Rep. Raskin’s Democracy Summer: jamieraskin.com/DemocracySummer
I admire Rep. Raskin-a smart, thoughtful man who believes in democracy. Thank you, Sir. 💙🧘🏼♂️
He is a future president and has my vote, we need him
True Heroes in America! Thank you both!
I am so disappointed in this supreme court.
As am I. SCOTUS really better start to follow the constitution, not be biased toward Trump. If he gets in, he'll make himself dictator and then he won't need a SCOTUS. They will be out in the street. Trump himself said he would be a dictator.
They were for the most part appointed by Trump. They feel like they can't bite off the hands that " feed them"( kind of silly if you ask me they work for the people or should)
I remain disappointed innthenso called Supreme court.
Cry me a river Liberal basement dweller!
I think they were paid off
They should be investigated
Two dynamite beacons for democracy. What a dream team!!!😊
I really like Jamie Raskin... I appreciate his work for democracy... his careful thought... his care for America...his wicked sense of humor.
A credit to his district!
I looked it up, Maryland's 8th

We need a Democracy Summer for ADULTS!
Trump "is" a bobble head!!!
Again, we must vote BLUE for democracy!!!
If Hitler ever became a good painter, we would never have heard of him!!!
Why on earth is 45 not in prison? He is the worst of the worst. I am so sick of justice tip toeing around 45.
Justice is slowly hitting him where it hurts. Almost half a Billion in fines and legal expenses. 😂
Yes, and there’s prejudgment interest which is about $10 million in the Carrol case and about another $150 million in the NY civil fraud trial. So we’re over a half a billion and are approaching 600 million!
So , Justice is served on a silver platter to the man who won’t be king.
I appreciate the sentiment, but getting rid of Trump will Not fix the problem of republican neo-fascist Putin-loving extremists that were there, Before Trump came along. They will look at Trump prosecution as a call to arms, so delays in his prosecution are actually good for the country, democracy, and the rule of law, so the case will be beyond any reasonable doubt.
Because Democrats have no focus
Because our justice systems check, enforcement and "discretion" mechanisms are corrupted into a broken position.
Thank you to you both! I just voted today in my primary from abroad (getting the signature right was tough on computer) but so thankful that you are fighting for my right to do so! Deeply grateful to you both!!
Thank you BOTH, for guarding over our Democracy!
Thank you from the UK to you, the wonderfully articulate Rep. Jamie Raskin and everyone in the US who is prepared to put their hearts into protecting democracy, truthfulness and sanity!
Thank you for your kind words of support ❤
We value our alies❤️
goodness gracious !

Thank You, Marc!!! Jamie Raskin! You are The Best!!!💙💙💙💙💙🦩✨✨✨✨✨
excellent discussion
He da best liar in Congress, bro tard.
Jamie got what the Dutch call strijdlust meaning the willingness to engage and go to the heart of the fight, we need him, thank Jamie
Thank you for sharing that. What a cool word. I'm going to write that one down.
Very interesting!!!😎
Hooray for that thought and to the Dutch. All of my respect. People in America don't realize how much the Dutch contributed to our democracy at our founding. But I do.
Great word. May give one of my other favorite words, Schadenfreud (the perfect word for Trump’s current money bleeding state), a run for its money.

Thank You for all the work you do for "We the People"
You Gentlemen are Appreciated!
Thank you for your work. Enjoyed watching your interview with the honorable Jamie Raskin from across your northern border. 🇨🇦
It makes me very happy that Representative Raskin is still teaching. Teaching other places than in the House, that is, though that is vitally important. 😁
I'm reading Democracy Awakening, and I'm amazed we've made it this far. It's apparent to me that we have made it because of people like you two. Thank you.
“When everything looks hopeless, you’re the hope” - what a great quote
When people warn you about the very thing you have voted against....its fear mongering...stop listening!!!!!

