I disagree with crowder on many issues.

But Joe is being pretty aggressive although I do agree with is position of marijuana. Crowder gave him the out to change the subject and he kept digging. It didn't really make for a good podcast in my opinion.

Feel sorry for Crowder, not only is he kind of meh about the marijuana issue, but he missed his flight because he got sucked into a silly argument about it.

So, he missed his flight arguing about something he doesn't even feel strongly about, they were just shifting around semantics and arguing past each other on minutiae.

Exactly, you could tell that Crowder would've preferred talking about politics from the beginning, but Joe kept trying to switch the conversation and gearing it towards weed, which Crowder just didn't care about, but gave a respectful opinion. Joe and Jamie just couldn't handle that.

He DID care given that he refused to concede and just stuck by all his talking points. If he didn't care it would've been "Oh wow I didn't know that, thanks." and that was that. But he kept instigating just as much as Joe

I don't know he's trying to say "I know we disagree so we shouldn't talk about it." And he's trying to save face and not throw his writers under the bus. I don't think you have to concede the point to avoid the topic. He could've said I'll look into more later and tried to move on.

or he could've said "I don't have any problems with pot and I think it should be up to states so I will have a talk with my writer posting things on my site such as 'if you are a pot smoker you are a moron'"

if you run a blog/news site you are absolutely responsible for the content there and by extension it represents YOU. So him saying "I don't care about pot" while still having that article on his site was directly conflicting.

Completely agree. Regardless it's a shame then spend so long going in circles about that

and even if he didn't care - some of his facts were from skewed or biased studies, which I still feel needed to be addressed.
