You all are just going to ignore the most hardcore NPC performance of 2019 to argue about whether or not a pre-Civil War president was a Yankee?

Yesterday's abortion hits and Tucker last night give us a good object lesson on the NPC-life.

Tip: Don't act like an NPC.

Holy crap ... that was extreme NPCism. She’s like ... a level boss.
It’s like trying to communicate with one of those phone recordings that only says certain things over and over. Mindless.

It's a simple yes/no question that apparently she is unable to answer.

Are you ok with that? (Yes/No)

"Tucker, republicans are trying to destroy... (Blah, blah,blah)"

Are you ok with that? (Yes/No)

And she keeps adding the snarky smirk and head tilt at the end of each of her rounds with him. Talk about a disrespectful smirk and punch-able face. Disclaimer: I would not hit a woman, but if some other woman wants to, that look was punch-able.

Does Tucker generally give the people who come on his show a fair chance to articulate their views?

I think he's pretty fair. Obviously he has an agenda but usually he will give the guest a chance to voice their opinion

Well, the sad thing is that they never even got into the nuts and bolts of what was going on. So we listen to 5 minutes of back and forth, and come away no better informed about the issues than we were coming in. (Unless you want to count "being reaffirmed that the 'other side' are a bunch of snarky a-holes" as being better informed.)

It says something about a person when they only invite people onto their platform that they can easily beat. Show me a clip of Tucker Carlson bringing on someone worth a damn.

Gotta give it to Ben Shapiro, at least he invites heavy weights like Sam Harris:



Hitchens would go out and debate most people, same with Dawkins, and Maher brings most conservatives that will show up (and he often gets beaten) but at least he thanks them for showing up to what he knows is a heavily liberal platform.

Engage with the best version of your opponents instead of the worst version.

Respect to Joe Rogan as well.

Fan of Peterson as well, here's one of him vs Sam Harris (moderated by Brett Weinstein):
