Many already have been punished. You start with the little guys, then work your way up to the Kingpin, and along the way, some will flip, becoming a State’s Witness, in exchange for a lesser penalty. Trump’s House of Cards will collapse eventually, and he already knows that.

Well, they may never get punished but the point of this presentation is to give us the voters another side of the story and let us the voters make up our mind as to who is going to be our next President. In my opinion the results of the next Presidential election are far more serious than anyone getting punished. We get out and vote and vote to help restore our faith in our vote and our democracy. It has been tarnished and it is going to take quite a few election cycles to restore our confidence, but I have faith that we will accomplish just that. We must show these people who are election deniers and these people who think that elections are rigged, that we do not agree with them through our vote.
He's trying very hard to pretend that he's not a very biased Rabid TDS suffering Democrat. He's failing with this is despicable propaganda. Everyone has seen The BS this propaganda film will rehash, and Trump is way ahead in swing state polls. This despicable activist should stop already

The current administration needs to show that episode daily until November to ensure every American who would like too see what really happen can judge for themself whether the orange gublet deserves another chance
Well done that man. The truth, by some, doesn't matter but to the majority of true Americans it does. I hope that this documentary helps more people understand who Trump is and why he should never ever be allowed to hold office again!!! Thank you and others like you that are trying to save democracy.
Those who care about our US Constitution and the challenge that faces us in this upcoming election will be watching, and hopefully others that are on the fence about this election will receive enough information to better educate themselves about serious issue and vote accordingly come Nov 2024. Or they may not, but this is what we have in the freedom of the press and there are always two sides to a story, and whether one agrees or not I hope people watch it.

We were taught to respect our rights. Never abuse the right for speech, the right for freedom of press………. We can never tell lies, or publish something to influence people to kill or destroy other people’s property…….and threatened social order!

Strengthening American checks and balances, separation between branches of government, upholding standards of behaviour in all public offices?

