Ben Shapiro is an American conservative political commentator, lawyer, author, and media personality, known for his sharp debating style and outspoken views on culture, politics, and current events. Born on January 15, 1984, in Los Angeles, California, he showed early academic talent, skipping two grades and graduating from UCLA at age 20 before earning a law degree from Harvard Law School.
Shapiro first gained national attention as a syndicated columnist in his teens and later as the author of several bestselling books, including Brainwashed (2004), Bullies (2012), and The Authoritarian Moment (2021). He became a prominent voice in conservative media as the co-founder of The Daily Wire, where he serves as editor emeritus and hosts “The Ben Shapiro Show,” one of the most popular political podcasts in the U.S.
Recognized for his fast-paced speaking style and combative debate approach, Shapiro frequently appears on television, college campuses, and online platforms, where he addresses issues ranging from free speech and media bias to cultural and political polarization.
While admired by supporters for his articulate defense of conservative principles, he is also a polarizing figure, often criticized by opponents for the intensity of his rhetoric. Nonetheless, he remains one of the most influential conservative voices of his generation.
