Did you think that it was even possible to make Gold Star Widows a partisan issue?

Or did you think that it was possible to make sexual harassment and possible sexual assault a partisan issue?

Well, if you thought not, you're wrong.

Welcome to America 2017. Everything sucks.

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

Happy Monday, gang.

Yeah, that's right.

Welcome back from the weekend.

And as we come back from the weekend, it turns out the president of the United States is now in an open running gun battle with a gold star widow, which is this is May the second

time that he's decided to do this particular thing.

We had this last time at the Republican and at the Democratic National

Convention when the Khan family decided to go political. In this case, there's a woman in Maisha Johnson.

Her husband, Le David Johnson, was killed in Niger. Niger. I don't know how to pronounce it.

Everyone's pronouncing it differently. I'll call it Niger because I speak

English. And in any case, the widow went on Good Morning America and ripped into President Trump and President Trump responded. So we'll talk about all of those things. Plus, we'll talk about Bill O'Reilly. A big story came out over the weekend suggesting that he had paid $32 million for a sexual harassment suit to settle it out of court. That is a lot of money to pay someone if the allegations are not credible. In any case, we will talk about all of those things. But first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at My Patriot Supply. So if it feels like the world is about to end, that's because it might be. It might be. Not like apocalyptic fire and flame, but it is possible that there will be a natural disaster that strikes in your area. It's possible there'd be a terrorist attack. It's possible that you just won't be able to get to the grocery store for some reason and people can't get to you. And so instead, what you need is a food supply that ensures that you and your family are safe. That's why you need to go over to my friends at my Patriot Supply. Get their 102 serving survival food kit for just $99, includes breakfast, lunches, and dinners, and is shipped to your home for free. Order that kit, and it keeps your family safe for like 25 years. It lasts up to 25 years in storage. Apparently it tastes like home cooking, so I've been told by the folks here around who are around the office. Call 888-803-1413, 888-803 1413, or go online to prepare with Ben.com again for 99 bucks. Get 102 servings of survival food for just $99. It's one of the things that even the government says you should have food on hand so that you don't have to worry in case there's an emergency,

go make your family safe with one purchase, and then you don't have to think about it until the emergency actually hits. 888803, 14, 13, or preparewithbend.com. Again, prepare withben.com.

Okay. So, I have a lot to talk about today, and a lot of it is based around the idea

that partisanship

has completely eaten our politics to the point where basic facts are no longer worthy

of consideration.

So let's consider a scenario.

Let's start with President Trump and this widow, Maisha Johnson.
