Jihadists are willing to kill their own kids to fight the infidel, and the West struggles with how to deal with the fact that we love Jihadist kids more than their own parents do. Ben Shapiro explains why this is an intractable problem, and why it s only going to be solved by a complete and utter defeat of jihadist ideology and the killing of as many jihadists as humanly possible. Plus, Hillary Clinton is a terrible person, and her top aide has been linked to a woman who has been a bad person for a long time, and she s been linked with a guy who has a terrible job, and he s a bad gal, and his name is Hillary Clinton. Ben also talks about the Ring of Security Kit, a device that keeps an eye on other parts of your property and keeps you in the loop on who you're talking to and what you should be looking for in a potential home intruder, and how to prevent them from getting into your home in the first place.

00:00:00.000 On Saturday night, an ISIS bomber blew himself up along with 51 other people at a Kurdish wedding party in Gaziantep in Turkey.
00:00:08.000 According to the Turkish government, the suicide bomber was 12 to 14 years old.
00:00:12.000 Then, on Sunday night in Kirkuk, Iraqi police tackled would-be suicide bomber, a 12-year-old boy.
00:00:17.000 They stripped him of his suicide belt.
00:00:19.000 According to the UN, thousands of children have been kidnapped in Iraq, with many boys recruited or pressured into suicide bombing.
00:00:25.000 Just a few weeks ago, tape emerged of a Palestinian man sending his toddler son at soldiers.
00:00:30.000 The toddler carried a Palestinian flag.
00:00:32.000 The kid, three years old, also carried rocks.
00:00:34.000 The father urged the boy to throw them at the soldiers.
00:00:37.000 Instead, the Israeli troops gave over and gave the boy a high five.
00:00:40.000 Jihadists routinely recruit children for military purposes. 0.80
00:00:43.000 During the Iran-Iraq war, the Iranian regime recruited and used thousands of children in battle as human shields and, reportedly, to clear minefields.
00:00:51.000 Saddam Hussein also used to use kids in his army.
00:00:53.000 Terrorist groups from Hamas to Hezbollah routinely trained small children in terrorist methods.
00:00:58.000 Westerners simply can't understand the barbaric willingness of jihadist enemies to sacrifice their own kids to murder other people.
00:01:06.000 But that's the nature of this battle, and that's why it's so unbelievably foolhardy of the left to assume that women and teens can't be radicalized, to assume jihadists are mainly concerned about economic immobility, to differentiate between the battles fought by Israel against jihadism and the battles fought by all the other Western countries against those same jihadists.
00:01:23.000 Jihadists are willing to sacrifice their kids, not because they're looking for new sanitation jobs, but because they have a philosophy of life and death that differs from that of the West. 0.93
00:01:32.000 Hamas routinely proclaims, we love death more than you love life. 0.97
00:01:36.000 And so they're willing to kill their own kids to fight the infidel. 0.99
00:01:38.000 Meanwhile, the West struggles with how to deal with the fact that we love jihadist kids more than their own parents do. 0.88
00:01:44.000 That's an intractable philosophic problem.
00:01:46.000 It's not going to be solved with pretty Obama turns of phrase or redistribution of income.
00:01:51.000 It's only going to be solved by a complete and utter defeat of jihadist ideology and the killing of as many jihadists as humanly possible.
00:01:58.000 The first step, though, is recognizing their evil. 0.96
00:02:01.000 They are not like us.
00:02:03.000 Not when they treat their kids like animals.
00:02:05.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
00:02:06.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:02:12.000 So, first of all, thanks to our sponsor today, Ring.com.
00:02:15.000 There's a home burglary that happens every 13 seconds, and most of them happen in broad daylight.
00:02:19.000 What Ring.com does, and it really is cool, is it's this device that you put on your front door, or on your front gate, and when people ring the doorbell, it immediately rings to your cell phone, so you can see their face, you can see who's there, you can see what they're saying to you, you can even pretend like you're home, so, because the way that most of these home burglaries work is that they ring the doorbell,
00:02:36.000 And if nobody picks up, they assume nobody's home, then they break into your house.
00:02:39.000 So you need the Ring Video Doorbell.
00:02:41.000 It's really cool.
00:02:41.000 It's so cool, actually, I went out and got extra Ring material myself.
00:02:44.000 Like, I get some free Ring.com material because I talk about them and they want me to try the product, but it's such a good product that I even went onto their website and I bought some on my own, which is kind of rare.
00:02:54.000 Ring uses that advanced motion technology to protect the entire property.
00:02:57.000 They have the Ring of Security Kit.
00:02:59.000 You know, here's the thing.
00:03:00.000 If you go to ring.com slash Ben right now, you get a discount on the Ring of Security Kit.
00:03:06.000 So the Ring of Security Kit is a Ring video doorbell for the front door, a Ring stick-up cam, a wireless weatherproof HD camera, which keeps an eye on other parts of the property, and everything installs in minutes.
00:03:17.000 I've installed it myself.
00:03:18.000 It's very easy to install.
00:03:20.000 For a limited time, you go to ring.com slash Ben, you get $50 off that Ring of Security Kit, and you join hundreds of thousands of people who protect their home
00:03:27.000 Okay, tons to get to today.
00:03:28.000 Hillary Clinton.
00:03:46.000 Has a terrible, awful, no good, very bad weekend.
00:03:49.000 Which is great! 0.99
00:03:49.000 Because Hillary Clinton is a terrible, awful, no good, very bad person. 0.99
00:03:52.000 So, Hillary Clinton has a lot of boo-boos over the weekend. 1.00
00:03:56.000 A lot of bad things happen.
00:03:57.000 So we begin with Huma Abedin.
00:03:58.000 So Huma Abedin, who's her gal pal.
00:04:00.000 You know, her gal pal.
00:04:02.000 So her gal pal Huma Abedin, who's her top aide.
00:04:05.000 She apparently has now been linked, and this has been true for years, people have linked her to this before, to the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs.
00:04:12.000 Her mommy was the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs.
00:04:16.000 And Huma Abedin started working there about the time she became a White House intern.
00:04:20.000 And while she was there, she...
00:04:23.000 Specifically, Green lit a piece that ripped apart Hillary Clinton's feminist agenda. 1.00
00:04:29.000 There's a 1996 article arguing that single moms, working moms, and gay couples with kids should not be recognized as families.
00:04:36.000 It also states that more revealing dress ushered in by women's lib, quote, directly translates into unwanted results of sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility and indirectly promote violence against women. 0.96
00:04:47.000 So that's a whole short skirt means that you want to be raped argument. 0.94
00:04:50.000 That was one of the articles that she published while she was the assistant editor there. 0.96
00:04:55.000 The author asserted, quote, a conjugal family established through a marriage contract between a man and a woman and extended through procreation is the only definition of family that a Muslim can accept.
00:05:04.000 And they say that pushing mothers out into the open labor market is a clear demonstration of a lack of respect of womanhood and motherhood.
00:05:10.000 See, that's not even just saying that if you dress non-modestly, that's not saying that if a woman works, that's a terrible thing. 1.00
00:05:17.000 She was the editor
00:05:18.000 At this journal at the same time all this was going on.
00:05:21.000 Now imagine for a second that you had a Republican who's the editor of a journal where they said women working was terrible and non-religious and horrible in every way.
00:05:29.000 Imagine that for one second.
