The left has hit on a hot new solution to supposed systemic racist brutality from American police departments. Disband the police! This idea has picked up steam in recent weeks as left-wingers continue to label cops systemically racist. So much so, that Jessica D'Souz, a black activist, told Fox News' Megynkel the other night, "We need to abolish the police, period." When asked by Megyn Kelly who would then protect Black people, she answered, We need to come up with community solutions. When people can't rely on the cops to keep the peace, they join a gang to ensure the threat of revenge if they're harmed. What will actually flourish in the absence of Americanism and law enforcement? What will spring up in its wake? Chaos and murder! Only one problem... only one problem! A new society, flourishing in absence of America's historic ills. What will arise in the wake of America s racist system? a chaos and murder that harms the communities lacking the cops? But if the left wants to build a brand new world, I guess a few thousand Black lives are apparently apparently worth the cost? Ben Shapiro explains why the cops are not the enforcer for a racist system, but the problem is America's racist system. And if the police aren t racist, you get an uptick in crime that helps the communities without the cops, but if the cops aren t needed anymore, what will flourish in their wake? . What are we even here to fight racism anymore? Ben Shapiro: America s racist? What's the real problem is racism? And why are the cops the problem? The real problem, you ask? President Obama is a narcissist, not the cops and he s incapable of helping himself because he s racist And he s a racist, and he's incapable of running off off of a racist society He s racist because he feels the need to start running off of the mouth about how are the real racists in American society? But the real racist society is the problem, right? He's racist, isn t he? - Ben Shapiro ? - The problem is the cops have been shot by a racist. - What are you gonna do about it? - What s up with that? - And we don t have a problem with that, you ll see?
00:00:08.000This interesting notion has picked up steam in recent weeks.
00:00:11.000Leftists continue to label cops systemically racist, so Jessica D'Souz, a black activist, told Fox News' Megyn Kelly the other night, quote, we need to abolish the police, period.
00:00:21.000When asked by Megyn Kelly, who would then protect black people, she answered, quote, we need to come up with community solutions.
00:00:27.000The problem in high crime communities has been, historically, the lack of police.
00:00:31.000And the community solution that usually rises in the wake of such a dearth of police is gangs murdering each other.
00:00:36.000If people can't rely on the cops to keep the peace, they join a gang to ensure the threat of revenge if they're harmed.
00:00:41.000Jo Levy of the LA Times has written in her book Ghettocide, quote, African Americans have suffered from just such a lack of criminal, effective criminal justice, and this, more than anything.
00:01:08.000Nonetheless, the hot new solution, according to the left, is to disband the only people who can ensure that the state's monopoly on violence means something.
00:01:15.000Thus, we find idiot actors like Mark Ruffalo tweeting, quote, defund bad cops and police departments.
00:01:19.000Tell Obama, we need an executive order.
00:01:26.000First, if you believe that the cops are, as Professor Molina Abdullah has said, an occupying force, the only solution is to end the occupation.
00:01:33.000Second, there's a deeper goal of removing the rule of law from the system because the system itself is supposedly corrupt.
00:01:39.000If the police are the enforcement arm for America, and if America's racist, the only way to fight American racism is to disband the enforcement arm.
00:01:55.000What will actually flourish in the absence of the Americanism and law enforcement arm is chaos and murder.
00:02:00.000There's a reason Rudy Giuliani, the guy that the Black Lives Matter folks now hate more than anybody else, he's responsible for saving thousands of black lives during his tenure.
00:02:25.000...tend to demonize people who don't care about your feelings?
00:02:31.000Okay, so we have a ton to get to today, and of course, welcome to Facebook Live, where we are operative, where our show is currently streaming, where all the wonders of the earth are available to you, if you just go there right now.
00:02:42.000And then later, if you give us eight bucks a month and we pry it from your fingers, then you'll actually be able to watch the entire show, you stingy bastards.
00:02:48.000So in any case, make sure that you go there right now.
00:02:52.000In fact, I'm going to tweet it out right now.
00:02:56.000I should've done this earlier, but you know what?
00:03:01.000We'll start off with President Obama in Dallas.
00:03:03.000It turns out the President of the United States is not just the world's crappiest president, he's also one of the world's crappiest humans.
00:03:09.000So, five cops get murdered in Dallas by an anti-white racist who says he's there to kill cops, and President Obama pretends for days.
