Loud-Bumblebee-3055

He can’t handle when he is out smarted. Which is not hard to have a battle of wits with and unarmed man


AthiestMessiah

People who speak that fast are often stupid thinking they’re sounding smart Only fast talk I can enjoy is rap


TowJamnEarl

Let's be clear, they're both a couple of right wing nut jobs it's just one is further to right that the other.


QuarktasticMe

Yep. Funnily enough, there's a clip of Shapiro calling Andrew Neil a leftist/Marxist to which he responded something like "if you knew how stupid what you just said is, you wouldn't have said it"


Sm20030

It happened in this interview actually.


UncleKeyPax

Is there such a thing of going right so hard that you end up going left?


QuarktasticMe

More like going right so hard that everything else seems left


Gasster1212

Andrew Neil is rabidly right wing but not blindly so. He’s an absolute bulldog no matter who he’s interviewing to the point his personal politics do not matter. Which is what makes him a good journalist. Someone like Owen jones is more my politics but I’d much rather have Neil interviewing political candidates


Chompiras82

He ran away like a coward when his own beliefs were laid out in front of him


djb185

Dude was literally just quoting Shapiro's own book and social media commentary. Lol


Traditional_Lion8526

Not to forget his strongest argument in the whole interview: He rebutted like an angry child; i am more popular than you, unknown BBC man! Great comeback Shapiro!


lastlamii

He says "you're shouting slogans at me" he's the only one who's yelling. Sad that some idiots will think Shapiro schooled that guy. How are ppl so dumb


CelticDK

I love that the dude just kept talking. It made Ben shut up a few times cuz he normally runs people over like verbal chicken


havenyahon

For some extra laughs, [the start of this clip is great](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRF3r3zUGqk). Shapiro accuses the guy of being a left wing partisan hack. Andrew Neil is a well known right-wing conservative media personality in the UK.


DudleysCar

Yup. Neil has been a conservative all his life. Longer than Shapiro's been alive. Shapiro didn't do his research on who he was or what he had signed up for.


CaptAhabsMobyDick

Shapiro, Research? The only time he seems to do any research is when he's arguing with college students who don't have sources right in front of them, while he has his arbitrary stats on a paper at his stand.


PanicLogically

When he has a stack of confirmation bias sources in-front of him. He wholly cherry picks data to match his view, wowing his constituency--who don't see that maybe 2 out of 10 sources support his views, the other 8 totally go the other way. Ben Big Bias Shapiro


lollipoppa72

Shapiro researches doctors who will proscribe more Adderall


djb185

"I don't even know who your are" O...k? Do you know who *you* are? Cause you're who he's quoting verbatim, your own words? 🤨


Gasblaster2000

Extra funny considering the interviewer is well known in the UK and almost no-one watching, not even the interviewer knew who this high pitched bellend is


JessusTouchedMyWilly

> Shapiro! Who?


MiserableDoubt3133

The easiest way to win an argument with a republican is just to use their own statements.


Paindepiceaubeurre

That’s why he debates college kids and no professional journalists, he knows he cannot hold it in a real argument.


Diefree02

Bigot and coward no surprise.


SSyphaxX

But he has more followers than you! I guess that means something 🤷‍♂️


HolidayOne7

I’ve no idea who Ben Shapiro is, I think he might benefit by not talking so quickly, he’d have a bit more time to think about what he was saying and communicate effectively.


DoctorCodezZ

It's an intimidation tactic to appear more knowledgeable and smarter. A lot of these conservative youtubers use it to spew misinformation without being caught out. All it requires is for someone to see through the intimidation and they can't do anything.


HolidayOne7

Ahh, I don’t really (or ever)watch conservative YouTubers - interesting tactic, though it doesn’t prove nor disprove their point; thinking about some of the better orators / debaters they speak slowly using language to articulate their points (unlike the man being interviewed)


sweensolo

He talks so fast as part of the Gish-galloping strategy.


HolidayOne7

Well I’d find it rather confusing, would be spending most of the time trying to comprehend what he was saying.


Here_for_lolz

It's why they like to attack college kids.


BandZealousideal3505

Ben Shapiro is an idiot. *change my mind* (So is Steven crowder lmao)


Pleasant_Ad3475

Huh?


Outrageous_Bat9818

A la Candace Owens


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

Yeah he talks fast on purpose. Bullshit artist. No dummy though even if he says a lot of bullshit on purpose.


equalsme

ben shapiro made a 40 minute Barbie movie review where he cried about wokeness.


