May you rest in Peace during this troubled time of the country. I'm sad that he has passed. But like my father and others who fought for world freedom during WWII, they will not have to see this great nation fall. Trump had best stay home for his funeral. He is not fit to even shine his shoes.
RIP. A wonderful human being. I was so glad he met his goal of being here to vote, and glad he doesn’t have to watch the upcoming bastardization of the office by Drumpf.
I would like to see him visible, and influencing, in some fashion. trump still afraid of all those fancy words, correct spelling. That should be put to use.
She did talk to people. She did take them seriously. She broke records. She wasn’t the problem. The problem is brainwashing and suppression coming from the other side.
@@nereidahague she spoke on these issues multiple times and was quite direct as to what her plans were. I'm unsure as to where the disconnect was with many Americans. maybe they were watching news sources that weren't conducive to getting her message out.
I bet Hakeem Jeffries is frustrated beyond belief. He has been out there, fighting for us, and trying to hold the line against the crazy house republicans. I haven’t seen his name mentioned once. Jeffries has proven himself as a leader and he deserves some recognition. He can give a rousing speech. And he can talk to regular people. Give the man his due.
Condolences to all Americans following the passing of former President Carter 🇺🇸. He was a member of The Elders, a group of former world leaders founded by Nelson Mandela in 2007 to promote peace and human rights. Fellow Nobel peace laureates, the late South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu (who died in 2021), former Liberian president Ellen Sirleaf Johnson and the late U.N. secretary general Kofi Annan also belonged to the group. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
When America stops prioritizing education, other countries are bound to excel ahead of us. Public education and trade schools should be FREE. An educated and skilled working class is a prosperous one! The U.S. is falling behind and something has to be done.
Yes...but educated people are harder to manipulate and control. There was a saying back in the 70's, "An educated Republican is a Democrat". The GOP has always been anti-education, as their base is mostly made up of our least educated demographic.
We need to revamp our teaching materials & methods. We still have children who reach the high school level & can't read. We need to find ways to maximize our teaching strategies & get all schools on board equally. Same curriculum for each grade throughout America. This will make it easier to see the ones falling through the cracks. I've seen better, easier ways to teach math & yet we insist on old methods. Getting math skills up is critical for future tech geniuses. We really need an entire overhaul. Maybe find out what is working in other countries with overachieving kids.
Trumps always employed immigrants at his resorts because it’s the only way he can get staff to work for him. We’ve been telling Trump supporters this for years and they refused to believe it. 🤣🤣🤣
Apparently the 'good immigrants' are the ones who make the extremely wealthy even richer but the ones that just make millionaires wealthier aren't needed.
I don't believe he "picks good immigrants," he picks them because it is very cheap wages he pays, and the undocumented he chooses he pays even less! I am sure it is with threats also. He has no compassion, morals and absolutely no love for immigrants, let alone the American people. He is proving that daily by his actions and lies to his maga followers. They are starting to see what we have always known.
If ever there was a Christian in word and deed it was Jimmy Carter. A man of integrity, honor, compassion and service; exactly what a President should be. God speed you on your journey home, Mr. President.
Yes but it just proved that misogyny, bigotry (anti-gay) and racism are alive and well in the USA and will remain so for years to come. On the more positive side, an even bigger opportunity is taking form. One where tRump becomes a really lame duck by 2026 and loses in a huge landslide in 2028, when proper reform can begin to repair all of the damage that has been dome. Talking personalities, I see Kamala as Governor of California and Newsome as President. For this to occur, the Dems will need to really get down from that high road and fight, fight, fight on ALL fronts. In the end, history will also be kind to Joe and Kamala, I regret having to say, much kinder that you have been here.
Kamala Harris was in a very difficult position. I voted for her and believe she would have been an amazing president. I also respect and thank Pres Biden for his service to the country. We need more kind and thoughtful right now.
I'm a mid-generation Boomer and a lifelong Democrat. I was appalled when Pelosi didn't support AOC's bid to become our leader in Oversight. We Boomers need to get the hell out of the way of the younger generations. Democratic leaders also need to sit down with the voters and finding out what we want and stop telling us what we want. I think AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Pete Buttigieg should lead the party.
