The left has created a catch 22 for itself. While rioters declare their intention to target white Milwaukee residents, and scream about Black Power, while burning down a gas station, the media maintain there s no racism here. But if black people are incapable of racism, what do leftist critics say about black police officers who they then say are actually racist? Ben Shapiro explains why the problem is not that cops are racist against blacks, but that they are part of a racist system that is corrupt and corrupting all of us. And that is why the racial conflicts between cops and Black rioters won t be calmed by more police training, but by stronger law enforcement cooperation with local communities and cooperation with the police department. And the only way such conflicts will be calmed is by stronger, more prominent law enforcement in local communities, and the left will never allow that until the racial conflagrations will continue. Ben Shapiro: Black Americans, of course, will be the ones who pay the price. The Ben Shapiro Show is sponsored by Framebridge, a brand new company that specializes in custom frames for photos and posters.

00:00:00.000In Milwaukee, a black police officer shot a black man who attempted to flee from him while carrying a stolen gun, and then turned on the officer.
00:00:08.000Meanwhile, in Baltimore, the Department of Justice has declared the city's police department, which is majority-minority with a heavy concentration of black officers, racist.
00:00:18.000The hell are police departments supposed to do?
00:00:21.000The left has created a catch-22 for itself.
00:00:23.000While rioters declare their intention to target white Milwaukee residents and scream about black power while burning down a gas station, the media maintain there's no racism here.
00:00:32.000It's just a response to generalized police racism.
00:00:35.000But if black people are incapable of racism, what do leftists say about black police officers who they then say are actually racist?
00:00:42.000There are two possible reasons why the left can claim that black police officers are capable of racism, but black protesters and black rioters aren't.
00:00:49.000First, leftists can claim that black police officers aren't really black.
00:00:52.000They, like black Republicans, have been corrupted by the racist system.
00:00:56.000German Lopez of Vox.com, he wrote this back in April.
00:01:00.000He said, quote, racial bias isn't necessarily about how a person views himself in terms of race, but how he views others in terms of race.
00:01:06.000Particularly in different roles throughout his everyday life.
00:01:09.000And systemic racism, which has been part of the U.S.
00:01:11.000since its founding, can corrupt anyone's view of minorities in America.
00:01:14.000Policing tactics can also create and accentuate personal, subconscious bias.
00:01:19.000By increasing the likelihood, officers will relate blackness with criminality or danger, leading to what psychologists call implicit bias against black Americans.
00:01:27.000Combined, says Lopez, this means the system as a whole, as well as individual officers, even black officers.
00:01:33.000By and large, act in ways that are deeply racially skewed and potentially racist.
00:03:17.000I am a person who spends a lot of money on frames for photos and posters.
00:03:21.000I have lots of memorabilia in my home, lots of signed memorabilia, and it's always baffled me why frames are so expensive and it's so inconvenient to get them.
00:03:28.000You go somewhere and a frame will cost you $400.
00:03:30.000You'll have a poster that costs you $50, and it costs you $300-$400 to frame it.
00:03:35.000Well, there's a new company out there called Framebridge.
00:03:40.000I mean, you go to FrameBridge.com, what you do is you pick out the frame that you want, or you let their designers help you choose the frame, you can preview your item in any frame style, they send you a prepaid package and you can actually ship your picture to them, or you can upload a picture to the FrameBridge app and they'll just print it out on their end and put it in the frame.
00:03:56.000They guarantee that your stuff won't be damaged.
00:03:59.000The expert team, they custom frame your item in days, it doesn't take weeks or months, it's days, and then they deliver your finished piece directly to your door and it's ready
00:04:07.000They offer what they call their happiness guarantee, and their team gives each item personal care and attention, and if you don't like what happens, then obviously, you can sound off.
00:04:14.000Instead of all the hundreds that you pay at a framing store, their prices start at 39 bucks, all shipping is free.
00:04:20.000Right now, if you go to framebridge.com and you use promo code Ben, you'll save an additional 15% off your first order.
00:04:30.000Use the promo code Ben, because that lets them know that we sent you.
00:04:33.000And then they're more likely to continue advertising, which makes it possible for us to put this show on the air and keep incompetent boobs like Mathis and Austin employed.