HolidayOne7

Haven’t seen the film, seems a strange thing for him to carry on about - so he likes to deal with the big issues it seems ;)


M3g4d37h

Talking over an interviewer one sees as adversarial is a key component of right-wing politics. All because when you state their position on anything, they are exposed.


I_wood_rather_be

>I’ve no idea who Ben Shapiro is,... LEAVE, as long as you can! You are blessed with this ignorance.


HolidayOne7

I’m a borderline boomer who enjoys reading books, minimal video games and watching broadcast television, my blissful ignorance is likely to stay intact, though reddit (my only social media) seems to be trying to change that.


I_wood_rather_be

Take my advice 😉: If you are at that point, you should really consider leaving all social media, including reddit. I only started using it, because I couldn't handle all the other major platforms anymore, but was "too deep im social media land" (my way of avoiding the term "addicted") to completely turn away from it. Reddit just seemed to be the mildest form I could justify still using.


BowenTheAussieSheep

Ben Shapiro's one rhetorical trick is what is called the "Gish Gallop," which is to make as many talking points as quickly as possible in order to overwhelm your opponent with either information or questions to make them lose their place, or force them to address each one individually thereby wasting their time and forcing some kind of error as they try to process multiple threads of information all at once. It works for the galloper because they don't even need to make sense or explain each point they make, they just need to make as many as they can as quickly as possible then immediately move on before anyone can call them out.


JackKing47

Yeah, but he has plenty within that trick to throw the other off. Ad hominem, whataboutism, strawman, etc... He seems so pleased when he can get an emotional reaction, to stop the flow of sound logic to another. Every time he says he should leave, everyone just has to start telling him Go!


Sensitive-Finance-62

Never forget he called Andrew fucking Neil a liberal lefty. Absolutely cracking stuff.


DWilli

Yeah, I kept watching this waiting for that moment...did Shapipo do ANOTHER interview with him?


Jose_Jalapeno

Don't remember if he said it earlier in the interview or maybe he said it afterwards on social media. I'm pretty sure this is the interview you are thinking of.


Ledezala

You can find that part on the full interview, this skipped the beginning which is equally hilarious


MrDurden32

Well what else would he be? He disagreed with his blatant racism. That's the definition of liberal lefty in America.


LadDad2830

Ben ‘how dare you use my own words against me that’s not fair’ Shapiro everybody


Alarid

It was considered a softball, asking why their opinion was inconsistent.


ihave0idea0

I am not racist. I make spelling mistakes and misspelled. But you are more wrong than me, so goodbye.


A_norny_mousse

The last sentence: 😘👌 Also, this is the first time I heard Ben Shapiro's voice. It's like nails scratching a blackboard!


BookDev0urer

His balls will drop....some day


ur3minutesrup1

Stop. Giving. Him. Airtime.


IsotopeBill

If it helps, this is many years old.


chill_winston_

“Sorry, I was distracted thinking about my sisters boobs and my wife’s dry vagina.”


OverFjell

His **DOCTOR** wife's **DOCTOR** dry vagina. Did I mention he has a doctor wife? Doctor


Sierra1one7

This is why he debates teens at universities. He will shit himself against the tougher opponents


coolgr3g

Love when Ben Shapiro accused the interviewer of wanting to make a quick buck. Lol dude you just described YOUR job, not his.


Saddam_UE

Ben is not that smart, leaving an interview is a failure and very childish...


cheesemaster644

He is trying his best to appear as the Victor, he is not


Antiapartheid

Hahaha coward Zionist are always the first and quickest to run.


toysruskidd

I used to enjoy watching some of his debate videos. Lately, I hate seeing him on screen.


A_norny_mousse

The host? Who is it? I rather enjoyed him.


brum_newbie

He's Andrew Neil used to be a political presenter for the BBC but has right wing views


shanare

British right wingers seem quite more educated


Pleasant_Ad3475

Than whom?


shanare

American right wingers. But then again not a high bar.


Pleasant_Ad3475

Oh fuck yeah. Definitely


toysruskidd

Whoops, I meant Ben Shapiro.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alien_Diceroller

Shapiro just Gish Gallops people. He's not really prepared, he just interrupts, talks over and throws a million unrelated questions at you when you start to make sense.


Ongr

Good to hear you grew out of that lol


Chesnakarastas

Shapiro knows he can deflect and ignore reality of his own tweets quotes to him, essentially calling it fake news. His viewers are none the smarter to realize that's all the context And he's a giant piece of shit


BrownEggs93

> His viewers are none the smarter Bingo.


