Jamie Raskin does not represent the people. There is not one benefit for the working class in the State of Maryland that has Raskins name on it. He instead would rather fund illegal immigrants, than help homeless American Vets, and he is a contributor to 58 years of failed entitlement in inner cities and minority counties. He is one of the liberal elite that want to keep the Black man on the DemoRAT plantation. He and his party are doing the same to the Latino community.
Thank you to you both! I just voted today in my primary from abroad (getting the signature right was tough on computer) but so thankful that you are fighting for my right to do so! Deeply grateful to you both!!
You two give the American people hope and spur us on to fight, not just now but for the rest of our lives, for democracy! Thank You! A woman from WI who has seen our rights as citizens eroded by gerrymandered maps. Step by step we will overcome!
@darkmoneyinwi I agree w you, Wis has too many dirty crooks like Ron Johnson (who carried fake electors' slates to DC) and any Republican who pushed for crooked gerrymandered voting districts. MAGAtts gotta get the hell out (and out of the way) and let someone else to actually do the job
I'm reading Democracy Awakening, and I'm amazed we've made it this far. It's apparent to me that we have made it because of people like you two. Thank you.
TRUMP is winning widely..... Biden can't put 2 words together unless he is drugged.... The whole country is RED..... Everyone is voting for our honorable president TRUMP
@@rodb4923 Raskin is soooo desperate.... 🤣🤣🤣.....He has tried all his dirty triks to destroy TRUMP......... still Raskin keep trying very hard......but truth will win....... TRUMP our real democracy fighter... ❤️❤️❤️❤️ TRUMP 2024 ❤️
As am I. SCOTUS really better start to follow the constitution, not be biased toward Trump. If he gets in, he'll make himself dictator and then he won't need a SCOTUS. They will be out in the street. Trump himself said he would be a dictator.
They were for the most part appointed by Trump. They feel like they can't bite off the hands that " feed them"( kind of silly if you ask me they work for the people or should)
Outstanding interview ! Watching two heros of democracy talk about the issues was a pleasure to watch. It is nice to see we are on the same page. Sometimes I feel like a nut job on a soapbox screaming Bush v Gore and down with the electoral college and 14.3. Thank you gentlemen. You give us hope.
Thank you, Marc and Rep. Raskin for all of your leadership, courage, and expertise. I feel encouraged! I live in NC, and I was a poll greeter yesterday for the Wake County Dems for the start of Primary early voting. So many people approached us for information on Democratic candidates, and also to volunteer with our efforts. Hardly any people stopped at the Republican booth. We are also fortunate to have a talented young person, Anderson Clayton, as the North Carolina Democratic Chairperson. She is a dynamo and is working around the clock, county by county, especially college campuses to build up voter turnout. I have HOPE!
Thank you for your comments. I moved from NC (Chapel Hill) to upstate NY in September of 2016 and felt so guilty for taking my Democratic vote to a state that, I thought, didn't need it. As it turns out, even here in NY, I am surrounded by Trump supporters and right-wing MAGA conspiracy theorists, so I feel like my vote matters - especially in local and primary elections. Thank you as well for the work you do for Wake County, our dear neighbors 😊🙏🕊🫶⚖️🗽🇺🇸
Thank you, Marc!!! Your interview of Representative Raskin was wonderful!!! I wish I was 50 years younger and could participate in his Democracy Summer!!!
Everything that's happening concerning maga and Trump in our justice system is ridiculous! If any other American were to threaten court staff & witnesses or talk about the case publicly as a criminal defendant the way that Trump does, they would be immediately locked up! Not to mention that anyone else would probably be locked up and denied bail on the first place. I really hate how all of these judges seem afraid to hold Trump accountable and treat him like they would anybody else! Giving him special treatment is just emboldens him further, Trump feels like he's above the rules because he has been for a long time.
@@joycemanning9755wow, educate yourself! President Biden has. Long list of accomplishments in case you don’t know! Republicans Party is no more, it belongs to a criminal, Liar, sexual abuser, impeached insurrection fomenter! Read Project 2025! It terrifies!
Yes, and there’s prejudgment interest which is about $10 million in the Carrol case and about another $150 million in the NY civil fraud trial. So we’re over a half a billion and are approaching 600 million! So , Justice is served on a silver platter to the man who won’t be king.
I appreciate the sentiment, but getting rid of Trump will Not fix the problem of republican neo-fascist Putin-loving extremists that were there, Before Trump came along. They will look at Trump prosecution as a call to arms, so delays in his prosecution are actually good for the country, democracy, and the rule of law, so the case will be beyond any reasonable doubt.
