- The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro is testifying before Congress on the alleged conspiracy to suppress conservative voices under the guise of "brand safety." Ben's testimony will expose the political motivations behind this censorship, its impact on media freedom, and their failed attempts to permanently silence voices like The Daily Wire, Fox News, and Joe Rogan.

Shapiro in congress was what I needed today
100% agree.
Yes indeed
Ben is 30 I.Q. points ahead of anyone else who spoke.
It's akin to a heavyweight champ fighting some tough guys at a bar, our congress is a f-ing disgrace.
@@thordoo3047 Exactly, Ben is like an elite heavyweight Greco-Roman champ at the University of Iowa and congress is full of the equivalent of rip-roaring drunk loud-mouth tough guys playing pool who have lost all hand-eye coordination...pretty sad.
Agreed.😂
And thats at the lowest 😂 bros smart af
1:41:42 way to go Ben
Good job Ben!!!! YOU ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha good one
lmao
We're laughing WITH You. Gotta laugh! Excellent testimony, as always.
😂
😂😂😂
They don't wanna ask Ben questions. Lol..he will run circles around those democrats
I was hoping they would bite the fish hook.
Swalwell: "We we brought some receipts. Oooh! Look!"
"Yes, I am a religious Jew. You found me out. Yes I agree with me."
I like that he agreed with Jewish Ben too.
Ben absolutely wrecked Swalwell lmaoo
It was epic🔥🔥🔥
Mcclintock said to Swalwell. The first rule of holes, when you are in on stop digging.
What is the time marker on that moment?

Why are our elected officials allowed to give their soundbite and then leave a congressional hearing? Shouldn't they have to stay and do their jobs? I can't just walk out of my job after an hour and stay employed.
I think they have multiple committees going on at the same time so some of them are running off to another meeting to do the same thing again. I agree with you on it. They should be giving their full attention and actually listening to the whole preceding if they want to put their two cents in.
They fear Ben "Leftist Argument Killer" Shapiro
They are probably going to other committee hearings. Sometimes they overlap with each other.
While I agree that there may be other committee meetings going on that members have to go to, it doesn't explain why one side of the room seems to be mostly "empty" while the other side is not. I suppose it could go back to the fact that one side views the whole thing as a "sham" while the other is committed to pressing a point, but everything I watched so far doesn't give me that impression. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If they have an overlapping committee meeting the scheduling needs to be changed. Don't be on a committee or make remarks if you aren't available to listen to the whole proceeding. What's the point of having a hearing if nobody's there to "hear" all the testimony? That is like having an argument with someone who states their viewpoint and then walks away. Not very functional for actual resolution or problem solving.
The fact that they keep denigrating Ben as a bitter podcaster is so disingenuous. The man is a Harvard educated lawyer who understands economics and public policy better than anyone in the room.
Israel first aren’t real Americans
Ben Shapiro lies this month. It’s July
Ms Spartz is amazing. She knows what the tricks of socialists and Marxists.

