Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to another edition of Thought Crime Thursday.
00:00:33.360
A lot of thought crimes this week, especially some which involve Charlie Kirk directly.
00:00:40.080
But riding side saddle, of course, we've got the great Blake and also producer Andrew.
00:00:48.440
For once, I think we're all going to be remote.
00:00:52.840
Blake is in an undisclosed location in a bunker somewhere.
00:01:03.360
That means you and Jack are actually relatively close by.
00:01:07.580
Yeah, we talked about actually seeing if we could get the logistics to work to be together.
00:01:13.020
I didn't realize he was in town and I'd like family stuff going on.
00:01:16.980
But one day, one day, we'll all be here together.
00:01:19.600
But the the the big story, right, the big story that I think of the week that we've all
00:01:30.360
I'd like to say that we sort of, you know, called this shot a full year ago here on Thought
00:01:38.080
It is this Sidney Sweeney ad that has completely taken over the universe.
00:01:50.880
Of course, she's playing, you know, paying homage, I guess you could say, to a Brooke Shields
00:01:55.920
ad from 1980 and where, you know, there's a very similar monologue and they're using
00:02:01.860
a pun, of course, genes and genes with a J and the G.
00:02:05.100
And the left is is in I have to say they're just in complete meltdown mode over this.
00:02:11.540
And again, by the way, this is just a commercial, right?
00:02:16.340
And I love this because and Blake, I want to throw it to you because whenever the right
00:02:21.240
used to get upset about, say, like Dylan Mulvaney or one of these things, wouldn't they
00:02:29.560
And I would argue, I guess, that these things aren't just commercials.
00:02:33.220
These are ubiquitous mass media campaigns that are launched with multimillion dollars.
00:02:39.640
I wouldn't be surprised if this was a billion dollar campaign behind Sidney Sweeney because
00:02:44.120
There are people taking pictures in malls all over the place of this.
00:02:51.880
It is, in fact, a huge tell for where we are as a society.
00:02:57.200
Yeah, well, I think, first of all, we should probably show the ad in case people haven't
00:03:00.960
So, yeah, there was the like the image ad where she has great jeans.
00:03:09.600
I'm not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans.
00:03:14.140
And I definitely won't say that they're the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn.
00:03:26.500
But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I'm not going to stop you.
00:03:32.040
But just so we're clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans.
00:03:49.300
And I think 524 is the one that's really, really pushing the envelope with a lot of these
00:03:54.960
Jeans are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color,
00:04:26.160
I think that's the real, you know, thing we really need to zero in on.
00:04:54.380
I was, uh, I was, uh, trying on, on some new jeans.
00:05:07.820
And, uh, I'm considering an American Eagle purchase.
00:05:30.120
I want you to let you know that that ad, the reaction was so insulting.
00:05:37.760
I bought American Eagle jeans just as a protest.
00:05:44.680
It was, the radicalization just from the reaction of this advertisement has been, uh, has been
00:05:51.840
Every time that a leftist screams about Sidney Sweeney being some sort of like, or the ad
00:05:59.620
being some eugenicist ad or Nazi propaganda, I think, like, a thousand more young men register
00:06:09.100
Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wing.
00:06:17.160
It's, like, the best marketing that the Republican Party could ever hope for.
00:06:25.260
And, uh, think about how many, one of my, one of my favorites, one of my favorites, I'll
00:06:33.520
let Jack chime in, is, you know, some of these Subaru women on social media, they're like,
00:06:38.520
what do young men see in Sidney Sweeney anyway?
00:06:41.040
I'm like, yeah, you really don't understand me in nature, obviously.
00:06:43.800
Literally, if they don't understand, they should see our streaming numbers shoot up every
00:06:50.620
It's, it's, it's definitely, it's definitely her, her personality.
00:06:57.960
Well, so let's, let's look at where we were in advertising a year ago or even two years
00:07:03.660
ago when we had the likes of Dylan Mulvaney being a corporate, uh, the face of a corporate
00:07:10.920
Uh, we had the likes of the, the plus size models.
00:07:13.960
Remember the plus size models were feeded upon us in Times Square and in marketing campaigns
00:07:33.560
Did they do an American Eagle just to troll them?
00:07:36.620
The, the, did they, no, I, I'm sorry, Jack, interrupt the one way she's holding the dog.
00:07:40.400
Is she really holding a German shepherd in one of the advertisements?
