Pro-Israel people are tweeting up a storm about Hillary Clinton's words at AIPAC. These are the same people who cheered President Obama's anti-Israel remarks in 2008, when he launched the most anti-Semitic administration in the history of the United States. Hillary Clinton is the woman who corresponded regularly while Secretary of State with a man who lectured her consistently on the dangers of the Israeli leadership and the U.S. Jewish community. She s the woman whose State Department condemned Israel for defending itself during the Gaza War, and labeled Jerusalem not part of Israel. She personally called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in March 2010 to yell at him about Jews building bathrooms in Jerusalem, and slammed Israel in December 2011 as moving in the opposite direction of democracy and said in December 2012 that Israelis had a lack of empathy for Palestinians. That s Hillary Clinton, the people there are calling her pro-Israel now, and she s a disaster for Israel. Anybody who walks out on Trump but cheered Hillary isn t just a hypocrite, they re an idiot, you re an anti-American. Ben Shapiro: I'm Ben Shapiro, and this is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:14.000And there were a lot of pro-Israel people tweeting up a storm, really a storm, about her wondrous words.
00:00:20.000These are the same people, likely, who tweeted up a storm about President Obama's wondrous words at AIPAC in 2008.
00:00:25.000That was shortly before he launched the most anti-Israel administration in the history of the United States.
00:00:32.000So, here's just a little reminder to pro-Israel people just what Hillary Clinton stands for.
00:00:37.000Hillary Clinton is the woman who corresponded regularly, while Secretary of State, with the vicious anti-Israel viper, Sidney Blumenthal.
00:00:44.000That's a guy who lectured her consistently on the dangers of the, quote, Israeli leadership and the U.S.
00:00:49.000Jewish community, and sent her the work of his son, outright anti-Semitic terror lackey, Max Blumenthal, who actually went and protested at AIPAC while Hillary was speaking.
00:00:59.000Hillary is the woman who helped initiate the Iran deal, which is the worst international agreement in the history of the Middle East, if not the United States.
00:01:06.000She's the woman whose State Department condemned Israel for defending itself during the Gaza War and labeled Jerusalem not a part of Israel.
00:01:13.000Seriously, if you're born in Jerusalem, it now says on your passport, it doesn't say Israel,
00:01:19.000She's the anti-Israel extremist who personally called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in March 2010 to yell at him about Jews building bathrooms in Jerusalem, who slammed Israel in December 2011 as moving in the quote opposite direction of democracy and categorized voluntary
00:01:35.000Same sex segregated buses as quote more suited to Iran than to Israel and said in December 2012 that Israelis had a quote lack of empathy for Palestinians and needed to quote demonstrate that they do understand the pain of an oppressed people in their mind.
00:01:50.000That's Hillary Clinton, the people there.
00:01:52.000She's they're calling her pro-Israel now.
00:02:24.000It is indeed a Monday, and the world survived, albeit barely.
00:02:28.000But we have to start today with a quick question for you.
00:02:31.000So you've been watching as President Obama tries to ram through his new Supreme Court nominee, a guy named Merrick Garland, which sounds like it's a dude who's opening for the Blues Brothers in a chicken wire bar somewhere.
00:02:43.000But in any case, President Obama keeps saying the Constitution mandates that the Senate must, must, must give him his nominee, must give him an up or down vote.
00:02:52.000If you don't know whether that's true or not, if you're somebody who has read the Constitution but you haven't studied it very closely, if you're somebody who watches Donald Trump talk and you're wondering if what he's saying is in comportment with the Constitution, if you're somebody who watches American politics and you know the Constitution, you know what it's supposed to say, you know the we the people bit, but
00:04:40.000And a strong, lasting relationship between the United States and Israel is essential to our efforts to build that world of peace and security.
00:05:00.000As all of us know, our future here in this country is intertwined
00:05:12.000Hillary Clinton then proceeded to join the Obama administration where she participated in the creation of the Iran deal, which is the worst deal in the history of the Middle East, as I mentioned.
