| 0:00.0 | Democrats and the media connects border enforcement to white supremacy. |
| 0:03.8 | Democrats lay out their policy proposals, and Joe Biden flubs it like I just did. |
| 0:08.4 | I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. |
| 0:15.2 | We have a lot to get to this hour. Joe Biden obviously stepping on his own toes. |
| 0:19.7 | Some people are trying to attribute that to racism. |
| 0:22.1 | In all likelihood, it's just because Joe Biden is an underhead. We'll get to all of that in just a |
| 0:26.1 | second. We begin today, however, with the gradually creeping attempt by so many people in the media |
| 0:31.7 | and on the left to define out the borders of white supremacy to contain anything they don't like. |
| 0:36.8 | And this is such a mistake. |
| 0:38.4 | It's such a mistake because, again, white supremacism is a thing, a very dangerous thing. |
| 0:43.2 | The alt-right is a thing. It's a dangerous thing. And it's a terrible thing. And these things |
| 0:47.5 | have specific definitions. White supremacists believe that white people are inherently superior. |
| 0:51.9 | White nationalists believe that white people should be separate from members of other races. All of this cuts against the fundamental bases of Western |
| 0:58.5 | civilization and the American Revolution and the Constitution of the United States. It cuts |
| 1:03.5 | against the idea of a more perfect union in which the rights that were guaranteed by the Declaration |
| 1:07.6 | of Independence are broadened out appropriately to more and more people |
| 1:11.3 | over time as they have been throughout American history, through blood and pain and toil and |
| 1:16.2 | through tears and difficulty and suffering. The ideology of white supremacy is existent, it's evil, |
| 1:22.9 | and it has malignant effects, not just on the body politic more generally, but it has malignant effects |
| 1:28.5 | when it comes to violence that sometimes attends white supremacists, as we saw in this white |
| 1:33.8 | supremacist terror attack in El Paso. But being specific about our definitions allows us to create |
| 1:39.8 | unity. Nearly all divisions in life come from inability to be clear about the terms that we are defining. When you have a fight with your spouse, half the time it's because you're not understanding each other. You're seeing right past each other. You're talking right past each other. The same thing is true in business. When you have business disputes, usually it's because there was lack of clarity at the very beginning. Being clear about the definition of terms is what allows us to be on the same side. It's what I've always said about the left's take on quote-unquote institutional racism. If the left wants to point out a policy that is racist, I will fight it along with them, if the left is going to point to a disparity and then just blame quote-unquote institutional racism, racism that is just out there, miasmatic, hovering out there in the universe, |
