Dear Adrienne--thank you for your life-giving comment! My son was born in a war zone & came to our home at age two. At age 43 he became disabled as a result of contracting polio in his infancy. But he's the one who lifts up our entire family! (I also have 2 biological children & all 3 are very close.) His sister & brother both want to care for him when I am no longer able to. He's not a burden because of his great heart of love. Norma M

I used to not even try to listen to this guy before cause, the media picture him as a horrible person, after actually starting to listen to what he has to say, I have to admit I agree with a lot of his points, this is why we have to listen to others sometimes. We need to stop been puppies for the media and actually fight for this country as a whole.
My sister raised her children in a low economical area as a single mom. Her son received the highest score SATs and became a medical scientist. Her daughter is an engineer. Parents are responsible for guiding their children, not the government.
At a certain point, it becomes that child's responsibility of guiding their own life. Yes. Up until a certain point it is definitely a parents responsibility. But, a lot of people go wrong with this. For example, you'll have grown adults at 18 years old make a decision to do something. And based on whether or not that decision is viewed as good or bad, we'll assign a reason behind why they chose that decision. And a lot of people will end up saying things along the lines of "their parents failed them" or "their parents raised them right". When, in reality, at a certain point, people make decisions regardless of however they were raised. That's why you see a lot of kids who grow up in church leave from it. Because they make their own decisions about what they wanna do when they get to a certain age. Some people grow up in terrible households, where they've had no guidance whatsoever. Yet they end up being productive members of society. And the opposite happens just as often

I don’t know how well Ben would actually do as a president, because he is more knowledgeable about commentary on politics than actually the nitty gritty of what the president actually has to do, especially to do with international relations. In fact it’s for these very reasons I don’t think he will run because he recognizes he has shortcomings that he himself would prefer a president to have, so it’s just not fair for a someone to run for president when they wouldn’t vote for themself.

