So we now know that the Clinton campaign understood in real time that Hillary Clinton was lying about her private email server. According to campaign chairman John Podesta, Hillary lawyer David Kendall, former State Department Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, and former senior advisor Philippe Rains, sure weren't forthcoming on the facts here. It's a direct quote. One of Hillary's friends, activist Nera Tansin, replied quote, this is a Cheryl's special, like Cheryl Mills.

No, you love her, but this stuff is like her Achilles heel, or kryptonite.

She can't say no to this bleep. Why didn't they get this stuff out like 18 months ago? So crazy. I guess I know the answer. They wanted to get away with it, unquote. These are Hillary's allies. Tandon rightly pointed out, the Clinton campaign should have released all the emails immediately if they wanted to avoid scrutiny.

But as always, they hid the truth because they are pathological, paranoid liars. And the lies extend all the way up the chain. According to an email from Cheryl Mills, President Obama was lying when he said in 2015 that he learned about Hillary's private emails, quote, the same time everybody else learned it through news reports. Mills wrote, quote, we need to clean this up. He has emails from her. They do not say state.gov. Obama's press secretary, Josh Ernest, came out days after Obama's lies, fibbing again, quote, the point the president was making is not. He didn't know Secretary Clinton's email address. He did. But he wasn't aware of the details of how that email address and that server had been set up, or how Secretary Clinton and her team were planning to comply

with the Federal Records Act. Meanwhile, ABC News reports, the State Department still hasn't gotten back

to the National Archives and Records Administration, called NARA, on their request for records

from months ago for emails concerning Hillary Tech aide Brian Pagliano. Nara informed the State Department on July 18th to explain why there were no Pagliano emails. He was obligated by a lot of turn over those emails. Three months later, nothing. Zip Nata, they've turned over nothing. Hillary Clinton has used the government as her personal cover-up service for decades.

She did it while she was in the White House with her charlatan husband.

She did it at the State Department.

Is there any doubt she would pervert the executive branch to her own purposes as presidents of the United States?

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

All righty. So we are back from the last of the Jewish holidays. So we should not have any breaks now between now and the election, which is 13 long, endless days away.

Time is now moving backwards as we approach the election because that's what happens in horror movies. You just feel that horrible feeling creep up your neck and the movie seems to last twice as long as you thought it would because it's so frightening. Yes, that is where we now are in this election cycle, 13 days until Armageddon. But before we get to that, a positive note from Birch Gold, our friends over at Birch Gold, if you are afraid of the apocalypse, nor are just afraid that the economy is overblown,

that we're due for another recession, that the stock market and real estate market are overvalued, because they are. You might want to give my friends over at Birch Gold Group a call.

and real estate market. My friends at Birchgold can help you out. Birchgold.com slash Ben. Okay,

so lots to get to. We will, of course, get to Newt Gingrich versus Megan Kelly, the only thing

anyone wants to talk about today. We'll get to that in just a second. But first, some stories that the mainstream media obviously don't want to talk about. The first of this is that Obamacare is absolutely collapsing. So in 38 states across the country, the premiums have risen by a significant amount, according to the Associated Press, as much as 25% in some states. It was built to be this way. We all know that it was going to be this way. As I mentioned last week when we talked about Obamacare's rising premiums, Obamacare was built on the great lie that young people were going to pay for insurance they don't need, and that was going to be used to redistribute the insurance coverage to older people and to people who couldn't afford it.

That was the idea. Turns out young people just said, screw it, I'll pay the fine. And so that's what they've been doing. And it also turns out that the other part of Obamacare was that Medicaid would be expanded in the states, sponsored by the federal government. a lot of conservative states said, we're not going to expand Medicaid because the federal government is promising to pay it right now, but they won't be paying it in five years, and then we'll end up picking up the tab for this expanded Medicaid. And so a lot of people are not on insurance, and that means that the insurance companies have been sort of forced to cover a lot of people who are in poor health, and the insurance premiums are skyrocketing. So people are not being covered in a lot of these states. Plus, the insurance premiums are up. So it's the worst of all possible worlds. And this is how it was built to be. Obamacare's architect was on TV over the weekend and over the past few days. And he said that the Obamacare premium increases are going to be severe. This is Eiel emmanuel i believe jake totally agree with you there's a million people for whom this is

going to be severe uh or uncomfortable um and i you know for a million people we need to find other

solutions zeke you just cherry pick some states let me cherry pick one of my own. Arizona. Premiums are going to jump

116. They're going to jump 116%. Yes. And the question is, what were they before and what are they

after? And look, I think it's a real problem there. We need to get more people in at 116% increase.
