The Ben Shapiro Show - Ep. 148 - Obama Blackmails Cops, Then Stands On Their Graves

00:00:00.000 On Monday, the day before flying to Texas to demagogue at the funerals of Dallas cops killed by an anti-white racist, President Obama met with law enforcement leaders across the country.

00:00:10.000 At that meeting, Obama threatened law enforcement with his usual mafioso tactic.

00:00:14.000 You know, nice police department you got there.

00:00:16.000 Shame if something happened to it.

00:00:17.000 Good thing I'm around to protect you.

00:00:19.000 According to the Washington Post, Obama said the attack on cops is a hate crime, which is different than what he was saying last Sunday.

00:00:24.000 And then he said, quote, I'm your best hope.

00:00:27.000 Obama's a racial blackmailer. 1.00

00:00:29.000 He's an arsonist. 0.99

00:00:29.000 He ignites the flames, and then he tells the cops only he can put out those flames if they just trust him and give him power. 0.99

00:00:36.000 This routine is actually nothing new from Obama.

00:00:38.000 Back in 2009, when he met with top financial CEOs and essentially ordered them to cut their own salaries, he said, quote, Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen.

00:00:46.000 The public isn't buying that.

00:00:47.000 And then he continued, My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.

00:00:52.000 These tactics are despicable, and they should be condemned by anybody of decent heart and mind.

00:00:56.000 President Obama called police officers around the country racist on Thursday morning, hours before cops were shot by an anti-white racist in Dallas.

00:01:04.000 Then he claimed he had no idea why the shootings had happened in the first place, and now he says they were hate crimes, but that only he can heal the country and advocate for the cops.

00:01:13.000 This is scurrilous nastiness of the highest order, and his grandstanding isn't going to end there.

00:01:17.000 Obama, right now, as we're speaking, he's going to stand over the caskets of the officers and rip into cops.

00:01:22.000 Here's a statement he put out this morning via the White House, quote,

00:01:40.000 There's no contradiction there.

00:01:41.000 And if we are going to come together to solve those problems, we have to understand that, so we'll have to talk to each other, we'll have to listen to each other, and we'll have to see each other as equal parts of the American family.

00:01:51.000 So, in other words, the cops are still racist, just these dead cops aren't racist, and the only reason the dead cops aren't racist is because they're dead.

00:01:58.000 If they'd lived, and we'd waited a week, and they continued to arrest a quote-unquote disproportionate number of black people, in other words, arresting people responsible for crime regardless of race, they'd still be part of the problem. 0.99

00:02:09.000 Obama isn't interested in fixing anything.

00:02:11.000 He's interested in setting fires.

00:02:13.000 And the whole nation is burning.

00:02:14.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:02:15.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show. 0.97

00:02:23.000 Okay, so because we're live, we can't watch President Obama's speech, which is sure to be a crap fest over at the funeral for these Dallas cops. 0.91

00:02:30.000 As I said yesterday, I think cops have every right to turn their backs on the President when he does this. 0.91

00:02:34.000 Again, hours before these cops were shot, he was saying there's systemic racism in the justice system.

00:02:38.000 You can't say things like, I stand for cops.

00:02:41.000 Also, the system that they staff.

00:02:44.000 The system that they administer is systemically racist.

00:02:46.000 You can't do that.

00:02:47.000 You can't do that.

00:02:48.000 I mean, that's like lamenting that any institution is deeply racist and then saying, yeah, but if a few people from that institution died, those people were heroes.

00:02:56.000 It doesn't work that way.

00:02:57.000 And President Obama wants to play both sides of the table.

00:03:01.000 But first, a piece of quick breaking news.

00:03:03.000 Bernie Sanders has now endorsed Hillary Clinton.

00:03:06.000 So we can watch a little bit of Bernie Sanders endorsing Hillary Clinton.

00:03:08.000 This is clip 23.

00:03:10.000 I have known Hillary Clinton for 25 years.

00:03:16.000 We were a bit younger then.

00:03:20.000 I remember her as a great first lady who broke precedent in terms of the role that a first lady was supposed to play.

00:03:35.000 And as she helped lead the fight to universal health care.

00:03:43.000 I served with her in the U.S. 0.99

00:03:45.000 Senate and know her as a fierce advocate for the rights of our children. 0.94

00:03:51.000 Okay, we can stop it.

00:03:53.000 Bernie's sold out.

00:03:54.000 Bernie's sold out.

00:03:55.000 And I know her!

00:03:56.000 Bernie's done, right?

00:03:57.000 I mean, he's sold out.

00:03:58.000 So it turns out the all-principled socialist, the man who could not be bought, he was bought for basically a song by Hillary Clinton.

00:04:06.000 Basically, the way this went was Hillary went to him and she said, what do I need to do to get you to endorse me?

00:04:10.000 He said, I would like a pudding cup!

00:04:14.000 I love pudding, but I don't know why there are so many types of pudding.

00:04:19.000 Why?

00:04:19.000 There don't need to be that many flavors of pudding.

00:04:22.000 The world would be just fine if there were one flavor of pudding, and the rich must pay for the pudding.

00:04:27.000 Why am I here?

00:04:28.000 I don't know where I am.

00:04:29.000 Take me back to a rubble room from whence I came.

00:04:33.000 Also, I may have pooped.

00:04:36.000 So he's standing there endorsing the lady and I love all the Bernie Sanders supporters today saying, well he fought the good fight, he really fought the good fight and now he's just getting in line and you know, we're unifying behind Hillary.

00:04:48.000 Okay.

00:04:49.000 He was, like, two weeks ago saying that Hillary Clinton was deeply corrupt because she was giving speeches for Goldman Sachs.

00:04:53.000 I don't know if you remember that.

00:04:55.000 I know maybe he has short-term memory loss, but, you know, you shouldn't.

00:04:58.000 Okay, he was ripping into her for being a corrupt heretic five seconds ago, and now she's the greatest thing I have ever seen! 1.00

00:05:05.000 Or at least that I can remember, and I can only remember as far back as what I ate for breakfast this morning, and it was Metamucil.

00:05:12.000 So Bernie Sanders endorsing Hillary Clinton, that's big news.

00:05:16.000 Demonstrating once again that nobody in politics has any principles, including the so-called principled socialists.

00:05:22.000 I've ripped into Republicans for shifting the nature of the Republican Party to fit Donald Trump. 1.00

00:05:26.000 I will rip into Bernie Sanders and his idiot supporters for now moving over to the most corrupt woman in politics, Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:05:32.000 I love how he stood there and he said that she's going to fight for financial redistribution. 1.00

00:05:37.000 She's going to fight for a fairer world that doesn't benefit the top 1%. 1.00

00:05:40.000 Like she's standing right there, Bernie, you understand?

00:05:42.000 She's like right next to you when you say this.

00:05:44.000 And that jacket she's wearing, it's probably a thousand dollar jacket, which she got wildly overcharged if that's how much that jacket cost. 0.87

00:05:51.000 She could have just stolen it off the dead body of Violet Beauregard from from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

00:05:56.000 I do not know

00:05:57.000 I love those things.

00:05:58.000 I don't know what they do.

00:05:59.000 I only hope they have fruit cups.

00:06:18.000 There's too much Bernie Sanders.

00:06:19.000 It's our tribute to Bernie Sanders today because now he's faded off into the mists of time.

00:06:24.000 He's gone.

00:06:25.000 He's like Brigadoon.

00:06:26.000 He comes once every hundred years, except bringing horror in his wake.

00:06:29.000 Okay, so back to the actual top story of the day.

00:06:32.000 So President Obama's descending on Dallas.

00:06:33.000 I want to pay tribute here to the actual hero of the Dallas story.

00:06:37.000 That is this Dallas police chief.

00:06:38.000 This guy is a stud.

00:06:40.000 He's great.

00:06:41.000 This Dallas police chief

00:06:42.000 That's too much to ask.

00:06:43.000 Policing was never meant to solve all those problems.

00:07:11.000 And I just ask for other parts of our democracy, along with the free press, to help us serve your communities.

00:07:21.000 Don't be a part of the problem.

00:07:23.000 We're hiring.

