Hardly anyone cares about most of the questions you asked during the podcast You could have asked about the Indian students conditions in 2025/26 based on which party wins
Request you not to jump in every now and then.. when guest is explaining something… in this Video.. Balaji was talking about Quantitative easing post-2008 & its global impact.. but you jumping in digressed him totally.
Do us a favor if you call someone like Balaji don’t laugh like a dumbo. Or damn gosh… just say hmm 🤔 people can’t focus because there are times it’s not laughable and your response is distracting.
He just yapped most of the time. He didnt go deep and explain you who actually running the country? Why are the running the country? What is thier motive? And how all of that actually related to greater israel? Why is the sudden bangladesh unrest? And how is that related to balkanization of north eastern states of India & and want to put a military base in that region? Just to keep china silent and uneasy? While also other big boy russia is busy with ukraine, the rest of world will be in an economic crisis worrying about thier own country. Then the expansion of israel will take place and will be the king of middle east. As they already systematically silenced and put them in civil wars and crisis in tge rest of middle east using islamic barbarism for thier own benefits. Like in syria, yemen, iraq, etc Made allies with saudi and gulf. The only remaining fighter is Iran. So they recently or not so recently killed the Prime Minister in a "Plane Crash" too. And Iran will be getting bombed in this year to completely neutralize and silence it mostly likely in next two months. Soros is a jew runs an organisation basically wants to put a puppet govt in every country. So noone can go aganist israel, he basically do this with buying media. Afterall he doesnt need to buy much as Meta(Insta, fb, whatsapp) are already controlled by Zuckerberg(an another jew) Google, youtube is controlled by Sergey brin, laary page (both jews) Microsoft by bill gates( another jew). So he just need to buy bots online to control gullible people. And buy ecosystems and groom them to work for them and even those people dont know they are working for someone.

53:24 Abhijit Chavda also said that only the USA, Russia, China, and India are truly sovereign because they don't have foreign military bases. Other countries often have foreign, mainly American or Russian, military bases on their soil. And today Balaji also reiterates the same thing, the countries which have US military bases are actually not independent sovereign countries.
There are more countries that don't have foreign military bases. He has good insights, but on some things he doesn't seem to have proper understanding like when he mixes up the UN and BRICS which are completely different organizations. BRICS is not there to replace the UN... What would he say about Iran for example? The US has a special position because the $ is a reserve currency, so it has leverage against every country, but even then there are countries which are their vassals ("allies") and those which are not, but still have to play by at least some of their rules.
And the credit for this brilliant foreign policy of being non-aligned when we became independent will never be given to those who had the foresight to know what is needed to build an identity for a new nation.
@@rob6927 brics is not a group of just 5nations, it is a group of nation who have decided to end western hegemony. It is a collective of top oil producing nations and top oil consuming nations. As far as I remember 50 or some 100 nations have also applied to join BRICS, as in BRICS++. If dollar collapses, US will not be able to pass inflation to other countries like it did after 2008. US will lose it's status, Nato will crumble, if europe want to survive, they need russian cheap GAS, or EU will also crumble. In short western hegemony is ending, we will have muti polar world order, every big nation will try to exercise power in their region.
Don't agree with a lot of his points specifically on racist attacks, when Biden came into power, it sends a message to the racists that their boss is not in power and therefore the attacks may have come down. Does not mean, the attacks have ceased but you don't have as many brutal attacks. When you have a leader that says "Stand back and stand by" to a far-right white supremacist group Proud Boys, you know things can get pretty bad if he is in power. The head of the country matters and it is clear Balaji has RW agenda.
I'm an American that watched your show. And wow it really shows just how much tension there is in the US that it's so palatable and noticeable to people abroad. Things are very tense here right now. Most Americans are very worried about the future of the country, and politics are extremely divisive.