00:03:18.000I don't know why this, why would this happen?
00:03:44.000He's a narcissist, and he's a racist, and because he's a narcissist racist, he feels the need to start running off the mouth about how cops are the real racists in American society.
00:04:06.000He did a bunch of things in his speech that were really bad.
00:04:08.000One of the things he did, and you'll see it in a second, is he equated the murder of the cops with the killing of Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana.
00:04:17.000We still don't know any of the circumstances surrounding either of those killings.
00:04:56.000And the reason they're not clapping is because to equate those two things, to suggest that the police are targeting people like Philando Castile the same way that this guy, this piece of garbage targeted police officers, is evidence-free, it's gross, it's despicable, but that's what President Obama does.
00:05:41.000That centuries of racial discrimination, of slavery and subjugation, and Jim Crow, they didn't simply vanish with the end of lawful segregation.
00:05:58.000They didn't just stop when Dr. King made a speech or the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act were signed.
00:06:09.000Race relations have improved dramatically in my lifetime.
00:06:15.000Those who deny it are dishonoring the struggles that helped us achieve that progress.
00:06:25.000But we know... But America, we know that bias remains.
00:06:43.000Whether you are black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or of Middle Eastern descent, we have all seen this bigotry in our own lives at some point.
00:06:54.000We've heard it at times in our own homes.
00:07:00.000If we're honest, perhaps we've heard prejudice in our own heads and felt it in our own hearts.
00:07:09.000He's lecturing the cops about systemic racial bias in police departments at a funeral memorial for five cops who were shot by a racist.
00:07:20.000I don't hear him talking about racism in the black community.
00:07:22.000I don't hear him talking about anti-white racism in the black community, as I mentioned yesterday, by polling data, a plurality of blacks.
00:07:54.000I'm actually emailing with the professor's research assistant on this particular study, because there's only one table in the study that really matters.
00:08:00.000It's a long study, but the only thing that really matters is there's one statistic that says that, well, first of all, all the statistics you've heard from that study about how the police use force more often on black people and Hispanic people, the vast majority of those statistics
00:08:35.000I'm trying to nail down what's the source for that statistic because they're not being perfectly clear about what that means.
00:08:44.000So as soon as I get you that information, I'm happy to bring that to you and we can discuss what the ramifications are of that.
00:08:49.000Does that mean there's systemic bias and all the rest?
00:08:51.000But first I want to nail that down because they're basing it on New York Stop and Frisk statistics that are, it's not clear where they're getting their full information or if they're reading too much into it.
00:08:59.000So I'll get you that information, but it doesn't matter.
00:09:36.000More likely to get the death penalty for the same crime.
00:09:39.000Okay, so he says a few things there, and all of them are basically wrong.
00:09:43.000So he says, let's see, you're more likely to be pulled over or searched or arrested.
00:09:48.000You're more likely to be pulled over because you're more likely to be speeding.
00:09:51.000You're more likely to be arrested because you're more likely to be committing a crime.
00:09:55.000You're more likely to be searched because you're more likely to be committing a crime.
00:09:58.000Not on an individual level, obviously, as we mentioned yesterday.
00:10:01.000Just because you're black doesn't mean you're a criminal.
00:10:03.000But the black population is responsible for a higher percentage of crime than would be suggested by the proportion of the population.
00:10:10.000He says you're more likely to get longer sentences.
00:10:12.000This statistic only works if you fail to recognize that black people coming into court and who get longer sentences are getting longer sentences because they have a prior criminal history.
00:10:23.000And he says, you're more likely to get the death penalty for the same crime.
00:10:26.000Actually, murder is significantly under-prosecuted in the black community.
00:10:30.000Significantly under-prosecuted in the black community, not over-prosecuted in the black community.
00:10:36.000And when they give the death penalty, by the way, the death penalty is almost entirely based on other circumstances other than just the murder.
00:10:42.000This is why there aren't thousands and thousands of people on death row around the United States, because in order to actually get the death penalty, there has to be something particularly egregious that you did connected with the murder, which naturally means that it's not the same circumstance, it's something different.
00:11:16.000And then he continues, and he starts defending the Black Lives Matter agenda.
