00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody.
00:00:00.000 Today, the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000 James O'Keefe has a major announcement and reflections from the front lines at UC Davis, the day after Davis.
00:00:07.000 Very important.
00:00:08.000 I want to just brag on our team at Turning Point USA.
00:00:10.000 Our team at Turning Point USA, they're the front lines.
00:00:12.000 They do an unbelievable job.
00:00:14.000 There is no more important organization than Turning Point USA in America.
00:00:17.000 If you feel compelled to support us, tpusa.com.
00:00:20.000 We're now at Blexit.
00:00:21.000 We got all sorts of things happening.
00:00:23.000 We are the center of the movement.
00:00:24.000 I believe Turning Point USA is the life force of the movement.
00:00:28.000 I've said that for a while and I believe it to be true.
00:00:30.000 Go to tpusa.com.
00:00:31.000 That is tpusa.com.
00:00:33.000 Email me freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:00:39.000 That is Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:40.000 And as always, you can email me freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:44.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:45.000 Here we go.
00:00:46.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:48.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:50.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:53.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:56.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:57.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:58.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:01:00.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:07.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:16.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:18.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:28.000 Yesterday was quite the event at University of California, Davis.
00:01:30.000 It went viral as the Antifa stormtrooper terrorists did everything they possibly could to try to gain entry into the building.
00:01:39.000 Violent intimidation, outright assault, pepper spray, throwing up projectiles.
00:01:44.000 I do want to praise the police.
00:01:46.000 They were wonderful.
00:01:47.000 They were excellent.
00:01:48.000 They were disciplined.
00:01:50.000 They did a fabulous job in Davis, California, and they deserve to be thanked.
00:01:55.000 And that is a tough, tough job up against these terrorists.
00:01:58.000 I also want to thank our Turning Point USA staff and team.
00:02:04.000 We have the greatest team in the movement.
00:02:06.000 We really do.
00:02:07.000 They fight so hard.
00:02:09.000 They put themselves in danger every day.
00:02:12.000 And, you know, we get emails, Charlie, oh, you know, there's no hope.
00:02:16.000 You want to see hope go to a Turning Point USA event.
00:02:18.000 We have several coming up next week, Rutgers, LSU, Ohio State University.
00:02:21.000 But we're going to put all of that aside because we have something actually much more important to talk about today.
00:02:28.000 We're going to lead today on the Ides of March.
00:02:32.000 Beware the Ides of March, as Shakespeare wrote, with someone who was, quite honestly, treated very terribly, not dissimilar to that of Julius Caesar, but he is rising like the Phoenix, and he has a very, very big announcement for us today, and that is James O'Keefe.
00:02:52.000 James, welcome to the program.
00:02:53.000 Hey, Charlie, great to be back with you.
00:02:56.000 So, James, I understand you have an announcement for our audience.
00:02:59.000 First, tell us how you're doing.
00:03:01.000 Give us whatever backstory you can about this hellish whirlwind of the last month, and then share the announcement with our audience.
00:03:09.000 Well, as I said, about three weeks ago, I'm starting anew, and we've just launched today our new venture.
00:03:19.000 We're calling it O'Keeffe Media Group, OMG.
00:03:23.000 I've assembled a team of some of the top journalists in the world, and we have our website, which should be live.
00:03:30.000 It should be live actually right now.
00:03:32.000 If you just go to O'KeeffeMediaGroup.com.
00:03:35.000 And what we're doing, Charlie, is we're going to be sending cameras into the hands of hundreds of people.
00:03:40.000 We're going to be creating a citizen army of journalists because so many people have reached out to me over the last month after what has happened, after the Pfizer story and all the aftermath.
00:03:53.000 So, we are going to put these cameras into the hands of people.
00:03:56.000 And if you go on the website, you can subscribe to this platform, which we're going to be releasing stories as I have.
00:04:03.000 But we're also going to be, you're going to be able to buy a camera, sponsor a camera, and put it into the hands of people throughout the country as we create this army for truth.
00:04:13.000 So this website has just launched actually like a few minutes ago.
00:04:16.000 So you're getting an exclusive breaking news story, Charlie, on this.
00:04:20.000 It's amazing.
00:04:20.000 So thank you for your support and hope people sign up.
