Everyone who has ever said anything that the politically correct police don't like is out of a job, they will lose their job, and they may not be able to keep their career if they don't have the proper "woke" politics. But if you do have a proper woke politics, you get to keep your jobs. And if you don't, then you will be shamed into leaving your job because it's offensive or racially insensitive, then your career is over. And as long as your politics are correct then you can say whatever you want, and if we find something uncomfortable, well then we'll sort of brush it off. If you're Ralph Northam and you dress up in a KKK outfit in the 1980s, well, you're totally fine. If your politics aren't correct, then we don't abide by any of those standards. And that's not the same thing as a bad comment. People make bad comments. People sin. People do things that are bad in their lives. And they should apologize to people to whom they have sinned. But we don t abide by those standards right, left, and center. And by the way, I hold to those standards, right? and by any stretch of the imagination, I do not abide by them. But that is not to say that I don't hold to any of the standards that the left has been setting up in the past, right, or center. But we do not have to tolerate some opinions or ideas that are offensive or offensive in our society. And we do have to live up to the standards the Left has set up for us. And that is an indicator that we are a direct descendant of slaveholders and slaveholders. and we are all a problem, not a problem that is a problem And we should not do the work of being a slaveholder even if we are not an ideological slaveholder or slaveholder, but a problem . That s an indication that once told a joke about being a systemically racist or slaveholders that means we are an problem or a . We are not a problem. by being a slaveholder . or in the way that is by the slaveholder. Ben Shapiro's show is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

00:00:00.000Al Sharpton takes center stage at the George Floyd Memorial, a New York Times editor urges targeting of those who disagree with the woke police, and the governor of Kentucky announces illegal racial reparations.
00:00:26.000We've reached a new moment in America, and that is everyone who has ever said anything that the woke police don't like is cancelled.
00:00:32.000They'll lose their jobs, they'll lose their career.
00:00:33.000Now, this has been on the wave for a while.
00:00:35.000We've been seeing this for a long time, this sort of attitude that is pervasive throughout the media, that true journalism can be found in digging up people's 12-year-old, 15-year-old, 20-year-old tweets and then shaming them into giving up their jobs or leaving their positions unless they have the proper woke politics.
00:00:50.000If you have the proper woke politics, you get to keep your jobs.
00:00:52.000If you're Jimmy Kimmel and you are the woke pope of late-night TV, then you absolutely get to dress in blackface as Karl Malone and keep your job.
00:00:59.000If you're Jimmy Fallon and you have bowed the knee to the politically correct police, then you get to dress up as Chris Rock back in 2000, apologize, and everything is okay.
00:01:08.000If, however, you aren't any of those things, then your wife has to apologize, like Drew Brees, your second cousin from Duluth has to apologize, and you may not be able to keep your job at all.
00:01:15.000And this is the new pattern in American public life.
00:01:18.000So if your politics are correct, Then you get to basically say whatever you want historically, and if we find something kind of uncomfortable, well then, you know, we'll sort of brush it off.
00:01:27.000If you're Ralph Northam, and you dress up in a KKK outfit in the 1980s, well then, you're totally fine.
00:01:32.000Now, I've been consistent on this, which is, people sin.
00:02:04.000Who have said stuff that is deeply offensive and wrong.
00:02:07.000To take a perfect example, Sarah Irao now works at the New York Times.
00:02:11.000When she was first hired by the New York Times, people resurfaced old tweets of hers where she was joking about how white people's opinions suck and stereotypical white people and all of this kind of stuff.
00:02:18.000And I said, OK, well, I think that those comments are pretty bad, but the New York Times knew what they had when they hired her, and so she shouldn't lose her job over anything like that.
00:02:26.000In a society with a lot of opinions and a lot of diversity, you're going to have to tolerate some opinions you don't like and even some nastiness.
00:02:33.000You're going to have to tolerate all that if you want to live together because it turns out people are sinful and say nasty and terrible things to one another all the time.
00:02:39.000And that is not the same thing as ruining somebody's life.
00:02:41.000That is not the same thing as creating systems of oppression.
00:02:43.000That is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination.
00:02:46.000Now, if you're going to hold true to the standard that the left is currently setting up, which is that if you've said something that targets another group or you've said something offensive or racially insensitive, then your life is over.
00:02:56.000Well then that should be evenly applied across the spectrum.
00:02:59.000Because as we will see, the way that this works is that the people who are deemed okay by the woke police get away with anything and everything they could possibly want to say, including some of the worst racial slurs imaginable.
00:03:10.000But, if you do not side with the woke police on their decision-making about policy, or about America being a systemically racist and evil country, and about you bearing guilt for the things that ancestors of yours, or non-ancestors of yours did, well then, you are part of the problem, and we will use every indicator that you once told a bad joke as an indicator that you are a direct ideological descendant of slaveholders.
00:03:31.000Even if you aren't an actual descendant of slaveholders.
00:04:13.000And so what that means is that people are going to see right through this and they're going to say, okay, this is just a politically driven hit job against people you don't like anyway.
00:04:22.000And that's not an excuse for people making bad comments.
