The crowd chants send her back about Ilhan Omar at a Trump rally.

El Hanamar demonstrates her anti-Semitism and Nancy Pelosi goes silent.

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

So the spiral to garbage land continues.

Apparently everyone has decided to light themselves on fire both morally and politically. And I got to tell you, I'm not enjoying it all that much. I got to tell you that I don't feel like the country is becoming a better place through any of this. Now, I know that we are supposed to just join into the tribal beatings. I know that we are supposed to say that when bad things happen on our own side, it's not actually bad because we're in the middle of a tribal partisan fight. And I know that that applies to both sides. I also think that's a bunch of crap. I think that it is very important that when something bad happens, even if it happens on your own side, that you call it out. I'm not seeing that from Republicans. I'm not seeing that from Democrats. And frankly, I find it upsetting. And I find it upsetting because if we are going to share a country,

if we actually feel that there is a future to this whole we're a republic thing and we share a

country, then we are going to have to have some common moral standard where we say this right

here, this is garbage and people shouldn't be doing this. And brushing it aside or saying,

well, you know, if we act like garbage a little in order so that we can win, doing that sort of routine, I don't think is good for the country. I don't think that it is good for the soul of the country. I don't think it's good for us. I think that it is bad if we see each other in such a nature that when we see something that if the other side did it to us,

we would be completely enraged, but we're doing it to the other side or vice versa, that we are going to be okay with it because it advances our interests. I just, I don't think that that's all right. I don't think that that's okay. I think it's dangerous, in fact. Now, this goes for both sides. And today's show is going to be about how both

sides have decided to wink and nod at some of the worst forces in their politics, specifically

because they think the other side is so evil. Once you come down to the vision that the other side

is so evil that any means necessary are on the table, and also, once you come down on the side that most

Americans are so vicious and or vacuous that your viciousness is going to attract voters, I think that

you are missing the point of most Americans in the middle. I think you're missing the point of the

other side. The idea of American politics is to convince people who are in the middle,

people who may not be watching politics closely, that your side is correct, that your policy

prescriptions are right. The most dangerous drug in American politics, and it really has crept up

in American politics, I think, over the last 20 years or so, I think particularly since the

Iraq war, is this vision that the way

you win elections is by castigating your political opponents as, if you're on the left,

you castigate right-wingers as racist and stupid and bitter clingers who cling to their gods
