After a long and boring speech on Thursday night, Hillary Clinton finally took to the stage. She wore all white, like an angel. Like a saint. Like an erased server. For 57 interminable minutes, the grating old crone spake nonsense into the gaping ears of a gullible media. She spoonfed them lies about policy. She dropped phrases so hackneyed they ought to have been roasted over an open fire. Still, the media cheered. No matter that the Bernie bros made trouble throughout, chanting against her, no matter that at certain points Hillary s face turned Bilbo Baggins, yearning after Frodo's ring. The media, like Samwise Gamgee, would try to carry her over the finish line. She's simply too heavy for any mortal to bear. Her candidacy is an albatross, a millstone.

00:00:00.000On Thursday night, after an interminable speech by boring young Chelsea Clinton introducing her boring old mother Hillary Clinton, Hillary finally took to the stage.
00:00:54.000Chelsea Clinton clearly got mom's gift of gab.
00:00:57.000Perhaps the only memorable moments were these.
00:00:59.000Hillary attempting to look lifelike, instead reciting her speech with the robotic uncanny valley creepiness to which we've all become accustomed.
00:01:06.000Ernie Sanders nearly weeping when Hillary name-checked him.
00:01:09.000His face actually changed momentarily as he grinned the mirthless grin of pure, unadulterated rage.
00:01:14.000Hillary glaring at the audience that refused to accept her seizure of the Iron Throne.
00:01:18.000Bill glancing around, dazed and happy at the thought that perhaps...
00:01:21.000Just maybe, Hilary would be out of the house for another four years.
00:01:24.000Hilary, talking of glass ceilings, forgetting nobody thinks she got where she is legitimately.
00:01:28.000The media furiously pleasuring itself to the pleasant tones of Hilary's rocks-in-the-garbage-disposal delivery.
00:01:34.000And Hilary cackling at her own wit, the soul-sucking giggle of the damned.
00:01:38.000No, this won't help Hilary much, at least how could it?
00:01:41.000At least half her allies died of old age in the middle of the speech, prematurely aged by the sour lemon oratory.
00:01:46.000The ratings for the speech must be great, before viewers died they forgot to turn the channel.
00:01:50.000But no matter, there are three more months of this horror.
00:01:52.000Somewhere, Mitt Romney weeps he didn't have the courage to jump into the race.
00:01:56.000Somewhere, Gary Johnson feels a momentary pang of hope, which he then quickly snuffs out with a blunt.
00:02:00.000Somewhere, the American people, the people who aren't convinced in their politics by Katy Perry, or another rendition of the terrible fight song, think about the end.
00:02:21.000So, first of all, we want to thank our sponsor, Ring.com.
00:02:24.000So I have Ring.com, I have one of these Ring devices on the gate at my house, and it's fantastic.
00:02:29.000The way this thing works is that when somebody rings your doorbell, you can actually set it for motion sensor.
00:02:33.000If somebody even walks up to your doorbell, then suddenly the camera goes on and you can check your cell phone, you can see who's approaching your house.
00:02:39.000And this is important because most of the burglaries that happen in the United States, there's a burglary like every 13 seconds, most of the burglaries happen in broad daylight with a burglar ringing a doorbell to see if you're home and then breaking into your house.
00:02:51.000They don't know that you're not home because it rings directly to your phone and you can talk directly to them and you can tell who's there so they're on tape.
00:02:57.000Ring uses their advanced motion detection technology to protect your entire property.
00:03:01.000They have something called the Ring of Security Kit, which includes that Ring video doorbell for the front door and a Ring Stick Up Cam, which is a wireless weatherproof HD camera which keeps an eye on all the other parts of your property.
00:03:13.000Ring Video Doorbell and Stick Up Cam, they both install in minutes.
00:03:53.000Okay, so one of the problems that we have here on this show is that we don't have Friday programs.
00:03:57.000We're going to have to start doing that.
00:03:58.000In the near future, because too much has been happening on Thursday night.
00:04:01.000Last Thursday night, don't worry, we'll get to Donald Trump and the whole Kaiser-Kahn thing, and we'll get to Hillary Clinton and the lie she told on the Sunday shows, we'll get to me being banned from DePaul University.
