Damion Crawford… one of the few guests on the show that I can listen for 2hrs straight effortlessly.

[@talktruthpodclass]

If this guy was to run to be the prime minister for Jamaica I would vote for him.... he's speaking facts, a lot of people don't like him because he speaks the truth. JAMAICANS too much hand out

[@kevatchiralzin3495]

Too real, they’d throw the election… They like those types that are easily influenced under pressure.

[@glendezallison6858]

Mr Crawford it's an honour listening to you 🤗

[@MsShelly32]

"Why Jamaican kids bright at 9 months and dunce at 19" this right here!

[@goochiewayne811]

That didn't go over my head either, things that make u guh hmmmm.

You can always rely on Mr. Crawford for an excellent interview. 👏.

We need more politicians like you bredda... Fortis Forever!!!!!!!!!

Damian Crawford for Education Minister❣️I am a teacher who HATE “dunceness”!!! Never heard it expressed so well- “ Love people and hate dunceness” 💥

[@CJ-xg4wl]

Hate Dunces did you know that most of the inventors were so call Dunce its people like the so call educated who messed up this world and Damian Crawford have too much ego to lead anybody

[@georgiagordon3368]

You are such a smart man. I hope you get the opportunity to show what you can do for our country

[@oshanehector9513]

I will spend the entire day listening to Damion Crawford by his reasoning u could tell he his great at MATHS every thing he used maths in his discussion. -Smart Politician

[@mellisasmith9185]

Real talk💯💯

[@hyacinthsanderson763]

Damion bless the seed from which you come and the womb that formed you.Portland didn't want to hear about goat farming but now everything that comes from their mouth 👄 is farming, they're years behind.Every word from their mouth is farming no one is highlighting the 9 to 5 job yes man everyone is getting down dirtying hands now trying to catch up when they should be way ahead.Politics can be foolishly dirty.Bless up Mr Crawford.

[@pshonalee]

The reason why Damion has not reach further in politics is because HE IS FOR THE PEOPLE.

[@lorrainemoore7988]

And speaks the truth that most people don't like to hear

[@Everythinghandy12FWB]

The maths thing Work Senator. I tuned into it and was successful on my second trial in 2017 now today I can say it set the framework for me to hold my bachelor degree in hand.

The only person that can get me to go back to Jamaica and vote, trust me.. Never a dull moment listening to Damian, this is what Jamaica needs, someone that will do what he speaks… As per the UWI and education part, I know that, as I’m from Bill Bay, hence the reason they vote him out.. People them love too much hand-out and not looking at the future

[@VictorBrownMusic]

Interview of the year.🏆 Excellent Senator. Excellent #TheFix team.

[@IamFunsize]

I will listen to this man ALL day everyday!!! He’s definitely for the youths, smart to spare your time to get juveniles to listen. I’ve always seen this program and I think it’s maybe the 1st if not the 2nd times I’ve watched a full episode

[@kevonwilliams519]

Not a fan of politics but I’ve always think you’ll be a good leader some day keep educating people and be authentic

[@althealatty7896]

Damion intelligent awe me. I would listen to him all day.

[@ackeemfearon8764]

There is hope for Jamaica yet. Still, as ex member of the military I finally get an understanding of how the average person thinks. Listening to Ari argue her point shows how little she understands how things operate and how particular moves affect and influence others. Mr Crawford did his best to explain the moving parts but she doesn’t seem to understand or at least believe.

[@IiveinlovewithKim]

Ari's role is very important to the conversation. Your point of her ignorance works in tandem with Mr. Crawford's role to enlighten her, allowing us to be enlightened. Thanks for the show guys. I appreciate The Fix.

[@lorrainesenior7165]

Lady listen u are not listening so u don't understand..

[@lorrainesenior7165]

U reason ability is very poor listen and learn try talk less.What are u talking about on line the children in rural have no internet .

[@snitcherchimp1871]

ANOTHER ONE GREAT CONVERSATION OUR FUTURE PRIME MINISTER, BIG HIM UP. , !!!!

[@Millydread7060]

I can't love this man anymore! What I love about him di most is him talk fi make anybody understand. N what's good about it is a sensible things him chat. Big up yuh self! ❤

[@jamaicarepost]

Even tho I’m not living in Jamaica I would love to see this guy as prime minister

[@kevindaley5117]

I’m afraid it would ruin him. He’s the politician I like the most.

[@cherenee5982]

I really respect Senator Crawford's growth.

[@michaelwilliams9712]

Mr Crawford you have a lot of good ideas... People like you need to be making some of the decisions toward the country been better for our people..

