The People of our nation have lost trust and faith in every institution both federally and at the state level.

If the CIA didn't know the USSR was breaking up, they literally knew nothing important about their most important target. Unless... democracy was always their most important target.

[manuelcruz]

They have always had power, but now their corruption has been exposed.

[shenanigans-__]

Government is too big to trouble themselves with everyday peasants like 'WE THE PEOPLE' .

[carriecree]

I've read a lot of Matt's articles over the years and I'm still thinking how badly Bill Maher treated him on his show. This group treats him with much more respect. And gives him a chance to finish his sentences which is what interviews with notable guests should be.

[edwardcoleman]

This is the problem with today’s political landscape people don’t vote on principles they vote for team red or blue and unfortunately today’s voters are extremely Ignorant to the actual policy

[PhonyBalagna]

The fact that anyone trusts the FBI, CIA, or NSA is discouraging. Public education at work

This video pairs very nicely with Glenn Greenwald's, "Mountain of Data Showing How Authoritarian the Democrats Have Become". Up until 2 years ago, I was a loyal CNN viewer and couldn't understand why anyone would vote Republican. I'm so glad those days are over. It's much better to be awake and not woke.

The swamp was deeper than anyone thought. We didn’t drain it but now you can see all the scary monsters.

[NEILANIL]

Kim and Matt have brought some credibility to the false the hill has become. The only reason I'm watching the hill is Kim, ... and this segment bc of Matt

[JohnDoe-mtsy]

Just because you can see the strings doesn’t mean the puppet masters are going to let you cut them.

America: “whistleblowers need to be protected“ also America: “leaks inside the intelligence community are a real problem”

[jimmor]

now let's do a segment on big pharma...anybody see that mashup of brought to you by Pfizer?

[jbradleyrox]

I am so glad to see that the hill has changed gears to perform real journalism. So many of us are aware if this, it's always a "conspiracy theory" until it's a conspiracy fact

[cspdx]

Being an adult since late 80s. The Democratic party is nothing what it was back then on many fronts

[pamglass]

Matt and Kim are the real journalists here. They think for themselves.

[AshGreen]

Glad Kim is in more segments again. The show is just gaslighting without her.

[dlg]

This is a sad commentary on the weakness of the average American's mind. When it comes right down to it, we are a primitive, tribal people who are easily toyed with. Critical thought barely exists in this country...it's pathetic.

[GeminiGiant]

It's amazing the amount of stuff that was not covered or overlooked because it happened to Trump or his people

[sues]

Love or hate Trump (or anything in between), you have to admit that he was the one who brought about exposing what filth is really there in our government AND in the media. And yes, TDS is real. I am an independent, and have no skin in the game.
