I love this show, the back and fourth civil discord is so rare in media.

At 10:49 Saagar just admitted the whole GOP party of the working class is over. Those votes on the house for $2K checks kind did on him only 44 REP voted for it, thats less than a quarter of the GOP. He is been pushing this rethoric since the election in Nov.

[docholiday]

I like Saagar's perspective. Even if I don't agree.

[gemineye]

The biggest lesson to learn from this is to vote for a third party

[leahvogel]

Saagar acts like this is typical politics and nothing else, if Obama had tried this crap republicans would've called for his head

[doobiesam]

Poor Saager lol..."Josh Hawley and *other populist* Republicans." It's...It's just Hawley. And he's solely populistic on stimulus.

Having a 2 party system is totally stupid, there is no reasonable alternative when both sides just react to each other’s craziness

[psychedelicunicorn]

We are NOT A DEMOCRACY! A democracy is one person, one vote. we are a constitutional republic that votes elected representatives to vote on our behalf. The electoral college elects the president. Our education system is even more of a joke making us willfully ignorant to a system that is actually meant to work FOR THE PEOPLE. It’s our responsibility to abolish government when it infringes upon our life, liberty and our pursuit of happiness. All history is current. The time is Now. These snollygosters won’t do it for us

Did trump actually accomplish anything for the average ( not rich ) American?

[scottcomfort]

God it’s so nice to see civil discourse and respectful disagreement.

[lorincowell]

"Ghouls." Pretty funny. And appropriate.

[GreyCrowe]

Ted Cruz playing "Just the Tip" w/ Trump.... Sounds about right

[aggedyran]

Trump saying "a couple of things I did wrong, " Saagar, think....Trump would never say that, never, not in a million years. There will be no self-reflection.

[bencastagno]

I try to watch as many rising clips as I can but some days I only have time for the radars. I think it would be beneficial (at least to me) to put the word radar with the hosts picture in the thumbnail.

[rickplieth]

Ted Cruz and authentic. There's an oxymoron.

[milesobrien]

Saagar's *BIG TAKE* from the last year? *Lying is BAD!* But apparently not for moral reasons. NO! Because is is not politically expedient! ROFLMAO!

[Rowdyyy_rod]

I hope they go through with it. We should get rid of the electoral college.

[BearTow]

It's a weird form of populism that opposes the will of a majority of people. "Give the people what they want... except when it comes to electing leaders."

The Hill joining that milly club. Keep up the good work!
