Bernie Sanders has been on both here and Joe Rogan. Other than Trump, which right wing politicians have done an open podcast on a neutral platform such as this? It's mostly just that politicians in general avoid these platforms.
Thank you so much for that comment. I never understood that until your explanation. But now I understand it. I was in the Army Reserve for a few years and on a training weekend or course, you'd spend the entire time with people you don't know outside it and often with people you've never met before. But over just a 36 hour period together, you get to know each other (for better or worse, although usually better) perhaps even more than many of your own friends, in a certain way. I suppose golf might not be digging trenches in the rain while some corporal is barking at you but at it would be far more engaging than a dinner.
Inauthentic people can't do long interviews. They run out of canned responses and risk relationships if they tell too much truth. I'm not a trump guy but the dude says what's on his mind. Some of it is good, some bad, but he's less of a bot than a lot of politicians. People respect that.
People respect someone where at least 75% of what he says is either an outright lie or evidence of massive incompetence or ignorance? Really? America is dumber than I thought.
@@shinobi-no-bueno en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump During his last presidential term Trump made over 30,000 false or misleading statements. America is dumb. 49 percent of America voted for a guy who told us that Hatian immigrants are eating the dogs and eating the cats. His health czar, RFK, is trying to get the polio vaccine banned. It's gonna be a fun four years, lololol.
Tucker Carlson got fired from Fox News because he cost them an insane amount of money for lying and defaming specific people. He didnt really get canceled. He cost his employer a shit ton of money and was fired for it. Seemed like the right thing to do, as Tucker has turned bat shit crazy after he left Fox. Not that he wasnt crazy at Fox, he was. He just wasnt batshit crazy.
Makes me think of those press meetings during Covid here in Canada. They all asked the same question everyday and never what we wanted to know.. like they literally asked questions that sounded like they were told what to ask.
Left wing and liberal are NOT the same thing. Lex would be one of the few who could get more than Bernie on his show because he’s respectful. It’s a lesson for the others including commenters. Being respectful to people you disagree with is the way.
That’s because anyone can pleasantly sit and lie and evade answering questions, give platitudes and repeat rehearsed lines for 30 minutes, can bob and weave and actually not say anything of substance . Trump and Vance both did 3 hours free flow on Joe Rogan.
@@roberthieber1 Even so, you don't see Harris and Biden doing that anywhere. And Rogan would be fair to even a very left-wing person. He has in the past, for example, Bernie Sanders. Trying to paint him as some right-wing operative is bad faith.
@ he has jd Vance and trump on right before the election and gave them a softball platform. He definitely tried to push trump over the top knowing his influence. It’s fine he’s allowed. But it’s true
@@roberthieber1 Yes, he went toward Trump/Vance this time around. But he gives almost every guest a softball platform - he's not a journalist and doesn't pretend to be. He would have done the same for Harris, but she was unwilling to do two to three hours unedited. The real problem is that Harris is not authentic enough to do those kinds of interviews. She even struggled with her answers on The Breakfast Club.
@@scratchpenny well said. It’s absolutely amazing to me that so many people cant see this. Harris coulda had her softball chat too, and avoided it.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
They are shallow ASF. It's harder to stage a fake conversation for hours. If these ppl sat down and talked for 2 or 3 hours, it would show just how selfish, hateful, and disingenuous they truly are. Bc they know that it's hard to hide body language for 3 hours.
@5:37 -- _"From what I understand, all of us blew it out that night..."_ I think a major factor in this shift is the advent of streaming services and the devices that can deliver them. In particular, there's been a shift in viewership of alternative media sources from the desktop/phone to the living room TV. In that sense, it's fair to say that these "alternative" sources are becoming "mainstream" now... just without the hammer-lock control of big-money advertisers which has been the downfall of legacy media's credibility.
Machiavelli's 'The Prince' suggests spending as little time as possible in the public eye and that it's only necessary to maintain an appearance of morality, rather than actually living a life of good (I'm paraphrasing).
Probably because democrat politicians have to basically represent a coalition of very very different kinds of voters and any opinion they share will upset some portion of this base. On the right the overwhelming majority are lock step behind trump and are either willing to look past or don’t care about disagreeable things he might say.
