It was also because of the 'Sam Harris issue', starting with the events discussed in the video, that Dave Rubin left TYT. Uygur has become everything he used to rail against. His situation kind of reminds of Dennis Miller's infatuation with George W Bush early in W's first term that essentially has dead-ended his career.

I will be honest, as those videos started I had to Google both TYT and Sam Harris as I wasn't particularly familiar with either. So I don't have any bias either way. So as I watched that conversation, I felt 100% that it was Harris that was doing a vast majority of the talking and dragging the conversation down to a crawl, and I also felt that while he was given leeway to talk for long stretched of time, that when the interviewer would try and counter point that Harris would only wait a matter of seconds before interrupting.
From what I saw, it didn't seem like the interviewer was trying to be a fraud or ratings huckster?