I agree. If term limits aren't set, then the older government leaders need to know when to step aside. It's going to be the younger set, those under 50, or even 40, who save this country. Even the ones in high school and college right now, who still care about the environment, all the progress we've made, and all that's still to be done. They should not have to fight for what was already won by their parents and grandparents. They should be able to maintain, look ahead, and make things even better.
Carter is the perfect example of how history is going to look at Biden. Carter was not considered a great president at the time, but when we looked back, he was president during a really hard time. But he walked away with quite a few wins, but the country didn't feel like it was succeeding.
Not really… tech was incredibly busy during COVID as things transitioned online. From IT departments standing up new infrastructure, to new apps for healthcare, meetings, education, etc. Even social media giants were busy as entities used platforms to connect with stakeholders. Tech was very essential and at my place of employment, they were in the office when everyone else was sent home. But I am NOT standing up for tech, I think it’s more important that Americans get into the tech field (especially now) and fear that they are going to make that more difficult through eliminating education programs and making higher education less accessible.
I get your point about tech workers, but I grew up without the internet and cell phones, but we all need food and water just to survive. Not everyone can grow their own food and depend on agriculture.
Not essential, but they could work from home developing the tech that allowed more to the same. My husband was considered ''essential '' at his factory. We joked about him working from home, because his entire crew was convinced it was a hoax, despite a couple getting it. Unfortunately, they wouldn't allow him to take the industrial oven ho.e to his job XDD
I appreciated the authenticity of your shock and utter despair as you called the election news. Your stunned silence validated my own silent scream as the outcome became apparent. I'm still silently screaming.

Apparently 50% of adult Americans have the reading age of a 12 year old and never read anything, ever. If you get your view of the world from Fox/Newsmax etc and lack any critical thinking skills you get an incompetent crook as Head of State. You think the Republicans have any interest in improving education standards?
I have the tendency to say the same thing every time. I appreciate him and the other people like him so much. What they do is so vital to our country right now. And whether they wanted to carry this burden or not, it is upon their shoulders, and brian is carrying it with grace and dignity.

I love AOC but also a huge fan of Katie Porter on calling people out and knowing what she is talking about. So many of these politician do not know what they are talking about on subjects.
All citizens will have to insist on upholding the Constitution. Our representatives have failed in the past - we will have to all let them know that our Constitutional rights and freedoms are fundamental and must be upheld. The Supreme Court is also obligated to uphold the Constitution. As citizens we have the power to speak to and protest the Supreme Court as well. We can tell our representatives that Trump is not qualified, as he orchestrated an insurrection. We can let them know that many others still in power aided the insurrection, and they also should not be in power. We can let them know that a campaign for presidency dominated by lies from Trump and his campaign, with blatant manipulation of the press, and likely significant international interference is not a free and fair election. We can protest.
I believe david hogg would be better suited he survived a school mass shooting and knows real life situations unlike AOC I love AOC but she gets protected from the top all the time same with other politicians
Sure you would, but she has proven that she can't win. She would have lost even worse to any other candidate besides Trump. A new fresh candidate is the only chance the left has in 2028. Move on from Kamala.
Amazing that millions fell for drumps LIES!!! He’s a pathological liar , racist misogynistic narcissistic sexual predator & convicted felon! He only cares about himself has disdain for poor people. Sad our fellow Americans are so ignorant!
Hearing trump say that word is like seeing a poor person name delicacies. You've heard of it and maybe seen pictures, but beyond that you're absolutely clueless to the details.
No matter what people may think of Biden right now. His legacy is secure. He will go down as truly one of the greatest presidents who saw us through one of the worst times pretty well. It's just that we didn't feel it at the moment.
Hindsight is 20-20 I wish we could all learn how to appreciate more, what we have, WHEN we have it and not when we are about to lose it... Or lost it. Definitely a sad state of affairs. I agree Biden will be remembered as one of the greatest and most productive in the WH. It's a shame he is sandwiched between a Cheeto... ;)
@kenspear4297 who is most people? Because the experts who actually judge this kind of thing say differently, but they're educated, so you probably don't believe in them, do you
@kenspear4297 FFS... The American economy had a better pandemic comeback than the entire world. The chips act crrated less dependency on China as well.as numerous jobs. The infrastructure bill provided funding as well as many jobs for America/Americans. And don't forget that the Biden-Harris administration deported far more illegals than tRumps administration did. 😵💫Maga ignorance is glaringly blatant.