00:04:24.000 Yeah.
00:04:24.000 And so the website is o'KeefMediaGroup.com.
00:04:27.000 I encourage everyone, contribute if you can.
00:04:29.000 And look, I'm going to editorialize here, James.
00:04:31.000 You can say whatever you want.
00:04:32.000 James was treated terribly over the last month and James has done heroic work for the last decade and has put real points on the board, has really put the left on defense.
00:04:41.000 And James is now being the entrepreneur and saying, you know what, we're going to keep on doing this work.
00:04:46.000 We're going to do this investigative journalism, whether it be with Pfizer, whether it be DHS, whatever it might be.
00:04:52.000 And we need to keep everybody in the audience right now, we need to give James the ammunition, metaphorical ammunition to be able to fight these bad guys.
00:05:01.000 Okay.
00:05:02.000 We've got to be able to give him the support.
00:05:03.000 We've got to get behind him.
00:05:04.000 And so look, you can go there.
00:05:05.000 It's o'KeefMediaGroup.com.
00:05:07.000 We're going to put this on all of our social and support him if you can, because I know a lot of you in our audience, James, we got over 1,000 emails of people that said, I'm no longer going to support Veritas.
00:05:16.000 Understandable.
00:05:17.000 Then support this.
00:05:18.000 So James, tell about the model.
00:05:19.000 So now you're going to use the same proven strategy, the same tactics of the last decade, but now you're going to do it through a new venture.
00:05:27.000 Explain more.
00:05:28.000 Yeah.
00:05:28.000 So we have this video that as I'm on the air with you, it's being posted to our social media, but it's basically this explanatory video where we've received so many thousands of emails from people saying, how can I help?
00:05:43.000 That's what everyone wants to know.
00:05:44.000 What can I do?
00:05:44.000 How can I help?
00:05:45.000 So what you can do is subscribe to this website and actually sponsor, pay for a camera that we will put into the hands of the thousands of the people that have contacted me personally who want to go record abuse in their city hall, in their school board, wherever.
00:06:01.000 So the model is not just going to be a tiny group of people.
00:06:04.000 It's going to be thousands of people that we're going to train and equip on this website.
00:06:09.000 We have stories that we're about to break, but the story today is the existence of this website.
00:06:16.000 I'm going to be hosting classes.
00:06:17.000 I'm going to be doing seminars on journalism around the country.
00:06:21.000 And we are going to create an army of thousands of people.
00:06:23.000 They have awakened a sleeping giant.
00:06:25.000 I knew they were going to come after me in every possible way, Charlie.
00:06:28.000 You know, through the years, it's been defamation, arrests, the FBI being thrown out of the organization I founded.
00:06:36.000 I knew they would try to ruin the reputations of the people who did this.
00:06:39.000 It's not surprising to me.
00:06:41.000 But in response, they have awakened a sleeping giant.
00:06:45.000 And the millions of people with all the goodwill out there who want to do something, well, this is the answer.
00:06:51.000 I've assembled, again, a team of about a dozen elite journalists that are currently working for me.
00:06:58.000 And we are going to do, we are going to create an army of citizen journalists, the likes of the world has never seen before.
00:07:04.000 So look at O'Keeffe Media Group.
00:07:06.000 While we're on the show.
00:07:08.000 While we're on right now, I'm going to become a supporter because I believe so firmly in what you do, James.
00:07:13.000 And look, I don't say this lightly, everybody.
00:07:15.000 We got to get James up and running.
00:07:18.000 Got to get him the staff.
00:07:19.000 Got to get him to support.
00:07:20.000 The movement is lost without James O'Keefe putting points on the board.
00:07:24.000 But James, can you just, and I know you got to be careful because there's pending legal stuff and all this, but can you just give us some depth into how you are doing, how you're holding up?
00:07:33.000 Because this has not been an ideal month for you.
00:07:35.000 And we've received thousands of emails from our audience praying for you, asking how to support, asking what they can do.
00:07:41.000 The people are worried about you personally.
00:07:43.000 How are you holding up?
00:07:44.000 Just walk us through all of that.
00:07:46.000 Well, thank you for, and by the way, thank thanks to everyone out there who's watching this and listening.
