00:00:00.000So, folks, you know about my close personal relationship with Lena Dunham, the former star of Girls, a show that had three viewers, including her immediate family, but somehow stayed on the air for several years.
00:00:11.000She is the poster girl for leftist idealism.
00:00:14.000She's starry-eyed over Barack Obama, so starry-eyed that she cut a commercial in 2012 comparing voting for Obama to losing her virginity.
00:00:22.000I assume there probably was some similarity.
00:00:25.000She's so vile that she sexually abused her younger sister in her book.
00:00:29.000She described her relationship with her preteen sister thusly, quote, Whatever she wanted to watch on TV if she would just, quote unquote, relax on me, basically anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying.
00:00:48.000I shared a bed with my sister Grace until I was 17 years old.
00:00:52.000Her sticky, muscly little body thrashed beside me every night as I read in.
00:00:56.000Sexton watched reruns of SNL, sometimes even as I slipped my hands into my underwear to figure some stuff out.
00:01:04.000She's so gross that she falsely accused a man of rape.
00:01:07.000She is also, not surprisingly, a giant fan of Planned Parenthood.
00:01:11.000Dunham has created a shirt to sell on behalf of Planned Parenthood.
00:01:14.000It looks something like this, a picture of a shirt.
00:01:17.000It says, Lena Dunham loves Planned Parenthood.
00:01:19.000Planned Parenthood has an entire page devoted to Lena Dunham, like an actual page on their website, with the organization gushing, quote, there's so much to love about Lena Dunham, it's tough to know where to start.
00:01:30.000Well, there's plenty of ground to cover, physically.
00:01:33.000The creator of the hit series Girls is a tireless champion for women.
00:01:36.000We really admire how she uses her platform to advocate for Planned Parenthood.
00:01:40.000Turns out she thinks we're pretty cool, too.
00:01:42.000In a recent Vanity Fair interview, Dunham was asked who her real-life heroes are.
00:01:46.000Her answer, quote, the men and women who work at Planned Parenthood centers across America.
00:01:51.000Lena Dunham even did a Saturday Night Live sketch plugging the abortion mill.
00:01:55.000So now she has revealed her Halloween costume,
00:02:09.000They do child sacrifice right at the altar of abortion.
00:02:12.000Leftists refuse entirely to acknowledge the humanity of children up until the point of birth.
00:02:17.000It's up to women, of course, to decide what sort of life is valuable enough to survive murder.
00:02:21.000Planned Parenthood facilitates that mass murder.
00:02:25.000They kill 300,000 children per year, all in the name of women's health, which is sort of like dehumanizing mental defectives, which was the term they used to use, in the name of German health.
00:02:38.000I actually went to the DNC, the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, and abortion was the single unifying issue for the people who were attending.
00:02:45.000They cheered wildly every single time abortion was mentioned on stage.
00:02:49.000Young men actually wore buttons around reading, I love pro-choice women.
00:02:53.000It was not difficult to imagine why these men would love pro-choice women.
00:02:57.000Lena Dunham is the representative of a new generation of Americans who know better, but just don't care.
00:03:09.000She's willing to sacrifice those children for the greater good of equality between the sexes.
00:03:13.000Men don't have to be pregnant, so women shouldn't have to be pregnant, even if that means killing a baby.
00:03:18.000As she walks around her neighborhood on Halloween, presumably not while dressing her sister as a Hell's Angel sex property, she admitted to doing that too, gang.
00:03:25.000It's worth keeping your children away from her.
00:03:27.000When it comes to kids, born or unborn, Lena Dunham's territory is not a safe space.
00:03:41.000All right, folks, a lot to get to today.
00:03:42.000We will get to the new budget deal that's coming across the wires in just a second, a two-year budget deal.
00:03:48.000We'll also talk a little bit about the upcoming presidential debate that is supposed to happen tomorrow night, and we will be live blogging it over at dailywire.com.
00:03:56.000I want to start today with this story from a place called, what is this, Spring Valley High School in South Carolina.
00:04:02.000So, first of all, point worth noting, they took down the Confederate flag in South Carolina.
