I am a Canadian and am so sorry about what is happening in your country. Please stand together and protest peacefully I will be praying for your success in standing up to autocracy.
Gracias Kathy... America no mas para mi... El Gringo Viejo
We’re standing with you, too, Canada 🇨🇦 I’m so sorry for what this horrible leader is doing & saying regarding your wonderful country.
I love what Trump is doing ... and you can have Katie and Russ Mize and anyone else that think actually enforcing our LAWS is wrong. If you don't like what he is doing then CHANGE the law ... Everything he is doing was campaigned on and promised and now he is fulfilling those promises. THAT is how a representative democracy works and the majority of Americans voted for him ... and you are just the bitchy minority. I have not been this happy in 40 years. Trump makes Regan look like a liberal and I LOVE IT! Peace!
WE LOVE YOU CANADA ! ✌✌
Thank you friend :”) We APPRECIATE the moral support here !!!
Katie, just a reminder, millions look to you for true infomation. It's bad and getting worse, thank you for keeping us informed and engaged.
Yes we do. 👏
Keep it up Katie we appreciate your great information
Way to find out that Katie was one of the people lying to you about Trump the whole time. You guys have been brainwash.
EXPERTS SAY THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THIS AND ITS NORMAL NO IMPORTANT INFO WILL BE HIDDEN!!
LIBS STOP THE FEAR MONGERING!!! TRUMP IS YOUR DADDY!!! Seeeth!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Doctor Faust, thank you so much for coming on here and helping us understand what it going on. As a retired nurse, I also want to thank you for your service to people in this country and helping save lives; I know how incredibly hard doctors work. God bless you!
This is unbelievable. I'm Canadian, watching closely because whatever happens to Americans may happen to Canadians. I appreciate the information you bring to us Katie! My head is exploding. Trying to keep myself sorted. I can't imagine how you're feeling. What's his name is knocking on our door; I'm not sure how long we can leave him there. Sending hugs to Americans, for what it's worth.
I worked in Toronto before retiring. I was asked what did I see as the fundamental difference between our two cultures. My response: Canadians are not taught to hate each other. here in US, we are taught from birth/ our civil religion which is based upon "I'm OK, you're not per our devotion to Calvinism. I wanted to immigrate to Canada but could not afford it.. so here I sit living out my days in economic uncertainty.
@@RussMize You and me both! I think what's his name would be quite happy to go back to the time of servants, slaves, the rich and the others.... I agree -having lots of money right now is a small line of defense.
Stand strong Canada! Support Canadian businesses.
Stupid people. 🤦🏼♀️Do stupid $hit.
It's tremendously difficult with every day bringing new threats to our Democracy. As a lifelong Democrat I did not vote for the orange-faced terrorist. The muskrat takes things to another level of chaos. We did not vote for nor desire his involvement in any way. I'm so sick of the blatant misogyny, racism and gender discrimination. I'm an elder and I've never seen this level of degradation. I ache for the people who will be deported, the families who will be separated. It will be interesting to see what happens when the vulnerable folks who keep our society running and productive suddenly are gone. I abhor the way the orange-faced creature treats immigrants. He is married to one. His former wife was one. The muskrat is one. So much hate. I apologize to Canada and Mexico, our closest allies and neighbors. There is no reason to levy these 25% tariffs. It's all just so wrong.
Why aren’t our representatives doing anything?? Are you kidding me about their silence?? This is horrible.
If Republicans in Congress feel enough heat and pressure they will turn on him to save their own behinds. That's what can stop him
They are all waiting for someone else to stop him.
This is much scarier than I thought it was going to be...I was expecting a shit show, but we're in a shit monsoon!!! Thank you for having these conversations...so appreciate you Katie!❤
I’d say it’s a landslide.
In no way have we seen the worst, IMHO.
It's going to get a LOT worse than this!
Yeah I was just sharing that with my people here how it's so much worse than I had expected.
Call your senators and congressman. They have to believe they could lose in 2026 before they will step in. Congress is the only entity that can truly do anything here. They can impeach him if he refuses to listen to them. Ask your congressmen(call them all) and senators to stop the illegal dismantling of government agencies. Tell them to consider impeachment.
The people scrubbing lifesaving information from the CDC are the same people who scream "censorship!" when moderators take down their threats and insults and profanities.
They think they are allowed to exist, and the rest of us aren't.
Soooo true.. no exaggeration/hyperbole in your statement. This scientific censorship is such a reminder of Hitlers purge of information.. in the 1930’s .
💯
Yup!
Republican tactic: Accuse the other side of what you're doing.
I am utterly confused at how easy they were able to just delete things and throw us into such chaos!
Should have worked harder on defense. Our Congress isn't doing its job, and only a few judges seem capable of denouncing the Felon in Chief's attempt at destroying everything we commoners need.
