The Ben Shapiro Show - Everything Is Cancelled | Ep. 1028

00:00:00.000 Al Sharpton takes center stage at the George Floyd Memorial, a New York Times editor urges targeting of those who disagree with the woke police, and the governor of Kentucky announces illegal racial reparations.

00:00:10.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:00:10.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:12.000 Today's show is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

00:00:19.000 Protect your data from prying eyes at expressvpn.com slash Ben.

00:00:24.000 Alrighty, so everything is cancelled, guys.

00:00:25.000 It's very exciting.

00:00:26.000 We've reached a new moment in America, and that is everyone who has ever said anything that the woke police don't like is cancelled.

00:00:32.000 They'll lose their jobs, they'll lose their career.

00:00:33.000 Now, this has been on the wave for a while.

00:00:35.000 We've been seeing this for a long time, this sort of attitude that is pervasive throughout the media, that true journalism can be found in digging up people's 12-year-old, 15-year-old, 20-year-old tweets and then shaming them into giving up their jobs or leaving their positions unless they have the proper woke politics.

00:00:50.000 If you have the proper woke politics, you get to keep your jobs.

00:00:52.000 If you're Jimmy Kimmel and you are the woke pope of late-night TV, then you absolutely get to dress in blackface as Karl Malone and keep your job.

00:00:59.000 If you're Jimmy Fallon and you have bowed the knee to the politically correct police, then you get to dress up as Chris Rock back in 2000, apologize, and everything is okay.

00:01:08.000 If, however, you aren't any of those things, then your wife has to apologize, like Drew Brees, your second cousin from Duluth has to apologize, and you may not be able to keep your job at all.

00:01:15.000 And this is the new pattern in American public life.

00:01:18.000 So if your politics are correct, Then you get to basically say whatever you want historically, and if we find something kind of uncomfortable, well then, you know, we'll sort of brush it off.

00:01:27.000 If you're Ralph Northam, and you dress up in a KKK outfit in the 1980s, well then, you're totally fine.

00:01:32.000 Now, I've been consistent on this, which is, people sin.

00:01:35.000 People are sinful.

00:01:36.000 People do things that are bad in their lives.

00:01:38.000 And they should apologize to people to whom they have sinned.

00:01:40.000 And they should do restitution to people against whom they have sinned.

00:01:44.000 People make bad comments.

00:01:45.000 People should apologize for those bad comments.

00:01:47.000 A bad comment is not the same thing as doing something deeply damaging to another human being.

00:01:52.000 An assault is not the same thing as saying something bad to someone.

00:01:55.000 A bad joke is not the same thing as firing someone over race.

00:01:59.000 But we don't abide by any... And by the way, I hold to those standards right, left, and center.

00:02:03.000 I've defended people on the left.

00:02:04.000 Who have said stuff that is deeply offensive and wrong.

00:02:07.000 To take a perfect example, Sarah Irao now works at the New York Times. 0.89

00:02:11.000 When she was first hired by the New York Times, people resurfaced old tweets of hers where she was joking about how white people's opinions suck and stereotypical white people and all of this kind of stuff.

00:02:18.000 And I said, OK, well, I think that those comments are pretty bad, but the New York Times knew what they had when they hired her, and so she shouldn't lose her job over anything like that.

00:02:25.000 Because guess what?

00:02:26.000 In a society with a lot of opinions and a lot of diversity, you're going to have to tolerate some opinions you don't like and even some nastiness.

00:02:33.000 You're going to have to tolerate all that if you want to live together because it turns out people are sinful and say nasty and terrible things to one another all the time.

00:02:39.000 And that is not the same thing as ruining somebody's life.

00:02:41.000 That is not the same thing as creating systems of oppression.

00:02:43.000 That is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination.

00:02:46.000 Now, if you're going to hold true to the standard that the left is currently setting up, which is that if you've said something that targets another group or you've said something offensive or racially insensitive, then your life is over.

00:02:56.000 Well then that should be evenly applied across the spectrum.

00:02:58.000 And then no one gets to work.

00:02:59.000 Because as we will see, the way that this works is that the people who are deemed okay by the woke police get away with anything and everything they could possibly want to say, including some of the worst racial slurs imaginable.

00:03:10.000 But, if you do not side with the woke police on their decision-making about policy, or about America being a systemically racist and evil country, and about you bearing guilt for the things that ancestors of yours, or non-ancestors of yours did, well then, you are part of the problem, and we will use every indicator that you once told a bad joke as an indicator that you are a direct ideological descendant of slaveholders. 0.58

00:03:31.000 Even if you aren't an actual descendant of slaveholders.

00:03:33.000 That is the way this will work.

00:03:35.000 So you just have to be on the right side, in other words.

00:03:38.000 There are a lot of people on the left today who are saying this is the Me Too moment with regard to racism.

00:03:42.000 It's the Me Too moment with regard to racism.

00:03:43.000 Well, if it is, then it's going to end just like Me Too did, with a whimper, not a bang.

00:03:47.000 It's going to end the moment that the left realizes that they can't uphold their own standards.

00:03:51.000 And when people expect them to uphold their own standards, they're just going to shy away from it.

00:03:55.000 Because we know they're not going to do that.

00:03:57.000 We know that they want Ralph Northam to keep his job.

00:03:59.000 We know that they're not interested in ousting Ice Cube for being an anti-Semite.

00:04:02.000 We know that they're not interested in going after LeBron James for his anti-Semitic Instagram comments a year and a half ago.

00:04:08.000 We know they're not interested in going after Al Sharpton for being the worst race baiter of the last 50 years.

00:04:12.000 We know all of that.

00:04:13.000 And so what that means is that people are going to see right through this and they're going to say, okay, this is just a politically driven hit job against people you don't like anyway.

00:04:21.000 That is mostly what this is.

00:04:22.000 And that's not an excuse for people making bad comments.

00:04:24.000 You should apologize and then we should all move on with our lives.

00:04:26.000 That is not an excuse for a bad old tweet.

00:04:28.000 People do apologize and they move on with their lives.

00:04:30.000 But that is not what is happening right now.

00:04:31.000 Right now what we are watching is a seek and destroy mission against history.

00:04:35.000 People trying to tear down statues of Lincoln and Churchill.

00:04:37.000 Not just statues of Confederate slaveholders.

00:04:40.000 We are seeing people attempting to wipe away Western history.

00:04:42.000 We are seeing people attempt to wipe away Western philosophy.

00:04:45.000 Rights themselves are apparently an exercise of hierarchical power. 0.53

00:04:49.000 We are seeing people attempt to wipe away and erase aspects of history that are good.

00:04:55.000 As we will see, Hattie McDaniels, the first Black Academy Award winner, has now been wiped away from history, according to HBO Max, because the movie in which she starred, Gone with the Wind, is now perceived as wrong on slavery.

00:05:06.000 And there are a lot of problems with Gone with the Wind on slavery.

00:05:08.000 But guess what?

00:05:10.000 That is a classic movie.

00:05:11.000 It's a great movie.

00:05:12.000 You can show that movie to people and then say, here are all the things that are wrong with it.

00:05:15.000 But we're not going to do that.

00:05:16.000 We're just going to wipe away the history and we're going to create a new world.

00:05:19.000 The first move toward creating a new world is destroying the old one.

00:05:22.000 And that is what we are watching in real time.

00:05:24.000 And anybody who says, wait a second, some things about this world are pretty damned good.

00:05:28.000 Those people are now the targets.

00:05:30.000 Whereas if you are trying to tear down the old world, you can say whatever the hell you want about anybody at any time.

00:05:34.000 It does not matter.

00:05:35.000 We're going to get to this in just one second, because it's a pretty ugly world we're about to create.

00:05:40.000 Tearing down the temple around the ears of the Philistines here is not what is happening.

00:05:45.000 Instead, you're just tearing down the temples of Western civilization in the name of a better world, and the better world ain't coming.

00:05:50.000 Because you have proposed no policies that make this world better.

00:05:52.000 We're gonna get to this in just one second.

00:05:54.000 First, let's talk about the fact that personal finance these days is incredibly important.

00:07:19.000 Okay, so how can we tell that a double standard is underway or a triple standard or a quadruple standard is underway when it comes to who must be ousted from places of public approval?

00:07:29.000 Well, we know this because Al Sharpton was the keynote speaker at the memorial for George Floyd.

00:07:33.000 Now, there were a bunch of speakers at the memorial for George Floyd who were great.

00:07:36.000 Seriously, that Galvita King was great.

00:07:38.000 We had members of the George Floyd family who were great.

00:07:41.000 We had local pastors who were great. 0.57

00:07:43.000 Al Sharpton's a grifter. 0.97

00:07:44.000 Al Sharpton's a race baiter. 1.00

00:07:45.000 Al Sharpton's a terrible human being.

00:07:47.000 Al Sharpton has spent years doing everything from inciting violence Being involved in the incitement of not one but two riots, the Crown Heights riot in 1991 that ended with the death of an Orthodox Jew, Yankel Rosenbaum, to inciting an arson at a At a district called Freddy's Fashion Mart and a small shop that ended up killing what actually minority people. 0.65

00:08:10.000 Al Sharpton has spent years grifting.

00:08:12.000 He literally made up a rape case against a DA that did not exist with Tawana Browley. 0.90

00:08:17.000 He spent years saying the worst things imaginable about Jews, about white people. 1.00

00:08:20.000 I mean, he's just garbage. 1.00

00:08:21.000 He's a garbage human being, Al Sharpton. 1.00

00:08:23.000 And he has made his career basically by going around and threatening companies And saying, if you refuse to give a donation to my group, then I'm just going to call you racist. 1.00

00:08:31.000 So he did this with Macy's, most memorably, where he went to Macy's, he accused them of profiling black shoppers.

00:08:36.000 And then he said, but if you give a donation, we'll quiet down about all of that.

00:08:39.000 And that's essentially what he did.

