00:00:00.000 Across America, leftists, many of whom certainly did not vote for Hillary Clinton, took to the streets to protest against Donald Trump's election.
00:00:07.000 In LA, they tagged police cars with the graffiti F Trump.
00:00:10.000 In New York, Lady Gaga led protests at Trump Tower, which is just awesome.
00:00:15.000 In Philadelphia,
00:00:16.000 These protests raise a couple of questions.
00:00:18.000 First,
00:00:45.000 Why?
00:00:46.000 When Barack Obama won re-election in 2012, conservatives were deeply depressed.
00:00:49.000 We didn't hold mass protests.
00:00:51.000 Elections are elections.
00:00:52.000 We protested Obamacare.
00:00:53.000 We protested TARP.
00:00:55.000 We protested executive amnesty.
00:00:56.000 We did not protest the election itself.
00:00:59.000 And President-elect Trump, whom, by the way, I opposed throughout the primaries and didn't vote for during the general, and I think he's a bad person, but he hasn't done anything yet!
00:01:06.000 I think he's an objectionable.
00:01:08.000 Again, I don't think he's a good person, but his victory doesn't change that.
00:01:11.000 But as I wrote yesterday, I hope he proves me wrong about that.
00:01:14.000 And I'm going to give him a chance to prove me wrong about all of that.
00:01:17.000 But no matter what you think about Trump as a person, he hasn't done anything yet as president.
00:01:20.000 He's not president yet.
00:01:21.000 He's president-elect.
00:01:22.000 So what are they protesting other than reality?
00:01:25.000 Do they think that Donald Trump is sitting there going, oh, they're protesting.
00:01:28.000 I guess I won't be president now.
00:01:30.000 Or is he actually just going to bathe in their salty, bitter tears?
00:01:33.000 Second, what comes after this?
00:01:34.000 If the Democrats are protesting Trump before he even does anything, what can we expect when he actually begins acting as president?
00:01:41.000 Will the left begin engaging in mass violence beyond mere protest?
00:01:44.000 The left's histrionic rioting helps generate exactly the sort of anger that led to a President Trump.
00:01:49.000 Their continued rioting won't get him re-elected.
00:01:51.000 Trump won because Americans didn't show up for Hillary, not because of some enormous search for Trump, who actually may end up winning fewer popular votes than Mitt Romney. 1.00
00:01:58.000 But it certainly will not convince Americans to join the idiotic, ridiculous, and stupid anti-Trump crowd. 1.00
00:02:05.000 I'm Ben Shapiro. 1.00
00:02:05.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show. 1.00
00:02:11.000 Okie doke. 0.85
00:02:12.000 So, here we are.
00:02:13.000 So much to get to today and so much hilarity.
00:02:16.000 I mean, they promised hilarity and hilarity shall be delivered.
00:02:20.000 I mean, we were promised a circus. 0.96
00:02:22.000 The clowns are all here.
00:02:24.000 It's just fantastic all the way across the board. 0.97
00:02:27.000 I promise we'll get to all of it.
00:02:28.000 First, we have to say hello to our friends over at Birch Gold.
00:02:30.000 So, if in these uncertain times you are worried about the economy, I think
00:02:35.000 Honestly, I'm a little less worried about the economy now than I was before, but I'm more worried about the Fed raising the interest rates, which would send real estate in the stock market plummeting.
00:02:42.000 If you're worried about those sorts of things, you need to hedge your bets with birchgold.com.
00:02:47.000 Birchgold.com slash Ben.
00:02:50.000 You go there, you get a free kit.
00:02:53.000 It's a 16-page kit about investing in precious metals.
00:02:55.000 I have to say that everything is just hysterically funny.
00:02:56.000 We've entered the realm of the absurd.
00:03:19.000 And we are beyond anything remotely resembling reality.
00:03:23.000 This alternative reality that we entered into about 15 months ago, now is going to continue for four years.
00:03:29.000 And what's bizarre about this alternative reality is that people like me, who think that Donald Trump is basically a bad person, we're rooting eagerly for him to do some pretty good things.
00:03:38.000 And I think he's going to do some pretty good things, particularly early in his presidency, but we'll get to that in a minute.
00:03:42.000 First, we have to get to the story of the day.
00:03:47.000 Oh my god.
00:03:48.000 Donald Trump goes to the White House.
00:03:50.000 Presidents elect Trump.
