My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You've got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as much.

many kids as possible. Go start a turning point you would say college chapter. Go start a turning point you would say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am.

Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold. leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.

All right. Welcome to Thursday, thought crime. I'm Andrew Colvette. We've got the crew kind of scattered across the country. There's Danny. We got Tyler, Blake. We're going to have Jack Posovic

joining us in just a few. But we thought we'd get it started on the proper time. Is this the proper time? I think this is a proper time, right? It's the new time, we changed it. We can't forget the time. We moved the time.

I'm in a different time zone, so that's partly the issue. And you know what else trips me up, although Blake, you love this, is that Arizona, so now that I'm living in Arizona now, they, the whole like never changing the clock. So I'm like part of the year, you're on Pacific time, part of the time, part of the year. All of the year, we're on God's time. God's time. And I'm still a little confused. about this, but Blake, you keep me, you keep me straight. Tyler, you're a lifelong Arizona. Do you like that?

Yeah, I like not changing our clocks, but I wish we were Pacific time all the time. Mountain time's great. We're only two hours away from the East Coast. We're not, we don't have these big three hour gaps. I like having the three hours away from the further we are from the East Coast, the better on time. We could go to Hawaii time. And I, and I'm, I'm a big fan of, I just like being California Like there's something Arizona is definitely more California to me Than it is like Colorado

What about Utah? Utah is more Nevada Yeah Utah Nevada is definitely more California Utah's just a lot like Arizona You guys are making these weird distinctions Between states You know it's weird actually is Nevada

If you're in the south It's more like California If you're in the north it's more like Idaho and Utah No but I mean That's truth mountain time Like Utah should be mountain time There's like That's like a mountain state

Arizona is I know we have mountains we have like big mountains but we're not part of the Rockies so we should be Pacific I mean it's just it's the way Central Times not that bad Oh well okay

I grew up on Central Time You're in between everybody Well Ohio's on Eastern time But Central Times Chicago You mean Texas Times? Yep How many times did we have Oh wait you're from

You're from Michigan Yeah sorry I didn't mean to devolved the conversation in such a way. But I did mention Ohio State, and I think that's what we want to hit first. I mean, we have to. We have to, well, so. The Ohio State. Yeah, so to set this up, it's good.

The, yeah. Oh, we talked about it on, we actually talked about it on the show today as well, but it's very funny because it felt like a super eventful Thanksgiving weekend, which it was. We had the attack in D.C., we had the Somali fraud story really bubbling up, the Trump administration announcing huge changes to immigration. We have this escalation of the whole seditious six issue and possible regime change in Venezuela. And if you take all of those things, I don't think any of them were the biggest story for most Americans.

The 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. And we're talking, of course, about Lane Kiffin. He's the highly successful coach of the Ole Miss. rebels he coached them all the way to the playoff this year i think it's one of their best results ever and if they get a title i think it'd be i don't have they ever won a title before who old miss yeah oh miss i don't think so oh miss oh that's an interesting question i don't believe so i think that would be their first ever title and so he had all that success and then he got

offered a shinier job at ls u just over the border in louisiana decided it's a nicer program So he skipped town, and he went away to it. And we've got, I think we've got, like, clips of them giving him kind of a, you know, a single-finger send-off and all of that. So this blew up, and one, we can debate the actual story itself, and I'm sure you have an opinion on that, Danny. But I also want to debate the state of college football generally. And in honor of Charlie, who remains a Oregon Ducks fan on assignment with God. I'm told this is called The Duck. I called it Ducky the Duck earlier, but I just made that up.

So he would care, Charlie would care deeply about the state of college football. So he would want us to discuss this. Yeah. Yeah. That's the key here. We're doing this, like, this is a pure ode to Charlie because Charlie would love this topic. And, you know, that was what was so great about Charlie. He was, he was like as American as apple pie.

He was, like, college football, that was his thing, love the ducks and love talking sports. 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. And then we would talk sports and people would get like, we'd get emails and Freedom of Charlie Kirk.com. And they would be like, this isn't a sports podcast. What are you doing? I want to hear the news.

But Charlie loved it. And he also said, and Daniel attest, if he ever got out of politics, he wanted to be a college football coach. True story. So, but this is a story that has captivated the nation to your point, Blake. Why? What is the story? I mean, you kind of went through it a little bit, but like, why has it captivated the nation?

Well, so Lane Kiffin has always been a slightly controversial figure in the realm of college football. He's been at a lot of different teams. He's had more than one awkward departure. I'm only, I'm mainly an NFL fan. I remember him just being a disastrous coach of, I think it was the Oakland Raiders. And this was 15 years ago or so. But he's an interesting. coaching coach. He's often villain. He's a Trump supporter. He's a vocal Trump supporting coach.

