00:01:39.000 And there is a lot happening right now, but you know, we're going to spend our first hour enjoying a cultural success.

00:01:48.000 And I got some great friends with me.

00:01:50.000 I got Jack Pesobic, Andrew, producer Andrew, Blake Neff, producer Blake.

00:01:56.000 Wow.

00:01:56.000 And Tyler Boyer.

00:01:57.000 We have an entire roster.

00:01:59.000 What could possibly be going on where everyone is making and carving out time?

00:02:04.000 I could tell you what's going on.

00:02:06.000 It is, we were highlighted on a certain show called South Park rather prominently.

00:02:12.000 I'm going to throw this to Jack just to kind of set the table because it's easier to have somebody else talk about yourself than you talk about yourself.

00:02:22.000 Jack, what on earth did I appear on South Park?

00:02:27.000 So sort of, right?

00:02:28.000 In this new South Park episode, there's definitely Charlie Kirk's fingerprints, Charlie Kirk's DNA, if you will, have made their way through the cultural tableau into South Park.

00:02:40.000 Charlie Kirk is mainstream now.

00:02:42.000 Charlie Kirk is played a part of the zeitgeist.

00:02:45.000 And in this episode, Eric Hartman, of course, the, you know, sort of the fast-talking and loudmouth Eric Hartman that he is, he sort of tries to become Charlie Kirk.

00:02:58.000 So he isn't, you know, doing a parody of Charlie Kirk.

00:03:02.000 What he's doing is he's trying to become sort of like the South Park elementary version of Charlie Kirk because as it turns out in the episode, Eric Hartman is competing for the Charlie Kirk Award, which shows that there are now kids all across America who are trying to become Charlie Kirk in this new South Park episode.

00:03:25.000 I mean, it's something where five years ago, 10 years ago, I never would have believed that this was something that would be on South Park.

00:03:32.000 Totally.

00:03:33.000 And so let's play.

00:03:34.000 Let's play the first one here.

00:03:35.000 We have a whole gang and we're going to kind of take one at a time.

00:03:38.000 And so let's just play cut one.

00:03:41.000 And so for those that don't understand, South Park is very popular or you don't follow it.

00:03:46.000 It has a lot of cultural power.

00:03:48.000 Obviously, they're very nasty towards conservatives.

00:03:50.000 They were very nasty towards President Trump in the prior episode.

00:03:54.000 But we have this.

00:03:55.000 We have, I personally, I think a lot of it was hilarious towards me.

00:03:59.000 I think I gotta be honest.

00:04:02.000 So it was very funny, and I don't think we should have too thick of skin.

00:04:06.000 Let's play part one, which is Cut 402.

00:04:28.000 Yeah!

00:04:28.000 Well, you've obviously been taught by the Jews to have a problem with this school and with America, so let me ask you this.

00:04:32.000 What is your definition of a woman?

00:04:34.000 What is my what? 1.00

00:04:36.000 What is a woman?

00:04:36.000 It's a very simple question.

00:04:39.000 Well, a woman is a lady friend who, you know, gives you kisses.

00:04:43.000 You see, you can't answer the question, but something is male or it is female.

00:04:45.000 Both sides of scripture agree to that.

00:04:47.000 And that's just the truth.

00:04:48.000 That's another post of you totally destroyed.

00:04:51.000 Well, jeez.

00:04:53.000 Did you call the girls' soccer team a Marxist indoctrination factory?

00:04:57.000 That is correct. 0.98

00:04:58.000 We actually beat the fullest four to nothing, you know.

00:05:00.000 You can whine about American oppression all you want, but you're using an iPhone made by the free market to complain about a system that gave it to you. 1.00

00:05:05.000 Girls have it way easy in America. 1.00

00:05:07.000 That's just the truth. 1.00

00:05:08.000 Rules to get totally boomed. 1.00

00:05:11.000 Women have it good in America, just like black people do. 1.00

00:05:13.000 Black people have everything headed to the mother! 1.00

00:05:22.000 I'm sick of people stealing my stick! 1.00

00:05:24.000 If anyone around here is going to be a master debater, it's me.

00:05:28.000 So let's go!

00:05:29.000 Who wants to debate the master debater?

00:05:31.000 Let's go! 1.00

00:05:31.000 You right there! 1.00

00:05:33.000 That's the stupidest haircut I've ever seen. 1.00

00:05:35.000 You are now! 1.00

00:05:36.000 Liberty kids! 0.78

00:05:36.000 317 says it shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings. 0.78

00:05:40.000 So you can shut up, baby. 0.99

00:05:42.000 You just hate America and you love abortions. 1.00

00:05:47.000 The stupidest haircut I've ever seen. 1.00

00:05:50.000 First of all, I just think it's hilarious. 1.00

00:05:51.000 And secondly, the whole thing is like, wait, so a campus thing I've been doing for 13 years to debate random college kids has now been so important that it gets prominent primetime on Comedy Central.

