The woman has her child so scared of Isis that she sleeps in their bed every night. There's no room for intimacy for her and her husband. I bet their relationship is suffering because of this derangement of their daughter.
Papa Franciscus what the fuck are you talking about? I don't like religions. The ones that I respect the most as the Jewish & Christian faiths. Just because I choose to have sex before marriage doesn't effect your fucking countries. Get lost
Papa Franciscus yeah good way to try and get people to feel the way you do. People like you are the reason I'm not fucking religious. People can be good without religion, get that through your damn head
Ben, you seem to consistently ignore the history of the Middle East and our involvement in its destabilization for decades. If Assad is bad, ISIS is at least 10 times worse and our actions in the Middle East caused the creation of ISIS. If you're going to mourn the deaths of innocents, then you should be criticizing OUR involvement, not blaming Russia for the choosing the lesser of two evils in a situation that WE put them in right on their border. If Russia was causing chaos for decades in Mexico and Latin America and we decided to step in to avoid extremist fringe groups from taking over the region, who would you be criticizing then?
How can you say the Americans created ISIS? Assad is the reason why ISIS became so strong, ISIS is what it is because of Assad and his father. If it wasn't for him, there wouldn't have been an civil war, which ISIS exploited. The U.S. was involved because of the Cold War. You think that was wrong? You think letting the Soviets expand their control and influence was a good thing? It's also hypocritical that you blame the U.S. but not Russia, even though it was Russia's fault that the Americans were there in the first place. On top of that, it's Russia's support for Assad's family that caused the civil war in the first place.
"Assad is the reason why ISIS became so strong" We literally trained and armed ISIS. We caused the destabilization in Iraq and the creation of the Al-Nusra Front from which ISIS is an off-shoot. If you think ISIS would have become what they are today without the help of the US, then you just don't understand what has happened in the region for the last 10 years.
Dude, the Al-Nusra Front is a branch of Al-Qaeda. I can't even have a conversation with you about this because this would just turn into me giving you a history lesson.
Rachel Goettling That's why I mentioned Al Qaeda, you're just looking for anything to avoid providing proof. The U.S. did not train ISIS and you still have no evidence of such an absurd claim. Just claiming something doesn't make it true. By the way, I do know the history. You're assuming you know what I know. Which is not an argument.
There's something I don't understand. How can it be "convenient" to you to kill your baby? It's like asking me to fathom a situation in which it is "convenient" to me to kill my mom. If you tell me that my mom (who is retired and lives with me) has a disease that requires me to buy her medicine for 1000$ a month, I will fucking do it, I will not say "nah it's more convenient to just kill her off now". I would take a second job, my brother would help, I would refinance the house, I would organize my life and do what I can AROUND that consideration : keeping my mom alive and well. If you are pregnant, you should organize your life AROUND this event, to prepare yourself to welcome the baby. The husband should find a job if he doesn't have one, you should prepare a room for the baby, maybe finish your studies, or negotiate with your employer a maternity leave, ask your parents to help if you're in difficulty, etc. But the killing of the baby should not even come in question, because it is YOUR BABY, how can you consider THE KILLING OF YOUR BABY a solution, I just don't understand. And by the way, this whole "not being ready" argument sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me: my grand-mother had TEN children, the first one at the age of 17, he died when he was 3 years old, and then there was the war of independance of Algeria in 1954, and when my grandfather (who was in France during the war) came back, she had NINE CHILDREN BACK TO BACK EVERY YEAR FROM 1963 to 1973 (the reason it stopped is because my grandmother had her Fallopian tubes cut). She was a stay at home mom, she had no support from her family, my grand-father was an administrative agent in a hospital, he was making maybe the equivalent of 100$ per month, and he gave one third of that money to his own sick mother because his father had died in the war. And they had a 2-bedroom apartment. And all the children turned out fine, most of them are high school teachers now, my uncle is a bank manager, my aunt is a doctor, my mom teaches math in high school, my other aunts are English and math teachers, my uncles are Arabic and Science teachers, my other uncle is a petroleum engineer and my other uncle is an electrical engineer. So this whole "convenience" thing sounds to me just like the whining of an incapable and narcissistic generation, who went as far as flushing basic moral principles common to all societies since the dawn of humanity down the toilet just to indulge in irresponsible fornication. Not fucking impressed.
