Taylor walks around on stage in indecent attire, not very wise, but i guess it sells .. I am embarassed for women, it is shameful makes men shun us decent women and want a low moral character she still has no man of her own
Harris has been Vice President for over 3 1/2 years. Before that she was a Senator, and before that she was Attorney General of the country’s most populous state. Anybody who doesn’t know who she is by now simply hasn’t paid attention for the last, oh, 15 to 20 years.
Most intelligent people in Australia support Harris. The USA is NOT the greatest nation on Earth!! I guess it's the most powerful!! for ALL THE WRONG REASONS. KAMALA HARRIS is one of the few hopes you have to STOP the billionaires from taking TOTAL CONTROL of the USA.
It won't be enough until Kamala is sworn in as 47th president. She is still the underdog. So please get out and vote and remind your family and friends to vote for her. Your children and grandchildren's lives are in the balance.
Yes I can't wait to vote for a Communist who has NO IDEA how to run the country. The only thing she managed to accomplish is to double the price of food and gas, and 81 million dopes voted for that.

@@alainroccamo3641 Yes, Obama handed Trump a vibrant economy after he inherited a mess from Bush. Trump then added more to our national debt per year than any other president in our history, embarrassed us internationally, strengthened Iran by pulling out of the nuclear deal, weakened market share for our soybean farmers with his tariffs, and mishandled a national emergency so badly we couldn't even buy toilet paper.

@@alainroccamo3641 low gas prices? In 2020 no one was driving. It's called supply and demand. Context matters. Also, did you know that in 2023 we produced more domestic crude oil than at any other time in our history?
@@alainroccamo3641 another little inconvenient fact: Trump wasn't in office 2 weeks before his ego got a Navy Seal unalived with his decision to greenlight going into Yemen. Obama had already said there was not enough intelligence on the ground to do it, but since when has Trump needed intelligence before acting?
Trump and Kamala shook hands at the 9/11 memorial. Trump stayed longer though, as Kamala and Joe left. Trump also spoke with reporters after the debate, Kamala had to get back to her booze.
The “I need more information” is driving me crazy. What else you anyone wants? He’s an obvious lunatic and out of control and anyone still needs more information? Please!
He's extremely dangerous! He loves the dictators and has threatened to pull us out of NATO. Can you imagine? I was born long after WWII, but I was adopted by wonderful parents who were older than most of my friends' parents, but wonderfully young at heart and in great shape. My dad learned to water ski when he was over 60! He was a WWII veteran, so when I hear trump talking about pulling us out of NATO, my blood pressure goes up. We must stand strong with our NATO allies.
And that DonOLD and his Project 2025 team are clearly fascists. What patriotic American would want to vote away our democracy? Robert Reich has a great short video here on TH-cam describing point by point why DJT is fascist. I’d include a link, but TH-cam is deleting comments with links, even to TH-cam. But the video is worth a quick search.
I think a number of the 'undecided' voters just like the attention. Also, based on my experiences in voting caucuses, they are sometimes just seem to be saying it so that people will ask them what their reservations are... and then they go on a spiel for or against a certain candidate, which isn't usually part of the caucus procedure. I remember one 'undecided' person who used her moment to go on about how Bernie Sanders was anti-Israel, then promptly moved over to the Tulsi Gabbard folks. A bit like 'push polling' where it seems like they're asking you questions, when really they're having you listen to information intended to sway your vote.
Google her public speaking. I’ve seen a lot from her. Just because she hasn’t gone on 60 minutes doesn’t mean she’s not out there. I don’t understand what you want her to do. There was the DNC and then the debate. If you didn’t get anything from the debate then you’re not going to make a decision. Actually watch what is publicly announced. I talk to so many people that say they don’t know her yet and they didn’t watch her DNC speech or the debate. You can also see her rallies, just google it. Watch CSPAN.
What is painfully lacking in American politics is the humility, intelligence, fairness and humor that Mr. Reich has displayed throughout his career. If our country was guided by people such as him, the news would be considerably more boring, which at this point in time would be a very good thing indeed.
I think Trump and his team do not want him to do another debate. He was a disaster. It really makes me sick when I hear these undecided voters say they don’t know enough about Kamala to vote for her yet. They know enough about Trump to NOT vote for him!
Scaramucci nailed it: Trump is going to do another debate with V.P. Harris because he simply cannot let it go that he indeed lost this one and he knows it. He will do another one. Don't be surprised if he does a 3rd one. One will be a town hall style and Kamala will be uber ready! She learned from watching and analyzing Clinton vs. Trump town hall! She can troll the troll!
@@cruisenightgirlShe had an amazing town Hall in the Summer of 2019 I believe. She has serious rhetorical skills. And grandpa Trumplethinskin is incoherent.
HE needs to stop talking to his supporters and start talking to republicans and undecided voters. Talking to people that will already vote for harris is a waste of time. To have a positive effect, you will need to change minds and as of now I see no minds being changed.
Let me guess, abolish it? It is the fetish of the left, they want the constitution gone, democratic system, and want to usher in fascist like measures.
As a formal Republican, who is now an Independent, I can tell you it’s because I gave up the Republican party after Trump was nominated in 2016. I am certainly not undecided… I am with her because she is with us.
Thx Heather and Robert! In two years our nation will be 250 years old. I'm voting for Ms. Harris because of her policies and her character. She really is the person I want to be making decisions at 2am if the poop hits the fan. And more over, 250 years later, it really makes a solid statement about the American dream. 💙
Her policies: She's copying Trump's policies as fast as she can in order to try to win. Her character: She's abandoning her stated ideology as fast as she can in order to try to win.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly people can get mobilized to act over a disgusting lie while completely ignoring the most urgent issues we face. (referring to the lie about people eating pets)
This is among my favorite half hours of every week. Two smart, sane, and kind people with great chemistry, making me slightly less anxious about the news of the day.
Elon musk is also a racist. He brought that South African racism right on over here with him. He's also misogynistic. Along with being a narcissist. Of course him and Trump get along.
It always amazes me when people like Trump and Musk claim to be “self made”. Becoming a billionaire when starting from the 1/3 point with a >$300 million inheritance like DonOLD is nowhere near self made.

