I was on campus at the University of Florida. We had an amazing turnout, a record turnout, actually. I have been at the University of Florida multiple times. In fact, Ryan could probably go back into the archives. I, back in 2019, visited the University of Florida, and we were getting screamed at, and we had protesters. It was not an easy campus visit. I mean, it was typical at the time, a lot of opposition, a lot of activist spark on the left. Andrew went to the University of Florida with me. I actually went with Donald Trump Jr.
two or three weeks previous to that, and there were protests everywhere. When we returned to the University of Florida and we were met with over 2,000 friendly supporters, 2,000 students. In fact, it was so overwhelming at the end, there almost was a creation of a tunnel where I had to walk through to be able to exit people asking for selfies and for signatures.
Are Democrats rethinking their stance on trans athletes?
It was very similar to like a college football team entering a stadium. There were a couple liberals, one interaction in particular that will probably go viral of a young man who was not dumb. He was very passionate, well-read. And I asked him, I said, are you guys willing to move on from this idea that men can compete in women's sports? I said, it's not popular. Can we just end the chapter on this? And he said, absolutely not. He said that trans men should be able to compete and trans women should be able to compete in women's sports. He was so married to it. And for any of you that think the Democrats are going to adjust from the grassroots, it's not going to happen. Now, there might be a candidate that comes in and declares war on the base of the Democrat Party. But the base of the Democrat Party is more on board for this nonsense than ever before. The base of the Democrat Party. thinks that there's nothing wrong with men stealing medals and awards from women. They have made a deal with the trans zealots of the base of their party, and they are married to it.
But more broadly, the biggest takeaway is how the Democrat base has never had to deal with losing a culture war battle. They can't psychologically accept it. They've never had to do this in their existence. They are outnumbered now on campus. No, not necessarily outnumbered. I think if you took a poll on campus, these campuses are still probably five to 10 points to the left. But there's a passivity to the Democrat activism on campus. There is none. And there is energy and there is vitality behind any one of us that are Trump supporting conservatives. Everything they can remember is as far as being Democrats and leftists, has always been a one-way ratchet. There were professors. It's very interesting.
