1. Thank you! Was looking for this.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. You're more than welcome

I try to post this every week - for those who are interested, but can't stay up or don't have HBO or TV.

[BigmanPigman]

14. Why don't they allow people to record the panel discussion each week?

[Rhiannon12866]

22. That's a good question, I don't know why that isn't available on the site

For awhile they were only making 4 videos available, but this time they included the "funny bit" about Jared Kushner, yet inexplicably left out the interview with Fareed Zakaria which often includes the panel. But I choose the official videos since they won't disappear like the home recordings do.

23. I go to You Tube right after the show is over but before the next day

if I can. People sometimes post the whole thing there but they are always deleted within a few hours it seems. I am grateful you post them here.

[Rhiannon12866]

24. Well, that's why I started posting these

Back in the day, someone always posted the show in V&M, but with a warning that it wouldn't be up for long. So I started posting the official versions - it's not the complete show (no panel discussion), but I know it won't disappear.

3. Andrew Gillum

My VP pick. Need florida, and they are gonna be crooked as hell.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. He was the one I was most interested in seeing on this show

He's just excellent and I agree we need him now - I believe he should have won the governor's race, but national office is just fine with me, too.

[Corgigal]

5. I remember who

he met with after the Miami debate. Depends who wins the democratic primary. He should be a top pick, either way.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Good point, but actually two of the current candidates have supported him in the past

[SunSeeker]

6. Yes, he'd be great.

[Warpy]

7. Uh, Bannon? Two thoughts

j. Whoa, spot the loony!

2. Steve? Speed kills.

[LittleGirl]

9. He got a zinger

In on Bannon at the end. “I wished we had someone as evil as you ( Bannon) on our side.”
Ouch

[usaf-vet]

10. Good Saturday Morning. Thanks for another first cup of coffee glow.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. And Good Morning to you!

It was a pretty good show, aside from Steve Bannon. I was pleased that they included the funny bit about Jared Kushner...

[tomhagen]

12. why does our side keep playing by the rules?

[Rhiannon12866]

17. Steve Bannon was insufferable, no big surprise, but I thought New Rules was exceptional

[Gidney N Cloyd]

13. Bannon is a filibustering loon.

And I'd bet he's well aware that you don't have to be right about anything as long as you can hold the floor.

[BigmanPigman]

15. I could only make it 2/3 through the interview.

I was going to have a heart attack if he didn't just shut the fuck up for Bill to speak for 10 seconds in a row.

[JudyM]

16. It was hard to watch, yech. But worth it... his points about Michigan/Wisconsin and populism were

more honest, ironically, than what is owned up to among friends here.
Still, he will go down in the annals as one of the more destructive forces of our democracy.

[Uncle Joe]

18. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon.

[Rhiannon12866]

19. Thanks, Uncle Joe!

You're more than welcome! I thought that New Rules was exceptional this week!

[Uncle Joe]

20. I thought the same.

[Rhiannon12866]

21. Everyone is focusing on Steve Bannon, but we already knew what he is

New Rules was the best part of the show, but I also liked the funny bit about Jared Kushner.