So nice to hear two sane, intelligent Americans (Aussie here) talk. Let me tell you, Australians are super worried - if Trump gets back in, all bets are off regarding the future of your country. And can Americans stop saying they're the greatest democracy in the world. Have you read? Have you travelled? Because looking in from the outside, your democracy is hanging by a thread.
Yeah even as a child I would have never said America is the greatest country in the world. Never. People who say that don't know anything about anything.
Americans are purposely kept ignorant and isolated so that they remain unaware about the facts of the world. It makes them easier to manipulate and control. Just look at what Republicans have done throughout the history of their education system! Every effort has been made to feed their population false historical narratives and blatant social untruths. And, if ever an inlet of true information becomes apparent, they do everything they can to block it (attacks on library funding and banned books, anyone?). It's honestly amazing that it's taken them THIS long to fall towards fascism. Only Israel's education system is worse.
Hi, I'm Carol from USA. I have traveled .....even been to Oz, NSW. Many Americans, in my opinion, mostly due to lack of funds, lack of interest and lack of exposure to how cool it is to travel....in general, do not travel. The USA is unrecognizable to me and has been since Dump came on the scene. As in any country and people, we are capable of great and horrible views and actions. Social media has created an extreme and dummed down society here for some..... that along with an unreachable cost of living has created many people to have to work 2 to 3 jobs..to not be homeless....so many simply work and sleep and work and sleep....in general, it's an exhausted population. Many don't know what is accurate info and what is shear madness... and only have time for the quick nonsense that social media supplies. I agree that we are hanging by a thread.....my hope is eternal though ...and I think we can turn it around. May you and Oz be well.
@@carolburke4359 Thanks Carol, really good perspective & insights. But I (& most fellow Australians) still can't understand how almost 50% of the American voting cohort think Trump is fine & dandy. All those societal reasons you give make sense... but a point of difference I believe is we Australians have a greater level of BS detecting. Even my most Right Wing family members / friends here look at Trump & see the obvious con man that Trump is. Also, the sheer number of weirdo Christian evangelicals / nationalists in the US is something we don't have. Not that we're perfect by any stretch, but I am so grateful that I'm in Australia. I lived in NY for a couple of years & even then (20+ years ago) I noticed that your healthcare system is flatout a con, you've been sold total nonsense to once again, financially benefit the few. There's far too much emphasis in your culture on money, money, money to the extent it's out of control. And don't even get me started on your insane (not you personally) attitude towards guns. And again you've been sold a con, I'm looking hard at the NRA... And on the flip side, there's Obama & now Kamala, and they both represent (to me) the best of America. Fingers, paws, everything crossed that Kamal gets in. And then the work really begins to heal your nation. Not just for you, but for the world - we need a functioning USA!
Good morning Robert and Heather! As a woman, I have been feeling much more hopeful since the debate. Kamala proved to us how stupid and incapable Trump is to be president again.
As a woman, I am glad that she did well and was not undermined but I have voted for ppl of all kinds and am not voting because she is female but because she is great.
Why dont you watch the one on one interview with ABC she did, What a disaster she is UNQUALIFIED, You can run a country on feel good and her word salads.. Watch it common sense

