Hardly anyone cares about most of the questions you asked during the podcast You could have asked about the Indian students conditions in 2025/26 based on which party wins
Request you not to jump in every now and then.. when guest is explaining something… in this Video.. Balaji was talking about Quantitative easing post-2008 & its global impact.. but you jumping in digressed him totally.
Do us a favor if you call someone like Balaji don’t laugh like a dumbo. Or damn gosh… just say hmm 🤔 people can’t focus because there are times it’s not laughable and your response is distracting.
He just yapped most of the time. He didnt go deep and explain you who actually running the country? Why are the running the country? What is thier motive? And how all of that actually related to greater israel? Why is the sudden bangladesh unrest? And how is that related to balkanization of north eastern states of India & and want to put a military base in that region? Just to keep china silent and uneasy? While also other big boy russia is busy with ukraine, the rest of world will be in an economic crisis worrying about thier own country. Then the expansion of israel will take place and will be the king of middle east. As they already systematically silenced and put them in civil wars and crisis in tge rest of middle east using islamic barbarism for thier own benefits. Like in syria, yemen, iraq, etc Made allies with saudi and gulf. The only remaining fighter is Iran. So they recently or not so recently killed the Prime Minister in a "Plane Crash" too. And Iran will be getting bombed in this year to completely neutralize and silence it mostly likely in next two months. Soros is a jew runs an organisation basically wants to put a puppet govt in every country. So noone can go aganist israel, he basically do this with buying media. Afterall he doesnt need to buy much as Meta(Insta, fb, whatsapp) are already controlled by Zuckerberg(an another jew) Google, youtube is controlled by Sergey brin, laary page (both jews) Microsoft by bill gates( another jew). So he just need to buy bots online to control gullible people. And buy ecosystems and groom them to work for them and even those people dont know they are working for someone.

I'm an American that watched your show. And wow it really shows just how much tension there is in the US that it's so palatable and noticeable to people abroad. Things are very tense here right now. Most Americans are very worried about the future of the country, and politics are extremely divisive.

53:24 Abhijit Chavda also said that only the USA, Russia, China, and India are truly sovereign because they don't have foreign military bases. Other countries often have foreign, mainly American or Russian, military bases on their soil. And today Balaji also reiterates the same thing, the countries which have US military bases are actually not independent sovereign countries.
There are more countries that don't have foreign military bases. He has good insights, but on some things he doesn't seem to have proper understanding like when he mixes up the UN and BRICS which are completely different organizations. BRICS is not there to replace the UN... What would he say about Iran for example? The US has a special position because the $ is a reserve currency, so it has leverage against every country, but even then there are countries which are their vassals ("allies") and those which are not, but still have to play by at least some of their rules.
And the credit for this brilliant foreign policy of being non-aligned when we became independent will never be given to those who had the foresight to know what is needed to build an identity for a new nation.

Don't agree with a lot of his points specifically on racist attacks, when Biden came into power, it sends a message to the racists that their boss is not in power and therefore the attacks may have come down. Does not mean, the attacks have ceased but you don't have as many brutal attacks. When you have a leader that says "Stand back and stand by" to a far-right white supremacist group Proud Boys, you know things can get pretty bad if he is in power. The head of the country matters and it is clear Balaji has RW agenda.
@@pranav2055 Yeah, Indian mothers (infact most mothers around the globe) are far from intellectual. Not totally their fault, it's just the result of the system and the times.
As an American, I gotta say, so far from what Ive seen on this episode, he's pretty close to right at least in my view, I suggest reaching out to Saagar Enjeti from Breaking Points, he's a populist conservative that hosts a show with a populist leftist, he has an interesting perspective on US foreign policy especially
@thrift12 I'm confused as to what you're talking about, even Saagar himself has said he leans right-wing. I actually agree with him on most things, that's why I suggested Ranveer reach out to him.
20 Non-Skippable Ads in 51 mins the sheer amount of ads YT has thrown at me in this episode makes me think "Is it trying to push me away from this video"
I've been watching your podcasts for years but never felt like commenting. After watching this honestly it has been the most realist, authentic podcast yet. Balaji Srinivasan has gained a follower for sure, truly insightful.
Just want to appreciate balaji. He is giving tools to indians to understand actual divisions in Usa and play along and maybe pushing to align with republicans. Was always confused on different aspects on us politics, he cleared so many.
