Rachel Maddow is a blessing. I listen to her broadcasts regularly from Germany. What she explained in her Podcast also applies to what can be done in Europe to save democracy. Thank you Rachel.

Rachel Maddow is a national treasure.

IMO the powerfully compelling core of Rachel's message is not to lose faith in the power of your vote, which the American right is fighting tooth and nail to undermine in order to take complete control over you. Don't let them.

I'll always be a big, BIG fan of Rachel's. What a mind! 🎉

Rachel, is brilliant at helping us to understand the crazy people and actions that are happening in our time.

Rachel leads us forward! So smart, eloquent. Calling us to action....

Rachel, I love your optimism that we can handle this again. My concern: each time we go through severe right wing crises, they become more sophisticated, more undetectable and devious, and now with incredible hi tech tools and social media. 😑

Rachel's thought process is wide-ranging, coherent and logical. Her memory is absolutely enviable. The older I get, the more I appreciate the suggestion of reading, reading, reading. Learn the purpose of grammar, which helps w meaning and memory. But READ. Another recommender was the late Maya Angelou. Thank you, Rachel, for your great intellectual contribution to Democracy.

Rachel - a very sincere shout-out from a Canadian viewer/and listener. Your powerful and remarkably spontaneous oratory is complimented by a remarkably quick-fact-accessible mind. Your new book is more than an intellectual and highly disciplined combination of a gift of naturally flowing oratory but is delightfully part of your magnificently flowing writing as well. I hear you speaking and it adds so much to the pleasure of reading. I could not put down your book! You owe me several hours of sleep deprivation. compensation. But, as a fellow historian and writer, I stand in genuine awe of your insatiable appetite for not simply remarkable research and sourcing of rare-to-obtain leads and publications, but the mastery of a modern-day Dickens' storyteller. (hopefully without the crippling demand of high-blood pressure which both completed his reading in character, but brought of his early death in 1870 at only age 59. I long to know what really happened to Edmund Druid.. I can only conclude with a simple but deeply sincere "thank-you" for how you have aided me in my quest for knowledge with pinpoint accuracy. Your Canadian admirer. Timothy R.

thanks rachel WE ARE LISTENING!!!

I never get tired of listening to Rachel...she really is amazing!

She is so lucid and insightful. She makes me hopeful and worried all at once.

Rachel is a an elite investigative journalist and a go-to high value resource for all of us seeking evidence based truth - our democracy needs more Rachel Maddows!

A National Treasure

Masterclass...everyone needs to hear this.

I like your hopeful message. It takes regular people to counter and reject anti Democratic energy.

I learn something new every time from Maddow. We instinctively know that what she says is true, that I wasn’t crazy thinking that those people, Republicans are weird that I lived in an upside down world. Thanks for respecting my brain.

I wish we could see the live version… darn! However, this is some powerful research. Thank you, Thank you!

I hope that Rachel becomes more directly involved with public policy.

I never bought a Ford automobile in my life. I didn’t know what a bigot he was, so, good thing I never helped out his empire.

Thank you for such an inspiring talk and Q&A.

Rachael is spectacular.

Beautifuly stated! Inspiring work, thank you for your excellent presentation.

I didn’t know she could see into the future.

What great questions

So interesting and relevant❤

Didn't reaize how much Rachel resembles Andrew Weissmann

I love you, Rachel ❤

I would hope that you are aware of the struggle over meat consumption. On one side are those that are concerned about the impact of excessive meat consumption. On the other side there are those who consider themselves to be cavemen, who have little concern about the impact of their habits. I see a deep connection regarding what you have to say.🌻

Because I have been an activist and I'm open about my hopes and fears for this country, I fully expect to be harassed, threatened, maybe even persecuted or arrested for my left leaning tendencies. I already have had some dunce load unwanted images onto my tablet. I wasn't impressed by the body parts that appeared on it. I sent those images into the trash where they belong. In the past I've had to run from people dressed in bed sheets who lined the entrance path to a public meeting. I said my piece at that meeting and ran with my friends for our car. They didn't stop me. I have been threatened with death because I was working for the eradication of slum housing. Bullies even went so far as phoning me and describing my clothes and my child's child's clothes that we wore that day described in a death threat. I had my telephone tapped because I was advocating for a better life for Central American people and my roommate was a civil rights lawyer working on a notorious police misconduct case. These people cannot stop me from thinking and talking. I am free even if my country does not stay free. I expect this kind of behavior. I suppose I will expect more of this if Trump is elected again. But I will not hide. I will do what I must and what I can. I am not offering myself up as a martyr or claiming I am special. I must do what I must do regardless of authoritarians, regardless of bullies, regardless of religious zealots and plain stupid people. Those of us who are watching our country jinking ever rightward and who speak up are either doomed or are going to continue despite it. I have one suggestion. If you are an activist do not give the goons any reason to break you. Don't even jaywalk. Don't do anything in your personal life that they can use against you. Be kind. Be easy to understand. Don't give up. Working for social justice and a better life for ordinary people is a lifestyle. Embrace it. I salute you!

Allissa Rosenthal, what a cool name.

Another way to look at it, could it be the fight between psychopaths and empathetic people?

The "America First Committee" sounds eerily familiar, does it not?

Yeah, but how does one deal with the sneer of disdain? Communities are important regardless of political spectrum, but how does one respond to ostracism, vilification and actual malice? Unfortunately we live in interesting times, the bad ole days are here again, undeniably. It's not who you are but what you think that can and will be held against you.

I saw an ad for Carl's junior. Don't go to Carl's juniors

I admire Rachel and her good work. Re: the Jew subject… they have been very successful in this country and have gradually inserted themselves in the political process. Their absolute loyalty to Israel bothers me. Especially when their money has great influence in elected officials and elections.

The constant commercials almost make this impossible to listen to. How is it every other talk she does that’s posted not have commercials but this one seemingly has all the commercials?

Love Rachel.. fish on my dear!

WOW!!!! LOVE HER EVEN!!!

MY FRIEND KENNY QUEONIS GOT ME TO KNOW ABOUT MRS "*RACHEL MADDOWS*" KENNY IS A GREATFUL DEAD FAN WHO ALSO GOT ME INTO LISTENING TO GERRY GARCIA'S MUSIC 🎵🎶 AND CHERRY 🍒 GARCIA ICE CREAM 🍨 BY BEN AND GERRY AND VERMONT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE STATES AND I GOT TO MEET BERNIE SANDERS WHO WAS THE MAYOR OF MONT PEALER THE CAPITAL OF VERMONT

Rachel, tell the truth about Palestine!

If she was married to Hunter they could have snow flakes.

This podcast is unwatchable ... Why does the Humanities Festival need to monetize what is supposed to be a public service to the point of having a commercial every couple of minutes. I'm 3 minutes in and, with 2 commercials already, I'm out. Much worthy programing is now unworthy of watching, including this one. PS the audio book Prequel is excellent, listen to it instead.

Too bad she is always wrong. All hype!

There once was a man who helped her out, and gave her a leg up to where she is now! In return she stabbed him in the back! What a quality human being!

separate from Islamic UN two state solution

PALESTINE WILL BE FREE. FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA.

She's real quiet about the genocide 😮

She’s the queen of the Karen’s!

The Queen of Disinformation.
