We've been saying we need fighters...Beto said it too. The old way of taking the high road does not work with this regime. I am hoping we can get back to that someday, but for now, we're in a boxing match. Debates don't work when you are being punched and kicked by bullies, especially when it's not a fair fight. So to the Dem Politicians, practice your uppercuts, jab, cross, and hook. If you need to add some kung fu, feel free! This is gonna be a lot more than 12 rounds!

It's long past the time where we have to get down and dirty to fight them. Taking the high road and being polite has to be abandoned in favor of dirty fighting. C'mon Democratic governors let's get going.

The problem with the Dems is that is against their way of doing things and feels bad to do what they the REP. are doing. We have to use their tactics but stay in the legal framework. Don’t know if that’s even possible! An unfortunate family member used to say”nice guys finish last” to give him the excuse to be a nasty mean and bitter guy. He died of alcoholism, and alone in his garage.

Melisa, it's true. I don't feel good about it, that's for sure. But I have been in bad situations in the past...cornered in a locked room with a boss and stalked on a street. In those moments, I had no choice but to yell, scream and threaten. My first approach was to speak calmly- I became more of a victim. But now, to me, it feels like we are locked in a good and evil battle. Personally, I feel that democracy is on the line. I have NEVER seen anything like this (in the U.S.- I saw it in war-torn countries I lived in) in all my years of living. If being calm and debating doesn't work (Harris held her head up high in the last election, and we've got this THING)...what's are the other options?

Thank you, Beto O’Rourke, for sharing your wisdom. We, as Americans, need you so badly. Although I am not in Texas. I believe that Texas needs you! We absolutely must win everywhere in 2026!

WTAF??? A $2billion dollar BALLROOM, when he’s throwing people off of MEDICAID AND SNAP

If we don't win both Houses in 2026 we can kiss America goodbye and welcome Nazi Fascism. If we want to retain our Representative Republic we must win. Thank you Beto O'Rourke for agreeing with me

She was 16... what was she doing working even at Maralago,where is the info on the 13 year old lawsuit and description of what Trump did to her. Was she an employee of MarAlago too?

TACO made his situation worse by claiming Epstein "stole" one of his young employees. What was a girl at such a young age doing working at Mar-a-Lardo?

Virginia’s dad, Sky Roberts, worked in maintenance at Mar-a-Lago for 20 years and has testified that he helped Virginia get a summer job there, as a spa attendant.

Now is our moment—take action against this harmful government. Covering up a pedophile ring. Ignoring court orders. Blatant corruption. The poor, the needy, and children are being abused—by our government. In the streets we must protest outright crooks and the pedophiles until after their shooting us starts, until we go down or we oust tyrants. I made 54 protest signs, and will make many more to share. You will see something different in these signs! Help yourself to this second batch, and share them as far as you can.

Who's going to build it if all the immigrants are gone?

Beto knows what he’s talking about ☝🏽

Epstein's brother has a picture of Epstein's door to his cell block that he took shortly after Epstein's death - the video that is supposed to be the official video is totally fake - it doesn't even have the real door to Epstein's cell. It's actually quite obvious.

Great show.

You bring to your viewers something more important than an analysis of the stories, something more important than the interviews. You have created an oasis of civility, (even your swearing is somehow inoffensive), that I look forward to visiting every day.

Yes, serious conversation and intelligent inquiry define your show but your decency as a person shines through it all, and in a world of ever increasing indecencies, your light just keeps getting brighter.

Thank you for all the work that you do to help your fellow Americans stay informed, and sane. Thank you.

Thanks so much, Jim. That was a great interview

Watched the replay. Thanks Jim, another great show. Thanks Beto and Molly! I love the hiccups sometimes; it gives the show character. It's real life problems we all have, rainstorms and bad service. Keep up the good work!
