To be fair, asking for a source there is good practice, even if done for defensive reasons.
Also, that clip you linked is brutal. From right before the USS Liberty part:
Ahahaha, he's so deep he got it backward.
Strange, Ben, since you've openly said the opposite numerous times, sometimes openly, sometimes implied. And that the reason to support America is because it's good for Israel.
From a Zionist perspective, the whole existence of America, much less if something is good or bad for America, is to assist Israel.
Technically speaking you are correct and I should have sourced my comment. Practically speaking I'm lazy and everyone already knows all about Ben. Trollingly speaking I'm mostly just giving our beloved heeb mascot some shit.
I feel like sourcing that Ben Shapiro doesn’t think the USS Liberty was a big deal is a bit like sourcing that President Trump wants to build a wall.
It's good to source all of your information, but we're up against censorious manipulative liars, who will quash all dissent and contrary information. Even archiving websites sometimes doesn't work, as they're removed for wrongthink.
And, when debating someone who is acting in bad faith, they use "source?!" as a cudgel and deflection, forcing you to jump through and endless parade of hoops, and adhering to the most stringent of rules, that they never, ever apply to their own position. Even when the things you're stating are plainly obvious truths and simple logic, they're decry "SOURCE?!", not as a means to truth, but with malicious intent. When debating such a person, you could cite every single claim you make a hundred fold, they would reject all of it, and proudly declare themselves the winner.
