Ben Shapiro DESTROYS Celebrity ICE Reactions

07 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What are the main concerns about undocumented immigration?

0.031 - 13.365 Ben Shapiro

We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully.

0

14.466 - 33.499 Unknown

You can't continue to have open borders and you've got to put more personnel and technology along the borders. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years. Illegal immigration is wrong.

0

34.782 - 59.714 Ben Shapiro

Alrighty, so our celebrity class have many wise things that they think about politics. Hamburger. And they think very, very wise things about immigration and customs enforcement because of course they are truly fluent in border policy and they know all of the ins and outs of what federal, state, and local officials can and should do. And so I look to them for my guidance.

59.734 - 62.519 Ben Shapiro

Here are some of our favorite celebrities telling you about ICE.

0

62.879 - 70.131 Unknown

It's really upsetting to see people forget that, you know, we're a country that we have immigrants to thank for.

70.171 - 85.675 Ben Shapiro

And I feel the same way about my home country in the UK. I mean, we should be thankful for some immigrants. I'm not sure that we should be thankful for mass migration and certainly for the criminally illegal immigrants that ICE is attempting to track down. And ICE continues to show pictures.

88.49 - 110.903 Ben Shapiro

the people that they are tracking down and those people are in large measure people who have committed significant crimes other than just being in the country illegally negative 10 degree weather it was it was beautiful to see that turn out it speaks to how important you know people were felt to have their voice heard and help those elements and you know whatever street fans at our hotel they were they were out and it was

111.406 - 130.376 Ben Shapiro

It was amazing to watch. Again, I'm glad for him that he's happy for the protesters outside the hotel. I really doubt that the members of ICE whose hotels were broken into or who were being yelled at throughout the night in order to keep them awake or who are being obstructed in performance federal duties feel the same.

130.957 - 146.841 Ben Shapiro

I will note, by the way, that the Minnesota Timberwolves actually canceled the game over all of this. What? suggesting there was going to be some sort of violence altercation. There was not. The NHL went right ahead, by the way, and played their game, and there was no problem at all. The NBA is very politicized, which kind of makes me sad because I enjoy the NBA.

Chapter 2: How do celebrities express their views on ICE?

202.38 - 206.206 Ben Shapiro

She's saying it's ICE's fault. Also, I can tell when you're reading the line.

0

206.787 - 209.451 Unknown

I'm not going to be ignored, Dan.

0

209.471 - 218.54 Ben Shapiro

I mean, come on. You should disguise it a little better than that. She's a terrific actress. I'm not sure why she can't act better than that. She's... Okay, anyway, she's better in Fatal Attraction.

0

218.96 - 229.835 Unknown

I could not be prouder to be American right now by the way the Americans are acting, and I could not be sadder to be American right now with the way the government is behaving.

230.156 - 248.313 Ben Shapiro

Good news, you can always go back to France where immigration has been going really, really well. Oh, I thought Paris would be a bit more picturesque. I'm sure things are working out beautifully in terms of immigration policy, open immigration policy in France. We'll get to more on this in just one second. First, sleep quality, it matters an awful lot.

248.354 - 263.284 Ben Shapiro

And it matters more to me as I have more kids. And that just keeps happening. I keep having more children. And that means I need a mattress that works for me. Because when I lie down on that mattress, I only have a certain number of hours I can be on it. I need to be sleeping while I'm on it. That means a mattress that is made just for me. And that's where Helix comes in.

263.264 - 289.356 Ben Shapiro

helix makes it incredibly straightforward to find the right mattress because they have their sleep quiz and that matches you to the perfect mattress based on your specific preferences and sleep needs they're not just another mattress company either helix is the most awarded mattress brand out there with glowing reviews from major publications like forbes and wired it's not just marketing hype a study they conducted found 82 participants actually saw an increase in their deep sleep cycle while sleeping on that helix mattress which is pretty impressive when you think about how crucial quality sleep is for everything else

289.336 - 302.671 Ben Shapiro

in life. And I love my Helix Sleep mattress. It makes a huge difference for me when I'm on the road. I just sleep worse because I don't have it.

317.602 - 346.444 Unknown

We can't go another day just sort of accepting this as our new norm. It's outrageous. People are being murdered. And I don't want to normalize seeing people being murdered on the internet, on film. It's hideous. And so if we can do anything out here to support the movement, to cast ICE out, to delegitimize this unbelievably criminal organization, then that's what we should be doing.

