Ben Shapiro is sent from the heavens to bless this world
Josue Luna or to save it
Josue Luna
Is it safe to say you don't mean Allah! Otherwise this intelligent, well educated Jewish man would probably be dead. FUCKEN religion ! THE plague of humanity!
The salt.
Tim of irrational thought: You secularists murdered 15 million people in the 30s (including six million Jews) and 100-200 million people in Communist countries - and you dare attack religion? Fix your own house first, you sick bigot.
mzk1 Hitler was a Christian. Also I wouldn't call replacing the church with a god like government is very secular or the motive of really any atheists today. Communist and socialist atheism are a wolf in sheeps clothing. But that conclusion requires thinking about it.
If I had only a sliver of Ben Shapiro's intelligence, I would still be a genius!
I thank and praise God for sending us this visionary. :)
I have an idea for that lady who only has 29 dollars a month, get a job and you'll get more
no .... thats how much her husband was paying for obama care.... which is bullshit. Thats less than i or anyone i know with actual jobs pays without all those expensive medical procedures she listed. It explains why nearly half my income (after insurance) is taken from me in taxes, FICA.
fuck her and her husbands failing heart. Fucking hell if i had to come home to that ball busting bag of shit i would hope my heart would stop.
wow steve brutal , brutal but fucking true
what the fuck do suicide rates have to do with same sex marriage???????, this is the perfect example of "Correlation does not necessarily equal causation "
EXACTLY!
I've taken several statistics classes and the second I heard the headline "Same-sex marriage legislation reduced suicide rate among teens studies show" I literally wanted to yell at my computer "That isn't how statistics works!!" Ben did a great job on explaining why and I'm glad we have someone that can looks at the information and studies objectively and doesn't just jump to conclusions based on headlines. Keep up the good work Ben!
I am gay. I've never been suicidal. I oppose same sex marriage because it tells society gender does not matter. Gender matters.
Shouldn't gay people have the right to get married as well? Gender matters but that doesn't mean gays should be outcast and not be allowed to get married. Treating gay people differently will only cause more depression for them and it's not right.
SNAPTHEBEAST Gays can get married. A gay man can marry a woman. Kinda like how a straight man can marry a woman. You don't get extra rights bc you have a grievance.
What does that even mean when you say "gender matters"? In what way does it matter and how is it related to same sex marriage?
if marriage didn't come with benefits it wouldn't matter but that's not the case is it
Gay marriage should have always been a right. Bigotry was the only reason that was left out of their rights, it was a different time period and now we should adapt and gays should 100 percent be allowed to get married. A persons religious beliefs should not be used to discriminate against gays. This country doesn't run on religion. As to gay's marrying wives they don't love, stop playing stupid, how would you like it if the roles were reversed.
$29 per month. Who is paying the other $2971 per month? Me?
Why is it so important for government to get involved in peoples personal lives? If some guy or girl wants to marry someone of the same sex it means very little to me. I could honestly care less. Just let people live and be happy
Jeff Rideout - in a perfect world perhaps, however homosexuality has long been weaponized against the foundation of western civilization as well as capitalism - it's used by the marxist left to destroy the family, the bedrock of the west
Same but, If they didn't jump in(They shouldn't have) People would have trouble getting married, due to christian priests and religious people not going against their beliefs.
Couldn't care less. *
There should be some legal form of union identical to marriage for same sex couples, but marriage by definition is a bond between a man and a woman. The left wanted it called marriage as a slap in the face to Christians.
+Toshow 10 there is marriage before the church and marriage before the state...
Nothing annoys me more than when "conservatives" try to legislate morality...
Not all of us are bible thumpers... If they want to call themselves married and be as miserable as everyone else how does that hurt you or deprive you in anyway???
Pathetic identity politics... The left plays race and gender cards and the right plays religion and abortion cards
How does this study even get published or approved.
Darren Laval The study isn't the problem necessarily, the problem is that the media used it to fit their agenda to claim something that it doesn't claim.
i love every time ben says "is it possible". don't know why just love how it sounds
i like clipping my toenails while listening to ben. i was doing it now
M Lopez ha! I was just clipping my fingernails!
