Shapiro Angry with Tucker

Saw this on Greenwald's YouTube Channel 12 min long

Summary - I have never seen Ben Shapiro this angry. If I'm being honest, this makes me question who Ben feels a primary allegiance toward: Israel or the US. I don't see him, and have never seen him, this angry about things in the US, even though there is an obvious effort to destroy this nation right now. I'm curious if he burned a bridge with Tucker, since part of his rant included insults.

Glenn's comments
- Tucker's basic argument is that Hamas' actions are reprehensible and Israel has a right to respond. However, that does not mean this becomes an American war and that it doesn't mean that an attack on Israel is an attack on the US.

- Plays a clip of Tucker's comments. Tucker says that wisdom and long term thinking are absent and he plays a clip from Nikki equating this with an attack on the US. Nikki says to "finish them" and Tucker calls her a child. Then he plays a clip of Lindsey with the same general message, even saying that if Hezbollah attacks then the US should attack Iran. Then later Graham seemed to remove that qualifier and just advocated going after Iran. Graham is asked "you'd want to bomb Iran even in the absence of direct evidence they were involved in this attack?" and Graham responds, "Yeah". Graham thinks we are beyond the need for direct evidence, meaning the pretext for attacking Iran is already established.

- Glenn plays clip of Tucker assailing Graham, and Tucker comments about Crenshaw as well who had similar comments as Graham.

- Then Glenn plays comments from Shapiro, who was outraged. Shapiro is immediately snarky as he gives running commentary on Tucker's comments (my comment: the opening snark was a good indicator of what was to come). Tucker says people are not as animated about the 100,000 Americans killed due to the border, and Shapiro tries to dispute that and says people are on bullhorns about it all the time. (my comment: I think Shapiro's anger essentially exposes Tucker's comments as well as his general point, as true)

Shapiro says Tucker is trying to minimize what happened in Israel. Ben begins frothing at the mouth saying that border related deaths are not like the terror acts in Israel. (my comment - in one respect I see Ben's point, but the totality in number is also an important aspect, as well as the simplicity of the solution, of just securing the border, not to mention the fact that the border causes more death and terror than just the drug-related deaths).

- Glenn chimes in and points out another issue is that Israel is a foreign country and a great distinction here is talking about America and Americans v talking about people from a foreign nation.

- Glenn plays more of Ben, who gets angrier, and says that Tucker's position is idiocy and stupidity. It's just non-stop anger sprinkled with some insults from Ben. (my comment: I'm curious if Ben may have burned a bridge with Tucker)
