00:18:04.000The week before that we did a call-in show.
00:18:07.000So tonight the news is a little bit slow.
00:18:10.000So we're going to talk about a few things.
00:18:12.000First we're going to get into this statement from the College Republicans at Iowa State, which I missed yesterday.
00:18:19.000I did my whole show yesterday talking about my trip to Iowa State and I completely neglected, I guess I just didn't see it, but the Iowa Republicans who hosted me, or were supposed to host me on Wednesday night, they posted their own little statement about the event, which I did not find out about until immediately after the show yesterday.
00:18:37.000So we're going to take a look at that and go over it.
00:18:40.000I think it deserves a little bit of special attention.
00:18:43.000We'll talk about International Women's Day and then we will get into a call-in portion of the show and we'll take a little bit of time to take some calls and hear from people.
00:18:52.000It's been a while and some big things have happened so it'll be good to hear from the masses.
00:18:57.000You know I love to hear from the masses.
00:19:14.000Some people, you know, they could describe their experience as less than loving it.
00:19:21.000You know, I don't think they particularly care for the call-ins.
00:19:25.000We'll mix it up a little bit and it should be a fun time.
00:19:27.000But like I said, the first thing we're going to talk about here tonight on this International Women's Day... I have to say we're not going to get into all that right now.
00:19:48.000Has it really been a year since we last talked about International Women's Day?
00:19:51.000Because I feel like these things happen, like, every few months.
00:19:55.000The same thing happened with, like, Holocaust Remembrance Day or something, where it felt like there were three or four within the same month or within, you know, six months.
00:20:07.000But anyway, we'll get into that in a moment.
00:20:09.000The first thing we want to talk about here is this statement.
00:20:13.000Like I said, the statement that was given by the College Republicans, as you know, and maybe people went back and reviewed it, I went to Iowa State on Wednesday for my first ever campus speech, and who knows?
00:20:26.000Maybe that'll materialize into some kind of a college tour in the fall.
00:20:30.000You know, there's early planning stages happening, but that was my debut on the college campus.
00:20:36.000We were finally able to make it happen, and could have gone better.
00:20:40.000It also could have gone a lot worse, but I was there, and
00:20:43.000I discussed in great detail yesterday sort of the build-up to the event, the event itself, some takeaways, some conclusions we can draw from it.
00:20:52.000But something I missed, a little piece of the story that I missed here was from the College Republicans.
00:20:56.000And it's funny because last night on the show I said, oh these guys are pussies and they totally backed out.
00:21:02.000And that was just with the information I had.
00:21:08.000Nobody told me about it, and I don't follow what goes on on Iowa State campus, right?
00:21:12.000I wasn't really keeping apprised of the situation after I got out of there.
00:21:17.000But while I was driving home, you know, it was about a five and a half hour drive from Ames, Iowa back to the suburbs of Chicago.
00:21:24.000While I was en route, you know, and this was a long journey in the wasteland and the
00:21:30.000That's what it appeared to be, I guess.
00:21:32.000You know, just driving past farm after farm and no geographical or topographical features, no landmarks, no nothing.
00:21:40.000While I was driving home, this statement was posted and I totally missed it, but we'll review it here tonight and I'll pull it up on the big screen here so you guys can take a look.
00:21:50.000This statement was posted, like I said, at 1120 a.m.
00:22:08.000And that's, of course, because I went off a little bit about this on Twitter last night.
00:22:13.000Like I said, I did the whole show last night only to discover then, once the show ended, that this had been posted hours before I even went live.
00:22:22.000And so I'll read you the statement in full.
00:22:24.000This is the official College Republican statement over events... I don't know, maybe that's not really the right wording... that transpired on campus last night.
00:22:34.000Bear with me, it's a little bit long and kind of cringe.
00:22:37.000You're going to be cringing the whole time here, but I'll read it in its entirety for you.
00:22:42.000So it says, for immediate release March 7th, 2019, last night's events have left many people shaken.
00:22:50.000People are literally shaking because of this event.
00:22:53.000First and foremost, we want to reiterate that College Republicans had nothing to do with the speaker, Nick Fuentes, who appeared on campus.
00:23:01.000There have been many lies, slanderous attacks, and some genuine honest miscommunication that have appeared recently and we would like to address these issues immediately.