On the subject of Obama care, I think it's shitty to argue for Obama care when it's clearly not affordable for everyone. And on top of that, if you can't afford it you, you end up paying anyway during tax time. So regardless the government get theirs. I'm strongly against Obamacare for this reason. I shouldn't be punished for not having health insurance.
+Erica. Bingo. If you are young, healthy, and single or have no dependents then healthcare is probably a bad idea for you. I'm in my 30's and healthy but have a wife and a bunch of little kids so I choose to have it. The Obama plan is to have you pay into it without you needing to draw much out of it. Aside from the practicality standpoint, it's immoral and I would still argue, illegal, to force you to buy a product - especially one that'll primarily benefit someone else.
Jim S I keep hearing rumors of a repeal but I'm not seeing any action. This displeases me lol
Hello. Couldn't agree with you more on your comment. The government was never set up to do what it's doing, especially forcing people at gunpoint, via taxes and fines, to carry health insurance. I too don't have health insurance, and I'm going to have to pay roughly over $600.00 in fines on top of the taxes that I will owe. Unbelievable.
I did read and hear, though not sure if it's true or not, that when a person files their taxes for 2016, they don't have to check the box on their tax form which asks if one has health insurance or not, thereby not having to pay the fine. As I stated, this may or not be true, I hope it is, but I'll know for sure when I file my taxes.
Also I do believe that if our founding fathers came back from the dead, went to Washington and saw what the government has become, this out of control monstrosity, they would run, not walk, back to their coffins, yelling "Get me out of here!!!"
TheJpgr1958 I've heard that the fine only increase. I feel like avoiding the fine would be illegal.
Hello again. From my understanding, yes the fine will increase every year. But as I stated, I read and heard that one does not have to pay the fine for 2016. But I will know for sure if I have to pay the fine when I do my taxes. And if I do have to pay the fine, I'll bite the bullet and pay it.
Hopefully this time next year, all of Obamacare will have been done away with, as well as any sort of silly fine.
Separation of church and state was not made to keep religion out of government..but to keep government out of religion.
Taylor West I thought it was to do both.
No it was the other way around you moron.
Claudius Atlas actually it's both. in the sence that laws cannot be completely made for religous reasons (no one puts a gun to someone's head to make them Christian) and government cannot tell religion what to do just because of government reasons but government does tell religion what to do as long as religion is breaking law (virgin sacrifice and polygamy in Mormonism).
Propaganda is a huge component of cultural marxism which is why they continue to practice it
It's not just marxism, propaganda is a huge component of every political philosophy.
His hair is badass in this episode. I approve.
Love love love Tucker's face!!
Fer Lynn Tucker Porn
I've watched a lot of these videos, and I think it's adorable how proud he is of his wife for becoming a doctor. Congrats to her!
"Chevy Mirada" LOL
I have the same exact logical rational as Ben, he simply spews it out so much faster then I can lol
Always love the sellout segment in the beginning lmao :D
TPAC Shakur, that's real gangsta!
stickmagnet HIGHWAY 420??
Surely these Town Halls are open to all electors in that District. During the campaign you pitch to your own base but, once you're elected, you're working for all of them, not just the ones who voted for you. These people aren't staging Town Halls as Republicans, they are doing it as the local Representatives, of all the people.
Yes, but only the Left spends untold sums to set up these things.
29$ for you because i am forced to pay for it. see the problem here?
Correlation is not causation.
Extra long, juicy.........mail bag
New drinking game: do a shot every time Ben mentions his Dr. Wife lol
I remember during the town hall for my Rep over deathcare. The hall was packed and they weren't letting more people in, but then, the SEIU (I could tell from the purple T shirts with SEIU on them) was allowed to usher in a little girl from a side door to tell us all about her father's health care crisis - ostensibly as one of the "random" audience questions. It made me angry because it was such an obvious set up. This was for a Rep who ran as a republican.
