Emma speaks with Krystal Ball, host of Breaking Points, to round up the week in news.

/ breakingpoints
Krystal Ball dives right into the recent State Supreme Court decision out of Alabama officially establishing embryos as children and effectively outlawing IVF treatment, exploring the Chief Justice’s insane Biblical defense, how it gives away the game on the right’s end goals with reproductive constrictions, and what it means for reproductive care in Alabama moving forward. Next, Ball and Emma parse through the recent mainstream media coverage of Biden’s age issues and their attempt to convince us of his totally real behind-the-scenes spryness, tackling the role it plays heading into the presidential election, and what to make of the question of voting between someone facilitating a genocide, and someone who definitely would also facilitate a genocide, before briefly assessing the (however slim) possibility of a Kamala Harris candidacy. They then touch on recent news about US intelligence downplaying Israeli evidence of UNRWA participation on October 7th, and what to make of the US’ active facilitation of this genocide in the face of their own intelligence and mass public objection, then wrapping up the interview by touching con Krystal’s recent coverage of Julian Assange’s extradition trial.

If IVF is a child .Make sure you take them as a tax deduction.
Exactly
Yeah thats like 9 kids since IVF usually creates around 9 embryos.
I shouldn’t have laughed but I did, too funny. I mean the tax deduction not the other stupidity
Women should start demanding child support then, too.
Yup
If the judge thinks a human life can be frozen for years without dying why don't they volunteer to prove it by getting frozen themselves?
Because "Rules for thee but not for me" is like Kayfabe, but 100x worse. They don't care that they're not rational, but they also don't know that they don't care.
🤭 Right !!
Sounds like a plot for Idiotcracy 2 where the future is smarter than the idiots thawed out from the past.
Strangely, these idiot judges think an egg is a human being yet they don't order social security numbers to be given to those eggs
Best idea.
The party of “freedom” is against recreational sex ?
Freedom... For a certain set of people
Every sperm is sacred; if one gets wasted MAGA gets quite irate.
“Freedom for me, but not for thee…or worse, I’ll force you to be like me.”
Freedom is bought and sold to conservatives
They could ban all sex if they unbanned IVF...
This is "Handmaid's Tale" coming to fruition. If the republican party wins in the slightest its going to roll a shit ball down hill that will be almost impossible to stop
you have obviously not read the book....you saw the TV show though right? haha
I wholeheartedly agree. Although I have never heard of the analogy 'to roll a shit ball down a hill,' it is absolutely befitting.
@@mattiereid77 I've read the book twice, and, when you have a state supreme court quoting the Bible instead of U.S. or state laws, common law, precedent or the state or federal constitution, we're living in the Republic of Gilead.

