| 0:00.0 | President Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, says Robert Mueller is not going to indict President |
| 0:03.9 | Trump, but Robert Mueller is still digging. Michael Cohen finds himself on the wrong end of leaks |
| 0:08.1 | again, and the media lie about President Trump and immigration. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro Show. |
| 0:17.3 | So today is the day, folks. If you've not heard already, I'm taking the Ben Shapiro show live to audiences in Dallas and Phoenix. Presale tickets have been going extremely fast, particularly our VIP packages. I think there are very few left. In fact, there's been such demand from our subscribers. We've asked the venues to open up 50 additional VIP tickets at each event because we're getting a lot of complaints that they were sold out already. Today is the final day for premium subscribers to get your pre-sale tickets. So if you're not a subscriber, you should subscribe so that way he can get access to the tickets because tonight at 10 p.m. local time, everyone gets access to the tickets. Tonight at 10 p.m., everyone gets access to the tickets, whether you're a member, whether you're not a member, you can now buy a ticket at 10 p.m. tonight, wherever you are. Seats will go fast for both VIP and general sales tickets. If you are not already a subscriber again, be sure to sign up now and get that pre-sale code and you can get early access to the best seats in the house. Go to dailywire. Dot com.com slash events to get your pre-sale tickets and additional info. Again, that's dailywire.com slash events to get your presale tickets and additional info. I'm really pumped to be bringing the show live to folks. The tickets are going incredibly fast. I'm getting a lot of notes from people, |
| 1:13.9 | you know, begging, pleading for extra tickets. So we opened up a few extras. So please go check it out. And I promise, it's going to be a fun event. And I want to meet you. It'll be a blast. before I get into the news. |
| 1:23.5 | And there's a lot of news to get into today. |
| 1:25.0 | First, I want to say thanks to our sponsors over at LegalZoom. |
| 1:28.2 | So pretend you're in the government. |
| 1:29.7 | You need legal help for just a second. |
| 1:31.2 | Well, people you would go to are the folks over at Legal Zoom so that you're not spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal work because attorneys are super expensive. You're going to pay $300 an hour for probably an associate. When I was an associate at a top law firm, they were charging $250 a hour for my time. That was like 10 years ago. You could otherwise go to legal Zoom, and then you don't have to pay that. Two million Americans have used legal Zooms to start their business with LLC's incorporation and more. But even after your business is set up, legal Zoom can still help you out. Things like lease agreements, changing tax laws, contract reviews, they are all part of running your own business. But these are precisely the kinds of legal hurdles that do take time and effort away from your growing business, which is why LegalZoom has created their business legal plan. So this is pretty awesome. With it, you get legal advice for your business from vetted independent attorneys and tax professionals available in every state. You also receive access to NDAs, lease agreements, and more. And the best part is you're not going to get charged by the hour because LegalZoom is not a law firm. Instead, you just pay |
| 2:20.7 | one low upfront price. So this is going to save you a ton of money. Legal costs are extraordinarily expensive. Check out LegalZoom's business legal plan at legalzoom.com right now, and you get special savings when you enter promo code Ben at checkout. Again, legalzoom.com, enter promo code Ben at |
| 2:35.7 | checkout. Legal Zoom is where life meets legal. Let them know we sent you by using that promo code Ben and get their special deal. All righty. So the news of the day is that the media are just garbage. I'm sorry. I've been railing against the use of the term fake news for years on this program when it does not apply. |
| 2:51.0 | When President Trump says that it's fake news, for example, that the media are misreporting his crowd size, that's not fake news. But this week, I have to tell you, it's an amazing thing. I'm getting notes from people. I'm getting texts from people. People who did not vote for Trump in the last election who are now telling me, they're turning me into a Trumpkin. The media are turning me into a huge Donald Trump fan. |
| 3:09.6 | Why? |
| 3:10.1 | Because the great arbiters of truth |
| 3:12.1 | and decency, these wonderful arbiters of all that is good in the world, it turns out they are |
| 3:17.3 | abjectly lying about issues ranging from Hamas to now MS-13. So the Democratic New Play |
| 3:23.0 | Book, I guess for 2018 is defend Hamas, defend MS-13, and rip on the NRA. That's the new playbook from the Democrats, and the media are parroting that every step of the way. What am I so hot and bothered about today? Well, we'll get to the Hamas coverage in just a second, but here's what I'm really hot and bothered about today. President Trump yesterday was doing an event with a bunch of sheriffs from all over the country. And one of the sheriffs mentioned MS-13. And President Trump responded, in this way, |
| 3:45.5 | here's clip three. We have people coming into the country, trying to come in. We're stopping a lot of them. |
| 3:51.4 | But we're taking people out of the country. You wouldn't believe how bad these people are. |
| 3:56.0 | These aren't people. These are people. |
| 3:58.3 | These are animals. |