00:05:21.000It's a deal that basically gives the Iranians a nuclear weapon within 10 years without any ramifications.
00:06:49.000Trump's language with regard to Israel.
00:06:51.000Now people are saying, well, he never said he's anti-Israel, he said he's neutral.
00:06:54.000If I were to tell you that someone said during World War II that they were neutral between the British and the Nazis, you might be right to suggest that they were anti-British.
00:07:03.000You're anti-Israel if you suggest that there's a neutrality between a moral democratic state like Israel and a fascistic terrorist state like the Palestinian Authority.
00:07:11.000But for all these people who are going to walk out on Trump tonight, and supposedly there are a lot, Hillary Clinton's actual record is anti-Israel.
00:08:20.000AIPAC in 2014 had the opportunity to push Democratic legislators into voting against President Obama's Iran deal.
00:08:27.000They had the ability to push the Senate into at least having a vote over whether the deal was a treaty, which would have required a two-thirds approval in the Senate.
00:08:51.000Donald Trump is a Republican, sort of.
00:08:53.000Donald Trump is somebody who is not pro-Israel enough for me.
00:08:56.000I'm very ideologically consistent on this.
00:08:58.000I don't care which party you belong to, I care what you think.
00:09:02.000But unfortunately, the people at AIPAC, in an attempt to be bipartisan, they've lent credence to people like Hillary Clinton, who is, in fact, wildly anti-Israel.
00:09:11.000The same thing is true of Joe Biden, who's wildly anti-Israel.
00:09:14.000And unfortunately, it's true for a lot of Democrats, and they keep covering for these people because AIPAC is not pro-Israel, so much as it is pro-Democrat.
00:09:22.000When the two aren't in conflict, they're fine.
00:09:24.000But if they are in conflict, they will side with the Democrats over Israel, and that truly is awful.
00:09:28.000Okay, so that's one thing that's happening today on the foreign policy front.
00:09:32.000On the other foreign policy fronts, the President Obama has now traveled to Cuba.
00:09:36.000He's headed over to Cuba, and he landed, touched down there this morning.
00:09:41.000He was not met by Raoul Castro on the tarmac.
00:09:44.000He was met by the foreign minister, I guess.
00:09:46.000Raoul Castro reserves his meetings on the tarmac for people like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the former leader, president of Iran.
00:09:53.000He met him on the tarmac, but not President Obama.
00:09:55.000The whole thing is just a humiliation tour for the United States.
00:09:59.000Here is President Obama's, clip 23, here's President Obama, and you can see him standing alongside the Cuban dignitaries.
00:10:06.000If you can't see this, folks, there's a picture that's going around and is ticking off a lot of people, as well it should.
00:10:12.000And the picture is President Obama standing there with all the dignitaries, and behind him is a building, and on that building is a giant mural of Che Guevara.
00:10:21.000Che Guevara for all the people who don't know who he is, including you moron Bernie Sanders college student supporters who wear Che Guevara t-shirts.
00:11:22.000That's dangerous stuff and something I won't endorse.
00:11:24.000The left deep down is communist and they're fine with the invasion and destruction of human freedom so long as it pushes their particular view of the universe.
00:11:32.000So here are five reasons why this is such a disaster for the United States this trip.
00:11:37.000So the first thing is, before Obama gets there, there's a massive crackdown on dissidents.
00:11:42.000The regime takes everybody who could possibly disagree with the regime, and they throw them in prison.
00:11:48.000This is according to the New York Times, which of course loves President Obama and loves Cuba.
00:11:54.000President Obama touched down in Cuba on Sunday, pledging to interact directly with the Cuban people and accelerate engagement between the U.S.
00:12:01.000and Cuba after more than a half century of hostility.
00:12:04.000But hours before Air Force One landed at Jose Marti International Airport,
00:12:09.000I love how the New York Times phrases that, by the way.
