Never understood why people find a fast talker as an intelligent person. If you are normally a fast talker, you're less of a listener. I have no patience for the Swamy.

I've never seen a presidential season in such disarray and I have been watching them now since the 1960 season.

She's debating rather than questioning.

[tomthelen]

The faces of these reporters as they sit in silence tells it all, panic in their inability to object “intelligently”?

[dustinbenge]

These journalists have met their match. Vivek is so smart, well spoken and direct.

[suezbell]

How many migrating animals have been caught in all that barbed wire?

[SteveCarroll-ml]

How can anyone say, “We need to define what White Supremacy is”? It literally means believing Caucasians are superior to other races.

Immigration has been an issue forever. Congress just refuses to do anything about it. You can blame any president you want, without new immigration legislature no one will be able to do anything about it.

[argelsilva]

Oh, don't waste your time. He's not really thinking of anyone but himself.

[RobertStricklandinKorea]

If all these republican candidates had pointed out all the things wrong with trump instead of attacking each other.
One of these fools might have had a chance of winning.

[25:31] Vivek Ramaswami calls himself an "outsider who *deeply* understands the law and the constitution." This is coming from the person who said that *_.U.S.-born_* individuals should *lose their citizenship* if they were born to undocumented parents, which *flies in the face of the Constitution.*

I've never seen a presidential season in such disarray as this one+ and I have been watching them now since the 1960 season.

[suezbell]

The "Christian compassion" of Mike Johnson on full display.

[louissouther]

Impeachment - what a waste of time/effort/taxpayer monies - just fire them

[RenataCantore]

Thank you for your excellent reports 🎉

[danadams]

Punctuality? Ramaswamy, check your vocabulary, as I don't believe that word means what you think it means. Punctuality means to be on time..

[danielleesposito]

He’s Gaslighting even worse than Trump

[ChristianMontoya-bz]

Ramaswamy absolutely destroyed these two activists!!!!

You know why NBC talks about the border as if its some lie or untrue talking point? Its because they are 100% disconnected with Mexico, the border, actual immigrants.. and the day to day of life along the border. Let the anchors and guests live along the border... and see how they change. Let them see bus after bus after bus of immigrants dropped off at parking lots, converted into mass immigration depots.. let them see the hundreds of illegals standing outside the motel 6 waiting for the CBP bus to take them to the airport for free flights.. let them see the illegals making lewd gestures at women walking by and smoking weed as they do

I love it when Gabe hosts. He has a warmth and a heart to his demeanor and he asks officials really challenging questions which I appreciate. MORE GABE!