Yes, it has become dangerous with Trump and this cult to take for granted in the future that all Americans share the values of truth, honor, integrity, honesty, and loyalty to this Nation.
The democrat platform is about weakness of the USA. Look at the border, look at the riot-mind for months in 2020. January 6 was one day, and heavily prodded, and tragically inconsistently, by the Democrat strategy
It’s “shore up” and what we are witnessing is political persecution. Donald Trump is being persecuted to eliminate him politically. This is a grave concern.
Sorry, but this is inaccurate. People correctly refer to President Obama. On an interview on the weekend they referred to Nikki Haley as Ambassador, her last title at the UN. I'm not thrilled with this convention. It is the reality.
@@grf15where are you getting this convention? Per Emily Post, “When addressing a former President of the United States in a formal setting, the correct form is “Mr. LastName.” (“President LastName” or “Mr. President” are terms reserved for the current head of state.) “ Informally it is acceptable, but formally it is incorrect to refer to a former President as “President LastName”. This goes for O’Bama and Trump equally.
I watched the documentary. It is a MUST for every American to see. It is infuriating and deeply sad to see the ongoing attack on our country by a man - and his GOP enablers and digital profiteers - who is using the pillars of democracy to take it down for his own ends. I will never understand anyone’s decision to throw over 250 years of messy but ultimately triumphant self rule for the grievances and petulance of one man’s neurosis, arrogance and rank criminality. This isn’t cool “anti-establishment” thinking…it’s anarchy.
Cult experts have suggested asking them questions about Trump in a way to get them to begin to examine their own reasons. Like, what were your first thoughts about Trump.
Overturning elections should be left to experts…CIA Coups in Iran (1953) Guatemala (1954) Congo (1960) Dominican Republic (1961) S Vietnam (1963) Brazil (1964) Chile (1973)…
Hi Ron. I'm from a Commonwealth country (not a US citizen). It's a "virus of ignorance" that has spread around the world. We have MAGA creatures in my country. It should be essential viewing to see how easily the Constitution and democracy can be severely compromised and corrupted, when people don't say "NO, this is wrong. We need to stop the lies". Those Republicans were brave. Thank God for their integrity at the time and integrity now for allowing themselves to be interviewed. It should be mandatory viewing in schools to educate future voters in the USA. My sincere hope is that Trump does not get reelected. It will be hell on earth. He's too dangerous and unhinged.
I don’t believe that Trump can or will actually win in November. I understand, in general, that it could happen, statistically. But in probability, I think it would be almost impossible for Trump to win. I realize that Biden is not very well-liked, even though the economy is strong and lots of economic numbers are very good. And yes, he’s made his mistakes and he’s “old” but has he not proven he cares about this country, cares about the middle-class and those who are struggling to get by? I even heard someone say that “Biden really didn’t want to run” but did because it was either him or Trump. I think he saved this country from going over the brink, whether he truly wanted to be president or not, people should be grateful. Do they not ever stop to think of what a nightmare the alternative would be? Instead we hear so much constant complaining about how “awful” Biden is…and this not even from the Right (with not much to back up the claims) when he simply is NOT!
Everyone has heard the BS this propaganda film is going rehash, and he is ahead of Biden in national polls, and way ahead in swing state polls, and that's why this one-sided Horsesh*t.
Especially true for a presidential election, where some disgruntled voters who suffered no individual harm "would have a Court of Law derail the democratic process by invalidating a candidate for whom millions of people voted" Its Undemocratic.
@@BrandyHeng007 Yes, Trump trying to invalidate the will of 81 million voters is absolutely disgusting as was his lack of concern as his rioters rampaged at the Capitol
Allowing Trump to run for ANY public office is akin to saying "let's voluntarily subject our bodies to things we KNOW are antithetical to it's very existence" and, in fact, fight for it. Now I'm gonna go have a cigarette! And we wonder what's wrong. . .
"A house divided against itself, cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other." - Lincoln
Sending Michael good will. I ask all to watch THE CENTURY OF THE SELF. FREUD who I highly dislike.Had a cousin who took it to the US. We become not citizens with needs but consumers of disire leading us to corporate fascism. I agree. May Michaels film help us heal.💙
Barr describing it to trump as "BS", I think shows that he was trying to put it in a way that trump would be able to comprehend . . . Saying it was fraudulent would have probably been above trumps vocabulary level.
Trump is the lightening rod but let's be clear and mourn the fact that a LARGE portion of our country LOVES everything about him and what he represents... facts!
Unfortunately, even intensive, thorough, investigative journalism wont make a bit of difference to his cult followers. Not one bit! It will only solidify the beliefs, that the rest of us have held for yesrs now. But, maybe it will move some of them to vote, to save our democracy, when they otherwise would not? 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Frontline is a favourite for us. Rusty B is level headed. As many have said, the people who need to see this, don’t watch PBS. Such a shame. We hope common sense will prevail. Regardless which party you support.
I don't live in the USA. Thank God. Necessary viewing by all Americans. Will they be able to stop the Trump machine? I hope so. He is very dangerous and evil. Not just America, but the world will suffer if he gets in again.
N it's NOT OVER he is still "working" on Dismantling our Democracy with his Continued Lies , DIVISIVE n Derogatory Rhetoric Against the Rule of Law n All our Government Institutions as he "Runs" for Office again. the GQP Party n All the People that still support him in spite of what he did in January 6 r complicit with him.
Ya right, so close. Stop being brainwashed. Every problem we have today would have been avoided if Trump remained in office. Unsecure borders, Iran is rich, inflation, etc...
Yes, the founders failed to think there could ever be someone such a low-life to ever be elected President! So they failed to put protections in against criminals like donnie!
This is very needed, and I am going to watch it. But in my mind, the problem is that people who need to see this do not watch PBS.
Most if them are barely literate. 😢
That is not accurate....but many of them are elderly and fear the increasing diversity of our Nation.@@michaeloconnor5680
Or maybe just apathetic distracted, “both-sided” into paralysis. If this sparks their attention and motivates them to vote, there is hope!
That is the underlying problem. Plus getting them to accept the truth is near impossible when they don't care about the truth.
I saw someone say that the mega followers don’t mind that TR is using their donations to pay his fines and lawyers. If this is true he will not stop campaigning. It is a way he can get money to pay his fines. How horrible that a man who is worshiped by people who believe in him are not going to benefit if he does win. He only cares about money, his money.
Imagine if the algorithm was tuned to put things like this in front of people who don't have a care.
When do all of these horrible people get punished??