00:04:24.000You should apologize and then we should all move on with our lives.
00:04:26.000That is not an excuse for a bad old tweet.
00:04:28.000People do apologize and they move on with their lives.
00:04:30.000But that is not what is happening right now.
00:04:31.000Right now what we are watching is a seek and destroy mission against history.
00:04:35.000People trying to tear down statues of Lincoln and Churchill.
00:04:37.000Not just statues of Confederate slaveholders.
00:04:40.000We are seeing people attempting to wipe away Western history.
00:04:42.000We are seeing people attempt to wipe away Western philosophy.
00:04:45.000Rights themselves are apparently an exercise of hierarchical power.
00:04:49.000We are seeing people attempt to wipe away and erase aspects of history that are good.
00:04:55.000As we will see, Hattie McDaniels, the first Black Academy Award winner, has now been wiped away from history, according to HBO Max, because the movie in which she starred, Gone with the Wind, is now perceived as wrong on slavery.
00:05:06.000And there are a lot of problems with Gone with the Wind on slavery.

00:07:19.000Okay, so how can we tell that a double standard is underway or a triple standard or a quadruple standard is underway when it comes to who must be ousted from places of public approval?
00:07:29.000Well, we know this because Al Sharpton was the keynote speaker at the memorial for George Floyd.
00:07:33.000Now, there were a bunch of speakers at the memorial for George Floyd who were great.
00:07:36.000Seriously, that Galvita King was great.
00:07:38.000We had members of the George Floyd family who were great.
00:07:47.000Al Sharpton has spent years doing everything from inciting violence Being involved in the incitement of not one but two riots, the Crown Heights riot in 1991 that ended with the death of an Orthodox Jew, Yankel Rosenbaum, to inciting an arson at a At a district called Freddy's Fashion Mart and a small shop that ended up killing what actually minority people.
00:08:21.000He's a garbage human being, Al Sharpton.
00:08:23.000And he has made his career basically by going around and threatening companies And saying, if you refuse to give a donation to my group, then I'm just going to call you racist.
00:08:31.000So he did this with Macy's, most memorably, where he went to Macy's, he accused them of profiling black shoppers.
00:08:36.000And then he said, but if you give a donation, we'll quiet down about all of that.
00:09:13.000That means their forefathers was crooks.
00:09:15.000If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.
00:09:20.000He also called Jews diamond merchants during the Freddie's Fashion Mart situation.
00:09:24.000This guy is being trotted out as the leader of the new America that is going to be built in the wake of the old racist, systemically racist America.
00:09:33.000Nobody's made a bigger career off of calling America racist than Al Sharpton without actually accomplishing anything and accomplishing his chief goal of making people in America feel victimized when in fact the American system is incredibly free.
00:09:44.000If you want to succeed in America, Work hard.
00:09:47.000There's nobody sitting there saying, we want to stop you.
00:09:49.000Seriously, this notion that there are people who are sitting up nights trying to figure out how to stop you is insane.
00:09:54.000But the Al Sharpton perspective on the world has filtered throughout American society.
00:10:04.000Well, here's what he tweeted yesterday.
00:10:06.000And this is pretty indicative of one of the big problems in the country.
00:10:09.000Maybe the biggest problem in the country is the belief that success is out of reach unless you reject the American system.
00:10:14.000So Meek Mill tweeted, quote, I've never believed in the American system.
00:10:18.000I dropped out of school in the 10th grade and made millions at 22.
00:10:21.000The way they broke things down to me didn't really fit my life as a black kid from poverty, so I took the risk of chasing my own dreams, not the American dream.
00:10:29.000You dropped out of high school, and now you made millions at 22, and somehow that's an indication that America is deeply racist and wanted to keep you down?
00:10:37.000I'm gonna need some better evidence than that, dude.
00:10:39.000But when you keep promulgating the narrative that black people all over the United States are being kept down by the man, that is a negative narrative.
00:10:48.000It is the least inspiring message I could possibly think of, truthfully.
00:10:52.000And it's being parroted by everybody from Al Sharpton to Michelle Obama.
00:10:55.000Michelle Obama spoke to black graduates two days ago and suggested that no matter how hard you work, there are people who are trying to create institutions of power to keep you down.
00:11:13.000But those are not the conversations that are being had.
00:11:15.000Instead, the conversations that are being had are pure, vague conversations about vague American racial impurity and evil on race issues.
00:11:27.000You don't have to pose a policy solution or even an inspiring message for people who are trying to make their way in the world.
00:11:32.000All you have to do is yell at people in power and proclaim that they are racist.
00:11:36.000So Al Sharpton spent his time at George Floyd's memorial ripping President Trump and suggesting there was wickedness in high places.
00:11:43.000Which, again, it seems to me that if you're going to list all the people who have done things that harmed George Floyd, President Trump is not particularly on this list, but this is what Al Sharpton spends his time doing.
00:11:55.000Again, why this race-baiting grifter was the keynote speaker at this thing is beyond me.
00:12:00.000You could hardly pick a worse example of a person to lead a movement on behalf of racial justice than the disgusting cretin Al Sharpton.