00:07:54.000 It has been quite a journey.
00:07:56.000 Um, for the last 14 years, I have been through a number of things that have prepared me for this.
00:08:03.000 I mean, I was on effective house arrest for three years.
00:08:06.000 I was on federal probation for something I didn't do back in 2010.
00:08:10.000 Um, the meteoric rise of the Acorn story with Andrew Breitbart.
00:08:13.000 Remember that one, Charlie, in 2009?
00:08:15.000 I met you shortly thereafter, you know, where Congress defunds the hot and lows of my life.
00:08:21.000 Um, two federal jury trials in three years, um, jury trials, federal court, defamation.
00:08:30.000 I mean, the likes of which people can't even fathom.
00:08:33.000 So, those things were ostensibly worse than what I just went through.
00:08:39.000 In that, I've been through a lot, and my colleagues have been through a lot.
00:08:43.000 So, I'm personally doing fine.
00:08:44.000 I will say that I have seen so much support.
00:08:50.000 Um, my phone, I probably got 5,000 text messages in a week and from everyone I've ever known, really, in any way-acquaintances, friends, supporters.
00:09:00.000 That's that's um sources.
00:09:02.000 So, it was very heartwarming.
00:09:04.000 It was painful, I guess, for a few days.
00:09:06.000 But what I drew from this experience was all the gratitude and goodwill that has been created from this movement.
00:09:15.000 Um, and I mean this: proton O'Keefe tips of Proton Mail.
00:09:18.000 I got like 5,000 people saying, Hey, I'm going to go buy a camera and record because of what just happened.
00:09:22.000 So, I view this as a resilient opportunity.
00:09:26.000 I think the future is very beautiful, and I'm excited about today.
00:09:31.000 I'm excited about tomorrow, and I'm excited to break the next few stories.
00:09:34.000 I'm very forward-looking, Charlie.
00:09:35.000 I'm not interested in looking backward.
00:09:38.000 Um, I never really paid much attention to board composition or that sort of thing.
00:09:43.000 I was focused on building a movement and building an organization, and that's what I'm going to continue to do.
00:09:47.000 So, I'm helping the audience find the website because some people are typing into Google.
00:09:52.000 So, you got to type in it as a URL, right?
00:09:54.000 And it's up because our team just did a $20 a month.
00:09:57.000 So, we're becoming Charlie Kirk shows becoming $20 a month supporter of your media group.
00:10:01.000 James, all right.
00:10:02.000 I think we are a founding member, right?
00:10:04.000 And you are, we're going to be going to get a lot of other people to do this, okay?
00:10:08.000 And it is O'Keefe, so that is O-K-E-E-F-E MediaGroup.com.
00:10:14.000 If you have any questions, we're linking it on our Twitter, on our Getter, on our Truth, on all of it.
00:10:18.000 And as somebody who's in the trenches, literally yesterday at UC Davis, I have infinite respect for the grit, the hustle, the results that James O'Keefe has produced.
00:10:29.000 And now, our audience, we all need to step up, everybody, give James the support he needs so he can hire the staff, he can onboard people, he can get the material so that we can keep on exposing these cockroaches that have done such damage to our country.
00:10:44.000 Look, America's in big trouble.

00:11:48.000 James, we're receiving a lot of emails.
00:11:50.000 Way, if any of you, there's no excuse, if you can't find his website, you do know how to email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:11:57.000 James, I just responded to 20 people in the break.
00:11:59.000 Here's the link.
00:12:01.000 Here's the link.
00:12:01.000 And there's a little debate going on here, James, because Jackie claims she's the first one.
00:12:06.000 She did $200 a year.
00:12:08.000 Is that right?
00:12:08.000 She said $20.
00:12:09.000 Yeah, we might have a question of who was actually the first one.
00:12:12.000 But I just want to re-emphasize this.
00:12:13.000 Look, I could go through almost every place of darkness in the country.
00:12:18.000 Okay.
00:12:18.000 And James O'Keefe has exposed them, whether it be Pfizer, whether it be the border, whether it be schools, whether it be Jan Schakowsky's husband.
00:12:26.000 James plays offense in this.
00:12:28.000 And so, James, just to repeat this, and again, the website is right up on the screen.