Power to the People
People decides their President of Choice
@@BrandyHeng007 Yes, Trump trying to invalidate the will of 81 million voters is absolutely disgusting as was his lack of concern as his rioters rampaged at the Capitol
Allowing Trump to run for ANY public office is akin to saying "let's voluntarily subject our bodies to things we KNOW are antithetical to it's very existence" and, in fact, fight for it. Now I'm gonna go have a cigarette!
And we wonder what's wrong. . .
Mr. Sreenivasan is one of the best interviewers around today.
"A house divided against itself, cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other." - Lincoln
Political & cultural divide
There's another PBS documentary about the Supreme Court being captured. Worth watching
Where is interview or testimony of Mark Meadows? He knows it ALL - as Trump's Chief of Staff!!
Very honest interview 👏
As a sustaining Member of NPR, PBS etc. I’ll watch it. However so many don’t seem to care, pay attention etc. my hopes dash.
Thanks 😊
Sending Michael good will. I ask all to watch THE CENTURY OF THE SELF. FREUD who I highly dislike.Had a cousin who took it to the US. We become not citizens with needs but consumers of disire leading us to corporate fascism. I agree. May Michaels film help us heal.💙
Perfect timing...
America is great country ,but Trump seriously?? … find your way America .
Great Heroes!!!
Should be a good doc for perspective this year.
I watched the half of it and it was very powerful.
These testimonies are from the well-known and longtime conservative Republicans.
Thanks to Mr Kirk, and i hope this documentary helps the scotus consider the immunity case, that still the judges are sitting on it🤔🤔🤔⁉️⁉️⁉️
Barr describing it to trump as "BS", I think shows that he was trying to put it in a way that trump would be able to comprehend . . . Saying it was fraudulent would have probably been above trumps vocabulary level.
Probably😅
Hahaha
Trump is the lightening rod but let's be clear and mourn the fact that a LARGE portion of our country LOVES everything about him and what he represents... facts!
That is a stinging indictment of so many aspects of US culture
I know it breaks my heart. I have family and friends that have shown their true beliefs by supporting Trump, even my Representatives and Senators.
More good work. Thanks.
Is Michael Kirk the Harriet Beecher Stowe of our 2024 America?
A perfect fool isn't a perfect fool.

While we keep on dreaming of living in a perfect 🌎 world.
Unfortunately, even intensive, thorough, investigative journalism wont make a bit of difference to his cult followers. Not one bit!
It will only solidify the beliefs, that the rest of us have held for yesrs now.
But, maybe it will move some of them to vote, to save our democracy, when they otherwise would not?
🤞🏼🤞🏼
Thank you ✨🇺🇸✨💙✨💃✨
Nothing but the truth!
Nothing but the facts !
This is so important
Thank You
❤👍❤👍❤
Lock Trump up, prison 2024!! Maga
Can wait for the Biden Documentary from this truth teller.
Frontline is a favourite for us. Rusty B is level headed. As many have said, the people who need to see this, don’t watch PBS. Such a shame.
We hope common sense will prevail. Regardless which party you support.
Go get him Jack!!!
Democracy on Trial!
The very best information that people in American can see here. We are living in a very dangerous World!
I don't live in the USA. Thank God. Necessary viewing by all Americans. Will they be able to stop the Trump machine? I hope so. He is very dangerous and evil. Not just America, but the world will suffer if he gets in again.
Thanks for allowing comments.
PBS is arrogant in never allowing comments.
That needs to change especially because it feeds on Public monies.
Thankiuu !
Thank you for your thought.
As a Trumpist in NH said of DT, "He follows the principles of God." Where does the US goes with such lunacy?
Find another God! Trump is not religious. It's a conspiracy that he even listens to God. Why would Trump, if he thinks he is God?
NO HITLER IN AMERICA
Rusty Bowers❤
Trump came so close to destroying our democracy and showed us how unprepared we were.
N it's NOT OVER he is still "working" on Dismantling our Democracy with his Continued Lies , DIVISIVE n Derogatory Rhetoric Against the Rule of Law n All our Government Institutions as he "Runs" for Office again. the GQP Party n All the People that still support him in spite of what he did in January 6 r complicit with him.
Grammar critic here. Your sentence should be in present tense.
Ya right, so close. Stop being brainwashed. Every problem we have today would have been avoided if Trump remained in office. Unsecure borders, Iran is rich, inflation, etc...
America isn't out of the woods yet. And many are just whistling past the graveyard and and . Ok, I'll stop. Concerned bystander.
Yes, the founders failed to think there could ever be someone such a low-life to ever be elected President! So they failed to put protections in against criminals like donnie!
Hell yea Frontline!
