In this episode of Thursday Thought Crime, the crew discusses Thanksgiving, college football, time zones, and much more. Charlie Kirk is the President of Turning Point USA, the largest pro-American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:56.000The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:03:51.000We had the Somali fraud story really bubbling up.
00:03:53.000The Trump administration announcing huge changes to immigration.
00:03:56.000We have this escalation of the whole seditious six issue and possible regime change in Venezuela.
00:04:05.000And if you take all of those things, I don't think any of them were the biggest story for most Americans.
00:04:10.000The biggest story for if you're a normal, red-blooded, probably Trump voting American in the middle of the country, the biggest story of the weekend is that a college football coach went to a different college.
00:04:21.000And we're talking, of course, about Lane Kiffin.
00:04:23.000He's the highly successful coach of the Ole Miss Rebels.
00:04:27.000He coached them all the way to the playoff this year.
00:04:30.000I think it's one of their best results ever.
00:04:32.000And if they get a title, I think it'd be, have they ever won a title before?
00:05:47.000He was, like, college football, that was his thing.
00:05:50.000Loved the Ducks and loved talking sports.
00:05:53.000Like, he used to tell me, by the way, that if he could do one thing on top of the show, that it would be to have just like a sports podcast.
00:05:59.000And then we would talk sports and people would get like, we'd get emails in the freedom of charliekirk.com and they would be like, this isn't a sports podcast.
00:07:38.000Yes, Bobby Petrino, he skipped town on the Atlanta Falcons after Michael Vick got arrested for dogfighting, and that team was clearly cooked.
00:07:47.000And I think he said he was sticking around and then just kidding, and he bailed.
00:07:51.000So we actually have a long history of coaches jumping from one role to another.
00:07:56.000And certainly in college football, a very successful coach at a smaller program is routinely promoted up to a bigger one.
00:08:05.000So we've had guys who are in Division II go Division I. We've had those coaches at the FCS level rise up to the bowl level.
00:08:13.000But I think this one stands out the most actually because it still is another competitive program.
00:08:20.000It's one that has some pride and some history.
00:08:23.000And you just have this purely mercenary angle to it of I have decided this program is just slightly cooler and slightly better.
00:08:32.000And I'm just going to take, I'm going to take the money and I'm going to take the status and bolt to it.
00:08:36.000But you probably follow this the most, Danny.
00:09:28.000Oh, I was just going to say, I was really interested to watch on X, like, how LSU fans reacted to this because it tells you a lot about LSU fans because all of them were like really excited about it.
00:09:43.000And like, I mean, that's such a dirty way to have that, this all go down, this whole thing.
00:09:50.000And his, and his statement, did we, but did we throw up his statement?
00:10:15.000Well, if they go, if they go and win, right?
00:10:19.000Because they have a good team, which they're not going to.
00:10:23.000They're not going to win a national championship.
00:10:25.000But if they do make it, there's going to be all these questions surrounding coaching.
00:10:32.000And they probably need a better situation coach-wise than what they're going to be dealt with for the remainder of the season.
00:10:41.000They're not going to make it to the national championship.
00:10:43.000But let's imagine they make it to the national championship in their best case scenario and they lose, which is probably the best case scenario.
00:10:50.000Like this is going to live in infamy forever.
00:10:53.000Even if they get knocked out in the first game in the playoff, like Lane Kiffin's going to become like the most hated man like south of the Mason Dixon line.
00:12:27.000He said, After a lot of prayer and time spent with family, I made the difficult decision to accept the head coaching position at LSU.
00:12:33.000I was hoping to complete a historic six-season run with this year's team by leading old Miss through the playoffs, capitalizing on the team's incredible success and their commitment to finish strong and investing everything into a playoff run with guardrails in place to protect the program in any areas of concern.
00:12:49.000My request to do so was denied by Keith Carter.
00:12:52.000Oh, he's making an enemy out of somebody here.