Yes, and maybe they were able delete democratic votes in November, 2024.
That’s what the orange crush wants chaos!! Then people aren’t watching what they are really doing!!! MAGA is thrilled!!!
Please stay on these items Katie!! Please.
Top scientists and medical specialists will avoid working in the U.S.
How can we relax?!? When a criminal is allowing criminals to takeover our Country!!😢
Jesus. You guys are so calm. This is an effing emergency!
EXPERTS SAY THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THIS AND ITS NORMAL NO IMPORTANT INFO WILL BE HIDDEN!!
LIBS STOP THE FEAR MONGERING!!! TRUMP IS YOUR DADDY!!! Seeeth!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Right?!?!?! Are they calm cuz they’re naive? Sound the alarms!
@ fake news like all liberal lies
I called my senators and rep today and actually started crying, I'm so distressed by this Elon Musk business, along with all the rest of this rolling nightmare.
Same💕
How did it go? How did they respond to your call?
Fear controls why don’t you calm down and stop listening to people like Katie Couric.
It becomes more of a shitshow every stinkin day!
Doctors and health organizations, sue the Trump administration now!
Unfortunately no one is doing anything about it! They're all afraid of him.
@@user-di2on5gl2dI think rightfully so…..unfortunately.
Yes, like the AMA for example! But, hey, they can’t; the AMA have been staunch lobbyists for a certain political party for decades.
Of course, contributing to both sides, but their major interest re: lobbying is in retaining for-pro HC.
Half of those "doctors" are as rotten as the online cults influencers snake oil grifters sociopath psychopaths Republicans. They'd unalive every one of their own patients for a GOP "tax break" the gd "trickle down" mafia are everywhere and are like the 😈 bi$$ionaires they see the working class as their marks and their livestock and love this 😈 "system" "greed is good" 1980s that their dictatorship Trump is the posterchild of
@@user-di2on5gl2dHe's already been stopped in court for some things. There are a lot of court filings happening. I know it's not enough.
Thanks Katie for tackling these topics during these tough times. I appreciate your efforts on keeping us informed.
Go Katie!! Your political interviews are much needed. Keep them coming. Please keep on what's happening in the White House.
Fool
@@KAT-dg6elsays the foolish.
This is so frightening. What is happening to our country. This is not even a month and all we have known as a country feels likes it’s crashing. I will be calling and we all need to flood the system with protests. And to our Canadian friends- Americans appreciate you and this assault against you does not represent what “we the people” believe in. 😢
Doctor's need to be filing a lawsuit.
Current School RN…We must FIGHT, RESIST, this censorship! America wake up!
1984 has always been helpful but is now required re-reading as a lens to view what’s happening. Authoritarianism 101. Truth is a Lie. Keep doing what you are doing Katie!
Sounding more and more like The Handmaids Tale as each day goes by.
Yes it does
it will be...
For the first time in my life I called my representative. I hope what you said is true. I got a recording that I would be called back but haven’t heard from anyone yet.
SAME HERE IN THE HORRID DEEP RED STATE OF FLORIDA...
Guuuuys this is CRAZY! THIS IS NOT OKAY! pls take care 😢 europe❤
I did too...we need to be calling every single day!! This is NOT a "one and done" kind of emergency!
Thank you both for bringing the news to the public.
Thank you both for this information. And thank you Katie for the number to the Capitol Hill switchboard
You can't leave a message because the Senators' voicemail is full. People are probably calling by the droves.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Lotta gullible folks out there who got fooled again. Trouble is, we all get the consequences.
Thank you Katie!!! I can NOT relax at all right now. We all need to be PROTESTING IN THE STREETS TODAY, TOMORROW, as many days or weeks as it will take to STOP THIS COUP
Your state Capitol Wed Feb 6
@jannichi6431It is the 5th!
The person saying the 6th is wrong. It is Wednesday the 5th!!
I appreciate you’re reporting Katie. Thank you.
This is definitely much more than scrubbing DEI. We'll find out eventually, to our detriment.
Seriously. You know it is when they claim meritocracy and put up those nominees with no merit or qualifications for the positions.
Thank you for keeping us informed as our country is now in great danger
Thank you and your guest for keeping us informed. Katie, any ideas on what we can do beyond calling our senators?
Call your Congressperson, too. They are re-elected every 2 years and are much more sensitive to bad news than senators or the president.
There is a nation wide 50 state Peaceful protest at 50 capitols this Wednesday 2/5/25. Please let people know & attend if you are able. A small vocal minority is dominating the Trump controlled media. Very few people are in favor of this extreme agenda - but we lack visibility and our voices are not breaking through the extremist noise.
Contacting senators & representatives is crucial! Thanks!
I’m in shock I can’t believe what’s happening in our country.
Why are you shocked, the mad man told us what he was going to do before the November 5 election But people still voted for him because they did not want a black woman president. You all said, Trump is just being Trump like you all knew him. So don't be damn shocked.
