| 0:00.0 | Classified documents from Joe Biden's vice presidential office are found where they shouldn't be. |
| 0:04.6 | A new study reveals that Russian Facebook 2016 interference made no material difference, |
| 0:08.7 | and a brand new woke bag of all female M&Ms hits the market. |
| 0:12.6 | It's exciting stuff. |
| 0:14.1 | I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. |
| 0:24.1 | Okay, so this is the funniest story of the year. |
| 0:27.1 | And I know the year is young, but it's really, really funny. |
| 0:32.1 | So, as you'll recall, it has spent the last couple of years, really since the exit of Donald Trump from the presidency, waiting with bated breath as the media attempt to get him this |
| 0:36.4 | time. |
| 0:36.9 | They're going to get him. They're going to get him. |
| 0:37.8 | They're going to get him over Georgia voting or they're going to get him over January 6th or they're going to get him over classified documents being held at Mara Lago. And we were treated to all sorts of bizarre conspiracy theories about why all of these classified documents were found at Mara Lago, why Donald Trump was holding them there. there are all sorts of theories that he had the nuclear codes there, that he was going to |

He had a bunch of documents. He liked the documents. He didn't want to give back the documents. That is the entire thing. And everybody in the media treated it as though this was a massive scandal. He's out there. He's stealing the documents. He didn't want to give back the documents. That is the entire thing. And everybody in the |

It's a complex legal issue as to actually how documents get declassified and all that. But one thing is certain. The entire Democratic Party said it was |
| 1:48.0 | unthinkable, insane, ridiculous for a former president of the United States to have access |
