Idk how Ben Shapiro is even a point of comparison? Part of my diss (sorry to be that person, but it's relevant) covers a lot of contemporary right-wing media, so I've been a daily listener of several right-wing programs, for about two years. Until the past month, I listened—daily, every f***ing weekday— to both Shapiro and Laura Ingraham. I just looked at my Shapiro "listening notebook," and I can't find there, nor think of, any similarities between you two! Nothing beyond your both being male political commentators.

He's always in manic overdrive, often trying to convince his listeners of absurdly quirky hot takes of his (a trait I think is the result of his kinda being alt-right, then denouncing that crew due to its anti-Semitism being unavoidable any longer), which you can't really place coherently on the left-right spectrum. I've always enjoyed your program b/c it's political "easy listening."

Y'all just ain't the same, IMHO.

The end, per me.
