Love and respect to Ukraine from Nigeria 👍 I pray you guys win. I have met only a few Ukrainians but they were some of the best people I hung out with. Plus, Russia is not known for a good reputation here due to how they helped topple democracies in the Sahel and are now spreading insecurity.

Came here after the debacle that was the TimCast IRL "interview" So nice to actually watch an expert interviewer who lets his guests talk even though they are controversial, builds rapport with them, and tries to reach common ground. I disagree with Kanye's generalized view on all Jews but I agree with his criticisms of leftism and wokeness some of them push and how it has been used to undermine the black community.

Respect to this great man, Pres. Javier, from Nigeria. We need more politicians who are willing to implement hard but necessary socioeconomic reforms.

@mr.mclibtard5015 good point. Honestly, after some thought I can say both parties were at fault but Kanye was the biggest one. He just acted so damn unprofessional and childish it wasn't even funny. It was just sad. During an interaction one should always try to make themselves appear amicable, even when they are disagreeing and Kanye clearly cannot do that. Tim should try a more Joe Rogan or Friedman style by letting his guests speak first to ease them in and establish common ground, then critique them afterwards.

@mr.mclibtard5015 very good observations and I never actually thought about this. It explains a lot.

@DeGeneral_01 yes, socioeconomic hardship has increased here but do you know why this happened? Because our previous governments kept increasing our debt for useless subsidies that were draining our GDP and also led to embezzlement and corruption. it was unsustainable and our current government ended them this year. The hardships are temporary and with the economic reforms we are doing, things are gradually improving.

@DeGeneral_01 I know things are hard but let's not stop being objective. It was expected. We couldn't continue with the subidies since our debt was getting so bad. We would have gone bankrupt as a nation. I wish the reforms came earlier when our economy was stronger but the previous governments refused to it. Also, there are positives like our debt going down from 90% to around 60%. Access to loans and credit has improved. Refineries are actually operating again. Insecurity has been declining. Things are still hard but getting better.

Genuinely surprised he was so objective in his discussion regarding Trump. Usually what you would expect from folks from the CIA or any branch of government👍👍