00:07:25.000 We're hiring.

00:07:28.000 Get off that protest line and put an application in.

00:07:32.000 And we'll put you in your neighborhood and we will help you resolve some of the problems you're protesting about.

00:07:39.000 And this is exactly right.

00:07:40.000 If you don't like how the cops are acting, join the cops and do better.

00:07:44.000 Do better.

00:07:44.000 But the left doesn't want to do that.

00:07:46.000 The left is not interested in doing that.

00:07:47.000 In fact, what the left really is interested in doing is breaking down all bonds of social fabric.

00:07:52.000 What the left is really interested in doing is ending policing as it currently stands.

00:07:57.000 Now here's the reality.

00:07:58.000 If you actually want to solve the problem in the black community, you need more police, not less. 1.00

00:08:02.000 You don't need fewer police officers.

00:08:03.000 You need more police officers.

00:08:05.000 And the reason you need more police officers is because if you want your community to thrive, if you want economic growth, if you want educational opportunity, you need people to live there who aren't afraid of being burglarized every two seconds.

00:08:16.000 Who are not afraid to send their kids out on the street to play ball without a drug dealer approaching them.

00:08:20.000 You actually need rule of law.

00:08:22.000 You need rule of law.

00:08:23.000 And that means that you need people there enforcing the rule of law, making the rule of law happen.

00:08:27.000 There's that study we mentioned yesterday from the New York Times.

00:08:29.000 I've now had the chance to read through the study from Harvard, and basically what it found is that cops are less likely to shoot white people than black people by a factor of about 20%.

00:08:37.000 They're more likely to use increased levels of force, including handcuffing and pushing people against walls, on black people. 0.92

00:08:45.000 And the reason for that, as Larry Elder said, a black talk show host, and he's right about this, and you can talk to cops about this, when you're in a high-crime area that's heavily minority, 0.92

00:08:53.000 We're good to go.

00:09:09.000 I'm grabbing you.

00:09:10.000 I'm the boss.

00:09:11.000 I'm the alpha in this situation.

00:09:13.000 And so that happens a lot.

00:09:14.000 People refuse to acknowledge the realities the cops face on the street.

00:09:17.000 And so what the real agenda of the left is, is to break down law and order.

00:09:21.000 And the idea is that you're not subject to the law if you're of a particular race.

00:09:24.000 I mean, this is really the breakdown of America.

00:09:26.000 So the Marxist left

00:09:28.000 Just to do a quick bit of history here, the Marxist left always believed that there would be class warfare, and that class warfare would end up tearing down the existing capitalist system.

00:09:37.000 This explains why the left hates the police, so this is where I'm going with this.

00:09:40.000 The reason the left hates the police is that originally they thought, okay, well there are these policing structures and they enforce the current law on the books, and the current law on the books is capitalist law, so we don't like the police.

00:09:50.000 But it turns out there hasn't been a class revolution.

00:09:52.000 It turns out that poor people are not interested in doing the Bernie Sanders thing and rushing Bill Gates' house and tearing his house apart.

00:09:59.000 But what the left hit on was, okay, we don't have to use class groups.

00:10:03.000 We can use racial groups for this instead.

00:10:05.000 We can put race against race.

00:10:06.000 We can use natural tribalism to tear down the system.

00:10:09.000 So we'll put black people against white people, we'll put black people against law enforcement, and we'll suggest the entire system has to be torn down around our ears, Samson-like, 0.99

00:10:17.000 in order to achieve the building of a new system. 0.86

00:10:20.000 And this is what you're about to hear.

00:10:21.000 So we're going to play through a lot of the audio that you've been hearing from a lot of the major media figures on the left, a lot of the Black Lives Matter people.

00:10:28.000 The argument that they're basically making, their new argument, the one that they care about, is that the police ought not to be involved at all in policing minority communities. 0.60

00:10:37.000 That's, in essence, that's what they want.

00:10:39.000 When you ask what does Black Lives Matter want, they don't want 1.00

00:10:42.000 anything except for less cops, because when they say they want less black people in prison, there's a very simple way to do that. 0.97

00:10:48.000 Have less black people commit crimes. 1.00

00:10:49.000 It's the easiest way to have less black people in prison. 1.00

00:10:52.000 And when they say that they want less police brutality, there's an easier way to do that, and that is have less crime in your areas, less confrontations with the cops, fewer people who are going to attack the cops and confront the cops, and make sure that there are enough cops in the neighborhood.

00:11:06.000 Cops have to act more aggressively when they're understaffed.

00:11:10.000 In major cities, there's like one cop for every 200-300 people.

00:11:14.000 That means the only reason that there's any sort of law and order at all is because people have a fear factor of the cops.

00:11:19.000 You staff up the cops, you don't have to use those sorts of measures as much anymore.

00:11:22.000 But they don't want to do any of that.

00:11:24.000 What they really want to do is tear down the cops, tear down the existing system, say the entire system is racist.

00:11:29.000 It's why they don't target individual cops.

00:11:30.000 Notice, the left only target cop situations that are controversial.

00:11:36.000 They only target cop situations that are controversial.

00:11:38.000 It's really interesting.

00:11:39.000 Walter Scott was shot, black guy, was shot in South Carolina.

00:11:42.000 And this is a headline for like a day and a half.

00:11:44.000 It was a headline for like a day and a half.

00:11:45.000 Why?

00:11:45.000 Because people like me, we looked at it and we said, this is bad, right?

00:11:47.000 That's a bad shoot.

00:11:48.000 Put that guy in jail.

00:11:49.000 Put that cop in jail.

00:11:50.000 We all agreed there was evidence.

00:11:52.000 It was a bad shoot.

00:11:53.000 The left doesn't like those cases.

00:11:55.000 The left falsely wants to generate racial controversy so that they can claim that people like you, people like me, we don't care about black people, and that's because we're victims of this, we're part of this systemically racist system, and that entire system has to be torn down in order to build a new reality.

00:12:10.000 That's the agenda.

00:12:11.000 So they set up these false

00:12:12.000 Racial conflagrations, when we all agree racism is bad, we all agree brutality is bad, they set up these false racial situations, these false racial confrontations where there really are two sides of the story at the beginning and then later it usually turns out there's one side and it's not the side they want. 0.51

00:12:27.000 They pick those situations to focus in on because they need the controversy, because the controversy allows them to label the entire system racist.

00:12:35.000 Because if they were to pick the ones that are non-controversial, it proves the system isn't racist, right?

00:12:39.000 Walter Scott proved the system was not racist.

00:12:41.000 We all condemned the shooter in Walter Scott, the police officer in Walter Scott.

00:12:45.000 Instead, they'll pick Michael Brown, because then when we say, no, we need more evidence, they say, ah, you're a racist. 0.98

00:12:50.000 You're a racist. 0.77

00:12:50.000 That's what they're looking for. 0.77

00:12:51.000 Okay, so Mark Lamont Hill is a professor at Morehouse University, historically black college.

00:12:57.000 He's also a CNN contributor.

00:12:59.000 Listen to what Mark Lamont Hill had to say about black people and racism.

00:13:02.000 This is an amazing statement, what you're about to hear.

00:13:04.000 Wow, there's so many things to say there.

00:13:06.000 First of all, and by the way, Black Lives Matter and the movement for Black Lives this morning issued a pledge, which I actually tweeted out today, calling for justice, calling for peace, and calling for a togetherness in a moment where we're attempting to be divided.

00:13:16.000 So I think it's really important.

00:13:19.000 To say that the Black Lives Matter movement is racist is bizarre to me.

00:13:22.000 Not just because black people don't have the institutional power to be racist or to deploy racism, but because the movement is called for justice.

00:13:28.000 It's called for demilitarization.

00:13:30.000 It's called for nonviolence.

00:13:31.000 And because a few people enter that space,

00:13:35.000 And kind of colonize that space and do something other than what the movement is about doesn't mean the movement is wrong.

00:13:39.000 In the same way the Tea Party movement called for fiscal responsibility.

00:13:42.000 But there are racists at the rallies.

00:13:43.000 I've been to some of the Tea Party rallies.

00:13:45.000 There are racists there.

