What does it mean to be a conservative today? Ben Shapiro on Uncommon Knowledge Now. Welcome to Uncommon Knowledge. I'm Peter Robinson, recording today in Palm Beach. A native of Burbank, California, Ben Shapiro graduated from UCLA, then earned his law degree from Harvard.
He tried practicing law at a big fern, spending some months at Goodwin Proctor in Los Angeles, then set up his own legal outfit, Benjamin Shapiro Legal Consulting, and then, after graduating from Harvard Law School, left the practice of law altogether to launch himself into media. First, Mr. Shapiro spent several years at Breitbart News, and then in 2015 he co-founded The Daily Wire, now one of the most popular platforms in all of conservative media. Today Mr. Shapiro continues to host his podcast, The Ben Shapiro Show, five days a week, to speak on college campuses, to write books, the most recent of which is Lions and Scavengers, The True Story of America and Her Critics, and, as I have just learned, he has authored a screenplay.
In addition to this, he is the father of a growing family. Ben, welcome. And thanks for driving over from Boca Ratan. I appreciate it. Thank you.
