So, Roy Moore just won himself a Senate seat in Alabama. What does that mean for Trumpism? Plus, President Trump is winning the culture war, but are Republicans going to win the political wars? We'll talk about it. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show. So it's going to be a whirlwind day, which is why we are doing the show a little bit early today, because I'm going to be flying to University of Utah, where I have been guaranteed that students for a democratic society will try to shut me down. In fact, they wrote an entire letter, an open letter suggesting that they would do so, and bragging that they would do so, and saying they were right to do so. Apparently, there are also rumors that violence may be in the works. We can hope not. The police will be there. The university is doing its job. So thank you to the university and the police, as always, for protecting free speech from a bunch of thuggish morons. But we'll talk about all of that in just a moment. First, I say to you that you should go out and you should go get a tracker device. The reason I say this is because you lose your keys and your wallet and your phone and you do it all the time. And I know right now you're saying, I don't do that. No, you do. I promise you. And that's why you need a tracker device. It's like a coin size device. You put it on your key chain, you put it in your wallet. And now you can locate either of those devices from your phone and vice versa. Because if you lose your phone and the ringer is off so

you're trying to call your phone to locate it instead of that being the end of the story now you hit

1:16.2

that tracker device and boom it rings on your phone it actually overrides the the non-ringing aspect

of your phone so that means that you can find your phone even when the ringer is off this is why

Okay, so I'll explain a little bit more about what's happening at University of Utah later, but the big story of the evening last night is that Roy Moore, Judge Roy Moore, won his race against Luther Strange in Alabama. Now, this was seen as sort of a proxy battle over the future of Trumpism. What does it mean for Trump? Because now we all live in Donald Trump's world. It is his world. We just live in it. So what does it mean that Trump spent an enormous amount of time and effort campaigning for Luther Strange, who is the incumbent senator in Alabama, and that Luther Strange was defeated pretty soundly by Roy Moore. Well, a couple of things. I think there are a couple of myths that are going around this morning. Myth number one is that Breitbart and Steve Bannon were the people who drove Roy Moore to victory. This is not the case. The reality is that Roy Moore has been an extraordinarily popular figure in Alabama for a very long time. I knew who Roy Moore was years ago because Roy Moore was the judge who refused to abide by the Supreme Court's decision that he had to remove a Ten Commandments memorial from his courtroom. Roy Moore was the guy who had told his court clerks not to issue same-sex marriage licenses because he thought that the Obergefell decision was unconstitutional. So Roy Moore's been a very famous player for a very long time. It's not like the Dave Bratt race, where Breitbart really was instrumental in helping push Dave Bratt over the finish line against Eric Cantor. No one had ever heard of Dave Bratt, and now Dave Bratt sits in Congress, and he's a good guy. Roy Moore was a very famous figure in Alabama for a long time. He was always considered a popular figure in Alabama right-wing politics. Luther Strange was more anonymous than his primary opponent. So that's thing

3:41.2

number one that we have to remember. Thing number two that we have to remember is that Roy Moore

3:45.2

reflects kind of the kind of guts of a lot of the Republican Party better than Luther Strange,

3:51.4

not because his perspectives on, for example, homosexuality are reflective of the entire

Republican Party, but because

attitudinally, attitudinally, he's much more rudum-tutum Yosemite Sam, and that sort of goes to the
