Ep. 2435 - You Must Support This Sexting Nazi!

Ben Shapiro delivers a blistering critique of the Democratic Party's 2026 Senate nominee in Maine, Graham Plattner—a man with a Nazi tattoo, a history of online sexting, and multiple extramarital affairs—whom Democrats are now backing to stop moderate Republican Susan Collins. Shapiro calls the strategy 'insane,' arguing that the Democrats are so radicalized they'd rather elect a 'psychotic' with a 'sexting problem' than allow a centrist Republican to retain her seat. He dissects Plattner’s campaign, exposing contradictions in his narrative of marital healing and political authenticity, while mocking the Democratic defense of him as 'real' and 'relatable.' The episode escalates into a broader condemnation of Western liberal democracies, accusing them of enabling anti-Western radicalism through open borders, weak immigration enforcement, and moral relativism. Shapiro links riots in New Jersey over an ICE detention center to a coordinated anti-law enforcement movement funded by progressive nonprofits, and uses the UK's ban on Cenk Uygur and Hassan Piker to argue that Western nations are now punishing free speech while tolerating global terrorism sympathizers. He concludes that the West’s decline is not inevitable but a deliberate choice—prioritizing ideological purity over national security and civilization itself.