00:04:08.000I don't understand why any incident of violence will ever happen again in South Carolina, but clearly, the Confederate flag is still to blame over what we just saw at Spring Valley High School.
00:04:16.000So over at Spring Valley High School, there is this girl who is, you'll see the video in just a second, black girl, who was apparently disruptive in class and talking back to the teacher, and the teacher told her to stop being disruptive.
00:06:10.000If this security officer had been black, or if the student had been white, you never would have heard about any of this.
00:06:14.000Instead, it's trending on Twitter and Facebook.
00:06:17.000So it's worth noting, number one, that there is no evidence of racism in this particular case.
00:06:22.000It's possible for an officer just to be a jackass without him being a racist.
00:06:26.000In fact, you know, I understand Adam Carolla's fond of saying this, and it's true, you know, that if he were pulled over and he were black, he might assume that it were because the officer was a racist, when it just might be that the officer is a jerk.
00:06:38.000And because he's white, he doesn't have to worry about that.
00:06:40.000Well, it's sort of the same situation here, especially because, as I mentioned, the teacher is black.
00:06:45.000You can see in the tape, most of the students at this school
00:06:48.000At least in this classroom, are apparently black, and nobody's getting up to help, and nobody's protesting.
00:06:54.000There's no evidence that anything racial went on here that's not gonna stop the media from turning this into a race-based story, because after all, black girl, white officer, that must mean that this guy is a member of the KKK, without any other evidence.
00:07:07.000That's what it means, because this is the narrative.
00:07:08.000The narrative is always that if there is a black person and a white cop, the white cop must be doing something wrong, not just doing something wrong, but doing it for racial reasons.
00:07:17.000Second point, we've now reached the point in our culture where students can basically do whatever they want.
00:07:24.000And again, none of this is to excuse the excessive force by the officer.
00:07:27.000Students can basically do whatever they want.
00:07:28.000What exactly is the administration supposed to do when a student refuses to get up out of a classroom?
00:07:33.000I don't know how many of these people who are talking in the media have been in a classroom any time in the recent past.
00:07:42.000Teenagers are truly awful human beings.
00:07:45.000And when you have a recalcitrant teenager in the classroom, which, if any of you remember back to high school, they're really doubly awful.
00:07:54.000And when they take over the classroom and decide that nothing will remove them except for physical force, it's very difficult to deal with them.
00:08:00.000All of this could have been forestalled and foreclosed simply by the girl getting out and leaving the classroom after being asked by virtually every member of the administration.
00:08:08.000But we've now reached the point in American life where if you are recalcitrant toward authority, then that's perfectly okay.
00:08:14.000I mean, the fact is that when my dad was going to school, if you behaved like this in the classroom, the teacher could use corporal punishment.
00:08:21.000My dad was actually hit on the hands with rulers when he was a kid, and that was the easy way.
00:08:25.000I mean, I know people who, when they were in Catholic school, they actually had, you know, boards of wood with holes carved into them to make them more aerodynamic, so when they were hit in the butt, it hurt more.
00:08:34.000Right, because they were being hit harder.
00:08:36.000So this idea that, you know, if this is the worst America has to offer, in other words, and this is what we're all going to worry about today, it seems a little bit blown out of proportion to me.
00:08:46.000And I'm more deeply worried about, in terms of the future of black kids in America, I'm more deeply worried about the impact of recalcitrant students on the other kids in the class than I am worried about an officer who manhandled a girl who was being recalcitrant.
00:09:00.000And should the officer be disciplined?
00:09:02.000It looks from the tape like excessive force, sure.
00:09:05.000I just wanted to get that out of the way because this is what's trending right now, and I think it's important to point out the kind of social issues that the left wants to raise every time something like this ever comes up.
00:09:15.000And it really is over-the-top and absurd, even if you think what the officer did.
00:09:21.000I mean, I'm looking at an article right now from a publication called The Root, which is, I believe, a website that is catering largely to African Americans, and this is what they write.
00:10:03.000This is a girl who's being recalcitrant in front of a black teacher, requested for help by a black teacher.