00:05:30.000 You think that person would last five seconds in national politics? 0.95
00:05:33.000 But Huma Abedin won't be forced to disassociate from Hillary Clinton. 0.99
00:05:36.000 After all, no one would want that heartbroken relationship on their hands.
00:05:39.000 So the media ain't gonna force a divide between Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton. 0.98
00:05:44.000 Abedin right now, she is saying that she played no formal role in the Muslim Journal, even though she was listed as an editor on the periodical's masthead for a dozen years.
00:05:52.000 Not for five minutes, for a dozen years.
00:05:55.000 They refuse to say, by the way, whether she was being paid by the journal at the same time.
00:05:59.000 So that's pretty amazing.
00:06:00.000 So that's story number one.
00:06:02.000 Hillary's top aide was the assistant editor on a journal that said that women should not work and that if women did work, it was a dishonor. 1.00
00:06:08.000 So that's just lovely.
00:06:10.000 Okay, piece of news number two from the Hillary being terrible category. 1.00
00:06:16.000 This just shows you how incestuous politics is.
00:06:18.000 Paul Manafort was the campaign manager for Donald Trump until five minutes ago when he was ousted by Steve McBannon, and Paul Manafort
00:06:26.000 Is now under FBI investigation because Paul Manafort actually has deep and abiding links with the Russians and the Ukrainians.
00:06:32.000 He apparently took like $13 million.
00:06:34.000 He didn't report to the federal government.
00:06:36.000 He's under investigation, but he's not the only one under investigation.
00:06:40.000 Also under investigation is a consulting group with whom he was linked.
00:06:44.000 That would, of course, be the Podesta Group.
00:06:45.000 The Podesta Group is run by John Podesta.
00:06:48.000 It was founded by John Podesta.
00:06:49.000 John Podesta is, of course, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman.
00:06:52.000 So the Podesta Group is now being investigated.
00:06:55.000 For connections they have to Trump's campaign manager.
00:06:57.000 So Hillary's campaign manager's group is now being investigated for its tie to Trump's campaign manager.
00:07:02.000 If that doesn't say incest, I don't know what does, but it's bad news for Hillary Clinton just showing more corrupt ties from Hillary Clinton. 1.00
00:07:09.000 That's piece of news number two.
00:07:10.000 Piece of news number three.
00:07:12.000 Colin Powell came out and slammed Hillary Clinton. 0.71
00:07:15.000 So Hillary Clinton has now said, she's now blaming Colin Powell for her email server. 0.93
00:07:20.000 Because when in doubt, Hillary Clinton blames the black guy. 0.99
00:07:22.000 So Hillary Clinton says that the reason she had a private server is because she was having dinner with Colin Powell. 0.64
00:07:27.000 And Colin Powell said, you know what you should do?
00:07:30.000 You should set up a private email.
00:07:32.000 And she apparently said, oh, that sounds like a great idea.
00:07:35.000 OK, the reality, of course, is that what Colin Powell did while he was Secretary of State has nothing to do with what Hillary did.
00:07:41.000 Colin Powell had a personal email address where he handled personal emails, and he had a government email address where he handed government emails, which is kind of how you were supposed to do it at the time.
00:07:49.000 Later, they said, put it all in the government email so we can make sure that everything is safe so that people don't email you the wrong thing to the wrong email address.
00:07:56.000 But Colin Powell said, you know, I used to have one, not the other.
00:08:00.000 I didn't have a private server.
00:08:01.000 I had a private email address.
00:08:01.000 Hillary says, no, that's why I set up a private server.
00:08:04.000 So now Colin Powell says, look, I'm not going to get thrown under the bus on this thing.
00:08:08.000 I am not interested in being her fall guy.
00:08:11.000 So here is a spokesperson, a spokeswoman for Powell's office issued a statement, quote,
00:08:16.000 General Powell has no recollection of the dinner conversation.
00:08:19.000 He did write Secretary Clinton an email memo describing his use of personal AOL email account for unclassified messages and how it vastly improved communications within the State Department.
00:08:29.000 At the time, there was no equivalent system within the department.
00:08:32.000 He used a secure state computer on his desk to manage classified information.
00:08:35.000 The general no longer has the email he sent to former Secretary Clinton.
00:08:39.000 It may exist in state or FBI files, although since she was using a private email address,
00:08:43.000 Rather doubtful.
00:08:45.000 He was also asked by People Magazine about whether he was the source of all of this, and he said, no, Hillary Clinton's just trying to use me as a fall guy.
00:08:52.000 So well done, Hillary Clinton.
00:08:53.000 She's desperately trying to drive out the black vote, and she pissed off one of the leaders in the black community, Colin Powell.
00:08:59.000 So that was a bad piece of her weekend.
00:09:01.000 So that's story number three.
00:09:02.000 Story number four.
00:09:03.000 Hillary Clinton had to announce over the weekend that the Clinton Foundation is going to stop taking foreign and corporate donations.
00:09:09.000 Now,
00:09:10.000 If that sounds familiar, that's because Hillary Clinton has done that before. 1.00
00:09:15.000 In 2008, the Clinton Foundation said that they would no longer accept donations from this.
00:09:21.000 Here's what the Clinton Global Initiative said, okay?
00:09:24.000 This is a memorandum of understanding.
00:09:27.000 No.
00:09:42.000 I'm good.
00:10:06.000 Did that happen?
00:10:08.000 No, that did not happen.
00:10:09.000 No, that did not happen.
00:10:11.000 In November, the foundation had to restate six years of tax documents to account for previously undisclosed revenue from foreign governments.
00:10:18.000 So, that's bad news piece number four for Hillary Clinton. 1.00
00:10:21.000 The Clinton Foundation is obviously a pass-through for the State Department.
00:10:25.000 Basically, there's a massive pay-for-play deal going on.
00:10:27.000 People would give money to the Clinton Foundation, and then they'd get favors from Hillary Clinton. 1.00
00:10:31.000 So that's bad piece of news number four.
00:10:33.000 Bad piece of news number five for Hillary Clinton. 1.00
00:10:35.000 I mean, this thing really stacks up.
00:10:37.000 Bad news piece number five for Hillary Clinton.
00:10:40.000 According to the Daily Caller, apparently there was six billion, with a B, billion dollars in contract mismanagement, fraud, and incompetence that happened under her watch at the Department of State.
00:10:50.000 That's according to the Cause of Action Institute.
00:10:53.000 They say the total value of the contracts reviewed by the Inspector General exceeded $6 billion.
00:11:00.000 Many of those cases arose during the tenure of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
00:11:04.000 So she basically blew $6 billion on waste and frauds. 1.00
00:11:07.000 That's piece of bad news number five.
00:11:09.000 Piece of bad news number six.
00:11:10.000 So, just now, I mean this broke today, the FBI has now said that they have uncovered 15,000 undisclosed emails in the Hillary Clinton probe.
00:11:20.000 15,000.
00:11:21.000 So you remember, she turned over 30, and she said, that's all I have to turn over.
00:11:24.000 That's all there is.
00:11:25.000 That's all there is, right?
00:11:26.000 All there is is 30,000 emails.
00:11:29.000 The rest I destroyed because they were all about yoga.
00:11:31.000 And look at my fine physique and my tight booty, and you can tell how much yoga I've been doing. 0.89
00:11:36.000 And the FBI laughed and laughed and laughed and they said, yeah, she's probably right because they're corrupt.
