The Ben Shapiro Show - Ep. 5 - Rubios PC Problem

In the wake of the Oregon shooting, President Obama took to the mic and called everyone who opposed his gun control agenda a "jackass" and a "liar." In reality, Obama is a jackass who is only interested in demonizing his political opponents, and in doing so, he uses them as leverage in order to get his political agenda implemented. In order to accomplish this, he calls them "morally bereft," "stupid," and "devious," and uses them against each other to get them to "give in" to his jackass agenda. It's a brilliant strategy, and it's one that will only get him re-elected in 2020, because he thinks it works for him everywhere. But is it really working for him? Or is it working for everyone else? And if it doesn't work for him, why is he still running for re-election in 2020? And why does he keep trotting out the same old jackass tactics and talking about people who disagree with him? Is it because they are stupid or morally bereft or stupid? or is it because he's a narcissist? Or is he just not smart enough to realize that he's just not getting what he needs to do? ? Or does he think Americans are stupid enough to buy in to the jackass strategy he's using to get re-elections? Or are they just too dumb enough to fall for it? . or are they're just too stupid enough not to care enough to be smart enough to buy into it? Or do they just enough to not care enough? to care about what he s a little too much about him to care at all ? or not enough to give him a chance at winning at all to vote for him to be a smart guy? Let s talk about it, shall we? I ll tell you what s going to happen, and why it s not going to stop him from winning in 2020. and why he should be worried that he s not a smart enough guy, and what s really going to win in the next election at least he s gonna do better than that s gonna get a chance to do better in 2020 in the 2020 election. and what s gonna help him do better, right, and not just better than he s just not good enough to get better at it that s not enough, right?

00:00:00.000 So last week in the aftermath of that big shooting over at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, President Obama took to the microphones and he started yelling at everybody who didn't agree with his gun control agenda.

00:00:10.000 You remember this.

00:00:11.000 He said that it was only good and right to politicize the Oregon shooting and he said, quote, this is a political choice that we make to allow this to happen every few months in America.

00:00:20.000 We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones because of our inaction.

00:00:26.000 I don't know why I'm collectively responsible for a crazy guy shooting a bunch of innocent people, but that's what President Obama said.

00:00:32.000 He also then called for modest gun regulations, and then he didn't specify exactly what modest meant, because he doesn't have any modest gun regulations. 0.90

00:00:39.000 He just wants to take all of the guns, and as he is a pathological liar, he's unable to actually lay out any sort of gun laws that would

00:00:48.000 Stop what it is that he wants to stop.

00:00:50.000 No one really allows mass shootings to happen other than people like President Obama, who doesn't want armed guards and he doesn't want potential victims to protect themselves.

00:00:58.000 In fact, whenever President Obama says more guns don't mean less crime, you sort of wish he would tell it to his Secret Service because obviously he doesn't believe that.

00:01:06.000 But President Obama's real routine is just shouting, do something!

00:01:10.000 Whenever something allows him to push his particular agenda.

00:01:15.000 Well, President Obama, while presenting no actual gun agenda, he has implied, again, that he's interested in full-scale gun confiscation, but he's far more interested in demonizing his political opposition.

00:01:27.000 And this is really what it's all about for President Obama, is demonizing his political opposition.

00:01:32.000 The President of the United States is interested only, only in calling all of the people he opposes bad and morally deficient, saying that everybody is mean-spirited and cruel-hearted. 0.99

00:01:43.000 And that's because President Obama is definitionally a jackass. 1.00

00:01:47.000 If you level personal accusations without any evidence at all, that makes you a jackass, and President Obama is a jackass. 1.00

00:01:54.000 Which doesn't mean he's the only jackass, of course. 0.99

00:01:56.000 Hillary Clinton recently said that anybody who opposes Planned Parenthood is part of a terrorist group, and she said that anybody who wants to 0.92

00:02:03.000 Here's the thing, because leftists are constantly ignoring actual policy prescriptions,

00:02:22.000 And they're only focusing in on their emotions.

