Rachel Maddow Keynote Speech

[@jeffwatkins352]

Every time Rachel speaks, I'm left in awe. Only she could have uncovered this now-obscure sequence of historical events to throw a blinding light on what we face today. IMO she herself will go down in history as the greatest journalist of our time.

[@veritas2222]

Isn’t it the truth! When Bill Moyers retired, I feared we would never again have an extraordinary journalist with a conscience on the air. News had turned into junk food not fit for a growing nation. Then along came Rachel. Not only a consummate researcher and essayist, but also and at the same time, a model representative of the LGBTQ community. She would probably not agree with that title, neither do I, frankly, but in reality, we needed her for that purpose, as well. May she live long and keep prospering infinitely.

Fact I watched the whole thing shows how good she is and brave to call out our current bs and how letting them get away with these things is bad. I'd argue this story and Nixon being pardoned set us up for our current situation.

[@Jemawin]

I so miss Rachel on MSNBC nightly,but thankfully she’s at least on on Mondays. It’s so characteristic of her to appear to start off in left field on some historical obscurity only to tie it in neatly to contemporary events. I didn’t understand the little eruption in the audience at one point.

The abruption were trump supporters, saying she supported the "lie" (the election wasn't stolen). There is no convincing those people of any factual truth. They will support trump till the day they die. As an American, It's really quite sad to see.

"Now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person," Maddow said on her show the evening of March 29, 2021.-Lie During her election coverage on Tuesday, the host accused the “far-right” of using “open carry” as a means to intimidate voters.-there is not an ounce of fact there. Rachel Maddow embarrassed herself and MSNBC when she hyped the fact that she “got Trump tax returns,” only to reveal two pages from the president’s 2005 1040 form.

Tell it like it is? You mean like how she said Russia will cut the power in winter & we'll freeze & that never happened? Or how she said Russia made Trump president but somehow didn't do it again? It's a fact that Democrats attempt to interfere in other countries. I know because I attended one of their meetings in Taiwan. The group was called Indivisible Taiwan & their publicly stated goal was to get involved in local Taiwan politics. This was in 2017 & a man, David, who worked for Hillary when she ran against Obama was there as well as Jane who was an ally of the Taipei Feminist Book Club while the leader of that club was Amanda Meyers. Jane said at one meeting, "Feminism used to hate men." I know that because I was sitting right next to her when she said it.

[@sharonwilbourne7256]

Stellar speech! What a great way to weave the tale of our past together with our current issues. This glimpse of our history helps us to be aware of how these issues were dealt or not in the past. We need to understand why letting our currenr uncomfortable and wrong political shenanigans slide by without any meaningful punishment does not act as a deterrent for present or future wrong doers. As Rachel has often pointed out before in a Mark Twain quote, "History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme." Students and citizens need to learn past truths and facts even when those can make us uncomfortable. That historical awareness, those truths, and that knowledge can hopefully aid us in our present and future decisions.

[@lindas-k5766]

Allowing current "shenanigans" to be swept aside or under the _rug_ and not prosecuted lends a sort of _permission_ to others, who will push the limits even further! (By the way... Nixon should never have been pardoned! There is no truly justifiable rationale for not holding the person who holds the highest position in our country to the highest degree of legal &/or ethical standards!)

I also love listening to another historian, Heather Cox Richardson who has a YT channel and posts once a week. Prof. Richardson has a 17 part series on the history of the Republican Party which is completely fascinating.

Just like her podcasts, her speech was enlightening and with an important message for our time at the end. She makes fairly recent history, that I for one never heard of, so interesting and then she ties it into the world we are living in today, perfectly. I could listen to her for hours, and have BTW.

Rachel can weave a wonderful story. I recommend all her books and podcasts because of the pain-staking research that goes into all of them. All worthy ideas to ponder...history seems to show us that the more things change, the more they seem the same.

