00:00:00.000 I have a shockingly audacious proposition on today's show.
00:00:03.000 Here's the proposition. 1.00
00:00:05.000 If we need to tell you, a new migrant, not to rape people or abuse children or mutilate girls, we shouldn't allow you or people who agree with you into our civilization. 1.00
00:00:15.000 I know this is a shocking idea, right? 1.00
00:00:18.000 But if you say those kinds of things, you will indeed be called racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, perhaps. 0.75
00:00:24.000 And that's why, en masse, we have now imported people who hate our civilization. 0.58
00:00:28.000 And then we have to ask those same people super duper nicely, like, please, please, would you?
00:00:33.000 Please abide by basic standards of human decency. 1.00
00:00:36.000 We'll get to the latest in the UK, where the Home Office is now having to inform new third world migrants that they could, could they please just stop being quite so rapey? 1.00
00:00:44.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show. 1.00
00:00:52.000 So, pretty good indicator somebody should not come to your house for dinner. 0.89
00:00:55.000 They arrive at your house, they knock on the door, and as you open the door, you say, Please don't rape my wife or daughter. 0.88
00:01:01.000 You made a bad mistake.
00:01:02.000 You should not have invited this person to your house for dinner.
00:01:06.000 I know this is pretty baseline.
00:01:08.000 If I have to tell you not to be rapey, you probably shouldn't be at my house.
00:01:11.000 But in the West, we now consider this rude.
00:01:13.000 And so we just roll out the red carpet.
00:01:16.000 So, the UK Home Office put out a brochure, apparently for new migrants.
00:01:23.000 It's unbelievable, this brochure.
00:01:24.000 Okay, this brochure, according to the Daily Mail, was a seven page booklet, and it was published in the wake of a series of horrific rapes and sex attacks by asylum seekers. 0.97
00:01:34.000 We don't know where they come from.
00:01:35.000 We don't know.
00:01:36.000 It's a mystery.
00:01:37.000 It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma. 0.92
00:01:39.000 So here is what this asylum brochure recommends In the UK, both people must say yes to sex. 0.84
00:01:49.000 This is called consent. 0.70
00:01:51.000 If you have sex with someone who does not want to, this is called rape.
00:01:53.000 Rape is a serious crime.
00:01:55.000 It is still rape if you are married to the person or in a relationship they agreed once.
00:01:59.000 But change their mind.
00:02:00.000 If you have sex without consent, you could go to prison.
00:02:03.000 This will affect your asylum claim.
00:02:06.000 Hey, that is slide number one.
00:02:08.000 So, just information. 1.00
00:02:09.000 Consent is where you don't get to rape people.
00:02:13.000 Two, child abuse is a serious crime in the UK.
00:02:16.000 Child abuse is against the law.
00:02:17.000 You must never physically hurt a child.
00:02:20.000 Have sex or sexual contact with a child under 16. 0.52
00:02:24.000 Deny a child food, clothes, shelter, or care. 1.00
00:02:26.000 Cut or harm a girl's genitals. 1.00
00:02:29.000 Notice female genital mutilation. 1.00
00:02:30.000 Welcome to our country. 1.00
00:02:31.000 Please don't cut the clitoris off your baby. 1.00
00:02:34.000 Great job, UK. 1.00
00:02:35.000 You're doing great.
00:02:37.000 It's all awesome.
00:02:39.000 Don't worry, there's more.
00:02:40.000 It is illegal to harass people.
00:02:42.000 In the UK, everyone has the right to feel safe in public.
00:02:45.000 You must never make sexual comments to strangers.
00:02:48.000 Approach someone repeatedly if they are not interested.
00:02:51.000 Follow someone or block their path.
00:02:54.000 If you do this, you might be arrested.
00:02:58.000 Also, quote, in the UK, men and women are equal.
00:03:01.000 And then I love the graphic.
00:03:02.000 The graphic is men and then a woman wearing a hijab, which, as we'll get to, You know, like historically speaking and in current day, a little controversial given the fact that many women are not wearing hijab voluntarily.
00:03:14.000 Well, they say in the UK, men and women are equal.
00:03:17.000 So, welcome to the UK.
00:03:19.000 Try not to rape anyone.
00:03:21.000 You're doing great, UK.
00:03:22.000 You're doing awesome.
00:03:25.000 Now, why would they have to do this?
00:03:26.000 Why would they have to issue such a booklet?
00:03:28.000 Hmm?
00:03:29.000 Hmm?
00:03:29.000 It's a mystery.
00:03:30.000 Why?
00:03:32.000 Why?
