Ep. 2166 - Democrat Launches Verbal ASSAULT on Disabled Texas Governor: “HOT WHEELS”
This journalist, Mr. President, wants the world talking about more hoaxes and this kind of nonsense rather than the freedom that you're enabling. And a key part of our sovereignty is open sea lanes and knocking the crap out of terrorists, which is exactly what your team and Pete Hegseth, a good friend and fellow veteran, is leading the charge on.

Ep. 2161 - NASA Astronauts Return, Trump Brokers Putin CEASEFIRE?!
How do we get some of those guys back under a rock?

Ep. 2161 - NASA Astronauts Return, Trump Brokers Putin CEASEFIRE?!
How do you fight it? Well, this notion of text. I think I could kick most of their ass. I do think that. But I don't know if we're going to fall into that place where we want to, okay, we challenge you to a, you know, a WWE fight here type of thing.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2133 - Democrats Plan Trump IMPEACHMENT?!
The president is doing exactly what he said on the campaign trail that he is going to do, would do. And he's delivering on that, and we're a big part of that, and we're going to do it as well. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party truly is seemingly lost. They have no rudder. They have no vision. They have no clear leader.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2133 - Democrats Plan Trump IMPEACHMENT?!
The only message they have is anti-President Trump, and we've all seen that that's a failed strategy time after time.

Ep. 2162 - The Case For Derek Chauvin | Episode 2: The Incident
Saying on my phone, I don't know, some of you know this on the iPhone, they've got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day. 225 and dropping. So, and if you own one, if you own one, we're not blaming you. You can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off, you know, and take out, just telling you.

Ep. 2138 - Tulsi CONFIRMED, Trump Pushes UKRAINE DEAL
You look at some of the expenditures by USAID. For instance, I uncovered over $3 million to a rap artist in Gaza producing anti-Israel, anti-Semitic songs. Is that the best use of American taxpayer dollars? I would venture not. And so one of the things that we're going to do in this hearing tomorrow, obviously, is go through what actually is the role of USAID. What should they be focused on?
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2138 - Tulsi CONFIRMED, Trump Pushes UKRAINE DEAL
And frankly, what have they been focused on?

Ep. 2177 - TRUMP U-TURN WIN: Tariff War Paused, China Isolated!
We know from Scripture and from nature that men are men, and women are women, and men cannot become women.

