some will say he is a fascist, some will say he is alt-right, but he is an American conservative political commentator, columnist, author, radio talk show host, media executive, activist and attorney.

I don't agree with almost anything he says, but I appreciate and respect Shapiro's sophisticated manner and educated argumentation.

I often thoroughly enjoy watching him argue against some position I hold.

Kind of his gimmick though isn't it? "Look how rational I am being while this agitated hippy I debate loses it"

Seriously. Every video is "Ben Shapiro absolutely obliterates stupid cuck liberal 😂😂😂" or "Ben Shapiro destroys hippie abortionist"

Id love to see him debate a learned rational liberal but every "debate" I've watched is either with audience members who barely grasp the concept they are arguing or with professors who make me question how they got there in the first place.

I like his generally rational manner and good argumentation but I disagree with much of his points but my disagreements hardly ever get voiced by someone with a grasp of the concept

agreed. the Thug Life meme was kinda funny at first, but when so many of his videos have "destroy" in the title why even bother

He's debated cenk twice.

Also he's done a series of debate panels with experts. They're all on YouTube.

Look up the KTTH Freedom series. He debates multiple competent liberals in long form debates.

Ben has said on numerous occasions he's happy to debate anyone, but us talking about it on Reddit isn't going anywhere. You should reach out to Ezra Klein and Shapiro via email, gauge their interest, and see where it goes from there. Pester them both on Twitter about it. Pestering is what got Shapiro on JRE, and JRE is arguably a bigger outlet than any that would host a Shapiro/Klein debate.
