| 0:00.0 | Overwhelmingly, millennials are in favor of socialism, or at least they have a very positive |
| 0:04.4 | view of socialism. Millennials don't know who people like Pol Pot or Stalin or Mao are, |
| 0:09.3 | which is kind of to me what being a millennial is all about, like all of the enthusiasm with none |
| 0:14.1 | of the knowledge. |
| 1:11.3 | Hey, hey and welcome. This is The Ben Shapiro Show Sunday special. We have Lauren Chen from the Blaze TV joining us. We'll get to her in just one second. But first, I know this is a really awkward thing to talk about, but sex, particularly within marriage, is one of the crucial aspects of a healthy life. And like any other aspect of your health, sometimes things don't work the way they're supposed to. That's not something to be ashamed about. It's something to get fixed. And that's where our friends at Roman come in. Studies show that 70% of dudes who experience erectile dysfunction don't get treated for it, thankfully. Roman created an easy way to get checked out by a doctor and get treated for ED online. Roman is a one-stop shop where licensed U.S. physicians can diagnose ED and ship medication directly to your door. With Roman, there are no waiting rooms or awkward face-to-face conversations or uncomfortable trips to the pharmacy. You can handle everything discreetly online. All you have to do is visit get Roman.com slash Ben and complete a dynamic online visit. Chat with the doctor. Get genuine medications delivered to your door in discreet, unmarked packaging. |

| 2:18.5 | Slash, Ben, don't let the problem wait. GetRoman.com slash Ben. Lauren, thanks so much for stopping by. Thank you so much for having me. So let's just jump right in with a little bit of your background. For folks who don't know your work or how you became a host on Blaz TV, take me from what you were, which was sort of a YouTube host, to being on Blaze TV and having a large following in all of this. Sure. Well, I started my YouTube channel. It's going to be three years ago in May, and I was just uploading videos, you know, once or twice a month just for fun. There were a little dinky slideshow presentations that I did about social issues. I did one on the minimum wage, and it was really just a side hobby. But eventually I started to get more subscribers and more popular and kind of got enough of a following where I could make that my full-time job. And then last year, I ended up starting a show with CRTV, which is now the Blaze TV. And so, yeah, right now we do three episodes a week. |
| 2:23.4 | Everything's on YouTube for people to see if they want to subscribe to Lauren Chen. And, yeah, |
| 2:29.1 | we kind of talk about cultural issues more so than political ones right now just because I feel like as someone who is a millennial who's trying to reach out to people around my age, |
| 2:33.5 | the cultural issues are really where most of the focus is when we're talking reach out to people around my age. The cultural issues are really |
| 2:34.7 | where most of the focus is when we're talking about what affects people in their day-to-day lives on social media, in their college classes, the films and stuff they have to deal with. So you're a genuine millennial. I'm like at the very tail end of the millennials. I get to technically slide in right under the wire. You're a millennial millennial. How old are you? I am 24. |
| 2:51.5 | So it's still okay to ask me that. I'm young enough where it's not insulting. I knew that it wasn't insulting, so I could ask you that. So how did you become conservative at age 24? So growing up, my family was pretty apolitical. I mean, we didn't really talk about politics. I grew up in Asia, so the politics wouldn't have been the same anyway, but we didn't really talk about anything to do with, like, taxes or anything like that, but just socially I came from a family. Maybe it's, you know, the Asian dad influence that I have. That was just very pro-family, pro-hard work, pro-individual responsibility. So I think socially I was always kind of naturally conservative and then then when I started to get into politics just on my own, I feel like those values just naturally lent themselves to me being, you know, pro individual liberty and freedom, i.e. conservative. So I mean, when I started college at 17, I was in the college Republicans at USC, one of, I think, like 35 of us out of a campus of 60,000. |
| 3:44.6 | So yeah, I never really had a moment where I was liberal and then changed, which I think is maybe rare for people who are my age. |
| 3:52.6 | And I think a lot of that just had to do with my family's outlook on things rather than I don't like to think that I'm brainwashed, but I was just raised with a certain set of values that I think when translated into government, do favor conservatism over liberalism. So I'm going to ask you a version of a question that I get all the time. I get asked all the time because I'm Jewish, why do so many Jews vote for the left? |
| 4:13.7 | I'm going to ask you, why do so many Jews vote for the left? I'm going to ask |
| 4:14.2 | you, why do so many folks who are Asian vote for Democrats, considering that it is a lot of |
| 4:18.3 | democratic policies that seem to be cutting against the interests of a lot of Asian folks who are |
| 4:22.1 | the number one earning by household group in the United States, who are systematically disadvantaged |
| 4:27.0 | on college campuses by affirmative action programs disproportionately? Why do you think that's happening? I think it's happening because the left has very, very, I mean, intelligently |
| 4:35.3 | crafted a narrative where people say that Republicans and conservatives are racist. They hate |
| 4:41.1 | immigrants. They hate Asian people. So it only makes sense to vote for Democrats, which is |
| 4:44.6 | frustrating because if you actually talk to, I mean, people in the Asian |
