they say defendants took reasonable steps to facilitate plaintiff s while balancing concerns for security, the university s limited resources and its educational mission. i know there are security fees they have instituted with speakers coming in. that s exactly right. everything they say in the statement they ve acted the opposite. if you look at them saying that they have tried to make accommodations, when we first decided to bring ben shapiro to berkeley, they said we have no o venues for you. that was not the case. suddenly they found a venue and they gave it to us. then two weeks before the event, they restricted two-thirds of the venue saying you can t use two-thirds of it. he can only use the lower level in case someone throws a chair off the balcony. then the institute s security fee. they try to restrict the ticketing process. basically they ve done everything in their power with repeated speakers to prevent students on the campus from hearing conservative ideas. shannon:
speaker events occur to address specific and critical security threats. to bring reasonable steps to facilitate plaintiff events while balancing competing concerns for security, the university s limited resources and its educational mission. there are security fees they have instituted with speakers coming in. everything they say they acted opposite of. if you look at them saying they tried to make accommodations, when we decided to bring ben shapiro they said we have no venues but that was not the case because they found a venue, gave us a venue or two weeks before the event restricted two third of the venues and you can t use two third the venue but just the lower level and they instituted a security fee at the last minute, tried to restrict the ticketing process, they ve done everything with repeated speakers to prevent students on campus from hearing conservative ideas. jillian: the judge who ruled
breach airport security in this video this week, these tests looked at checkpoints, smuggling items through. while tsa did better than two years ago, it still failed most of the time. when we asked if the new failure rate was 80%, a source familiar with the classified report said, you are in the ballpark. the source says the inspector general did not use security experts, instead, secretaries, administrative workers were able to sneak high tech contraband through. while those details remain secret, it could be components for bombs, guns and other weapons. one member had a direct message for the tsa administrator. this agency that you run is broken. badly. david kerley with us live from reagan national airport. and david, it was both republicans and democrats today grilling the tsa chief. but democrats in particular claiming that money is being siphoned away from the tsa, which they say could be used for new technology to close security gaps? reporter: every time you buy a plane
i hope there s no violence tonight. even if there isn t, the existence of this violence in berkeley and other places has put a chill on free speech. as he pointed out, $600,000 for security for ben shapiro, okay? the student group that invited him as being charged $15,000 as a security fee. that is the tuition for a single year at berkeley. thank goodness they ve got groups like the young americans foundation that are willing to pay for that. one, most students can t afford that kind of thing. college campuses around the country, and students are going to be of inviting fewer conservative speakers because they can t afford $15,000 for security when antifa shows up with their clubs and sticks to beat people if they don t agree with. martha: should the university saying, if you break a window, if you cause violence tonight, we don t care which side you were on, you will be arrested, you will be suspended from school. we are sticking up for free speech in every way shape and form, and w
department to simply protect our rights, give us the proper amount of personnel, and a security, and instead of doing that, they slapped a very large security fee on masse, usually over $5,000 for a conservative . then, when writers do show up, when violence is perpetrated, when threats of violence are made, they either have their security and police and peace officers stand down or, in fact, they cancel our event even before we are able to put them on. so, and all of these cases, you have seen high profile, even low profile conservative speaker is prevented from speaking on campus because the university is too cowardly to defend their mantle, the mantle they proudly proclaim every chance they get, which is the birthplace of the free speech movement. like i wrote on the night of february 1st, i said, the free speech movement is dead. the very birthplace of the free speech movement is also its grave. tucker: i don t have anything to add to that other