00:10:08.000Again, the officer just had the unlucky fate of being a white guy in this situation, because if this officer is black in this situation, you never hear one word about any of this.
00:10:22.000Paul Ryan apparently is now, he's about to take over as Speaker of the House.
00:10:26.000The vote is supposed to happen tomorrow, and he's been unanimously acclaimed the great new leader.
00:10:30.000Well, today, in a bit of odd timing, the day before Paul Ryan is supposed to take over the Speakership of the House, the House has decided under John Boehner that they're going to sign on to a two-year budget deal.
00:10:43.000with President Obama taking the country beyond the next election cycle before possibility of government shutdown.
00:10:49.000Paul Ryan, who's the incoming Speaker of the House, has basically stayed away from controversy, and here is Paul Ryan explaining that, you know, he's really unhappy with the budget process.
00:10:58.000He doesn't say he's against the budget deal, mind you, but he's unhappy with the budget process.
00:11:01.000Here is Paul Ryan, the new Speaker of the House, or the upcoming Speaker of the House.
00:11:06.000I'm reserving judgment on this agreement because I, quite frankly, haven't seen it yet.
00:11:10.000I want to see what it looks like on paper.
00:11:12.000But about the process, I can say this.
00:11:27.000Okay, so, Paul Ryan says that he's really, really mad about this particular deal.
00:11:39.000He doesn't understand the deal, he hasn't read the deal yet, but he's mad about how the process works.
00:11:43.000This is about as milquetoast a statement as you can make.
00:11:46.000The fact is, when he says we should have been planning about this months ago, it wouldn't have mattered.
00:11:49.000Barack Obama wants a government shutdown.
00:11:51.000The reason Barack Obama wants government shutdowns is because the Republicans are idiots.
00:11:56.000And the way that the Republicans have set up the budget process, they have shown that they are not willing to let the government shut down, and Democrats have shown that they are willing to let the government shut down.
00:12:05.000In politics, this is what's called a game of chicken.
00:12:08.000And if you're going to play a game of chicken, you can't betray to the other side that you're willing to jerk the steering wheel.
00:12:15.000You have two people driving down the road at 100 miles an hour at each other.
00:12:18.000If one guy puts a brick on the accelerator and then sets the steering wheel with the club, and goes out and gets the world-famous club and sticks that on the steering wheel, it's pretty clear he's going to win the game of chicken because he no longer has the ability to actually jerk the wheel out of the way.
00:12:32.000If the person on the other side knows that and has already conveyed that they're willing to jerk the wheel, it's foregone conclusion who's going to win the battle.
00:13:01.000Paul Ryan had to sign off on this deal.
00:13:03.000John Boehner got permission from Paul Ryan beforehand, I am sure, to sign off on this deal.
00:13:08.000And then Paul Ryan goes out there and he talks about how he doesn't like the process so much, and he looks like he's more conservative than Boehner, but he would have done exactly the same thing as Boehner.
00:13:16.000In fact, he did do exactly the same thing as Boehner, if you remember, all the way back to 2013.
00:13:21.000When he and Patty Murray, the senator from Washington, came up with a budget deal.
00:13:25.000It's very frustrating that Republican leadership has basically replaced itself with the same group of folks, but this is a pretty good indicator that Paul Ryan is going to be who John Boehner essentially was.
00:13:39.000Paul Ryan, who's been castigated as an extremist by the left because he wants entitlement reform.
00:13:44.000And by the way, folks on the right who love Paul Ryan and they love that he's pro-entitlement reform, let me just tell you something.
00:13:50.000Republicans will never win an election based on entitlement reform.
00:13:54.000No one wants or cares about entitlement reform.
00:13:57.000We may need it, but that's something that you do after you win.
00:14:00.000Barack Obama did not campaign on Obamacare.
00:14:02.000He campaigned on why Republicans were going to deny condoms to women or some such nonsense.
00:14:06.000And then he pushed Obamacare afterward.
00:14:08.000Republicans are campaigning on entitlement reform, and then they're losing.
00:14:11.000So, in any case, what's amazing is that Paul Ryan has been castigated as an extremist.
