Real Terror, Fake News | The Ben Shapiro Show Ep. 365

[@mugiwaralee9592]

I can't remember who said it and i may not be quoting it accurately but I think this line really rings true nowadays, "Freedom of speech isn't to protect things we want to hear, it's to protect things we don't want to hear."

[@Sebastian-hg3xc]

It was a very interesting experience to hear Ben talk about reality for the first half of the show and then about his fantasy world for the second half - puts everything he says into perspective.

[@1845Raven]

Agreed, Wolf Blitzers suggesting Barcelona is a copycat attack after Charlottesville is totally insane.

[@KawaiiDesu777]

I love you ben, run for president!

[@AntPDC]

+ Godot Dear God, help us in this madness.

[@a.d.9504]

Not at all, he's able to change his mind when necessary, like with the drug war. Present facts and you'll change his mind.

[@7munkee]

He'd serve well on the supreme court. He IS a lawyer.

[@mackermicker2064]

Shapiro 2020!!!!

[@notthensa7846]

Not a joke I would vote for Ben Shapiro president

[@sharsasuke01]

Has Wolf Blitzer never heard of terror attacks with vehicles before Charlottesville? lol

[@zacharycarnahan7917]

"He's a very instinctive knee jerk knife fighter" - lmao

[@mealex1]

I secretly chuckle every time Ben and Steven have a go at each other's mug/tumbler

[@brangodofcelts1727]

I live Near Ripoll, this is a great problem here, Massive Immigrant enclaves and no plan to counter them. Every day, there are problems here. I'm willing to talk to you.

[@loantastic6140]

Why not have a vote on these statues? Each local community can go to their Town Hall and cast a vote on whether or not a Confederate statue should remain standing or be brought down.

[@2bitgirly007]

Loantastic That's exactly what happened with the Lee statue in Charlottesville - the city counsil voted to have it removed.

[@loantastic6140]

yeah, 1 statue was voted on. I'm talking about all of them. Clearly a mob took down the Jackson statue. Wasn't really a professional job.

[@bruceli9094]

If we remove all statues, then how do we learn from the lessons of history?

[@LIBERTYSINCURSION]

"how do we learn from the lessons of history?" - Easy, we relive it.

[@waterbottle300]

Whoever controls the present controls the past. Whoever controls the past controls the future. I got that from George Orwell's '1984'

[@PhilipHarwell]

Ben, you are my new favourite political commentator

[@bile2590]

Ben! the only person who makes sense.

[@derekgornall]

Gratz on 1 year Ben

[@bunzaimeister2613]

In academia, there are actually many people who disagree with "communism is bad" - more than 5%. I think that this is also true of the media, Hollywood and the Democrat politicians, which is why no one is disavowing political violence.

[@HaggardPillockHD]

You know, I watch all these news from the US and think, "boy am I glad that my grandparents opted for the UK instead of the US".

[@teronjames7457]

you're good men...shapiro. a hardcore journalist....never stop doing good to others...RESPECT.......life is for freedom 4 good of mankind

[@jthadcast]

shapiro is a journalist now? the word is pundit.

[@stoleyourcontent640]

Thank you Ben

[@NC-vm6dv]

Ben Shapiro vs Al Sharpton debate!!! I want to see this one day.

[@playeroneirl1886]

Violence is okay as long as its against somebody you politically disagree with. >.>

[@jakelance5786]

One year of the Ben Shapiro Show! Kinda.

[@_avenger9709]

Bring back the monolougue Ben!!! On another note: Shapiro/Gowdy 2020/2024, then Chaffetz/Coulter 2028. Who's with me? And what the actual hell Wolf Biltzer?

[@collinhennessy1521]

Can we as Americans just all agree to stop with these manufactured "national conversations" about symbolic bullshit that nobody even notices, until the corporate media puts it in the spotlight? If we're gonna have "national conversations" they should be about what we can do to put more Americans to work for more money, reduce the amount of people we have in prison, reduce the amount of people on welfare, and eliminate corporate welfare and insurance fraud and abuse.

[@markd9946]

I'm with ya Collin. Way too much distraction. You have a good list of issues and all of them are worthy of serious discussion and reform. Can you just imagine what it would be like to take your solutions and try to convenience the majority. Man, I have a lot of respect for the people who do that.

[@loantastic6140]

Why aren't the Media upset that President Trump didn't explicitly call out Radical Islamic Terrorism in his tweet? Is this another double standard?