00:11:21.000When all this takes place more than 50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, we cannot simply turn away and dismiss those in peaceful protest as troublemakers or paranoid.
00:11:46.000We can't simply dismiss it as a symptom of political correctness.
00:12:41.000I seem to remember a time when the President of the United States said that those of us who were protesting larger government in the Tea Party were a bunch of terrorists.
00:12:55.000I'm old enough to remember when the President of the United States suggested that anybody who said that if you like your doctor, you can't keep your doctor, that you can keep your doctor, that anybody who said that was a lie.
00:13:04.000I remember him saying, you're paranoid if you said that.
00:13:06.000Just like he says that we're paranoid if we say that you're coming after our guns.
00:13:34.000When the President of the United States, the man who's the leader of the free world, is this bad of a human being, it really does make you sick in the pit of your stomach.
00:13:42.000But President Obama didn't stop there.
00:13:45.000Following the Rahm Emanuel directive, never let a good crisis go to waste, he uses this funeral now to push.
00:13:53.000As a society, we choose to underinvest in decent schools.
00:14:00.000We allow poverty to fester so that entire neighborhoods offer no prospect for gainful employment.
00:14:08.000Okay, so he says that we have to spend more money on all sorts of things.
00:14:11.000He's trying to mirror what the police chief in Dallas said the other day, where he said that we haven't invested in mental health, for example.
00:14:19.000And you notice, Obama doesn't mirror exactly what the police chief said.
00:14:22.000The police chief actually said, you're telling us that it's our job to fill the gap left by 70% single motherhood in the black community.
00:14:28.000You notice Obama doesn't say that one.
00:15:30.000His crappy book is available on Amazon for one cent with no background check.
00:15:34.000Okay, so the idea that literally one cent for dreams for my father, a paperback, no background check.
00:15:40.000The idea that it's easier to buy guns anywhere in the United States than a book or a computer is maybe the stupidest thing any president has ever said.
00:16:48.000It's all about us getting in a room and then the chief psychiatrist, the commander in psychiatry in chief, he's going to heal our wounds like the god king that he is, the great god being who can save all of us.
00:17:02.000We're going to spill out our feelings on the table.
00:17:04.000I said yesterday, remember I said this about my wife, that we have a deal, which is you have to tell me before the conversation, do you want to just spill out your feelings or do you want me to solve the problem?
00:17:13.000The job of the president is to help solve the problem.
00:17:15.000He thinks the job of the president, and the Democrats say the job of their politics, is to find meaning and feelings and justify your feelings.
00:17:38.000Eight bucks a month, it ain't gonna kill you.
00:17:40.000I mean, for goodness sake, it's easier to get dailywire.com than it is to get a gun, to get a Glock, or a book.
00:17:45.000You can go to dailywire.com right now, or you can download the rest of the podcast.
00:17:49.000for audio on iTunes and SoundCloud, just like the tens of thousands of others who do, because we are, in fact, the number one podcast, conservative podcast in America, and you can be part of that every single day, so subscribe.
00:18:00.000Okay, so, continuing along these lines, when they say, what's amazing about this particular line of thought, that feelings matter more than solutions.
00:18:09.000Solutions don't matter, the only thing that matters is feelings, right?
00:18:14.000When you say that, and if your feelings are not based in reality,
00:18:18.000The feelings become an obstacle to the solution.
00:18:21.000So, you've had an argument with your spouse, right?
00:18:23.000And your spouse says, you're always doing something.
00:18:47.000If you say, I feel the police have been racist to me and my community, I can say, okay, show me the evidence of a police activity that's racist, we can condemn it together, and then the police person can be punished.
00:18:58.000That's how I would solve that particular problem.
00:19:02.000Or if you were going to say there are too many run-ins between cops and black people, I would say, okay, well, let's have some more cops, and let's have a feeling of law and order, and make sure that we enforce all of the rules on cops, obviously, but there's a greater comfort level between the cops and the community because they know they're not the only line of defense between themselves and civilization.
00:20:24.000We need to get beyond your experience, and we need to get to what actually solves the problem.
00:20:28.000But Obama doesn't want to solve the problem, you see?
00:20:30.000Because if you stand there as a politician and say you feel somebody's pain, as Bill Clinton used to do, if you say, I feel your pain, much more
00:21:25.000This sort of routine from President Obama, again, it just underscores the fact that he will never let a crisis go to waste or a tragedy go to waste.
