Chapter 1: What are Donald Trump's most memorable moments?

0.031 - 12.39 Ben Shapiro

All right, folks, so today we're going to go through President Trump's top eight moments, his most memorable moments for good or for ill, mostly for good. We're going to rank them and then we'll see how you believe our rankings went.

0

13.031 - 23.507 Donald Trump

No, get those lights off. They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. You are fake news. I'll kiss every guy, man and woman, man and woman. Look at that guy, how handsome he is.

0

23.858 - 58.281 Ben Shapiro

So this does not make the top eight Trump moments, but of course this was iconic Trump stuff. You'll remember in 2016, he walks out basically WWE style through the mist. I mean, full scale WWE stuff here, right? That was Donald Trump after winning the nomination. Yeah, we all remember that. And at the time, pretty much everybody, myself included, thought, no way, man. No way. And way.

0

58.983 - 63.556 Ben Shapiro

Number eight, most memorable Trump moment. His speech on January 6th.

0

63.576 - 64.699 Donald Trump

We will give up.

65.05 - 80.835 Ben Shapiro

Now, I will say, I do not think this was his best moment because, of course, I oppose the things he was saying between the election of 2020 and January 6th. They've been diced and sliced a thousand ways at this point. He did say here that he wanted people to peacefully protest. He did not say that he wanted people to riot.

81.255 - 101.22 Donald Trump

We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved. Our country has had enough. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.

101.701 - 119.256 Ben Shapiro

Now, again, was that his finest moment? I obviously think not. Was it an iconic moment? Hard to imagine that it wasn't. Number seven. So you remember during the BLM riots that rioters decided to burn down a church or set on fire a church near the White House.

119.316 - 146.761 Ben Shapiro

And so he walked out there with a Bible to point out that actually he was very much opposed to people burning down churches or setting fire to churches in the name of wokeness. Of course, people were very upset by this, much more than the people setting fire to the church they were upset with President Trump for standing out there with the Bible.

Chapter 2: What was Trump's speech on January 6th about?

212.673 - 235.845 Ben Shapiro

Okay, so again, Jim Acosta. Ladies, find you a person who loves you like Jim Acosta loves Jim Acosta. Jim Acosta trying to badger the president, the president not backing down. Of course, that is iconic Trump stuff. All right, number five. So here is President Trump debating Joe Biden in the debate that ended Joe Biden's campaign and political career.

0

235.925 - 247.1 Ben Shapiro

He was the sitting president, you'll remember, at the time. And President Trump ended him with this one line that totally ended the election.

0

247.14 - 264.448 Unknown

I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum officers. President Trump? I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either.

0

268.377 - 281.361 Ben Shapiro

Oh man, it's too good. It's too good. I mean, he was saying what we were all thinking. President Trump, the voice of the audience always. Okay, this one I think might be my personal favorite. So while I'm ranking it number four, it might be my personal favorite because it is the finest of Trump.

0

281.381 - 288.666 Donald Trump

He walks up in front of the entire world at midnight and just goes... Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead.

289.067 - 308.122 Ben Shapiro

Shane Gillis does a rendition of this, and it's not as good as the original. So you remember that the United States military took out Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was the leader of ISIS, and Baghdadi was killed in a tunnel. We had released dogs. I call it a dog. A beautiful dog. And the president dunked on him.

308.382 - 313.394 Ben Shapiro

And I will never love, I think, another clip of President Trump more than I love this clip of President Trump.

313.414 - 321.25 Donald Trump

He died like a dog. He died like a coward. The world is now a much safer place.

321.51 - 338.462 Ben Shapiro

Ah, the best of Trump. I love he died like a dog. Ah, so good. Here's the thing. If you own a business, you probably have no idea how many brokers it actually takes to insure it. That is a huge problem. You have policies scattered everywhere, applications that keep asking for the same information, no real picture of how it all fits together when something goes wrong.

Chapter 3: What happened during Trump's Bible photo op?

404.98 - 407.283 Unknown

Think Joe Biden would do this? I don't think so.

0

407.303 - 428.034 Ben Shapiro

You'll remember this is 2023. The iconic mugshot, one of the great mugshots of all time. Trump, dude knows how to do pictures, okay? He's been in TV for as long as he has been an adult. And so he knew going in that they were going to do a mugshot of him when they decided to arrest him for Atlanta election interference or whatever the dumb charge that Fannie Willis brought him up on was.

0

428.935 - 450.142 Ben Shapiro

And there it is hanging on the wall. The White House, fuck it. That mugshot was the thing that won him the primaries. If Democrats had not been so addicted to trying to prosecute President Trump, maybe they don't face him again in the 2024 election, but they had to arrest him. They had to get the mugshot. Boy, did that backfire. Massive historic backfire by the Democrats right there.

450.582 - 469.282 Ben Shapiro

Number two, one of the great Trumps of all time. Again, you should be ashamed of yourself. Debating Hillary Clinton, who is widely perceived to have been the front runner. This is another one of those things where it's fascinating. If you go back in history, and you listen to talk about the Nixon-JFK debate. People who listened on the radio thought Nixon cleaned JFK.

469.302 - 475.247 Ben Shapiro

People who watched it thought JFK cleaned Nixon. I remember watching this debate live and thinking, I'm not sure that Trump is doing amazing in this debate.

475.688 - 491.502 Ben Shapiro

He's not killing Hillary in terms of his knowledge, but because we live in a meme world, and because we live in a world in which 15-second soundbites can decide the day, this one-liner in October 2016, it turns out that this was the gold line for President Trump.

491.6 - 500.915 Unknown

It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country. Because you'd be in jail. Secretary Clinton.

Chapter 4: How did Trump redefine the term 'fake news'?

531.442 - 562.547 Ben Shapiro

It is probably the most iconic political moment of any of our lifetimes. President Trump being shot in the ear, man behind him killed by an assassin, and President Trump gets up and shouts, fight, fight, fight. So I remember I was actually Shabbating at this time. This happened on a Saturday. And I heard in the middle of the afternoon that someone had tried to kill the president.

0

562.847 - 576.005 Ben Shapiro

First question, of course, was, is he okay? And of course he was. I didn't get to see this image until after Shabbat. What an iconic image. I mean, that image is, again, that is the Trump image. The Trump image. Nothing will surpass it. Nothing will overcome it.

0

576.405 - 594.967 Ben Shapiro

Most iconic moment, not only for President Trump, but probably for any president in my lifetime, this image of President Trump, blood smeared across his face. from an assassin's bullet that nicked him in the ear. Again, if he turns his head, half would agree he's dead and American history is different. Instead, he survives and he's the president again.
