Trump goes on CNN with Jake Tapper and asks a question about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan. Trump gives David Duke the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't understand what he's talking about. Does he know anything about the group? Or does he just not give a damn about it? Or is it just another media hit job on a presidential candidate by the far-right wing of the right? Ben Shapiro breaks it all down and explains why it's possible that Donald Trump doesn't even understand what David Duke's racism is all about. Plus, a look at how the Democratic primary candidates are doing so far in the early primary states, and why Bernie Sanders is doing much better than the other candidates in the polls at this point in the primary race. Plus, Ben explains why he thinks Donald Trump is a dumbass and why he should have been able to see David Duke s endorsement of his presidential campaign and why it doesn't really matter.

00:00:00.000 Here we are, it's Monday, and yes, I'm alive, made it out alive from Cal State Los Angeles.
00:00:05.000 We will talk about that.
00:00:06.000 Plus, Donald Trump completely implodes over the Ku Klux Klan, but who really cares at this point? 0.74
00:00:12.000 Primaries are tomorrow, how are those gonna go?
00:00:14.000 We'll talk about all of that.
00:00:15.000 And yes, I promise, we will get to the Oscars, so a chock full Ben Shapiro's show.
00:00:19.000 I am Ben Shapiro.
00:00:27.000 All righty then.
00:00:28.000 Okay, so we begin today with Donald Trump, and I promise there's so much to get to, folks.
00:00:32.000 We're gonna speed through all of it, because that's what we do here.
00:00:35.000 We get through more material than any seven shows put together.
00:00:39.000 All right, so on Sunday, Donald Trump, who is currently leading in, last I checked, I think it's 11 out of 12 or 10 out of 12 of the primary states that are supposed to take place, Super Tuesday tomorrow, Donald Trump was on CNN with Jake Tapper.
00:00:54.000 And this is an important story.
00:00:55.000 So he was on with Jake Tapper, and I don't tend to follow the news too much on Sundays because that's my day to not pay attention to the news, and especially given what happened last week, it was sort of my weekend off.
00:01:05.000 Well, that ended when I checked Twitter, always a mistake, and I saw that people were talking about Donald Trump and the KKK, and I figured, okay, this has got to be another media hit job, right?
00:01:16.000 I mean, come on, Donald Trump, KKK, you gotta be kidding me.
00:01:19.000 Here's what happened.
00:01:20.000 Donald Trump goes on CNN with Jake Tapper, and here's Jake Tapper asking Donald Trump what is, in essence, a gotcha question.
00:01:26.000 And it is a gotcha question.
00:01:28.000 There's no question about this, because how many questions was Barack Obama asked about Louis Farrakhan supporting him?
00:01:34.000 How many questions has Bernie Sanders been asked about the Communist Party supporting him?
00:01:37.000 The answer is none, of course.
00:01:38.000 But Donald Trump has asked about David Duke supporting his run for the presidency.
00:01:42.000 David Duke, of course, a former leader in the KKK, the racist organization.
00:01:47.000 And here is Donald Trump answering this series of questions.
00:01:50.000 And I'll explain why this is important in a moment.
00:01:52.000 Here we go.
00:01:53.000 I want to ask you about the Anti-Defamation League, which this week called on you to publicly condemn, unequivocally, the racism of former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, who recently said that voting against you at this point would be treason to your heritage.
00:02:08.000 Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don't want his vote or that of other white supremacists in this election?
00:02:16.000 Well, just so you understand, I don't know anything about David Duke, okay?
00:02:19.000 I don't know anything about what you're even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists.
00:02:24.000 So, I don't know.
00:02:25.000 I mean, I don't know.
00:02:26.000 Did he endorse me?
00:02:28.000 Or what's going on?
00:02:29.000 Because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke.
00:02:31.000 I know nothing about white supremacists.
00:02:34.000 And so you're asking me a question that I'm supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about.
00:02:39.000 But I guess the question from the Anti-Defamation League is, even if you don't know about their endorsement, there are these groups and individuals endorsing you, would you just say, unequivocally, you condemn them and you don't want their support?
00:02:54.000 Well, I have to look at the group.
00:02:55.000 I mean, I don't know what group you're talking about.
00:02:57.000 You wouldn't want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about.
00:03:00.000 I'd have to look.
00:03:01.000 If you would send me a list of the groups, I will do research on them, and certainly I would disavow if I thought there was something wrong.
00:03:08.000 The Ku Klux Klan?
00:03:08.000 But you may have groups in there that are totally fine, and it would be very unfair.
00:03:11.000 So give me a list of the groups, and I'll let you know.
00:03:13.000 Okay.
00:03:14.000 I mean, I'm just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here, but...
00:03:17.000 I don't know anything.
00:03:18.000 Honestly, I don't know David Duke.
00:03:19.000 I don't believe I've ever met him.
00:03:21.000 I'm pretty sure I didn't meet him.
00:03:22.000 And I just don't know anything about him.
00:03:24.000 I don't know anything about him.
00:03:25.000 Okay. 1.00
00:03:25.000 So when I first saw this clip, I figured, okay, Trump really is a dumbass. 1.00
00:03:29.000 So this is possible. 1.00
00:03:30.000 I mean, he's an ignoramus. 0.97
00:03:31.000 It's possible he doesn't know anything about David Duke. 0.98
00:03:33.000 I assume he's heard of the KKK.
00:03:35.000 And so I first tweeted out that perhaps this was sort of an overstated scandal.
00:03:40.000 You know, maybe Trump, I gave Trump the benefit of the doubt. 1.00
00:03:42.000 Maybe he's really dumb. 1.00
00:03:43.000 He doesn't understand who David Duke is. 1.00
00:03:45.000 He doesn't understand what's going on.
00:03:47.000 And then I did about five minutes of research and I had to delete those tweets. 0.57
00:03:51.000 And that's because, for example, here is Donald Trump on Friday being asked the exact same question two days before that pathetic showing on Jake Tapper.
00:04:00.000 Here we go.
00:04:00.000 Mr. Trump, how do you feel about the recent endorsement from David Duke?
00:04:07.000 I didn't even know he endorsed me.
00:04:08.000 David Duke endorsed me?
00:04:09.000 Okay.
00:04:10.000 Alright.
00:04:10.000 I disavow.
00:04:11.000 Okay?
00:04:13.000 I disavow, okay?
00:04:14.000 So he clearly knows who David Duke is.
00:04:16.000 And then back in August 2015, he was interviewed by Mark Halperin on Bloomberg News, and here is Donald Trump being asked about David Duke at that point.
00:04:24.000 At the same time, we've heard this week that David Duke has come out, former leader of the Grand Dragon Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, come out and said he's supportive of your candidacy.
00:04:33.000 So my first question is, why do people like that, like Donald Trump?
00:04:37.000 And second, how do you feel about the David Duke quasi-endorsement?
00:04:40.000 I don't know the answer to the first, who knows why, but I don't need his endorsement.
00:04:44.000 I certainly wouldn't want his endorsement.
00:04:46.000 I don't need anybody's endorsement.
00:04:47.000 Would you repudiate David?
00:04:49.000 Sure, I would do that if it made you feel better.
00:04:51.000 I would certainly repudiate.
00:04:52.000 I don't know anything about him.
00:04:54.000 Somebody told me yesterday, whoever he is, he did endorse me.
00:04:58.000 Actually, I don't think it was an endorsement.
00:04:59.000 He said I was absolutely the best of all the candidates, but I wouldn't want it.
00:05:03.000 But if you read this story and read a lot of people who are white, in organized white supremacist groups, talking bulliontly about you, talking about why they like you so much, would that trouble you at all?
00:05:14.000 Does that give you pause?
00:05:15.000 Make you wonder about your message?
00:05:17.000 Honestly, John, I'd have to read the story.
00:05:19.000 A lot of people like me.
00:05:20.000 You know, in the poll that just came out in New Hampshire, where I'm a very high number, 35%, the people like me across the board, evangelicals like me, the Democrats like me, liberals like me, conservatives like me.
00:05:33.000 Everybody likes me.
00:05:34.000 There's only a small subset.
00:05:38.000 The bottom line is that even there, he says he doesn't know that much about Duke, but he'll disavow him.
00:05:42.000 Right, it was back in August 2015, so clearly he doesn't have to know him that well in order to disavow.
00:05:47.000 And by the way, back in 2000, Donald Trump specifically said he would not join the Reform Party, he wouldn't run on their ticket, because David Duke was part of the Reform Party.
00:05:56.000 So clearly he knows who David Duke is.
00:05:58.000 Clearly he knows who David Duke is.
00:06:00.000 And clearly he knows the KKKs. 0.97
00:06:01.000 You don't have to be some sort of genius to figure out that the KKK is a bunch of racists.
00:06:05.000 And the fact is that Ronald Reagan was asked this exact same question back in 1984, and Ronald Reagan answered this question very differently.
00:06:12.000 In 1984, Ronald Reagan was asked this, and here is Ronald Reagan's direct quote.
00:06:18.000 Quote, Those of us in public life can only resent the use of our names by those who seek political recognition for the repugnant doctrines of the hate they espouse.
00:06:26.000 The politics of racial hatred and religious bigotry practiced by the Klan and others have no place in this country and are destructive of the values for which America has always stood.
00:06:36.000 So that's how you get it right.