00:02:24.000 Their main political play is to call people names.

00:02:27.000 And President Obama has perfected the craft.

00:02:29.000 But the problem is, the big problem is, that it really isn't that President Obama does this with people on the domestic political stage.

00:02:38.000 The problem is that Obama thinks it works for everyone. 0.98

00:02:40.000 Because it works on Republicans, because it gets him elected, Obama thinks that being a jackass works everywhere. 0.99

00:02:46.000 And so he uses his jackass tactics on Vladimir Putin, for example. 0.99

00:02:51.000 Putin, the dictator of Russia, he was pushing his advantage in Syria. 0.96

00:02:54.000 He's occupying vast swathes of the Middle East. 0.96

00:02:56.000 He's working with Iran. 0.67

00:02:58.000 The Iraqi government is now asking Iran and Syria to work in tandem to bomb ISIS on behalf of the state of Iraq.

00:03:06.000 So now Putin is filling the gap that Obama left.

00:03:08.000 What was Obama's response to all of this?

00:03:10.000 He says that Putin went into Syria, quote, out of weakness.

00:03:13.000 I didn't see, after he made that speech in the UN, suddenly the 60-nation coalition that we have started lining up behind him.

00:03:19.000 Iran and Assad make up Mr. Putin's coalition. 0.75

00:03:22.000 The rest of the world makes up ours.

00:03:24.000 This faculty lounge insult nonsense is not going to stop Putin, of course.

00:03:28.000 And I haven't heard anything about Obama's actual coalition.

00:03:31.000 There is no coalition.

00:03:32.000 No one's going to stop Putin.

00:03:33.000 No one's going to stop Assad.

00:03:34.000 No one's going to stop ISIS. 1.00

00:03:35.000 This is all stupidity. 1.00

00:03:36.000 But Obama is so convinced that by calling his opponents morally bereft or stupid or corrupt that he's going to win, that he just keeps on trotting out his jackass strategy and he's using it on people that doesn't matter. 1.00

00:03:49.000 It's not going to help. 1.00

00:03:50.000 It's one thing to go after Mitt Romney with the jackass strategy and hope Americans are stupid enough to buy in. 1.00

00:03:55.000 Maybe they are, but Vladimir Putin isn't stupid enough to buy in. 1.00

00:03:58.000 You think Putin is going to go home at night and cry to his mama and say, oh God, Barack Obama called me and he said I don't have a coalition, that's it, I'm pulling out of Syria and Ukraine. 0.99

00:04:06.000 Obama acts as though Putin is somehow vulnerable to the kind of emotional blackmail that Republicans constantly fall for and Putin isn't. 0.85

00:04:14.000 No, we, here in the United States, we should be smart enough not to fall for Obama's jackassery when it comes to domestic politics, but America becomes very vulnerable when the President only knows how to insult and thinks that people like Vladimir Putin give a damn about his sneering blather.

00:04:30.000 I'm Ben Shapiro, and this is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:04:41.000 So President Obama isn't the only one who's spoken politically about gun control.

00:04:45.000 Of course, Ben Carson got himself in hot water over the weekend by talking about gun control.

00:04:50.000 The good doctor, according to the Investor's Business Daily poll, is actually now running first.

00:04:54.000 He's now ahead of Donald Trump.

00:04:55.000 That is an outlier poll.

00:04:57.000 He's running at 24% according to that poll.

00:04:59.000 Trump is at 17%.

00:05:01.000 And the national polling averages and the Real Clear Politics polling averages, Carson continues to ride at about 17%.

00:05:07.000 And he is benefiting from the fact that he is a political neophyte and people give him extra credit for that because he's made a number of gaffes.

00:05:13.000 And I still don't understand how in one of the debates he actually suggested openly in front of a crowd that he had told President Obama not to go into Afghanistan.

00:05:21.000 Later he said that's not really what he meant.

00:05:23.000 He's made a number of mistakes.

