In a recent podcast, Ben Shapiro discusses the release of a new film called "Lady Ballers" by the Daily Wire. The film is a comedy that satirizes the current trend of allowing men to compete in women's sports. The trailer for the film is shown, and Ben is joined by the director, writer, and star of the film, Jeremy Boreing. They discuss the inception of the idea for the film and the challenges they faced in getting it made.The film was created in response to the lack of comedy in the mainstream media during the Obama administration. The team at the Daily Wire felt that there was a need for a film that could mock the absurdity of allowing men to compete in women's sports. They decided to take on the project themselves when they were unable to find actors willing to participate due to the controversial nature of the topic.
The film features a star-studded cast of conservative figures, including Ted Cruz, Matt Walsh, and Riley Gaines. The team faced challenges in getting the film made, but they were committed to creating a comedy that could highlight the absurdity of the current cultural climate.
The film has received positive feedback on social media, with many people expressing excitement for its release. The team hopes that the film will bring back the style of comedy that was popular in the early 2000s and provide a much-needed break from the current political correctness in entertainment.
In addition to discussing the film, Shapiro also delves into the serious news of the day, including Elon Musk's visit to Israel and the ongoing conflict in the region. He emphasizes the need to destroy Hamas and reform the education system in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in order to bring about lasting peace and prosperity in the region.
He also addresses the calls from some members of the Democratic Party to condition aid to Israel, arguing that such a move would be counterproductive and only serve to prolong the conflict. He also questions the viability of the two-state solution, arguing that it would only lead to the creation of a terror state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Shapiro also addresses the issue of anti-Semitism, which has seen a significant uptick since the conflict escalated on October 7th. He highlights the power of social media in spreading hate and misinformation, leading to boycotts of businesses and even protests in schools. Shapiro is then joined by Montana Tucker, a model, singer, dancer, and activist, who he commends for her efforts in fighting anti-Semitism. Tucker shares her personal connection to the Holocaust, having grown up with Holocaust survivor grandparents, and discusses her documentary series on the topic. She emphasizes the importance of taking anti-Semitism seriously and the need to protect Israel.
The conversation delves into the denialism surrounding the conflict, with many people on social media denying the atrocities committed by Hamas. Tucker urges people to watch the footage of the hostages being returned to understand the gravity of the situation. Both Shapiro and Tucker stress the importance of truth and facts in combating misinformation and hate speech.
Shapiro also touches on the political landscape, noting that former President Trump is currently leading in the polls in several battleground states. He discusses the economic challenges facing the Biden administration, with many Biden supporters expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of the economy.
