‘I’ll Make You a Deal, Quentin’: Sheriff Clarke Has an Offer for Tarantino
[RUSH TRANSCRIPT]
HANNITY: “Here to respond, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke. Sheriff, he seems a bit unhinged to me watching that interview. But that doesn’t excuse what he did and what he said. He said those comments, made those comments about, murderers talking about cops at anti-cop rally. The week after, weekend after a cop was shot and killed in New York. That was the context in which it was stated. Your response?”
CLARKE: “Sure, and you notice that he had to look down and read from the script that somebody prepared for him. He didn’t know who David Clarke was. I have never talked about Quentin Tarantino on FOX News, but that’s neither here nor there. This guy really stepped in it. And you know it’s not unusual for this thing to happen. Here is the phenomenon. You have these Hollywood elites. He is a 1 percent or limousine liberal who feel as little guilty about his lot in life. And so every once in a while what these elites do is go down and appear at these demonstrations and they try to get their legitimacy that they are down with the struggle. They go down there and they get too far out ahead of their skis and they say something stupid. Look, Quentin Tarantino’s father, his dad said that his son was wrong and should apologize. My advice to Quentin Tarantino, honor thy father. Apologize, get yourself out of this. I’ll tell you what, I’ll make you a deal, Quentin, you take the proceeds, the profits from your next movie, donate them to the concerns of police survivor or the National Law Enforcement Memorial wall in Washington, D.C., maybe NYPD for survivors of people who have been killed in the line of duty, and I’ll help call off the dogs on this proposed boycott. But what he needs to do is realize when he is going down for his own game. He wants to feel like he is down with the struggle. He has no idea what people who he showed up with down there are living like. He has no — he shares no black experiences. The fact is that this guy is used to red carpets and champagne toasts. That’s his lifestyle. That’s what he is guilty about, because he doesn’t want these groups to turn on him.”
HANNITY: “You know, I think he make great comments. You know what I would like to do sheriff. How about I invite Quentin Tarantino, I don’t think he would have the courage to show up here. But to come on with you, and maybe you could explain to him and educate him, because he seems pretty ignorant, about what life is like out on the streets for cops every day. I think that might be a good experience for him. Maybe he can talk to some the families of the lost line of duty out there protecting and serving before he uses a broad brush and talks about calling this the murderers, murderers. He’s not talking about most cops. And he didn’t make the distinction. And nobody is trying to stop his First Amendment rights, but he has a First Amendment right and I have one, too. And I don’t want to go see his movies anymore. I’m not interested.”
CLARKE: “Sean, as you know, this isn’t even a First Amendment issue. He doesn’t even know what he is talking about. No government entities is telling Quentin Tarantino to knock it off. But I will say this, he should show up in the first and second week of May visit the small with the name of 25,000 law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty. Sean, I reached out to MSNBC for are a counter point of view to his rambling and his babbling yesterday and they declined. They said they are not big fans of mine. I guess they don’t share FOX News fair and balanced philosophy.”
HANNITY: “Well, I’m inviting Quentin here. I’ll join you in your effort. I would love to see him have a discussion with you about life on the streets for the average man and woman that is out there putting their lives on the line for us. Sheriff you are a friend of this program. Thank you for being with us.”
CLARKE: “Thank you, Sean.”
