The Ben Shapiro Show - Ep. 23 - The Rise of the Pantywaist Fascists

00:00:00.000 Here we are.

00:00:00.000 It is a Tuesday.

00:00:01.000 A lot to get to today.

00:00:02.000 It's a big day for two reasons.

00:00:03.000 One, it's the second day of the University of Missouri story.

00:00:06.000 Second, it is our producer's Jonathan's birthday.

00:00:09.000 Unfortunately, he has to sit here with us on his birthday.

00:00:11.000 So happy birthday, buddy.

00:00:13.000 This is Ben Shapiro, and this is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:15.000 You tend to demonize people who don't care about your feelings?

00:00:21.000 Alrighty, so we're now in day two of the great controversy surrounding the University of Missouri, and we have some new facts at our disposal.

00:00:28.000 So if you remember all the way back to yesterday, you listened to yesterday's podcast, we talked about what happened at University of Missouri that culminated in the resignation of the president of the university, Tim Wolf.

00:00:38.000 He resigned because, of course, he was somebody who was benefited by white privilege.

00:00:43.000 And the way that he showed that he was benefited by white privilege is that he was forced to resign for being white.

00:00:48.000 Which is the essence of white privilege, being thrown out of your job for being white. 0.97

00:00:53.000 That's what black privilege was back in the days when black people were fired for being black. 0.97

00:00:56.000 That was called black privilege. 0.83

00:00:58.000 It's the same thing now.

00:00:59.000 Or something.

00:01:00.000 But in any case, here are all the events leading up to this.

00:01:03.000 And we now have more information about all the events leading up to the ouster of President Tim Wolf.

00:01:07.000 So, event number one is the head of the student body, the elected head of the student government,

00:01:13.000 He's a black guy and he says that he was called the N-word by a bunch of white guys riding in a truck.

00:01:19.000 This has not been substantiated.

00:01:20.000 There are no other witnesses.

00:01:21.000 We don't know who these people were, so nothing you can do about it.

00:01:25.000 Incident number two. 0.95

00:01:26.000 Bunch of black guys are walking around on campus and a white drunk frat boy calls them the N-word. 0.71

00:01:31.000 He's now been moved off campus pending an investigation and his possible expulsion. 0.97

00:01:35.000 So something bad happened and there were consequences for that bad thing happening.

00:01:40.000 Incident number three.

00:01:41.000 Somebody supposedly scrawled a swastika on the wall of a dorm bathroom in poop.

00:01:46.000 Which, having been in a dorm bathroom, that actually cleans up the place.

00:01:49.000 But there again is no evidence of this.

00:01:52.000 They actually called up the police department.

00:01:54.000 The police department has no record that this ever happened or any witnesses who say it ever happened, so we have no evidence of that.

00:02:00.000 Fourth and final incident, apparently the president of the university, Tim Wolfe, he was being protested at the homecoming game, or the homecoming parade, and he was surrounded by a bunch of black students who surrounded his car, and his car supposedly hit one of the students.

00:02:12.000 Only one problem, it's all on video and it never happened, so...

00:02:15.000 There were four, count them, four racial incidents.

00:02:17.000 Three of them there is no evidence of, and the other one actually had consequences.

00:02:22.000 The president is ousted anyway because he's a white guy who of course has benefited from white privilege. 0.89

00:02:28.000 Now I do want to take one moment and point out just the hypocrisy 0.92

00:02:31.000 of the media in the way they're covering this story.

00:02:34.000 It's the end of the world, right?

00:02:35.000 Systemic racism at University of Missouri.

00:02:37.000 No one, no one can name a single racist thing the president of the university did, a single racist act the president of the university stood up for.

00:02:45.000 No one can name anything that the university president did wrong.

00:02:48.000 Nobody can name anything in the system at University of Missouri that's racist.

00:02:52.000 People are saying, well, way back in 1950, they didn't allow black people to go to the university.

00:02:56.000 Well, I've checked my calendar and it is not 1950.

00:02:59.000 I mean, I know this is a great shock to many folks on the left, but it is not, in fact, 1950.

00:03:02.000 In fact, 1950 happened 34 years before I was even born, so I'm fairly certain that it is not 1950 having a working knowledge of how chronology works.

00:03:12.000 But in any case, nothing happened here, but it's systemic racism, right?

00:03:15.000 And it must be covered, and we must all celebrate.

00:03:18.000 And ESPN, which is just MSNBC with footballs, ESPN has proclaimed that this is the most important story in all the world.

00:03:25.000 Well, if you get on the highway and you travel just about 120 miles from Columbia, Missouri, you end up in a town called, I think it's called Lee's Place in Missouri, just out of Kansas City.

00:03:38.000 There's another story the media are not covering at all.

00:03:41.000 This is the story of a lady named Tanya Chamberlain.

00:03:43.000 Tanya Chamberlain was a 43-year-old white lady, and she went to the car wash one day to wash her car, and she ended up dead.

00:03:50.000 The reason she ended up dead is because two 8th graders, a 13-year-old and a 14-year-old 8th grader, both of them black, they crawled in the back seat of her car, and when she got back in her car, they proceeded to stab her to death.

00:04:02.000 They stabbed her in the face, they stabbed her in the chest, they stabbed her all over her body, and then they drove her car

00:04:07.000 Down the road, and the cops saw them wobbling on the road, and they went to pull them over, and these kids pulled off the road, and they ran for it, and the police ended up catching them.

00:04:14.000 You haven't heard that story, because it's a black-on-white crime.