He is so correct. I was a single mother struggling for yrs, however, I did graduate, I did work and eventually married...guess what?! Im not poor, I actually live a middle class lifestyle.
can you be my sugar momma? sorry, the question was begging to be asked, i'm just kidding i don't need a sugar momma (although a really rich one would be pretty cool and i wouldn't be opposed to it!) but i don't need one exactly because of what you said - when i was 21 i was addicted to opioids, i was broke, i used up the little credit i had for drugs and never paid it off so i was in a few grand of debt that i wasn't paying anything on, my credit score was shot, i lost my job for being an idiot and had no income, on top of that i had a drug habit that cost $150 a day that went down to $50 to 100 a day only because i used everything up and did not have $150 a day any more so it cost everything i could come up with (family helped pay because they saw how sick i was without the drugs and because i played up the pain that doctors originally prescribed the pain killers for (the pain that went away two years earlier but that i kept complaining about to have something to blame my continued drug abuse on.) no income, drug addicted, penniless and in debt, irresponsible, and a coward... now i'm 30 years old and i'm still exactly like i was at 21 years old, i'm just an older scumbag. just kidding, i'm now 30 and have been clean and sober since i was 24 years old and almost have 6 years of continuous sobriety. i have a good job, paid off my debts just over 3 years ago, started investing a little bit every week, i can buy my mom nice things often even on my $55k a year take home salary that is only possible because i work very hard and am responsible and dependable. my parents are proud of me but most importantly i'm proud of myself. a lot of the people i grew up with who i used to do drugs with are either still drug addicted, dead, and/or in and out of jail. my best friend in the world of 25 years is also clean (he got clean a coupe of years before me and only stuck around because he knew i was the type who would work hard to better myself and ended up doing so.) the difference between the two of us and the rest of the people i grew up with who are still in that life is simple - we were raised with a sense of responsibility and right and wrong and knew what we were doing was wrong, we took responsibility for our actions and took the difficult steps to face reality and fix what we broke while the others blamed everything and everyone but themselves - they blamed society, their parents (who were all great people and gave them everything they needed growing up, making sacrifices so they could have things they did not themselves, just like my parents did,) they blamed their drug dealers, they blamed politicians (they voted democrat just like everyone else who fails to take responsibility for themselves and looks to government to fix their problems and can't think critically) and the proof is in the pudding - my best friend and i have great jobs and are doing very well for ourselves and are currently making more money and benefits and have far better career outlooks than even those from my graduating class who went to college and got degrees. to everyone who works hard to improve their situation my hat is off to you, it seems we're a shrinking portion of the population in this country these days as time goes on and it 's very sad to see. maybe it's because my best friend and i did wrestling growing up and had a great coach who never lied to us so we never grew up with this false idea that everyone is a winner no matter what you do and that you have to work very hard for anything you want in life and nobody is special, the only difference between someone who does well at something and someone who fails miserably is almost always the amount of work they put into it and the amount of responsibility they're willing to take for their own success.
@@tjsullivan5046 It's very sad. Then again, the last civil war was inspired HEAVILY by the refusal of people to accept that slavery is a human rights violation and not a matter of states rights... human's are capable of saddening levels of circular reasoning to support whatever premise benefits them financially or emotionally.
I grew up in a single parent household. My mother raised 4 children by herself. We had our chores. I was taught personal responsibility and to look in the mirror. I never felt I was a victim. Self improvements was based on my efforts. As a nation, we need to help one another. However, your own efforts is the key to your success.
I’m a 40 year old retired from the ARMY, my wife is a 38 year old school teacher. We’re not able to reproduce due to a medical condition on my end. We adopted a baby two years ago that was a baby that the biological mother had intended to abort. God had other plans as my wife and I ran into to my sons biological mother whom was 19 years old and homeless and jobless. After talking with her about her pregnancy she told us she was planning to abort her baby. It took some time explaining how we viewed the topic of abortion and her situation. We gave her a job on our farm feeding and watering our cows, goats, chickens and ducks and even our dogs if we were out of town. After 3 months we actually let her move into our RV and by 6 months we decided that she could stay in our fully finished basement with all appliances. The time came where she was near time to to deliver her baby and the most amazing thing happened. We had already told her about us thinking about adopting a baby at this point. She said that she would love to have us adopt her baby and we were just overjoyed. My son is now 2 years old and he’s happy and healthy and his birth mother is now employed and no longer living in our basement but rather in her own apartment. My wife and I are both white Americans and the birth mother is mixed race black and white and the father is black as well. I have to say that my son is the best thing that ever happened to us. Life is amazing and should be cherished and celebrated. I can’t imagine my life without him here
Daryl Rocks Well, I don’t think accepting his word as the end all be all is smart. The reason I agree with Mr. Shapiro is because he speaks reasonably and logically. But he’s human. I think increasing critical thinking on all fronts is a good thing. Just something to think about (this is not an attack). I hope you have a good day
Also a new fan here. I'm probably in the center, not really left or right. On some subjects I agree with Shapiro, on other subjects I don't. But I rather have someone who knows what he's talking about than some fuckwit who's screaming random things...

@@back_to_the_couch What the fuck kind of response is that? That's so unbelievably rude and also extremely racist, you're not only referring to this person as "your people" but you're also dictating what this individual should be doing with their time. The last I checked, social platforms such as this and Facebook were created on the goal to facilitate more discourse, but in a faster and more accessible way using the internet. How about you let them decide if they're going to prioritize the supposed issues you stated, which by the way may very well be true seeing that I don't even know who you're referring to when you said "your people" in the comment. I don't know about you, but I can't tell the specific country from which this person originates based on their profile picture or their channel name. I'm assuming you went onto their channel to find out what race they were, then came back here and tried to push your agenda on them. And to you @Elliott Park I would say, as an aspiring American I wish you the best of luck and I'm happy to see foreign people taking an interest in American politics.
Hey Elliot Park . Thank you for wanting to be part of this great experiment known as the United States. Yeah that one comment was rude but we got to have a thick skin because free speech can be offensive. We can't have meaningful discussions or debates if when someone is offended it gets shut down. The reason there is an amendment protecting free speech is because not everyone will agree with what everyone is saying. If we all agreed on everything said we would not need a free speech amendment. Seriously why would we need a free speech amendment if there was no dissenting opinions? I feel you're wanting to come here legally because you said you want to become an American. I think you are sending a positive message that you want to have freedoms that you either don't have or never will have in your country. I think it takes a lot to leave your native country. The desire to be free I would think is an extremely strong draw to go where you can obtain the freedom for you and your family to thrive.

I may not agree with you on all your points Shapiro, but I appreciate your willingness to hear others and respect them as individuals for attending the discussion. Bravo Ben.

