[applause] a lot of people are debating whether or not he is too offensive or that's not even the argument. the argument is that they still have first amendment rights matter what. free speech. i'd be much more afraid where it's not being protected of any speaker. greg: tyrus, there are people all over the world that are suffering the refugees, they compare and they don't need counseling but they try to find a job and work. these kids

. >>> a strong police presence will be during the appearance on of ben shapiro. we are at u.c. berkeley with more. >> reporter: ben shapiro will be speaking on campus tomorrow but today, so much computer is in place around campus and on campus. >> we are all concerned about thursday. >> reporter: that concern has prompted security prep on and around the campus where ben shapiro will be speaking. >> we made changes with different strategy and tactics tomorrow and more officers and tools at their proposal. >> reporter: one of the tools? pepper spray backed by the mayor and city council as a line of defense. the unexpected means relying on what has happened in the past. protests now are different. anarchists turn peaceful protests into problems. >> we will stop anyone wearing a mask. we will be confronting anybody who wants to engage in unlawful behavior. >> reporter: berkeley's police she -- chief said they will be coordinating for the rest of free speech week. >> you have free speech week up here, so you have another provocative event held to generate a response and those respon

ben shapiro. >> the speech started late but once ben shapiro got started, he spoke without being interrupted, except for some cheers and applause. he made provocative statements. >> there are students who want to hear differing views, who don't want to be told they can only hear one view, who don't believe that first amendments should die under the birkenstocks under mayor kit pieces of garbage he says as a conservative jew, he is not a white supremacist and is not a supporter of president trump and he blasted the alt right and the extremist left. >> none everybody agreed with him. he have invite opponents to speak first. >> it's hard for hold an event like this when there are so many strong varying opinions. they did a great job. >> the speech and questions lasted more than 90 minutes. some people agreed with shapiro, others did not. most said they just wanted to hearing the dialogue. >> we can goat a brighter moment if we stop seeing each other as members of groups and see each other as individuals made in god's image. >> i think most of his political positions are well thought. i liked it

. >>> problems at uc berkeley as the officials get ready for the speech by the conservative ben shapiro. >>> the president and first lady tour florida to look at the damage from hurricane irma. >>> mornings on 2 starts now. >>> good afternoon, i am gasia mikaelian. >> i am alex savidge. >>> this afternoon two lanes of 580 in the east bay are closed nearly eight hours after the deadly crash created a traffic nightmare for commuters. >> this is near castro valley at the dublin gray just after 4 am this morning, and leigh martinez is monitoring the cleanup efforts. >> reporter: we had to move off the highway because two lanes are open, lanes three and four are open but lanes one and two are closed which is why the traffic is dragging along. they hoped to have it cleared by noon but that is not happening because one of the semi trucks involved in the accident had a full load. they tried to drag it but that was not working. they literally have to take everything out of the truck, and we have another truck waiting to take on that freight but it is taking a long time. this crash happened sever

folks who went inside to see shapiro had to get through a metal detector. one student tells me he is fed up with all of the drama. >> there's a lot of divide and a lot of name-calling and hatred and i really don't think that's what this country needs. i feel like people need to at least start a dialogue to bridge the divide that has been happening the last few years. >> it was not clear whether they made up a large portion. it did not seem they were a majority of the crowd. >> to be fair most of the night was peaceful. we even saw a group hug between people on the right and left and at one point someone broke out an american flag but someone chanted for it to be burned but it did not happen. even after ben shapiro's crowd left, the antifascist group was on the microphone urging people to show restraint. don't take the bait. we did see a few scuffles where people were talking. it was loud, they were going back and forth but for the most part the only injury we saw was that one woman who was on the ground and i want to point out, the university said they spen

i think it was ben shapiro, a week or two ago was supposed to go out there. cost him $600,000 to protect the conservative guy simply exercising his freedom of speech. >> right. what we see often is the hecklers veto we call it. that means that a group of protesters raise a ruckus before a speaker comes. often the speech is either canceled or put in secondary location that is not effective. there is a bias, i think, personally, pretty clearly against conservative speech. ben shapiro, 33-year-old, brilliant, jewish harvard law graduate, they sent out a notice before he came to berkeley and said if it upsets you so badly we will give you counseling for the students who might be faint or something if he spoke there. this is, kind of ridiculous. we need robust, open, debate on college campuses. that is the ideal that has made our universities great. abby: what about the football field? you have said that the nfl players, they should stop kneeling for the national anthem. a lot of critics of yours this morning saying isn't that a symbol of free speech? >> look, i b
