Ben Shapiro Live at Heritage: The Fight for America’s Future
The Daily Wire on YouTube ^ | Dec 17, 2025 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 12/18/2025 7:33:15 PM PST by rmlew

Ben Shapiro joins Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts live for remarks and in-depth discussion of his New York Times bestseller, Lions and Scavengers: The True Story of America (and Her Critics). Together, they examine the cultural, political, and moral challenges shaping the nation and outline the competing visions for America’s future, offering a clear look at the crossroads ahead and what it will take for the “Lions” to prevail.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Culture/Society
KEYWORDS: benshapiro; conservatism; heritagefoundation; tuckercarlson
(The video starts 7 minutes in into the stream)

At the Heritage Foundation, Ben Shapiro reminds us that conservatism always has borders and people who are not in it. He makes the case that Tucker Carlson has removed himself from conservatism and that allowing him to remain will destroy it.

Ben Shapiro spoke just after Erika Kirk and gave quite the tirade at TPUSA’s opening tonight at Amfest. I didn’t finish listening and Tucker Carlson is also due to speak…

But sandwiched between is British actor/comedian Russell Brand. He lends his overseas, above the fray, fresh air purview of the US and the state of MAGA.

So for anyone who wants an alternative view: here was Russell Brand’s speech tonight:

Was Ben concerned more about Israel’s borders or the US borders?

Shapiro was on fire and said what needed to be said.

Smh. A dual citizen Jew that’s married to a Israeli Jew knows what’s best for Americans Christians? He thinks Jesus was a criminal. This is so dumb.

He mentioned American borders, not Israel's. Watch it.

He’s a little twerp that said the only thing that keeps him loyal to America is America supporting Israel. And he was not a fan of Charlie Kirk in his last few months and worked against him.

I prefer the term “half citizen”. You can’t be a dual. Eventually it comes down to being loyal to one over the other.

Shapiro is not a citizen of Israel. Being a Jew does not make you a citizen of Israel. Shapiro has noted that Jesus was a criminal in the eyes of Rome. When Jesus entered Jerusalem through the Damascus Gate on a Donkey, he proclaimed himself the Messiah, an act of rebellion and insurrection against Rome. Governor Pilate had Jesus's crime put on the cross for all to see "Jesus of Nazarath, King of the Jews." Jesus was one of many messianic claimants killed by the Romans and their allies.

You despise Jews and will ignore everything he has said and is saying that contradicts your bias

Give us the citation

You are delusional or have accepted dumb lies that suit your agenda from pathalogical liars like Candace Owns. Shapiro was a colleague and supporter of Kirk. Kirk was working with Josh Hammer on fighting antisemitism and the Qatar-Funded Woke Right the day before he was killed

Prayers up for Ben Shapiro though. Much of the hatred directed at him goes beyond mere objections to US foreign policy.

To be fair, Ben has been very respectful of Christians as far as theological discussions are concerned...hosting pastors and priests and the like on his show.

And when he is given the chance to lay out his views, Shapiro isn’t necessarily a “USA must give Netanyahu a blank check for everything” kind of person either...but he does believe in a more military-forward Israel.

I bet the late Charlie Kirk would have offered to moderate a discussion on stage with Shapiro and Carlson.

Ben Shapiro is fully on board with the RINO Neocon Establishment. I don’t take him seriously and neither should anybody else.

“Ben Shapiro is fully on board with the RINO Neocon Establishment. I don’t take him seriously and neither should anybody else.”

Like Levin, Shapiro certainly had a lot of things to say about Trump over the past decade...few of them good until his ratings crashed.

There are plenty of things that you can find wrong about Ben Shapiro without having to push the canard that he is a duel citizen who hates Jesus.

BS is one of the creepiest dudes on the right.

He’s also clearly not “America first”.

"Shapiro was on fire and said what needed to be said."

The schorrer who created Ovvens "said what needed to be said"?

You need to get right with the Lord.
