I just have to pay tribute to the fact that the Daily Wire is a company celebrated our third anniversary yesterday. So that's pretty exciting stuff. No one in the audience actually cares, but I care. So that means you care now. Well, now that you know that little fact, I'm going to teach you something else. Okay, if you need stamps, there's no reason you ought to go to the post office. It doesn't matter how much you love the post office. It means you're going to spend gas money and you have to go to the post office and wait in line. Listen, post office is great. But what is better is being at your desk, printing out the stamps that you need onto your envelope or onto a sticker, sticking into the envelope. You're ready to go. It's just great. That's what stamps.com does for you. With stamps.com, you can access all the amazing services of the post office directly from your desk 24-7 when it's convenient for you. You can buy and print official U.S. postage for any letter, any package, using your own computer and printer. The mail carrier just picks it up. You click print mail. You're done. We here use Stamps.com at the office at the Daily Wire offices, our three-year-old offices, we use it at my house.

promo code Shapiro to let them know that we sent you terrific service. All righty. So President Trump did another one of his patented rallies last night, and it got pretty rowdy because President Trump's rallies are always rowdy. Now, what's weird to me is that the media are so deeply concerned over this. If they were so deeply concerned over President Trump's rallies, maybe they should have stopped covering them soup to nuts when he was doing them in the middle of the election cycle. But Trump loves these things. He's a guy who plays to the crowd. If you've ever seen President Trump speak in person, this is somebody who really is a performer. I used to perform regularly, not just in terms of doing my speaking in front of an audience, but I used to actually perform. I was a classical violinist. He used to perform in front of audiences, and you know when the audience is into it, when the audience isn't into it. President

2:21.0

Trump is really good at this. He is a performer, and so he knows when the audience is into it and when they're not. And so he does these rallies. They are very rowdy and they're very excited. And the media went nuts yesterday. They were very, very upset about this. And I'm at a loss to explain quite why.

2:34.6

Brian Schatz, who is a senator from Nevada, he tweeted out, we have no equivalent to the dark carnival that is a Trump rally. This is not a thing on the left. We just argue about health care and climate and sometimes relitigate 2016, but we are not actually out of our minds. It's a dark carnival over at the Trump rally. I'd just like to point out to Brian

2:50.9

Schatz that history did not start yesterday. There's this weird syndrome on the left that suddenly all history began with Donald Trump. So yesterday we talked about LeBron James saying that Trump has politicized sports, ignoring the fact that sports has been politicized for years and years and years and years and years. And that the politicization of our culture and our sports, that's one of the reasons why Trump has been so successful, because Trump is a counterpunch to all of that politicization. Well, the same thing is true when it comes to the quote-unquote dark carnival of Trump rallies. I'm old enough to remember in 2011 after Paul Wellstone, who is a senator from Minnesota, after he died in a plane crash, I'm old enough to remember when Democrats led an actual rally at Paul Wellstone's funeral. I mean, this is a thing that actually happened.

3:29.5

I am begging you, please, let the people of this state hear your voice on his behalf to keep his

3:37.2

legacy alive and help us win this election for Paul Wellstone.

3:44.0

For Paul Wellstone, will you stand up and keep fighting for social and economic justice?

3:52.5

Say yes.

3:54.3

Yes.

Okay, that was October 2002.
