#MeetThePress #FullBroadcast #MTP

I agree wholeheartedly that the culture war is a losing issue for Democrats given what many blacks perceive as extreme views being promoted by many dominant figures in the Democratic party. In the 2022 midterm elections I predict that we will continue to see less than optimal turnout among blacks for Democratic candidates in general.
I always enjoy Meet The Press. But, I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed Kristen hosting today's program. She was rapid fire with well thought out questions and follow ups. She was not rude (even when she did cut off a few responses). If I had to vote between her and Chuck Todd to host MTP in the future, she would get my vote.
this host is like a bully
Isn't WAR the crime? War crimes is a bit redundant.
We will starve the US before we stop giving more money to the military!!!!
Lying liars lie
The filthy Republican Party criminals in the US Senate are blocking every confirmation vote for every major agency and department in the government and they have been doing this for almost 15 months since Biden was sworn in.
The traitorous criminal Republican Party is determined to undermine and destroy our form of government in every conceivable way, because they are domestic enemies who demand that we throw out the constitution and be ruled by a dictator and his gang of criminals.
These sniveling little rats think they are in the capitol for playtime fun and collecting bribes.
Understand this: Blunt has said that there were not enough votes in the Senate, EVER to convict Trump for inciting an insurrection. We need to KICK every single Republican out of office.
These backstabbing traitors are compulsive criminals.
The constitution says that punishment for a president convicted by the Senate shall not extend beyond removal from office AND DISQUALIFICATION from holding office.
Blunt, McConnell, all of these LIARS claiming there was no other purpose for a trial in the Senate, KNOW BETTER. They know very well that convicting Trump would mean that he could be sentenced to be disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit in the USA.
(That would mean he couldn't hold any corporate office either)
It's true that the Senate does not hold criminal trials, but rather, they hold trials to discover if there is probable cause that a person has committed a crime or is somehow otherwise unfit to hold office.
This is a constitutional separation of powers. The judiciary holds criminal trials. However, if we adopted the view of Blunt and other LIARS, then we would never impeach a criminal president or remove them from office, because removal would have to be predicated by criminal charges, and the executive branch will not indict a sitting president.
The cowardly LIARS in the criminal Republican Party are so irresponsible that they would (AND DID) keep a criminal in the presidency if they found it politically useful. They are wholesale backstabbing traitors and NONE OF THEM should be in ANY position of authority.
KICK every Republican out of office.
I used to like Kristen. Not anymore. She is just another one of the graduate school of interrupting people as they speak. It seems the only requisite today for graduating from journalism is learn to interrupt, a lot, and use non-condescending tones and sassy attitudes to look assertive, unbiased and professional. You could tell the Ukrainian official disliked the way in which she interrupted him several times. Very unprofessional.
This interview with Blunt shows what disgraceful and dishonorable liars that ALL Republicans are.
Blunt said "The Democrats were trying to impeach someone who was already out of office."
1. Mitch McConnell recessed the Senate for the last two weeks of Trump's presidency in order to avoid having an impeachment trial in a Senate controlled by Democrats.
2. McConnell refused to conduct an orderly transfer of power in the Senate. Instead, he delayed the organizing agreement for an entire month after Warnock and Ossof were certified as the winners of the Georgia election, in January 2021.
3. After McConnell effectively blocked a trial from occurring while Trump was still president, he then argued that an impeachment trial wasn't necessary, as if criminals should get away with any crimes they commit in office.
4. Republicans are compulsive LIARS because they are compulsive criminals.
American students: forgiveness loans
Ukrainen students: free tuition
Americas priorities F’d up
Is Sen .Warren serieus that she wants to ban members of congress from buying and trading individual stock to “restore some confidence in congress “?? what kind of nonsense argument is this? How can anyone take such a politician seriously when this she tells voters this nonsense as it’s non constructive and it’s clear this politician has her own different agenda then to actually reform legislation to prevent conflicts of interest and create transparency to the American people. (please note I’m northern European and not a eligible voter in the USA) This politician is living far beyond reality in in my opinion, time for a new generation of politics is needed if confidence is ever to be restored in America politics.