00:11:40.000 So the FBI has now uncovered almost 15,000 previously undisclosed documents sent directly to or from Hillary Clinton, according to State Department's lawyer.
00:11:48.000 They confirmed that before a federal judge on Monday.
00:11:51.000 Here's the good news as far as that goes.
00:11:52.000 I mean, it's not really good news, but it's true.
00:12:21.000 If the FBI has these emails, so does WikiLeaks.
00:12:23.000 So, you can assure that all of these will be out before November.
00:12:26.000 So, that's, what, six pieces of bad news all breaking over this weekend, all demonstrating that Hillary Clinton is corrupt, that her aides are radical or associated with radicals, that she's deeply in bed with all of these foreign governments, including people like the aforementioned Nigerian-Lebanese businessperson,
00:12:44.000 Chiguri, who gave a bunch of money to the Clinton Global Initiative and then was ushered into kind of the inner sanctum of the State Department.
00:12:51.000 And now we're learning that he was also deeply associated with Mark Rich.
00:12:54.000 You may remember Mark Rich.
00:12:55.000 He's the guy that Clinton pardoned just before the 2000 election in order to sort of buy off a block of votes in New York for his wife in her senatorial race.
00:13:03.000 I mean, the Clintons are so corrupt. 0.97
00:13:04.000 They're so insanely corrupt. 0.98
00:13:06.000 And now there's this whole new trench of emails that is apparently going to break. 0.86
00:13:09.000 None of that is good news, of course, for Hillary Clinton.
00:13:11.000 All of that is very terrible news for Hillary Clinton.
00:13:14.000 And Donald Trump, you know, Donald Trump, he actually hit hard on this.
00:13:20.000 So Donald Trump came out and he gave a statement.
00:13:22.000 He said the Clinton Foundation needs to disband.
00:13:25.000 Here's Donald Trump saying that on Fox & Friends this morning.
00:13:27.000 Well, number one, they should shut it down.
00:13:29.000 Number two, they should give the money back to a lot of countries that we shouldn't be taking and they shouldn't be taking money from.
00:13:35.000 Countries that influenced her totally.
00:13:38.000 And also, countries that discriminated against women and gays and everybody else.
00:13:43.000 I mean, that money should be given back.
00:13:46.000 They should not take that money.
00:13:48.000 Honestly, do you think that'll happen?
00:13:50.000 It should happen, whether or not it will.
00:13:52.000 They're very greedy people, so maybe it won't, but it should happen.
00:14:20.000 And today, the Clinton camp answered and said, her name was just on there.
00:14:25.000 She didn't really do anything.
00:14:26.000 She had no formal role as the Agat quote of the radical Muslim journal.
00:14:30.000 And her mom's the editor, is that right, Brian?
00:14:32.000 Yeah.
00:14:33.000 Well, you know, it's interesting because, of course, that's terrible and it shouldn't happen and it's a lie, it's another lie that they tell.
00:14:39.000 But what about the fact that Uma Abedin, who knows every single thing about Hillary Clinton, she knows more about Hillary than Hillary knows, and she's married to a pervert sleaze named Anthony Weiner, who will send anything that he has out over Twitter or any other form of getting it out. 0.97
00:14:56.000 I mean, she's married to Anthony Weiner.
00:14:58.000 She knows everything that Hillary Clinton is doing, and she's married to a guy that has no control over himself.
00:15:04.000 Okay, and that's of course 100% true again, because the whole relationship between Huma Abedin and Weiner and the Clintons, it's really weird and it's kind of odd.
00:15:14.000 Like, how is it that, I mean, this is like a real religious question.
00:15:18.000 Huma Abedin is a religious Muslim.
00:15:19.000 I mean, she talks about it.
00:15:20.000 She married a Jewish guy.
00:15:21.000 That's kind of weird.
00:15:22.000 It's very rare that that happens.
00:15:24.000 It's actually more usual that if you're going to have an intermarriage between a Muslim and Jew, that the man is a Muslim and the woman's a Jew.
00:15:29.000 But to have a Muslim woman marrying a Jewish man is, at the very least, statistically unusual.
00:15:35.000 The whole situation just reeks.
00:15:38.000 The whole thing is just odd.
00:15:40.000 There would be questions asked about this if Huma Abedin were not close to Hillary Clinton. 0.75
00:15:45.000 If Huma Abedin were a Republican, these sorts of questions would be asked on a routine basis. 0.96
00:15:49.000 She's a Democrat, she's close to Hillary Clinton, and therefore everybody sort of ignores it.

00:16:29.000 Okay, so, with that said, with Donald Trump on attack, you figure, okay, Trump is having two good weeks, right?
00:16:35.000 He had a good week last week, except for the whole botched campaign shakeup.
00:16:39.000 Except for the botched campaign shakeup.
00:16:41.000 But, let's talk about, let's talk about what he did today.
00:16:45.000 So Donald Trump, you know, he has that good week, and Hillary Clinton has this terrible, horrible, no good, very bad weekend.
00:16:53.000 And then, as I tweeted on Friday, I tweeted out,
00:16:57.000 Trump's having a good week.
00:16:58.000 Somebody needs to take away his Twitter right now.
00:17:01.000 Take away his Twitter right this very instant.
00:17:03.000 So now, as always, whenever there's good Trump, unfortunately there's also bad Trump.
00:17:08.000 Here's some good Trump, bad Trump.
00:17:18.000 Thanks to Brandon Snipes for the theme, as always.
00:17:20.000 Alright, good Trump, bad Trump.
00:17:21.000 So, we just had the good Trump, right, where he was attacking Hillary Clinton.
00:17:24.000 That's what he needs to do.
00:17:25.000 He needs to attack Hillary Clinton.
00:17:27.000 If he wants to make it tough on people like me, who are at best ambivalent about Donald Trump, he needs to attack Hillary Clinton and never stop attacking Hillary Clinton.
00:17:35.000 Unfortunately, Donald Trump has the... has the...
00:17:38.000 Self-control of my two and a half year old and and so he is and so instead he gets on Twitter this morning And here's Donald Trump on Twitter this morning So he could have a by the way he gave his statement about the Clinton Foundation shutting down pretty major statement He could have tweeted that out sentence by sentence
00:17:56.000 I don't know.
00:18:13.000 Yeah.
00:18:14.000 And then he tweeted this, that wasn't the only one.
00:18:16.000 And he tweeted more.
00:18:17.000 So first of all, I will just point out that I definitely want to hear the real story behind Joe and Morning Mika.
00:18:34.000 I think that would be really amusing.
00:18:35.000 I can't wait to hear all the dirty secrets.
00:18:37.000 I think that's that's spectacular.
00:18:39.000 So that's that's just wonderful.
00:18:41.000 But that said, what this has to do with Hillary Clinton is beyond me.
00:18:45.000 And I'm old enough to remember when within 48 hours, Kellyanne Conway was saying you don't attack the refs. 0.94
00:18:50.000 Just go after Hillary Clinton.
00:18:51.000 It's a waste of time.
00:18:52.000 But Donald Trump, again, because he has no capacity to hold himself in, he does this.
00:18:56.000 So I think this is a big deal, no.