00:12:09.000We are not fighting some disconnected incidents.
00:12:17.000We are fighting an institutional, systemic problem that has been allowed to permeate since we were brought to these shores.
00:12:31.000And we are fighting wickedness in high places.
00:12:38.000Okay, wickedness in high places, meaning President Trump.
00:12:41.000Then on the back of George Floyd's death, President Trump has to go.
00:12:44.000Weird, because I don't remember Al Sharpton talking about wickedness in high places during Ferguson.
00:12:48.000He was very involved in Ferguson and in Baltimore.
00:12:50.000So really, it only applies to one side.
00:12:52.000When something bad happens in America, the system is to blame if Barack Obama is not president, is basically the message you get from Al Sharpton.
00:12:58.000Al Sharpton also spent some time ripping Roger Goodell, which makes perfect sense because George Floyd played in the NFL, except for how he didn't play in the NFL and this has nothing to do with Roger Goodell.
00:13:05.000But, Roger Goodell must be made to pay the price because Roger Goodell was against people kneeling for the American flag and the national anthem.
00:13:12.000Which, by the way, was an 80-20 proposition before President Trump started speaking about it.
00:13:15.000Most Americans do not believe that the American flag represents evil and white supremacy and racism.
00:13:23.000And they don't believe that kneeling for the American flag or the national anthem is a good way to show that you oppose police brutality because it suggests that the American flag is about police brutality, which it is not.
00:13:32.000But it was very important that at George Floyd's memorial, the grifter Al Sharpton talk about Roger Goodell and how he needs to give Colin Kaepernick a job back.
00:13:44.000Oh, it's nice to see some people change their mind.
00:13:48.000The head of the NFL said, yeah, maybe we was wrong.
00:13:54.000Football players, maybe they did have the right to peacefully protest.
00:14:09.000And four years later when the whole world is marching, all of a sudden you go and do a FaceTime talking about you sorry?
00:14:18.000Okay, so now Roger Goodell must be made to kneel.
00:14:21.000By the way, they're actually talking about the possibility of Roger Goodell kneeling for the national anthem in the upcoming season, and he's going to come out and fully pander and just kneel.
00:14:29.000First of all, Colin Kaepernick was going out on the practice field with socks that showed cops as pigs.
00:14:35.000Colin Kaepernick has led an incredibly wealthy and opportunity-filled life in the United States, the kind of place where you can earn a million dollars for kneeling in a Nike commercial to pander politically.
00:15:01.000Because either he plays great, in which case he becomes sort of the player that half the country loves and half the country loves to hate.
00:15:07.000Or he gets completely destroyed first day on the job and gets sacked because he doesn't know how to read a passing route, which was the big rap on Kaepernick.
00:15:15.000And then everybody who doesn't like him cheers and everybody who loves him kind of recognizes that he wasn't that great a player in the first place and all this.
00:15:21.000But using the memorial service for a man who died of police brutality in order to promote Colin Kaepernick's job opportunities is pretty astonishing.
00:15:32.000By the way, Colin Kaepernick just last year was given a workout by a bunch of teams and he refused to abide by the rules of the workout because he's posing.
00:15:43.000Joe Biden with his wonderful history on race, as everybody has noted.
00:15:47.000And I'm old enough to remember when Kamala Harris was suggesting that Joe Biden was a racist because he opposed forced busing, and because he had talked kindly about segregation of senators, and because he backed a 1994 crime reform bill.
00:15:57.000I'm old enough to remember when Joe Biden was the bad guy, but now Joe Biden is the good guy.
00:17:36.000It really does change how you think about nutrition in a serious way, and that's what you really need in order to lose the weight and get healthier.
00:17:41.000You don't have to change it all in one day.
00:19:12.000Justice is the idea that you get what you deserve, right?
00:19:15.000George Floyd didn't deserve to die, so he was treated with injustice.
00:19:17.000Racial justice is the idea that you, by dint of your race, are deserving of something.
00:19:22.000I don't think you, by dint of your race, are deserving of anything, either good or bad, because I don't think you control your race.
00:19:27.000I think the idea of, quote-unquote, racial justice, that idea is patently absurd on its face, simply because the idea that you, again, ought to be given something solely on the basis of race is silly, just like social justice is silly.
00:20:04.000Because anytime you say justice and then add anything before it, it sounds nice.
00:20:07.000But unless you're going to unpack that phrase, it is a meaningless mush phrase.
00:20:12.000And again, I wonder if people in that crowd knew that what he was talking about was adding more funding for police, whether they would be on board with his conception of racial justice.
00:20:20.000Because that is what Joe Biden has said at this point.
00:20:23.000And so, again, justice, justice, justice is what is deserved.
00:20:29.000But anytime you add a modifier in front of justice, you have now moved away from the world of justice and towards something that is less just.
00:20:34.000So speaking of things that are not just, we are now moving into the Me Too era for racism is the new declaration.
00:20:41.000What this means is not that we are going to identify instances of you doing something bad to another human being.