00:04:39.000So, if you really want those people to have jobs and not be living off your tax dollar, then you need to go to Framebridge.com, promo code Ben.
00:06:02.000Yeah, so we created the Citizens Coalition for Common Sense Gun Reform, CCCGSR for short, and we actually had to get permission from the mayor, we had to hire local police force, we had to get all kinds of permits to set up a tent with over a dozen firearms, actual firearms, unloaded on a table,
00:06:52.000It's going to be a longer video, probably 15-20 minutes, because we wanted to jam-pack in there for the viewer all the things they may not know, like what a semi-automatic is, what an assault weapon is, what a clip is, versus, you know, the actual term of magazine.
00:07:06.000So, little pop-ups, kind of like VH1, those shows they do, so people can get everything they need to know about the current gun debate.
00:07:13.000Because, you know, as we go into a very likely Hillary Clinton presidency in Supreme Court, the language really matters.
00:07:19.000Yeah, it absolutely does, and I'm glad that you're doing that.
00:07:21.000Actually, Steven's videos that I like the best, folks, are the ones where they're heavily informational.
00:07:25.000His Detroit video, if you've never seen his video where he goes to Detroit and just walks around the city and it looks like the zombie apocalypse, it's an amazing video.
00:07:32.000And so, if you want to take a look at his video, that'll be out in a couple of days, and obviously we'll push it up on our page.
00:07:37.000Well, you know what's funny about that video?
00:07:39.000I don't know if you ever saw the follow-up video where my producer, NotGayJared, and I drove through Detroit.
00:07:44.000I don't know if you ever saw that one.
00:08:38.000Well, I mean, speaking of Detroit sucks, I mean, another city apparently that sucks is Milwaukee.
00:08:41.000You've got the entire left basically ignoring what's going on in Milwaukee this week, even though Milwaukee has turned into a garbage heap, hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1908.
00:08:51.000What do you make of the media's absolute willingness to ignore what's going on in Milwaukee right now?
00:08:57.000If white mobs were chasing black people down in the streets in any city in America, obviously that would be front page news on every newspaper in America.
00:09:03.000You literally have black mobs shouting, get the white guy, and nothing.
00:09:08.000Well, it does happen with white mobs yelling angrily at black people.
00:09:11.000It's called a Packers game, so that does happen.
00:09:29.000I remember, you know, it was exactly during the Dallas shooting because I was sitting in a Milwaukee hotel bar going, oh my God, I can't believe some people saying, man, if that happened in Milwaukee is just, this is a hair trigger here right now because it's Milwaukee, right?
00:09:41.000One of those Midwestern towns, heavily black.
00:09:53.000And here's what's going to happen, right?
00:09:54.000They're pulling them out because they're getting attacked.
00:09:56.000Black people, they're the Black Lives Matter, who, by the way, don't represent all black people, but we're talking about Black Lives Matter in this context here.
00:10:02.000Saying well, they're not they're not telling our story there They always tell the same thing white people and then what's going to happen is all the journalists are going to leave and it'll be Like that criminal in Cobra, you know pig bring the cameras in here because he wants to die in the spotlight And they'll be mad that no one's covering them and they'll say it's because we're black and no one's telling our story They came there to tell your story you shiv them.
00:10:20.000Okay, you mugged them they left and then you're gonna bitch about that!
00:10:31.000He actually does tours that people pay him for to do comedy, unlike most of the conservative comedians who are basically just people who once told a joke that wasn't very funny and people laughed because they went to church with them.
00:11:27.000I've actually put all of it on the back burner until probably next year because we're building a new studio and set, but yes, my background is comedy.
00:11:44.000Yeah, they just got rid of Larry Wilmore, who's legitimately comedy Ebola.
00:11:47.000I mean, he just, every time he approaches comedy, he infects it, and the comedy just starts crapping out its bowels and bleeding from every orifice.
00:11:55.000And they got rid of him on Comedy Central.
00:12:06.000I won't correct, but I'm just saying, it doesn't sound right.
00:12:09.000Okay, so in any case, his first claim is that even though he sliced the ratings for Comedy Central literally in half since he took over that show, this was just a way for Comedy Central to unblacken itself.
00:12:22.000What do you make of the future of comedy?
