170M to 22M Views: Why Ben Shapiro is Destroying The Daily Wire

The high-profile exits of Candace Owens and Brett Cooper have left the internet asking one question: Is The Daily Wire finally collapsing?

It’s the headline nobody saw coming: Ben Shapiro destroys The Daily Wire. What started as a digital "Justice League" of the Right, founded by the fast-talking boy wonder Shapiro and the ambitious Hollywood castaway Jeremy Boreing, is now facing its most brutal identity crisis. From massive layoffs at their Nashville headquarters to reports of viewership numbers plummeting from 170 million to just 22 million, the house that billionaire fracking titans built is smelling blood in the water.

In this video, we go behind the scenes of the "Parallel Economy" to uncover the "crazy ex-stalker" shenanigans, the botched hand-off of The Comments Section, and the internal ideological purges that turned a $100 million empire into a corporate ghost town.
