Ben Shapiro Has Reached New Lows Of Self-Awareness

The Daily Wire has built a media empire telling its audience who’s lying, who’s corrupt, and which countries are our greatest allies. But when the people keeping the lights on find themselves in hot water, a studio, camera crew, and an hour of airtime suddenly appear to tell their side of the story.

Enter Ben Shapiro and Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour.

Utah dropped 14 criminal counts against the prediction-market company and its co-founders Wednesday, accusing them of promoting illegal online gambling. What else happened Wednesday? Shapiro released an hour-long interview with Mansour, giving the exec a platform to explain why his company is actually … a force for good?

I’ve always said the best thing we can do for young men is introduce them to crippling gambling habits. Glad Ben gets it too.

Shapiro said the interview was recorded 48 hours before Utah announced the criminal charges. But don’t be mistaken; this was no coincidence.

Utah had already announced the suit against Kalshi over its sports contracts earlier this month, so the CEO knew the site was in its crosshairs.

Releasing the interview the same day the charges dropped, the Daily Wire had a fresh, polished defense of Kalshi’s business model straight from the CEO ready to go just as the company’s legal troubles became a national headline.

Crisis PR firms everywhere — take notes.