00:12:24.000Because I don't have a lot of hope here.
00:12:25.000It's becoming so politicized that there's nothing that's funny anymore.
00:12:29.000I don't even know if I would use the word future.
00:12:30.000Also something I love for people listening right now or watching Ben Shapiro, he takes a point that someone would take which would be less intelligent because they would say he's literally comedy ebola and Ben just needs to change the word and say legitimately comedy ebola and it works and it's no longer inaccurate so please take note.
00:12:48.000I didn't know he was doing the whole black thing.
00:12:50.000I mean, listen, they have him, they have Trevor Noah, and then you have, you know, you have a TBS, you have Samantha Bee.
00:13:34.000They're just sort of taking people who are smart enough, I know this sounds conspiratorial, smart enough, good enough, but they can control.
00:14:24.000There's so much trash on the internet.
00:14:27.000But you and I could probably, I mean, I certainly know I could go through and go, OK, here are 10 people who would be better to fill those spots on SNL, but they probably wouldn't want to do it.
00:15:40.000And so, Joe Biden is able to get away with anything, because no matter what he says, no matter how stupid, people just go, oh, that's Joe, that's Joe.
00:15:51.000Okay, yesterday, Joe Biden is campaigning with Hillary Clinton.
00:15:54.000And Joe Biden, campaigning with Hillary Clinton, decides that it is worthwhile to attack Donald Trump for not being safe with our nuclear security.
00:16:45.000Back in 2011, if you recall, Joe Biden went out there and did an event with the media where he specifically named the Navy SEALs as the people behind the killing of bin Laden.
00:16:53.000Navy SEALs immediately began pulling down their Facebook profiles because they figured now they'd be targeted.
00:16:58.000And sure enough, a couple of weeks later, there was a
00:17:31.000He's even showered praise on Saddam Hussein, one of the vilest dictators of the 20th century, a man who repeatedly backed terror attacks against Israel because he was supposedly, the reason he admires him, he was a killer of terrorists.
00:18:03.000He said about Saddam Hussein that Saddam Hussein killed terrorists, which is not true.
00:18:07.000But I'm pretty sure that's different than Stalin, who legitimately murdered tens of millions of his own people and put like 20 to 30 people, 20 to 30 million people in gulags.
00:18:17.000Killed six million Ukrainians through starvation policies.
00:18:20.000The idea that Trump would have been there cheerleading Stalin is ridiculous.
00:18:23.000What's even more ridiculous, and this is actually kind of telling, what's even more ridiculous is that it's Joe Biden saying that Trump would have liked Stalin.
00:18:30.000Let's go back in history for a second.
00:18:32.000There was only one side of the political aisle that actually liked Joseph Stalin back in the 1930s.
00:18:36.000There's only one side of the political aisle that thought that Joseph Stalin was a great leader back in the 1930s.
00:18:48.000There was a journalist for the New York Times who won the Pulitzer Prize, Walter Duranty, for talking about how Stalin was just the greatest leader ever.
00:18:56.000He'd seen that he went to the Soviet Union, they hid all of the starvation from him.
00:19:00.000He said, I've seen the future and it works.
00:19:02.000Meanwhile, Stalin was out there purging everybody who disagreed with him, bringing them out there and just literally shooting them or shipping them off to gulags.
00:19:08.000They had a room in the Russian security center called the Lubyanka, where the floor was actually slanted downward.
00:19:14.000It was slanted downward in the back, so when people were shot, the blood would run to the back of the room and they could clean the floor.
00:19:19.000That's how many people were being shot.
00:19:20.000People were routinely being brought in and murdered in the Soviet Union.
00:19:23.000And the American left was playing nice with the Soviet Union.
00:19:26.000The American left was playing ball with the Soviet Union.
00:19:28.000The American left was saying Stalin was a new kind of leader, communism was a new kind of ideology, communism was something that was actually quite wonderful and warm.
00:19:36.000So if we're going to talk about the idea that Stalin would be liked by any side of the political aisle, it would have been the left.
00:19:42.000I mean, the left still goes soft on communism.
00:19:44.000I mean, it was Barack Obama who just a few months ago decided it was imperative that we kowtow to Fidel Castro in Cuba.
