I’m on CNN — we’re off and running with first few results from smaller rural KY and IN counties.

Surely there has to be something sensible between piers Morgan and MSNBC?

How is MSNBC not sensible?

Tell me the lies they tell. Just because the Overton window shifted four miles to the right doesn’t mean centre left (if we can call anything Left in the US) is now far left or full of falsehoods.

Brian Cox is a hero.

Accidentally sits on remote to turn over.

They need to shut Alexander the Grift up so she can get a word in. She'll probably make more sense.

So you have self elected yourself to know what is better for everyone because you are have been "trained" as as economist, without for a second knowing what other people do.

No he knows when someone is talking bollocks about the price of goods and/or the rate of inflation across different jurisdictions and how much power a government has to control that inflation, when it’s occurring globally.

So you have self elected yourself to know what is better for everyone because you are have been "trained" as as economist, without for a second knowing what other people do.

I know when economic narratives are based on half-truths and outright falsehoods that violate how the economy actually works and how similar policies have played out in the past.

I don’t actually think it takes being a trained economist to see the entire Trump (and MAGA) platform is comprised of them. But if you don’t care about what experts have to say on the matter (and I am referring to the much more esteemed economists, not myself), then I am not sure how we can have a discussion about it.

And you didn’t answer my question.

Brian Cox is a hero.

Seems to cut through the bullshit with real clarity, specially on live tv. I like him.
