Pat Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, who was murdered in the Benghazi terror attack of September 11th 2012, blasted Hillary Clinton for her comments about the attack. The media went into a frenzy over it, and Chris Matthews called it a "gross accusation" that ruined the entire evening. These are the same people who cheered wildly when the Democrats trotted out the Jersey Girls' Widows of 9/11 during the 2004 convention, you remember. These are also people who will cheer wildly when Democrats unveil their latest round of absurd pseudo-victims in order to target cops at the DNC in Philadelphia next week. Here are just some of the speakers slated for the DNC: Sabrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin's mother, Gwen Carr, Erica Garner, Leslie McSpadden, and Cleopatra Pendleton Calley. All of these women are deemed "Mothers of the Movement," although what the movement is remains unclear. There's no evidence to back any of them up. Ben Shapiro explains why they should be invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on July 25th, and why Hillary Clinton should not even be invited at all. Ben Shapiro: The problem with the criminal justice system or the cops isn't the problem, it's that the cops are not the problem. It's that they're just not good enough, and that's what we should all be focusing on, not the other way around. And that's why we need a new sponsor, Harry s Razors. If you haven't tried Harry's Razors, I hate shaving. - it's one of those things you thought you were cool, but you have to go to the Razors store to unlock your razors because you were a kid when you were kid and now you have some kind of unlocker, because it's really cool, because you really have to unlock the doors to unlock them. It's a kind of thing you were really cool. You have to be a kid, right? And if you haven t tried shaving, I bet you know a good one, I'm really cool because you have a good razor you really do. . - Ben Shapiro (Sorry if you ve tried shaving too much, but it's a lot of things you think you really like shaving and you really hate shaving a lot, I don't know a person who's really good, but I'm trying to be cool, too.
00:00:00.000So on Monday night, the media went totally apoplectic over Pat Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, who was murdered in the Benghazi terror attack of September 11th, 2012.
00:00:08.000Smith blasted former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, saying, quote, Then Pat Smith concluded,
00:00:27.000So the media lost what was left of its collective mind.
00:00:30.000Chris Matthews, the man who presented the show, he said this was a gross accusation that ruined the night.
00:00:36.000Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post said the accusation was extraordinary.
00:00:39.000Rachel Maddow said Smith was, quote, playing with a very specific kind of fire that is almost impossible for me to watch, I have to say.
00:00:46.000These are the same people who cheered wildly when the Democrats trotted out the Jersey Girls' Widows of 9-11 during the 2004 convention, you remember.
00:00:53.000These are also the same people who will cheer wildly when the Democrats unveil their latest round of absurd pseudo-victims in order to target cops at the DNC in Philadelphia.
00:01:02.000Here are just some of the speakers slated for the DNC.
00:01:14.000First, the guy who shot him, George Zimmerman, was not white.
00:01:16.000Second, George Zimmerman was not a cop.
00:01:18.000Third, Trayvon Martin was, by all available evidence, sitting on top of George Zimmerman's prone body and slamming his head into the concrete when Zimmerman shot him.
00:01:26.000Zimmerman was not only acquitted of a murder charge, the Department of Justice couldn't find anything to charge him with either.
00:01:33.000Leslie McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown.
00:01:35.000Michael Brown, you may remember, was a thug whose strong arm robbed a convenience store, then punched Officer Darren Wilson, tried to grab his gun and shoot him, and finally tried to charge the officer before being shot himself.
00:01:45.000That's true according to witness testimony.
00:01:47.000Even Holder's DOJ could not find something wrong with the shooting.
00:01:50.000Which didn't stop the left from manufacturing from whole cloth a narrative of evil white police officers shooting black men, surrendering by shouting, hands up, don't shoot.
00:01:59.000Or how about Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner?
00:02:01.000Eric Garner, you may remember, was not murdered by the cops.
00:02:05.000He was placed in a submission hold by the cops.
00:02:07.000He then died of a heart attack because he was dramatically overweight.
00:02:10.000He had a long history of health issues ranging from diabetes to sleep apnea to asthma that was so bad he actually had to quit a city job.
00:02:17.000Garner certainly shouldn't have died over selling Lucy's loose cigarettes, but blaming his death on cop racism is asinine.
00:02:23.000How about Maria Hamilton, mother of Dontre Hamilton?
