You explained it better than any US news outlet. If it were me who did what Trump did, I would be in prison while the trial commenced.
Yeah I’d say that’s probably the main difference between you and Trump
Rule number 1 of American news: get it only from non-American sources
For God's sake! Why do they keep charging him? Can't they just let his batteries go flat?
😂🤣😂😅 Thanks! I needed that laugh!
this should be aired on US i feel half of the steps are left out by the US media and it looks no where as bad as it is , someone should splice him saying i know i could have declassified it and no one is above the law and stat playing it over loud speakers when ever he makes a public appearance .
Great to see you on TH-cam. This is one of the best political podcasts of the last 5 years and this move can only mean more exposure. And more people hearing the facts.
Super engaging style of journalism, please keep it up. thanks
Big fan of the entire series of If you're listening podcasts and now videos. Very informative and entertaining. Great work Matt and team
After all these seasons, you’re not what I envisioned! Love your poddy so much!
This is my favourite podcast, now on TH-cam! Well done!
I'm so excited about the direction youre taking the podcast Matt! Can't wait to see what you cover in future episodes 😁
I sure hope they had to archive the weather map he helped to clarify with a Sharpie
They did 😂 can't remember who it was but recently it was reported that they said the Archives wanted things like the Kim love letters, the Sharpie map, etc lolll
Huge fan of the podcast, great to put a face to the voice and see it on TH-cam!
such a good summary
I really enjoyed this. Well summarised and taught me alot about the situation in a fun way. Looking forward to seeing more of these video styles in the future!
Somewhere, someone is going to take that "how they faked the moon landing" as a soundbite, and present it as evidence, pretending that he wasn't being sarcastic.
May Beavan is fantastic and If You're Listening is so enjoyable and informative. Love it.
This is funnier than Hard Quizz. Much funnier.
While this is not Planet America it is enriching nonetheless
Of course he thought they were his property. Rule books are anathema to him because there are no pictures in them
😂😅
Excellent production .
So good Matt! the extra effort of video for your pod cast is a fabulous product. please stay here on TH-cam.
Matt love the strategically placed boxes!
The only journalist from the ABC that I’ll listen to.
I love Matt Bevan and bringing video to this format is awesome
You're on TH-cam! ❤ Love this new format
Thank you Mat Bevan Great production and content. Keep up your succinct documentation
Awesome job Matt & If your listening team!
"Archive footage."
I bet you're real pleased with yourself for that one. 😂
These episodes are one of the highlight of days 😊
Trump has said a lot about the boxes, but one thing he has never discussed is why he took them. What use did he have for them?
Sell them of course.. trump is a traitor to the nation..
I think we can take a guess, based on his typical behaviour. But I also noticed he has never explained 'why' beyond 'because I can!'.
Narcissism and self-aggrandisment.
He commit all is crimes by the book, he is the only one that can do whatever he wants and is fallowers still love him.
Excellent review. Thanks.
I wish the news were this detail
The box addressed to Mar-a-lago on the desk is a nice touch.
If even half of what he admitted to in his interviews is what he's convicted of them he should be serving prison time, not running for president again.
Its all fake, scripted
Unfortunately, the U.S. Constitution doesn’t rule out Presidents running office from prison. It obviously it didn't occur to the Founding Fathers that a criminal could be supported by a political party, or people voting for that political party. So, if Trump does end up in jail, he could still be President of the United States. Both outcomes are possible simultaneously.
DeSantis, another Republican running for office also has legal issues; human trafficking: immigrants, etc.
@@Userxyz-z2d The script writers are on strike in the U.S., though.
Great work yet again.
Big ups to Matt for his onging if youre listening series. Love it
Brilliant Bevo
So happy to see this move to TH-cam. 🙌
I love the podcast but it’s great to have the option to watch it instead
'Henchmen' is a bit melodramatic. 'Employees' would be more appropriate. That's my only nitpick. Love your work Matt.
Trump just keeps losing over and over again.
can't wait for de classified ufo jokes
Is that what you look like!🙂 In all seriousness, as a long time follower of your series, thanks so much.
Excellent summary 👍 I’ve been following the escapades of Trump for the last 6 years (has it really been that long?) At times it has been like watching the worst soap opera ever, in real time. But, you are a breath of fresh air. Well done.
The original Russia Are You Listening podcast and the America Are You Listening podcast that sprung from it have been excellent records of the facts behind the that mess of a presidency. Glad to see the show come to TH-cam and found a new audience.
@@AZ2PM Are the Russia if you're listening podcasts still up? I remember coming across it a long while back, but I lost my phone and, subsequently, forgot all about it.
I'm going to look for them, now this videos over.
@@17th_Street_Preacher You posted your comment in the wrong place. This video is about Trump's criminal activities. I think what you are looking for is the third door on the right.
@@Justanotherhumanonthenetthey won't, that's why they voted back the establishment. Trump is still much loved and the country is very much divided
Trump replaced scripted drama for me. I'm digging this final act.
The ending has been dragging on too long, though!
Good to see a face attached to the voice. Hello! Love your work!
Have love all your “If you are listening” podcasts. So good to see you on U tube.
Great video. You keep mentioning "his" boxes. I'm not sure that's correct.
A good summary of the hole Trump has dug for himself.
Great summary, really enjoyed this.
Great to see you on TH-cam. Love all the past podcasts.
Love the podcast!
Congratulations on being promoted to video. This is a big step up
hi Matt, youve a magic career in front of you mr. im sure its been pretty good already any ways. taa many many much 4 this revealing so well covered story dear sir!. brilliant!!.
Trump is nuts. End of story.
Of all the things that he's said and done over the years, his obsession with his Beautiful Mind Boxes is what's going to undo him.