They have a minimum age to be president, there should also be a age limit on how a candidate for president can be, this country doesn't need a bunch of out of touch rich 70 and 80 year old men running this country
No one is even talking about what they will do for the PEOPLE. They are too busy fighting with each other over positions and money. It's all about them.
Brian regarding your election night coverage, it was so honest. It reflected the feelings so many people watching the votes roll in. Seeing your honest reaction and not seeing some news anchor at a desk being fed "appropriate reactions" is part of why I and many others watch you. You didn't lie to us or try to sugar coat it, you gave the results honestly and with integrity so thank you.
Its not the best idea to not elect a Speaker, but not certification of Trump will absolutely hold him and his party to the fire. A lesson he has not yet learned, with the exception of Judge Angoran, Chutkan and Merchon, in his 78 years.
Trump's first term was. Then he made Biden's term look same, which it wasn't. I think sh*t show is an understatement. This has been an ongoing coup from the beginning. They easily manipulated half the country.
Two things changed this election. It was not as far apart as it is being portrayed The energy around Harris/Walz was amazing. Don’t disregard it. There is a huge part of the population wants to return to the positivity they offered 1)The media was extremely biased against Biden and didn’t show how deterioratied Trump is 2) this election was BOUGHT by Elon Musk and the billionaires. We need to limit the amount of money allowed to be given to candidates. Was it Australia that just passed a law doing this?
I’m amazed that neither of you mentioned Hakeem Jeffries as leader of the Democratic party! Every time he speaks he eloquently & forcefully makes every issue crystal clear. He may well become Speaker of the House, and this position would be well deserved.
Daayyyuuuuuum, Brian! That all white background looks fabulous on you! Seriously though, this is all unfolding nicely & naturally. Isn’t it? Can’t wait to see security presence at /for certification . & magat. Will be telling - imma keep hopeful. You both are right on digging deep on, next steps & possibilities. Thank you for the lesson. You rock, young man. Go lead -
The far right (and Trump accomplices) nearly completely control the narrative through digital media dominance! This is happening to the extent that it barely mattered what Harris said - a large sector of the population only viewed news filtered through a severely biased lens. The one time that really registered on polls was when both Harris and Trump were on stage together at the debate - and Harris was the clear winner. Since then, everything she said was used against her by the right. People actually thought she was as bad as Trump - when in comparison, she was a saint. I don't know if anyone could have fought and won in this media environment with the November surprise (hundreds of millions of views of Rogan's Trump propaganda) due to the fact that Trump and his accomplices controlled the narrative - they suppressed the truth of Trump's incompetence and malice and they absolutely demonized Harris. The fact that the Nov. surprise went unanswered was a devastating last minute blow - and it still has gone unanswered by democrats as far as I am aware! Biden said something like 'how do you debate a liar.' Harris managed to dominate the liar in a debate. Harris did a stellar job in communicating, yet Trump lied, cheated, and manipulated the press to squeak by in getting enough votes. He has 34 felony counts for manipulating the press in 2016, I have no doubt that his campaign was corrupt beyond any sense of the election qualifying as being 'free and fair'. I do not think this has been investigated, and all evidence will likely be buried in his administration. Trump is an insurrectionist, and as such should be barred from office - as should many who have aided and abetted him. Other than that, I do not know how to fight this under a new administration that will more tightly control the narrative. BTC has the right idea in growing the truthful and progressive medias. We need to grow them immediately and exponentially! Please subscribe, share follow, like, comment... We also must organize in our neighborhoods and communities.

Outside of Jessica Tarnov,I never thought I be interested in listening to another Fox news host.This guy seems to be pretty rational and thoughtful.Good interview.
It's because he's in LA, and they won't tolerate the kind of Fox level lunacy in that geographic market. They definitely push as much lunacy as the market will bear, so some geographic areas get higher doses of Fox lunacy than others.
Hope you have a completely relaxing vacation, dear Brian. You deserve it, and though we’ll miss you, we’ll visualize you doing something you love, eating a good leisurely meal, sleeping enough, and restoring your energy. 💙❤️🇺🇸
Sorry, Gavin Newsome is tainted in my eyes--he married Kimberly Gargoyle, and that shows a lapse in judgement. Whenever I think of him running for President, I flash back to her screeching voice, and see her plastic injected face. No telling what dirt she has on him, real or made up.
