The show features in-depth conversations with politicians and public figures, as well as occasional interviews with celebrities. Rather than sticking to standard talking points, Minhaj aims to ask deeper, more probing questions that reveal personal perspectives and challenge conventional narratives. The tone is direct and curious, and focused on uncovering what guests really think beyond rehearsed answers.<\/p>\n<p>KEYWORDS:<br \/>\nHasan Minhaj Doesn\u2019t Know, Hasan Minhaj, Hasan Minhaj podcast, politics, political, political interviews, politics interview, interviews, political comedy, comedy, political, news, podcast, comedy podcast, politics podcast, Patriot Act, Patriot Act Netflix, issues, current affairs podcast, current events podcast, current events, talk show, trending political news, funny, satire, political satire, celebrity interviews, political videos, Democratic Party, Republican Party, us politics, American politics, long form interview, long form political interview<\/p>\n<p>0:00- Monologue<br \/>\n1:27- JL Collins is everyone\u2019s Dad<br \/>\n3:30- Why are people so bad with money?<br \/>\n4:23- Why isn\u2019t JL Collins a grifter?<br \/>\n9:35- Living within your means<br \/>\n16:42- F*ck You Money vs. Financial Independence<br \/>\n22:59- Is leasing a car bad?<br \/>\n27:02- What is VTSAX?<br \/>\n34:26- Going all in on NVDA<br \/>\n38:11- Investing in the tech sector<br \/>\n41:05- Bitcoin is a speculation<br \/>\n46:14- Is the S&amp;P 500 a bubble?<br \/>\n53:49- Why your house is a terrible investment<br \/>\n56:50- The Monk and the Minister<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hasan sits down with personal finance guru JL Collins to talk about his book \u201cThe Simple Path To Wealth,\u201d why [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