00:06:37.000 Donald Trump didn't.
00:06:38.000 So all of this begs a question.
00:06:40.000 And the question it begs, I don't think that Donald Trump is a big KKK fan.
00:06:44.000 The question that this begs is why didn't Donald Trump do on Sunday what he did on Friday?
00:06:48.000 Why not just say I disavow?
00:06:50.000 Why not just say I have nothing to do with David Duke?
00:06:52.000 What David Duke does is David Duke's business.
00:06:54.000 I don't like David Duke.
00:06:55.000 If he likes me, I can't do anything about that.
00:06:57.000 Why not just drop that and then say to Tapper, and by the way, the fact you're asking me about this again and again and again demonstrates how desperate the media is to tie me to extreme figures like David Duke and to white supremacist groups like the KKK.
00:07:10.000 Why didn't Trump do that?
00:07:12.000 So two theories as to why Trump didn't do that.
00:07:14.000 First theory is the personal theory.
00:07:17.000 Donald Trump, you can sort of see it at work in that 2015 interview.
00:07:20.000 Donald Trump is excited anytime anyone likes him.
00:07:23.000 Anytime anybody likes Donald Trump, that person rises several points in his estimation.
00:07:28.000 They become just a better person, a more important person in his estimation.
00:07:32.000 And so, David Duke can't be all bad, after all he likes Trump.
00:07:35.000 Vladimir Putin can't be all bad, after all he likes Trump.
00:07:39.000 So that's possible explanation number one.
00:07:41.000 Possible explanation number two is a little bit more nefarious and significantly more troubling.
00:07:45.000 And that is the possibility that Donald Trump recognizes that he has a heavy base of support among white supremacists and that those white supremacists would be ticked off if he disavowed them.
00:07:55.000 And I speak here from personal experience, given that, I would say, two-thirds of my Twitter mentions this week have come from white supremacist Trump supporters.
00:08:03.000 This is not to suggest that the vast majority of people who like Trump are white supremacists.
00:08:07.000 They're not.
00:08:08.000 This isn't to suggest that a huge percentage of people who like Trump are white supremacists.
00:08:13.000 That's not true. 0.99
00:08:15.000 But it is to suggest that there is not a not insignificant subset of Donald Trump supporters who are in fact white supremacists, who hate Jews, who hate blacks, who hate Mexicans. 0.99
00:08:24.000 And this should be troubling to you. 0.98
00:08:26.000 This should be troubling to you when he refuses to disavow them.
00:08:28.000 Again, he could say what Reagan did.
00:08:30.000 I have nothing to do with these people.
00:08:31.000 If they like me, they like me.
00:08:32.000 I can't help that.
00:08:34.000 But, he didn't do that.
00:08:35.000 Instead, he sort of embraced them.
00:08:37.000 He quasi-embraced them.
00:08:38.000 And that's deeply troubling to me, and very upsetting.
00:08:40.000 Because I've really spent this entire race, I've said a lot of things about Donald Trump.
00:08:44.000 A lot of things about Donald Trump.
00:08:46.000 But, I really haven't gone after Donald Trump supporters. 1.00
00:08:49.000 I haven't said that Donald Trump supporters are rubes or idiots. 1.00
00:08:52.000 I haven't said that Donald Trump supporters are nasty or mean. 1.00
00:08:55.000 I've said that they're angry people who are being suckered by a con man, essentially.
00:08:59.000 And I understand their anger, I just don't think that their draw to Trump as a conservative is a smart one.
00:09:05.000 I don't think he's trustworthy.
00:09:07.000 In fact, I think he's so non-trustworthy that I did a full-on six-minute video that we'll talk about a little bit later in the program that's now got in excess of 1.5 million views online about why Donald Trump ought not be trusted.
00:09:21.000 And here's Donald Trump the day after this hit on CNN.
00:09:24.000 Here's Donald Trump trying to walk it back.
00:09:26.000 How does he walk it back? 0.99
00:09:27.000 In the most pathetic possible way. 0.99
00:09:28.000 Here he is on Good Morning America. 0.90
00:09:31.000 But in 2000, you refused to run on the Reform Party platform because David Duke was a member of it.
00:09:36.000 I disavowed David Duke a day before at a major press conference, and I'm saying to myself, how many times do I have to continue to disavow people?
00:09:43.000 And the question was asked about David Duke and various groups, and I don't know who the groups are.
00:09:49.000 I said, would you do me a favor and tell me the groups?
00:09:52.000 He was unable to tell me that.
00:09:53.000 He says, I'm just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here, and you said, honestly, I don't know David Duke.
00:10:00.000 Okay, so let me tell you, I'm sitting in a house in Florida with a very bad earpiece that they gave me, and you could hardly hear what he was saying, but what I heard was various groups, and I don't mind disavowing anybody, and I disavowed David Duke, and I disavowed him the day before at a major news conference, which is surprising because he was at the major news conference, CNN was at the major news conference,
00:10:23.000 I don't know.
00:10:39.000 Okay, okay, okay. 1.00
00:10:40.000 So shut up, shut up, shut up. 1.00
00:11:00.000 Okay, so his earpiece is what did him in. 0.99
00:11:03.000 It was a magic earpiece, in which he perfectly heard every question, and answered every question, and there appeared to be no communications difficulty at any time during that interview, and yet it was the earpiece that did him in. 0.97
00:11:13.000 Okay, if you believe that, then I suppose you should just go right ahead and vote for Donald Trump, who is a dishonest human being. 0.98
00:11:19.000 A truly dishonest human being. 0.99
00:11:22.000 How do I know he's dishonest?
00:11:24.000 Apparently, according to BuzzFeed today, the New York Times is sitting on an audio recording that some of its staff believes could deal a serious blow to Trump, who in an off-the-record meeting with the newspaper called into question whether he would stand by his own immigration views.
00:11:36.000 Trump visited the paper's Manhattan headquarters on Tuesday, January 5th, part of a round of editorial board meetings that, as is traditional, the Democratic candidates for president and some of the Republicans attended.
00:11:46.000 The meetings, conducted partly on the record, partly off the record, give candidates a chance to make their pitch for the paper's endorsement.
00:11:53.000 The Times released a portion of the recording, but that was from the on-the-record part.
00:11:57.000 On Saturday, a columnist for the New York Times floated a bit of speculation.
00:12:03.000 The most optimistic analysis of Trump as a presidential candidate is that he just doesn't believe in positions except the ones you adopt for strategic purposes when you're making a deal.
00:12:12.000 So apparently they say, he says, obviously you can't explain how you're going to support 11 million undocumented immigrants, because it's going to be the first bid in some future monster negotiation session. 0.96
00:12:21.000 In other words, Trump may have told the New York Times this, and the New York Times won't release the audio.
00:12:26.000 Of course they won't, because they want to see Trump as the nominee.
00:12:29.000 Because the fact is that Trump is super vulnerable.
00:12:31.000 How vulnerable is Trump?
00:12:32.000 Well, you know what?
00:12:33.000 Let's use that video of me talking about how vulnerable Trump is.
00:12:36.000 This is clip 28.
00:12:37.000 This is the video of me that we put out last week. 0.95
00:12:41.000 And has at least a million and a half views thus far, and will have many more by the time we're done talking about how Donald Trump is, in fact, a liar.
00:12:48.000 We'll only play a little bit of it, but you'll see sort of the temer of it.
00:12:52.000 Donald Trump is fun to watch.
00:12:54.000 He bashes the establishment, and they totally deserve it.
00:12:57.000 He's the biggest man in the race. 0.99
00:12:59.000 He's the roughest, toughest bastard out there, and he tells it just like it is. 1.00
00:13:04.000 Except, he doesn't. 1.00
00:13:05.000 Because as entertaining as Donald Trump is, Donald Trump is a liar. 1.00
00:13:10.000 Who does he lie to? 1.00
00:13:11.000 First, evangelicals.
00:13:13.000 Trump says he loves the evangelicals, that the Bible is his favorite book, it's even better than Art of the Deal.
00:13:18.000 Forget the fact Trump couldn't even name his favorite Bible verse.
00:13:21.000 Focus in on the fact that Trump said he never asks for God's forgiveness.
00:13:25.000 Here are just some of the things Trump isn't repenting for.
00:13:29.000 Bragging about his quote, experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women.
00:13:35.000 Cheating on his first wife, Ivana, after considering asking her for an open marriage.
00:13:39.000 Supporting partial birth abortion until about five minutes ago.
00:13:43.000 Refusing to label abortion murder and stating that Planned Parenthood does terrific work.
00:13:47.000 Writing quote, oftentimes when I was sleeping with one of the top women in the world, I would say to myself, thinking about me as a boy from Queens, can you believe what I am getting?
00:13:57.000 And it continues like this.
00:13:58.000 We don't need to play the whole thing, but this is the point.
00:14:00.000 If you want to watch the whole thing, you can go to Facebook, you can go to dailywire.com, it's up there.
00:14:04.000 It's six minutes and it's a pretty comprehensive case against Trump. 1.00
00:14:07.000 Trump is a liar. 1.00
00:14:08.000 Donald Trump is a liar. 1.00
00:14:09.000 Now, I do want to comment on one thing. 0.98
00:14:11.000 Today, Milo Yiannopoulos, he and I are friends, and Milo discovered, thanks to one of Milo's apparently white supremacist supporters, that I had written a column back in 2011 in which I talked about Donald Trump in pretty glowing terms.
