Security for the event was moderate, with several police officers from the MSU Department of Police and Public Safety present, along with members of MSU security and Krauss’s personal security team in attendance. Attendees were required to have a ticket and undergo screening with a handheld metal detector before entering.

Ty Bommarito, a member of MSU's chapter of Turning Point USA, said Krauss is a good example of young conservatives making a difference by having events like Monday evening’s.

"She's not just a media figure, but she's also somebody who does the technical work of being in politics while being so young," Bommarito said. "She's a good example for all of us. We just know she has a lot of good thoughts that we think this campus should hear."

Krauss covered a variety of topics during her speech, opening with a discussion on Zionism, and moving into topics like transgenderism, gun violence, motherhood and the government. 

Shortly after the event was over, Krauss spoke with The State News. She said that Monday’s appearance was her second time speaking at MSU, noting that her first visit occurred right before the COVID-19 pandemic and shutdown.

"I had my third kid with me, she was 9 months old at the time and the students were so welcoming there when I gave my pro-life is pro-women's speech, and the chapter is rebuilt and grown, which is really exciting to see post-COVID and they asked me to come back and give this speech," Krauss said.

On the more controversial topics she discussed throughout the evening, she said she wished those who disagreed with some of her points had shown up.

"This happens at the campuses and churches that I speak at across the country, where people get really upset on social media, but then don't do anything about it in real life," Krauss said. "I would give all people on the right and the left, the advice of if you're upset by something, do something about it in a peaceful and honorable way. Show up, engage in debate and dialogue, because that makes us a better nation."

In the practice of engaging in debate and dialogue, Krauss said she hopes that civil discourse that takes place at college campuses like MSU continues.

"I think that people left, right and center, of all backgrounds should be able to have a voice," Krauss said. "And if invited by students, by a student-led organization like Young America's Foundation, they're able to come and speak to as many people as they please on a campus, and that we shouldn't be shutting down any types of speech."