00:03:52.000 Presidents elect Donald Trump.
00:03:55.000 Presidents elect Donald Trump goes to the White House to meet the outgoing president, Barack Obama.
00:04:03.000 And it is just glorious.
00:04:06.000 Justice can be done through weird channels.
00:04:09.000 This is true.
00:04:10.000 I don't think that Donald Trump has met justice for all of the terrible things he did during the primaries and the general.
00:04:15.000 He is delivering justice, like Wyatt Earp in Tombstone, to President Obama.
00:04:20.000 Imagine Barack Obama, and your image of yourself is you're this great statesperson.
00:04:23.000 You are a wonderful thinker.
00:04:25.000 You are a deep man.
00:04:27.000 You are a transformative president, the first black president in American history.
00:04:31.000 You're a man who acts with the dignity of Martin Luther King and the forethought of Gandhi.
00:04:36.000 You are just God's gift to the world.
00:04:39.000 And your successor, who's going to wipe out all of the things that you did, all of them,
00:04:44.000 is a reality TV show star you consider to be an illiterate orangutan.
00:04:48.000 And that's what just happened at the White House.
00:04:50.000 Look at that picture!
00:04:52.000 Oh my god.
00:04:54.000 Look at this.
00:04:55.000 Look at this.
00:04:56.000 This is everything.
00:04:57.000 This picture is everything!
00:04:59.000 Oh! 0.60
00:05:00.000 Oh! 0.60
00:05:00.000 It's phenomenal. 0.60
00:05:01.000 Okay, so for those who are going to be listening to this on the podcast later and can't actually see this picture.
00:05:07.000 Oh my god.
00:05:12.000 So, it's Donald Trump giving the Trump finger.
00:05:15.000 It's the press.
00:05:19.000 Oh my god, it's so great. 1.00
00:05:21.000 Trump giving the Trump finger to the press, the same finger that he used to fire Omarosa, he's giving to the press right now, sitting next to Barack Obama, who looks like he had a rod rammed straight up his ass. 0.99
00:05:33.000 And Obama is sitting stark straight in his chair and gazing off into the distance like a Vietnam War vet who saw all of his buddies get blown away. 0.99
00:05:42.000 And then behind them, behind them, is a bust of Abraham Lincoln, frowning at the
00:05:49.000 Oh my god.
00:05:53.000 Abraham Lincoln mourning for his country. 0.96
00:05:55.000 Abraham Lincoln, who it turns out, came back to life just to shoot himself in the back of the head.
00:06:01.000 Because this is what, oh my god, this is what America has become.
00:06:05.000 It's just, it's phenomenal!
00:06:08.000 Come on! 0.61
00:06:11.000 Oh my god.
00:06:12.000 I'll say it again.
00:06:13.000 This is Barack Obama's worst nightmare come to life.
00:06:16.000 This is all the nightmares rolled into one.
00:06:18.000 It is all of the nightmares.
00:06:20.000 And they are all wonderfully coming true for Barack Obama.
00:06:23.000 And here's another picture.
00:06:26.000 Oh my god, you see the Statue of Liberty, the picture, the painting of the Statue of Liberty in the background as her torch goes out.
00:06:33.000 You see Barack Obama sitting there, this guy who thinks that he is the God-King of the United States, the man who is supposed to be the great leader who restored America to dignity and wonder.
00:06:43.000 And there's Barack Obama leaning into camera looking like he wants to die.
00:06:47.000 And Donald Trump sitting there like,
00:06:49.000 Give me a birth certificate right now or Obamacare's on the table. 0.96
00:06:54.000 It's just every bit of justice that Obama deserved.
00:06:56.000 It's all the things.
00:06:57.000 It's all of them!
00:07:00.000 I can't stand Donald Trump, as you know, on a personal level.
00:07:03.000 I think that he's going to do some good things as president, or at least I hope he will, and I'm willing to give him time to change as a man.
00:07:10.000 But the fact that he is who he is, is what makes this wonderful.
00:07:14.000 If this had just been Marco Rubio accepting from Barack Obama, justice has not been done.
00:07:19.000 The fact that it is Donald Trump accepting from Barack Obama is what makes this so wonderful. 0.98
00:07:23.000 Because it is Donald Trump, a man who is a reality TV show clown man. 0.92
00:07:28.000 Him accepting from a guy who considers himself to be the most dignified human ever to walk the earth. 0.98
00:07:33.000 And look at this handshake.