00:12:11.000It's just a challenge inherent in normalizing relations.
00:12:12.000It's not that they're an evil communist regime.
00:12:28.000New York Times says the protest, which takes place most Sundays outside a suburban church here, was widely seen as a test of Cuba's tolerance for dissent during the presidential trip, and the arrest confirmed Cuba was maintaining its long history of repressive tactics, if not intensifying their reach.
00:12:44.000So, I love that they have to buy it back a little bit.
00:12:47.000They may not be intensifying the reach, but you know, this is what they've been doing forever.
00:12:52.000They're still cracking down on dissidents.
00:12:53.000The only difference is now President Obama is posing there as cover for them.
00:12:57.000For Mr. Obama, who is scheduled to meet with dissidents, the detentions threw a spotlight on the core challenge of the visit, how to work with the Castro government while expressing concern for its handling of human rights and free expression.
00:13:09.000And then the New York Times coverage is amazing here.
00:13:11.000Security and control are mainstays of any country preparing to host the president.
00:13:21.000They say, but Cuba, a nation still working out just how much to open up to the world and to its own people after decades of isolation, has gone above and beyond to prevent embarrassing surprises.
00:13:29.000I mean, the New York Times could be written by the Cuban regime with this kind of press.
00:13:34.000They're just trying to work out how much to open up, you know, to their own citizens, you know, the people who live there.
00:13:38.000They're trying to figure out how much to not arrest them for disagreeing with them.
00:13:42.000They're just trying to figure it out, you know, after decades of isolation, which is really, you know, the United States' fault, their isolation.
00:13:48.000The baseball game Obama is supposed to watch with the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday.
00:13:53.000It's an invitation-only event with most seats going to government loyalists.
00:15:44.000I mean, people are literally trying to take their 1950s-era cars, inflate the tires enough so that the car actually floats, and then float their way from Cuba to Florida.
00:15:53.000You got people who are engineers, people who are professors, trying to float to Florida in order to take jobs as dishwashers in Miami.
00:16:01.000Right, that's how bad things are in Cuba.
00:16:02.000But here's SportsCenter, which is a sycophantic organization for Obama.
00:16:06.000ESPN is just, I mean, they just kiss Obama's ass nonstop.
00:16:10.000And here they are, writing, Savior and Scourge.
00:16:16.000Hitler was many things to many people.
00:16:18.000One thing we can all agree on, he loved his dog.
00:16:20.000I mean, like, what in the world does that, is that supposed to, he loved his sports?
00:16:24.000What is that supposed to, how is that a good thing?
00:16:27.000Senator Ted Cruz, who of course is of Cuban extraction, he says on Sunday, President Barack Obama, a retinue of celebrities in tow, is expected to arrive in the Cuban capital to hang out with Raul Castro and his henchmen, all of which will be breathlessly documented by the media mavens along for the ride.
00:16:42.000Meanwhile, political prisoners languishing in dungeons across the island will hear this message.
00:18:06.000Finally, maybe the thing that I hate the most,
00:18:09.000All of this results in a romanticization of poverty because socialism and communism inherently end with poverty.
00:18:14.000When you take people who achieve and force them not to achieve, or you take away the fruits of their labors and hand them over to people as a reward for non-labor, what you end up with is a poorer population.
00:18:25.000But the left instead decides to romanticize poverty.
00:18:29.000And they kick it into high gear with Obama in Cuba.
00:18:31.000So for example, here's the New York Times today.
00:18:51.000The people are more alive because they're poor, you see.
00:18:53.000They're more in touch with who they really are.
00:18:56.000This is something that a bunch of college students have this idea.
00:18:59.000Idiot college students who love Bernie Sanders.
00:19:01.000They go abroad to foreign countries where people die at age 35 and they think, oh, these people, they're really in touch with the land.
00:19:21.000Joachim Eskildsen has always felt a strong connection to Cuba.
00:19:24.000Over the last few years, the Danish photographer has produced a body of work that attempts to show the life and energy that defines the Caribbean island nation.
