- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2024
- Trump tightens his grip on the GOP ahead of this weekend’s CPAC speech, Texas Democrats analyze why they came up short in November, and new Data for Progress/Vote Save America polling shows overwhelming bipartisan support for voting and democracy reforms. Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer discuss Donald Trump's appearance and CPAC and whether or not Joe Biden should spend more time talking about the former president. Then, they discuss the future of our democracy in regards to the Latino vote and HR1/the For The People Act.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us-one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America-a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

On the topic of the latino voters, because we are put under a single umbrella term, a lot of the analysis misses the point of rupture in between latino communities, which is that latinos aren't a single people. As you very well said, Jon: "latinos are not a monolithic community". Latinos are made up of mexicans, cubans, guatemalans, brazilians, etc all of those are separate communities within the latino voters. So, the cuban communities may vote a different way than the mexicans, so on and so forth. I think this is something you need to identify when dissecting data, instead of simply affirming, like many media outlets, in headline that "Latinos Turned Out More For Trump".
Same goes for south east Asia people but the lazy reporters do not want to make efforts.Ignorance ....
Absolutely! Every group in America is like that.
Well said. It is very aggravating to be lumped into the Latino group that "turned out for Trump." I realize the stereotype is that we are ignorant, but not all of us are fools and we can see and understand that this man does not stand for ANY American. He is sowing division for HIS OWN GAINS and not for anyone else INCLUDING his white supremacist followers. Of which he would not have anything to do with because they are not in "HIS social standing." He uses everyone to his own ends. And when he is done using them, he throws them to the wolves.
they did that. in the same breath that they presented that data point, they clarified that there are latino republicans and latino democrats and that more of the republican latinos turned out to vote than democratic latino voters, inside those two different demographics. the summary of the data point is "more republican latinos turned out for the incumbent than democratic latinos for biden" not "more latinos are republicans". you are correct in that they did not describe the political breakdown of individual nationalities or ethnicities inside of the umbrella demographic that, lazily, is used in the US most often, "latino", but that is not the same thing as lumping the majority of latino voters into "republican". I am sure many have done that, but that is not what was said here.
@@ranball2943 yes, i mean, i even quoted a specific phrase from Jon in my original comment, it was not a criticism at Crooked Media but at the more mainstream media news outlets which keep making these mistakes.
For The People has got to Pass. Absolutely has to.
Voting is also about Covid! If Biden can fix Covid, mail in voting will not be so necessary!
If you really want to piss Trump off is to ignore him. Thus, calling him the former guy and not publicize him is the way to go.
If only ALL media would take the hint !! Ignoring him would help l drive him insane
Or treat him like an equal or a subordinate. Donald HATES this to his core. I would imagine he systematically went after every Obama policy because a black guy dared to (a) become President, (b) become more popular than Donald, and (c) made fun of him at that dinner.
@@MMuraseofSandvich We could all refer to Trump from here on out as the "former guy" and describe his new statue as a Bart Simpson look-alike> That will certainly drive up his blood pressure. If we can't beat him, we can at least piss him off..
@@yolandadenny8692 yep
"TFG" is only thing
The really scary thing is not Trump running. The scary thing is that apparently half the country is dumber than last place at the science fair.
They're qualified to enter science fair exhibition ? how ?
Right. Demographics say that young people, people on welfare and the working poor make up the majority of Democratic voters and their money comes from billionaires (real trustworthy people) and, in your shitty brain, these people are smarter than older people and the middle to upper middle class and whose money comes from millionaires?
You people are dumb and being led by the sinister and evil.
Why don’t you circle back to us on that one and prove your not a hypocrite. Your party says on thing and does the other 😂
If it makes you feel slightly better just remember that it’s not half the country. It’s slightly less than half of those who care to vote.
That’s what I tell myself; it makes it easier to swallow. 🇺🇸
@@jarretheller2244 You know what might make you feel worse - the fact that Democrats are constantly trying to give murderers and rapists the vote because anyone that evil obviously votes for Democrats. Also people on welfare; also, organizations that try to round up the homeless to vote. Basically, everyone that is completely dependent and parasitical and harmful and selfish.
CPAC - where terrible ideas go to hang out and network.
Repugnacon
What a stupid comment. So stupid, in fact, that the manlet who made the video himself liked it. You know you are inane and servile when you get zer's approval.
