As Twitchy readers know, Podcast Movement held a conference and The Daily Wire paid for a booth at said conference. Welp, Ben DARED show up at his own booth and a bunch of thin-skinned babies threw a temper tantrum claiming they didn’t FEEL SAFE NOW so they wrote this huge thread apologizing for Ben being there. Basically attacking a guy who spent a lot of money with them at their conference for simply BEING AT said conference. Gosh, it looks like they’ve sort of thought things through a bit more and decided it was effed up to do that to...

President Joe Biden’s prime-time speech Thursday night, which featured a blood-red backdrop and a grim warning about the endangered “soul of America,” drew fierce reactions online, with critics branding the content divisive and the theatrics just plain weird. Biden, who framed the upcoming midterm elections as a fight between good and evil, stood flanked by U.S. Marines outside Philadelphia’s Independence Hall. Unusual red lighting cast a fiery glow on the brick building as Biden railed against supporters of former President Trump, who he said have taken over the Republican Party. “MAGA Republicans have made their choice,” Biden declared. “They embrace...

Conservative pundit and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro blamed former President Donald Trump for Republicans losing momentum ahead of the midterms. …. In a Twitter thread on Tuesday, Shapiro blasted Republicans who put the focus on Trump despite his unpopularity with independents, who are a crucial electoral demographic. Shapiro said that the problem for Republicans is not just the Supreme Court overturning the landmark abortion decision Roe v. Wade. ….. [Little Ben] : “ This means that when Trump is attacked, Republicans immediately return to making him the centerpiece of the conversation – and this harms them electorally, as every...

A podcasting convention in America has issued a “grovelling apology” for allowing Ben Shapiro into its venue, Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton says. “Shapiro is a conservative and in the age of safe spaces that means his mere presence supposedly causes people physical harm,” he said. Mr Houghton said the podcaster responded to the backlash in good spirits and released a video of himself meeting and greeting fans.

BOCA RATON, FL — Authorities responded to a level 5 event in Boca Raton Friday after Ben Shapiro casually strolled through a Whole Foods Market, resulting in the death of thousands. The popular political commentator and founder of The Daily Wire had a "hankering for some peaches" when he stopped by earlier in the day, say survivors who witnessed the horrific event. "He walked in like it was no big deal — like he wasn't the Jewish face of white supremacy!" wailed Julia Lacrosse, a 23-year-old twin-spirit dragonkin who had been shopping for her cat. "I could feel it in...

The New York man who shot up a Buffalo supermarket Saturday kept no secrets about how and why he planned to murder "as many blacks as possible." From his racist radicalization on the internet due to the coronavirus lockdowns to his specific choice of a black neighborhood with few guns — "NY has cucked gun laws," wrote the shooter, who made clear he intended to survive the massacre — the Buffalo shooter is no enigma. Hence, a seemingly concerted effort from the corporate media accusing the Buffalo barbarian of being some sort of Tucker Carlson acolyte would be baffling if...

VIDEOThe ironic thing about the Podcast Movement 22 groveling apology for Ben Shapiro's mere brief appearance at their Dallas conference is that it made him front and center of that event. Had they not apologized for Shapiro showing up to just say hello to a few people before quickly departing, his presence would have gone unnoticed along with their very conference. Instead they have inadvertently (and hilariously) made Ben Shapiro front and center of their conference and probably all future conferences due to their absurd snowflake overreaction to him.

We’ve already done one post today on Ben Shapiro that exposed just how “dangerous” he can be. Podcast Movement, which sold booth space to The Daily Wire for its event in Dallas, sent out a Code Red that Shapiro was actually on the convention floor. Podcast Movement apologized and took “full responsibility for the harm done by his presence,” while never quite explaining what “harm” Shapiro had caused just by walking around the convention. We have another Ben Shapiro/Daily Wire story for you. It seems that on Wednesday, the website Uproxx published a piece entitled, “Student Loan Debt Forgiveness Hater...