Mokhtar Elbachir I'm not for abortion but at the same time, I know all people are inherently selfish and most (52%?) were sexually irresponsible when it comes to getting an abortion. It's just humans being human. How do we solve that? I don't think we can. We can only limit it. I think we should give out free IUDs and teach kids that a condom alone isn't effective enough and that you will end up unhappy, poor and unpopular forever if you have kids as a teen.
I'm not religious, but I had a religious education (both Christian and Muslim, Muslim through my family, Christian because my mother sent me to church for some reason), and I have come to think that these religions make sense in terms of sexual etiquette. Therefore my opinion on the subject probably won't please you: I am against the trivialization of sexuality and of fornication in particular. I think sex should become a sacred garden again, not trivialized nor joked about, nudity not depicted everywhere like it is today. And monogamous relations in marriage should be the only good way of having sex. And I think this is the right thing not because it is written in a religious book, but because it is a moral rule so great and so effective that people in the past turned it into a sacred law. Everything else will go from here: stronger families, stronger couples, less divorce, less abortions (I agree that abortions will never be eradicated, and those performing abortions should then be jailed; I also think that it would be stupid to penalize abortions today and not work on the regeneration of the sense of morality, family and modesty in society first), less economic precarity (because more solidarity in the family), more happiness overall.

I don't think anyone would argue that being married to someone you love is worse than having random hookups your entire life. But not everyone has found that love or is ready to commit. That is the start of the argument.
"I don't think anyone would argue that being married to someone you love is worse than having random hookups your entire life." Statistics and culture say otherwise: in the name of "love" (translate: short-term passion, and not real "love" in the sense of long-time construction), adultery is seen as a perfectly acceptable thing to do in films, TV series, dramas, romances, etc., and betrayal of your wife and children is never shunned or depicted as despicable, and nearly half (if not 2/3) of marriages end in divorces... There isn't the beginning of a "logical" argument for monogamy and marriage and against casual sex, it's all seen as being stuck-up and following what's written in "some book" retardedly and not "living life to the fullest". You know it is true. "But not everyone has found that love or is ready to commit. " Then don't have sex. It's not vital.
Tensions between Russia and America will always be there, Russia and America will continue to cover their own back. I'd rather they continue their frienamies status as noting will change there. As for WikiLeaks, I've never had a problem with them exposing injustice weather it conflicts with my personal bias or not....
ben i sad to say i don't think people in 100 years will say abortion is evil because they will refuse to except the facts because they don't want the inconvenience of responsibility for a child
Okay. Then debate me. Islamists have openly threatened the west and is currently enslaving people creating a war killing people and creating refugees. If this was about resources, we would be doing much more
Veljko Sindjelic Those are only problems, as we can see in history, if big government exists. If people wanted to change the market to a more efficient one, a consensual capitalist market is the best way to do so.
I am only a padawan, but I binge watch master Shapiro in hopes that some of his genius will rub off on me. Ready yourselves leftists, I will be a full fledged Jedi one day.
Damn that mom for educating her kid. How dare a 14 year old understand that a freedom is at risk. How come Republicans care more about the unborn then those who are alive.
Ben, I dare you to interview President Assad, and hold the same opinion of Syria. Remember, we already know that our administration is deceitful. I have interviewed a nurse with doctors without boarders..she gave a very different perspective.
you are truly a fucking idiot. shapiro called the war in syria, a civil war which is untrue. he also refers to putin as part of syrias problem as well as assad. niether of which are true. the problem in syria is the U.S. government, nato, qatar and saudi, using terrorists to overthrow a soveriegn gov because saudi wants a fkn pipeline. our gov did the same shit in lybia because they dumped our petro dollar for the gold dinar to trade oil. same as sadaam in iraq. so no, i am in no way shape or form pro regime change. oh, forgot to mention ukraine as well. i was calling ben out on the msm and gov lies regarding syria and the rest. he was spouting the standard gov line. are we clear now? or are you still far too ignorant to understand?
