BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): But the president in going after Democrats over all this saying they're undermining the war, he is right about that. There's no question. They're just repeating propaganda that is being put out there by the Iranian government itself, like literally doing that. Chris Murphy, for example, Senate Democrat from Connecticut, there's a piece of fake news, it was not true, about Iranian tankers continuing to transit the Strait of Hormuz. And he literally tweeted back awesome. I mean, that's literal Iranian propaganda, and he's tweeting awesome to it. So when I say they're mirroring Iranian propaganda, I literally mean they're mirroring Iranian propaganda. Meanwhile, representative Adam Smith of Washington says that Iran is somehow more truthful than the White House, which is a weird take. It's a weird take to say about the leading terrorist sponsor on planet Earth, but Democrats hate Trump so much, and they believe so much in a grievance about the United States that they're willing to even make common cause with the Iranians.

SHAPIRO: So, that is ridiculous, but Democrats are increasingly ridiculous and hysterical here. This, of course, includes people like Mehdi Hasan, who was for many years a Qatari mouthpiece at Al-Jazeera. He says that we are on the verge of nuclear armageddon. No, we're not. No, we're not. Like, he doesn't believe that. If he were, he'd be in a bunker.
