Ep. 165 - Milwaukee Burns, The Left Celebrates


Summary

Black rioters riot in response to a police shooting of an armed black man who apparently tried to turn on a white police officer, burning cars and looting stores, hurling rocks at the cops, and attacking random white passersby. Our first black president, sent from on high to unify the country on all issues racial, has gone golfing. The sheriff of Milwaukee, a black man, has now stated that Americans ought to focus less on reforming the police and more on fixing the ghetto, and the media blame him for the problem. Milwaukee hasn t seen a Republican mayor since 1960, but the media and Democrats will find a way to blame Trump, white Americans, and capitalism. After all, they ve been doing that for decades. The left has been preparing for this sort of activity, virtually begging for it, since the racial conflagrations of the 60s and 70s. Leftists like former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry used riots and looting as a pressure tactic to force local government to cave to the left's agenda. Now, major American cities have been turned into wastelands, so the Left has an excuse to impose its big-government, high-tax agenda and blame white Americans in the process. It s all about to get worse, not better, thanks to the media, the left and the Democrats. It s going to continue to blame all the people leftists tell them to blame, not Trump, not the police, and not the white people they tell them they should be working with them to make communities livable. Ben Shapiro: It s a tragedy, and it has to stop, and we have to stop it, and they have to get a grip on the situation, or it s all going to get better, not worse, and better, and that s all the more horrible, and more livable, not less livable and less violent, and things will get better. - Ben Shapiro - The Ben Shapiro Show - The Weekly Standard - Subscribe to the Ben Shapiro Podcast - Subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscribe on iTunes Learn more about your ad choices and become a supporter of the show Subscribe on Audible Subscribe on Podchaser Subscribe on PODCASMR Subscribe on YouTube Learn more on the Podcharts Subscribe on Spare Spaceship Pod - Like and Share on Social Media - Share on Insta-Friendship Subscribe on Gratitude & Share on Websites Subscribe on Weeds and Shout out to Instapaper Subscribe on Itunes

00:00:00.000 Milwaukee is on fire, and it's on fire because black rioters decided that a black officer shooting an armed black man who'd stolen a gun who apparently attempted to turn on police required burning of cars and looting of stores and hurling of rocks at the cops and attacking random white passersby.
00:00:16.000 Our first black president.
00:00:18.000 The great god-like figure sent from on high to unify the country on all issues racial has gone golfing.
00:00:23.000 The sheriff of Milwaukee, a black man, has now stated that Americans ought to focus less on reforming the police and more on fixing the ghetto, and the media blame him for the problem.
00:00:32.000 Milwaukee hasn't seen a Republican mayor since April 1960, but the media and Democrats will find a way to blame Trump, white Americans, and capitalism.
00:00:40.000 After all, they've been doing that for decades.
00:00:41.000 The left has been preparing for this sort of activity, virtually begging for it, since the racial conflagrations of the 60s and 70s.
00:00:48.000 Leftists like former D.C.
00:00:49.000 Mayor Marion Barry, they used to use riots and looting as a pressure tactic to force local government to cave to the left agenda.
00:00:57.000 Now, major American cities have been turned into wastelands, so the left has an excuse to impose its big-government, high-tax agenda and blame white Americans in the process.
00:01:06.000 Leftist philosophy.
00:01:07.000 It's been passed along in the mother's milk of Milwaukee's residents.
00:01:10.000 No wonder one rioter explained the motivations behind the looting like this, quote, the rich people got all this money and they not like, you know, trying to give us none.
00:01:19.000 This is the complete victory of the Marxist substitution of racial warfare for class warfare.
00:01:24.000 In the 60s, Marxists realized that their strategy of dividing Americans between rich and poor wouldn't succeed because everybody was kind of getting rich.
00:01:31.000 Instead, they shifted their focus to racial conflict.
00:01:33.000 They told minorities they could never succeed in America thanks to the capitalist system that would naturally oppress them.
00:01:38.000 The outcome?
00:01:39.000 People rioted in the streets on the basis of race, while believing that they were rioting on the basis of class.
00:01:45.000 Things are about to get worse, not better, too, thanks to the media and the Democrats.
00:01:48.000 The riots are going to continue.
00:01:49.000 Police will continue to pull out of dangerous areas, fearing that their lives will be ruined if they shoot a bad guy with a gun.
00:01:55.000 The black officer in this case has had to go into hiding thanks to the situation.
00:02:00.000 The murder rate, of course, will increase.
00:02:01.000 In 2015, Milwaukee experienced the most murders it had since 1993.
00:02:05.000 There's a 70% spike over 2014.
00:02:09.000 People will feel victimized, and they'll blame all the people leftists tell them to blame, rather than working with police to tamp down the crime rate and make communities livable.
00:02:17.000 It's all a tragedy, and it has to stop.
00:02:19.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
00:02:20.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:02:25.000 So, first off, I want to thank our newest advertiser, Boland Branch.
00:02:30.000 Boland Branch is a sheet company.
00:02:31.000 They make sheets, and it's spectacular.
00:02:33.000 I gotta say, I don't know much about sheets.
00:02:35.000 Like, I'm the guy who would drive past a gas station who would say, thousand thread count sheets, ten dollars, and I'd think, oh my god, that's a lot of threads in one sheet!
00:02:42.000 That sounds great!
00:02:43.000 And then I'd sleep on it, and it turns out that it's actually like a plastic tarp.
00:02:46.000 If you actually don't know anything about sheets, or how they work,
00:02:49.000 Then you need to go to bollandbranch.com, and the reason that you need to go to bollandbranch.com is because not only are their sheets fantastic, it's all made from pure 100% organic cotton.
00:03:00.000 I've tried their sheets.
00:03:01.000 You put it on the bed last night.
00:03:03.000 Wow.
00:03:03.000 Wow.
00:03:04.000 It's a whole different level.
00:03:05.000 And they don't have middlemen, so you can buy directly from them, so you're paying basically wholesale prices.
00:03:09.000 Really nice sheets, like really nice sheets.
00:03:11.000 They can cost like $1,000.
00:03:12.000 Bolland Branch, you're talking a couple of hundred bucks.
00:03:14.000 Which sounds expensive for a sheet, but it really isn't when you consider that you're sleeping on one every single night, and it makes a huge difference.
00:03:20.000 I can tell you, I got the best night's sleep last night I've had in months because of Boland brand sheets.
00:03:24.000 They really are terrific.
00:03:25.000 Three U.S.
00:03:26.000 presidents and a bunch of celebrities sleep on Boland brand sheets, including Bill Clinton is one of those presidents.
00:03:31.000 That means presidents and celebrities sleep on that one set of sheets, if you're Bill Clinton.
00:03:35.000 The shipping is free.
00:03:36.000 You can try out their sheets.
00:03:37.000 For 30 nights, and if you don't like them, you send them back for a refund, too.
00:03:40.000 So you can try them out and see if you like them, but you're not going to want to send them back.
00:03:42.000 They're really, really good.
00:03:43.000 And right now, if you go to bullandbranch.com and use the promo code BEN so they know it's me sending you, you get a 20% discount off your entire order, which is a lot of money.
00:03:53.000 I mean, when you're talking about a $200 set of sheets, that's $20 right off the top.
00:03:57.000 That's bullandbranch.com, promo code BEN, and they come beautifully packed.
00:04:00.000 You have these really pretty boxes that my daughter is playing with right now.
00:04:03.000 It's bullandbranch.com.
00:04:05.000 Promo code Ben.
00:04:06.000 Check it out.
00:04:07.000 It's fantastic.
00:04:07.000 B-O-L-L and branch.com.
00:04:09.000 Okay.
00:04:10.000 So, lots to get to today.
00:04:11.000 We begin with the situation in Milwaukee.
00:04:13.000 So, another week, another riot.
00:04:16.000 So, this time there's a riot over a black guy getting shot by a black cop.
00:04:21.000 So, this just proves to you that it's not the racist, white, evil cops who are after the black people.
00:04:26.000 It turns out that the black evil cops are after black people, too.
00:04:28.000 Basically, you stick on that uniform and you may as well be putting on a white sheet.
00:04:32.000 Not a Bull and Branch sheet, but like a white sheet with a hood.
00:04:34.000 So, in any case, the Milwaukee police, they're already announcing the shooting was justified.
00:04:38.000 They have clear video evidence.
00:04:40.000 The guy had a gun on him.
00:04:41.000 He apparently turned on the cop and the cop shot him.
00:04:44.000 Here's the Milwaukee police explaining just that.
00:04:46.000 Right now, police and city officials are discussing the body camera video that the police officer had on him when he did shoot that suspect.
00:04:54.000 The police chief says the video makes it clear that the shooting was within lawful bounds.
00:05:00.000 The mayor says he saw a still shot, essentially a photo of that video that he says shows that the suspect did have a gun on him.
00:05:09.000 And the police have yet to release that video and the number of the protesters last evening were saying they want to see that video.
00:05:15.000 Police say they're still conducting their investigation and they're not yet going to do so.
00:05:20.000 Okay, so first off, worth noting, again, this is a black cop who did the shooting.
00:05:24.000 There are statistics that show that black cops are more likely to shoot black suspects than white cops are, because white cops are afraid that they're going to be run through the mill.
