President Trump gets into hot water over a call with a soldier's widow.

Plus, we're going to talk about him at the Heritage Foundation,

and some actual big news that people aren't talking about,

like the biggest news of the year that people aren't talking about.

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

So the theme of today's show is that the culture wars are obviously more important to Americans than actual news because there's some actual huge news today.

In fact, there are three pieces of actual very, very large news today.

And I'm going to talk about all three of those in just a second.

But first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at tracker.com, the tracker.com. So, as I have said before, I lose things all the time, all the time. In fact, while we were in Hawaii for vacation, my wife lost her phone. We could not find it anywhere, anywhere. And that is when she did the thing that she has been taught to do. She grabbed her keychain, and it she had her tracker device and she hit the button

on her tracker device and her phone started ringing. It had been buried under the bed by one of my

children. The tracker.com, that's what it does for you. You're never going to have to lose your

wallet phone keys again. Instead, instead, you have this coin size device that fits right in your

wallet or on your keys and then on your phone when you install a program. And what's cool about this program is that when you actually lose your phone, even if you left the ringer off, right, you're trying to call it, figure out where it is, but the ringer's off. The program that is installed via the tracker means that when you hit the button, the phone rings anyway. So you don't have to worry about that anymore either. It makes your life enormously easier. It's one of those problems you don't really think about until it bites you in the butt like every other day. That's why the tracker.com exists. With tracker pixel, you'll never have to worry about this again. It is the lightest Bluetooth tracking device on the market. And again, you can put it on whatever you tend to lose, and you will never lose it again. Tracker has a 30-day money-back guarantee, which means you really

have nothing to lose. You can even locate your item if it's miles away because every tracker user is part of the largest crowd-locate network in the world. So it's like ways, except for finding your things. Go to thetracker.com slash Ben. That's the tracker.com slash Ben to get 20%

off any order. That to thetracker.com slash Ben. That's the tracker.com slash Ben to get 20%

off any order. That's the tracker.com slash Ben for 20% off any order. One of these things

will make your life a lot easier. The tracker.com slash Ben. And again, you get 20% off your order.

Okay. So everybody wants to talk today about President Trump making this phone call to this widow and why this is a huge news story and whether President Trump has no sympathy for widows of war heroes and all of that. And we'll get to that in just a second. But I'd like to suggest that one of the reasons the media are focusing on that is because there were three very big stories that came out back to back to back yesterday. All of them good for Trump, all of them very bad for the left. The first story is the story with regard to ISIS. So we now know that U.S.-backed forces have now taken Raka. Okay, Raka is ISIS's last urban stronghold. It is, it was the place that was

the headquarters for ISIS in Syria. And U.S. backed forces say they have now taken it, and they've

cleared the entire place, and basically ISIS has been restricted to this small portion of area in

the Euphrates River Valley. One of the things that you should know about ISIS, and we've played

their propaganda videos in the past, is that one of the ways that they have
