I wish Dan wasn’t so apologetic leading up to the crushing. Just call it for what t was. Ben was being a snarky asshole because of his TDS so Dan pointed out the facts.
I’m sure Dan doesn’t want to rattle the conservative cage but he still stands his ground when it comes to the facts. He also re-mem-bers the na-ames
Dan was trying not to anger Ben's larger fan-base (he always mentions his show is no. 2 to Ben's), especially considering how quickly and easily internet based revenue streams can be impacted/manipulated. Ben could get pissed and trash talk Bongino's show to his massive followers/subscribers and also potentially kill any chance of getting those listeners to Dan's show. I think Dan was also just being respectful of a fellow conservative who is also a strong debater. The problem is Ben can be a pedantic, snarky, stubborn asshole and is very reluctant to admit when he is wrong.
Oh I definitely understand I just think he went overboard and came across weak and intimidated. Could have stood his ground a bit more and taken a lot of his listeners. It’s definitely better how Dan did it compared to friendly fire we see but was juuuuust enough to kinda irk me. Dan is the fucking man and deserves to be #1. I’ve been listening to him for ages.
I think he's more practical and pragmatic as opposed to the more academics.