00:20:46.000We are going to dig up instances of things that do not meet with the approval of the woke police and then we are going to ruin your life over them.
00:20:51.000And this is being egged on by our journalistic betters.
00:20:57.000You know, the business of journalism becomes incredibly easy when all you have to do is search somebody's old tweets.
00:21:02.000The business of journalism, usually that involves, you know, tracking down actual stories.
00:21:06.000But now, journalism is basically, you find a Yale freshman, and then you go back into her Facebook posts, and you find something that's racially insensitive, and then you ruin her.
00:21:14.000And this is making the world a better place.
00:21:17.000So there is a girl, I'm gonna say girl, or young woman, who goes to Yale.
00:21:26.000There's a woman named Skye Jackson, who I've never heard of before, but she's been going around on Twitter basically trying to uncover people's bad old posts.
00:21:36.000I don't know who this person is, but she decided that she was going to go after this person who is just a Yale admittee for a post that was put out, what, 10 years ago?
00:22:11.000This is the new standard that if you say something when you're 15 years old, we're going to ruin you.
00:22:14.000A lot of people's lives are going to be ruined, but we understand that that is not the actual standard here, right?
00:22:18.000That's not the actual standard at all.
00:22:20.000Because if you're Ice Cube, and you put out black Hebrew Israelite propaganda on your Twitter feed, and if you put out actual QAnon anti-Semitism, you're totally fine.
00:22:30.000So Ice Cube, who has 5.3 million Twitter followers, put out an openly anti-Semitic Picture yesterday.
00:22:36.000It's a picture of a bunch of old Jewish men sitting over a monopoly board that is built on the back of brown people.
00:22:42.000And he says, F the new normal until they fix the old normal.
00:22:50.000So in other words, the only people who are to be targeted here are people who have the wrong skin color or who don't sufficiently bow to the woke crowd.
00:22:58.000And by the way, even if you bow to the woke crowd, it's not enough.
00:23:01.000Because then the next demand is, okay, so what have you done for us lately?
00:23:31.000This is why you have Jimmy Fallon on late night TV apologizing for his cruel racism from 2000 when it didn't bother a damn person back in 2000.
00:23:39.000Because it's about shaming him into doing a thing now.
00:23:42.000We're gonna get to this in just one second.
00:23:43.000First, let's talk about the fact that right now, pretty bad time to go to an auto parts store.
00:23:47.000In fact, as it turns out, pretty much every time you go to an auto parts store is a bad time to go to an auto parts store because you're overpaying for the parts.
00:23:53.000Instead, you should be using the glories of the interweb.
00:23:56.000Rockauto.com is much easier than walking into a store and someone demanding quick answers to things like, is your Odyssey an LX or an EX, and then they just have to order the part online anyway, or they give you a generic part that's overpriced.
00:25:13.000And if you don't kneel, you must be destroyed.
00:25:15.000And if you do kneel, you must be destroyed because there's no absolution.
00:25:18.000Once you apologize to the Twitter woke mob, there is no recovery.
00:25:22.000There is no world in which you come back from that.
00:25:24.000Once you apologize to the Twitter woke mob, they come for your head.
00:25:28.000So according to Ayesha Harris, this is all good.
00:25:30.000She says, this U, brutally crisp and blatantly rhetorical, the phrase has become a catch-all, representing the internet currency of receipts, forcing bandwagon participants to confront things they might have said or done that seemingly contradict their newfound commitment to the clause.
00:25:43.000So in other words, what she is saying is that this U is supposed to be directed specifically at people who are signaling support for your cause.
00:25:50.000So if you put up a black square on Blackout Tuesday or whatever that thing was, And then you have an old post that is racially insensitive.
00:25:59.000We say, this you, because you have not shown your commitment.
00:26:08.000What are you going to do for me today?
00:26:11.000Does this sound like a way to make a better world?
00:26:12.000Does this sound like a way to encourage people to be better?
00:26:15.000Or does it sound like a way to keep people silent and a way for people to basically resent you secretly, which is exactly what is going to happen?
00:26:23.000Or a way to eventually cast enough people outside the Overton window that they constitute a majority of American society, because it turns out that virtually everybody has said a bad thing online at some point or another.
00:26:32.000But according to Ayesha Harris, this is making the world a better place, one Twitter mobbing at a time.
00:26:39.000What are her examples of a Twitter mob being good?
00:26:41.000The NFL player Drew Brees, for instance, participated in the thoroughly muddled but hugely popular social media campaign Blackout Tuesday, tweeting a link to his Instagram page where he'd posted a black square to express solidarity with black people.
00:26:53.000A short and sweet This You was waiting for him in the form of a user's retweet, accompanied by a photo of a smiling Mr. Breeze alongside President Trump and Melania Trump.
00:27:15.000Also said Ayesha Harris, he's very bad, because he was a vocal critic of football players kneeling to protest police brutality during the National Anthem.
00:27:22.000Obviously he's very bad, so we have to this-you him.
00:27:24.000By the way, I've gotten a lot of this, too.
