00:00:00.000 Here we are, folks.
00:00:00.000 We've made it all the way to Thursday, and we have tons to talk about.
00:00:03.000 As always here on The Ben Shapiro Show, we will be getting to Saturday Night Live, the attempts to kick Donald Trump off of Saturday Night Live.
00:00:11.000 We'll also be getting to Quentin Tarantino, and of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about cursing children.
00:00:17.000 All that and more here on The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:00:26.000 Okay, so one thing that's so delightful about folks on the left is their constant need to base their belief system on the thoughts of small children.
00:00:35.000 Not just because they have the thoughts of small children on a regular basis and they use their sort of adult bodies to cover up the fact that their ideas are those of small children, but also because they think it's cute to exploit small children.
00:00:47.000 They really do.
00:00:48.000 There's something in the leftist mentality that sees kids as not
00:00:52.000 Creatures to be protected, their innocence to be shielded.
00:00:55.000 But kids are the next wave because, after all, they're the ones who have been less shaped by the social setting in which they live.
00:01:03.000 They're sort of Rousseau's innocents wandering around in the world and teaching us all what it's like to be a perfect human being without sin, blemish, or societal imprint.
00:01:13.000 And what's amazing about all of this is, of course, if you've ever had a kid,
00:01:17.000 I have a near two-year-old right now.
00:01:19.000 I have three younger sisters.
00:01:20.000 I've never dealt with kids.
00:01:21.000 Kids are some of, legitimately, the worst people on the planet.
00:01:25.000 Kids are the worst people on the planet.
00:01:27.000 Not to say they're not innocent.
00:01:28.000 There's a difference between innocent and good.
00:01:31.000 There's a big difference between innocent and good.
00:01:33.000 Kids are innocent.
00:01:34.000 But kids are not good.
00:01:35.000 In fact, sociological studies suggest that the time in your life, in anybody's life, when they are most violent, most apt to do somebody harm, is at the age of two.
00:01:43.000 This is why they call them the terrible twos.
00:01:45.000 Sociologists basically say that if your kids were capable of wielding guns when they were two, then all human life would be extinguished.
00:01:52.000 Because kids who are two years old, they have no concept of the other.
00:01:56.000 They have no concept of anything beyond themselves.
00:01:58.000 They're just selfish and they're creatures of the moment and creatures of whatever they want at that time.
00:02:04.000 But the left thinks that this is representative of the best in humanity.
00:02:08.000 At the same time, the left believes they don't have innocence that's worth protecting.
00:02:11.000 Kids have no innocence worth protecting.
00:02:13.000 The kids should be exposed to everything.
00:02:14.000 They should make their own choices.
00:02:16.000 There was a video online several weeks ago in which there was a father and he had a young son
00:02:21.000 And he had this young son, and this young son wanted, maybe two years old, three years old, and he wanted to buy a Barbie doll.
00:02:27.000 And this obnoxious father goes out and he buys the kid the Barbie doll, which is not that big a deal, but then he makes a video and posts it online talking about how, my son may be gay, but that's not in my control.
00:02:36.000 My son may- Your kid wants to buy a Barbie doll, so you think that your kid wants to have sex with dudes?
00:02:40.000 Like, the kid's two.
00:02:41.000 Can you just hold on there one second?
00:02:43.000 Do you have any sense of proportion whatsoever?
00:02:48.000 In any case, the left loves to exploit kids.
00:02:50.000 The latest iteration of the left exploiting children is this new video that's been brought out by some Latino activists against Donald Trump.
00:02:57.000 And as you'll see, the...
00:02:59.000 The nature of evil, and I really do believe it's evil, the nature of evil is to mix up things that are good and things that are bad into one kind of ball, mix them together so that they're all one.
00:03:10.000 It's like taking Play-Doh and you mix it together until it's all just some giant brown gook.
00:03:16.000 That's what the left does with good and with evil.
00:03:18.000 And you see that with, for example, their sort of emphasis in horror movies, for example, on the relationship between sex and violence.
00:03:26.000 That sex and violence are all mixed up together until violence is sexy and sex is violent.
00:03:30.000 And it's really gross and terrible because that's, of course, not right.
00:03:33.000 Violence is bad.
00:03:34.000 Sex, in the proper context, is very good.
00:03:36.000 Well, they do the same thing with kids.
00:03:37.000 So there's something wonderful.
00:03:39.000 Hola, Donald Trump!
00:03:40.000 Screaming, get out of my country!
00:03:41.000 Republicans use offensive words.
00:03:43.000 So here's a few of our own!
00:03:44.000 F*** you, racist!
00:04:07.000 Hey, I'm Rosa.
00:04:08.000 I'm Ricardo.
00:04:09.000 My friends call me Rick, but you keep calling me Anchor Baby.
00:04:13.000 Wow.
00:04:14.000 Racist.
00:04:15.000 When you say Mexican immigrant.
