Ben Shapiro is notorious for "DESTROYING" all those who dare to debate him or hold different views.
In this video, BBC's veteran interviewer, Andrew Neil, gives Shapiro a hard time by continuously bringing up old tweets and things he said, then holding his feet to the fire.
Neil wins this battle of attrition in the end when Ben takes his microphone off and storms off ending the interview early.
It goes to show that the power of high emotion is strong enough to derail even the most composed of us!

Calm down guys, this isn't a political video lol
Well put, Marshall.
@@CharismaMatrix appreciate your work so much .so edifying for me ,strongly complements my study in behavior psychology and also myself as a individual in society. Just love it .thanks brother
Yes, it is. Lol.
@@komlat253 Lol this youtuber trying too hard to defend Ben Shapiro . Compare this breakdown with that of charisma on command one . That was actually neutral. republicans duh
Umm.. What else do these guys talk about
Ben was not under attack. That is how political interviews are conducted in the UK. Andrew Neil actually went soft on him.
It wasn't an interview. It sounded like a school marm lecturing a student. If he'd done his homework or ever listened to Daily Wire, he'd have not made the statements. It was clear that he was unfamiliar with Ben's views. It's called research.
@@Realgirl833 *It was clear that he was unfamiliar with Ben's views. It's called research.*
God, Shapiro fanboys are annoying. You can't expect an interviewer to have extensive background knowledge on every person they interview. The vice versa is true as well which is clearly shown when Ben got upset and started calling him a leftist because he think everyone who dislike him is a leftist. His interviewer was a conservative. Also, it already clear that someone already did little research (probably some intern) by the interviewer bringing up tweets so you can't even get that right.
A gg no it wasn’t lol. This interviewer was clearly just attempting to smear him. I’ve seen plenty of BBC interviews and none of them are this bad.
@@volitionant9682 Please catch up on any Andrew Neil interviews on RUclips. Or any Newsnight interview. Or Any political interview conducted by British interviewers e.g. Jermey Paxman, Andrew Marr or James O'Brien.
@@Realgirl833 The statements he made were mostly quoting Ben. Asking people to explain their own words is a common interview tactic. 🙄
ben was as prepared for that interview as this dude was making this video
I know. It's like the blind leading the blind.