So you have all these different angles to it. And we've had this happen a few times. In fact, I believe, um, we've had other coaches, the one that I always come at this from the NFL perspective. And so I remember, uh, I'm drawing blank. Who's, who's the famous Alabama coach who won five titles? Nick Sabin. Nick Sabin. He bailed on an NFL team, I believe, to go to Alabama. There was another coach, Miami, he was on the Miami Dolphins and he skipped town what was it that was that was really bad no no I think Nick Saban was the one who left yeah he was at the Miami Dolphins yeah there was a Falcons coach it was a Falcons coach who bailed um that was Bobby Petrino yes Bobby Petrino he skips town on the Atlanta Falcons

after Michael Vic got arrested for dog fighting and that team was clearly cooked and I think he said he was sticking around and then just kidding and he bailed So we actually have a long history of coaches jumping from one role to another. And certainly in college football, a very successful coach at a smaller program is routinely promoted up to a bigger one. So we've had guys who are in Division 2 go Division 1. We've had those coaches at the FCS level, rise up to the bowl level. But I think this one stands out the most actually because it still is another competitive program.

it's one that has some pride and some history and you just have this purely mercenary angle to it of I have decided this program is just slightly cooler and slightly better and I'm just going to take the money and I'm going to take the status and bolt to it but you probably follow this the most Danny so what do you make of all this? Yeah I mean the craziest thing of all this is Lane Kiffin didn't address his team when he left so he just left and he never told

like the players privately beforehand so apparently they all found out from the administration everybody else at the same time so that's kind of what made this even bigger and what blew up among the fans and then the players started like coming out and tweeting at lane kiffin um that he never like talked to him so that made it even worse but knowing lane kiffin that's probably like really on brand for him uh this is totally lane kiffin this is like yeah this is so on brain kiffin lane kiffin me thing that's ever been done LSU actually plays at Ole Miss next year. So that's going to be quite the game now.

It's going to be huge. Go ahead, Tyler. Oh, I was just going to say, I was really interested to watch on X, like, how LSU fans react to this. Because it tells you a lot about LSU fans, because all of them were, like, really excited about it. And, like, I mean, it's such, like, a dirty way to, like, have this all go down. whole thing and his and his statement did we but do we throw up his statement his statement was like so BS it's like I haven't even read it I want to know what it is oh you didn't read his tweet oh man it's a tweet let's bring it up here let's go lane Kiffin's tweet is like such BS and it's like if I was

I mean look I mean this is like one of the dirtiest things ever happened almost and it's a lose lose for Ole Miss now at this point mm-hmm what do you mean explain that well if they go if they go win right because they have a good team like which they're not going to they're not going to like they're not going to win a national championship but like if they do make it there's going to be like all these questions surrounding like coaching and like they probably need a better situation coach wise than what they're going to be dealt with for the remainder of the season they're not going to make it to the national championship but like let's imagine they make to the national championship in their best case scenario

and they lose, which is probably the best case scenario, like this is going to live in infamy for forever. Even 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. No, he already is.

Check this out. Tyler, throw up through 54. This is actually like a true story. Lang Kiffin claims Ole Miss fan tried to run him off the road. So when he goes into Oxford, he's like legit going to need a full detail security they're going to have to like sneak him into the venue what is like what are they going to do when he's on the sideline you know like people are going to start throwing bottles at him Andrew we had for our our tour stop so that the Charlie

Memorial tour stop here this last the entire stadium basketball stadium was full of students yeah that wasn't even a dog it was 10 000 10 000 and by the way we had over 50% of that of that school enrollment had registered for that event. 50% of the entire enrolled student body registered for the memorial. They were all like

they show up. They're enthusiastic crew, man. They were really enthusiastic. Dude, I would not want to be Lane Kiffin dealing with that. Like, he's going to walk in there. Well, next year. Like, that's crazy. I want to go. Like, we should go. That would be fun.

Actually, that would be really fun. Probably going to walk in with not a great record either, but we, I bet with our turning point chapter there, we could do a heck of a like a game day, college game day event there. We should actually really do this. Here's the here's the statement from Lane Kiffin. He posted this on X. He said after a lot of prayer and time spent with family, I made the difficult decision to accept the head coaching position at LSU. I 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. My request to do so was denied by Keith Carter. Oh, he's making an enemy out of somebody here, despite the team also asking him to allow me to keep coaching them so they could better maintain their high level performance. Unfortunately, that means Friday's Egg Bowl was my last game coaching the rebels. While 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

will miss and we'll be rooting hard for the team to compete their complete their mission and bring a championship to a 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 uh bison sanders said he has this quote despite the team asking me to keep coaching i think everyone that was in the room would disagree and then another guy here uh sun sun turin perkins they have new names every year in this thing he says that was not the message you said in the media room everyone that was there can vouch on this so we already have the players calling lane kith and a liar uh it seems pretty sinister what's funny to me as a guy who's more into the NFL though

is just so he seems it's villainous that he basically just bolted to go take what he thought was a better deal at lSU and didn't stick around but isn't that basically the highest value of college football at this point every single college player you can get paid now so the amateur sports aspect is is dead and you can transfer without any serious penalties we just have the transfer portal so aren't we effectively at the point where it's just why wouldn't a coach be any different if anything at least the coach has to sign a multi-year deal the players don't every player is basically a one-year free agent college football prove me wrong college football is just a more mercenary more more bloodthirsty more out-for-yourself version of the NFL they have switched places well I

I totally agree. Yeah, but in college football. Go ahead, Danny. I want to hear from you. Well, college football is better. College football is so much better than the NFL because you get true rivalries. You get true underdog. You did.