[@notthensa7846]

Great Work!!! Ben I am a big fan even if I don't always agree with you I respect your intelligence and your intelligence have a great weekend.

[@Ailurophile1984]

Yep, I peg Ben as an ExTJ. He definitely has a Te-Fi axis. I'm leaning more towards ESTJ because of his incredible memory of facts and tendency to base predictions on the tried and true and past patterns rather than on insightful prophecy

[@2bitgirly007]

Kirk Gao I don't know, I find Ben to be pretty dang insightful. In fact I think he could be the poster child of ENTJs. ;D Definitely true about his superior grasp on the facts though. However I've noticed that there's always a strategy in the way he lays them out, which is why he's so good at "trapping" his opponents in debate. Obviously don't know for sure, but my own INTJ intuition is definitely "tingling" in the direction of ENTJ.

[@thosewhoslaytogetherstayto3412]

Lol, When people are saying how do you jump from Lee to Washington & Jefferson. Well, the left certainly made that jump quick.

[@cnwolford]

Ben, please, please run for president! Shapiro2020!

[@markd9946]

I learned that I'm what ya call an American Nationalist. Not a white, brown, black or any other color Nationalist. An American Nationalist. I like that and I'll wear it proudly .God bless you , AMERICA and President Donald Trump.

[@pvera2u]

Mark Stein is right. If businesses are going to get federal subsidies, then they don't have a say. If they don't get federal subsidies, then that's when the Feds need to leave them alone.

[@jonlauer6754]

Blitzer is such a lowbob. People drove cars into crowds long before Charlottesville.

[@scottv1092]

Wow!! Our complaints about the suggested videos just got removed in 2 mins!! Way to show your hand KZbin!!

[@SixxFold]

Mug Club VS the Leftist Tears tumbler has got to be my favorite pseudo-rivalry on the internet

[@jeffreber3205]

Ben, we need the conservatives to go out to the next rally and confront the white supremacists. Getting that in the national spotlight would be a HUUUUGE plus!

[@CommonGuyChris]

"maybe greater than your newborn child" well played Ben :)

[@jessejive117]

And of course there's a difference between Robert E Lee and George Washington, but if you're going to take down Robert E Lee for fighting for slavery, it really would make sense that a large portion of those people that want George Washington taken down for having 317 slaves... So. I saw this coming and actually for the first time in my life agreed with Donald Trump. I wish she would've explained that though and not expected anyone to know what he meant. For the first time ever he was smarter than most people!

[@alexisjankowski3281]

Jesse Collins I agree. Are they going to put up John Adams statues? He never owned slaves and accomplished just as much. I doubt it.

[@TinyEMonroe]

I love Blinkist! Thanks

[@cperez1000]

Feelings don't care about your facts

[@nickgodi9001]

Hey Ben where can i find your essay you wrote for law school? Im really interested in your topic and how you delivered.

[@patrickthomas2119]

I am interested in what Ben was talking about with Orthodox Jews serving in the military. When I was in the military I knew a guy that was a practicing orthodox Jew; We were both in the Infantry (Marines) however due to the demands of that job it was basically impossible for him to maintain the orthodox practices; so he was removed from what is called a line platoon and moved into the headquarters company. It seems odd to me, as a christian, that the orthodox practices would not make some kind of exception for those practicing orthodox Judaism but also working a needed 'job' that would interfere with those practices.

[@danif4750]

Mihir Kumar You are so right! Ben is letting his feelings override his logic. Its a shame.

[@wingy200]

The segment about the subway tiles reminds me of that Starship Troopers scene where the mom and her kids are smashing cockroaches so they can "do their part" in the war.

[@richardhilliard9247]

If they must be taken down please put them in a museum undamaged.

[@wintersking4290]

The story about Pershing is VERY popular in the US military.

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

Of COURSE Ben is Thinking vs Feeling. #FactsDontCare

[@laurelhill4358]

Sharpton doesn't pay taxes!! And don't forget Tawana Brawley and all the lives he ruined with that lie.

[@josueperugaa3290]

Ben for President!

[@jonlauer6754]

Why criticize Trump for the media not focusing on Barcelona? That is not Trump's fault at all; that's solely the media's fault.

[@darkblood626]

Scientific and social progress has been in spite of religion, not directly because of it.

[@arielkozak]

I wanna give u a hug Ben,

[@glennvastine4118]

Ben dead right on Bannon. It was just announced he's back at the helm of Brietbart. Sadly it's a dying entity and won't have the same impact without guys like Milo and Shapiro around.