00:07:35.000 Trump treating it like he's about to take the presidency of the United States.
00:07:41.000 And Obama looking at him like, I can't believe that this is in the mirror.
00:07:45.000 And that's really what this is about.
00:07:46.000 Because Obama's vision of himself, this is the truth about Obama and Trump.
00:07:51.000 Trump is just Obama without some of the trappings.
00:07:55.000 Not with regard to policy, with regard to personality.
00:07:57.000 And the way I say this is that they're both narcissists, obviously, but beyond that, the reality TV show star nature of Donald Trump, and he is, I mean, this whole campaign was a reality TV show.
00:08:07.000 That reality TV show star, the fact a reality TV show star is now the president-elect of the United States, that is a direct reflection of the fact that Barack Obama was a celebrity reality TV show star for eight years.
00:08:18.000 That's what this is.
00:08:20.000 I mean, for example, here is Barack Obama.
00:08:22.000 We'll do selfie stick Barack here.
00:08:24.000 This is
00:08:42.000 Doing this routine where he is doing interviews with GloZell, right?
00:08:47.000 The lady who bathes in Froot Loops, right? 0.99
00:08:49.000 He is a reality TV show star.
00:08:51.000 He is a celebrity.
00:08:52.000 It's why his popularity ratings are high.
00:08:55.000 And it's for the same reason his popularity ratings are high, but his policies mean nothing.
00:09:00.000 That's how you get Donald Trump, because you go from reality TV show star to reality TV show star.
00:09:04.000 Obama doesn't see himself that way, but that's who he is.
00:09:07.000 And you can see it.
00:09:08.000 So, you know, we'll skip ahead a little bit.
00:09:09.000 Guys, can you grab clip 22?
00:09:11.000 So this is Barack Obama reading mean tweets on Jimmy Kimmel.
00:09:16.000 And this, again, this is everything.
00:09:18.000 You want to know how Donald Trump got to be president of the United States, it's all right here in this small clip from Jimmy Kimmel with Barack Obama.
00:09:25.000 President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States, exclamation point, at real Donald Trump.
00:09:33.000 Well, at real Donald Trump.
00:09:38.000 At least I will go down as a president.
00:09:42.000 Right now, a historic moment.
00:09:44.000 We can now project the winner of the presidential race.
00:09:47.000 Donald Trump wins the presidency.
00:09:50.000 The business tycoon, a TV personality.
00:09:53.000 Camping is a probable political journey.
00:09:57.000 That's justice right there.
00:09:58.000 That is justice coming in the form of Donald Trump to Barack Obama, and justice is indeed sweet.
00:10:02.000 I mean, you know, again, do I think it's good for the country that we now have a reality TV show star running it?
00:10:08.000 I'll wait till I see his policies.
00:10:10.000 Do I think that he's somebody who would strike me as qualified for the office?
00:10:14.000 No.
00:10:14.000 As I said to my wife, you've studied for years and years and years to be a doctor.
00:10:17.000 If somebody made the head of your hospital a guy who had once played Operation,
00:10:21.000 Then you'd have a right to be slightly worried about it, or slightly concerned about it.
00:10:25.000 Maybe he'll do some good stuff.
00:10:28.000 But by the same token, when it comes to just justice for Barack Obama, just justice for Barack Obama, karma, it is spectacular.
00:10:36.000 Spectacular.
00:10:37.000 And it wasn't just by the way that tweet.
00:10:39.000 We're good to go.
00:10:57.000 And it's not just that, right?
00:10:59.000 I mean, it's Seth Meyers taunting Donald Trump about Barack Obama.
00:11:02.000 This is, I think, clip 23.
00:11:03.000 Seth Meyers is at the White House Correspondence Center in 2011.
00:11:09.000 Same deal.
00:11:10.000 Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.
00:11:20.000 And there's Trump sitting there, right?
00:11:23.000 It wasn't a joke.
00:11:24.000 It wasn't a joke.
00:11:25.000 Donald Trump often appears on Fox, which is ironic, because a fox often appears on Donald Trump's head.
00:11:38.000 If you're at the Washington Post table with Trump and you can't finish your entree, don't worry, the fox will eat it.
00:11:46.000 Gary Busey said recently that Donald Trump would make a great president.
00:11:50.000 Of course, he said the same thing about an old rusty birdcage he found.
