my left ear enjoyed this video
Lol I was wondering if my headphones were broken.
Haha
Maybe they did that on purpose… 😂
Why did you block me on Quora?
@ what? 🤣
Answer is obvious.
Joe Biden.
Nah.
Hunter Biden.
Even with his Dementia, Biden was still better than the other Democrat candidates in 2020.
Nah me
Al Gore???
Or Hillary Clinton.
The fact that Ben clapped when she said she became a Christian was pretty class of him.
Vance wins 322 to 216 against Newsom
you are a prophet. this is what the astrological charts show .
@ We’ll come back to this in 4 years 😂
Vance is very unpopular
How
@@ianrobinson4200 He literally is not
Josh Shapiro will get it. Maybe see Wes Moore, Andy Beshear or Gretchen Whitmer as VP.
Shapiro/Whitmer would be a ticket I'd worry about if I were a Republican. Two popular governors from must-win swing states. If that's the ticket and they flip Wisconsin back to blue (which was the smallest margin in 2024 btw) then that's the blue wall. All they need to do then is not lose any other blue states and Dems win in 2028. Shapiro/Whitmer is the ticket that makes the most sense electorally.
How about Robert de Niro?
Mark Cuban?
Jimmy Kimmel?
Andy what's his last name?
Celebrities to turn politician like Trump.
You never know!
😅😅😅😅😅😅
And we will win!
What about Anthony Fauci or Hillary Clinton? They're perfect. Or even better, Dianne Feinestein. She's about the right age to lead the party.
Bro didn’t even mention Andy Beshear or Josh Shapiro at all.
It’s going to be Gov Shapiro
If you think Ben would run as a democrat you don’t really know him well 😂
Of Israel?
@@TheOne-tf7tp He's talking about Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania
@@katanabluejay Ben is Gov of Daily Wire so we really have no idea of who he was referring to
Its josh shapiro from Pennsylvania USA
Take a guess who the perp was in the horrific NYC subway story (but if you guess correctly, your post will be blocked or account suspended)
I don't understand?? Why? Is it cultural or racial or religious?
@@ghosty426First, it’s amazing we can’t get the media to even cover it..but, just think: “Laken Riley”
The usual.
Yeah, someone who broke the rules and should have done papers legally....
That whole situation is so horrific. I watched the video and was so sick to my stomach. I am a grown ass man, and it made me want to cry. I don't recommend anyone watch it.
The failure of Shapiro to mention another Shapiro - Josh Shapiro the Governor of Pennsylvania - tells everyone who the Republicans fear in 2028.
Shapiro is a popular Governor with a 60% approval rating in a large swing state, a great communicator & is an obvious political talent. He received a lot of good publicity as the leading & most obvious candidate to be Harris’s VP. Harris’s decision to select Walz is now seen as a mistake but it helped Shapiro escape any blame for the loss.
Whats the point if saying “point blank?” 😂
YES so sick of this.
it's obnoxious!
The dictionary is your friend.
@@THall-vi8cp yup, and in this case it doesn't apply
@dizzy_jump
It does. It might be unnecessary or overused, but it isn't incorrect.
He didnt mentioned Shapiro
Because he seem as threat
@@Elviscasillasagreed
Shapiro is the only good people
I nominate Black Santa for the Democratic leadership.
"I left atheism and socialism to become a Christian and conservative thanks to you Ben" This is the guy who grifters and bad actors like Mark Dice and Candace Owens want us to fight instead of the left.
So true! thank you
Mark Dice seems jealous of people like Ben and Charlie Kirk. I used to like Mark when he would just talk to random people on the street. Now he just makes click bait videos and rants against other conservatives who don’t pass his purity tests.
@@followerofchrist3125 I already unsubscribed from him. Fake conservatives who just grift against other conservatives piss me off almost as much as leftist.
hmm... didn't mention Joshapiro
Stop putting “point blank” in the titles, he’s not getting shot, he’s getting asked a question directly
What about Josh Shapiro?
It’s funny that he’s making jokes when Trump is selling out the White House to Elon Musk. Focus on your own house first.
Unless the Democratic party changes they will just keep skipping past him. In the past 10+ years the Dems (not including Islam) have been pretty anti-religion. Unless something changes in 2028 your probably looking at a Gavin Newsom heading the Dem ticket.
@@chasekemp6642How is he selling the house to Elon Musk. Y’all are just gaslighting yourselves at this point.
He’s probably their best option but the democrats’ base is very pro-Palestine so he’d have a difficult time winning the party nomination. He’s also very bland so he’d struggle to enthuse the democratic base to actually turn out to vote.
Popularity in Pennsylvania doesn’t necessarily translate to nation wide success.
