Full podcast episode: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/f6aJYZ6ciY13x3U.html Lex Fridman podcast channel: ukposts.info Guest bio: Jeremi Suri is a historian at UT Austin.

People fail to see how important history is in my generation and it’s not good

"my grandparents were Jews" "I once had a bad salad" WTF was that???????

Come on, Lex. Get Uncle Vlad on the set. I would pay for that.

In the 1920s, the KKK in Gainesville, Florida, stormed the local Catholic Church, beating and castrating the priest, simply because they feared that more people would convert to Catholicism. Who were the KKK members who committed this evil crime? The town mayor and the town police chief.

Suri was low key annoyed at Lex’s sloppy 7/11 analogy lol

Growing up in the midwest, I dealt with the modern KKK neonazis that send you pictures of your kids. Its a mistake to think of it as one specific group. More like several small groups some hyper-violent, some kinda normal dudes

I would argue Suri is out of touch with “The People “ and is an ideologue more then a historian

I understand lex. The best part of the day is going into 711 with the pods in.

This shows me even more you need Umar on. Lex you need more education on black Americans

Possibly the best evil laugh I've heard in a long time.

Comparing racial trauma to a 7-11 salad is a new low for brother Lex 😂

Echos of history are so influential to human behavior. Humans are primarily tribal. Our survival is dependent on having access and support of the affecting social domain. Our views and perspectives are influenced by the history of the social domain. In order for progressive change to manifest it is necessary to understand the echos of history and that the change in attitudes can only be achieved when we can build bridges of reconciliation and forge relationships of trust - actions that enable the echos of history to evolve.

How is Lex so slow?

-Late night 7/11 salad equals to 4 days of suffering

WV senator Byrd was ex kkk and supposedly LBJ had ties to KKK as well

You’re a brave man…….a salad from 7-Eleven!?🤣

Someone like VladTV would be great to interview Putin because he does he's research the way Lex is speaking of.

Jeremi just went David Goggins on his students!

Mini chicken sandwiches. And A Single pickle or pickle chips! And an instant oatmeal in a coffee cup. And Yaphabk / Riverhead made a Business Plan" to Recycle the Lil Milk Boxes. They didn't recycle Lil Milk boxes. And 711 coffee bar Creamerz is salad bar .

Calling jan 6 an insurection is so mind numbingly stupid.

You should watch the Oliver Stone’s interviews of Putin.

Lex's salad analogy :))))))))) lol

I respect that Lex acknowledged he would not be qualified to interview Putin. Massive respect.

Lex doesn’t ask tough questions. And is not the person to interview dark people.

I had no idea there were so many Jews and Catholics in the South in the 1800s

The guy that’s balding was slick flirting with that other guy!

My grandfather as a boy was terrified of the Ku Klux Klan they would ride through the town and the horses always terrified him. One day he was with his grandma working in the basement and looked at a chest and tried opening it. She hit his hand away and said to never look in that chest,. regardless he waited a bit until the evening and opened the chest and found his Grandad's Santa outfit and his Red Grand wizard Ku Klux Klan outfit. He says that they were int he best of relations with the only black family in the town and they were well accepted. The only instance of violence he mentioned was that a drunk once beat his wife to a pulp and she was crying and when the Klan found out they got going came to is house, beat him and said if he did it again they'd hang him from a tree. The beatings stopped. I'm not trying to justify the Klan but for a lot of people it was probably just a boys club where they could pretend to be western heroes.

As a fan of Lex I'm disappointed he eats anything at Seven 11 lol

Never food from 711.

Sounds a lot like CRT

who is Suri to warn Lex how to do an interview ? Suri is the old guard ADL uber paranoid outdated fearful approach .

