One of the more irritating leftist tropes to emerge in the last year has been the rise of fearless girl.

A hedge fund sponsored bronze statue of a small girl standing defiantly in front of the Wall Street bull,

which would presumably trample her to death if both figures were real.

Now, a Democratic politician after Democratic politician has come forward to pay homage to this bronze calf.

First, it was New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who criticized Wall Street,

the same Wall Street that erected the annoyingly stupid icon. Now it's Senator Elizabeth Warren,

who took a break from writing shrimp recipes for Native American cookbooks to demonstrate that

she, too, cares about metal effigies erected by disproportionately male investment firms.

And, you know, the picture is pretty amazing. She did persist in irritating

the rest of us. Warren, of course, has been one of the lead Democratic voices in favor of so-called

pay equality between men and women, ignoring all statistical evidence that the pay gap does not

actually exist when all relevant factors are taken into account. Worth noting, Warren's female

staffers earn 71% less than her male staffers did last year. Worth noting, Warren's female staffers earned 71% less than her male

staffers did last year. Only one of Warren's top staffers earns more than $100,000 and was female.

But this is all virtue signaling, of course. The notion is that if you don't stand in solidarity with

a little girl against a giant bull, you must hate women and children. Somebody ought to inform war in another leftist that the little girl was once an unborn little girl,

and war would then presumably stand with the bull.

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

All righty, tons to get to you today. Lots of foreign policy news.

I feel like every time I take off a couple of days, the world just reaches a new level of chaos, and so it is and so it shall be. Plus, in just a few minutes we're going to be having on Lauren Southern, who of course, well-known right-wing commentator from Canada, and she was at the Berkeley riots. Again, Berkeley does not seem like a nice place. All these friendly hippies are not that friendly, and so we'll talk about that. It's starting to look like the Weimar Republic out there. But first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Helix Sleep. So, I am not somebody who sleeps well. I require a very comfortable mattress and wonderful sheets. Helix Sleep provides the very, very comfortable mattress. It's helixleep.com slash ben. The way this works, you go to helixleep.com slash ben. You get $50 off your order. But they also will ask you your height, your weight, your body type. Do you like to sleep on your stomach or your side? And they use an algorithm, proprietary algorithm, to determine what kind of mattress will work best for you. And then they send it to your house, the shipping is free, they send it to your house, and if you don't like it, you have 100 nights to try it out, and then you can send it right back. Helix customers report 30% improvement in overall sleep quality. My wife and I had a much more expensive mattress, actually, and we moved it out of the room in favor of the Helix mattress because the Helix mattress is so comfortable.

It's helixleck.com slash Ben. You get $50 off your order. Again, it comes in a big box. You just unroll the box, and it inflates automatically because it's a foam mattress. It's really comfortable. unlike a lot of other phone mattresses, you can get ones that really breathe well, so it doesn't feel like you're in a kiln.

And yeah, I really like the mattress a lot, so does my wife. I can't recommend it highly enough. Plus, it's no risk to you, because if you hate it, then you can always send it back for free. So that's great. It's helixleaksleep.com slash Ben. Helixleck sleep.com slash spend $50 off your order. I promise you won't hate it. You'll actually like it a lot. It's fantastic product. Okay. So, lots going on in the world. Among the things that are going on in the world, the Trump administration continues to kind of futs around on foreign policy. And we'll talk about that. But first I want to talk about the fallout that happened from this election in the Georgia 6th District last night. So
