>> ANN COULTER HAS PULLED OUT OF HER SPEECH AT UC BERKELEY.
THERE
IS A LOT OF CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND TO THIS STORY.
SHE
WAS INITIALLY SCHEDULED TO SPEAK ON APRIL 27, TOMORROW.
ADMINISTRATORS AND OFFICIALS OF THE CAMPUS DECIDED IT WAS A BAD
IDEA AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO RESCHEDULE TO MAY 2 BECAUSE THEY
DIDN'T HAVE A PROPER VENUE ON CAMPUS AVAILABLE TO ENSURE THERE
WOULD BE ENOUGH SAFETY.
OF COURSE THERE HAVE BEEN THREATS
OF PROTESTS BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR HER SPEAK.
THEY
BELIEVE HER SPEECH IS HATEFUL, WHICH I AGREE WITH.
BUT
NONETHELESS IT IS A PUBLIC COLLEGE CAMPUS THAT IS FUNDED BY
TAXPAYER MONEY.
THE SCHOOL DOES HAVE AN OBLIGATION, A
CONSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATION, TO ALLOW HER TO SPEAK.
SHE DID NOT
WANT TO SPEAK ON MAY 2 BECAUSE THAT IS REFERRED TO RRR WEEK AT
BERKELEY.
THE WEEK BEFORE FINALS WERE STUDENTS DON'T HAVE CLASS.
HER CONCERN WAS I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ON THAT DAY BECAUSE NO ONE
WILL BE ON CAMPUS.
I ALSO THINK IT IS A LEGITIMATE CONCERN TO
MAKE SURE IT IS A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
THERE HAVE BEEN
INSTANCES OF VIOLENCE DURING PROTESTS IN THE PAST.
HERE IS MY
ARGUMENT, THAT THE VIOLENCE SHOULD NOT EXIST.
THE REASON WHY
SHE IS NOT ABLE TO SPEAK ON THE 27TH IS BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED
ABOUT SECURITY.
IS A LEGITIMATE CONCERN BUT IT IS FRUSTRATING
THAT IT HAS TO BE A CONCERN.
WHO CARES IF SHE HAS STUPID THINGS
TO SAY.
LET HER SPEAK.
THIS IS LEADING TO MORE ATTENTION SHE SHOULD NOT BE
GETTING.
>> I DON'T QUITE BELIEVE THE ADMINISTRATION WHEN THEY SAY WE
MOVED IT TO A WEEK WHERE THERE IS NO CLASSES.
THEY DIDN'T EVEN
HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY MORE PEOPLE CAN ATTEND.
SHE OBJECTS
TO IT BECAUSE OBJECTING TO IT CREATES MORE CONFLICT WHICH SHE
LOVES.
THAT IS PART OF WHY WE ARE SO FRUSTRATED WITH PEOPLE
PROTESTING THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT.
NOW EVERY NEWSPAPER IN THE COUNTRY IS WRITING ABOUT ANN
COULTER.
>>AND THEY LOVE MAKING THEMSELVES OUT TO BE VICTIMS.
LET ME BE CLEAR, BECAUSE THERE ARE NUANCES AND CAVEATS.
SHE WAS
INVITED TO SPEAK BY REPUBLICANS ON CAMPUS ALONG WITH A
NONPARTISAN ORGANIZATION ON CAMPUS.
A LIBERAL VIEWPOINT IS
NOT THEIR ONLY VIEWPOINT THAT IS OR SHOULD BE REPRESENTED.
THERE
ARE DIVERSE GROUPS.
SHE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK.
I DON'T LIKE
HER, I CAN'T STAND HER.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN MY PREFERENCES
SHOULD DICTATE WHO IS OR IS NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK ON A
COLLEGE CAMPUS.
THEY ENDED UP PULLING OUT BECAUSE THEY WERE
ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD GO SEE
HER SPEAK, HER SAFETY, AND THE CONCERN THAT PROTESTS COULD
ERUPT INTO VIOLENCE.
>> THE YOUNG AMERICANS FOUNDATION IS HAPPY WITH ANN
COULTER'S SPEECH.
BERKELEY COLLEGE REPUBLICANS LOVE TO STIR
UP TROUBLE.
MY GUESS IS THAT WHEN ANN COULTER SAID I WILL DO
IT IN THE PLAZA ñ I THINK THEY PROBABLY THOUGHT JUST TO GET
MORE PUBLICITY YOU ARE WILLING TO ENDANGER ALL THOSE PEOPLE'S
WELL-BEING INCLUDING OUR STAFF?
THEN WE WILL NOT BACK YOU.
IF
YOU WANT TO SUE THEM WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE, BUT YOU WANT TO
ENDANGER EVERYONE'S SAFETY, THEN WE ARE OUT.
THAT IS MY BEST GUESS AS TO
WHY THEY PULLED OUT FROM
SUPPORTING COULTER.
>> THAT WAS MY READ OF IT AS WELL.
I AM NOT BACKING COULTER
BECAUSE I SUPPORT HER.
I KNOW WHAT HER AGENDA IS, IT IS NOT
ABOUT VALUING FREE-SPEECH.
IS NOT ABOUT SHARING HER IDEAS, IT
IS ABOUT DOING ANYTHING NECESSARY TO BE IN THE HEADLINES
TO GET THE ATTENTION SHE CRAVES SO DESPERATELY.
THIS IS A
STRATEGY AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A STRATEGY BY CONSERVATIVES.
WE NEED TO BE SMARTER IN RESPONDING.
INSTEAD OF GIVING
THEM WHAT THEY WANT, WE NEED TO IGNORE THEM.
JUST LET HER SPEAK
AND IGNORE HER.
THE ONLY REASON WHY SHE IS RELEVANT BECAUSE PEOPLE
MAKE HER RELEVANT.
>> IF YOU WANT TO PROTEST DONALD TRUMP THAT MAKES SENSE.
I WOULD
NOT EVEN PROTEST CULTURE.
IF YOU DON'T ONLY THREE PEOPLE WILL
SHOW UP.
THEY ARE NOT REMOTELY POPULAR.
YOU ARE MAKING THEM
INTO MUCH BIGGER DEALS.
YOU ARE WRONG ON THE SUBSTANCE.
ANA
HAD A BIG SPEECH IN COLORADO PULLED BY THE BOARD OF THE
UNIVERSITY.
ANN COULTER SAYS SHE IS AGAINST THE BROWNING OF
AMERICA.
SHE IS AGAINST ALL BROWN PEOPLE, PERFECTLY FINE.
SO
THEY HAVE STATE POWER OFTEN TIMES.
IN THAT CASE THEY HAVE
INSTITUTIONAL POWER.
WE ARE SUPER FRUSTRATED BY THAT.
BUT
THE CORRECT ANSWER IS NOT VIOLENCE.
YOU HAVE TO LET HER
SPEAK, LET THE THREE PEOPLE IN THEIR BOWTIES GO LISTEN TO HER
AND DO WHATEVER THEY DO.
WHEN YOU THREATEN VIOLENCE, BY THE
WAY IT IS VERY LIKELY NOT BERKELEY STUDENTS.
IT IS MORE
LIKELY TO BE ANARCHISTS THAT ARE IN THE AREA.
YOU DON'T PROVE
ANYTHING BY DOING IT.
I THINK IT IS UN-AMERICAN BECAUSE YOU ARE
NOT GOING TO LOSE A DEBATE TO ANN COULTER.
YOU ONLY MAKE HER
MICROPHONE LARGER BY DOING RIDICULOUS THINGS.
SHE ALMOST
COULDN'T PAY YOU TO GET HER BETTER PUBLICITY.
IF ALL SHE HAD
WAS HER STUPID ANTIQUATED RACIST IDEAS SHE WOULD JUST DRIFT
INTO THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY WHERE SHE BELONGS?
>> ALSO, WHERE IS MILO?
I WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT HIM ON THE
SHOW BEFORE BECAUSE HE WANTED THE ATTENTION, BUT NOW HE IS
GONE.
WHY?
HE BASICALLY KICKED HIMSELF IN THE ASS.
HE TALKED
ABOUT HOW PEDOPHILIA IS OKAY AND HIS OWN SPEECH ESSENTIALLY MADE
HIM IRRELEVANT.
GONE, HE IS NOT MAKING A TON OF MONEY WRITING A
BOOK ANYMORE.
BASICALLY WHAT I AM SAYING IS IF SOMEONE IS
HATEFUL, THAT HE SPEECH IS PROTECTED BY THE FIRST
AMENDMENT.
IF AN INSTITUTION IS RECEIVING GOVERNMENT MONEY THEY
ARE A PUBLIC INSTITUTION AND THEY HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL
OBLIGATION TO ALLOW THAT PERSON TO SPEAK.
LET HER SPEAK AND LET HER GET HERSELF INTO THE TROUBLE
SHE IS GOING TO GET INTO.
>> TWO THINGS, WHAT IS ABOUT NEMO.
>>WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING HIM NEMO?
>>BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GIVE HIM FURTHER ATTENTION.
IT TURNS
OUT WHEN PEOPLE POLLED HIS BOOK DEAL AND HE IS OFF TWITTER, IF
HE HAD A HUGE AUDIENCE IT WOULDN'T MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
WHERE ARE YOU NEMO?
I CAN'T FIND YOU.
THAT IS BECAUSE HE NEVER
HAD AN AUDIENCE TO BEGIN WITH.
IT IS 7 1/2 HATEFUL DUDES THAT
SPEND MOST OF THE TIME MASTURBATING IN A BASEMENT.
ONCE
YOU EXPOSE THAT HE HAS NOTHING LEFT.
LASTLY ON COULTER, I
DEBATED HER.
ALL SHE DOES IS EMBARRASS HERSELF.
GO WATCH IT
ON YOUTUBE.
YOU ALMOST WANT TO AVERT YOUR EYES AT TIMES.
BUT
MORE IMPORTANTLY IN THE BEGINNING SHE ALMOST
ACCIDENTALLY ADMITTED THAT IT IS JUST ENTERTAINMENT.
AND SHE SAID
SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF WHY DO WE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY?
>> IT HAS MADE HER WEALTHY.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS NOT PLAY INTO
THAT.
THE REALITY IS WHETHER YOU ARE ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS OR THE
REAL WORLD YOU WILL COME ACROSS SO MANY ASS HOLES, DICKS, AND
PEOPLE THAT WILL OFFEND YOU, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO STOP THEM
FROM SPEAKING.
>> ALEX JONES AND ANN COULTER ORAL PERFORMANCE ARTIST.
LET
THEM DO THEIR PERFORMANCE ART, THEN THEY WILL BE GONE.
WE ARE
THE GOOD GUYS, WE BELIEVE IN NONVIOLENCE
AND THE FIRST
AMENDMENT.