We will! The humane BLUE PARTY! The BEST FOREVER!! 💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊!
🤣We know it's why he's leading the polls @Trump24🦅🇺🇲
All the Democrats, you mean??
Jamie Raskin does not represent the people. There is not one benefit for the working class in the State of Maryland that has Raskins name on it. He instead would rather fund illegal immigrants, than help homeless American Vets, and he is a contributor to 58 years of failed entitlement in inner cities and minority counties. He is one of the liberal elite that want to keep the Black man on the DemoRAT plantation. He and his party are doing the same to the Latino community.
I have the highest respect for Congressman Raskin. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for him each morning to get going knowing the banal bullsh*it he will face from the MAGA nutsjobs.
Great show. I just love Jamie Raskin. He would make a GREAT president.
Not.
I thought the same thing about Raskin a few weeks ago. He would make a great president.
😂🤣😂🤦🏽♂️🥴🤡
The two greatest US constitutional experts in a gentle conversation about it ❤
Refreshing ❤❤❤
We need to confirm that no one is above the law and send a message to the rest of the world that democracy is worth fighting for 🤔🇺🇸👁️💙
Other Countries are a mile ahead of us, many has already put criminal presidents in prison.
Absolutely 💯💯💯💯
We need Jamie Raskin for POTUS in 2028! Unless Joe steps aside, then Raskin 2024!
Totally agree!
Omg wouldn't that be nice?! I wouldn't be so fearful of losing the election to Trump if that were the case.
lol. I like the way you plan for contingencies. 👍
Yes
You are both heroes for democracy
He needs to run for President in the future 😊
Absolutely!!
Absolutely 😊🇺🇸
He's got my vote.
Imagine we had more politicians world wide this coherent.
I’d vote for him.
Great discussion. Jamie Rasken is such a great person. He's right. We have to believe our fight for democracy will be victorious
IMO, the SC punted this issue. That said, this episode is excellent - thank you Marc and Rep. Raskin!
Wow, Marc Elias and Jamie Raskin together. Must watch!!! Thank you both!😊
Rankin is a hero and an inspiration.
Raskin. I agree.
😂🤣😂🤦🏽♂️🥴🤡
Thank you, Marc and Rep. Raskin for all of your leadership, courage, and expertise. I feel encouraged! I live in NC, and I was a poll greeter yesterday for the Wake County Dems for the start of Primary early voting. So many people approached us for information on Democratic candidates, and also to volunteer with our efforts. Hardly any people stopped at the Republican booth. We are also fortunate to have a talented young person, Anderson Clayton, as the North Carolina Democratic Chairperson. She is a dynamo and is working around the clock, county by county, especially college campuses to build up voter turnout. I have HOPE!
Thank you for your comments. I moved from NC (Chapel Hill) to upstate NY in September of 2016 and felt so guilty for taking my Democratic vote to a state that, I thought, didn't need it. As it turns out, even here in NY, I am surrounded by Trump supporters and right-wing MAGA conspiracy theorists, so I feel like my vote matters - especially in local and primary elections. Thank you as well for the work you do for Wake County, our dear neighbors 😊🙏🕊🫶⚖️🗽🇺🇸
Yay!!! Thanks for the great news!
Blue birds, blue skies, blue haze, blue waves- Vote blue and be true! Happy days !😃
Thank You both very much for everything you do to defend democracy!
I wish Jamie Raskin would run for president.
Perhaps in 2028 he will
JOKE OF the day
Say good night, Gracie! 😄
I agreed with you Gracie but not only Raskin there's 2 or 3 more and let's be honest Biden is running out of gas, after two virus, one insurrection a divide country word wide inflation at least a B he deserve. Drump is nothing but a wana be Dictator, open your eyes America. Love from Borinquen.
Latrine president!
Jamie is my Hero!!
Jamie Raskin for President!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
An example of how dictators treat opposition just occurred to Mr Navalny in Russian. Vote every MAGA obstructionist out of OUR government.
Will do!!!
A must , Dangerous
Will do
😂😂😂😂 yeah I hate how he mandated shots how he tells us that we can’t use our gas stove that we can’t drive gas cars but if we don’t vote for him we’re not black. Oh wait sorry that was Biden the dictator.

