On the one-year anniversary of President Trump's election, the left loses its mind even more than usual.

The Republicans are still struggling to pass tax cuts, and I want to talk about why bad things happen to good people.

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

So what prompted me to think why bad things happen to good people is I'm sick as a dog and I'm a good person.

Why, God, why? But really, I am kind of sick. So bear with me today, even though my voice is lower and more manly than usual. I appreciate you sticking with me.

So before we jump into the leftist going absolutely insane yesterday on the one yearyear anniversary of President Trump winning the presidency.

First don't say thank you to our sponsors over at Wink. So could you use a drink right now? I sure could. That's why Wink is great. Okay, so Wink makes it really easy for you to get the best wines and not just the best wines, the ones that are tailored to your palate. You got to go over to somebody's house for dinner. You don't know what wine to bring. You don't want to bring a bottle of Manashevitz

because you don't want to look like an idiot. And so you need a wine that goes with their meal.

Well, you go on wink.com. You go to try wink.wink.wync.com slash Ben. And you take their survey. You fill out their palette profile quiz and they will tell you what sort of wine goes with your palate, what sort of wine goes with your meal. Discover great wine today at try wink.com

slash Ben and you get 20 bucks off your first shipment. Again, that's T-R-Y-W-I-N-C-com slash Ben for $20 off your first shipment. Try-wink.com slash Ben. The wine is really terrific. That's why everyone around here is terrible at their jobs.

They're drunk all the time from wink wine.

But it is true that the wine itself is really good and less expensive than you'll get at the local liquor store. It's better. And again, they'll tell you what's the best wine for you. Try wink.com slash Ben for $20 off. Plus, they'll know that we sent you. Okay. So I could not help but laugh despite my personal discomfort.

I could not help but laugh despite my personal discomfort. I could not help but laugh yesterday hysterically as a bunch of people on the left went out into the streets of New York and decided to aimlessly scream at the sky. No, I am not kidding. It was the one year anniversary of President Trump winning. If you want to see my reaction to President Trump winning, all you have to do is go to YouTube and Google. Shapiro laughing for two minutes because that's exactly what happened. We covered it on election night and Bill Little, friend of ours, he said President Trump, and it struck me for just a moment how ridiculous and hilarious that is, and also that Hillary had lost. And I just started laughing and I couldn't stop laughing for a fully two minutes. It's pretty great. But that is not how everyone reacted. A bunch of folks on the left were heartbroken. They're still heartbroken, and they've lost their mind. So yesterday, in New York City, people gathered to scream at the sky. Now, these are probably the same people who say thoughts and prayers are useless, right?

Same people who say thought, you shouldn't say thoughts and prayers when something bad happens.

Now they are gathering to scream at a sky where there is no God, presumably.

And I could not help it, but laugh hysterically at this. Yeah. That lady's trying out for the Met Opera.

But I do love it.

You're going to get together and scream at the sky.

Yeah, that's going to win.

That's going to make you guys win.

Now, it is true that the anger of the left is going to drive them to the polls more often. I mean, that's sort of what you saw in Virginia. But if they think that this is an attractive feature, that they're going to win elections because they scream at the sky, then I think not. But for the left, they believe that their anger is its own justification. So there are a couple of columns that I want to talk about today that demonstrate just how far gone the left is when it comes to policy and politics. Now, it is possible that the Republicans can be bad enough at this to blow whatever advantages they have. It seems like that's what they're in the business of doing. We'll talk about what they're doing with their tax plan in just a second. And we'll also talk about President Trump in just a second and the divides inside the conservative movement. But on the left, they've completely lost their minds. And so they feel that the only path back to power is twofold. One, they have to be as angry as possible. And two, they have to reembrace identity politics. Okay, these are precisely the things that brought them Trump. It is their anger and their identity politics that caused the backlash that brought President Trump. So maybe there's a backlash to the backlash that's quite

possible, right? That there was a backlash to the left identity, politics, and rage. And that
