Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hillary Clinton constantly whines that people believe conspiracy theories about her.
00:00:04.000 There's a reason for that.
00:00:05.000 Many of the conspiracy theories about her have sort of turned out to be true.
00:00:09.000 The most obvious, Hillary used her position at the State Department to sell favors to foreign nations to help out the Clinton Foundation, her enormous, gigantic slush fund.
00:00:17.000 Here's a list of countries and figures who have benefited thanks to Hillary Clinton's dramatic corruption.
00:00:22.000 Gilbert Chiguri.
00:00:23.000 According to the New York Post, Hillary Clinton's aides, including Huma Abedin and Sheryl Mills, traded their access on behalf of Hillary in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation.
00:00:33.000 In one particular case, Gilbert Chiguri, a billion-dollar donor to the Clinton Foundation, he's like a Nigerian prince type, received access to Hillary via Doug Band, who was leading the Clinton Foundation at the time.
00:00:43.000 Chiguri is a Lebanese-Nigerian businessman.
00:00:45.000 He had to pay a $66 million fine for money laundering, so he fits right into the Clintonian circle.
00:00:50.000 How about the Russians?
00:00:51.000 Hillary essentially allowed the State Department to sign off on the Russian Atomic Energy Agency, Rosatom, taking over a Canadian uranium company with rights to remove uranium from American soil.
00:01:03.000 The Russians, according to the New York Times, ended up with one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.
00:01:09.000 In exchange, the Clinton Foundation received $2.35 million in donations from the chairman of the Canadian company.
00:01:16.000 Bill Clinton got $500,000 for his speech in Moscow.
00:01:19.000 Or how about the Saudis?
00:01:20.000 According to the IB Times, the State Department signed off on a delivery of $29 billion of fighter jet technology to the Saudis.
00:01:28.000 They reported, quote,
00:01:37.000 Furthermore, the contractor making the planes, Boeing, gave almost a million dollars to the Clinton Foundation just about two months before the deal went through.
00:01:44.000 How about the Chinese?
00:01:45.000 Going all the way back to the Clinton's first White House rock and roll tour, Chinese citizens funneled cash into the Democratic coffers, and so did the CEO of a missile technology company.
00:01:54.000 In return, the Clintons worked to declassify missile technology secrets, which were then used by the Chinese.
00:02:00.000 How about Sidney Blumenthal?
00:02:01.000 Clinton hatchet man Sidney Blumenthal.
00:02:03.000 He was working as an unofficial Hillary advisor, as well as an employee for that Clinton Foundation, when he was sending her Libya intelligence that, according to the New York Times, appeared to have come from a group of business associates he was advising as they sought to win contracts from the Libyan transitional government.
00:02:18.000 The venture was ultimately unsuccessful, but it's another brick in the Clintonian wall of corruption.
00:02:22.000 How about a guy named Claudio Osorio?
00:02:24.000 Osorio is a Miami businessman.
00:02:26.000 He served 12 years in prison on corruption charges.
00:02:28.000 He helped use the Clintons to obtain a $10 million loan for a housing project in Haiti after the earthquake.
00:02:34.000 Hillary was ready to use the State Department to push for the loan, too.
00:02:37.000 The company, they never built the homes.
00:02:39.000 They defaulted on the loan.
00:02:41.000 According to an investigator, the company directed $30 million to foreign bank accounts, and the money was not retrievable, according to the Washington Freebreakin.
00:02:48.000 Osorio, a fundraiser for Hillary in 2007, donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Clinton Foundation.
00:02:53.000 That's just some of the stuff that we've gone through.
00:02:55.000 Bill tried to convince Hillary to allow him to give a $650,000 speech in Congo, which is a dictatorship.
00:03:01.000 And it would have included a photo op with the dictators.
00:03:03.000 Bill wanted to take money to speak in North Korea.
00:03:05.000 The list of individuals with corrupt ties to the Clintons is extraordinarily long.
00:03:09.000 Yes, Hillary Clinton is the most corrupt woman ever to run for high office.
00:03:12.000 She's the most corrupt person ever to run for high office.
00:03:15.000 She would sell America's national security down the river.
00:03:17.000 She already has, given that she chose to set up a private email server in violation of law in order to protect her from scrutiny.
00:03:24.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
00:03:25.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:03:33.000 Ah, so much to get to today here on The Ben Shapiro Show, and we welcome you to the number one conservative podcast in the United States of America.
00:03:39.000 But first, we have to welcome an advertiser, a brand-new advertiser, ClubW.com.
00:03:43.000 So, this is for folks who love wine or want to buy wine for friends.
00:03:47.000 They don't have kosher wines, but we did, so I could try out the product.
00:03:50.000 It's this really cool website.
00:03:52.000 What you do is you go to ClubW.com, and they give you what's basically a questionnaire.
00:03:56.000 I took it.
00:03:56.000 It's really neat.
00:03:57.000 And they ask you sort of, what foods do you like?
00:03:59.000 Like, I don't know anything about wine.
00:04:00.000 If somebody asked me to buy a bottle of wine,
00:04:02.000 I wouldn't know what to buy.
00:04:03.000 I'd just go down to the local store and I'd pick up just some cheap hooch.
00:04:06.000 I wouldn't know what to do.
00:04:08.000 But Club W helps you with this because what they actually do is they give you a quiz and it's not what kind of wine do you like.
00:04:13.000 It's like, do you like spicy food?
00:04:15.000 Would you prefer steak to chicken?
00:04:17.000 What kind of food do you like to eat?
00:04:19.000 And then they match your palate to the wine that they recommend that you pick up.
00:04:23.000 It's really fantastic and they send over great wines.
00:04:25.000 We had the ability, thank goodness, to have a party for our employees, because that's just what I need is drunken employees.
00:04:30.000 But they shipped us a bunch of wine.
00:04:32.000 Yeah, you can hear everybody's excited about Club W.com.
00:04:34.000 All of our employees got to taste some of the wines.
00:04:36.000 And according to the employees, I have their testimonials right here.
00:04:39.000 They say that the Malbec
00:04:41.000 We're good.
00:04:58.000 Apparently it worked.
00:04:59.000 So, clubw.com is where all the fun is.
00:05:01.000 They will help you inform yourself as to what kind of wine you should get for your friends, and they are cheap.
00:05:06.000 The wine there is not pricey.
00:05:07.000 We're not talking about $200 bottle of wines.
00:05:10.000 Right now, they're offering listeners $20 off your first order if you go to clubw.com slash ben.
00:05:15.000 Use the slash ben.
00:05:16.000 It reminds them that you're coming via this show, and that helps us.
00:05:19.000 They continue to advertise with us, and that makes sure that all the illegal immigrant boozers in the back here get paid.
00:05:24.000 I don't know.
00:05:39.000 So, lots to get to today, of course.
00:05:42.000 Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, we'll do some good Trump, bad Trump.
00:05:44.000 We do have some—I should note that there is one young man who was very—he had the intrepid nature, and he went out and he actually recorded a little stinger for good Trump, bad Trump.
00:05:55.000 It's not going to be on today's show, but you can look forward to that on Monday.
00:05:58.000 We're very grateful to the people who have done that.
00:06:00.000 Somebody cut, like, an actual intro for the show that we're looking at right now.
00:06:02.000 So, we appreciate our fans, and thank you for doing all of that.
00:06:06.000 And thank you for saving work for our overworked minions in the back.
00:06:10.000 All right, so let's start with Hillary Clinton.
00:06:12.000 So Hillary Clinton continues to be terrible at everything.
00:06:15.000 The good news for Hillary is that all she basically has to do is go comatose for the next three months, go down into her coffin in the bottom of her Transylvanian castle, lie down there, stay there for three months, and she'll be president.
00:06:26.000 That's basically her strategy at this point.
00:06:29.000 She's just going to go into her vampiric basement, never appear in daylight, she'll live, she'll be president of the United States.
00:06:36.000 That doesn't mean she's not corrupt.
00:06:37.000 Jake Tapper of CNN, who's a Hillary ally.
00:06:39.000 I mean, Jake definitely likes Hillary Clinton.
00:06:41.000 He says that Hillary continues to lie about her emails and about everything else.
00:06:45.000 And Jackie, I mean, this does feed into the narrative out there that the Clintons in general don't think that the rules apply to them.
00:06:54.000 Uh, and can't understand why anybody would ever question their ethics or their integrity.
00:06:59.000 This is exactly what the Obama transition team in 2008 wanted to avoid.
