00:01:17.000Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Thought Crime Thursday.
00:01:25.000It's been a wild couple of days, a busy couple of days around here.
00:01:31.000A lot of thought crimes have been happening, a lot of thought crimes have eaten up the nation, a lot of thought crimes that have been committed by Us as usual, but also by other people, and we're going to get into a lot of that.
00:03:02.000What's cool about the New York Times when they do it, I know they're annoying, but the New York Times has enough gravitas, enough prestige, they can get pretty serious people and they can get a lot of them to respond.
00:03:13.000About 500 television professionals to vote on what they think the best 100 TV shows of this basically of this century, so the past 26 years.
00:03:24.000And in the least surprising development ever, they said that number one was that's right, it's not The Sopranos because The Sopranos debuted in 1999, it doesn't qualify.
00:04:28.000It at all is probably pretty remarkable.
00:04:30.000Yeah, he didn't watch a ton of stuff, but I always thought it was really interesting how often he talked about how great this show was.
00:04:36.000Okay, well, for those, we haven't said it actually.
00:04:38.000The number one show, unsurprisingly, since it wasn't Sopranos, it was Breaking Bad, the chemistry teacher with lung cancer becomes meth dealer show set in Albuquerque, our kind of crummier version of Phoenix to the East.0.82
00:04:55.000No offense to Albuquerqueans, but it is true.0.96
00:06:17.000And I'm telling you, I've always wanted to watch it.
00:06:19.000So if you find it and you get access to it somehow into a box, I really want to watch it because people at the time, I think this was like 2017, 2018, people were raving about it.
00:09:41.000It's like an overly nice house in the suburbs of like pretty generic city, like always pisses me off.
00:09:49.000I love it when it's like, wow, that house kind of looks like a real house, and it's like in a city that's like not that's a real American city.
00:09:59.000So, can we guys just read the top 10 because I'm looking at the top 10 and there's numbers, there's there's Shows on here that I've never even heard of.
00:11:09.000So old, and it's like it's kind of made itself into pop culture that is just okay, but like current British television, yeah, like modern British television.
00:11:19.000I'll do, oh well, I'll throw a thought crime on you.
00:11:22.000I liked the UK office better than the American office.
00:11:25.000So, you know, what's really interesting, and again, you have to give the UK office credit because of this, it was the original.
00:11:31.000But did you know that, and you probably know this, Jack, but does everyone else know that every first episode of every office spinoff in every country?
00:11:42.000Is the exact same script as the original UK's first episode of The Office.
00:13:28.000I remember it's weird with our full staff.
00:13:30.000We were actually doing director's training.
00:13:31.000It was our first ever real director training for Turning Point USA.
00:13:35.000And we had rented a house in San Diego.
00:13:38.000And that happened to be the same weekend that the final, whatever the day was.
00:13:42.000I think it was a weekend because it must have been, maybe it was during the week, middle of the week, that the final, the finale for Game of Thrones was on.
00:13:50.000So we, everybody got together in the family room, watched it.
00:13:55.000And it was unanimously like anger, like animosity, like that everybody just like, All right, I'll go to bed.
00:14:03.000Everyone just went to sleep immediately afterwards.
00:14:14.000So I can explain that, by the way, as I'll just mention again, folks who don't know, I got my whole start on the internet, doing a Game of Thrones blog, and I called the Angry GOT fan and ran that thing.
00:14:28.000We had hundreds of thousands of viewers, clicks.
00:14:33.000Back in the blogosphere days, kind of like Gamergate, Nerdgate, kind of.
00:14:37.000Time frame, and so I was just like railing against the HBO show, but from the perspective of a guy who loved the books.
00:14:44.000And the reason that people hated the TV show ending so much is because they kind of used like a book style ending on a show that had stopped following the books for years, so it was a complete mismatch.
00:14:57.000But if you had read the books, you would know that Daenerys was obviously always evil, she was always like it was the backstory of the evil dragon queen, like how you become an evil dragon queen.
