Joe Biden gained office by promising to return America to normalcy, but his radicalism has

him shredding water at the 100-day mark. The Oscars prove again that Hollywood hates you.

And Alexander Ocasio-Cortez doesn't seem all that unhappy with kids in cages at the border

anymore. Weird. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

Slash, Ben, we'll get to all the news in just one moment.

First, a quick reminder, we are now spending more money than has ever been spent by any government in human history.

A few quick notes on the Oscars. So it is perfectly clear at this point that Hollywood despises its own audience, despises it. So every so often, they will make you, you know, a hundred million dollar movie. And that's the one that they give to you. And then there are the ones they do for them. And the ones they do for them, those are all the ones that are featured at the Oscars. You know, movies like Nomadland about elderly white people pooping in buckets,

or the father, about Anthony Hopkins struggling with dementia.

Movies like, like the movie about Fred Hampton, whose name escapes me at the moment,

about how the Black Panthers were going to be the saviors of the United States.

Or the other movie about how Black Panthers were going to be the saviors of the United States, written by Aaron Sorkin. Or maybe it's the Borat movie, which is

actually actively unfuny, militantly unfunny, but pushes all the right buttons for folks in

media land. Or maybe you're just super into all of the other movies that nobody has ever seen

that were nominated this year. It used to be that the Oscars would nominate for Best Picture, you know, movies that nobody has ever seen that were nominated this year.

It used to be that the Oscars would nominate for Best Picture, you know, movies the people had actually seen. I'm old enough to remember when the Dark Night got a Best Picture nomination.

And when Return of the King won Best Picture. No movies people had actually seen. And now,

Hollywood only rewards movies that no one has seen because they actively hate their audience. They think Americans are fools. They think Americans are dumbasses. They think that they can basically make money off of you by popping a Marvel movie out once in a while. And then they use that money to make the movies that really make them feel artistic. And all of those movies, of course, are critiques of the evils of America. All those movies are critiques of America's health care system, like the one about the drummer who goes deaf, right, which is really a critique of America's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad health care system. Or the movie about how difficult it is to be an Asian American immigrants in the United States, Minari about the difficulties of the American dream. Every movie is this. Every single movie that was nominated this year is essentially about the evils of the United States in one way or another. Because that's what they think of you. It's not even what they think of the system. That's what they think of their own audience. Hollywood despises its own audience. And they are living in a bubble where they get to live off the fruit of the land or they never have to see the consequences of their own policies, where they get to live the high life. And that's what the Oscars represent is how in a bubble these folks are. I mean, truly, insanely in a bubble. How big is that bubble? Well, for example, according to the post-millennial, there were walls actively erected outside the Academy of Wars to protect the Hollywood elite.

Quote, security fencing was erected around the perimeter of Union Station in downtown L.A. on Sunday to provide protection for the Hollywood Elite and their Academy Award ceremony.
