The first photo of Syed Farouk and Tashfeen Malik entering the U.S. has been revealed, and the left wants racial profiling. Also, Melissa Harris-Perry is a racist for wearing a hijab, and Taylor Swift should not have been allowed to use the word "racist" in the title of her new album, "Nerdland," because she's a nerd, and she's also a nerd who likes to be smart. Ben Shapiro breaks it all down, and explains why racial profiling is a big no-no, and why we should all be lobotomized to make sure we don't get caught up in the deluge of hate-filled tweets about Muslims wearing hijabs and hijabs, because they're not terrorists, they're just people who wear a hijab and are not Muslims, and we should treat them the same way we treat Muslims who wear Yarmulke and don't have a beard or a turban or don't wear a headscarf or have a head covering. Ben Shapiro explains why this is a bad idea, and how we need to lobotomize ourselves in order to stop racial profiling, and also why we need a "frontal lobotomy" to make sense of the left's fear of Muslims who don't dress like we should be targeted because they are Muslims because they don't look like Muslims because of their faith. And, of course, they are not. Muslims, but they are Muslims . and they don t have to be Muslim. Ben explains why that s a good thing, and he also explains why we shouldn't be worried about them wearing a head scarf or a hijab or wearing a yarmolayah or a Yarmelim, because it's not a Muslim thing. and why it's okay to be a Muslim, because we're not a terrorist, but we should still be treated the same as a Muslim. And why they should be treated like everyone else in the United States, even if they wear a yarayah. in the first place not a Muslim by the left is but not . and that s not because they have a hijab in America is not a Muslim . And he says it s okay to wear one? And that s okay, because she s not Muslim, right? and she s a nerd? And she s a nerd.
00:00:00.000Here we are, it is a Tuesday, and we have the very first photo of that delightful American couple, Syed Farouk and Tashfeen Malik, entering the United States.
00:00:09.000We'll show you that picture, we'll talk about it, we'll talk about racial profiling, and then we'll get to some Stuff I Hate, Taylor Swift edition.
00:00:16.000I'm Ben Shapiro, this is The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:00:25.000Alrighty, so the fact is that today we finally have the photo of what's been happening over at ABC News.
00:00:32.000ABC News has obtained the photo of the two terrorists who entered the United States in 2014.
00:03:06.000Right, but doesn't attend mosque ever and isn't Muslim.
00:03:09.000Probably a weird and crazy person, but not probably a Muslim terrorist, right?
00:03:12.000If we're trying to find Muslim terrorists, you actually want to go with the description of the suspect.
00:03:17.000But what's hilarious about all of this is that the left now wants frontal lobotomy.
00:03:21.000It's not just we have to treat every Muslim
00:03:24.000Just as we would treat anybody else in the United States, which of course is what we should do, as somebody who wears a yarmulke and benefits from this sort of protection in the United States.
00:03:32.000You know, the idea that you dress differently, you wear something different, you should still be treated the same.
00:03:38.000However, when it comes to law enforcement and their level of suspicion, then it's going to tick up slightly, if you are Muslim, slightly more than if you are Christian or Jewish, just statistically speaking, because that is called a description of the suspect if you're looking for Islamic terrorism.
00:03:52.000Or if you're looking for overall risk of terrorism.
00:03:55.000But according to the left, we have to frontally lobotomize ourselves.
00:03:57.000So, Melissa Harris Perry, who... She always hashtags Nerdland for some reason.
00:04:03.000This is one of the things that she likes to hashtag, Nerdland.
00:05:25.000It's like, for me, that is a difference.
00:05:29.000And it is a material and meaningful difference in how we... So on the one hand, again, I want to be able to talk about what the thing is that is terrorism.
00:05:37.000On the other hand, I have to reflect that this happens only for a specific community.
00:05:42.000It only happens for a specific community.
00:05:44.000Okay, I'll tell you what only happens for a specific community.