00:04:17.000 A rapist.
00:04:21.000 And you have attacked people!
00:04:22.000 Um, it's Spanish, idiota!
00:04:24.000 If you get your loco way, pendejo, if you're in the White House, we're America!
00:04:45.000 It would be lovely.
00:04:48.000 Yo, Trump, you may be high on the tolls.
00:04:51.000 Thanks to paint-hair racists, suckers!
00:04:56.000 If you try to report my abuelita, mother f***er, you see the Constitution makes mis- Okay, so this is obviously classy material.
00:05:04.000 All these kids who are just spouting absolute vulgarity.
00:05:09.000 I mean, this is the height of vulgarity.
00:05:10.000 How old is this kid, maybe?
00:05:11.000 This little obnoxious twerp.
00:05:13.000 How old is this kid?
00:05:14.000 This kid's probably, what, eight years old, maybe?
00:05:17.000 Looks like the kid's about eight.
00:05:19.000 And the kid's using MFR and FU Donald Trump, and it's just...
00:05:24.000 So the question isn't why these kids do it, because the kids don't know any better.
00:05:27.000 I mean, they're eight years old, right?
00:05:28.000 The kids are saying what their parents have told them to say.
00:05:30.000 I mean, this kid's clearly reading lines.
00:05:32.000 And when I do the show, I'm not reading off of anything, because we do have a teleprompter, but I'm not using it right now, which is why you can sort of see me thinking, as the show continues, this kid is obviously reading off of placards or off of a teleprompter, right?
00:05:45.000 I mean, I can tell, you can tell, anyone can tell.
00:05:47.000 It looks scripted, because it is scripted, and that's why
00:05:50.000 When the kid is doing the wide eyes and the big hand motion, that's because the kid's not really just saying what the kid is saying.
00:05:55.000 The kid is reading off of something that has been scripted for the kid.
00:05:58.000 Scripted by an adult, right?
00:06:00.000 Scripted by an adult for a kid to say.
00:06:02.000 And the idea here is twofold.
00:06:04.000 One is that kids are all-wise, all-knowing.
00:06:07.000 Kids are the standard of the future.
00:06:09.000 Well, folks, if kids are the ones who are supposed to take our cues from, then I can promise you, as I said yesterday, if the world—this is the beauty of the world that God created.
00:06:18.000 Kids are great.
00:06:19.000 Women are great.
00:06:20.000 Men are great.
00:06:20.000 They're all great when they're in the world together.
00:06:23.000 A world of all men would devolve into sex violence and utter annihilation in three days.
00:06:27.000 A world of all children would be Lord of the Flies.
00:06:30.000 A world of all kids would immediately turn into kids killing each other and exploiting each other and brutalizing each other because that's what kids do.
00:06:38.000 And a world of all women would have its own separate set of issues.
00:06:42.000 But what the left does here is they try to suggest that children know the way.
00:06:48.000 Children know the way.
00:06:49.000 And you hear this also with regard to college students.
00:06:52.000 The left is constantly citing college students.
00:06:54.000 Well, the young, they know.
00:06:55.000 The young have the enthusiasm of youth.
00:06:58.000 They haven't been told what it is that they cannot do.
00:07:01.000 Right, they haven't been told, they haven't learned what it is they can't do.
00:07:04.000 Well, that's not a mark of wisdom.
00:07:06.000 Typically, that's just a mark of stupidity.
00:07:08.000 Sometimes that's a good thing.
00:07:09.000 Sometimes you want people who don't know what they don't know, and so they go out and they do great things, but as a general rule for society...
00:07:16.000 A society ruled by 18-year-olds ends up in the Russian Revolution.
00:07:20.000 A society ruled by 60-year-olds tends to end up in the American Revolution.
00:07:24.000 There is a difference in terms of age, and that's certainly true when you're talking about kids.
00:07:27.000 Forget even college students.
00:07:28.000 This notion that kids are the final authorities is an amazing one.
00:07:33.000 And then, there's another idea that's competing here from the left, which is we care about children.
00:07:39.000 How much do we care about children?
00:07:40.000 We care about children so much that we'll put them in our videos and we'll allow them to speak their minds.
00:07:46.000 Now, of course, they're not speaking their minds.
00:07:48.000 They're speaking the script writer's mind.
00:07:51.000 But that doesn't matter, right?
00:07:52.000 That doesn't matter.
00:07:53.000 They're speaking their minds because we care this much about kids.
00:07:55.000 By the way, reverse, you know, rewind this kid's life about nine years, the kid's in the womb and the left is perfectly happy to kill him.
00:08:01.000 But now that he's out of the womb and he's eight years old, he can talk extensively and curse at Donald Trump.
00:08:07.000 I'm not even getting into the content of this, much of which is unbelievably stupid.
00:08:12.000 How dare you call us anchor babies?