00:07:47.600
How, how has this been lost on all the critics?
00:07:56.040
Although the German shepherds are the most trainable dogs.
00:07:59.900
That's why they use them in the military law enforcement.
00:08:04.560
Of all the picture of all the dogs they could have selected.
00:08:20.940
So, and, and yeah, we've got a bunch of videos reacting to this, but think of the billions
00:08:26.080
and billions of dollars that were spent on these mass marketing campaigns to try to
00:08:30.660
tell us that the, the, the 2019 American Eagle model was as I'm just going to say it.
00:08:39.580
I was, it was as attractive as the 2025 it's, it's clear.
00:08:45.700
Um, I'm not really that much of a badonkadonk guy myself.
00:08:48.940
I I'm sure that I'm sure that they're out there.
00:08:51.300
I've certainly met guys like that when I was in the military, but you know, I'll go
00:08:57.840
And I'm sorry, like you're, you want young men to not be attracted to Sidney Sweeney's
00:09:03.760
like you could, you could spend all the money in the world.
00:09:07.440
Elon Musk could come up with the greatest AI input, all of the knowledge of the entire
00:09:13.480
And it will not be able to come up with a computation that will make young men not be attracted
00:09:38.880
How about, uh, let's start with, I think the funniest one is let's do 501.
00:09:46.040
Not enough because I'm starting to think we're one Sidney Sweeney campaign away from them
00:10:01.280
I think that one is like kind of a, you know, a little bit.
00:10:16.880
We begin with the backlash of our new ad campaign featuring actress Sidney Sweeney.
00:10:22.440
And the tagline is Sidney Sweeney has great genes.
00:10:25.520
Now, in one ad, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed actress talks about genes as in DNA being passed
00:10:31.880
The play on words is being compared to Nazi propaganda with racial undertones.
00:10:39.360
The pun, good genes, activates troubling historical associations for this country.
00:10:47.000
The American eugenics movement in its prime between like 1900 and 1940 weaponized the idea
00:10:54.200
of good genes, um, just to, to justify white supremacism.
00:10:59.160
Despite that backlash, American Eagle stock has been soaring.
00:11:10.800
Can someone, Charlie, you're, you're on campus all the time.
00:11:13.140
You know, you know, you see you, you interact with these professors as well as the kids.
00:11:17.160
I was told that race was a social construct along with gender.
00:11:21.080
So if race is a social construct, then how can what she say be racist?
00:11:27.040
But if race is a social construct, then how can that be racist?
00:11:34.140
Well, you're not allowed to ask those questions, right?
00:11:36.440
You're not allowed to talk about genetics, even though some of the most popular, most touted
00:11:40.060
companies the last couple of years was 23andMe and Ancestry.com.
00:11:52.720
Yeah, I mean, when we talk about race and all this, I mean, we, we are living in a world
00:12:00.720
And, you know, we're, I mean, all the races, at least black, I mean, but I think basically
00:12:07.220
most of the races, except for white, have a free license to sort of talk about how great
00:12:13.340
I mean, I don't understand what the, if we're going to be consistent here, then we should
00:12:19.720
It's, you know, everything, everything should be fair game.
00:12:29.760
I mean, it's support black businesses, black lives matter, black history month.
00:12:33.660
And there is one single lady, there's one lady who is in a advertisement for jeans and
00:12:52.900
Should we be surprised that a company whose name is literally American Eagle is making
00:13:03.420
Like a blonde haired, blue eyed, white woman is talking about her good jeans.
00:13:21.660
Can we have a conversation about that as a side note?
00:13:24.860
What is with the, I have a whole theory as to why young men find Sidney Sweeney attractive
00:13:40.540
I mean, you look at the, I mean, you look at the difference there.
00:13:52.060
And I'm sure some of them are good people, but what, what is the pro septum piercing argument?
00:14:12.200
I just would like to be able to order coffee somewhere that, you know, I don't have to see
00:14:17.520
I mean, I, I guess I can understand if it's somewhere just everywhere.
00:14:24.900
You know, the, you know, tattoos all over the place and septum piercings all over the place.
00:14:30.040
And you see this with like teachers now in, in grade schools, you see this in, uh, children's
00:14:38.440
Cause you know, I watch like kids media, Charlie, I'm sure the same boat and Andrew.
