Ben Shapiro was supposed to speak at Cal State University Los Angeles on Tuesday night, but the snowflakes at the school don t want him there. So what's the problem? Is it diversity? Or is it silence? And if so, what does it mean for the First Amendment rights of the students who were supposed to be represented by the YAF Foundation and the CSU L.A. student group? And what does that have to do with the Democratic presidential campaign? All that and much more on this episode of The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:09.000But chiefly, first and foremost, we're going to have to talk about the fact that the precious snowflakes over at Cal State University Los Angeles don't want me there.
00:00:31.000Let's start with when this thing was scheduled.
00:00:33.000This thing has been scheduled for at least two and a half months.
00:00:36.000So, two and a half months ago, the YAF, Young America's Foundation, the Fred R. Allen Lecture Series, they decided to sponsor me to go to ten campuses all around the country.
00:00:44.000And one of the groups that applied to have me come speak was the Young America's Foundation student group over at CSULA, California State University, Los Angeles.
00:00:54.000Now, I pay taxes in the state of California, which means I'm supporting all of these students to go to this second-rate school.
00:01:02.000And I decided, you know, obviously to go, and it was going to be a good event.
00:01:07.000We had people on the ground, kids were on the ground, putting up flyers.
00:01:10.000And as we've been reporting from time to time all throughout this process,
00:01:15.000There's been a lot of blowback from various folks on the left.
00:01:18.000So, for example, there's a professor named Robert Wide who threatened to wrestle students for sponsoring the event.
00:01:24.000He called them white supremacists because there's nothing white supremacists love better than orthodox Jews talking in public forums.
00:02:26.000So clearly, the academic credentialing over at CSULA is not particularly high.
00:02:30.000But, aside from that, we're going ahead with the event, they said there was going to be a protest.
00:02:35.000And fine, that's how this stuff tends to go.
00:02:38.000Well, late last night, I got a call from my friends over at Young America's Foundation.
00:02:43.000They have received an email from the president of the university.
00:02:47.000President of the university is a guy named William Covino, and here's what he wrote, quote,
00:02:51.000After careful consideration, I have decided that it will be best for our campus community if we reschedule Ben Shapiro's appearance for a later date so that we can arrange for him to appear as part of a group of speakers with differing viewpoints on diversity.
00:03:05.000Such an event will better represent our university's dedication to the free exchange of ideas and the value of considering multiple viewpoints.
00:03:12.000As nothing says free exchange of ideas and value of considering multiple viewpoints like canceling the guy who disagrees with you.
00:03:21.000A postponement that has not been rescheduled, no date was set, no suggested date was set, and it has to be in the context of other people who disagree with me.
00:04:43.000If you've never seen one episode of this show, or listened to one episode of this show, if you've never read anything I've ever written, if you've never watched a YouTube video about me,
00:04:52.000The only thing that you really need to know about my view of the world is in my only pinned tweet.
00:04:57.000I have one pinned tweet, and my pinned tweet says, So, you little precious snowflakes, you.
00:05:05.000I'm gonna come, and I'm gonna talk, and I'm gonna say things that are factual, and if you wanna come and make a fuss, that's your prerogative.
00:05:09.000Now, if you call the police, you're just proving my point.
00:05:12.000Which is that you care about diversity of skin color, but you are absolute fascists who want to shut down freedom of speech when people disagree with you.
00:05:19.000Which makes you a totalitarian jackass.
00:06:03.000Okay, so we'll bring you the latest on that as it develops.
00:06:06.000By the way, I'm hearing from my reporters over at Daily Wire that they've called up the university for comment about these professors, particularly this one threatening violence against the student, and we were told by a representative of the president of the university that that is a personal matter.
00:06:21.000So just to get this straight, it's a personal matter when a professor paid for by my tax dollars threatens students who don't agree with him, but I have to be banned from campus because they need a more diverse viewpoint.
00:06:32.000Again, that's called viewpoint discrimination under the Constitution.
00:07:47.000And then we head into a series of primaries that do not favor Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio.
00:07:52.000They favor Cruz more than Rubio, but they don't favor either.
