEMENT, BUT I GET IT. I know what you're doing, you're peacocking to your friends for social cred all while pretending that you are a decent person. This is the game you play. I'm just pointing out that you are in fact not a decent person cause you would never use a ridiculous line like that toward a democrat politician. So you can lie all you want but the fact remains, you are not what you claim to be. You are no different than Ted and that friend, is the difference from you and me, the minuet I herd about Ted, I was pissed and had no problem calling him out. To be clear, Ted Cruz is a POS for what he just did, it is elitist and disgusting. Can you say the same for yourself? Do you call out your side? Don't lie kid.
Also, apologies for the all caps... I noticed after I typed for a bit and was too lazy to correct it.
why aren't we talking about cutting a trillion dollars from the military? do that and fund all the good things!
But muh bombs ...
When I die, I want for the most important person in my life to only talk about themself for an hour, and then end with, “But man, you should’ve seen Geoff hit the long ball.”
Trump was basically like “You know, the best part about Rush Limbaugh was his unquestioning loyalty to every word that came out of my mouth, and that made him a special guy”
As the old joke goes, "...but enough about me, let's talk about you.... what do you think of me?"

I am looking forward to politics to be boring again........I never really paid much attention until Trump was elected and you guys saved my sanity! Now we know what a POS the GOP is and I can't stop listening to you and being more engaged..........
Please stay engaged. We have a lot of work to do from this point on. We need you to help make change, so please don't check out. Take breaks when you need to, we all do it, but don't go back to ignoring politics. We're all in this together.
'not paying attention' was what let the gop get so much power on such a low % voter support.
You need to stay involved, even when it's dull.
Welcome, Kathie, we're glad to have you here. We can never become complacent again. Greetings from frozen Texas!
Is Ted Cruz a climate refugee now?
This is such an important point to make
Ted Cruz has since stated that he was trying to be a good father because his girls asked to go. Well Ted, being a good parent isnt giving your kids everything they WANT. A good father would have used the weather situation as a teaching moment. "Honey, there are many people around us who are cold and experiencing other issues because they aren't as blessed as we are. So, let's stay here and try to help our suffering fellow Texans!" Hmmmmm. Missed a moment, Ted!
Yes. Could have been: “Girls, let’s go drop off water & blankets at senior centers” Instead, Rafael be like: “Girls, get Daddy another ice cube for his margarita, Por FAVOR!”
Also, being a responsible parent is not 'blame my kids for my own actions'.
His wife was on the trip. She is a VP at Goldman Sachs and certainly capable of the job.
On the plus side, his kids have learned how to toss loved ones under the bus and pass the blame for everything to everyone not named Ted.
@@mrcurly1147 If his kids are at all aware of his 'work' this won't be the first time they've had that lesson.
Ted’s moral compass pointed to Mexico. 😕🥶
That is SUCH fake news.
He had his compass removed.
I remember the damage Rush did to my community long before Fox News started adding to that damage. It was all so bizarre for those of us in Joe Manchin country. Rush was vulgar, racists and sexist, but he was entertaining and almost everyone I knew personally fell for farce! It was heartbreaking to me!
I remember when he started out in the 90s. Everyone thought he was a comedian He rose in popularity for his outlandish and bizarre thinking. But then people started taking him seriously. He had to continue to spin outlandish tales to keep his rating us and in so doing, he helped blur the line between truth and reality and that of conspiracy and the ridiculous.
My Dad went from a guy who supported environmental issues, to a guy who watches hours and hours of Fox News pundits, believes "they" are inventing climate change and immigrants are invading. The first step was AM talk radio and Rush Limbaugh.
@@yolandadenny8692 that is exactly what happened. People completely changed their political views to things that just made no sense.
@@AnexoRialto Thank you Greg for sharing your story in such an honest and effective way. My family is lost to Fox News nonsense as well. I don’t know what to do about it.
There is an excellent documentary by Jen Senko called The Brain Washing of My Dad you can find online. It talks about how he started down the rabbit hole listening to Rush on long work commutes. It truly changed his personality and not in good ways. He seemed to be able to make it OK to be mean and angry at the world.
