Ben Shapiro DESTROYS Jon Stewart: ‘He’s a cynical boob’ who ‘pretends he’s smart’

Times may change, but one thing remains the same.
According to Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report," that one thing is Jon Stewart.
“He still sucks," Rubin jokes.
Stewart recently took it upon himself to attack intellectual powerhouse Ben Shapiro — and he did not come out on top. The talk show host teed himself up by playing a clip of Shapiro commenting on Kamala Harris’ accomplishments.
This, Shapiro pointed out, was more of a lack of accomplishments.
“She’s never earned or won anything. Like, she was legitimately handed her original post in California state government because she was sleeping with Willie Brown, and then he backed her in the race for San Francisco,” Shapiro said in the clip.
“Okay 'Squeaks,'” Stewart commented sarcastically, adding, “I don’t know, guys, you’re being awfully subtle here.”
While he looked and sounded incredibly smug, what he actually accomplished was setting Shapiro up to destroy him.
“He’s 61 years old and still doesn’t know most basic things but pretends he’s smart by making the same obnoxious snarky faces my 10-year-old sometimes makes,” Shapiro says. “I am 5'9", and John Stewart is a midgetly 5'7". He’s also a complete cynical boob.”
“By this, I mean that his entire game is to ignore issues in favor of cheap insults. That’s literally what he does, like, all the time. There are never any arguments,” he adds before pulling his own clip of Stewart on CNN’s "Crossfire."
In the clip, Stewart yells at Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala, who were arguing differing views on the show, and tells them what they’re doing is ruining America.
“Stewart is largely responsible for having turned all of American politics into that exact same game,” Shapiro adds, disgusted.

Jon Stewart officially a ‘wokester’— left out KEY details on crime in Democrat-run cities
[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52471875&width=1200&height=800&coordinates=0,0,300,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52471875%26width%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C300%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]
Jon Stewart was once what people might call a “liberal.” Now, he’s just like all the others who abandoned their integrity to go off the “woke” deep end.
“He’s no longer a liberal, he is just sort of a ‘wokester,’” Dave Rubin says, before showing a clip of Stewart attempting to debunk the GOP’s city crime narrative.
“It’s the dang Democrat-encouraged crime. It’s one of the right’s favorite talking points, not just from Milwaukee but for all Democratic run cities,” Stewart mocked. “Those cities are crime-infested holes where life is miserable and everyone hates everybody.”
“By the way, it does turn out that crime is actually down,” he continued, before referencing a clip of Lester Holt claiming that the FBI reported the nation’s violent crime rate has dropped dramatically this year.
“It’s all a misunderstanding; but now that the FBI numbers are out, I’m sure that the right-wing media will adjust accordingly,” Stewart mocked again, sharing a clip of a Fox News host saying that cities still have a poor quality of life while a video of a car doing donuts plays in the background.
“He’s making the reverse point of the point he’s trying to make. He’s showing, ‘Oh these guys are doing double donuts.’ Yes, it’s illegal and people can be killed,” Rubin comments.
But that’s not all.
The reason Stewart is able to regurgitate those FBI numbers is because a large portion of crime is never reported to the FBI in the first place.
According to a report by the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, 37% of police departments stopped reporting crime data to the FBI, including large departments for Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.
For other jurisdictions like Baltimore and Nashville, crimes are being underreported or undercounted.
“So, again, we can all argue about the percentages and everything else, but we simply know that in Republican-run cities you cannot run into a CVS and steal all of the stuff,” Rubin says.

Dave Portnoy DESTROYS women’s basketball after Caitlin Clark Olympic snub
[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52452791&width=1200&height=800&coordinates=0,0,300,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52452791%26width%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C300%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]
Indiana Fever’s star Caitlin Clark was snubbed when it came to getting a spot on the USA Basketball Women’s Olympic team, which has left fans asking why.
Dave Portnoy doesn’t know either, and he isn’t happy about it.
“If you don’t think Caitlin Clark talent-wise belongs on this team, even though she does put up like 37 to 13, like the most points in the history of the league for a rookie,” Portnoy rants, annoyed.
While he calls himself a “pro-women guy,” he notes that these specific women “complain and they cry about equal rights, equal wages.”
“Hey, dummies, for the first time in the history of basketball you have arguably a player who is the most popular player in the world. You could argue right now Caitlin Clark is the most talked about, discussed, most popular, most puts asses in the seats, single basketball player in the world,” he continues.
“And you leave her off the Olympics team?” he asks. “It’s not only a showcase for her, it’s for the sport and the other WNBA players who are on this team.”
“How dumb, how brain dead, how idiotic do the people running this thing have to be?” he asks, adding, “I don’t ever want to hear you complain about flying commercial or not getting salaries or this, that. You’re too dumb. You’re too dumb. You have a cash cow.”
“Women’s basketball would be like the number one thing people watch with Caitlin Clark. As it is, I’d rather watch grass grow, I’d rather watch paint dry, I’d rather watch dirt just be moved around because Caitlin Clark’s not on the team,” he continues. “Whoever did this, honestly, hey, take your brain, put it in a museum, and study it for how dumb you are.”
Dave Rubin is nearly speechless.
“I’m not sure I can add much to that. He’s making every point,” Rubin says, impressed.