00:07:54.000Trump is now leading in Ohio by five points, according to the latest poll over John Kasich, which means John Kasich has no reason for being in the race.
00:08:01.000He's behind Ted Cruz in Texas by eight points, 37 to 29.
00:08:04.000The problem is Texas is a proportional representation state.
00:08:08.000So what that means is that Trump ends up winning a bunch of delegates, even though he loses.
00:08:13.000In order for Cruz to trigger the winner take all provisions of the Texas primary system, he has to win above 50%.
00:08:19.000That's extraordinarily unlikely to happen.
00:08:21.000So this is a Trump could run the table here.
00:08:23.000It's very possible that Trump runs the table.
00:08:25.000So let's talk about where Trump is on policy.
00:08:54.000So here is Donald Trump talking to Tom Green about healthcare policy.
00:08:58.000Are you, it comes across, are you taking positions that you believe, and are you, or are you sort of, as things get heated, are you switching at the last minute?
00:09:06.000What are we to make of all this this week?
00:09:08.000Well, on the mandate, if you look at the mandate, we had a situation where we were, Anderson Cooper, who's terrific by the way, did a terrific job, but we were talking over each other.
00:09:17.000Uh, I want, uh, we're gonna, we're gonna repeal and, and replace Obamacare.
00:09:22.000Obamacare is a total and complete disaster.
00:10:15.000If there are people who are just walking around and then they start coughing and they got the black lung pop and they just keel over and die in the middle of the street,
00:10:23.000I've been missing it, but he says he's going to stop people from dying in the middle of the street.
00:11:09.000It's a very important thing, and I feel very proud that I've been able to give so much education to people in health care, you know, to people that have worked for me.
00:11:16.000And they don't have to worry about Obamacare, my people.
00:11:19.000I treat them really good with health care.
00:11:32.000So immediately these, you know, conservatives, the one that wrote the 27 people wrote about Donald Trump not being conservative.
00:11:38.000Because honestly, I'm more conservative than most of those people in most ways.
00:11:43.000But I say it, and I say it in front of big crowds of 10, 15,000 people, I get standing ovations.
00:11:49.000Largely Republicans, I guess, but we're gonna have a lot of Democrats and a lot of Independents going over and we have a lot of them in our audiences.
00:11:55.000I say we cannot let people, we can't let people die in the middle of Fifth Avenue, in the middle of different streets all over the country, all over this country.
00:13:04.000No, I was made over the issue when you said that you would be neutral in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but you do see that Israel is the victim.
00:13:54.000But I think what you want to do is, the ultimate deal would be making a deal between Israel and the Palestinians, if we could do that, if that's possible, okay?
00:14:03.000I have been told by people, very high-level people, it's impossible.
00:14:06.000Because the hatred, especially on the one side, I won't even say one side.
00:14:44.000I've had people that are very smart and great negotiators involved in negotiations and that deal, they have not been able to do it.
00:14:50.000So again, he's saying he's pro-Israel and then he says it would be a great deal to make but it's a tough deal and I don't know if we can make the deal.
00:14:57.000First of all, it's not a question of a deal.
00:14:59.000I mean, for folks who have been watching the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for a while, it is a conflict between people who want to live and people who want those people to die.
00:15:19.000And the reason it doesn't matter is because of the next clip.
00:15:22.000Because here's Donald Trump on Hillary Clinton.
00:15:25.000Before we get to our next question, we were talking during the break about Hillary Clinton, and if a Republican wins, if you win, you'll have an attorney general.
00:15:34.000The statute of limitations will not have passed.
00:17:37.000Yeah, well, of course they should consider.
00:17:39.000I mean, he is president, and the Constitution says the president nominates, and the Constitution is there to put rules around our struggles for power.
00:17:45.000John Marshall was nominated by John Adams, like, after the election had already happened.
00:17:51.000And so I think it's totally fair, and the Republicans are going to probably get away with not doing anything.
00:17:55.000And to me, what it will do, and I don't know the effect of this, it'll polarize the bases.
00:17:59.000It'll create more conflict, it'll elevate the social issues on the Republican side, it'll elevate campaign finance on the Democratic side, and so probably have a polarizing effect on the election.
