Turning point USA is on this mission to make
education as inaccessible as possible.
And one way that they're doing that is by targeting professors on college campuses.
Now during their leadership summit, which we've done some coverage on.
Apparently there was a training session where students who
attended were taught how to essentially secretly
videotape their professors in an effort to get them fired.
Now we have some video of this.
Let's take a quick look at that and I'll fill in all the blanks.
>> If they do this, you take out your phone instantly,
this will be some really great content later and they might just get fired.
Hopefully, right.
So as soon as you see a professor with that attitude come towards you,
you're gonna get your phone.
Sometimes it's easier to just, go like this and record like that.
It's super, horizontal, a little bit more discreet or you can do it in their face
and see if they, just still want to talk and some have done that.
But hi, so are you, are you a teacher here?
>> Well, yes, I am.
And I don't want you here at my university.
>> What do you teach here?
What's your major, what do you teach them?
>> A gender studies professor?
>> Of course you are.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> So
you don't like conservatives on your campus then, right?
Because you're a bunch of bigots and fascists.
>> It's incredible that you can teach your students and you don't have any bias.
How do you do your job right, then.
>> Because I think men and women are the same.
>> Okay, thank God you're not teaching Biology, right?
>> And just to make it abundantly clear what the goal is here.
She repeated what the objective is.
So let's take a quick look at that video.
>> So yeah, if you do have professors,
administrators that come up to your table to harass you.
They're in the wrong and you just want to keep them talking.
Hegeman and just keep recording for as long as you can so
that you get some good content.
And hopefully if they say anything that's too crazy, they can lose their job and
you can get rid of that crazy person for a while so.
>> So, while there are endless problems in this country, right?
Extreme poverty inequality, a pandemic.
People are constantly dying as a result of that pandemic and the honestly the lack
of infrastructure planning and goodwill in place to deal with the pandemic.
This is what their problem is their problem is like they sit in a corner in
their dark room every night like gender studies professors,
gender studies professors must get them fired, must get them.
They're lunatics.
They're freaking lunatics like salivating at the notion of getting professors fired.
I mean, it is unbelievable to me.
And it's again, it's just more of the culture war.
That's all they've got.
And while Charlie Kirk, who's the head of this ridiculous organization uses populist
rhetoric to appeal to people who can obviously understand that there's
something wrong with our broken economic system.
I do want you to pay close attention to that dorky sign behind that
woman that reads capitalism cures, what?
Because right now capitalism is the exact thing that's standing in the way of
the United States responding appropriately to this pandemic.
Yeah, so look, there's two funny things here.
One is the gender studies aside, right?
He says gender studies and they all the whole crowd last [LAUGH] gender studies.
He wouldn't want to study women.
You only study men, man and what?
It's the gender what like women are gonna find out what they did and
the it's absurd.
[LAUGH] belly laugh women and men are the same.
Look, guys and they're also conflating things, right?
Women and men should be equal.
They are obviously not the same.
We say they should be equal.
And so you think they're the same.
[LAUGH] you got your biology.
>> Like none of this even matters.
Okay, gender studies, I went, I got my bachelor's degree,
I got my master's degree, never took a single gender studies class.
Why, because it's not required.
Okay, the thing is they just they want to pick and
choose what is available to students to learn about?
Why do they get to pick and choose if someone's curious who is if
someone wants to be enlightened on gender studies.
Why shouldn't they have the right to go to college and learn about gender studies?
Why do they get to be the arbiters of what qualifies as education or
what doesn't qualify as education?
Like it's so ridiculous because these are the people who present themselves as anti
censorship, free speech warriors.
But in reality they're the ones burning books, they're the ones banning books.
They're the ones banning certain education that they do not like because it hurts
their poor little fragile feelings.
Like if you genuinely believe in freedom, have all of that information available,
have those classes available and students can decide what they want to learn.
But gender studies is not some mandatory like class that you have
to take as soon as you enroll in a college.
They are so ridiculous!
It's unbelievable.
>> So I took introduction to buddhism and Hinduism in school.
These clans would be, yeah, they're making everybody be Buddhist.
>> No, dark corner, dark corner, dark corner Buddhism Hinduism.
Like there's of course ridiculous.
>> Of course it was not a requirement are we should every university cancel
every elective not agreed to by the right wing.
And wouldn't that be canceled culture?
So do you want them to not teach gender studies at all and cancel it?
>> Yeah that's what they want.
Okay and guys, I don't even, you don't even have to get one layer deep.
That's one inch deep, right?
Look at the the hilarious hypocrisy and irony here?
The entire premise,
the number one premise of that turning point USA get together was cancer culture.
How awful the left wing is for cancer culture.
She said there twice in like two minutes, get them fired.
>> Yeah. >> Let's find the professors we don't
agree with, secretly record them, and then that will use that as evidence to quote,
get rid of them.
>> No, but to be fair,
at least turning point USA found an expert in this area, right?
Because it really does take a lot of brain power back and my dad.
So, if you want to get the professors fired,
like you can totally hold your phone up to them like this.
But you can also hold it like this, like it's amazing how much
these people get paid for their intense stupidity.
>> Okay, and guys.
>> As long as you're willing to say the right things for right wingers, right?
As long as you're willing to target educators, as long as you're willing to
make education as inaccessible to people as possible.
It doesn't matter how smart you are, how dumb you are, you're willing to go up on
that stage and make a fool out of yourself, you'll get paid for it.
>> Okay. >> Am I right?
>> [LAUGH] all right, so I'm trying to be nicer to right wing voters.
>> It's hard. >> But I really with the thing that I'm
genuinely curious about is people sitting in that auditorium go and
cancel culture is the worst.
Let's get professors fired for not agreeing with us if any of them.
I mean this is a literal question.
If any of them made the neural connection of like, hey,
wait a minute, isn't that cancel culture?
Or if none of them noticed and
they came out of there like chanting like get them fired.
Get them fired.
Yeah and then like somebody's like, we can just cancel them,
get them canceled, get them cancel culture.
But guys seriously out of mask it, we already have the answer to that.
They don't get it.
They genuinely think if you don't agree with me,
I should get rid of your books, I should get you fired.
And that's not cancel culture.
But if you disagree with me and by the way it's optional,
it's an elective or whatever.
No, that's not allowed.
And in the name of fighting censorship, I will censor you and
get you and get you completely eliminated from college campuses.
>> It's funny because while they try so
hard to make something as benign as gender studies like this big taboo.
I think in a few years gender studies is gonna be lit, right?
Because no one loves to study things or I don't know,
just explore things that are considered taboo.
So how about it, how that gender studies.
>> Don't do it, it's dangerous.
Only rebels of the gender studies.
Okay, the very idea of even being open to studying the history of women and
relations between men and women freaks them out so
much that they want to cancel all of it.
They're just hilarious people, so.
>> One of the most interesting classes I took in college.
Again, this wasn't even a mandatory class.
I took a sociology class, communications class and
there was one day where the lecture focused on the different
communication styles between men and women.
And that was such a helpful class for me because it helped me identify how
the miscommunication between men and women happened.
Like in my own personal life, right?
>> But no. >> No, it's helped me in my marriage.
It's helped me and my relationships with male members of my family.
But you can't have a very naughty, very taboo.
You want miscommunication.
>> Now this is outrageous.
This is outrageous studying things.
I mean, you can't study things in a college.
Yeah, then you'd be learning the differences between men and women.
No, men are awesome.
Women should get very little rights of any.
Okay there, I solved it for you.
What's all the goddamn studying about?
Okay, so there unreal.
