Trump says Russia hacked Hillary Clinton's 30,000 deleted emails, and the media goes into a frenzy. But it's not Trump's fault. It's Hillary's fault that her secrets were stolen by the Russians, not Donald Trump's. Ben Shapiro argues that Hillary Clinton is the real threat to U.S. national security, and it's her fault that Putin may have her emails, not Trump s. He also explains why Bernie Sanders supporters are actually walking out of the convention hall and caving in to the rage of the revolutionaries, and why they're not going to cave in to Hillary Clinton, they're just going to walk out in the face of the revolution. Ben Shapiro's full analysis of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, where Bernie Sanders was booed, jeered, and jeered at, and booed back by the thousands of Sanders supporters who flocked to the streets to protest against Hillary Clinton and her campaign. He explains why this is a good thing, and how she's actually a threat to our national security. Plus, he explains why Trump's comments about Putin are actually a big deal and why the media should be worried about Hillary s emails being stolen from a private server, not about them being stolen by a foreign power, not by Donald Trump.

00:00:00.000 Wednesday morning, Donald Trump announced at a press conference that he hoped that Vladimir Putin, a man, he said, called President Obama the N-word.
00:00:07.000 Do you know what the N-word is?
00:00:09.000 Hillary's 30,000 deleted emails.
00:00:11.000 Looking directly into camera, Trump said, It would be very interesting to see.
00:00:15.000 I will tell you this, Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.
00:00:21.000 Trump added, I wish I had that power.
00:00:23.000 By the way, they hacked.
00:00:24.000 They hacked.
00:00:25.000 OK?
00:00:26.000 A few minutes later, Trump said he wasn't sure Russia had hacked the DNC.
00:00:29.000 The media went crazy.
00:00:31.000 How dare Trump say such things?
00:00:33.000 How dare he suggest he wants America's enemies to have access to America's national security secrets?
00:00:38.000 That's insane!
00:00:38.000 It's self-obsessed!
00:00:41.000 Guys, Hillary Clinton deliberately built a private server knowing it was vulnerable to hack. 1.00
00:00:46.000 The Clinton Foundation took cash from Russian-involved sources at the Russian Atomic Energy Agency, Rosatom, took over a company mining uranium in the United States with the approval of Hillary's State Department. 0.95
00:00:58.000 Yeah, Trump's dumb to say he wants America's national security secrets disseminated among our enemies, but I mean, it's Trump.
00:01:03.000 It's Hillary's fault this is even a topic. 0.96
00:01:05.000 She exposed the secrets. 0.88
00:01:07.000 She did so on purpose.
00:01:08.000 The media's attempt to spin this one is a big boo-boo by Trump, neglects the fact it wouldn't be an issue at all if not for Hillary's corruption and incompetence. 0.99
00:01:15.000 More to the point,
00:01:16.000 Democrats constantly attempt to get foreign powers to intervene on their behalf in elections.
00:01:20.000 In 1984, Teddy Kennedy actually asked the Soviet Union for their help in beating Ronald Reagan in the presidential election.
00:01:27.000 According to Forbes magazine, quote, Kennedy's message was simple.
00:01:30.000 He proposed an unabashed quid pro quo.
00:01:33.000 Kennedy would lend Andropov, Yuri Andropov, then the prime minister, a hand in dealing with President Reagan.
00:01:38.000 In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election.
00:01:45.000 Quote, the only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace in Soviet-American relations, the memo stated.
00:01:51.000 These issues, according to the senator, will without doubt become one of the most important of the election campaign.
00:01:56.000 In the 1990s, the Clintons, you remember them?
00:01:58.000 They raised money from the Chinese government, and they allegedly declassified American nuclear secrets in return.
00:02:03.000 In 2008, Senator Obama sent a letter directly to the Ayatollahs in Iran, telling them to hold off on conflict until he could be reelected.
00:02:11.000 In 2012, Obama told the Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, that he wanted Vladimir Putin, you remember that guy, to hold off on aggressive action until he could provide flexibility after the election.
00:02:21.000 No, Democrats don't get to claim that Donald Trump is the real threat to national security because he said something everybody knows he's thinking.
00:02:28.000 The man has no brain to mouth filter. 0.95
00:02:31.000 It's all verbal farts.
00:02:32.000 But Hillary Clinton has proved herself an actual national security threat. 1.00
00:02:35.000 It's her fault Putin may have her emails, not Donald Trump's.
00:02:39.000 Which isn't to say that Trump is stable.
00:02:40.000 He isn't.
00:02:41.000 During the press conference, Donald Trump also suggested that the vice presidential candidate, Tim Kaine, had done a poor job running New Jersey.
00:02:48.000 He was the governor of Virginia.
00:02:50.000 Tom Kean was the governor of New Jersey.
00:02:52.000 He also said he wanted to abrogate the Geneva Conventions and said he might consider letting the Russians take Crimea, among other colorful moments. 0.82
00:02:59.000 But when it comes to the Russians hacking Hillary, it's not Trump who's the problem.
00:03:02.000 Hillary is. 0.98
00:03:03.000 Everybody knows it, despite the media spin.
00:03:05.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
00:03:06.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:03:13.000 Okay, so here we are.
00:03:14.000 We're finally here on Facebook Live.
00:03:16.000 And we'll give you a couple minutes extra against the advice of my producers just because you've been such good people waiting and waiting and waiting while Hillary and the Russians try to hack this show.
00:03:26.000 But I want to begin.
00:03:28.000 There's so much to get to today.
00:03:29.000 We're going to start with the actual story of the convention.
00:03:33.000 The actual story of the convention is that the chaos continues.
00:03:35.000 The Sanders supporters are deeply unhappy with Hillary Clinton, and they are not shy about talking about it or doing things about it.
00:03:42.000 So yesterday, here's what happened.
00:03:43.000 A bunch of Bernie Sanders supporters actually walked out of the convention hall.
00:03:46.000 You remember, there was talk some of the Cruz people would do this at the RNC.
00:03:50.000 Never happened.
00:03:50.000 At the DNC, it actually happened.
00:03:52.000 See, here's the thing.
00:03:53.000 When you have a candidate who keeps talking about revolution, and then he caves in the face of Hillary Clinton, his revolutionaries aren't just going to cave.
00:04:00.000 They're going to be revolutionaries.
00:04:02.000 Which means that they walk out of the convention hall.
00:04:04.000 So here's the Sanders protesters walking out and then basically rioting in the streets almost.
00:04:10.000 Hey Elaine, so we're approaching FDR Park outside of the Wells Marina Fargo here in Philly, and there's been a collision of protest groups.
00:04:21.000 The Bernie or BOTS demonstrators came from FDR Park where they were hanging out to meet the Black Lives Matter protesters who were marching from City Hall, and it was probably the biggest
00:04:43.000 Apparently, four people were arrested in all of this, and the protesters got wild.
00:04:47.000 They had themselves a good time.
00:04:48.000 Apparently, they were burning American and Israeli flags.
00:04:51.000 This is really ironic and hilarious.
00:04:53.000 They wanted to burn an American flag, apparently, but they had trouble finding one because it's a democratic convention.
00:04:58.000 So, of course, they don't have an American flag.
00:05:00.000 They don't even like it enough to have it there, let alone burn it.
00:05:02.000 So, here's a video of them burning an Israeli flag yesterday.
00:05:15.000 And they're chanting for Intifada if you can't understand what they're saying.
00:05:20.000 Yeah, real pros for all these folks.
00:05:23.000 Okay, they're just a delight.
00:05:24.000 The nice thing is you get to pay for all of their welfare, so that's exciting.