00:02:26.000You haven't heard this name, it's not really a household name, because Hamilton grabbed an officer's baton and hit him in the neck with it before the officer shot him.
00:02:32.000The officer was fired because Hamilton was a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic.
00:03:41.000Next time Democrats, leftists, complain about Pat Smith, everyone should remind them she's telling the truth.
00:03:46.000Her son died, Hillary did nothing to stop it, and then Hillary lied about it.
00:03:50.000But Democrats drag out grieving mothers to push nasty smears about the cops, the criminal justice system, and gun control without any evidence at all.
00:04:06.000First off, I just want to thank our new sponsor.
00:04:08.000We have a new sponsor, Harry's Razors.
00:04:10.000So if you haven't tried Harry's Razors, I'm a person, I hate shaving.
00:04:13.000It's one of those things you thought was really cool when you were a kid, and now it turns out it's really just a drag.
00:04:17.000You have to go to the store and you have to have the attendant, you know, kind of unlock the razors for you because for some reason they think you're gonna either steal the razors or knife yourself or something.
00:04:25.000Harry's Razors sends you the razors directly to your door, and they send it to you cheaper and faster than you would get it from a convenience store.
00:04:33.000I've shaved with Harry's this morning.
00:05:03.000And if you're a fan of The Ben Shapiro Show and you not only want to help support Harry's, you want to support The Ben Shapiro Show, you'll shop at Harry's.
00:05:09.000If you go to harrys.com, that's H-A-R-R-Y-S.com, and then use promo code SHAPIRO, then you get $5 off your initial order.
00:05:41.000I really do want to get to, first of all, this is why you need to subscribe to Daily Wire, folks, because in just a few minutes, we're going to be bringing on Heather McDonald of the Manhattan Institute, author of the new book, The War on Cops, which I think is the most important book of the year.
00:05:52.000We'll be talking with her in a little while.
00:05:54.000We will also be going through Hillary Clinton's NAACP speech, which is just awful.
00:05:59.000It's just another example of the left pandering on the basis of race.
00:06:21.000And 20% of the population wants to commit suicide.
00:06:24.000So the point here is that Donald Trump needs a bit of a bump from this convention.
00:06:28.000In order to get a bit of a bump from this convention, he should come out, he should be unifying, he should let people have their say and yell at him, and then he should be above the fray, right?
00:06:36.000He should just—that's how he should play it.
00:06:46.000If all he does is go out there and attacks Hillary Clinton, and if he does just talk about the news cycle and gets his surrogates to do the same, puts a lot of pressure on folks like me to vote for him just to stop Hillary because, indeed, she is evil.
00:06:57.000So, that's what he should be doing, right?
00:07:11.000And he starts off, before the thing even starts, by ripping John Kasich, who's the governor of Ohio.
00:07:15.000Now, as you know, I am no John Kasich fan.
00:07:18.000Every single time John Kasich talked in any debate this year, all 97 debates this year, I would tweet in all capital letters, oh god no, please god not John Kasich.
00:07:30.000If you're gonna try and unify the party, you don't go out there and rip on the sitting governor of the state in which the convention is taking place, right?
00:09:19.000Right, so I mean, when you talk about the future of the Republican Party, I mean, first, why don't you start by registering for the party you're supposedly the face of.
00:09:46.000OK, so that's what starts the convention.
00:09:47.000The next thing that happens is there's chaos on the convention floor.
00:09:50.000So there are a bunch of people who say, OK, we want to unbind the delegates.
00:09:53.000Remember that failed in committee last, in the last week, over the weekend, basically.
00:09:59.000Now they go to the floor of the convention and people want a voice vote.
00:10:04.000They want a roll call voice vote on whether Donald Trump should be elected to the nomination based on the delegates being bound to their primaries, basically.
00:10:15.000And he's going to win this vote, by the way.
00:10:17.000The delegates are going to vote to bind themselves because they don't want to be held accountable for throwing Trump overboard at the last minute.
00:10:25.000Excuse me, they go out there and they want a roll call vote, and instead, the chair gets up, this guy gets up, and he starts banging his gavel and he says, we're gonna have a voice vote.
00:10:34.000Now a voice vote just means whoever shouts the loudest, right?
00:10:37.000We're just gonna take like a consensus in the room.
