I am shocked you and Mark haven't covered more in depth on the influence of the IDU and Stephen Harper and the connection to Roman on the Trump indictments. The IDU is having their people try and subvert democracy in multiple countries including helping Trump in the US. This should be massive news that gets shouted from the rooftops!!!
Any man who keeps pictures of his beloved dogs in the background is my kind of man. He must be a good man. He speaks the truth.
Have done
Funny how at exactly @09:11 Lawyer Mark Elias was stumbling over his words that he wanted to say as you know he was speaking the truth so hard they couldn't come out fast enough. Yes, this election, if Trump wins and the Senate and House isn't 60% Democrat America's Democracy will be torpedoed by Authoritarianism. They will force so many new anti Democratic rules through there will never be a fair and true Democratic election ever again. It will be just like Russia's elections where Putin wins by 95% or like a North Korea or Chinese life time family appointment as the countries leader. Seriously, do Republican's even have a conscience? They are actin like ruthless bloodlust megalomaniacs with delusions of godhood. Supporting a Russian like country for themselves? For what? Money? Using prostitutes to manipulate people of power to make decisions because they accept that's how business is done or will be blackmailed to keep the sex acts under wraps. That's how and why Jeffery Epstein came into being. Not just perversion but as a tool of leverage to benefit the rich and make slaves of everyone else. Cheap labor and low taxes if any. That's what manipulating the courts is really all about. The rich have always wanted this make no mistake about it. The Rich are cold and calculating, malevolent crude and goal oriented. Authoritarians have had unprecedented success doing this throughout time. "That's the way it's been for the past million years, unfortunately or fortunately." That's the conversation Trump had at some time in his past when they convinced him to run for president. That's why he said that in the hearing a few months ago. He was remembering. Stars can grab them by the yoohoo for the past million years? There are no records about stars for a million years but authoritarians can go right back to the apes. Keep in mind there are bigger fish to fry. That is, if you can convince Americans Trump is just the spearhead of this endeavor. Probably originated in Russia when he had his beauty pageants there. Probably where the conversation was 1st discussed. Trump kept away from running for President before. He simply needed to be assured he would keep his ass out of prison for all his crimes. He needed a way and someone explained it to him. Sure wasn't his lawyers with all their hair brained legal delays. Of course that is one of the tools for success but they didn't cover all the bases. Judge Merchan is pushing this case forward no matter what. Judge Chutkin must be quaking in her robe afraid to do a an interlocutory appeal. However, she did rule against former President Donald Trump’s immunity claim. Now the case is stopped waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on the decision. She could have refused to allow Trump to appeal or allow for an interlocutory appeal like Judge Merchan did. He's not holding the case waiting right? Judge Cannon clearly is beholden to Trump being appointed green like she was. Nobody doubts that but nothing is done about it. That is stupid considering the stakes. HELLO JACK SMITH... WHERE ARE YOU? The Colorado Judge McAfee isn't pushing the Fani Willis case allowed for the case to be stopped dead before the election. He has an election on May 21st to continue to be a judge claiming he is bipartisan. Is that playing a role allowing Trump too much judicial preference? Fani Willis was dating someone she hired? Nothing proven but McAfee is letting that go on and on stepping on her claiming the system is prejudice against nonwhites as she spoke at her church. It's true but McAfee doesn't like it having anything to do with him probably. She didn't say it was anything to do with him but there's that election he needs to win. Colorado is a slim majority Democratic State and why they tried to over turn the election there. That and it is a key State. Seems stupid to me. Everything is so obviously malicious but the courts allow for Trump and the GOP to hold up justice with obvious delays. VOTE BLUE OR BECOME A SLAVE 80% OF YOU AMERICANS. THAT'S JUST OBVIOUS.
Hallelujah! Good move toward strengthening democracy!
Amen 💙💙💙💙
Thank goodness 💙😇🙏
Except the United States is a Constitutional Republic. No where in the Constitution says anything about democracy that's because that's not the form of Government in the USA. Why do democrats always want that's illegal?
