Fallout from the Mueller report continues.

Michael Avenati faces down handcuffs, but not the kind that he likes.

And Vice President Pence heads to APEC.

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

So, there's a lot of news to get to today.

There's some breaking news about Jussie Smollett that we will try to get to

if time permits lots and lots of stuff happening

right this very instant. But before we get to any of that, let's talk about the fact that our federal government is out of control. It's been out of control for a very long time. And it's been out of control because the federal government has essentially been restructured to run roughshod over the checks and balances that were inherent in the Constitution of the United States. and this is why I am a big believer in calling a convention of states,

where we the people can propose amendments the checks and balances that were inherent in the Constitution of the United States. And this is why

the Constitution to protect the Constitution itself from the predations of the federal government.

That means overreach by the executive branch. It means overreach by the legislative branch. It

means the legislative branch kicking too much power to the executive and the executive kicking to much power to the judiciary. It means Congress threatening to undo the power of the

limited and that suddenly they have to go back to the original founding bargain of a limited government. Well, this is what a convention of states can help make happen. In fact, a convention of states may be the only way to get the job done. There are already 3.8 million people with us on this more every day. So join me and my friend Mark Meckler. Go to Conventionofstates.com to sign the petition today. That is Conventionofstates.com

slash Ben. Let's re-enshrine the Constitution at the center of American life.

Convention ofstates.com slash Ben. Go sign the petition today and join Mark Meckler and me to help

restore constitutional checks and balances. Convention ofstates.com slash Ben.

All right. So yesterday, I was not here for our afternoon show for the additional two hours of the show.

We kicked it over to the excreble Michael Moles, who had himself a field day. I am told, I'll tell you how my day went.

So I had an endoscopy scheduled for a while, and it just turned out that it fell yesterday.