@@liliachan3753how long do they last? Do you even have time to eat them all before they turn bad?
I saw a great meme, change the state name to Talibama..where under age girls are forced to carry children and frozen embryos have more rights than living children.
I hope that isn't trademarked as I'm going to have to use that. Cheers mate
I'll be borrowing that myself too
Rest of the world already thinks they are dumber than a sack of rocks, it’s now confirmed
Y'all-Queada 😂
you guys will be forcing gender transition on christian children in state funded sterilization factories still staying smug shix about "Talibama".
While you constantly crap on Biden's verbal mistakes you should also point out that Trump is just as bad. Trump called Melania Mercedes last night & had to read his children's names off of cue cards. If you're going to talk about one's problem you should talk about the other having the exact same issue
Incorrect. Trump is worse. Biden makes the occasional gaffe. Trump misspeaks all the fucking time as if he had advanced dementia.
We already know about Trump. This channel leans far more progressive than establishment Dems who still thinks they can win with finger wagging instead of taking action.
People only turned out for Biden because we wanted Trump out.
Biden has proven his administration is far too weak to affectively fight against far right and Christian Nationalist because that would require rolling up their sleeves and going against the status quo.
Too many people are hnder the delusion that America can go back to where it was in the 90s while ignoring all the problems that lead up to it.
Milquetoast presidents dont move the needle. They're content in normalizing the current state we're in because radical change is far tol scary in either direction.
Thats why Dems struggle and get steamrolled overtime because they lose a chunk of their voter base while Republicans will crawl over broken glass to get to the polls.
Not to mention Trump's last few speeches being so horrendous that he was even fact checked by Newsmax and Fox News.
And if first people conveniently forget that he has a stutter which he works on, just like any speech impediment. It's all just ageism and ableism from the far left(the horseshoe end of the far left).
I used to watch Krystal Ball a lot when she was on Rising. Her co-host on that show was a right-wing guy named Saagar. He was an immigrant from India, yet he seemed to hate other people of color and especially undocumented immigrants. He also claimed to be a Republican populist, which does not exist. I finally stopped watching Krystal Ball after she kept fawning over Tucker Carlson (WTF?) and even appeared on his Fox show where she did not press him much on issues. It's hard trusting a progressive when they start promoting Tucker Carlson.
Fair dinkum
💯💯
Yeah, I was done with her when she was falling into that whole "Left and Right wing populism are the same" garbage. She's way too smart to believe that, and it felt like a grift or a sell out. I thought she had settled into playing Colmes to Saagar's Hannity and was genuinely surprised to see her on MR.
Yeah. Rising is shit and Saagar's a fascist. It does seem like she's trying to distance herself from his views recently so maybe that counts for something .
I actively groaned when she was announced. She's just a left wing grifter. That's it.
I'm so sick of people obsessing over Biden's age while ignoring the fact that Trump's mental facilities have declined far worse than Biden's. Go watch any Trump speech from the last year and compare it to his speeches in 2016 or even 2020 and it is clear that Trump has completely lost his mind.
They both have. Noting one isn't inherently ignoring the other
@@widget0028 it is for msm. You'll hear about Biden's age on every channel, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox & even foreign media, but you'll only hear about Trump's age, verbal mistakes & him being worse mentally on MSNBC. Every other news station focuses almost exclusively on Biden's age & gives Trump's lunacy a pass bcuz he's always saying crazy ridiculous things
@@widget0028Biden's mind shows age. Trump's mind shows mental decline and most experts believe he has Alzheimer's. A doctor gave Trump a cognitive test for a reason. You know, the test Trump brags about. Doctors do not order a cognitive test without reason
@@widget0028Yet from an external point of view (I'm European) I only hear about Biden's mental declining, not Trump's. Democrats try to run on policies, avoiding ad hominem attacks on Trump, Republicans, or MAGAs I should say, run on apparences and fake outrages and lies, and will hammer down any message that demolish their opponents. And the medias pick what produces the best engagement rate, the talking points of the right.
@@despaney they just avoid talking negatively about their own man. Just like the right.
I didn’t really have a reason for never visiting Alabama, other than not trusting them.
It's ok, you can say Alabamastan. I certainly do.
Below that Mason Dixon line, Yankees are frowned upon now. They never let go of the Civil War.
No good reason to go there. It's backwards.
I'm British and have friends in Alabama. I'll visit them thank you very much. I may disagree with policies pushed down the throat of those residents of Alabama, but there are some that are liberal.
If my wallet was 1 foot inside the Alabama border, I can get new credit cards
I get it's disgusting having to vote for Biden, but there's no way in hell I'm risking Trump part 2.
Your vote is unlikely to matter
There's other folks running????
Nothing disgusting about voting for DEMOCRACY. Good for you. Donald Trump must not be allowed anywhere near Government again.
@@CherDele and what will the excuse be when hes not a candidate?