00:08:42.000 I'm just going to read you some of Reverend Al Sharpton's racist statements.

00:08:45.000 Okay, these are things that Al Sharpton has said in the past.

00:08:46.000 That guy has a show on MSNBC, and he spoke at George Floyd's memorial, where he was apparently the gateway to a new world.

00:08:52.000 Which is pretty incredible.

00:08:53.000 He said, quote, Direct quote from Al Sharpton.

00:08:54.000 the caves while we blacks was building empires.

00:08:56.000 We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was.

00:09:00.000 We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it. 1.00

00:09:04.000 Direct quote from Al Sharpton.

00:09:06.000 Al Sharpton.

00:09:07.000 So if some cracker come and tell you, well, my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower, you better hold your pocket.

00:09:12.000 That ain't nothing to be proud of. 0.96

00:09:13.000 That means their forefathers was crooks. 0.99

00:09:15.000 If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house. 1.00

00:09:20.000 He also called Jews diamond merchants during the Freddie's Fashion Mart situation. 0.84

00:09:24.000 This guy is being trotted out as the leader of the new America that is going to be built in the wake of the old racist, systemically racist America.

00:09:33.000 Nobody's made a bigger career off of calling America racist than Al Sharpton without actually accomplishing anything and accomplishing his chief goal of making people in America feel victimized when in fact the American system is incredibly free.

00:09:44.000 If you want to succeed in America, Work hard.

00:09:47.000 There's nobody sitting there saying, we want to stop you.

00:09:49.000 Seriously, this notion that there are people who are sitting up nights trying to figure out how to stop you is insane.

00:09:54.000 But the Al Sharpton perspective on the world has filtered throughout American society.

00:09:59.000 Perfect example.

00:10:00.000 There's a guy named Meek Mill.

00:10:01.000 Meek Mill was a very, very wealthy rapper.

00:10:03.000 Okay, how wealthy?

00:10:04.000 Well, here's what he tweeted yesterday.

00:10:06.000 And this is pretty indicative of one of the big problems in the country.

00:10:09.000 Maybe the biggest problem in the country is the belief that success is out of reach unless you reject the American system.

00:10:14.000 So Meek Mill tweeted, quote, I've never believed in the American system.

00:10:18.000 I dropped out of school in the 10th grade and made millions at 22.

00:10:21.000 The way they broke things down to me didn't really fit my life as a black kid from poverty, so I took the risk of chasing my own dreams, not the American dream.

00:10:28.000 That is the American dream!

00:10:29.000 You dropped out of high school, and now you made millions at 22, and somehow that's an indication that America is deeply racist and wanted to keep you down?

00:10:37.000 I'm gonna need some better evidence than that, dude.

00:10:39.000 But when you keep promulgating the narrative that black people all over the United States are being kept down by the man, that is a negative narrative.

00:10:47.000 It doesn't help people.

00:10:48.000 It is the least inspiring message I could possibly think of, truthfully.

00:10:52.000 And it's being parroted by everybody from Al Sharpton to Michelle Obama.

00:10:55.000 Michelle Obama spoke to black graduates two days ago and suggested that no matter how hard you work, there are people who are trying to create institutions of power to keep you down.

00:11:03.000 This is a lie. 0.79

00:11:04.000 It is a lie. 0.94

00:11:05.000 What are the institutions of power that are trying to keep black people down when they are trying to do the right thing?

00:11:10.000 Where are those institutions of power?

00:11:11.000 How do we target them together?

00:11:13.000 But those are not the conversations that are being had.

00:11:15.000 Instead, the conversations that are being had are pure, vague conversations about vague American racial impurity and evil on race issues.

00:11:27.000 You don't have to pose a policy solution or even an inspiring message for people who are trying to make their way in the world.

00:11:32.000 All you have to do is yell at people in power and proclaim that they are racist.

00:11:36.000 So Al Sharpton spent his time at George Floyd's memorial ripping President Trump and suggesting there was wickedness in high places.

00:11:43.000 Which, again, it seems to me that if you're going to list all the people who have done things that harmed George Floyd, President Trump is not particularly on this list, but this is what Al Sharpton spends his time doing.

00:11:55.000 Again, why this race-baiting grifter was the keynote speaker at this thing is beyond me. 0.96

00:12:00.000 You could hardly pick a worse example of a person to lead a movement on behalf of racial justice than the disgusting cretin Al Sharpton. 0.99

00:12:06.000 Here he was yesterday. 0.96

00:12:09.000 We are not fighting some disconnected incidents.

00:12:17.000 We are fighting an institutional, systemic problem that has been allowed to permeate since we were brought to these shores.

00:12:31.000 And we are fighting wickedness in high places.

00:12:38.000 Okay, wickedness in high places, meaning President Trump.

00:12:41.000 Then on the back of George Floyd's death, President Trump has to go.

00:12:44.000 Weird, because I don't remember Al Sharpton talking about wickedness in high places during Ferguson.

00:12:48.000 He was very involved in Ferguson and in Baltimore.

00:12:50.000 So really, it only applies to one side.

00:12:52.000 When something bad happens in America, the system is to blame if Barack Obama is not president, is basically the message you get from Al Sharpton.

00:12:58.000 Al Sharpton also spent some time ripping Roger Goodell, which makes perfect sense because George Floyd played in the NFL, except for how he didn't play in the NFL and this has nothing to do with Roger Goodell.

00:13:05.000 But, Roger Goodell must be made to pay the price because Roger Goodell was against people kneeling for the American flag and the national anthem.

00:13:12.000 Which, by the way, was an 80-20 proposition before President Trump started speaking about it.

00:13:15.000 Most Americans do not believe that the American flag represents evil and white supremacy and racism.

00:13:21.000 Most Americans don't believe that.

00:13:23.000 And they don't believe that kneeling for the American flag or the national anthem is a good way to show that you oppose police brutality because it suggests that the American flag is about police brutality, which it is not.

00:13:32.000 But it was very important that at George Floyd's memorial, the grifter Al Sharpton talk about Roger Goodell and how he needs to give Colin Kaepernick a job back.

00:13:44.000 Oh, it's nice to see some people change their mind.

00:13:48.000 The head of the NFL said, yeah, maybe we was wrong.

00:13:54.000 Football players, maybe they did have the right to peacefully protest.

00:14:00.000 Don't come with some empty apology.

00:14:03.000 Take a man's livelihood. 0.99

00:14:06.000 Strip a man down of his talents.

00:14:09.000 And four years later when the whole world is marching, all of a sudden you go and do a FaceTime talking about you sorry?

00:14:18.000 Okay, so now Roger Goodell must be made to kneel.

00:14:21.000 By the way, they're actually talking about the possibility of Roger Goodell kneeling for the national anthem in the upcoming season, and he's going to come out and fully pander and just kneel. 0.93

00:14:29.000 First of all, Colin Kaepernick was going out on the practice field with socks that showed cops as pigs.

00:14:35.000 Colin Kaepernick has led an incredibly wealthy and opportunity-filled life in the United States, the kind of place where you can earn a million dollars for kneeling in a Nike commercial to pander politically.

00:14:45.000 But Roger Goodell's the bad guy.

00:14:46.000 By the way, he was a backup quarterback for the 49ers.

00:14:48.000 If he wants his old job back, I suppose we can make him backup quarterback for the 49ers again.

00:14:52.000 Because that's what he was.

00:14:54.000 Listen, first of all, let me just say that if I were an NFL owner, I would give Kaepernick a job.

00:14:58.000 I would.

00:14:59.000 Because I think it would sell tickets.

00:15:00.000 I think it would sell tickets.

00:15:01.000 Because either he plays great, in which case he becomes sort of the player that half the country loves and half the country loves to hate.

00:15:07.000 Or he gets completely destroyed first day on the job and gets sacked because he doesn't know how to read a passing route, which was the big rap on Kaepernick.

00:15:15.000 And then everybody who doesn't like him cheers and everybody who loves him kind of recognizes that he wasn't that great a player in the first place and all this.

00:15:21.000 But using the memorial service for a man who died of police brutality in order to promote Colin Kaepernick's job opportunities is pretty astonishing.

00:15:32.000 By the way, Colin Kaepernick just last year was given a workout by a bunch of teams and he refused to abide by the rules of the workout because he's posing.

00:15:39.000 It's all poser stuff.

00:15:40.000 So you have Al Sharpton out there.

00:15:42.000 Also, you have Joe Biden.

00:15:43.000 Joe Biden with his wonderful history on race, as everybody has noted.

00:15:47.000 And I'm old enough to remember when Kamala Harris was suggesting that Joe Biden was a racist because he opposed forced busing, and because he had talked kindly about segregation of senators, and because he backed a 1994 crime reform bill.

00:15:57.000 I'm old enough to remember when Joe Biden was the bad guy, but now Joe Biden is the good guy.

00:16:01.000 Why?

00:16:01.000 Because he's a Democratic nominee.

00:16:02.000 So he shows up at George Floyd's memorial as well.

00:16:04.000 Again, we're going to forget about all the things that Joe Biden has ever done or said because Joe Biden holds the correct politics.

00:16:10.000 That's the way that all of this works.

00:16:12.000 We're going to get to Joe Biden, who is calling for change.

00:16:15.000 The man was elected to Congress, to the Senate in 1972.

00:16:17.000 In 1972, he has been In an elected office in the United States since 12 years before I was born.

00:16:26.000 But now's the time for change, guys.

00:16:28.000 Now's the time for change. 0.99

00:16:29.000 We're going to get to Joe Biden and his hypocritical bullcrap in just one second. 0.98

00:16:33.000 But first, let us talk about nutrition. 0.97

00:16:35.000 So I know that this pandemic has been an awful time for people attempting to lose weight.

00:16:39.000 You can't go to the gym.

00:16:40.000 It's been really rough for a lot of folks, but I have lost weight during this pandemic.

00:16:44.000 That's not, I'm not saying that to brag on myself.

