cheers an captioning sponsored by Comedy Central larry thank you very much welcome to the nightly show. What great guests thank you very much audience chanting larry larry they are right. Im larry wilmore. I dont think they know my last name. Larrreeee thank you very much. laughter were still trying to wrap our heads around the horrible event that happened on thursday in oregon. Its tough to talk about, but one of the things thats toughest for americans to talk about is the issue of guns. So, were going to talk about it in a segment were calling, americas conversation about not talking about guns. Okay, step one in not talking about guns is called exhaustment. This step begins by overwhelming us with numbers. This was the 45th School Shooting at an American School this year. It marks 142 similar School Shootings since sandy hook. 294 Mass Shootings this year alone, nearly a thousand since the database was created. 380 people have died in Mass Shootings this year alone. These figures dont include everyday incidents of gun violence which this year have resulted in 10,000 people losing their lives. Larry ooh, thats a lot of numbers. You see, by overwhelming us with numbers, you do two things. First, you make us tired and, second, you make us feel like were about to have the conversation are we going to talk about guns . Thats exciting no, were just talking about. Numbers. Thats exhausting. So, you give us exhaustion and excitement at the same time. Hence the term exhaustment. Step two, the shifteroo. Now, this is a very technical. Term. Its when you mix a shift with a switcheroo. Gun control only works for normal law abiding citizens, not for crazy people. Guns, no guns, doesnt matter. You have people who are mentally ill. Instead of timpgerring with the Second Amendment, i never hear anybody say lets tinker with the first. Larry tinker with the first . Were not alpine toymakers. Were not guys with curly mustaches trying to fix a broken jackinthebox. But did you see how they did that . The shift you stop talking about gun violence and you make it about mental illness. Its not unimportant to talk about mental illness, but its still a shift. Then the switcheroo you swap out the Second Amendment for the first amendment. The shifteroo is bleep brilliant. And were still not having that honest conversation about guns. Now, the third step comes after the president makes his somber plea to america, which, unfortunately, he does all too often. So it feels like were finally going to have the honest conversation. But not so fast here comes number three. The bleep eroo. Thats when haters bleep all over the president for daring to start the conversation. He has not said anything that it would be good if the talked about 6 and a half years of policy in the middle east. Why hasnt he spoken out about chicago . Because theres nothing wrong if when theres a problem, you talk about that bleep problem. A conversation about guns includes guns. A conversation about putin includes putin. You dont have to be a toastmaster to know these rules of conversational engagement. Then comes step four. Horrible suggestions which, incidentally, is the name of my new cologne, available at Spencer Gifts and other fine stores. applause ironically, it was a horrible suggestion that made me name it horrible suggestion. Now, this horrible suggestions tactic works because the stupidity coming out of peoples mouths is so jawdropping that your mouth stays open in horror, thus preventing you from having the conversation. Have former detectives like bo dietl and mark furman on every campus and every school and your schools are going to be safer instead of these gunfree zones. Get rid of these gunfree zones. Gunfree zones are criminal protection areas, and thats what we usually see. audience reacts larry more guns is your answer . agh bah bah head hurts. Just to be clear, theyre saying that in places with fewer guns, the odds of getting shot increase, which i guess is just like how the odds of getting attacked by a shark increase in places with no sharks. That shark was in her living room normally, a sharkfree zone nobody would have seen that coming and had all the people in that house been packing their own sharks, that shark would have gone next door all right applause larry thats what would have happened i know, weve just created a horrible scenario for the neighbors, but were just talking about this sharkfree zone. But the horrible suggestions step doesnt just end with the media. We also have to hear from a president ial hopeful. Its very sad to see, but i resist the notion and i had this challenge as governor, because we had look, stuff happens. audience reacts larry stuff happens, jeb . Im sorry, are you running for president or just looking to set up a tshirt stand at the beach . laughter i dont get it how could you Say Something like that you know what, thats not fair. Stuff happens may have been taken out of context. Lets let him finish. Look, stuff happens. Theres always a crisis, and the impulse is always to do something, and its not necessarily the right thing to do. Larry wow, jeb exclamation point. Im going to say to you what your dads been saying to your brother for years im disappointed in you. applause weve gone through all these steps the exhaustment, the shifteroo, the horrible suggestions our brains are about to explode. And finally, this is how the door on the conversation is shut. By step five too soon. The argument that its disrespectful to talk about how to find solutions so close to a tragedy. Why do we have to talk about this now . It just