00:14:41.000
Cause you know, we, we have little kids and all the time I'm an expert in it.
00:14:44.520
I never remember anyone in kids media looking like that before, but you know, just to go
00:14:50.440
back to Sydney Sweeney, I think Charlie, what you're saying is it's because.
00:14:55.180
You know, the, the, the qualities that she has are just naturals.
00:15:01.900
I think it's really the naturals that these young men are so attracted to her, her wonderful
00:15:12.940
So first of all, I like on the, on the septum piercing thing, there's kind of two theories
00:15:16.940
you'll see, uh, one is kind of, there is this element where sometimes, uh, it's a psychological
00:15:25.640
theory that women will like egg on each other supposedly in a, like a, you go girl sort of
00:15:31.940
They'll egg each other onto doing things that make you less competitive, like in the, basically
00:15:37.460
in the dating market in competing for the attention of men.
00:15:40.880
So you'll be like, does this, does this septum piercing like make me look good?
00:15:44.240
And you're like, yeah, it makes you look great sister.
00:15:47.480
And like, even subconsciously they realize it doesn't do that, but that's a good thing
00:15:51.720
because you want, you want the competition to be sabotaged.
00:15:56.740
Another theory, frankly, you could kind of relate it to, um, you know, the social contagion
00:16:02.700
with transgenderism where women are, you know, young women, they, this is the theory in that,
00:16:09.900
um, Abigail Schreier book where women who are in their teens and they're sort of traumatized
00:16:16.140
by suddenly, you know, they've hit puberty, they're suddenly getting male attention.
00:16:19.300
And some of them find that very uncomfortable and this uncomfortable thing sort of drives
00:16:25.120
them in the direction of, well, maybe I just don't want to be a woman at all.
00:16:27.880
And you kind of, you do the whole dramatic, you know, identifying as having no gender
00:16:33.920
And that's like a way to secede from male attention and maybe like really disgusting body
00:16:39.940
deformations, like piercing your septum, getting a really hideous tattoo, or even just getting
00:16:49.660
It gets you away from that uncomfortable element of attention.
00:16:53.000
Like everyone, everyone's so afraid of receiving attention from others that feels uncomfortable
00:17:00.940
Uh, so there's kind of competing theories out there.
00:17:03.600
Um, another one on the flip side, this is a common one with tattoos is that if you get
00:17:07.800
a tattoo, it actually does increase the attention you get, even though, uh, most men find them
00:17:15.260
A lot of men will basically hit on women who have tattoos because they perceive that they'll
00:17:21.100
be really easy, that they'll, uh, they, they, they've shown a pattern of making bad decisions
00:17:26.020
and maybe the next bad decision they'll make is going out with them.
00:17:32.060
Uh, and I do think you are correct though, that a lot of the appeal of Sydney Sweeney is
00:17:35.260
like, we need to analyze this when it's the most straightforward thing in the world.
00:17:39.100
Sydney Sweeney is thin, has good symmetry, has like a generally good appearance, has no
00:17:45.420
weird deformations, no weird traits added to her.
00:17:52.540
And it's like the fact that you even need to explain that at all is exactly why the left
00:17:58.920
So to circle back to that big picture thing I wanted to bring up, the most interesting
00:18:03.440
thing about this is that really for our entire lives and our youth, the left was associated
00:18:09.080
with like youthful beauty and like the stereotypical right winger would maybe be like an old church
00:18:15.640
mom, like lecturing you about something or this like grumpy old man.
00:18:20.020
And now it's like the left itself is coming out and saying, oh, this image of like an attractive
00:18:27.040
That's a right wing message, a far right message.
00:18:32.820
I suppose, guys, I, um, I have to, I'm going to take the, the body mod and then the Sydney
00:18:44.460
I might get my second media matters article for this, but I think that body mod, not always,
00:18:49.880
I think there's some people that are just creative.
00:18:51.740
I mean, it might be kind of the tattoo instinct that they feel like it's a form of creativity.
00:18:56.780
I think a lot of it though, is spiritual darkness.
00:19:00.240
I think there is a, a tendency to modify the natural, to take away from God's design when
00:19:10.320
This is why we run into so many of these kids on campuses with the, the piercings and the
00:19:15.880
green hair and, and, you know, they're, they're purposefully rebelling against natural order,
00:19:21.380
even in the way they dress and nothing can be considered traditional or standard fare.