Ep. 2144 - More Trump WINS: Joy Reid GONE!
Who would you rather have go toe-to-toe with the likes of Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Xi, or anyone else? Joe Biden or Donald Trump? He's the dealmaker-in-chief, he's the commander-in-chief, and it's only because of his strength. that were even in this position. And President Trump's own words have been that Russia invaded a neighbor under Bush, under Obama and under Biden, but not him.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2144 - More Trump WINS: Joy Reid GONE!
It didn't happen his first term and he's going to bring it to an end his second term.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2159 - Trump SOARS in Polling, UNLEASHES On Houthis!
These were not kind of pinprick back and forth, what ultimately proved to be feckless attacks. This was an overwhelming response that actually targeted multiple Houthi leaders and took them out.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2159 - Trump SOARS in Polling, UNLEASHES On Houthis!
Well, all options are always on the table with the president, but Iran needs to hear him loud and clear. It is completely unacceptable and it will be stopped. The level of support that they've been providing the Houthis.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2159 - Trump SOARS in Polling, UNLEASHES On Houthis!
They can either hand it over and give it up in a way that is verifiable, or they can face a whole series of other consequences. But either way, we cannot have a world with the ayatollahs with their finger on the nuclear button, We cannot have a situation that would result in an arms race across the Middle East in terms of nuclear proliferation.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2159 - Trump SOARS in Polling, UNLEASHES On Houthis!
And President Trump is determined one way or another. Iran has been offered a way out of this.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2143 - The True Faces Of Evil
with President Zelensky that you've heard is multifold. One, there needs to be a deep appreciation for what the American people, what the American taxpayer, what President Trump did in his first term, and what we've done since. So some of the rhetoric coming out of Kyiv, frankly, and insults to President Trump were unacceptable, number one. Number two,
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2143 - The True Faces Of Evil
Our own Secretary of Treasury personally made the trip to offer the Ukrainians what can only be described as a historic opportunity. That is for America to co-invest with Ukraine in their minerals, in their resources, to truly grow the pie.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
Yeah, you know, and I talk to the president about this daily. I do think that's the ultimate end game here is that, you know, we have huge disparities really since World War II, since we became the last great superpower. We had the responsibility of the free world placed upon our shoulders, and that's fine.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
America has an exceptional place and a lot of responsibility, but other countries deemed our power inferior. to be an excuse for them to have trade disparity with us. So we've got huge imbalances with lots of countries, even close allies. President Trump is coming in and using common sense. He's saying to these countries, this isn't post-World War II, it's far beyond that now.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
We need to have free and fair trade. And I think that's going to be the ultimate result. And as you said, I think the reciprocal trade will fix the imbalances. I think they'll bring down these huge disparities from the other countries and we'll get back to an actual free trade scenario. That's going to be good for America.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
And he is making our allies respect America again for the first time in a long time. And that's long overdue.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
So good to be with you my friend. Thanks for all you do. Thanks a lot.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
Well, it's a team effort. It really is. We do a lot of work to keep everybody on the same page, and it pays off when we do that. This is another example of that. When the Republican Party sticks together, we can get big things done. And this is a big thing. Look, we funded the government. It's a relatively clean CR, except that it has a couple of innovations.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
We plussed up defense spending and we reduced non-defense spending in small amounts. But it was important. That's exactly what the Trump administration needed to give them flexibility to do what they need to do. We are freezing funding. This is a year over year decrease in funding, Ben. And that's the first time anybody can remember that that's happened. So, you know, I keep making the analogy.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
We have an aircraft carrier. That's what the federal budget is. Right. And it's taken decades to get into the situation we're in. We're going to turn it. But you don't turn an aircraft carrier on a dime. It takes miles of open ocean. So this is an important turn.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
And then when we get to the next FY26, the next fiscal year budget, which we're about to begin immediately after FY25 is done, then it gets real because then the doge cuts are included, the new revenue streams that the president announced. and the administration are bringing about become a part of that. And we're going to be in a totally different situation. So we're excited.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
It's a good day for America. And I certainly hope the Senate does the right thing here.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
Well, they're going well. Look, we did our work in the House. We have to lead on this. I've told my Senate colleagues, while there are different ideas on how to achieve the ultimate objective, it has to be all in one bill. Why? Because if Lindsey Graham's strategy played out, and Lindsey's my friend, we've had a fun discussion about this, okay? But if you take...
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
energy, border and defense spending, and you do that separately, of course, every Republican will vote for that. That's the easy stuff. But we need that as sweetener on the larger package. Why? Because we have tax to do. And that's very complicated. We've got to check a lot of boxes, all of our campaign promises, all in one big, beautiful bill. But it's going along well, Ben.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
And I want to point out the House began this process a year ago. It was last March. When I brought in all the committee chairs, deputize them to start thinking about reconciliation, put their priorities together. And we've done that. So we're methodically working through the process. What will happen is over the next four or five weeks, we'll put all this together.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
We'll meet the equilibrium point amongst all the Republicans and their various representatives. priorities and concerns. We'll send it to the Senate. And I'm hopeful, Ben, we can get this to the president's desk for signature before Memorial Day, hopefully early May. Why is that so important?
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
Because we have to allow the American people to see the results of all this good policy before the midterm elections and in time to give them relief that they desperately need.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
Yeah, I mean, so this is the Senate parliamentarian ultimately that makes a decision on this. The way it works, all this is kind of a legal fiction, Ben, really. But if the chairs of the two chambers in the budget committees agree that this is permanent policy, that we use current policy baseline, then it makes the tax cuts that we're going to extend permanent and extends it beyond 10 years. So
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
That's an important thing. It's what President Trump wants as a priority.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
And it's what I think people really need and deserve, because if you're a small business owner, for example, it's very helpful to have certainty to know that you have going forward into the future certainty about what your federal tax rate is going to be, you know, that it wouldn't fluctuate in between elections and all of that. So but now here's the caveat.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
We wanna make sure that we're finding actual cuts. We have to turn this aircraft carrier around. We have too much federal spending. The government's too large. It has too many things, does almost nothing well, right? So that's what the Doge effort is about. That's what the Trump administration is completely dialed in on. We wanna reduce the size and scope of the federal government.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
And to do that, you gotta find real savings. So we wanna encourage all the Republicans. We're the only ones that cut spending, not the Democrats, as is on display. We're gonna encourage everybody to go and find real savings.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
preserve the safety net programs, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, don't believe the hype, don't believe what the Democrats are saying, but find efficiencies, root out the fraud, waste, and abuse, all these things that we think can find maybe a trillion dollars in savings for the taxpayer. That's going to be a great thing, and it's all going to be wrapped into this big process.
