I don't read it that way at all. By asking her these questions, he gave her a chance to respond to all of the ridiculous bullshit. As always, Bri hit it out of the park.
i will never forget the interview with the anti woke author and she asked her to define woke. The author could not even define a issue that she wrote a book on. it was sensational.
To be woke is to play perpetual victim and never take responsibility for anything you do. Your shortcomings are always due to someone else. To be woke is to be a failure.
Sure, but it doesn't mean that woke is not an actual phenomena, and it doesn't discredit the views of people who oppose woke-ism. It was a nice gotcha moment, but that's all it was.
@@jabasabon Not at all. The woman took to Twitter afterwards and claimed she was set up, but still could not provide a definition. It is representative of the bigger picture that people have no idea what the word means and just throw it around at anyone or anything they disagree with
@@julianbluefeather8491 Woke is an ideology where most aspects of society are viewed through the lens of identity groups. With historically marginalized / oppressed groups having a higher status in society. There’s other ways of defining it but they all manifest themselves in the same worldview. Hope that helps.
i unsubscribed BEFORE she was fired b/c it was so painful for me to watch. she's a brilliant, nuanced journalist, but she couldn't make up for the shortcomings and inadequacies of her co-host. i look forward to her future successes.
I love Bri. I did not know of her before. Came across one of her videos about the war in Gaza back in November and she really resonated with me. Great interviewer and debater. The female version of Mehdi Hassan with less confrontation
I certainly appreciate her honesty and I used to watch the show just because I knew she was coming from a place of news not her opinion. She was giving real information. I’ll follow her wherever she ends up.
It's a sad day when even journalists are afraid to discuss and expose the truth. I enjoyed listening to Briahna on the Hill and wish her the best with her future endeavors.
Brilliant summation when she said, "My job isn't to massage empire. I don't know why anyone would become a journalist to simply become a stenographer for state power." 👏👏👏
@@quinnmurph2750I'm pretty sure she knows why: when you don't meaningfully question or challenge structures of power you are more likely to be rewarded with comfy pay and job security
Briahna is telling people what happened. And racist people are ignoring her words because her beliefs are different than theirs. I like that Briahna is standing for integrity and truth. Something that racists are lacking.
Ms. Gray has what a lot of journalists lack today, INTEGRITY -- unlike her co-host! She will be surely missed because it's no need to watch the show now that class and integrity have left the room!
Respect to her for sticking to her opinions, however, she speaks nonsense most of the time. She can't even speak honestly about an interview she hosted, that was recorded. Don't think she can tell someone facts about a conflict across the world. Respect though for her guts, but she's ideologically possessed and/or dishonest on the other hand
@@jameeyg87 Stop projecting. You are the one speaking nonsense. The invention of races, the term white people, and white supremacy is nonsense. Especially since God is the creator of nations. The invention of races are man-made not God-made.
@@jameeyg87you’re talking nonsense, you don’t even point to the parts you object too. I’ve watched it all from start to finish and she’s been true to the facts and herself the whole way through, you can’t take that from her.
it was so painful to watch her brilliant mind literally run circles around her co-host. he never had any responses except for insults b/c he couldn't keep up with her.
Love you Brie! You brought me back to Rising and now I'm gone again. Thanks for the regular pick-me-up in the work day. You're brilliant. IDGAF what the haters say.
always coming at intellectual sistas with a voice...the corporate media devils must be defeated with the truth...long live independant media, don and briana.
You’re sick… just like her. She’s perfectly fine with Trump being reelected, which would cause chaos around the world and hurt anyone that isn’t wealthy or white. Educate yourself.
Briahana I support you 100% You’re true to your oath of reporting and moral judgment, and telling the truth. I hope this is the beginning of your time becoming the most biggest reporter of our times. You deserve it genius of your time.❤
I've found that Briahna brings clarity and insight to a whole host of topics she addresses. (This is only my third time watching a Don Lemon interview and he really doesn't add much as an interviewer. Very bland.)
I’m not a Don Lemon watcher but I think he asked fantastic questions! I’m a leftist, nota liberal soi didn’t have those stains in mind but I do think that he asked questions that other liberals likely have and so I found their discussion very illuminating because of both his perspective in the questions and his own professional experiences as well as her answers. Kudos to them both!
Her behavior was disgusting! AND, she is telling a different story about the interview, the guest and her relationship with Robbie overall! Not a good look. Again.
When Kim left I only watched because Briahna was there for me to get a balanced view. Now, she's gone I've unsubscribed The Hill and will never click on any of their videos.
Briahna, I just unsubscribed from Rising. I loved you and your co-host together and I watched it because I admire your flow and your courage. Please know that you are loved and valued.
@@adriennebraxton-oq9iu they were Jews and your hatred for them because of their white skin proves that simply because she’s a woman and African American she can be racist and support hamadbt
Hey Don. As you say, you've been in this business for a long time. So you know that those bastards set Bri up. They wanted her out of the way and they set her up, like Sonny Corleone at the Causeway.... Shout out to her for standing Strong.
As I see it, we definitely need Briahna who has the journalist skills and accumen to push back against the right's ideology and propaganda machine as she did when debunking the lie about 40 beheaded babies. She does the research and presents the facts, and of course the right wing will oppose this, but as Don Lemon suggests, we need to hear all perspectives. That is true democracy at work.
