00:00Here's the thing, here's the thing, who are we to judge?
00:04Can we judge?
00:05And who are we to say that these people are not actual ponies?
00:08That's the real question.
00:09They've entered the pony space.
00:12Ben Shapiro, the conservative political commentator and media personality, is best known for his
00:17sharp rhetoric and controversial takes on social issues.
00:21As a prominent figure in right-wing circles, he's built a substantial following through
00:26his podcast, YouTube channel, and numerous public appearances.
00:30While his professional life often takes center stage, recent developments have turned the
00:35spotlight into his personal life.
00:38The Shapiro family background.
00:40It completely destroys and also creates your life.
00:42So it is both.
00:43It will completely destroy whatever social life you have, it will completely destroy
00:45your capacity to have fun outside the house for at least several months, and then it is
00:49the best thing ever because kids are just, they're incredible.
00:52The best thing that will ever happen to you and also the worst thing that will ever happen
00:55to you because when something happens that puts your child in a position of pain, it
00:58is the worst thing in the world.
01:00I have three of them now and I can safely say when something bad happens to my kids,
01:04it is significantly worse than when something bad happens to me.
01:06It is not close on any level.
01:08Ben Shapiro, born in 1984 in Los Angeles, comes from a family deeply rooted in Jewish
01:15tradition.
01:16His parents, David Shapiro and his wife, raised Ben and his sister, Abigail, with a strong
01:21emphasis on family values and education.
01:24David works as an executive in a multi-level marketing company while less is publicly known
01:29about Ben's mother.
01:31Growing up in Los Angeles undoubtedly shaped Ben's perspectives and experiences.
01:35The bustling city provided a backdrop for the development of his sharp intellect and
01:40political awareness.
01:41He has often credited his parents for instilling in him a strong moral compass and work ethic.
01:47Ben's sister, Abigail, has carved out her own path in the entertainment industry as
01:52an opera singer and actress.
01:54While the siblings have chosen different career paths, they maintain a close relationship.
02:00Ben Shapiro's Educational Journey
02:02I think that a lot of people are now awake to what their kids are being taught.
02:05I think a lot of parents, just like with colleges, I think there are a lot of alum who don't
02:08even bother to look at what colleges are teaching.
02:10They just sign a check to the school that they went to.
02:13And then when they're told, they're like, oh man, maybe I shouldn't have signed a check
02:15to this particular university.
02:17For a lot of parents, they just say, okay, well, I went to public school and my parents
02:20went to public school.
02:21My kids are going to public school.
02:22What could be so bad?
02:23Shapiro's academic prowess was evident early on.
02:26He skipped both third and ninth grades, graduating high school at just 16.
02:31He attended UCLA, where he majored in political science.
02:35His time there was marked by exceptional achievement.
02:38Despite his young age, he excelled in his studies, graduating summa cum laude at age
02:4320 with a Bachelor of Arts in political science.
02:46His academic success at UCLA laid the foundation for his future career as a political commentator
02:52and author.
02:53After completing his undergraduate degree, he continued his education at Harvard Law
02:57School where he earned his JD in 2007.
03:02Meeting more and building a family.
03:04You know what real life is like if you want to date seriously?
03:06Real life is you go and you see the person every single day and you sit next to them
03:09when they are working and you talk with them and you get lunch with them and you hang out
03:13with them and you go do favors for them and you get to know them really well.
03:16So I dated my wife for about three months, three and a half months before we got engaged.
03:19We started dating September 5th of 2007 and we got engaged on December 22nd of 2007.
03:32It was during his time at UCLA that Ben Shapiro met his future wife, Maura Toledano.
03:37The couple was introduced by Ben's sister, Abigail, who was Maura's classmate.
03:41Their courtship was brief but intense, with Ben proposing after only three months of dating.
03:47Maura Shapiro, born Maura Toledano in 1988 in Herzliya, Israel, moved to California with
03:53her family at age 12.
03:55Like Ben, she is of Jewish heritage with Moroccan roots.
03:59Maura's commitment to her faith aligned perfectly with Ben's as she had never dated outside
04:04of her Jewish faith and looked for a partner who shared her Orthodox Jewish beliefs.
04:09The couple married in 2008 in a traditional Jewish ceremony in Acre, Israel.
04:15Ben was 24 at the time, Maura was 20.
04:17Their wedding was a celebration of their shared faith and values, with Ben's father reciting
04:22a special poem for the occasion.
04:25Maura Shapiro's Career and Achievements
04:28Eric has a very serious question that probably a lot of people don't have the answer to.
04:31Is your wife a doctor?
04:33So the rumor is that she is.
04:35And the last 10 years of my life that I've spent watching her go through medical school
04:38and then residency all the time suggests that she is.
04:42You wonder why I'm so proud that my wife is a doctor?
