Ricky Gervais mashes Hollywood around ratches up the rhetoric and so does President and Trump and Democratic 2020 candidate struggle for a response. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro Show. 2020, starting off of the bang, the Ben Shapiro show is sponsored by ExpressVPN. Why haven't you gotten a VPN yet? Visit expressvPN.com slash ben. How many times I got to tell you this? ExpressVPN.com slash Ben. Go check them out. All righty. So we will get to everything in the Iran news. The reason that we will delay that for just a moment is because something actually fun happened last night. I know. When we talk politics, usually it's very grumpy. Usually it's about all the terrible things happening in the world. All the stress is happening. Believe me, we'll get to all the stress. We'll get to the 2020 election. We'll get to the situation with Iran, which the media are playing up. They mean, they really are. They are playing up everything as though we are at crisis level 10, right, as though we've gone all the way down to DefCon 1. Like we are, we are, we are all the way at the brink of World War. That is not the case. They're taking headlines and they're exaggerating those headlines. They're taking stories and then they're making more of the stories than is reality. So you're seeing stories about the reinstitution of the draft. Sure. Yes, guys, we're going to reinstitute the draft in order to fight Iran. Yes, I'm sure that's, that's right around the corner. You're seeing stories about the Iraqi parliament voting to expel the American. Again, nope, that's not really the story. We'll get to all that in just a second. Suffice it to say, the media are driving a lot of the wartime escalation rhetoric that is happening right now. Now, President Trump is attempting to reestablish

deterrence. President Trump is doing a very, very rudimentary take on mutually assured destruction

and deterrence right here. And it's driving people on the left nuts. Not because they don't like

his language, they don't, but because they don't like the underlying policy. And they don't like

the fact that Trump is brusk and that Trump says something in ways the common man can understand. They would prefer that everything be stated in perfectly statesman-like fashion. But what they really don't like is the message that he's conveying, not how he is conveying the message. We'll get to all of that in just a second, but we first have to talk about something that was actually fun that happened last night. So the Golden Globes happened last night. Now, I am not one to watch the Golden Globes. So I will admit, I was not watching

this thing live. Instead, I started to see Ricky Gervais trending. And whenever Ricky Gervais hosts one

of these shows, you know that it's going to be at the very least amusing and maybe better than that,

because Ricky Gervase does not give any bleeps.

He does not care at all about the Hollywood crowd.

He finds them self-serving.

He finds them off-putting.

He thinks they're ridiculous because they are.

Okay.

And last night at the Golden Globes, Ricky Gervais just took Hollywood and threw them in a meat grinder a la Fargo.

He just took the leading members,

and they were so angry about it. The cutaways to Ricky Jervase's jokes were better than his jokes

because the cutaways were all to members of the Hollywood crowd not being able to laugh at themselves

on any level, sitting there stone-faced as Ricky Jervase just tore them apart. It was wonderful.

It was what America has been waiting for. Ricky Jervase, 2020, man, because it was just spectacular. We get to that in just one second. First, let's talk about why you need the Second Amendment. I mean, the real reason you need the Second Amendment is to ensure not only that you are safe, but also to ensure that your rights are protected. This is the reason why the founding fathers enshrined the Second Amendment right after the first, because they understood that the true guarantor of American freedom was an armed population abiding by the law and defending its rights. Well, if you are a law-abiding citizen, well, maybe you're looking to buy a great rifle. If you're looking to buy a great rifle, you need to work with my friends over at bravo company mfg.com. Owning a rifle is an awesome responsibility, and so is building rifles. Started in a garage by a Marine veteran more than two decades ago. Bravo Company Manufacturing, BCM for short, builds a professional-grade product built to combat standards. Bravo Company manufacturing is not a sporting arms company. They design, engineer, and manufacture life-saving equipment. The people at BCM assume that when a rifle leaves their shop, it will in fact be used in a life-or-death situation by a responsible citizen law enforcement officer or a soldier overseas, which is a good assumption. In fact is, I'm not buying a gun so that I can go hunting. I'm not a hunter. I'm buying a gun because I want to make sure that I'm safe and my rights are safe.
