The unarmed black kid who was killed in the book, Kendrick Malone, is definitely just a mashup of (presumably) the only two rappers Shapiro knows: Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone
Like I was expecting to laugh at this but like the idea that the black communities planned and are responsible for the death of innocent children and the fact that he takes the side of a child murderer is genuinely disgusting
I mean, the reactionary position has always been that child murder is good, as long as the children being murdered aren't white. It is still funny because, yeah, even if LeeVonne or whatever his name is set the kid up, even in Ben's ridiculous scenario the cop is STILL the one who's obviously in the wrong. Even those retarded TV shows about cops can at least figure out that if you're going to try to justify police assassinations of civilians, you've got to try a little harder than this. Like, Officer Shamrock O'Prodtaigahan could have just, you know, ignored the kid and gone back to firebombing cathedrals or tossing the Pope's salad or whatever Irishmen do of a day, and LeeVonn's whole scheme would have fallen flat on its face. And Officer Paddy McBogtrotter should have blown his brains out after realizing what he'd done, to really drive home that when the fat blue line has to shoot a civilian four hundred times in the back in front of his wife and kids, the police are the REAL victims, not the dead children or whatever. Why didn't Ben write it so that VeeLonne dressed up as a cop and murdered the kid himself in order to frame the police? You know, just to completely detach from reality and enter a fantasy world where the stupid fascists terrorizing our streets are actually misunderstood heroes who are being heinously discredited by the evil brown people.
@Porky A better question would be this: "Do you want revive The Troubles?" I'm not sure if you know what The Troubles are; it was a thirty-year period of time that was defined by violent attacks perpetrated by the Irish Republican Army against the British military in the hopes of removing British soldiers from Northern Ireland and uniting with the Republic of Ireland. It is also a time wherein Catholics were routinely beaten, stabbed or shot by the British military and homes as well as businesses that were allegedly or actually owned by Catholics were bombed. The Troubles is generally considered to have started in 1968 with the Battle of the Bogside and ended with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998.
I feel like the black character is based on someone Ben lost a debate to in college and he consoled himself by thinking whatever he’s going to be a crack dealer and this is his petty revenge
Yes 100%. The reference to "white republican club kid" was such a giveaway. He got humiliated and immediately fantasized about him either getting killed by the cops or becoming a criminal.
@@cambriaofthevastoceans6721 It was like those old movies where Ben lost the debate and now his girlfriend doesn't want to be with a loser, she wants a winner.
This is like Conservative fanfic porn. I have read many online stories and fanfics with this level of quality, and many that have vastly superior writing.
Like it actually bothers me that fanfic writers with infinitely better writing will never make a penny from their stuff and this fucking midget shits out absolute drivel and sells it for 20$ a pop.
I’m honestly shocked at just how bad it is. I’m not surprised it’s super racist. But I figured that his prose must just be mediocre. Nope! Even the way he writes sentences is inept!
It's really strange that, even in the most biased and favorable lens, Ben still portrays his heroes as committing morally objectionable actions. The police officer shoots an unarmed kid. Even in the story's own context where this is a bait by "race hustlers," it actually supports the portrait of a trigger-happy, perhaps even racist, police force. Succinctly, it doesn't matter if someone "baits" you into murdering someone for a malicious reason. Murder is still murder, and it is still wrong. He rails against terrorism, but his rancher character actually commits an act of domestic terrorism by bombing a government office. Even as caricatures, these events represent a conservatism rife with contradiction and incredibly lacking in self-awareness. More disturbing is Shapiro's point of view, which apparently finds his character's actions defensible. This is worse than Rand. She was a terrible writer who presented a preponderance of shallow characters, but even her ideological tomes had a simple internal consistency: selfish capitalists were heroes and socialists were villains. Shapiro demonstrates the same lack of nuance as Rand, but he can't even write a biased enough text to uncritically support his ideology. It's hilarious, but it's also a sad symptom of a conservatism which has such a lack of intellectual grounding that it has to rely on the likes of Ben Shapiro as a mouthpiece.
The most disturbing thing is that everybody's eating that book up. The 60 years old conservatives that think that they should be allowed to say negro love it
@death wish, Left Behind had two authors/writers: Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye. The two male protagonists, Cam-Cam and Flyboy, were blatant Gary Stus, and also huge jerks in ways Jenkins and LaHaye clearly thought were totally fine.