Ugh, not Trump again! please God can’t you just take him away? things were so peaceful. This is just making me anxious and depressed.
If the press dont cover it , he can talk to himself , the news can cover other things ,, anything else
I agree.
I think Russia's point was to create a third fascist party in America and they succeeded brilliantly.
❤
Right! The DNC is full of lil Nazis
I understand that occasionally you might have to mention Trump but can you at least stop showing his picture? Haven't we all suffered enough?
😂 yeah I agree
Just hold up a picture a moldy orange. 🍊
We'll know who it is. 😕
@@rneumeye 😂😂😂😂 Indeed we will
Call him the "former guy" That will be enough. His name is a bad word---just like Manson, Koresh, Jim Jones, or Hitler. He will go down in history as one of the names that will never be respected again.
I think we have been put through the proverbial ringer more than once....we have Post DJT stress.
Furthermore, even within the sub-groups in the "Latino community" there is diversity. Not all Cuban-Americans are conservative; not all Puerto Ricans are liberal, etc.
Hello, have either of you guys looked at his diet? Or more to the point dementia runs in the Tangerine Terdbucket's family and a not so casual look at his speech pattern, his gait, his obvious lack of emotional stability points to rapidly drift into senile dementia.
That's not a good thing. His fans will follow an arterially clogged, emotionally unstable Alzheimer's patient if his name is Trump. He won't even remember the damage he did the day before, but his base will still be doing his bidding!
I think DT is definitely senile and vile, a dangerous combination.
Trump is going to grift millions from these fools..
Should the President ever speak of the orange headed beast I hope he says “you mean the guy I beat by over 7 million votes?”
I also like “one term, twice impeached”
Fraud*
Not for nothing, but y’all down in Texas are going to elect Beto governor next year, right? Right??
From your lips to god’s ears.
@@janethompson2396 🤞Thanks Jane. Are you from Texas, by any chance? (Wherever you’re from, I hope you’re doing OK.) It seems like Texans are well aware that Beto immediately rolled up his sleeves to help, while elected Republicans went on vacation and blamed the situation on progressive policy ideas that aren’t even laws yet. I think I’ve seen/read at least one regular news piece (i.e. not an op-ed) highlighting the contrast.
@@janethompson2396 yes ma’am. I will remain hopeful that Beto get out there again.
Either next governor or next Senator would work equally well.
@@elcarto22 Only thing is, Flyin’ Ted isn’t up until 2024, and Cornyn isn’t up until 2026. It’s probably for the best, as Beto can directly help Texans as governor, in a way that he couldn’t as one of 100 senators whose ranks also include Moscow Mitch.
By 2024, I hold out hope that investigations of NY & GA states will wind up in criminal prosecution, Deutsche Bank will call in Trump's loans (I hope the bank sticks to no more loans or financial dealings with Trump), and the culmination of tax fraud and other civil & criminal lawsuits force Trump out of enough money and influence to cut him out of a 2024 run. Let us pray🙏, and also stay pro-active.
Praying!
You'll have to stop donations from his base. He raised quite a bit of money on his way out of office just by trying to "stop the steal." What the money is truly for he'll never tell.
@@deltamouse09 From what I understand, Trump is doing the same thing with his base's donations as from his charity organization- using the money as a personal piggy-bank to shore up his underwater businesses and pay off his lawyers, etc. I don't know if he's paying off personal debts or loans, as he has a history of not paying such things.
Dodo donny is going to whine about how the election was stolen. He is a one hit wonder who only has one song to sing.
He sang a lot of songs, but you were too busy trying to be a good little boy according to CNN to listen. What is it like having no personality?
@@blane404 - this isnt CNN. What's it like to be an idiot?
Why didn't the Republicans who want to run in 2024, and those who would support them, find a way to convict/disqualify him when they had the chance?
They are terrified of being primaried from the right
Fear of the base, plain and simple.
I think that “He who should not be named”, needs to save all of his stolen money for his legal woes,with legal representation, you get what you pay for, a lesson he may have actually learned. And I’m sure anyone that represents him, will require a huge retainer.
I'd say they need to demand CASH up front.
Biden keeping his campaign promises would be a great message for 2022. Building trust is a start. Passing the American Voter Right's Bill would be helpful. Keep up the pressure.