A great discussion. Finally someone who said the quiet part out loud. Remember the glass ceiling? We need to work hard to punch through it. No one is more qualified to be president than Harris. This is our shot.
I am from Wisconsin and know quite a few people who are Republicans but cant stand Trump and are voting Harris this time. Or werent going to vote at all and now are voting for Harris.
But of course Kamala lies like a rug, and Waltz let Minneapolis burn while Kamala bailed out the burners. but you are right they offer Joy Hope Inspiration to the low information voter. Its like cheese in the trap

Agree 100%. One of the two will be President. Trump with his criminality, lying, lunacy, race baiting, lack of decency and disrespect for our laws and constitution should not be a choice. I just don’t understand how people need to know so much more about Kamala when we know all we need about Trump. If he wins, he’ll be golfing while others will be instituting project 2025.
I think they mean they need more information so they can find an excuse to justify what they’re already going to do. They’re undecided about their excuse, whether it’s to vote for Donnie or not to vote at all.
How much more people need to know about Kamala Harris. She said more than enough. She spelled out her policies, her dreams for America so on and so forth. She is not a LIAR! 🇺🇸🦋
66.4% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They are working 2-3 jobs and still don't have enough to pay rent and buy food for their children. These folks are time poor and are just starting to tune in. Be kind to those people, jeering and ridiculing folks doesn't bring them to considering all the options. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade of level. They have not progressed from concrete and abstract thinking. They don't know who Murdoch is and what he owns.
Someone pointed out that it's not that they need to know more. It is because deep down inside they can't handle a 'woman' as a president let alone a 'Black Woman'. They are using the more information on her as a scapegoat for their internal feelings.
We have and Kamala Harris has made it beyond clear. Trump is in denial and is delusional. Trump has proven he cannot be trusted constantly lying. There's a reason he has been divorced so many times and it looks like he's headed for another divorce right now
voting blue is only the simplest action you must take. understand the republicans are changing the rules and getting electors to override the popular vote. If you intend to save democracy you must be ready to fight for it, or you are just as bad as the republicans.
Before we move on, let’s all agree that Kamala won that debate and by no means did she speak out of turn. There was not one thing that she said that was a lie and she did have to confront Trump as she needed to get into his sick brain to help bring out the best of him ha ha
Yes, it’s such a self-own when Republicans complain that DonOLD got fact-checked so much more than Kamala. Clearly, if you lie or fabricate more, you’ll get fact-checked more. 🤪
I agree. It wasn't even close and she called tRump out. The contrast was obvious. A seasoned prosecutor schooling a convicted felon and traitor. I loved it🎉👍👍
The debate was great, she really swiped the floor with him, it was great entertainment, he really is his own worst enemy, he has no class compared to VP Harris💙💙💙
I remember the Clarence Thomas hearings. I also remember going to a high school reunion at the time and getting together with a former classmate who taught law with Anita Hill and told me she was honest.
I remember those hearings as well. I don't remember how old I was but I know I was a child. And I believed her then. My feelings about Clarence Thomas never changed. I didn't trust him then and I never trusted him. And it's all been born out.
@@michaelgreaves2375 He tells everyone that corporations are gouging while saying inflation is down. That is a lie. So it's a bit of a stretch to say he is Honest. He is smart enough to know he can manipulate his followers like Trump.