00:27:26.000So, for example, I'll say something about how police brutality is bad and George Floyd never should have died, and somebody will tweet out a picture of me with Steve King from five years ago, neglecting to mention that I'm one of the chief reasons that Steve King is no longer sitting in Congress, that I was the first major commentator to suggest he should be ejected from Congress after his white supremacist comments went around, and then I maxed out to his opponent, Kevin Feenstra, on the first day of the controversy.
00:28:05.000Someone retweeted with a screenshot of a New York Times article featuring the mugshots of the Baltimore officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray.
00:28:42.000Because if you think that people are going to just forgive Drew Brees for the great sin of having said that he doesn't like kneeling for the American flag, you would be wrong.
00:28:49.000But according to Aisha Harris, it's delectable.
00:28:52.000A message for the moment in which combating anti-blackness is the thing to do.
00:28:57.000Anti-racist literature lists are being shared far and wide.
00:28:59.000Inboxes are awash in carefully worded, very special emails from businesses espousing key phrases like racial disparities and we pledge to do better.
00:29:08.000Protests from city to city and country to country have carried on for many days, now featuring Ben Affleck and show little sign of slowing anytime soon.
00:29:15.000This you captures the sense among some that for all the attention given and demonstrating and donating that has occurred in the past two weeks, not much has changed.
00:29:32.000A detailed tweet revealing how a star who just announced Black Lives Matter also has a history of mistreating her black colleagues is juicy to read, but a This You retweet from a random user is like a simple alley-oop.
00:29:42.000It's a way to keep people and organizations in check, and nudge them to work harder to receive their cookies, to make it clear this won't be easy for them, because it has never been easy for black people.
00:29:52.000So you may never have actually done a racist thing, you may have said something racially insensitive on Twitter once, but you don't get your cookie.
00:29:57.000Namely, we're not going to leave you alone.
00:29:59.000We're going to hound you and harass you until you do what we want because you said something 10 years ago we uncovered on Twitter.
00:30:03.000Making the world a better place, one Twitter mobbing at a time.
00:30:57.000So either you sink by apologizing, in which case you're not a witch, but you're dead, or you float because you are a witch, in which case we burn you.
00:31:05.000That is the way that the Twitter mob is working these days.
00:31:09.000I'm going to give you a bunch of examples because the culture cannot withstand this.
00:31:16.000We will break down into two separate cultural camps, and that is what's going to happen.
00:31:20.000Because when you remove every TV show that portrays cops decently, when you remove Gone with the Wind from HBO Max, When you decide that you are going to have every arts director fired who has ever been nice to the police, when you have decided that every editorial page editor who has ever said something you don't like, that is not even racist, just stuff you don't like, has to be quote-unquote racismed out of office, Then all you're going to do is just set up an alternative currency, and that's what's going to happen in the United States.
00:31:52.000But there's a whole side of the political aisle that cannot get done what it wants to get done unless it castigates at least half the country as systemically and brutally racist.
00:31:59.000If you want to tear down the system, it does not serve your interests to mention that America is actually a wonderful country that has fought against racism, particularly over the last 50 years, and that the vast majority of Americans do care about black lives and do care about police brutality.
00:32:13.000If you mention that, it cuts against your actual agenda, which is to destroy all the institutions of the country.
00:32:18.000So instead, we're going to call out every instance and magnify every instance and pretend that that is indicative of broader American racism, Every singular instance of white-on-black racism is going to be called out.
00:32:29.000Meanwhile, we are going to ignore every aspect of decision-making that results in inequality rather than inequity.
00:33:07.000And that means I own some fairly expensive watches.
00:33:10.000It also means that I own some watches that are less expensive.
00:33:12.000Well, if you can't afford to go out and get your dad a Rolex for Father's Day, but you want to get him something that runs beautifully and looks spectacular and looks way above its price point, go out and get your dad a Vincero.
00:33:22.000One of my favorite sponsors is Vincero watches.
00:33:24.000It's a watch I love to wear, and they're having an early Father's Day sale.
00:33:27.000My listeners already know, Vincero creates the most incredible looking watches at an unbelievable price point.
00:33:31.000Again, you're not going to have to go out and spend thousands of dollars.
00:33:33.000These are watches that look great, well under 200 bucks.
00:33:36.000There's no better gift for a father, husband, grandfather, you name it, than giving them the gift of time with a Vincero watch.
00:33:40.000I've given them to both my parents actually, for my mom and my dad.
00:34:32.000It's a buy you won't regret, and your dad is really going to appreciate it.
00:34:35.000All right, we're gonna get to the cancellation of all the things, and the bullying of all the corporations, and the assumption by every area of American life that you must bow the knee, or they will come after you next.
00:34:55.000Okay, all this is going to be held over the heads of the American people consistently.
00:34:59.000We're going to get to more of this in just one second.
00:35:01.000This year has been an unbelievably up and down, frankly awful year, but incredibly busy news, stuff that you need to keep track of.
00:35:08.000And the media are lying to you on a routine basis, like all the time, which is why so many Americans think things like the police are systemically racist and mistreating black people on a vast scale and endangering their lives.
00:35:17.000That's because the media lie to you all the time.