00:03:32.000 Well, Ayan Hirsi Ali, herself a refugee from a Muslim country, who ended up then having to become a refugee from Europe because she was targeted for being.
00:03:40.000 Anti radical Islam.
00:03:43.000 She has a book called Pray that came out a few years ago, P R E Y, about the violent predations of young Muslim men arriving in Europe en masse.
00:03:54.000 And as she points out, between 2009 and 2021, almost 3 million people arrived illegally in Europe, a majority from Muslim countries.
00:04:02.000 Two thirds of them were male, 80% were under the age of 35.
00:04:06.000 And unsurprisingly, the rates of rape and sexual assault skyrocketed in pretty much every European country.
00:04:13.000 In some countries, like Denmark and England, they went up a lot, roughly doubling in the case of Denmark.
00:04:19.000 In Denmark, non Western immigrants and their descendants account for about two fifths of rape convictions and between a quarter and a third of groping convictions, even though they are less than 13% of the population.
00:04:28.000 In Germany, asylum seekers constituted only 1% or 2% of the population from 2015, but they made up nearly 12% of suspects for sex crimes by 2018, and they were responsible for 16.3% of grievous sex crimes like rape. 0.81
00:04:42.000 So it turns out when you import lots of people from countries that don't respect women, You're going to vastly increase rates of violation of women and also your generalized Western standards.
00:04:51.000 So, again, this doesn't mean all migrants are rapists or that all migrants are doing terrible things.
00:04:55.000 But when you bring in large numbers of people who believe things that are antithetical to Western ideals, many of those people will commit crimes by your standards.
00:05:03.000 And those are only the crimes you know about, by the way.
00:05:04.000 Again, there have been some pretty highly publicized cases of this.
00:05:08.000 You remember that there have been Christmas markets, not only that have been attacked by terrorists, but also there have been Christmas events where women are being groped en masse or raped in Europe. 0.99
00:05:18.000 And that is happening for a reason. 0.60
00:05:20.000 When you import a bunch of people who don't like the West and don't agree with their standards, they might Continue to do those things no matter how many nice brochures you put out about please don't mutilate your child and please don't rape people. 0.90
00:05:32.000 Again, the first sign the person should not be in your country is you have to tell them please don't rape people. 0.86
00:05:36.000 That is sign number one. 0.98
00:05:37.000 It's a red flag, shall we say.
00:05:39.000 Now, again, unfortunately, not all people all over the world believe like you do.
00:05:44.000 Probably the single biggest problem in politics generally is your projection of your own mindset onto everyone else. 0.62
00:05:52.000 Most of the world does not agree with the West when it comes to its treatment of women. 0.58
00:05:57.000 This is why it's always ironic when you see European women who are stumping for Muslim men in radical Muslim countries.
00:06:05.000 Like, do you know what they think of you?
00:06:08.000 Are you aware of this?
00:06:09.000 Chickens for KFC in many of these cases.
00:06:13.000 There is a UN survey that was done some years back of more than 4,000 men in Morocco, Egypt, the Palestinian areas, and Lebanon.
00:06:22.000 And it found that between one third and two thirds of men admitted to sexually harassing women in public.
00:06:28.000 Axios reported at the time of the nearly 5,000 men surveyed, between 31% in Lebanon and 64% in Egypt admitted to having sexually harassed women and girls in public from ogling to stalking to rape.
00:06:41.000 When asked about it, by the way, they said that they did it for fun.
00:06:44.000 And also, the majority of them blamed the women.
00:06:47.000 So, again, not super surprising.
00:06:50.000 It's more on this in a moment.
00:06:51.000 First, there's a point every night when I am officially done.
00:06:53.000 The show is done, the emails are done, the kids are asleep.
00:06:56.000 Nobody needs anything from me for at least the next six hours.
00:06:59.000 And getting into bed at that moment is Great.
00:07:01.000 But getting into a comfortable bed makes it so much better.
00:07:05.000 This is so true.
00:07:06.000 I get in bed, I pull up my Bolt and Branch blankets, and I am so happy.
00:07:10.000 It's like the best point in the day right before you go to sleep.
00:07:12.000 Everybody's doing well, everybody's cool, and you're about to get a good night's sleep.
00:07:16.000 That's what Bolt and Branch gets right.
00:07:17.000 Their sheets are made from 100% organic cotton and woven for airflow.
00:07:21.000 So they're naturally breathable without synthetic cooling technology or chemical treatments.
00:07:24.000 94% of Bolt and Branch customers say their sheets get softer with every single wash.
00:07:28.000 That's unusual because most things you own slowly get worse.
00:07:31.000 These apparently get better.