0

346.711 - 355.661 Ben Shapiro

ICE is a criminal organization. You know, the people who are trying to enforce the law. And by the way, she's really upset with the quote-unquote murder of Alex Preddy. Again, that is a disputed circumstance and there should be a full investigation.

0

356.102 - 370.579 Ben Shapiro

All of these celebrities who showed up for these various award ceremonies and talked about ICE, I've yet to see a single word about the tens of thousands of Iranians who were slaughtered in the streets by the Iranian regime. Like not a single word. It's pretty amazing stuff.

0

370.899 - 397.795 Unknown

I never felt scared about what I was going to say until the last couple of years. where you feel like, oh, I have to be careful, or what? I don't know, but there's a kind of fear in the air that I've never felt before, and it's not America. To get to be an artist in a free country, I've had enough of an education to know what a privilege that is, and I don't feel that way anymore.

397.943 - 422.373 Ben Shapiro

Yes, you do. Yes, you do. You literally just made a movie for which you were nominated for best actor about a gay lyricist in the 1950s. Again, you know how you can tell you don't live in a tyrannical regime? The internet is still on. You're still going to your parties and you're still saying whatever nonsense you want to say politically. And you're fine.

422.513 - 430.895 Ben Shapiro

Like no one's coming to Ethan Hawke's house, nor should they. This whole like, I'm living in fear. No, you're absolutely not. You're really, really not.

431.596 - 449.719 Unknown

Bovino went on complaining. Look, Dana, they're trying to portray border patrol agents and ICE agents as Gestapo, Nazi, and many other words. Yes, do not compare ICE or border patrol agents to the Nazis. That's an unfair comparison. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.

450.172 - 464.007 Ben Shapiro

That is absurd. And if Jimmy Kimmel temporarily lost his slot on his affiliates for what he said about Charlie Kirk and who killed Charlie Kirk, this is so much worse than what Jimmy Kimmel said. It's astonishing. Saying that ICE is worse than the Nazis because the Nazis showed their faces.

Chapter 4: How does Ben Shapiro critique celebrity perspectives on immigration?

478.792 - 505.61 Unknown

they chose to, they killed the wrong guy, right? Because this is like the perfect guy. Alex Pratt is the guy you would want to date your daughter, the guy you'd want your son to grow up to be, a decent human being who was serving humanity, serving sick veterans who is, you know, there is nothing that has been said about that man that isn't wonderful. And so they can't malign him.

0

506.351 - 508.714 Unknown

They can't malign him because we have the videos.

0

509.099 - 527.067 Ben Shapiro

Again, we do have the videos. One of those videos involves him following around an ICE car and shouting at them and yelling at them that maybe they should assault him and then kicking out the taillight of one of the cars. So, yeah, I mean, you could say that he was an agitator who was consistently attempting to obstruct federal law enforcement. And again, people are complex.

0

527.327 - 540.468 Ben Shapiro

You can be an ICU nurse doing good things, and also you can be a person who is doing quite terrible things and obstructing federal law enforcement and resisting arrest. You can do all those things all at once. The desire by people to turn that into sainthood is pretty astonishing.

0

541.35 - 566.493 Unknown

This is time for a revolution. it's time for it, and they don't even know that's what they're starting. You know, some very rich old white men are exerting their power to suppress our own people, thus creating a feeling of civil war in the streets, preparing the hate, the haters to hate, teaching them how to shoot, they're not even trained right, to kill.

566.853 - 591.604 Unknown

This is all a preparation for a very insidious um a problem that's happening in our world uh and for me um i i have to speak out that we're we we will not be iced out this is not going to honey they can't take us all down if the whole world showed up on on Putin's doorstep or on the Iranian's doorstep or in Washington, it would stop.

591.644 - 604.287 Unknown

They'll kill a 550 million, however, but the rest of us would survive with a new. We have this is time for a revolution. It's time for it. And they don't even know that's what they're starting.

605.189 - 630.88 Ben Shapiro

What? So his proposal is show up at the White House. armed or unarmed to start a revolution. That's his proposal. Medud, you're at an awards ceremony or a premiere wearing clothing that costs thousands of dollars and stealing cartoon character sunglasses. and you're gonna lead the revolution. It's time for a revolution. What is that revolution?

630.941 - 646.142 Ben Shapiro

By the way, any revolution that truly overturns the existing order, you know the first people it eats, the very, very wealthy artists. Those are the first people always who get eaten, always. Alrighty, so those are members of our celebrity class who have deep thoughts on ICE.
