This guest should be interviewed on Fox News!!!!
I agree, however I suspect they would edit it to fit their narrative. On the other hand, if this discussion between Anthony and Miles was played in full on Fox, it just might make a difference!
This interview needs to go viral.
Candidates for president must be required to fill out that form before being placed on the ballot. The legislature needs to make that happen.
Why did Trump not fill out the form ? Or not required ? Some thing wrong with the POTUS system ?
@@sieutran9085 Only required for government appointees and employees, apparently. Anyone who is running for president should be required to do the same and this should have been taken care of long ago.
No person should be idolized.
Wow this guy is impressive. Fantastic vocabulary and many important things to say!
Read his book. He is a great writer and is no dummie. Great vocab.
It's too bad that being honest has negative connotations associated with it in the way there is with being considered a whistleblower. I wish more people were able to be honest and pullback the curtain to expose the truth.
Really enjoyed this interview. Miles Taylor is intelligent and articulate, and he helped me understand a few things. We need more people like him!
I LOVE MILES TAYLOR! He’s also a funny guy who brings out humor in some serious situations that can be overwhelming and depressing.
I really appreciaie Anthony Davis as an interviewer. It is rare to hear an interviewee be allowed to talk for whole stretches uninterrupted. So many interviewers are more interested to holding forth with their own opinions than letting the listener hear those of the person being interviewed.
My deepest respect for Miles.
Just finished reading Blowback.
This guy should be played on a loop on every f ing network!
So good. Have him back once a week!❤❤❤
Thank you, Anthony and Miles 😊
Such an important guest.
People like you and your guest, give me comfort and hope. Very concerned in Germany ...
Excellent 👍🏾
God Help U.S.
God help America if unhinged Trump wins the presidency. Sam from UK.
He just did his job, unbelievable. How dare he?!
He is a joke. Everyone one who worked for Trump is making excuses.
@@saigejones3363 No your the joke, he is calling it out for what it is, hes being honest about what another Trump Presidency will look like, these people were just doing their jobs.Trump's the problem, not this man
Do you know the history of Miles Taylor? Clearly not. 1. He was recruited into the DHS by former Secretary & WH Chief of Staff, John Kelly. He wrote the op-ed in the NYT in 2018 titled, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration “ under Anonymous. Followed by a book titled, “A Warning” In 2020, he revealed that he was anonymous while campaigning against Trump’s 2020 run. Taylor was the first former Trump administration official to endorse Biden & launched a group of ex-officials to oppose Trump’s re-election. He gave up everything, literally everything to speak out. When he speaks in this video about the bystander effect, he spoke the truth and then others followed. It takes one to break the bystander effect and Miles Taylor was in fact that one, if everything I have already stated is not enough to convince you, what price are you willing to pay for speaking out?
@@saigejones3363are you aware of Miles Taylor’s history? While Trump was in office, he worked in the DHS, including as chief of staff. In 2018 he wrote the familiar NYT op-ed titled “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration” under the name Anonymous. He gave up everything, literally everything to speak the truth, research what he did after the op-ed. What are you willing to sacrifice to protect our country from someone like Trump?
A Civic Activist, Miles.The words, "Civic Activist" sound more honest and courageous than "whistle-blower,"--- words implying helplessness an/or victimhood. Cheers ~
God forbid we are ever helpless and/ or a victim. How could we ever be like Jesus?
AND YOUR EXPLANATION AMERICA SHOULD FOLLOW THE SAME NOTES TO TAKE ON THE SUPREME COURT.
Brilliant interview.
This is a very intelligent man, whose politics I would probably disagree with intensely. That discussion would be seriously satisfying and fun. I’m going to have to get that book.
What a great piece of reporting
Thank you, Anthony.
Solid interview, leaves one even more determined to do everything in our power to keep TRump out of the White House. Thank you Anthony and Miles.👍
Thank you Anthony, this episode was very informative!! 💕 😊
Thank you. Enjoy your weekend shows.
Great interview!!
Outstanding information and interview!
Great work Anthony!! You’re doing great work in the US. We miss you in the UK, but you’re key to stopping the orange idiot so keep it up 🙂
Informative and compelling interview. I'm off to look for more interviews with this gentleman
Wonderful interview, Antony. Please bring Miles Taylor back again.
Yes, very good.
So appreciate all you do.
It was worse than we EVER THOUGHT! 😮
That was f***ing amazedly scary. Always felt that whatever, The Idiot said, he means...
To my neighbours, to the south, please vote Blue 💙 If not everything will change, I guarantee it.
Always a pleasure, thank you Anthony .
