Folks, tons going on in the news. President Trump has some excellent poll numbers. He is also unleashing the American military on the Yemeni Houthis and Iranian front group that's been attacking shipping in the Red Sea. So the American military going to town over the weekend first. America is in the middle of a comeback, but... The culture war is not yet over.

All right, so... Over the weekend, 32 Americans were killed in a massive American storm after fatalities were reported apparently in both Kansas and Mississippi.

Violent tornadoes, according to the Associated Press, ripped through parts of the United States, wiping out schools, toppling semi-tractor trailers in several states. It was a huge monster storm that has killed at least 32 more people. More severe weather was expected late on Saturday. Lots of vehicles involved, truly a terrible accident.

70.111 - 85.864 Ben Shapiro

You've already seen the attempt by some in the media to try and paint the Trump administration as responsible for all of this. That, of course, is incredibly silly. Natural disasters strike on everybody's watch. The question is what the fallout looks like and what the federal government can do and should do in response that has yet to be seen.

85.924 - 104.295 Ben Shapiro

So all the sort of preliminary blame on the Trump administration for what happened with these tornadoes across the country, that's silly. And it is not Joe Biden's fault that a tornado hit North Carolina. It's his fault if the federal government doesn't do what it's supposed to do afterwards. We're going to find out in very short order whether the Trump administration rises to the occasion.

104.315 - 127.15 Ben Shapiro

I have a feeling that they absolutely will. Meanwhile, the big news of the weekend was that President Trump announced attacks by the United States military on the Houthis. So the Houthis are a group of America-hating, Jew-hating, anti-Israel, anti-American, near-satanic terrorists. in Yemen. And they've been at war with the Saudi government for a very long time.

127.17 - 145.173 Ben Shapiro

And one of the things that the Biden administration did was basically push the Saudis to give up that war with the Yemeni Houthis on quote unquote humanitarian grounds. And the result was that the Houthis after October 7th decided that they were going to not only target Israel with some missile strikes, but they were also going to target shipping in the Red Sea.

145.553 - 165.291 Ben Shapiro

The Houthis are almost entirely funded. and staffed by the Iranian military. The Iranian military has propped up the Houthis for literally years. What's been going on in Yemen has been a proxy war. The only reason that that had to involve the United States at all is because the Houthis began to attack shipping in the Red Sea, which is a major artery for international shipping and trade.