00:13:45.000 But I wouldn't say the Tea Party is a racist movement as such.

00:13:48.000 I would say that there are people who invade it and divert the movement.

00:13:51.000 So I've actually agreed with the basic premise that you can't slur the entire Black Lives Matter movement with violence of some of the members.

00:13:57.000 I've said this on this show.

00:14:00.000 But you'll notice he slides in a line there and it's just every sort of glosses over it. 0.95

00:14:04.000 He slides in a line there where he says blacks are incapable of racism because they don't have power. 0.96

00:14:11.000 This is an insidious, insidious perspective. 0.94

00:14:13.000 The idea is that you can only be labeled a racist if you have power. 0.91

00:14:17.000 Now, number one, obviously black people in America have an enormous amount of power. 0.98

00:14:20.000 The president of the United States is black. 0.98

00:14:22.000 The attorney general of the United States is black, right? 0.99

00:14:25.000 The chief law enforcement officer of the United States and the commander in chief are both black. 0.98

00:14:28.000 So the idea that blacks are completely deprived of power. 0.96

00:14:31.000 In the inner cities, like Baltimore, the majority of the police force is black. 0.99

00:14:35.000 The city council is black. 0.99

00:14:36.000 The mayor is black. 0.99

00:14:37.000 The police chief's black. 0.99

00:14:39.000 The DA is black, right? 0.96

00:14:41.000 So this idea that black people don't have power, number one, is not true. 0.95

00:14:43.000 But number two, the idea that the color of your skin determines, one, the amount of power that you have in American society, and two, that you are incapable of racism.

00:14:54.000 This sets up a moral double standard that is impossible to overcome.

00:14:58.000 I'll explain more about that if you go and you subscribe.

00:15:00.000 Right now at Daily Wire, we're at a 15 minute limit.

00:15:03.000 Go to dailywire.com and you can check out the rest of the show.

00:15:05.000 You can download it at iTunes or SoundCloud as well.

00:15:09.000 And there's plenty more to talk about because we're going to go through all of the leftist perspectives on Dallas and why what they're really arguing for is the wholesale collapse

00:15:17.000 Okay, so before I go any further, I have to mention our friends at Ring.com.

00:15:36.000 I have gotten a free Ring device from the people at Ring.com.

00:15:38.000 This is the coolest device ever.

00:15:40.000 So basically, the way that this works is you stick this near your door, and it shows you the home entrance with a wide-angled HD video, and it has a motion detector, so it immediately lights up as soon as somebody approaches.

00:15:51.000 You can see who's at your front door, and then it shoots the video to your phone, to your computer, so you don't even have to be home to tell who's at your front door and who's messing around around your house, right?

00:16:00.000 For me, that's great, because I tend to be paranoid about home security because of what I do for a living,

00:16:04.000 My wife tends to be paranoid about home security because she's paranoid about home security. 1.00

00:16:08.000 Ring.com is fantastic, and the Ring is really great.

00:16:10.000 It's so good that I actually went and, on my own volition, bought something.

00:16:14.000 Like, I get stuff for free from them because they advertise with us.

00:16:16.000 I actually went and I bought another device because I think they do such a good job.

00:16:19.000 There's a home burglary here in the United States every 13 seconds, and most happen in broad daylight, and there's usually a door knock.

00:16:25.000 Usually somebody knocks on the door to see if somebody's home, and then they break in.

00:16:28.000 That's usually how these things happen.

00:16:30.000 The video doorbell stops burglaries before they happen because you can see and speak to anyone approaching your front door.

00:16:35.000 So they don't have to know that you're not home, right?

00:16:37.000 They approach, your phone rings, you pick up, and you say, hey, yeah, what are you doing at the front door?

00:16:42.000 And then they say, okay, well, the house is occupied.

00:16:44.000 I'm not gonna go in there and rob it.

00:16:45.000 So the kit, they have this thing called the Ring of Security Kit that they're selling now.

00:16:49.000 It's a ring video doorbell for the front door and a ring stick-up cam and the wireless weatherproof HD camera to keep an eye on other parts of your property

00:16:57.000 As well.

00:16:58.000 And so, as I say, it's already helping me, it's already helping my family.

00:17:01.000 I think you should grab one of these, too.

00:17:02.000 If you want the lowest price anywhere, you go to ring.com slash ben.

00:17:06.000 It's ring.com slash ben.

00:17:08.000 And join the hundreds of thousands of people, including me, who now protect our home with Ring.

00:17:11.000 And if you go there, by the way, you get $50 off.

00:17:13.000 So, ring.com slash ben.

00:17:15.000 That's a pretty good deal, because it isn't that expensive to start.

00:17:17.000 Ring.com slash ben.

00:17:18.000 Okay. 0.99

00:17:19.000 So, you've got Marc Lamont Hill saying black people are incapable of racism. 0.99

00:17:23.000 They're just not capable of racism. 0.90

00:17:25.000 What the left is doing here is they are mashing up the two things I talked about, a Marxist view of the universe and a racial view of the universe, right?

00:17:33.000 They're mashing the two up.

00:17:34.000 So Marxism is all about the idea that there's the powerful in society and the powerless, and the powerless are incapable of sin.

00:17:41.000 It's only the powerful who are capable of sin because they're the ones who are in power, right?

00:17:45.000 And so we have to overthrow them in order to come to this beautiful new universe where everyone shares the power equally.

00:17:51.000 And they're mashing that up with the race issue. 0.89

00:17:53.000 So they're saying the powerless are the black people, the black people therefore are incapable of sin, they're incapable of racism, and so we can never accuse them of being racist. 0.94

00:18:01.000 We can never hold them to an equal standard. 0.95

00:18:02.000 Now this is really nefarious. 0.98

00:18:04.000 The fact is that polls show that a plurality of black people think blacks are the most racist group in America. 0.96

00:18:08.000 A plurality of black people. 0.96

00:18:10.000 More black people think that blacks are a majority racist group than think that white people are a majority racist group in the United States.

00:18:16.000 It's a Rasmussen poll from 2013. 0.81

00:18:19.000 So the idea that black people can't be racist, look, it's obviously untrue. 0.99

00:18:22.000 We just had a black racist murder five cops in Dallas and wound another six, right? 0.99

00:18:28.000 So the idea that there are no black racist people is insane, but this is a way of avoiding the argument entirely. 0.98

00:18:34.000 Now we don't have to argue on similar terms. 0.88

00:18:37.000 This is identity politics at its finest.

00:18:39.000 Because I hold the principle racism is bad.

00:18:41.000 You hold the principle racism is bad.

00:18:43.000 But you will not condemn it, depending on who does it.

00:18:47.000 I'll say that it's racist when Donald Trump, who's supposedly on my side of the aisle, he's really not, but he supposedly is, when he says Mexican judges are incapable of judging cases, I'll say that's racist. 0.94

00:18:58.000 But you're saying, Marc Lamont Hill, that when somebody's on your side, there's a black guy on your side, he's incapable of racism because black people don't hold power. 0.98

00:19:06.000 That's such a nasty point of view. 0.96

00:19:08.000 Sin affects all of us equally.

00:19:09.000 We're all equally capable of sin, the poor and the rich.

00:19:12.000 Everyone is equally capable of sin.

00:19:14.000 The minute you say people are not capable of sin because of the amount of power that they wield in a society or more or even worse because of the color of their skin that we can't hold people accountable for their individual sins, this is how you end up with evil.

00:19:27.000 Really thriving.

00:19:29.000 Really thriving in a major way.

00:19:30.000 Because now you're standing up for the group over the individual.

00:19:33.000 You're now standing up for color of skin over individual responsibility.

00:19:37.000 That's nasty stuff.

00:19:38.000 I mean, that's... Honestly, like, you take that to its logical extreme, and that's Aryan people are incapable of committing sins. 1.00

00:19:44.000 It's the underclass that's committing all the sins. 1.00

00:19:46.000 And so if Aryan people kill people in the underclass, they kill the subhumans. 1.00

00:19:50.000 Then that's okay, because Aryans are Aryans, and they don't hold the real power. 0.99

00:19:54.000 The Jews hold the real power, right? 1.00

00:19:55.000 I mean, you get into really nasty territory. 0.93

00:19:57.000 The minute you say that one particular group is not capable of a sin because of who they are, not because of what they do, really, really ugly stuff.

