Tucker constantly takes digs at Shapiro. It's pretty funny.

Candace and the DW had a bad breakup.

Brett Cooper's breakup wasn't as bad but it was not nice.

Stop talking about Israel 24/7. Let your stars like Walsh lead the way.

i listened for a good long while to knowles, shapiro, and Walsh i really stopped around Oct 7 2023. I never even listened to Owens much. I might listen to Walsh for a cultural thing or Shapiro for a legal one, but they've rotated out of my daily listens.

i probably agree with them on 90+% of most issues. The Israel thing is a big turn off. Of the "two options" I'm pro-Israel and other than them being children of God made in his image, I don't really care about Palestinians. But Shapiro waves away every a-hole thing Israel has done towards them and just calls the whole people group terrorists while pretending Israel are the good guys providing them electricity and allowing them to exist.

On the flip side, I like Dave Smith a lot and he totally ignores Palestine's complete and utter inability to function as even a third world country. There is a good reason that Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iran, etc don't take them in as refugees. Because they're morons that wear out their welcome everywhere they go.

DW has lost a lot of it's luster. I think it's still valuable in the media and culture wars but they let Ben's commitment to Israel submarine the company.

I have never seen any evidence that Knowles and Walsh are big Israel guys

Not sure about Knowles.

Walsh is opposed to helping Israel. But he's also opposed to helping Ukraine, Palestine, or anybody.

When all the Owens stuff was going down, somebody called him out for not having the same ire for Walsh and Ben said, "he doesn't want to help anybody, ever. I disagree, but it's a consistent position.

Jeremy's Razors were absolute garbage

Walsh focuses in on one topic too much.

quote:

---

One example is Walsh saying conservatives should not focus on making video game and comic book content because its for children. Such a massively retarded take, as not engaging the culture war on every front ensures you lose.

---

I guess. I think he just personally hates the content a lot (as he should). Still, I agree you can't just ignore all that.

I see constant skyscreaming on here about DW.

I listen to Walsh and Shapiro podcasts a couple of times per week. They seem pretty on point to me.

What am I missing? Where is all the hate coming from? I find Walsh in particular to be entertaining and mostly correct.

You are missing that people are terrible at determining who their enemies and friends are. They hate Ben because he loves Israel (shocking behavior from a guy who wears a yamaka). They hate Ben because he promoted the vaccine even though he now regrets it and Daily Wire lead the fight against government mandates. They hate Ben because he was critical of Trump years ago even though he hosted fundraisers and was enthusiastic for Trump this election. Just like the crazy left has purity tests, the right has its share as well. Daily wire is painted as grifters despite there being a great deal of diversity in thought among their personalities. There is no logic to it at all.

I won't trash Shapiro as much, as if there is a big political story, especially legal, he is a go to listen, for his ability to break everything down.

Ben Shapiro is so much smarter than 90% of the posters on this board that him talking to them is like a theoretical physicist talking to a collie.

Which is why they hate him here.