00:05:46.000This kind of conversation only happens for a specific community because the fact is when it came to Robert Deere, they did try to dig up anything they possibly could on his level of Christianity, and when that ended up failing because he was a nut job, then they gave up on it.
00:05:59.000With Dylan Storm Roof, they went after everything he could buy.
00:06:02.000His Confederate flag turned into a national issue, right?
00:06:04.000Everyone with a Confederate flag was now implicated in Dylan Storm Roof's shooting of people in Charleston.
00:06:10.000So, by the way, if you do walk into somebody's home, first of all, if you walked into her home, I assume you would know that she's a Muslim because you're walking into her home unless you're breaking in.
00:06:17.000She's clearly a Muslim, this lady, because she's wearing the hijab.
00:06:20.000And it is not racism to show a picture of the suspect.
00:06:23.000The only pictures of her available are ones of her with hijab.
00:06:27.000There was a long delay last week between the time that this broke
00:06:31.000And the picture of this woman coming out, Tashfeen Malik, and people were wondering why didn't the picture come out right away?
00:06:36.000We had pictures of Dylan Storm Roof almost immediately, even as the attack was still underway.
00:06:41.000And I'm wondering if it's possible the media were desperately searching for a picture of her without hijab that they could show, and it turns out that no pictures of her exist without hijab, which is not surprising.
00:06:51.000There are not any pictures of me so far as I'm aware, very few pictures of me without my yarmulke and my hat.
00:06:56.000And again, as somebody who covers their head all the time, so it's a very similar situation, I wear a headgear for religious reasons, right?
00:07:01.000I wear a yarmulke for religious reasons.
00:07:03.000I understand that that makes me visible as a Jew.
00:07:07.000Wearing a hijab makes you visible as a Muslim.
00:07:09.000To pretend there is no linkage whatsoever between Islam and terrorism is idiotic.
00:07:14.000And when they show the front page and they show that there's a Quran there and they show that there's various Islamic scriptures there,
00:07:21.000If you walked into the apartment, would you think they were a terrorist?
00:08:15.000Wouldn't be the chief indicator, wouldn't be the only indicator, but it would be something that you might want to give a little more attention than somebody you can categorically rule out in terms of Islamic terror, like, for example, the 85-year-old Swedish lady who lives next door.
00:09:44.000A lot of people knew that they were doing things that were nefarious, apparently including members of the family.
00:09:49.000Syed Farouk's father came out and he said, yeah, my son liked ISIS and he was really super anti-Israel and wanted to destroy Israel and I knew he'd been buying weapons.
00:10:00.000I mean, if you don't want to be lumped in, unless you're part of it, if you're part of it, then don't call 9-1-1, but I guarantee you, if somebody in my family said, by the way, I'm a fan of ISIS, and also I just bought a shotgun, I'd be like, okay, well, I'm gonna call the cops on you, and at least they're gonna check you out, right?
00:10:14.000But no, we now have to blind ourselves.
00:10:17.000Notice the way the reporter is phrasing that.
00:10:19.000They're just regular people who happen to have pipe bombs lying around.
00:10:46.000Now it turns out that it's sort of behaviorally linked.
00:10:48.000Islamic terrorism is behaviorally linked.
00:10:51.000It's not like you're walking down the street and boom!
00:10:53.000You get hit and you're an Islamic terrorist all of a sudden.
00:10:55.000Now it turns out there are a few prerequisites that are there.
00:10:59.000And those prerequisites are important to watch.
00:11:01.000And if you don't, it's because you're being stupid.
00:11:03.000And this has nothing to do with quote-unquote Islamophobia.
00:11:05.000It has to do with the fact that if you are looking for Jewish terrorists, then you would look for people who practice Judaism, wouldn't you?
00:11:13.000The fact is that it would be a ridiculous goal because there are so few Jewish terrorists on planet Earth.
00:11:37.000The point that I'm making here is that religious terrorism does exist in all religions, but it's the percentage that matters.
00:11:43.000It's the level of the perversity inside the particular religion that matters.