00:20:05.000 But all of this, as I say, is cover for another agenda.

00:20:07.000 So Malina Abdullah,

00:20:09.000 Who is apparently one of my favorite people.

00:20:10.000 She said I'm a member of the KKK, which is weird to me, because last I checked, I ain't big on the Jews.

00:20:15.000 But Melina Abdullah, professor at Cal State LA, she was one of the people who was ginning up all of the riots when I was there, and then she and her university were talking about how I never should have been allowed to come.

00:20:26.000 Melina Abdullah was on the TVs, and she was talking about the police, and listen to how she talks about the cops.

00:20:33.000 Last week, four black men were killed at the hands of the police.

00:20:37.000 We know about Alton Sterling and Philando Castile because we have really good video, but there was also a murder in New York, there was another murder in Houston, all in the span of one week.

00:20:48.000 So the black community is and has been under the assault, under kind of the occupation of police who are operating as an occupying force rather than a force that

00:21:02.000 Okay, so it's an occupying force now.

00:21:07.000 It's an occupying force, as opposed to they're actually policing crime.

00:21:11.000 Now, if you talk to law-abiding members of the black community, they'll tell you, we need more cops here.

00:21:15.000 We need more cops here. 0.86

00:21:16.000 But it's an occupying force.

00:21:18.000 And, you know, that sort of language is dangerous, because once you start saying that somebody's an occupying force,

00:21:23.000 This is the same sort of language Palestinians use about Jews.

00:21:25.000 They're occupiers.

00:21:26.000 The only way to expel the occupiers, if it comes to violence, then it comes to violence.

00:21:30.000 It's really dicey language that she's using here. 0.64

00:21:34.000 What's amazing, you'll notice, she says that four black men were killed by the cops last week.

00:21:37.000 You only heard two.

00:21:39.000 The two that are national.

00:21:41.000 The Philando Castile shooting in Minnesota and the Alton Sterling shooting in Louisiana.

00:21:44.000 By the way, they're now claiming in the Alton Sterling shooting that the butt of his gun was visible outside his pocket and he was reaching for it.

00:21:50.000 So that may have been a good shoot.

00:21:51.000 Philando Castile, we still don't know the circumstances, we just saw the aftermath.

00:21:54.000 But she says four were killed, you haven't heard of the other two.

00:21:56.000 Why haven't you heard of the other two?

00:21:58.000 Because my understanding is, in the other two, these people, in one case, a guy broke into the house of a cop and the cop shot him.

00:22:06.000 And in the other case, the guy pulled the gun on a cop and the cop shot him.

00:22:09.000 But she's lumping this all together.

00:22:10.000 So anytime a black person gets killed by the cops, again, this is the same ideology as Mark Lamont Hill. 0.98

00:22:15.000 Black people can't be sinning because they're powerless. 0.99

00:22:19.000 It can't be that they're confronting cops and doing bad things. 0.99

00:22:21.000 They can't be committing crimes because they're powerless.

00:22:24.000 Once you've exempted people from the normal rules of human society and behavior, you shouldn't be surprised when people don't abide by the rules of normal human society and behavior.

00:22:33.000 You're holding one side to account, but you're telling the other side, and I'm talking about cops and criminals here, you're telling the cops that they have to be held to a standard that doesn't exist anywhere on the planet, right?

00:22:44.000 A standard that, not even of evidence, a standard of feelings.

00:22:47.000 And you're telling the other side,

00:22:49.000 We're good to go.

00:23:08.000 What I've been hearing here, this is the reason why our young people are hopeless in America.

00:23:12.000 Our young people are hopeless because you have all these adults here who are not listening to our young people.

00:23:16.000 They talk about black-on-black crime in Chicago.

00:23:18.000 I'm from Chicago.

00:23:19.000 My organizing and activism has been on intra-community violence.

00:23:24.000 We understand what she was talking about.

00:23:28.000 We've got the point.

00:23:28.000 What I'm trying to say is here at the solution, we need to abolish the police.

00:23:32.000 Period.

00:23:33.000 Abolish the police?

00:23:34.000 Demilitarize the police, disarm the police, and we need to come up with community solutions for transformative justice.

00:23:40.000 What we are seeing with all these cases, what we are seeing, can we all agree that a loss of a life is tragic?

00:23:48.000 Can we all agree on that?

00:23:50.000 Can we all agree?

00:23:51.000 I'm asking.

00:23:52.000 I have a point here.

00:23:53.000 Just keep going.

00:23:54.000 I've been peaceful since I've been here, but I need to speak because I came here from Chicago to speak, right?

00:23:59.000 And so we all can agree that the loss of a life is tragic.

00:24:02.000 We all can agree that excessive force and extrajudicial killings by law enforcement needs to be stopped.

00:24:10.000 People, black, white.

00:24:11.000 Who's going to protect the community if we abolish the police?

00:24:13.000 We need to come up with community solutions.

00:24:15.000 The police force in this country began as slave patrol.

00:24:19.000 Okay, the police force in this country began as slave patrol.

00:24:23.000 No, the police force in this country existed in places where there were no slaves.

00:24:27.000 It existed in the North.

00:24:29.000 There were bad police forces, obviously.

00:24:31.000 There were, of course, bad police forces.

00:24:34.000 One of the things that the Southerners did, and Democrats, Southern Democrats did, is they basically expelled federal officers from Southern land after the Civil War, even though there was an attempt, there were a bunch of black Congress people, by the way, who were elected to Congress right in the aftermath of the Civil War, and then all those reverses were, there were a bunch of racial reverses thanks to the Democrats that she presumably votes for.

00:24:55.000 But in any case, you know, she's saying abolish the police. 0.93

00:24:58.000 There is no policy geared toward killing black people faster than abolishing the police. 0.98

00:25:03.000 And this is the thing about the left and the right. 0.98

00:25:06.000 I'm coming to the point in my life where I'm starting to feel like, let's just give everybody what they wish for.

00:25:12.000 Let's just give everybody what they wish for.

00:25:14.000 The thing is that I don't want to see people killed, so I don't want to give her what she wishes for.

00:25:18.000 But let's do a thought experiment for a second.

00:25:20.000 What I wish for is a law enforcement community that is empowered to stop crime and the laws that are on the books are only about people hurting each other.

00:25:29.000 That's my basic view of how law enforcement and community should work.

00:25:35.000 The view of the left is abolish the police.

00:25:38.000 Okay, so let's say we do that.

00:25:39.000 Do you think crime is going to go up or is it going to go down?

00:25:42.000 And by the way, the reason you have gang warfare is because there is a form of law, but it's the law of the street.

00:25:47.000 Right?

00:25:48.000 If somebody kills somebody from your gang, somebody from your gang goes and kills somebody from their gang.

00:25:51.000 There's a law of the street that applies.

00:25:52.000 There are places in the world where there's no effective police force.

00:25:55.000 Look at places in Mexico.

00:25:56.000 There are places in Mexico where there's no effective police force.

00:25:59.000 And the death rate is extraordinarily high, higher than it is in places in Afghanistan.

00:26:03.000 What she says when she says abolish the police, that is the logical extension.

00:26:07.000 Abolish civil society so we can create a new society, a community society.

00:26:12.000 And what's going to happen when they create this community society?

00:26:15.000 Somebody's going to have to be in charge.

00:26:17.000 And there's going to be a new police force, but it's going to be run by her. 0.62

00:26:20.000 That's what we're talking about, because somehow somebody's going to have to ensure that there's some semblance of law and order.

00:26:25.000 This kind of bizarre view that we're all going to get together in a room and decide to be nice to each other, that's not how life works.

00:26:32.000 But this is what they want.

00:26:32.000 They want to tear down society.

00:26:33.000 So the ideal is get rid of the police, get rid of the law, push all those people out, blame the cops, say that black people aren't subject to the same rules of morality as other people, as Mark Lamont Hill apparently says.