00:16:46.000 I am saying that because I know how to do this.

00:16:48.000 And the way you do this is you use Noom.

00:16:50.000 Noom is great.

00:16:50.000 It is a habit-changing solution.

00:16:52.000 So much of losing weight and getting in shape really isn't even about your exercise level.

00:16:56.000 It's more about what you put in your body.

00:16:57.000 What are the kind of things that you eat?

00:16:59.000 Well, Noom helps you take control of all of your habits.

00:17:02.000 It's a habit-changing solution that helps users learn to develop a new relationship with food through personalized courses.

00:17:09.000 Noom teaches moderation.

00:17:10.000 It can be used in conjunction with many pre-existing popular diets.

00:17:13.000 If you want, Noom doesn't tell you what to do and what not to do.

00:17:15.000 Instead, it teaches you how to look inside your own mind and make better decisions for yourself.

00:17:19.000 Noom has one of the biggest, most accurate food databases available.

00:17:22.000 It lets you track meal habits, visualize portion sizes, and see calorie density at a glance.

00:17:28.000 Just tips to help you get back on track tomorrow.

00:17:30.000 You can chat with a goal specialist and the Noom community to get and give help to people who are going through the same thing.

00:17:30.000 It's really great.

00:17:36.000 It really does change how you think about nutrition in a serious way, and that's what you really need in order to lose the weight and get healthier.

00:17:41.000 You don't have to change it all in one day.

00:17:42.000 Small steps make big progress.

00:17:44.000 Sign up for your trial today.

00:17:45.000 At Noom, that's N-O-O-M dot com slash Shapiro. 0.64

00:17:48.000 Again, Noom dot com slash Shapiro to start that trial today.

00:17:51.000 I've got my parents using it too.

00:17:52.000 N-O-O-M dot com slash Shapiro.

00:17:54.000 Noom dot com slash Shapiro.

00:17:56.000 Go check them out right now.

00:17:57.000 Okay, so it wasn't just Al Sharpton grifting.

00:17:59.000 It was also Joe Biden grifting.

00:18:01.000 So Joe Biden, who again, has been in the United States Senate since he was 30 years old.

00:18:05.000 He is now 1,237 years old.

00:18:05.000 He was elected at 29.

00:18:09.000 Now is the time for Joe Biden to talk about changes.

00:18:11.000 Now is the time for racial justice.

00:18:13.000 Ah, Joe Biden, I see you've arrived at the party.

00:18:15.000 You should probably speak at this memorial because of all of the amazing work you've done.

00:18:20.000 Yeah, here's Joe Biden speaking from his basement at George Floyd's memorial.

00:18:26.000 We cannot leave this moment thinking we can once again turn away from racism that stings at our very soul.

00:18:35.000 From systemic abuse that still plagues American life.

00:18:39.000 Now is the time, the purpose, the season to listen and heal.

00:18:44.000 Now is the time for racial justice.

00:18:47.000 That's the answer we must give to our children when they ask why.

00:18:51.000 Because when there is justice for George Floyd, we will truly be on our way to racial justice in America.

00:18:59.000 Okay, I don't even know what he means.

00:19:00.000 Do you know what he means when he says racial justice?

00:19:03.000 That's a pretty vague phrase.

00:19:05.000 What does racial justice mean?

00:19:07.000 To me, anytime you add a modifier before justice, you're doing something wrong.

00:19:10.000 There's no such thing as social justice.

00:19:11.000 There's just justice.

00:19:12.000 Justice is the idea that you get what you deserve, right?

00:19:15.000 George Floyd didn't deserve to die, so he was treated with injustice.

00:19:17.000 Racial justice is the idea that you, by dint of your race, are deserving of something. 1.00

00:19:22.000 I don't think you, by dint of your race, are deserving of anything, either good or bad, because I don't think you control your race. 0.83

00:19:27.000 I think the idea of, quote-unquote, racial justice, that idea is patently absurd on its face, simply because the idea that you, again, ought to be given something solely on the basis of race is silly, just like social justice is silly.

00:19:42.000 There's only individual justice.

00:19:43.000 George Floyd deserved individual justice.

00:19:46.000 No one deserves racial justice. 0.99

00:19:47.000 People deserve individual justice.

00:19:49.000 They deserve what they deserve.

00:19:51.000 They deserve every opportunity.

00:19:52.000 They deserve freedom.

00:19:54.000 They deserve liberty.

00:19:54.000 They deserve to be treated as individual human beings because you're not just a member of a racial group.

00:19:58.000 You're an individual.

00:20:00.000 So I don't know what Joe Biden means by that.

00:20:02.000 It's a phrase that sounds nice.

00:20:04.000 Because anytime you say justice and then add anything before it, it sounds nice.

00:20:07.000 But unless you're going to unpack that phrase, it is a meaningless mush phrase.

00:20:12.000 And again, I wonder if people in that crowd knew that what he was talking about was adding more funding for police, whether they would be on board with his conception of racial justice.

00:20:20.000 Because that is what Joe Biden has said at this point.

00:20:23.000 And so, again, justice, justice, justice is what is deserved.

00:20:27.000 Everybody should have justice.

00:20:29.000 But anytime you add a modifier in front of justice, you have now moved away from the world of justice and towards something that is less just.

00:20:34.000 So speaking of things that are not just, we are now moving into the Me Too era for racism is the new declaration.

00:20:41.000 What this means is not that we are going to identify instances of you doing something bad to another human being.

00:20:46.000 We are going to dig up instances of things that do not meet with the approval of the woke police and then we are going to ruin your life over them. 0.66

00:20:51.000 And this is being egged on by our journalistic betters.

00:20:55.000 Very exciting stuff.

00:20:57.000 You know, the business of journalism becomes incredibly easy when all you have to do is search somebody's old tweets.

00:21:02.000 The business of journalism, usually that involves, you know, tracking down actual stories.

00:21:06.000 But now, journalism is basically, you find a Yale freshman, and then you go back into her Facebook posts, and you find something that's racially insensitive, and then you ruin her.

00:21:14.000 And this is making the world a better place.

00:21:17.000 So there is a girl, I'm gonna say girl, or young woman, who goes to Yale.

00:21:22.000 Her name is Amanda Rose, apparently.

00:21:24.000 And she's, I believe, 18 years old.

00:21:26.000 There's a woman named Skye Jackson, who I've never heard of before, but she's been going around on Twitter basically trying to uncover people's bad old posts. 0.53

00:21:36.000 I don't know who this person is, but she decided that she was going to go after this person who is just a Yale admittee for a post that was put out, what, 10 years ago?

00:21:50.000 Five years ago?

00:21:51.000 Years ago, and for which she's already apologized apparently.

00:21:54.000 And it's an ugly post about when she, I think it's from when she was 15 is the idea here.

00:22:01.000 In which she uses the n-word.

00:22:04.000 Yes, that's very bad.

00:22:05.000 That's bad.

00:22:06.000 Should she have her life ruined over that?

00:22:08.000 I'm gonna go no on that.

00:22:09.000 She was 15 years old.

00:22:11.000 This is the new standard that if you say something when you're 15 years old, we're going to ruin you.

00:22:14.000 A lot of people's lives are going to be ruined, but we understand that that is not the actual standard here, right?

00:22:18.000 That's not the actual standard at all.

00:22:20.000 Because if you're Ice Cube, and you put out black Hebrew Israelite propaganda on your Twitter feed, and if you put out actual QAnon anti-Semitism, you're totally fine. 0.90

00:22:30.000 So Ice Cube, who has 5.3 million Twitter followers, put out an openly anti-Semitic Picture yesterday. 0.87

00:22:36.000 It's a picture of a bunch of old Jewish men sitting over a monopoly board that is built on the back of brown people. 1.00

00:22:42.000 And he says, F the new normal until they fix the old normal.

00:22:44.000 Has Ice Cube faced any blowback?

00:22:46.000 Is he going to lose any jobs over this?

00:22:48.000 He's a hero of the republic, Ice Cube.

00:22:48.000 Of course not.

00:22:50.000 So in other words, the only people who are to be targeted here are people who have the wrong skin color or who don't sufficiently bow to the woke crowd.

00:22:58.000 And by the way, even if you bow to the woke crowd, it's not enough.

00:23:01.000 Because then the next demand is, okay, so what have you done for us lately?

00:23:04.000 That is the next move.

00:23:05.000 And this New York Times editor makes this completely clear.

00:23:07.000 Her name is Ayesha Harris.

00:23:08.000 She's an op-ed staff editor and writer.

00:23:10.000 She has a piece today.

00:23:11.000 It is one of the most immoral pieces I have ever seen in print.

00:23:13.000 It is called, This You.

00:23:14.000 It definitely is.

00:23:15.000 And it's all about calling people out for their sins of the past.

00:23:20.000 But it's not really about atonement.

00:23:22.000 It's not really about making the world a better place.

00:23:24.000 What it really is about is shaming you into doing things that we want you to do with the threat of your career.

00:23:29.000 That's really what this is about. 0.95

00:23:31.000 This is why you have Jimmy Fallon on late night TV apologizing for his cruel racism from 2000 when it didn't bother a damn person back in 2000. 0.96

00:23:39.000 Because it's about shaming him into doing a thing now. 0.78

00:23:41.000 That's really what this is about.

00:23:42.000 We're gonna get to this in just one second.

00:23:43.000 First, let's talk about the fact that right now, pretty bad time to go to an auto parts store.

00:23:47.000 In fact, as it turns out, pretty much every time you go to an auto parts store is a bad time to go to an auto parts store because you're overpaying for the parts.

00:23:53.000 Instead, you should be using the glories of the interweb.

00:23:56.000 Rockauto.com is much easier than walking into a store and someone demanding quick answers to things like, is your Odyssey an LX or an EX, and then they just have to order the part online anyway, or they give you a generic part that's overpriced.

00:24:06.000 Instead, Go to rockauto.com.