Elizabeth, you may want to run??? It may help your party ??
WW2 like war being started to hide WW2 like genocide. Adolf Hitler exterminated 12000000 under the guise of a typhus epidemic, and now a corona virus pandemic. Corona means crown, and a virus attacking the crown/government is some thing exposing government (2Corinthians4:4). Revelation/Apocalypse 17,18 can only apply to one place on earth. Research it well to learn who has been behind slaughters for centuries! 1John5:19 is trying to stop Daniel12:4,2:44,45. Hitler was an unexcommunicated Catholic, who rounded up to go to concentration camps because of a supposed typhus epidemic, and they were gassed on the way by vehicle exhaust, or by zyklon B rodent extermination gas(h#$%@3n)cyanide. Just like Hitler started a World War to hide the genocide, so are they now. NATO militerizing Ukraine against Russia for a long time. NATO changed the capital of Ukraine from a Russian word to a new name. The West overthrew the Russian backed government less than 10 years ago and has been killing those still loyal to Russia and calling them separatists or Russian sympathizers. There were massive quantities of UK/US rockets and rocket launchers, which regular Catholic Ukrainians use to destroy Russian military vehicles. NATO calls Russia stupid for having all there tanks in a row, but they were coming in to defend, but the leader(an actor), Nazi sympathizer, is either ignorant or planned the attack. Does any one remember World War Two? Same happening. Trump said 2 years ago,"We'll soon be at war with Russia and China". The virus disappeared, because they couldn't explain new vaccines for new variants with out testing. To get a vaccine would be a miracle in short time, but 30 miracles in a row? The virus wasn't able to lock you down and control you, so they are starting WW3. Why did virus lockdown include only being able to talk to family? To hide information. The people of Mariopul left for Catholic Poland(the land of most WW2 exterminations of the Church of Rome's enemies). Once empty, you can see on videos that buildings are being blown up like there is carpet bombing happening, but there is no missile or rocket seen in the sky. NATO invents the idea that Russia has supersonic missiles that go faster than you can see. Why would Russia use such advanced weapons to destroy low value buildings? The explosions were too big for mortar fire and in very close timing, like a controlled demolition. Meanwhile all the Catholics are safe in Poland, accept the civilians who stayed to use the NATO rocket launchers in surprise attack against an unsuspecting Russian column, there to protect Russian people. Military strategists say Russia was stupid and clumsy, how they just casually drove in. That was because they weren't attacking until they were attacked by thousands of handheld missiles. Russian media was blocked in NATO Countries(why?). If you have the truth, there is no reason to run from information. RT(Chinese CGTN also), was one of the Russian sources blocked. There was a world wide confiscation of Russian people's assets being confiscated. Russia had been asking for talks and security guarantees, but Joe said basically (@)U. This is the same as during WW2. You can not let the Church that rides the Roman Empire of Revelation Apocalypse 17,18, destroy Acts2:44(communism). *Most picked up for isolation, were dead with in 70 days. Revelation says, leave the Revelation18:4 group if they don't want to receive her plagues. (Hello, if you don't want to receive her plagues!)