I think Ranveer tuned out two third into this interview. He was disinterested and everything was bouncing over his head. You could tell from the hasty exit he made at the end. I thouroughly enjoyed this Interview and Balaji's is a brilliant guy with a brilliant mind. I love how he connects the various dots of politics-economics-popculture and sociology to gives us the true state of where America is. As a NRI this is both scary and enlightning at the same time. Thank you Balaji.
it's a two part podcast, probably 1-2 more hours' worth to come out in the next couple of weeks...however he, did seem disinterested, well that's because he was expecting a sensational 'Clear Trump Victory' as an answer which he didn't get, rather Balaji gave him insights on how divided the state of the Union is. But I won't blame him, sitting there listening to someone for 3+ hours, you would start to lose focus. Plus, Balaji was pulling one graph after the other. The audience has the ability to pause, understand, decipher, dissect, debate, conclude and be amazed by the infographics. For Ranveer it was like graph dikha diya bencho, aur ek graph dikha diya bencho!
Right? I felt so too. Also Ranveer using words like d@mn, sh!t in his podcast does not put him in a good light , but that's a statement for another time. I felt he did not understand most of what Balaji was talking about. I however found him very interesting.
Just want to appreciate balaji. He is giving tools to indians to understand actual divisions in Usa and play along and maybe pushing to align with republicans. Was always confused on different aspects on us politics, he cleared so many.
@@Vivaldir but bro you know what, i like his concepts of Network states and even communities like orania in south africa and india etc. i also believe the world needs a reset in this rigged financial system with protocols like bitcoin (though its already occupied by rich which makes them more richer) ,not only bitcoin but he is frontrunner in such movements for decentralisation. Thats why i support him
28:07 without tech revolution Modi wouldn’t have garnered the main stream support. Media would be writing articles like “ How Rajiv Gandhi seeded IT revolution” “How Rahul envisions socialist utopia where poor can live comfortably “ etc etc
I doubt Twitter has that level of impact in India. First world likes to think so. Modi has grassroots following. Twitter or not he wins elections he wins.
Rajiv Gandhi did NOT seed anything in IT. Ask those who were begging for lower customs and excise duties for PCs and IT products, when he was PM. He was hopeless
This is how a geopolitical podcast ought to be. Driven by Data and Visualization. I think this podcast could well be the point of inflection for TRS. The US is truly a Network State in splinters. Hope it gets better.
Fantastic video.....kudos to the speaker for speaking with facts,backed by data and showing everything real time.....just adds to the experience.....one of the best trs podcasts
An academic, insightful and cerebral commentary on the state of America in particular and the western world in general vis a vis the rest of the world. A deeply intelligent mind prophesying the future with data and statistics. Can’t wait for the 2nd conversation. Brilliant podcast.
One of the most insightful conversations I heard. Brilliant and balanced breakdown of a huge amount information and data for a lay person. Looking forward to the next one with more focus on implications for India.
This video is so informative ! I love how he has graphs and charts and data on o support each of his opinion ! I know things are crazy here in the states right now , Balaji gave a lot of additional perspective and things that are not so obvious vs what is circulated in the news ! Brilliant !!
Balaji failed to mention the recent move of people from Blue state(CA,NY) to Red state Texas … the large influx happened due to COVID, another reason was companies were forcing their employees to move to Austin… most of the people who moved were from Tech Sector during WFH era of covid for aforementioned reasons … another important reason was Bigger Houses which they could afford by selling their smaller and more expensive houses in either coast and afford a really big but cheaper house in Texas. I doubt the ideology changed because in 2020 election at one point of time it was looking Texas was turning BLUE… Disclaimer:- Not affiliated to any political ideology.
Blues go to Red states because they are economically well managed than the Blue states yet Blues will continue to vote for Democrats despite relocating to a Red state.
@@TheMondalmithun Balaji is very bright. Very accomplished. However, I don't believe he disclosed his bias. He attempted to work in the Trump Whitehouse. I don't think he smeared the left. But this was not a learning moment for anyone. It was spin by someone who stands to benefit from these views being shared
By far one of the best snapshot of state of affairs in us, being an American could not agree more. Absolutely best this guy and RS for hosting this and covering it this way…respect 👏🏼
@@beerbiceps highly baised opinions now call someone on the left to counter his arguments, he showed a lot of data which makes people believe he is telling the truth,but thing about statistics is source and how data is collected matters also u stumped him when you asked if everything is democrats then how did trump win, and he kept giving same bullshit because twitter lol. he almost sounded like a spokesperson of republicans and we don't have any stake in their politics but its so clear what his agenda was.
