BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): It should be mentioned, by the way, that we are also much, much better than they are at breaking things and much, much more moral than the people that we are targeting in terms of the Iranian regime.
A lot of Trump's critics today are pointing out this tragic incident with an Iranian school at which a 160 girls were killed. That is indeed tragic and it's terrible. And it's also called collateral damage in war.
It is unclear at this point whether the munitions were American or Iranian. We'll find out. Here is the point. Do you really believe that the Trump administration knew there were girls at a school and they decided to hit it with a Tomahawk? Do you really believe that? If you do, you hate not only Trump but America, truly. Because that is a scurrilous lie. Iran, by the way, would. If Iran had the ability to launch a cruise missile at an Israeli school filled with schoolgirls, they absolutely would hit it on purpose. They do it constantly.
