Business Advice: Ben should do 2-3 episodes per week Ben Shapiro Discussion/critique
I think the world and even we here can agree Ben has lost his touch. Conservatives are truly moving to full on anti war approach. Ben is obviously correct in his opinions and assessments of world events but that doesn’t matter regarding public perception. To the eyes of many conservatives Ben and the Daily Wire have gone from the edgy conservatives to almost aligned with Fox News and Neo Cons overnight.
When Ben is on attack mode against the left he’s on point and enjoyable to listen to. When he talks about supporting Ukraine and Israel 80% of his episode he’s losing support and his edge. Ben is obviously a net positive for media and conservatives so we shouldn’t want to lose that.
Here’s my recommendation for long term sustainability and scale. Scale back production volume and provide 2-3 super high quality episodes a week. Do some more interviews on your free show.
Peace out Girl Scout

I have no idea how you even came to your consensus that he is bleeding support. The only people on the right that are attacking him are a very vocal minority that is wrapped in conspiratorial thinking. Think the average viewer for Tucker(who is bleeding support immensely). I just don't understand where you get this thought. Majority of Republicans (albeit a small majority) support Ukraine. Some think we give too much but doesn't mean that they think we shouldn't support them.

He should keep his views and keep voicing his 1a right. Everyone is quick to pick sides thinking a “conservative” means the same to everyone. He should keep providing his opinions on things and if people are still willing to pay him for that, great. If not, great. That’s the free market.

All these dorks think slashing entitlements, realpolitik foreign policy, and congressional negotiations is neo-con because Trump yelled about in a speech a few times. All the morons being critical of the DW on these subjects are somehow members of a modern day hippie movement. Such a bizarre move.
Yes, let’s be weak on the world stage and when you’re speaking Chinese in 50 years these idiots will be picking their noses wondering how we got there. The problem with the Conservative Party here in America right now is that they aren’t doing enough of what Ben fights for because he’s an actual conservative that isn’t afraid to speak the truth to the New York liberal-in-disguise who was a democrat his entire life until 2016. The only thing Shapiro has done wrong in the last few years is officially endorse Trump.

How you become weak: going into MASSIVE debt to pay for stuff designed to kill people in foreign wars.

u/FeaturingYou Apr 25 '24
We are weak because China and Russia are doing whatever they want to while folks like you cower in a corner like scared little dog with some new found anti-war sentiment that’s purely sprouting from trying to make Democrats look bad. Not because you actually care about war.
We aren’t in debt because of foreign aid. We are in debt because Trump locked down the United States and spent 4 trillion dollars in COVID relief. Then Biden came in and spent 2 trillion dollars. All of that because of China, the very country that’s trying to become the global super power, mishandled a virus while leading the WHO. The world health organization that, if we were in charge, we could use to our advantage. But you fucking isolationist morons don’t want to get involved in foreign affairs.
You dingbats never played risk did you?

And he’s also stopped the fight against the left. He’s all Israel now

Shapiro is a hero, if for nothing else, for exposing a bunch of wannabe conservatives. I’m happy you’re upset. I hope it gets you and all the other new wave, unprincipled, conservatives off this board.
Stop listening. Leave this group. Go listen to Pod Save America, study the hippie movement, and pretend you’re on the right.

u/the_walrus_was_paul Apr 25 '24
Shapiro is absolutely not a hero. He’s a political commentator. Stop deifying people.

u/FeaturingYou Apr 25 '24
If I were deifying people, I’d call him a deity. And it would be weird to call someone a deity for weeding out phony conservatives while criticizing him for endorsing Trump.

u/Ouchywouchy69 Apr 25 '24
I mean he didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 lol

u/FeaturingYou Apr 25 '24
Hence, why he is more conservative than others.

u/Ouchywouchy69 Apr 25 '24
Would you not agree most of trumps policies were conservative ?

u/moonsquid-25 Apr 25 '24
Ben has stated time and again that Trump surprised him with how conservative his policies were and voted for him in 2020. I'm very libertarian conservative, and I didn't vote for Trump in 16 either. Let's not pretend that Trump espoused tried and true conservative philosophy (lol) over his years and his character ; well, that's something else to consider.

u/Ouchywouchy69 Apr 25 '24
I mean he did in 2015-16 while campaigning but Main stream conservatives didn’t believe

u/FeaturingYou Apr 25 '24
He basically did conservative things but also pushed a border wall that was a unilateral decision by him alone. I like the border wall but that’s authoritarian.
Then, post 2020, he did the most liberal thing of all: election denial. Something the liberals had done from 2016-2020. Now he calls people who want to slash entitlements, who think it’s important that America is in charge in the world, and people who negotiate with the other side as a strategy to change things down the road RINOs. Then he went ahead and made sure a border bill didn’t pass. Why? For the good of his cause.
His antics, coupled with voices like Tucker Carlson and the members of the freedom caucus, have caused a huge rift in the Republican Party. To the point where people are so ignorant to what it means to be conservative they think Mike fucking Johnson and Ben Shapiro aren’t conservative because they don’t support the new wave right’s inane ideas that parallel historical democrats with a dash of a 1960s hippie love cult mindset. The only thing keeping Trump in good graces is that he says he will cut taxes - but given history on all of these other things I wouldn’t be shocked if he convinces members of our doltish party that tax hikes are actually conservative and we need to raise taxes to pay for healthcare. Because nothing screams peace and love (the new slogan of the Republican Party) like covering someone’s medical expenses.