Lex…bud, stay away from 7-11! It’s by far THE WORST convenience type store in existence! Not only do you run the common risk of food poisoning if you’re brave/stupid enough, & summon up the courage to try some of their food, but they are overpriced on everything they sell, and also have the worst selection of any store. There are so many things they don’t carry, and instead some of them make their own shitty pizza and rubbery chicken…like wtf!? My go-to’s around here are the Wawa and Royal Farms. There are also scattered Pantry’s around here in some places and lastly Sheetz but that is rare. ALL of these are far superior to 7-11 in every way! Get with the game, Lex! Get to a Wawa! 😂

7-11 salad! Do you like gas station Sushi? Holy shit!

I'll give everyone 1 guess on witch side he leans towards....

“Someone like David Duke , who everybody knows “ ????? - Donald Trump said he did not know who David Duke was .

This guy sounds exactly like David Brooks.. it’s spooky.. they could brothers.

Guest: my family was in a pogrom. Lex: one time I ate a salad.

This "historian " can't even be taken serious. On the subject of softball question using fox as an example showing bias. If he would have said big corporate media or fox and cnn then I would agree with him. What a joke lol

My grandparents were Holocaust survivors who immigrated to the US and after WWII and landed in Pulaski, TN where the Klan started. They, as well as other Jews and Jewish relatives, opened and operated successful businesses in Pulaski and were well received, respected, and successful. My grandfather told me that the Klan was primarily a social and political group advancing self interests and not a group that went about terrorizing individuals in that area, akin to a country club type crowd. Certainly there are groups called Klan who terrorized people other places but it was largely regional.

would have loved to hear him speak on the Cornerstone Speech by Confeduh-rit Vice President Alex Stevens in 1861 at the birth of the Confeduh-ricy. The one that destroys the absurd claim that the Confeduh-rit flag of defeat wasnt about wyt supremicy

I just "Kindled" Jeremy's book. Thank you.

The fact Lex referred to putin as a democratically elected leader tragically comical.

Lotta kids who kept their grandpa's hood in the comments.

A softball interview that allows them to sound reasonable? If their position is not reasonable, then no amount of preparation will allow them to make it so. I wouldn't have a problem with giving them the questions in advance. An ambush interview is not a good look for your own side. That is the sort of tactic that is used by someone who is not able to defend their own position, and the position opposing the KKK is ought to be easy enough to put together.

I hope Alex gets to interview Putin before he dies

So why weren’t you listening and understanding like this when talking to Kanye? Why didn’t you acknowledge these things then?

Wish we could have stayed on the police foundational problems. Too many folks licking boots of straight up Badge Bunnies. It disgusts me to see the blind faith normal people have towards police as our rights are trampled

Lex working hard to downplay systemic racism, suggesting it is history except for "echoes", like his 7-eleven salad.

Very smart man. it's unfortunate ,That he Has the arrogance And confidence of a young man. Sometimes you can be too smart be your own good and not realize that you are a 100% wrong and most of what you believe.

Lex's topics are always Jesus and Abe Lincoln or Hitler and the KKK lol

Suri was at Madison when the Wisconsin insurrection happened. He didn't have a problem with that one.

30 seconds in and we know all we need to

1,456 times "K" appeared in a script, and Eddie Murphy's character goes ballistic....

"insurrections" dude lost all credibility

MUH JAY SICKSS

Lex, please Interview Jared Taylor, an advocate for the white race

"These are".... Democrats? Yes Democrats. Y'all forgot the brand "Democrats" kid. ☝️🍋

Now it's named Kuild Kad Ketter ( 6uild 6ack 6etter )

Lex has twisted elf child ears, I just noticed. 😮

I can’t trust a guy who hangs on to the last 4 strands of hair

Lex gave the stupidest metaphor for racism in the police force.

711 back in the day university 3 dogs for a dollar

Lol.. wonder if this dude is going to keep the same attitude after todays events.

Democrats.

Lex needs to have on Jared Taylor next. He has some pretty unique views but a fascinating and wise man nonetheless

I bet these “history buffs” getting mad that this dude dissing fox and friends 😂

🤕

OKKK!!!

Haha😂😂 .Putin is elected in democratic elections…??!!This was hard to swallow!