happened. Its too soon. Cant we just talk about this later . All i know is, if we never have this conversation and we keep thinking its too soon, well stay in a constant state of too late. Well be right back. cheers and applause just might be the one. To clean the oceans, to start a movement, or lead a country. It may not be obvious yet, but one of these kids is going to change the world. We just need to make sure she has what she needs. Welcome to windows 10. The future starts now for all of us. Theres so many details that go into building an asymmetrical surfboard. Designing things for myself at first was really an exciting thing. But watching somebody else ride something ive made. I mean, thats really where its at. There are lots of ways, you know, to refresh the world. But in the end, i just want to give people something they can enjoy. The drought is affecting at pg e weve definitely put a focus on helping our agricultural customers through the drought. When they do an Energy Efficiency project and save that money they feel it right in their pocket book. Its exciting to help a customer with an Energy Efficiency project because not only are they saving energy but they are saving water. We have a lot of projects at pg e that can help them with that and thats extremely important while were in a drought. Its a win for the customer and its a win for california. Together, were building a better california. cheers and applause larry welcome back theres been so much bad stuff in the news lately, i thought i would give you two fun things. Firstly, the paperback version of my book comes out tomorrow. I would rathe id rather we got casinos and other black thoughts. Hahaha just remembering makes me laugh. So, order it wherever books are ordered, in whatever quantities you can possibly afford. And nextly, we had so much fun with senator Bernie Sanders a couple of weeks ago, we thought wed show an encore performance of our soul food sitdown, for those of you who might have missed it. Enjoy. Larry so, bernie, youre surging in the polls now. Youre doing great. Youre on the cover of time magazine. Who would have believed that . Larry exactly. You were just on cbs morning show. Youre on fire, bernie. We might have the first woman president , had the first black president , bill clinton. And the guy wasnt even born in america. Hows that . Larry correct. First kenyon and muslim president. What are the odds of that. Do you think americas ready for the first socialist president . Yes, i do. When we first understand what democratic Socialism Means larry what is democratic socialism . Means learning from countries like denmark, sweden, norway, they have free healthcare and College Education for all their people. Larry is that their way of keeping them in finland . laughter do you think people are afraid of the word socialism . , what, you going to take my deviled egg, is that what you mean. Tastes fantastic. All right, you like how socialism tastes . Larry youre a very interesting candidate. Youre one of a kind. 4uweve neh president that we know of, right . You know what im saying, right . laughter you may be the oldest person to ever become president. What, 74 . Yes. Larry if you became president , god forbid something happens, im not saying it is, would you be comfortable at a weekend at bernie situation to give up the rest of your administration . The good news is i have been blessed with good help. Larry just in case, bernie, could you just put these sunglasses on just in case we have to do the weekend of bernie thing. How hows that . Larry thats awesome. You can keep those. Might need them. laughter thats awesome. Something i wanted to bring up. This is horrible. You were making a speech and people from black lives matter just interrupted you i will be honest with you, i hate it when black people interrupt me laughter so what do you think would be a good way to get back in the field of bern . Well, the issue larry its so horrible. Interrupting people is the rudest thing. Go ahead. Im sorry. My fault. laughter youre going to interrupt me. Larry no, i wont. Its very rude. You larry you may have to do things youre uncomfortable with. Im sorry. Weve got to do everything we can to end institutional racism in this country and more. We also have to deal with real criminal Justice Reform larry by the way, when you make the speech, you could say, look, my plan is for criminal Justice Reform and to help the black community are unfleek. Unfleek. Do you want to try it . Unfleek. Larry im telling you, my plans for criminal Justice Reform are unfleek. All right. Larry wilmore says i should tell you that my plans for criminal Justice Reform are unfleek and that is it. Im on my way now larry your numbers in the black community are surging, already. All right. Larry now the guy making all the noise is donald trump. I dont know if trump is going to run but i have one theory. If you take Everything Else away, do you think what else he has . A hat. Corniest hat ive ever seen. Bernie, i think if you get a hat, i think thats a way to get people to hear your message. Im open to that. Larry heres the thing a lot of problems in america and things people cant agree on. Were in a social restaurant and i think we can agree that blackeyed peas matter. You think thats going to bring us together . Larry im talking about actual blackeyed peas. I wanted to make that clear. All right. Larry feel the bern, everybody cheers and applause thanks, bernie way to keep things on fleek. Well be right back. cheers and applause how do they make starburst taste so juicy .

