12/8/24 The convicted felon Donald trump says “he 'can't guarantee' tariffs won't raises prices”. What happened to ‘lowering the price of gas & food’ in his campaign speeches? Sp much for his campaign promise just another Con?
These are the same guys who'd been screaming from the rooftops "What are HER qualifications?" if the candidate was a woman. But apparently men don't need to worry about a little thing like qualifications or suitability.
Dems have to dump the ‘reach across the aisles’ approach and recognise the current situation - American democracy is under siege, and Leigh’s approach of not conceding an inch is the right one.
@@heather361 Hey Heather, it was the Biden Administration that got more bi-partisan legislation done than any previous one in at least 50 years. Please know your history.
@heather361 The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, The Safer Communities Act (gun safety) and CHIPS and Science act were all bipartisan under Biden.
@@heather361During Biden’s administration the following BIPARTISAN legislation was passed: Infrastructure, Investment and Jobs Act, Safer Communities Act (firearm safety), CHIPS and Science Act. The toughest Bipartisan Border agreement was ready to pass UNTIL Trump told Johnson to squash it so he could run on the problem instead of having it fixed. Try a little research before you spout off and look uneducated.
@@heather361how about the BIPARTISAN border security bill that the democrats created - with the repilublicans - that Trump then killed? That's one instance from the recent past. I'm sure there's more.
FALSE. Hegseth's mother's unflattering comments were from back in 2018 during his nasty divorce. She has since recanted and is now praising him in interviews. I guess she must be a white supremacist as well.
When in history can you point to another potential appointee for a cabinet position whose mother had to come to Congress and grovel, lie and make excuses for her lil boy ? That alone should be a disqualifying reason to keep someone from being the leader of the United States military. Unbelievable how far to the depths of the sewers Trump is scraping to find these unqualified, despicable people.
Anyone who has never attained the rank of Colonel in our military is unfit for consideration to the position of Secretary of Defense. Without a deep understanding of the command structures, and the effects that doctrine and policy developed at the departmental level have on the operational effectiveness of our military as a whole, one is unqualified to be SecDef. The only exception I would make to this is if someone has served as a Senator and as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has no investment ties to any defense contractors, and has had an in-depth education from the Joint Chiefs of Staff on how the military operates and the acceptable use cases, and is willing to be advised by the Joint Chiefs on policy. The SecDef doesn't simply dictate policy to the military, it is a joint effort from civilian and military positions to develop policy and doctrine for our military forces. Most civilians have no idea how our military operates, as the majority of their exposure to it is through poorly researched movies and video games, and supposed news media clips. Pete Hegseth is no more qualified than I am to be nominated to that position, and I served far longer in the military than he did. Sure, he attained the rank of Major in the MN National Guard (he started as an officer, while most of us started as enlisted), but he set an extremely poor example for the troops around him and was passed over for command opportunities because of that. He left the service because it was made clear he would never make Colonel without a serious attitude adjustment, which obviously he was unwilling to do, given all the allegations made about his conduct in multiple organizations after leaving service. If we are to continue to uphold the standards we demand of our service members as the ideal for our military, then the SecDef needs to adhere to those same standards of decorum, conduct, and honor. Hegseth is incapable of adhering to any of those.
@@Jommybutler1234He keeps interrupting HER, not the other way around. And she's on CNN all the time, so good luck with that. And doesn't work well for tv? Since WHEN?
Seemed to me that Leigh was unhinged. I predict she will not be invited back. CNN is being forced to moderate their positions as the exodus of viewers continues.
@@Jommybutler1234 effective debate requires that people dont try and yell over the person speaking, because they dont like their point.. effective debate penalizes people for lying.
How do you know? Do you know his background. What makes you think with her hysterical rants and preposterous statements that she has a clue. Stop sniffing glue.
I look back on the days when Republicans didn’t want people like that in any government role or leadership position. They were about being “upright” and “moral” people. They expected that of Democrats, as well. Now that has changed with the advent of MAGA. I don’t know the circumstances about Pete Hegseth, but I do know that someone who has those issues is not to be trusted.
You KILLED it here! You're setting a powerful example. The way you used sound and nuanced reasoning, cut through black and white thinking, assertively rejected the bullying and dismissiveness - this is, I beleive, exactly how to combat disinformation in such situations. Bold messaging like this is rare in this info ecosystem, and you're not just communicating the reality clearly; you're an inspiration for us to be bold, too - and setting an example of how to do it well.
@@nickiemcnichols5397 I am trolling....would it make it more acceptable if he interrupted a man? Are women more equal than men? Like whats the point of calling out race and sex....I thought your side was all about equality?
Defending an alcoholic who SAs women shows one’s true character. Good on Leigh for clearly pointing out that not only is this guy unfit for SECNAV, but should be imprisoned for his criminal behavior!