@@alitamoon2731 On the left???? Not really. Cornell West can't figure out what direction he is going. Jill Stien and Johnson are a joke (like always)
Then there is the "Moderate" Kenedy who is basically tRump light.
We get Biden. But it isn't really that bad. As moderate as Biden has been historically, he has been more progressive than any president in recent history.
I wish he would grow a pair and lead an effort to cut off Izreal, but it is what it is.
Biden got ranked 14th which is pretty good when you think about it. After a second term (assuming things go well) He may even manage a higher ranking in the future.
I am absolutely terrified for the future right now.
Give me 10% of your income and I'll tell you it'll all be alright.
You're gunna be okay
These two went on for a half hour complaining about Gaza not even mentioning that backing a rightwing Israeli government would be 100 percent republican policy
Vote blue. All the way. MAGA needs removed from our Congress too.
Then make sure you vote and vote blue - not quite as bad as red.
I was eating at a gas station in spicewood tx yesterday, less than 10k population, heard three old white ladies with thick southern accents talking about how disgusting it is that their "tax dollars are going towards genocide" gave me some hope.
They were probably talking about abortion, not Gaza
I wonder if that judge who quoted the Bible so much in his judgment has ever worked on the Sabbath day....Little do most Republicans know, the Sabbath is historically held on Saturday.
Those bozos would all be gone on day one if they followed their own book.
Oh holy fuxk my mind is blown wide open for the firstest time evers. Moron. Thats not a little known fact. Every 7yr old who grew up white and american knows that.
You guys can pontificate all you want and be idealist, but if Trump gets in office, he is not all of a sudden going to grow a heart like the Grinch at Christmas. He will literally aid Israel with flattening Gaza and let Israel take all of Gaza and keep it.
If that happens, America will be regarded with the same scorn as the rogue Zionist state. And many countries will be leaving the sphere of influence of the US and joining BRICS.
yeah, they know that, einstein. you're not raising a point here so much as you're belabouring it.
@thehellyousay - Thank you. I couldn't have said this better.
What a nightmare of an avoidable position this country is in.
@@lynneanderson4255
it IS avoidable.
you have plenty of good candidates to choose from.
but you love the g word.
@@thehellyousay Well, anyone thinking about sitting out because your going to teach someone a lesson. I learn my lessoned the last time fools sat out in 2016. Nothing improved for me. Actually got worse with his tax deduction for most middle-class people I know.
The US is a right-wing nation run by the ultra-rich and the corporations.
Biden is doing as well as possible with what we have.*
Don't push people to vote for the GOP.
*He's supporting unions, whish is where we can get more national support for the left-wing change we need to reform our nation, as well as our current, cut-throat form of capitalism.
I liked what Biden was doing right up until the point he supported genocide. I can't bring myself to vote for him now
biden is actively supporting the g word.
he's not "doing as well as possible".
That’s exactly right. I keep sort of wondering if Biden has gone a little too far left for the establishment. As you said our left is right of center in any reasonable population.
F**k Butcher Biden! Vote 3rd party!
This. Am so enraged by the propaganda that it's a "democracy".
Aha...so the egg IS the chicken !!! This solves the ancient question.
@heyfay -The chicken was not always a chicken, but the egg has remained consistent far longer.
pretty sure Charles Darwin definitively settled the question almost 200 years ago. It’s the egg
@@JohnDoe-my5ipah yes, but why did it cross the road?
This begs the question, if I, even unknowingly, fry a fertilized egg can I be charged with cruelty to animals? Maybe the SCOTUS will take the time out from the Trump immunity question (which should already have been answered and maybe we need to see SCOTUS impeached/disqualified for inability to answer a grade 2 question.) to answer this important question. And, maybe the selling of such an can also be seen as a crime like white or brown slave trading.
And, is it unlawful to raise hens without roosters, cows without bulls, pigs without boars and such thus avoid the creation of life for which the ova and sperm both live and desire to create life?
Just hold your nose and vote for Biden. We have to get past Trump. This is no time for a protest vote if you really love this country.🙄
They broke the Elder Sign and let orange Cthulhu out and are now shocked he's trampling everything including them. What did they expect to happen? He's the best howler and gibberer, world class, best anyone has ever seen. Strong, tough men come to him crying, telling him how good at gibbering he is.
The Dobbs Decision has shown just how unpopular the endgame of the GOP actually was.
They lost a mandate vote on it, IN KANSAS!!!
This is such a slam dunk for the Left, I mean, if they run proper candidates for office….
They can’t find proper candidates, because if they do it will upset the donors, and therefore upset the gravy train of the Democratic Party upper echelon’s. They would rather have a Trump than a progressive. Imagine if you had enough proper elected progressives that The legalized bribery system that we have now was ended
Best we can do is octogenarians and advocates of business loan forgiveness for owners who received Pell grants and operate for three years in a majority black neighborhood smh
Give me the old guy who’s trying to do the right thing instead of the old guy who doesn’t know what the right thing is !

