0.418 - 16.248 Ben Shapiro

All righty, folks, tons to get to on today's show. President Trump's triumphant visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Plus, he heads on over to Qatar. We examine negotiations in Ukraine and the state of the economy. But first, the news is moving faster than ever. People have been telling us they can't make sense of it all. So we are giving you more Ben Shapiro show.

More facts, more analysis, more clarity. Same time every day in a new, longer format. So tune in on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts. Plus, brace yourselves. Ben After Dark returns this Friday night. Somehow, we're still being allowed to make this show.

30.836 - 42.605 Ben Shapiro

What started as a modest segment has now spiraled into a full-length member-exclusive fever dream, and frankly, we're too far gone to turn back right now. Airing exclusively at DailyWare+, Ben After Dark gives you more of what no one has ever asked for.

More unscripted opinions, more pop culture recklessness, more questions from celebrities with questionable judgment, and more segments that walk the fine line between genius and massive HR liability. This week on the show, I confront Ambassador Mike Huckabee with the question no one has dared to ask. Does he know about Bill Belichick's new girlfriend?

58.857 - 71.182 Ben Shapiro

Also, we field an unfiltered query from a mystery guest in our brand new segment, Friends with Ben Offits. Yes, we have writers for this show. I judge whether America truly has talent, including a singer with a voice so deep it might be tunneling into the earth's core.

71.262 - 87.869 Ben Shapiro

And of course, there's a fresh installment of Ben Destroys where I metaphorically set fire to the week's dumbest idea and then roast marshmallows in the flames. It's late night, but significantly worse. It's smart, but also stupid. It's the show that proves when you lower expectations far enough, anything can be entertainment. Ben After Dark, Friday night, dailywireplus.com, only for members.

88.089 - 105.036 Ben Shapiro

Come for the chaos. Stay because you're too confused to click away. So yesterday was a huge day for President Trump in Saudi Arabia. He arrived in Riyadh. He was greeted on the tarmac by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. MBS, as he is so-called, is obviously a signal figure in the Middle East.

105.316 - 126.771 Ben Shapiro

He's completely shifted the direction of Saudi Arabia away from sort of a Wahhabi version of Islam that was spreading terror tentacles all over the planet. That's what we all grew up with in the early 2000s and the 1990s and toward a regime of modernization. That, of course, is very difficult to do in the Middle East. And MBZ, as he's called, requires credit for that.

126.911 - 135.806 Ben Shapiro

And the reality is that modernizing the kingdom of Saudi Arabia so as to be more pro-Western, so as to be more modern, It's changed the entire Middle East.