00:11:46.000President Obama admitted on Sunday that this is a perversion of Islam, which is the first time I've heard him actually say that it's Islam.
00:11:52.000He said there's a problem within Islam.
00:12:59.000Well no, it turns out that if you're going to cleanse a religion of its radicalism, the only people who are capable of cleansing a religion of its radicalism are the people on the inside of that religion.
00:13:08.000Radicalism in Christianity was cleansed by the people who were living in Christendom.
00:13:12.000It wasn't because Muslims suddenly started treating Christians well in the Middle East.
00:13:16.000Radicalism in Islam is going to have to be cleansed by people inside Islam who are doing the hard work.
00:13:22.000And they're actually not helped by you saying things like, these guys are not Muslim.
00:13:27.000Because all that does is it relieves them of responsibility.
00:13:53.000You've just gotten rid of one of the aspects of catching the suspect, presumably, if you're trying to check out Islamic terror.
00:13:58.000If you take Islamic out of the equation, it's going to be a lot harder for you to figure out who did this or who made the prospective suspect be.
00:14:06.000President Obama, of course, feels that profiling of Muslims for terrorism is just like him being profiled personally.
00:14:13.000You know, President Obama, a while back, he talked about how racial profiling was awful, how it had happened to him personally, and he's extended that same logic over to profiling of terrorists.
00:14:30.000Donald Trump said, you know, if there are people here and they are Muslim immigrants, then we may want to track them beyond just checking them once.
00:14:38.000As evidenced, Tahseen Malik got into the country.
00:15:19.000If they thought there was something wrong with that group, and they saw what was happening, and they didn't want to call the police because they didn't want to be profiling, I think that's pretty bad.
00:16:08.000And you can say it, or you don't have to say it, and maybe you won't even want to, but I've been saying it loud and strong.
00:16:14.000So if you have people coming out of mosques with hatred and with death in their eyes and on their minds, we're going to have to do something.
00:16:25.000We can't just say we're not going to look at it.
00:16:27.000Now, I made that statement a number of weeks ago.
00:16:30.000It took a lot of, you know, a lot of whatever.
00:16:32.000A lot of people were not exactly thrilled with it.
00:16:35.000And now everybody seems to agree with me.
00:16:37.000But this idea of tracking Muslims in America, that's the thing.
00:17:30.000We have one person that I really know of, and it's called President Obama.
00:17:34.000Until he admits that this is a problem, we're never going to solve the problem.
00:17:37.000But he's only going to be there, fortunately, a little bit more than a year.
00:17:40.000Because the problem will get solved when he gets the hell out.
00:17:44.000And of course, Donald Trump is exactly right here.
00:17:46.000He's getting all sorts of flack, by the way, from left and right.
00:17:48.000Hillary Clinton, she actually said, the same day that Donald Trump was saying this, she was saying, no, no, no, no, I will never say Islamic terror because it might offend Muslims.
00:17:56.000It might offend Muslims to say Islamic terror.
00:17:58.000Okay, when people say Jewish terror, I'm not offended by it if the person who was actually engaging in the terrorism was Jewish.
00:18:06.000And if the person was a religious Jew, then it makes me sick to my stomach, and that's why you see universally, not like with a few exceptions, universally, if they're an act of Jewish terrorism, everyone, including the Prime Minister of the State of Israel, comes out and condemns it.
00:18:20.000Okay, when was the last time that you saw the entire Muslim world condemn things?
00:18:26.000But Trump's rivals are jumping on him.
00:18:29.000Jeb Bush said on ABC's This Week that the FBI already has the tools it needs to monitor everybody, which of course, if that were true, then what would have happened in San Bernardino wouldn't have happened.
00:18:40.000He said that his comments highlighted his inexperience.
00:18:42.000He said, we don't need to be profiling in order to be able to get the job done.
00:18:46.000What you need is a president who's had experience, and they know how to do this, and not someone who's going to talk off the top of their head, which is about as vague as it's possible to be.
00:18:54.000Every criminal profile is a profile, right?
