    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“It’s remarkable”: Trump escalates election interference before midterms
Q: What is it about you? Do you like meeting random people? Why do you have the confidence to do that?
Debbie Shields said her parents and church upbringing helped build her confidence, and that she enjoys meeting people while traveling and connecting with them.
“It’s remarkable”: Trump escalates election interference before midterms
Q: Walk us through how you figured this out. How did you uncover Tommy's identity and why did you decide to look deeper when you saw the video?
Marisa Kabas said the interaction seemed inorganic, which reminded her of a report about college Republicans being paid to disrupt El-Sayed events. After receiving a tip, she investigated and identified the man as a former aide to Senator Josh Hawley.
Why the GOP is spending millions on Montana’s Supreme Court race
Q: How is Elijah doing, and how much does this change affect you and your plans for his care?
Jackson says Elijah is in remission and in the maintenance phase of treatment, with about another year of active chemotherapy. Losing in-network access leaves the family without an available insurance option to continue care at the hospital.
Why the GOP is spending millions on Montana’s Supreme Court race
Q: What makes you different and better for this job?
Eddy says she supports nonpartisan judicial elections, has avoided partisan events and party money, and sees judicial independence as a protection for the public.
“It’s not starting over, it’s moving forward”: Award-winning actor Billy Crystal reflects on loss and grief
Q: How do you think about experiencing all this grief, one after the other, after the other? How do you process it? How are you doing day to day?
Crystal reflects on earlier losses, including his father's death when he was 15, and says grief is difficult to carry. He describes it as something that comes and goes, and says people need to experience it without letting it overwhelm them.