00:12:32.000 Just type it in: O-K-E-E-F-E-MediaGroup.com.
00:12:32.000 You guys see it?
00:12:37.000 Just follow it right there, O'KeeffeMediaGroup.com.
00:12:40.000 James, just talk about the model.
00:12:43.000 You're now going to empower hundreds of citizen journalists, and you're going to keep the energy, the success, the tactics, the grit from Veritas.
00:12:51.000 And now it's going into this beautiful new venture.
00:12:53.000 Talk more about that.
00:12:54.000 Yeah, I think there's so many people that want to be a journalist.
00:12:59.000 And rather than just empower a couple of people or hire, you know, 20 people, we want to create an army of thousands.
00:13:08.000 Like, I want to get cameras in the hands of thousands of people.
00:13:12.000 And I mean, think of this like Uber for journalism.
00:13:15.000 Yes.
00:13:15.000 You know, we're going to have people everywhere in every school board, every city council office.
00:13:21.000 Even as I sat here right now, I got another Pfizer source contact me actually with some more information, which will hopefully be breaking in the next day or two.
00:13:31.000 You have to have ethics.
00:13:32.000 You have to have integrity in journalism.
00:13:34.000 We've known journalism is broken for a long time now.
00:13:37.000 And it's very important to equip people with the right technology and the right sort of journalism ethic to go out and do this sort of work.
00:13:46.000 And I think a lot of people would do it for free.
00:13:48.000 I mean, I tweeted the other day, hey, go on Amazon and buy these cameras.
00:13:52.000 And I got a few dozen people do that.
00:13:54.000 And so we're going to help you do that.
00:13:57.000 This model is a subscription-based model.
00:13:59.000 So all the people that ask, how can I support James, you and your small team you have right now, subscribe to the website.
00:14:06.000 It's $20 a month or something like that.
00:14:08.000 Subscribe.
00:14:09.000 If you want to pay for one of our better cameras, it's about $1,000 for these cameras.
00:14:14.000 There's a subscription option to pay the thousand bucks.
00:14:17.000 That will buy a camera that I will put into the hands of one of the sources that is talking to me.
00:14:23.000 So if you want to help me right now, the way to do it is to go on this website.
00:14:28.000 It's OMG, oh my gosh, hashtag O'KeefeMediaGroup.com.
00:14:33.000 Yes.
00:14:33.000 Subscribe.
00:14:35.000 Get us some assets.
00:14:37.000 Get us some cameras.
00:14:38.000 And we'll equip the thousands of people who are contacting me right now who want to be engaged.
00:14:43.000 Yeah.
00:14:44.000 And look, this is the big, this is a big thing, right?
00:14:46.000 Because the movement, we need to push back against all these forces of darkness.
00:14:51.000 And one of our great opportunities, James, you talked about for a while, is the everyday grassroots activists, the moms, the dads, the students, the people on campus, you know, and you're basically saying we want to democratize this.
00:15:02.000 And I want to just encourage you, James, and commend you for your spirit and for how you're not giving up because you've been treated so terribly.
00:15:09.000 And I know you don't look back, but this is an important element, right?
00:15:11.000 It's part of the story.
00:15:12.000 It's part of the narrative.
00:15:13.000 But James, you tweeted something or you put something on one of your social medias about the Ides of March.
00:15:18.000 Is there a reason you're deciding to do this today?
00:15:21.000 It is kind of ironic, isn't it?
00:15:23.000 I mean, you know, Shakespeare, the Ides of March have come.
00:15:28.000 It is March 15th.
00:15:30.000 So, you know, something always interesting happens on the Ides of March in my life.
00:15:35.000 And the major announcement, it's kind of, isn't it kind of, isn't it kind of fitting that I was thrown out of the organization I founded just a week after the biggest story about Pfizer some month ago about this guy talking about mutating the virus.
00:15:50.000 And listen, I think journalism, I think ethics is so important in journalism.
00:15:56.000 Doing the right thing, having backbone, having people who are fearless, having people with integrity.
00:16:02.000 It's a rare thing in this world to find people who both A, are fearless and who B, have integrity.
00:16:08.000 That's character.
00:16:10.000 And I have seen a lot of darkness.
00:16:13.000 I've seen a lot of evil in my life, even recently.