00:07:33.000 Once you upgrade the sheets, And maybe add the pillows, comforter, or waffle blanket.
00:07:36.000 The entire bed feels different.
00:07:37.000 I'm a big fan of the waffle blanket, by the way.
00:07:39.000 It's a very simple luxury.
00:07:40.000 At the end of a very long day, you get into bed and you think, this was a good decision.

00:07:57.000 New York Times readership among young Americans has cratered, which is great because nobody wants the woke skull lecturer dressed up in a journalism costume.
00:08:04.000 Here's the thing while legacy media hemorrhages trust across the board, Prager U is providing hope for the rising generation.
00:08:10.000 Millions of students log on every day for five minute videos on economics, history, faith, and freedom that teach the truth, not what CNN and others want young people to believe.

00:08:39.000 They're basically a sister company.
00:08:40.000 We used to share office space with them.
00:08:42.000 They're awesome.
00:08:42.000 PragerU is delivering messages that young people need to hear every single day at scale to legitimately millions of people.

00:08:59.000 There's a pupil from 2013, a very comprehensive pupil, some 38,000 Muslims in 80 countries.
00:09:04.000 And again, the stats were pretty shocking, particularly when it came to the treatment of women.
00:09:10.000 So here was one of the questions Should women decide if they wear a veil?
00:09:14.000 Meaning that is it voluntary or not?
00:09:17.000 So in some areas, people said, sure, women should decide. 0.64
00:09:21.000 This would be like Azerbaijan or Turkey or Uzbekistan.
00:09:26.000 Most men surveyed, actually, most men and women, right? 0.72
00:09:30.000 Like the majority of people surveyed said, yes, the woman should decide.
00:09:33.000 But sub Saharan Africa, somewhere between 29 and 48% said that women should decide.
00:09:40.000 And the vast majority said, no, The woman goes into the burqa or the hijab, regardless of what she thinks.
00:09:46.000 In Iraq, Jordan, and Egypt, only 45% said the woman should decide.
00:09:50.000 In Afghanistan, just 30% said the woman should decide. 0.99
00:09:54.000 How about. 1.00
00:09:56.000 Must a wife always obey her husband? 0.97
00:09:58.000 In the Middle East and North Africa, that answer is 80 to 93% yes. 0.98
00:10:03.000 In Southeast Asia, the number was 90 to 96% saying yes. 0.77
00:10:08.000 How about should a wife have the right to divorce her husband?
00:10:10.000 Now, again, in Islam, divorce is not forbidden.
00:10:12.000 So we're not talking here about Catholic standards of divorce.
00:10:15.000 Okay, so the question is for Muslims should a wife have the right to divorce her husband?
00:10:19.000 So in certain more European areas like Albania's in Europe, 84% say yes.
00:10:24.000 In Turkey, 85% said yes.
00:10:25.000 This is 2013.
00:10:27.000 In the Palestinian areas, only one third said yes.
00:10:30.000 In Pakistan, 26% said yes.
00:10:31.000 And in Egypt and Jordan, 22% said yes.
00:10:33.000 So you are talking about areas of the world where it turns out they do not treat women particularly well.
00:10:39.000 Women in many of these areas are treated as chattel.
00:10:42.000 In some of these countries, marriage is legal to children.
00:10:44.000 In Saudi Arabia, it is still legal to children.
00:10:48.000 And then illegally, many men are still marrying children in a lot of these countries. 0.51
00:10:53.000 So when you import a lot of people from areas that disagree with Western standards of conduct and morality to your countries, You should not be super surprised that they are doing things that you consider criminal.
00:11:04.000 This is not a shock in any way, shape, or form. 0.82
00:11:08.000 And again, failure to understand the standards is one of the ways that you allow yourself to be overtaken. 0.85
00:11:15.000 One of the themes of our brand new movie, Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels, coming September 16th, that a society that, in Gad Sad's phrase, is suicidally empathetic tends to allow in people who are perfectly willing to turn the standards of the society against it and destroy it. 0.57
00:11:30.000 And again, you're seeing that right here in the United States. 0.89
00:11:34.000 You're seeing this pretty much every day in Dearborn, where it seems like every day there's some sort of confrontation. 0.65
00:11:39.000 Again, the mayor of Dearborn literally told people that if you don't want to name a street after a Hezbollah member in America, that you should actually not be in Dearborn. 0.68
00:11:52.000 You should just leave the city.
00:11:55.000 Does this seem like a Western standard to you precisely? 0.76
00:11:59.000 Hezbollah, you know, bombed.
00:12:03.000 The embassy in Beirut, including many Americans.
