A splinter of the powerful Turkish military attempted a coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday, and it failed. Some on the left question whether the coup was really a coup, and whether it was even a good one. Is it possible that it was just as bad as the coup against Hitler and Mussolini, and that the coup in Turkey was actually a set-up by the far-left to bring down the democratically elected government of an elected government? Ben Shapiro explains why the coup failed, and why it might have been a good thing.

00:00:00.000So last Friday, a splinter of the powerful Turkish military attempted a coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who's an Islamist with a taste for the authoritarian.
00:00:09.000Erdogan has spent the past decade purging the military of secularists, integrating his own brand of radical Islam into the government.
00:00:16.000In the process, he's also made for himself a $182 million fortune, he's built himself three palaces, including a $650 million Saddam-esque monstrosity.
00:00:26.000He's cracked down on journalists, he's gone soft on ISIS, and he's threatened to get rid of the Constitutional Court.
00:00:30.000He is, in short, an aspiring dictator.
00:00:33.000Sadly, as we all know, the coup failed.
00:01:04.000Secretary of State John Kerry blustered through his crazy face, Given the Obama administration stood by and did nothing after Syrian dictator Bashar Assad used chemical weapons on his own citizens, Erdogan probably laughed out loud at this particular missive.
00:01:25.000A columnist for The Guardian, a socialist named Owen Jones, tweeted, quote, Except, of course, that that's stupid.
00:01:35.000An attempted coup against Adolf Hitler, who became Chancellor of Germany legitimately in 1932, or against Benito Mussolini, who became Prime Minister of Italy through democratic means in 1922, would have been justified.
00:01:48.000Today, a coup against an elected government in Iran would be similarly decent as would a coup against the elected government in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
00:01:56.000For well over a century, the left has mistaken the means of democracy for democratic values.
00:02:01.000That confusion has converted republics into tyrannies.
00:02:04.000Just because people elect their dictators doesn't make the dictators legit.
00:02:07.000That's the whole point of the Constitution.
00:02:09.000There are certain rights that are inviolable, even by a majority.
00:02:13.000If a majority voted to enslave a minority, according to Jones's logic, a coup would be illegitimate.
00:02:18.000After all, that'd be overturning the popular will.
00:02:21.000Presumably, that's why he's a socialist.
00:02:23.000For him, morality follows the majority.
00:02:24.000You just vote other people's money to yourself.
00:02:27.000But morality doesn't follow the majority.
00:02:29.000Democracy and classical liberalism, they should go hand in hand, but they don't always.
00:02:33.000A people trained in classical liberalism will vote for it.
00:02:35.000A people trained in tyranny will vote for tyranny.
00:02:38.000That's what's been happening in Turkey.
00:03:07.000So first, I just want to say hello to a new sponsor.
00:03:10.000This is a great sponsor, HelixSleep.com.
00:03:13.000So, folks, if you know that it's very difficult to get a nice mattress.
00:03:16.000I sleep very poorly, I'm a light sleeper at night, and so I've had to spend a lot of money in the past to get a really nice mattress that allows me to sleep comfortably.
00:03:24.000Well, Helix.com does something unique.
00:03:28.000And then you enter in a bunch of categories about how you sleep and what you look like.
00:03:32.000Well, not your face, but mainly how you weigh and where the weight is distributed.
00:03:36.000And then they run a 3D biomechanical model of your body through algorithms they've created for themselves with ergonomic specialists and biomechanics specialists.
00:03:45.000And then they give you the most comfortable mattress you've ever slept on, and it's way cheaper.
00:03:48.000It's like a 30% improvement in quality, and it's way less expensive than it would be to go get, like, for example, a sleep number bed.
00:03:54.000The mattress arrives at your door in about a week.
00:05:15.000Everybody's kind of doing what they do at these particular conventions.
00:05:19.000Here's what Trump looked like when he celebrated clinching the nomination.
00:05:22.000He appeared via video on the big TV at the convention, because I think he's planning to be on, I think, pretty much every night.
00:05:29.000A little over one year ago, I announced my candidacy for president, and with your vote today, this stage of the presidential process has come to a close.
00:05:41.000Together we've achieved historic results with the largest vote total in the history of the Republican Party.
00:05:49.000This is a movement, but we have to go all the way.
00:05:54.000I'm so proud to be your nominee for President of the United States.
