Ep. 2402 - NOTE TO AMERICA-HATERS: Sorry, We’re Busy Kicking A**

In this high-octane episode of The Ben Shapiro Show, Shapiro delivers a blistering defense of President Trump's aggressive military campaign against Iran, framing it as a necessary and morally justified effort to dismantle a tyrannical theocracy. He celebrates the Artemis II mission as proof of America's enduring greatness, contrasting it with Iran's collapse—both military and economic—highlighting the U.S. and Israeli strikes that have crippled Iran’s navy, air force, missile capabilities, and nuclear infrastructure. Shapiro argues that Iran’s desperation is evident in its use of AI-generated videos of its comatose supreme leader and its call for children to serve as human shields. He refutes accusations of war crimes, emphasizing that targeting dual-use infrastructure like power plants and bridges is lawful under international law if justified by military necessity. Shapiro condemns critics—including Tucker Carlson and progressive media—for undermining U.S. strength, accusing them of promoting a 'demoralization effort' to weaken America and cede global power to China and Russia. He also attacks the Democratic Party’s leftward shift, ridiculing New York City’s racial equity plan as absurd and anti-capitalist, and praises the expansion of Daily Wire’s live news show, Wired and Live, as a sign of the outlet’s growing influence. The episode culminates in a call to action for listeners to support the platform and reject what Shapiro calls the 'America-haters' who want the U.S. to retreat from global leadership.
