Start your free trial on shopify.com Senator Lindsey Graham died this weekend at 71 years old. The man spent his life fighting for the idea that American power is a force for good in the world and that you meet America's Enemies with strength. And there were a lot of prominent people who were ecstatic that he was dead. Absolutely ecstatic. The Iranian leadership, the Russian leadership, and of course the echo chamber of evil. Tucker Carlson and Anna Kasparian, Hassan Piker and Nick Fuentes. I've been talking about the political horseshoe that's formed in American politics for quite a while between the America haters of the left and the America haters of the purported right. Well, that horseshoe has now become a wedding ring and it is in fact a threat to the country. We'll get into all of it. Plus, a Democratic congressman makes up a scandal in the so called west bank in order to run for president. It's not going to work. Plus, Miley Cyrus discovers something weird about dating. This is the Ben Shapiro show. So late on Saturday evening, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina died in very sudden fashion. It was unexpected by everybody. It wasn't a long illness apparently. It was sort of aortic anomaly. A few hours later, by the way, my wife gave birth to our fifth child, a bouncing baby boy. Which led to not a few Internet memes about how Lindsay had actually been reincarnated in my son. Listen, I'll say this. If my kid grows up to be a multiple term senator who stands for American power in the world and never enriches himself off his office and has the hatred of all the people who hate America the most, he could do worse. A lot worse. Because here is the thing. We can judge a man by his enemies. You know who was happy when Lindsey Graham died? Iran was very happy. Russia was very happy. You know who else was really, really happy? The echo chamber of evil. So who is that echo chamber of evil? Well, the dirtbag left and the two online, right? They hug each other, they help each other, they maximize each other. They collab on destroying America. So what you have here is a closed loop, an echo chamber where the same dozen people cycle through each other's shows saying the same poisonous things, trying to maximize everybody's exposure. Cenk Uyghur has a show with Anna Kasparian and it's Hasan Piker's uncle. It's where Hasan got his start. Candace Owens has Tucker on Tucker platforms. Nick Fuentes and Cenk and Anna Schenk endorses Tucker. Hasan nods along with the same lines that Nick Fuentes is posting. They're all pretending to be opponents, but they're not. They all hate the country together. Because here's the thing. If you are left to judge who loved the country more, the senator who spent 33 years in the United States military, spanning the active duty air Force, South Carolina Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve. The Senator who stood for American peace through strength and stood staunchly alongside our allies like Ukraine and Israel against Russia and Iran. The Senator who never made a penny off his office, unlike pseudo socialists like say, Congressman ro Khanna, worth $250 million. Or alternatively, the influencer class who thrill to terrorists and dictators and openly celebrate that senator's death. I'll pick Senator Lindsey Graham every single time. If these are the people who celebrated Lindsey Graham's death the most, then hell, Lindsey Graham may be one of the best senators of all time. Again, Lindsey Graham stood for American strength. These Jack stand for American weakness, surrender and collapse. They think America is a nefarious force abroad, that America's allies are the problem. That terrorists are basically just freedom fighters against American and Western imperialism. They're propagandists for the people who would love to see America laid low. And of course they help each other. Isn't about connecting the dots. It's the same dot. They believe basically the same things. They may disagree from time to time about issues like transing of the kids, but that's kind of the only issue. The rest of the time they're lying on the really important thing, which is that America sucks. And that America if those who stand for her, her allies, all of them are just wicked in the world. So here's the thing. When you think America is imperialistic, when you think it's evil, when you think the world would be better off if we were governed by the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians, you know, all of the people who hate America the most. That our enemies are better than our allies and that those who stand for America deserve to die. You're the bad guy. I wish I were exaggerating here, but they all pretty much just said it out loud over the weekend. Well, all the worst people are very, very excited about Lindsey Graham's death. All the worst people. But listen, whenever you talk about mortality or the passage of time, it's a big reminder that you don't have time to waste. I mean, that's still reality. And we just had a baby.

Iranian state media, of course, were ecstatic at Lindsey Graham's death because Graham had been a longtime critic of the Islamic revolutionary regime in Iran. They put out a statement, quote, I would like to offer my congratulations to the great nation of Iran on Lindsey Graham reaching the depths of hell. I offer my congratulations to the great nation of Iran on the death of this warmongering and anti Iranian American senator. Alexander Dugin in Russia was also very, very excited about the death of Lindsey Graham. And of course, so were all of the worst people in America. Alexander Dugan, by the way, of course he said that actually he tried to blame it on, on the Israelis. There were rumors over the weekend that maybe Lindsey Graham had been assassinated because of his sudden mode of death. There is no information to suggest that he was actually assassinated. His family says that he died of an aortic anomaly. But Alexander Dugan tried to blame it on. Wait for it, wait for it. Mossad. Of course, of course. He said Lindsey Graham was a shadow of Trump, his black self. Okay? But Hasan Piker, he was out there doing the routine. Hasan Piker, remember this guy openly campaigned with Democratic candidates on the regular. He's with Zoran Damni in New York. He's with Abdul El Sayed, who, by the way, I got to mention, the left is much more upset with the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. The hard left, the dirtbag, left the DSA way more upset with the death of Ayatollah Khamenei than they were with the death of Lindsey Graham. Very happy. Many of them about the death of Lindsey Graham. Here's Hasan Piker again. Somebody the New York Times can't spend too much time glazing, praising the death of Lindsey Graham.

Hasan Piker

Lindsey Graham in a long list of demonic entities was exceptionally bloodthirsty. A bloodthirsty, odious monster who loved war. There was never a war or that Lindsey Graham did not fall in love with Mr. Ladybug himself. And the ultimate irony, the ultimate irony of the situation is that he achieved him and his best friend John McCain's dream of bombing Iran. A fierce defender of the genocide in Gaza, Lindsey Graham never met a baby in the third World. He did not want to evaporate with American munitions.

Ben Shapiro

I mean, Hasan Piker, of course, is perhaps the biggest scumbag in American public life. He's saying all this, by the way, flanked by the flag of China behind him. It's astonishing. Tucker Carlson, though, believes exactly the same thing as Hassan Piker, indistinguishable. Here is Tucker Carlson saying exactly the same thing as Hassan Piker because again, they believe the same things.