You did have true rivalries. No, no, no. You still have that. Ohio State, Michigan is still the best rivalry in all sports. It's not even a question. And. The Ohio State. I thought you had to put the D in front of it.

Yeah. Well, I reserve the right. I don't need the D if I went there. I'm just making that's the rule I'm coming up with yeah I get options but there's real real rivalries there's real underdogs there's no underdog in the NFL everybody's a professional it's like college football also just the college now no no the team spirit and the crowds in college are also way more rowdy which brings makes the game so much more enjoyable to watch and be there it's just second and none that the NFL is just kind of whatever

I'm going to tell you guys about Y-R-R-E-F-Y-F-R-E-F-Y-F-F-I-R-R-E-F-Y-F-F-I-R-F-E-F-I-F-E-F-E-F-E-FI-FI is. refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans. You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget. Go to whyrefi.com. That is why refi.com. Do you have a co-borrower?

Private student loan debt relief, Y-Refi.com. By the way, real quick, Cade Kaufman, regular commenter, regular Joan, he donated two bucks and he says,

My Grandpa is a massive Ole Miss fan, and he was not happy. That is to say, at least, it seems the state of Mississippi, they are, well, they're called the rebels. They're in revolt again. they're in revolt against Louisiana. By the way, isn't that a funny thing that you just brought up like, okay, so we have to change the name of the Redskins, and we have to change

the name of the Indians, but like somehow the rebels have gotten off completely scot-free. I guess maybe because they know that local politics. Well, Florida State, if you look, Florida State still has the guy in the red face paint riding a horse. Yeah, with the seminal with the spear on fire

and they throw it into the midfield. It's pretty sweet. Which is bad. It was just, 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. And 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. Anyways, 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. I'm not in favor of getting rid of that. That's actually not true. You see, that's part of. of why that's actually why they've tried to get rid of it yeah no it's actually one of the reasons i would say this was pointed out by uh by scott greer in an essay where he was talking about the messy state of college football so i want to shout that out he pointed out so this is a good example of how college football has actually been corroded and corrupted over time that so this team people let's be frank they used to wave confederate flags at old missus stadium all the time

and they used to have the confederate flag in the mississippi state flag but they banned them Not even just discouraged. They have banned them. They used to play Dixie regularly at Ole Miss Games. They got rid of that. They used to have this Colonel Reb mascot who looked like this old Confederate officer guy. They got rid of him. Yeah, they got rid of Colonel Red.

The university was a key player. Now, see if you guys can get this. Their freaking new mascot is Tony the Landshark. Yeah, that's what I think of when I hear the word Rebel, a Landshark. And then the state actually, the university played a, huge role in campaigning. Yeah, that's, that's, uh, you have to bring up John here. No one can see what that is.

Yeah, Tyler, but, but, Colonel Reb was like the, the, one of the best mascots. Yeah, it was a great mascot. It's iconic. It's a regional. I'm a Yankee. Like, Colonel Reb, like the actual mascot that they used to have of dress like, it's incredible. Yeah, it's great.

But they killed it and they're not bringing it back. And the state, you know, the, the university played a key role. in them changing the state flag they basically said we need to change the state flag to get better recruits and get in more national football games so it really is everyone wants to

celebrate the rivalries they 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 and okay we have a term for that it's just you're a professional sports league

and I think it's a sad sad state of affairs It is becoming a little bit It's like Blake with the hat Blake needs to grow out that mustache I don't think I could grow that mustache I don't have the power to look like I'm a Prussian aristocrat Yeah we need that

Yeah yeah you would The Vladimir Vladimir white like that What were you to say Danny Well one of the reasons that Lane Kiffin 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.

So they basically said you're done coaching because they didn't want them around the program to take basically half the Ole Miss team with him to LSU. So 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. No, they're fading, they're degrading. Here's the sad truth.

Here's the sad truth about college football, Danny, that you're going to have to come to grips with, is that I agree with Blake. It's basically more cutthroat and more greedy and more driven by money. I think, and this is the funny thing than the NFL, this is the funny thing about college football is the fans don't want to admit it. They do not want to come to grips with the fact that college football is purely driven. This is why the Pac-12 doesn't exist anymore. This is why you have West Coast teams playing in East Coast leagues. I mean, everything is why we have the 12 team college playoff. This is the root of every new change and every disruption in college football.

