A British anti-Islam commentator gets arrested.

0:02.6

The media claimed that President Trump is out to get immigrant children, and Louis Farrakhan makes some weirdly pro-Trump noises.

0:08.3

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is the Ben Shapiro show.

0:14.5

Well, I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

0:16.5

I hope you took a few moments out yesterday to pay tribute to our fallen troops who have died so that we can be here doing all sorts of fun things and exercising our American liberties. But I have a lot to get to today in the news. And before we get to any of that, I first want to say thanks to our sponsors over at Mancrates. Now, you've heard me talk about Mancrates before. Mancrates is the best gift a dude can get because here's the problem with Father's Day. Dad isn't going to tell you what to get him and you're going to get them the same gift every year. It's going to be that crappy mug that you made at some sort of pottery shop. Well, don't do that. Instead, go over to man crates. What exactly are man crates? Well, they are hand-picked and packaged gifts for every type of dad. They have the knife-making kit for the hands-on dad or the whiskey appreciation kit for dads who like the finer things or just don't want to deal with you today. Most gifts ship in a sealed wooden crate with a crowbar. So you actually get to pry the man crate open with your manly muscles in front of everyone. When's the last time you gave your dad a gift? He needed a crowbar to open.

1:11.1

It is a thing for men. And with Mancrates, you're giving him a gift experience. It really is

1:16.2

very cool. They have all sorts of different gifts. I have the poker set. One day, I will make

1:20.2

friends. And then we'll play with the poker set that I got from Mancrate sometime in the future.

1:24.2

It came in an ammo can. It really is super cool. Mancrates come with a 100%

1:39.5

slash Ben. Use that slash Ben so they said they know we sent you mancrates.com slash Ben. All right. So there's a lot of

1:47.6

news breaking today. But the big news over the weekend is one that is going oddly unnoticed by the mainstream

1:51.8

media. That, of course, is the arrest of an alt-right, far-right activist named Tommy Robinson,

1:58.0

who was reportedly jailed after filming outside of a child grooming trial in Britain. So Tommy Robinson's very controversial figure. It's hard to figure out exactly where he stands. He's sort of on the fringes of the right. He was the ex-founder of the English Defense League. He's been arrested in the past for some violent run-ins with the police. He's been at rallies that involve anti-Semites, but now he is pro-Israel. So he's sort of all over the place a little bit, and he's made some comments that are actually particularly egregious in the past. He's blamed all Muslims for terrorists, for terrorist attacks, etc. But one thing that he's been doing lately, he's backed off of some of those comments. And one thing he's been doing lately is he's been going outside of these grooming trials in Britain. So for people who haven't been following this, there have been a series of scandals in Britain where it turns out that there were Muslim men, radical Muslims, religious Muslims, who were apparently grooming young children to be essentially gang raped in a couple of locations in Britain. And these were largely covered up by the local police. We've talked about a little bit on the show before.

2:52.0

They were covered up by local police, or at least they weren't fully investigated by local

2:55.5

police.

2:55.9

The press refused to cover them because they were afraid of the anti-Islamic backlash. They were afraid would ensue. Well, here is what happened. This guy Tommy Robinson, who again is a kooky fellow.

3:06.0

He sort of Milo Unopoulos light.

3:07.6

He was arrested and

3:08.2

reportedly jailed on Friday after he filmed members of an alleged child grooming gang