Tucker Carlson

Killing is the point of Lindsey Graham's political career. Trying to convince the rest of us to get on board with killing when we won't, screaming at us and calling us names. And you're the hater because you're not on board with killing this or that person. It's all about killing people. A staunch supporter of really one of the most brutal dictators, let's just say it out loud, in Europe in 80 years. And that would be Zelensky, the unelected dictator of Ukraine, who's basically devoting half of his life to extinguishing Christianity in Ukraine. All of us are supposed to ignore that, but it's actually happening. Putting priests in jail, killing his political opponents, murdering critics. That's happening right now. Lindsey Graham, of course, loves him because he's doing a lot of killing, killing the right people, as Lindsey put it.

Ben Shapiro

Tucker Carlson suggested that Lindsey Graham was a murderer because Lindsey Graham had a psychosexual fetish with violence. As a Tucker Carlson, Hassan Piker, same person, Nick Fuentes put out a tweet saying good riddance after Lindsey Graham's death, which was an identical tweet to the tweet put out by Anna Kasparian, who has lost her ever loving mind over the course of the last couple of years. She also put out again, same exact words, good riddance, indistinguishable, remove the names, same words, Ana Kasparian, Nick Fuentes, and then of course, Anna Kasparian put out A tweet in which she said that he was. She was elated that he was dead. Of course, that was in 2020. She actually put out a tweet saying that you shouldn't gloat over anyone's death. And now Fast forward to 2026, and she says that she's elated and overjoyed that Lindsey Graham is dead. And the horseshoe is. Is not even a horseshoe. It is just a dot. They believe the same things. They believe the same things. It is just a gigantic circle jerk of mutual praise. This echo chamber of nastiness and evil and anti Americanism. I mean, they all go on each other's podcast. This is their thing. Whether it is Fuentes going on with Tucker or whether it is Cenk going on with Tucker, whether it is Cenk going on with Piker, whether it is Anna going on with Chenk, whether it is. Whether it is Anna going on with Tucker, it's all the same thing, over and over and over into forever. And I think that if Lindsey Graham's death exposes one thing, it is that all the people who oppose him think the same thing. And that is that America is the problem on planet Earth. And that's why they're happy he's dead, because he was an advocate for American power on planet Earth. Now, listen, I didn't always agree with Lindsey Graham and how his policies manifested as sort of his ideology. So, for example, Lindsey Graham was very invested in the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi. That's something that I opposed. I thought that was a bad manifestation of a generally good ideology. But is it good that he is dead? Is that something that is good? Because, again, Tucker Carlson is the person who clutches his pearls when the Iranians fire a missile at Qatar at the same time that he defends Iran. Anna Kasparian is a person who has openly called for the death of IDF troops and also is very much in favor of the death of Lindsey Graham. And if you spend your days making sweet, sweet love to terrorist ideologies and being extremely nuanced about the death of the people who hate America the most, but you are absolutely crystal clear that when Lindsey Graham dies is a good thing, you're part of the problem. Of course, part of the problem on the mainstream left is this is now bled over into the mainstream left, you will find it no surprise that in the New York Times, they're contrasting headlines about Lindsey Graham and, say, Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian terror master. Pretty strong contrast. Their headline about Lindsey Graham, quote, lindsey Graham had a complicated relationship with black voters as opposed to, you know, Qasem Soleimani, the terror bastard. Quote, Qassem Soleimani, master of Iran's intrigue, built a Shiite axis of power in the Middle East. Or say the Washington Post throwback headline about Al Baghdadi, the terrorist leader of isis. Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at home of Islamic state, dies at 48. You know, he's counting our legacy media to provide nuance for terrorists, but very little when it comes to Republican politicians who die. Steve Schmidt, the former Republican who has made the full heel turn, he put out an entire piece ripping into Lindsey Graham. Quote, lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention. He was a pathetic man. He helped Trump divide America and break our alliance, his ideals and traditions. He was no patriot. Lindsey Graham made his choice. Now, again, the rip from Steve Schmidt on Graham is that Graham was too close to Trump. That is not quite the rip that you are getting from these others. The rip they're getting from these others is that he was inherently evil because he stood for American power in the world. Which brings us to what actually Lindsey Graham did stand for. And so let us be clear. Lindsey Graham is an American success story. He was the son of pool hall owners. They owned a bar. He grew up helping his parents run the business. They lived in a room behind the bar. They moved into a mobile home. He was the first person in his family to go to college. His parents died 15 months apart from one another. His mom had Hodgkin's lymphoma. His died, his dad died from a heart attack. Graham became his sister Darlene's legal guardian. She's nine years younger than he is and she is the person who's going to be replacing him in the Senate. Graham joined the Air Force rotc, and then he served as an Air Force JAG officer. And then he was in the South Carolina National Guard and Air Force Reserve. And he retired as a colonel after spending 33 years serving the country. He was in the U.S. house from 95 to 2003 and then the U.S. senate from 2003 until his death over the weekend. So 23 years. He was an extraordinarily powerful senator. He was chairing the Senate Budget Committee at the time of his death. He had previously chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee. He'd served on the Appropriations, Armed Services and Environment and Public Works Committee. And of course, he was most famous for being extremely national security oriented, making sure that the United States remained at the forefront of military development. He was the biggest defender of aid to Ukraine. He was very much in favor of sanctions on Russia and Iran, Very pro Israel, very pro Saudi. He was very active in debates around NATO. He thought it was important that America remain the global hegemon. He in the 1990s was very active in the impeachment of Bill Clinton, who was vocally critical of President Trump in 2016 and then later became a close partner with President Trump. He had some serious legislative accomplishments on issues ranging from law enforcement to the economy. He was very hawkish on border security. And of course, he was very much known as one of the most congenial members of the United States Senate. Already coming up, we'll get into everything about Lindsey Graham again, one of the great senators, truly one of the great senators. But you may have noticed that we had a really, really busy weekend. Like a busy weekend, meaning that my wife had a baby over the weekend, which is awesome. It also means that the sleep quotient is going down radically. Like not a lot of sleep happening in our house. That means when we get on our mattress, we need to sleep. It is very important. I hope my wife is napping right now on our Helix sleep mattress. It's very hot, by the way, in Florida, like this time of year, it really sucks. It's really hot. It's really humid.

Lindsey Graham

Christmas Day. Bomber, where are you at on Christmas Day?

Ben Shapiro

Senator Graham, that is an undecided legal issue which the. Well, I suppose I should ask exactly what you mean by that. I'm assuming that the question you mean is whether a person who was apprehended in the United States is. No, I just asked you where you're at on Christmas. You know, like all Jews. I was probably at a Chinese restaurant.

Lindsey Graham

Great.

Ro Khanna

At.

