Transgender man Meredith Russo was forced to use the women's bathroom at work even though he was born a woman. He explains why he felt he should have been able to go to the ladies' bathroom, and why it was so bad that he stopped going to the bathroom at all. But why did he go to management about it? And why did the company continue to employ him, even though it was clear that he should be able to pee in the ladies room? And why is it that only Meredith s feelings matter? Ben Shapiro explains why women are the only ones with the right to have their own bathroom and why men are the ones who need to get used to the idea that a woman in a dress walks into a women s bathroom. Plus, he explains why men should be expected not to do a double take when a man in a woman s uniform walks into the women s room. And why women should not have to deal with it the same way other people do when they see a guy in their own gender. Ben Shapiro: Only Meredith's feelings matter, and women are on their own, not the other way around!

00:00:00.000 On Tuesday, the New York Times ran an essay by transgender woman Meredith Russo, a person who was born a man, about how terrible it feels to have to use a bathroom corresponding to his birth gender. 0.96
00:00:10.000 Russo writes about how he felt he should be able to use the female restroom at work despite his penis. 0.98
00:00:16.000 Here's his tale of woe. 0.99
00:00:18.000 Things went well at first, with co-workers taking it in stride and customers reading my voice as female.
00:00:23.000 But then, one of my bosses demanded to speak with me.
00:00:26.000 She wanted to talk about bathrooms.
00:00:27.000 Have you had the surgery?
00:00:28.000 She asked.
00:00:29.000 Have you ever talked about your genitals? 0.85
00:00:31.000 With a superior at work? 0.85
00:00:32.000 It's not exactly a party.
00:00:33.000 I told her no.
00:00:35.000 Well then, you'll have to use the men's until you do. 0.95
00:00:37.000 We can't risk a lawsuit.
00:00:39.000 I headed to the men's room, where I waited for a solitary stall to open up.
00:00:42.000 I considered going all punk rock, hiking up my skirt at a urinal and flipping off any man who looked at me funny.
00:00:47.000 But there's probably no meeker creature on earth than a newly transitioned woman. 1.00
00:00:52.000 The man who emerged from the stall looked at me as if I were a jug of spoiled milk.
00:00:56.000 Some insisted that I was in the wrong place until they realized what I was and got really angry.
00:01:01.000 It got so bad that I stopped going to the bathroom at work altogether and developed urinary tract infections.
00:01:06.000 So then I stopped drinking water before and during work.
00:01:10.000 Okay.
00:01:11.000 First off, half of high school students avoid going to the bathroom because they don't like the risks they run in going to the bathroom at high schools.
00:01:18.000 I did this in middle school, okay?
00:01:19.000 And that's not because I was transgender. 0.96
00:01:20.000 It's because all the weirdos hung out in the bathroom.
00:01:23.000 Second, Meredith doesn't specify how such anger by other people manifested.
00:01:27.000 What did these evil, horrible men do to him aside from looking at him kind of weird?
00:01:31.000 Was he assaulted?
00:01:32.000 If so, why didn't he go to the police?
00:01:34.000 Was he harassed?
00:01:35.000 If so, why didn't he go to management?
00:01:37.000 And if the company was so terribly discriminatory, why did it continue to employ him despite his transgenderism?
00:01:43.000 But most importantly, Meredith feels he should have been able to saunter on over to the ladies' bathroom where he would have been treated with more dignity.
00:01:51.000 Except, presumably, women wouldn't feel any better about seeing Meredith there than men did.
00:01:55.000 Indeed, some women would feel a lot more threatened. 0.89
00:01:58.000 If Meredith didn't like being sneered at by men who saw him as a mentally ill person, Meredith probably wouldn't like it much more when women shied away from him in the women's room.
00:02:07.000 But the notion here in the end is that only Meredith's feelings matter.
00:02:11.000 Men must be expected not to do a double take when a dude in a dress walks into a bathroom. 0.98
00:02:15.000 Women must be expected to get used to men in dresses walking into their bathrooms. 1.00
00:02:19.000 Reality must always adjust to the transgender person. 1.00
00:02:22.000 The transgender person must never adjust to reality. 1.00
00:02:26.000 In the end, happy ending, Meredith ended up getting a book contract to write about transgenderism, enabling him to use the bathroom at home. 0.87
00:02:33.000 He wrote, quote,
00:02:52.000 Meredith doesn't provide any evidence or account of being physically attacked by other men.
00:02:55.000 This would be a felony in most jurisdictions, and perhaps even a federal hate crime.
00:02:59.000 Meredith doesn't explain why, at the risk of jailing or being held suspect for sexual harassment, he would continue to try to pee next to the ladies.
00:03:07.000 Most of all, Meredith doesn't explain why it's incumbent on everyone in society to embrace the lie that men are women, indoctrinate their children in that same damaging lie, and avoid treating serious mental illness, all to avoid making a few individuals uncomfortable.
00:03:21.000 But Meredith is the only person we're supposed to care about.
00:03:24.000 Women are on their own. 1.00
00:03:25.000 Men are the bad guys, even if they don't actually do anything terrible.
00:03:28.000 The realm of feelings requires no actual evidence.
00:03:31.000 Feelings, feelings.
00:03:32.000 Uber alas.
00:03:33.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:04:23.000 Okay, so, yesterday we talked about the left trolling the right into oblivion.
00:04:26.000 Today, it's pretty clear why people are voting for Donald Trump. 0.99
00:04:30.000 And the reason a lot of people are voting for Donald Trump, and I have sympathies for this, the reason a lot of people are voting for Donald Trump or backing Donald Trump is because the people who oppose Donald Trump on the left are out of their damn minds. 0.98
00:04:42.000 Out of their gourds, they're crazy, they're chaotic, and they're trying to recreate a really terrible period in American history that they still celebrate as something wonderful. 0.97
00:04:52.000 Yesterday Trump is speaking in Albuquerque, New Mexico and a bunch of anti-Trump protesters show up and here is what it looked like. 0.75
00:05:20.000 Okay, so what you can see happening here is lines of cops and people burning things and people with masks setting things on fire.
00:05:27.000 Now they're taking objects on fire and throwing them at the cops.
00:05:30.000 It's not full-scale furnace in here, but it ain't good.
00:05:38.000 Screaming and yelling is pretty normal, but people there with Mexican flags.
00:05:41.000 So that's one piece of tape.
00:05:43.000 And then here's another piece of tape.
00:05:44.000 A bunch of protesters holding Mexican flags, storming the barricades that are supposed to protect the people going to this Trump rally from all of the protesters. 0.99
00:05:53.000 And you can see signs in the crowd that say things like, no racist, fascist pigs. 0.99
00:05:57.000 And you can see Mexican flags in the crowd. 0.99
00:05:59.000 And here's what it looked like.
00:06:08.000 Okay, so, you're seeing all of these folks try to basically run into the building where Trump is holding his rally.
00:06:34.000 And they're breaking through barricades to do it.
00:06:36.000 It's not supremely violent yet, but it did get pretty violent.
00:06:39.000 It did get pretty bad.
00:06:40.000 People were throwing stones at folks.
00:06:44.000 And you can see what happened a little bit later in the evening.
00:06:47.000 Protesters started jumping on cop cars, for example.
00:06:50.000 So here's what that looked like.
00:06:52.000 There we see some protesters walking and jumping on police cars, some applauding there, and then running down the street as the police presumably started pursuing them.
00:07:09.000 And CNN correspondent Dan Simon was reporting from the scene, and here's what he saw.
00:07:14.000 This is late last night.
00:07:15.000 We're keeping a close eye on the situation.
00:07:16.000 Well, if you can see that there's some kind of explosive device right in front of us.
00:07:22.000 We're going to move... We're moving back, Wolf.
00:07:26.000 You can see the smoke.
00:07:28.000 I don't know if this is a flash grenade that police have just set off or if this is from the protesters, but you can see that things now are steadily eroding.
00:07:38.000 We're going to move back a little bit, Wolf.
00:07:40.000 You can see the smoke.