00:10:39.000Here's what the voice vote looked like.
00:10:41.000Without objection, the previous question is ordered.
00:10:44.000The question is on adoption of the resolution.
00:11:26.000Because all the people who wanted the roll call vote, they were going to lose anyway, right?
00:11:29.000They were going to lose the roll call vote.
00:11:30.000But the idea was, let's at least get the delegates on record supporting Donald Trump.
00:11:34.000What happened here is that the convention knew it's so embarrassing for some of these people to support Donald Trump out loud, they wanted to prevent the roll call vote, so they just had the voice vote, and then they said the voice vote was good enough, even though it wasn't.
00:11:46.000I was at the DNC, the Democratic National Convention in 2012.
00:11:49.000They did the same thing when they tried to take Jerusalem out of the Democratic platform.
00:12:08.000So Ken Cuccinelli, who ran for, I think he was governor of Virginia, very narrowly lost to Terry McAuliffe, he was one of the delegates, and he just, he literally takes his credentials and he throws them on the ground.
00:12:20.000Well, they quashed the Louis Philippe.
00:15:04.000The thing about Trump's taste is that, yeah, it's big, but it's also the cheesiest taste in the world.
00:15:08.000I mean, like, everything he does is super cheesy, but again, none of that is a big deal.
00:15:11.000Here's the thing, none of these things are a particularly huge deal.
00:15:14.000Just in aggregate, they start to become distractions, right?
00:15:17.000They become a little bit distracting in aggregate.
00:15:20.000So, you know, Donald Trump... So then Melania gets up.
00:15:23.000And this has been the headline of the thing.
00:15:25.000The headline of the thing has been that Melania spoke.
00:15:28.000And Melania, who, again, it's weird to have your third wife speak for you at a convention after she marries you when she's 28 and you're 52, and there's all sorts of weird issues where she's a trophy wife, and she's going on Howard Stern talking about having sex with you while you're still married to somebody else.
00:16:45.000Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values and to pass them on to the next generation.
00:16:53.000And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow.
00:16:59.000Because we want our children and all children in this nation
00:17:05.000Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them.
00:17:16.000That the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
00:18:00.000The first is what I've been saying, which is that when you commit this number of unforced errors, at a certain point it's a distraction from the news cycle.
00:18:08.000If this were a focused campaign, Donald—forget about replacing Trump.
00:18:11.000Even with Trump, if this were a focused campaign, Trump would be up five to ten points right now because Hillary is so unpalatable.
00:18:18.000If you told me that at this point in the race, Hillary would be running at 40%, I'd say, well, then the Republican has to be up, right?
00:18:23.000I mean, there are only so many people in the United States.
00:18:25.000There are only so many percentage points that you can hand out.
00:18:40.000Donald Trump has sued a campaign staffer for $10 million, leaked his vice presidential pick, and attempted to walk it back, then tweeted it out, created a bizarre Trump-Pence logo that looked like the letters were engaging in sexual congress, had to walk back, a prospective convention speaker, including Tim Tebow, attacked Kasich, as you saw, unleashed his minions to shut down a roll call vote, booked Scott Baio and Antonio Sabato Jr.
00:19:00.000to speak, and by the way, after Sabato spoke, he then went on ABC News and called Obama a Muslim, called in live to Fox News, we'll get to this in a second,
00:19:09.000So Pat Smith was giving this beautiful speech about her son, and Trump calls in to Fox News and kicks her off the air because he's calling in to Fox News.
00:19:18.000He entered the stage, obviously, like a character from WWE or Beyonce, sends his wife on stage with a speech plagiarized from Michelle, and deployed his campaign team to cover for the plagiarism.
00:19:27.000In other words, if you are rooting for Trump, if you are rooting for Trump, you have to root for him to do better than this.
00:19:34.000You have to root for him to do better.
00:19:35.000I don't think that's too much to ask, that he does better than this.
00:19:37.000And you have to root for his campaign to stop being idiotic.
00:19:40.000So, Chris Christie responds to the Melania plagiarism charges.
00:19:44.000And Chris Christie's the saddest man in Cleveland.
00:19:46.000I mean, Chris Christie legitimately just sits there on like a small folding chair, straining the... He's the second saddest object in the arena after the folding chair upon which he sits.
00:19:55.000And Chris Christie, he just brushes this off, right?