Ben Shapiro

Yeah. Again, pretty much everybody in the Senate got along with Graham. Here was 2015 when everybody thought that Joe Biden was going to be retiring from politics. Unfortunately for everyone, he didn't. But here was Lindsey Graham back in 2015.

Lindsey Graham

I called him after Beau died, and he basically said, well, Beau was my soul. We've taught for a long time. He came to my ceremony and said some of the most incredibly heartfelt things that anybody could ever say to me. And he's the nicest person I think I've ever met in politics.

Ben Shapiro

Is that right?

Lindsey Graham

He is as good a man as God ever created. And we don't agree on much, but I think he's been dealt a really good blow. I think he focuses on what he's got to do, not what he lost. His heart's been ripped out, but he's gonna make sure that the other members of his family's well taken care of. And he started talking about his grandkids, more worried about them than anything.

Ben Shapiro

Now, again, there were senators on the other side of the aisle who paid tribute to Lindsey Graham, despite disagreeing with him routinely. Al Franken was one of those people who paid tribute to him on X. But this does not mean that Lindsey Graham was not a fighter. Most famously, he started to be called Lindsey Graham 2.0, because during the Trump era, Lindsey Graham went from being one of the more conciliatory members of Congress, very often part of John McCain's Gang of Eight and all this kind of thing, to one of the more contentious members of Congress fighting against the radical left. Here was Lindsey Graham going very hard. As you recall, at the nomination confirmation hearing for Justice Brett Kavanaugh, there had been a bunch of scurrilous attacks on Kavanaugh's character, a bunch of completely unevidenced allegations about Kavanaugh and sexual impropriety back when he was a teenager. And here was Lindsey Graham going extremely hard.

Brett Kavanaugh

The one thing I can tell you you should be proud of, Ashley, you should be proud of this, that you raised a daughter who had the good

Ben Shapiro

character to pray for.

Brett Kavanaugh

Dr. Ford to my Republican colleagues, if you vote no, you're legitimizing the most despicable thing I have seen in my time. In politics. You want this seat, I hope you never get it. I hope you're on the Supreme Court. That's exactly where you should be. And I hope that the American people will see through this charade.

Ben Shapiro

And back in 2018, same year Lindsey Graham 2.0, he famously said on Sienna, and they were, they were ripping into him about working with President Trump, and he said, well, I don't really, I don't really care

Lindsey Graham

if you don't like me working with President Trump to make the world a better place. I don't give a shit.

Ben Shapiro

Back in 2025, Graham spoke at the Republican Jewish Coalition and he talked about the threat from the so called new Right. Here's what he had to say, but

Brett Kavanaugh

I just want to make it really clear. I'm in the Hitler sucks wing of the Republican Party. What is this Hitler?

Lindsey Graham

I don't know.

Brett Kavanaugh

Anyway, here's what I do know. You can sit in a basement with weird people and say weird things. It's a free country, right? But if you ever run for office as a Republican and you embrace this weird shit, we're gonna beat your brains out.

Ben Shapiro

Graham was in Kiev about 24 hours before his death where he was talking about something significantly more serious. He was talking about bipartisan toughening of sanctions on Russia and he was stalwart in favor of backing the Russians down in Ukraine. Here was Senator Graham about 24 hours before his untimely death.

Brett Kavanaugh

We've reached agreement with the White House on a version of the Russian sanctions bill that they will support. It means it's going to become law. So when I get back to Washington, I'm going to go with Senator Blumenthal to the Republican, the Democratic leader, to see if we can find time to move this Russian sanctions package that would give tools to President Trump to help end this war. I think we've got the best chance since I've been coming here in the last five years to get Putin to

Ben Shapiro

the peace table again. It was because Graham died so suddenly that people had conspiracy theories about his death. In fact, Axios reported that just before Graham died, he had complained that he was feeling unwell. He had talked with President Trump earlier in the evening. Somebody urged him to seek medical attention, and he said that he would do so after he appeared on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday. And then he said, I can't die now. I still need to do the Russian sanctions, get Iran sorted out to Israeli Saudi normalization. So again, the man had priorities on his mind. The Daily Wire has been Dominic put out A really nice tweet talking about what Graham was like interpersonally. He said, I called Lindsey Graham a dangerously insane neocon, and the next time we saw each other, he hugged me and said, everybody's got an opinion. Well, the tributes came in from those who don't hate America, actually, over the weekend, President Trump had this to say about the. About his friend Lindsey Graham.

Donald Trump

I got a message about one o' clock in the morning from one of the people at his office that he had passed away. I said, you got. I just can't believe it. He was like a member of the family to me. It's very tough, actually.

Ben Shapiro

It's amazing, Mr. President.

Donald Trump

He was such an advocate. He was, you know, if he wanted to get something and, you know, he had a unique ability. He was able to deal with Democrats and Republicans. If I had a problem, a real problem, I wouldn't often ask, but if I had a problem with a Democrat, he could work it out. He was a great. He was a great politician, actually.

Ben Shapiro

And again, Senator Cory Booker, who's on the left, obviously was complimentary of Senator Graham.

Cory Booker

One of the White House negotiators during that first negotiation told me that Lindsey Graham was like an unguided missile, that God, he never knew which way he was going to go, whether he would come back and hit you. But when he. He was aligned, when he would be in the right place at the right time, man, he could get things done that other people couldn't and bring a lot of light and new possibilities to the efforts. I am stunned at Lindsey Graham's death, but I pray that he is reunited with his friend John McCain, that they both are experiencing God's love, grace, mercy and forgiveness. My prayers are with his family and all those who loved and cherished him. I will miss my perhaps most unexpected friend in the Senate and someone with whom I got some good things done.

Ben Shapiro

Stephen Miller, who is a top advisor to the president, put out a series of tweets praising Senator Graham.

Cory Booker

Is.

Ben Shapiro

At the end of a particularly thrilling and rollicking meeting in the Oval Office, Lindsey Graham turned to the room and said, I've never had this much fun in my life. I cannot describe to you how much joy President Trump's leadership and friendship brought to Lindsey. Meetings with Graham at the White House were filled with camaraderie, kinship, and uproarious laughter. As heartbreaking as his sudden, sudden passing is, I hope it will bring some measure of comfort to those who cherished him to know just how much he was living his dream. Every Day, very rarely in life do you get to be exactly where you want to be, when you want to be there with who you want to be with, doing precisely what you want to do. That was every moment for Lindsay, and I think that that is true. So the Senate seat in South Carolina will now be up for a special election. In the interim, the President recommended that Senator Graham's sister Darlene, who again, he cared for from the time that she was a child and his parents died early, will be replacing her. Darlene had this to say about her brother. I want to thank the governor for selecting me to serve the remainder of Lindsay's term. It is such an honor. Lindsay has always been there for me, and now I will be there for him. The South Carolina governor, Henry McMaster, appointed Darlene to the open senatorial seat held by her brother. It is yet to be announced whether she's going to stand for election in the fall. I assume that you will.