00:18:57.000 I think attacking the media is not a big deal, but it underscores one of the big problems that Trump is having in polls right now.
00:19:02.000 One of the big problems that Trump is having in the polls right now is that people think he's unstable.
00:19:06.000 They think he's volatile.
00:19:07.000 They don't trust him to be presidential.
00:19:09.000 Now, Donald Trump had the most presidential moment of his entire campaign on Friday.
00:19:14.000 He gave a bunch of good speeches last week.
00:19:16.000 He gave a good speech on ISIS, and then he gave a good speech on crime, and then he gave a speech on Friday night on race that was, I think, you know, a little dicey, but it was still pretty good, and we'll talk about that in a little while.
00:19:26.000 But the best thing that he did was he went down to Louisiana, and this was really smart.
00:19:30.000 There's this natural disaster, and he goes down to Louisiana.
00:19:32.000 So let me be the first to point out, I think
00:19:35.000 I hate political falsity in all of its forms. 1.00
00:19:39.000 I think that the, I'm a politician, I'm gonna go visit the place of the disaster, is the stupidest trope. 1.00
00:19:44.000 It's the dumbest trope in American politics. 0.99
00:19:46.000 Most of the people there don't want you and your Secret Service team descending and clogging up all the traffic. 0.98
00:19:52.000 Most of the people, whenever Barack Obama comes to LA, I just think to myself, get the hell out.
00:19:56.000 I don't want you here.
00:19:57.000 All you do is clog up the traffic on the 405 and make it impossible for my wife to get home. 1.00
00:20:01.000 Just please, don't come.
00:20:02.000 But there's this trope in politics now, and it's been true for years, that if you want to show you care, you go to a disaster area.
00:20:09.000 And Barack Obama, back in 2005, during Hurricane Katrina, he came out and he said it's just terrible that George W. Bush wouldn't go down and visit Hurricane Katrina site.
00:20:18.000 And he did.
00:20:19.000 He went down a few days later.
00:20:20.000 But it wasn't his responsibility. 0.99
00:20:22.000 I think this whole thing is dumb. 0.98
00:20:24.000 Like, what are you going to do? 0.99
00:20:24.000 You go down there, you hand out a couple of toys, and then you leave. 0.99
00:20:27.000 Yay! 0.99
00:20:28.000 Okay, so I don't like that sort of thing.
00:20:31.000 But Barack Obama ripped Bush up and down.
00:20:33.000 And then in 2012, of course, he did the same thing with Hurricane Sandy.
00:20:36.000 Chris Christie invited him to New Jersey because he was trying to foreclose the possibility of a Cory Booker run for governor.
00:20:42.000 Cory Booker is, of course, the now black senator.
00:20:44.000 Well, he's always black, but now senator from New Jersey.
00:20:46.000 And Cory Booker was thinking about running against Chris Christie in New Jersey.
00:20:50.000 So Governor Christie invited Barack Obama like a week before the election to come to the site of Hurricane Sandy and look concerned.
00:20:57.000 And that swung a lot of votes. 0.99
00:20:58.000 It made Obama look like he cared, whereas before he seemed like he was kind of an uncaring jerk. 1.00
00:21:04.000 I don't know. 0.99
00:21:22.000 They ignore all of this, of course, because Barack Obama's the president. 0.98
00:21:25.000 When Bush was the president, and he didn't go down to Hurricane Katrina land, it was because, as Kanye West put it, he hated black people. 0.56
00:21:31.000 But Barack Obama, he loves black people enough that he can ignore black people drowning in Baton Rouge so that he can golf with all the white folks in Martha's Vineyard. 0.70
00:21:38.000 So, Trump kind of sees this, and he goes down to Louisiana.
00:21:42.000 Really smart.
00:21:43.000 Really smart.
00:21:44.000 That right there is solid good Trump, right?
00:21:46.000 He goes down to Louisiana, and he hands out toys.
00:21:49.000 He takes a bunch of toys off his truck, and he gives them to all the kids, and that's just great.
00:21:53.000 And the Louisiana governor, who's a Democrat, thanks Trump for coming down and putting focus on it.
00:21:58.000 And Hillary Clinton is sitting in her coffin in her Transylvanian castle somewhere, and she can't be roused from her sleep until night falls.
00:22:07.000 So she couldn't go to Louisiana.
00:22:09.000 There was too much sunlight.
00:22:11.000 Plus, there are a bunch of people who believe in the occult in Louisiana, and they don't take kindly to vampires.
00:22:14.000 So Hillary Clinton, you know, she didn't show up in Louisiana. 1.00
00:22:18.000 She instead phoned it in.
00:22:19.000 Like, literally phoned it in.
00:22:20.000 She got on the phone, and she said to all these people, okay, well, you know, good luck.
00:22:25.000 And everyone went, great job, Hillary. 1.00
00:22:26.000 And so Obama now, on Friday, Obama flipped himself.
00:22:29.000 He said, I'm not going to go down to Louisiana.
00:22:31.000 And then, just an hour after Trump shows up, he says, oh, no, no, no.
00:22:35.000 It's very important.
00:22:36.000 Very, very important.
00:22:37.000 I go down to Louisiana.
00:22:39.000 I think it's very important.
00:22:40.000 He said that on Friday.
00:22:41.000 On Friday, he said he would come down on Tuesday.
00:22:44.000 Now he's saying, I need a couple more days to go off.
00:22:46.000 Let's go Thursday.
00:22:47.000 So all of this is great for Trump, right?
00:22:49.000 That's good Trump.
00:22:50.000 It's smart Trump.
00:22:52.000 All of that happens, and then over the weekend, and then over the weekend, Donald Trump gets himself in a little bit of trouble.
00:22:59.000 So it's important to mention who's the new staff at Donald Trump headquarters here.
00:23:03.000 So Steve Bannon, who had one job take away his Twitter feed.
00:23:07.000 Steve Bannon fails at that.
00:23:08.000 But the other person at campaign headquarters is Kellyanne Conway.
00:23:11.000 Kellyanne Conway
00:23:13.000 As we mentioned last time, she's the campaign manager now.
00:23:16.000 And Kellyanne Conway is a very mainstream conservative.
00:23:22.000 She's in the past stumped for Marco Rubio-style amnesty.
00:23:25.000 And so now, Donald Trump looks like he is making some moves with regard to illegal immigration that may, in fact, make Ann Coulter spontaneously combust.
00:23:34.000 So according to BuzzFeed.com, in a Saturday meeting with his newly announced Hispanic Advisory Council,
00:23:40.000 Donald Trump suggested he is interested in figuring out, quote, a humane and efficient manner to deal with immigrants in the country illegally, according to three sources.
00:23:48.000 Trump, however, stressed any new announcements will still be in line with the border security-focused approach.
00:23:53.000 That has invited intense opposition from Latinos and immigrants since he launched his campaign.
00:23:59.000 According to Jacob Monte, a Houston-based immigration lawyer, he said,
00:24:24.000 So the Trump campaign says that this is clickbait journalism.
00:24:26.000 He says that he didn't open the door to legalization.
00:24:29.000 But it sounds a little bit like Trump is opening the door to legalization.
00:24:32.000 And I want to talk about the ramifications of that in a minute.
00:24:34.000 But here is the proof that Trump seems like he's opening the door to legalization of the 11 million illegal immigrants already here.
