University of Missouri President Tim Wolfe resigns after 4 racial incidents, including the use of the N-word, a swastika, and a racist car attack on a black student. Shapiro points out the hypocrisy of the media's lack of coverage of the events leading up to the ouster of the university president, Tim Wolfe, who was a white guy who benefited from white privilege. Plus, a story about a black girl who died after being hit by a car driven by a 14-year-old white girl in Kansas City named Tanya Chamberlain, who died at the hands of a 13-year old white girl who ended up in a car wash one day after she was hit by an 8th grader's car in a town called Lee's Place in Missouri, which is just 120 miles from Columbia, Missouri, where she was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Ben Shapiro explains why this is the end of the world, and why ESPN should not be covering this story at all, and how ESPN should be covering another story about racism in the 1950s, about a woman who was killed by a 13 year old girl who was shot to death by her own car in the backseat of her car, and who was only 8 years old. Ben Shapiro: It's not 1950, and it's not the 50s, it's the 80s, not the 90s, and ESPN should cover that story, right?

00:00:13.000This is Ben Shapiro, and this is The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:00:15.000You tend to demonize people who don't care about your feelings?
00:00:21.000Alrighty, 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.
00:00:28.000So 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.
00:00:38.000He resigned because, of course, he was somebody who was benefited by white privilege.
00:00:43.000And the way that he showed that he was benefited by white privilege is that he was forced to resign for being white.
00:00:48.000Which is the essence of white privilege, being thrown out of your job for being white.
00:00:53.000That's what black privilege was back in the days when black people were fired for being black.
00:01:41.000Somebody supposedly scrawled a swastika on the wall of a dorm bathroom in poop.
00:01:46.000Which, having been in a dorm bathroom, that actually cleans up the place.
00:01:49.000But there again is no evidence of this.
00:01:52.000They actually called up the police department.
00:01:54.000The police department has no record that this ever happened or any witnesses who say it ever happened, so we have no evidence of that.
00:02:00.000Fourth 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.
00:02:12.000Only one problem, it's all on video and it never happened, so...
00:02:15.000There were four, count them, four racial incidents.
00:02:17.000Three of them there is no evidence of, and the other one actually had consequences.
00:02:22.000The president is ousted anyway because he's a white guy who of course has benefited from white privilege.
00:02:28.000Now I do want to take one moment and point out just the hypocrisy
00:02:31.000of the media in the way they're covering this story.
00:02:35.000Systemic racism at University of Missouri.
00:02:37.000No 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.
00:02:45.000No one can name anything that the university president did wrong.
00:02:48.000Nobody can name anything in the system at University of Missouri that's racist.
00:02:52.000People are saying, well, way back in 1950, they didn't allow black people to go to the university.
00:02:56.000Well, I've checked my calendar and it is not 1950.
00:02:59.000I mean, I know this is a great shock to many folks on the left, but it is not, in fact, 1950.
00:03:02.000In 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.
00:03:12.000But in any case, nothing happened here, but it's systemic racism, right?
00:03:15.000And it must be covered, and we must all celebrate.
00:03:18.000And ESPN, which is just MSNBC with footballs, ESPN has proclaimed that this is the most important story in all the world.
00:03:25.000Well, 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.
00:03:38.000There's another story the media are not covering at all.
00:03:41.000This is the story of a lady named Tanya Chamberlain.
00:03:43.000Tanya 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.
00:03:50.000The 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.
00:04:02.000They stabbed her in the face, they stabbed her in the chest, they stabbed her all over her body, and then they drove her car
00:04:07.000Down 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.
00:04:14.000You haven't heard that story, because it's a black-on-white crime.
00:04:16.000The media don't cover black-on-white crime.
00:04:19.000As 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.
00:04:28.000And I looked at all of the various stories on the Tanya Chamberlain case from the media.
00:04:32.000Not once did it mention these teenagers were black.
00:04:34.000Not one time did it mention the teenagers were black and that the victim was white.
00:04:38.000The police, by the way, did release—how do I know they're black?
00:04:41.000Because the police released surveillance footage of the 13 and 14-year-old.
00:04:46.000And they have a picture of the lady who was killed, obviously.
00:04:49.000But all the media coverage ignores all of that.