00:07:42.000 Now lots of protesters are throwing rocks at police.
00:07:46.000 This has now descended into chaos as we're moving back.
00:07:54.000 Okay, so you can see it's a bad situation.
00:07:56.000 These protesters are picking up rocks off the streets.
00:07:57.000 It looks like it's tear gas.
00:07:58.000 Is it tear gas over there?
00:07:59.000 We're still watching the situation, Wolf.
00:08:03.000 And it's probably 15 to 20 protesters who are chucking rocks at the cops.
00:08:08.000 Some type of smoke or flash grenade.
00:08:11.000 Not quite sure exactly what it was.
00:08:13.000 We're okay.
00:08:14.000 It's pretty tense out here.
00:08:17.000 But you get the sense that things could become even uglier as things continue to unfold.
00:08:24.000 Police, I would say, still showing some restraint.
00:08:28.000 You can see them back there behind the barricades.
00:08:30.000 Yeah, and the cops are basically letting it go.
00:08:32.000 So this is what it looked like on CNN.
00:08:33.000 On Fox News, Carl Cameron was reporting from the same scene, and he said he actually heard shots fired.
00:08:39.000 Potential riot.
00:08:41.000 There is tear gas in the parking lot as we speak.
00:08:44.000 Earlier in the evening, demonstrators outside tried to break their way into the building, trying to knock down a door.
00:08:50.000 They were unsuccessful in that.
00:08:51.000 There was rock-throwing, name-calling, and a lot of scuffles.
00:08:54.000 At one point, there was a shot fired.
00:08:56.000 There was a bullet that shattered a glass window of this facility.
00:09:00.000 At one point, a vendor with Trump t-shirts and hats had his table overturned and someone tried to set that on fire.
00:09:07.000 At another time, there was fire, quote, thrown at some of the mounted police who were trying to control the crowd.
00:09:13.000 This has gotten particularly nasty and is still ongoing.
00:09:17.000 Most of the people inside the building aren't being let out because of the tear gas just a few moments ago.
00:09:22.000 So it's good times all the way through.
00:09:23.000 And they're rioting, and they're creating chaos.
00:09:26.000 It's not full-scale Ferguson rioting, it's not full-scale Baltimore rioting, but it's ugly.
00:09:29.000 I mean, this is just a political rally.
00:09:31.000 I mean, this is not even in protest of something terrible happening.
00:09:36.000 This isn't in protest of supposed police cruelty.
00:09:40.000 This is a guy they don't like is talking in a place.
00:09:42.000 And so they showed up and started throwing things.
00:09:44.000 One of the Bernie Sanders supporters who showed up to protest this, she explained why there was all this violence in Albuquerque.
00:09:51.000 She's on CNN.
00:09:52.000 Here's what she had to say.
00:09:53.000 That was the whole beginning of the protest.
00:09:55.000 There's families out there.
00:09:56.000 We're having fun, you know.
00:09:58.000 It was to stop Trump's hate with love.
00:10:01.000 And then quickly, once the Trump supporters started coming in, and you see a Trump supporter, you know... 0.99
00:10:10.000 Go ahead, I know we've got a lot of... You know, you're useless, go to school, get a job.
00:10:18.000 When I went there with my brother and four of my friends who work 40 hours a week while going to school, and this is the idea they have of us because they're fed this idea by Trump. 0.99
00:10:29.000 Honestly, I don't blame them because in my opinion, Trump is a narcissistic, powerful, rich, sociopathic person. 0.81
00:10:36.000 And it's easy for him to use their fears to manipulate them. 0.77
00:10:43.000 Okay, so in other words, what she's saying is they said that we should go get a job and find something better to do with our time.
00:10:49.000 Certainly true.
00:10:51.000 And then they rioted.
00:10:53.000 So the response to, you're wasting your time and making bad decisions with your life is, I'll throw rocks at the cops.
00:10:59.000 That's the great response.
00:11:01.000 Now, a couple of things are happening here.
00:11:04.000 One is that the anti-Trump folks on the left are out of their minds.
00:11:07.000 Again, I'm as anti-Trump as anybody is on the right.
00:11:11.000 You don't see me out in the streets throwing rocks at Trump supporters because I'm not a nutcase, okay?
00:11:15.000 I didn't do it to Hillary Clinton supporters.
00:11:17.000 Violence in the name of your politics is not appropriate in a civilized society, okay?
00:11:21.000 It just isn't.
00:11:22.000 But nonetheless, this is what the left is now engaged in, and the left is poo-pooing it too.
00:11:26.000 So Chris Matthews on MSNBC, he's talking about this, I'm gonna be safe, and he's saying, well, it's not so bad.
00:11:31.000 Look at that, nobody's getting killed.
00:11:33.000 This isn't terrible.
00:11:34.000 What's the problem?
00:11:35.000 I don't understand.
00:11:37.000 So we continue to cover the protests there in the streets.
00:11:39.000 I don't think they're that violent.
00:11:40.000 Anyway, let's bring in Robert Costa of the Washington Post.
00:11:42.000 He's covering the Trump campaign, and he's gotten used to the pattern of things.
00:11:46.000 How do we assess the extent to which Trump is igniting these kinds of things by the locations he's selecting?
00:11:55.000 Okay, and then this is a perfect example of what the left does, right?
00:12:00.000 This is what they do.
00:12:01.000 They're the ones who are causing the violence, and they're out there blaming Trump.
00:12:04.000 It's not Trump's fault that people are coming and protesting him, and yelling at him, and throwing rocks at him, or at the cops.
00:12:10.000 What did the cops do to deserve any of this?
00:12:12.000 And when I spoke at Cal State L.A.
00:12:13.000 and there was a near-riot there, what did I... I don't like Trump.
00:12:17.000 I don't say the same things that Trump does.
00:12:18.000 Didn't matter.
00:12:19.000 There was still an almost-riot there.
00:12:20.000 People were getting pushed around in the crowd.
00:12:22.000 It was pretty much as bad as this, what you're watching here.
00:12:24.000 I mean, some people in the room right now were there, and they understand how bad it was.
00:12:28.000 Was that my fault, or was it the fault of the protesters and the administration for letting it go forward, and the fault of the professors for incentivizing it?
00:12:36.000 But Chris Matthews, he's not that bad.
00:12:37.000 I don't see anything that's terrible.
00:12:39.000 Chris Matthews is the same guy who says that Donald Trump protesters are routinely punching people on the other side.
00:12:45.000 Okay, you can't have it both ways.
00:12:46.000 I think that Trump does incentivize his followers to utilize violence.
00:12:50.000 I also think that the people on the left do the same and in worse ways in many cases.
00:12:55.000 But the left poo-poos it when it comes from them.
00:12:58.000 And just as another example, last night at DePaul College in Illinois,
00:13:03.000 A guy named Milo Yiannopoulos, who we've talked about on the show before.
00:13:05.000 I'm not a big Milo fan because he's an alt-right guy.
00:13:08.000 But Milo has every right to speak on a campus just as anybody else does.
00:13:11.000 Big Trump guy, big alt-right guy, and he's speaking on college campuses.
00:13:15.000 He's a provocateur, acknowledges that he's a provocateur.
00:13:18.000 So he goes to the campuses and the Black Lives Matter protesters show up and here's what that looks like.
00:13:26.000 I mean, hello darling.
00:13:30.000 Sir, please.
00:13:31.000 Do you need some help?
00:13:33.000 Sir, please.
00:13:34.000 Sir, please.
00:13:36.000 We'd like to ask you to please.
00:13:46.000 Sir, please.
00:13:47.000 Can we ask you to stop, please?
00:13:56.000 Sir!
00:14:00.000 Sir!
00:14:00.000 Get a job!
00:14:01.000 Get a job!
00:14:02.000 Get a job!
00:14:03.000 Get a job!
00:14:04.000 Get a job!
00:14:06.000 Get a job!
00:14:07.000 Get a job!
00:14:09.000 Get a job!
00:14:11.000 Get a job!
00:14:12.000 Get a job!