00:20:10.000But the worst, listen, Matt, the worst day of a convention is the first day, because everyone's building up to it, and everybody gets breathless, both the delegates and the media, about something to cover and a controversy to talk about.
00:20:22.000I think after tonight, we won't be talking about this.
00:20:24.000We'll move on to whatever comes up tonight.
00:20:27.000Yeah, and whatever comes up tonight will be in it.
00:22:02.000I think Mrs. Trump's a very smart, articulate woman.
00:22:05.000Her thoughts are her own thoughts, and I think if it was a mistake, it was at the staff level, and staff should be held accountable.
00:22:14.000Coming from Corey Lewandowski, the man who wasn't fired for months after grabbing a reporter by the arm and yanking her backwards, and then was finally fired quietly but is still being paid by the Trump campaign.
00:22:23.000In other words, all of this is bizarre.
00:22:25.000But just for a final laugh, and this isn't at Melania's expense, she didn't write this speech, but this is going around the internet and it is funny, and that is Melania accidentally Rickrolled the audience.
00:22:34.000And I've pointed out, by the way, that Trump has done this before, that Trump uses this line a lot, and so it's not Melania's fault, obviously.
00:22:40.000You sort of feel bad for her, but here's Melania Trump rickrolling the audience.
00:23:57.000We know the risk you're taking, and we say thank you to every police officer and law enforcement agent who's out tonight protecting us, black, white, Latino, of every race, every color, every creed, every sexual orientation.
00:24:19.000When they come to save your life, they don't ask if you are black or white, they just come to save you!
00:24:32.000We also, we also reach out, we reach out our arms with understanding and compassion to those who have lost loved ones.
00:24:47.000Because of police shootings, some justified, some unjustified.
00:24:55.000Those that are unjustified must be punished.
00:24:59.000Those that are justified, we must apologize to.
00:26:50.000If you want to win, you know, I'm not even a Trump backer, but if you want to win, if you think it matters that Donald Trump beats Hillary Clinton, you should be rooting for Donald Trump to stop making these kinds of mistakes, because it's just foolish.
00:27:11.000We lost four brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country they chose to serve, and the American people lost the truth.
00:27:23.000For all of this loss, for all of this grief, for all of the cynicism the tragedy in Benghazi has brought upon America, I blame Hillary Clinton!
00:27:50.000I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son.
00:28:32.000Look, we know how busy you are tonight, and we can't thank you enough for taking the time to talk to millions of people watching you right now.
00:28:38.000And we're going to take a quick break, and then we'll come back to the convention floor as the Factor continues recovering the Republican convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
00:28:46.000In other words, he calls into O'Reilly Factor at the same time Pat Smith is speaking, taking viewers away from one to the other.
00:29:00.000She also writes for City Journal, and she's the author of a fantastic new book called The War on Cops, the most important book of the year.
00:29:06.000I said this months ago when I first saw it come into my mailbox, long before it was released, so I was ahead of the curve on this one.
00:29:10.000Heather, thanks so much for joining us.
00:29:15.000So, I want to start off by asking you, did you see any of Hillary Clinton's speech at the NAACP yesterday, or read any of her speech at the NAACP yesterday?
00:29:26.000Yeah, to my unhappiness, I did read it and it's absolutely appalling and it's a dangerous portent for the country.
00:29:31.000You know, when you say it's dangerous, how much of the current anti-cop violence do you attribute to rhetoric of people like President Obama and Hillary Clinton and Black Lives Matter?
00:29:40.000And how much do you just feel that sort of anti-cop sentiment has grown?
00:29:44.000There's this debate going on now between the level of violence and the level of rhetoric.
00:29:51.000Absolutely, there's no difference whatsoever.
00:29:53.000The two things you mentioned are both the same thing.
00:29:59.000The assassinations in Dallas and Baton Rouge are just more extreme examples of what cops are experiencing in inner city areas across the country on a daily basis.
00:30:09.000A Chicago officer told me about six weeks ago when I was out in Chicago to look at the amazing
00:30:32.000And when you have people being told relentlessly by President Obama, by Hillary Clinton, by the media, by the activists that racist cops are on a homicidal vendetta against blacks, we should not be surprised when people take up arms against what is alleged to be
00:30:56.000Heather, I want to talk a little bit about sort of the facts of policing, and then I want to talk about the rhetoric, because it seems like some of the Democratic rhetoric, some of the left rhetoric, is now seeping into the right.