00:05:29.000 The Bernie fans also were the ones who stayed in the arena.
00:05:32.000 They were chanting at Cory Booker.
00:05:34.000 Cory Booker gave a speech yesterday in favor of Hillary Clinton, and Bernie fans were chanting Warhawk at Cory Booker.
00:05:40.000 Here's what it looked like.
00:05:42.000 Clearly this is a group of very happy people wearing Robin Hood caps and being old.
00:05:57.000 So it's very exciting.
00:05:59.000 Good times at the Democratic National Convention.
00:06:02.000 Black Lives Matter protesters also showed up outside the DNC where they ordered white people to the back of their protest because there's nothing that says we're against racism like separating people by race and then ordering them to the back of a bus.
00:06:13.000 As we've known from history, so here's a Black Lives Matter protester doing this routine.
00:06:20.000 White people get to the back. 0.95
00:06:23.000 White people get to the back, yeah. 0.96
00:06:39.000 I'm so glad this movement has the support of our race-blind president.
00:06:43.000 Okay, so this is the real story of the convention, is that this sort of activity continues.
00:06:48.000 But the story last night, of course, that the media wanted to trot out is that it was Hillary Clinton's big moment.
00:06:52.000 Yes, she's been waiting years and years and years and decades, centuries, perhaps.
00:06:59.000 Sitting in a cave somewhere, plotting this rise to power.
00:07:02.000 And finally, finally, Hillary Clinton, she is announced as the nominee for the Democratic Party, and it's a big moment.
00:07:10.000 So the Democrats decide that they put up pictures of all of the various presidents of the past, all of whom are men, and then this is what they show inside the convention hall.
00:07:27.000 Okay, so in case you can't see that, folks, if you're listening on the podcast, then first of all, half the arena's empty because a lot of these folks left.
00:07:37.000 Hillary's just smiling in the camera and people are dancing like crazy. 0.99
00:07:41.000 And Chelsea's cheering, everybody's all happy.
00:07:44.000 Okay, so... And Hillary just stands there all awkward. 1.00
00:07:49.000 Okay, so what you actually saw was Hillary's giant face cracking glass. 0.93
00:07:54.000 Which, believe it or not, is probably not the first time that's happened.
00:07:57.000 There are a couple things it reminded me of off the top of my head.
00:08:00.000 I mean, when I saw Hillary's face come through and shatter glass, Twitchy pointed this out and they're exactly right. 0.90
00:08:07.000 It was a little bit reminiscent of a commercial, a famous commercial of the past.
00:08:11.000 Here's what that was.
00:08:13.000 Oh yeah!
00:08:16.000 Uh oh! 0.99
00:08:17.000 Huh?
00:08:25.000 Oh, yeah!
00:08:25.000 Hillary!
00:08:30.000 Oh, yeah.
00:08:41.000 Oh, yeah.
00:08:42.000 Clinton and the Kool-Aid Man.
00:08:44.000 The only difference is that children aren't afraid of the Kool-Aid Man breaking through their walls.
00:08:48.000 There's another commercial, by the way, that's looked a lot alike.
00:08:50.000 And that was the 1984 commercial, of course, right?
00:08:55.000 Here it comes.
00:09:18.000 Here comes Dinesh D'Souza throwing a hammer at Hillary Clinton up there.
00:09:23.000 Good times.
00:09:24.000 Alright.
00:09:25.000 And then watch, you'll see.
00:09:26.000 Here comes the hammer.
00:09:28.000 Most famous commercial in TV history.
00:09:30.000 There are the Bernie Bros taking their hammer and just tossing it at Hillary Clinton.
00:09:43.000 On January 24th.
00:09:45.000 Okay, so yes, there were some famous images that came to mind when Hillary Clinton's face split a screen.
00:09:51.000 So, the media made a huge deal out of this.
00:09:53.000 The media were crying and weeping.
00:09:56.000 Oh my God, it's just unbelievable!
00:09:58.000 Hillary Clinton, oh my God, what are we gonna do?
00:10:02.000 Clip 16, here's ABC talking about the tears of joy for Hillary Clinton.
00:10:06.000 Tears of joy.
00:10:08.000 Real emotion here on display.
00:10:09.000 Tears of joy from Hillary Clinton supporters.
00:10:12.000 Right now there are people all around me in tears as they watch this roll call vote.
00:10:17.000 As history is made, tears.
00:10:19.000 There is a sense that history is being made.
00:10:22.000 We are seeing tears.
00:10:23.000 You can see tears coming down his eyes.
00:10:25.000 Okay, the only tears about Hillary becoming president is all the women Bill will sexually assault in the future who will now be in Hillary's crosshairs. 1.00
00:10:33.000 Hillary, let's be straight about this.
00:10:35.000 Hillary Clinton did not change anything yesterday.
00:10:38.000 She didn't change anything.
00:10:39.000 And I'm so sick of conservatives, so-called conservatives, doing this with Obama, too.
00:10:43.000 Oh, what a milestone!
00:10:44.000 What a moment!
00:10:45.000 We finally have a black president!
00:10:46.000 Yeah, except he's going to be the president. 0.57
00:10:48.000 And it turns out I didn't need to see a black guy as president to believe that black people could be presidents in the United States. 0.89
00:10:54.000 The only people who believe that are people who are misinformed about the nature of the United States by the Democratic Party and actual racists. 0.74
00:11:00.000 Same thing is true for Hillary Clinton. 1.00
00:11:02.000 My wife is a doctor, which means she's accomplished more in her short life than Hillary Clinton has in her entire life. 0.93
00:11:08.000 My wife is a doctor who takes care of people. 0.98
00:11:10.000 She never at any point in her life sat around thinking, you know what, I can't be a doctor until Hillary Clinton, a corrupt old shrew, becomes a presidential nominee. 1.00
00:11:17.000 My mom, when I was growing up, my mom worked and my dad was a stay-at-home dad. 0.95
00:11:21.000 And my mom didn't sit around wondering, can I run film and television companies? 0.99
00:11:25.000 I don't know.
00:11:26.000 I'll have to think about whether Hillary Clinton could become president. 1.00
00:11:29.000 This is all so stupid. 1.00
00:11:31.000 Women, by the way, are a majority of bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and associate's degrees. 1.00
00:11:35.000 Next year, according to the American Bar Association, there will be a majority of law students in the United States.
00:11:40.000 American women don't need Hillary Clinton to shatter a glass ceiling that doesn't exist. 1.00
00:11:44.000 We already had a female Speaker of the House. 1.00
00:11:46.000 We have three female Justices on the Supreme Court. 1.00
00:11:48.000 Three of the last five Secretaries of State have been women. 1.00
00:11:52.000 So this idea that women are sitting around in their lives going, oh, you know, I feel so held back unless Hillary becomes President, it's such crap. 1.00
00:12:00.000 Also, Hillary doing this whole routine like she's overcome obstacles because she's a woman is such pure and unadulterated hokum. 1.00
00:12:07.000 It's such absolute nonsense. 0.55
00:12:09.000 Of course that's not true.
00:12:11.000 Hillary Clinton was born rich, married a guy, rode his coattails to power, abused his victims, and then used that corruption to parlay herself into a Senate seat in New York, which her husband helped grease the skids for with a pardon of Mark Rich.
00:12:28.000 And then, she ran for president, was terrible at it, and she keeps failing upward. 1.00
00:12:32.000 This idea that women everywhere benefit because Hillary is president is just crap. 0.98
00:12:36.000 It's also not true, I object to the general idea, Dennis Prager made this point this morning, and he's right. 0.98
00:12:41.000 I object to the general idea that minority groups, first of all, women are a majority, they're not a minority.