Wow
good for you daily wire
when I subscribed a few months ago you had 100k less subs
nice job on the rapid growth
I forget how southern people in my state sound.
how the hell are they getting their care that cheap? The cheapest plans here are three times that price. I am sure that this is all more complicated than I know but still...
bruhhh this guy's voice is amazing lmao
LOL ,1979 Chevy Mirada? Did you mean a Dodge Mirada or perhaps Chevrolet Monza?
HEY.
He, watchman of gardens, keeps evil away with his mentula up, warding off blight and thieves, garlanded with figs and grapes.
Think about it.
hiw is Moore still alive dammm i knew a dude who ran everYDAY and ate great. he died at age 43
Swan CSS
Because he is a reptilian.
You do realize that _The House of the Scorpion_ was a fictionous story, right?
um.. did that guy just say 'I don't really care if you're paid or not'? wow.
The News Hour on PBS used to be one of the few great, even handed news outlets. How far the greats have fallen...
Matthew Herrmann x
The next argument will be : what if it was your daugther? Them bastards.
do people not understand that other people are paying for they're healthcare?
Shapiro get on tucker Carlson show
booby b That would be so kickass
Does anyone know how I could contact Ben Shapiro to ask about coming to my High school?
zach sperstad I wish. I'd love for him to come to my school.
The question is, how do we BEAT these appeals to emotion?
Buy beating you're own appeals to emotion first. Even hardened conservatives like Ben appeal to emotion from time to time on issues like abortion and homosexuality. He hates abortion because it's "disgusting" and "wrong" and homosexuality because it's a "sin".
if you remove ideology and religion , the only absolute truism is everything dies some things die slower other things die faster. Liberals make the mistake of wanting to pretend cause and effect doesn't exist, and conservatives want to pretend that their morality comes from this naturally ordained sense of truth stemmed from hard logic the reality is it's not, it comes from emotion and a sense of satisfaction or outage.
Would be nice to see Ben take people's emphasis on how foreigners in the country should be well-treated according to the scriptures and balance them out w/ what was expected and required of those foreigners while living in Israel.
Lyft sucks
i live in Arkansas. dont get get it twisted. it's not a huge movement in arkansas
Comment on the Milo situation directly, man! He's your rival! He's the Ken to your Ryu! THE HAIR COLORS EVEN MATCH!
In regards to the 2 victim clips. My response is, what about their children and everyone else's children that get their quality of life degraded in order to keep everything cheap and cozy (despite the economic unsustainablity) for the current generation. What a selfish, cowardly country we have become.
Religious debate?!?! Awe how cute!
Excellent video.
Emotion is the weakest form of logic. Just because youre going through tough times doesnt mean you have more of a voice than others.
But it does mean when it comes to the issues you're having a tough time going through, that you may have more of an informed opinion than someone who has never personally been through it. Our emotions guide our sense of logic to the right place. If someone hates gay people, then what do you think their "logic" will say on an issue like gay marriage?
Since facts are important I want to clarify that there never was a "1979 Chevy Mirada", that's fake news. Dodge made a Mirada from 1980 to 1983.
Ben, I love ya, but you need to take it easy on the coffee. Slooooooow doooown.
I literally think he speaks fast because he thinks so fast lol. There was one video I saw of him where I literally had to press pause to think about what he just said haha.
Talanx I picture his brain doing suicide laps in his head non stop
There should exist no state issued marital licenses. The state should not be involved in this issue. There are sufficient other records which can be used for anything for which a marital license is currently used.
Just a thought, why do people always seem to preface their points with "I think....". Either it is a fact or it isn't. I never really take a person seriously if they begin with "I think" and then proceed to give a barrage of thoughts and feelings. Give me facts. Facts don't care about your feelings, or your opinion or your thoughts. (Love you Ben)
Spicer didn't say it was all fake. He very clearly said that it's some of both, and then he went on to the bigger point of, "it's not actually representative of the district."
Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Bill Whittle, Scott Ott, Steven Green, Steven Crowder, and Alfonzo Rachel. The most level headed ppl I know.
I don't think this young generation will embrace the BS mine has.
Shapiro Rules
Spicer did not say that all of them were paid. He said a "bit". That's not all, so what the problem with that?