This makes no sense. If Ben did awful, this video is awful.
Poor Charisma Matrix really failed hard here.
@@accountnotfound7028 spot the fanboy
Calling Neil a lefty is like calling Shapiro a Palestinian.....he’s as conservative as they come in the UK
Lol
Neil literally destroys everyone that he interviews..
he was using leftist arguments.
@@dlg78 hes playing devils advicote. Which is the best thing to do. Hes looking at it from the point of someone who has different oppinion to ben and he got destroyws
@@scottking869 so as I said, he is using leftist arguments...
And didn't respond to Ben's rebuttals..
Which Ben expected him to have to do, because in the USA, someone arguing against you is a debate....in the uk, it's an interview and the other one doesn't have to reply.
That's why Ben quit...im from the uk and our 'interview' structure is more of an interrogation.
Andrew Neil's "debate tactics": ask tough questions
Ben Shapiro: starts attacking andrew neil because he doesn't have an answer lol
The video creator doesn't really understand who Andrew Neil is, like Ben didn't.
knucklesamidge who is he ?
Lewis Whelan thanks man
@Lewis Whelan To be fair.UK's conservative is much more left leaning compared to american counterpart.
@@pinkpidgeon6926 now, don't discount how many issues he would 100% align with American conservatives.
I have done a quick research on him and turns out, he doesn't believe in climate change. That alone makes me doubt his legitimacy or his competence as a journalist.
Don't misunderstand Ben's fast talking for cleverness, he's a hack. He just tries to talk over people.
feel bad for u. such a typical outside perspective. Ben's fast talking is indeed a technique used to express his ideas as superior by presenting it in a large quantity of (usually) unbias and reasonable evidence and reason - as for him talking over people - think of it as a risky competition where one wins and one loses but the longer the competition goes the worse the punishments' for the loser becomes so neither wants to lose. the moment 2 people are debating while talking over each other they are in that competition. Both are at the risk of being portrayed as "annoying or disrespectful" more and more so as the 'talking over each other' becomes longer. Here the one who pulls out is the loser and the one keeps talking is the winner. The loser bears the burden of the shame of losing, the illusion that his ideas are weaker than his competitor, and the fact that now the loser is portrayed to be more "annoying or disrespectful" whilst the winner gets to present their ideas with the illusion that the winners idea is stronger than the loser. So the fact that BEN talks over people MEANS THAT HE SIMPILY WINS ALOT and becomes more FACTUALLY and POLITICALLY convincing (NOT SOCIALLY). BOom lecture right there be grateful. criticizing
@M grimble
@@aaronko5594 well he didn't win this one. Fact is he came away from this interview looking like a hack.
Being from the UK, Andrew Neil is famously right wing. Hence why he snickered and dubbed Shapiro’s statement as ridiculous.
Brexxit anyone lmao
As much as you make a good point your failure to research who Andrew Neil is and his journalistic integrity puts you on par with Ben Shapiro.
I agree. He's being deliberately condescending by calling Andrew Neil an "old dude". The young are so obsessed with age.
This channel is punking itself, and it doesn't even know it.
💯
@@magsj6474 It’s amusing given that unless one dies young, everyone ages. It’s irreversible and cannot be stopped. Mocking older age is utterly foolish.
Shapiro knew who is was. He's a liar.
Andrew Neil is a well known right winger who has worked for Rupert Murdoch that's why he laughter at Shapiro's remarks about his leftist bias.
He can call himself a conservative all day long. Just like Muslims can say Islam is a peaceful religion. It's just not true.
If he is a conservative, why not have a dialogue on the issues instead of coming across like you support Liberal left ideologies.
@@tstjohn777 why should it matter? Why couldn't he answer the question without challenging the political position of the interviewer? Ben does that to make up for his lack of SUBSTANCE. He talks fast so you can't tell he's just saying nonsense.
@@tstjohn777 It's called playing Devil's Advocate. Also because the BBC, for all its faults, requires its journalists to be politically impartial, and hence they can't shy away from asking an interviewee a difficult question just because they happen to be on their side.
He's quite the chameleon isn't he.
@@tstjohn777 "Ben Shapiro, I agree with everything you say" . Is that 'dialogue' Is that journalism?
The "old dude" isn't getting worked up, he has realised the young guy is upset and is pushing his buttons.
there's no way to completely tell, but at the end, the old dude did raise his voice and shuffle a bit - both signs of getting worked and aggravated - the moment, ironically, Ben pushes his buttons. Know the full context before u say it. tsk tsk
@@aaronko5594 Looks like your buttons were pushed by my comment, that was not my intent, had I known you were going to read my comment I would have been more gentle.
@@burstcity3832 🤣🤣
@@aaronko5594 Unironically you got annihilated
@@burstcity3832 Oh i didnt know this comment had a reply... anyways I was just being objective. I do think that ben lost this debate. No doubts there. But it kind of makes me pissed that there so much misleading shit on the internet. Like "DESTROYED"? - seriously? The context is just not there and the fact stands that, although ben lost, its giving people the wrong initial impression to assume his rationally is tampered therefore creating bias. And there's already too much of that.
So thats why, though to some people this may seem excessive, I dont appreciate people treating themselves as if their superior or lesser to others when they cant objectively show it.
People who cant at least understand me probably didnt make it this far so to those who did. You're idiots. Though I stand by everything I said, Like hell i actually care about this topic. Cya-smells of toxic
When Andrew Neill points out that the accusation of being left wing is ridiculous it does make sense. In the BBC he's known for being right wing.
It’s hilarious how CM and Shapiro both thought he was left wing without doing any research based on one position he supposedly took on abortion which is not even as partisan an issue as some people think.
After watching this, you just know that when Ben Shapiro was losing at a board game when he was a kid, he knocked the board over and stormed off 😅
Yes, a petulant little-child with a high-opinion of himself...and a silly Donald-Duck voice
😂😂😂
Totallly 😂
😂😂
I bet he also asked his parents for shekels to pay a rabbi to cast an eternal curse on the other kid and his family and to pray for Israel while he's at it, at least if the kid was a gentile. His mask is finally off.
“The old guy” wasn’t getting emotional when he said he hadn’t heard of Ben until he briefed himself for the interview; he was subtly indicating that he’d taken the time to do what Shapiro should have but clearly hadn’t done to prepare. Christ, a cursory glance at Wikipedia as prep would have saved Shapiro from the comical blunder of accusing the interviewer of being left wing.
You didn't research either that Andrew Neil is a conservative journalist. That's why Shapiro's comment about Neil being a leftist was ridiculous
@BobbyG , you can't be conservative then support baby killing, conservatives are pro-life. The thing in UK is that conservative ideas are no where to be heard, the few ones doing that are put in prison or have to put water in their wine to survive. You consider him to be a conservative, but anywhere else he would be labeled as pure leftist, using same old tactics to bring guest down.
Andrew Neil May be at his core more right wing motivated then left.... however, I can assure you as a Londoner (living in London) the BBC is primarily motivated by the Left, hence why, even though A.N is right, he balances his Bais very carefully by using words that antagonise his guests, (by adding descriptives like ‘barbaric’ ‘archaic’ etc) keeping his Employer happy. I like Andrew Neil, (in fact I greatly admire him ) though I could tell how he used very careful wording to create a reaction from Ben. The outcome was inevitable. Had Ben stayed more clear headed, & asked Andrew Neil to explain why stopping an abortion once a heart beat is felt is considered more barbaric then killing the child itself.
@@kingofthenorth8741 , but Ben asked that, watch it again. He asked if killing a baby is brutal in his view, yet Neil, as all interviewers of this kind, ignored all questions which would show him as deeply biased.
@@kingofthenorth8741 Andrew Neil never ever uttered the word barbaric. It was only Shapiro that used it to fabricate hostility on the part of the host
@@Paroles_et_Musique Sorry, but you are lost. It is incumbent on the interviewer to answer questions. It's not a debate. Shapiro'r role is to answer questions: not to receive fawning praise. This is why Shapiro is so exposed because of his complete inability to defend his hard uninformed obtuse "ideas" and dumb tweets.
"Im popular and no one has heard of you"
What is this?? Highschool??

