Charlie Kirk Targeted at UC Davis as Campus Protests Escalate and Michael Knowles Faces Cancellation at Pittsburgh
Campus protests have returned with force as Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA faced coordinated attacks at the University of California Davis, where over a hundred protesters threw eggs, pepper-sprayed attendees, and vandalized property. The Sacramento Bee published a now-deleted tweet falsely claiming Kirk called for lynching of trans people. Meanwhile, Michael Knowles faces cancellation efforts at the University of Pittsburgh over his statements about eliminating the concept of transgenderism in America. This discussion examines the resurgence of campus censorship, the irony of anti-fascist protesters using fascist tactics, and what this generation's inability to handle disagreement means for America's future. The conversation also addresses parental responsibility, the importance of choosing non-woke colleges, and why conservatives must financially support aligned media companies to effectively counter the liberal default setting of modern culture.
Campus Protests Return With Coordinated Attack at UC Davis
After a period of relative quiet on college campuses, leftist student protests have returned with intensity. Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA became targets of a coordinated attack by students at the University of California Davis and the local Sacramento Bee newspaper. The newspaper called for cancellation of the event, alleging that Kirk called for a lynching of trans people. The tweet has since been deleted because the claim was not true.
Over a hundred protesters surrounded the venue attempting to disrupt the event. They hurled eggs at attendees, pepper-sprayed people to block them from entering, and vandalized property including breaking windows. Video footage captured protesters smashing windows while others cheered, with signs visible reading "bash fash" in reference to fascism.
The irony of these self-proclaimed anti-fascists using fascist tactics to silence speech they disagree with appears lost on the protesters. They claim to hate fascism while actively working to block people from speaking, demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of the principles they claim to uphold.
Michael Knowles Faces Cancellation at University of Pittsburgh
Concurrently, Michael Knowles is facing cancellation efforts at the University of Pittsburgh over his statement that he wants to eliminate or eradicate the idea of trans in America. Student activists mischaracterized his statement as calling for trans people to be eradicated and killed, when his actual point was that the concept of being transgender should not exist in this country. His position is simply that people should stop talking about trans anything because you are either a boy or a girl, and the idea that someone can be trans, even as an adult, should not be entertained.
Student activists created petitions to cancel Knowles' speaking event. One petition states: "It is unacceptable and against the values of this University to allow groups under its Administration and on its behalf to host events featuring individuals who wish to advance a platform of hate and transphobia to make our beloved institution an accomplice to the trending attacks that place trans bodies and Humanity in the middle of a culture War fabricated entirely for political gain."
The university administration has acknowledged the situation as "very toxic" but has not yet shut down the event. This represents another example of the growing demand among students for protection from speech they find offensive or hateful.
The Speech Protection Problem and Future Implications
The idea that students need to be protected from speech is deeply concerning for America's future. This generation is growing up believing they need protection from words and ideas they disagree with. These individuals will eventually become adults in charge of companies, raising children, and potentially running the country. Their inability to handle disagreement and their demand for censorship of opposing viewpoints represents a fundamental weakness that does not bode well for their future competence.
However, there is a counterargument that these individuals will not actually succeed in running major companies or institutions. Nature has a way of sorting these things out. These protesters lack the competence required to make tough decisions in boardrooms or handle the challenges of actual leadership. Evidence can be seen in companies like Disney that have embraced gender ideology and seen their businesses fail. Even very smart businessmen who bought into these cultural movements have had to revisit their agendas because the approaches simply do not work in a capitalist system.
The only way these individuals could end up running institutions is if America becomes a completely communist state. In a free market system, their inability to deal with reality and make difficult decisions will prevent them from succeeding at the highest levels. They are incapable of sitting in a boardroom and making tough calls because they have never faced real adversity or consequences for their actions.
The Importance of College Choice and Parental Engagement
Parents face a critical decision about whether to send their children to college at all, and if so, where. Research is essential to find non-woke colleges like Hillsdale that actually teach students and allow for real debate. This kind of environment is essential for developing critical thinking skills and the ability to engage with opposing viewpoints.
Parents must be more engaged than ever before in their children's education and development. The temptation to hand children over to screens and entertainment must be resisted. Active parenting is difficult but necessary to prevent children from being indoctrinated by the dominant liberal culture.
Fathers in particular need to step up. We are raising man-children instead of real men. As Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face. These protesters have never faced real consequences for their behavior. They have never had a whooping in their lives and are still not getting one now. At some point, they will encounter reality when they flap their gums in the wrong setting and receive a dose of real-world consequences.