00:06:06.000 I think the whole thing is just awesome and hilarious.

00:06:09.000 There's so much more I want to say about this, but the whole shtick, by the way, Comedy Central, South Park, you crushed the water.

00:06:16.000 I compulsively drink water on campus.

00:06:18.000 It's like, okay, boom.

00:06:20.000 We got to stay hydrated.

00:06:21.000 Now, the lozenges, you got to work a little.

00:06:24.000 And by the way, the Holy Bible right next to it, I even said on this campus tour, I was going to bring a Holy Bible with me to every single campus stop.

00:06:32.000 Andrew, you're just, what's on your mind?

00:06:35.000 I got to be honest.

00:06:36.000 That clip was hilarious.

00:06:38.000 That clip was great.

00:06:39.000 And it's actually of the three like long clips of you in this episode or of Cartman doing you or even you.

00:06:46.000 That's my least favorite.

00:06:48.000 So I can't wait to play the other ones.

00:06:49.000 But I'm telling you, not only were you featured in this episode, Charlie, your name was in bright lights as the Charlie Kirk Award.

00:06:58.000 So it was like Cartman was you, but he was attempting to be like Charlie Kirk.

00:07:04.000 And then there was a Charlie Kirk award that he's giving out to the best master debater.

00:07:09.000 And we have to get those shirts for you for tour, Charlie.

00:07:13.000 But it was basically an entire homage to the genre that you've popularized.

00:07:18.000 And yeah, there's other people that have gone on campus and Milo and Steven Crowder and Ben Shapiro that have done this format.

00:07:26.000 But I mean, you have taken it to such a new level.

00:07:30.000 Billions and billions of views on TikTok.

00:07:32.000 I mean, and they were so obviously parroting kind of some of your talking points.

00:07:38.000 I mean, it was amazing.

00:07:39.000 The things that the water, a lot of people are commenting on the water online because it really is something that you just keep doing.

00:07:47.000 And I was cracking up, Charlie, at one point in another clip.

00:07:50.000 We'll show it.

00:07:51.000 He literally starts taking the lid off.

00:07:53.000 And before he can get a drink and he sets it back down and grabs the mic and shuts down the person he's debating with, which you do all the time where you're almost going to take a drink.

00:08:02.000 And then you set it down to get your point in.

00:08:04.000 That's it.

00:08:05.000 Put it back in.

00:08:06.000 Putting down the mic in between the question.

00:08:08.000 That is like, that is pure art, South Park.

00:08:11.000 Like, that is a 10 out of 10.

00:08:13.000 Look, boom, some lib holy Bible reference.

00:08:13.000 Look at that.

00:08:18.000 Puts the mic down.

00:08:19.000 It's kind of like an amegulation.

00:08:21.000 But putting the mic down, that is pure.

00:08:23.000 And the girl reading off the phone, by the way, with like the angry, like, lib face, like, I'm reading so, it's, it's just, it's, it's just perfect.

00:08:33.000 Blake, your, your thoughts.

00:08:34.000 Yeah.

00:08:35.000 Yeah, it was all really good.

00:08:36.000 I enjoyed all of it.

00:08:38.000 And we don't want to obviously like hit the end.

00:08:41.000 They said a lot of mean things about various people in the episode, people who are friends of ours.

00:08:45.000 But what I will say is it was like a very flattering portrayal of Charlie to the extent that Cartman, Charlie's in the episode, but or he's he exists in the episode, but then Cartman is also just obviously copying Charlie.

00:09:00.000 Yet it's like a very kind of flattering one.

00:09:02.000 In fact, if you look online, there are liberals who are like, oh, Charlie Cook's going to really like this portrayal.

00:09:07.000 They wouldn't really be seeing him.

00:09:09.000 It was very affectionate.

00:09:12.000 The one thing that annoys me, to be honest, although it's also like funny, is they have, you know, Clyde Donovan is kind of parroting us.

00:09:20.000 But then they have Clyde say all this like, do you hate stuff in the episode?

00:09:24.000 And I thought that was like, that was like where they really misfired.

00:09:28.000 Yeah. 0.51

00:09:28.000 And I kind of wish we could have like a giant like throwdown between the people who accuse Charlie of being like a wild anti-Semite and the ones who accuse him of being like a ridiculous Israel firster and like they can annihilate each other like matter and anti-matter. 0.51

00:09:42.000 Isn't that what Clyde basically was, right?