These videos are al so similar. Leigh McGowan makes excellent points, Jackass with (R) next to his name talks over her, spouts nonsense, Abby Phillip has to jump in. Good example of what our political dialogue looks like in 2024.
This is why people tune out. This format cnn and other networks have where people talk over each other and FACTS cant get a breath in makes people want to check out. Change your format!! Have a mute button when somone is talking. Geez
Agree with you completely. As a patriotic liberal we can easily find a qualified Republicans or Independent. This guy should remove his name and get help.
Hegseth isn't qualified even he had NO personal issues, PERIOD. HE has NEVER run a large organization, much less a huge one. The fact he wants to take on a job that is clearly over his head proves he's unfit for it.
I’m sorry you have to keep dealing with people being so rude. And that is another piece of the larger picture here: people who might be appointed to such powerful roles ought to have close friends and confidants who are level headed, kind, respectful, well informed, etc. This isn’t a playground; it’s real life!
Hegseth spent the vet org's money like it was his expense account. That's what Trump does, and so do his cabinet picks. Our taxes and charitable contributions are just fun money for them.
Churchill had a drinking problem. Grant had a drinking problem. But if we can’t distinguish between the character and intellect of Churchill, Grant and Hegseth then we are doomed😢
Good job Leigh! And the CNN commentator did a good job quieting everyone and giving you the floor again. What you said is so blatantly unequivocally true that it absurd that we are even here right now! Keep doing what you are doing Leigh! You are smart, articulate and courageous and we need you more than ever! Plus you are RIGHT!!!!!!! Sending you lots of support energetically and supporting your channel financially. It's my duty and my privilege to do so.
Why are they not able to speak without interrupting each other? I wouldn't allow this in my classroom, why are they allowed to do so on tv? I hate watching these videos.
For your health refused to go on CNN it’s not doing you any good it’s not worth it. You might get a free trip to New York however it’s not worth it the aggravation.
Thank you Leigh my god your blood pressure must be so high from hanging around the table with these two sociopaths. You are doing such heroic work. Stand tall and know you are loved for your talents of razor sharp thinking and articulation.They are so essential as we drop down this rabbit hole of history.
I am alcoholic. A drunk, if you prefer that term. I like beer. I like the hard stuff too, but rarely drink it. I keep my house, look after my family and all our critters. I rarely drive, and wait for family to take me out when I want to go. I'm never loud, or destructive. I pay my bills on time, and even manage to save a little, here and there. Its a big house, and 7 adults live here. 4 dogs, 3 cats and my ferret. I manage all that just fine. I would not take the job Hegseth has been offered. Thats just stupid.
What kind of 44 year old man needs his mommy to speak for him and his wife to hold his hand. Who’s going to cover for him when he’s in charge? Or will he be in charge? I agree with Leigh, that man(?) is not qualified.
Leigh didn't say anything that wasn't well established. Everyone on this panel knows this. I just can't decide whether it's an intentional conflict with someone on the left or whether Hegseth's getting so much time and attention because discussing his scandalous behavior is good for ratings. Let's move on.
What qualifications did Bidens appointments have. Remember that one guy in a dress that got caught stealing luggage from an airport. Or any of the other dudes wearing dresses , what were their qualifications?
I knew Jamaal Bowman would find a new Home. Keep your chin up big fella. Americans have a short memory and will soon forget how bad you were for your district
Ask Leigh and Hegseth what the definition of Woman is. Leigh can't answer it. Pretty sure Pete can answer it. ( Bonus: no cackles, no grew up middle class nonsense, no school buses are yellow).
His OWN MOTHER thinks he's a piece of crap. Not 'allegedly'. She wrote it. And we've all read it.
But sure, keep telling us we're overreacting.

Neither is dumb Donald, America is a joke.
20 years....masters from Princeton and harvard? What qualifications does he need?
@@jetskiwillywilly7970a college degree doesn’t qualify one for anything. It merely shows that one finished college. I know. I have two degrees.
That never ever stopped the democrats. Look at some of the clowns they have across govt. You even tried to elect an unqualified Kamala for president.
Thank you for not backing down. If he had been doing that to me. It would not have ended the same way.
You go Leigh!! Speak about the importance of the role. 👏🏽
I don’t think she gets invited back. That type of interrupting, loud argumentative style does not play well on TV. It’s fine for TH-cam.
@@Jommybutler1234He keeps interrupting HER, not the other way around. And she's on CNN all the time, so good luck with that. And doesn't work well for tv? Since WHEN?
@ CNN has a really low bar. They will have to moderate their content or the rating will continue to decline to a point they will be for sale too.
Argumentative? LOL! So, trying to explain something calmly and TRUTHFULLY is argumentative? I guess we know where that's coming from.
Amazing how immature these Republican talking heads act when confronted with truth.
Seemed to me that Leigh was unhinged. I predict she will not be invited back. CNN is being forced to moderate their positions as the exodus of viewers continues.