04:44Number one, I'm proud of her because she's a special person and because that takes a
04:47lot of work.
04:48But second of all, it's my accomplishment too, okay?
04:51I was here for the whole thing.
04:53While Ben Shapiro has become a household name in conservative circles, Maura has built an
04:58impressive career of her own in the medical field.
05:01After completing her undergraduate degree in psychobiology at UCLA, she went on to earn
05:06her medical degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
05:11Specializing in family medicine, Maura has worked at the Kaiser Foundation Hospital in
05:15Fontana, California, and has been involved in resident education at the Geffen School
05:21of Medicine.
05:22Her focus on women's health and disease prevention has made her a respected figure in her field.
05:27Maura's commitment to medical ethics is evident in her co-founding of the Ethics Symposium
05:33at the David Geffen School of Medicine.
05:35This annual event emphasizes the importance of professionalism and bioethics in medical
05:41practice.
05:42Ben has often expressed pride in his wife's accomplishments, both as a doctor and a mother.
05:46In a Newsweek article celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary, Ben wrote about the importance
05:51of supporting each other's careers and ambitions.
05:56The Shapiro Children Ben and Maura Shapiro are parents to four children.
06:00Their eldest daughter, Leah Eliana, was born in 2014.
06:04The couple chose her name carefully, with Ben explaining in a letter to his newborn
06:08daughter that her first name represents her relationship with God, while her middle name
06:13expresses their gratitude for her birth.
06:15Leah's early years were marked by a significant health challenge.
06:19In 2015, at just one year old, she was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect, ASD, a congenital
06:25heart condition that causes a hole in the wall between the heart's upper chambers.
06:31While not immediately life-threatening, ASD can shorten life expectancy if left untreated.
06:36The Shapiros opted for open-heart surgery to correct the ASD.
06:41The procedure was successful, allowing Leah to grow up healthy.
06:44Following that, the Shapiros welcomed a son in 2016 and two more children in subsequent
06:50years, with their youngest born in 2023.
06:54Balancing Public Life and Family Privacy Despite Ben's high public profile, the family
06:59has made a concerted effort to maintain privacy, especially when it comes to their children.
07:05This decision is driven by several factors, including the desire to provide a normal upbringing
07:10for their kids and concerns about potential security risks associated with Ben's controversial
07:15public persona.
07:17Ben has been open about receiving death threats due to his outspoken conservative views.
07:22This reality has likely influenced the family's approach to social media and public appearances.
07:28Ben rarely posts pictures of his family online, explaining in an Instagram post announcing
07:33the birth of their third child,
07:35I don't post pics of my family to social media because of the nature of my work, but I just
07:40couldn't help sharing the news.
07:42More Shapiro has chosen to remain largely out of the public eye, despite her husband's
07:47fame.
07:48She does not maintain public social media profiles and rarely makes public appearances
07:52alongside Ben.
07:54This low profile allows her to focus on her medical career and family life without the
07:59added pressure of public scrutiny.
08:03Controversies and Public Perception While Shapiro's professional life has been
08:06marked by controversy due to his outspoken conservative views, more has largely avoided
08:11public scrutiny.
08:12In 2019, Ben revealed that he and his family had been the targets of death threats, leading
08:17to involvement from the FBI.
08:20A recent controversy involving Candace Owens, a former colleague of Shapiro at the Daily
08:25Wire, has cast a shadow over the conservative media outlet.
08:29Owens, known for her provocative commentary, found herself at the center of a storm due
08:34to her repeated embrace of anti-Semitic rhetoric.
08:38Following the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel, Owens made several controversial statements,
08:44including accusations of genocide against the Israeli government and insinuations about
08:48a sinister Jewish influence in Hollywood and Washington, D.C.
08:52These comments led to a public clash with Ben Shapiro, who criticized her disgraceful
08:57rhetoric.
08:58The situation escalated when Owens responded with a thinly-veiled anti-Semitic remark suggesting
09:04Shapiro couldn't quote, serve both God and money.
09:07This controversy ultimately resulted in the Daily Wire severing ties with Owens in early
09:122024, highlighting the complex dynamics within conservative media circles and the challenges
09:18faced by organizations like the Daily Wire in managing controversial personalities.
09:25Recent Developments and Future Prospects
09:37As of 2024, the Shapiro family continues to navigate the balance between Ben's public
09:42career and their desire for a normal family life.
09:45Ben's media company, the Daily Wire, has grown significantly, expanding into entertainment
09:50production alongside its news and commentary offerings.
09:54Maura Shapiro continues her medical practice, having relocated with the family from California
09:59to Florida in recent years.
10:01This move coincided with the Daily Wire's relocation to Nashville, Tennessee, though
10:06Ben primarily works remotely.
10:09Now it's time to hear from you.

10:15privacy?