00:19:29.480
I personally believe that secondly, I think the, the Sydney Sweeney to answer your first
00:19:35.520
question, Charlie, why does she appeal is because she's like American coded.
00:19:38.880
Like she, even in this ad, she's driving around in an old Mustang and peeling out and she doesn't
00:19:44.360
make it, she doesn't make excuses for her beauty.
00:19:49.380
Um, and she's not pandering to sort of this left coded modern, uh, weak wokeness.
00:20:01.580
It's a throwback to like the 1960s and seventies and everything about it, about it is just to
00:20:07.340
Jack's point is natural and it's, she's leaning in as opposed to trying to make excuses for
00:20:19.940
Look, I totally disavowed this video, obviously, but I have to play it anyway.
00:20:45.920
We got, we got to ask, uh, we'll have to ask, uh, Bobby Kennedy about that one.
00:20:54.120
I want to ask about the president's fitness test they were doing today.
00:21:03.920
You know, they were kind of Duncan donuts also had, and that was a male in this case,
00:21:08.540
but they basically put out an ad where he's like, I'm basically the king of summer.
00:21:12.740
And it's very clear that this is like, it's like, guys, this is the stuff that people were
00:21:20.840
You go back to the nineties, all commercials looked like this.
00:21:24.220
Gillette, the best a man can get, the best a man can get.
00:21:27.440
And it was that video about the dad and his son.
00:21:30.980
And then like the grandfather comes in, this is my dad.
00:21:33.480
And they're passing the razor on down through the generations.
00:21:40.540
And so when you think about things like that, you think about things like, like last year,
00:21:45.560
white boy summer was a huge trend that was going around.
00:21:48.300
And it's very clear that this is the way the country is moving.
00:21:52.140
And what I want to be clear is it's, it's not quote unquote moving far, right.
00:21:56.660
It's moving back to the center where everything always was.
00:22:00.460
Like, yeah, guys like girls who look like Sydney Sweeney.
00:22:09.340
Let's, well, let's, let's play the, the Duncan ad.
00:22:29.580
Every time I drink a Duncan golden hour refresher, it's like the sun just finds me.
00:22:33.500
So if sipping these refreshers makes me the king of summer, guilty as charged.
00:23:31.100
You know, it's another actor that mentions genes and genetics.
00:23:38.820
Well, and that's why MSNBC is now complaining that.
00:23:50.300
Sydney Sweeney's ad shows an unbridled cultural shift towards whiteness.
00:24:03.020
And I actually saw some people on social media saying there's no actual pushback to this.
00:24:16.980
I'm just saying like people were suggesting that there that the whole pushback to the Sydney Sweeney ad was contrived, that it was manufactured, that there wasn't any popular support for it.
00:24:26.020
But I mean, if that's true, I mean, there has been so much coverage of this from the left.
00:24:33.760
Like they're playing right into our hands if this is if this is manufactured.
00:24:39.780
I think they're legitimately that deranged that they can't help themselves.
00:24:43.660
I just I want to read some quotes from the MSNBC article about the shift towards whiteness, because it really is.
00:24:51.120
It's like you just take a time capsule back to the gobbledygook they were writing eight years ago.
00:24:56.420
The backlash to the ad has been swift and fierce, and some of it, at least if you ask me, is fair.
00:25:02.320
The Internet has been quick to condemn the advertisement as non-inclusive at best and as overtly promoting white supremacy and Nazi propaganda at worst.
00:25:13.560
These critics point to the copy and the implication of calling a white person superior because of their genes.
00:25:20.180
In the videos, Sweeney exudes a sort of vintage sexiness that caters to the male gaze.
00:25:26.980
She embodies the near mythological girl next door, beautiful but low maintenance femininity that dominated media in the 1990s and the early 2000s.
00:25:37.580
Together, the campaign feels regressive and not retro, offensive and not cheeky.
00:25:44.400
The advertisement and the choice of Sweeney as the sole face in it and the Internet's reaction reflects an unbridled cultural shift towards whiteness, conservatism and capitalist exploitation.
00:26:02.580
Man, this person would get an A in some incredibly stupid college class in like 2015.
00:26:06.820
In 2025, I mean, the college cabal is still very much active.
00:26:16.240
I don't think we should ever assume that we've fully like smited these ignoramuses, but like this is, I mean, yeah, there is a shift towards opening the culture back up and feeling free to make, you know, provocative statements and ads and comedy and all this stuff.
