    I'm an 83 year-old Brit , always have been highly cynical about American politics and the media that reports on it, then I found George. He was/is a breath of freah air in a world of murk amd misinformation. Thanks George.

    BOOOOOM!!!! Who won the last election? Yessssss, George! Turn on the lights!!👍
  • Fact checkers should be at each debate and blow loud LOUD buzzers at each lie. the length of each buzzer noise should be deducted from the liar's next answer. 20 lies = no statement allowed at the end.
  • Carter cared so much about those hostages, this story is so telling on many levels.
  • @GrimJerr
    Little did anyone know at the time Alexander Haig was working with Iran to keep the Hostages, not make a deal with Jimmy Carter to get the Hostages back, but wait until Reagan was in office and then release the Hostages.
  • @IvanBrackin
    The debate rule - that the mike goes off at the end of two minutes. Great! Almost as good as a gag order.
  • @MR.GL1.1.1TCH
    I've always believed that the mics should turn off after the time is up

    George is awesome, how can you not like him. He’s certainly been around. Vote 🗳️ Blue people. Get rid of this clown Trump.
  • @johnfox9939
    It’s easy to note that George’s Smartness, Eloquence and political insights are clearly beyond what Trump has to offer..
  • @StacyInLove1
    1st question: Who won in 2020? 2nd question: Will you commit to accepting the 2024 result? 3rd question: Mr. Trump, will you let us know when you are ready for an actual debate? Goodnight everybody.
  • George Stephanopoulos was recognized at a young age as someone with a lot to contribute to democracy. I see the same in our new and upcoming generation of people in government.