00:08:13.000 Okay, the definition of an anchor baby is your parents are illegal immigrants, you have a kid born in the United States, the kid is an anchor for the parents' naturalization.
00:08:21.000 It's not an insult directed at the baby.
00:08:23.000 It's actually a policy prescription directed at the parents.
00:08:27.000 What makes the kid an anchor is that it's an anchor for the family.
00:08:30.000 You know, only the left really considers kids to be anchors, right?
00:08:34.000 Only the left considers children to actually be full-fledged anchors, not in the sense of immigration, but full-fledged anchors in the sense that they ruin your life.
00:08:43.000 The left actually considers people, small human beings, to be anchors weighing you down, destroying your life.
00:08:49.000 Gloria Steinem, the abortion advocate, yesterday she came out and she said she had an abortion when she was young, and she says she's super happy she had the abortion because it allowed her to live her life.
00:09:00.000 Right, but you also killed the baby, you ghoul.
00:09:02.000 Barack Obama had the same perspective.
00:09:04.000 You remember back during 2008, he talked about his daughters, and he said, if they had sex and they got pregnant, I wouldn't want them to be punished with a baby.
00:09:12.000 The left considers babies a punishment.
00:09:13.000 So when we talk about the language of anchor babies, it's the left that considers all babies to be anchors.
00:09:18.000 Babies are anchors.
00:09:19.000 You can't take them to parties.
00:09:20.000 They don't drink.
00:09:21.000 Right?
00:09:21.000 I mean, there's all sorts of problems with babies.
00:09:23.000 And that means that you can't have your fun.
00:09:25.000 But, for the left, children are always to be exploited.
00:09:27.000 They are always to be exploited.
00:09:29.000 Which is why, in states like California, where I live, in states like California, the left constantly says, we have to do this for the children.
00:09:37.000 Right?
00:09:37.000 And this is always something that's totally unrelated to the children.
00:09:41.000 Because kids are just tools to be used.
00:09:43.000 So here, the kids are tools to be used to curse.
00:09:46.000 And also, again, there's a generalized attack on innocence that the left wants to promote.
00:09:51.000 Anything that remotely resembles childhood innocence has to be completely overthrown.
00:09:57.000 It's important that kids be vulgar.
00:09:59.000 It's cute when kids are vulgar.
00:10:01.000 It's delightful when kids are vulgar.
00:10:02.000 And it's not restricted to this video.
00:10:04.000 Feminists did the same thing.
00:10:05.000 They cut a YouTube video a few months back that was very similar in tone and content to a bunch of girls cursing about how tough women have it in the United States.
00:10:14.000 If these girls actually believe that women have it that tough in the United States, that they can say this sort of thing on YouTube and be famous and be on TV, they should try doing this for one single solitary second in Iran.
00:10:25.000 It would not go well.
00:10:26.000 But here are these little girls who are being trotted out in front of the camera to do exactly the same thing, and again.
00:10:31.000 Follow the trend.
00:10:32.000 The left using children to promote vulgarity and in the process watering down vulgarity and also watering down innocence.
00:10:40.000 So this is another ad that came out a few months ago from feminists.
00:10:43.000 So it's not just Latino activist groups.
00:10:46.000 Pretty.
00:10:48.000 Pretty.
00:10:49.000 Pretty.
00:10:50.000 What the f***?
00:10:51.000 I'm not some pretty f***ing helpless princess in distress.
00:10:55.000 I'm pretty f***ing powerful and ready for success.
00:10:59.000 So what is more offensive?
00:11:01.000 A little girl saying f*** or the f***ing on equal and sexist way?
00:11:05.000 Society treats girls and women.
00:11:07.000 It's our future.
00:11:08.000 So listen up, grown-ups.
00:11:10.000 Here's some words more f***ed up than the word f***.
00:11:14.000 Okay, so we can pause this.
00:11:16.000 I mean, this is just, it's disgusting, and it's absurd, and believe it or not, the word, the F word,
00:11:28.000 Which is very satisfying to say and would be satisfying for me to say right now about all of this.
00:11:33.000 The F word actually is a worse word than pay inequality because the words pay and inequality have actual definitions whereas young girls just shouting the F word at the top of their lungs in obnoxious fashion because their parents are stage parents who are desperate to get their kids in front of a camera.
00:11:48.000 I'm safe in saying that the parents who put their kids on camera here are terrible parents.
00:11:52.000 You're a terrible parent if you take your kid and you exploit your kid on camera by having your kid say the F word on behalf of your political ideology.
00:11:59.000 It makes you a jerk.
00:12:00.000 Okay, the parents have basically just... I can't imagine having parents like this.
00:12:05.000 Thank God I didn't.
00:12:06.000 Thank God I'm not a parent like this.
00:12:07.000 It's just, it's awful in virtually every way.
00:12:10.000 By the way,
00:12:11.000 Don't want to bother getting too deeply into the idiocy of the actual content of this video because it's idiotic in every way.