I can't watch Breaking Point.
Saagar's blinding stupidity just infuriates me.

What do you not agree with?
I stopped watching when he did research on Twitter/Facebook only for a couple of huge stories
@@jonnyrondo507 I’ve seen better arguments from smarter men than Enjeti. The idea that he’s coming out with some new radical conservative thinking is self contradictory as well as laughable.
Sagaar should stick to talking about aliens because it's genuinely enjoyable. His political takes on the other hand are hot garbage.

What's ;laughable; is your reponse to my question.

I don't think that anyone will vote _''for''_ Joe. But they will vote _''against''_ Trump.
nope!!
Crack me up... 43th in the nation for child well being... can't even take care of the ones they already have.😆
The unsafest place to be in America, a black women's womb in NYC.
Wait a minute. After birth they're someone else's problem. And, we haven't even started with the other cells in living things bodies that GOD allows to die.
This needs to go to the Supreme Court. We need a ruling that embryos are not babies or children.
That is the same SCOTUS that overturned Roe V. Wade.
I'm not sure they are going to rule like you think.
Really? SCOTUS will vote the other way. It will be a generation before we can get such a ruling, thanks to RBG and Trump.
They WANT it to be challenged. The whole point is to get Obergefell back in front of SCOTUS because the conservative majority has already signaled they will strike it down.
Scotus already said that it's up to the state's determine whether an embryo is a baby or not. Alabama has made their decision. Scotus has really pigeonholed themselves here.
I don't know have you looked at SCOTUS lately?
The Biden policy in Gaza makes me cringe- the recent interview with Pelosi was a bit horrifying. Yet I am really not wanting Trump to be back in power- no way. I totally get the quandary we are in. Great discussion.
It's truly down to that. Biden is not great, but Trump is worse.
Trump will send more money to Israel.....more Palestinian lives will be destroyed then now....and then America becomes a fascist hellhole.
Biden it is then.
Yea sure mate , one wants to be a Hitler dictator & run even facit of US society
the others are just pathetic ..there’s a huge difference
@@queenslander954 no doubt that having Trump in power would be the end although I think he is losing his mind and I imagine it would be chaotic. I am going to vote for Biden in the general if the choice is between Trump and Biden - absolutely cause I have to