@@prval5989 but bro you know what, i like his concepts of Network states and even communities like orania in south africa and india etc. i also believe the world needs a reset in this rigged financial system with protocols like bitcoin (though its already occupied by rich which makes them more richer) ,not only bitcoin but he is frontrunner in such movements for decentralisation. Thats why i support him
I think Ranveer tuned out two third into this interview. He was disinterested and everything was bouncing over his head. You could tell from the hasty exit he made at the end. I thouroughly enjoyed this Interview and Balaji's is a brilliant guy with a brilliant mind. I love how he connects the various dots of politics-economics-popculture and sociology to gives us the true state of where America is. As a NRI this is both scary and enlightning at the same time. Thank you Balaji.
it's a two part podcast, probably 1-2 more hours' worth to come out in the next couple of weeks...however he, did seem disinterested, well that's because he was expecting a sensational 'Clear Trump Victory' as an answer which he didn't get, rather Balaji gave him insights on how divided the state of the Union is. But I won't blame him, sitting there listening to someone for 3+ hours, you would start to lose focus. Plus, Balaji was pulling one graph after the other. The audience has the ability to pause, understand, decipher, dissect, debate, conclude and be amazed by the infographics. For Ranveer it was like graph dikha diya bencho, aur ek graph dikha diya bencho!
Right? I felt so too. Also Ranveer using words like d@mn, sh!t in his podcast does not put him in a good light , but that's a statement for another time. I felt he did not understand most of what Balaji was talking about. I however found him very interesting.
This is how a geopolitical podcast ought to be. Driven by Data and Visualization. I think this podcast could well be the point of inflection for TRS. The US is truly a Network State in splinters. Hope it gets better.
28:07 without tech revolution Modi wouldn’t have garnered the main stream support. Media would be writing articles like “ How Rajiv Gandhi seeded IT revolution” “How Rahul envisions socialist utopia where poor can live comfortably “ etc etc
I doubt Twitter has that level of impact in India. First world likes to think so. Modi has grassroots following. Twitter or not he wins elections he wins.
Rajiv Gandhi did NOT seed anything in IT. Ask those who were begging for lower customs and excise duties for PCs and IT products, when he was PM. He was hopeless
Balaji failed to mention the recent move of people from Blue state(CA,NY) to Red state Texas … the large influx happened due to COVID, another reason was companies were forcing their employees to move to Austin… most of the people who moved were from Tech Sector during WFH era of covid for aforementioned reasons … another important reason was Bigger Houses which they could afford by selling their smaller and more expensive houses in either coast and afford a really big but cheaper house in Texas. I doubt the ideology changed because in 2020 election at one point of time it was looking Texas was turning BLUE… Disclaimer:- Not affiliated to any political ideology.
Blues go to Red states because they are economically well managed than the Blue states yet Blues will continue to vote for Democrats despite relocating to a Red state.
@@TheMondalmithun Balaji is very bright. Very accomplished. However, I don't believe he disclosed his bias. He attempted to work in the Trump Whitehouse. I don't think he smeared the left. But this was not a learning moment for anyone. It was spin by someone who stands to benefit from these views being shared
Great podcast but please work on not interrupting the guest! Not only does it breaks the flow of their thought, it’s also not polite as an interviewer.
He is a very smart man but I think it was evident to all he did not disclose his bias. Trump wanted him to lead the FDA back in 2017. He might just ha e a great chance of getting the job this time.
An academic, insightful and cerebral commentary on the state of America in particular and the western world in general vis a vis the rest of the world. A deeply intelligent mind prophesying the future with data and statistics. Can’t wait for the 2nd conversation. Brilliant podcast.
Fantastic video.....kudos to the speaker for speaking with facts,backed by data and showing everything real time.....just adds to the experience.....one of the best trs podcasts
By far one of the best snapshot of state of affairs in us, being an American could not agree more. Absolutely best this guy and RS for hosting this and covering it this way…respect 👏🏼
BeerBiceps - be honest again. U dont have to justify again & again that u dont take sides and are on fence. Its obvious dont have to state every 3 mins
Can we take a moment and appreciate balaji he’s literally pulling charts and articles after articles. and he remembers the whole title word by word and recalls it just on the fly. That’s impressive!
Huge part of your mental furniture is filled in by things could be cardboard and you don’t even know it. You have to push on it and you’ll see if it falls over. 🤯
The density and sophistication of Balaji's takes are so incredible, I have to pause frequently to let my brain rest from the pummeling of profundities.
I wish he had interrupted more. The long monologues filled with graphs and facts that are relevant only to US political junkies had me glassy eyed many times too. And the heavy pro-Repug bias was not too great either.
