Sahara; “Russiagate????” Has he read the bipartisan Intelligence Committee’s volume V report?? I prefer Presidential campaigns who have zero contact with known Russian intelligence assets or Russian mobsters, same thing. Had the FBI Not investigated that campaign, they would have been derelict in their duties just as Sagaar is derelict in his own by inferring there was anything wrong with the investigation. Lawfare blog wrote a nice summary of Sagaar can’t read the 900 page IC report, it’s called “A collusion reading diary.” Feel free to educate yourself Sagaar.
Lex is reticent to making critical comments, which is fair. But for me he must continue to be careful with being standoffish when his guests make critical comments. Its a delicate balance that I see him walking
trump was for banning tiktok then they gave him money and he was for keeping it, the fact that this guy thinks money doesn’t change politicians mind is absurd
I watched much of the Rogan/ trump interview. The notion that this alternative media is any more legit than MSM is laughable. Trump spewed so many unchallenged lies with Rogan only nodding his head in agreement it was embarrassing. As always, with this new media, meet the new boss same as the old boss.
Name the media of truth? Didn’t think so. Fact is media all have agendas, their own slant. Some are only in it for the cash some want to report what they see in a balanced way but still it’s through a humans eyes so easily bias.
MSM lies 20x as much as anyone. When Trump got shot they said he fell down the stairs due to loud noises lol shit happened in front of like 50k people, it took them 8 hours to call it assassination attempt. If they lie about something that happened in front of 50k people, they will lie just about anything and everything. MSM is a full blown democratic propaganda machine and their little minions take it as a gospel. Democratic party is done, finsihed. Now they wanna get rid of woke lunatics, but they brainwashed people too much. The effects of their madness will be seen years after. They will lose 2028 and 2032, no way majority of independents will vote for those clowns anytime soon.
Dude. It’s called “rim light”. For all the big brain stuff on here you think a decent DP may have some influence on the bad lighting of these podcasts.
lex should feel ashamed with the horrible public service he has provided in the trump interview, he is really showing his true face when he accepts a guest that should be held accountable above most of people, apparentely is more important to keep open doors to the most abject liars once it brings a profit to the podcast
What should he do? Close doors from people that are controversial? The side Lex shows had been about respect, love and the message that we can undestand each others by talking, we need more people like that.
Fact is he gets the interview because he is willing to be somewhat friendly. Its a catch 22. Better to make good on an opportunity, and then get shredded in the comments if need be. You accept what is so
Everyone is tired of the democrats cancel culture. Have your opinion, just know that no one shares it in 2024. Now off to bluesky with you, so you never have to encounter a differing opinion again. 😊
He explains it. It's not a person or even group. It's an ideology that has been cultivated over decades. When institutions are around for a long time, they are built up of people who have been there for a long time too. These people stay even when presidents change. And they get used to and grow accustomed to a system that they don't want to change. So when someone comes in to change all that, even a president, they'll resist. Unlike a company, there are laws that prevent the firing of many people and it makes hiring others hard because only a few people have the security clearance necessary at that level, so the hiring pool is small.
Saagar is against the legalization of weed and the deep state has been de-conspiralized (made up word) to mean permanent government or inappropriately powerful beauracracy, for conspiracy haters such as yourself

As a leftie who did not vote for Trump I'm looking forward to him laying waste to all our institutions - maybe the truth will come out!
Saagar always thinks inside the box
Literally all he said is correct it just depends if Trump is able to battle through all this
Sahara; “Russiagate????” Has he read the bipartisan Intelligence Committee’s volume V report?? I prefer Presidential campaigns who have zero contact with known Russian intelligence assets or Russian mobsters, same thing.
Had the FBI Not investigated that campaign, they would have been derelict in their duties just as Sagaar is derelict in his own by inferring there was anything wrong with the investigation.
Lawfare blog wrote a nice summary of Sagaar can’t read the 900 page IC report, it’s called “A collusion reading diary.” Feel free to educate yourself Sagaar.
He's definitely in the box
What did he say that was wrong though
Never underestimate the real sincerity in some of these ghouls.
That cokeis golden🪖
Bright guys can be so dim.

@ or you a new troll.
dude really think MSM doesn't lie at all🤣🤣
@ that’s all they do. Stopped following msm past 2 years

Hmm, you find lex proselytizes too much?
lex should feel ashamed with the horrible public service he has provided in the trump interview, he is really showing his true face when he accepts a guest that should be held accountable above most of people, apparentely is more important to keep open doors to the most abject liars once it brings a profit to the podcast

Saagar lay off the bluntz dude, there's no deep state
He explains it. It's not a person or even group. It's an ideology that has been cultivated over decades. When institutions are around for a long time, they are built up of people who have been there for a long time too. These people stay even when presidents change. And they get used to and grow accustomed to a system that they don't want to change. So when someone comes in to change all that, even a president, they'll resist. Unlike a company, there are laws that prevent the firing of many people and it makes hiring others hard because only a few people have the security clearance necessary at that level, so the hiring pool is small.
It is called the government lol
Saagar is against the legalization of weed and the deep state has been de-conspiralized (made up word) to mean permanent government or inappropriately powerful beauracracy, for conspiracy haters such as yourself
Claiming there is no deep state is so naive. Your view begins with the premise that people don't crave power and cannot be corrupted.