Loved Chastened Buttigieg's tweet today that went, "If you little Pina Coladas, Getting caught on a plane".
Chasten 😉
He is so lovely 💛
Regarding student loans, has anyone proposed eliminating interest on the loans instead? As someone with $220k still pending in student loans, 10k or 50k doesn't really change things much. But eliminating interest, or bringing the interest down to something really low like 1% would really help. That way, we're still responsible for paying off what we borrowed without interest snowballing.
+1 use low interest rates favorably but no cancellation. my daughter lived frugally to accelerate paying off 45k 5 years. 5-7% interest rates. would have taken much less time at 1%. bigger issue is freight train of tuition, which has escalated orders of magnitude over core inflation the last 2 decades or more
Denmark is one of the countries with the greatest portion of their electricity coming from wind, and it's cold as hell here too. No problems.
I'm not in celebration over Limbaugh's death, but I'm also not shedding any tears.
This Texas weather is NOT a "once in a lifetime"/"once a century" event. Twice in the last 20some odd years there has been freezes/blackouts/ grid failure.
Exactly! An event like this happened in 2011!
and yet they keep letting ERCOT call all the shots and refuse to participate in the same regulatory bodies that literally the rest of the country does. They even have themselves cut off from the rest of the national grid so they couldn't even accept help from others to make up for the generation they lost when their non winterized infrastructure failed them during a catastrophic storm.
Sure worked out well for them! I hope Texans get together and demand better from ERCOT and their political leadership.
@@rileylabski Right? As a former Texan and someone whose family still mostly lives in Texas, we're not okay with losing power for days on end for the sake of keeping Texas a place where regulation goes to die.
You could have just quoted “the former guy”. Playing his voice is wholly damaging and unnecessary. Please. No more.
Yep, I'm in recovery.
I hadn't heard that douchebag's voice in over a month. Yeah, it sucks to break that streak.
I hope to meet Dan one day in person so we can bond about how much we both hate Paul Ryan.
If you send him a note that starts out hard on your Ryan aversion, I think the meeting would happen right away!👍
I’ve heard from Texans that their state government was warned about the grid issues in ‘11 and the ‘90s.
our gov't got a full report in 2011 on what to do in order to prevent something like what's going on. they didn't do any of it.
Yes they were
And Texans still voted Republicans?
So, it went from Lyin' Ted to Flyin' Ted? Lol!
I've had power back on for 24 hours now!!! Please help people who need it. Thank you to everyone who has supported Texans (and others) through this. And thanks to the Pod for spreading the word. ❤️❤️❤️
"Once in a century weather" that has screwed up Texas's independent grid how mamy times? This isnt the first time the failure to winterize lead to disaster.
Here in Houston, we also have Hundrrd Year Floods. I remember several...
Colleges should be asked to help lessen the burden of debt.
Plus they would need to come up with a plan to deal with future debt & controlling costs.
Regarding the student debt, the argument sounds like "we could do what is politically expedient or what is the right thing to do." See also: why politicians are hated.
one day they'll figure it out
I live in Houston and I was surprised at how callous Ted Cruz has been during this week. I should never bet against Cruz's depravity.
NEW: Ted Cruz booked his return ticket from Cancun to Texas at 6 a.m. today, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Cruz was initially booked to return on Saturday.
You mean 6pm?
@@emileblanche5868 No...6am this morning
@@inorite4553 Oh so he flew to Cancun yesterday 02/17/21. I actually thought he flew today.
If the US average student loan debt is 30k how will 10K have any effect?
And how refreshing to have Biden simply say no to the young lady respectfully.
Thank you for the Dakota reference! After spending a winter there that's what I thought of when I heard this windmill lie. That would mean that all the windmills in the Dakotas wouldn't work from October to April...
I live in northern Iowa, about 2 hours from the South Dakota border, and can see working windmills from my kitchen window.
So I was also scratching my head at that excuse!
Hey, I suggested Flyin' Ted for a pod title when you tweeted about it.
I'm either smart, psychic or very persuasive. Either way, I'll take it.
When the going gets cold, the selfish go to Cancun.