Swalwell is a great example of someone that should be removed and banned from public office. Along with Nadler etc...
Pretty much all Democrats and half of Republicans.
dont forget about pajiapol what a loser
Nope. People voted for these losers. Have to deal with them.
That is the dumbest person I believe I ever heard-Swalwell. He even mentioned that his parents weren't proud of him
Shapiro missed a huge opportunity to corner him with a clap back concerning his sexual escapades with foreign spies.
Daily Wire literally said "we have a hulk" and sent Ben out lol
I could see someone making a Hulk meme with Ben as the face and Swallwell as Loki getting slammed to the floor
bro was relentless
@@joshbabeu3285 Swallwell is fart
I don't think you know what literally means
@@CorriganM08 you're really gonna be that guy, huh...?
The amount of mischaracterization of the Republican stance in congress by the Democratic members is prolific throughout this hearing.
They are lashing out because they big mad.
1st rule of holes: when you are in one, STOP DIGGING 😂😂😂😂😂
1. Read a speech explaining nothing wrong is happening.
2. Complain about sex traffic and child abuse.
3. Mention 2025 and off topic concerns.
4. Do anything but engage in legitimate conversation and questioning of the problem.
Great summary.
5. Run away without hearing a response from Ben.
Lmao!!! I watch a lot of these, and this is exactly the pattern. But don't forget... you must tie "Trump" or "MAGA" to it.
You forgot “ Complain about this being a sham and wasting taxpayer money”
@mikeaninger7388 😂😂😂
Swallwell thought he could pull a fast one on Ben he’s always ready he said “you found me out, yes I agree with me” 😂
As much as Ben made Swalwell looks like a fool, I actually laughed when McClintock said “you forgot the first rule of holes. When you’re in one, stop digging.”
Please spare me the "our children" balloney. They dont care two craps about my kids.
Right! They sure don’t seem to care about the 85,000 missing unaccompanied children at our OPEN border.
You'd think the dems would be more bothered that their child sex abuse is losing out on ad revenue.
Ben’s voice awakened this entire discussion with only truth, with facts 👏🏾 Hallelujah 🙏🏾
How the majority of the reps on the left leave after they speak, and how a large amount of reps on the right stay to actually listen to what is being discussed, really shows who actually care.
Edit: 3:11:22 As Rep Balint sais "this is something we should all take to heart" literally nobody on her side of the pannel is there to hear it. This directly proves my point.
They are actors following scripts. They have zero interest in actual discussion. Ben embarrassed the one who actually bothered to engage in some kind of dialogue with him.
The Dem reps probably have a lot a meetings today going on behind the scenes to continue their fight to get Biden to step down.
They are/will be concerned when it starts affecting their speech.
Dems are just actors to their largest donators
@@MrLathor Sad but true. It was amusing how literally everyone on the left was petrified of the idea of speaking to Ben.
I'm surprised Ben didn't stop half way through to talk about zip recruiter
😂
Man imagine how much zip recruiter would pay for a C-SPAN ad.
it just occurred to me though, it's awfully interesting that a business used by employers to hire employees is one of the few businesses that will advertise on conservative content. Liberal consooomers vs conservative prodooocers.
😂😂
😂
On point, as always, Shapiro. Thanks for representing all us conservatives on Capital Hill. You're fighting for all of us when you fight for Daily Wire...
Great job Mr. Shapiro and thank you
it's actually pronounced Shapiro, my uncle's name was Shapiro but his son's name is Shapiro
I thought British politics was bad, but my lord the way the democrats kiss the posterior of the big companies and gaslight continuously was truly disgusting
they're not kissing the posterior, they're tonguing the rim. maybe slipping it in a little, too. that's why there's such a big ass-eating psyop going on these days.
Child trafficking is rampant in illegal border crossings, yet I don’t see advertisers pulling ads from companies who support lax border policies. But then turn around and say this is a central concern in their brand safety initiatives.
I find it funny that none of the dems wanted to engage with Shapiro. They know better...
Well, except for Swalwell...
Listening to Ben’s show has me listening to this at 2X
Same lol
Ummmm... I listen to Ben's show at 2x... Am I gonna need 4x for this?
Not because he is such a fast talker but because these partisan representatives say nothing new! They’re not even listening or trying to have a conversation or understand a viewpoint - just grandstand.
Ben is definitely speaking slower than normal for these people. He could have said much more in his 5 minute opening statement if he was speaking at his normal rate 😆💀. He probably wants to be heard/understood so he slowed his speech down.
Me and my bro did an experiment once where we cycled through the playback speed on Spotify while listening to Ben Shapiro. The results were hilarious.
It must have sucked for jerry nadler to point out all the accomplishments of the daily wire.
I rather enjoyed that part
Shapiro handled Swallwell like a master of public speaking. It's so great that he can speak fast so that he can get his point across before Swallwell can try to interrupt and move on.
Boycott EVERY COMPANY THAT IS SIGNED ON WITH GARM. (RYHMES WITH HARM.)
Ben's probably thinking "and these are the best and brightest we could find for office?"
I hope he runs for some form of office after his kids are older, even if it isn’t president like everyone wants me. We seriously need more sharp minds with good foundations in office
@wilderking8476 He has mentioned before that he'd prefer not to but I agree.
@@carlweber9740 you know Trump once said he didnt really want to, so anything can happen if it gets bad enough.

