The event at Utah Valley University featured a "Prove Me Wrong" table, a series that Kirk hosts at colleges. Turning Point USA describes the events as a "bold, on-the-ground debate series" featuring Kirk, during which he invites students to challenge his beliefs on politics and culture.
During the often-raucous events, which can stretch out for over an hour, Kirk sits at a table and argues with a succession of people — more often than not, left-leaning college students — about everything from recent Trump administration moves to abstract views on immigration to abortion.
Some of the topics Kirk has debated with students include dismantling the Department of Education, the Second Amendment and firearms restrictions, and universal health care.
The back-and-forths between Kirk and each sparring partner sometimes last several minutes, as Kirk and his adversary try to stump each other.
Clips from Kirk's rapid-fire debates trel widely on social media, frequently racking up millions of views on TikTok and other platforms.
Kirk is a prolific debater: Turning Point USA is scheduled to visit 10 college campuses over the next two months, more than half of which will feature "Prove Me Wrong" tables.
The next "Prove Me Wrong" table event was set to take place Sept. 18 at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado.