My niece went to a public school in a less than middle class neighborhood. She has four STEM discipline degrees, two BS, a masters and Ph.D. She chose that route because our family is weirdly good at maths. I have never heard her complain about being a woman in science, she is NASA climate scientist, and a lovely person.
My favorite line of his entire speech was: "If you're a smart person starting from the wrong principals you can reason your way into virtually anything" regarding leftists who are smart.
I appreciated the young man in the red cap and his statement that he was treated well by MAGA people, and he was able to have dialogue and harmony with them. That's how it should be. We want this country to be great and include everyone, and it takes everyone to put selfish differences aside, and be decent to one another. Thank you Ben for your time and efforts to open hearts and minds, Godspeed.
So cool to see Ben call out the alt right as being just as deplorable as the hard left. Extremism on either side is insane. He also nailed it by saying we should treat everyone as an individual which allows civil discourse and not lump everyone under a group identity. Thank you Ben, for pointing out the big difference between liberals and extreme left wing sjws! Epic speech. 👍
As much as I agree with Shapiro, it's funny that everyone goes "Think of everyone as individuals" still points to entire political parties as being one entitiy.
YES! of course there are radicals on each side or the term wouldn't exist. That's alse why seeing white people being so damaging to their race and Christians being so toxic to their religion makes me mad because not all white Christian people are complete jerks. Some of us are amazing, compassionate people who do, in fact, know how to treat EVERYONE with respect, even if we disagree with their lifestyle.
Thankyou! Well said I agree 100%! Ben Shapiro is amazing because he is against the alt right as much as he is against the far left not like some other Republicans who just dont say anything against the far right extremists

I'm American of Mexican descent. I'm fourth generation American born on my mother's side and second generation born on my father's side. My grandparents were church ministers for many years, my father is a church minister and I now have a master's in Biblical studies and theology. The first generations to come were all hard workers and instilled this into my parents. My siblings and I were given the tools we needed to navigate through life. We were taught morals,manners and the importance of the family unit and education. I love America and I love God. My father has always instructed us to love God, and our neighbors as ourselves. He also always taught us to love this great country. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. God bless this great country.

All kids whether poor, middle class or rich can go to college & become anything they want. Tired of hearing about kids being brainwashed thinking that their being discriminated against. This country is for all races, not just one.
yeah, no, maybe in a democratic socialist country, with an education system modelled on the one we used to have. uc berkeley used to be free. but yeah, as long as you have good credit you can get some loans, no excuses. like ben said, a lot of public schools are garbage and people don't have the same chance to get into the same colleges. like the town next to berkeley is an example of rich people screwing poor people out of good schools. in the middle of oakland is piedmont, a millionaire tax haven, where they have every ap class, etc. those kids have a better chance of getting into berkeley than oakland students did ten years ago. that was new jim crowe. also in california, the worse the school performs on testing, the less funding it got. so one rich people and bad policy both contribute. obviously corruption plays a part, and we have to keep working towards that ideal. the funny part is you hold a 'social democratic' ideal: more ironically, in latin, a social democracy is a republic, or "res publica" (commonwealth/public things).
I didn't really agree with that. I'd think it'd be limited how smart a person could actually be, if they built up an entire world view on foundational principles, that are either proven to be bad/wrong or are logical fallacies. Obviously even smart people start from a wrong place here and there, otherwise how would they find out if it was wrong or not? But I don't see how a smart person could get to the POINT of having built up a whole ideology, without ever having evaluated the principles it's based on. On top of that, I'd also think a smart person would have their premises on things that they KNEW to be true, not things they WANTED to be true. In order to "reason your way" into things in the context Ben put it, you would have to start with a conclusion and search for facts and reasonings to fit the conclusion, rather than the other way around, so... what kind of "smart" would this hypothetical person be...? Certainly not logically intelligent, surely.
I lived next to Berkeley Campus when he came and there were riots in the streets. I was a liberal and thought "what kind of POS was causing all this commotion?". A couple years later I watched this speech and became a huge fan of Ben Shapiro.
I listen to Ben Shapiro and all the members of the Daily Wire at least once if not twice everyday.. I need to hear sanity in this insane American world.