00:05:59.000I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you on Thursday night on how we build a brighter and more hopeful future for all Americans.
00:06:08.000It's an honor to run on a ticket with Governor Mike Pence, who is an incredible man and who will make a great, great Vice President.
00:06:20.000I'll be with him in Cleveland tomorrow night, and we'll be together again on Thursday night.
00:06:26.000And by the way, we are going to win the state of Ohio.
00:06:31.000And also, of course, we're going to win the presidency and bring real change and leadership back to Washington.
00:06:41.000This is going to be a leadership, by the way, that puts the American people first.
00:07:05.000There were a couple of Trumpian touches.
00:07:07.000So, for example, the president of the UFC, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Dana White, he showed up to talk for Trump, and it got a little weird for a moment.
00:07:14.000And in my opinion, you can really tell a person's true character when they're happy for somebody else's success.
00:07:44.000I've been in the fight business my whole life.
00:07:46.000And then the shot cuts to a couple of Democrats who are Donald Trump's kids, and the octagon descends, and then Chris Christie fights Newt Gingrich for a hamburger.
00:07:54.000So in any case, that was not the main import of last night.
00:07:57.000The main import of last night, and you know it went better for Trump because this was the main import of last night.
00:08:01.000The main import of last night was that the Republicans really went after Hillary hard, and there were no big distractions.
00:08:06.000So the fact that they were going after Hillary hard made the media a little bit crazy.
00:08:11.000This was the moment that drove the media out of its mind.
00:08:14.000Chris Christie put down his shine box long enough to go and actually speak at the convention and make the case that he basically should have been the VP pick, because he's a really good attack dog.
00:08:24.000And so he went there and he did his attack dog routine against Hillary, and it was very effective.
00:08:44.000Tonight, as a former federal prosecutor, I welcome the opportunity to hold Hillary Rodham Clinton accountable for her performance and her character.
00:09:20.000Okay, and it goes on like this, and then fine.
00:09:22.000Okay, so everybody's chanting, lock her up, and Chris Christie is getting ready to actually dive into the crowd, and everybody below him is very, very frightened.
00:09:29.000So, but what he's saying about Hillary, it's time to prosecute her, of course that's true, and when people chant, lock her up, that has a meaning, right?
00:09:36.000I mean, the fact that they're saying, lock her up,
00:10:31.000He does this routine, it goes on like this, right?
00:10:34.000So we don't need to play all of them, because there are a lot of guilty or not-guilties, and it was basically like the opening scene in Superman I, where you have General Zod in the dock, and all the disembodied heads going, GUILTY.
00:11:17.000I do think the lock her up chant as it's received at home to about 32% of the electorate will decide the outcome.
00:11:29.000It seems a little banana Republican to me.
00:11:32.000It's something that you're not used to hearing in this country.
00:11:34.000We don't lock up our political opponents.
00:11:37.000The rule of law matters, and it matters to Republicans, and Republicans emphasize the importance of the rule of law.
00:11:43.000We've just had an investigation of Hillary Clinton.
00:11:46.000The FBI director made his recommendations to the Department of Justice, said she has been dishonest, she's not been truthful to the American people, but there was no cause for prosecution on that.
00:11:58.000And so I think that the chant, lock her up, does not translate particularly well.
00:12:05.000Okay, so this, by the way, is Steve Schmidt, who is an advisor to the McCain campaign.
00:12:09.000So naturally, he doesn't like this because it's uncouth.
00:12:12.000It's uncouth and it's Banana Republic.
00:12:15.000What is Banana Republic is the FBI director who is appointed by the President of the United States and the Department of Justice, also appointed by the President of the United States, and they're all of the same party, right?
00:12:24.000They all are of the same party as the candidate who used to be the Secretary of State, letting her off the hook for what is obviously criminal activity.
00:13:32.000Does it overestimate how much people don't care for Hillary Clinton?
00:13:37.000The chanting was bad, but I think it will be cancelled out next week by some equally uncomfortable moment for Democrats at their convention.
00:13:43.000Okay, so the entire media say, oh my god, isn't it just so terrible?
00:13:48.000Hillary Clinton locked up a guy for making a YouTube video.
00:13:52.000Hillary Clinton promised families of people who were murdered in Benghazi that a dude who made a YouTube video that had nothing to do with anything would go to jail.
00:14:00.000The Obama administration has sought out and jailed, seriously, journalists more often than any administration since Woodrow Wilson.