We can't take Democracy for granted anymore! Vote Blue 2024!!! 💙💙🌊
What is democracy???
@@tspain7355 You're online, look it up. And while you're at it, brush your tooth.
@@tspain7355 It's a country governed by the people for the people and not a Monarchy dictatorship like North Korea.
First vote blue then vote out the corrupt in the party.
@tspain7355 where do you live?
I love my Blue State Minnesota and our Gov. Walz.💪💙💙💙
Thank you People of Minnesota! Loving our Democracy 💙📫🗳️🇺🇸
"Elections have consequences." Minnesota is not a swing state any more! Great work Democrats for saving Democracy!
It never was lol
Elections do have consequences. Trump is within 5 points in the deepest Blue State of NY. And Biden is in Florida believing he has a chance to win there. Biden is stupid. Trump can win all 50 States in November because as you say, elections have consequences, and Joe Biden is the worst President in American history as we all know. 38% approval is all the man can get up to.
@@tspain7355 I just saw the latest Siena College information for General Presidential election polls in April. 47-37 to Biden. What poll are you looking at?
@@Free.Clear3802 Then you better look at the real polls then, cause that is not what any poll says in the least. Try again. Stop making garbage up to make yourself feel better. Biden is at 38% approval and under water on every issue. I know that. You know that too.
We have never been a presidential or national swing state... Our state may change between the two parties occasionally, but never on the national level
Gotta vote, BLUE, baby 💙 Lets flip these red states 💙
🎉 Add a reply Nicole Villeneuve 1372 😂 public
Agree and turn them blue 24 💙🎉
Absolutely agree 💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙
No
Save Democracy In America For Future Generations Vote Blue PPL!!
Big Shout out for Minnesota VOTE BLUE FOR AMERICA 🇺🇸 VOTE BLUE FOR WOMENS HEALTHCARE CHOICES 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Bravo Minnesota & women voters best wishes from United Kingdom 💙🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴🇺🇦
Please pass it fast in Ohio. I'm sick and tired of my vote never being counted because I vote in favor for policies that help the country, not the olicharche.
Oligarchy.
@@IntelligentArtefact You knew what they meant.
your vote is always counted unless the MAGA GOP held up voter suppression by not submitting ballots. Please continue to vote this is the only way we can get the lying corrupt GOP voted out
@@TimeLord675 Always blows my mind when people take offense to innocuous corrections. Especially when they obviously aren't typos. That's a gift. Not an insult. The only embarrassment comes from acknowledging that you made a mistake. But why be embarrassed for being human? And mistakes inform us of an opportunity to learn. Treasure them!
What are you talking about? How is your vote not counted? Just curious.
Great news Minnesota💙
I live in Minnesota.......
@@jondearehello from Illinois 💙💙💙
I’m from NH! Way to go Minnesota!💎💙💙💙
Minnesota leading the way lately!! This is awesome! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Agree Minnesota is awesome 💙💙💙💯
No it's not
@@GrantBeniford enlighten us
@Pherram1 Minnesota is full of a holes. Most of them are racist. The streets smell like piss. The crime rate is too high. Drugs everywhere. The education system sucks. Homeless people on every corner, and it's way too close to Canada.
@@GrantBeniford Save some tears for Trump's conviction. You're going to need them.
No one ever talks about Oregon but in this state our legislature actually passed campaign finance reform this session. They passed several bipartisan bills because they know voters run this state. If they don't do their job, the voters will put similar legislation on the ballot through the initiate process. We have a very democratic form of government that is transparent and works because the voters are very involved in the process of government. We have a lot to lose if Trump gets in there. He hates the blue states and wants to punish them. I don't want to see democracy go backwards here or nationally. Let's get this monster where he belongs, IN JAIL.
We must overturn Citizens United!
Oregon has ALWAYS been cool in my opinion!!