00:24:40.000 Now note, if he does that, then his new plan will be a border wall.
00:24:47.000 If that sounds exactly like Marco Rubio's plan, that's because it's almost exactly Marco Rubio's plan.
00:25:01.000 So the thing that Trump was calling amnesty before, according to at least this BuzzFeed article, may be Donald Trump's new policy.
00:25:07.000 And there are a few things going on here I want to talk about, but let's start with the proof.
00:25:10.000 That there's a bit of hedging going on inside the Trump camp.
00:25:12.000 So Senator Jeff Sessions has been a Republican from Alabama.
00:25:16.000 He's been Trump's number one campaign advisor on the issue of immigration.
00:25:20.000 And I know Senator Sessions.
00:25:21.000 He's very hardcore on immigration.
00:25:24.000 And a few years back, probably two years back,
00:25:26.000 I was in Florida at an event with the Horowitz Freedom Center, and I literally sat at a table with Ann Coulter, Jeff Sessions, and Stephen Miller, the top kind of campaign surrogate for Trump, and all of us talked about immigration until late into the evening.
00:25:39.000 Sessions and Coulter were just in love with each other because they are so hardcore on immigration.
00:25:44.000 So Sessions, a very, very hardcore immigration guy, basically wrote Trump's immigration plan.
00:25:49.000 Here's Jeff Sessions trying to explain that Donald Trump hasn't changed his viewpoint.
00:25:53.000 Is that true?
00:25:53.000 Has he changed his view on deportation?
00:25:56.000 He has not changed his view, but he had a great meeting with people who had different ideas, and I understand I wasn't there, but he had a good discussion.
00:26:04.000 He listened to all the different views.
00:26:07.000 Look, we need a lawful system of immigration.
00:26:10.000 Trump is absolutely clear and correct on that.
00:26:14.000 We must end the lawlessness first.
00:26:16.000 We can't talk about these other issues until that occurs.
00:26:20.000 I think that remains his firm position.
00:26:22.000 So that anywhere between 10 to 12 million people here illegally, whatever the number, Trump has suggested that they would be required to physically leave the United States, reapply in order to come back legally.
00:26:34.000 Well, I don't know that he's formally said that.
00:26:36.000 He's discussed that.
00:26:37.000 Other people have discussed that.
00:26:39.000 That's the touchback idea.
00:26:41.000 I'm not sure that's the best solution to the problem, but it's one solution.
00:26:45.000 What do you think is the best solution?
00:26:46.000 Well, I think we have to first end all the lawlessness.
00:26:49.000 This can be done, Tucker.
00:26:51.000 It's very accomplishable with a strong president.
00:26:55.000 A few laws would help, but actually you could do it with current laws.
00:26:59.000 And that's when you can begin to talk more appropriately about what to do with people who've been here a long time.
00:27:08.000 Okay, so what he's basically saying there is kind of incoherent, right?
00:27:11.000 He says, touchback amnesty is something we would consider.
00:27:13.000 Touchback amnesty is left of Marco Rubio.
00:27:15.000 Touchback amnesty is, we'll deport you from the country, and then we'll put you in the back of the line. 0.99
00:27:19.000 You come back in, we'll give you amnesty.
00:27:20.000 You'll be a full citizen.
00:27:21.000 That's what touchback amnesty is.
00:27:22.000 I mean, that's really not a very conservative position.
00:27:26.000 Sessions continues on these lines.
00:27:27.000 He's asked about mass deportation.
00:27:28.000 Now remember, Donald Trump's original plan was, I'm going to round up and deport everyone.
00:27:32.000 When he was asked about this, he said he did his usual Trumpian routine where he says, you have to do it, you have no choice, you have to do it, right?
00:27:40.000 And he kept saying that over and over.
00:27:41.000 And so it brought up the image of a bunch of guys in ice uniforms and butterfly nets running around trying to catch all the illegal immigrants at the local Home Depot. 0.98
00:27:49.000 Well, Jeff Sessions was asked about this, about the mass deportation plan, and here is Senator Sessions.
00:27:54.000 Remember, this is the guy who basically wrote Trump's immigration platform, and he's starting to hedge on mass deportation now.
00:28:00.000 What does that mean to you, humane and efficient?
00:28:03.000 Well, I think first and foremost, he has made clear that we end the illegality, we fix our border and secure it.
00:28:10.000 That can be done with the President alone, really, if he had a determination to do so.
00:28:15.000 And Congress could help make it even better.
00:28:18.000 And then, we'll have to think about what's the right thing to do.
00:28:22.000 He listened to a lot of people.
00:28:24.000 I don't think he made any commitments.
00:28:26.000 He's thinking that through.
00:28:27.000 I think that's the right thing.
00:28:29.000 But he is absolutely committed to the first thing that has to be done, and that's end the lawlessness, to protect Americans from danger and to protect American jobs from excessive flows of labor that pull down wages and job opportunities for Americans.
00:28:47.000 As he's articulated in the primary, ending that lawlessness, and he's talking about law and order now on the stump, ending that lawlessness means removing, soon after he's president, the 11 million who are here from the country, enforcing the laws that he says they are breaking, removing them from the country and then putting them at the back of the line. 0.75
00:29:06.000 Is that your understanding, that that's still his position?
00:29:09.000 Well, he's wrestling with how to do that.
00:29:12.000 People that are here unlawfully, that came into the country against our laws, are subject to being removed.
00:29:18.000 That's just plain fact.
00:29:19.000 Yeah, there was a little confusion about his position, but you're pretty certain about where he is in terms of removing the $11 million from the United States.
00:29:28.000 Well, what I'm certain about is that he did not make a firm commitment yesterday, or the meeting the other day, about what he will do with that.
00:29:37.000 But he did listen, and he's talking about it.
00:29:40.000 Okay, so if that sounds, if that sounds a little vague and a little uncertain, doesn't sound like mass deportations on the table anymore, let's be a little clearer now.
00:29:48.000 Kellyanne Conway, who's much more moderate on immigration personally, here's Trump's new campaign manager explaining that mass deportation may not be something they do.
00:29:56.000 This is on CNN.
00:29:57.000 So does Donald Trump still support that, a deportation force removing the 11 million or so undocumented immigrants?
00:30:06.000 What he supports, and if you go back to his convention speech a month ago, Dana, what he supports is to make sure that we enforce the law, that we are respectful of those Americans who are looking for well-paying jobs, and that we are fair and humane for those who live among us in this country.
00:30:23.000 And as the weeks unfold, as the weeks unfold, he will lay out the specifics of that plan that he would implement as President of the United States.
00:30:31.000 Will that plan include a deportation force, the kind that he just, you just heard in that sound bite, and that he talked about during the Republican primaries?
00:30:40.000 To be determined.
00:30:42.000 Okay, to be determined, and that's, you know, the new line, is that it's all to be determined.
00:30:48.000 Again, I don't understand how that's not a walkback, but it seems to me that that's a walkback.
00:30:55.000 I mean, just being honest with you, it seems to me that that looks a lot like a walkback, because it's a walkback.
00:31:00.000 And here's Trump walking it back a little bit today.
00:31:03.000 We have to be very firm.
00:31:05.000 We have to be very, very strong when people come in illegally. 0.96
00:31:08.000 We have a lot of people that want to come in through the legal process.
00:31:10.000 It's not fair for them.
