INTO CIVILIAN LIFE.
BRIAN?
BRIAN: ALL RIGHT.
THANKS.
PROTESTERS SHUT DOWN DURING
BEN SHAPIRO'S SPEECH AT
UNIVERSITY.
SUPPORTERS OF THE
CONSERVATIVE COMMENTATOR
QUICK TO FIRE BACK FOR A
CHANGE.
[SHOUTING]
[CHANTING U.S.A.]
BRIAN: SHEPARD SHOT BACK AT
STUDENT GROUPS WHO SAID THEY
WOULD BE TRIGGERED BY HIS
TALK ON CAMPUS.
>> NO THANKS TO THE LEFT WHO
SOUGHT TO HAVE THIS
CANCELLED.
APPARENT FEAR OF MY WRETCHED
EVIL BAN ME TO SUPPORT ITS ITS
STUDENTS FROM ME.
LOOK AT ME.
[LAUGHTER]
SAYING THINGS.
BRIAN: EDDIE SONG IS A
CORRESPONDENT BOSTON
UNIVERSITY STUDENT AT THE
SPEECH LAST NIGHT AND JOINS
US NOW.
EDDIE, THIS WAS NOT A
SURPRISE.
THE PROTESTERS KIND OF TELL
GRAPHED WHAT THEY WERE GOING
TO DO, RIGHT?
>> OH YEAH, OF COURSE.
BRIAN: WHAT WAS IT LIKE IN
THERE?
>> I MEAN, BEN SHAPIRO MADE
SOME VERY GOOD POINTS ON
FREEDOM AND SLAVERY IN THE
VERY BEGINNING.
HOWEVER, I MEAN, 15 MINUTES
DURING WHEN THE SPEECH FIRST
STARTED YOU SEE THESE GROUP
OF PROTESTERS, THEY STOOD
UP.
SHOUTED, BLEW THEIR WHISTLE
AND.
THEY WEREN'T THERE TO LEARN.
THEY WERE ONLY THERE TO
DISRUPT.
BRIAN: HAD YOU GROUPS THERE
AND VERY RARE FOR THEM NOT
TO BE OVERWHELMED.
USUALLY THEY PULL A SPEAKER
OUT AND CANCEL THE SPEAKS.
YOU SAY THEY ARE SCARED OF
THOUGHTS PRECIOUS.
NOT YOU, NOT THEM.
>> I THINK BU STUDENTS DO
EXPERIENCE SOME SOCIAL
BACKLASH.
I BELIEVE THAT BOSTON
UNIVERSITY, THEY DID DO SOME
VERY GOOD THINGS FOR BU
STUDENTS IN TERMS OF FREE
SPEECH.
HOWEVER, THE SOCIAL BACKLASH
IS JUST ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
BRIAN: WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
DEFINING AMERICA.
IS HE TAKING ON THE RED HOT
ISSUE OF SLAVERY.
HOW DID HE PUT IT IN
PERSPECTIVE FOR THAT MADE
SENSE?
>> WELL, HE BASICALLY
EXPLAINED HOW AMERICA WASN'T
FOUNDED ON SLAVERY.
IT WAS FOUNDED ON FREEDOM.
AS WE CAN SEE.
WE DON'T SEE SLAVERY.
WE SEE FREEDOM.
THAT'S WHAT THE FOUNDING
FATHERS INTENDED US TO HAVE.
BRIAN: NEVER EMBRACING IT.
ALWAYS SAYING IT'S HORRIFIC.
BUT, SADLY, IT WAS PART OF
SOCIETY BACK THEN IN THAT
ERA AT THAT TIME.
AND 600,000 LOST THEIR LIVES
TO FIGHT TO MAKE SURE WE RID
OUR COUNTRY OF IT.
>> YES.
>> SO YOU FEEL THAT MESSAGE
GOT THROUGH?
>> I REALLY THINK SO.
AT LEAST TO A MAJORITY OF
THE CROWD.
SOME STUDENTS WERE JUST NOT
THERE TO LISTEN.
THEY WERE JUST THERE TO
PROTEST, WHICH IS FINE WITH
ME.
BRIAN: ALL RIGHT.
THANKS SO MUCH.
THAT'S THE INSIDE STORY OF
