AMA With Ben Shapiro - The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro answers all your questions and solves your life problems in the process.

Hey Ben,

Huge fan of your show! You are the main reason I have become so involved in politics lately. Two questions: 1. How do I debate my liberal college classmates on socialism being an immoral and failed/flawed system? I like your approach and usually only speak factual evidence on socialism being awful, but they continually dismiss my facts, for example I once spoke on the USA's literacy rate going up and how poverty has gone down and how that's attributed to capatilism and they told me that has nothing to do with captalism being in place. It's just "luck" and "odd statistics" They also say ridiculous things like socialism doesn't lead to communism and that everything is owned by the people, not the government. If you could just give me a few brief points to debate socialists I'd appreciate it. And yes these kids were whining about capitalism while holding iPhones and taking notes on their macs, sad! And lastly, 2. How do I stand up for myself being from an entirely liberal family? They know I'm extremely conservative and sometimes take jabs at me because I get too nervous to stand up for myself. I even had someone in my immediate family tell me that all conservatives/republicans are extremely uneducated (these are also the same people that thought Hillary Clinton was the best candidate in presidential history lol) and I basically felt they were trying to call me stupid for being a republican. I always want to say something, but end up being too nervous. I shouldn't have to take insults or be shamed for my political views, especially by family members though. So should I just proudly explain as to why I believe in what I do? Or should I debate them as to why they believe their beliefs are any better than mine? I know that's kind of personal and subjective, but I think you'll have good advice on the matter because you're very good about not letting leftists shut you down.

Anyways thanks for being a great voice in conservatism! That Shapiro store better debut soon!!
