Lions and Scavengers

The True Story of America (and Her Critics)

De: Ben Shapiro

Narrado por: Ben Shapiro

#1 New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro examines the current state of America and Western civilization, and poses a question: will we be Lions, or will we be Scavengers?

In a world split between noble Lions and destructive Scavengers, only the brave can lead the way. Acclaimed writer and conservative thought leader Ben Shapiro knows that at the heart of today’s conflicts—political, economic, and cultural—there’s a dangerous lie: that all people are equal in ability, and that all inequality stems from oppression and exploitation.

With his signature clarity and sharp insight, Shapiro refutes that lie, emphasizing that in a free country, inequality is rooted in differences of talent and work ethic—not oppression—and that the best solution to lack of success lies in duty and virtue. Lions, like America’s founding fathers, strive for the highest good, building systems that promote freedom, prosperity, and equality of opportunity. Meanwhile, Scavengers degrade these ideals, spreading resentment and entitlement that threaten to dismantle the foundations of Western civilization.

In Lions and Scavengers, Shapiro invites you to take up the mantle of the Lion and defend the principles that shape the freedom of a fair, powerful society. With the stakes higher than ever, this book is a gripping exploration of the ongoing war between those who cherish our nation and those who seek to undermine it. The triumph of the Lions is essential for America’s continued success. It’s a rallying cry for those who refuse to bow to the Scavengers’ demands. It’s time to fight back.

Return of the Lions

I found the book inspirational. It lays out all of the modern challenges the West faces. It calls out all of the evil and false ideology that exists in the world, by name. He uses the names and quotes of the scavengers. Then explains where their beliefs come from and why they are wrong. On a side note, it is written almost as a journal entry. Made the book feel more personal. I personally enjoyed Ben talking about his wife. Too many of us men do not give credit to good, godly women in our lives.

Big Ben Strikes Again!

It's been a while since Ben's last book (slacker), but this one was worth the wait! His thesis is sound and he brings the receipts to back up all of his claims. This is a great book that would make an excellent gift to someone in your life who could use a good civics education!

Great Book

He really boils down the struggle between “loins” and “scavengers”. Loved the personal stories he included.

Great work!

had to give 4 stars on performance simply because Ben didnt use his "Bernie" voice when quoting Bernie Sanders haha. Lays out how the situation we find ourselves in, in America has been ushered in by a portion of the culture

Scavenger's constantly lying.

The ease at which the Scavenger lies are proven faults. Every lie or half truth they state is easily disproven with factual data.

I look forward to Ben's next book, "The Lion is Awake: How President Trump Saved America. " I'm standing by to pre-order.

perfect explanation of the world we love in today

I've been listening to the Daily Wire before it was the Daily Wire. Ben has always tried to bring logic to a world filled with emotional driven scavengers.

Well written and entertaining

Well written and entertaining. food for thought regardless on anyone's political leanings. A very enjoyable listen

Ben hit the nail in the head. .

I liked it all. Ben kept it short and to the point. the book points out several features in modern political power dynamics that explains a a myriad of obscurities.

Thank you Ben