00:07:04.000 They wanted a clear delineation between the foundation and the State Department.
00:07:08.000 Fairly vast number.
00:07:28.000 Oh, I want to see the ones that what I really would like to see that we have to see the 33,000.
00:07:33.000 Can you imagine?
00:07:34.000 Remember she said I think it was for her wedding, the wedding of Chelsea, and it was for yoga classes.
00:07:40.000 33,000 emails.
00:07:41.000 It's a lot of yoga.
00:07:41.000 It's a lot of yoga.
00:07:49.000 Yeah, that's good stuff.
00:07:50.000 And that's good, Trump.
00:07:51.000 I mean, I'm glad that Trump was saying that.
00:07:53.000 Unfortunately, there were more pressing things in the news that the media were all over.
00:07:57.000 For example, there was a guy climbing Trump Tower using suction cups.
00:08:02.000 So I don't know what happened here.
00:08:03.000 I have a few theories.
00:08:04.000 I think that maybe Chris Christie just said to Trump, I really, really want to be part of your administration.
00:08:08.000 And Trump said, OK, fatso, go climb the tower.
00:08:11.000 And the next thing you know, it looks like this.
00:08:14.000 You may have read on Facebook or elsewhere that there is some guy climbing Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan right now.
00:08:21.000 These are live pictures from outside.
00:08:23.000 This is some video from just a couple minutes ago.
00:08:25.000 We have live pictures that we're bringing you as well.
00:08:28.000 Trump Tower, of course, is right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, just below Central Park.
00:08:32.000 It's between 56th and 57th streets.
00:08:35.000 And this is the 56th street side of the building, so the south side of the building.
00:08:39.000 And he's been using suction cups
00:08:43.000 One of the locals said he's cupping his way to the top with a reference to Michael Phelps, I suppose.
00:08:47.000 You can see there are workers all around there now, and if you look just to the left of him, in fact, the steadicam and lights for the wall, right here next to him, this is a live view stream, so it goes in and out, but right next to him, you'll be able to see when the picture clears up, that there's a big ventilation system there, and the workers on the inside, we're told, are trying to get, go back to the video, trying to get the
00:09:11.000 Okay, so the media obviously had very important things to cover yesterday, including this guy.
00:09:15.000 They did reach him for comment, and his only comment was, elevators are for cucks.
00:09:19.000 So that was weird.
00:09:21.000 This is actually a video of the guy.
00:09:22.000 He's talking about why he did it, and he looks like a real winner.
00:09:25.000 I mean, he's a Trump fan apparently, but he looks like a Milo Yiannopoulos listener.
00:09:31.000 So here we go.
00:09:33.000 Hello, Mr. Trump.
00:09:35.000 Do excuse my manner of appearance.
00:09:37.000 I just don't know how many people will watch this.
00:09:40.000 I'd rather not be recognized... Camera's over here, buddy.
00:09:44.000 I am an independent researcher seeking a private audience with you to discuss an important matter.
00:09:50.000 I guarantee that it is in your interest to honor this request.
00:09:54.000 Believe me, if my purpose was not significant, I would not risk my life pursuing it.
00:10:00.000 The reason I climbed your tower was to get your attention.
00:10:03.000 If I had sought this via conventional means, I would be much less likely to have success
00:10:08.000 That's gonna happen, yeah.
00:10:25.000 And be sure to get out and vote for Mr. Trump in the 2016 election.
00:10:28.000 Thank you.
00:10:48.000 I don't know.
00:11:03.000 The whole thing's ridiculous.
00:11:05.000 This is what our campaign has become.
00:11:06.000 If we can't have fun with the circus, folks, then why bother going to the circus?
00:11:10.000 The circus is too much fun.
00:11:11.000 Okay.
00:11:11.000 So, in other circusy news, Donald Trump was slamming Hillary Clinton, rightly so, for having sat the father of a terrorist who also believes in the Taliban behind Her Majesty at one of her rallies in Kissimmee, Florida.
00:11:26.000 And then, yesterday, there's another rally, and Trump is doing a rally, and he's talking about exactly this issue, and you'll notice something odd in the background.
00:11:34.000 In the past hour, this time, it was on the other side of the aisle, though.
00:11:39.000 This was at a Donald Trump rally in Fort Lauderdale, still in Florida.
00:11:43.000 Oh, no.
00:11:43.000 The rally actually is still going on right now.
00:11:45.000 Oh, no.
00:11:45.000 But look at this, sitting right behind Donald Trump, spot-shadowed on the stage.
00:11:49.000 We're showing a close-up of him right there.
00:11:50.000 If you recognize him, that is former Congressman Mark Foley from Florida.
00:11:56.000 Now, in 2006, ten years ago, Foley left his seat, his house seat in Florida, after making repeated sexual advances and exchanging, or providing, excuse me, sexually charged material to several young teenage pages, congressional pages, that led to him resigning in the midst of that scandal.
00:12:13.000 And tonight,
00:12:15.000 He's on stage, in the camera shot, at Donald Trump's rally, right behind him there.
00:12:23.000 Okay.
00:12:24.000 What can you say?
00:12:25.000 What can you say?
00:12:26.000 It's not as bad as having the father of a terrorist there.
00:12:28.000 It isn't.
00:12:28.000 I mean, Mark Foley isn't a terrorist unless he's a terrorist in his pants.
00:12:32.000 He's just a terrorist.
00:12:34.000 He's not a terrorist.
00:12:35.000 Only Hillary has the fathers of terrorists to her events.
00:12:38.000 When you're trying to make the case that you're responsible for the people who sit behind you at a rally, and then legitimately, as you're doing that, the person sitting behind you was nailing the pages in his time in Congress.
00:12:48.000 It's just not good strategy.
00:12:50.000 Okay, so all of that is the unserious stuff.
00:12:51.000 Then we get to the actual serious stuff.
00:12:53.000 So now it's time for an early episode of Good Trump, Bad Trump.
00:12:57.000 Yay!
00:12:57.000 Everybody loves some Good Trump, Bad Trump.
00:12:59.000 Okay, so let's start with some Good Trump.
00:13:00.000 So people are considering this Bad Trump.
00:13:02.000 I don't think so.
00:13:03.000 I think that this is actually Good Trump.
00:13:04.000 So here is Donald Trump talking about Barack Obama and ISIS.
00:13:08.000 ISIS is honoring President Obama.
00:13:13.000 He is the founder of ISIS.
00:13:16.000 He's the founder of ISIS, okay?
00:13:18.000 He's the founder.
00:13:21.000 He founded ISIS.
00:13:25.000 And I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton.
00:13:32.000 Okay, so he says that he's the founder of ISIS and Hillary is the co-founder of ISIS.
00:13:37.000 And the media lose their poo.
00:13:39.000 I mean, they just, they lose their minds, they go absolutely nuts.
00:13:42.000 How dare Donald Trump say anything remotely like this?
00:13:47.000 Okay, a couple of quick things.
00:13:48.000 First, on the good Trump side.
00:13:50.000 First, when he says that she founded ISIS, I don't think, and I'm sure that Trump does not actually mean,
00:13:57.000 That what he's talking about is that she sat in a room and wrote the charter for ISIS and Obama signed it.
00:14:01.000 That's not what he's talking about.
00:14:02.000 What he's talking about, and everybody understands this, is he's saying that when Barack Obama pulled out of Iraq and did nothing in Syria, he created the climate that allowed ISIS to rise from being pretty much nothing of a power to being a regional power and to being able to conduct terrorist attacks across the West, right?
00:14:19.000 That's really what he means.
00:14:20.000 But CNN loses their poo about this.
00:14:22.000 Now, what's ironic is that there's a bunch of media reports
00:14:26.000 From, you know, a couple years ago.
00:14:28.000 Talking about, did Bush create ISIS?
00:14:29.000 Like, there was a New Yorker headline, did Bush create ISIS?
00:14:32.000 The Huffington Post asked, did Bush create ISIS?
00:14:34.000 But Trump says, Obama created ISIS, and everybody loses their mind.
00:14:38.000 Everybody goes crazy.
00:14:38.000 So here's CNN.
00:14:39.000 You can't say this, Brian Stalter on CNN.
00:14:42.000 Donald Trump says Barack Obama is the founder of ISIS.
00:14:44.000 Now, on one level, that's a reference to foreign policy decisions by the Obama administration.
00:14:48.000 On another level, that is a coded message suggesting the President of the United States is a traitor.
00:14:53.000 That's what that is.
00:14:53.000 It's a coded message.
