When Forgeard quizzed Shapiro about The Daily Wire\u2019s remarkable growth into a $200-million in-revenues company, Shapiro described a \u201cFull Send\u201d approach of his own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOriginally it started as just a news website, largely aggregation, my podcast, and a couple other podcasts and now it\u2019s grown to include an entertainment component,\u201d Shapiro told Forgeard and fellow Nelk Boy Aaron Steinberg.\u00a0\u201cNow we have a million subscribers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/full-send-podcast\/id1582758729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST EPISODE OF \u201cFULL SEND PODCAST\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shapiro noted the company has rolled out several successful movies, including \u201cRun, Hide, Fight,\u201d \u201cShut In,\u201d \u201cTerror on the Prairie,\u201d and bombshell documentaries \u201cWhat is a Woman?\u201d and \u201cThe Greatest Lie Ever Sold.\u201d Next year, \u00a0Shapiro said, The Daily Wire intends to launch a $100 million line of children\u2019s entertainment programming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo would you say it\u2019s almost like, not a Netflix competitor, but it\u2019s like a subscription-based model, like a platform competitor?\u201d Forgeard asked.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This one was a blast. We covered a ton of ground. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kIZkFeff79\">https:\/\/t.co\/kIZkFeff79<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benshapiro\/status\/1606109474296459264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 23, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat would eventually be the goal,\u201d Shapiro replied. Although Shapiro noted that Netflix currently has approximately 200 million subscribers, the insistence of it, Disney and other Hollywood companies on shoving woke sensibilities on customers who simply want entertainment has created a huge opening for The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro cited Disney\u2019s new animated movie \u201cStrange World,\u201d which features a gay teen who has a crush on a boy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a massive box office failure,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cDisney \u2026 didn\u2019t have to get the message that it\u2019s not that, you know, these issues can never be discussed.\u00a0But you do not have permission to discuss these issues with my five-year-old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pair picked Shapiro\u2019s brain about the 2024 presidential race, in which former President Trump could face a primary challenge from the governor of Florida, where Shapiro makes his home. It will be difficult for Ron DeSantis to pass up a run in two years, said Shapiro, noting the Sunshine State governor is riding a wave of popularity and \u201calso has in the bank a \u201c$150 million\u201d war chest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether the GOP candidate is Trump, DeSantis or someone else, Shapiro said he expects their opponent to be the 80-year-old current president, Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the best candidate for them aside from Michelle Obama. Yes, actually he\u2019s got to be a better candidate than Kamala Harris,\u201d Shapiro said.<\/p>\n<p>Foregeard and Steinberg pinned down the best-selling author and fellow podcaster down on a host of other topics in the news.<\/p>\n<p>On new Twitter boss Elon Musk\u2019s exposing of the platform\u2019s past censorship of conservatives: \u201cMore transparency is good. The team that he\u2019s got in there is much smaller and much more transparent, much more reactive.\u201dOn Shapiro\u2019s brief recent experiment with facial hair and its end at the hands of a Jeremy\u2019s razor: \u201cMy wife has absolute veto power. There\u2019s only one person I can sleep with.\u201dOn WNBA star Brittney Griner, who was freed from a Russian gulag in a swap for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout:\u00a0\u201cThe first WNBA trade anybody\u2019s ever noticed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro also discussed growing up in Burbank, California, where his mother, a Hollywood executive, and his father, a composer, began raising the family as Orthodox Jewish during his childhood. A violin prodigy who skipped two grades, Shapiro, now 38, once dreamed of a career in music.<\/p>\n<p>But he became an author, podcaster, conservative thought leader, and successful businessman when\u00a0his parents stepped in and told him he was not going to devote the rest of his life to music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dad, who was a musician and my mom who was married to a musician, was like, \u2018This is a bad idea,&#8217;\u201d Shapiro said. \u201c\u2018You\u2019re going to go get a job. You\u2019re going to go on a career path. It doesn\u2019t end with you, you know, playing in a bar tomorrow.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle Forgeard, leader of YouTube sensations The Nelk Boys recently dropped by Nashville, where he hit up Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro for his thoughts on politics, dating, Twitter, Brittney Griner, and how a certain media and entertainment company is taking on Hollywood in an interview this week.
