What Ben said
“We are the good guys. We are better than anyone else. We got our own problems, we've got our own issues, but America is the shining city on the hill compared to the rest of humanity.”
— Ben Shapiro
“If you love America, you want America to be America for all of her kids. Well, I would like America to be America for all of her children. I would like it not to be say the Middle East for all of her kids.”
— Ben Shapiro, responding to El-Sayed's speech
“All these people who are born into a Jewish family and their association with Judaism is that their parents once lit Shabbat candles, but they have never done so, and they eat not kosher and they don't keep Shabbat and they don't do anything Jewish at all, except occasionally say, 'as a Jew,' just to rip on other Jews—shut up, man. You don't get to speak for the Jews.”
— Ben Shapiro, on David Axelrod
“I love this. Now he's talking about who's more likely to win. Haley Stevens was doing much better in the polls against Mike Rodgers. I also love how dare you say that El-Sayed was pro-terrorism, says Hassan Piker, who's literally pro-terrorism.”
— Ben Shapiro, on the hypocrisy of El-Sayed's defenders
“The coalition is the thing. Radical leftists plus radical Muslims. What a grand coalition.”
— Ben Shapiro
“All you have to do is be not crazy.”
— Ben Shapiro, on the Republican path to victory.
“The builder gets the federal investigation. The taker gets the parade.”
— Ben Shapiro, on the pattern of smearing those who produce.
“The American people hate losing wars. If you remember the Biden administration... what finished Joe Biden as the president... was the withdrawal from Afghanistan... his opinion poll numbers went from fifty-two percent all the way down to thirty-nine.”
— Ben Shapiro
“When you have a society that truly believes that all allegations of racism are to be treated at face value... then you have perverted the entire system of values.”
— Ben Shapiro
“[Hassan Piker] hates America's core values, but we'll use our core values against us.”
— Ben Shapiro
“The left has these massive institutions... when they achieve their objective, they can either go away or they can invent new problems to go solve. This is exactly what happened with the gay marriage movement and the invention of transgenderism.”
— Ben Shapiro
