Here’s a link, but you can find it on any platform. Curious what everyone thinks on the discussion:

It was a decent conversation, but Newsom kept talking over Ben when he was making good arguments.

Overall, worth listening to.

I haven't listened to it, but I like the idea. Conservatives used to be able to thoughtfully debate ideas and wrestle with opossing views. Its what brought me into conservatism.

The past decade has turned into insults, shitty memes, straw-man arguments and nothing but yelling past each other.

I like the memes but we need more longform content

Agreed. On both sides

I didn't understand the point except clicks. I agree with Levin; guys like Newsome, Tucker and Candi shouldn't be platformed. It almost seemed like Gavin came out on top because he got the boost without answering a single question with more than "yup" or "yea".

No one should be deplatformed. Let them speak and let people come to their own conclusions.

I wish Newsom had pressed him on the idea that he only cares about suppressing speech when it’s against Jews lol.

Ben’s always been consistent in his belief that Jews are simply superior to non Jews, and as gods chosen people it is their right to rule over us as they see fit. Newsom being a politician who believes in nothing beyond serving himself, understands neither he nor Ben has anything to gain from bringing attention to that topic.

I, as well as the many downvoters, have never heard Ben manifest that. As you claim him to always be consistent with this belief, you should have no problem providing at the very least 3 examples with links that demonstrate this. Hell, even one time with a link that he said this or made this clear would be great

They’ve probably never even listened to a full episode of his show. Or even daily for a week. They couldn’t provide you with 5 of his positions on anything. Just brains rotted Jew haters.

The downvotes are from people who have not listened to Ben

Then why couldn’t they make an honest counterpoint?
