| 0:00.0 | So I'd like to thank the Academy, my wife, my parents, my agent, and God Almighty for the great honor of being the top journalist's target of Jew hatred in America over the past few months, according to a comprehensive study from the Anti-Defamation League. I'm honored because being targeted by mouth-breathing idiots is a compliment. You know, you're doing something right. If people who tweet pictures of gas chambers on the day of your child's birth find you unacceptable as a human being. Hint, I also find you unacceptable as a human being. |
| 0:23.8 | Here are some quick thoughts. |
| 0:24.9 | First, Twitter should not ban the Jew haters. As the dude who receives hook-nosed Jew memes more than any other journalist on planet Earth, I don't believe people ought to be suspended or banned from Twitter or Facebook for posting vile garbage so long as you're not openly advocating violence. I make a habit of retweeting these pieces of human crap in order to mock their stupidity and to expose the fact that people like this exist. Twitter has every right to ban people because it's a private company, but that doesn't mean they should. And every time they do, they grant credibility to the monstrous people who want to play victim. Second, yes, the alt-right is anti-Semitic. There are a lot of people who consider themselves alt-right because they don't actually understand what the alt-right is. You're not alt-right just because you back Trump. You're not alt-right just because you hate the media. Alt-right means something, and it means ethnocultural European solidarity that has nothing to do with conservatism, the Constitution, or ideals of liberty. To read what the alt-right is, we actually have a great piece over a daily wire that you can check out. By the same token, downplaying the alt-right to anti-Semitism as mischievous and trolling, as some people at sites like the Trump-centric alt-right meeting site Breitbart like to do, that's lying by omission and it provides cover to evil. Third, Jew hatred is not widespread among Trump supporters. So the ADL report links Trump support to Jew hatred on Twitter. There's no question that there's a very small but loud segment of alt-right Trump supporters who tweet gas chamber memes of people, but it's pretty small. The vast majority of Trump supporters find this sort of stuff absolutely reprehensible. They're not in line with the alt-right. I know it. You know it. We all know it. To overestimate their percentage of the population would be wrong and foolish. Fourth, a lot of online Jew-hatred is astro-turfed. The ADL study shows Jew-hatred on Twitter spikes at certain times and cascades on itself. That means it's being coordinated or at least encouraged by specific Twitter personalities. I can say with certainty, the amount of Jew hatred in my Twitter feed has dropped |
| 2:05.3 | exponentially since Twitter banned Milo, which, by the way, is a ban I opposed. Trump does wink, by the way, |
| 2:10.5 | at the alt-right, fifth. As I've said before, Donald Trump may not be an alt-righter, he isn't, |
| 2:15.0 | but he spends an awful lot of time and effort winking at them. The hiring of Steve Bannon as campaign CEO, a guy who turned brightbart.com from an edgy conservative site into an alt-right haven then bragged about it was a shout-out. Trump winking and nodding at Vladimir Putin, it's part of the same pattern. His language about international bankers, it may not be intentional, but the alt-right certainly treated it that way. Finally, the media ignored Jew hatred if it's directed against the right. The ADL has done a really good job of charting the rise of Jew hatred against conservative pundits. But the entire media largely ignored that same Jew hatred so long as it only targeted people like me on the right and only began to notice it when it hit people on the left, like Julia Jaffe. We Jews on the right who opposed Trump were used to it by the point the left figured out about it. Political Magazine just did an entire piece like two weeks ago about anti-Semitism among this segment of Trump supporters and they asked, quote, why has the Jewish right looked away? This is patently insane and it demonstrates the myopia of much of the left. |
| 3:10.5 | The left itself is replete with anti-Semitism and Jew hatred, |
| 3:14.6 | just check their support for the Palestinians and their charter for the Black Lives Matter movement. |
| 3:17.8 | So, what's the future of the alt-right and all the sort of Jew hatred online? |
| 3:19.4 | If Trump wins, it'll probably grow. |
| 3:21.0 | The alt-right feels emboldened by Trump. |
| 4:31.8 | But even if he loses, they'll live on at sites that now rely on their enthusiastic support like Breitbart. A rock has been overturned. The window of acceptability has moved, and it's worthwhile fighting back. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro show. All righty, so glad to be back. I had a two-day break. And now we're back into it. The debate is tonight we'll get to all that. First, we have to say hello to our friends over at Birch Gold. So if you're interested in investing in precious metals, and goodness knows we are in the midst of an unstable time. If you're worried stocks are overvalued, real estate is overvalued. Gold is not a bad haven for your wealth, and you should talk to my friends over a Birch Gold group. If you contact them right now, they give you a free information kit on physical precious metals. It's valued at 2499, but they want to provide listeners to the Ben Shapiro show with that kit at no cost. And if you contact them, ask all your questions, make sure you get all your answers about investing in precious metals, and before you invest. But Birchgold is the best place to do it. They are very solid. They're good folks. And if you want to get the kit, head over to birchgold.com slash Ben. Birchgold.com slash Ben. Make sure you use the slash ben so they know that we sent you. Okay, tons to get to today here on the Ben Shapiro show. We are going to get to the debate stuff, because obviously the big debate is tonight, is it Trump's last chance, or is it beyond Trump's last chance? We'll talk about it. What is his big plan? But we have to start today with these two videos that broke while I was off for Sukkot. Sukkot is the festival of booths. This is the one where we sit outside in these kind of makeshift tents to symbolize how Jews traveled in the wilderness. |
| 4:50.5 | While I was off for a couple of days doing Sukkot, I have a couple more days next week where I'm off, but I'm doing a Friday show this week. So never fear. You'll get your fill. The James O'Keefe, who does a great job with investigative journalism, he broke a video in which |
| 5:04.6 | he showed that there are people who work for the DNC who are involved in promoting voter |
| 5:09.2 | fraud and also involved in promoting violence at Trump rallies. |
| 5:12.8 | Here is a clip from one of O'Keefe's undercover videos. |
| 5:15.6 | This investigation has revealed compelling evidence of a dark money conspiracy, a violation |
| 5:20.3 | of federal campaign |
| 5:21.4 | coordination laws between Hillary Clinton's campaign, Priorities USA, Hillary Super PAC, and the Democratic |
| 5:27.5 | National Committee. |
| 5:29.5 | Priorities is a big part of us too. |
| 5:32.0 | The campaigns and DNC cannot coordinate with priorities, but I guarantee them to you that the people who run the super |