Darlene Graham

Lindsey took care of his little sister in years long departed. It's my honor to ask his little sister, Darlene Graham, to finish his work for him now. And by the way, Darlene, I don't know if I told you, but after we spoke on the phone in the wee hours of Sunday morning and you agreed to serve through tears earlier, I had wondered what you would say, and I was humbled by your quickness to see the duty that you had to serve. And I called the President afterwards, and he thought it was a great idea. And I'm sure you that everyone here does as well.

Ben Shapiro

Senator Graham was one of the good ones. He will be missed. Obviously, Senator Graham's ideology was, at core, extraordinarily pro America American exceptionalism. And that is why he believed that America should in fact, be the great global power that it is. That was key to him. And it's also, again, why that horseshoe activated against him. Now, speaking of the horseshoe, the echo chamber of evil activating against him, there are people on behalf of whom it also activates not just against people, but in favor of people. One of those people is an obscure Congressman named R.O. connor. All right, coming up, the Democrats, well, they lie about a lot of stuff, and they have the help of the echo chamber of evil to push their propaganda. First, as I've mentioned a couple of times, we had a very busy week and very, very busy weekend. We had a baby. But here's the thing. We knew our baby well before he was born. And guess what? Same baby, inside out. We keep saying this to each other. My wife and I kept turning to Each other over the weekend went in like 1am she got induced and. And by 5, 25 or so, the baby was born. And we kept turning to each other and thinking to ourselves, you know, 24 hours ago, that baby was still inside your body and now the baby is out here and we're holding that same baby before and after. Which is why preborn is so important, because people don't really understand this even at an intellectual level unless you see an ultrasound. And this is what preborn does. At Preborn Network clinics, mothers facing unexpected pregnancies receive compassion, practical support, and that free ultrasound. When a mom sees her baby and hears that tiny heartbeat for the first time, her baby is twice as likely to be given the gift of life. Every one of those children represents a future that otherwise might never exist. Future family, future teacher, future pastor, future entrepreneur, a future first responder. This year, as America celebrates 250 years, let's invest in the generations still to come. Just 28 bucks provides one life saving ultrasound. And in honor of America's 250th birthday, we're asking friends to prayerfully consider a special gift of 250 bucks to help save even more lives. Donate to Alpine250 say keyword baby. That's pound 250 baby. Or give securely@preborn.com Shapiro Every gift is tax deductible. Ro Khanna represents Silicon Valley in California. He's worth some hundreds of millions of dollars, but cosplays as a, as a Cartier communist, as a limousine socialist essentially. Well, he also understands that he needs a few photo ops and so he just generated one over the weekend. He understands that on the far left, the way that you differentiate yourself from the mainstream Democrats is, is to be as radically anti Israel and propagandistic about it as humanly possible. And so Ro Khanna decided that what he was going to do is he was going to fly over to Israel, not coordinate his visit in any way with the American embassy in Israel or with Israeli security. And then he was essentially going to generate a fake controversy. So that's precisely what he did over the weekend. Actually on Friday he put out a tweet saying Israeli settlers brandishing American made M4s detained me and other Americans on my trip to Palestine. So obviously Palestine doesn't exist. He means the Palestinian Authority governed areas of the so called West Bank. The west bank is the kind of left wing, Jordanian, Arab and UN name for Judea and Samaria, which is the area of Israel that exists actually in Israel's east in Any case, he says, when the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers and continued our detention. They made a huge mistake. You'll be hearing more soon. Well, as it turns out, pretty much all of this is a lie. It is not true. The New York Times ran with it wholesale. I felt powerless in that situation, which is not an easy thing as I have a lot of privilege in life, said Mr. Khanna, who's eventually allowed to continue his journey after calls to the US Embassy and Israeli police. Imagine how people feel every day, Palestinians under the occupation if they can make an American congressperson feel powerless for 90 minutes. Khanna said what he observed in the west bank would inform his politics and perhaps his run for president. If he mounted a campaign, Palestinian rights would be a key focus, he said. You have to understand that the way that it works in the Democratic Party, if you want to separate off from, say, Jon Ossoff or from Josh Shapiro or from any of the other mainstream Democrats who aren't overtly anti Israel, this is a great way to do it. You go there, you manufacture a nonsense photo op, and I'll explain in a second why this is a nonsense photo op completely made up out of whole cloth, and then you have the entire media run with it. And then you make yourself the face of the fight against Israeli apartheid or some such bull. This is the way that the Ro Khanna is operating. And let's be clear about this. Ro Khanna is a giant dork, ok? Ro Khanna is going nowhere in the presidential race. He will never be president. He's a ridiculous human. He is a click whore beyond belief. I mean, the man will, if a red light goes on anywhere in America, he will run in front of it. You turn off your microwave at night and he suddenly appears. He has red light camera syndrome like no one else. So again, his idea here was go there, create a photo op and then pretend that he's learning something. Quote, I have something unique to offer about