Too late. The most powerful country in the World couldn't even send that criminal to prison where he belongs. Where was your power then?. You all had your chance at the ballot box.
@audreymcgready4329 don't act like all of us, didn't vote Okay, maybe you didn't, but I did sounds like this person did too. Why don't you go and yell at the people who didn't vote instead of those of us who did, because we're trying, we're fighting, go and yell at someone else.
That’s awesome I wish I’ve been voting blue since I was 18 and I’m in my early 50s and I’m gonna continue to vote blue!! That orange turd needs to be in prison!!
Brian, great interview and thank you for all you do. As many others have, I swore off the mainstream media after the election. Now you are my guy along with all the great reporting on the Midas Touch channels. Keep up your selfless work on guiding us thru the chaos with your knowledge and dedication!
BTC has been so correct about legacy media for a long time, and I am glad he is still keeping his composure and delivering us fantastic independent journalism. This is a great convo!
This has nothing to do with what is reality. It has everything to do with who controls the narrative that citizens are consuming. Trump still controls the narrative that most people consume! BTC seems to be among very few people who realize this crucial fact! He is right in trying to out-reach and network. We need to help progressive media grow quickly and exponentially! Please subscribe, share, follow, like, comment etc. on all good journalism and fact based programs you consume to help them spread. Help shift to Blue Sky - X is far too biased and controlled - laughable (if it weren't so serious) that Elon claims free speech and then cancels people who speak out against his corrupt behavior.

RIP to the best president, Jimmy Carter. ❤ Thank you for your service,we didn't know how blessed you we were to have you as our 39th President 😢
Sincerely appreciated this discussion between Brian and Alex.
Please let there be no certification.
More like an arrest
All citizens will have to insist on upholding the Constitution. Our representatives have failed in the past - we will have to all let them know that our Constitutional rights and freedoms are fundamental and must be upheld. The Supreme Court is also obligated to uphold the Constitution. As citizens we have the power to speak to and protest the Supreme Court as well.
We can tell our representatives that Trump is not qualified, as he orchestrated an insurrection. We can let them know that many others still in power aided the insurrection, and they also should not be in power.
We can let them know that a campaign for presidency dominated by lies from Trump and his campaign, with blatant manipulation of the press, and likely significant international interference is not a free and fair election.
We can protest.
I agree.
ye s😂😂😂
trump is big liar,he betrayed maga
Keep up the good work!!!! May you and your family have a prosperous New Year. I look forward to your work sir.
JASMINE CROCKETT AND AOC ARE THE LEADERS I WANT!
Yes indeed
Amen!
I'm in love with Jasmine Crockett! 😍😍😍😍😍
I can get on board with that!
Yes. Out with the old and in with the young. The country needs new and fresh ideas desperately.
Pete Aoc Jasmine Jared Gavin Josh Gretchen. These are the future of the party. They are able to get on tv and speak to the people.
Swalwell.
Yes💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
What TV, though....
Problem is the people that needed to watch & hear them were watching Tox Spews!
Raskin!
I think this is the best interview podcast of yours I have seen yet. So straightforward and honest. Keep up the amazing work Brian
I believe AOC was the choice the democrats should have selected..she’s on point
I don't believe she is eligible until next election
Nevermind she is exactly the right age haha 😅
I believe david hogg would be better suited he survived a school mass shooting and knows real life situations unlike AOC I love AOC but she gets protected from the top all the time same with other politicians
Connolly is actually pretty good, but AOC would be better.
Yet Pelosi said the aging cancer patient is the way to go.🙄
What a pleasure to listen to two intelligent people from both sides of the political spectrum talk politics without rancor or insults. Well done!
It was pretty hot!
Fantastic episode. Thank you both so much.
4 years ago. 45 lost and was counted out. Don't tell me Kamala is damaged. I'd vote for her in a heartbeat.
Me too
Yeah but other Americans are sick of what they perceive to be gender/identity politics and candidates to the exclusion as they want for their lives
Sure you would, but she has proven that she can't win. She would have lost even worse to any other candidate besides Trump. A new fresh candidate is the only chance the left has in 2028. Move on from Kamala.