Many of us tried to warn people.
Any major outbreak we won't be warned or have guidlines.
Hi Katie!! I know that you're doing the right thing by bringing this up. Some people stay disengaged when it comes to anything political but I find it impossible to do so. We need more of your colleagues to step up and start truthing. 💙 🇺🇸👍👀
I am teaching a course and over the weekend I was trying to find public health data on health inequities and outcomes. Several of the links including public health data that identifies communities at risk were shut down. I received an error 404 website has been removed. I was so angry and just gutted. How can this happen in America?
Well, it was illegal to scrub those websites. Who will prosecute?.
Has no one realized that the red team cares absolutely nothing about legality. By the time the courts act they will have access to every americans info will be compromised for the coup to be unstoppable.
Who has the spine or cash to sue these billionaires
@@KateyEllenPrice-p6x3d with a crime boss in charge, there is no law.
I’m with you Katie! What the hell is happening???
IMPEACH TRUMP!!! GET ELON MUSK OUT OF THE TREASURY AND THE USA'S GOVERNMENT!!!!!
He has already been Impeached TWICE during his last term. Slapping the Impeached status without following through only tarnishes the reputation. The follow-through would mean to forcibly REMOVE them from office. I agree, fElon should also be removed as he has a huge conflict of interest in gaining access to the information we charged in and took. Neither should have the security clearance to handle sensitive and classified information.
It is my opinion that once you have been Impeached, that should disqualify you from being able to run for a political office, but here we are. The Trumpster Fire is burning, and it doesn't appear to be dying down anytime soon.
Do you think Republicans who currently hold a small majority in the House will go along with impeachment? Unfortunately, no. There are some special elections coming up where it is possible to give Democrats the House of Reps.
Hi Katie,, thank you for going live on a Sunday for such an outrageous issue.
My daughter is a cancer survivor with an oligodendroglioma brain tumor we rely on CDC and NIH for recommendations. I'm nervous.
This Administration doesn't care who they hurt. Project 2025 is informing this and they want to dismantle our government and set it up in their image.
Thanks Katie, for talking with an ER doc about urgent topics. The medical community is doing the best we can with what we have right now, and grateful to still have the freedom of speech to discuss these absurdities.
Please get your voice to any one who will listen. We need a resistance.
Hello Ms. Katie . This came up on my feed . I will watch since you were always one of my favorites!!! It’s great to see you. Public health is important for the public especially those who are not as fortunate. It helps to have information so that they are informed.
Never has it been so apparent the importance of freedom of speech and of the press. Suppression of information is a serious threat to freedom and democracy!!
This all just reminds me of the book 1984. Hide information, don't let the masses know the real facts, less words allowed in the language.
Someone needs to bring a lawsuit against the Federal Government for walking all over our rights as citizens.
We have re-entered the Dark Ages.
Elon did say he was “dark MAGA” and he needs to stay the h3ll out of Europe.
Thank you for getting the word out
Why doesn't the CDC just publish their stuff regardless of what Trump wants to scrub. Get some public servers to publish this important data. The CDC should stand up to Trump.
MUSK has everyone's information from the Treasury.. what is going on!?!!!
The reps and the rest have been in the steadily heating water for some time, and we've chosen to turn up the heat. Action is in order. NOW. leadership not rants
Ignoring fascism won't make it go away either.
Shame! These individiuals should never have to scramble nor add MORE to their already stressful workload.
You and Barbara Walters will go down in history as amazingly truthful. Thank you Katie Couric
Katie, I am freaking out. What the helllo is going on with our government. This is ridiculous to have an absolute crazy man taking over our country. Where is congress and what are they doing about this crap⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
I was told I need a flu shot every year I’ve never had a flu shot. I was told I’d die if I didn’t get the Covid vaccine I didn’t get the Covid vaccine. I was told after 50 I should get the shingles vaccine. I told the pharmacist if I ever get shingles then I’ll decide if I need to put anything from the pharmaceutical company in my body.
You’re all like a bunch of damn sheep didn’t learn a thing from four years ago.
@ you were not told you would die without a shot. You were advised that shots would help. Not the same thing.
Do any of these things being removed or deleted fall under any of our constitutional rights? Are there attorneys in work on these issues? Are we bring set up to be gass lit ?
Appreciate all the info & insight your program gives us!
Thanks Ms. COURIC !!!
Keep reporting the truth. Be fearless.
Yes, be fearless as Hades (as my grandmother would say).
@@hollywoodjadedHades is coming quickly.
In my humble opinion they are not Fearless enough. And I am very surprised by the passivity of the Americans. It is perhaps because of your individuality that it was easy to lead you like sheep.
Thank you, Katie and the great Dr.