00:14:55.000 Shut it.
00:14:55.000 When we repeat that message, and then we come on the air and we fact check it, some people just take away the idea that it's true.
00:15:00.000 They just hear it, and they believe it.
00:15:02.000 In fact, it reinforces people's beliefs in some cases.
00:15:04.000 Okay, so Brian Stelter's a lefty hack, and when Brian Stelter says that, you know, that clearly people are going to take away that Obama's an actual terrorist who founded ISIS, no, nobody's stupid like that.
00:15:16.000 Everybody understands what Trump means.
00:15:18.000 In fact, the left understood it when they were blaming Bush for the creation of ISIS.
00:15:21.000 And Donald Trump is exactly right when he says, look, voters are not fooled by the biased media on this sort of stuff.
00:15:26.000 They get it.
00:15:26.000 They do get it.
00:15:28.000 What has surprised you the most to date about the process?
00:15:33.000 How smart the people of this country are, because they're reading false narratives, they're reading false newspaper articles, and seeing false things on television, and, I mean, really, really biased reporting.
00:15:46.000 And they don't, and you know, here I am, I'm sitting here in a very close race, what will be, and what already is shaping up to be a very close race.
00:15:54.000 So, the people are so smart.
00:15:56.000 They get it.
00:15:57.000 They really get it.
00:15:58.000 And they're seeing it more and more.
00:15:59.000 And I think they're going to get a great lesson.
00:16:03.000 And it's not a fair situation.
00:16:05.000 It's a rigged situation.
00:16:06.000 In a certain way, it's rigged by the media, if you think about it.
00:16:10.000 Okay, so he's right.
00:16:11.000 Okay, all of this is true.
00:16:12.000 When he says that Obama and Hillary created ISIS, of course that's true.
00:16:16.000 Now, when he says co-founder, it's a little bit much.
00:16:18.000 I mean, they didn't found it, but we all know what he means.
00:16:21.000 We all know what he means.
00:16:21.000 And to pretend this is some sort of big deal is absurd.
00:16:23.000 I mean, I'm old enough to remember when Democrats were still putting bumper stickers on their cars that said, Bush lied, Americans died, right, about the war in Iraq, which was absolutely false.
00:16:32.000 I remember that.
00:16:33.000 I remember Barack Obama saying that the American military wasn't doing anything except aerating villages and killing civilians.
00:16:38.000 So, you don't get to play this game, okay?
00:16:40.000 It's a bunch of nonsense.
00:16:41.000 So that's good, Trump, okay?
00:16:42.000 Trump can say that, as long as he can go out there and use this as a leverage point to actually make his real point, right?
00:16:48.000 He says they're co-founders of ISIS, and the media says, no they're not, explain yourself.
00:16:52.000 Good, now he gets to explain himself.
00:16:53.000 What I mean is, Barack Obama called them a JV team, he didn't care about them, he pretended they didn't matter, and then he created every condition necessary, every condition precedent, in order for them to become an actual regional power, right?
00:17:05.000 That's what he has to say.
00:17:06.000 That's what he has to say.
00:17:07.000 Unfortunately, now it's time...
00:17:10.000 For bad Trump.
00:17:11.000 So the problem for Donald Trump is that one of his people told him to go out there and say that they are the co-founders of ISIS.
00:17:17.000 That one is the founder, Obama is the founder, and Hillary Clinton is the co-founder of ISIS.
00:17:21.000 And when asked to clarify this, right now he's being asked to clarify.
00:17:26.000 And the clarification should be pretty easy, right?
00:17:28.000 The clarification should be everything that I just said.
00:17:30.000 Hugh Hewitt, who is a syndicated radio host, I'm friends with Hugh, and Hugh has been doing yeoman's work trying to train Donald Trump on how to be a politician.
00:17:38.000 It's like, somebody tweeted today, I thought it was very funny, they sort of tweeted that Hugh Hewitt trying to coach Donald Trump, and you'll hear it in a minute, is sort of like
00:17:47.000 Hugh Hewitt playing Professor Higgins in My Fair Lady and Gary Busey playing Eliza Doolittle.
00:17:51.000 So here is Hugh Hewitt trying to get Trump to say what he wants him to say, which is what I've been saying, which is, okay, what I really mean by co-founders of ISIS is not that they sat there with a piece of paper and decided that they were fans of ISIS, it's that they created all the conditions for it and watched Trump blow it.
00:18:08.000 The Never Trump Movement says, I've been writing about how important the Supreme Court is.
00:18:11.000 Are they still around?
00:18:14.000 Well, I've been writing about the Supreme Court a lot, and they keep telling me we can't trust Trump on his list of 11.
00:18:19.000 And I wrote, hey, you don't have to trust Trump.
00:18:22.000 If he departs from the list, I trust you, by the way, but if he departs, Mitch McConnell can block your nominee.
00:18:27.000 First, can we trust you to live by that list?
00:18:30.000 And second, if you didn't, would McConnell be justified in blocking your nominee?
00:18:34.000 Yeah, number one, I'm going to live by that list or very close to it.
00:18:37.000 It is possible there'll be somebody outside of that list that has very similar principles, and I think you don't want to totally preclude that.
00:18:44.000 But the answer is yes, I'm living by the list.
00:18:47.000 And yes, he can do whatever he wants, because it'll be either that list or somebody that is very close to it.
00:18:52.000 In fact, I'm thinking about actually naming four or five more people to the list.
00:18:57.000 You know, we have a great list.
00:18:59.000 It's a great list of people.
00:19:00.000 Yeah, I mean, if...
00:19:01.000 We veered from that.
00:19:02.000 I would say block it and I would be very happy with that and I wouldn't even fight it because I won't have to.
00:19:07.000 Last night you said the president was the founder of ISIS.
00:19:10.000 I know what you meant.
00:19:11.000 You meant that he created the vacuum.
00:19:12.000 He lost the peace.
00:19:13.000 No, I meant he's the founder of ISIS.
00:19:15.000 I do.
00:19:15.000 He's the most valuable player.
00:19:17.000 I give him the most valuable player award.
00:19:19.000 I give her too, by the way.
00:19:21.000 But he's not sympathetic to them.
00:19:22.000 He hates them.
00:19:23.000 He's trying to kill them.
00:19:23.000 I don't care.
00:19:24.000 He was the founder.
00:19:25.000 The way he got out of Iraq, that was the founding of ISIS.
00:19:28.000 Well, I have a saying, Donald Trump.
00:19:31.000 The mnemonic device I use is, every liberal really seems so, so sad.
00:19:36.000 E is for Egypt, L is for Libya, S is for Syria, R is for Russia.
00:19:41.000 They screwed everything up.
00:19:42.000 You don't get any argument from me, but by using the term founder, they're hitting with you on this again.
00:19:47.000 Mistake?
00:19:48.000 No, it's no mistake.
00:19:49.000 Everyone's liking it.
00:19:50.000 I think they're liking it.
00:19:51.000 I give them the most valuable player award.
00:19:55.000 And I gave it to him, and I gave a co-founder to Hillary.
00:19:58.000 I don't know if you heard that.
00:19:59.000 Yeah, I did.
00:19:59.000 I did.
00:19:59.000 I played it.
00:20:00.000 Yeah, you said it one second ago.
00:20:01.000 I know what you're arguing.
00:20:02.000 And let me ask you, do you not like that?
00:20:04.000 I don't.
00:20:05.000 I think I would say they lost the peace.
00:20:08.000 They created the Libyan vacuum.
00:20:09.000 They created the vacuum into which ISIS came, but they didn't create ISIS.
00:20:12.000 That's what I would say.
00:20:13.000 Well, I disagree.
00:20:15.000 Alright, that's okay.
00:20:16.000 I mean, with his bad policies, that's why I think he came about it.
00:20:19.000 That's true.
00:20:20.000 And then he just kind of, oh, well, fine, okay, I can't, there's no winning here.
00:20:23.000 Okay, alright, fine.
00:20:25.000 I mean, the rain in Spain falls mainly on the play.
00:20:28.000 I mean, it's just, it's amazing stuff.
00:20:30.000 And really, you got Hugh there saying to him, I'm trying to feed you the right line here, Donald.
00:20:33.000 Just like, open your ears for one second, just do it.
00:20:35.000 And Trump's like, no, no.
00:20:37.000 He founded it.
00:20:38.000 He wrote the document.
00:20:39.000 He founded it.
00:20:40.000 And he was like, no, you mean that he created the vacuum for ISIS to rise?