Incredible - Balaji is amazing as always. Great podcast after long where the guest spoke more than the host. Exactly what I have refer to see in a podcast.
He is a very smart man but I think it was evident to all he did not disclose his bias. Trump wanted him to lead the FDA back in 2017. He might just ha e a great chance of getting the job this time.
The density and sophistication of Balaji's takes are so incredible, I have to pause frequently to let my brain rest from the pummeling of profundities.
I knew this was going to resonate well here because TRS audience leans right. I would also like to hear some left of center voices in this podcast to get a fulsome perspective.
@@Zak-qh5tb Couldn't agree more. I am first--generation Indian-American and my family has a real mix of "left" and "right". While Srinivasan is a compelling and intelligent speaker, his right-leaning biases come through quite clearly--and his book, The Network State, betrays autocratic tendencies. It would be great to hear from people with views all along the spectrum to get a better feel for the nuances of the US body politic--after all, it is a country of nearly 340 million people. And one thing that I do not hear BS talk about is the growing income inequality that properly began during Reagan's presidency, and how that has shaped political thought and trends in the country.
Amazing and insightful. This podcast wasn’t taglines and headlines, it was a data and poli-sci class in one, and on steroids It was thoughtful and deep all while being enjoyable for the listener. Incredible discussion 👏👏
Caution: The ad of OnePlus 2R Watch plays almost EVERY 3-5 mins guys (and they're un-skippable, btw)!! 😤 I generally don't complain about ads in any RUclips video, but this was THAT IRRITATING!! how can it be a good experience when there are ads EVERY FEW MINS throughout the video! but, yeah, I had to go through this as watching/ listening to Balaji Sir was just so eye-opening! pls Ranveer, remember why and for whom you started the channel. I understand money is important, but it shouldn't get in the way of the user's experience right? just a thought.. anyways, thanks to TRS for this video! I can actually see Ranveer breaking down and analysing India's situation like Balaji sir did for the USA... :) it's very much required I guess.
The ads are placed by RUclips. Use VPN to watch from some developed country and your ads will dramatically go down. I saw only one ad in the entire video.
I would like to thank Balaji Srinivasan and the team at TRS for the profound insights shared in this episode, fair to say this has changed the way I look at and engage with american politics and journalism
I wish he had interrupted more. The long monologues filled with graphs and facts that are relevant only to US political junkies had me glassy eyed many times too. And the heavy pro-Repug bias was not too great either.
One of the best episodes, Balaji & Ranveer - I had chills as I was watching graph after graph and rewinded quite a few portions to hear them again. Please release the next episode soon!
Amazing episode!! A suggestion- please do ask this question next time - what can common people do to save themselves financially when this collapse happens or civil war takes place? What to do to save themselves in such a situation?
Soooper! One of the best pidcasts I've seen ever on economics, social change and politics! Very insightful. Thank you Balaji for sharing so many insights and Ranveer for bringing it to us.
Great podcast but please work on not interrupting the guest! Not only does it breaks the flow of their thought, it’s also not polite as an interviewer.
This discussion was beyond stellar. The man made a solid case for being bearish about America. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in his meetings with Indian policy makers. Grapevine is that Modi is a fan of this man as well.
Great Job by Ranveer and the team!! Hats off to the detailed information and knowledge shared by Balaji Srinivasan Sir in such a simple way with so many of the apt and precise references and infographics!
The economics presented in this podcast should be contrasted with the aspirations of the Indian state. Both populations play tug and war between grateful and ungrateful.
BeerBiceps - be honest again. U dont have to justify again & again that u dont take sides and are on fence. Its obvious dont have to state every 3 mins
What an amazing, educational podcast. Excellent explanation of the evolution of the political parties, role of technology, and connecting to finance which is so important. Brilliant presentation with graphs and data by Balaji Srinivasan…easy for anyone to understand. Can’t wait to listen to the next podcast. Once again, Ranveer thank you for bringing Balaji. 👍👍👍👍
I could listen to this man all day such an insightful episode. First, I’d like to add that Obama was often mocked and accused by Trump of being Muslim and not born in America, to the point where he was forced to show his birth certificate. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama faced derogatory comments, being called ugly, rude, and even transgender. Consequently, Obama gave back to Trump at the Correspondents' Dinner. And the rest is history After living in America for almost 8 years, I can confidently say that it is not a racist country. The division in America isn’t based on race or political parties; it’s fundamentally about the rich versus the poor. Everything-whether it's the economy, race, abortion, or gun violence-boils down to the disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished.
