Summary

In a world split between noble Lions and destructive Scavengers, only the brave can lead the way. Ben Shapiro emphasizes that in a free country, inequality is rooted in differences of talent and work ethic—not oppression—and that the best solution to lack of success lies in duty and virtue. Lions and Scavengers is a gripping exploration of the ongoing war between those who cherish our nation and those who seek to undermine it. It's time to fight back. Enjoy this sneak peak of Chapter 1.  Preorder at DailyWire.com/Ben  - - - Today’s Sponsor: Birch Gold - Text BEN to 989898 for your free information kit. - - - Privacy Policy: https://www.dailywire.com/privacy Audio excerpt courtesy of Simon & Schuster Audio from LIONS AND SCAVENGERS by Ben Shapiro, read by the author. Copyright © 2025 by Ben Shapiro.

All right, folks, I hope that you're really enjoying your Labor Day weekend. I have a brand new book coming out this week, and I wanted to give you, our listeners, a sneak peek of what that book sounds like. The audiobook is available at Amazon.com. On Tuesday, you can get a signed copy of the book over at Daily Wire as well. So, without further ado, here is the introduction and first chapter of my brand new book, Lions and Scavengers. Introduction, London, England.

0:24.7

Attention lies at the core of our being. It roils us. It churns our guts. It boils our brains.

0:31.6

That tension lies between two opposing forces. Those forces beat within every man's breast.

0:37.2

They fight for supremacy within every

0:38.8

civilization. One must triumph and one must fall. The spirit of the lion, the spirit of the

0:45.4

scavenger. I write these words in London, England. I write them in disappointment and horror

0:52.1

and dismay, for London has been conquered by the scavengers.

0:56.4

Just last week, London saw a massive river of protesters, hundreds of thousands strong,

marching, their banners unfurled. The banners of terrorist groups and of communists and of

1:06.1

transgender activists gathered together to revolt against the civilization that has given them their rights

1:11.2

and their prosperity and their power. These marchers have gathered to protest in favor of the

1:21.9

of 250 others on October 7, 2023 in envelopes surrounding the Gaza Strip.

1:31.8

Members of Hamas and Palestinian civilians flooded into villages, a music festival,

1:32.4

homes.

1:34.4

They dragged out men, women, and children.

1:36.1

They live streamed their crimes.

1:40.3

And the scavengers have risen in rage in support of Hamas.

1:46.5

As the savagery, mass murder, rape, and kidnapping took place. One commentator posted on social media, what did y'all think decolonization meant? Vibes, papers, essays, losers. Her comment

received nearly 100,000 likes, and it spoke to the very core of the scavengers. All inhumanity