00:12:45.000 Okay, there are a large majority of voters, I think 54% of people who voted last time around were women.
00:12:51.000 So this idea that women are victims, okay, then they're victims of women, because women could theoretically band together and vote a woman if that was their top priority. 1.00
00:12:58.000 But minority groups don't need a token to be the celebrity god leader in order for them to feel like they can achieve.
00:13:07.000 When was the last time you saw an Asian American on either half of the ticket?
00:13:10.000 It's never happened, ever.
00:13:12.000 Asian Americans are the most successful economic group in the United States.
00:13:15.000 Jews have had precisely one nominee for VP, and it was Joe Lieberman in 2000.
00:13:20.000 Jews have been highly successful in the United States. 1.00
00:13:23.000 The idea that black people needed a black president or females need a female president, it's such patent stupidity, it's almost unbelievable. 1.00
00:13:29.000 And speaking of which, 1.00
00:13:30.000 You know, the idea that Barack Obama became a black president and therefore black kids all over the United States pointed and they said, I can do anything.
00:13:37.000 Why is it then that racial polarization in the country is at an all-time high, or at least a high, modern high, since the civil rights movement?
00:13:45.000 Why is it that we're going backwards in terms of race relations?
00:13:47.000 If black kids feel better about the nature of America because we have a black president, 1.00
00:13:52.000 Why is it that they don't actually feel better about the nature of America because we have a black president? 0.99
00:13:56.000 All this is nonsense. 1.00
00:13:56.000 All this is poop. 1.00
00:13:58.000 And the media continue to cheer it forward because, oh, it's a historic moment. 0.82
00:14:02.000 Oh, it's such a historic moment.
00:14:04.000 The networks cheered Hillary's milestone.
00:14:07.000 And you can see them cheering Hillary's milestone.
00:14:10.000 You can see Joy Reid of MSNBC saying that Hillary Clinton is going to teach us a lot about sexism. 0.82
00:14:16.000 I'm sorry, but we keep on rediscovering who we are as Americans.
00:14:20.000 Barack Obama made us rediscover that we still have issues with race, and you know what?
00:14:24.000 We still have issues with gender. 0.50
00:14:26.000 And Hillary Clinton is going to teach us that lesson now as she runs for president. 1.00
00:14:30.000 Oh, how magical.
00:14:31.000 How magical.
00:14:32.000 So this is great.
00:14:33.000 So she's now talking up the idea that Barack Obama divided us along race, which is now a good thing. 1.00
00:14:38.000 So Hillary will divide us along sexual lines, and that'll also be a good thing. 1.00
00:14:42.000 This whole thing is just ridiculous. 0.99
00:14:43.000 Hillary has no qualifications to be president. 1.00
00:14:45.000 There's no reason she should be president. 0.99
00:14:47.000 She's awful on every score. 1.00
00:14:48.000 She's awful on every score. 1.00
00:14:50.000 Even her husband, Bill, can't make her more palatable. 0.56
00:14:52.000 So Bill Clinton spoke last night in an attempt to make Hillary seem like not the Wicked Witch of the West. 0.99
00:14:59.000 Failed dramatically.
00:15:01.000 So Bill let off his speech, and it was a 40-minute speech.
00:15:04.000 I mean, he just kept jabbering and jabbering.
00:15:05.000 He kept thinking, okay, this is the last time I'm going to be on stage.
00:15:08.000 Better get those ladies in the front row looking good. 1.00
00:15:10.000 So Bill is sitting there and he's talking about his relationship with Hillary Clinton.
00:15:16.000 And it was pretty creepy, I gotta admit.
00:15:17.000 I mean, he was making out his relationship with Hillary Clinton to be like Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn in On Golden Pond.
00:15:23.000 They just sit around and they listen to the loons.
00:15:26.000 Do you hear the loons?
00:15:27.000 And they're just sitting around listening to the loons on the lake.
00:15:30.000 Except for the fact that Bill nails everything he can possibly find.
00:15:33.000 Anything he can get his hands on, consent or no consent, and Hillary then covers up for it. 0.99
00:15:37.000 It's been a perfect marriage.
00:15:38.000 And so he tells the story of how they met. 0.99
00:15:40.000 And it's kind of creepy and stalkerish when you consider that Bill Clinton is an actual alleged rapist. 0.97
00:15:45.000 So here's Bill Clinton doing that last night. 0.82
00:15:47.000 Well, I didn't join the law review.
00:15:50.000 But I did leave that library with a whole new goal in mind.
00:15:55.000 Then, in the spring of 1971, I met a girl.
00:16:23.000 The first time I saw her, we were, appropriately enough, in a class on political and civil rights.
00:16:31.000 She had thick blonde hair, big glasses, wore no makeup, and she exuded this sense of strength and self-possession that I found magnetic.
00:16:47.000 After the class, I followed her out, intending to introduce myself.
00:16:53.000 I got close enough to touch her back, but I couldn't do it.
00:16:59.000 Somehow I knew this would not be just another tap on the shoulder.
00:17:04.000 That I might be starting something I couldn't stop.
00:17:11.000 Creepy stalker Bill, talking about his romantic story of meeting Hillary Clinton.
00:17:15.000 It continues, he went on like this for a long time, then he saw the girl again.
00:17:18.000 He saw the girl again.
00:17:22.000 I saw the girl again, standing at the opposite end of that long room.
00:17:31.000 But finally, she was staring back at me.
00:17:37.000 So I watched her.
00:17:38.000 She closed her book, put it down, and started walking toward me. 1.00
00:17:43.000 She walked the whole length of the library, came up to me and said, look, if you're going to keep staring at me,
00:17:53.000 And now I'm staring back.
00:17:56.000 We at least ought to know each other's names.
00:17:57.000 I'm Hillary Rodham.
00:17:58.000 Who are you?
00:18:01.000 I was... I was so... I was so impressed and surprised that whether you believe it or not, momentarily I was speechless.
00:18:18.000 Finally, I sort of blurted out my name, and we exchanged a few words, and then she went away.
00:18:24.000 Like an apparition, she sort of went away.
00:18:26.000 But don't worry, that's not the end of this particular ghost story.
00:18:29.000 Here's the end of this particular ghost story.
00:18:32.000 Well, I didn't join the law review, but I did leave that library with a whole new goal in mind.
00:18:40.000 A couple days later, I saw her again.
00:18:42.000 I remember she was wearing a long, white, flowery skirt.
00:18:47.000 And I went up to her and she said she was going to register for classes for the next term.
00:18:53.000 I said, I'd go too.
00:18:56.000 And we stood in line and talked.
00:18:57.000 You had to do that to register back then.
00:19:01.000 And I thought I was doing pretty well.
00:19:04.000 Till we got to the front of the line and the registrar looked up and said, Bill, what are you doing here?
00:19:09.000 You registered this morning.
00:19:15.000 I turned red and she laughed, that big laugh of hers. 0.98
00:19:19.000 And I thought, well, heck, since my cover's been blown, I just went ahead and asked her to take a walk down to the art museum.
00:19:28.000 We've been walking and talking and laughing together ever since.
00:19:33.000 Okay, so that's the end of that particular horror story, and now they're both going to be president.
00:19:37.000 It's just horrifying, or at least you would like to be.
00:19:39.000 First of all, I would say to Bill, Bill, in the future, if you're going to write your own speeches, please don't say your cover has been blown under any circumstances.
00:19:47.000 It's a very poor choice of words.
