On November 7, PBD Podcast host Patrick Bet-David mentioned that Ben Shapiro cancelled his scheduled appearance after Nick Fuentes was a guest. He said Shapiro wanted to appear on the podcast. Then, he said he wanted to have Nick on the podcast. He said at the time, he thought that if Ben would cancel the appearance, it would be because of Nick’s appearance.It seems the expected happened. David said:“Two weeks later, Ben Shapiro cancels. Why? Why do you cancel? So, what is the brand? Why not have conversations? We're not a fire brand.”He also said:“I think Ben is a very good communicator.”In related news, political commentator and host Tucker Carlson came under fire for speaking to right-wing commentator Nick Fuentes. During the episode of the PBD Podcast, David pulled a clip in which Shapiro was seen criticising the two. Ben Shapiro said there has been a fragmentation in the political right because of Fuentes. Speaking about Fuentes, he said:“They are white supremacists. They hate women, Jews, Hindus, many types of Christians, brown people of a wide variety of backgrounds, blacks, America's foreign policy, and America's Constitution. They admire Hitler and Stalin. And that splinter faction is now being facilitated and normalized within the mainstream Republican party. The main agent in that normalization is Tucker Carlson, who is an intellectual coward, a dishonest interlocutor, and a terrible friend.”Shapiro said that Carlson was celebrated by the Republicans for celebrating Na***m. He clarified that despite his reservations about Nick Fuentes, he never called for the latter’s cancellation.David said Ben Shapiro raised Nick Fuentes’ profile with his opinionConcerning Ben Shapiro’s opinions about the Fuentes and Carlson drama, internet personality Adam Sosnick, who was on the PDB Podcast, said what struck him the most was the part where Shapiro called Carlson a “terrible friend.” He went on to say:“Because I'm totally an advocate of free speech. We've had Nick Fuentes here. I mean, I've received so much criticism for shaking Nick's hand, playing basketball with Nick. What's weird is I get along with Nick. We've seen this.”Meanwhile, sharing his thoughts about the same situation, Patrick Bet-David said:“The more they talk about Nick Fuentes, the more they raise his profile. Nick Fuentes, if I'm his agent, I would say, Nick, phenomenal. Your number one PR rep this week was Ben Shapiro. Send them a $10-dollar GoFundMe and congratulate him saying, ‘Thank you for supporting the cause and raising awareness to who I am.’”David said that people like Fuentes, Ben Shapiro, and Tucker Carlson were not going to disappear anytime soon, no matter what others thought of them. He also pointed out that Republicans had recently suffered a big loss, saying they were completely defeated just a few days earlier.