00:14:25.000 Right, in 2011.
00:14:26.000 And the way that people became knowledgeable about this column is because on February 9th, I tweeted out myself to remind people that I had written this about Trump circa 2011.
00:14:35.000 Because the point that I was making is that Donald Trump circa 2011, and even when he got into this race, was a candidate who had tremendous staying power.
00:14:43.000 And if he had an ounce of discipline, and if he had an ounce of actual conservatism to him, then he might be somebody that I would consider.
00:14:51.000 What campaigns do is they strip away layers.
00:14:54.000 And what this campaign has shown Donald Trump to be is an unprincipled liar willing to say anything and do anything in order to achieve his political purposes.
00:15:01.000 He has skills when it comes to taking down the media, but he's also somebody who really will do pretty much anything to attain victory and then even more than that in order to push forward his personal power.
00:15:13.000 Well, meanwhile, the other candidates are beginning to catch on to this.
00:15:16.000 And so Marco Rubio has really gone on the offensive against Trump.
00:15:19.000 And good for Marco Rubio, the senator from Florida.
00:15:22.000 He smacked Donald Trump over the KKK flap today.
00:15:24.000 Here's what Marco Rubio had to say about it.
00:15:27.000 One of the reasons why he said he wasn't going to run is because David Duke was part of the Reform Party.
00:15:32.000 So he knows exactly who David Duke is.
00:15:34.000 He was asked this morning two times, will you repudiate and condemn the Ku Klux Klan?
00:15:40.000 And he refused to do that as well.
00:15:45.000 We cannot be a party that nominates someone who refuses to condemn white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan.
00:15:51.000 We cannot be a party that does that.
00:16:01.000 And all of this is, of course, true.
00:16:03.000 Marco Rubio also has been going after Trump in very personal terms, which
00:16:08.000 Marco, I'm so glad you read my column.
00:16:11.000 I mean, it's clear. 0.99
00:16:12.000 I've been saying for weeks here, the only way you're gonna defeat Trump is by kicking him repeatedly in the nuts. 0.97
00:16:16.000 And that's essentially what Rubio has done. 0.99
00:16:19.000 So Rubio's gone to the extent of actually mocking Trump's genitalia size. 0.98
00:16:23.000 Here's Rubio doing exactly that. 0.94
00:16:25.000 We've told the stubby fingers story about Trump before, that Trump is very sensitive about his supposedly stubby fingers.
00:16:31.000 Apparently, way back when, a parody magazine made fun of him, and they called him a stubby fingered Bulgarian.
00:16:37.000 And ever since then, he's sent
00:16:38.000 His hands are the size of someone who's 5'2".
00:16:40.000 And you know what they say about men with small hands?
00:16:41.000 You can't trust them!
00:17:00.000 And so, good for Rubio.
00:17:01.000 It's not just Rubio, by the way.
00:17:02.000 My boy Ted Cruz, the guy who I'm backing in the primaries, and I'll explain why I suggest that I'm supporting him in the primaries, but I'm not endorsing.
00:17:10.000 I don't endorse candidates because I endorse ideologies.
00:17:14.000 And for me, the candidate who's electorally viable, who best reflects my ideology, is the person that I support at the time.
00:17:21.000 The moment that Cruz becomes not viable, then I'll shift my support.
00:17:25.000 And the moment that, just like the moment that Rubio becomes not viable, I would shift my secondary support to Rubio.
00:17:31.000 So the whole point here is that I support Cruz over Rubio in the primaries, but I'm not going to endorse anybody because if Cruz came out tomorrow and decided that he didn't like conservatism, I would throw him by the side of the train tracks immediately.
00:17:44.000 Anyway, here is Ted Cruz doing the same thing to Rubio.
00:17:49.000 Ted, to Donald Trump as well.
00:17:50.000 Here he is.
00:17:51.000 And what do you think of his statement that he believes he might be targeted by the IRS because he's a Christian?
00:17:59.000 Well, I think his statement, nobody heard it had any reaction other than laughter.
00:18:04.000 Listen, I've released now nine years of taxes.
00:18:07.000 Donald Trump has not released any of his tax information.
00:18:10.000 He needs to release his tax information.
00:18:12.000 And the fact that he's refusing to do so really suggests, as Mitt Romney pointed out, that there may be a bombshell in there, that there's something he's hiding.
00:18:21.000 What do you think it is?
00:18:24.000 Well, a lot of media outlets have reported that he doesn't make nearly as much money as he says he does.
00:18:29.000 You know, who knows?
00:18:29.000 Maybe the fact is that Mitt Romney is richer than Donald Trump.
00:18:34.000 We don't know, but he's clearly hiding something.
00:18:37.000 On the other hand, it could be donations to liberal groups like Planned Parenthood.
00:18:41.000 At every debate, it seems, he praises Planned Parenthood.
00:18:44.000 Maybe he's written them a bunch of checks.
00:18:46.000 Uh, or, you know, maybe there are other issues.
00:18:47.000 You know, for example, there have been multiple media reports about Donald's business dealings with the mob, with the mafia.
00:18:56.000 Maybe his tax returns show that those business dealings are a lot more extensive than...
00:19:00.000 So Cruz and Rubio are going really, really hard after Trump, and Trump totally deserves it.
00:19:05.000 And hopefully it will have some impact on the polls, although I doubt it.
00:19:07.000 It's very late in the game at this point.
00:19:10.000 Over the weekend, by the way, we saw Chris Christie, the man who may be most responsible for the demise of the Republic over the last eight years.
00:19:16.000 Chris Christie doesn't hug Obama during Hurricane Sandy in the midst of a presidential election.
00:19:20.000 Mitt Romney might be president right now.
00:19:22.000 And now Chris Christie
00:19:24.000 Who spent an enormous amount of time bashing Donald Trump during the debates and before, suddenly he has endorsed Donald Trump.
00:19:30.000 He did that immediately after the debate last week.
00:19:36.000 So here, we didn't have a chance to review the debate even, but my general take was that Trump looked weak, he looked vacillating, but I'm not sure how much it's going to matter.
00:19:45.000 For the full rundown, you can go to dailywire.com.
00:19:47.000 In any case, Chris Christie, let's start with what Chris Christie originally said about Donald Trump.
00:19:53.000 So that would be,
00:19:54.000 Clip 10, if we can get that one.
00:20:10.000 Okay, and he did that repeatedly throughout the campaign. 0.99
00:20:12.000 It was Christie bashing Trump as incoherent, as stupid, and now all of a sudden he's in favor of Trump and he's bashing Rubio. 1.00
00:20:20.000 So he's the new attack dog. 1.00
00:20:22.000 Right after Marco Rubio smacked around Donald Trump, Trump walks out Chris Christie to be his attack dog.
00:20:27.000 And here's what it looks like when Christie's doing the attack dog routine against Marco Rubio. 0.99
00:20:31.000 I saw Senator Rubio just saying
00:20:34.000 Just saying that he, that he is going to work every minute he can to become the nominee for president.
00:20:43.000 Well, that'd be a real switch for Senator Rubio since he doesn't work much at all.
00:20:50.000 Now, I'm not just making this stuff up.
00:20:52.000 Let me tell you exactly what Marco Rubio's done since he's been a United States senator.
00:20:56.000 Seems to me, when you're a senator and you're on some committees, you should actually show up for work.
00:21:02.000 Do you have to show up for work?
00:21:04.000 Well, let's see what Marco Rubio did.
00:21:05.000 Third, there is no doubt in my mind, and I've been saying this right from the time I entered the campaign, that the single most important thing for the Republican Party is to nominate the person who gives us the best chance to be Hillary Clinton.
00:21:29.000 I can guarantee you that the one person that Hillary and Bill Clinton do not want to see on that stage come next September is Donald Trump.
00:21:38.000 They know how to run the standard political playbook against junior senators and run them around the block. 0.99
00:21:44.000 They do not know the playbook with Donald Trump because he is rewriting the playbook.
00:21:49.000 He is rewriting the playbook of American politics because he's providing strong leadership that's not dependent upon the status quo.
00:21:55.000 Okay, so he just keeps talking about strong leadership this and strong leadership that.
00:21:59.000 Trump is a strong man.
00:22:00.000 I'm a strong man. 0.99
00:22:01.000 Strong men love other strong men and gay pornography. 0.99
00:22:03.000 And therefore, Donald Trump and Chris Christie are two peas in a pod. 1.00
00:22:09.000 It makes your stomach a little bit churn that Chris Christie was considered at one point the great white hope for the Republicans because he really is a pathetic person. 0.99
00:22:16.000 And here's Chris Christie, by the way, being pathetic. 0.97
00:22:19.000 Over the weekend, he was supposed to defend Donald Trump as his surrogate, and here's how that went with George Stephanopoulos. 0.98
00:22:24.000 It was not pretty.
00:22:25.000 During your campaign, you ran as a straight-talking truth-teller, specific answers to America's challenges, and here's what you told voters to question Mr. Trump.
00:22:35.000 I tell everybody who goes to a Donald Trump event, if you get to ask a question, just ask him how.
00:22:41.000 First, he says he's going to build a wall across the entire border between the United States and Mexico.
00:22:45.000 How?
00:22:47.000 How is he going to make the Mexicans pay for the wall?