00:05:25.000 But what's amazing is that the stuff that the media leap on as his big mistakes, those are not the stuff that really are going to hurt him with any of the Republican electorate. 0.99

00:05:32.000 Now, Herman Cain hurt himself with the Republican electorate by saying stupid things that the Republican base found objectionable. 0.97

00:05:38.000 Ben Carson isn't going to hurt himself by saying he would never vote for a Muslim for President of the United States, or by saying what he said about shootings and gun violence. 0.99

00:05:46.000 Here's what Dr. Ben Carson had to say about President Obama and gun violence.

00:05:53.000 Imagine a politician politicizing something.

00:05:57.000 When do we get to the point where we have people who actually want to solve our problems, rather than just politicize everything?

00:06:04.000 I think that's what the American people are so sick and tired of.

00:06:07.000 And of course, that's exactly true.

00:06:09.000 It's why Ben Carson is doing so well in the race.

00:06:11.000 His more controversial comments, at least in the media's eyes,

00:06:16.000 came on Hannity on Monday night.

00:06:18.000 And that's when Ben Carson said this.

00:06:19.000 He said, people are used to double talk.

00:06:21.000 They're used to politicians saying whatever is politically expedient.

00:06:24.000 And he said that he wasn't gonna, if he had been put in a position where somebody asked him his religion and then threatened to shoot him, he wouldn't have stood still for that.

00:06:32.000 He would have done something about it.

00:06:33.000 And people read that as an implicit critique of the people who were shot at Umpqua Community College because the shooter, in the part of the story the media don't want to tell you and don't want to talk about, the shooter was going around asking people,

00:06:44.000 If they were Christians, and then if they said yes, apparently he was having them crawl to him, and then he was shooting them.

00:06:50.000 Now, it is easy for anybody to say, in a difficult, horrific situation, yeah, I would have done differently.

00:06:55.000 The truth is that we all have rather inflated senses of our own bravery and our own abilities when it comes to difficult situations.

00:07:02.000 There have been studies that show, for example, that if people are confronted with a situation where a passerby is being hurt, very few people actually jump into action.

00:07:10.000 We all think that we would, that we'd be the person who went for help or jumped into action.

00:07:14.000 Few people would, but what Carson said was his own evaluation of the situation.

00:07:18.000 The media is going after him anyway, suggesting that he doesn't have sympathy.

00:07:22.000 And this is what the left does when it comes to gun control. 0.87

00:07:24.000 It's all about the level of sympathy.

00:07:26.000 It's all about the level of how much you care in your heart.

00:07:28.000 It has nothing to do with what actually would stop this sort of thing.

00:07:33.000 And we see this carried out throughout the media with regard to these shootings.

00:07:38.000 There's a Democratic senator recently who came out and he said that Congress was endorsing mass murder.

00:07:44.000 It's Chris Murphy from Connecticut who's been a big advocate of gun control.

00:07:46.000 He said Monday on MSNBC that Congress is at fault and it's because they have bad intent.

00:07:52.000 Here is Senator Chris Murphy talking about it.

00:07:58.000 Odd-looking fellow.

00:08:00.000 I've said for a long time that I think that Congress is effectively, quietly endorsing these mass murders because people who are having their minds unhinged note that there is no one here in the elected legislative branch of Congress who is getting together to do something about it in a practical way.

00:08:19.000 So I think that without Congress acting here, we're going to see more and more of these mass slaughters and that's an abomination. 1.00

00:08:27.000 This is such stupidity. 0.99

00:08:28.000 Okay, what he's actually saying is not that Congress is going to pass policies that stop shooters from going out and doing mass shootings. 1.00

00:08:33.000 What he's saying is that crazy shooters like Jared Lee Loeffner or like this guy at Umpqua Community College, they're sitting home and they're following the NRA ratings.

00:08:41.000 And they're seeing, oh, Congress didn't do anything about that last shooting?