Twix cheers and applause larry welcome back. Im here with my panel, nightly show contributor, rory albanese, nightly show contributor, mike yard, and host of cnns legal view with ashleigh banfield, ashleigh banfield. cheers and applause and for everyone at home, join our conversation right now on twitter nightly show using the hashtag tonightly. After the shooting in oregon, several journalists and even the local sheriff refused to name the shooter because it would inadvertently glorify his actions. Will keeping the shooters name out of the press actually make a difference . I personally want to know who did these things. This is a doubleedged sword. I get this particular shooter wanted the glory hed been studying in the other shooters. At the same time, the first question we all ask is how did this happen and why, and were not going to figure that out unless we know the who beforehand and dig into the whos background. So i dont appreciate a sheriff who takes it on himself to withhold that information. I think thats up to the media to decide how judiciary to treat it and, in that respect, we were very careful. We gave that information, we did not overgive it. Once and done. Historically speaking, the media hasnt been the best at that. applause no, and thats theres no, like, sheriff of media town and you go ape bleep . When columbine happened we were all getting into the how and why this could have happened in america. And they were minors. We needed to know who the kids were, they were so mind blowing, and how they did it and that drove the bus. Ever since then the learning curve has been happening. You guys went crazy. Whos you guys . The media larry they they do go crazy. You have a lot of people in america who wants to be famous. So i think its good for them to know nobody in america will know who did this. applause larry its hard to tell what motivation there are. He was asking what religion they were and shooting him for being christian. Hes thinking of something cool to make a report. He asked what religion and popped them and then didnt. His religion was crazy, thats what it was. I agree. applause he was looking for someone to say, im crazy every team one of these things happens, the media should associate the negative attribute for the person. Look, one thing for sure, he had a small penis, you know what i mean . People might say, you know what, i dont want that said about me. This guy said he was a virgin. Im like, dude, thats the notoriety you were looking for . Mention his name and then thereafter call him the mother bleep . I will look into that. Larry i think america would excuse you if you said, lets talk about this mother bleep . I feel bad about the live bleep guy. Oh, my god. Larry do you think the public is becoming too numb . Im not sure if numb is the right word. I think its saturated or saturated quickly because the president just said this is routine. I mean, its not a good thing that its routine but its becoming routine for everybody. We know the drill. I hate to say this, when i arrived, media village was set up and robust. A day later you was the last in one location. Larry its like nobody cared anymore. Its not they dont care. Theyre saturated, exhausted, like you said. I think people are just done. You know what i mean . After sandy hook, i thought gun control was going to taken seriously because little white kids got capped and in america anytime something happens to little white kids, its oh bleep . Larry lets be careful, it wasnt just little white kids. If they didnt do anything after sandy hook larry its terrible. Ast week, we were talking about like with racism, were still having to convince people these things are real. You cant even talk about fixing them because we have to convince them theyre problems. That puts you in a difficult position where you say, i just want the stay in my bubble. I thought it amazing when it comes to gun control, the Second Amendment is unassailable to those who support gun rights. But then when you talk about terror, the Fourth Amendment is apparently search and seizure. Im going to listen to your phone calls and ironically, the Fourth Amendment goes into the crosshairs of this thing. Nicely put. Larry thats kind of my job. Whats amazing is everyone thinks that the changes are going to take guns away. Like, you could support the Second Amendment. I support the Second Amendment but that doesnt mean we cant have laws. In other words, its easier to get a gun than a scuba diving license. There is no training, you know. If you go sky diving, you know, they strap you to an instructor, throw you off the plane, maybe they do that with hunting, you go hunting and get strapped to a hunters back. You learn. And then maybe that night around the camp fire you have a cozy night. Larry do you know how debilitating that would be for someone like elmer if yo fudd . laughter youre killing a dear with a giant gun, might as well have a guy on your back make ate little harder laughter im getting a visual. Im really uncomfortable. Well, youre not invited to the hunting trip anymore. laughter larry its even hard to talk about this. Will we ever have this conversation . Who noassments well be right back.