Excellent summary
Miles Taylor I personally appreciate your revelation that we are all human and born to make mistakes. I would add to that , we have to learn from our mistakes. I feel like Trump is one of the biggest mistakes politically in my lifetime if not the worst.
Exactly, that’s what mistakes are for, learning by doing! ❤
So you think 10 million illegals counted in America under Biden is ok right?
Thx Anthony ‼️💙💙💙💙
I have Miles Taylors book. Although I may not agree with some of his political policies, I agree with everything he says about living in truth and remaining true to your principles. What Miles Taylor says about Trump using the Intel Agencies for his own personal interests scares me more than anything.
Why have we never heard what happened to those protesters that were disappeared
The "historical analog" is Adolf Hitler.☹️
Loved it!
Here we are!😉🤨
Thank you Anthony for interviewing Miles Taylor a decent , courageous human being. He has exposed Trump for who he is . God help America if he wins the presidency. Keep safe Miles. Sam from UK
This is the best discussion to which I've listened in many years. Thank you for your contribution to the collective sanity of the people🤓
Thank you !!!
I wouldn't want a Lamborghini. I want the money one costs. It would help a lot!
💙🤗💙
I love to watch and listen to Anthony Davis. He is highly intelligent and he has such a pleasant voice. He really makes so many great points and gets right to the heart of the matter.
So scary. We should all know what Trump will go be like 2nd term. Leverage is not for US but for himself . Always
True patriots give a warning to 2024 voters, thank you both to keep these important messages
Thank you both!!
"Inclinations to illegality." I'll be using variations of that in future comments, Miles. Thanks for reporting on his true nature!! Very helpful.
Why isn't this common knowledge?
People don't read
Thank you for telling us what we need to know about what might come if trump gets in again what a nightmare keep up the good fight and keep us informed
I do believe we peaked in the 70s and 80s 😢
I remember he had a friend running veterans affairs out in Florida that had no experience and he fired the regular guy and the news found out about it and he gotten a lot of trouble
I wonder if the former Trump WH staff who say they are voting for Trump are misleading and just saying this to avoid retribution. I hope so.
Miles - I win the Lamborghini, twice watched full episodes plus the clip, you got the wrong name, but I am in KS 😅. Kidding.
Miles I think you are right in this SHOULD be the most watched video this week! 🇺🇸
I agree with you Mr. Davis. The personality disorder DJT has is the essence of how he functions. I think Mr. Taylor has made that very clear.
So many important tidbits here!!! Wish I knew how to help STOP another Trump administration.
Vote blue, encourage others to vote, offer rides to local polling site, volunteer for a local candidate, volunteer for the election, tell people in your life who are on the fence about the real threat a second Trump term will bring the truth, share this video… anything and everything you are able to do counts. From one blue vote to starting a group to volunteering, there are opportunities out there. Check out “On Democracy” & “In the Hot Seat” with Fred P Wellman, he regularly shares opportunities to support democracy! (He’s also on TH-cam both solo and under the Meidas Touch Network channel)
Part of the animosity could be personal, in a way, because the people who reveal what was going on behind the scenes also reveal and destroy the comfortable illusion the “scenes” are meant to disguise. (Sometimes I wish I didn’t have to get so wordy to say exactly what I mean, but I want the nuances. They’re important.)
I like you good job
This is so great but the people that need to hear this aren’t listening.
I still don’t understand how so many people can be so ‘scared shitless’ of such a lame, weak, crumbling man. His only real power over people is that he gets them to do bad things. That’s it. And it happens because, en masse, they have a lack or an absence of character.
Exactly why he is dangerous.
Read his book, it's eye opening
Miles Taylor is definitely the most interesting personality from the Trump administration! Back in 2020 I was bingewatching every interview of him just like I did for Bolton. He literally predicted on CNN that Trump wouldn’t accept loss and that there’d be « *a flurry of litigations* » !!
I too was an anonymous Trump staffer. I told nobody what I did and nobody asked what I did.
Stuck together? Even if it’s for unethical reasons?
The misery caused by Milton Friedman's "profit, only profit" theory led directly to Trump.
trump getting back into the WH is not an option 🥱
Did trump get trigged by this interview? He whined about Miles recently and I wasn't sure why...if so, congrats Anthony🎉🎉🎉🎉
I admire his realistic views.
Great businessmen have a mandate to make profit. The US is not a corporation.
It is a sad state of affairs when it is considered courageous to tell the truth. It is not courageous, it is what our default behavior should be. People should not ever be chastised or attacked for speaking the truth. And when I say speaking truth, I mean, objective, verifiable fact. Not something that somebody says is the truth just because they want it to be.
