Brett Cooper teaches Ben Shapiro about passport bros. He asks her if 'it's like the opposite of a mail-order bride?'

• Ben Shapiro turns to Brett Cooper for an update on pop culture, including passport bros.
• In a video with Brett Cooper, Shapiro said he too married a woman who was born overseas.

Ben Shapiro has given his verdict on passport bros — and to him, what they're doing sounds like just a more expensive version of seeking a mail-order bride.

On a recent episode of "The Ben Shapiro Show," Shapiro shared his thoughts with fellow conservative commentator Brett Cooper on passport bros, which he said he was learning about for the first time. An abridged version of the video was also posted on TikTok, and has garnered almost 10 million views.

"Passport bros are men that are so fed up with Western women because we're all apparently so woke and so terrible," Cooper said in the video, first posted on YouTube on May 19. She added that passport bros believe women from the West "don't want to be wives" so they travel overseas to marry foreign women.

"So it's like the opposite of a mail-order bride?" Shapiro confirmed with Cooper, adding that "it feels more expensive."

Cooper notes that it can actually turn out to be cheaper, pointing out that passport bros flock to places like Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and the Dominican Republic to find women. She added that passport bros get remote jobs and eventually meet women there to date.

"Women in the Western world — specifically the United States — are so pissed off about it," Cooper says.

Shapiro then talked about his wife Mor Shapiro, who was born overseas.

"I did marry a woman from abroad, she's been in America since she was 12. But still, she's Israeli," Shapiro said, adding that his wife eventually got US citizenship.

Cooper described Shapiro as a "reverse passport bro," and he agreed, saying: "Yeah, exactly."

"I did not import my wife," Shapiro said at the end of the video.

TikTok users expressed their support for the passport bro movement, with one user, Bradley Bynum, commenting: "I respect the passport bros."

"My husband told me that if he never met me, he would be a passport bro because he finds American girls to be too much," @bumblybeeboo commented.

In the original video, Shapiro explains that as he is a father and approaching 40, he will be having 21-year-old Cooper filling him in on pop culture trends — from sologamy on TikTok, which refers to the act of marrying oneself, to the "wet cigarette men" the Kardashians are dating.

Shapiro and Cooper are both known for sharing their conservative views on issues concerning Black Americans and transgender communities on The Daily Wire, a controversial website founded by Shapiro.

Several online users have previously questioned if Shapiro and Cooper are related, with some users pointing out that the two have an uncanny similarity. In a May interview with The Iced Coffee Hour, Cooper denied she was related to Shapiro.

Shapiro and Cooper did not respond to Insider's requests for comment, sent outside office hours.