00:04:16.000 The media don't cover black-on-white crime.

00:04:19.000 As we've reported here at the Daily Wire, there is no consistent media policy at places like the LA Times or the New York Times for when they report race in the cases of these stories.

00:04:28.000 And I looked at all of the various stories on the Tanya Chamberlain case from the media.

00:04:32.000 Not once did it mention these teenagers were black.

00:04:34.000 Not one time did it mention the teenagers were black and that the victim was white.

00:04:38.000 The police, by the way, did release—how do I know they're black? 1.00

00:04:41.000 Because the police released surveillance footage of the 13 and 14-year-old.

00:04:46.000 And they have a picture of the lady who was killed, obviously.

00:04:49.000 But all the media coverage ignores all of that.

00:04:51.000 So actual incidents of racist killings or racial killings go completely unnoticed by the media.

00:04:56.000 Completely unnoticed.

00:04:57.000 Don't matter one whit.

00:04:58.000 Doesn't matter one whit. 0.98

00:04:59.000 I mean, imagine if two—if 13- and 14-year-old white—two white kids had killed a black lady at a car wash. 0.60

00:05:05.000 Can you imagine the media coverage?

00:05:06.000 It would never end.

00:05:07.000 It would never end.

00:05:08.000 Not for a moment would it end.

00:05:10.000 But over at University of Missouri, they're busy covering things like nonexistent racism over at the University of Missouri. 0.91

00:05:16.000 Well, the students, the precious snowflakes over at the University of Missouri, these panty-waist fascists, as I've taken to calling them, they don't even deserve the title liberal fascists, because they're not liberal in any sense of the word. 0.63

00:05:28.000 Jonah Goldberg once said that the Nazis, the Communists, Mussolini's fascists, they were all liberal fascists, because they were socialists.

00:05:34.000 They believed in left-wing principles. 0.92

00:05:36.000 Well, these people would be liberal fascists, except they're actually just pansies. 0.99

00:05:39.000 They're just panty-waists. 1.00

00:05:41.000 And so, they complain about anything that has to do with them being offended.

00:05:46.000 How bad has this become? 0.90

00:05:48.000 I'll show you a tape in just a minute as to what these people actually do, these panty-waist fascists. 1.00

00:05:53.000 And it really is pretty telling.

00:05:55.000 But first, I think it's important to note that this has now happened.

00:05:59.000 Over at the University of Missouri,

00:06:01.000 The Panty Waste Fascists have now called on the police to protect them against the brutal terrorist feelings hurters, and the University Police have released an email to the entire community.

00:06:12.000 Here's the text of the email that the University Police, Missouri Police, remember, all these kids are 18 to 22 years old.

00:06:19.000 Most of them are getting some sort of financial aid from the school.

00:06:22.000 It's a state-sponsored school.

00:06:24.000 The Missouri University Police Department released this email.

00:06:27.000 You ready for this?

00:06:43.000 At 573-882-7201.

00:06:46.000 While cases of hateful and hurtful speech are not crimes, if the individuals identified are students, MU's Office of Student Conduct can take disciplinary action.

00:06:56.000 You got this?

00:06:57.000 If you offend any of these delicate little precious flowers over at the University of Missouri, you actually call the cops now.

00:07:04.000 So all the jack-booted thugs are busy wearing UGGs.

00:07:07.000 All these UGG-booted thugs over at the University of Missouri calling up all their friends at the police department to whine about somebody saying something that triggered them.

00:07:15.000 This is why whenever the left says, oh, you know, the microaggression trigger culture, this doesn't have any ramifications.

00:07:20.000 It doesn't have any ramifications until you get the guys with the guns on your side. 0.99

00:07:24.000 Then it turns out that the guys with the guns are the ones who are enforcing your perverse, pathetic, mentally ill worldview. 0.99

00:07:30.000 And it is mentally ill when you're calling the cops because someone said something that offends you. 0.99

00:07:35.000 I grew up in a country called America, and in America, I was under the impression that we get to offend each other, that this was one of the things that we do around here. 0.66

00:07:42.000 But here is the group of brave, panty-waist fascists doing what they do best.

00:07:47.000 Yesterday, at the University of Missouri campus, there was a reporter, and he's a student reporter, an Asian student reporter, right?

00:07:53.000 And he goes down to look at the protests and take pictures of the protests.

00:07:58.000 And here is what it looked like when he went down to the protests, and we'll explain what's happening for people who can't actually see.

00:08:06.000 I'm media.

00:08:06.000 Can I talk to you?

00:08:07.000 No, you need to get out.

00:08:09.000 You need to get out.

00:08:10.000 No, I don't.

00:08:12.000 You need to get out.

00:08:13.000 I actually don't.

00:08:14.000 Alright.

00:08:15.000 Hey, who wants to help me get this reporter out of here? 0.97

00:08:20.000 I need to muscle over here, get this reporter out of here.

00:08:23.000 Okay, that lady who you see yelling at the reporter there, and this is not nearly the entirety of the video.

00:08:27.000 The video's about 11 minutes long.

00:08:29.000 That's the most relevant portion of it.

00:08:31.000 You sort of have to understand what came before this on the video.

00:08:33.000 It is amazing.

00:08:35.000 The student, who's, again, Asian, Asian-American, he walks up to take photographs of this protest, and there's a big wall that's been created, a wall of students, and in the center, there's what looks like a little encampment with a bunch of crappy tents.

00:08:47.000 It looks like an Occupy protest, basically.