00:18:57.000I mean, there used to be a show on CBS called The Profiler.
00:19:00.000When you are searching for criminals, you actually have to look for the people who fit the particular bill.
00:19:06.000But again, the Obama administration is more focused on changing our notions of reality than in protecting us.
00:19:11.000So Loretta Lynch, the Attorney General, she said last week in the same environment, in which Trump is right by the way, he's right that there was a neighbor who said he saw a group of Middle Eastern men going into this apartment at weird hours, carrying packages, and he didn't call the cops because of racial profiling, he was afraid he'd be labeled.
00:19:28.000At the same time that President Obama is saying, if you see something, say something, he's sending out his Attorney General to target the Irving Police Department.
00:19:34.000Here's Loretta Lynch, the Attorney General of the United States, at the Muslim Advocates' Annual Dinner, explaining that really the great threat here is that we would be too anti-Islamic, and so she's going to go after the Irving Police Department for having the temerity to investigate Clock Boy, that's Ahmed Mohammed, that 14-year-old kid who brought a clock that looked like a bomb to his school and then got invited to the White House for his trouble.
00:19:57.000Everything need not result in a lawsuit, but some things do have to go to that area.
00:20:03.000We have, as you may know, opened an investigation into the case of the young men in Irving, Texas.
00:20:09.000We will see where that investigation goes.
00:20:11.000So you have extreme situations like that, but you also have those everyday things that happen, and we have an important, important role to play.
00:20:19.000So please, please think of us there as well.
00:20:23.000Anytime you see something that somebody comes and asks a question from law enforcement or there's a detention and then a release, think of suing.
00:20:30.000Think of suing and think about going after the person who actually reported you in the first place and humiliating them and making them lose their job.
00:20:36.000There'll be no downsides to any of this.
00:20:38.000Again folks, this is not to argue that all Muslims are terrorists because that would again be so stupid and idiotic and no one in history has argued this.
00:20:47.000This is not even to argue that if the only thing you know about someone is that they're a Muslim, that that person has to be a terrorist, because obviously that's idiotic.
00:20:54.000What it is to argue is that if you are going to create a description of a suspect in Islamic terror, that person would have to be Muslim.
00:21:03.000And that has actual practical ramifications, like when you see two people come into the country and you don't even bother to check their background, and you don't bother to check where Tashfeen Malik was from, you don't bother to check the fact that she gave a fake address from Pakistan where she was from, you just assume she's going to be a good little American.
00:21:18.000When you talk about importing 25,000 Syrian Muslim refugees and saying that everything is going to be hunky-dory, it'll all just be fine.
00:21:27.000All you are doing is setting yourself up for a fall.
00:21:29.000Not because the vast majority of people coming in want to commit terror, but because there will be some people who want to commit terror, and there will be others who are willing to be radicalized and on knife's edge.
00:21:39.000Of course you have to look where the suspects are.
00:21:43.000And if you don't, you're gonna get yourself in all sorts of trouble.
00:22:05.000And the reason they'll pull him over for being white is because white guys driving around in South Central at night are probably there to purchase drugs.
00:22:11.000They're not there just to take in the scenery.
00:22:24.000And behavioral, and again, this is not having to do with your ideas or what's in your head, it has to do with your behavior.
00:22:29.000If you reach out on Facebook to a terrorist group, if you attend a mosque that has terror ties, if you go to that mosque frequently that has terror ties, if you're having large groups of young men over to your apartment at odd hours of the night, and you go to a mosque with terror ties, and that mosque happens to be the place where you go five times a day,
00:22:46.000And it turns out that you are posting on Facebook about how Jews are the worst and Israel is the worst and ISIS may have a point.
00:22:54.000Maybe we ought to take you a little more seriously.
00:22:55.000Does that seem out of the world to you?
00:22:57.000That's not saying that we arrest the person, but it is saying you might want to keep an eye on them, right?
00:23:02.000And if you don't keep an eye on it, how stupid do we have to be here?