When you hear the name “Ben Shapiro,” what words come to mind? A lot, probably. Which is fitting, considering how many words Ben Shapiro is able to get out between breaths. Seriously, the guy can talk fast. But back to our question: what do you think of when you think of Ben Shapiro? Chances are pretty good that “harm” is not anywhere on the list. But apparently it’s at or near the very top of @PodcastMovement’s list. According to their Twitter bio, Podcast Movement is “the world’s largest community of podcasters,” and they’re currently doing a big event in Dallas....

Thousands of Israelis gathered in a Tel Aviv hangar on Wednesday night as the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), one of the most influential political organizations in the United States, held its inaugural Israeli conference. Conservative activists and top Donald Trump administration officials spoke about how much the former US president has done for Israel, praised Israel’s high birthrate and called on Israelis to fight on the conservative side of America’s culture wars. But the key draw for many was celebrity pundit Ben Shapiro, who gave the evening’s keynote address. SNIP “Do any of you watch CNN International?” he...

In the absence of a serious foreign policy and an economic plan not involving massive tariffs – and in the absence of a rational and decent candidate – pro-Trump advocates have fallen back on one argument and one argument only: he’ll be better for the Supreme Court. --- Hillary’s justices will cripple Constitutional interpretation on religious freedom, gun rights, and freedom of speech, among other crucial issues. --- There is only one problem: there is no shot – zero shot – that Trump will appoint a conservative.

Fox News highlighted the story Friday of a biological girl whose family encouraged her to identify as a boy, as part of its “America Together: LGBTQ+ Pride Month” series. The video would be absolute despicable insane lunacy if I saw it on CNN or MSNBC. To see it on Fox News is a complete betrayal of anything remotely resembling conservatism or decency. Every element of this video is propagandistic, dangerous garbage. The report states that this biologically female child was choosing her gender before she could speak. That is madness. The report further states that Ryland’s parents began social transition...

Candace Owens on the Meghan Markle Fiasco, 2021 Grammys Cringe, and Bill Maher's Cancel Culture Rant

"Real Time" host Bill Maher took a moment on his show Friday night to slam his Democrat-controlled home state of California and sound the alarm over the "exodus" that is taking place. During an interview with Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Maher acknowledged that local issues were not in the congressman's "domain" but said he still felt the need to "b---- a little bit." "There is an exodus," Maher said before reading from his notecard.

Klaus Schwab is the head of the World Economic Forum; he founded the organization in 1971. Each year, the WEF hosts a massive conference in Davos, Switzerland, with thousands of world leaders, diplomats and experts on various topics gathering to trade ideas about how best to cooperatively run the world. Lest this characterization be seen as overstating the case, Schwab himself said as much this year in opening the conference: “The future is not just happening. The future is built by us, by a powerful community as you here in this room. We have the means to improve the state...

Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Kathy Barnette addressed several recent controversies over her record on Sunday, as she continues to surge in the polls ahead of Tuesday’s primary. Speaking with host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday,” Barnette responded to criticisms about parts of her past that have come under fire in recent days, including questions about her military service record and insensitive tweets she had made in the past. She also blasted her primary opponents for raising controversy, claiming that they were “mad” because of her recent rise. “So I want to give you a chance to answer some of...

It also isn't supply chain issues alone. The core inflation rate in Europe has remained well below that of the United States; the harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) was 5.9% in February 2022 in the Europe area, compared with 7.9% in the United States. For its part, the Biden administration blames Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. White House press secretary and incipient MSNBC employee Jen Psaki announced, "we expect March CPI headline inflation to be extraordinarily elevated due to Putin's price hike," and blamed gas prices alone for the spike. That, of course, is ludicrous. In February...

To those who think political commentator Bill Maher has somehow drifted from his traditionally liberal beliefs, the comedian says it's actually those on the left who have become too extreme in theirs. That was one of the sentiments made by the talk show host of Real Time with Bill Maher to conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro on a coming episode of Shapiro's The Ben Shapiro Show: Sunday Special.

After the end of the Cold War, foreign policy experts across the spectrum assured us that things had changed. Wars of pure border conquest were over. Wars over oil would soon be a thing of the past. Instead, the increasingly intertwined world would move toward peace. Thomas Friedman suggested in his massive 1999 bestseller "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" that no two countries with McDonald's would go to war with each other; Francis Fukuyama stated in "The End of History and the Last Man" that we had reached the "end-point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western...