[@IamShazznem]

Finally got to finish watching. this episode. Cde. Damion, Thank you for elucidating dunceness, soe's and group policy vs contracts. You shifted my perspective on the dunceness issue and its influencers. Nuff Gratitude. The Fix Hosts, please appreciate why you always see a glass or water bottles on other interview programs tables. Look how long this production was? Try to find a little table for your guests please, putting their water on the floor is bad visual and the sanitization element in visuals of a video production seemed just plain tacky. Fix it guys. You have a. great program here. I have enjoyed two of your productions so far. Thank you.

[@GenesisGlory]

Breda yah smart still enuh.. I would vote for him.. his own party don’t promote him enough

[@muntariiace1891]

Always a pleasure listening to this man 👏🏾

[@collegegrads]

So much knowledge drop in 2hrs ..how policy benefits financially over contract… Big up Mr DC

[@earlgayle3840]

if these political leaders wanted a better Jamaica they wouldve been working closely to this guy

[@KINGDOMDAUGHTER]

Episode 145 was with Mr. D. Crawford and his knowledge and policies has improved Plus to compare episodes 145 vs 217 both are valid and have salient viewpoints Thanks kindly for taking the time from your itinerary to speak to the deterrent and detriment cause and effect thereof in the Jamaican community and culture Much love

[@JasonHaynesjspn]

Always rate and respect Damion Crawford we share the same opinion on a lot of the topics he discuss and i hope people wise up realized how important keeping our culture is and not just follow what the 1st world countries do and stop take the negatives from these countries and adapt the positives instead. Crawford will be a great future leader of Jamaica.

[@85amil]

It’s so refreshing to hear someone (Damion Crawford) with knowledge and understanding to explain things and he’s also up to the times and relatable. I enjoyed this interview.

[@deanlampart1650]

EVERY LABOURITE LOVE DAMION❤

The teachers need a raise ! 🙌

[@steppingcutting7358]

Ari just trying to disagree to just disagree,and every time she come with something the man bat it weh!😂

[@garicklindsay1980]

That's how an argument is supposed to be and i don't mean in a negative way he debunks and clarify we all don't know everything stop bashing the girl if my questions come off negative he controlled the interview and explained

[@kevatchiralzin3495]

@@garicklindsay1980 To an extent, there is a border line of heckling that when you are in disagreement with every sentence a speaker makes then that’s annoyance not concern or curiosity.

[@garicklindsay1980]

@kevatchiralzin3495 hence the use of the word control he knows no script is been read so childish behavior and all the stuff one that lextures or do interviews is govern to answer even the dumbest question put forward

[@yellorose4209]

Mr Crawford I like your passion for where you want our people to be Please don't loose that passion so be aware of the "advisors" that want you to be the face

[@kevindaley5117]

Damion is brilliant.

[@leongordon1900]

Nice interview, more could be said if it not be interventions by Ari. Only ting I founded, they need a little table to put the water glass on. Mr Crawford glass was on the floor.

[@SB-uv3my]

Love the risk you take with such a long interview. ONLY DC could let me listen.

[@KINGDOMDAUGHTER]

Watched the clips and thank goodness for the full full interview. I concur with Mr. Crawford's comments and salient viewpoints of and about educational systems

[@dawntrenchfield7920]

True they need to be more responsible and educate them too.

[@racquellaughtravellive]

I absolutely love love Damion Crawford... some time him get pon mi nerves but I absolutely love his zeal to inform and educate the next generation.... while I don't like he is of the other party but I still love him.

[@julissajackson-cameron4586]

Damian has some really good points, government if listening should take up these suggestions and run with them. Something needs to change as he said. Because...boy, it's really bad. Government money pull up for real.

[@paigemchayle2989]

This man here his an has been my role model. Respect sir ..

[@djjamie4704]

Trying my best to tolerate Ari no disrespect to her

[@ptatham8]

Ari, there seems to be a gap in how you were processing the information throughout the interview. I am suggesting that you rewatch this interview and see if you notice the incongruences between what he said and your response. It appears you misunderstood majority of what he was saying.

[@pointsection]

I would suggest the same but she did the same last year and was blasted, surprised to see it happen again.

[@zaggachampain2558]

I agree

[@lorrainemoore7988]

True

[@holyghost9390]

Ari has to be the loudest person in the room. If she spend more time listening instead of trying to respond to every single comment the show would be better. Not to mention her laughing is always over the top, so much that it interrupt the flow of the interview.

[@ronnybrown2012]

I have to agree with this