00:09:44.000 Clyde was basically like the not, like the not Charlie.

00:09:48.000 Yeah, like it simultaneously gets Charlie ticks, but it is like the people who kind of get in on the action and try to like copy it, but they're like not as good.

00:09:56.000 They're just not as good at it.

00:09:57.000 I saw Clyde as like an amalgamation of like a bunch of different characters.

00:10:02.000 Like he's he's got like the supplement, you know, which like the which is very common.

00:10:08.000 It's, you know, whether it's Alex Jones or whether it's Joe Rogan or anybody that's considered right coded online has a supplement brand.

00:10:17.000 So that was like pretty funny, actually.

00:10:19.000 But yeah, I think all the Jew stuff, that was definitely my least favorite part. 1.00

00:10:25.000 But I also thought it was interesting that Cartman, who has the Charlie Kirk haircut, was quoting Leviticus and basically debating abortion the whole time.

00:10:34.000 So I thought that was that was actually pretty spot on.

00:10:39.000 The summer isn't just hot.

00:10:40.000 It's historic.

00:10:41.000 Flash flood warnings are at a 40-year high and it's not slowing down.

00:10:45.000 Town's underwater, roads washed out.

00:10:47.000 And in every crisis zone, the same scene, crowds standing in line, waiting, waiting for bottled water, waiting for food, waiting for someone to show up and save them.

00:10:56.000 They tell you that help is on the way, but what if it's not?

00:10:58.000 What if help takes days or doesn't come at all?

00:11:01.000 You think the system's built to protect you?

00:11:03.000 They can barely handle one emergency, let alone dozens.

00:11:05.000 I don't know about you, but I'm not going to be the one caught empty-handed.

00:11:09.000 And right now, my Patriot Supply is giving away four weeks of emergency food.

00:11:32.000 Tyler, I want to just ask Tyler Boyers here, runs Turning Point Action, has been around for a decade at Turning Point USA.

00:11:39.000 Tyler, when you first started, could you ever imagine that this journey of our work on college campuses would be not just a one-liner, but prominently displayed on a major show with South Park, a cultural institution?

00:11:53.000 Tyler, before we play more pieces of tape, just reflect on the cultural powerhouse and how we are living rent-free in the feeds of the producers and the writers of South Park.

00:12:04.000 Charlie, I was just thinking about this because you're not far from a campus that I was just reminiscing I had gone to all by myself and there was nobody there and you're hauling out tables.

00:12:04.000 Tyler.

00:12:15.000 I mean, Charlie can remember all this, hauling out folding tables and being out there.

00:12:20.000 And we've talked about this frequently about how crazy it is that we just go out there and there'd be nobody, right?

00:12:27.000 Like you, you would, it would like an hour would go by and like 15 kids would go by and one would kind of stop and like flick the stuff off your table and you'd have to try to engage them a little bit.

00:12:39.000 Yep.

00:12:40.000 And now it's like it's taken over TikTok.

00:12:44.000 It's taken over all social media.

00:12:45.000 You've transformed the entire dialogue that exists in America between young men and like crazy woke, you know, psychotic young people who are who have been indoctrinated and they're changing their minds every single day from this.

00:13:03.000 And now for it to be, I couldn't even imagine because I, you know, when I've been on those trips 10 years ago, Charlie, like going to every campus, I would stay up late at night and the only thing on all night long is South Park on Comedy Central.

00:13:16.000 So I would kind of like turn it on and do work and zone out.

00:13:20.000 And for all of this to be all in like one place now where they're like actually, you know, revering Charlie Kirk on South Park is just like so mind-boggling to me.

00:13:29.000 Like I don't even feel anything right now.

00:13:32.000 It's crazy.

00:13:32.000 It's like for me to depersonalize it and Blake or Andrew or Jack can chime in.

00:13:39.000 The thing I'm actually most proud of is the concept.

00:13:42.000 Okay, the name is obviously cool, but the fact that a concept, Andrew, or Andrew chimed in, that Andrew, you remember when you and I were like, hey, we should do more of these campus tour stops?

00:13:54.000 They kind of come up to the mic, we film it, we put it on the internet.

00:13:57.000 That we didn't not just go viral, but we created a recognizable genre, like a genre of viral videos.

00:14:05.000 And the editing style.

00:14:07.000 Like I said, there's other people that have gone to campus for sure.

00:14:10.000 Nobody to the extent, nobody had the infrastructure like Turning Point USA with all the campus chapters that were able to, because people don't understand, you have to be a registered student group in order to reserve the space and get the permitting.

