Podbit · The Ben Shapiro Show
Bernie Sanders told his audience that progressives must fight on two fronts: against Trump, and to transform the Democratic Party from within. He framed it as needing to 'kill the kulaks and then also kill the Mensheviks.' Ben Shapiro can barely contain his reaction.

The political obituaries roll in. Bernie Sanders, describing his two-front progressive strategy, literally invokes killing kulaks and Mensheviks as metaphors — Shapiro can barely contain himself. [1] — Ben Shapiro "Bernie Sanders told his audience that progressives must fight on two fronts: against Trump, and to transform the Democratic Party from with…" 56:25 In Colorado, Milot Kiros — born in Ethiopia, fired from Sidley Austin for pro-Hamas activity, and on record calling 9/11 'inevitable' — defeated Diana DeGette, a 15-term incumbent, in the Democratic primary. Progressive Manny Rutinal won a swing district primary over a moderate, and Senator Michael Bennet lost the governor's race to far-left attorney general Phil Weiser. Shapiro acknowledges these could be bad candidates the way Republicans had bad candidates in 2022 Senate races, but notes that polls in Maine show GOP-leaning Collins losing to a candidate named Graham Plattner by 2 points in a district that went 11 for Harris — suggesting Plattner is badly underrunning his baseline. Meanwhile the RNC has $125 million cash versus the DNC's -$3.5 million.
Milot Kiros — fired from Sidley Austin for pro-Hamas statements, who called 9/11 'inevitable' — just beat Diana DeGette, a 15-term incumbent, in Colorado's Democratic primary. Progressives also swept a key swing district and the governor's race, cementing the left's grip on the Democratic Party.
As of July 2026, the RNC had $125 million in the bank while the DNC was $3.5 million in debt, a massive financial advantage for Republicans heading into midterms.
A New York Times/Siena poll showed Nazi-tattoo candidate Graham Plattner leading Maine Senator Susan Collins by 2 points, within the margin of error, in a district that went +11 for Kamala Harris.
Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
