    Pushed back but also was very much making the point ‘hey I’m one of you not a ‘globalist’

    This podcast came out after the Vance incident as he mentions the exchange with Sam.

      @jon-nyc I am sure he would have said he's one of you and not a globalist all along. Both he and his wife are persona non grata in leftist circles, and have been for years.

          Highly recommend Lex’s podcast with Modi. My politics typically don’t align with Modi, but you can’t deny the depth of thoughtfulness and optimism (not for all).

          Such a contrast to our politics of scarcity and economic fear.

            Has he watched Slumdog Millionaire? I feel like it might change his perspective on India.

              Spend 90 minutes with American geopolitical operative, and Trump's close friend, Steve Witkoff. Witness the rabid lunatic fringe that is Trump's inner circle, forging the history we are all living through.

                That FuCa Witkoff link should be in Jon’s National Humiliation thread. Pass the barf bag.

                  I thought it was a good interview with a decent person, though I only listened to the first 30 minutes.

                    Good conversation on Bari Weiss's Honestly today, with Jay Bhattacharya, new head of the NIH. The previous one, under Biden, called him fringe and dangerous, but it's difficult to believe that to be the actual case. He just disagreed with the mainstream at the peak of the panicked reaction to COVID, and paid the reputational price. He seems like the best-case scenario for a scientist you'd hope would be part of RFK Jr's administration.

                      There are independent thinkers, and there are contrarians. The latter consider themselves the former but it’s really just another style of groupthink.

                        I'm sure you'd allow that Bari is in the former camp, and I'm sure you won't listen to this interview to hear how strongly she disagrees with your characterization of Jay. And I'm sure you don't actually know anything about Jay, including that the former NIH head who called him fringe and dangerous, eventually apologized.

                          Bari Weiss interviewed Niall Ferguson about the tariff mess. I was expecting a lot of sane-washing like with the Harris interview but it was much more of a nuanced and big-picture discussion. Highly recommended.

                            The Niall Ferguson interview was good.

                            Rogan had on Douglas Murray and a guy named Dave Smith, a popular libertarian podcaster in the rogan-sphere, who takes the other side of lots of issues Murray is passionate about. Murray's intent coming on the podcast was to stick up for the more mainstream positions that he thinks are underrepresented on Rogan.

                              Murray was on Andrew Sullivan’s pod this week. They went at it a bit as Sullivan’s more balanced with respect to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

                              I got his book which came out this week. Saving to listen to it on a flight Sunday.

                                  Sam talked to Douglas Murray in his latest. Worth a listen. I just started listening to Murray’s new book.

                                    Tucker and Glenn Loury. Loury was "fired" by the Manhattan Institute recently, over his sympathy for the Palestinian perspective.

                                    I don't listen to Loury much anymore and no longer subscribe, but I'll try to make my way through this. I failed the challenge of his book, to accept his brutal honesty and transparency and not lose respect for him. So much of it was so gross. But, he's still an interesting and honest thinker.

                                      Bari Weiss’s latest is ‘How China Conquered Apple’.

                                      Scary and sad but a must-listen.

                                        Just listened to Tyler Cowen interview Jack Clark, cofounder of Anthropic.

                                        Very interesting and wide ranging discussion on AI and its effect on the economy, government, education. Not heavy futuristic stuff for the most part, but things we’ll see in the next 5+ years.

                                        Highly recommended.

                                          Cowen recently signed on with FP. He's actually why I subscribed. I'm actually slightly iffy on Weiss herself these days.
