How I think I sound like in an argument: Dave
How I really sound like in an argument: Cenk

[michaelsilverstein]

Such a strong start! Prager, "Where's my camera?" Proceeds to completely ignore moderator and look at the wrong camera. Very on brand.

[stevenljohnstonjr]

Prager was triggered! This is the same person that called January 6th a smokescreen.

[tronray]

Debating with folks like Prager is a total waste of time and energy.

[mr.zeitmaschine]

Cenk you dropped my jaw on the Armenians. Wow man. I’m Armenian and didn’t expect to hear that from you. I appreciate the honesty I really do

[justinsullivan]

This was no debate. Dave Smith and Cenk Uygur moped the floor with Prager and her.

I've been an American citizen my entire life, and I've never been asked if i support Israel. I dont!! I would rather the money go towards funding my own countries needs and infrastructure than go to a country that's using that money to buy my politicians loyalties. America's political system can not, and does not solve its own issues. We're drowning in dysfunction, but our lawmakers are concerned with other countries' issues ....

As some people pointed out in the comment section:

"Prager's argument was dishonest off the bat. The Arab states didn't oppose Israel simply because they hate Jews, they opposed the mass transformation, displacement, and subsequent massacres that occured against the native population. It was also clear from the start that Israel was a hostile nation."

"DURING THE HOLOCAUST no countries wanted EU JEWS, except Palestine. Now stolen Palestine is called "Israel". NATIVE PALESTINIANS are left homeless, stateless. WOW."

Nuff said.

One of many angry and disgusted LGBT and pro-choice (anti forced birthers) Canadian Non-Partisan/Independent Christians with political and denominational affiliations (and proud of it).

Dennis Prager holds a Guinness World Record as the worlds most flexible moral contortionist.

[JohnSmith-sbfp]

the fact that AIPAC isn't labeled a foreign lobbyist organization is mind boggling.

[banquetmeal]

Never thought I would see Dave Smith and Cenk Uygur on the same team.

[starsandmoon]

Dave Smith makes perfect sense, there should be no war between no one. We must all live in peace together

[rickywade]

Nobody thinks it’s wrong to take out a 15 story building claiming you’re looking for 1 tenant?

[jaankuum]

The funniest moment was when Cenk Uygur said Dennis Prager sounded like his Turkish relatives.

[microsoftpain]

This is so weird, Dave Smith and Cenk Uygur being on the same debate team, even though those 2 could not be more different. I'm only watching this for Dave. 💀

[Gimmemine]

What do you mean let the voters decide? It’s already clear no matter what our politicians will staunchly stand beside Israel regardless of their actions

[seanpatrick]

I just fell off my chair hearing Denis Prager claiming he believes in free speech.

[rosannarapalavicius]

I supported Prager in his position during the covid era, but when I realized how much a warmonger he is regarding nuclear bombing Japan and the wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iran, Siria, Libia and most of all Israel, I despise him and really hope he will have to respond to his Creator in whom he proclaims to believe.

[LocoGeorge]

Dennis Prager is so gross I can’t bare to hear him speak

[nowthenzen]

Amazingly Dennis Prager seems to actually believe his BS.