00:08:50.000 And he wants to get in so that he can take pictures of these poor, bedeviled students who are under the thumb of their progressive masters over at the University of Missouri.

00:09:00.000 So he approaches the line, and all these students start yelling at him, screaming at him, right?

00:09:05.000 Get out of here! 0.99

00:09:06.000 And they're chanting, hey, hey, ho, ho, reporters have got to go, which of course is a great

00:09:11.000 And wonderful explanation of how the First Amendment works.

00:09:13.000 And he actually says, no, actually, the First Amendment means I can be here and you can be here. 0.99

00:09:17.000 Like, the same thing that allows you to be here making asses of yourselves, that allows me to be here photographing you making asses of yourselves. 0.97

00:09:24.000 And he's confronted by the head of Greek life, the associate head of Greek life, a faculty member, at the university and told to leave because it's offensive and you're triggering people, you're making them feel bad. 0.99

00:09:33.000 And then we get a situation where, you remember when you were a kid,

00:09:37.000 If you had a younger sibling, I'm sure at some point this happened to you or you did it to a younger sibling, where you're in a fight with your sibling and you don't want to get in trouble with your parents.

00:09:45.000 So what you do is you take your younger sibling's hand and you hit them in the face with their own hand and then you go, stop hitting yourself!

00:09:50.000 Stop hitting yourself!

00:09:51.000 Right?

00:09:51.000 You've seen kids do this at the playground.

00:09:53.000 It's obnoxious.

00:09:53.000 It's terrible.

00:09:54.000 These students actually do that.

00:09:55.000 So the reporter goes up to the line, and he's just standing there taking photographs.

00:10:00.000 And suddenly, this associate dean for student life, or Greek life, or one of her compatriots, yells to the crowd, guys, we need to step a few steps forward, a few steps forward.

00:10:08.000 The goal, of course, being to initiate contact with this photographer, physical contact with the photographer.

00:10:14.000 He just stands there.

00:10:15.000 They walk into him, and then all the students begin yelling at him.

00:10:19.000 You're touching me!

00:10:19.000 Get off of me!

00:10:21.000 Why are you touching me? 1.00

00:10:23.000 And you're sitting there watching this going, these are all a bunch of insane people. 0.95

00:10:26.000 This literally looks like an asylum. 1.00

00:10:28.000 This is a bunch of nutjobs. 0.90

00:10:30.000 And, by the way, the lady who's yelling at this guy there saying, I want some muscle to get rid of this reporter. 1.00

00:10:36.000 There's a reporter over here, I need some muscle.

00:10:38.000 That lady's name, that afternoon delight's name, is Melissa Click. 0.93

00:10:43.000 Okay, her name is Melissa Click.

00:10:44.000 She teaches mass media in the communications department.

00:10:49.000 Right?

00:10:49.000 She's in the communications department.

00:10:51.000 And at one point, he says to her, the First Amendment protects me.

00:10:53.000 She goes, oh, the First Amendment protects you?

00:10:55.000 I'm in the communications department.

00:10:57.000 I know how that works.

00:10:58.000 That's not me imitating her.

00:10:59.000 That's her doing a voice. 1.00

00:11:01.000 Like the facetious voice.

00:11:02.000 Like the, I know you are, but what am I voice?

00:11:04.000 Right?

00:11:04.000 She does that to the student.

00:11:05.000 To the student!

00:11:06.000 Okay? 0.96

00:11:07.000 Melissa Click, who is, again, a professional useless person. 1.00

00:11:10.000 Here's what she actually studies. 0.96

00:11:12.000 When she's not trying to muscle student journalists.

00:11:14.000 Here's what she actually studies over at University of Missouri.

00:11:17.000 Quote, research projects involving 50 shades of gray readers, the impact of social media in fans' relationship with Lady Gaga, masculinity and male fans, messages about class and food in reality television programming, and messages about work in children's television programs.

00:11:35.000 This is what she does for a living on the taxpayer dime at University of Missouri. 1.00

00:11:41.000 And she's telling reporters that they should get out of there because otherwise they're just troubling people.

00:11:46.000 It's the rule of the pantywaist fascists. 1.00

00:11:48.000 You must not hurt their feelings under any circumstances.

00:11:51.000 And if you do hurt their feelings, then there will be hell to pay.

00:11:54.000 They will call the cops on you.

00:11:55.000 They will call the cops.

00:11:56.000 That's where we've come.

00:11:58.000 They will now call the cops.

00:11:59.000 And look at the kind of students that are being created here.

00:12:02.000 There's a Missouri student who was—I believe she's on CNN.

00:12:07.000 And when—it's he.

00:12:08.000 He went on a hunger strike.

00:12:10.000 And this particular student is the one who claimed to have been hit by the president of the university's car.

00:12:16.000 And it wasn't true.

00:12:17.000 I mean, again, there's no video of this.

00:12:18.000 And he went on a hunger strike. 0.94

00:12:20.000 And because liberals are a waste of time, 1.00

00:12:22.000 The president of the university, instead of just saying, okay, you know, more food for us, he started catering to this idiot kid whose name is Jonathan Butler. 1.00

00:12:32.000 Here's Jonathan Butler on CNN playing the wronged victim slash hero, because this is how it works. 0.98

00:12:38.000 In leftist ideology, the more you are victimized, the more you are a hero, even if that victimization doesn't exist.