00:12:17.000 It's not true that women are paid 70 cents, 77 cents on the dollar for every dollar a man earns.
00:12:22.000 It's not true by any statistical measure.
00:12:25.000 It's absolute nonsense.
00:12:26.000 And when girls say, we're pretty effing powerful,
00:12:29.000 Actually, no.
00:12:29.000 You're a seven-year-old girl.
00:12:30.000 You're not.
00:12:31.000 Right?
00:12:31.000 You're so not effing powerful that your parents just stacked you in front of a camera so that they could stack your trust fund, which you won't be able to access for another 11 years, ladies.
00:12:40.000 So, let's comment down there.
00:12:41.000 But this goes to show you that for the left, everything is a tool for exploitation, including children.
00:12:48.000 Including children.
00:12:49.000 If they have to use kids to go after Donald Trump, they'll use kids to go after Donald Trump.
00:12:53.000 If they have to use kids to talk feminism, they'll use kids to talk feminism.
00:12:56.000 And they take a perverse glee, the left, a perverse glee in
00:13:01.000 Taking the filth and excretion of Western society and just wiping it across children.
00:13:07.000 Because children, after all, they're both tools, and they are also empowered beings from whom we should learn.
00:13:16.000 None of this is true.
00:13:17.000 Children are not tools.
00:13:19.000 Children are to be guarded and protected.
00:13:21.000 And the same folks who are saying that these girls are super powerful, the same feminists who are saying these little girls are supremely powerful, are saying that these girls are not powerful enough to stop
00:13:30.000 Feminists and leftists from putting a young boy in their locker rooms that these girls have to look at male genitalia.
00:13:36.000 It is incredible.
00:13:37.000 But this is the left's take on children.
00:13:39.000 Children are not useful to the left.
00:13:41.000 They're not.
00:13:42.000 Children are actually bad for the left.
00:13:44.000 They're only useful if the left can treat them as tiny little Jane Fondas or tiny little emissaries of the wild left.
00:13:53.000 It's particularly absurd in these cases.
00:13:57.000 Now, meanwhile, the left's emphasis on taking control of the entertainment medium continues.
00:14:05.000 You can see the hatred for Donald Trump on the part of many of these activists.
00:14:09.000 A lot of these activists are now calling for Donald Trump not to be able to be on Saturday Night Live.
00:14:13.000 Loretta Sanchez, who is running for Senate in the state of California right now, she's going to get clocked by Kamala Harris, another Democrat in the state of California.
00:14:20.000 Loretta Sanchez is a congresswoman.
00:14:23.000 Most famous, recently, for actually getting caught on tape making fun of Native Americans by going, you can find the tape, it's pretty ridiculous.
00:14:33.000 Loretta Sanchez, she says that Trump is offensive.
00:14:35.000 So she makes fun of Native Americans by dropping the old stereotypical peace pipe routine.
00:14:41.000 But she says that Saturday Night Live should actually ban Trump, and she thinks the government should step in to ban Trump.
00:14:46.000 Here's Loretta Sanchez, that intellectual heavyweight, on why the country just can't take any more of Trump.
00:14:52.000 Yes.
00:15:22.000 Yes.
00:15:24.000 But doesn't Saturday Night Live Congresswoman have a right to book, whether it's one little sketch and Hillary Clinton making a cambio or Donald Trump for the entire hour and a half, you know, have a right to book Donald Trump just as you certainly have a right to speak up and not tune in?
00:15:40.000 Well, in the same way that I...
00:15:44.000 And in the same way, I believe it's up to SNL to understand that when they put a Donald Trump in front of people and he says these type of derogatory comments, that has a direct relationship to what is happening out in everyday lives of Latinos.
00:16:11.000 Okay, what she just said is so legally insane.
00:16:15.000 It's almost unworthy of comment, but since that's what we do professionally here, we'll comment on it.
00:16:19.000 The fact that she says right there that Donald Trump's language is shouting fire in a crowded theater.
00:16:24.000 The only people who ever use the fire in a crowded theater analogy are people who are full-on legally illiterate.
00:16:31.000 OK, the fire in a crowded theater analogy, it comes from an opinion, it's actually a minority opinion by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, in which he suggested that it is not protected by the First Amendment if you were to get up in a theater and shout fire, because that would generate violence and people running over each other and killing each other.
00:16:48.000 If she's actually saying that Donald Trump making jokes on SNL is equivalent to Donald Trump getting up and basically inciting violence, and that that should be illegal, this is where the left wants to go.
00:16:59.000 And the reason that I want to discuss this for just a minute is because the left has this very kind of rosy view of who they are, this deeply rosy view of who they are.
00:17:08.000 Right?
00:17:10.000 Their view is born in innocence just like with these children.
00:17:15.000 And then it is swept through with enthusiasm.