00:18:09.000If the candidacies are strong, it would probably help a Cruz and a Sanders, because the issues that would get elevated.
00:18:15.000So the Republicans, to avoid all of this, they should just go along and get along?
00:18:19.000And so people say, screw this guy, I'll go with the guy who's the most brash, and that's Donald Trump.
00:18:24.000The other problem for some of the other candidates in the race is because Trump is so brash, he actually has a strategy to what he's doing.
00:18:31.000And we can kind of gaze into how this strategy works.
00:18:34.000Clip 10 is the one that I'm looking for here.
00:18:35.000This is Ted Cruz talking about what he wants to do with illegal immigrants.
00:18:39.000And the reason that this is important, I'll explain in just a minute.
00:18:41.000Here's Ted Cruz last night with Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor.
00:18:45.000Here's a policy question I need you to define for me tonight.
00:18:47.00012 million illegal aliens here in America.
00:18:52.000Mr. Trump says he would deport them forcibly.
00:18:54.000The federal authorities would round them up and send them back home.
00:18:57.000It costs a lot of money, but he says it's worth it because we just can't allow the law to be broken this way.
00:19:03.000Would you round up 12 million illegal aliens here, and if so, how?
00:19:12.000Yes, we build a wall, we should triple the border patrol, and federal law requires that anyone here illegally that's apprehended should be deported.
00:19:19.000You know the biggest difference, Bill?
00:19:20.000Would you go look for them, though, as Mr. Trump would look for them to get them out?
00:19:23.000Would you do that if you were president?
00:19:42.000So Tommy O'Malley from County Cork in Ireland is over here, and he overstays his visa, and he's got a couple of kids, and he's settled into Long Island, and you, President Cruz, are going to send the feds to his house, take them out, and put them on a plane back to Ireland?
00:19:58.000Now, right now, we actually can't do that because we don't have a biometric exit-entry system, so we don't know when, in your example, Tommy goes home.
00:20:07.000Federal law requires... But then the court would probably, as I told Trump, the court would probably block you.
00:20:14.000Look, I'm sorry to cut you off, but I want to get to the meat of this.
00:20:17.000The federal courts would probably block you from doing that, taking Mr. O'Malley and putting him on the plane.
00:20:31.000So federal law right now requires a biometric exit entry system on visas.
00:20:35.000The Obama administration refuses to enforce federal law as president.
00:20:40.000I will put that in place so we will know the day someone overstays their visa and be able to send law enforcement to apprehend them and send them home.
00:20:48.000And the biggest difference, Bill, between Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and myself
00:20:53.000Is that both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio would allow those 12 million people to become U.S.
00:21:48.000So it's not a complete contradiction because here you have Cruz
00:21:51.000Saying that once you have biometric scanning systems, you'll know where people are so you won't have to go door-to-door or anything, but there's no question he took a much harsher tone now than he's taken five weeks ago.
00:22:00.000Cruz seems to think he can outflank Trump on immigration.
00:22:29.000Then we get to ISIS and he says we're just gonna either let Putin take care of them completely or we'll bomb them into submission completely.
00:22:36.000And then when it comes to immigration, he says, no Muslim immigrants of any sort, even if they're people who have been allies of the United States in Afghanistan, working with American soldiers, no way, no Muslims, no how, right?
00:22:48.000The next step is, he looks at the polls.
00:22:51.000And if the polls like what he's saying, he doubles down on it.
00:22:53.000And he says, I'm, not only do I not want people coming in illegally, I'm deporting everybody, and I'm the strongest on this issue, and I've always been the strongest on this issue, doesn't matter, I switched my position from three years ago, I'm now the strongest person on this issue.
00:23:06.000If the polls, by the way, say that they don't like what he says, he pretends he never said it.
00:23:10.000I never said I liked the individual mandate.
00:23:12.000I've always been against the individual mandate.
00:23:13.000Now, we need something that doesn't let people die on the streets, you know, like kind of an individual mandate, you might say, but you need something, right?
00:23:19.000So, he takes the poll, and then he adjusts.
