( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Larry: WELCOME TO "THE
NIGHTLY SHOW."
I'M LARRY WILMORE.
TONIGHT, BIG SHOW TONIGHT.
THANK YOU.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DEVASTATING EVENTS IN BALTIMORE.
LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT.
>> RIGHT NOW THE GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND DECLARES A STATE OF
EMERGENCY, ACTIVATING THE NATIONAL GUARD AFTER BALTIMORE
ERUPTS IN VIOLENCE OVERNIGHT.
A CITYWIDE CURFEW HAS BEEN IMPOSED, SCHOOL CANCELED.
>> Larry: YAY!
SCHOOL CANCELED!
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
BECAUSE NOTHING SAYS PUBLIC SAFETY LIKE 20,000 TEENAGERS
WITH NOTHING TO DO IN THE MIDDLE OF A TUESDAY.
( APPLAUSE ) THAT'S NOT GONNA BE GOOD.
THE NEWS COVERAGE HAS BEEN NONE STOP, AND SOME REPORTERS SEEM TO
BE A LITTLE OUT OF THEIR ELEMENT IN THE CHARM CITY.
>> YOU JUST SAW A HAIR-- YOU KNOW A-- A-- A WEAVE STORE, A
HAIR STORE.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Larry: DON'T WORRY, ANDERSON COOPER.
YOU CAN SAY "WEAVE STORE."
IT'S NOT THE "N" WORD FOR CHRIST'S SAKE
CNN'S PLUCKY KID REPORTER DON LEMON, ON THE OTHER HAND, HE
JUST NEEDS TO STOP TRYING.
EVEN THE GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND AND THE MAYOR OF BALTIMORE
WALKED AWAY WHEN DON TRIED TO SUGGEST THEY WEREN'T HANDLING
THE RIOTS WELL.
>> IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY?
WHEN YOU SAY OUTSIDE AGITATORS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ENFORCE A CURFEW TOMORROW WHEN KIDS ARE
OUT OF SCHOOL?
SAY AGAIN, MAYOR, I'M SORRY.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Larry: HEY, HEY, YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY SAY.
WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU DON LEMON, YOU WALK THE ( BLEEP ) OUT.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.
THAT'S HOW THE SAYING GOES.
CNN TOOK THE AWKWARD APPROACH TO HANDLING RACIAL TENSIONS, AND
FOX TOOK THE RACIAL APPROACH TO HANDLE THEIR AWKWARD TENSIONS.
>> WE HAVE TWO STORES.
THIS GUY IS WALKING OUT WITH A COLT 45 POSTER AND BURNING IT.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF FREE LIQUOR WITH THE THE FIVE-FINGER PROGRAM
HERE.
>> Larry: THAT WAS A CLIP FROM FOX NEWS' "BLACKS DO THE
DARNDEST THINGS!."
BUT FOX LOVES A GOOD COMPARISON, AND THOSE COMPARISONS DON'T GET
CONFUSED WITH ANNOYING THINGS LIKE LOGIC.
>> THIS DOESN'T LOOK OR FEEL LIKE THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
>> THIS LOOKS LIKE SOME RIOT IN SOME THIRD WORLD NATION.
"THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE UNITED STATES.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A THIRD WORLD NATION.
I CAN'T RELATE."
LET ME GIVE YOU GUYS SOME ADVICE.
WHEN ( BLEEP ) LIKE THIS GOES DOWN, ALL OF YOU SHOULD JUST GO
HOME SHOW RERUNS OF "KILLING JESUS."
YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO RELATE TO THIS BUT IF ANYTHING
EXPLAINS AMERICA, IT'S THOSE PICTURES.
OPPRESSION-RIOT-OPPRESSION-RIOT IS EXACTLY THE PATTERN THAT
BUILT THIS COUNTRY. STARTING WITH THE TAX OPPRESSION
WHICH LED TO THE TEA PARTY, THE PARTY YOU ALL SEEM SO IN LOVE
WITH.
WHAT'S NEXT? >> I'D BE INTERESTED IN
HEARING FROM THOSE POLICE ABOUT THEIR LEVEL OF
FRUSTRATIONS HAVING TO STAND AND WATCH THESE THUGS GO THUGGING.
>> Larry: "THUGS GO THUGGING ?" WHAT IS THAT, THE 13th
DAY OF CHRISTMAS?
13 THUGS-A-THUGGING, MAKES SENSE.
F.Y.I., THERE ARE NO MORE GOLDEN RINGS BECAUSE OF ALL THOSE
THUGS.
( LAUGHTER ) ALL THE THUGGING.
SORRY ABOUT THAT, CHRISTMAS.
OKAY, SO THEY MENTION STEALING, MALT LIQUOR THUGS.
