Hi Michael,
I’m not sure what the point of including the “Tucker Carlson vs Kurt Eichenwald” video was, but I lost all respect for Tucker after that (after gaining it from the text interview of him above).
He wouldn’t let the guest finish his answers, and was obviously bent on trying to anger him for some sort of fireworks/ratings. I don’t know anything about Kurt Eichenwald, but he didn’t take the bait, insisted on polite discourse, and called Tucker out on his b.s.
One thing the world of podcast interviews has taught me is that it’s actually possible to create media where you let people finish.