00:05:30.000 But apparently it applies to black cops, too.
00:05:32.000 We, of course, saw that in Baltimore, where it's a majority black police force, and that hasn't stopped the Department of Justice from calling the black police force racist for picking on black people.
00:05:41.000 So the natural response to all of this, of course, is when a black guy pulls a gun on a cop, and it's a stolen gun, and turns around and gets shot by the cop, and it's a black cop, my natural response is to go steal some hair extensions.
00:05:51.000 I don't know about you, but that's my thing.
00:05:53.000 I like stealing hair extensions.
00:05:55.000 So, you know, that's actually what happened.
00:05:57.000 People decided that it's time to loot and riot.
00:05:59.000 Here is, uh, here's a freedom fighter in Milwaukee, uh, stealing some, stealing some hair extensions, because those hair extensions were just
00:06:06.000 They were cultural appropriation, they were aspects of white supremacy, and so this delightful human being is stealing a bunch of hair extensions, presumably from a black-owned shop, which is just the way that you fight in favor of freedom.
00:06:18.000 See, here's the logic, I think.
00:06:19.000 The logic is the police, they're not targeting enough criminals.
00:06:22.000 So I'm gonna be a criminal, and then the police can target me.
00:06:24.000 Or maybe that's not the logic.
00:06:25.000 Maybe there's not any logic.
00:06:26.000 Maybe they just want some hair extensions.
00:06:27.000 I mean, maybe that might be more logical.
00:06:29.000 Or maybe they're burning cars over there, destroying cars over there, because the cars are elements of white supremacy.
00:06:35.000 I mean, if you look at this car, the first thing I saw when I saw this car, first of all, it's a black car, so I don't know why they're so upset about it.
00:06:40.000 But it's a black car, and they're destroying it because presumably cars are just an extension of the evil white racist capitalist system.
00:06:48.000 This car particularly must have done something to a black person at some point because they are pissed off and here's how it goes with this car.
00:07:18.000 Black power means beat the crap out of the car.
00:07:20.000 Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but you know, there you have it.
00:07:23.000 I guess that that's, if you think that's striking back against the man, I suppose.
00:07:27.000 Also, they chanted black power, these rioters, as they burned down a gas station, so that was exciting.
00:07:31.000 They had some fun.
00:07:33.000 Okay, so they're burning down a gas station and shouting black power, which seems, again, very logical.
00:07:45.000 See, the thing is that when black people want gas, the last place they'd want to go is to a gas station.
00:07:49.000 They presumably want to go to some culturally appropriate gas center.
00:07:54.000 I don't know.
00:07:54.000 I can't—no, actually, I don't have an explanation for this.
00:07:57.000 I gotta be—I gotta be real.
00:07:58.000 They're burning down a gas station in their own neighborhood and shouting black power, and I'm failing to see how this is—how burning down a gas station that's probably owned by a minority person, given the area where this is taking place, why that exactly is an element of black power.
00:08:11.000 But apparently, it is.
00:08:13.000 Also, also, the rioters were targeting white people, which makes perfect sense, since a black cop shot a black guy, so the white people are to blame.
00:08:20.000 So here is the—here is the Milwaukee rioters targeting white people.
00:08:24.000 Black vote!
00:08:25.000 Black vote!
00:08:26.000 Black vote!
00:08:26.000 Black vote!
00:08:27.000 Black vote!
00:08:28.000 Black vote!
00:08:29.000 Black vote!
00:08:29.000 Black vote!
00:08:30.000 Black vote!
00:08:31.000 Black vote!
00:08:32.000 Black vote!
00:08:33.000 Black vote!
00:08:34.000 Black vote!
00:08:55.000 Let's go!
00:09:00.000 If you're wondering, it's kind of late.
00:09:01.000 Why don't these people go to sleep so they can go to their job in the morning?
00:09:04.000 It's because they don't have jobs, presumably.
00:09:06.000 And so they're shouting black power and chasing the white people all over the city of Milwaukee.
00:09:09.000 And this, of course, means that white people are the problem, right?
00:09:14.000 Clearly, this is because of all the evil white people.
00:09:16.000 And some of these people were kind enough to sort of explain that.
00:09:19.000 Here are some of the agitators yelling at the police.
00:09:22.000 So that was amusing, the agitators yelling at the cops.
00:09:25.000 Watch that.
00:09:28.000 The cops, the, I believe they're calling the cops.
00:09:32.000 Yeah.
00:09:54.000 One of the amusing things about this sort of thing is that you're allowed to use this sort of language with regard to the cops, but, and none of the people who are into gay rights will care about it because after all you're just yelling it at the police officers, so it's totally fine.
00:10:07.000 Okay, but there were a couple people who explained what their agenda was, and I think it's important to understand the agenda of people who are stealing hair extensions, burning cars, breaking cars, running after white people in the streets.
00:10:16.000 It's very important to understand what their real gripe is, because after all,
00:10:20.000 I mean, I gotta be honest, I don't really see the gripe after a cop shoots an armed suspect who tries to pull a gun on the cop.
00:10:26.000 I like, call me crazy, but I just don't see why that leads to riots.
00:10:31.000 Fortunately, we have this fine gentleman to explain.
00:10:35.000 It's sad because, you know, this is what happened because they're not helping the black community.
00:10:39.000 Like, you know, the rich people, they got all this money and they're not like, you know, trying to give us none.
00:10:44.000 Aha.
00:10:45.000 And there you have it.
00:10:46.000 The rich people, they've got all this money and they're not giving it to us.
00:10:50.000 See, it used to be, in a moral universe, this would be called robbery.
00:10:53.000 See, when you think that somebody else has money and they're not giving it to you, so you burn things down, that would be called looting, robbery.
00:11:00.000 It's immoral.
00:11:01.000 It's immoral.
00:11:02.000 I have people I know who are significantly richer than I, but I have never yet thought to myself, you know what I'm gonna do?
00:11:07.000 I'm gonna burn my neighbor's car.
00:11:09.000 This only comes about because you have generations of people being told that all of the problems with their life are the result of the system.
00:11:16.000 They're the result of racist cops who are keeping them down, the result of racist police officers who are shooting them for no reason or taking them off to jail for no reason.
00:11:23.000 It's the result of a racist system that's coming after them.
00:11:26.000 Now, worth noting, this supposedly racist system has been run by Democrats literally since April 1960.
00:11:30.000 There has not been a Republican mayor of Milwaukee.
00:11:33.000 Since, let's see, I was born in 84, since 24 years before I was born.
00:11:37.000 Okay, the year that John F. Kennedy was elected was the last time that there was a Republican mayor in the city of Milwaukee.
00:11:44.000 Well, that doesn't seem to matter to these folks.
00:11:46.000 They say that the big problem is all the evil white people who are keeping them down and not redistributing the wealth.
00:11:51.000 You wonder why Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are in favor of these kinds of riots?
00:11:55.000 You wonder why they seem so soft on this kind of activity?
00:11:58.000 Because they are the natural outgrowth of an ideology that they spout.
00:12:02.000 If the ideology is that nothing you do in life is going to allow you success, and therefore your only outlet is violence and rage and rioting,
00:12:10.000 Well then, you shouldn't be surprised when there's a lot of violence and rage and rioting.
00:12:14.000 And a lot of failures, and no success, and tremendous racism.
00:12:18.000 The left, by the way, will claim that none of this is racist.
00:12:20.000 It's okay, it's not racist because black people can't be racist.
00:12:22.000 Watch these rioters, okay, you're gonna now watch some rioters talking about what they think of white people and whether they want white people in their communities.
00:12:29.000 We're back on vacation.
00:12:30.000 We do not want justice or peace anymore.
00:12:32.000 We're done with that.
00:12:33.000 We want blood like y'all want.
00:12:35.000 We want the same as y'all want.
00:12:37.000 Eye for eye.
00:12:38.000 No more peace.
00:12:40.000 Ain't no more peace.
00:12:42.000 Ain't no more peace.
00:12:44.000 We cannot cohabit right with white people.
00:12:47.000 One of us has to go.
00:12:48.000 Black or white.
00:12:49.000 Y'all got to go.
00:12:51.000 Let these people get their pain out.
00:12:53.000 Y'all ain't got a clutch.
00:12:54.000 They hurt.
00:12:58.000 They're saying, if you can't hear them properly, they're shouting at the police officers and they're saying that we can't cohabitate with white people anymore.
00:13:05.000 We don't want to be anywhere near white people.
00:13:06.000 White people are the problem.
00:13:08.000 Okay, except that in Baltimore, the majority of the police force is black.
00:13:11.000 It doesn't seem to matter.
00:13:11.000 The bottom line is that law and order is the problem, because law and order only works if you trust the system that the law and order is based on.
00:13:19.000 The enforcement mechanism for an evil society, those are the bad guys, right?
00:13:23.000 If you lived in Nazi society, there's law and order in Nazi society, too.
00:13:27.000 But the people who are enforcing the law and order, those were the bad guys, because they were enforcing on behalf of an immoral, evil system.
00:13:33.000 I remember I was in a CNN green room one time with Van Jones, who's sort of a racial agitator, former green job czar at the Obama administration.
