  • Krystal

    Krystal talks as if she’s in the room when all these decisions are made and like she knows the inside of everyone’s mind and what they’re thinking. If Saagar isn’t on don’t bother listening. Krystal has the mind and problem solving of a 5 year old

  • Lenin’s apocryphal term ‘Useful Idiots’ comes to mind

    Saagar’s anti NATO and anti Ukraine stance dovetails with Russian/FSB psyop. That’s not suspicious. /s

  • Grim has got to go

    It’s gotten really bad, with Ryan Grim trying to mumble through a story! Sounds like my grandmother trying to tell a story.

    I use to look forward to the stories they covered, but now it’s more about making a name (click bait) with negatives, making everyone mad about everything!

    Let me know when you get back to your roots!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

5/15/26: Trump Confesses "We Did It For Israel", AI Experiment Goes Wrong, Chuck Park, Ro Khanna
Q: What should Democrats do to handle the Trump-China-Iran dynamics according to Ro Khanna?
Khanna argues for engaging with opponents and base voters, pursuing economic rebalancing with China, avoiding decoupling, and seeking collaborative solutions on safety standards, AI, climate, and a potential JCPOA-style agreement to open sea lanes while protecting American workers.
5/12/26: Bibi Blames Social Media For Anti-Israel Criticism, Derek Thompson On Billionaire AI Takeover
Q: Derek, you're always thoughtful on this—do you think AI is a bubble, and what signs peg you more toward or away from that view?
Derek argues that certainty is unwarranted, but the trajectory of private AI investment—tens to hundreds of billions regularly, outpacing immediate revenue—demands skepticism about a smooth landing; yet rapid run rates and vast private capital could shift the odds away from a pure bubble, so the prudent stance is to reassess as reality evolves.
5/7/26: Saudis Turn On Trump Over Project Freedom, Trump Says $8 Gas Is Worth It For Iran War
Q: What role does insider trading play in the episode's narrative around energy markets?
They highlight a large oil short position taken just before an Axios report, suggesting potential improper advantages and calling for investigation into possible wrongdoing.
5/7/26: Saudis Turn On Trump Over Project Freedom, Trump Says $8 Gas Is Worth It For Iran War

5/5/26: Iran Hits Critical UAE Facility, Prof Pape On Iran Escalation, Trump Courts Fetterman, Voting Rights Act Debate
Q: How do the hosts view the domestic political implications of the international crisis?
The hosts argue that the crisis could reshape domestic politics by influencing party strategies, alliance perceptions, and policy responses, with potential effects on gas prices and electoral calculations around military intervention and foreign policy credibility.