00:22:51.000 How?
00:22:52.000 They are a sovereign nation.
00:22:56.000 You're backing him now.
00:22:56.000 What's the answer?
00:22:57.000 The answer is he will do it.
00:22:59.000 The fact is that he's going to have to answer that question.
00:23:02.000 And he will.
00:23:05.000 This is February of a campaign.
00:23:07.000 And let's say this.
00:23:09.000 You look at everybody else on that stage.
00:23:11.000 Um, and there have been many more specifics from a lot of other folks on that stage.
00:23:14.000 Um, and that was part of my argument during the campaign.
00:23:16.000 But there I am as somebody who's running for president making my argument.
00:23:43.000 Listen, I think that there is great ways to be able to use diplomacy and other tools to be able to come to compromise with nations that are both our neighbors and around the world.
00:23:54.000 And we'll work on those things and that's what leadership does.
00:23:57.000 Strong leadership is able to exert those things and be able to talk to folks about what advantages and disadvantages are of certain policies.
00:24:04.000 The fact of the matter is that there won't be any question about
00:24:07.000 What's the answer to how?
00:24:09.000 That's the standard you set.
00:24:24.000 Okay, he wasn't there enough.
00:24:26.000 So clearly Christie has no answers.
00:24:27.000 The only reason he's endorsing Trump is because Trump promised him the Attorney General slot or the VP slot or something.
00:24:33.000 And I just can't imagine anything worse, anything worse than going to Cleveland in the middle of Cleveland in the middle of the summer to hang out with Chris Christie and Donald Trump.
00:24:42.000 As he takes the nomination for the Republican Party.
00:24:44.000 We'll get back to Cleveland in a little while when he gets some things that I like.
00:24:47.000 Okay, so that's all the chaos on the Republican side of the aisle.
00:24:50.000 Jeff Sessions, by the way, who is a good guy, but is a strong immigration guy, and so that's really his only issue.
00:24:55.000 He endorsed Trump as well.
00:24:57.000 Ted Cruz, meanwhile, has not been endorsed by anybody, which is the reason why I prefer Ted Cruz in this race.
00:25:02.000 He's a consistent constitutional conservative.
00:25:04.000 Trump is not.
00:25:05.000 I'm increasingly believing that Trump is actually a disreputable individual, a disreputable man.
00:25:10.000 And this election, which is going to be between a deeply non-principled demagogue and the most corrupt woman in the history of American politics, is just... It makes your stomach churn and makes you want to throw up a little bit. 0.80
00:25:22.000 I'm still considering the... There was a hashtag that was trending over the weekend.
00:25:28.000 People were asking why I wasn't using it.
00:25:29.000 The reason I'm not using it is because there still is going to be at least one, maybe up to three, judicial nominees for the Supreme Court.
00:25:36.000 If we're gonna have a crappy president, we might as well have a crappy president who is 50% likely to appoint somebody decent to the Supreme Court, as opposed to a crappy president who is 100%
00:25:46.000 Likely to appoint somebody far left to the Supreme Court, destroying the Constitution from within. 0.96
00:25:50.000 So if given the choice between Trump and Hillary, I would have to go with Trump. 0.99
00:25:54.000 But that is again, as I've said, I would vote for a flaming bag of dog crap over Hillary Clinton. 1.00
00:26:01.000 I guess Donald Trump is going to make me actually do that. 0.99
00:26:03.000 So that's a little bit disheartening.
00:26:05.000 Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle, the Democratic Party is having its own issues, and it would be laughable if it weren't for the chaos in the Republican Party.
00:26:12.000 Tulsi Gabbard is an up-and-coming Democratic Congresswoman from Hawaii. 1.00
00:26:15.000 She has a military background, and she was the vice president of the Democratic National Committee.
00:26:20.000 She actually left the DNC on Sunday and said that she backed Bernie Sanders.
00:26:23.000 Here's what she had to say about it to Tom Green.
00:26:25.000 Tulsi Gabbard.
00:26:26.000 Congresswoman from Hawaii, Democratic National Committee Vice Chair, has been at odds with her boss, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, for months over the Democratic presidential debate schedule.
00:26:36.000 Congresswoman, you're here because you have an announcement to make regarding your position at the DNC.
00:26:42.000 Tell us.
00:26:43.000 Well, first of all, I am resigning from the DNC so that I can support Bernie Sanders for president.
00:26:48.000 I'd like to tell you why.
00:26:49.000 As a veteran and as a soldier, I've seen firsthand the true cost of war.
00:26:55.000 I served in a medical unit during my first deployment.
00:26:58.000 Or every single day.
00:26:59.000 I saw firsthand the very high human cost of that war.
00:27:03.000 I see it in my friends who now a decade after we've come home are still struggling to get out of a black hole.
00:27:10.000 I think it's most important for us as we look at our choices
00:27:13.000 As to who our next Commander-in-Chief will be is to recognize the necessity to have a Commander-in-Chief who has foresight, who exercises good judgment, who looks beyond the consequences, who looks at the consequences of the actions that they are looking to take before they take those actions so that we don't continue to find ourselves in these failures that have resulted in chaos in the Middle East and so much loss of life.
00:27:36.000 You know, it was just a month ago, and this sort of got us curious.
00:27:40.000 A month ago, you said you think the next Commander-in-Chief needs to have a, quote, military mindset.
00:27:45.000 You said this during an interview on Fox News.
00:27:49.000 Does Senator Sanders have a military mindset?
00:27:52.000 From what I've seen from talking with him and from his record, he does.
00:27:55.000 And what that military mindset means is, you go through an analysis process.
00:28:01.000 It's a chaos on the other side too, but nobody's paying attention to the chaos because the Republican frontrunner refuses to...
00:28:07.000 Condemn the KKK, and then the next day he condemns the KKK.
00:28:10.000 He says he's tough on immigration, and then the next day it comes out in BuzzFeed that he's telling the New York Times he has no intention of deporting people.
00:28:17.000 This whole thing is a joke, and it's a sad joke.
00:28:20.000 And people who are buying into the idea that they can trust Trump, I understand people get emotionally tied to candidates.
00:28:25.000 I don't.
00:28:26.000 Okay, the minute that Ted Cruz goes down, the minute he's no longer electorally viable, I'll find another conservative who I think is electorally viable.
00:28:32.000 And the minute that person goes down, I'll find another conservative I think is electorally viable.
00:28:36.000 But I do not worship candidates, and you should not either if you're a conservative.
00:28:40.000 It is a non-conservative thing to do.
00:28:42.000 And note to my good friend Milo, who calls Donald Trump daddy.
00:28:45.000 I assume as a joke, because Milo's a funny guy.
00:28:49.000 He calls Trump daddy.
00:28:51.000 Okay, no, I will never call a politician daddy.
00:28:53.000 I will never call a politician daddy, because the fact is that they're not my daddy.
00:28:56.000 You know, I have a father.
00:28:58.000 And I don't worship my own father, either.
00:29:00.000 You know, the fact that there's only one thing that I worship on planet Earth, and outside planet Earth, and that is God. 0.93
00:29:05.000 Other than that, I have no worship for anyone, and that certainly holds true for these politicians, especially politicians like Trump, who is, in fact, a massive, massive liar who has shifted his position at every available opportunity. 0.92
00:29:17.000 Okay, enough of that.
00:29:18.000 Let's move on to what happened at Cal State Los Angeles, because we have so much material to work through here.
00:29:22.000 So, to recap,
00:29:27.000 Last week, last Monday, the president of Cal State Los Angeles, a state-funded university, suggested, didn't suggest, he said, we're cancelling the speech that you're doing at Cal State LA.
00:29:36.000 It had been planned for weeks in advance.
00:29:39.000 The students had done a great job of getting out the word, and he cancelled it because he didn't like what I had to say. 0.95
00:29:44.000 And I told him he could go screw himself.
00:29:46.000 We talked about this last week. 0.99
00:29:47.000 And then I said I was going to head to campus.
00:29:49.000 Now, we had no clue what was going to happen when I got there.
00:29:52.000 Was I going to be arrested for trespass for no apparent reason, for exercising free speech rights he had already agreed to?
00:29:58.000 What was going to happen?
00:30:00.000 About an hour and a half before the event, we got word that the president of the university had announced that he had uncanceled the event.
00:30:07.000 That the event would move forward as scheduled.
00:30:09.000 The media, by the way, skipped in this story the part where I told him to screw himself.
00:30:12.000 They went from, he cancelled it, to he uncancelled it. 0.98
00:30:15.000 There was no intervening event where I said, screw yourself, because that would show that he's a weakling.
00:30:19.000 So in any case, he uncancels the event, and he says, don't worry, there will be security and everything will be safe and secure.
00:30:25.000 We get in the car and we're on the ride over, me and Lindsay and Candace and like a bunch of people from the office because at this point it's become basically a circus.
00:30:32.000 And we've got a couple of security guys in the car.
00:30:35.000 And we're getting notices that people are getting very rowdy and it's getting very ugly.
00:30:39.000 And we're being told that we have to be sneaked in.
00:30:41.000 I want to enter through the front, right?
00:30:42.000 Like any normal speaker would.
00:30:44.000 I'm being told I can't because the protesters have barricaded the doors.
00:30:49.000 And prevented anybody from getting in.
00:30:51.000 These protesters were literally stacked up against the door.