00:14:16.000Paul Ryan is a moderate guy when it comes to his approach.
00:14:19.000The real extremists are the folks on the left.
00:14:21.000MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry, she was ripping on Paul Ryan last night, and she was saying that it's not—we should stop saying that Paul Ryan is such a hard worker.
00:14:33.000She actually, in one episode of her show several months back, wore tampon earrings, like earrings made of tampons, to talk about how much women were put upon in the society.
00:14:42.000If they were that put upon, there's not a man alive who wants to see tampon earrings, lady.
00:14:45.000But here is the MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry, who proclaims herself a nerd.
00:14:51.000I'm also a nerd, so if this is what nerddom has come to, then I want out.
00:14:55.000Melissa Harris-Perry discussing Paul Ryan.
00:14:58.000Let's be fair, if there's somebody who is a hard worker when he goes to Washington, it's Paul Ryan.
00:15:04.000Not only works with Republicans, but Democrats.
00:15:06.000You know very well that I work on the immigration issue, trying to get Republicans to support immigration reform.
00:15:11.000Paul Ryan is somebody who has supported immigration reform, has worked with somebody like Luis Gutierrez.
00:15:15.000Luis Gutierrez is very respectful, speaks highly of Paul Ryan.
00:15:18.000This is somebody who's trying to govern.
00:15:21.000Alphonso, I feel you, but I just want to pause on one thing because I don't disagree with you that I actually think Mr. Ryan is a great choice for this role, but I want us to be super careful when we use the language hard worker because I actually keep an image of folks working in cotton fields on my office wall because it is a reminder about what hard work looks like.
00:15:44.000I do, but in the context of relative privilege.
00:15:48.000And I just want to point out that when you talk about work-life balance and being a hard worker, the moms who don't have health care, who are working... I understand that.
00:16:31.000As a married man with a child, and a wife who made the right decision to get married before bearing that child and is now finishing up medical school, it's amazing.
00:16:40.000Yeah, she's at UCLA Medical School, my wife.
00:16:42.000And in her class, there's a girl who took off three or four years between college and medical school, not because she was working in a lab like my wife, but because she got pregnant and she had a baby.
00:16:54.000And I'm glad she didn't abort the baby.
00:16:55.000It's sad that we've come to the point in America where you have to actually say you're happy.
00:16:59.000It's a moral thing when you don't kill your own child, but she didn't abort the kid, and she comes back to medical school, and she is perceived as a heroine.
00:17:07.000She's a heroine because she has come back to medical school in spite of the fact that she has given birth to a child out of wedlock.
00:17:13.000And I remember I was talking with my wife about this once, and I thought to myself, why is it that my wife, who makes good decisions, is privileged, but somebody who makes bad decisions is a hero?
00:17:23.000We've now reached the point in American culture where being a victim is more important than making good decisions.
00:17:28.000And even if you've made yourself into a victim through all of your really crappy life decisions, just by dint of you being a victim, you're now a hero.
00:17:35.000Victimology and heroism are now one and the same.
00:17:39.000If you make good decisions, then we can't reward you.
00:17:41.000I will also note in that particular video that Melissa Harris Perry says that she's a fan of Paul Ryan as the Speaker of the House.
00:17:46.000If Melissa Harris Perry likes something, it's a pretty good indication that you shouldn't.
00:17:51.000And when it comes to the media, you wonder why Republicans continue to lose.
00:17:55.000Paul Ryan, who's again, a very moderate guy when it comes to his approach.
00:18:35.000It needs a dictatorial leader or nothing will ever happen.
00:18:40.000And the Tea Party people understandably don't like that if the person in charge is a moderate and doesn't agree with them politically.
00:18:48.000So Paul Ryan has enough conservative chops that he can sort of try to unify the whole party, but he's going to be spending all his time trying to deal with these Tea Party people.
00:18:57.000What he's probably going to have to do, if in fact he gets in, is stage some kind of fight with them and defeat them.
00:19:04.000Or take away their power or go after them.
00:19:07.000I don't know if he's got the guts to do it.