As someone whose parents grew up during the Iran - Iraq war and had their homes bombed I can confidently say that is was all a fake conspiracy. My non Muslim Iranian father was not forced to fight in that war either. Oh yeah and we totally speak Arabic and dress like Sheiks.
Ouch. I remember learning that the Iran-Iraq War was the first time in the modern world that a person who is in a position of power used Sarin gas on civilians. Sadam Hussein unleashed Sarin gas on thousands of Kurds in the final days of the war. Though when most people hear the phrase "Sarin gas attack" they think of one of two events: 1.) The 2014 attack on civilians in Syria by Bashar al-Assad. 2.) The 1995 attack on the subway system of Tokyo, Japan by the extremist religious cult known as Aum Shinrikyo. I am not entirely surprised by attack in Syria as it was done by a person in government; I am more surprised by the Tokyo subway attacks because it occurred in one of the safest countries in the world as well as the fact that the perpetrators were some of Japan's best and brightest and gotten great educations at some of Japan's most prestigious universities; Tokai University, Kogukua University, and Waseda University.
I love how his compulsion to make his talking point is so strong that he interrupts long winded exposition with said point because he couldn't figure out how to fit it in the story. And the editor didn't stop him.
Ben: "Let's say the exposition wasn't long enough. Let's also say I want to insert a political statement." (Wiggles head erratically) Editor: "...Yeah, I'm done."
These college kids protesting to Ben Sapphiro Speaking on their campus should just make dramatic readings of his book just outside! That shit would be hilarious!
So wait, Ben was trying to make the police officer seem innocent and apart of someone Master plan but he still shot a kid. None of this would had happen had he show some restraints. so is Ben thinking that someone planned all of this out that he isn’t guilty of shooting a 10 year old?
In all seriousness, I think Ben was trying to write reference Tamir Rice since he briefly mentioned the kid had a plastic gun. However, this is not only a weird strawman of what happened--but it's a strawman that was used to argue against people like him. There is no way where Ben Shaprio isn't bad at this.
What I love about the character Kendrick Malone is that you can vividly picture the creative process behind the name just by hearing it: Benny on his laptop googling "famous rappers" pondering to himself "Hmm, what sort of names do black people have?". I love that coming up with a name suited for "urban youths" ammounts to field work to him.

Yeah being a kid sucks because literally anything left at all is considered being a pussy But look we don't need a razor commercial to tell us to stop calling boys pussies
when I saw this online, I thought this book was a parody of Shapiro’s views. but it’s actually real, written by the man himself. genuinely cackling with delight.