00:13:41.000 We were sitting there, we were about to go on CNN, and we started talking about exactly this topic.
00:13:46.000 It was during the Ferguson riots.
00:13:49.000 I said, well, I don't understand.
00:13:50.000 Why is the solution to attack the cops?
00:13:52.000 I mean, you need more cops in these communities to ensure that there's law and order so that people can actually invest in the communities, there can be better business.
00:13:59.000 Why can't we agree on this?
00:14:01.000 And he says, you know how Jews think of Nazis?
00:14:05.000 That's how a lot of black people think of the police.
00:14:07.000 In other words, they're the enforcement mechanism for an evil state.
00:14:10.000 And this has been what's so irritating about this particular election cycle, is that Donald Trump left an opening on the right because he keeps talking about how America's a really terrible place, and the left has started talking about how America's a great place.
00:14:23.000 But the left doesn't believe America's a great place.
00:14:25.000 The left believes America is an awful place.
00:14:27.000 The left believes America is awful and sexist and racist and terrible.
00:14:30.000 They believe that the system is just corrupt and evil.
00:14:34.000 They believe that it's horrible in every possible way it can be.
00:14:37.000 And therefore, anybody who enforces that system is now the bad guy.
00:14:41.000 You're now the enforcement wing.
00:14:42.000 You're the enforcement wing of the bad guys, right?
00:14:45.000 The cops are now the people who are enforcing a system that's destroying your life.
00:14:50.000 That's the idea here.
00:14:51.000 And if you believe that, then of course you're going to riot.
00:14:54.000 Of course things are going to get worse and not better.
00:14:57.000 That mentality is not going to bear any dividends for black folks living in the inner city.
00:15:01.000 It certainly is not.
00:15:01.000 It's actually going to cripple them.
00:15:02.000 It's going to ensure that people living in downtrodden areas like Milwaukee, those people are now trapped in a spiral of violence and crime they can't get out of.
00:15:10.000 Because every time somebody says, okay, let's put some more resources there to stop the crime, they say, wait, those resources are just the bad guys on behalf of the evil regime.
00:15:20.000 When you talk down America as racist,
00:15:22.000 Doesn't matter if the police are racist or not.
00:15:24.000 They're representative of racist America.
00:15:26.000 That's why it's so nasty and negative what President Obama has done.
00:15:29.000 He's going golfing.
00:15:30.000 He doesn't care.
00:15:30.000 He doesn't care about any of this.
00:15:32.000 It's amazing how the media treat Obama with kid gloves.
00:15:34.000 There's another flood in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
00:15:36.000 Five people have died.
00:15:37.000 Have you seen Obama in Baton Rouge, Louisiana?
00:15:39.000 No.
00:15:39.000 He's of course nowhere nearby.
00:15:40.000 He's golfing somewhere.
00:15:42.000 I'm old enough to remember during Hurricane Katrina when it was the end of the world.
00:15:44.000 Bush was a racist for not doing the Superman routine, going up and holding up the levees himself.
00:15:51.000 Obama, who pledged the waters would recede if he was president, he goes golfing in the middle of a massive flood in Louisiana that largely affects black people.
00:15:58.000 Nobody cares.
00:16:00.000 All of this is devastating, and it's terrible, and it's going to get worse, not better, because the left has a vested interest, a vested interest in calling America evil, and terrible, and awful.
00:16:10.000 That is their vested interest.
00:16:12.000 And then, when this stuff happens, they act like it's a big surprise.
00:16:14.000 They act like it's a terrible surprise.
00:16:16.000 We have to end the Facebook Live here, but we have much, much more coming, including
00:16:19.000 A great episode of Good Trump, Bad Trump.

00:16:39.000 The number one conservative podcast in America, The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:16:48.000 Alrighty, so, we continue now, and the left, as I say, they're very surprised any time there's some sort of race riot, right?
00:16:55.000 They create the conditions for these things, and they're surprised when the race riots happen in their city.
00:16:59.000 They would prefer the race riots would happen in Republican areas, but there are very, very few race riots in areas dominated by Republicans.
00:17:06.000 Why?
00:17:06.000 Because Republicans don't spend their lives telling black people that the system is corrupt and evil.
00:17:11.000 They say instead, look,
00:17:12.000 Every individual is responsible for his own or her own fate in a free system like the United States.
00:17:17.000 Democrats don't say that.
00:17:18.000 They say, if something's bad, go and take it out on the system.
00:17:22.000 And any store that you go to is representative of capitalism, even if it's owned by a black person.
00:17:27.000 Any cop is representative of the state, even if it's a black guy.
00:17:30.000 You wonder why black cops are being treated in Baltimore and Milwaukee the same way white cops are?
00:17:34.000 You slap on that uniform, you're now representative of the evil state.
00:17:37.000 You wonder why black stores get looted and nobody seems to care?
00:17:40.000 The reason is because those stores are representatives of an evil business capitalism that is keeping the black man down.
00:17:46.000 At least that's how the left preaches it.
00:17:48.000 And people who refuse to stand for this sort of stuff, they just get lit up.
00:17:52.000 So Milwaukee Sheriff David Clark, who's a Republican, he spoke at the RNC.
00:17:56.000 Here's what he had to say about what's driving all of this.
00:18:01.000 But I think it's important to point out as well, because we tend to gloss over this stuff.
00:18:05.000 We keep focusing on the police.
00:18:07.000 We keep focusing on the police.
00:18:10.000 And I've said publicly before, stop trying to fix the police, fix the ghetto.
00:18:13.000 And I've talked about those urban pathologies that have to be addressed to shrink the size of the underclass.
00:18:22.000 We've had the growth of an underclass here in Milwaukee.
00:18:25.000 You saw some of their behaviors on display last night.
00:18:28.000 So you shrink the size of the underclass.
00:18:30.000 How do you do that?
00:18:30.000 You reduce poverty.
00:18:31.000 You fix the schools.
00:18:33.000 You put people back to work, meaningful work.
00:18:36.000 You hold people accountable for effective parenting and some of those lifestyle choices, which sometimes means if they're going to go out and engage in certain behaviors that society says we're not going to put up with, there have to be sanctions.
00:18:48.000 And that's where the criminal justice system comes in.
00:18:51.000 That's where the prosecutor's office comes in.
00:18:53.000 And I look around, just about everybody in this room has heard me over the last five
00:19:01.000 Years.
00:19:02.000 Minimum.
00:19:03.000 Talking about the role of the criminal justice system, the prosecutor's office, the sentencing practices in this area in Milwaukee County.
00:19:13.000 And, I don't know, I guess people didn't think it played a big role, but we're seeing it now.
00:19:17.000 Not just last night, but we're seeing it time and time again.
00:19:21.000 When some individual goes out and does something heinous, we look and they have a long, lengthy criminal history that nobody applied any sanctions to.
00:19:28.000 Or any meaningful sanctions, let's put it that way.
00:19:31.000 And that, of course, is exactly right.
00:19:32.000 But the media rip him up and down.
00:19:33.000 You remember when he was on with Don Lemon, and he said exactly this about the Black Lives Matter movement.
00:19:37.000 He said, these people are out there covering up for crime.
00:19:40.000 They're destroying the law and order system, the way of life.
00:19:43.000 And Don Lemon refused to hear it.
00:19:45.000 He didn't want to hear it at all.
00:19:47.000 Maybe the most amusing thing about all this, and it's all grim humor because none of it's amusing.
00:19:50.000 It's all terrible.
00:19:51.000 Here's a Milwaukee mayor, Tom Baird, a Democrat, saying the cops aren't to blame, and you can see he looks stunned.
00:19:56.000 He doesn't even understand how this happened.
00:19:57.000 After all, he's a Democrat.
00:19:58.000 It's not supposed to happen to Democrats, even though virtually every major riot for the last 50 years has happened in a Democrat-controlled city.
00:20:05.000 I also have to say this, though.
00:20:07.000 I have not seen the video.
00:20:10.000 There was a body camera that the officer was wearing.
00:20:14.000 That video
00:20:16.000 will be under the jurisdiction for the time being of the state of Wisconsin because the state of Wisconsin will be conducting the investigation.
00:20:25.000 I have, however, seen a still photo extracted from that.
00:20:31.000 And that still photo demonstrates, without question, that he had a gun in his hand.
00:20:42.000 And I want our community to know that.
00:20:45.000 That he had a gun in his hand.
00:20:48.000 Now, the police officer didn't know it at the time, but there were 23 rounds in that gun, which means that he had more bullets in his gun than the police officer had in his gun.
00:21:03.000 And at the appropriate time, the state of Wisconsin will make available that body cam video because there will be questions.
00:21:12.000 Undoubtedly, there will be questions that arise from that.
00:21:14.000 But I want our residents and anybody who is watching this to understand that what that police officer encountered was an individual running who had a gun in his hand.
00:21:27.000 Okay, and that's exactly—but you can see he's stunned by this, right?
00:21:29.000 I mean, he looks stunned.
00:21:30.000 He looks like, how could this possibly happen?
00:21:33.000 Why in the world is all of this happening?
00:21:35.000 Why is it happening to me?
00:21:36.000 And the answer is because you've promulgated a view, just like all these other Democrats, that the system is racist, the system is rigged, and the system is terrible, and therefore every cop who comes in is just a stormtrooper on behalf of the system.