00:16:17.000 But I will also say that I've seen a lot of good.
00:16:20.000 I've seen a lot of people reach out to me saying, I will, I will, they're inspired by this.
00:16:26.000 Okay.
00:16:27.000 In fact, Debbie, the woman that used to be worked for you, Charlie, she started her first turning point chapter at University of Illinois.
00:16:33.000 Debbie went on the stage at CPAC.
00:16:35.000 She was one of the two Pfizer whistleblowers, one of the two Pfizer people that I worked with.
00:16:41.000 And she went public inspired by what has happened.
00:16:44.000 So what I take from this experience is finding the people with integrity and backbone and fearlessness.
00:16:51.000 We got to record.
00:16:52.000 We got to create an army of exposers.
00:16:55.000 That's the only thing that will, I think, help our society.
00:16:58.000 That's the only way forward.
00:17:00.000 And that's what I intend to do.
00:17:01.000 So if you want to support me, you can subscribe to this website, get us some technology, get us some cash so we can pay our journalists and keep things going.
00:17:10.000 I am financially supporting him.

00:17:14.000 I know inflation is crushing a lot of people, but if you can do it, it's a moral good for America.
00:17:18.000 James, we love you.
00:17:19.000 Keep fighting.

00:18:23.000 Check it out.
00:18:26.000 So last evening, it was quite a night.
00:18:29.000 It shouldn't have been as chaotic as it was.
00:18:36.000 One of the reasons why the tensions were so high, one of the reasons why people felt they had to try to bust down doors and break windows to try to gain entry into our event and threaten our attendees and spray paint and vandalize and throw projectiles is because the leader of the university went out of his way to lie about me, went out of his way to lie about Turning Point USA.
00:19:05.000 The chancellor of the university, Gary May, made a speech yesterday while we were doing our program ahead of our appearance.
00:19:16.000 Now, he did this also in concert with the Sacramento B, where a quote-unquote journalist organization, the Sacramento B, said in a libelous way, in a slanderous way, in a defamatory way, where the Sacramento B tweeted out, quote, Charlie Kirk has called for the lynching of trans people, a comment that should warrant the cancellation of his speaking engagement at UC Davis.
00:19:45.000 I never said that.
00:19:47.000 I've never said anything close to that, not in the same universe, not in the same galaxy.
00:19:52.000 Never thought that.
00:19:53.000 I've never suggested it.
00:19:54.000 It is a complete and total fabrication.
00:19:59.000 It is a lie.
00:20:00.000 But they take something I said, which was a segment with Riley Gaines, who was exposed in a locker room, exposed to male genitalia by Thomas, the swimmer from University of Pennsylvania.
00:20:16.000 And then some trans activist goes on Twitter and says Charlie Kirk is calling for the lynching of trans people.
00:20:22.000 And they didn't even bother to watch the video.
00:20:24.000 I've never said it.
00:20:25.000 This person is named Aaron Reid.
00:20:27.000 So then that lie goes on the internet, seen by 6 million people.
00:20:31.000 We respond, but nobody cares.
00:20:34.000 The Sacramento B doesn't even bother to watch the video.
00:20:37.000 They repeat the lie.
00:20:38.000 And then the chancellor of the university, Gary May, who should be fired and he should be indicted and arrested for inciting violence.
00:20:48.000 And that's what happened.
00:20:49.000 The violence yesterday is directly connected with him as the chancellor of UC Davis lying about me and firing up the shock troops.
00:20:58.000 The Sacramento B then, after the riots, decided to go with correct.
00:21:03.000 So Sacramento B comes out this morning and they say some trans activists on social media extrapolated from Kirk's comments that he said trans people to be lynched.
00:21:12.000 An accusation the B repeated.
00:21:14.000 But a review of the video shows that Kirk never advocated for trans people to be lynched.
00:21:19.000 Oh, really, Sacramento B. In fact, he strongly denies the accusation.
00:21:24.000 It's not an accusation.
00:21:25.000 It is a lie.
00:21:26.000 There is no accusation.
00:21:28.000 It is a fabrication.
00:21:30.000 These notes have been added to the column and the B regrets its comments and we apologize for any misunderstanding this earlier version may have caused.
