“It’s Not Clear Who’s Actually Running Things In Washington” | Sir Niall Ferguson

[@MS-ce8nr]

What a wonderful way to express the challenges facing the free world we are dealing with. Thank you two such.

[@tchocky71]

I trust John Anderson to present the truth impartially than the mainstream news broadcasters. What a relief his interviews are! And Niall Ferguson - what a gem as an intellectual, a teacher and a historian. God bless you both.

[@jaredpruett2056]

I’m American (Texan), and I have to say this has been the most concise and “common sense” commentary of our own situation I’ve heard on any platform. Very grateful to have listened to you both- cheers & do keep it going!

Great discussion, there is some hope in the world with people like John and Niall!

[@deanpd3402]

I had no idea of what a good man we had when John was the Deputy PM.

[@paultyson4389]

Ferguson is an apologist and enabler for a full blown fascist, Donald J. Trump, who in January 2020 tried to carry out an insurrection, perhaps the greatest crime ever committed in America. And Ferguson starts off by saying that Harris is the illegitimate candidate in this Presidential election. That is sick beyond words.

That's on purpose. The ruling managerial elite has been deliberately acting to silence free debate. These conversations influence what the public believes and thinks about, which interferes with how this elite is terraforming the new social fabric to their benefit, so they are making a considerable effort to stifle and control it.

[@jnbfrancisco]

I had a friend in Australia since 2005 that ask me what I thought about the genocide of the Palestinian people. I was appalled. He is a 77 year old originally from Ireland. I am a 73 year old American. I was a defence contractor working in Townsville for the Australian Army when I met him. We have talked a couple of times since he ask that question. I did let him know that I didn't agree on that description of the situation in Gaza. For some crazy reason I thought most people in the UK and Australia were very wise like these two fellows. After working in Australia for a year I realized they are just like the US. Many misinformed by their news media. They don't have the ability determine they are being lied to either. What a shame.

[@MrHaroldrust]

Thank you for such an uplifting, deeply thoughtful, factually accurate and extensively brilliant discussion which is totally embedded in serious and meaningful threads of connected concepts. I think John Anderson brings out more insightful responses from every American he interviews than is often the case in more "sound-bite" interviews on typical interviews in our public media and even Fox News at times.

[@McD-j5r]

I'm 70 and retired with time to make coffee and watch a John Anderson video. However I'm pleasantly surprised that my grands and their friends are watching these having seen me on my laptop.

Well, I don't think one has to be conservative to vote for Trump, or see what damage the lefties are doing in the West. Many libs refuse to see it. A lot of them really do have what is called "TDS". I have examples of it. I have always considered myself independent, lib, or centrist, depending on the issues...These days if one veers anywhere "right of center" or left, there are plenty of people who automatically label one "right wing", or make the oh, so typical quip..."You should stop watching Fox News." I have had that stated to me on occasion, and I rarely watch Fox News. It's a condescension of course. It's a common reflex in these parts of the U.S.

[@StevenHaugland]

Finally, a 'European' speaker who can objectively speak about Trump. As an American who has a close-up view of the Democrat corruption and fecklessness in the US, he sees what other Americans see.