00:19:49.000 for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for,
00:20:15.000 Oh, and I think of all those times when I was having sex with anyone in a 30-mile radius, and I would just go and bang a waitress, just nail her. 1.00
00:20:25.000 And then I'd come home, and Hillary would throw a lamp at me and say, Bill, you stupid cretin, you almost got caught that time, and I need to be president. 1.00
00:20:32.000 That's when I realized I had made the right choice of that Coke bottle-wearing, glasses-wearing, crazy-haired, wonderful, wonderful woman. 1.00
00:20:41.000 I mean, it's just, like, who believes this crap? 0.99
00:20:44.000 It's supposed to humanize her. 1.00
00:20:45.000 The problem is, you can't make a robot human.
00:20:47.000 Okay?
00:20:47.000 It's just, it's impossible.
00:20:48.000 You can't make a horrible heroine like Hillary Clinton human. 1.00
00:20:53.000 Pretty spectacular.
00:20:54.000 I love when he says, we heard that big laugh that we all know.
00:20:58.000 Yeah, that big horrifying laugh that we hear every time somebody asks her a tough question.
00:21:04.000 Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
00:21:05.000 All right, well, we have to leave the Facebook live now.

00:21:41.000 Cowabunga.
00:21:41.000 So, Bill Clinton, he wasn't just done with the whole trying to make Hillary into something she's not, like a palatable human being.
00:21:49.000 What's really funny about all of this, you know what's really funny about all of this is that Bill actually could have done her some good last night.
00:21:55.000 All Bill had to do was come out and tell the actual story of their marriage.
00:21:59.000 Not like the real actual story.
00:22:00.000 Not like the part where they made a deal to both be president and she'd let him knock around as much as he could possibly want and his deal with her would be she'd stay 15,000 miles away.
00:22:10.000 Like right now, Bill wants her to be president so he can stay in Chappaqua and keep nailing the Energizer. 1.00
00:22:14.000 That's what they call his mistress, the Energizer.
00:22:15.000 So I guess he's getting recharged between sets.
00:22:19.000 He just wants her as far away as possible.
00:22:21.000 Like, Secretary of State was a perfect job for her.
00:22:23.000 She was on a plane far away from him all the time.
00:22:25.000 Which is, you know, the way that any loving man and wife want to be.
00:22:29.000 I know that when I go home at night, the first thing I think is, boy, how can I get rid of this wife? 1.00
00:22:33.000 That's the first thing that I think.
00:22:35.000 And all he really had to do is, we all know, we all know the nature of their marriage.
00:22:38.000 If you wanted to make Hillary look good, remember, the time that Hillary was most popular in her career is right after we found out about Lewinsky and everybody felt really terrible for her. 0.94
00:22:47.000 We all felt like, boy, she really married a scoundrel.
00:22:49.000 And so everybody said, oh, well, she must be a nice person. 0.99
00:22:53.000 And then it turned out, of course, she's not a nice person, she's a heretic. 1.00
00:22:55.000 But for those five seconds, everybody was very sympathetic.
00:22:57.000 All they'll have to do is go out there and say, I know my wife is the toughest, strongest woman I've ever met. 0.98
00:23:03.000 And I know that because I have put her through some things that no husband should ever put a wife through.
00:23:08.000 And she's lived through them, and she's been stronger for it.
00:23:11.000 Right?
00:23:11.000 That's all he has to do.
00:23:12.000 He doesn't need just an oblique reference.
00:23:14.000 And it would mean a lot, but he can't do it because that would undercut the whole, we're a hunky-dory couple routine.
00:23:20.000 And that's why I don't think this speech is going to do her any good.
00:23:22.000 He went on to try and actually make the case for her
00:23:26.000 And the case that he made for her was not a good case.
00:23:30.000 It was really not a strong case at all.
00:23:32.000 So this is, let's go to 15C.
00:23:35.000 This is Bill Clinton talking about why you need to elect Hillary Clinton.
00:23:39.000 So what's up with it?
00:23:42.000 Well, if you win elections on the theory that government is always bad and will mess up a two-car parade, a real changemaker represents a real threat.
00:23:56.000 So, your only option is to create a cartoon, a cartoon alternative.
00:24:08.000 Then run against the cartoon.
00:24:10.000 Cartoons are two-dimensional.
00:24:11.000 They're easy to absorb.
00:24:13.000 Life in the real world is complicated, and real change is hard.
00:24:17.000 And a lot of people even think it's boring.
00:24:24.000 Good for you.
00:24:26.000 Because earlier today, you nominated the real one.
00:24:32.000 Yeah, I like cartoons.
00:24:33.000 I like those anime cartoons.
00:24:35.000 I like the pornography anime cartoons, but I don't like when people are made into cartoons. 0.98
00:24:39.000 This is so ridiculous. 0.98
00:24:40.000 First of all, Hillary Clinton isn't a cartoon. 1.00
00:24:42.000 She's actually a bad person who compromised national security for her own personal self-aggrandizement, and the Clinton Foundation is a giant slush fund for Bill and Hillary, the two most corrupt people in American politics. 0.99
00:24:52.000 Second of all, the entire Democratic Convention has been about cartooning Donald Trump.
00:24:55.000 Now, you don't need to turn Donald Trump into a cartoon, since he actually is a cartoon.
00:24:59.000 Like, he's an actual two-dimensional person.
00:25:02.000 If you turn sideways, he disappears.
00:25:04.000 Donald Trump is an actual cartoon.
00:25:06.000 He's like a flip book. 1.00
00:25:07.000 A flip book of silly. 0.99
00:25:08.000 Okay, but that's what they've been doing to Republicans for years. 0.97
00:25:11.000 Jonah Goldberg, I thought, made a brilliant point on this.
00:25:12.000 He said, one of the reasons Democratic rhetoric isn't working on Trump is they said the same things about Mitt Romney that are saying about Trump.
00:25:19.000 They were saying about Mitt Romney, he wanted to put y'all back in chains. 0.96
00:25:22.000 They were saying about Mitt Romney, he was uncaring and terrible and evil and horrible and bombastic and nutty.
00:25:27.000 They were saying all these things about George W. And so when they keep crying wolf about candidates and then finally they get Trump, there's nothing left in the tank.
00:25:35.000 So this ain't gonna work.
00:25:36.000 And then he has to try and make an affirmative case for Hillary Clinton.
00:25:39.000 And here's his affirmative case for Hillary Clinton.
00:25:41.000 It's 15-D.
00:25:43.000 You can drop her into any trouble spot. 0.52
00:25:46.000 Pick one.
00:25:47.000 Come back in a month, and somehow, some way, she will have made it better.
00:25:52.000 That is just who she is.
00:25:57.000 There are clear, achievable, affordable responses to our challenges, but we won't get to them if America makes the wrong choice in this election.
00:26:10.000 That's why you should elect her. 0.96
00:26:12.000 Okay, so, I love that.
00:26:14.000 He says, you can drop her in any trouble spot, come back in a month, and she will have made it better.
00:26:17.000 That is his personal experience with dropping her into trouble spots with his mistresses.
00:26:22.000 You drop her there, you kind of drive away, and you wait for Hillary to blackmail them into shutting up.
00:26:26.000 So that's exciting, but this didn't work particularly well in Libya.
00:26:30.000 We sort of dropped Hillary in the middle of that one, and that fell apart. 0.98
00:26:32.000 We dropped her in the middle of Syria, that fell apart.
00:26:34.000 We dropped her in the middle of Ukraine, that fell apart.