00:21:46.000 They're all just—they're all just the stormtroopers of the empire working for Darth Vader.
00:21:52.000 And so if you see that uniform, you know the bad guys are coming.
00:21:55.000 Okay.
00:21:55.000 To move on to the awful presidential race, to move on from awful racial news to awful presidential race, Hillary Clinton continues to be corrupt.
00:22:02.000 And so the question becomes, why exactly is Hillary Clinton doing so well?
00:22:05.000 Because right now, Hillary Clinton is doing extraordinarily well in the polls.
00:22:09.000 Not nationally, but if you look on the state level, she's doing very, very well.
00:22:13.000 And so the question becomes, why is she doing—why is she winning so big?
00:22:17.000 I mean, here are the latest polls, just so you know.
00:22:19.000 Right now, she's currently leading in Pennsylvania.
00:22:21.000 These are the RealClearPolitics poll averages.
00:22:23.000 She is tied in Indiana.
00:22:24.000 She's leading in Pennsylvania by 9.2%.
00:22:26.000 Michigan by 6.6%.
00:22:26.000 Ohio by 2.6%.
00:22:26.000 Virginia by 8%.
00:22:27.000 New Hampshire by 8.2%.
00:22:27.000 Georgia by 0.3%.
00:22:27.000 Florida by 3.6%.
00:22:28.000 Iowa by 0.4%.
00:22:28.000 Wisconsin by 9.4%.
00:22:28.000 Colorado by 11%.
00:22:29.000 North Carolina by 2%.
00:22:29.000 Nevada by 2.3%.
00:22:30.000 Trump is barely leading in Arizona and Missouri.
00:22:47.000 Okay, this is a disaster area.
00:22:48.000 The electoral map is ugly, ugly, ugly.
00:22:50.000 So, look, I think part of it is obviously due to Trump.
00:22:53.000 But part of it is due to the fact that there's an information theory that was promulgated by a guy named George Gilder.
00:23:00.000 So George Gilder has a theory of the economy.
00:23:02.000 His theory of the economy is that basically the economy is like a phone line.
00:23:07.000 You can hear—the best sorts of economies are like a phone line.
00:23:09.000 You can hear the other person clearly.
00:23:11.000 There's not a lot of static on the line.
00:23:12.000 Government regulation is the static on the line.
00:23:14.000 It's what creates the mess-ups between the people who are on the line.
00:23:18.000 And then, whatever you say to the other person, that's new information that's being conveyed across the line, and that impacts the economy.
00:23:24.000 That impacts the line.
00:23:25.000 Right?
00:23:25.000 The same thing holds true in politics.
00:23:27.000 If you are a candidate who adds no new information to the system, the status quo applies to you.
00:23:32.000 If you're a candidate who adds lots of new information, then it bumps up and down.
00:23:35.000 Everything gets very volatile.
00:23:37.000 Hillary Clinton is a candidate who adds nothing new to the status quo of information.
00:23:42.000 What I mean by that is we're finding out new things every day about Hillary Clinton and her corruption, Hillary Clinton's links between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation.
00:23:49.000 For example, CNN admitted, Alison Camerota today, she admitted there's no bright line between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation.
00:23:55.000 That's illegal, gang.
00:23:57.000 You say that there's no smoking gun, and you're right thus far.
00:24:00.000 Of course, there is no evidence connecting that there was actually a pay-to-place game, but there's also not the bright line.
00:24:06.000 Well, I have to push back on that a little bit, Alison, because when you're talking about, please do a favor for this person, we're talking about the email where this young man really wanted a job with the State Department so he could further his work in Haiti.
00:24:34.000 And God forbid somebody doing good work around the country is not able to get a job.
00:24:37.000 I hope that young man actually got it.
00:24:39.000 But what I hope the Clinton campaign actually does, though, is push back on all these false narratives about the Clinton Foundation.
00:24:45.000 We can stop it.
00:24:45.000 So his response isn't important.
00:24:47.000 What she's saying is important.
00:24:48.000 Rudy Giuliani says it also.
00:24:50.000 He says, look, everybody on earth owns Hillary, owns a piece of Hillary.
00:24:53.000 On Hillary, they own her.
00:24:56.000 Goldman Sachs owns her.
00:24:58.000 All those companies that paid her, millions.
00:25:01.000 The Russian oligarchs who pushed money into the Clinton Foundation and got uranium for Russia.
00:25:09.000 So many people on Hillary, there's nothing left of them.
00:25:12.000 Okay, that's right.
00:25:13.000 So many people own Hillary.
00:25:14.000 So why doesn't that have an impact?
00:25:15.000 Why doesn't that mean anything in this election cycle?
00:25:18.000 And the answer is, we've known Hillary is corrupt for literally my entire lifetime, or close to it.
00:25:24.000 I was eight years old when the Clintons took office.
00:25:26.000 The Clintons took office, and we knew immediately they were corrupt.
00:25:28.000 They were already in the midst of the Whitewater investigation.
00:25:31.000 They knew the bill was involved in a number of peccadillas.
00:25:33.000 Everybody knew that Hillary was a shrew.
00:25:36.000 Everybody knew that Hillary was involved in all sorts of corrupt dealings.
00:25:38.000 She's still the only First Lady ever fingerprinted.
00:25:42.000 We're good.
00:26:01.000 Bill Clinton was declassifying missile secrets from the Department of Defense that China then used to build their new missile technology.
00:26:07.000 So, none of this is anything new.
00:26:09.000 And that means that even a new form of an old scandal is just a new form of an old scandal.
00:26:13.000 It's not a lot of new information.
00:26:14.000 You say Hillary Clinton is corrupt.
00:26:16.000 We know.
00:26:16.000 You say Hillary Clinton compromises national security.
00:26:19.000 We know.
00:26:19.000 The only piece of new information in the last several years that really hurts Hillary is the one that has hurt Hillary, and that was her lying to the families of the Benghazi dead and trying to cover things up.
00:26:28.000 Because even people who thought she was corrupt thought, there's no way she's that evil.
00:26:31.000 That's an evil thing to do.
00:26:33.000 Right, that was new information added to the system.
00:26:36.000 So when you look at why Hillary isn't succeeding, or rather why she is succeeding, it's because she doesn't add new information to the system.
00:26:41.000 She's just the same old corrupt we always knew.
00:26:44.000 And people are saying that, you know, people say, well, I'm not scared of her because she's normal corrupt.
00:26:49.000 But what if normal corrupt is really scary?
00:26:50.000 What if normal corrupt is really terrible and really dangerous?
00:26:54.000 People go back to Bill and they say, well, he was just as corrupt and his administration was great.
00:26:57.000 I think that's one of the problems for Trump here.
00:26:59.000 So, because she's not adding new information, she keeps her mouth shut, she just lets them rail on about how she's corrupt.
00:27:05.000 Crooked Hillary doesn't hurt her.
00:27:07.000 Everybody knows she's crooked and they don't care.
00:27:09.000 Crooked and corrupt Hillary, that doesn't hurt her.
00:27:11.000 Nasty, evil Hillary who doesn't care about the families of Benghazi dead, that hurts her.
00:27:17.000 Right?
00:27:18.000 The ambitious Hillary hurts her.
00:27:20.000 But anything that's old information doesn't really hurt her at all.
00:27:22.000 It really doesn't.
00:27:24.000 Meanwhile, you know, Donald Trump is obviously, uh, he keeps hurting himself.
00:27:28.000 So that means that it's time for a very quick episode of Good Trump, Bad Trump.
00:27:33.000 We have a brand new theme song, by the way, for Good Trump, Bad Trump by a high school student named Brandon Snipes.
00:27:37.000 So let's try that.
00:27:37.000 Let's see how that goes.
00:27:40.000 Good Trump, Bad Trump, which one will we get today?
00:27:46.000 So we will begin with good Trump.
00:27:49.000 Yay!
00:27:50.000 So get a little bit of good Trump.
00:27:51.000 So Donald Trump spent the weekend bashing the media.
00:27:54.000 So it's kind of good, kind of bad.
00:27:56.000 So yes, he should be bashing the media.
00:27:57.000 The problem is, and here's where we get very quickly to bad Trump.
00:28:02.000 We get very quickly to bad Trump because Donald Trump bashing the media, it sounds more like he's losing.
00:28:07.000 It's not just him calling out individual reports and saying the media is corrupt.
00:28:11.000 He went on a tweet storm on Sunday that is just basically him saying, I'm toast here.
00:28:16.000 And again, you can't read it in a vacuum.
00:28:19.000 He has a campaign office in Florida, one campaign office in Florida, in a battleground state with four employees.
00:28:26.000 He spent no money in the battleground states.
00:28:28.000 Again, that's a big zero.
00:28:29.000 It's a big goose egg for how much money he's spending.
00:28:31.000 The Wall Street Journal has an editorial today saying, if Trump can't get it together, they're gonna have to focus down ballot because this is a disaster.
00:28:37.000 He was tweeting yesterday, if the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, I'd be beating Hillary by 20.
00:28:46.000 Well, no.
00:28:47.000 If they didn't lie about you, then you'd probably be losing to Hillary by about four.