litoo2002 At least The Room had some heart and you can find entertainment value from it despite it being unintentional, True Allegiance is fucking disgusting and this is the only source of enjoyment to come out it.
One of them is a mess of strange grammar, bizarre plot, unlikable characters, terrible motivations, awful flow, and all around horror. The other is the 2003 cult classic film "The Room", directed by Tommy Wiseau, starring Tommy Wiseau, Greg Sestero, and Juliette Danielle. (Yes I am aware that this joke is overused)
Every single person to debate Ben Shapiro in the future shouldn't say a single thing and instead read only original quotes from 'True Allegiance' right into his face.
No general goes anywhere without a cadre of self protection and air support. The only general we had die in Afghanistan was a low one star who was killed while surrounded by his own men, on a friendly base, by a deranged afghan army soldier. Tldr: fuck no they don't go anywhere without massive protection
8 Mile Road cuts through the suburbs of Detroit, a mostly-white town called Hammtramck. That's where Eminem grew up. It's nowhere near Downtown Detroit where Ben wants this to take place.
Ben thought he wrote Prescott as thinly-veiled Obama in personality, but the more I hear about him in the story he sounds more like Trump as president, if only his dementia hadn't set in.
Currently halfway through reading The Reactionary Mind by Corey Robin and it makes this that much better. This reminds me of the racist version of Michael Scott’s spy thriller Michael Scarn on the Office, or something Mac from it’s always sunny would write.
Let the ballad of B.S. be a warning to those ignorant about the world around them. He even managed to make the "bad guys" in his his own story more merciful than his own protagonist who he can't even manage to not make him sound like a war criminal.
So basically, it’s Ben’s modern version of the turner diaries for spoiled white people like himself. His stereotypes about black people are straight out of 1990. Also, Ben is clearly closeted, with that sexy description of the general.
It wouldn't surprise me if Ben has a copy of "The Turner Diaries" on his bedside table. I just hope that Ben doesn't write a sequel to "True Allegiance" but if he does; I would be somewhat interested if he sets the book during The Troubles as we could get an idea of what Ben's views on Northern Ireland are. For those who don't know what The Troubles are; they are defined as a thirty-year period of violence, terror and despair in the British Isles with the parties being the Irish Republican Army and the British military. The IRA was determined to have British soldiers removed from Northern Ireland and to unite with the Republic of Ireland under the leadership in Dublin. The British military was determined to stop the violence in Northern Ireland and make sure that Northern Ireland would remain under the rule of the British government in London. The Troubles are generally considered to have started in 1968 with the Battle of the Bogside and ended with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Ben would probably depict the Catholic population of Northern Ireland (and by extension the IRA) as violent murderous thugs who get excited over burning homes and businesses owned by Catholics as well as setting off car bombs in addition to beating, stabbing or shooting Protestant citizens, police officers and British soldiers. Ben would probably depict the British soldiers, Protestant community and the police forces of Northern Ireland as good people who were desperate to stop the IRA.

There's a lot of stuff about True Allegiance that, like The Dark Knight Rises, is incredibly stupid but completely missed the zeitgeist of it's intended audiences' reactionary fixation by a couple of years. Like the President stuff is asinine (he's supposed to be a very obvious Obama stand-in with a Republican preceeding him in office and everything but then Ben mentions Obama so this guy is like the President of an alternate future 2020?) but him being killed off the make way for an incredibly unpopular female VP is like the perfect summation of how conservatives saw the 2024 election, so even though Ben obviously wrote her to be a Hillary stand-in he basically predicted Kamala Harris but was too early to capture the zeitgeist and too stupid to try and pull a "I predicted the future" grift in 2024
Your take on this “book” is pure gold. Makes tom Clancy sound like Dostoevsky by comparison. As for US generals dying in action in the last 100 years …At least one American general died in action In Vietnam. Same fur Korean War. Also in Korea one American general, after his unit was overrun by the the North Korean army was captured. This two star general was manning a bazooka when captured! Multiple US generals died in WW2

Six Pump sounds like it should be Shapiro's nickname
Read this book's Amazon reviews and you can see the future of america

How did Ben fail as a comedic screenwriter? This is gold!
I'd pay for the audiobook narrarated by Tim Heidecker. This episode is unreal
Oh my God that would rule
Something that always bothered me about Ben's description of the kid: "...wearing SOMEONE'S old Converse sneakers..."
Virjunior Yeah, as if Shapiro wasn’t dehumanizing enough to the fictional child he had written exclusively to get murdered.
Lmao when friends of mine tell me Ben Shapiro's a genius who should be president I just suggest read his books.
Scot Macmillan I tell myself that all the time lol
Yeah but your friend who thinks that is probably lacking as a literary critic. He might think it's downright Shakespearean.
Yeah being a kid sucks because literally anything left at all is considered being a pussy
But look we don't need a razor commercial to tell us to stop calling boys pussies
@@polishpipebomb No. We need a trans woman dressed like Liberace.
Shapiro is clearly out of his depth when he writes about heterosexual matters.
"True Allegiance" is MAGgot porn!
You put the thing in the other thing or whatever, right?