00:35:19.000When you can't get the real story, you have to go outside the narrative and actually get the hard facts.

00:36:10.000Also, as I've been mentioning, I have a book coming out July 21st.
00:36:30.000The book is what is happening right now.
00:36:32.000The book is about the attempt by so many people in the media, in academia, in the political sphere, and many of your neighbors to divide us along racial and class lines, to destroy America's common philosophy that says that all men are created equal.
00:37:22.000And really, in the end, my book is about how to save America by rebutting those arguments and fighting back against this particularly ugly narrative.
00:37:28.000How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.
00:37:47.000As I mentioned, if you're a person who is starting at Yale, and when you were 15, you put up a racially ignorant post, then we'll tear you down.
00:37:53.000If you're LeBron James, by the way, and last year you put up a fully anti-Semitic post, then you're fine.
00:37:57.000But if you're a Yale University freshman, Yale University will then reconsider whether they should admit you to the university.
00:38:03.000Remember, they did the same thing to Kyle Kashuv.
00:38:05.000When it came out that in private text, he used the N-word when he was 16 years old.
00:38:08.000And so his admission to Harvard University was rescinded.
00:38:11.000And he was outed, of course, because he had the wrong politics on gun control.
00:38:16.000And we've seen everything is now cancelled.
00:38:49.000Because most of them are the cops doing their job and doing it properly.
00:38:51.000That doesn't mean that there aren't bad and stupid cops.
00:38:54.000It doesn't mean there aren't racist cops.
00:38:55.000But to say that you cannot air entertainment that puts you on the same side as law enforcement is patently insane and makes the world a worse place.
00:39:02.000Because if now you are suggesting that, like, what do you think the consequences of this are?
00:39:05.000When you say that the cops are systemically racist and they are targeting black Americans, Now you're a black American and you get pulled over by the cops.
00:39:12.000Your immediate suspicion is the reason that you are being pulled over is not because you were speeding, or not because there is a reasonable suspicion, but because the cops hate black people.
00:39:19.000Might that change your attitude on how you deal with the police?
00:39:22.000Might that mean that a lot more 17-year-olds who are pulled over by the police act in ways that are likely to endanger them and would endanger anyone if anybody acted that way?
00:39:30.000If you want to foster better relations between the police and communities of color, then perhaps you actually might want to exacerbate the message that the police care about them, that the police want to help people.
00:39:39.000Instead, we're going to pull down all entertainment that suggests that cops are good.
00:39:43.000So Deadline Hollywood, Deadline.com reports that Cops' six-year run on Paramount Network has come to an end.
00:39:48.000It was pulled last week in the aftermath of George Floyd's death.
00:39:51.000A Paramount Network spokesperson said, Cops is not on the Paramount Network.
00:39:54.000We don't have any current or future plans for it to return.
00:39:57.000The long-running Cops premiered on Fox in 1989, aired for 25 seasons.
00:40:00.000By the way, note, I wrote a book called Primetime Propaganda.
00:40:03.000I interviewed the guy who created Cops.
00:40:05.000He told me that when they selected footage for Cops, they deliberately went out of their way to under-sample suspects who were black and Hispanic.
00:40:16.000He suggested that they went directly to the footage, and then they oversampled white suspects because they did not want to forward the perception that too many black and Hispanic people were committing crimes.
00:40:26.000That's the show that just got pulled down from Paramount Network.
00:40:29.000Meanwhile, A&E pulled last weekend's episodes of its hit docuseries, Live PD, because obviously, if you cover the police in any good way, that's really bad.
00:41:02.000Because after all, we gotta get rid of Gone with the Wind because it pushes images about slavery that we don't like today.
00:41:08.000So instead of just watching the movie and saying, this is inaccurate about slavery and it romanticizes slavery and that's bad, but the movie also has something to say about resilience in the face of pain from people like Hattie McDaniels and resilience in the face of pain from the other characters in the story.
00:41:21.000Instead of doing that, we're just going to pull it down.
00:42:20.000HBO Max said that Gone With the Wind is, quote, a product of its time and depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society.
00:42:42.000And by the way, are we going to discuss Movies like Spike Lee's movies that very often depict Jewish people in the worst possible light as a product of their time?
00:43:06.000Because staff members of the Wall Street Journal sent a letter to newsroom leaders on Monday accusing the paper's former editor-in-chief, Gerard Baker, who's been an editor-at-large since 2018, of violating rules that apply to those who work on the news side.
00:43:18.000The letter from the Board of the Independent Association of Publishers' Employees, the union that represents journal staff members, according to the New York Times, criticized a column by Mr. Baker on race and accused him of tweeting in a way that went against the paper's social media policy.
00:43:31.000Well, he wrote a column over the weekend, it was a good column, in which he talked about the fact that people distort the reality of hate crime in America.
00:43:39.000He described the murder of Ahmad Arbery, the black man shot while jogging in Georgia after being pursued by white men, And he made the argument that black people commit more hate crimes than white people, according to the IAPA.
00:43:52.000He actually, he pointed out that black Americans kill more white Americans on a percentage basis than white Americans kill black Americans.
