The only act of liberation that's really possible in this life is freeing yourself from like the lies and the number one lie is I'm God. Yeah. And like I'm omnisient or the you know was perfectly wise person. Whatever. It's like you know you make mistakes. You're you're ridiculous primate. It's a little fur. Like just admit it. There's just there look you got some things wrong. Yeah. But there's a difference between that and your entire foundation being built on hypocrisy and that hypocrisy being shown. You know, look, I mean, you can't make this stuff up, right? Ben Shapiro built a career opposing identity politics as a proud Zionist. Yeah. Now, you listen, feel however you feel about Zionism. It's identity politics. Like, like that is the definition of you could not find a better example of a politics built on an identity. And yet you're out here saying facts don't care about your feelings. Identity politics is wrong. And then while you're saying that, your number one priority, I know, is this this manifestation of identity politics. You can only keep that charade going for so long. No, it's totally true. Before someone sees through it. There's something in people that the the lowest part of people that instinctively accuses others of doing what they're doing. And I've never really I man I don't that's the one thing I don't want to be is a guy who does that. But I remember Bill Crystal who I worked for for years and really liked and was grateful to and he was a great boss in the ' 90s. Um and came out against me and called me a Nazi and all this stuff like without calling me. By the way, I called him and asked him to lunch. He refused. He wouldn't go to lunch with me. Huh. end of our relationship. But one of the criticisms against me, I'll never forget it when I realized this phenomenon was real, is when he accused me of advocating, and I'm quoting for an ethnostate. Now, I have a lot of flaws. They're all on display. I've never wanted an ethnostate. And I was like, wait, one of us is for an ethnostate and is not me. But you just said that like of all the possible criticisms. It's just too unbelievable. I mean, unbelievable. Well, Crystal accusing me of wanting an ethnost state, but you like you just like you almost like don't even you can't even respond. You just have to go like it's like I I didn't say anything. I was like, "Okay." Right. Yes. You know, I people can't hear themselves. I mean, you notice when people get old, they you know, they tell the same stories and you just, you know, when you love them, you're indulgent. But I I just hope that doesn't happen to me. I hope I don't lose all self-awareness to the point where I've got like lunch on my chin and like accuse other people of doing exactly what I'm doing. Exactly what I'm doing. Well, you're going you have lunch on your chin like you, you know. Yeah, that's you don't want to be there. I don't want to be that guy. Um, and I think that there's like look, obviously like we're we're living through something, you know, we're probably living through several things that are very profound, but one of the most profound things has been this revolution in in um information and the technology and this it's led to this like kind of mass decentralization of media and where there's now like there's so many things and shows and different voices. You know, we I find people all the time who I've never heard of before, you know, and I'm sure you've had this experience, too. You'll find someone you be like, "Oh, that that guy's actually really smart. People should know about this guy." How many followers? 7 million. Oh, he's got 7 million. Oh, he's huge. Like, I just found some guy who is bigger than anyone on cable news and I didn't even know he existed, you know? And so now it's just because of this dynamic there aren't you know as you know the the corporate media apparatus like big newspapers and big cable news shows and was very controlled very controlled the range of allowable opinion was very narrow. It's what uh my uh my good friend and brilliant historian Tom Woods uh always called the uh was it the the 3x6 card of allowable opinion. you know, you get this little area of allowable opinion and then that's where the conversation takes place. That's been shattered into a million pieces and now there's voices from all over the place and some good and some great and some bad and really bad. But it's just much harder for people to, you know, that control existed so that you don't get exposed. so that you don't get expos so that you could go like look even the right-winger John McCain agrees or even the far-left activist Nancy Pelosi I mean it's like dude I have to hear Sean Hannity goes the farleft Nancy Pelosi it's like how many leftists have you actually talked to in your life how many leftists have you ever read you think Nancy Pelosi is a far-left like really they got her vineyard in Napa all these different you know these different tools of corpor are left and right. But so that's over now. And now I think it's just much it's much tougher to keep this charade going.

And it seems to be collapsing so fast. Yes. Yes. And it's not again, you could you could be honest about it and and kind of maintain some of your respect, but the the truth is that like look, even when they'll say these things like if you if you accuse Ben Shapiro of having dual loyalty, they go, "Oh, that's an anti-semitic trope. That means you hate the Jews." But then he'll sit there in his own words and say, I forget his exact quote, but it was something like, "My favorite thing about the United States of America is that it protects Israel." And so, you're already saying you have loyalty to both of these countries. In fact, I'm not so sure about the one of the loyalties, but I'm very sure about the other one. And that is not I'm sorry, that's not a statement against Jewish people. I'm Jewish. I love Jewish people. You know, it's like I I get called a self-hating Jew on Twitter or whatever. It could not be further from the truth. I actually really love Jewish people. There's many things about Jewish culture that have, you know, had a huge impact on me, made me the person I am, made me a better person uh for their their impact on me, but this is a foreign government. Like, I'm I'm sorry. That's we're we're allowed to talk about that if you you know, I saw Glenn Beck the other day had uh Douglas Murray on and he wasn't like Glenn Beck wasn't like mean to me personally, but which I appreciated. Um, but he was just going I mean it was just so ridiculous. But it's like you were sitting here. We're gonna we're having a conversation about a foreign government. You started crying on your show talking about this foreign government. That's weird. That's weird. We We should not be doing that. What the hell is going on here? Like I don't even think you should cry about our own government, you know? But if you're going to cry about one, it should be ours. And no but no one would even think to cry about our own, right? I mean like come on. like let let's have a real conversation about this. And if you don't especially, and by the way, this is not my primary goal. My primary goal is to tell the truth and to advocate for what's good for our country. Um, but if you're concerned about like the young men getting a little bit too radical and and you know, being too obsessed with the Jews or too against the Jews, which I do think is a legit concern. It definitely is. You know, that's not good for you. And it's it's not good for you. It's not good for the conflict. It's not good for the country. I just don't think any of racial collectivism always leads to bad places. Agree. You don't want to you don't want to embrace that stuff. But if you're concerned about that, well then the first thing you have to do is tell the truth. You can't keep lying to people and you can't you can't keep sitting here and going like, "Oh, no. The neoconservative." You can't say neoconservative, right? Isn't that Mark uh Levin? Didn't he uh just say if it's the New York Mark Levin who's a who I also know I mean I've been in right-wing world my whole life I know everybody I work with Mark always gotten along with Mark always been nice to me but yeah he just accused Trump the Trump administration of anti-semitism for calling someone a neocon well what he what he did was he accused Steve Wickoff of anti-semitism right and I just want to say I think Steve Woff is if there's anyone who is you know has the hand of odd on him. It seems to me, I sort of overstate it, but I feel that way. It's Wickoff who's like a thoroughly decent man and who was running around the world trying to bring peace.