WHAT ELSE IS LEFT ON THE STEREOTYPE LIST?
I KNOW. BLACK SUPER-STRENGTH >> WE WATCHED THIS AFTERNOON
WITH THESE BOULDERS HITTING THESE COPS.
>> Larry: BOULDERS?
BLACK PEOPLE ARE DOING THIS.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING.
SO BLACK PEOPLE CAN THROW BOULDERS, THANKS.
I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD DO THAT.
OKAY, STEALING, MALT LIQUOR, THUGS, SUPER STRENGTH, WHAT
ELSE?
>> YOU HAVE AN ALLIANCE THAT IS CONCERNED ALL OFFICERS AROUND
THE COUNTRY ABOUT THE CRIPS AND THE BLOOD AND THE THE BLACK
GUERILLA FAMILY IS WHAT IT'S CALLED, A GANG IN WEST
BALTIMORE.
>> Larry: SO BETWEEN THE BLOOD, CRIPS, AND BLACK
GUERILLAS.
HMMM... WHICH ONE OF THESE GANG NAMES DO YOU THINK FOX LIKES TO
SAY THE MOST?
>> THE BLACK GUERILLA FAMILY.
>> THE BLACK GUERILLA FAMILY A GROUP KNOWN AS THE THE BLACK
GUERILLA FAMILY.
>> THIS GUERILLA GANG-- WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT--
>> THE BLACK GUERILLA FAMILY.
>> Larry: ( BLEEP ) YOU, ( BLEEP ), MAN!
SERIOUSLY!
( BLEEP ).
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WHAT KIND OF ( BLEEP )-- THAT'S
ROLLING OFF YOUR TONGUES A LITTLE TOO GLEEFULLY.
YOU SOUND LIKE FIVE-YEAR-OLDS WHO JUST LEARNED THE WORD
VAGINA-- VAGINA, VAGINA, VAGINA.
( LAUGHTER ) HOWEVER, HOWEVER, THERE WAS A
LEGITIMATE REASON TO TALK ABOUT GANGS.
>> WORD TONIGHT OF A CREDIBLE THREAT THAT SEVERAL GANGS IN
BALTIMORE HAVE FORGED AN ALLIANCE TO ENGAGE IN ATTACKS ON
POLICE OFFICERS.
>> Larry: OH, THAT DOES NOT SOUND GOOD.
IN FACT, THAT'S A PRETTY SERIOUS ACCUSATION.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I SHOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I MEAN, THEY ARE GANG MEMBERS.
BUT YOU KNOW IT, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR FROM ONE OF THEM.
I MEAN, I DON'T WANT TO PAINT THE WRONG PICTURE OF THIS.
>> WE DO NOT COME TOGETHER AGAINST THE COPS.
WE'RE NOT ABOUT TO ALLOW YOU TO PAINT THIS PICTURE OF US.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Larry: SORRY ABOUT THAT.
MY BAD, POLITE GANG MEMBER PRESS SECRETARY.
PLEASE GO ON.
>> WE HAVE SOLDIERS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW.
WE DIRTY.
THEY THREW BOMBS AT US FOR TRYING TO STOP WHAT'S GOING ON
RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE NOT ABOUT TO DO THAT TO US.
>> SO YOUR GAME PLAN TONIGHT HAS BEEN TO STOP THE VIOLENCE.
>> TO STOP WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> Larry: IT'S ASTONISHING.
IF THINGS IN BALTIMORE ARE SO BAD THAT THESE GROUPS WHO HAVE
NOT DONE A LOT OF GOOD IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY NOW WANT TO DO
GOOD IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY, THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.
WHEN THE BLOOD, THE CRIPS, AND THE "B" "G" "F"s-- THAT'S
RIGHT, FOX,THAT'S HOW YOU SAY IT-- ARE TELLING YOU TO TAKE
IT DOWN A NOTCH, MAYBE IT'S TIME TO LISTEN.
LOOK, THERE'S A LOT OFANGER AND A LOT OF FRUSTRATION, AND, YES,
THERE ARE A THE LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE VANDALIZED THE CITY.
BUT THERE'S EVEN MORE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TURNED UP TO DO SOME GOOD
SINCE SATURDAY THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PEACEFULLY
PROTESTING AND TODAY OVER ON FACEBOOK OVER 3,000 PEOPLE HAVE
VOLUNTEERED HELP CLEAN UP THE CITY.
BY FACEBOOK PARTY INVITE MATH, THAT'S LIKE 300 PEOPLE, BUT--
( LAUGHTER ) BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN
BROOMS TO CLEAN UP THE MESSES IN CITIES LIKE BALTIMORE.
STAY IN THE STRUGGLE.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
