I don't disagree with you. I think you're correct and watching this was difficult as I hate Peterson.

To play Devil's Advocate, I don't think ignoring these guys have had the effect we've wanted nor having them fade into obscurity. Most of us that hate them haven't tuned in and they have just a huge sway now in public discourse.

Although stepping back from what I just said. You have a good point in that it's currently less relevant because Peterson and the Daily Wire have sunk numbers now and I think that's just great.

I like the spirit of jubilee in bringing people together that disagree and chatting it out? Even though I don't think the format in changing minds that much.

There was 1 atheist vs 20 Christians, I can't remember the lads name but I thought he did great. What's funny is how many Christians disagree on their interpretations with one another.

They have done formats such as: leftist, liberal, conservative and MAGA supporter as well.

I don't think these types of debates (especially this format) change minds? However, I'm slowly dipping in and out to listen to those who disagree with him. Sadly people like Peterson are charlatans so there's no point as he's paid not to agree and there's nothing to learn.

I've listened to JPs early stuff and thought he had some good points back then. Then he went down a strange path and I didn't follow his stuff.

I've heard him talk about Christian values and defends them a lot and how they're superior and stuff especially with the 1 man 1 woman stuff. The problem is that he's not being up front about it. He argues about the word: "belief" here rather than answer if he believes in God. Like, that's just the worst.

JP is a snake and if you can't stand him, don't watch this because it'll do you no good. Even when he gets dunked on it's likely not satisfying enough to overcome his repellent nature.

"I know President Trump said that 'America First, we're gonna help our American folks first,' but we haven't seen the federal folks down here,"

I think they're finally understanding the "message". It's the same with "All Lives Matter" or "Blue Lives Matter" ... these are just counter-protest arguments that sound reasonable to people that aren't paying attention. America First is about the rich folks paying less taxes and cutting services for you.

Although, I doubt they really get it. Their next elections will be like, "I just can't vote Democrat/Third-Party."

"Ask us how we know."

I think people are our own worse enemies at times. There are some countries that are less individualistic than the ones I've lived in, but there's a "crabs in the bucket" mentality.

I was lectured by a coworker about how the poor have it better than us and how we provide for them but they have it better than us. Note that despite having this knowledge, my coworker still decides to earn a paycheck. People hate it when others get stuff for free. There is definitely a form of entitlement that some people can get. I know people that work in government (Canada) and they say those that get free benefits just act so mean about it and if things go wrong or are delayed.

Reminds me of the Wadsworth Constant: https://www.dictionary.com/e/pop-culture/the-wadsworth-constant/ from back in the day.

Take your time, when it's your time on the pulpit you'll just need to concentrate and let the bad thoughts recede.

Yes that's right!! Loved his attitude. Looked like he was having so much fun with it.

Yeah I can't remember the dude but he was doing comparisons between the F150 and the Cybertruck and the F150 won by only a point or two.

However the F150 won by like, towing and stuff. Cybertruck got points for like a door surviving a bomb blast. Points for the things that don't really matter.