Wait, isn't this the lady who plays the mild centrist position against that guy who is possessed by Regan's ghost on days that end in y?
I was as shocked as y’all.
🎯🎯💯 Exactly!!
Her being soft on Sagaar wasn't even the worst that she did.
What was utterly appalling to me was her doomerism and her equating literal fascists and corporate Dems as equally harmful to America.
She was part of the crowd, for a while, that was saying "we need to strongarm the Democratic party with the fact the fascists are going to destroy Democracy if we want more progressive candidates". For a long time she was advocating for using Democracy as a bargaining chip.
She did wise up though, especially in that debate that her and Kyle had with that duplicitous snake, BJG. But even then, she had to keep reiterating how much she hates Biden and how bad he is just so that she doesn't come across as a Dem.
She was literally making arguments similar to "Dems don't want you to have higher wages and they don't want to uplift workers by making the corporations pay, therefore they're as bad as the fascists who want to install a conservative theocracy".
These are the same people who whine about Biden being the defacto Democrat candidate, but they're pushing primary candidate jokes like RFK or, I'm sorry to say, Cornell West.
Many of us won’t be voting for Biden but against Trump, and having to do that hurts. I cannot support the genocide of Palestinians, but I can’t support fascism in our country either. Never before, in my lifetime, has there been such a blatant example of voting for the least horrible of two undesirable candidates.
if you dont vote for the final two candidates, youre basically voting for whichever one wins. I dont support biden, but I/we have to vote for him if the other outcome is fascism. whether or not that changes your mind its fine. but its still the fact of the matter. we suffer whichever wins.
Damned if you do.....
my hope is for a movement of people voting for the most progressive people for the house and senate. Pack those rooms with as many people who you agree with as possible is the only way things can change
you say you dont support it. but you're voting for one of the two candidates who enthusiastically support it.
so you're at the very least willing to vote for someone who will do it.
are you white?
@itsokiie have you stopped to consider that Biden is also offering us fascism?
Breaking points panders way too hard to Pro Trump Libertarians. From a business standpoint not a lot of growth in catering to the niche. If you're catering to the center then put Trump's crazy shit on blast.
I mean they've had Norman Finkelstein on twice. That takes balls
@meredith12438 NF been on Piers Morgan too. And against Shmuley B no less.
You must be new here. This is a leftist channel.
They constantly put Trump on blast.
We've got to do better than "we're not the other guys".
Thats how Hilary lost.
Another big reason hillary lost was many leftists saying they will never morally vote for her! Sound familiar???@@URFTBOUND4LIFE
In my life (58), I have never had a chance to vote for who I wanted to vote for.
Pro tip: You're not supposed to like politicians.
They denied Bernie, first candidate I felt real supportive of in a long time. They brought us to this crisis.
Voting is a mechanism, just use it.
There is no perfect. A vote for Bozo is a vote for Project 2025.
And a vote for Sleepy is a vote for Lina Khan. Biden sucks but his cabinet is actually kinda based. Remember Trump’s cabinet of ghouls and goblins?
In Alabama reverse cowgirl is illegal because you can't turn your back on family.
that's why you have mirrors. Walmart sells mirrors. and they're cheap too. buy a mirror.
What to say about her partner Saagar's bonhomie with Tucker Carlson?
He used to work for Tucker, right?
They both love TC.
MR preach about the importance of challenging right wingers in interviews, but Emma chose to abandon journalistic integrity, here. It's not like Krystal downplaying Trump's fascism before and after 1/6, generally being more critical of Biden over Trump pre 10/7, starting a right-wing podcast with Saagar Enjeti, sucking up to Tucker Carlson, partnering with Kyle Kulinsky, who effectively signaled to his audience to not vote in the last two presidential elections, would have any relevance to this discussion. Emma can never talk about softball interviews again.
Progressives need to unite and realize we have to strategize for the long term, because just expressing our anger with our vote does absolutely nothing to move us toward better policy or peace in the world. The reason the white Christian nationalists are getting their way with the overturn of Roe and with insane laws in red states is because they have worked together for decade after decade focused on that goal. Any Republican win just solidifies this and sets them up to go further.
It should not be ignored that Republicans are talking about using the military against citizens here at home, prison or worse for political opponents and media that criticizes them, controlling people’s personal lives in ways we haven’t seen before. The IVF situation is just the tip of the iceberg.
We can be frustrated or angry with the Democrats, but right now they are the only tool we have to prevent worse, here and abroad. Third parties and independents have to get power by running for seats they can win, not waste time with fantasies about starting out at the top. It’s not a difficult decision for me to vote to protect my family, friends and neighbors, as well as prevent worse in the rest of the world.
💯MR used to be about this, now it seems they are going the way of TYT and chasing outrage algorithms.
If we want to be strategic we need the Democratic party to pay so they realize not listening to their voters come with a price. Otherwise they will just keep doing what their $pon$er$ tell them to.
We lived through Trump, and there is no need to exaggerate, the danger to your family is not even remotely close to the one Palestinians, Yemenis and Ukrainian kids are facing thanks to Geno Joe.
@aviava7097 Really, you need to get some actual information before any attempt to strategize.
Have you forgotten all the weapons Trump sold to the Saudis to use in Yemen? The Muslim bans? How much he admires Netanyahu? Are you unaware that it’s House Republicans holding up aid to Ukraine?
And a second term of Trump would bear no resemblance to the first where there were normal Republicans in his administration. He and his cohorts have been open about plans to fire many thousands of government workers and install folks who say yes to anything. They talk about using the military against protestors, setting up prison camps for political opponents, and getting rid of any critical media.
Strategy does not mean what you seem to think. It certainly does not mean making things far and away worse both home and abroad.
This is giving me 2016 vibes... "I can't vote for Hillary because...."
Meanwhile, Republican voters will vote for Trump because he's got an R next to his name, .