00:14:13.000 Get a job!
00:14:14.000 Get a job!
00:14:15.000 Get a job!
00:14:17.000 Get a job!
00:14:18.000 Get a job!
00:14:19.000 Get a job!
00:14:21.000 Get a job!
00:14:24.000 Okay, so it gets pretty radical and weird.
00:14:26.000 So for people who can't see what's going on, Milo is sitting up there on the right, and Milo, as this tour has gone on, has started wearing more stereotypically gay outfits each and every outing.
00:14:41.000 And he's sitting up there in kind of a cut-off t-shirt wearing a pearl
00:14:45.000 We're good to go.
00:15:11.000 Kind of tried to hit him, but not really, but it looks like she might.
00:15:13.000 And it's certainly, it's not battery, but it's certainly assault, right?
00:15:15.000 I mean, she's certainly threatening him.
00:15:17.000 And she's up there, and apparently, as this event went on, like 15 of the Black Lives Matter people crowd the stage, start screaming, take out whistles, are whistling into the microphones.
00:15:27.000 And the security, who were mandated by the school, they're just sitting to the side letting all of this happen.
00:15:31.000 So very much like what happened at Cal State LA.
00:15:34.000 Except maybe significantly less violent, but still really bad stuff.
00:15:39.000 So people look at this stuff.
00:15:40.000 Here's the deal.
00:15:41.000 People look at this stuff and they feel like the Democrats are embracing chaos.
00:15:44.000 And the reason they feel like the Democrats are embracing chaos is because the Democrats are embracing chaos.
00:15:49.000 Democrats like chaos.
00:15:51.000 For the left, most people are defined by a certain time in their life.
00:15:56.000 It's weird the way that time works in our lives.
00:15:58.000 We tend to think of ourselves as a certain age, right?
00:16:00.000 I'm 32 years old right now, but I always, no matter what, tend to think of myself as about 18 or 19, because that's when I was in college.
00:16:06.000 So I tend to think of myself as that age.
00:16:08.000 Most people have an age they think of themselves at.
00:16:10.000 You know, as my parents, if you ask my parents, what age do you think of yourself at?
00:16:14.000 They probably think of themselves as 30, right?
00:16:16.000 Young parents, and that's how they think of themselves, even though they're now 60.
00:16:20.000 Well, for Democrats, the age they think of... Republicans think of themselves as 1980s, right?
00:16:27.000 Big, booming economy, strong national defense, Ronald Reagan era, and 1950s in terms of traditional sexual morality, right?
00:16:34.000 Not in terms of segregation, obviously, but in terms of traditional sexual morality.
00:16:37.000 Democrats always think it's 1968.
00:16:40.000 This was the period.
00:16:40.000 This was their formational period.
00:16:42.000 This is the time when the Democrats became who the Democrats wanted to be.
00:16:45.000 Not John F. Kennedy.
00:16:47.000 Not FDR.
00:16:48.000 Abbie Hoffman and rioting in 1968 at the Democratic National Convention.
00:16:52.000 And riots in Detroit.
00:16:54.000 And riots on college campuses.
00:16:56.000 They worship this period. 0.66
00:16:57.000 This is the period when they became who they were and they see themselves as the great heroes of this period.
00:17:02.000 If you talk to them about the 60s, most Americans think of the 60s as a time of chaos and turmoil and tragedy, the killing of major figures like MLK, the destruction of the American military in the Vietnam War, the destruction of the American traditional lifestyle on the shoals of feminism and the gay rights movement.
00:17:19.000 The destruction of traditional notions of making your way in the world on the heels of the government welfare system.
00:17:25.000 All of this has tremendously negative ramifications for America, including the rise of single motherhood and the rise of crime and the destruction of the notion America is here to do good in the world and the destruction of the concept of America in our own heads, which we'll get to a little bit later. 0.79
00:17:40.000 The left sees this as a great period, because this was the period when they were finally able to break free of the restraints of traditional Americanism, and they love it.
00:17:48.000 So we need to flash back to 1968 and understand Democrats today are trying, they're trying to recreate 1968, the period when they felt most alive, the period when they felt most useful, and they've taught their kids and their grandkids, or somebody else's kids and grandkids most likely, that this was a great period, and if you really want to do something meaningful with your life, it has to be just like 1968.
00:18:09.000 Just a flashback.
00:18:09.000 This is what it looked like in 1968 when there was an actual riot at the Democratic National Convention.
00:18:14.000 Which, by the way, Bernie Sanders is now threatening at the next National Convention.
00:18:22.000 So violence gets worse and worse over the course of the week.
00:18:30.000 We're fighting the cops.
00:18:35.000 We're going rock to tops.
00:18:38.000 1100 people injured in one week.
00:18:56.000 So things get really ugly at the 68 convention.
00:18:59.000 This was a good time to the left.
00:19:00.000 Left like this.
00:19:02.000 Right?
00:19:02.000 The Detroit riots of 1967.
00:19:03.000 Understand, Detroit at this time was not a poor city.
00:19:06.000 Detroit in 1967 was maybe the best place in America for black people to live.
00:19:10.000 Seriously, like there are surveys of this.
00:19:12.000 Black people had the highest per capita income anywhere in America in Detroit.
00:19:15.000 They rioted anyway because the left was saying that there was too much racial animus for that ever to be bridged over with normal movement.
00:19:23.000 So this is what it looked like in Detroit in 1967 and you'll see it looks very much like Ferguson today or Baltimore today.
00:19:29.000 Both places that President Obama has been pushing as sort of forerunners and at the forefront of the American civil rights movement.
00:19:35.000 Here's what it looked like back in 1967.
00:19:39.000 1967 was the third summer of the burning and looting of the Black Death. 0.96
00:19:43.000 This was New York in July.
00:19:47.000 In New York, for the last time, we could still tell ourselves that the old answers would work.
00:19:52.000 In New York, Negroes were angry about the old evils. 1.00
00:19:56.000 Bad school. 0.98
00:19:57.000 Police brutality.
00:19:59.000 Bad housing.
00:20:01.000 Lack of political power.
00:20:03.000 We could still comfort ourselves in Newark that at least we understood the problem.
00:20:09.000 Rocks and bottles were thrown.
00:20:12.000 Shortly after six o'clock, the first store was broken into by the crowd.
00:20:16.000 Okay, so we can stop it here.
00:20:17.000 So this is the same sort of thing, and you can hear NBC News is covering this now, right?
00:20:20.000 This is sort of retrospective.
00:20:21.000 This is a couple of years after Detroit, and you can hear how they like it.
00:20:27.000 Right?
00:20:28.000 We understand that it's all the old problems.
00:20:30.000 Police brutality, cruelty, nastiness.
00:20:32.000 And then they go right into people robbing stores.
00:20:34.000 Okay, robbing stores has nothing to do with protesting police brutality.
00:20:37.000 But for the left, they look at Ferguson and Baltimore, they say exactly the same things now, they said back in 1967 when this was happening.
00:20:44.000 The left yearns for this period.
00:20:45.000 They yearn for it.
00:20:46.000 Which is why they're constantly trying to say, Republicans want to take us back to the 50s, because then they can say, when we want to go back to 68, well, at least 68 was after 50, right?
00:20:56.000 In order to get back to 1968, they have to go back before 1968, and then say, that's where we are, and now we need a 1968-type corrective for that.
00:21:03.000 Same thing at Berkeley.
00:21:04.000 Berkeley had riots in 1970.
00:21:06.000 These riots, by the way, were ended by Governor Ronald Reagan literally rolling tanks into the center of Berkeley.
00:21:11.000 Here's what it looked like at Berkeley in 1970, and this was not rare.
00:21:13.000 There they are, smashing windows on cars and overturning cars.
00:21:24.000 All these hippie students.
00:21:26.000 Right?
00:21:27.000 Does this look a lot like what was happening in New Mexico?
00:21:29.000 Yeah, it does.
00:21:35.000 Really doing worthwhile things in the world, turning over cars.
00:21:39.000 They took over student administration buildings and occupied them.
