America needs more of this. We are TIRED of the drama
WE TIRED OF REPUBLICANS
@@tugzzcouncil485 I get it, but we all live here together
@@josephhertzberg2734 YEAH BUT THEY WANNA MAKE SURE THIS IS ONLY FOR THEM.
@@josephhertzberg2734 i mean if you a republican even after these couple of years you are legit sub human
@@tugzzcouncil485 I am friends with a lot of Republicans who voted for Clinton and then Biden, because they couldn't stomach Trumps vulgarity and coarseness.
They are conservatives and very decent people, most of them.
I disagree with them on almost everything, but I refuse to abandon them as friends for having different ideas and values.....
Like Bob said: One Love
I celebrate these interactions. Civil exchanges are so refreshing.
What's is there to share. The Young Turks and Ben Shapiro have nothing in common. As ridiculous as Black people debating the KKK. What's the point? Like a scientist trying to debate a fundamentalist Christian.
Best TYT video I have ever seen! Ana’s mindset about having open and respectful conversations with people who have differing beliefs was really comforting to hear.
To be honest it's the attitude of a mature adult most over 25yo should have mastered this stage of conversation.
Great opening statement from her. As a conservative, civil, person, this is incredibly important our our beautiful country will end in division, war, and hatred. You may not agree with your neighbor, but love your neighbor as yourself.
The sad thing is, she's not like this on her on own show. She can get downright attacking or snarky with those whom she disagrees. It's the tact of the left to call for civility and then when their stance can't be bolstered by facts or debate to turn uncivil.
@@passingby3394 Good lord stop. Do you know how many wars this country has ended, stopped or prevented by her actions? Likely not. But do continue to hate and be jealous.
@@tysoncheek3907 : it's amazing that someone like you can be behind a political party who's most prominent figure is infamous for lack of civility, and constantly ignoring facts, then criticize an opposing political figure for such.
@@PoochieCollins Talk about amazing, everything you just mentioned and then some are descriptors of the fraud in office today. Let's not forget dementia addled, an actual video evidenced racist, and under the thumbs of both Ukraine and China. I think you should take a look at those other fingers pointing at yourself.
As to the original comment, my point still stands. If you'd care to refute it, fine, if not, deflecting by showing that Trump lives in your brain too doesn't help the conversation.
What Anna and Ben is doing here is the only way to really get back to basics and lower the insanity in US politics
Preach it!
True
I most definitely agree 👍🏿❤️
Definitely a boomer
@@tonyrios9668 Me? Not at all.🤣
I love this; it’s important to have discussions like this. It’s ok to disagree, but it’s not ok to be disrespectful. Challenge yourself!
This is how political debate should be. Respectful, intelligent conversation. Politicians should take notes
Nice to see a liberal brave enough to go on a conservative show for once. Keep it up, this country needs debate, not echo chambers.
liberal? lmao
That was such a pleasant exchange and my jaw kind of dropped to the floor. Thank you, Anna and Ben, for modeling the respect and humility that is vital if we are ever to have a hope of restoring our democracy. May this grow and spread.
I’m a conservative…..however I enjoy watching two people with different political views and perspectives debate in a way that’s respectful
100% agree, I was going to say something similar, you saved me from posting a thought the same as my own! A really good exchange respectfully!
Ana's perspectives has become more open lately. Good for her.
Ana has matured...I don't agree with most of her ideas, but she has matured regarding respect of the other side! I respect her for that!
Now, here is how we should be communicating with each other. Great job, Anna.
For once, it was nice to see her not unhinged. As a "right winger" it was nice to see this conversation.
Because I've never seen her so calm and articulate. When she's around her co host, she goes off the rails alot.
That's opinion not fact Manipulators speak politely to ppl, they don't yell at you and try to get you to do something at gunpoint.
The shame she couldn't find a better person to converse with, maybe someone who had even a single shred of integrity
@@OakamiSnowpaw u a idiot
Anna said it all concisely at the start.
Ben is such a well educated and wise man; why do people hate when he answers their question backed up by research and evidence based answers? He will tell you what is truthful, researched and validated. What more is there to say?
But we have to argue according to our feelings
🤣
I think Ana, as she grows more wise, is becoming more and more moderate. That’s 100% ok. I’d rather have Democratic leadership that is moderate and is willing to work with the moderate right to get things done in government than what we have now in people like AOC. I feel like her and Ben would agree on a lot more things than they want to admit.
