through the Thanksgiving mailbag. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show.

So because it is a shortened week, we will have the opportunity to do the mailbag for you, so that's why you need to be a subscriber right now, because that means you get to be part of the live mailbag today. But before we get to any of the myriad news items that are on the table on this, the day before Thanksgiving, and we have a lot to be thankful for. I mean, Hillary Clinton isn't the president, Judge Gorsuch, Donald Trump continues to tweet, like lots of things

0:38.0

for us here at the Ben Shapiro show to be thankful for. But before we get to any of those things,

0:42.0

first I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Dollar Shave Club. So you've heard me talk

0:46.1

before about how the Dollar Shave Club razors, which I use under my chinny chin chin for

0:51.7

2:07.3

get to today i feel like starting on an up note because come on vacation is about to start in los angeles

2:12.3

we're never going to escape it's basically the zombie apocalypse out there you get on the freeways

2:15.7

and it looks like the it looks like the road out of Atlanta in the poster from the Walking Dead. It's just a bunch of people who have their desiccated corpses kind of hung over their steering wheels because no one can get out of the city. But everyone is happy because it's Thanksgiving Day. And in that mode, I think that it is time for us to bring back our newest. And for the moment, our favorite segment of the Ben Shapiro show. Of course, I refer to none other than eloquent Trump. Ah, yes. Eloquent Trump. Yeah, we used to have good Trump and bad Trump. Now we just have eloquent Trump because some things are beyond good and evil, as Nietzsche would say. And therefore, in the mode of Nietzsche, we look at the rhetoric.

3:07.4

Is it Apollonia's a Dionysian? President Trump familiar with all of these terms, of course. So today, he tweeted out at Levar Ball. And LeVar Ball, as you know, is a dummy. So Levar Ball, as we have said, is the father of Leangelo Ball, who's a UCLA basketball player, who's arrested in China for shoplifting.

3:30.0

And LeVar Ball has said he will not say thank you to President Trump because he's adult. President Trump feels that it is absolutely of necessity that he tweet back at LeVar Ball so he can have this clash of the intellectual titans. So here is what he tweeted today. He's just not gonna let this thing go. I gotta tell you, you know, when I was a kid and I had my bar mitzvah, got lots of money, got lots of presents, and one of the things that my mother said is that you have to write thank you notes to every person who gave you a present.

3:36.0

There was nothing I hated in life more than writing those thank you notes.

3:39.0

I despised it. It was terrible because she insisted that I handwrite every one of them. I couldn't just send like a group email. I then had to personalize it and say, thank you so much for this useless gift that I will never use, sign Ben, you know, and can't wait to see you. It took me months to write those thank you notes. So I have a particular place in my heart that despises people

3:57.6

who sit around at their mailbox and wait for the thank you note. And there were those people, okay? There were people who legitimately would call up my grandmother. And they'd be like, you know, I gave the gift and I never received a thank you note. It's like, the hell's wrong with you? Like, who cares whether you received a thank you note or not? I thought that the joy of giving was actually the giving, not the receipt of the useless thank you note that will end up in your garbage after I spend money on the postage. President Trump, I have to say, he's got the feel of a guy who gives a gift and then sits around for three months waiting for the thank you note and then calls my grandmother, because here is what he just tweeted. Quote, it's so eloquent. It wasn't the White House.

4:31.6

It wasn't the State Department.

4:32.7

It wasn't Father Lovar's so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of long-term prison sentence.
