All right, well, here we are. It is a Thursday. We are nearing the end of the week. We're almost there, folks. We've made it through the first work week of 2016 together. And we're going to talk about President Obama's weepy fest a little more, how the left has gone. Absolutely bananas over this thing and why they're giant cynical douchebags. And we're also going to talk about Donald Trump's attack on Ted Cruz's eligibility for the presidency

and why I think he's being cynical. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro.

I tend to demonize people who don't care about your feeling.

Okay, well, as you recall, President Obama just a few days ago, he did his gun control presser.

Tonight, he is supposed to do his town hall event with Anderson Cooper, which will be an absolute testosterone-filled masculinity fest.

And President Obama a few days ago, he does his press conference, and in the middle of talking about how he wants more gun control, you know, the kind of gun control he didn't do in his executive orders but pretended to do, he breaks down in tears. For those who missed it, here's the President of the

United States doing his model and crying routine. And as I said yesterday, the more I see this,

the more I think that this is manipulation, that I don't think that this is authentic. I really

feel. Now, when I say that, actors feel what they feel when they are actually in the moment crying. Okay, if you're an actor, and if they've ever talked to an actor, actors can generate emotion in themselves that generates tears. It's not like a physical manipulation. It's not like they know how to make their tear ducts well up in some weird or well-y in way. That's not how it works. Actors get to an emotional place. They work themselves up emotionally, and then they cry. So when I say this is insincere, what I mean is that this is planned. The feelings are sincere, but it's planned. So he's really sad and he's really upset. But I don't know whether he's thinking about whether his dog died or the kids in Sandy Hook. Maybe he is thinking about the kids of Sandy Hook. The bottom line is this was a manipulation specifically put into his press conference so that we

could have the following logic from the left. Obama cries because he is a pure glowing angel.

He loves children. He's better than you because you're not crying. He's better than the parents.

The parents aren't even crying. They're standing behind him not crying.

He's the greatest, he's Mother Teresa.

He has the greatest, biggest heart, this demigod. And if you are not crying with him, that's because you don't have the heart that he does. And his heart means that we should listen to him on everything else, and we should not fear him. We should embrace him. and then if you say, well, this seems a little bit

manipulative and a little bit manipulated for me, then they say, no, no, no, see, now you're

callous. You're just proving our point, because you don't understand the deep wells of emotion

that spring from his gut and from his mind. This is the idea. So here's President Obama

crying, and then we'll get to all of the response to President Obama crying.