00:20:44.000 No, I mean he founded it.
00:20:46.000 Like in his basement, he founded it.
00:20:48.000 Him and Hillary, they sat there with Saul Alinsky and they founded it.
00:20:51.000 Let me tell you.
00:20:52.000 Okay, so the good Trump is he could have just said this stuff and then agreed with Hugh Hewitt, who is much smarter than he is, and just been okay.
00:21:00.000 But no.
00:21:01.000 But no!
00:21:02.000 You just have to—he has to go the whole—he has to go the Big Lebowski.
00:21:05.000 He has to go all the way.
00:21:06.000 He's got to go the whole hog.
00:21:08.000 He just can't stop himself.
00:21:09.000 It's like, come on, Donald!
00:21:11.000 For the love of God, get out of your own way!
00:21:13.000 Stop stepping on your own genitals!
00:21:15.000 Like, just stop!
00:21:16.000 Just stop!
00:21:17.000 He was trying to save you!
00:21:18.000 Do you understand?
00:21:19.000 He was your knight in shining armor with those glasses and the hair!
00:21:22.000 He's there!
00:21:22.000 He's trying to save you!
00:21:24.000 Come on!
00:21:26.000 And you just can't take it?
00:21:27.000 You just can't take the lifeline?
00:21:29.000 He's flying by on the helicopter!
00:21:30.000 You're there!
00:21:31.000 You're out there!
00:21:31.000 Unmoored in the middle of Hurricane Katrina!
00:21:33.000 He's flying by on the helicopter!
00:21:34.000 And he's dropping down the rope to you!
00:21:36.000 Just grab it!
00:21:36.000 Just grab it!
00:21:38.000 You don't have to say you're making a mistake.
00:21:39.000 Notice, Hugh doesn't say, are you making a mistake, until about five questions into that cycle, right?
00:21:44.000 First he says, what you really meant is this, right?
00:21:46.000 And Trump goes, no, I didn't mean that.
00:21:49.000 Yes, you did!
00:21:49.000 And you know you did!
00:21:51.000 Or maybe you don't.
00:21:52.000 Maybe all that happened is your advisors told you, just say that they're the founders and the co-founders of ISIS, and that's all you know, because you don't think beyond five seconds.
00:21:59.000 Because here's the problem.
00:22:00.000 Trump doesn't actually believe any of this stuff.
00:22:01.000 Here's the proof Trump doesn't actually believe any of this stuff.
00:22:04.000 So Donald Trump, you know, he said that what he really means, and what Hugh says he means, and I agree with Hugh, what he means is Barack Obama created the conditions that made it possible for ISIS to rise, right?
00:22:15.000 That's what he means.
00:22:17.000 That's what he means.
00:22:18.000 There's only one problem.
00:22:20.000 There is someone else who is calling in 2007 for a full-scale withdrawal from Iraq of all troops, which would have led to the rise of ISIS, and his name was Donald Trump.
00:22:29.000 Here is Donald Trump circa 2007.
00:22:31.000 How does the United States get out of this situation?
00:22:34.000 How do they get out?
00:22:36.000 They get out.
00:22:37.000 That's how they get out.
00:22:38.000 Declare victory and leave.
00:22:40.000 Because I'll tell you, this country
00:22:43.000 It's
00:23:00.000 We're keeping the lid on a little bit, but the day we leave anyway, it's all going to blow up.
00:23:05.000 And Saddam Hussein will be a nice person compared to the man, and it will be a man, it will not be a woman, that we understand.
00:23:12.000 People say, oh gee, you didn't give the women a chance.
00:23:15.000 It will be a man.
00:23:16.000 Compared to the person that takes over for Saddam Hussein, he will be considered a nice person.
00:23:21.000 This guy will be the meanest, the worst guy, and he'll have one thing, one thing,
00:23:26.000 He will hate America and he'll use that to flame.
00:23:29.000 So, I mean, this is a total catastrophe.
00:23:32.000 And you might as well get out now because you're just wasting time.
00:23:35.000 Okay.
00:23:36.000 Okay.
00:23:37.000 There you have it.
00:23:37.000 So this is the reason why Donald Trump couldn't just say that the conditions that were created for ISIS led to the rise of ISIS.
00:23:43.000 Because Donald Trump was making the same case in 2007.
00:23:45.000 We can all pretend that Donald Trump just randomly appeared on the scene, but he doesn't.
00:23:48.000 He has a history, and that's the problem.
00:23:50.000 Donald Trump isn't a blank slate.
00:23:52.000 He may be blank in the head, but he's not a blank slate by any stretch of the imagination.
00:23:56.000 Okay, we have to cut off the Facebook live feed here.
00:23:58.000 If you want to see the rest, go to dailywire.com, where everything is visible.
00:24:02.000 Go to iTunes and SoundCloud and all the rest.
00:24:08.000 Okay, so Donald Trump can't stop himself, right?
00:24:12.000 He just can't stop himself.
00:24:13.000 And it's very frustrating.
00:24:15.000 It's very irritating, I'm sure, to all the Trump supporters who are saying all of this.
00:24:19.000 And the media don't need an excuse to go after Trump.
00:24:22.000 Trump just gives them an excuse.
00:24:24.000 Trump just gives them an excuse.
00:24:27.000 So Trump, when he attacks the media, he's right.
00:24:29.000 So here, for example, Donald Trump is attacking Don Lemon.
00:24:31.000 He says that Don Lemon is dumb as a rock.
00:24:32.000 Dan Bongino, you were fantastic in defending both the Second Amendment and me last night on CNN.
00:24:36.000 Don Lemon is a lightweight, dumb as a rock.
00:24:39.000 He spelled lightweight correctly this time.
00:24:41.000 And says that Don Lemon is dumb as a rock.
00:24:42.000 Okay, and that's true.
00:24:44.000 Here's a little bit of CNN cutting off all the people who are unfriendly to Hillary.
00:24:48.000 They've been doing it over and over.
00:24:50.000 Anytime you mention anything bad about Hillary, CNN cuts it off.
00:24:53.000 Even as she calls for criminal justice reform because of her support in the 1990s for anti-crime legislation that ultimately helped contribute to this era of mass incarceration that she now speaks out again.
00:25:09.000 We just lost Brianna Keillor.
00:25:13.000 With some Trump supporters, let's play what they said.
00:25:17.000 David Duke and people like that, they come out from under the rocks all the time around this time this year.
00:25:23.000 It's got nothing to do with Donald Trump.
00:25:25.000 We're all Americans.
00:25:26.000 I think we need to stop with all the racist stuff and the race being.
00:25:29.000 Like me and my friend right here, we just met today and we was talking.
00:25:32.000 You know, we gotta stop with the racist stuff and this, that.
00:25:35.000 We're all Americans, man.
00:25:37.000 And nobody paying David Duke no mind.
00:25:41.000 Um, clearly, let me just be clear here.
00:25:44.000 Obviously, the majority of Donald Trump supporters are not African American.
00:25:47.000 I don't know how many African Americans were in that building, but that is one person that we have chosen to cut that sound from.
00:25:57.000 You know that there was an entire year... Okay, this is... We're not going to relitigate that.
00:26:00.000 No, Amy, we're not going to relitigate that.
00:26:01.000 Let me talk.
00:26:02.000 Let me talk.
00:26:02.000 You can't make things up.
00:26:03.000 Not if you're going to invent things, okay?
00:26:05.000 You can say your comments, say your opinions.
00:26:07.000 I'm not going to invent things, but the FBI also said... You just did.
00:26:09.000 You can't, Amy.
00:26:10.000 Nope, nope.
00:26:11.000 No, ma'am.
00:26:11.000 No, ma'am.
00:26:11.000 You cannot invent things.
00:26:12.000 Yes, the FBI also said... Ma'am.
00:26:13.000 No, ma'am.
00:26:14.000 ...that she has not turned over... Ma'am.
00:26:15.000 ...she didn't turn over all the emails.
00:26:16.000 So, there you have it.
00:26:17.000 No, ma'am.
00:26:18.000 You cannot invent things.
00:26:19.000 You cannot say... You're putting out incredibly inflammatory information.
00:26:21.000 You don't know...
00:26:23.000 So, if you're gonna talk about Hillary Clinton, then bring Hillary Clinton's actions into it.
00:26:26.000 Don't bring her husband's actions into it.
00:26:28.000 I'd like to bring Hillary Clinton's actions into it.
00:26:30.000 Absolutely.
