I really appreciate that last thing Swalwell said: that he and people like him and Marc will fight on our behalf... but when we're ready we need to join 'cause they need us on their team.
People, Elected Representatives & the Law...a cord of 3 strands is not broken...Ecclesiastes 4:12
When, as acountry, will we stand up to this disgusting FELON? WHAT IS HE DOING FOR THE POEPLE?
@@jarcata1nothing … he doesn’t care anything about the people unfortunately… if you read project 2025 … he only wants to steal the money from the treasury…. Along with the other republicans and thugs and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Russians aren’t involved…. because today he lifted the sanctions on them … and kicked out the head of the coast guard …..
Yes, everyone needs to be in on this. That's the only way authoritarian governments fall.
It is pretty critical for as many people as possible to speak out as soon as possible - even taking small steps is great!
This transition is moving at unbelievable speed.
The longer we are silent, the harder to overcome that inertia.
The leaders who are speaking on our behalf need assurance & protections of wide-spread support.
Perhaps more leaders & representatives will find their resolve if they know the vast majority of citizens are behind them.
Keep calling representatives! Many cabinet picks are essentially Russian assets.
No question that Mitch McConnell plunged the dagger into the heart of democracy, our Constitution, and our rule of law.
Not just Mitch, add in many seated in Supreme Court, & many MSM
@@312karenyeah but Mitch had that moment to put Donald Trump in his place. He alone decide not to
more than once. SCOTUS
@@312karen that's his SCOTUS. first he stole one by denying Obama's choice a vote, then he forced another one onto the court while an election was already happening.
His legacy will truly suck!
Thank you Mark Swallwell and Marc Elias for ALL YOU DO! I am in the fight as well in my corner of WNC!
Two men I admire greatly. Thank you both for all that you're doing to serve the people.
They didn’t never have much say about the Biden crime family
From the Netherlands ... I agree and doe also !
You mean serve the Chinese
Don ‘the Don’ Trump sez, “ Youse guys do what I sez or Vito’s gonna come visit…..🎩🇺🇸
You gotta get out more these guys have 💩 for brains
Thank Goddess you Two are onboard to save our country from the evil fascists. Thank You!
God bless you both. You give me hope. With you two fighting the good fight others joining in we will win. Thank you
Evil FELON
DELUSIONAL MARXIST SOCIALIST DEMOCRAPS
Surely verifying, you cant fix stupid. Too much mainstream media, Woke Star? Try some, Why i left the Left video or Meygan Kelly. JFK Democrat, I voted for President Trump because i didnt want to see Girls getting the Sh...t beat out of them by trans men in boxing on TV. Why be a Woke enabler. Glad the Left Lost. So? Why not give our Party back!
I loooooove that you said “thank Godess”….purrrrrrrrrrrr
I will always support Eric solwell. He's got my vote.For the rest of my life
Glad you support Congressman SWALWELL :-)
Even when he goes to prison for helping Chinese spy?he will need commissary for life 👍he’s lucky you’ll buy him prison commissary for life😊though
@@RickyTickyTaffy-z1i PROVE IT!
Swallwell sold out his country for a piece of a. Wake up
I have been screaming from the rooftops for four years now that this is absolutely Mitch McConnells fault. Let's give Mitch what he deserves and brand him for what is happening to our country. He should own this. Keep screaming from the rooftops and make this Mitch McConnell's legacy!
Yes,he backed off & allowed a felon to become a traitor.
He also stacked the court.
I will never forgive him for misuse of power. It was constant when he was at his game. An evil SOB.
That f****r has a stroke on national tv and youd think that was a sign , moscow mitch !! The party is over. Youd have to break power from his cold dead hands.
@@TeriDombalagian
I agree with you. Unfortunately he wears his shame as badge of honor. The best we can do to him is erase him he’s nothing.
I remember how heartbreaking it was to see that even tho the 2nd case for impeachment was brilliantly executed, and the rebuttal was a sloppy joke, it didn't succeed. Mitch McConnell will go down in history as one of the early and most vile actors in this crisis. Thank you for all your good work Rep. Swalwell.
I had hoped he would stand against Trump this time - but he seems to have become a hostage as well.
Let's not forget his inventing rules to appointing SCOTUS resulted in the devastation of women's rights 🤬
His own fault!@@amyw1850
McConnell is the primary person who to blame because of recent days chaos. If he did the right thing as he took the oath to protect constitution, Americans would not be suffering right now.

Thanks sincerely Marc, Democracy Docket, Congressman Swalwell. We all HAVE to be in this fight. We have no choice.
We gotta keep looking after each other.
We can defeat this injustice.
We defeated injustice. You buddies with Jose Ibarra? You will be deported.
Trump/Vance🇺🇸💪
Injustice is Usaid and 40 Trillion Dollar in debt the Biden criminal cartel run up
Call your Senator and Representative.
So terrible that Trump has saved the American ppl 5 trillion so far. Oh boo hoo
We can. Speak out
Please keep up the great work. We all appreciate what you’re doing. As far as I’m concerned you are both heroes
Yes, overcoming this will require many heroes.
Eric S & Mark A consistently stand up for the rule of law. For that reason life is a little less grey!

You and Eric are true defenders. I appreciate and look to you for your leadership at this time.

Thank you Eric Swalwell for fighting for us in Congress, and I will do my part as an American, to fight for our country at this time.