Matt's cackling through this whole thing was the best part for me
It sounds fake half the time, though.
I. Fischer-tree that's just because Matt has no true joy left in his shriveled heart
Yes. I can relate.
when I saw this online, I thought this book was a parody of Shapiro’s views. but it’s actually real, written by the man himself. genuinely cackling with delight.

That's a viva.
This is the best episode of Decker EVER.
LOL!!!
I love Decker.
Tim Heidecker as Bret Hawthorne could quite possibly be the single greatest achievement in cinema history.
We're talking AT LEAST 5 bags of popcorn and 3 *LARGE* sodas.
Is it weird that I continually listen to this over and over again?
I'm on my, I dunno, fourth or so listen. This is the most timeless reading series they've done so far.
I do too
Back here for, I think, my 4th time.
I'm on my fourth listen, too.
If listening to this over and over again is weird I don't want to be normal.
This book aspires to be stock basic airport fiction and falls short of even that.
Why are so many airport books about terrorist attacks, anyways?

"How do we convince people that the NSA isn't useless... I KNOW!"
I can’t tell if Ben wants to be Brett Hawthorne or if he wants to get topped by him
oh he def wants to be topped
Probably wants to watch his wife, who is a doctor, take that Army D. All those conservative theists are cucks.
Topped... definitely
Bit of both

I can't wait for the movie adaptation staring Nicholas Cage as Hawthorne and The Rock as the Latino Sarah Palin
I would have casted Nick Jonas as Brett Hawthorne and Jennifer Lopez as Soledad Ramirez.
This novel seems like a bad version of movie :"the room." The author wanted a serious book but it is a joke.
litoo2002 At least The Room had some heart and you can find entertainment value from it despite it being unintentional, True Allegiance is fucking disgusting and this is the only source of enjoyment to come out it.
don't compare tommy wisseau to this shit
You know it's bad when The Room is the "good version"
It's a bad version of the Turner Diaries.
One of them is a mess of strange grammar, bizarre plot, unlikable characters, terrible motivations, awful flow, and all around horror. The other is the 2003 cult classic film "The Room", directed by Tommy Wiseau, starring Tommy Wiseau, Greg Sestero, and Juliette Danielle.
(Yes I am aware that this joke is overused)
Every single person to debate Ben Shapiro in the future shouldn't say a single thing and instead read only original quotes from 'True Allegiance' right into his face.
“When we laft lest our heroes”
Love too hear my boy misspeak just like I do
I watch this episode when I'm feeling down, because ultimately whatever I write could never be worse than Ben's work
Its tough being an otter in a bear's world
Do we really send Generals on field missions? Even if they have GPS implants?
No general goes anywhere without a cadre of self protection and air support. The only general we had die in Afghanistan was a low one star who was killed while surrounded by his own men, on a friendly base, by a deranged afghan army soldier.
Tldr: fuck no they don't go anywhere without massive protection
William Calhoun No. We don’t.
What they failed to notice is the kid killed is how Ben describes all Palestinian children's murders by the IDF.
8 Mile Road cuts through the suburbs of Detroit, a mostly-white town called Hammtramck. That's where Eminem grew up. It's nowhere near Downtown Detroit where Ben wants this to take place.
Everytime Will says "Tallyban", I hear "tally me bananas" in my head.
pls god cast pete buttigieg as president prescott in the movie adaptation of this
Ben thought he wrote Prescott as thinly-veiled Obama in personality, but the more I hear about him in the story he sounds more like Trump as president, if only his dementia hadn't set in.
Power hungry race hustler is probably the best description for Ben Shapiro I have ever heard.
Felix: "In Homeland, the terrorist would be literally called; Koran Jihad Muhammed", rofl :D
Currently halfway through reading The Reactionary Mind by Corey Robin and it makes this that much better. This reminds me of the racist version of Michael Scott’s spy thriller Michael Scarn on the Office, or something Mac from it’s always sunny would write.
Let the ballad of B.S. be a warning to those ignorant about the world around them. He even managed to make the "bad guys" in his his own story more merciful than his own protagonist who he can't even manage to not make him sound like a war criminal.
Omg, I was writing and a video auto-played to this and I'm soooo happy./ Thank you for uploading!
This is the Turner Diaries Lite.
Ben's Jewish, there's no way his characters are uncircumcised. If asked, he'd probably describe them as "double-circumcised."
All the bad guys have more skin stapled on, a reverse circumsision.
That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. No Prozac for me today
So basically, it’s Ben’s modern version of the turner diaries for spoiled white people like himself. His stereotypes about black people are straight out of 1990. Also, Ben is clearly closeted, with that sexy description of the general.
It wouldn't surprise me if Ben has a copy of "The Turner Diaries" on his bedside table. I just hope that Ben doesn't write a sequel to "True Allegiance" but if he does; I would be somewhat interested if he sets the book during The Troubles as we could get an idea of what Ben's views on Northern Ireland are. For those who don't know what The Troubles are; they are defined as a thirty-year period of violence, terror and despair in the British Isles with the parties being the Irish Republican Army and the British military. The IRA was determined to have British soldiers removed from Northern Ireland and to unite with the Republic of Ireland under the leadership in Dublin. The British military was determined to stop the violence in Northern Ireland and make sure that Northern Ireland would remain under the rule of the British government in London. The Troubles are generally considered to have started in 1968 with the Battle of the Bogside and ended with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Ben would probably depict the Catholic population of Northern Ireland (and by extension the IRA) as violent murderous thugs who get excited over burning homes and businesses owned by Catholics as well as setting off car bombs in addition to beating, stabbing or shooting Protestant citizens, police officers and British soldiers. Ben would probably depict the British soldiers, Protestant community and the police forces of Northern Ireland as good people who were desperate to stop the IRA.
As much of a meme as Ben is, the turner diaries is extremely antisemitic why would Ben like it.
@@DrSPF23 his book does veer dangerously close to some day of the rope type stuff, but ever since being bullied by the far right during his breitbart days ben has to draw the line somewhere
@@DrSPF23Ben is a very dimwitted man who fails to realize he's made his living courting an audience only one degree removed from and on a trajectory to become the kind of people who want to see him put in a gas chamber.
Had to save this video for a private viewing. Ben gets me way too hard and I couldn't afford busting out loud laughing in public.

