I've watched this several times and it's even more instructional and chilling now than a year ago 😢
-
These Frontline videos are worth more than their weight in gold.
-
This man is really impressive, so glad this came in my video feed.
-
I could listen to journalist Tim Alberta all day long. Thank you PBS for this informative and valuable interview!
-
Dear lord. Did those idiots REALLY think trump had only one last favor to ask? I’m just a housewife in a small town in NC. trump will never stop asking you for favors. That much I know.
-
These Frontline documentaries are invaluable.
-
This program needs to be aired on ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX...
-
What a remarkably articulate guy. He has laid out his points with absolute clarity. We should somehow work on getting people like Tim Alberta to explain these details, via multiple reels and mass social media, to targets Republicans and make the case against Trump.
-
Being a member of Congress was never meant to be a life long job. The founders Never meant it to be that way... these people were supposed to serve a few terms and then go back to their law practice or their butcher shop. Power corrupts!
-
Dude, give this man a show FFS. I could listen to him talk for hours!
-
I am hugely impressed by Mr Alberta- such clarity of thoughts, such wise interpretations, I will buy at least one of his books !!
-
Note: I watched this from beginning to end. It gives me hope that intelligent discourse is alive and well.
-
Thank the Gods for PBS/ Frontline. This is essential viewing for any intelligent American. BRAVO! The "go along to get along" mentality that has co-opted the Republican Party has to be exposed!:face-orange-frowning:
-
I keep hearing how smart Ted Cruz is. But I also see how small his spine is. Shame he places political career over being a statesman, because we could sure use one.
-
Every person in US needs to hear this explanation and reporting. Excellent. Vote BLUE
-
Very articulate, forensic, surgical, and extremely well delivered. Brilliance plus the command of this language, and his subject matter! I’m in awe! This is my 3rd time of watching this documentary, but it never ceases to amaze me!
-
This series should win a Pulitzer
-
I can’t believe I lived this and still cannot believe it happened. I’m watching this video, watching back on what happened, and still cannot believe it.

PBS: Kudos to all of you, especially Tim Alberta. This is probably the 12’th or 13’th time I’ve seen this! Weirdly, if I fall asleep, it’s playing when I wake up. It’s an inspiring piece of truth telling at a time when our political skies are ominously overcast and threatening with cowardice, cynicism, mendacity and rank criminality masquerading as patriotism. I hope Tim lands on his feet, but a little voice keeps saying, keep an eye on him; as he goes so goes in all probability American journalism!