00:21:06.000So he spends half his time saying things like, the Iraq war was terrible and we murdered people for no reason.
00:21:12.000And then he swivels and he says something that's quasi right-wing.
00:21:15.000What the left is going to do is they're going to say Donald Trump was the standard bearer for the right when he was saying all these bad things.
00:22:28.000Just go to dailywire.com and subscribe.
00:22:30.000Also, that means that you can submit to the mailbag, and we have tons more coming up, including a new episode of Deconstructing the Culture, so stick around.
00:22:42.000Okay, so, Tim Kaine is the vice presidential pick for the Democrats.
00:22:46.000Speaking of Democratic incompetence, Tim Kaine is the vice presidential pick for the Democrats, and he's supposed to be the down-home guy, right?
00:22:53.000He's the guy who's going to remind you that these are human beings and not just robots.
00:22:57.000Tim Kaine went out there and he was playing the harmonica.
00:23:37.000Meanwhile, it doesn't matter that Hillary Clinton, like, Hillary Clinton's doing things that are so unpalatable and insane that in any other election cycle,
00:23:45.000The candidate could force this to be covered.
00:23:47.000Donald Trump should be forcing the media to cover this.
00:23:49.000Hillary Clinton, if you recall a few months back, we talked about it.
00:23:52.000She tweeted out, quote, to every survivor of sexual assault, you have the right to be heard, you have the right to be believed, we are with you.
00:24:01.000Her husband makes a habit of sexually assaulting women.
00:24:03.000So Juanita Broderick at the same time tweeted out, She tweeted that.
00:24:06.000Well, now it turns out that Hillary Clinton has gone to her website and taken down the portion of her website where she says that you have the right to be heard if you're a sexual assault victim.
00:24:25.000They actually took it down off the website, and they refused comment about it.
00:24:28.000So they deleted the quote from the website because they know that if you say that you have to be believed if you allege sexual assault, that makes things awkward for Bill.
00:24:38.000Imagine if a Republican had said this.
00:24:40.000Imagine if a Republican had done this.
00:24:41.000Todd Akin was run out of a potential Senate seat because he made an idiotic comment about how if women were raped, their uteruses rejected the rape seed.
00:24:50.000Right, and everybody went nuts, and the Republicans stopped backing him.
00:24:53.000Hillary Clinton legitimately just took down a line about why sexual assault survivors deserve to be believed, and nobody is going to bat an eye.
00:26:06.000Shows not only is Trump losing by 14 points in the state of Virginia, which used to be reliably Republican, he's losing among military members in Virginia.
00:26:14.000He's down 8 points among the military.
00:27:27.000And you'll see that every time he speaks on teleprompter here, it's like a third grader called into the principal's office and told to be nice.
00:27:33.000He's kind of like, he's kind of crossing his feet, and he's just awkward.
00:27:38.000Trump has said before, he thinks being presidential means being boring.
00:27:41.000And so every time he tries to be presidential, he just acts boring.
00:28:18.000Nor can we let the hateful ideology of radical Islam, its oppression of women, gays, children, and non-believers be allowed to reside or spread within our own countries.
00:28:38.000We will defeat radical Islamic terrorism, just as we have defeated every threat we've faced at every age and before.
00:28:48.000But we will not, we will not, remember this, defeat it with closed eyes or silenced voices.
00:28:56.000We have a president that doesn't want to say the words.
00:29:00.000Anyone who cannot name our enemy is not fit to lead our country.
00:30:25.000All of this is top 10 level stuff for Trump.
00:30:27.000And I've said this before, when he gives the speeches, whoever's writing his speeches does a decent job with the speeches.
00:30:32.000If he would stick to the speeches, run a normal campaign, and let Hillary blow herself up, and every so often point out how unpalatable she is, he'd be doing a lot better in the polls.
00:30:41.000Again, what he's about to say about Hillary is totally correct.
00:30:44.000Yet, as she threw the Middle East into violent turmoil, things turned out really to be not so hot for our world and our country.
00:31:39.000He did drop a couple lines that I did find problematic.
00:31:42.000There was one line in particular that I thought was problematic.
