| 0:00.0 | It's a Monday, which means even more sexual harassment scandals. Plus, President Trump enters upon a Category 5 tweet storm, and we'll talk a little federalist papers, too. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show. It's Thanksgiving week. Yay, we made it. We're almost there, guys. We're almost to the end of the year. Thanksgiving is coming up, of course, on Thursday. And I know we're doing a video here about things that I'm thankful for. Yes, I, your humble host, I'm actually thankful for some things, unbelievably enough. We'll tell you about that a little bit later this week. But first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at texture. So, particularly in this day and age, magazines are actually vital reading. If you were looking at the New Yorker, this last couple of weeks, it was the New Yorker that exposed the Harvey Weinstein scandal's Ronan Farrow's terrific work over there that did that. Vanity Fair has been doing some very good reporting. There's some very good reporting in the recent past from the Atlantic. All these magazines are very expensive if you get them on your own. |

Again, magazines are doing a lot of the best investigative journalism in the business.

| 2:01.7 | So really great stuff. |
| 2:03.0 | Okay, so we'll begin today. percent off their listed price $9.99 a month for 200 magazines, which is pretty amazing, |
| 2:07.2 | plus their back issues. So really great stuff. Okay, so we'll begin today with some breaking news, this from the New York Times. So the New York Times has now suspended famed reporter |
| 2:11.8 | Glenn Thrush over allegations of sexual harassment. So what makes this sort of interesting |
| 2:16.4 | is that Thrush is one of these guys who's been virtue signaling about sexual harassment. So what makes this sort of interesting is that Thrush is one of |
| 2:18.0 | these guys who's been virtue signaling about sexual harassment for quite a while. And he posted a |
| 2:22.8 | Facebook note just a couple of weeks ago, blasting political journalist Mark Halperin over allegations |
| 2:27.4 | of sexual misconduct against young female journalists. He stated, quote, young people who come |
| 2:31.5 | into a newsroom deserve to be taught our trade, given our support, and enlisted in our calling, not betrayed by little men who believe they |
| 2:37.5 | are bigger than the mission. Only one problem. It turns out that the married thrush |
| 2:41.7 | apparently has a bad habit of getting slashed with younger female journalists and then coming |
| 2:46.5 | onto them. In one instance, a 20-something young reporter was so upset by such an alleged incident that she told her friend who texted with Thrush. Vox reports, quote, three young women I interviewed, including the young woman who met Thrush in June, described to me a range of similar experiences, from unwanted groping and kissing to wet kisses out of nowhere, to hazy sexual encounters that played out under the influence of alcohol. Each woman described feeling differently about these experiences, scared, violated, ashamed, weirded out, I was and am angry. Details of their story suggest a pattern. All of the women were in their 20s at the time. They're relatively early in their careers compared to Thrush, who's the kind of seasoned journalist who would be good to know. At an event with alcohol, he made advances. Afterward, they, as I did, the columnist here is actually one of the people Thrusch came on to, |
| 3:26.3 | thought it best to stand good terms with Thrush, whatever their feelings. |
| 3:28.8 | So there's a lot of this going around in Hollywood, in journalism, in politics, |
| 3:32.5 | where something bad happens and women don't say anything because they're afraid it's going to ruin their career. |