00:31:12.000 And we're working with a lot of people in the Hispanic community to try and come up with an answer.
00:31:17.000 So you're not flip-flopping?
00:31:19.000 No, I'm not flip-flopping.
00:31:20.000 We want to come up with a really fair but firm answer.
00:31:24.000 Okay, so here's a direct quote from Donald Trump in November.
00:31:43.000 And so he specifically talks about this idea that he's going to deport 11 million people.
00:31:48.000 He's talked about that before.
00:31:49.000 He's going to have this deportation force to deport everybody because you've got to enforce the law.
00:31:55.000 Now, the reason that I mention all of this is twofold.
00:31:57.000 One is, I think this is Trump's attempt at moderation.
00:31:59.000 Now he's attempting to run a general election campaign, and so he's swiveling a little bit.
00:32:04.000 The question is, what are his supporters going to do?
00:32:07.000 What are his supporters going to do about this?
00:32:08.000 And I think the answer is probably going to be, not much.
00:32:10.000 I think his supporters basically think, they fall into two categories.
00:32:13.000 One is, they think that now he's fibbing, but before he was telling the truth, that he's fibbing to get into office, but then he'll get in, and then he'll deport everybody.
00:32:20.000 And then there are the people who say, well, I just trust him.
00:32:24.000 Doesn't matter, whichever way it is.
00:32:25.000 I just trust Donald Trump.
00:32:27.000 I don't trust Hillary Clinton, and so I'll vote for him.
00:32:29.000 That second one, you know, I don't trust him, but he's better than—there are really three, actually, I should say.
00:32:33.000 There's three.
00:32:34.000 There's I don't trust him, but I'll vote for him.
00:32:39.000 That's sort of the Dennis Prager position.
00:32:41.000 And then there is the I trust whatever he does position.
00:32:44.000 And then there's the I trust that he's going to do what he originally said he was going to do.
00:32:49.000 I think that more and more voters are falling into the second category, the I trust him position, the I'm going to at least more of his base, the he's a deal maker, whatever he does is going to be the best, I don't really care, his positions don't matter anymore, I back him personally and I think he's going to be the greatest.
00:33:04.000 This to me is the kind of personal loyalty I don't like in politics just generally.
00:33:07.000 I don't like it from Democrats, I don't like it from Republicans.
00:33:10.000 If you think that Donald Trump is going to deport everybody so you're going to vote for him, good for you, okay?
00:33:15.000 I think you're wrong, I don't think he's going to do any of those things, but at least you think that he's going to do something.
00:33:19.000 If you're one of the people who thinks that his new position is the one he's going to keep,
00:33:23.000 I don't think so.
00:33:39.000 All we heard during the primaries was Donald Trump running ads saying that Marco Rubio, little Marco, was weak on immigration, saying that Ted Cruz was too weak on immigration.
00:33:48.000 Breitbart News made a fortune just saying that Ted Cruz was too weak on immigration, but Donald Trump was a strong man on immigration.
00:33:55.000 He was going to be the one who deported all the illegal immigrants. 1.00
00:33:58.000 He's the one who was going to make sure that the border was enforced.
00:34:01.000 He was the one who was really going to handle our border problem.
00:34:03.000 And it doesn't matter anymore.
00:34:04.000 I've been told that in no uncertain terms by Trump supporters today.
00:34:07.000 I mean, I've talked to a bunch of them today.
00:34:09.000 It just doesn't matter.
00:34:10.000 Whatever Trump says goes.
00:34:11.000 And that's scary to me. 0.94
00:34:12.000 I don't like that idea because that suggests that if Trump were elected, that these same people would defend any dumb thing he did.
00:34:18.000 Because in the end, they're loyal to Trump.
00:34:20.000 And there were people who did this for Bush, too.
00:34:22.000 Or they started defending Bush's expansion of Medicare Part D just because it was Bush.
00:34:27.000 Or they started defending Bush over campaign finance reform just because it was Bush.
00:34:31.000 Once you fall in love with a politician to the extent that you're willing to change your own policies and not hold them accountable for changing theirs, then you're just a subject.
00:34:39.000 You're no longer a citizen.
00:34:39.000 Like, the obligation of citizenship is to hold your politicians accountable.
00:34:43.000 The obligation of being a subject is that your politicians hold you accountable.
00:34:47.000 And right now, Donald Trump is holding people accountable.
00:34:49.000 He's saying, if you don't support me, you're the bad guy.
00:34:51.000 Well, what about you keeping your promise?
00:34:54.000 How about you sticking to your original position?
00:34:56.000 We'll find out how it goes this week.
00:34:57.000 We'll find out whether it makes any difference this week.
00:34:59.000 He's supposed to give this big immigration address on Thursday, and I'll be really interested to see whether Ann Coulter just moves with him.
00:35:06.000 Whether she takes the position that his original position is the real one and this one's just fake for the election cycle, whether she burns him because she actually cares about the principles regarding immigration, or whether she just says, I trust Donald no matter what and whatever deal he cuts is the best deal.
00:35:20.000 I think it's an ugly part of American politics that we've now reached.
00:35:25.000 Where we expect our politicians to lie to us so much, we expect them to shift their positions so much, that all we do in the end is just decide who we like personally, and then we follow them to the ends of the earth.
00:35:36.000 That's a recipe for tyranny. 0.99
00:35:38.000 It's not a recipe for any sort of principled leadership.
00:35:41.000 I mean, I've been told that people are going to hold Trump honest after the election.
00:35:45.000 You know, I'm not seeing a lot of evidence of that so far.
00:35:47.000 So if Trump is elected, there are going to be people who are calling for him to stick with his program.
00:35:52.000 But the question is, which program?
00:35:54.000 The question is which program.
00:35:56.000 So it's, I think that, I'll be interested to see what he does here.
00:36:01.000 But it's just worth reminding that if you get back in that DeLorean and go back just a solid four months or so, all the people who right now are gonna be cheering Donald Trump while he swivels to Ted Cruz's and Marco Rubio's position, really Marco Rubio's, not even Cruz's position, while he swivels to the Rubio position, all those same people were saying that Marco Rubio could never, never, never be elected because of his position on the Gang of Eight bill,
00:36:22.000 Which basically is what Trump is talking about if you just separate Gang of Eight into two sections, the border security and then the legalized illegal immigration.
00:36:30.000 Okay, so that's bad Trump.
00:36:32.000 Then there's some good Trump.
00:36:33.000 So Donald Trump gave a speech on Friday in which he talked about race.
00:36:38.000 And in the speech he did something that I thought was great.
00:36:39.000 He made a direct appeal to the black community. 0.97
00:36:41.000 He said, you guys need to vote for me because Democrats have done an insanely crappy job at taking care of black people, particularly in inner cities. 0.98
00:36:48.000 100% true. 0.98
00:36:49.000 100% true.
00:36:49.000 And here's Kellyanne Conway saying the truth, which is that the media are ripping on Donald Trump for saying the same thing to black voters that Democrats constantly say to black voters, except Trump doesn't have a bad record of having black people in the inner city rely on his leadership and then failing.
00:37:06.000 Many in the African-American community saw that as insulting because they say most African-Americans don't live in poverty and that Mr. Trump was making those comments in communities that are more than 90% white.
00:37:16.000 But those comments are for all Americans, and I live in a white community.
00:37:20.000 I'm white.