Javier Bustamante boy you truly are fkn thick. obviously you are far and away too stupid to figure out we are on the same side of the issues, both against the dear leader obama and his neocon/libcon fkn warmonger globalists. might want to look those words up. that is if your half a brain cell can make sense of the definition, without overloading itself. capitalism hasn't existed since your boy, billy clinton. maybe even prior. pay attention now, jackass. lil history lesson for you. Americas first downfall.. voting the federal reserve to life. second, the military industrial complex. third, the petro dollar. I'll leave it to you, to discover why.. good luck.
+Javier Bustamante please don't use racial slurs. I'm not a fan of Obama but when you call him names like that it just makes us all look bad and gives the left ammunition. If you dislike Obama, dislike him on principle, not because he's black.
1337penguinman How come? So its another border, do we stop tyranny and evil? Or like the Holocaust, do we do nothing? Make up your mind, either we suck for minding our own bussiness at the cost of millions, or we stop it. Whats your choice?
Military action should only be used in defense. And if it is going to be used, it should be done lawfully, i.e. via a declared war. We are trillions of dollars in debt. That absolute last thing we need to be doing is intervening overseas in illegal undeclared wars of aggression.
I'm hardly flaming mad. That's funny. Iran can fund themselves as well. You think it's ok to funnel hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign government? Wake up and smell the coffee
GrocksMedia and the difference between Shapiro and Jones is the difference between Trotsky and Stalin or Bachunin and Rosa Luxemberg. They might kill each other parsing their lunatic beliefs but I'll be damned if I can spot the difference.
I love your view on how important children are, if only I could find someone near where I live that shares a similar view (preferably minus the god part, most Christians nearby are a little weird)
+Hayden Gregoire ---> Which "facts" are you referring to? Russians bombing hospitals, or how about the wage gap, or the epidemic of police shooting blacks due to systemic racism. Easy to call something a "fact" when you agree with the narrative.
just one question: is what happened in aleppo really genocide because everyone knows that in modern warfare civilians are killed, especially in city fighting.
Ben does support the decision for abortion when arguing at the margins. In other words, a mother's life is in jeopardy and rape/incest cases. I stand with this. Anyone with common sense would agree. However, people do need to make better decision in their life and not kill someone because of x,y,and z reasons.
Good points, but I really dislike your religious argument on abortion and the miracles of everyday life. You claim to never reject any debate, then I would like to see you vs Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, or even Bill Mahr on the value and legitimacy of religion. Of course I'm not denying you the right to your own religious beliefs, I just think that given the separation of church and state you should keep your arguments more secular.
C'mon Obama. Were those billions of dollars in different currencies doing what you hoped? I suppose it depends on what your expectations are? Based on your opinions of Israel, Syria isn't that target of choice to you.
US elements, directly for some, indirectly for others and a volatile mix for the remaining, has supported the worst genocides to occur in its entire history but namely the twentieth century. Read Anthony Sutton and learn the US role in Russia, Nazi germany, China and how we facilitated both sides of the biggest and bloodiest conflicts. War and geopolitical strife is incredibly lucrative and has operated under these auspices for millennia but somehow I don't think Ben wants to change that. He'd rather we fight the threat of genocide by continuing policies that only seem to result in genocide. I need to see a willing commitment to ending this deleterious course.
The UN Has no interest in stopping the Muslim mess in the Middle East. They want it to get so out of hand so as to convince the world that we need some sort of unified government solution.
Abortion is horrible I agree but the thought of someone being FORCED to have a baby is worst. If somebody don't want their baby they won't have one with or without the government. It could get ugly and ppl don't seem to understand that
jameltanderson No one FORCED anyone to have sex outside of a marriage or have it unprotected, most abortions are done for their convenience and are a way for us to live with our irresponsible lives
Evan Gorczynski people can have sex when and how they want to. How u gonna try to dictate when somebody can have sex 😂 that is ridiculous .All I was saying is if the government stop abortions people WILL take things in their own hands and it could get ugly
You her of. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. One word you need to look at life the right to live your life meaning you don't have the right to kill your children
Ben is very good when it comes to politics and criticizing SJWs etc, but he doesn't seem to have a clue as to what is going on in Syria and what the US does with its military. I get it, he's a conservative, but a logically minded conservative would admit that the US started the shit in Syria. They funded the "moderate rebels" (terrorists), and have directly supported ISIS's efforts FFS! The only hypocrisy in that Samantha Powers clip is that the US (and it's allies to some extent, you know, like Saudi Arabia...) is the real ones responsible for the crises. Just like in Libya and Yemen, and in many other places around the world, it's the US that uses military power to force regime change that suits their imperialistic goals.