00:14:08.000This idea that they're not jailing—they jailed Dinesh D'Souza for a nonsense campaign finance violation.
00:14:12.000I mean, this idea that they get to sit there and talk to us about rule of law is absurd.
00:14:17.000Of course, of course Hillary Clinton should be behind bars.
00:14:19.000And the reason people are ticked off, and the reason people are angry, is because they have every right to be angry.
00:14:23.000Because Hillary Clinton is a criminal.
00:15:13.000She's very vulnerable, especially after the Attorney General decided not to prosecute based on the FBI investigation, but there was enough in that for them to keep it up.
00:15:22.000The fact is she's been around a long time, and in that crowd, even people who don't like Trump necessarily, they can work up a big hate for Hillary.
00:15:31.000Okay, they can work up a big hate for Hillary.
00:16:09.000The anti-Hillary anger is totally, completely justified, and the media are part of it, because we look at you people in the media, in the mainstream left media, and we say, you've been lying to cover up for these people for years, for literally decades, for my entire lifetime, you've been lying to cover up for the Clintons.
00:16:56.000And we'd like for you to spend your $8 and become part of the team, and that way you can also support us, but you can also be part of the mailbag.
00:17:01.000We do the mailbag tomorrow, which is always a lot of fun, and you want to be a part of it.
00:18:12.000It reminded me of this one time when I was down in Venezuela and I saw a cockfight and I don't know why I was there or what I was doing, I was really drunk at the time, but I can explain to you that whenever the chicken was really wounded, I would just go up,
00:18:54.000I mean, yeah, the Republicans are all criminals and they should all go to jail and die, but the Democrats are blood—the Democrats, they don't deserve this treatment.
00:19:39.000And does this get to the middle-of-the-road voters saying, you know, I'm worried about my kids, but my kids and I have all kinds of issues, but none of them really relate to how much I hate Hillary.
00:20:04.000Okay, so the reason, Chris, let me explain to you why people are angry.
00:20:07.000The reason people are angry is because people like you have been dismissing the fact that Hillary Clinton is deeply corrupt for as long as some of us have been alive.
00:20:38.000Rudy Giuliani went way back, you know, to something to do with the listing posts in Eastern Europe, you know, our anti-ballistic missile systems that say that she's basically not to be trusted.
00:20:50.000They reach for things about Hillary to say, oh, she let her emails get exposed to hacking, blah, blah, blah.
00:20:57.000And then, of course, she was responsible for what happened in Benghazi because of Daryl Exaduti.
00:21:01.000But try to get them to find the fervor, to find the good in Donald Trump.
00:22:21.000So that may give you a clue as to what Jorge Ramos thinks of Donald Trump.
00:22:24.000And then he proceeds to basically grill this father, his son was murdered by an illegal immigrant, grill this father about illegal immigration.
00:22:31.000But don't you think it would be a better idea, instead of doing that, that maybe the police wouldn't be able to apply that law correctly with many immigrants who are not criminals?
00:22:40.000How about permanent immigration reform in which everyone would go through background checks?
00:23:58.000In any case, Chris Cuomo, he grills Donald Trump's campaign manager over plagiarism.
00:24:03.000He's very, very upset that Melania Trump had some paragraphs in her speech that
00:24:07.000Well, Chris, I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder, because the pattern that I see is a pattern of the media
00:24:36.000Not being prepared to look at what's really going on in America, not look at what's really happening in the Trump campaign, look at what really is being tapped into, and looking at why it's working.
00:24:47.000Because, you know, over the last ten months as you all have been pointing out things which aren't true, to say that this is going to be a problem for the Trump campaign, you've been wrong.
00:25:02.000Because you're looking at things that don't exist,
00:25:04.000You're looking at things that don't exist, and you're not focusing on the broader message that does exist, and which the American people are responding to.
00:25:10.000And last night, Donald Trump, contrary to everything you've said, was nominated President of the United States.
00:25:18.000And I don't know where you were at the beginning of this campaign, but I would love to talk to you then and say, do you think Donald Trump's going to be the nominee?
00:25:24.000I don't think it makes you crazy or jaundiced to have been surprised by it.
00:25:28.000There's also no question that you deserve a lot of credit for getting him where he was last night.
00:25:32.000You know I've said that openly and often.
00:25:34.000But I've got to go back to this other point, though, Paul.
