Chapter 2: How does President Trump plan to negotiate with Iran?

59.522 - 74.365 Ben Shapiro

Look, sheets don't just fail overnight. That's not how this works. There's no dramatic collapse, no single moment when the sheet starts to fall apart. It's incremental. Small signs you ignore until it's too late. The corners slip off, the fabric starts to get thinner and rougher, and suddenly you find yourself sweating through the night wondering why you can't stay comfortable.

74.606 - 92.068 Ben Shapiro

Here's the bottom line. You don't realize how bad your sheets have gotten until you actually replace them, which is why it's time to upgrade to our sponsor, Bull & Branch. If your sheets are pilling, thinning, won't stay put, or make you overheat, that is not normal aging of the sheets. That's a problem, and you can fix it with Bull & Branch. I love it. love Bull & Branch product.

Do you believe that Charlie Kirk was murdered by a conspiracy of malignant Israelis? Do you believe that Islamic tyrannies do an incredible job of building clean and robust cities?

0

136.065 - 145.7 Ben Shapiro

Do you think that America ought to emulate Russia? If so, do I have some podcast for you? You see, we now live in a world of panic, hysteria, and conspiratorial musing.

0

Chapter 4: What conspiracy theories are circulating in the right-wing media?

146.141 - 169.7 Ben Shapiro

In short, we live increasingly in an online insane asylum. And there are a lot of folks who make bank as the wardens. Would you like to escape the asylum? Just stick with me. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. Well, why don't we start with some facts? Because we're about to wade into a tide of people who don't know or don't care about the facts a lot.

0

169.72 - 198.632 Ben Shapiro

Well, here are the results of a brand new CBS poll among Republicans. Okay, here's the question. One, should America change Iran's leaders to ones that are pro-US? Republicans, 80% yes, 80%. Hey, how about this one? Should America make sure Iran's people are safe and free? 90% of Republicans say yes. By the way, so do 76% of independents and 74% of Democrats.

0

Chapter 5: Who is Byron Donalds and what are his political ambitions?

199.172 - 223.301 Ben Shapiro

How important is it? They say important. Is it unacceptable to end the conflict with the current regime in power? Well, overall, Americans say that it is not acceptable to leave the current regime in power by a margin of 53 to 47. 71% of Republicans agree, so do 51% of independents. How about whether people approve of military action against Iran?

0

223.321 - 243.129 Ben Shapiro

84% of Republicans say yes, compared to 16% who disapprove. And as it turns out, young Republicans are way more hawkish than they have been portrayed. There's a brand new poll from Sean Cooperman Research. And it finds that among conservatives age 30 and under, 61% support the war compared with 24% to oppose.

0

243.49 - 260.664 Ben Shapiro

35% of young conservatives believe that this operation benefits both Israel and the United States. And another 31% say it primarily serves America's interests. Only one in five say it serves only Israel's interests. And nearly seven in 10 are sympathetic to the importance of America's relationship with Israel.

0

261.506 - 266.454 Ben Shapiro

And yet, and yet, there is an increasingly large segment of the right that is now brain rotted.

Chapter 6: What challenges does Florida face as its population grows?

266.935 - 287.867 Ben Shapiro

This is not all critics of the war, obviously. There are plenty of legit concerns about the war in Iran. How will it end? Will there be lasting economic impact? What comes after? But the Brain Rock crew aren't asking those questions. They're asking different questions. Questions like, do the Jews control Donald Trump's brain? And also, did Israelis conspire to kill Charlie Kirk?

0

288.107 - 308.041 Ben Shapiro

And also, should we be more like Qatar? The Brain Rock crew are those who are advocating a weaker American role in the world. They're obsessed with conspiratorial views about America and, of course, about Israel and about Jews and about a lot of other stuff, including maybe the moon landing. Well, the brain rot right hero of the day is Joe Kent. You'll remember him.

0

308.302 - 314.452 Ben Shapiro

He resigned recently from his position as director of the National Center for Counterterrorism, supposedly over his opposition to the war.