They dont do the research. The reason Trump was good at least at first is because of what Obama left him. An economy doesn't change the second a new president comes in office. It take sometimes a couple years.

You deserve a standing ovation for all the diagrams and pictures that you have created to help all of us lesser informed people to understand what is going on. And for that, I am always thankful.
You do realize trump is one of, if not the most powerful, man in the US. Republicans are not betting on winning the popular vote, they are going to win through cheating- having electors vote against the popular vote, changing voting laws to stop democrats from voting, armed voter intimidation, riots, and violence. You NEED to be prepared for reality- YOU MAY HAVE TO FIGHT to save our democracy. If you are not ready to give yourself for the greater good, you might as well vote republican.
I wasn't aware of the Violence Against Women Act , as I was too busy and tired like so many other women back then to keep up with business in Washington . Thanks for keeping us informed, Robert.
Professor Reich you're my favorite short person, always have been. Your voice is bigger than most and I learn something every time I listen to it. Thanks for all you do!
I'm very tall, and he was once in line ahead of me in line at a coffee cafe in Cambridge. There were a few snickers among people standing around, but not from me. Nevertheless I have always felt bad about it.

Unfortunately some of my family support Trump. I’ve tried to talk about issues a couple of times and got screamed at and then ignored for several months after. So, no, I can’t discuss politics or candidates with them Sad, because I think it’s more important now than it’s ever been. Happy to vote for Kamala and Tim in November. I don’t care what color either of them are. That’s not something I consider when evaluating their ability to lead.
I’m sorry you’ve lost parts of your family. There must be so many families divided like yours - there’s a wonderful doctor and speaker - Dr Steve Hassan - who has some great ideas for people dealing with this cult of Trump, and this is unfortunately a cult.
Thank you so much for embracing your "short" comings with such humor! Back when you were running for governor of Massachusetts, I couldn’t vote, but trust me, I was out there making plenty of noise about how much this state needed a leader with a big brain to match. I was practically a walking campaign poster! I was really hoping you’d throw your hat in the ring again-because who wouldn’t want a governor with both wit and wisdom? But even though that didn’t happen, you inspired countless people, myself included, and now we have an amazing woman leading the state. So, in a way, you still helped pave the way for great leadership... even if we had to trade in those “big shoes” for a fresh pair of heels!
Being forced under penalty of the law to carry the child of your rapist or family abuser to term is violence against women. But it doesn't stop there.

But even so, one of the first things that I learned about her is that she gives away a lot of her money to local charities in the places she plays, gives free concerts, and helps out people. Trump *gave himself* money from his own charity!! Trump and his children are no longer legally allowed to run charities, in part because they gave money to their rich friends. Let’s just say, some billionaires are better people than others, JD Vance-thank you for using your platform to possibly cause some of your more intellectually minded people to wonder why she’s so influential, and look into her.
She was nervous. It's why she laughed and reacted like she did. This lady will get us into a major war, no respect from others. I wonder what the left will say after 4 years when the economy is in really bad shape, still Trump's fault if Kamala wins?

Good point about a Kamala debate on Fox, Robert. And if Trump won’t do it, she should do a Town Hall Voter Q and A on Fox by herself. Not to necessarily sway his base, but to show that she’s welcoming to citizens of all persuasions. She is respectful of all Americans and she will be every citizen’s president.

