Podbit · The Ben Shapiro Show
During the roughly one-month ceasefire between mid-June and mid-July, Iran exported 70 million barrels of oil worth $5–6 billion. The Wall Street Journal reported Iran used that window to rearm — a strategic error the US is now paying for.

With American blood spilled, the Trump administration moved swiftly: CENTCOM confirmed new airstrikes against Iran at the president's direction, targeting Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and punish IRGC forces. President Trump, speaking to NewsNation, called the deaths 'very sad' but reaffirmed that the United States will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Shapiro maps out the broader U.S. objective: destroying Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile capacity, dismantling its military, and collapsing its economy. [1] — Ben Shapiro "Iran's currency has collapsed to 2 million rial per US dollar — down from roughly 70,000 at the end of last year. Iran can no longer export…" 02:10 On that last front, the numbers are staggering — Iran's currency has fallen to 2 million rial per dollar from roughly 70,000 at the end of last year. Iran can no longer freely export its oil, and the Wall Street Journal reported that the one-month ceasefire between mid-June and mid-July allowed Iran to ship 70 million barrels of oil worth $5–6 billion — a strategic misstep Shapiro implies the U.S. will not repeat.

Iran's currency has collapsed to 2 million rial per US dollar — down from roughly 70,000 at the end of last year. Iran can no longer export its oil freely, and the US is degrading its control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's economy has collapsed to 2 million rial per US dollar, compared to roughly 70,000 rial at the end of last year.
The roughly one-month ceasefire window allowed Iran to rearm and export oil before the US resumed strikes.
Iran shipped roughly 70 million barrels of oil worth $5–6 billion during the approximately one-month ceasefire period between mid-June and mid-July.
Iran is striking US allies across the Middle East but deliberately avoiding Israel because a strike on Israel would likely trigger regime-ending retaliation.
Iran is striking US bases in Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, and Jordan — but conspicuously not Israel. The reason is simple: Israel has made crystal clear it will respond to any strike with regime-ending force, including targeting South Pars gas fields and key regime figures.
After a tabloid savaged him for months over his broken engagement, Kierkegaard turned his personal humiliation into devastating philosophical critique. He argued that mass media creates a phantom 'public opinion,' incentivizes people to suppress their individuality, and produces the leveling effect — a culture where standing out is a liability.
Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