00:19:32.000Quote, Cuba desperately needs a change to its system so it will work better for its people.
00:19:37.000But this does not mean they should embrace an American vision.
00:20:02.000It's all they have because they've cut themselves off for two generations now, and now they're gonna enter three and four generations because of what President Obama just did.
00:20:09.000So it's a disaster all the way around, and I'll tell you why President Obama did it in just a minute.
00:20:14.000But first, we have to take a brief profit timeout with our friends over at Reagan.com.
00:20:18.000So Reagan.com, if you don't know anything about Reagan.com, great organization.
00:20:23.000Basically, they handle your email for you.
00:20:35.000The first thing that it does for you is it means that all of your lefty friends have to see Reagan's name on all your emails, which is super cool because, let's face it, they're super obnoxious and terrible.
00:20:44.000And I don't know why you're friends with them in the first place, but if you have lefty friends, then I guess you should go to reaganprivacy.com to annoy them.
00:20:50.000The second reason is because reagan.com pledges, and they vow, that they will not turn over, copy, scan, sell a single word of your email content to marketers,
00:22:40.000Obama, by going and continuing his now eight-year-long apology tour, he's surrendered America's moral credibility at the foot of some of the worst people on planet Earth, and he's happy about it, and the left is cheering him.
00:22:52.000And the polls show that most Americans are fine with this.
00:22:54.000And the polls just demonstrate, as I said last week and got a lot of flack for it, that the people can be wrong.
00:23:01.000Polls show that the people very often in the United States are wrong.
00:23:05.000If you're a Cuban expatriate looking at this today, you have to be sick to your stomach.
00:23:10.000And certainly if you're living in Cuba, you ought to be even more sick to your stomach.
00:23:12.000This is the equivalent of President Obama going and hanging out with the folks in Iran while the protesters in Iran got rounded up and shot or thrown in jail.
00:23:59.000It makes you sick to your stomach when you look at the president.
00:24:01.000This is our president doing this and it does make it it makes you a little bit nauseous when the president of the United States is standing up there.
00:24:09.000In front of a mural of Che Guevara to do propaganda for the hardcore communist left.
00:24:16.000Okay, so, meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to rise to the nomination.
00:24:22.000And at that meeting in Washington, D.C., a bunch of people show up, including Jim DeMint at the Heritage Foundation, several senators, a bunch of Congress people.
00:24:29.000They all show up, some to kowtow, some to hear what Trump has to say.
00:24:33.000Trump is still embroiled in this controversy over his protesters who continue to get into altercations with people.
00:24:41.000His campaign manager got in another altercation with somebody.
00:24:45.000So let's start with the fact that Donald Trump is not losing popularity because of this.
00:24:51.000He was asked over the weekend by George Stephanopoulos about his protesters getting violent with people and here's what Donald Trump had to say.
00:24:58.000You appear to be much more upset by the protesters than by the violent response to those protesters.
00:25:04.000I am very, uh, I wouldn't use the word upset.
00:25:08.000I think it's very unfair that these really, in many cases, professional, in many cases, sick protesters can put cars on a road, blocking thousands of great Americans from coming to a speech, and nobody says anything about that.
00:25:25.000But they'll say something about whatever.
00:25:27.000I will tell you, George, it's very unfair.
00:25:30.000Let me just tell you, it's very unfair.
00:25:33.000Why don't you mention the fact that people were delayed for an hour to get into an arena
00:25:38.000In the only road going there, that they were delayed for an hour because people were blocking the road.
00:25:44.000And why don't you say in Tucson, where the people were blocking the main entrance into the arena?
00:25:50.000We showed that blockade right at the top of the broadcast.
00:25:53.000Okay, he says we showed it right at the top of the broadcast.
00:25:55.000But then you downplay it and you ask Trump about it.
00:25:57.000You've never asked Hillary or Bernie Sanders about their protesters blocking people off or getting violent in Chicago or any of the rest of it.