00:26:33.860
This is all a good thing, but these people, we have not beaten them fully.
00:26:38.460
I think everybody needs to like slow their roll and understand just how pervasive this ideology will be.
00:27:09.140
Many, many were upset at the New York Times when that was launched, but you know what?
00:27:33.660
So it's like, guys, do you want to go over here and have fun?
00:27:38.800
Go hang out with Sydney Sweeney or, you know, and Andrew, I do.
00:27:41.740
You know, Andrew did have to take a lot of phone calls on that one.
00:27:47.080
So why are you platforming a white supremacist?
00:27:51.720
Yeah, well, it's literally, it's literally, yeah, it was, it was the original.
00:27:59.440
By the way, Sydney Sweeney was asked once to disavow.
00:28:03.620
I guess she was at like some family, family event up in Spokane, Washington.
00:28:07.620
And there were some people there wearing MAGA hats.
00:28:13.080
And she's like in these Instagram shots with, you know, other people of her family who happen
00:28:19.220
Again, this is like rural Washington state towards the border with Idaho.
00:28:28.880
And I'm, you know, I'm not going to talk about that.
00:28:42.220
They want to, they want to break away from Western Washington.
00:28:50.220
Was there, what, was there something else this week?
00:28:54.520
Regarding anyone who's on the South, I don't know.
00:28:59.820
You can just shut up, baby, because you hate America and you love abortion.
00:29:11.380
On Comedy Central and next day on Paramount Plus.
00:29:18.820
Jack, explain this to me like I have no idea what's going on.
00:29:22.320
I just want to say that Blake was on vacation for the first three days of the week.
00:29:26.720
And like, so I bet we basically didn't hear from him.
00:29:29.000
I'll let him tell you if he wants what he was doing.
00:29:32.600
But the one time Blake chimes into the chat when Charlie discovered that he was caricatured on South Park.
00:29:45.080
I have never in my time working with you, Charlie, been so blown up with congratulatory text.
00:29:55.780
And meanwhile, the libs are like, Charlie, they're making fun of you.
00:30:12.400
So you, they tried to own you and you actually owned them owning you.
00:30:17.720
And you turned it into something that's even more powerful.
00:30:22.420
And I, I, I, I love the reaction here because of course it's great.
00:30:28.940
This is Cartman who, and this is, this is Cartman's thing, right?
00:30:39.460
You know, you hate America and you love abortion.
00:30:42.760
It's like, he's got the Holy Bible next to him.
00:30:46.300
And I'm like, man, if you want to just distill like all of Charlie Kirk
00:30:49.880
down in one sentence, it's like, you hate America.
00:30:57.060
Shut up, baby, because you hate America and love abortions.
00:31:03.040
Like we've got, we've got the two water bottles at the table.
00:31:07.180
They got, they got the dark blue t-shirt that Charlie's always wearing.
00:31:11.240
PC principal's kind of like the security team, of course.
00:31:16.320
I don't know if they're like looking for any inspiration, but if they are like, uh, they
00:31:20.400
could, uh, and the hair, the hair, it's perfect.
00:31:29.740
Where are the, those, those are just about as famous as the hats.
00:31:34.500
If I come out and I'm throwing hats, but also, guys, no, look, they have the step and repeat
00:31:41.160
They have like the close up logo in the background.
00:31:52.280
So Charlie, we have to give you a primer in this.
00:31:55.240
I mean, you haven't watched since you were in high school.
00:31:58.500
So let's go ahead and play a smattering of South park.
00:32:23.760
There's a whole lot of my heart and I can't go.
00:33:04.160
Have you watched Sheldon Earth like as a teenager, Charlie?
00:33:17.640
I mean, then I just got distracted by, you know, high school starting turning point.
00:33:20.940
But during Bush, it was like, it was must watch.
00:33:23.220
As I said, last time I really watched it was during high school.
00:33:31.260
Everyone would be talking about it the next day.
00:33:35.380
And then you came to school and talked about it.
00:33:41.940
Like a show you watched, like a cartoon show you watched growing up is now, it's lasted
00:33:51.220
All I can say is that there are numerous things that are happening this summer and have yet
00:33:57.660
to happen that I can't quite comprehend and that I can't quite grasp.
00:34:01.460
Andrew knows about one that will not be public until it actually happens.
