Ro keeps stating he believes in the prevention of the deaths of women and children in Ukraine. Where was he while women and children were dying in East Ukraine the last 8 years?

Masterful work. You are at the top of your (or anyone else's) game here.

Ro has to be talking shit to be completely oblivious to the 2014 Euromadain coup. The only other alternative is that he isn’t a thoughtful and intelligent person, which just isn’t at all the case. He knows what happened. Édit: this was an awesome episode.

Bri, you continue to be a breath of fresh air! You are a master interviewer and Ro is a bunch of neolib bullshit on so many levels whether he denies this or not...he continues to go along with the narrative of 'unprovoked' attack and 'a just war' ...where have we heard this before.. Keep up the great work!!

This guy is such a fucking idiot. If this is really the progressive flank of electoral politics in the US it is difficult to have any hope.

This is an incredible interview. Thank you for pressing him on the poignant issues and exposing the DC brain rot. I’m literally yelling in my car at some of the bad faith takes engrained in this man’s skull.

Why do we have to keep hearing from him tho? Glad Bri pushed him a bit but he still sucks.

I'm not sure I've ever heard a politician's feet held to the fire this strongly for this long. Between this and the Call-In RE self-censorship on college campuses, I'm tripling my membership amount immediately

I think this says more about the lefties in congress than it does to the Pod. Ro is an affable and astute interlocutor for capital, masquerading as a lefty. He is exceedingly good at it though. Kudos to him.

Believe it or not, he was tweeting about it! Even arguing against arming Nazis lol. He somehow has forgotten all about it, just like he forgot about deleting his tweet at Max.

Bri, I respect you so much. You are amazing and much more intelligent than me. That said, the one fundamental issue / blind spot I see over and over is to position the US as the most important actor on the world stage, at all times. When we say that the US caused Russia to invade Ukraine, it is a bit like saying Jada *made* Will slap Chris. She didn’t. And the US/NATO did not *make* Russia invade Ukraine. Please read Putin’s writings - he’s been obsessed with retaking Ukraine for decades. Your points on NATO in unwinding this war are important. But to center the US as everyones’ motives is its own kind of American Exceptionalism, which I might disagree with….

Woah woah, we can all agree that Putin is following some wacked out logic. However, to suggest that critically investigating what the US Military/DOD/DARPA have been doing in the Ukraine for the last 8 years is equivalent to saying, "the US caused Russia to invade Ukraine" is CRAZY. We can ask questions (and listen to answers) without signalling that we support Russia.... unless you're ensconced in Western media... then you definitely cannot ask any questions and you must accept the answers you're given, regardless of the level of quality or integrity or rationality or plausibility (or contradiction). Please think for yourself. Or at least, think about thinking for yourself.

John, I’m not saying we shouldn’t take into account US/NATO involvement… I’m saying that to *center* it as Putin’s primary motivator is the error. And I see it repeated over and over by ppl brainwashed by far left sentiment. Ukraine was the focus of Hilter’s military agenda in Europe as well. Many dictators/empires, extending back to the Greeks, have wanted to capture Ukraine - in Hitler’s case, he wanted to balance the German economy by taking ukraine and its agricultural powers. My point is simply blaming US policy is close to madness when there are a complicated set of factors at play.

This roast of him via a barrage of impeccable questions was epic, classic and so sweetly satisfying…Thank You!!!

I am late to the party, but I just wanted to express my gratitude for this interview. You did such a great job of articulating my feelings as a voter about the Democratic party in a way they might actually take seriously. I've also never seen an American politician actually have to respond to real questions before. It made me an instant subscriber.