00:14:21.000 And I mean, we have thousands of chapters with hundreds of thousands of students all across the country.

00:14:27.000 And so it's really, there's nobody that can do it at the scale that Turning Point can do.

00:14:32.000 But even the editing style that our team that's watching us do this right now has been a part of creating that split screen effect.

00:14:39.000 I mean, these are their ideas of how to edit these videos.

00:14:42.000 And it's fantastic to watch them even capture that and to emulate that.

00:14:48.000 But yeah, just when you think about it, I mean, Charlie, I remember when we were problem solving what to do on campus because we would have 3,000, 4,000 tickets, you know, by students that would ask for tickets to these events.

00:15:02.000 And then the campuses would give us like a tiny little room that would seat 400 kids and they wouldn't let half the people in.

00:15:09.000 The people would be mad at us like we had done something wrong.

00:15:12.000 And so I'll never forget it.

00:15:14.000 It was out of necessity that this like quad image that is now permeating culture was born where it was like, hey, let's just go set it up in the quad and we'll put loudspeakers up and a mic and we'll just kind of do it out where everybody can come and you don't need to have a seat or a ballroom or a lecture hall and they can't screw with us out there.

00:15:34.000 And I remember when it was at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in Blue, California in the spring of 2024, it was one of the first campus stops and about a thousand, 1,500 kids show up and they just started singing the national anthem organically out of nowhere.

00:15:51.000 And I remember seeing that clip and I had chills and I said, Charlie, something's happening.

00:15:55.000 And you looked at me and you were like, it's like something is really happening.

00:16:00.000 And people, it took the news media like another year to figure it out.

00:16:04.000 But we knew exactly like when it congealed, when it like came to a head and we could feel the energy really gathering.

00:16:13.000 And the fact is that, you know, much credit to the team because as big as the fall semester was ahead of the election, spring semester was twice as big online.

00:16:23.000 That's exactly right.

00:16:24.000 And look, we're conservatives.

00:16:25.000 We have good senses of humor.

00:16:26.000 You guys can make fun of us.

00:16:27.000 We just kind of roll our eyes.

00:16:28.000 We say whatever.

00:16:29.000 And honestly, some of the one-liners, they kind of captured some of the stuff.

00:16:33.000 And we're going to get to the funniest parts have yet to come where when I saw this, I literally, I was like, not just laughing out loud.

00:16:41.000 I was laughing uncontrollably because just the way the best humor is that it's a little skewed from the truth.

00:16:47.000 It's just like a little bit more of a push of an exaggeration.

00:16:50.000 And I think that they, I think that they hit the mark on some of the other parts of it.

00:16:54.000 It's kind of shrug your shoulders, whatever.

00:16:58.000 Charlie Kirk here, crime is skyrocketing.

00:17:00.000 You may already own a firearm, but before you face the financial and emotional weight of pulling the trigger, consider Burna.

00:17:06.000 Burna's less lethal launchers fire tear gas and kinetic rounds designed to incapacitate attackers for up to 40 minutes, giving you time to escape and call for help without deadly consequences.

00:17:18.000 I use Burna.

00:17:19.000 My family all has them and now meet the new compact launcher, an amazing product.

00:17:23.000 Sleek, slim, and hits like a sledgehammer, but the size of a smartphone, it's perfect for concealed carry.

00:17:29.000 Comfortable, discreet, and confidence-building.

00:17:31.000 It fires at 400 feet per second with 41 joules per square inch of stopping power.

00:17:36.000 That's enough force to halt a threat cold about the legal and moral complexities of lethal force.

00:17:41.000 What I love about Burna is they're proudly American.

00:17:43.000 Over 80% of their compact launchers components are sourced in America, and each unit is hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

00:17:49.000 Best of all, Burna is legal in all 50 states.

00:17:52.000 No background checks ships directly to your door.

00:17:54.000 Trusted by hundreds of police departments and government agencies around the world.

00:17:58.000 Visit Burna to learn more.

00:17:59.000 That is B-Y-R-N-A.com. 1.00

00:18:04.000 And Blake, can you mention, Blake, you put something in the chat just super quick.

00:18:08.000 You say, Blake, you said TikTok is why this episode happened.

00:18:11.000 I totally agree with that.

00:18:12.000 We decided to embrace it in kind of a contrarian way.

00:18:16.000 In fact, I was very anti-TikTok.

00:18:18.000 And Blake, you kind of challenged my assumptions.

00:18:20.000 You were like, well, why don't we just call it their bluff?