00:12:06.000 So I just feel it's quite inappropriate. 1.00
00:12:09.000 You are an Islamophobe.
00:12:10.000 And although you live here, I want you to know, as mayor, you are not welcome here.
00:12:14.000 And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city because you are not somebody who believes in coexistence.
00:12:23.000 You don't believe in coexistence if you don't want a street named after a terrorist, is how it works in Dearborn.
00:12:27.000 That'd be Abdullah Hamoud, the mayor of Dearborn, and chief constituency for Abdul El Sayed.
00:12:32.000 And of course, you have imams all over Dearborn who are constantly railing in terms of radical Islam. 0.95
00:12:38.000 Here's a clip of one Dearborn imam calling for the deaths of Christians and Jews and Americans to boot. 0.99
00:12:45.000 It says, Oh Allah, annihilate the Jews and the Christians. 1.00
00:12:49.000 Annihilate the Jews. 1.00
00:12:50.000 They are no match for you. 1.00
00:12:52.000 Oh, Allah count them and kill them one by one. 1.00
00:12:56.000 And do not spare a single one of them, O Lord of mankind. 0.99
00:13:00.000 So, again, import people who hate your civilization, and it turns out they might hate your civilization.
00:13:06.000 I know these are crazy, crazy thoughts.
00:13:08.000 They're crazy thoughts. 1.00
00:13:10.000 But Westerners are particularly self centered and stupid. 1.00
00:13:13.000 And this is why you have Western women traveling to places like Suta. 1.00
00:13:19.000 To chant free Palestine while men surround them who look like they would maybe prefer to have them at a Christmas market, shall we say? 0.53
00:13:29.000 Here is the thing your money, like the cash that you're holding in your hand right now, will be worth less than it is currently worth in about now.
00:13:38.000 And also, like now, because the reality is the federal government is constantly making paper money less worthwhile.
00:13:44.000 There are some assets, however, that actually appreciate in value.
00:13:47.000 A lot of those are hard assets.
00:13:48.000 This is why I like the idea of giving a young person a gold or silver coin.
00:13:52.000 It's not just a cool gift.
00:13:53.000 You're handing them their first little asset and potentially starting a conversation about saving, investing, and the difference between buying things and owning things.
00:13:59.000 And maybe that conversation gets you thinking about your own portfolio.
00:14:02.000 If physical gold or silver is something you've been considering, Golden Crest Metals makes it approachable.
00:14:06.000 They're a boutique firm with real people who know the business, transparent pricing, and widely recognized coins rather than private label products.
00:14:13.000 They'll send you a free investor kit explaining your options, including how gold and silver can be added to certain retirement accounts, plus a free, no obligation portfolio review.
00:14:21.000 Qualifying purchases can receive up to 25 grand in free silver.

00:14:32.000 Here is a clip of a woman who calls herself Barbie Gaza.
00:14:36.000 Her name is Anna Alkaldi.
00:14:38.000 She has 140,000 Instagram followers.
00:14:40.000 She went on the Gaza flotilla with Greta Thunberg.
00:14:43.000 She, by the way, says that Hamas didn't rape anybody on October 7th, of course.
00:14:47.000 And she said that one of the Israeli women who was released said she felt ugly because nothing was done to her.
00:14:52.000 I mean, again, she's a delight, this woman.
00:14:56.000 But. 1.00
00:14:57.000 People who hate your civilization are willing to use the idiots among you. 1.00
00:15:00.000 That is for sure. 1.00
00:15:01.000 Here she was in Ceuta, which again, there's still like several thousand migrants who crossed that border into Ceuta. 0.95
00:15:09.000 And the place has basically been turned into a trash heap. 0.99
00:15:12.000 Here is Barbie Gaza. 0.98
00:15:25.000 The genius is among us. 1.00
00:15:34.000 On her bare midriff. 1.00
00:15:36.000 Unbelievable. 0.99
00:15:37.000 Okay, but again, this is what the West is doing to itself.
00:15:39.000 Or we could just stop doing it.
00:15:41.000 And if you want a right wing upsurge, please continue to do this.
00:15:44.000 If you're on the left, please continue to do this.
00:15:47.000 Here's the thing they don't even keep stats for this sort of thing. 0.98
00:15:50.000 I'm talking about like rape, sexual assault, female genital mutilation. 0.71
00:15:54.000 If you try to go to the UK and find out even how many migrants are Muslim, they don't even keep that stat in the UK. 0.98
00:16:03.000 Because the West has basically decided.
00:16:05.000 That, in the name of the idea that all cultures are equivalent and all people have the same belief system, we are going to frontally lobotomize ourselves.
