You need. applause . Larry and jennifer lawrenceaddresses gender wage gap in hollywood, since its hollywood it is already being developed into a movery starring chris pratt. Breep bleep i know, lets, camera action, america thrk is the nightly show. Captioning sponsored by Comedy Central larry thank you very much. Thank you. Welcome to the nightly show, please please. Thank you very much. Larry larry, larry. Larry we have such a greatshow. I appreciate every time every time do you that especially when its jennifers birthday. It means so much. It does. Am i right . You guys, you guys remembered me on jennifers birthday. See . Thats why this is my crowd. I am larry wilmore, less get to our show. Last week attorney general Loretta Lynch convened a meeting with dozens of americas top Police Officers, the goal was to figure out why so many cities are seeing a spike in their murder rates. We were asked to join that meeting with attorney general lynch but i had to say we found the invitation a bit confusing. laughter yeah, so yeah, you know what im saying yeah. So instinctively we decided to avoid it. Luckily the Washington Post was in attendance and according to their Reporters Police have an interesting theory as to why murders are on the rise. That theory as the post puts it is quote officers in American Cities have pulled back and have stopped policing as aggressively as they used to fearing that they could be the next person in a uniform featured on a careerending viral video. Larry let me get this straight. So police are worried about being embarrassed in viral videos so they just stop doing their job . I mean seriously ive been on worldstar six times now right . laughter right . That does not mean i request just stop doing my job every day. I apologize to whoever that was and whatever i did. laughter so Nervous Police are calling this problem the youtube effect. And chicago mayor rahm emanuel who also attended lynch a meeting said this. They pull back from the ability to interdict. They dont want to be a news story themselves. Larry so police dont want tobe in the news for fear of embarrassment, okay, i tell you what, lets play a gun game called which news story is worse. All right. This is fun, okay. I will show you two different news stories and by applause i want everyone in the audience to tell me which one is worse. The first one Police Officer embarrassed by viral video. Okay, thats pretty bad okay. Now here is the other one. Unarmed black man gunned down by police. cheers and applause fine, well go with number two, fine. Even though i will grant you Police Officers that every right to be embarrassed. Black people have more of a right to be worried about being killed. And because were afraid of being killed we have just started Recording Police in order to add a level of transparency to their tactics. But now cops are threatened by that. As this former new york detective tells fox news. Youve got a lot of cops out there that still want to do their job but the point is once they do their job, the cell phones come out. If you go to toss somebody to try to get a gun off the street, they are going to be video taping. Larry i mean, if im choking aguy and i start stabbing him you know yeah, im trying to get to the heart yeah. This guy pulls out a camera, i cant do my job im not an actor. I get stage fright, whoa and on top of all that what really makes the youtube effect sound ridiculous is there is not much evidence of increased transparency actually affecting police. According to a Washington Post study from earlier this year the thousands and thousands of Police Shootings that have taken place over the past decade, only 54 policemen have been charged with a crime. I dont know about i youtube effect feels more like a snapchat effect. Man. It does. I will tell you why. Tell you why. Every time black people see the cops do something the evidence of it just seems to disappear. Hence the am name snapchat. The fact that that transparency is how things change. If americans hadnt been able to see the horrors of vietnam on television ef renight, who know obama might still be hitting ho chi minh with drone strikes. So it seeps like what is really scaring these cops isnt youtube but the prospect of big change. So more on this lets go to the sourcement please welcome detective Eric Williams and nick mancuso to the show. Maws plaws. Thank you larry. Larry welcome to the show. Its good to be here. Larry so help me understand. Why does monitoring make your job so much more difficult . How would you like it if you had a camera on you whenever you did your job punk how would you like it . Larry actually, i do have acamera. What is that supposed to mean . What is that spoised to me. Larry, larry, calm down. Larry calm down, larry. Larry look, we have friendshere. Were not trying to fight you. The thing is cops are used to doing things a certain way, okay. The system is for us for a long time. Larry he got nasty with me. But isnt it the public now seeing that this very system is extremely problematic. You think youre smart, dont you, punk . Thats your problem. You think. Larry why is he calling me apunk. Alreadiee, larry, come on, larry. Were not the enemy. Larry im not actingike he. Excuse me partner. He has been a little on edge with the bodycams and the paper work and the gambling. Its a threat to his overreliant style and emotionally complex partnership is at risk. Larry okay, all right. Its [bleep] upped. Larry how does monitoring putyour partnership at risk. I swear to god you better tell this guy im going to cur stomp him rz what is wrong with this guy, why does he keep acting like this. I really need you to turn it down a inch. Larry me . Okay, listen, were your friends here larry. Look, mancuso pends the bends the rules to get result and im by the book, so the brass they leave us alone. Larry i get it, so you guys areike good cop, bad cop. Now we got [bleep] einstein here, look at that. What, you want both of us to go get a perp a stiek during a sprite during interrogation. Cops need a system of good and bad to get the job done. How do we get a we get it without slamming his face on the table. Larry it seems like you areupset because your job will have to have more oversight. Larry look look, i didnt want to do this. But ever since karen died in that jacuzzi fire its okay its okay, its okay its okay buddy. Hes a real powder keg, okay. And i got nine kids larry. And my wife died twice. Larry twice . It may sound corny to a civilian but were family here. We got to stick together. Larry okay, i understand. Ook, i know its tough out there. But can you, can you at least reign it in mancuso a little bit. I think he is part of what is the problem out there. We should be [bleep] out of this guy. Im going to shoot him and slam a gun on him. Well be right back. cheers and applause who says families have to share data .