00:31:44.000It is amazing to me how many Republicans have spent 10 years defending George W. Bush's war in Iraq on the grounds that it was a humanitarian move, on the grounds that everyone in the world thought that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, on the grounds that everyone knew that Saddam Hussein was supporting terrorism around the world, and we knew that it was, at the very least, it was a moral war.
00:32:57.000Okay, it's not true that all of the reasons for the Iraq war were wrong.
00:33:00.000There were multiple reasons given, from violation of UN Security Council resolutions to support for international terrorism to the threat that Saddam Hussein posed to his neighbors and had posed in the past to his neighbors.
00:33:13.000When he says that American soldiers died and lost limbs for literally nothing in Iraq, it really is quite disgusting, and it's terrible to say that to American soldiers.
00:33:47.000What he says here, I am 100% on board with.
00:33:50.000In addition to screening out all members of the sympathizers of terrorist groups, we must also screen out any who have hostile attitudes toward our country or its principles, or who believe that Sharia law should supplant American law.
00:34:11.000Those who do not believe in our Constitution or who support bigotry and hatred will not be admitted for immigration into our country.
00:34:26.000Everything he says there is right and he concludes on this note that is exactly right where he says political correctness is hampering the war on terrorism.
00:34:33.000These warning signs were ignored because political correctness has replaced common sense in our society.
00:34:59.000That is why one of my first acts as president will be to establish a commission on radical Islam, which will include reformist voices in the Muslim community who will hopefully work with us.
00:35:15.000We want to build bridges and erase divisions.
00:35:20.000The goal of the commission will be to identify and explain to the American public the core convictions and beliefs of radical Islam, to identify the warning signs of radicalization, and to expose the networks in our society that support radicalization.
00:35:40.000This commission will be used to develop new protocols for local police officers, federal investigators... Okay, all this is good.
00:37:26.000This is standing up to the white man, presumably.
00:37:28.000This is standing up to the evil white culture that has kept them downtrodden.
00:37:32.000The same culture, by the way, that's the American culture that produced the store and the phones that they want to steal so that they can use, I would assume.
00:37:39.000You've got the person who was shot in Milwaukee, his sister, is now out there saying that they should burn down the suburbs, seriously.
00:37:47.000Burning down ain't gonna help nothing.
00:37:49.000Y'all burning down ain't what we need in our community.
00:38:02.000Okay, so, I mean, this is amazing stuff.
00:38:04.000She's the sister of the supposed victim, who is actually just a lifelong criminal who stole a gun and then tried to turn on the cops with it.
00:38:12.000And she's saying, burn down the suburbs, right?
00:38:41.000He's been covering the rioting and protests in Milwaukee, and he's a far leftist, this reporter.
00:38:46.000I mean, he was a fan of Occupy Wall Street.
00:38:49.000Listen, he says he had to flee the city, basically.
00:38:52.000One of the first things we hear is the crowd getting angry and saying, you know, what are these white people doing here?
00:38:57.000And you actually had a man very angrily, you know, yelling at the crowd saying that, you know, you've got to get the support from the communities outside of yours and that the anger towards the white people was a problem.
00:39:08.000But things started to get really tense later in the night when people started screaming, white people, white people suck.
00:39:16.000A reporter was grabbed by some locals and threatened and told to leave.
00:39:21.000Another instance, a reporter was smacked upside the head by a local who then tried to rally people to come and attack us.
00:39:28.000And things got to the point where I started to question whether or not I should be here when I saw an 18-year-old white kid holding his neck and the police wanted to extract him.
00:39:37.000This is the person we believe to be the shooting victim from last night.
00:39:40.000Locals told me that, you know, they heard a pop.
00:39:44.000There was a, what they believed to be a gunshot, and saw this kid, you know, something was happening around the corner, and then he started holding his neck.
00:39:49.000I saw, when I approached the street, someone lift that kid up, throw him over their shoulder, and rush them inside to try and help them.
00:39:55.000And then, a few moments later, the police extracted that person.
00:39:58.000There's enough people who are screaming things, uh, about white people, uh, and attacking, and, you know, and reporters being attacked, and then hearing that it was a white kid who got shot, that, I think,
00:40:10.000You know, for those that are perceivably white, it is just not safe to be here, and that's why I'm deciding to leave, so... I mean, it's amazing, and the media are ignoring this.