00:04:12.000Basically, it's just another day ending in Y when all this crap goes on.
00:04:15.000But let's start off the day by rehashing what happened last Thursday night, because that leads into the whole story.
00:04:20.000So finally, the Democrats have their triumphant moment.
00:04:23.000They have their triumphant moment in the sun.
00:04:24.000Hillary, after decades of lusting after the presidency, like Gollum lusting after the ring, Hillary finally got her grubby hands on it.
00:04:32.000All she had to do was somehow survive for 7,000 years and suck the lifeblood of 324 virgins in order to get there.
00:04:39.000Chelsea Clinton was the one who introduced mommy.
00:04:42.000And let's just put it this way, Chelsea Clinton definitely did not get daddy's gift of gab.
00:04:46.000Hillary definitely has the dominant genetics here.
00:04:51.000I'm here as a proud American, a proud Democrat, a proud mother, and tonight in particular, a very, very proud daughter.
00:05:13.000Mark and I can't quite believe it, but our daughter Charlotte is nearly two years old.
00:06:17.000First of all, she came in wearing Christian Bale's outfit from Equilibrium, and then she started talking, and it was just, I mean, it made you want to put your head in the oven and turn it up to full heat.
00:07:38.000We'll get to the media coverage of this in just a second.
00:07:40.000The media thought this was the greatest speech that ever happened, mainly because, like Phineas Gage, they took a poll through the frontal—prefrontal cortex.
00:07:47.000And there's the famous story about Phineas Gage, this guy who worked on a railroad and he was just walking around one day and there was an industrial accident and he took a pole through the eye and through his brain and it totally changed his personality.
00:07:58.000The media have done that with Hillary Clinton.
00:07:59.000They have forcibly inserted a pole through their eye and into their brain so they don't have to see what's actually going on.
00:10:19.000Here's Bill Clinton falling asleep, legitimately falling asleep in the middle of his speech.
00:10:22.000And look at Tim Kaine, who's the vice president sitting next to, the vice presidential candidate sitting next to Bill.
00:10:27.000He realizes the cameras are on Bill, and you'll see him attempt to swivel his body to block the camera angle so that people can't see Bill snoozing away at his wife.
00:10:37.000Bill hasn't been interested in anything Hillary has to provide for at least 35 years.
00:10:40.000People disrupt their efforts online to reach and radicalize young people in our country.
00:10:47.000It won't be easy or quick, but make no mistake, we will prevail.
00:10:54.000Now Donald Trump, Donald Trump says, and this is a quote,
00:11:12.000OK, so the media ignore the fact that, number one, the Bernie brothers were making all sorts of trouble, and they ignore the fact that Bill is falling asleep, and they ignore the fact that Hillary is legitimately one of the worst speakers in the history of America.
00:11:23.000The fact is that she was a better speaker 30 years ago.
00:13:10.000Now remember, Chelsea Clinton is so untalented a person.
00:13:13.000Her parents have gotten her everything.
00:13:15.000She was legitimately hired at like a million dollar salary by, I think it was ABC News, to be a reporter, and they paid her not to be on air because she's so terrible on air.
00:13:24.000Didn't stop CBS from fawning over her.
00:14:17.000I was on the East Coast because I was speaking at a Young America's Foundation event, and I was up really late, and I was thinking to myself, if this thing goes on another hour, I'm going to have to drown myself.
00:14:26.000I'm going to have to go into the bathroom, and I'm going to have to fill up the bathtub and open my veins like Frank Pantangeli in Godfather II.
00:14:33.000Okay, here is CNN losing its mind over Hillary.
00:14:35.000She answered the question of why, and she also was most passionate, to David's point again, on going after Donald Trump, case by case, issue by issue, on his temperament, on his worldview, on the fact that she is a unifier, on this notion of American exceptionalism.
00:14:57.000I think here the Democrats got handed the baton after the Republican convention and what we've seen for the past four days.
00:15:05.000Culminating in this speech is that they ran with it.
00:15:23.000You see the Young Dreamers impact, the Fight for 15 impact, the Climate Solutions impact, the LGBT impact, even Occupy Wall Street.
00:15:31.000All the things that young people can do.