00:23:22.000And then, if somebody tries to outflank him, he attacks.
00:23:25.000So, you have Cruz here trying to outflank him on immigration.
00:23:29.000I was always the harshest guy in the race.
00:23:32.000It's Ted Cruz, who's now trying to steal my thunder because he's copying me.
00:23:37.000So it's impossible to outflank him, except in an unpopular position, right?
00:23:41.000Because he's already looked at the polls.
00:23:42.000So what he does, he takes this position here, all the way out on the right, and then if the poll says, go to the center, he moves to the center, and if someone tries to outflank him, he knows he wins already because he's already moved to the popular position.
00:23:53.000And if the popular position is the hard right position, which he didn't come to ideologically, he just kind of spat it out, then he stays there and then no one can outflank him.
00:24:01.000So that's the way that Trump plays this political game.
00:24:04.000And he gets away with it because people like him, they sort of like his persona, they trust that he's being honest even when he's being wildly dishonest.
00:24:12.000And that's why Cruz is going to have trouble making this particular attack.
00:24:16.000Marco Rubio's tried a different tactic.
00:24:17.000Marco Rubio's tactic, senator from Florida, his tactic has been, I'm going to attack Trump for being unelectable.
00:24:35.000If we nominate someone that half of the Republican Party hates, we're going to be fighting against each other all the way to November.
00:24:41.000I don't care how much you may think they're funny, or how interesting they may sound, if we nominate someone that 40-50% of our party can't stand, we are going to lose.
00:24:53.000We are going to lose if we nominate somebody that the Republican Party can't stand, right?
00:24:57.000And there's only one problem, Marco, which is that half the party hates everybody.
00:25:01.000I mean, the Trump people, if you're the nominee, they're not gonna show up.
00:25:05.000The Trump people can't stand you, so this is a poor argument, too.
00:25:08.000Trump has a better electability argument than Rubio does, actually, because Trump at least says, here are the people I'm gonna bring in who you're not, right?
00:25:58.000He's not really even taking Rubio seriously.
00:25:59.000He's expending most of his effort right now on Cruz because the next set of primaries are in the South and tend to benefit Cruz more than Rubio.
00:26:06.000So here's Donald Trump playing the eligibility card.
00:26:08.000He's going to declare everybody in America ineligible except for Donald Trump.
00:26:41.000I mean, let people make their own determination.
00:26:43.000I know Ted is being now, I think he's being sued by somebody, having nothing to do with me, by the way, is being sued by somebody, uh, maybe it's in New York, having to do with eligibility.
00:26:52.000You're really not sure that Marco Rubio is eligible to run for president?
00:27:01.000Somebody said he's not and I retweeted it.
00:27:04.000I have 14 million people between Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and I retweet things and we start dialogue and it's very interesting and maybe that's why I have 14 million people and others have 200 million.
00:27:16.000So he says what he feels like saying, and he starts dialogue.
00:27:18.000I'm sure he retweeted some white supremacist somewhere, but started a dialogue, didn't it?
00:29:20.000So Bob Dole endorsing Marco Rubio in what has to be one of the most inspirational endorsement messages ever recorded for a presidential candidate.
00:29:27.000And then Rubio doubles down on his moderate credentials.
00:29:30.000He says that illegal immigration, yeah, I'm not going to try to out-tough Donald on illegal immigration.
00:29:35.000If we just clear up this whole, like, border mess, I think everybody will be okay with the illegal immigrants who are already here.
00:29:40.000Here's Marco Rub- Remember, this is the guy who says that he's not for amnesty anymore.
00:30:16.000Yeah, and first just to set the record straight, my parents came in 1956 before Castro.
00:30:20.000They came through the regular green card process.
00:30:23.000They applied and they entered the country the normal immigration way.
00:30:27.000They didn't have any sort of special status.
00:30:29.000And then as far as the 12 million that are here, look, I don't believe the American people support some sort of militaristic roundup of individuals and I don't think you could carry it out.
00:30:37.000The sort of tactics that would require would offend the American people.
00:30:40.000And the good news is we don't have to do it that way.