I agree. Hillary lost to Trump in some part by making it personal and going negative and the Republicans excel at fighting in the gutter. Hillary's own negatives were confirmed. Biden won in some part by staying on message, rarely mentioning the opponent and staying positive. By doing so his negatives were minimized and his positives were confirmed.
@@pakde8002 Taking Voters for granted doesn't help either. As much as possible, every state matters. Voters stayed home with Hillary because her winning was treated as a sure thing.
Biden can't keep his promises because he's senile. A shell.
@@nickboudreaux3733 so you want him to repeat person man woman camera tv? Will that help? No politicians keep promises, because the promises are never possible in a split country.
Its true. Democrats don't have a chance in future elections as long as elections are conducted on the same day and with voter IDs. These elections need to be as confusing and opaque as possible to drag braindead puppets across the finish line.
GQP is finished after this stunt!
I'm calling cpac wackpack forever more.
Look at Liz twirl her thumbs when she speaks. She is trying to hold back from really letting them know what she feels about DJT. She could probably drop a full diss track on DJT if you put her in a sound booth.
Well, we have to be warned he’s still around don’t we?
I truly hate him and work on not hating anyone- for myself- but he is evil in my mind and we have to fight his influence
And be vigilant- don’t we??
✌🏼
In other words, you pretend to not be hateful, but are actually full of hatred because you have no real convictions or beliefs, you just want to be treated with the respect of someone who does. Gotcha.
Brainwashed sheep
Lady liberty is your name but you support a communist Chinese operative demon such as Biden? 🤣🤣
I love you guys and I've been watching you for awhile now but I don't agree that we have to keep talking about Donald Trump. I'm so sick of the whole subject. The more we talk about him, the more power he has over us. I won't be watching this video. If there's one thing I know it's that you can't get what you want by pushing against what you don't want. You have to aim higher. You have to think about what you genuinely want our country to be about. What I genuinely want is to move on and to discuss how we can accomplish the progressive agenda. Again, I love you all - but I can't watch.
@Cindy Shalinskis
I agree with you. The biggest thing that keeps this kind of badness afloat (a lot of things float🙄) is to keep giving a lot of press coverage like this is still "a thing" to get all het-up about. I have thought the same thing in the past about the avalanche of press coverage on"school shooters". Not saying that hasn't been an awful series of events, but the whole "if it bleeds, it leads" focus of the press encourages more desperately attention-seeking and sadly deranged souls.
I think squashing a lot of press coverage of Trump will make him seem much less significant. Time to move on,🌅 as Biden clearly stated.
I appreciate your sentiment but this mindset is exactly what happened in 2016. Unfortunately, his constituency hasn't gone away so keeping a bead on CPAC is a necessary evil. We have so much more to be hopeful, I see conversations like this as a cautious side-eye, not a blinding assault.
@@timj3788 Exactly. The sane people need to start preparing now to defend against the onslaught of craziness, beginning with the 2022 campaigns.
@@twillyspree3759 p
@@timj3788 I appreciate your response, and agree with your point that it's a"necessary evil" to keep a bead on Trump.
He does encourage the worst out of people who have probably been feeling very powerless and disenfranchised. I think he gains influence much in the way Charles Manson did- alienating susceptible people and redefining right & wrong.
But I still think less press coverage to the general masses. I still see way more media coverage of Trump's manic-panic antics than Biden-Harris administration's (hopefully) sensible plans for our country. Keep on postin'!
I try hard to ignore CPAC and yet so many of the progressive sites I follow are filled with this nonsense?
The “frozen” GOP primary candidates should be hoping that Trump is in jail by 2024 (or more likely by the end of 2022), and helping that to happen behind the scenes, if they hope to have a future in presidential politics.
Honestly all this prophesizing about potential serious legal consequences is starting to feel like the blue version of “Lock Her Up”. Just kind of a rallying tool used to keep people engaged but ultimately being fruitless. Idk, I’ll change my tune when something actually happens to this guy but I’m not holding my breath.
@@MyOctopusGarden On the one hand, it is more grounded in reality than “Lock Her Up” since he is a corrupt Dickbag who broke the law in several different ways. On the other, the system will never hand him meaningful consequences so it is a fruitless endeavour.
I think Ted Cruz is toast - but who knows.
Talking about trump just gives him more oxygen.
Yes the same with Marjorie Taylor Greene. They should just not give them any air at all!