What is the gold record in the background for?
I have listened to Ben for years but the things he has been saying lately sound like he has moved centrist. Pretty much all of his political points are spot on right as usual, I just mean the derision and anger in his voice not only for the left, which is normal for him, but also now for the right
Examples like these are why more and more people are more and more likely to outright dismiss claims made by the "experts" because it is more and more obvious that their narrative/agenda far outweighs reality in terms of their priorities.
Smart man.
Does Ben talk about Mike Pence cleaning up the Jewish cemetery in this video? If so, at what time?
Hur dur. Correlation =/= causation
Even as someone who supports same sex marriage, those headlines reeked of bullshit.
Great video
That movie looks great
Sorry, Ben, no my heart does not go out to the guy with the serious health problem. He was the one who made the choice to eat deep fried steak his whole life and smoke a pack a day. And fine. He should be able to eat, drink, and smoke whatever the hell he wants, it's a free country. But why the hell should anyone expect me to pick up the tab for his health care?! WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE????!!!!!
I thought the youth hated marriage.
moore looks like pizza the hut
when can uk citizens subscribe ?!
Ben Shapiro has a chance to rise to greatness now that Milo is over. Milo was beginning to outshine him because of the insane protests against him. Shapiro can run for president one day too, Milo was a englishman.
The difference Ben is CPAC is a political gathering. It's for conservatives. Universities are supposed to be places for all ideas, all political view points. Especially, as you say, the schools who use freedom of speech brags to advertise their schools, like Berkeley.
dam I love this guy, I'm not a conservative and I disagree with several things but Ben shapero sticks to his pricibles and still has the balls to criticise Trump logically unlike many other Republicans.
I would also suggest Ron Paul's liberty report... A bit of a different speed but he's a man who tells the truth and sticks to his principles... Plus he criticizes both sides which is nice
All hail God Emperor Shapiro
Man, what product HASN'T your wife tried??
0:20 We have gay marriage, the battle is over. LET IT GO!!!
Is she bragging that she is paying $29 and not getting a few hundred thousand dollars worth of care for free? What about those of us that have actually paid more than our share for people that will never pay it back at the expense of our own "dying" relatives? Why are you afforded moral superiority for not paying your own share? Why pay anything? I guess that $29 qualifies you as not being a total bum.
Hey can anyone give me a look at this study?
I asked a Muslim girl if she wanted to get stoned this weekend. She turned around and took off running. I'm confused.
I wanna see that movie.
Yaa Ben
Kellyanne is right!
The things you have a vested interest in conserving (rites, customs, language, blood) don't translate to shared politics. Conservationism is something you do, not something you are, so maybe you should call yourself a Republican or a Monarchist rather than a conservative.
I wish more people had Ben's mentality, not his views just how they approach political things.
Who still thinks town halls are a good idea?
so Milo was a victim of no platforming then?
How about we meet in the middle and install a Pontus Pilate clause? Gay couple wants to marry, Kim Davis doesn't want to have any part in it despite her office having a job of processing marriage licenses. Kim invokes the Pontus Pilate clause and the duty is passed on to someone else. Memories pizza doesn't want to cater a gay wedding for religious reasons? Then the clause protects them from discrimination lawsuits and increases the punishment of obvious retaliatory vandalism. They get to get married, and we don't have to get involved in something we disagree with on a religious level. Problem solved, Henry Clay style.
Did you tell your husband that you get cheap healthcare because of the fact that my father (small business owner) had a 154%tax increase to keep his business afloat. I'm glad you pay $27. we now pay over $800 a month more for your insurance. I think he deserves a youre welcome.
I have zero empathy for that woman. In fact, I have disdain for that woman. The reason is, assuming she's not a stupid person, she must know that she got lucky with her husband's medical costs on the back on the government picking someone else's pocket.
20:34 isn't too clear to me. Could you elaborate? I'm not seeing how Sanders prohibits anyone from getting health-care who can afford health-care.
