Joe Rogan Experience #993 - Ben Shapiro

Do we have enough love for tomorrow? We don't have tomorrow. Good. I'll bring
it in this week
Ben Shapiro, we are live the people have spoken
Well, thank you for having me. Thanks for being here, man. I became a fan of
yours when I watched you
With what the fuck is his name the CNN asshole Piers Morgan. Oh, that was
glorious
When you went after him the same with the Sandy Hook thing like right away
immediately
Like it was just glorious and you could tell that he didn't know what to do
with it
And and he literally said how dare you which is what I say to people all the
time when I'm joking
Yeah, exactly as one of my friends had look like he was clutching his pearls
He was really pissed. He was really pissed. It was a two-segment interview and
during the break
I said to him thanks so much for having me on he kind of growled at me. He was
not a happy camper
Yeah, well you crushed him and the other one of my other favorite ones was
Chelsea Handler crushing him
Where she was literally talking like you don't even talk to me in the break and
the break you're checking your phone and checking Twitter
And you could tell he was like oh, no
He just you know, he came from that weird British tabloid environment and you
found out that the company that he worked for did really creepy shit
Like check people's voicemails they hacked into people's people who are dead
and they gave the family false hope because they had checked the
The voicemail and they found out that someone checked in they thought oh, maybe
she's still alive
And then we made him a host unlike the X Factor and brought him on CNN is
awesome
I just don't make decisions all around why CNN thought that we have this fascination
with British people
Yes, if you have a British accent, we automatically add 20 points to your IQ.
Yeah, they're great for like selling mops late night and nonstick cookware
And I enjoyed John Oliver. I think John Oliver is great. Apparently he has
You know a lot of people think of all British act accents as being the same
But he has like a blue-collar British accent, but I don't I can't tell the
difference too much except when I'm watching my fair lady or something
Well, I could tell people from like Manchester and stuff like that because they
you know
They have like this sort of like way of talking so fast that all the words kind
of pile into each other but uh
Yeah, Oliver's his his recent one Eddie Bravo got really mad at it. The recent
one about Alex Jones is fucking hilarious
Well, it's almost impossible to make something not funny about Alex Jones. Yeah,
you got to meet Alex have you met him?
I don't know that given how much I've made fun of him. Oh, I'm fine. Oh really?
Yeah, he's like a strip off his shirt and start
He might but he'd calm down. You're a good guy. We're basically on the same
team
He would come around
If you remember the Piers Morgan thing happened two nights after Alex was on Piers
Morgan
So Piers was like flying high because he had that whole debate with Alex and
Alex did his shtick and it was really over the top
And he thought I was gonna be like Alex Jones part two and it was gonna be Piers,
you know succeeds again
And and Alex and I could not be more different
No, you're very rational and very reasonable and you know, we've been talking
about some of your debates
There's not a lot of guys like you out there, which is really interesting. It's
like you're a fast-thinking fast-talking very smart young guy
Who's also a conservative like there's not a lot of those out there and this is
one of the things that we're encountering today is there
Especially in college campuses. There's this very strange
cooperation between the left and the right to the point where the right is like
almost
Non-existent or at least doesn't have any representation and they're actively
shunning that representation
Like they're pushing people out. I know what's going on with you and Berkeley
has that been written has that been resolved?
Yeah, I think that so Berkeley after the publicity they said they're gonna
explain to people if they don't know the whole story
Yes, so UC Berkeley if you recall last year
I actually spoke there before any of this happened
I spoke at UC Berkeley in like April 2016 and then Milo was supposed to speak
there and he actually went there and there was a riot where Antifa
Infiltrated the the student community and there are all these pictures of them
bombing things and you know blowing up cars and
They're setting them in a fire at least and throwing things at windows and so
Berkeley shut down that event for safety reasons
Then Ann Coulter wanted to speak there and they basically used what they call
time place and manner restrictions to stop her
They kept saying well, we have safety problems
We can't figure out how to do the event and in the end. They just canceled it
because they didn't have security and then
Young America's foundation which sponsors me to go to a lot of these campuses
They said we want Shapiro to come and again
I spoke to like a year and a half ago and they gave them two and a half months
advance and
Berkeley said well, we have no venues available and so this seemed to be
another cover for we're not going to allow a conservative on campus because
There are security problems, so we made that public and then Berkeley said no
no no
Well, we'll make sure that you get in they gave us an alternative venue
And they even said they'd cover the security fee because they didn't like the
bad publicity
Oh, well, that's nice. Yeah, so that should be good. Well, you know what
happened with Jordan Peterson yesterday? Yes
yeah, just yesterday Jordan Peterson was banned from YouTube and
YouTube has a new policy
That it's very it's very weirdly worded, but apparently they're allowed to
Block and restrict any kind of videos that are about religion or that could be
deemed offensive, which is almost everything
Yeah, that's right anything that's remotely if I mean anything that's