00:21:39.000 So the Sacramento B is now apologizing to me, but it's too late.
00:21:42.000 Let me tell you why.
00:21:44.000 Because all the Antifa shock troops were going there with weapons thinking that I was going to give a speech calling for the lynching of trans people.
00:21:52.000 So the Sacramento B lies.
00:21:54.000 The chancellor lies.
00:21:55.000 They go in the streets and praise God, nobody was seriously hurt.
00:21:59.000 People could have been hospitalized.
00:22:01.000 People could have been seriously, really, I mean, have life-threatening injuries, which we see far too often with Antifa because these lies are able to spread.
00:22:11.000 But the chancellor doesn't care.
00:22:12.000 So here is the chancellor who, instead of using his leadership authority to clarify the record, the chancellor could have come out and said, look, I don't like Charlie Kirk.
00:22:20.000 I don't like what he has to say, but I want to make sure all the protesters out there are clear about what you're protesting.
00:22:25.000 There is an internet rumor out there that says that Charlie wants trans people to be lynched.
00:22:29.000 That's not true.
00:22:30.000 Protest him, but also know that you might be angry about something that is actually not true.
00:22:38.000 Instead, he repeats the lie.
00:22:40.000 He leans into the lie.
00:22:41.000 And he also violates what I believe to be First Amendment Chancellor public funded neutrality, where he is cheering for the downfall of our event.
00:22:51.000 And you better believe we are entertaining a menu of legal options for how sloppy, how reckless, and how slanderous these people handled this yesterday.
00:23:01.000 Play cut 51 of the chancellor at UC Davis, who, by the way, earns over $800,000 a year.
00:23:09.000 How many of you in the audience could use an $800,000 a year salary?
00:23:13.000 He gets $800,000 a year to lie about speakers that could turn the campus into a war zone.
00:23:21.000 All the violence that happened yesterday was because of his lack of leadership, PlayCut 51.
00:23:28.000 Many of you have reached out to me and others regarding tonight's event organized by the registered student organization Turning Point USA or TPUSA at UC Davis.
00:23:37.000 Thank you for sharing your distress at a student group hosting a speaker who is a well-documented proponent of misinformation and hate and who has advocated for violence against transgender individuals.
00:23:49.000 Under UC policy, campuses may not prohibit student organizations such as TPUSA from inviting these speakers, even if the speaker's intended speech is loathsome and hurtful to me and to others in our campus community.
00:24:01.000 With respect to concerns related to violence, UC policy permits denial of requests if the speaker will present a clear and present danger to the campus.
00:24:10.000 Our council also notes that there is a similarly heavy burden for criminal prosecution for incitement of violence.
00:24:16.000 Please be assured that we are monitoring the event closely to determine if a threat or incitement develops that meets that threshold.
00:24:23.000 We can't control how these groups operate, but we can work together to neutralize and negate their influence.
00:24:29.000 So having to speak to an empty room would make a powerful statement.
00:24:32.000 Yeah, guess what?
00:24:33.000 The room wasn't empty.
00:24:34.000 We had nearly a thousand people there, Gary May.
00:24:37.000 And if you would have known anything about what we do at Turning Point USA, if your team would have had any commitment to the truth, you know what they would have done?
00:24:44.000 They would have realized that, oh, wow, Charlie Kirk at his events invites people who disagree with him to go to the front of the question line and have uninterrupted mic time where they could say anything.
00:24:55.000 They could troll me.
00:24:56.000 They could make fun of me.
00:24:58.000 They can question me.
00:24:59.000 They can cross-examine me.
00:25:00.000 They could do whatever they want.
00:25:02.000 But he wouldn't say that.
00:25:04.000 He doesn't actually want to be committed to the truth.
00:25:06.000 This is an ideologue.
00:25:07.000 This is pure and simple slander and defamation.
00:25:13.000 UC Davis said in a statement after the event that one police officer was injured during the incident.
00:25:19.000 This chancellor is responsible for that.
00:25:22.000 Why did it has the chancellor denounced any of the violence yesterday?
00:25:25.000 Any of the intimidation?
00:25:27.000 Any of the pepper spraying, the projectiles thrown at attendees, the doxing?
00:25:32.000 You see, this is the playbook.
