Shapiro SNAPS After Theo Von Goes Viral

The Young Turks3:47

Transcription

Listen, maybe the vice president thinks he has to kiss Theo Von's dick in order to keep him in the coalition and that's his political calculation. I think it's a bad political calculation. Ben Shapiro repeatedly called the comedian Theo Von the R-word on his program yesterday and uh you won't be surprised to find out that um just a few weeks ago uh Von went viral for being critical of Israel. So, I think it's fair to connect the two incidents.

Now, before I give you the details, Jenk, your two cents. What I found to be interesting is we all criticize politicians and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, you should if you're part of media. But the way that he was scolding J.D. Vance like and almost like warning him, if you know what's good for you, you won't support Theo Von or Tucker Carlson. You'll only support pro-Israel shows. I mean, the arrogance. But to be fair to Ben Shapiro, he might know things we don't know about how politicians in America do not have a choice. They must bow their heads to Israel and it's driving him crazy that other people in media no longer are.

Tell us about it, Anna. So, before I get to Ben Shapiro's statements, I think it's important for you to know the context and what Theo Von had to say about uh you know, Israel and Israeli terrorists. Uh so, let's take a quick look at that first.

What do you think is going to happen? Do you think we're going to be okay? I hope so, of course. I don't know. >> Do you think about it? >> I'm confused. I can't believe we went to this war. I when we started bombing Iran, I was like, this can't this can't be true. >> And what about Lebanon now? >> I know. Israel's invaded Lebanon. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like, just stop. Like, what do you need? Well, they're trying to supposedly, they're trying to stop the terrorists. Yeah, that's crazy though if you're the terrorist. >> [laughter] >> You know what I'm saying? Like, if you want to stop them, stand in front of the mirror. Yeah. And start there.

I agree with that statement wholeheartedly. Where is the lie? And rather than address what Theo Von had to say there, Ben Shapiro went out of his way to attack anyone who dare say a favorable word about Theo Von. So, apparently Vice President J.D. Vance recently stated that he enjoys Theo Von's podcast and Ben Shapiro was not happy about that. That's very bad. So, let's hear more of Shapiro's thoughts alongside uh a piece of the viral clip uh that we mentioned earlier.

Theo Von is a low-IQ conspiracist. He has himself routinely propped up Candace Owens. Now, of course, Theo Von's half-assed conspiracism doesn't end there. Of course, here he was recently with Joe Rogan spewing out mind vomit. People are like, "We'll elect the Democrats next time." It's like, but it's all the same has been happening forever. They haven't been helping anybody forever. They're letting politicians slurp on kids. All of our money goes to Israel and they're using it to genocide people. It's like, everybody is scared out of their wits right now. It's like, our religious leaders are afraid to speak out and and it's like the it's a time where it's like Satan is amongst us and our religious leaders are talking about bull bull It's just like, what is going I don't know, man. >> get you off those Xanax, President Son. You're losing your marbles. You think I am? >> Come hang out with us. Just chill out. >> I'm here. And Theo Von is basically just a Bernie Sanders leftist who does not like the censorious impulses of the left and engages in all the same conspiracy theories and of course is good friends with Candace Owens and all the rest of it. And that's the guy that the vice president thinks that everybody should should listen to.

Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