00:08:44.000 That means I should go out and do a shooting. 1.00

00:08:46.000 That's idiocy, of course. 1.00

00:08:47.000 What they're watching, presumably, is politicians like this talk about how college campuses 1.00

00:08:52.000 ought to be completely gun-free, and then they know exactly where to go in order to shoot people.

00:08:55.000 I mean, I went to a high school that was very heavily guarded because it was located right next to the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

00:09:01.000 I went to a high school called Yeshiva University of Los Angeles Orthodox Jewish High School located next to the Holocaust Museum.

00:09:07.000 I was there from 1997 to 2000.

00:09:08.000 Well, in 1999, Buford Furrow, who's a white supremacist,

00:09:12.000 And Buford Furrow decided he wanted to go shoot up the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

00:09:16.000 He drove to the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

00:09:18.000 He looked through the glass doors in the front, and he saw that there were two security guards there.

00:09:22.000 He didn't know they were unarmed, but they looked like they were armed.

00:09:25.000 And so he immediately got back in his car, and he had a rifle.

00:09:28.000 He got back in his car, and he proceeded to drive away from there, drive another 30 miles, and go to the North Valley Jewish Community Center, where he shot five people and killed a couple of folks.

00:09:37.000 Well, the reason for that is because one place had people with guns, one place had people without guns.

00:09:42.000 But, according to the left, the big sin here is that the people at Simon Wiesenthal Center presumably looked like they had guns.

00:09:49.000 It would have been better if they didn't look like they had guns.

00:09:52.000 In any case, as this controversy unfolds, it's always the same controversy over and over.

00:09:55.000 Democrats claiming Republicans don't care.

00:09:58.000 Republicans claiming, rightly, that Democrats don't know what they're talking about.

00:10:01.000 And again, Democrats don't know what they're talking about.

00:10:04.000 The truth is, even if you talk about full-scale gun confiscation, there are certain things

00:10:08.000 The media will not tell you about the efficacy of full-scale gun confiscation.

00:10:13.000 So, President Obama, when he was talking about mass shootings, he said, and with gun violence generally, and these are two separate things, by the way.

00:10:21.000 Gun violence and mass shootings are actually two separate issues because mass shootings are sporadic.

00:10:26.000 Mass shootings do not happen all that often, even here in the United States.

00:10:29.000 Gun violence, violence of any sort, is relatively common in any society.

00:10:34.000 And these two problems sort of have to be dealt with a little bit separately.

00:10:36.000 And Australia is a perfect example of that.

00:10:38.000 So Australia hasn't had a mass shooting incident since 2002.

00:10:41.000 And in 2002, they passed laws and they confiscated a million guns.

00:10:46.000 So they haven't had a mass shooting since then, so Obama thinks that this is a great solution to mass shootings.

00:10:50.000 Why does Obama, think about this, why does President Obama only focus in

00:10:55.000 On the lack of mass shootings in Australia rather than on their murder rate, right?

00:10:59.000 You would assume that if Obama's logic were correct, there would be a mass gun confiscation, one-third of all the guns in Australia confiscated, at point of gun, by the government.

00:11:07.000 You would imagine that the murder rate would go down significantly, right?

00:11:10.000 The murder rate would drop.

00:11:11.000 Well, there's only one problem.

00:11:13.000 After all of that happened, the murder rate did not go down.

00:11:15.000 The murder rate has gone down extraordinarily mildly.

00:11:17.000 In fact, the murder rate in the United States has gone down more in the same period than it went down in Australia, and the number of guns in the United States has risen dramatically.

00:11:27.000 But President Obama focuses on mass shootings because it's convenient cherry picking of the evidence.

00:11:31.000 The same thing is true in Great Britain.

00:11:33.000 If you look at the murder rate, the truth is that before mass gun confiscations in 1996 in Great Britain, the murder rate was basically the same or lower than it was after the mass gun confiscations.

00:11:42.000 Because the fact is that societies tend to have a basic murder rate and that murder rate stays the same regardless of the tool that is used.

00:11:48.000 Most people are not killed in mass shootings.