00:21:44.000 And you can hear the music.
00:21:45.000 This is produced by people who think these were great moments in American history.
00:21:49.000 This is a good thing.
00:21:54.000 And this is typical on college campuses, so we can stop that.
00:21:57.000 So, the left is seeking to recreate all of this.
00:22:00.000 Note for note, they're seeking to recreate this.
00:22:02.000 They want the riots at the convention again because it makes them feel young and special.
00:22:06.000 And they want the riots in the inner cities because it makes them feel racially justified.
00:22:10.000 And they want the riots on campus because it makes them feel that they're striking back against some sort of intellectual authority. 0.93
00:22:16.000 And so the big question is, at least in the 1960s, you could argue bad crap was happening.
00:22:20.000 Right, I mean, the Vietnam War was in full swing.
00:22:22.000 Whether you liked it or didn't like it, it was at least controversial.
00:22:25.000 You could at least argue that there was a legacy of racism that had ended, or at least they were trying to end, like three years before.
00:22:31.000 I mean, when you're having a race riot in 1967, and the Civil Rights Act of 64 is only a couple years old, you can at least say, okay, Jim Crow is still, they're still fighting Jim Crow. 0.62
00:22:39.000 Okay, maybe, although not in Detroit, obviously, because there was no Jim Crow in Detroit.
00:22:43.000 Right?
00:22:44.000 When you say on college campuses, that was a lot less justified, generally, because there wasn't really anything wrong with the college campuses.
00:22:49.000 But what's wrong now?
00:22:51.000 What's wrong now?
00:22:51.000 Transgender bathrooms?
00:22:52.000 Like, why are you rioting?
00:22:53.000 And the answer is, the answer is, and I've read this quote before, young people constantly need a feeling of community movement.
00:23:02.000 They want to feel like they're part of a battle, and like they're part of a movement that's going to go to battle.
00:23:05.000 That's what they want to feel like.
00:23:06.000 It's why Trump is sucking people in on the right the same way that Bernie Sanders is sucking people in on the left.
00:23:11.000 Everybody, young and old, wants to feel like they're part of a movement, but this is particularly true of young people in their first flush of vigor who feel like, okay, now we can change the world if we just stand together, who feel like
00:23:23.000 Controlling the problems of the world is only us getting together, us unifying away.
00:23:28.000 If we just held hands and sang Kumbaya, everything would be all better.
00:23:32.000 This goes all the way back to the beginning.
00:23:34.000 I mean, this goes all the way back to the beginning of time, and it's been true forever.
00:23:37.000 George Orwell wrote this about the Nazi movement in 1940.
00:23:41.000 Here's what he wrote.
00:23:42.000 He was talking about why young people fall into the trap of following Hitler.
00:23:44.000 He said, Nearly all Western thought since the last war, certainly all progressive thought, has assumed tacitly that human beings desire nothing beyond ease,
00:23:52.000 Security and avoidance of pain.
00:23:54.000 In such a view of life, there is no room, for instance, for patriotism and the military virtues.
00:23:59.000 Hitler, because in his own joyless mind he feels it with exceptional strength, knows that human beings don't only want comfort, safety, short working hours, hygiene, birth control, and, in general, common sense. 0.86
00:24:10.000 They also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flags, and loyalty parades.
00:24:17.000 And that's what's happening.
00:24:18.000 People feel the need to be part of a movement.
00:24:20.000 Now, it used to be in America that this need to be part of a movement was filled by your social clubs.
00:24:26.000 It was filled by the fact that you went to church with people, and you worshipped with people, and you did charity with people, right?
00:24:32.000 That was the idea, was that we had that in common.
00:24:34.000 So if you're part of a mass movement, you're part of a mass religious movement.
00:24:36.000 People trying to do good for the world without tearing things down.
00:24:40.000 But when you get rid of that, when you say to young people, okay, we're not gonna
00:24:42.000 Get together to worship God and understand the cosmic justice of the universe.
00:24:46.000 Instead, we're gonna get together to change the world.
00:24:50.000 And the way we're gonna change the world is by tearing down the structure.
00:24:53.000 It's very seductive to a lot of people, and that's what you're seeing happen.
00:24:55.000 So, the predictable result of all of this is the people fall right into Trumpism, right?
00:25:00.000 I mean, because I look at this stuff and I go, okay, whoever is these, who's not these people, I'm with him, right?
00:25:06.000 And this is what happened in 1968.
00:25:06.000 In 1968, the Republicans nominated Richard Nixon.
00:25:10.000 Richard Nixon was wildly unpopular then.
00:25:13.000 Nobody liked Richard Nixon in 1968.
00:25:15.000 He's already been unpopular enough in 1960 to come off of the Eisenhower presidency and lose to John F. Kennedy.
00:25:21.000 So he lost to John F. Kennedy, he disappeared from politics, kind of like Newt Gingrich for a while, and then he came back in 1968 and he wins the nomination.
00:25:29.000 So you have this wildly unpopular Republican with no sense of real kindness about him.
00:25:37.000 A very harsh guy, Nixon, at least in the public eye.
00:25:40.000 And you have Nixon out there, and he's fighting against the Democrats who are tearing apart the country, and he looks like a safe, good alternative.
00:25:48.000 Donald Trump is not a very stable individual, just generally speaking, but when you put him up next to these folks, he looks a lot more stable.
00:25:55.000 You put him up next to the people who are throwing rocks and bottles at the cops, and he's saying, I stand with the cops?
00:26:00.000 And people say, okay, okay, and this is what you see from Trump.
00:26:05.000 So Donald Trump, he's slamming the thugs who are at the rally.
00:26:07.000 Here's what he tweeted.
00:26:08.000 He said, So put aside the typical Trumpian syntax here.
00:26:21.000 What these protesters are doing for Trump is justifying everything that he says.
00:26:24.000 So he says that Mexico is shipping in criminals, so the response of people who are against his immigration policy are to fly the Mexican flag while throwing bottles and rocks at the cops. 0.73
00:26:35.000 These are criminals. 0.97
00:26:36.000 These are criminals with an exclamation point.
00:26:38.000 And Trump is right.
00:26:40.000 Now Trump continued along these lines.
00:26:42.000 He says that the war veterans, there are a bunch of war veterans apparently who showed up to protest Trump, and he said these people were all paid by Hillary Clinton.
00:26:49.000 Yesterday, we had pickets in front of Trump Tower, and they were vets.
00:26:55.000 Not a lot of them, very few, just so you understand.
00:26:58.000 And I said, I don't understand.
00:26:59.000 In fact, I was going to go out and talk to him.
00:27:01.000 I said, I don't understand.
00:27:03.000 How can the vets pick a Trump Tower? 0.63
00:27:04.000 How can they do that?
00:27:05.000 I raised millions of dollars.
00:27:07.000 How could they pick a Trump Tower?
00:27:09.000 And I didn't understand it, but the time went by and they left and that was the end.
00:27:12.000 And then today they did a story that the vets were put there by Hillary Clinton.
00:27:17.000 Crooked Hillary Clinton put the vets there. 1.00
00:27:20.000 She is so crooked. 0.96
00:27:22.000 She put the vets there. 1.00
00:27:24.000 That's how they went.
00:27:26.000 That's how that... I'm wondering all day.
00:27:29.000 I never even thought of it.
00:27:31.000 The good news is that one of the papers, the media, found out that Hillary Clinton was involved.
00:27:39.000 Crooked Hillary. 1.00
00:27:40.000 And she is as crooked as you get, believe me. 0.99
00:27:42.000 Just read the book. 0.98
00:27:43.000 Read the book.
00:27:45.000 That she was involved with putting the vets.
00:27:46.000 And now I say, oh, I understand it.
00:27:48.000 It's called Welcome to the Terrible World of Politics.
00:27:52.000 Okay, so he says that Hillary is paying off all of these people to picket outside of Trump Tower.
00:27:58.000 And this was reported by the Daily Beast, that Hillary had basically set up the Veterans Against Trump protest. 0.97
00:28:05.000 But the sentiment is, okay, you know, if these are the people who are against Trump, then I'm for Trump, right?