00:26:36.000 We dropped her in the middle of the South China Sea, that fell apart. 0.99
00:26:38.000 Basically, anything that Hillary touches turns into a crap show. 1.00
00:26:41.000 And you should elect her because she'll never quit when the going gets tough. 1.00
00:26:43.000 She'll never quit on you.
00:27:06.000 She sent me in this primary to West Virginia, where she knew we were going to lose, to look those coal miners in the eye and say, I'm down here because Hillary sent me to tell you that if you really think you can get the economy back you had 50 years ago, have at it. 0.91
00:27:26.000 Vote for whoever you want to.
00:27:28.000 But if she wins, she is coming back for you to take you along on the ride to America's future.
00:27:35.000 There's a ride to America's future?
00:27:37.000 That sounds awesome!
00:27:39.000 But I don't know what ride he's talking about.
00:27:40.000 This is such crazy talk.
00:27:42.000 She never quits when the going gets tough.
00:27:44.000 Hillary Clinton, the only thing that she hasn't quit when the going gets tough is her marriage. 0.99
00:27:48.000 Everything else, when it came to being Senator, she quit so that she could run for President. 1.00
00:27:51.000 When it came to running for President, she quit so she could be Secretary of State. 0.98
00:27:54.000 When she became Secretary of State, she quit after one term so that she could run for President again. 1.00
00:27:59.000 Hillary Clinton is not somebody who you can count on if her interests don't line up with yours, obviously. 0.97
00:28:06.000 But this wasn't the worst part of the convention last night.
00:28:08.000 I mean, the entire media were just going goo goo-eyed over this.
00:28:10.000 There was a CNN commentator who said, it just shows the kind of tenderness that Bill has for Hillary.
00:28:15.000 Yeah, the same sort of tenderness that a cow has for a barracuda.
00:28:20.000 No.
00:28:21.000 Bill just doesn't want to get stung.
00:28:22.000 That's all that's happening here.
00:28:24.000 That wasn't the worst part of the convention last night, though.
00:28:25.000 The worst part of the convention was the mothers of the movement. 0.99
00:28:28.000 So the mothers of the movement show up.
00:28:29.000 The mothers of the movement we've been discussing for days.
00:28:31.000 These are a bunch of black women who have sons who are killed in controversial circumstances by police or by neighborhood watch people, in the case of Trayvon Martin, or by random people at a gas station in one case.
00:28:44.000 And they speak at the DNC, and this is just, it's amazing.
00:28:47.000 So first, this is Geneva Readveil, she's the mother of Sandra Bland.
00:28:51.000 Sandra Bland committed suicide in prison.
00:28:53.000 Why is this lady speaking? 1.00
00:28:54.000 No one knows, except to make the cops look bad, because that's what the DNC is all about.
00:29:00.000 Six other women have died in custody that same month.
00:29:07.000 Kendra Chapman, Alexis McGovern, Sarah Lee Circlebear,
00:29:14.000 Raynette Turner, Ralkina Jones, and Joyce Cornell.
00:29:22.000 So many of our children are gone, but they are not forgotten.
00:29:28.000 I am here with Hillary Clinton tonight because she is a leader and a mother who will say
00:29:43.000 Okay, so that's lady number one. 0.71
00:29:51.000 And then we get another lady, and she gets up there and she does this routine. 1.00
00:29:54.000 Jordan Davis, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, I'm trying to remember all the names, I believe Jordan Davis was the guy who was killed by the cops after he hit a cop in the neck with a baton, if I'm not mistaken.
00:30:04.000 So this is Lucia McBath, his mommy, talking about him.
00:30:08.000 Hillary Clinton isn't afraid to say that black lives matter. 0.99
00:30:15.000 She isn't afraid to sit at a table with grieving mothers and bear the full force of our anguish.
00:30:24.000 Stop it for a second because I want to correct myself.
00:30:26.000 So Jordan Davis, I'm mixing up Jordan Davis and Dontre Hamilton.
00:30:29.000 His mom's on the stage also.
00:30:30.000 Jordan Davis was murdered by a white guy at a gas station.
00:30:33.000 What does that have to do with anything?
00:30:34.000 No one knows.
00:30:35.000 No one knows what that has to do with anything.
00:30:37.000 And then finally, there's another mother of the movement who speaks, and this is the mother of Michael Brown, correct?
00:30:43.000 Or is this Trayvon's mom?
00:30:44.000 This might be Trayvon's mom.
00:30:45.000 We'll see in one second.
00:30:47.000 Hillary Clinton has the compassion and understanding
00:30:52.000 To support grieving mothers.
00:30:55.000 She has the courage to lead the fight for common-sense gun legislation.
00:31:00.000 Again, why is this lady speaking about common-sense gun legislation? 1.00
00:31:08.000 She has a plan.
00:31:10.000 She has a plan to divide that so often exists between law enforcement and the communities that they serve.
00:31:20.000 This isn't about being politically correct.
00:31:23.000 This is about saving our children.
00:31:26.000 OK, well, if Sabrina Fulton wanted to save her kid, maybe her kid should have been taking a guy's head and banging it on the pavement. 1.00
00:31:33.000 That's why we're here tonight with Hillary Clinton.
00:31:37.000 And that's why, in memory of our children, we are employing you, all of you, to vote this election day.
00:31:51.000 Okay, enough.
00:31:52.000 So they do this whole routine.
00:31:54.000 Leslie McSpadden, who's the mother of Michael Brown, who tried to kill a cop, was also up there.
00:31:58.000 Why Sabrina Fulton should have anything to say about gun control is beyond me. 0.63
00:32:01.000 I don't understand what is her specialization here.
00:32:04.000 What does she know about gun control policy that nobody else knows, other than her son got into a confrontation with George Zimmerman, was sitting astride his body, banging his head into the pavement when he was shot.
00:32:14.000 But it doesn't matter, this is what the Democrats do.
00:32:15.000 They need to polarize Americans so that then they can bring us together around whatever figure they want to bring us together around and lately that's been Hillary Clinton. 1.00
00:32:23.000 Okay, so now it's time for some things I like and then an extra special episode of things that I hate.
00:32:28.000 So things I like, we've been doing Russian villains. 1.00
00:32:31.000 So that is because the Russians apparently hacked the DNC and decided to release all of the DNC's emails.
00:32:37.000 So we're doing Russian villain movies.
00:32:38.000 So this is a movie that's really enjoyable.
00:32:40.000 It's not a great movie, but it's a good movie.
00:32:43.000 The movie Rounders.
00:32:44.000 I think they're talking now about making a sequel.
00:32:46.000 It's about poker.
00:32:47.000 Matt Damon and Edward Norton is in it.
00:32:51.000 And John Malkovich plays the Russian villain.
00:32:53.000 So here's the trailer.
00:32:56.000 No Limit Texas Hold'em is the Cadillac of poker.
00:33:00.000 Each player is dealt two cards face down.
00:33:04.000 Five cards are then dealt face up across the middle.
00:33:07.000 These are community cards everyone can use to make the best five card hand.
00:33:11.000 The key to the game is playing the man, not the cards.
00:33:15.000 Better than eight ball.
00:33:19.000 There's no other game in which fortunes can change so much from hand to hand.
00:33:23.000 A brilliant player can get a strong hand cracked, go on tilt, and lose his mind along with every single chip in front of him.
00:33:30.000 This is why the World Series of Poker is decided over a no-limit hold'em table.
00:33:34.000 Some people, pros even, won't play no-limit.
00:33:37.000 They can't handle the swings.
00:33:40.000 But there are others, like Doyle Brunson, who consider no-limit the only pure game left.
00:33:49.000 Like Papa Willenda said, life is on the wire.
00:33:52.000 The rest is just waiting.
