There needs to be much more emphasis on this shutdown being the responsibility of one person-Trump. The Republicans in Congress are completely paralyzed and he is the only one who can end this mess, give people food, and extend the ACA subsidies.
It is stunning how ignorant you are of the facts maga, republikkkan dan. If you took time to research you would know that nothing you said is accurate. But then I know the research tells us that most maga trump supporters read at the 6th grade level or below so maybe you don't know how to do research and learn the facts.
Let's change the subject. Right? You've been mislead by your liberal overlords so long that you can't see or think for yourself. You belong in Disney land. You're huffled and puffled. Next thing, you'll think you're a teletubbi.
YES ON PROP 50, DUMP CON RTRUMP. AVOID THE TRUMP RECESSION, DUMP AND IMPEACH TRAITOR , NAZIS , FELONS, FASCISTS, PREDATORS , IMPERIALISTIC WAR MONGERS, AND CON REPUBLICONS EVERYWHERE. YES CON REPUBLICONS, CLIMATE CHANGE IS DANGEROUS, REAL, DISRUPTIVE WORLDWIDE, COSTLY, AND PREVENTABLE. STOP DENYING CLIMATE CHANGE AND FACE THE SCIENCE . DUMP THE CON RTRUMP AND CRONIES. DEPORT RTRUMP'S WIFE AND RELATIVES. BOYCOTT NAZI MUSK AND NAZI RTRUMP. VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY AND THE FAIR DEAL, NOT THE RAW DEAL.
All good with the interview but I’m a democrat that wants candidates to exact revenge on the GOP and recognize that we will win national elections when Democrats fight back and use Trumpian tactics to do so. It seems antithetical from our big tent philosophy but I’m tired of the abuse this party has gone through and really need Democrats to follow through on prosecutions against this corrupt administration.
I agree with Carolann. Trump is the one person who is responsible for this shutdown. But his ‘followers’ are sitting on their hands doing nothing to end it. The damage it is doing to who we are and what we stand for will not easily be erased unless those who are sitting on their hands and doing nothing are willing to say ‘enough is enough’ and get the govt back to work. Your behavior either way will not be forgotten.
I am afraid that the Republicans will tank so badly that the Democratic establishment thinks they can win without changing. The platform they should run on is that the underlying problem and cause of almost all other problems is the corruption of the electoral system by wealth. All too often the party puts it's hand on the scales of the primary elections and the candidates that win do not represent the voter but rather the money behind the party. To say you need to take money from the rich to reduce their influence is equivalent to, "We had to bomb the village to save it!" Yes, I am old enough to have lived through the Vietnam War! At the very least I would want the Democrats to ban Super PAC and Dark Money from their primaries and to let independent voters vote in their primaries. Let the candidates in the general election actually represent the voters. The party needs to be totally transparent on where all the money is coming from and if they can't stop the money in the primaries coming from places like AIPAC at least let the voters know who is trying to influence their votes and ask them whether this is in their best interests. The party need to put the voters back in control. The Democrats also need to reform their gerontocracy. It is way past time for succeeding generations to take control of the ship. For example the party could refuse to endorse anyone that is older than 70 on election day. For full disclosure I am an old fart of 79!
The two discussions we must have are what do we mean when we say someone earns their wealth and what should we do about it if they don't?
Also, we live in a mix economy with private and public sectors. The question is which activities should be private, which should be public, and which should be a mixture of both?
Mr. Rogers is not inspiring. Nor are Schumer and Jeffries. Newsom and Pritzker and Beshear and Murphy are inspiring. Bland DC blah-blah doesn't cut it.

Hey Mike - I really love your show and the guests you have on. The conversation is always stimulating and informative. I would love to support your work, but I never make monthly contributions that have no pre-determined end - I know I just won't be able to keep track and most likely will miss the notification that they will roll over to another year. If there is a way to put an end date on the contribution and you can then contact me to renew for another period of time, I would love to support your work.
Seattle. Krasnov proclaims an emergency and that does not automatically activate SNP benefits? Does not seem logical. Dems need to demand action due to emergency contingencies. The budget is there.
We have ABSOLUTELY INCOMPETENT INEPT STOOGES in Democratic Party leadership. Jeffries, Schumer, Gillibrand, Slotkin, Goldman, Schultz, Moskowitz, Klobuchar.
Disagree. Some of those people are smart, dynamic and strategic. One of our problems is we're too easily distracted by bright shiny things and anoint the wrong people.

That's all bullshit carolann.
Biden was nothing more than a globalist puppet. Without President Trump, America would be an Islamic nation. Like the U.k is.
Is that what you want for your country? For your children?

Stunned by your stupidity.
Look at Europe. Seriously take a good hard look. That could have been us
Again it is stunning how ignorant you are of the facts.
Move to the U.k and get what you want. Some Muslim will be slapping you around and crashing your backdoor.
Racist much? Wow. 🙄
Move to Russia and get what you want
I'm really sad for you that you are this delusional and fact-challenged. It's not a good place to be. You have my pity.
It’s very likely a bot or a boomer MAGAt. Both are pathetic.
Riiight. And Obama was coming for our guns too, remember? MAGAts are domestic terrorists.
No he wanted common sense gun laws!!
That's what he said. But Barry was lieing. The first thing a socialist does is disarm the population. Then Healthcare.
Next. Education. Obama is evil. A silver tongued devil who convinced big Mike into believing that his back was his front.
Let's change the subject. Right? You've been mislead by your liberal overlords so long that you can't see or think for yourself. You belong in Disney land. You're huffled and puffled. Next thing, you'll think you're a teletubbi.

They aren't "followers." They are spineless toadies.
DNC could better serve the people by replacing this Martin guy.
Ken Martin is as exciting as a bowl of oatmeal. 🙄
With whom? Some unaccomplished loudmouth who said something you thought was smart, but hasn't done anything? I see too much of this among Democrats.