Thank you Mr. Raskin for your service. 🫶🏼
What nonsense 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The service of lying compulsively
Vote BLUE all the way
TRUMP is winning widely..... Biden can't put 2 words together unless he is drugged....
The whole country is RED..... Everyone is voting for our honorable president TRUMP

LOVE Jamie Raskin!
Thank you both!
Its become beyond ridiculous the justice system allows these frivolous appeals to continue
Everything that's happening concerning maga and Trump in our justice system is ridiculous! If any other American were to threaten court staff & witnesses or talk about the case publicly as a criminal defendant the way that Trump does, they would be immediately locked up! Not to mention that anyone else would probably be locked up and denied bail on the first place. I really hate how all of these judges seem afraid to hold Trump accountable and treat him like they would anybody else! Giving him special treatment is just emboldens him further, Trump feels like he's above the rules because he has been for a long time.
as the wheels of justice grinds oh,so slowly
Maybe because he’s not guilty of any of it and no I’m not a Trumper I’m an independent voter, but the Democrats we have in office now suck
@@joycemanning9755 reality bites 🫦
@@joycemanning9755wow, educate yourself! President Biden has. Long list of accomplishments in case you don’t know! Republicans Party is no more, it belongs to a criminal, Liar, sexual abuser, impeached insurrection fomenter! Read Project 2025! It terrifies!
THANK YOU Marc and Rep Raskin for such an uplifting and encouraging presentation!
I love jamie raskin, he is brilliant
I love you Jamie Raskin!! You rock!!

Usually Mr. Elias is authorative and sure of himself, when discussing law with, for example, Brian Taylor Cohen!
Here he is almost tentative and dutifully sets up Rep. Raskin to explain law.
That just shows how highly he values the expertise and opinion of his guest!
Being an interviewer and being the interviewed are two very different roles. Thanks for pointing out that Mark is very skilled in both, just as Jamie is.
Great, wonderful. The articulate, intelligent Jamie Raskin is one of my favorite human beings. Marc Elias is a hero. Love these guys.
Is there no law that enables the DOJ to charge Trump for violating the emoluments clause? Is such a law necessary? Surely the constitution is, by default, a type of law or equivalent in heft to law?
Jamie is leading fight to convict him on the Emoluments Clause.
@@MrBENTON78 Really? Can we also get Jared for receiving $2B from MBS after negotiating with Saudi Arabia as a representative of Trump?
Merrick Garland could charge Trump for violating the emoluments clause! Biden needs to replace him ASAP because he has failed pretty miserably when it comes to prosecuting Trump for his crimes. Him waiting years to do anything until it was clear that he was running for president again only gave the right more ammunition - it's more plausible to claim that it's simply a political prosecution! It kind of is, if Trump had just gone away, I believe that they wouldn't have prosecuted him. What MAGA doesn't understand is even if it is politically motivated, he's still GUILTY as hell! Those in power, like Garland, just get very uncomfortable when it comes to holding fellow elites accountable. He didn't want to have to go after Trump but by running again - he forced his hand. We all predicted that he was going to run again so he should have done it immediately! I am so sick of watching these politicians and people in the justice system continue to make these shortsighted mistakes that just embolden Trump in the right even further!
@@cindymaceda2999 I hope so. And Ivanka too for her Patents.
You two give the American people hope and spur us on to fight, not just now but for the rest of our lives, for democracy! Thank You! A woman from WI who has seen our rights as citizens eroded by gerrymandered maps. Step by step we will overcome!
@darkmoneyinwi I agree w you, Wis has too many dirty crooks like Ron Johnson (who carried fake electors' slates to DC) and any Republican who pushed for crooked gerrymandered voting districts. MAGAtts gotta get the hell out (and out of the way) and let someone else to actually do the job
Amen, fellow Wisconsinite.
I WISH he'd run for president!!! He's everything Trump isn't. Knowledgeable, intelligent, and understanding as to what this country stands for.
Congrats to northern neighboring WS-ianson Gov. Tony Evers signing of new legislative maps! KUDOS!
Two of my heroes!
Thank you Marc thank you.
Fyi - his name is spelled *Marc*
Thank you both for your leadership! 🎉

We cannot let Drumpf within a thousand miles of the WH ... he will open the door for Putin and our entire 'allbeit broken' system will collapse. Go visit a former USSR country and tell me how well that went!