00:26:08.000And we'll explain why this is a problem in a second.
00:26:10.000So one of the reasons Trump is popular is because all the people who could be calling him out and the people like me on the right who think that the left is awful.
00:26:16.000So when we call him out, I think that has more credibility.
00:26:19.000But George Stephanopoulos calling out Donald Trump
00:26:22.000Excuse me, for violence at protests is insane.
00:26:26.000George Stephanopoulos has backed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, both of whom have incentivized their own supporters to get violent across the country, whether it's Occupy Wall Street or Black Lives Matter.
00:27:04.000People would, Democrats would have been outraged at the notion of people blocking access to Obama events.
00:27:11.000And I think that actually there is a role for protest, but there also needs to be space, and we've talked about it before with respect to the Black Lives Matter movement and stopping Sanders from
00:27:22.000There has to be space for Trump to relay his message as odious as it is, and there is appropriate space and time for protesters to disagree with that message without squelching it entirely.
00:27:35.000Okay, so what she's saying there is exactly right, and Trump is exactly right, which is the media focus so much on what's going on at the Trump rallies and the Trump protests that they forget that the left has been doing this for literally decades.
00:27:46.000I mean, I was reading back about the 1960s over the weekend.
00:28:10.000The left has been fine with this forever.
00:28:12.000I mean, there were campus issues in the 1930s in favor of the communist left.
00:28:16.000So the left has always been fine with this.
00:28:19.000And the fact the left is fine with it means that it's very disingenuous when they turn around and they say, oh, Trump, you know, you're the one who's violent.
00:28:25.000So when George Stephanopoulos asks Donald Trump about discouraging supporters from rioting at the convention, he doesn't have any credibility to ask this question.
00:28:34.000So, I say this, if you're going to disenfranchise all of those people, some of whom have never voted before and they're 50 years old and older, but if you're going to disenfranchise all of those people, independents, democrats, you know we have a lot of democrats coming over, we have a lot of independents coming over.
00:28:52.000We do have some people that have never voted before.
00:28:55.000I don't know what, I didn't say, all I can say is this, I don't know what's going to happen, but I will say this,
00:29:01.000You're going to have a lot of very unhappy people.
00:29:03.000And I think, frankly, for the Republicans to disenfranchise all those people, because if that happens, they're not voting and the Republicans lose.
00:29:12.000If the Republicans embrace these great people that are showing up,
00:29:17.000The Republicans are going to have a massive victory.
00:29:19.000It's not going to be a Mitt Romney slaughter because he was such a bad candidate.
00:29:24.000The Republicans are going to have a massive victory in November.
00:29:28.000Will you tell your supporters not to riot if you lose the convention fair and square?
00:29:34.000Well, I would certainly tell them that.
00:29:35.000But, you know, look, these people are fervent.
00:29:39.000They want to see positive things happen for our country.
00:29:53.000As we've said, every time somebody uses a sentence and then in the middle of the sentence they say but, what happens after the but is the part of the sentence that matters.
00:30:01.000But again, Stephanopoulos has no credibility to call him out on this.
00:30:05.000And you can tell this from the video of the actual protest.
00:30:07.000So, for example, here's a video of a protester being punched and kicked by a Donald Trump supporter.
00:30:44.000So, there are people on the right, including the Trump campaign, who are saying that this was, and this is where the double standard sets in.
00:30:51.000Donald Trump is the result of the double standard.
00:30:54.000Donald Trump is a bunch of people across the country basically saying, you've had it this way for a long time, and you've told us we can't do it this way, well we're gonna do it, we're gonna be everything that you say we are, because you are all of those things.
00:31:06.000That's essentially the argument that they're making.
00:31:08.000So in that video, what you don't see, what prefaces this, is that the protester was wearing a KKK outfit and doing a Heil Hitler salute.
00:31:15.000Now, I still think you don't get to clock people for that.