00:11:50.000 Mass shootings are sporadic.

00:11:52.000 So you won't hear any of that evidence.

00:11:54.000 All you will hear about from the left is that if you disagree with them, it must be because you inherently are a bad human being and you could use a little tutelage in being a better human being.

00:12:04.000 Mike Huckabee has been slammed as well because Mike Huckabee, the presidential candidate, former governor of Arkansas,

00:12:09.000 He said that the Oregon shootings were a result of sin and evil, and you use that sort of language in America, that's taboo.

00:12:15.000 The language of religious evil, the religious language with regard to bad human behavior, everything has to be explained by mental illness. 0.99

00:12:21.000 Everybody's crazy. 1.00

00:12:23.000 Everybody's a nut. 0.99

00:12:24.000 Nobody's ever evil.

00:12:25.000 Nobody ever just makes a decision to do something wrong and bad.

00:12:27.000 Nobody ever commits a sin.

00:12:29.000 It's just their inherent desires driving them, which, of course, relieves you of all human agency, which is, of course, what the shooters want in the first place, because if they're relieved of agency, then they hold no responsibility for what it is they do.

00:12:40.000 Here's Governor Mike Huckabee saying the right thing, but being targeted as though he's saying the wrong thing.

00:12:46.000 You know, I think we always talk about what the weapon was, but whether it's a pressure cooker or whether it's a gun,

00:12:52.000 We're dealing with people who are either deranged or they're very focused because they want to kill people in the name of terrorism.

00:13:00.000 We have not so much a gun problem, we have a problem with sin and evil.

00:13:05.000 This is an evil thing when people kill another person and it happens way too often.

00:13:10.000 And of course that's exactly true.

00:13:11.000 What's amazing is that we've changed the standard of crazy in the country as well.

00:13:16.000 The standard of crazy has been completely redefined in the United States.

00:13:19.000 So it used to be that the way that you gauge mental illness, usually in most states actually, the way that you gauge mental illness for purposes of giving a death penalty or convicting criminally, is that the person has to know right from wrong.

00:13:30.000 If you know right from wrong,

00:13:32.000 And you go ahead and you do something anyway, even if you have a history of mental illness, we hold you responsible for your actions.

00:13:37.000 We as a society have now gone beyond that.

00:13:39.000 It's pretty clear the Oregon shooter knew that what he was doing was wrong.

00:13:42.000 It's not like he knew what he was doing was right.

00:13:44.000 It wasn't like what he was saying was, I'm doing the right thing here.

00:13:47.000 He knew what he was doing was wrong, he just wanted the attention.

00:13:49.000 But we claim that he's crazy because it's easier to

00:13:52.000 I don't know.

00:14:09.000 It becomes uncomfortable for us when we talk about things like mental illness, as opposed to, okay, what as a society can we do to inculcate moral values in people more broadly to prevent not just mass shootings, but acts of violence of all sorts?

00:14:23.000 And of course, we won't have those sorts of conversations either.

00:14:26.000 We'll never have those sorts of conversations.

00:14:29.000 Now, I spoke about Ben Carson earlier, who's been gaining in the polls.

00:14:32.000 The left is very upset with Ben Carson, not just about what he said with regard to gun control, but about with regard with what he said with Islam.

00:14:41.000 Ben Carson had said with regard to Islam that a Muslim could be president if he or she renounces the tenets

00:14:47.000 And what he meant is renounce the tenets of the Islam that most people across the world practice, believing that Sharia law ought to be the law of the land, the tenets of Islam that regard people who are not Muslim as second-class citizens. 0.99

00:15:00.000 There's a reason that democracy, small-r republicanism, don't flourish in Islamic countries in what can only be described as the stupidest column ever written. 0.93

00:15:08.000 Salon.com has a piece by a guy named Qasim Rashid 0.99

00:15:12.000 And it's called Ben Carson's Slanders Islam.

00:15:14.000 Here's exactly why his claims about Muslims are dead wrong.

