Ben is obviously highly intelligent, but what's probably more impressive is his willingness to simply say "I don't know" when he's faced with a question that he's unsure of the answer.

[@edwardharley9]

Agreed.. it is a amazingly rare quality.... and one that should be emulated.

[@rotem-shmueli]

It's obviously better than the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez approach which is basically saying nonsense and then when asked to elaborate just say "Oh, actually I'm not an expert!"

[@jimbrooks3370]

In my opinion, the willingness to answer a question with "I don't know", is a sign of intelligence. Only an idiot believes that he knows everything.

[@mattmurdock8678]

If Ben Shapiro says Bernie Sanders and Justin Trudeau are the same this dude has no idea what he’s talking about. I can’t believe he said that could you post the time stamp. If he really did say that wow

[@mattmurdock8678]

Nima Bernie Sanders is very progressive Justin Trudeau is not. Justin Trudeau should be compared to Obama more here’s why. He supports the pipeline, gives out corporate tax cuts and welfare, continues to arm Saudi Arabia, is for free trade deals, his carbon tax does not go after the biggest polluters and still has not done much for free college or universal pharmacare. Justin Trudeau is like I said a Obama. He is centre right and Bernie Sanders should be compared with Canada’s NDP party not the liberals. There’s a lot more but that’s just the stuff I remembered off the top of my head.

[@LMBC63]

Matt Murdoch - the time stamp is 1:22:18 As to the other reply saying that Liberals can more be compared to Obama - Ben's comparison was to the man not the party. Having said that I do believe that as time passes the the difference between Liberals and NDP are less and less distinguishable.

[@mattmurdock8678]

Nima ok but none of that is policy. I could care less about what they say. When looking at these people it’s important to look at how they govern because that’s what their job is. I can almost guarantee that Trudeau says those things to get media attention and it works. Instead of covering actual policy they constantly cover how he said peoplekind or whatever other silly thing he does. That way Mr. Progressive is able to pass right wing policy and still look good to his base.

[@mattmurdock8678]

lmbc well he’s head of the party and if right wing policy’s keep passing under him he is not a “handsome Bernie Sanders” because Bernie Sanders would not do that.

[@IlDeimos]

Gerry Lee Do you know how an Amendment is removed? First, no one can remove a god given right in the U.S., the president of the united states cant even remove a right. Because our rights were not given to us by the government. The only way to remove an Amendment, is by a 75% majority rule by BOTH political parties, the right and the left. And thats just to put it through the process. Many many times the demacrats tried to alter or remove the first and 2nd amendments, but they never could, because they never could get it passed that first stage of voting. Thats why you barely see the gun control debate on liberal media networks anymore, because they know its a loosing subject for them, it always was. Claudie LeBeau - In a court of law, yes free speech is protected. No one can take you to court for bad mouthing someone, and you cannot be arrested for it either. However, if you say "Im going to kill you", thats not speech, thats a threat and a call to action. But yes, free speech is protected in the US, even in a court of law. And if you have proof that your rights are being violated, that is very serious federal crime.

I'm a gay man in the UK and I can find nothing with which to disagree in Ben's analysis of sexual/gender orientation. There are indeed two genders, one has a willy and the other does not, it's quite simple. Whatever factors are involved with gender confusion, they cannot be treated by having the rest of society pander to the whims of immature, insecure morons. I have children and grandchildren and all I want for them is the best possible. Neither of my children have homosexual tendencies and my grandsons are too young to be concerned about such things. If one (or both) grew up with such tendencies or even some form of gender identity conflict, they would continue to get 100% of my love and support. As Ben says, stating the facts has nothing to do with trying to be mean to others, they are simply facts and this propensity to mollycoddle people into a false sense of identity or entitlement is dangerous, not only to them but to the rest of society. So far as Ben's stance on gay marriage or relationships is concerned, that's his prerogative and I don't plan to lose any sleep over such things - he is perfectly entitled to his view, just as I, and everyone else is - that's what freedom of speech is all about and on that subject I agree 100% with Ben.