Exactly! The Democratic Party is a coalition of groups that only agree on one thing, rent seeking for their identity group. Beyond that, there is little holding them together and government largess is reaching its limit with the national debt. How do you appeal to Jews and Muslims, Muslims and gays, citizens and illegal immigrants, etc.. Then there are policy conflicts like the war on poverty and importing poor people or cutting the military budget and raising tension with Russia and China.
The White House should do two briefings a month. One for the traditional folks, we have to buy their dumb seats, the second for podcasts and other nontraditional sources who get to come for free.
I don’t think he is pretending to be objective or that he is conservative. I’ve never heard him say anything conservative as a principle he loves by. If you have I would love a reference to a quote from a time when he did say something of that nature.
I've found the press briefings uninteresting forever, no matter what administration was in power. The gotcha type questions and short, shallow answers don't help understanding. I'd rather do without, and just advise any administration to deliver a pertinent speech by the president whenever a topic got very hot.
This narrative is so stupid. Conmen who have lied for a living can easily do it for 2-3 hours. If you think otherwise, you’ve never met a used car salesman.
I think the White house press secretary needs to set up an online portal to provide for a selection of "new media" people the ability to submit questions through. These people are not able to have someone living in DC to go in and be physically present in the room the way legacy and mainstream media companies are. I am sure Lex Friedman, Tim Pool or Alex Jones could submit some very pertinent and important questions that the press core never would and they wouldn't have to limit the participation to the people in the room.
I think the US government should have its independent PUBLIC server to host these podcast/shows as a way to counteract TH-cam's influence AND to ensure that relevant news reaches the American people. Like it or not, the internet has become the public square, and the government has a responsibility to uphold and protect the ability of Americans to speak freely.
It'd be difficult to remember all the scripts of hour long questions even though it was already previewed before the interview. They need telepromptes to speak
Irony = Long conversation about our government and how things get run. Then a ten minute long conversation on how to run a press room in a way not just for the establishment that also helps the little guy. Insert some Huxley quote here.
Lex, please can you interview this brilliant scientist podcaster Lex Fridman... you two would bounce so well of each other! Get your mate Sam Altman to make a Lex Cloan trained on every podcast/interview you have ever done. and then interview yourself!
Trump should become the first prez to allow top political youtube or social media journos into the press room. I don't know who would best serve that role. Tucker Carlson is too big to do that sort of thing, but people like Max Blumenthal, Matt Taibbi, etc. It would break the brains of the NBC/CNN talking heads.
The best way to get leftist leaders is to have on more us reps and congressmen. People like Marcus Luttrell, Massey, MTG, Gaetz, Hesgeth and Patel. Dudes will be lightning rods for attention and rebuttals
Saagar break away from Krystal. She's been so messed up by Roe v Wade being overturned that she has full blown TDS. She's definitely heading back to her MSDNC roots.
Maybe you guys overestimate your importance? Since when did you deserve anyone's time for that long? Rogan seems worth it, for his viewers. I mean, I really like these discussions, just don't get so full of yourself. lol Also, Kamala's other podcasts were long and good enough. You guys sounds insecure. You got the Trumper and it was so boring I had to stop. A good edit is better then 3 hours of an old man rambling about dumb stuff...and I would have expected Biden to be just as bad.
Yeah this is a horrible take. Politicians are elected officials that earned their positions under the guise of representation of the people. If they look to anyone with an audience whom the politician wishes to represent in office, then by definition that person is "worth their time". Trump did ramble for 2/3s of Rogans podcast, and what the left doesn't understand is that his willingness to do so showed a level of authenticity that democrats are unwilling to show.
Fascinating information! I have often wondered why interviewers are allowed to keep asking the same dumbas* question over and over. The interviewee should borrow a response from Law and Order trials just start answering "Object. Asked and answered."