00:15:17.000 In this article, this writer actually claims that Islam, circa its creation, was more pro-woman than the United States in 2015.

00:15:24.000 Which makes zero sense.

00:15:29.000 But here's exactly what he says.

00:15:32.000 He says,

00:15:48.000 Surely men who submit themselves to God and women who submit themselves to him, God has prepared for all of them forgiveness and a great reward.

00:15:55.000 You may notice that has nothing to do with actual equality between men and women.

00:15:58.000 That's just God will give you a reward if you do what he says, but what he tells you to do is slightly different for men and for women.

00:16:04.000 And if, for example, you obey the prophet and you treat your wife in certain ways, then you will benefit 0.99

00:16:10.000 from that as a man.

00:16:11.000 And if you submit yourself to your husband, then you will benefit from that as a woman. 1.00

00:16:15.000 But this is all part and parcel of the political correctness that Carson was talking about earlier.

00:16:19.000 The political correctness that is not going to redound to the benefit of Republicans or Democrats.

00:16:25.000 And this is why I'm so happy to see Ben Carson doing so well.

00:16:30.000 And speaking of political correctness, speaking of the sort of infiltration of political correctness, I do think it will be interesting to see

00:16:38.000 Whether Donald Trump and Ben Carson stay on top of the pack, because clearly if you were going to rank the Republican candidates in terms of level of political correctness, Trump and Carson are at the top in terms of not politically correct.

00:16:49.000 And then you start to get into the more politically correct arena.

00:16:52.000 I've been saying for a while here on The Ben Shapiro Show that Marco Rubio is likely to be the Republican nominee, mainly because you ask tea partiers about Marco Rubio and they kind of shrug and go, okay, he sounds all right.

00:17:02.000 And if you ask people in the establishment about Marco Rubio, they look at you and they say, yeah, Marco Rubio, that guy's young and he's good looking and he'll be great.

00:17:10.000 Marco Rubio does have a penchant for political correctness that is troubling.

00:17:14.000 Marco Rubio in the past few weeks, there's been a clip that's floating around of him talking about the Black Lives Matter movement, which he gives them significantly more credibility than they actually deserve.

00:17:24.000 And it is sort of problematic that Republicans are ignoring the lessons of Carson and the lessons of Trump.

00:17:30.000 The fact is, most people in the United States are sick to death of political correctness.

00:17:35.000 Most people in the United States understand political correctness doesn't just annoy us, it actually gets people killed.

00:17:41.000 Most people in the United States understand that political correctness, whether we're talking political correctness with regard to race, or political correctness with regard to guns, or whether we're talking political correctness with regard to religion, political correctness gets people killed.

00:17:55.000 And Trump will say this, and so will Carson.

00:17:58.000 I'm afraid Rubio won't, and as long as we buy into the baseline of political correctness that the left continues to represent, it's going to be very difficult for Republicans to win.

00:18:07.000 Because you can't win using the language of the other side. 0.98

00:18:10.000 You can't win telling the American people that the other side is speaking rationally and reasonably.

00:18:15.000 To go back to something I was saying earlier in the program, when it comes to President Obama calling Republicans names, saying they're bad people, saying they're morally deficient,

00:18:24.000 The reason he can get away with that is because he's speaking a different language than most Republicans speak.

00:18:29.000 So he can say their language is evil.

00:18:32.000 He actually hijacks Republican language.

00:18:34.000 He hijacks Republican language in order to make his point.

00:18:37.000 Republicans speak in the language of good and evil.

00:18:38.000 Democrats theoretically don't, except when they're talking about Republicans. 0.99

00:18:42.000 And then Republicans idiotically hijack the language of Democrats when it comes to talking about their opposition. 0.89

00:18:48.000 So Republicans who actually will speak, like Mike Huckabee, about sin and evil, 0.97

00:18:52.000 As soon as they start talking about Democrats, all of that goes out the window, and now they're talking about incompetence and inability to administrate correctly, and this is why Republicans continue to lose.