There are many great Unions that help pass great ballot measures and defeat worse ballot measures.
Oregon rocks!
Thank you for informing. 💙
Thank you Marc Elisas for the heroic work you and your firm are doing. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Great news is ALWAYS ENCOURAGING. Thank you Brian and Marc for fighting for our DEMOCRACY in real time. VOTE BLUE
Fantastic News! You guys & the work you do give this 72 year old, lifelong FDR Democrat, stuck in the state of FL (!), HOPE! God bless you both. Thank you for your service! Hey everybody, do the right thing. VOTE BLUE! 💙
I'm 73 and I'm stuck in Alabama. Yes, Vote Blue because our lives depend on it!
WE THE PEOPLE MUST VOTE BLUE TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY !!!
Do not fear Florida will again become the Blue state it once was. I have a house in Florida yes my main residence. There is a Hugh community that can help LGBTQ+ as Florida has been the community for a long time. Plus Gen Z .
No you are a communist.
@@jimward204 Biden has made everything worse. And you want more that???
Thank you for fighting for voting rights!!! Please Americans vote blue for the freedoms we need for everyone!!!💙💪👍
Sounds like Minnesota is a good place to move to. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Moved here 34 years ago (St Paul)...from NYC. No regrets.
Way to go Minnesota let's keep flipping these red States Biden' got my vote
Thank you Brian and Mark for all you do for democracy
❤️🤍💙
You guys are unbelievably re******. But its funny to me so im enjoying myself.
@@beastlydevil777 I'm just looking out for someone that's going to look out for me and Donald Trump it's not the one
@@beastlydevil777 Lmao subbed to Rudy Giuliani, you're as smooth brained as they come.
Make the entire country blue. GOP needs to be gone.
Well, there needs to be checks and balances. We need another party or two to remain a democratic society, but not what they (GOP) are offering presently.
@@dannmarceau9743 Obviously, the Democrats should not be the only party in the equation and on the ballot. But the GOP shouldn't be on either of those ever again.
@@dannmarceau9743perfectly stated. Actually looking forward to 2028. No T*ump, Barr, McConnell, MTG, Gaetz, etc. Mainly no T*ump. Actually LEARN from our mistakes. Close the loopholes. ✊🏽We the People 💙
Your whole country shouldn't be all blue. You just need a reasonable balance made up of reasonable opposition.
@@marcelbastiaans8700 the trouble being, the biggest opposition hasn't been reasonable for some time.
You guys are doing a great job, helping save American voting rights
Marc Elias is a National Treasure who works so hard for America. Thank you Sir!!! 💙💙💙
As a Minnesotan, I approve this message!
Michigan has flipped all blue too, Governor and both houses..we need laws like this!
Not according to the latest polls.
Great News! Thank you, Brian and Marc. Thank you, Minnesota. Born and raised in the 612, I have long appreciated that my home state has a long history of welcoming refugee populations. That alone improved my life, personally, by bringing me my friends from Somalia, Vietnam, Sudan and more. However, our recent victories with Governor Walz and his razor-thin majority at the helm, are inspiring, breathtaking. I am both proud and humbled at once. From our children eating free school lunch, offering sanctuary status to LGBTQ+ and abortion rights, empowering our care l-center employees, protecting our voters, I’m missing a bunch, oh! Giving us our legal rec weed. Finally! Minnesota truly is God‘s country. Were there a God. 🙏🏽✌🏽💙 from Minnesota
Vote BLUE when you think you have a healthy functioning brain! ✋💙💙💙🤚
Lol 😄 you know exactly vote blue 💙💙👍🏻
I'm proud to say that I have NEVER voted Republican, and I am 60 years old!
Totally agree 💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙
Vote blue if you hate America
LOL. The Trump virus could never infect my mind.
Though I CHERISH our victories, the BEST victory will be the highest court in the land NOT giving a free pass to the DEVIL INCARNATE!!! Have a great weekend M’Touch Family!!!
