Ben Shapiro

A judge rules in favor of excluding evidence in the Luigi Mangione trial… and Mangione fans are ecstatic; Thomas Massie is engaged in a knock-down, drag-out primary with a Trump-endorsed Republican; and the Call Her Daddy lady is happily married and pregnant, unlike all the ladies who took her life advice.

In this Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins break down the dramatic decline of The Daily Wire — from massive layoffs (25-50% staff cuts), an 85% drop in Ben Shapiro’s YouTube views, and high-profile splits with Candace Owens, Brett Cooper, and others — to financial flops like the $10M Pendragon fantasy series nobody asked for. They explore Shapiro’s mean-girl gatekeeping, failed attempts to control the conservative movement, allegations of heavy viewbotting, outdated content strategies, and why the old-guard “Boomer conservative” model is collapsing while newer, more vital, fun, and adaptive voices (including Based Camp) are rising. Show Notes * Around May 1st, the Daily Wire laid off around 13% of their staff * At least according to a company spokesperson * Candace Owens claims that 50% were laid off * And LayoffHedge (a third-party tracker) estimates approximately 100 jobs cut in 2026 (that is 50% of the approximately 200 remaining staff) * This is their second round of layoffs, following a 25% staff cut in April 2025 * A year in which they also shut down their Bentkey children’s entertainment division * So their team is down over 60% * These changes coincide with a 85% drop in Ben Shapiro’s YouTube viewership * 2023: He had over 170 million monthly views * Now: 18-28 million monthly views * Plus Ben Shapiro and Team Daily Wire is very publicly splitting from major right-wing influencers—after a long history of sanctimonious gatekeeping * And this is in addition to insanely stupid financial indulgences made by the Daily Wire, like dumping $10M on a fantasy series nobody asked for Let’s look at their rise and fall and what it indicates about the right. The Rise of Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire Ben Shapiro’s rise began in the early 2000s as a teenage author and columnist, accelerating in the 2010s through campus debates, books, and podcasts. Shapiro published his first book, Brainwashed, at age 17 in 2004 while at UCLA, followed by columns and radio appearances. His national breakout came around 2012-2016 via viral campus speeches (”facts don’t care about your feelings”), resigning from Breitbart in 2016 amid Trump tensions, and The Ben Shapiro Show podcast launch. By 2018, it was syndicated on over 200 stations, peaking his influence during 2016-2020 political polarization. The Daily Wire launched on June 29, 2015, co-founded by Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing with seed funding from the Wilks brothers, building on Shapiro’s momentum post-Breitbart. The Ben Shapiro Show debuted as its flagship in September 2015. * The Daily Wire perfected Facebook‑era virality with clicky headlines and “SJW owned” debate clips, becoming one of the most‑linked news domains on the platform and a powerhouse during the Trump and early COVID years. The company hit its peak in late 2023, driven by Shapiro’s YouTube reaching ~170 million monthly views amid Israel-Hamas coverage, with revenue claims over $100 million annually by 2022. Expansion included Nashville HQ (2020), DailyWire+ (2022), and Bentkey (2023). The Layoffs * Most of the layoffs were around the Daily Wire’s Nashville, TN headquarters (and particularly within the production office) The YouTube and Facebook Drops Facebook * Facebook’s 2024 feed changes de‑ranked news and gutted The Daily Wire’s traffic, collapsing the distribution engine that had made them look unbeatable in the mid‑2010s. YouTube * Independent YouTube analytics (VidIQ and others) show Ben Shapiro’s channel views are down roughly 70–85% from their late‑2023 peak * Flagship channels sometimes have normal slumps, but online commentators like Philip DeFranco have noted this change in traffic is closer to a collapse * Social Blade data shows The Daily Wire’s YouTube subscriber base has plateaued or shrunk in 15 of the last