00:30:54.000 You can see it's like 50, 60, 70 people.
00:30:56.000 Again, this is the back door, not the front door, right?
00:30:58.000 They're backed up against the back door so people can't get in.
00:31:01.000 And then there are other parts of the building where people are protesting and just... it's...
00:31:08.000 It's chaos.
00:31:08.000 It's madness and it's violence.
00:31:10.000 People are actually getting beaten up.
00:31:11.000 One of the reporters from Breitbart News was assaulted three separate times.
00:31:15.000 There's a guy I know who I spoke to.
00:31:17.000 I don't know him.
00:31:17.000 I know him now.
00:31:18.000 I spoke to him after this happened.
00:31:20.000 He's a guy with apparently nerve damage.
00:31:21.000 He's semi-disabled.
00:31:22.000 He was assaulted by the protesters.
00:31:24.000 There are helicopters swirling.
00:31:26.000 There's cops everywhere for little old me.
00:31:30.000 And so, you know, I get in there and
00:31:34.000 They're smuggling the students in four at a time through a backdoor, because this is how free speech now works.
00:31:38.000 At a state-funded university on America's college campuses, the kids have to be smuggled in to hear an opposing point of view.
00:31:44.000 Smuggled.
00:31:44.000 Seriously.
00:31:45.000 Like, they had a backdoor open, and they were smuggling the kids through this maze of hallways, four at a time, so that they could come and sit down.
00:31:51.000 So we decide that we can either wait two hours for them to smuggle everybody in, and there's no guarantee they even do that, or I can just start the speech on time.
00:31:58.000 So I start the speech about 15-20 minutes late.
00:32:01.000 I do my speech, which has been viewed.
00:32:03.000 You can go to Daily Wire.
00:32:04.000 We posted it there.
00:32:06.000 And it's been viewed something like half a million times.
00:32:08.000 There were 60,000 people who watched at least part of it live.
00:32:11.000 And then, at the very end, I said to the kids, do you want to go out there into the protesters?
00:32:17.000 I was all ramped up, and so were they.
00:32:19.000 And they said, yeah, let's do it.
00:32:20.000 I said, well, let me go ask security.
00:32:22.000 And I go back and there are 20 uniformed cops in back just to protect me. 0.96
00:32:26.000 Which is flattering, but I mean also sad and pathetic that this is a college. 1.00
00:32:30.000 I pay taxes for these idiots to go to school. 1.00
00:32:32.000 And the cops tell me, we can't guarantee your safety or that of the students if you go out there. 1.00
00:32:38.000 In other words, they might rush us, my security guy says, you know, we might take down the first two guys who come at us, but there's no guarantee we take down number three.
00:32:45.000 And my security guy is an Israeli guy, big guy, he says, I've seen mobs before, this is no longer just a crowd of protesters, this is now a full-on mob.
00:32:54.000 This is now a full-on mob.
00:32:56.000 And they are going to do violence.
00:32:59.000 If one punch gets thrown, this is no longer a protest.
00:33:01.000 This is now a riot.
00:33:03.000 And we'll show you some more of this footage because this is what it was like out there.
00:33:07.000 Here's what it looked like in the hall.
00:33:08.000 Folks, you can't see it.
00:33:15.000 It's a massive crowd.
00:33:16.000 People pushing and shoving.
00:33:17.000 It's actual incidents of assault going on and battle going on in this crowd.
00:33:25.000 Hey, it's not just this clip.
00:33:27.000 This doesn't give you a good long shot of the hallway, but let's go to the next clip and we can show you what was happening there as well.
00:33:31.000 Nobody could even get in.
00:33:32.000 These people were locked out in the hallway.
00:33:56.000 That's because people had barricaded themselves across the door and the police were so scared that there was going to be a break-in into the auditorium that they locked the doors from the inside to smuggle these kids in from the back.
00:34:05.000 We can move on to the next clip as well.
00:34:07.000 There's one of the guys in the room and he's literally getting pushed around by a massive crowd of people who are screaming at him.
00:34:18.000 And trying to hurt him.
00:34:19.000 And it was it was it was very, very intense.
00:34:21.000 It was a very intense experience.
00:34:23.000 Everybody in the office who was there sort of felt I had the worst headache of my life on Friday.
00:34:26.000 I mean, I woke up and it felt like I had just been in a car accident.
00:34:29.000 I mean, it was it was very it was an unpleasant situation.
00:34:33.000 And they told me they had to smuggle me out through a separate building with 10 officers in tow.
00:34:39.000 And this is why, because this is fascism at work.
00:34:40.000 This is the kind of fascism you're going to be seeing increasingly.
00:34:42.000 The ideological fascism of the students pushed by the administrative fascism of the state.
00:34:44.000 So what you have here is a big protest, almost a riot, happening because I'm speaking there,
00:35:06.000 And what you see is all of these people, you know, doing this routine with the administration having told the police to stand down.
00:35:13.000 Having told the police to not do anything, not move the protesters, not clear a path.
00:35:18.000 And this is how it's going to be, folks.
00:35:20.000 This is how it's going to be.
00:35:21.000 You remember back in Baltimore, when there were the Baltimore riots, and the mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, said, we told the police to give them room to riot, basically?
00:35:29.000 That's how it's going to be.
00:35:30.000 It's going to be administrators, state actors, whipping up crowds into a frenzy, and then saying, okay, we just have to give you room to vent your emotions and violate other people's rights.
00:35:38.000 We can't let students come in the room.
00:35:39.000 We have to smuggle them in.
00:35:41.000 Here's what I had to say.
00:35:43.000 Well, let's actually do the, do we have the picture of the students blocking the entrance?
00:35:49.000 Yeah, so there's the picture of the students blocking the entrance.
00:35:51.000 And we also have this report from KTLA 5 on what was going on at CSULA.
00:35:57.000 It was insane.
00:36:03.000 This is the KTLA 5 News at 3.
00:36:05.000 I'm Glenn Walker.
00:36:06.000 And I'm Lou Parker.
00:36:07.000 We do begin with that breaking news on the campus of Cal State LA in East Los Angeles.
00:36:12.000 Hundreds of students and protesters have gathered outside the auditorium where conservative talk show host Ben Shapiro just finished a speech.
00:36:19.000 KTLA 5's Chris Wolf live on the campus with more.
00:36:22.000 Chris.
00:36:25.000 Yeah, you guys, we're just outside the Student Union Theater.
00:36:27.000 We're keeping a slightly safe distance from the crush of people, that crowd inside.
00:36:32.000 To be honest, this was one of the most intense and uncomfortable situations I've found myself in recently.
00:36:38.000 To say the situation inside that theater was tense was simply an understatement.
00:36:42.000 People were screaming and shouting and getting into each other's faces.
00:36:46.000 They got into our faces simply because we were there.
00:36:49.000 I should note, though, we did not witness any outward signs of violence or physical contact.
00:36:54.000 That doesn't necessarily mean that did not happen.
00:36:57.000 It's just that we did not observe that.
00:36:59.000 Take a listen and look at what happened.
00:37:12.000 People shouting things like, racist go home, we are not the problem.
00:37:17.000 Well, we gave you the background at 1.30.
00:37:19.000 We'll give you more background right now.
00:37:20.000 A conservative author and commentator is speaking at the Student Union today on the topic entitled, When Diversity Becomes a Problem.
00:37:29.000 The president of this university canceled the speech, then relented late today, saying his initial action was based on security concerns surrounding the appearance of Ben Shapiro.
00:37:39.000 The conservative student group Young Americans for Freedom organized the event and invited Mr. Shapiro here today.
00:37:45.000 We found a crush of people outside the theater's main entrance.
00:37:49.000 We never got inside that theater, and crowds quickly covered every single entrance or exit that we could see.
00:37:56.000 I expected to see a larger police presence than what I observed outside the auditorium this afternoon.
00:38:01.000 We saw young people, students of all races, people from various activist groups, and possibly from all walks of life.
00:38:12.000 That's what it looked like, and that's how it felt.
00:38:16.000 It was extraordinarily intense. 0.76
00:38:19.000 All for little old me, because I'm such a giant racist, obviously. 0.98
00:38:21.000 Because the white supremacists love me. 0.96
00:38:23.000 I'm their favorite person.
00:38:24.000 Check my mentions at Twitter right now.
00:38:26.000 See how much the white supremacists love me.
00:38:27.000 They just adore me. 0.98
00:38:29.000 Because there's nothing they like better than an anti-racist Jew. 0.99
00:38:32.000 That's their favorite thing, the white supremacists. 1.00
00:38:34.000 Well, what this speaks to is, number one, the level of ignorance of the students who have never heard anything about me, don't know anything about me, except what their disgusting, racist, pathetic professors tell them. 0.99
00:38:44.000 And two, the left has no interest in hearing other points of view. 0.99
00:38:48.000 They were free to come in the theater.
00:38:49.000 They could have come in and asked questions.
00:38:50.000 I'm happy to do that.
00:38:51.000 I've debated people from the other side routinely on the issue of race.
00:38:55.000 If you want to see one of those videos, just go to YouTube and watch me debate people from the NAACP.
00:38:59.000 We did that in Seattle last year.
00:39:01.000 It was fine.
00:39:01.000 It was all good.
00:39:02.000 It was very friendly.
00:39:03.000 This is how it goes for the left.