According to Revelation 18 this group wears scarlet(Catholic Cardinals), and purple(Catholic Bishops). It refers to a city Kingdom (Rome is the only city kingdom in the world), that rules over the Kings of the earth. Where are the Kings? The Roman Empire broke in 2 and from those 2 divisions came 10 Countries. The Pope was the eleventh, but he got rid of 3, and from the 7 he is chosen, and there will be 10 again. 5 Countries on each leg of the Roman Empire. The (cross or X) is on the shields(British flag, same as Roman shield) symbolizes the ten Kingdoms(X in Latin=10), and their religious beliefs. According to official writings no one may buy or sell or say a greeting to any one who has left the cross. The X or cross originates from the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet the tau, which means a mark, both literal and figurative. In The Bible book of Ezekiel 9, God put a tau(mark) on the people, and it was not for salvation. Revelation/Apocalypse 13:18 says you won't be able to buy or sell with out the tau(mark) of the beast(Empire). Knowingly accepting this falsehood gets you condemned. Popes have always had a mitre(triple tiered crown) with 666 on it in Latin (Vicarivs Filli Dei). Latin letters have a number associated with it. 1John5:19 attacking (Daniel12:4) Clear your browser history and cache, and YouTube search and viewing history! Please pray for me and you! Study Revelation/Apocalypse 17,18 deeply, as people are putting their life on the line for you! *There is an unclaimed open offer of 1000 000 dollars to any one who can prove that Rome(Pope) is not the man in the Temple that rides the Roman Empire of Revelation 17,18. In fact, that is why it is called the "Roman"Catholic Church. Idols on Ste. Peter's Basilica(Rome), show that Rome is a complete fraud (Acts15, Exodus20, Deuteronomy 5). Governments mandate vaccines all over the world, which causes sabotage, boycotts, protests, walk outs and people quittng, so as to destroy businesses. Those trying to Daniel12:4 about 1John5:19. The Pope and the British Royals were found guilty of genocide, by the International Criminal Court, pre corona. Donald J. Trump attacked the International Criminal Court by the US financial system. Revelation/Apocalypse17,18, 1John5:19, 2Corinthians4:4 is waring against God and humanity. Not NWO Daniel 12:4, but 1John5:19 OWO. Same as the genocide and war of WW2, and plague of 1918. Think! Copy and share this information!(video record, record in audio, text, or ? They are attacking because of information exposing them. *There are two realities playing out.* 1. A corona virus pandemic and a vaccine to stop its spread. 2. Corona means crown(government) and there is a virus(information exposing/attacking the crown/government) and there is a computer/device anti virus(vaccine)(which is supposed to protect from malicious computer code) and this anti virus deletes information from your view.(turn off antivirus software!) Trade your digital vaccine pass for a paper one and they lose control! Do it! They will go in to a frenzy because of this information. UK just passing laws to lock people up indefinitely, with no trial, take your kids, force tests, and send to concentration camps. UK has released tender for businesses to contract cadaver services for millions of human corpses. Mass emergency poison purchase in Australia. Hitler used rat poison. Revelation/Apocalypse 17,18 ruled the world for 1260 years , as Bible foretold. Rome was beheading for observing the real Sabbath(not ((Sun)day) "lord's day" lord's day is a clever imposter of the Sabbath.) Catholic Austrian Royals ruled Germany and Catholic Austrian Adolf Hitler authorized most exterminations, which were in Catholic Poland, which is now completely militarizing. Revelation/Apocalypse17,18 eats it's children. *××Every one needs a 2.5 micron air quality monitor, so you can see when you are being GASSED!xx*(Revelation13:15,18:5,*6*.) *G7 nations are removing corona restrictions, to regain it by war powers, or a new bird flu plan. G(7) of Revelation. Who will do the will of God? (*Revelation 18:6*) Think about sabotaging NATO assets for sake of the world. They are using hand held rocket launchers, so do the same. Quit British Pound and US dollar, use Bitcoin or other! I've been warning for over two years that Rome would start a war with Russia and China to hide genocide. Roman Catholic Joe Biden attacking Acts2:44,45, Daniel2:44,45, bypassing US government for military equipment distribution. Gog and Magog are in Turkey, not Russia. Rome hates (Acts2:44,45; 4:32-35). Ukraine sinking their own ships and blowing up their own bridges. NATO has M.O.B. on flag, and goal is war on Acts2:44. Rome planned Ukraine war for 2017(Pompeo). The Pope is the man of sin in the(false)temple with 666, and exterminating for generations, yet the US although it has the largest military, is naked and prostrated gratifying her Papal master, while UK readies her turn. The world was counting on you. Most cowardly in all history Ukraine war was started from Poland?