>> It took Ben Shapiro only a of couple of
minutes to move from a quote, from last night's
equality forum.
Beto O'Rourke talking about tax breaks for
religious organizations that discriminate
against certain Americans.
To threatening to gun down either Beto O'Rourke
or a truancy officer, were they to come to
his door in a circumstance he didn't like.
If that seems crazy, it's his show.
Let's watch.
>> In other words, if you're a church, you're
not infringing on anybody's rights.
You're just saying, you can't come here for
your marriage, go to the church down the street.
You're a religious school, you're saying,
listen, you wanna learn about gay rights?
Go to the public school down the street.
You're not infringing on anybody.
Your mere existence is an infringement according
to Beto O'Rourke.
The institutional existence is an infringement
on liberty, according to Beto O' Rourke, and
you must be shut down.
You want a culture war in this country?
You damn well have it Beto O' Rourke.
You want a culture war in this country?
You want this country to come apart at the
seams?
This is how you do it.
Cuz I promise you, if you come to tell me
that you're gonna indoctrinate my kids in
a particular policy.
And that I can't pull my kid out of the school
and send my kid to a school I wanna send to
to, that I can't go to the church or synagogue
that I want to go to.
And if you make that national policy, not
just California policy where I can move, but
national policy, people are not gonna stand
for that.
They're not going to stand for that.
And if you send a truant officer to remove
my child, I have two choices at that point,
right?
If I've no place to move, cuz you've now made
this national federal policy, I now have two
choices.
One is to leave the country out early, two
is to pick up a gun.
Those are the only choices that you have left
me.
And now people on the left, how could you
say stuff like that?
How could you be so extreme?
It's not extreme to defend the fundamental
rights the constitution was created in order
to protect.
Beto O'Rourke does not get to raise my child.
And if he tries, I will meet him at the door
with a gun, that is insane.
That is insane.
If he tries to remove my child from my home,
well he's not suggesting that.
Where do you think this goes?
>> Yeah, he wasn't suggesting that, or any
of that.
He wasn't, ten miles away from this dystopic
scenario that you crafted for yourself.
But the issue is that the logic kid, the facts
and feelings guy, he has realized that right
wing thought only has like two modes right
now.
If they realize that the country's moving
in a direction that they don't like, that
popular opinion is swinging on the issue away
from them, they threaten to start gunning
down people.
That's the go to move.
>> He's approaching this conversation as if
he's playing a video game, like he sitting
with his headset.
We're gonna blow it up and da ta da..
This is not a video game, bro.
This guy, first of all, I just need to state
the obvious.
He is the biggest joke to me.
I don't even call him Ben Shapiro.
His nickname is Fragile Frank.
And he is just this scared, shaking chihuahua
of a political hack, that plays on the fear
and the ignorance of some of these younger
crowds, that don't know much about politics.
They don't know much about what the constitution
is about.
What's outlined which that's interesting too,
the fact that, we're protecting the constitution,
you don't even understand the constitution
at all.
>> So I gotta break this down.
That was littered with lies.
I wanna explain what the reality is in a second.
But before we do that, the more important
point which is this, threats of violence is
totally unacceptable.
He's saying that he would meet a presidential
candidate at the door with a gun.
He's saying that if you send authorities,
including police to his door to enforce a
law, that he would instead murder them.
>> Because he's an intel.
>> Because look guys, coming to meet you with
a gun doesn't mean anything but, I will kill
you.
It doesn't mean, I'll come with a gun and
flowers.
Because there's not anything you could do
with a gun, except to kill someone.
So he's saying, I will not follow the law,
so I'm not surprised he supports Donald Trump.
And if you try to make me follow the law,
if a cop tries to make me, if a black guy
says, hey, I know my rights, the cops kicked
the living crap out of them.
Guys like Ben Shapiro say, hey, you should
have listened to the cops.
And here's Ben Shapiro saying, if a cop shows
up, and tells me what to do according to the
law that the whole country passed, I'm gonna
murder them.
>> Two options, leave the country, pick up
a gun.
And I think what we're seeing is that energy
is what happened after the Civil War in the
South.
>> Mm-hm, yeah.
>> And Jim Crow laws.
It was that idea that we've been defeated.
Our ignorance and cognitive dissonance has
been penetrated.
And so now, the only option is to go out with
a bang.
>> And so, let's be really clear about what
Beto actually said.
Because from just that clip, you must assume,
Beto said he's going to strip all of your
kids, and take them into the woods to do Pagan
rites around a bonfire.
He just said, I'm not gonna allow tax breaks
for religious organizations that deny people
their Civil Rights.
That's literally all he said.
But he has to fill a lot of hours of radio
everyday, I guess.
>> I am going to get to that in a second.
But I wanna say one more thing about the violence.
>> Now, we even laughed on this panel, because
Ben Shapiro really, what are you going to
do to anybody?
Okay, now look, they are very weak, so they
hide behind weaponry.
It is not like Ben Shapiro could say like
in the old days, you want to take it outside?
So he goes, no, I'll just murder you with
a gun cuz I'm a weakling.
That's his illusion there.
And we laugh, because it's absurd coming from
him.
But it's not funny, because he has a lot of
maniacs who listen to his show.
And those maniacs do have guns, and they are
incredibly weak and deeply insecure.
>> And why aren't they on a terrorist list?
Why aren't they on a watch list?
Because Tommy Laron did the same thing.
When she tried to walk it back and said, that's
not what I meant.
>> Yeah.
>> It's exactly what you meant, Swastika Barbie.
You thought that just because someone didn't
agree with you on a specific thing, that you
were going to then try to rile people up and
get them excited and incite violence.
