Time to Panic? | Talking Feds Podcast

As one of our guests this week puts it, we know the dartboard but we don’t know what area to pinpoint. There has been little concrete indication of movement in the basic dynamic of the election, which means that we need to stare head on at the grim possibility of a Trump victory, and ask why the sense of panic isn’t greater, including among Republican officials who know Trump best. Susan Glasser, Charlie Sykes, & Jacob Weisberg contrast Harris’s vigor w/ Trump’s continued decline & read the sparse tea leaves.

My mother lived in Hitler Germany. Her first comment when she started seeing Trump in 2015, she said he reminded her of Hitler.

My dad ( born 1921) sacrificed so much for this country. He was an Eagle Scout, an Army officer in service 1942 to 1972. Served WW2, Korea, Vietnam. My older brothers also served in Vietnam. My dad was a straight shooter, he did what was right. Once I told him he should see a CPA and try to avoid taxes. He said he was proud to pay his taxes. I guess today’s Americans would not understand dad. He is at rest, donating his body to science. I’m so proud of dad, always was.

No panic . Inspiration!!! get out there and organize. All hands on deck to motivate every single person you know to vote.

You're right, Charlie. That was a shockingly disgusting display at the Al Smith dinner. I had been an on- the- fence Catholic, now I'm done. Despite my respect for the Pope.

Look at what Harris was saying when Baier interrupted her. She was bringing up truths about Donald that they don’t want their audience hearing

[matthewhoffman]

Equally alarming as would be a new Trump presidency is the discovery of how mean and venal is half of the American electorate.

[lidelloste]

No Charlie. The way the press went after president Biden was not justified. He's old. Yes. But he is competent and not a seditionist. DonOld lurches from one disqualifying statement to disqualifying action and corporate media gives him a pass. You are all complicit with the enormous disparity with which you treat them.

Really unsettling times.... I look forward to a future we don't fear

In Kentucky; VOTE NO on Proposition 2 ; Save Public

[geire]

All these meanings! All this chaos! Why not say Trump is what he is, a dictator and a stupid one!

[Agameda]

As a former Catholic, i was horrified to see the Archbishop Dolan, seeming to listen to intently to trump and the other speakers, all making lame or vulgar jokes - it seemed rather decadent, and a very
' belle époque ' moment

[camresearch]

Afterwards Trump went to beg Rupert to make her stop. Yes going on Fox was effective 🎉

Panic never helped any1! Dont panic, FOCUS!!

[hereigoagain]

Thanks Jacob and Susan for pointing out that autocracies and oligarchies destroy free markets and the rule-based system that helped our billionaires get rich.

Resolute Square has a great podcast that tells stories based on project 2025 . There is one coming up about, the using the military to go after citizens and have done one on deportations, doing away with the department of education, doing away with unions and child labor laws, and other parts of project 2025. It's well done more people should listen to them.

Very depressing vision for America under Trump.

[lornabrooks]

They say America is a Super Power, first world and example of the world country. So Vote Blue to show the world that it is truly America. 💙💙💙💙

[carmelaguanciale]

I agree. Those rich people will come to regret their backing of trump.