That would be my suspicion, sadly. Yet people uncritically parrot this stuff. Instead of telling them they are idiots, I always ask what evidence there is. So far what I've heard is some anonymous official in the CIA was quoted in the Wash Post. Not very convincing.
I guess that makes Pascal, Newton, Galileo, Bacon, Descartes, Kepler, Boyle, Mendel and even to a certain extent, Darwin himself, JUST NOT SMART ENOUGH.
lol whats ur Point? These Guys lives in complete different Time than Ben. Their true Believes is not knowledgeable for us and U. And in Darwin case i know he growth distance to the Idea of a Christian God. The thing is these Guys, as i know, dont argue their Discoveries/Worldviews with the Help of God, But that Ben uses God as his lifeguide, and thats a Problem.
Hiob s Yeah, claims are just claims if they have no valid warrants, but you did say that he's not smart enough to not believe in a god. Either way, what he believes about a god doesn't universally invalidate his arguments, as you said that he's quite intelligent, and it's not that relevant to what he's saying. You can't exactly say that if he doesn't believe something, then his credibility in other areas decreases to accommodate for that. Besides, it also depends on what you mean by "smart". Regardless, religion is not an issue he needs to bring up in order to effectively discuss things like Black Lives Matter, Feminism, etc. Whether his belief in God is valid or not, that's not his goal. He is intelligent concerning the issues he addresses, but his religion is separate.
BEN I DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ THESE COMMENTS BUT I WAS WATCHING ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND WANTED TO MAKE A POINT. I AGREE WITH MOST OF WHAT YOU SAY ON CLIMATE CHANGE BUT I WANTED YOU TO UNDERSTAND. WHAT I MEAN IS THIS. I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE AGAINST REGULATIONS, LOOK WE ARE BOTH FROM LA AND YOU KNOW THE BIG CLOUD OF SMOG ABOVE OUR CITY, AND WEATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT ME AND YOU ARE BREATHING THAT YELLOW SMOG EVERYDAY. NOW WE CAN BOTH AGREE THAT THE NUMBER 1 CAUSE OF THE SMOG IS CARS. NOW IMAGINE BECAUSE OF REGULATIONS 10 YEARS FROM NOW THERE IS ALMOST NO MORE PETROL ENGINES ON THE ROADS, I BET IF YOU LOOK AT OUR CITY THEN THAT WHOLE CLOUD OF SMOG MIGHT NOT EVEN BE THERE AND WE CAN FEEL BETTER IN KNOWING THAT WE ARE NOT BREATHING THAT SHIT. DON'T YOU THINK WE HAVE TO TRY TO SUPPORT ENVIRONMENTALIST IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THAT CLOUD. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Mostly because they are obsessed with it. Hitlary was championing very late term abortions, partial birth abortions. It's another issue where lefties take no responsibility for themselves and wants more big daddy government to fix all their damn problems, even in the bedroom.
GONINSANE You would have had a point, 2-3 decades ago or more. Conservatives certainly are not obsessed with banning abortions these days as there are many other issues to worry about. The party understands the issue, but completely disagree with partial birth abortions for what I believe are obvious reasons. Plus, why does the government have to pay for the procedure when birth control is also funded out of our taxes? How many times do taxpayers have to foot the bill for idiotic behavior?
Mostly Again, it is relevant when the taxpayer is funding it. How is this illogical when it is part of state and federal funding paid for by working citizens?
well Ben see having children does compromise life you once could take any amount of naps you wanted and go out every friday. With children you can't. However here is the kicker having a child is like some billionaire walking up to you and handing you a brick of gold in exchange for an ounce of lead. children are fantastic and it gives you the ability to bond with your parents with your new child and now your parents have a grandchild. so in my opinion abortion is the disregard for human life for the sake of convenience.
Don't worry I'm still a fan LOL, but I don't think Vladimir Putin is one of the most people evil people in the world I just don't. not perfect, but i do believe he has honor. if im wrong ill concede, but that's just how i feel.
You give them the right information, making the chance they will make poor decisions much less likely - if they make them anyway, you support them but you don't condone it.