Does our great ancient wisdom tell us how to properly build basic infrastructure like roads, bridges, because our current new infrastructure is terrible quality
@@cool-as-cucumber Our people are living nowadays excessively dreaming about ancient civilizational glory and talking about our ancient wisdom and they're perspectives have become so distorted that they are not seeing the terrible reality of our society which is right in front of our eyes, the corrupt society, lack of civic sense, collapsing institutions, mass unemployment, economic overburdening of middle and low income, terrible quality infrastructure, pollution issues etc. Now after the budget released today people are slowly waking up to the reality. The problem will be fixed by first accepting that we have huge issues now, then discuss about how we can solve these issues, instead of being blissfully ignorant and living on past glory, and we need more people to wake up quickly or it will be too late.
52:25 please use correct map of India. I know this map is more acceptable but it is because more people use this map. if we use real map and correct everyone to use we can win this perspective warfare of left west and pak
Phenomenally insightful guest speaker. Thank you to the host who allowed him to answer at length. Regarding the assertion that 'the Left acts and the Right reacts' I would like to suggest that the Right represented the status quo, the traditional bastions of power and a vast number of previously marginalized populations ( such as woman) enjoy more freedom and AGENCY over their lives today, thanks to the left. That has to be acknowledged as a plus. However, radicals exist on both ends of the spectrum and it is heartening to see more thoughful people embrace Centrist ideas.
Deep and insightful! Agree has to be top 10 guest outside of the spiritual gurus. Highly data driven insights what a lesson in politics and critical thinking. More of these guests and insights!
Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻.

I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of RUclips videos about it but I still find it hard to understand.
Absolutely brilliant podcast. My problem is with the god awfully irritating one plus watch advertisement.. after watching watching which, I am 1000% convinced that I am not buying that thing.
Can we take a moment and appreciate balaji he’s literally pulling charts and articles after articles. and he remembers the whole title word by word and recalls it just on the fly. That’s impressive!
Huge part of your mental furniture is filled in by things could be cardboard and you don’t even know it. You have to push on it and you’ll see if it falls over. 🤯
One of the MOST AMAZING PODCAST ON US POLITICS I have seen so far…I mean Americans should use this podcast to teach their younger generations about divisiveness in American society
I've been using RUclips for more than a decade, and as far as I remember, this is my first long comment. This podcast was incredibly informative, and in today's time and age, everyone should watch it. We should all start following and investigating national and global politics in depth, not just the way our ancestors did. Ranveer has done a great job bringing in such an expert who made the content as easy as possible to understand, even for someone with just a basic knowledge of politics and finance. Great work, Ranveer! Keep up the excellent work. For everyone else, make sure to comment and like the video for maximum reach. We don't want India or any other country, for that matter, to be run by demagoguery-it's learned and informed people who make democracy strong. Tbc, I'm not the proponent of democracy and very interested in understanding if democracy is even the best way for a country to be ruled. I request if we can have some expert who explains all the existing types of regimes such as democracy and give his/her knowledge about the same. Thanks!
Alternative view- Americans move to blue states because they are economically depressed, and therefore they can afford to buy a house. California, for example, is the most blue state and very strong economically. Most people can't afford California, but that surely doesn't mean that they leave because they aren't democrats.

But I won't blame him, sitting there listening to someone for 3+ hours, you would start to lose focus. Plus, Balaji was pulling one graph after the other. The audience has the ability to pause, understand, decipher, dissect, debate, conclude and be amazed by the infographics. For Ranveer it was like graph dikha diya bencho, aur ek graph dikha diya bencho!
Nobody can be truly unbiased.
@@deepmedsing9961 hehe true but its his show. We didn't put a gun to his head.
Right? I felt so too. Also Ranveer using words like d@mn, sh!t in his podcast does not put him in a good light , but that's a statement for another time. I felt he did not understand most of what Balaji was talking about. I however found him very interesting.