00:26:30.000 She was given the choice between standing with a serial sexual abuser... Alright, Kurt.
00:26:35.000 Stop.
00:26:35.000 Stop.
00:26:35.000 Stop.
00:26:36.000 Stop.
00:26:36.000 Stop.
00:26:37.000 Stop.
00:26:37.000 Stop.
00:26:38.000 Stop.
00:26:38.000 Stop.
00:26:39.000 Stop.
00:26:40.000 That's not fair.
00:26:42.000 That's not fair.
00:26:43.000 That's not fair.
00:26:43.000 Can we stop that, please?
00:26:44.000 It is not fair.
00:26:45.000 It is not fair.
00:26:46.000 It is a low blow.
00:26:48.000 It is the... Yes, I want to end this.
00:26:50.000 This is the lowest of the low, and it has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton.
00:26:54.000 It is just a cheap shot that... Can we please stop?
00:26:56.000 Can we stop?
00:26:57.000 Can we cut him off, please?
00:26:59.000 Thank you.
00:27:01.000 Thank you.
00:27:01.000 We're done.
00:27:02.000 Thank you.
00:27:03.000 We'll be right back.
00:27:06.000 I don't know.
00:27:22.000 Stupid, plodding, robotic campaign.
00:27:24.000 She's saying crazy left things, and none of it's getting covered because Trump is sucking all the oxygen out of the room.
00:27:29.000 Now, the media are looking for him to do that, but you don't have to do it.
00:27:33.000 You don't have to walk into a giant open field of landmines and rakes and then decide to step on every object you can find.
00:27:40.000 At some point, you're going to have to just stop doing it.
00:27:42.000 You're going to have to stop doing it.
00:27:44.000 What this has led to is a level of desperation inside some of the more ardent Trump halls.
00:27:50.000 There are a couple of different branches of the Trump voter.
00:27:54.000 There are the people who I fully understand, I'm sympathetic to.
00:27:58.000 These are the people who say, I'll hold my nose and I'll vote Trump.
00:28:00.000 Yeah, he's a crap show.
00:28:01.000 Yeah, he's a risk.
00:28:02.000 But a risk is better than a certainty of Hillary Clinton.
00:28:05.000 All right.
00:28:05.000 This is a Dennis Prager position.
00:28:06.000 I get it.
00:28:07.000 I understand.
00:28:07.000 This is the Hugh Hewitt position, too.
00:28:09.000 I totally understand.
00:28:09.000 Then, there are the people who are actively supporting Trump and did during the primaries and thought that he is the great god-king who is going to save us all.
00:28:16.000 Those people are starting to get desperate.
00:28:18.000 I'm not hearing this so much from the kind of reluctant Trump supporters who understand why people like me say we're not going to vote Trump.
00:28:25.000 Like, I say, look, I'm just bringing you information.
00:28:27.000 You make your own call.
00:28:29.000 I'm not going to fault you at all if you want to vote Trump.
00:28:31.000 I'm not going to fault you if you don't want to vote Trump.
00:28:33.000 You're an adult.
00:28:34.000 Make your own decision.
00:28:35.000 I'll bring you information.
00:28:36.000 You'll decide for yourself whether you think the risks of a Trump presidency outweigh the risks of a Hillary Clinton presidency.
00:28:42.000 And again, I can see it both ways.
00:28:44.000 I really can.
00:28:45.000 Maybe I'll change my mind at some point.
00:28:48.000 I don't have to reiterate this point again.
00:28:50.000 The reasons why I think that it's okay not to vote for Donald Trump is, first of all, because I think that Donald Trump is going to pervert the conservative movement.
00:28:58.000 I'm about to show you evidence of that.
00:28:59.000 Second, because I think that if Trump loses and you just spent all your political credibility pushing a man who's said and done so many terrible things, you're sinking yourself for the next generation.
00:29:09.000 If we just ignore all of the bad things Trump does in order to vote for him, and then he loses by 10, you don't get victory, and you don't get the next generation of voters, because the next generation of voters hates Trump.
00:29:19.000 He's winning 9% of the under-30 vote, 1% of the black vote, and he's in negative numbers among women.
00:29:25.000 He's got a problem.
00:29:26.000 And finally, you know, the final reason is you have to determine morally for yourself.
00:29:30.000 There are two moral considerations, and they are in competition.
00:29:33.000 One is the lesser of two evils arguments, which again, I fully understand.
00:29:36.000 And the second is, are you morally going to sign off on a man who's totally unpalatable as a human being?
00:29:42.000 I mean, the man is not a good man.
00:29:43.000 He's a bully.
00:29:44.000 He's a braggart.
00:29:46.000 He's a man who mistreats women.
00:29:49.000 He does all these things.
00:29:50.000 We don't have to rehash them.
00:29:51.000 We understand he's personally disreputable.
00:29:53.000 He's a moral junkyard.
00:29:54.000 But you can say the moral consideration is the effect on the country of Hillary's president.
00:29:58.000 That'll be worse.
00:29:59.000 I'll vote for him anyway.
00:30:00.000 There's a separate moral consideration, and that is you have to determine whether the new standard for you voting always is just better than the Dem.
00:30:08.000 Better than the Dem.
00:30:09.000 If that's the new standard, then you pick Bill.
00:30:11.000 If that's the new standard, then Barack Obama might be better than Hillary Clinton.
00:30:15.000 Or Hillary might be better than Obama.
00:30:16.000 Maybe we just pick the most successful Dem who's not going to do as much damage.
00:30:19.000 You get into some real dicey territory.
00:30:20.000 So in other words, this is a complex moral problem.
00:30:23.000 It's not easy.
00:30:24.000 Anybody who claims that this is easy, the never-Trumpers claiming, oh it's easy, I just wake up in the morning and I know, screw it.
00:30:28.000 No.
00:30:29.000 It's not easy.
00:30:30.000 And the people on the other side say, oh, it's an easy call.
00:30:32.000 I don't even understand this.
00:30:33.000 It's not that easy, gang.
00:30:34.000 It's not that easy.
00:30:36.000 The people who try to make it easier are the people who are getting desperate right now.
00:30:38.000 And those people are saying that it is immoral, immoral, not to back Donald Trump.
00:30:43.000 So Sean Hannity was on with Laura Ingraham.
00:30:47.000 And both Hannity and Ingraham decided that it was worthwhile to go off.
00:30:51.000 Like, it's going to convince people like me and people who doubt Trump if you just yell at us and tell us that we're bad people if we don't vote for Trump.
00:30:57.000 Here's Sean Hannity doing that last night.
00:30:58.000 Is it time now for Republicans who refused to endorse Donald Trump?
00:31:02.000 Are they now sabotaging his campaign?
00:31:05.000 Because if they continue to do what they're doing, and Hillary Clinton wins, will they be responsible for supporting Hillary Clinton's radical left-wing agenda?
00:31:13.000 Now, these are the people I'm talking about.
00:31:15.000 Time to name names.
00:31:16.000 Bill Kristol, former Governor Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Ben Sasse, Lindsey Graham, Meg Whitman, and many, many others.
00:31:25.000 If they keep up their stubborn, their stupid game, and continue to lick their wounds, well, this is what they will be responsible for.
00:31:32.000 Just to give a few examples.
00:31:34.000 Get my point?
00:31:34.000 All you stubborn Republicans out there?
00:31:36.000 Hillary Clinton?
00:31:37.000 Well, she's proven she does not have the character.
00:31:39.000 She does not have the temperament to be the president.
00:31:41.000 It's ours.
00:31:42.000 It's all those people's fault.
00:31:43.000 It's not Sean Hannity's fault for the entire primary season gazing lovingly at Donald Trump.
00:31:47.000 That's not Sean Hannity's fault for pushing him above the other candidates.
00:31:50.000 And I know Sean has this shtick where he says that he treats everybody equally during the primaries.
00:31:54.000 That's not...
00:31:55.000 Particularly true.
00:31:56.000 He treated Trump with kid gloves during the primaries.
00:31:58.000 Everybody was commenting on it.
00:31:59.000 Everybody noticed it.
00:32:00.000 He's obviously good friends with Donald Trump.
00:32:02.000 That's okay.
00:32:03.000 That's fine.
00:32:03.000 He's allowed to be.
00:32:04.000 But to blame us now for the guy that you picked, the guy that you wanted to be president of the United States, the one who you said was going to be able to move on without the support of conservatives,
00:32:14.000 You know, that seems a little bit disingenuous.