How do you talk about the history of of Kkk without mentioning the Democratic Party ?

Lex should interview Daniel carver… wake up white people!!!😂

The last "official" linching of a black man did not happen 100 yrs ago. It happenee in the early 80s in Alabama!

This guy clearly has a political bias

The fact he immediately goes to Fox News not say CNN or MSNBC, or every other media outlet is telling. Not saying he’s wrong but when leftists point to Fox as the watch CNN or MSNBC I can’t take them as a moral person.

I'm sure someone who is jewish is not going to have a biased opinion on the KKK, right?

Not a single person has been charged with "insurrection". Calling Jan 6th an "insurrection" is idiotic, politically biased and embarrassing.

Lex, Jared Taylor. He is a well known white supremacist editor of American Renaissance, who grew up in Japan, his parents are Christian missionaries. Jared is fluent in Japanese. You might want to examine his journey from growing up in Japan, going to Yale at 16 and the rest.

I love how lex tries his hardest to repress get right wing ideology lol bro there a lot off racism in policing today let’s be real

It’s Pudding Te Children

Do you think that Putin will Putin a Putin in the Putin? Or maybe he'll Putin the Putin but not in the Putin's Putin...?

A David duke podcast would b awesome

Ahaha

The January 6 riot was not an insurrection….this historian wants to reinforce his priors.

Lexs interview w Netanyahu was pure pablum. I’m still reeling from it. He spoon fed Bibi and Bibi took control of the interview and manipulated the audience

This guy seems to be more of a revisionist than a historian. After watching a few of these clips, it's obvious he's quite biased with his "history." He pretty much admits that in this clip.

Lex let the man speak! You’re digressing! & that 7 eleven story wasn’t it lol

Started by DEMOCRATS...

This guy doesn’t know _anything_

This historian comes super close to addressing the political ideology of the Klan and its pervasive motivating force for why they did what they did and they targeted those they did.... .... .... but unfortunately he doesn't mention it. I have the sense that his bias and seemingly low opinion of conservative or traditional individuals prevented him from presenting this with fidelity. The nail in the coffin is the thousands of insurrectionist silliness that is posited in his own voice as if this is his own formulated expert opinion. About 25 minutes of research will hopefully insert a bit of wiggle room of doubt into the certainty of his position on this matter. I'm half black and half white, gree ul om a farm in the midwest, I was one of four non white people at any given time throughout middle and high school, eventually while stationed in Mississippi i had the opportunity to hear their side of the story. I took a chance and was totally honest with them (being half black and one of the first military men to be gay married) and they respected the fact that I approached them to listen. Not to debate or argue. They did treat me differently but they didn't treat me with disrespect whatsoever. (words arent violence). They shared some pretty tasty whiskey and they shared their opinions and their story and perspectives. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I disagree with so much with them, but at least in this anecdote, I had no problem connecting to the human and as an American. All of this to say is that I'm disappointed he mentioned nothing about the Democratic Party while describing the history of the Klan. To me, he's either too tribal/partisan for my consideration of any credibility or he truly missed a foundational aspect of this group's identity. The history of the klan cannot be separated from the fierce loyalty to the democratic party. Black Republicans being in many seats of power and leadership in the south during those times was a big factor of Klan focusing on blacks voting and the more right leaning Catholics etc.....

Your best bet would be to not listen to anything this guy says

Calling January 6 an insurrection is laughable: 1,000 + people who didn't unalive anyone that day.

This is not a historian this is a liberal

Pretty funny how he talks about the KKK and Doesn’t mention it was started by Democrats😂

This guy lost all credibility on this one. The KKK was formed initially to protect citizens from the horrific atrocities that were going on by Union soldiers occupying the south. It was not racially based and was not made of people dedicated to keep the war going. It eventually evolved into what it is today but that took about 40 years

Down with the traitors, up with the stars.

Protesters

democrats.

"Those _insurrectionists_ ..." - just like that, all credibility as a historian gone.
