Sounds more like a Steve Bannon script, and Steve Miller. Accusing Biden of they want to do.

[terrellcuevo]

WHY isn't Steve Bannon behind bars?? Anyone??

[Missunderstood]

How is Bannon NOT in prison?And how are you using him as a source and not pointing this out?

[billyblobb]

How come Bannon isn't in prison now?

[sherribogdanowicz]

ENOUGH REPORTING AND TALK!!!!
DO SOMETHING!!!!

[leonarddarson]

Louisiana is the only state in America who lives under NAPOLEON LAW versus COMMON LAW of every other state. Where is, if it is not SPECIFICALLY spelled out in the Statutory wording of the statute, it is not against the law of that state. Versus COMMON SENSE.

[eagleinewschannel]

NBI needs to act in response to Trump accusations and detain Trump for such a statement.

AND THE JANUARY 6TH INSURRECTION ATTEMPT CONTINUES. HOLY TREASON

[danadams]

Agent Orange/Don'T always trying to stay relevant in the news and iin society as the most prolific narcissistic liar in human history.

I love Chuck Todd !!! He's always straight forward and balanced. Why isn't Bannon in jail? His appeal failed, is he waiting for Christmas or some other holiday to turn himself in? Send in the hounds, flush him out, put him in jail yesterday.

[halaurent]

Surely, if the FBI had intended deadly force, they wouldn't have missed!

[JohnOhkumaThiel]

25:45 I like this guy. He's not angry; he's just trying to get things done.

[dstarrII]

Something tells me if the FBI wanted him gone he would be gone!!

[tyhoctk]

Lots of awkward moments here. Gabe is doing his best. Lol

[enckidoofalling]

What a joke. I am sickened by our supposed court system. Definitely not fair, or just.

[KateKinsleyMusic]

Nice to hear Chuck Todd's perspectives. Definitely miss him behind the desk!

[BubbleGum-sc]

The female commentator says Dems are insincere regarding solving border issues; however, she ignores the BIPARTISAN efforts to make major improvements (which were trashed by the Repubs) because Repubs want to keep the issue alive for their campaign purposes.

[suzannemcclure]

Stephen Benjamin was a bit rude to Gabe, I thought, OF COURSE Mr Benjamin monitors the polls...any WH Advisor absolutely keeps an eagle eye on those polls.

[madelinemanor]

Kamala needs to start campaigning to get the black voters support or we are doomed as our democracy will be gone. Vote 💙💙💙💙

Look... not to bag on the left, but saying "I'm not sure I heard the last part of your question", and then rather than asking for a repeat going ahead with a talking point of your own, when the "last part of the question" was a potentially difficult query... seems like a cop out to me.
