Breaking news, Al Franken, Senator from Minnesota, is out.

Yes, out. He just resigned on the floor of the Senate.

We'll talk all about it.

Plus, the media do their best to ensure that a wave of terrorism hits Israel.

And, of course, President Trump stands tall in the face of withering attack over his talk about Jerusalem.

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is the Ben Shapiro show.

All righty. So, a lot to get to today. Right now, in breaking news, Al Franken is stepping down from the Senate. When I say now, I mean, like, as we are recording this, we're going to grab the audio as soon as possible of Al Franken, the senator from Minnesota, stepping down. He did what I think everyone sort of expected him to do. He came out and he said that he was totally innocent, but he's stepping down anyway, which is not true. He's not totally innocent. And also, he then said, and what about Trump? And what about Roy Moore? This is the Democrats' play. We'll talk all about that. Plus, I want to give you the latest from the state of Israel, as well as a couple of stories that are just insane that you haven't heard yet today.

Speaking of people who could use a little bit of career insurance, Al Franken is gone. And he just came out and said, as I said, that he is innocent, that he didn't do any of these things, that all of these women are either liars or misconstruing his actions. It seems to me it's hard to misconstrue somebody grabbing your in the middle of a photo line.

But, you know, to each his own.

So Franken stepped down after the Democrats turned on him.

They turned on him in the last 48 hours, really not because of the new reports about Franken,

but because they wish to throw Republicans under the moral bust.

That was the goal here.

The pretext they used for throwing Franken out was this report from the Atlantic that Franken had sexually harassed a woman

at a Media Matters Party. There's a woman named Tina DePoy who wrote for the Atlantic, she says,

it happened in a Media Matters Party during the first Obama inauguration.
