Rachel Maddow in Conversation with Kathleen Belew [CC]

God bless you Rachel! We need you be stay well and always maintain who you are! A very special friend of America!

She amazing!
Always learn something from hearing her.

Its the russiagate lady

What Maddow does not recognize is the effect of The Telecommunications Act and the eliminating the Fairness Doctrines has put all news agencies in the hands of the billionaires and has little desire to expose the problems created by our oligarchy.

why can't Maddow recognize the anti-democratic movements are often due to extreme inequalities? The income inequality, as well as the political power inequality, has many of the low and middle income families doing the right thing and still not doing well....listen to a demagogue...We also have the billionaires who are trying to end the democracy as we know it...the Heritage Foundation Project 2025..is tied into the libertarian goals....

Love the chore wheel comparison

CALLING ALL JEWS, MARIANNE WILLIAMSON FOR PRESIDENT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Rachael said virus stop at the vaccinated people, is it true ?

Carol Swain fails to distinguish between southern pro-slavery Democrats and northern abolitionist Democrats. Her analyses is a bit superficial.

Had to laugh at her big nothing burger about trumps tax returns lol

Why do crazy lefties all look like racheal maddow lol

Needing to know origin stories = the basic requirement for being a family historian. Or any kind of historian. Hugs

"widen your intellectual stance..." I like that.

None better !

Its a pleasure to have a Camera person that came for the Job and knows what that Job is, TKX.

If you do not educate or allow schools and colleges, universities to educate individuals, you can misinterpret all of history to convince people,nothing ever happened because they never heard or learned about it. Slavery, nazism, trumpism

We would have had a crazy hostage crisis on our hands if they got to some of the congressperson's. I'd like to think the military or national guard would have gone in and eventually ended it and not just went along with it. If it happened, Trump should be arrested and Joe Biden sworn in immediately. Then we'd possibly have a bunch of assassinated congress people, and have to work on all that after getting the hostage situation ended. They had zip ties for the purpose of tying them up. They had a gallows for the purpose of hanging them. A guy had a 950,000 volt taser. They had combat gear on. They weren't going there to ask "Will you just pretend our lord and savior Donald Trump won, please?!"

Very good; thank you.!

Reading her books are like having her speak personally to you about topics that truly matter. Prequel is eye opening!

I have so much respect for you, Rachel Maddow. Thank you.

Such a wonderful conversation. Plus, I need those chairs :)

Rachel Maddow is a sharp social commentator and an interesting modern historian dealing in facts and evidence and reasoned inferences. With an easy comfortable style and a sense of humour. Maddow is able to comment on observable facts and interpret them accurately and in context. A keen observer of the human condition and an educator. If she presents an argument or hypothesis it is professionally constructed and powerful and influential, this is a true “social media influencer” at work. Nice work Rachel.

An open letter to the planet. I cannot speak for the people who deny that the Holocaust that occurred because of Hitler happened. That makes no sense to me. I can however express how I feel about calling it the “Jewish” Holocaust and claiming it is the only one. (I personally grew up thinking it was called the Jewish Holocaust because of Hitler’s Jewish ancestry. That knowledge had not been scrubbed from real time yet. Still a very gross way of describing it, in my thought.) I am not Jewish. I have had lovers, friends, gay mentors (Daddies), and been housed and fed and fed people who are Jewish. I have also loved and been loved by Palestinians, who have fed me, housed me, taught me how to cook and ate the food I cooked for them. These are the things that I find sacred. People like me, and you, Rachel Maddow, were rounded up and killed in that one of them also. I was also taught in school that something like a quarter of a billion people were killed by authoritarians in the century surrounding that one of them. To claim that these hideous deaths were not also a holocaust is grotesque. To claim that we are appalled by the increase in anti-semitism without trying to understand what might cause it is also a bit of a flim-flam is you ask me. How does one heal without knowing why one needs to?

You know, there is just something very quiet, at most, about the underlying trauma of knowing that our ancestors were taken over by the outpouring of a Hebrew death/slaver cult, led figuratively by a Hebrew/Jewish prince, everything otherwise erased, a gift that keeps giving, and then were always blamed for being against who again for noticing it? I don’t hate anyone because they speak Hebrew or not, even if their ancestors did, or didn’t. And thanks to its ‘offer’ Abraham is far larger than those who still claim to boast of being its ancient prerogative “chosen”. (To be what? Responsible? The stories Abraham tells god are killing us! (My concept of us includes them, by the way!) People keep agreeing to those stories! I have been told my whole life that a Hebrew Prince had the power to do what again against me forever if I don’t get along with someone else’s idea of him? To damn and perpetually defile me. Forever. But shame on me for finding that offensive.? I know how to get along with men in the wilderness. Excentricus Caelestis. Grow up. Love matters, healing matters, healthcare building matters, access matters, dignity matters.