00:39:05.000 All the left cares about is shutting down speech.
00:39:07.000 So, here's what it looked like when I came back out and I said to all of the students, we can't go out there because of safety concerns.
00:39:13.000 I was very angry, to say the least, about this situation.
00:39:17.000 I've been told by campus police that it is literally a threat to life and limb to go out there.
00:39:22.000 I've been told that they can't personally guarantee my security or any of your securities if you go out there right now.
00:39:28.000 Well, not fine with me, because I don't want to see anybody get hurt or killed out there, particularly not the good guys.
00:39:33.000 If that's the case, here's what's going to happen.
00:39:35.000 I actually have to take a secret way out, seriously, with police escort.
00:39:38.000 This is America, 2016.
00:39:40.000 It's unbelievable.
00:39:41.000 Okay?
00:39:42.000 And then the assumption by the cops is, the assumption by the police officers is, that these crowds will eventually disperse and you'll have a safe way out.
00:39:50.000 I've been told that if you try to get out right now, you could be in a situation where you walk up behind these people and they refuse to let you out.
00:39:57.000 They'll stop any active
00:39:59.000 active battery upon you.
00:40:00.000 They'll stop people from punching you, or they'll act after someone has punched you, more likely, because they can't see the future.
00:40:06.000 But, you know, but they can't guarantee if you go out right now, you're actually going to be safe.
00:40:12.000 So, I mean, for folks who are watching this online, for people who know what's going on nationally, this is America now.
00:40:19.000 This is America now.
00:40:21.000 Okay, and this is not a matter of cowardice.
00:40:23.000 We're not stepping into a model of 300 angry people out there. 0.98
00:40:26.000 The cowardice is this administration that allows this garbage and evil to go on right here on American soil.
00:40:38.000 Right now, I'm just going to call on everybody all across the country who believes in free speech, who believes in free assembly, who believes in the Constitution of the United States and Liberty. 0.94
00:40:45.000 I'm calling on you to look at what's happening out here.
00:40:48.000 Watch what's happening out here.
00:40:49.000 Recognize that when the students cannot be guaranteed safety on their own campus from people far outside whipping a mob into a frenzy over basic principles of free speech, it's time to stand up.
00:41:01.000 It's time to fight.
00:41:02.000 It's time to become part of a movement.
00:41:04.000 Enough is enough.
00:41:14.000 Stand with us.
00:41:15.000 Stand up.
00:41:17.000 We all stand together.
00:41:17.000 For the Constitution of the United States, for liberty, for freedom.
00:41:20.000 Be safe out there.
00:41:21.000 Okay?
00:41:22.000 My personal email address, in case you want to get in touch with me, any of you, and this is over the internet too, my personal email address is bshapiro at dailywire.com.
00:41:30.000 If you need help, if you need coverage, if you need media coverage, we're going to organize a movement because this cannot stand. 0.99
00:41:34.000 This bullshit cannot stand. 0.99
00:41:44.000 Okay, so that's how it went at the very end. 0.99
00:41:47.000 And, um, I mean, it was a very intense experience.
00:41:50.000 So, there's your update on what happened there, and this is America now.
00:41:53.000 Okay, what happens there, that's just the start.
00:41:54.000 It's going to come to your school, it's going to come to your neighborhood, it'll come to your city, because the left will not sleep unless they have silenced opposing points of view.
00:42:02.000 This is what is at stake in our politics right now.
00:42:05.000 Okay, so time for a couple of things that I like and then a couple of things that I hate.
00:42:09.000 So, as I mentioned before, we may have to go to Cleveland to cover the Republican National Convention, which is just gonna suck.
00:42:16.000 But in case you don't know what Cleveland is like, here's what Cleveland is like.
00:42:21.000 Here's the Cleveland tourist video number one by some guys who live in Cleveland.
00:42:25.000 Fun times in Cleveland today!
00:42:27.000 Cleveland!
00:42:29.000 Come on down to Cleveland Town, everyone.
00:42:32.000 Come and look at both of our buildings.
00:42:35.000 Buy some food that's prepared near the street.
00:42:38.000 Who knows, you might even see this guy.
00:42:40.000 You should come on down to Wessex Street. 0.99
00:42:43.000 It's the perfect place if you're a douchebag. 0.98
00:42:46.000 Watch the poor people all wait for buses. 1.00
00:42:49.000 Who the f*** still uses a payphone? 0.92
00:42:52.000 Here's the place where there used to be industry. 0.95
00:42:55.000 This train is carrying jobs out of Cleveland.
00:42:58.000 Cleveland leads the nation in drifters.
00:43:01.000 Here's a statue of Moses Cleveland.
00:43:03.000 He's the guy who invented Cleveland.
00:43:06.000 Yeah!
00:43:08.000 So those guys made that video, and then, um, they decided they weren't satisfied with that attempt, so they made Cleveland Video Part 2.
00:43:15.000 Here it is.
00:43:17.000 Fun times in Cleveland again!
00:43:19.000 Still Cleveland!
00:43:21.000 Come on down to Cleveland Town, everyone!
00:43:24.000 Under construction since 1868.
00:43:27.000 See our river that catches on fire.
00:43:30.000 It's so polluted that all our fish have AIDS.
00:43:33.000 We see the sun almost three times a year.
00:43:36.000 This guy has at least two DUIs.
00:43:38.000 The flats look like a Scooby-Doo ghost town.
00:43:41.000 Don't slow down in East Cleveland or you'll die.
00:43:44.000 Our economy's based on LeBron James.
00:43:47.000 Buy a house for the price of a VCR.
00:43:50.000 Our main export is crippling depression. 0.95
00:43:53.000 We're so retarded that we think this is art. 0.95
00:43:56.000 It could be worse though, at least we're not Detroit! 0.97
00:44:00.000 We're not Detroit!
00:44:03.000 So yeah, I can't wait for the RNC.
00:44:05.000 It's just gonna be too much fun.
00:44:06.000 That'll just be happiness.
00:44:08.000 Okay, so, time for some things that I hate.
00:44:10.000 So, we'll spend just a couple of minutes here.
00:44:12.000 I know we're over time, but there's been a lot going on, to say the least.
00:44:15.000 So, the Oscars happened on Sunday.
00:44:17.000 I can honestly say I watched zero minutes of this live, which made my life much better, because...
00:44:22.000 As you can tell, there's a lot that makes me angry lately, and I can't imagine why.
00:44:27.000 I mean, it's not like the world is going up in flames.
00:44:29.000 As I said to Lindsey and Candace and Jeremy this morning, I said, you know, if Trump sweeps tomorrow, that will make this the worst day in at least the last three days, because it's just like every day, man.
00:44:41.000 Every single day. 0.99
00:44:42.000 So, Sunday was the Oscars, and the Oscars were just, they were crap. 0.99
00:44:47.000 I've seen Spotlight, which won Best Picture. 0.98
00:44:49.000 I talked about it on the show.
00:44:51.000 I think it's a good movie.
00:44:52.000 I think it's a good film.
00:44:53.000 But that doesn't mean that the Oscars, you know, aren't liberal tripe.
00:44:59.000 And they really went overboard this year because of the Oscars So White campaign. 0.89
00:45:03.000 Oh, there aren't enough black people in the Oscars.
00:45:05.000 Okay, again, there's not a single black performance that should have been nominated that wasn't. 0.85
00:45:09.000 Hey, Will Smith in Concussion?
00:45:11.000 There's nothing going on there.
00:45:12.000 Okay, Idris Elba was good in Beast of No Nation.
00:45:15.000 Only one problem, Beast of No Nation is not eligible for Oscars since it was never released in theaters.
00:45:19.000 So, that means that your choices for black nominees were Michael B. Jordan in Creed,
00:45:25.000 Okay.
00:45:27.000 Or presumably, you know, whatever is the latest Tyler Perry flick that no one white has ever seen. 0.59
00:45:33.000 So all of this is very exciting.
00:45:35.000 So Chris Rock was hosting the Oscars and he felt the necessity to talk about racism.
00:45:40.000 What's amazing is that Hollywood gets called racist, then it throws itself an evening to sort of pat itself on the back for how they're super not racist after being called racist.
00:45:48.000 So here's Chris Rock mocking them, but they're so tolerant and wonderful.
00:45:53.000 And by the way, does anyone recognize- when was the last time Chris Rock was relevant?
00:45:56.000 It's been, like, at least five years since Chris Rock was relevant.
00:45:59.000 I mean, last I checked, wasn't he doing those movies with Jackie Chan, or was that- is that- that's not Chris Rock.
00:46:04.000 Who's that?
00:46:04.000 That's another funny black guy.
00:46:06.000 Chris Tucker.
00:46:07.000 Okay, Chris Tucker.
00:46:08.000 So I don't even know what Chris Rock has been in lately.
00:46:10.000 So, and he keeps getting his job stolen by Kevin Hart.
00:46:13.000 So in any case, here's Chris Rock at the Oscars last night rocking the white tuxedo.
00:46:18.000 Here we go.
00:46:19.000 Why are we protesting?
00:46:21.000 That's the big question.
00:46:22.000 Why this Oscars?
00:46:24.000 Why this Oscars, you know?
00:46:26.000 It's the 88th Academy Awards.
00:46:29.000 It's the 88th Academy Awards, which means this whole no black nominees thing has happened at least 71 other times.