Grifters gotta grift though... what else are they going to talk about? Ruling by Executive Order? 😆
@@Bubba-zu6yr your bar for grift must be very low if a few people talking is a grift. Is every youtube channel a grift? Would ruling by executive order even be a conversation if Mitch McConnell stifled any meaningful legislation over the last decade? Do you think trump was selfless in giving up his 400k salary even though he made 1.6 billion dollars while in office(that he admits to) , was trumps email spam to take donations for his election fight that went straight into a slush fund a grift? How about the funding to the conspirators of the Jan 6th attack?
How can you honestly say that these people are "grifters" when you likely sleep with a Tucker Carlson body pillow? Morons gonna moron.
Yes Judi! I refuse to breathe air into that orange monster🙌🏿
No, Biden should continue to ignore trump. Treat trump like Candyman. If you do not utter his name he will not appear.
it’s kinda like the media lol, biden didn’t just bomb syria if we don’t talk about it😉
How the Dems can beat the R party- *keep your promises*. $2000 relief, not $1400. Lower Medicare age to 60 & offer public option to others. $15 minimum wage. Then outdo your promises- forgive student debt, lower Medicare age to 50, give tax forgiveness on relief checks & unemployment insurance benefits, raise taxes on the rich, start a serious green public works program.
Win big or go home broke. I like it.
I'm asking Republicans I know to change their registration to Independent. I'm not asking them to become Democrats.
Why do you have to be called anything? In the rest if the western world belonging to a political party is a personal choice. Few people in Australia ‘belong’ to a party. We have the conservatives, (Liberal/Country party coalition), Labor, Greens, and a few smaller parties that vie for the Senate. The Parliament, your version of Congress, has the main ones and Independants who represent the people based on their personal integrity.
I’m a proud Democrat. I’m proud of the party we carry. Die mad about it ✌🏾
For years i remained registered Republican from laxity, but I’ve always voted policy and person over party. my big beef was the lack of difference once both parties just capitulated on any sense of financial discipline, which is my own litmus test for conservatism in view of my being left of center on social justice
Problem for ever: 2 Party system.
Hope for more craziness in GOP and a split. But then there will be a group of senators from both parties, up to 8, building a center group with big power.
Best will be if Trump tries a Patriots Party but he/they won’t bec there is much work in it. Much more than kidnapping the GOP like the orange fascist did.
The smug arrogance of Kevin McCarthy is sickening.
I worked one of Hilarie’s last campaign speeches in Phoenix. She yelled at everyone. I’m pretty sure she would have won if she had learned public speaking. I have never seen anyone do worse with as much time doing it. That’s a whole career watching public speakers btw.
She also should have
1. Asked Biden to be her VP, and
2. Run an ad with her FULL “basket of deplorable” statement, including that half of Trump-leaning voters are not “deplorable” but simply frustrated and feeling unheard.
@@kaarenbock4803 Campaigned in Wisconsin and Michigan; turned around and told Trump to back off when he was stalking her on stage at the Town Hall.

@@susanklein7448 - Yup.
@@sophieoshaughnessy9469 - Trump’s whole thing is being Alpha Male, grunt. That wasn’t what Hilary was selling.

😂🤣😃😄😋😊😉"Orange is the new Orange!"
We hope so, I pray that he get a just reward with all the trimmings
The only thing that can make it harder to beat Biden is for Biden to make all the right moves and help a lot of people. Biden won’t even help Biden beat Trump. Nor does he care how his party looks.
"The Former Guy". That clip from the Town Hall still has me laughing, its just soooo perfect. Nothing will enrage the Former Guy more than being (rightfully) dismissed as such without mention of name.
Biden is doing it exactly right. Ignore "the Former Guy" whenever possible, and when necessary just dismiss him as "the Former Guy" and move on.
Trump didn’t want job first time. Why does he want it a second time unless he can do more damage.
He wants the cult of worshippers.

Well, I'm glad they said it out loud. It's funny how the partisans on both sides don't want to talk about much else.
It’s easier to talk about than the kids in cages situation.
@@ExhaustedWombat Right?
Biden needs to make a prime time address of the For the People bill. Having to search TH-cam for any specifics is not an effective strategy to build support. Hoping his push for it happens right after American Rescue an is done...which may not be in time.