00:21:46.000When there's a riot, it makes for good TV.
00:21:48.000And then we can just—and then there are all the leftist activists on TV who take it upon themselves to basically suggest that cops are the problem.
00:21:56.000Again, to me, the big story last week was not the killing of Alton Sterling in Louisiana or even the killing of Philando Castile, even though that one looks worse in Minnesota.
00:22:05.000Any objective person would say the big story last week was a guy took a sniper rifle and shot 11 police officers in the worst attack on police in the United States since 9-11.
00:22:15.000But that's not what the media are focusing on.
00:22:16.000So Don Lemon on CNN, he says, stop pretending racism doesn't exist.
00:22:20.000By the way, no one is pretending racism doesn't exist.
00:22:22.000All I'm saying is show me evidence so I can stand with you.
00:22:25.000I can't do it based on you just saying racism exists.
00:22:49.000Having only black cops in black neighborhoods?
00:22:50.000That didn't seem to help in Baltimore, by the way.
00:22:53.000The bottom line is what they say is, well, if you can't just acknowledge our feelings, we can't even get started.
00:22:57.000I don't have to acknowledge feelings to try and find a solution that works for everybody, and it turns out the solution generally has nothing to do with subjective feelings.
00:23:05.000It generally has to do with what works and what doesn't.
00:23:07.000Standards of evidence and truth exist regardless of your feelings.
00:23:11.000If I allege something happened, and I say that it was really bad, I should have to show evidence of that for you to react and for you to side with me.
00:23:20.000I have sympathy for black people who feel like they're being victimized by the police, but I want to know how that solves anything.
00:23:27.000And when you say society's racist, all you're really saying to young black people is no matter what you do, you're never getting out of here.
00:23:31.000No matter what you do, you are stuck here forever, so you may as well just say screw it, and you may as well talk back to the police, and you may as well assume they're here to do harm, and you don't talk to them because snitches get stitches.
00:23:41.000But Don Lemon thinks the most important thing is all the white people in America acknowledging American racism or some such nonsense.
00:23:48.000It is time for us to stop pretending that we don't, that racism doesn't exist.
00:23:55.000That bias doesn't exist in this culture.
00:23:57.000And if you will allow me, I'm going to share a very personal story that happened this weekend as I was out with friends.
00:24:03.000We were discussing the Dallas shooting at a bar slash restaurant.
00:24:09.000And it was two African-Americans, me and someone else.
00:24:13.000And there were other that were with us in the immediate vicinity and we were discussing it.
00:24:17.000And as we were talking about it, my friend is talking about it, who is a black guy.
00:24:20.000And the guy looked at him and said, talking about the Dallas shootings, he said, how does that make you feel?
00:24:28.000And everybody just got quiet and looked like, is this 2016?
00:26:12.000It's just you feel better by saying America's racist, and then a bunch of upper-crust white people think it makes them better people by saying America's racist, and I'm not them, so I'm not a racist.
00:26:21.000I can prove I'm not a racist by saying America's racist.
00:26:24.000And Jameel Hill and Michael Smith, both black folks on ESPN,
00:26:55.000But here are these two commentators on ESPN.
00:26:58.000Welcome to another serious topic for off-duty police officers in Minnesota.
00:27:03.000Working Saturday's Minnesota Lynx game walked off the job after the team wore t-shirts with Black Lives Matter, the name of victims Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.
00:27:14.000Both who were killed by police and a Dallas Police Department emblem, of course, signifying that tragedy.
00:27:21.000Castile was killed by an officer in nearby Falcon Heights, Minnesota.
00:27:27.000Now Lieutenant Bob Crowell, the president of Minneapolis Police Union, their police union rather, commended the officers for their decision.
00:27:35.000He also said the officers removed their names from a list to work future games and that others have said they will not work Lynx games.
00:27:45.000If I'm the Minnesota Lynx, I say, good.
00:27:50.000Okay, so the good riddance, get out, fine.
00:27:53.000So you say these cops who don't appreciate you wearing t-shirts with names of people where the circumstances aren't even known yet?
00:27:59.000I mean, listen, just a couple of years ago, there were people who were wearing Michael Brown t-shirts and running out onto NFL fields doing hands up, don't shoot.