An attack on person spiced with a implicit appeal to popularity

It’s ridiculous because he’s a well known British conservative.
He's conservative? Depends on how you would define that term, I guess.
Apparently, Neil is a "conservative" who is afraid to admit it to Ben Shapiro.
@@thekeystone7963 he's conservative on everything but abortion and religious issues since Britain doesn't have evangelicals who make that an issue.
@@greenbrickbox3392 Sooo, in terms of the topic at hand (abortion), the interviewer is on the left (legal abortion)?
@@greenbrickbox3392 A conservative is usually someone who has the vast majority or all of their views in the conservative realm, being pro-abortion is a left wing ideal so i would say hes more center-right if what you say is true. In fact since you bring up religion, I'm willing to bet hes more of a classical liberal, not a conservative.
Andrew Neil, top class journalist. You won't tend to recognise his quality of journalism because you don't have it in the US.
Sadly this is true.
@@ryanparsonson4558 As a Brit, I don't entirely accept that. There are some pretty good US guys - often wrapped up in comedy.

This is completely typical of the American ego lol. Andrew Neil is a well known conservative and journalist that has conducted interviews on quite a few occasions. The fact that Ben instantly zones in on trying to identify him with some labels truly stands to show that he has forgotten what it truly means to be the interviewer and interviewee.
Exactly!

@@Sean-MacGuire australian
@@Sean-MacGuireAustralian, actually.
Actually Andrews response made perfect sense, for he is an extremely conservative man and he isn’t utilising a basic American approach to politics. Ben’s argument is “you must be a lefty because you disagree with me!” But as Andrew said we aren’t as polarised in our politics as Americans are.
A conservative/liberal can oppose aspects of their sides ideology. In america that doesn’t happen very often
Very well said sir.
The elderly gentleman is a very seasoned interviewer. He does his homework and knows how to interview a hostile witness so to speak.
Basically Andrew kicked his arse.
Full stop!!
Andrew Neil AKA “the unknown old dude”. Happens to be one of the strongest and well informed political thinkers in Europe. Do your research and you will find that there are greater minds outside of the USA!!

@Richard Pierpoint woosh. Barrington was quoting Andrew Neil when he called Ben's assumption ridiculous.
Honestly a 10 year old would be ashamed of this level of analysis, your massively in the tank for Shapiro from the start,
Neil is playing devil's advocate.
What he was calling him out was on Shapiro adding fuel to the fire on the cultural divide.
Fair and honest journalism.
Neil is no beginner. He is very well known in the UK. He is a seasoned professional and it shows here. It's like a teacher and a pupil - squeaky voiced Shapiro is no match for him. Shapiro is clearly rattled and I love to see this. Shapiro nearly spits out the dummy at the end, and he loses it. Incidentally, Neil (the old guy) is 3 years years younger than Trump, the older guy from the US.
He is shielding himself behind interview/question labeling, but the way he asks them they are more opinions (biased). And many times he just do not let Ben reply. So the one that are unprofessional is not Ben. Maybe in UK this method is accepted, but Ben are used to common sense in the debates. And usualy debates need a 3rd party that control the debate. If 1 side in a debate are allowed to keep hammering scripted arguments when they want to, it is not a debate that can work and it is not honest!
@@SmurfKenny Except, this is an interview, not a debate. In a debate, two parties are put on equal grounds to prove their opinions.
In an interview, you want to gain information out of the interviewee. It is the interviewer's job to bring out all those opinions out of the interviewee, and really flesh it out, so that the viewers can really see the essence of the person's beliefs. The interviewer (the old guy, Andrew Neil) is doing his job. He's not going easy on him, because he wants to show us Shapiro's beliefs. Irrespective of political standings.
@@SmurfKenny The problem with that theory is that this is not a debate. It's an interview.
@@SmurfKenny this isn't debate. Its an actual devil's advocate interview from a news professional and not a puffpiece like what you'd get on a podcast.

