Charlie Kirk Discusses Brutal Attack on Turning Point USA Recruiter at UC Berkeley

[00:00] and just this week at the University of

[00:01] california-berkeley a turning point USA

[00:04] recruiter was brutally attacked we don't

[00:07] know what happened before this video but

[00:09] it doesn't look good oh you could hear

[00:32] that if you ever been punched in the

[00:33] face you know how much that hurts

[00:34] well we reached out to the University

[00:36] and police say they're investigating the

[00:38] incident joining me now is Charlie Kirk

[00:40] founder and president of the group that

[00:42] was attacked an author of campus battle

[00:45] feel also with me American University

[00:46] student and the activist Angelo Kotaro

[00:49] is that right am I getting that Rashad

[00:50] Rashad I'm so sorry Charlie how often do

[00:53] these types of attacks happen against

[00:55] conservative are too often and this one

[00:57] was one of the more brutal ones we've

[00:58] seen recently and the narrative in the

[01:01] media in the last couple weeks on but

[01:03] before the facts came out with the

[01:05] Smollett case is he's a victim we cannot

[01:07] question it this is real victimhood I

[01:09] mean this is a student that was

[01:11] assaulted in the public square because

[01:13] he was tabeling and recruiting for

[01:15] conservative values for our turning

[01:17] point USA chapter at UC Berkeley which

[01:19] ironically was the original birthplace

[01:21] of the Free Speech Movement you know 30

[01:23] or 40 years ago but unfortunately

[01:25] college campuses have not become safe

[01:27] places for conservatives there's a

[01:29] picture of him by the way in the middle

[01:30] how have they not found him yet looks

[01:35] like the same person actually that's the

[01:36] guy who attacked he was on Hannity

[01:38] tonight but there is a anyone knows this

[01:40] guy call the authorities because the the

[01:43] university the Provost I believe the

[01:45] Chancellor put out a statement saying

[01:47] this is unacceptable we do not allow

[01:49] this Angelo this is what Donald Trump

[01:51] jr. he weighed in on this he said when a

[01:53] liberal like Jesse cries wolf and fakes

[01:55] an attack he receives unmatched coverage

[01:57] sympathy and support creating a tsunami

[01:59] of attention when a conservative student

[02:01] literally gets punched in the face and

[02:03] it's caught on video it barely makes a

[02:04] ripple Angelo well here's the thing with

[02:07] that is that when this story first came

[02:10] out was Jesse Smollett our first

[02:11] impression was that this was

[02:13] a legitimate hate crime incident and the

[02:15] reality is that presidents President

[02:16] Trump has taken office hate crimes have

[02:18] risen 17% that's numbers from the FBI's

[02:20] own statistics so the reality here is

[02:23] that while mr. Bhalla may have

[02:25] fabricated this one incident the reality

[02:27] is that crimes on the rise that I

[02:30] believe is because more agencies are now

[02:32] reporting hate crimes that's why that

[02:35] number seems a lot higher than it was

[02:36] previously because now you have more

[02:38] inputs before those agencies weren't

[02:40] reporting all into the national database

[02:42] for hate crimes but any hate crimes a

[02:44] problem and I agree with you I don't

[02:45] want any hate crimes but we're talking

[02:47] about the disparate coverage and I mean

[02:49] American University George Washington

[02:52] University Catholic University George

[02:54] hunt all great schools right in this

[02:55] area a conservative wearing a make

[02:58] America great again hat on those

[03:00] campuses would be would be would be kind

[03:04] of risking it that's a fact would be

[03:06] risking it and I know a lot of great

[03:08] kids who go to Georgetown it's a great

[03:09] school great people but they'd be

[03:11] risking it wouldn't they I don't think

[03:13] that's true she just recently said live

[03:16] right now ray you I know it well good

[03:18] kids but there's a lot of we used to

[03:19] actually we just recently had an

[03:21] incident where a student came through

[03:22] our cafeteria wearing a confederate flag

[03:24] hoodie didn't go to school there wasn't

[03:27] a student had no threats of violence

[03:28] against him but we did have some

[03:30] students who were uncomfortable with it

[03:31] and they talked to security there and

[03:33] asked them if they could do anything

[03:34] about it they didn't end up doing

[03:35] anything about it

[03:36] yeah well that so this video which is

[03:38] horrifying if the attacker was wearing a

[03:40] make America great again hat this is all

[03:42] we would be talking about it would be

[03:43] talking about right into the narrative

[03:45] imagine if a kid like Jessie was hit in

[03:48] the face no no like hit in the face like

[03:49] a kid hit in the face by someone who was

[03:52] a conservative kid of college Republican

[03:55] angel oh come on you know yeah you're a

[03:57] smart guy Angela I'm trying to get

[03:58] Angelo to be a conservative I'm gonna

[04:00] win him over

[04:01] okay I'm gonna win leave the left before

[04:02] we're doing I'm gonna win Angelo over

[04:04] he's too fun and he's too smart I know

[04:06] you are but you know there's a double

[04:08] standard on that come on you can't be

[04:10] saying college campuses are balanced

[04:12] today they're well here's what the

[04:13] double standard is the double standard

[04:15] the difference here is that with the

[04:17] incident with just these smaller we

[04:18] believed that it was an actual incident

[04:20] you're talking about you know an attack

[04:23] against somebody who was a member of a

[04:25] must Oracle a marginalized group he's

[04:27] person of color you believe it when you

[04:28] heard it did you actually believe it I

[04:29] did believe it yeah because neighborhood

[04:32] in Chicago Streeterville

[04:33] who the heck walks through shirt

[04:35] Streeterville not madness no 1:00 in the

[04:36] morning with Maggie I mean it's just it

[04:38] was ludicrous on its face we got people

[04:40] on the other end was like Laura no I

[04:41] don't believe that for two seconds

[04:43] people have call her here

[04:44] well you're one of the points you're

[04:45] talking about is this culture of victim

[04:47] abut the real toxic culture here's

[04:48] what's coming from this president it's

[04:50] his dark vision for America and this

[04:52] idea that if you're he was having a

[04:54] great time today well he was having a

[04:56] great great time tonight Black History

[04:59] Month it was it was oversubscribed at

[05:01] 300 people there charlie yeah three

[05:03] people couldn't get in because it was

[05:04] over pack I mean I think Democrats want

[05:07] to hold on to this this domination

[05:10] political domination of one group I

[05:12] think their time is up I think it I

[05:13] think people are now thinking for

[05:15] themselves I think that's a good thing

[05:16] super quick I've been doing this for six

[05:18] years now visited hundreds of campuses

[05:19] it's only liberals I try to kick me off

[05:22] campus I mean we never try to disinvite

[05:24] left the speaker's they come on campus

[05:26] it is completely slanted in one

[05:28] direction they're afraid of other ideas

[05:30] Angelo I want you back I'm gonna bring

[05:32] you over you're gonna become a

[05:33] conservative Angelo's too smart to be

[05:35] otherwise isn't that I shouldn't say

[05:36] that you can think for yourself baby

[05:38] whatever you want thanks guys thank you

[05:40] up next judge Laura takes the bench