He's too busy hiding he's scared shittless
I’m so glad I have you guys to put politics into perspective and discuss the future from a strategic and actionable point of view. We need to get Joe Biden to listen to Pod Save America!
His kids and grandkids do, so that’s pretty darn close
That break from Trump was bliss... Far too short though, far too short!🙁
I am an Epidemiologist and I say yes it was the right choice not to go door to door
Yet unmasked "peaceful protestors" poured into the streets over the summer. Why not just go door to door? I mean you didn't have to, basement Biden just hung out in his basement and still won the election, so I guess it doesn't matter that much after all.
The Republicans will certainly filibuster HR1. Could the House pass several smaller very popular bills with pieces of the For the People Act and force Republicans to keep filibustering then use this as ammo to get rid of the filibuster?
how does an ex president be a nomanee if hes in prison
Watch real media
well at least we finally got his taxes,so yeah helle probably be in prison,lol
He's not there yet.
Can we collectively just agree to pay a little less attention to Trump and the CPAC event? I get that it is news but I still wish and hope the media doesn't over do it in their coverage of this event and all things Trump in the future.
I think everyone needs to flip their logic. Instead of asking "can we call this news worthy so that we can talk about him?" They need to ask "can we get away with not talking about him?" Don't look for excuses to talk about him. Try to find ways around giving him the attention he needs. I almost didn't click this video and I never miss anything crooked media. I don't think I can stomach anyone talking about him anymore
Then do it dummy.
Unfortunately media companies do not exist for altruistic purposes. They exist to make money. What brings in money? Ads to viewers. What brings in viewers? Trump.
"Know thy enemy. I can't tell you how many political shows and news I listen to on both sides. It pays to know what's coming next. Whether you're more left or right-leaning, this is a good idea. Take in as much from both sides as possible.
Is there any Republican policy that helps the commonwealth?
As far as I can make it out the republican party didn't advance any policies except a big tax cut for the rich and rolling back a lot of liberal policies from Obama's administration and blocking any new liberal bills from being voted on.
Another great pod cast. Thank you.
Guys! I live in Southeastern PA & worked with many Puerto Rican’s. Many of them attend “Christian” churches. They are preached to from the pulpit (to vote Republican).
Also, many guys of all colors, like DJT as the “alpha” male. Hard to believe for me, but men without a good male role model see him as one😒
Thanks to you, I’ve contacted both our senators encouraging them to pass HR1.
Amazing! Thanks for doing your part to keep the pressure up! Encourage your friends and family to do the same! :)
I suggest one of your episodes should simply be showing us all the things that are hung up or displayed in the backgrounds. I am always finding myself caught up trying to read the titles of the books on your shelves or what you've framed on the walls.
Absolutely! I have the same problem
All the free coverage is why he was elected..
Endemic voter apathy (and the millions and millions who didn't even register to vote at all) was why he got to the WH.
SO MUCH free coverage in 2016. Even more on 2020.
That's great that the House is voting on HR1 next week.
Since you are talking demographics and understanding communities, it would be important to understand the difference between republican politicians and republican voters.
I would love to learn about that.
I agree because "the other guy" was never a Republican. He was mostly democrat and for a shorter time an independent. Deciding to run as a Republican was an opportunistic decision. It also played to his biased thinking. Learning what Republicans, especially progressives, believe would be interesting. They never get to speak because of the other guys gangsters.
Too old, too old, too old for 2024.
Both Biden and Trump will be too old in 2024. This was a serious miscalculation by Biden. Nobody is going to get excited for Harris to take over if Joe declines to run again.
I agree with you 100%. His ship will have sailed. If Trump wins then it proves he is in fact the prince of darkness and not a mortal.
How is trump speaking at the CPAC not a national security threat? Biden and democrats need to do more to prevent trumpism and this extremist party.
People having and speaking ideas you do not like are not a national security threat. Get over yourself.

The right wing circus is getting even crazier
Obviously, just look at the CPAC speaker roster. Trump's not the craziest one invited to speak. They just had to disinvite one speaker because of radical racist/Fascist views.
A question to everyone. The American political system is clearly undemocratic and oligarchic in nature, what kind of political/election system do you think would be good for the health of American Democracy?
It's not going to happen but I'd like term limits including a one term 6 year presidency, automatic voter registration and an end to the electoral college and gerrymandering.
