Ben Shapiro to appear on Sam Harris' Podcast

This is the debate I've been anticipating for some time. Seeing both of them eviscerate Cenk just makes you want to skip the middle man that is Cenk, who has at least 30 IQ points less than them, and have a face to face actual debate. I do think these are the two greatest arguers that I have heard that are currently alive (although Larry Elder I think can also compete with them). The date isn't set, but it's coming up. It should be a fantastic discussion between the two of them since I haven't seen anyone (save for Christopher Hitchens with Harris) be able to debate them and win.

I like Sam Harris, although I'm not a fan of how he answers questions at times and seems to belittle people who he deems below him.
At the same time, watching him on Bill Maher embarrass Ben Affleck was hilarious.
He is also at the forefront of the fight against Islam, which I am very sympathetic of.

Should be interesting and I think they'll actually agree on a lot.
They're on 2 different levels, though. I don't think Shapiro is schooled in the philosophy department like Harris is.

It's not going to be a "debate". I can guarantee it will be a cordial discussion with disagreements on a few issues if they even come up.

I don't think Shapiro "eviscerated" cenk. In fact I was on here during the live thread during that debate and everyone agreed ben won but not like we thought he would. You're either assuming or misremembering due to a narrative to keep up, but it wasn't as bad as that adjective.
I doubt Shapiro goes too far debating Harris as that's his specialty, same with Shapiro and politics. They probably discuss a few open ideas lightly touching into politics and religion and most likely rationally agree to disagree on many things. Unlike people do around here. Only takes one rational person on the other side to realize how much you actually do have in common, just different views on how to get through life.

Update: Shapiro no longer to appear on Sam's podcast... Instead they've rented out a theater for a two hour debate between the two of them. The two best political debaters in the country, and they ideologically disagree on almost everything. Should be a real treat seeing them come across a worthy opponent for once. It's in December now however.