00:44:00.000If you're talking about cross-racial killings, black Americans, if you adjust for population, kill far more, I think on an absolute basis too, kill far more white Americans than white Americans kill black Americans.
00:44:31.000Galaxy said it has released Serbian soccer star Aleksandar Kataj on Friday after his wife, T. Kataj, shared a series of racist and violent social media posts in response to the George Floyd protests occurring around the country.
00:44:42.000The Major League Soccer Club met with Katai on Thursday after it was made aware of two of his wife's Instagram posts she shared the day before.
00:44:48.000After fans protested outside the LA Galaxy Stadium, the club announced in a one-sentence statement it would drop Katai from its roster.
00:44:54.000His wife posted a thing and he lost his job.
00:44:58.000By the way, the thing she posted is yucky and it's violent.
00:45:03.000If you actually look at what she posted, she posted stuff, again, that is yucky and violent, and she was labeling protestors things, like she said, disgusting cattle about protestors.
00:45:13.000That doesn't mean that all the protestors are black.
00:46:08.000You will assume that you are a part of the problem, even if there's no evidence that you're a part of the problem.
00:46:11.000You know how many affirmative action programs exist in STEM fields all around the United States, seeking desperately black employees to join?
00:46:20.000Go to every major university and ask them if there are enough applicants who are qualified, and the answer is no.
00:46:26.000Do you really think that engineering programs are deliberately saying to black people you cannot enter this engineering program?
00:46:31.000In fact, one of the big problems when it comes to the earnings potential for black college graduates versus white college graduates is how many people go into these so-called soft studies, the liberal arts, as opposed to going into majors that are likely to earn you a lot of money.
00:46:45.000But STEM is shutting down and nature is promoting this nonsense.
00:46:48.000Black academic and black STEM professionals are hurting because they exist in and are attacked by institutional and systemic racism.
00:46:57.000Instead, it's just a bunch of argle-bargle.
00:46:59.000It's a bunch of vague social justice argle-bargle.
00:47:03.000Black people, this is according to Shut Down STEM.
00:47:04.000Black people have been tirelessly working for change alongside their indigenous and people of color allies.
00:47:09.000For Black academics and STEM professionals, Shut Down Academia and Shut Down STEM is a time to prioritize their needs, whether that is to rest, reflect, or to act, without incurring additional cumulative disadvantage.
00:47:24.000They also acknowledge, they say, Shut Down STEM is aimed at the broad research community who's not directly participating in ending COVID-19.
00:47:29.000So if you're doing COVID-19, then you don't have to shut it down.
00:47:32.000But make no mistake, the scientific community is now engaging in a religious sabbath.
00:47:38.000Because the religion of wokeism is more important.
00:47:40.000Like, okay, I understand the religion needs a sabbath.
00:47:45.000By the way, arts groups are being shut down as well, according to the New York Times.
00:47:48.000After the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri allowed the police to use its property to stage a response to a protest over George Floyd's death, its director asked the police to gather elsewhere and issued a public apology.
00:47:59.000Because they allowed the police to stage a response to a protest over Floyd's death.
00:48:04.000When the Getty Museum was criticized for putting out a vague social media post calling for equity and fairness that failed to mention Floyd, its chief executive pledged to do better.
00:48:12.000The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art had to issue language of contrition.
00:48:38.000In New York, Off-Broadway and Brooklyn theaters, as well as the Brooklyn Museum and MoMA, have offered restroom access to protesters.
00:48:43.000Theaters in cities like Oakland, California, Austin, and Washington have done the same.
00:48:46.000The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture created an online portal for discussion about race.
00:48:51.000The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis announced it would no longer contract the services of the local PD for events until the law enforcement agency, quote, implements meaningful change.
00:49:59.000Until Gushers and Fruit by the Foot issued a statement about white supremacy, I was really under the impression that this corn syrup based snack for children, I was really under the impression that they were very much in favor of the murder of black men until Gushers put out a statement.
00:50:13.000They put out a statement saying Gushers wouldn't be Gushers without the black community and your voices.
00:50:17.000We're working with Fruit By The Foot on creating space to amplify that.
00:50:38.000Five seconds ago, the entire social justice warrior movement was laughing at Madonna for putting up a tape of her son dancing to Michael Jackson.
00:50:45.000And now, the way that this works is that everyone is expected to dance to Michael Jackson, to Virtue Signal, to everybody, how they feel about all of this stuff.
00:50:54.000And if you are the first person to sit down, you will pay the price.
00:51:14.000Meanwhile, there are real-world ramifications for all of this stuff.
00:51:18.000There are real-world ramifications to the virtue signaling.
00:51:20.000Namely, that when the virtue signaling becomes material, and you decide to turn the virtue signaling into attacking the police, then the police walk away.
00:51:28.000So that's what's been going on right now.
00:51:29.000So the Democratic Party and the media have decided that the real bad guys here are the cops.
00:51:35.000The real bad guys are the cops, who have stood between American citizens and property destruction and violence and death and the communities that most need more policing are communities that experience high crime.
