Hey guys! I've known Rahm (Ambassador Emanuel, I should say!) for a long time, so it was great to sit down with him for this interview--it was one of the most honest and thoughtful conversations I've had in a long time. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Americans have been too complacent. The weakness of our country.

This interview is the first sign of reason and hope that I have heard since DT entered office. Thanks Katie and Rham.

This is a great interview. I’m from small town rust belt USA . I can confirm mass amounts of people here adore, worship, DT. It is alarming and shocking to me. This has been informative. It’s been hard to hold on to hope. It’s hard to trust anyone. Why are we dumbing down education? We need School house Rocks and public education support. Let’s make that happen. We need the urgency to support education and the arts.

Rahm is absolutely correct in the disastrous way our government handled the COVID crisis.

I pray the Democratic Party can present these issues as strong as is being spoken here….

Loved this interview. I'm a Chicago Dem so you know where my heart lies. As much as I feel JB Pritzger has done a commendable job as our governor I don't think he would be my first choice for a candidate in 28. I would hope Adam Kinzinger will throw his hat in the ring in 28, I would put my vote behind him. This nightmare we are living through right now will end soon. Trump is a very unhealthy 78-year-old and I don't see him finishing the present term, at least I hope not!! This country needs unity again, not division!!
