Hey, folks, it's a Sunday.

That means it's time to jump into the Ben Shapiro show mailbag.

Reminder, you actually have to be a subscriber over at DailyWireplus.com

in order to have your question answered in the mailbag. Steve says, hey, Ben. My name is Steve. I'm a father of two, five-year-old girl, three-year-old boy. Could you recommend some TV and book content for my family while we wait for the DW Kids content? Thank you for all you do. We'll continue to support you and your company until my last dollar is spent.

So we pre-screen everything that our kids watch on the TVs. Or we use old

movies. So there are a bunch of old kids TV shows like the original Mr. Rogers, for example,

that you can still get. My little girl, three-year-old, she watches most episodes, virtually

all episodes of Daniel Tiger are okay on PBS.

There are episodes of, what's the name of that one, Bluey? There's some decent kids shows, but you do have to pre-screen them, or at least Google them. I just Google each episode and make sure that it doesn't include anything left-wing messaging intended because sometimes they try to sneak stuff in. Keith says, hey, Ben, I think the time is right. How do we create a movement to turn July into American Pride Month? There are a lot of people in the country who love America and traditional American values. All those people need an opportunity to celebrate that love, just a thought. Well, that would require some actual regularization. So one of the things that religion does is it creates actual

ritual. July 4th has ritual, fireworks displays, barbecues, parades. We need more of those rituals.

Pride Month has tons of rituals. Those rituals include display of particular types of flags,

big parties on the White House lawn, giant marches through the center of our cities,

every corporation,

mirroring the political priors of the left wing. You actually need some ritual that people are

supposed to do to create a feeling of solidarity. So declaring things American Pride Month wouldn't

actually do enough. You actually have to do American Pride Month with a series of rituals that

everybody can adopt and then be part of the club. That's how it works.

Nicholas says, growing up, I was absolutely terrified of verbal confrontation. For instance, a kid verbally insulted my sister right in front of me. I basically did nothing. It was a humiliating moment. There were other incidents where I didn't stand up for myself. I've never been good on my feet in this moment. This character defect of mine was one of the leading factors in my drug addiction. I'm now seven years sober, but still battle with those resentments. I pray every day and regain my faith in God thanks to the folks like you and Matt and Michael and everyone

else at the Daily Wire. was one of the leading factors in my drug addiction. I'm now seven years sober, but still battle with those resentments. I pray every day and regain my faith in God thanks to the folks like you

and Matt and Michael and everyone else at the Daily Wire. I know God forgives me and loves me. Why can't I forgive myself? My question is, do you know anyone who battles with these sorts of resentments or any type of resentment? How do they handle them? Thanks for everything you do and God bless. I mean, And the first way to battle resentment is to be grateful.

Grateful that you escape to all of that.

You have to understand that you don't have a time machine.
