I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show.

Oh, it's a tweetstorm day for President Trump. Category 5 tweet storm from the president. So we'll get into that in just a second.

0:20.4

First, I want to say

0:20.9

thanks to our sponsors over at Indochino. So you want to look like James Bond, but you don't want to pay James Bond at prices over at Savoy Row or Seville Row or whatever it's called. Instead, go to Indochino. Indochino is the world's largest made-to-measure menswear company. They've been featured in major publications, including GQ, Forbes, and Fast Company.

If you want to look great in a suit, you need something that looks tailored.

0:40.2

And you can't do that if you just go to a local department store and get something off the rack. Instead, go over to Indochino. They make suits and shirts made to your exact measurements for its horrific fit. Guys love the selection of high quality fabrics, the option to personalize all the details, including your lapel, lining, and monogram. So here's how it works. You visit a showroom, there's shop online at indocino.com. You pick your fabric, you choose your customizations, you submit your measurements, and you wait for your custom suit to arrive in just a few weeks. You can either go to their showroom physically, as I did in Beverly Hills, or you can order it online, and when it comes, it should fit you like a glove. If not, they will help you out. My listeners can get any premium Indochino suit for just $379 at Indocino.com when entering Shapiro at checkout. That's 50% off the regular price from a made-to-measure premium suit. Shipping is free. Indochino.com promo code Shapiro for any premium suit, just $379 bucks and free shipping. It's an incredible deal for a suit.

They'll fit you better than anything you got in your closet right now. Indochino.com promo code Shapiro to let them know that we sent you. By the way, before we begin, I also want to say our tickets are running out very quickly over at our events, Dallas and Phoenix. I believe we are almost sold out in Dallas. We are approaching sold out in Phoenix. So go over to dailywire.com slash events.

that we will be doing in August, it should be a blast and I look forward to seeing you there. Okay, so, President Trump is gaining in the polls. The polls right now look good for President Trump. There's a poll yesterday that came out. It showed that Republicans had a generic ballot, six-point lead in the congressional election. Now, that is an outlier. There's no question that's an outlier. The poll average still has Republicans down about four points. That said, there has been a slow but incremental increase in Republican vote share in the congressional ballot for the last several months. And the question is why? Meanwhile, the Rasmussen tracking poll has President

2:18.3

Trump up around 50%. Even if you don't believe Rasmussen, he's in the mid-40s, his polls have also been trending in the right direction. And the question, again, is why. And I think that the answer lies in the fact that so many on the left have decided to just treat people with whom they disagree in deplorable fashion. The latest example of this is Tommy Laren.

2:36.2

So Tommy Laren goes out to brunch with her mom.

2:38.6

And a bunch of people decide to scream at Tommy Lerrin and then throw drinks on her.

2:43.0

So here's what it sounded like.

2:57.9

So there's a person who's tossing a drink at Tommy Laren for no reason.

3:03.1

Because you're so cool because you tossed a drink at Tommy Laren for the great sin of going to brunch with her mother.

3:06.0

Now, you don't have to be a Tommy Laren fan to understand that this is awful behavior.

3:07.5

It's just garbage behavior.

3:12.2

But that's no shock because folks on the left have been engaging in garbage behavior throughout the campaign cycle.

3:18.0

You know, we tend to forget a lot of the things that happened in 2016 because there was so much that went on in 2016.

3:23.0

But there were Trump rallies where people legitimately showed up and did violence to Trump supporters.

3:26.1

It wasn't Trump supporters doing violence to Hillary Clinton supporters.