00:19:08.000I don't know if he has the numbers to do it.
00:19:10.000Are they like ISIS trying to establish a caliphate here?
00:19:36.000On every issue with President Obama, given him his budgets, given him his money, funded executive amnesty, funded Planned Parenthood, they're the extremists.
00:21:04.000Okay, so there's Bernie Sanders, an open socialist, blabbing with the ladies of The View, collective IQ 7, about the future of the country and why Republicans are extremists.
00:21:21.000It's an ever-changing, magical kaleidoscope.
00:21:25.000Of coif, and there's just, I'm fascinated by it.
00:21:29.000I find it much more fascinating than anything said on this idiotic show.
00:21:32.000But when Bernie Sanders is labeling you extreme, this is what's, honestly, this is what's wrong with the country.
00:21:38.000When you wonder why the country pulled to the left, the answer is because the left party in America, there are only two parties, the left party in America pulled incredibly far to the left, and the right party in America moved also slightly to the left, and so the right party is seen as wildly extreme.
00:21:52.000To the right, simply because of that incredible imbalance.
00:21:57.000And until Republicans start to say, and look at people not only like Bernie Sanders, but Hillary Clinton, look at people like Melissa Harris Perry, and say that you are the real extremists, until Republicans are willing to point out
00:22:09.000How extreme the left has become, unless they're willing to actually stand their ground and say, look, when the government shuts down because President Obama wants to get rid of Gitmo so he can bring terrorists to American soil, when the President of the United States is willing to defund the military, which he did this last week, simply because he wants terrorists on American soil, as opposed to across a small piece of, a small strip of ocean on the Cuban island,
00:22:35.000If that's how extreme they are, then we're willing to go to bat against that, no matter what it takes.
00:22:39.000Until Republicans are willing to do that, all of the, we'll work with you in the world, isn't going to help.
00:22:45.000All of the compromise in the world isn't going to help.
00:22:47.000You can't compromise with people who are this extreme.
00:22:50.000At a certain point, the game of chicken actually has to be played.
00:22:54.000And if we continue to pretend that we're the reasonable ones, can't you just see we're the reasonable ones?
00:23:00.000No, no one can see you're the reasonable ones when it just looks like you're caving in to the other guy, especially because when you always lose, it looks like the other guy is reasonable.
00:23:41.000Of Donald Trump, which is actually a pretty interesting development.
00:23:44.000I had sort of predicted it on this show when I said that I thought Carson was picking up steam, and I think that Trump is not as much.
00:23:50.000Trump the other day actually tweeted out that he thought the Benghazi committee was partisan, and I'm wondering which party's nomination Trump is running for.
00:23:56.000At a certain point, he's going to get his lunch eaten by an outsider like Ben Carson, and so Trump has actually started to attack people
00:24:04.000Like Ben Carson, he's also attacking Marco Rubio.
00:24:07.000He's always attacking Jeb Bush, but Trump was bashing Carson in the last couple of days, saying that Carson is not sufficiently conservative.
00:24:14.000The truth is that both of them have holes in their record.
00:24:16.000Here is Donald Trump going after Dr. Ben Carson, the new national poll leader, according to CBS News.
00:24:23.000You know, you look at different things having to do with Ben, and there's a lot of contradiction and a lot of questions.
00:25:59.000And among people who describe themselves as conservative or very conservative, he's actually beating Trump by 30 points.
00:26:04.000So I've said for a long time that the way for somebody to defeat Trump was to co-opt his positions and to appear to be significantly more conservative than Trump, and clearly Ben Carson is doing that.
00:26:16.000But we do have to give Donald Trump credit.
00:26:19.000Donald Trump has knocked out the only real threat from the establishment in the race, and that, of course, is Jeb Bush.
00:26:24.000Marco Rubio is the up-and-comer, but Jeb Bush is getting angrier and angrier.
00:26:27.000He's just getting more and more upset.
00:26:29.000Jeb Bush, yesterday, we played a clip of him
00:26:31.000Talking about how basically he didn't need this crap anymore.
00:26:33.000He can't walk over to Jeb Bush anymore.
