Bernie Sanders shares some unfortunate news with his followers.

The Israeli election comes to an end and a Democratic congressman spars with Candace Owens.

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

A lot to get to today.

Obviously, the big news out of Israel is that Bibi Netanyahu retains the prime ministership for a fifth term. He has been prime minister for well over a decade at this point. Netanyahu has, for the fifth straight time, surprised the press in Israel, which is constantly on the left and has been routinely critical. And obviously, the New York Times is very unhappy about all this. We'll get to all of that in just one second. First, let's talk about how you can have a more calming sleep. So I've said on the show many times, I am not good at sleep. This is why we have so many sponsors about sleep, all of them attempting to make my sleep better. Well, one of the sponsors that makes my sleep better and better every night is calming comfort. So I've tried this calming comfort blanket by sharper image.

It's a luxurious weighted blanket that helps you relax so you can fall asleep and stay asleep naturally.

It's designed with high density comfort fill to provide exactly the right amount of weight to help relax your body.

You're not shifting around as much as your sleep or rolling around or bawling up the blanket or anything like that.

It's made with a super soft velveteen material. It is designed to promote a sense of calmness and relaxation for a more restful sleep. When you're under the blanket, there's a feeling almost of being hugged. I mean, there's an actual weight to the blanket. So you are essentially being weighted down. And that means that you're not going to be getting all that nervous energy that you get when you're trying to fall asleep. It is really fantastic. I mean, it's so good that I actually went out and I got a second one because my wife liked it so much. You can sleep better and feel great and stress less. Also, the calming comfort is 100% machine washable. It is dry or safe. It is, it really is fantastic. I can't speak highly enough of the calming comfort blanket.

So with 96% of all the ballots in Netanyahu retains the prime ministership. He essentially wins the same

number of seats as the so-called Kachovil-Lavan party, the blue and white party. And that party was

a unity party that was created. These things happen in Israel sometimes, where a unity party

is created by a couple of prominent figures just in time for the election. A while back, Ariel Sharon had left

the Likud Party, which is the right-wing party in Israel, and had created his own party called Kadima.

And for a couple of election cycles, Kadima was an actual thing. And then it sort of fell apart.

The two big parties historically in Israel for people who don't follow Israeli politics are

Likud and labor. Labor has completely fallen off the map. The left in Israel has people who don't follow Israeli politics, Arlikud and labor. Labor has completely