00:34:12.000 The Jews read a different portion of the Torah so that by the end of the year we've gone through the entire five books of Moses and we do that every single year.
00:34:18.000 So this week's Torah portion is the portion of Pinchas, Phinehas.
00:34:22.000 So this is about the fella in the Bible, you may remember him, who stabs a couple of folks and basically ends up becoming a priest because of it.
00:34:30.000 So the backstory, this is from Numbers 25, 10 through 13.
00:34:34.000 So what happened just before this is that Phinehas was 0.89
00:34:38.000 We're good to go.
00:35:05.000 And Moses doesn't know what to do, and so Phineas takes a spear and he kills both of them.
00:35:10.000 And so this is from Numbers 25.10.
00:35:11.000 It says, "'The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "'Phineas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the Cohen, "'has turned my anger away from the children of Israel "'by his zealously avenging me among them, "'so that I did not destroy the children of Israel "'because of my zeal.
00:35:24.000 "'Therefore, say, I hereby give him my covenant of peace.
00:35:26.000 "'It shall be for him and for his descendants after him "'an eternal covenant of Kahuna.'"
00:35:30.000 That means priesthood.
00:35:31.000 "'Because he was zealous for his God "'and atoned for the children of Israel.
00:35:35.000 So, you know, it's a brutal story, for sure.
00:35:37.000 But the real question is, why didn't Moses know the law?
00:35:39.000 And this is a question asked by all the Jewish commentators.
00:35:42.000 Why didn't Moses do it?
00:35:43.000 Moses had already given the order.
00:35:44.000 You're not allowed to consort with the women from Midian because they're leading you into idolatry. 1.00
00:35:48.000 So why didn't Moses do anything about it?
00:35:50.000 The reason I think—so there are a bunch of different commentaries on this.
00:35:54.000 A very famous Jewish commentator named Rashi, he says that Moses basically had a moment of forgetfulness because that had started to come over him since he sinned with the rock, which we talked about last week.
00:36:05.000 What I think really happened here is that if you read a little bit earlier in the Bible, Miriam, who is Moses' sister, comes to Moses and she says, Why are you married to this woman who's not Jewish?
00:36:18.000 There's a section in the Bible a couple chapters earlier.
00:36:20.000 Why are you married to Zipporah?
00:36:23.000 Why are you married to Zipporah, this woman who's not Jewish? 0.91
00:36:27.000 And Moses doesn't really have an answer.
00:36:30.000 God punishes Miriam for asking the question. 0.94
00:36:33.000 I think what happened here is that Moses was looking at the situation, and he felt like a hypocrite. 0.54
00:36:37.000 He felt like, okay, why is it that I'm allowed to marry a woman who's not Jewish, but this guy is sleeping with a woman who's not Jewish, and it's a big deal. 0.99
00:36:44.000 I feel like a hypocrite now.
00:36:46.000 The reason I think this is important, and it takes Phineas to come in and say, no, no, no, you don't get to just do what you want because people have sinned in the past or made mistakes in the past, or because they had an exception in the case of Moses.
00:36:58.000 I think that the reason this is important is because
00:37:02.000 So much of American politics, so much of how we think about values and issues, goes back to the sins that we've committed.
00:37:10.000 Leftism is a religion without the possibility of repentance.
00:37:15.000 In leftism, if you committed a sin when you were 18, if you went to Woodstock and slept around when you were 18, you have to spend the rest of your career talking about why abortion and sexual promiscuity is great.
00:37:24.000 Because if anybody says to you, wait, now you're preaching virtue, but when you were a kid you didn't, you can't say, right, I made mistakes.
00:37:30.000 I made mistakes is not part of the leftist, it's not part of their, it's not part of their thesaurus, it's not part of their dictionary.
00:37:36.000 They don't know, their lexicon does not include that phrase, I made mistakes.
00:37:41.000 Instead, the idea is if you sinned, then really you are standing up against the prevailing value system, and now, forevermore, you have to stand on the side of your sin against the value system.
00:37:52.000 This is why baby boomer parents have done such a terrible job to the country, because they've said to their own kids, I can't condemn bad action you take because I did it when I was younger. 0.95
00:38:00.000 No, you can.
00:38:01.000 That's sort of the purpose of being a parent.
00:38:03.000 The purpose of living life is you make mistakes, you learn from the mistakes, and you don't repeat them. 0.82
00:38:07.000 But as a society, we've become so petty and stupid, we've become so permissive in our ideas of what is good and what is bad, that we've decided that every time we do something wrong, we have to spend the rest of our life defending the thing we did wrong, rather than just going out and saying, I made a mistake. 0.95
00:38:21.000 It's one of the things that bothers me deeply about both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. 0.98
00:38:24.000 I think both of them do this.
00:38:25.000 I think Donald Trump, when he says, I don't feel the need to repent, I don't want to be the kind of guy who has to repent.
00:38:29.000 If you're a religious person, you spend your entire life repenting. 0.61
00:38:33.000 In Judaism, we do basically a form of repentance two times a day.
00:38:37.000 I mean, we actually do what's called tachannun two times a day.
00:38:41.000 We do it in the morning service and the afternoon service.
00:38:43.000 Immediately after Yom Kippur, when we've done all of our repentance and supposedly this light is wiped clean, we immediately go into the evening service.
00:38:50.000 And even the evening service has a paragraph in the silent amidah, in the silent service, that specifically talks about repentance, lachlanu, right?
00:38:56.000 So the idea is, meaning forgive us.
00:38:59.000 The idea is, we're constantly repenting for the sins we commit.
00:39:02.000 The standard doesn't change because you sinned.
00:39:05.000 The standard is what it always was.
00:39:07.000 You may have made mistakes, but that doesn't mean that everybody else gets to throw away the standard because you made mistakes. 0.86
00:39:12.000 And I think that's the lesson here, is that Phineas is saying, you have to be zealous on behalf of the standard, and even if you made mistakes in the past, even if you're ashamed of those mistakes, even if you feel like a hypocrite, the standard did not change just because you feel like a hypocrite.
00:39:24.000 Okay, time for one more thing that I like.
00:39:27.000 So Hillary Clinton released a photo celebrating her nomination.
00:39:31.000 And here is the picture, right?
00:39:32.000 So it says, we made history, Hillary for America. 0.58
00:39:34.000 And it's a picture of a woman in a hijab crying.
00:39:38.000 And it looks like she's celebrating Hillary. 0.53
00:39:40.000 I mean, look how moving this is.
00:39:42.000 One problem.
00:39:43.000 She tweets out, this woman tweets out, a picture of herself with Bernie Sanders and says, guess you still didn't get the memo.
00:39:50.000 Hashtag still Sanders.
00:39:51.000 Hashtag Iman immigrant. 0.74
00:39:53.000 Hashtag I support Palestinian rights.
00:39:56.000 So they grabbed a photo from this lady and it turns out she's crying because Hillary's the nominee.
00:40:02.000 So, they thought they were tweeting it out because it's such a moving, moving tribute, and it turns out she doesn't want Hillary to be the nominee in the first place.
00:40:09.000 Okay, time for some things that I hate.
00:40:10.000 So, celebrity culture has overtaken both parties.
00:40:13.000 In the Republican Party, we felt the necessity to have speakers like Antonio Sabato Jr., who's most famous for dancing in a Janet Jackson video, and Natalie Gulbis, who I guess is an LPGA tour lady.
00:40:25.000 The Democrats really do this right.
00:40:27.000 The Democrats bring out every celebrity they can find.
00:40:29.000 It really makes you kind of sick to your stomach because it demonstrates how our culture has been taken over.
