Nick spent the majority of this interview licking Ben Wizner and the ACLU’s free speech bona fides. You know what never came up? An ACLU bigwig saying “stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on”. He’s become Lesley Stahl in a leather jacket. So lame.
Hey Nick how about shutting up a bit and letting the guest talk?? Just a thought. We sure would rather listen to I Dream of Jeanie references rather than what Justin Amash says. Right, right, hmmm, right, oh here is a bunny trail listen to me….right, right…now I will ask a question with a really long explanation…right, right. Good lord. Watch some Larry King and let your guest speak.
I can’t stand Nick constantly interrupting and stepping on his guests just trying to finish a thought
Nick - shut up and let Helen Lewis talk. How insecure are you?
Interesting conversations on pertinent topics, if only Nick Gillespie could let his guests finish a single sentence without incessantly interrupting and interjecting with his monologuing.
