it's largely the public college administrators. presidents of universities listen to the squeaky wheel, faculty members who, some of them -- students often follow radical faculty members, and i really do think that universities, particularly public universities -- berkeley is a state-funded and federally funded public university, it has an obligation. if not a matter of choice. it must defend the first amendment. if ben shapiro is not allowed to speak, the first amendment will have lost a tremendous battle today, and that is by this is a very important event in the history of our rights. >> tucker: i couldn't agree with that more vehemently, and as i've said, for the second time, you and i are in the opposite side of a lot of important questions. importantly, tell us the reception you have gotten from lifelong liberal friends to the things you have said on this show over the past six months? >> i think they have change sides. i'm a liberal democrat. i voted for hillary clinton. i would vote for her again. i'm just reading her book, which i love. i want to se