Love This Comment
This is often the case with hyper liberal 20 something’s who are committed to sound reason and rationality. They realize that the progressive ideology is not the utopia promised and is simply a well that can’t hold any water. Their commitment to reason naturally moves them to a more moderate and responsible position.
ana is completely right. People are in incredibly strong echo chambers and have begun to unreasonably despise each other on both sides
I love that TYT is acknowledging their part in this and are taking the steps to heal society
@@GuerrillaGorilla023 Yeah, isn't it emotionally intelligent of them?
Very mature; not petty.
@@JoBrill07 That's the first mature thing they did.
Considering all of the monstrous, cruel policies that republicans support, including the genocide of LGBTQ people, it's completely reasonable and logical to despise them.
@@trickstergod9179 Where's the genocide?
Ana - you're so brave, and we all appreciate how you handled this. This was so civil and congenial.
Civil and congenial is not how you treat the Ben Shspiro bigot. You treat Benny eith arrogance and disrespect. How he treats "the Left"!!!!
It was disingenuous. There's no way she believes he shouldn't be compared to Tucker.
Both say Arabs love living in sewage.
Both lie about trans and gnc people, at a time where this pushes genocidal policies and people are being mass gunned down at drag shows and they both just keep going
Both have been named in mass murderers manifestos
Both stoke as much anger as possible by lying about things like Mr Potato Head changing his name. To stoke deep seated fears of the culture being erased.
Ben is a genuine monster and she called him a good person to his face and his audience.
This conversation was a disgrace and I think she had a few IQ points bonked out of her head over the past few years. Did she get covid... maybe from the cruise she went on during the pandemic...
@@OscarLangleySoryu I agree with you. Ben is a Tucker Wannabee. He kissed up to Sean Hannity in the past so much. Ana was probably trying to disarm him, but I don't know what else her strategy entails. Perhaps she's trying to find common threads with the Republicans? She's maybe trying to make them less hateful.
Ben is a hateful, racist, anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian, anti-African-American douche bag.
@@LeftistUprising "trying to make them less harmful" You mean trying to make them LOOK less harmful? She can't MAKE HIM ANYTHING
This is so rare. Respectful conversation. Good on you.
Our enemies are the Extreme Left and the Extreme Right, most of us in between are decent people who (usually🙂) get along without a problem.
Two people who disagree with each other, being civil and respectful toward each other....Why can't congress do this???
Why can't we all?
They do every day
shapiro only acts civil and respectful like this when he's going against someone he can't bully around, like 18-year-old college kids who haven't been on camera before.
Came here from Ben's channel to say good job and thank you (not that you need it from me lol) for participating and setting new precedents of real discussions in politics. Wish our representatives did this more.
I’m generally more left wing of a guy, but was just going to say that I really appreciate Ben coming on and having these good faith convos. Definitely respect him and it’s so refreshing to see people so not afraid of the other side or constantly bashing them. I’ve listened to Ben a bit, but I’m definitely going to watch more of his content and try to keep more discourse like this going.
@@colehowe To be clear, it was Ana that came on Ben's show, and clearly Ben agreed that she could post some, if not all, of the interview on TYT. The full interview is more than an hour long and well worth the time. I encourage you to watch it if you were impressed with this segment.
Yay!! two smart people doing the work that's necessary 🙏😊
Ana is too smart to stay a leftist.
That was a silly comment.
Honestly Robert, you are no better than the far leftist that think we are crazy and racist; because you think the other side is 100% made up of idiots.
Good job Ana. I encourage conversation with everyone. You have to listen to understand. Not justify: understand.
I think Ana should run for Congress. I know it would be hard sitting that close to Boebert and Green and not punching them but,I think Ana would be a great politician
This is so refreshing to see two people with Different ideas have a conversation respectfully
"Thinking for yourself" - This is a serious weakness in today's world.
I’m not a young Turks Fan , but I’m a fan of civil discourse . Good for you Anna for debating Ben , respect .
people have forgotten how important it is to actually discuss differing opinions and actively engaging with those you disagree with in a respectful manner
Nailed it..
Yes
You guys should just turn off the comment sections, clearly people arent mature enough to handle this interaction and are doing the exact issue that this discussion is addressing.
if you cant stand the heat, you know what do. mind your business not others.
My respect for this woman continues to increase even though I disagree with many of her positions. But to be willing to show people what it looks like to actually talk with and discuss issues with people who we disagree with over issues that are important.
