What is Ben Shapiro’s opening rundown of today’s top stories?
You can't entertain Americans when you actually hate the average American, their values, their belief systems, you know, the country that they love. Enter the Daily Wire. Our newest release, Run Hide Fight Infidels, is finally streaming. Radical jihadists will destroy our freedom, but only if we let them. If you're a fan of those over-the-top action-packed films from the 80s and 90s, Red Dawn, Toy Soldiers, this is a movie you're not going to want to miss. Red-blooded American Good Guys taking on the radical Islamic terrorists. To regain their freedom. Watch Run Hide Fight Infidels. It's streaming now, only on the Daily Wire. Folks, a ton to get to on today's show. All the information now suggests that the Iranian nuclear facilities were virtually destroyed.
But the media continue to maintain not, and Pete Hagsath is smacking them around. Plus, Zoran Mamdani, the radical of the moment, what does that mean for the Democratic Party more broadly? And more victories for President Trump ranging from To the executive branch. But first, my brand new book, Lions and Scavengers, is now available for pre-order. And yes, you can get a signed copy only at dailywire.com slash shop. It's a rallying cry against the lies poisoning our country. Trust me, the scavengers will not like it.

And I just found a dog wearing a yarmulca in my inbox.

I field questions from people who may be off their meds, and someone gets obliterated in this week's Ben Destroys. I'm on the road, which means Xavy's back in the studio alone. She's already changed the Wi-Fi password to Ben is mid. So join me and the Ghost of Sabi for another episode of Ben After Dark tonight, 7:30 p.m. Eastern, exclusively for members only on Daily Wire Plus. Alrighty, so the media have been having a very, very difficult time just letting President Trump have the W.
And yes, what President Trump did in Iran is one of the most historic W's of my lifetime. Again, just to recap, Israel launched an overwhelming aerial. Assault on the Iranian facilities, nuclear. And missile-based. They were going after the ballistic missile development factories in Iran, their ballistic missile stockpiles, their missile launchers, as well as their nuclear facilities. And for nearly two weeks, Israel hammered the Iranians. But there was one facility in particular, Fordo, which was some 250-300 meters underground. And Israel did not have the ordinance capable of actually penetrating that. facility, Fordo, until President Trump authorized a B-2 strike using 30,000 pound bombs on Fordo and in his words obliterated the site.
Now, the media won't let that be the case because if it happens that President Trump used force to end the Iranian nuclear program and then declared the war over, then it is in fact a historic win. A win that we haven't seen in American foreign policy. really in my lifetime. One strike, end of Iranian nuclear facilities, complete reshuffling of the deck in the Middle East, with Israel as a regional powerhouse and Iran a supplicant. and no continuous war between Israel and Iran, no hot war continuing. with no American casualties, by the way. Like an amazing, amazing accomplishment. And the media just won't let President Trump have it. They won't. They just keep claiming over and over and over that actually, actually, maybe Fordo wasn't destroyed.
Maybe, in fact, Fordo is fine. Maybe the Israeli-American effort was completely for naught. Now, they really have no basis upon which to say this other than the word of Ayatollah Khameni. who has been tweeting that everything is hunky dory from his bunker presumably in Tehran.