00:25:34.000 They smear you.
00:25:35.000 They don't correct the smear because they know that it's going to increase the temperature of the shock troops.
00:25:41.000 They know that it's going to increase the violence.
00:25:44.000 And you might say, oh, Charlie, come on, how bad was it?
00:25:46.000 Play cut 57 of them literally breaking into windows, trying to gain access into the event.
00:25:53.000 Play cut 57.
00:26:36.000 Is that a peaceful protest?
00:26:39.000 Is that a peaceful demonstration?
00:26:41.000 Elon Musk doesn't think so.
00:26:42.000 Elon Musk tweeted last evening, this is not a peaceful protest, and it's not.
00:26:47.000 But this was encouraged by the chancellor.
00:26:50.000 This was encouraged by the Sacramento B.
00:26:52.000 They wanted this to happen.
00:26:54.000 At every opportunity, they had a chance to de-escalate.
00:26:58.000 These are the same people, by the way, that use it's, it's not a perfect analogy, but it's kind of how they handle the Ukraine-Russia stuff.
00:27:04.000 They're always trying to incite, they're trying to increase the conflict.
00:27:08.000 These people in a leadership role could have said, guys, okay, you might not like Charlie.
00:27:12.000 He has some strong opinions, but we love our campus.
00:27:15.000 Let's not destroy it.
00:27:17.000 Let's not smash windows and assault police officers.
00:27:21.000 No, no, no, because that would require doing something that the left refuses to do, which is to tell the truth.
00:27:28.000 And I have repeatedly said under great criticism from people that college campuses are islands of totalitarianism.
00:27:35.000 The police officers did a fabulous job.
00:27:38.000 There were 120 of them, 120 police officers, so I could go and give a short speech about free speech and allow people who would disagree with me to go to the front of the line.
00:27:49.000 Is that the country we want to live in, everybody?
00:27:51.000 Let's play Cut 58, please.
00:28:01.000 Those were a couple of the people that were doing graffiti, and those people were arrested by the police officers.
00:28:07.000 Two people were arrested and taken to Yolo County Jail for allegedly painting graffiti on an exterior wall of the University Credit Union where the event was held.
00:28:16.000 There's not been a single arrest for the glass breaking.
00:28:19.000 And one police officer sustained injuries last evening that we know of.
00:28:23.000 We pray that that police officer is okay.
00:28:26.000 College campuses have become unrecognizable, but the leaders themselves of the colleges are complicit.
00:28:34.000 From the throwing of eggs to pepper spraying or the melee clubs and the Sacramento B, they're also responsible.
00:28:41.000 So they answer the question to many of you, and I would love your thoughts.
00:28:44.000 Do you think I should sue over this?
00:28:45.000 Because boy, we're looking at some lawfare options here.
00:28:48.000 I don't care if they retracted or any of that.
00:28:50.000 That does not save them completely.
00:28:52.000 There was damage done.
00:28:54.000 There were people hurt.
00:28:55.000 There was violence that occurred because of the material lies that you told about me.
00:29:01.000 I'm not going to put up with that.
00:29:03.000 I'm sure we're going to learn a lot in Discovery.
00:29:08.000 You know, sometimes they say, well, Charlie, how can you prove damages?
00:29:11.000 I can easily prove damages.
00:29:12.000 Look at the violence that occurred.
00:29:14.000 Look at the danger that people were put in unnecessarily because of what the chancellor did, because of what the Sacramento B did.
00:29:23.000 And despite the fact that we emailed them, while this was ongoing, the reporter for the Sacramento B was repeating the lies on the ground because these reporters did not bother to actually watch the video that was actually inciting the video that they said that they were mad about that was quote unquote inciting the violence there.
00:29:44.000 They've never heard me speak for more than five minutes.
00:29:48.000 In fact, when I gave my speech last evening, there were liberals that came like, wow, you're a lot calmer than I thought you were.
00:29:54.000 Like, wow, you're a lot more reasonable than you thought.
00:29:56.000 Yeah, you're being lied to by everybody around you.
00:30:01.000 The entire university is lying to you.
00:30:03.000 That's all the left has is institutional lies.
00:30:06.000 They are not able to allow the truth to get out.
00:30:09.000 And isn't it telling that UC Davis gets four years of uninterrupted indoctrination?