00:40:21.000This would be front-page news anywhere in America, as we let off the show with, but the media prefer to ignore it because it's ugly, and because it accomplishes what the left wants.
00:40:30.000Which is, they get to claim now that these people are downtrodden, that they've been put under by the system, so the government needs more power to rectify the situation.
00:40:42.000And maybe he will start to focus on the issues, although it's a little bit late to redefine his character in this election cycle.
00:40:48.000He should have done it right after the convention.
00:40:50.000Instead, he decided that it would be more important to go after the Gold Star family.
00:40:54.000If Trump had any discipline at all, he'd be up in this race.
00:40:56.000And this is coming from someone who's not a fan of Donald Trump and thinks that he's actually not conservative.
00:41:03.000This sort of activity is so devastating to the United States, and the fact that Republicans aren't highlighting this, that Republicans are instead being sucked into the media trap of responding to everything the media say, and the media are able to avoid talking about this.
00:41:16.000That guy's a leftist journalist who just had to flee because he's perceptively white.
00:41:20.000Okay, there's only one problem, by the way.
00:42:02.000They made a good movie called Capote about Capote writing this book also.
00:42:06.000Capote was this, you know, effete gay New York leftist and he goes to research the murder of this family in the middle of like this rural family basically over no money essentially.
00:43:27.000I don't know where she gets these pantsuits that look like she got them directly from Violet Beauregard in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
00:45:11.000I've talked about this many times on the program before.
00:45:14.000A woman who does the same amount of work, has the same work experience, doesn't have kids, has the same level of outside commitment, works the same number of hours as a man, is actually paid more than men in all of the top cities in the United States.
00:45:26.000In the 50 top cities in the United States, women are paid 108% of what men are paid if they have exactly the same credentials and work the same amount of time.
00:45:34.000Number two, did it ever occur to anybody that when they're casting this commercial,
00:45:37.000One of the reasons that maybe this woman wouldn't get the raise after asking for it is because she isn't all the things she's claiming to be.
00:46:29.000And that's true for men, it's also true for women.
00:46:31.000We all have to work, we all have to kind of work particularly fine lines because of stereotypes, but the idea that there's a vast wage gap that has to be filled, and that women can only fill it by, you know, whining about it on commercials,
00:46:45.000The fact is, again, if a woman works the same number of hours as a man, and she works the same job as a man, and she has the same experience and does the same things, she will be paid probably more than a man, according to the same studies that I've talked about.
00:46:56.000That was in Time Magazine, by the way.
00:47:32.000So ESPN, Cam Newton is a quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, and he was in the Super Bowl last year.
00:47:40.000A lot of people don't like Cam Newton because they think he's overrated.
00:47:42.000I happen to be one of the people who thinks he's overrated.
00:47:44.000I don't think that he can read a progression very well.
00:47:47.000I think he's incredibly athletic, but he's not one of my favorite quarterbacks.
00:47:50.000I'm also not a fan of athletes who make a huge deal every time they score a touchdown.
00:47:54.000He, of course, is famous for doing the dab, right?
00:47:55.000He does this kind of move every time he scores a touchdown.
00:47:58.000I'm a fan of sort of the Barry Sanders style of scoring a touchdown.
00:48:01.000You turn the ball over to the referee and act like you've been there before.
00:48:04.000In any case, Cam Newton said before the Super Bowl last year, he thought the reason there was resistance to him is because he was a black quarterback.
00:48:10.000Now Cam Newton has come out and he's said that he doesn't think that it's because he's a black quarterback.
00:48:15.000He thinks that racism is pretty much done in American society.
00:48:18.000And honestly, he's in a pretty good place to say so, considering that the man's worth probably a hundred million dollars and is one of the more prominent black men in America.
00:48:25.000Naturally, this leads Bomani Jones, who again is a successful black man sitting on the set of a white-owned company in ESPN.
00:48:32.000He's sitting there, you know, and he says, no, it's just terrible that Cam Newton would say something like this.
00:48:36.000Do you think Cam Newton really believed that the extra criticism he received isn't racism?
00:48:42.000I believe that Cam Newton doesn't see any value in saying that out loud at a position where it's safer to just not answer questions that are dangerous and inflammatory like this.
