While Ben Shapiro is a good man, he has many bad takes in his program. He also however has many good informational episodes, more good than bad in fact, It can be good at times.

As you could probably tell from the people who gave this show a 1 Star, they are most likely hardcore liberals, or more commonly know on Shapiro's show as leftists. Now I'm neither right or left, but I grew up on the left and never really heard any solid arguments as to why people are conservative until I started listening to this show. People are accurate to say Ben is biased but he actually acknowledges his right biases on a regular basis. Pointing out the flaws of self proclaimed objectivity from main stream media outlets who typically only argue from one side of the isle. I don't always agree with his points, but to say he isn't an intelligent and articulate pundit is just false. If you're a person like me, smack dab in the middle of this crazy extreme political climate, and just want to hear good conservatives arguments to best form your own opinions you cannot find a better place to go than the Shapiro show.

I'm a left-leaning liberal, and even though I disagree with half of Shapiro's views, he's still the most well-spoken and erudite person to come out of the mainstream right since William Buckley. His commentary is always well thought out and his arguments for even the most backwards political policies are still superbly articulated, which makes Ben's show a must for anyone who wishes to have a wide range of opinions in their news.

I recommending watching a few week of Ben's show before you run him under the bus, including his Sunday Special. I am one of the few who are probably in the middle in regards to Ben, sometimes, as a political and cultural commentator, he is spot on. His review of "WAP" and "Commander in Chief" are two of the funniest things I have seen in a long time, I actually hadn't realized just how funny he was until I watched those; he has a very dry and sardonic sense of humor. This humor occasionally rears it's head in the regular show, but not often, it is very sporadic.
Unlike what some people who have been brainwashed think, He isn't part of the MAGA crowd, he did vote for Trump in 2020, but not 2016. He voted for him because he loves him, but because he was the best option this election. Ben is actually pretty even handed, and tends to look at things differently than a lot of conservatives, he seems to believe man-made global warming aka climate change(a deceptive term), at least to some degree, is a thing, or at the very least, we should mitigate emissions and, if a power source is better, switch to it so that we can have less emissions, but not with government, free market options, which work better, go do your own research.
He is not only Jewish, but and Orthodox Jew, religiously, so he generally holds to an Old Testament Biblical ethic, meaning marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman, sexual immorality is a thing and a sin, and men are men women are women, etc. However, he has also said this many times on his show and elsewhere, that if he had a trans friend, he would not call them a he even if they were biologically, in public, because he wouldn't want to needlessly embarrass them. In other words; Ben is not a total jerk.
Ben also does some fantastic interviews on Sundays, having various conservative figures, and I believe, ther political ideologies too, at times. Ben doesn't berate his interviewees, and he lets them talk and answer the questions rather than steamrolling in and bashing them over the head with his opinion.
Bottom line is, people hate Ben because he holds a hard line and has strong beliefs that he expresses, but Ben is not bigot. He is allowed, at least at this point, to have those opinions, it is religious freedom, he doesn't incite violence, he incites reason, and that seems to bother a lot of people. Are his arguments all airtight? No, no one's are. I have watched his show or debates and gone "Ben! Come on! Why didn't you say this instead???" If anything, I actually think he is too nice at times, but those who despise him, do not see the kind and, at times, almost meek, side to him. He is adamant that "fact don't care about your feelings", and that is true, yet he does actually clearly care about people, he cares so much, he tries to present the facts, as best as he sees them, to help others see the truth.
He did some fantastic, and even handed commentary on the political debates, especially in regards to Trump, he has no problem pointing out where Trump went wrong and needed to improve. He does his best to not generally take a side, despite his personal opinions, at least in regards to the debate. If there is a clear winner, he concedes it, or he'll state what he liked specifically, but mostly, he tries to just show why each individual thing did or didn't work, and that makes for a good way to learn how to debate better in general.
Again, I am not a huge fan of his, I believe he has dropped the ball in regards to Covid, and seems to ignore so much old and recent science that shows that the mask cannot filter out the virus, and he seems to go back and forth on things with masks solely based on what other countries are doing or their supposed success rates, but if facts don't care about your feelings, let's present what we knew prior to the "pandemic", and take this chance to get the truth out there. That is just one example where are very much disagree with Ben, and it makes me mad every time I hear him talk about it, but I watch it anyway because I can disagree with someone, and still like listening to them or see the value in much of what they say.
Ben is divisive, but not wrongfully, he is what he is, and he, unlike the mainstream media, is not pretending the riots didn't happen or that they are "mostly peaceful", and that white supremacy is the problem. Even though I disagree with him on Covid based on data I've seen, I also commend him for being level headed and not fear mongering and using ridiculous hyperbolic terms to scare people such as "raging", "super spreader", "hot spots", etc. Love him or hate him, he is for more level headed than many of these delusional reviewers on here give him credit for, and they do the very things they project onto him(which Ben doesn't do).

This guy is insufferable. The male version of candace Owens - a dumb persons idea of a "smart" person.
Thank you Ben, when I discovered your show it made me really happy. You are the first public speaker that I can literally say I agree with in political views. Thank you for all that you do Ben keep up the great work.