X1 from xfinity will change the way you experience tv. Larry welcome back. You no i know this is a lot of our viewers but time existed before the nightly show. Apparently a lot of it, so here is a show we ask ourselves the question, how would we have covered the most important events of history had we been on the air. Here is what we decided to do well cover some of them in our new segment called throwback thursday. Okay. Now because the first democratic debate was on tuesday, our inaugural tbt is on one of the most famous debates of all time. Lincoln the, so hop on your hoop skirts and hike up your britches were heading back to 1858. Welcome. Welcome thou to the show. Yeah. I hear its jennifers birthday today. All right. Okay. I predict jennifer is going to live to be 145. laughter . Larry all right. Ets get right to it. It has been a tough seven weeks by mr. Steven douglas and Abraham Lincoln am i saying that right . Lincoln. Sounds like a future statistics carriage of some sort. Lincoln. One that negros might prefer. Lincoln, right . Okay. All right, okay. Well, these two gentlemen have finally held their last debate. Okay. So heres where they stand. One gentleman abhors slavery and the other does not agree. We get it, my stars. Now i have been on these debates like erasers on pencils. What, nothing . Come on, these were just invented a few months ago, people . All right. At nightly i am partial to the republicans. You know what st, there is so much less, what is that new fangled word going around, oh yes, racist. Thats right, yeah. I mean listen mr. Lincoln. Douglas has he declared indifference but i must think covert real deal for the spread of slavery i cannot but hate. I hate it because of the monsterrous injustice of slavery itself. Larry thats my abe yeah see, republicans really speak for the negro. You know negros are never going to leave that party. Never. Its not going to happen. The republicans really have to [bleep] up for them to leave. Okay, but mr. Douglas would not back down. Do you desire to turn the state into a free negro colonnee . A free negro colony. Thats almost as absurd as that main yak charles dar win theory of monkey copulation or whatever it is. I have no idea what that was. Now i will admit i have been quick to jump on the lincoln bandwagon or should i say the lincoln conastoga covered wagon. You have seen this daguerrotype . Its upside down. Oh. I greatly apologize. Larry its all right. As you should cart wrench. Now it is lincoln trying to pass himself off as a member of the donor party. Right, right right . Oh sorry, poor taste. We continue to pray for their safe pass age. But that was before i heard mr. Lincoln say this. I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negros, nor of qualifying them to hold office nor to intermary with white people which i believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. Larry what the [bleep], lynncone . You said were not going to be equal with you in stars, my stars and garters, i would not vote for you. And not just because i lack the legal right to vote. applause but maybe i will some day, one can only dream. We shall return after a short spell. 4 new flavors from vuse. Vibrant berry, cool mint, smooth crema and aromatic chai. Vuse. Unrivalled taste satisfaction. Larry welcome back, my panelnightly show contributor holly walker. Add a very funny comedian and writer, grace parra. And the host of union i vision el gordo y la flaca raul de molina. Join the conversation on twitter. There is this viral sensation going on, i didnt know, but jennifer lawrence, you heard about this. The so called why do i make less than my male costars. She blames herself. She said for wanting to be liked in the negotiations rather than being assert you have. Here is my first can i womb as assertive as a man and not be labeled a bitch . Yes, yes, i think a woman can be as assertive as a man and not be labeled a bitch. She could also be labeled a slut. Yes. You got two options so. No, no, shes not going to win. But you know, she could be named labeled something else. I actually think that we, we cannot avoid that title. And as a result we have to take back the word bitch and wear it like miley wears those little pasties on her nipples and own it, own it. I have think she should i think yes, of course, i will tell you something. I work next to my cohost, a woman. Have i been working with her for 17 years, but it works the other way, she is the one that makes more than me. In the show, she tells everyone that it takes me 11 seconds to make love. Im not kidding about this. And she talks to my wife soaf ree time i go to the airport, i stop by and for raul pie flight is delayed, do you have 11 seconds . I love that. Larry why do you think womenget punished for being a sifort. What do you think is behind that. I think men are afraid of females sexuality. Larry you think that is what itis. I do. I