They will delay a decision until after the November election… I do not have any faith in SCOTUS… we must VOTE BLUE to save democracy!!
Truth!!!! I’m right there with ya friend.
Real talk 💯
Can we still steal whatever we want and not go to jail? Also get rid of all those annoying police?
Cherish our country. It's been only 250 years, don't let this experiment die with us...Just DON'T. PLEASE
Awesome!! Way to go Minnesota!!! Do us proud!! Xo
It gives hope that the end of this Tunnel-Nightmare will come to an end. 💙💙💙💙 Thank you Mr Elias and BTC
Minnesotans got sick and tired of the GOP shenanigans and have voted Democrat constantly.......KUDOS Minnesota!!!!...Thank you, Brian for the report...We Love you!!!
Thank you my neighbors from Wisconsin!! 💙💙💯
Thank you Minnesota!! ❤😊
Keep up the great work!! We have to fight for our democracy! Drive, walk, crawl to the polls,!
Way to go Minnesota!!! 💙💙💙💙 VOTE blue all the way 2024!!!
I'm from Minnesota and we are NOT a swing state. We are always blue 💙
Lived in MN for 60 of my 66 years and yeah never considered it a swing state.
@@duanedelperdang1749 Maybe a swing state in terms of our state Congress in the past, sure. But not when it comes to our US Senate seats, governor or how we vote for the president.
Even Minnesota has become scary. It’s a fight everywhere.
Thank you all!!!!💙🇺🇸
And state Republican leaders are making themselves look like idiots everyday so...
Congrats to the people of Minnesota. Here in North Carolina, we're hoping things will open up for voters also. 🇺🇸💙✌️
So grateful to be in having my vote do so much good, the Democratic trifecta in Minnesota has been amazing.
The rest of the states need to follow.
Way to go Minnesota!👏🏻
This is amazing news! Thank you Minnesota! 💙🌊 2024 🇺🇸
Need to seriously come to Missouri and get this done here in the awful GOP controlled state. I sent Hawley a petition to vote for the John Lewis Voting Act and his response in sum, he didn’t care about what we the constituents thought he informed me that he voted against it. I responded back to him saying that would help both parties as everyone would be able to vote and he said he voted what he wanted and thought… I reminded him of the reelection in November and I would definitely keep his voting his will come November and I will be voting all 💙 and progressives!!
Hawley--child of privilege. Look around for somebody better.
Unfortunately rural MO LOVES hawley when looking at the MO state voting map only the 3 major cities tend to vote democratic rural areas vote blood red for hawley every time he or some other republican runs.
I am Canadian and after refusing to visit the US because of overturn of Roe and other political issues I will only be travelling to states in the US that are protecting voting rights and aren’t stripping freedoms from women and LGBTQ Americans. I will only support the economy in areas that legitimately support ALL PEOPLE. Not just white straight cis gender Christian Americans.
As a Canadian I totally agree, and have been discussing this with friends and family, most of whom stopped visiting when Trump was elected. We will not be spending our money in any states that are not protecting voting rights and women's reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights. Americans might be surprised how many Canadians feel this way. Thank you for your excellent points. Brian and Marc area great team and great at keeping us informed.
Washington state welcomes you 😊
New York welcomes you! As a US citizen I won’t visit states banning books, overturning women’s rights, too permissive on gun laws, or attacking sexual orientation freedom. Vote Blue💙🇺🇸
Ditto. We 🇨🇦 turned down free Accommodation with our Nephew and his wife, in Florida this past Winter. It’s very unfortunate because we have visited with them before and had a fabulous time together, but…ya…Florida. Not spending money in a State run by a fascist, book-banning troll, who thinks he can treat women like The Handmaid’s Tale. Has anyone checked - I bet DeSatan is keeping the Tourism numbers a secret, cuz I can guarantee you they are down. He is near the end of his term and he will walk away, and leave the Dumpster Fire that is Florida behind him 👿💩🤡
So does California.