(Italian/US forces were there) Who will obey God's Revelation18:4-8? *I am not Russian. Fact finding mission finds Russia not guilty of genocide. Multi Nation Joint forces operation in Ukraine is Rome(since 2014). Ukrainian Azov Battalion (Nazis) killing those with out blue arm bands. Rome is staging the entire Ukraine scenario, pretending Zelensky is Mark who is an extreme athlete, or hoping he will be confused for Kiev Mayor. Mark donated much wealth and science to the world and Rome stole it. *This is a take over of Ukraine/war on Russia, by Rome. Imagine NATO Countries attacking your Country and blaming yours, so as to attack you! All Countries of the world formally ask NATO's almost 900 military bases to leave your Countries or confiscate it, for war crimes in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq(ask Scott Ritter about Iraq!) etc etc etc! This is a global tyrannical occupation. Christian media falsely announced that Russia invaded Ukraine, to start the war and later falsely announced that China invaded Taiwan. The war was planned as a massive NATO weapons cache found in Ukraine. NATO=Rome's military. Ron Desantis overthrows a sovereign City in Florida for John8:32. Ron says don't (F)ing awake my people. Freedom until you express an unsanctioned idea. ;(((?
Why would anybody with a brain vote for the Reich of the Republican Party, since the Reich doesn't do anything or remember anything, just cause trouble ? – Oh, Yeah – Reich Needs Brain !
If Russia can just take over another Country & the world doesn't seem to mind, why don't we (The U.S.A.) just take over Russia & tell them – Thanks – Goodbye ! – Ukraine should have just given us their Country in the first place ! – I Hate Logic !
Someone should open a deli in D.C. and call it “Press the Meat”.
Vote these bums out
When your organization starts reporting on news that matters to most people, I might come back to watch you.
For the longest time, you seem to be a mouthpiece of the DNC.
Meet The Press is no longer a news program worth watching, because all guests are not telling the truths.
35:15 it really would be better if she had said former president Turnip. especially in the climate we’re in now. ffs
why isn't Clinton being prosecuted ?
Kristin always shows where her loyalties lie, with the GOP
Macron won
Do we the taxpayers have to foot the bill each time a Rep goes down to kiss trump’s rump? Just wondering.
I’m afraid that if politicians could not make money using insider trading & had to sell their stocks, no one would run for Congress or the Senate! Because it certainly looks as if many are leaving office a lot wealthier than when they entered, Manchin would be example as would Mitch!
I support our helping Ukraine but I have to think about how that may be hurting the Dems chances of passing bills with big price tags. So much of our money problems can be fixed if Biden could take back to trump tax breaks for the ultra- wealthy.
Bring back Ari.
americans integrity is going down the toilet everytime trump talks and someone backs him or gives him airtime
Alert !! Supreme Court and DOJ are compromised!
The world has greater peril from those who tolerate evil, like the DOJ, than from Trump and his fellow insurrectionist! DOJ Garland is ending democracy by not prosecuting Trumpist.
Trump Has Not Been Indicted because
1. the DOJ really wants to let Trump go
2. DOJ Garland is afraid of what might happen to himself
3. DOJ Garland is afraid to do his job and wants others to Pursue Trump in Civil Court
DOJ Garland
promised to hold Trump insurrectionists accountable, but he has not for the insurrection leaders and he is not cooperating with all other justice departments.
Garlands plan is to wait out the clock so he can say, oh we just couldn't get to it in time or we would never have won the case.
NY DA Bragg
Will not arrest trump for crimes his office has well documented.
NY Judge
will a NY judge hold Trump on contempt charges? probably not
There are actually some brave people trying to punish Trump, but he is hard to reach.
we want accountability for the following –
1. meadows doesnt appear in front of commission that is contempt of congress… doj wont arrest him is unethical. he didn't appear, what more evidence is needed? ……DOJ Failed
mark meadows says he lived in a n. Carolina mobile home he has never lived in. what would a multimillionaire be doing living in a mobile home…..what a cheat, but he is being investigated for this voter fraud crime.
