Love the podcast generally but Jeffries was a disappointment. Any question that was asked was sidestepped. Where are the strategies & plans?? “we need to push back” is not a party platform. We are facing a tsunami and the democrats are throwing us a tea towel and running in the opposite direction.
The Democrats are expecting the courts to stop Trump. What happens when they ignore the courts' orders? Even if the Supreme Court somehow sided with the people of America, against these greedy sociopaths, by the time they did it will be too late. The damage done beyond repair.
Simply vote no on the budget it won’t pass govt shuts down gop has majority so they get blamed - demand musk is removed from doge incels are fired. Dems access to all servers databases buildings and court orders are enforced.
What a difference to Jon's recent conversation with AOC!
And as Chris Christie implied, Jeffries is more effective for the Dems than Schumer ... but not much.
When will the Dems finally learn that their "old guard" should join Biden on his ride into the sunset?
💯. The Dems have lost everything: the Supreme Court, the Presidency, the Senate and the House. Pelosi, Schumer & the old guard should make room for a bolder generation. Their principled messages: constitutional crisis, democracy under attack, Trump is a fascist, did not resonate with the crowds.
If you’re waiting for the Dems to sack up and save democracy you came to the wrong party. They had McConnell taking SJ’s from Obama, and still do nothing but whine. If we’re gonna loose with Dems it’s time to support Independents. At least we can go down fighting.
Excellent to see you here Jon!
If you could use your massive influence and audience to get the messages out about the grassroot movements happening in this community, that would be amazing!
Example:
-Presidents Day protests every state Capitol Feb. 17th Noon.
Republicans and esp Trump use fear mongering as a tactic, and it seems to be a greater motivator than the Dems message of Hope (not saying Dems should go there) but messaging needs to change
Dems still elect leaders like it is 2008.
Mitch McConnell wrote the book on how to tie up the President's agenda while being in the minority so nothing gets passed, so use that on them.
I am just wondering: if Elon's superpower is money, why not nullify it? Pass campaign finance reform to limit the amount of total donations a candidate can receive (and make those donations public).
Jeffries is not the leader we need right now. He talk in platitudes and soundbite instead of concrete plans. Keeping him in charge is a recipe for continued election loses.
Ask him, or monologue it in a show, WHY the Pentagon and State Department are failing to protect us from enemies "and domestic" ??? Did they forget the Domestic part of their oath?????
Imma be honest, I felt like Jon was lobbing soft balls this whole interview and somehow Jeffries still came off as an institutional democrat with pretty words but no real substance.
He’s a coward who threw up his hands and said “they control all three branches, what can we do!” Get rid of the cowardly feckless Vichy Democrats! We need fighters! Put AOC in charge, the Squad, all of them but enough with do nothing Jeffries and Schumer.
Great interview but a bit of my insight; Jillian had validated something I felt during interview which was the Dems are side stepping their own toxic past. We preach on exposing the truth on how our nation wronged the black community, native, women, etc but side step our own failings⤵️
The reason why people like Donald and Musk were once Dems was big business played into the pockets of our party. There’s this elusiveness to our own history and how we strayed from the FDR vision which was preached during the interview.
That lack of self awareness will doom us moving forward ⤵️
You asked for specifics and got nothing. Jeffries, stop the 'what the American people want' talk. We need a concrete DEM plan. People chose Trump in November because we focused on... joy? Give me a break.
Trump lost the popular vote and voter suppression helped get him over the line. If the conservatives have such great policies, why do they need to they need to suppress the vote (and Gerrymander, and not give Territories electoral votes, etc.) ?
Jon failed this interview, so frustrating. Jeffries is horrible, he’s just Nancy Pelosi in a black man suit. We cannot win by cozying up to billionaires, they are mentally ill demons who will not help us.
@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social Jon, i have watched you since the 80s, but i gotta say lately you've been off the mark. Too soft on all the wrong ppl, and lack of background prep shows. LFG... get your bad self back and go get'em!

And the bullies in your past life probably love him today.

Loved his insight but it still feels the party’s identity is fractured and yall trying to hold onto a long dead and ineffective view and tactic.