00:04:51.000So actual incidents of racist killings or racial killings go completely unnoticed by the media.
00:05:10.000But over at University of Missouri, they're busy covering things like nonexistent racism over at the University of Missouri.
00:05:16.000Well, 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.
00:05:28.000Jonah Goldberg once said that the Nazis, the Communists, Mussolini's fascists, they were all liberal fascists, because they were socialists.
00:05:34.000They believed in left-wing principles.
00:05:36.000Well, these people would be liberal fascists, except they're actually just pansies.
00:06:01.000The 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.
00:06:12.000Here's the text of the email that the University Police, Missouri Police, remember, all these kids are 18 to 22 years old.
00:06:19.000Most of them are getting some sort of financial aid from the school.
00:06:46.000While 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.
00:06:57.000If you offend any of these delicate little precious flowers over at the University of Missouri, you actually call the cops now.
00:07:04.000So all the jack-booted thugs are busy wearing UGGs.
00:07:07.000All 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.
00:07:15.000This is why whenever the left says, oh, you know, the microaggression trigger culture, this doesn't have any ramifications.
00:07:20.000It doesn't have any ramifications until you get the guys with the guns on your side.
00:07:24.000Then it turns out that the guys with the guns are the ones who are enforcing your perverse, pathetic, mentally ill worldview.
00:07:30.000And it is mentally ill when you're calling the cops because someone said something that offends you.
00:07:35.000I 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.
00:07:42.000But here is the group of brave, panty-waist fascists doing what they do best.
00:07:47.000Yesterday, at the University of Missouri campus, there was a reporter, and he's a student reporter, an Asian student reporter, right?
00:07:53.000And he goes down to look at the protests and take pictures of the protests.
00:07:58.000And 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.
00:08:35.000The 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.
00:08:47.000It looks like an Occupy protest, basically.
00:08:50.000And 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.
00:09:00.000So he approaches the line, and all these students start yelling at him, screaming at him, right?
00:09:06.000And they're chanting, hey, hey, ho, ho, reporters have got to go, which of course is a great
00:09:11.000And wonderful explanation of how the First Amendment works.
00:09:13.000And he actually says, no, actually, the First Amendment means I can be here and you can be here.
00:09:17.000Like, 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.
00:09:24.000And 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.
00:09:33.000And then we get a situation where, you remember when you were a kid,
00:09:37.000If 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.
00:09:45.000So 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!
00:09:55.000So the reporter goes up to the line, and he's just standing there taking photographs.
00:10:00.000And 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.
00:10:08.000The goal, of course, being to initiate contact with this photographer, physical contact with the photographer.
00:11:12.000When she's not trying to muscle student journalists.
00:11:14.000Here's what she actually studies over at University of Missouri.
00:11:17.000Quote, 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.
00:11:35.000This is what she does for a living on the taxpayer dime at University of Missouri.
00:11:41.000And she's telling reporters that they should get out of there because otherwise they're just troubling people.
00:11:46.000It's the rule of the pantywaist fascists.
00:11:48.000You must not hurt their feelings under any circumstances.
00:11:51.000And if you do hurt their feelings, then there will be hell to pay.
00:12:20.000And because liberals are a waste of time,
00:12:22.000The 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.
00:12:32.000Here's Jonathan Butler on CNN playing the wronged victim slash hero, because this is how it works.
00:12:38.000In leftist ideology, the more you are victimized, the more you are a hero, even if that victimization doesn't exist.
00:12:43.000And 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.
00:12:49.000Except for Ben Carson, who's not a victim of anything.
00:12:51.000He deserves anything that comes to him because he's a crazy right-winger.
00:13:10.000I've been facing issues on this campus as an undergrad since 2008 and now as a graduate student here.
00:13:16.000I'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...
00:13:22.000Prior to the hunger strike, I really took some time with consulting my spiritual leaders, my pastors, and other mentors about this decision.
00:13:30.000And knowing that I am truly committed to this change, that's what I really set my heart on doing.
00:13:35.000And it just was a necessary precaution just in case anything happened.
00:13:49.000I felt unsafe since the moment I stepped on this campus.
00:13:52.000But 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.