And the schools, they realize that this is a huge moneymaker. So the ones that have are trying to make sure that they get in with the ones that have a lot more so that they, you know, they continue making more money. It's a revenue game. But the fans don't want to admit it. We do want to give Charlie his word on this. So we talked about rivalries. Let's go, we were talking about, this is when we were talking about another topic, the pledge on whether you can, you know, whether you should avoid watching the NFL,

I think was one of the components of it. But let's play Charlie on college rivalries, 355. Can we talk about this? Can we talk about the, by the way, I hate UW more than I probably hate Stalin. Okay? And I can't believe you're a duck's fan. Like the odds of this happening that you and I have worked together for this many and you're a ducks fan.

Better yet. Andrew was into it. So half of me was like, oh my gosh, the trolling that I would have over this would be. But yet even with that, I said, I actually feel really bad. Oh, man. I miss him. I miss him. I miss how I would make fun of him and tease him when the ducks would like

flopping the playoffs again this year it would be funny are they contenders for the playoffs i think they are oh yeah yeah i was really pulling for what's their record at are they at one loss or two danny yeah they're 11 they're 11 and one they're a lot i was really pulling for who did they lost to indiana right yeah i should have been i shouldn't have been rooted against oregon i i really but my natural instinct is automatically to root against oregon like every time like and now i'm like feel very very conflicted like in honor of charlie but like my natural go-to is like as a pack 12 as an as an as u s u fan is like organ just beat the living crap out of us for so long that it's just yeah all right i think danny do you have to do we do we have a hard out for you here yeah i'm out

all right all right well we'll bid farewell to danny and while we wait for uh i think jack is going to join us we do have another uh we have another rumble rant but and i want to respond to it. I think, hopefully one of us can answer this. This is from Kairie 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. Tyler or Andrew, do you guys know the status on wait list stuff? That is a really good question. That was a great question. We've never had this problem before. I'll ask. Yeah, I think it's just the events email,

events at TPSA.com. I feel really sad because I know one of our people had mentioned last week. They had a ticket that they wanted to donate, I believe, because they couldn't make it. But I guess that wasn't a possible change that we could make at this late stage of the game. It'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. But thank you regardless, Kyrie, for being a supporter. we uh yeah here i'm asking the events team right now and one of them is writing back i see i see the the typing happening uh so hopefully we'll know it and please forgive us this year because

am fest obviously with everything that happened i mean it just uh it just oh i got an i got an email here everyone was emailed that it won't happen and they'll get a discount code for 2026 all righty okay yeah we we feel really about like andrew i'm echoing this too uh we have have the absolute largest possible venue that we have in the state of arizona uh we have we have maxed out the maximum capacity that's there uh we appreciate everybody and we're so sad that um you know people can't they can't make it but this is a good reason it's like get your tickets early you know be there and plan to be there for next year in in particular because it's uh it's going to get big and we have actually a special announcement i think that's coming for not next year but the year

following to we're making a two year in advance announcement they're they're they're they're going big the events team is going to huge and it's going to keep asking we're going we'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 it'll be like a time portal into the future uh we have some people responding to the the college football topic i liked uh unashamed unashamed girl for him says i hated that they added the money aspect to college college college way college football was way better before that they should be playing for the love of the game not of money and i get the appeal of that i think the biggest problem was it became about money

for everyone else the coaches were making millions of dollars the assistant coaches could make millions of dollars the broadcasters were making billions of dollars the schools were making millions of dollars so why were the players to some extent just cattle practically who they were just a tool who could get plugged in and yeah they could get they had the scholarship aspect of it but even that is like so corroded at this point being a student athlete is in a lot of schools it's practically a joke you can go to special separate classes for the athletes with special tutors they make sure you don't have to work too hard or have to know how to read as much as everyone else and it's turned it all into a joke and 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 a lot of these are state funded taxpayer funded institutions well blake i have a question maybe you know the answer if not we can look it up is so now that you know say say uh archie manning who's getting paid apparently like 10 million dollars it's the highest paid player in college football say he doesn't pass his grades you know there used to be a clause that if you didn't get passing grades you would get you you got sat you know on Sunday or Saturday rather is that still a thing Archie Manning 10 million dollar man if he doesn't I believe it still is I believe it still is the rule but the deal is is that they have uh okay if if the rule is that you have to pass your grades

but there's so much writing on this well we can't allow those grades to get into the way and so that's why they have those systems where okay here's special classes you can take we're going to make sure wink wink nudge nudge they're not too difficult here's some special tutors wink wink wink nudge they might really really help you with your academic work this happens a lot we have one scandal after another i i 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 and i believe you could take it multiple times infamously the uh instructor for this class they had a quiz where it included the question

how many points is a three-point basket worth? And that's extreme cases. There are players who do make the most of the college opportunities they get from going there for free. But the temptation is always going to be towards diluting it, towards making it meaningless, towards just maximizing the money-making aspect of it. And I don't have a problem with that in pro sports. I think it's weird that we do this with our taxpayer-funded institutions. So academic eligibility is still required to compete in college sports to maintain their NIL opportunity.

