Here's a topic most people avoid, planning for the inevitable. Death comes for all of us. That doesn't mean you have to leave chaos in your wake.

I'll have all the details for you in just one moment. Plus, is action about to break out over Iran? And Zor Mamdani visits the Oval Office again. First, your reminder, then after dark tonight, 7.30 p.m. Eastern. You're not going to want to miss... Well, I was pausing so you could read my mind.
But you can? Well, Oz Perlman sure can. You don't want to miss it. It really is kind of crazy. Also, Savvy loses her job, almost, by telling me things I didn't want to know about Dolly Parton. And we talk about my lifelong dream of dispensing gasoline from my fingers. None of that makes sense? Well, it's not supposed to. That's why we do Ben After Dark, to do things that make no sense. 7.30 p.m. tonight. Well, yes, we here at The Daily Wire are doing the things that other companies won't do. Particularly, we are playing in the cultural space. We are interested in winning in the cultural space. You've seen us do this over and over and over again, and we are doing it again. There were rumors yesterday that The Daily Wire is working with the formal Marvel action star Jonathan Majors to make a brand new action movie.
Those rumors are true, and we are ecstatic about this. Jonathan Majors is unbelievably talented. Now, there are a bunch of people on Twitter, particularly on the left, who are very upset about this. And let's be clear, they are not upset because Jonathan Majors was canceled back in 2023 over what was, at best, a pretty empty conviction. That is not why they are upset today. The reason they are upset today is because they don't want anyone in the right working with actually talented stars. They don't want that happening, and that's why we are doing it. So for those who are concerned about Jonathan Majors' past and all that, Harvey Levin over at TMZ had a good rundown on the case. Here's what he had to say.
Congratulations to Jonathan Majors. He is back shooting movies. He is shooting a movie in South Carolina right now. This is after a four-year kind of not self-imposed hiatus, you know, after the trial with his ex-girlfriend. I'm going to say it again. Jonathan Majors got screwed by Hollywood because he won that trial. If you remember, his ex-girlfriend said that Jonathan had assaulted her in a vehicle, inside a vehicle in the back seat. I think it was an Uber. And, you know, when they got in the car, you see him kind of push her in. They didn't prosecute him for the little pushing in. That was not what this case was about.
What movie is The Daily Wire producing with Jonathan Majors?
It was about whether he assaulted her inside the vehicle. The jury voted unanimously not guilty, that he did not do it. This is after the Uber driver testified, others testified, and the jury said it didn't happen. They convicted him... Because he did kind of push her into the cab. That's never why, not at all why, he was prosecuted. He won that case. But Hollywood is so skittish that they basically banished him.
