Specifically, this guy:

I'm sure some of what he says is blunted for the audience but not a lot, and Harris lets out a lot of slack in the rope - he spends about an hour establishing parameters and just getting the guy to talk about what he believes before he starts to narrow in on the key points like "are you okay with executing homosexuals".
You can also very easily see how someone already indoctrinated in many of these beliefs would find Wilson's approach eminently reasonable and even moderate compared to some shouty fringe-types. And yet at its core, his world view is utterly insane. This is also good ammunition for engaging in dialogue even with fellow Canadians who think there should be some role for Christianity or Bible-backed ethics to play in government, just to figure out where on the broad spectrum of crazy those people actually sit - if you're interested in having those dialogues at all, or if you can't avoid them for family reasons, etc.
It's very useful to understand what the real viewpoint is here because it's far too easy to just sort of generalize Project 2025 as vaguely interested in a theocratic state without being clear about what exactly these people are after, and on what timelines.

I watched it. It's wild just how level headed and calm he remains while justifying stoning people to death. "Not right away, it's something we'll work to" I think was the gist of it. This is a great example of why you don't give these people an inch, because they will bludgeon you to death with it. Not right away, just eventually.
