i'm listening to the lex x jared kushner podcast on the flight from chicago to tokyo and hmmm... some thoughts.

firstly, idk if this is true for others, but the picture i was given was that this guy is an idiot and did nothing. reality seems opposite actually listening to him. for all the comic relief that trump and his policymakers make for the world, I'm not saying I'm on that side at alllllll but at the same time what we've had for the past 4 years has been total shit too. it's no wonder so many people wanted a change, it makes sense they wanted change.

wanted to come back to this and add a few things after finishing the whole thing (which I assume some detractors didn't do)

1. i never said jared is my new bff or that I actually believed everything he said in this podcast.
2. he is very inexperienced but seems like dug into the work and at least *tried* to learn as much as possible, even if he was wrong on some things.
3. its a nearly 4 hour long episode and lex talks very little. a podcast is a medium essentially built to sell yourself, its a marketing channel. despite that, jared presents a stark difference from the eccentricities, insanity and dramatics/theatrics of trump. though to be VERY clear, listening to this prior to today would NOT have changed my vote.

😆  well I'm listening to the bernie episode now

you are a rare gem that's down to listen to both sides - respect!

Good for you for listening. I didn’t like JD Vance, and then Rogan and an old interview he did on his book impressed me a ton.