"Five Minute News" is 60 minutes.
This is “The Weekend Show” by Anthony Davis under the umbrella of his other show, “Five Minute News”
Imagine a president that will base sending humanitarian aid to a state on whether they voted for him!! ABSURDLY UNFIT!! Dammit, man!! And that's how Trump thinks!!
HONESTY
Foregone CONCLUSION-
I gotta disagree with Miles on a business person making a good government servant government is a service not a for profit business we need people applying for the job who have worked their way up in public service so they understand how to govern, business is dedicated to profit government is dedicated for the benefit of the people
Agree, business people running the country are not a good mix imo. Business people generally do possess some skills, like leadership qualities, that are necessary in a President however the processes and chain(s) of command and norms & decorum are so very different as are the consequences, whether positive or negative
It’s like everything one is doing something for the better and get backlash but those people reap and enjoy the benefits . Those are the ones of whom do nothing but sit back as cowards and have no thought
This is absolute drivel, who is this guy what has he ever built, nothing is my bet.
How could Homeland Security not game out response to nuclear attack from day one?😮
He is so suffricial in his thinking, so far he is a joke and I am 3/4's through this interview. 😊
"Politics is tribal." = useful.
Absolute dog water
Weird, you define a whistleblower as a person ,that stands behind the decision to tell truth about a certain topic officially. The Wb gets prosecuted and still would repeat the own process again. To me that sound like a person with high integriety, a passion for truth and a great social value. To sum this up, a very nice , loveable human, what´s wrong with that? I would be proud to be described this way.
does miles taylor have his own youtube channel?
Very interesting and knowledgeable person imo.
I am politically homeless now, not right or left, but more information has been coming out and you are informative, but you also are telling half truths.
Sticking together is equivalent to preserving White Supremacy, and ole B-rated actor was all for that !
Dang. I wanted the car...
100 disagree we don’t need a businessmen that’s like a lot of bosses
The Trump administration was unprepared for a pandemic and unresponsive when the coronavirus came to the United States. The failure to take decisive action, according to epidemiologists, likely cost tens of thousands of lives. But months into the COVID-19 outbreak, the administration's incompetence and impatience continue to have deadly consequences.
Trump began promoting hydroxychloroquine, a drug used for malaria and lupus, as a potential "game-changer" on March 19:
And I think it’s going to be very exciting. I think it could be a game changer and maybe not. And maybe not. But I think it could be, based on what I see, it could be a game-changer. Very powerful. They’re very powerful.
On March 28, without any clinical trials demonstrating effectiveness in treating COVID-19, the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization for hydroxychloroquine. This is an excerpt from the fact sheet issued by the FDA:
Hydroxychloroquine sulfate has not been approved for the treatment of COVID-19. It has been used experimentally to treat certain people with COVID-19, including hospitalized patients...Hydroxychloroquine sulfate is experimental because we do not know if it works for COVID-19. It is not approved by FDA for the treatment of COVID-19, but emergency use has been authorized for adults and adolescents who weigh 50 kg (110 pounds) or more and are hospitalized with COVID-19 if a clinical trial is not available or you are not able to participate in a clinical trial. There is limited information known about the safety and effectiveness (whether this will make you better) of using hydroxychloroquine sulfate for hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
Notwithstanding these limitations, The Trump administration began to use hydroxychloroquine to treat veterans hospitalized with COVID-19. A study of 368 veterans, published on April 21, revealed that it did not go well. Not only did it not prove an effective treatment, but use of hydroxychloroquine was also associated with higher death rates.
In this study, we found no evidence that use of hydroxychloroquine...reduced the risk of mechanical ventilation in patients hospitalized with Covid-19. An association of increased overall mortality was identified in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine...These findings highlight the importance of awaiting the results of ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled studies before widespread adoption of these drugs.
11.4% of patients who received a standard course of treatment in the study, and were not administered hydroxychloroquine, died. Among those who received hydroxychloroquine, 27.8% died.
On Friday, April 24, the FDA "issued an alert warning doctors against prescribing the drug for COVID-19 outside of hospitals and research settings because of the risks of serious side effects and death." But the Trump administration continued to treat patients with hydroxychloroquine through the Department of Veterans Affairs, which operates the nation's largest health system.
Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie dismissed the research as "an observational study" done on "a small number of veterans." Wilkie claimed that hydroxychloroquine has proved effective among "middle-age and younger veterans" in "working in stopping the progression of the disease." There is no public data that supports that claim.
