| 0:00.0 | Here we are, it is a Tuesday, and Donald Trump continues to dominate the headlines. |
| 0:04.6 | Plus, we have to get to me making fun of Mathis later. |
| 0:08.3 | It's been far too long since I've made fun of Mathis. |
| 0:10.6 | I'm Ben Shapiro. |
| 0:11.3 | This is the Ben Shapiro. |
| 0:12.3 | Tend to demonize people who don't care about your feelings. |
| 0:19.9 | Okay, so here we are. |
| 0:21.7 | And I want to start today by talking a little bit about why people support Donald Trump. |
| 0:26.8 | And I know I've been talking about Trump nonstop, but that's because Trump is dominating the headlines. |
| 0:30.9 | Tomorrow night, there's supposed to be a town hall event with Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. |
| 0:35.2 | Originally, it was supposed to include Donald Trump. |
| 0:54.4 | Trump canceled, and instead he went across the way to MSNBC. He's going to be counter-programming with his own town hall with MSNBC, because this is what Trump does, and it's a smart media play. This is what he's very good at.

And if you don't believe it, you better kill me now because I'll put a jihad on you too. And the terrorist turns to him and says, |
| 1:35.6 | I like you. You have bars. I like balls. And that clip, along with what I'm about to show you, |
| 1:40.8 | sum up the Donald Trump phenomenon. So from the Goodfellas, if you recall in the Goodfellas, |
| 1:47.1 | Joe Pesci, who is one of the most frightening characters ever to play on screen, Joe Pesci, who actually is a guy who apparently is mobbed up. He plays a guy named Tommy. And there's a very famous scene from Goodfellas. If you've never seen the movie, it's a real guy movie. It's not something that most women are into. There's a select group of women who like this movie. My wife, though, for example, would despise this movie. But there's one moment |
| 2:01.1 | that sort of sums up who this Tommy character is, this Joe Pesci character, and let's play it. |