Have you looked at the countries Israel is surrounded by? Stare at that map and tell me which one you’d like to live in. Then read the hamas charter.

So someone spends his career espousing his ideas and values and such and when they become main stream media worthy he should change? Should the celebrate?

Why not come to this subreddit with some substance rather than a thinly vailed attack on Ben and The Daily Wire meant to look like advice.

u/Unfair_Mushroom_8858 Apr 25 '24
Are you suggesting he should be apologetic about his true opinions, and instead tell a certain audience what they want to hear?

u/Ginkoleano Fiscally Conservative Apr 24 '24
I’d honestly say the problem isn’t Ben (although he definitely talks about Israel too much) the problem is the base. They’ve become regarded. The trump cult has taken asinine positions, while ignoring the economic positions that could actually help the country. Like pretending that Ukraine spending is even remotely an issue when we spend 10X that on entitlements. We’re going to become a permanent political minority as long as continue down the path of MAGA.

u/Substantial_Rice_198 Apr 25 '24
The entitlements should stop too,the country is falling apart just because people support Trump it's not Maga it's because Biden stinks

u/Ginkoleano Fiscally Conservative Apr 25 '24
I agree that Biden is awful, but foreign aid is not even 1% of the budget. And it secures our interests.

u/Substantial_Rice_198 Apr 25 '24
I hear ya but we need to fix our country first , politicians on both sides do not help us it's about power and greed

I support war on the grounds that we’re in a massive recession. Either we get the Great Depression 2.0 or the American war effort jump starts the economy. More than likely it will be both

u/Wordshark Apr 25 '24
Why does war boost the economy? Is there any way to get those effects without violence? Because violence for money is just…the thug way?

I actually think the opposite, for a minute the daily wire was leaning heavily into “destroying TikTok libs” and light comedic videos, its fun but its not conducive to anything, ben has an amazing sense of humor but he isn’t the kind to allow his own company to put out nonsense for light entertainment and views, he runs an analytical political commentary studio, not a twitch stream channel, i enjoy that he along with Michael Knowles have regrouped around deeper political matters, they have amazing minds they might as well use them, actually i think his aggression towards liberals has remained consistent or even lessened slightly with the years, he only seems more polarizing now because other conservatives have sold out the the liberal extremes for views making his immovable conservatism seem more prominent.

u/shastabh Apr 25 '24
He hasn’t lost his touch, he’s just getting high on his own farts. He thinks his opinion is the only opinion and can’t stop shilling for causes like abortion, religion, the uniparty etc.
He’s still talented, he’s just completely bought and paid for.

I dropped him and don’t need him. His “attack mode” against the left was tired. The whole gender/trans thing is tiring because it all just seems like a semantic game. The government can’t afford anything because everyone has become a grifter for government money and has driven society insane. Stop funding other peoples wars, shrink government, cut the federal department of education, audit the federal reserve, reduce spending, pay off the debt, give America back to it’s citizens, and a lot of societal problems go away (IMHO).

His slender submissive body turns my boy cock on so much. I could imagine caressing his sweet slender body as I kiss him softly on the lips.
"B-but homosexuality is wrong!" He whimpers
"Oh is it now?" I say as is slide my finger down to his tiny hard bulge.
"N-no! This is sinful!"
"Then l'm going to punish you for being such a sinful boy."
He moans as he and I share the most erotic night of pleasure and sloppy intercourse imaginable. He can't resist me. All over the counters, in the kitchen, on the bed, under the bed, on the balcony, in the dryer, in the street, all over the walls, in his office, ON HIS PODCAST! His little toes will curl with each thrust, and when I'm done with him he begs for more.
Every single day he messages me to come back and give him what he's been wanting. l make him dress up in thigh highs and skirt and post it online and he likes it.

I think Ben's blind devotion to isreal is costing him viewers. Not a single person can look at the footage coming out can agree isreal is the good guys... and same with hamas.

I watched the live feeds on Oct 7th. I worked with an OSINT group to track and catalog the various streams, tweets, and telegram channels that Hamas used. I saw the uncensored brutality. NOTHING that Israel does to those barbarians is unjustified.