@@BeerBiceps highly baised opinions now call someone on the left to counter his arguments, he showed a lot of data which makes people believe he is telling the truth,but thing about statistics is source and how data is collected matters also u stumped him when you asked if everything is democrats then how did trump win, and he kept giving same bullshit because twitter lol. he almost sounded like a spokesperson of republicans and we don't have any stake in their politics but its so clear what his agenda was.
I knew this was going to resonate well here because TRS audience leans right. I would also like to hear some left of center voices in this podcast to get a fulsome perspective.
The economics presented in this podcast should be contrasted with the aspirations of the Indian state. Both populations play tug and war between grateful and ungrateful.
Caution: The ad of OnePlus 2R Watch plays almost EVERY 3-5 mins guys (and they're un-skippable, btw)!! 😤 I generally don't complain about ads in any TH-cam video, but this was THAT IRRITATING!! how can it be a good experience when there are ads EVERY FEW MINS throughout the video! but, yeah, I had to go through this as watching/ listening to Balaji Sir was just so eye-opening! pls Ranveer, remember why and for whom you started the channel. I understand money is important, but it shouldn't get in the way of the user's experience right? just a thought.. anyways, thanks to TRS for this video! I can actually see Ranveer breaking down and analysing India's situation like Balaji sir did for the USA... :) it's very much required I guess.
The ads are placed by TH-cam. Use VPN to watch from some developed country and your ads will dramatically go down. I saw only one ad in the entire video.
One of the most insightful conversations I heard. Brilliant and balanced breakdown of a huge amount information and data for a lay person. Looking forward to the next one with more focus on implications for India.
This video is so informative ! I love how he has graphs and charts and data on o support each of his opinion ! I know things are crazy here in the states right now , Balaji gave a lot of additional perspective and things that are not so obvious vs what is circulated in the news ! Brilliant !!
Incredible - Balaji is amazing as always. Great podcast after long where the guest spoke more than the host. Exactly what I have refer to see in a podcast.
Does our great ancient wisdom tell us how to properly build basic infrastructure like roads, bridges, because our current new infrastructure is terrible quality
@@cool-as-cucumber Our people are living nowadays excessively dreaming about ancient civilizational glory and talking about our ancient wisdom and they're perspectives have become so distorted that they are not seeing the terrible reality of our society which is right in front of our eyes, the corrupt society, lack of civic sense, collapsing institutions, mass unemployment, economic overburdening of middle and low income, terrible quality infrastructure, pollution issues etc. Now after the budget released today people are slowly waking up to the reality. The problem will be fixed by first accepting that we have huge issues now, then discuss about how we can solve these issues, instead of being blissfully ignorant and living on past glory, and we need more people to wake up quickly or it will be too late.
Amazing episode!! A suggestion- please do ask this question next time - what can common people do to save themselves financially when this collapse happens or civil war takes place? What to do to save themselves in such a situation?
I would like to thank Balaji Srinivasan and the team at TRS for the profound insights shared in this episode, fair to say this has changed the way I look at and engage with american politics and journalism
52:25 please use correct map of India. I know this map is more acceptable but it is because more people use this map. if we use real map and correct everyone to use we can win this perspective warfare of left west and pak
Feel it is pretty much the same in India. Red is BJP & blue is INC. for all the bravado of BJP, INC still holds sway over SC, Universities, press and so forth. Narrative war is the same- fascist, last election, Constitution in danger. And for people who think that BJP got more electoral bonds, Congress has looted country for 60 years- so they have more money and power!
Amazing and insightful. This podcast wasn’t taglines and headlines, it was a data and poli-sci class in one. It was thoughtful and deep all while being enjoyable for the listener. 👏👏
Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11,000 and got my payout of $290,500 every month…God bless Ms Susan jane Christy❤️
After I raised up to 525k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸and also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of TH-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand.
I could listen to this man all day such an insightful episode. First, I’d like to add that Obama was often mocked and accused by Trump of being Muslim and not born in America, to the point where he was forced to show his birth certificate. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama faced derogatory comments, being called ugly, rude, and even transgender. Consequently, Obama gave back to Trump at the Correspondents' Dinner. And the rest is history After living in America for almost 8 years, I can confidently say that it is not a racist country. The division in America isn’t based on race or political parties; it’s fundamentally about the rich versus the poor. Everything-whether it's the economy, race, abortion, or gun violence-boils down to the disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished.