I really hope that medical professionals are continuing to keep statistical records, so that they can be put back into public record, when the government is hopefully returned to sanity in the future.
It is called a hostile takeover
Thank you Dr. Faust!!
Truth to power. We need to stay informed. Thank you, Katie 💝
If they are shutting down all these agencies, WHY SHOULD WE PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAXES!!!?
Do some research about federal income taxes and what they pay for, your ignorance is astounding!!
Watching from the State of Rhode Island-another informative show-thanks again Katie-& thanks for your participation Doc.-very important stuff-Much Peace All.
Thank you, Katie
What is happening today? There are 230 children absent in a neighboring elementary school.
Undocumented people are to MAGA what Jewish people are to Nazis.
Measles in East Iowa.
Its crazy, but what drives me over the edge are the MAGA voice rationalizing this as a necessary and reasonable step. What's the purpose? Who knows?
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!!
*If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you..prevent inflation..*
I feel sympathy and empathy for our country, low income earners are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Wayne. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $10,000 and receiving $35,460 after 28 days of trading.
Well, I have nice side hustles like investing and the good thing is that I do it with one of the best (Mr Wayne), he's really good!
I will recommend. Michael Wayne . Investing Services. to you. He is good at what he does.
Did someone just mention Mr Wayne!? Damn! You just made my day; what a coincidence.. I've worked with him for over 2years and I can tell how good he is
It's great to see you guys talking about Michael Wayne, This man changed the game for me. Good Man❤️
Thank you very much!
Very good interview 👍 He was very insightful & gave me some hope. Thank you both
Mitch McConnell's family relied on public funding to support them during his illness with polio, but hasn't wanted to extend that help to those in need since then. I wouldn't count on him to do anything that doesn't benefit him personally.
What are they attempting to hide?
Thank you, Katie and Dr. Faust for the information. Melissa Plessinger
Thank you, Ms. Couric, for reporting the truth. We are in dire need of the facts - what is happening and why (and for/by whom, when, etc.) and the consequences of those actions.
Mapping, NOAA and related scientific data sources disappeared in the first week of inauguration. FYI. These are authoritative information used by the global and scientific community. I'm not American- for context.
If it disagrees with them then it is woke.
Why isn't the people commiting these illegal actions in jail?
There must be some way to stop this!
Thank you for this interview. Dr. Faust was very informative and inspiring. Do you think mass calling of the White House makes any difference or are they too far gone to care?
Mass calling is never the wrong thing to do. Call Senators and Reps!!
The illegality of his first administration PALES in comparison to this one. That is saying something considering he was TWICE IMPEACHED the first time.
Are we facing American apartheid?
Health workers are trying to save your life. Without info they cannot.
🎉❤beautiful exchange of dialogue.. I appreciated every single moment! Thanks guys. Keep me posted!
Thank you for being an uncensored place of news🎉🎉
We appreciate your news updates. Love ya Katie.
CDC can't cut off data if local sources Confederate, simply send their data to a dashboard maintained by a non-governmental institution or group.
Very informative Katie, tyvm
So I guess the time I took two months ago to answer a CDC phone survey - or at least parts of it- were for nothing.
Not going to know what to put in the flu shot is very scary and it's going to get worse if RFK Jr. is confirmed as head of the HHS.
RESIST
Tell the people how!
Welcome to facism.
I hope you will shorten this interview into several sound bites to provide your audience with shareable essential information from it. Thank you for this important information!
I seldom post anything political on FB, but this is such an incredible time!
Maybe it’s time to look at countries that could help the American people, and start negotiating with them.
Perhaps people on here have recommendations for reputable sites in other countries? UK? Denmark? Canada? Etc.
What does woke mean? Is it even a word when somebody to tell me everybody talks about it but nobody says what it is
Thanks, Katie for bringing this to our attention. It’s really important.
Woke is now defined in the dictionary as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),” and identified as U.S. slang. It originated in African American English and gained more widespread use beginning in 2014 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. By the end of that same decade it was also being applied by some as a general pejorative for anyone who is or appears to be politically left-leaning.
It directly translates to “awake.” The right has weaponised the term and the dictionary definition someone provided was not likely written by an African American so I think it’s a little light in its meaning. Lead Belly the blues guitarist first coined the phrase. So when people bash “woke” it basically means they are bashing people who are awake and wise to what’s going on.
The Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ - love thy neighbor as thyself and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that tresspass against us. Love, mercy and acceptance ❤
Think of it as one "woke" up to the injustices around them. That's how it started-a positive word. The word was then politically hijacked and mutulated by the right to mean something weak and overly sensitive and used by liberals to give "ridiculous" and "unnecessary" favors to minority groups.
Thank you! Glad for your voice in the fight to get our Country back!
thank you Katie!
It reminds me of the old Chinese dynasty when the ruler burned all the books.
Cripple the system so you can blame the system when funds disappear.