0

Chapter 7: How does Byron Donalds plan to address affordability in Florida?

314.933 - 336.771 Ben Shapiro

The real reason it seems that he actually quit is because he was under investigation for leaking classified information. Now, there is well-founded suspicion it was Kent who was providing information to Candace Owens about Charlie Kirk's murder. As we have discussed, Andrew Colvett of TPUSA said yesterday he actually sent screenshots of conversations he had with Charlie Kirk to Joe Kent.

0

336.791 - 350.494 Ben Shapiro

And Joe Kent had then asked Colvett to release those same texts publicly. And Colvett said no. And then the same texts were released mysteriously by the most crazy conspiracist of our time, Candace Owens. Here is Andrew Colvett explaining this just the other day.

0

351.065 - 369.63 Andrew Colvett

The actual fact of the matter is that behind the scenes, we have given everything we know to give, every single piece of information. This was one of them. I was told I could trust Joe Kent. I provided the screen grabs to Joe Kent. And I don't know what happened to them at that point. I just want to make that very clear.

0

370.64 - 380.093 Andrew Colvett

Eventually, Joe did message me and suggest that I make those screen grabs public. I declined because those were shared privately.

0

Chapter 8: What is the future of U.S.-Iran relations according to Trump and Donalds?

380.113 - 403.384 Andrew Colvett

I didn't want to be reckless with them in the public. There could be innocent people on that group chat that would then be harmed. So I declined. But then, fast forward another week or two, and they were made public. So that's what I know, is that Joe suggested that they be made public. I declined, then they were made public. Can I 100% categorically say that he leaked them?

0

403.464 - 412.296 Andrew Colvett

No, but those are the facts. Maybe somebody on his team, maybe they got passed around, maybe somebody else leaked them, but those are the facts of the matter.

0

412.316 - 433.065 Ben Shapiro

Now, I'll be real about this. I do not believe that Joe Kenton leaked those texts to Candace Owens. After all, it is Candace Owens who routinely claims that she had inside intelligence sources in the government. And then back in October 2025, right shortly after Charlie's murder, she actually chided the FBI's Kash Patel for excluding Joe Ken from intelligence briefings. Here she was back then.

0

433.947 - 456.576 Candace Owens

Right. This is the headline that came out of the Daily Mail. Kash Patel shuts down Charlie Kirk foreign intelligence probe in an explosive feud with Trump's counterterror chief. It really makes you wonder what Kash Patel is hiding. There's absolutely no reason for Kash Patel to say, only I'm the person that's supposed to be looking into this. It makes no sense.

0

456.636 - 463.877 Candace Owens

If he is interested in solving Charlie Kirk's murder, then Kash Patel would be working with everyone.

465.46 - 477.553 Ben Shapiro

Now, call me suspicious, but I do not think that Candace Owens and Joe Kent are strangers. It would be similarly shocking if Joe Kent was not leaking to Tucker Carlson, who is one of his friends, and also, by the way, his first stop after leaving the government.

478.114 - 494.472 Ben Shapiro

Just a few days before, you'll recall, Carlson claimed he had inside information from the intelligence community about being targeted by the CIA. Hmm, where could that have come from? So many mysteries, so many enigmas. Well, so here's the thing about Joe Kent. He's not just allegedly a serial leaker. He's kind of a nut.

494.452 - 514.365 Ben Shapiro

He's not just a nut because he says that Israel bamboozled President Trump into attacking Iran and then just for good measure went to blame Israel for ISIS in Syria and also the original Gulf War and possibly the Korean War and maybe the War of 1812. He is a nut because he truly believes that Charlie Kirk may not have been shot by Tyler Robinson.

514.385 - 535.306 Ben Shapiro

That's the gay furry lover who absolutely 100% shot Charlie Kirk. It was Tyler Robinson's DNA that was found reportedly on a towel around the murder weapon, the rifle. A screwdriver recovered on the roof of the crime scene apparently had his DNA on it. His palm prints were reportedly found on the roof as well. He texted his furry boyfriend that he was involved with the shooting.