Ranveer can talk about energy and all that crap but logic and data clearly would be too much to handle, as evident 🙏😆
This podcast is Gold if anyone wants to understand American politics and it’s far reaching effects on the society and politics all over the world
One of the best and most insightful podcasts I have watched in recent times as an Indian American ! Thank you for bringing this to us !!
Just want to appreciate balaji.
He is giving tools to indians to understand actual divisions in Usa and play along and maybe pushing to align with republicans.
Was always confused on different aspects on us politics, he cleared so many.
Dude he is just a bitcoin peddler and will support the side which promotes Bitcoin …. That’s it
@@Vivaldir but bro you know what, i like his concepts of Network states and even communities like orania in south africa and india etc.
i also believe the world needs a reset in this rigged financial system with protocols like bitcoin (though its already occupied by rich which makes them more richer) ,not only bitcoin but he is frontrunner in such movements for decentralisation.
Thats why i support him
After hour of video it's safe to say that "I hate OnePlus Watch 2R"
Fr bro what the heck is with this ad
💯 bro 🥲
Broo I have seen the ad 20 times and fed up downloaded it
I saw it almost 12 times, so irritating
15th times
28:07 without tech revolution Modi wouldn’t have garnered the main stream support.
Media would be writing articles like “ How Rajiv Gandhi seeded IT revolution”
“How Rahul envisions socialist utopia where poor can live comfortably “ etc etc
I doubt Twitter has that level of impact in India. First world likes to think so.
Modi has grassroots following. Twitter or not he wins elections he wins.
Maybe, but the Congress was thrown out for rampant corruption and people were genuinely fed up by them.
Rajiv Gandhi did NOT seed anything in IT. Ask those who were begging for lower customs and excise duties for PCs and IT products, when he was PM. He was hopeless
This is how a geopolitical podcast ought to be. Driven by Data and Visualization.
I think this podcast could well be the point of inflection for TRS.
The US is truly a Network State in splinters. Hope it gets better.
This dude came here with Data! Love this. I am going to download as many infographics as possible from this podcast. So much to learn.
Fantastic video.....kudos to the speaker for speaking with facts,backed by data and showing everything real time.....just adds to the experience.....one of the best trs podcasts
Glad to see Balaji popping up in interviews again. Very important voice in the world.
By far the best presentation on this subject i have viewed. Excellent guest. We are in the kali yuga. The Indian mind at work.
An academic, insightful and cerebral commentary on the state of America in particular and the western world in general vis a vis the rest of the world. A deeply intelligent mind prophesying the future with data and statistics. Can’t wait for the 2nd conversation. Brilliant podcast.
I'll advice indians to stay diplomatic on social media 👍🏼
First tell American, british and germans to.not be racist against indians and hindus,
@@VikramSingh-rs2pi LOL they are not racist at all.
@@Rugbydiariesand they shouldn't be.
@@Rugbydiariesthey are Racist,
anyone who do use Social media knows it very well, okey,
I'm a rajput ❤
I love the host for one reason, he is just letting balaji speak, thank you so much
One of the most insightful conversations I heard. Brilliant and balanced breakdown of a huge amount information and data for a lay person. Looking forward to the next one with more focus on implications for India.
One thing is clear.. I will never buy the 1 + smart watch.. (Chinese brand trying to disrupt Trump promotion campaign)
This video is so informative ! I love how he has graphs and charts and data on o support each of his opinion ! I know things are crazy here in the states right now , Balaji gave a lot of additional perspective and things that are not so obvious vs what is circulated in the news ! Brilliant !!
Balaji failed to mention the recent move of people from Blue state(CA,NY) to Red state Texas … the large influx happened due to COVID, another reason was companies were forcing their employees to move to Austin… most of the people who moved were from Tech Sector during WFH era of covid for aforementioned reasons … another important reason was Bigger Houses which they could afford by selling their smaller and more expensive houses in either coast and afford a really big but cheaper house in Texas. I doubt the ideology changed because in 2020 election at one point of time it was looking Texas was turning BLUE…
Disclaimer:- Not affiliated to any political ideology.
Yeah, you can see his bias and political affiliation. Trump is a convicted felon, he sugar coated that part.
Blues go to Red states because they are economically well managed than the Blue states yet Blues will continue to vote for Democrats despite relocating to a Red state.
