Every time Sam does one of these debates it adds a full year to his life

I love how the guests get angry in real-time when they're exposed as idiots. Beautiful.

“LOOK AT THE NUMBERS” *Sam looks at numbers* “NO, NOT LIKE THAT”

My guy switched from “it’s all about the math” to “stop talking to me about the math” so quickly.

Crowder is right about one thing: avoid debating Sam at ALL COSTS

This caller is infuriating. I've known people like this in my life and they like to dominate every conversation, but their ideas are empty. The more worthless the ideas, the louder the shouting gets.

I love how Sam just calmly led this guy into a dark room and then shut the door behind them. Dude got uncomfortable real quick.

Now I see why Crowder had cold feet. Sam literally dismantles not just the ideology of the person he’s debating, but the way they think generally. That’s dangerous.

Sam’s super power is incredible. He can make grown men get extremely emotional and unstable in minutes.

“Why are you quizzing me on numbers man” after saying it’s a math problem. 😂 Guy is in way over his head

SAM SACRIFICED THIS MAN LIVE ON THE AIR.💀💀💀

The problem with libertarians is that they NEVER expect to be asked specific questions about how their system works. They just expect you to accept their premise of "government bad, better without gubmint" and that's the end of the conversation. But they can't explain to you *how* society would actually function without a government.

In the first 15 minutes I learned more about social security than the past 20 years of my life, this dude was straight up drowning in slow motion it was like watching a snuff film

It boggles my mind that this caller was completely unable to realize that a large contributor to the extended life span for those on social security was almost certainly the fact that they had more financial security because of the social security benefits they are receiving, which is a GOOD thing. I couldn't imagine being this selfish and brainwashed.

It was PAINFUL to see the dude eviscerated. Good job sam. He didnt even prepare.

It's just wild AF that a person can call someone a "F****** Idiot" and be upset at you for explaining why you're not, even while not returning the insults.

"Dude why are you quizzing me on fucking numbers man?" "Because you keep talking about math." Truly amazing, keep it up MR

Your guest embodied the "Dunning Krueger" effect Having gained a small amount of knowledge about a complex subject he has huge confidence in his simplistic understanding. Only idiots could disagree with him. The fascinating phenomenon is that hubris often seems more convincing than actual knowledge and expertise. His fans are likely celebrating his triumph of intellect on your show.

"it's simply a math question" *gets mad at math questions*

Hundreds of debates later, not a single Libertarian has ever beat Sam. Not one! Hilarious. This is why I watch this show

He cries about automation taking jobs but then says technology will save people?

Damn sam really is the debate terminator

That dude calling Sam "a f--cking idiot" was a perfect example of projection.

I've never seen someone lose a debate this badly. I wouldn't have thought it possible. If I were Ayman, I would commit Seppuku.

"There aren't enough workers!" I wonder how he feels about immigration...

Caller: "IT'S ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERS!!!" Also caller: "WHY ARE YOU FOCUSING ON THE NUMBERS!?!?!"

Have any of these callers actually argued in good faith? Sam has so much patience with these people. The moment he said his weird future predictions were valid but yours based on data were invalid because (???), I would have been like "okay we're done".

When I was first taught about 401Ks, it was supposed to be part of a triangle of retirement. One side the 401K, the second was the pension from work, and the third was social security. Then companies figured out that "matching contributions " was cheaper for them. They put a limit on matching, got rid of pensions, and can decide not to match whenever they want.

Sam debates are always gold

You can't say it's about math and numbers then refuse to debate them

I can believe how a country so hyped on liberty and justice managed to get its citizens to defend the wealthiest people at tehir own expense.

That went from “look at the numbers!” To ✨magic machine✨ really quickly

That PBD podcast really got the Libertarians stirred up. 😅

It's like debating a flat earther. This guy is a prime example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect

"Getting Congress to reform anything is impossible, that's why I have a machine that'll solve literally each and every single problem we have. Like that Todd Howard fella once said 'it just works" -that guy (probably)

Imagine calling someone an idiot on social media, then being humiliated on his show 😂😂😂

Caller: “you’re asking me to look into the future and I can’t predict that” Also caller: “I’m finding solutions for the FUTURE, DUDE!!!!”

That guy's most honest statement was, "I wasn't expecting to get on air."

This guy was so not prepared for this conversation. Under scrutiny he melted like an ice cream cone sitting on the roof of a parked car in Phoenix

Wild how asking for clarification makes the guy so angry

I remember my dad telling my uncle in 1979 that Social Security wouldn't be around when he retired. He died before he could retire, but here we are, Social Security is still around.

