Howdy, howdy, here we are on a Tuesday and lots to talk about.

Apparently, the Russians are now in basically a war with Turkey. We'll talk about that. We'll also be talking about Bernie Sanders getting a big, huge, enormous endorsement. Plus, of course, Donald Trump, on the ropes again, thanks to the media. Or is he? I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro show. Tend to demonize people who don't care about your feelings.

All right, folks, let's start with Donald Trump today. Donald Trump made a comment that has gotten

him in all sorts of hot water with the media. And Trump does this routine. I like to call it

the Trump brand rake. He sets up a rake on the ground for people, and then the media just steps on the rake.

And when they step on the rake, you know, the handle, the rake comes up and smacks them between the eyes. That's basically what Trump does. The way that Trump does this is he says something that is factually untrue, but the underlying narrative of which is true. And the media, because they don't like Trump's narrative, they immediately say that not only is Trump's fact not true, his narrative is untrue.

And that's when they step on the rake, because the truth is that when Trump, his story,

his generalized story, his general view of the world in many of these cases is true,

trying to go for the football. They just keep on attempting to smack Trump over his narrative,

when the narrative is the only part of what Trump says that's true. Everything else that Trump says

is not true, but the narrative part of what Trump says actually is true. So, to take a brief example,

the controversy of the day for Donald Trump is that Donald Trump said at one of his rallies

that he watched thousands of Muslims, American Muslims celebrate 9-11. Here is the audio of Donald

Trump doing it from a rally over the weekend. I watched when the World Trade Center came

tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey,

where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down.

And the entire media said this isn't true.

There weren't thousands and thousands and thousands of people cheering as the buildings came down. Well, first of all, first of all, that it isn't true. There weren't thousands and thousands and thousands of people cheering as the buildings came down.

Well, first of all, first of all, that it isn't true, that there's no evidence that thousands

of American Muslims were cheering in the streets. There is evidence that thousands of Palestinians

were cheering in the streets as the towers came down. In fact, we have tape of that. And it's
