Donald Trump To Appear On Lex Fridman Podcast

Lex Fridman announces he is doing a podcast with Donald Trump soon.

Trump is going all in on podcasts, something that is typically rare for a presidential candidate.

Fridman has over 4 million subscribers on YouTube with an audience who is interested in the "nature of intelligence, consciousness, love, and power."

Recent guests on his show include Elon Musk, Andrew Huberman, Ivanka Trump, Sam Altman, and Mark Cuban.

Fridman's show will likely reach millions of potential voters who are undecided and/or people who aren't considering voting for Trump.

The development comes as Kamala Harris continues to refuse to give interviews.

If Kamala did podcasts, she would lose by millions

 @SnailAvaLibertarian from Texas  agreed…2yrs2Y

I do think the Democrats are being smart by hiding her but it won't have the same impact as when they hid Biden.

Americans KNOW Biden. He has been around for 50 years. Every household knew Joe Biden in 2020.

People don't know Kamala Harris. She has never received votes and did nothing for four years as VP.

 @UnityMeerkatDemocrat from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

“Americans KNOW Biden.”

Mf people KNOW Trump also. He doesn’t need podcasts and thousands of interviews, but here he is looking desperate than ever.

 @BlissfulMonkeyVeteran from Arkansas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

How is he showing up looking desperate? He is going into "enemy territory" to get a message across. He is willing to "make deals" with people like RFK Jr. and Gabbard as examples to move the ball forward for the country. That's what a President should be doing. He is far from perfect. He is brave, strong and actually has show temperance in his use for power when he was President.

 @ChowderAutumnRepublicanfrom South Carolina  agreed…2yrs2Y

These guys are used to basement campaigns. A real campaign like Trump's looks abnormal to them.

 @Pe0plesPartyCamelRepublican from Texas  commented…2yrs2Y

That’s because Donald Trump doesn’t need pre-scripted questions and answers. Trump also has real policies that will Save America instead of globalist agendas that will cause hyper inflation and wipe out what’s left of the middle class. Anyone who votes Kamala is killing themself

 @SoulfulOryxRepublican from Illinois  agreed…2yrs2Y

This should be interesting. Lex may have a calm and reserved delivery, but he's one of the sharpest minds in the game with a significant reach on both sides of the aisle. Smart move by Trump.

 @S3nateBenForward from Kentucky  commented…2yrs2Y

I hope Trump doesn't say the same lines he says over and over and over and actually answers questions. The answers he gives now are just redundant. He HAS the ability to speak in a more detailed way.

 @DeterminedP0l1cy from Kansas  agreed…2yrs2Y

sometimes the truth is redundant I agree he could communicate better and cover more topics. I think Tyranny vs freedom is the biggest. Repetition is necessary though

 @K3ynesianZebraLibertarian from Washington  commented…2yrs2Y

A great strategy, probably influenced by Vivek. That´s how Vivek became not only famous, but popular in a relatively short period of time. He did all the podcasts.

He should do Valuetanement as well.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What are your thoughts on politicians participating in long-form discussions outside traditional media, and do you believe this makes them seem more relatable or trustworthy?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Given Kamala Harris's current stance on not giving interviews, how do you perceive the contrast in communication strategies between her and Donald Trump?

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
