You like the whole bomb-brown-people point of view? Because that's why he doesn't like Trump: Trump doesn't want endless war.

I miss policy, too. Chaos is not a leadership trait.

This is not the first time I have heard Trump compared to Hoffman as a disrupting influence. Big difference: Hoffman was considered a nut even by people on the left, and he never got anywhere near a major political office. Trump was elected president. Not the same.

is Ying and Yang relevent? Change is constant and it is not always the change you hoped for.

Brilliant!

God, this guy is so smart.

While I agree with David Brooks, I think he missing two pieces when it comes to the US economically and its connection to mass shootings, among other phenomena he discussed. In other developed countries, basic Broadband, basic Cellphone service and Universal Healthcare (and other laws and protections that at least somewhat moderate Corp predation and provide more robust support for working class and working poor) have allowed/maintained a modicum of upward economic mobility, econ equality, econ opportunity (even in the face of stagnant wages.) In the US, these 2 new unavoidable family utilities often rival the heating/cooling bill. Also, over the last several decades, families have seen continuously rising healthcare costs with diminishing service. Healthcare premiums, co-pays, deductibles have gone up and up. Policy maximums mean that a heart attack or cancer is likely to bankrupt the family. In the US, all of these severely compromise econ opportunity and mobility. Additionally, US companies are saddled with providing Healthcare while they compete in the Global Econ with companies in other countries that don’t have to worry about this. Worker benefits suffer and contribute to the above. Other developed countries have vacation and sick leave many times of what American workers enjoy, a livable wage, a livable retirement. The one "out" was education, but the US, again, have allowed Corp predation and now young adults, instead of buying a house which builds equity instead buy an education and are then victimized, all allowed because bankruptcy excludes student loans. Second, in the face of all of the above, the American White het male is being told that they have privilege and advantage and they are looking at socioeconomic status that is under their parents had/have (often over the course of a lifetime) and in the face of stagnant wages, the above new utilities see them feeling and being poorer - even over the course of an entire lifetime. Many realize that they will work until they can't because "retirement" is effectively gone. They are understandably resentful at what they see is an erosion of their privilege just as they are accused of having it. The Great Recession amplified all of the above which is still alive and well in communities across the US. The social problems of inner cities, including generational poverty, addiction, mental health issues, social functioning issues are now being seen in predominantly White communities across our country. The fact that nearly all public shootings are White het males is not coincidence.

I am a liberal and I really like reading and listening to David Brooks. I wonder if he is now an American citizen. He was born in Canada. I guess people can have duel citizenship.

I like Brooks too, but sometimes he just in unfathomable in his support for the right ... it is so sad considering his Jewish background how he is dangerously close to collaborating with a counter-revolutionary group that is in the process of taking over the American economy and government ... or rather has already ...

No, he went too far actually. But I am waiting for his comeback, unless he has lost the will and it too old now.

What's sad is the continual political polarizing of the people, as if they are just props, in a bad movie. Both parties, along with corporate and the media seem to have forgot that the people are the host. That is the government, both political parties, corporate and media needs the people. The people can survive without them. The people are The ones who pay The salaries of all government officials, and The people are The ones who pay taxes. IT is The people who made millions/ billion of dollars for corporate in The workplace and buy what corporations sales. The people support the media and buy The products The advertisers pitch. The people have The Power. It is time to put The People first. "Under God; one people united."

*"Fierce, decades long commitment to others"* is difficult to attain when people are fighting tooth and nail for their socioeconomic status, which, despite hard work, is going backwards, or at best holding. And that is the reward after a long life of diligent work. That's not very inspiring, *nor does it leave a lot of room to care about others*...... Most American's do have a decades long commitment: to banks and credit companies, student loans, etc.

KZread Richard Gage and Christopher Bollyn.

The Fourth Turning

Brooks would like to see globalism when this has hurt us with low wages and job rejection to otherwise good qualified white applicant

“Defined by our skills?” How about being defined by our humanity? The Constitution is trashed by the Emperor FPOTUS so in return I say, will somebody please help take out the TRAASH? STOP Trumps Republican Almost Affordable Sanctions on Healthcare and support a single payer universal healthcare system. The problem with TRAASH is that it builds up in the corners and needs to be taken away from time to time and now is that time!