The woman has her child so scared of Isis that she sleeps in their bed every night. There's no room for intimacy for her and her husband. I bet their relationship is suffering because of this derangement of their daughter.
CoolPatroler ---might explain why the kid is worried about abortion!!! 11 is a little old to sleep with mom and dad !!!
I told my dad I wanted a watch for Christmas,so he let me.
The woman off the view needs to get one of the beds that Ben advertises for her deranged child
0:20 I almost fucking slammed my head against my wall in anger
In defense, sex without a condom is A1. 😂

Papa Franciscus what the fuck are you talking about? I don't like religions. The ones that I respect the most as the Jewish & Christian faiths. Just because I choose to have sex before marriage doesn't effect your fucking countries. Get lost
Papa Franciscus I just say fuck all religions. Raise your kids right, as simple as that. You don't need some fairytales to lead the way
IllDillWill edgy
Papa Franciscus yeah good way to try and get people to feel the way you do. People like you are the reason I'm not fucking religious. People can be good without religion, get that through your damn head

The U.S. was involved because of the Cold War. You think that was wrong? You think letting the Soviets expand their control and influence was a good thing? It's also hypocritical that you blame the U.S. but not Russia, even though it was Russia's fault that the Americans were there in the first place. On top of that, it's Russia's support for Assad's family that caused the civil war in the first place.

We literally trained and armed ISIS. We caused the destabilization in Iraq and the creation of the Al-Nusra Front from which ISIS is an off-shoot. If you think ISIS would have become what they are today without the help of the US, then you just don't understand what has happened in the region for the last 10 years.
Rachel Goettling The US did not train ISIS, that's a baseless claim. You need to support that ridiculous claim.
ISIS branched off from Al Qaeda.
Dude, the Al-Nusra Front is a branch of Al-Qaeda. I can't even have a conversation with you about this because this would just turn into me giving you a history lesson.
Rachel Goettling That's why I mentioned Al Qaeda, you're just looking for anything to avoid providing proof. The U.S. did not train ISIS and you still have no evidence of such an absurd claim. Just claiming something doesn't make it true.
By the way, I do know the history. You're assuming you know what I know. Which is not an argument.
There's something I don't understand.
How can it be "convenient" to you to kill your baby? It's like asking me to fathom a situation in which it is "convenient" to me to kill my mom. If you tell me that my mom (who is retired and lives with me) has a disease that requires me to buy her medicine for 1000$ a month, I will fucking do it, I will not say "nah it's more convenient to just kill her off now".
I would take a second job, my brother would help, I would refinance the house, I would organize my life and do what I can AROUND that consideration : keeping my mom alive and well.

Not fucking impressed.
Mokhtar Elbachir I'm not for abortion but at the same time, I know all people are inherently selfish and most (52%?) were sexually irresponsible when it comes to getting an abortion. It's just humans being human. How do we solve that? I don't think we can. We can only limit it. I think we should give out free IUDs and teach kids that a condom alone isn't effective enough and that you will end up unhappy, poor and unpopular forever if you have kids as a teen.

Dang the quality of the show has really improved.
I was on the fence about abortion, but the influence of people like Ben have solidified my stance against it.
This isn't about innocent lives, it's about oil, natural gas, money, power, influence. You know this, and everybody else does. Stop with the bullshit.
Ok, when you start offending me, I stop responding to you.

How is a guy this smart not an atheist???
HUGE FAN! I literally had to hide my views all through highschool and I’m DONE
Republicans are going to raid my womb? hahahaha
How about we stop trying to stick our nose in the rest of the world's problems. It's not our job nor our right.
1337penguinman How come? So its another border, do we stop tyranny and evil? Or like the Holocaust, do we do nothing? Make up your mind, either we suck for minding our own bussiness at the cost of millions, or we stop it. Whats your choice?
That is exactly what Islamic terrorists is doing. They see stuff that they consider injustice in America and they attack.
I'm liking Ben the more I listen to him, but he lost me at Santa Claus blessing his life
Please link your promotions :)
Love your stuff, keep it up
Womb Raider was the worst sequel ever
I am so disappointed with the left and the right
It's always confused me that women will vote based on abortion... I'm like how many abortions do you plan on having.