00:17:19.000 And yet they also believe that they're wildly open-minded.
00:17:22.000 So you have Loretta Sanchez here saying Donald Trump should not be on a comedy show.
00:17:26.000 A comedy show that virtually every presidential candidate appears on.
00:17:29.000 But Donald Trump shouldn't appear on it because that's a violation of the First Amendment, basically.
00:17:33.000 It's not covered by the First Amendment for Donald Trump to make jokes on Saturday Night Live.
00:17:38.000 Right?
00:17:38.000 That's not covered by the First Amendment.
00:17:39.000 But then you have people on the left who have this rosy view of themselves.
00:17:43.000 Paul Krugman, who for some unknown reason has won a Pulitzer Prize.
00:17:47.000 Did he win a Nobel?
00:17:48.000 I think he won a Nobel Prize in Economics, Paul Krugman, which is just, which demonstrates that the Nobel Prize in Economics is just the same as the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:17:55.000 Namely, they come straight from the anus of a horse.
00:17:58.000 I mean, it's just absolute worthless garbage.
00:18:00.000 Paul Krugman said in an interview yesterday,
00:18:04.000 At the same time, Loretta Sanchez was saying that Donald Trump should be banned from national television because he disagrees with her on immigration.
00:18:10.000 Paul Krugman was going on national television explaining that if you're a leftist, you're really a leftist because you're open to other views.
00:18:16.000 Because you're open to other—here's Paul Krugman.
00:18:22.000 People like me are aware of what's on Fox News.
00:18:24.000 I have a suspicion that the people who are Fox News watchers have no idea what's on MSNBC.
00:18:30.000 And we see that in lots of things.
00:18:33.000 One of the kind of things we do in my professional circuits is we say that a liberal economist can imitate a conservative economist, can pretend.
00:18:42.000 What would one of those guys say?
00:18:43.000 The reverse is not true.
00:18:45.000 So, there is a level of openness to at least acknowledging that there are other viewpoints, not agreeing with them, but understanding them, that is not symmetric.
00:18:54.000 OK, this is sure not—we know he's smart, by the way, because he has a beard.
00:18:57.000 That's the way it works on the left.
00:18:58.000 If you have a beard, that means you're smart on the left.
00:19:01.000 OK, it's absolute—it's horsepucky when he says that conservatives don't know liberalism, but liberals know conservatism.
00:19:08.000 In fact, there have been several polls that show precisely the opposite.
00:19:11.000 If you're on the left, you are completely ensconced in your own worldview, so much so
00:19:16.000 That you never, ever encounter anybody from the right, which is why you will never see people on the right use children the way that the left used children at the beginning of this podcast.
00:19:25.000 You won't see that.
00:19:26.000 The right doesn't do it.
00:19:27.000 Why?
00:19:27.000 Because the right knows that folks on the left, they may have evil worldviews, but they're not evil people.
00:19:34.000 And we're not gonna abuse our own children in order to achieve the destruction of the other side.
00:19:38.000 The left believes that what they do is cute and wonderful because they've never met anybody on the other side.
00:19:43.000 Loretta Sanchez legitimately is saying that the federal government should basically ban Donald Trump from going on TV.
00:19:50.000 And at the same time, Paul Krugman is saying, no, we understand the right.
00:19:54.000 This is the fundamental disconnect in the country.
00:19:56.000 The left does not understand the right, has no tolerance for the right, and believes that the right is a bunch of MFers, as these kids are saying.
00:20:03.000 More leftists are represented by these children than by the view of leftism espoused by Paul Krugman right there.
00:20:09.000 More leftists shout and scream at conservatives in the manner of these kids, in their own heads, than do what Paul Krugman is suggesting they do.
00:20:18.000 Understand the other side and try to come up with some sort of considered response.
00:20:22.000 The left has no such ideas.
00:20:24.000 And because they're so in this bubble, because they're so in this echo chamber, they're completely incapable of getting out of the echo chamber.
00:20:32.000 And they have to more deeply wrap themselves.
00:20:34.000 It's a political snuggie.
00:20:36.000 They wrap themselves in this echo chamber, and it makes them comfortable.
00:20:40.000 And one of the people who's been made very comfortable by all of this is, of course, Quentin Tarantino.
00:20:45.000 And we talked about Quentin Tarantino a little bit yesterday.
00:20:47.000 Quentin Tarantino, the director of The Hateful Eight, and Inglourious Bastards, and various other overrated films that always get critical plaudits, but really are just a series of mashed up decent scenes with trash.
00:21:00.000 Quentin Tarantino said that cops are murderers in front of a Black Lives Matter protest.
00:21:04.000 Well, people called on him to apologize.
00:21:06.000 And last night, Tarantino, he was looking for an outlet, right?
00:21:09.000 So what did he do?
00:21:10.000 Did he go to Fox News to, you know, see the other side and debate the other side?