I know that being gay was not a conscious choice and that no amount of denial would make it go away but the only real danger is external in that it is what others think and feel that have a serious impact - at least in the early days - so there is enormous pressure to conform. Now that people are minding their own business and not making out of hand assessments based on sexual preferences, the landscape for 'acceptance' is much clearer. My concern for transgenders is that many appear to be self-destructive, wanting to have pieces of their body removed, or additional parts added. There comes a point where this might be the only course of action for the individual and I wholeheartedly support them in that informed decision but again wonder how much of that decision is based on non-acceptance by society - are they being pushed into rash actions rather than being allowed the space and time to consider their options? There is an increasing trend to force vulnerable children into the confused state that leads to those with gender identity problems to consider taking their own lives and I cannot understand why a parent would wish that on their children. If, by their own processes, one of my grandsons (or both) came to determine that they were gay or perhaps felt trapped in the wrong body, I would be accepting of that but would not go out of my way to nurture it. My daughter wanted to be Scooby-Doo when she was little, then a ballerina, then a wide range of other things which caught her fancy along the way, the same was true of my son. They, being twins raised together, had ample opportunity to play with each others toys - as they often did, but they each gravitated to the things which interested them personally but I never once told them what they should or should not be interested in. May daughter has a friend from college who now identifies as a man. My best friend has a daughter who became, in her own time, to acknowledge that she is a lesbian. You see, I come from a mixed background where gender and orientation have come about as a natural process. I have no idea if my daughter's friend has undergone surgery and I would not ask but I call her 'Adam' as that is her chosen name. I would not ask whether she had undergone surgery and if, by any chance, she were to ask my advice on it I would caution her to be very certain before going ahead. As I say, I am concerned where children are expected to make life-altering decisions about their sexuality or their gender at a point in their life when they are unable to deal with such things. The fact is that there are only two biological sexes or genders or whatever other word is used - in binary terms you are either a one or a zero and while you may alter and adjust, through chemical intervention, the outward appearance of the one or zero, they will revert when such interventions are removed. We now have the prospect of 'gender fluid' which is the most inane concept imaginable. Something in a state of fluidity can be seen as constantly changing, this is simply not possible yet society is expected to honour that fluidity with an every growing range of pronouns which are nonsensical and, in many cases, offensive - I have no intention of calling anyone 'it'. If a person presents me with their chosen name - whether it fits their apparent gender or not, I will be more than happy to call a female 'Adam' or a male 'Eve' but I will not bend to the suggestion that the fluid river of their gender is such that you much fish for the appropriate pronoun and then be berated for getting it wrong. The case for nature over nurture is difficult to answer but your suggestion that my being gay is a product of my environment cannot be ignored although I can't identify anything in my life to suggest that I was influenced in any way. As I say, my concern is not that there are transgender people in society although I empathise with those who have been treated so poorly that they wish to end their lives and I wholeheartedly support their decision to take whatever steps make their lives worth living. I do not however, feel it is appropriate for parents to coach their children in such a way as to force them to explore something which may never have crossed their mind and then to rush immediately into surgical interventions before the child has had time to really get to grips with what is being suggested to them. I raised my children as a single parent so my influence was there all the time but I was not a 'gay' parent, I was simply a father, a role which I thoroughly enjoyed and miss now that my kids have grown. They are both heterosexual but also kind and loving to everyone, they accept people for who they are and by their actions - kind people are welcome, unkind people are not, it's that simple. Parents should teach acceptance of others so that children can go into society with an open mind, without preconceptions and without bigoted views and outlooks towards other people based on colour, ethnicity, race, creed, gender, age or sexual orientation. Perhaps in this way, we can build a society where everyone can feel comfortable in their own skin and not feel obligated to rush into making decisions by cruelty and bigotry.

[@kevinklassen4328]

@@DiogeneseAssociates I agree with most of your concerns. Don't want kids doing life-altering surgeries early, or being convinced if they are effeminate or a tomboy that they must be the opposite gender etc etc. That said there are legitimate people who are born appearing one sex but feeling they are the opposite sex, and that feeling is generally not 'fluid' in the same way that sexual preference is quite permanent. Lastly, there's only two genders male and female, but there are certainly people who may not have a strong identification with one or the other. It's narrow-minded thinking to assume that gender is black-and-white. Just the same way as there are many strongly gay or straight people but also many bisexual people. It's a spectrum. I don't agree with there being 30 pronouns though, it should be either you're a man, a woman, or you're not sure.