00:26:43.000 And then, we'll create a new society. 0.62

00:26:45.000 That new society will be a communal society.

00:26:48.000 It'll be a Bernie Sanders communal society, where we all decide on the police force.

00:26:52.000 Except, in the end, communal societies always end up devolving into Stalin at the top, representing the quote-unquote community and killing everybody who dissents.

00:27:01.000 That's how these things always end up, because somebody's always in control.

00:27:04.000 And so, if the people in control aren't subject to law, if it's just subject to the whims of the quote-unquote community, you've got a problem on your hands.

00:27:12.000 So, you know, this sort of stuff is becoming common, unfortunately, this sort of rhetoric.

00:27:18.000 And their refusal to even recognize basic reality.

00:27:20.000 So, on CNN, there was a panel, and one of the members of the panel was asked about whether black people are prone to criminality.

00:27:26.000 Black people are not prone to criminality because of quote-unquote race.

00:27:30.000 Okay? 0.97

00:27:31.000 It's not black people any more than white people or Hispanic people. 0.97

00:27:33.000 The color of your skin doesn't determine your criminality. 0.99

00:27:36.000 It is statistically true that blacks in America commit a disproportionate share of crime. 1.00

00:27:41.000 It doesn't mean the individual black person is more prone to criminality than the individual white person, of course. 0.98

00:27:46.000 But what it does mean is that statistically speaking, statistically speaking, blacks as a share of the population commit multiple times more crime than whites do, than Hispanics do, certainly than Asians do. 0.92

00:27:59.000 And so that was basically what was said on CNN, but again, you're not allowed to say true things on mainstream television.

00:28:05.000 There is considerable evidence of racism in Ferguson, so it isn't true that there was no evidence of racism.

00:28:10.000 There were racist emails, racist phone calls, racist practices.

00:28:12.000 He's saying in this specific incident.

00:28:14.000 There were three emails, I believe, that were racist, correct?

00:28:20.000 Harry, there's only like a hundred percent.

00:28:22.000 It doesn't matter.

00:28:23.000 That means it's systemic.

00:28:26.000 Harry's still on national TV and just said that black people are prone to coming out.

00:28:29.000 I wouldn't be able to respond to that.

00:28:30.000 Well, they are. 0.98

00:28:31.000 But you think black people are prone to criminality? 0.95

00:28:33.000 The statistics here show... You don't mean to say that. 0.76

00:28:35.000 I'm going to give you a chance to correct me.

00:28:37.000 You don't mean that black people are prone to criminality.

00:28:39.000 What does this say? 0.69

00:28:40.000 I don't know what that says, but I know... The chief can back me up because he's complaining.

00:28:44.000 He's not going to stay on national TV and say black people are prone to criminality either. 0.99

00:28:47.000 I am telling you 75% of all shootings are black. 0.99

00:28:50.000 I'm hoping you just don't know... 75% of shootings... What you're doing is you're interpreting something else I'm saying into your narrative. 0.95

00:28:56.000 That's what you do.

00:28:57.000 I'm just trying to talk.

00:28:58.000 Mark, hold on one second.

00:28:59.000 First of all, I'm not going to say we're prone to blacks, prone to crime, because I don't believe it, and it's not true.

00:29:04.000 That's the first.

00:29:05.000 The second thing, I have a slight difference of opinion. 0.99

00:29:07.000 Just say that black people are prone to crime. 1.00

00:29:09.000 That's not what I said. 1.00

00:29:10.000 I said 75% of the shootings that occur in New York City are done by blacks. 0.99

00:29:16.000 And you keep on talking about this disproportionate amount of whites and blacks in jail. 0.99

00:29:21.000 And this is why.

00:29:22.000 No, it's not.

00:29:23.000 It is, yeah, by the definition.

00:29:25.000 How about we don't yell?

00:29:26.000 Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to say.

00:29:29.000 These, this is a conversation that is not always easy to have.

00:29:33.000 You're going to have clashes of perspective.

00:29:35.000 But we all know this, alright?

00:29:37.000 If you do not have this conversation the right way, you do not move forward. 0.98

00:29:41.000 You can discuss the difference- Shut up, Chris Cuomo, no one cares about you. 0.99

00:29:44.000 You're obnoxious. 1.00

00:29:45.000 You're a ridiculous Dr. Osbertino. 1.00

00:29:47.000 Okay, so, what the guy says, first of all, as I said, black people are not prone to criminality, but that's Marc Lamont Hill, 0.99

00:29:55.000 Throwing that line on this guy, right? 0.97

00:29:57.000 You're not saying black people are prone to criminality when you say, statistically speaking, blacks commit a disproportionate share of crimes. 0.99

00:30:03.000 What you're saying is that blacks commit a disproportionate share of crimes. 1.00

00:30:06.000 And there can be multiple factors for that. 0.90

00:30:09.000 I don't think one of those factors is skin color, because I don't think skin color magically makes people better or worse, as Marc Lamont Hill does. 0.81

00:30:14.000 Marc Lamont Hill thinks black skin color makes you a better person, because you can't be capable of racism.

00:30:19.000 And it continues along.

00:30:20.000 Michael Eric Dyson is a professor at Georgetown.

00:30:22.000 It's amazing. 1.00

00:30:23.000 You have to be a professor at a major university to be as stupid as some of these people. 1.00

00:30:26.000 Michael Eric Dyson is on CNN, and he says that Obama's going to visit Dallas to speak. 1.00

00:30:31.000 He's doing it probably right now, speaking about the cops.

00:30:34.000 And here's what he says about Barack Obama visiting.

00:30:38.000 Well, I would have preferred him go to Louisiana, then on to Minnesota, then end in Dallas.

00:30:44.000 Because he could truly bring, as Professor Brinkley talked about it, healing to the nation.

00:30:49.000 He's got to acknowledge the lethal and ferocious assault upon that police department there in Dallas.

00:30:55.000 And he's got to acknowledge the lethal and ferocious assault upon black men's and women's lives in America.

00:30:59.000 And he's got to acknowledge both at the same time.

00:31:02.000 Can we stop right there?

00:31:03.000 Let's stop right there.

00:31:04.000 Notice the moral equivalence that Michael Eric Dyson is drawing there. 0.96

00:31:07.000 The lethal and ferocious assault on the police force is the same as the lethal and ferocious assault on black people. 0.99

00:31:13.000 In Dallas, a black man who hated white cops went with purpose, malice aforethought, and shot and murdered parents of children, women, men, cops. 1.00

00:31:26.000 Shot them. 1.00

00:31:27.000 Killed them. 1.00

00:31:28.000 Knowing what he was doing, they didn't do anything. 0.98

00:31:31.000 He is now equating the shootings of black people in the United States by the cops with that sort of purposeful malice aforethought. 0.97

00:31:39.000 Okay, that's insane. 0.99

00:31:41.000 That's insane. 1.00

00:31:42.000 This is a country of 40 million black people. 0.99

00:31:44.000 4-0 million black people.

00:31:46.000 You know how many quote-unquote unarmed black people were shot in the United States last year?

00:31:49.000 36.

00:31:52.000 36.

00:31:52.000 And a huge number of those were people who attacked cops and tried to take guns off the cops.

00:31:57.000 Or resisted arrest.

00:32:00.000 Or did something dangerous.

00:32:01.000 The number of unarmed black people who were wrongfully shot in the United States is in single digits.

00:32:07.000 And he's equating that to this guy going out and shooting cops purposefully?

00:32:16.000 You're ascribing that sort of KKK racism to the cops?

00:32:20.000 And then you expect the cops to police communities and do their jobs?

00:32:23.000 You expect this country to hold together when you're accusing its law enforcement community of this nonsense?

00:32:28.000 This sort of stuff is really despicable. 0.85

00:32:30.000 Really despicable.

00:32:32.000 But again, when you're brought up in the notion that American society is inherently racist, when you believe Barack Obama's sick routine, that racism is part of our DNA, not that racism is part of our history and we fought hard to overcome it, but that it's part of our DNA, it's unalterable, we can't change it in any real way, and that it's systemic, that it's deep-rooted and deep-seated and it's not going away.

00:32:56.000 We've gotten better, but we always have 10% more to go.