Worth recognising Andrew Neil is not just some ‘old dude’ but Britain’s best political interviewer.
You should see Neil's interview with another high profile jew....Alex Jones.....hilarious.

Waken up!.
@@bertplank9892yes he started pulling faces at alex,..that is known as the demon scream... btw Neil looked ridiculous!.
Was until he got found out.
I think Ben Shapiro turned the debate emotional by trying to call him out as a leftist. He should have just answered the abortion question and keep his cool.
He’s a fast talking simpleton
Yeah otherwise Ben would have been able to walk away pointing out how BBC goober was preparing a hit piece because he is too afraid of actual debate. His points were legitimate but so minute in undermining Bens overall character, it was completely ineffectual to the neutral viewer. Saying Ben is essentially a hypocrite in his judeo-Christian beliefs with prepared cherry picked, out of context, remarks, which Ben has already publicly denounced, is intellectually dishonest. That is why Ben got upset. Surface rhetoric, bullet points, and lecturing are what the mainstream media disseminates as information, creating dults who have beliefs built on terrible justification. Listen to Bens philosophical and political discussions with great minds and you can see just how genuine this man is.
It wasn't a debate, why do people keep saying this. Ben Shapiro went on for publicity for his new book, then got harshly questioned and grilled about old tweets and other subjects. No one won or lost Shapiro was expecting a nice interview on his book. Not a grilling session on old tweets and pre-narrated questions.
Also "I've never heard of you" is just a pathetic thing to say.
I think so, too
As a Brit, I can tell you that the 'old dude' is Andrew Neil, the best interviewer around now. He is actually right-of-centre as a person but always hits hard with any interviewee. With many years of experience, he always has the damaging comeback and, more importantly, his research is impeccable. No one who knows his style would have been at all surprised by the fact he got the better of this ill-prepared, self-entitled half-whit who is not even known to anyone outside the US
I'm an American and never heard of Andrew Neil so I guess he's not well known either.
I think he could’ve done a better job here though.
Zay i agree with you. I'm from France and have never heard about Ben Shapiro haha, if he was here he would be a tiktoker not a political critic haha
He most certainly is not a" half wit"he is yours and my friend,a true man of the people,you need to study him,you might learn something.
He annoys me with his ego. Ben Shapiro needs to humble himself so he could learn from others
No one is a tree of wisdom and everyone,even your enemies ,has a thing or two to teach you
Ben was arrogant this time around,there was really no need for that
Wonderful to see Shapiro put in his place for a change.
Simply put, a man is having fun toying with a boy. Stunningly well done! Congratulations Mr. Andrew Neil.
That was the way I saw this. Andy just showed Ben that he's been doing this way before he was born.
I'm not Ben Shapiro watcher and I never heard about Andrew Neil, but I enjoyed this. Ben tried to be sarcastic, but the Brits "invented" sarcasm!! The old boy was having sport with the young pup!!

Seriously.. Watching this video shows how a real professional political interview is supposed to be conducted. Watching American political TV makes me lose brain cells.. You can see how poor the American population has been programmed when they think Shapiro is some sort of slick debater..
Andrew Neil just used the basic interview technique and it got Shapiro all into his feelings.. In American they would let him deflect, run down rabbit holes etc and get nothing out of the whole segment.
But a real professional European interviewer just made Ben come off as a typical American political sophist.. Was like a father telling off his 10 year old son..

@@theaviationist.5719👍 Mr Neil did both!! He conducted the interview as a professional should do interviews and he showed his audience what an amateur Ben was.

@@charlesray9674
Seriously, watching European News channels interviewing politicians is so professional, very sharp, very intelligent, intellectual and you feel like you arealways learning from them.
But watching American interviewers interviewing their politicians is such a joke.. It's just ass kissing from their own side or just pure venom from the opposing side.
If a democrat / liberal got onto the liberal MSN the anchors and interviewers just go into groupie mentality.
If a Republican / Right winger goes onto Fox or any other conservative station, all the interviewers on there seem to do is throw softball cutie cutie questions..
It's so cringeworthy watching American News stations.. It's all about each side sweet talking themselves when they get onto their preferred media stations..