I think if we don’t get money out of politics, none of the rest will matter. As long as money dictates politics, we will continue to have an oligarchy. Just my thoughts.
Have the electoral votes be counted as, and limited to, one to each house district.
Change to ranked choice voting nationwide (undercuts “Being primaried”).

Love the discussion on the Latino vote so important.
HR1 is so important that you mention it at 38m in, after talking about Trump and CPAC. And, who came up with "For the People" Act as a name? is that remotely helpful.
Yeah I'm with you on the "For the People" Act as a name, like even as someone that follows politics very closely even I would have a hard to deciphering what that hell the bill is about. Like can't it be more explicit? Maybe there's something I'm missing here with the naming rationale.

Please, please let those recently released tax returns have enough information to lock him up forever. My sanity and I would be most grateful!!
Anything heard about the Trump library?
Yeah, it’s going to be stocked with picture books written by his fans. Most of them will have that picture of him decked out like Rambo on the cover. They will be very colorful and written in that charming Dr. Seuss rhyming style.
The library is going to be built in Palm Beach. It will have a bunch of tweets flashing on the walls, some used porno magazines and empty KFC buckets on the tables, his speeches blaring continuously through the speakers, the smell of stale hamburgers in the air, and a giant gold golf cart with a statue of trump inside aiming towards heaven. Nothing to read with more than 280 characters.
Clown-Pac.😂
I agree!
Noticed how McCarthy ignored Cheney?.
Jon you’re right every voter is a potential vote for your candidate.
Please please please let's pass voter protections, it's the only way to guarantee that we have the numbers to win for the next century. America is a left leaning place, but our politicians dont reflect that yet.
HR1 ( for the people act ) should be passed to save our democracy.
I know it's not pc to say so but the Spanish speaking voter base already in the US is not universally supportive of every person coming from Central America or even those who are already in the US but do not have citizenship. There is a lot of academic work that reveals that immigrant communities tend to be conservative so as to 'fit in' with their 'born in the USA' neighbours. In Texas, fitting in means voting Republican.
The Republican Latinos are also more secure and see conservatism will reinforce their early developing priviledge.
Power To The People!
Great program!! Legislation, legislation, legislation! Vote for equality..and voting security, bippartison..a monolithic goal for Latinos in Texas, and every State and group. Biden find a good Republican legislation.
Great show👍

Are the For the People bill and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act the same thing?
I *think* they both refer to HR1, yes.
John Lewis Voting Rights Act is HR 4, while the For the People Act is HR 1. So two different pieces of legislation. Here’s a description from the Brennan Center for Justice;
The For the People Act (H.R. 1 in the House and S. 1 in the Senate) deals with a lot of nuts-and-bolts election administration issues, while the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act deals with the particular pathology of racial discrimination in voting.
‘Former guy’, great name.
Trump's hoping to get the Presidency again because he can live in the bunker and not go to jail!
I think he likes the campaign money and campaigning, but he has no desire to be President. Never did.
Seriously though, I do think that the suffering is so real, and so much has already been revealed (with more to find) about what's been neglected... Ex school infrastructure/ventilation systems so bad kids shouldn't have been there PRE covid...
We HAVE TO DELIVER. On everything .... When he vowed bipartisanship (which he'll still keep trying but I think more with the local and state leadership, and the people not so much Congress,) he didn't yet know what had been torn apart, left f*cked up etc... He didn't know he full mess. He's still finding out. So if we have to end the filibuster or change it and recharge it before/once the most important stuff is done FINE DO IT. FIX STUFF. FIX ALL THE VOTING STUFF, ALL THE MAJOR STUFF....
WE HAVE TO HR1
And let's get Garland and others in asap. And if the complaint is
'Cost too much', we say 'gave millions to rich people and dictators'. If it's
'Partisan power play' we say 'had to remedy the PEOPLE'S legislation rotting in Mitch's graveyard'
If we do well by the people, then the already 2/3-3/4 messed up part of the gop Congress can hate us all they want. We'll be helping the same ones. Just have to make sure we're safe.... Literally a swat team on our side ready to appear whenever they act up.
Total revamp of capitol security, make DC a state.
Here's a worthwhile question. If in a criminal trial, you need every juror to convict, or otherwise it's a hung jury, how in the world do you think Donald Trump will ever be convicted? I don't think it's possible to get a 10-person jury and not have a Trump lover on it. Doesn't matter where you hold that trial.
