Listening now. Regardless of what you think of him, I gotta credit him for this. Not many of the potus candidates could do this well in a long form interview like this. Maybe Desantis. Elder for sure. Trump lol.
Hard to disagree with what he's saying.

Can you imagine Trump not being a caricature and actually being himself and engaging in a half-intelligent 2-3 hour long form discussion podcast?

People saying they want him to go on Joe Rogan. I can't even imagine that, or him being able to have a mature, calm and honest 3-hour conversation where he is not in character. he did ok on Nelk Boys, but he was d*cking around and fluffing them up for half an hour or whatever it was. Never got to see the real him. I think Rogan would be a disaster though and very awkward...would love to be proven wrong.

Eh. Trump used to live stream his cabinet meetings. You can probably go back and find some. He'll probably be alot like that.

Who is Shawn Ryan?

No one questions Vivek can communicate. Problem is that is really all he has shown he can do outside of make a lot of money by getting people to invest in his Pharma companies and Hedge funds related to them. He hasn't even really built the companies he is more of an investment guy that raised a ton of cash, got things going, then sold. He made a ton off of an Alzheimers drug that ended up never getting to market. He made his biggest payout when he went IPO with his company and got a $3 Billion valuation even though they had 8 employees. He's been masterful at buying and selling at the right time and insulating himself from losses. I have no question of his investment acumen but fundamentally he is a Warren Buffett/Gordon Gecko type who buys and sells he isn't a builder or someone that has managed large organizations.

Vivek is a guy who got a Degree in Biology but isn't a scientist and got a Degree in Law but isn't a Lawyer. He used those degrees to make a crapton of money in investing. He started the Anti ESG Hedge Fund last year but that seems to have been more of a PR stunt than a serious investing vehicle.

I have really tried to look for something else he has done but I have yet to find it. He's a Wall Street guy through and through. Trump at least built companies and managed massive payrolls and had tremendous diversity of experience. Vivek hasn't really done anything of significance in terms of community involvement or civics, he's advised a bit but he has very little knowledge of the government outside of FDA approvals for drugs and academic.

I mean maybe I have missed something but I really haven't found anything beyond that listed above on him. He's really smart. He's a really good communicator. He's an outstanding investor who knows how to make money. I'm probably most concerned that he has never truly managed a large organization to go along with no experience in government at all. The thing that scares me just as much is the level of confidence he speaks about how he knows everything better than everyone else even though he has already been proven wrong on multiple counts. His level of hubris is staggering. The fact people just listen to him and don't look under the covers at all is also mind boggling to me.

I don't dislike him, but I think there are 3 or 4 better choices.

Vivek is yet another moderate. We have more of those than we will ever need.

I disagree on that, I think he is a libertarian but my concern is lack of track record not ideas. I like his ideas for the most part.

I don't particularly like him for a few reasons, but what do you consider him a moderate on?

Yeah, no thanks.

I wish he would stop sending me Spam. I have never authorized receiving any emails from him.

DeSantis did a phone interview with Shawn Ryan on July 18th for about 15 minutes, its on Spotify. It seemed like DeSantis wanted to come in to do a real interview at some point. Shawn Ryan has invited any candidate to his show to speak their platform so his listeners can make informed decisions.

Ah yes, the moderate who wants to shutdown the FBI, IRS, FDA, CDC, department of education, gut the Fed, and remove 75% of the federal workforce. That moderate?

Yeah I heard that one too. I'm still on team Desantis. But I respect Vivek for doing 2 hours with Shawn.

I know a while back Rogan said he would not have Trump on. But Shawn sent an open invitation to all candidates to come on.

This is probably the best podcast I've ever listened to. It was pretty mind blowing hearing him talk about how everything went down at that airport in Afghanistan. It'll get you upset at the lack of leadership by some in the military. But at the same time it'll make you thankful we have guys like Tyler out there. They played his congressional testimony as part of the podcast.

Shawn is a great interviewer, his podcasts are long form, he'll let them go as long as the guest wants to talk. He's probably become my favorite podcaster. I love listening to him talk to Marines, SEALs, Delta operators, etc. He had a guy on two weeks ago that was a flame thrower operator in WWII in the Pacific. He had DeSantis on recently but I didn't listen, it was only a 15 minute interview.

He hasn't been podcasting long so he doesn't have a big library but I have yet to listen to one that I didn't enjoy. Many of his interviews are military guys just letting it all out, their whole family and career history.

I also highly recommend listening to the interview with Dallas Alexander. Canadian sniper with JTF2 (Canadian Special Forces) who was part of the world record for longest kill shot. The guy lost his career because he wouldn't get the COVID shot or even mask up in meetings.

I don't understand these plans though. Let's take IRS. If he shuts down the IRS, does that mean no Federal taxes? Or does it mean that he will create a new department for Federal taxes?
