I attended the Milo Halloween Free Speech at Cal State Fullerton. Fellow Trump supporters with me went there and stayed around for about three hours, talking with different college students and standing up to the hate mongers who wanted to silence us.
As expected, a bunch of college students held their ready made posters with "Fascists Go Home" and "No Milo, No KKK" etc. It's pretty sad how ignorant so many of these students have become. They are not educated--they are indoctrinated. They don't know about opposing points of view at all, and assume that either you agree with them, or you are a Nazi.
For good news, though, there were plenty of people there willing to listen, willing to discuss, willing to hear another point of view. I was surprised that many of the students there had a lot of ideas to share with me. Even better, I understood why they believed what they were adhering to, and why there is so much confusion.
One of the best parts of the event, however, was that Antifa's numbers were relatively small, and even the more liberal students chased them away.
In the video below, notice that one Antifa girl was chased away by a larger crowd of Trump supporters, conservative students, and even some Proud Boys in the mix. Antonio Foreman was also there, and she scared her off when she tried to start a fight.
I have survived Berkeley, twice. I
had walked the Walk of Fame in Downtown Los Angeles, and I have taken on town
halls all over Southern California, and I went through it all to fight for
freedom of speech and make the case for President Trump and the MAGA Agenda.
Halloween
Night at Cal State Fullerton, I got to engage the crowd of students who
would be protesting free speech absolutist and conservative provocateur Milo
Yiannopoulos. I didn’t want to hear him. I wanted to meet the students, see the
force of outrage against his presence on the campus, and start changing some
minds.
In the beginning, I noticed that
some protesters were wearing masks. Law enforcement surrounded and arrested one
of them. Later that night, another Antifa thug got taken down after
pepper-spraying others. Perhaps it’s time for local law enforcement to deputize
the law-abiding citizens to arrest those who wear masks and menace peace-loving
protesters.
Like many others in the student
quad, I came in my own custom: Arthur, i.e. Arthur Reed the cartoon anteater
(or Aardvark). It works, don’t you think? Other costumes included Hugh Hefner,
a pirate wrapped in rainbow feather boas, and a snowflake liberal. The last one
was a young man wearing bubble wrap all over his body. Funny stuff!
As soon as I arrived at the square,
reporters and student journalists rushed towards me. One guy asked me which was
worse, feminism or cancer. I said "both". Other students wanted to
know why I was there, including the mainstream media reporters. I want free
speech restored and respected on college campuses, and I want to debunk the
lies and mythologies about President Trump.
Within minutes, a crazed black
woman—later identified as Keyanna Celina—roared at me: “White Supremacist! Get
out of here!” My friend Genevieve Peters tried to calm the situation. Instead,
Celina swiped at her, then beat her around the head multiple times before
someone in the crowd fired pepper spray to stop Celina.
Right on cue, the anti-Milo,
anti-free speech fascists started chanting “Fascists go home! Fascists go
home!” Instead of running away, I stood right in front of their protest, turned
the cameras on them and shouted with them: “Fascists go home!” Trick or treat!
Full disclosure: I am no Milo fan.
But so what? He has every right to speak at a college, and no one should
prevent him! Besides, I was more interested in listening to students, to find
out why they were protesting, to get their views on key issues, and to stump
for President Trump. Some students accused me of starting fights. I soon
realized they were merely trying to silence me. After deftly casting
accusations aside, I began to realize why abject liberalism had taken hold on
many of these young people. Obviously, they don’t hear other points of view,
and thus anyone with a difference of opinion is wrong. As I feared, most
students are told what to think, not how to think. Another problem was the
sloppy misuse of terms. One man claimed that 75% of the businesses in socialist
dystopia Venezuela are privately owned. Uh … Nope! Why would he believe this?
Because he didn’t see the clear synonym between nationalization and
socialization.
Here were my three favorite moments
of the Free Speech Convocation at Cal State Fullerton:
1. One of the members of a vocal
progressive group—which has been following me around to city council meetings
and public events for months—tried to shame me into silence. She brought up everything
from my city’s mayor attacking me publicly (I don’t care, since he’s corrupt),
to the false allegations that members of my team in We the People Rising have
attacked children—we never have.