Who again are any of us to be surprised that gardening and partying in such recently/still occupied territories may be rather not as beneficial to one’s self interest as many have been told? Especially when for some reason the funding and access seam traceable back to the ones assaulted? Billions and billions of dollars in bombing runs after but a year advanced notice before, and an entire populace required to do military service couldn’t stop it? Eight hours for the police to respond? This is pure cognitive dissonance. That the media, academic’s and the elite still benefiting from their ancestors vast slaver wealth don’t know these things is where people feel depth about this, this is where people get pissed. The sheer difference in wealth and access and offer within such a small place is traumatic. The defile back ten to a hundred fold as a response to apparently, self-funded, defiling, is true terror also. It always has been. Can you see this? A place and need for Abraham to practice better for us? Or is one just one’s tribe? The method of the “Supremacist” and the “Chosen” and “The Last Thought Needed” folk consuming each other, forever, really doesn’t healthy care build either does it. It never did. Tell God different and better stories please. The god those stories teach of would never be able to tell whether its own experiences matter. It’s own doings. Would only ever be other. What boundary structure would its own health sense have to know to maintain anything that matters to life or the living, or the dead for that matter? To their dignity. To how to worth it worthwhile with worthy methods the stoping of what would stop such as their dignity. To not defile back. To invest in hospitals not bomb them. To not equate the 50,000 plus people with crushed limbs as something other than the holocaust it is.

Dear planet you need a reality check. If you choose to look at Christians and Jews and Muslims as children of Abraham you will then notice the way Abraham treats its children. If you understand the Truth though you will know that All humans are a child of here. This planet, this place. Build healthcare, foster liberty through construct that create buy in to Democracy and offering back benefit to benefit what brings benefit, vote for people who build healthy care, don’t get in the way of someone else’s health or care. Rethink your morality set if it does not include this set explicitly.

Money in politics is a boundary to truth , justice and the prosperity in a fair and equitable society.🧐👍🏼

Rachel talking about the prehistory that is one of the best things about your show, is that you go back into the “how we got here” it is so important for context don’t ever stop doing it! That is your signature and it is so helpful for everyone!

Rachel your comments about reaching out to neighbors are awesome! I can tell you from down here in Texas when the hurricanes come politics goes out the window!

AI crap is going to kill us if we don’t get a handle on it and the lies it will spew

Great comments about the veracity of sources! We need to validate sources with encryption that is provable! AI fake crap is about to flood the world! This means we have to get a clue about how encryption works so we know the sources are real! It’s not that hard but it is mathematical. We can do it but we have to start. When people first got on the Internet they did not know how important passwords were. Now they do. We can extend that to every grandma and housewife on the Internet to understand what is a real news source or not through encryption! This is extremely important! We have to know who the trusted sources are! The major Internet companies should take the lead in this!

The host was excellent here! Please take my previous comments as only constructive criticism!

Let me definitely tell you all the Nazi party is alive and well here in America! I have seen it and I know it is a real threat! Make no mistake!

Yes we need to vote members of Congress out who are insurrectionist! They are doing the bidding of our enemies!

The defendants are political hackers of the justice system! They must be stopped! We will not put up with this BS!

For the tone of voice from the questioner, please think of Madeleine Albright, or Margaret Thatcher, serious stateswomen who used their voice in a deeper tone to convey seriousness. I really love what you’re saying but not the way you say it; it undermines your point. Please view this as constructive criticism because I really mean it that way and I appreciate everything you do.

This subject is very important! Please understand it does not help when the questioner sounds like a dippy valley girl or a surfer girl in her voice timber! The way the tone of voice comes across to the listener is very important! Please correct this!

I remember it was the second or third year of the trump administration before Network pundits started calling Trump‘s lies actual lies! It took that long! Even though he lied every day! If only we had called it out earlier! Call out lies now! Don’t use the words “misinformation” or “disinformation“ it is slowing everything down! And we’re losing people! Call lies “lies“! Let’s get on with it!

If the message is to get across to the hard-working but ignorant people listening to right wing radio every day, quit saying “disinformation“ or “misinformation“ when you can just say the one syllable word “lies”! Pease understand the extra four syllables loses the point among hard-working but ignorant people! We are educated enough to understand the long syllables but the majority of Americans are not! Call lies as lies! It is so much more effective and we have to work on this in our messaging! We’re missing the forest for the trees if we don’t!

“The shock doctrine“ is an excellent book by Naomi Klein exposing the power-hungry opportunists who use hurricanes and other natural disasters for power grabs! We have to expose this!

We need to focus on the power-grabbing BS exposed in “we need a strong man to protect us from the evil“! Don’t gloss over it! That’s what it’s all about, the sudden reach for power! The politics and scapegoating is just an excuse for the power grab!

We have to find education and critical thinking! It is crucial!

It’s easy to trash immigrants because they have no political power! How convenient is that

Yeah “that evil “seems to currently be immigrants who will pick vegetables that Americans won’t!

Rachel you are awesome our country needs you so much! From down here in Texas!

In my 82yrs I’ve never seen it so bad. We used to put bumper stickers on our car to promote the candidate of our choice. NOT ANY MORE‼️ unless u want you tires flattened . Ppl don’t put signs in their yards cuz the deplorables will damage your property. This is not the America I love😢

Got the book! I’m looking forward to reading it. It’s too bad the ppl that ‘should’ read it won’t 🙈🙉📚📚📚📚

Stop the commies!

Rachel is a treasure for America….👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Racheal is way above her time. She is worth listening to.