00:26:01.000It doesn't mean that sometimes you don't tell the truth, but it means that you're always about pushing a particular political agenda that benefits the left.
00:26:07.000I mean, another example last night, Ben Carson was speaking, and I'm not a huge fan of Ben Carson's speeches.
00:26:15.000I don't find them particularly inspiring.
00:26:18.000But, you know, there are some people who really do enjoy Ben Carson.
00:27:13.000This is a nation where our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, talks about certain inalienable rights that come from our Creator.
00:27:22.000This is a nation where our Pledge of Allegiance says we are one nation under God.
00:27:31.000So the media, the media lose their mind over this.
00:27:34.000The media lose their mind because he invoked Lucifer.
00:27:36.000Okay, except that everything he said there is exactly true.
00:27:39.000He does dedicate it to Lucifer, and that does make a difference.
00:27:42.000If I were a candidate, and my favorite book, and it was her favorite book, I mean, she wrote her thesis, her senior thesis at Wellesley, she wrote on Saul Alinsky.
00:27:50.000She was regularly in contact with Saul Alinsky.
00:27:52.000She brought him to Wellesley to speak to her college class.
00:28:05.000And the problem is that what happens here is because the media are so corrupt, the media are so terrible, the media are so awful, it turns out that when somebody comes along in the Republican Party like Donald Trump, who lies on a routine basis, who doesn't tell the truth,
00:28:50.000He's also a fundraiser for Donald Trump, who used to be a fundraiser for, you guessed it, or a donor to, Hillary Clinton.
00:28:57.000So, if he's really a break from everything that came before, not so much, not so much.
00:29:02.000But, the bottom line is, that when somebody comes along and they just change what they're saying every five seconds, and the media call them on it, we're more likely to say to the media, screw you, we don't believe a word you have to say.
00:29:13.000And that's actually a benefit for the Trump campaign.
00:29:15.000It was in the primaries, and I think that it'll continue to be with a certain segment of the Republican base.
00:29:20.000All I'm saying is you don't have to believe the media, but do your own research.
00:29:23.000Figure out what's true and what's false.
00:30:02.000To me, I'm going to say what I think is true, and I'm going to say what I think is false, and I'm going to critique the candidates as objectively as I can, given the fact that I have political biases in favor or not in favor of particular policies.
00:30:16.000I don't really care about candidates all that much.
00:30:19.000My rationale why I have said that I will not vote for Donald Trump is not because I think anything except that Hillary Clinton is an evil heretic, which I do.
00:30:30.000The reason that I've said I won't vote for Donald Trump is because here's my calculus.
00:30:33.000Either we back him and he loses, in which case we have embraced all of the terrible things that he said, all of the positional vacillations, all of the things that he has done that are not in line with conservatism.
00:30:44.000We've handed over the party to national populace and lost.
00:30:47.000And lost a generation of people who don't like the kind of stuff that Donald Trump says and find it vile.
00:30:52.000And I'm talking not about his politically incorrect stuff.
00:30:54.000I'm talking about his actual vile stuff.
00:30:56.000The making fun of the disabled, the making fun of women, the suggestion that judges who are Mexican can't do their job because they're of Mexican ethnicity.
00:31:51.000If you are not going to vote for Trump because you don't think that he should be the leader of conservatism in America, perverting it for the rest of our lives, then I get that, too.
00:31:59.000But it's a balancing act, and to ignore the balancing act, I think, is foolhardy.
00:32:03.000That said, there are serious divisions inside the Republican Party, and I don't think that those can be bridged over by a little bit of pat rhetoric.
00:32:08.000Paul Ryan, I think, evidenced this yesterday, so Paul Ryan clearly
00:32:12.000is uncomfortable with Donald Trump as the nominee.
00:32:14.000I mean, he really does not like, I mean, he said three weeks ago that Donald Trump was engaging in, or maybe eight weeks ago, that Donald Trump was engaging in what he called textbook racism against that Mexican Judge Curiel.
00:32:24.000Here is Paul Ryan now, you know, ripping into Hillary Clinton, saying that we've made our choices.
00:32:30.000At a time when men and women in both parties so clearly, so undeniably, want a big change in direction for America.
00:33:58.000So only the last part of that speech where he starts talking about his program is where he gets enthusiastic.
00:34:02.000The rest of the time he looks like he wants to put his face in the toilet and flush it himself.