00:28:51.000 If you didn't say stupid things, you'd be beating Hillary by five.
00:28:54.000 He says, my rallies are not covered properly by the media.
00:28:56.000 They never discuss the real message, never show crowd size or enthusiasm, because that's his only talking point now as the crowds are really big.
00:29:02.000 He says, crooked Hillary is being protected by the media.
00:29:04.000 She is not a talented person or politician.
00:29:07.000 The dishonest media refuses to expose.
00:29:08.000 OK, that's fine.
00:29:09.000 And he says, I'm not only fighting crooked Hillary, I'm fighting the dishonest and corrupt media and her government protection process.
00:29:15.000 People get it.
00:29:15.000 This is all fine, this is all good.
00:29:17.000 Then he says, it is not freedom of the press when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want, even if it is completely false.
00:29:24.000 This is what he just tweeted.
00:29:26.000 Let me remind you, Donald Trump accused Ted Cruz's father of helping to murder JFK, and accused Ted Cruz of having multiple affairs, and lies routinely, and says the National Enquirer is a wonderful journalistic outlet.
00:29:37.000 Again, this is the problem with Trump, is that
00:29:40.000 As I said, his goal here should be to add no new information about himself, just ride steady, no new information about him, and attack Hillary and expose new information about her.
00:29:49.000 He's doing the opposite.
00:29:49.000 He's not exposing anything new about her.
00:29:51.000 He's just exposing new information about himself.
00:29:54.000 He also happens to be plagued with maybe the most incompetent campaign spokespeople ever.
00:29:59.000 I mean, besides Ben Carson, who's officially the worst spokesperson ever, like it's trademarked.
00:30:04.000 There's Katrina Pearson.
00:30:05.000 Katrina Pearson, oh my god.
00:30:07.000 Over the weekend, Katrina Pearson
00:30:09.000 She said, number one, that Barack Obama was the one who invaded Afghanistan.
00:30:14.000 Not true.
00:30:15.000 Here is Katrina Pearson saying that the media have literally beaten Trump supporters.
00:30:21.000 They are tired of seeing left-wing reporters literally beat Trump supporters into submission, into supporting policies they don't agree with.
00:30:29.000 It just shuts them down, and that's not what they're seeing in this campaign.
00:30:32.000 So this is essentially Mr. Trump fighting back.
00:30:34.000 Okay, again, that's not what the word literally means, people.
00:30:39.000 If you actually want Trump to win, if you actually want Trump to win, then you have to want him to do better than this.
00:30:44.000 You really do.
00:30:45.000 You have to understand he has to do better than this.
00:30:47.000 And again, it's not the media aren't unfair to him.
00:30:50.000 They are.
00:30:50.000 The media are totally, totally unfair to him.
00:30:52.000 Case in point today, Paul Manafort, news story out.
00:30:54.000 He's being paid like $13 million by a pro-Russian, Ukrainian group.
00:31:01.000 The former president, there was a guy named Viktor Yanukovych.
00:31:04.000 His group paid Manafort like $13 million.
00:31:06.000 He may still be on Putin's payroll.
00:31:08.000 In other bad news for the Trump campaign, Ivanka Trump is doing a vacation right now in Croatia.
00:31:13.000 Which, I don't know who vacations in Croatia, but she's vacationing in Croatia with the current girlfriend of Vladimir Putin, which is just like... So none of that is good for the Trump campaign, but the media
00:31:28.000 We're good to go.
00:31:53.000 To focus.
00:31:54.000 Now, I've got to admit to you folks, I really do, I have to admit to you, and I think this is an important point.
00:31:58.000 I've been getting into it with people like Laura Ingram, over Laura Ingram, saying that it's immoral not to back Trump.
00:32:05.000 And I've said, of course it's not immoral not to back Trump, it's also not immoral to back Trump.
00:32:08.000 I think that you can make a strong moral argument either way.
00:32:11.000 You can.
00:32:12.000 And I go back and forth on this a lot.
00:32:14.000 I mean, I think seriously about, if I'm the last vote in America and it comes down to Trump versus Hillary, do I pull the trigger for Trump?
00:32:20.000 Maybe I do.
00:32:21.000 Maybe I do if I'm the last vote in America.
00:32:23.000 But what's being asked, unfortunately, is something more than that.
00:32:26.000 And that's to lie for Trump.
00:32:27.000 And as I've said a thousand times, I'm not going to do that.
00:32:29.000 I'm not going to do that.
00:32:30.000 I'm going to read it to you straight.
00:32:31.000 I'm going to give the situation to you straight.
00:32:33.000 Trump is a bad candidate.
00:32:34.000 He's running a bad campaign and he's getting schlonged.
00:32:37.000 He's getting killed here.
00:32:38.000 And so the question is now becoming, OK, where do you refocus the dollars?
00:32:41.000 Do you focus the dollars down ballot or do you keep them with Trump, who's running a failing campaign?
00:32:46.000 And people are starting to get desperate, they're starting to get angry, but you can either look reality in the face, and that reality is that Donald Trump is a very, very bad candidate who's not conservative, or you can continue to just throw your hands to the wind and say, well, he's better than Hillary.
00:33:00.000 Okay, let me explain something to you.
00:33:02.000 Donald Trump, even if he won, right now he's drawing 20% support among young people.
00:33:06.000 20%.
00:33:06.000 He is 27 points underwater.
00:33:10.000 27 points underwater with college-educated white women.
00:33:13.000 Mitt Romney won those women by six points.
00:33:15.000 An entire generation of voters is being wiped out before our eyes because of Donald Trump.
00:33:21.000 Understand that before you start justifying his behavior and before you start saying that it's imperative to vote for him when he goes down by ten.
00:33:27.000 Okay, that's it's a real risk calculation and I'm not gonna pretend it's easy either way.
00:33:31.000 I've said this a thousand times.
00:33:32.000 It's not easy either way.
00:33:34.000 Anybody who's telling you it's that easy is lying to you.
00:33:37.000 When you hear people say it's just as easy as Lesser of Two Evils, no, it isn't that easy.
00:33:40.000 When you hear people say it's just as easy as Trump is unpalatable, no, it's not just that easy because Hillary is also unpalatable and in many ways worse.
00:33:48.000 There is no good answer here and good people are going to come to a conclusion on either side of that.
00:33:53.000 I have never ripped people who are supporting Trump to stop Hillary.
00:33:56.000 I've ripped people who lie about Trump and say he's conservative.
00:33:58.000 He's not.
00:33:59.000 I've ripped people who try to pervert conservatism to fit Trump because that does serious damage to the conservative movement.
00:34:06.000 Because when you shift the standard of conservatism to fit anybody, you're destroying the standard in order to fit the guy.
00:34:11.000 And then the standard no longer exists.
00:34:13.000 But I think that
00:34:14.000 For us to get along after this election, for us to have a future for the Republican Party, for us to have a future for conservatism after this election, we're going to have to acknowledge that people can come to some decent solutions and they don't have to be the same.
00:34:26.000 If I don't choose to vote for Trump, that's my decision.
00:34:28.000 If you choose to vote for Trump, that's your decision.
00:34:30.000 We're all adults here, so long as we think we're fighting for the right kind of conservatism, there's a moral argument to be made.
00:34:36.000 There's a moral argument to be made.
00:34:37.000 And I think that we've gotten in the habit, unfortunately, over the past few years, maybe I've been part of this, I've tried not to be, but maybe I have.
00:34:44.000 We've gotten into the habit of condemning tactics as policy preference.
00:34:49.000 I actually ripped, as I recall, Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz, for going on the floor of the Senate and saying that anybody who wasn't willing to shut down the government was pro-Obamacare.
00:34:56.000 And I said, that's not true.
00:34:57.000 That's not true.
00:34:57.000 They just want to support a different, they want to support a different methodology.
00:35:02.000 I may think they're wrong, I may side with Cruz,
00:35:04.000 But you can't say that a particular tactic to preserve a goal, that's what makes somebody nasty.
00:35:11.000 No, I'm sorry, I don't buy it.
00:35:12.000 I don't buy that if you don't vote for Trump, you're immoral.
00:35:14.000 I don't buy that if you do vote for Trump, you're immoral.
00:35:16.000 I think that these are both...
00:35:18.000 Eminently possible calculations.
00:35:20.000 And I shift on my own calculation day to day as far as my vote.
00:35:22.000 But I will never shift on my calculation with regard to coverage.
00:35:25.000 And when it comes to coverage, I'm always going to tell the truth to you.
00:35:28.000 I'm always going to tell you what I think about what Donald Trump is doing.
00:35:30.000 I'm not going to lie to you.
00:35:31.000 I'm not going to lie for him.
00:35:33.000 I'm not going to skew things.
00:35:34.000 I'm going to tell you what he's doing.
00:35:35.000 Again, I'm going to tell you what I think Hillary's doing, too.
00:35:39.000 It's your responsibility as an adult to vote.
00:35:41.000 So my vote is my own.
00:35:42.000 But what I say to you, that's what matters.
00:35:43.000 Okay.
00:35:44.000 Time for some things I like, and then a few things I hate.
00:35:47.000 So, things I like.
00:35:48.000 First of all, my wife and I have now been watching American Crime Story, The People vs. O.J.
