| 0:00.0 | Kimmel, Fallon, Colbert, all of them go after the NRA. |
| 0:03.5 | Americans are not buying what the media is selling, and we're about to hit the DACA deadline. |
| 0:07.3 | So what does that mean for all the illegal immigrant dreamers? |
| 0:09.6 | I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show. |
| 0:15.6 | Oh, we have so many things to get to today. I'm speaking tonight in Omaha. |
| 0:18.9 | We are sold out 1,500 seat theater. I'm doing a full-on exposition on the Second Amendment, what its meaning is, where it comes from, and what it protects tonight. So look for that online, or if you're there in person, I look forward to seeing you there. We have a lot to get to on the show as well. We're going to talk about the security clearance status for Jared Kushner. We're going to talk about the confirmation bias that is now overrun the media. We're going to talk about Dick's sporting goods, supposedly banning their sale of quote-unquote assault weapons, which they actually did five years ago, and now they're just re-upping. But before we get to any of that, I first want to talk a little bit about more facts that are now coming out about the shooting. So every day, there are more facts that are coming out about the shooting. Now, we sort of know what we know at this point until a full investigation is undergone. But here is a fact that should matter to you. When it comes to how Americans feel about what happened in Parkland and who they blame about what happened in Parkland, it is not the NRA. It is not law-abiding gun owners. So Rasmussen |
| 1:12.0 | had a poll yesterday, a new survey, and it suggests, this is after the CNN propaganda |
| 1:17.6 | town hall, the two minutes hate on CNN. Here's what Rasmussen reports. Quote, |
| 1:22.1 | 54% of American adults believe the failure of government agencies to respond to numerous |
| 1:26.7 | warning signs from the prospective killer is more to blame for the mass shooting. |
| 1:30.3 | Only 33% attribute the deaths more to a lack of adequate gun control. |
| 1:34.3 | 11% opt for something else. |
| 1:36.3 | Among Americans who have elementary children, elementary school children or secondary school age children, |
| 1:40.3 | 61% think the government is more to blame. |
| 1:43.3 | Just 23 percent of |
| 1:44.6 | those adults fault a lack of adequate gun control. Forty-one percent of respondents, by the way, |
| 1:50.3 | say that they opt for stricter gun control. 40 percent say more action is needed to treat mental |
| 1:54.3 | health issues. Only 50 percent of Democrats, actually, said that a lack of gun control was the real |
| 1:59.9 | problem here. All of which is to say, |
| 2:02.0 | whenever you see polls, there are some polls out today suggesting that even among Republicans, support for gun control is rising. You need to take all of that with a grain of salt, because that's like asking Americans, as I've said in the past, it's like asking Americans, are you for less government spending? The answer is always yes, but then you say, okay, what do you want to see cut and suddenly Americans run for the hills. Well the same thing is true with regard to gun |
| 2:20.6 | control. you say, okay, what do you want to see cut? And suddenly Americans run for the hills. Well, the same thing is true with regard to gun control. |
| 2:21.2 | People say, are you for more gun control? Most people go, yeah, sounds good. Why not? Keeps bad guns out of the hands of bad people. And then when you say, okay, well, that's going to mean we're have to ban all the rifles. Then all the Americans say, well, no, we're not going to do that. |