2. "hang mike pence"…criminal threat……DOJ Failed
3. offering pardons… witness tampering……DOJ Failed
4. inciting violence Jan 6 ……DOJ Failed
5. ToiletGate – trump destroyed government documents and took secret documents home after losing his job! see presidential records act for details of the law he violated. It is well documented that Trump stole secrete document from the White House.
6. interfering with elections……DOJ Failed
7. contempt of congress……DOJ Failed
8. fake electors ……DOJ Failed
9. kelly ward and spouse and others, impersonating as government electors even after Barr and Pence said one could not do that……DOJ Failed
10. Jeffrey Clark – co-conspirator for trying to weaponized the department of justice to overturn the election
11. Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act applies to what Trump did.
By summer time, Georgia will enter phase 2 of their prosecution efforts for election interference…… how slow.
12. what about enforcing the 14th amendment of the Constitution of the United States? get rid of Cawthorn under section 3 of the 14th Amendment
13. muller investigation……DOJ Failed…. statue of limitation expired!
14. Will New York speak with Trump under oath? No because of corruption. New York DOJ appears to be supporting Trumps so dont expect progress there!
alvin bragg is another DA that supports Trumpism. Trump committed a crime and is not being prosecuted. New York should remove bragg from office.
actions speak louder than speculation, at this time I am convinced Garland wont prosecute Trump or any top insurrectionist. Only time will reveal why! in time Trump will be mentally broken or dead and then this insurrection nonsense will slowly die too. how sad that some people get away with murder!
virgina thomas, wife of supreme court justice Clarence Thomas is an insurrectionist too. it was discovered that she was pushing for the election overthrow. Ginni Thomas, the conservative activist who’s married to Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed Trump’s White House chief of staff to pursue efforts to overturn the 2020 election
"This is a fight of good versus evil. Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs. Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. MEADOWS TEXT TO THOMAS
no major arrest for seditious conspiracy leaders. The disgraced former president Trump, Trumps chief of staff, and a gang of congressional members in the House and Senate continue to conspired to undermine American democracy.
…Putin = Trump
Trumpism is a support for Putin. Wake up and Lock Trump up and support freedom.
Stop The Steal – Don't let Trumps steal our Democracy and make us like Russia!
Democracy will FAIL if Trump doesn't get indicted!
save us from Trumpism!
..trump is evil
..dont let hate win
There's only 1 President, and it's NOT TRUMP. STOP CALLING THAT FRAUD THE "president"
trump spun lies to get elected and committed a conspiracy to commit a crime where 5 people died pathetic; and they're counting on people hating the existing government to get a win, those trump republicans are so like Hitler, crazy.
Like the entirety of the Repugnant Party, Roy Blunt is a Spineless PoS and a LIAR.
And who is the Blonde Bimbo that keeps referring to Trump as "the president" ?
They don't want to do nothing about price gouging because we're paying for your re-elections.
Hey Blunt,..HOW can you sit there and support Moscow mitch 🤮 , SPINELESS MCCARTHY 🤨🤢🤮,.. and you’re supposed to be a policy chair ?!?! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅. 🤨😠🧐😫😫😫😫
Ms. Warren is out of touch! Cancelling student loan debt is not warranted or advisable at this time. With inflation surging, the poor and middle class needs relief. Cancelling student loan debt will only exacerbate the problem and cause dissention in the Democratic Party. Bad idea!
pocahantus on studenmt loan debt is clueless
Senator can't give his opinion about Trump, scary!
russia 👎🤬💩🤢🤮,…get out ALTOGETHER,..GO HOME ! “THEN PAY FOR ALL THE DAMAGE “ 😡😡😡🤨🧐 🌈🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🤗🤗🌈
Deputy Head of the Zalensky government does not want peace with Russia.
Any land Putin steals in this war must be returned to Ukraine.
