Ben Shapiro Takes On College Students At TPUSA
Summary
Ben Shapiro campaigns at the University of Iowa, warning that a Democratic midterm victory would lead to impeachment, defunding of the military, and the return of "woke" policies. He defends the Trump administration’s successes in ending government discrimination, closing the border, and confronting Iran, while dismissing critics who claim the war failed. In the Q&A, Shapiro addresses the Cornell 7 case, Charlie Kirk’s views, and pushes back against accusations of Israeli genocide, emphasizing the complexity of urban combat and Hamas tactics.
