Did Anyone Watch Rachel Maddow Interviewing Fareed Zakaria on her Show ?

[JI7]

I wasn't paying attention closely since I was busy but I heard a bit where they were talking about Reagan doing damage with saying Government is the problem and I guess they were getting into a discussion about what Government can do. But I was busy with other things and wasn't able to watch it all at the time.

I'm hoping someone can post the entire interview online somewhere.

1. I took the night off. Need to recharge my outrage batteries.

Listening to music and thanking God I am alive.

[Lock him up.]

2. I did.

I highly recommend everyone to watch it if it's posted in the Video & Multimedia forum.

The part where Zakaria quoted the Bolton book where he said he never saw anyone actually working (as in doing any work) in the Oval Office when he was there was telling.

12. Looks like YouTube

Took the Rachel video down. It was originally 50mins with the fall guys at the end. Sorry about that.

5. I saw it.

Recommended if someone can find it. Discussed Fareed's new book Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World.

Yes, among the topics was how the U.S. government isn't what it used to be. Personally I think that's mainly due to greedy Republicans wanting to prevent government from doing anything as a public service that they and their pals could do for maximum profit instead. Reagan basically told them to go for it.

6. Interesting...

... about Reagan and his saying "Government is the problem!" That worked for him, and most people saw him as an ex-actor from a California ranch. Reagan was GEVERNMENT... even before he was President. And, before that he was better in politics than acting - he was in SAG. He once was a "Reagan Democrat". It reminds me of how GWB portrayed himself as a "Washington outsider" from his Texas ranch. He was a Washington INSIDER!

... oh well, a tangent, I know...

7. Same as politicians who've been in office for decades saying they're "outsiders" and

"revolutionaries."

Trump, although he wasn't elected, had run for office before: "In recent years, both the Trump campaign and the mainstream media have portrayed Trump as a political neophyte or outsider, but nothing could be further from the truth. Trump sought elected office for thirty years. He ran for president in 2000, 2012, and 2016, and he nearly ran in 1988 and 1996."

From Sarah Kendzior's "Hiding in Plain Sight."

11. I've hated Raygun for decades. He paved the road for the Orange Shitweasle.
