No, not the old cartoon strip. The far side of the political debate.
Evidently, there is a liberal philosopher, Sam Harris (Never heard of him) who is a thought leader for the left. He was recently highlighted on Gutfeld's show, talking about Trumpism and the knee-jerk reactions from his side of the political aisle. It's in the A block and you can watch it here. It starts about the 1:30 mark. Harris says basically, that Trump was right and that the southern border is a complete catastrophe.
Out of farness to Harris, I went looking for the original podcast, and found it here. It seems that Gutfeld's clip was accurate and fairly reflected Harris' views.
Taking a break from peeling shrimp (yeah, we're doing that. Belle wants to make a shrimp scampi for lunch) I listened to the remainder of the podcast and found it interesting. There was some discussion about the way the pandemic caused a lack of trust of the public on the "experts". I found it instructive that the left believes that public trust was shattered but has no real idea on how to restore public trust in our benevolent government.
Sometimes it is fun to go down the leftist rabbit hole.

It's not just fun, it's necessary, and very astute!
You need to know what your enemy is thinking, where they are with issues, and what they are contemplating moving forward.
Of curiosity, what are you paying for shrimp over there. Local Orlando is $5.99 head off ON SALE. I made gumbo yesterday and plan on another batch for the freezer on Friday while the wife is at her church sewing group.
Sam Harris was one of the “evangelical atheists”, like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, back in the ‘90s. “God is dead,” and such. Christopher Hitchens is dead; God still isn’t.