So it's actually tied to their paycheck. So 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. And they must be making reasonable progress toward a degree each semester, typically measured by completing a certain number of credits. So that is, so they have a credit requirement, they have a GPA requirement, and it's tied to their NIL opportunities. So fair enough.

So 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 Raps, they call it. And I know both of you two have you looked at yours and you have what your most listen to music is and we're going to force you to reveal it. Tyler, I think yours is less embarrassing than mine.

So why don't you stop? Why don't you start? With what? You have to reveal your Spotify rap. No, I don't know. I thought it says on here, oh, I'm first. Yeah, you've got to reveal it, bro. Yeah, mine's kind of embarrassing, though. Yeah, that's why we're making you reveal it.

All right, fine, put it up. Mine is more embarrassing. Fine, I'll go first. Okay. No, yours is nice, Andrew. Yours actually looked like mine last year, and then I made it, I made a cognizant decision to change how, uh, who controlled the audio in my car. No, so here, here's the back story with mine.

We have one account because like you, they keep advertising. I don't want, no, you don't get to justify it first. We have to reveal it first. Then you can make your excuses. Let's reveal, let's reveal Andrews, his Spotify rap. Let's got it, I think it's 350. We have a collage for this. Let's show up.

What is Andrew's most listened to song? Oh, it's really zoomed out. You got to zoom in on these things. I can't see that. That's really tiny. You guys got to make it bigger images. But luckily, I prepared for this, so I already know. what his number one is and it is k-pop demon hunters yeah i mean yeah the the reality though is

that k-pop demon hunters is actually andrew not his kids yeah yeah exactly we all know how if i if i admit that i know like basically all the words at this point uh yeah it was funny because uh fos was like dude i had to outlaw k-pop demon hunters from our house because we have you didn't you didn't outlaw it and no my who's to say i didn't at this point uh mine is the same it's fallen off it's falling off because they're one of the pages they do they they show you which ones you're listening to at different times k-pop is no longer and it's still overall for the year it's number one but uh that's only slightly less embarrassing the moana two being our number two most listened to album and then mufasa the lion king wrapping up the top three but i will say

i got morgan wallen and forest frank child the god too uh rounding out the top the top five is is morgan wall on your wife's or yours though no it's more me i'm i grew up listening to country music so i yeah charlie and i never saw eye to eye on this he hated country music i hate country i think he liked that it was kind of american and and mostly a conservative fan base and that sort of thing but couldn't stand the sound so uh but i was always like charlie you just you just don't know uh how good it is your your top podcast was garden keeper gus is this a Is this a children's book? Is it like a radio drama?

It's very calming and soothing. So when they are freaking out in the back of the car, they're calm. You listen to Garden Keeper of Guests, and they listen to a story. And we turn the speakers, we 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. That's the strategy. Come on, Tyler. Back me up.

Blake doesn't have any kids. That's a Spotify original. No, my kids in the car, they make me turn on the road trip trivia podcast. It's not on Spotify. Road trip trivia podcast? Yeah, road trip trivia. It's these two moms. And it's very interactive.

So every time I get in the car, they immediately go straight to it. So I actually might turn on Garden Keeper Gus and just like put them to sleep in the back. I mean, that's good if you can put your kids to sleep. All right. So I think we're still, do we have? Jack ready to join he can join but we still have to make sure we're going to we're going to do Jack we're going to do Tyler's reveal and then bring Jack on okay all right all right well we're going to humiliate you before Jack gets here then

Tyler so Tyler what is let's let's put up 349 except I'm still not going to be able to see it I bet what's here oh your top genre is screamo I'm not embarrassed I'm zero percent embarrassed by this at all and and mine last year actually was all kid stuff just like Andrews was and then we made the change so now they have an iPad in the back that that connects to the to the radio so they get to use that screamo yeah I have your top your top song well give me give us a scream a song

they have to play one of these screamo songs he's into yeah but no but this is the thing though my yellow card is my yeah my top artist none of them are screamo it's yellow card I think I had on there death cab for cutie like that's not that's like it's just like emo. Lewis the Child is great. Jack's Mannequin, which is like probably my... I haven't even heard of most of these bands. You haven't? The Ataris? I've never heard of them. No, I've never heard of them. I've never heard of Louis the Child. I've never heard of Jack's Manikin. I've

heard of death cab for cutie. Wait, you guys haven't heard of any of these guys? Death Cab is like 2005, but I couldn't have told you what genre they are. Oh, it's good stuff. Screamo. Are you just listening to trance music while driving? as long as the comment on it we're good this is this is jack's mannequin this is jack's mannequin okay do we have one of the screamo songs he likes we need it what's your favorite screamo songs

see that's the thing well Tyler should have listened to scream scream out the best we don't play it on the show but the best era driven screamo that I listened to for my era was taking back Sunday was cute without the

cut from the team can we throw that up You guys have to do this song. Cute without the E cut from the team. What? What the cute without the E? Yeah, so that's the name of the song. That's the same.