00:12:54.000Despite the team also asking him to allow me to keep coaching them so they could better maintain their high-level performance.
00:12:59.000Unfortunately, that means Friday's Egg Bowl was my last game coaching the Rebels.
00:13:03.000While I'm looking forward to a new start with a unique opportunity at LSU, I will forever cherish the incredible six years I spent with Ole Miss and will be rooting hard for the team to complete their mission and bring a championship to Oscar.
00:13:14.000A great part of this, a great part of this is the players have already come out to say that it's total BS when he says the team wanted him to keep coaching.
00:13:21.000Bryson Sanders said he has this quote, despite the team asking me to keep coaching, I think everyone that was in the room would disagree.
00:13:28.000And then another guy here, Sun Tarine Perkins, they have new names every year in this thing.
00:13:37.000He says, that was not the message you said in the meeting room.
00:13:40.000Everyone that was there can vouch on this.
00:13:43.000So we already have the players calling Lane Kiffen a liar.
00:13:48.000What's funny to me as a guy who's more into the NFL, though, is just so he seems villainous that he basically just bolted to go take what he thought was a better deal at LSU and didn't stick around.
00:14:00.000But isn't that basically the highest value of college football at this point?
00:14:05.000Every single college player, you can get paid now.
00:16:46.000By the way, real quick, Cade Kaufman, regular, regular commenter, regular don, he donated two bucks and he says, my grandpa is a massive ole miss fan, and he was not happy.
00:16:57.000That is to say the least, it seems the state of Mississippi, they are, well, they're called the Rebels.
00:17:21.000If you look, Florida State still has the guy in the red face paint riding horse with the seminal with the spear on fire and they throw it into the midfield.
00:17:32.000It was just, I was, I was going to throw out a quasi-square word, but that's not Charlie's mode, which is super cool, which is actually really a great thing.
00:17:42.000And like, you know, what's so funny about this is you're celebrating warrior culture for Native Americans, and somehow that became a bad thing.
00:17:49.000Anyways, but the point is that I think it's fascinating that, you know, the Rebels get to celebrate, you know, sparking a civil war and nobody's like, nobody even blinks about the name.
00:17:59.000I'm not in favor of getting rid of that.
00:18:05.000Yeah, no, it's actually one of the reasons I would say this was pointed out by Scott Greer in an essay where he was talking about the messy state of college football.
00:18:14.000He pointed out, so this is a good example of how college football has actually been corroded and corrupted over time.
00:18:21.000That so this team, people, let's be frank, they used to wave Confederate flags at Ole Miss's Stadium all the time, and they used to have the Confederate flag in the Mississippi state flag, but they banned them.
00:19:27.000But they killed it, and they're not bringing it back.
00:19:29.000And the state, you know, the university played a key role in them changing the state flag.
00:19:34.000They basically said, we need to change the state flag to get better recruits and get in more national football games.
00:19:41.000So it really is everyone wants to celebrate the rivalries.
00:19:45.000They want to celebrate the traditions in college football, but it seems like all of those traditions get thrown out pretty quickly when there's slightly more money to be made for your program.
00:20:24.000Well, one of the reasons that Lane Kiffen, like this problem is that he wasn't allowed to keep coaching is because the school didn't want him to keep poaching his players to bring them to LSU.
00:20:35.000So they basically said you're done coaching because they didn't want him around the program to take basically half the oldness team with him to LSU.
00:20:43.000So in that sense, I mean, the transfer portal has ruined some of college football in terms of roster management, but the traditions of rivalries, I think, are still there.
00:21:32.000This is why we have the 12-team college playoff.
00:21:35.000This is the root of every new change and every disruption in college football.
00:21:40.000And the schools, they realize that this is a huge moneymaker.
00:21:43.000So the ones that have are trying to make sure that they get in with the ones that have a lot more so that they can't continue making more money.
00:23:40.000And while we wait for, I think Jack is going to join us.