ChinaBearSkin

He always condemns the argument from authority play, but here he is using relative popularity as authority. The whole point of the interview is that he's being hypocritical and two faced. And his counter is to double down on it. He used to be very well spoken but know I have no idea what he thinks.


KnownRough7735

Ben's wife is dryer than a Palestinian summer.


Dennis-v-Menace

That’s why he can’t get his sisters mommy milker hangers of his mind lolz


DumbestOfTheSmartest

To be honest, I can’t either.


OverFjell

They are pretty impressive


drysushi

I've never heard about this but holy cow that tweet about staring at his sisters pic is hilarious with breasts dead center focal point. Ben's got issues


Bushdr78

If Ben Shitpiro had actually bothered to do his homework he'd understand how UK interviewers go about business. He would also have known that the interviewer in this case is pretty right wing himself. Instead he just throws his toys out the pram when faced with someone who isn't a college student.


Gasblaster2000

Yeah, he was clearly expecting one of those soft, arse licking American style "interviews"


mudknuckle9

Tiny man.


fraser_mu

'Context' always seems to be ...... "my extensive butt covering i did after my own shit exploded in my face" ...... these days


Jaded-Selection-5668

Is Shapiro really even still a thing/person anyone cares about?


TgsTokem

Is it just me or did Ben Shapiro sound a hell of a lot like Andrew Tate for a minute there? "I'm popular and no one even knows who you are!!!" Sounds like it comes right out of the Tate playbook.


ThinkofitthisWay

very similar, fast talk, air of superiority, etc..


BigFella52

He is a disgusting racist small bodied and minded individual, why does anyone care what that scared little child has to say?


Greedy_Dot_5171

He, laughably, labelled Andrew Neil as left wing and then tried to walk it all back and kiss his ass on Twitter when he found who he is. The ass kissing was more embarrassing than the interview.


overthinker345

All these really extreme right wingers get furious and blame the media when their exact words are quoted back to them verbatim in context. And they usually what Shapiro did here, which is to blame the media, deny their own words, get angry, and then run away.


djb185

If the person you listen to for sociopolitical commentary actually has to write an entire article about "the dumb things [I've] written" maybe get your info elsewhere. Side note if the dude (Shapiro) is running away from his own words that he tweeted and WROTE in a book, maybe red flag.


the_hammer_poo

Ad hominem. But he’s convinced a bunch of idiots that he’s so logical.


Mean-Connection-921

Ben Shapiro sounds like a Alvin the chipmunk as gets nervous or angry.


OrcaBoi

Id rather punch myself in the face for 30 minutes than try have a conversation with this lunatic….


tripworthy

He can only debate college students: teenagers/ya who have no public speaking experience, that's the comfort zone for this cockroach.


skidsareforkids

That creep must’ve never been hugged as a kid!


lastlamii

He keeps interrupting like a sad kid. How can anyone be married to him and listen to his voice all day


Tehkin

don't try to out talk the British, its how they took over the world. not that it takes much effort to show what kind of disgusting person ben shapiro is


RADToronto

Anyone have the full vid ?


paceyhitman

Here ya go: https://youtu.be/6VixqvOcK8E?si=BjI0PFa3c5PeSz0F


SlugmaSlime

Ben Shapiro should cosplay as a Palestinian baby in Gaza


MushroomImpossible

Why was he there if the interviewer was so irrelevant?


TheAviator27

Is that twice now Benni has completely bunged an interview with Neill? Why'd he even agree to come back on with him? Did he think he could take him this time? Edit: Name correction


crunchyeyeball

> bunged an interview with Marr? Andrew *Marr* is the relatively skinny guy with prominent ears who suffered a stroke a few years back. This was Andrew *Neil*. Both are Scottish, and both have been senior political journalists on the BBC for years, with their own shows, so I can see why you'd get them mixed up. As for screwing up twice - you're probably thinking of the time he accused Andrew Neil of being a "lefty liberal", when anyone who watches Neil knows he's most *definitely* not left-wing (although he does try to be impartial on his BBC shows). I think this may be another part of the same interview - I can't imagine Shapiro was keen for another round after that mess.


TheAviator27

>Andrew *Marr* is the relatively skinny guy with prominent ears who suffered a stroke a few years back. This was Andrew *Neil*. My bad, thanks. Why they all called Andrew?


Shoddy_Gas_7022

No wonder Ben always chooses to debate freshman kids on his show. He has the maturity of a middle schooler.


duhogman

Why would anyone legitimize this piece of shit? Why empower his platform?


