Some people are upset at the use of ‘blood-stained’ microphone. I get where he is coming from. We can’t stop, ever. We are winning.

Yup. And Charlie was the nice one. Better hold on Marxists.

I don’t think he can connect with young people on college campuses in the same way.

Charlie was one of a kind.

And we will need all of them and more. Each reaches a target audience. Shapiro may not be your cup of tea, but he has a large following. There will never be another Charlie Kirk, but others will come and we need to support them..... All of them.

I’ll also add that the DW isn’t as “cool” as Turning Point and Charlie Kirk, but Shapiro got his start and got pretty famous debating these dorks at college campuses. He is one of those speakers that can shut down anyone on any topic. Good to see he’s going to go back out there. Matt Walsh is extremely effective on certain topics as well.

Or Hugh Hewitt trying to replace Rush Limbaugh.

I disagreed with Charlie maybe 20% or so
With Ben it’s more like 35%

We deal with what we get

Anybody here have any political actor or pundit they always agree with ?

Shapiro needs to stay in his lane. I hope he doesn’t plan on invading TP.

Perhaps - Charlie Kirk was uniquely talented and can't really be "replaced". But I'm still very glad we have others with the courage to go out there and give it their best. Maybe we make up for what we've lost with sheer numbers.

Id like to see his first polite debate be with Candice Owens.

Or Brett Cooper.

He will not replace Charlie anymore than Rush could be replaced. Been shape should be happy right where he is if he believes that his mission is already that righteous.

Everyone has a different style. Everyone has their place on the board.

From Jim Robinson to Alex Jones. No one is taking the mic from Kirk, no one has picked up the golden microphone, and no one else is running free Republic.

Yes, he was again threatened again after Kirk’s death.

One of the past ones——
Arrest reportedly made in Ben Shapiro death threat case
By fox5dc.com staffPublished May 1, 2019.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (FOX 5 DC) - A suspected is reportedly under arrest after an investigation into alleged death threats made against conservative pundit Ben Shapiro.

The suspect reportedly threatened both Shapiro and his family.

A source said the alleged threats were “extremely serious.”

Police told the celebrity news outlet that Shapiro filed a report regarding the threats with the LAPD.


2017.
Outspoken conservative Ben Shapiro on whether free speech still has a place on college campuses
The conservative radio host says he gives lectures in the name of free speech

ByABC News
October 20, 2017.
Excerpt:
Shapiro is the father of two and is editor-in-chief of the conservative website The Daily Wire and the host of The Ben Shapiro Show, a popular political podcast that has millions of downloads each week.

And Shapiro is on the college lecture circuit at a time when there have been increasingly violent protests against conservative speakers on campus. Tensions flared over white nationalist Richard Spencer after he spoke Thursday at University of Florida, where the governor of Florida had dispatched the National Guard ahead of the event in case violence broke out. In February, an event with provocateur and former Breitbart commentator Milo Yiannopoulos at the University of California, Berkeley was shut down after protestors threw rocks and Molotov cocktails.

Last month, Shapiro spoke at the University of Berkeley as well and local authorities spent over $500,000 on security. Local businesses closed early and ATMs were boarded up.

Charlie has an organization. It has employees and volunteers that have worked with him over the years and some of them will have to step up to the plate. They need our prayers now and in the future.