00:15:09.000She was always just like this crazy.1.00
00:15:14.000I can do whatever I want because I'm a girl and I can just kill people with impunity, which she does with like the when she goes to the Giskari and the slave traders and like just starts murdering people for no reason, who haven't even crossed her, by the way.1.00
00:15:30.000By the way, she kills her brother.0.97
00:15:31.000Like people seem to forget that about Daenerys.
00:16:55.000Write it down, set an alarm, because the second that date passes, there's no extension, no grace period, no second chance.
00:17:02.000Liens, wage garnishments, bank account seizures that's the IRS taking what you've earned.
00:17:08.000If you've filed an extension and haven't submitted your return yet, stop what you're doing and call America Tax Group, the nation's leading tax firm, right now.
00:17:21.000Mention the code KERC26 when you call for $250 off.
00:17:25.000Miss this deadline and failure to file penalties are assessed immediately with interest compounding daily, growing your debt every single hour.
00:17:33.000Every hour past October 15th hands the IRS more power over your life.
00:17:38.000So if you owe back taxes or haven't filed, understand this.
00:17:41.000It's not a matter of if the IRS will act, it's when, and that clock is ticking.
00:17:46.000Dealing with the IRS without professional help is extremely risky, so don't do it.
00:18:29.000I can see everyone making an argument for a lot of these.
00:18:32.000And of course, 30 Rock at number eight is really interesting.
00:18:36.000I've always really enjoyed that show, but people suck up on 30 Rock because of like, it's all the libs, like, just like, this is like that 30 Rock is like their, you know, I don't know.
00:18:46.000I will say every time I've watched 30 Rock, it's been funny.
00:19:47.000There are very few shows I've watched more than one season's worth of.
00:19:50.000And so I think it stands out that the three seasons of Arrested Development is one of the only ones I've actually watched every episode in a show.
00:19:57.000And then they released new episodes and those were terrible.
00:19:59.000So it became a show I haven't seen every episode.
00:20:22.000To me, Arrested Development, you could say The Office, too, was one of those.
00:20:26.000But Arrested Development was the last show that I can remember that was a TV show that had inside jokes that people still shared between friends that watched this stuff.
00:20:38.000Since then, I don't even know if I can really tell you a show, a comedy on TV that people quote regularly and people just know quotes inside jokes.
00:20:48.000Funny jokes from that, like you would with movies.
00:20:53.000Like, kids, like when I was in high school, and Jack will agree with this, when we were in high school, you used to nonstop quote movies, like nonstop.
00:21:03.000That was how you talked with people, was like basically just conversing with lines from movies.
00:21:11.000Kids today can't even quote one line from any movie they've seen in the last five years.
00:21:16.000That said, I have asked about this, and they will do the same thing.
00:21:23.000So apparently, if you're 13, it is still the funniest thing in the world to quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail to each other.
00:21:30.000But for our generation, it was like you could quote Zoolander, you could quote Old School, you could quote Anchorman, you could quote like there was like 10 Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell.
00:21:44.000They don't have like, I'm telling you, kids, teenage boys today can't even tell you a funny moment from a movie, much less they don't go around quoting lines.
00:21:53.000And it actually, to me, like I think about all the time, like, How does this impact American culture?
00:21:57.000Because American culture was a lot different when people are rolling around quoting movies.
00:22:01.000So, I mean, there's different, like, the me.
00:22:18.000That, like, shared meme culture does kind of exist, but it's outside of movies now because that sort of writing has left movies and movies aren't a shared culture anymore.
00:22:32.000You'll see this in just regular memes that people share and the way people talk.
00:22:38.000But you don't actually see it in movies anymore because the writing has gotten, number one, so bad.
00:22:43.000And then number two, and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon talked about this, that when they make movies now for streaming services, Netflix straight up told them that we know that the audience doesn't watch the movie as they're actually having it on because they're just sitting on their phones the whole time.