can you be my sugar momma? sorry, the question was begging to be asked, i'm just kidding i don't need a sugar momma (although a really rich one would be pretty cool and i wouldn't be opposed to it!) but i don't need one exactly because of what you said - when i was 21 i was addicted to opioids, i was broke, i used up the little credit i had for drugs and never paid it off so i was in a few grand of debt that i wasn't paying anything on, my credit score was shot, i lost my job for being an idiot and had no income, on top of that i had a drug habit that cost $150 a day that went down to $50 to 100 a day only because i used everything up and did not have $150 a day any more so it cost everything i could come up with (family helped pay because they saw how sick i was without the drugs and because i played up the pain that doctors originally prescribed the pain killers for (the pain that went away two years earlier but that i kept complaining about to have something to blame my continued drug abuse on.) no income, drug addicted, penniless and in debt, irresponsible, and a coward... now i'm 30 years old and i'm still exactly like i was at 21 years old, i'm just an older scumbag. just kidding, i'm now 30 and have been clean and sober since i was 24 years old and almost have 6 years of continuous sobriety. i have a good job, paid off my debts just over 3 years ago, started investing a little bit every week, i can buy my mom nice things often even on my $55k a year take home salary that is only possible because i work very hard and am responsible and dependable. my parents are proud of me but most importantly i'm proud of myself. a lot of the people i grew up with who i used to do drugs with are either still drug addicted, dead, and/or in and out of jail. my best friend in the world of 25 years is also clean (he got clean a coupe of years before me and only stuck around because he knew i was the type who would work hard to better myself and ended up doing so.) the difference between the two of us and the rest of the people i grew up with who are still in that life is simple - we were raised with a sense of responsibility and right and wrong and knew what we were doing was wrong, we took responsibility for our actions and took the difficult steps to face reality and fix what we broke while the others blamed everything and everyone but themselves - they blamed society, their parents (who were all great people and gave them everything they needed growing up, making sacrifices so they could have things they did not themselves, just like my parents did,) they blamed their drug dealers, they blamed politicians (they voted democrat just like everyone else who fails to take responsibility for themselves and looks to government to fix their problems and can't think critically) and the proof is in the pudding - my best friend and i have great jobs and are doing very well for ourselves and are currently making more money and benefits and have far better career outlooks than even those from my graduating class who went to college and got degrees. to everyone who works hard to improve their situation my hat is off to you, it seems we're a shrinking portion of the population in this country these days as time goes on and it 's very sad to see. maybe it's because my best friend and i did wrestling growing up and had a great coach who never lied to us so we never grew up with this false idea that everyone is a winner no matter what you do and that you have to work very hard for anything you want in life and nobody is special, the only difference between someone who does well at something and someone who fails miserably is almost always the amount of work they put into it and the amount of responsibility they're willing to take for their own success.
Opportunity was there and you Capitalized on it. You should feel good every day about the choice you made. 👍
Ben Shapiro would seriously be the best president this country has seen in a while. I hope to god he runs for presidency.
He probably would be good At the job, but he would inflame the left so aggressively that we'd have a new Civil War.
He'd likely be the best the country has ever had.
Stan Leery yea but we’ll have a civil war over the stupidity of the people. It’s sad
@@tjsullivan5046 It's very sad. Then again, the last civil war was inspired HEAVILY by the refusal of people to accept that slavery is a human rights violation and not a matter of states rights... human's are capable of saddening levels of circular reasoning to support whatever premise benefits them financially or emotionally.
@@kaufmanat1 remember leftists don't have guns. they hate them.
I grew up in a single parent household. My mother raised 4 children by herself. We had our chores. I was taught personal responsibility and to look in the mirror. I never felt I was a victim. Self improvements was based on my efforts. As a nation, we need to help one another. However, your own efforts is the key to your success.
I’m a 40 year old retired from the ARMY, my wife is a 38 year old school teacher. We’re not able to reproduce due to a medical condition on my end. We adopted a baby two years ago that was a baby that the biological mother had intended to abort. God had other plans as my wife and I ran into to my sons biological mother whom was 19 years old and homeless and jobless. After talking with her about her pregnancy she told us she was planning to abort her baby. It took some time explaining how we viewed the topic of abortion and her situation. We gave her a job on our farm feeding and watering our cows, goats, chickens and ducks and even our dogs if we were out of town. After 3 months we actually let her move into our RV and by 6 months we decided that she could stay in our fully finished basement with all appliances. The time came where she was near time to to deliver her baby and the most amazing thing happened. We had already told her about us thinking about adopting a baby at this point. She said that she would love to have us adopt her baby and we were just overjoyed. My son is now 2 years old and he’s happy and healthy and his birth mother is now employed and no longer living in our basement but rather in her own apartment. My wife and I are both white Americans and the birth mother is mixed race black and white and the father is black as well. I have to say that my son is the best thing that ever happened to us. Life is amazing and should be cherished and celebrated. I can’t imagine my life without him here
Right on cherish your life and hope your good people for him be raised
You gained a fan Ben Shapiro - and I'm not from the right. Great talk with the public.
Thank you for coming!
:>)
I hope a year later you have educated yourself and see he is 100% right on all he says.
Daryl Rocks Well, I don’t think accepting his word as the end all be all is smart. The reason I agree with Mr. Shapiro is because he speaks reasonably and logically. But he’s human. I think increasing critical thinking on all fronts is a good thing. Just something to think about (this is not an attack). I hope you have a good day
Also a new fan here. I'm probably in the center, not really left or right. On some subjects I agree with Shapiro, on other subjects I don't. But I rather have someone who knows what he's talking about than some fuckwit who's screaming random things...
I love how Ben is respectful of other's opinions, and argues with valid points.
Exactly, so rare these days.
Divinis13 like a normal person would?
Jacovich Stabs yes, but unlike most of the liberals in his political position would.
He is attorney.
@@jacovichstabs841 a normal person would? A SMART PERSON WOULD, talk to a freaking leftist or somebody who likes identity politics, there's lot of them who can't accept valid points
Go Ben ! So glad there’s someone out there with the balls to speak truth to this double standard. You’re so knowledgeable and articulate that these idiots have no chance. They keep bringing a knife to a gun fight and they’re so delusional and ignorant that they keep coming back for more….
I'm 2 parts native American. You don't see me whining about the truly messed up issues my people dealt with. Accept reality and move on in an understanding way. Understanding correctly, is the key to moving forward.
I listen to Ben's podcast every morning and it makes my day better. So refreshing to have a political commentator that is honest and has common sense.
it is good as he is to the point and does not waffle on like so many others... sigh
Jordan Peterson's book, 12 Rules for Life, accurately points out, "You can have safe kids, or you can have strong kids."
Ben makes kids strong.
I've been reading that book, it's so long I swear I'll never finish it😂