Don, I would love if you could organize a show where you, Crystal Ball, Sagaar, Briahna, Kim Iverson and Kyle join forces. It would literally be the #1 show on youtube. It would have also a wide range of opinions (mostly independent). I think you guys could do a lot together
I don’t know why she’s surprised. Her co host is judgmental and boarders racism. I’ve seen the look of disbelief on her face. Without Bri I will never watch The Hill again
Don Lemon is revealing a lot about himself during this interview. He showed that he is willing to tow the line all the time, saying wherever his corporate bosses want him to say, and he is shocked that Briahna is not like him.
Thank you for having Briahna on, she is one of the most brilliant voices in independent media. What the rising did to her was unjust and a huge loss for them!
The Israeli hostage's sister was clearly stating more than her "experience", as she was also suggesting that Muslims and other students in Michigan State were protesting the mass execution of women and children in Palestine are terrorists because they don't support Israel's genocidal onslaught suggests that she is more than just a non politically motivated "family member" with no political considerations is ridiculous. Once you start assuming that anyone who doesn't support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian women and children despite The fact that they have been locked in Gaza with Hamas also saying that Hamas is ruthlessly controlling the Gaza strip and not giving the people a choice and therefore you need to murder everyone as they are all terroristl is not only disingenuous & disgusting but literally the pretext for genocide. I'd suggest anyone pushing those talking points are political at that stage and are open to push back considering the fact that there is actually now real decapitated Palestinian babies and sexual violence from the IDF, not just the pretend kind that is spoken about but never under any circumstances proven. The Israeli sister is in the worst position possible and I have and profound sympathy and sadness for her and her sister as Netanyahu has brought about the worst of all situations, which I can only imagine is horrific in every way, but that doesn't excuse sacrificing the countless lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians for a single life, no matter how important it is to one person (she's right though. If it was my sister it would be different but it's not and we can't operate our universe based on what we would do specifically for our personal family members . *Also, let's never forget that Netanyahu doesn't give a s*** a book anyone other than himself. Otherwise these hostages would already be home with their families.
Thanks to Don Lemon for this interview. I don't always agree with BJG and some of her political takes but I very much support her after her recent firing. Also, appreciated how BJG gave so much context about what led to 10/7. Hope BJG is invited back.
Brie, we need your fearless journalism. I am so proud of you for sticking to your guns and never backing down despite the enormous powers that were against you. Your principled journalism will win in the end. Good always wins in the end.
Don I have to say it's great that you interviewed Sam and also Joy who are both very much opposed to each other's views on the Israel-Gaza conflict. It lets us hear both sides of the argument in short order, which is great.
She’s amazing! Loved the interview! I learned so much from her and wish her a continued successful career. We need journalists like her who report the truth.
Seems like people in the institution set her up. no ignorance, no oblviousness. Brihana was being watched inside and out and they would know who she was going to interview before she knew.
I’d like to think that Don’s brain is still at CNN but I think it’s purely willful ignorance and fear. I’m proud to hear BJG continue to stand her ground. 👏🏾💐
It's a blessing in disguise. She'll be happier at Al Jazeera and will be paid more as well. And they will support her and appreciate her for her opinions.
Thank you for having Briahna on! She's such an intelligent and eloquent speaker with no wasted words, who packs in so much reliable info that people need to hear! She's such a Joy :)
@@traviscutler9912have you lost your mind? Israel isn’t taking 2 year old children and hoping to exchange them for their soldiers. That would be hostage taking. Whether there is sufficient evidence or charges to hold someone is not the same thing as hostage taking.
Candace interviewed Brie last week on her (CO’s) show and it was really good! And they both agreed to being open to future conversations, maybe on Brie’s show Bad Faith so hopefully we will get some more! A regular show with those two would be fye!!! 🔥🔥🔥
@@jesstiss222did Candace hold her own? I’ve tried watching some of her stuff, but she’s so obtuse! It seems like that would be more difficult when she’s not speaking in to the void, but actually getting a direct response.
WHAT!! How can your support for Brianna be so weak!?? Don, you have a chance to say The Truth, but you are bending to "both-sides-ism" !! We had great hopes for you since you left corporate TV... or are you still to please these network giants? It's a S-H-A-M-E !!
She gave interviews on Glenn Greenwalds show and Breaking Points already. This isn’t her first interview. She did an interview on her own podcast as well.
Yeah but she's spreading misinfo flat out? Every single story she did is still published, including all the 'debunking' rape stories. Lol The idea any of her ideas got her fired and not the disgusting treatment of a victim of Hamas is adorable, and obviously incorrect. There is simply no evidence to support that in any way.
I wasn’t always a fan of Bri and have disagreed with her on several issues but I am with her on this issue- besides she has a Star Trek poster in her background and that’s a win for this Trekkie 🖖🏽

Brie's presentation of facts countering propaganda points seemed to come across as new information for Mr. Lemon. I found that very disappointing. It was surprising as well, as he says he listened to the show (that would have familiarized him with the information she would present). Even the way Mr. Lemon presented a counterpoint or defense of Israel points sounds like they were shared opinions. His insistence on questions concerning her possibly being pro-Hamas was strange to me. You can criticize Israeli policy and stand for human rights.