00:31:18.000I think that if the guy's disrupting the protest, you call security and you have the person removed.
00:31:22.000I'm not in favor of shutting down protesters by punching them in the face, but there were people who were on the right who were saying, well, you have to see what came before that.
00:31:54.000There are a lot of people in the United States who would say, that guy deserves to be punched in the face for wearing a KKK outfit, right?
00:32:00.000Well, once you say that someone can be punched in the face for speech, it doesn't matter what the speech is, someone can get punched in the face for speech.
00:32:07.000Because there's always somebody offended enough by speech to punch somebody else in the face.
00:32:11.000So the left can't say certain people deserve to be punched in the face for their speech and certain people don't.
00:32:16.000The same left complaining about Donald Trump and saying he's violent, they're the same people who took a poll over the weekend finding that more Americans than not would actually like to punch Donald Trump.
00:32:25.000They're the ones asking that poll question.
00:32:29.000The problem, of course, is that I thought that we, here on the right, were supposed to be advocates for civilization, right?
00:32:36.000We were supposed to be advocates against the idea that you get punched based on speech, that if somebody's wearing a costume you don't like next to you, you don't have the right to punch them in the face, that this is a basic American principle.
00:32:47.000So long as they're not violating the law, you don't have the ability to take the law into your own hands, no matter how offended you are.
00:32:53.000I always thought that this was the basic notion.
00:32:55.000And the problem is it's extended all the way up the Trump campaign.
00:32:58.000So he's taking all of the space that's been created by the left.
00:33:01.000That space to riot, it wasn't just created by the mayor of Baltimore for the Black Lives Matter movement, it was created for everyone.
00:33:08.000Because when you say people can riot or they can engage in acts of violence based on whether they have the right political viewpoint, there are people eventually who are gonna say, well, we think we have the right political viewpoint, right?
00:33:17.000We disagree with you, but you said violence is okay.
00:33:46.000Corey Lewandowski, at first the Trump campaign said he didn't do it.
00:33:49.000Well, their credibility is basically shot here.
00:33:51.000Here is Corey Lewandowski grabbing a protester.
00:33:54.000You're gonna see Corey Lewandowski in this video.
00:33:56.000Grab a protester by the back of the shirt and pull him, and you're simultaneously going to hear Donald Trump say that Corey Lewandowski did not actually touch the protester.
00:34:05.000So first, here's the video of Corey Lewandowski, his campaign manager.
00:34:08.000I don't know what he's doing in the crowd in the first place.
00:34:10.000You know, when we went to Cal State LA, we went with a bunch of staff people.
00:34:15.000None of them wandered into the crowd to assault the protesters.
00:34:18.000Here's Corey Lewandowski in the crowd, and you're gonna hear Trump talk about it as the video plays, and you're gonna hear him deny what you're watching, like, directly in front of you.
00:34:26.000We also have seen that video there of your campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who does appear in that video to grab the collar of the protester, also your private security.
00:34:35.000Why is your campaign manager out in the crowd engaging protesters?
00:34:38.000This is the second incident in about a month.
00:34:39.000Well, you know what, because the security at the arena, the police were a little bit lax.
00:34:44.000And he had signs, they had signs up in that area that were horrendous, that I cannot say what they said on the sign, but the ultimate word, and it was all over the camera, and frankly, the television cameras can't take it, and they can't do anything about it, and I will give him credit, spirit.
00:35:01.000Now, he didn't touch, he wasn't... Well, the video does show that he touched him.
00:35:05.000Your private security pulled him, but it does show he grabbed the top.
00:37:08.000Republicans, including myself, who find him morally repulsive.
00:37:12.000And he's just not... There are some things more important than winning an election.
00:37:15.000And supporting a guy who tears at the social fabric, who insults the office of the president by being completely unprepared for it, who plays on bigotry and fear, who is the sort of demagogue our founders feared would upset the American experiment in self-government, well, that kind of guy you just can't support even if it means a defeat.