the injustices of Palestinians. He said, I'm going to go to every corner of America regardless of whether I run or not, and tell their stories and tell the story of what is happening in the West Bank. He said, in Palestine, I first felt as someone who was brown, we really saw the apartheid like conditions, the inequality. And then he warned the Israelis, quote, free advice to the Israelis, it's not a good idea to detain long shot presidential candidates. Not how you're going to build goodwill with the next American president, whoever that is. Well, I mean, how dare you offend Ro Khanna. How dare you offend a random congressperson from California desperate for attention and who may or may not use his position in Congress to take particular trading positions that are wildly beneficial to his portfolio? The Ambassador to the United States from Israel, Ambassador Yikiel Leiter, put out a tweet describing what actually happened. Quote, Congressman Ro Khanna was offered to coordinate his visit with the State of Israel. This goes beyond notifying of his presence in the country. He was offered in depth coordination of his schedule to avoid misunderstandings, and he chose to ignore that offer. He also chose not to coordinate his visit with the US Embassy in Jerusalem. He chose to conduct his visit accompanied by Palestinian activists and for some reason, New York Times journalists with cameras at the ready. By the way, the New York Times photographer is a radical Palestinian propagandist. With him was also a person affiliated with J Street, an organization that actively lobbies against the government of Israel on Capitol Hill. J Street is an organization essentially set up by allies of the Obama administration to form a phalanx of anti Israel Jews and pretend that that's representative of the Jewish pro Israel population in the United states. Later continues. Mr. Khanna and his entourage entered a closed military zone without permission. The military had no prior knowledge of him going there due to his refusal to coordinate with them. The vehicle they stopped was unknown to them and therefore provoked suspicion. The moment details of the Congressman's identity were cleared, he was free to go. At no point was the Congressman or any other member of his party threatened by the soldiers or civilians bearing arms. To add insult to injury, the Congressman used this instance as an opportunity to tout genocide and apartheid libels to the press, propelling himself to the center of yet another anti Israel media frenzy. The facts don't lie. This is a cheap, anticipated provocation that could and should have been avoided. And then he offered Congressman Khanna the opportunity to speak directly, which of course, Kana is not going to do. Now it turns out that Khanna was lying. What actually happened is that Kana went to, again, a closed military zone or a zone that had been recently closed to the military. So it's the same thing as if you wanted to go into an ICE facility and you just decided to drive into the ICE facility without coordinating with ice, and then you were stopped and held momentarily while they figured it out. That's what actually happened. And that's, by the way, what the actual tape shows. Does this look like a dangerous detention to you? What actually happened is that Ro Khanna left with his group, the Paved Roads in Israel and went into an area and an unpaved road that is directed toward this closed military zone. And local security forces, not civilians, local security forces stopped him and then called the cops. Because, as you may know, in Israel there's a very, very long record of Palestinians driving into Jewish areas and killing people. This is a thing that happens pretty regularly over there, actually. And so you can't just trust that people who are driving into closed military areas are nice, decent American congress people. Here's the actual video of the incident, which actually cuts directly counter to what kind of claims happen. You can see there are a series of cars there. You can see local security officials. The person says, we've spoken with. Who's the patrol commander here? Hi. We spoke with the police and they said, just move them so we can leave. Person says, with the police are on their way, they'll tell us what to do. Persons. But I've just spoken to the police officer on the phone. Person has let the police come here, say, but who's going to be late? So can you contact the operations room and deal with this? Because we've already spoken to them. There's a member of Congress here who spoke with. And who are you? I'm Nadav. Hi. You're Nadav from Breaking the Silence. Yes. There's a member of Congress here. He spoke with the embassy. The embassy is involved in this. So I do not understand what's happening here. You can get these guys out of here. You're not allowed to be here. It kind of sounds like you're taking orders from them, meaning the local security, which you call settlers. They're not settlers. They're local security. I see. So you're choosing not to help in this situation. You're choosing not to help in the situation. That's the thing. He said, at no point were they arrested, at no point were they detained. They literally said, why don't we wait for the cops to get here? And I'm sorry, like, I'm unclear. If somebody approaches local security and says, hey, I called the police and I cleared with them. Let us through. Is there any local police force, any local security force on planet earth that would go, oh, you talk to the cops. Okay, fine. Would that happen in America? You want to go into a closed American military zone? You drive up, the military cops stop you and say, hey, I coordinated this already, let me through. Ok, sure, no problem. Again, what happened is they called the police, the police showed up, the IDF showed up. They realized that Khanna was there. Khanna had not, in fact, coordinated this with either the Israeli embassy or the American Embassy, as Mike Huckabee made clear. And then they let him through. In fact, Ro Khanna was corrected on this on Fox by Gillian Turner.

