Ben Shapiro makes bold prediction about the left's woke agenda

right for the left the only total compliance total submission will do now no one is better than my next guest whose brand new book addresses is head-on here now ben shapiro host of the ben shapiro show author of the new book authoritarian moment out tomorrow ben congrats on the book it's great to see you tonight now we've discussed this a lot on the on the angle but the left wasn't just happy owning entertainment higher education now they're looking to take over the military and other traditionally more conservative spaces what does this tell us the renormalization laura of every single major institution in america american life is continuing a pace and everybody can feel this by pulling data literally the only people in america who by broad numbers feel comfortable saying what they think are people who exist on the radical left if you're not on the radical left you have to think twice about it you're afraid of being socially ostracized you're afraid of being fired and it's because the institutions themselves have been changed and changed from the inside all it takes is about 20 percent of people at any given institution to renormalize the institution along their lines as long as they are intransigent as long as they are very loud and so long as there is cowardice within within the institution you've seen it happen in a wide variety of institutions all the way up to and including places that conservatives thought were relatively safe corporate america for example or the military and as we see these stories rolling out there will be blowback we just hope that the blowback isn't too little too late here now ben to your point um the democrats are already paying a price now according to this new piece in politico they may be losing ground on this quote school equity plans they're writing that people are scared democrats appear to be underestimating parents anger in places where critical race theory is top of mind objections to new equity plans are not the sole province of conservatives but expand extend to many moderates and independent voters as well uh ben they're just realizing this and if they're doing it to the military with the woke-ism the schools you're running into mama bears there in school and daddy bears well that's exactly right i mean they can boil the frog only so long before people actually start to realize that the frog is boiling and they start to push back the boiled frog eventually does try to jump out of the pot we are at that point in the educational system all the parents who basically had said i'm sending my kid to school i'm going to leave them there and all these good-hearted teachers they're going to civilize my kids make them better american citizens they're beginning to realize especially after the pandemic especially after having to zoom into class and see what teachers are actually teaching their kids that this is a bad idea that the heads of our institutions don't have their best interests at heart and you're starting to see that silent majority that silent middle the people who up until now have been sort of conflict at verse starting to say well i can't be conflict at verse anymore because you've not left me the opportunity to be conflict diverse either i stand up and i protect my kids or i watch as my kids get perverted by ideologies that are blatantly anti-american like crt now uh one final point ben and it goes to the point of your book now you have the adl the anti-defamation league that are are working with paypal to try to stop funding so-called hate groups now people think kkk okay but that's i mean it's not really defined what the quote hate groups are going to be what does this say to conservative organizations or others that could just be thrown into some list just because they disagree on some basic issues well i mean pick your poison on what issue what does this tell us what direction are we going in this this is the scariest thing i think that's happening right now is the perversion of neutral service providers in pursuit of a political end by the left we saw this when parlor was kicked offline by amazon web services after january 6th and now you're seeing it with paypal which is supposed to be again a neutral service provider you just use it to pay your bills and now they're saying okay we're going to team up with the adl which is an overtly left-wing organization that is very broadly defining the kind of content that they're seeking to target authoritarianism doesn't just have to come from the government it's not just people at the government level telling you what to do it's the hijacking of institutions that matter in your life to ostracize you from your social community and then push you outside of the boundaries of normal everyday life that's dangerous stuff it polarizes the country the left is doing it every single day ben thank you everyone go buy the book the authoritarian moment is out tomorrow and ben great

Laura: Right for the left the only total compliance total submission will do now no one is better than my next guest whose brand new book addresses is head-on here now Ben Shapiro host of the Ben Shapiro show author of the new book authoritarian moment out tomorrow ben congrats on the book it's great to see you tonight now we've discussed this a lot on the on the angle but the left wasn't just happy owning entertainment, higher education now they're looking to take over the military and other traditionally more conservative spaces what does this tell us.

Ben Shapiro: The renormalization Laura of every single major institution in America, American life is continuing a pace and everybody can feel this by pulling data. Literally the only people in America who by broad numbers feel comfortable saying what they think are people who exist on the radical left. If you're not on the radical left you have to think twice about it, you're afraid of being socially ostracized you're afraid of being fired.

And it's because the institutions themselves have been changed and changed from the inside. All it takes is about 20 percent of people at any given institution to renormalize the institution along their lines. As long as they are intransigent as long as they are very loud. And so long as there is cowardice within within the institution you've seen it happen in a wide variety of institutions all the way up to and including places that conservatives thought were relatively safe corporate America for example or the Military and as we see these stories rolling out there will be blowback We just hope that the blowback isn't too little too late here.

Laura: Now ben to your point um the Democrats are already paying a price now according to this new piece in Politico they may be losing ground on this quote school equity plans they're writing that people are scared. Democrats appear to be underestimating parents anger in places where critical race theory is top of mind. Objections to new equity plans are not the sole province of conservatives but expand extend to many moderates and independent voters as well. Uh ben they're just realizing this and if they're doing it to the military with the woke-ism the schools you're running into mama bears there in school and daddy bears.

Shapiro: Well that's exactly right I mean they can boil the frog only so long before people actually start to realize that the frog is boiling and they start to push back the boiled frog eventually does try to jump out of the pot.

We are at that point in the educational system all the parents who basically had said I'm sending my kid to school, I'm going to leave them there and all these good-hearted teachers they're going to civilize my kids make them better American citizens.

They're beginning to realize, especially after the pandemic, especially after having to zoom into class and see what teachers are actually teaching their kids, that this is a bad idea that the heads of our institutions don't have their best interests at heart. And you're starting to see that silent majority that silent middle the people who up until now have been sort of conflict at first. Starting to say well I can't be conflict at first anymore because you've not left me the opportunity to be conflict diverse either i stand up and i protect my kids or i watch as my kids get perverted by ideologies that are blatantly anti-American like CRT.

Laura: Now uh one final point Ben and it goes to the point of your book now you have the ADL, the anti-defamation league that are are working with paypal to try to stop funding so-called hate groups. Now people think kkk okay but that's i mean it's not really defined what the quote hate groups are going to be what does this say to conservative organizations or others that could just be thrown into some list just because they disagree on some basic issues well i mean pick your poison on what issue what does this tell us what direction are we going in.

This this is the scariest thing i think that's happening right now is the perversion of neutral service providers in pursuit of a political end by the left. we saw this when Parlor was kicked offline by Amazon web services after january 6th and now you're seeing it with paypal which is supposed to be again a neutral service provider, you just use it to pay your bills.

And now they're saying okay we're going to team up with the ADL, which is an overtly left-wing organization. That is very broadly defining the kind of content that they're seeking to target. Authoritarianism doesn't just have to come from the government it's not just people at the government level telling you what to do.

It's the hijacking of institutions that matter in your life to ostracize you from your social community and then push you outside of the boundaries of normal everyday life that's dangerous stuff it polarizes the country, the left is doing it every single day.

Laura: Ben thank you everyone go buy the book the authoritarian moment is out tomorrow and ben great to see you congrats.

Even when I agree with Shapiro I have a hard time watching him because he's such a smarmmy asshole