00:21:14.000 Did he go and talk to anybody at The Wall Street Journal to see the other side and debate the other side?
00:21:19.000 No.
00:21:19.000 He went over to exactly the guy that
00:21:23.000 Paul Krugman was just talking to you.
00:21:24.000 He went to Chris Hayes over at MSNBC.
00:21:26.000 And there, speaking with Chris Hayes, he spelled out his entire leftist worldview about the police.
00:21:33.000 And again, he did this because he is so insular, he's so ensconced, that it's totally—it's totally fine to never have to explain yourself.
00:21:41.000 Here's Quentin Tarantino pretending to explain himself but really just attacking his critics last night on MSNBC.
00:21:48.000 And they got in touch with me because I had made statements in some interviews, you know, along the way that it suggested that I'm on their side when it comes to this issue of, you know, ultimately what I feel is a problem of white supremacy in this country.
00:22:04.000 Okay, so first of all, what he's saying is the Black Lives Matter movement reached out to him because he was on their side.
00:22:09.000 Okay, the real reason that Quentin Tarantino moved to this side
00:22:13.000 Politically speaking, the real reason he did this is because he got bashed after Django Unchained for using the n-word so many times in the movie.
00:22:19.000 Because people suggested that Django Unchained is a racist movie because the left is so unhinged that a movie about a former slave killing his captors and freeing other slaves was a racist movie in the view of folks on the left.
00:22:31.000 So he decided he was going to cater more to the Black Lives Matter crowd.
00:22:35.000 And then he drops that line that only works if you're in that echo chamber
00:22:40.000 Where he says that police brutality is a problem of white supremacy, right?
00:22:44.000 These are lines that only work among the uninformed and the people who live inside this little Hollywood echo chamber, the same Hollywood echo chamber that says that it's super cute to have kids cursing about politics.
00:22:56.000 And by the way, I keep going back to the kids cursing because it really is insulting to me.
00:23:00.000 As a father of a 21-month-old, I can tell you that my wife and I, we've been known in the privacy of our own home to drop curse words
00:23:09.000 Every so often.
00:23:09.000 And by every so often, I mean on a not infrequent basis.
00:23:12.000 And my wife, who never cursed before she met me, and then I corrupted her.
00:23:17.000 My wife, the other day, she was working in the kitchen.
00:23:21.000 And she dropped something on her foot, and she said, oh, blank.
00:23:25.000 And the blank was the S word.
00:23:27.000 And the baby immediately looks up at her, and she goes, oh, blank, right?
00:23:30.000 And she starts copying her.
00:23:32.000 And at that point, we decide, OK, we can't curse in the house anymore, specifically because it is not a worthwhile endeavor to train your children to curse and be vulgar.
00:23:40.000 It's stupid.
00:23:42.000 It makes your kids stupid.
00:23:44.000 And it engages them in a culture that is problematic.
00:23:48.000 For the left, it's cute when kids do this.
00:23:50.000 For the left, it's cute when kids—it's so cute that we should brag about it.
00:23:53.000 There's a video that Will Ferrell did with his own daughter that's got a bajillion YouTube views, in which Will Ferrell has a full conversation with his daughter, who's just cursing at him, and she's like two years old.
00:24:03.000 And this is just endlessly cute.
00:24:05.000 Now, there's something transgressive about humor that makes it funny for about 30 seconds, but then it continues for another five minutes.
00:24:12.000 It's like a Monty Python sketch.
00:24:13.000 The first 30 seconds is awesome, and then it continues until you die of old age.
00:24:17.000 This is how the left... But for the left, it's so cute and so wonderful when kids curse that it's just wonderful in and of itself.
00:24:24.000 Quentin Tarantino is a kid who is cursing.
00:24:27.000 That's what his movies are.
00:24:27.000 He is a child.
00:24:28.000 Quentin Tarantino, I mean, you look at him.
00:24:29.000 He's an overgrown child.
00:24:31.000 That's all he is.
00:24:31.000 He's an immature, overgrown child who makes video game movies and who spouts basically what are the leftist equivalents of curse words like white supremacy.
00:24:41.000 I would love to hear Quentin Tarantino define white supremacy.
00:24:44.000 And how is he not a part of it?
00:24:46.000 Quentin Tarantino, very rich, white man, exploiting black people for money.
00:24:50.000 How is he not a part of it?
00:24:52.000 Yeah, I'd like to hear him explain that one.
00:24:54.000 There are all of these—curse words are not just.
00:24:57.000 That feminist video has something to say about cursing.
00:25:00.000 They say that the F word is not as bad as pay inequality.
00:25:02.000 For the left, this is true.
00:25:05.000 The real vulgarity for the left is disagreeing with them.
00:25:08.000 If you disagree with the left, you are the curse word.
00:25:12.000 You're worse than the curse word.
00:25:13.000 The curse word is just a word, after all.