00:23:44.000We do have another Rumble rant, and I want to respond to it.
00:23:48.000I think hopefully one of us can answer this.
00:23:50.000This is from Kyrie McAllen, who says, Hey, guys, what are the odds someone on the waiting list for Amfest will still get word a spot has opened because if there's no longer hope, I need to cancel my Airbnb.
00:24:02.000Tyler or Andrew, do you guys know the status on waitlist stuff?
00:24:13.000Yeah, I think it's just the events email, events at tpsa.com.
00:24:18.000I feel really sad because I know one of our people mentioned last week they had a ticket that they wanted to donate, I believe, because they couldn't make it.
00:24:29.000But I guess that wasn't a possible change that we could make at this late stage of the game.
00:24:34.000It's too bad, but it's difficult because I know tickets are tied to individual people, and they don't want to get that all messed up.
00:24:43.000But thank you, regardless, Kyrie, for being a supporter.
00:24:47.000Yeah, I'm asking the events team right now, and one of them is writing back.
00:25:50.000The events team is going huge and it's going to keep escalating.
00:25:54.000We're going to use the way we'll have our speaker announcements for two years in advance so you will know who the biggest celebrities will be on the right two years from now.
00:26:03.000It'll be like a time portal into the future.
00:26:05.000We have some people responding to the college football topic.
00:26:08.000I liked Unashamed Girl for Him says, I hated that they added the money aspect to college.
00:26:15.000College was way, college football was way better before that.
00:26:18.000They should be playing for the love of the game, not of money.
00:27:09.000And that's always been one of my problems with college football as an idea is it's over time, it's turned our colleges into mockeries of what they're intended to be.
00:27:19.000A lot of these are state-funded, taxpayer-funded institutions.
00:27:49.000If he doesn't pass muster with this to academics, I believe it still is the rule, but the deal is that they have, okay, if the rule is that you have to pass your grades, but there's so much writing on this.
00:28:02.000Well, we can't allow those grades to get into the way.
00:28:05.000And so that's why they have those systems where, okay, here's special classes you can take.
00:28:09.000We're going to make sure wink, wink, nudge, nudge, they're not too difficult.
00:28:13.000Here's some special tutors, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
00:28:15.000They might really, really help you with your academic work.
00:28:22.000I remember for college basketball, there was a school, I think it was Danny's beloved Ohio State, but I might misremember, where basketball players could take basketball as a class for credit.
00:28:32.000And I believe you could take it multiple times.
00:28:35.000Infamously, the instructor for this class, they had a quiz where it included the question, how many points is a three-point basket worth?
00:28:46.000There are players who do make the most of the college opportunities they get from going there for free.
00:28:52.000But the temptation is always going to be towards diluting it, towards making it meaningless, towards just maximizing the money-making aspect of it.
00:29:00.000And I don't have a problem with that in pro sports.
00:29:04.000I think it's weird that we do this with our taxpayer-funded institutions.
00:29:08.000So academic eligibility is still required to compete in college sports to maintain their NIL opportunity.
00:29:17.000So it's actually tied to their paycheck.
00:29:20.000So they have to complete a specific number of NCAA approved core courses, and they must maintain a minimum GPA for Division I athletes of 2.3.
00:29:31.000And they must be making reasonable progress to award a degree each semester, typically measured by completing a certain number of credits.
00:29:39.000So that is, so they have a credit requirement, they have a GPA requirement, and it's tied to their NIL opportunities.
00:29:49.000A new Hillsdale College miniseries on colonial America offers a fresh way to think about Thanksgiving.
00:29:56.000Beyond the food and the political debates, it reminds us what we should be truly thankful for: our freedom, our prosperity, and our faith.

00:30:51.000All right, we're still waiting on Jack.
00:30:53.000So how about we jump into, because I don't think Jack had a funny take on this, but we have Spotify does this annual wrap-up or Spotify wraps, they call it.