This schadenfreude is **chefs kiss** delicious.
Thanks Blunty3000
Sorry but can you get rid of the background music! It’s distracting…we are not children!!
There it is PMURT didn't understand any thing about political policy and procedures!
This video sums it up PERFECTLY.
this wasn’t episode one…? I’m confused about what you’re actually doing with this series.
well
You’re telling me this guys best studio is a dirty storage room?
Its insane he was allowed to keep them for so long.
Not quite hoisted by his own petard - but he may as well've been.
Could he have desclassified the nuclear codes?! if he can - as president- desclassify anything?
Under the Atomic Energy Act, information like nuclear codes or anything to do with atomic energy can only be declassified through a process that, by the statute, involves the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense.
Sure - it was Covfefe.
Matt - great content as ever. But could you please stop the infuriating musical accompaniment. You don’t need it. You’re that smart - but the music somehow makes your content sound smart-Alec like. Please desist with the music. I’m sure your following will rise exponentially if you do so.
Why did people vote for him? One of the greatest mysteries of our time.
Hilary had secret info in her bathroom on hard drive.
It's not mentioned .
Stupid is as stupid does-forest gump-
"I love the uneducated"
False consciousness and the fact that Obama didn't meet expectations.
Are you forgetting , he was up against Hillary, who deleted like 100 thousand emails illegally. But ABC doesn't really attack Democrats.
Omg. I love this format! Hilarious and good storytelling
ppl wanted Baiden. so you get him know ppl want him out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is incredible to me that this man was ever elected to this office. And to think he is leading in the polls to win his party nomination is beyond belief.
So what happens now?
I predict that if Mr Trump gets jail he'll be freed by his supporters by force if necessary. An echo of Jan 6.
May? 2024? Fxk.
Well explained. Not that anyone cares about his motives but it shows just how harmless the whole thing was.
Very droll!! By the book! 😂😂😂
@@Justanotherhumanonthenet I loved Matt's commentary, just because it is so tongue in cheek. As for facts, I like to go to primary sources. I've read the first (speaking) indictment. The allegations are powerful. I'll download this superceding indictment in a few hours and have a good read. As for Truth Social - I look at it regularly, although the heavy use of ALL caps makes for slow reading. Interesting fact - I've heard that the Truth Social HQ is located in a well known coastal city in Massachusetts, although I'm not quite sure which county (Essex?) it's in????
Matt who ?
Do a piece on Hunter Biden
What more is there to do beyond the news headlines? The story is too short. Also, what has Hunter Biden got to do with running the U.S.A? What is the relevancy? This wouldn't be 'whataboutism' by any chance, would it?
This video production (music etc.) is almost too childish for the content. Almost!
I suppose the subject is a childish president.
Telling Trump stories needs the Benny Hill music playing in the background.
Bidens turn next.
@@17th_Street_Preacher I don't think Biden's that into you. Unrequited love obsession sux. 💔 😢
Where is the evidence of Biden's crimes? I've been waiting, and the suspense is killing me.
@@daniellamcgee4251 It's coming! Don't you worry about that. The ABC won't cover it until they absolutely have to.
@tonybloomfield5635 It's difficult to report on no evidence presented, and no criminal charges. If you had any tangible evidence, I am pretty sure you would use it to make your point. You still haven't provided evidence, so I don't believe you have any. Just like the 60 failed cases trying to prove Biden campaign voter fraud. Nothing. Still waiting....
@17th_Street_Preacher Are you scared Biden is going to retire, too? Then you won't see him so much? Don't worry, you know Hillary hasn't gone away completely, and has done interviews recently. But I understand, it's not the same as daily media presence. 😞 I honestly can't see the attraction to either of them, but you do you!
Wi Chunt !
Jack Smith is done chunting the Wi. The Wi was easily found caught in the self-made Wi trap. I guess Wis don't use spells to keep their traps safely shut.
Pity you don’t do the same in depth reporting on Australia’s Vote on the Yes campaign and please leave the public comments switched on,you don’t seem to have a problem castigating American Politicians as it suits your left wing agenda
May the Almighty God bless this great Nation of Hope😊
It is so heartbreaking to see in america,the persecution of political enemies like stalin, hitler and mao did. Hard times are ahead people. Very hard times.
It's not, its the persecution of people who committed crimes. We are a rules and laws based democracy. You can hear, in Trump's own voice, him breaking the law.
Do you wanna do one on the classified documents Biden took as vice president? Or the ones Pence took?
Why? They gave them back
@@melissamarsh2219 after how many years? And after prompting by who? My point here is they all took documents and they only returned them after trump was in trouble for it.
I recommend you watch the video again. Or the first time. It was explained why. Trump is in legal trouble for obstructing justice in multiple ways, and not returning the documents, and showing classified documents to random people. Biden and Pence returned the small number of outstanding documents before Archives noticed they were missing. Yes, they seem to have been prompted by the FBI raid. Trump's truckload of missing documents obviously drew immediate attention in Archives.
It is great to see that Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and kicking.
Soyboy talking sheet about trump.. nothing new here.
Interesting to hear the term "henchmen"? Why use that term unless your biased against conservatives.
If you look up the definitions of 'henchmen' some of them are apt for this context. This isn't about political parties, it is about Trump's employees and some of them committing crimes at his behest.
@@daniellamcgee4251 If there was any validity to your statement, then Trump would already be incarcerated.
Im confused.. this channel is called ABC in depth, but it appears to be highly opinionated and partisan propaganda designed and delivered in a format for children under 10 years old.. Australian citizens deserve better for their money
The woke media industrial complex has nothing better to do than whining and screaming about Trump the whole day.
I didn't hear any whining or screaming. I heard a very coherent and matter-of-fact explanation of the Trump-boxes issue.