@@alainroccamo3641 no wars? Trump negotiated with the Taliban and got 5000 Taliban fighters released from custody. Oh, but they promised, pinky swear!, not to join the fight against our troops in Afghanistan. What a deal maker!
@@alainroccamo3641 low gas prices? In 2020 no one was driving. It's called supply and demand. Context matters. Also, did you know that in 2023 we produced more domestic crude oil than at any other time in our history?
@@alainroccamo3641 another little inconvenient fact: Trump wasn't in office 2 weeks before his ego got a Navy Seal unalived with his decision to greenlight going into Yemen. Obama had already said there was not enough intelligence on the ground to do it, but since when has Trump needed intelligence before acting?
The handshake was masterful
Boss move on every level. It brought Donnie to his knees before they started. As a woman in corporate America a highly approve.
Trump and Kamala shook hands at the 9/11 memorial. Trump stayed longer though, as Kamala and Joe left. Trump also spoke with reporters after the debate, Kamala had to get back to her booze.
4ft10 but a man of huge stature - we love you Robert and your kind wisdom - live forever mate..
he is a short king
After the Anita Hill testimony, Thomas never should have been confirmed!!!!
It literally ruined the nation. A twenty year war happened because of it. (Gore actually won.)
He shouldn't have been confirmed just on the issue of basic competence, let alone his perjury and character
After the hush money paid to Paula Jones, lying under oath, should Bill Clinton have remained in office?
@Justeanie ok, I'll take the bait. Why exactly?
That is on both parties in Congress.
The “I need more information” is driving me crazy.
What else you anyone wants?
He’s an obvious lunatic and out of control and anyone still needs more information?
Please!
Exactly!!!! Mindblowing!!
He's extremely dangerous! He loves the dictators and has threatened to pull us out of NATO. Can you imagine? I was born long after WWII, but I was adopted by wonderful parents who were older than most of my friends' parents, but wonderfully young at heart and in great shape. My dad learned to water ski when he was over 60! He was a WWII veteran, so when I hear trump talking about pulling us out of NATO, my blood pressure goes up. We must stand strong with our NATO allies.
And that DonOLD and his Project 2025 team are clearly fascists. What patriotic American would want to vote away our democracy?
Robert Reich has a great short video here on TH-cam describing point by point why DJT is fascist. I’d include a link, but TH-cam is deleting comments with links, even to TH-cam. But the video is worth a quick search.
I think a number of the 'undecided' voters just like the attention.
Also, based on my experiences in voting caucuses, they are sometimes just seem to be saying it so that people will ask them what their reservations are... and then they go on a spiel for or against a certain candidate, which isn't usually part of the caucus procedure. I remember one 'undecided' person who used her moment to go on about how Bernie Sanders was anti-Israel, then promptly moved over to the Tulsi Gabbard folks.
A bit like 'push polling' where it seems like they're asking you questions, when really they're having you listen to information intended to sway your vote.
Google her public speaking. I’ve seen a lot from her. Just because she hasn’t gone on 60 minutes doesn’t mean she’s not out there. I don’t understand what you want her to do. There was the DNC and then the debate. If you didn’t get anything from the debate then you’re not going to make a decision. Actually watch what is publicly announced. I talk to so many people that say they don’t know her yet and they didn’t watch her DNC speech or the debate. You can also see her rallies, just google it. Watch CSPAN.
What is painfully lacking in American politics is the humility, intelligence, fairness and humor that Mr. Reich has displayed throughout his career. If our country was guided by people such as him, the news would be considerably more boring, which at this point in time would be a very good thing indeed.
Hear, hear.
Robert Reich is a giant🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
EXACTLY! He has more intelligence and integrity in his little finger than Muskrat could EVER hope to have in his entire body.
He NEEDS to talk to republicans and undecided voters. Pandering to democrats does nothing to get more votes.

Scaramucci nailed it: Trump is going to do another debate with V.P. Harris because he simply cannot let it go that he indeed lost this one and he knows it. He will do another one. Don't be surprised if he does a 3rd one. One will be a town hall style and Kamala will be uber ready! She learned from watching and analyzing Clinton vs. Trump town hall! She can troll the troll!

