fox nation host. ted cruz asking why aren't these people being punished? >> tomi: i do probably 20 upon events each year on college campuses, i'm heading to university of tennessee next week and i expect a warm welcome. but i've had many instances of protesters and those attending threatened physical violence and been intimidating. beyond administrators punishing those, we have to go to the core of the issue and why and how we got here in the first place. we cancel and we self-censure

ourselves, that is up to parents to teach young people to be proud of your beliefs and values and stand in those values and maintain those values, even when it is not easy. it is not easy to be conservative on college campuses, especially indoctrination. it is important for young people to understand, you have to be unafraid to offend people who are not afraid to offend you, then we won't be shutting down free speech events. it is not always easy, but it will be worth it and to liberals, remember free speech is not saying what you want to say, but hearing what you don't want to hear from time to time. >> carley: at the time cruz said a lot of businesses are not safe

spaces anymore. they actually are and there are young people that are bullying executives and there are adults that are getting pushed around by the lilennials and gen z group of young, woke people coming into their corporation. that is a real problem. >> tomi: it is. the reason this is upon haing again is because liberal voices feel they are the majority. when is last time a liberal was shy about sharing their political beliefs and ideals? rarely, if ever. conservatives walk into a group and they are worried about being conservative, for the most part. it is liberating factor when you can walk in and say i'm conservative, i respect your opinion, but when people know you stand and stand proudly, they usually respect it, that is my message to young people and all people, stand and be proud, otherwise, are they your beliefs in the first place?