00:28:32.000If we can't agree on our feelings, then certainly we're never going to get to a solution.
00:28:36.000He's going to use that logic in reverse.
00:28:37.000He's going to propose solutions that are completely unpalatable, and then he's going to say, you won't even agree on the feelings, so how can we agree on the solutions?
00:28:44.000That's where he's going here, and it's just gross.
00:28:47.000Meanwhile, actual racist shooting, or appears to at least be a racially-tinned shooting in Chicago, it's certainly a criminal shooting, Laquan McDonald, if you don't remember this particular case, there's a black guy who is making trouble, I guess at a McDonald's or something, and somebody called the cops, and he starts walking away from the cops, and the cops shoot him down.
00:29:06.000And Rahm Emanuel, who's the mayor of the city, is up for re-election at the time, and he basically ensures that no tape comes out at all of this until after his re-election.
00:30:39.000I mean, there are so many individual cases.
00:30:41.000There are certain cases where this takes place, and it's horrible.
00:30:45.000I mean, somebody will meet, they'll have a commission meet, and the commission may have an answer, but I almost don't care what the commission says, because I, you know, I see it with my eyes.
00:30:54.000I hate what I saw, those two instances.
00:30:57.000I hate what I saw when somebody guns down all of these policemen and kills five policemen.
00:31:23.000Thank you for that brilliant moral leadership and guidance, Donald Trump.
00:31:27.000And how does that make the solution better?
00:31:29.000So presumably the next solution is for President Obama to federalize the police forces, right?
00:31:32.000Sending the DOJ to crack down on the local cops and suggest that they are better than anybody else, and making sure that black people aren't victimized by the local police, again, without evidence.
00:32:25.000So it's very close, in other words, in all of these swing states.
00:32:28.000I will point out something that I have been pointing out about these polls for weeks now.
00:32:33.000In none of the polls, state, federal, any of the polls, is Donald Trump above 42%.
00:32:39.000So all the polls where Donald Trump is running neck and neck with Hillary are polls where it shows Trump 41, Hillary 39, Trump 39, Hillary 41, Trump 39, Hillary 39.
00:32:47.000Okay, that's not going to be the actual election result, just so folks know.
00:32:52.000Okay, that's only 80% of the American population.
00:32:55.00020% isn't just going to disappear off the face of the earth.
00:32:58.000The volatility in the polls is all Hillary.
00:33:24.000If they hate Hillary enough, then Hillary will drop below Trump in the polls, but if those additional voters don't go to Trump, then she probably still wins.
00:33:33.000So she's up and down and up and down and up and down.
00:33:35.000She still has all the advantages despite the fact that she's the most corrupt candidate in American history.
00:33:40.000So I just want to point that out because there are a lot of people you're going to hear today saying this means that Trump is surging.
00:33:51.000And believe me, I don't think that the media are going to let Hillary full scale collapse.
00:33:55.000I think that right now is the dark time for Hillary.
00:33:57.000I think in six weeks, they're going to turn this around after the convention, after she picks her VP, the media will go all in against Donald Trump and Donald Trump will start falling behind again.
00:34:07.000But the Trump unification is indeed taking place.
00:34:11.000And Paul Ryan is awkwardly defending Donald Trump.
00:34:16.000And Tom Cotton, the senator from Arkansas, he's saying that he is going to speak at the RNC, which is true.
00:34:20.000And Rudy Giuliani is going to speak at the RNC.
00:34:22.000The VP pick is supposed to come by Friday.
00:34:24.000Right now, today, I guess in Indiana, he's in there meeting with Mike Pence.
00:34:50.000I think that if he comes out and he says, OK, Christie's my attorney general, and Gingrich is my chief of staff, and Mike Flynn, this general, this general is my new secretary of defense.
00:34:59.000I don't think he'd be a good secretary of defense, but that's another question.
00:35:11.000Theory number two is that basically this is now a cage match and that, for ratings, Trump will actually put them in Thunderdome and let them battle to the death.
00:35:20.000And theory number three is my own personal theory, which is that Donald Trump is going to line them up and then have a rose ceremony.
00:35:26.000And like in The Bachelorette, which my wife will not stop watching, and it's making me crazy.
00:35:40.000If you're on the Trump bandwagon, this week, next week, the next three weeks are the good time for Trump.
