It's not 2,000. It's about 10. edit: someone said he thinks Shapiro said "two dozen" not 2,000, and listening it to again, that sounds right. It's a little high but it's not that far off.
I like Ben Shapiro and think he's a smart guy usually. I know this sub hates him, so enjoy me shitting on him in this post, I guess. I don't know if he's gotten too busy and can't keep his facts straight sometimes, or has gotten too complacent with his daily show, but once in a while he says clearly dumb, wrong shit where he should clearly know better.
The other day he said Russia needs Crimea to have a "warm water port", which is retarded, since Rostov & Novorossiysk are right next door. And no, while I don't expect Ben to know the details of Russian ports, I do expect him to know the basic geography of the Black Sea and the fact that Russia has a number of other coastal cities/ports on it. Anyway, this kind of thing happens more often than it should, and he ought to have better or more staffers giving him research and fact checking.
Graphic I've seen him link before where he mocked libs for being wildly wrong and thinking that thousands of unarmed blacks were mowed down by the cops every year when the true answer is about 10... and then he did the very thing he mocked the libs for himself today.
Nothing the right hates more than someone on the right who actually accomplishes something. Crab mentality all around.
That’s adorable, is the crab mentality in play for known grifters like Candace Owens, a prominent DW figure? The entire setup of DW is literally the same as Fox. They have their Tuckers, their Hannitys, and their diversity selection.
Do you even know what a crab mentality is?
Is it good or bad that Shapiro built the Daily Wire? I say it's very good. Even if you say it's not perfect, which nothing is, the world is better with the Daily Wire than without it.
Remember when I said this is how you fall on the freedom/security line? It’s objectively bad the DW exists, they are pure neocon at the end of the day, it’s like saying Joe Biden is a good Democrat because he stands for the destruction of Americana but only so him and his kids profit.
Then there's nothing to discuss.
I dislike neocons as much as you do, but it's better to have neocons + good on basically everything else than a media consisting on bad on everything.
I agree, I actually really like knowles. He has some excellent critiques against conservatism, and for a more traditionalist and catholic viewpoint.
I don't agree with everything he says, but I do think he is an effective and useful voice pushing for the right things.
Some of the others? Very meh, but the existence of more slightly right media is a good thing so long as they don't gatekeep or punch right as much as they do left.
How many right wing policies has Shapiro successfully passed or implemented? Chris Rufo did more in 5 minutes emailing Trump about CRT than this midget did with all the money in the Levant.
While that is true generally, Shapiro is still a Neocon grifter. He'd probably have gotten a gig at Fox if they weren't trying to make Bill O'Riley and Sean Hannity the avatars of Conservativism. He probably realized he could just do it himself without being as hamstrung by corporate restrictions.
I don't care if he is, no more than I care that my butcher is a grifter who wants my money.
Presumably your butcher actually delivers unadulterated meat, making him de facto not a grifter.
Simply wanting to make money doesn't automatically make someone a grifter.