00:31:05.000You have people like Marco Rubio and Newt Gingrich suggesting that white people just can't understand the black experience with regard to cops.
00:31:12.000You have, you know, Donald Trump even said something similar on the air last week.
00:31:16.000Let's talk a little bit about the facts, and then we'll get to why this seems to be becoming such a popular issue and why it's politically palatable.
00:31:23.000So there's a study that came out last week, you and I have been corresponding on this, this new study from this professor at Harvard University who finds that the police shootings are actually biased against whites, that whites are 20% more likely to be shot than blacks, but he also makes the case that low-level uses of force are more likely to happen to black people, and then he suggests this is why blacks hate the cops, is because of low-level uses of force being used against innocent black people.
00:31:49.000Well, first of all, let's note that he's changing the subject, and so is all the media.
00:31:53.000They have quickly suppressed his finding that blacks are actually 24% less likely to be shot by the police than whites, and are moving on to the second part of his study, which is that allegedly low-level uses of force are higher against blacks.
00:32:09.000What he completely, I think, does not take into account enough is levels of resistance.
00:32:17.000Stop question and frisk forms that police in New York City fill out when they make a pedestrian stop.
00:32:24.000There is no way that those forms can account in sufficient detail to be able to make judgments about the level of resistance that blacks and whites offer.
00:32:35.000And again, when blacks are getting the message every day that they are oppressed by racist cops,
00:32:44.000It's not surprising that they are resisting arrest more, and that's certainly what I'm hearing from officers across the country who say, you know, I used to be able to put handcuffs on somebody without being fought or surrounded by hostile, jeering crowds.
00:33:03.000Okay, so one of the things that the Republicans have done is the new Republican platform includes a nod to so-called criminal justice reform.
00:33:09.000This is what I was mentioning before, this kind of crossing of the aisle with regard to the idea that the criminal justice system is biased or racist or incredibly oppressive.
00:33:18.000What do you make of the call for criminal justice reform?
00:33:21.000The left is race-baiting for political gain.
00:33:23.000But why is the right starting to embrace the notion of criminal justice reform as though there's some sort of mass incarceration of innocents that's going on all over the country?
00:33:32.000Well, first, Ben, if I can just rebut the premise on which it's based before we get to the deep motives behind it.
00:33:39.000It is simply not the case that the over-representation of blacks in prison is due to criminal justice racism.
00:33:45.000And let's also be clear that the whole push for criminal justice so-called reform
00:33:50.000is due to one fact only, the over-representation of blacks in prison.
00:33:54.000If that were not the case, nobody would be caring at all.
00:34:00.000And criminologists have spent decades trying to prove that that over-representation of blacks in prison is due to bias on the part of officers, prosecutors, or judges, and they always come up short.
00:34:13.000The most liberal of criminologists, we can even say left-wing, have been forced to conclude that the
00:34:20.000Presence of blacks is due, unfortunately, to their very high rates of violent crime.
00:34:26.000Blacks, for instance, commit homicide at eight times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined.
00:34:32.000And if you take Hispanics out of that equation, you get a homicide differential of about 11 to 12 times.
00:34:44.000Criminal offenders and felons given by victims.
00:34:48.000So it's not as if police are somehow ignoring all those white drive-by shootings in favor of blacks.
00:34:56.000They are going where the victims and witnesses to crime are telling them crime is happening.
00:35:01.000And again, making arrests congruent with who is being victimized and who the perpetrators are.
00:35:08.000As to why this is happening, I just think that the narrative is taken
00:35:13.000on such power and Republicans simply don't have the guts to stand up and have this difficult conversation.
00:35:22.000We've been talking about phantom police racism for the last 20 years, Ben, in order not to talk about a far more difficult and uncomfortable truth, which is black crime.
00:35:32.000And Republicans are no more willing to go there, it turns out, than Democrats.
00:35:37.000So moving forward, do you see any hope for this situation at all?
00:35:40.000Because the way it looks to me is it looks like if I'm number one, I think it's gonna be very difficult to recruit any cops at all in this environment.
