In this podcast episode, Ben Shapiro discusses the recent events in the Gaza Strip, particularly the situation with the hospitals and the involvement of Hamas. Israel has taken control of the TC Hospital in the Gaza Strip, claiming that it had been used as a shield for Hamas's military operations. The Israel Defence Forces presented evidence of tunnels under the hospital, showing that it was being used for nefarious purposes.

The evidence presented by the defence forces includes tunnels with electricity, bulletproof doors, and cover tunnels. The hospital was found to have operational gear for Hamas, including explosives, vests with explosives, hand grenades, and RPGs. The evidence also showed that Hamas was using hospitals to hold hostages, as evidenced by the presence of diapers, a baby bottle, and a list of terrorists involved in operations against Israel.

The media's coverage of the situation has been criticized, with MSNBC and The New York Times accused of downplaying Hamas's war crimes and human rights violations. The media have focused on the supposed dire situation in the hospitals, while ignoring the fact that Hamas is using them as shields and violating international law.

The World Health Organization has also been implicated, as it was revealed that its resources ended up in the hands of Hamas, in violation of international law. Israel has offered to evacuate hospitals, but Hamas has refused, using the hospitals to launch attacks and hold hostages.

The Biden Administration has been criticized for attempting to curb Israel's efforts to destroy Hamas, with President Biden expressing concerns about Israel's actions. The administration's actions have been seen as caving to pressure from the left, with members of the Democratic caucus openly threatening to abandon the administration if it does not put pressure on Israel.

The left's support for Hamas has been evident, with Democratic Congressional staff members expressing disagreement with their bosses and the Biden Administration on the issue. Vice President Harris has stated that people have a right to protest and that their voices should be heard, despite the violent and anti-Semitic nature of some of the protests.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has acknowledged dissent within the State Department over the administration's policy on Israel and the war in Gaza, stating that they are listening to those who disagree with their approach.

Ben Shapiro criticizes the response from the State Department, particularly the letter written by Anthony Blinken, in which he addresses the suffering caused by the crisis and encourages feedback and ideas from the department. Shapiro expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of this approach and suggests that it is an attempt to buy off the younger cohort of the Democratic Party.

The conversation then shifts to the situation in Skokie, Illinois, a diverse suburb with a large Jewish and Muslim population. Shapiro highlights the tensions that have arisen in the community, including bomb threats at a synagogue, student protests in support of Palestinians, and the defacement of yard signs expressing support for Israel. He criticizes the media for focusing on the tensions without addressing the root causes of the conflict.

The podcast also delves into domestic politics, specifically the actions of the Supreme Court. Shapiro discusses the recent issuance of ethics rules by Chief Justice John Roberts, in response to reports of undisclosed trips and other favors that sparked criticism of the justices. He questions the effectiveness of a self-binding code and suggests that it may be used to further undermine the legitimacy of the court.

Throughout the podcast, Shapiro provides commentary and analysis on each topic, offering his perspective on the issues at hand. He raises questions about the motivations and implications of various actions, and highlights the complexities of international conflicts and domestic politics.
