Rachel Maddow in conversation with Jacob Soboroff at Live Talks Los Angeles

[@lseh4720]

The first time Rachel filled in for Keith Obermann, when she was done, I turned to my husband and said, “I don’t know who she is but I want to marry her.” You’re amazing Rachel.

Keith Olbermann gets no credit for bringing Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes from The National to MSNBC. They appeared on his show Countdown.

I get something new from each interview Rachel does. Soboroff is brilliant. As is Rachel. (I vote for a Soboroff Maddow hour. At least once a month.) This book should be required reading. For every American who is fighting to save our democracy in this perilous time. We've been here before. Hope has been a fleeting and fickle friend for the last 6 years. This book gives me hope.

Prequel is an amazing story! This was about a time in our history that I vaguely, sort of knew about, but had never looked at closely. A must read for all Americans and for anyone who is just interested in this part of our history.

Prequel was an amazing book that should be read and thought about by everyone. It is terrifying but gives hope. Every actual Christian should be terrified of the idea of Christian Nationalism. It is terrible and it is not Christian.

A friend of mine and I were there! It was excellent. IMHO, Rachel is the best. Her podcast, Ultra, was incredible. I received the book, Prequel, at this event with my ticket. Having said that, I much prefer to listen to my books these days so I'm going to get the audio version. On another note, her podcast and book, Bagman (about Spiro Agnew) was really good too.

Rachel, I'm a 70 year old women living in a town of 1500. I have spent the last 3 years educating myself.

Do you have any idea how much damage these two have done to your country and you call them " greatest". The open border has been a disaster. That's only one example. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster. You need to get informed, Maddow can lie and Exaggerate like the rest of them.

[@kristieroybal4888]

Rachel - I wholeheartedly love you. Not in some romantic sense (let's not make this weird), but in a very real, deep appreciation and gratitude type of sense. Everything I know about political right and wrong, I learned from you. I love your endless sense of compassion. Please never be embarrassed about your on-air emotion. Many stories involving humanity are devastatingly sad, and your tears are appropriate. Your endless drive for perfection. The few times on-air when you have said "thats not a word," I'm sure our neighbors thought someone's chicken was just celebrating an oddly timed egg laying, because of my joyful cackling. Your fascinating command of the English language is a thing of beauty. I love your humor, I love your pure red-hot anger over things such as the Trump administration policy of tearing families apart. I love that once, when reading something at home during the Trump administration, and you announced to the world that your yelp scared the dog! I admire you immensely. I feel like a day without Rachel is a day without knowing what those scary crazy weirdos are doing, which oddly panics me more than knowing what they're up to. People tell me I have to take a break. I don't feel safe enough to take a break. Thank you, Rachel, for keeping my hair on my head, and thoroughly doused.

The trouble is a lot of the old voters watch Fox News and believe it.

[@PHPyme]

I have an elderly friend who was a Trump supporter and Fox viewer. When he moved, my friend didn't get Fox on TV at his new apartment. I think his kids took it off his cable. Within six months he was back to being the man I remembered. I suggested to him different news sources such as PBS and Midas Touch. I convinced him to read the Trump indictments, and he told me it was very difficult, it took him two weeks. My friend now sees Trump differently and will not vote for him in 2024. This is just more proof of just how toxic Fox is to all Americans!

[@ayndowney9401]

​​@@PHPymeYou are so Right, we have an Entire Planet that believes Fox News is credible and their slanted version of inconsistency is Mind Boggling, I am concerned that we are headed toward a Civil War among Wealthy and Working PEOPLE who are now very poor Especially vulnerable populations include Veterans, Senior Citizens and Physically impaired and Citizens that are attacked because they suffer from mental illness, and or are transgender.

He mixed with elite Brit. pro german in UK. When age 7.Father took me to Petticoat Lane. Jewish part of London. In a tea shop i was told to just observe discreetly the long coated men sitting to our right. They where gem dealers. Hatton Garden was the Diamond Center in London. Father had a friend there.The men opened white Handkerchiefs showing gems one to other. My father wanted me to see how they sold in confidence with a handshake.Code of Honor.

[@libbyworkman3459]

I can remember when Rachel was telling Lawrence O’Donnell about how her partner Susan almost died of Covid, and she barely managed to hold it together. And she said that she was a satellite orbiting Susan‘s planet, that’s how much she cared about her. And Lawrence said it’s so important not to cry, that gives your listeners permission to cry. And now the carnage in Gaza is just horrific on both sides.