@@carolinereidartistDo you read what you type? You look rather uninformed and silly right now.
So would I
It’s a one way ticket with VP Trump. He cares about himself period, power & loyalty. Lock him up!
Loyalty is the only reason trump has power & money. Without loyalty he would be nobody, nowhere. Why are people loyal to him???
Yes lock him up prison
Amazing that millions fell for drumps LIES!!! He’s a pathological liar , racist misogynistic narcissistic sexual predator & convicted felon!
He only cares about himself has disdain for poor people. Sad our fellow Americans are so ignorant!

BTC’s election night broadcast was terrific. 💙💙💙
Brian and Jamie.
Brian and Marc.
Brian and Glenn.
Brian and Elex.
My favorite teams from which to learn and watch.
Thank you, Brian!
Jasmine Crockett is great too
I love her and admire her and Ayanna Pressley, Katie Porter and AOC.
I agree I think these women are the best 👍🇺🇸💙💙💯
More TDS delusion
she is great to the people who listen to these podcasts, not enough to win an election
@@CLS-m3jI look forward to seeing at least one of these women on the presidential ballot someday!
Great conversation, and I just think it is so great that these two are such good friends.
Thank you for telling the truth.
Everyone should keep calling him President Musk. That's pissing Trump off.
Isn't he?
Vice President Trump's reaction to it is funny.
Why do you want to piss off the President?
I would never call this Jerk President!😡
He acts like a spoiled Brat!
May God be with the Carter Family right now. Thank you for sharing
I just got home with my GROCERIES!!! Such a simple word. GROCERIES.
Hearing trump say that word is like seeing a poor person name delicacies. You've heard of it and maybe seen pictures, but beyond that you're absolutely clueless to the details.
😂😂😂😂😂 Love this! Mock. Donald early and often!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Wow, beautiful word, trump created the word " groceries" ! don't ya know 😉
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know right!😂
@LightSoundGeometryFxNor do fake billionaires like DonOLD.
No matter what people may think of Biden right now. His legacy is secure. He will go down as truly one of the greatest presidents who saw us through one of the worst times pretty well. It's just that we didn't feel it at the moment.
Hindsight is 20-20
I wish we could all learn how to appreciate more, what we have, WHEN we have it and not when we are about to lose it... Or lost it.
Definitely a sad state of affairs. I agree Biden will be remembered as one of the greatest and most productive in the WH. It's a shame he is sandwiched between a Cheeto... ;)
@kenspear4297 who is most people?
Because the experts who actually judge this kind of thing say differently, but they're educated, so you probably don't believe in them, do you
Definitely 💯
@kenspear4297 FFS... The American economy had a better pandemic comeback than the entire world. The chips act crrated less dependency on China as well.as numerous jobs. The infrastructure bill provided funding as well as many jobs for America/Americans. And don't forget that the Biden-Harris administration deported far more illegals than tRumps administration did.
😵💫Maga ignorance is glaringly blatant.
@moosenut1337 well maybe yours do
They have a minimum age to be president, there should also be a age limit on how a candidate for president can be, this country doesn't need a bunch of out of touch rich 70 and 80 year old men running this country
No one is even talking about what they will do for the PEOPLE. They are too busy fighting with each other over positions and money. It's all about them.
Because what they don’t do anything for the people.
Ronald Regan said himself that government or state work for the people. Not no more. 🫤
It's always been this way.
Because the don’t care about people - all ego and $$ centric. We are all screwed
Dems were talking about what they would do for people. Fox didn't give that any coverage.
Regards from a Tom :)
Great conversation Brian! Happy New Year everyone!
Such a great conversation.
Brian regarding your election night coverage, it was so honest.
It reflected the feelings so many people watching the votes roll in. Seeing your honest reaction and not seeing some news anchor at a desk being fed "appropriate reactions" is part of why I and many others watch you.
You didn't lie to us or try to sugar coat it, you gave the results honestly and with integrity so thank you.
That be too good to be true getting rid of Trump
I wish they could get rid of that slime bag and Elon too both are just sickening
A couple of the alternatives are MUCH WORSE!
@idamcneill8005
The alternatives repel tRump's base or his donors or other key parts of Maga.