00:28:11.000 The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:28:13.000 If these are the people who are against Trump, then I'm pro-Trump.
00:28:16.000 And Trump continues to play this game and play it well.
00:28:18.000 So Elizabeth Warren, the senator from Massachusetts,
00:28:21.000 She comes out and she calls Donald Trump a small, insecure money grubber.
00:28:24.000 This is her new attack on Trump.
00:28:26.000 She says he's a bad guy, he's a small, insecure money grubber, and Donald Trump promptly knocks her into next week.
00:28:32.000 Donald Trump responds by tweeting out,
00:28:40.000 This is exactly right.
00:28:41.000 She made a bunch of money, apparently, by buying some foreclosed housing, flipping it, and selling it. 1.00
00:28:46.000 Right?
00:28:46.000 And so she's ripping on Donald Trump for being uncaring and a money grubber and all this.
00:28:52.000 So this is why people like Trump.
00:28:53.000 Because Trump fights, right?
00:28:54.000 This is the idea.
00:28:55.000 Trump fights.
00:28:56.000 And Trump's people fight.
00:28:57.000 So Trump has a surrogate out there, and his surrogate is out there making the case that Hillary isn't fit because even Bill can't stand Hillary.
00:29:06.000 I've heard people say, I don't know who to choose, Trump or Hillary.
00:29:11.000 Even Bill Clinton chose other women. 1.00
00:29:14.000 So you should too!
00:29:16.000 Okay, so that's a line that I'm not sure is advisable for a presidential campaign, but it is funny.
00:29:24.000 So the idea is Trump never stops fighting.
00:29:26.000 It's always a fight, right?
00:29:27.000 It's always a war. 0.59
00:29:28.000 It's always a fight.
00:29:29.000 He's a hammer in search of a nail.
00:29:30.000 Same thing with Ed Rendell.
00:29:31.000 So Ed Rendell is the former mayor of Philadelphia.
00:29:33.000 Ed Rendell, he came out and he said that Donald Trump
00:29:37.000 Don't even joke a little bit.
00:29:38.000 You know, don't even joke a little bit.
00:29:40.000 You know, Ed Rendell, okay?
00:29:41.000 He was the mayor of Philadelphia.
00:29:42.000 He's a big, big Hillary Clinton supporter, okay?
00:30:02.000 Think of this.
00:30:03.000 I was so angry when I heard him say this.
00:30:05.000 But Ed Rendell, big, big, women love, and I love women. 1.00
00:30:09.000 Shout it out!
00:30:10.000 Shout it out!
00:30:11.000 She said, women love you! 1.00
00:30:13.000 I love women! 1.00
00:30:15.000 Okay. 0.99
00:30:17.000 But Ed Rendell, one of Hillary Clinton's biggest supporters, said that half the women in the United States, something to this effect, half the women in the United States are ugly. 1.00
00:30:28.000 Nobody even talks about it. 0.96
00:30:30.000 Nobody talks about it.
00:30:31.000 Can you imagine if I made that statement?
00:30:34.000 It would be the electric chair!
00:30:37.000 And I don't believe that either, by the way.
00:30:39.000 But he made that statement.
00:30:41.000 And I said, oh, he said, you don't even hear about it.
00:30:44.000 You don't even hear about it. 0.99
00:30:45.000 First of all, first of all, Trump believes significantly more than half of the American female population is ugly. 0.99
00:30:49.000 OK, he thinks Heidi Cruz is ugly. 0.99
00:30:51.000 OK, I'm going to go with at least 0.96
00:30:54.000 At least 75% of women in the United States are less good-looking than Heidi Cruz. 0.98
00:30:58.000 Is that fair?
00:30:58.000 I think that's relatively fair.
00:30:59.000 She's not an ugly woman by any stretch of the imagination.
00:31:01.000 She's like a normal-looking gal, Heidi Cruz. 0.99
00:31:04.000 I mean, just on age alone, you know, the idea that Donald Trump thinks that all women are beautiful.
00:31:09.000 Whenever Donald Trump says, I love women, 0.96
00:31:12.000 All I can flash to is just him with his bikini models.
00:31:14.000 I mean, because that's really what women he loved. 0.89
00:31:17.000 But in any case, Donald Trump says all this, and you go, okay, he's fighting.
00:31:20.000 He's fighting.
00:31:20.000 Look at how terrible these people are he's facing.
00:31:22.000 He's fighting.
00:31:22.000 So I got a couple emails last night, and this isn't the mailbag, but I got a couple emails saying exactly the same thing.
00:31:28.000 So, this guy named Mitchell, he writes to me, says, I'm a conservative, but the Milo Yiannopoulos incident in Tepal, we played the tape a few minutes ago, was the straw that broke the camel's back.
00:31:37.000 Conservatism has failed.
00:31:39.000 Small government and constitutional liberties are being self-censored by normal citizens of America.
00:31:43.000 Conservative principles haven't delivered.
00:31:45.000 Year after year broken promises.
00:31:47.000 It's all the same.
00:31:48.000 The right needs to get it beat into their heads that this is a war.
00:31:51.000 That's why conservatism is going to fail, because it isn't willing to get in the gutter and do what is necessary to preserve its way of life.
00:31:57.000 F it.
00:31:58.000 I'd rather have a tough guy in my corner than a prep school p-word. 1.00
00:32:01.000 Tired, sad, desperate, frankly.
00:32:02.000 Okay, so, a couple of things.
00:32:05.000 First of all, conservatism didn't fail.
00:32:07.000 Civility failed.
00:32:08.000 Civility failed.
00:32:09.000 Right?
00:32:09.000 The ideas of a conservatism, nothing says conservatism has to be polite.
00:32:13.000 Nothing says conservatism has to be about kowtowing to these people.
00:32:17.000 Right?
00:32:17.000 You can say exactly- Listen, I'm very conservative.
00:32:19.000 I've said things much harsher about protesters than Donald Trump has said.
00:32:22.000 Go watch my speech at Cal State LA and tell me.
00:32:25.000 I'm a conservative.
00:32:26.000 Okay?
00:32:26.000 I'm saying things about protesters that Trump wouldn't dream of saying.
00:32:30.000 And so it's not conservatism that has failed, it's civility that's failed.
00:32:34.000 I agree, civility has failed.
00:32:35.000 The problem is people have identified civility with conservatism for so long, because there's this sort of Russell Kirk idea as a philosopher, who says that conservatism is essentially about conserving civility and the social fabric, as opposed to conserving small government and basic conservative philosophy.
00:32:52.000 When you believe that, of course you think conservatism fails and you just go for the guy who's in a rusty knife fight.
00:32:57.000 Got this one from Dustin, same sort of notion.
00:32:59.000 I'm now at the point where I feel I must vote for Trump.
00:33:01.000 I hate Trump. 0.86
00:33:02.000 I hate the protesters I saw at CSULA and DePaul. 1.00
00:33:05.000 I want to shove Trump down their throat. 0.99
00:33:07.000 People need a way to collectively fight those fascists. 0.99
00:33:09.000 If there was a conservative wave organizing against these awful people, I'd jump into that.
00:33:13.000 Right now, the only ones fighting are those who chant Trump at the fascists.
00:33:17.000 It's all very upsetting.
00:33:18.000 Hopefully you can change my mind and give me a better idea.
00:33:20.000 So,
00:33:20.000 I am working on this.
00:33:21.000 It's taking a little while, but I am working on the idea of consolidating a movement here, which is why I suggest you subscribe, and also email me directly at bshapiro at dailywire.com.
00:33:30.000 Give Lindsay some more mail to read. 1.00
00:33:31.000 We have compiled a pretty massive email list of people who want to get involved in a movement.
00:33:36.000 The best way to fight the left is not to shout Trump at them.
00:33:39.000 It's not to shout Trump at them.
00:33:41.000 And I'll tell you why in one second why that's not the best way to fight the left.
00:33:44.000 These people must be fought and they must be fought tooth and claw.