I live in a college town and around here everyone has a phd, but there is only 1 man in town who can do appliance repair. You could be waiting for months! I hope young people look at what the job market actually is when making education plans. (This is not about current student loans so much as future ones).
I will not be able to relax until we pass For The People Act.
Dan and I happen to be wearing the new friend of the pod hoodie. That does not prove the two of us are kindred brilliant spirits. However, if anyone jumped to such a conclusion I would have no means of disabusing that person of the idea. I guess just trust your heart is all I can say!👍

I love that Obama was talking about building the new grid for years and his aids wouldn't let him try and build it, ands him being right about it needing to be done.
In this case, it would have made little difference: most of TX has its own unregulated electrical supply "grid," unconnected to any Can - Am electrical "grid, " according to reports.
this is what dumbs down the public! they think we 'dont care' or 'dont know what it is'? wtf? just assuming we 'dont want' something they imagine (likely for personal gain) we 'dont understand'. that assumption as we saw was well... its killing a lot of ppl right now. how bout trusting americans with the truth and not making dumb decisions without our input.
i am all in for free Community College for everyone.
Ted needs to ask the Wizard for a brain.
I love listening to you guys ! Thank you for sharing and in such an informative, human & hopeful way. I just love it . . . . .
Thank you so much for watching!
Ted Cruz is suppose to be helping Texans who are in need with no power, no water, no food, and etc instead of only caring for himself and his trip. He's no better than Abbott and McConnell.
As a suggestion I think time stamps in the description outlining the issues being discussed could be helpful to see the topics more clearly. Love your content
I am SO frustrated by the President's stance on student debt. Sure, school should be free, but my 45K in student debt isn't going anywhere.
Re: Student Debt
1. Default rates correlate negatively with the amount of debt you have (i.e. higher rate of default if you 10 K as opposed to 100k).
2. If the goal here is to make tuition free long-term, better to align your student loan debt relief with how you plan to manage future cost.
3. Debt relief for government workers could be expanded and simplified...Seems like now seems like a good time to get a whole generation of civil servants.
Dammit why did I have to go to Emory for grad school 😩. My mortgage worth of monthly payments will be with me till death ☠️ lol. I graduated in 2008 and couldn’t find a job for a year and when I did it paid 💩. So much interest accumulated during that time so now I’m $20k over my original loan amount. It’s depressing.
The interest is what they should focus on cutting asap. Most people fully understand that crushes people even when they are trying to pay back.
@@kgibbs2805 I 💯 agree and would even be happy if they just forgave and stopped the interest. If you’re only able to make payments based on your income you’ll never be able to get out of the hole.
Could you please not display pictures of his ugliness and force us to listen to his bugs bunny lying voice? We are so sick of him.
Hey guys, I made my pitch today to go on Majority 54 to tie my letter to Biden to a movement that Americans need to demand that our government services need to work! I will let everyone know if there is news on that front!
Texas had the same cold snap 14ish years ago and was told to winterize at that point. And I believe the same thing happened 15 years before that. So that means that Texas has had issues three times in 30 years. I guess it is good to be a plumber in Texas. There will be work through to the summer for replacing broken pipes.
According to info on Google, the average student loan debt is around $32,00. Why go up to $50,000?
McConnel doesn't have multiple chins. He doesn't even have one chin.
It always looks like that when he straps his rental spine on backwards.
These guys look nothing like I thought. Until now, I had not seen them. John Favreau is pretty handsome.
Tommy Vietor is also a babe.
@@valeriebickford3329 Yes, very true hehe.
Come on, guys... Where's the love for Dan and Lovett??
@@AlerieHightower Those two have the most comforting voices.
Texas also has chosen to be a private grid provider, in other words is not connected to the federal regulated energy grids. Texas was unable to access to emergency energy from other states.
Right. That's the point Rick "Ma Energy" Perry made. Texans are ready to freeze to death to keep the Feds out of the grid.
The students that went to Yale and Harvard and Penn aren't all rich. Some of them worked their butts off to get in to those top school wanting the very best and putting in the work! Why would a community college student get debt relief but a student from the same high school that got all A's and didn't everything they could, get's no relief?