And also worth to mention lot of his analysis or commentary looked skewed towards the red.
@@TheMondalmithun Balaji is very bright. Very accomplished. However, I don't believe he disclosed his bias. He attempted to work in the Trump Whitehouse. I don't think he smeared the left. But this was not a learning moment for anyone. It was spin by someone who stands to benefit from these views being shared
@@Taylors-o7s So much truth here.
By far one of the best snapshot of state of affairs in us, being an American could not agree more. Absolutely best this guy and RS for hosting this and covering it this way…respect 👏🏼
Everything known just got statistically verified! Great podcast. An important one.
Srinivasan’s perspective is very cogent. He’s an absolute treasure.
Wow!! this will be amazing episode!!
Hope you will enjoy the episode 💪
@@beerbiceps highly baised opinions now call someone on the left to counter his arguments, he showed a lot of data which makes people believe he is telling the truth,but thing about statistics is source and how data is collected matters also u stumped him when you asked if everything is democrats then how did trump win, and he kept giving same bullshit because twitter lol. he almost sounded like a spokesperson of republicans and we don't have any stake in their politics but its so clear what his agenda was.
@@beerbiceps why are you deleting constructive criticism comments, this guy was very baised.
Biased as in? I thought he was neutral. @@rjsingh6504
Always heard Data is OIL, but now i have seen it myself.
Incredible - Balaji is amazing as always. Great podcast after long where the guest spoke more than the host. Exactly what I have refer to see in a podcast.
What a podcast. If someone's listening it Audio, they're gonna miss a lot of graphs!
Kudos to Balaji S ji 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, What a person!
Another geopolitical podcast brilliant ❤🙌
Hope you will enjoy this episode 💪
He is a very smart man but I think it was evident to all he did not disclose his bias. Trump wanted him to lead the FDA back in 2017. He might just ha e a great chance of getting the job this time.
The density and sophistication of Balaji's takes are so incredible, I have to pause frequently to let my brain rest from the pummeling of profundities.
Smartness of Ranveer!!!
Balaji has blue back ground, Ranveer has a red background!!
Representing both parties..
Nice
Well spotted
Whats of the most thought provoking podcasts I have heard in a while. Possibly ever. Kudos to you both and thank you for your time.
I knew this was going to resonate well here because TRS audience leans right. I would also like to hear some left of center voices in this podcast to get a fulsome perspective.
Exactly!!! Should have a podcast where people representing both these views debate and Ranveer mediates
@@Zak-qh5tb Couldn't agree more. I am first--generation Indian-American and my family has a real mix of "left" and "right". While Srinivasan is a compelling and intelligent speaker, his right-leaning biases come through quite clearly--and his book, The Network State, betrays autocratic tendencies. It would be great to hear from people with views all along the spectrum to get a better feel for the nuances of the US body politic--after all, it is a country of nearly 340 million people. And one thing that I do not hear BS talk about is the growing income inequality that properly began during Reagan's presidency, and how that has shaped political thought and trends in the country.
This is mind blowing, eye opening, top notch podcast just loved it❤❤❤
I follow balaji on twitter, but I don't follow Ranveer,
🔹he is a wise man, I like his insights,
Amazing and insightful.
This podcast wasn’t taglines and headlines, it was a data and poli-sci class in one, and on steroids
It was thoughtful and deep all while being enjoyable for the listener. Incredible discussion
👏👏
Caution: The ad of OnePlus 2R Watch plays almost EVERY 3-5 mins guys (and they're un-skippable, btw)!! 😤
I generally don't complain about ads in any RUclips video, but this was THAT IRRITATING!! how can it be a good experience when there are ads EVERY FEW MINS throughout the video!
but, yeah, I had to go through this as watching/ listening to Balaji Sir was just so eye-opening!
pls Ranveer, remember why and for whom you started the channel. I understand money is important, but it shouldn't get in the way of the user's experience right? just a thought.. anyways, thanks to TRS for this video! I can actually see Ranveer breaking down and analysing India's situation like Balaji sir did for the USA... :) it's very much required I guess.
The ads are placed by RUclips. Use VPN to watch from some developed country and your ads will dramatically go down. I saw only one ad in the entire video.
RUclips probably wants you not to watch this.