It makes me very happy that Representative Raskin is still teaching. Teaching other places than in the House, that is, though that is vitally important. 😁
This is a great listen for me today, thank-you! It has been my belief that, no matter how bad we (Americans) may have neglected our political health, we can, through cross party networking, revive hope for Democracy.❤ Let's start now and make it happen. 👣
Democracy Summer, what a great thing. I will post and encourage students to join!! Thank you to both of you. Rep. Raskin, you are so awesome. Both of you are.
Jamie Raskin- MY HERO! Thank you, Mark, for this interview. I feel there is hope for us as a democracy yet, with you leading the charge and keeping us informed!
If you want your tax money used to feed people who are here illegally, by all means vote blue, if you want our government to keep going letting illegals come in not vetting anyone, your going to loose the country as you know it. Wake up people.
😂😂😂😂 yeah I hate how he mandated shots how he tells us that we can’t use our gas stove that we can’t drive gas cars but if we don’t vote for him we’re not black. Oh wait sorry that was Biden the dictator.
Thank you Rep. Raskin! We can no longer rely of a President, a Senator, or a Representative being honest or honorable. We do need new laws and/or policies that prohibit this type of lawless behavior.
@@nancygibson604Liberals never put people interest first..... It is Ukraine first, illegal immigrants first, elites first, China first, liberals first ...
Usually Mr. Elias is authorative and sure of himself, when discussing law with, for example, Brian Taylor Cohen! Here he is almost tentative and dutifully sets up Rep. Raskin to explain law. That just shows how highly he values the expertise and opinion of his guest!
Being an interviewer and being the interviewed are two very different roles. Thanks for pointing out that Mark is very skilled in both, just as Jamie is.
The aid to Ukraine is weapons. We send them weapons we already have, but then need money to replace our supplies. They are made in US. If we don't have money to replace, then we don't want to shorten our supply. Make sense? Other countries in NATO are doing the same. But, North Korea is supplying Russia. I don't know if China or anyone else is. I don't know if this will effect the security w/ NATO, but if you saw a country whose ex President was still in control of their Congress & their honor is w/ Russia & they're not removing them from power & arresting them for espionage how would you feel about that country? I have a feeling the US doesn't look too good right now & since judges aren't willing to arrest tRump, until he's arrested, that opinion isn't going to improve. 💙🙀😾💙
Yes! Sickening that the moron cult reps you mentioned are equal in voting power to someone as smart as Jamie Raskin. Maybe Ben Franklin anticipated that the idea of the people choosing would inevitably allow the people to vote for idiots as well as leaders.
Aren't they all Congress people? Not that it really matters but I feel like being in the Senate is a little bit more prestigious than being in Congress.
The three of them and a few others don't hold a candle to Jamie Raskin. They are the equivalent of toddlers trying to have a conversation with a college professor. In plain English, they're dopes.
I agreed with you Gracie but not only Raskin there's 2 or 3 more and let's be honest Biden is running out of gas, after two virus, one insurrection a divide country word wide inflation at least a B he deserve. Drump is nothing but a wana be Dictator, open your eyes America. Love from Borinquen.
I love this! ❤ Rep. Raskin. People do not understand the establishment of government, foundational, historically, how government stands as a mediator. We need a basic understanding that government cannot effectively be run “as a business” because this is a conflict of human rights interests.
Is there no law that enables the DOJ to charge Trump for violating the emoluments clause? Is such a law necessary? Surely the constitution is, by default, a type of law or equivalent in heft to law?
Merrick Garland could charge Trump for violating the emoluments clause! Biden needs to replace him ASAP because he has failed pretty miserably when it comes to prosecuting Trump for his crimes. Him waiting years to do anything until it was clear that he was running for president again only gave the right more ammunition - it's more plausible to claim that it's simply a political prosecution! It kind of is, if Trump had just gone away, I believe that they wouldn't have prosecuted him. What MAGA doesn't understand is even if it is politically motivated, he's still GUILTY as hell! Those in power, like Garland, just get very uncomfortable when it comes to holding fellow elites accountable. He didn't want to have to go after Trump but by running again - he forced his hand. We all predicted that he was going to run again so he should have done it immediately! I am so sick of watching these politicians and people in the justice system continue to make these shortsighted mistakes that just embolden Trump in the right even further!
I don't think you have any clue whatsoever you were talking about. It sounds like you are copying someone else's question from somewhere else because your comment makes no sense whatsoever
That headline alone has me completely spasmodic 😳 😢 😰 We cannot let Drumpf within a thousand miles of the WH ... he will open the door for Putin and our entire 'allbeit broken' system will collapse. Go visit a former USSR country and tell me how well that went!
Tucker Carlson did and seemed to love it, here's an idea Tucker, why don't you stay there and wait for Donnie once he flees the country with his I'll gotten cash and documents.
Jamie Raskin is our congressional savior ! Thank you so much for all you do in the name of democracy and for our republic ! The history books will be kind to you in so many ways ! 💙💙💙