He also indicated "circumstances and income" In other words not a blanket forgiveness
50k going to student loans, despite where someone went to school, is economic stimulus. Any money people would have put into loans would then be spent back into the economy. It's a win for everyone.
I am enamored with this channel because it's so refreshing to listen to actual thinking people who bring knowledge and thoughtfulness to the issues of our day.
I can't wait for live shows again 😭😤
I had a ticket to that DC show in April of the devil's epoch 😔
I have 50k-60k in student debt for a single bachelor degree from a state university. My degree doesn't even line up with my field. I want to get a masters and be able to buy a house in the future, but not with the way things are now. I don't need 50k taken off. I need the entire payment process changed. Student's payments shouldn't keep them from getting ahead. Make it cost comparable to a gym membership and not a car or rent payment. Make the period to pay definite. HR1 is more important and unlocks this kind of legislation.
'Ted Cruz: The Man Who Would be President'
😂
What happened is the natural gas lines and power plants froze up, which is a much bigger issue than the wind generation.
#4 Texas has its own grid largely unconnected to the two large national grids, presumably (sarcasm alert) to make it easier for them to secede from the union. In fact there was a smaller scale cold event a few years back that lead the El Paso area to join a larger grid system.
One of the many reasons we're moving to El Paso from east Texas.
Just make state universities cheaper !! Give more money to education.
he wants FREE state schools
I''m sure trump did not write such a long letter with big words like trope.
I suspect Stephen Miller...
Look, why do we have to discuss canceling "student Loan Debt"? The root cause of the cumulative student loan debt is the "Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act" past in 2005 which was voted for by Biden when he was a senator. This act exempted government backed student loans from being included in bankruptcy filings which is why middle age and younger people have had to carry this debt damaging their credit ratings and limiting their employment prospects for years. This is why we have to engage in conversations about cancelling "Student Loan Debt".
“Because self-awareness is Donald Trump’s strong suit.”
Hehe ❤️
Ted Cruz leaving has some real Tsar-fleeing-to-the-summer-palace-to-avoid-revolution energy
He is not dumb, he just doesn’t give a f**k.
Lucky for me my Republican grandpa spent his career working in the energy sector and was just as pissed about that bullshit as we were. Yay I can finally sit one out
Now he just has to connect the dots to all the other bullshit.
Texas sent California garden rakes when they had those fires.
I enrolled in California Community College in January 1972. I paid $10 a semester for two years which went toward maintaining the on-campus nurse's office. Wow. Now what do students pay out just to attend a 2-year Community College which may or may not have said medical support?
I believe it is currently $46 per unit in California CCs, so if a student enrolls and does not qualify for aid, they would pay just over $1100 (for tuition alone) to attend full time (12 units.)
Love the hoodie!! Friend of the Pod!
Ted Cruz another despicable Senator, irresponsible behavior. We must remember this to the Texas voters.
TX is NOT experiencing a once-in-a century or once-in-a-lifetime cold spell. TX gets these cold snaps about every 10 years. They did some winterizing after the 2011 cold snap but it was voluntary so many power plants and windmills did NOT winterize!
Texan here. I helped try to boot Cruz out of office in the midterms and am committed to do even more to boot him in 2024. If he had a spine he'd resign before then.
Same here, JJ. I left it all on the field volunteering for Beto's campaign.
Go guys👏👏👏👏
I think it's disgraceful. Says it all.
The President's student loan comments sadly just reveal the ignorance of the upper class when it comes to making policy for the "rest of us." His kids went to "a Harvard and a Yale," but did they need loans? Did they pay outright? Have a legacy? If you've taken out loans, whether that be at "a Harvard, or a Yale" or a College of the Canyons, you've borrowed money that you (presumably) didn't already have and needed to pursue an education. I've bussed tables with a Columbia med student because they knew they needed to pay their loans while in school or they'd never have hope of paying them. Dan's comparison to the bullshit behind the "homes they can afford" argument is very applicable. There is absolutely zero guarantee you'll earn an income after school that will allow you to pay back your student loans (even in an essential field), but having worked in financial aid, thaaaaat isn't advertised or earnestly discussed when students are clicking through the student loan "counseling" slideshow. Having been through it, and ushered others into it, the student loan game, be it federal or private, is predatory. As a young person, immigrant, or parent who wants the best for their kid, you're sold a loan, promised a dream, and left with a nightmare.
