#410 โ€“ Ben Shapiro vs Destiny Debate: Politics, Jan 6, Israel, Ukraine & Wokeism

But I mean, say if not Giuliani, say if there are any other number of insane people that Trump could theoretically put on his side of the government that wouldn't tell him no next time, because there were a lot of people that rebuked him. There were Republicans in a lot of the states, right? Raffensperger is one of them. There were Republicans in his own administration. You've got Rosen.

You've got Barr. There was his own vice president. But theoretically next time, and I feel like last time going in, I'm going to do a little bit of mind reading a macro. Maybe you can I think that Trump kind of thought, one, I don't think Trump knows much at all about how the government works. I think we probably agree with that.

I think Trump probably thought that if he had people that were like, at least in his party and kind of camp, that they'll basically do whatever needs to be done to give him what he wants and with no respect for process. But now that he sees it, well, it's not enough to just have allies. I need people that are fiercely allegiant to me.

Would we not be worried that a guy that tried to essentially steal the election for real wouldn't try to pick people that would be more amenable to his plans in the next administration?

So if somebody was running and they blatantly said, like, I don't want to use the fascist word, but if they said, like, I want to be an authoritarian, I'm going to abolish all elections, you would say... Sure, he's saying that, but I don't think he can actually do it. So it's okay if he runs for president. You don't care at all as long as you feel like the guardrails are going to prevent it.

Really? Yeah, because I think the issue is, is one, when it's election time, Republicans are spineless in office. And I don't know how many congressmen would support what he wants just because they want to win reelection or because they think it's inevitable anyway.

Sure, but I mean, like, look at what happened with, like, Kinzinger and Cheney, right, who were very, like, staunchly anti-Trump after J6 for that select committee, right? Kinzinger didn't even run again, and Cheney lost her election by, I think, the widest margin that anybody has ever lost an election ever. Right.

Yeah, I guess it's just, it's a surprising position to me for if we're looking at like principled stances of government, the idea that a man who has, and I think we both agree on this, that Donald Trump's, Donald Trump's only allegiance is to Donald Trump, right? We agree on that. The only thing he cares about is Donald Trump. I don't think it's the only thing he cares about.