@@sabin97 1) Here's how I think about it. We don't have real democracy, we NEVER get to really pick which two dishes are on the menu. You have corporate broccoli sandwich (Biden) and corporate dung sandwich (Trump).
Anyone “doubting,” just picture Trump appointing more SCOTUS justices. Let that sink in.
And more federal judges nationwide to hand down judgements as crazy as the AiVF one. Not to mention the planned firing of tens of thousands of governments workers to be replaced with unqualified lackeys.
Remember when Sam said that given the only options were two candidates that wanted to build concentration camps he would vote for the candidate that wanted to build less concentration camps?
If that position is considered valid by far leftists, then they have no excuse in not voting for Joe Biden over Donald Trump.
LMAO
If you're sitting there thinking, "I can't vote for Genocide Joe," ask yourself if this situation would be better or worse under Donald "Jerusalem is the Capitol of Israel" Trump.
How are they any different? Biden actively sent US troops to help Israel. Both of them are filth.
I thought he said “I made Israel the Capitol of Israel”. After calling Melania “Mercedes” and forgetting Eric and Lara in his thank you speech. Stable genius indeed.
Ah so we finally reached the logical conclusion of the "lesser of two evils" strategy and are now forced to vote for the lesser of two genocides
I just wrote the same comment. I should have just scrolled down
Well said
Chris Rufo is a menace
Yeah he's a real shitface.
He's the devil, pure evil.
We've never had a solution to the taxation without representation issue. I've always felt that my taxes haven't gone to the right things.
Strangely, I think Krystal's verbalizing her thoughts on how she can't vote for Biden, finally convinced me that I could (if I lived in a swing state where my vote mattered at all). She kind of alluded to the fact that Trump isn't going to be any better on Gaza than Biden is. So as disgusted as I am at Biden,, and as much as I agree that it's a moral red line, our presidential votes aren't going to impact the Gaza situation. Therefore our vote needs to be based on other issues where it actually will make a difference.
What other issues? Genuine question.
Immigration? Where Biden is repeatedly trying to pass Title 42, and decrease asylum availability, and give executive power to the president to say "no browns please"
What about healthcare, where Biden has privatized the Medicare of over a million americans against their will, without choice?
Housing? Economy? 11m new homeless, household debt at 2009 levels, corporations and the 1% richer than any president has ever made them before
Environment? Bidens approved more oil drilling and sold more land to oil companies than Bush and Trump combined.
What krystal actually did was give you something to feel superior about which is all dem voters want, it doesn't matter if they're literally voting for trumps policies, which voting for Biden is. Just some vague idea of, "i'm actually a good person for voting for G-c-d Joe!"
you're not though. Sorry.
I have to disagree, this line of thinking brought us to this point of two lobby owned parties, both supporting Geno.
They will change only when it hurts them.
If they see large block of voters voting Green for example causing them to lose the election, after crying and whining in public they will change their policies.
Regarding their approach to Palestine, the demand should be simple, just like with S.A apartheid - allow the displaced Palestinians back to their lands and one person one vote - both are very basic concepts of democracy.
@7097Except that a large number of voters voting Green would still result in either Trump or Biden being President, so it wouldn't change anything. Sure, can you get enough voters to make the Green candidate actually win the presidency? That would be a different equation, but it's not the world we live in. "This line of thinking" is the inevitable result of the way our electoral rules are set up; to change the game, we'd have to change the rules. Which we should. But until that happens, we are stuck in a 2-party system, with vary rare realignments that result in still being in a 2-party system.
It's really a choice between the guy who supports a genocide in Gaza but with way better policys in all other areas, and the guy who supports a genocide in Gaza and Ukraine, and a rollback of rights, protections and healthcare access.
Third party or non voting is really half a vote for Trump.
@@cigarsid7445 I can't decide which is funnier the fact that your whole argument hinges on that Biden has "way better" policies when he literally just has Trump's same policies (passed Trump's medicare privatization, keeps trying to pass title 42, etc) but YOUR Daddy is doing them so they're Good
OR how you don't even make the slightest attempt to justify the non sequitur conclusion of "if you don't vote for Jim Crow Joe, who's agreed with Republicans his entire life, then YOU'RE the guy helping Republicans. Not me, the guy voting for their policy" XD
There is no perfect world or perfect person that has every perfect answer for you both but you must admit the old guy is getting a lot done for the American people. Jobs jobs jobs, cleaning up chumps mess, reducing supply chain and corporate greed inflation, lowering prescription drug costs, increasing pay, increasing union membership. When you whine about interest rates check what they were back in the 80’s, I got a deal when I assumed a 10% mortgage. Biden 2024!
Beyond the fact that he's old and he looks old, can anyone explain to me performance-wise what they don't like about the job Biden has been doing? And if it mostly revolves around Gaza, I'm sorry but I'll take his handling of that over Trump's. But aside from "he's old" what is there? I'm genuinely asking.