00:14:00.000So my first semester here, I had someone write the N-word on my wall.
00:14:04.000I've been physically in altercations with white gentlemen on campus.
00:14:10.000I've had other incidences that have gone on.
00:14:53.000And 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.
00:15:10.000We've had cases of professors doing this in order to provoke media coverage.
00:15:14.000And yes, it happens on a large scale, and it happens on a small scale.
00:15:17.000And 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.
00:15:26.000Well, as you remember, Ferguson, Missouri was a hoax.
00:15:29.000If 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.
00:15:56.000We 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?
00:16:04.000Anderson Cooper's sitting right there on national TV.
00:16:07.000Did you ever say, did you file a report with the administration?
00:16:10.000Did you ever file a report with the police?
00:16:28.000There'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.
00:16:38.000Students 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.
00:16:51.000Our students realized that what they've been feeling here is linked to what happened just down the road.
00:17:00.000And so they started agitating for change on campus.
00:17:06.000I should mention the agitation has all been very peaceful.
00:17:10.000It's been very thoughtful and well done by a group of leaders who have been very intentional in getting action done.
00:17:21.000Okay, and you see Wolf Blitzer sitting there nodding along.
00:17:23.000At no point does he ever jump in and say, okay lady, you say that Ferguson, Missouri is what drove all of this.
00:17:28.000You 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.
00:18:08.000Brigadoon, 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.
00:18:21.000These campuses are dominated by the left, by the utopian left, right?
00:18:24.000But, if you hear the left talk about campuses, which are, again, there are zero Republicans on campus.
00:18:29.000Whenever the left talks about campuses, they're hotbeds of racism, and sexism, and transphobia, and rape, right?
00:18:51.000I don't know a single woman who has never received unwanted physical contact.
00:18:55.000There are zero women existing today who have never received unwanted physical contact.
00:19:00.000Ranging 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.
00:19:07.000Okay, the fact is that, but you count that as rape.
00:19:09.000That's a bit of an exaggeration as far as what rape is.
00:19:14.000You look at college campuses, dominated by the left, these are the worst places on earth.
00:19:18.000I mean, this is Bosnia-Herzegovina circa 1995, right?
00:19:22.000It's the worst place you could possibly want to be.
00:19:25.000Whereas modern-day Syria is Columbia University.
00:19:28.000You 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.
00:19:36.000Then, of course, it turns out that you faked the whole rape story in the first place, but your point has been made.
00:19:49.000Reason 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?
00:20:06.000If Columbia's racist, how much more must Austin, Texas be?
00:20:58.000If 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.
00:21:07.000The higher-ups in Baltimore are not going to crack down on the rioting.
00:21:11.000They'll give them room to riot, as the Baltimore mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, said.
00:21:15.000They'll riot in Ferguson because they know that the people in charge will basically go,
00:21:18.000Okay, you know, we've just got to give people room.
00:21:21.000Leftists will allow you to get away with things if you're a radical leftist.
00:21:25.000If they tried this routine at Hillsdale College, this sucker would be shut down in five seconds.
00:21:29.000Larry Arnn at Hillsdale College would look at these people and say, what's wrong with you?
00:21:43.000I mean, he sent in the National Guard, he sent in the military.
00:21:45.000When 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.
00:21:55.000That's what happens when Republicans run the show.
00:21:56.000So Democrats have learned their lessons and they pull this crap where Democrats run the show.
00:22:03.000And so petty fascism is going to rule on the campuses before it rules anyplace else.
00:22:09.000The media are just into it, and so do the politicians.
00:22:11.000Leftist politicians in Missouri are just enjoying it thoroughly.
00:22:15.000Senator Claire McCaskill, who's a Democrat from Missouri, she's the one.
00:22:18.000Thank you, Republican Party, for abandoning Todd Akin over a stupid statement, because now this dunderhead is still in the United States Senate.
00:22:25.000Claire McCaskill says she's proud, proud of what happened at the University of Missouri.
00:22:30.000The 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.
00:22:38.000And they were motivated and moved by his commitment.
00:22:42.000And then I was proud that it wasn't just the black players that were in that picture.
00:22:46.000It 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.
00:22:55.000There needs to be a reprioritization of how important this problem is on campus.