Regards from a Tom :)
Thank you for sharing your very valuable insights . 🇺🇸
Its not the best idea to not elect a Speaker, but not certification of Trump will absolutely hold him and his party to the fire. A lesson he has not yet learned, with the exception of Judge Angoran, Chutkan and Merchon, in his 78 years.
Brian enjoy your vacation it is well deserved
Once PA was called for Trump I knew we lost 😢😢😞
This is going to be a complete s*** show
😊😊😊
It already is
Already is, and they're just getting warmed up.
Trump's first term was. Then he made Biden's term look same, which it wasn't. I think sh*t show is an understatement.
This has been an ongoing coup from the beginning. They easily manipulated half the country.
We will hire the best people. Remember that statement?
Thank you, Mr. Cohen, for the interview with Mr. Michaelson.
Great discussion
Two things changed this election. It was not as far apart as it is being portrayed The energy around Harris/Walz was amazing. Don’t disregard it. There is a huge part of the population wants to return to the positivity they offered 1)The media was extremely biased against Biden and didn’t show how deterioratied Trump is 2) this election was BOUGHT by Elon Musk and the billionaires. We need to limit the amount of money allowed to be given to candidates. Was it Australia that just passed a law doing this?
Yes, Australia just did.
Yep, we sure did :)
We also don't turn off starlink in support of the enemy countries.
Thank you for pointing this out!!!
What about all the money Kamala got? Doesn't matter right?
I’m amazed that neither of you mentioned Hakeem Jeffries as leader of the Democratic party! Every time he speaks he eloquently & forcefully makes every issue crystal clear. He may well become Speaker of the House, and this position would be well deserved.
Daayyyuuuuuum, Brian! That all white background looks fabulous on you! Seriously though, this is all unfolding nicely & naturally. Isn’t it? Can’t wait to see security presence at /for certification . & magat. Will be telling - imma keep hopeful. You both are right on digging deep on, next steps & possibilities. Thank you for the lesson. You rock, young man. Go lead -
Thank you for being honest and real Brian!
The far right (and Trump accomplices) nearly completely control the narrative through digital media dominance! This is happening to the extent that it barely mattered what Harris said - a large sector of the population only viewed news filtered through a severely biased lens. The one time that really registered on polls was when both Harris and Trump were on stage together at the debate - and Harris was the clear winner. Since then, everything she said was used against her by the right. People actually thought she was as bad as Trump - when in comparison, she was a saint.
I don't know if anyone could have fought and won in this media environment with the November surprise (hundreds of millions of views of Rogan's Trump propaganda) due to the fact that Trump and his accomplices controlled the narrative - they suppressed the truth of Trump's incompetence and malice and they absolutely demonized Harris. The fact that the Nov. surprise went unanswered was a devastating last minute blow - and it still has gone unanswered by democrats as far as I am aware!
Biden said something like 'how do you debate a liar.' Harris managed to dominate the liar in a debate.
Harris did a stellar job in communicating, yet Trump lied, cheated, and manipulated the press to squeak by in getting enough votes. He has 34 felony counts for manipulating the press in 2016, I have no doubt that his campaign was corrupt beyond any sense of the election qualifying as being 'free and fair'. I do not think this has been investigated, and all evidence will likely be buried in his administration.
Trump is an insurrectionist, and as such should be barred from office - as should many who have aided and abetted him. Other than that, I do not know how to fight this under a new administration that will more tightly control the narrative.

I love Brian’s smile - wish he had more to smile about 😂
Best episode in quite awhile and awesome guest 2!
Have a great vacation, and a wonderful New Year, Brian.
Hopefully, things won't get as bad as we think in the next 4 years.
Jazmine Crocker, AOC..
We need individuals who will speak up for us.
Pete Buttigieg! Brilliant, articulate, calm, and he can explain complex concepts. ❤ Mayor Pete
@@colleengeier9994 lmao
lmao
Hakeem Jeffries, AOC, Newsom, Buttigieg
Outside of Jessica Tarnov,I never thought I be interested in listening to another Fox news host.This guy seems to be pretty rational and thoughtful.Good interview.
It's because he's in LA, and they won't tolerate the kind of Fox level lunacy in that geographic market. They definitely push as much lunacy as the market will bear, so some geographic areas get higher doses of Fox lunacy than others.