It's already too late to run another democrat and we can't risk another Trump presidency. Acknowledging that he's old is fine, but there's really no need to harp on it. We know!
Biden was able to manage the transition away from Trump, but now he should retire for obvious reasons. Both him and Trump can no longer think straight.
@@joefilter2923 Pardon me, but that's a bizarre judgement to make about the most productive progressive president in modern history.
If he can't think straight, how does he get so much done?
Don't fret your tiny brain about what you think he can do, focus on WHAT HE'S ACTUALLY ACHIEVED.
It's not "what can a guy in his 80s accomplish,", is what has THIS MAN DONE?
Answer: a TON.
There is more Trump in Biden than in Trump himself.
@@itsROMPERS... Please be honest with yourself! Biden and Trump can no longer speak clearly, indicating they probably are not thinking clearly either. His policy on mass genocide is corrupt and embarrassing, showing that he’s slipping back into his old mode as a closet Republican. If he can’t bow out gracefully, he will be forever known as the man who destroyed democracy.
@lucaskamba5869 um, no.
I listen to you and your husband all the time. The Biden bashing is getting old. Fdr democrat here, Biden gave us more than we could have imagined.
Agreed. He's fucking up Palestine, but Trump would be doing worse.
There's no dilemma here as far as who to vote for.
Biden didn't deliver on many promises including public option health coverage. His infrastructure bill and chips act benefit big corps too
Have you bothered to listened to Sam at ALL? He talks about the same damn thing, having to hold people in power accountable is the keystone of democracy.
Biden bashing? Telling the truth about Biden is bashing him??
If you are a TRUE FDR Democrat then Biden is way too RIGHT WING. You would be pushing the "2nd Bill of Rights"
Lets not pretend Trump wouldn't cheer on whats happening in Gaza . Biden needs to go but wtf happens if trump gets back in

In any case, I've definitely noticed Krystal is moving further left in recent months.
Step aside for who though? Who can the dems go with at this late hour that can draw enough votes to win? I'm so sick of this Biden should step aside so Trump can win uncontested BS.
America is facilitating genocide in Palestine and in Ukraine. As a non American (with a shed load of American friends) I want what's best for America. Trump ain't it. Biden is the only option for you and for us Europeans. We want America to remain engaged. As a Brit I see my own country as responsible for the shit show in Palestine. We were in charge and gave up. We are neutral on Palestine in the UN and have even voted in favour of Palestine in recent years. Too little and way too late. Keep up the good work and thank you for helping me stay informed.
Need Emma & Krystal to create a show ASAP!

And he had Bernie on, which is one of the big reasons Krystal and Kyle both have some loyalty to him. But if you'd bothered to watch either of them in the last TWO YEARS, you'd have heard them be critical of Rogan when he's being clueless, like when he flirted with DeSantis as being a great nominee.
She just praises him because of Rogan’s reach. She’s a star f’er for attaching to his fame by kissing his ass.
And he had a friend, who was a teacher, that helped little furry children relieve themselves, at the back of the classroom. And he's an expert on covid. Joe's the best.

If embryos are children then give them a social security number and let parents claim them as dependents the fuck
It would make more sense to switch candidates if it wasn't for the proven 100% failure rate of doing that, so for now we're just going to gut our own candidate which sounds like a foolish idea.
Yeah, it really pisses me off that a bunch of leftists are so far up their own asses that they think they know better than literally every strategist on the Hill. When most of them have so little memory they think that a repeat of 2016 is the best thing to try now.

Remember everyone, we have to vote for Biden so we don't get trump
Yep, its rough, but thats life.
Is this sarcasm?
It's not sarcasm until more people use local elections to tear down barriers to 3rd party success. Or we have a population educated and organized and passionate enough to defeat establishment choices.
Pretending we don't currently have a binary choice for president is just using fantasy to avoid feeling guilt.
Face the horror.
@@UprisingConsulting - No. Biden is not great....but Trump is worse. Worse for Palestinians, and worse for America.
At this point, I'd go for Jon Stewart.
I believe he'd be a fantastic POTUS!!!
I think he'd be as effective as a president could be. I don't think he would get much done though. He doesn't have enough friends in Congress or in the business sector to leverage or coerce/convince to support his positions. He would have to test the limits of what is possible with executive orders, but those would only last as long as his presidency. I fear what would really happen is he would get close to nothing done, or worse, start trying to compromise with the oligarchs and falling for their optics trap. His supporters would grow frustrated, feel betrayed, and eventually all that support would transform into scorn because nobody would understand that the president's powers are actually very narrow and well defined and unless you can wheel and deal with the movers and shakers, or are willing to play very very dirty in a day and age where microphones and cameras are literally everywhere, you're going to end up a lame-duck.@@kellybrown9086
tl:dr Jon Stewart is an idealist with great ideas, but lacks the connections/shamelessness to be an effective leader.
The above being said, I think he would be an AMAZING member of Congress. He's charismatic, he knows how to talk to people without sounding condescending, and he is an idealist. While there, he could get to know how the system works from up close and communicate its strengths and flaws to America. He could network and make connections, support and sponsor bills, and eventually have the experience needed to be an effective POTUS. @@kellybrown9086
People who want to be president should be automatically discounted. If only we could organize a write in campaign to write in Jon Stewart.
@mercbeast6590 - I disagree. Bernie wanted to run and would've been the reset the country so desperately needed and still does.
He was defeated by Democrats and the DNC.

