  2. I love Jimmy Dore… Amazing to hear someone that feel the way I do about our current political situation. Steph, Looks amazing!

  3. Could you guys put those “stoppers” in the video which can indicate which topic is being covered, like they do on democracy now? so i can just click and select the segment i would like to watch?

  5. when Jimmy introduced the Hillary book segment by saying, “She’s fantastic.”

    I spontaneously laughed shout-loud!
    Jimmy has that perfect blend of goofball – sarcastic dick comments.
    For every OTT crazy thing (Hillary has some secret disease) he has a ton of real, no-bullshit takes.

    The DNC/Clintoncrats/NeoLibs have started expanding their “Bernie Bro” name-calling to include “Bernie Sisters.”

    Sorry, Clintoncrats, “Bernie Sisters” is as lame as “Verrit” (how monumentally stupid is that name?).
    I prefer “Bernie Betty.”

  6. Another great FDR quote:
    “Do not let any calamity-howling executive with an income of $1,000 a day, who has been turning his employees over to the government relief rolls in order to preserve his company’s undustributed reserves, tell you–using his stockholders’ money to pay the postage for his personal opinions–that a wage of $11 a week is going to have a disastrous effect on all American industry.”

    Sound familiar?

  7. Switzerland does not have Universal Health Care. They have a form of Romney Care, since you have to have a contract with an insurance company. They have voted for UHC several times, but the sheeple are convinced to not vote for it.
    Good show even though you got one fact wrong, I forgive you. Great to have Steph and Graham on since they work well together. I missed Graham’s chat since it was too late and I was tired on European Time.
    One aspect of the Auto bailout was that it was the time when electric cars were being developed. Why didn’t they insist that half of the cars built had to be EV! I saw Paul Beckwith talking about the media downplaying the problem. We have added 160 million tons equivalent of solar and wind since 2011. At the same time we have used over 800 million tons equivalent of oil, gas and coal. Don’t think that Europe is the paradise, since in Switzerland and Germany they never tell the truth about the energy situation. Remember the stories about Germany having 86% of electricity generated by renewable sources? The truth is that they produced a maximum of 43%. That is already a good start, but why the lie? I traced part of it back to the Davos WEF. Another detail about the bank bailout. I had a list of the banks that raided the Fed in either 2008 or 2009. They stole in the tens of Trillions of dollars, not $700 Billion.I will try to find it since I saved it somewhere. Can someone find an archive somewhere on the tubes? I found this paper, but I had another list that made this look like peanuts.

    1. Hi SedonaSusan,

      If you look below the video, you’ll see the “Download Video” button. Abreu is fantastic and full of new ideas and energy. Hope he wins.

  12. Listening while wrapping up the last preps in my meager apartment, getting ready for Irma. 20 minutes into the show and I stop what I’m doing, laughing out loud heartier than I’ve laughed in days. Oh boy. You guys. Thanks.

  13. It seems like it’s about power. Hillary attack Libs because she’s more likely to regain Libs through the threat of Republicans. Enjoyed this one, and liked the focus on issues that affect common people, as opposed to the media bs that we’ve all stopped caring about.

  15. Hillary just published a book blaming Bernie for her loss. Bernie just published a book telling young people how to save the world. Can you imagine Bernie publishing a book about why he lost and blaming in on Hillary and the DNC? I’d buy it, (because it’s true) but he’ll never write it, because he’s too busy trying to make the world a better place. And, if he did, the media would go war.

    Graham hit the nail on the head. The day Hillary hired Debbie, that was the day I decided to vote for Jill Stein. THAT WAS THE DAY Hillary lost all Bernie supporters, half the democratic party, all independents and a percentage of the republican base.

    Set the book on fire!!! lol

  18. Jimmy, great show.. I would like to add the most obvious point missed by the establishment media about why the Democratic party lost to a Trump GOP show… and that is the Democrats offered NOTHING to working people. The Democratic part NO LONGER FIGHTS OR CARES about WORKING PEOPLE. The middle class now is the people in a severely undemocratic governmet of the corporations, the oligarchy and powerful, NOT FOR THE PEOPLE.

    Single Payer enjoyed by billions of people in OTHER western countries.. nope. NOT HERE!

    Living wage.. again NOPE NOT HERE, bad for the rich corporations, and oligarchs.. NOT HERE!

    Got nobody fighting for your rights, better pay, better life for your kids… NOT HERE!

    God Bless America, for the rich oligarchy that OWNS it… NOT YOU!

  19. We need to expose how politicians are living in luxury! We need a show exposing how politicians vacation, how they spend Christmas, what jobs their kids get, schools they attend , how they keep their money. We need paparazzi for politicians!

    1. unfortunately, the media or journalist that use to go out and investigate the powerful are more corrupt and bought than anyone else. The establishment media is a PUPPET of the corporate oligarchy. The fourth estate, arguably the most powerful non-government, with no legislative power, has been captured and sequestered like a bitch to do the bidding of the corrupt. How else can you explain the last 30 years?

  21. Another NYer here, thanks for keeping us informed. Love you guys! I will continue to say it – you are why I subscribed and continue to be a member.

  24. Thanks to Jimmy for informing me about not 1 but 2 progressives in my community. Alexandria Ocasio and now Randy Abreu.

  26. Sorry to whoever posted this,

    But could you also put in the description that Graham and Stef were on the panel? Some people look for that kind of information before clicking.

    After all it IS Aggressive ProgressiveS!

  27. This is the first time I have watched Aggressive Progressives. I’ve always liked Jimmy Dore, but I only recently became a member of TYT. But I simply must leave this comment to say that this show is AWESOME! I knew it would probably be up my alley, but I did not foresee it being this great. Please keep up the good work!

  34. Didn’t even know about Randy Abreu and I’m in NY. Thanks, Jimmy. Will be voting for him. s The best SHRED of Hilary’s book as well!