00:31:05.000And I know both of you two have you looked at yours and you have what your most listened to music is, and we're going to force you to reveal it.
00:31:17.000Tyler, I think yours is less embarrassing than mine.
00:34:13.000We set the balance into the back, into the back seats, so that we don't have to, so we can actually have a conversation among adults, and they can listen to their podcast.
00:42:50.000And I was actually, I thought that Jack didn't go hard enough on this.
00:42:54.000Well, so let's explain what we're talking about.
00:42:56.000So for people who might just be listening, also hi, or people who, you know, don't, you have no idea what we're talking about, like Blake, for example.
00:43:05.000So this is season five of the TV show, Netflix show, Stranger Things, has just come out.
00:43:27.000So it's got a lot of allusions back to old 1980s, you know, movies and growing up like that.
00:43:34.000And so similar to what Andrew was just saying about how youth brands and youth bands could have a second life, it's sort of like that same thing where it's, you know, this is a way for a lot of Gen Xers and, you know, elder millennials, Gen Wires to be able to sort of share the 80s with their kids.
00:43:51.000And they've gone and they've been making the show gayer and gayer as the seasons go on.
00:43:57.000And in this scene, this is the, so this is a flashback, what you're actually watching back to season one.
00:44:03.000So what you're seeing here is them reestablishing something or what they'd say, revealing something that actually happened in season one that they're only showing you now for the first time.
00:44:14.000And I watched this scene and you're seeing the big bad right there of the whole series.
00:44:22.000And what gay Darth Vader is doing, also known as Vecna, is he is metaphorically, you know, it looks like he is physically violating this young boy.
00:44:34.000We'll call him Gay Luke Skywalker with his tentacle.
00:44:37.000And he is shoving his tentacle down gay Luke Skywalker's mouth and shooting his dark effluvia down the boy's throat.
00:44:55.000And at which point, gay Darth Vader then starts stroking the boy's face and his sort of neck also, his head also goes back in a form of pleasure.
00:45:09.000This was actually released prior to the season itself.
00:45:12.000And I said, guys, this is very clearly representative of a gay rape scene.
00:45:19.000And that's crazy that nobody is calling out Netflix for this, number one, for filming and putting something like this in, again, this is their Keystone show.
00:47:23.000That is amac.us forward slash Charlie today.
00:47:31.000So, Jack, did you say, did you describe it?
00:47:33.000You said it was text, a textbook gay rape scene?
00:47:37.000Representative, like representative of pedophile, you know, behavior.
00:47:41.000And by the way, so there was a actually a professor from the University of Chicago sort of responded to my, I wrote an op-ed about this over the Thanksgiving break and sort of responded to my piece and said, and said, yes, that's true.
00:47:55.000However, if you watch the rest, and the rest of the season kind of gets into this, where this character's name is Vecna, but I call him Gay Darth Vader, where Gaydarth Vader is then targeting other children, but he does so in a guise called Mr. What's It.
00:48:09.000And her point was, well, perhaps you could read it as a warning of grooming behavior.
00:48:17.000And while that's all, you know, well and good, I just think this scene itself in a TV series, which has been marketed very largely towards children, is just inappropriate.
00:49:14.000A lot of families watch the show, yes.
00:49:15.000A lot of family watch together, like, especially with like teenagers and stuff like that.
00:49:19.000And like, a little bit, like, my kids are kind of in the perfect.
00:49:22.000My, my two older kids are kind of in the perfect.
00:49:24.000My, no, I feel like nine, 10, 11, 12-year-olds are like, this is kind of like a really cool show to like that age group.
00:49:32.000Because it's just, it's, it's not really scary, but it's scary enough.
00:49:36.000And it's, you know, it's just kind of an interesting, you know, like Jack said.
00:49:40.000We've been asked, we've been asked, people are asking us to cut the video out because it's too disturbing to them.
00:49:45.000So I guess they're, they're definitely a great idea.
