President Donald Trump shared a video on his Truth Social platform that highlights Ben Shapiro’s interview with Mark Levin, in which Shapiro praises the Daily Wire’s new action film, ‘Run Hide Fight: Infidels.’ The clip begins with Levin calling the film ‘fantastic,’ emphasizing its avoidance of political correctness prevalent in Hollywood. He further describes the film as a ‘tour de force’ and urges Shapiro to explain why the Daily Wire made it.
Shapiro Explains the Film’s Message
Shapiro explains that the film is both entertaining and informative, stating it is one of the few in the last two decades that accurately portrays the threat of radical Islam. He highlights the film’s depiction of a scenario where terrorists take over an American university, creating a ‘mini caliphate’ and demonstrating the real-world consequences of such an event. Shapiro notes that the film’s portrayal aligns with real-world threats, such as the treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals in extremist contexts.
Trump’s Endorsement and Film Details
Trump posted the full clip to his 13 million followers, including discussion of Republican midterm strategy and the Iran war. The film, which premiered on September 16, is written and directed by Kyle Rankin, and produced by Shapiro and Dallas Sonnier. It is a standalone follow-up to the 2020 film ‘Run Hide Fight,’ marking the Daily Wire’s first feature film.
The film stars Jonathan Majors as Clay Saunders, a retired Delta Force operator who teams up with students to fight back against the terrorists. Majors, known for his role in ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,’ described the role as an opportunity to grow as an artist. He emphasized the character’s significant responsibilities within the film.
Levin and Shapiro Highlight the Film’s Impact
Levin concludes the interview by praising The Daily Wire for using entertainment as a medium to deliver a powerful message to new audiences. Shapiro notes that the film is the first entry in the company’s new entertainment strategy, with more projects in the pipeline.