More people like Ben are beginning to stand up against the darkness! THANK YOU BEN
Yes thank you Ben
Their issue with you, Ben, is that you're intelligent, articulate and speak the truth. God bless 🙏
Inequality has more to do with wanting what someone else has without first knowing what it took to achieve that and then being willing to wait and work hard for the things you want. It is also spawned from not being content with anything but always wanting more
Wanting what others have rather than being content with what you do have is in opposition to being at peace
Eqaulity is juat envy in diguise.
Well put mate🤘♥️
@@ninjawizard3865 not envy its pure jealousy! I always though of envy as seeing what others have and wanting it but still appreciative of their Accomplishments. I see jealousy is pure hatefulness of what somebody has and you want it and you will destroy them to get it.

shouldnt you be more concerned about the problems in your culture? i heard your people require more vespine gas and minerals
@@back_to_the_couch What the fuck kind of response is that? That's so unbelievably rude and also extremely racist, you're not only referring to this person as "your people" but you're also dictating what this individual should be doing with their time. The last I checked, social platforms such as this and Facebook were created on the goal to facilitate more discourse, but in a faster and more accessible way using the internet. How about you let them decide if they're going to prioritize the supposed issues you stated, which by the way may very well be true seeing that I don't even know who you're referring to when you said "your people" in the comment. I don't know about you, but I can't tell the specific country from which this person originates based on their profile picture or their channel name. I'm assuming you went onto their channel to find out what race they were, then came back here and tried to push your agenda on them. And to you @Elliott Park I would say, as an aspiring American I wish you the best of luck and I'm happy to see foreign people taking an interest in American politics.
Hey Elliot Park . Thank you for wanting to be part of this great experiment known as the United States. Yeah that one comment was rude but we got to have a thick skin because free speech can be offensive. We can't have meaningful discussions or debates if when someone is offended it gets shut down. The reason there is an amendment protecting free speech is because not everyone will agree with what everyone is saying. If we all agreed on everything said we would not need a free speech amendment. Seriously why would we need a free speech amendment if there was no dissenting opinions? I feel you're wanting to come here legally because you said you want to become an American. I think you are sending a positive message that you want to have freedoms that you either don't have or never will have in your country. I think it takes a lot to leave your native country. The desire to be free I would think is an extremely strong draw to go where you can obtain the freedom for you and your family to thrive.