00:23:05.000How much do we have to frontally lobotomize ourselves for the purposes of political correctness?
00:23:10.000How many indicators are we going to put to the side just because we don't wish to offend anyone?
00:23:15.000And if you're a moderate Muslim, and you are somebody who goes to mosque often, wouldn't you be offended that your mosque was funded from abroad by people who want to commit terrorism?
00:23:24.000Wouldn't it be a problem to you if people who are in your mosque or a group of people who are interested in committing terrorism, wouldn't you want to throw them out?
00:23:30.000Donald Trump, very recently there was a guy who showed up at one of Donald Trump's rallies carrying a confederate flag.
00:23:35.000Donald Trump had his security escort him out.
00:24:06.000You can see the skepticism from that guy on Face the Nation toward Trump when Trump is saying, well, maybe we ought to look at some of the indicators here, not just that they're Muslim, but also things like coming from Saudi Arabia, things like her being essentially a mail-order bride coming back from Saudi Arabia with him, things like members of her family.
00:24:47.000My wife and I were in Israel around the time we got married, so about eight years ago.
00:24:51.000And when we went to Israel for our wedding, one of the things that we were told is, when you get in a cab, make sure that you get in a cab driven by a Jew.
00:24:58.000Because there have been cases in which people, Jews, young Jews, had gotten into cabs driven by Palestinians, and the Palestinians would drive them over to Palestinian areas, and they would be murdered.
00:25:06.000Or kidnapped, as it actually happened.
00:25:08.000So, my wife and I, we're driving around Jerusalem, or we're tooling around Jerusalem, and we need to grab a cab.
00:25:15.000And so we grab a cab, and we open the cab,
00:25:18.000And we get in, and it's hard to tell some Sephardic Jews from Arabs, because they're Jews from Arabic countries.
00:25:45.000Is it Islamophobic if we decide to pull over?
00:25:48.000And, we, and so I was sitting, I remember this, I was sitting next to the door, and I was thinking to myself, okay, if we get to a red light, and he starts to turn in the wrong direction, I'm pulling, I'm popping this door, and I'm hopping out immediately.
00:25:59.000If I have to smash this window, like, I started thinking that way, so, now instead of me just saying to the guy, pull over, I'm thinking, okay, if I have to jump out of a moving car with my wife next to me, should I do, all in the name of political correctness, when the reality is, that if I want to be safe, what I do is I just say, pull over.
00:26:21.000And maybe I'm Islamophobic for doing that.
00:26:23.000But I can guarantee you that the stories of people being driven to Palestinian areas and being murdered, those weren't stories.
00:26:29.000The fact is, right now, Israel is under a spate of terrorist attacks by random Muslims chopping at people with knives.
00:26:36.000Are we just supposed to pretend that doesn't exist if you're in Israel?
00:26:38.000Are you supposed to pretend the little old lady on the other side of the street, the little old Jewess on the other side of the street, is just as much a threat as the middle-aged Muslim woman who's got her hand in her purse?
00:26:52.000We've been doing it since the beginning of time.
00:26:54.000And we've tried to overcome it so that we don't treat people badly on an individual level for no reason.
00:27:01.000But when you see a red flag, you have to say something.
00:27:03.000Islam isn't the only red flag, but it puts you in the box of if there are more red flags, at least you've checked that initial box.
00:27:10.000Because we're looking for, again, people who are more likely to commit terrorism, and Muslim terrorism is significantly more likely than Christian or Jewish terrorism.
00:27:58.000But, you know, we have to create this alternative reality for ourselves.
00:28:02.000And the media, by the way, are part of all of this.
00:28:04.000If you believe that the media actually care about keeping you safe, you're out of your mind.
00:28:09.000I saw the most insane thing that I've ever seen happen last Friday, talking about just the media incompetence and the media willingness to compromise your safety.
00:28:16.000Last Friday, the media went to the apartment of Syed Farouk and Tashfeen Malik.
00:28:24.000And apparently they went up to the apartment and they asked the landlord could they have access to the apartment and he being an idiot said yes.
