Ben Shapiro RIPS Apart Milo | UBCFSC Talk

Hey Ben I'm a huge fan. Thank you for coming here. I kind of wanted to. I was thinking about this question on the way in and I knew is going to be a contentious one for you. I wanted to ask you a question about your best friend Milo Yiannopoulos I know you guys have a lot of history. I'll say bluntly but I was thinking about this a lot and I know that I pay a lot of attention to Milo. I'm kind of a big fan of his too so I mean I'm sorry about that. You're. Really even like the tooth caps and all that. I mean I wasn't I wasn't in the veneers and the butt injections. I thought who I thought was beautiful before then. So I mean but no I really. I'll get to my question. So I know you guys are really really split and he said some horrible things about you and vice versa. Maybe not quite. But I was kind of wondering. I said he's not a conservative. He sent me a picture of a black child on the day of my son's birth. I know. Not quite the same. i Know I Know I Know But my point my point is that like conservative speakers like yourself like there's the intellectual dark web there's a group of you guys that kind of you know help bolster each other up. And I know that he's not necessarily a part of that but I was wondering if like if people in general could see that someone like yourself is willing to extend an olive branch of some sort. And this is like totally. Well here's the olive branch that i extended to Milo and I will say this I don't feel the need to extend an olive branch to somebody who sends me pictures of black children on the day my son was born. But the olive branch that I send to Milo is the same olive branch that I extend to anyone with whom I have significant disagreement. When he was banned from Twitter I said he shouldn't have been. And that's even though a lot of the Twitter trolls I was receiving here sent me anti-Semitic names on a fairly frequent basis were Milo fans. So you know I think that you know if Milo you know I don't believe that people should generally be banned from social media platforms. I think Milo said a lot of really terrible things. And I think that he has been a detriment to the conservative movement by linking the conservative movement with a lot of very bad ideas. Now does that mean everything that he's ever said is bad. No. I mean when he. There are some things that he has said about political correctness with which I generally agree. My biggest problem of my Milo and this was my problem before he imploded right. My biggest problem Milo we had this argument even before he went into full. Alt-right Alt-lite. Whenever he wants to call himself My biggest problem with him was in like early March 2016 when he suggested that the future of America was not conservatism not constitutional conservatism it was a new big government populism that was going to take over where that left off. And I fundamentally disagreed with that. And he added that he thought the political that basically being politically incorrect. Was. The same thing as being an asshole. I don't think those two things are the same. I think he can be politically correct which is to say you say valuable things that people find unpalatable but they are actually valuable they are arguments that need to be made and be politically incorrect that's not the same thing as somebody dropping the N-word or somebody dropping a slur or somebody you know doing what Milo was doing and showing pictures of actual transgender people on screens and mocking them for the crowd. I don't think that's necessary. I think you can make a fully cogent argument about what transgender ism is or what we ought to do as a society about sexual differentiation without doing that sort of thing. I think that it actually lends a lot of credence to the other side which is politically correct in cracking down on free speech. When you conflate those two things when you conflate incivility or being a jerk with being politically incorrect so those are my main problems with Milo as far as like. Having a conversation again I don't really see the need cause i don't see the productivity i don't have conversations with a lot of folks. But I also don't think Milo should be banned. And I've never called for him to be so in fact I've openly called even when we were you know even when this was at its worst I said that he shouldn't he should not be banned from Twitter.