Ben your kids are almost exactly the same age as mine 😂
allison do you live in LA? let me take you out
ALEX C MON MANNN STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND AND PEEPEE BLOCKING ME. SEE LOOK IM USING ALL CAPS AGAIN. YOU LIKE THAT?
ALLISON you have such a beautiful smile i wish you lived in LA and let me take you out to dinner. you like sushi?
if you let me you wont regret me, if you let me you wont forget me
Lmao thank you, but I'm married! This is a weird thread hahahaha
Love the bit on abortion around @1:30 until the cut.
I like Ben, but his affinity for intervention is unfortunate.
9thchild And why is that?
Military action should only be used in defense. And if it is going to be used, it should be done lawfully, i.e. via a declared war. We are trillions of dollars in debt. That absolute last thing we need to be doing is intervening overseas in illegal undeclared wars of aggression.
I think the idea is if we don't intervene, we're letting Russia win.
Win what? Being afraid of Russia is asinine. Do you know what their GDP is?
Russia has one-upped US in Iran and Syria. Turkey and Iraq are next. Eventually it'll be Putin's Middle-East against Israel
Ben Shapiro is a great person.
I love watching Ben but watching him advertising something feels so weird lol
i really love the obscure products being advertised like on the radio. ben is a god tho...
For such a meticulous commentator, Shapiro's position on abortion is almost solely one based on emotion, not objectivity.
Why is the US responsible for giving Israel hundreds of millions of dollars to support their military. Sick of this shit
Because they are what's called an ally.
Good I expect them to show up next time we go to war
It's actually 38 billion. I was off by billions sorry
Joe T lol they gave more to Iran why tf are you not flaming mad at that?
I'm hardly flaming mad. That's funny. Iran can fund themselves as well. You think it's ok to funnel hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign government? Wake up and smell the coffee
I'm fucking first, that's right, me. ME.
I disagree that Trump won't take action upon Russian aggression. I guess we'll have to wait a few years and see.
You're the only Republican who can raid my womb Ben
I'm done
fear. America's currency.
You can't like Putin, but you can't hate him either. What's the solution?
indifference?
You guys have Alex Jones so don't start pointing fingers.
"satire" and also alex is a republican and ben is libertarian
GrocksMedia what does "satire" inscare quotes mean?
GrocksMedia and the difference between Shapiro and Jones is the difference between Trotsky and Stalin or Bachunin and Rosa Luxemberg. They might kill each other parsing their lunatic beliefs but I'll be damned if I can spot the difference.
GrocksMedia although Shapiro doesn't claim Clinton is literally chopping up babies. I don't think.
I love your view on how important children are, if only I could find someone near where I live that shares a similar view (preferably minus the god part, most Christians nearby are a little weird)
It's sad hearing Shapiro regurgitating MSM talking points on Assad, Syria and Putin.
somfplease Facts don't become nonfacts just because they are repetitious.
+Hayden Gregoire ---> Which "facts" are you referring to? Russians bombing hospitals, or how about the wage gap, or the epidemic of police shooting blacks due to systemic racism. Easy to call something a "fact" when you agree with the narrative.
This title is beneath you Ben. I'm a leftist and watch your show all the time. Am I batshit crazy?
Bryant Kauk you realize that ben doesn't control this channel right?
just one question: is what happened in aleppo really genocide because everyone knows that in modern warfare civilians are killed, especially in city fighting.
bob marley thanks
Ben does support the decision for abortion when arguing at the margins. In other words, a mother's life is in jeopardy and rape/incest cases. I stand with this. Anyone with common sense would agree. However, people do need to make better decision in their life and not kill someone because of x,y,and z reasons.
Good points, but I really dislike your religious argument on abortion and the miracles of everyday life. You claim to never reject any debate, then I would like to see you vs Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, or even Bill Mahr on the value and legitimacy of religion. Of course I'm not denying you the right to your own religious beliefs, I just think that given the separation of church and state you should keep your arguments more secular.
Ah man, I liked what this guy had to say, but after hearing his unrealistic and backwards view on abortion I'm not that into him anymore.
I don't agree with Ben on the Syria issue.
How is it a genocide if it's not against a specific group
Sherman Bernard It's not. It's manipulative wording to colour the argument. C
C'mon Obama. Were those billions of dollars in different currencies doing what you hoped? I suppose it depends on what your expectations are? Based on your opinions of Israel, Syria isn't that target of choice to you.
