I listened to your interview with Lex today and enjoyed it! And to your comments on your bias towards being well mannered, we'll spoken and empathetic...etc. all of whichbJD is. But there is something to be said about the "larger than life" personality that Tru.ph bbri is to the table...that will spoken folks might not be able to accomplish. But you said it right - You take the good with the bad or the bad with the good.Whichever way you want to say it!
I really enjoyed the interview with Lex. I learned quite a bit today from the interview. I'm especially grateful for the book recommendation. I really value recommendations from people who have a real command of the subject matter. I am particularly interested in the history recommendations.
Listened to the pod, thanks for reminding me what a great book Endurance is. To me, Shackleton used the greatest tool to hire his crew, the vibe check.
I watch Breaking Points and at first I was as ignorant of your political background as I was was of Emily Jashinshy's. I first encounter Emily before she and Ryan left RISING. FAST FORWARD: I now realze the format you Krystal and perhaps RISING seek to create is a combinations of anchors structured on a point counter point. This is new and welcomed I hope it survives. Its better than Cenk and TYT. Still while listened to your interview with Lex I was taken aback by your use of the term wokeism. I kept thinking why doesn't he just say, affirmative action? You cite FDR but not the NEW DEAL. You cite LBJ but not the civil rights bill? Affirmative actions might be the grandchild of these legislative movements channeled under these administrations. Right? Then again as I listen to you go on about elites, I kept waiting on terms such as Neo-Liberalism and its beholding to corporate capture. Did I miss something? Do you not feel that the elites you did mention are the same as corporations that hold the power over elected officials? I came across a book and am reading it now: THE DEATH OF THE LIBERAL CLASS by Chris Hedges. I will continue to watch Breaking News and CounterPoints with more knowledge about you. I might skip some of the books but I did appreciate your forthrightness
I enjoyed this episode very much and appreciate a book list right before the holidays! I do want to comment on the chain migration comments that Saagar made. US citizens can only petition for their fiancé, children, adult sons and daughters, parents and siblings. It takes years after applying to get the green card.

Great interview Saagar. Thank you for sharing your recommended readings. Here's to being informed vs feeling informed!
Cheers!

I realize this is neurotic, but I listened to both Lex interviews this weekend. What great conversations
