Two state elections last night gives him 20-20 clues. President Trump goes after Joe Biden and the media take off the mask. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

Oh man, we have a ton to get to on today's show. But first, let me remind you that tonight, the latest stop on my Young America's Foundation speaking tour brings me to Loyola,

Marymount University, where some of the professors are pretty ticked that I'm coming. This speech begins at 7 p.m., so get there early, bring a friend, and as always bring some great questions. It may be sold out. If you can't make it tonight, no problem. You can also watch the speech online at yaf.org slash live. It is all new material. For more information on my tour schedule, head on over to yaf.org slash Shapiro Tour.

That's yaf.org

slash Shapiro Tour. That's yaf.org slash Shapiro Tour. Hope to see you there. Okay, we're going to get to the news in just one second. First, let's talk about safety and security in your community. You've heard me talk about how Ring is reinventing home security with doorbells and cameras, even an alarm you can install yourself. Well, they've now reinvented the Neighborhood Watch with a new app they created called Neighbors by Ring. You remember the Neighborhood Watch, it's been around for a while. I remember it growing up as a bunch of folks who were sort of associated and would just keep an eye on the neighborhood, make sure that everybody knew where the crime was happening. Well, the Neighbor's app is like the new neighborhood watch. On your phone, people taking stuff off porches, trying doorks late at night, missing dogs. The neighbor's app sends real-time notifications to your phone. Whenever one of your neighbors posts a heads up about something that's going on, it does keep you informed. The neighbors app I ring, it's completely free. Anyone can join, even if they do not own a ring device. I've actually downloaded it myself from the app store because I'm definitely concerned about security in my neighborhood. I put in my address and set the area around my home for a couple of miles because I really only care what's happening within those two miles. And I could see all of the local crime that was happening, people reporting exactly what was happening so you know if there's a risk that, yeah, there's been a burglary in the neighborhood or something like that. You got to check out the neighbors app yourself. The easiest way to get going is ring.com forward slash Shapiro. Ring.com forward slash Shapiro.

there's a national of local elections.

Now, as you know, there's a national show. We don't tend to put too much stock in local elections

or focus too much on local elections. But in the lead-up to 2020, everybody is looking for early

indicators for how things are going to split. And it's funny. When we talk about presidential

elections, we tend to talk in national terms, obviously. We tend to say that President Trump is going to win X percent of the popular vote, or Kamala Harris, if she were the nominee, would win X percent of the popular vote. The reality is that this election is going to come down to about three states. It's going to come down to Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan. That's pretty much it. The assumption is that President Trump is going to walk away with Ohio. That assumption seems to hold

pretty true. Florida is more competitive. If he loses Florida, the election is over. So,

assuming that Trump wins Florida and that he wins Ohio, then he still has to win two out of the three,

Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin, in order for him to retain the presidency. And the kind of

conventional wisdom had been that Trump was going to continue to be competitive in Michigan,

and that in Pennsylvania, he was still somewhat competitive, but that in Wisconsin, he was

starting to fall off. And the evidence for this is that the 2018 elections moved Wisconsin

into more blue territory. Well, last night there was a special election

in Wisconsin for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Now, the Wisconsin Supreme Court is not an overtly

partisan seat. It's not like somebody runs as a Republican or a Democrat for the actual Wisconsin Supreme

Court, but those candidates are backed by conservative groups or liberal groups. And last night,

the conservative won in Wisconsin,
