经过长时间的审查，颇具争议的Twitch主播哈桑·皮克尔（Hasan Piker）终于在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（University of Texas, Austin）与学生们进行了交流。他佩戴着该校的橙色领带和徽章，在酒店房间开始直播，随后转移到德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的后台继续直播，最后才登上了舞台。
After much scrutiny, controversial Twitch streamer Hasan Piker spoke to students at the University of Texas, Austin. Sporting a Longhorn orange tie and pin, Piker began the stream in his hotel room and continued it backstage at UT Austin before he finally took the stage.
周日，该校的民主党学生组织表示他们被迫“将门票退还给数千名学生”，并称德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校拒绝为他们提供更大的活动场地；此外，另一个校外场地在经过“内部讨论”后也决定不承办该活动。尽管面临外界压力，该学生组织仍表示不会取消这次活动。
On Sunday, University Democrats said that they were forced to "return tickets to thousands of students," claiming that UT Austin refused to give them a larger space and an off-campus venue decided it would not host the event after "internal discussions." The student group declared they would not cancel the event despite outside pressure to do so.
周三晚上的活动现场，皮克尔一登场便受到了学生们热烈的欢呼与掌声。会场几乎座无虚席。他在演讲开始时演唱了《Hook ’Em Horns》，再次引发了观众的欢呼声。他感谢学生们尽管面临诸多反对仍前来参加此次活动。
Piker was welcomed into the Wednesday evening event with loud cheers and applause. The venue looked almost entirely filled. He opened his speech with "Hook 'Em Horns," garnering another wave of cheers. The streamer went on to thank the students for attending the event despite the backlash it received.
颇具争议的主播哈桑·皮克尔的演讲被华盛顿大学取消“今天原本应该有3000人来参加这次活动。3000人啊！这充分证明了即使在像德克萨斯州这样的地方，人们也能取得巨大的进步——而美国民主党却在这方面落后了太多，”皮克尔对观众说道。“这就是我今天来到这里的原因：不是因为外界的反对，而是因为我知道确实有人希望自己的声音能够被听到。”
CONTROVERSIAL STREAMER HASAN PIKER'S LECTURE AXED BY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON AMID FREE SPEECH QUESTIONS "There was supposed to be 3,000 people here today. Three thousand! It's a real testament to how much progress can be made in even a state like Texas that the people in the national Democratic Party have left behind," Piker told the crowd. "That's why I wanted to come here today, not just because of the pushback, not in spite of the pushback, but because I know for a fact that there are people who want their voices to be heard."
在演讲过程中，皮克尔回应了那些指责他憎恨美国的言论，他说：“我一直告诉大家，如果我讨厌美国，我早就成为共和党人了。”他还指责唐纳德·特朗普总统正在“破坏”这个国家。
At the top of his speech, Piker addressed allegations that he hates the U.S., saying "I always tell people that if I hated America, I'd be a Republican." He went on to accuse President Donald Trump of "destroying" the country.
在演讲中，皮克尔主要批评了共和党、唐纳德·特朗普、美国移民与海关执法局（U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement），以及以色列。
In his remarks, Piker focused much of his ire on Republicans, Trump, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Israel.
该活动由德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的学生组织“University Democrats”主办，但在活动宣布后很快就引发了强烈反对。活动前夕，包括州长格雷格·阿博特（Greg Abbott）、参议员泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）和众议员亨利·库埃拉尔（Henry Cuellar）在内的德克萨斯州立法者纷纷谴责哈桑·皮克（Hasan Piker）在该州的出席；皮克在活动开场发言中也对这些批评进行了回应。
The event was hosted by University Democrats, a student group at UT Austin, and it drew backlash soon after it was announced. Ahead of the event, Texas lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, including Gov. Greg Abbott, Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Henry Cuellar condemned Piker's appearance in the Lone Star State — all of whom Piker condemned at the beginning of his remarks at the university. HASAN PIKER DOUBLES DOWN, DEFENDS HIS 'GOD-GIVEN RIGHT' TO SAY HOW MUCH HE HATES AMERICA Cuellar raised concerns on X about Jewish students at UT Austin being made to feel unsafe due to Piker's presence.
哈桑·皮克再次坚称自己拥有“与生俱来的权利”，可以自由表达自己对美国的厌恶之情。库埃拉尔在社交媒体上指出，由于皮克的存在，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的犹太学生感到不安。
The Twitch streamer approached their criticism by speaking about the First Amendment and the importance of freedom of speech. However, he argued that those on the left are not given the same freedom as their ideological counterparts on the right.
这位Twitch主播在回应这些批评时提到了美国宪法第一修正案以及言论自由的重要性，但他认为左翼人士所享有的言论自由远不如右翼人士。此外，德克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特的新闻秘书安德鲁·马哈莱里斯（Andrew Mahaleris）也对皮克的言论表示谴责，他对《犹太新闻辛迪加》（Jewish News Syndicate）表示：“恐怖分子的同情者不应在德克萨斯州有任何立足之地。”
Additionally, Andrew Mahaleris, press secretary for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, also chimed in, telling Jewish News Syndicate (JNS), "Terrorist sympathizers have no place in Texas." In a statement provided to Fox News Digital on Sept. 16, Cruz said the event was a statement about the status of the Democratic Party. "Hasan Piker is an America-hating Marxist who has said that America deserved 9/11 and celebrates political violence against Republicans," Cruz's statement said.
泰德·克鲁兹在9月16日发给福克斯新闻数字版（Fox News Digital）的声明中称：“哈桑·皮克是一个憎恨美国的马克思主义者，他曾声称美国‘罪有应得’，并公然宣扬针对共和党的政治暴力行为。美国人当然享有言论自由，但善良的人们有责任谴责皮克的煽动言论。然而，一些民主党人却支持他进入大学校园；而几乎所有其他民主党人都选择保持沉默，甚至采取了更恶劣的态度。这充分反映了他们政党的真实面貌。”
"Americans are entitled to free speech, but it is incumbent upon good people to condemn Piker's incitement. Instead, some Democrats are bringing him to college campuses, while almost all other Democrats are conspicuously silent or worse. It says everything about the state of their party."
在批评德克萨斯州立法者的过程中，皮克再次强调第一修正案的重要性，认为右翼人士通常比左翼人士享有更多的言论自由。
In his criticism of the Texas lawmakers, Piker spoke about the First Amendment, claiming that those on the right are often given more freedom than those on the left.
哈桑·派克将矛头指向美国以色列公共事务委员会，民主党人也因此发声反对他。“我想谈谈言论自由的虚伪之处，”派克说，“它似乎只会朝一个方向发展，对吧？你不能拥有超出许可范围的观点，而且这个许可结构似乎年复一年地向‘正确’方向大幅摆动。”尽管遭到两党人士的反对，这场在得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校举行的活动总体上仍较为顺利，没有出现任何重大中断。
HASAN PIKER POINTS THE FINGER AT AIPAC AS DEMOCRATS SPEAK OUT AGAINST HIM "I want to talk about the hypocrisy of free speech," Piker said. "It seems to only go in one direction, right? You can't have an opinion that's outside of the permission structure, and the permission structure year over year seems to swing wide in the right direction." Despite the bipartisan backlash, the event at UT Austin was relatively smooth and was able to proceed without any major disruptions.
演讲结束后，派克在直播中感谢了观众，并承认，虽然他对前往得克萨斯州感到忐忑，但现场人数证明，即使在共和党占优势的州，也依然有人渴望听到进步派的声音。
After his speech wrapped, Piker thanked the audience on his livestream and admitted that, while he was apprehensive about being in Texas, the turnout proved the demand for progressive voices even in a red state.