1:53 Huh... 'Worrier' and 'warrior' are homophones that I never noticed.
They aren’t really homophones
@TheOne-tf7tp Might depend on the accent I guess.
He didn't even say the top 2: Whitmer and Shapiro
Shapiro is way stronger and will be thebheavy frontrunner after 2026.
6 words, he doesn't want them to run. Why you may ask, because they can win.
@@carsontam8385exactly
Newsom wouldn’t win
Pritzker wouodnt win
AOC wouodnt win
So he mentions them
@Britboy404 I can guarantee Newsom and Pritzker, but AOC is a hard one. On one hand she can generate a lot of youth turnout for her, second she's extremely popular like Shapiro is with independents and the working class. Thirdly she has a certain appeal with Trump supporters so she could win but it's still pretty early to tell.
@ honestly I’d hope AOC would win, I definitely prefer her to other candidates. I think she’d win if the republicans and trump have a bad four years
Ben didn’t know he was a Christian evangelist until this night. Must be very proud!
He always tells people to embrace their religious faith.
The0True0Ratmousit is capitalism key? Or does believing in imaginary spirits cause a problem for the economy?
I made the joke after Hillary Clinton lost that 'the real problem with this result is that Kim Kardashian will end up being our fitst female president."
It seems like with the Democrat bench, we may be moving closer in that direction.
Trashy and repulsive, but at least has good business and marketing sense. She's pretty much already more qualified than AOC.
Josh Shapiro
The guy who signed bombs going to Ukraine? Wouldn't surprise me in our sick world if you're right.
America 1st..
Help the people affected by the hurricane instead of giving money to Israel and Ukraine
President Musk described hurricane funding as "pork" ad tried to have it removed from a CR.
We have a CR because Republicans again didn't pass any appropriations bills
But surely helping Ukraine helps western countries too
It’s an investment
They should give Jimmy Carter another chance for a second term.
This didn’t age well 😂
@@beastlymarek I guess not. I didn't get the news until I read your reply.
@@concernedliberal4453 definitely sad news
Dude pulled a Lichtman on us right here. RIP anyway!
I dont think that option is plausible anymore...
Also, to avoid the pendulum swinging back, you need to keep the center.
This time, the right won the center, don't lose it.
Trump appears to be playing to keep and increase the union vote.
I predict a wild card: Colorado Governor Jared Polis. Hey, they didn't predict Obama and Trump being nominees.
If not, probably Whitmer. Whoever predicts Josh Shapiro is counting their chickens before they hatched.
I love when the poster adds "point blank" to overdramatize nothingness.
If they are smart John Fetterman. They are not smart.
The base wouldn’t like that
he has already declined to run
@mryeetus6075 that is irrelevant for the DNC. They just select you or not.
How is that smart? Sure republicans like him but you generally should try to appeal to your own side with nominees
It’s only natural that the governor of a failed state would be next in line for the White House. And people on the left and right both say “yeah it makes total sense to nominate him” (nuisance). That’s the scary part for me. The most natural choice is someone who is a horrible failure of a governor who blew their state dry and forced thousands of their citizens to move away? Why is that the obvious choice?
people seem to forget Josh Shapiro, governor of Pennsylvania.
that guy is a copy-paste Obama 2.0 and seems competent enough to scheme and manipulate people. so he can actually be a real challenge to JD Vance.
but still, I don't see JD Vance losing to any Democrat in 2028.
I just hope VD Vance doesn't drop his balls and becomes a RINO.
Trump has the perfect level charisma, trolling and guts to mock stupid people that deserve to be mocked.
JD Vance is too much of a gentleman, nice and kinda boring. basically a boy scout instead of being a rebel rockstar.
Thousands? You underestimate him. It's 800,000 in just the past 2 years alone.
It’s going to be Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania
Shapiro would make Ohio and Iowa swing states again, although I doubt he'd actually win them.
I just fera that the republicans notice that he’s the clear best candidate so spend 4 years tearing into him or sabotaging his governorship
It will be Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania.
How do you guys not know how to make the audio mono
But how can we guarantee Ben’s loyalty to the USA?….🎉….Ben is good at debating school kids….he feels powerful?…🎉
Please please please nominate Ocazio Cortez.
And you know it would be "too close to call" because 45% of America will vote for whoever has a D after their name, and 90% of the media will call that a "tossup."
Harris/Cortez would be the most hilarious thing in the history of politics. It would be like dumb and dumber.
Whitmer is going to run
He forgot about Josh Shapiro
God I hope this video ages well.
Jimmy Carter still has some eligibility.
That's true. And his campaign slogan could be, "I am no longer the worst president in history."