00:30:17.000 And they're worried that I'm going to speak for an hour and 15 minutes.
00:30:22.000 Four years, hour, 15 minutes.
00:30:25.000 They know our ideas are persuasive.
00:30:28.000 They know the power of heterodox thinking.
00:30:33.000 This is Stalinist type stuff.
00:30:35.000 Cut 56, one of these students came in and said, why do you call them terrorists?
00:30:41.000 We put him in his place.
00:30:42.000 Play Cut 56.
00:30:44.000 So as someone who claims to be such a bastion of freedom of speech, why do you call the protesters outside terrorists?
00:30:54.000 Terrorist definition is a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
00:31:00.000 Did they do that?
00:31:04.000 I don't think, I don't think so.
00:31:06.000 I don't think so.
00:31:07.000 They're smashing windows and they're assaulting police officers.
00:31:12.000 I don't think so.
00:31:12.000 I mean, it's not like they, these people are so unbelievably brainwashed.
00:31:18.000 But they know the power that the truth holds.
00:31:23.000 And I hope that for those of you that are watching at home, for those of you that might say, Charlie, what can I do?
00:31:29.000 Forget me.
00:31:30.000 Put me aside.
00:31:31.000 Do what our Turning Point kids are doing.
00:31:34.000 Do what the 18 and 19-year-olds that are involved at Turning Point USA every day on the front lines.
00:31:39.000 Do what they're doing.
00:31:40.000 They're putting their reputation, their name on the line.
00:31:44.000 I get emails from people: well, Charlie, it's really hard to be a conservative at my job.
00:31:48.000 You think it's easy for our Turning Point kids to do this?
00:31:51.000 They get followed on campus, threatened every single day.
00:31:55.000 And of course, the university does nothing about it, does nothing.
00:31:58.000 They couldn't care less.
00:32:00.000 But it was a message yesterday.
00:32:02.000 It was a clear message that was sent to Antifa, to the radical terrorists on the street, to the professor, by the way, who also was inciting this.
00:32:12.000 A professor, by the way, who doesn't get ridiculed by the university chancellor.
00:32:16.000 Can I read some quotes here from the professor at University of California, Davis, UC Davis?
00:32:23.000 So this is a professor at UC Davis, Joshua Clover, who's still a tenured professor, who said, police, quote, people think that cops need to be reformed.
00:32:35.000 They need to be killed.
00:32:38.000 That's a UC Davis professor.
00:32:40.000 Oh, but I'm the problem coming on campus.
00:32:43.000 UC Davis professor Joshua Clover says, I'm thankful that every living cop will one day be dead, some by their own hands, some by others, too many of old age.
00:32:53.000 He says, quote, I hope it's uncontroversial to say Israel should be ended.
00:32:58.000 Just some of his highlights.
00:33:00.000 But somehow, my visit to campus is about spewing misinformation and hate.
00:33:06.000 This goes to show we are not dealing with classical liberals.
00:33:09.000 We're dealing with Stalinists.
00:33:10.000 We're dealing with Maoists.
00:33:12.000 And the only way that we defeat them is we play offense.
00:33:16.000 We got an email from somebody, Charlie, come on, you're kind of to blame because you go into liberal environments.
00:33:20.000 That is the worst email I've received in quite some time.
00:33:23.000 I'm going to go to every liberal college campus in America as long as there is a nation.
00:33:27.000 You should not cower in fear because a bunch of petulant shock troops hit to the street to try to say, I don't like your ideas.
00:33:37.000 And they're incited by lies by their chancellor.
00:33:39.000 No, no, no.
00:33:39.000 We're only going to do more of this at Turning Point USA.
00:33:42.000 We're going to go to more campuses.
00:33:43.000 We're going to start more chapters.
00:33:45.000 We're going to sue more of these maniacs that say these things about us.
00:33:50.000 We only win by moving forward, by playing offense.
00:33:53.000 Too many of these groups talk a good game and they don't do anything.
00:33:56.000 What does Turning Point USA do?
00:33:58.000 We go into the most tyrannical, totalitarian, and consequential cultural environments in the country, and we win and we put the losers on defense.
00:34:08.000 That's why they have to lie about us.