00:32:16.000 Also, I have to point out here that all the people saying that those who won't vote Trump are responsible for Trump failing, I don't recall four years ago when they were saying that about the current Trump supporters.
00:32:25.000 What I recall is them saying now, look at Donald Trump, he's bringing all these new voters from nowhere.
00:32:30.000 Where was the blame for those people for not showing up in 2012?
00:32:33.000 Where was it?
00:32:34.000 If they're Trump voters and they were really supposed to be loyal to the principles Sean Hannity likes, why didn't they show up in 2012 and vote for Romney?
00:32:40.000 But I don't remember an iota of recrimination from Sean Hannity to those new voters that Trump is supposedly bringing in.
00:32:47.000 This is disingenuous, but it gets worse.
00:32:49.000 Sean is blaming everybody except himself and except the people who pushed Trump for the nomination, even though there have been people warning since last year that if Trump is the nominee, this is going to be a disaster area.
00:33:00.000 Laura Ingram's even worse.
00:33:01.000 So Laura Ingram, who actually spoke at the Republican National Convention, here is Ingram telling conservatives that they're bad people.
00:33:07.000 They're not just wrong.
00:33:08.000 They're not just responsible for Hillary, but again, it's so silly.
00:33:12.000 You picked Trump in the primaries, okay?
00:33:14.000 It's on you.
00:33:15.000 Take responsibility.
00:33:16.000 If Cruz had won and then he lost, that would be on me because I voted for him and I pushed him in the primaries.
00:33:21.000 Okay, Laura Ingraham though, she goes even further.
00:33:23.000 She says, you're legitimately an immoral human being if you don't back
00:33:28.000 A guy who brags about his adultery, says that he won't repent before God, backs virtually all of the Democratic agenda before one audience or another, and is slightly to the right of Hillary Clinton on some issues and slightly to her left on others.
00:33:40.000 If you don't support that guy, you're a bad human being, according to Laura Ingraham.
00:33:44.000 And they want to supposedly feel cleansed of the sin of voting for Donald Trump.
00:33:48.000 And you laid out, with excruciating detail, just a few of the reasons why Hillary Clinton would be disastrous for this country.
00:33:59.000 I would make the argument, I think very persuasively as well, Sean, that if you call yourself a conservative and a Republican, it's actually immoral not to vote for Donald Trump, if only for the reason of the Supreme Court.
00:34:13.000 The Supreme Court will outlive us.
00:34:15.000 This generation of jurists and its effect...
00:34:18.000 So this argument we get all the time, right?
00:34:19.000 It's immoral because you're handing the Supreme Court over to Hillary.
00:34:21.000 As I've expressed, I think the Supreme Court is gone already because I don't think that Donald Trump—I don't think Donald Trump is going to nominate a conservative for the Supreme Court.
00:34:29.000 Also, I don't think he's going to win, so it's a moot point anyway.
00:34:32.000 So just take my—I'm willing to entertain the counterfactual.
00:34:36.000 Trump wins.
00:34:37.000 He's great.
00:34:38.000 I apologize.
00:34:38.000 My bad.
00:34:40.000 If Trump loses, and he loses badly, and we now have to live off the legacy of Trump, right?
00:34:45.000 Every time somebody asks us, for the rest of our lives, every time somebody says, you know, you say that you like black people, you say that you like Hispanic people, you say that you're not anti-woman, where were you when Donald Trump was going soft on the KKK?
00:34:59.000 You know, there are costs to this.
00:35:00.000 There are costs to this.
00:35:01.000 This moral calculation is not quite as simplistic as Laura Ingram would like to make it, or Hugh Hewitt, or Dennis Prager.
00:35:07.000 You know, it's worse with Ingram for sure.
00:35:10.000 I think that Dennis acknowledges to some degree, I think Hugh does too, acknowledges to some degree the moral complexity of the question.
00:35:15.000 But to pretend that this is an easy call on either side, I acknowledge that it's a difficult call on my side.
00:35:21.000 I get up every morning and I think to myself, am I doing the wrong thing?
00:35:23.000 And if you're not doing this in this election cycle, you're not thinking through the issues clearly.
00:35:28.000 So all I would recommend is give ear to the other side, listen to what they're saying.
00:35:31.000 I know what a terrible, horrible President Hillary is going to be.
00:35:34.000 She's going to destroy the country.
00:35:36.000 I just think the country may already be destroyed and the only hope to replace or to restore what's good about the country is a vibrant conservative movement that has not been converted to Trump's brand of soft, Democrat, big government nationalist
00:35:50.000 Nationalist kind of ethno-nationalism.
00:35:53.000 Alright, so, time for some things I like, things I hate, and then the mailbag.
00:35:56.000 So, things I like when doing sci-fi movies all week, this one is of course a classic, but it's still, it's amazing, it's one of these movies that's so quoted that people think it's overrated and it's actually underrated as a film.
00:36:07.000 Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan.
00:36:09.000 Everybody quotes this film all the time, but very few people apparently have seen it beginning to end.
00:36:13.000 Everybody always, you know, kind of uses the catchphrases, right?
00:36:15.000 You've got James T. Kirk William Shatner in full William Shatner mode, screaming at the camera, Kahn!
00:36:22.000 Right?
00:36:22.000 I mean, you see it all the time, especially when Donald Trump is attacking the Kahn family.
00:36:26.000 You see it on Twitter, Kahn!
00:36:28.000 But here is, you know, here's a clip from Star Trek 2.
00:36:31.000 It's a great movie.
00:36:31.000 It's a great movie.
00:36:45.000 From hell's heart, I stab at thee.
00:36:50.000 For hate's sake, I spit my last breath.
00:36:59.000 I love it.
00:37:00.000 It's so over-the-top and wonderful.
00:37:03.000 First of all, he's quoting Moby Dick, which is one of my favorite books, so that's always great.
00:37:07.000 It's a terrific movie.
00:37:09.000 It really holds together well.
00:37:10.000 The score is great, Jerry Goldsmith.
00:37:11.000 It's a really, really good movie.
00:37:13.000 Okay, Things I Hate.
00:37:14.000 Trevor Noah was going after Donald Trump.
00:37:17.000 Trevor Noah is the worst comic in the history of comedy.
00:37:20.000 He's actually redefined comedy as tragedy.
00:37:23.000 He is legitimately an untalented, hacky, ridiculous man, who because he has, I think he's, is he from South Africa?
00:37:30.000 I think he's from South Africa.
00:37:31.000 He has a South African accent, so that makes him think that he's sophisticated and everybody, it's like John Oliver on HBO.
00:37:36.000 He has the British accent, so people think he's smarter than he is.
00:37:39.000 The problem is for Trevor Noah, it doesn't work, because he says so many stupid things.
00:37:42.000 So here's Trevor Noah going after Donald Trump.
00:37:45.000 I'm not buying this.
00:37:47.000 I believe Donald Trump was making a joke.
00:37:51.000 And then because of the backlash, his team has tried to play it off as something else.
00:37:54.000 But I know a joke when I see one.
00:37:56.000 More importantly, I know a stand-up comedian when I see one.
00:38:01.000 Yeah, because I'm a stand-up comedian.
00:38:03.000 Donald Trump is a stand-up comedian.
00:38:06.000 You see it every single time he's on the stage.
00:38:08.000 He riffs, he roasts, you know, he does some impersonations.
00:38:11.000 He's a stand-up comedian.
00:38:12.000 It's just, you've never looked at it that way before.
00:38:15.000 I'm not eating Oreos anymore, you know that.
00:38:17.000 But, neither is Chris.
00:38:19.000 You're not eating Oreos anymore.
00:38:21.000 Anthony Weiner, you know, the little bing bing bing.
00:38:25.000 Bom bom.
00:38:26.000 I never attack him on his look, and believe me, there's plenty of subject matter right there.
00:38:32.000 It moves this way.
00:38:34.000 It moves that way.
00:38:36.000 What would you want your Secret Service codename to be?
00:38:39.000 Humble.
00:38:41.000 Here's the problem with Rubio.
00:38:43.000 When you sweat that much, the guy walks in and he's soaking wet and sweating.
00:38:48.000 Hello?
00:38:50.000 Hello?
00:38:50.000 Can I have some water?
00:38:52.000 It's Rubio!
00:39:00.000 You see?
00:39:02.000 You see?
00:39:05.000 He's a comedian.
00:39:06.000 He's a stand-up comedian.
00:39:09.000 We were all spending so much time focusing on his racism and sexism and xenophobia and threats to democracy that we missed all the jokes.