00:34:06.000He actually wants to bully himself in like a bathroom stall.
00:34:09.000But in any case, you can see that there is a real rift in the party and it's not going to be healed anytime soon.
00:34:16.000And all this talk about unity, it's not going to happen anytime soon because it's not a unity based on principle, it's a unity based on convenience.
00:34:25.000But the question is, how large is the rift?
00:34:28.000And the rift is pretty large in a bunch of different directions.
00:34:30.000Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, who has not done a particularly good job, and who sat out this election cycle basically on the presidential side because he hates Ted Cruz so much.
00:34:39.000Watch what happens when Senator McConnell—remember, this is the Senate Majority Leader for the Republican Party.
00:34:43.000This is the Republican National Convention.
00:34:44.000Watch what happens when he walks on the stage.
00:34:46.000They're booing him, in case you can't hear that.
00:35:18.000They're not gonna go away anytime soon.
00:35:20.000And they're real divisions because the future of conservatism is at stake.
00:35:23.000It's not just the future of the Republican Party.
00:35:25.000There are big decisions to be made on all sides.
00:35:27.000I understand people who make different decisions.
00:35:29.000I'm not insisting everybody make my decision.
00:35:31.000I am insisting that you think about all of the various arguments on every side before you come to a sanguine conclusion.
00:35:38.000I think people are making this very easy for themselves by simply refusing to acknowledge truths.
00:35:43.000You know, the people on the never-Trump side are refusing to acknowledge how horrible Hillary is and how horrible she's gonna be, many of them.
00:35:48.000And some people on the pro-Trump side are refusing to acknowledge the very real costs that attend to even supporting a man as bad and as leftist as Donald Trump.
00:35:57.000Okay, time for some things I like and then some things that I hate.
00:36:17.000In any case, All About Eve is a great film.
00:36:20.000It has one of the great scenes in movie history, near the very end with George Sanders, who you'll recognize mostly as the voice of Shere Khan from Jungle Book, but George Sanders was a very big actor in his day.
00:36:30.000And George Sanders plays this kind of newspaper critic.
00:36:33.000All About Eve is about Betty Davis, who's a fading actress, and this young girl basically insinuates herself into her life.
00:36:39.000And starts trying to become her understudy, to become an actress, and then she's kind of edging her out of her own relationships.
00:36:46.000Very creepy villainess in the film, and here's what it looks like.
00:38:45.000Holder for the shaving handle, for three razors, and for the shaving cream.
00:38:50.000And I said that it works really great, which is true.
00:38:52.000And you go to Harrys.com for a $5 discount on that, Harrys.com, and you use the keyword Ben.
00:38:57.000So I got some people who are Orthodox, some Orthodox Jews, who emailed me, listened to the show, and they said, wait, you're not allowed to shave using a straight edge.
00:39:04.000OK, so the way that this works is that you're not allowed, as an Orthodox Jew, because there's a portion of the Bible that says you're not allowed to cut the edges of your beard.
00:39:12.000The idea is that you're not supposed to use a straight edge on your face.
00:39:22.000I use an electric razor on my face, and by the jawline, I also follow my monities underneath the jawline, and so when I say that the razors work, I mean that the straight edges work on my neck, which is the hardest part to shave.
00:39:31.000You can't shave it with an electric razor.
00:39:33.000That being said, Harrys.com does provide a great product, and for me, you know, this is always the hard part to shave, so that's Harrys.com, keyword Ben.
00:39:41.000Alright, so, this week's Bible portion is one of the most puzzling Bible portions in all of the Bible.
00:39:46.000This is the section with the talking donkey.
00:39:48.000Alright, this is the section that all the people on the left make fun of, because hey, it's a talking donkey, right?
00:39:53.000I mean, where have we seen that before?
00:41:21.000So, my belief is that some of the Bible is figurative.
00:41:25.000So, the point of this particular section of the Bible is that we all, in our lives, take credit for qualities for which we are not responsible.
00:41:35.000So you've heard me brag about the fact that I'm smart on the show.
00:41:47.000I'm responsible for cultivating that intelligence, but it's not... If I'm a smart person, that's probably due to the fact that both my parents are smart.
00:41:54.000People take pride in the weirdest things, right?
00:41:56.000We take pride in the fact that we're good-looking, or in the fact that we are tall, or in the fact that we're smart, the fact that we have certain skills that come naturally to us, that we're fast.