Caller: "It's a math equation, you dumb*ss!" Sam: "Ok let's talk about the numbers." Caller: "Why are you asking me about numbers?!?!?" Everyone listening: 😂😂😂

As an automation engineer, there will never be the "no worker" utopia. Every other car company laughed when Tesla said their new factory would be 90% automated.

I find it alarming that this dude's main argument is that the government apparently didn't account for Social Security lifting people out of poverty *and* raising the life expectancy of Americans in the process...despite poverty and life expectancy having a pretty obvious correlation.

That caller is disgusting. The way he got so angry is really revealing what kind of person he is.

Goddamn is Sam good at putting these people in a place and grilling them.

How can this guy explain the problem with Sam's thinking when he's not able to think critically or clearly? Biggest giveaway was in the 20 minute area when the man who'd been screaming angrily for 20 minutes told Sam, "You can scream and yell" as Sam continued to speak in a calm and clear voice.

“Don’t worry, some magical hypothetical technology will fix everything.” Five seconds later: “Stop talking about actual numbers, you’re not being realistic!” I think I need to ice my neck after that rhetorical whiplash.

It’s amazing how someone that knows so little pretends like we’re all idiots. Like at the very least you’d think he’d have done his homework

There's a real irony to the guys saying to sam "you can yell and complain" when he's the one yelling and complaining through the whole call.

This guy thinks rich people shouldn't have to contribute very much back to the society that enabled them to become wealthy. Ride the backs of the workers to the top, then leave them for broke in old age instead of paying into SS so they can make sure everyone has a floor to stand on.

This dude is so gaslit with his Conservative talking points, calls Sam unrealistic about getting the government to raise the SS cap, yet he couldn't explain how HE could get housing costs lowered.. ROFL 😅

"This ain't a quiz dude. I want to talk about solutions for the future." "You dont understand the problem" Thank you so much for actually debating these clowns for us to hear.

The guy was afraid of Sam’s ideas the whole call. His solution is to drown out whatever Sam had to say by screaming loud and repeating the same thing. It’s clear he’s actually the idiot but he’s afraid that it’ll show 😂

1) This guy thinks the average oife expectancy in the USA is 85?? 2) What does that matter? If people are living longer just raise the tax cap on it so the wealthy pay their fare share.

Sam: "Here's why everything you're saying is wrong." Caller: "DUDE!"

average libertarian that took finances without taking math too

I'll just state for the record if I wasn't getting social security taken out I would prolly spend that money on something I need or want now and not be able to save that money for the future. I think this goes for a majority of the working class as most of us live paycheck to paycheck and will spend most of what we have to just either get by, or spend on some vice that brings us a little bit of happiness in order just to get by without mentally breaking down because of financial inequality.

Lmfao The confidence in someone who is sooo wrong. Love it

When a baby cries, a Republican whines.

I just know in my heart that Emma’s condescending laugh kills these guys and I love every second of it

Life expectancy is currently decreasing in the US.

This guy just loses his mind 10 minutes in. Soooooooo funny to watch him just have a massive break down after some pushback. Talked all big on Twitter and then melts down in an actual convo. Did this guy seriously argue to have it so people just personally can invest instead of pay into social security and then go on to argue that in the future there will be no workers and everything is automated? If there are no workers then how in the punch drunk love of f#$% are peoples' investments supposed to grow until they retire and beyond? His example is f#$%ing ChatGPT? LOL

The dude was shrieking and hysterical but probably came away thinking he won the debate.

I wouldn’t want to debate Sam, I’d want to listen to him. He knows his numbers!

"Bro you're not even anticipating automation bro"

Libertarian says, "If everyone would just do everything that I tell them to do, everything would be so much better."

I love this guy's magical thinking. "Automation" and "technology" will cause the problem but then magically solve the problem if we just cut taxes and let rich people do what they want.

Dude really quoted the Joker and thought he was a hero 😂

My favorite is when a caller says something dumb and Emma starts giggling and looking around the room because she knows they fell into a Sam trap

"I'm talking about technology dude." -Guy who doesn't do the math.

Link to the call at the end?

I was at the tailend of retirements from companies. Even though I gave my entire working life to a corporation with the agreement of a retirement, the company cut the retirement benefits and then eliminated them all together. My 401 k lost most of it's value in 2008, and then was shut down, what little was left rolled over into a pitifully low return IRA. I still have a few years before I can collect social security, so I'm still working. That's what most people have to look forward to.