00:37:21.000 I was very moved by his comment.
00:37:23.000 In other words, he is trying to tell Americans that we can do better.
00:37:26.000 And the thing that he said that I think got a great deal of resonance is that maybe Hillary Clinton looks at you as voters this year, takes you for granted.
00:37:33.000 I look at you as people.
00:37:34.000 And again, George, if you think 58% of unemployment in the African-American youth community is a good idea, then absolutely, please go vote for Hillary Clinton, everyone. 0.99
00:37:43.000 Okay, so, you know, what she's saying here is basically true, that Republicans should have been making the play for the black vote for a long time, and Trump's finally doing it. 0.73
00:37:51.000 The only problem with Trump doing it is that Trump is so rough that even when he tries to make a solid pitch to black voters, and I think there's a great pitch that Republicans can make to black voters, Trump strong-arms it. 0.53
00:38:01.000 He just goes over the top.
00:38:02.000 Now, I will say this.
00:38:04.000 I'm not going to hold Trump here to a standard that I won't hold Democrats.
00:38:07.000 Democrats are constantly treating blacks as a group.
00:38:09.000 They're constantly saying every black person in America—they've said this—every black person in America has experienced white racism.
00:38:15.000 Really?
00:38:15.000 Has Colin Powell's kid experienced white racism?
00:38:18.000 How much white racism has Barack Obama really experienced?
00:38:21.000 Not a lot.
00:38:22.000 How about his kids?
00:38:24.000 Not a ton.
00:38:24.000 I mean, certainly no more than I've experienced anti-Semitism, and I'm certainly not a victim of anti-Semitism.
00:38:30.000 You know, there are anti-Semites out there, but my life has not been a story of discrimination against Jews.
00:38:35.000 In any case, Donald Trump speaks about black folks as a collective, and that, to me, is a problem in the same way that Democrats do.
00:38:42.000 This is why I say that Trump is sort of the mirror image of Democrats.
00:38:45.000 He kind of pursues a tribal view of human nature.
00:38:48.000 Here's Donald Trump talking about the black community.
00:38:50.000 Some of this is good and some of this is not.
00:38:52.000 Look how much African American communities have suffered under Democratic control.
00:38:59.000 To those I say the following.
00:39:03.000 What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump?
00:39:12.000 What do you have to lose?
00:39:14.000 I say it again.
00:39:14.000 What do you have to lose?
00:39:16.000 Look, what do you have to lose?
00:39:17.000 You're living in poverty.
00:39:19.000 Your schools are no good.
00:39:20.000 You have no jobs.
00:39:24.000 58% of your youth is unemployed.
00:39:28.000 What the hell do you have to lose?
00:39:37.000 And at the end of four years, I guarantee you that I will get over 95% of the African-American vote.
00:39:47.000 I promise you.
00:39:49.000 Okay.
00:39:50.000 I mean, if that's what his—Mike Pence was asked about this and started laughing out loud, that Trump is going to win 95% of the black vote.
00:39:57.000 Right now, Donald Trump's black vote consists of, in order, Jesse Lee Peterson, Omarosa, Diamond and Silk, Larry Elder, and maybe, maybe,
00:40:09.000 A couple other people?
00:40:10.000 Like maybe?
00:40:11.000 I'm struggling for more names.
00:40:12.000 It's like six people total.
00:40:14.000 I mean, he's literally pulling at 1% of the black community.
00:40:16.000 He says he's gonna get 95% of the black community. 0.98
00:40:19.000 That's silly talk. 0.95
00:40:21.000 So as a general message, what he's saying is right. 0.98
00:40:25.000 Democrats have totally done nothing for black people. 1.00
00:40:28.000 They've ruined black lives. 1.00
00:40:29.000 They've gotten black people killed in cities all across America with their perspective on law enforcement. 1.00
00:40:35.000 They've enabled a culture that doesn't value education and that values poverty. 0.97
00:40:39.000 All of that is 100% true.
00:40:41.000 All of that is 100% true.
00:40:43.000 At least that's what Democrats have done to black people. 0.91
00:40:46.000 But when he says things like, when he says, you don't have jobs, you're unemployed, your schools suck, wouldn't it have hurt him that much just to say too many of you are unemployed?
00:40:56.000 Too many of you are without jobs and good schools?
00:40:59.000 Too many of you are without opportunity?
00:41:01.000 I mean, he makes it sound like every black person in America doesn't have a job.
00:41:05.000 Now, again, I'm not going to hold him to a standard I won't hold Democrats.
00:41:08.000 Democrats do the same thing.
00:41:09.000 I mean, Joe Biden went on the campaign trail in 2012 and literally said that Mitt Romney was going to put black people back in chains. 0.85
00:41:17.000 He was going to clap them back into irons as slaves. 0.98
00:41:20.000 Democrats do it all the time, but I don't like just labeling groups as a general rule, and Trump does it here, so I'll condemn him for that, even though I think that the general message, which is Democrats suck at taking care of black folks just like they suck at taking care of all folks, that is true. 0.98
00:41:34.000 Okay. 0.94
00:41:34.000 Time for some things I like, and then some things that I hate. 0.94
00:41:37.000 So, things I like.
00:41:38.000 So my friend Jeremy is in Israel so we're going to do sort of biblically related material this week.
00:41:45.000 So this is a fiction book by James Michener called The Source and it's a really fantastic book.
00:41:50.000 It's all about, it starts off, it's sort of a pastiche, it starts off with somebody digging
00:41:57.000 We're good to go.
00:42:24.000 Okay, other things that I like.
00:42:26.000 Okay, so Andrew Klavan sent me this particular video.
00:42:30.000 And this is sort of how I feel about the selection cycle.
00:42:32.000 But this woman did not get her Chicken McNuggets. 1.00
00:42:36.000 And things went really, really poorly when she didn't get her Chicken McNuggets.
00:42:40.000 And I have to show up just because this is hilarious.
00:42:43.000 She's literally getting out of the car right now.
00:42:48.000 And pushing the window open of the drive-thru.
00:43:08.000 I'm trying to hit people. 0.85
00:43:09.000 I'm pissing at people. 0.97
00:43:11.000 Best line so far?
00:43:13.000 You have not yet seen me take my ultimate form.
00:43:19.000 Pretty spectacular.
00:43:36.000 So this woman is now bashing on the drive-thru window with her elbow. 1.00
00:43:39.000 I don't know where Clayton gets this stuff or what he does with his free time, but... She's literally trying to smash the window. 1.00
00:43:46.000 And she gets back in her car and everybody thinks things are okay.
00:43:49.000 Aha! 0.94
00:43:50.000 But just wait.
00:43:53.000 And she smashes the window. 0.59
00:43:57.000 I don't know what she's using to smash the window, and then... 1.00
00:44:02.000 And then what I love is that the next car just drives up, and they're like, can I have some McNuggets?
00:44:08.000 I think that society may have gone insane, and also we may need to find out what Chelsea Clinton was doing the evening of December 31st, 2009, because that lady does bear a weird resemblance to Chelsea Clinton. 0.81
00:44:21.000 The other thing that I like today, and I don't really like this.
00:44:24.000 Dan Bongino is a Trump surrogate, and you've seen him on TV before.
00:44:27.000 He hosts, or he has hosted in the past for Mark Levin.