Lex, you would be surprised by the number of conservatives who work in science, tech and medicine. I suppose that the difference is that people who work in government positions -- including academia -- lean to the left. This is because they are loyal to the hands that feed them. On the other hand, individuals who work independently in such capacities are often conservative. I've worked in government (NASA), academia as well as the Silicon Valley biotech and tech industries. Even in NASA and the Silicon Valley, there are more conservatives than the sector average. As for the difficulties in interviewing left-wing leaders: I think that this is because people in the left find that they must hide their views for fear of alienating some of the different facets of their "coalition" of voters. They cannot say what they REALLY want to accomplish or what they REALLY believe -- because, for them, "silence is golden." When John Podesta's emails were hacked in 2016, one of the most profound leaks was the one in which a major Democratic Party donor commented about how the Democratic Party prefers "unaware and compliant citizenry." So, for Democrats, this is why Kamala Harris was largely quiet when it came to specifics. Obama was all about generalized "hope and change" -- but never specifics on trade, energy defense, or domestic policy.

Because any longer than 30min and the truth would start to seep out.
That bothers you? when all Trump does is lie
@@saguirre760 Hyperbole isn't going to convince anyone of anything. Try a different strategy and you might be successful.

It's why golfing with someone is so important in business. Spend 4 hours in a cart eith someone through ups and downs and you really get to know them
you typically play 3 maybe 4 holes depending on seriousness of the meeting .
Thank you so much for that comment. I never understood that until your explanation. But now I understand it.

Except the right is the establishment.
@@squatch545 so it’s the “left”. The real left never came to power.
@@squatch545lol rightttt
Except every single left wing leader is an establishment, while it's a mixed bag with right wing leaders

You just didn't do that.
Makes me think of those press meetings during Covid here in Canada. They all asked the same question everyday and never what we wanted to know.. like they literally asked questions that sounded like they were told what to ask.

Because they’re all actors.

If a left wing leader were to do an interview for more than 15 min, it would be clear they have very little “genius and interesting nuance”
Bernie Sanders is genuine and will always have more substance than an individual like Donald T.
what interesting nuance do you get from any trump interview? lay off the alpha brain. it's making it too smooth

Great topic for convo Lex
Indeed great question, and a really important one.
Machiavelli's 'The Prince' suggests spending as little time as possible in the public eye and that it's only necessary to maintain an appearance of morality, rather than actually living a life of good (I'm paraphrasing).
Libs not left
Shout out to my boy Lex I been rockin w/ ya since the Kanye interview
It’s called political theater. They can’t have anyone interfering with their narrative.
Yeah but internet media will be/is theater too.
@ the ones pretending to be a traditional media newscast sure are. Agreed.
Here's your answer.. By keeping it to an hour or less, they can deflect with clip points so they never actually say anything.. This hides their agenda
Simple, the more they talk the more unintelligible they become.
Probably because democrat politicians have to basically represent a coalition of very very different kinds of voters and any opinion they share will upset some portion of this base. On the right the overwhelming majority are lock step behind trump and are either willing to look past or don’t care about disagreeable things he might say.
Exactly! The Democratic Party is a coalition of groups that only agree on one thing, rent seeking for their identity group. Beyond that, there is little holding them together and government largess is reaching its limit with the national debt. How do you appeal to Jews and Muslims, Muslims and gays, citizens and illegal immigrants, etc.. Then there are policy conflicts like the war on poverty and importing poor people or cutting the military budget and raising tension with Russia and China.
The White House should do two briefings a month. One for the traditional folks, we have to buy their dumb seats, the second for podcasts and other nontraditional sources who get to come for free.
Or just get rid off all main stream media completely and just do independent media. The msm ratings bar fox are as sagar said low.
Can we just have a show with him and Robby Sauve already.
And Kim Iverson.
@@rosscampbell1173 Fuck Yeah!
Peter Doocy should have the main chair. With the rest of the gang. 😅
They structure the interviews in such a way to avoid controversy and longer interviews have a higher chance of going off the rails.
Yep. They might let something slip that's not part of the agenda.
Lex is a perfect example of how you can be a super nice person but still embrace conservative ideologies while pretending to be objective.
I don’t think he is pretending to be objective or that he is conservative. I’ve never heard him say anything conservative as a principle he loves by. If you have I would love a reference to a quote from a time when he did say something of that nature.