Yeah I don't respect the New York Times bestsellers list anymore. What in the god damn hell was that book?
You can honestly write "Penis" on a napkin and it'd be a New York Times bestseller
Tbf thatt only means it sold well. I imagine the NYT review would be less than glowing.
Can’t that list be manipulated by having someone just buy a ton of copies to artificially inflate sales numbers?
@@samiamrg7 Actually that is how politicians and pundits books reach to the best sellers, their force their aides and their workers to buy the book so they can inflate the sales numbers and reach to the New York Best Sellers, the editors don't give a fuck about the actual quality of the books, and they are afraid of their corporate overlords, so they wont do actually quality control. In this sphere is all about patting themselves in the back and flatter each other egos.
samiamrg7 yes that’s called the Buckskin Brigade or L. Ron Hubbard tactic
i don't know much about gay culture, but "bear" is a type of man described by gay people, right?
A bear is slang for a big hefty hairy gay guy. 'Otter' is a smaller, younger bear.
And that's why it's called _liberal arts_ - at least they can write and compute the mechanics of drama.
@ryne green Oh don't get me wrong - liberals make bad art. Chapo take great joy in pointing out the horror show that is SNL. But maybe with a few exceptions like A-game Clint Eastwood and Gary Oldman (DW Griffith and Riefenstahl to go back further), only the left consistently produces excellent art. I think it's probably got something to do with a lack of interest in empathy and introspection on the right. I don't think today the right could ever produce didactic films as effective as _Sorry to Bother You_ or _Blindspotting_ or _BlacKkKlansman_ .
PurushaDesa They’d end up glorifying the Klan in those movies.
Did Ben Shapiro create 165 separate accounts to dislike this comedy gold mine.
22:40 You can actually, physically feel the point where it starts to go from 'every word of this is hilarious' to 'it's surpassing our ability to laugh at this shit'.
went from a dumb but fun 90s action thriller to something genuinely offensive- venturing dangerously close to white supremacist literature
@@yareyarejose5080 I mean that is Bencil Sharpener's M.O.
The 8 year old from Detroit does me great honor.
Hearing a man with a PHD write such garbage that's a bestseller has boosted my confidence as a new writer :)
The fact this got published while people that I know who are writers are not depresses me I hope he self published this
It's amazing what money can do for someone. We don't live in a meritocracy, we live in a society where the ideas that get funding get a platform. There are many great artists that are never published because of this.
Hearing this now and considering what’s happening in Minnesota right now, it’s fucking awful to think that this is what goes through Ben’s head whenever an instance of law enforcement abuse goes viral again.
Ben's actually a reverse otter power bottom, he was twonk in Highschool
I miss the early trump years when chuds like Ben were so overconfident they gifted us gems like this.
Just imagine this book, on audible, spoken by the author himself. Ben Shapiro
Listening to Ben Shapiro talk about bears, otters, and twunks really does it for me.
There is enough material in this to do a thesis on how conservatism is a cover for repressed homosexual desire.
Whenever president prescott comes up, I can't help but imagine him looking like Funny Valentine.