00:24:08.000 They always offer the lowest prices possible, rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear, like the airlines do.

00:24:13.000 Why would you spend up to twice as much for the same parts?

00:24:15.000 That's actually happening.

00:24:16.000 Very often you're paying way too much when you go to an auto parts store.

00:24:19.000 Rockauto.com is a family business, serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.

00:24:22.000 Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.

00:24:26.000 Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are always reliably low, and the same for professionals and do-it-yourselfers.

00:24:31.000 Why spend up to twice as much for the same parts?

00:24:33.000 The rockauto.com catalog is unique.

00:24:35.000 It is remarkably easy to navigate.

00:24:36.000 You can quickly see all the parts available for your vehicle and choose the brands, specifications, and prices you prefer.

00:24:41.000 Amazing selection.

00:24:42.000 Reliably low prices.

00:24:43.000 All the parts your car will ever need.

00:24:45.000 Check them out at rockauto.com.

00:24:47.000 Again, rockauto.com.

00:24:48.000 See all the parts available for your car or truck and write Shapiro in there.

00:24:50.000 How did you hear about us, Fox?

00:24:52.000 So they know that we sent you.

00:24:53.000 Okay, so back to this, I think, morally evil column from Aisha Harris over at the New York Times.

00:24:57.000 This you, it definitely is.

00:24:58.000 The Twitter meme of the moment is all about accountability.

00:25:01.000 No, it's not.

00:25:01.000 It's not about accountability.

00:25:03.000 It's not about accountability in the slightest.

00:25:04.000 It's not consistently applied.

00:25:06.000 It only applies to one side of the political aisle.

00:25:08.000 If you are not a member of the woke initiate, then you must pay. 0.76

00:25:12.000 You must kneel. 0.98

00:25:13.000 And if you don't kneel, you must be destroyed. 0.99

00:25:15.000 And if you do kneel, you must be destroyed because there's no absolution. 0.94

00:25:18.000 Once you apologize to the Twitter woke mob, there is no recovery.

00:25:22.000 There is no world in which you come back from that.

00:25:24.000 Once you apologize to the Twitter woke mob, they come for your head.

00:25:28.000 So according to Ayesha Harris, this is all good.

00:25:30.000 She says, this U, brutally crisp and blatantly rhetorical, the phrase has become a catch-all, representing the internet currency of receipts, forcing bandwagon participants to confront things they might have said or done that seemingly contradict their newfound commitment to the clause.

00:25:43.000 So in other words, what she is saying is that this U is supposed to be directed specifically at people who are signaling support for your cause.

00:25:50.000 So if you put up a black square on Blackout Tuesday or whatever that thing was, And then you have an old post that is racially insensitive.

00:25:59.000 We say, this you, because you have not shown your commitment. 1.00

00:26:01.000 You are a hypocrite. 1.00

00:26:02.000 And if you say, well, I apologize for that, but I actually do believe Black Lives Matter. 1.00

00:26:05.000 They say, no, no, no, you obviously didn't believe that.

00:26:07.000 What are you going to give me today?

00:26:08.000 What are you going to do for me today?

00:26:11.000 Does this sound like a way to make a better world?

00:26:12.000 Does this sound like a way to encourage people to be better?

00:26:15.000 Or does it sound like a way to keep people silent and a way for people to basically resent you secretly, which is exactly what is going to happen?

00:26:23.000 Or a way to eventually cast enough people outside the Overton window that they constitute a majority of American society, because it turns out that virtually everybody has said a bad thing online at some point or another.

00:26:32.000 But according to Ayesha Harris, this is making the world a better place, one Twitter mobbing at a time.

00:26:36.000 These Twitter mobs are good.

00:26:37.000 Twitter mobs are good.

00:26:39.000 What are her examples of a Twitter mob being good? 0.90

00:26:41.000 The NFL player Drew Brees, for instance, participated in the thoroughly muddled but hugely popular social media campaign Blackout Tuesday, tweeting a link to his Instagram page where he'd posted a black square to express solidarity with black people.

00:26:53.000 A short and sweet This You was waiting for him in the form of a user's retweet, accompanied by a photo of a smiling Mr. Breeze alongside President Trump and Melania Trump.

00:27:01.000 Wow.

00:27:02.000 Wow.

00:27:03.000 Owned.

00:27:04.000 Owned Drew Brees.

00:27:05.000 You mean you took a picture with the President of the United States and the First Lady?

00:27:08.000 How dare you? 0.99

00:27:09.000 Obviously you're a racist and you don't care about black lives if you took a picture with President Trump and Melania Trump. 1.00

00:27:14.000 Obviously. 0.99

00:27:15.000 Also said Ayesha Harris, he's very bad, because he was a vocal critic of football players kneeling to protest police brutality during the National Anthem.

00:27:22.000 Obviously he's very bad, so we have to this-you him.

00:27:24.000 By the way, I've gotten a lot of this, too.

00:27:26.000 So, for example, I'll say something about how police brutality is bad and George Floyd never should have died, and somebody will tweet out a picture of me with Steve King from five years ago, neglecting to mention that I'm one of the chief reasons that Steve King is no longer sitting in Congress, that I was the first major commentator to suggest he should be ejected from Congress after his white supremacist comments went around, and then I maxed out to his opponent, Kevin Feenstra, on the first day of the controversy.

00:27:49.000 Right, none of that ever happens.

00:27:51.000 Nobody talks about Drew Brees giving $5 million to the people of Louisiana who are disproportionately black on a demographic basis.

00:27:59.000 But according to Aisha Harris, all of this is very good.

00:28:01.000 The Baltimore Police Department tweeted photos of its officers kneeling with protesters.

00:28:04.000 This you?

00:28:05.000 Someone retweeted with a screenshot of a New York Times article featuring the mugshots of the Baltimore officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray.

00:28:12.000 This you, Mark Wahlberg?

00:28:13.000 This you, Justin Bieber?

00:28:14.000 This you, Disney?

00:28:15.000 Oh, well, that obviously is making the world a much better place.

00:28:18.000 Clearly a much better place.

00:28:19.000 So what does this mean?

00:28:20.000 It means intimidation.

00:28:21.000 This is an intimidation tactic directed specifically at you give us what we want or we're going to do this to you.

00:28:26.000 And if you have said something bad in the past, then you have to give us triple what we want.

00:28:32.000 It's basically a ransom note.

00:28:34.000 This you is a ransom note.

00:28:35.000 It is give us what we want and continue giving us what we want forever.

00:28:38.000 And it doesn't matter if you apologize.

00:28:40.000 That doesn't matter one iota.

00:28:42.000 Because if you think that people are going to just forgive Drew Brees for the great sin of having said that he doesn't like kneeling for the American flag, you would be wrong.

00:28:49.000 But according to Aisha Harris, it's delectable.

00:28:51.000 It's satisfying.

00:28:51.000 It's a message.

00:28:52.000 A message for the moment in which combating anti-blackness is the thing to do.

00:28:57.000 Anti-racist literature lists are being shared far and wide.

00:28:59.000 Inboxes are awash in carefully worded, very special emails from businesses espousing key phrases like racial disparities and we pledge to do better.

00:29:08.000 Protests from city to city and country to country have carried on for many days, now featuring Ben Affleck and show little sign of slowing anytime soon.

00:29:15.000 This you captures the sense among some that for all the attention given and demonstrating and donating that has occurred in the past two weeks, not much has changed.

00:29:22.000 Yet.

00:29:23.000 It feels like this is lip service.

00:29:24.000 Everyone is cool doing it.

00:29:25.000 It's finally safe for them to do too.

00:29:27.000 It highlights the hypocrisy, the disconnect between actions and words.

00:29:31.000 That's the power.

00:29:32.000 A detailed tweet revealing how a star who just announced Black Lives Matter also has a history of mistreating her black colleagues is juicy to read, but a This You retweet from a random user is like a simple alley-oop.

00:29:41.000 It just hits differently.

00:29:42.000 It's a way to keep people and organizations in check, and nudge them to work harder to receive their cookies, to make it clear this won't be easy for them, because it has never been easy for black people. 0.54

00:29:51.000 Ah, there it is.

00:29:52.000 So you may never have actually done a racist thing, you may have said something racially insensitive on Twitter once, but you don't get your cookie.

00:29:57.000 Namely, we're not going to leave you alone.

00:29:59.000 We're going to hound you and harass you until you do what we want because you said something 10 years ago we uncovered on Twitter.

00:30:03.000 Making the world a better place, one Twitter mobbing at a time.

00:30:06.000 Really, really well done.

00:30:08.000 The Huffington Post mirrors this message today.

00:30:10.000 They have a piece by Emily Peck called The Me Too Style Reckoning for Racism Has Begun.

00:30:15.000 Well...

00:30:16.000 If you are going to say that the MeToo-style reckoning for racism has begun, remember how MeToo ended.

00:30:20.000 Again, with a whimper.

00:30:21.000 When it turns out that nobody on the left wanted to be held accountable for accusations of sexual harassment.

00:30:27.000 As long as you're on the left, you were let off scot-free and eventually the American people said, you know what?

00:30:30.000 Forget it.

00:30:31.000 You're gonna have to show actual evidence of people acting in evil ways to women. 0.99

00:30:36.000 And we're just not gonna go along with the basic premise that anyone who has ever sinned must be destroyed by the mob.

00:30:43.000 I mean, this is Salem witch trial kind of stuff that is happening right now.

00:30:46.000 I'm going to give you some examples.

00:30:48.000 Because this is the way that it works.

00:30:49.000 You said something that was racially incentive.

00:30:51.000 Are you a racist or are you not? 1.00

00:30:52.000 Well, if you're a witch, then you'll sink. 1.00

00:30:55.000 If you're a witch, then you'll float. 1.00

00:30:57.000 So either you sink by apologizing, in which case you're not a witch, but you're dead, or you float because you are a witch, in which case we burn you. 1.00

00:31:05.000 That is the way that the Twitter mob is working these days. 0.98

00:31:09.000 I'm going to give you a bunch of examples because the culture cannot withstand this.