00:46:41.000 Okay?
00:46:42.000 You gotta figure that it happened in the 50s, in the 60s, you know what I mean?
00:46:46.000 Like, you know, in the 60s, one of those years, Sidney didn't put out a movie.
00:46:50.000 I'm sure... I'm sure there were no black nominees some of those years.
00:46:55.000 Say, 62 or 63.
00:46:57.000 And black people did not protest. 1.00
00:46:59.000 Why?
00:47:00.000 Because we had real things to protest at the time.
00:47:03.000 You know?
00:47:04.000 We had real things to protest. 0.82
00:47:11.000 You know, it's too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won Best Cinematographer.
00:47:19.000 You know, when your grandmother's swinging from a tree, it's really hard to care about Best Documentary Foreign Short.
00:47:30.000 What happened this year?
00:47:31.000 He goes along on this rant and the idea is that now we should really care deeply about what happens to black people at the Oscars because the black people in America who really suffer, it's just a sign that black people are suffering that they don't win little meaningless gold statuettes.
00:47:45.000 It's very important.
00:47:46.000 So that was part of the evening was the race jokes and Hollywood isn't black enough, whatever that's supposed to mean.
00:47:52.000 He did make one good joke at one point.
00:47:53.000 He said, you know, if we really want to have more black nominees, we should just have a separate category, like best actress and best actor. 0.57
00:47:59.000 It should be best black person in a film. 0.93
00:48:01.000 And, you know, of course, mocking that idea, which is exactly correct.
00:48:05.000 Whoopi Goldberg and Tracy Morgan, by the way, skewered diversity in 2016 also.
00:48:10.000 They did a little film parody montage that looked like this.
00:48:13.000 Sorry.
00:48:14.000 You're Joy.
00:48:15.000 I am Joy.
00:48:15.000 Come on.
00:48:16.000 Go.
00:48:17.000 Go.
00:48:19.000 Um...
00:48:22.000 It's not rocket science.
00:48:23.000 It's a mop.
00:48:24.000 Just say something.
00:48:26.000 Sorry.
00:48:26.000 These lights are so bright.
00:48:29.000 Oh, my God.
00:48:29.000 Tell her to say something about the mop.
00:48:31.000 Talk about the mop.
00:48:32.000 Say something.
00:48:33.000 Maybe one day they'll make a movie about a skinny white lady who invented a mop. 1.00
00:48:36.000 Of course, a black girl would have to invent a cure to cancer before they even give her a TV movie. 1.00
00:48:41.000 Oh, my God. 0.99
00:48:42.000 But, hey, I'm not mad.
00:48:44.000 Because I know how to play the game.
00:48:46.000 Joy.
00:48:56.000 Actresses in this movie! 1.00
00:49:03.000 My agent called you twice, then I called you 16 times.
00:49:09.000 You should have called me back.
00:49:19.000 Look at me. 0.98
00:49:21.000 A black thespian starving his first treat after all. 1.00
00:49:27.000 Hello? 0.56
00:49:32.000 I'm a Danish girl!
00:49:33.000 These danishes is good, girl! 1.00
00:49:39.000 Nailed it.
00:49:42.000 Guys, I'm here!
00:49:46.000 Oh, is he still up there?
00:49:48.000 Oh, yeah.
00:49:49.000 Should we get him?
00:49:50.000 Yeah, you should get me. 0.98
00:49:52.000 Don't worry, black astronaut. 0.97
00:49:53.000 We will. 0.98
00:49:54.000 It'll cost $2,500.
00:49:55.000 Ooh, that's a lot.
00:49:57.000 Can we just leave him up there?
00:49:59.000 Guys, I can hear you.
00:50:00.000 I'm right here.
00:50:02.000 Hi.
00:50:03.000 Yeah, it might be a PR problem, sir.
00:50:04.000 I'll tell you what's a PR problem.
00:50:06.000 Spending $2,500 white dollars to save one black astronaut.
00:50:10.000 We'll all be out of jobs.
00:50:11.000 What?
00:50:11.000 White dollars?
00:50:13.000 Yeah, but I don't... I don't really see...
00:50:16.000 A black astronaut.
00:50:18.000 Do you see a black astronaut anywhere?
00:50:20.000 I don't see a black astronaut.
00:50:21.000 No black astronauts here. 1.00
00:50:22.000 I'm right here, motherf*****! 1.00
00:50:25.000 Oh, my gosh. 0.99
00:50:25.000 You want to get lunch? 0.99
00:50:26.000 Ooh, yeah!
00:50:27.000 What about some pho?
00:50:28.000 I haven't eaten since June!
00:50:30.000 Hey, where you going?
00:50:32.000 See?
00:50:32.000 Told you they weren't gonna bring you back.
00:50:34.000 Hey, Moppy!
00:50:34.000 Could you help me?
00:50:35.000 Okay, so... Kiss my ass. 1.00
00:50:37.000 So this is the shtick, right? 1.00
00:50:38.000 So the black people, they have it so rough. 1.00
00:50:40.000 Again, this sort of undermines the argument a little bit because, like, Eddie Renmayne 0.94
00:50:47.000 Presumably, it looks like a terrible movie, but Eddie Redmayne is probably a better actor in The Danish Girl than Tracy Morgan would be, right?
00:50:55.000 I mean, I don't think that's the point they're trying to make, but it's sort of the point they end up making. 0.73
00:50:58.000 By the way, Whoopi Goldberg gets featured there, and it shows you how ridiculous Hollywood is. 0.95
00:51:02.000 Whoopi Goldberg gets featured there, and the black people have it so rough in Hollywood business. 0.96
00:51:06.000 Whoopi Goldberg is worth a fortune, right?
00:51:09.000 So is Tracy Morgan.
00:51:10.000 All those people, they're worth a fortune.
00:51:12.000 They're worth so much money.
00:51:14.000 And then there's this routine where Joe Biden trots out for no reason at all.
00:51:19.000 Joe Biden just shows up because what would a major TV event be without a member of the Obama administration?
00:51:26.000 Our celebrities have become politicians and our politicians have become celebrities.
00:51:29.000 They're the same class.
00:51:30.000 And so Joe Biden comes out to talk about sexual assault. 0.51
00:51:32.000 Nothing like creepy Joe Biden. 0.52
00:51:34.000 Who can't keep his hands off women, coming out there to talk about sexual assault and do a little bit of virtue signaling to everybody. 1.00
00:51:41.000 I hate rape. 0.99
00:51:41.000 Yeah, Joe, congratulations. 0.99
00:51:43.000 So do we all. 0.85
00:51:44.000 Except apparently for your democratic front runner who enables the rapes that her husband does. 1.00
00:51:49.000 That you're okay with. 0.99
00:51:50.000 But here's Joe Biden and Lady Gaga, who's just a gross human, doing this routine. 1.00
00:51:54.000 Oh, we all have to stand against rape.
00:51:57.000 And then I will point out something that basically collapses this entire argument from Hollywood.
00:52:01.000 So here we go.
00:52:04.000 Good evening.
00:52:06.000 Good evening, and thank you very much.
00:52:07.000 Despite significant progress over the last few years, too many women and men on and off college campuses are still victims of sexual abuse.
00:52:18.000 And tonight, I'm asking you to join millions of Americans, including me, President Obama, the thousands of students I've met on college campuses, and the artists here tonight, to take the pledge
00:52:32.000 A pledge that says, I will intervene in situations when consent has not or cannot be given.
00:52:42.000 Let's change the culture.
00:52:48.000 We must and we can change the culture so that no abused woman or man, like the survivors you will see tonight, ever feel they have to ask themselves, what did I do?
00:53:01.000 They did nothing wrong.
00:53:06.000 Who's spending this time going around saying that rape survivors did something wrong?
00:53:11.000 Who are these people?
00:53:12.000 Have you seen them?
00:53:13.000 I haven't seen them. 1.00
00:53:14.000 And my stated position, as I've said many times on this program, is that rapists should either be executed or castrated. 0.99
00:53:19.000 So I'm pretty harsh on rape. 0.99
00:53:22.000 Turns out I actually think rape is worse than murder. 0.96
00:53:23.000 So rape is evil, evil, evil, evil.
00:53:25.000 I don't know who he's talking about, but Biden tweeted out afterward, I'm so brave and Lady Gaga is so brave.
00:53:31.000 And yes, nothing says bravery quite like standing in front of a bunch of spoiled millionaires talking about problems that you have nothing to do with.
00:53:39.000 Well, while being feeded for.
00:53:40.000 That's true bravery.
00:53:41.000 That's true bravery.
00:53:42.000 Joe Biden doing this is true bravery.
00:53:44.000 It's amazing.
00:53:45.000 And what I said that destroys this utterly?
00:53:47.000 You remember that previous segment, the one with Whoopi Goldberg, you know, talking about how black people have it hard? 0.98
00:53:51.000 You know what Whoopi Goldberg had to say about Roman Polanski raping little girls? 0.95
00:53:55.000 You happen to remember this? 0.88
00:53:56.000 On The View, she was asked about Roman Polanski raping a 13-year-old girl.
00:54:00.000 Roman Polanski was given an Oscar by these same people, right?
00:54:03.000 And what did she say about that?
00:54:04.000 She said, oh, well, it wasn't rape-rape. 1.00
00:54:08.000 She was drunk, and she was maybe consenting.