Seriously just 244k views? I would have expected this episode to have broken the internet. If Balaji’s facts are true, this is one of the best episodes/content I have ever seen recently! Wow
Phenomenally insightful guest speaker. Thank you to the host who allowed him to answer at length. Regarding the assertion that 'the Left acts and the Right reacts' I would like to suggest that the Right represented the status quo, the traditional bastions of power and a vast number of previously marginalized populations ( such as woman) enjoy more freedom and AGENCY over their lives today, thanks to the left. That has to be acknowledged as a plus. However, radicals exist on both ends of the spectrum and it is heartening to see more thoughful people embrace Centrist ideas.
I really loved the deep insights which Balaji showed where I learnt a lot and hated dumb filler questions from Ranveer. Ranveer needs to learn and ask questions according to the guest’s knowledge.
@@deebhai6540 Balaji is an Indian American investor. He was present at Ambani wedding. Ranveer ne pakka kaafi aur logo ko bhi wedding se podcast ke liye bulaya hoga. Also jio sponsors trs
One of the MOST AMAZING PODCAST ON US POLITICS I have seen so far…I mean Americans should use this podcast to teach their younger generations about divisiveness in American society
Alternative view- Americans move to blue states because they are economically depressed, and therefore they can afford to buy a house. California, for example, is the most blue state and very strong economically. Most people can't afford California, but that surely doesn't mean that they leave because they aren't democrats.
This discussion was beyond stellar. The man made a solid case for being bearish about America. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in his meetings with Indian policy makers. Grapevine is that Modi is a fan of this man as well.
It's disappointing how much loaded language and bias there is in his analysis. To focus on the section about sexism since that is what I'm passionate about, I find it really interesting that he says that unmarried women vote democrat when there is also a clear correlation that young people are trending toward the left. Young women are obviously less likely to be married. But then he makes it clear why he is saying that when he says that these unmarried women are "married to the government". This, honestly, is sexist. Women can protect and provide for themselves. Also the assertion that the Republican men are strong is not factual in any way, how does he measure that? Because there are plenty of strong men on the Democratic side, who are very masculine. And on the flip side there are many Republican men who victimize themselves any time there is diversity in society and media. The truth is surely somewhere in the center. The idea that the left side is claiming that male and female don't exist and that no one knows what a woman is, also nonsense. I know what a woman is, I am one. The issue is that the Democratic side tends to accept the science that biology and sociology is much more complex than simply XX and XY chromosomes, and that transgender people exist. The Republican side denies this. Calling it a mind virus is simply wrong and bigotry. Politics is complicated, and it's difficult to talk about it in an unbiased and nuanced way. And it's especially hard to sift through information and get an unbiased factual perspective from a foreign country. I know from experience that here in the US we get a very misinformed view of India, and unfortunately I think this analysis does the same in the opposite direction.
I live in Sweden and work in IT. I am preparing my application to migrate to the US in the future because the EU has been in stagnation since the 2008 financial crisis. There are ongoing issues like the war in Ukraine, rising right-wing movements, inflation, and a lack of job opportunities. However, I am now worried that I might be making an even bigger mistake by moving to the US. I would appreciate some thoughts on this.
I've been using TH-cam for more than a decade, and as far as I remember, this is my first long comment. This podcast was incredibly informative, and in today's time and age, everyone should watch it. We should all start following and investigating national and global politics in depth, not just the way our ancestors did. Ranveer has done a great job bringing in such an expert who made the content as easy as possible to understand, even for someone with just a basic knowledge of politics and finance. Great work, Ranveer! Keep up the excellent work. For everyone else, make sure to comment and like the video for maximum reach. We don't want India or any other country, for that matter, to be run by demagoguery-it's learned and informed people who make democracy strong. Tbc, I'm not the proponent of democracy and very interested in understanding if democracy is even the best way for a country to be ruled. I request if we can have some expert who explains all the existing types of regimes such as democracy and give his/her knowledge about the same. Thanks!

This podcast is Gold if anyone wants to understand American politics and it’s far reaching effects on the society and politics all over the world
One of the best and most insightful podcasts I have watched in recent times as an Indian American ! Thank you for bringing this to us !!
I've been watching your podcasts for years but never felt like commenting. After watching this honestly it has been the most realist, authentic podcast yet. Balaji Srinivasan has gained a follower for sure, truly insightful.
Just want to appreciate balaji.
He is giving tools to indians to understand actual divisions in Usa and play along and maybe pushing to align with republicans.
Was always confused on different aspects on us politics, he cleared so many.