When she claimed that I had compared
myself to Rosa Parks (I was arrested without cause in a city council meeting
six months ago), I took her down like a boss. “Are you telling me that I
shouldn’t fight for my civil rights? I should just do whatever the police tell
me to?!” The audience cheered with that response. Her final retort: “You’re not
welcome here. Nobody likes you!” Immediately, a photographer from the sidelines
shouted back: “I like you, bro! You got pizzazz!” FYI: That photographer hated
Trump, but defended my right to be there.
Lesson One: Throw the Left’s shame
card right back in their face, and people will love you for it.
2. I discussed the Second Amendment
with one young man, when an old blowhard interrupted me. I refused to be
bullied, or to allow that young man to be ignored and shut down. After about
two minutes, this grown man-child hit my camera. Jeremy who was right behind
led me out of the first crowd, yet I continued to reach out to the young man so
that I could discuss the gun control issue with him. That anti-First Amendment
bully ended up looking really bad in front of college students--whom he was
trying to shut down. And the best part? The young students went to interact
with a Trump supporter who wanted to listen to THEM!
Lesson Two: When hecklers and haters
try to interrupt you, shame them for trying to shut you down, and then get back
into the discussion.
3. Another young man disparaged
President Abraham Lincoln: “He didn’t want to end slavery. He just wanted to
keep the country together”. Wrong, but this misunderstanding led to a much
wider discussion about the history of the two major parties, the “Big Switch”
of the 1960s, actually a big lie, and other distortions about Republicans and
their true record in the Civil Rights Movement, i.e. they helped foster the
cause of black Americans since the party’s inception in 1854. This and other
students were attentive and respectful.
Lesson Three: When someone adheres
to unfounded beliefs, let them explain, then counter with truth.
Cal State Fullerton was the best
Free Speech event I have attended yet: all treat, no tricks!
Here is the entire video of us Trump supporters at Cal State Fullerton fighting for free speech and defending President Trump.
This was the most successful free speech event I have ever attended.
In spite of the brief yet violent burst of violence at the beginning--when this crazy black lady attacked my friend Genevieve--it was a relatively peaceful event.
The widespread police presence on the campus was incredible. I saw at least 50 police officers, many from the University of California system as well as the Cal State system. At the outset, all of us believed that we would be safe and sound.
Shortly after Genevieve got punched and hit in the face multiple times, however, it was clear that they were going to focus on keeping the mass violence down to a bare minimum, without any interest in stopping hand-to-hand combat from left-wing assailants.
I also notice a scattering number of protesters on campus who were wearing masks--still. I think it's time for local law enforcement to deputize law-abiding citizens to arrest people who wear masks in these public spaces, especially on college campuses with large protesting crowds.
How can I neglect to mention who joined us at the Fullerton event?
Gary Gileno was there with his wife.
Genevieve Peters, of course, along with Alex Khalil, who met me in Torrance to ride with Genevieve and me to the event.
Harim Uzziel with Elsa Aldaguer came together, and then Jeremy Patino and John Willis came, too.
Jeremy was a key component of our team, since he had my back the whole time! This guy knew what needed to be done in order to keep my safe and sound, and to allow me to speak to different members of the crowd.
Some people came up to me as soon as we approached the plaza outside of the auditorium with Milo's speech. One guy asked me which was worse, feminism or cancer. I said "both". It was crazy how within minutes people came up to me to talk about what I was doing there and what I wanted to see and do.
Here are the three reasons why I went to the Fullerton Free Speech event
1. Stand for free speech.
2. Support my President Donald Trump
3. Find out what college students are thinking, whether they like or hate Trump, and why
4. Change minds about Trump, about conservatism, about Republicanism, free markets, free enterprise, etc.
Indeed, this was a successful event.
Here were my three favorite parts of the whole Free Speech Convocation
1. The young, thin Brown Supremacist was there, and she tried to get in my face and shame me publicly. I really took her down like a boss, shutting down her every argument against me. Indeed, this is my job, and I receive donations from readers and followers like you and other people who are fighting for truth, justice, and the American Way--MAGA! She was absolutely speechless when I flipped her script on my mentioning Rosa Parks at the Huntington Park City Council meeting on June 6th, 2017.