00:32:59.000 When you believe that,

00:33:01.000 You end up in this perverse situation where the only real solution, if you believe that, the only real solution is the solution to disband the cops, right?

00:33:06.000 If the police are the KKK, the only solution is to disband the police.

00:33:10.000 You end up back where the crazy lady said we should end up, right?

00:33:13.000 No cops anywhere. 0.99

00:33:14.000 And that, again, does not help black people.

00:33:17.000 And all other solutions have been ruled off the table by the left.

00:33:19.000 So, Whoopi Goldberg

00:33:22.000 With her incredible level of personal genius.

00:33:25.000 Whoopi Goldberg was talking yesterday about raising children.

00:33:29.000 So one of the things people say is one of the reasons for a disproportionate crime rate in the black community is because there are single mothers in the black community who are incapable of raising young boys, because there's no fathers in the black community, because there's a culture that disdains education in parts of the black community, because there's a culture

00:33:48.000 of gang violence and crime that people grow up in.

00:33:51.000 There's a culture of government dependency that is very difficult to overcome.

00:33:54.000 And so Whoopi Goldberg says, you know, we can't talk about any of those things.

00:33:57.000 The real reason for disparity in America must be racism.

00:34:00.000 It can't be any of these other factors that, by the way, apply exactly the same to white people who grow up in single mother homes and are parts of gangs. 0.59

00:34:07.000 There are poor white people in America, too.

00:34:08.000 Lots of them. 0.99

00:34:09.000 More poor white people in America than poor black people in America. 0.99

00:34:12.000 By a long shot, actually.

00:34:14.000 But Whoopi Goldberg says we can't talk about any of those other issues.

00:34:16.000 Or, guess what? 0.99

00:34:18.000 You're a racist. 1.00

00:34:19.000 Here we go. 0.99

00:34:19.000 Don't tell us how to raise our kids. 0.99

00:34:20.000 So, telling us, particularly black folks and particularly black parents, that we need to teach our children better because they're probably going to be killed by each other. 1.00

00:34:33.000 It's not the way to do this, because we already know what we need to say to our children. 0.92

00:34:40.000 This has been going on a very long time, but it doesn't help if you stir the pot, Rudy.

00:34:48.000 Well, he's not the only one.

00:34:49.000 No, he's not the only one, but he's the one I'm talking to now, along with Mr. Bratton, you know, to tell us to take a page out of the end

00:35:02.000 NAACP's playbook is kind of, it's kind of not the thing you want to say.

00:35:11.000 I would say you first.

00:35:13.000 None of the people who were shot, not the police officers, not the people who were shot over the weekend, none of them were disrespecting the police.

00:35:25.000 So telling us to be nicer, to be quieter, is not going to work.

00:35:29.000 You first, I say.

00:35:31.000 Be respectful.

00:35:33.000 Understand why people are upset.

00:35:35.000 Okay, don't be nicer to the cops isn't going to work?

00:35:37.000 It isn't?

00:35:38.000 Alton Sterling physically resisted the cops.

00:35:41.000 In Louisiana.

00:35:41.000 That's on the tape.

00:35:43.000 And the idea that if you don't want to... I don't understand why this is even mildly controversial.

00:35:48.000 If you don't want run-ins with cops, be in a place where there are less crimes.

00:35:52.000 This is just basic common sense.

00:35:55.000 But the idea that we can't tell, again, that only when they say they want a conversation, the left, when the racial left says they want a conversation, what they really want is a monologue. 0.60

00:36:02.000 They want to yell at you, and they want their feelings legitimized.

00:36:04.000 You know, when I talk to my wife, we'll have conversations where she's upset sometimes.

00:36:08.000 And we have a rule in these conversations, which, by the way, you should apply to your relationships in marriage.

00:36:12.000 It's a very useful rule.

00:36:14.000 Men have a tendency to listen to what their wives are saying and then say, OK, let's solve the problem. 1.00

00:36:20.000 Because men, by nature, tend to be problem solvers.

00:36:22.000 Let me grab a hammer and drive a nail. 0.88

00:36:24.000 Let me do something to fix this.

00:36:26.000 So women sometimes just want to moan about what's going on in their lives. 1.00

00:36:29.000 So we have a rule.

00:36:30.000 And the rule is that before each conversation that starts like this, where she's going to complain about something, I say, OK, sweetheart, do you want to just complain about this?

00:36:37.000 Or do you want me to try and fix it?

00:36:39.000 Because if I try to fix it, then sometimes you get upset, right?

00:36:41.000 Because you just want me to hear what you're saying.

00:36:43.000 You just want me to hear your feelings.

00:36:45.000 What we're talking about racially, I think one of the biggest disconnects here is that the left pretend that they want solutions, and they don't.

00:36:53.000 They just want to complain about the problem because they gain votes, and they gain credibility, and it's not politically dangerous to talk about solutions.

00:37:00.000 Talking about solutions is politically dangerous because those solutions are almost always politically unpalatable.

00:37:06.000 Solutions like get married before you have children.

00:37:08.000 Solutions like raise your children not to join gangs and become involved in criminal activity.

00:37:13.000 Solutions like there need to be more cops in your community not fewer cops in your community to enforce the law.

00:37:19.000 Solutions like your community has to cooperate with the cops to turn in criminals rather than protecting criminals because they happen to be members of your family or people that you know.

00:37:29.000 Right, these are actual solutions that would solve the problem, but those solutions are all politically unpalatable, so instead what you'll get is politicians and commentators and everybody just saying, all the feelings have to be looked at, all the feelings have to be just spilled down onto the table.

00:37:41.000 And you say, okay, well, but those feelings are actually an obstacle to the solution, because not all feelings are justified.

00:37:46.000 Because when you say that you hate the cops, or when you say that the cops are all racists, you're actually creating an obstacle now, because if you say all cops are racist, and I say the solution is more cops in your community,

00:37:57.000 And you don't have any evidence to say they're racist, you just feel that way.

00:38:00.000 We can't come to a conclusion, because according to you, I'm now saying there should be more racists in your community.

00:38:06.000 Not all feelings are justified. 0.87

00:38:07.000 Do you want a solution, or do you want to bitch about the problem? 1.00

00:38:10.000 Do you want a solution or do you want to just complain? 0.96

00:38:13.000 Do you want to just talk about how America's racist?

00:38:15.000 And I have a feeling that most people in America who are part of this debate just want to talk about how America's racist or gain moral credibility points like Newt Gingrich and Marco Rubio for saying America's racist.

00:38:24.000 Ooh, now they understand the black man in America because they've said that.

00:38:29.000 Well, it's not a matter of black and white, it's a matter of right and wrong.

00:38:33.000 Why is it that criminality, excessive force, wrong killings, why shouldn't we have the same standard for everybody on this stuff?

00:38:41.000 And the answer is because the left doesn't want the same standard for everybody.

00:38:43.000 They're using race as a club to tear down the system. 0.99

00:38:46.000 They couldn't use class, and now they're going to use race as a club to tear down the system. 1.00

00:38:50.000 That's what Marc Lamont Hill is doing.

00:38:52.000 That's what Malina Abdul is doing. 1.00

00:38:53.000 That's what Michael Eric Dyson is doing.

00:38:55.000 That's what Whoopi Goldberg is doing, even though she's not smart enough to acknowledge that's what she's doing, but that's what she's doing.

00:38:59.000 Okay.

00:39:01.000 So meanwhile, there's still a presidential race on.

00:39:03.000 There's a new poll out today, and Republicans are all hot and bothered over this thing.

00:39:06.000 They're saying that it's amazing.

00:39:08.000 Look at this.

00:39:08.000 Donald Trump is only down three points.

00:39:10.000 There's another way to read that poll, okay?

00:39:13.000 In the last four weeks, we have had the biggest single terror attack since 9-11 on American soil.

00:39:20.000 We've had an anti-cop massacre in Dallas, to which Hillary Clinton responded wrongly.

00:39:25.000 We've had Brexit, right, the British leaving the EU.

00:39:28.000 And we've had Hillary Clinton being specifically called out for criminal conduct by the FBI. 1.00

00:39:33.000 And Donald Trump is still down three.