The Liberal Default Setting of American Culture
Growing up in modern American society, liberalism is the default setting. If you simply do everything normally and consume regular media and culture, you will become liberal. The culture itself is liberal. When these kids reach college age, they are exposed to even more extreme ideas. Because they want to rebel against what they perceive as the establishment, they take these liberal ideas further and further.
The irony is that they think conservatives are the establishment, even though conservatives clearly are not in control. Conservatives have not won the popular vote in a long time and do not control the culture. Conservatives are actually the rebellion, but these students cannot see that reality.
Similar scenes play out at universities across the country. Students go crazy whenever conservative speakers appear on campus. Universities consistently agree with the student activists that conservative speech is "toxic," providing institutional validation for censorship efforts. There is no real blowback against the protesters, even when they vandalize property that they themselves pay for through tuition.
The Necessity of Supporting Conservative Media
YouTube represents a necessary evil for conservative content creators. It is a platform that must be used but is fundamentally aligned against conservative values. Every click on YouTube generates revenue for a company that opposes conservative principles.
To truly affect the culture, conservatives must financially support media entities that are aligned with their values. This means subscribing to services like Blaze TV rather than simply watching free content on YouTube. While it might seem like just one click does not matter, individual actions add up. Companies follow the money, and if conservatives want media that represents their viewpoints, they must invest in it.
This principle extends beyond media subscriptions. If conservatives invested in movies at the same level they invest in political campaigns or university buildings, the cultural impact would be enormous. The Oscars used to be viewed by six billion people around the world, representing a massive platform for cultural influence. Yet many conservative billionaires who made their money in oil or other industries refuse to invest in media, preferring instead to put their names on university buildings.
The problem with this approach is that their grandchildren will likely tear those names down from the buildings because they will have been indoctrinated by the liberal culture that dominates universities. It is difficult to get wealthy conservatives to understand that putting a hundred million dollars into a movie company would change the culture far more effectively than putting a hundred million dollars into a single Senate campaign.
The battle for America's future is fundamentally a cultural battle, and culture is shaped by media and entertainment. Until conservatives recognize this reality and invest accordingly, the liberal default setting of American society will continue to produce generation after generation of students who view conservative speech as hateful violence that must be silenced.

[00:43] be clear
[00:44] um okay I want to get to this next story
[00:45] about you know
[00:48] for a while I feel like it was
[00:49] relatively quiet on the college campus
[00:51] scene when it came to all of these
[00:53] leftist sissies protesting anytime
[00:56] someone came said something that hurts
[00:58] my feelings
[01:00] um but uh recently a couple different
[01:01] events have taken place first Charlie
[01:04] Kirk and turning point uh were the
[01:06] targets of a coordinated attack by
[01:08] students at University of California
[01:10] Davis in the local newspaper over there
[01:12] the Sacramento Bee so the newspaper had
[01:15] called for a cancellation of the event
[01:16] alleging they said Charlie Kirk called
[01:19] for a lynching of trans people I'm sure
[01:21] you guys will all be shocked to hear
[01:23] that um the Tweet has now been deleted
[01:26] uh because it it wasn't true so I you
[01:30] know there's that
[01:31] um but uh there were a hundred protests
[01:34] that surrounded the venue attempting to
[01:36] disrupt the event uh they were hurling
[01:38] eggs they were pepper spraying people to
[01:40] block them from entering here is a
[01:42] little bit of this scene watch
[01:54] one of the science breeds
[01:58] oh good just just breaking a little
[02:00] window
[02:16] oh good more windows broken that's great
[02:20] [Applause]
[02:22] so it's really fascinating because um
[02:25] you see these people I mean you saw the
[02:27] the the poster that said bashfash right
[02:29] fascism oh we're we're anti-fascists we
[02:33] hate fascism that's why we want to block
[02:36] people from speaking they don't
[02:39] understand the irony of this I don't I'm
[02:41] like you guys are
[02:43] really stupid you're just really stupid
[02:45] people
[02:46] um if you think that you're the good
[02:47] guys and somehow anti-fascist
[02:50] um so I want to throw in one other story
[02:52] that's kind of going on concurrently