There are so many bright, ethical, & good people on the Democratic party!!!💙💙🌊Makes me proud to be a lifelong Democrat!
💯 agree
No the democrats are evil vile liars.
One of the greatest weakness of the American republican system, is that you have politicians appointing Judges. Any comment on saying that any part of the Judiciary has a political leaning is an anathema to true democracy. Most modern democracies have a totally independent Judiciary, that have no need to beholding to elected officials. If you want an unbiased system where the courts uphold the constitution and rule of law without fear or favour then you must allow the Judiciary themselves to appoint people based on individual proficiency and past performance.
True.
IMO every justice should be a well studied constitutional scholar because intended function of the U.S. Supreme Court is merely to interpret the constitution.
Except that the US isnt a democracy it's a form of government called a Constitutional Republic. Democracy isnt Constitutional. Trying finding anything in the US Constitution that makes reference to democracy. The Whole DNC is illegal and needs to be dissolved or disbanded immediately.
I think trump’s court cases is starting to change peoples perspective! For the position!! Vote 💙
Wait until the democrats are finished with Traitor Joe Biden.
Go Minnesota Go!
Despite my belief that Democracy requires 2 strong parties, I believe that we need Democrats elected at all levels of government to get us out of this mess! VOTE💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I think it requires more than two. I think we should repeal the 12th amendment, which would not only end the electoral college but also severely curtail the power of the RNC and DNC, and allow a true multi-party democracy to develop. The 12th amendment is frankly THE REASON we are in the situation we’re in with Trump.
What is democracy???
We must guard against those who seek Power for powers sake. Those types will "be" what they must, to remain in power. We must always pay attention and guard against them.
@@tspain7355 we’re not your librarians. Ask your homeroom teacher for help.
@@tspain7355 You're online, look it up. And while you're at it, brush your tooth.
Minnesota is not a swing state ! They are a blue 💙 state 🇺🇸🗽💙
You are right it's more a Polka state!
Nice. Let's keep going. This is the bare bones. This isn't about Democrat vs Republican. This is about Freedom vs Oppression. 🔵
The Office, Pam says "They're the same picture"
VOTE 🗳️ BLUE DEMOCRAT ALL THE WAY 2024 and beyond so The People can be represented by a group who wants to make the middle and lower class ‘great again’! ☝🏼💙🇺🇸🗳️💙🇺🇸🗳️💙🇺🇸🗳️💙🇺🇸🗳️
and stop giving the big corporations tax breaks and we the people have to make up the difference. EVERYONE should pay their taxes EVERYONE
Democracy, Itself, is literally on the ballot, 2024: Vote a straight True Blue DEMOCRAT Ticket in all mid-terms and for President. Not Independent. Not Republican. NO 3rd PARTY so-called "candidates." VOTE A STRAIGHT TRUE DEMOCRAT TICKET to save our American Democracy. Democrat President Biden 2024! 💙💙💙
💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Also lets turn all the boys into girls and vice versa! Democrats #1💙
You must be drunk
Minnesota! My state!
Hello from Illinois 💙
Same. It isnt a swing state tho lol
We are blue. True Blue. 💙💙💙💙💙
Congratulations
Mine too for my first 22 years of life.
Congratulations Minnesota!🎉💰
What does need to happen this November is we land a Democratic House and Senate on Capitol Hill in DC. Then the lawmakers will be able to change what needs to be done. Vote Blue!!!
If Bidden wins I hope he appoints 3 new SCOTUS justices
Four, but yes.
Increase SCOTUS to 13, enforce term limits and ethics!
13 would be one per district…perfect
One for each District Court.
AND we need real ethics oversight over the SCOTUS...they are ALSO NOT ABOVE THE LAW.
Proud to be from Minneapolis. Wish I was back there
Voting Blue is Voting for Democracy!
This is a victory for Democracy and Freedom not just for Democrats.
