Serious question, I'd like to dig into some of their lectures/interviews to round out my understanding of the this discussion.

Ta-Nehisi Coates would be a huge mark of respect for Harris, in my opinion. He disparaged Coates pretty regularly and yet has thus far avoided sitting down with him. Coates, on the other hand, has proven to be a very intellectual, interesting, and respectful part of a debate, even with people on the right who he doesn’t see eye to eye with.
Even if you disagree with Coates, he’s very intelligent and well spoken. It’s a pretty big highlight of the problem I have with Harris sitting down in his own safe space, and avoiding prominent leftists under the guise that they’re a little too frightful for him.
I’ve grown to like Harris though, he’s just got a few glaring holes in who he gives (and more importantly, doesn’t give) a platform to, and how he handles certain issues. That’s why I find it to be a red herring when Cliff asks “where the libs at,” I mean, they’re everywhere, speaking in public and debates all the time, but of course you don’t get to see many if you’re just checking out who Harris and Rogan have on their latest show.