Robert Reich is very respected, educated and intuitive. Always brings the truth to the forefront. Thanks for your opinion here. Hope more will listen.
Yes, thank you both for raising a real discussion!
HE needs to stop talking to his supporters and start talking to republicans and undecided voters. Talking to people that will already vote for harris is a waste of time. To have a positive effect, you will need to change minds and as of now I see no minds being changed.
He is respected by the Democrat party, as the Democrat party specializes in propaganda.

Shame on the Supreme Court.
SCOTUS IS MY GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT.
And on Sen. Mitch McConnell for playing a big part in where the SCOTUS is today.
Let me guess, abolish it? It is the fetish of the left, they want the constitution gone, democratic system, and want to usher in fascist like measures.
Those 6 sociopaths don't know what shame is. You need a conscience to feel shame.
Shame died in 2016, probably before.
As a formal Republican, who is now an Independent, I can tell you it’s because I gave up the Republican party after Trump was nominated in 2016. I am certainly not undecided… I am with her because she is with us.
Thank you for your service.
She is anything but with us. If you were truly worried about who was with us you would vote Trump.
Thx Heather and Robert! In two years our nation will be 250 years old. I'm voting for Ms. Harris because of her policies and her character. She really is the person I want to be making decisions at 2am if the poop hits the fan. And more over, 250 years later, it really makes a solid statement about the American dream. 💙
Her policies: She's copying Trump's policies as fast as she can in order to try to win.
Her character: She's abandoning her stated ideology as fast as she can in order to try to win.
Well said.

This is among my favorite half hours of every week. Two smart, sane, and kind people with great chemistry, making me slightly less anxious about the news of the day.
Elon Musk is like Trump in that he comes from inherited wealth and looks down on others who aren’t wealthy.
Elon musk is also a racist. He brought that South African racism right on over here with him. He's also misogynistic. Along with being a narcissist. Of course him and Trump get along.
And is lacking in ethics, wit, empathy, intelligence, wisdom....
Not really. Musk built himself up.. Kamala is born from sexual favors.
It always amazes me when people like Trump and Musk claim to be “self made”. Becoming a billionaire when starting from the 1/3 point with a >$300 million inheritance like DonOLD is nowhere near self made.
I hope Mr. Musk will soon find a discrete, absorbing hobby.

So nice to hear two sane, intelligent Americans (Aussie here) talk. Let me tell you, Australians are super worried - if Trump gets back in, all bets are off regarding the future of your country. And can Americans stop saying they're the greatest democracy in the world. Have you read? Have you travelled? Because looking in from the outside, your democracy is hanging by a thread.
Yeah even as a child I would have never said America is the greatest country in the world. Never. People who say that don't know anything about anything.
Americans are purposely kept ignorant and isolated so that they remain unaware about the facts of the world.
It makes them easier to manipulate and control.
Just look at what Republicans have done throughout the history of their education system!
Every effort has been made to feed their population false historical narratives and blatant social untruths.
And, if ever an inlet of true information becomes apparent, they do everything they can to block it (attacks on library funding and banned books, anyone?).
It's honestly amazing that it's taken them THIS long to fall towards fascism.
Only Israel's education system is worse.
Scared here in Canada too! He is a menace world wide.
Hi, I'm Carol from USA. I have traveled .....even been to Oz, NSW. Many Americans, in my opinion, mostly due to lack of funds, lack of interest and lack of exposure to how cool it is to travel....in general, do not travel. The USA is unrecognizable to me and has been since Dump came on the scene. As in any country and people, we are capable of great and horrible views and actions. Social media has created an extreme and dummed down society here for some..... that along with an unreachable cost of living has created many people to have to work 2 to 3 jobs..to not be homeless....so many simply work and sleep and work and sleep....in general, it's an exhausted population. Many don't know what is accurate info and what is shear madness... and only have time for the quick nonsense that social media supplies. I agree that we are hanging by a thread.....my hope is eternal though ...and I think we can turn it around. May you and Oz be well.
@@carolburke4359 Thanks Carol, really good perspective & insights. But I (& most fellow Australians) still can't understand how almost 50% of the American voting cohort think Trump is fine & dandy. All those societal reasons you give make sense... but a point of difference I believe is we Australians have a greater level of BS detecting. Even my most Right Wing family members / friends here look at Trump & see the obvious con man that Trump is. Also, the sheer number of weirdo Christian evangelicals / nationalists in the US is something we don't have.
Not that we're perfect by any stretch, but I am so grateful that I'm in Australia. I lived in NY for a couple of years & even then (20+ years ago) I noticed that your healthcare system is flatout a con, you've been sold total nonsense to once again, financially benefit the few. There's far too much emphasis in your culture on money, money, money to the extent it's out of control. And don't even get me started on your insane (not you personally) attitude towards guns. And again you've been sold a con, I'm looking hard at the NRA...
And on the flip side, there's Obama & now Kamala, and they both represent (to me) the best of America. Fingers, paws, everything crossed that Kamal gets in. And then the work really begins to heal your nation. Not just for you, but for the world - we need a functioning USA!