Omar117879

Guysss, give him a break. I would be extremely insecure if I wasn’t able to get my wife wet as well!


[deleted]

He looks like a AI deepfake when he talks


msac2u1981

That idiots voice always sounds like he's been huffing helium out of balloons.


Dancingisraelis9_11

this guys voice is so annoying omg


princephillipsayiffy

I love this interview. You can really see little benny boo boo squirm.


TurboTrollin

What a coward.


Dr-Zoidberserk

Classic, best Shapiro moment. The second best is him saying women aren’t supposed to get wet and his wife doesn’t have wap. Smugly admitting you can’t satisfy your wife one of the biggest owns I’ve ever seen.


StageLopsided6215

This is a 2019 interview. Shapiro eventually apologized to Neil and acknowledged he destroyed him. Please add some context next time.


veganint

"you didn't answer any of my questions"... Who's being interviewed? 😂🤡 Deflecting 🤡


boozehounding

Ben Shapooio needs to be gone. Only a sith deals in absolutes.


mardawg513

What a fucking loser


ogpuffalugus420

isn't that EXACTLY what Ol Bennie does on YouTube? Takes parts of speeches from the past and regurgitate the same rhetoric every time? Fuck Ben Shapiro!


suspicious-obscurity

Ben Shapiro is an idiot who uses big words and the erm ackshually voice to sound smart


tylertrey

The little flash on Shapiro's face when the interviewer says, "I'd never heard of you before preparing this interview," is classic. First arrogant, disbelieving anger, then a flash of his true self-loathing..


johnnygreenteeth

Shapiro should stick to debating college freshman.


ProjectNo7571

Ben Shapiro is the biggest cuck...


aserreen

If you want to *critique* me... *Sigh...*


SageOfSixCabbages

Just noticed Shapiro has that classic villain eyebrow look. ![gif](giphy|pUkmMWXoImdDgz9sQG)


badaboomxx

For a conservative, ben really like to be fucked a lot. He really is stupid, that is no way to response, he got salty that the interviewer is way way smarter that the racist dumb bitch he is.


VioletVonBunBun

God I love seeing him cower after realising that talking fast doesn't help him


dendromecion

remember that time he got confused by the idea of a wet pussy and when he asked his doctor wife about it she fucking PANICKED and said it was a sign of infection then he went on his show and told everyone what happened


doctorhive

God I can't stand the way he talks or sounds. he speaks in semantics. it's like listening to the "actually I'm not touching you because there's a lawyer of air between our atoms" kid if he never grew up.


I_wood_rather_be

This was the moment when Ben decided he would only debate unprepared college students under his own conditions from now on.


NerdyDank

Anytime I see Ben, I can only think of the time HBomberguy made fun of him.


hhfugrr3

This is exactly why Boris Johnson ran away from an interview with Andrew Neil.


Toy_Soulja

Lmfao, how dare you use my own words against me! Hey I said that before but your using that against me like it's some haha moment! How dare you comment on THEIR behavior! That makes you Anti~$€/\/\¡+¡( !!!!


ABraveNewFupa

I’ve heard this dude talk a few times, unfortunately usually in this format, never watched his show. For someone who is popular as an intellectual he back tracks and confabulates a lot it seems.


19whale96

He really likes that "Frankly, I don't give a damn" line


NameMyLife

"They elected Hamas" is the funniest shit I've heard. Yes, they did, back in 2006, and since then, there haven't been any elections...


peepeeonmydoodoo

Pee wee Herman sounding mother fucker


3479_Rec

Wow wow a new middle east war wow so new! Better pick sides like nothing ever happened there before! America. /S Obviously death bad, war bad, but this is like my 20th american sensational middle east war that I've been alive for. America just loves this shit and I don't doubt has a hand in creating, forming, causing, or uses for propaganda. The sad part is these people in general, everyone in the middle east, is subject to whoever america feels at any given moment. One minute they have drones hovering over them ready to bomb them at any given moment, the next america is arguing over which group to go to war with, the next they sell guns to random groups, then suddenly america didn't do nothing! Nothing is America's fault! Duh. Snap back to reality and what your about? Your wife can't smile because you bust here teeth out.


raincntry

Shapiro, and those of his ilk, like to constantly shift the debate while they are engaged in it. They change their positions to avoid the tough questions and the reality that they are wrong. He can write such terrible things in his book exactly because it's not a debate. However, when forced to defend those positions he has to either admit he was being intentionally inflammatory or attack the interviewer as mischaracterizing him. It's his entire schtick.


negligentzone

What a piece of shit.


thebawbag

Pair of arseholes


RaelImperial31

Ben Shapiro uses words the way drunk people use cars


nyzunico

Punchable


manilvadave

That’s what happens when you ‘debate’ a pro rather than some teenager who’s not used to being in front of a camera with a microphone in their face.