Classic destiny viewer
Pretending??? Very strange opinion you have
Still coping after a month?
I've found the press briefings uninteresting forever, no matter what administration was in power. The gotcha type questions and short, shallow answers don't help understanding. I'd rather do without, and just advise any administration to deliver a pertinent speech by the president whenever a topic got very hot.
Long form discussion is the only form I'll trust (but confirm anymore. It's hard to hide true intentions for 2-3 hours .
This narrative is so stupid. Conmen who have lied for a living can easily do it for 2-3 hours.
If you think otherwise, you’ve never met a used car salesman.
@willnew4745 if you spend 3 hours with a used car salesman and don't smell the bull, then have fun with that 150k mile Jeep Cherokee.
Karoline Levitt needs to watch this
Great convo.
bc they can't back up their statements. if u literally jus keep working out their ideas they fall off a cliff.
I think the White house press secretary needs to set up an online portal to provide for a selection of "new media" people the ability to submit questions through.

I like saagar unfortunately the women who sits beside him destroyed the show and its credibility the past couple years shes terrible just cringe !
Both of them are irrelevant, they will not be part of the future. They are just spectators.
Saagar please create a solo podcast. Love your info
Robert Caro mentioned
I think the US government should have its independent PUBLIC server to host these podcast/shows as a way to counteract TH-cam's influence AND to ensure that relevant news reaches the American people. Like it or not, the internet has become the public square, and the government has a responsibility to uphold and protect the ability of Americans to speak freely.
Today I learned Obama is left wing 😂
I wish Trump would find a spot for Saagar in his administration. He's not a fanboy, very smart, and would reach a lot of people.
Talking points and ideology dry up after 15mins
I want to hear everything they have to say. What else can I hold against them?
I would love to meet this guy
“The left” isn’t even that left anymore, Obama? 😂
It'd be difficult to remember all the scripts of hour long questions even though it was already previewed before the interview.
They need telepromptes to speak
I’m not sure how it would work exactly, but it should be done on a rotating basis IMO.
That was quite a rant. Love it though 🙏🏾
When one speaks on emotions versus data and facts then time runs out quickly.
100% agreed with this idea!!!
Irony = Long conversation about our government and how things get run. Then a ten minute long conversation on how to run a press room in a way not just for the establishment that also helps the little guy. Insert some Huxley quote here.
Two of my favs!
If they decide to go on a podcast for more than an hour for an interview, they will list the subject(s) they will/will not talk about.
SAAGAR iIS A REAL JOURNALIST
Lex, please can you interview this brilliant scientist podcaster Lex Fridman... you two would bounce so well of each other! Get your mate Sam Altman to make a Lex Cloan trained on every podcast/interview you have ever done. and then interview yourself!
old people who watch tv are dying now,tv is old,dead era. podcasts are new "meta"
To much to hide they don't want to slip up and say a no no
Saagar is great. His takes on Ukraine and Israel lack nuance and his cohost is terrible. That being said he seems like a good dude and he is sharp.
No successful podcaster will want to sit in the briefing room for two hours a day. That would be so uninteresting to them and their listeners.
Why doesn’t anyone interview you, Lex?
Trump should become the first prez to allow top political youtube or social media journos into the press room. I don't know who would best serve that role. Tucker Carlson is too big to do that sort of thing, but people like Max Blumenthal, Matt Taibbi, etc. It would break the brains of the NBC/CNN talking heads.
Interview Bukele, Kagame, and Ibrahim Traore
Great idea… I have the alternative media ask the questions… Because they ask the questions with the public want to ask ourselves!
I miss Saagar. Krystal and Kyle are too irritating.
Yeah. Stopped watching in December of ‘23. Krystal is too much and Kyle…well he’s Kyle.
So many Americans of Indian descent ARE SO BRIGHT!!
He needs to leave Breaking Points
I think they’re disingenuous and know their narrative will crumble with even the slightest pushback
The best way to get leftist leaders is to have on more us reps and congressmen. People like Marcus Luttrell, Massey, MTG, Gaetz, Hesgeth and Patel. Dudes will be lightning rods for attention and rebuttals
Never heard anything about Lex's show for Harris.
