00:00:00.000 If you think that woke is going away, woke is absolutely 100% not going away.
00:00:04.000 And you can see it because people still invoke woke in order to get where they want to go.
00:00:11.000 I will say it is truly astonishing the continuation of celebrities who are attempting to undermine basic Americanism, whether it's the WNBA, where you have women literally running off the court during the WNBA final.
00:00:24.000 I know you didn't know it was happening because no one knew it was happening because Caitlyn Clark isn't in them.
00:00:28.000 But the WNBA finals are ongoing, apparently, reportedly.
00:00:31.000 Their two viewers have told me.
00:00:33.000 And at those WNBA finals, the women are running off the court during the national anthem.
00:00:37.000 They're not the only ones.
00:00:38.000 LeBron James, who is an obnoxious human being, during the national anthem decided that was an amazing time to work on his golf swing.
00:00:45.000 That's what it looked like, at least.
00:00:47.000 If you have any other excuses, I'd love to hear them.
00:00:54.000 You can see that he's legitimately working on his golf swing here.
00:00:59.000 Maybe he's stretching.
00:01:01.000 If so, that's the least effective stretch of all time.
00:01:01.000 Maybe.
00:01:05.000 I mean, here he is, and here he is, you know, mimicking his free throws.
00:01:12.000 He couldn't wait two seconds.
00:01:14.000 He had to mimic his free throws during the national anthem or work on his golf swing pregame.
00:01:14.000 He couldn't wait two seconds.
00:01:20.000 So, President Trump, of course, jumped right into the fray.
00:01:22.000 Quote While listening to our national anthem, LeBron James disrespects our country.
00:01:26.000 I said right from the beginning, he's no good, a total disgrace.
00:01:28.000 LeBron James should apologize to all those great American warriors and heroes who died for the American flag and all that our country stands for, President Trump.
00:01:35.000 The president's not wrong about that.
00:01:36.000 He's just not.
00:01:36.000 I mean, regardless of what you think of president, I didn't stop listening to the national anthem when Joe Biden was president and start like making golf motions during the national anthem when Joe Biden was president of the United States.
00:01:52.000 Pretty disgraceful.
00:01:53.000 LeBron James has gotten rich and famous in the United States because the United States is an extraordinary place.
00:01:58.000 He owes everything he has to the fact that he lives in the United States.
00:02:02.000 The least he can do is stand still during the Star Spangled Banner. 0.95
00:02:05.000 And ladies of the WNBA, even more so, considering they have no appreciable skill set other than playing basketball somewhat badly. 0.74
00:02:12.000 Well, that wasn't the only sports controversy of the day. 0.51
00:02:15.000 So I don't know who they hired over at the Atlanta Falcon graphic design shop.
00:02:23.000 It's not great.
00:02:25.000 So they dropped their new logo.
00:02:28.000 And I don't know if Goebbels designed their new logo or what.
00:02:32.000 But for those who can't see it, it is a silhouette of a Falcon against stripes that are black, white, brown, and red.
00:02:44.000 Not great.
00:02:46.000 Doesn't look fantastic.
00:02:49.000 And it doesn't help that the top of the stadium is literally a Mercedes Benz logo.
00:02:54.000 This is what happens when you hire the 20 year old graphic designer who doesn't know anything about world history.
00:03:02.000 It's literally called Mercedes Benz Stadium.
00:03:05.000 Maybe they should launch a car for the people.
00:03:10.000 Yeah, little known facts about automotive history.
00:03:12.000 It was Hitler who designed the Volkswagen Beetle.
00:03:16.000 But, you know, I suppose that the Atlanta Falcons, it'll be an interesting game when they face off against the Cleveland Brownshirts or the Pittsburgh Steel Helmets or the Carolina Panzers or the Tennessee Teutons. 0.85
00:03:31.000 Perhaps the, you know, when the San Francisco 88ers show up, it'll be weird.
00:03:35.000 Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins.
00:03:39.000 This has been a very, this has been an incredibly punny couple of weeks here on the Ben Shapiro show.
00:03:45.000 And the dad jokes are just not going to stop.
00:03:46.000 So if you don't enjoy them, well, you know, tough.
00:03:48.000 You're not going to do anything more important today than helping to save a life.