00:12:43.000 And if you're a black person, you're by nature a victim because obviously you're black, and all black people are victims, all of them. 0.99

00:12:49.000 Except for Ben Carson, who's not a victim of anything. 1.00

00:12:51.000 He deserves anything that comes to him because he's a crazy right-winger. 0.86

00:12:54.000 Except for him. 0.99

00:12:55.000 That black guy is not really black, so he's not a victim.

00:12:58.000 But actual victims, like this guy, who is going to a decent university on the taxpayer dime, he's a real victim.

00:13:05.000 And he says he feels unsafe on the campus.

00:13:07.000 Here is the aforementioned Jonathan

00:13:10.000 I've been facing issues on this campus as an undergrad since 2008 and now as a graduate student here.

00:13:16.000 I've been facing these issues and so this wasn't an easy decision to make but over the past two and a half, three weeks...

00:13:22.000 Prior to the hunger strike, I really took some time with consulting my spiritual leaders, my pastors, and other mentors about this decision.

00:13:30.000 And knowing that I am truly committed to this change, that's what I really set my heart on doing.

00:13:35.000 And it just was a necessary precaution just in case anything happened.

00:13:39.000 And this is important.

00:13:40.000 As an undergraduate, you were saying you've been facing these issues going back to 2008.

00:13:45.000 Did you feel unsafe on campus?

00:13:49.000 I felt unsafe since the moment I stepped on this campus.

00:13:52.000 But the thing that we've been pushing to everyone is that we love Mizzou enough to critique and to fight against the injustices that we face at this school.

00:14:00.000 So my first semester here, I had someone write the N-word on my wall.

00:14:04.000 I've been physically in altercations with white gentlemen on campus. 0.70

00:14:10.000 I've had other incidences that have gone on.

00:14:13.000 And for me, it's just

00:14:15.000 I've always not felt welcome at this university because the campus hasn't been in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

00:14:21.000 Okay, I'm gonna call BS on pretty much everything that guy just said.

00:14:24.000 I felt that this was unsafe from the moment he walked on campus, so why are you there?

00:14:28.000 So why are you there?

00:14:29.000 When I don't feel safe in a particular environment, I leave.

00:14:32.000 It's what I do.

00:14:33.000 It's what most people do.

00:14:35.000 And the idea that there's some sort of vast crime wave against black people at University of Missouri is not borne out.

00:14:39.000 By the way, is there any police record of somebody scrawling the N-word on his wall?

00:14:44.000 Is there any police record of any fights involving him and white people who are saying racist things to him?

00:14:48.000 Any police record of any of this?

00:14:49.000 Any records of any of this?

00:14:51.000 Is any of it documented?

00:14:52.000 Or is he just saying it?

00:14:53.000 And the reason I call out the idea that this might be a hoax, or that people might make this stuff up, is because people routinely make this kind of stuff up.

00:15:01.000 They do.

00:15:02.000 Okay, how many incidents have we seen across the country of people actually faking racial incidents in order to provoke media coverage?

00:15:08.000 It's happened all over the country.

00:15:10.000 We've had cases of professors doing this in order to provoke media coverage.

00:15:14.000 And yes, it happens on a large scale, and it happens on a small scale.

00:15:17.000 And the evidence of that is that the media are saying that what happened at University of Missouri was originally driven by what happened in Ferguson, Missouri, just a few miles down the road.

00:15:26.000 Well, as you remember, Ferguson, Missouri was a hoax.

00:15:29.000 If you remember, Ferguson, Missouri, the idea that an innocent young black man, unarmed, was shot for no reason by a cop, it was a lie and it was a hoax.

00:15:37.000 It drove riots.

00:15:39.000 I drove media coverage for months.

00:15:40.000 I drove the White House to get involved.

00:15:43.000 It was a hoax.

00:15:43.000 It was a lie.

00:15:44.000 And Barack Obama got up there and he said, you know, black people aren't just making this stuff up. 0.98

00:15:49.000 And the fact is, in that case, black people were making that stuff up. 0.93

00:15:52.000 Because it turns out that when there is a benefit to making things up, people will make things up. 0.66

00:15:55.000 It's amazing.

00:15:56.000 We have a media that will vet Ben Carson's knifing story back 50 years, but not a media that will ask, OK, did you ever file a police report?

00:16:04.000 Anderson Cooper's sitting right there on national TV.

00:16:07.000 Did you ever say, did you file a report with the administration?

00:16:10.000 Did you ever file a report with the police?

00:16:11.000 No, nothing.

00:16:12.000 We'll just take your word.

00:16:13.000 You felt unsafe.

00:16:14.000 Oh, you felt unsafe.

00:16:15.000 Because feelings.

00:16:18.000 And the entire Missouri faculty is doing the same thing.

00:16:21.000 Missouri Associated Professor was also on television last night talking about how Ferguson was the catalyst for all of this.

00:16:27.000 Ferguson really drove all of this.

00:16:28.000 There's a Missouri Associated Professor talking about how Ferguson, Missouri really changed everything at the University of Missouri, which, again, has nothing to do with anything.

00:16:38.000 Students have been passionate about this for a long time and I think most recently the catalyst was last year when Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson.

00:16:51.000 Our students realized that what they've been feeling here is linked to what happened just down the road.

00:17:00.000 And so they started agitating for change on campus.

00:17:06.000 I should mention the agitation has all been very peaceful.

00:17:10.000 It's been very thoughtful and well done by a group of leaders who have been very intentional in getting action done.

00:17:21.000 Okay, and you see Wolf Blitzer sitting there nodding along.

