The French prime minister attacks President Trump abroad, Democrats prepare to take power, and

Republicans struggle for a message. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

All righty. Well, we have a lot to get to today. First of all, happy Veterans Day to everybody.

Thank you to all of our veterans all over America and abroad. We have a lot of folks in the

military who listen to the show. We always appreciate everything that they do, obviously. We

couldn't do what we do on a daily basis. Everything dumb that we do here on the show is only backed

by the enormous force and might of the American military and the amazing commitment that the men

and women of the American military have every single day to keep us safe and to enshrine constitutional principles, not only in the United States, but for our allies abroad.

We're really excited to be broadcasting today from WLS, which is the home of the Ben Shapiro show and will be in the new year as well. And it's great to be in Chicago. Both my

parents are from Chicago, as I was saying to the audience beforehand. I am originally, I'm a

White Sox fan. I've been a Chicago sports fan my entire life, which made me an expatriate in Los Angeles, but everybody in L.A. is an ex-patriot. In any case, it's great to be here.

Now, people were saying, well, this is obviously because he's afraid that the rain is going to mess up his hair. That is not true. The reason that he did not go is because they couldn't get Marine 1 in the rain over to the site.

The next day, he went out. that the rain is going to mess up his hair. That is not true. The reason that he did not go is because they couldn't get Marine 1 in the rain over to the site.

The next day, he went over to a different military cemetery.

He made a speech there.

And when he did, he actually went out there without an umbrella, I think specifically to prove

the idea that he was not super afraid that his hair was going to fall off as the rain hit it.

But the real controversy

emerged when French President Emmanuel Macron led tributes to the soldiers killed in World War

1, using a ceremony in Paris attended by scores of world leaders to pretty much go after President

Trump. And the narrative about European politics goes something like this. Europe is the great bulwark now