00:37:32.000And I think a lot of Republicans feel that way, which is why you get those 40% numbers of defectors.
00:37:36.000Okay, so what he's saying here is actually right.
00:37:38.000I also find Trump morally reprehensible.
00:37:41.000I think that he is everything that is wrong with reactionary politics.
00:37:45.000But, because David Brooks is the guy who goes along to get along, because David Brooks is the guy who thinks the left is okay,
00:37:51.000People respond with, I'm going to disregard your entire opinion.
00:37:54.000So the problem is David Brooks and the media created Donald Trump because Donald Trump is just a backlash.
00:38:09.000People look at the media, the same media that defended leftist violence for literally decades, and they say, you're going to tell us that we can't do this now?
00:38:24.000Because, hey, you know, we have to, a phrase I like to use, punch back twice as hard.
00:38:29.000The problem is that the way that they're punching back is by nominating a guy who is not conservative, who's not going to defend the principles.
00:38:38.000And the reason he feels like a reaction is because of how he talks, because he doesn't talk like a politician, because he talks at third grade level, because he has the worst grammar of any political candidate.
00:39:17.000I just think Trump is a terrible vehicle for it.
00:39:19.000If you want to react, react in strategic fashion with somebody who actually believes the thing you believe, not just somebody who yells a lot.
00:39:28.000But, you know, there are people out there who say, well, Trump is the most likely to win.
00:39:32.000I've made this case myself on the program.
00:39:34.000I've said that Trump, for months I've said, Trump may be the most selectable Republican in the field because he is drawing in these kind of white, these blue collar white voters in the Rust Belt.
00:39:44.000Well, I'm starting to fade on that one, too.
00:39:47.000Here is Donald Trump over the weekend on Mitt Romney, for example, right?
00:40:32.000This, this is how, because he's a big middle finger, he's just a big human middle finger, but when he says things like, Mitt Romney's not even a Mormon, there's a poll out over the weekend, it shows that Donald Trump might lose to Hillary Clinton in Utah.
00:41:29.000I think this is a... Some folks find it to be interesting and that's great, but it isn't likely and it's probably too late.
00:41:40.000And there is no definitive answer right now as to who the nominee is going to be of our show.
00:41:47.000I think all of it's far too early, George.
00:41:49.000And Sean Spicer, who's the spokesman for the RNC, says if Trump is the nominee, we'll get behind him 100%.
00:41:55.000Apparently throwing themselves headlong into a battle that will end not only in loss, but in the discarding of conservatism in favor of this sort of reactionary anger.
00:42:05.000Honestly, I'm so much in favor of the anger itself, but it has to be channeled.
00:42:09.000It's just a waste of time unless it's channeled.
00:42:11.000It's just my two-year-old yelling unless it's channeled, and so far it has not been channeled.
00:42:16.000And so what you get is the equivalent of a two-year-old yelling on the national stage just because
00:42:50.000The cast is Paul Schofield, who won Best Actor, and Robert Shaw, who wasn't nominated but should have been for Best Supporting Actor, as Henry VIII.
00:42:57.000And it's about Sir Thomas More, and it's about Sir Thomas More standing up against King Henry VIII and saying that he would not go along, he's his Chancellor, and he said, I won't go along with the idea that you are the head of the Church of England, the Pope is still the head of the Church, and you don't get to just make up your own rules because you want a divorce really, really badly.
00:44:13.000I give the devil benefit of law for my own safety's sake.
00:44:17.000Okay, so what he's arguing against is ultimate power.
00:44:20.000What he's arguing there is complex language, but he's arguing against his ultimate power.
00:44:23.000So what happened there is a guy comes in who's an emissary from Henry VIII, who's an enemy of Sir Thomas More, and he's gonna go back to Henry VIII and report that Sir Thomas More is siding against him in this battle over the church.
00:44:35.000And they say to him, you need to arrest that guy.
00:44:37.000You don't grab that guy before he goes and reports on you.