00:35:46.000Second of all, if you're a cop, why not just pull out of the cities of the areas that are most high crime and basically you end up
00:36:18.000We are seeing a slow motion Rodney King riot situation every day in inner cities, what I've called the Ferguson effect, which is the twin phenomenon of officers backing off of proactive policing in inner city areas and the resulting rise in crime.
00:36:33.000Already last year, in the 56 largest cities, we saw a 17% homicide increase, 17.
00:36:54.000The assassinations are going to make it worse, but the rhetoric is what's really driving this.
00:36:59.000And as you say, recruiting has basically come to a dead halt.
00:37:03.000Why would anybody want to be a police officer today when the first day you step into the job, it's assumed that you're a racist, and you're surrounded by people interfering with your lawful authority?
00:37:15.000Well, the book is called The War on Cops, and you definitely should go buy it.
00:37:17.000It's a national bestseller, obviously.
00:37:33.000Okay, so with that said, and with that background, Hillary Clinton spoke at the NAACP yesterday.
00:37:39.000And the reason I saved this for the end of the show is, number one, because I wanted to interview Heather first, but second of all, because the fact is that Heather McDonald's points are completely ignored.
00:37:50.000So as the President has said, indeed as he exemplifies, we've come a long way, but you know
00:38:19.000And I know that we have so much further to go.
00:38:27.000We were cruelly reminded of that with the recent deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, two more black men killed in police incidents this time in Louisiana and Minnesota,
00:38:43.000Okay, the fact that she's lumping together, again, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile is disgusting.
00:38:48.000She's lumping them together with the cop shootings.
00:39:47.000So, Hillary Clinton speaks at the NAACP and first she starts off by once again mirroring this idiocy that Philando Castile and Alton Sterling are basically the same as these cops being killed.
00:40:52.000No time in this speech does she talk about single motherhood and how it destroys inner-city communities because there are no fathers to keep kids in line.
00:40:59.000And no point does she discuss the gang culture that has destroyed inner-city communities all over the United States.
00:41:04.000And no point does she discuss the nasty feelings that so many black Americans have about the cops that are not driven by Jim Crow, because we're talking about kids who are younger than I am by 10 years, right?
00:41:13.000When you're talking about the high crime population, you're talking about generally young males of all races between the ages of 17 and 25.
00:41:21.000In the black community, those people are not coming from Jim Crow America.
00:42:10.000I mean, she would go on to talk about pushing more government spending and backing bad loans.
00:42:14.000I think this is clip 9 or clip 21 for us.
00:42:18.000This is where she talked about how the real solution here is that we need to give cheaper loans subsidized by the government to black folks.
00:42:25.000That's why my plan includes steps to help more African-American families buy a home, which has always been one of the surest ways to build wealth and security for a family.
00:42:39.000Okay, so she wants to go back to the era of subsidized home loans.
00:42:43.000I seem to remember that ended in a massive economic collapse, when it turned out that if you give subsidized home loans to people who can't afford them, and then they go bankrupt, then the money's just gone.
00:42:52.000Right, but she's preaching this out there as though there's some systemic racism that's going to be cured by bad loans, and then she gets to the truly galling part.
00:42:59.000The truly galling part comes at the end of the speech, so...
00:43:01.000She starts lecturing white Americans on what we can do better.
00:43:05.000Which is just... She's standing in front of a black audience lecturing white people, which is just... That is the definition of pandering.
00:43:36.000Please don't let hate infect your heart.
00:43:42.000I'm working in these streets, so any protesters, officers, friends, family, or whoever, if you see me, Montrell said, and need a hug or want to say a prayer, I got you.
00:44:06.000What she's actually talking about there, she did another section where she talked about white privilege, which we'll play in one second because it's truly galling, but this is even more galling.
00:44:13.000This is where she's talking about Montrell Jackson, who's one of the cops who was just murdered in Baton Rouge, inciting Montrell Jackson to talk about how he would support her agenda.
00:44:22.000Montrell Jackson was a cop who was posting about why people have bad perceptions of the police and should stop it.
00:44:28.000And there she is, using his memory as a prop to club cops,
00:45:33.000So, number one, as I've said about white privilege, white privilege is crap.
00:45:38.000The fact is, privilege is what exists in law.
00:45:41.000We're all born with certain privileges, of course, as I've said before.
00:45:43.000Some of us are born poor, some are born rich.
