The Mueller investigation into Trump-Russia collusion is taking serious fire.

The Democrats are on the ropes after their failed government shutdown and the NFL makes a giant boo-boo leading up to the Super Bowl.

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

We have tons to get to today and tomorrow I will be speaking at University of Connecticut, where, of course,

naturally, the administration has decided that I'm a threat to public safety, and they've decided that the general public will not be allowed to attend. It will be students only at University of Connecticut. This is the second school in a row they've done this, or Berkeley they did this, and now they're doing it at University of Connecticut as well, even though we likely would have had thousands of people who wanted to show up.

It's getting very irritating for me.

We'll discuss that a little bit later. The Yukon, by the way, is actually acknowledging that I am not the one who promotes the violence. They are saying that they don't see me offending the audience. They don't see me coming there to tick off the audience. So at least they're acknowledging that, but it doesn't really change any of that. We'll get to all of that. We'll also get to these bombshell text messages inside the FBI regarding the Mueller investigation, what comes next on the government shutdown in DACA. But first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at My Patriot Supply. So just a couple of weeks ago, you remember, there was a false alarm in Hawaii when everyone in the state of Hawaii thought that they were going to be nuked into the ground by North Korea. And if that got you thinking, hey, what would happen if, God forbid, there were actually disaster of that magnitude? First of all, it's important to note, just because, I'm not going to get graphic here, but just because a nuclear weapon would fall on your city does not necessarily mean that you will die. The fact is that nuclear weapons actually do not look like Terminator 2. They don't wipe out entire cities. Instead,

nuclear weapons affect a certain area. If you're living outside that area, however, you

are going to still be living without food, without water, unless you go to my Patriot Supply.

And this is not just true, obviously, in the unlikely offend of a nuclear catastrophe.

It's also true for natural disasters, which have been happening relatively frequently. And you see on the news, all these people who don't have food and they don't have water, that's why you need to go to my Patriot Supply. They are the experts in self-reliance.

bombshell text messages that are now coming out from the FBI. So the FBI has turned over a bunch of

text messages to the Senate Judiciary Committee

and the House Judiciary Committee. And these text messages are not looking good for the FBI.

So first off, Bob Goodlat, who is a Republican from Virginia, and Devin Nunes, Republican from California,

as well as Trey Gowdy, Republican of South Carolina, issued a statement on text messages they received

regarding top FBI officials. They requested all of the backlogged text messages. And here's what they say.

Quote, this weekend, we meant to discuss the text messages and possible next steps in our oversight of these

agencies. The context of these text messages between top FBI officials are extremely troubling