00:35:53.000 Simpson, and it is really, really good.
00:35:55.000 I'm old enough to remember the O.J.
00:35:56.000 Simpson trial.
00:35:57.000 It still angers me.
00:35:58.000 I was, I think I've told this story before, but I was in middle school when the verdict came down, and they actually walked into our class and brought a TV, TV in, this is public school, brought a TV in, and they showed the verdict being read aloud in the class because they'd announced beforehand what time the verdict was going to be read.
00:36:13.000 And I recall every black person in the class started cheering and every white person in the class was devastated.
00:36:18.000 And we were like 10 at the time.
00:36:21.000 And the reason for that is because O.J.
00:36:23.000 Simpson was eminently guilty.
00:36:24.000 Eminently guilty.
00:36:25.000 Actually, the O.J.
00:36:26.000 Simpson thing has something to say about the Milwaukee thing.
00:36:28.000 The O.J.
00:36:28.000 Simpson thing, he was so clearly guilty.
00:36:31.000 I don't mean like 99% guilty, I mean 110% guilty.
00:36:34.000 O.J.
00:36:34.000 Simpson absolutely killed Nicole, absolutely killed Ronald Goldman, absolutely almost beheaded them.
00:36:40.000 Just brutal, brutal slaying.
00:36:42.000 And everybody knew it.
00:36:43.000 Everybody knew it.
00:36:44.000 But there were people who decided they wanted to lie to themselves because they wanted to lie about how the system worked.
00:36:49.000 This was racial revenge for Rodney King.
00:36:50.000 What this shows, not in terms of O.J.
00:36:53.000 killing Nicole because of Rodney King, but in terms of the public opinion about O.J., it was a direct response to this perception that the LAPD was evil and racist and terrible.
00:37:03.000 And this show, The People vs. O.J.
00:37:05.000 Simpson, shows that.
00:37:05.000 Here's a little bit of the preview.
00:37:07.000 Yeah, what have you got?
00:37:08.000 Got two victims in Brentwood.
00:37:10.000 Brentwood?
00:37:11.000 Nobody gets killed in Brentwood.
00:37:19.000 Alright!
00:37:21.000 You're gonna say this case is all about race?
00:37:22.000 Yes.
00:37:23.000 Because it is.
00:37:23.000 Do you think he did it?
00:37:26.000 She was terrified of him.
00:37:28.000 I'm not a public personality.
00:37:30.000 I don't know how to do this.
00:37:32.000 He's my friend.
00:37:33.000 I don't turn my back on people.
00:37:34.000 You're turning your back on Nicole!
00:37:37.000 Who the hell signs a suicide note with a happy face?
00:37:41.000 I ain't trying to be respectful.
00:37:43.000 I'm trying to win.
00:37:44.000 You wanna make this a black thing?
00:37:46.000 Well, I'm not black.
00:37:47.000 I'm OG.
00:37:53.000 You're losing control.
00:37:54.000 This is a fiasco.
00:37:55.000 You're afraid there are going to be more riots.
00:37:57.000 This has got a star deserved to get hurt.
00:37:59.000 To the side!
00:38:02.000 Okay, it's a very good series so far.
00:38:04.000 I haven't finished it yet, but the one objection I have is the attempt to paint Johnny Cochran as some sort of crusader.
00:38:09.000 Johnny Cochran is about as corrupt and disgusting a human being as humanly possible.
00:38:13.000 So that's my only objection so far from what I've seen.
00:38:16.000 Maybe that comes out later, but Johnny Cochran in their painting is a hero, and he was a really, really bad guy, Johnny Cochran.
00:38:21.000 But it goes to show, you know, remember with the Michael Brown fiasco in Ferguson, Missouri, there was a poll that they did among black people versus white people.
00:38:28.000 What they found is a huge majority of black people thought the officer, this is right after the shooting, thought the officer should have been tried and executed.
00:38:35.000 It turned out, of course, that the officer was not only completely innocent, he was completely justified in shooting Michael Brown.
00:38:40.000 Completely justified.
00:38:41.000 Even the DOJ found that.
00:38:43.000 The attempt to jump to conclusions is one of the things that is driving such racial angst and anxiety and it's playing out in real time.
00:38:51.000 We're still feeling the impact of trials like OJ.
00:38:54.000 We're still feeling that impact today because people refuse to rely on evidence and facts.
00:38:58.000 Instead, they choose to rely on
00:39:01.000 Intuition and beliefs about the system itself rather than looking at each individual case as an individual case.
00:39:06.000 Turns out that this case in Milwaukee was nothing of a case.
00:39:08.000 It was a black officer.
00:39:10.000 Sounds like rightly shooting a black guy unless there's further information to be presented.
00:39:14.000 Okay, other things that I like.
00:39:15.000 Larry Wilmore, who's legitimately one of the unfunniest people on planet Earth, he's now been cancelled.
00:39:21.000 And that's a great thing because Larry Wilmore is awful.
00:39:23.000 Larry Wilmore is comedy cancer.
00:39:25.000 Trevor Noah's comedy Ebola.
00:39:28.000 But Larry Wilmore is comedy cancer.
00:39:29.000 He actually came out and he said that this is the unblackening of Comedy Central.
00:39:34.000 Yes, or it's the unsuckening of Comedy Central, one of the two.
00:39:38.000 They still say, by the way, at Comedy Central that they like Trevor Noah, which is beyond reckoning.
00:39:42.000 I mean, Trevor Noah is so wildly unfunny.
00:39:46.000 I mean, I know terminal cancer patients who are significantly more funny than Trevor Noah.
00:39:51.000 I mean, it's really, really bad.
00:39:53.000 Trevor Noah is awful.
00:39:54.000 The only reason he's still on the air is because he has a South African accent, but he is wildly unfunny.
00:39:58.000 But at least Larry Wilmore is gone, and that dude was terrible.
00:40:01.000 Okay, time for some things that I hate.
00:40:07.000 Okay, so, Things I Hate.
00:40:10.000 Let's start with this new series from Fox.
00:40:13.000 So here's the preview for the new series from Fox called Pitch.
00:40:18.000 Here we go.
00:40:18.000 The San Diego Padres have called up Ginny Baker.
00:40:22.000 It marks a day that many doubted would ever come.
00:40:25.000 One up from Jackie.
00:40:27.000 You'll remember where you were when you saw it.
00:40:32.000 The entire world will be watching it.
00:40:35.000 You ready for this?
00:40:36.000 I've been ready my whole life.
00:40:37.000 You do this for you or you don't do it at all.
00:40:40.000 Give me the ball.
00:40:47.000 Okay, so let's imagine how this would go in the real world.
00:40:50.000 Okay, just for one second.
00:40:51.000 I know it's a fictional series.
00:40:53.000 I know, I know.
00:40:54.000 I'll tell you why I object to this in a second.
00:40:56.000 But let's imagine this were a real world.
00:40:58.000 Okay, if a woman got up to pitch against men, we're not talking about like throwing a softball from 40 feet because that's a whole different thing.
00:41:06.000 We're talking about like actually pitching in the major leagues.
00:41:08.000 A woman who threw softballs, by the way, have struck out like Babe Ruth.
00:41:12.000 They did an exhibition where a woman did this from like 40 feet.
00:41:14.000 It's a whole different motion.
00:41:16.000 It throws off your timing mechanism.
00:41:18.000 This is a different thing.
00:41:18.000 This is a woman pitching in the major leagues.
00:41:20.000 Let's imagine that a woman pitched in the major leagues.
00:41:22.000 Her line would be zero outs, six earned runs, six solo home runs.
00:41:26.000 67.
00:41:26.000 67 miles an hour from Austin.
00:41:27.000 Mathis, any guesses?
00:41:47.000 Sixty.
00:41:48.000 Sixty.
00:41:49.000 Okay, the answer is a woman has thrown a baseball 69 miles an hour.
00:41:52.000 Okay, that's the fastest a woman has ever thrown, so Austin wins, he's the closest without going over.
00:41:57.000 Well played, Austin.
00:41:58.000 So 69 miles per hour in 2013, that's the fastest documented pitch by a woman.
00:42:04.000 Okay, that's a...
00:42:05.000 You know, for a normal person, that's throwing the ball relatively hard.
00:42:08.000 When I was 11 years old and playing in Little League, there was a kid on my team who threw the ball 72 miles an hour.
00:42:14.000 At 11.
00:42:15.000 Okay?
00:42:16.000 The kid was a monster.
00:42:17.000 He threw it 72 miles an hour.
00:42:19.000 He was a monster, right?
00:42:20.000 I remember, we got to the championship game, and this kid gets up.
00:42:24.000 We'd hidden him the whole year.
00:42:25.000 Nobody knew that he could throw like this.
00:42:27.000 We'd hidden him the whole year.
00:42:28.000 We get to the championship game.
00:42:29.000 It's an Orthodox Jewish league.
00:42:30.000 It's all Orthodox Jews.
00:42:31.000 And the kid gets up there to pitch.
00:42:33.000 And he throws the first pitch.
00:42:35.000 And remember, it's all Orthodox Jews.
00:42:36.000 The first base coach on the other team, he sees the first pitch, he goes, oh.
00:42:42.000 OK, so throwing 69 miles an hour, I'm not somebody with a good arm.