00:49:46.000Yeah, no, I mean, you can just, you could just show us, you can just show us still.
00:49:50.000But actually, what we could also show, which is separately from the video, which, and by the way, that's my entire point because the people who were like hating on me, and this, this went viral.
00:50:00.000This, we got written up in international, you know, media over this.
00:50:05.000And I had all these, these, I call them the stranger simps.
00:50:07.000All the stranger simps were coming at me saying, oh, no, it's just, you know, it's just like the scene in Alien.
00:50:25.000And they're called the facehuggers in Alien are meant to represent male rape because it's sort of this creature that grabs onto your face, injects its sperm spore, whatever into your body.
00:50:40.000Then they become pregnant and then the pregnancy kills you.
00:50:43.000So it was written and the writers of the original Alien movie have come out and said this, that that's exactly what they intended.
00:50:49.000They were pro-abortion and they thought that if they could put this into the film, that it would make men perhaps more open to being pro-choice if they understood what it was like to be raped and then get pregnant.
00:51:01.000Again, go look at the actual writers of Alien.
00:51:22.000Throw up just some of this B-roll, 334.
00:51:25.000Just throw up 334 as B-roll while we're talking and some of this other stuff, because you can see in 334 and 339, 340, just scroll through those because there are numerous tie-ins to children's action figures, children's happy meals, children's toys where they are clearly marketing this show towards children.
00:51:49.000I think that last one was, that was just the Teenage Ninja Turtles.
00:51:58.000Yeah, no, but, you know, I think the point is, because I only watched season one, so I'm a little behind on Stranger Thing.
00:52:04.000I thought it was cool, love the synth music, retro, 80s, but it was like the kids were really, really young.
00:52:08.000It kind of had this, like, it was like a kid's, you were watching the world through these kids' eyes and being terrified at this stranger thing that was kind of creeping into their reality.
00:52:21.000And again, I could be misremembering, but it seemed completely appropriate for like a little slightly older children to watch.
00:52:29.000There was some like violence, but that's probably as much as season one was.
00:52:33.000Some adult themes, but it was like, it was basically you're following around these kids and their lived experience right around.
00:52:41.000But Andrew, but Andrew, the point is, is that this scene is meant, you know, it's a flashback to season one.
00:52:48.000So it's almost like the writer, so it's like Netflix came in basically, Woke Flix came in and was like, no, season one was too family friendly.
00:52:57.000So we want you to watch season one knowing that this is what actually happened right before season one, right?
00:53:02.000So the kid gets, or I guess Doring, because the kid gets Will, this is the name of his character, who's now gay Luke Skywalker.
00:54:07.000Well, so this, for me, for me, if people are like, why is Jack commenting on this stuff all of a sudden?
00:54:12.000It's kind of like, this is sort of return to form for me because my original Twitter account and I had a blog going back in like 2012 through 2016 was all about ripping on Game of Thrones.
00:54:26.000I did a blog called The Angry GOT Fan.
00:54:30.000And so that was our focus the entire time was basically attacking HBO for what they were doing with Game of Thrones.
00:54:38.000And so this is a little bit return to form because now I'm the Angry Stranger Things fan, I guess.
00:54:43.000Way before a Critical Drinker, by the way, way before a Critical Drinker.
00:55:38.000There's a new clip in the very last episode of this, you know, current, the current episode that have been released, where basically Will, the gay Luke Skywalker, and this is why I call him gay Luke Skywalker, because now he then talks to his lesbian friend, Robin, Rockin' Robin, and she tells him that it's okay to be gay and you should just embrace your gayness.
00:56:11.000And it was right then and there that I knew she was the one that with Tammy, I would finally be able to be myself, you know, all of myself.
00:56:20.000Because there was always this part of me that kind of scared me, you know?
00:56:25.000But I thought that if Tammy loved me, all of me, you know, I wouldn't be so scared anymore.
00:57:14.000What I was referring to is, and I see what's going on.