Ro Khanna

The only reason our lives are saved is because of the excellent work of the American Embassy. David Brownstein, who you who also can talk about this, had first told us, just don't engage with these violent settlers. And we tell them you're on with the American Embassy. They didn't care. They said, who cares? Cares that you're American. We don't care that someone's in Congress or a government official. He said to say that to the idf, they didn't care. They were taking the side of the settlers who were detaining and threatening Americans over the Israelis.

Ben Shapiro

Sir, say it was IDF officials coordinating with local security on the ground there. Here's just part of the statement. Let me read part of this statement, sir, from the idf. Troops were dispatched to the scene, quickly dispersed the Israeli civilians and reopened the blocked road. The IDF soldiers operating in the area did not take part in blocking the road.

Ro Khanna

People. People should look at the video.

Ben Shapiro

Yeah. What the video shows. Again, local. Does anyone look threatened there? Does it look as though anyone was being arrested or detained? It looks as though the road is closed. And then the cops show up and they say, okay, he's a congressperson, we'll let him through anyway. By the way, Kana admits full scale that he went to the west bank without any coordination with the Israeli government. If you go to places without the government knowing about it and then they don't know who you are, you can't then claim they know who you are and you should be allowed to go wherever you want to go without any delay. What's again, they allowed him to go where he wanted to go in the end. In other words, this is all bull and he manufactured it out of whole cloth. Because this is the shtick. Manufacture this out of whole cloth. Now, I do wish to point out that let's say that this had gone the other way. Let's reverse the polarity here. Let's say that some American congressperson did not coordinate with either the Israelis or the Palestinian Authority and just decided to drive into Ramallah. Let's just say that this were like a random person who decided to drive into Ramallah. You know what would happen? Not a delay by local security. Not a delay by local security. You would likely end up shot, at the very least beaten. We know this because it happens fairly regularly, actually. In fact, there are giant red signs that are posted on the roads in the west bank, the so called West Bank, Judea and Samaria that say if you go into this Palestinian area, you are no longer under the protection of the Israeli government and you could be murdered. These signs are there, okay? I've seen them myself many times. Quote, this road leads to area A under the Palestinian Authority. The entrance for Israeli citizens is forbidden, dangerous to your lives and is against Israeli law. You want to talk about like an actual apartheid area. If a Palestinian goes to Israel legally and guessing, they can travel wherever they want in Israel. In fact, they're Israeli Arabs who do it every single day. Walk around Jerusalem. There are Arabs all over the place and that's fine. There are entire cities that are mixed population cities in Israel. 20% of the Israeli population is Israeli Arab. How many Jews live in the Palestinian Authority areas? The answer is zero, because Vu went in there. That Jew would be killed in 2023. In fact, German tourists accidentally drove through central Nablus, which is a city in the west bank, and they were nearly beaten to death. Quote, they told me if they meet a Jew on the street, they want to kill him just like this. And I think it's a big problem. They have so much hate in their education. A spokesperson for the Palestinian Authority at that time said the attackers had feared the tourists had been Israeli forces, so they just started trying to murder them. Now again, the horseshoe immediately came together around Ro Khanna. This pathetic dweeb. Tucker Carlson, of course, could not wait because Tucker Carlson hates Israel and so fond of the kinds of people who live in Israel. Hummus eater, so to speak. Tucker Carlson said an American member of Congress is threatened by foreign terrorists carrying American rifles. He has no evidence for this. Backed by a foreign military paid for by American taxpayers. And the US Ambassador to that country says not a word in defense of his own countrymen and instead uses his social media accounts to promote his own vapid cable news appearances which amount to propaganda for that same country. I mean, Tucker Carlson should talk about foreign propaganda considering that his videos routinely appear on both Iranian TV and Russian tv. It's too much, too insulting and humiliating to America, says Tucker Carlson. This is how revolutions start. Really? Do revolutions start in America because a far left wing American congressman creates an AOC at the ICE facility like op and then that's exposed and the person is stopped for 90 minutes and then let go. Is that, is that, is that really how revolutions start? Tucker Carlson from his mansion in Maine or maybe his mansion in Florida, for the sake of the nation, says Tucker Carlson. Mike Huckabee should be removed from his post immediately. And then of course you have Anakas Varian saying to a congressman scum like you forces to bankroll these terrorists. You're far more of a problem to your own country and a traitorous disgrace. And Shank Uyghur saying Israeli settlers act like they're the boss of us. Worst part of how Israeli settlers in IDF detained Ro Khanna was when they laughed at the idea they were insulting and endangering a U.S. representative. They were sure there would be no consequences. What do you mean insulting? And Shank Uyghur like this foreigner who came to American chores routinely insults American representatives like this is what he does for a living. And again, were they supposed to? My favorite thing about this is where Ro Khanna, who if Ro Khanna walked down a normal street in America, he's identified as 0 out of 1 million times. No one knows who Ro Khanna is. Ro Khanna trying to play the don't you know who I am card abroad in the middle of Judea and Samaria, the west bank is ridiculous on its face. It's ridiculous. And by the way, you want to know why the authorities there were a little bit concerned about the the people who were coming up and talking to them? Because the group that the person mentioned you is from is a far left wing NGO funded in large part by Europeans who hate the state of Israel. That's why. So again, why am I focusing on this? I'm only focusing on this because again, this turned into another one of these big hot stories that turns out to be rooted in nothing. But it is the horseshoe that matters. And the horseshoe always activates around the worst people and against many of the people who ought to actually be praised, like Senator Graham. Okay? This has consequences for American foreign policy. So over the weekend, things got hot in Iran again, as of course they were going to. Because Iran was never, ever, as I explained many, many times, Iran was never going to give up control over the Strait of Hormuz. They were not going to do it because if they did, it would demonstrate weakness. And if they demonstrated they did not control the Strait and they had no forward capacity and no nuke, that makes the regime insanely vulnerable. So they were never going to just give up the strait. So CENTCOM began strikes again over the weekend. CENTCOM announced on Saturday night at 7:15pm Eastern today, U.S. cENTCOM forces began launching the third round of strikes this week against Iran after Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces blatantly attacked MVGFS Galaxy, a Cyprus Flagged container ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz. A civilian crew member is missing. The vessel is unable to continue the journey due to an onboard fire and significant engine room damage. Iran was provided yet another opportunity to demonstrate adherence to the MoU after being held accountable for earlier attacks on commercial vessels, but has again failed. In response, the US Is imposing a heavy cost by continuing to degrade Iran's ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial ships freely transiting the straits. The strikes are being carried out at the direction of the Commander in Chief. CENTCOM did release footage of its first use, I believe, of unmanned sea drones attacking the Bandar Abbas naval base. This is a naval base that is located along the north shore of the Strait of Hormuz. You can see these. These unmanned boats that are approaching the port. And again, they're. They're essentially one way suicide explosives that are directed against Iranian assets. You see blowing up the port there, blowing up the dock. CENTCOM announced a third night of strikes on Monday night as well. Now, the President put out his own statement. He said, quote, the Hormuz Strait is open and will remain open with or without Iran. We are reinstating the Iranian blockade, so named, because it is only stopping Iran's ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the strait. The USA will be, from this point forward, known as the guardian of the Hormuz Strait. But as such, and as a matter of fairness, they will be reimbursed at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the world. The process and formation will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Trump. Now, as far as the toll here, the 20% toll, I'm not a huge fan of the 20% toll simply because, again, this is an international waterway. I understand that we are absorbing the cost of keeping it open, but it is also in America's interest to keep the waterways open. And if we start charging tolls, then that creates impetus for other countries to also try to charge tolls. So not a huge fan of the toll. With that said, should we be reimbursed in other forms by other countries? Sure. Should they contribute their part to keeping the strait open? If it's an international waterway, the answer is absolutely. And whether you choose to do that through a toll, which, again, not loving the toll, or whether you choose to do that by negotiating better trade deals, whether you choose to negotiate that by forcing other countries to increase their spend on their own defense mechanisms against America's enemies. That's fine. Again, the Iranians jumped right in and they said, oh, well, you know, if the President's going to charge toll, so should we. Iran has always been the guardian of the straits, will remain so forever. 20% is, of course, too much. We will be fair. So again, they want to control the strait, they want to charge their own tolls. President Trump says, listen, we had a deal. They broke the deal. Iran is now getting their ass kicked.

Donald Trump

We had a deal. It was a done deal and then they broke it. They always break it. We've had 10 deals with these people. And so we're just going to hit them very hard and we're going to keep the strait and we'll probably run it. We'll become the guardian of the strait. Maybe we'll call it the guardian angel of the strait. Remember this, they killed 52,000 protesters so far. As of this moment, the number is 52,000. So who's going to protest? And a lot of people are surprised about the protesting, you know, that they haven't. But nobody's going to protest when they get shot. They have AK47, they have machine guns aimed at people's heads. If you move one foot further, you get shot, and then they'll shot. They'll shoot 10 of them and everybody flees. Who's not going to flee? They don't have guns. So they're a bad group of people. Let me just tell you that I don't say that often and I have to live with that statement. They're a bad group of people. They've been this way for a long time, and right now they're getting their ass kicked.

Ben Shapiro

Now, again, the President has a habit of trying things, and then when reality says differently, then he changes his mind. That obviously has happened with the Iranians. He says the MOU is a test and they failed. What was the MOU that your negotiators brought back? Was that side saddle mou, Was that built to fall apart?