00:03:52.000 That's what preborn does every single day. 1.00
00:03:53.000 So, a lot of women, and they don't know what to do. 1.00
00:03:55.000 They get pregnant and they go into some sort of clinic.
00:03:58.000 And that clinic is not a preborn clinic.
00:04:00.000 And instead of being offered an ultrasound and more information and knowledge, they're just told, Hey, terminate the pregnancy.
00:04:05.000 Your life's going to be awesome.
00:04:06.000 And that's not true.
00:04:07.000 It's not true.
00:04:08.000 Through the ministry of preborn, which makes sure that women get ultrasounds, more than 50,000 babies have been saved this year alone.
00:04:14.000 Well, now preborn wants to help rescue 50,000 more babies.
00:04:17.000 Just 28 bucks sponsors an ultrasound and can help save a baby's life to give.
00:04:21.000 Dial pound 250.
00:04:22.000 Say keyword baby.
00:04:23.000 That's pound 250.
00:04:25.000 We've been working with preborn for years.
00:04:25.000 Baby.
00:04:27.000 Helping to save lives, you should go help them out right now. 1.00
00:04:30.000 Again, no better cause on planet Earth than helping a woman make the best possible decision about her baby, which is to have that baby and give that baby the gift of life.
00:04:39.000 Donate securely at preborn.comslash Ben.
00:04:42.000 That's preborn.comslash Ben.
00:04:44.000 All gifts are tax deductible.
00:04:45.000 Again, you can give by dialing pound two fifty and saying keyword baby or donate securely at preborn.comslash Ben.
00:04:51.000 I mean, honestly, if one team was going to do this, it felt like it might be the Falcons after they blitzkrieged the Patriots in 2017 and had this big lead.
00:05:00.000 They basically secured France and Poland.
00:05:02.000 And then it turns out that just all fell apart for them in the second half.
00:05:06.000 And the Falcons, we can do these puns all day, folks.
00:05:09.000 We really, really, really can.
00:05:12.000 Is their new logo a Heil Mary?
00:05:15.000 Is it possible that their new logo is a nine out of 10?
00:05:19.000 Get it?
00:05:19.000 Nine?
00:05:22.000 It feels as though suddenly the UK is on high alert.
00:05:25.000 Are the Falcons even going to be allowed to play in the UK or are they going to have to break out the RAF to stop them? 0.83
00:05:31.000 That is, again, this is why you can't let the millennials, not the millennials, the Gen Zers, you can't let the Gen Zers do your graphic design, folks. 0.96
00:05:37.000 You really can't. 1.00
00:05:38.000 They haven't read any books.
00:05:38.000 They don't know anything.
00:05:39.000 They don't know the logos.
00:05:41.000 They don't know.
00:05:42.000 They just don't know.
00:05:43.000 Either that or Nick Fenton somehow ended up in the Falcons graphic design unit.
00:05:52.000 Producer Sarah points out perhaps it was just a person who didn't get into the art school of their dreams. 0.89
00:05:58.000 Well, speaking of dumb racial issues, the ACLU is now falling apart. 0.94
00:06:03.000 Oh, it's sad. 0.98
00:06:04.000 The ACLU of Indiana.
00:06:06.000 Apparently, according to the Indianapolis Star, it is in turmoil after several of its most influential civil rights attorneys submitted their resignations in protests of the organization's direction under its board and incoming leader.
00:06:17.000 At the center of the rift is a person named Nikita Oliver, whose start date has been repeatedly postponed.
00:06:23.000 Longtime staffers are complaining because Oliver questioned the objectivity of ACLU attorneys who are Jewish, said the ACLU is too pure on civil liberties, and intended to use the nonpartisan organization to turn Indiana quote unquote light red.
00:06:38.000 Meaning to make them Democrats, which is a potential violation of the group's tax exempt status.
00:06:43.000 Oliver uses they, them pronouns, was a member of the Seattle's People Party, received an endorsement from Macklemore, and was part of the occupation of Seattle in 2020, the Chaz Chop occupation of Tale. 0.56
00:06:55.000 Great job, ACLU.
00:06:56.000 You guys are all doing amazing.
00:06:58.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:07:00.000 Wasn't that amazing?

00:07:56.000 You sit there and shake because you're dependent on drink.
00:07:58.000 Your sickness all over you.
00:08:02.000 Have you ever seen a child starve to death, Professor? 0.96
00:08:07.000 No. I have.