Swalwell tried to match intellect with Ben. Wow! Was that a train wreck.
There is nothing intelligent about a bigot who wont directly answer a question and lies.
Like him or not - Ben Shapiro is a VERY bright man. That was some pretty darn good testifying.
There could be no greater indictment of the people of Georgia than the fact that Hank Johnson is still in congress.
Goodness...and we thought Biden was a bit slow.
Johnson is a gem. National treasure🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
@@DebidawgJohnson is a pawn..but that GA treasure is really the nation's trash. Liberalism is not your friend🙏🏾
Preach!!!
Guam hasn’t tipped over…….yet
What did Swalwell think he was doing with Ben's quote about homosexuality being a sin? Did he think Ben would contradict himself? Yeah, spoiler alert: he didn't.
I was waiting for Swalwell to pass gas.
"I agree with myself." All that money wasted on those demonstration boards.
Seriously, all the effort making boards with his quotes to make a point and clearly had no effect.
I have never sat down and watched a full length congressional hearing. I've always considered this stuff very boring. But this is a first. When I heard Ben Shapiro was a witness in congress, I wanted to see it. And I planned to skim this. Some how, despite my ADHD, I was enthralled to watch all of it. Thanks so much for posting this for us to watch. I learned a lot.
The Ben Shapiro show doing well does not undercut the argument that their content is being unjustly censored. That's like saying there's no such thing as shoplifting because wal-mart is still making money.
I mean... He did censor Candice Owens soooo, I don't know why he's crying when it happens to him
@@ronniekregar3482nope, she was never censored. Her contract ran out and wasn’t renewed, and deservedly so. She’s antisemitic filth.
Especially considering very early on Ben made the point that the daily wire no longer depends primarily on advertisement for revenue. The Daily Wire is big enough now for that to be irrelevant.
@@ronniekregar3482he didn’t censor her he fired her
@@ronniekregar3482 much as I like Candace Owens I can see why she and the Daily Wire didn't get along. Not gonna pretend Ben is totally innocent, but as @duncanwells0088 points out there's a big difference between an alliance of corporations banding together to control ad revenue and one media company firing a host whose views they don't like.
God bless Ben Shapiro.
Congress looking around like "who let Ben in? Which intern needs to be fired?"
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Or even better yet. Where is that fire alarm.
Which UNPAID intern*
There you go, I corrected it for you.
Ben: "I agree with myself, yes." Lol
Thank you Ben Shapiro!!!
The fact that Hank Johnson is still sitting up there pisses me off to no end. The man genuinely asked if Guam would tip over due to population size. He's got to be one of the dumbest people elected to public office, and there he sits, still soaking up taxpayer money.
He sounded like a Biden advertisement, awkwardly interjecting comments about project 2025.
I watched that and will never forget. He is literally dumber than Forrest Gump.
Believe me, you'd understand why he's still in office if you visited any city within his district.
The GARM-aligned rep should be legally required to wink in an exaggerated fashion every time he says that members are free to advertise where they want.
😂😂😂
Lol agree. Its the illusion of choice just because you got to say "yes" doesn't mean you chose "yes".
Swalwell kept that poster of Ben next to him in his office, looks at it everyday and says “I’ve got this.”
😂😂😂😂
Mr Juhl looks like a sneaky villain in a Deadpool movie
Haha I thought he looked rather evil. That look he had on his face….
Ben destroyed Swalwell
Needless to say he left Swalwell with a swollen throat.
“ I agree with me, yes. “ 😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾
After swalwell NO ONE is asking Shapiro a questions lol
If companies are not forced to do business with anyone, explain the gay wedding cake incident.
incident(s)* 😁
Wow, Swallwell's Freudian slip ("I want less efficiency") was EPIC 🤣
Also he says, “you can’t yell theater in a crowded fire” 😂😂😂😂
@@migorpan2051😂😂Yeah..he was in a tailspin! Glorious to witness🎉
Ok, so I wasn't the only one that caught that.
Lol, you need to learn the meaning of a freudian slip...
@@ronniekregar3482
Freud·i·an slip
/ˌfroidēən ˈslip/