US elements, directly for some, indirectly for others and a volatile mix for the remaining, has supported the worst genocides to occur in its entire history but namely the twentieth century.
Read Anthony Sutton and learn the US role in Russia, Nazi germany, China and how we facilitated both sides of the biggest and bloodiest conflicts.
War and geopolitical strife is incredibly lucrative and has operated under these auspices for millennia but somehow I don't think Ben wants to change that.
He'd rather we fight the threat of genocide by continuing policies that only seem to result in genocide. I need to see a willing commitment to ending this deleterious course.
Whoopi in a Harambe vest.
what is the difference between sperm cells and the cells that are lost during an abortion
Ben Angrey in thumbnail
Ben aren't we in trouble enough without trying to help other countries? The whole thing of if we aren't doing well how can we help anyone else.
Shapiro seems to be towing hella party lines in this video
Don't know about the rest, but the sixth comment is the best
You're overly focused on abortion; you won't gain traction on that issue.
Ben how can you support the u.n.??
how about the UN actually do something about syria. we are not the world's police.
The UN Has no interest in stopping the Muslim mess in the Middle East. They want it to get so out of hand so as to convince the world that we need some sort of unified government solution.
Abortion is horrible I agree but the thought of someone being FORCED to have a baby is worst. If somebody don't want their baby they won't have one with or without the government. It could get ugly and ppl don't seem to understand that
jameltanderson No one FORCED anyone to have sex outside of a marriage or have it unprotected, most abortions are done for their convenience and are a way for us to live with our irresponsible lives
Evan Gorczynski people can have sex when and how they want to. How u gonna try to dictate when somebody can have sex 😂 that is ridiculous .All I was saying is if the government stop abortions people WILL take things in their own hands and it could get ugly
jameltanderson I'm not trying to dictate it but when they want my tax dollars to publicly fund and support their abortions it becomes my concern.
i propose to change the name of your show the ben shapirSHOW lol big fan ben
Spooky thumbnail Ben
Hahaha holy shit, Ben is doing the same Helix Sleep ad as Bill Burr. Sorry, but Bill Burr does a much funnier read.
You her of. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. One word you need to look at life the right to live your life meaning you don't have the right to kill your children
Ben is very good when it comes to politics and criticizing SJWs etc, but he doesn't seem to have a clue as to what is going on in Syria and what the US does with its military. I get it, he's a conservative, but a logically minded conservative would admit that the US started the shit in Syria. They funded the "moderate rebels" (terrorists), and have directly supported ISIS's efforts FFS! The only hypocrisy in that Samantha Powers clip is that the US (and it's allies to some extent, you know, like Saudi Arabia...) is the real ones responsible for the crises. Just like in Libya and Yemen, and in many other places around the world, it's the US that uses military power to force regime change that suits their imperialistic goals.
And also your political arguments are incredibly strong but when it comes to advertising products by little brother selling lemonade is better
LOL @ #RussiaDidIt No more MSM for you
What evidence is there for Russian hacking? I haven't seen any.
Jim Belton they don't show any cause there is none...they just want you to believe them
That would be my suspicion, sadly. Yet people uncritically parrot this stuff. Instead of telling them they are idiots, I always ask what evidence there is. So far what I've heard is some anonymous official in the CIA was quoted in the Wash Post. Not very convincing.
The Ben is not stupid, but not smart enough to not believe in an Invisible Man in the Sky.
I guess that makes Pascal, Newton, Galileo, Bacon, Descartes, Kepler, Boyle, Mendel and even to a certain extent, Darwin himself, JUST NOT SMART ENOUGH.
lol whats ur Point? These Guys lives in complete different Time than Ben. Their true Believes is not knowledgeable for us and U. And in Darwin case i know he growth distance to the Idea of a Christian God. The thing is these Guys, as i know, dont argue their Discoveries/Worldviews with the Help of God, But that Ben uses God as his lifeguide, and thats a Problem.
Hiob s If you're going to call him stupid to a certain extent, justify your claim as he does when introducing claims and evidence.
Claims are just claims, and what evidence does he show for God , so why should i? I didnt say he´s Stupid quite the contrary dude.