00:34:04.980
That is kind of like a larger than life moment.
00:34:08.340
I mean, look, I can throw every cliche out there, but when I first saw it, I just laughed.
00:34:13.840
I was like, I honestly thought, because I first saw it in some Twitter account I didn't
00:34:21.220
Like that was my first initial reaction was like, come on, this is somebody that just
00:34:27.900
Then I went to the, I was like, wow, this is pretty awesome.
00:34:29.780
And then the second thought I had is campus tours, me behind a table debating college
00:34:39.800
So it's a, it's, it's a, it's a badge of honor and look, they're going to do their
00:34:48.600
Like that's a, that's a, that's a, a signifier of how far we've come in the impact that we're
00:34:54.860
And I, I think it's a, I mean, look, either other episode on Trump the other week.
00:34:59.540
I mean, people had a lot of mixed reactions or negative reactions, and I'm just going to
00:35:15.020
It carries a 4,000 watt charge and is your best option for enforcing border patrol law.
00:36:12.740
These are the men and women of the U.S. border patrol.
00:36:15.820
They work around the clock protecting America's prosperity.
00:36:19.600
They are the front line in making sure Mexicans stay here and work.
00:36:23.900
The border patrol is uncompromising, diligent, and geared.
00:36:28.400
They will defend, arrest, and most importantly, let the Mexicans know that they are way better off here in the United States.
00:36:35.760
So wait, was the joke in that episode that they were keeping them here?
00:36:43.080
Is that like when the border patrol didn't, is that when they didn't do their job under Biden?
00:37:00.480
About 15 years ago, they did a similar parody, like when Glenn Beck was at the peak of his popularity, they did like a Glenn Beck parody.
00:37:07.620
And what I remember about it is they really, like they nailed a lot of good details on it.
00:37:12.180
Like, you know, the whiteboard Glenn would have, where he would, you know, kind of tie concepts together.
00:37:18.620
So I thought I'd maybe ask Charlie, like if they could make sure Eric uses, Eric Hartman uses like one line that you like to use or has like one kind of tick of your, like what would you want them to have in it?
00:37:30.640
Um, probably what is the, probably the, what is a woman is a pretty famous one, or, um, would you like a hat?
00:37:39.320
That line has been pretty, uh, has gone pretty viral or so who you voting for?
00:37:45.140
Um, but no, look, I, I, there, there's, there's so many, I would have to think about it.
00:37:50.000
Um, one of the ones that went super viral is, uh, liberals are all rage and no wisdom.
00:37:56.240
And so, but I, I look forward to just kind of all the little small details and, um, honestly, with like the security behind me, uh, it's just, it goes to show though.
00:38:07.300
And I mean, this needless to say that what we have done has really, um, has permeated the culture.
00:38:14.180
I think more so than we even realize at times, right.
00:38:17.300
As the actual, I mean, we know it's big, I know it's broad, we know it's impactful, but I will, this is, uh, this is a whole new.
00:38:23.700
I'm doing that, Charlie. I have, you can just sit there and just not say anything if you want, but I mean, I have been blown away personally because I've walked with you in public places and I'll be, and I have taken you to a couple of places where I thought would be, you'd be protected and kind of nondescript or whatever.
00:38:42.540
And it's like selfie after selfie, after selfie, after selfie.
00:38:46.880
And I mean, you could be in midtown Manhattan and you're getting stopped all the time for selfies.
00:38:53.180
Negative and positive might I add in mid, yeah.
00:38:56.600
I'm sure, but I'm telling you, I've taken you to very blue places and you get stopped a lot and a lot by young, young people, like specifically in that like 15 to 25 age, age range, sometimes younger even, but, um, those are the ones that will stop you.
00:39:12.840
And, and it, and for me, it's constantly a reminder, like, Whoa, uh, I, I am, cause I've worked with you for so long.
00:39:20.180
I remember one of my first times working with Charlie, we were at the airport.
00:39:24.360
We were, you know, I forget which airport, but it was, you know, a big airport.
00:39:28.460
And there was one kid that stopped Charlie and gave him a fist bump.
00:39:33.700
So the whole time we were walking, there was one kid stopped.
00:39:41.080
And to go from there to where we're at, where I literally can't take you anywhere anymore is, is nuts.
00:39:52.840
My personal favorite is when you were headed back from the UK, we're in airport security at Heathrow airport.