Dude he is just a bitcoin peddler and will support the side which promotes Bitcoin …. That’s it
@@prval5989 but bro you know what, i like his concepts of Network states and even communities like orania in south africa and india etc.
i also believe the world needs a reset in this rigged financial system with protocols like bitcoin (though its already occupied by rich which makes them more richer) ,not only bitcoin but he is frontrunner in such movements for decentralisation.
Thats why i support him
I think Ranveer tuned out two third into this interview. He was disinterested and everything was bouncing over his head. You could tell from the hasty exit he made at the end.
I thouroughly enjoyed this Interview and Balaji's is a brilliant guy with a brilliant mind. I love how he connects the various dots of politics-economics-popculture and sociology to gives us the true state of where America is. As a NRI this is both scary and enlightning at the same time. Thank you Balaji.
it's a two part podcast, probably 1-2 more hours' worth to come out in the next couple of weeks...however he, did seem disinterested, well that's because he was expecting a sensational 'Clear Trump Victory' as an answer which he didn't get, rather Balaji gave him insights on how divided the state of the Union is. But I won't blame him, sitting there listening to someone for 3+ hours, you would start to lose focus. Plus, Balaji was pulling one graph after the other. The audience has the ability to pause, understand, decipher, dissect, debate, conclude and be amazed by the infographics. For Ranveer it was like graph dikha diya bencho, aur ek graph dikha diya bencho!
Nobody can be truly unbiased.
@@deepmedsing9961 hehe true but its his show. We didn't put a gun to his head.
Right? I felt so too. Also Ranveer using words like d@mn, sh!t in his podcast does not put him in a good light , but that's a statement for another time. I felt he did not understand most of what Balaji was talking about. I however found him very interesting.
Ranveer can talk about energy and all that crap but logic and data clearly would be too much to handle, as evident 🙏😆
I'll advice indians to stay diplomatic on social media 👍🏼
First tell American, british and germans to.not be racist against indians and hindus,
@@VikramSingh-rs2pi LOL they are not racist at all.
@@Rugbydiariesand they shouldn't be.
@@Rugbydiariesthey are Racist,
anyone who do use Social media knows it very well, okey,

This is how a geopolitical podcast ought to be. Driven by Data and Visualization.
I think this podcast could well be the point of inflection for TRS.
The US is truly a Network State in splinters. Hope it gets better.
28:07 without tech revolution Modi wouldn’t have garnered the main stream support.
Media would be writing articles like “ How Rajiv Gandhi seeded IT revolution”
“How Rahul envisions socialist utopia where poor can live comfortably “ etc etc
I doubt Twitter has that level of impact in India. First world likes to think so.
Modi has grassroots following. Twitter or not he wins elections he wins.
Maybe, but the Congress was thrown out for rampant corruption and people were genuinely fed up by them.
Rajiv Gandhi did NOT seed anything in IT. Ask those who were begging for lower customs and excise duties for PCs and IT products, when he was PM. He was hopeless
Balaji failed to mention the recent move of people from Blue state(CA,NY) to Red state Texas … the large influx happened due to COVID, another reason was companies were forcing their employees to move to Austin… most of the people who moved were from Tech Sector during WFH era of covid for aforementioned reasons … another important reason was Bigger Houses which they could afford by selling their smaller and more expensive houses in either coast and afford a really big but cheaper house in Texas. I doubt the ideology changed because in 2020 election at one point of time it was looking Texas was turning BLUE…
Disclaimer:- Not affiliated to any political ideology.
Yeah, you can see his bias and political affiliation. Trump is a convicted felon, he sugar coated that part.
Blues go to Red states because they are economically well managed than the Blue states yet Blues will continue to vote for Democrats despite relocating to a Red state.
And also worth to mention lot of his analysis or commentary looked skewed towards the red.
@@TheMondalmithun Balaji is very bright. Very accomplished. However, I don't believe he disclosed his bias. He attempted to work in the Trump Whitehouse. I don't think he smeared the left. But this was not a learning moment for anyone. It was spin by someone who stands to benefit from these views being shared
@@Taylors-o7s So much truth here.
I love the host for one reason, he is just letting balaji speak, thank you so much
Glad to see Balaji popping up in interviews again. Very important voice in the world.
Always heard Data is OIL, but now i have seen it myself.
Great podcast but please work on not interrupting the guest! Not only does it breaks the flow of their thought, it’s also not polite as an interviewer.
This dude came here with Data! Love this. I am going to download as many infographics as possible from this podcast. So much to learn.
