    “I’m a religious Jew. You found me out.” “I agree with me” 😂😂😂😂
  • @Brian-jb1db
    "May I remind the gentleman about the first rule of holes: When you are in one, stop digging." That's based and I'm stealing it.
  • @bennie4857
    Lol the Committee Chair: "First rule of holes, when you are in one stop diggjng." Excellent lesson.
  • @bm421
    Why is Ben Shapiro being asked these questions in Congress??
  • @JustSomeDunce
    I don’t even understand what Swalwell was trying to accomplish here beyond making himself look absolutely foolish
  • @Aminuts2009
    Trying for a gotcha question and failed miserably.
  • Shapiro mopped the floor with Swalwell. Not sure what Swalwell was trying to accomplish,but Shapiro finished it for him.
  • It's pretty simple .. Swalwell needed a sound bite to look cool questioning Ben Shapiro. And he tried to but failed to get Ben to say anything stupid, because Ben isn't an idiot, even if I don't care for all of his views. Just a complete silly line of questioning and waste of everyone's time. Why was he even asked these types of questions at a Judiciary Committee hearing?
  • @M2fiftycal
    He has zero issue asking that question to a religious Jew, but wouldn't dare ask a Muslim the same question.
  • That was a savage line at the end by McClintock.😂😂😂 "The senator has forgotten the first rule of holes; when you're in one, stop digging."
  • @jacktat8633
    The freudian slip from Swalwell "I want less efficiency" made me spit out my drink
  • @nicholasm3260
    So let me get this straight. This was a hearing on government’s influence on big tech censorship and Ben was here to talk about the effects on his company. Swalwell decided to use his time to not talk about that issue and instead ask a bunch of random questions on Ben’s beliefs. Then he claims this whole hearing is theater. You can’t turn something into theater and then complain about it.
  • That line at the end directed at Swalwell was priceless. "First rule of holes: When you're in one, stop digging"
  • @bn94swr
    Not sure what that guy was trying to get at, but he didn’t. You have to be sharp to spar with Ben. Also chairman comment, hilarious and spot on.
  • @1eyedjacksRwild
    Did Swalwell who was sexually involved with Chinese spy Christine Fang just mock Ben's self-control near the end of this video? How about taking a good look in the mirror Swalwell perhaps you could use some self-control. Also what does anything Swalwell is asking about have to do with the Tech Industry?
  • "You can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater, but you can yell 'theater' in a crowded fire." Sir, what are you even talking about?
  • Ben might be the only person in all of these hearings I've watched that didn't refuse to answer the questions he was asked.
  • @slapdashdumper
    Swalwell snidely remarking that "It must've been hard for you" was a bit rich coming from someone who slept with a Chinese spy.

    If abortion is murder, how could it be a state by state decision? If a state decides murder is ok, where does it draw the line?
