I'd love to see that.
Shapiro is a skilled debater but it's about his technique not substance.
His ideas can be easily deconstructed. Some of the shite he says is ridiculous actually. He says Keynesianism had never worked, that Glenn Greenwald was a self hating jew anti semite and most American regulatory agencies should be abolished.
If you can talk quick and know some debate skills then you can get away with any shite.

@Burnley123 Why won't AOC debate him? He made an attempt.

@GunSmoke9 sitting politicians almost never debate pundics because its one sided in terms of accountability. The politician has a record to justify and the pundit doesn't.
I remember a Dutch politician once getting so outraged by Noam Chomsky that he challenged him to a debate. It was an arrogant move, compounded when the Dutchman made a complete arse of himself and stormed out of the meeting.
In addition, Shapiros claim to want a debate for the noble reasons of finding a shared understanding and advancing intellectual discourse... Well its disengenuous. Shapiro doesn't debate like that and has even said himself that his main objective in any debate is to humiliate the other person. Shapiro knew she'd refuse and was doing it as a publicity stunt.
Chomsky vrs Shapiro is done thing I'd love to see. Even in his eighties, the Noam is formidable.