Another geopolitical podcast brilliant ❤🙌
Hope you will enjoy this episode 💪
He is a very smart man but I think it was evident to all he did not disclose his bias. Trump wanted him to lead the FDA back in 2017. He might just ha e a great chance of getting the job this time.
An academic, insightful and cerebral commentary on the state of America in particular and the western world in general vis a vis the rest of the world. A deeply intelligent mind prophesying the future with data and statistics. Can’t wait for the 2nd conversation. Brilliant podcast.
Fantastic video.....kudos to the speaker for speaking with facts,backed by data and showing everything real time.....just adds to the experience.....one of the best trs podcasts
One thing is clear.. I will never buy the 1 + smart watch.. (Chinese brand trying to disrupt Trump promotion campaign)
Just everything else lol
“Left acts, Right reacts” that’s what we are looking at in India right now.
The opposite more so. India is still primarily right wing.

Smartness of Ranveer!!!
Balaji has blue back ground, Ranveer has a red background!!
Representing both parties..
Nice
Well spotted
I follow balaji on twitter, but I don't follow Ranveer,
🔹he is a wise man, I like his insights,
The state of my country is depressing. Hopefully the future looks better. Money def isn't getting you very far over here these days.
That's not good, then😅
If US is going down, consequences will be felt everywhere including India.
1 Trillion$ debt increasing for every 100 Days. It's ticking. Truly scary. Don't know what happens to the world economy if US goes bankrupt.
By far one of the best snapshot of state of affairs in us, being an American could not agree more. Absolutely best this guy and RS for hosting this and covering it this way…respect 👏🏼
BeerBiceps - be honest again. U dont have to justify again & again that u dont take sides and are on fence. Its obvious dont have to state every 3 mins
He has to cater to all markets, he is driven by market not conscious
He has to pretend to be centrist so that is Woke leftist liberal gang from SoBo, Bandra, Juhu, Andheri West doesn't get offended.
He is trying hard to look unbiased.
This is mind blowing, eye opening, top notch podcast just loved it❤❤❤
Srinivasan’s perspective is very cogent. He’s an absolute treasure.
Can we take a moment and appreciate balaji he’s literally pulling charts and articles after articles. and he remembers the whole title word by word and recalls it just on the fly. That’s impressive!
And also just found the ratio of slopes 😂
Huge part of your mental furniture is filled in by things could be cardboard and you don’t even know it. You have to push on it and you’ll see if it falls over. 🤯
The density and sophistication of Balaji's takes are so incredible, I have to pause frequently to let my brain rest from the pummeling of profundities.
Ranveer, please let the guest talk without interruptions. Sometimes that breaks the flow of ideas.
He will never learn
I think he did a great job pumping the brake and TLDRing the American context and complicated topics.
Chup be... Nahi dekhna to bhad mein jaa. Uski curiousity uska channel uska podcast wo kuch bhi kare
I wish he had interrupted more. The long monologues filled with graphs and facts that are relevant only to US political junkies had me glassy eyed many times too. And the heavy pro-Repug bias was not too great either.
Everything known just got statistically verified! Great podcast. An important one.

Wow!! this will be amazing episode!!
Hope you will enjoy the episode 💪
@@BeerBiceps highly baised opinions now call someone on the left to counter his arguments, he showed a lot of data which makes people believe he is telling the truth,but thing about statistics is source and how data is collected matters also u stumped him when you asked if everything is democrats then how did trump win, and he kept giving same bullshit because twitter lol. he almost sounded like a spokesperson of republicans and we don't have any stake in their politics but its so clear what his agenda was.
@@BeerBiceps why are you deleting constructive criticism comments, this guy was very baised.
Biased as in? I thought he was neutral. @@rjsingh6504
I knew this was going to resonate well here because TRS audience leans right. I would also like to hear some left of center voices in this podcast to get a fulsome perspective.
Exactly!!! Should have a podcast where people representing both these views debate and Ranveer mediates
The economics presented in this podcast should be contrasted with the aspirations of the Indian state. Both populations play tug and war between grateful and ungrateful.
By far the best presentation on this subject i have viewed. Excellent guest. We are in the kali yuga. The Indian mind at work.
Caution: The ad of OnePlus 2R Watch plays almost EVERY 3-5 mins guys (and they're un-skippable, btw)!! 😤
I generally don't complain about ads in any TH-cam video, but this was THAT IRRITATING!! how can it be a good experience when there are ads EVERY FEW MINS throughout the video!
but, yeah, I had to go through this as watching/ listening to Balaji Sir was just so eye-opening!
pls Ranveer, remember why and for whom you started the channel. I understand money is important, but it shouldn't get in the way of the user's experience right? just a thought.. anyways, thanks to TRS for this video! I can actually see Ranveer breaking down and analysing India's situation like Balaji sir did for the USA... :) it's very much required I guess.
