#531 | Saagar Enjeti: The Trump Vibe Shift Comes to Washington - The Realignment Podcast

Saagar, listening to you talk realpolitik and giving your honest informed opinion here, then flipping over to BP to listen to you cohost with a foaming activist driven by her emotions... it's depressing. Sorry I don't tune into BP as much as I'd like to, to support you. I just can't take it, and it's getting worse. I wonder where you could find a more intelligent partner....

Saagar Fetterman

Great conversation. It will be interesting to see if MAGA outlives Trump. Could Vance be Trump’s Socrates or Paul of Tarsus? Is it just a coalition based on anti-Leftism that can’t ultimately accomplish any goals apart from renaming a few things and disabling DEI?

People aren't giving Vivek enough credit for the EO's that have already been signed.

Marshall, Marshall. Marshall.... consistency is your strength! Your analysis of the past, present and future are wrong.

Saagar back to these podcast cause he know breaking points with Krystal isn’t cutting it anymore. Shes muzzled him. At least he’s been fighting back lately.

So what I learned here is that nobody wants to tackle the 36t debt. The tech right is trying but that's just political poison. Well, I guess america can just see what happens if it's not addressed then.

The Bulwark is a hilarious clown show.

Saagar is one of the best political opinion commentators today.

I totally like his analysis and how honest and real he is about. What’s impacting people in our politics. He has a new fan. 🙂🙂

I find the hate on Krystal here a bit much. I still like her and I think Saagar does too. Maybe Marshall doesn’t tho. It’s nice to see Dems out of power but she’s not wrong about what a horrible person Trump is. Don’t negatively polarize.

First time back to your channel in a year. I’ll give you 5 min out of respect for Marshall. Saagar, you’re dead to me.

Why does Saager own a Dave & Buster's hoodie?

Democrats switched on the border because Trump said it.. they had 0 policoes to make the USA better, so their only strategy was to be the opposite of whatever Trump said

Organic my ass! Russia gate! Or me too!

No suit Saagar? Oh man. For shame. You are one step away from Fetterman!

I came to say how much I enjoy sagar not being interrupted by Krystal, but it seems I am way late to that party!

Don't call Saagar a co-host, Krystal is his co-host. She should just get segments when he's nice enough to let her lol

Dems were reactionary to maga, now saagar is reactionary to Dems without saying anything substantive .

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 we are back!!!!! Listening to WorldEconomocForum virtual speech!!!!!! America is back baby!!!!!! $$$$$$$$

Skiing idioms are hot right now

I only came to listen to Saagar but I hear this other guy talking banalities with a pomp

You need Right populism to achieve Left populism. Curb immigration to keep healthcare costs down, and protectionism to keep wages high.

Marshall really demonstrates his intellectual superiority to Krystal😅

Excellent talk today guys. This gave me so much insight into the future of American politics and the conservative movement.

The problem I have with progressives is that they were all fully onboard with the COVID madness, extremely anti-2A, and generally act like they don’t have any idea of how to accomplish anything they propose.

Saagar still comes on this pod?

Saagar needs to understand that being pro-crypto and pro-dollar are not necessarily mutually exclusive. I'm not sure if the Trump administration has a balanced or sophisticated view of this, to be clear. But the proliferation of stablecoins, aided by some actual regulation, will give the dollar more surface area around the globe, furthering it's grasp on the economy.

This is the smartest political discussion I’ve heard in 2025 without a doubt.

IQ has skyrocketed without Krystal

Dweebs of the year 😂

i’m literally 25 and don’t remember lol

Interesting conversation, but I feel like Marshall monopolized the discussion at times and was difficult for Saagar to find an opportunity to contribute.

This entire conversation makes me want to vomit. The unipolar moment is over and its a dog eat dog world.
I dont care if you feel something has a "doge" feel to it. I care if it makes our country stronger.

I used to listen to these two. I wouldn't any more they are DC party elites. If you are looking for a in touch analysis I wouldn't bother.

Lots of RINOS going to get primaried. I think after the California fires, Democrats may be challenged as well. Of course, the economy will be key.

the best part of Marshall is that he is a DEI product and then he shames the very thing that gave him a chance. Classic Negligent Narcissist

Thanks for the nerd take guys

HOODIE SAAGAR

Vivek is a much better politician than jd.

I wonder how many of those 4 million resistance liberals had a mental breakdown during Biden era and voted for Trump? 😂😂😂

It’s underestimated how much the hostage crisis hurt Carter? WTF, no. LOL. How can you be an American political analyst who specializes in presidential politics and say that publicly?

This is good stuff.

Next week....
Keeping up with the American Empire.

1) Donald Trump names Football as Soccer
2) Americans saved the world from nukes that they drop on the world
3) Americans saved the world from the Jihadis that they were funding
4) America tells everyone there are no Countries there is just an American World
5) America finds the cure for the virus that they created
6) America names Lithium, Cobalt, Oil and Natural Gas as essential resources and therefore it belongs to America.

Saagar... Please either rescue the burning corpse of the once amazing project Breaking Points... or let that shit show finish burning itself out of existence and do Realignment with Marshall instead. The whole Monday January 27th 2025 Broadcast was just one giant Krystal and Kyle opinion piece with Emily there just laying on her back not pushing back on anything. You (and pre-Kyle Krystal) gave me hope that unbiased news with honest views and discussion could be had where facts and opinions and emotions could be parsed in a mature way. If that's not the case, can you point me in the direction of what you two used to stand for?

Saagar was at his best when analyzing Lincoln and his many overreaches and the warts that all got covered up and turned into hagiography because he was assassinated in his hour of triumph and didnt' get to even enjoy his victory for a month.

It's not altogether different from the cult like status given to MLK Jr. who raped and sexually assaulted women and did a whole lot of nasty stuff that has already been written about by a few select people who were allowed to see the MLK wiretap tapes and photos a few years ago (and are about to be declassified thanks to Trump). A whole lot of people are going to be in for a shock when they learn that he was far from a saint.

Why can't the Tech CEOs "Pull themselves up from the BOOTSTRAP".

This election continues to confirm the Republicans knowledge that Americans are UNBELIEVABLY UN, DIS or MISinformed coupled with EXTREME selfishness. The things they know a SMIDGE about are HIGHLY personal/ small/ self centered/ things that smack them in the face EVERYday. As a result of KNOWING this, the Republican Party and Donald Trump over the last NEAR decade have learned that they can say nearly anything about anything as long as they blame ENOUGH of it on NON white or non males or a combination of those 2 things. Couple that with Joe Biden turning into the Crypt Keeper mixed with the guy who can't talk. There ya have it.

Breaking Wind podcast by Crystal Ballz and Saggy Endorsement.

Saager: "I don't think it'll be as chaotic as the last time around." Just gonna let that quote sit here for everybody watching this in the future.

Saagar Enjeti should start a podcast with Kaitlin Collins, someday Kaitlin Collins is going to gradually age into being Krystal Ball. Might as well go for someone younger, who's closer to his age. Meanwhile Krystal Ball should start a podcast with Buck Sexton.
