Charlie Kirk, the conservative talk show host and founder of Turning Point USA, spoke at Gammage Auditorium on the campus of Arizona State University on Wednesday, an appearance that alarmed some faculty and surprised the man who conceived of the event.On stage, he said he was surprised at the furor, saying that the event's title,"Health, Wealth and Happiness," shouldn't have offended anyone.
Still, according to reaction at the VIP reception beforehand and the cheers during the introductions at the event, Kirk was the attraction for many attendees. On stage, Kirk's speech stuck to the themes of health and happiness, avoiding the bare-knuckle political talk he employs on his radio show.He said that if someone wasn't happy or successful, they could change their lot by adopting better life habits.Kirk said that society, and some institutions of higher learning, suggest that there was no absolute truth. But Kirk said there was truth in the world and, in a well-worn line, offered an example.
The letter singled out Kirk and Prager, for particular ire. It called Kirk and Prager"purveyors of hate" for attacks on women, minorities and the LGBTQ community. The faculty members said that with the letter it hoped to"distance ourselves from the hate that these provocateurs hope to legitimate by attaching themselves to Barrett’s name."
Lewis said he was meeting with Kirk and told him about the event."I told him they'd love to have him," he said, before correcting himself."Well, I told him I would love to have him." Lews said that about half of the people in Arizona and the country"believe in the things we're going to hear tonight," he said."But, it's being suppressed."