00:25:15.000 But if you disagree with them, then you have broken their vision of utopia, and you must be destroyed.
00:25:20.000 And so, Quentin Tarantino is throwing out slurs like white supremacists and anybody who disagrees with him, when the fact of the matter is that what actual white supremacists did, what actual white supremacy was in parts of the black community,
00:25:33.000 For most of American history, until the Civil Rights Movement, white supremacy was very much focused on the idea that the police should never, should never get involved in black-on-black crime, which is why the black-on-black crime rates were always exponentially higher than the white-on-white crime rates.
00:25:48.000 You know, Quentin Tarantino wants to act like the cops are out there to get black people.
00:25:51.000 Well, if the cops were out there to get black people, they would be doing a hell of a lot better job of it.
00:25:56.000 They're not out there to get black people.
00:25:57.000 They're out there to protect black people.
00:26:00.000 And that's certainly true of the black cops in places like Baltimore, where more than half the police force is black.
00:26:05.000 But Quentin Tarantino says it's a problem of white supremacy, again, because he lives in this world where it's cute when kids curse about Republicans, and it's delightful when Loretta Sanchez says Donald Trump should be shut up by the government, and all cops are murderers.
00:26:17.000 And it's infused every part of American life.
00:26:20.000 It's not just true of politics.
00:26:22.000 It crosses over into the entertainment field, as you see from Tarantino.
00:26:25.000 It's crossing over into sports now.
00:26:27.000 It's crossing over into sports.
00:26:28.000 Just yesterday on ESPN, there were a couple of hosts who accused the football coach of Notre Dame of racism.
00:26:36.000 Why?
00:26:36.000 Because he shoved another coach.
00:26:38.000 So the hosts of ESPN Sports Nation, they accused the football coach, his name is Brian Kelly, they accused him of racism after he shoved a black assistant coach during their Halloween game against Temple.
00:26:49.000 He said that he shoved the coach toward the silence because he was yelling at the ref, but
00:26:53.000 Marcellus Wiley, who also happens to be a host on 710 ESPN out here in Los Angeles, and he's the other half of the most obnoxious show on radio, which is the Max and Marcellus show, which is legitimately the worst show in the history of radio.
00:27:08.000 If ever you tune into it, turn it off before your car bursts into flames, spontaneously combust from the horror of that show.
00:27:15.000 Between Max and Marcellus, the intelligence level actually enters into negative space.
00:27:19.000 Marcellus Wiley was on ESPN, and everything is racist.
00:27:23.000 Everything is racist, because inside this little bubble, everything is racist.
00:27:25.000 So here's Marcellus Wiley explaining that even in the context of a basic sporting event, white supremacy reigns supreme.
00:27:31.000 You know, I don't like to play the race card, but I'm gonna go here on this one.
00:27:35.000 I feel like you can here.
00:27:35.000 When you see a black coach getting emasculated, basically, undermined on the sidelines, when he's a coach with authority over those players, they're gonna say, huh,
00:27:46.000 There are very few images and likenesses of a black player with a position of authority on the coaching staff.
00:27:52.000 Very few!
00:27:53.000 And when you see one treated like that, your imagination starts to take over and say, Brian Kelly, we tried to respect all of you guys on a level playing field.
00:28:02.000 Despite the fact that most of us on the field are black, but then most of you on the sidelines are white.
00:28:07.000 But when you undermine one of the few figures that we could actually see in likeness,
00:28:13.000 Now that speaks volumes to those players towards a negative place.
00:28:16.000 Plus that guy's young.
00:28:17.000 So he looks like a contemporary versus an authority figure.
00:28:20.000 So it's almost like, well yeah, he's closer to being us.
00:28:23.000 Yeah, and then you could burn the bridge.
00:28:25.000 Ryan Kelly is as a coach and those players on the field.
00:28:28.000 He looks like a younger coach, a liaison, as you want to say, a bridge between the two.
00:28:33.000 And if you're going to show us that there's a divide between what you think of us or what you think of a black coach, because I guarantee you, if he thought that coach was of his equal, he would not go out there with the one-armed chokehold.
00:28:44.000 I like that point.
00:28:45.000 I think it's right.
00:28:46.000 In other words, it's a bigger deal than if it was a white coach or a white subordinate and he did it as someone his own age and a white man.
00:28:53.000 I get that.
00:28:54.000 So age...
00:28:55.000 I understand but age and race does make it look worse and so but but what's underneath all of that is on the one hand the reaction that like wait are we post-racial which obviously we're not but or is everybody the same or not but no the answer is no you know our country's history and everything does play into something like
00:29:13.000 What I love about this particular show is the ideological diversity displayed by the various hosts.
00:29:17.000 It is wonderful to hear them really, you know, battle it out over the key issues of the day.
00:29:21.000 That is Max talking at the end there, so if you can imagine three hours of Max talking with Marcellus, that is their show on 710 ESPN, and it makes you want to hang yourself.
