Ben Shapiro Throws Temper Tantrum

A host on the BBC asked Ben Shapiro to back up some of his more controversial opinions. He didn’t like the way it was going and shut the interview down.
Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Francesca Fiorentini, and Dan Evans, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. MORE TYT: tyt.com/trial

"Squirming under questioning about his own controversial statements by the BBC’s Andrew Neil, conservative writer Ben Shapiro got so angry that he walked out of the interview. Shapiro accused Neil - who is a conservative - of trying to make him look bad due to a liberal agenda.
“You purport to be an objective journalist, BBC purports to be an objective, down the middle network,” Shapiro said after Neil asked if the heartbeat abortion bans sweeping the nation are bringing America back to the “dark ages.” “It obviously is not, it never has been. And you as a journalist are proceeding to call one side of the political aisle ignorant, barbaric and sending us back to the dark ages - why don’t you just say you’re on the left.”
Neil runs The Spectator, which also leans to the right.
“You talk about undermining the public discourse,” Shapiro continued toward the end of the interview. “It seems to me that simply going through and finding lone things that sound bad out of context, and then hitting people with them, is a way for you to make a quick buck on BBC off the fact that I’m popular and no one has ever heard of you.”

FYI for anyone outside the UK, Andrew Neil is literally chairman of The Spectator, a conservative magazine. To a Brit, the implication that he is ‘on the left’ shows a degree of ignorance almost unfathomable.

[@WizzKidxKOx]

"The Left" is a scapegoat boogeyman that the Right use instead of "Corrupt, Bad Faith, Identity Politics, Collectivist, Moralist" etc. to smear actually Left positions, like universal health care, financial regulation, etc. Ben should have just called the interviewer obstinate, stubborn, having an agenda, arguing in bad faith, etc. and he would still look like an idiot.

[@jamesasher63]

@Ben But wouldn't it be more of a boring interview if Andrew Neil and Ben Shapiro became an echo chamber for right wing Rhetoric. Andrew Neil is one of Rupert Murdoch's goons and a reactionary. His job, is to argue convincingly and with passion for the alternative view. I.e. Ben Shapiro is opposed to the Liberal Left philosophy and therefore Andrew will play Devils advocate. If he did so unconvincingly then it would be a boring one sided conversation that just served to prop up Ben's ideology. He should have had the strength of character to defend his position rather than accuse him of being on the left, like theres a conspiracy out to get him, get emotionally riled up, freak out then sod off.

[@gndo9145]

@Ben I understand your intentions but it just sounds like you're saying Shapiro didn't do his research. Why take an interview and not know the stance of the person asking the questions? If anything, it speaks worse of American media if he assumed all he'd get were easy softballs. There was only one person in those videos being defensive and combative, and that was Shapiro.

[@joemead5224]

As someone from the UK, conservatism here is a joke and most are just in disguise, especially the Scottish, they're the most lib mong of all, and he obvs does sound part Scottish. This Andrew isn't a knight in golden armour for conservative, far from it. So don't act like he is 🤣

[@brianwilson49]

@@fireandgrace9456 if it's any consolation, I don't believe that the universe "created itself," I don't know how the universe started but it seems, given current evidence, that the universe started with a big bang. Before that, since we can't look that far back, there's no way we can say anything definitive. Meanwhile, your god felt the need to create the laws for owning slaves (Exodus 21), promote incest (Genesis 19:33-36), promote genocide (Genesis 19:23 among others) and promote rape after pillaging (Numbers 31:15-18). None of these things Jesus explicitly condemned. Look up Strawman fallacy for me of you could.

You don't need some old man with a beard to justify existence. I mean this logic makes as much sense as saying "god" always existed. It's silly how we always have to justify existence and have to find purpose in that. I mean we used to think we were the center of the universe and some special snowflake to find we are less than ant's in the cosmic sense. But trying to make a point on what was before the big bang is pointless because we don't have enough data to work with at the moment and it's all just conjecture.

Again, this is what an objective journalist should be- accused of being left by the right, and right by the left, with no prior research to hand.

I’m not sure if you’re an American or not but Shapiro just demonstrated why a large majority of Americans just aren’t taken seriously and while I don’t agree with a lot of the political views Andrew Neil has, I am fully able to say that he just shit all over Shapiro. It also doesn’t help that Shapiro literally lies during the interview about his tweets which are proven to be racist and hateful and yet when he’s confronted by an actual reporter doing their job, he froze......began throwing insults and attempting to stop the interview before suggesting that no one has even heard of Andrew Neil when in fact Shapiro’s own website has an article talking about him loool Shapiro is a cowardly deluded cuck and anyone who takes him seriously is genuinely a joke

[@thekoala8402]

TheFallofTheEleventh he did answer the question, it’s even in this video. Andrew Neil can claim being right wing but he is working for leftist news and pressing in leftist propaganda, especially with the loaded question he gave Ben Shapiro. Ben Shapiro’s comments awhile back are damning, however, this has been brought up many times before and he has deliberately retracted those statements. Also, Ben Shapiro channel isn’t edited by him. It’s edited by the people he’s hired who pretty much have free domain, which is probably why he wouldn’t have known of those “Ben Shapiro Destroys...” videos. The remarks on why “Americans just aren’t taken seriously” illustrates a layer of illusion that Americans are dumb and just listen to people like Ben speak fast. If this is demonstrating illegitimacy of American politics and not false right wing host being paraded out by the BBC, you’re falling for the mainstream media manipulation.