00:57:16.000Right after that, Will has this sequence where he decides to embrace himself and then he is able to exhibit, you know, basically like force-like powers the same way that Darth Vader does.
00:57:30.000So gay Darth Vader and gay Luke Skywalker both have these force powers now and are able to use them to fight each other.
00:57:52.000So, but what you said is interesting, Jack.
00:57:54.000You said that you said it as they have to, because she said it in that clip where I just had to embrace me.
00:58:00.000So you, and you were saying Will had to embrace himself and he gets these powers, but like, isn't that just some sort of like subliminal, subliminal license to be entirely narcissistic, to just be completely obsessed with self, to worship self, to yeah, that's okay.
00:58:18.000I'm just making sure that like it's that on the nose.
00:58:20.000No, it's it's that on the nose, the entire thing.
00:58:23.000And so he he gives in and they've been playing.
00:58:26.000And well, and I will tell you, by the way, that the and this is so the full season hasn't been released.
00:58:32.000So the sequence that they specifically mention, not just giving into self, but it shows him growing up with another boy and as they're very young.
00:58:46.000So this idea that they're trying to imply is that he's been romantically, sexually attracted to his best friend all along.
00:58:56.000And there's a theory that a lot of people have been talking about.
00:58:59.000Peruser Foz totally agrees, by the way.
00:59:02.000You should definitely get him on this episode.
00:59:05.000Where, you know, it almost seems like they're playing it out that he and the best friend boy are going to kiss or are going to have some kind of relationship or something like that.
00:59:16.000As if, so not only are they going back and recasting season one, it's like they're going back and recasting the entire show to be about child abuse, um, this weird pedophilic scene with uh gay Darth Vader, and and now just about embracing gayness.
00:59:32.000So it really goes back to like what a lot of people have been warning about Netflix and that movie cuties and a lot of things that Netflix does to just take stuff and then wokeify the heck out of it.
00:59:44.000Are we gonna get a scene, you think, in the season finale where maybe like the two boys will like make out with each other and then they'll go, like, maybe someday this racist country will have a first black president and he could make gay marriage legal?
00:59:59.000Yeah, literally, he'll be like that's literally gay marriage that doesn't make sense, and they'll say, like, we can make it make sense, yes, we can, and then it will fade out hope poster.
01:00:10.000That is not like yeah, they'll meet another boy who comes in to help them in the final battle, right?
01:01:33.000You know, it's so, but Jack, I just sorry to belabor the point, but are they saying that homosexuality is just self-narcissism?
01:01:44.000So I don't think so because I don't think they're that self-aware.
01:01:47.000I think they're, I think the general message is that being homosexual is good, that you should follow your heart, do whatever you feel like, your impulses are all that matters, your urges are all that matters, do whatever feels right and you be you.
01:02:06.000And this, you know, if you watch a lot of Netflix, we know that Netflix has a huge LGBTQ section.
01:02:12.000We know that they inject these storylines into property after property over and over again.
01:02:18.000And I think it's, I don't, I don't think it's, I don't think they're trying to be that on the nose.
01:02:24.000I think they literally think it's good writing, which it's not, Obviously, what I do find interesting though is I don't know if there might be in Blake.
01:02:33.000You might, you know, I'd like to get your take on this.
01:02:36.000It almost feels a little subversive, too, because again, they're showing that the child who was the first one to be abused by Vecna then later goes on to become gay.
01:02:53.000So it's like, it's like, is there some guy who's like in the background, like, who's actually like closetly, you know, closetly like conservative, who's like, what if we, what if we had Vecna abuse him and everyone just kind of went along with it, but he actually is like putting a subliminal message inside the, you know, underneath that, that overt message.
01:03:43.000But like, do we have stats on, you know, if you have a percentage of people that are, that are, that are self-described, like they were abused as a child that then so in the op-ed, I did research for this.