interesting is going to be offensive to somebody so it won't be monetized
It also won't be in the remote videos of interest or I know they did this to
Prager University as well
They'd blocked like 10 of their videos a couple of months ago. Yeah, so it's it's
yeah
I mean this is nasty stuff and listen YouTube's a private company
They have the right to do what they want, but don't proclaim that you're a free
speech promoting institution
If you're gonna block people like Jordan Peterson for God's sake well the
problem is they're not blocking things that are
Offensive to other people there's they're not blocking certain things that are
representing Islam in a positive light. That's right
There's there's a lot of weirdness with this left-wing choice of what to censor
and whatnot to censor and it's it's not just dangerous
It's also bad for the whole idea of being a progressive or being a liberal
because it makes you look
It makes them look really petty and really weird and really
Resistant and hesitant to actually have real debate yeah for sure and this is
one of the reasons why I'm very meticulous in my terminology about people who
are on the other side of the
I'll actually separate people who are liberal from people who are leftist so
when there are people who try to ban speech
I call them leftist and if they are not interested in banning speech, then they're
liberal meaning they they want bigger government
They disagree with me on politics, but they're still willing to have a
conversation. They want an open forum
People who are on the hard left think that it's actually an insult to their
identity to disagree with them
And this is what I experience sometimes on campuses, you know Cal State LA
where there's a near riot when I speak or University of Wisconsin where people
storm the
Stage and stand in front of it and won't leave or Penn State where we have
again another near violent incident over at Penn State or DePaul where they
actually banned me outright so
Sometimes you get this routine from people who think that they conflate their
viewpoint with their identity and then if you have a different viewpoint
You're denying them their humanity and it's like no, I'm not denying you here.
I just think what you're saying is dumb
Like that's a very good point. That's a very good point is that they have their
identity completely connected with their ideology
And when you oppose these people when you have these debates of these people
What's really fascinating is the level of hysteria that gets reached while you're
staying calm?
Yeah, that's what I've noticed is is that there's a ton of you know, I tend to
keep relatively calm just as a human being and
Very often when I'm debating someone you see them getting more and more and
more emotional and people on the right love this because of course
It's the triggering of the snowflakes right the easiest thing in the world to
do is trigger some idiot college kid
Who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground and it what's what's hard to
do is actually discuss issues with somebody who's intelligent enough to make
the to make the point
But it's it the level of hysteria on the campuses has really increased I mean
I now have to travel with two members of security to every campus just because
you don't know which campus is going to go off
I never had to travel security before it's the weirdest thing in the world
How long ago this start happening? Well February of 2016 is when I started
traveling with security so I spoke at University of Missouri
They remember they had a big blow-up at University of Missouri with Black Lives
Matter
Taking over campus offices and suggesting there was some sort of big racism
problem in Mizzou, which is just ridiculous
And so they flew me and I did a speech there and then the next time I spoke was
Cal State LA and they brought in a couple of security guys
And I was like what do I need security for and I'm just speaking on a campus
who cares we get to the campus and they had already tried to cancel my speech
because of security
And I said I'm coming anyway so tough I had to be escorted in by 20 armed
police officers
The police had to sneak the students in two-by-two into the theater they told
them that until I left the campus they couldn't actually let the kids out of
the theater because they were afraid that if they let the kids out of the
theater they'd be attacked as they got as they were released
It was that one was pretty wild so after that it was like okay well I guess the
security is necessary
Wow what is shifting like what what is what is ramping things up
I think the identity politics is ramping things up so I think there's a new
mentality out there
It's this intersectionality politics on the left that says that there are a
bunch of people trying to get into the theater
The police had to sneak the students in two by two into the theater they told
them that until I left the campus they couldn't actually let the kids out of
the theater because they were afraid that if they let the kids out of the
theater they'd be attacked as they got as they were released it was that one
was pretty wild so after that it was okay well I guess the security is
necessary
Wow what is shifting like what what is what is what is ramping things up
I think the identity politics is ramping things up so I think there's a new
mentality out there it's this intersectionality politics on the left that says
that there are a bunch of victim groups basically right there blacks and Hispanics
and gays and Jews and Asians they're all victim groups and we get those all all
those people together to attack the system because the system is keeping them
down and if you and there's a hierarchy among these victim groups and if you
are a straight white male you're at the very very bottom of the hierarchy in
terms of viewpoints that should be acknowledged because you're the creators of
this vast white supremacist system
that keeps down everybody else if you're a black woman you're near the top