[@Firesealr]

I wouldn't exactly call Blinkist an "objective" summary app. It's definitely still filled with opinion when it comes to the ways that they summarize books.

[@bruceli9094]

Am i Alt-right? I l'm an Agnostic who supports Free speech, individual liberty, own responsibility, freedom of religion, limited government, guns, low taxes, separation of church & state, abortion but tax payers should NOT have to fit the bill, strong borders, strong military & controlled immigration.

[@rphakira]

When we treat cancer with radiation or chemo, we don't allow the guy who runs in from the alley to discharge radiation or spray chemicals around without discretion. When violent attackers ambush a peaceful demonstration, it is not comparable to cancer treatment.

[@gysteel6650]

The identity politics cannot be killed by silencing one side and not the other.

[@PotterMarauder]

Ben is totally an ENTJ. No way he's an ESTJ.

[@2bitgirly007]

KimPossible agreed - he could literally be the poster-child for the type. ;D

[@VampyrumFerox]

KimPossible surely you JEST

[@psirenn8049]

I always felt that ben was entp. But I could believe that

[@PotterMarauder]

nick duran no. Milo, for example, is a textbook ENTP. And the difference between he and ben is very obvious haha

[@psirenn8049]

KimPossible Ben is open to debate, he love to it, nd I don't think he can resist an intellectual challenge That fits the entp quite well.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

"Communism is bad" is probably a dicey proposition in most humanities and sociology departments across western academia today.

[@willnonya3806]

I hate the idea that western culture is strictly Christian or roman culture. Has everyone forgotten that the Scandinavian barbarians had a legal systems, banks and even a form of parliament?

[@pdfbrander]

I prefer listening to this at 0.75 speed. Although it makes Ben sound like he's been drinking.

[@jessejive117]

Steven has been destroying your mug on his show Jew bro. Go beat him up. ❤️

[@alexisjankowski3281]

Jesse Collins I love watching Ben's mug plug each episode. I can't wait to see what sort of story he comes up with.

[@slipdiscdiscslip5908]

Hi this is Truman and this is the Truman Show.

[@RFIDeez]

Depending on your child, maybe even greater than that, lol. That must be a good mug.

[@JamesCarmichael]

Fuck sake was having such a good conversation of the other video lol.

[@mr.anonymous8783]

The government should turn off the lights an stop all food transportations . let people fend for their self.

[@dr.thimbleton677]

For some reason my attention span drops way down once the video feed cuts off... I think modern technology has jacked me up D:

[@henryskouby4270]

I agree with you on most of the points about the events that have been going on. For example, I totally agree with you about the bigots, leftists, and Donald Trump. But what i'm having trouble agreeing with you about is the argument of taking down confederate statues, and one in particular, which is why black people should pay for something that commemorates people who fought against their freedom. Now i'm not saying that we should build more statues of them, but for the last 50+ years that they have been around they have not caused any harm to anyone or has costed millions of dollars to maintain. Most, if not all, the statues are pretty easy to maintain. The local governments are the ones paying for the upkeep of the statues. The citizens paying taxes to their towns are okay with the statues, so I don't understand why other people from other states are worrying about the statues. Because i'm not going to New York telling the mayor and citizens of the town that they should take down that stupid statue of the girl standing in front of the bull on Wall Street. Then also, who cares if black people have to pay for the statues, there is a lot of things that I have to pay for in taxes that I necessarily don't agree with. I, nor does anyone else, get to pick and choose what they want to pay taxes for, so why are people using this idea as a reason to take down confederate statues.

[@sebastientumahai9560]

Shapiro for president

[@Yesica1993]

This "EVERYTHING IS RAAAAAAAAAAACIST, LET'S TEAR IT DOWN" idiocy has gotten so out of hand that for the first time in my 40+ years of existence on this planet, I realized I had a bit of fear about walking around with the book I am currently reading. And now with these barbarians going around tearing down statues, I don't think that fear is unfounded. The book, of course, is "Gone With the Wind." It's a childhood favorite and I read it every few years. A few months ago I realized I needed to buy a new copy to replace my old, battered one... and that I'd better do it quickly before leftists ban it and I am never able to find another copy ever again. Again, I don't think that's an unfounded fear. What country do we live in, again?! Seriously, it has become unrecognizable.

[@ryandass15]

You run for president and I will vote for you.

[@NecoDivad]

Best intro ever

[@NecoDivad]

43:50 Almost sure Ben is an ENTJ

[@internetguy4489]

Wow holy fuck Ben just blew my mind about trump...

