I don’t need to. I’ve watched hundreds of hours of his commentary and am able to formulate my own opinion after following him for years. Even if he lost an argument, it wouldn’t change my mind.

He’s good, I think he drifts into anti-trump territory a little too much for my liking, bottom line is Ben generally supports Trumps policy but disagrees with his moral character and past- and I get that, but to see the mainstream media full force anti trump, we need all conversative voices to unite behind trump.

Ok, so your are code pink, got it.

We've given Israel $84 billion in aid since 1949 at a cost to U.S. taxpayers of almost $135 billion.

Washington Report on Foreign Aid

Funny how "conservatives" bitch and moan about funding NATO, but call us who apply the same standards to funding Israel, a nation far wealthier than many NATO members in Central and Eastern Europe, code pink. How is spending tens of billions of tax dollars on a country whose nominal per capita GDP is over $40k per year making America great again?

The POV that he either “won” or was “destroyed” is based purely on how the person felt about Shapiro before watching one second of the video.

We need allies buddy. There are many many enemies around the globe to our freedom. The spy gate scandal fallout will badly damage our relationship with the 5 eye allies, so yeah, we need a good relationship with countries like Israel. Sorry you can’t grasp that.

I agree in having allies. Our problem is we buy allies.

One of those situations where he won the battles but lost the war in my view.

Firstly he was unprepared and got snared by a troll job.

Then he went full on Chernobyl and resorted to counterproductive ad-homs proving the guy’s main point.

I won’t deny that there is a price tag placed on cooperation, but there is an ideological foundation of being allies that is deeper than that. Basically the United States and Israel are among the last staunch defenders of western civilization.

In that clip he is interviewed by perhaps the only smart journalist he’s ever encountered.

Shapiro is unable to muster even the simplest defense of his ideas. And resorts to name calling.

The interviewer, as mentioned, is an arch conservative who is asking devils advocate questions.

Shapiro had clearly never thought though his own ideas.

It’s bad.

Ben is good at dunking on college students at least. The “dark ages” question triggered the hell out of him. Yikes.

Ok, so the guy lost an argument and was dumbfounded. Maybe he was having a bad day. Maybe he had just been in an argument with his wife.

Tell me, do you operate at 100% every day? I know I don’t. It is a good day If I'm at 80-90%. Somedays I’m at 50%. Somedays maybe even less.

Could Ben not be that same way? He is human. He had a bad encounter and that’s ok with me. He will live to fight another day.

I don't get the Shapiro hate, Tbird.



Because he doesn't worship Trump and agree with him on every point.

Because he makes people feel stupid who can't understand the points he makes.

Because most baws want to kick arse and Shapiro wants to win debates.

Because he's Jewish.

Because he's short, a little effeminate, is married to a relatively hot doctor chick, and makes lot's of money.

Because he's judgmental of immoral behavior

Because he doesn't respect his lessers and is open about that

etc etc

I think for an interviewer to roll in with Americans are full of rage, and only Democrats have answers and here’s a half dozen random comments that show you are part of the problem probably wasn’t the best premise to take into the interview. Shapiro didn’t handle it well, but he wasn’t the only one that came off less than stellar

Shapiro is an Israelite who cares more about Israel and their interests than America.

If you ask Ben he would (and did) say this.

Ben Shapiro says BBC host destroyed him, apologizes: ‘Broke my own rule... wasn't properly prepared’


Fox News Link


So if Ben is admitting he got beat, it might be time to stop fluffing him.
