  1. Love Elie!!!! Please bring him on more often. He was on quite a bit on MSNBC, but not as often anymore. I’m glad he said what he did about Sour, because it’s true!! I cringe thinking about it! Almost as bad as listening to RFKjr

  3. Sam you’re so right about why people lose their hair. All those factors you listed are the reason why people are losing their hair. Especially the lack of nutrients eating process food and stress is the biggest factors. I regrew my hair using similar products that you promote. ❤️‍🩹

  4. I've been on a kick looking at channel metrics for high subscriber channels, and MR has a HUGE active community with it's relatively lowish subs. The daily views are crushing some mainstream news networks keep it up MR nation

  5. Glad I reupped my meds from VA last month, because despite what USG says, I don't trust that they'll be able to keep it running, and don't want to end up in the hospital again. I don't trust these fucks to run an Orange Julius.

  6. For the next four years, I'm not interested in hearing what any Democrat thinks about something Trump has done. I don't even want to hear what they plan to do about it. I only want to hear what they HAVE done about it.

  7. May I suggest a daily segment for your show.
    A probably short segment where you inform viewers of the financial benefit gained by Corporations and the Oligarchs, from government grants and the Trump tax cuts.
    Figures should be easy enough to get, so you could name Corps, and individuals, and the daily amount their benefit is.
    These figures could be immediately followed with what the value of the benefits removed by Trump for the rest of the populatipn.
    Hammering these figures each day, like Fox (for example) hammered the immigration, etc, may finally get through to people that the Trump regime is the wrong one for them.

  8. Trump is going all out and it’s amazing. Wars ending….streamlining government and working to remove waste….securing the border….win after win.

    You guys should get on board.

    Like it or not……with or without your help……we are going to drag this country ( some of it kicking and screaming like yourselves ) back into some semblance of normalcy and competency after 4 years of utter incompetence.

  9. Just watched the election nite coverage of your show , and it was hilarious.
    Seeing the two of you choke on it once the results started coming in made my day.
    You don’t have to be a brain dead moron to support the dems, but it helps

  10. The fun half link wasn't working for me, the show would open and then close out the YT app automatically, even if i used the link from the MR app. Had to open it in my mobile browser, and then click "open in app" Weird.

  11. I was worried about colleges and students and the chaos it would create.
    Also the federal employees that get tricked into resigning, taking a buyout that is not congressionally authorized and so never paid the buy out.
    And no the dems never use power maximally. Where is my damn ERA? Where is the expanded scotus? Etc

  12. In so many of these positions that aren't necessarily going to be scrapped, I can only imagine that as a result of the flight of legitimate experts who can make good choices and perform studies with a modicum of bias, the roles will pass on to those agreeable to the Trump administration- RFK-types who will act with extreme bias and ignorance and pass it off as legitimate data.. doing untold damage to the zeitgeist that's already troubled by the influence of corporate-funded think tanks and their ilk

  13. All I KNOW, is the democrats make everything about division and care nothing for their fellow Americans who don't comply with their brainwashed hateful thoughts. Don't believe me… just search for all the comments they make about Trump, MAGA "people", conservatives, republicans, christians, etc… The good news is, all the people dems hate, are actually praying for the country and the very people that hate them. God bless you all and I hope you find Jesus. I hope you find truth. Blessings! Go America, the most free, most diverse, amazing, opportunity rich country that ever was.

  14. Mystal is a known racist who in 2021 wrote the following during the Liberal-imposed Covid lockdown: The very best thing about the pandemic has been that I’ve had an extra year to protect my children from whiteness.

  15. 'Woke' Democrats? Hardly a one, and now Hakeem Jeffries, and Chuck Schumer are the leaders promoting the 'Snooze' Democrats, taking the neoliberal Third Way another Overton Window peg to the right and abandoning all but a few bullet points of the failed Biden/Harris campaign that validated Immigration and Crime Republican talking points as real issues, and only taking on T-47 by talking about the 'kitchen table' consequences of Republican policies.

    Failing again to offer any progressive policy to address the neoliberal disaster, but going further by promoting that the future of the party is more like John Fetterman and not 'crazy' Bernie Sanders. The New Democrats double down on neoliberalism and co-opting Republican talking points prove it is the modern Whig party and destined for collapse.

  16. 6:45 All this “reduction of government” is all Steve Bannon’s “dismantling of the administrative state”. It’s truly the final chapter of Norquisf’s book. This is the “making government so small, you can smother it in its crib” move.
    This is pure, old school right wing conservative wet dream nonsense. It’s nothing new. Trump didn’t develop any new doctrine. He’s just carrying out what they couldn’t under the guise of “populism”.
    🤷🏽‍♂️

  17. ❤❤??? Is FREEZE on MEALS WHEELs ON or OFF!? PBS news 2day says.. » White House said an Office of Management and Budget memo that outlined the pause is no longer in force. But Press Secretary said it would NOT STOP the funding freeze tied to President Trump's executive order.

  18. 🎉🎉 STRONGMAN leader
    abroad wins again (Belarus),with unrelenting crackdown on dissent and free speech, the election was a sham — much like the last one in 2020 that triggered months of protests that were unprecedented in their history.
    Since then, more than 65,000 people were arrested and thousands beaten.