00:23:11.000The aforementioned speaker's views were in no way shape or form representative of the Republican Party's or College Republicans' views.
00:23:19.000College Republicans had been led to believe that this was an approved turning point event with a turning point approved speaker.
00:23:25.000This individual was largely unheard of
00:23:28.000And we had no reason to suspect otherwise.
00:23:31.000His views are in direct contradiction to our club.
00:23:34.000We apologize for our carelessness in that assumption and are deeply sorry to anyone who was hurt by it.
00:23:42.000As previously stated, College Republicans had nothing to do with this event.
00:23:46.000College Republicans cancelled our meeting for this week two weeks ago due to midterms.
00:23:50.000While we did initially have a reservation on one room used, this is because we reserved our meeting rooms for the entire semester over winter break.
00:23:57.000As of Tuesday morning, any hold we had on the room in question should have been cancelled.
00:24:02.000Now, here's my favorite part, the best part perhaps.
00:24:05.000Now, rather than continue to discuss an individual who lives off attention and should be forgotten and left in the past, we would like to commend two individuals who took the time yesterday to respectfully listen to each other's views and create an open dialogue.
00:24:22.000Many times College Republicans has tried to open up an exchange between opposing views and unfortunately we find that oftentimes others are unwilling to meet us halfway and just want to protest and resort to name-calling.
00:24:38.000Last night, Alexis Holmes of the Black Students Alliance and Anthony Labruna of College Republicans held a conversation addressing why they were there to a crowded lecture hall, each focusing on free speech.
00:24:50.000Individuals were allowed to speak after waiting and being properly addressed, and great progress was made to bring people of different backgrounds together.
00:25:01.000It was made clear that members of the Black Student Alliance were there to quietly protest, to listen to what this individual had to say, and to refute anything they disagreed with later.
00:25:10.000Similarly, any college Republican members were there, thinking this was a much different speaker, willing to listen to what he had to say and then think for themselves.
00:25:20.000If one dislikes a message, be it simple,
00:25:23.000Okay, so again, this is just littered with all kinds of clunky and improper wording.
00:25:28.000Be it a simple disagreement or a vile message, the best thing to do is refute the arguments one by one and expose their weaknesses to the world.
00:25:36.000Simply birding or censoring speech only creates a forbidden knowledge, which the taboo makes stronger.
00:25:49.000Because I also read an editorial from the Iowa State Daily, and I don't know, is just the language not their specialty there?
00:25:56.000Is this like, I don't know, I guess that's what you get at a state school, right?
00:26:01.000But anyway, after hearing the speaker, Anthony Labruna later denounced Nick Fuentes stating, quote, everything he said last night were views that are not held by the Republican Party.
00:26:10.000Yeah, damn right, by the way, damn right.
00:26:13.000And maybe that's why the Republican Party is gay and is failing.
00:26:17.000Maybe that's why they're going to go extinct.
00:26:19.000Talk about people being left in the past.
00:26:34.000These are individuals who both their organizations should be proud of and it is with great honor that we can call Anthony Labruna a College Republican.
00:26:41.000The College Republicans of Iowa State University.
00:27:37.000Just for the record, for, you know, the press, for... I got a couple of requests for comment from the media, and I'll get to that after my show tonight.
00:27:46.000Yes, the College Republicans were involved with this.
00:28:26.000All the way from the top, all the way down to college Republicans like this.
00:28:30.000When are people finally going to take some responsibility for their views, for their country?
00:28:36.000Do they really believe that the people in the Black Student Alliance, again, if they just sit down and have a conversation, and there's enough apologizing, and there's enough appeasing, that we're all going to be able to get along?
00:28:48.000Do you think that the people in the Black Student Alliance, all those people, little rows in their handles on Twitter,
00:29:34.000But here I am as a guest, trying to work out this situation logistically with room reservations and everything else, and one of the protesters, this black girl, I don't know if I said this on the show last night, but I tweeted about it, this black girl who, I don't know what organization she was a part of, but she came to
00:29:51.000Whatever it was, protest, or to refute my racist points, or whatever.
00:30:08.000Whether you're a right-wing person, you're a left-wing person, whether people agree with your views, other people don't agree with your views,
