Saagar Enjeti: 10 Things I Debate About You
Trump or Biden? Most people want you to think a certain way and only give you half the facts. But our guest today is different.
Saagar Enjeti is a Washington Correspondent and Host of ‘Rising’ at The Hill TV together with Krystal Ball. He is also a Media Fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington DC where he co-hosts The Realignment podcast. Saagar previously served as White House Correspondent for The Daily Caller and Foreign Affairs Correspondent for The DC News Foundation. He’s visited over 40 countries, interviewed Donald Trump 4 times, and hosts unbiased political debates every week.
It feels so refreshing to meet someone who knows all the facts but isn’t trying to make you think one way or the other.
We talk about the upcoming election, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the future for American politics.
Saagar’s spent his life dedicated to politics and he leaves me with a whole lot to think about...