00:17:23.000 At no point does he ever jump in and say, okay lady, you say that Ferguson, Missouri is what drove all of this.

00:17:28.000 You do realize that Eric Holder, the racist Eric Holder's DOJ, his Department of Justice, found that the shooting of Michael Brown was entirely justified on the part of Officer Darren Wilson.

00:17:36.000 You do realize that, right?

00:17:37.000 Nobody ever says any of that. 0.63

00:17:39.000 We're just supposed to take for granted America is racist, and Ferguson is racist, and University of Missouri is racist.

00:17:45.000 And the left wants it both ways.

00:17:46.000 It's really funny.

00:17:46.000 They'll say, Ferguson, Missouri is racist.

00:17:48.000 Therefore, University of Missouri is racist.

00:17:50.000 And then they say, University of Missouri is racist. 0.70

00:17:53.000 Therefore, America is racist.

00:17:54.000 You ever wonder why it is that the left is focusing so much of its ire lately on college campuses?

00:18:00.000 Where no Republican has set foot in decades.

00:18:03.000 It's like the island of Atlantis for Republicans' college campuses.

00:18:06.000 It just doesn't exist.

00:18:08.000 Brigadoon, it appears once every hundred years out of the mist, and a Republican wanders onto it, and then has to make a decision as to whether to stay on campus and disappear into the mist for the next hundred years, or walk away and leave behind Sid Charisse.

00:18:21.000 These campuses are dominated by the left, by the utopian left, right?

00:18:24.000 But, if you hear the left talk about campuses, which are, again, there are zero Republicans on campus. 0.82

00:18:29.000 Whenever the left talks about campuses, they're hotbeds of racism, and sexism, and transphobia, and rape, right? 0.99

00:18:37.000 They're rape hotbeds. 1.00

00:18:38.000 Everybody's getting raped on campus, right? 0.99

00:18:40.000 One out of every four women is raped on campus, which is absolute bull, okay?

00:18:44.000 The statistical study on which that is based says, did you ever receive any unwanted physical contact?

00:18:50.000 And then counts that as rape. 0.90

00:18:51.000 I don't know a single woman who has never received unwanted physical contact.

00:18:55.000 There are zero women existing today who have never received unwanted physical contact.

00:19:00.000 Ranging from a guy leans in for a kiss, and she turns her cheek so it glances off, to he tries to hold her hand, to shaking hands with somebody who's gross.

00:19:07.000 Okay, the fact is that, but you count that as rape.

00:19:09.000 That's a bit of an exaggeration as far as what rape is. 0.99

00:19:12.000 But!

00:19:12.000 The point is this.

00:19:14.000 You look at college campuses, dominated by the left, these are the worst places on earth.

00:19:18.000 I mean, this is Bosnia-Herzegovina circa 1995, right?

00:19:22.000 It's the worst place you could possibly want to be.

00:19:25.000 Whereas modern-day Syria is Columbia University. 0.95

00:19:28.000 You never know when you're just going to be hopped on and raped, and then you have to drag a mattress around like Mattress Girl for months on end to get the administration to pay attention to you. 0.78

00:19:36.000 Then, of course, it turns out that you faked the whole rape story in the first place, but your point has been made. 0.97

00:19:40.000 Campuses are a terrible place.

00:19:42.000 Why is it that the left is focusing on campuses?

00:19:44.000 There are two reasons that the left focuses on its own campuses.

00:19:47.000 Again, places they dominate.

00:19:49.000 Reason number one the left focuses on its campuses is because if the left can claim that campuses, the most tolerant, liberal, and diverse of places in the United States, are really intolerant bastions of conservatism, then, by extension, all of the United States must be that much more racist, right?

00:20:06.000 If Columbia's racist, how much more must Austin, Texas be?

00:20:09.000 Or Austin, how about Lubbock?

00:20:10.000 I mean, goodness gracious.

00:20:12.000 The further you move into the heartland, the worse it gets.

00:20:16.000 If it's bad at University of Missouri in Columbia, then wait until you get to Podunk.

00:20:20.000 Podunk is going to be the worst place you've ever been.

00:20:23.000 America has to be worse, because this is Utopia.

00:20:25.000 These beautiful manicured lawns where everybody gets along, but secretly underneath. 0.78

00:20:29.000 Just peel away the layers like an onion, and underneath this place is Nazi Germany.

00:20:35.000 First of all, you all control this, but the idea is that if this is bad, the rest of America is that much worse.

00:20:40.000 Right?

00:20:40.000 These are the student leaders, and they know.

00:20:42.000 Okay, so that's reason number one.

00:20:44.000 Reason number two is because no matter how radical you get on a university campus, there will never be any kickback.

00:20:50.000 No one will ever confront you.

00:20:51.000 No one will ever tell you you're wrong. 0.98

00:20:53.000 No one will ever tell you that you're a doofus and that you're lying and that what you're saying is untrue. 0.90

00:20:57.000 No one will ever hurt your feelings. 0.96

00:20:58.000 If they tried this routine, if they tried this routine, this is why riots typically happen in Democrat cities, because they know that the treatment is going to be relatively nice.

00:21:07.000 The higher-ups in Baltimore are not going to crack down on the rioting.

00:21:11.000 They'll give them room to riot, as the Baltimore mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, said.

00:21:15.000 They'll riot in Ferguson because they know that the people in charge will basically go,

00:21:18.000 Okay, you know, we've just got to give people room.