00:33:48.000 They must be fought hammer and tongs.
00:33:50.000 There's no way not to fight them.
00:33:51.000 The one thing I like about Trump is that he will fight them.
00:33:53.000 The one problem I have with Trump, and this has been true from the very start,
00:33:56.000 Is that Donald Trump is not just an imperfect vessel, he is a broken vessel.
00:34:00.000 So the same Donald Trump who's fighting the left does stuff like this.
00:34:03.000 So, it came out, Donald Trump was asked, he's been saying for a long time that he gave a bunch of money to the veterans, right?
00:34:12.000 You remember a few months ago, he was supposed to be part of a Fox News debate with Megyn Kelly, he copped out on it and then he did his event to raise money for the veterans and he invited Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum and all the rest of the loser crew.
00:34:24.000 And he goes there and he supposedly raises $6 million.
00:34:27.000 And people have been asking ever since, well, where did that $6 million go?
00:34:31.000 Like, can you show us proof that it actually went to veterans charities?
00:34:34.000 Well, as one Washington Post reporter, Trump said he had pledged $1 million to a veterans charity.
00:34:39.000 This one Washington Post reporter stayed on it, doggedly stayed on it, stayed on it.
00:34:43.000 And finally, this week, this week, like three months after this happened, Trump finally was shamed into signing a $1 million check to the veterans.
00:34:50.000 Right?
00:34:50.000 After saying for months that he signed a $1 million check to the veterans, he finally had to do it.
00:34:54.000 So what happened?
00:34:55.000 Trump lashed out at the reporter.
00:34:56.000 Right?
00:34:57.000 The reporter was the bad guys.
00:34:58.000 Here is a Washington Post reporter.
00:35:01.000 Trump on stage had said, I gave, past tense, a million dollars of my own money to help veterans.
00:35:07.000 And we found no sign of it anywhere.
00:35:09.000 Nobody that we talked to that had gotten donations out of this effort had gotten them from Trump.
00:35:13.000 Trump wrote a couple of sort of angry, critical tweets about our reporting called it dishonest, disgraceful.
00:35:19.000 At the same time, last night, Trump actually called up somebody, a charity that he had actually donated to before, and in one fell swoop gave a million dollars.
00:35:27.000 One call, one million dollars to one charity.
00:35:29.000 So it turned out that for almost four months, when Trump had said he'd given his million, even as late as Friday when his campaign said, yes, he's definitely given the money away, he hadn't actually given anything away.
00:35:38.000 It was only our questions, my tweets, my efforts to pressure Trump that seemed to have produced this gift.
00:35:47.000 Now, I asked Trump today when he called, are you sure you didn't give the money now because we were asking about it?
00:35:52.000 And Trump called me a nasty guy. 0.96
00:35:54.000 He said, you're a very nasty guy. 0.69
00:35:56.000 I had no obligation to do anything or to do so, and I get nothing but bad press from the dishonest media.
00:36:03.000 Trump's campaign has promised to distribute the remaining money, however much they raise, 5.5 million, 4.5, 6, whatever the remainder is that hasn't been given away, and I found about 3.1 million that's already been given away, now 4.1 million with Trump.
00:36:16.000 Okay, so they had to pry the money out of Trump's grubby little hands, right?
00:36:20.000 So this is why I say, like, you want to protest these bad people?
00:36:37.000 Do it by all means, but find somebody who's a better vessel than Trump, because when you sign up for Trump, you're signing up for Trump, along with all that entails.
00:36:44.000 I mean, you look at that video of him and he's complaining about, he's a nasty guy for asking me to actually turn over the- I didn't have any obligation to turn over that money.
00:36:51.000 You've been lying for months that you already did.
00:36:54.000 So you did a little bit, and when you tell the veterans you're gonna give them a million dollars and then you jack the veterans, yeah, you sort of have a moral obligation not to jack the veterans.
00:37:02.000 Sorry, that's just the truth.
00:37:04.000 Same thing with Trump and Paul Ryan.
00:37:05.000 So last night, breaking news, Paul Ryan was going to endorse Trump.
00:37:09.000 This was reported by Bloomberg and NBC News and ABC News has picked up everywhere.
00:37:12.000 The Trump campaign says Speaker Ryan regrets his rift with Donald Trump and wants to make up with Trump and endorse Trump.
00:37:19.000 So this goes up over the wires.
00:37:21.000 This morning, Speaker Ryan comes out.
00:37:23.000 He says, I never said any of that.
00:37:24.000 I don't regret any rift with Trump.
00:37:26.000 I'm not endorsing Trump.
00:37:27.000 I have no plans to endorse Trump right now.
00:37:29.000 So Trump just made it up and distributed it out there.
00:37:32.000 All right, this is the vessel.
00:37:34.000 Okay, you can have a better vessel than this.
00:37:35.000 Be your own vessel, for God's sake.
00:37:37.000 You don't always need a vessel either.
00:37:38.000 You can be your own vessel.
00:37:40.000 You're part of a movement.
00:37:40.000 I'm here with you, okay?
00:37:41.000 You don't need somebody to be your front man.
00:37:44.000 And if you are gonna pick a front man, it doesn't have to look like Donald Trump.
00:37:47.000 Donald Trump, who yesterday was doing his routine about Vince Foster that we talked about, how Vince Foster
00:37:52.000 Didn't commit suicide, he was murdered by the Clintons, but he doesn't know enough about it to comment on it, but he sort of does, and so he sort of thinks it happened, but he sort of doesn't, and he's not really saying about it, but if he were, he would say that Vince Foster was killed by the Clintons, right?
00:38:04.000 Katrina Pearson, who is his less-than-stellar spokeswoman, was on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, and she was asked about this.
00:38:11.000 This is the person who you're picking?
00:38:12.000 This is your rebuttal to the left?
00:38:14.000 Your rebuttal to the left is this?
00:38:16.000 I was the White House correspondent for CNN in 1993, 1999.
00:38:19.000 I remember all of that very vividly.
00:38:22.000 It was a sad, sad moment for everyone involved, especially Vince Foster's family.
00:38:28.000 And now for the Republican presidential presumptive nominee to revive all of that at this stage, that seems beneath Donald Trump.
00:38:38.000 No, he made an observation.
00:38:40.000 He says, I don't know enough about that to make an observation.
00:38:43.000 Does Donald Trump believe he committed suicide?
00:38:45.000 He said he didn't know enough about the information.
00:38:47.000 I'm sure he will learn enough about the information if he's asked again, but he simply said he didn't know to make that judgment.
00:38:53.000 Because you yourself said there were five investigations, all of which concluded he committed suicide.
00:38:58.000 But you can also look at the Daily Mail in 2008.
00:39:00.000 I mean, what else does he need to know besides unsubstantiated?
00:39:04.000 Everyone concluded it was suicide.
00:39:06.000 Yes, you're right.
00:39:07.000 So Donald Trump should know that, right?
00:39:08.000 We should believe everything the media and the government says.
00:39:10.000 Mr. Trump simply said,
00:39:12.000 He did not have enough information to make that judgment.
00:39:15.000 So you believe in that conspiracy theory?
00:39:17.000 I haven't read enough about it.
00:39:18.000 I have the same response that Mr. Trump has.
00:39:20.000 I don't know enough about it to draw a conclusion.
00:39:23.000 You break it, you bought it, gang.
00:39:24.000 And you broke the Republican Party and you bought this.
00:39:27.000 And so if you choose Trump as your vessel, this is what you get.
00:39:29.000 And you're going to be in league with people like Alex Jones.
00:39:31.000 So Alex Jones is a full-on conspiracy theory nutcase.
00:39:35.000 And Alex Jones is a screaming
00:39:39.000 Insane person. 0.98
00:39:40.000 And so he was ripping on Glenn Beck, calling Glenn Beck the new American psycho. 0.75
00:39:43.000 This guy has been a big Trump backer since the very start, and a lot of the conspiracy theories Trump parrots come courtesy of people like Alex Jones, right?