00:44:40.000And Sir Thomas More says, but I can't do that because he hasn't broken any law.
00:44:44.000And they're saying to him, it doesn't matter if he's broken any law.
00:44:51.000And you should do something to make him stop.
00:44:53.000And Sir Thomas More says, in Paul Schofield here, he says, here's the deal.
00:44:59.000Law is more important than your opinion of law.
00:45:03.000Meaning that if the law does not protect people, simply because whenever something bad happens, we get to break the law and just violate it in favor of justice, what you end up with is arbitrary tyranny.
00:45:14.000What you end up with is the devil completely in charge.
00:45:16.000Because what the law is designed to do is protect us from arbitrary rule.
00:45:20.000That's what the law is designed to do.
00:45:21.000John Adams said that we need a government of laws, not of men.
00:45:25.000What he meant by that is that the law itself is supposed to protect against bad men.
00:45:30.000The Constitution was meant to protect us against tyrants like President Obama and aspiring tyrants like Donald Trump.
00:45:36.000That's what the Constitution was meant to do.
00:45:38.000And when you say we're gonna put all the rules aside, the rules of civilization and the rules of nonviolence and the rules of
00:45:46.000Decency and the rules of the Constitution, we're gonna put it all aside because we have to pursue, we have to pursue what's right, we have to go after what's right, we have to fight the devil, so we're gonna knock down all the laws.
00:45:56.000When you do that, the law is worth nothing.
00:45:59.000And once that happens, it's just a question of who wields the sword.
00:46:02.000Once we've gotten rid of the book, and all that's left, once the law book is burned, and all that's left is the sword, the only question is, who holds the sword?
00:46:10.000Today it could be you, but tomorrow it's gonna be somebody else.
00:46:14.000The Democrats have created this situation, but Republicans ought not participate in it.
00:46:17.000Conservatives ought not participate in it.
00:46:20.000That's the case that he's essentially making there.
00:46:21.000He's saying, if we have to sacrifice our own interests because the rule of law must be preserved, then we have to sacrifice our own interests because rule of law must be preserved.
00:46:33.000If the philosophy of conservatism can only be, quote-unquote, upheld by destroying the philosophy of conservatism, it's not worth the paper it's written on.
00:46:50.000I mean electing a man who is not conservative in any way to be the emissary of conservatism, perverting it beyond all recognition, and driving a conservative base of support into the hands of a national populist, a nationalist populist.
00:47:56.000The best reply I saw was from, I think it was David Ferdowso over at The Federalist, who replied, or Washington Examiner, who wrote back something like,
00:48:18.000They didn't have those then, presumably.
00:48:20.000And this is the stupidity of the left's argument.
00:48:22.000Besides which, Luke Skywalker, if anybody else, should know that a man who has been disarmed has also been dishanded.
00:48:29.000So, you know, no blaster control if you're Luke Skywalker.
00:48:33.000But this is celebrities mouthing off about things they don't know anything about.
00:48:36.000Speaking of celebrities mouthing off, by the way, there was a big event today with Chelsea Clinton and Lena Dunham, who is famous mostly for getting nude and being ugly.
00:48:44.000If she were nude and pretty, then nobody would know her name, because that's everybody in Hollywood.
00:48:48.000But she's nude and ugly, so everybody knows her name.
00:48:50.000She was campaigning alongside Chelsea Clinton, who's known for having a famous last name, as well as America Ferreira, who's in Ugly Betty, and I guess she's in other things now, but nobody knows why or what.
00:49:03.000The celebrities of the left, it's funny, the celebrities of the right get laughed at, but the celebrities of the left are far more laughable than the celebrities of the right.
00:49:10.000Mark Hamill just being the latest example.
00:49:13.000Okay, folks, so we will be back tomorrow.
00:49:15.000We'll see how much further President Obama can plunge the nation into doom and disaster as he goes on his world apology tour.
00:49:22.000And as always, if you have mail for us, we will go through it on the mailbag.