@GlendaKovach that's a good point. I hadn't considered that.
Independent news needs to unite for the people! I am 68 years old I believe we have to look to the future!
Great show BTC
Hope you have a completely relaxing vacation, dear Brian. You deserve it, and though we’ll miss you, we’ll visualize you doing something you love, eating a good leisurely meal, sleeping enough, and restoring your energy. 💙❤️🇺🇸
Can’t we just get a congress that works for the country instead of the just the rich we are all Americans
You would think! but that's not how Republicans think
Not with this bunch
Not if the majority of voters keep voting AGAINST their own best interest. 💙🩵💙🩵
“Just”
Facts but it depends on the people that vote them In
That overfocus Zeitgeist comment of fringe media message rocked Tyler!
Gavin kicks ass. Did you see him on Fox? He chewed them up and spit out their remains. He’s so bright. His vision is so. organized.
Sorry, Gavin Newsome is tainted in my eyes--he married Kimberly Gargoyle, and that shows a lapse in judgement. Whenever I think of him running for President, I flash back to her screeching voice, and see her plastic injected face. No telling what dirt she has on him, real or made up.
C’mon, they’ll blame Democrats no matter what!
Sure they will , Democrat's know that's why we make issues of ALL the B.S. their doing 24/7 !
Trump is going to prove the point Democrats make that he is unfit for public office. 😮😮😮😮
They fart 💨 and they blame democrats
Exactly
Why not? That is where the trouble starts.
Brian - i am thrilled to hear you're finally taking a vacation!! Splurge, eat all the good food, have an amazing spa day, you definitely deserve it!
Keep trump out is my wish!!!
Too late. The most powerful country in the World couldn't even send that criminal to prison where he belongs. Where was your power then?. You all had your chance at the ballot box.
@ I voted, for her. Have the year you deserve, no condolences.
@audreymcgready4329 don't act like all of us, didn't vote Okay, maybe you didn't, but I did sounds like this person did too. Why don't you go and yell at the people who didn't vote instead of those of us who did, because we're trying, we're fighting, go and yell at someone else.
Mine too keep him out
That’s awesome I wish I’ve been voting blue since I was 18 and I’m in my early 50s and I’m gonna continue to vote blue!! That orange turd needs to be in prison!!
BTC, Happy New Year. Will be watching you cover it all in 2025.
This guest has some really well thought out answers. Thank you , Brian for sharing this interview.
Brian, great interview and thank you for all you do. As many others have, I swore off the mainstream media after the election. Now you are my guy along with all the great reporting on the Midas Touch channels. Keep up your selfless work on guiding us thru the chaos with your knowledge and dedication!
I appreciate your friend coming on and telling the truth to our face!😳🫣🤭🤣
Happy 2025 New Year Brian. I hope you have a Wonderful safe great time on your vacation. Always a pleasure watch your TH-cam channels.
Love your yearly get together with Elex! Yes! 🙏👏🤓 Happy New Year! 🥳
Been taking a break. Good too see you again. Looking forward to keeping up with you in 2025. Have a good vacation.
BTC has been so correct about legacy media for a long time, and I am glad he is still keeping his composure and delivering us fantastic independent journalism. This is a great convo!
Thank you!
That was a great discussion.
You insist they can't blame the Dems but they will anyway. You realize that, right?
Trump already posted just that last night. He's already blaming Dems for FUTURE failures of HIS Presidency!!
Of course he is!
This has nothing to do with what is reality. It has everything to do with who controls the narrative that citizens are consuming. Trump still controls the narrative that most people consume!
BTC seems to be among very few people who realize this crucial fact! He is right in trying to out-reach and network. We need to help progressive media grow quickly and exponentially! Please subscribe, share, follow, like, comment etc. on all good journalism and fact based programs you consume to help them spread.
Help shift to Blue Sky - X is far too biased and controlled - laughable (if it weren't so serious) that Elon claims free speech and then cancels people who speak out against his corrupt behavior.
Didn't we all see this coming?
Only the sane non-cult followers seen it coming.
Absolutely 💯
Yup
But the drump voters did not see or hear any important info just drumps lies !!! And we’ll ALL suffer
Not all...trump is president-elect...
