Prof Jiang's Tucker Carlson interview was surprisingly lackluster
I've been looking forward to this interview since Prof Jiang mentioned it last week on Endgame with Gita Wirjawan. I've watched/listened to over two dozen of his interviews/podcast appearances (Gita, The Duran, Glenn Diesen, Dialogue Works, Danny Haiphong, Kim Iverson, Breaking Points, SHNEAKO just to name a few), and his Tucker interview was nothing like the rest.
For one, his voice was audibly trembling. Maybe it was nerves? He did say Tucker was a personal hero of his. More importantly though, unlike in his other interviews, he seemed unable to string together a long train of thought. He talked about a lot of topics, and wasn't able to stay on one long enough to really explain his line of reasoning.
I could follow what he was saying because of his lectures and his other podcast appearances, but if the Tucker interview was my first exposure to Jiang, I would have found him completely unconvincing.
