Plus, we meet the most entitled 30-year-old in America and bring you the latest on SpyGate 2018.

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

A lot to get to today, and we will be talking about all of it. First, I want to say thanks to our sponsors over at Movement. So, do you see this watch? This one right here, this magnificent piece of hardware? Okay, this right here is a Movement Watch, and I wear it every single day. In fact, I have two Movement Watches. My wife has a Movement Watch. My mom has a Movement Watch. My father has a Movement Watch. Everybody at the Office has a Movement Watch, not just because they are sponsors, but because they make great watches at affordable prices. Movement has come pretty far from being a bunch of

crowdfunded kids working out of living room. In the past year, they've not only introduced a ton of

new watch collections for both men and women, but also expanded to sunglasses and fashion

forward bracelets for women. These watches are, they are simple and clean looking. They really look like much more expensive watches. They begin at just $95 at a department store. These things cost $400,500. Movement figured out that by cutting out the middleman, they can save you a lot of money. Classic design, quality construction, style minimalism. I can tell you these things are super durable because my son loves them, and that means that he throws them around, and they look just as good as new every time he does it get 15% off today with free shipping and free returns

NFL has decided that they will no longer allow players to come out on the field and kneel for

the national anthem, which is, I think, a good move by the NFL, although I think it's done in the worst possible way,

and they should have done it originally.

The NBA had this problem years ago when there's a player named Muhammad Abdul Raouf,

who Mahmoud Abdul-Rouf, he was a guard, I believe, for the Denver Nuggets,

and he didn't want to stand up for the National Anthem.

He was fine, and pretty quickly he ended up standing for the National Anthem. Steve Nash refused to put his hand over his heart for the National Anthem. I believe he was fined as well. The NBA has always had this rule. The NFL never should have allowed the politicization of its games. It is a product. When your product is politicized, then you take action to prevent that politicization. but the NFL wanted to reach out to new audiences, and so not only did they support the politicization,

they actually forwarded the politicization. Even before the national anthem protests,

if you recall all the way back to 2013, 2014, during the Ferguson issues in 2014,

there were a bunch of players who ran out onto the field doing the hands up, don't shoot motion, no fine, that there were people who wanted to wear gear that
