Gorilla Glue

The Gorilla Glue incident, involving Tessica Brown, sparked widespread media attention and debate. Ben Shapiro criticizes the narrative that Brown's actions were a result of systemic racism, as suggested by some media outlets like The Washington Post 1. He argues that the incident was simply a case of poor judgment, not a reflection of broader societal issues 2.

The reason she sprayed gorilla glue in her hair is because of systemic racism, according to the Washington Post, which is weird, because I have not seen a massive spate of black people spraying gorilla glue into their hair.

--- Ben Shapiro

Shapiro emphasizes that attributing such incidents to systemic racism undermines genuine issues faced by the Black community 1.

   

Energy Crisis

The Texas Energy Crisis highlighted significant flaws in the state's energy policies, according to Ben Shapiro. He critiques the media's portrayal of renewable energy as a solution, arguing that the crisis was exacerbated by an over-reliance on wind and solar power 3. Shapiro points out that these sources failed during the freeze, suggesting that more reliable energy sources like nuclear and coal should have been prioritized 4.

If your takeaway from freezing temperatures leading to an energy shortage in Texas is that we need more of the thing that failed the most during this thing, you're completely insane.

--- Ben Shapiro

He criticizes the push for the Green New Deal, asserting that it overlooks the practical needs of energy infrastructure 3.
