We go head-to-head on:

- Islam and culture in the West

- Socialism, communism, and the idea of utopia

- Privilege and identity politics

- The death penalty, crime, and justice

- Even the shocking reality of witnessing an execution in the electric chair

Clive and I disagree on almost everything — but that’s exactly why this conversation matters. If you’ve ever wondered how the “other side” thinks about prisons, privilege, or politics, this is the episode to watch.

👉 Let me know in the comments how you would have argued in my place. What would you have said?

Subscribe for more fearless conversations — and keep being a heretic.