00:40:33.000 See, here's what happens.
00:40:34.000 The human tendency.
00:40:35.000 Kevin Williamson has a good piece about this today at National Review.
00:40:38.000 I don't think it's complete, but it's very good.
00:40:40.000 He talks about the tendency of human beings to follow celebrity and he says it doesn't make any sense because we don't even know these celebrities.
00:40:46.000 That's because the human being has a tendency to follow royal families.
00:40:49.000 We do.
00:40:50.000 We have a tendency to find people that we like and then to use them as shortcuts for thinking.
00:40:55.000 We're constantly finding shortcuts for thinking because there's so many decisions we have to make every day.
00:40:59.000 So we do this with celebrities.
00:41:00.000 We find people that we like.
00:41:02.000 And then we say, well, if Taylor Swift thinks that's cool, then it must be cool.
00:41:06.000 If Lena Dunham thinks that's cool, the lady who looks like a russet potato, that means that it must be cool. 0.91
00:41:11.000 And by the way, I make fun of Lena Dunham's physical appearance because it is legitimately her only claim to fame, and she herself basically gets naked so that anyone will pay attention to her. 0.87
00:41:20.000 That's why I specifically make fun of her.
00:41:21.000 So that's actually a pointed criticism of Lena Dunham's physical appearance, the fact that she looks like a russet potato. 1.00
00:41:26.000 So Sia did a version of this song that I hate called Fight Song.
00:41:31.000 So I hate the song in the first place, this Fight Song song, because number one, my understanding is that the song is about a breakup,
00:41:38.000 And it's some lady whining and singing about, this is my fight song, my I'm alright song, everything is, I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine.
00:41:45.000 And it's like, okay, lady, you didn't go to Afghanistan.
00:41:48.000 Like, really?
00:41:49.000 You broke up with a dude.
00:41:50.000 Is it a fight song, or is it just like, get over it?
00:41:53.000 It's such a, ugh, fight song.
00:41:55.000 Is it?
00:41:56.000 Lindsay isn't here today, so I can't rip on her Brave tattoo, but it's the same sentiment.
00:42:00.000 It's the same basic concept, fights.
00:42:02.000 So anyway, they decide they're gonna have a fight, so they do a version of Fight Song with every celebrity you can imagine in favor of, you guessed it, Hillary Clinton, who's had to fight herself through all sorts of obstacles, including marrying the President of the United States, growing up wealthy, going to all the best schools, and getting a handout from the FBI every time she commits a criminal act.
00:42:19.000 So those are real obstacles, and so she's really had to fight.
00:42:21.000 Here are all the celebrities basically endorsing her.
00:42:23.000 This is our fight song.
00:42:26.000 Take back my life song.
00:42:29.000 Prove they're alright song.
00:42:35.000 My power's turning on.
00:42:37.000 Starting right now.
00:42:38.000 I'll be strong.
00:42:40.000 I'll play my fight song.
00:42:54.000 Go Hillary. 1.00
00:43:15.000 No, no great shock there.
00:43:16.000 It's a well-produced video, obviously, and they've got all the people from Pitch Perfect singing, and they've got the people from Modern Family singing, and all the people in the Democratic Party are just so happy because all the celebrities love us!
00:43:26.000 That means we're special!
00:43:27.000 We're special, don't you get it?
00:43:29.000 No, you're not special.
00:43:29.000 None of the people know who you are.
00:43:30.000 None of them care. 0.97
00:43:31.000 They'd probably cut you dead if you met them at the grocery.
00:43:34.000 Because they do it all the time. 0.51
00:43:35.000 I live in L.A., okay? 0.99
00:43:36.000 Most of these celebrities are kind of jerky. 0.98
00:43:37.000 They don't like being confronted. 0.98
00:43:39.000 They don't like having people talk to them or even ask them for autographs.
00:43:42.000 But we have to worship at their altar.
00:43:44.000 Okay, folks, as I always say, don't worship people.
00:43:47.000 I really think, by the way, this had an impact on the Republican race, too, because we found the greatest, we found the most significant person that we could find, the most publicly available person we could find, Donald Trump, and decided to make him our nominee.
00:44:00.000 And it wasn't, it didn't stop with that.
00:44:01.000 Meryl Streep showed up to cheer for Hillary Clinton, leaving everybody wanting a Silkwood shower.
00:44:06.000 So here is Meryl Streep.
00:44:08.000 What does it take
00:44:10.000 To be the first female anything. 0.99
00:44:13.000 Well, first you have to have sex with Bill Clinton once. 0.99
00:44:16.000 It takes grit and it takes grace. 0.99
00:44:21.000 Yeah, Hillary is graceful. 1.00
00:44:22.000 Hillary Clinton has taken some fire over 40 years.
00:44:28.000 Like on the tarmac in Bosnia.
00:44:30.000 of her fight for families and children. 1.00
00:44:34.000 Well, to kill the ones that aren't born yet, I guess. 1.00
00:44:35.000 How does she do it? 1.00
00:44:37.000 How does she?
00:44:37.000 She's so strong.
00:44:38.000 That's what I want to know.
00:44:39.000 Oh, I want to know.
00:44:40.000 Where does she get her grit? 1.00
00:44:41.000 Where does she get it?
00:44:42.000 Oh, my God.
00:44:44.000 Where do any of our female firsts, our path breakers, where do they find that strength? 1.00
00:44:53.000 You people have made history.
00:44:59.000 Yeah, so did the people who built the Titanic.
00:45:03.000 And you're gonna make history again in November!
00:45:07.000 Okay, and I love the crowd.
00:45:07.000 Just, oh my god, Meryl Streep!
00:45:08.000 I remember her from Devil Wears Prada! 0.98
00:45:10.000 She must have something valuable to say.
00:45:12.000 Okay, we can stop it there.
00:45:13.000 I can't, I can't, I can't.
00:45:15.000 And you can already see, she's already getting her hair ready to play Hillary Clinton in the next movie. 1.00
00:45:19.000 I mean, this is what she does.
00:45:20.000 By the way, I want to say this about Meryl Streep.
00:45:22.000 Meryl Streep is one of the most overrated actresses in the history of American cinema. 0.94
00:45:25.000 The last great movie that she made, great movie that Meryl Streep made, was legitimately Deer Hunter, back in the 1970s. 0.74
00:45:32.000 She's so overrated. 0.84
00:45:33.000 Katherine Hepburn once said about Meryl Streep, and it's totally true, the problem with Meryl Streep is you can see all the gears turning.
00:45:38.000 And that's exactly right.
00:45:39.000 She's a mechanical actress for a mechanical candidate. 1.00
00:45:41.000 But even that wasn't all.
00:45:42.000 Alicia Keys showed up to stump for gun control at the DNC. 1.00
00:45:46.000 Women are the answer. 1.00
00:45:48.000 Oh no.
00:45:49.000 We have the power to ensure that this country gets on the right path.
00:45:54.000 I dedicate this song to the mothers of the movement and all mothers who have lost their sons and their daughters to senseless violence.
00:46:03.000 Until we deal with gun violence in this country, we can't claim home of the brave.
00:46:12.000 Flat?
00:46:14.000 Alright, we don't have to listen to this because now she's going to sing and I don't like her work very much.
00:46:19.000 So, Alicia Keys must know.
00:46:21.000 She must know everything.
00:46:22.000 We need women. 1.00
00:46:22.000 If women were in the world, it would be so much better. 1.00
00:46:25.000 Yes, that's true.
00:46:25.000 Madame Mao was just a delight.
00:46:28.000 Evita Peron, just a delight.