Liars cannot keep the stories straight for a long time. Honest people don't have to remember the lies they have told before to be consistent.
Saagar break away from Krystal. She's been so messed up by Roe v Wade being overturned that she has full blown TDS. She's definitely heading back to her MSDNC roots.
Because they’re full of it
Saggs needs to get away from Kuklinkskis missus !
Name me a Republican government official who has been on Lex again?
Maybe you guys overestimate your importance? Since when did you deserve anyone's time for that long? Rogan seems worth it, for his viewers. I mean, I really like these discussions, just don't get so full of yourself. lol Also, Kamala's other podcasts were long and good enough. You guys sounds insecure. You got the Trumper and it was so boring I had to stop. A good edit is better then 3 hours of an old man rambling about dumb stuff...and I would have expected Biden to be just as bad.
Come on man. This is a desperate take.
Yeah this is a horrible take. Politicians are elected officials that earned their positions under the guise of representation of the people. If they look to anyone with an audience whom the politician wishes to represent in office, then by definition that person is "worth their time". Trump did ramble for 2/3s of Rogans podcast, and what the left doesn't understand is that his willingness to do so showed a level of authenticity that democrats are unwilling to show.
So much cope it hurts. Keep that level of denial and the Reps will sweep again in 4 years.
Because there’s no “there” there because they’re fake?
I watch the election on Breaking Points.
Lex is just mad they won't talk to him
His career is in shambles.
Left wing. lol liberals are not left wing. Obama was 80s Regan-lite
Fascinating information! I have often wondered why interviewers are allowed to keep asking the same dumbas* question over and over. The interviewee should borrow a response from Law and Order trials just start answering "Object. Asked and answered."
Saagar needs to go independent. Quit watching their show years ago. I appreciate his takes, but Krystal is a Team Blue talking head.
Hmmmmmmm…… I wonder why? A mystery.
It would be a shame if trump takes that power away from the corrispondant association and gives it to alex jones 😂
Just here to say how terrible Krystal is
Lex, you would be surprised by the number of conservatives who work in science, tech and medicine. I suppose that the difference is that people who work in government positions -- including academia -- lean to the left. This is because they are loyal to the hands that feed them. On the other hand, individuals who work independently in such capacities are often conservative. I've worked in government (NASA), academia as well as the Silicon Valley biotech and tech industries. Even in NASA and the Silicon Valley, there are more conservatives than the sector average.
As for the difficulties in interviewing left-wing leaders: I think that this is because people in the left find that they must hide their views for fear of alienating some of the different facets of their "coalition" of voters. They cannot say what they REALLY want to accomplish or what they REALLY believe -- because, for them, "silence is golden." When John Podesta's emails were hacked in 2016, one of the most profound leaks was the one in which a major Democratic Party donor commented about how the Democratic Party prefers "unaware and compliant citizenry."
So, for Democrats, this is why Kamala Harris was largely quiet when it came to specifics. Obama was all about generalized "hope and change" -- but never specifics on trade, energy defense, or domestic policy.
It’s because lizards only have about a 30 min attention span, max.
Don't trust this man he's pro daylight savings in November! JK Saggar FTW, but really, down with DST!
Broad talking points are easy to mislead others. Going jnto detail destroys their position usually
You e already clipped this….
Because they CAN'T FACE THE TRUTH. The truth does not support their deas
Lex is such a boring interviewer. I don't get his popularity. Then again, I never understood the popularity of the Lobster King. But here we are....
Super short interviews are just as useless as listening to Trump lie, deflect, and gaslight for 3 hrs.
This guy is so boring 😂
Lol, Saagar thinking that the US-North Korea relationship is reset.
"Left-wing leaders"?? How original! Is anyone in US politics, regardless of position, a leader?
Nanci Pelosi, Chuck Shumer, Obama are definitely “leaders” because other D’s listen to them and follow their “advice/orders.”
🤷♂️
Bernie was making a solid attempt of it two different times, and got shafted by his supposed "allies" both times.
Clickbate.
Pro Tip: "When" and "Whenever" do not mean the same thing... ~10:35