NYC is not a trump-friendly area, and he's run out of excuses and competent lawyers. That one trump lover in a NY based trial is going to have a pretty miserable time on that jury if hes gonna obstruct, and theyll keep trying him till they come to a conviction. Karma will catch up to him.
My understanding of Trump’s past legal history as a defendant is that he always tries to settle. So with upcoming trials, I guess he might be predisposed to take a plea rather than go to trial by jury... ???
@@agny369 any defense attorney worth his salt is going to get one pro Trump juror. Even in NYC, You're still probably looking at 20% Trump supporters. Like it or not
@@tmackie1694 and that's the difference between a civil and a criminal trial. You don't need everyone on the same page in a civil suit. You do for criminal suit. All it takes is one juror to say no.
@@agny369 With the exception of Staten Island, where only 42% of the vote went for President-elect Joe Biden, the other counties that comprise the rest of New York City voted for him by huge margins: 86% in Manhattan, 82% in the Bronx, 76% in Brooklyn, and 72% in Queens.
There is historic LGBTQ legislation that just passed the house and you lead with Trump and CPAC? Can only Jon Lovett talk about gay stuff and how to pressure the Senate to get this passed? There are people doing amazing work who can lead us to action and they get no coverage. This legislation actually affects my life. Maybe next week you can reiterate all the homophobic stuff that comes out of CPAC and make me even more despondent.
Passing the House is good but I would think they'll focus on the Senate for most policy updates since it is the deciding factor unfortunately.
I'm glad that Jon acknowledged that Latinos are not a monolith. Getting their vote won't happen with a one-size fits all solution. Many factors have to be considered, including the state that they live in. Texans consider themselves Texans first, Latinos and Americans 2nd or 3rd. But the Latino issue is the Democratic Party issue writ large: how to include people who are reachable but who are socially conservative, who would benefit from Democratic policies but without alienating anyone.
Give citizenship to all DACA kids. That's how Reagan secured those Latino votes, by amnesty. It's not cultural it's loyalty to Reagan for giving them citizenship and the ability to chain immigration all their family members.
I have a friend who came from El Salvador. My father knows some Bosnian immigrants. They all say they had to go through a very rigorous and difficult process to become citizens, and why should other people get a free pass? If you want something, you should be willing to work for it.
Can anyone help me understand why Texas is so expensive to campaign in?
Bullet proof vests
I'm no expert, but I guess the size of the state and how spread out persuadable voters are within the state are probably important factors.
Big with a spread out population.
How will he run and deal with his court cases and prepare for prison.
Does Lovett ever call Ronan "Rosemary's Baby"
God forbid any of the afforementioned people are voted for.....we would be back in trump style governance.They may even do worst
CPAC: CAN PEOPLE ACCEPT CROOKS.😢 I am sorry I cannot tell a lie, I did not cut down that cherry 🍒 tree and I cannot accept crooks!🤭
Ignoring Trump is the best course...engaging is exactly what Trump wants...it's his lifeblood.
Don't give Trump a platform.
There was also plenty of voter suppression, including tons of it in Texas.
Why is it called voter suppression? Why are things like voter Id's bad? We need an Id to do everything else of importance in the world. We have to have a driver's license. We get carded at restaurants when we drink. We have to show those same Ids when we buy alcohol at stores. We need Ids for guns. I'd think casting a ballot would be just as important. Perhaps I'm wrong, but hit me.
Ask for Republicans to draft bipartison legislation, too!
Trump could endorse a can of beans as a candidate in 2022, I suppose. He's done something like that before.
Nobody has heard of the name of the "For The People" act Haven't we called it the John Lewis Voting Rights Act?
Those are actually two different bills. It's a bit confusing but very important that both of them pass: indivisible.org/resource/democracy-reform-john-lewis-voting-rights-act
@@podsaveamerica thx
With a bit of luck Donnie Do-do will be languishing in jail in 2024.
Hopefully people will be on guard against trump and the likes of him...The cancun cruzs, ( mr .bunker hill and valley forge ),the josh hawleys etc
My wife, who is quite liberal, decided to listen to an episode of this show with me. She thinks it sounds like a bunch of arrogant idiots standing around having a circle j??k and wondering if I can't find a better political left show to get my information.
My best hope is trump fading away to jail
Beto should have won
