I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

We must be defenders of free speech in all different venues, especially on college campuses, including speech that you don't like. Joining us now is Kristen Wagoner, President, CEO, and General Counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom. Kristen, walk us through what's going on at the University of Memphis, what happened last evening, and the reason that we decided to kind of call the bluff of University of Memphis regarding Kyle Rittenhouse.
Well, last night was a tremendous victory for TPUSA, Kyle Rittenhouse, and the right to speak freely on our college campuses. I think we have to go back to really a year ago, last March in 2024, when the TPUSA chapter at the University of Memphis decided to sponsor an event with Kyle Rittenhouse. And they worked with the University of Memphis officials, created a ticketing system through TPUSA, and had the event all planned out to host about 300 kids, students. And it was open to the public. But what happened in that instance is that the university interfered with the ticketing system. It allowed disruptors to virtually take all of the tickets. And then it allowed a mob rule to take over that event. And it had to be shut down because the university officials and the police refused to protect the speech of TPUSA. and of Kyle Rittenhouse. So last night after Alliance Defending Freedom sent a legal demand letter with very specific demands to the university, the university complied with those demands and TPUSA was able to move forward.
So we're so grateful for their courage and glad that they were welcomed back to campus. We also got one of the policies changed so that future students won't have to endure this again.
That is wonderful. Let's go to Cut 235 and play the news reports of this.
Action News 5's Bria Bolden joining us live now from the University of Memphis to explain, Bria, why Rittenhouse has been allowed to be back on campus despite all the pushback.
Yeah, well, last year Kyle Rittenhouse abruptly left the stage at the UC Theater after pushback from University of Memphis students. Members of Turning Point USA's University of Memphis chapter, the group that invited Rittenhouse to campus, were escorted off campus by Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers after being run off by students. Turning Point USA is a nonprofit that advocates conservative views on college campuses. Rittenhouse is set to make his return here to the U of M tomorrow evening. to discuss his 2021 trial and the Second Amendment.
Kristen, tell us more about the encounter and the victory here based on that news report.
Yes, well, at ADF, we have about 450 legal victories on college campuses. And I have to tell you that in seeing many of those victories play out, the circumstances of this particular campus incident are some of the worst that we've seen.