00:31:13.000 The culture simply cannot withstand this.

00:31:16.000 We will break down into two separate cultural camps, and that is what's going to happen. 0.97

00:31:20.000 Because when you remove every TV show that portrays cops decently, when you remove Gone with the Wind from HBO Max, When you decide that you are going to have every arts director fired who has ever been nice to the police, when you have decided that every editorial page editor who has ever said something you don't like, that is not even racist, just stuff you don't like, has to be quote-unquote racismed out of office, Then all you're going to do is just set up an alternative currency, and that's what's going to happen in the United States.

00:31:47.000 It's gonna make the world worse.

00:31:48.000 We should be unified.

00:31:49.000 This is the most unifying moment ever.

00:31:50.000 Everyone hates police brutality.

00:31:51.000 Everyone hates racism.

00:31:52.000 But there's a whole side of the political aisle that cannot get done what it wants to get done unless it castigates at least half the country as systemically and brutally racist.

00:31:59.000 If you want to tear down the system, it does not serve your interests to mention that America is actually a wonderful country that has fought against racism, particularly over the last 50 years, and that the vast majority of Americans do care about black lives and do care about police brutality.

00:32:13.000 If you mention that, it cuts against your actual agenda, which is to destroy all the institutions of the country.

00:32:18.000 So instead, we're going to call out every instance and magnify every instance and pretend that that is indicative of broader American racism, Every singular instance of white-on-black racism is going to be called out.

00:32:29.000 Meanwhile, we are going to ignore every aspect of decision-making that results in inequality rather than inequity.

00:32:37.000 That's the goal here.

00:32:39.000 Because the goal in the end is not to make lives better for anybody.

00:32:41.000 The goal is simply to tear down the system and build something magical and new and utopian in its wake.

00:32:46.000 We're gonna get to more of this in one second.

00:32:48.000 First is the teardown phase of this particular project.

00:32:50.000 You gotta tear down the rotten old infrastructure in order to build something new.

00:32:53.000 And the teardown phase is exceedingly ugly because guess what?

00:32:56.000 You're tearing down a healthy body politic and you're replacing it with nothing good.

00:33:00.000 We're gonna get to that in one second.

00:33:02.000 Let's talk about a great gift you can get for dad this Father's Day.

00:33:04.000 So I'm a watch guy.

00:33:05.000 I love watches.

00:33:06.000 I love watches.

00:33:07.000 And that means I own some fairly expensive watches.

00:33:10.000 It also means that I own some watches that are less expensive.

00:33:12.000 Well, if you can't afford to go out and get your dad a Rolex for Father's Day, but you want to get him something that runs beautifully and looks spectacular and looks way above its price point, go out and get your dad a Vincero.

00:33:22.000 One of my favorite sponsors is Vincero watches.

00:33:24.000 It's a watch I love to wear, and they're having an early Father's Day sale.

00:33:36.000 There's no better gift for a father, husband, grandfather, you name it, than giving them the gift of time with a Vincero watch.

00:33:40.000 I've given them to both my parents actually, for my mom and my dad.

00:33:43.000 My wife wears a Vincero.

00:34:35.000 All right, we're gonna get to the cancellation of all the things, and the bullying of all the corporations, and the assumption by every area of American life that you must bow the knee, or they will come after you next.

00:34:45.000 Which, by the way, is no guarantee.

00:34:46.000 Just as if somebody is blackmailing you.

00:34:48.000 You see this in every movie.

00:34:49.000 Someone blackmails somebody with a piece of information.

00:34:50.000 They say, how do I know you won't release it later?

00:34:52.000 They say, you don't.

00:34:54.000 Correct.

00:34:55.000 Correct!

00:34:55.000 Okay, all this is going to be held over the heads of the American people consistently.

00:34:59.000 We're going to get to more of this in just one second.

00:35:01.000 This year has been an unbelievably up and down, frankly awful year, but incredibly busy news, stuff that you need to keep track of.

00:35:08.000 And the media are lying to you on a routine basis, like all the time, which is why so many Americans think things like the police are systemically racist and mistreating black people on a vast scale and endangering their lives.

00:35:17.000 That's because the media lie to you all the time.

00:35:19.000 When you can't get the real story, you have to go outside the narrative and actually get the hard facts.

00:36:10.000 Also, as I've been mentioning, I have a book coming out July 21st.

00:36:14.000 It's actually really important.

00:36:15.000 It's a very important book.

00:36:16.000 I rarely pitch my own work this way.

00:36:18.000 I think it's an incredibly important book.

00:36:20.000 I wrote it back in December and January when it felt like the country was starting to come apart at the seams.

00:36:25.000 The pandemic hit and I was like, well, maybe it's not relevant anymore because it seems like we're all on the same page.

00:36:29.000 Obviously not.

00:36:30.000 The book is what is happening right now.

00:36:32.000 The book is about the attempt by so many people in the media, in academia, in the political sphere, and many of your neighbors to divide us along racial and class lines, to destroy America's common philosophy that says that all men are created equal.

00:36:48.000 Under the law.

00:36:49.000 And to destroy our common heritage rights.

00:36:52.000 Because those rights are apparently racist if you express yourself in a way they don't like.

00:36:55.000 And apparently the right to free speech must be curbed.

00:36:57.000 The right to free assembly must be curbed unless you are protesting for the right things.

00:37:01.000 They're trying to cut down our common history and suggest that we don't have a common history.

00:37:04.000 The history of America is just exploitation and evil. 0.62

00:37:07.000 They're doing all this to disunify the country and militarize groups against one another.

00:37:11.000 It's destroying the country.

00:37:12.000 My book isn't just about a description of this.

00:37:13.000 It's about why it's wrong, how you rebut the arguments.

00:37:16.000 It's how to destroy America in three easy steps.

00:37:19.000 How to destroy America in three easy steps.

00:37:20.000 You're watching it happen right now.

00:37:22.000 And really, in the end, my book is about how to save America by rebutting those arguments and fighting back against this particularly ugly narrative.

00:37:28.000 How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.

00:37:29.000 It comes out July 21st.

00:37:30.000 You should pre-order it right now.

00:37:32.000 And go check it out right now at Amazon.com or anywhere else you get books.

00:37:35.000 books, you're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:37:38.000 So all the things are canceled. 0.97

00:37:47.000 As I mentioned, if you're a person who is starting at Yale, and when you were 15, you put up a racially ignorant post, then we'll tear you down.

00:37:53.000 If you're LeBron James, by the way, and last year you put up a fully anti-Semitic post, then you're fine. 0.83

00:37:57.000 But if you're a Yale University freshman, Yale University will then reconsider whether they should admit you to the university.

00:38:03.000 Remember, they did the same thing to Kyle Kashuv.

00:38:05.000 When it came out that in private text, he used the N-word when he was 16 years old.

00:38:08.000 And so his admission to Harvard University was rescinded.

00:38:11.000 And he was outed, of course, because he had the wrong politics on gun control.

00:38:16.000 And we've seen everything is now cancelled.

00:38:18.000 All the things are cancelled.

00:38:18.000 So, for example, we now know that all entertainment with cops is going to be cancelled, which is really exciting stuff.

00:38:24.000 According to Deadline Hollywood, Cops has now been cancelled by Paramount Network.

00:38:27.000 By the way, the first show to actually focus in on body cam footage.

00:38:30.000 Cops, if you like body cams and you like to know what the cops are doing, Cops is that show.

00:38:35.000 Cops is a body cam show.

00:38:37.000 And by the way, I understand that the media only want to cover it when the cops do something wrong.

00:38:40.000 There are 375 million interactions between the cops and citizens in the United States every year.

00:38:46.000 You don't hear about nearly any of them.

00:38:48.000 Why?

00:38:49.000 Because most of them are the cops doing their job and doing it properly. 1.00

00:38:51.000 That doesn't mean that there aren't bad and stupid cops. 1.00

00:38:54.000 It doesn't mean there aren't racist cops. 1.00

00:38:55.000 But to say that you cannot air entertainment that puts you on the same side as law enforcement is patently insane and makes the world a worse place.

00:39:02.000 Because if now you are suggesting that, like, what do you think the consequences of this are?

00:39:05.000 When you say that the cops are systemically racist and they are targeting black Americans, Now you're a black American and you get pulled over by the cops. 0.97

00:39:12.000 Your immediate suspicion is the reason that you are being pulled over is not because you were speeding, or not because there is a reasonable suspicion, but because the cops hate black people. 0.91

00:39:19.000 Might that change your attitude on how you deal with the police?

00:39:22.000 Might that mean that a lot more 17-year-olds who are pulled over by the police act in ways that are likely to endanger them and would endanger anyone if anybody acted that way?

00:39:30.000 If you want to foster better relations between the police and communities of color, then perhaps you actually might want to exacerbate the message that the police care about them, that the police want to help people.

00:39:39.000 Instead, we're going to pull down all entertainment that suggests that cops are good.

00:39:43.000 So Deadline Hollywood, Deadline.com reports that Cops' six-year run on Paramount Network has come to an end.

00:39:48.000 It was pulled last week in the aftermath of George Floyd's death.

00:39:51.000 A Paramount Network spokesperson said, Cops is not on the Paramount Network.

00:39:54.000 We don't have any current or future plans for it to return.

00:39:57.000 The long-running Cops premiered on Fox in 1989, aired for 25 seasons.

00:40:00.000 By the way, note, I wrote a book called Primetime Propaganda.

00:40:03.000 I interviewed the guy who created Cops.

00:40:04.000 You know what he told me?

00:40:05.000 He told me that when they selected footage for Cops, they deliberately went out of their way to under-sample suspects who were black and Hispanic.

00:40:13.000 He told me this openly.

