Peterson has just lost the plot ranting to the sky. That grifter Dave Rubin got to him.
I consider this to be mandatory viewing for anyone who likes Ben Shapiro or his takes.

My fave Ben Shapiro is his self own about Cardi B's WAP.

Lol Some More News did one on Tim Pool this week. I couldn't resist listening to some of it and it's pretty funny to hear Tim predict the 2020 election would be overturned as he thought it was stolen then later say he told everyone to stay away from the stolen election narrative. I feel bad though so I didn't finish the episode.

It could be helpful politically to help counter the republicans courting the working class voters. It exposes the “I don’t have any issue with unions, if you want to join a union, join a union” rhetoric.

My new favorite emerging trend is excusing clearly objectionable people because they are good at interviewing other people.

Heh. Shows you how much attention I pay to the garbage.
I read everyone knocking Shapiro and I think they don't like Josh Shapiro and I don't know why...

I don't even think Ben Shapiro believes half the stuff he says, I think he blows it up to profit from right-wing outrage culture, and people eat it up

Sometimes I think that’s where they start. But then they say stuff so much they end up convincing themselves.

I've only watched a couple of Shapiro things, because I couldn't listen to the ranting, for this reason; (and a lot of political pundits do this) they will start off with an erroneous statement or premise, and then spend half an hour building an intricate argument based on something that is foundationally incorrect.

I hate that.

Ben Shapiro debates college students and thinks he's smartest man on earth. Nothing but a goof.

The best Ben Shapiro moment was when he went to Home Depot to buy a piece of wood.

Wasn't that a Pierre moment? Something about fiddling with wood?

I think that may have been Tucker Carlson, but it's really tough to keep it all straight.

After Sam Harris handed him a new one a few years ago he made the decision never to debate people one on one with a brain, good decision too as his net worth is now $50m.
