What incident sparked the discussion on tolerance and policing in the UK?

Ben Shapiro 0:00
Did you just stab a white person in public? Are the police on the scene? If the answer is yes, here are your options. Well, if you're a white person, you surrender immediately and go directly to jail. If you're not a white person, you should say that the white person did something racist to you and then watch as the police let your victim bleed out and then maybe get out of jail early. That is the horrifying truth of Henry Novak. We'll talk about what it means for the West. We'll get to my take on Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur's ban from the UK. And we'll discuss why Sesame Street is apparently pushing gay Muppets or something again. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

Folks, if you don't want to destroy your own civilization, you really ought not import people who seek to weaponize your own values against you or train an entire generation of people to weaponize your values against you. This is the running theme in the West right now. We have certain values like, say, racial tolerance. It's a good value. It's a good thing to be tolerant of people of other races because, hey, why does melanin level matter? Or free speech. That's a great value. But what happens when we import people who hate those values or if we teach our kids to weaponize those values and use them against us? Well, today's Exhibit A is this case, this case of Henry Novak in the UK. So you have been seeing this story blowing up your social media, and there is a very good reason for that.

What are the implications of the Henry Novak case for racial tolerance?

Ben Shapiro 1:22
So according to. the Fox News website, English police are facing mounting scrutiny after officers handcuffed an 18-year-old university student as he bled to death following a fatal stabbing, allegedly after believing the attacker's false claim he had been the victim of a racist assault. That case has sparked outrage across Britain, fueling political debate over policing and prompting calls for the release of body-worn camera footage from the responding officers. So here's what happened. A person named Vikram Digwa, who is 23, was convicted on Thursday in the UK of murdering Henry Novak, an 18-year-old finance student at the University of Southampton during a confrontation December 3rd, 2025. He will be eligible for parole.

in about 20 years at the age of 43, which is sort of a mid-range murder sentence in the UK.

How did Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur get banned from the UK?

Ben Shapiro 2:08
Theoretically, you could get what's called a whole life sentence if they believe that you were committing a murder for racist reasons or terrorist reasons. That was not used here in order to get a longer sentence. Officers arriving at the chaotic scene initially treated Novak as the suspect after Digwa allegedly claimed he had been racially abused and attacked. They actually handcuffed the guy who'd been stabbed. He later collapsed and died at the scene despite attempts to administer first aid. Apparently, according to the prosecutors, Digwa stabbed Novak multiple times using a 21 centimeters and eight inch blade described in court originally as a Sikh Kirpan style weapon. Apparently, this was not, in fact, a Kirpan that seeks wear out of religious obligation.

But Digwa's brother did hide the knife that had been used in the 999 call, which is the equivalent of 911 over in the U.K., His mom was also convicted of assisting an offender because she arrived at the scene before the murder weapon was taken by the police back to, she took the murder weapon back to their home to hide it. Okay, so the body cam footage is shocking and truly shocking. And this is almost a mirror image in particular ways of the George Floyd death. Henry Novak, you can hear him on the tape saying, I can't breathe because he can't, he's dying. He is dying because he was stabbed.

What are the effects of weaponizing tolerance in society?

Ben Shapiro 3:32
Here is the body cam footage.
Unknown 3:34
I'm saying he's been stabbed. They don't believe him.
Ben Shapiro 3:49
They handcuff him.
Unknown 3:50
I can't breathe. Put the hand in the cuff, mate. I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
Ben Shapiro 4:11
He's literally dying on the camera, obviously.
Unknown 4:13
Where do you think you've been stabbed? In the face?

How does the police response to racial allegations impact justice?

Unknown 4:17
Oh, no, but we have to check, don't we? In the face? Eventually, a female officer says that you have to check.