00:40:14.000 I have it on tape. 0.84

00:40:16.000 He suggested that they went directly to the footage, and then they oversampled white suspects because they did not want to forward the perception that too many black and Hispanic people were committing crimes.

00:40:26.000 That's the show that just got pulled down from Paramount Network.

00:40:29.000 Meanwhile, A&E pulled last weekend's episodes of its hit docuseries, Live PD, because obviously, if you cover the police in any good way, that's really bad.

00:40:38.000 It must be pulled down.

00:40:39.000 HBO Max, meanwhile, pulled down one of the great movies of all time, Gone with the Wind.

00:40:44.000 Gone with the Wind won all the Oscars.

00:40:45.000 It was the highest grossing film of all time when it came out.

00:40:48.000 It is, of course, a classic.

00:40:50.000 It also resulted in the first Academy Award win by a black woman, Hattie McDaniel.

00:40:55.000 Hattie McDaniel gave us... By the way, today is her birthday in 1893.

00:40:59.000 She's been wiped away from history.

00:41:01.000 She no longer matters.

00:41:02.000 Because after all, we gotta get rid of Gone with the Wind because it pushes images about slavery that we don't like today.

00:41:08.000 So instead of just watching the movie and saying, this is inaccurate about slavery and it romanticizes slavery and that's bad, but the movie also has something to say about resilience in the face of pain from people like Hattie McDaniels and resilience in the face of pain from the other characters in the story.

00:41:21.000 Instead of doing that, we're just going to pull it down.

00:41:23.000 We have to erase history.

00:41:24.000 We're going to Stalinize history. 0.88

00:41:25.000 The guy who's standing next to Stalin on the bridge just disappeared.

00:41:27.000 He's gone.

00:41:28.000 He never happened.

00:41:29.000 So Gone with the Wind has been disappeared into the memory hole.

00:41:31.000 So has Hattie McDaniels, who in 1939 talked about what a historic moment it was that she won an Academy Award.

00:41:39.000 Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science.

00:41:42.000 Fellow members of the motion picture industry and honored guests.

00:41:45.000 This is one of the happiest moments of my life.

00:41:48.000 And I want to thank each one of you who had a part in selecting me for one of the awards.

00:41:53.000 For your kindness, it has made me feel very, very humble.

00:41:57.000 And I shall always hold it as a beacon for anything that I may be able to do in the future.

00:42:03.000 I sincerely hope I shall always be a credit to my race and to the motion picture industry.

00:42:09.000 My heart is too full to tell you just how I feel.

00:42:12.000 And may I say thank you and God bless you.

00:42:16.000 Obviously, that's very bad.

00:42:17.000 We can't have any of that.

00:42:18.000 None of that.

00:42:19.000 Let's pull down Gone With the Wind.

00:42:20.000 HBO Max said that Gone With the Wind is, quote, a product of its time and depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society.

00:42:27.000 Yes, and?

00:42:29.000 It turns out that everything is a product of its time.

00:42:31.000 All the things are products of their time.

00:42:33.000 That is a truth.

00:42:34.000 Okay, and you can discuss those things.

00:42:36.000 That's okay.

00:42:37.000 You pulled down the movie entirely?

00:42:40.000 You pulled down the movie entirely?

00:42:42.000 And by the way, are we going to discuss Movies like Spike Lee's movies that very often depict Jewish people in the worst possible light as a product of their time?

00:42:51.000 No, we can't do that.

00:42:53.000 Because Spike Lee's a good guy, right?

00:42:54.000 That's the way that this works.

00:42:56.000 Meanwhile, Gerald Baker, who is a Wall Street Journal editor, he has now been moved to the Opinion Department.

00:43:04.000 He was an editor-at-large, now he's been moved to the Opinion Department.

00:43:06.000 Why?

00:43:06.000 Because staff members of the Wall Street Journal sent a letter to newsroom leaders on Monday accusing the paper's former editor-in-chief, Gerard Baker, who's been an editor-at-large since 2018, of violating rules that apply to those who work on the news side.

00:43:18.000 The letter from the Board of the Independent Association of Publishers' Employees, the union that represents journal staff members, according to the New York Times, criticized a column by Mr. Baker on race and accused him of tweeting in a way that went against the paper's social media policy.

00:43:30.000 What did he do wrong?

00:43:31.000 Well, he wrote a column over the weekend, it was a good column, in which he talked about the fact that people distort the reality of hate crime in America.

00:43:39.000 He described the murder of Ahmad Arbery, the black man shot while jogging in Georgia after being pursued by white men, And he made the argument that black people commit more hate crimes than white people, according to the IAPA.

00:43:51.000 Well, no, he actually didn't. 0.98

00:43:52.000 He actually, he pointed out that black Americans kill more white Americans on a percentage basis than white Americans kill black Americans. 0.99

00:43:58.000 By the way, it is not close. 0.99

00:43:59.000 It is not a close statistic. 0.99

00:44:00.000 If you're talking about cross-racial killings, black Americans, if you adjust for population, kill far more, I think on an absolute basis too, kill far more white Americans than white Americans kill black Americans. 0.99

00:44:09.000 That's just a simple fact. 0.99

00:44:11.000 He didn't make the case that those were all hate crimes, by the way.

00:44:14.000 But then they're very angry at his column, so he has to be moved.

00:44:18.000 That's the way all of this works.

00:44:20.000 By the way, it now turns out that how bad is the purge?

00:44:23.000 The purge is so bad that if your wife posts something on social media, you will lose your job.

00:44:28.000 Your wife.

00:44:30.000 NBC News reporting, the L.A.

00:44:31.000 Galaxy said it has released Serbian soccer star Aleksandar Kataj on Friday after his wife, T. Kataj, shared a series of racist and violent social media posts in response to the George Floyd protests occurring around the country.

00:44:42.000 The Major League Soccer Club met with Katai on Thursday after it was made aware of two of his wife's Instagram posts she shared the day before.

00:44:48.000 After fans protested outside the LA Galaxy Stadium, the club announced in a one-sentence statement it would drop Katai from its roster.

00:44:54.000 His wife posted a thing and he lost his job.

00:44:58.000 By the way, the thing she posted is yucky and it's violent.

00:45:01.000 It's not actually racist. 0.92

00:45:03.000 If you actually look at what she posted, she posted stuff, again, that is yucky and violent, and she was labeling protestors things, like she said, disgusting cattle about protestors. 0.93

00:45:13.000 That doesn't mean that all the protestors are black. 0.95

00:45:14.000 They're not.

00:45:15.000 A huge percentage of the protestors are white.

00:45:17.000 Should she say anything like that?

00:45:18.000 Of course not.

00:45:18.000 It's gross.

00:45:19.000 She should apologize.

00:45:20.000 Should her husband lose his job?

00:45:22.000 Should her husband lose his job?

00:45:24.000 Her husband?

00:45:26.000 We are now coming for the extended family of people who post bad things on social media.

00:45:29.000 That's the way this is going to work?

00:45:32.000 It's just amazing.

00:45:32.000 Meanwhile, good news, guys.

00:45:34.000 Science has shut down.

00:45:35.000 So STEM is now the STEM field.

00:45:38.000 So that would be the science, technology, engineering, math.

00:45:42.000 We are going to shut down the STEM fields.

00:45:45.000 And Nature Magazine, which is the leading, the leading magazine in science, they say, Nature will be joining.

00:45:51.000 Shut down STEM.

00:45:52.000 Shut down academia. 0.97

00:45:53.000 Hashtag strike for black lives. 1.00

00:45:54.000 We'll be educating ourselves and defining actions we can take to help eradicate anti-black racism in academia and STEM. 0.59

00:46:00.000 Shut down STEM.

00:46:00.000 Please join us.

00:46:01.000 Okay, here's where we get into the actual results of the bullying.

00:46:04.000 And that is, you will repent.

00:46:05.000 You will atone.

00:46:07.000 You will bend the knee.

00:46:08.000 You will assume that you are a part of the problem, even if there's no evidence that you're a part of the problem.

00:46:11.000 You know how many affirmative action programs exist in STEM fields all around the United States, seeking desperately black employees to join? 0.51

00:46:18.000 There's a lack of applicants.

00:46:20.000 This is true.

00:46:20.000 Go to every major university and ask them if there are enough applicants who are qualified, and the answer is no.

00:46:26.000 Do you really think that engineering programs are deliberately saying to black people you cannot enter this engineering program?

00:46:31.000 In fact, one of the big problems when it comes to the earnings potential for black college graduates versus white college graduates is how many people go into these so-called soft studies, the liberal arts, as opposed to going into majors that are likely to earn you a lot of money.

00:46:45.000 But STEM is shutting down and nature is promoting this nonsense.

00:46:48.000 Black academic and black STEM professionals are hurting because they exist in and are attacked by institutional and systemic racism.

00:46:54.000 These are scientists.

00:46:54.000 How about some stats?

00:46:56.000 Like seriously, how about some stats?

00:46:57.000 Instead, it's just a bunch of argle-bargle.

00:46:59.000 It's a bunch of vague social justice argle-bargle. 0.87

00:47:03.000 Black people, this is according to Shut Down STEM. 1.00

00:47:04.000 Black people have been tirelessly working for change alongside their indigenous and people of color allies.

00:47:09.000 For Black academics and STEM professionals, Shut Down Academia and Shut Down STEM is a time to prioritize their needs, whether that is to rest, reflect, or to act, without incurring additional cumulative disadvantage.

00:47:19.000 Ah, cumulative disadvantage.

00:47:21.000 That's what's been happening here.

00:47:23.000 I love this.

00:47:24.000 They also acknowledge, they say, Shut Down STEM is aimed at the broad research community who's not directly participating in ending COVID-19.

00:47:29.000 So if you're doing COVID-19, then you don't have to shut it down.

00:47:32.000 But make no mistake, the scientific community is now engaging in a religious sabbath.

00:47:38.000 Because the religion of wokeism is more important.