00:21:21.000 Leftists will allow you to get away with things if you're a radical leftist. 0.98

00:21:25.000 If they tried this routine at Hillsdale College, this sucker would be shut down in five seconds. 0.97

00:21:29.000 Larry Arnn at Hillsdale College would look at these people and say, what's wrong with you? 0.99

00:21:34.000 Seriously, what's wrong with you?

00:21:36.000 And back in the day, when they tried this at UC Berkeley, Ronald Reagan actually sent in tanks to UC Berkeley.

00:21:42.000 He actually did.

00:21:43.000 I mean, he sent in the National Guard, he sent in the military.

00:21:45.000 When the Black Panthers and a bunch of other student groups took over a bunch of the buildings, state-owned student buildings, state-owned buildings, Ronald Reagan sent in troops to get them out.

00:21:55.000 That's what happens when Republicans run the show. 0.99

00:21:56.000 So Democrats have learned their lessons and they pull this crap where Democrats run the show. 0.99

00:22:03.000 And so petty fascism is going to rule on the campuses before it rules anyplace else. 0.99

00:22:08.000 And the media love it.

00:22:09.000 The media are just into it, and so do the politicians.

00:22:11.000 Leftist politicians in Missouri are just enjoying it thoroughly.

00:22:15.000 Senator Claire McCaskill, who's a Democrat from Missouri, she's the one. 0.99

00:22:18.000 Thank you, Republican Party, for abandoning Todd Akin over a stupid statement, because now this dunderhead is still in the United States Senate. 0.99

00:22:25.000 Claire McCaskill says she's proud, proud of what happened at the University of Missouri. 0.99

00:22:30.000 The credit goes to these kids who took a stand and to the football players who went to visit the young man who had gone days without food.

00:22:38.000 And they were motivated and moved by his commitment.

00:22:42.000 And then I was proud that it wasn't just the black players that were in that picture.

00:22:46.000 It was the team and the coach that all kind of came together and said, you know, we're one here, too, and something needs to happen.

00:22:55.000 There needs to be a reprioritization of how important this problem is on campus.

00:22:59.000 And I'm proud that I think today the university really took a meaningful step towards that.

00:23:04.000 So, so proud.

00:23:05.000 She's so proud.

00:23:06.000 And what's amazing about that, notice the way that she, that she characterized this.

00:23:09.000 This young man who had gone without food.

00:23:13.000 There's food in the building next door.

00:23:16.000 He went without food because he doesn't want food.

00:23:18.000 No one is starving this guy.

00:23:21.000 By the way, he looked pretty well fed when he was on CNN, didn't he?

00:23:24.000 He looked pretty decent a few minutes ago.

00:23:25.000 I assume that's because he broke his fast and had a magnificent meal.

00:23:29.000 I mean, he wasn't dying any time in here.

00:23:31.000 But it is amazing.

00:23:34.000 Everyone united.

00:23:35.000 The coach is being paid $3.1 million and who would violate his contract if he didn't get his people on the field.

00:23:41.000 That guy joined with the players.

00:23:43.000 Well, there's a shock.

00:23:44.000 There's a shock.

00:23:45.000 Because he leveraged the university into getting his players back on the field so he can get paid.

00:23:48.000 I mean, there's a giant shock.

00:23:50.000 But no white privilege attaches to him.

00:23:51.000 No white privilege attaches to Claire McCaskill. 1.00

00:23:54.000 Who buys into this mumbo-jumbo.

00:23:57.000 It is truly amazing.

00:23:58.000 And then finally, to cap all of this off, the media coverage on all these issues is so amazing.

00:24:05.000 It's almost a parody of itself.

00:24:07.000 If you had to script this thing,

00:24:09.000 University of Missouri, its football program was famous last year because one of its football players, a guy named Michael Sam, was gay.

00:24:16.000 Which no one cares about because he's not a very good football player.

00:24:19.000 And also because no one cares if anybody's gay.

00:24:20.000 This is the United States in 2015.

00:24:22.000 No one cares.

00:24:23.000 Literally no one cares.

00:24:25.000 Right?

00:24:25.000 You're making a big deal out of the fact that you love dudes.

00:24:28.000 Fine.

00:24:29.000 No one cares.

00:24:31.000 We care when you want us to bake cakes for you. 0.98

00:24:33.000 But aside from that, aside from forcing me to participate in your gay wedding, or sanction your gay adoption, I don't care at all. 1.00

00:24:41.000 You want to have sex with whatever? 1.00

00:24:42.000 You can have sex with the wall. 1.00

00:24:43.000 I don't care. 1.00

00:24:44.000 But Michael Sam became famous.

00:24:45.000 He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

00:24:47.000 And then, of course, he was promptly dropped.

00:24:48.000 He was drafted in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, even though he was totally unqualified.

00:24:53.000 He was dropped by the Rams practice squad.

00:24:55.000 He was picked up by the Cowboys.

00:24:56.000 They dropped him from the practice squad.

00:24:58.000 He then signed up with the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League.

00:25:02.000 And then walked away from the team because he couldn't get his stuff together.

00:25:05.000 And now, he's back on TV because University of Missouri's in the news.

00:25:09.000 And so here's Michael Sam extending his 15 minutes of fame by how long is this clip?

00:25:14.000 About 35 seconds?

00:25:16.000 Yeah, so here's Michael Sam who's now in TV.

00:25:18.000 He actually, he was lucky.

00:25:20.000 He extended his 15 minutes of fame to 15 minutes and 35 seconds.

00:25:22.000 Here we go.

