Diana West is a hidden jewel. Excellent in every way. Must read all her books.

[@2packs4sure]

Yeah,,, well put,, how in the hell have I never heard of her ?

This woman is a national treasure. You don't see journalism like this, very seldom. Keep shining the light in the darkness. Good information.

[@joesphx19]

Ms. West is a brilliant journalist and writer. She is among the very few that will give us the truth, even if that truth is unpleasant. A truly amazing lady.

[@chriswilder100]

Diana West is a brilliant woman !

[@tonydialsr7190]

Diana West is a great writer, she has a rare insight into what is happening today. Her book American Betrayal gives great information concerning the state of American government and the Russian infiltration of the State Department and parts of the Roosevelt government during the new deal.

[@lonnyself3920]

spot on most the time

[@rogerdodger5415]

Diana West is really something! She is giving me the bigger picture of what has really been happening. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@kevin8poison142]

Me too.Discovered her tonight.Watched 3hrs of her in 3 vids in a row.About to look for more of her.

[@keithchapman1477]

Only came across a few weeks and she is good, helped me to connect a few dots....

[@janicemccann1733]

Very good interview. I appreciate a host that asks good questions and who will allow the time for a thoughtful response. Very informative. And I thank Diana West for sharing her clear insights and her willingness to always reappraise her views in light of new information. We are in great need of such clear minded, ideology-free journalists and authors.

[@kenmorgan6641]

Two thumbs up.............WAY UP !!

[@JyeDante777]

Enjoyed this greatly.

[@gordonmillar998]

Very refreshing.

[@professorhoodoo]

I really like this author .. Just bought my first book..

[@rogermorton9716]

Gotta love 💘Dinana West

[@stairwaytoholiday]

She looks and sounds just like that actress who plays Samantha on Sex and the City. She really is a breath of fresh air.

[@crawfish1333]

OMFG ! This woman must be listened to, something special about her....the force is with her!

[@peterboston]

Kudos to Diana West for writing and speaking about the need to investigate reality, and not meekly accept the delusions of popular culture. 1,000 years from now historians will call this epoch the Age of Idiocy.

[@wakeywakey8603]

Have u seen the mockumentary IDIOCRACY? The so called progressives are actually regressives

[@laurenlimebrook9828]

It's good to hear what she is exposing to people who haven't heard this before but it has been out there for some time in different history volumes. Many researchers of history have written these things but their books are nearly impossible to get. I love her writing and her interviews are really interesting.

[@lindafrancine414]

She is first rate.

[@SM80FG]

New DW fan. Just heard her on American Thought Leaders and The Eric Metaxas Show. She’s great.

[@JC-gw3yo]

All the work of Joe McCarthy and other true non communists have been totally vilified, and yet it takes the power of a lovely Christian women to bring out the truth. Goes to prove again the power of a good woman.... Diana West is our modern day biblical reminder

[@pradipamahadeva8051]

Very Informative! Explains a lot happening in America!

[@oozhaboo]

Watching this video while reading American Betrayal while getting a notification from eBay that her public bank solution just got delivered. Dang! Trifecta..

[@acevamps]

First time I see or hear her I think she’s amazing she won me when she just plainly said George bush is not a conservative!!! She’s so right & of course with everything she’s saying

[@DidiArte]

I like this lady. Feels like she is of my tribe, a real sister-woman!

[@cormacmacart3070]

Diana West is a true patriot, every word she said is true. I was born 10 years after W.W. 2 and know the history very well. There were always things I could never figure out until ''American Betrayal.'' For one thing why was D-day referred to as the ''second front'' since we had already been fighting in North Africa as well as Italy. In fact, we had almost defeated Italy, which if you take out a map it is a very short distance from Northern Italy right into Germany. Many of our Generals wondered the same thing. It was Stalin's plan to prolong the war and allow him to conquer half of eastern Europe. FDR abandoned American Soldiers by the thousands that got caught behind the lines as the Soviet Army advanced. He also used American & British soldiers to return fleeing Russians to Stalin to be enslaved and murdered.

[@sedalia9356]

She is a national treasure. Tragedy that her reporting is simply too much for people to hear. Most people do like to have their delusions changed, unlike me and probably whoever is reading this.

[@jaxman7294]

Shes my hero.

[@badgerostripey-one6734]

The two most important books I read in the 21st century were 'The Gulag Archipelago' and Diana's 'American Betrayal.'

[@urayoungsterbodybuildingfi9145]

Good interview but I'm reminded of a Sheryl Crow lyric, "I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life".

[@opchidexio]

The more I see of the woman, the smarter she gets. David Horowitz's attack on Diana West is both Horrible and Witless.

[@marktullis6484]

I believe Horowitz has apologized for that attack, or at least explained it away.

[@cfneal1459]

@Agnes Philomena Yes, yes, and yes!

[@cfneal1459]

@Alexander Franke He doesn''t claim to be a religious Jew.

[@ZekeMan62]

@Agnes Philomena Ok Boomer.

