Welp, I guess the algo decided this weekend was my turn to watch this interview. A few observations:

1) I keep hearing how talented Fuentes is and I see it. So much of persuasion is a person's voice, the way they enunciate, the confidence and crispness in their voice. He has that.

2) I reject his premise that American kids are guilt shamed in school about the Holocaust. If anything, learning about it in school made me prouder to be an American, because we were the saviors; we were the heroes in the story. We learned about young guys storming the beach under heavy fire to save people who were being tortured and killed.

It was never "you look like a German, don't you feel bad about the Holocaust?" It was "bad things were happening, and we (America) were liberators".

3) I don't know how anyone can defend his "Hitler is cool" comment, and Piers did a poor job questioning him about it. It wasn't just a "oh their uniforms were sharp" comment either, it was saying Hitler the person is cool. Fuentes claims to be a Catholic, which I assume means he believes in the Ten Commandments. How is a guy who broke Thou shalt not murder millions of times "cool"?

4) At times Piers was insufferable (not understanding proportionality) and at other times he did a good job. He gave Fuentes more of a chance to state his beliefs and allow the viewer to make up his/her own mind than I expected. He's way more pro-free speech than I assumed given his British/CNN roots.

5) I think Fuentes is smart and talented but has a lot of growing up to do. He contradicts himself a lot. He seems lazy and undisciplined. I'm all for bucking the system and rejecting the political correctness of the day but Fuentes is quite the imperfect vessel for that message.

He should be a true freshman, not in high school.

I wasn't sure when his birthday is, I guess he turns 19 this spring?

I think this is a true statement unless a kid has been held back. A guy who is going to be 19 going into his senior year may do well to reclassify if he can, but otherwise, I would think their body needs to mature a bit more before going against the grown men playing in the SEC

Agree. He was 16 when he enrolled January 2024 which is preposterous for a college student. He was obviously given terrible advice.

A lot of these things, to me, are like those "don't feed the animals" signs. People have good intentions but it creates a bigger unseen problem.

It may feel good to essentially erase a nation's borders, but it can cause a lot of pain down the road.

Just something to think about, because I do think you mean well.

Off topic but didn't you used to have a profile pic of Les eating a blade of Tiger Stadium's finest?

Historical wins & losses and the brand.

All the other stuff (money, population, etc) you could argue it's even or slight advantage LSU.

Sankey should be fired - the sec is going to beat the crap out of each other an the winners get a 10th sec game and possibly 4 more hard games - and they just made the rosters smaller and no wall ons. Pure insanity

I wish I had more upvotes to give

It's insanity

He patiently waited 9 years for the perfect opportunity... turns out he should've waited 9 years and 5 days. Life is funny :lol:

Revisiting this milk point from last year after watching tonight.

Assuming they didn't actually finish all that milk with their pizza, it's doubtful they would have tossed it before breakfast the next morning since they expected to get up early for the airport. And since they obviously slept in and were in a rush, it's doubtful they would have remembered to toss it before they left.

So Kevin realistically should have had milk left to drink, yet he still bought more milk at the grocery store.

But even if we are to accept that the McCallisters finished the milk or remembered to throw it out, one of Kate's FIRST thoughts when she and the family get back home after this whole ordeal is, "Someone has to find an open store, we don't even have milk here." WHAT THE HELL? This woman should keep track of her kids with the same energy she uses to track the milk supply.

This is a great point. The milk references are suspiciously prevalent. Big Dairy's fingerprints are all over this.

I never noticed until today that it was 2 men