And-
>> I guarantee you this, if the Black Panthers
said if the cops show up at our door, we're
gonna meet them with a gun, they'd all be
arrested.
>> Yeah,
>> And they'd definitely be on a watch list.
But you have right winged privilege in this
country.
You can threaten to murder cops all day long
if you're a right winger.
And your crazed audience could actually do
it.
>> But let them kill a black person though.
Blue live matters, yes, why are you, but then
all of a sudden when the law's on our side.
>> Then you don't wanna allow me to be a bigot
,then I'm gonna shoot all the cops.
That's what Ben Shapiro says.
All right, so now let's get to finally all
the lies as quickly as I can.
He says you come in and and make my kids do
certain things at a school.
Beto wasn't talking about schools at all.
If you're talking about Catholic schools etc.,
they're perfectly allowed to exist.
If you're talking about churches, he makes
it seem like no, Beto says and democrats say,
you must teach this.
This is a specific thing you must teach at
your church or at your school, he's not saying
any of that.
All he is saying is, if you want your tax
exempt status, you cannot discriminate against
certain people.
Which is the law for, in every other regard.
So, when he says, well, why don't you just
go to a different school?
Why don't you go to a different church?
Well that's what they told black folks, well
we're racist and we're not allowing you in
our hotel, restaurant, etc.
Why don't you just go to a different restaurant?
Go to a different hotel.
Go to a different pool.
Go use a different water fountain.
What's the big deal, separate but equal.
And by the way at this point, we're not saying
churches can't do that.
They get separate but equal.
So I hate it.
I can't stand it.
I think it's wrong.
I think it's morally wrong.
But if you're a person who's morally despicable,
and you hate gay people and you say, I don't
want to appeal to them at all.
And it's not just about the issue that Beto
brought up.
It's also, you can't get a job in the church.
You go to the church, you say, hey, but you're
gay.
I hate you.
You're not allowed to have a job, okay?
So okay, we're still gonna let you do that.
And Ben, don't worry, sleep easy, you could
hate anyone you like, it's a free country.
All he's saying is, then you're not going
to be tax exempt.
But that is actually why Ben Shapiro is the
most upset.
Taxes, taxes, I want my money.
That's what the whole right wing is based
on, money, money, money.
I wanna cheat on my taxes as a hateful, bigoted
church, or a mosque, or whatever religious
institution that wants to discriminate against
other people.
They say no, I wanna be able to discriminate
and pay zero taxes.
Why?
I don't pay zero taxes.
You don't pay zero taxes.
Why does the church get to say, I'm gonna
be the most hateful?
And by the way, of course, it is not remotely
all churches.
But if you're some church that is in that
direction, some mosque that is in that direction,
we're still fine with it.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
It is, it's a wonderful, free country.
You're allowed to be hateful, you're allowed
to be a bigot.
You're allowed to be all those things.
But you're not allowed to demand that you
get special privileges, where you don't have
to pay any taxes.
>> Also, why do you care what the church does
or doesn't do, if you're just gonna disobey
the law anyway and grab your gun.
So it's like-
>> Yeah.
And so what Ben Shapiro is in reality saying
is, if you don't let me make sure they can't
get jobs, I can kick them out of school.
I could fire them for being a teacher.
I could do all these things.
And I demand to pay zero taxes.
If you say to me no, you have to actually
pay ten percent in taxes or whatever the number
is, I'll murder you.
Jesus Christ.
That is what the right wing in this country
is, maniacally in favor of the rich and the
powerful, to the point where they would threaten
to kill cops in order to defend their right
not to pay any goddamn taxes.
And last thing, you think we wanna control
your lives?
I don't want any part of your miserable life.
The idea of controlling Ben Shapiro's life,
I don't wanna be within ten miles of Ben Shapiro's
life.
>> I don't give a damn what you're doing with
your silly little life.
What we're asking for is equality, okay?
It's not too much to ask for in a country
based on equality.
Same rights, not more rights, not less rights,
same rights.
But you're a bigot, you're a homophobe, so
I can't believe I have to give gay people
the same rights as me.
Well, then goddamn it, do option one, move
to a country that is not based on equality.
You are un-American, you hate the core idea
of America, which is that we're all born equal.
Read the Declaration of Independence, you
ignorant ass.
And if you don't like it, then get out.
Get out, move somewhere else.
And you know who wants to actually control
your life?
Ben Shapiro, who wrote a book about, don't
watch porn.
>> What?
Hey hey, you, you over there.
Don't watch it.
You over there, not that kind of porn.
Not that porn.
Not that porn.
Can you believe the liberals want to control
your life?
Are you mental?
What are you doing going on people's computer?
What are you watching?
What are you watching?
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
I'm gonna control every part of your life.
No, you're the big government advocate.
Don't talk to your doctor about an abortion.
I'm gonna get inside of your uterus.
I'm not gonna let you do that.
I'm gonna moralize.
Don't watch porn.
Don't sleep with that person.
Don't love that person.
Who wants to control your life?
That jerk right there.
That little weasel, is the one who wants to
control your life.
And we're not gonna let him.
But unlike those monsters, we're not gonna
go, I don't agree with Shapiro, so I'm gonna
grab a gun.
No, we're gonna do it politically and yes,
we are in the middle of a cultural war.
Our culture of equality, is better than yours
of discrimination.
And we're in the middle of winning, and that's
why you're so pathetically bitter.
And you know you've lost the debate, you've
lost the American people, they agree with
us, two-thirds agree with us on every one
of those issues.
That is why you are desperate.
You know what, I'm gonna do the only thing
that right wings got left, violence.
That means you have been thoroughly defeated.
You're intellectually bankrupt.
And those are the facts, and the facts don't
give a damn about
your feelings.
Young Turks.
