BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): Again, the leaks that are happening to The New York Times are happening for a reason. They're happening for a reason. People leak to the media in order to obtain a political result. If the goal is to undermine President Trump's credibility, if the goal is to undermine the more hawkish side of the Trump administration and to undermine President Trump's foreign policy, that's the goal, and you should all see the goal because leaks don't happen in a vacuum. They don't magically appear. A leak to the media is not like a leak in your shower head. It is a deliberate attempt to undermine the foreign policy of the president of the United States. That's what it is. Or it is leaked by the president of the United States. You can tell this ain't from the president. You can tell. So that means it's someone else, someone with an agenda and a group of people with an agenda. You might call them a deep state inside the Trump administration, actually, who have attempted to undermine the president's foreign policy every step of the way through coordinated leaking and messaging with their allies outside.