00:28:31.000And so what then happened is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen on live television.
00:28:36.000Here's what it looked like on live television when these reporters literally took a crowbar and broke into the apartment with the landlord's permission
00:28:43.000And started rifling through evidence from the terrorist apartment, despoiling it, getting rid of fingerprints, getting rid of evidence that could actually have linked these terrorists to other terrorists, perhaps.
00:30:12.000That's shredded documents from terrorists sitting right there, and now none of it can be used as evidence because you've had media members in there.
00:30:19.000And if somebody messed around with the shredded documents, forget about being able to put them back together if any of the members of the media started filing through all of that.
00:30:37.000And watching this on live television and recognizing how little these people care about your safety.
00:30:42.000These are the same people who are telling you that racial profiling and behavioral profiling, because racial profiling is really not what it's about.
00:30:51.000They're Muslims of every conceivable race.
00:30:53.000It's not even religious profiling because it sort of depends on the brand of Islam that you're practicing.
00:30:57.000And there are plenty of people who are born into Muslim families who are completely irreligious.
00:31:01.000It is behavioral profiling, and behavioral profiling is something that everybody does.
00:31:05.000And it is, in fact, birthplace profiling, because depending on where you're coming from, it may have more or less of an impact on your likelihood of being a terrorist, because even Muslim populations in London are not quite the same as Muslim populations from, for example, Syria.
00:32:35.000She's a lot more talented than Miley Cyrus, which is not saying much.
00:32:37.000I mean, that's like saying that you're more talented than a dog turd, but...
00:32:40.000In any case, she is not an untalented person, but in the last couple of years she's really decided she's going to take ownership over her public image.
00:32:47.000And the way that she did this is she launched her pop album, and on her pop album she sort of mixed up the whole nerdy white girl routine with, also I'm a little bit naughty.
00:32:56.000And that was her new routine, was nerdy white girl who's a little bit naughty.
00:32:59.000And so her entire album was a little bit naughty stuff.
00:33:02.000And then she decided, I'm going to show that I'm really a Hollywood person.
00:33:06.000And so I have a whole new slate of BFFs, right?
00:33:08.000I have a bunch of people who I'm new best friends with, and they're all Hollywood.
00:34:02.000The person who taps you on the shoulder and turns you into a magical feminist.
00:34:06.000To get your feminine credibility in line, you have to go to the great pope of feminism, Lena Dunham, and she taps you on the shoulder, and you pretend to be friends with her, and she's your chubby friend, and then she tells you that you're a feminist.
00:34:19.000Lena Dunham, by the way, is happy to do this for anyone, because she's so desperate for attention and love.
00:34:23.000Right now she's hanging out with a cute girl, and she's the uggo, and Taylor Swift gets to
00:35:46.000But it's all like, oh, we're gonna go to parties together, we love each other, and we hang out together, and we have our little parties, and we drink our- we drink our- our- our pathetic girly drinks on our little boats, and we jump off the boats together, and it's just like so much fun.
00:36:01.000And what's amazing is that because our society has said that nudity equals maturation, they are, of course, mature women.
00:36:06.000Now, a real mature woman would be looking to, I don't know, get married and settle down and have a family at this point, but I know that's sexist.
00:36:12.000By the way, I think a mature man is why it's not sexist.
00:36:15.000I think a mature man would be looking to settle down and get married and have a family and become a responsible human being at this point.
00:36:20.000I think if you're 30 years old and you're a man and you're not thinking of getting married, that's probably because you're a loser.
00:36:25.000And the same thing is true of these women, but they're convincing a whole generation of women that the real fun to be had is with your girlfriends, listening to Taylor Swift songs.
00:36:34.000Oh, we're broadening our audience, don't you see?
00:36:36.000It's all part of the marketing machine.
00:36:38.000The more single... Not a lot of married girls listen to Taylor Swift.
00:36:40.000Not a ton of married women who are... That's not her chief audience.
