Gotta have him on more. He’s great. Try and get an interview with Jasmine Crockett. Would love to hear that.

WHy can’t California just hold its immense federal income tax revenue until they are have a commitment for the federal funds in disaster reliease?

How are all those California employers going to stop the federal withholdings from paychecks.

True that. California could sue for breach of contract. The agreement was that states would send a certain oercentage of their citizens’ income to the federal government in return for which the federal government would maintain the “general welfare”. Calif. sent the tax revenue, but the feds didn’t send funds consistent with other disasters.

They just have to pay their employees with cash.

I love Jared Moskowitz. I can't wait to see what he does to Gym Jordan.

If we can't afford Medicaid and Social Security, how can we afford to buy Greenland, Panama, Canada, etc.???

Let his boy Musk buy it...

I don't think the felon has any thoughts about "buying" anything. He'll use his usual approach of trying to scare / bully by dangling the concept of our military's going in and taking over. (More "macho" too, for the tech bros and others who feel "masculine energy" is the only way to get things done.)

We can't expect purity -- we have to be pragmatic and use common sense. So if Fetterman wants to meet with Trump, so what... he is trying to get what he can for his state. If he actually votes against the American people, then we get upset...We have to act on reality not what we think is happening. Trump gives us enough to be angry about.

Farleft purists will continue to make that argument against him, but I agree with you, we need to have at least Unity on the fronts that matter, not call out someone for one position or another (sorry Palestinians) that we don't agree with. Oops, HOW many dead babies?

It' s not that the Biden administration didn't communicate. It's that most people in this country have the attention span of a fleas and are suffering from universal amnesia. They are attracted to the biggest lie, rather than the biggest truth. The Dear Leader is not at "communicator." He is a lying huckster who babbles and makes no sense. People are distracted by his constant gimmicks and tricks. This says more about the failure of the American voter than it does about the Dear Leader's abilities.

You are so right. Good, steady, honest, caring people are oh, so boring. Not convicted of adjudicated rape, not convicted of interfering with an election, not accused, and would have been indicted of inciting a riot to overthrow the confirmation of a president if Jack Smith had been allow to proceed...what fun is it to have an honest man in the White House when a country can have a full blown criminal? A felonious carnival barker is what he is and we will pay the price for all those yokels who bought the snake oil.

I like Rep Moskowitz. We need to start getting it done and stop worrying so much about superior morality and being right.

Thanks for this interview, Ben.

I would absolutely love, going forward, if you could focus on other Other News, good news, around the country that DOES NOT INCLUDE DONALD TRUMP. I think what the Meidas Network does is essential, but for your own and our mental health please please please stop leading off every story with these fascist traitors and their every thought, actions and NOISE. TY.

Great interview! Trump has been playing the distraction game his whole life. The Congressman’s advise is spot on. We must stop our outrage at every zany idea out of his head. Pick our battles, don’t take the bait like legacy media does every, single, time!

25 degrees is too chilly to have Trump's shitshow outside?? 25 degrees!!?? Geez, don't visit Canada in winter! 😯

I truly think this a ruse. As Congressman Moskowitz said, it's to control "shrinkage." That's one way to look at it. But the Convict-in-Chief is all about optics and I think that the word is out; people, as they see , start to experience, the cluster f*ck the adjudicated rapist is creating, at their expense, they would prefer to go to the opening of a letter than to be seen paying homage to the felon.

I think the media is partially to blame for bad messaging of Biden’s accomplishments. He had good unemployment numbers, kept inflation in check,passed the infrastructure bill and much more but the press and media were more interested in the outrageous ramblings of the demented candidate. There was a double standard. It’s the reason I cancelled my subscriptions to The New York Times and The Washington Post. Add to that the 24/7 lies of Fox News and anyone would have trouble getting their message and accomplishments to the people. I’m surprised you can’t see that Congressman. Biden and Harris bashing will not help us save democracy. Calling out Trump and Republican bull 💩will. I’m here on Substack to help fight the good fight and I heard you mention some good ideas today but bashing the home team isn’t helpful. You’ll notice Republicans don’t do that. Let’s take that page from their playbook.

totally agree...why would we want to be somewhat paranoid, here and start infighting over every move. That's the repub's problem..let's not follow suit. we can't afford to be divided now.

Traditional media is going the way of the dodo bird. I believe it's because really good solid FACTUAL reporting is expensive (and can't usually work at the pace digital / any social media works - accuracy often falling by the wayside). They're just trying to survive so it's just clicks that they're after. They see how faux has done well with just clicks, so....... and who really cares about facts?? Plus, the big ones are owned by all the wrong people who feel the need to appease youknowwho as they strategize for even more billions for themselves. Flourishing oligarchy is what we have here. (It's been in play for years but only recently pulled into the spotlight.) If you were suggesting that Jared was doing the Biden/Harris bashing I'd say I saw it differently. It is true that their communication & marketing skills were lacking. OK. Learn from that and move on. I am tired of complaining about the past and now just want to move forward in ways that we can minimize whatever danger may be lurking. I like Jared's overall pragmatism & energy. We need more like him. We have them; we need to give them more power and support. The old ways no longer work. The older generation at the federal level is too far removed from the realities of younger generations.

The sacking of Turner has a silver lining! He is responding by not showing up for votes! He is 🤬 The loss is aid to Ukraine and NATO support advocated by him. Surely others will move forward on those. Speaker Mike bending knee to Trump on this one will not bode well. May take nine votes to take his gavel but others see the 💡! How many defectors until House is in Democrat’s Jeffries capable hands. My dream….💭