Donald Trump

It was built to test. It was a test. We didn't know. It didn't. Look, Memorandum of understanding when you're dealing with sleazebags don't mean much. And they don't mean much when you're dealing with honorable people, too. Because it's a memorandum of understanding. It doesn't mean much. Much. And I said, why are we even. You know, it's a standard tactic in the US that you go to a memorandum of understanding and then you go to the deal. I said, just go to the deal first. But you know what? It was sort of a test, and they weren't there. They didn't honor the test. We had it. We had this deal settled numerous times. I said, watch. I guarantee, watch. And they never. They never followed it.

Ben Shapiro

Okay, so again, the President taking the realistic position. So what can happen here? Well, theoretically, the United States can force open the strait. Apparently, we already have, in part. There are a lot of ships that are leaving the strait and that Iran is not actually tolling at this point. We should be using the Saudi bases in order to do so. I assume that that's actually the trade that was made. So the Saudis over the weekend also hit Houthi bases in Yemen. The Biden administration position had been idiotically that the Saudis should stop intervening in Yemen to fight the Houthis, who again, are a group whose literal slogan is death to Israel, death to America. And so the Saudis went to America, apparently asked for permission to hit Houthi bases. We said yes. I assume that came in return for us being able to use Saudi bases, our bases in Saudi, in order to strike at the strait, which of course is also in Saudi Arabia's interest. If we force open the strait, I still believe we should either bomb or take Kharg Island. We should bomb South Parr's gas field. We should completely destroy the possibility of economic recovery under the current regime. That's what we should do. And we should put them on their last legs because otherwise, again, they'll just keep tapping us along. Now, again, all the worst people, as I say, the horseshoe is very much in favor of Iran. This, of course, includes Trita Parsi. Trita Parsi is a. Is a Tucker Carlson wing of the Republican Party fan, also a de facto lobbyist for the Iranian government. Trita Parsi, who was labeled Ro Khanna. Hilariously, on Hasan Piker's Twitch stream, he appeared with Hasan Piker. Again, they're all the same thing. It's all circle jerk. Here's Trita Parsi with Hasan Piker ripping on Lindsey Graham.

Trita Parsi

Look, to me, Graham was essentially a dying breed of hawkish Republicans who thought that there always was a military solution to whatever problem or non problem that existed in the world and drove the United States in an absolutely terrible direction. And at every moment, there was this effort to sabotage diplomacy from his end, belittle it, and shift things back towards some sort of a muscular military centric approach, which I think is ultimately has been disastrous for the world, but also very, very Disastrous for the United States itself.

Ben Shapiro

Again, Trita Parsi, the uniting factor between Hasan Piker and Tucker Carlson, and of course, true to Parsi's entire perspective, is that Iran is the victim in all of this. And actually the only way to get them back on board is for the United States to make outsized concessions to the Iranians. And this entire group of people believe the same thing. And that is that America is the bad force in the world. All the fans of American power are the bad force in the world. That is the entire shtick. That is the entire shtick, now and forever. I don't know. I kind of like America and think America ought to be more powerful because its rivals are some of the most evil places on planet Earth. And if you are, if you are sitting there with the Chinese flag in the background talking with an Iranian cutout about how Iran needs to be treated with kid gloves, I don't know, maybe, maybe, maybe that's a sign we should not be listening to you. Alrighty. In other radical leftist news, people are going crazy over a shooting that happened up in Maine. According to CBS News, the Department of Homeland Security says that a man who was in the country illegally attempted to flee the scene when Ice tried to stop him. Around 7am Eastern time over the weekend. And fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon. This person later died from the injuries. Apparently ICE agents encountered the man while conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal. So apparently he was a 26 year old from Columbia. Apparently the senator from Maine, Angus Kang, is an independent who coxes with the Democrats said the person who was killed was not the person they were seeking. The agents were not wearing body cameras at the time. The perpetrator's car apparently was trying to drive away. There were bullet holes through the windshield. So DHS is claiming that this person had weaponized his car. You can see the bullet holes through the windshield. Very reminiscent of the death of Renee.

Donald Trump

Good.

Ben Shapiro

Protesters immediately gathered in Maine and then they tried to break into Susan Collins's office. There will be an attempt to weaponize this particular terrible situation, to attack Susan Collins and suggest that she, of course, is the problem. You guys gonna go arrest the killer or not? Are you guys gonna go arrest the murderer down the street, like under your jobs? This is private property.

Donald Trump

Yeah.

Ben Shapiro

Is this private property? Is that a public forum? Okay, so again, you can see these delightful people. They're going to try to make the case that Susan Collins needs to go because of what happened with ice. The Democrats increasingly keep embracing radical policy positions. Senator Ruben Gallego, who for some odd reason is friends with every sex offender in the. In the Senate candidate pool. He was apparently defending Graham Platner, but also he was a good friend of Eric Swalwell. No idea that Eric Swalwell was a derelict. In any case, Senator Ruben Gallego, he confirmed with Mehdi Hassan that he wants to abolish ice, but he won't say the words abolish ICE because he likes winning. What we know of ICE cannot exist anymore. You can have immigration enforcement. You can do it in a professionalized manner, not in the type of, you know, exploited manner that you see right now.

Ro Khanna

But you don't want to say abolish ICE because of the.

Ben Shapiro

You think that sends a bad message? Yeah, because I want to win elections fair.

Ro Khanna

I mean, you are.

Darlene Graham

But.

Ben Shapiro

But in terms of English language, you are calling for the abolition of ICE and replacing it with something else.

Cory Booker

Better.

Ben Shapiro

Yeah, replacing still with something else. That's immigration enforcement. Okay, so again, this is what the Democrats have become. They're as radical as radical can be. Okay. In cultural news. In cultural news. I do want to get to this kind of amazing clip of Miley Cyrus that has been making the rounds. So Miley Cyrus appeared on a podcast recently in which she discussed her trouble dating life because she says that she's been having trouble finding nice guys because she spent enormous swathes of her life naked publicly. Here she was with Monica Lewinsky discussing.

Miley Cyrus

I kept dressing or acting a certain way. My relationships fell apart. No one wanted to date me because they didn't want to be with a woman. That sexual expression part was not for them. It was like shared with the world. So, like, guys, when I would try to date when I was dating or who I was engaged at the time, that didn't work out because I. I was sharing a part of myself that men wanted to be saved for them only. And the fact that I would, you know, pose nude or dance in very little clothes or show my body was making them feel like I was taking something away that was meant to be for them.