[02:54] here which is our friend Michael Knowles
[02:56] good friend of the of the program
[02:58] Michael Knowles is um he is supposed to
[03:01] speak at uh I believe this is upit so
[03:03] the University of Pittsburgh and they're
[03:06] calling for the cancellation of Michael
[03:08] Knowles to come speak because you know
[03:11] he did say that he wants to eliminate or
[03:15] eradicate uh the idea of trans in this
[03:19] country right and so that there was that
[03:21] whole big city oh my God Michael Knowles
[03:23] is calling for all trans people to be
[03:26] eradicated and killed no he didn't he
[03:29] just the point was I don't think that
[03:32] that trans should be a thing in this
[03:33] country we should stop talking about
[03:35] trans anything you're a boy or you're a
[03:37] girl and that's it why are we even
[03:38] entertaining the idea that you can
[03:41] possibly be trans even after you're an
[03:42] adult that doesn't exist why can we not
[03:45] say that and I just wanted to draw
[03:47] attention to some of these petitions
[03:49] that student activists have um have
[03:51] created in order to cancel the event
[03:53] which by the way
[03:54] um these the the the college itself has
[03:58] said uh they have agreed they haven't
[04:00] shut it down yet but they have agreed
[04:02] that this is very it's a very it's very
[04:04] toxic stuff here that we're dealing with
[04:06] so uh in the petition it says it is
[04:09] unacceptable and against the values of
[04:10] this University to allow groups under
[04:12] its Administration and on its behalf to
[04:14] host events featuring individuals who
[04:16] wish to advance a platform of hate and
[04:18] transphobia to make our beloved
[04:20] institution an accomplice to the
[04:22] trending attacks that place trans bodies
[04:24] and Humanity in the middle of a culture
[04:27] War fabricated entirely for political
[04:29] gain uh and it just you know
[04:33] I just
[04:36] I very much worry I know we talked about
[04:38] in the last segment we talked about Tick
[04:40] Tock and we talked about the you know
[04:42] these Jens ears that are are growing up
[04:44] with no relationships and and growing up
[04:46] on screens but this whole idea that you
[04:52] need to protect someone from speech we
[04:54] need you to protect us from speech it's
[04:57] too hateful you have to protect us from
[04:59] it is just these people are going to
[05:01] grow into adults and they're going to be
[05:03] actually like the people in charge
[05:06] of companies of kids of the country like
[05:11] and they're worried about protecting
[05:13] someone from actual speech I'm concerned
[05:18] do you know what I'm actually not
[05:20] concerned really yeah because Nature has
[05:24] a way they're actually not going to be
[05:25] the people that run these companies what
[05:27] it's going to be is like our kids are
[05:30] going to be the ones that run the
[05:31] company God Lord I hope so they will
[05:34] because they are not competent these
[05:36] companies are failing you know we've
[05:37] seen it with what's happening at Disney
[05:39] the welcome gender there even very very
[05:41] smart businessmen that are trying like
[05:43] kind of like buying into this
[05:46] they're buying into it it's just not a
[05:49] success it's not working so they're
[05:50] having to go back
[05:52] and and revisit all their um or their
[05:55] agendas because because look
[05:58] the system is the system you can try and
[06:00] change the system but really like in a
[06:02] capitalist system you are going to fail
[06:04] like the only way that they will become
[06:06] these people that run things is if this
[06:08] country does become a completely
[06:10] communist state because because you know
[06:13] they they they can't deal with it I mean
[06:16] imagine sitting in a boardroom and and
[06:18] having to make any kind of like tough
[06:19] decisions they're incapable of doing it
[06:21] and so do not send your kids to college
[06:25] or if you do please send them like do
[06:28] your research go to a non-walk college
[06:30] like Hillsdale or something like that
[06:32] where you know they actually teach kids
[06:34] things and they allow them to have
[06:36] debate and that that is crucial like if
[06:38] you are going to send your kids to those
[06:40] places then you have to really really
[06:41] choose again I'm afraid to actually
[06:43] write children you've got a parent I
[06:46] know it's really difficult I know you
[06:47] want to give it to the net the the
[06:49] Netflix babysitter but you can't right
[06:51] we've got to be more engaged than ever
[06:54] now yeah uh and that's that's just a
[06:56] fact and here's the other thing
[06:58] Mike Tyson said everyone has a plan
[07:01] until they get hit in the face those
[07:03] people have never had a whooping in
[07:06] their lives right and they're still not
[07:07] getting a whooping right now and at some
[07:10] point they're going to be in a bar and
[07:12] there's going to be a bunch of Cowboys
[07:14] or a bunch of Army Rangers and they're
[07:16] going to Flap their gums and then