You haven't heard of... I've never heard of this in my life. You haven't heard of taking it back seven. All music for me was violently killed in 1991 when Nevermind came out. And that's that. Are we getting that there? Are we getting it? Is this your music?

this is okay so you just listen to like a Tony Hawk's pro skater soundtrack yeah that's right this is our audience remember Tony Hawks pro skater on the N64 we had we had all that stuff that's wait this is the chorus you ready

see emo and Screamo in the 2000s was very normal it was very normalized by like skating and surfing and snowboard yeah it was very normalized so it was a lot of things were

normalized in the 2000. So, like, kind of like skaters, like, and skater trash and fake skater trash. Yeah. I, uh, you know, Yellow Card has made a big comeback. They've done like a world tour and stuff. They were number one this month. Yeah. Really?

Yeah. They got, they got a song to number one. I knew that they were, uh, I knew that they were, uh, making a big comeback. Uh, people, people like, when bands have those kind of revival tours, it's very interesting to me. You listen to these bands when you're young, and then you get a little bit older, and then they go on tour again. They reform the band. And then their fans have all this money, so then they just buy tons of merch, and they buy more expensive tickets, and they fell out these arenas.

You really do have this kind of like second wave career if you're a youth culture band. It's fascinating. Yeah. I actually have a good yellow card story. So Yellow Card in high school, when I was in high school, I worked at Target. and so after school I would go work at Target as like a like I used to like check out as like a lane guy or guest services guy and a girl worked with me and we

I gave her my yellow card CD to remember you used to burn CDs yeah yeah I don't think I ever I think I had my uncle do that and I had him send me appetite for destruction so you'd buy one person would buy the CD and then you like illegally burn it and like duplicate it at home like a thousand times and so I always would get the CDs because I worked at Target so I got the scene and everyone would burn it so this girl

burned the CD and the reason why she did because she really liked Yellow Card because she was a violinist because yellow card is violin punk so they have a violin violin punk yeah it's like a punk I thought punk was supposed to be violent not violin no it's very it's very pop punk with a violin and her name was Lindsay Sterling who ended up becoming a very famous violinist if you've ever heard of it oh that's pretty cool that's pretty cool it's i still don't

get how that's punk but but we work together at target and she burned my yellow card CD all right okay okay posso is beating down the door and by the way the reason you can't see my spotify rap is because as per my declared uh state i don't subscribe to anything so i don't have spotify i don't follow any streaming services and so none of them can produce a yearly wrap up of what i'm listening to you have no good stories You know, you have no, we have nothing, no content because Blake doesn't subscribe to me. You cannot get anything on the, he can't even, he can't even participate in this next topic either because he doesn't subscribe to it. Exactly. But we're going to do it anyway because I have a big picture idea about it.

No, uh, wait, we have, we do have Jack. He is a topic he really, really wanted to hit, but we need a video to set it up. And so it's only the number one topic in the entire, in the entire country. I mean, I mean, it doesn't surprise me that it wouldn't be on Blake's radar, but like literally everyone else in the country is talking about it. Yeah, exactly. But I won't. because I keep myself pure and immune. But we have this video we need to play because it's setting it up. And so it is a clip 3333. At long last, we can begin. You and I, we are going to do such beautiful things together, will you?

Such beautiful things. What in the wide world was that? Before you say anything, Jack, can I say this? When Jack brought this up originally and tweeted about this, I thought he was being over-dramatic. And I was like, this is like, this seems like is way over-dramatized. Not that Jack gets overly dramatic often, but sometimes on the pop stuff can happen. And so I'm like, I'm going to watch sit down and watch this. and I watched it and I was actually I thought that jack didn't go hard enough on this

