Chapter 1: What does Barack Obama want to reclaim after the Trump era?
Barack Obama was a horrible president, a terrible radical, and the best liar in modern American history, bar none. Because while Barack Obama promoted the most radical policies, racial polarization, socialization of the healthcare system, surrender abroad, abortion, trans-radicalism here at home, Then he was defeated by Donald Trump.
There would be no Donald Trump era without the far left insanity of the Obama era. So we tend to think of Trump as the defeat of Barack Obama. But what if the Obama era is just beginning again? What if Donald Trump defeating Obamaism was not return of the Jedi? It was a new hope. Sure, President Trump blew up the Obama death star in 2016.
But what if Barack Obama is back and building a newer, larger, more powerful death star? What if what comes next in this story is the Obama empire striking back? Well, that's not what if. That is the reality. Barack Obama and his radical boys are taking over the Democratic Party. They are radical. They are vicious. And yes, they are incredibly talented. And yes, they can win.
That's what comes next in this story if we don't stop it. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. So Barack Obama has been back in the headlines a lot recently. You'll remember that he went and read books to children with Zoran Mamdani. And then he sat down with The Late Show, with CBS, with Stephen Colbert. And, you know, they were jokey jokey because this is what you do.
The thing about Obama is that he is wildly talented, so unbelievably talented that every Democratic politician since the Obama era has lived under Obama's shadow. He is charming and he is kind of avuncular in his approach. And here he was with Stephen Colbert.
I'm looking for a new gig soon. Uh-huh. And a lot of people tell me I should run for president. Well, you certainly have the look. Thank you very much. You have the hair. Well, for the record, I think it's a stupid idea. How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president?
Well, you know, the bar has changed.
That is true. At times, subterranean. I don't have to limbo so low?
Let me put it this way.

Chapter 2: How has Obama's influence shaped the Democratic Party's direction?
And not have a bunch of gobbledygook around it.
Now, again, look at what Obama is doing here. Look at what he's doing here. He says, Zoran Mamdani is just a normal politician who wants to, you know, like just fight for affordable housing. That is not true. Zoran Mamdani is an open socialist, an open socialist who openly sympathizes with terror groups. That's who Zoran Mamdani is.
And Barack Obama is hugging him and saying that he's just normal democratic. He's not worried about the gap between the liberals and the left. Why? Because Zoran Mamdani, Barack Obama, they are the same. They are the same. Barack Obama is just more talented at hiding who he is and who he was. Barack Obama and Mamdani, very, very similar characters.
Obama was like Mamdani, a person caught between two worlds. He thought of himself simultaneously as from America and also from outside America. If you read his original memoir, he's written about 20 of them at this point, but if you read his original memoir, Dreams from My Father, he talks about his identity conflict between being an American growing up in Hawaii and his father's
past in Kenya his African identity his his identity as a black man but also as a person raised by white parents white grandparents and what this amounts to in the end is a sort of third worldist philosophy he best summarizes this in dreams for my father here's what he wrote in dreams for my father I still think this is the most revealing paragraph that Barack Obama ever wrote quote
I know I have seen the desperation and disorder of the powerless, how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago's South side. How narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair.
I know that the response of the powerful to this disorder, alternating as it does between a dull complacency and when the disorder spills out of its prescribed confines, a steady unthinking application of force of longer prison sentences and more sophisticated military hardware is inadequate to the task. OK, now I know that's a little fancy.
What he is saying there is just that every poor person on planet Earth in America and outside America, lays at the foot of American capitalism and imperialism. That is what he is saying. That the desperation and disorder of the powerless should be laid at the feet of the powerful. This has been the guiding philosophy of Barack Obama for his entire career.
That somehow America is guilty of all of these crimes, and it is indistinguishable from the radical leftism of Issaan Mamdani. And Obama has always been radical. He's always been radical. The reason I'm saying all of this, by the way, is not because I wish to just rip on Barack Obama. The reason is because Barack Obama is reclaiming the leadership position of the Democratic Party.