PLUS the Republican lawmakers took out exemptions for Rape and Incest. so . . . this is really just an excuse to use state funds and send an anti-abortion bill through the courts and into the supreme court and overturn Roe v.

I also think the fact that Shapiro has a billionare sugar daddy backing him is a thing that shouldn't be overlooked. On a collage campus with students who have no history yet and come from modest backgrounds they can easily be intimidated by a millionare superstar who could have a lot of influence on someone's career. The power of social hierarchy should never be underestimated and Shapiro often intimidates other people by his hierarchy due to his billionare backers. The BBC though is a very large public broadcasting company and Neil has a solid career and full confidence. So he if anything considers Shapiro to be beneath him and isn't impressed by him in the slightest. There is a culture in the US of looking down on students, especially students who question the status quo and Shapiro really is a mouthpiece for that. To humiliate and intimidate students by faux intellectualism to keep them in line.

Hi, comment from a Brit here. The mistake made by both Shapiro, and to a (far) lesser extent some of your panel, is a misunderstanding of how the BBC works. Their questioning will always be contrarian, as - whilst it of course happens - they don't have the same levels of sycophancy/hatred to politicians we like/dislike. Andrew Neil is indeed centre-right personally, but he doesn't allow that to editorialise his interviews - indeed, he is just as rough to Conservative interviewees as he is to those on the left. That's why he's regarded as one of the very best news interviewers. As such, panellist making claims about 'shrines to Thatcher' is just as misguided as those made by Shapiro. Oh, and he is Scottish by the way!

Honestly, Shapiro sounds like a guy who just graduated from college, learned all these right-wing talking points, and started spouting them off without any real life experience to back anything he says up. Apparently anybody who actually asks him hard questions on his positions, or asks him questions he can't answer, is a leftist.

[@davidcharles7106]

Great job by the BBC host. The thing is Right Wing Dipschitts like Shapiro always attack the questioner instead of answering the question. The trick is to just persist. Ask the question again.....again...….."it's not about me, sir".....then ask it again......exhaust them and then they will lose their cool. What is wrong with just answering the question? "Do you think abortion should be illegal in all cases"....."Yes".....end of answer. If you believe something, why not just answer it? "Yeah, I think women should be thrown in prison.....and the man who got them pregnant? Well, Hell, that could be me - I, sure as hell, don't want him to be punished. Let's just put it all on the women". That is the right wing belief - why don't they just come out and say what their beliefs are?

@@ShitBagSPC Look up how the BBC is funded and see a bit better. This is why there are no adverts/commercials on the BBC for this reason. I am not their biggest fan but 'making a buck' is irrelevant with the BBC in the UK where everyone has to pay TELEVISION LICENCE. Look up Andrew Neil's political background and things like contrarian journalism and educate yourself. They interview everyone that way no matter their political stance. Also not a biggest fan of this approach but Shapiro calling NEIL leftwing is absolutely ignorant and clueless. Look things up. Even Shapiro has conceded that he should've known. You need to look things up too. In this day and age of Googling just about anything, it is obscene to stay this ignorant.

[@carolb1077]

I am not familiar with Shapiro's oeuvre. But, a true debate is defined by rules which ensure both speakers time to express their arguments. Shapiro doesn't so much debate as talks over opponents with petty insults and mischaracterizations. A courteous person cannot even have a conversation with a Ben Shapiro. Sooooo...I think you give him too much credit. I would say he is not a master of debate but rather a master of the straw dog.

[@yellowbeard1]

Kinder Kuchen American style debate is about using rhetorical tricks to try and talk around your opponent, the truth becomes simply one tool in a toolbox and has no inherent value. Academics writing papers that respond to each other is a far better way to get to truth, no verbal time limit and it’s much harder to pull tricks to convince the audience while saying nothing of substance

[@almighty___almighty]

Ben's debate tactics are simple Talk fast and cram as many words into your argument as you can so no one can pick up everything that is said.

[@hannahjoinson1177]

As a left wing Brit, this is both hilarious & uncomfortable! For Andrew Neil to come out of this looking like the hero is very strange- he's the product of decades of BBC policy to sideline Left-wing voices, so he's risen to the top spots in BBC journalism BECAUSE he's very right wing. And he does have the top jobs here- if Ben Shapiro hasn't heard of him then he doesn't know the BBC! Still, Shapiro is further to the right than even the BBC seems to be able to tolerate- such an extreme anti-abortion stance would gain little support in the UK. Far-right wingers like Farage wouldn't dare say anything this extreme in the UK, although we do see some of the things he says in the US where he goes much further. Even MP Rees-Mogg wouldn't go this far on abortion, even though he probably agrees with Shapiro, he'd avoid the question on TV because he'd lose all credibility. In the end, this interview shows up the extreme right-wing so for once I'm with Andre Neil!!