00:30:43.000If you secure our border, if you put in place mandatory e-verify, if you put in place a mandatory entry-exit tracking system, if we prove to the American people that illegal immigration is finally under control, I think the American people will respond in a very rational, reasonable, but responsible way.
00:30:57.000But what do you do with someone that fits certain criteria?
00:31:03.000What he's saying right now is, yes, amnesty, as soon as we've cleared up the border issue.
00:31:07.000Which, again, that does not make anybody feel real sanguine about Marco Rubio as president.
00:31:12.000Trump continues to dominate because he's the toughest guy because of his strategy because of all of this and he's been spending a lot of time
00:31:19.000Knocking out the only other contender who's Cruz.
00:31:22.000And so as I said, Cruz is trying to outright wing Trump instead of out masculine him, and it's failing dramatically.
00:31:27.000So yesterday, there was this video that was going around of Marco Rubio, and it's a video that was distributed by the Cruz campaign, by Rick Tyler, who was the Cruz communications director.
00:31:42.000Here's what that video looked like, and then we'll tell you the rest of the story.
00:31:45.000Meanwhile, we've actually got a little bit of video from the campaign trail.
00:31:49.000I know, Brett, you're familiar with it.
00:31:51.000Over the weekend, Saturday morning, at a Hampton Inn, Marco Rubio was going down to breakfast.
00:31:56.000He spotted Ted Cruz's father, Rafael, at breakfast, on the table next to him, a Bible.
00:32:02.000Also, a Cruz staffer right next to him.
00:32:05.000What happened then was somebody incorrectly subtitled what had happened, put it on YouTube, and then the Cruz campaign retweeted it and whatever, put it out there.
00:32:18.000But anyway, what was said was, Rubio said, got a good book there, all the answers are in there, especially in that one.
00:32:27.000But the way it was incorrectly subtitled, not many answers in that book, and now the Cruz campaign has had to apologize.
00:32:35.000Okay, so that's a good explanation of what happens in the video.
00:32:39.000It doesn't even make sense that somebody would think that's what Rubio said.
00:32:42.000Like, why would Rubio walk by and say, that's a great book, it's crap, right?
00:34:52.000So he's firing him because he doesn't meet the standards of the campaign.
00:34:57.000So did that help Cruz or did that hurt Cruz?
00:35:00.000Well, here's how the Rubio campaign responded.
00:35:05.000Ted Cruz, well here it is, Rick is really a good spokesman, who had the unenviable task of working for a candidate willing to do or say anything to get elected.
00:35:14.000There is a culture in the Cruz campaign, from top to bottom, that no lie is too big and no trick too dirty.
00:35:19.000Rick did the right thing by apologizing to Marco.
00:35:22.000It's high time for Ted Cruz to do the right thing and stop the lies.
00:35:25.000So in other words, Cruz does what Rubio wants, and Rubio proceeds to stab him right in the face with a piece of glass.
00:36:17.000By the way, Donald Trump, same day, same day, here's Donald Trump saying he never questioned Cruz's Christianity.
00:36:25.000Last week when the Pope made his remarks questioning your Christianity, you said, quote, no leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man's religion or faith.
00:36:35.000But just last week, you questioned Ted Cruz's Christianity several times in the course of the campaign.
00:36:41.000It might have even helped you win South Carolina.
00:36:43.000So why is it okay for you and not okay for the Pope?
00:36:46.000No, I never questioned Ted's anything having to do with his religion.
00:36:51.000I just said, you can't lie and hold up a Bible, and you can't do that.
00:37:37.000That's how this works in these primaries.
00:37:38.000You apologize, people are going to step
00:37:41.000On your throat and they are not going to step off your throat until you are done breathing.
00:37:45.000The biggest mistake that Ted Cruz made in this campaign, the biggest one, was not standing by as Trump rose and then riding his coattails a little bit and then turning on him.
00:37:56.000The part that was a mistake was apologizing to Ben Carson after Iowa.
00:37:59.000Because all that did is it said to all of the Trumps and the Rubios of the world, now we've got him.