Brilliant interview. Thank you for this conversation
Crazy insights with the graphs!!! Looking forward to the second podcast!
I would like to thank Balaji Srinivasan and the team at TRS for the profound insights shared in this episode, fair to say this has changed the way I look at and engage with american politics and journalism
Ranveer, please let the guest talk without interruptions. Sometimes that breaks the flow of ideas.
He will never learn
I think he did a great job pumping the brake and TLDRing the American context and complicated topics.
Chup be... Nahi dekhna to bhad mein jaa. Uski curiousity uska channel uska podcast wo kuch bhi kare
I wish he had interrupted more. The long monologues filled with graphs and facts that are relevant only to US political junkies had me glassy eyed many times too. And the heavy pro-Repug bias was not too great either.
One of the best episodes, Balaji & Ranveer - I had chills as I was watching graph after graph and rewinded quite a few portions to hear them again. Please release the next episode soon!
This is good podcast of beerbiceps in a long time
The state of my country is depressing. Hopefully the future looks better. Money def isn't getting you very far over here these days.
That's not good, then😅
If US is going down, consequences will be felt everywhere including India.
1 Trillion$ debt increasing for every 100 Days. It's ticking. Truly scary. Don't know what happens to the world economy if US goes bankrupt.
One of the best podcasts on ur channel . Thanks for taking the effort to make it 🙏
“Left acts, Right reacts” that’s what we are looking at in India right now.
The opposite more so. India is still primarily right wing.
@@ScreenCrazeTop10RW in a social sense maybe. But economic thinking, academia, and media are Left dominated in India
@@gtmashokcompletely disagree
@@ScreenCrazeTop10The masses in India want handouts.. which will keep increasing taxes and bureaucracy
I am from u.s.. and Balaji always comes up with simple way of showing things on the most complex topics and how they are interrelated
Amazing episode!!
A suggestion- please do ask this question next time - what can common people do to save themselves financially when this collapse happens or civil war takes place? What to do to save themselves in such a situation?
Soooper! One of the best pidcasts I've seen ever on economics, social change and politics! Very insightful. Thank you Balaji for sharing so many insights and Ranveer for bringing it to us.
Great podcast but please work on not interrupting the guest! Not only does it breaks the flow of their thought, it’s also not polite as an interviewer.
This discussion was beyond stellar. The man made a solid case for being bearish about America. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in his meetings with Indian policy makers. Grapevine is that Modi is a fan of this man as well.
1:12:35 "Sarkaar unki hai, lekin SYSTEM toh hamara hai .."
The most detailed and organic podcast ever heard. Kudos to everyone there in Beerbiceps
This was fantastic! Will share with my son in high school about to apply for college in the US
😂
Hope he doesn't get infected by the woke virus 😂
Not sure he will understand. You have to live in the US for a few years and have deep interest to really understand what he is saying.
Great Job by Ranveer and the team!! Hats off to the detailed information and knowledge shared by Balaji Srinivasan Sir in such a simple way with so many of the apt and precise references and infographics!
The economics presented in this podcast should be contrasted with the aspirations of the Indian state. Both populations play tug and war between grateful and ungrateful.
What an extraordinary podcast. Learnt so much and the backing with data and infographics was a piece of mastery.
BeerBiceps - be honest again. U dont have to justify again & again that u dont take sides and are on fence. Its obvious dont have to state every 3 mins
He has to cater to all markets, he is driven by market not conscious
He has to pretend to be centrist so that is Woke leftist liberal gang from SoBo, Bandra, Juhu, Andheri West doesn't get offended.
He is trying hard to look unbiased.
What an amazing, educational podcast. Excellent explanation of the evolution of the political parties, role of technology, and connecting to finance which is so important. Brilliant presentation with graphs and data by Balaji Srinivasan…easy for anyone to understand. Can’t wait to listen to the next podcast. Once again, Ranveer thank you for bringing Balaji. 👍👍👍👍
thank you for watching & sharing, appreciate your kind words
I could listen to this man all day such an insightful episode.
