Jim and Katie discuss what's happening in media and Crockett reveals she wants top Dem post on powerful committee. Tickets to Jim's upcoming live town hall in DC: https://www.thelincolndc.com
Great show today, Jim! I am increasingly impressed by Jasmine Crockett. She is fierce, intelligent, articulate, and committed, just what we need at this critical moment.
I went grocery shopping for a few things and what used to cost me $18 - $19 was now $22. I am a family of one on a small SS. I can't imagine what a family with 3-4 children have to pay. Gas prices in my area are $3.19 per gallon. Five days ago it was $3.40. The lowest it has been is $3.01, but rose in a hurry. How are people supposed to survive? With the value of our dollar going down, down, down and prices going up, up, up, should we ask Howard Lugnuts to help us out since he keeps saying that nothing is going up and he has so much money that he doesn't know what to do with it. He could reward all families X number of dollars and not even miss it. Maybe Musk would be willing to part with some of his money, too to help the American people out. He's got more than he can spend in his lifetime and if he gives some away, the government will reimburse him, but not us.
If I were you, I would sing your experience from the rafters! His minions are told exactly what to say, even though it flies in the fact of the truth. This presidency is all about HIM-how much can he and his family steal from the country; how much of our government can be ravaged; how much can he bend the Constitution to his favor.
I have been telling everyone that I can. So many people don't believe. They have a lot more money than I do and haven't noticed the impact yet. I have a neighbor that will not talk to me anymore because I pointed out a lie to him and stated facts to support it. Out of 10 homes on my block 8 people are diehard trumpers. I will keep trying. I will not listen to the lies. I will speak TRUTH always and hope that someday, they will listen.
Thanks for your response and doing what you're doing. I know how you feel. I have friends that believe every word he says, even though I send them links to my sources which have the facts which prove that he's lying. It's so easy to fact-check him and discover he's lying. His supporters don't fact-check him because they'll look foolish when they find out he's been lying all along.
Great people on your show today. They have all given great information in different areas regarding the situation here in America. It seems to me that Jasmine Crockett is watching what is taking place within this administration; they are taking action where they can, and have future plans for more action against Trump. The fact that his administration is following Trump's orders, knowing they are breaking the law, is wrong. One day, they will answer to someone regarding those broken laws. This administration cannot say it didn't know that they were breaking the law. They have degrees, and some have been in politics for quite some time.
I'm looking forward to the day when Trump and his cabinet of incompetent, selfish sycophants are tried and convicted. It may take time, but I believe a day of reckoning is coming, just as it did for the Nazis at Nuremburg.
I can't wait for that day of reckoning to come. Unfortunately, this type of conviction does take time. Impeachment is the first step to remove him from office. I would love to see Trump and his administration serve time. I read an article about Hitler and that he was only sentenced to 5 years. This sentence doesn't seem right to me due to the number of people he murdered.
I would love for Trump and his cabinet to serve time as well. I can see him seeking asylum in another country and hiding out to avoid it, though. Hopefully, he won't succeed and will have alienated what few allies he has around the world.
About Hitler being sentenced to five years in prison, that was for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch of November 8, 1923, way before the Holocaust. The Beer Hall Putsch was an attempted coup in Munich by right-wing members of the army and the Nazi Party. It was foiled, and Hitler was charged with high treason. Unfortunately, despitehis conviction, Hitler was out of jail before the end of the year.
Hear hear, Sarah. We the People will hold a modern version of the Nuremberg Trials and convict all these evil traitors to America. It’s gonna be a very long list. 😈
I've been on it for months and it still puzzles me! Hard to navigate. Hang in there. Your subscriptions are the main thing and appear in the band throughout the day.
Jody, under the video that is playing and under the Title of the Show are three buttons-1-Heart, 1 Comment Bubble, 1-Circle of Arrows. On Jim's substack feed you can give 1 Heart per viewing. Click on the Comment Bubble to leave your comment (it only works if you are a paid subscriber) and the Circle of Arrows is to Re-Stack on to your own page. I hope this helps.
To send hearts, you need to join a livestream video. I am often late to the party due to my time zone, but now and then, I get to smash the hearts too.
Thanks for the info. I am not really familiar with it either. I see it live if Jim adjusts his time for a guest or for an engagement he has. I usually watch Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House then. When I watched it live and asked a question, by the time I typed it, Jim or the guest answered the question before I sent it. So I watch the taped version.
You can’t forget about project 2025 either he is implementing that for a gross group of people who want control and getting rid of the institutions is part of the constitutional convention that they’ve been wanting to have to change our constitution completely you can’t forget about that because they got him elected so that they would he would do their bidding so he wouldn’t go to jail. That’s another part of this. We need to be talking about this aspect a lot more!
A voluntary network of highly visible, time proven journalists doing both their own Substacks but also combining their energies to expand each others' programming reach by "cross-pollinating" would be very powerful. Look at what MeidasTouchNetwork/Legal AF is doing. There is room for much more of these networking systems. I am paying for news now, which I never did before, and you'll not hear me complain about that. I am getting great value and am feeling much stronger to overcome our present national/international nightmare because of what is happening with independent journalism. It is the very definition of organic. Kudos to you all who are stepping up and joining each other so we can be part of and support your work.
NO to Jared Polis who made numerous gestures to cozy up to Trump. He praised the appointment of RFK Jr saying that he will make America healthy again. He endorsed X and tried unsuccessfully to get Musk to notice him. He adopted major events of Trump's deportation plan. He even attended Trump's inauguration. This is the problem of Democrats who claim they are trying to find common ground with Trump; there is no more common ground when the 2 sides no longer share foundational values and goals. MAGA do not believe in democracy, free and fair elections, the constitution, or the rule of law, and they are destroying the American institutions and systems which are based on those values.
After living in Colorado for 30 years now live in Washington state, but there were several years right after the 2008 reception Colorado is in a good shape better than the rest of the country. That’s when people started coming in droves cause we had jobs before anyone else. Good democratic leadership there and people who have been very smart not your typical Democrats actually. It always was worse under the Republican governors. We only had a couple. And I did not do well for the state.
But people it was like five years straight came to Denver. It was like in 150,000 people a year mostly to Denver. It was insane and that was before they legalized marijuana.
I’ve been so grateful for governors like Polis /Hickenlooper before him and really really liked Roy Romer fabulous. Out of the box thinking and always trying to help Coloradans
I love listening to Jim’s show. Can’t always make the live, but always catch up. I can’t stop hoping Trump gets impeached and consequences catch up to him for all his misdeeds. He is so reprehensible-as a person and a president.
Great show today, Jim! I am increasingly impressed by Jasmine Crockett. She is fierce, intelligent, articulate, and committed, just what we need at this critical moment.
I agree with Rep. Crockett about Joe Biden going down in history as one of the best presidents we have ever had.
His legislative record will be the testament, similar to LBJ.