25:55 The Texas Governor demanding troops enforce border control with lethal violence as a concept has aged REMARKABLY in the time since this was posted.
There's a lot of stuff about True Allegiance that, like The Dark Knight Rises, is incredibly stupid but completely missed the zeitgeist of it's intended audiences' reactionary fixation by a couple of years. Like the President stuff is asinine (he's supposed to be a very obvious Obama stand-in with a Republican preceeding him in office and everything but then Ben mentions Obama so this guy is like the President of an alternate future 2020?) but him being killed off the make way for an incredibly unpopular female VP is like the perfect summation of how conservatives saw the 2024 election, so even though Ben obviously wrote her to be a Hillary stand-in he basically predicted Kamala Harris but was too early to capture the zeitgeist and too stupid to try and pull a "I predicted the future" grift in 2024
This works SO WELL as an unintentional parody of Tom Clancy novels
I hope May 2020 is making Kendrick Malone proud 🙏🙏🙏
I've listened to this over a dozen times. This is deep fried gold.
The only people that ever read Ben’s book are lefty TH-camrs/podcasters making fun of it.
"Lieutenant General Buck Hardcock was standing in a place"
holy shit....this book is terrible
Your take on this “book” is pure gold. Makes tom Clancy sound like Dostoevsky by comparison.
As for US generals dying in action in the last 100 years …At least one American general died in action In Vietnam. Same fur Korean War. Also in Korea one American general, after his unit was overrun by the the North Korean army was captured. This two star general was manning a bazooka when captured!
Multiple US generals died in WW2
Recently I’ve discovered an entire genre of “right wing military fiction” I wish I could go back in time and save my eyes from being defiled.
Well there’s Tom Clancy.
Yeah it sucks as some of the authors were pretty good until they discovered how many more books they could sell if they wrote everything as just right wing fantasy porn.

“Oh no, our top guy was blown up in an air strike instead of escaping a tactical extraction by the Americans”

6'3 215 bear of a man...for context Randy Moss, a skinny wide receiver, was 6'4 210. I guess those 5 extra pounds were nothing but muscle...
ben cant even try to envision proportions of a person taller than 5'7
saintdenis11 I guess Ben Shapiro just perceives anybody taller than 5’7” and heavier than 116 pounds as being a “bear of a man”.
The background music as they read is perfect
There is nothing I hate more than American Exceptionalism. I absolutely hate how conservatives seem to have this hollowed view of the US. It's just a democracy, one that is clearly deeply flawed and incapable of addressing these flaws.
Conservatives' take on American Exceptionalism is very shallow. Perhaps intentionally.
