Is he? I have my own beefs with him, but it seems that he was calling for a ceasefire and trying to be a military aid obstructionist as far back as last February. He also rightfully pointed out last summer that the Dems were losing a lot of cred over their handling of Gaza, especially with young people. Willing to have my mind changed, just don't know where your stance is coming from.

Khanna is a genocidal monster.

I think I came out of the Ro Khanna interview thinking we shouldn't lose the separation between podcasts, entertainment and journalism. SMN is a show that combines journalism (the reporting side of it) with entertainment. "Here's a bunch of information, let's tell it in an entertaining way". EMN is a fun podcast about current events. "Here's what happened, let's talk about it, make some jokes, invite a comedian to join us". However, none of this prepares you for a guest who is a politician or holds power in any way. This, I think, is the same problem Joe Rogan has. Joe Rogan has a huge platform, but he's not a journalist. Even if he wanted to, he can't ask hard-hitting questions, fact-check or push back. I mean, he could, but that's not what his "Experience" is about. Ends up platforming a ton of weird people tho... So ultimately, I think it seems like a good idea to have a politician on, but it also requires a whole skill-set that you may not have or you just don't wanna be mean and ask annoying questions. But then that leads to platforming someone with questionable (at best) views.