well so let's let's let's let's explain what we're talking about for so for people who might just be listening also hi or people who you know don't um you have no idea what we're talking about like blake for example so this season five of the tv show netflix show stranger things has just come out this is netflix number one show it is currently the netflix is number one show worldwide. It's been a massive cultural phenomenon. The original season was all about 80s nostalgia. That's what made it so big in the first place. You hear the synth music. It's kids riding around on bikes. So it's got a lot of allusions back to old 1980s, you know, movies and growing up like that. And 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 Yers, to be able to sort of share the 80s with their kids. And they've gone, and they've been making the show gayer and gayer as the seasons go on. And in this scene, this is the, so this is a flashback, what you're actually watching back to season one. So 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. And I watched this scene, and you're seeing the big bad right there of the whole series. We'll call him Gay Darth Vader. And 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. We'll call him Gay Luke Skywalker with his tentacle. And he is shoving his tentacle down Gay Luke Skywalker's mouth. and shooting his dark effluvia down the boy's throat. The boy's eyes roll backwards. They, you know, they roll back in his head. He starts gagging. And 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. And to me, I watched this. This was actually released prior to the season. itself. And I said, guys, this is, this is, you know, very clearly representative of a gay rape scene. And 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, this is their keystone show. This is their, you know, tent pole show. This is their blockbuster. People have been waiting for this for four years for this very episode.

to come out and that's the first thing you see and what was crazy is that people then came back to me and said oh that's not what it is jack you're just making a big deal of it to tyler's point no no that's really really what it's representative of oh it was like it was more horrifying than i i realized and i sat down it's like right at the beginning it's like they like they wanted this to the lead off and it's super everything about it's weird like i was talking about it with my wife while we were watching. We're like, I was like, oh, this is the thing Jack was talking about. She's like, what is it?

I'm like, it's like something, something gay happens at the beginning. And she's like, what are you talking about? And we watched it. And I was like, there was, we went through it. There's probably 50 different ways they could have done this like so easily. It's like they, this was, this is like, this has to be intentional. Like all this is like, it's so clearly weirdly intentional. And even like the scripting of it super like none of it's necessary.

It has nothing to do. Like, there's no way that this actually is applicable to, like, the story in any kind of way, other than it just being, like, super weird. If you're tired of watching this country drift away from the values that made it great, it's time to get involved. That's why I stand with AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens. Charlie loved this country, and he loved partnering with organizations that truly stand for what makes America great. One of our most trusted partners, Amac, the Association of Mature American Citizens, is doing something special in Charlie. honor. Amac is offering free memberships to all ages. No credit card,

no strings attached, just a chance to stand for faith, family, and freedom. Join this movement. Go to amac.us.us slash Charlie today. That is amac. dot us, forward slash Charlie today. So,

Jack, did you say, did you describe it? You said it was a textbook gay rape scene? Representative. Like representative of pedophile you know, behavior. And 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, yes, that's true. However, if you watch the rest, and the rest of the season

kind of gets into this where this character, his name is Beckna, but I call him Gay Darth Vader, where Gaydart Vader is then targeting other children, but he does so in a guise called Mr. what's it and and her point was well perhaps you could read it as a warning of grooming behavior and while that's all you know well and good i i just think this scene itself in a tv series which has been marketed uh very largely towards children is just inappropriate it's just it's so weird i mean everything everything it's very graphic it's very graphic and you know you know the fact that we have to blur it out for I mean here here's what I would say jack to those people that were hating on you it's like who who any age over like 15 wouldn't see this imagery and be like

that looks a little phallic like you would of course see that you could not see that by looking at that image and then him petting the kids head and like I'm kind of with you it's with you Tyler like it's worse than I imagine and I get that like people are going to defend it as some sort of like make believe but to your point i think a lot of families watch this show am i wrong jack i only watch season a lot of a lot a lot of families watch the show yes a lot of family watched together like especially with like teenagers and stuff like that and like like a little bit like my kids are kind of in the perfect my my two older kids are kind of in the perfect my though i i feel like 9 10 11 12 year olds or like this is kind of like a really cool show to like that

age group because it's just it's it's it's not really scary but it's scary enough and it's you know It's just kind of an interesting, you know, like Jack said. We've been asked, people are asking us to cut the video out because it's too disturbing to them. So I guess they're definitely agree with Jack's point on that one. You can just show us still. But 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. We got written up in international, you know, media over this.

And I had all these, these, I call them the stranger sim. All the Stranger Sims were coming at me saying, oh, no, it's just, you know, it's just like the scene in Alien, don't you understand? They're just doing a bit from Alien. I said, well, you understand that the movie Alien is meant to represent male rape. And it's an R-rated movie. Alien is an R-rated movie. And they're called the facehuggers in Alien are meant to represent male rape because it's, it's sort of this, you know, creature that grabs onto your face, injects its, you know, sperm, spore, whatever, into your body, then they become pregnant, and then the pregnancy kills you. So it was written, and the writers of the original Alien movie have come out and said this, that that's exactly what they intended. They 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. Again, go look at the actual writers of Alien. That's what they said. Like, I'm not making this up. So

For people saying, oh, it's just like the alien scene, yeah, I know. I understand what an homage is. That's what they're doing. But what I do want to also point out, though, is, and let's talk about some of the B roll here, guys, throw up, where is it, where is it, where is it? Throw up just some of this B roll, 334, just throw up 334 as B roll while we're talking because, and some of this other stuff, because you can see if in 334 and, you know, 339, 340, just scroll through those. There are numerous tie-ins to children's action figures, children's happy meals, all children's, children's toys, where they are clearly marketing this show towards children. I think that last one was, that was just the Teenage Ninja Turtles. No, it's like a co-branded thing.

