All right, everybody, today on the All In podcast, we're joined by our friend Ben Shapiro,

0:05.9

and we have a full docket, including Trump's trip to the Middle East, the executive order

0:11.3

on Farmer Benefits.

0:12.6

We talk a little bit about mock meat being banned in Montana, and Friedberg is really upset.

0:19.2

He drops a distraction on the tax bill being supported by Republicans.

0:25.8

All that and more on the number one podcast in the world.

0:29.1

It's an all-in podcast.

0:30.0

Stick with us.

0:31.2

One thing I'm trying to figure out.

0:32.8

Do daily mail stories actually end?

0:35.6

Because I've scrolled up like seven times. No, no, no. And then

0:39.4

eight times, they never read. Those guys are like the methamphetamine of clicks. It's like click crack.

0:45.4

Yeah. They're like one more paragraph. Every time I see a daily mail article, I'm like, okay, do I have 15

My favorite daily mail story. One time that Jared Ivanka,anka were over at our house and the paparazzi

1:11.9

were following them around. They were like, can you give us a tour of the area? So drove them

1:15.7

outside for a hot second and the paparazzi immediately captured a picture of them on the back

1:20.5

of our golf cart because we're in Florida and me and my son in the front. And the Daily Mail,

1:24.7

it was the Daily Mail of Paparazzi. And so the headline was, Jared Ivanka, unnamed driver, and small boy.

1:30.8

Nick, Nick, find that picture immediately.

1:34.6

Can you cut it in?

1:37.9

Let your winners ride.

1:40.9

Rain Man, David Saches.
