Ben Shapiro

Today Explained drops every weekday afternoon.

In the span of a decade, Ben Shapiro built The Daily Wire into a conservative media empire.

He produced hit podcasts that bit at liberal excesses and documentaries and lectures about the founders, the genders, the gospels.

He peddled polos, hats, candles, provided a home for deplatformed conservative stars like Matt Walsh and minted stars like Candace Owens.

Let's put a pin in that.

The Daily Wire even has kids programming a judgmental puppet named Zoodles.

Zoodles.

Zoodles!

who shares Shapiro's load-bearing eyebrows.

This year, though, the empire showed signs of collapse.

The Daily Wire's YouTube videos are down from millions of views to the lo-fi figures.

Web traffic is plummeting.

And recently, Shapiro laid off 13% of his employees.

Asked by the Washington Post what had happened, Shapiro accused other conservatives of click-whoring by embracing radical Islam, theorizing about the evils of Winston Churchill, and mocking the widow of Charlie Kirk.

The kid still got it.