First, I’d like to add that Obama was often mocked and accused by Trump of being Muslim and not born in America, to the point where he was forced to show his birth certificate. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama faced derogatory comments, being called ugly, rude, and even transgender. Consequently, Obama gave back to Trump at the Correspondents' Dinner. And the rest is history
After living in America for almost 8 years, I can confidently say that it is not a racist country. The division in America isn’t based on race or political parties; it’s fundamentally about the rich versus the poor. Everything-whether it's the economy, race, abortion, or gun violence-boils down to the disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished.
Thank You! I love data, truth and facts. I will be recommending this video to everyone!

😂😅👍@@spidy9883
@@Zak-qh5tb that's not domain of wisdom. Tell me what you are doing to fix the problem, there are millions who can point to the problem.
@@cool-as-cucumber Our people are living nowadays excessively dreaming about ancient civilizational glory and talking about our ancient wisdom and they're perspectives have become so distorted that they are not seeing the terrible reality of our society which is right in front of our eyes, the corrupt society, lack of civic sense, collapsing institutions, mass unemployment, economic overburdening of middle and low income, terrible quality infrastructure, pollution issues etc. Now after the budget released today people are slowly waking up to the reality. The problem will be fixed by first accepting that we have huge issues now, then discuss about how we can solve these issues, instead of being blissfully ignorant and living on past glory, and we need more people to wake up quickly or it will be too late.
Came here for Balaji and was impressed by Ranveer and this channel, subscribed!
52:25 please use correct map of India. I know this map is more acceptable but it is because more people use this map. if we use real map and correct everyone to use we can win this perspective warfare of left west and pak
Phenomenally insightful guest speaker. Thank you to the host who allowed him to answer at length. Regarding the assertion that 'the Left acts and the Right reacts' I would like to suggest that the Right represented the status quo, the traditional bastions of power and a vast number of previously marginalized populations ( such as woman) enjoy more freedom and AGENCY over their lives today, thanks to the left. That has to be acknowledged as a plus. However, radicals exist on both ends of the spectrum and it is heartening to see more thoughful people embrace Centrist ideas.
I really appreciate the guest list of trs..
Another brilliant no nonsense political episode powered by data analytics
Deep and insightful! Agree has to be top 10 guest outside of the spiritual gurus. Highly data driven insights what a lesson in politics and critical thinking. More of these guests and insights!

So nice to see Susan jane Christy talked about here, her good works are speaking already and like widefire, she's spreading.
Absolutely brilliant podcast. My problem is with the god awfully irritating one plus watch advertisement.. after watching watching which, I am 1000% convinced that I am not buying that thing.
Great podcast
Can we take a moment and appreciate balaji he’s literally pulling charts and articles after articles. and he remembers the whole title word by word and recalls it just on the fly. That’s impressive!

One of the MOST AMAZING PODCAST ON US POLITICS I have seen so far…I mean Americans should use this podcast to teach their younger generations about divisiveness in American society
Anybody from 2027 ?
Yes 😂
Isn't it too early guys...😂
Me from 2401 , laughing at my ancestors.
Crazy how prescient balaji was
I've been using RUclips for more than a decade, and as far as I remember, this is my first long comment. This podcast was incredibly informative, and in today's time and age, everyone should watch it. We should all start following and investigating national and global politics in depth, not just the way our ancestors did.
Ranveer has done a great job bringing in such an expert who made the content as easy as possible to understand, even for someone with just a basic knowledge of politics and finance. Great work, Ranveer! Keep up the excellent work.
For everyone else, make sure to comment and like the video for maximum reach. We don't want India or any other country, for that matter, to be run by demagoguery-it's learned and informed people who make democracy strong. Tbc, I'm not the proponent of democracy and very interested in understanding if democracy is even the best way for a country to be ruled. I request if we can have some expert who explains all the existing types of regimes such as democracy and give his/her knowledge about the same.
Thanks!
Emperor is naked I have been saying for a while. Its time to call the bluff.
This is one of the best podcasts I've heard, Thank you for doing this
looks like this is recorded before Jo dropping out, Things are different now
Alternative view- Americans move to blue states because they are economically depressed, and therefore they can afford to buy a house. California, for example, is the most blue state and very strong economically. Most people can't afford California, but that surely doesn't mean that they leave because they aren't democrats.
Balaji is probably one of the smartest people. It’s pleasure listening to him. Need more podcasts from him 😊