Jon Stewart lashes out after being accused of hypocrisy over Trump criticism — and it doesn't go well
[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/jon-stewart-lashes-out-after-being-accused-of-hypocrisy-over-trump-criticism-and-it-doesn-t-go-well.jpg?id=51864818&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=0,0,0,19 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/jon-stewart-lashes-out-after-being-accused-of-hypocrisy-over-trump-criticism-and-it-doesn-t-go-well.jpg%3Fid%3D51864818%26width%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C0%2C19%22%7D" expand=1]
A Democratic judge sided with New York Attorney General Letitia James last year, claiming former President Donald Trump and his company committed fraud by overstating the value of their assets.
On "The Daily Show" Monday, former comedian Jon Stewart discussed where Trump's civil fraud case presently stands, zeroing in on the Republican front-runner's appeal and corresponding multi-million-dollar bond.
Stewart argued that Trump's supposed overvaluation of his properties was "not victimless," intimating further that those who do likewise in pursuit of profit are immoral if not outright criminal.
The New York Post and critics online intimated this week that Stewart might have some phantasmal victims of his own.
In response to accusations of hypocrisy, Stewart lashed out Wednesday; however, his defense fell flat absent an adoring audience ready to laugh on cue.
Stewart's critique
"What did Trump actually do to earn this penalty?" Stewart said Monday, referencing Trump's $454 million appeal bond, which a state appeals court knocked down to $175 million this week.
"Well, it turns out that for a decade, whenever Trump wanted to get a loan or make a deal, he would illegally inflate the value of his real estate. For instance, suggesting that his 11,000-square-foot penthouse was a 30,000-square-foot-penthouse," continued Stewart. "We all do it. I mean, on my license I'm not listed as 5'7''. I'm listed as 30,000 square feet."
Stewart said that Letitia James "knew that Trump's property values were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties. It was all part of a very sophisticated real estate practice known as lying."
The host stressed that overvaluations "are not victimless crimes."
Stewart suggested that the banks were victimized, having apparently been paid back at lower interest rates. He also suggested that since "money isn't infinite," persons seeking loans who might have given "a more honest evaluation" could hypothetically have lost out.
According to the host, when it comes to the investment community, "In pursuit of profit, there is no rule that cannot be bent, there is no principle that cannot be undercut, as long as you and your f**king friends [are] making money."
For those who did not watch what Jon Stewart said, here it is. But keep in mind that it has now been found that he overvalued his NYC home by 829% after slamming Trump\u2019s civil case as \u2018not victimless.\u2019 WATCH and then read his story here by @nypost: https://t.co/ebZz6E5weS— (@)
Stewart, criticized
On Tuesday, podcast host Tim Pool dug up a 2014 New York Times article concerning Stewart's sale of a 6,280-square-foot New York City penthouse to financier Parag Pande for $17.5 million. The article noted that Stewart bought the apartment for $5.8 million in 2005.
Pool tweeted, "Did @jonstewart commit fraud when he sold his penthouse for $17.5M? NY listed its market value at $1.8M [and] AV around 800k."
The New York Post seized upon Pool's suggestion and obtained assessor records from the year of sale, which indicated the property's estimated market value was only $1.88 million. According to the Post, the actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174.
The Post alleged that Stewart had done precisely what he accused Trump Monday of doing: paying "significantly lower property taxes, which were calculated based on that assessor valuation price."
The Post noted that the New York assessor valuation on Stewart's former penthouse "is the exact same citation method and metric that New York Attorney General Letitia James used to value Trump's private and personal properties, and then sued him for inflating those assets."
Parag Pande apparently sold the property in 2021 at just over $13 million at roughly a 26% loss.
Sarah Rumpf of Mediaite suggested that it was unfair to suggest Stewart had "overvalued his property," certainly not by "a staggering 829%."
Rumpf claimed the Post and other critics were conflating different types of real estate values — the actual market value of a property, the property's taxable value, and "documentation about a property's value submitted to a lender for the purposes of securing a loan" — perhaps with the intention to mislead.
Rumpf argued further that it is common for there to be a significant delta between assessed and actual market values, stressing that in Stewart's case, a buyer was willing to pay $17.5 million.
The Post has since changed the title of its article from "Jon Stewart found to have overvalued his NYC home by 829% after slamming Trump's civil case as 'not victimless'" to "Jon Stewart benefited by 829% 'overvalue' of his NYC home even as he labels Trump’s civil case 'not victimless.'"
Stewart lashes out
While "The Daily Show" host's representatives did not respond to the Post's requests for comment, Stewart tweeted Wednesday evening, "OMG!! I've been caught doing something not remotely similar to Trump!"
"I guess all I need to do now is start a fraud college, steal classified docs, bankrupt casinos, pay hush money, grab pussies, discriminate in housing, cheat at golf and foment insurrection and you'll revere me!" added Stewart.
After Stewart threw more rocks from his glass house, critics pounced.
@jonstewart This you?— (@)
Tim Pool doubled down, writing, "My brother[.] You sold a property NY valued at 1.8M to someone for 17.5M and they lost 4M because of it[.] And you paid taxes on a valuation of 748k. 'When it came time to pay taxes he undervalued his property.'"
Blaze TV host Mark Levin tweeted, "Caught red-handed and you make a dumb-ass argument. According to YOU, you are a liar, a fraud, a hypocrite, and you're arrogant about it. Sound familiar, Johnny?"
"They told us that others need to pay their 'fair share,'" wrote investigative reporter James O'Keefe. "Oh what a tangled web they weave!"
