What is Ben Shapiro’s opening preview and why does he promote the Daily Wire’s new content?
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. Alrighty, folks. Tons coming up on today's show. Shane Gillis burns up the SB Awards.
I know it actually is really, really funny. Plus, brand new breaking news on the Joe Biden being not all there scandal. Somebody else pleading the fifth on that one first. My brand new book, Lions and Scavengers, is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com. It is a rallying. Cry against the lies poisoning our culture, trust me, the scavengers. You know, the people wish to tear down our civilization, they're not going to like it. Again, you can pre-order Lions and Scavengers at Amazon.com right now. Also, we're celebrating a decade of the Daily Wire. That is 10 years of saying the quiet part out loud and building something that actually matters, something left can't cancel or burn down. And we're not slowing down.
We are scaling up. With new talent like Isabel Brown and her new show premiering this fall, with New docs like Journey to the UFC, the Joe Piffer story, premiering Friday, July 25th. And here's the thing: members get all of that first. The drops, the trailers, the truth, uncensored. Plus, you get to connect with a community that doesn't think biology is optional. Celebrate 10 years with us. Join now at DailyWarePlus.com. Alrighty, folks. So there's a lot of interesting and serious news to talk about, but I just want to say not all comedic heroes wear. Capes. Shane Gillis. You recall him from originally being on SNL, and then he was actually canceled on SNL before he ever did an episode of SNL. And then because we now live in the post-cancel culture era, he was rehabbed and has now been on SNL, and has become one of the most famous comedians in the country.
Well, somehow, some way, Shane Gillis, who is incredibly politically incorrect, who is willing to go Go all the way to the edge on his jokes and who, yes, probably has some rather conservative leanings. Shane Gillis somehow was hired to be the host over at the SPs. And because I just enjoyed the living hell out of this, I wanted to share it with you because it is really great and indicative, by the way, of the fact that if you are a comedian who is not of the radical left, people on the left get very angry. You, they won't, they won't laugh at you, they'll kind of leave you hanging. But Shane Gillis just doesn't care. And that's what makes him unbelievably charming, I have to say. So Shane Gillis was at the Espies.
For those who don't know, the Espies are a kind of silly award show that ESPN put together to give trophies to rich and famous athletes. And typically they are an exercise in pandering. Because ESPN is a left-wing network, that means they go out of their way to sort of play into left-wing social trobes. Well, suffice it to say, Shane Gillis really didn't do that. Instead, Shane Gillis just started taking shots and there are a bunch of people who took strays. So here is Shane Gillis doing a joke about Caitlin Clark, the WNBA star, that is definitely too edgy for twenty twenty five, but perfect for a Richard Pryor set in nineteen seventy seven. And it's quite fantastic. Here we go.
When Caitlin Clark retires from the WMBA, she's going to work at a waffle house so she can continue doing what she loves most fist fighting black women.
Yeah. Even the crowd couldn't help but love that one. Wow. Wow, Shane Gillis just going there. That of course is a riff on the fact that the WNBA has basically turned into a hockey game, with Caitlin Clark being