00:42:45.000 OK, I'm not.
00:42:45.000 I haven't thrown in years and years and years.
00:42:48.000 If you go to the state fair and you throw a ball into one of these timing mechanisms, I throw the ball about 50 miles an hour.
00:42:55.000 If I throw hard, I throw the ball about 50.
00:42:56.000 So 69 is a relatively fast pitch for somebody who has any sort of arm.
00:43:02.000 69 would not let you onto your JV high school baseball team if you're a pitcher.
00:43:05.000 It wouldn't, okay?
00:43:05.000 Tim Wakefield was throwing a knuckleball at 70 miles an hour.
00:43:08.000 A knuckleball, okay?
00:43:10.000 For those who don't know what a knuckleball is, it's supposed to be a floater.
00:43:13.000 Okay, the fact is, the average, right now, the average speed of a Major League pitcher is in excess of 93 miles an hour.
00:43:19.000 Not 69, 93 miles an hour.
00:43:22.000 There's a very famous pitcher who used to throw a pitch called the Ephus.
00:43:24.000 The Ephus pitch was he would throw it, and he'd throw it, it would go high in the air, and he'd use it as an off-speed pitch.
00:43:29.000 That ball went about 65 miles an hour.
00:43:31.000 Okay, so when you say a woman is going to come and she's going to throw and she can blow away the guys, okay, unless this is some sort of magical Henry Rowan Gardner rookie of the year incident where she had some sort of tragic arm accident and it messed up her arm ligaments.
00:43:43.000 No, the answer is no, this doesn't happen.
00:43:45.000 They've done studies of this.
00:43:46.000 Out of 1,000 men, here's another quick quiz.
00:43:48.000 Out of 1,000 men, it's a book called The Sports Gene where they talk about this.
00:43:51.000 Out of 1,000 men off the street, take the average woman throwing a baseball.
00:43:54.000 Now, pick 1,000 men off the street.
00:43:56.000 How many of those 1,000 men will throw slower than the average woman?
00:44:00.000 Out of 1,000.
00:44:01.000 Guesses?
00:44:02.000 Austin, what say you?
00:44:03.000 Okay, 25.
00:44:05.000 Mathis, any guesses?
00:44:06.000 100.
00:44:06.000 The answer is 3.
00:44:11.000 Okay, the answer is three.
00:44:12.000 This is why when people say she throws like a girl, that's not a rip on girls.
00:44:16.000 Girls are great at lots of things.
00:44:17.000 Throwing baseballs are not one of them.
00:44:19.000 Okay?
00:44:19.000 There's the outlier woman who throws slightly better than a mediocre man like me throwing a baseball.
00:44:25.000 But the fact is that if you are anywhere near... No woman would get a minor league tryout.
00:44:30.000 Not as a pitcher.
00:44:31.000 Okay?
00:44:32.000 Not as a pitcher.
00:44:33.000 So here's why I object to this.
00:44:35.000 There's lots of fictional stuff that happens on TV.
00:44:37.000 Here's why I object to this.
00:44:38.000 Two things.
00:44:38.000 One, this series is going to fail and it's going to fail dramatically.
00:44:41.000 No dude wants to sit there watching a show about how a woman who would never be able to pitch in the major leagues is suddenly dominating men in the major leagues.
00:44:49.000 Okay?
00:44:49.000 It's silly.
00:44:50.000 It's silly.
00:44:50.000 Okay?
00:44:51.000 In the same way that a woman wouldn't want to watch a show where a man goes into a traditionally feminine, like, where a man is giving birth.
00:44:58.000 Okay, like, this is a biological thing.
00:44:59.000 This is not even a rip on women playing baseball.
00:45:01.000 I hope my daughter plays baseball.
00:45:03.000 I have one, my personal trainer, his daughter is a really good softball player.
00:45:07.000 Okay, that's not a rip on women.
00:45:08.000 That's just a fact.
00:45:10.000 Okay, if there were a show about a man giving birth, women would look at that and they'd go, you have got to be kidding me.
00:45:14.000 That's silly.
00:45:15.000 Okay, so men aren't going to watch this.
00:45:16.000 Women aren't going to watch it because it's about baseball.
00:45:18.000 I mean, come on.
00:45:19.000 So this will get no ratings and then the next thing that will happen, and the critics will love it, and the next thing that will happen is that everybody will come out and they'll say, oh, it was because of racism because the girl's black and it's because of sexism because the girl's a girl.
00:45:29.000 That's why it failed.
00:45:31.000 That's not why it failed.
00:45:32.000 It failed because there's no amount of realism you can suspend to come up with this, again, unless she was hit by lightning and she became The Flash.
00:45:40.000 Right?
00:45:40.000 There's just no way that that happens.
00:45:41.000 Okay, so that's point number one.
00:45:43.000 Point number two, it creates this feeling in American society.
00:45:46.000 Look, I promise you, there are going to be a lot of people, Americans, who are like this, where they say, well, why can't a woman pitch in Major League Baseball?
00:45:53.000 It's probably because they're sexist.
00:45:54.000 It's probably because they hate women.
00:45:56.000 It's probably because of that.
00:45:57.000 That's why.
00:45:58.000 That's why there are no women in Major League Baseball.
00:46:00.000 That's not why there are no women in Major League Baseball, gang.
00:46:03.000 There are no women in Major League Baseball because they're not men.
00:46:06.000 Okay, that's just the way that this works.
00:46:07.000 And the fact is that if you took the most mediocre, I'm talking like, single A mediocre baseball player, and put him playing college baseball with the ladies, it would not be close.
00:46:16.000 And again, this has nothing to do with the male ego.
00:46:19.000 This has to do with basic biology.
00:46:21.000 Men's bodies are just built for certain things that women's bodies are not built for, and vice versa.
00:46:26.000 So, this annoys me to no end.
00:46:28.000 In other entertainment news that annoys me to no end,
00:46:31.000 Have you seen this new version of the match game?
00:46:33.000 I haven't watched this new version of the match game yet, but apparently this happened on the match game the other night.
00:46:40.000 On the match game, for people who don't know how this works, there's like a person in the audience, there's some celebrity who, they give like a mad lib basically, you have to fill in a word, and somebody fills in the word, and then the celebrities have to match which word was filled in.
00:46:53.000 So here's how it went with regard to, you'll see, you'll see.
00:46:56.000 Sesame Street is being rocked by a tabloid scandal.
00:46:59.000 Instead of a rubber ducky, Bert and Ernie were photographed in the bathtub playing with?
00:47:04.000 Each other.
00:47:05.000 Each other.
00:47:05.000 Thank you.
00:47:06.000 That's a great answer, Jen, but that came out of you a little too quickly for my taste.
00:47:17.000 Jack, Bert, and Ernie were photographed playing with what?
00:47:20.000 My first attempt at being dirty, and I mess it up.
00:47:24.000 Rubber ducky.
00:47:35.000 Missy?
00:47:36.000 Here's the thing, Alex.
00:47:40.000 I went with Jen.
00:47:43.000 Each other's pee-pee.
00:47:45.000 So, okay, so, as you can see, our culture may not be exactly Moliere.
00:47:51.000 I mean, we've got some problems with our culture, but here's the thing that I hate about this.
00:47:55.000 So, presumably, I mean, the old match game used to have stuff like this, too, even from the 70s.
00:47:58.000 You watch the old match game, it used to have, like, people making whoopee, right?
00:48:01.000 Having sex.
00:48:02.000 Now, but here's the problem I have with this particular thing.
00:48:06.000 The left has a tendency to take children's things and turn them dirty.
00:48:10.000 It's something the left actually likes to do.
00:48:12.000 They like to take children's icons and turn them dirty.
00:48:14.000 So it was the left that started talking about gay Teletubbies long before Jerry Falwell idiotically sounded off about it.
00:48:20.000 And it was the left sounding off about how Bert and Ernie are really gay long before anybody on the right started saying it's nasty that the left is talking about how Bert and Ernie are really gay.
00:48:29.000 The same thing has happened now with Frozen, right?
00:48:31.000 You've got all of these people on the left saying, well, you should really make Ilsa a lesbian from Frozen.
00:48:37.000 Children's things should remain children's things.
00:48:40.000 Sesame Street is Sesame Street.
00:48:42.000 It's for children.
00:48:43.000 It has nothing to do with sex.
00:48:44.000 And the fact that everybody on the left thinks it's amusing to take things that are for children and turn them sexual is disturbing.
00:48:50.000 And it's really disturbing, not because they want to have sex with children, but because they want to sexualize children.
00:48:55.000 They want to take things that ought to be innocent and rob them of their innocence.
00:48:58.000 And this makes me upset.
00:48:58.000 This makes me angry.
00:49:00.000 You know, I buy stuffed animals for my daughter.
00:49:03.000 My daughter has a Nemo stuffed animal, which is a Dory stuffed animal, right?
00:49:06.000 The latest Nemo film, they tried to insert a lesbian couple apparently.
00:49:10.000 What's the point of that?
00:49:11.000 What's the point of that?
00:49:12.000 It's for my daughter.
00:49:13.000 She's a baby.
00:49:14.000 What does that have to do with anything?
00:49:15.000 That's just so you can feel good as an adult about your virtue signaling to your own kids.