🎙️ EP#401| GUEST | Nicky Rudd on Ben Shapiro, TPUSA, Trump, Iran & the Future of America First Nicky Rudd joins Deep Shallow Dive for a sharp, high-energy conversation on the viral Ben Shapiro moment that put him on the radar and launched him into a much bigger political spotlight. He breaks down what happened at AmFest, why he felt compelled to challenge Shapiro publicly, and how that exchange changed the trajectory of his platform. From there, the episode dives into the fractures inside modern conservatism. Ray and Nicky unpack TPUSA, Charlie Kirk’s political evolution and legacy, the growing divide between establishment Republicans and younger America First voices, and why so many Gen Z conservatives feel disillusioned with the current political machine. Nicky also shares his thoughts on free speech, principle-based politics, and refusing to bend just to fit the system. The conversation closes with big-picture talk on Trump, JD Vance, Iran, 2028, and what comes next for the right. Nicky also opens up about his faith journey from evangelical Protestantism toward Catholicism, the role religion plays in his worldview, and why he believes a new political realignment is underway. 🔥 Top 5 Key Points • Nicky explains the Ben Shapiro exchange that made him go viral and why he felt obligated to press him publicly • A deep look at Charlie Kirk’s influence, legacy, and the unanswered questions surrounding his death • TPUSA, conservatism, and the widening split between establishment politics and younger America First voices • Nicky shares why many Gen Z conservatives are frustrated, black-pilled, or stepping away from politics entirely • Trump, Iran, JD Vance, 2028, and the future of the Republican Party all get put under the microscope 🔑 Keywords & Themes Nicky Rudd, Deep Shallow Dive, Ben Shapiro, TPUSA, Charlie Kirk, Gen Z conservatives, America First, Trump 2024, Iran war, JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, conservative politics, Republican Party, free speech, political realignment, Catholicism, evangelical Protestant, youth politics, nationalism, foreign policy, establishment GOP, media influence, podcast interview ⏳ Chapters & Timestamps 00:00 Intro + the Ben Shapiro clip that sparked it all 01:03 Nicky’s political awakening and Charlie Kirk’s influence 03:50 Why he challenged Ben Shapiro at AmFest 09:53 His thoughts on TPUSA today 14:40 Faith, Christianity, and moving toward Catholicism 18:17 Who he listens to now: Nick, Tucker, Candace & more 23:14 Trump then vs. Trump now 34:59 Why Gen Z conservatives are losing faith in politics 42:08 Iran, midterms, and the future of the GOP 48:59 Possible 2028 candidates and who could rise 54:05 Where to follow Nicky online 📢 Follow Deep Shallow Dive 📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepshallowdive 📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepshallowdive/ 📌 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deepshallowdive 📌 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deepshallowdive 📌 Twitter: https://twitter.com/deepshallowdive 📌 Threads: <a href="https://threads.net/@de

In this episode of Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes, we examine the controversy between Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro — and use it to trace exactly how criticism of Israel quietly became the recycling of 19th-century antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish texts and Jewish involvement in the slave trade. At Turning Point USA's AmericaFest, Shapiro called out the rise of antisemitic rhetoric being laundered as anti-Zionism. Owens responded not with facts, history, or policy disagreements — but emotionally. And then she crossed a line: holding up the Talmud and implying it was a secret manual teaching Jews to hate and exploit non-Jews. Then repeating the claim that Jews historically dominated the Atlantic slave trade. This episode traces where both claims come from. The Talmud claim originates with August Rohling — a 19th-century German antisemite whose book was exposed as fraudulent over a hundred years ago, built on mistranslations, cherry-picked lines, and outright fabrications. Those same fake quotes were used by Tsarist Russia, then by the Nazis, and are now circulating on podcasts dressed as "forbidden knowledge." The actual Talmud is a collection of legal debates and disagreements — not commandments, not ideology, not marching orders. The slave trade claim is equally specific: Jews made up less than 1.2% of participants in the Atlantic slave trade, which was run by European empires, royal companies, and state-backed Christian nations. Every major historical body agrees on this. Repeating the myth anyway is not ignorance. It is intent. Topics in this episode include: What actually happened at AmericaFest between Shapiro and Owens Why Owens' response shifted from policy disagreement to conspiracy territory August Rohling: the 19th-century source of modern Talmud myths How Rohling's fabrications were used by Tsarist Russia and Nazi Germany What the Talmud actually is: legal debates, not ideological commandments The Atlantic slave trade: who ran it and what Jewish participation actually looked like Historical consensus on Jewish involvement in the slave trade: less than 1.2% The scapegoating pattern: complex systems, reassigned blame, Jewish villain Why this is not about liking or disliking Ben Shapiro How "asking questions" can be a framing for distributing century-old antisemitic scripts This episode argues that the moment someone stops arguing policy and starts talking about secret Jewish texts, you are no longer in a debate. You are in conspiracy territory. And conspiracy territory, when it comes to Jews, has a well-documented destination. Check sources. Read originals. And do not confuse provocation with bravery.

ABOUT LIONS AND SCAVENGERS #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. BEN SHPIRO BIO Ben Shapiro is editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire and host of "The Ben Shapiro Show," the top conservative podcast in the nation. A New York Times bestselling author, Shapiro is a graduate of Harvard Law School, and an Orthodox Jew. His work has been profiled in nearly every American publication.