00:29:31.000 I mean, it's like the scene from Airplane, where the main character is sitting there telling the story of his life, and they cut back to him, and all you see is the swinging feet of the old woman who's sitting next to him.
00:29:40.000 That's basically what their show is like.
00:29:43.000 This is the bubble.
00:29:44.000 This is the echo chamber that they've created for themselves.
00:29:47.000 We're cursing, kids are wonderful, and everything is racist.
00:29:50.000 And it's racist when a coach pushes another coach, which happens on a fairly routine basis, but this coach happens to be a white guy who pushed a black guy, and therefore, it's racism.
00:29:59.000 And then we wonder why there's a disconnect in American politics.
00:30:02.000 Then we wonder why it is we can't have a rational conversation.
00:30:05.000 Maybe the reason we can't have a rational conversation is because every time we start to have a rational conversation, somebody either calls us an MF-er,
00:30:12.000 Maybe a child that's been trained by their parents from youth to think that anyone who disagrees is an MF-er.
00:30:19.000 Or maybe we get called a racist.
00:30:21.000 Or maybe it's suggested that our political point of view means that we're outside the boundaries of the First Amendment.
00:30:28.000 This is the battle for the soul of the country right now.
00:30:30.000 It's not even a battle between left and right, although that is a key battle for the soul of our country.
00:30:34.000 The real battle for the soul of our country is can we even have political conversations anymore?
00:30:39.000 Is it even possible for us to talk together?
00:30:41.000 Because when one side is saying that the other side is so evil that children should be spitting on them and cursing them,
00:30:46.000 And the other side is saying, can we have a conversation about this?
00:30:49.000 There is no conversation to be had.
00:30:51.000 And that's what's truly sad about all of this.
00:30:53.000 And it really is.
00:30:54.000 It really is very sad.
00:30:56.000 And you can see it all the way up to the presidential race.
00:30:58.000 Bernie Sanders, for example, right?
00:31:00.000 The Koch brothers, who are very rich brothers.
00:31:01.000 They're libertarian.
00:31:02.000 They're not even socially conservative.
00:31:04.000 The Koch brothers give a lot of money to various causes.
00:31:06.000 Bernie Sanders, presidential candidate, he was on MSNBC, and he was asked about the Koch brothers, who are, of course, the big leftist bugaboo.
00:31:13.000 And here's Bernie Sanders, a presidential candidate, saying the Koch brothers are
00:31:16.000 They're evil.
00:31:17.000 They're evil.
00:31:18.000 You know, in 1980, Chris, and we don't talk about this enough, David Koch ran for Vice President of the United States on the Libertarian Party ticket.
00:31:29.000 What his agenda was, it was not to cut Social Security or Medicare, but to end Social Security, end Medicare, end Medicaid, end the EPA, end the concept of the Environmental Protection Agency.
00:31:42.000 Basically, he wanted to eliminate virtually every program
00:31:47.000 We're good to go.
00:32:05.000 Some 900 million dollars in this campaign cycle to support right-wing candidates who are going to war, big time, against working families and the middle class.
00:32:15.000 No, I do not think the Koch brothers want to make life better for ordinary people.
00:32:20.000 No, I don't think that the Koch brothers want to make life better for ordinary people.
00:32:23.000 The Koch brothers, by the way, have given tens and hundreds of millions of dollars to various charitable endeavors around the United States having nothing whatsoever to do with politics.
00:32:30.000 But Bernie Sanders thinks that because he disagrees with them and they disagree with him, that they're evil, and they want to hurt people, and that's what they want to do.
00:32:37.000 And then we wonder why it is that the politics of America is so polarized.
00:32:40.000 People blame the extreme right.
00:32:42.000 The extreme right.
00:32:43.000 The extreme right that's now caved on pretty much every issue it's possible to cave on because government's been growing consistently my entire lifetime and for 50 years before that.
00:32:51.000 But they never look to the left.
00:32:53.000 The hating left.
00:32:54.000 The hateful left.
00:32:56.000 The kind of left that thinks that Bernie Sanders is a decent fellow, but that the Koch brothers are awful.
00:33:01.000 The kind of left that thinks that children need to be exposed, females, small girls, need to be exposed to male genitalia, but that is perfectly fine for young girls and boys to curse out political opponents.
00:33:15.000 This is the sort of sick society we're creating.
00:33:17.000 And it's a society that's being created by the left and exploited by the left to polarize and to destroy any possibility of a common language.
00:33:24.000 We don't all want the same thing in America.
00:33:26.000 We don't.
00:33:27.000 One side would like for a country where we all have our own political viewpoints, where we can discuss them, where we have a common language, a shared value system, maybe even a shared concept of liberty.
00:33:37.000 And the other side wants to destroy the first side.
00:33:40.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
00:33:40.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