[@stockinettestitch]

@stairwaytoholiday Yeah, she really does. At least the actress when she's not portraying Samantha. lol That aside, she's very intelligent and willing to address problems that few else are willing to do. Kudos to C-Span for highlighting her work.

[@irrigationjoehenggeler2863]

I thought I might have been the only person not to be a Walter Cronkite fan. I heard about this journalist's STORY NOT WRITTEN from an interview he himself gave. It seems that he was imbedded with American troops around the time of the Battle of the Bulge began starting to brew up, and on hearing rumors that things might be heating up, he Vamanos out of Dodge. So much for running towards the fire -- a Lara Logan he was not-- so misses the scoop of his career! Diana West's new book, THE RED THREAD, sounds mucho interesting!! Diana -- a career well-lived!

[@penscruffy60]

Now we know, it’s all about individuals getting something, while those same people use we the people as fodder without a concern for us or our country

We need an independent country. All these business deals between billionaires foreign and domestic are a threat to our country. The purchasing of twitter was the example used, but there are many more.

[@TiempoNuevo-ew7ty]

It is odd to me that instinct doesn't play a larger part and we are so easily led by the words of smooth lies we are told by our government. During that period I did not believe that we should go into Iraq. I knew that 9/11 was not what we were told it was. I was on the alert. I wondered a lot....why did the building look like a building that had been a demolition... Why did it burn so fast, how? Why was the evidence being carried away? I questioned what I heard, I questioned what I saw, and a came to question the media narrative. I could not believe that people bought the line of nuclear weapons in Iraq. The government went from Afghanistan to attack Iraq without mercy. There was a hole in the narrative as I understood it.. and the holes in the narratives has divided our people. The wars we have had with others has now come home to destroy our own nation. I do not see Muslims as the main source of or problems instead I see the traitors within our government and those who want to control the world as the problem not just for America but for the entire globe.

[@Noitisnt-ns7mo]

The USA is now a place that makes the usually depressed president of Mexico with all their woes, take a moment of laughter when Biden refers to the USA as a democracy. De Tocqueville thought some kind of aristocracy was better anyway.Nez Perce?

[@l.antoinetteanderson3736]

Thank you for this presentation. Just reading the Koran is not sufficient to understanding Islam. You must also read 2 other books one of Mohammed's life and the other a book of sayings. The Koran is confusing because it deals with 2 distinct periods of Mohammed's life, one in Medina and the other in Mecca, both very different in their philosophy and politics.Please, if you want to see how subversive Political Islam is to any culture outside its own: see Dr. Bill Warner, website Political Islam and his many teaching videos on ytube.

[@s.g.8010]

Question of US soldiers not pee pee'g in the direction of Mecca. Question: Why does the US soldiers fight Israels wars? Why? Trying to understand why Israel soldiers do not fight their own wars? So, why are US soldiers fighting Israels wars?

Remote diagnosis is difficult. But if I had to choose someone who was diagnosed with psychopathy based on remote diagnosis, that would be Diana West.

[@rjpalada5549]

Using the same diagnostics I would characterize you as a paranoid schizophrenic

[@l.antoinetteanderson3736]

There are many kinds of jihad, the sword, the pen and other very insidious ways of taking over a culture. Again, please visit Dr. Bill Warner, "Political Islam" on ytube and the website by the same title.

[@scarsdaleny5341]

To Goofin Hiemer, You may be on to something --- although, who knows, right? Still, she grew up...in Laurel Canyon? And her father was an arch conservative?? Listen, you didn't live in Laurel Canyon in the 1960s --- and it was soon to become Hippie Headquarters for the nation after 1967, with every one of those soon-to-be nationally known hippie rock stars being, by coincidence, the sons and daughters of military intel specialists --- unless you, too, were linked to military intel. Otherwise, why would you be a conservative and live in, of all places, Laurel Canyon? Then she went to Yale, which is, for all intents and purposes, a large CIA recruiting office.

[@mns8732]

Bat -Shit crazy. She has fucking nerve to besmirch Henry Wallace, a millionaire businessman, brilliant agriculturalist.

[@penscruffy60]

Cronkite, a CIA operative

[@TiempoNuevo-ew7ty]

She looks too young to have 2 19 year olds.

[@ahagamama]

Sounds just like a far-right idealist to me. When we grow up hearing certain perspectives, and then we write books to prove that perspective true, we are not using our full intelligence. This person has not looked deeply beyond her own long held OPINIONS, and is simply continuing to try to prove those OPINIONS.

[@cfneal1459]

I'm so sorry you're too smart to understand the truth.

[@Indusxstan]

Ana Franklin : The irony is that YOU don’t have the intelligence to realise that what you are accusing her of fits YOU to a T ... ha ha. I am appalled also at the depth of your self-hating conditioning. Another irony is that I am not even American myself but I can see her grasp of reality still.

[@rjpalada5549]

I see that you can read minds.You must be an absolutely wonderful dinner companion

[@danworth3669]

She says a whole lot of nothing
