Never heard of the guy. He's speaking at Berkeley. They finally brought in the cops to defend free speech against the terrorism of AntiFa. it worked enough that he's giving a speech.
I didn't see any of the violence, not sure if there was any. Just watching his speech now. This kid is brilliant.
He skipped two grades in highschool. Graduated from UCLA at 20, from Harvard law school. He's 33.
Seriously though, Ben is one of the top conservative commentators in America. He graduated from UCLA at 20 and then went on to Harvard Law. His takedown of Piers Morgan on gun-control (find it on YouTube) pretty much put Morgan off the TV.
Check out his podcast (The Ben Shapiro Show). His friend Andrew Klavan is also worth a listen.

Protesters said Shapiro should not be allowed on campus because he is a 'white supremacist' When in fact, both Ben and his wife are Orthodox Jew's. I enjoy listening to him.

Yeah, apparently Ben Shapiro was the number one target of anti-Semitic social media attacks during the 2016 election season. The alt-right crowd doesn't like him much. Which is why it's laughable to listen to leftists try to portray him as a "Nazi" or "fascist."
From my perspective, Shapiro is pretty much on point when it comes to articulating what it means to be a conservative. And the left hates him for it.

Ben shuts the left down, HARD. He has the facts, has done the research, etc. He leads people down a path intentionally just to ambush them.. I love it.

Ben's the fucking boss. I took notice when he went on Peirs Morgan's show (I just noticed this is posted above) "Your a stupid man aren't you" That's when you know they have run out of argument. I've been following him ever since. Funny the reaction to his Berkley appearence as I cant think of one thing he says that's that controversial of an idea. But he's a Nazi, you know one of those orthodox Jew Nazis we see everywhere.

I used to like him a lot until I noticed he has a lot of statist views. He's still OK but I wouldn't pay to hear him speak.
He's in favor of UBCs, but then idiotically and naively insists we must stop the government from registering guns. Apparently he's no so brilliant that he can't see the cognitive dissonance there. https://conservative-daily.com/2016/08/ ... -registry/
Granted, it's hard to find some public figure that I agree with 100% of the time but that's a pretty big problem he's got.

Did you see him tell Piers Morgan that he feared a tyranny coming to power in the next century but that he was OK with UBCs?
He's demonstrating a whole lot of stupid with that position.