Excellent show!
that you dumb people exist is so funny. there's so few of you and you believe there are many 😂😂
Wrong side of history.
Fighting an lose each one. ! What are you part ? You have you chance. You voted and you lost big time 😊
We are with u Eric ...U make us proud .Keep up the good work we got ur back 👍💯
Mark, Im not from or in America, Im subscribed to your channel and must say I admire Eric Swalwell and love watching him at committee meetings. He directs truths to Republicans and no fear of calling them out
thx!~ please push your leaders to push our conservative leaders to bend, bcuz after eight years of conservatives pushing the narrative into increasing falsehoods and lies, and backing that up with implicit threats of violence from tens of thousands of paramilitary/militia types (precise analysis of that is taboo for press to discuss here! and federal and state law enforcement say nothing in detail), we are in a truely fraught situation. These extremists have been successful in convincing enough moderately professional individuals to attempt to subert our legally-bound gvt system and so forth. We need any insights that our peer nations have to give us. It helps tremendously simply to have that outside view! I'm centrist liberal and it helped me just to read Roban Horsfhal's little paragraph last week re us visavis europe and strategic stability within europe.
Is this Fang Fang????????
Thank you for your intelligent reporting and your activism! I appreciate you and your channel.

This was great Mark. This conversation was inspiring to say the least. This Congressman has his voters front and center 😊.
Thank you for everything you do Mark!
Congressman Eric Swalwell was inspiring. I'm a Democracy Docket and Democracy Forward supporter, so I'm in the fight as well. I am an academic researcher and I'm in the fight to support the NIH and academia.
Same on all of that.
thank you for your important work.

Christmas came early, it was on Nov.5th when Libtards got their ass handed to them.🤣😂🤣😂
I respect you both. Thank you!
Thank you both for your fortitude to speak truth in the face of your own safety. I called my rep Andrew Clyde’s office which I know is futile, but my closing statement was a reminder he might be the next unemployed because Congress is being made irrelevant. We’re supporting Democracy Forward in their fight in the courts. It feels so inadequate to 80-somethings so we’re always listening for what else we can do.
Than you Marc! Thank you Rep Swalwell (from CA-8)! 💙

Thank You Both!
Please keep helping us- We The People!
I salute Eric Swalwell for his opinion and action to preserve our Democracy. Thanks Marc for the interview with Eric Swalwell
are you making a NAZI salute?
How sad it has taken so long for Swalwell to be listened to with such attention…he is a national treasure, and a hero….i fear for his wellbeing from now until the dawns early light.
we need to fight not admiration.
What a positive message Representative Swalwell left us with! He is a true American who cares about ALL of us and is willing to work for ALL of us. I only hope trumpies are listening to Eric’s message and can finally see that our salvation as a country depends on men & women like rep. swalwell. God bless this dear man. 🙏💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
What do you need trumpists ? Do yo haven't enough farleftist ,democrats .LGBT 's ,protesters ? 😂😂😂😂
It was a combination of Mitch McConnell and Merrick Garland that put us in this place.
And power hungry people
And misinformed and ignorant voters
and America not waking up to all the holes in their justice system and dealing with it immediately after Trump's first term in office. This slow and planned destruction of your democracy has been going on since Reagan and has gone into warp-speed with Trump, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and the Heritage Foundation and Citizens United and this ugliness has spread through all levels of your government.
Thank you, Marc for all you do. You are one of democracy's heroes. Eric Swalwell is a rare gem. Please, sane Americans loyal to the Constitution, stick together, protect and help each other and never give up. You've moved the needle from Germany 1933 to 1938. It stops NOW.
Stand strong for truth and democracy.
I would love Merrick Garland to come forward and explain why he didn’t take action against Trump. I really am completely baffled. I kept thinking that he was using his best legal judgment and going to jump in at some point because he had more information or a better vantage point about all these legal cases against Trump. Right now, I’m just left feeling that he was too scared to look political to come down harder on Trump and all these other criminals who tried to steal an election in 2020. I wish he would do an interview, write a memoir quickly - something to explain to us why we are in the horrible position we are right now with a felon as our president and a megalomaniac trillionaire destroying our government agencies and stealing our private information and a crew of Christian nationalist fascists sitting in the wings waiting to impose a theocracy on our country, and thousands of hard-working United States citizens losing their jobs because Trump wants to use the money from their salaries to give tax cuts to billionaires and millionaires.
And those who just didn't give a damn! And of course DT’s BBF Putin.
Thank you both for your commitment to democracy.
🇺🇸💙🙏💙🇺🇸
Mark, thank you! you have a gift for asking the questions I truly want answers to! You focus on the heart of the issue, exploring all sides with depth and clarity. Your emotion shows you get it, while your intelligence drives the solution. It’s like you’re speaking my thoughts out loud, and I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I appreciate you more than words can say-thank you!
I love Eric Swalwell
I am ready and stand with Eric and Marc

The judges could help little a little more than they r!
Republicans are not scared. They look like a bunch of stepford wives or stepford men! I do not see any emotion from these republicans. Just a smug attitude towards all and the people that vote for them they don't care about them either.
Thank you for saying it out loud. I been saying it. He needs to be removed, musk too
Musk is dangerous and doesn't work for the people of the United States. He should NOT be allowed near any department of our government.
We will fight for you justice will prevail
Thank you, Marc. Always a distinct pleasure to hear from "Eric, the honest". 😉
Eric is one our best representatives. Thank you for the conversation.
Getting down with a Chinese spy. Great for America
Thank you Congressman Swalwell for staying in the fight.
What a great podcast! Congressman Swalwell's leadership, compassion, and fight make me very proud to be a Californian.
I'm a coloradoan but feel Swalwell is speaking for me and as he says, we are not helpless and we will fight back. Joe Neguse is my rep in congress and I like him too
No person should sell out their country
The Biden Administration sold out our Country but President Trump is back and BS is over. Trump/Vance🇺🇸💪
The list is growing of people willing to sell out our country for delusional thinking and greed!!!
Don't they know that the more of them that hold out against this fascism the easier it is and the better off all of them will be?
