Hello and welcome to Broeconomics.

Now, in this episode, I wanted to be rather self-critical because, you see, I recently accepted an invitation to go on to a US-level show talking about Chud the Builder.

And, I mean, I'll play you the clip. I'm quite critical of my

performance here because I think that if you are already on the right and you're familiar with

what I'm talking about, you're probably going to think, oh yeah, that was fine. I don't think I

won over many people who would have started out critical of this or many neutral observers.

So actually what I wanted to do is I wanted to analyze debate in a hostile environment,

and I'm going to use my case here as an example of it, because I wanted to learn from this

that I can do better next time, but also just kind of get into the underlying points, but more than

anything, I think this is going to be something about how do you debate the left on ground that

they're very comfortable on? Because that's something, us on the right, we must always be

holding ourselves to the highest standards, because we simply don't get the advantages that

left-leaning media does. They evolve in a world where all of these

talking points are just assumed. They're inculcated in the education system in the media.

And so we need to hold ourselves to the highest standard when debating with these people.

So what I will give you is my editor will put in the actual exchange

and judge for yourselves. And then we'll come back and we look at what worked and what didn't

work and how we can debate with the left better on these things. Now, I didn't know who Brad

was going into this. I just got the invitation and, okay, fairly big channel, fine.

I'm really busy at work.

I'll do my hour and a half drive back to Winchester.

And as soon as I'm jumping on the call, so I'm kind of tired and I don't really know what I'm walking into.