Biased, pretentious, condescending, misogynistic quidnunc milquetoast of a man.
He vomits hatred and preaches segregation. A very small and angry human.
Before you spew your anger upon the world and infect the minds of the vulnerable and the gullible, maybe it would benefit to look internally and try to find the reason why you are actually mad. The reason likely resides with your own personal choices in life, and you are projecting your failures and shortcomings onto the rest of the world because you refuse to take any personal accountability.
Before you decide to listen to a small, angry man spewing his hatred, maybe you should instead listen to people who speak of hope, peace, understanding, and to people who want to solve the problems with mutual benefit and respect for those affected.
Or you can stay tiny-minded and weak and blame others for all of your problems.

I don't agree with all of Shapiro's antic and opinions but he does provide a lot of facs. The Daily Wire truly is the best news outlet out there followed by The Blaze. As a conservative I listen to different pov 's and this puts all of MSM to shame.

Ben Shapiro is a decent source of information for a conservative view of political and cultural topics. I only listen to his podcasts. On the pro side, the podcasts will present almost full speeches and letters with little editorial interpretation as well as some good statistics with decent context. Much better than sources such as CNN. On the con side, sometimes content is editorialized. Sometimes there is a little too much liberal bashing, fear mongering and a lot of repetition. Just forward through these parts. In my opinion, about 5% of the population is extreme on the "left" and "right" with 90% of the population in the middle. But there are almost no media outlets targeting the middle. Most media outlets need to make money and the middle is "boring". My dad (a WWII vet with multple purple hearts and bronze star) used to say "we are all the same because we are all human beings". We have more in common then the media will admit.

American right wing is unlike anything the rest of the world has seen in over 80 years. It is a full blown political cult based on fear, hatred and bigotry. As a European living in America I have to tell my fellow Europeans that if they see even traces of this evil ideology in their countries they have to smother while in the cradle.

Ben shapiro provides wonderfully articulated commentary, carefully intermingling fact with conservative analysis but in no uncertain terms so as to separate fact from opinion. Throw in sharp witted intellect and Ben's particular brand of humor and you have an entertaining informative political podcast that works for the high school conservative and retirement conservative alike. Also not a bad place for the own moderate or curious left winger who wishes to hear actual conservative takes.
Complete and utter garbage. It's an indictment on our country that this dude has a following. People think he's smart because he talks fast. He's an utter poser.

This man lives on an island. He licks the shoe strings of who ever pays him large amounts of money. He is pittyful. He is bought and paid for and out of touch. He is just selling ad spaces dont fall for it. He just shares about mattets that are po8ntless. He snobs his nose at people unless it helps him get wealthier. Why the daily wire has given him a podcast is beyond me. He is just not.in touch with what people care about and pompass. All he cares about 8s him and his views. He is very natsasstic. The way he p8tches ads is not good. He is in it to enrich himself. All he cares about is ratings and money.

Ben Shapiro is a poor debater who mostly uses logical fallacies and runs himself in circles with his own arguments. He focuses on arguing with college kids rather than actual professionals in the fields hes debating against. His voice is awfully annoying, and he focuses on debating issues he has no experience in. His words are dangerous and feeds he into a rhetoric that feeds on marginalized individuals. Most of his viewers are right leaning conservatives that just like to hear their own narrative spoken by a fast paced chipmunk who pretends he understands Socratic discussion when I'm all reality he is nothing more than a babbling baffoon. I cannot stress enough how much you should not watch this show. I would rather tear my own ears off than listen to this man's annoying voice.

* * * Most likely all the 1/10 "reviews" are completely illegitimate. Trolls will be trolls though * * *
Ben states (and has stated) many a time that he is a right-wing, conservative journalist/podcast/talk show host, commentator etc...so anybody that is complaining that right-wing bent is a useful idiot. But it is refreshing to hear his view on politics. He tries as best he can, given the available data at any given time, to state the facts as objectively as possible, and then give his take on the situation. This is what a political commentator should be doing- and he does it very well. He is articulate, detail-oriented- and humble enough to admit wrongs- should those ever happen. To the anti religious, anti right-wing bigots- grow up and get informed. Step out of your pathetic echo chamber and into the sunshine. It might be blinding at first, but your eyes will adjust and begin to see a clearer, more centered picture.

A review about The Ben Shapiro Show. This man cannot stop lying. So many factual errors in his shows. And even when something is proven beyond a doubt he will keep lying about it. Also when its necessary he uses his show as a tool for personal gain. Another reason for this low review grade is his smugness. He gives of this aura that he thinks he is sooo much better then everyone else and everything he says is right and true. However, if you look closer at the things he says and look them up, you quickly realize most of it is utter nonsense. This man is a professional liar, mark my words, when he is older he will go into politics. Best profession for professional liars like him.

Fast talkers generally have a negative connotation. I have seen over time that a slow talker has trouble speeding up to make their communication more fluent. It seems that fast talkers can more easily slow down to make their communication more intelligible for anyone. Seems this indicates Ben's self-centeredness, all about "me", screw the audience that keeps my family fed. An aside my other thoughts about the show, but an overall observation that validities my other thoughts about the show. I love talk radio. Can't listen to Ben, even if he's all that's on. Rush, we miss you! Would like to here Ben's delivery at a somewhat normal delivery pace!

A phenomenal analyst and broadcaster for these times. He speaks the truth, and is not afraid to announce his disagreement on actions that are wrong -- regardless of who is the perpetrator.

An awsome show for your daily news. He's not a fan boy... Will call out anyone he disagree even if he's on the right.
Easily the best podcast talking about politics. Unlike most everyone else, Ben Shapiro doesn't use emotion to prove his point rather explanations consisted of all facts and observations.
Every one should listen!