As someone who doesn't identify as either democrat/leftist or republican/right winger I appreciate Anna for engaging someone like Ben and my hat off to Ben. I only wish others who are too extreme on both sides learned the positive things about dialogues like this one
You sound like someone who straddles the fence. Left leg on one side of the fence, right leg on the other, the same way one rides a horse. What will you be when the fence comes down?
Most Lefts are not extreme. Conservatives and religious bigots cannot be debated when they defend values based on fiction. All is pointless. All the understand is force.
@@leonharrison800 one day I was trying to talk to vets as to why they were so obedient to trump when I felt that he didn't look at the army with respect. Having evaded it. They replied saying that he had a good reason- I don't think it was- and that if I kept at it they could find where I live and kill me
@@exsenator1 Do much for a free country. A country where the Right and religious extremists have the freedom. What a joke.
Love this. Let’s make it trendy to have rational discussions again.
Conversations like this truly fill me with joy and hope for the future!
whats with the negative comments? They’re literally agreeing with each other
Ana is probably one of the best and most eloquent debaters I’ve ever listened to. Going up against her would be a challenge in my opinion
@Larry D Larry, bring what ju got!
Laughing is a really poor argument.
Hahaha she is a "whose cameltoe" nutcase lmaooo
@Seek and Destroy Same reaction I had to your username I'm sure 10 year olds find cool lol.
I would never have heard Ben Shapiro speak if he hadn’t agreed to this conversation with Anna. I give him credit for that.
He heard her out and her give her point. Awesome for the both of them.
I really respect this Turk lady for opening up to debate and conversation!!👌👌👌
This sort of rare civil debate grounded in humility is really appreciated. I wish we could have more discussions like this focused on the notion that there are two human beings involved, and not let partisan politics define the conversation and turn those people into caricatures or stereotypes.
I think these conversations are super important and very glad to see them happen. Well done, keep it up Ana
If no dovial progress results, it's all a waste. Only way ahead is activism and civil disobedience.
Just the fact that this conversation is happening at all makes me feel hope.
Kasparian is the beat TYT anchor. Period. I basically only listen to her. This was a great conversation.
Title should read "why did you turn my show into your show?" She blew him away with calm logic. The right cannot handle sensible debate without hyperbole and division.
The hyperbole and noise are the death thoes, conservative is dying as fast as religion is. Another couple generations and that'll be it for both.
Honestly he seemed to handle it pretty well.
That said, it doesn't make him less of a scumbag fascist though. Sorry Ana.
How did she blew him away 😂 they both had a nice conversation
An intellectual and mutually beneficial discussion had by Ana and Ben
Ana, thank you for being you, you're what America needs and the world needs, people that are willing to challenge things, express themselves and also explore things appropriately and professionally
Thank you TYT
She sure uses a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.
She's frightened of him.
That would be Michael Eric Dyson.
How refreshing - two well-informed and highly intelligent people
debating with tact, diplomacy and good manners.
Well done, Ana and Ben - RESPECT.
Anna - newfound respect. Loved what you brought
We need more conversations like this. Thanks Ana, Ben, and TYT!
this was an excellent exchange. My thanks to both of them for engaging. I could listen to this degree of conversation for hours.
So glad to hear respect-full conversation
When two people who disagree actually TALK to each other the yelling and name calling stops and real progress can be made.
100% agreed - however... it's more than a little silly to hear this coming from Kasper when she *frequently* says insulting things about Shapiro (not that he doesn't deserve them) when he's not sitting in front of her. I mean seriously, how many times has she made fun of him for not being able to get his wife wet? How many times has she called him names on the main show when covering some absurd thing he's said?
I'm much more in her corner than his - but I'm still going to call shenanigans on this kind of nonsense.
I thought that the fact the Ben respected Ana and allowed her to talk and express her thoughts and ideas unrestricted was awesome. She spoke much more than he did, and I feel like he was listening to her, not just hearing her, and it shows a great amount of respect. I appreciate them both greatly. We need more of them
trying to win a debate without facts, data, examples is greatest threat to our freedom
@@howardcarmichael2024 I didnt feel this particular segment, as shown, was a debate. It was a meeting of the minds.
@@johnsample9640 well said. It was an honest discussion.
@@johnsample9640 No. Ana obviously rehearsed everything she said. And they are not even her own ideas. She is just a little wit picker.