You dodged a bullet.
How long did I wait for Bernie? Fifty as a voter for me. Is it going to be another fifty before we have another hope for a future?
imagine believing we still have a future. It's all hopeless no matter how you look at it.

Bernie is weak af
You're assuming there is hope to have
We officially logged a 12 month period that was 1.5C above the preindustrial average this month. There is no hope for the future. But you wouldn’t know it with everyone so hyper focused on this ten mile long s**thole strip. The 2030s are gonna make Gaza look like the garden of Eden.
The fact that you can't see that both Biden and Trump supporting Israel means that that point is a draw frustrates me. My wife is trans, her safety and access to Healthcare is on the line this election. But you're willing to not vote for the only candidate that has a chance of protecting her and all trans kids and adults in our country.
lmfao biden literally weakened Title IX as a handout to transphobes Blue MAGA ignorance is bliss
Unfortunately, the Democrats haven't noticed that they've gone too far right as well. If everyone voted for the candidate who is most closely aligned with their beliefs, Jill Stein would win in 2024. We have a party of fascist and a party that would rather compromise with fascists than even be slightly left of center.
What a refreshing interview, listening to two people on the left not attack each other. Keep up the good work, ladies!
I would rather have a ham sandwich as President than Trump. It would be a bonus if the ham sandwich was a Democratic ham sandwich.
We cannot vote our personal feelings; we must vote for the future of the United States.
If I were to vote third party, I need to see other third parties step down & get behind ONE third party so we don't all waste pur vote. If third parties can't take one for the team, then they aren't serious about stopping genocide, or getting elected.
Third parties are going to get nowhere until they start running candidates at local, state and congressional levels, so they can actually influence policy and gain recognition. Notice that Trump ran with a major party, not third party, and would have gotten nowhere without a TV show that convinced a lot of the public that he was a different person than he is in reality. Candidates have to build recognition beyond a few thousand political geeks.
Wait I’m confused. Democrats had at least 26 other Democratic opponents to choose from other than Joe Biden during the Democratic presidential nominee race. They chose none of the other 26. The list includes Michael Bennet, Bill de Blasio, Cory Booker, Steve Bullock, Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro, John Delaney, Mike Gravel, Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar, John Hickenlooper, Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris, Jay Inslee, Wayne Messam, Beto O’Rourke, Tim Ryan, Bernie Sanders, Joe Sestak, Eric Swalwell, Elizabeth Warren, Marianne Williamson, Andrew Yang, Deval Patrick, Tom Steyer, and Michael Bloomberg. If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t Joe Biden 78 years old when he was inaugurated? Did democrats just wake up and figure this out? I believe Joe Biden was the second oldest candidate running in 2020. But now the talking heads are concerned about his age? If they were so concerned, there were at least 24 younger choices but democrats didn’t elect any of them. Why not? What’s the real problem here? No one brings up that fact Reagan experienced mental decline during his presidency that was hidden from the public. Reagan’s own son said he saw the signs of his father’s mental decline 3 years into his dad’s first term. Go back and watch the 1984 debate with Walter Mondale. So TMJR what is your real concern? I don’t think it’s Biden’s age. Let’s be truthful here. I watched the channel for some time because I thought you guys were part of a solution, but it seems like you guys are just an extension of the problem. I guess I’ll have to start searching for the solution elsewhere.

I lost a constitutional right during this past administration, their border package is was trump’s, I’m done with the dems, and I’m done with pretending like this is a democracy.
What right did you lose?
Also, id agree with you, but trump will A) help completely level Palestinians. If you think he's better then Joe on that issue you are dead wrong, and B) trump will go fascist. And you're right, we're not a Democracy, we are a federation. I believe in full democracy, and trump is the biggest threat. He def won't go more democratic, and a federation is a hell of a lot closer to a democracy. And we already have a federation, not like the "libs" did that
Also the right DENIED the border deal. Dems reached across the isle, using a trump idea, and the Right denied it out of spite. They actively want our country to get worse to justify fascism. It's so much worse.
