And here we are. It is Wednesday. You've made it halfway through the first work week of 2016, and Hillary is working it with Chris Matthews. His tangle has now extended all the way up his leg, past his thigh, and into regions that we can't discuss here. We'll talk about all of that. Plus, are you a doomsday conservative? You might be and you don't even know it. I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is the Benchic Saturday. Tend to demonize people who don't care about your feelings.

So in the aftermath of President Obama's big weepy fest yesterday, there's a lot of commentary.

We did some of it about whether it was genuine or not.

The more I think about it, the less genuine it feels. I just don't buy the idea of any major

politician breaking down in tears at their first big press conference of the year. He comes back.

Every camera's on him. It's going to be the most watched press conference. Probably he's had

all year, or at least until some big world disaster happens that's his fault and he goes back on him. It's going to be the most watched press conference. Probably he's had all year, or at least until some big world disaster happens that's his fault and he goes back on camera. But he comes back and it's a planned routine and halfway through, he breaks down. And as we showed yesterday, he doesn't just break down. He waits for the cameras to click for a solid five to ten seconds. And then he sort of wipes away the tears, brushes them away, and continues going. This is an old actor trick. This is nothing new. And forgive me for being a little bit cynical, but this is the way that the media play this game. The way the media play this game is Obama, he says that he's going to, he cries so that he can condemn you as callous, because you're not crying and he is. That means he's more sensitive than you, right? He's playing the same trick that my wife sometimes plays when we're in a fight, which is he starts to cry. And then because he's crying, that means you lose the argument. That's really President Obama's routine because obviously he hurts more than you do, which means you're a worse person than he is. And then if you say, well, I don't really buy this whole routine. Like Captain, you know, Spock over here, Captain, Captain Logic, Captain Rational, no drama, Obama, breaks down in tears at his first press conference, I don't buy it. You say that? And then the media says, well, now you're for sure, callous, because you don't even buy that people have feelings. You don't even buy that he has feelings. He has feelings. Okay,

I know he has feelings. I just don't think that those were the feelings, okay? I think that he has

feelings of hatred for Republicans. I think that he is fighting mad over gun owners, but I don't think

that President Obama walks around every day crying about the kids of Sandy Hook gun owners, but I don't think that President Obama walks around

every day crying about the kids of Sandy Hook. Forgive me, I don't think that's what he does,

because if he did that, he would be in the throes of an actual clinical depression. I don't think

that people go about their business every day thinking about all the tragedies that happen all

over the world and randomly break down in tears. That's a sign of mental deterioration and non-health. I don't think Obama is mentally unhealthy, at least in that way.

So we'll start with that. President Obama, he does his crying routine. And then, just coincidentally,

he has a big town hall that is going to take place tomorrow on CNN, where he and Anderson Cooper will have a

testosterone fest, and they'll have a testosterone fest about gun control. And then Hillary Clinton

had her big interview with Chris Matthews. Now, when Hillary Clinton wants to trot out any sort of

real proposal, when she wants to boost her image among folks on the left, she goes over to Chris

Matthews, that must over to Chris Matthews,

that musts me say, Chris Matthews, the guy who rolls out of bed and he's got his hair all askew and his suit is all must. And there's sort of charm to that because he looks like a homeless guy from the 1950s, right? Not a homeless guy now, like a homeless guy from the 50s when everyone tried to dress up and look cool. he looks like a homeless guy who kind of rolled in off the wanted ads and they stuck him in the middle of the set and just said, okay, film is showing. Okay, I'm here now. Maybe that was the alcohol. Any alcohol at all? I don't know that he's a drinker. He might be a teetotaler for all I know. That's just my description of how he comes off. And you'll see it. And here, he is drunk with love for Hillary Clinton.
