This is the first Trevor video I've actually watched in over 7 months. This is what I want to see from Trevor, not the quick cut/short attention span stuff that's been pushed for a while.

[@TayGlorious]

So true, this is a constructive conversation. No leading questions, no ambushes, just an open talk about different views and idea.

[@sglynn0326]

He runs a comedy show based around left wing biased news. Look for serious debate in non mainstream media left wing news. Despite that he's making fair points and calling out left cancel culture stuff, his show is made for 16-30yos to laugh at the GOP in the same way that Tucker Carlson controls the narrative when dunking in the most extreme libs. It's entertainment on both sides. Fox is mainstream in the same way that a show on comedy central is mainstream. They both have a demographic that they're tailoring ads sales too. Cenk on TYT regularly grills both sides of the aisle. Watch both sides of the convo and remove the cultural lense from your eye and actually digest the info and I think we'll be alright. Great interview on both sides and I think it's because they both removed the lense for 20 minutes

As an Independent voter, I genuinely enjoyed this interview and wish more conversations would go like this. Both seem like class acts.

[@akorn9943]

@Michael Green I hate that I have to agree. He seemed unbelievably sensical and mild mannered when he first came to congress, his response to Pete Davidson was one of the classiest things I’ve ever seen (although in hindsight I do hope he wasn’t just overblowing the whole thing for political purposes). But since the political mess that was 2020 he just seemed like he devolved more and more into the swamp of “hurr the other side is maliciously destroying the country” that consumes modern politics, especially when he was talking to his base. You can’t be a class act in front of your opponents and then turn around and drag them through the mud to score political points when they don’t have a chance to respond (although tbh Trevor Noah can be guilty of this too), and while tbh I think Rep. Crenshaw would truly prefer to be a part of a better way of doing politics, he’s too concerned with his political future to reject his party’s worse impulses, which only pushes America closer to the brink, regardless of how nice he is in conversations like this.

[@1963hardtop]

I appreciate this response and comment. But please consider that that actions speak louder than words. Please check Crenshaw's voting record in congress. You might find his words hold less weight. Also, "have conversations about..." has very little value in real world social outcomes.

What's valuable about this is seeing how each of them handle points they didn't expect or that appeared to refute their arguments. Given Trevor's ethnicity, it's possible he feels strongly about issues like CRT. Yet watching them both handle the differences in opinion and at least appear to come to a pseudo-consensus about parts of it is refreshing. I would like to see what Crenshaw has read that has influenced his negative opinion of CRT or if he's simply siding with his party (probably some of both).

Can I selfishly ask that we have this exact interview style (and interviewer) for all presidential candidates? In watching these interviews that Trevor has done in this style, I find myself understanding and respecting the viewpoints of people that I disagree with.

[@jiminauburn5073]

They problem is that if Crenshaw was a presidential candidate sitting across from Noah, I do not think it would have been as civil of a conversation. At least not on Noah's side of things. He would be trying to score points against Crenshaw and make him look as bad as possible, while trying to seem somewhat neutral. I was genuinely surprised that he could be this fair and balanced on this interview, after seeing the hyperbole that he spews on his show all the time about republicans.

[@willskywalk]

I have never watched an interview with Trevor because I THOUGHT I wouldn’t align with his views. Well, I stand corrected. Absolutely great interview. THIS is what we need in media. Interviews like this one where two adults can have a conversation without getting defensive. Just two people with different views sharing their perspectives respectively. Trevor, great interview, please continue creating this type of content. 10/10

[@JorgeFabrizio]

I appreciate how Trevor is evolving. He's learned the same lesson that Jon Stewart taught and I think some newscasters are learning the same. Under no circumstances do you have to defend your party. Frankly, it's better for both if you don't. Ideals get given a more real public testing and the newscaster shows integrity. If you want trust in the media back, start there.

[@FemNate]

Same besides the part about standing corrected, as I will never align with radical Leftist views after evaluating arguments and motives by both sides. I'm glad I watched this tho, because it looks like Trevor is maturing and willing to have a civil discussion where he and others can learn from an alternative view. Even if his views never develop into at least more moderate ones, I think his approach is refreshingly detached from the mudslinging I've seen in the past. Maybe even one day he'll come to realize the truth about why the MSM and influencers like Obama slandered Trump from the moment he entered office, and continue to do so with every weak argument they can find. Keep crossing your fingers for the Jan 6th hearing circus Trevor, and I'll keep crossing mine for you.

He’s usually more sarcastic and condescending on his regular show. This was much different, because I felt the same and was pleasantly surprised.

@@BrandonSL500 satire got its start through political cartoons and printed sections in the news, and was written to show the absurdity of (mostly) politics and social events. Most the of the jokes are set up or paid off by quotes or statements made by real people, showing how ridiculous their statements are. It takes a smart person to do that, and brighter people than news casters to write and put text through a comedic process to make it effective. In its nature, some people won’t find satire funny, it’s rooted in taking a side, but what most people won’t understand is that it’s also rooted in opportunities. If one side is giving a comedian pure gold, who are they not to use it as material. I’m pretty sure large statements like “Noah is barely a comedian, let alone knowledgeable about politics and history,” lack nuance, especially in the context of a video like this where there is nuance galore, but also doesn’t give him credit for what his actually is. A comedian. Sadly, a comedian that interviewed a politician better than most reporters on any side can. Comedy Central shouldn’t be a place trusted for news or information, and the fact that a satirical show like the Daily Show exists, speaks to the history and failures of the USA’s education system and our broadcast news channels.

I think the problem is that a lot of people won’t give the other side the benefit of the doubt. There are bad actors who are difficult to spot and seek to exploit divisions but most people do want what’s best for the country. If we can stop letting people whip up anger by claiming the other side are traitors or evil than we could be so much better.

It’s worth discussing when you agree to let us bury the waste in your neighborhood. Till then it’s a pipe dream at best and another malicious form of eco-terrorism that will punish the poor and the planet.

This was one of the best interviews - conversations - I've seen all year in politics.

The conversations that need to be had, and how to have them 👏🏼

[@cheyennefranks7684]

Our country needs more of this! Authentic respectful conversation goes a long way. Hope to see more of this in the future.

I enjoyed this thoroughly. Two adults asking questions, answering thoughtfully and having different points of view. I wish we could have more intelligent, thoughtful conversations like this.

Go to university and this could happen. But don't ask tooo many questions. Or you might go into critical race theory. In all honesty though. I had a reading on feminist environmental theory. I think someone was just out of ideas and need a phd thesis. But sometime you have to cross to the line to see the line. So not a total waste of time.