01:03:53.000I did, I did look this up, and there was a Vandergilt study from 2022 that said that found that hetero, or excuse me, homosexual adults reported instances of child abuse at a three to four times higher rate than the heterosexual population.
01:04:21.000And so they're trying to kind of like sneak it in, which obvious, because obviously it's totally at odds with everything that the characters are saying, you know, embrace yourself, just be yourself, whatever, whatever.
01:04:31.000But also, you know, it's like, it's kind of contradictory because we don't see him, you know, being like this before the abuse scene.
01:04:43.000Foz just dropped something in the chat that convinced me that this is really just like a the whole like Stranger Things five seasons or whatever is just like a gay sixth sense.
01:05:05.000I'm on with this really beautiful essay about her abortion that she got when she was really young and about how if she hadn't have had it, she wouldn't have become the person that she'd become and I wouldn't exist and how both of my parents' lives would have been totally derailed and she hadn't had access to safe and legal health care, fundamental health care.
01:05:23.000And I, of course, like wealthy people will always be able to get abortions.
01:05:28.000But so many people, because of this ruling this like week, will not only not be able to pursue their dreams, but actually lose their lives and be unsafe.
01:05:38.000Was she seated on that in like a dark?
01:05:58.000A lot of people on the abortion topic, what's clear is a very common normie sentiment on abortion is you're not killing a separate human being.
01:06:09.000It's just, I guess, you know, we have DND in Stranger Things I've heard, Dungeons and Dragons.
01:06:14.000They think it's just, if you get an abortion and then have a kid later, you just, you re-rolled their stats.
01:06:19.000You just, you rolled the dice for a different kid.
01:06:26.000From the like you really only killed someone, maybe if like you never have a kid at all, but otherwise, yeah, you're just re-rolling their stats.
01:06:35.000No, this is something where it and by the way, so there's another angle to all this as well.
01:06:41.000Do you guys know about the Warner Brothers deal?
01:06:52.000Yeah, so Warner Brothers Discovery is currently up for sale.
01:06:57.000And what's really interesting is that Warner Brothers Discovery is also the parent company of things like CNN, HBO, like all this stuff, right?
01:07:07.000And so one of the top bidders for this is Netflix.
01:07:12.000So they're coming in with like this Netflix, which is known for being one of the wokest, you know, organizations on the planet.
01:07:22.000One of the wokest things that they have is, you know, this is where, you know, where all of every, pretty much every show they get, they're either going to put something woke in there, they're going to make a lot of children's content, including gay characters, including LGBT characters.
01:07:39.000There was one, it was like a, is it about a couple, I remember a couple of months ago where it was like just two nights and they just started being gay all of a sudden for no reason.
01:07:49.000This is where one of the, this is where, of course, QDs came out, which was just a straight up pro-pedophilia movie based in France.
01:07:59.000And I believe, if I remember correctly, there was a writer, what was that show?
01:08:05.000Paranormal Park, I think, where they had trans characters.
01:08:09.000And I think the creator of it was actually attacking Charlie, like making fun of Charlie after he was killed, was another Netflix show.
01:08:16.000I forget exactly what he said, but it was, I remember that being another Netflix show with a trans character.
01:08:23.000And so imagine, if you will, right, how we would have to respond if Netflix all of a sudden got in charge of like the Looney Tunes at Warner Brothers, got in charge of like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
01:08:38.000And also, by the way, WB also owns like what else?
01:08:43.000So like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, who I believe they already made gay in Warner Brothers, The Flash, etc.
01:08:52.000Yeah, I'm not sold on this making a big difference.
01:08:55.000I mean, we already have an example of beloved characters getting taken over by a turbo gay company, and it's called the Disney Corporation.
01:09:03.000They've made a lot of stuff really gay.
01:09:37.000There's a whole new show where it's like it's got like an overarching plot, basically, you know, where they, you know, the character is kind of the storyline's like flowing.