00:35:44.000So if you're in the betting markets, now's the time when you buy Trump stock, and then you sell Trump stock like two days after the convention.
00:35:54.000Okay, another issue on which Trump has been in the news is that Donald Trump called for Ruth Bader Ginsburg to resign.
00:35:59.000That's because Ruth Bader Ginsburg ripped into Donald Trump.
00:36:03.000She suggested that the country couldn't afford Donald Trump.
00:36:06.000She's sitting justice on the United States Supreme Court.
00:36:09.000Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a wild leftist.
00:36:12.000And so Donald Trump tweets back at her, Justice Ginsburg of the US Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me.
00:38:20.000She said years ago that she would prefer the South African Constitution to the American Constitution because of obviously all the liberty and prosperity that's been had in South Africa in recent years since the advent of that Constitution.
00:38:31.000The fact that she said this, the reason I like it is because I like when the mask comes off.
00:39:13.000Take away the power of judicial review from a political Supreme Court because we don't have a super legislature in this country and I don't need Democrats telling me what to do in the name of the Constitution.
00:39:21.000So I like what Ruth Bader Ginsburg did.
00:39:23.000I also note that the media are unbelievable on this stuff.
00:39:26.000So the Associated Press ran a headline where they said something like, New York Times rips notorious RBG.
00:39:36.000This is what they're calling her now, right?
00:39:37.000This is a journalistic, this is a journalistic
00:41:14.000Tyrone Power, in love with a woman who holds his life in her beautiful hands.
00:41:20.000Charles Lawton, in the most scintillating role of his brilliant career.
00:41:25.000Marlena Dietrich, the woman of mystery, a fascinating question mark.
00:41:32.000Okay, so it's directed by Billy Wilder.
00:41:34.000He's a terrific director, all-time director.
00:41:36.000It's a really good—and then it says at the very end of that preview, by the way, that notice to patrons, they're advised not to take their seats during the last few minutes, right, to preserve the secret of the surprise ending.
00:41:46.000So this is a movie that's very famous for its surprise ending, and it is a good film.
00:42:32.000I mean, he serves his entire life for these people who are ungrateful, and they're constantly ripping on him, and they're constantly being stiff-necked and terrible with God.
00:42:41.000And then Moses takes them all the way to the brink, and then they don't go forward because they're, again, recalcitrant.
00:42:47.000And then God says, sorry, you can't go into the land.
00:42:58.000The people are whining again about how they don't have water.
00:43:01.000And so the Lord says to Moses, take your staff, assemble the congregation, you and your brother Aaron, speak to the rock in their presence, and it'll give forth its water.
00:43:08.000Now, this is the second time we've had a rock
00:43:11.000So back in Exodus, there's a rock magic trick where God actually tells Moses to hit the rock, and Moses hits the rock, and the water comes out.
00:43:17.000This time, he says, speak to the rock, and Moses instead takes the staff, and Moses and Aaron assemble the congregation, and they say, now listen you rebels, can we draw water for you from this rock?
00:43:28.000He hits the rock, the water comes forth, and then God says to Moses and Aaron, since you did not have faith in me to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, you shall not bring this assembly to the land which I have given them.
00:43:38.000So that seems like a pretty harsh punishment, right?
00:43:54.000Every human being has a godly designed role in the universe.
00:43:57.000Moses' role could not extend into the land.
00:44:00.000The reason that Moses' role couldn't extend into the land is because Moses, as a conduit between the nation and God, was in danger of almost becoming an idol to the people.
00:44:09.000And this is why, when God takes Moses, we still don't know where Moses is buried, because the idea was that God didn't want that to become kind of an idolatrous shrine to Moses.
00:44:19.000Moses also was a national leader, but he wasn't a war leader.
00:44:23.000And the person who takes Israel forth into the land is less a spiritual leader, Joshua, than he is a military leader.
00:44:46.000What actually happened here is that Moses—you have to understand, in the preceding segments of the Bible, just before this, Aaron, who's Moses' brother and his spokesperson,
00:44:56.000Aaron is getting really smacked around by life.
00:46:33.000So I think it's worthwhile explaining what happened there because the idea here is, number one, you have a preordained role in life that it is your job to find and fulfill.