[@DiogeneseAssociates]

@@kevinklassen4328 Taken from a biological standpoint, gender is, in fact, black-and-white but that has nothing to do with how people feel and how they develop ways in which to deal with that. Part of the problem is that both concepts are being mixed together to push an agenda which is neither real nor acceptable because it leads to the notion that indoctrination is permissible, which it is not. As for the fluidity I mention, this is not the same as being uncertain from one day to the next, feeling anxious about how one feels and going through the whole spectrum of self-loathing, denial and arriving at a point where a path has to be taken. I cannot, and will not, prescribe to the silly notion that someone identifies as non-binary or gender-fluid, especially as the rest of society are expected to understand something which is incomprehensible. If some is 'non binary' then what are they, can they tell us or is it simply a way of getting attention? If an individual can arbitrarily 'identify' as something they clearly are not (such as an adult male who identifies as a 6-year-old girl but still drives a tractor) then the whole notion becomes idiotic and actually undermines the genuine situations where someone is struggling with an identify crises and all it entails. We are creating a society which abhors facts and seeks to cater to whim and fancy under penalty of some form of backlash. Such nonsense is actually undoing much of the hard work and achievements of the LGBT community (now apparently LGBTQ+) members of which have suffered appalling discrimination over the years to reach the point of public acceptance only to find the agenda now hijacked for something which has an agenda which appears to me to be other than acceptance. Can it really be that there is such a global epidemic of people claiming gender confusion - all at one and the same time? Or is it more likely that something else is behind the wave of nonsense? Many in the LGBT community are experiencing anxiety and stepping back into the shadows because the ground gained in simply being accepted by society has been overtaken by this epidemic, they are reliving the old fears because of the backlash caused by this situation. Alongside this, we have imported a very dangerous ideology into our society which believes that homosexuality should be illegal and, in the country of origin, men and women who are found to be gay are being thrown from the top of buildings to their death. The reality for gay men and women in western society is that they are once more living in fear - this cannot be right.

[@kevinklassen4328]

I sympathize for your situation of being lumped in with a crazy far left agenda. However, gender is by no means black-and-white. As someone who studied behavioral neurosciences for 4 years prior to medical school, I will have to tell you that you're dead wrong on that. If you're referring to sex, that is also not completely black and white. The actual development of gender identity is strongly biological and for 99% of people it aligns quite strongly with their external development (and chromosomal sex). Not everyone is as lucky, and for about 0.5 to 1% of the population there are various issues in fetal development that cause this to go haywire. That usually means identifying as the opposite gender, though to be honest when it comes to people who are gender confused, I haven't studied that in a lot of detail to know its validity, but certainly it has biologic plausibility that some people may end up not strongly identifying as either male or female. It's certainly biologically similar to bisexual people who have attraction to both sexes instead of ending up strongly heterosexual or homosexual. As to the more recent movements in the past 5-10 years, I do have concerns that a lot of people are getting falsely identified as transgendered or gender fluid etc. who are not, but there's no question that a lot of people are legitimately and biologically have brains that align with the opposite sex. If you're interested in learning more I can refer you to the scientific research on the topic.

[@DiogeneseAssociates]

@@kevinklassen4328 I can only bow to your superior knowledge having not studies the intricacies as you have. Perhaps then it is a matter of labels and of interpretation of those labels. When a fetus develops into one of two 'genders' what would be the most appropriate term for the result? I have been saying gender because that is what I have become used to saying - hence the binary male and female 'labels' - one has external and the other external genitalia; what would be the most appropriate label for this? We have the word, sex, which can refer to the act of intercourse or the gender of any creature. In all aspects, these terms do refer to a binary result in which specific chromosome pairs are in use. Again, what do you feel would the most appropriate term? It would be helpful if everyone agreed on such terminology and I think there is a clear delineation required between the physical and the psychological states because this is where the trouble begins. I wholeheartedly agree that there is often a difference between how an individual presents physically and mentally and a differential is the cause of the identity crisis we know exist. Personally, I believe there is a world of difference between someone who experiences this differential from birth and they certainly fit into the category of misalignment you mention and the middle-aged father of three who suddenly identifies as a six-year-old girl because he finds the pressures of life to great to handle. As part of the local over 50 LGBT support group, I regularly meet and offer support to gay men and women and this includes transgender individuals and what I can say with certainty is that such individuals are a far cry from those men we see on social media who wear age inappropriate clothing, makeup over a five-o-clock shadow and slingbacks who, when called 'sir' rather than 'madam' proceed to smash up a shop premises because they were 'misgendered'. This applies equally to the arrogant students who claim non-binary status while protesting but upon arrest for violent behaviour present themselves as their true self in order to gain leniency from the court for being a 'female'. As I already mentioned, I will happily call anyone by any name they chose, but I will not bend to the will of an agenda which seeks to persecute those who get the pronoun wrong. This does nothing whatsoever to further the cause for acceptance and tolerance by those in the transgender community who are genuinely battling with identity crisis. While I'm sure the research is fascinating, I am more than content to be having this dialogue with someone who is as willing to engage in an exchange of ideas, or indeed to reach agreement and, in my case, to absorb the result of metered study. If everyone could agree on specific and acceptable terminology to use, perhaps the entire debate could be more convivial and productive, while ultimately leading to greater acceptance and less intolerance of those with genuine identity issues and put to rest, once and for all, the hysterical hijacking that is taking place.