The ads are placed by TH-cam. Use VPN to watch from some developed country and your ads will dramatically go down. I saw only one ad in the entire video.
What a podcast. If someone's listening it Audio, they're gonna miss a lot of graphs!
Kudos to Balaji S ji 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, What a person!
One of the most insightful conversations I heard. Brilliant and balanced breakdown of a huge amount information and data for a lay person. Looking forward to the next one with more focus on implications for India.
This video is so informative ! I love how he has graphs and charts and data on o support each of his opinion ! I know things are crazy here in the states right now , Balaji gave a lot of additional perspective and things that are not so obvious vs what is circulated in the news ! Brilliant !!
Incredible - Balaji is amazing as always. Great podcast after long where the guest spoke more than the host. Exactly what I have refer to see in a podcast.

@@Zak-qh5tb that's not domain of wisdom. Tell me what you are doing to fix the problem, there are millions who can point to the problem.
@@cool-as-cucumber Our people are living nowadays excessively dreaming about ancient civilizational glory and talking about our ancient wisdom and they're perspectives have become so distorted that they are not seeing the terrible reality of our society which is right in front of our eyes, the corrupt society, lack of civic sense, collapsing institutions, mass unemployment, economic overburdening of middle and low income, terrible quality infrastructure, pollution issues etc. Now after the budget released today people are slowly waking up to the reality. The problem will be fixed by first accepting that we have huge issues now, then discuss about how we can solve these issues, instead of being blissfully ignorant and living on past glory, and we need more people to wake up quickly or it will be too late.
Amazing episode!!
A suggestion- please do ask this question next time - what can common people do to save themselves financially when this collapse happens or civil war takes place? What to do to save themselves in such a situation?
I would like to thank Balaji Srinivasan and the team at TRS for the profound insights shared in this episode, fair to say this has changed the way I look at and engage with american politics and journalism
52:25 please use correct map of India. I know this map is more acceptable but it is because more people use this map. if we use real map and correct everyone to use we can win this perspective warfare of left west and pak
I shared this with everyone who matters. Dude brought receipts
This was fantastic! Will share with my son in high school about to apply for college in the US

Hope he doesn't get infected by the woke virus 😂
Not sure he will understand. You have to live in the US for a few years and have deep interest to really understand what he is saying.
Feel it is pretty much the same in India. Red is BJP & blue is INC. for all the bravado of BJP, INC still holds sway over SC, Universities, press and so forth. Narrative war is the same- fascist, last election, Constitution in danger. And for people who think that BJP got more electoral bonds, Congress has looted country for 60 years- so they have more money and power!
But the irony is BJP is not even Right wing 😂.
Brilliant interview. Thank you for this conversation
Amazing and insightful.
This podcast wasn’t taglines and headlines, it was a data and poli-sci class in one.
It was thoughtful and deep all while being enjoyable for the listener.
👏👏
Crazy insights with the graphs!!! Looking forward to the second podcast!
I can give you in writing that ranveer didn't get 90% of what Balaji said. Balaji was brilliant as always. Very insightful

I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of TH-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand.
I am from u.s.. and Balaji always comes up with simple way of showing things on the most complex topics and how they are interrelated
This podcast is becoming so annoying due to ads every 3-4 minutes.
💯😢
It was a great episode! Can you bring Naval Ravikant on the show?
I could listen to this man all day such an insightful episode.
First, I’d like to add that Obama was often mocked and accused by Trump of being Muslim and not born in America, to the point where he was forced to show his birth certificate. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama faced derogatory comments, being called ugly, rude, and even transgender. Consequently, Obama gave back to Trump at the Correspondents' Dinner. And the rest is history
After living in America for almost 8 years, I can confidently say that it is not a racist country. The division in America isn’t based on race or political parties; it’s fundamentally about the rich versus the poor. Everything-whether it's the economy, race, abortion, or gun violence-boils down to the disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished.
Why do i see so many similarities between the Democrats Party and the Indian National Congress after listening to this podcast ?!
Emperor is naked I have been saying for a while. Its time to call the bluff.
Seriously just 244k views? I would have expected this episode to have broken the internet. If Balaji’s facts are true, this is one of the best episodes/content I have ever seen recently! Wow
What will be the effect of american economy collapsing in general and to india?