Christ I got a headache from that guy screaming over Sam and not knowing what he's talking about. 😢

Thank you Sam. I'm 70. Social Security keeps me out of poverty even though I have a small public employee retirement pension, some savings, and an IRA. I paid into Social Security for 51 years, while watching retirees cruise around in their RV's and raise hell anytime it was threatened in any way. I didn't mind paying into it. I figured my day would eventually come. It did. And of course, Republicans now want to kill/cripple it, SCREAM about it, as they always have. My IRA, BTW, can be taxed at between 25% and 50 %, when I reach an older age, if I don't withdraw a specified amount. Taxed at 25%. Think about that. When you are older and need money the most, you could take a 25% tax hit. Or higher. Now think if that was your only savings. Let's say you had $500K or a million. 25% of that. I worked full time past my 62 age where I could begin taking Social Security. I'd say at least half of my coworkers, friends and classmates never made it to that age. Or just barely beyond it. I resisted taking Social Security but when Trump got elected, and there was a full GOP Congress, I panicked and started taking it. (I know, Trump says don't touch Social Security now. I don't trust him.) So I started taking benefits while still working. One year cost me $4000 and another almost $6000 in money I returned to Social Security. Because I made too much money - like $27 to $28K a year. I knew it was coming and just saved the money, and therefore could pay it back. Make no mistake, the system IS rigged against low income and Working Class people. They can hit me with 25% tax penalties and take X1000 dollars of my income, but God help you if you want to raise the $160,200 cap, or make corporations pay, or institute Warren's wealth tax.

Sam: asks him about numbers Caller: bro why are you asking me about numbers?? Sam: my brother in Christ, YOU were the one who said you could prove this mathematically!

"I'm talking about the future dude!" lmfaoooo

Watching Sam spank crypto bros and libertarians has become a kink for me

It’s too bad none of the researchers at SSA considered that providing benefits to seniors might make them live longer. Big L in that one, gotta say.

Wow, this caller could boost his income by teaching a course on motivated reasoning. He's a natural.

A Seder master class

Omg I’m having flashbacks to growing up in a conservative family. Just yelling but saying nothing intelligent. Love you Sam

"what's your love language, not doing homework" lmaoooo

This show is the best part of my day 😂😂😂 I love everything you guys do in the Minority Report. Keep doing what you do lol

That guy was exposed as an idiot, so embarrassing! 😭😭😭

I died when Sam "PAUSED" the guy talking in real-time. LMAO.

I'm a Canadian(a ''commie'' to that caller) who loves your show,Sam. You give all of your callers,like this confused guy,a chance and they promptly self destruct. Swearing and calling someone ''dude'' and ''bro'' does ZERO to bolster your case. He clearly came on the air grossly unprepared.

The Trilateralists under the chair of David Rockefeller met in 1973 and concluded that expectations were too high because people were “…too well educated” and that “…there was an excess of democracy.” So they joined Buchanan’s Public Choice Theory notions - funded by the Koch brothers (now one) - whose work is described in the book Democracy In Chains: The Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America by Nancy MacLean. James McGill Buchanan with his pal Milton Friedman worked to change the rules and install Libertarian values in legislation. It is all documented. Bernanke was clear in his meetings with Congress that the federal reserve can mark up the govt accounts to enable govt spending. As you point out economics is created by us.

Dude sounds like he’s about to break down crying 5 minutes in😂

The thing with these guys is that they're not worried that social security will become insolvent, they WANT it to be insolvent. They want it wiped out as a program.

Wow. Empty barrels make the MOST NOISE. 😅 Dude died a slow and LOUD death out there.

I thought I wasn’t going to learn a thing from this video,but I ended up learning a great deal about Social Security. One more thing I learned is that one most do their homework,educate themselves before attending to tackle a topic.

"Nobody predicted covid" um, 100% epidemiologist knew another pandemic was coming

"Simon?" "No, it's Dunning-Kruger."

Medical companies pay like a billion more in adverts than innovation.

As a person, I appreciate the humanism.

right: the left won't debate us sam: you called me an idiot on Twitter and will now get a half hour segment on my show with 1million subs

This dude had way too many cuts and edits in his little video to believe in his sweet precious heart that he was actually ready for this discussion

"You should build a machine that reads the social security report." Someone get the Aymon Twitter guy to the critical burn unit, stat!