00:18:22.000 So you deserve a lot of credit for that, Blake, for kind of being, I don't know, like annoyingly contrarian in our group chat.

00:18:27.000 But Blake, can you comment on that?

00:18:29.000 Because TikTok was one of the reasons why this cultural victory happened.

00:18:35.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:35.000 I mean, it was credit also to Republicans for fighting back because I think them basically threatening to ban TikTok and saying we're ready to do that made them much more willing to play ball and be pro-free speech, actually.

00:18:48.000 And I just want to also shout out Ryan because Ryan was also a big advocate on that one.

00:18:54.000 But I think the reason I say that TikTok is Ryan is the maestro there.

00:18:58.000 Ryan's amazing at it.

00:19:00.000 But it really set that type, which is people getting those digestible clips where, you know, that's what they're parodying in the episode.

00:19:07.000 You know, woke student totally destroyed.

00:19:10.000 And so you get a good clip, a good exchange between Charlie and a liberal student on campus, whether it's on, you know, abortion or Trump or January 6th.

00:19:20.000 Do you know what the funniest part about all this is?

00:19:22.000 Charlie and Andrew, Andrew Fellier remembers this.

00:19:24.000 Remember when YouTube was shutting us down for saying those things?

00:19:28.000 Remember when we were highlighting?

00:19:30.000 We were saying, woke student destroyed.

00:19:32.000 And they're like, we don't like you saying that.

00:19:34.000 And so we actually had to change.

00:19:37.000 The earliest clips that we did from campus, they didn't like that.

00:19:42.000 And now it's great.

00:19:43.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:19:44.000 Now it's just, it's sucks. 0.93

00:19:45.000 So let's play this you can parody it. 0.90

00:19:47.000 Yeah.

00:19:49.000 All right.

00:19:49.000 Let's play the next one.

00:19:50.000 And Jack, I want you to react to it.

00:19:52.000 The next one is, make sure I get three cuts here correctly.

00:19:56.000 It is 403, where it gets a little bit like kind of whatever, but elements of it are hilarious.

00:20:03.000 Parts of it are very funny.

00:20:05.000 Play cut 403.

00:20:06.000 Watch as Eric Cartman shuts down these woke liberal students.

00:20:09.000 Oh my God, what makes you think you have the right to say what I do with my body?

00:20:14.000 Let me ask you something.

00:20:15.000 If a pregnant woman is killed and the baby dies, too, why is the killer charged with a double habitat? 0.56

00:20:19.000 Well, because people have different beliefs.

00:20:22.000 It's not about belief.

00:20:23.000 It's about truth.

00:20:24.000 Science confirms life begins at conception.

00:20:25.000 So yes, Jeremiah 1.5 says, before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, but it's just morality that demands we protect the most vulnerable.

00:20:30.000 So let me ask you, when do you think life begins?

00:20:34.000 Eric, are you all right in there?

00:20:36.000 Yeah, I'm fine, mom.

00:20:36.000 I'm just in here master debating.

00:20:39.000 Look, Eric, that's enough.

00:20:40.000 Let's get out of the bathroom.

00:20:42.000 I can't, mom. 0.97

00:20:43.000 I'm master debating to these young college girls.

00:20:45.000 That's very naughty, Eric.

00:20:47.000 Stop it.

00:20:47.000 Mom, I finally got sponsored by a protein powder, so I got to master debate for a couple more hours.

00:20:51.000 Leviticus 9-1-2-8.

00:20:52.000 Let me alone.

00:20:55.000 Yeah.

00:20:56.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:20:56.000 Yeah, but a body growing inside a woman's body is not her body. 1.00

00:20:59.000 It's a completely separate group.

00:21:02.000 Eric, what are you doing?

00:21:05.000 I'm sorry, mom.

00:21:06.000 You told me to go to sleep, but I started master debating again.

00:21:09.000 This is really getting to be a problem, Eric.

00:21:11.000 Mom, you don't understand.

00:21:13.000 I'm getting really good at this.

00:21:14.000 I have my arguments down rock solids. 1.00

00:21:16.000 These young college girls are totally unprepared, so I can just destroy them and also edit out all the ones that actually argue back well. 0.99

00:21:21.000 It just feels so good.

00:21:22.000 I understand it feels good, but that doesn't mean you do it all the time.

00:21:27.000 I'm sorry, mommy. 1.00

00:21:28.000 Put the computer away and leave those poor college girls alone. 1.00

00:21:32.000 Okay, I won't master debate anymore, Tonet. 1.00

00:21:36.000 Look, look, you can call it reproductive rights, but be honest, if the baby could speak, it would fight for its right to live.