00:54:10.000 We don't know.
00:54:11.000 It wasn't rape-rape. 1.00
00:54:12.000 That's what Whoopi Goldberg had to say about that.
00:54:13.000 So the same people who are doing this routine, Abel Roman Polanski, there's a whole question about child abuse in Hollywood.
00:54:20.000 They made a documentary about the amount of child rape in Hollywood. 0.98
00:54:23.000 So, it's all this self-congratulatory, virtue-signaling nonsense over at the Oscars, and it's just really ridiculous. 0.95
00:54:29.000 And then finally, we'll end with, we'll skip Stacey Dash.
00:54:31.000 Stacey Dash showed up in what was kind of an ill, thought-out attempt to make a joke about how she'd ripped on Black History Month, but we'll go straight to Leonardo DiCaprio, who showed up to finally pick up his Oscar, because nothing, you know, a man who really has suffered as much as Leonardo DiCaprio has in his life, a man who was born into
00:54:51.000 Good looks and wealth and unending streams of beautiful women sleeping with him.
00:54:56.000 It really is what he lacked in his life and what we all, what I think changed America yesterday is that this guy now has a little gold statue he can call his own.
00:55:05.000 All it took was him being mauled by a bear for that to happen.
00:55:08.000 So here's Leonardo DiCaprio doing that and then lecturing the rest of us, as always.
00:55:13.000 Here we go.
00:55:14.000 Making The Revenant was about man's relationship to the natural world, a world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history.
00:55:24.000 Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow.
00:55:29.000 Climate change is real.
00:55:31.000 It is happening right now.
00:55:33.000 It is a most urgent threat facing our entire species and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.
00:55:43.000 We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters of the big corporations but who speak for all of humanity.
00:55:53.000 The big polluters, the big corporations, this dude's gonna get on his private jet and go to his private yacht where he's gonna sail around the world on his private water ski and then he's gonna... Come on!
00:56:02.000 Come on! 0.61
00:56:04.000 And in the big corporations, he's sitting in like the Kodak theater, right?
00:56:08.000 In the middle of Los Angeles with Warner Brothers and Miramax and all these massive corporations in the audience.
00:56:16.000 How does he think these things get done?
00:56:18.000 Magic?
00:56:19.000 First of all, I always think that it's kind of ridiculous to give actors awards, because you can give them awards for acting, but all actors do is make faces, and particularly movie actors.
00:56:27.000 They don't even have to memorize the entire play.
00:56:28.000 They memorize one scene, and then they make faces.
00:56:31.000 And okay, it's a living.
00:56:33.000 Okay, I'll give you that.
00:56:34.000 It's a living.
00:56:34.000 Congratulations.
00:56:35.000 You know, you're good at what you do.
00:56:37.000 But I don't want to hear you talk your own talk.
00:56:39.000 Like, the thoughts that come out of your face that come from your brain, I don't care about those.
00:56:43.000 I like the ones that come out of, like, David Mamet's brain. 1.00
00:56:45.000 Right, the thoughts that you say that come out of Aaron Sorkin's brain, those are more interesting to me than the thoughts that come out of this empty-headed bubble moron, his head. 0.97
00:56:52.000 I mean, Leonardo DiCaprio, why would I possibly care what this actor has to say about things? 0.85
00:56:58.000 Unfortunately, we live in a culture of ubiquity, and so because you see his face all over the place, you take him more seriously than you otherwise would.
00:57:05.000 Okay, final point, and then we'll sign off, because I know we're super long.
00:57:08.000 J.J.
00:57:09.000 Abrams is, now that he did a good job with the first Star Wars movie, which I enjoyed, he's about to ruin the next ones.
00:57:15.000 Here's what J.J.
00:57:15.000 Abrams had to say.
00:57:17.000 Thursday night at the Oscar Wilde Awards, which is hosted at Abrams' Bad Robot headquarters,
00:57:23.000 Abrams said he would love to continue to promote inclusivity in the series by introducing gay characters.
00:57:28.000 He said,
00:57:43.000 So, what, are we gonna go like Jar Jar on Admiral Ackbar action now?
00:57:48.000 Is it inter-species action, or is it gonna be like male-on-male within the same species?
00:57:53.000 How's this gonna work?
00:57:54.000 The rumor was, and this would just, it's never going to happen.
00:57:56.000 I'll tell you exactly what they're gonna do.
00:57:58.000 What they'll do is they'll introduce some peripheral character who makes some vague reference to being gay, and that'll please the GLAAD.
00:58:03.000 That'll please the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
00:58:06.000 They'll say that it's a groundbreaking thing to have a gay character
00:58:09.000 In this series, they're not going to make a central character gay, because they know that when I bring my kids to the movies, I don't want to be hit with that, and I won't show my kids movies that glorify homosexuality. 0.85
00:58:18.000 As a religious person, I'm not going to do that.
00:58:20.000 They know that, and they know that Star Wars is a kid's movie.
00:58:23.000 So, they won't do that.
00:58:24.000 Instead, they'll sort of edge around it.
00:58:26.000 The rumor was originally, supposedly, that John Boyega, the guy who plays the Black Storm Trooper, and Oscar Isaac, who plays the kind of Hispanic-looking pilot, that they were going to get together, which is just absurd.
00:58:39.000 I mean, if they do that, George Lucas can have the series back if they do that.
00:58:43.000 Because, like, no one wants to see that.
00:58:46.000 No one is even mildly interested in that.
00:58:48.000 Plus, it undercuts the whole romantic arc.
00:58:50.000 Like, is John Boyega supposed to be bisexual?
00:58:51.000 I mean, clearly he's going after Daisy in the film, right?
00:58:54.000 Clearly he's going after Daisy Ridley, the first female Jedi. 0.92
00:58:57.000 So, the whole thing is ridiculous.
00:58:59.000 But everything has to be infused with politics in Hollywood. 0.73
00:59:01.000 All of these things have to be infused with politics in Hollywood.
00:59:04.000 Okay, we'll play a little bit of Work.
00:59:06.000 Here's what Work is.
00:59:07.000 As you can see, very classy.
00:59:36.000 Okay, so basically, she's dancing around Los Angeles.
00:59:41.000 And this is, this is, these are great lyrics, important lyrics.
00:59:44.000 It's really terrific music.
00:59:46.000 So I think that this deserves a dramatic read.
00:59:50.000 So here's a dramatic read.
00:59:51.000 Can we have some, some Mozart?
00:59:56.000 Thank you.
00:59:58.000 Work, by Rihanna.
01:00:00.000 Work, work, work.
01:00:02.000 Work, work, work.
01:00:03.000 He said me Hathi.
01:00:05.000 Work, work, work.
01:00:06.000 Work, work, work.
01:00:08.000 You see, me do me.
01:00:11.000 Dirt, dirt, dirt.
01:00:12.000 Dirt, dirt, dirt.
01:00:13.000 So, me put in.
01:00:15.000 Work, work, work, work.
01:00:17.000 Work, work.
01:00:18.000 When you are good.
01:00:20.000 Learn, learn, learn.
01:00:21.000 Learn, learn.
01:00:23.000 Man a CR, if him.
01:00:25.000 Hurt, hurt, hurt.
01:00:26.000 Hurt, hurt, ing. 0.99
01:00:29.000 That is the first stanza from Rihanna's work.
01:00:32.000 I hope that you enjoyed that little ditty.
01:00:35.000 I have no idea what any of that means.
01:00:37.000 Literally, I have no idea what a single word of that means, except, well, let's see.
01:00:41.000 I know what work is, I know what dirt is, but I don't think they mean the same thing I think they mean in this song.
01:00:44.000 So, in other words, we're now speaking foreign languages in our popular music.
01:00:50.000 Yes.
01:00:51.000 We may be on the downhill of society.
01:00:53.000 So after you finish this, go watch Klaven.
01:00:54.000 He'll tell you everything's fine.
01:00:55.000 He'll lie to you.
01:00:56.000 He'll tell you the unicorns are flying and the rainbows are everywhere and it's all good.
01:00:59.000 Yeah, I know.
01:01:00.000 I know.
01:01:01.000 But we'll be back tomorrow.
01:01:03.000 We hope.
01:01:04.000 And it'll be before...
01:01:06.000 The polls open or close in all of these various states.
01:01:09.000 So we'll talk about things other than the impending victory of the great man, the strong man, the great tyrant Trump.
01:01:16.000 And we'll sit together, contemplate the end of the world.
01:01:19.000 Don't worry, guys.
01:01:19.000 As I've said before, when the tyrants come, the good news is that since you know me, since you want to join, if you want to join our movement, by the way, it's Be Shapiro at Daily Wire.
01:01:28.000 Lindsey will email you back.
01:01:29.000 We've been inundated.
01:01:31.000 But if you want to join the movement, do that.
01:01:32.000 And definitely do it so that we're all registered.
01:01:34.000 So that when they put us in the Gulag together, then we can all hang out together.
01:01:37.000 I can still do the show, you won't pay me, but we'll just sit there and I'll sit on like a wooden platform in the stocks and you'll all sit there in the audience and try not to look at me because if you look me straight in the eye, then the guards come and beat you to death.
01:01:48.000 You know, that kind of thing.
01:01:49.000 It'll be plenty of fun.
01:01:51.000 An uplifting Monday show for you there.
01:01:53.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
01:01:54.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
