Biden considering a terrible cabinet member?
At least he's consistent.

[IResonateWithU]

Sirota is always so rational, thanks for having him on.

[maxgeneral]

"how are you even in the conversation?" They throw out someone really bad so they can encourage people to settle for who thy really want.

[davinderrehal]

Pick the most insane pick as a trial balloon, so that the rest of nominees looks reasonable.

[petersepall]

Is a cognitively declining old man is not a good choice to manage the complexities of the most powerful nation on earth? Who could have foreseen that?

[johnsaville]

What drives me crazy with these types of analysis is that they don't offer up any suggestions on who would be a good choice to run these government agencies. It's great that they are uncovering possible problems with each nominee but it would be better if these people, who consider themselves expert enough to provide an analysis of each nominee, were to do some research and come up with a list of their own suggestions. Also Biden's people should put together a pointed resume for each nominee listing the reasons they are choosing these people and why they are the right people for the job. This is basic marketing and it's crazy to think someone hasn't thought this process through more thoroughly.

it's such a shame that none of these people will be charged for manslaughter

[DickInMesaAZ]

Biden needs to change his advisors. These idiots don't even consider the downsides of these people they are putting up for these posts. It doesn't say much for Biden's thinking.

So our social services were in lined to get cut, but maybe by a woman, which would be WAY more _diverse_, at least.

Give me a damn break. And Medicare4All.

Why does David Sirota have a framed picture of General Zod on his wall?

[nathandwyer]

It helps when a corporate ghoul also looks like the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz.

[jasonshuttlesworth]

I think the real question here is why does David Sirota have a picture on his wall of the villain from Superman 2?

[cloudyskiesnow]

I appreciate that Saagar had Sirota on, even when Krystal isn't there and we know that he doesn't usually agree with him.

Front facing books in background: ‘After The Music Stopped” by Alan Blinder and “A Crisis Wasted” by Reed Hundt.

[youknowthefunnythingis]

I'm sure this won't be the only thing he's terrible at

[FloridaMan]

thank you Ryan Grimm for co-hosting. You guys did great!

[rrosaseconda]

Damn! I was hoping to see Sirota in discussion with Engeti AND Grimm! Need to to hear THAT discussion of the contemporary political situation.

[suzanneharris]

How about Laurie Garrett for OMB? She knows A to Z about viruses & is a very well spoken advocate for public health & MFA. During this pandemic, we don't need any Republican-lite elected official.

[stephenjones]

I clicked on the video thinking Biden had selected Donald Trump or Mike Pence as health czar.

[deladonics]

Is that a framed photo of General Zod?