I really appreciate the guest list of trs..

Crazy how prescient balaji was
Phenomenally insightful guest speaker. Thank you to the host who allowed him to answer at length. Regarding the assertion that 'the Left acts and the Right reacts' I would like to suggest that the Right represented the status quo, the traditional bastions of power and a vast number of previously marginalized populations ( such as woman) enjoy more freedom and AGENCY over their lives today, thanks to the left. That has to be acknowledged as a plus. However, radicals exist on both ends of the spectrum and it is heartening to see more thoughful people embrace Centrist ideas.
looks like this is recorded before Jo dropping out, Things are different now
I'm glad Ranveer asked about Fox News when Balaji was going on about The New York Times. Both sides in the USA aren't any better than each other.
Dekho hum aagaye
I really loved the deep insights which Balaji showed where I learnt a lot and hated dumb filler questions from Ranveer. Ranveer needs to learn and ask questions according to the guest’s knowledge.

One of the MOST AMAZING PODCAST ON US POLITICS I have seen so far…I mean Americans should use this podcast to teach their younger generations about divisiveness in American society
Great podcast
The way he painted the screen in red, blue color and gray in middle shows the depth of the podcast.
Alternative view- Americans move to blue states because they are economically depressed, and therefore they can afford to buy a house. California, for example, is the most blue state and very strong economically. Most people can't afford California, but that surely doesn't mean that they leave because they aren't democrats.
Balaji is an awesome character. Keep him coming back more often.
Excellent
This discussion was beyond stellar. The man made a solid case for being bearish about America. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in his meetings with Indian policy makers. Grapevine is that Modi is a fan of this man as well.
Ranveer is too dumb for this conversation, prudent from the fact that he has asked very few questions to the guest for the first time.
Whats of the most thought provoking podcasts I have heard in a while. Possibly ever. Kudos to you both and thank you for your time.
It's disappointing how much loaded language and bias there is in his analysis.
To focus on the section about sexism since that is what I'm passionate about, I find it really interesting that he says that unmarried women vote democrat when there is also a clear correlation that young people are trending toward the left. Young women are obviously less likely to be married. But then he makes it clear why he is saying that when he says that these unmarried women are "married to the government". This, honestly, is sexist. Women can protect and provide for themselves. Also the assertion that the Republican men are strong is not factual in any way, how does he measure that? Because there are plenty of strong men on the Democratic side, who are very masculine. And on the flip side there are many Republican men who victimize themselves any time there is diversity in society and media. The truth is surely somewhere in the center.
The idea that the left side is claiming that male and female don't exist and that no one knows what a woman is, also nonsense. I know what a woman is, I am one. The issue is that the Democratic side tends to accept the science that biology and sociology is much more complex than simply XX and XY chromosomes, and that transgender people exist. The Republican side denies this. Calling it a mind virus is simply wrong and bigotry.
Politics is complicated, and it's difficult to talk about it in an unbiased and nuanced way. And it's especially hard to sift through information and get an unbiased factual perspective from a foreign country. I know from experience that here in the US we get a very misinformed view of India, and unfortunately I think this analysis does the same in the opposite direction.
Of course politics is complicated, but if you want to make sense of what's going on, some simplifications have to be made. The ones be did make sense.
I live in Sweden and work in IT. I am preparing my application to migrate to the US in the future because the EU has been in stagnation since the 2008 financial crisis. There are ongoing issues like the war in Ukraine, rising right-wing movements, inflation, and a lack of job opportunities. However, I am now worried that I might be making an even bigger mistake by moving to the US. I would appreciate some thoughts on this.
I've been using TH-cam for more than a decade, and as far as I remember, this is my first long comment. This podcast was incredibly informative, and in today's time and age, everyone should watch it. We should all start following and investigating national and global politics in depth, not just the way our ancestors did.
Ranveer has done a great job bringing in such an expert who made the content as easy as possible to understand, even for someone with just a basic knowledge of politics and finance. Great work, Ranveer! Keep up the excellent work.
For everyone else, make sure to comment and like the video for maximum reach. We don't want India or any other country, for that matter, to be run by demagoguery-it's learned and informed people who make democracy strong. Tbc, I'm not the proponent of democracy and very interested in understanding if democracy is even the best way for a country to be ruled. I request if we can have some expert who explains all the existing types of regimes such as democracy and give his/her knowledge about the same.
Thanks!

Gotta appreciate how prepared Balaji was. Unbelievable work ethic