00:22:59.000So we just make sure that every 20 minutes or so.
00:23:02.000Someone explains the plot yet again to people, and then we just throw an action scene in so people keep watching.
00:23:09.000And so, the idea that you're going to have a well written show isn't going to be something that's marketable anymore.
00:23:18.000So, funny enough, Tanya and I just went back and watched because I've said before that so Tanya didn't grow up in the US, so she doesn't have that same background like we did, like you mentioned, the 90s, 2000s, where we had that shared culture of Will Ferrell movies.
00:23:33.000Before she met me, Tanya had never seen a Will Ferrell movie.
00:24:07.000Like over and over and over, just these quotable moments that.
00:24:11.000Again, like you don't find them in movies today.
00:24:14.000Plus, Ty, and Ty, I'd love to get your thought on this that I don't think people re watch movies as much anymore either in the era of streaming only.
00:24:22.000I think people like watch a movie and then they dispose of it.
00:24:26.000I don't think there's movies where people watch multiple times anymore.
00:24:29.000And that was a huge part of the culture.
00:24:31.000It was like you watch a movie, then you watch it again with your friends, then you're all at a party, put a movie on.1.00
00:24:46.000Have you seen the way they shoot the movies now?
00:24:48.000Clipping has ruined movies because now.
00:24:50.000Yeah, they shoot the movies with everything like centered so that you can clip it just like that.
00:24:55.000So they, so yeah, everything's like down the center.
00:24:57.000So they, they, they, they, so everything is directed towards clipping, which again proves your point of what you're saying is like TikTok has kind of killed trends and themes and all that stuff.
00:25:06.000But movies now, movies now, think about it.
00:25:09.000Think about how many movies don't get watched because the best parts are already clipped and they're on like TikTok.
00:25:16.000So it's actually killing the millivanage.0.99
00:25:18.000If the movie industry was really smart, they would get, they would like really be hardcore about this and like trying to eliminate it, but they're not because they don't want to look like jerks, probably.0.97
00:25:31.000And then after the fact, instead of going, think about it.
00:25:34.000If you wanted to go back and catch a line again, you had to go watch the movie again, memorize it to a T, go in the parking lot, reiterate it with your friends 50 times.
00:25:47.000I remember so many times, and I don't know if you did this, Jack, but like we would go watch a movie, like you said, be like, that was awesome.
00:25:53.000And we like, we have to go watch the movie again.
00:25:55.000We would go back and watch the movie again.
00:25:58.000I remember doing this with like Zoolander or something.
00:26:20.000Like, but again, that's not happening.
00:26:22.000So, that interpersonal communication part piece, this is the thing is like, okay, it's getting replaced, but now you're getting fed it from a third party source on the internet instead of repeating it with your friends or like punking a teacher with it or doing whatever.
00:27:20.000I mean, I would add, guys, that the only movies that perform like 2026 has been a comeback year for cinema.
00:27:27.000And there's been a ton of movies that have performed, but they have to be like unrealistic fantasy, sci fi, massive budget for like, you know, marketing it.
00:27:37.000It's like Project Hail Mary, Odyssey, Spider Man, Avengers, Doomsday.
00:27:43.000A lot of these have broken the billion dollar box office records, and they will.
00:28:12.000Because if you look at the top films in 99 or 2000, the top 10 movies of the year include stuff like The Perfect Storm, which is about fishermen getting into a storm and sinking.
00:28:22.000It has What Lies Beneath, which is this sort of horror drama thriller, Harrison Ford, but supernatural.
00:28:32.000Yeah, I think that was the year like What Women Want came out, something in that period.0.52
00:28:36.000And then you get into 2001, 2002, and suddenly it's Spider Man, X Men, Harry Potter.
00:28:43.000Everything is a big tent pole franchise film, lots of special effects, and that's kind of been what's run the day.
00:28:50.000And as you said, 2026 feels different in that we have random horror movies doing really well again, and hopefully that leads to some creativity.
