A horrific, horrific weekend. We'll tell you everything you need to know about what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia and violence breaking out all over the country.

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

Okay, so we have just an enormous amount to get to today. I want to explain to you the roots of what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia.

I want to explain to you the violence of Antifa. I want to explain to you the roots of what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. I want to explain to you the violence of Antif. I want to explain to you the violence of the

alt-right and what the alt-right is and why people on the right are misperceiving what the alt-right is. We're going to go through all of that. So it's going to be a very difficult show. I mean, I don't want to pitch this badly, but the fact is that we're going to go through a lot of very difficult and nasty material today because unfortunately what we saw in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend is the apotheosis of the nastiness that's been building in our country for the last several years and it came to a head on Saturday in Charlottesville. So we'll talk about all of that. But before we get to that, I first want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Rings. So Ring's mission is to make neighborhood safer today. Over a million people are using the amazing Ring video doorbell device to protect their homes. The way that it begins is that if somebody tries to knock on your door and then knows that you're not home, they might break into your house. Ring gives you this doorbell where they hit the doorbell and you can pick up the doorbell from anywhere you are. It can be across the country and you know that your front door is ringing. There's a camera on it so you can tell who's at your front door whether to let them in or not. It cuts down on home burglaries by a tremendous percentage. And right now, they have security programs for the rest of your home. The ring floodlight cam is one. Just like rings amazing doorbell, floodlight cam is a motion activated camera and floodlight that connects right to your phone with HD video and two-way audio that lets you know

alarm right from your phone when something goes bump in the night you're going to know about it

You're going to know everything you need to know about the Trump administration and their relationship with the alt-right. You're going to know what the alt-right is by the end of today's show. So today's a very information-driven show. And also, I have to say that there are just so many garbage people who refuse to

acknowledge evil on any side. You have the left refusing to acknowledge the evil of Antifa. You have
