We take a look at all of the breaking news on the Kavanaugh allegations, and there is a lot of it.

The media humiliate themselves, as per our usual routine, every single day here.

And we take a look at the funniest story of the year.

It is astonishingly good.

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

I stepped away for the final Jewish holidays, guys.

That was the last ones of the year. Okay, so now we're safe. We're good now. Okay, the last couple days, first of all, I will say, this was the best part of the Jewish holidays. It was Simchat Torah. I know you want to get to the news, but I'm just going to ramble on for a while about Judaism. But in any case, it was partying with the Torah. It was really great. My kids really enjoyed it.

And now I am refreshed.

And I come back and the news cycle is just rich and replete with joy. And I will bring you all of that. First, I want to mention.

because let's face it, that's all we really deserve. And now, but first, let's talk about your tooth health. So, the reality is that you are lying to your dentist on a routine basis, right? You go in there, your dentist says, how often you brush you're like eight times a day? Every time I breathe, I brush my teeth. Like, well, how often do you floss? Like, I haven't stopped flossing. You see this in my mouth right here?

A piece of floss.

Well, you're lying to your dentist, and we all know you're lying to your dentist. And that's why you ought to be using Quip instead. Quip is the best electric toothbrush on the market.

couple of days and then jump right back into the news cycle. I jumped back into the news cycle

yesterday last night to find that we are apparently just a couple of days away from the actual vote on Brett Kavanaugh. That's what Mitch McConnell said this morning. The Senate Majority Leader says we will be voting on Kavanaugh in the full Senate by the end of the week. The FBI report is expected to wrap today or tomorrow at the very latest. And the FBI is basically saying we've got nothing, right? We've come up with no. Shocker. They've come up with nothing new. Now, that doesn't mean the Democrats are going to accept the FBI report. Of course not. An allegation about a Republican is tantamount to the allegation being true, according to folks on the left, which we'll get to in just a second. According to the Wall Street Journal, though, people familiar with the process said on Tuesday that the FBI investigation into the allegations of sexual misconduct against Judge Kavana could wrap up very soon well ahead of the end of week deadline, which we hope for and pray for us that we don't have to spend this weekend covering breaking news again.

GOP AIDS on the Hill and another person familiar with the process said they were expecting the Bureau to conclude its report as late as late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Agents had interviewed at least four people as of Tuesday in the background investigation of Judge Kavanaugh. The White House had given the Bureau until Friday to wrap up the probe. Senators will be shown the FBI's findings. It's not clear what exactly will be made public at any point. Suffice it to say, it's not expected that anything groundbreaking will happen here. And there's a reason that Mitch McConnell is going off on the Democrats overall of this. The Senate Majority Leader, he comes forward. He says, listen, all of this was a stall tactic, all of this was a delay tactic. Democrats who had no intention of voting for Brett Kavanaugh in the first place are suddenly acting all outraged that the FBI investigation is wrapping too soon. When they knew it would wrap that soon,