00:28:58.000But on the TV thing, before we move on, wait, I feel like we should ask everyone what their number one show actually is, and is it even on the list?
00:29:08.000Can I add something to that just to what Mikey's saying?
00:29:11.000And it backs up in the last week, I watched the new Resident Evil movie twice, I thought it was phenomenal.
00:29:18.000It's doing really, really well at the box office.
00:30:37.000I want to say, I want to shout out one of our regulars who's not here today.
00:30:41.000Dylan, I'm sad you're not here because we're talking about TV and you could be touting all of your favorite animes, which I believe none of which are on the list.
00:32:25.000So it was basically, if you ran the numbers, about 2% of all internet traffic in the United States was people specifically watching episodes of The Office.
00:32:37.000And good for these people too, because some of those guys are making so much money still.
00:32:41.000Annually, yeah, from all the streaming, like all those actors, like, and they probably didn't at the time.
00:32:48.000I mean, they'll even tell you, you listen to them on the podcast and stuff like that.
00:32:51.000They tell you, like, how they thought they were gonna get fired, like, after and they were gonna get they were done after just a few episodes.
00:32:57.000Like, it's pretty, it's a pretty cool thing that they have made an entire career off of that.
00:33:02.000Okay, uh, MK Bren, by the way, asked if Charlie's favorite show would be Seinfeld, it wouldn't be on this list because it's not from this century, yes, but that was his overall favorite.
00:33:11.000I don't know what his favorite show was from this century.
00:35:31.000We need to, we need to like kind of sit down and figure out like the Charlie Kirk like favorites and stuff because it's just stuff that people didn't like.
00:35:39.000You obviously haven't talked about it like on campus or whatever, but it's just stuff that people need, you know, they should know.
00:35:43.000Um, so one of our favorites, House of Cards, obviously, like that, those first couple seasons too, like we repetitively nonstop talked about House of Cards with Charlie.0.95
00:36:07.000House of Cards screws it up because it's based on a British show.
00:36:10.000And in Britain, it actually makes sense for this mid powered backbencher, the House whip, to maneuver and destroy the people ahead of him in the party, become prime minister.
00:36:20.000It makes no sense to happen in America for the House whip to connive to bring down the vice president and then he makes himself vice president and then he takes out the president.
00:37:06.000Fun fact about House of Cards, as well as Veep, that if you watch an episode, I think it's season three of House of Cards, where he's the president and he's sending the troops off to like some valley on a peacekeeping mission, and he's sending these UN troops.
00:37:22.000If you go and look at the front row of those troops that are standing directly behind Kevin Spacey, like the very first guy in the Navy uniform is actually me.
00:37:39.000They filmed it when I was stationed at Navy Intelligence and they reached out to a bunch of guys in the military saying, hey, we want to find people for, you know, who can like take off, take leave and, you know, just film in as background.
00:37:54.000And I was like, I was like, yeah, that sounds cool.
00:37:56.000So a bunch of us took leave and we went and filmed with that one day.
00:37:59.000So yeah, got to work with the whole team on the show.
00:38:42.000I was really excited, and I'm really pleased to see that one of the highest shows is one that I absolutely love that hardly anybody talks about, and it doesn't get as much credit.
00:38:52.000But the fact that it's number 37 on this list is Battlestar Galactica, which I argue is like it's, I think it's that specific show, the 2004 Battlestar Galactica, is the best made sci fi show of all time.
00:39:12.000And it's a show that, even if you don't like sci fi, you can sit down and watch it and be like, This is a great show.
00:39:29.000And prescient because it talks about AI when we're living in a time where that's like, you know, one of the biggest topics that we're talking about.
00:43:40.000I think the most interesting thing on here is like where they put the reality TV shows or like long running shows that don't really fit in.
00:45:40.000And also, Caboose, if you like Knight of Seven Kingdoms that much, highly recommend the other short stories slash novellas by George R. Martin in that series, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight.
