I was suitably impressed with the argument presented by Mr. Dreyfuss.

He emailed Tucker, asking to be on the show.

Tucker was quick to say yes.

It turned out to be different than what one might think.

RD's spiel was to tell America that Civics courses need to be reintroduced into the Middle and High School curriculums once again.

It was a great, quick interview.  Hopefully we'll have a linkable video sooner rather than later.


Interview starts at 0:55

This is the second time I've seen him on Fox News recently, and this is the second time he didn't come off like a raving leftist lunatic. I'm not exactly sure what is going on with him but neither interview was what I expected from him.

He's old school and actually understands how America is supposed to
Work.
He received an education and can think.
He admired Charlton Heston.

Still a lib, but actually an intelligent one, but still a
Lib

He became a Freemason several years ago.  I hope he's learning some things that the fraternity has to teach. One of those things is respect for our founding brothers.

I saw it. I gotta say I didn't disagree with anything he said. He didn't really state a position he pushed for civics to be taught in schools so our constitution and our way of life can be preserved. That is a good idea. It's circling the drain on it's current path, so any idea to teach civics is refreshing.
I don't care if he doesn't agree with me on issues. As long as he doesn't want to infringe on my rights, we can live side by side and not agree on everything.

Hard to argue with civics education being neglected and in need of revival.

Dreyfuss is a liberal, but the handful of times I've seen or heard clips of him discussing politics he struck me as the sort where I could amicably agree to disagree.

He made good points, and Tucker agreed. But, he conveniently side-stepped Tucker's question about why it was OK for Obama to threaten to withhold funds from NC, but unconstitutional for Trump to do it. I kept waiting for him to explain that, and Tucker let him off the hook. Tucker seemed enamored with the guy.

He was absolutely right with everything he said.

Both left and right, almost universally constitutionalism plays second fiddle to personal ideology.

Well the reason a judge never said it wasn't OK for Obama to threaten it is because Obama didn't actually do it so there was nothing to challenge.

(Just based on the conversation... if Obama actually did it, that's a different story).

So you want him to answer why it was ok for Obama to do something that he didn't actually do?

I was kinda impressed actually AND surprised. He didn't actually directly answer Tucker's real question (is it ok for states to defy fed law) but in a way he did and did it quite effectively with very little time and even Tucker seemed taken aback.  I mean Tucker is used to slaughtering guests but he really couldn't with Dreyfuss and the points Dreyfuss made resonated well with me.

Sure. The question was why was there no outrage when Obama threatened it. I would have liked to hear his answer.

Yup. It seems the concept of teaching basic principles and letting the chips fall where they may has been forsaken and displaced by the need to steer people toward specific outcomes.
