Tomi Lahren: [after introducing her and showing a video clip of her talk show discussing Occupy Wall Street protesters, protestors from Black Lives Matter, and other people protestors protesting President Elect Donald Trump] that pretty much covers it, doesn't it?
Himself - Host: quick question: why are you angry?
Tomi Lahren: I'm actually not that angry, it's just that there's so many things that need to be said and a lot of people are afraid to say them
Himself - Host: you're saying them in an angry way, you can't say you're not angry when this what your known for because it's a strange thing to say, it's like Ellen DeGeneres saying I don't like dancing but it's like yeah you do Ellen. You are angry about everything it seems
Tomi Lahren: sometimes people just need to be called on their bullshit you know?
Himself - Host: when you say bullshit, what in particular?
Tomi Lahren: protesting a fair and free election, that to me you're going to get called out on your bullshit a little bit, it's time to "clear the street", it's time to accept reality, it's time to move on, it's time to make America great again.
Himself - Host: you consider yourself a conservative?
Tomi Lahren: I do
Himself - Host: ok
Tomi Lahren: I mean, I'm a Millennial but I don't like "labels," but yes, I'm a conservative in thought
Himself - Host: [after pausing for a second] sorry my brain just stopped, you just gave yourself a "label," after saying you don't like "labels"
Tomi Lahren: we exist on a spectrum, do you consider yourself a liberal?
Himself - Host: that was just funny that's all
Tomi Lahren: I'm a Millennial, it surprises you?
Himself - Host: in terms of Black Lives Matter, you have quite the record for somebody who is not racist, you have to spend a lot of time saying, "I'm not racist." What is you biggest issue with Black Lives Matter?
Tomi Lahren: I think and I've said this many times, it started with "good intentions," I think it was, it was "well intentioned", the moment they started pushing "hands up, don't shoot," which is a false narrative, proven time and time again to be a false narrative. The minute that became their slogan the minute, the minute protesting turned into rioting, into looting, burning and militant actions, that's when I lost respect for Black Lives Matter.
Himself - Host: ok here's my thing: let's address each of these things one by one by one, when you say protesting turned into rioting that's not a Black Lives Matter phenomenon that's what happens during a protest a lot of the time, there are people who rioted and looted when teams won in Chicago years ago it doesn't mean now they are bad people. That's what happens, there are some bad people in some instance, going back to Black Lives Matter though for you to say that they have "good intentions," how are you "labeling" out the actions of a few and not condemning an entire group?
Tomi Lahren: because they "subscribe" to the Black Lives Matter movement, they say "we are the Black Lives Matter movement," "fry them like bacon, "F the police," their saying these things
Himself - Host: these are a few people? That's not the platform though
Tomi Lahren: I saw it in my city of Dallas. I saw what a Black Lives Matter protest looks like and I saw five fallen officers because of it
Himself - Host: that's not fair...
Tomi Lahren: [interrupts him] no it is because the shooter said point blank his doing this for Black Lives Matter.
Himself - Host: yes, and there are many things you can say but you cannot go out and say the man had mental issues as well and he was in a "tough place," just because you say the things doesn't mean it's what it stands for right? Because you're the same person who argued on your show that just because Donald Trump has supporters from the KKK, it doesn't mean his in the KKK, because his against it. You can't' say "he did it because of
Tomi Lahren: the shooter said "I am..."
