This and acting like Israel is the number 1 priority for the US are my only real problems with him. He is just much more libertarian than Trump/ many of the posters here.

Incredibly incredibly smart, if more people like him ran the US there’d be virtually 0 unemployment and way way smaller federal govt than exists today. dude’s mind’s sharp as a tack when it comes to constitutional history and the Founders’ vision of limited government. Better quality of life for all and common sense would rule.

He’s smart in the sense that he possesses all of the knowledge you’d ever need.

But he’s also a dumbass because the reasoning behind his outrage isn’t logical half of the time.

If he could somehow learn to properly utilize his gift of vast knowledge then I’d probably like him.

He is smart, but he is not self aware enough to know he is not as smart as he thinks he is.

Thinks winning debate club type arguments that nobody cares about is better than actually winning. Desperately wants to be the house conservative for a liberal news institution and markets himself in that way. An Israel first warmonger. His sister’s khazar milkers alone have done more to combat anti-semitism than his entire life’s work two times over.

Well, he said that if the sea levels ever rise ten feet, I should just sell my house on the coast and move inland

Because the government can't stop it by taxing us and you should have personal responsibility. I'm sure that's tough for you to grasp

Ben is smarter then the average person but that's not saying much. He also talks fast to make himself sound smarter. There's a reason the only people he debates are iduots

He just said people would sell homes that were literally underwater

He's a high IQ kid that probably can't change a tire

He is smart, but is objective. That sometimes causes him to deviate from the script Conservative talking heads are required to follow.

And I absolutely DETEST the fact that he NEVER mispronounces anyone's name. With some of the foreigners this cat has on his show you know he must spend hours trying to pronounce their names.

I don't know why but this BIGLY pisses me off.

i think he's incredibly smart, but maybe not as smart as he thinks he is.

I have 2 issues with him:

1) Conflating Anti-Israel sentiments with Anti-semitism. I understand Israel's importance and greatly appreciate their role in the ME. They are our best ally over there, and they are the early victims of fake news, when Gaza launches rockets and Israel retaliates and the news ignores the first shots fired. They are in a tough spot and I'll stand behind them over any other ME country.

But they're not perfect and deserve a lot of criticism. They spy on us. They've bombed our ships once. Their acquisition of their land is moderately underhanded. For some reason this little twerp takes EACH and EVERY slight against Israel as anti-semitism and it's complete bull shite.

2) His TDS and urgency to jump on criticism to seem fair and balanced. Trump's statements post-Charlottesville are completely justifiable and a fair opinion when taken in their full context. Maybe he could have said "there were people marching that didn't like their history being taken away. When i say good people on both sides, I am exclusively talking about those people. Not any white supremacists." His statement is clearly saying that, but that's about the only thing he could have done to completely clear that up.

Shapiro will take an original story or soundbyte and jump on it to make it look like he's on the right side. Then double down.

Trump deserves plenty of criticism for plenty of things. Ben will credit him when it's due and that happens more often than this board will admit. But his criticism over trivial matters drives me nuts.

That being said, Shapiro, Rubin, and Crowder are the best options to sway the public. Crowder isn't necessarily changing minds with his "Change my mind" bits, but he's getting conversations started and plenty of kids walk away at least realizing that there's a valid conflicting opinion that isn't racist/sexist/homophobic. People can listen to Shapiro and hear a well thought out opinion that's not screaming.

Crowder and Shapiro are the way moving forward to change minds. Not Rush, Hannity and the like.

He is very intelligent, but not in terms of common sense. He can spew facts and data out as well as anyone. He just isn't good at using them to formulate great opinions.

Ben secretly loves GEOTUS. His circles won’t allow him to be open with it.

He's dead wrong. You should definitely barricade yourself into the flooded house.
