Ben Shapiro is an Orthodox Jewish entrepreneur, journalist, commentator and author. He has written sixteen books, including The Authoritarian Moment: How the Left Weaponized America’s Institutions Against Dissent, and How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.

At age 17 he became America’s youngest nationally syndicated columnist, and has gone on to make a name for himself as one of America’s premier conservative commentators, making regular appearances on Fox News.

In 2015, Shapiro co-founded the news and opinion website “The Daily Wire”, together with Jeremy Boering. He currently serves as editor emeritus, as well as the host of the Ben Shapiro Show, broadcast every weekday.

He often participates in public debates, interviews and lectures at college campuses and on news outlets, including those affiliated with the political left. His lectures are regularly met with demonstrations and even riots by the Left in an attempt to silence him.
