Memo Fight, 2018, the Republicans take on the FBI in the Royal Rumble.

Plus, Mika Brasinski throws Michael Wolf off the set of Morning Joe,

and Republicans should read books, and I will show you an example why.

I'm Ben Shapiro, this is the Ben Shapiro Show.

We'll bring you the latest on MemoGate, 2018, Memo Fight.

It's the most exciting rumble in the history of American politics.

Everybody's going to just show up from the side of the stage and just club each other with reams of paper.

It'll be so exciting.

Devin Nunez versus Adam Schiff, face off.

Nancy Pelosi versus Paul Ryan Ryan pounding to the mat. It's going to be incredible. We'll discuss all of those things first. I'm going to put you to sleep with a bull and brand chat because the fact is if you need to relax, folks, then you need to sleep well. I am not somebody who tends to sleep well, particularly when I'm on the road. But when I'm at home, I do sleep well, and that's because of bull and brand sheets. They are the best sheets in the business. Bull and brand sheets will cost like a thousand bucks in the store, this kind of quality of sheet. Bull and brand sheets, though, are only a couple of hundred dollars. We tried them. We love them so much that we replaced pretty much all the sheets in our house with bowl and branch sheets, because they are top quality. They're made from pure 100% organic cotton. They start out soft and they get even softer over time. Right now, my listeners get $50 off their first set of sheets at bull and branch.com promo code, Ben, use that promo code, Ben. B-O-L-L-Nbranch.com promo code code ban. Again, the sheets are just terrific. There's a reason

three U.S. presidents have slept on Bull and Branch sheets, and shipping is free. You can even try them for 30 nights if you don't like them, send them back for a refund, but no one wants to send them back for a refund because they are that good. You don't think about sheet quality until you've actually slept in really good sheets, and then once you do, you never want to go back. So bowl and branch.com promo code, Ben, you get 50 bucks off your first set of sheets.

Bull and branch.com use that promo code, Ben. Okay, so again, memo gate. I'm just excited to say memo fight and memo gate. And it's all, it's all so exciting. In truth, none of it is all that exciting. I'm going to try and break down what's happening here, because if seems like all is chaos and confusion, if it feels like the auroporos of confusion and chaos has taken over your life, I've been hanging out with Jordan Peterson too much, then you need to, we're going to try and break down and separate out all of the various strands of what's going on in the FBI scandal and who's to blame and who is lying. Okay, so first, let's begin with this. The FBI is basically asking you to trust them. And the Republicans are asking you to trust them. And the Democrats are asking you to trust the FBI. And President Trump is asking you to trust the Republicans. And you don't know who to trust. Because the truth is we don't have all the information. What we do know is a couple of things. There are a few different strains here. Strain number one, the FBI, in all likelihood, acted corruptly in allowing Hillary Clinton to get away with storing classified information on a private unsecured email server. Okay, that was FBI malfeasance, and it was probably planned by the Obama administration in coordination with

the DOJ and the FBI.

There's pretty solid evidence to that effect.

I talked about it a few days ago on the show.

If you go back about a week and listen to my show in which I discuss Andrew McCarthy's piece

over at National Review laying out the case that there was essentially coordination between

the Obama team in the White House and the FBI to let Hillary Clinton off the hook specifically because Hillary was illegally storing classified information on her server and using a private email address.

And Obama was emailing her at that email address, meaning he knew that she was using a private email address for classified material, which was not, in fact, legal.

That piece by McCarthy is pretty damning and pretty telling about what the FBI was doing.

And now we know, according to the Wall Street Journal, this is breaking news yesterday,

top FBI officials were aware for at least a month before alerting Congress that emails potentially