Agree 100%. One of the two will be President. Trump with his criminality, lying, lunacy, race baiting, lack of decency and disrespect for our laws and constitution should not be a choice. I just don’t understand how people need to know so much more about Kamala when we know all we need about Trump. If he wins, he’ll be golfing while others will be instituting project 2025.
I think they mean they need more information so they can find an excuse to justify what they’re already going to do.
They’re undecided about their excuse, whether it’s to vote for Donnie or not to vote at all.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!
no way she thwarts the constitution every day letting aliens in, covering up for the Bidens, she is no good.
How much more people need to know about Kamala Harris. She said more than enough. She spelled out her policies, her dreams for America so on and so forth. She is not a LIAR! 🇺🇸🦋
66.4% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They are working 2-3 jobs and still don't have enough to pay rent and buy food for their children. These folks are time poor and are just starting to tune in. Be kind to those people, jeering and ridiculing folks doesn't bring them to considering all the options. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade of level. They have not progressed from concrete and abstract thinking. They don't know who Murdoch is and what he owns.
Someone pointed out that it's not that they need to know more. It is because deep down inside they can't handle a 'woman' as a president let alone a 'Black Woman'. They are using the more information on her as a scapegoat for their internal feelings.
No, thank you, Robert and Heather, for calling out the lies during the debate. Good job!

WE NEED TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO TRUMP THAT HE IS DONE!!!
Don't assume he's done without all our votes, which is probably how he "won" in 2016.
We have and Kamala Harris has made it beyond clear. Trump is in denial and is delusional. Trump has proven he cannot be trusted constantly lying. There's a reason he has been divorced so many times and it looks like he's headed for another divorce right now
Even when he is gone, the Heritage Society and the Federalist Society remain to try again in 2028. They are like the Hydra in mythology.
voting blue is only the simplest action you must take. understand the republicans are changing the rules and getting electors to override the popular vote. If you intend to save democracy you must be ready to fight for it, or you are just as bad as the republicans.
People need to vote on the local level - that's where these anti-democratic organizations have been focusing their efforts for decades.
I always so enjoy your show and Heather is beautiful!

I remember the Clarence Thomas hearings. I also remember going to a high school reunion at the time and getting together with a former classmate who taught law with Anita Hill and told me she was honest.
I remember those hearings as well. I don't remember how old I was but I know I was a child. And I believed her then. My feelings about Clarence Thomas never changed. I didn't trust him then and I never trusted him. And it's all been born out.

You do realize trump is one of, if not the most powerful, man in the US. Republicans are not betting on winning the popular vote, they are going to win through cheating- having electors vote against the popular vote, changing voting laws to stop democrats from voting, armed voter intimidation, riots, and violence. You NEED to be prepared for reality- YOU MAY HAVE TO FIGHT to save our democracy. If you are not ready to give yourself for the greater good, you might as well vote republican.