00:45:45.000Some of us are born in certain circumstances that are less beneficial than other circumstances.
00:45:48.000I was born into a solid two-parent family.
00:45:51.000I would like everyone to have a solid two-parent family.
00:45:53.000Heterosexual family, preferably, because people need a father and a mother.
00:45:59.000But we're all born in different circumstances.
00:46:00.000To suggest there's a systemic white privilege that means that cops shoot black people for no reason is not statistically true, but she pushes that out there and then suggests that it's true, and it really is just disgusting.
00:46:12.000And she earns points from the left for apologizing, basically, on behalf of white people, but she doesn't get to apologize on behalf of anybody but herself.
00:46:20.000You don't get to do that in this life.
00:46:21.000You don't get to apologize for anything except for the things you actually did.
00:46:25.000And last I checked, I didn't shoot a black guy, I didn't mistreat a black guy, I didn't do anything wrong to a black person, so I'm not going to apologize for doing things that I didn't do.
00:46:32.000And in fact, I'll call out white people who do things that are bad to black people, and I'll call out black people who do things that are bad to white people.
00:46:54.000The character that's the most memorable, though, is Tim Roth.
00:46:57.000Tim Roth plays this kind of effeminate, horrifying dandy who happens to be an absolute sociopath.
00:47:04.000And this is a scene where Jessica Lange is married to Liam Neeson in this film.
00:47:10.000And this kind of dandy shows up at her house, and they're burning the village because Rob Roy has started a rebellion against the local governor.
00:47:18.000And here's just a piece of that scene.
00:47:55.000In the whole movie he's just super effeminate and there's a sword fight.
00:47:58.000This has one of the best sword fights in all of the movies.
00:48:01.000The concluding sword fight is just fantastic because it's Tim Roth fighting with basically a rapier and Liam Neeson fighting with a broadsword.
00:48:10.000It's very gritty but it's a very good movie.
00:48:13.000Alright, time for some things that I hate.
00:48:14.000So the media are terrible, as we already know.
00:48:17.000After Pat Smith gave this speech about how Hillary Clinton lied to her and didn't do anything to defend her son in Benghazi, the media lost its poop.
00:48:43.000It's an amazing story about a guy who survived and at one point really was generous to saving the lives of some people potentially on the other side and it ended up causing the danger he faced.
00:48:54.000And of course, you know, Bob Dole, he was shot and really maimed for life, if you really understand his injuries, trying to save the life of someone else on the battlefield in Monte Cassino.
00:49:05.000I mean, these are true, wonderful stories, and then to pile onto that this gross accusation that somehow Hillary Clinton had anything to do
00:49:15.000With the death of Chris Stevens, Ambassador, she had nothing to do with it.
00:49:19.000Even if all the arguments about the PR afterwards, as Gene pointed out, are true.
00:49:24.000Worst case scenario, she didn't give a straight story afterwards.
00:49:27.000That had nothing to do with the death of...
00:49:31.000I don't understand why the Republicans would choose to put this on primetime television when they have such wonderful stories of American heroism to speak to the American people.
00:50:49.000Also, I'm not going to take lectures on what's appropriate to show on television from the same people who thought it was wonderful when they brought out the Jersey Girls in 2004 to suggest that George W. Bush was responsible for 9-11.
00:51:35.000You add to that the passion that comes with political debate, and there are people who are truly afraid that things could boil over here in Cleveland.
00:51:44.000Would you be willing to make a pledge to speak to everyone involved in this convention and say, please tone down the rhetoric?
00:51:51.000So can you say to the people who are going to take to that podium this week, no personal attacks, no vitriol, keep it civil?
00:51:59.000Okay, have you heard him make a similar plea to Hillary Clinton?
00:52:03.000The woman who goes on national TV and says Republicans are her enemies?
00:52:06.000And that Donald Trump is basically—she said yesterday he's the worst man ever to run for president, which is just historically ignorant.
00:52:13.000I mean, there was a guy named John W. Davis in 1924 who ran on the platform against anti-lynching legislation.
00:52:21.000But, you know, this is how the media acts, and this is why it's so important.
00:52:24.000You don't have to play into their game, and this is why I really wish that Donald Trump would at least provide an alternative by doing the right thing.
00:52:31.000We'll see how this convention unfolds.