Exactly
I think he's a smart guy and I agree with him on many points - though certainly not on abortion. Either way, he needs 'wins' because he's a political entrepreneur. The truth is important to him. He's certainly not acting out of bad faith. But building an audience and the revenue that generates is probably more important to him.
@Anya Wale I'm not sure how you define 'bad faith.' He's trying to build and monetize an online audience. I think he believes in what he says. He's not a simple provocateur.

That wasn’t his intent here. It was supposed to be a book interview, and he started asking “gotcha” questions. Shapiro discusses this interview on Louder with Corder if you wanna check it out. He admits that he should have done research, but doesn’t regret walking out, because he doesn’t do interviews where the interviewers intent is only to attack him, and not understand.

Poor Baby Boy Ben! I almost felt sorry for him but thankfully good reason got the better of me and I peed myself 😂
That awkward moment when you realise you called a favourite of the British right wing a leftie
You can't reject rights as exclusively sourced to a divinity and not a political invention and be "right wing."
I think it all boils down to Shapiro thinking he was in some sort of debate rather an interview.
No it’s the opposite. Shapiro thought it was a simple interview about the book and didn’t anticipate the type of questions that were going to be asked. If he was in a debate scenario he wouldnt’ve lost it emotionally.
I mean if it was a debate it was a pretty bad one. An interviewer is meant to conduct questions in order to extract information from the interviewee racking up someones past tweets from years ago that were already addressed and solved isn't a great format. I am not defending Ben he got owned pretty hard, lost his cool and made an embarrassment himself but I don't think its as bad as many people make it out to be, probably cos its Ben its getting this much traction.
@@The_Legend_Himself He does make the point later on that the tweets contradict what is in the book, which is something Shapiro could've explained and given a proper explanation to if he didn't react so emotionally.
Shapiro knows that he is an outlier so everything turns into a debate. It is not like such a whack-o is going to find anyone that feels the same way about much of anything.
Thomas Allen wrong, there are plenty of us that agree with Ben, you guys are the outliers here.

