Summary

My guest today needs no introduction. His name is Ben Shapiro and he is likely one of the most polarizing guests that I've had on since we started podcasting 6 years ago. But regardless of what you may think about him and his stances on the world's most pressing concerns, these are exactly the types of challenging conversations we should be having.

Today, we cover a lot of ground including Ben's new book, The Authoritarian Moment: How the Left Weaponized America's Institutions Against Dissent. We also discuss the shifting Overton Window in politics, using logic over feelings to create solutions, why many people are "too nice" and losing the cultural battle, and where one needs to draw the line on government overreach.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Most Americans don't feel comfortable saying what they want to say
Most corporations want to avoid controversy
People in the middle tend to cave to the louder side
The left has overshot their mark
Social media rewards the most radical
The problem with broadly defining problems
We have to play by the rules we have agreed upon
The Federal government has grown beyond its intended size
Potential inciting incidents that could lead to permanent fragmentation
How do we shift the tides in culture and society

0:00.0	Gentlemen, my guest today needs no introduction. His name is Ben Shapiro and he is likely one of the most
0:06.2	polarizing guests that I've had on since we started podcasting six years ago. But regardless of
0:11.9	what you may think about him and his stance on the world's most pressing concerns, these are
0:17.2	exactly the types of challenging conversations that we should be having. Today Ben and I cover a
0:22.5	lot of ground, including his new book, The Authoritarian Moment, How the Left Weaponized America's
0:27.4	Institutions Against Descent. We also discussed the shifting over to window and politics using
0:34.4	logic over feelings to create solutions. Why many people are too nice and therefore losing the
0:41.4	cultural battle and where one needs to draw the line on government overreach. Your man of action,
0:47.6	you live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly charge your own path. When life
0:52.4	knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time. You are not easily deterred and defeated,
0:58.8	rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life, this is who you are, this is who you will become.

1:20.9	going to be a lot of new people listening today for better or worse because this is going to be
1:24.6	a polarizing one, no doubt. But it's important we have discussions like this and that's what this
1:29.7	podcast is all about. It's all about having conversations with other incredible men who have
1:35.4	interesting, maybe potentially unique and valuable content and information to share. So this one with
1:41.2	Ben is no different. Make sure you subscribe and leave a rating and review so you never miss
1:46.4	a podcast episode. Also, I've gotten a lot of questions over the past several weeks about what other
1:51.5	podcasts I listen to and what information I consume. And so I'm always trying to add value to you
1:57.0	guys. There is one I wanted to mention and I'll do this periodically. But for today, I want you guys