00:39:18.000 We need to put him away.
00:39:19.000 We need to put him away in some underground, windowless room.
00:39:23.000 That's what we need to do.
00:39:27.000 So we got Trevor Noah and he's saying that Trump is a comedian.
00:39:29.000 This is true.
00:39:29.000 Trump is an entertainer.
00:39:31.000 Here's the problem.
00:39:31.000 He's ripping on Trump being an entertainer playing at politics.
00:39:35.000 Do you own a mirror?
00:39:37.000 Do you own a mirror?
00:39:38.000 Okay, this is what Comedy Central has become.
00:39:39.000 Jon Stewart used to do this too.
00:39:41.000 Half of the Trevor Noah jokes are not jokes.
00:39:43.000 Half of Trevor Noah's jokes are political statements about people on the right, or supposedly on the right, and then he gazes weirdly into camera.
00:39:50.000 He's not even good at it.
00:39:50.000 Jon Stewart was good at it.
00:39:51.000 He'd make the funny face.
00:39:53.000 Right?
00:39:53.000 And then everybody would laugh.
00:39:54.000 He'd have his audience of trained jackals laughing in the background.
00:39:58.000 That's exactly what Trevor Noah does, too.
00:40:00.000 He's just not good at it.
00:40:01.000 This is what—you wonder why Trump has gone where Trump has gone.
00:40:04.000 Trump has gone where he's gone because of Jon Stewart and Trevor Noah and John Oliver and all of these people who—you read the headlines.
00:40:10.000 John Oliver destroys X, right?
00:40:12.000 Trevor Noah destroys X.
00:40:15.000 That's not what comedy is about, right?
00:40:16.000 I mean, presumably comedy is about actually being funny.
00:40:19.000 But they're treating them the same way they would treat me in a debate with Piers Morgan, right?
00:40:22.000 If you go online, you'll see Ben Shapiro destroys Piers Morgan on gun control.
00:40:25.000 What you'll see is Trevor Noah destroys Donald Trump on racism.
00:40:28.000 Okay, yeah, but I'm a political guy, right?
00:40:30.000 I'm not a comedian.
00:40:31.000 He's a comedian.
00:40:31.000 He's not a political guy, but you can't tell the difference anymore.
00:40:34.000 And that's how you end up with politicians who are comedians, and comedians who are politicians, and Al Franken in the Senate.
00:40:38.000 That's how you end up with that.
00:40:40.000 Okay.
00:40:41.000 Final thing that I hate.
00:40:42.000 So, Hillary Clinton,
00:40:44.000 Hillary Clinton is now pitching Mormon voters in a Utah newspaper.
00:40:48.000 She wrote an op-ed on Wednesday in the Mormon, the LDS owned newspaper, the Deseret News.
00:40:55.000 And it's this whole thing about how she loves religious freedom.
00:40:59.000 And she writes, and I can't do a Hillary Clinton impersonation because I have human DNA.
00:41:03.000 She writes, I'm running for president to make sure our country continues to live up to our founding principles.
00:41:10.000 Oh, she's not joking.
00:41:10.000 She says, those timeless ideas teach us that we're stronger together when we work in unison to solve our problems no matter what we look like.
00:41:17.000 And then she gets to this.
00:41:19.000 I've been fighting to defend religious freedom for years.
00:41:23.000 No.
00:41:24.000 You haven't, you lying, cackling old crone.
00:41:28.000 No, you haven't.
00:41:30.000 She says that she stood up for the rights of religious minorities around the world like Coptic Christians in Egypt.
00:41:34.000 How about Christians in Syria?
00:41:35.000 You've been standing up for them?
00:41:37.000 Missed that part.
00:41:38.000 The Yazidi have been having some trouble.
00:41:40.000 You may have noticed the Jews in that part of the world having a little bit of trouble.
00:41:42.000 Missed that.
00:41:43.000 Also missed the part where you're not trying to force bakers who are religious to bake cakes for gay weddings.
00:41:48.000 Missed the part where you don't believe that religious schools should be forced to pay the insurance programs of gay couples.
00:41:53.000 Missed all of that.
00:41:55.000 I love that she writes this whole thing pretending that she's pro-religious liberty.
00:41:58.000 She's not pro-religious liberty.
00:42:00.000 She's not pro-religious liberty.
00:42:01.000 It's absurd.
00:42:02.000 She says, when it comes to religion, we strive to be accepting of everyone around us.
00:42:05.000 That's because we need to be.
00:42:07.000 And we often know it takes a village or a ward working together to build the change we hope to see.
00:42:11.000 Let's be honest, there's a lot we need to accomplish.
00:42:14.000 And then she lists off a bunch of her priorities.
00:42:16.000 This is nonsense.
00:42:17.000 She doesn't care about religious liberty.
00:42:18.000 The proof is that her Democratic Party in the state of California
00:42:21.000 We're good.
00:42:40.000 That's what Hillary Clinton wants out of life.
00:42:41.000 She doesn't believe in religious liberty.
00:42:43.000 She doesn't believe in First Amendment liberty.
00:42:44.000 She certainly doesn't believe in Second Amendment liberty.
00:42:46.000 Hillary Clinton is a real threat to freedom.
00:42:48.000 The problem is there are no good solutions.
00:42:50.000 As long as we're doing Star Trek, we have a Kobayashi Maru problem here.
00:42:53.000 And there is no way out, okay?
00:42:55.000 There is no trick that James D. Kirk can use to reprogram the computers.
00:43:00.000 There's no way out but through.
00:43:01.000 We have to go right through this utter tornado of crap that we've created for ourselves.
00:43:06.000 It's no fun.
00:43:08.000 A final thing that I hate.
00:43:09.000 I lied.
00:43:10.000 One more.
00:43:10.000 Donald Trump is supposed to want to win this election, right?
00:43:13.000 I was under the impression that he wanted to win this election.
00:43:16.000 Here is Donald Trump this morning talking about this election cycle.
00:43:19.000 All I do is tell the truth.
00:43:20.000 I'm a truth teller.
00:43:21.000 All I do is tell the truth.
00:43:23.000 And if at the end of 90 days I fall in short because I'm somewhat politically correct, even though I'm supposed to be the smart one, and even though I'm supposed to have a lot of good ideas, it's okay.
00:43:34.000 You know, I go back to a...
00:43:36.000 A very good way of life.
00:43:37.000 It's not what I'm looking to do.
00:43:38.000 I think we're gonna have a victory, but we'll see.
00:43:42.000 Okay, so that's the voice of a man who's already given up on life right there, right?
00:43:45.000 I mean, when he says, you know, if I lose, then we'll go back home to the farm.
00:43:51.000 He's already suggesting that, like, this is the point in races where everybody says they're going to win.
00:43:56.000 I mean, have you ever seen a political press conference on the day of the election?
00:43:59.000 Somebody will be down 15 points in the polls, and they still want people to go out and vote, and they'll say, yeah, I'm going to win today.
00:44:03.000 I'm going to win today.
00:44:04.000 Trump, it's now August—what's the date today?
00:44:06.000 August 11th?
00:44:08.000 And Donald Trump is still going out, he's already going out there three months in advance of the election and saying, well, yeah, I may lose, but the good news is I'm super duper rich.
00:44:16.000 Okay, that's not good news for any of his supporters.
00:44:18.000 All right, mailbag time.
00:44:20.000 Andrew writes, I feel those saying we need to lie for Trump are essentially leftists themselves.
00:44:23.000 Is it not the tactic of the left that if you lie for the right reasons, it's justified, the ends justify the means?
00:44:28.000 I mean, I agree with that.
00:44:29.000 I think that the idea that you have to make excuses for Donald Trump's stupid, that when Donald Trump says things and your first reaction is,
00:44:36.000 Yeah, well, it's not that bad.
00:44:38.000 As opposed to, no, it's really bad.
00:44:39.000 He's still better than Hillary because Hillary's a corrupt old crone, but one of those is okay, one of those is not.
00:44:44.000 You don't have to lie about your man.
00:44:46.000 If your man is not the absolute disaster area that Donald Trump is, then you don't have to lie about him.
00:44:51.000 I didn't support Mitt Romney in the primaries in 2012.
00:44:54.000 I didn't.
00:44:54.000 I thought that Mitt Romney was too far to the left.
00:44:56.000 He was the only man in America who'd created Obamacare via Romneycare.
00:44:59.000 He was very soft on same-sex marriage when he was the governor of Massachusetts.
