I haven't heard this talked about at all and it is pretty darn alarming. Brian Kilmeade talking about euthanizing the mentally ill

He should go first.

Kilmeade is referring to the mentally ill, not the terminally stupid and ignorant. As a member in good standing of the Too Stupid to Be Believed Club, Kilmeade knows he would be safe from being killed for being profoundly stupid and ignorant. That would eliminate all of Fox News and the Trump administration, not to mention the entire Republican Party.

Anyone who says what he said is mentally ill.

Anyway, it was a (pointed) joke ... duh.

I do not know who he is, but your response gives me a clue- and it's funny, too!

I'm so grateful to you both. America is in desperate need of women like... courageous, compassionate, and intelligent.

Thank you,

"America is in desperate need of women..."

I'd say America is in desperate need of anyone...who fits your description. In a way, your statement, innocent though it may be, is a bit condescending toward women. There is no shortage of great women in this country. There is more of a problem among men.

Purges are happening in EVERY department of our government, it’s DISGUSTING!!!!!

Not just purges, but purges for all the wrong reasons, an important point to make. One day, and it can't be soon enough, many of the current unqualified clowns posing as professional facilitators of the departments they were assigned to run (dismantle, it seems more like) will definitely need to be purged, as a beginning to setting things right, with a reasonable sense of mission and order that the department was created to facilitate in the first place.

I am so grateful to both of you. TBO... my head is spinning, and my heart is breaking. You both explain in a way that people can understand. Please... keep up the wonderful work.

As an Australian who for a long time actively supported a change here from a constitutional monarchy to a republic, I’m looking at what is happening in the USA and realising that what we’ve got now is infinitely better.

I’d prefer to have an Australian as a Head of State, but, if so, with high status, but very limited powers. The best way is to rename the office of Governor General “President”, with executive authority still vested in the government that is a majority of our House of Representatives.

The founders of US democracy designed your system of government to avoid what is happening now. However, the fact that it is actually happening and no other part of the US political system, Federal or State, seems able to do anything, suggests to me that things need to change far more fundamentally than just hoping the Democrats will win the mid term elections and the 2028 Presidential election.

This terrible Presidential administration bent on setting up a fascist dictatorship suggests to me that the great weakness for democracy in the US political system has been revealed. The office of President has far too much potential power.

Trump has not only realised that Presidents can, if they really want to and lack all scruple and principle, do whatever they want. He and his fascist backers and underlings are dead serious about doing it.

Until now, you have been lucky that, until January this year, even your worst Presidents have stepped back from exploiting this to the full and frightening extent the current incumbent is.

Beautifully said! I love your perspective and your grasp of the matters currently reshaping this nation in very undesirable ways! I follow many podcasts, such as this splendid one, and have garnered a far deeper understanding of what is going on and the far-reaching implications. You seem to have the added advantage of witnessing from a more impartial perspective, but you then see immediately the implications for your own nation of which you are a part, and a very concerned part.

Thanks! I see worrying trends here but more so in the UK, France and Germany, which have long histories of their own fascist movements.

I have stopped wasting my time watching mainstream media. Thank you for your service. I too don’t trust FBI because I know they work for TACO.

"to the right of MAGA".... what have we become? Sickening. This fascist train is rolling faster than ever. Midterms way too far off to wait to make change. Young people just look at iphones and take selfies. Seasoned Dems need a new leader and a rebrand but they also need to learn to play this right-wing game. Constitution being bulldozed with a chess strategy. How to get ahead of it and block the King?

Conservatives are GAGGING for spin because they have zero talking points to deflect from the fact that the call was coming from inside the house. So they're just gonna violate a bunch of people's 1st amendment rights instead.

This one was so fun! You two should do these lives together all the time, or just, more often. You’re both such trusted and informed people, more so than, well, hardly anyone else on social media. It feels like most of the truth tellers from everywhere else who have gotten ousted exactly for that reason, have come here and found a home. Most of us here put a premium on honesty, integrity and hopes for our democracy to win this stupid fight. The coolest part is being able to engage with you all in these lives. Thanks for having Asha on, she’s really a top notch human being, as are you Allison. 😃💞☮️
