Still doing these?

Converting Canada to the USD

With everyone talking about ways to convert Canada to the 51st state I was curious about this take. What if we converted them to the US dollar and they still keep all the other independent facets of their country. Would that do more damage to the USD? Would it actually help Canada more than help the US?

YouTube uploads

Hi Marshall, I recently canceled my Spotify subscription and I am moving entirely to YouTube premium for YouTube and YouTube music I am requesting that the AMA episodes get uploaded to YouTube similar to how breaking points does with their videos. I was curious if there was a reason why or why not you do not upload them to YouTube?

Next Years Goals

The end of the year is upon us! What are some goals you each have for your shows? How do you want to grow?

South Korea Relationship

Hi Guys Trump will likely being talks with North Korea again. How will this impact our relationship with South Korea? How do you both view South Korea as a Ally, Culture, Products (Samsung / K-Pop). If you are familiar with the Game Civilization a friend once told me that Korea is going for the culture victory, and I cant unsee it now.

Japan

Saagar, How was the honeymoon in Japan? What did you do while in the country? How was their coffee? For both of you, If you could import any part of Japan into the US what would it be?

501C3

Hi Marshall, you bring up that the podcast is a non-profit 501c3, I'm curious what that means in regards to how the podcast operates. What are the kinds of things that it restricts you from doing? Does that restrict the supercast answers you're able to give?

Super Bro Show

Hi guys Could Ryan Grim go on Realignment and talk about the Cold War and War on Terror (or even just the things recently in the Middle East and Pakistan) with you both? I remember the OG bro show back when Marshall used to guest on rising.

Trump's Impact on Woke-ism

A normie friend of mine asked if I think Trump will end Woke-ism in his second term. Even though it was an unrefined take, it did make me think, what will his next presidency do to political culture? Last time Trump was elected, "woke" politics and cancel culture were off the charts. Will we see a resurgence of that? Will the resistance to his presidency manifest as cultural left wing identity politics again?

The Dems And Bernie

After Obama's presidency America wanted populist change. Trump symbolized that on the Republican side and won the nomination, and the Republican party decided to graft it's existing ideology onto him. But the Democrats decided to kill it's populist movement, led by Bernie Sanders. Do you think the centrist Democrats would rather lose to Trump, than lose control of their party to Bernie? Or do you think they were arrogant enough to believe they could have their cake and eat it too? (Kill the Bernie movement and still beat Trump).

Cross Posting

Hi guys I was curious if you would ever take advantage of multi-posting to different social media platforms. This is mostly for text-based like X, threads, blue sky. I don't really use X anymore to the point that I don't even have it installed and I can't even view your posts without an account, And I do not see current tweets, for instance on Saagar's account I only see 2022 tweets. I follow you both on Instagram, but you don't post on threads / BlueSky. I'm not asking for engagement just posting the same info multiple spots when you type one out. There should be an app out there that allows that.

People in the Republican Party and beyond

Given Trump's win, who are some emerging leaders or voices we should keep an eye on as the political landscape shifts? Also, how has Trump's win influenced rising political figures on both sides?

Expect more politicians to come on Breaking Points given salience of podcast strategy?

Given the salience of podcast strategy on GOP win, do you expect politicians from both parties to come on BP? If yes, would it be Dems or Republicans more willing to do so?

Tips on attending the Inauguration

Regardless of how one feels about the outcome of this election, this will be a historic inauguration. What inaugurations have you attended? What tips do you have on attending? If there was any inauguration in history you could have attended which one would it be?

Orange Man Bad 2.0?

What will Orange Man Bad 2.0 look like? Is it already starting with the lib mockery of an RFK appointment and wanting to reform the FDA (MAHA)? Maybe they will start boycotting whole foods and eating a diet of Doritos and big macs... Who knows...

Religion in Politics

Saagar, I heard you say that a big difference between you and other Republicans is that you are not religious, I very much feel in the same boat. I thought Trump would break that but I think his lack of discipline keeps it alive. With Trump winning to do you see more religion staying as a core to the GOP or more Barstool?

Post Election Plans

What are both of your plans post election. Are there any topics you want to explore?

Presidential Mandates

What are other instances of presidents being elected with a mandate and to what extent were they successful in fulfilling that call?

Future of the conflicts

What do you think will happen to both the Israel and Ukraine conflict depending on each candidate. Bonus How would both candidates react to a Taiwan conflict

Guardrails

Saagar has brought up that there are guardrails to help prevent Trump's most extreme views. Like taxes / tariffs with Congress, or the army not accepting orders to attack civilians I've often heard guardrails as a way to prevent Trump / the GOP from going too far but I rarely hear them applied to Democrats Does that come down to a fundamental view that Republicans are more libertarian and don't want the big government (which I don't buy), and Democrats have no problem using the government?

Religion in Politics

Saagar, I heard you say that a big difference between you and other Republicans is that you are not religious, I very much feel in the same boat. I thought Trump would break that but I think his lack of discipline keeps it alive. If Trump loses I feel that the Republican party will go back to being more religious and less barstool. Maybe it'll be Barstool instead of tea partiers versus the GOP. With Israel and religion being a major part of that conflict I'm curious would it take a more secular president to stop it?

Vibe Check- USA

How are the vibes today?

Multi Posting

Hi guys I was curious if you would ever take advantage of multi-posting to different social media platforms. This is mostly for text-based like X, threads, blue sky. I don't really use X anymore to the point that I don't even have it installed and I can't even view your posts without logging in anymore. I follow you both on Instagram, but you don't post on threads. I liked old Twitter because I followed accounts for updates. I'm not asking for engagement just posting the same info multiple spots when you type one out. There should be an app out there that allows that.

Post Election Plans

What are both of your plans post election season (Inauguration Day). Are there any topics you want to explore?

Potential Trump admin policy in the Middle East?

What is your guys actual disagreement about the war in the Middle East? Second, even though Trump would be beholden to Mariam Adelson, is there a chance he exerts leverage on Israel? It would prob be easier for him to do so since at least some Dems would back him.