00:47:40.000 Like, okay, I understand the religion needs a sabbath.

00:47:42.000 Every religion needs a sabbath.

00:47:43.000 That's exciting stuff.

00:47:45.000 By the way, arts groups are being shut down as well, according to the New York Times.

00:47:48.000 After the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri allowed the police to use its property to stage a response to a protest over George Floyd's death, its director asked the police to gather elsewhere and issued a public apology.

00:47:59.000 Because they allowed the police to stage a response to a protest over Floyd's death.

00:48:04.000 When the Getty Museum was criticized for putting out a vague social media post calling for equity and fairness that failed to mention Floyd, its chief executive pledged to do better.

00:48:12.000 The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art had to issue language of contrition.

00:48:17.000 We can do better.

00:48:19.000 After first posting an Instagram post from an artist named Glenn Ligon who is black.

00:48:28.000 So arts organizations are now being held to the fire.

00:48:31.000 Arts organizations, can you think of more liberal people than arts organizations across the United States?

00:48:36.000 They do not exist.

00:48:38.000 In New York, Off-Broadway and Brooklyn theaters, as well as the Brooklyn Museum and MoMA, have offered restroom access to protesters.

00:48:43.000 Theaters in cities like Oakland, California, Austin, and Washington have done the same.

00:48:46.000 The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture created an online portal for discussion about race.

00:48:51.000 The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis announced it would no longer contract the services of the local PD for events until the law enforcement agency, quote, implements meaningful change. 0.99

00:49:00.000 How stupid has all of this become? 0.99

00:49:02.000 It's become so stupid that Gushers, The Candy, Put out a statement about social justice and racial justice in the United States. 1.00

00:49:09.000 Because you don't want to be the last person, you don't want to be the first person to sit down when Stalin is speaking. 0.99

00:49:15.000 Famous story from Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn.

00:49:19.000 And my friend Matt Walsh, colleague over at Daily Wire, has cited.

00:49:22.000 Very, very famous story in which there was a group of Soviet citizens who were present at a Stalin speech.

00:49:30.000 And after he stopped speaking, everybody stood and applauded.

00:49:32.000 And then they all looked around and realized, I can't be the first person to sit down for this.

00:49:36.000 It's a standing ovation.

00:49:37.000 I can't be the first person to sit down.

00:49:39.000 And this thing went on for minutes and minutes and minutes and minutes.

00:49:42.000 And then finally somebody sat down.

00:49:44.000 And then once somebody sat down, everybody sat down.

00:49:46.000 And the first person who sat down was arrested and sent to the gulag.

00:49:50.000 That's the way this works.

00:49:50.000 So now all corporations will be gulag if you are the first person to sit down during the Maoist struggle sessions.

00:49:57.000 So Gushers has to issue a statement. 0.79

00:49:59.000 Until Gushers and Fruit by the Foot issued a statement about white supremacy, I was really under the impression that this corn syrup based snack for children, I was really under the impression that they were very much in favor of the murder of black men until Gushers put out a statement.

00:50:13.000 They put out a statement saying Gushers wouldn't be Gushers without the black community and your voices.

00:50:17.000 We're working with Fruit By The Foot on creating space to amplify that.

00:50:19.000 We see you.

00:50:20.000 We stand with you.

00:50:21.000 They say we are devastated by the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rahmat Arbery and countless others who have been killed.

00:50:28.000 We stand with those fighting for justice.

00:50:30.000 It's important that our actions match our words.

00:50:31.000 More to come.

00:50:32.000 We'll have a long way to go in the fight against racism for systemic change.

00:50:35.000 Slow clap for Gushers.

00:50:36.000 Slow clap for Gushers.

00:50:38.000 Five seconds ago, the entire social justice warrior movement was laughing at Madonna for putting up a tape of her son dancing to Michael Jackson.

00:50:45.000 And now, the way that this works is that everyone is expected to dance to Michael Jackson, to Virtue Signal, to everybody, how they feel about all of this stuff.

00:50:54.000 And if you are the first person to sit down, you will pay the price.

00:50:57.000 You will pay the price.

00:51:00.000 If you think, by the way, that any of this is likely to achieve anything like a lasting change, the answer is no.

00:51:05.000 It's likely to achieve a really negative, bad, divisive backlash.

00:51:10.000 Which will be bad, because again, we should all be unified on this stuff.

00:51:12.000 This is not hard stuff.

00:51:14.000 Meanwhile, there are real-world ramifications for all of this stuff.

00:51:18.000 There are real-world ramifications to the virtue signaling.

00:51:20.000 Namely, that when the virtue signaling becomes material, and you decide to turn the virtue signaling into attacking the police, then the police walk away.

00:51:28.000 So that's what's been going on right now.

00:51:29.000 So the Democratic Party and the media have decided that the real bad guys here are the cops.

00:51:35.000 The real bad guys are the cops, who have stood between American citizens and property destruction and violence and death and the communities that most need more policing are communities that experience high crime.

00:51:46.000 Simple fact of the matter.

00:51:48.000 I think it is hilarious to watch as the media try to treat Camden, New Jersey as an example of a city that did away with its police department and has succeeded.

00:51:56.000 They did away with their local PD.

00:51:57.000 They substituted the county PD.

00:51:59.000 They doubled the number of officers and they made the police force less racially diverse.

00:52:04.000 They made it less reflective of the community.

00:52:06.000 You want to know why crime went down in Camden?

00:52:08.000 Because they took the police force from 250 to 411.

00:52:11.000 That's why the crime went down in Camden.

00:52:12.000 So don't tell me you defunded the police when all you did was actually double the size of the police force.

00:52:17.000 But this is what Democrats are trying to do.

00:52:19.000 So they want to have it both ways.

00:52:20.000 It's really funny to watch.

00:52:21.000 They've been saying things like, defund the police, defund the police.

00:52:23.000 And then when they're asked about it, they go, we don't mean defund the police, guys.

00:52:26.000 I mean, what we obviously mean is more funding for mental health services.

00:52:29.000 Okay, so why are you saying defund the police?

00:52:31.000 And the answer is you're saying defund the police because what you actually want is for the radicals to believe that you're on their side.

00:52:39.000 And at the same time, you don't want to do anything that actually is going to undermine safety in your city. 1.00

00:52:42.000 So you're a bunch of damned hypocrites. 0.99

00:52:44.000 By the way, you see this most clearly in Los Angeles, where LA City Council President Nury Martinez was filing a motion seeking a $150 million cut from the LAPD budget. 1.00

00:52:54.000 Meanwhile, she had an LAPD unit standing watch outside her home, providing her family with a private security detail since April, paid for by taxpayers.

00:53:01.000 So in other words, defund the police, but not the ones outside my house, guys.

00:53:04.000 I need the ones outside my house.

00:53:06.000 All the same people shouting, defund the police in the streets?

00:53:09.000 Those are the same people who are calling the cops the minute that there is a crime committed against them.

00:53:14.000 Detective Jamie McBride, who serves as director of the LA Police Protective League, he said, it's kind of ironic.

00:53:19.000 Here she is demanding $150 million be reallocated from the police budget, but she has security at her house by the LAPD.

00:53:26.000 This is absurd.

00:53:27.000 McBride says, we're taking one unit away from the equation.

00:53:29.000 If a citizen calls 911, there are less units on the streets to respond to that 911 call.

00:53:33.000 The minute that she was asked about this, by the way, the police detail went away.

00:53:37.000 Now, meanwhile, you have the gaslighting, right?

00:53:38.000 It's all the police.

00:53:39.000 The police are the bad guys.

00:53:40.000 So the predictable after effect, if you're making the case that all Americans are systemically racist and that the police are the bleeding edge of America's systemic racism, then you have to say the police are the bad guys.

00:53:50.000 Now, here's the problem.

00:53:51.000 If you say the police are the bad guys, you know what they're going to do?

00:53:52.000 They're going to leave.

00:53:53.000 So all the politicians are signaling this. 1.00

00:53:55.000 You got Bill de Blasio, who is just a derivative idiot. 1.00

00:53:58.000 I say he's derivative because he doesn't have even his own bad ideas. 1.00

00:54:00.000 He steals other people's bad ideas, and then he decides he's going to magnify them. 1.00

00:54:04.000 So yesterday, Bill de Blasio, idiot, communist, Groundhog murderer. 1.00

00:54:08.000 Giant weird man. 1.00

00:54:09.000 He announced that New York City would paint Black Lives Matter on all of its intersections.

00:54:13.000 Because you know what?

00:54:13.000 It solved the problem in D.C., didn't it?

00:54:15.000 They painted Black Lives Matter on the street in D.C., Mayor Bowser.

00:54:18.000 All violence in D.C.

00:54:19.000 has been solved, guys.

00:54:20.000 It's really, really exciting stuff.

00:54:22.000 And so he's like, you know what?

00:54:23.000 What if we paint our streets?

00:54:24.000 But we'll do it on like every street.

00:54:25.000 And we'll rename streets.

00:54:27.000 By the way, this worked beautifully in L.A.

00:54:29.000 In L.A., they renamed South Central Los Angeles as a heavily black area.

00:54:33.000 It had significant levels of crime.

00:54:34.000 In the aftermath of the Rodney King riots, And the proposal put on table was to name streets in each borough and to paint the words on the streets of this city.

00:54:40.000 Los Angeles.

00:54:41.000 Boom, all crime solved in South Central Los Angeles, except for renaming things doesn't change anything and painting giant slogans on the street doesn't change anything.

00:54:49.000 Here is Bill de Blasio not changing anything, but virtue signaling for the woke crew.

00:54:52.000 And the proposal put on table was to name streets in each borough and to paint the words on the streets of this city.

00:55:02.000 In each borough at a crucial location, one of which will be here near City Hall.

00:55:09.000 But what will be clear the street name and on the streets of our city is that message that now this city must fully, fully, deeply feel and this nation must as well that black lives matter. - And the best way to message that is by painting that on the streets.