00:21:41.000 Eric Cartman!

00:21:42.000 I'm sorry, ma'am.

00:21:44.000 My favorite part in all of that is they.

00:21:46.000 I wonder if they literally just type the right lines because they're good arguments.

00:21:50.000 Like, they don't have him making a draw man argument.

00:21:52.000 They got the verses right.

00:21:54.000 The Leviticus one, I'm not sure.

00:21:56.000 Jeremiah, what Jeremiah 1-5, before I formed you in the wound, I knew you before you were born.

00:22:00.000 I consecrated you.

00:22:01.000 I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.

00:22:03.000 It's like they got the verse right.

00:22:05.000 Oh, my goodness.

00:22:07.000 Jack, Jack, you're waiting patiently internationally.

00:22:09.000 I want to make sure, Jack, you get some time to riff here.

00:22:12.000 Jack, what is your reaction to this broadly?

00:22:14.000 And then more specifically.

00:22:15.000 Yeah, no.

00:22:16.000 So, yeah, I'm in Poland right now.

00:22:17.000 We had the inauguration, big W. 0.92

00:22:19.000 And what's interesting here to me is the meta narrative that they're playing into here, where they're talking about how, you know, people, of course, know what the joke is, master debater.

00:22:32.000 What's Cartman doing in the bathroom?

00:22:34.000 What's Cartman doing late at night on the laptop?

00:22:37.000 But the meta narrative here is that online politics and debate and engaging in this type of thing has become so big across the internet.

00:22:49.000 Whether you're on the left or you're on the right, you know, Charlie makes a video and then someone attacks Charlie and Corey Booker shares that video.

00:22:57.000 That was something that just happened earlier this week.

00:23:00.000 And that's bleeding over into the discourse.

00:23:02.000 And so now you're seeing people do that from both sides of the aisle.

00:23:07.000 And so it's like that's become the new national pastime, sort of these TikTok debates and stitches and going back and forth, even more so.

00:23:16.000 And of course, they're playing, you know, they're playing with it in a funny way, but they're saying that it's become so addictive that it's even more addictive than other, you know, online behaviors that had been in the past for Eric Cartman to the point where his mom's got to go in and get it.

00:23:30.000 And I think what they're getting at here is that that is what's drawing so many more and more people to interact in these ways online.

00:23:39.000 And it's a totally new kind of behavior that's even gone.

00:23:42.000 So yeah, of course, they get into the campus stuff, but even beyond that, it's a whole online culture now, too.

00:23:49.000 Andrew, do you want to chime in?

00:23:52.000 I love what Jack is saying.

00:23:53.000 And to your point, Charlie, because Jack is chiming in from abroad and making time for this.

00:24:00.000 I wanted, you know, I was talking about that moment from Cal Poly where they just spontaneously started singing the national anthem.

00:24:08.000 And that was a real moment.

00:24:10.000 It was a real moment where we realized this momentum was growing.

00:24:13.000 And so, like, let's just keep putting out, you know, tense in the middle of the quad.

00:24:19.000 Jack was there and had your back, Charlie, for one of the most viral clips of the fall run-up to the election.

00:24:27.000 And that was at Penn State.

00:24:30.000 And Charlie, you lost your voice.

00:24:32.000 I'll never forget you tried to interview Megan Kelly on the Charlie Kirk show, and you couldn't talk because your voice was gone.

00:24:38.000 And the way this whole event worked out was just everybody saw this sea of red hats.

00:24:44.000 And Jack was there to have your back because you couldn't talk.

00:24:47.000 Jack flew in, got there for you.

00:24:51.000 You literally could not talk.

00:24:52.000 So let's go.

00:24:53.000 This is an homage to you and Jack and the role that you both played in the run-up to the election 410.

00:25:18.000 So a little hat tip, a MAGA hat tip to both of you on that one.

00:25:23.000 Yeah, that was wild.

00:25:24.000 I mean, thank you.

00:25:25.000 I remember Penn State and really just any, you know, I was a college Republican guy in the past.

00:25:29.000 You know, when I was coming up, we didn't have Turning Point USA.

00:25:33.000 And to think that you would see a campus crowd like that at any Pennsylvania college, let alone Penn State in an election year key race, which obviously went on to be very, very successful.

00:25:46.000 Pennsylvania was a state that put us over the top in 2024.

00:25:50.000 I would say it was that event being there with Charlie, seeing the response.

00:25:55.000 That was when I knew I said, guys, we're going to win Pennsylvania.

00:25:58.000 Well, we almost won Center County where Penn State is based.

00:26:01.000 And that event is a big movement for it.