00:45:52.000We're getting TV versions of them soon.
00:45:55.000Well, the first, yeah, and the first one was almost one-to-one.
00:46:00.000So the guys who are adapting the Dunkin' Egg series are not the ones who made the Game of Thrones proper show.
00:46:09.000Apparently, we're also getting a Game Of Thrones.
00:46:10.000Prequel movie, I think, with Robert Pattinson playing Aegon the Conqueror, which like is like way back in the like 300 years ago of Westeros D history and and Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, is just great because it kind of like it pulls you out of the, you know, Civil War political aspect.
00:46:30.000There is there, you know there is a good amount of politics, but it's just sort of like a knight and his squire sort of going about the land and, you know, getting into hijinks, and it's really really cool, All right.0.91
00:47:25.000It seems like all the MTV shows were left off your list.
00:47:27.000Getting Kidney Stones is influential on your life.
00:47:29.000You wouldn't rank that as a top thing.
00:47:31.000No, Jack, was Punked really an influential show?
00:47:36.000More than some of these crappy shows that were on here.
00:47:39.000No, Punked, there was an 18 month to 24 month period where Punked was everything.
00:47:47.000Robin Big was a big deal with all that.
00:47:51.000I'm just saying there's some shows here.
00:47:53.000It looks like intentionally a lot of MTV shows were left off this list.
00:48:00.000Robin Big or Rob Deerex Fantasy Factory was like a big deal for that was like the biggest show for like two years, too.
00:48:07.000Like, like the, and, and I'm, and again, I'm not saying I'm not a Jersey Shore guy, I'm not from Jersey, but that was legitimately one of the top rated shows on television.
00:48:36.000No, there's a difference though between what was culturally relevant and had the highest ratings and what was objectively a good quality show.
00:49:36.000Real attention to it yesterday, but it's absolutely everywhere.
00:49:40.000I was pointing out if you go to the New York Times page, the lead is not AI, it's not Iran, it's not anything else.
00:49:46.000The lead on the New York Times today was developments in the Cornell saga.
00:49:51.000This, of course, is a lawsuit that has been filed.
00:49:55.000A girl who was at Cornell took ketamine, she drank a bunch of alcohol, she went to a frat party, she apparently engaged in carnal activities with.
00:50:09.000Afterwards, it seems she realized that this was a very humiliating thing to do.
00:50:14.000And because in our modern society, we don't have a way of verbalizing why you'd be able to do something like that and feel terrible about it and regret it without converting it into, I must not have consented to it.
00:50:26.000Because if you consent to anything, it's good.
00:50:52.000People have to remember, too, that these were stories that particularly started, coincided with Gamergate, the Nerdgate stuff I was talking about with Game of Thrones, and then the rise of Trump.
00:51:10.000Just hyper politicized, but like in a cultural Marxist kind of sense, stories that took over our media.
00:51:18.000We were being told that all men are bad, every male is a potential rapist, that campuses and fraternities were these hotbeds of this activity, and it all fell apart.
00:51:30.000And funny enough, the original one of these, like the UR campus rape story, of course, fake rape hoax story, was the Duke lacrosse team.
00:51:41.000And famously, one of the students at Duke University at the time who became very well known on media for speaking out against this was Stephen Miller.
00:51:53.000I think he was like a college Republican back then.
00:51:55.000And I know he was in Students for Academic Freedom with David Horowitz, of which I was also a member at the time at Temple University, and also called out the Duke LaCrosse case at the time.
00:52:07.000That it seems like another one of those.
00:52:09.000So, you know, as we dig into this Cornell thing, Blake, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this something that she filed a lawsuit first and then the lawsuit didn't go anywhere and she just.
00:52:24.000But she didn't actually claim that it was non consensual two years ago.
00:52:28.000And now she's claiming it was non consensual.
00:52:31.000Like she's, oh, I've thought more about it.