Great show! But Dan, the Texas storm was not once-in-a-century. There have been 2 similar weather events in the last two decades. And they were warned after those episodes to winterize the power grid, but did nothing. Because, it's Texas, and they didn't have to follow Federal recommendations.
because their energy company is private and for-profit. It's a perfect example of why utilities shouldn't be private.
I'm sure you will correct this. But as a Texan. We have had this happen 3 times in the last 30 years. With recommendations to fix it by winterizing. The last 2 governors and ERCOT opted not to spend the funds to fix the problem.
Re: the student debt question: it costs $6500 a year to go to my local community college; $7500 if you're out of state ($26k for the full bill and $30k, respectively). Someone needs to show Biden the current numbers on what it costs to go to school now. One has to be very well off indeed to get through college with only $10,000 worth of loans. It would be only a small percentage of my debt, and I've been paying on it for 16 years.
And this is assuming you don't need to take out loans to live on, too--unless you want to work full time while in school, which jeopardizes your grades and/or slows you down dramatically.
"blaming his kids" lol Ted is one of a kind.
Great episode. Flyin Ted’s latest misstep was hilarious...Wanting to order a hoodie now also. 👍
The cost of college should be addressed-not student loan debt. I went to a state school that I could afford, worked full time and had a credit load of over 15 credits each semester. I graduated debt free. So, now I’ll be penalized and will pay for people who didn’t think about graduating (or not graduating) with student loan debt. No, thanks! OR I can go back to school and get $50K paid by taxpayers. OR we can try to make up for racist federal housing policy by wiping all school loan debt for minorities ONLY regardless of whether they graduated or not. Sick of the entitled angle of cancelling student loan debt. Her face at 16:17. She went to a private university. Her eyebrows gave it away when President Biden brought up private vs. state. That was her choice. So, while you’re being braggadocious about going to a private university, you can pay the entire bill for that private university.
I went to a state school. 10k will do little to help me with my loans. How about just letting pay back my loan without interest. That would be more than 50k for me. I only have federal loans. Millions are in my position.
>Wealth tax
I wanna see Jon's face with that squeal at 1:17 🤣
It’s almost been like the other guy made it easy for Biden to know how to act: be brief, clear, strong, compassionate, and have meaningful content. And of course no accordion hands.
Dan. Substantively brilliant. Lighting-wise, vampiric. Someone save him.
cruz did not sneak off in a private jet. he walked thru the airport for all to see.
thats why i think it was deliberate gaslighting. hes daring the admin to do something. if they dont......... grift machine cranks up to full blast immediately
I would just like them to follow through on the promise to help on student debt for people working for non profits.
The student loan situation is obnoxious, it makes me absolutely enraged that he is so incompetent and unaware of the actual situation. Most people I know, this is the hill they will die on, they will not vote for him again, they will not support him, they will not do anything for him if he does not do something.
So many throw out a flat number to forgive. What he explained in the short time he had was the different ways to have loans forgiven or state schools free. Perhaps working/volunteering at low income schools, etc to. have loans forgiven. WHAT is wrong with those? i know student loans are horrible. Both my kids have them. However people should understand he can only do what he can do. And nothing will make everyone happy. How about realizing reality and not damn the guy for trying.
The situation in TX is not once in a century. Similar situation occurred in 2011 and also about 10 years prior to that.
Yeah. Flyin' Ted is gonna stick.
I wish y'all would have markers in these for when you discuss certain issues
There wouldn't be student debt if state and community colleges were free. There are a lot of loans going for both, paid by families with little money. This is prevention of future debt. Sounds good to me.
Great show Dan & Alyssa on Hysteria!
Every time I listen to Pod Save America I sit with a full glass of bourbon and tell myself I'll drink it only if one of them uses "writ large" in a sentence. I have no more bourbon. Y'all love that phrase.
LOL drink up!
