Darryl & Scott share their thoughts on the Tucker/Fuentes interview!

What if refusing to talk to the most controversial voices is exactly what cements their power? Cooper & Horton pull back the curtain on the platforming dilemma, asking whether careful engagement can cool a heated audience better than blanket exile.

Without excusing anyone’s worst statements, they examine a hard reality: the audience exists, and it doesn’t disappear when a figure is erased. So how do you guide influence toward the real world rather than drive it deeper underground?

We trace the path from an 18-year-old Fuentes tossed into the storm to a 26-year-old with a massive live viewership, and how early isolation can forge an identity around conflict. Darryl breaks down a rare moment of conciliation after the #charliekirkassassination and why even incremental shifts in rhetoric can matter for followers at the edge.

Darryl and Scott hold a clear line: dialogue is not endorsement. A rigorous, transparent interview can reveal differences that caricatures hide, and it can model how to challenge claims without performative outrage.

If someone shows up to speak plainly and without hate, we keep the door open—and keep the temperature down.
