Other than him being too focused on Israel over the immediately month following the attack, I like listening to him. He is way more tolerable than most on TV and the radio.

My favorite, however, is Chris Plante. Mainly becuase he believes the "media" and Democrats, but I repeat myself, are the cause of the downfall of America.

I have never really listened to him. Watched an interview with him and Megyn Kelly bashing Tucker (Megyn wasn't but Ben was) so I decided to check out one of his shows. My God man, I don't know how anyone can listen to that dude

I've never listened to a single episode of his show.

I listen to him every day. He can go overboard on Israel but besides that I find him informative. He uses pretty good logic to call balls and strikes. When he deals with Trump he is willing to praise him when needed and criticize him when needed. He was too enthusiastic of the vaccine at first but since his company sued the government over mandates I call it a wash. Downvote away.

He sounds like an annoying cartoon character.

Neither Shapiro’s nor Levin’s voice has ever bothered me. I appreciate a unique voice. Also, I enjoy the pace of Shapiro’s speaking. It’s really not difficult at all to keep up.

I have never listened to anyone for 2-3 hours in a day.
I listened to Rush on radio for over 30 years and never once listened to his entire 3 hour show.
I listen to Shapiro for 20 minutes a day about 3 times a week (determined by topic).
The reason is simple...I don't like summarizing or repeating anything. I get it the first time and then move on or I switch to the next show on my list.

The biggest lie in teaching public address is:
a. Tell the audience what you're going to say.
b. Tell them what you have to say.
c. Tell them what you said.

Studies have proven that this approach causes the intelligent human brain to tune you out because you're boring the shite out of them.

I feel the same about a lot of people.

Tucker
Hannity


how could yall huddle around a tv for hours and listen to these people talk?


Rush's voice used to make me feel car sick.


I prefer a shortened version and to the point. Which is why I like tuckers videos now. Never once did i watch a full show of his on fox news.

You people are so freaking bat shite crazy. You agree with 99% of what he says politically. Yet you are so dumb, you still attack him.

Not Levin's problem. He has what in radio we called 'tight chords'. Most people tighten their vocal chords when frightened or excited. Levin's are always tight.

Shapiro does have nasality. It can be fixed with taking a shot of Celestone once a week. But who the hell wants to take a shot every week forever.

I like most of what he does except for the neocon stuff he talks about. I'm for Israel and what they have to do in Gaza, but we don't need to be involved.

He is hard to listen too and he talks way to fast. His logic and arguments are spot on when dealing with social issues and the woke issues. I do like to see him take down college clowns at lectures and his arguments and counters are helpful.

Perfect broadcast for the guys enjoying their extended stay at Club Gitmo.

He’s great in the 4-5 minute clips you catch on YouTube especially the Q&A on campuses. Ditto Matt Walsh.

That said, since Rush died I can’t listen to talk radio anymore. Nobody has the blend of conversation and humor that he had. Hannity just browbeats people and says the same thing over and over. Clay is a better writer than a host. I used to listen to Wilkow every once in a while when I had Sirius for free. Not worth paying for.

Michael Savage called little Ben Shapiro, “Mickey Mouse on Laughing Gas.”

He had the audacity to disagree with Tucker about something, which turned this whole board against him.