00:11:59.000 Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for a vice president.
00:12:12.000 Now I know that he's taken some flack lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald.
00:12:25.000 And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter.
00:12:31.000 Like, did we fake the moon landing?
00:12:38.000 What really happened in Roswell?
00:12:41.000 And where are Biggie and Tupac?
00:12:48.000 All kidding aside, obviously we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience.
00:12:56.000 For example, seriously, just recently, in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice at the steakhouse, the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks.
00:13:13.000 And there was a lot of blame to go around, but you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership, and so ultimately you didn't blame Little John or Meatloaf
00:13:26.000 You fired Gary Busey.
00:13:31.000 And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night.
00:13:34.000 Okay, there's Barack Obama being a reality TV show star at the White House Correspondence Center, making fun of Donald Trump, doing it on Kimmel, making fun of Donald Trump.
00:13:41.000 All of this is why Donald Trump is where Donald Trump is.
00:13:44.000 The only way that you get to this level with the American presidency is because we've been there before, and we were there before in the form of a guy who thinks of himself as a dignified man who can sneer at Donald Trump.
00:13:54.000 So, I just had to point out the absolute hilarity and wonder of it, because it truly is amazing and wonderful.
00:14:00.000 We have to break for just a second, say hello to our friends over at Hint Water.
00:14:04.000 So this water is delicious Hint water.
00:14:06.000 It's just water.
00:14:08.000 It's not sugar.
00:14:09.000 They don't put artificial flavoring in there.
00:14:10.000 It's all natural.
00:14:11.000 But you taste just a smidgen of flavor of these various flavors.
00:14:15.000 It's really, really good stuff.
00:14:16.000 My daughter loves it.
00:14:17.000 I love it.
00:14:18.000 My wife loves it.
00:14:18.000 It was started by a gal named Kara Golden.
00:14:20.000 She was overweight and she'd been drinking diet soda and she decided that she wanted to actually create a better tasting water because water tasted boring and it does taste boring.
00:14:28.000 We're good to go.
00:14:57.000 That's on the hilarious side.
00:14:58.000 On the hilarious side, there is Donald Trump visiting the White House and demonstrating in full karmic effect what Barack Obama is to the world, and it's just glorious. 1.00
00:15:07.000 On the other comedic side, there are a bunch of anti-Trump protesters who have been going around making jerks of themselves, and they look like fools. 0.97
00:15:14.000 And it does demonstrate what Trump is up against in the sense that the left has already pre-decided that he's going to be awful, and they're going to oppose anything he does. 0.98
00:15:22.000 And that's not a shock, but I'm old enough to remember when Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped Barack Obama would fail and that his agenda would fail, and the left thought that was unpatriotic and awful.
00:15:30.000 I guess we're back to the era of dissent being patriotic again.
00:15:33.000 Here's a video of some anti-Trump protesters yesterday.
00:15:36.000 There will be casualties on both sides!
00:15:38.000 There will be, because people have to die to make a change in this world! 0.96
00:15:43.000 Trump, enough with your racism! 0.97
00:15:44.000 Stop splitting families! 0.94
00:15:46.000 Don't split my family! 0.90
00:15:48.000 Okay, and then she eventually says people are going to have to die on both sides.
00:15:52.000 Yeah, lady, I don't see you doing the dying.
00:15:54.000 And all these people who say they're going to participate in violent protests, there was a lot of talk that Donald Trump supporters would be violent.
00:16:02.000 All the people who voted for Donald Trump were people who were very ticked at Barack Obama.
00:16:06.000 None of them rioted after Barack Obama won in 2012.
00:16:10.000 But Democrats get to get away with anything.
00:16:12.000 UCSD, University of California, San Diego, you're seeing some of the same sort of stuff.
00:16:15.000 Here's some of the students protesting, I think it was last night.
00:16:21.000 Go Trump!
00:16:32.000 What do they think this is going to accomplish?
00:16:33.000 Nothing.
00:16:33.000 It's not going to accomplish anything other than to toxify Trump before he even is able to do a single thing in office, which is really quite despicable.
00:16:43.000 Now, you're free to do all this stuff.
00:16:44.000 It's your prerogative. 0.97
00:16:45.000 But the idea that Donald Trump is going to suddenly resign his office because a bunch of whiny college students have decided they don't want to accept the results of a duly enacted election, that's utter foolishness. 0.84
