Hillary Clinton is back. She announced on Tuesday that she takes responsibility for losing the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump. Well, sort of. According to the newly defanged former Democratic leader, she takes, quote, absolute personal responsibility for her laws. But she adds that, quote, I was on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28th and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubt to the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me and got scared off. If the election had been on October 27th, I would be your president. But aside from that, she takes responsibility. She also added that places that didn't vote for her couldn't get, quote, sell coverage for a mile. Um, no. What does she have going on next? She says, I'm now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance.

0:37.9

Really? What exactly is she resisting? Is this rogue one? She dragged her party down almost single-handed in the last election cycle.

0:45.0

Now she wants to be part of the cool kids crowd again. This is precisely what's wrong with Hillary Clinton and what her husband understood.

0:51.0

You can't hijack a popular movement with which you had nothing to do. Bernie Sanders,

0:55.1

maybe. Hillary Clinton, no. But perhaps Hillary still has 20-20 ambitions. Those rumors are still

1:00.2

floating out there, and right now the three leading 2020 candidates for the Democrats are all

1:03.9

around her age. Elizabeth Warren, who's a young 67, Joe Biden, who's 74 years old, and Bernie

1:09.1

Sanders, who's 75 years old. She is a youthful 69. What's to stop her from running again? Herein lies the problem for the Democrats. All of their top names are old fogies with no youth appeal other than the geriatrics, nutso socialist, who isn't technically a Democrat. Their youth movement, however, has no exact target. It's just a lot of people angry about a lot of different things, is complaining aboutils of patriarchal heterosexual, heterosexual, heterosexist cis normative society. Hillary cannot lead

1:30.7

that bunch. Republicans should be very excited to see Hillary back in play, just so they should

1:35.1

be excited that Barack Obama is making a comeback. Obama and Hillary helped raise a generation

1:39.6

of Democrats. Now they'll salt the earth. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

1:47.4

So the talk of the town yesterday was Jimmy Kimmel late night, and he was telling a story about his son. He has a newborn son who tragically has a heart condition. And he was brought to Children's Hospital. He had to have emergency heart surgery. I guess he was born maybe at Children's Hospital, or at least they transferred him over there. And Jimmy Kimmel tells this story, and then he turns into a pitch for Obamacare. And I want to talk about this because I have some personal thoughts on the matter. A little over a week ago on Friday, April 21st, my wife, Molly, gave birth to a boy, a baby boy, and he appeared to be a normal,

3:44.6

healthy baby, until about three hours after he was born.

3:47.6

When a very attentive nurse at Cedar Sinai Hospital, her name is Nunush, was checking