00:15:32.000Okay, wait a minute, the old Van Jones, a communist on TV telling us all how Hillary's a unifier, which is very, very... So the media, needless to say, they lose their minds for Hillary.
00:15:42.000Obviously, and we all knew this, the media are in the tank for Hillary.
00:15:44.000This has been true since the very beginning.
00:15:46.000And so I want to make a quick note to our Democratic friends, for all the Democrats out there who today, and we're going to get to Donald Trump and his foibles over the weekend because Donald Trump can't help himself.
00:15:56.000But just quick note to our Democratic friends, for all you folks out there, all you Democrats who are out there saying, chortling at these Republicans supporting Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump was an aberration.
00:16:08.000Donald Trump was supposed to be an aberration.
00:16:10.000He was supposed to be a 100-year aberration.
00:16:46.000Republicans may be reluctantly supporting Trump, people like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.
00:16:50.000You guys are sitting in line to give Hillary Clinton buttock massages, so you didn't get to sit around telling us about moral superiority.
00:16:57.000Okay, well, there's lots more to come here on The Ben Shapiro Show, but that brings us to the end of our Facebook Live.
00:17:02.000If you want to watch more, go to dailywired.com and subscribe.
00:17:05.000Dailywired.com is where you can see it.
00:17:07.000It's $8 a month, and you're going to want to check it out because it is great.
00:17:11.000And, I mean, honestly, if you can't afford $8 a month, I don't even know what you're doing sitting around watching this right now or listening to it.
00:17:43.000I don't know if he was dropped on his head as a baby or what the story is, but Donald Trump simply cannot help himself.
00:17:48.000Because Donald Trump, whenever he is poked, he feels the need to punch.
00:17:52.000And that may be admirable in certain circumstances, but the problem is, when you're poked by a puppy, it's not a good idea to punch the puppy.
00:18:00.000So, over the course of the DNC, Trump was poked by a puppy.
00:18:03.000Now, I don't mean to say that the Khan family are harmless in terms of Trump's campaign.
00:18:25.000You have to have been clocked on the head as a very young child by a moving truck in order to do these sorts of things.
00:18:31.000So, to back up for a second, we talked about this a little bit last week.
00:18:34.000This family called the Khans, the mother and father, they get up on stage, a Muslim family, and they're talking about their son, who was killed in Iraq in 2004.
00:18:41.000He was a captain in the army, and he was killed in Iraq in 2004.
00:18:44.000And here's what, the one who's speaking, his name is Kaiser Khan, here's what he had to say.
00:18:50.000Donald Trump, you're asking Americans to trust you with their future.
00:19:59.000And as I said last week, there are a couple of things to note.
00:20:00.000One is, you can't rip on gold star families, right?
00:20:03.000You never rip on gold star families, because if you do, it's dumb.
00:20:06.000Number two, this kind of chicken hawk argument that if you haven't lost somebody in the military, you don't get to speak about policy, it's actually an un-American argument, because we have civilian control of the military here.
00:20:15.000If you want military members, by the way, to vote on policy, the plurality of military members by every available poll support Trump.
00:20:22.000And the fact is that if you wanted the military just voting, Republicans would be the only people elected.
00:22:29.000It sort of makes you miss the time when there was a little bit of class in politics.
00:22:32.000I mean, forget about the fact that he wasn't the world's greatest president.
00:22:35.000He was a good man, and you can see it coming off of him in waves that he's a good man.
00:22:38.000I mean, this is his response to Cindy Sheehan, who was really going after him and basically calling him a war criminal and a warmonger and accusing him of killing her son.
00:22:47.000The fact that Bush was classy did not stop the media from being classless.
00:22:49.000They ran 100 stories in network news time about Cindy Sheehan and George W. Bush, even though Bush was responding in this classy fashion.
00:22:57.000But this is how you should respond, right?
00:22:58.000The way you respond to a Gold Star family that disagrees with you on policy, no matter how hard they hit you, is you say, I have nothing but respect and admiration for Gold Star families whose loved ones made the ultimate sacrifice.
00:23:08.000That doesn't change my stance on policy, and here's why I think my policy is justified, right?
00:23:25.000She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say, you tell me, but plenty of people have written that.
00:23:30.000Okay, plenty of people have written that.