00:27:36.000This is the irony edition of the Ben Shapiro show.
00:27:39.000So you've got Donald Trump talking about inconsistency and you've got Jeb Bush talking about humility.
00:27:43.000If Jeb Bush were a humble guy, Jeb Bush would not be running for president.
00:27:46.000The only reason that we've ever heard of Jeb Bush is because, of course, his last name is Bush.
00:27:50.000I do believe that Jeb Bush will be out of the race in pretty short order.
00:27:54.000You want to hear something scary, folks.
00:27:56.000So I was in a room recently with a bunch of major talk show hosts, and one of these talk show hosts, who's very tied in to the Republican establishment, was talking about this race.
00:28:05.000And he was saying that if Donald Trump starts to look like the nominee, if there's a lot of primaries that get divided, if there's no consensus going into the convention about who's going to be the nominee, that one of the candidates from our past will come back from the dead and run, Mitt Romney.
00:28:22.000Seriously, that the establishment will draft Mitt Romney, and there'll be a drafted Romney candidacy.
00:28:27.000And this is what's so amazing about the establishment.
00:28:28.000There was a poll yesterday saying that the Tea Party is basically dead, that the Tea Party is down to 17% of Americans identifying as Tea Party.
00:28:35.000The truth is they're not dead, they're just lurking.
00:28:37.000All the Tea Partiers stopped going out to the Tea Parties, and they went into the Carson campaign, and they went into the Trump campaign, and they went into the Ted Cruz campaign, and now they're kind of lurking around the edges.
00:28:47.000But the establishment wants to declare them dead,
00:28:51.000And one of the reasons that the establishment has really defeated the Tea Party in large measure is every time the Tea Party hands the establishment a victory, the establishment turns around and slaps the Tea Party as hard as it possibly can.
00:29:03.000Paul Ryan, as Speaker of the House, is indeed one aspect of that.
00:29:07.000Bringing back Mitt Romney after he said last week that Obamacare has brought healthcare to millions of people and praised his own invention of Romneycare,
00:29:16.000It would just be the ultimate slap in the face to the Tea Party.
00:29:19.000These divisions are not going away inside the party anytime soon.
00:29:21.000The truth is that for the establishment, I think it's worth noting, that the Tea Party has been loyal enough to show up at the polls for the establishment.
00:29:28.000The establishment has not been loyal enough to show up at the polls for the Tea Party.
00:29:32.000When you have a Tea Party candidate like Ed Gillespie in Virginia, the establishment goes completely AWOL.
00:29:37.000When you have a candidate like Todd Akin, who is a disastrous candidate, for sure, but when Todd Akin gets in trouble, the establishment immediately cuts support because they're afraid of the damage that's going to be done to other Republicans, even though it is perfectly obvious that the Democrats are going to slander all the Republicans with the Todd Akin brush anyway.
00:29:56.000When Richard Murdoch over in Indiana makes a boo-boo on abortion, the left does exactly the same thing, but the right runs away from Richard Murdoch, particularly the establishment folks.
00:30:04.000I don't trust the establishment to win victories.
00:30:07.000And if they're going to bring back Mitt Romney, or if they're going to tell me that Marco Rubio is the only guy who can win, I just don't believe them.
00:30:30.000Marco Rubio's not going to carry a majority of Hispanics, he's not going to carry a large plurality of Hispanics, and he's certainly not going to bring all of the blue-collar white voters out to vote.
00:30:38.000So, before you start listening to the Republican establishment, you can hear the frustration from Jeb.
00:30:43.000This is the frustration of the elite bureaucrat.
00:30:45.000The frustration of the elite bureaucrat is, why does everyone support everybody else without talking to the experts like me?
00:30:51.000Well, buddy, it just might be you're not such an expert.
00:30:54.000And after a hundred years of consistent leftward movement in the country, with only the mild pause of Ronald Reagan in between, at a certain point you have to change your strategy.
00:31:03.000The experts don't know what they're talking about.
00:31:08.000And that means that if the grassroots like somebody, maybe we ought to take that a little bit more seriously than just brushing it off as hubris.