00:46:31.000 There's no such thing as women are better than men or men are better than women.
00:46:33.000 There are bad people and there are good people, and they come in all shapes and sizes and sexes and colors.
00:46:37.000 I get this idea that we just need a woman. 1.00
00:46:39.000 I don't remember Alicia Keys saying that about Sarah Palin for VP.
00:46:43.000 Call me crazy, I don't remember her stumping for Carly Fiorina on that basis. 0.93
00:46:46.000 And I love that when people say people are victims of senseless violence.
00:46:50.000 No, they're victims of people who commit senseless violence.
00:46:52.000 It's not like there's some guy with a big shirt that says senseless violence just walking around on the street, and if you just walk close to him, he hits you with a 2x4. 0.96
00:47:01.000 It's so ridiculous all the way through.
00:47:02.000 And then finally, the greatest of all celebrities, Russet Potato Lena Dunham, standing next to, I think it's America Ferreira, right?
00:47:09.000 America Ferreira, who hasn't been in a show that's successful for at least 10 years.
00:47:13.000 And here is Lena Dunham looking just her best, straight off of eating cake naked on a toilet. 1.00
00:47:19.000 And here she's speaking. 0.92
00:47:21.000 I am a pro-choice, feminist, sexual assault survivor with a chronic reproductive illness.
00:47:27.000 You're a victim.
00:47:27.000 Donald Trump and his party think I should be punished for exercising my constitutional rights.
00:47:35.000 His rhetoric about women takes us back to a time when we were meant to be beautiful and silent.
00:47:41.000 Meanwhile, 22 years ago, Hillary Clinton declared that women's rights are human rights.
00:47:48.000 Okay, so my favorite thing about this was that they first started this thing with Lena Dunham saying, Donald Trump probably thinks I'm a two.
00:47:54.000 No.
00:47:55.000 No, he doesn't.
00:47:56.000 That's a wild overestimate. 0.97
00:47:57.000 And then America Ferrera turns to Lena Dunham, and she says, he thinks I'm probably a rapist. 0.51
00:48:01.000 It's a good thing, as Jonathan Hay points out, it's a good thing they didn't switch that line, because Lena Dunham actually brags about basically molesting her sister in her own memoir. 0.96
00:48:10.000 But, you know, all these celebrities, we have to
00:48:14.000 Pay attention to all of them.
00:48:14.000 They're very deep and important human beings.
00:48:16.000 Okay, finally we conclude with stuff I hate.
00:48:18.000 Donald Trump just couldn't keep his mouth shut today.
00:48:21.000 So Donald Trump does a press conference and it's meant to draw fire away from the Democratic National Convention and draw attention away. 0.78
00:48:29.000 And he says a lot of kind of crazy things.
00:48:32.000 He says that he hopes the Russians release Hillary's emails.
00:48:35.000 Here's what he had to say about that.
00:48:37.000 I will tell you this.
00:48:38.000 Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.
00:48:47.000 I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
00:48:52.000 Okay, so he wants the Russians to—he hopes they hacked Hillary Clinton.
00:48:56.000 He's getting condemned over this.
00:48:57.000 I don't think that it's particularly terrible, Trump.
00:48:58.000 I think that everybody's going nuts over it.
00:49:00.000 Oh my God, he wants them to hack.
00:49:02.000 Hillary Clinton set up a private server and made herself vulnerable to the hack. 0.99
00:49:06.000 Everybody knows he'd be happy if they released those emails because he'd become president in all likelihood.
00:49:10.000 So I'm not going to be all over Trump.
00:49:11.000 A lot of people are all over Trump on that today.
00:49:13.000 Doesn't make much of a difference to me.
00:49:14.000 I don't think that's a particularly important Trump failure.
00:49:19.000 Then Trump actually made a good point.
00:49:20.000 So here it's time for some good Trump.
00:49:21.000 We're actually going to be a little favorable to Trump today.
00:49:22.000 So here is Donald Trump talking about why Hillary is not an agent of change. 0.86
00:49:26.000 Bill Clinton called Hillary a change maker yesterday, to which I thought, she works at 7-Eleven? 0.99
00:49:31.000 But Donald Trump says, don't worry, there won't be any change with Hillary Clinton.
00:49:35.000 When they talk about change, I notice they have change.
00:49:39.000 She's been there for 30 years.
00:49:40.000 30 years.
00:49:41.000 There's no change.
00:49:43.000 It's gonna be the same.
00:49:44.000 It's gonna be an extension of Obama, in my opinion, worse.
00:49:48.000 Okay, and he's right.
00:49:49.000 He's totally right about this.
00:49:50.000 Okay, so here, okay, and because there's good Trump, there also has to be bad Trump.
00:49:54.000 Here is Donald Trump on the Geneva Conventions.
00:49:59.000 Last clip, yeah.
00:50:00.000 I think everything's out of date.
00:50:01.000 We have a whole new world.
00:50:03.000 When I said that NATO to Wolf Blitzer is obsolete, I got attacked.
00:50:08.000 Three days later, people that study NATO said, you know, Trump is right. 0.59
00:50:11.000 You know what?
00:50:13.000 We have a lot of things that are out of date because they're 20 and 30 and 40 years old.
00:50:16.000 NATO, you know, this isn't a country from 40 years ago.
00:50:20.000 Today we have a different threat.
00:50:21.000 We have a terror threat and we have an ISIS threat.
00:50:24.000 And by the way, ISIS isn't even mentioned.
00:50:27.000 It's not even mentioned during the Democratic Convention.
00:50:30.000 Okay.
00:50:31.000 And everyone's talking about it.
00:50:32.000 So what he's saying at the end there is exactly right, of course, but this stuff about, he was asked about the Geneva Conventions, and he says they're out of date.
00:50:39.000 No, they really are not.
00:50:40.000 They really are not, in any major way.
00:50:42.000 Anyway, he doesn't know anything about the Geneva Conventions.
00:50:44.000 He was also asked, apparently, whether he would let Russia annex Crimea, and he said, well, he said, I would think about it.
00:50:50.000 He said, sure, I'd think about it.
00:50:52.000 Okay, I think the real answer there is that I'm not sure that he knows either what the word annex means or what Crimea is.
00:50:57.000 The last time he heard about an annex is when he was learning to read at the Learning Annex.
00:51:01.000 But when he says these sorts of things, I don't think he thinks them through.
00:51:05.000 But, you know, this is the choice that we've been given.
00:51:07.000 This is the choice before us.
00:51:09.000 As always, there will be more tomorrow because this election is never-ending.
00:51:12.000 But at least we laugh at the circus, right?
00:51:14.000 I mean, at least we can laugh at the image of Bill Clinton back in 1971 stalking Hillary Clinton.
00:51:20.000 Tonight, it'll get even more fun.
00:51:21.000 Tonight, Barack Obama is speaking at the convention, and he's gonna declare himself emperor, I think.
00:51:26.000 He may actually just—what if he actually just declares himself a woman, and then he's the first female president?
00:51:31.000 I feel like that would be his strongest move tonight.
00:51:33.000 It would really take—it would really take—wouldn't that just destroy Hillary? 1.00
00:51:37.000 Like, he just got up there and he said, you know what?
00:51:39.000 I'm a woman.
00:51:40.000 And then be like, oh my god, he's the first female black president! 0.99
00:51:43.000 Hillary, we have no need for you! 1.00
00:51:45.000 Joe Biden, come on down!
00:51:47.000 Maybe it'll happen.
00:51:48.000 I don't think it will, but I've been proved wrong on everything else this election cycle.
00:51:51.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
00:51:52.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
