I surprisingly like Ben Shapiro’s stuff.

I’m fairly left-leaning and there are stances that Ben has that I definitely wouldn’t agree with. For example, I’m pro-choice and I typically refer to trans people by their chosen pronouns.

I’m not all that familiar with his stuff and his opinions, but when I caught him on Jubilee’s “Surrounded” series, I was like, “This is a good person.”

The country’s leftists are in an odd place where anyone that doesn’t agree with you is suddenly the worst and doesn’t deserve a place to express their opinions. But, Ben made valid points during his Jubilee appearance and it got me to check out his YouTube channel. 🤷‍♂️

I’m still sad about Harris losing and am wary of a second Trump term, but something about Ben’s endorsement makes me somewhat reassured.

(I really don’t know all his political opinions though, so perhaps his infamous reputation is earned.)

If you're open to listening to podcasters with opposing points of view, you might enjoy the Yaron Brook Show.

Yaron is an Ayn Rand fan who opines on politics and cultural issues from an atheist classical libertarian-like point of view, advocating for reason and a free market economy. I recommend scrolling down to "Past Live Streams".
