The first Republican millennial to run for president proposes abolishing the Department of Education and the FBI. He’s defending Trump—and rising in the polls.
Every time I hear you, Barri, talk about Ukraine and Russia, I can’t help being surprised. It’s as if someone took your picture and put it next to the definition of “single mindedness”. You have had several people on your own show talk in depth about the origins of the war in Ukraine. Instead of opening up your mind to the possibility that maybe, just maybe , things are not as black and white as you would like them to be, you continue to pound on the drum of moral highground. That we are somehow better than others and need to keep watch over our world for “everyone” to be safe.
It’s as if you did not hear these guests talk about how after promises were made, NATO didn’t expand eastward once or twice but twelve times eastward, moving within miles of the Russian border. It’s as if you did not hear them talk about how Russian populations were being oppressed with language and culture cancellations. Somehow you missed it when they talked about 2014 , when a lawfully elected president was usurped in an openly American backed coup. Did you hear when they told you about all of the attempts at negotiations thwarted by the US ?
To listen to you describe it, it’s as if V. Putin woke up one day and said: “hmm, generals, I thing I’d like to attack Ukraine today. Who does that? Oh wait, mirror mirror on the wall... The U. S. In Iraq, etc. As long as it’s not in our back yard, we will support any war as long as we think it’s morally right.
The question is: What do you believe would happen if a similar scenario unfolded in Mexico? Please take off your blinders and just speak the truth without hyperbole. You can have your opinion but when you share information with the world, perhaps you could take all these discussions into consideration and stop using the word “unprovoked” every time you reference the war in Ukraine.
I know you to be honest and forthright. If you consider all of the history of this conflict, our own role in it and, maybe, just maybe you will start using a more nuanced and truthful approach.
Only halfway through this interview and am mesmerized by Vivek. And this analogy popped into my head regarding the speaking skills of Vivek vs Trump:
Trump: the 7 year old bully who's been held back in Kindergarten for the second time.
Vivek: the 14 yr who's about to defend his PhD at MIT
Yes, he's young, but what I love is that he's studied the history of this country and knows it like the back of his hand. We deserve him, or someone like him. We don't need another bully in the WH.
I listened to the whole interview. Did he use the phrase ‘our country’ enough… Not sure. He definitely has a skill for explaining away his contradictory statements about Jan 6 and 45. (Yea, I’m ‘psychiatrically ill’ according to VR). He desperately wants to stay in the good graces of the MAGA base hoping they’ll leave the cult while in the ballot box. Soon someone’s going to start a rumor that VR was not born in the US. Just wait.
Oh and he (and lots of far righters ) go on about the Hunter Biden laptop. That the story was suppressed. Same coin different side: if Comey didn’t drop a dime on HRC just before the election THAT election would have had a different turnout. And DT would still have claimed the election was stolen.
The person it was stolen from was Bernie Sanders. I’m no Bernie Bro but in 2016 HRC was anointed by the Dems.
As a former liberal, I absolutely love Vivek. The smartest and most articulate non-politician of our current times. Even if he doesn't win this election, he will go on to do great things.
This was my first intro to Vivek and I thought he was incredible. A very clear and unafraid thinker. Right now I am loving him and RFKj - honesty is #1 with me. No Trump and absolutely no Biden.
today is August 6. Just read in the news that Vivek interpreted the help to Ukraine as favor to Hunter Biden. Just when I began to like him, he would claim such a stupid interpretation. Does he propose, as some of worst Republicans do, that USA prolongs the war and sacrifices Ukrainians to some stupid egoistic, belligerent purpose? Does he deny Ukrainians presence of the free will? He would better explain himself. Ukrainians themself now repeat the mantra given to them by EC counties-they fight to protect Europe and Western values. Explain to them Vivek that they are just pawns in the hands of USA government for the sake of Hunter Biden
I really appreciate the way in which you interviewed Ramaswamy. You asked tough questions and this gave him the opportunity to shine. You and Tucker should moderate all presidential debates.
I am a veteran, as were male members of every generation of my family who have lived in this country. After listening to some of Bari's inane, ridiculous comments in the interview with Vivek, I am certain that if I polled them, they would believe, as I do that the sacrifices they made and the blood they shed, were wasted on people like Bati.
Bari, you impute base motives to people who like Trump and say that he encourages this. From my perspective, the same is true of our establishment politicians and the people who support them. They despise half the country, they produce media content to demoralize and insult traditional people. They incite racial conflict. They reduce our govt to a welfare office. They destroy the county's borders, etc. How you can think that Trump and his supporters are worse than these malefactors is beyond my ken, And yet all this is insignificant compared to the real problem in our country, a problem that your website, to my great disappointment, touches on only tangentially. Our govt is fundamentally corrupt. Our govt, in cahoots with certain political interests, manufactures fraudulent evidence to try to force an elected prez out of office and then to throw the 2020 election. Nothing else matters if we cannot fix this.
I am sorry for your father's family, but, regarding heraldry as the sign of actual Naziism seems a bit simple-minded. Perhaps you should read some interviews with members of the Azov Brigade -- their political views range from libertarian to moderate left in Western terms, not a breath of race theory or nonsense about Ubermenschen, just perfectly respectable political views and Ukrainian nationalism. They like heraldry that offends the Russian invaders. Last I checked, actual Nazis would not take orders from a Jew, and President Zelenskyy being a Jew makes your accusations against living Ukrainians rather hollow.
You might also recall that what the Holocaust is to the Jews, the Holodomor is to Ukrainians, and with Putin rehabilitating Stalin, rather than repudiating him and his actions as those of a Georgian madman (as he could had he wanted to ), you might cut a little slack to those fighting the reimposition of rule from Moscow which had, shortly before you father's family were killed, starved many of their ancestors to death, if they adopt the symbols of the Bandarists, who fought against the Soviets with the Nazis until they found the latter were just as bad, after which they (alas in vain) fought against both Soviet and Nazi alike.
I like Vivek and hope he and JFK Jr. team up and form a 3rd party. I'm sick of both the Dems and Republicans.
Vivek seems better and better the more I hear him.
BW’s interview was so colored by her TDS, wow!

Great candidate.. I learned a lot

Would be quite the turn up if heads of State of both U.K. and U.S.A. have heritage from India.
“I cannot square that with your support of Donald Trump”. Thank you Bari. I love you.

Bari is so wrong on Ukraine.