00:49:20.000 It's not your responsibility to teach my kids about sexuality.
00:49:23.000 That's my responsibility.
00:49:24.000 To teach my kids about sexuality.
00:49:26.000 And hijacking children's characters?
00:49:28.000 And turning them gay?
00:49:30.000 Or talking about their sex lives?
00:49:31.000 It's just, it's just nasty and gross.
00:49:33.000 Like, there isn't enough sex in America?
00:49:35.000 There's not enough sex in our culture?
00:49:37.000 Everything is oversexed.
00:49:38.000 Everything is overdone this way.
00:49:40.000 And you see it everywhere.
00:49:40.000 It's really, it's, it's, it's so upsetting because my view of one of the responsibilities of being an adult, seriously, one of the responsibilities of being an adult human being is protecting the innocence of children.
00:49:51.000 And if you're not willing to do that, if it's more important for you to go out publicly and make jokes about children's characters, having sex with each other, having gay sex with each other, playing with each other's peepees in the bathtub, it makes you kind of gross.
00:50:03.000 It makes you kind of a gross person.
00:50:05.000 You want to joke about that in your private life, among other adults, that's one thing.
00:50:08.000 You want to put it on national TV, where presumably kids are watching this, and now mommy has to explain to her kids why everybody's laughing at Bert and Ernie.
00:50:16.000 It's just, I hate that.
00:50:18.000 Retaining innocence should actually be a goal in life.
00:50:21.000 The left wants to destroy innocence.
00:50:22.000 One of the goals of the left is to destroy innocence, because innocence implies that there is a moral value to you leading a clean life.
00:50:29.000 The left doesn't like people leading a clean life.
00:50:31.000 The left doesn't like innocence.
00:50:32.000 The left wants to make us all sinners, and wants to make us all laugh at sin, and that's how the left sucks you into the idea that you can be a sinner, and then what's the next step?
00:50:40.000 If everybody's a sinner, we need big government to protect ourselves from each other.
00:50:43.000 Okay.
00:50:44.000 A couple more things I hate.
00:50:45.000 I told you it would be an epic episode of things I hate.
00:50:47.000 All right.
00:50:47.000 Obama has a new Spotify playlist, apparently.
00:50:52.000 And this Spotify playlist, the media is pushing it as cool and awesome and new.
00:50:58.000 It's an ever-evolving, this is the Washington Post, an ever-evolving, urban, coastal, hip, tastemaking Obama lifestyle brand.
00:51:05.000 They've helped turn the president into an arbiter of culture and cool.
00:51:10.000 So he's included acid rain.
00:51:13.000 It talks about my big homie died young, just turned older than him.
00:51:16.000 I seen it happen.
00:51:17.000 I seen it happen.
00:51:18.000 I see it always.
00:51:19.000 He still be screamin'.
00:51:20.000 I see his demons in empty hallways.
00:51:21.000 The president's playlist, by the way, is a love-hate thing from Wally Whale.
00:51:27.000 Smooth sailin' from Leon Bridges.
00:51:29.000 Elevator operator from Courtney Barnett.
00:51:31.000 Home from Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros.
00:51:33.000 Many the miles from Sarah Bray.
00:51:35.000 Tightrope from Janelle Monáe, Classic Man from Jidenna, So Ambitious from Jay-Z featuring Pharrell, who's in literally every song ever, Me Gustas Tu, and it goes on for a while.
00:51:47.000 This is his summer playlist.
00:51:49.000 He has a daytime playlist and a nighttime playlist.
00:51:51.000 I don't even want to know what's on the nighttime playlist.
00:51:54.000 Biden has a playlist too?
00:51:56.000 Yeah, but Biden's playlist is all nursery rhymes from children.
00:52:00.000 Biden's playlist is just wheels on the bus over and over and over again.
00:52:03.000 So they've got these playlists.
00:52:06.000 I didn't realize it was the job of the president to be a cultural tastemaker.
00:52:09.000 I didn't realize that.
00:52:10.000 I didn't realize it was his job to be the new standard of
00:52:12.000 Cool.
00:52:13.000 So while the president is releasing his Spotify playlist, he's out golfing while Milwaukee burns and doing nothing while Louisiana's underwater.
00:52:19.000 So I'm excited that the media have decided that it's important for the president to put out his Spotify, but not so important for him to actually be president.
00:52:27.000 Okay, final thing.
00:52:28.000 John Oliver, who's another one of these people with British accents who think they're smart because they have a British accent.
00:52:33.000 He's on HBO, and here he is ripping on subprime car loans.
00:52:38.000 Well, howdy there, folks!
00:52:43.000 Do you need a car?
00:52:44.000 You can't afford a car?
00:52:46.000 No problem, just come right on down today to Crazy Johnny's!
00:52:48.000 But don't take it from me, take it from my cousin, Crazy Jimmy!
00:52:52.000 Come on out here, Jimmy!
00:52:59.000 Crazy Johnny!
00:53:01.000 I love the smell of deals in the morning!
00:53:04.000 I've got a question for the people at home.
00:53:06.000 Do you have bad credit?
00:53:08.000 We don't care!
00:53:09.000 Have you filed for bankruptcy?
00:53:11.000 We don't care!
00:53:12.000 Is your credit so bad that giving you a high-interest loan will basically trap you under a mountain of debt for which there's no reasonable hope of escape?
00:53:17.000 We don't give a f***!
00:53:21.000 And if you come in today, we've got a beautiful offer for you right now, man.
00:53:26.000 This here is a pre, pre, pre, pre, pre, pre-owned 2003 Kia Optima.
00:53:30.000 It's aggressively black.
00:53:34.000 Jimmy, Jimmy, you're going to tell the people what it comes with.
00:53:36.000 I will.
00:53:37.000 And it comes fully loaded with four tires, up to one engine, and a beeping device, which emits a sound that will haunt your dreams.
00:53:45.000 Does it come with anything else?
00:53:47.000 It does, man!
00:53:48.000 If you check the backseat, this car has a f***ing baby in it!
00:53:55.000 There is an actual baby in this car right now!
00:53:58.000 I have serious personal reservations about the situation this town is in!
00:54:02.000 Don't focus on that.
00:54:03.000 Look, this car is worth $2,000, but we'll let you have it for zero down and just $200 a month for the next seven years.
00:54:11.000 That's nearly $17,000!
00:54:12.000 N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-
00:54:31.000 Okay.
00:54:32.000 So, first of all, I tend to find this guy funny.
00:54:36.000 I think he's hilarious.
00:54:37.000 What was this, Keenan?
00:54:39.000 Keegan.
00:54:40.000 Yeah, he's hilarious.
00:54:41.000 But here's the part of this that I object to, because it's a funny bit.
00:54:46.000 Here's what I find silly.
00:54:48.000 Take this out of the realm of cars for a second.
00:54:50.000 Now take it to home mortgages.
00:54:52.000 Okay, so these are the same people who are complaining that not enough black people own homes, not enough Latinos own homes, how America's a rigged racist system because black people can't get loans and Latinos can't get loans.
00:55:02.000 So you take this out of the realm of cars and suddenly the subprime loans, they're okay.
00:55:07.000 And that's how we ended up with an actual financial crash.
00:55:09.000 And they can rip as much as they want on these crazy dealers who are offering these crazy loans.
00:55:14.000 Yes, they're offering them.
00:55:15.000 They're not putting a gun to anybody's head and forcing them to take them.
00:55:18.000 If you decide to make a bad credit deal, gang, that's your fault.
00:55:21.000 That's your fault.
00:55:22.000 Okay, so I'm glad they're informing people you shouldn't take these loans, because you shouldn't.
00:55:25.000 They're stupid.
00:55:26.000 But, the reality is they're painting these people as the villains.
00:55:29.000 The real- there's no villains here, it's just a bunch of people making a lot of bad decisions, and if you don't have good credit, you don't have good credit.
00:55:35.000 There's nothing you can do about that, except be better with your money.
00:55:38.000 I would like for once.
00:55:40.000 It would be nice if they did this routine, and instead of doing it from this end, it would be wonderful to see if they had somebody come in and be the customer, and the customer actually is saying, like, look, I'm not going to pay back this loan.
00:55:55.000 I have no intention of paying back this loan.
00:55:57.000 I'm just going to take the house.
00:55:57.000 I'm just going to take the car.
00:55:59.000 Like, whatever.
00:55:59.000 I don't care.
00:56:00.000 Because the fact is, people are making independent decisions here.
00:56:03.000 And the implication here is that no one's making an independent decision.
00:56:05.000 It's all crammed down by the dealers.
00:56:08.000 Let's go.
00:56:38.000 All right, so we have reached the end of today's episode of the Ben Shapiro Show.
00:56:43.000 Tomorrow, we're going to be talking about, I guess, Donald Trump gave a big speech while we were doing this on ISIS, and so we're going to be talking about President Trump, maybe, President Trump's speech on ISIS and what he had to say, and hopefully, I will say this, hopefully, hopefully, Donald Trump
00:57:01.000 Okay.
00:57:01.000 We'll find out.
00:57:02.000 The suspense is killing me.
00:57:03.000 We'll find out tomorrow.
00:57:04.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
00:57:05.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
