Ben Shapiro

is now in favor of San Francisco legalizing prostitution and pot?

Well, no, I think that what the vice president believes is that he and his friends should determine what the limiting principles are.

And I do not like this.

My whole point of having general principles of equal applicability is that there should be delegated powers to the government beyond which you cannot go.

And when he gets to Catholic social teaching about economics, there are no places where power cannot go.

There may be prudence that you apply-

That is a human quality that you apply to a place of no of no actual checks and balances.

And this is where I start, because that is not part of Catholic teaching.

I'm fully aware it's not part of Catholic social teaching, which is why I don't think the Catholic social teaching should be the predicate for American government.

No, no, no.

Well, I mean, how about you admit you were wrong if it turns out that when he comes in and he decides to outlaw vast swaths of industry, tax vast swaths of industry, redistribute vast swaths of industry, all to his particular liking, and that is the platform upon which he runs.

Again, when you reject meritocracy on the basis that it's some sort of hoodwinkery,

I start to have some very serious problems, especially when the way that you became famous is by participating in the meritocracy in the first place.

But, you know, enough about JD's book.

First, let's talk about, again, entrepreneurship.

I'm a fan.

Knowles actually is a fan, too.

The truth is that when Knowles and I argue, it's typically over about three yards of territory on a 100-yard field.

We make it sound like it's about 80 yards.

In any case.
