Why, hi there. We're back. It's a Monday. And it was an eventful weekend, as my weekends have tended to be lately. And so we'll talk about everything that happened over the weekend a little bit later in the show. We'll also talk about Donald Trump and whether he's responsible for violence at his rallies. We'll talk about all of these things, plus an uplifting segment of things that I like. We'll get to all of those things. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show. Tend to demonize people who don't care about your feelings. So before we begin, do have to welcome a new sponsor to the program. Yay! New sponsors to the program. Look at that. And thanks to you, the listener, for making that possible. And we thank our new sponsor, Hillsdale. Hillsdale College. I've been associated with Hillsdale College myself for a long time, spoken several times at Hillsdale events. They are a wonderful college. It's a great institution. What if it was a requirement for every person in public office to sleep with a copy of the Constitution under their pillow?

0:55.9

You know, alongside their gun.

0:57.3

And instead of simple random drug tests, we'd actually have simple random constitutional rights test.

1:02.1

If you actually want to fully understand the Constitution and your constitutional rights,

1:06.3

I encourage you to check out the free online course Constitution 101 at Hillsdale College.

1:11.7

You can sign up for Hillsdale College's Constitution 101 for free at Hillsdale.edu slash Ben.

1:17.4

That's hillsdale.edu slash Ben.

1:19.8

If you do that, then they know that you're coming from our show, and that's very helpful to us and to them, obviously.

1:24.3

Know your right and know what's in the Constitution, even as the left tries to

1:28.2

destroy it. Hillsdale is one of the few institutions in the country. I really can honestly

1:31.6

speak passionately about Hillsdale, wonderful, wonderful institution, one of the few places in America

1:35.8

that still teaches basic founding philosophy and still teaches basic declaration of independence,

1:41.2

constitutional ideas, and ideals. So check them out. Again, that's hillsdale.edu slash Ben. Okay, so I promise you we will get to all of the breaking news from Breitbart and all of that. I know there are a lot of people who are listening and watching today because of all the drama. But I first want to start with the actual news because the truth is that I'm not the news story. Michelle Fields is not the news story.

2:02.6

We'll get to all of that and what I actually think of that.

2:05.4

I can tell you that I haven't slept for about 48 hours at this point,

2:09.8

and this whole situation makes me sick to my stomach.

2:12.6

But first, as I say, to the news.

2:15.1

So one of the big things that's been happening over the weekend is we talked about it last week, this sort of violence that's been breaking out at Donald Trump rallies.

2:23.0

So in the last podcast, we showed tape of, for example, a Donald Trump rally goer, somebody who was a fan of Donald Trump's clocking a black guy as he was walking out.

2:33.1

He's a protester being escorted out by security. And one of the folks in the audience clocked him with his elbow

2:39.4

and then said that next time maybe we'll have to kill him. And Donald Trump continues to

2:44.9

sort of foment this feeling among a lot of his followers. We're fighting back, but not just fighting
