Charlie Kirk to Take Rush Limbaugh's Time Slot.....

[countryboy]

Only one hour?

Seems odd to me. Not sure how they can claim he's "taking Rush's time slot".

Liberals often think they won a debate using information that is not comparable in their arguments.

Everyone, not just liberals, have that problem. Case in point is this very same debate you are referencing. Charlie Kirk was the offender. Charlie was using statistics only from narrow slice of time to make his point. Sam Seder (the liberal) caught him, and corrected him. The liberal was the one calling for apples to apples.

The brief part I saw was the liberal talking about Obama vs Trump for an 18 month period where Obama had a large pool of unused labor and Trump had already created so many jobs that we had no available labor. Obama also gained those jobs without an increase in the median wage (losing against inflation) while Trump increased the median wage significantly.

Kirk did not talk about Obama's job creation. He said Obama wage growth was flat (I haven't fact checked that yet). Kirk also said wages went up 3.8% during Trump's first ~18 months.

Sam then corrected Charlie's stats: If you took the FULL 18 months that Trump had been in office, wage growth was 1.7%, not 3.8% as Kirk tried to say. Inflation was 3.8% in that same time. So wages growth under Trump was actually negative, not positive.

According to Wolfram Alpha, inflation was low over Obama's last two years. It was near zero in 2015. For the first half of 2016 it was 1%, and sloped up to over 2% towards the end of the year.

A liberal would say they won that point while Americans lost.

A conservative would too, apparently.

Considering the range of the broadcast -- the number of stations and their audiences in the network -- Mr. Charlie Kirk has an opportunity to help reduce the level of political polarization currently extant in these United States of America. The effects of that polarization are easily seen, and they are not something which benefits the nation as a whole. He has a chance here to do his part. It's an important trust.

Regards, stay safe 'n well.

Political polarization? Of course: the right doesn't want the left's agenda. Not at all.

Good morning again, Peter.

From what I can see, a part of the 'left's agenda' is to try to strengthen ties with other modern democracies that we consider to be our allies. As you appear to be able to speak for the 'right', does they oppose that?

The right doesn't oppose strong ties with allies, but the right does oppose policies that do not put America first and which cede our sovereignty to global institutions like the left wishes to do.

Hi!

Perhaps, then, you might reconsider the phrase, 'Not at all.' Nuances matter.
