I told y'all Ben Shapiro can't hang in an adversarial interview. To be fair to him, almost no one can. It's a skill and you must prepare for hundreds of hours.https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p078tgjd …

I watched the BBC interview with Ben Shapiro, and it's not as bad as people suggested, but at the end yes he's totally crushed. Shapiro should go into every interview knowing they are going to bring up old Tweets. You can't get mad, you have to have comebacks. It's the game.

Going into an interview, expect them to attempt to define you as lowly as they can. Know every piece of oppo about yourself. Prepare to flip the questions. It takes a lot of mat time and practice. Yes, drill your answers hundreds of times. “Drillers are killers.”

There’s something in wrestling and grappling known as “mat time.” You can know fancy moves but your body doesn’t have the reflexes trained. Shapiro needs to rehearse a response to every question. Drill over and over and over and over until you’re bored and tired and frustrated.

You’ve never see me flustered in interviews. Frustration is for practice. Have people work you over. Insult you. Taunt you. Piss you off. You should feel rage and hopelessness when training. Then it’s go time and you’re a smiling gorilla.

It was bizarro-world seeing them go at it. Red on Red with a fatality. Neil is definitely NOT on the left, not even close to centre. But I’m unpopular amongst basically everyone for thinking Shapiro is principled and concise. I utterly dislike the tribe around him, though.

In todays world I should probably point out that I don't agree with hardly anything Shapiro says - but I believe him to be operating in good faith.

Whoever gets triggered first loses. It’s a shame really. BeCause free speech Is best when people don’t get triggered and can hold discourse. IMHO

So true. Carl Benjamin can give a master class on this as he's being bombarded left and right (more from the left of course)

I agree he can't. But what did he expect? The kid glove treatment cause he's part of the "intellectual dark web" ?

I thought Shapiro had a good comeback - he has a website where he posts all the tweets he now regrets. I don't know why he didn't just stick with it. I guess Andrew Neil managed to get under his skin, which wasn't helped by falsely suspecting Neil of bias.

It is that bad. Andrew Neil is a well-known, respected conservative. A minute’s preparation would have avoided all embarrassment. Accusing Neil of being left wing, and making ad hominem attacks, showed extraordinarily poor judgment, thin skin and bad manners.

The tactics used in this interview are no different than the tactics
@benshapiro himself used to become as famous as he is, yet when they are being used against him they are “bad faith” interviews ...

He's not crushed by calling out a shitty interviewer for googling criticisms like 10 minutes before the interview, lol