00:26:04.000 It's a control county, like that in that part of the country or that part of the state.

00:26:08.000 So like that is not a state that's ever competitive.

00:26:11.000 I would always tell people, like, don't waste your time in Center County.

00:26:13.000 Like, go, you know, go blow out like Lancaster and York County and like, you know, Amish Country, all these areas. 0.99

00:26:19.000 And then, of course, the Southwest with the Trump vote.

00:26:22.000 And suddenly Charlie Kirk is putting Center County in play.

00:26:25.000 All right.

00:26:26.000 I want to play the last and remaining and probably the biggest.

00:26:28.000 So I was told going in by Brian, my South Park Sherpa, and by many other people that if they say your name, that's a big deal in South Park World.

00:26:38.000 Would you guys all agree with that?

00:26:39.000 It's one thing to have him kind of play you and kind of do the theme.

00:26:43.000 It's a whole different threshold if they say the name because that's a rare, I don't even think they said Glenn Beck's name.

00:26:50.000 Maybe they did.

00:26:51.000 Maybe they didn't.

00:26:52.000 I'm not trying to compare.

00:26:53.000 I'm just saying that it had not.

00:26:55.000 Yeah.

00:26:56.000 And so the name is not always said.

00:26:57.000 So that's what I was told going in.

00:26:58.000 I was like, okay, great.

00:26:59.000 I haven't watched the show in quite some time.

00:27:02.000 And then this hilarious.

00:27:04.000 I think this is the funniest of all of them.

00:27:06.000 The exchange is hilarious.

00:27:08.000 Play cut 404.

00:27:10.000 Hello and welcome to the third annual Charlie Kirk Award for Young Master Debaters.

00:27:18.000 More and more young people today are learning to fight for America through master debation.

00:27:23.000 We're here to honor the recent efforts of a brave young man who has been furiously master debating for the past several days and has won himself not only this trophy, but also an all-expenses paid vacation to a beautiful five-star resort.

00:27:41.000 He has proven himself the true champion.

00:27:44.000 Please welcome the best young master debater of our time, Clyde Donovan.

00:27:50.000 Clive!

00:27:55.000 No!

00:27:55.000 Thank my drink to that darling!

00:27:57.000 Come on, Eric, let's go!

00:28:00.000 Thanks, everyone. 1.00

00:28:01.000 The Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, and I don't know, lesbians are an abomination of God. 1.00

00:28:07.000 You all stole my shtick! 1.00

00:28:09.000 Yes!

00:28:14.000 Sorry, you should have just cut it right there. 1.00

00:28:17.000 Rights Act was a huge mistake, and the lesbians are an abomination of God. 1.00

00:28:20.000 It's like when you go 10 to 15%, a little bit beyond. 1.00

00:28:25.000 And credit to the writers.

00:28:27.000 They know my stuff.

00:28:28.000 Like, I've kind of been known for saying the Civil Rights Act was a mistake, and they just push it a little bit more.

00:28:34.000 And honestly, I was like, credit to you guys.

00:28:37.000 I think that's absolutely hilarious.

00:28:40.000 We have a minute here.

00:28:42.000 Blake, do you want to riff on that?

00:28:43.000 Super.

00:28:44.000 Let's put up, I think it's 408.

00:28:46.000 I want the little, the image they have.

00:28:48.000 It's hard to see in the clip we have.

00:28:49.000 They have the little Charlie Kirk award, which is a case there.

00:28:53.000 We're definitely making it.

00:28:54.000 We're going to make that.

00:28:55.000 We're producing this.

00:28:58.000 We should start giving them out at CLS.

00:29:00.000 Every person that comes into the office, we should just give one to.

00:29:04.000 You leave with a Charlie Kirk award.

00:29:06.000 We're going to have a whole poster of Cartman Charlie Kirk.

00:29:10.000 That is going to happen.

00:29:11.000 No doubt.

00:29:14.000 It's hard to believe it was even possible, but the Democrat-run states are now more pro-abortion than ever and will only get worse unless you join me standing for life. 0.64

00:29:23.000 This is Charlie Kirk, and we're saving babies right now with Pre-Born.

00:29:27.000 Ultrasounds save lives.

00:29:29.000 That's why Pre-Born gives free ultrasounds to girls and women. 0.99

00:29:32.000 It's the truth they truly deserve and it doubles the chance that she'll choose life. 0.97

00:29:36.000 $140 gives five mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies.

00:29:40.000 $280 can save 10 babies and just $28 a month can save a baby a month for less than a dollar a day.

00:29:47.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide an ultrasound machine that will save lives for years to come.