00:22:59.000And I'm proud that I think today the university really took a meaningful step towards that.
00:25:40.000Hopefully, it doesn't harm the players.
00:25:44.000Oh, to harm their chances to make an NFL roster.
00:25:48.000An 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.
00:26:04.000He's a failed University of Missouri football player.
00:26:06.000No one cares what he has to say except that he's gay and so he was a big national story.
00:26:11.000Okay, so we move from people, black people, who are not being victimized to black people who are being victimized.
00:26:16.000Ben Carson continues to be subjected to the media's scorn and ridicule over not lying at all.
00:26:22.000So 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.
00:26:32.000And MSNBC, you know, they were saying to Ben Carson, he's a liar, he's a liar, he's a liar, right?
00:26:49.000Joe Scarborough, who is really an atrocious anchor.
00:26:52.000I mean, Joe Scarborough is another one of these faux Republicans who appears on MSNBC.
00:26:56.000If you've listened to the podcast with any regularity, last week I talked about how these programs tend to book guests.
00:27:02.000The 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.
00:27:10.000Joe Scarborough is never going to say MSNBC is a far-left network, right?
00:27:13.000He'll never say that because he gets paid like $8 million a year by them.
00:27:16.000And so he has to maintain this sort of patina of, I'm not a hardcore Republican.
00:27:20.000So Ben Carson was on MSNBC and Joe Scarborough just starts basically yelling at him that he's lying, that he's lying.
00:27:45.000Now, Joe Scarborough can't name a single lie that Ben Carson has told, but he wins his point.
00:27:49.000I mean, by the way, how do they actually dress the people who appear on MSNBC?
00:27:53.000I mean, he looks like he just rolled out of bed this morning in his Snuggie, and then they just stuck him on the set.
00:27:59.000Chris 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?
00:28:51.000I mean, if a white guy says this, you have to imagine he's off the air tomorrow.
00:28:55.000Unless you're talking about Ben Carson, in which case he probably gets a raise.
00:28:58.000But 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.
00:29:07.000And the media are just jumping all over this.
00:29:10.000What frustrates me is some of the Republicans are, too.
00:29:12.000Mike Huckabee is jumping on Ben Carson.
00:29:13.000Huckabee's campaign has completely stalled out.
00:29:16.000He's been bumped down to the lower debate.
00:29:18.000My 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.
00:29:25.000But Carson and Christie have been moved down to the lower debate, which will happen tonight.
00:29:29.000And I don't want to do a debate preview.
00:29:30.000We'll just do a debate review tomorrow when we go over the elements of tonight's debate.
00:29:35.000But here's Mike Huckabee going after Ben Carson, jumping on the leftist bandwagon, which, by the way,
00:29:40.000If 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.
00:29:48.000If you buy into the left's agenda, then you're not a conservative.
00:30:51.000I 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.
00:31:01.000Like, 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.
00:31:09.000And anytime you want pot, you go down and get it.
00:31:11.000Anytime you want coke, you go down and get it.
00:31:12.000That's not how these drugs get passed around, particularly not in well-to-do enclaves like Hawaii.
00:31:17.000It's not like there's one guy who's a dealer, and then everybody just goes to that one guy who's the dealer.
00:31:22.000The 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.
00:31:44.000Meanwhile, by the way, the White House is saying that Ben Carson totally deserves the media scrutiny.
00:31:48.000If Ben Carson receives media scrutiny, well, you know, that's just the way it is.
00:31:51.000Josh 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.
00:32:17.000I think many of you who have covered both the 2008 campaign and this campaign, I think,
00:32:23.000You can obviously draw your own conclusions based on the work that all of you have done.
00:32:27.000I 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.
00:32:45.000And that people, when they make public comments, are going to have
00:32:49.000There are claims scrutinized, even if they're claims about their own biography.
00:32:55.000Okay, first of all, Barack Obama's claims about his own biography were not scrutinized dozens and dozens and dozens of times.
00:33:00.000Also, I love that suddenly the White House is embracing the democratic process.
00:33:04.000The most dictatorial president in American history is now embracing the democratic process and press scrutiny.
00:33:09.000This 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.
00:33:19.000The only president in American history who created his own press outlet from inside the White House