Except everything you said is a lie. one Fact is democracy isnt the form of government we have in America. The US is Constitutional Republic. Another Fact is the DNC is unconstitutional and should be disbanded.
Amazing how we have to fight for our democracy. If people don't like sharing and getting along with each other in this country, they need to go live in a country that has a dictator instead of trying to change ours. Their first to flap their mouth and point the finger And I say if they hate it so bad move get the hell out of here but of course they won't because those countries won't have them either!!
I've heard it said that every three or four generations society has to rediscover/fight for democracy again.
Yay Minnesota!
This Congress can’t pass the biscuits, let alone a law. 😡😡
When the Dems are in control, good things happen. Things that would never happen under the far right, and getting even farther right everyday.
Proud to be a Minnesotan!❤
Google is having a little trouble with your "Proud to be Minnesotan" statement. Apparently, Google doesn't think that is English. Perhaps because the statement was American.
Excellent reporting. Yay Minnesota!! Thank you for another good video.
Way to go Minnesota. Thank you for helping to keep our democracy. We don’t want a dictator. 💙💙💙💙🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷💙
Awesome let’s go democracy 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙
Go Minnesota!
Come on Democrats! Keep flipping these seats and let’s get the Red out. Hopefully, Florida will turn purple in this election cycle. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Well done, Minnesota!
XLNT!! Thank you!! GO MINNESOTA!!👏👏👏🔥
Well done Minnesota!!!
All well and good for MN. But voting rights' protections are needed in the rest of the country.
Georgia needs to get this! For a change not be the last to do something good FOR THE PEOPLE ! Also eliminate the right to work act that allows an employer to fire any employee at anytime and not even have to be responsible for the “why”. What an archaic ridiculous and stupid law. I can’t believe the government of Georgia and other states would do something so unamerican and detrimental to the people. Shame on you Georgia!
Patriotic - down with the king
Thank you Marc and BTC💙💙💙🌟🌟🌟
Wonderful news!!!!! Thank you, Brian and Marc for all you do to help us keep our democracy and keep us informed! ❤

Minnesota has always been a leader.
I love living here, Minnesota is amazing.
I live in Illinois. I love ❤️ outdoors stuff , love cold weather and snow ❄️. If I move, I'd only move to Minnesota 💙🗽🇺🇸
@@fiyahspinnah Me too. After the Wisconsin gerrymandering, I think MN should redraw districts so the Democrats pick up a couple seats, and put AOC in a republican district.
Agree Blue Minnesota 24 😊💙💙💯
let us guide you. to the purple rain.
May Minnesota be a shining example for Midwestern states. I hope more Wisconsin Democrats are able to be elected to more seats in the Wisconsin State Senate and in the Wisconsin State Legislature. Wisconsin has lost its way. It used to be a decent purple state, but actions by Wisconsin Republicans have suppressed democracy in Wisconsin.
Hopefully WI will stay sufficiently conservative to continue drawing refugees from there
I really appreciate people like this guy who are fighting for our democracy.
Proud of my home state.
Well done!

WAY TO GO, MINNESOTA! You are HEROES! 💙💙💙
Yeah! I'm proud to be from Minnesota.
Mark is the best .
That's wonderful 😊
Bravo to the Minnasota Democrats!
The people are just tired of maga. Vote Blue all the way mn.
It’s just a winning streak for Democrats as usual. Where all the Trumpers at when they say: “LeT’s Go BrAnDoN”?? 😂😂😂😂😂
They're letting out those MAGA tears because they can't get over the fact that people are tired of Trump and MAGA.
Thank you, JESUS We will have a blue wave
Amen 🙏🏻💙💙💙💙
NO... a blue tsami 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Boy are they going to be sorry
Jesus had absolutly nothing to do with this... "Jesus" is a Republican, empowers mentally degranged ideals/acts "cUz JeBuz sPoKe tO mE". The world needs to GROW the FUCK UP and ditch the imaginary friend shtick