You only need to be 35, not 40.
Trump will likely run again in 2020, and "usually" the same party doesn't try to unseat the current president.
Right. If it's ever going to happen in my lifetime though this could be it
I have watched so many of Ben's videos that I already knew how he was gonna destroy each and every question
MISTER SHAPIRO, THANK YOU FOR SPREADING LOGIC AND SANITY INTO THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
Thanks to our police officers and thanks to you. We pray that God will raise up more wise men like you Ben.
Presidential Material right there!
TheControlBlue yes
I would love to watch the alt-right squirm with a Jewish, Conservative candidate running for President.

I love watching you Brother ❤️ and what you say about the Libtards in America 🇺🇸
Dr. Ben Carson is a great example that it doesn't matter if you grow up poor / impoverished, you can still have a great and successful life, you just have to work for it.
Kyler Gilbert / i heard a great interview of Ben Carson today. it was Charlie rose giving the interview, but it was still good.
Kyler Gilbert
Anecdotes are not an argument
John Constantin I know they are not an argument, it supports the argument gave.
Kyler Gilbert
What arguments ...those are just plain statements with no connective logic
You said what is possible not how possible it is and why it is
John Constantin my statement was an anecdote that could help the point that Ben was making. My statement was not an argument / response to the question the guy asked.
I may not agree with you on all your points Shapiro, but I appreciate your willingness to hear others and respect them as individuals for attending the discussion. Bravo Ben.
"I'm sure you're doing a really great 'back of the envelope' job summarizing the argument." Everything after and including that remark totally resonated with me. Yes, I love this Ben Shapiro guy!!
New subscriber here, i love Ben & what he stands for ❤❤
Ben Shapiro makes the world make sense again. 🙏🏻
OMG... that Anti Ben poster was so horribly designed. It wasn't even completely centered. Too many words, and Impact font!? Are you kidding me!?
theajaxs720 they love to label people. Problem is they have created so many labels that they cannot fit it in one poster 😄
theajaxs720 well, to be fair you can't expect much from leftists
theajaxs720 These people don't even know which bathroom to use...so don't expect them to be masters at graphic design and artistry. They could excell in the Special Olympics though (not that I have anything against genuine retarts). At the very least, they could get a participation medal.

Bens Q&As are the best. Super smart and witty
How can people protest this man. He is hitting the nail on the head most of the time. What is wrong with our youth?
That youth is actually the most conservative generation since the world wars. Not including millennial generation, most of them are a lost hope.
No problem there, i agree with most of the point of Ben Saphiro, i disagree with some other part that's called make his own point of view its an interesting man none the less.
Sorry for bad england...
jimbeau I agree. I am 20 going on 21. I see what fools they make of themselves. I hold myself to a higher standard. This man needs to run for president.
What’s wrong with them is their professors are teaching them identity politics, post-modern ideology.