00:55:25.000 Wow, just amazing.

00:55:27.000 I remember when Seattle solved all of its problems by painting rainbow flags on the streets.

00:55:31.000 Also, an amazing display of tolerance and diversity that fixed all the problems.

00:55:36.000 Just paint.

00:55:37.000 Paint can do magic.

00:55:38.000 Paint is magical.

00:55:39.000 Who knew?

00:55:39.000 Kneeling solves COVID, and paint solves racism.

00:55:42.000 Well done, everybody.

00:55:43.000 Meanwhile, James Clyburn, Democrat from South Carolina, he suggested that the only violence he's been seeing is from police officers, which is...

00:55:51.000 Controversial, to say the least.

00:55:53.000 I mean, last night in Seattle, Antifa protesters literally broke into the mayor's office.

00:55:58.000 Jenny Durkin?

00:55:59.000 Jenny Durkin is the mayor in Seattle.

00:56:01.000 And Jenny Durkin is a far-left Democrat.

00:56:04.000 And Antifa literally broke into her offices, and then just stood outside demanding that she quit, with Councilwoman Chama Sawant, the Open Socialist, egging it on.

00:56:12.000 Violence did not stop in Portland.

00:56:14.000 It has not stopped in Seattle.

00:56:15.000 In fact, wherever it's tolerated, it has bloomed.

00:56:18.000 But here's James Clyburn suggesting the only violence he's been seeing is from the cops, which is just high-level gaslighting here from James Clyburn.

00:56:25.000 Violence is not our game.

00:56:28.000 That's the president's game.

00:56:30.000 Insulting people.

00:56:32.000 That's not our game.

00:56:34.000 That's the president's game.

00:56:36.000 The only time I saw violence in Washington, D.C.

00:56:39.000 was those horseback riders driving people off the streets.

00:56:43.000 That's when I saw it.

00:56:46.000 That, to me, is his game.

00:56:48.000 That's not our game.

00:56:50.000 And we will not play his game.

00:56:54.000 By the way, there are absolutely credible reports and video of protesters.

00:56:57.000 I think here he's speaking of President Trump clearing that protest or Secret Service clearing that protest.

00:57:03.000 Again, it was a bad optical move, but there's video from that rally, people throwing things at cops and etc, etc.

00:57:08.000 Meanwhile, Kamala Harris, who was a, she's a narc, right?

00:57:10.000 I mean, Kamala Harris was the AG of the state of California, and she was most famous for threatening parents of truants with jail time. 0.96

00:57:19.000 And here she is saying that the police are bad.

00:57:23.000 She says it's outdated to think that more police create more safety, which is belied by every single fact ever discovered, ever.

00:57:30.000 Removing police from a community do not create more safety. 0.88

00:57:32.000 And if you believe they do, it's because you are a liar. 1.00

00:57:35.000 She is a liar. 1.00

00:57:36.000 She's a liar, Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:57:38.000 Maybe vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:57:39.000 Here she is.

00:57:41.000 Absolutely pandering.

00:57:41.000 It's outdated to think more police create more safety.

00:57:43.000 Except that as soon as we removed the police last week, then major cities across America had to be shut down at 6 p.m.

00:57:48.000 and Beverly Hills had to be curfewed at 1 p.m.

00:57:50.000 That's the cops.

00:57:51.000 Here's Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:57:53.000 The status quo has been to determine and create policy around the idea that more police equals more safety.

00:58:01.000 And that's just wrong.

00:58:03.000 You know what creates greater safety?

00:58:04.000 Funding our public schools.

00:58:06.000 It is old thinking, it is outdated, and it is actually wrong and backward to think that more police officers will create more safety.

00:58:17.000 This is insane.

00:58:17.000 It's patently insane.

00:58:19.000 Obviously it's not true.

00:58:20.000 And by the way, you know who knows it's not true?

00:58:21.000 Joe Biden.

00:58:22.000 Who has basically said that he is going to expand police budgets.

00:58:25.000 If you want to quash crime, you need more cops.

00:58:29.000 It's amazing.

00:58:29.000 I mean, I've been amused watching the tweets of people who are saying defund the police.

00:58:32.000 So people are like, okay, so who will respond to the murder calls?

00:58:34.000 People are like, you know what we need?

00:58:35.000 We need more Planned Parenthood clinics. 0.87

00:58:37.000 It's like, well, that's a hell of a statement.

00:58:39.000 That what's going to solve crime is abortion? 0.97

00:58:42.000 That seems kind of eugenic and racist to me.

00:58:45.000 But in any case, this is the lie that is being told.

00:58:48.000 Trevor Noah did the same thing.

00:58:49.000 If you invest in communities, you don't need to invest in the police.

00:58:51.000 Yes, that's clearly what's been missing, is federal investment in low-income communities.

00:58:54.000 We haven't done that for the last 60 years.

00:58:56.000 We haven't invested $5 trillion in welfare programs ranging from federal housing projects to food stamps to unemployment.

00:59:04.000 We haven't done any of that.

00:59:05.000 We haven't spent $5 trillion.

00:59:07.000 To achieve a larger racial wealth gap in the United States than we had in 1965.

00:59:11.000 Clearly, if we just pour money into inner-city communities, they will bloom.

00:59:16.000 Like the deserts of Judea.

00:59:18.000 Or, alternatively, they won't change a damn thing.

00:59:20.000 Because the problem there actually isn't a lack of money.

00:59:23.000 The problem there is a lack of public safety.

00:59:24.000 The problem there is a lack of people being able to graduate high school.

00:59:28.000 The problems run a lot deeper than just toss money at the problem.

00:59:30.000 But here's Trevor Noah saying, you don't need cops if you throw money at people.

00:59:35.000 Los Angeles has announced that they will be taking money away from the LAPD and putting it into programs like education.

00:59:45.000 And please don't get it wrong.

00:59:46.000 This is not a spite thing.

00:59:48.000 I've seen so many conversations where people seem like they're punishing the police.

00:59:51.000 No, studies have shown that when you invest in people, when you invest in communities, you don't need to invest in the police.

01:00:00.000 It makes sense. 0.99

01:00:01.000 Prevention is always better than a cure, especially when the cure kills black people. 1.00

01:00:06.000 Yeah, the cure kills black people? 1.00

01:00:09.000 No, the cure saves black people. 1.00

01:00:10.000 You know how many black lives were saved in New York City over baseline by broken windows policing?

01:00:16.000 Literally thousands of black lives were saved in New York City because of broken windows policing. 0.61

01:00:20.000 The cure is not midnight basketball to crime.

01:00:22.000 That does not solve crime.

01:00:24.000 The cure is not food stamp programs.

01:00:25.000 We've tried all of this.

01:00:26.000 It has failed.

01:00:27.000 The only thing that has ever been shown to lower crime rates ever is additional law enforcement in high crime communities.

01:00:32.000 That's the only thing.

01:00:33.000 Literally, that's all.

01:00:35.000 Now, there are things that we can do to alleviate the burden on law enforcement.

01:00:38.000 We can make it so that mental illness is treated by actual mental illness professionals as opposed to the first call being 911.

01:00:43.000 That's a good thing.

01:00:44.000 I back it.

01:00:45.000 But if the idea is that you remove the cops and suddenly things get safer, I urge Trevor Noah to remove his entire security detail and see if things get better for him personally.

01:00:53.000 I encourage Comedy Central to remove their entire private security detail and see how things go and publicly announce it.

01:01:00.000 Like really, let's see how it goes for you.

01:01:01.000 I encourage all the people who are in favor of gun control and believe that guns make America less safe and that self-defense is not a thing.

01:01:08.000 I encourage them to all put signs on their lawn today saying this is a gun-free home.

01:01:12.000 And see how it goes for you. 1.00

01:01:14.000 It's so stupid. 1.00

01:01:15.000 So New York's police union head, he came out yesterday and in impassioned fashion, he said, you need to stop treating us like racists and thugs. 1.00

01:01:21.000 We're the people who are standing between human beings who are being victimized and their victimizers.

01:01:26.000 And you're treating us like we're the problem?

01:01:28.000 This is the head of the Police Benevolence Association in New York.

01:01:32.000 Stop treating us like animals and thugs and start treating us with some respect.

01:01:38.000 That's what we're here today to say.

01:01:41.000 We've been left out of the conversation.

01:01:44.000 We've been vilified. 0.87

01:01:47.000 It's disgusting. 0.95

01:01:49.000 It's disgusting. 0.97

01:01:52.000 Trying to make us embarrassed of our profession.

01:01:56.000 375 million interactions.

01:01:58.000 Overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly positive.

01:02:03.000 Okay, but he's a bad guy.

01:02:04.000 He's the bad guy.

01:02:06.000 Meanwhile, what is the actual reparative policy that people are pushing? 0.99

01:02:10.000 The reparative policy people are pushing is move the police off the streets, which is going to end with more dead black people. 1.00

01:02:15.000 Because in any area where you have a disproportionate amount of murder, more people will die if you remove the cops. 0.93

01:02:22.000 It is simply that simple.

01:02:22.000 There are real ramifications to all of this social justice warrior posturing and bullcrap.

01:02:27.000 And you're not making the country better by purging people for bad old tweets.

01:02:31.000 And you're certainly not making the country better by forcing corporations to bend the knee in order to virtue signal.

01:02:37.000 All you're doing is driving division in an area where we should all be on the same side.

01:02:40.000 And you're certainly not making the country better by going after the cops and suggesting that anyone who speaks of cops positively is by nature a racist.

01:02:46.000 You ready for a giant exodus of police officers from forces?

01:02:49.000 You ready to make it impossible for anybody to join a police force?

01:02:51.000 Get ready, gang, because reality hits you hard, bro, as a famous man once said.

01:02:56.000 Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with two additional hours of content.

01:02:59.000 Otherwise, we'll see you here tomorrow.