[07:17] they're going to get a dose of reality
[07:19] right the fact of the matter is is we
[07:22] are raising
[07:23] man children like men children and and
[07:26] we're not raising real men and this is a
[07:29] this is really a call to action for for
[07:31] parents and and in particular in Army
[07:33] are going about Dads Dads have got to
[07:35] step up yeah yeah and what's really
[07:37] difficult with that is a lot of these
[07:39] companies taking the affirmative action
[07:40] approaches so like white kids
[07:44] it's going to be tough to get them jobs
[07:46] because you know they have to read their
[07:48] meet their racial quotas and whatnot uh
[07:50] their gender quotas whatever the case
[07:52] may be instead of you know who's best
[07:53] for the job
[07:55] but
[07:56] yet if you grow up from a young age in
[08:00] this society and you just grow up do
[08:02] everything regular do normal things
[08:04] right you will become liberal it is the
[08:07] default setting so as these people in
[08:11] the culture yeah because I mean that's
[08:12] just how everything is yeah the culture
[08:15] is liberal you will become liberal so
[08:18] when they get to this college age
[08:19] they're being thrown ideas and like I
[08:22] mentioned before they don't you know
[08:24] watch people like us too often who
[08:26] encounter these arguments and whatnot so
[08:28] they take it further and further because
[08:31] when you're in college you want to you
[08:32] know rebel against the establishment and
[08:34] for some reason they think that we're
[08:36] The Establishment even though you know
[08:38] it's clearly we're not in control we
[08:39] don't have the popular vote in a long
[08:41] time we're not in control
[08:42] we are the Rebellion yeah we are the
[08:44] Rebellion but they think they're
[08:45] rebelling they're in college you know
[08:47] they grew up now they're liberal and
[08:49] it's like you see this full force you
[08:51] saw this uh I don't know if you guys saw
[08:54] a video I uh me and my buddies took of
[08:56] Jeff younger at UNT where the and it was
[09:00] just saying he was going crazy it's a
[09:01] little it's a little two of the same at
[09:03] all these was that a male or a female
[09:04] that was a girl trying to be a dude okay
[09:07] I believe but yeah you see that at all
[09:09] these places
[09:11] and it's just going to continue I mean
[09:13] there's no blowback like you saw the
[09:15] school agreed that it was toxic and UNT
[09:19] also agrees that it's toxic all these
[09:21] major universities are agreeing with the
[09:23] students but what I think the funniest
[09:25] part of this is the kids are trying to
[09:28] break down the windows right
[09:29] they pay for that that's coming out of
[09:31] their tuition you know they're just
[09:33] upping their bills well
[09:35] yeah but let me make a point Sarah about
[09:38] what you said earlier about freeloading
[09:40] and YouTube the truth about is is
[09:42] YouTube is the enemy right like it's
[09:45] something that we have to use it's a
[09:46] necessary evil but the truth of the
[09:48] matter is and we don't do this and I've
[09:50] gone on and on and on about this for
[09:51] years about about how we
[09:54] affect the culture sign up for the blaze
[09:58] that's how you affect the culture you
[10:00] start putting money into a media entity
[10:03] that can actually that that is aligned
[10:05] with you you might think oh whatever
[10:07] blah blah but it's a company like
[10:08] everything else and if you're gonna go
[10:10] and you're going to click on YouTube
[10:11] they make money out of that like even
[10:13] you think it's just one click right so
[10:15] if we start backing if you sign up for
[10:17] the Blaze and this is not like a PSA or
[10:19] anything like that you know but it's if
[10:21] you sign up
[10:23] all right um I just want some money back
[10:25] out of this yeah but it's true because
[10:28] it's one of the things that I've said
[10:29] for years is that if if conservatives
[10:31] invested in
[10:32] movies uh then when you get not that it
[10:37] would ever make it to the Oscars because
[10:38] they wouldn't allow it but the Oscars
[10:40] used to be seen by six billion people
[10:42] around the world and that really is a
[10:44] huge platform for influence and and I've
[10:47] seen this with
[10:49] many many billionaires like real
[10:51] billionaires that have made their money
[10:53] in oil or you know and they're aligned
[10:56] with us they're like well we don't
[10:57] really have to get involved in media
[11:00] right but they'll want to put their name
[11:02] on a building in a in a university I'm
[11:04] like your grandchild will rip your name
[11:07] down off that building because they'll
[11:10] be indoctrinated by the culture and I
[11:12] just get like it's really difficult to
[11:14] get them to understand for example
[11:15] they'll put a hundred million dollars in
[11:18] a senate campaign
[11:19] put a hundred million dollars into a
[11:21] movie company and you can change the
[11:23] culture that's a great point that is a
[11:26] really great point if you like that clip