Hiob s Yeah, claims are just claims if they have no valid warrants, but you did say that he's not smart enough to not believe in a god. Either way, what he believes about a god doesn't universally invalidate his arguments, as you said that he's quite intelligent, and it's not that relevant to what he's saying. You can't exactly say that if he doesn't believe something, then his credibility in other areas decreases to accommodate for that. Besides, it also depends on what you mean by "smart". Regardless, religion is not an issue he needs to bring up in order to effectively discuss things like Black Lives Matter, Feminism, etc. Whether his belief in God is valid or not, that's not his goal. He is intelligent concerning the issues he addresses, but his religion is separate.
how is putin evil?
Capitalist, because he's socialist?
BEN I DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ THESE COMMENTS BUT I WAS WATCHING ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND WANTED TO MAKE A POINT. I AGREE WITH MOST OF WHAT YOU SAY ON CLIMATE CHANGE BUT I WANTED YOU TO UNDERSTAND. WHAT I MEAN IS THIS. I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE AGAINST REGULATIONS, LOOK WE ARE BOTH FROM LA AND YOU KNOW THE BIG CLOUD OF SMOG ABOVE OUR CITY, AND WEATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT ME AND YOU ARE BREATHING THAT YELLOW SMOG EVERYDAY. NOW WE CAN BOTH AGREE THAT THE NUMBER 1 CAUSE OF THE SMOG IS CARS. NOW IMAGINE BECAUSE OF REGULATIONS 10 YEARS FROM NOW THERE IS ALMOST NO MORE PETROL ENGINES ON THE ROADS, I BET IF YOU LOOK AT OUR CITY THEN THAT WHOLE CLOUD OF SMOG MIGHT NOT EVEN BE THERE AND WE CAN FEEL BETTER IN KNOWING THAT WE ARE NOT BREATHING THAT SHIT. DON'T YOU THINK WE HAVE TO TRY TO SUPPORT ENVIRONMENTALIST IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THAT CLOUD. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Alexander The Great it does? hmm interesting.....
ok all i know we got a big cloud of smog above LA and the free markets never got rid of it
You'll still get about a quarter of that from China's air pollution. They'll never stop with fossil fuels.

How is abortion a left wing issue?
Mostly because they are obsessed with it. Hitlary was championing very late term abortions, partial birth abortions. It's another issue where lefties take no responsibility for themselves and wants more big daddy government to fix all their damn problems, even in the bedroom.
Maybe because conservatives are obsessed with getting rid of it which gives liberals more reason to constantly defend it.
GONINSANE You would have had a point, 2-3 decades ago or more. Conservatives certainly are not obsessed with banning abortions these days as there are many other issues to worry about. The party understands the issue, but completely disagree with partial birth abortions for what I believe are obvious reasons. Plus, why does the government have to pay for the procedure when birth control is also funded out of our taxes? How many times do taxpayers have to foot the bill for idiotic behavior?
BigBossIvan It seems illogical to use abortion (which is not specifically a socialist issue) to attack the left
Mostly Again, it is relevant when the taxpayer is funding it. How is this illogical when it is part of state and federal funding paid for by working citizens?
well Ben see having children does compromise life you once could take any amount of naps you wanted and go out every friday. With children you can't. However here is the kicker having a child is like some billionaire walking up to you and handing you a brick of gold in exchange for an ounce of lead. children are fantastic and it gives you the ability to bond with your parents with your new child and now your parents have a grandchild. so in my opinion abortion is the disregard for human life for the sake of convenience.
why are you telling kids this
Don't worry I'm still a fan LOL, but I don't think Vladimir Putin is one of the most people evil people in the world I just don't. not perfect, but i do believe he has honor. if im wrong ill concede, but that's just how i feel.
understand the concept, but mute.
Hey Ben I'm curious, what would you do (if anything) if your daughter grew up, got pregnant and aborted her baby?
Bob Feen Ben wouldn't have to do anything, she'd probably go to hell
The problem with your opinion is that Ben is a competent loving parent. His daughter won't grow up so trashy that she wants abortions.
IHATECOMPUTERS IHATECOMPUTERS It's called a hypothetical for a reason.
You give them the right information, making the chance they will make poor decisions much less likely - if they make them anyway, you support them but you don't condone it.
fuck it make it 5
hahaha raid your womb