00:48:55.000This is a GQ story, and keep in mind, the whole thing, once you read it, you realize Cam Newton wasn't much in the mood for this interview, didn't seem to trust the writer very much, certainly didn't seem to trust the writer with this particular topic.
00:49:07.000Yeah, no, I don't believe that he thinks that the extra criticism he gets has nothing to do with racism.
00:49:12.000Hell, Derek Anderson said it in the story, but like, Dan, I understand.
00:50:25.000Alright, so we're bringing back Deconstructing the Culture, I've decided, because it's been long enough, there's a whole new slate of top 40 songs that we have to mock.
00:50:32.000So, Fifth Harmony has a new song called Work From Home.
00:50:36.000Fifth Harmony is this group of five girls, and they sing, or at least they call it singing, and they have a new song called Work From Home.
00:50:44.000We'll listen to a little bit of it and watch the nearly X-rated video, which of course is why people subscribe, and then we will analyze.
00:51:25.000So, this is like a 1980s bad pornography.
00:51:29.000These women dancing around in basically a construction site.
00:51:36.000I don't know whose idea this was, but it wasn't a good one.
00:51:43.000The sophistication of the lyrics is really what gets me.
00:52:03.000Okay, so here's the actual lyric, in case you weren't paying attention because there were bodily parts being thrust in your face in the middle of this video.
00:52:10.000The lyric was, I ain't worried bout nothin', I ain't wearin' na-nada, I'm sittin' pretty, impatient, but I know you gotta, put in them hours, I'ma make it hotter,
00:52:27.000I know you're always on the night shift, but I can't stand these nights alone, and I don't need no explanation, because baby, you're the boss at home.
00:52:32.000You don't gotta go to work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
00:52:36.000You don't gotta put in work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
00:52:40.000You don't gotta go to work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
00:54:03.000Now he comes home, he stups you, and he finds some other lady the next night.
00:54:07.000It is amazing, but this is considered feminist material, and if you say anything differently, if you say this isn't feminist, that makes you a sexist!
00:54:13.000If you say that you don't think that it is empowering for women to dance around in scantily clad, in tiny little clothing, shaking their rears in sexual ways in front of a bunch of sweaty, muscly dudes on a construction site,
00:54:30.000I'm old enough to remember when, five minutes ago, the definition of textbook sexism was a woman walking past a construction site and a man whistling at them.
00:55:50.000The idea is that men shouldn't act like pigs, but really men can sort of act like pigs, because women aren't held to a standard, men aren't held to a standard, nobody has a standard anymore.
00:56:02.000Final note on this, final note on this, because, I mean, it's just, it's amazing, it's amazing.
00:56:06.000All the tropes of sexism have now been reversed, but they actually are just what they always were.
00:56:11.000All the tropes of sexism have been reversed.
00:56:12.000It's bad for a man to whistle at a woman in a construction yard, but if the woman shows up in a bikini and wants to nail the guy on the job, then that's totally harmless, and it's pro-female, it's pro-female.
00:56:23.000And by the way, these sorts of videos won't cause men in construction yards to whistle at women.
00:56:34.000So one of the perversions of language that has come about in the last year, I didn't know this before, how long has work been a synonym for have sex?
00:56:42.000This seems like a relatively recent development.
00:56:44.000Yeah, it's like the last couple years, right?
00:56:46.000It wasn't like, when they said that a woman would work it, it meant like she would dance, right?
00:56:50.000But now it means like actually have sex with somebody.
00:56:53.000You know, you got Rihanna, who's going to work, work, work, work, work with an E. I don't understand why it's spelled with an E. I mean, whatever.
00:57:02.000But now it's... Okay, work is not sex, and sex is not work.
00:57:06.000If sex is work to you, you're doing it wrong.
00:57:08.000Okay, so there's this idea that work is now sex.
00:58:06.000But I guess that's what it's become in common parlance.
00:58:08.000I'm looking forward to the point where they actually go all the way full circle, and they say that sex is slavery, but it's good slavery because you consented in it.
00:58:17.000The left has no standards, and the left has no standards when it comes to language, or romance, or sex, or decency.
00:58:23.000And what you end up with is this kind of stuff.
00:58:24.000And this isn't even the most egregious kind of stuff.
