Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec appeared on Fox & Friends Sunday morning to discuss the viral distribution of “Freedom” t-shirts outside Madison Square Garden. The shirts were handed out ahead of Saturday night’s UFC 322 event, and Posobiec shared insights into the response from UFC fans.
Posobiec explained that the effort was intended to spread a positive message during a time marked by national tension and rising political violence.
“There’s been so much negativity in the last couple of months with violence, not just what happened to Charlie, but I think violence in our whole country. There’s been upheaval. And we tried to come out there last night to do something that would highlight something positive, something good to show that there’s still goodness in the world, to show that there’s still, there’s still a chance for redemption, even in many cases,” Posobiec said.
According to Posobiec, the group brought 3,000 shirts to the venue without a clear expectation of how many fans would take them.
“And so look, we had 3,000 shirts. We had no idea if that was, you know, people would want them. If we could even get 3,000 up, we got handed out all 3,000 in just one hour. We ran out. We completely ran out,” he added.
One of the Fox & Friends hosts asked Posobiec why he chose New York City—now led by newly elected socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani—for an event centered on patriotism and conservative activism.
“Talk to me about the fact that you chose to come to one of, if not the most progressive liberal left cities in the country, just elected a socialist mayor. And yet you came in here,” the host said.
Posobiec responded, “Well, look, here’s what it is, right? We’re either going to MAGA or we’re going to get Marxism.”
He also noted that Charlie Kirk often spoke about “[freedom] and New York City at the same time,” highlighting the symbolism of hosting the event in a city with landmarks deeply tied to American history.
“Look, there’s the Freedom Tower here. There’s obviously the 9/11 history. And we came in because we said, freedom is not going to go away. Freedom is going to fight. That’s what Charlie Kirk stood for. New York City is America’s most iconic city. And I say this as a Philly guy, that it is the greatest city in America. It just is, right? Sorry. Sorry, dad. But great history, great history. Talk about freedom, talk about America, but freedom is going to fight,” Posobiec said.
During the handout outside Madison Square Garden, a man who had been speaking with Posobiec suddenly collapsed from what appeared to be a seizure or overdose. Posobiec quickly carried him down the steps and checked his pulse while awaiting first responders.
Posobiec, Benny Johnson, and members of Turning Point USA distributed thousands of “Freedom Charlie Kirk” shirts ahead of the event. Videos posted across X showed long lines of fans eagerly taking shirts, with many putting them on before entering the arena.
Posobiec wrote, “THE T-SHIRTS ARE FREE BUT FREEDOM IS NOT!” He also said in a statement, “We’re out here tonight standing with the people of the UFC, some of the best Americans, and we’re keeping the legacy of Charlie Kirk going strong.”
As he continued handing out shirts, he added, “Do it for Charlie.”
Johnson posted a photo of a large crowd wearing the shirts and said the group was “taking over” Madison Square Garden.
After the final box was emptied, Posobiec posted a video saying: “We gave out 3,000 in one hour in the heart of NYC. Freedom doesn’t quit. Freedom fights.”
