I mean, look, I love Ben Shapiro. He reflects my views, but there is another conservative journalist who reflects my views even more and projects, I would say, a more dignified and more manly affect.

Imagine a journalist from like a 1940s film noir movie. You know, you got the fedora. You're pounding the pavement on the mean streets.

Well, a journalist quack-on

tour, the kind that would be featured in, you know, your favorite pulp fiction from the period.
