Vice President Kamala Harris shows up to eulogize Tyree Nichols. The FBI searches Joe Biden's

house, and we examine a line of viral TikTok videos, chiding men for glancing at women at the gym.

0:10.1

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show.

0:17.4

So, there are some crime stories that are national and there are some crime stories that are local.

0:22.3

And the way that we can tell a national crime story from a local crime story is whether it fits the left-wing narrative, or if it even comes close to fitting the left-wing narrative.

0:29.7

So if, for example, you have white cops and those white cops kill a white person, that is not a national news story.

0:36.5

That is just a local news story. And it requires

0:38.8

no national attention. It requires that the media cover it for like a brief second in time and then it

0:43.1

blips out of existence. Certainly no major politicians attend the funeral of the person who was killed.

0:48.5

If, however, you have a story that makes national waves because the left believes that it fits a narrative,

0:53.1

even if it doesn't quite fit the narrative, then it becomes a national news story. And you have major politicians and big political figures arriving from all over the country in order to eulogize the person who was killed, not because they actually care about the person who was killed. They don't know that person from Adam. They don't know that person's parents. They've never heard of that person, but because it fits the narrative. And there is something that is quite gross about this. Truly, because it is, in fact, exploitative. It is exploitative to go to the funeral of a person. You've never met and you've never heard of until one second to go explicitly in order to make a political point about, for example, policing in the United States or the inherent systemic racism of the United States. Well, that's precisely what happened yesterday. Tyree Nichols, a 29-year-old black man who was killed in confrontation with five black police officers. And I say in confrontation, I mean, they literally held him his arms behind his back, and they were clocking him, and it's on video, and those five guys are going to be tried for second-degree murder. They've already been arrested. And well, this didn't fit quite the left-wing

1:47.4

narrative of white-degree murder. They've already been arrested.

2:03.5

And well, this didn't fit quite the left-wing narrative of white-on-black cop on criminal or potential criminal or innocent victim violence. It didn't fit that narrative, but it was close enough. And to the media ran with it. It turned into a whole discussion, as we've discussed, about white supremacy and hence bleed over effects into black police departments

2:01.4

because the Memphis Police Department is 58% black and the head of the police department in Memphis

2:05.5

is black and it's a majority black city. So this means that Tyree Nichols, who again, Kamala Harris

2:11.6

has never met Tyree Nichols. Kamala Harris doesn't know Tyree Nichols. Kamala Harris could have seen Tyree Nichols

2:16.4

on the street, never recognized him or his parents. She arrives at this funeral. When politicians do this sort of stuff,

2:24.6

when they do this sort of stuff, the thing you have to think about is why. So Kamala Harris shows up

2:31.2

at the funeral to eulogize Tyree Nichols. And here's what the vice president of the United States had to say.

2:37.9

We are here to celebrate the life of Tyree Nichols.

2:44.2

Mrs. Wells, Mr. Wells, you have been extraordinary in terms of your strength, your courage, and your grace.

2:56.6

I was as a senator, as the United States Senator, a co-author of the original George Floyd,
