We are here and it is two days before Christmas. I could not be more excited. At the end of tomorrow's episode, I will carol you a little bit. We do do this in the Shapiro family, so we'll do a little bit of that on tomorrow's episode. But today we have to talk about the Washington Post going after Ted Cruz's daughter. We'll also be talking about Chris Matthews going off of his rocker, plus something crazy that happened on CNN to a friend of

mine. Kurt Schlichter, we'll get to all of it. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro show.

Tends to demonize people because don't care about your feelings.

Well, after yesterday, this is the show that you have been shlonging for, as Donald Trump might say.

The big story of the evening, and very often lately the news breaks in the evening, the big story of the evening last night, was there's this cartoonist who's won a Pulitzer Prize.

Her name is Anne Telmace, I believe is how it's pronounced.

And Anne Telnace is a real piece of work.

She's a nasty piece of goods, this Antelnese character.

She has, in the past, drawn pictures of Senator Ted Cruz wearing a, what are the Mexican

hats called?

A sombrero, thank you.

Boy, I'm out of it today.

She's wearing a sombrero with tea bags hanging

off of it, and she's drawn pictures of Senator Cruz as a snake, like a full-on snake. And so she hates

Senator Cruz, and she despises Senator Cruz, and she found an excuse to go after Senator Cruz

in Cruz's, he couldn't add, Cruz didn't add add that aired during Saturday Night Live for his presidential campaign.

It was actually pretty funny and pretty cute.

Here is the ad.

It's clip number 10 here.

And we will play it in its entirety.

And then we will show you what the Washington Post thought was appropriate to do about this ad.

Imagine the greatest Christmas stories told by the senator who once read green eggs and ham from the Senate floor.