00:25:24.000 Football is not everything.

00:25:27.000 When I came out, I didn't do it for the fame or the glory.

00:25:31.000 I did it because I was tired of hiding.

00:25:35.000 People stand up for what they believe in.

00:25:36.000 I think that's important.

00:25:37.000 Life is important.

00:25:39.000 Football isn't everything.

00:25:40.000 Hopefully, it doesn't harm the players.

00:25:44.000 Oh, to harm their chances to make an NFL roster. 0.53

00:25:48.000 An articulous statement from the guy who says that he didn't come out for the fame or the glory, but is only on TV because he's gay. 0.93

00:26:04.000 He's a failed University of Missouri football player.

00:26:06.000 No one cares what he has to say except that he's gay and so he was a big national story. 0.98

00:26:11.000 Okay, so we move from people, black people, who are not being victimized to black people who are being victimized. 0.96

00:26:16.000 Ben Carson continues to be subjected to the media's scorn and ridicule over not lying at all.

00:26:22.000 So yesterday we played a clip from MSNBC with Joe Scarborough and Nicole Wallace and all the rest of the folks over at MSNBC, which is, as I like to call it, ESPN without the footballs. 0.99

00:26:32.000 And MSNBC, you know, they were saying to Ben Carson, he's a liar, he's a liar, he's a liar, right? 1.00

00:26:36.000 He's just a big liar. 0.99

00:26:38.000 And then when they were asked by Mark Halperin, can you name a single lie? 0.98

00:26:43.000 They kind of stared at each other in dumbfounded amazement because they couldn't.

00:26:47.000 They couldn't name a single lie.

00:26:48.000 Well, it didn't stop them.

00:26:49.000 Joe Scarborough, who is really an atrocious anchor.

00:26:52.000 I mean, Joe Scarborough is another one of these faux Republicans who appears on MSNBC.

00:26:56.000 If you've listened to the podcast with any regularity, last week I talked about how these programs tend to book guests.

00:27:02.000 The way they tend to book guests is they book people, Republicans, who they know are not really Republicans and who will give them the credibility of objectivity.

00:27:10.000 Joe Scarborough is never going to say MSNBC is a far-left network, right?

00:27:13.000 He'll never say that because he gets paid like $8 million a year by them.

00:27:16.000 And so he has to maintain this sort of patina of, I'm not a hardcore Republican.

00:27:20.000 So Ben Carson was on MSNBC and Joe Scarborough just starts basically yelling at him that he's lying, that he's lying.

00:27:27.000 It's pretty amazing.

00:27:29.000 Last Monday, I told the truth to the media.

00:27:33.000 This morning, I'm telling the truth to Ben Carson.

00:27:36.000 You're lying, and you need to come out front, and you need to admit it, because it's only going to get worse from here.

00:27:44.000 He's lying.

00:27:45.000 Now, Joe Scarborough can't name a single lie that Ben Carson has told, but he wins his point.

00:27:49.000 I mean, by the way, how do they actually dress the people who appear on MSNBC?

00:27:53.000 I mean, he looks like he just rolled out of bed this morning in his Snuggie, and then they just stuck him on the set.

00:27:59.000 Chris Matthews routinely looks like he wandered drunk out of a bar, and they just sort of sat him down in the chair, and he swiveled him three times, and then he's kind of bouncing his head around with the wild hair, and went, why am I here?

00:28:09.000 Where's Michael Isikoff?

00:28:11.000 So Joe Scarborough, one of many attacking Ben Carson.

00:28:15.000 Juan Williams on Fox News, he says that, yeah, Carson embellished his biography.

00:28:19.000 Juan Williams over at Fox News, ripping on Ben Carson.

00:28:22.000 Again, based on zero evidence that Ben Carson has lied about anything to this point.

00:28:27.000 This reminds me of a lot of rappers, Chris.

00:28:29.000 You know, they hype, they embellish, they exaggerate for the sake of the presentation of the biography in this case.

00:28:36.000 So, with the high school students, his classmates, and I think, Kimberly, people do remember what happens in high school very intensely.

00:28:43.000 I think it turns out he's more Urkel than Thug Life. 0.99

00:28:47.000 OK, first of all, if Juan Williams isn't black and he says this, he's off the air tomorrow.

00:28:51.000 Right? 0.85

00:28:51.000 I mean, if a white guy says this, you have to imagine he's off the air tomorrow. 0.85

00:28:55.000 Unless you're talking about Ben Carson, in which case he probably gets a raise.

00:28:58.000 But the Urkel, Thug Life, he's a rapper routine from Juan Williams, again, very, very insulting based on no evidence that Ben Carson has lied about anything.

00:29:07.000 And the media are just jumping all over this.

00:29:10.000 What frustrates me is some of the Republicans are, too.

00:29:12.000 Mike Huckabee is jumping on Ben Carson.

00:29:13.000 Huckabee's campaign has completely stalled out.

00:29:16.000 He's been bumped down to the lower debate.

00:29:18.000 My theory on why Mike Huckabee and Chris Christie were chosen to move down to the lower debate is that the stage actually has a maximum weight that it can hold.

00:29:25.000 But Carson and Christie have been moved down to the lower debate, which will happen tonight.

00:29:29.000 And I don't want to do a debate preview.

00:29:30.000 We'll just do a debate review tomorrow when we go over the elements of tonight's debate.

00:29:35.000 But here's Mike Huckabee going after Ben Carson, jumping on the leftist bandwagon, which, by the way,

00:29:39.000 Here's my rule.

