This is a win.

I would love to see the statistics on those that watched it.
Where they are from
Left center or right leaning
Pro Putin or pro Ukraine or neutral
Male or female
Average age
Etc….

Whatever it takes☝️

I'm afraid of listening to it, Lex makes me cringe, I think it's below Zelensky to even talk with him.. someone tell me he did well, please?

orion-rahl.bsky.social•46 days ago

Listening to Zelensky praise 45/47 was irksome. I understand why he does it, though; he knows how that 47 is driven entirely by ego and self-interest, and is playing him accordingly. I hope it works. Zelensky did a good job pushing back on Lex.

Biden wasn't that good. He never sent all the kit Zelenskyy needed and on time, restricted their use to within Ukraine and it was Europe that lead with modern tanks and F-16s. The Biden administration only started changing policy radically when on the way out.

It was a good interview which absolutely was a win to Zelensky. Fridman made a clown of himself a couple of times, though. But that doesn’t matter. Some Maga republicans might change their opinions thanks to this.

And by watching you support zelensky

bunkerhunter.bsky.social•46 days ago

President Zelenskyj has to talk to the audience where the audience listens in. If we like it or not.

He wanted to talk to the MAGA audience and not to us. So it‘s a win for him and Ukraine.

I agree, there's not a lot new there for us, but for those listening to one sided Putin propaganda through Trump and Joe Rogaine it will hopefully prove useful in reaching them.

collin-gabriel.bsky.social•42 days ago

LMFAO. The US is an echo chamber of interventionist, imperial, neocolonial propaganda. Your framing is absurd and stupid.

matthewnewell.bsky.social•45 days ago

Zelenskyy's career was in television and media. He can't be bought and he knows his countries history. He was articulate, funny, charming and fell into no potential traps. It's worth watching the three hours.

sanmarcos.bsky.social•42 days ago

Thanks for saying that. Fridman comes across as very weak. Anemic. He must do better in his other podcasts. This one was like he wasn't there other than him saying occasionally that Putin loved his country and wanted peace.

Putin will be bored with this one.

nikostg.bsky.social•46 days ago

He did well bro. Tho admittedly I couldn’t sit through it all.

mazzlar46.bsky.social•46 days ago

Zelenskyy deffo did well, but I had never come across LF before - and it was a 3-hour cringefest having to listen to the guy. It was a bit like being hit on the head several times - only to have a massive wave of comfort in between the hits (when Zelenskyy talks)!!!

barkingaudio.bsky.social•46 days ago

😵‍💫

libraryofcontext.bsky.social•46 days ago

He did very well. If you can tune out Fridman, some of it is worth watching.

dirkboston.bsky.social•45 days ago

Zelensky didn't bat an eye. 👊

usexpat70.bsky.social•45 days ago

Great distillation of the meeting. Lex is a Russian troll and sympathizer

mrx-28621.bsky.social•45 days ago

It certainly is a win, but this is not good. This is bad news for all western democracies. My only hope is whatever happens here, Ukraine can keep fighting until Russia disintegrates.

idletenta.bsky.social•45 days ago

I imagine the comments are horrifying

aklynne.bsky.social•45 days ago

I hear that Lex Fridman hopes to become a Real Boy someday. Judging from his interviewing skills, it may be a while before that happens.

magneg.bsky.social•45 days ago

"I have a dream that someday...."

fryd01.bsky.social•46 days ago

Total time spent worldwide watching the interview is now over 1275 years...

mette.bsky.expert•45 days ago

3,7M views now.

cynic-downunder.bsky.social•45 days ago

Thanks for your time and effort Jake for uploading the highlights of the interview.

momoftwo.bsky.social•45 days ago

Good. Truth still matters.

crankshaft99k.bsky.social•46 days ago

the only reason we (EU) look at Lex's "freedom" casts is for the president! Lex is irrelevant! It's about Zelensky, and Ukraine. Lex already got too much attention.

thefelics.bsky.social•45 days ago

This is what I think of Lex Fridman, or what it is like talking to him.

magneg.bsky.social•45 days ago

Fr Fr- He never did follow up questions.

bunkerhunter.bsky.social•46 days ago

Add to the 3.5M Views the 1M Views on the YT Channel from Zelenskyj

blindlemonn.bsky.social•46 days ago

Zelenskyy shows what a true leader is for his people
not one that is it for self gain and ego
a shining light in a world of corrupt leaders

lordblastington.bsky.social•44 days ago

probably not for the reason Fridman wanted

cmdr-zin.bsky.social•46 days ago

Zelenskyy's speeches are always good, I just wish more took his words more seriously.

He's a powerhouse standing taller than almost anyone on the world stage.

tuhyceratops.bsky.social•45 days ago

You can watch it on UATV yt channel. 2M or so views there as well. And it doesnt support Fridman's bussiness.

dorisfedir.bsky.social•45 days ago

Then it's time for all to know what he said 😁

mazzlar46.bsky.social•46 days ago

Zelenskyy never ceases to amaze me. I so hope that he can lead his people to a just peace and then have some time to decompress and heal, as the 'former president's...along with his brave and admirable country men and women 🙏

qt2aquatics.bsky.social•45 days ago

I only listened to the 10 minute version but was more than enough to confirm that Zelenski did a great job while the host and his dreams was poorly thought out.

zokwezo.bsky.social•43 days ago

That's a great way to put it. It was an excellent podcast from Zelenskyy despite the "I have a dream"er sitting across from him asking fatuous questions.

cumastakun.bsky.social•45 days ago

The only episode, where the interviewer told Lex his bullshit to his face. I love, that he had to release the full, unedited video and this was a condition for this video.