I like David Brooks and find most of his comments on the NewHour with Mark Shields very enlightening and insightful. What I do not understand is why he is a Republican/Conservative. The arguments he makes and the values he espouses are what to me sound like Liberal arguments or the most part. For example though, today they talked about the recent sexual harassment situation, and time after time, we see how Republicans operate. A whole big project to nail Al Franken for doing something that is nothing like close to what Trump or Roy Moore have done. Why he does not get that the moral evil goes right along with the fake economic concerns, and the pandering the fools and racists. He will stand up and blame Republicans and criticize Trump ... so what about Republicans do you like and agree with, and what do you see in Democrats that you do not like or agree with? There is just a moral piece in Republican's brains that is missing in all of them. That is why they seem to have to try and push so hard when they are doing something wrong to turn it around and blame the democrats for doing worse, when they have no proof, they just make it up. He keeps thinking there is a core value or philosophy behind Conservatives .. and all there really is is money, and it is the same money that manipulates the Democats and the media ... but I never hear him talk about it, acknowledge it, or suggest any actions to counter it, and purge the evil out of the Republican party. The populists are rebelling in the wrong direction because they have been primed, aimed, and loaded by the hardline right that aims to overthrow the American system. Why does he not say that. He gives Conservatives the benefit of the doubt, far past the point where there is no doubt. Brooks was given a job as a college student by William F. Buckley, who was at least liberal enough to allow Liberals to express their points of view on his show, and often lost. What is it about the loss of that kind of man in the Conservatives movement, the about face of Buckley's son who voted and supported Obama in the 2008 election that Brooks doesn't get? Why is this guy like so many other Conservatives ... completely blind when it comes to seeing the character if his fellow travelers in the Conservative movement? I hate these new fascist racist counter-reveolutionary Conservatives ... and I don't want to feel the same about David Brooks .. but he walks the thin line back and forth to keep his job at PBS I guess ... why? Why doesn't he just go work for FOX and see what it is all about. Then maybe he would get his fucking head screwed on right.

You pose so many questions it is not easy to reply. But, in short, I think David sees himself as a bridge, and he seeks to bring sides together. There is no Bridge Party, so he chooses to be a bridge from the party he has, in the past at least, most identified with. At a certain time in history, you could be a Republican and have a moral center. He has probably been asking himself lately just where he belongs in this new political reality.

I agree with you pretty much about Brooks, but there is not bridge to Trumpism, unless I completely misunderstand it. I think for most of the year he stuggled with the issue your mentioned, but now I hear him being more comfortable with praising some of the things he thinks are good about Donald Trump. I think that is sad ... because of the broken clock rule. He is trying to be positive, but I don't see any postivity abut Trump or the Republicans to be in order. I think it must just be to keep his job. That is the kind of scary thing about a Jew doing this when Trump, or the Republicans could eventually evolve into contemporary Nazis.

This guy's analysis is from a different dimension. Certainly not rooted in reality. The populous movement is the side fighting for free speech and open debate. It's the side fighting for diversity of thought. After all, it is the content of our character that count, not the color of our skin.

One of our great minds but wrong on this

He calls for community activism as the base and the mouth pieces of his party endlessly mocked the community activist-in-chief for 8 years. Brooks is out of touch with the Republican base. Trump knew what the base was and how to effectively tap it. Reagan may have been the Great Communicator, but Trump understands the base in ways Reagan never could. I’d dare say Trump would trounce Reagan today, much as he dismissed every one of 13 shades of Reagan in 2016.

David, I love listening to you, but your new glasses, like asymmetric chemistry, have Levo lenses, distorted on two overriding realities. One, POTUS is a whole lot smarter than you and me combined, and two, globalism became a new form of colonialism, an unintended consequence. Your a young guy, not around during Korea and most folks today we're not, and most are not aware of the role Russia played in the Korean War. If you think of a chess board, China was massively important as paunes but Russia was the queen piece with Inteligence, quality weapons, fighters and pilots. It took B36s with live warheads in multiple holding patterns 12 miles off Russia's north shore to hold them in check. If the media, judiciary and congress continue to tie the hands of POTUS, contrary to the Constitution, the outcome remains in doubt. North Korea can be solved but not without full support from both Russia and China. Look up Khason on Google map. And get a new prescription.

>> One, POTUS is a whole lot smarter than you and me combined LOL, well you anyway. The belligerence after WWII when Russia withstood the most losses of an y country every in history while the US and Britain waited and waited and then tried to bring then down. That is where the issue is. Of course there was logic to the US actions, but soon we become the military industrial complex and those who run the US today come straight out of that.