00:39:36.000 Could you possibly have a better news cycle for Donald Trump and he's still down three?

00:39:40.000 I don't know what you people expect, gang.

00:39:42.000 I don't know if you expect him to just leap to the moon at some point, but when all of the factual scenarios, when the news cycle tends to break politically in your favor, forget about good or bad, a lot of terrible things are happening obviously, when the news cycle breaks in your favor and you can't make real hay out of it, when your deficit goes from six points to three,

00:40:02.000 Mitt Romney would have been up at 10 by this point.

00:40:04.000 10, not 3, 10. 0.71

00:40:05.000 It would be a disaster for the Democrats by this point, but it isn't because we have an incompetent candidate.

00:40:11.000 That said, it's time for a little bit, you know, we haven't done it in a few days because all the news has been very serious, but it's time for a little bit of Good Trump, Bad Trump.

00:40:18.000 So we'll start with Good Trump.

00:40:20.000 So Donald Trump on this particular police issue has actually been quite good.

00:40:23.000 He's been very, very good on this issue, as good as Donald Trump is capable of being without hurting his brain.

00:40:28.000 So Donald Trump,

00:40:30.000 I am

00:40:59.000 The law and order candidate. 0.96

00:41:13.000 Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, is weak, ineffective, pandering, and, as proven by her recent email scandal, which was an embarrassment not only to her, 1.00

00:41:28.000 But to the entire nation as a whole, she's either a liar or grossly incompetent. 1.00

00:41:36.000 One or the other. 0.99

00:41:37.000 Very simple.

00:41:41.000 Okay, why wasn't he doing this for two weeks?

00:41:43.000 Why was he talking about weird Jewish star memes and all the other nonsense he's been talking about?

00:41:49.000 But this is good, Trump.

00:41:50.000 So if Trump did this all the way to the convention, he'd be in solid shape.

00:41:54.000 He'd be in good shape.

00:41:54.000 And Trump continues along these lines.

00:41:56.000 He says, look, every kid in America should be able to securely, excuse me, walk the streets.

00:42:01.000 And this is exactly right.

00:42:03.000 Every kid in America should be able to securely walk the streets in their own neighborhood without harm.

00:42:11.000 Everyone will be protected equally and treated justly without prejudice.

00:42:17.000 We will be tough.

00:42:19.000 We will be smart.

00:42:20.000 We will be fair.

00:42:22.000 And we will protect all Americans.

00:42:28.000 Okay, that's good stuff.

00:42:29.000 That's good stuff.

00:42:30.000 And Hillary Clinton doesn't say that stuff. 1.00

00:42:31.000 She just says white people need to be more considerate. 0.99

00:42:34.000 So a black guy shoots 11 cops, and the problem is white people. 1.00

00:42:38.000 Obviously. 0.99

00:42:39.000 Clearly.

00:42:40.000 And then it was time for a little bit of, you guessed it, bad Trump, because it's a day ending in Y. So, here's Donald Trump explaining what he's going to do at the Republican National Convention.

00:42:52.000 And that is, he's going to be Donald Trump.

00:42:55.000 The big question is, with the Republican National Convention coming up, am I going to use a teleprompter or not?

00:43:02.000 And I don't know if it's ever been done without essentially a teleprompter.

00:43:06.000 Is that a game time decision?

00:43:08.000 No, I would say I'll make a decision at some time, maybe a week before, but I'd love to do it actually without a teleprompter.

00:43:15.000 Oh boy.

00:43:18.000 And Donald Trump without a teleprompter at the Republican National Convention. 0.96

00:43:23.000 I mean, why doesn't he just pour gasoline on himself and set himself on fire right now? 0.99

00:43:27.000 Like, just finish it. 0.99

00:43:28.000 I mean, this is like, this is, that is crazy talk.

00:43:31.000 That's crazy talk.

00:43:32.000 So, you wonder why people are a little nervous about Donald Trump?

00:43:34.000 They're right there.

00:43:36.000 That's the reason people are a little nervous about Donald Trump.

00:43:39.000 Okay, time for some things I like and then some things that I hate.

00:43:42.000 So,

00:43:43.000 Things that we're doing surprise endings this week.

00:43:44.000 So, because I'm hoping for a surprise ending at the convention, but I'm going to be sadly disappointed.

00:43:49.000 So, surprise ending this week.

00:43:50.000 So, Planet of the Apes.

00:43:52.000 Everybody knows the surprise ending at the end of Planet of the Apes.

00:43:54.000 The original Planet of the Apes.

00:43:56.000 If you don't, it's because you're culturally illiterate.

00:43:57.000 But I'll assume you are for purposes of this particular

00:44:00.000 This particular segment.

00:44:01.000 Planet of the Apes is actually a really good movie.

00:44:03.000 The original, written by Rod Serling, the guy behind Twilight Zone, the concept is great, the script is terrific, the music is phenomenal.

00:44:09.000 Jerry Goldsmith wrote the score to this film, and he wrote it in Arnold Schoenberg's 12-tone style.

00:44:15.000 The way the 12-tone works, basically, is that if you use... There are 12 tones in a scale, including the half-steps.

00:44:20.000 If you use any tone in the 12 tones, you now have to use the other 11 before you can go back to the original tone.

00:44:26.000 This entire score is written in Schoenberg 12-tone style, and it gives it a really weird, creepy feel.

00:44:34.000 The score is brilliant.

00:44:35.000 It's brilliant.

00:44:35.000 And the movie itself is really compelling, and it's a very good movie.

00:44:39.000 And the ending is, of course, bleh.

00:44:41.000 I mean, the first time I saw this, I was probably, I don't know, eight or nine.

00:44:44.000 The first time I saw this, I was just jaw on the floor, the ending to this film.

00:44:48.000 Okay, so here's the preview for those who have never seen the original Planet of the Apes.

00:45:01.000 Says what you're about to see is from the year's most unusual and important motion picture based on a novel by the author of Bridge on the River Kwai.

00:45:08.000 Discover Planet of the Apes.

00:45:23.000 A civilization where humans run wild in the jungle. 0.80

00:45:30.000 And the superior beings are apes.

00:45:33.000 So you can stop it there.

00:45:46.000 This movie is freaking bizarre.

00:45:49.000 This movie is creepy as all hell.

00:45:50.000 It's a super creepy movie.

00:45:53.000 And again, the script is terrific, and the music is fantastic.

00:45:58.000 I mean, if you're listening to the music and you're getting creeped out, that's because it's a really good score.

00:46:01.000 Okay.

00:46:02.000 Time for some things that I hate.

00:46:03.000 So, naturally, we're now back in the cycle where celebrities decide that they have to get involved in politics.

00:46:08.000 So you've got WNBA players, and apparently they don Black Lives Matter shirts. 1.00

00:46:13.000 At one of their games.

00:46:14.000 First of all, I'm not sure how anybody knew about that, because I don't know who goes to WNBA games.

00:46:18.000 I mean, I thought they were probably the only people there.

00:46:20.000 It was like them, their immediate families.

00:46:22.000 But apparently there were some cops there, and the cops walked out. 1.00

00:46:24.000 Which they should, because the slander of Black Lives Matter is the implication, the implica- It's so stupid. 1.00

00:46:30.000 It's such a dumb conversation. 0.99

00:46:31.000 People say, Black Lives Matter isn't racist. 0.99

00:46:34.000 Okay, it's not racist to just say Black Lives Matter, because Black Lives Matter, Brown Lives Matter, White Lives Matter, duh.

00:46:41.000 What's racist is the implication that there are a bunch of people out here like me who think black lives don't matter.

00:46:45.000 Of course black lives matter!

00:46:47.000 It's like saying that there's no sky is blue movement.

00:46:50.000 There's no white lives matter movement. 0.70

00:46:53.000 For the same reason that if we made a shirt that said, babies lives matter, the pro-choice movement would fully understand that we're ripping on abortion.

00:47:00.000 When you say black lives matter, what they're saying really is that cops don't think black lives matter.

00:47:05.000 That's really what they're saying there.

