I've tried not to work in politics on several occasions because, you know, it's a drag.

I mean, it's miserable.

People yell at you.

They don't like you.

Half the country hates your guts.

It's just too fun.

I just can't help it.

Hey, hey, and welcome. This is the Ben Shapiro Show Sunday special. I'm eager, somewhat eager, to welcome to the show. Michael Moles, the excreble, as you know him, the host of the Michael Mnull show. Michael, somewhat thank you for stopping by. Ben, thank you for having me. Is that word, by the way, when I listen to the show, I always hear the excellent Michael Knowles. Is that the... That's totally not what it means. Okay, well, I'll look out back. Absolutely. I'll look at. Okay. So, you know, let's start with current events. Let's start what's happening now. So you've been watching these Democratic debates. Every minute. I don't know how you've been doing it. I've had to, I don't drink.

I've had to drink heavily. I will say that sniffing glue was still on the table. How's the experience been for you? What was your takeaway from the, we've seen now two rounds of democratic debates? What's your takeaway so far? My experience is very simple. I put little crystals all around my couch as I sit down. I get the orbs and the dream catchers hanging from the ceiling, and then I channel the dark psychic force that is the 2020 Democratic

presidential debates. And then it all makes sense. When you realize it's all a dark psychic force

and that Marianne Williamson is the most sane person on that stage, then they all sort

to make sense. Because, you know, I'm mostly joking about Marianne Williamson, but she actually

had, I think it was three of the most accurate sentences in that debate, the most recent debate.

The first one is that wonkiness is not going to decide the Democratic nominee.

Ain't going to, nobody cares about the bean counting of how many zillions of dollars of our money they're going to spend on X, Y, and Z social program.

The second one is about the dark psychic force, because it actually is the case that politics at bottom is cultural and even below that is theological.

There actually is a spiritual component to politics.

It's not all just adding up numbers on a spreadsheet.

And then the third statement that I think she made correctly is that if Democrats don't change their strategy, Trump is going to win.

I mean, looking around that stage, which of those candidates is possibly going to beat Trump? I think this is totally right. I mean, I pointed out that Marianne Williams said everybody's sort of making fun of the whole Marianne Williamson phenomenon, but she's talking at a different level than the other Democrats, and she's actually making what is a more honest appeal for a lot of Democrats than the other Democrats The Democrats are fighting with each other over is it Medicare for all or Medicare for anyone who wants it or whatever?

And she's talking about, no, there's deep, rough waters in this country, and we have to investigate that and get to the heart of it. She's speaking to spirit in a way that Obama did in 2008, actually. No one cared about Obama on policy in 2008. It was about the hope and the feel and the zeitgeist. And she's doing a lot more of that than any of the other candidates. So it is kind of fascinating. I think there is something happening with her. She's not going to be the nominee, but I think that anybody who's able to tap into even a remote amount of what she's doing, it could create something fascinating. And that was night one of the debate. Yes. And then there was night two, which was supposed to be rock'em-sockham robots with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. And Kamala Harris basically ends up in pieces on the floor, but not because of Joe Biden. You're talking about that cop Kamala Harris? You're talking about that crooked cop Kamala? Yes, Kamala had her candidacy basically shredded by Tulsi Gabbard. It was a, it was, that was the exchange of the night.

I mean, everyone was waiting for Kamala and Biden, and Biden pretty much collapsed under the weight of his,