The tone and talking down attitudes of some of these congress people dumbs the entire room. I’d rather listen to a dog barking for 3 hours than listen to them. Good grief 💀🤦🏻♀️.
That's why there's Ben. He brings your IQ back up after listening to some of those.
Pierce Morgan says "no you don't"
Not always the biggest fan of Ben or the DW, but thank you for doing this. Ben is a top tier choice to represent conservative media on an issue like this.
Nadler is such a snake
Go get 'em Ben! God bless you😎
Wah. This was far worse than I thought.
What is it about these progreesives types that they cannot give straight answers when questioned?
Why would they? They know they won't face any consequences, so they'll continue to obfuscate and lie straight to your face in order to further their goals. Conservatives keep playing this dumb game where we assume everyone is acting in good faith, meanwhile the Democrats keep actually achieving things with word games and we're too stupid to notice or stop it.
They live in the gray area and no longer recognize truth? My best guess.
It’s called Communism. Which is really just Marxism. They rebrand everything because the truth would bring about the best disinfectant and the young “hip” and brainwashed would run. .
why would they say the truth? they are paid to lie XD
Because if they speak objectively or give a straight forward answer they know exactly how that looks to the vast majority of people.
As much as I love how Ben handled himself, can we appreciate how Ms. Hageman just handed them their ass.
Nadler needs to go away...along with the rest of the swamp rats...
right down the drain...
"It seems that Democrats on this committee, sort of like Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, if they say 'Project 2025' enough their presidential candidate becomes alive again" BWAHAHAHAHA!
Earth to Ms. Jayapal! Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric IS anti-child abuse rhetoric.
It is absolutely hilarious to me to see democrats suddenly care about children and capitalism, lol.
Bingo!
Yup!
By their logic, I could open a restaurant or bar and stop whoever I wanted from coming in to "protect the brand" of my business.
Yeah, I kept wondering how this would all sound if it were POC being excluded from marketing. They're free to do whatever they want. Yeah right.
So true. Let's just say, if some people rioted, looted, and they were majority one race. Just if. Then, there was a podcaster of that specific race, and advertisers said they didn't want to advertise there because they didn't want to be associated with riots or looting, something tells me that wouldn't go over very well.

Thank you
Bravo, Ben! You did superbly and Swalwell was clearly out of his depth.
'This commitee meeting is a waste of time, and we should be focused on more important things like education and prison reform.'
So... basically, you only want committees to exist for things you care about.
And so why are you here? There are other committees, other people, focused on those things.
That's like saying that because you only care about ending cancer, no one should ever focus on STDs, diabetes, or alzheimer's. Wow.

Ben, ASTOUNDING showing. Thank God for that man being on our side.
As a female in the Dove target market range... we (my household) no longer buy Dove for our home due to offensive, woke ad campaigns they ran within the past 2 years. Most women have the household buying power and I vote with my dollars for my family; we now use Jeremy's soap and another smaller brand.
I no longer purchase Dove after using it for years. These “woke ads” are offensive for many women! They may not see the loss yet but they really don’t care. I personally think the conservative group they are rejecting is actually closer to 60-70 % of their customers. If all conservative families used the purchasing power they have, the Company would see the actual percentage of customers!
I have three bottles of Dove body wash that I refuse to use yet can’t bring myself to throw out! Agree totally.
I don’t think Jeremy’s soap is a better alternative. Their commercials are just as sleazy and offensive, just not woke.

Good job Ben!
Thanks for representing those of us who want our freedoms!
Hate speech, misinformation, and disinformation are not a thing! There is only truth and lies!
I can't stand how Democrats tend to use the term "hate speech". They use it for whatever they don't like or agree with, which is exactly why it isn't actually illegal in the USA. It isn't even a thing. Yet, they tend to use it all the time. For example, to them, someone saying "a man cannot be a woman" could be hate speech. It's ridiculous.

Jim Jordan is just magnificent! Thank God for men like him and Ben!
I seem to have been mistaken; I thought that the US government was meant to serve the citizens of America, not the businesses operating within the country. It is concerning that citizens are often referred to simply as consumers, which seems to reveal the primary interests that are being prioritized and protected.
does anyone else feel like youtube will unsubscribe you from seemingly conservative channels? I know for a fact that I've been subscribed to certain channels and will check and the subscription is gone and I'll have to resubscribe.. very shady
@@bballjj18 yes because I was subscribed to Daily Wire and just had to resub when I watched this.
It happens to me too. All the time.
Happens in spite of listening to those channels routinely but it’s not just political channels for me - cooking and music theory channels where you watch to learn as well. Makes you wonder if learning is what’s targeting the channel as conservative!? 🤪
Indeed. Im unsubscribed as well.

I thought that the most embarrassing moment for Eric Swalwell was when he busted a loud fart on live TV, but that was until I watched this hearing.
Apparently this hearing wasn't about media freedom, but Project 2025.
Weird that advertisers haven't pulled from social media after all the 2025 conspiracy theories. I wonder why that coul(d) be....
I'd like a "pointlessly brings up project 2025 counter" as well as a "missatributes project 2025 to Trump" counter, though they'd be basically the same thing.
Aside from Ben, Ms. Spartz gave the most useful and powerful commentary of the entire hearing.
It amazes me how often legal immigrants love this country more than natural born spoiled citizens who take it for granted.