The BBC dude is a hardcore right-winger. He is as right as it gets in UK. For Ben to call him “on the left” was just ridiculous and the guy pointed it out spectacularly.
Don’t make videos on things you know nothing about.
He basically called Ben a culture vulture lol
If the shoe fits....
Speaking as somebody who watches the Ben Shapiro show. I’d say that’s pretty accurate. Personally, I don’t listen to him for his wit. I just consider his rants entertaining. Even though I disagree with him often.
@@godemperorpepe Doesn't sound like you turn your brain on when you listen to him.
Celtic Spirits Coven how? I just blatantly said that I disagree with him often, but consider his take on most issues fascinating. Sometimes I think he’s right. Sometimes I think he’s wrong. If I was a Ben Fanboy, I’d blindly agree with everything he says. Bens haters (such as yourself) are far worse than the people who hear him out.
@@godemperorpepe I am not a Ben hater. I think his logic is sound in many areas. There are a few reasons why I disagree with him, but those disagreements are more religious and life-style choices that he preaches. If he toned down his religion and took off that stupid hat, he would likely be an interesting candidate in 2024. Would be nice to hear him debate on the biggest of all stages.
But please.... when you listen to him, turn off the distractions around you and really listen. You might find yourself unable to argue against most of his points if you really cared to use brain force - because he is a formidable speaker ready with facts to back up why something is right or wrong.
Good luck and thanks for not trying to save my soul!
There is a major difference between conservatives in Europe and USA. Andrew told him that it sounded dumb because Andrew is a conservative. And Ben obviously wasn’t aware of this and just sprouted his go to line of „you must be a leftist“. He is so used to debating with people that can’t express themselves properly or don’t have all the info, that when confronted with someone like Andrew, he just completely fell apart.
Min 6:00. The statements of Mr. Shapiro is ridiculous indeed, because the journalist is well known for been in at the right of the political spectrum. For that reason, Shapiro tweeted he broke his rule and did not make the due diligence and know who his interviewer/debater would be.
“What the old dude in the fancy accent says doesnt make any sense” That statement of yours shows that you’re as lost as Ben Shapiro was in that interview. The dude is one of the most conservative british journalists. Calling him a leftist is stupid so is saying that shapiros statement made more sense. No wonder why you have so many dislikes
Also it’s just an ordinary Scottish accent. Not fancy. Just articulate.
Andrew Neil was playing Devil’s advocate rather stating his own beliefs. He is not allowed to on the BBC.
This interview went way over your head.
And basically every shred of commentary demonstrates that.
he's not playing devil's advocate when he calls a law medieval and then won't back up why he calls it medieval.
James Hudson OMG. You really don’t get this do you? It’s not a debate, it’s an interview. He’s simply setting up questions for Shapiro to answer. They are challenging questions because, Shapiro is a controversial figure, but he was giving him a platform to explain his views. The truly hilarious part of this is that the interviewer is far more famous that Shapiro in the UK. His book and this interview were presumably a way of gaining recognition in the UK. Which makes the whole thing an epic fail. 😂🤣
@@MsColl90 for some reason Americans are having a hard time differentiating the difference between an interview and a debate.
@wtnomad i don't think he went automatically into meltdown. i thnk andrew insisted on being an ass.
Here in UK interviewers often frame hypothetical questions in a way that a critic of the interviewee might raise. He's basically saying... what would you say to people who would say your views are barbaric and outdated? He is trying to push the interviewee for an answer and put him on the spot. He's trying to get straight to the point and get a direct response to the big issues and controversies.
I think you totally misunderstand Neil’s question about abortion. He’s not showing any bias against abortion as he does not express his viewers about it. He asked in particular about the”abortion laws” if they’re not too extreme. It’s a valid question. You can be pro life but also consider these laws of putting a woman in jail for 10 years too much of a punishment.
Andrew Neil doesn't care about Shapiro's feelings.
Neil doesn't care about facts either. Ben admitted he could've handled this better but I feel this interview was about 50/50 in my opinion. If Ben wasn't such an awesome debater and always so precise in his comments no one would be looking at this interview so microscopically. I never heard of this limey brit but Shapiro is a powerful political figure in the greatest country on the planet and you know that's The United States of America.
Kyle Sure ,but it was ones Britains colony😄
It would be beneficial if he at least cared about responses. Why ask questions if all you want is to angle your guest into a defensive stance? IT just reeks of poor preparation and scriptet method!
@@SmurfKenny exactly,! As Ben said that only shows how badly motivated this interviewer was from the beginning, fairly similar to Peterson vs Cathy Newman . Ben either didn't have enough patience or too much respect to start lecturing Andrew and rage quitted. Ben simply turned the other cheek by leaving.
@@Kyle-dj2gv lol, thank you for bringing humour to this conversation. Shapiro, as is evident, is not a great debater, but demonstrates familiarity with "gish gallop". If I have nothing better to do, I would be willing to amuse myself with some of his uploads, but for proper debate, I would look elsewhere.
I'm from the UK. Andrew Neil is a seasoned political journalist and a heavy weight. Shapiro should have done his homework. Neil has interviewed and taken on far stronger guests.
Really? Listen again. Opinions are NOT questions! A good journalist let ppl answer their questions and dont interupt them with more questions (opinions).
@@SmurfKenny It's not Neil's opinion, he was playing devil's advocate, and Shapiro took the rope and hung himself.
@@andrew6978 Nope.
Listen again how he loads up his "questions" with one sided arguments, that is not how questions are. Questions lead you down a road, from statement to statement. Even the devils advocate would be honest about why Ben is there. This was a poor attempt at an interview. If you want a debate, then be honest about it and dont shield yourself behind "It is a question". And also then you do let your opponent answer properly and do not constantly cut you off.
@@SmurfKenny It's a very common interview technique in the UK. Watch any of Neil's other interviews.
@@andrew6978 really? Then it is a good thing i do not watch UK TV. It would annoy me endlesly ... I am pro constructive debate. I strongly believe that if you go into any debate with the hope of learning something new, you can never really loose a debate.

@@azaelnava5493 Andrew Neil is a Scotsman.
I'm in the UK and I love interviews by "The Old Dude". :-) Interesting analysis.
The "doesn't make sense" comment makes perfect sense. The right-wing Shapiro accuses the right-wing Neil of being left-wing. That IS a stupid thing to say.
I have the feeling that this RUclipsr has no idea who Andrew Neil is. Comes off as super uninformed. I enjoy watching people laughing about this interview, but this guy seems pretty pathetic tbh.
Passt schon if he had absolutely no idea who Neil was, he wouldn’t have made the comment about the Brits understanding how foolish Ben’s comment about Neil being left-wing was.
It doesn't matter what he says he is. He demonized the pro-life position.
If he is a conservative in Britain that just proves the conservatives in Britain aren't actually conservative. They are conserving culture, but they are conserving the culture of the feminists throughout the 1900s. Not the culture that predicated it.
@@16m49x3 This is not how interviews work. Neil proposed a position that runs contrary to Shapiro's beliefs so that Shapiro would have a chance to respond and give his own opinion. Neil even said as much in the interview itself, but at that point Shapiro was already triggered, unfortunately.