00:38:04.000We can claim that he's an untrustworthy character, and because Cruz is, as we've said on the program, facially challenged, because he has bad physiognomy, because just the way his facial bones are constructed, he doesn't look trustworthy, so they just hammer that home over and over and over.
00:38:18.000So, for all the talk about Cruz gonna surge and overtake Trump, I don't see it.
00:38:22.000For all the talk about Rubio's gonna surge and overtake Trump, I don't see that one either.
00:38:27.000And that makes me sad, because I think that
00:38:30.000If Cruz had not spent so much time nailing Rubio as a wishy-washy guy, then maybe Rubio would have a better shot.
00:38:37.000I think if Rubio hadn't spent so much time giving Trump cover by hitting Cruz as dishonest, that wouldn't give Trump cover either.
00:38:43.000But now, I think that both candidates may be too severely damaged to really stop Trump in any real way.
00:38:49.000Okay, moving on to the Democratic side of the aisle.
00:38:51.000President Obama is... Understand, no matter how dishonest the people on the Republican side of the aisle are, and there's a lot of dishonesty, the Democrats take the cake.
00:39:00.000President Obama, over the weekend, was joking about naming a replacement for President Scalia.
00:39:05.000This is the National Governors Association dinner.
00:39:08.000President Obama looking thrilled in his tuxedo as the country goes down the tubes.
00:39:11.000And here he is, making fun of Justice Scalia's death, essentially.
00:40:16.000Where the nation should be treated to a consideration of constitutional philosophy, all it will get in such circumstances is a partisan bickering and political posturing from both parties and from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
00:40:34.000As a result, it is my view that if a Supreme Court justice resigns tomorrow or within the next several weeks, or resigns at the end of the summer,
00:40:47.000President Bush should consider following the practice of a majority of his predecessors and not, and not name a nominee until after the November election is completed.
00:42:36.000If you're ever into Doobie Brothers stuff and want to check it out, make sure that you have the early Doobie Brothers, not the late Doobie Brothers.
00:42:45.000For whatever reason, Michael McDonald sounds like he's singing through a dishrag.
00:42:52.000The only thing that he has in common with Tom Johnson is that they don't speak English.
00:42:56.000None of what they're saying is ever... I have no idea what the lyrics to this song are, but it's a good song.
00:43:01.000Okay, a quick thing that I hate, Louis Farrakhan is making headlines again, this anti-Semitic piece of human debris, head of the Nation of Islam.
00:43:08.000So he has said, and we'll save more discussion of this for tomorrow, but Beyonce, after her terrible Super Bowl performance, her racist Super Bowl performance, which we talked about at length, a lot of police departments around the country have said, we're not gonna provide free security for her concerts.
00:43:22.000If she wants to hire people, she can do it.
00:45:35.000Like, yes, slavery was evil and horrible.
00:45:40.000But the slaves were not getting paid $15 million a year.
00:45:43.000Like, when they were squeezing the buttocks of the slaves to check whether they were healthy or not way back when, that's because they were going to pay the slaveholder to sell this human being, which is an act of evil.
00:45:56.000In the NBA, you have people who are volunteering to run up and down a field and get paid vast quantities of money themselves.
00:46:02.000Like, nobody else is getting paid for that.
00:46:04.000But it all goes by the wayside because the vast American racist conspiracy has to continue according to Louis Farrakhan.
00:46:10.000And there are people who listen to this guy.
00:46:11.000There are people who listen to this nonsense.
00:46:13.000There are people who think that even aspects of American life where blacks are
00:46:19.000Inarguably, wildly successful, like the NBA, which is at least 75% black.
00:46:25.000This is some sort of discrimination against black people.
00:46:29.000And this is where you really create generations of black people who feel like they're being victimized.
00:46:35.000Because if you're even being victimized when you're winning, then how does it feel when you're losing?
00:46:40.000If Charles Barkley, you know you remember he posed for Sports Illustrated wearing like a neck chain at one point like he was a slave, it was very controversial.
00:46:48.000If even when you're making millions and millions of dollars a year you're still a slave, how's the guy in the inner city supposed to feel who's making ten bucks an hour working at McDonald's trying to struggle to get by?