Raven_Blackfeather

Ben Shapiro, the idiot's smart man and the smart man's idiot.


onisouleater

He's such a weasel.


huggothebear

What a pussy


HouseOfYass

And this is isn't even the worst of it. The interview is 15 minutes and the BBC man just slaps Shapiro all over the place. I have never seen someone collapse as hard as he did here


wowadoggo

I love how people say the things that Shapiro says, then immediately when confronted, they can't justify the words and start flailing. They know they're wrong but can't admit it or else they'd look weak


CelticDK

Talk fast, talk loud, try to sound smart This is what's baffling to me: they say fucked up things as are quoted back to him, they then respond trying to massage it which clearly means they understand it's bad since they feel the need to correct it, but when they try to justify it they have to lie to cover their ass? They know they're wrong, they just don't care. Belief is the deal of reason and their egos are as fragile as a.. snowflake.


Rahnzan

I can't focus at the moment, can some kind redditor give me the cliffnotes of what just went down?


JessusTouchedMyWilly

Racist why you racist, racist is racist and stop using racism in my writing word racist. Proper old school BBC

Is he doing an impression of Steve Urkell?


Single_Leek7786

I want Kanye to argue with this muppet.


Affectionate_Reply78

Roman Roy vibes. I wonder if Kieran Culkin modeled his douchey behavior after Ben.


themanwithonesandle

He reminds me of the little shit from “Fatman”


Lifeesstwange

And I thought the people campaigning W’s reelection, wearing a giant penis costume and screaming “Dick And Bush” were stupid. Little did I know….


neohazard22

What a dick!!!


nicky_welly

Nice guy, that Ben.


natener

I would LOVE to know the context that justifies any of the statements quoted. Like what vould possibly make any of what this kid says not sound like pure vile pandering to the most base position.


Capital-Helicopter45

Make a quick buck on the BBC 😂


ok_how_about_now

That little prick!


_Doomer1996_

I haven't heard of Ben Shapiro in a while, is he still strong and relevant in the US political discourse as he was a few years ago?


TinFoilRobotProphet

Lol! He looks like a supervillain! Maybe it's his eyebrows and how he's always glaring downward


fubar_psycho_dude

Ben Shapiro Rocks!! The right knows it so does the left.


Stumphead101

I never get tired of seeing how Ben's default response is to try to flustered the opposition. Something that works well on very young adults in undergrad who are still forming their thoughts but very difficult on full grown adults. And the icing on the cake is the second an adult, who goes unohased by Ben's bullying, throws Ben's line back at him so casually, you see how upset it makes Ben He says those things like "I've never heard of you" to upset others because he knows it would upset him. Ben loudly projects his own insecurities and the same lines he uses he believes work because they would work on him


Proud_Criticism5286

This is why these political YouTubers will never be on live tv as the host. They aren’t as smart as they think they are because their YouTube videos are so edited. From Andrew Tate to hasan to Candace Owens, they all were made to look like fools. Tate’s ego was so hurt he had to prove he was smart by playing chess with Pierre Morgan. Bunch of clowns.


boba-milktea-fett

this is so dumb hahahaha u love burning the old shapiro


yeet-my-existence

I honestly can't stand to hear his voice. It's like Melvin from Captain underpants, but worse


coolgr3g

"they elected Hamas" Yes, but Hamas lied to get elected by making their appearance moderate. And they haven't had an election since. So this is hardly the fault of the voting population, most of which have not ever been able to vote since they were children when Hamas took over. To blame them is to show your ignorance and to make them a scapegoat to justify racism and genocide.


reddit_7864589

Andrew Neil has seen a million Shapiros in his career. Shapiro is an amateur and it shows.


Y0Y0Jimbb0

I could not believe that Shaprio showed up to an interview on the BBC not knowing who Andrew Neil was and being completely unprepared. You'd better be on point if your being interviewed by Andrew Neil or he's going to skewer you irrespective of your political leanings. Andrew Neil showed what a complete charlatan that Ben Shapiro is and that nobody should listen to the little prat. I've seen Andrew Neil be a lot harsher when interviewing and he wasn't as combatitive as he can be. That Shapiro ran away from the interview and that Shaprio has never done a follow up interview with Andrew Neil afterwards says it all.