Same here, trumpy neighbors.
Good for you, Judy. It's hard, but keep trying.

My goodness, less than a year doesn't fit the crime. I agree, Trump will hide somewhere.
From your lips to God's ears!
Hear hear, Sarah. We the People will hold a modern version of the Nuremberg Trials and convict all these evil traitors to America. It’s gonna be a very long list. 😈
Wish I could send hearts. I need a tutorial on how Substack works.
I've been on it for months and it still puzzles me! Hard to navigate. Hang in there. Your subscriptions are the main thing and appear in the band throughout the day.

I actually prefer the taped version myself, too. I'm happy this was useful for you. ♥️
I think the hi pay celebrity hosts have the bandwidth. Not sure we are truly live when production gets "more frills"
Love Jasmine Crockett!
I’m always happy to see who your guests are, Jim. You pick the best people!

Thank you for your post. I agree!
Jasmine gives me hope like no one else has! She is fearless and I love her!!!
Welcome Rep.Crocket👏🏽👊🏽💪🏽🥰
Jim, today's show was tremendous! What a treat! Really appreciated Jasmine Crockett's insights -- they give me hope!
We’re glad Congress Woman Crocket came on your Substack, a true leader, which we need more of Woman like her👏🏾👊🏽💪🏾🥰🇺🇸