00:29:52.000 Ultrasounds save lives.

00:29:54.000 It's the truth they truly deserve and it doubles the chance that she'll choose life.

00:29:58.000 Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, that opportunity is just a phone call or click away.

00:30:08.000 That's 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:30:16.000 Blake and Tyler, and then I want to make sure Jack chimes in because Jack is in a unusual time zone right now.

00:30:21.000 Do you think this plot is to be continued?

00:30:23.000 And please, just someone also just make the case.

00:30:25.000 How big is this for an older American that doesn't watch South Park?

00:30:29.000 They don't care.

00:30:29.000 They say, why are you guys spending an hour on this?

00:30:31.000 Can you give, like, Blake, can you give an equivalent?

00:30:33.000 This is the equivalent of going on like the tonight show or going on, can you give like some sort of an equivalent?

00:30:39.000 Do you know what I mean?

00:30:40.000 Well, for someone that says, I don't get it.

00:30:42.000 I'll say this, Charlie, too.

00:30:44.000 South Park, I think, debuted when I was in elementary school.

00:30:48.000 So for the entire lifetime, and it was kind of for older siblings.

00:30:53.000 Every animated show that debuted in like the 90s just never ended.

00:30:56.000 Like, I think Family Guy's still going.

00:30:57.000 South Park's still going.

00:30:58.000 The Simpsons are still going.

00:31:00.000 It was the end of the 90s.

00:31:02.000 I can't remember exactly when it was, but I remember older siblings being like, if you're cool, you watch South Park as an older kid.

00:31:09.000 And like, it's just stuck with millennials through our entire.

00:31:13.000 And I think that's what's kept it alive.

00:31:14.000 It's reinvented itself several times.

00:31:16.000 So you're at the point where it's probably the most culturally relevant animated show, at least in related to politics topics.

00:31:24.000 Edgy.

00:31:25.000 And has, yeah, and it's slightly edgy and has been for over 20 years at this point.

00:31:29.000 For millennials in particular.

00:31:31.000 But Gen Z watches.

00:31:33.000 Yeah, because it's like, it's the little brother thing.

00:31:35.000 Again, it's like just cool because it's just been around and it's funny.

00:31:38.000 It's edgy.

00:31:39.000 And it's, you know, it's, it's what's kept Comedy Central alive, quite frankly, in a lot of, in a lot of respects.

00:31:45.000 So I, I mean, it, this is just such a big deal.

00:31:48.000 Like, that's why when it happened, when we saw it happen, our entire chat blew up.

00:31:54.000 And it's like, most of us are millennials, right?

00:31:56.000 And we're just like, Charlie, you have to recognize this is so cool.

00:32:02.000 And that was my, my theory was they were going to revere Charlie because the young men who watch the show love Charlie.

00:32:10.000 And so that was my theory was that they weren't going to sabotage Charlie Kirk in the show.

00:32:16.000 And they played by Tyler.

00:32:19.000 I have a data point on this.

00:32:21.000 I got more congratulation texts than when we won the election in November.

00:32:29.000 I got more.

00:32:30.000 Oh my gosh, this is so cool.

00:32:32.000 Congratulations.

00:32:33.000 Charlie must be over the moon, whatever.

00:32:36.000 When the South Park trailer came out for this episode, than when we won the election.

00:32:40.000 That's how big of a deal it was.

00:32:42.000 Jack, all right.

00:32:43.000 Jack, Jack, close us out strong remotely.

00:32:46.000 Thank you for taking the time, Jack.

00:32:47.000 Yeah, I mean, look, we're talking around it.

00:32:49.000 You know, for Gen Y millennials, this is the Seinfeld, right? 0.93

00:32:53.000 This is like being a celebrity guest appearance on Seinfeld as big as Seinfeld was in the 90s going in.

00:33:01.000 Really, Seinfeld ended right around the time that South Park started.

00:33:04.000 So it kind of makes sense that a lot of that irreverence would go into the new series.

00:33:10.000 I was a South Park guy.

00:33:12.000 I think for like the first 20 years of the show, I watched every single episode, like the week it came out.

00:33:17.000 It was appointment viewing back when appointment viewing was a thing.

00:33:20.000 So the fact that like I know a guy who is like featured on the show, it's just, it's very meta.

00:33:27.000 It's very meta.

00:33:28.000 Hey, Jack, I have to do two things before we close out.

00:33:31.000 And first of all, I want to give kudos to Michael.

00:33:35.000 He's one of our technical producers.

00:33:36.000 He actually did a custom turning point drawing 411.

00:33:40.000 Throw it up.