When she tried to shame me about what I am doing for my community (I prefer the term "communities", since there are so many people doing so much good and want this country to succeed), I told everyone that I had donated my car to help veterans. Everyone applauded.
2. The Cuck Heifer--once called Based Spartan Man, but now revealed to be one more cashing-in, sellout leftist--showed up to cause trouble. John Willis confronted him and mocked him with abandon, as did I.
About fifteen minutes later, I started discussing the Second Amendment with one young man, then Cuck Heifer showed up, blocking me from speaking to the student. I refused to be bullied, or to allow that young man to be ignored and shut down.
After about two minutes, Cuck got upset and hit my camera. I told him he was done, and Jeremy right behind led me out of the first crowd, yet I continued to reach out to the young man so that I could discuss the gun control issue with him. It was awesome!
Cuck got cucked, he ended up looking really bad in front of college students--whom he was trying to shut down--and the best part? The young students go to see that I was one more person there who wanted to listen to THEM!
It was a huge success all around, too, because other conservative students crowded around the Cuck Heifer and pushed him away. Other students joined with me and we continued our discussions on a number of issues, including Islam, free speech, Black Lives Matter, the police, and so on.
Jeremy Patino did an incredible job diffusing the situation and making sure that other students could speak without incident.
3. Another young man disparaged the legacy of Republican President Abraham Lincoln. This student was really interesting, because earlier that day he had called me a baby and walked away.
Later on, he and I were able to discuss a lot of issues, and I was not afraid or unwilling to listen, to disagree with him. He had some very disturbing points of view, and I was not sure how he had come to some of the conclusions he had arrived at. He was very pensive and then thoughtful. He was willing to listen to me as much as I was willing to listen to him.
It was incredible how successful this whole event was.
Did I see three favorite? I actually have another, and there are many more great moments, too, but it's better just to watch the video!
4. A group of black college students were standing around and listening to me. One of them got very emotional at first, and some of his friends held him back to calm him down, but everything worked out. The other black students behind me noticed one Antifa member off to the side who was trying to silence the discussion or distract us from talking to one another. Eventually, this Antifa, with a black helmet and facial mask, upset the black students. They ended up shouting her down and chasing her off!
It was awesome!
Final Reflection
Once again, this was the most successful pro free speech event, convocation, rally that I had ever attended.
The violence was kept to a minimum for me because I stayed close to fellow Trump supporters. The students were open-minded and willing to listen. Did we agree? Not that much, but they started to hear a different point of view, and someone who was not afraid to challenge their accepted orthodoxies and mythologies about Trump, politics, faith, and economics.
I have become surprised by some interesting trends in media.
First, there are the national affiliates, which have turned into anti-Trump Pravda propaganda.
Their sheer hatred for President Trump is astounding as well as entertaining. One would think that they could control their negative biases to some degree.
The fact is that they are showing their true colors, their determination to push a liberal agenda at all costs with no regard for the truth or the consequences of their beliefs and actions.
But there are local and college media organizations doing a better job of just reporting the facts and relating what people have said.
The Cal State Fullerton newspaper The Daily Titan arrived at the CAGOP Convention in Anaheim last week. One reporter not only approached the entire crowd, but she wanted my view on what was going on, and she was not afraid to identify herself, either, while the other news reporters on site were more interested in pushing an agenda, and some of them even hid their press badges so that I could not identify them! The reporter quoted my comments below:
Arthur Schaper, a CAGOP delegate and vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, livestreamed the protesters as they arrived. Schaper also tried engaging in debate with several demonstrators, to no avail.
“As you can see, what we have here are basically narrow-minded, for lack of a better word, bigots, that don’t want me to speak,” Schaper said. “I’m just here to try to understand why they’re angry.”
It's true.
I was trying to understand why they were there.
Here's the whole video of my encounter with the anti-Trump, anti-Bannon protesters outside of the CAGOP Convention in Anaheim last week:
