11:00 pm
to enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted. thank first joining us. we will always be fair and balanced. we're not the destroy-trump media. set your dvr so you never miss us. have a great night. >> laura: thanks for joining us this memorial day. welcome to this special edition of "the ingraham angle." we will look at the best of our defending the first segment. now we'll show you an outrageous example of a california high school teacher suspended for merely questioning whether students co-protest abortions just as they had protested gun control. and shapiro shows us how he was tried to get shut down. and the dark forces and the big bank rolls behind the
11:01 pm
efforts to silence conservatives. the high-tech techniques that silicon valley uses to make conservative thought disappear altogether from the internet. and professors from across the country will tell us how universities force them to tow the pc line to restrict students from thinking for themselves. we begin with my take on bullies on the left aiming to silence conservatives. when we kicked off the series back in early april. nearly 30 years ago, da inertia de souza wrote a book. on college campuses the american left had gone from championing free speech to stieflg it. conservativism under reagan was a liberating, optimistic and patriotic alternative to the
11:02 pm
malaise and pessimism of the 1970s. the faculty became dominated by liberals desperate to turn young minds away from reaganism and the america he represented which these activists maintained as inherently racist and sexist because its founders were privileged white men. conservatives challenging the liberal orthodoxy on campus were sued and maligned by students and professors alike. they were subject to disciplinary action and physically threatened. the ultimate goal was to bully them into silence. of course, that effort failed. conservatives probably now see how naive it was to believe that
11:03 pm
th squelching of free speech. and they came up are with phrases like microaggressions and safe spaces and white privilege. today left wing activists use these terms as bludgeons to intimidate those who disagree with them from entering the dialogue at all. for all their talk of inclusion, the left doesn't invite more voices to enter the public discussion. instead they drive out any dissenting voice and police the dogma of their own creation. generations later the chilling effect on free speech in the workplace and the media and society at large is palpable. we all feel it. and the situation may be worsening. a brookings institution survey was released of college student attitudes toward free speech on cam us with was depressing. they asked do you agree with shouting down a controversial
11:04 pm
speaker who comes to campus. 51% of respondents said yes and democrats were far more likely than republicans to agree with stifling free speech on campus. 62 to 38%. and women were more likely than men to believe that so-called hate speech is not institutionally protected. the numbers were 49% to 38%. and by the way, other data indicate hostility to free expression is starting earlier than college. meaning these kids are picking it up at home, at high school or junior high or both places. this, too, is super d dishartening. it is critical we all recognize the perilous road that we're on. think about it. if 40% to 50% of the country
11:05 pm
feels like their right to free expression is less worthy of protection than that of any garden variety leftist where does that leave our first amendment? as a shell of its former self is the answer. there is a contraction of free speech all around us and few seem to even notice. many of you have become accustomed to editing yourself, let's face it. expressing views that five or ten years ago were main stream can get you fired or cause you to lose a promotion or you could be branded a hater, or yes, you could get boycotted. sadly. with there are only a handful of tree liberals left on the skaen to defend the vigorous exchange of ideas. >> i have been the victim of a boycott. i lost a job once. it is wrong.
11:06 pm
you shouldn't do this -- it is the modern way of cutting off free speech. >> and the goal posts by the way, are forever moving. every day, more issues are taking off the table altogether and may no longer be debated at all. if you are against affirmative action, you're a racist. if you wear a make america great again hat to a gun control rally and are beaten up, don't expect sympathy from the rally goers. remember what happened when left wing nut cases in san jose got their hands on a trump supporter? this is the intolerant left in action. whether it's striking voices from social media or driving certain viewpoints from the air waves, beating people up,
11:07 pm
organize boycotts for perceived unforgivable offenses or preventing speakers from being heard on a college campus it's all coming from the same place, a desperate desire to stop debate by branding your opponent unacceptable and driving him or her from the public square. in just the past week, while i was on my easter break, we saw more examples of the totalitarian agenda in action. popular black conservatives diamond and silk noticed their facebook fans weren't receiving notifications of the new content they were posting. for months they begged facebook for answers. well, on thursday, facebook officially informed them, quote, the policy team has come to the conclusion that your content and your brand has been determined unsafe to the community. well, they say they were never
11:08 pm
informed how their videos or brand were unsafe for the community or even what the community is. but their fans are still not receiving notifications and facebook says, there's no appeal. it feels like we're all, again, in college. that the speech police demand that you change your focus, change your tone, change the subject. or else. then there was conservative writer kevin williamson, formerly a never trumper at national review. he was hired in march to the atlantic. but that changed on wednesday when media matters dug up an old podcast where he described abortion as homicide and suggested it could be treated like any other crime up to and including hanging. jeffrey goldberg announced they
11:09 pm
were parting ways with williamson because, quote, the language used in the podcast was callous and violent. this runs contrary to the atlantic's tradition of respectful and well reasoned debate and the values of our workplace. millions of americans believe that abortion itself is callous and violent, most obviously to the innocent life it destroys. nevertheless, another non-liberal voice was snuffed out at yet another esteemed publication. my friends, something alarming is taking place, the free speech clause of our constitution doesn't just apply to the peach the elites deem acceptable. it supports speech that is by its nature offensive, offensive to people in power, obvious at times to lawmakers, offensive to facebook and even offensive to
11:10 pm
the cool crowd that thinks abortion is just a sacred rite and that trump himself is a dangerous dictator. we, indeed, are reaching a crisis point where cultural walls are being erected to conscript and still free speech in america but it's we cannot let this continue. at the end of tonight's show, i'm going to be announcing my response to this dangerous epidemic and what this show will do in the coming weeks to expose the perpetrators, their tactics, their major players and their funders. their efforts are stalinist, pure and simple. their objective is a total transformation of american society not through open debate but through personal demonization and silencing. true liberals and conservatives should defend freedom of speech
11:11 pm
anywhere and everywhere because the tables can turn very quickly. today, it's conservatives being targeted. but tomorrow, it could be left of center voices as well. i say let the debate continue. what the speech czars don't seem to appreciate is that there are as many or not more of us as there are of them and we will never relent. and we will never give in. never. and that's the angle. here was my interview was "w" a california high school teacher placed on leave for having the gal to ask whether students could protest abortion in the same manner they protested gun control. >> rockland high school in california placed history teacher -- on paid administrative leave after she
11:12 pm
had the gall to question whether the school would let its students to walk out to protest abortion in the way it did to promote gun control. one of her students is putting the question to the test by organizing a pro life walkout set for 10:00 a.m. local time tomorrow. joining us now for more is julianne herself. this is good. you're a hero of the first amendment in my view. the students in all the organizations who organized and did it really well, the march for our lives and the various walkouts that have occurred over the last month or so, they got huge participation and huge media coverage and most of it was overwhelmingly positive and growing. what have you found with your effort at your school? >> well, basically, the only
11:13 pm
large entity that i know of that has taken up this pro life walkout cause is tony perkins of the family research council. i was thinking to your point there, perhaps there would be other -- maybe a clint eastwood or a brave star from hollywood. i was hoping maybe for a few other people to join but you know what, it's all about grass roots and what we are feeling the pulse of the nation, perhaps paragraphly among young people is extremely exciting. >> we're talking about saving lives which we all want to do. we want to have sensible regulations that don't run afoul of the constitution. and in this case, the dominant culture does not promote the cause of life. they call it anti-abortion
11:14 pm
rights advocates. they don't refer to pro life on cbs or msnbc. i know because i used to work at both places. but i'm finding students across the united states. and you see this at the march for life are much more open to the idea of wow, this is really a human being. why are we doing this to a new generation of americans? we are snuffing them out a million at a time. every year another million by chemical or surgical abortion. but the media act like this viewpoint, this pro life viewpoint doesn't even exist. >> correct. and that's prix pecisely why my student chose to stage this as a pro life walkout. we are all for all students who lost their lives on school
11:15 pm
campuses this but this is pro life. every life matters. the outgoing president of planned parenthood was to destigmatize -- her book, she -- her goal was to destigmatize abortion in the united states. and i'm sorry, that has not taken place. two articles i read gave statistics that the majority of americans and the majority of women are pro life, not for abortion. >> thanks so much. we'll be following what happens with this brave push to advance life in a different type of walkout. up next, ben shapiro who has triggered leftists into frenzy by calling for free speech on campus. he explains why the left is so terrified of free speech.
11:16 pm
11:18 pm
>> laura: daily wire editor in chief, ben shapiro is one of the top defenders of free speech, particularly on campus. in a series of speeches he has debunked sacred cows like safe spaces, microaggressions and the quest for multiculturism and diversity and not without risk to his own personal safety. >> and there it is, gang. guess what? you know what, they're not going to stop us. [ cheers ]
11:19 pm
>> if i attempt to enter that hall and listen to somebody speak or attempt to ask questions you will have me arrested? >> at this point, yes, sir. >> the tolerant one, ben shapiro, himself who we thought of immediately when we launched this series. you don't look too threatening. you have interesting ideas and thought provoking -- you have the head gear and the riot police out. it is funny because it is pathetic but it is also dangerous because you have the guts to go on college campuses. but a lot of conservatives are invited to speak and they say, i have better things to do with my time. you can't blame them but that is
11:20 pm
chilling free speech. >> no question. universities are shutting down free speech by saying the left is going to get violent. i don't blame conservatives who don't want to take their life in their hands. i'm talking about not even conservatives from jordan peterson to heather mcdonnell and charles murray. a wide variety of conservatives are being rioted against on campuses and the administration in some cases has not done enough to prevent that from happening. when they do attempt to stop it from happening, they bring a lot of cops on to campus and restrict the number of people who can attend the lectures. they restrict free speech when they try to protect it. >> laura: irony, berkley, is at center -- ground zero of the
11:21 pm
anti-free speech movement in the united states today. in the last couple days an interesting development, ben, that fits with our series at penn state, the penn state student power network along with other students and community members gathered outside old main to present a list of demands to the president. they included denouncing and defunding hate groups on campus. i think to myself, are the nazis on campus? u.s. communists? no, groups with anti-immigrant rhetoric. i guess that is someone in favor of enforcing the border? >> everything is deemed hate speech on campus. there was a point where people were barred from writing president trump's name when he was a candidate. it made people feel bad that some people supported trump as a candidate. it would be let's enforce the
11:22 pm
border. but that's not a shock. again, penn state is one of the campuses i visited. there was a near riot when i visited penn state. some of the people protesting against the conservatives on campus. there were conservative groups they were protesting tried to breakthrough the doors when i was speak. what's amazing about all of this is it's easy to have a nice event where people come and listen to me and all of us are willing to have q and as and discussions. we had one last night at pepperdine where you have minority groups who decided to show up and ask questions and we had a nice conversation but there is a part of the left as distinguished from liberals that says that it is incumbent to protect the campus from ideas that are dissenting. >> and the reason that they want to stifle speech is because your
11:23 pm
speech actually grows conservativism. it spreads the ideology and it draws people in. they have no ideas. they're out of ideas. they're out of solutions. they're into demonization. and you go to college campuses. you could be going to corporations and speak. but you go to college campuses and i think the groups trying to make your life miserable are going after charlie kirk and turning point usa, go through the list of who is behind this effort to tamp down on free speech. we know the big funded groups by george soros. >> there are a lot of student groups that coordinate -- with the women's march are associated with this movement. a lot of the groups associated with #blacklivesmatter. antifa was promoting violence at
11:24 pm
the speeches. but the generalized attempt to shut down speeches is a lot of the groups that have been on campus from the time i was a student myself. and they push for the ideas that they should be conservative free and be complete safe spaces for people on the left. not only because they think that conservatives will convince people but they think that conservatives are evil. they think that people like me are there to do them harm. when i show up and i'm a nonthreatening character and i have never beaten anyone up in my life, then you know, that's the impact. >> yeah, well, again, you don't look threatening but ideas are threatening to these people. >> laura: in part two with ben he will reveal the latest tactic to shut him up, accusing him of, wait for it, terrorism. i kid you not. stay right there.
11:27 pm
alberto weakening into a subtropical depression after making landfall on monday in the florida panhandle. folks are bracing for storm surge, flash flooding and possible tornados. the storm, turning deadly in north carolina where a tv anchor and photojournalist from south carolina died when a tree fell on their vehicle. alberto's remnants will bring heavy rains and mudslides to the area this week. george h.w. bush is spending memorial day in a maine hospital where he is being treated for low blood pressure and fatigue. the 94-year-old will likely remain there for a few days but he is described as awake, alert and not in any discomfort. now back to the "the ingraham angle" special. for all your headlines --
11:28 pm
>> laura: this is the campaign, now, to blame ben shapiro for inciting a deadly terror attack on a canadian mosque last year? we welcome back to the angle, ben shapiro, he looks so unassuming and, like, ben, what do you weigh, 150 pounds? >> 165. i'm bulking up. >> laura: you write stuff and you go on tv. but explain how you are allegedly involved in inspiring this horrible attack on a mosque because you made comments about islamic terror last year? >> he had seen some of my tweets on twitter. he had also seen them from bret baier and you and a bunch of
11:29 pm
people but my account is the one he viewed the most. i have 1.4 million twitter followers. i guess the view is if someone views enough of my tweets they will become a terrorist. but none of this is real. i mean, when a bernie sanders supporters shot up a congressional baseball game, they didn't say it was bernie sanders' fault. >> we play fair and they don't care about the rules. their goal is to intimate other conservatives using you as an abject lesson. we're going to use you as an example. don't speak out on these issues. if you do -- it doesn't matter if it's in canada or australia or anywhere else we are going to brand you a hater and stop your livelihood and stop you from making money and stop you from getting speeches. it's this mall content in canada
11:30 pm
kicking up a fuss. we have seen it with the southern poverty law center with their obscene list of islam -- i think i'm on that list. ridiculous. >> the guy who shot up the family research council was a follower of the splc and used their map of hate groups as a target. so all of this is really dangerous and all of it is leading to an attempt in the united states by people on the far left to imitate places in britain and canada to shut down the dissenting voices of the left. i cut a video about the numbers of islams worldwide who may believe radical ideas.
11:31 pm
it was committed by an evil piece of human debris. but all of this is nonsense generated by the left to shut down free speech. that's their goal. >> kanye west has become an interesting figure on the cultural scene expressing his love for many people but among them most controversially is donald trump. and now he's gotten attacked by everybody, comment he made about slavery being a choice is obviously not what he meant. but now we're seeing, perhaps, connected, we don't know? an increase in support among african-americans especially african-american men, double support to i guess the figure is now it's up to 22%. it was 11% approval. now it's 22%. where the overall approval is also increasing, i believe, to 16% from 8%.
11:32 pm
it's interesting. is it just a coincidence with kanye west? >> what kanye did by saying think for yourself if that is a threat to the left, it shows how they shut down identity speech to shut down debate. what kanye did say here which is simple which, listen, i'm not just a black guy and just a hollywood celebrity, i get to form late my own logic and figure out what i believe. if everybody else thought like this we could have these conversations we haven't been able to have so far. good for kanye west for beginning the conversations. but it is an amazing stand he is taking at a time he doesn't have to take it. >> laura: i think he has to say you don't have to be imprisoned by your past as unfair and unjust as it was you don't have to let it define your future.
11:33 pm
a lot of people have said that over the men yeah. hillary clinton was a up there yesterday, a q and a about socialism, america, whatever, let's watch. >> you may be the only presidential candidate since world war ii that had to stand up and say i am a capitalist and you did. did it hurt you? >> probably. it's hard to know. but i mean, if you're in the iowa caucuses and 41% of democrats are socialists or self described socialists and i say i'm a capitalist but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability, you know, that's -- that probably gets lost in she's a capitalist. >>. >> laura: one sentence? >> she told the truth, good for hillary. she stumbled across something that is true. >> laura: up next, michelle
11:34 pm
11:36 pm
>> laura: you know michelle malkin as a fierce champion of free speech, particularly online. well, tonight, she's going to shed light on the dark forces behind organized efforts to silence conservatives. great to see you. i think it's so important, michelle, for the people watching fox tonight to see and understand what this all is really all about. and i want to start with george soros. he has funded left-wing groups as you've pointed out, the
11:37 pm
center for american progress. i think we have a graphic; the color of change, people for the american way, media matters action network, connected with media matters. there we have all those organizations. tell us, michelle, which are the worst offenders of free expression? >> media matters has been at the forefront of the speech enders who are deeply funded by george soros and a number of left-wing foundations and it's important to note that so many of these outfits are tax exempt, that they enjoy so much largess as a result of irs laws and under the definition of 501 c 3s and c 4s have been stretched so these
11:38 pm
blatantly partisan political organizations have cast themselves as educational or social welfare groups. you have media matters that has gone after every prominent conservative effective voice in the public square and they'll use any pretext. these people do this for full time living. as a result, it is undeniable, laura. and you and i have fought in this arena for so many years in talk radio, on broadcast and on social media where it has been so important for independent conservative voices to get their messages out. and we know that -- that the encroachment of these censors and these bullies in the public square has left an undeniable cloud over the first amendment and degrees expression. >> laura: people say, well, this is all the free marketplace of ideas. and you know, everyone else -- if they want to complain about
11:39 pm
someone who said something, they do that and that's part of the democratic process, too. each side has their own opinions and one side -- what are they doing? they have these corporations that just wilt, though. they get 100 e-mails from a left-wing activist and they wilt. millions of conservatives, are you kidding me? it makes no sense. >> and the supposed backlash that elicits this feckless response from corporations that just don't want any bad publicity sometimes constitutes a couple of tweets and you have media matterance colors of changes of the world that exploit their social justice status. they have an immunity shield to go after conservatives for expressing main stream thought and opinion. the agenda of the left-wing character assassins is to
11:40 pm
marginalize the main stream thought. >> the censorship of conservative speech by silicon valley's tech joints. among the findings, claims from former employees that facebook hides conservative content from the trending section were backed up by a study. google and youtube and twitter partner with the southern poverty law center that hate conservatives of the 25 members on the panel that guides twitter's policies, 12 are liberals and one is conservative. for more details we are joined by brent bozell, founder of the very important media research center. it's great to have you. first appearance on the show. where have you been? tell us what you found. >> it's a massive study done by dan gainer and ashry goldenberg.
11:41 pm
it's 50 pages documenting what conservatives have been suggesting has been happening. it sounds hyperbolic but it's true. it's emerging of the greatest censorship of free speech worldwide in the history of man. let me explain this. the left is on a jihad against conservative thought. it's happening in am dame yeah, religion, everywhere. now they're going to the social media giants. these social media giants have audiences in the billions. and what we've shown in this massive report is whether it's facebook or twitter or google or youtube they are employing different tactics. >> laura: let's go through some of them. here's some examples. google search aids democrats and
11:42 pm
study found that 2016 campaign searches were biassed for hillary clinton and facebook and google are relying on anti-conservative fact checkers like snoeps and wikipedia. >> if you look at so many things that wikipedia does, it puts a liberal spin against conservatives on a regular basis. >> we always have to edit my page. i stopped looking. >> they just insert nasty stuff about you. they have been partnering -- youtube has been partnering with them to unmask conservatives and to go against conservative content and uncover these conservatives and what they're doing. >> laura: you say war has been declared on the conservative movement and conservatives are losing badly. if the right is silenced
11:43 pm
billions of people will be cut off from conservative ideals. that's really true, isn't it? even though the soviets suppressed speech, we are talking about a global effort to suppress or silence conservatives. you have seen the nonsense that happened to shows like mine and rush and others. they don't want to debate because they are losing on the substance. but with the power of high-tech, what can we, the consumers of information and others watching, what can they do? >> first they have to recognize what is going on right now. jack dorsey is the ceo of twitter. just recently, he was promoted -- he promoted an article that called for destruction of the conservative movement. >> he retweeted it. >> that just happened in the united states. it's all over the world that the left is militant.
11:44 pm
conservatives have to look for new homes. >> laura: our own platform or group that holds them accountable? >> if they leave the business model, the social media giants collapse. >> use your power. >> your audience is up 20% since they went after you. >> laura: always a glass have full here. brent, thank you. we're going to link this up on my facebook page. everybody needs to read it and support the efforts that you're doing. thank you so much. still to come, the tactics that universities use to suppress free speak and the flight of professors caught in the pc machine. california law enforcement knows we need stop
11:46 pm
liberal gavin newsom from becoming governor. they also know chicago lawyer john cox has thirteen losing campaigns under his belt... and cox supports bad ideas like a 23 percent sales tax! california police officers and police chiefs stand with antonio villaraigosa. as mayor, he worked with law enforcement, and cut violent crime in half. antonio for governor.
11:47 pm
>> laura: the latest target of campus censorship is history professor burt solsum of hills dale college. an approval committee tried to ban him from delivering a lecture on campus because they claimed the lecture would not be academic enough. they ultimately, spencer, allowed him to speak on campus but not at that venue which is bigger and they put him off to the side somewhere and said you can speak over here. >> that's right. i don't think it's a secret but there is a crisis on college campuses. but the excuses that administrators use to shut down the speakers. burt folsom who had the number one history book in the country is not academic enough is
11:48 pm
ridiculous. >> and there's another story. campus reform went out and decided to interview students about sending troops to the border and immigration and so forth. let watch. >> when president obama did it, i felt there was, i suppose, different coverage as to the intentions. >> where do you draw the line on who can be here or not? >> yeah. >> at the border, what do you think people would say? >> laura: the students didn't know that president obama sent troops to the border. well, when he did it -- what is your take on the lack of the basic understanding of whether it's the constitution or recent american history? it's a constant demonization of trump on college campuses for 50 grand a year. >> these are students going to school to become well rounded but they are not learning critical thinking skills or how
11:49 pm
to defend their ideas but just the leftist ideology. so all they know is if trump supports it, it must have been bad. if obama supported it, it must be great. >> that was at uc santa barbara. they didn't know that obama sent troops to the border. so they had to back into it. when he did it, it was necessary. this is classic uninformed college students, who learn it for the first time from some radical history professor. then at gw university nearby where we are, the democrat -- some of the college democrats don't want to be bipartisan? >> they don't want a dialogue because they know when that happens the best ideas rise to
11:50 pm
the top and the left ideas will fall off. what you see here is their goal is to allow a situation only where leftist ideas are heard. when conservative policies and solutions -- >> they're pet fidel castrified debate. and by the way, some members of the current executive board have hesitations about participating in events with conservative orgs. petrified. thanks for the update. one of the starkest examples is at marquette university, a private catholic school in milwaukee. john mcadams was suspended and has been since 2014 when he chastised a grant administrator. why? she apparently told a student she would not tolerate dissent on the topic of same-sex
11:51 pm
marriage. marquette opened her up to threats by referring to her by name. joining us now is professor mcadams himself, you taught for 30 years at marquette and as a catholic institution and yet, this instructor berated a student who said, basically, not all of us agree on your view of same-sex marriage. tell us. >> that's right. it seemed ironic. i think a lot of your viewers know that a lot of institutions claim to be catholic but they are secular and politically correct. >> did they demand that you
11:52 pm
proce prostrate yourself and apologize and you refused, is that right, to apologize, sir? >> that's correct. they told me they would reinstate me if i apologized and promised to conform to marquette's supposed guiding values. of course, i think i've -- i think i'm more loyal to marquette's guiding values than the administration of marquette university. but this is stalinist stuff. i'm not going to apologize. >> 130 years have past and unless our research is wrong not a single professor has lost tenure. 130 years but i guess you're a big threat, professor. you decided to post a blog. >> yeah, it is ironic. professors have lost tenure but it had to be something like stealing money from research funds or raping a student. it had to be something like that. no professor that anyone knows
11:53 pm
about has ever been fired or even suspended for a block post. >> laura: do you feel bad about hurting the feelings of this student instructor? she got a deal on her tuition, i guess. >> well -- i think it's unfortunate that she got some -- really, a nasty e-mails. she got no threats. she admitted in one of her own blog posts she had gotten no threats. that was not good. but anybody whose misconduct is revealed by a journalist might get some unkind responses. >> laura: that's for sure. i've been at the receiving end of that. we're going to be throwing your case. the arguments are coming up in about ten days or so. thank you for giving us your perspective. we talk to stewart card who i says he was fired for
11:54 pm
defending free speech on campus. she he says he was fired after he privately disagreed with the expulsion of students for their crude skits a fraternity roasts. look, my producer watched the video, the fraternity video. it wasn't posted on social media. it was gross and it was profane and so forth. they say it was satire ridiculing a conservative who apparently was a bad person and racist and so forth. you wrote a statement, an e-mail to the administration, and you said the following, i strongly believe enforcing the myth that individuals are likely to be damaged by exposure to ideas they find offensive is a
11:55 pm
disservice to my profession. i was toughened as a youth. i survived and got stronger. i mean, that's -- and then you're separated from the university for that? >> well, i have to say this isn't really about syracuse university. i love syracuse university and the good people there who are doing what they assume and feel is right. this is about ideas and not about institutions or individuals. it's the ideas of free speech and reason versus dangerous irrational myths that have swept campuses around the country. i don't know if i was fired or if i quit. we might say that the university and i reached a mutual agreement that the beliefs and values of
11:56 pm
the university are no longer -- >> that's cute. you don't know if you quit or were fired. did they make you sign a release? >> no. when i sent that e-mail i concluded it with if my position on this is to objectionable as to render me as disqualified to service to our students and the answer came back -- >> laura: i mean, come on, this is obtuse, you were fired because you wrote that e-mail saying i'm concerned that we're coddling students, coddling them and trying to protect them from offensive ideas is not going to help anyone or advance the cause of learning. and that was the thing that they ultimately said, you're right. we don't want someone like you at our university. you know, and i know you're protective of syracuse. that's nice. but the atmosphere on college campuses today on a scale of one to ten, one being pro free speak and ten being the least, where
11:57 pm