00:52:37.000So I think the lawsuit is new, but she originally filed a criminal complaint with police.1.00
00:52:42.000Okay, I think that's the narrative everyone's digested.0.90
00:52:44.000The New York Times reported on this today that she goes to the party, does all that stuff, multiple threesomes.
00:52:52.000And then afterwards, it seemed they actually, the New York Times, They seem very aware of what's really going on.
00:52:57.000They charted out that originally she describes it to her friends like it's this extreme thing she's done, like she's so adventurous.
00:53:04.000And instead, people react, they kind of find it disgusting, they find it upsetting.
00:53:09.000And then she realizes, oh, this is bad.
00:53:12.000And then she was actually interested in one of the guys more seriously.
00:53:17.000And so she was sending him friendly stuff like, oh, you know, it was kind of wild, but you know, nothing illegal happened.
00:53:25.000Literally, the twist that the New York Times highlights today is she was looking forward to a Halloween party at this fraternity after this all happened.
00:53:34.000And then the fraternity realized this is getting a lot of heat.
00:54:26.000She wasn't going to lie to the police.
00:54:28.000So they look at this and they go, Well, this is kind of gross, but it's not a crime.
00:54:33.000Now we have this entire dramatic aftermath, and it just seems everyone is losing their minds about this, except for actually the view, oddly enough.

00:55:41.000You shouldn't be, you know, young men shouldn't be putting themselves in these situations.
00:55:45.000And, you know, because there's scenarios, that's part of the conversation, right?
00:55:50.000Which is there's scenarios where Like young women get into this embarrassment situation, which this may totally fit that same bill, right?
00:56:00.000But it's like it's completely unfair to the young man and they drag them through, and then we find out later, like, that this is a hoax or, you know, it was obvious it was a consensual relationship, whatever, right?
00:56:14.000Because that's at the end of the day, that's what's most meaningful is that, you know, was there consent?
00:56:19.000Was there, you know, doing all of that?
00:56:21.000But, In the framework of like a semi normal relationship.
00:56:25.000And again, where it's like, this is clearly not that, right?
00:56:30.000This is clearly a situation where society is so broken, right?
00:56:35.000You have an abnormal relationship, which I'll tell you, I think is the epitome of, again, society really.
00:56:44.000I mean, they're men, young men, the numbers that were just released this year are getting worse and worse.
00:56:53.000Young men and young women wanting to be in relationships, particularly young women.
00:56:56.000It's interesting to me that this blew up when we've seen polls that say, yeah, what, 66% of women say their problems are caused by men?
00:57:09.000Because this is one of those situations where clearly, you know, this could be a, the outcome could be that, okay, this was all, you know, consensual or consented or whatever.
00:57:21.000Like, we don't know what the situation is, right?
00:57:23.000You know, God forbid, heaven forbid that it's a situation where it's not.
00:57:27.000But regardless, the situation is that now you have these things are polarizing to the fact that men and women, young men and young women, get even more freaked out, right?
00:57:39.000And it's because they're putting themselves in environments that are not normal or healthy or, you know, that are going to take them to closer to marriage or like a relationship.
00:58:02.000And ruining people's lives on both sides.
00:58:04.000Because it's not just the young woman who's embarrassed.
00:58:07.000It's also a young man later on that's embarrassed because there's a video of him engaging in something that's like, it's totally immoral, demoralizing everything.
00:58:33.000And so, you know, the thing that bothers me, and sorry, I'll just finish on this, is like the thing that bothers me about this situation is that I think people get off on the wrong stop on this thing, which is like the first stop is the anger, animosity, I'm with her, the type, like, you know, stand with the young woman who was clearly taken advantage of or whatever, right?
00:58:55.000And that may be the outcome of this, right?
00:58:59.000But the bigger picture element of this that's completely ignored, that never gets discussed, that the media for sure never discusses, is like, These are all things that society should be fixing, like trying to fix proactively.
00:59:15.000In fact, people are saying, like, oh, like, there's a whole element of this of people responding to this, being like, well, it would have been okay if she should.
