Great talk today. Thank you. I'm from California and and I am for Newsom. He's not perfect but overall his views align with mine.

Mitch McConnell and Merrick Garland were extremely instrumental in the huge pickle that we are in......and then the bloody Supreme Court ruling last July with the immunity BS. It's ridiculous!! Nuremberg trials!!

Great session. From Asheville, NC. I like seeing Katie fired up because I'm also feeling very angry. It's not like previously, though, where one stupid politician does something totally maddening. It's now in every sector, food, housing, healthcare, ignoring the law and blatant abuse of it by those in power. And there's nowhere to turn for that, so the fire just keeps fueling. I don't believe I'm alone in that. I truly feel that if the Democratic party doesn't get is act together there will be a revolution.

Hey Katie, this is the first time I heard you speak, and you are right on with how I feel about having the Democratic Party stand up and fight for our rights and freedom against the Republicans, who only fight for hate, and yet still come up ahead. This battle has to be an Eye for an Eye and no less!

Great show! I miss Katie Phang from MSNBC. They have removed most of my Favorite hosts....Mehdi, Katie and Joy and put Aiman with a group of mostly air heads, which has dropped the gravitas of his show. I love Katie in this more, relaxed candid environment. Susan from LA

It’s sad. The world’s wealthiest country increased taxes on and stripped benefits from the poor—to feed the wealthy. Give heathcare, food, and living wages to everyone and charge it to the wealthy that cannot be satisfied. To what purpose is a $ billion? Hoarding. I made protest signs for your protests. Protesting is now critical for Occupied D.C. There is time to get signs printed for your protest group. Fill the hands of the signless. Where are your signs? It is time to post them so that others can use them. FreeDC!

Exactly. We need a democratic Congress senate and WH. And in my opinion-and I stand firmly on that - we need to also fight fire with fire and redistrict.

Yes, Katie is right. This started a long time ago, with Ronald Regan in at least 1980. I was working as a reporter at the time and Regan's first act was to remove the Fairness Doctrine. I felt it immediately!

On the last few pages of “A Convenient Death: The Mysterious demise of Jeffrey Epstein” by Alana Goodman & Daniel Halper……..WOW. So many people with no conscience. Money, power etc.

That’s a tough one….🤔

I kind of don’t think so. However, with the crimes she’s committed-if she gets out on ‘good behavior’ -that would be a HUGE mistake.

I see now that the 'Like' Thumbs Up is now a 'heart'. OK.

From California. I don’t know if Newsom is the best candidate because California doesn’t always play across the country. But Newsom is governing over the 4th biggest economy in the world, is for universal health care, has worked to give dignity to all its residents- no matter ‘legal’ status -, and is quite capable of standing up to this mess of a White House. Who else has those credentials?

Good Germans? Anyone who voted for Trump voted for the package...whether they believe that or not. There is no Republican party. See: Stuart Stevens... so, we are not going to be THAT party...we are too smart for that... come on Mike
