I have so wanted James Tallerico to get publicity because he’s exactly what democrats and all people need. And all these so called Christian’s that want to worship human idols. Here’s the real Christian who has the compassion of Christ and does everything he can to represent the compassionate Christ. I’m so happy he was on. And I was also shocked Rogan had him on. What a great president he would be for our nation! He’s young which would make most everyone happy to have someone young and he’s a compassionate caring man and compassionate Christian. He is just decent and I don’t care if you are an atheist or agnostic or another religion he’s gonna treat you with full respect and honor your beliefs. Just wish the alleged GOP Christian’s would learn to be more like him, because he’s living a true Christlike life.

I agree that this truth telling Christian, unlike CINOs (Christians In Name Only)like mealy-mouthed lying Mike Johnson, and all of the other hypocritical politicians who say they’re espousers of Jesus’s teachings could learn a thing or two from this young man who talks the talk.

And I’m not even religious anymore but one who lives by the Golden Rule.

I live by the golden rule also. It's easier to remember than 10 commandments and basically covers them all anyway.

Oh yeah we are on the same page and unfortunately the wicked little smiling chipmunk Mike Johnson lives in my city and I know some dirt on him. His father was always shocked at why he got to be a Christian nationalist and said he wasn’t raised like that. When his dad was burned badly in a chemical fire here, he asked Mike to see if we would get the 15 tons of chemical toxic waste cleaned up because his poor father was at ground zero. And Mike refused to help him using his connections politically. Mike is also compromised, Putin’s ammo guy Konstatin Nickoleav donated big to his campaign to get him in politics and then so do did other dirty dark Russians connected with Putin. It’s weird how he brags he has no checking or savings account, I think he’s up to his toes with the Russians but he’s so stupid he thinks he’s ok. And it’s why he’s so anti Ukraine. Because Russians have him in their pocket. And rumor has it that he’s been seen at a very famous gay bar here called central. And he lives with that disgraced preacher which is weird in itself in Washington. I think he intentionally married his wife because she’s a weirdo gay conversion therapist and I bet she knows he’s gay and does her crazy treatments on him.

They also said that Mike got caught texting a gay man and talking some very sexually explicit talk online.

Yes. Absolutely. Speak everywhere. Meet people where they are. Leave the echo chamber.

Rising Democratic star James Talarico spent three hours with Joe Rogan, sipping a beer and deep diving into shared experiences that earned the respect of host and audience. This is how to engage.

I have seen and heard online this young man in action in his home state. His questions of others as well as responses are clear, just and genuine. I would love for him to grow at a national level.

James Tallerico is exactly what we need now. Honest, down to earth man with morals and values that he expresses in easy to grasp ways. No grand standing, boasting or shaming, no ballistic word spewing, no hate dressed up as devoutness. Listening to Mr. Tallerico, you feel heard. Listening to Trump and Maga, you feel confused and agitated. No question, give this man a bigger platform.

I think it is important for Democrats to “think outside the box” and seek alternate venues such as those on YouTube. They should most certainly speak from experience and from the heart. They should be truthful. If they do and they are their message will go far.

Anyone who can hold a genuine and respectful conversation rather than speaking in political sound bytes is needed. This man is authentic and articulate.

I've been following James Talarico for about 6 months now and I've shared his social media with friends because he's so good. I think he's exactly who Democrats should be learning from and following. I totally agree with his ability to speak calmly and intelligently about his views without just checking off list. I'm a fairly liberal left Democrat and I believe in equality, tolerance, assistance, and acceptance of everyone. But that's not necessarily where a lot of people are yet. Change takes time and exposure to differences in people, policies, and beliefs. We have to grow our coalition and that means we need people like Talarico who is able to reach out to the best of our natures without confrontation. He just speaks to our hearts.

I never thought I’d ever watch a Joe Rogan episode, but when I heard that James Talarico was the guest I told my husband I want to watch it. We really enjoyed it!

These kinds of exchanges are wonderful. I hate it when they compromise their values, like Cenk others have done.

That’s a good start, I didn’t listen to it but I hope he isn’t a xtian who wants to push his religion into his politics. Separation of church and state is in the Constitution.

He is a Christian who believes firmly in the separation of church and state. He is against Christian Nationalism. He is normal. There isnt a fake bone in his body. Check him out.