This looked like an exorcism,but Ben interrupted the session and remains possessed.😂
It’s ridiculous and dumb because he is one of the most right leaning journalists in the UK
Ben was unable to control the narrative, which is his strength...
He got aggressive and emotional, not dominant, but sounded weak and whining, like a beaten bully in a playground!
Out for the count! No fight! All flight! I hope he learns from this!
There was no way he could have gotten dominant on this one (and I am not Shapiro's fan). The anchor didn't care about what Ben had to say, he was just picking him.
Bbc smear job.... Ben knows if you can’t beat your opponent, avoid him, so he ran away
He sounded justifiably impatient at having to sit through a bunch of dumb, loaded questions from an intellectual midget old duffer.
The way this format is managed strikes us as biased and unprofessional for a journalist. Not saying it is, it is sloppy enough when we have two sides arguing, the journalists role is supposed to be neutral, like a ref, so this breaks our rules, like a ref that is biased. Both sides should have figured this out better.
Basil Rathbone there has no real credibility as a moderator or journalist without a slant so he goes through Ben to get some cheap notoriety. I'm sure the last 6 holdouts still watching the BBC (reruns of Star Trek and lame ass Dr Who) were mesmerized.... and then promptly went back to sleep at the old pensioners home.
The old bastard has about 14:57 of fame left...
The interviewer is known for being incredibly conservative. Shapiro should have done at least a little bit of research before going on his show.
t his is true
Shapiro thought he could handle the situation with his usual fast talking.
@@masterofalltrades_ please at least be honest. I'm not a shapiro fan but he at least has some good points. I don't think either of them - Neil or Shapiro - conducted this very well.
@@Wilantonjakov this is how Neil does interviews, Shapiro got it fairly easy compared to how Neil tears into Leftists and Labour. Shapiro isn't really used to devil's advocate interviews done by career journalists in the UK so I can see why he'd be unprepared if his experience has been college campuses and softball interviewers like Rubin.
@@greenbrickbox3392 don't worry, I live in the UK, I've seen quite a lot of Neil's interviews. This was one of the worse ones. I understand using the 'devil's advocate' position, but there is a way to conduct an interview and a way _not_ to conduct one. That's all I'm saying. Also I'm pretty sure the purpose of Dave Rubin's podcasts is just to gain a perspective on his guests' views, not to have a rigorous debate.
Shapiro is used to college kids. He acknowledged his lack of being prepared for this debate, however, I don't think he ever could have been. Andrew Neill is a brilliant mind *_and a conservative_* and that's what makes this so entertaining for me. Neill was merely pointing out Shapiro's contradictions. i.e. "I think racism is a sin", "Jews want to build stuff, Arabs want to blow stuff up and live in sewage" (utterly racist). Neill's, bold and well studied statements are meant to push buttons to get answers, and Shapiro isn't used to being bested, nor having his own contradictions (sins?) held up in front of him. Also, he didn't even know that Neill was a conservative! I lol'd when Ben called Andrew Neill a leftist. 😂😄
The epitome of Conservative intellectuals used to be William F. Buckley Jr.; I didn't usually agree with his opinions but respected his intellect. This guy
What I find so hilarious about this is that Shapiro is known as a great debater but what Neil has done was what I basically learned in my debate class in college: don't get emotional, State your points, make your arguments.
But this wasn’t a debate. Ben didn’t have info on his “opponent” because it was an interview. The interviewer went into a pretty aggressive line of questions. Why as an interviewee would you field interrogation questions about old RUclips videos and tweets? Maybe one or two but cmon. Dude was in full attack mode.
@@normcmiller No one said it was a debate but in my experience with debate, the skills can apply here even in an interview.
@@normcmiller The interview questions werent aggressive but they were direct.
Your record is fair game in this world. What you say will be used agaibst you in the court of public opinion.
The Al Show it wasn’t even really an interview. More of an interrogation. Ben’s fault for not knowing this guy’s style. But when someone has thoroughly dug through your past and found bits and pieces of quotes you may not even recall on the spot, it’s a no win scenario. Ben did terrible. I’m sure there are things to do in that situation. Maybe he could have just answered the questions the way Mr.Neil did - be smug and deflect.
@@normcmiller A news interview is interrogative in nature. After all. police interview suspects. An interview is not purely goid natured conversation
The 'old dude' is probably the most respected, professional and feared interviewer on British TV. He has also been around for decades as a broadcaster and journalist at the highest level of political discourse. He was the editor of the Times for more than ten years and Chairman of Sky News at its outset. He is so forensic in his analysis and well briefed and knowledgeable of his subject that many politicians in the UK refuse to be interviewed by him. He reduces them to gibbering and makes the great and good look foolish. He is also as far right wing in his personal politics as you will see on British TV. It is sadly emblematic of American media, RUclips included, that little or nothing is known about anyone or anything outside the USA.
You made all that bullshit up watch his other guests like Candace Owens and others He doesn't do shit quit making him out to be a gladiator fool!
Imagine if this was Paxo though. Even more brutal
knowledgeable?? really?/. says a women who miscarries can get 30 years?? 10 years if you cross state lines for an abortion? lol and he is knowledgeable and does his research?
So he was the boss of a tabloid paper?
Tabloid
@@hamishkingdon3706 The Times is not a tabloid, but rather one of the most respected newspapers in the world 😂

