Journalist Joan Esposito joins Edwin Eisendrath to discuss why internal GOP chaos and international shifts make the 2026 midterms a do-or-die moment for protecting American democracy.
with today's illegal and unconstitutional military action in Venezuela, MAGA WILL BE SEEKING A RESURGENCE, thanks not to trump but to Stevie Goebbels Miller.
Since the December 2024, I have not been able to sleep well because the country I was born in, the great US, is no longer beginning during the Reagan administration with its removal of the Fairness Doctrine for media due to cronyism with Murdoch, the unbalanced SCOTUS of conservatives rather than moderates, a democratic party which has sat back even during the Obama administration thinking that all the citizens want is universal health care and a free ride through the education system from K through Ph.d/MD.
wrong wrong wrong -- what the US citizens want is what our Constitution demands BALANCE OF POWERS, RESPECT FOR ALL REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, and added in the 1960's age, disability, gender. the democratic party thought they would repeat their narrow electoral success of 2012 by baiting the tea party now MAGA as well as the hard working Americans but they miscalculated the influence and brainwashing of conservative media via tv, cable, radio, print, podcast AND THE BIGGIE SOCIAL MEDIA MISINFORATION AND DISINFORMATION.
The pundits of the democratic party haven't really a clue as to how to return our beloved once great country to being a constitutional democratic republic as it was founded 250 years ago.
If Venezuela though Maduro was evil and Satan, please don't think the US will be any better as it sells out Venezuela to US and Arab oil companies.
The Monroe Doctrine, declared by U.S. President James Monroe in 1823, was a foundational US foreign policy stating the Western Hemisphere was closed to new European colonization and interference, establishing separate spheres of influence for the Americas and Europe In return the US stated it would not interfere with European affairs
So Cheeto is employing the Doctrine to not interfere with Ukraine which Putin loves but deal with dictatorships in the Western hemisphere for purposes of securing the lucrative Venezualan oil field Much like the tariffs which was an 1890’s endeavor which brought great prosperity to the “robber barons” leaving the rest of Americans destitute, using the Doctrine as an excuse to take over another country for its rich resources is the point WE the People remember his campaign promise to stay out of foreign conflicts is yet another lie he used to get elected and stay out of jail
King Cheeto wants to take the US back to the past where excessive wealth for now billionaires of today paves the way for power mongering in other countries’ political affairs and destabilizing them like Bush did to Iraq This will not end well either for us or King Cheeto
As to the people/ children who have lost a family member, we should institute a policy of meaningful restitution- counseling services as needed, plus educational grants (college or vocational), etc. Things involving money, but not just money: a system of help to rebuild as much as possible. The US obviously has the money for it. How much have we just spent attacking Venezuela?
Why isn't ANYONE addressing the fact that this MAGA-GQP-PROJECT 2025/26-WHITE NATIONALIST-NEO NAZI party has no intentions of allowing a free and fair election, let alone certifying one. They will cheat and lie, and are already laying out the blueprint and groundwork to do so.
Aside from the obvious attempts to take over states' voter rolls and voters' data, have you ever wondered WHY the "administration" has banned states from regulating AI? It's because the software is so effective that it can and will be used to create fake ads, false statements, and fear-mongering, all to deceive the American people. And most people who aren't paying attention or are members of the MAGA cult will believe it. I WANT TO HEAR A PLAN TO FIGHT THIS AND NOT JUST AN ANALYSIS OF THE OBVIOUS!!
To Joan's early comment, that we're awake now. YES!
This afternoon there were two separate pop-up demonstrations in Charlottesville about the Trump war. local activist have worked out a system of banners with interchangeable letters and today three banners were deployed with three different messages. That's all on a couple of hours of notice.
Some interviews show MAGA ignoring the break in the campaign promise, and instead celebrating the show of strength.
Fer chrissake, of course kidnapping Maduro and spouse without even warning Congress should be easy for our military!! That’s not the point. We all too easily broke it. Now how are we going to fix it? How much worse is this going to get? How long are we going to end up stuck there?
Boy, those Epstein files must contain really bad things about the Prez. We’ve got 24/7 coverage of Venezuela.

I listened to Lev Remembers , with, Zev and others the prime minister of Canada 🇨🇦 is doing his job on this front.
I do think it should definitely be, a solemn day. Those 1500 hundred were not hostages. Police officers lost their lives.
Thank for this conversation, Mr. Eisendrath, and Miss Joan. I will tune 🎵 into Heartland Radio just to listen.
MAGA might be but trump and his oligarchs don't need them anymore
King Cheeto Exercising The Monroe Doctrine
The Monroe Doctrine, declared by U.S. President James Monroe in 1823, was a foundational US foreign policy stating the Western Hemisphere was closed to new European colonization and interference, establishing separate spheres of influence for the Americas and Europe In return the US stated it would not interfere with European affairs

It's been renamed-- now it's the Donroe Doctrine.

It would be interesting to know what the MAGATs think about his illegal war.
Some interviews show MAGA ignoring the break in the campaign promise, and instead celebrating the show of strength.

They would have to be the dumbest of the dumb for the penny not to have dropped by now.
Well let's just say they're hard of hearing and pennies aren't that loud.
Yes I probably being unkind, they are brainwashed for sure, so will be very difficult for them to hear or see anything beyond their God Trump.
