I have not been a big Ben Kawaller fan from his previous ‘man on the street’ type reporting. But I will give him credit for his interview with Matt Walsh.

My opinion: I found the overall interview to be very good. Ben, once he got past his usual over dramatization (circumcise a cigar?) he asked good, relevant, open ended questions instead of gotcha stuff and didn’t make it about himself. Personally this should be Ben’s format. Much better than his man on the street style reporting. More substantive and deep. Ben was respectful with his questions and I think elicited thoughtful responses from Matt.

I don’t follow Matt other than the occasional pop up on my social media feeds, so I don’t know much about him. Matt, again in my opinion, provided thoughtful responses, gave rationals for his thinking and used common sense that I think a lot of people could understand.

Everyone will take different things away from this but speaking for me, I thought it was well worth 41 minutes of my time. Pleasantly surprised.
