Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro joins host Tim Rice on Behind the Story to discuss the backlash against Pawn Shop, Daily Wire’s latest film, and the efforts to shut down its production in Livingston, Montana. Shapiro explains how protests, crew intimidation, and an attempted permit suspension by the city council threatened the production, and why the fight reflects a broader battle over political bias in Hollywood. He also discusses Daily Wire’s growing film slate, including Confession starring Rob Lowe and James Franco, and the company’s plans to challenge the traditional entertainment industry.

Why is journalist and attorney Margot Cleveland suing Dearborn, Michigan? In this episode of The Brief: Insights From The Inside, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Margot Cleveland, senior legal correspondent for The Federalist and counsel for the New Civil Liberties Alliance, to discuss her federal civil-rights lawsuit against the City of Dearborn and Mayor Abdullah Hammoud. Cleveland alleges that Dearborn used taxpayer money and city property to celebrate Ramadan while ignoring repeated requests for comparable recognition of Easter, Passover, and other Christian and Jewish holidays. She says the issue is not whether the city can recognize Ramadan — but whether government officials can favor one faith while refusing equal treatment to others. The conversation covers the First Amendment, the Establishment Clause, equal protection, religious liberty, Ramadan banners, a crescent-moon display in a public park, city-funded religious messaging, public-records requests, and Cleveland’s claim that Dearborn retaliated against her after she spoke out as both a resident and a journalist.

Having been in the Press Briefing Room myself, I’ve seen up close and personal the people having an absolute meltdown about the "ban" for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House... and they don’t deserve your sympathy. Not only is this not REMOTELY a violation of the First Amendment–and free speech is still hugely important for us to continue fighting for–but the very people demanding your outrage have a documented history of hating free speech. Today we’re getting into what this "ban" really means in the White House Press Pool and who I’d like to see up front in the Press Briefing Room instead of Kaitlyn Collins. Are you upset about this decision from the White House, or hoping to see more independent media covering the government? Let us know what you think in the comments 👇

The Trump White House "bans" CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House; a New York Times Pulitzer prize-winner explaining that she betrayed her own child for the sake of political correctness; and Ms. Rachel’s and Zohran Mamdani’s favorite "photojournalist" simply loves terrorism.