think its a little intimidating. I heard audience members. I think it is intimidating because we are so of the full package and i think men can feel like they can get distracted. Larry you mean sexualityunbrideeled. Oh my gosh. It is all over the place. I think that we get punished because if they dont punish us, were going to start doing crazy things like thinking for ourselves and and wanting to run businesses. I mean. Or the country. Or the country like well get way out of hand. Yeah right . cheers and applause . Larry but its funny how if aman is iffy, is he in charge a woman, whoa calm down. Exactly. Whats wrong. Larry raul, why do you feel sothreatened by women . Only by my wife. She is the one. My executive producer on the show for 17 years is a woman. Her boss a Senior Executive producer after her, is a woman. And the first in charge Senior Vice President was a woman. When i tawblg to them i dont say oh its a man, its a woman. She is a person. So to me it is really the thing. applause . Larry do you think it is aresponsibility of women in charge to like open the doors for other women or to make it easier. Because i remember the thing with jennifer lawrence, they made it clear she just needed to be a better negociater. You know what im saying. Well, yeah amy was in chrg of sonny at the time. I think everybody regardless of gender has a responsibility to speak up for what he it want for sure. But also i love the notion of women who are in control shep hearding younger women men torring younger women, looking out for women in positions to earn more money. A responsibility. Yeah, its all of our responsibilities. Absolutely. Absolutely. Because it not only helps out the women who are coming up, it helps out the men too. It is helping out everyone. So yes, it is our responsibility also to help bring everybody up. cheers and applause . Larry the things she wastalking about struck me. It feels like it is ingrained in the culture, the fact that she was afraid to advocate for herself. It is absolutely ingrained. Absolutely. It starts when we are really young like when i was in the crib, i didnt yell or scream. I was just like i was just like excuse me mom can i have some breast milk . Like it was like ldz and your brother was like give me that titty i think. Exactly exactly. Larry im just interpretingbaby speak. It feels like women are brought up to live these binary lives. We are either or. But men can be multidimensional. Men are allowed to be multifas eted supercomplex. Look at the way men are portrayed in hollywood. All of these amazing characters are written for men, women get like two adjectives, mom titty sucker, thats it. Larry the great thing, writerAlexandra Petri agrees women have to be strategic in how they speak around men. I found this fascinating. So here is what she did. She took some famous quotes and translated them into how a woman sounds in a meeting language okay. So were going to have grace and holly act those out. I will read the clips, this is really fantastic. So the first one is, famous quote, give me liberty or give me death. So in women in a meeting speak holly that would sound like. Dave, if i could, i could just, i i just really feel like, if we had liberty that would be terrific. And the alternative would just be awful, you know. You know what i mean . applause thats just how it strikes me, i dont know i dont know. Larry okay,s that a great. Okay this is for you, grace. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Hi, i have to say, im sorry. I have to say this. I dont think we should be as scared of nonfear things as maybe we are. Does that make sense . I feel like im rambling. laughter . Larry very good. Okay, now for holly, here you go holly. Let my people go. Pharaoh, listen, i to the allly here where you are coming on this, i totally do. And i dont want to butt in if youve come to a decision here. But just, i have to say, would you consider that an argument for maybe releasing these people could conceivably have merit . applause or is that already off the table . Larry very good. And finally, finally for grace, i will be heard. Im sorry to interrupt. You know what, go on dave finish what you had to say. Larry there you go. There you go. Okay. I want to thank Alexandra Petri for those great its from daddy. Sfx dads voice i love you baby girl. Duracell quantum lasts longer in 99 of devices so you can always be there. Hey. Welcome. Wooah thats an egg its hard to prepare for something when youre not ready for it, huh . Absolutely. Want to meet a car that can detect things before you can . Yeah meet the chevy equinox with available forward collision alert. It can help warn you when youre approaching another vehicle too fast so you can take action. I need that. Ford escape doesnt have that. Aw, come on ford. Love this vehicle. Very smart car. This is really nice. Who says families have to share data now get four lines.