00:23:31.000So now he's implying that the wife who's standing there, what I love about this is that he doesn't attack the father who's saying this stuff.
00:23:36.000He goes to the lady who's just standing there in the background.
00:25:40.000I mean, we just did it about their coverage of Hillary.
00:25:42.000But in the end, if you're the candidate, you have to deal with the reality on the ground.
00:25:46.000The reality on the ground is that the media are a bunch of leftists, and they are out to get you, and that's why you have to be smarter than this, but Trump isn't.
00:25:54.000And so this is how you end up with KaiserKahn back on TV saying that Donald Trump has a black soul.
00:26:00.000This person is totally incapable of empathy.
00:26:04.000I want his family to counsel him, teach him some empathy.
00:26:09.000He will be a better person if he could become, but he is a black soul.
00:26:15.000And this is totally unfit for the leadership of this beautiful country.
00:26:20.000The love and affection that we have received affirms that our beliefs
00:26:24.000Our experience in this country had been correct and positive.
00:26:29.000The world is receiving us like we have never seen.
00:26:34.000They have seen the blackness of his character.
00:26:40.000Okay, this is—it's effective stuff against Trump, and Trump is foolish, and so Trump walks right into it, because Trump can't help himself.
00:26:47.000He feels the need always to punch back, even if he's punching a puppy, and that has some pretty obvious political ramifications.
00:26:53.000And he's got his surrogates doing it, too.
00:26:54.000Now he's got people trying to trot out kind of research on the Khan family, suggested there's a piece
00:27:00.000That's making the rounds in some of the right-wing blogosphere, suggesting that the Khan family are really extremists.
00:27:05.000There's even a piece suggesting that the captain who died in service to America is somehow compromised, that he might be a jihadi.
00:27:13.000And I gotta say, I mean, this is gross stuff.
00:27:15.000You don't have evidence to prove any of this stuff.
00:27:17.000And the evidence that you're trotting out right now is pretty attenuated.
00:27:20.000And even if it weren't, even if it weren't, I mean, unless you can prove a dead American soldier is a traitor, which is a pretty heavy and ridiculous allegation, shut your face.
00:27:29.000And the fact—well, whatever he and his wife think, whatever the Khans think, politically speaking, it is not an effective or useful tactic to attack them for their background.
00:29:18.000If you say anything terrible about Trump, then if you say anything that's true about Trump, then you're undermining Trump and you're helping Hillary.
00:29:29.000It's my job to convey to you my opinions and the truth, and I'm not going to lie for Donald Trump.
00:29:33.000And by the way, I'm not lying for Hillary.
00:29:34.000I spent the first 20 minutes of this program bashing Hillary Clinton for being a terrible lying heretic, and I'm about to spend 10 minutes more doing it.
00:30:03.000The reason I'm not planning to vote for Trump is specifically because of all the things I just said.
00:30:08.000The attempt to turn the conservative movement into a Donald Trump puppet group where he's in the background with his ham fingers trying to dictate what we can and cannot say and telling us to lie for him.
00:32:08.000to preserve her narrative about the unusual setup of a private email server.
00:32:11.000This allows her to skate past the more disturbing findings of the FBI investigation.
00:32:15.000And then he goes into a long, drawn-out analysis.
00:32:18.000He says, as we have seen repeatedly in Clinton's explanations of the email controversy, she relies on excessively technical and legalistic answers to explain her actions.
00:32:26.000While Comey did say there was no evidence she lied to the FBI, that is not the same as saying she told the truth to the American public, which was the point of Wallace's question.
00:32:33.000Comey has repeatedly not taken a stand on her public statements.
00:32:36.000Right, so in other words, she's a liar.
00:32:37.000She's a brutal liar, and Democrats have been defending her and saying, well, look at our person.
00:32:41.000Our person's so much better than yours.
00:32:47.000And then, if you thought that one candidate ripping Gold Star families was enough, no, come on, it was a weekend in America.
00:32:53.000The other candidate also has to rip Gold Star families.
00:32:55.000So, Hillary Clinton is asked about the Benghazi families.
00:32:58.000Remember, she lied to their faces, their bodies on the tarmac, and she comes to them and she says, we're gonna get the guy who did the YouTube video that led to this attack that's testified to by two different members of Gold Star families.