00:47:06.000 And so the cops walked out and it's just, I don't understand why every aspect of American life has to be filled with politics.

00:47:11.000 And this is coming from somebody who's obsessed with politics.

00:47:14.000 Okay, finally.

00:47:15.000 Last thing I hate for the day. 1.00

00:47:17.000 So this idiot 14-year-old kid, and this kid is, you know, there's this whole group of people on the left who indoctrinate their children and then celebrate when their kids preach back to them all the things that they've taught to them. 1.00

00:47:30.000 So there's this 14-year-old kid named Royce Mann. 0.99

00:47:33.000 He participated in a poetry slam at his private school in Atlanta, Georgia.

00:47:37.000 First of all, it's a private school, so I'm gonna go with it ain't exactly impoverished.

00:47:41.000 He participates in a poetry slam

00:47:44.000 Second indicator, it's not exactly impoverished, a poetry slam.

00:47:47.000 Also, indicator that the school is doing a terrible job.

00:47:50.000 No one should ever be involved in a poetry slam.

00:47:53.000 That should never happen for any reason.

00:47:56.000 Poetry slams are created by the devil and should never be allowed into the public square.

00:48:03.000 It's like BDSM.

00:48:04.000 You want to do it on your own time?

00:48:05.000 Enjoy yourself.

00:48:06.000 But don't, please, don't bring it into public.

00:48:07.000 Okay, so, Royce Mann is a 14-year-old, and he just trots out this routine about white privilege.

00:48:14.000 And of course, he gets cheered for this, right?

00:48:15.000 The white kid gets cheered for saying that he's privileged.

00:48:18.000 That's the way this works.

00:48:19.000 So if you just go out there and say, oh, yes, everything that has happened in my life is because I'm white.

00:48:23.000 Everybody, yay!

00:48:25.000 You're a genius!

00:48:26.000 Yay! 0.99

00:48:27.000 Whereas if you're actually a genius and you did something genius, if you, like, invented a new product, everybody would go, oh, that's nice.

00:48:33.000 But if you actually invented a scientific breakthrough, everybody would go, oh, that's kind of cool.

00:48:37.000 But if you go out there and you say, well, you know, I'm privileged, and I know because I'm a child.

00:48:41.000 And children have all the wisdom of the earth. 1.00

00:48:44.000 Nah, kids are dumb. 1.00

00:48:45.000 I mean, if kids were smart, they'd run the world. 1.00

00:48:47.000 And if kids did run the world, they'd all be bombing each other by age two.

00:48:50.000 I mean, legitimately, legitimately, two-year-olds in a room with guns.

00:48:54.000 No one survives.

00:48:55.000 So here's this 14-year-old kid.

00:48:58.000 Here's this 14-year-old kid doing his white boy privilege poetry slam.

00:49:02.000 My name is Joyce, and my poem is titled White Boy Privilege.

00:49:10.000 Dear women, I'm sorry. 1.00

00:49:13.000 Dear black people, I'm sorry. 1.00

00:49:15.000 Dear Asian Americans, dear Native Americans, dear immigrants who come here seeking a better life, I'm sorry. 1.00

00:49:23.000 Dear everyone who isn't a middle or upper class white boy, I'm sorry.

00:49:28.000 I have started life at the top of a ladder while you were born on the first rung.

00:49:33.000 I say now that I would change places with you in an instant, but if given the opportunity, would I?

00:49:38.000 Probably not, because to be honest, being privileged is awesome!

00:49:43.000 I'm not saying that you and me on different rungs of the ladder is how I want it to stay.

00:49:47.000 I'm not saying that any part of me has for a moment even liked it that way.

00:49:52.000 I'm just saying that I f***ing love being privileged and I'm not ready to give that away! 0.98

00:49:58.000 I love it because I can say f*** and not one of you is attributing that to the fact that every one of my skin color has a dirty mouth. 0.94

00:50:06.000 I love it because I don't have to spend an hour every morning putting on makeup to meet other people's standards. 0.97

00:50:12.000 I love it because I can worry about what kind of food is on my plate instead of whether or not there will be food on my plate.

00:50:19.000 I love it because when I see a police officer... Okay, let me explain something to you, stupid 14-year-old child. 1.00

00:50:28.000 Everyone in life, everyone, is born in a different circumstance. 1.00

00:50:32.000 All the people are born in different circumstances.

00:50:34.000 Yes, some of those are better.

00:50:36.000 Yes, some of those are worse.

00:50:37.000 But if you don't have equal rules that apply to everyone, it matters where you end up in life and what direction you're going, not where you started.

00:50:44.000 If you think that where you started is where you end up, then you're living in a tyranny.

00:50:48.000 If you think that where you started should not determine where you end up, then you're in favor of freedom and you should get out of the way instead of just wandering around talking about how privilege is an unalterable, an unalterable, lack of privilege is an unalterable burden that you have to, that you can't overcome.

00:51:02.000 You're just stuck.

00:51:03.000 No matter, if you're born without privilege, then you're just stuck.

00:51:06.000 Of course people are born with different privileges.

00:51:08.000 They're born with two parents instead of one parent.

00:51:10.000 They're born rich instead of poor. 1.00

00:51:11.000 They're born smart instead of stupid. 1.00

00:51:12.000 Like, this happens. 1.00

00:51:14.000 That doesn't mean that the solution to that is to simply apologize for your privilege and then suggest that that privilege is unalterable and you're stuck where you are.

00:51:22.000 Again, that's part of the whole tear down the entire system routine.

00:51:25.000 Because if you're stuck where you are, that's unfair.

00:51:26.000 We have to tear down the entire system.

00:51:28.000 And by the way, I don't attribute the kid saying the F word to the fact that he's white. 0.99

00:51:34.000 I don't attribute black people saying the F word to the fact that they're black. 0.99

00:51:38.000 I attribute people who are 14 years old saying the F word to the fact that they have crappy parents. 1.00

00:51:43.000 That's what I attribute that to. 0.99

00:51:44.000 And crappy teachers who are sitting there just nodding along. 0.62

00:51:48.000 How about, again, equal standards applied to everyone.

00:51:51.000 That doesn't mean we all finish up in the same place.

00:51:53.000 It doesn't even mean that we all have equal opportunities, so to speak, because the fact is that we don't.

00:51:58.000 I don't have an equal opportunity to play in the NBA.

00:52:00.000 Number one, I have no outside jump shot.

00:52:02.000 Number two, I can't exactly post up.

00:52:03.000 I'm 5'9".

00:52:05.000 But that doesn't mean that the rules don't apply to everyone equally, and what you make of those rules is up to you.

00:52:11.000 It's your job to make sure that you succeed in life.

00:52:14.000 It's the government's job to make sure that everyone else gets out of your way.

00:52:17.000 It's not the government's job to correct what Thomas Sowell calls cosmic imbalances.

00:52:21.000 There's no quest for cosmic justice inherent in life.

00:52:24.000 And sitting there complaining about how you're born,

00:52:27.000 Welcome to Earth.

00:52:28.000 Welcome to Earth.

00:52:29.000 Nobody begged to be born.

00:52:32.000 None of us had a choice in that.

00:52:33.000 And nobody begs to die, or very few people do.

00:52:36.000 We don't have a choice in that either.

00:52:37.000 What we do between those two points, that's up to you in a free society.

00:52:41.000 And you should aim for the kind of society where that is up to you, not the kind of society where your circumstances is changed by outside forces beyond your control, or where you get to victimize your neighbor in order to change your own circumstance.

00:52:54.000 We'll talk more about that.

00:52:54.000 I'm sure we'll talk about President Obama's address.

00:52:56.000 He's speaking right now about the Dallas cops.

00:52:58.000 I'll give you the update on that tomorrow.

00:52:59.000 There's plenty more to talk about.

00:53:01.000 Plus, I think that we're going to switch it around.

00:53:02.000 I think we're going to do the mailbag.

00:53:04.000 We'll keep doing the mailbag on Thursdays.

00:53:05.000 I think we'll do Bible verse on Wednesdays, so we separate it a little bit.

00:53:08.000 So tomorrow we'll do some Bible talk, if that's your thing.

00:53:12.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:53:13.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
