Democrats fight over impeachment. The squad takes the lead again, and Joe Biden vows to reorient

before next week's big debates. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

All right. We have a lot to get to today, so let's just jump right in. The fact is that the Democrats

are divided over what to do about impeachment. And this divide is mirroring the

divide between AOC and Nancy Pelosi. This, of course, is going to be the running gun battle that goes

all the way through the 2020 election. It's certainly going to take place in the primaries. As we'll

see, it's reflected in Joe Biden versus Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, but it's not coming

together anytime soon. Now, a couple of weeks ago,

this was breaking right out in the open. AOC was saying that Nancy Pelosi was a vicious,

brutal racist. And Pelosi, for her part, was saying that AOC was a neophyte who really didn't know

what she was doing. And they'd been saying this about each other kind of in softer ways for months.

AOC had been saying for months that Nancy Pelosi was freezing her out. She was the teenage girl whose mom wouldn't let her use the car and she was really mad about it. After all, Mom, I know how to use the car. And Pelosi was like, well, last time I drove with you, you ran into a tree. So we're not doing that again. That was the argument. And then it was papered over by the fact that President Trump couldn't keep his tweet shut.

And so he just decided to tweet out a bunch of stuff about how much he hates the squad and how the squad's really bad and they should go back to their home countries and all of this.

And we all remember that controversy.

Well, it turns out that controversy is not going to be papered over by unification against Trump for very long.

Because in the end, Democrats are going to have to settle this one way or another.

Being in the opposition papers over a lot of internal differences.

This is something that Republicans found out when they were in the opposition.

When they were in the opposition to President Obama, then it was unity, unity.

We can't stand Obama's agenda. We're all going to unify to fight Obama's agenda in every conceivable way. Then they went back to the House, and it turns out they can't get anything done because the Freedom Caucus is at war with the more moderate members of the caucus. And it turns out that Paul Ryan is at war with other members of the caucus. It turns out that some members of the caucus wants entitlement reform and other members of the caucus. And it turns out that Paul Ryan is at war with other members of the caucus.

It turns out that some members of the caucus wants entitlement reform and other members of the caucus don't want entitlement reform. It turns out there are vast divisions inside each one

of the parties. It's an additional check and balance that the founders never really thought about.
