The Debate Splitting Crowder, Shapiro, and the Right
About this episode
Steven Crowder titled a video “The Case for Fascism,” and people responded exactly how you might think… The problem is I don’t think some of them actually listened to what he said. Well, today we are going to listen to both Crowder and the other on the right that took issue with his comments and answer the question…Did Steven Crowder make a good point?

SPONSOR: Alliance Defending Freedom
Daniel Grand, a devout Orthodox Jew in Ohio, was ordered by his city to get a government permit just to host a small prayer meeting in his own home. Alliance Defending Freedom is now representing him at the U.S. Supreme Court, and ADF never bills its clients for their defense.