Typical liberal jerk who has an opinion about everyone who doesn’t think like you....Thank God because you sound like a Muslim who lives to imprison women and would probably try to get sharia laws passed over here in the USA. There are plenty of jobs in the military that females are capable of. I am the furthest thing from a modern day feminist but you’re pathetic depiction of my life leads me to believe you have self esteem issues and can’t handle a strong dependent and conservative woman who knows the difference between men and women. I am the furthest thing from a butch or lesbian and you’re nothing but a bigoted POS. My ex and I have shared custody and we made an arrangement for our 2 older boys to go live with him as they entered their teenage years. He is nothing like you depicted either. My boys have a wonderful relationship with their father and myself. And He is more of a man than you could ever hope to be. Go put your wife beater shirt on and mind your own business.

bademoxy you’re an idiot 😂 this gave me a good laugh tho. Sorry you’re threatened by a woman who serves our country. Not everyone leave a marriage bc of divorce. People change and go in suddenly directions with their lives. Being in the military does not mean you cheat. She also said that she joined after they were divorced. Quite an imagination you have. Is that what you’re wife did to you? I’m sure she left bc you tried to force her into the kitchen and wouldn’t let her live her life. She needed a real man who wasn’t insecure. You seem to be projecting.

Thank you for your service!

I love smoking a joint, then sitting down for a great Lecture from Ben!! This is one man I'd love to shake his hand!!

[@kennethedwards3936]

The fact a brilliant person must spend an hour stating common sence facts says it all. A shocking time to live for an intelligent person over 25 . 1984 was 30 years late .

Kenneth Edwards Ummm, Did you not see how you spelt ‘sense’ in your comment about intelligent people?

[@eros_vision7742]

C Hartnett shut up, how are you to say how smart someone is just because the spelt something wrong?? What if it was an accident

Rebecca It’s very easy Rebecca, for instance, I know you are an uneducated twat by reading your comment. - ‘how’ as you wrote it, should be ‘who’. - ‘the’ should be ‘they’. -Your last sentence should end with a question mark or exclamation mark depending on your point. Anyway, I hope this answers your comment, and shows you how stupid and uneducated you are darling.

[@eros_vision7742]

C Hartnett XD I have long nails rn so it’s hard to type, and I know how to spell it’s just I was texting fast too so XD fuck off bitch~~ ☺️☺️

[@eros_vision7742]

C Hartnett and I am not uneducated and stupid just because I was having a hard time typing on a small ass phone, stop assuming shit, you don’t fucking know me so stfu XD

Would you consider speaking here? Your a legend mate. 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ❤ from 🇦🇺.

[@barrysmith672]

I wonder if it would cause more drama and controversy then when milo spoke.

[@F.Krueger-cs4vk]

@@barrysmith672 Government stopped Milo from visiting couple weeks ago. More than likley do the same with Ben. Both sides politics here left wing socialist neocons.

[@justplainbrad7713]

@@barrysmith672 In the name of all thing senseable, don't mention a brain-dead moron, in the same breath, as one of the most intelligent people, in the world today. milo is a british joke, with the intellect of a flea, and the manners of a rutting swine. The guy is a blithering idiot, with the IQ of porridge. If drama, and controversy, are what you get from milo, then, you are a sad, uneducated, unfulfilled child, that needs, more education, and, about 15-20 more years, of life experience, then, you will not think, he is so impressive. Ben Shapiro, is past the budding stage, and is nearly matured, at the level of genius; whereas milo, is also, past the budding stage, and is a full blown cretin. Grow up child, and avoid these dead end people, that will not help you, in any aspect of life. Following them, will only keep you stupid.