Well, this comment aged very quickly. 😅
@@IslandUsurper I'll need a new joke 🤣
Its probably gonna be logan paul😂
The Lord loves America. I prayed so hard for this win. GOD IS GREAT! ✝️
Let's take an honest look at Ben Shapiro's record on predictions, it's shite.
He thought Trump was unelectable and DeSantis was a great nominee.
The fact is that they don't have anyone that is a viable candidate and that can win.
Probably the Governor of PA.
Shapiro and Newsom are the one to watch for. for different reasons
John Fetterman, I'm not even kidding
And not the guy whose coattails Fetterman rode to victory?
I think Whoopi Goldberg would be very sound pick.
Please no ... let's not talk about who's the DNC nominee.
Uh , The Dems have several GREAT governors that can/will run and Ben knows that! SMH
Maybe he doesn't know their names. As I don't. And apparently you don't, either.
@@kurtissjacobs5618 Uh, Ben makes HIS LIVING knowing politics. Give me a break!
Josh Shapiro, obviously.
Who cares what Shapiro thinks. He talks fast and stupid.
Why is he so bad at telling jokes?
I’m left wing but for me the more interesting question is who the republican is in 2028
Vance hardly seems like a winning candidate
The one I fear would be Josh hawley
Trump will probably remains king maker for the rest of his life within the Republican Party, so assuming he makes it I doubt anyone that’s not Uber loyal to him
I predict either John Hickenlooper of Colorado, Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Andy Beshear of KY, Chris Murphy of CT, or Martin Heinrich of NM.
Out of all of them I say Andy Beshear.
I think Moore has a decent chance
@@willfakaroni5808 Who is Moore?
@@emeraldcrusade5016 Wes Moore of Maryland
The failure to mention Josh Shapiro to Pennsylvania suggests that this is actually a man republicans fear
There’s also beshear Wes Moore and there still hasn’t been a proper reason against buttegeig other than the fact he’s gay
If democrats want to have a good shot, they need to put a “blue dog” at the top or the bottom of the ticket. The obvious candidate who appears as a blue dog is Andy Beshear .
Safe states like KY, TN, SC, will tilt D if Beshear gets picked. He has strong potential to fire up the blue rural vote
Dark horse Dem nominee: John Fetterman
1. Winning record as Vp Gov & Senator
2. Speaks clear, Tall presence, and unique dress
3. Independent positions and bring back dem base.
Trump guy in 20 and 24, but that’s my prediction
I love how he did not say the real bench Shapiro, Moore, beshear, ossof, Warwick. 3 out of the 5 would whip Vance’s ass(the republican party’s only candidate that could win a general election)
Probably Newsome 🙄
He won't win the primary lmao I think Dems would rather run Kamala again than have him as the nominee 😭
@@ragames7320 I think Josh Shapiro is the one
@gigachad740 well if Josh Shapiro wants to run in 2028 then he shouldn't run for reelection to the governorship in 2026. Because nobody wants to run a campaign, win, then run another one right after.
@@ragames7320 Oh my, they're both from CA wouldn't the feathers fly if they were both in the primary. There are even rumors that he is one of the guys who helped advance her political career.
@@kurtissjacobs5618 I heard it was the other way around.
Forbes Breaking News coming up with so many videos without right ear sounds is annoying
Whitmer
Let's let the Democratic part become a third party, and Independents become a new major party.
The Rock
Ruben Gallego
We arent worried about 2028 Ben. We worried about NOW. BE HERE NOW.
Dawg someone asked him that question and he had to answer it 😭
@ruspg3d701 he’s not wrong. We still gotta get Don to that White House without being killed. We are preppping our battle against the dark forces of the Illuminati. If they can do what they did to jfk, they can certainly do it to Trump. And Trump has promised to do way more cleaning than jfk. Prayers for the man now more than ever
IMO, the left will follow their normal process: "we did go far enough". So I expect a very far left politician. The guy from Pennsylvania would likely be the best, but the far left will push him out.
Nobody will push out Shapiro after he wins by a landslide in 2026.
JOSH SHAPIRO WILL WIN
America #1🇺🇲
Free America from AIPAC
I think Shapiro is AIPAC
Such a stupid question and answer. Ask yourself who the GOP nominee might have been after Obama won in 2012?
My answer in 2012 would have been Ted Cruz, and but for Donald Trump running, Cruz likely would have been the nominee. So yeah, you usually have a better idea who your candidate might be in 4 years than the Dems have right now.
Wouldn't be a bit surprised if it's either kamela newsom. They just don't learn!
If the Dems come back reformed, as in, with different leadership and an informed platform, it will be great for America even if they win. It's if they double down on their hedonistic anti-social philosophies that I pray their gift for branding fails again.
Governor Jared Polis Let’s Gooooo
J D fetterman democrat presidential nominee 2028.