00:42:06.000We take more pride in that than we do in our values.
00:42:25.000Bilaam is just another guy that God decided to use as the conduit, and Bilaam obviously took pride in that, and that's why he was willing to be paid, and he thought, okay, I can manipulate God, I'll go there, and I'll just do what I want to do.
00:42:34.000That's not the way that any of this works.
00:42:36.000The things you should take pride in are your cultivation of your own values.
00:42:39.000The things you should take pride in are not the natural things that God gave you, because, hey, you're not responsible for those things.
00:42:47.000And by the way, that's also the reason why you shouldn't discriminate against people based on the things that are inherent to them, the things they can't change about themselves.
00:42:55.000I mean, it's stupid for a variety of reasons, but one of the reasons racism is so stupid is because you don't make a decision as to what race you are, you make a decision as to how you act as a human being.
00:43:04.000This is why, you know, the Black Lives Matter movement that suggests that you get to act differently if you're black than if you're white is so nasty.
00:43:10.000The things that you're born with, those are not qualities that you get to take credit for.
00:43:13.000Those are things that God can take credit or blame for.
00:43:16.000So the whole point of this section is what God's really saying to Bilam here is, you're an idiot.
00:43:22.000Like, you think that you're a really special guy.
00:43:24.000I'll make your donkey talk to you, and your donkey will see more than you.
00:46:04.000Okay, so the idea, of course, is that Republicans are very enthusiastic about having a black guy there.
00:46:08.000There is some truth to that, by the way, which is that Republicans are enthusiastic when somebody of minority status comes to the convention because they've been so ripped down by the press for so many years as racist and terrible people that when somebody shows up and doesn't believe that lie, then it's nice.
00:46:25.000It's one of the reasons Ben Carson and Herman Cain were so popular.
00:46:28.000You have to acknowledge the grain of truth.
00:46:30.000That being said, the Democrats are significantly more exploitative of race than the Republicans.
00:46:34.000I mean, here he's ripping on the Republicans.
00:46:36.000Oh my god, everybody's so nice to me because they want their token black guy.
00:46:39.000The Democrats are legitimately having the parents of people who assaulted and tried to murder police officers speak at their convention because they're trying to pander to black people.
00:46:46.000That seems significantly worse to me than, here's a free hat, here's a free shirt.
00:46:50.000Okay, final thing that I, that I dislike.
00:46:53.000Okay, so Caitlyn Jenner is, uh, is at the, well, we'll do a couple more because why not?
00:46:58.000Caitlyn Jenner was at the RNC and, uh, and Caitlyn Jenner is, I don't know why Caitlyn Jenner is, is at the RNC, but apparently Caitlyn Jenner is at the RNC and talking about being a Republican and this got all sorts of press attention because, of course, as we all know, the real reason the media follow the Caitlyn Jenner saga is not out of some
00:47:15.000Great sympathy for the transgender plight.
00:47:17.000It's not because they actually want Caitlyn Jenner to have a better life.
00:47:19.000It's because the media are a bunch of circus carnival barkers and they think that Caitlyn Jenner is a freak show and they can make ratings off of it.
00:47:26.000That's the reality of why they do this.
00:47:28.000It's why they put Caitlyn Jenner on the front of their magazines.
00:47:50.000Okay, one of the problems that I have with the general treatment here is sort of the token treatment that I was talking about before.
00:47:56.000It's one thing to say that we're grateful that black people are showing up because it shows that they're not buying into the Democratic lies about the Republican Party.
00:48:03.000It's another thing to pretend that Caitlyn Jenner is actually a woman, to go along with it with the agenda here.
00:48:38.000Whoopi Goldberg, who is legitimately a very stupid person.
00:48:40.000I can't say that Whoopi is the stupidest person on The View because that title is in question every day.
00:48:45.000I think that's probably why people watch.
00:48:47.000They have floating rankings of stupidity on The View.
00:48:49.000And then they just try to determine, based on each show, who moves up and who moves down.
00:48:53.000Well, Whoopi Goldberg went after Rudy Giuliani on the worst show on television, The View, the other day.
00:48:58.000Former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, did his best to pump up the crowd last night, promising them what he did for New York, Trump will do for America.
00:49:45.000It's not Mussolini-esque when the President of the United States whips crowds into furious fervors against the cops and then cops get shot.