00:59:24.000Yeah, you know, and she would have been like, this is okay on OnlyFans.
00:59:53.000Everyone's like very detached from actual normal relationships.
00:59:57.000Everything is mediated through fake things, which is TV, all those TV shows, notably, I think we didn't talk about television got a lot more graphic and kind of porny in the last 25 years compared to anything that came before due to HBO subscription prestige channels.
01:00:13.000They would all have a lot of sex and nudity in them.
01:00:16.000And then actual just pornography is everywhere now.0.98
01:00:20.000And I think this is frying people's brains.
01:00:22.000It's making them think, oh, this could be a fun thing to try.0.93
01:00:26.000And they're all getting one shot by this because actually, this stuff is depraved.
01:00:36.000You've seen, you're someone who's actually married, has a normal family life.
01:00:41.000We thankfully have a lot of people like that in the turning point world.
01:00:44.000But I feel what's happening to a lot of people is they've been fed this line of, Basically, feminism, like anything is good as long as you consent to it, and there's no dangers to this.
01:00:56.000And people are getting absolutely cooked when they see the actual consequences of this.
01:02:31.000Am I treating my partner, you know, with respect?
01:02:34.000And that's why it's important in the confines of marriage.
01:02:38.000And like there's the legal side of this where, you know, there's going to be evidence and hearings and a jury.0.60
01:02:44.000But none of this would have happened if these young people were living in a moral and Christian society that asked itself not the wrong questions, but the right questions and didn't put themselves in really dirty positions to begin with.0.68
01:03:35.000And now we're just seeing this absolute cascade of psychological destruction.
01:03:41.000And it, It kind of makes me angry that a lot of people are going to throw the school, the police, the prosecutors, these boys who made bad decisions.
01:03:51.000I think it's like pretty gross what they did, but they're going to try to pulverize them a lot more.
01:03:57.000Like, I don't think they're criminals, basically.
01:03:59.000And it's like they're basically going to turn them into scapegoats for a giant society wide lie that they feel the need to perpetuate.
01:04:07.000I want to play this clip because it does intrigue me.
01:04:15.000Paglia, like arch feminist, left wing feminist theorist, but she had a pretty interesting response to this that I kind of want to play.0.99
01:04:58.000If you go to a fraternity house party with a chaos going on in the living room area, and a young man says to you, Would you like to go up to my room?
01:07:41.000If you look at Poland in the communist era, when it was like the People's Republic of Poland, there was like a pretty high number of serial killers.
01:07:59.000I don't know if we need to, but I think it's just a strong point that they're going to have this.
01:08:05.000It's ridiculous that we're going to have this gigantic.
01:08:09.000Freak out, this gigantic tizzy over this event at Cornell.0.64
01:08:12.000And really, it's just screaming at us in our face that the sexual revolution was a mistake, that people actually deep down don't even want this.
01:08:22.000I think that's actually the most interesting thing about this entire gross story.
01:08:26.000If you read the details, which I don't really recommend unless you have the stomach for it because a lot of it is very gross, but like the entire thing is like not even arousing.
01:08:36.000It actually is like it's off putting and gross.
01:08:40.000And that's what stands out to me about this that there's actually no romance involved in this, no real desire involved.
01:08:46.000It's people robotically acting out, as Zuzu said, this like porn inflected view of reality.
01:08:53.000It's cooking people's brains, it's making them miserable, it's creating all these casualties.
01:08:57.000And that goes back to like what I was saying was that, you know, you're engaging in this because you're not, when you're not interested in trying to seek like actual really, and again, I'm not blaming this situation totally on this.
01:09:10.000I'm just saying, in general, society, when you have.
01:09:13.000Young men and young women who have zero interest whatsoever in actually being in a relationship for years, if not decades, or maybe ever, you engage in more of this activity, right?
01:09:23.000So, what you're saying, we can take it all back to the beginning.
