Sorry but i live in nebraska. Bacon speaks out but has not done anything about anything--all talk and no action. Votes no with all the Rs. Has never brought up a resolution for Ukraine, told us he didn’t like the Medicaid but voted for them anyway. Congress has the power but won’t use it. Bacon just never tries. He has always been this way. I wish you had pushed him more.

I can’t speak to his actions in Nebraska but it takes a lot of courage for him to come on this platform and speak to Lev knowing how the Prez feels about Lev and this platform. For that I applaud the Congressman’s courage. He’s clearly taking a stand by showing up.

Especially on religion. I saw him weak on the Epstein Files. Listen to him very carefully. That about Biden Democrats not making it an issue is not true. Think back in 2024. Wake up! Republicans, but why use that if you are really about the victims. And why use about the Republicans who signing on, too. If you are thinking about thr women victims you would not be using nothing but you out there walking the halls and loudly pushing your Republican GOP Faith religious Loyalists to sign on -- period. Stop trying to bring Democrats down using the Epstein Files of women horrifically abused. This continues abusing these women!

I agree and I too live in Nebraska. Why isn't Bacon voting to impeach f45. What about voting for Epstein files. I want action not words.

Thank you Lev for the conversation with Cong. Don Bacon. It gives me hope to see a Republican with principles that we on the left, can admire and share. Your caring soul comes through, Lev, and it means a lot!

Trump is not doing what he should for the IS. He is a Russian assets and will do Putin’s bidding.

Thanks Lev. Congressman Bacon is good to stand against Trump & for truth. Ukraine needs us to help gain back territory & their way of life.

I am surprised though about the need to say "I believe in the Bible." It's unnecessary & against the concept of Separation of Church & State. If you can say that, then don't object to Muslims saying "I believe in the Koran," or Atheists saying "I believe in humanism."

We need to invoke the 25th amendment and remove Trump from office. Trump will never let go of Putin. He worships him.

Thank you to Congressman Bacon for coming on as your guest here. I believe what he says about wanting Ukraine to receive help from America however he fell soft on believing that trump will follow through on his latest promises. Why does Bacon even believe a word that trump says at this point. Bacon showed no passion, no gumption to really follow through on any of the talking points.

Thank you for this interview. I appreciate Bacon's view of things and his attempt to follow his reasoning on what he believes in. There are, of course, some snippets I think he misses, but overall, I am glad he is examining issues and not prioritizing loyalty to Trump because he is a Republican. I just wish the others he mentions would speak up as he does. I am glad he has the views he does on Ukraine. I also like that he is going to vote for the files. Thank you both for this - we need some hope.

This conversation was awesome Lev. Although Congressman Bacon was slightly guarded, I am so happy to hear him speak out putting truth to power first. Thank you Lev. I wish he would have acknowledged that Trump campaigned to release the Epstein files, and if he will sign after the 218 signatures, why not sign before the 218 needed? What’s the difference? It’s about justice period. His answer was quite disappointing. But he was spot on with Ukraine and Putin.

If TRump were not a creep he would have reacted differently I believe. He acts guilty because he empathizes with not the victims, but those protecting their reputations by hiding this.