00:39:51.000 Here he is ripping Glenn Beck.
00:39:53.000 And they're going with this psycho look more and more. 0.98
00:39:54.000 I see more and more guys on Fox News, reporters, that look like psychopaths. 0.93
00:39:58.000 Just the perfect hair, the perfect little face, and the sociopathic look in their little loving eyes. 0.99
00:40:05.000 Now there's that.
00:40:07.000 Yeah, but let's show the American Psycho when he's being friendly, when he's being nice, not when he's killing.
00:40:11.000 And then let's, let's, let's, let's then cut to Glenn Beck and Mark Zuckerberg, and you just see the look, because the eyes are like shark eyes.
00:40:20.000 They're smiling, trying to look friendly, but it's an adapted face, just like a anglerfish.
00:40:26.000 It looks like a pretty light, looks like a tasty, you know, glow-in-the-dark plankton.
00:40:31.000 And the little fish thinks, boy, I found a big old juicy plankton or a big old... Oh!
00:40:35.000 But you see, you don't see in the dark... What is he talking about?
00:40:38.000 ...laying there, stalking the big black fish with the big long teeth and the little shark eyes.
00:40:47.000 Because there's nothing behind him but...
00:40:50.000 The gates of hell come into the darkness.
00:40:54.000 If you saw Zuckerberg right now, you'd understand what I'm talking about.
00:40:57.000 Hello.
00:40:58.000 There's another little Fred.
00:41:01.000 Come to me.
00:41:02.000 Come to me, my child.
00:41:03.000 I have ice cream in the van.
00:41:08.000 In the white van.
00:41:09.000 I have candy.
00:41:12.000 Puppies!
00:41:13.000 Puppies!
00:41:13.000 Puppies!
00:41:28.000 Where you will presumably live with Chris Farley, if you listen to Alex Jones, okay?
00:41:32.000 This is, this is the guy, Alex Jones is the guy who has accused the American government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11th attacks, Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting he said was a false flag to grab all the guns. 0.91
00:41:43.000 He's a total nutcase.
00:41:44.000 I mean, he's literally, he actually has said that Michelle Obama is a man. 1.00
00:41:47.000 He's legitimately a crazy person, right? 0.87
00:41:50.000 But this is the kind of person that you're siding with. 0.97
00:41:52.000 Don't be that person, okay?
00:41:54.000 Don't be that.
00:41:55.000 Just because you think that the rioters in New Mexico are bad, which they are, be your own person.
00:42:00.000 You don't have to be an Alex Jones Trumper.
00:42:02.000 You don't have to do that.
00:42:03.000 You don't have to say Donald Trump is my vehicle.
00:42:05.000 The proper response to people screaming at you when you're going to a political rally or an event
00:42:12.000 Isn't Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, okay? 0.84
00:42:15.000 It just makes you a sad sack.
00:42:18.000 It makes you a follower.
00:42:19.000 Instead, why shouldn't your response be, be a human being, be a mensch, right? 0.97
00:42:23.000 Just be a decent human being to these people.
00:42:26.000 Actually, the best thing, and this was for things I like, but this was the best response.
00:42:31.000 So Milo's event happens.
00:42:33.000 And Milo didn't have anything particularly great to say because they shut him down.
00:42:37.000 I mean, he couldn't say anything.
00:42:39.000 But this one girl gets up, and this is great.
00:42:41.000 She's a member of the College Republicans, and she grabs a mic, and she starts lecturing the Black Lives Matter people who shut down the event, and here's what she had to say.
00:42:48.000 This is the hero of the story right here.
00:42:50.000 Madam, do you want to come up?
00:42:52.000 Do you want to come up?
00:43:00.000 All right, you guys really need to check yourself.
00:43:03.000 Let her talk! 1.00
00:43:04.000 Let her talk! 1.00
00:43:06.000 Let her talk! 1.00
00:43:07.000 You were complaining about how we wouldn't let you in, and if what we say and what we do is about letting people in and acceptance, then by all means, we'd let you in.
00:43:19.000 All right, please, Katie.
00:43:22.000 But you're in a place, and you're not respecting it.
00:43:32.000 You paid for this event!
00:43:33.000 Are you looking at me and telling me that you paid for this event?
00:43:36.000 Please remain seated.
00:43:55.000 I believe she has a First Amendment right to speak. 0.83
00:43:57.000 I'm a white supremacist now because I believe in hard work and deciding that I need to make a life for myself.
00:44:08.000 Makes me a racist, a bigot, and a white supremacist.
00:44:19.000 You know I'm super cute. 0.98
00:44:20.000 Love it.
00:44:20.000 Just look at it.
00:44:21.000 I'm amazing.
00:44:23.000 Then great!
00:44:24.000 Then you're not working hard right now.
00:44:26.000 You're being lazy and disrespectful.
00:44:28.000 And I'm pretty sure your parents didn't raise you to be disrespectful. 0.83
00:44:33.000 Okay, so this is what we need.
00:44:36.000 Be this person.
00:44:37.000 Be this person.
00:44:38.000 Be this gal. 1.00
00:44:38.000 This is a black girl who gets up on stage and she's lecturing the Black Lives Matter people. 1.00
00:44:42.000 Get a life. 0.99
00:44:43.000 Do something with your life.
00:44:44.000 Your parents didn't raise you to be like this.
00:44:45.000 She's not getting up there and just shouting Trump at these people. 0.98
00:44:48.000 She's getting up there and she's delivering a message.
00:44:50.000 Do something with your life.
00:44:51.000 Be her.
00:44:52.000 Be her.
00:44:52.000 Don't be the Trumpkin.
00:44:53.000 Don't be the Make America Great person with the hat on who thinks that's the ultimate response.
00:44:58.000 That's not.
00:44:58.000 It's not.
00:44:59.000 It's trolling, and trolling is fun, but be that girl. 0.89
00:45:02.000 Be that girl, because she's the one who's actually gonna make a difference.
00:45:05.000 She's the one who's gonna be the future of the conservative movement and the future of the country.
00:45:08.000 Be her if you're gonna be anybody. 0.57
00:45:11.000 Okay, a couple quick notes here. 0.65
00:45:12.000 Hillary Clinton continues to be awful at legitimately everything on Earth. 1.00
00:45:15.000 I mean, she's just bad at everything. 0.98
00:45:18.000 So, Hillary Clinton was asked by Ellen DeGeneres
00:45:23.000 Listen to Hillary Clinton's answer. 0.92
00:45:25.000 She's awful at everything there is to be awful at on planet Earth. 0.51
00:45:28.000 It's incredible. 0.98
00:45:28.000 She can't take a bowel movement without being particularly awful. 0.98
00:45:32.000 She's awful at everything. 0.97
00:45:33.000 Here she is. 0.98
00:45:34.000 Let's talk about Donald Trump.
00:45:35.000 Yes.
00:45:37.000 I just recently heard him say that he says he will be good for women.
00:45:42.000 What do you think of that?
00:45:43.000 Well, I would need a lot more information based on what I hear him say, because he has been very derogatory toward all kinds of women.
00:45:54.000 He has specifically called out women by name, insulted them.
00:46:01.000 Said that equal pay isn't a real issue.
00:46:03.000 He doesn't seem to think that we need to do anything to create more jobs and raise incomes.
00:46:09.000 And a lot of women are helping to support their families, or maybe they're the only support. 1.00
00:46:14.000 And he actually says wages are too high in America.
00:46:17.000 So I'm sure there is somebody somewhere that he might be good for.
00:46:23.000 But I think overall, there's just no evidence that he has an understanding of what women's lives are like today.
00:46:31.000 He's gonna be the nominee.
00:46:33.000 I can't, I can't.
00:46:34.000 She's so intensely boring. 0.97
00:46:36.000 So first of all, she's sitting there dressed like President Snow from the Hunger Games.
00:46:39.000 But second of all,
00:46:40.000 She's doing this routine where the answer to, is Donald Trump... I mean, that's such a softball right over the heart of the plate from Ellen. 0.96
00:46:47.000 You know, is Donald Trump good for women? 0.59
00:46:48.000 The answer is no, of course Donald Trump isn't good for women. 1.00
00:46:50.000 He disdains women.