Chapter 3: What role does Zoran Mamdani play in the current political landscape?
And that just continued its decline to a low in 2021 for black adults of 32%, 33%. Okay, that was under Barack Obama. That is when the drop happened in the first place. That's when it happened. That happened for a reason. He was racially polarizing. Barack Obama attacked businesses. He threatened them with the power of the populist pitchfork.
He literally said to bank CEOs in 2009 that he was the only thing standing between them and the pitchforks and the torches. On the foreign policy front, Barack Obama revitalized the Iranian regime with billions of dollars in cash and a clear pathway to a nuke. Barack Obama let Russia have its way in Ukraine and, yes, in Syria. He let China expand its power base throughout the world.
He, quote unquote, led from behind. And then through the power of the mainstream media, Barack Obama made you forget all of that because the media decided Barack Obama was a messianic figure and they would never criticize him. The way you probably remember Barack Obama right now is the guy who was, you know, not that bad. I mean, not compared to like Zoran Mandani or Ilhan Omar or AOC.
The media are still pretending his administration was scandal-free. They cover for his failures. They explain away his lies. They pretend that he is some sort of philosopher king instead of the architect of the modern radical left. But here is the thing. There is no Zoran without Obama. There is no Ilhan Omar without Obama. There is no AOC without Obama.
They are all Barack Obama's ideological children. He is proud of them. He wants the Democratic Party to be more radical because he always wanted the Democratic Party to be more radical. This is Barack Obama with his ideological child right here preaching to the kiddies. Barack Obama with Mom Donnie.
And now Barack Obama is going to make all that happen because this is not just tracing the history of how we got here. This is what happens next. This is what happens next. OK, Obama, Mamdani, they're the same. And now Obama is going to Mamdani the entire Democratic Party top down. He architected the Democratic Party between 2008 and 2016. And now he's taking control again. The Democratic Party.
I know it feels like they're in disarray. It feels like they have no leadership. They are not, in fact, rudderless. Obama is and has been the single most radical active driver in his party. He did not go away. He's not like George W. Bush where he was president and then he went away. He has been active and he's going to get more active.
He is a master at shifting ideological goalposts without being noticed, cloaking his radicalism as some form of moderation. And again, the key to all of this, the reason that Obama is particularly threatening is because one, he's an excellent organizer, and two, he's the single most creative and convincing liar in modern American history.
Now, I know there are a lot of people who are Democrats listening to this show and say, ah, Donald Trump lies all the time. Donald Trump does say things that are not true. He does lie, but he is not nearly as good at it as Barack Obama because Barack Obama has magicked many, many Americans into believing that somehow he was a Clintonian figure

Chapter 4: How does Barack Obama frame the Trump era in his narrative?
That means the moderates. No, he was never moderate. He was never moderate. And this is why you ended up with Donald Trump, because Obama was not moderate. And now he's sweeping back in. That's what comes next. The modern Democratic Party is fully in line with this sort of stuff. So as we pointed out yesterday, there were quasi riots outside a New York City synagogue.
The New York City government decided that was totally fine to hold a quasi riot outside the synagogue because after all, what they were protesting was Jews buying land in Israel. And these rioters don't particularly like some of the places that Jews are buying land, namely Jewish cities like Efrat and Nevedaniel. Here's what that looked like in New York.
Right, people confronting the cops, people wearing the keffiyehs. Hey, Zoran Mamdani was asked about this and he defended the sacrosanct right to protest. I do not think he would feel the same way if people started protesting outside mosques.
Actually, I'm old enough to remember because I'm more than a couple of months old when Zoran Mamdani condemned people protesting against radical Islam at a rally outside the mayoral mansion where a radical Islamic terrorist tried to throw a Molotov cocktail like an IED into the crowd. Here's Mamdani.
We in this city believe in the sacrosanct nature of the right to protest and also are committed to ensuring that any New Yorker can safely enter or exit from a house of worship and that access never be in question while we also protect the First Amendment.
I do not believe you. I do not believe you. John Fetterman, the only sane Democrat left, apparently, put out a tweet. Mob of pro-Hizbullah Hamas bleep heads raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the New York City Jewish community near a synagogue and daycare. Where's my party's condemnation? I mean, I assume in the same place as the Democratic Party's willingness to moderate.
Meanwhile, New York State Senate candidate, Abar Kawas, she said that she was protesting with a Hamas headband. Apparently, she was not, but she had to debunk it.
One that the right is already obsessed with, an absurd claim that I held the Hamas flag at a protest a decade ago. It's BS. It was actually a scarf printed with the Shahada, a common religious symbol, like the cross or Star of David. And it's everywhere. It's a statement of faith, and standing up for justice has always been part of my faith.
So in any case, it looks like a headband, not a scarf. But this also happens to be a person. Again, she is a New York Democratic State Senate candidate. She is a person who says that 9-11 was a manifestation of capitalism, racism, white supremacy and Islamophobia.

Chapter 5: How does the episode address the state of race relations in America?
He says our Chinese friends also believe that Iran after the war is different from Iran before the war.
It has proven its capabilities and strength. Therefore, a new phase of cooperation between Iran
And other countries lies ahead. Well, certainly not in the Middle East. I assume he just means a closer relationship between Iran and China, which demonstrates once again why Iran is a threat, because China is a threat. And meanwhile, Democrats trying to claim that we are losing the war.
Democratic Representative Seth Moulton, who should know better from Massachusetts, he says that we're losing the war in Iran. Iran has way more leverage than they had at the beginning when we were just trying to negotiate a nuclear deal with them. Now Trump's trying to reopen this trade as well. And I don't think that either is going to come on great terms for the United States.
This is a loss for us. And that's how dangerous this war has been.
This is as in we have lost this war?
We're certainly losing it right now on almost every measure. You know, regime change has gotten us a more hard-line regime. We destroyed some of their ballistic missiles, but given them billions and billions of dollars by lifting oil sanctions so they can buy more. We clearly have not obliterated their nuclear program, and we're in a far worse position than Obama was with the Iran nuclear deal.
I mean, that is not true in the slightest. We have significantly degraded their ballistic missile capacity and their manufacturing capacity. We have destroyed their economic power. We still have a blockade on their oil.
The best they can do is try to hold shipping up in the Strait of Hormuz that is gradually being opened by the United States anyway, which is why a new Harvard-Harris poll suggests that 74% of respondents say that the United States is winning the war, which happens to be the truth. That is correct.
