Stamping out the cancer of institutional corruption is an issue both the left and right voting base should unify over.

[brandonpurdy]

Why can't we have more Republicans like Saager?

[josecadena]

Hit the nail on the head. I’m a veteran raised in Texas and have never considered myself a socialist, but I’ve been called a socialist. When I hear someone like Bernie Sanders call himself a Democratic socialist I’m like ok... this sounds good. So I don’t care, call it what you want but I want a worker movement.

"If you're calling Obama a socialist, words no longer have any meaning." LOL. Crystal 👑👑👑

"The government isn't the only institution that can hold power in our society."
*SAY IT AGAIN SO THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK CAN HEAR YOU!*

Saagar might be the best right winger I have ever heard. I'm a Bernie Bro, but I trust him way more than the corporate hacks on CNN and MSNBC. Whenever I think that there is nothing that can unite the left and the right in America any more, I watch this show to feel better

[thinkx]

You know, every day I devote an hour or so to this show. At first, I didn't vibe with Saagar, but I continued to watch for the insightful interviews and Krystal. But lately, Saagar is absolutely crushing it and he has won me over. His coverage of the corporate kowtowing to China was exceptional, but this might be my favorite piece yet. Saagar, this was absolutely sensational. I have come to appreciate your eloquence and passionate delivery. This kind of corporate corruption is one of the preeminent issues of our time. More Americans need to see this.

Socialism for the rich, capitalism for everyone else.

[xjarheadjohnson]

Jesus....
I want a list of "representatives" who attended.

[ianhesford]

Conflation of democratic socialism (something we already have to some extent) with authoritarian socialism is laughable to me and most of the rest of the "progressive left" and working class. In the face of deregulated crony capitalism the fear mongering falls flat anyway regardless of the missing nuance.

[nathanswann]

Liberty: "freedom from coercive concentrated power." You nailed it Saagar.

[JonPais]

Sagaar is awesome 90% of the time, and this is one of those times.

[lisasimpsonyt]

Wow, Saagar! Even though I’m a democratic socialist what you said is so right on.

[jashar]

Hands down one of Saagar's best segments. I'm so turned on right now.

[dannedifyoudo]

This is PERFECTLY PUT! AMAZING!!! AND FROM AN OPEN-MINDED CONSERVATIVE?!!?!?!

Rising is incredible.

[forevertall]

Seeing you angry gets me fired up. I'm happy to see a conservative rightly mad at what's going on.

[TheFovak]

"Now SHUT UP and go to your second job"
hahahaha Saagar with that poignant satire!

[snakeplissken]

"we have socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor" - MLK

[Alexander-bcdh]

Saagar is the kind of conservative i believe i could have a discussion with. Yes i disagree with him on many issues, but he is able to acknowledge Facts and different viewpoints, and that is more than you can say about most of the right.

[fluidcreativity]

Damn... Saager takes me on an emotional rollercoaster that I can enjoy lol