Ben Shapiro

I mean, because your nudity is supposed to be for your spouse. Is that what we're talking about here? I mean, what, what I noticed is that it's not just whenever celebrities say that they're just getting nude as a form of self expression, as just a form of self expression. I have a question. How often are they just walking around their house nude, like by themselves, or are they just wearing PJs like a normal person? Like, as. As a normal part of self expression. You just, like, walk around nude in your back. Like when you go to the grocery store, do you go. Do you walk nude to the grocery store as a form of self expression? You know, like, just walking around in public nude? Were there no cameras? Were there no fame? Were there no money? Would you be walking around as a form of, you know, just knowing yourself? Would you be walking around naked? The answer for Miley Cyrus is undoubtedly no, because we have lots of pictures of Miley Cyrus, like, walking around in public going to the grocery store, and it turns out she's not dressed like she was in Wrecking Ball when she goes to the grocery store. Also, by the way, why we have indecent exposure laws in this country. So what you're really doing is you're performing for money. I mean, let's be clear. You're performing for money. And. And the people who are providing you that money. Sure, there are a lot of women, but there are also a lot of horny men who are watching you be nude. And so is it weird that maybe your boyfriend or your husband would not want that because they think that that's something special? Are there any parts. I mean, it's really a question. Are there any parts of marriage that are supposed to be special between you and your spouse? Traditional marriage makes it pretty obvious the answer there is yes, but modern feminism says no. You being nude with your husband is apparently of no consequence as a matter of exclusivity, which is strange. And we're supposed to pretend that it's not human nature to be resentful of that. Now, let's be also fairly clear about the evolutionary biology here. One of the reasons that men seek sexual exclusivity from women is because, just evolutionarily speaking, a woman can always be sure that a child that she bears is hers. But a man can only be sure that a child that is born to him is his if the woman is exclusive to him. This is just normal biology. That's the way it works. If a woman sleeps with 10 men in a short span, you can't tell who the daddy is. Historically speaking, paternity tests are a relatively recent invention. And so, just in terms of the evolution of the brain, the idea that men would be perfectly fine with a woman, quote, unquote, sharing her sexuality with lots of other people, it's not weird for men to say, hey, maybe that should be exclusive to us. Why Miley Cyrus finds that strange or weird or inhibiting in any way is beyond me. But maybe Young women should take her advice to heart. Maybe it turns out that actually one of the things that men find attractive is you keeping your sexual nature for the man that you love and wish to form a family with. Maybe you'll have a happier life if in fact you share yourself with only your spouse. I know crazy thoughts, just crazy. By the way, I believe as a matter of morality that men ought to do the same with women. And I've lived this in my life. My wife and I are 18 years married now with five children. We're both virgins going into our marriage. I know that this is supposed to be emblematic of some sort of shame at this point. I remember people used to make fun of me when I would talk of this before I was married, that I intended on being a virgin until I was married. I thought it was important to talk about that when I was 17, 18, 21, because again, that is a moral precept that is good for the world to live. Well, I can tell you this, the counter factual in which you are not that when you don't emulate that, when you don't promote that idea, it actually makes for significantly worse relationships. And the fact that Miley Cyrus sounds like she was unhappy with her dating life for years because of this. Again, not a gigantic shock. Because you can either choose to make a happy life with one person that you love and build a family with that person, or you can choose all of these disproved theories of how the world ought to work in your strange alternative universe in which human biology does not exist and the human brain is basically a free floating entity with no evolutionary drives. But I, I do love it when sort of left wing nostrums meet reality and it turns out that reality makes you unhappy if you follow the left wing way of viewing things. Okay, so before we get to the membership portion of the show where we'll get to the DSA and we'll get to Zoran Mamdani and get to all of that. You know, I do. I would be remiss if I did not share what is maybe the funniest clip in the history of the Internet. Now both of the people in this clip are just scum. The worst people in America. Truly terrible people. Alex Jones, conspiracy theorist par excellence, professional liar, a person who has been sued for a billion dollars for claiming that the children who were murdered at Sandy Hook were child actors and all the rest of it. And Sneako, a recently converted Muslim who's a nut job. Streamer. And watching these two nutty people out Nuts. Each other, I have to say, is hilarious. It is indeed hilarious. Alex Jones gets the better of this exchange by far. Alex is. You can't out nuts Alex Jones. As it turns out, he does it on purpose here. And watching as Sneako, who is himself a disgusting specimen, be out crazied by Alex Jones on purpose. This may be one of the great clips in the history of the Internet. So Sneako was with Alex Jones on his stream and Sneako starts doing the Islam must take over America routine, which he's been doing a lot recently. He goes into the streets of New York and talks about how, inshallah, everyone will be a Muslim and all of this. And he's trying to sort of, I suppose, create a sort of perception of uber masculinity, despite the fact that he is a single, lonely, pathetic dude with the camera on him all the time. And Alex Jones is having none of it. And in fact decides to imitate Sneako back to his face by going even further. And just for the sake of humor, this must be played. Ladies and gentlemen, the weasel from Connecticut. The mighty Mongol. The amazing, all powerful sneaky Allahu ak. I don't even have a brain. So what makes you think you can deport me? So what makes you think you can deport me? If Sean Strickland can't knock me down, huh? You can't stop me.

Ro Khanna

I'm coming.

Ben Shapiro

Oh, then tell me.

Darlene Graham

Coming.

Donald Trump

I'm coming. Dirka.

Ben Shapiro

Dirka Muhammad.

Donald Trump

The slavery that we take the women as slaves.

Ben Shapiro

Inshallah and inshah, you become Abdul. Alex Jones.

Donald Trump

Take care. Sneo.

Ben Shapiro

We'll see you. Salam alikum Alex begins. Salam alikum Alex. Marry your cousin.

Donald Trump

It's so much fun.

Ben Shapiro

His name is a sneaky. A sneaky snake.

Cory Booker

Oh, snake.

Donald Trump

We love you sneaky. See you tomorrow. Watching Sneako just gets out crazy by Alex Jones said bodied he gets. He gets Islamic mogged by Sneak by Alex Jones. There, that's that. That's pretty funny stuff. I'm sorry. When he starts crossing his psycho and Sneako looks like he's looking for an exit. And Sneako is like, this is too crazy. He can't even keep up the act. Sneako, he's like, oh, no, Man. Rare W for Alex Jones right there. Rare W. Solid stuff. All right, folks, you thought the show was over, but actually it gets even crazier than that because Zormandani is mayor of New York. And it turns out, it turns out you won't. You won't believe this.