[@lindajeanschaffers3673]

All I can say awesome speech❤

[@alanmarston8612]

Thank you. It is the same old crap over and over again. There will always be people that will want to know. When the real truth comes out it scares some people. Keep bringing out the truth.

[@dtsosie5836]

A very thought provoking presentation. Thank you Rachel, the free world needs you.

[@nancycarroll9501]

Great historical context-so appreciate Rachel’s brilliant analyses and connecting the dots. Both sobering and hopeful to learn from history. Sorry someone was so rudely exploiting their free speech rights from the audience.

If there is a choice between President Truman and President Jimmy Carter, as to which is the better one, there is absolutely no contest. It’s President Jimmy Carter, all the way.

[@mirrage42]

I agree 100%. President and Mrs Carter are the embodiment of integrity and kindness.

[@florinest]

Every historian acknowledges thatTruman was one of our greatest presidents and that Carter wasn't. Thank God Truman was there after Roosevelt died.

Ask the people of Japan about President Truman

[@Enyavar1]

People need to stop treating presidents as their saviours, prophets and superheros. They are not. A president can be the smartest person but fail because the entire smart cabinet runs into an opposition of stupidity. A president can be just a mediocre workhorse who succeeds thanks to her hardworking staff, with no IQ brilliance needed. And a president can be a glamorous moronic megalomaniac surrounding himself with litspickles, but the stability of the system can still endure them. They always remain people.

Love and appreciate Rachel and her research team for giving us the full circle of history. Have been a fan since she first went on the air. Would also like to give a large shoutout to MSNBC for allowing her to have that long uninterrupted beginning to her shows so she can put her story into full context. Was listening to Christiane Amanpour being interviewed one night. She said that as a foreign and war correspondent she needed 20 minutes to explain the history of how we got to that moment. With editing she could the basic points across in 10-15 minutes. She had, on a good day, 2 1/2 minutes before a 5 minute commercial break.

The most brilliant journalist and commentator of our time, without a doubt. I loved her reaction to the upheaval in the audience. Remainig, cool and respectful; keeping her sense of humor. Love Rachel!

[@r.b.roberts9747]

Remarkable! That's Rachael! We're also devoted followers -- of not only among the greatest intellectuals, podcasters, and journalists of our time - but even more, among the greatest lecturers! 👊👍

[@loreneRa]

Amazing research and delivery. Thank you Ms Maddow.

[@lakeshagadson357]

I've seen her on a lot of things I wouldn't mind having her as a guest speaker at my church

[@principessachazzie]

💯 agree with all the positive comments here. She is not only an amazing investigative journalist add historical story teller she had me from the start. Does anyone know why she stopped for a minute looked down into the audience?

[@MariaEscamilla-l5c]

Heard your speech on Truman. Amazing how history is repeating itself!

[@curtrice6060]

Wow, user, well put. This is why we study these presentations.🤓😁😎👍

[@LaGreekFest]

Rachael is never afraid to speak truth to power, and this speech was no exception! My husband and I discovered her on Air America years ago and have been avid followers ever since. Loved BagMan and everything else she does. Another brilliant job of tying the past to the present, as she is currently doing with her podcast "Deja News" I miss her nightly shows so much, but I'm just grateful to have her on Mondays. She is like a fresh rain in a dry desert and deserves high praise for using this venue as a golden microphone. There is no one else like her!

[@robotika-qd1lu]

Rachael is just amazing.

[@janetives5470]

Rachel is the great communicator !

[@Simspop600]

Excellent research! History must not repeat! Rachel, you truly are the best at explaining what is going on now and relating it to history. 🙏🙏🙏

[@richbriggs8106]

Brilliant!

[@PetitePorchPerformances]

I hope and trust the Marvelous Ms. Maddow will follow-up on this WONDERFULLY weird, imaginative, challenging, educational and inspirational speech. I wish I could see her foot notes. I'd love to learn the name of the Prosecutor fired by Truman and what became of him. Shalom