I hope it doesn't matter
CAN THE DEMOCRATS BE ANY WORSE THAN THEY HAVE BEEN FROM 2021 TO NOW.
You may be too young to remember Jimmy Carter, who made Triple-Double a thing before the NBA started hyping it.
Fetterman keeps doing what he is doing and he could win.
I would say coward Newsom or Tim Walz
We can only hope they would nominate Tim Walz for the top of their ticket. Oh PLEASE let that happen!
id rather have both parties be not shit, i hate the left atm but the right isnt perfect either
Gavin Newsom with either Shapiro, Whitmer or Booker as his veep selection. Obviously on the GOP side it'll be Vance for the top spot and presumably either Youngkin, Scott (Fla.), Scott (S.C.), Rubio or DeSantis for veep. Either way it'll be close. A lot of Trump voters will stay home and not vote that cycle and no matter whom the Dems nominate that person couldn't possibly be as bad as Que Mala.
Hunter Biden
It really is a mystery who the Democrats could even field for 2028. Unless they manage to find a rising star in the party in the next four years they don’t even have a chance. Josh Shapiro is possible but even if he wins Pennsylvania we can still win with Michigan and Wisconsin. Who else could they field? Newsom? Buttigieg? Whitmer? None of these people could possibly win unless something goes horribly wrong with Trump’s second term.
1: Moore, beshear, or Shapiro all are decently popular with both their respected states and general voter
2: Trump going horrifically wrong is completely likely given his first term, he skates by elections with a hyper dedicated base and then gets very unpopular once is office, he’ll probably remain the Republican king maker even after he leaves office so anyone he selects would be tied to him in the public eye
What a shame the 1st lady spkg couldn't figure out that she could remain atheist & be very Right.
No, it's not a shame. While true that she could have, it is great that she found a religion that suits her.
Marc cuban
Beto!
Josh Shapiro, Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsome are the three likely candidates. Mayor Pete is a side show whose only calling card is his partner preference; if they want to run a “gay candidate”, there is a much better choice in Jared Polis. JB Pritzker has access to billions, and don’t rule out a moderate like Andy Bashear. But the one Republicans ought to fear most is Wes Moore. Democrats can’t quit the identity politics, but Moore is good on his merits as well. Young, military background, governor. He’d be formidable at the top or bottom of the ticket…
The problem is that not many people know of Wes Moore, he’s a bit of an unknown on the national stage.
@@Killerqueen69420honestly I think his book is famous enough, it was required reading in my school
Jon Stewart
Mike Obama 2028!!!
Conserv? Lol
Probably will be a celebrity or a no body to be able to look them up.
"...Only Rosie O'Donnell."
OMG! Not the ex-atheist facade.
If this were Christian turned Athiest I guarantee this comment wouldn't be here.
I’m confused as to how Ben Shapiro led someone to decide to become Christian. 🤔
Then you don't listen to him enough.
@ what would I hear? “Hey, look, Jesus is for sure not the son of God, I’ve looked into it and it’s for sure a false profit myth. But hey, you should believe it! Be a Christian!”
I’m glad she is a Christian. Not sure how Ben got her there, or why he seems happy or proud that he helped get her to what he considers a false belief.
well ben, who is gonna be the republican nominee? Elon or JD?
Elon wasn’t born in the States so not him, I think JD is the pretty clear heir apparent
Elon can't run for President
Ben Shapiro said his loyalty to the USA is dependent upon USA loyalty to Israel 🇮🇱 🎉😂😢❤
That's not what he said. He said his loyalty to the USA depends on Israel _existing_ as a Jewish nation. If you cannot comprehend that it's on you.
@ except that is not what he said…..it is on TH-cam, so unless you are in his pocket, it happened as I said…right?
@ now I am wondering how your mind thinks what you said is okay…conditions on loyalty to the USA?…why?
@@mrcountit I have seen the video, that's why I corrected you.
To understand the reason why, you need to know what happened to Jews between 1939 and 1945. Acceptance of Jews isn't guaranteed anywhere in the world, not even in the US. In fact, the amount of anti-Jewish hate crimes is exceptionally high in the US according to FBI reports. The reason Ben remains loyal to the USA and keeps fighting for a better future there is because he knows that in case 1939 repeats itself in the US there is the state of Israel now as an insurance.
@ keep thinking you can apply nuance to what is plain view…his loyalty depends on what is in it for himself….he is more Israeli than all the protesting Israelis?…💯
Beta Ben back at it🦹🏻♀️
people actually dont find his douche voice irritating?
Sweetie, you mixed up your tabs again, this isn’t a Kamala video
This guy is a joke
Stop promoting that genocide
denier.
