Hypothetical debate

[Guest]

I was recently thinking about what a Ben Shapiro and Milo Yiannopoulos debate would look like. What do you think it'd look like?

Who?

Ben Shapiro - A well known and respected conservative podcaster.

Milo - He basically just exists to provoke people.

Ben Shapiro is a conseravtive speaker who has a beef with Milo Yiannopolous, an alt rightist who fell out of favour because of supposedly saying he was OK with pederasty on an episode of the Drunken Peasants Podcast.

Still nobodies as far as my awareness goes. Sorry.

One of the truest things I've ever read.

Both were on The Rubin Report so maybe he could host a debate between the two.

I'd prefer a Ben Sharpio and a Tommy Vitor( he was a staffer in Obama's administration, and host his own foreign policy podcast).

That'd be interesting.

I think Milo would probably be massively discredited in a debate with Shapiro since Shapiro probably wouldn't come close to taking the bait unless Milo goes way too far to try to provoke him (like direct references to the Holocaust for example) but that would probably backfire on him way more than normal Milo debating Shapiro would.

Yeah both Ben and Tommy are close in age, so their generational experiences would be relatively the same. Plus, unlike Milo, Tommy is well versed enough in policy details that the debate would he worth listening to .

@Sunnymentoaddict I still think a Milo and Shapiro debate would be pretty funny.

Maybe cause I'm far from Milo's "ideology", he comes off more as an insufferable douche than actual humor( Bill Maher suffers from this at times). But the podcast is " Pod Save the World". I'll admit that there shouldn't be a surprise that a former Obama staffer will have a liberal podcast; but he did an interview with Rep Will Hurd(R-Tex)on the Iran Nuclear Deal- and Iran in general.

@Sunnymentoaddict It's because Milo has literally no substantive ideology of any sort.

Well, truth be told, neither does Trump, and he somehow became President... :S
