Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So, I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out, that's very illegal.
So, there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.

We are approaching 25 years after 9-11. New York is now led by people who would have sided with the terrorists. The mayor of New York City, Zarmam Tani, thinks the real victims of 9-11 were his auntie, who had to experience evil American Islamophobia, and also millions of Muslims globally, who are the true victims of American foreign policy. The governor of New York is a suicidally empathetic white lady who dons hijab in honor of Islam. This is apparently New York's electorate now. Radical Muslims and the leftists who support them will get to all of that in a moment. Plus, professional provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos gets deported. Why America's worst enemies are not coincidentally in favor of massive government redistributionism and a dirty little secret. America is currently winning and winning bigly in Iran. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
Now, time is quite the thing. It's kind of amazing to think about the fact that 9-11 is now 25 years ago. An entire generation of humans was not born when 9-11 happened. And in that forgetfulness, we tend to imbibe from the well of stupidity and suicidal ideation.
So, Kathy Hochul had herself a weekend.
Over the weekend, she did a couple of things. Well, first, she brought dance back to New York City with Kevin Bacon. So Kathy Hochul is the New York governor who inherited her position when Andrew Cuomo killed all the old people and grabbed a bunch of ass. And now she is the governor of New York. And she has been relegated to getting rid of regulations in New York that apparently banned dancing. And she brought Kevin Bacon along to explain how.

**Kathy Hochul** (3:02)
New York, did you know that for years, dancing was banned in many bars and nightclubs?

**Kevin Bacon** (3:06)
Banned? You mean it was illegal to dance?

**Kathy Hochul** (3:11)
That's right, Kevin Bacon.

**Kevin Bacon** (3:12)
If I was to come into this club and wanted to say salsa?

**Kathy Hochul** (3:17)
Nada.

**Kevin Bacon** (3:17)
Macarena?

**Kathy Hochul** (3:18)
Macanono. Whip? Nae Nae. The state used to demand you get a license to allow dancing.
But we tossed that rule out. What do you say to that, Kevin?

**Kevin Bacon** (3:26)
I say, let's dance.

**Kathy Hochul** (3:34)
We couldn't afford the rights to the original Footloose music, so whatever.

**Ben Shapiro** (3:40)
I mean, they couldn't afford the rights to the original Footloose music because the state of New York is essentially bankrupt at this point. I say, why do I bring up Kathy Hochul and the bringing back of the dance? Because Kathy Hochul, you know, she is a hardcore feminist. She's standing for the ladies.
She's standing against the patriarchy that would strip women of their rights. She's bringing dance back to New York City back in 2021 You may recall that she gave a speech in Albany in which she talked about how we need to get abortion bans off of women's bodies. Women's bodies need to be free. This can't be the Handmaid's Tale.

**Kathy Hochul** (4:16)
I just got in from Seneca Falls.
Why did I go to Seneca Falls? Well, first of all, their rally was before yours. Okay, so that's nothing personal here. I went there because I needed to channel the spirit of those brave, audacious women who 173 years ago demanded the rights to control their own bodies. They were tired of being the property of men. They stood up, they fought, and many of them did not live long enough to see the rights that they believed in and fought for in Seneca Falls at that gathering. But we are all beneficiaries of that because they had courage and stood up.