Thank you so much for embracing your "short" comings with such humor! Back when you were running for governor of Massachusetts, I couldn’t vote, but trust me, I was out there making plenty of noise about how much this state needed a leader with a big brain to match. I was practically a walking campaign poster! I was really hoping you’d throw your hat in the ring again-because who wouldn’t want a governor with both wit and wisdom? But even though that didn’t happen, you inspired countless people, myself included, and now we have an amazing woman leading the state. So, in a way, you still helped pave the way for great leadership... even if we had to trade in those “big shoes” for a fresh pair of heels!
refreshingly sane
I literally thought I was watching an SNL skit from 2016. This wasn't a debate, it was a demolition derby and Harris was driving a tank.
Being forced under penalty of the law to carry the child of your rapist or family abuser to term is violence against women. But it doesn't stop there. Unless her rapist/abuser is convicted in a court of law, he can take her to court and demand a custody agreement. So, now, she can never get him out of her life again. That's torture.
How do you feel about a man boxing women in a woman's sport?
@@intheknow7659 except a man boxing a woman hasn’t happened, and based on current sport rules it won’t happen. Why aren’t you concerned about the actual problems that women and minorities face?
@@broddr A biological man won the gold in the Women's boxing at the Olympics. Why do you belittle women like you do? And why do you use minorities for political points? You seem against both Women and Minorities to do that.
@@broddrHe's just TROLLING TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT AND MAKE UPROAR.
@@intheknow7659 I think this would be unfair and I would have boycotted that fight. I also, personally do not think I would ever have had an abortion, except in a case of incest. Those would have been my choices. And that's the point, CHOICE.
I am not a Swiftie-and while I know a few of her songs, I don’t follow her at all. But even so, one of the first things that I learned about her is that she gives away a lot of her money to local charities in the places she plays, gives free concerts, and helps out people. Trump *gave himself* money from his own charity!! Trump and his children are no longer legally allowed to run charities, in part because they gave money to their rich friends. Let’s just say, some billionaires are better people than others, JD Vance-thank you for using your platform to possibly cause some of your more intellectually minded people to wonder why she’s so influential, and look into her.
Charity Fraud is a federal crime. He was ineligible to run for president in 2016.
I look forward to this every weekend!
The hand shake said it all for Kamala
She was nervous. It's why she laughed and reacted like she did. This lady will get us into a major war, no respect from others.
I wonder what the left will say after 4 years when the economy is in really bad shape, still Trump's fault if Kamala wins?
...thank you---all; rather exquisite, comprehensive, objective, generally aware of people at large; responsible/respecftful---necessary for all of us.🙋👩❤️👨
Good point about a Kamala debate on Fox, Robert. And if Trump won’t do it, she should do a Town Hall Voter Q and A on Fox by herself. Not to necessarily sway his base, but to show that she’s welcoming to citizens of all persuasions. She is respectful of all Americans and she will be every citizen’s president.
Thank you Robert and Heather for all your great work.
Former Secretary Reich has an extraordinary tall mind.
How come nobody has convinced the Democrats they need to attach the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to some 'must pass' legislation?
Time's running short.
I think VP Harris said that along with reproductive rights would be her priority.
@@RAconsciousnessSpeak to the Republicans who refused to fund Ukraine.
@@elaineburnett5230 Putin told Donnie to prevent it, and tucker carlsson helped. Russia paid blog-casters $100,000 per broadcast to carry their propaganda.
Good call, thankfully VP Harris has said it's on her agenda.
House and senate cult members won’t. She will next year.
Exactly. Too many people are lying to the polls. Please vote and help others vote.
Yes. I don't believe the polls.
Above all I love the rapport between you guys especially with the age, gender contrast. And the information in spite of the topic having been discussed by others you two always bring something new and interesting to the table.
Thank you ❤
💙💙💙
I'm so happy I found you, you are the best teacher I'm 65 and still learning, thank you
Robert: your heart & your intellect & understanding are so large, they compress you! 🤗🥰💙
