Saagar Enjeti on Trump: “Greatest professional disappointment in my life” | Bulwark Podcast

When you're America first, but choose to commit voter fraud.

Say what you want about this guy; I found this interview an entirely constructive endeavour. Our civilization is losing the capacity for people of differing ideologies to sit together and explore these differences and look for common ground. That Mr. Enjeti is willing to air his regrets and explain his position to his ideological "adversaries" is the sort of thing we should be encouraging, regardless of whatever motivations one might ascribe to him. I congratulate Tim Miller (himself an exiled neo-con admired by liberals) for pursuing this interview, and points go to his guest for finally accepting.

I've never been particularly impressed with Sagar. He seems to have wrapped himself in pretzels in this Trump era

He’d probably still vote for Trump if Trump ran for an illegitimate 3rd term. Lol
I hate ppl like this. Always wanting to school you, when he has been so fucking wrong about way to much.

This guy kinda sucks.

Why get ANY insight from someone who VOTED for trump????

Saagar is the guy who said all Canadians hate each other.

See thats where your wrong immigration is the only thing trump made a good faith try on. The crazy people ruined it by protesting ice. They where very hosnest about what they where doing. If the liberal judges and states just did what they where supposed to do like the republican states ice would just have to pick these people up from jail instead of going to get them.

He’s a dumbass who can’t defend his positions with anything by “my values.” No facts. No analysis. Stop treating this guy like an adult. Good grief.

Very happy to hear this debate between two opposing views. I agree with Bulwark, but the other gentleman has some interesting views, whether I agree with him or not. This is how we have to come together.

His teeth are too big

This is a much more interesting interview than I anticipated. Saagar clearly has a very good grounding in military logistics, capabilities and state of readiness of the US... I'll bet he has "Janes" as his favorite reading material. But his rapid delivery is no substitute for understanding the bigger geopolitical picture, which he clearly does not. If the weaponry and support that trump has devoted to his military "excursions" had been employed towards the support of Ukraine, Putin's invasion and government would likely have collapsed by now. Even with the minimal assistance from trump that Ukraine has received, the Russians are getting their asses kicked. The only reason that Putin has not thrown in the towel is because of the lifelines that trump continuously throws him.
The President and his Secretary of War Crimes have embarked on one ill-advised aggressive military action after another, with each successive one lessening our collective readiness for the next major conflict we will face. Trump has been actively trying to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin, for his own devious reasons that have nothing to do with the interests of the American people. If Xi Jinping had any doubts about attempting to take over Taiwan before trump's latest blunders, he no doubt sees nothing stopping him now. In watching this fellow, people should bear in mind, that this guy does not seem to have had any problem with the entire "Project 2025" agenda that he voted for. He's OK with DOGE, ICE, attempting another auto- coup (ongoing), pardoning of violent insurrectionists, continuously lying to the people etc., etc. He also does not understand that NATO has been the most effective and successful military alliance in recorded history, and worth every penny the US has ever put into it.
This guy thinks knowing a lot of facts and talking fast makes one's arguments more persuasive... In regard to the idiots who have ever voted for trump he is correct. Like a blind squirrel who has found an acorn, he is right about how foolish the trump/hegseth military adventurism has been. But otherwise, he still rationalizes and justifies the rest of the sordid and despicable agenda he has supported. Saagar is a typical apologist for fascist ideas wrapped up in glib delivery and a smug self-assurance that they are smart enough to ride the tiger they have supported without falling off. He and his ilk had best prepare to be eaten by the monster they have enabled. I'm one of your shameless 2%ers. You have to be these days to separate the wheat from the chaff hucksters like him are peddling.

Nice. Sagaar is a tool. Glad we all came together in this.

Big Weed people, you heard it here! Saagar says all those hippies lobbying DC are destroying the country and making it stinky to boot.

Big Weed’s lobbyists are the worst…”Look, I appreciate you guys offering to organize some of our campaign events, but we aren’t having the fundraiser at Taco Bell”.

“If I could go back, I just wouldn’t vote” all you need to know.

I think Trump ran into a wall with domestic policy with the courts and protestations, and he discovered the one area where he can sort of do whatever he wants was foreign policy, so he started focusing there.

Agree with this title!

Some good points made by Mr. Henjeti. I’m grateful for the interview. A bit tough to listen to at times. Good job Tim.

As we move into the last of April, this was a month ago, I wonder what he thinks about things now. Trump has gotten no better. And he remains an idiot.

Zionist isn't a jewish slur. It's a belief that is recognized.

Why are we listening to anyone that voted for Trump?!! I don't respect anyones opinion that couldn't predict this calamity especially after his first disastrous term! Ditch this dipstick--Trump-who the hell picked his dang cabinet as well as diplomats etc.. And yes, Saagar is an idiot trying to redeem his crappy reputation. Saagar's creepy.

3:17 "Con-Drag-ulations"? 😂

Interesting debate

He said nothing

All these talking heads now will vote again for Trump for a 3rd term - WHY? Because Trump will spin his con (Biden, Obaman, Hunter's laptop, Gays, Lesbians, Trans...etc) they will buy it and vote him in again.

The USA is launching an average ratio 100-to-1 cost ratio for every interceptor to knock down a 3D-drone with lawnmower engine that is costing the Iranian $20k.

- SM-6: $4.3M - $9.5M (High-end/Ballistic)
- Patriot: $4M - $12.7M (Land-based)
- SM-2: $2.1M (Ship air defense)
- ESSM: $1.7M - $1.8M (Medium-range)
- RAM: $900k - $1M (Short-range)

How can we have any confidence in Saagar's analysis when it produced the decision to vote for the current administration and he has not explained how and why his analysis failed.

Ben Shapiro-like logorrhea

What exactly did Trump do to shut down the border, other than converting our country into a hell hole that people don't want to enter?

well that wasted my time, he doesn't know why Trump covers up Epstein? No mention of Maga racism, the thing he delivers on and why they continue to support him? give me a break

Anyone who voted for Trump twice is a fool, especially in 2020 and 2024. Screw this guy.

Never thought I’d understand Saagar, but this interview has helped me a little to an extent. But he definitely made terrible choices assuming Trump was trust worthy regardless of who’s around him.

How is Israel more important than Ukraine to the US?

😂😂😂😂 they are complaining about Hasan and they put this piece of garbage on? You cant make this up..

He says Our troops won’t commit crimes against civilians. BS!.they raped, killed millions of civilians, in the Iraq war. Julian Assange was hunted down for exposing all that crap. The U.S. is responsible for interfering in countries for corporate and U.S. national interests. They did it in Iran, joining the British, to reinstall the Brutal Shah of Iran and removing President Mossadegh to stop him from nationalizing Iranian oil.

“Now she’s gotta go galavanting around Fulton county searching for bamboo ballots or whatever…” 😂

It’s amazing that a man can be so incisive and witty with respect to these clowns while simultaneously being so moronic in his explanation of how he thought this might somehow go well.

sorry I can't listen to this guy

Sager understands. Sycophants are everywhere. The Ununited CULTS Of America