00:46:51.000 He speaks badly about women. 1.00
00:46:53.000 He's a guy who sees women as pieces of meat. 0.99
00:46:56.000 He says that female reporters he doesn't like are bleeding from their wherever. 0.97
00:47:00.000 He says that female candidates he doesn't like don't have a face for politics. 1.00
00:47:03.000 He says that wives of the candidates he doesn't like are ugly. 1.00
00:47:07.000 He's vile toward women. 1.00
00:47:08.000 He said women should be treated like crap, and he didn't use the word crap back in the 1980s. 1.00
00:47:12.000 He's somebody who has been credibly accused of rape in court documents. 0.99
00:47:16.000 Like, there's a thousand things you could say here that are interesting and thought-provoking and headline-making, which is really what this is about.
00:47:23.000 There's a headline today that Hillary thinks that she's not going to be able to generate headlines. 1.00
00:47:26.000 She knows Trump's going to dominate the media coverage. 0.57
00:47:28.000 She just hopes Trump will lose the news cycle.
00:47:31.000 If that's her strategy, she's toast.
00:47:33.000 She's toast. 1.00
00:47:34.000 And the only way she can think to make headlines is with absolute, utter stupidity. 1.00
00:47:38.000 So Ellen asks her about Beyonce's new album, Lemonade. 1.00
00:47:42.000 And, uh... Here's my... Well, again, I think we could do the one term, second term.
00:47:49.000 I mean, alright.
00:47:50.000 Because they both have a lot to contribute.
00:47:56.000 Yeah, I really believe in making lemonade out of lemons.
00:48:03.000 That's great.
00:48:05.000 You're going to stick with Beyonce.
00:48:06.000 So have you seen, this is from Taylor Smith, have you seen Lemonade and do you like it?
00:48:10.000 I have seen parts of it and I do like it.
00:48:13.000 Yeah, it's great.
00:48:14.000 It is fantastic.
00:48:15.000 Okay, so they agree that Lemonade is just fantastic.
00:48:18.000 The idea that Hillary Clinton has ever seen Lemonade... Hillary Clinton has a bunch of 1960s guitar soft rock on her iPod.
00:48:28.000 She's sitting there, and she's listening to Beyonce, and she's doing the single ladies dance, Hillary Clinton.
00:48:33.000 First of all, images no one needs in their head.
00:48:36.000 But second of all, this is how Hillary makes headlines, because she's so hip. 1.00
00:48:39.000 Hillary is so hip, she threw her hip out. 1.00
00:48:41.000 Okay, the idea that Hillary needs a hip replacement. 1.00
00:48:45.000 She's just terrible at this in every way. 0.80
00:48:47.000 Okay, time for a thing I like, and then a quick thing that I hate because we're way past time.
00:48:52.000 Okay, the thing that I like, we've been doing children's movies or movies that are appropriate for kids this week.
00:48:57.000 The brand new live-action version of Cinderella is really just delightful.
00:49:00.000 It's really glorious.
00:49:02.000 It came out last year.
00:49:03.000 Kenneth Branagh directed it, and it's beautifully done, and this is what the trailer looked like.
00:49:13.000 That will see you through all the trials that life can offer.
00:49:16.000 Have courage and be kind.
00:49:26.000 She'll merely be your stepmother. 0.97
00:49:28.000 And you'll have two lovely sisters to keep you company. 0.96
00:49:30.000 So I'll know, as far away as I may be, that you'll be safe.
00:49:33.000 Wouldn't you prefer to eat when all the work is done, Ella?
00:49:36.000 Yes, stepmother.
00:49:37.000 Oh, you needn't call me that.
00:49:38.000 Madam will do. 0.99
00:49:40.000 Cinderwench. 1.00
00:49:41.000 Dirty Ella. 0.57
00:49:42.000 Cinderella!
00:49:49.000 Are you alright?
00:49:50.000 Miss, what do they call you?
00:49:52.000 Never mind what they call me.
00:49:54.000 I'm sorry.
00:49:54.000 It's not your doing.
00:49:56.000 Nor yours either, I'll bet.
00:49:57.000 I hope to see you again, Miss.
00:49:59.000 And I you.
00:50:03.000 You have more kindness in your little finger than most people possess in their whole body.
00:50:09.000 It's great.
00:50:10.000 It's really a delightful film.
00:50:11.000 It's really cool because they did some of these things shot-for-shot for the animated film, so there's some shots in here where you can actually compare the two side-by-side and it's really, really neat.
00:50:19.000 The acting is really top-notch.
00:50:22.000 It's good to know that after they murdered Rob in Game of Thrones that he comes back as the prince in this.
00:50:28.000 He's still alive, he just has a different...
00:50:30.000 He just has a different life, so he's still around without the wolf head attached to his neck.
00:50:34.000 So that's exciting.
00:50:35.000 But the film itself really is delightful, and they added a whole kind of subplot on the prince's side about the prince and his father, who's played by Derek Jacoby, that's really moving.
00:50:45.000 It's a moving film.
00:50:46.000 It's a really, really good film.
00:50:47.000 Okay, so you can check that out, and it is totally child-appropriate.
00:50:51.000 It's great.
00:50:51.000 Okay, quick thing that I hate.
00:50:54.000 So, Alan Dershowitz, I don't hate what Dershowitz says here.
00:50:56.000 I think what Dershowitz says is exactly right.
00:50:58.000 He was talking about what happened in Baltimore yesterday, and we played yesterday DeRay McKesson on Megyn Kelly talking about how the trial in Baltimore that ended with the acquittal of the officer, Officer Nero, how that was terrible.
00:51:10.000 DeRay McKesson said it was awful, awful, awful.
00:51:12.000 Here is Alan Dershowitz, who is a lefty, talking about the tendency of the left to try and use the criminal justice system to solve racial problems.
00:51:21.000 These are officers who, you know, may have made a mistake.
00:51:24.000 But they are not guilty of criminal conduct.
00:51:26.000 What she tried to do is stop the mob. 1.00
00:51:29.000 I understand that.
00:51:31.000 But you don't use the criminal justice system to solve racial problems.
00:51:35.000 And she's a symptom of a larger problem.
00:51:37.000 Black Lives Matter is endangering the fairness of our legal system. 1.00
00:51:42.000 Because they're rooting for outcomes based on race.
00:51:46.000 It started a long time ago.
00:51:47.000 It started with the O.J.
00:51:48.000 Simpson case.
00:51:49.000 You know what they could do about this.
00:52:03.000 Okay, and he's right, of course.
00:52:09.000 He was part of the problem, right?
00:52:10.000 I mean, he was the guy who was helping play the race card in the OJ case.
00:52:13.000 But, he's totally right.
00:52:15.000 And the problem is that the left doesn't care about that, because in the end, the left wants its 1960s flashback.
00:52:20.000 They want it desperately, and if they don't get it, they're going to force it with hiring people for chaos and generating violence.
00:52:25.000 And all that's going to generate is on the other side a tendency to move toward the strongest guy in the room, and that is Donald Trump.
00:52:31.000 So that's what the left is doing, and that's why we're on the brink of something that's pretty negative anyway.
00:52:37.000 You slice it.
00:52:38.000 Final note, again, be the person who stands up for principle, not the person who responds by finding the strongest guy in the room.
00:52:46.000 You be the strongest person in the room.
00:52:47.000 It's up to you.
00:52:48.000 It's not up to some leader.
00:52:49.000 It's not up to some big man.
00:52:51.000 It's up to you.
00:52:51.000 It's up to you to stand up.
00:52:53.000 It's up to you to say no.
00:52:54.000 It's up to you to inform people that the principles for which they're standing are wrong, and why they're wrong, and why they need to make their own lives better, and by leaving you alone, they're going to make everyone's life better.
00:53:03.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
00:53:04.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:53:05.000 We'll see you tomorrow with the mailbag.