00:33:10.000Here's Hillary Clinton lying about them.
00:35:14.000That right, like every other of our rights, our First Amendment rights, every right that we have, is open to and even subject to reasonable regulations.
00:35:26.000Okay, so every single one is subject to—of course, she doesn't define reasonable regulations.
00:35:30.000For her, that means every regulation is reasonable.
00:38:38.000But we have thousands of beautiful, wonderful, great people outside, and we have in the room next door over a thousand people that won't let him in.
00:38:48.000And the reason they won't let him in is because they don't know what the hell they're doing.
00:39:18.000This is basically, there's been some sort of giant biological catastrophe and pretty much all of life on Earth is wiped out, but there's a small community that survives.
00:39:25.000George R. Stewart, considered one of sort of the great sci-fi novels of all time.
00:39:29.000This one was written, I believe, in 1949, but it didn't date.
00:39:32.000It reads really, really well, and it is, in fact, a good book.
00:39:49.000I had reached out to them after Milo Yiannopoulos spoke there, and there was all sorts of hubbub.
00:39:53.000I had reached out to the students at DePaul University, sort of back-channel, and I'd said to them, look, I don't really want to be involved in this publicly, but I'm happy to get you guys a lawyer.
00:40:01.000If you need a lawyer because you want to sue the university for...
00:40:04.000Miss using your security fees and all this.
00:40:06.000I can hook you up with the Alliance Defending Freedom.
00:40:08.000They do a really good job on this sort of stuff.
00:40:28.000What they actually wrote back is they said, given the experiences and security concerns that some other schools have had with Ben Shapiro speaking on their campuses, DePaul cannot agree to allow him to speak on our campus at this time.
00:40:38.000They said that Dinesh D'Souza and Christina Hoff Sommers could come.
00:40:42.000So in other words, the way that this works now is if I go and I speak somewhere, and leftists riot, and the administration can't control them, I can't speak anywhere anymore.
00:40:52.000When you have people who are basically ginned up to come to my speeches and then shut it down so that other universities will say, oh, well, I guess we can't have them speak there.
00:41:01.000Imagine that conservatives got so angry, so angry at President Obama speaking that they showed up at a university and basically shut down the campus.
00:41:08.000You think that other universities would withdraw their invitations for President Obama or Eric Holder or Michelle Obama or, you know, columnists of the left?
00:41:17.000This is just an excuse not to have me, particularly because they don't want me there, because I stir up trouble, and by stirring up trouble, I mean I go there and I say things that a lot of their lefty students don't like.
00:41:28.000And by the way, if you would like to be part of that fight, I don't do this a lot on the program, but I'm happy to do it, the university, DePaul University,
00:42:04.000So deanofstudents at depaul dot E-D-U.
00:42:07.000And you can let them know about your displeasure and your feeling that this is a violation of, if not the First Amendment, because it's a private university, at least First Amendment principles.
00:44:09.000was that people were watching this because they wanted to be there if he missed.
00:44:12.000Because it's not a great water cooler conversation.
00:44:14.000It's a five second water cooler conversation.
00:44:16.000This is just a note about human nature, okay?
00:44:18.000Human nature suggests that when you watch a guy jump out of a plane from 25,000 feet into a net, there's a part of you deep down inside that wants to watch the guy miss the net.
00:45:59.000By contrast, the rest of the media is making an enormous deal, an enormous deal out of Miss Teen USA.
00:46:03.000So Miss Teen USA, she was just crowned Miss Teen USA, and there's a big controversy that is now broken out because back in 2013, she had a bunch of tweets in which she used the N-word.
00:46:14.000Now, she didn't use the N-word to direct it at black people, right?
00:46:17.000She used the N-word in the same way that rappers use the N-word.
00:46:21.000It's supposed to be like a cool, insider-y thing.
00:46:24.000So I've objected to this for a long time.
00:46:25.000I think it's stupid when black people do it.
00:46:27.000I think it's stupid when white people do it.
00:46:28.000It's a word with a very nasty meaning, and the kind of attempt to mainstream it into culture has the predictable effect that stupid young kids— I mean, in 2013, she's now, what, 17?
