    Did you pick up on trump saying “i get no” then he trailed off to say something else but what he started saying was that old rodney dangerfield line/bit “i get no respect” because trump is mentally deranged and he has put everyone here and across the world in to his own Truman show” only trump is not an unwitting actor, trump is directing as well as the main character and all of us ate forced to be in this macabre presentation!

    katy tur, the absolute worst! replace her, she sucks and always will! not worth a dollar she gets paid. case in point when jacob introduced her she talked right over him and i had to look up who it was because she blocked off her own last name over talking jacob. katy tur should be replaced with abby phillips from cnn if and when trump’s bf buys it.

  • Love the show…..real unafraid journalism (for now)

    Thank you so much for covering the well hidden documentary “Critical Incident” Jacob, you are the first on any corporate media to even mention it…..such an important film. I wish it would be released onto YouTube so more could see it before HBO puts the kibosh on. The only place that has mentioned the documentary is independent media. Hearing that on your show, I knew we were going to hear real journalism. Please keep it up. Thank you.

Interfaith leaders lead 96-mile pilgrimage in protest of ICE
Q: Reverend Edwards Acton, tell me where you are right now, what the road has been like since you left Atalanta on Tuesday.

President Trump’s unconventional midterm tour
Q: I'm so curious to know what you think about the president's visit in Nebraska on Monday. You think he's going to get a warm welcome there?
The guest expects Trump to campaign in the heart of a strongly supportive, rural district, where two-thirds of counties have previously shown strong backing, but also notes that local dynamics and farm policy concerns could affect reception and outcomes.
Trump Administration aims to whitewash Watergate scandal
Q: How did the Watergate impeachment process gain bipartisan support, and what does that history say about accountability today?
Holtzman recalls the unanimous House Judiciary Committee vote and the cross-party support for holding Nixon accountable, highlighting the tapes as a turning point, and she contrasts that with today's political climate where accountability is questioned by some as a partisan tool.