My niece went to a public school in a less than middle class neighborhood. She has four STEM discipline degrees, two BS, a masters and Ph.D. She chose that route because our family is weirdly good at maths. I have never heard her complain about being a woman in science, she is NASA climate scientist, and a lovely person.
I pray for you. Gods blessing , courage, protection, and wisdom.
You do such a great job of communicating with the young and thank you for honoring our brave policemen.
My favorite line of his entire speech was: "If you're a smart person starting from the wrong principals you can reason your way into virtually anything" regarding leftists who are smart.
is becomes tricky when you apply that argument to the very side you stand on.
I appreciated the young man in the red cap and his statement that he was treated well by MAGA people, and he was able to have dialogue and harmony with them. That's how it should be. We want this country to be great and include everyone, and it takes everyone to put selfish differences aside, and be decent to one another. Thank you Ben for your time and efforts to open hearts and minds, Godspeed.
Absolute respect Ben Shapiro !!!
So cool to see Ben call out the alt right as being just as deplorable as the hard left. Extremism on either side is insane. He also nailed it by saying we should treat everyone as an individual which allows civil discourse and not lump everyone under a group identity. Thank you Ben, for pointing out the big difference between liberals and extreme left wing sjws! Epic speech. 👍
As much as I agree with Shapiro, it's funny that everyone goes "Think of everyone as individuals" still points to entire political parties as being one entitiy.
YES! of course there are radicals on each side or the term wouldn't exist. That's alse why seeing white people being so damaging to their race and Christians being so toxic to their religion makes me mad because not all white Christian people are complete jerks. Some of us are amazing, compassionate people who do, in fact, know how to treat EVERYONE with respect, even if we disagree with their lifestyle.
Thankyou! Well said I agree 100%! Ben Shapiro is amazing because he is against the alt right as much as he is against the far left not like some other Republicans who just dont say anything against the far right extremists
What alt right? There is no such thing. It's a phantom, boogeyman of the Leftist Nazis.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16
I agree with Ben Shapiro on 90% of his views. very good speech and a great Q&A session.

I'm American of Mexican descent. I'm fourth generation American born on my mother's side and second generation born on my father's side. My grandparents were church ministers for many years, my father is a church minister and I now have a master's in Biblical studies and theology. The first generations to come were all hard workers and instilled this into my parents. My siblings and I were given the tools we needed to navigate through life. We were taught morals,manners and the importance of the family unit and education. I love America and I love God. My father has always instructed us to love God, and our neighbors as ourselves. He also always taught us to love this great country. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. God bless this great country.
AMEM ❤❤❤
amen brother
As a human being on this planet with the willingness to understand, Ben Shapiro is worth a listen 👌👍🏼
Mr Shapiro, thank you for all you do and keep up the great work i think the way you have gotten the words out to the number of people you have touched i am a disabled veteran with limited resources or i would find a way to contribute to your work please keep up the great work!!!!
Just started listening to Ben Shapiro recently and I love how well spoken he is. He's a professional and a great example for me and other young men.
God bless you Ben! We NEED you now more than ever!!!!!
All kids whether poor, middle class or rich can go to college & become anything they want. Tired of hearing about kids being brainwashed thinking that their being discriminated against. This country is for all races, not just one.
Even better though, you have a good chance of achieving without college if you learn a good skill. Truly a great country!
yeah, no, maybe in a democratic socialist country, with an education system modelled on the one we used to have. uc berkeley used to be free. but yeah, as long as you have good credit you can get some loans, no excuses. like ben said, a lot of public schools are garbage and people don't have the same chance to get into the same colleges. like the town next to berkeley is an example of rich people screwing poor people out of good schools. in the middle of oakland is piedmont, a millionaire tax haven, where they have every ap class, etc. those kids have a better chance of getting into berkeley than oakland students did ten years ago. that was new jim crowe. also in california, the worse the school performs on testing, the less funding it got. so one rich people and bad policy both contribute. obviously corruption plays a part, and we have to keep working towards that ideal. the funny part is you hold a 'social democratic' ideal: more ironically, in latin, a social democracy is a republic, or "res publica" (commonwealth/public things).
If he could only be heard from an open mind he would make an incredible difference.
"The only way you can fix past injustices is with individual freedom."
"if your a smart person starting from the wrong foundational principles you can reason your way into anything". Smartest thing he's ever said.
If you are a smart person on the left or the right, you should know the difference between "your" and "you 're".
Pablo its youtube no one kares. and madpuppet I completely agree
I actually wrote it down..
I didn't really agree with that. I'd think it'd be limited how smart a person could actually be, if they built up an entire world view on foundational principles, that are either proven to be bad/wrong or are logical fallacies. Obviously even smart people start from a wrong place here and there, otherwise how would they find out if it was wrong or not? But I don't see how a smart person could get to the POINT of having built up a whole ideology, without ever having evaluated the principles it's based on.
On top of that, I'd also think a smart person would have their premises on things that they KNEW to be true, not things they WANTED to be true. In order to "reason your way" into things in the context Ben put it, you would have to start with a conclusion and search for facts and reasonings to fit the conclusion, rather than the other way around, so... what kind of "smart" would this hypothetical person be...? Certainly not logically intelligent, surely.