[@zacharycarnahan7917]

I would vote for you.

[@Entropy825]

Pretty decent pronunciation of Spanish names, Ben. Do you speak Spanish? (At least one of those names was Catalan, but Ben pronounced it with a decent Spanish accent.)

[@KetsaKunta]

ChiaraDental It's a good idea to learn Spanish when you work in the American public sector. I wouldnt be surprised.

[@Hotsaucedeluxe]

I guess this was recorded before the Steve Bannon news. ***EDIT I stand corrected. He talks about Bannon after he goes to audio only

[@marcus4155]

Hotsaucedeluxe if you want there videos up right now of him discussing the topic.

[@saifty3747]

Marcus Jones where can I find those?

[@tammrablaine579]

He's talking about Bannon after the screen goes to the Ben Shapiro show subscribe screen

[@poison5219]

KZbin: get rid of "extremist content" Also KZbin: turn all of Ben S. video suggestions into Disney content because they think Ben S. is very extremist for having a logical, right wing show that openly condemns the far right, neo nazis, the KKK, Trump for being stupid, etc...

[@daam0398]

CANT WAIT FOR TOMORROW'S EPISODE COVERING BANNON

[@ginosmovies]

Blinklist, sounds a lot like Coles Notes, from way back in the day.

[@Warper39]

Sir I realy like you and I'm a tree hugging liberal. Your logic is undeniable, although sometimes I see how is pushed on a side by ideological slogans

[@GrilledPhoenix]

Ben seems like an ENTJ--The Debater.

[@ryandriscoll6956]

i stop watching news for a month and shit hits the fan.

[@pringleeinhorn148]

I do not understand the joke at the end either. The kittens, sea turtles and puppies thing?

[@sharsasuke01]

Anyone ever wonder how that little hat stays on Ben's head?

[@myblighters]

Hey Ben, I have recently been tuning in to several of your debates/segments and find your take on many issues most impressive; you are obviously a smart and well informed guy. You say you support human genetic modification to prevent disabling or life threatening conditions but not as selective genetic engineering. I'm puzzled how you can possibly square that position with your religious belief that god created each individual person, whether perfect or flawed, and how you can justify meddling with his creation. By the way, I'm an atheist and I agree that genetic tampering is justifiable when preventing harm/disability. Interested in your thoughts, cheers.

[@anutaNYC]

Vehicles now are killing devices🤔

[@jasonbasant5624]

Anuta d. Remove all licenses and vehicles from this country. They are objects that provoke violence.

[@anutaNYC]

Does anyone have the answer to the riddle as the end of the mailbag? My answer : um, they're all adorable?

[@collinhennessy1521]

Bannon knows that you can't stump the Trump, or at least he should. Whether through Homer Simpson Savant-type genius, or sheer dumb luck, Trump wins every single public feud, with everyone.

[@josepholiveira2573]

Alright, smart Republicans, I need your help: I literally just got out of a dinner get-together debate/discussion about Republicans and Democrats and it was going decently well for me. I would say I was dominating for the most part because if facts I learn from Ben. Now, the woman I was debating brought up a last point of how out of the 15 least educated states, 14 of them are Republican and if the 20 most educated states, 15 are Democratic. I couldn't reply to this answer and it was quite embarrassing in front of a mainly Liberal/Democratic dinner table. How could I argue against that point.

[@timothymcgoldrick2222]

Ram Castro Just tell them not to confuse the lack of a formal education with the lack of intelligence. A person is not very bright if they find themselves strapped with tens or hundreds of thousands dollars of debt. If all they earned is a degree that will never land them a job. Today's education is merely an indoctrination in the failed theories of the left. Earning a living, learning a trade or starting a business bring with it financial and emotional rewards.

[@markd9946]

Nice reply Timothy. I can contest to that. No collage but I did experience the reward of earning a living by learning several trades and not paying a dime to some Liberal collage. I didn't expose myself to their nonsense, although I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it. Thanks......... Mr. Ram, hang tough and speak the truth. Drives em nuts. Cheers.

[@mastercpa952]

Ram Castro yet the most uneducated neighborhoods (the ghettos) are overwhelmingly democrats. Education background is irrelevant as educated persons debate based on a position's merit, not the makeup of its supporters

[@danif4750]

So I came out as conservative to my gay leftie father in law, it didn't end well. Apparently disagreeing about Obama Care is disrespectful and we haven't talked in a month. He needed to to rest after I called The Washington Post a untrustworthy liberal rag, it's finally seeping into real life..