01:09:26.000People are cooked because they haven't formed relationships and they've spent too much time watching TV.
01:09:32.000If you're not trying to, if you're not seeking after those types of activities, like the good activities, you're going to fall prey to the bad ones, right?
01:09:43.000You're going to try to reenact the things that you consume.
01:09:46.000To your point, like, which is like a highly pornographic society.
01:09:50.000Like, we've said this many times on this show.0.99
01:09:53.000We've talked about this it is shocking what percentage of American young females are on OnlyFans.
01:10:02.000It is shocking the percentage of young women who engage in even just clickbaity type Instagram content that they're just seeking attention and not really sinking relationships.0.53
01:10:14.000Again, you can only do so much with the 24 hours that you have every day.
01:10:18.000And if you're spending all of your time for years, like getting paid now, and I actually think, I totally think that it's one of the worst things that could ever happen to society is the monetization on social media.
01:10:38.000Well, your small business ownership now in America, predominantly with young women, is getting clicks for posting bikini pics.
01:10:45.000Like that is an absolutely terrible, uh, A terrible situation that's happened for young Americans.
01:10:56.000And it's going to cause further delays in building families, which means further delays in maturation, which means that America is going to get sicker mentally, physically, like as a society.
01:11:10.000Like, and this type of activity, again, if you're in the mindset, it's like, oh, well, I'm basically just like a click person, I'm not worried about getting married for a decade.
01:11:21.000I might dabble in this activity that's going to be like, it's going to get, you know, whatever, 10 years from now, no one's going to care.
01:11:27.000I think, well, 10 years from now, you should probably already have two kids in a long term career and focused on where your life's going to go.
01:11:35.000And that's just not where young Americans' brains are at, unfortunately, as an average right now.
01:12:19.000And that's like, again, it's the best.
01:12:22.000I mean, there's nothing more gratifying and I'm more grateful for it.
01:12:27.000It's like, I think about this all the time, especially as a dad that's raising a teenager now where it's like, I'm so glad that my teenager, when he's busy doing things that are positive, right?
01:12:37.000Like he has a girlfriend right now, like he's doing positive things that versus negative things.
01:12:44.000And if you have like, if you're idle, what they say about idle hands, you know, actually lead to really bad things.
01:12:54.000If you're not, if you're not like looking after kids and are busy yourself with, you know, your kids' activities and doing these, like you can easily slip into and fall into.
01:13:06.000You know, bad habits, bad activities, and things that just aren't going to make your life better.
01:13:11.000And so that starts at the moment you turn 18 and you get out of the house.
01:13:15.000And it can continue till the day that you leave this earth at an old age.
01:13:20.000And we've seen stories of all of the above.
01:13:22.000You know, I have friends that have had family members that have fallen prey.
01:13:26.000Because again, how many times have we seen where the kids leave the house or something and they end up in severe alcoholism or whatever, right?
01:13:35.000Like drug addictions at an old age, a very old age.
01:13:38.000Again, happen idle hands like you have nothing going on, and it's like all of a sudden you can slip into these things, any person can feel fall prey to it.
01:13:47.000All righty, before we wrap, I think we basically approached the end point.
01:13:51.000I think the main takeaway here is yeah, go out, start a family, which means watch less TV, actually, even though we just spent 45 minutes discussing it.
01:13:59.000No, no, no, find someone you can watch TV with, right?
01:14:04.000Like that's that's a cool part of being in a relationship.
01:14:06.000Find someone, you know, Jack's right, who's your TV watcher?
01:14:37.000Like, I just think you have to level with people that if you're trying to undo 40 years of bad policy, of globalization, of shipping American jobs overseas, It's going to take a little bit of time to fix that.
01:14:48.000Now, do I think we've made incredible progress?
01:16:31.000Support your local, you know, hole in the wall.
01:16:34.000Actually, I'll save this as a thought crime for maybe next week, but I'm getting sick of those people who buy a 3D printer and make absolute 3D printed slop and call themselves a small business.