He went up against someone smarter and more knowledgeable, and unfortunately couldn’t take it!
"Narrating some old Sherlock Holmes novel" haha. Well, Andrew is Scottish, like Conan Doyle, so maybe that's it.
Shapiro did ZERO research on the interviewer. The reason why Ben lost is because he didn't realize that Andrew Neil was playing the contrarian in order to have a good back and forth. He way outsmarted Ben.
Good take.
@@CharismaMatrix Thanks. Andrew Neil is conservative too, by the way. I'm just surprised at how little Ben knew about him because he usually researches people before interviews.
Now I want more Andrew Neil. This guy is great.
"way outsmarted" - Dude
All the interview is designed for make Ben Shapiro angry...
Why should a person research an interviewer? An interviewer is supposed to really just ask question, not just be a snarky ass for 16 minutes. Not a single one of this hacks questions were designed to elicit a productive back and forth, it was just high brow moralizing about issues Ben has already addressed numerous times. It’s like watching interviews with Jordan Peterson, every interviewer thinks they’ll be the one to finally get him to crack. It serves no purpose and very much helps bring in clicks and funding, even for the jolly old subsidized BBC.
The irony of someone not even trying to debate him, completely destroying him in the process of a simple interview shows the lack of actual intellect in Ben Shapiro. This is why he debates 19 yr old college students.
Lips pursed, Shapiros eyes were coal black with eyebrows knit like he was about to explode. LOL!

@@andrew6978 Yes i do know this. However the guy says clearly in his video he does not know where Neil's accent is from or his politics are. Now Galloway is know in the USA and has a Scottish accent. So that was the only comparison i was making.

@@barrywhite7771 Well your not wrong. But if you can see where Ben Shapiro was coming from to start with he didn't know anything about Neil's politics. He just assumed he was dealing with another American style Journalist.

I love this video. Ben discredit himself when he gets upset with the questions and he didn't understand that this was an interview where HE answers questions and him asking them!!

Haha that's hilarious. I'm a huge observer of Conservative values, but it feels good to see Ben get handled like this.
Calling pro life barbaric isn’t right wing.
@jimmy2k4o Andrew didn’t say that. He said that a woman getting 30 years in prison for abortion is barbaric. I know a lot of right wings that will agree with that. Been a right wing is not the same that been extremist . Thank goodness in Europe we don’t have that many like in USA .
Livingthedreem 80 if you believe abortion is murder why would you consider 30 years for a murder charge barbaric.
It’s just being consistent is all.
If you call abortion murder but you want to penalty then you’re just making big rhetoric with nothing tonback it up
jimmy2k4o he probably considers that barbaric because a lot of proper murders get only 10 years. Also, the interviewer’s question for Shapiro was if 30 years for a miscarriage is wrong. You can’t defend that since miscarriages aren’t intentional murders
Andrew Neil is a conservative. A BBC interview is not a cosy chance to have a nice chat and have your ego massaged, they are looking for a headline or to create some news from you.
Andrew Neil as far as I know his no position on abortion because we don't demand our public figures have strongly held and oft-stated opinions on stock issues like Americans do, but regardless of what his position is, he is trying to get Shapiro, a well-known controversial figure, to say something controversial in order to create news.
It worked, because here we are.
Andrew Neil is the English speaking world's greatest interviewer by a mile. His knowledge is unreal and his ability to think on his feet is unmatched by any journalist I've seen.
He was well known at the BBC for giving people from all sides of the political spectrum a hard time, even though he is right wing. Hence his ridiculing Ben Shapiro's claim that he's on the left.
The US really needs someone like him. Politicians get an unbelievably easy ride there.
Well done Ben, I’ve worked with people like Andrew and it’s a game they play to see how long it takes before you pop!
He’s definitely NOT under attack, he’s being given the opportunity to explain himself. Probably a hard concept for narcissistic Americans to understand in this day and age