01:10:14.000The other two companies are Comcast, which honestly, I'm obviously not a huge fan of since they run, excuse me, MythNow.
01:10:21.000And then Paramount, which is interesting because Paramount, of course, yeah, they have Paramount Plus and they have Yellowstone, which, of course, I've been quite outspoken on, but they did also just, you know, take over CBS News.
01:10:57.000Zuzu's Pedals points out Netflix got a lot gayer when Obama got on the board, presumably right after saving those kids in Indiana at the end of season five of Stranger Things.
01:11:10.000I canceled Netflix three months ago, and so should you.
01:11:35.000No, it's documentaries and feature films.
01:11:37.000They did the whole thing with Julia Roberts about like the, it was like, what was like an energy wave kind of thing, like crashes and, you know, everyone loses patents.
01:12:00.000But the Obamas, the Obamas are clearly deeply in bed with it.
01:12:04.000So how do they think we're going to react if the Obamas then take, like, imagine if the Obamas have a direct line to controlling CNN and controlling like everything the WB does.
01:12:17.000It's like, no, that's, I would go to war over that.
01:12:28.000And by the way, by the way, everybody, I remember all those conspiracy theories about how, you know, what did they know?
01:12:34.000Did they know something was going to happen?
01:12:37.000And then there was this scene where all the Teslas, which people thought was like an intentional dig at Elon Musk, because all the Teslas get taken over by some mysterious power or force or alien beings and they just start crashing all these Teslas.
01:12:55.000I'm telling you, this is absolutely the Obamas are trying to take over media.
01:13:01.000They are trying to take over a media empire.
01:13:04.000They've already done it with Netflix, which by the way, I'd love, because I think Stranger Things started like almost 10 years ago.
01:13:10.000So that was before the Obama partnership.
01:13:13.000So before Susan Rice was on the board, before they had the Obama partnership, he was still president when it started, or certainly when they were making the show.
01:13:21.000But now, right now, they're required to do all this extra stuff.
01:13:25.000So they even have to go back to season one and make it all gay.
01:13:29.000And in fact, actually, one thing that's really interesting, it just occurred to me as well.
01:13:33.000They've also caught Netflix stealth editing Stranger Things where they will, because it's a streaming service, right?
01:13:41.000So they'll go back and they've actually like slightly edited certain characters and certain storylines as the show is going.
01:13:49.000So if you go back and watch season one right now.
01:13:52.000Yeah, yeah, there was a whole scene where one character was kind of like a peeping tom of the character.
01:13:58.000Jonathan was peeping on Nancy and they like basically like re-edited the whole sequence so that he was just sort of like outside but didn't mean to be looking in or something.
01:14:08.000So when he had, there's the guy with the shutter camera.
01:14:14.000So if you go back in season one and look at it now to do a rewatch, it's like, it's like a slightly different, you know, a slightly different narrative.
01:14:51.000The issue, you know, the issue that I would also, this is why we talk about the Super Bowl so much and why we're doing this, the, the, put, the, uh, the, the sporting event halftime show later, uh, you know, later next year.
01:15:06.000And I would also add, you know, I'd also add that, you know, you, you have to know what you're up against because millions of people who make decisions in politics, who make decisions in media, who then go on to just just exist in the world, they are now all going to have this mental model.
01:15:27.000This will be the mental model that they are given.
01:15:29.000This is where most people get their stories from.
01:15:31.000That's where they get their beliefs from.
01:15:33.000It's where they get their history from.
01:15:45.000That's what, whether it's Game of Thrones 10 years ago or, gosh, almost 14 years ago when I started doing that to Netflix now, to Star Wars back when they were doing that and they were making everything crazy.
01:15:57.000Disney got really mad at me over the Star Wars thing.
01:15:59.000Actually, Ryan Johnson as well, who was the writer of the second Disney Star Wars movie, because I pointed out that in the Disney Star Wars films, all the heroes were this like diverse band of rebels and all of the villains were white men.
