Ep. 2524 - I Watched All the Midterm Debates So You Don’t Have To
Summary
Ben Shapiro reacts to a college student’s aggressive protest at a University of Iowa event, using it to critique the Democratic Party’s shift toward performative radicalism. He analyzes the Michigan Senate race, arguing that candidate Abdul El-Sayed is a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer who deflects from his extremist ties by focusing on cost of living. Shapiro also discusses the New York Attorney General debate, the mysterious absence of Texas Senator James Talarico, and the media’s failure to report key texts in the Cornell University "Jane Doe" case.