00:51:48.000I think it is hilarious to watch as the media try to treat Camden, New Jersey as an example of a city that did away with its police department and has succeeded.
00:52:21.000They've been saying things like, defund the police, defund the police.
00:52:23.000And then when they're asked about it, they go, we don't mean defund the police, guys.
00:52:26.000I mean, what we obviously mean is more funding for mental health services.
00:52:29.000Okay, so why are you saying defund the police?
00:52:31.000And the answer is you're saying defund the police because what you actually want is for the radicals to believe that you're on their side.
00:52:39.000And at the same time, you don't want to do anything that actually is going to undermine safety in your city.
00:52:42.000So you're a bunch of damned hypocrites.
00:52:44.000By the way, you see this most clearly in Los Angeles, where LA City Council President Nury Martinez was filing a motion seeking a $150 million cut from the LAPD budget.
00:52:54.000Meanwhile, she had an LAPD unit standing watch outside her home, providing her family with a private security detail since April, paid for by taxpayers.
00:53:01.000So in other words, defund the police, but not the ones outside my house, guys.
00:53:40.000So the predictable after effect, if you're making the case that all Americans are systemically racist and that the police are the bleeding edge of America's systemic racism, then you have to say the police are the bad guys.
00:54:34.000In the aftermath of the Rodney King riots, And the proposal put on table was to name streets in each borough and to paint the words on the streets of this city.
00:54:41.000Boom, all crime solved in South Central Los Angeles, except for renaming things doesn't change anything and painting giant slogans on the street doesn't change anything.
00:54:49.000Here is Bill de Blasio not changing anything, but virtue signaling for the woke crew.
00:54:52.000And the proposal put on table was to name streets in each borough and to paint the words on the streets of this city.
00:55:02.000In each borough at a crucial location, one of which will be here near City Hall.
00:55:09.000But what will be clear the street name and on the streets of our city is that message that now this city must fully, fully, deeply feel and this nation must as well that black lives matter. - And the best way to message that is by painting that on the streets.
00:55:43.000Meanwhile, James Clyburn, Democrat from South Carolina, he suggested that the only violence he's been seeing is from police officers, which is...
00:56:01.000And Jenny Durkin is a far-left Democrat.
00:56:04.000And Antifa literally broke into her offices, and then just stood outside demanding that she quit, with Councilwoman Chama Sawant, the Open Socialist, egging it on.
00:56:15.000In fact, wherever it's tolerated, it has bloomed.
00:56:18.000But here's James Clyburn suggesting the only violence he's been seeing is from the cops, which is just high-level gaslighting here from James Clyburn.
01:00:45.000But if the idea is that you remove the cops and suddenly things get safer, I urge Trevor Noah to remove his entire security detail and see if things get better for him personally.
01:00:53.000I encourage Comedy Central to remove their entire private security detail and see how things go and publicly announce it.
01:01:00.000Like really, let's see how it goes for you.
01:01:01.000I encourage all the people who are in favor of gun control and believe that guns make America less safe and that self-defense is not a thing.
01:01:08.000I encourage them to all put signs on their lawn today saying this is a gun-free home.
01:01:15.000So New York's police union head, he came out yesterday and in impassioned fashion, he said, you need to stop treating us like racists and thugs.
01:01:21.000We're the people who are standing between human beings who are being victimized and their victimizers.
01:01:26.000And you're treating us like we're the problem?
01:01:28.000This is the head of the Police Benevolence Association in New York.
01:01:32.000Stop treating us like animals and thugs and start treating us with some respect.
01:02:22.000There are real ramifications to all of this social justice warrior posturing and bullcrap.
01:02:27.000And you're not making the country better by purging people for bad old tweets.
01:02:31.000And you're certainly not making the country better by forcing corporations to bend the knee in order to virtue signal.
01:02:37.000All you're doing is driving division in an area where we should all be on the same side.
01:02:40.000And you're certainly not making the country better by going after the cops and suggesting that anyone who speaks of cops positively is by nature a racist.
01:02:46.000You ready for a giant exodus of police officers from forces?
01:02:49.000You ready to make it impossible for anybody to join a police force?
01:02:51.000Get ready, gang, because reality hits you hard, bro, as a famous man once said.
01:02:56.000Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with two additional hours of content.
01:02:59.000Otherwise, we'll see you here tomorrow.
01:03:06.000The Ben Shapiro Show is produced by Colton Haas, Executive Producer Jeremy Boring, Supervising Producer Mathis Glover and Robert Sterling, Assistant Director Pavel Lydowsky, Technical Producer Austin Stevens, Playback and Media operated by Nick Sheehan, Associate Producer Katie Swinnerton, Edited by Adam Siovitz, Audio is mixed by Mike Koromina, Hair and Makeup is by Nika Geneva.
01:03:26.000The Ben Shapiro Show is a Daily Wire production.
01:03:31.000Hey everybody, it's Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show.
01:03:33.000You know, some people are depressed because the American Republic is collapsing, the end of days is approaching, and the moon has turned to blood.
01:03:40.000But on The Andrew Klavan Show, that's where the fun just gets started.