00:44:30.000 I've dealt with him before.
00:44:31.000 He's always been a nice guy.
00:44:33.000 There's a certain rule in politics.
00:44:35.000 If you're in the middle of an interview you don't want to do, take off the microphone and leave.
00:44:39.000 If you're in the middle of an interview with your phone, and somebody asks you a question you don't want to answer,
00:44:45.000 Put down the phone and walk away.
00:44:47.000 If you don't do that, terrible things happen.
00:44:49.000 That's what happens here.
00:44:50.000 Mark Caputo from Politico is interviewing Dan Bongino, who's this Trump surrogate, and things go very, very poorly.
00:44:56.000 No, do me a favor.
00:44:59.000 Answer my question first, and then you can continue with your slurs and insults.
00:45:04.000 So where in the story, where in the story is there propaganda?
00:45:09.000 Let me ask the question.
00:45:11.000 I'll handle the questions and you handle the answers, okay?
00:45:13.000 Because that's what this is about.
00:45:16.000 Why are you yelling, Dan?
00:45:17.000 Don't get so angry.
00:45:19.000 Oh, now you're swearing!
00:45:20.000 Good Lord!
00:45:22.000 So again, I'll handle the questions.
00:45:24.000 I'll handle the questions and you handle the answers.
00:45:27.000 Okay, you're still not answering the question.
00:45:29.000 We've been on the phone now.
00:45:31.000 Okay, are you going to interrupt me?
00:45:36.000 Where's the propaganda here in this story?
00:45:39.000 It seems pretty straightforward.
00:45:40.000 That's not in that story he's linking to.
00:45:44.000 You're not answering my question about that story.
00:46:00.000 You're really angry in your swearing day.
00:46:02.000 You shouldn't get so angry.
00:46:04.000 Why don't you just answer the question and be honest about things?
00:46:08.000 Because you're not answering my question, you're inventing a different question.
00:46:15.000 The problem is you're screaming, you're swearing, and you're throwing around these terms.
00:46:20.000 That's the problem.
00:46:25.000 Uh, no.
00:46:25.000 No, no, you're embarrassed because you can't answer the question.
00:46:29.000 You can't answer the question.
00:46:30.000 So you, you, just to clarify.
00:46:31.000 So this is not, Jim, we'll pause it.
00:46:33.000 This is not the actual inflammatory part of the interview.
00:46:35.000 I don't think we could play that part on the air.
00:46:37.000 Uh, the reason we can't play that part on the air is because Dan loses his mind.
00:46:40.000 I mean, Dan starts cursing at this guy, like, blue streak, F this, F that.
00:46:44.000 The only reason I put this in Things I Like is because it's a good object lesson.
00:46:47.000 Folks, if you don't want to be involved in a bad conversation, walk away. 0.99
00:46:51.000 And yes, Mark Caputo sounds like an absolute jerk, the interviewer. 0.98
00:46:55.000 But if you don't want to be involved in this conversation, the nice thing about phones is that they have an off button. 0.99
00:47:00.000 There's a hang-up button on his cell phone, and he should have used it.
00:47:03.000 Okay.
00:47:04.000 Things that I hate.
00:47:04.000 Donald Trump, first of all, he says he wants to film The Apprentice from the White House.
00:47:08.000 Trump filming The Apprentice, I'm going to say that this is a thing I hate, not because I think that it's ridiculous that Trump's doing it, although I do.
00:47:13.000 It's because Barack Obama turned the presidency into a reality show.
00:47:16.000 We've spent the last eight years watching Barack Obama golf.
00:47:19.000 I was at the bookstore yesterday and there was a book on the shelf that was a history of basketball through the prism of Barack Obama.
00:47:26.000 And I thought to myself, the dude, have you seen the tape of him trying to shoot an outside jumper?
00:47:30.000 Like, I don't have a good outside jumper.
00:47:31.000 My jumper's at least as good as Obama's. 0.69
00:47:33.000 I mean, Obama, he, there's a, at an Easter egg hunt, like, four years ago, he went 0 for 21 from the field with no one guarding him.
00:47:40.000 Right?
00:47:40.000 And there's a whole book about him on basketball, and it's just like, really?
00:47:43.000 He turned the presidency into a reality show, and then you're shocked when a reality show guy tries to take the presidency?
00:47:48.000 No tremendous shock there.
00:47:50.000 Okay, other things that I hate.
00:47:51.000 So Donald Trump, there's a competitive state, or what used to be a competitive state called Colorado.
00:47:56.000 And the Trump campaign office in the fourth largest district in Colorado is run by a person who is 12 years old.
00:48:05.000 Literally 12 years old.
00:48:07.000 And here's a little bit of the tape of the 12-year-old.
00:48:11.000 Hey Jefferson, I'm good.
00:48:12.000 You?
00:48:12.000 In one of the most important elections of our lifetime.
00:48:15.000 I understand you signed up to volunteer for the Trump campaign.
00:48:18.000 In one of the most important counties in the state.
00:48:21.000 Mom.
00:48:21.000 The Donald Trump campaign is relying on 12-year-old Weston Eimer.
00:48:25.000 I am the co-chair for the Jefferson County Trump campaign.
00:48:29.000 We found him Friday, putting the final touches on the Jefferson County Field Office, opening tomorrow in Wheat Ridge, the place where volunteers will gather to get out the vote.
00:48:38.000 Last year at school, kids would bully me.
00:48:40.000 Weston admits sitting behind the big desk may not always be the coolest thing to do, but he loves it now and hopes to inspire others.
00:48:48.000 Get involved.
00:48:49.000 That's what I'm going to say.
00:48:50.000 Just get involved.
00:48:51.000 Kids need to be educated.
00:48:52.000 I'm putting these in because these are the ones that were here earlier.
00:48:55.000 Of course, on paper, his mom is the official field coordinator, but she hopes giving her son so much responsibility teaches other parents, Democrat.
00:49:03.000 Or Republican.
00:49:04.000 You have a responsibility to your children to teach them.
00:49:07.000 Weston is hoping to continue his role until school starts in September.
00:49:11.000 Restart it now.
00:49:12.000 Recruiting friends, making the boss proud, and maybe launching a career.
00:49:16.000 We can stop it there.
00:49:18.000 So the problem with this is not kids getting involved in politics.
00:49:20.000 That's fine.
00:49:21.000 That's fine.
00:49:21.000 The problem is that this kid's actually like the field manager in the fourth largest district in Colorado, which is a swing state.
00:49:28.000 So I'm going to say that the ground operation for the Trump campaign needs a little bit of work.
00:49:32.000 I mean, when your ground operation in Colorado shuts down at 9.30 because that's bedtime,
00:49:37.000 Then that is not a good sign for you in any way, shape, or form.
00:49:44.000 Okay, so tomorrow we'll bring you more of the latest Hillary Clinton scandals.
00:49:48.000 We can hope that Donald Trump contains himself.
00:49:52.000 We'll see.
00:49:52.000 I mean, it's still midway through the day.
00:49:55.000 His biggest boo-boo is still the Mika and Joe thing today, but we'll see what the news brings. 0.72
00:49:59.000 Bill Clinton is making an ass of himself as we speak, so we'll talk about that tomorrow.
00:50:02.000 Lots coming up this week on The Ben Shapiro Show. 0.96
00:50:04.000 Thanks for joining us.