This doesn't make much sense. If he says everyone should have (is obliged to) have health-care insurance, even the poor, it does not logically follow that he forbids others who are rich enough to afford health-care, to get health-care.
Granted, I'm not all that familiar with Sanders' view on these particular things, but I do doubt he said it isn't allowed to get health-care for those who can afford it. Which is the only way your rebuttal here would make sense: that he actually FORBIDS people that can afford it, to have health-care. As long as he only says 'everyone is obliged to have health-care', then it's a non-sequitur to say people who can afford it can't get it, because of Sanders.
Seeing you're a high proponent of logic - and usually you do make a lot of sense, indeed - I feel this was a bit of a weak rebuttal in this regard.
my granddaughter got a thousand dollars taken from income tax. We are poor, trying to get a car. But she has to pay for others. She has no insurance. Selfish phucn people. Truthfully..I don't give a damn about this nasty snotty woman.
did you mean "sympathy"?
this is Ben at his worst...
he is Jealous of Tucker Carlson & he completely misquoted Sean Spicer (whom i hate)
Ben, I think that sometimes you can't take a joke. TPAC was obviously a lame joke, that's it.
Ben!!! Your thoughts on Milo resignation, please!!!! I can't find an advocation for pedophilia, just a twisted way of how he looks at his own abuse... am I missing something?? Would love to hear your thoughts!
I agree that correlation is not causation. But it's also very logical that legalization of gay marriage can be a factor in making gay people feel more accepted, which should obviously be a factor in lowering suicide rates. Maybe the study doesn't exactly show it, but it does make sense.
Short answer: tragedy sucks, but you don't deserve to be treated like a king/queen just because of it. It happens to everyone, but you don't get a gold star. If you're of the right mindset, you come out the other side stronger than when you went in. If not...well, just see any "liberals/leftists lose it after Trump's elected" compilation; you'll get the picture.
yeah but I wouldn't say you deserve special treatment just because you don't experience it either. Nature at times is far crueler and more evil than any government regime. Just ask those born with Cystic Fibrosis or any kind of disease that completely ravages a person's face or leaves them a two year old in a fully grown man's body.
Everyone likes to scream "survival of the fittest." and "Why should I care?" until they are the receiving end of it. then scream, "foul foul, where is fairness where is justice?" You reap what you sow. What good does it to come out the other side if nothing comes of it? anybody can virtue signal just look at the liberals.
ah, come on Ben. Spicer was treading the same line you were. acknowledging that there were probably some people who are legitimately upset while others are "professional protesters." The term professional protester doesn't mean they're paid to be there, simply that their outrage (as seen in those town halls) is not genuine. Protesting is what they live for, that's their passion... not actually doing anything, but being seen and making a scene. To that point, I think Spicer is right. There's a mix of people who are there to voice their real grievances and others who are there to simply make a scene. Thing is, if I had 50 people shouting at me, chanting protests, not allowing me to even answer the questions posed.... well, I have to also remember that I was elected by the majority and in some of those cases, by a stark majority. That's not to say you ignore grievances, that shouldn't be the goal or premise any representative takes, but 50 or 100 people acting like counter productive activists when compared to the thousands more who did vote for them.... it's not balanced. it's an ineffectual shouting match to rile people into a frenzy.
What's most startling is what happens next. If this frenzy of mob mentalities continues and is successful, what comes after Trump will end up being a giant leap towards the far left. The pendulum is starting to swing wider and wider and until centrists and moderates can reign in the lunacy, the rhetoric, and the galvanized division, well we're all going to be in for a rude awakening.
Has he commented on Milo yet??
All this talk about healthcare. Why do these people act like healthcare is a right? Whatever happened to survival of the fittest and being able to afford what you need? You can't just demand the taxpayers to pay for your medical expenses cause you are dying or sick and can't afford it. If I can't afford the doctors, I don't go. Simple as that.
I was in a motorcycle accident in august of 2016 and I didn't demand anyone pay for it. Had I not been able to afford it, I would have told them to send me home to recover. Collapsed lungs, broken ribs and foot in all. We need to stop acting like everyone should get hand outs and everyone else pay for it.