00:46:42.000And we don't all get to see, we don't all get to enter the promised land, but it's our job to take
00:46:48.000But point number two is that the minute you begin valuing any institution over the will of God, which, by the way, I would include individual freedom and decency and morality, you get yourself in real hot water.
00:47:01.000There's no comparison between Moses and, you know, the situation in Penn State, but this week there was a news item where it turned out that Joe Paterno knew from the 70s that his defense coach, Jerry Sandusky, was involved in basically molesting kids.
00:47:13.000And everybody in the immediate vicinity apparently knew that this guy was involved.
00:47:18.000And the allegiance to Penn State football was so great that nobody said anything and all these kids get molested.
00:47:23.000This is true throughout human history.
00:47:24.000You wonder how great brutality, great evil happens?
00:47:27.000Great evil happens when people become fixed on the importance of any institution over the good.
00:47:35.000Moses wasn't going to do anything like that, of course.
00:47:36.000I mean, this is a momentary lapse, and that's what makes it so tragic.
00:47:39.000Moses tries to repent, God says, sorry.
00:47:42.000He holds Moses to a higher standard, because if you're speaking face-to-face with God, you don't get to make these kinds of mistakes, is sort of the idea.
00:47:47.000But it's a lesson that we all should take from it, because we're all on a lower level than Moses.
00:47:52.000We should take the more commonplace lesson.
00:47:54.000Okay, time for a couple of things that I hate.
00:47:56.000So, first of all, Matt Damon just keeps saying things.
00:48:01.000And Matt Damon, he's on all these posters for Jason Bourne holding a gun.
00:48:06.000He's very anti-gun, but he makes lots of money off guns.
00:48:09.000Now he says that he's frightened at the prospect of a Trump presidency, which is maybe the only reason I can think of to vote for Donald Trump.
00:48:16.000You know, I'm really frightened at the prospect of a Trump presidency and what that would mean.
00:48:21.000It's not even a Republican-Democrat issue.
00:48:24.000I'm genuinely concerned about his temperament.
00:48:28.000Somebody who's sending photos of their hands to people.
00:48:34.000If it's that easy to get under your skin, you should not be able to wield that much power.
00:48:38.000It's just too dangerous for the rest of us.
00:48:41.000Didn't you say you would leave the country?
00:48:44.000No, I think I'd try to work within the system to make it better, but I don't think I'd leave.
00:48:53.000Okay, so, you know, unfortunately he won't leave if Trump wins.
00:48:56.000That takes away my only reason to vote Trump.
00:49:10.000I don't know what the deal is with the Pokemon thing or why it's there or why people care about it.
00:49:16.000Apparently it just sort of pops up random places and you're supposed to sort of chase it around.
00:49:20.000Apparently there's one on my desk right now.
00:49:29.000But in any case, this Pokemon thing is just sitting around places and you're supposed to go around.
00:49:34.000People are finding it in like Auschwitz.
00:49:36.000And they said, please don't look for Pokemon Go in Auschwitz.
00:49:40.000They found it at the US Holocaust Memorial.
00:49:41.000And they're finding it at Arlington National Cemetery.
00:49:44.000Idiots are like running around at Arlington National Cemetery for looking for this kind of stupid crap.
00:49:50.000OK, number one, if you're not a 16-year-old girl, stop it.
00:49:53.000Go get a life, go find people worth taking pictures with, as opposed to a digitally created thingamabobber that you can take a picture with on your phone.
00:50:24.000If you're an adult, start acting like it.
00:50:26.000Yeah, go take a picture with your kid.
00:50:28.000I understand that you think kids are dispensable and Pokemon is absolutely necessary to your life, but you might try to reverse that polarity a little bit.
00:50:35.000It turns out that there are better things to do in life than chase around Pokemon.
00:50:38.000Okay, it's a fun little thing, I understand, but whenever you see these kind of broad obsessions with stupid little things, and the only thing that can get you outside off your butt
00:50:46.000Is to run around chasing a digital character on behalf of a major multinational corporation like Nintendo?
00:50:53.000I would suggest that you, my friend, are a sucker.
00:50:55.000And I would also suggest that you might need to get some new hobbies because, I mean, really.
00:50:59.000It's one thing if I have kids and I'm running around with my kids doing it.
00:51:01.000If I'm a 21 year old guy and I'm single and I'm just running around with my guy friends doing this?
