Early years
Shapiro was born on January 15th in 1984. His birthplace is Los Angeles in California in the United States of America and so he had a good chance to begin with.
It’s really easy to get famous in the USA because people spend a bunch of time on social media and you find out about various people sooner or later, especially in the field of politics.
His whole family is Jewish and they were originally living in Russia and Lithuania, depending on whose side of the family are you reaching.
He was so smart that he skipped two grades and ended up leaviingf Walter Reed Middle School fast. He went to the Yeshiva University High School of Los Angeles and he was only 16 when he finished high school.
This happened in year 2000 and he was pretty young to be graduating, especially summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from another University in 2004.
Ben soon got a degree in political science and he decided to take on one of the most famous colleges in the world: Harvard Law School. In 2007, he finished it and went on to work.
Career development
He did law at Goodwin Procter, a firm earning about a billion dollars each year, but he still wasn’t satisfied with what he got. He wanted to go harder and better and that’s why he opened up his very own consulting business in LA. It was called Benjamin Shapiro Legal Consulting and it was his dream come true.
He was very interested in politics during his teenage years. He used to talk about it and he loved discussions. By the age of 21, he was already done with two books he made.
His 2004 masterpiece was called Brainwashed. It talks about students that are kept from various information and about those who never develop opinions because they are being forced to learn while politics are changing.
In 2011, he created a book called Primetime Propaganda The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV.
He claims that television shows, series and content is all made to make people prone joining the left-wing plans and he says that it’s obvious how they are changing people’s opinions.
In 2013, he made his fifth work called Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans.
One would say that Shapiro has something against democrats, but his arguments are very good and many people say he is one of the best critics in this field.
In 2012, he was acknowledged as one of the editors at Breitbard News. It’s a website that posts about politics. Shapiro continued to write about politics there, but some controversy soon came up and he had to back up from this.
In 2013, he made an article about foreign people who are contributing American politics. It became very popular and that’s why Shapiro decided to talka even more openly about this. He says politicians often use long and complicated words so people would get confused.
In October of year 2013, he became one of the people of Truth Revolt It is a website that works for other people’s rights.
In 2015, he joined a transgender rights activits to talk about Caitlyn Jenner and the fact that she got an award called Arthur Ashe Courage Award.
However, Shapiro was very rude and he called Tur a man and reffered to her with male pronouns. Tur got very angry and she clenched Shapiro’s neck and threatened him. Ben later called police and decided to take this to court.
Ben founded The Daily Wire too. He makes political podcasts on his show every day from Monday to Friday. His work is sometimes downloaded more than 10 million times a month.
In 2016, he hosted KRLA’s radio show that’s pretty conservative. Many people were disappointed because of Shappiro being on there, but he didn’t show much care.
The New York Times called his thoughts very conservative and he often argues about various things related to his views. Shapiro says liberals create victims that are romanticised and therefore create politics people will be more into.
Ben has some views that trigger people and one of those is his climate change view. He says that barely any impact global warming has creates issues for people. Many think that he is stupid for believing people won’t be affected by this scientific problem.
He also says that black people used to be treated very wrong, but that in today’s America there is no issue with them. However, stats still show that African-American people have much more issues with the plice and there are different taxes in some states.
He said that abortion should be a criminal and that healthcare shouldn’t provide abortions in any way, shape or form.
Shapiro also gives lectures on camps and some of those are on his university called California State University. He talks about diversity as a problem where he says that diversity of thought will bring a lot of issues to this country in the future.
He also says that student protesters shouldn’t label his talks as hate speech, but they often do. Ben says that children nowadays are much more liberal and that there will be issues in the future.
Once, hundreds of young people protested by starting fights and creating problems on their local community collage when Shapiro was supposed to come. Shapiro said that the kids are spoiled and that they are the issue.
He had a few talks on DePaul University and also a few in University of California in Berkeley.
However, he feels like he is a target of people who hate Jews. Many think he is two-faced for saying this because he talks about other people’s issues as if they don’t exist today, yet feels threatened so they don’t understand how he can’t relate to them.
Personal life
Shapiro grew up with three sisters. In 2008, he got married to Mor Toledano. She has parents that have roots from Morocco and she is a Jew, like he is. His wife is a dotor.
They have two children, a daughter from 2014 and a son from 2016. They don’t like to share names and much info on the TV, especially because Ben is very popular and controversial so he has quite a lot of haters.
Many people don’t like the work od Ben Shapiro because he is famous to ignore facts. He says what he thinks, which is okay since he is a public person, but he pretends some facts aren’t real just to prove his point.
Although statistics often point the other way, Ben says that something doesn’t exist anymore, isn’t a problem anymore and he likes to say that people can fake some thing in order to get what they want.
However, everything leaks on the internet. His daughter’s name is Leeya Eliana Shapiro.
Many are speculating that he and his wife are getting a divorce in 2018, but no one confrimed this yet. He never talks about his wife in a bad way and one would think he treats her perfectly, but no one ever knows what’s going on behind the screen.
He has an Instagram profile with 775k followers and he posts videos of his work, his meetings with other people and he even posts his vacation pictures sometimes. However, there is quite a lot of hate on his pages and people can’t control themselves.
There is two kinds of people on his profiles: those who hate him and those who love him. If you’re somewhere in the middle, it may be a problem for you to be on his page since you will get bored of reading all of the stupid comments he has.
Many people fight on his Facebook too, especially republicans and democrats. However, these fights are rarely with Ben himself since he doesn’t respond to other people on his social media much.
There is a lot of controversy about him ignoring certain subjects too. People send him messages because they want to hear his opinion, but he tends to ignore them and makes the whole thing pretty stupid.
People love to make memes about his height and his phrase “I don’t care about your feelings” that he often tends to say. However, these are all jokes that don’t really bother Shapiro himself, but only create fun for the people that follow him.
