Former Conservative Republican Bill Kristol: Biden must succeed. I haven’t voted GOP since Trump.
Former Conservative Republican Bill Kristol did not mince his words as he disparaged Trump’s Republican Party, which for all practical purposes, he has left. He has been on this necessary crusade for some time.
See full episodes here.
Bill Kristol is a conservative stalwart. He is the director of Defending Democracy, a Fellow at Harvard’s Institute of Politics Kennedy School, and the editor at large at The Bulwark. We all recognize Mr. Kristol as the ardent defender of conservative positions on every TV and radio network and at conferences throughout the nation. It is for that reason that his turn against his former party is of utmost importance.
I watched and listened to Kristol in just about every media outlet for decades. He had me pulling out my hair both when I had it and didn’t have it.
I attended a Bridge Alliance conference in Washington DC in 2018 doing my independent journalism spiel. He was one of the featured speakers. While he was walking to the stage as I was recording, I had preconceived notions of what he would say. I was completely wrong as he began then speaking about more practical conservatism and working with progressives. But his disdain for what the Republican Party had allowed Trump to do to their party was palpable.
Bill Kristol has been doing the rounds on network and cable TV to nudge the party in the right direction. To date, he has not been successful. There are many other bona fide conservative Republicans that are joining him.
Donald Trump lashed out as more than 150 senior Republicans threatened to form a new party if the GOP doesn’t disown him.
The new group is being led by Trump critics Evan McMullin and Miles Taylor and is calling for a major reform of the party.
The move came after congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming was stripped of her House Republican leadership position over her criticism of Mr. Trump’s fraudulent claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
While Kristol is not a signatory to the group, his sentiment is with them. But he is clear that in these times, the choice must be binary,
“I’m friendly to those guys, to the people who signed that statement,” Kristol said. “I didn’t sign it myself. It goes a little far for me in the third party direction, whereas I think I would be worried that just to set up a third party would divert voters’ attention from the fact that probably in 2022 and 24, we have a binary choice really. And the choice is the Biden Administration and a Democratic Congress.”
Listen to the entire interview. It is rather enlightening. After the main interview, we discussed conservatism. I was surprised by his take on redistribution and Medicare for all. Our YouTube subscriber members can watch it here.
My new book “How to Make America Utopia: Take away the economy from those who rigged it” is now available in paperback and Kindle form.
The book explains our economy and our politics in a manner that is easily understood. More importantly, it is truthful and discounts the misinformation that has been told since the country's inception.
The book illustrates how the false basis on which the economy is based is responsible for most Americans' inability to succeed independently or get the services they want from the government. Ultimately, it clarifies what an American Utopia should be, an America where all have equal access to success and happiness.
We answer the following questions and many others. Most importantly, we provide plausible solutions.
Why do most Americans continue to accept a system that moves so slowly in empowering one group after that another?
Why do Americans continue to support politicians who refuse to establish a health care system that takes care of all its citizens like every major industrialized country in the world?
Why do Americans continue to support a criminal justice system so unfair to people of color and all the poor even though their country preaches morality to the rest of the world?
Why do Americans continue to tolerate an unequal educational system where one’s public education is directly proportional to the wealth of the portion of any school district where one resides?
Why do Americans accept a public college education system that saddles a large percentage of students with burdensome debts?
Why do Americans give corporations the same rights we give human beings, personhood?
Why do Americans allow politicians to spend more than the next 9 or so countries combined for a defense we will never need nor could we ever use?
Why do Americans allow politicians to build toll roads, in effect allowing private corporations to tax us for roads that should be built from taxpayer dollars?
Why do Americans allow the working person’s income to be taxed at a higher rate than investment income?
Why do Americans allow corporations to use the patent system to stifle innovation?
Why do Americans allow deregulation at the expense of their health and a clean environment?
· Why do Americans support an economic system biased to the corporation and business first?
Arthur Kanegis discusses his film ‘The World Is My Country’ & world problems.
Director/Producer Arthur Kanegis discusses his latest film, ‘The World Is My Country,’ and the many issues affecting the world.

Arthur Kanegis appeared on Politics Done Right to discuss his new film “The World Is My Country.” But we discussed much more. We discussed many of the issues affecting the world and the role the corporate structure plays in it. Listen to the entire interview. It is well worth it is as Kanegis gets it.
Who is Arthur Kenegis?
Arthur Kenegis is the President of Future WAVE, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to shifting our culture of violence to a culture of peace. He is the Director/Producer of “The World Is My Country,” a film about World Citizen # 1 Garry Davis’s amazing adventures. Prior to producing this feature-length documentary, he produced the award-winning short film on the same subject: “One! The Garry Davis Story”. He wrote an award-winning screenplay for a narrative feature as well. He is the producer of “War Without Winners,” narrated by Paul Newman and filmed by Haskell Wexler – a compelling TV documentary on the nuclear war issue.
Arthur Kanegis researched nuclear war bomb-damage effects at different distances from the epi-center so that the production crew for the 1983 ABC TV special “The Day After” could accurately design the sets. He also produced a PSA with Paul Newman that ABC affiliates ran immediately after the show. The show had the largest TV audience of any made-for-TV film ever — over 100 million in the US and over 200 million in the Soviet Union. Ronald Reagan credits it with convincing him that nuclear war was unwinnable, leading to his negotiating and signing arms-limitation agreements with the Soviet Union.
Yep! Republican Gov: Trump’s TOXIC. GOP showing insanity & signals BIG LIE deniers not wanted.
Maryland’s Republican Governor Larry Hogan appeared on CNN's State of the Union and pretty much decimated the Republican Party & Trump but has hope.
See full episodes here.
Larry Hogan may have an easier time talking against his party and Trump since he is in a blue state. It does not detract from the importance of his message. And Hogan was clear in how he described Donald Trump and how he excoriated his party.
Hogan was asked if the GOP was signaling to sensible Republicans like him are unwelcomed.
“ Well, it certainly appears to send that signal,” Larry Hogan said. “It's kind of doubling down on failure. We have lost the White House, the House, and the Senate over the past four years. And to continue to do the exact same thing and expect a different result is the definition of insanity.”
When asked if Liz Cheney is correct about Donald Trump as an ongoing threat to American Democracy, he was more explicit.
”I think he's toxic for the Republican Party and for the country,” Hogan said. “And I think we have got to -- we have got to find a way to get the Republican Party back to the party of Lincoln and Reagan, get back to the more traditional big tent party that can appeal to a majority of people. Otherwise, we simply aren't going to have control, we're not going to get the White House back, and we won't have control of the House and the Senate.”
We do not need all Republicans or most Republicans to detach themselves from the madness. We need enough to make close districts winnable. And I think we are getting there.
As Bill Kristol said, — I cannot believe I am quoting Bill Kristol — in our interview last week, we need sensible Republicans to realize that the choice is binary. One must vote Democratic if they believe in Democracy.