Every highschool college student should watch this..
Agree. And every HS student, too😊
Today's college students aren't as intelligent as high school students 20 years ago. Liberals are making great strides in dumbing down America.
Why? To see more fabrication & indoctrination?
How can we learn more about the class Rep Raskin will be teaching? I’m geeking out over it! He’s one of the best!
Two heroes.
The default is VOTE💙🇺🇸

TRUMP the best president, the legitimate president to drain the swamp😂😂😂
Jamie Raskin is a rock star! I wish we had a representative like him here! I have the sweatshirt! 😊
Interesting high level discussion. We have witnessed how liberal democracy can be destroyed in other countries. Now, alas, we face a similar challenge in the United States spearheaded by Donald Trump. I would add to Jamie Raskin's definition of "fascism" extreme nationalism (ex. Nazi Germany) or theocracy (ex. Islamic Republic of Iran).
UPDATE and create AMENDMENTS on all items that ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS (PRESIDENT included) including VOTING RIGHTS.
Thanks, Marc and Jamie 😊❤.
I love this! ❤ Rep. Raskin. People do not understand the establishment of government, foundational, historically, how government stands as a mediator. We need a basic understanding that government cannot effectively be run “as a business” because this is a conflict of human rights interests.
Admittedly, I am not a constitutional scholar, but I have been taught American history by some really amazing teachers in both in public school and in university. The electoral college was created in good faith by the framers, but it no longer has a place in our modern democratic system of government. The popular vote should be the determining factor for a candidate to win an election, period. The most votes wins. The electoral college ends up stripping the power of some voters and giving more power to others arbitrarily. I support legislation to abolish the electoral college!
Yes, the suspension of critical thinking is exactly what is going on! Thank you, Mr. Rasking, for mentioning this!
TRUMP 2024
The fact that Greene, Boebert, Gaetz and that ilk are in the same position as this brilliant man sickens me to no end.
Like how did that even happen, right?😮
Yes! Sickening that the moron cult reps you mentioned are equal in voting power to someone as smart as Jamie Raskin. Maybe Ben Franklin anticipated that the idea of the people choosing would inevitably allow the people to vote for idiots as well as leaders.
He runs circles around them mentally! 😉😆👏🙌
Aren't they all Congress people? Not that it really matters but I feel like being in the Senate is a little bit more prestigious than being in Congress.
The three of them and a few others don't hold a candle to Jamie Raskin. They are the equivalent of toddlers trying to have a conversation with a college professor. In plain English, they're dopes.
Democracy Summer, what a great thing. I will post and encourage students to join!! Thank you to both of you. Rep. Raskin, you are so awesome. Both of you are.
This is a great listen for me today, thank-you! It has been my belief that, no matter how bad we (Americans) may have neglected our political health, we can, through cross party networking, revive hope for Democracy.❤ Let's start now and make it happen. 👣
Thank you, Mark and Jamie, for this podcast and your tireless work!
!
Thank you Rep. Raskin! We can no longer rely of a President, a Senator, or a Representative being honest or honorable. We do need new laws and/or policies that prohibit this type of lawless behavior.
Thank you, Marc!!! Your interview of Representative Raskin was wonderful!!! I wish I was 50 years younger and could participate in his Democracy Summer!!!
Me too
They exiled Napoleon for a reason.
Just get Trump the hell outta here…

Send him to Russia to stay!

Jamie may have to ask Biden if he should run this year. There's a slight chance that Trump could get elected, then he would make himself President for life. Jamie should not wait until 2028.
Thank you for this wonderful interview.
Enjoyable and educational. Thanks Marc.

The aid to Ukraine is our (US) cost of Freedom and keeping our Democracy. Vote Blue!💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
How does the lack of aid to Ukraine effect the treaty we have with Ukraine?? Will this also effect the security with NATO??
The aid to Ukraine is weapons. We send them weapons we already have, but then need money to replace our supplies. They are made in US. If we don't have money to replace, then we don't want to shorten our supply. Make sense? Other countries in NATO are doing the same. But, North Korea is supplying Russia. I don't know if China or anyone else is.
I don't know if this will effect the security w/ NATO, but if you saw a country whose ex President was still in control of their Congress & their honor is w/ Russia & they're not removing them from power & arresting them for espionage how would you feel about that country?
I have a feeling the US doesn't look too good right now & since judges aren't willing to arrest tRump, until he's arrested, that opinion isn't going to improve. 💙🙀😾💙
