In this episode of The Ben Shapiro Show, Ben Shapiro delivers a scathing critique of the Biden administration's alleged targeting of pro-life activists, citing a Daily Wire report that reveals the DOJ collaborated with radical abortion groups like the National Abortion Federation and Planned Parenthood to gather intelligence on peaceful protesters. Shapiro argues this represents a pattern of Democratic weaponization of government power against religious and conservative groups, contrasting it with Trump's actions, which he frames as 'turnabout as fair play.' He also addresses the escalating public feud between President Trump and Pope Leo, criticizing Trump's personal rhetoric while affirming that political criticism of the Pope is legitimate. Shapiro contends that the Democratic Party's stance on abortion, transgenderism, and religious liberty makes it fundamentally hostile to Catholic values, and he warns that if Democrats had won in 2024, they would have used the Supreme Court to suppress religious expression. The episode also features a deep dive into the influence of foreign-backed propaganda networks, including figures like Alexander Dugan, Professor Zhang Zhiquin, and streamer Sneeko, who promote anti-American, anti-Semitic, and pro-Islamist narratives. Shapiro frames this as part of a broader 'Grievance Party' strategy to demoralize young men and undermine American exceptionalism. He concludes with an interview with Nick Fritas, who advocates for a return to biblical masculinity and personal responsibility as a solution to youth demoralization.
The Biden DOJ allegedly used pro-abortion groups to track and prosecute pro-life activists, violating civil liberties and demonstrating systemic animus.
Political criticism of the Pope is legitimate, but personal attacks are inappropriate; the Pope's moral teachings should be respected even when disagreeing with his prudential judgments.
The Democratic Party is portrayed as fundamentally hostile to religious freedom, particularly regarding abortion and transgender policies.
Foreign-backed influencers like Alexander Dugan and Sneeko are promoting anti-American, anti-Semitic, and pro-Islamist ideologies under the guise of conservatism.
Young men are being demoralized by both left-wing feminism and a toxic 'manosphere' that promotes hedonism over purpose; the solution is biblical masculinity rooted in responsibility and service.

The Biden Administration's War on Pro-Life Activists
βThe Biden DOJ was working with non-governmental organizations in order to target pro-life activists. And as it turns out, Daily Wire reporting looked into the sentences that were sought by the Biden DOJ against pro-life activists. And what they found is that the Biden DOJ asked for a longer average sentence for pro-life defendants compared to pro-abortion defendants.β
The Deep State and the Weaponization of Government
Shapiro argues that the Biden DOJ's actions reflect a long-standing pattern of left-wing government overreach, citing past abuses under Obama and Clinton, and criticizes the persistence of holdover officials like Sanjay Patel.
Trump vs. Pope: A Clash of Rhetoric and Principle
βThe Pope has been critical of our immigration policy but ultimately the immigration policy of the United States is set by Donald Trump. The Pope is going to have disagreements on other issues. We can respect the Pope. We certainly have a good relationship with the Vatican but we're also going to disagree on substantive questions from time to time.β
βWe don't want to just be strong and capable. We want to be strong and capable for something and for someone. I'm a Christian. I want to be strong and capable for my God. I want to be strong and capable for my wife. I want to be strong and capable for my children. And I want to be strong and capable for my country.β
βThe Pope just went to Algeria, which is in fact an Islamic state, a quasi-dictatorship... And there he met with a president named Abdel Madjid Taboun. Following Algerian independence... the population of Christians, just like in Lebanon, dropped precipitously. From 12% to less than 1%. Christians in Algeria are only allowed to pray in registered places.β
βAlexander Dugan and this weird streamer, Sneeko, and Professor Zhang are all saying the same thing as Hassan Piker. They're all saying the same thing. It is Alexander Dugan who wrote in 1997, it's quote, of the utmost importance to launch a geopolitical chaos in the domestic life.β