00:39:58.960
And there's these like British high school aged kids.
00:40:04.320
He's like, yo, yeah, I think that's Charlie Kirk over there.
00:40:14.940
When we were at the RNC, all these like French girls, they were, must've been like 18, 19 years old.
00:40:21.960
And, uh, they were at the RNC doing some sort of like, you know, cultural exchange and they, all they wanted to do was take a picture with Charlie.
00:40:32.060
And we, and I remember Charlie, you were up on stage doing, we were doing our live, uh, our live stream.
00:40:38.620
And, uh, I think you had Byron Donalds and Vivek Ramaswamy on stage with you at the RNC and, you know, Byron gets off and I'm like, Hey, do you want to selfie with Byron?
00:40:52.100
And I was like, do you want to selfie with Vivek?
00:40:59.260
And they're like, he's red pilling all the French kids.
00:41:02.180
And I was like, uh, oh, listen, it's like, look out Western world and thank, and thank you for the good words, but it would not be possible without, of course, the turning point USA chapter and all the field work, but then also the editing team and the filmers from VI, right?
00:41:24.120
And so we could go around and compliment each other endlessly, which is necessary, but I have the easy part.
00:41:29.420
I get to sit there and I get to just yammer on always and ask questions out of a bunch of kids.
00:41:52.080
It is, it's otherworldly because, you know, the campus stuff always had a little bit of resonance and virality, but it went from like a pocket connection.
00:42:01.360
Got a couple million views to now a household, not just, not just name, but the South Park thing, which is what's so interesting, a household concept.
00:42:10.720
Meaning like, oh, Charlie at a table debating a kid.
00:42:13.780
It's like that visual has like set in similar to like who wants to be a millionaire, right?
00:42:19.180
Like it's like a very, or like jeopardy or wheel of fortune, right?
00:42:23.600
It's something that when you show it, people are like, oh yeah, I know what that is.
00:42:28.520
And what's so important with no major corporate backing, that's what's so crazy.
00:42:36.000
Not like it was like some major fortune 100 company that came in.
00:42:39.400
It was like, oh, let's go make you a celebrity and let's go spend a hundred million dollars.
00:42:47.700
So just so I'm clear, guys, so Cartman is playing me.
00:42:51.460
So this Cartman character seems to get involved in a lot of different things, it seems.
00:42:59.060
Minding our own business and she keeps saying she's Eric Cartman.
00:43:11.000
There's a diverse female where Cartman used to be and you don't like that.
00:43:19.300
And if you boys don't think Eric can be a black woman, then maybe the problem is you.
00:43:25.340
You think it's perfectly normal that Cartman is suddenly a black woman?
00:43:28.560
You probably don't like that Indiana Jones got replaced by a female either, huh?
00:43:49.340
Everyone tried to be nice because we have a new student joining us today.
00:44:09.740
Why don't you take a seat in Kyle's empty desk for now?
00:44:40.220
I mean, Charlie, you've been raging against the Islamic takeover of the West.
00:44:48.260
Now it all starts to make sense why everyone's congratulating me.
00:44:54.980
Because, again, I've been a decade since I've watched the program.
00:44:58.660
But is there one more that we would highly recommend here?
00:45:11.840
Stan, you said your mom was bringing Kentucky Fried Chicken home for dinner.
00:45:23.620
You boys can help bring in the other groceries in the car, then have your chicken.
00:45:59.220
Cartman, you ate the skin off of every piece of chicken!
00:46:06.580
I'm gonna sit on the toilet and read comic books.
00:46:21.020
Uh, she's sort of busy right now, Miss Swanson.
00:46:23.460
Just want to tell her no hard feelings about me winning the strong woman competition.
00:46:28.160
Yeah, you already told her that at the competition.
00:46:32.040
Because it's starting to seem like you have a problem with me.
00:46:36.240
I was just stopping by to make sure you're not too beat up.
00:46:42.540
I'm sorry, but I have all the kids right now, and they're...
00:46:51.040
Your mom must be a strong woman to take care of all of you.
00:46:54.500
Of course, I have the strong woman trophy, though.
00:47:15.920
And if you dare call me a transphobe again, I'm going to...
00:47:27.880
Come on over and see all Auntie Heather if you want to see what a real strong woman is like.
00:47:33.460
And with that, we say keep committing thought crimes.