@@TylerJMartino its called preparation. she knew what she wanted to talk about and prepared accordingly. so what? they all do
I don’t know who Ana is but this exchange between her and Ben is so refreshing. There is so much tension between opposing views. She seems to understand the importance of truly hearing an opposing view. There is a lot that most agree on that is missed because we focus so much on what we are at odds with. Time for both sides to take off their blinders and listen.
What pisses me off about Shapiro is that he sounds like a reasonable person willing to have a conversation. When you listen to his actual views you find there is no room for compromise.
Well said.
Eric, everyone comes up with their views, compromise happens when people get new information to challenge their set belief systems. Ben often says, "if there is information to the contrary, I'm willing to change my position."
@@loscabronesnomellaman7683 ya, but I don't believe him. At least on many issues.
@@loscabronesnomellaman7683 Ben often tells lies...this is just one of them.
You have to prove him wrong first. That's what a debate is about. Facts over feelings.
Nice to hear a conversation that's approached respectfully and intelligently with the intention of understanding.
Refreshing to hear a civil discussion sans ad hominem. Thank you both. More of this type of interaction can heal the nation.
You're actually strengthening your own positions by conversing w those w different views.
Intellectual honesty is a critical piece of those conversations for them to move us forward.
Ana is right. Have disagreements doesn't mean the other person is an awful person.
However in this case, Ben Shabeepo is an objectively awful person.
Exactly!! You can disagree on ice cream flavor, not about bigoted beliefs that harm minorities.
How is he an "objectively awful person"? I think you should change the objectively to subjectively to make it more accurate!
@@loscabronesnomellaman7683 I think my claim is quite accurate.
I mean, pick a subject and I can demonstrate it.
This was really a thought provoking conversation. The sincerity and equitability of both individuals really made think there is hope for mankind, after all...🙂
I respect her for opening up to new ideas, love that for her
but she's not opening up...she said she's willing to talk about it, but in the end one side has to change their mind and that wont happen when both sides are sure they are right.
Anna is queen !! And yes shes right we can have intelligent conversations. Great show of humanity
You are either for the real, real wealthy or the less fortunate at this point. This is all over place with no real narrative of substance to fix things. The infusture bill have passed and they should start working on that bill. Done by all Democrats.
And Ben is a pig. He cares nothing about the poor, needy, and down and out. They embarrass him and thus he hates them.
We need more conversations like this. I have to admit I expected this to be a screaming match glad it wasn't lol.
Wow! What a great conversation! You are relatable here and I can’t believe I can listen to you. As Americans, we should start listening to each other again.
This is the way politics should be discussed- with respect. Glad to see these two start
If only mainstream media could bring this level of conversation and debate on the air : a polarizing yet respectful one, based on divergent ideological matters, facts, and anchored in an open mind, and a willingness to challenge and be challenged without "grabbing the gun". No Agenda, no hate and none of the fake news circus & other conspiracy from outter space. BRAVA!
That doesn't bring trp
Shapiro's voice is the greatest birth control in the known universe.
@@alphabetpeople2902 Lol, what?
@@alphabetpeople2902 I think her not being a biological man was kind of a given? Are you trying to be insulting? Because you're just embarrassing yourself
@alphabetpeople2902 Oh...well cool it. If you're ostensibly in support of LGBTQ+ rights, you probably shouldn't be using Trans identity as an insult.
Yes thank you both!
We used to say, "I might disagree with what you say, but I will defend, to the death, your right to say it." We don't do that anymore.
True, now people are canceling each other.
Ben Shapiro is NOT a good faith actor. That’s where I disagree with Ana.
Not when he’s debating an issue with anyone he doesn’t consider to be a near peer, then he’s condescending, throws opinion around as if it were fact, and considers anything that threatens his authority to be immoral. I wouldn’t have wasted time listening if I weren’t certain that Ana would wipe the proverbial floor with him if he got out of line…
@@brookebradford8009 Ana isn't a near peer though. She's way more informed and way smarter than him.
It truly is a shame that discussions like these are looked at as odd or unusual. We as adults with critical thinking skills should have an expectation that these types of interactions/discussions ARE the norm. The fact that differences of opinion exist among all of us are what enrich our thinking and make us well-rounded individuals.
I loved it. I wish we could have seen it behind the scenes. I'm sure they visited; she does smoke. I bet she had a cigar with Micheal Knowles.
Definitely have a newfound respect for Ana. Strongly disagree with her on a ton of issues, but I admire her willingness to respectfully debate. She is a very intelligent lady
The only reason shes being mild and nice is because she knows if she got into a fair dinkum debate with Ben, shes history... he would completely destroy her.... Very intelligent?? as compared with Ben?..... chalk and cheeze difference
Lol shes no near intelligent compared to ben
You can hate Ana, but why are so many of these comments letting that overshadow what she is saying in this clip? I’ve been on both sides of the political isle, mainly bc I’m not looking for discourse that agree with mine, I’m looking for opinions that are actually based in principles. I have been extremely critical of Ana and the Young Turks the last two years, but when I hear her in this clip, it only helps bring me back to my own principles and I can help but remember she isn’t an enemy and she isn’t some nefarious person looking to push certain narratives for personal gain. And I think more recently she’s actually proven that by pushing back against the left wing trans narrative and losing a lot of support as a result of it, something I can’t in good faith say I would also do (although I hope I would) if I was in her same position. It takes some serious backbone and REAL principles to unapologetically stand against the people your career and livelihood depend on, and for that I respect her way more than the people in here who I might agree with on more issues but don’t have the integrity to acknowledge the good in people they’ve already determined “are bad.” It’s the exact same mindset that drove me away from the “left.” Treating every conservative like they’re terrible awful people. It’s gross. And if you hate when they do it, then turn around and do it yourself, you’ve proven yourself to be the same kind of sheep with a different master
I really have to commend both of you for this engaging and open minded discourse, thank you for this.
Shapiro looking and sounding more like a little boy than usual knowing a strong intelligent female like Ana is not going to take any of his BS. ❤ her
So refreshing to hear people using their words to convey ideas & ears to actually listen. Doesn't happen enough.
Conversations start when you realize you agree with some of the points of the other side.
When I was over at the Daily Wire video of this, Everyone was glad that Ana came to talk. No one I saw was telling Ben he was selling out. I don’t know why it is so different over here.
Because we are not white supremacists engaging in a coup. We are not a danger to democracy and the lives of millions of people in vulnerable demographics. I feel betrayed by the implication I should be willing to just get along with monsters.
@@zahiraallen9965 I watch both Tyt and Ben Shapiro and Ben actually condemned the people who stormed the capital and said he didn’t believe the election was stolen. Also, Ben was a big advocate of getting vaccinated.
Not everyone on the right is the same. There is a civil war on the right. It would be good for you to watch people on the right more closely instead of just watching clips cut from their worst moments.
@@zahiraallen9965 There are bad actors on the right, but there are also good people too. Instead of dismissing all republicans as monsters, it is necessary to understand why people feel the way they do and have a conversation. Not all conversations will go somewhere and not all people on the opposite side are good faith actors, but it is the only way this country can move forward. Otherwise, we will destroy each other and the whole country will go down as a result.
@@ericseamons9982 condemning is good, but he remains Right Wing. And he is horrid in other ways. People of conscience are not Right Wing. The entire agenda is about power, domination, and control, whether overt or covert. They are not kind. They are mean. We have nothing in common.
@@ericseamons9982 there are not good people on the Right. Nazis are not good people. They ARE monsters. If they don't want to be perceived as monsters, then they should stop doing horrible things. It is not my responsibility to understand them while they burn our country down to the ground.
How unusual 2 intelligent well mannered people engaging in conversation !
Getting redpilled involves an individual being disgusted with a single element of the people they identify with. Once that emotion is there, big questions are asked. That individual begins to distrust everything they are fed. Then comes the massive political shift. It simply takes one element that disgusts you to see the greener grass.
At last, a sensible, reasonable conversation. What a change to see people coming from different viewpoints presenting their thoughts in a respectful, open manner. ‘Iron sharpens iton’.
It doesn’t mean he’s an awful person, but he is.
Once he started talking I had to turn it off. His voice just irks me.
Open honest dialogue is never a bad thing
Simply amazing! I love this. Two people with totally different politics that can have a respectful conversation.
Anna is my hero!
How refreshing to listen to people on opposite sides of the political spectrum discuss things rationally.
What a wonderful conversation between those that disagree on many subjects. Let’s work together.
15 years ago, respect for the other side was prevalent. We conducted ourselves as ladies and gentlemen. Disrespect for the other was considered a failure. Only in recent years, has this pathological deficiency existed.
Tan Suit. Dijon Mustard. Peanut Farms.
I can't believe how well spoken Ana is
Ana is right about trying to understand each other. We can disagree as long as we don't attack each other. Ben seem to understand and willing to do it,but most likely still attack people different opinions.
New found respect for Ana Kasparian...and it is true...education leads to enlightenment and englightenment leads to better lifestyles and better living. The point was made that no one is going to agree 100% of the time with everyone. There will be disagreements but the key to success is finding the common ground and teasing out the finer points to arrive at a better conclusion. I was glad that she was willing to sit down with Ben and to acknowledge that while she may disagree on certain issues that there is one thing they both agree on....Respect!!! That is the foundation for any and all conversations. Excellent posting.
@@paullaroque5960 unfortunately what you're writing is true. The quality of education has dramatically dropped and critical thinking has all but been erased from the college curriculum. The only way to fix this is to start forcing the colleges to bring in more mainstream professors and the only way to guarantee this happens is by withholding funding and donations if they fail to comply. It is all about funding for universities and colleges!
@@carylanguirand7170 but if they fail to comply with who's ideas of what is correct? see the problem?
I'll never be able to respect "I am better than you" Kasparian. The most she can hope for is acknowledgement.
@@GeeseH I think you missed my point. Perhaps I didn't clarify my statement enough. I too would agree that Ana K in the past was very much in the leftist camp so much so that any discussion that would bring her into the middle and to get her to acknowledge that perhaps the other side had some valid points was next to impossible. However, in this exchange with Ben it was refreshingly candid and surprisingly civil and to her surprise there were were a lot of points to which they both had similar thinking and ideas. There some points that they didn't agree on but then in the real world no two people will agree on everything unless they live in a complete bubble. This is the reason for my "new found respect" because for the first time I saw her willing to openly and without hostility exchange ideas in an open debate. It was quite refreshing to say the least.
@@SyntheticStuntMan You make a valid point but the key is to start somewhere and nowadays the way to exact change at colleges is through the checkbook. Harvard and Columbia just witnessed what happened when two major alumni givers pulled the plug on their donations.....It not only made them stand to attention but it made them realize that they are tied to a set of standards that they have in recent times failed to uphold.
I think you would agree that college is the only time in a young persons life where there should be a free flowing exchange of ideas and with that a maturation process that is "supposed" to come as the student progresses through their 4 years at school. They have no responsiblity accept to keep an open mind and to absorb as much information as possible from all facets of life through the exchange of ideas and philosphies. However, what we have seen is just the opposite. We have seen the intentional planning and programming of students and the results are quite damning. We have students who are being radicalized and institutionalized where all critical thinking is removed. You are no longer expected to have original thoughts and ideas. Alot of this has to do with social media and the insanity that is being pushed out over the airwaves but this is also being pushed right in the classroom. We are now seeing students who completely unprepared for the real world, that have no concept of hard work or how to handle and work through complex or even simple issues that befall them. We are watching an entire generation being set up to fail.
So refreshing to see a debate between two curious respectful individuals from opposite side of the isle. More of that please!
It was a great conversation, I wish we could have these boundaries in politics. The hate show is getting so old.
This is exactly what we the American people want - to just get along and have some respect for each other
I wish the Young Turks were as open as Ana Kasparian is here exchanging ideas with Ben Shapiro. I honestly can can not sit through a Young Turks show it exaggerates out of context. So I am a little confused and surprised listening to her speak so intelligently now.
I just had the random urge to search "young Turks getting owned" because I thought it would make me laugh. And then I found this video. And damn it now I have to give them a tiny percentage of respect just because of her.
Even though I fervently disagree with most of what Ana Kasparian espouses on TYT, I have to pay her respect. This is what this country needs. As individuals, we are all so much more than our political beliefs and this needs to happen much more. Kudos to Ben and Ana for doing this. As cliche as it sounds, let's have more "Agree to Disagree" conversations.
Ana is Armenian. She's on a show called "The Young Turks". The Young Turks was a political movement that committed the Armenian Genocide. It be like Ben being on a show called "The National Socialists".
His voice makes this hard to watch
I was going to say that and then thought it's petty, BUT so glad you said this. And he talks so fast. He's like a chipmunk. Yea, it's hard to take in other but small doses.
We need more conversations like this.
it's to sterilized. She doesn't challenge him on anything.