According to Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the Veterans Administration has recently placed a "bulk order" for "$208,000 worth of the hydroxychloroquine." In light of the known risks, Schumer is "demanding answers as to what the agency intends to do with its fresh supply." Schumer suggested veterans are "being used for clandestine COVID-19 drug testing."
The Veterans Administration has not disclosed "how many people have received the drug, and why they were given it." The department will not reveal what guidance, if any, it has issued to doctors regarding use of the drug to treat COVID-19 patients.
The administration's plan to "flood the zone" with hydroxychloroquine
Last week, Popular Information detailed allegations by whistleblower Dr. Rick Bright, the former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. As director of that agency, Bright was responsible "for preparing the nation for influenza pandemics and coordinating production, acquisition, and delivery of medical countermeasures during a pandemic response."
Bright repeatedly raised concerns about the safety of hydroxychloroquine. But he also describes that, despite those concerns, the administration was executing a plan to "flood" the northeast with the drug.
[T]he Administration nevertheless continued to push for expanded, unsupervised access to chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, in blatant violation of the EUA issued by its own FDA and regardless of the risk to the American public. On April 4, 2020, hours after President Trump once again touted hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19 during a White House press conference, HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Adm. Brett Giroir, M.D., instructed FEMA Administrator Peter Gaynor, Vice Director for Logistics of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Rear Adm. John Polowczyk, and Dr. Kadlec to mobilize the nation’s supply chain to “flood NY and NJ with treatment courses [of hydroxychloroquine].”
Bright was ultimately demoted when he shared his concerns about the safety of hydroxychloroquine with a reporter.
New studies, bad results
The largest study of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 patients was published Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study looked at "1438 patients hospitalized in metropolitan New York." The study found that there "were no significant differences in in-hospital mortality between patients who received hydroxychloroquine with or without azithromycin and patients who received neither drug." In other words, it did not work.
Among those who were treated with hydroxychloroquine, 19.9% died. Among those who received standard treatment, without hydroxychloroquine, 12.7% died. Another group received hydroxychloroquine in combination with another drug, azithromycin. Among that group, 25.7% died. These differences were not considered statistically significant, although the use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin together was associated with "significantly elevated levels of cardiac arrest.”
Another study was published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, which looked at 1,376 COVID-19 patients. That study found no "potential benefit or harm" from hydroxychloroquine.
Veterans group sounds the alarm
It's not just Schumer who is concerned about hydroxychloroquine. In a recent statement, the CEO of Iraq and Afganistan Veterans of America, Jeremy Butler, asked a number of questions:
Why were veterans who were receiving treatment from a federal agency being treated with an unproven and speculative drug? What was the approval process used by doctors, patients and their families in discussing and agreeing upon this treatment option? At what point did the VA know that the results were this dire and when did they act upon those results? What are the VA’s current procedures for approving and administering the drug?
...VA’s opaque use of sick veterans in conducting a drug treatment study is absolutely wrong
Thus far, there have been no answers.
I could not finish reading your post tbh, my eyes are too blurry from the tears. Why do we test on our Veterans? They have sacrificed enough, why them? Test it on the freakin anti-vaxxers who failed to follow common sense mandates &/or recommendations and instead threw “Covid Parties” 🤦🏻♀️ 😢😢😢
Revelations just wow so so sad😮😢😢
All the Republicans that have stood up to Trump are highly respected by me. I have even come to really like a lot of them.
We have got to have honesty because it is the best policy🌎☀️💙
He wasted months, years millions hassling Kathy Griffin over a poor taste satirical photo, ffs.
Wow he looks different
How old is this guy ?
Does Trump presently own DHS C IA FBI National Guard the way he owns the Supreme Court and the Republican Congress? Is he in fact 2/3rds of the way into the White House already?
It has looked to me for at least 2 years that Trump has been running a shadow govt all along. I think tfg kept his head low for about 6 months to a year, but when DOJ didn't go after him for Jan 6 - he came back with a vengeance becuz he had allies in Congress.
aren't a lot of magas also fans of bernie sanders? and if so then maybe bernie could go on a listening tour and conduct interventions with them all? i'm half kidding but i think it should be considered.
No they're not. That makes no sense at all. Completely diametrically opposed
They’re scared of democratic socialism. 😊
Interesting, scary discussion. I hear that a lot, that trump "kept us out of war." His really ignorant, stupid approach toward foreign policy scares me more than his greediness that will make a mess of our economy. I get so tired of MAGAs small-minded argument that trump was better because bread cost less then.
Couldn't agree with you more. MAGAs are so stupid I don't even reply to their comments anymore.