00:45:02.000 There were a lot of holes in his—he'd raised taxes in Massachusetts.
00:45:05.000 There were a lot of holes in Mitt Romney's record.
00:45:07.000 And I was not a Romney fan in the primaries.
00:45:09.000 And then I said, OK, well, I don't have to lie about his record.
00:45:12.000 I'll continue to hit him on Romneycare.
00:45:13.000 I'll continue to hit him on all these areas where he's not conservative enough.
00:45:16.000 But I can pull the trigger for him in good conscience.
00:45:19.000 If you're doing that for Trump right now, fine, more power to you.
00:45:21.000 But don't lie about your man.
00:45:23.000 Well, for your sake, you should hope
00:45:31.000 Christian writes, what's your take on Julian Assange's comments regarding the DNC staffer Seth Rich?
00:45:51.000 And the rumor he was intending to leak DNC staff emails to the FBI when he was shot dead in an attempted robbery.
00:45:56.000 Well, I don't believe anything Julian Assange has to say until he provides evidence of it, because Julian Assange is not somebody who has America's interests at heart.
00:46:03.000 He's obviously very closely tied to the Russian government as well.
00:46:09.000 My feeling about assassinations is pretty simple.
00:46:11.000 When people are assassinated, typically we all know about it.
00:46:14.000 Secret assassinations are relatively rare.
00:46:16.000 Usually when someone's assassinated, it's like Leon Trotsky gets an ice pick through the eyeball because it's a warning to all the other Trotskyites.
00:46:23.000 When JFK gets shot, he gets shot in front of the entire city of Dallas.
00:46:26.000 When people are assassinated, pretty much everybody knows about it.
00:46:29.000 So the idea that this guy was shot on a dark street, it's something out of House of Cards, and it's the reason I don't like watching shows like House of Cards, because politics is dramatic and annoying enough as it is.
00:46:38.000 You don't actually need to ratchet it up to the next level in order to make it exciting.
00:46:43.000 Todd writes, Hi Ben, the Trump campaign recently sent out an email stating if you donate three bucks, you'll be entered to win a trip to New York City to meet with the Trump team and discuss opinions on the campaign.
00:46:51.000 If you won, what would your message be to Donald Trump?
00:46:55.000 Oh well.
00:46:56.000 Okay, if I had to discuss opinions on the campaign, my first opinion would be drop out right now and just let Mike Pence take your slot.
00:47:01.000 But, since that's not going to happen, my advice to Donald Trump would be get on teleprompter, stay on teleprompter, never get off of teleprompter, surround yourself with good people, and show that you're taking their advice repeatedly.
00:47:13.000 Don't make big boo-boos.
00:47:15.000 If you do make big boo-boos, immediately acknowledge the boo-boo and move on.
00:47:18.000 That would be the advice.
00:47:19.000 And none of that's very tough, but he's not going to do any of those things.
00:47:21.000 Ricardo writes, First of all, sign up for our email list, the Ben Shapiro email list.
00:47:24.000 You can do that at Daily Wire.
00:47:26.000 We have an email list.
00:47:26.000 You can also do it
00:47:41.000 By emailing me at bshapiro at dailywire.com and we'll add you to our email list that goes out every day.
00:47:46.000 At the bottom of the email every day, or virtually every day, is an action item.
00:47:49.000 Something you can do to make the country a better place.
00:47:51.000 And we try to give people things to do because everybody is very frustrated at this point.
00:47:54.000 Kevin writes, Hey Ben, newly subscribed, hopefully that makes your day.
00:47:57.000 It does!
00:47:58.000 Thank you for subscribing.
00:47:59.000 Eight bucks a month, gang, and you too can be part of the vaunted mailbag.
00:48:02.000 Quick question.
00:48:03.000 With Hillary's email scandal still unraveling, more details coming out every week, what is the deed that really hurts her?
00:48:08.000 What previous act that comes to light will finally be recognized by the mainstream media as corrupt or treasonous?
00:48:13.000 Nothing.
00:48:14.000 The answer is nothing.
00:48:15.000 There will be nothing that will be recognized as corrupt or treasonous by the mainstream media.
00:48:18.000 It's obvious already that she's been deeply corrupt and that she's put America's national security at risk.
00:48:23.000 They don't care.
00:48:24.000 The only thing that would attach to Hillary Clinton at this point is one, if she were caught on tape saying the N-word, or two, if she were involved in some sort of deep-seated sex scandal.
00:48:31.000 Those are the only two things that could actually hurt Hillary Clinton at this point.
00:48:35.000 Both are possible, but we have no evidence of either yet, so okay.
00:48:38.000 John writes, hi Ben.
00:48:39.000 We've been praying for Lindsay.
00:48:40.000 Hope her mother and family are doing well.
00:48:42.000 Thanks for asking.
00:48:43.000 We will give you the updates on Lindsay as she sort of makes them public.
00:48:46.000 But yeah, continued prayers for Lindsay and her mom.
00:48:48.000 Always appreciated.
00:48:49.000 My question is about college football.
00:48:51.000 With your recent experience being banned from DePaul as the result of SJWs trying to silence opposing viewpoint, I'm wondering what your opinion is on the letter-writing campaign initiated by LGBT groups to try to strong-arm the Big 12 into not inviting BYU because of their stance on traditional marriage.
00:49:06.000 It seems to me this is hypocritical.
00:49:08.000 Of course this is hypocritical.
00:49:09.000 Of course it's hypocritical.
00:49:10.000 And again, trying to kick all of the religious schools sort of out of the pantheon of decent schools, this is something the left wants to do.
00:49:17.000 Their goal is to make pornography public and religion private.
00:49:20.000 That's the goal of the left.
00:49:21.000 Final one.
00:49:22.000 Ricardo writes, can we have economic conservatism without social conservatism?
00:49:26.000 Also, Edge of Tomorrow is a great movie.
00:49:27.000 Yes.
00:49:28.000 Yes, Edge of Tomorrow is a great movie.
00:49:29.000 Economic conservatism without social conservatism, you can ideologically, it's very difficult practically, because without a socially moral people, without a biblically moral people, forget biblical moral, just a basically moral people along Judeo-Christian lines, it's very difficult to have an economically conservative country, because people tend to do bad things and then want other people to pay for them, and if you're immoral, you have no problem taking other people's stuff because you made a mistake in your life.
00:49:53.000 Okay, final.
00:49:53.000 Sorry, one more question because this one is I think important.
00:49:56.000 Jared writes, Hey Ben, I need some advice.
00:49:58.000 My cousin, she just turned 18, has decided she is no longer a girl but she is a boy.
00:50:02.000 She's even doing shots of testosterone.
00:50:03.000 I feel like she just wants to try and turn herself into Kurt Cobain.
00:50:06.000 Any advice on what to do with the situation?
00:50:08.000 Thanks for your time.
00:50:09.000 Jared, my heart goes out to you.
00:50:10.000 My heart goes out to your cousin.
00:50:11.000 I feel terrible for your cousin.
00:50:13.000 Obviously, she's suffering.
00:50:14.000 Obviously, she's got a mental illness.
00:50:17.000 I mean, this is a mental illness.
00:50:18.000 If you think that you're a boy and you're actually a girl and you're mutilating your body in order to achieve that, I feel awful for you.
00:50:23.000 All I would say is that if you have any input at all, say to her, you're a beautiful person.
00:50:28.000 You don't have to change who you are physically in order to accommodate how you feel.
00:50:33.000 You know, you can make your own choices in life, but mutilating your body, making decisions that are going to not make your life any better in the long run, that are going to turn you into something that you're not, if you really feel comfortable with yourself, then you should be comfortable enough to be who you are without chopping off body parts or taking injections or any of the rest of it.
00:50:54.000 I would urge her to get treatment.
00:50:56.000 I mean, it's a brutal situation.
00:50:58.000 I mean, as somebody who's had mentally ill people in my family, it's a horrifying, difficult situation, and all I can say is I pray for you, I pray for her, and really urge her to get some compassionate care, not politically driven care that suggests that she can magically transform herself into a man, because she can't.
00:51:13.000 I'm sorry, she can't.
00:51:14.000 And there's just a reality to it, and the suicide rates prove it.
00:51:17.000 It's not going to help her, it's just going to make her miserable, because she already obviously has serious issues that need to be dealt with.
00:51:23.000 I'm Ben Shapiro, we'll be back next week with more Try Not To Ruin Things While I'm Gone, at least more than you've ruined them already.
00:51:29.000 We'll be back, and we'll see you next week.
