Watched it live (with some gremlins posing problems, as is usually the case with either my internet, my computer or with Substack -- I can never tell which is the glitch).

Let me just say how much I really APPRECIATE the transcript being at the ready in the same email you have the on-demand video! I often find myself reading the transcript even though I saw the event live.

Double brain-cramming.

Great conversation! Simon... I am scouring news and the various folks we all trust, for ANY news that the R's are in the back rooms finally getting it up to do something about the Rules Based Global order collapsing any minute., and I find nothing! ... Trump is still saber rattling tonight. Gavin N was awesome. Ursula Von Der Leyden was awesome as were all the leaders who spoke in Davos today. The US reps were nonsense. We are on the brink? Is anyone shouting from the rooftops?

We are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since we're getting rid of the rules-based order, maybe we can toss the Citizens United decision. Why not pack the Supreme Court, while we're at it?

Seeing you both sort thru the stable dung that Trump has created, helps us have hope and is greatly appreciated.

The 1850 Fugitive Slave Act brought bounty hunters to the streets of Boston, New York, Cincinnati and other citites in search of Black people to ACCUSE of being slaves. White northerneers feared their own arrest for helping a Black person hide or run. and feared a provision that allowed police to FORCE civilians to assist in making arrests. (fm "Sumner" by Z. Tameez). 176 years later, in a 180-degree reversal, Republicans have re-awakened this law to hunt down Americans--immigrants and their protectors.

Oh, Lincoln, how low your party has sunk!

Some historians posit it was the fugitive slave act that pushed us into the Civil War

Thank you Simon, for bringing this excerpt of You and Glenn from this afternoon. I'll repeat, Glenn being a very great aggressive attorney, is a very important person to keep up with. These stories that We are trying to tell about our past, must be told, over and over again. We will never be a Country United, unless we are One! And, as far as Trump goes, Fuck the MANIAC! We are going to have Our Country without him.

It is astonishing how an entire party has betrayed us and America.

Since we're tossing out the rules-based order, I guess we don't have to pay any attention to the recent Supreme Court ruling granting president's immunity, nor do we need to pay attention to the pardon power granted by the Constitution.

Love Glenn Kirschner. I listen to him often. He gave a blow by blow description of what was legal and what was illegal with a filmed ICE attempt to arrest a woman who kept claiming she was a citizen. It was very interesting especially what is considered assault. I believe it was presented yesterday by Glenn Kirschner. I picked it up this morning.