00:29:40.000 If you jump on a leftist bandwagon based on falsification of facts, based on slurs, you automatically will never get my vote on anything ever again.

00:29:48.000 If you buy into the left's agenda, then you're not a conservative.

00:29:51.000 End of the story.

00:29:52.000 And Mike Huckabee was doing this with regard to Ben Carson.

00:29:55.000 It is a brutal process.

00:29:57.000 I've been through it for 26 years.

00:29:59.000 Right.

00:29:59.000 And life ain't fair.

00:30:01.000 I'm telling you.

00:30:02.000 But I will go on record today and tell you this, Mika.

00:30:05.000 I never hit my mother with a hammer.

00:30:08.000 And I never stabbed anybody.

00:30:10.000 Never wrote about it either.

00:30:11.000 So there you go.

00:30:12.000 At least I'm out there on the record for that.

00:30:14.000 Check. 1.00

00:30:15.000 What an obnoxious jerk. 1.00

00:30:17.000 I mean, the whole point of Ben Carson's story is that, of course, he underwent an amazing personal transformation when he found Christ. 1.00

00:30:22.000 That's his entire story.

00:30:24.000 And he did bad things.

00:30:25.000 And again, if this is going to be the way we do this now, then it's funny.

00:30:28.000 The media will sit there and they'll say, oh, check, you know, good for you.

00:30:30.000 You didn't do that.

00:30:31.000 Barack Obama did cocaine in high school.

00:30:33.000 Let me tell you something about people who do cocaine in high school.

00:30:35.000 There's not a person who does cocaine in high school who didn't sell cocaine to somebody else in high school.

00:30:39.000 Seriously, there's not one person.

00:30:41.000 When I was in high school, there were kids who were doing drugs.

00:30:44.000 There wasn't a single kid who was in high school doing drugs who didn't lend pot to his friend or sell pot to his friend.

00:30:50.000 This is how drugs get passed around.

00:30:51.000 I know that out there in white suburbia, there's this weird idea of how drugs actually work for people who have never actually had friends who did drugs, where they think that there's like one guy.

00:31:00.000 It's like a central clearinghouse.

00:31:01.000 Like, there's a CVS pharmacy for pot down in the middle of the ghetto, and there's one guy who just stands on a street corner with giant bags of pot and hands people pot.

00:31:09.000 And anytime you want pot, you go down and get it.

00:31:11.000 Anytime you want coke, you go down and get it.

00:31:12.000 That's not how these drugs get passed around, particularly not in well-to-do enclaves like Hawaii.

00:31:17.000 It's not like there's one guy who's a dealer, and then everybody just goes to that one guy who's the dealer.

00:31:22.000 The way that drugs get passed around originally is that one kid gets the drugs and then passes it out to friends or sells to friends and is a conduit for... The bottom line here is, whatever.

00:31:31.000 No one cares about that.

00:31:33.000 But they'll rip on Ben Carson for having admitted to all of this in his personal story and then admitting to have transformed himself.

00:31:39.000 But Barack Obama just blows it off, as I did a little blow in high school, and everybody just goes, oh, okay.

00:31:43.000 Oh well, oh well.

00:31:44.000 Meanwhile, by the way, the White House is saying that Ben Carson totally deserves the media scrutiny.

00:31:48.000 If Ben Carson receives media scrutiny, well, you know, that's just the way it is.

00:31:51.000 Josh Earnest over at the White House, who, again, he and his Dickensian last name, Josh Earnest, is the lying spokesman for the Obama White House.

00:32:01.000 Here we go.

00:32:02.000 He suggested that Barack Obama had nothing of this kind of scrutiny when he was running for President.

00:32:08.000 Do you agree with that?

00:32:09.000 That Ben Carson has been subject to more scrutiny than Barack Obama?

00:32:14.000 I don't agree with that statement.

00:32:17.000 I think many of you who have covered both the 2008 campaign and this campaign, I think,

00:32:23.000 You can obviously draw your own conclusions based on the work that all of you have done.

00:32:27.000 I think the important thing, John, is for people to remember — and this is sort of one thing that I have freely said about the ongoing presidential race that I have at times been reluctant to weigh in on — is that this process is good for our democracy.

00:32:42.000 It's not easy to run for President.

00:32:43.000 It shouldn't be.

00:32:45.000 And that people, when they make public comments, are going to have

00:32:49.000 There are claims scrutinized, even if they're claims about their own biography.

00:32:55.000 Okay, first of all, Barack Obama's claims about his own biography were not scrutinized dozens and dozens and dozens of times.

00:33:00.000 Also, I love that suddenly the White House is embracing the democratic process.

00:33:04.000 The most dictatorial president in American history is now embracing the democratic process and press scrutiny.

00:33:09.000 This is the same president who has declared that the media are out to get him, who has ripped on Fox News and talk radio and has suggested that we need to get rid of the polarization of media in favor of big networks again.

00:33:19.000 The only president in American history who created his own press outlet from inside the White House

00:33:24.000 You know this, right?

00:33:24.000 The press pool used to take pictures of all these events.

00:33:26.000 Now the White House has its own photographer that takes pictures and releases them to the press pool.

00:33:31.000 This guy is going to lecture us all on how Ben Carson ought to be treated by the media.

00:33:35.000 It is incredible.

00:33:36.000 And just to round all of this together, to wrap all of this up with a nice little bow, the White House was asked today

00:33:41.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:33:42.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.
