I saw an article and thread today that agrees with my assessment that Sean is a lousy interviewer. I’ve said it for years and they severely criticized his Trump Musk interview because he can’t just ask a question and then sit back and let them talk. He feels the need to insert himself and his ‘insights’ into the conversation. Listen he had one of the smartest people in the world and undoubtedly the best most insightful president in my life and he couldn’t just shut up.

He reminds me of a woman in my division who was working with me on an enforcement case and we were interviewing one of the leading figures in the world on fire matters who we had hired as our expert. I would ask him a question and she would answer and she had zero expertise in anything scientific but felt the need to try to show she was knowledgeable. She wasn’t and so I had to take her aside and tell her to shut up. He’s truly the expert and I want his answers not hers. That’s why we hired him.

Some people just try to hard to make themselves relevant.
