Chomsky is surprisingly easy to interview. Not only does he respond to Joe Public regularly by email, you can find him doing interviews with everyone from top journalists (like David! hh) to random podcasters all the time. There are interviews out there with various 'unknowns' who have shot him an email and he responded. He also speaks regularly to quite extreme characters on the right. Don't forget, he did an interview with Alex Jones (2007) and even Stefan Molyneux (c. 2014). Chomsky is a true public intellectual who will speak to almost anyone.

With Jones it was in 2007, when he was not on everyone's radar (he was extreme, but he hid it by being against 'both sides'), and with Molyneux he made him look like a bit of a tool. Chomsky is very much an old-school activist who engages and debates his opponents. Today's progressives are often too scared of 'platforming' people, which is not obviously a better approach, in my opinion.

Indeed republicans are all about tribalism. There’s no sense of the greater good, or even satisfaction that we have the ability to help the ones in need.