00:19:03.000 Which is too bad, obviously, because it's bad for the country all around.

00:19:07.000 Now, speaking about inability to distinguish evil,

00:19:11.000 I do have to speak briefly about what is a continuing intifada that's now breaking out in Israel.

00:19:18.000 I mean, a vast spate of stabbings in Israel, shootings in Israel, in Jerusalem by Palestinians.

00:19:25.000 The backdrop to this is that Mahmoud Abbas, the beloved moderate leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas wrote his college thesis on Holocaust denial. 0.93

00:19:33.000 And Mahmoud Abbas is a terrorist. 0.57

00:19:35.000 I mean, he worked with terrorists. 1.00

00:19:37.000 He is a terrorist. 0.99

00:19:37.000 The Palestinian Authority is a terrorist entity. 0.99

00:19:40.000 Mahmoud Abbas went to the U.N. 0.63

00:19:41.000 and he said that the Oslo Accords were over, the treaty was over, which effectively means that the Palestinian Authority is in a state of war with Israel.

00:19:48.000 Hamas, which occupies the Gaza Strip, they too are in a continuous state of war with Israel.

00:19:54.000 And so the war continues apace.

00:19:56.000 Over the last week or so, there have been a number of attacks on Jews, including one back on last Thursday, in which a couple that my sister actually knew, a couple were murdered in front of their four children,

00:20:07.000 Four of their children—they actually had six kids—four of their kids were in the backseat of the car, and they were shot to death in the front of the car.

00:20:13.000 The father managed to stagger out of the car and tell the kids to run.

00:20:16.000 But in any case, President Obama released a statement about this spate of Jew killing via his State Department, and here is what President Obama's anti-Semitic administration said.

00:20:26.000 It said, quote,

00:20:30.000 Including the tragic stabbing in the Old City today that left two victims dead and two injured.

00:20:34.000 We call for all perpetrators of violence to be swiftly brought to justice and then, it continued, we are very concerned about mounting tensions in the West Bank and Jerusalem, including the Haram al-Sharif temple mount, and call on all sides to take affirmative steps to restore calm and avoid escalating the situation.

00:20:51.000 So a bunch of Jews get stabbed by a bunch of terrorist Palestinians celebrated by the terrorist Palestinian Authority and the terrorist Hamas and the President of the United States who last week he came out refused, refused to tell his own Democrats that he would veto a Palestinian declaration of statehood at the UN.

00:21:07.000 That President of the United States blamed both sides, because this is what the Obama administration does. 0.97

00:21:12.000 Now, a year ago, a year and a half ago, during the Gaza War, I specifically said on Fox News, on live television, that this is a Jew-hating administration. 0.79

00:21:20.000 I called it a borderline Jew-hating administration.

00:21:22.000 I was soft-pedaling it. 0.96

00:21:23.000 This is a Jew-hating administration, and the proof is in the pudding.

00:21:26.000 The State Department's own standards of what constitutes anti-Semitism, their own standard of what constitutes anti-Semitism, includes the idea that if you treat Israel with a double standard, 0.69

00:21:37.000 If you treat Israel with a standard you would apply to no one else on earth, that's anti-Semitic.

00:21:42.000 The Obama administration does that every single day.

00:21:44.000 No nation should be forced to tolerate this sort of behavior.

00:21:47.000 Nonetheless, President Obama calls on Israel to do so.

00:21:50.000 This is why, whenever we hear the language of good and evil applied by President Obama to gun owners, law-abiding gun owners, it sickens you to your stomach.

00:21:58.000 This is why the President of the United States, who backs abortion at every turn, who undermines Israel, who lets Vladimir Putin run roughshod through the Middle East, who lets Vladimir Putin oppress, who lets the Chinese run roughshod through the South China Sea, hearing that President of the United States label us the bad guys, it should grate on you.

00:22:15.000 And it should grate on you that not enough Republican politicians are willing to speak up and call evil by its name.

00:22:21.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