Okay. It's like a crossover deal. But, you know, I think the point is, because I only watch season one, so I'm a little behind on Stranger's thing. I thought it was cool, love the synth music, retro 80s. was like the kids were really really young it kind of had this like it was like a kids you were watching the world through these kids eyes and being terrified at this stranger thing that was kind of creeping into their reality but it and again I could be misremembering but it seemed completely appropriate for like a little slightly older children to watch with their parents

there were some there were some like violence but you know that's that's that's probably as much as season one was some adult themes but it was like it was basically you're falling these kids in their lived experience right around as they grew up as they great but Andrew but Andrew the point is is that this scene is meant you know it's a flashback to season one so it's almost like the writer so it's like Netflix came in basically woke flicks came in and was like no season one was too family friendly so we want you to watch season one knowing that this is what actually happened right before season one right so the kid gets um or i guess during because the kid gets um will this is

name of his character who's now gay Luke Skywalker he goes missing and throughout all of season one they're trying to find will well now we found out this is what was happening to will he was being raped by gay Darth Vader the entire time yeah it it kind of it ruins it like it totally ruins it it ruins everything they root they they they ruined it is this is this worse is the first five seconds of this season of Stranger Things were than the last episode of what do you call it on HBO that ruined the Sopranos no the Game of Thrones well I mean what's what's worse wasn't so the thing what's worse the last five minutes of the last episode game of Thrones or the first five minutes of the strange

the thing about Game of Thrones is the badness of it was like the last five seasons of it essentially no it was the last like two two or three seasons but two or three seasons but two or three Well, so this, for me, for me, if people are like, why is Jack commenting on this stuff all of a sudden? It's kind of like, this is sort of a return to form for me because my original, you know, Twitter account and I had a blog going back in like 2012 through 2016 was all about ripping on Game of Thrones. I did a blog called the Angry GOT fan. And so that that was our focus. The entire time was basically attacking HBO for what they were doing with Game of Thrones. Jones. And so this is a little bit of return to form because now I'm the angry Stranger Things fan, I guess. Way before a critical drinker, by the way, way before a critical drinker, although I love that guy. I think he's phenomenal what he does. So Jack, you mentioned that this is kind of like pedophilia, grooming, like this is, you know, this is what some people are observing this is as a warning. But it's like, it occurs to me that the entire show is now, in hindsight being 2020, is just one giant grooming exercise. That's what I

I've stuck you into a show. Yes. I've never watched this. Because Stranger Things just clearly seems to be. I said it was a sissy hypno program to turn you gay. And I kind of suspect all three of you guys might be tainted by this. Well, so, wait, hold on. No, Blake, Blake, I will unfortunately and begrudgingly admit that Blake was probably right about this.

But there is, do we have any of the, okay, no, we don't have it here in these clips. There's a clip now in, so this is what's crazy, right? what they set it up with. There's a new clip in the very last episode of this, you know, current, um, the current episode that have been released, where basically will, the, the, the, the, the, the Luke Skywalker, and this is why I call him Gayleuk Skywalker, because now he then talks to his lesbian friend, uh, Robin, Rock and Robin, and she tells him that it's okay to be gay and you should just embrace your gayness. Oh, we, do we do a, we have it? Oh, we have Okay, I see it now. I see it now.

She just looked perfect. It's so, God-Brefect. 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. Because there was always this part of me that kind of scared me, you know. But I thought that if Tammy loved me, all of me, you know, I wouldn't be so scared anymore. And then he showed up. Steve the Hare, Harrington

You probably can't guess the rest And that's when it hit me It was never about don't have to him It was always just About me I was looking for answers And somebody else But I had all the answers

I just need to stop being so God scared Again, that music you heard in the background Was not Synthwave if it was the undulations of the sissy hypno burrowing into your brain, you guys just, you gave into it for four seasons. Blake is right. Blake is totally right. So, so what happens, what I was referring to is,

and I see what's going on. Right 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. So Gay Darth Vader and Gay Luke Skywalker both have these force powers now and are able to use them to fight each other. Well, I guess it did reveal Gay Darth Vader did kind of use the force on him if you get what I mean.

Oh, man. Oh, no. Yeah, that's dirty. That's very dirty. But what you said is interesting, Jack. You said that you said it as they have to, because she said it in that clip where I just had to embrace me. So 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. I'm just making sure that, like, it's that on the nose. No, it's that on the nose, the entire thing. And so he, he gives in. And they've been playing, and well, and I will tell you, by the way, that the end this is so the full season hasn't been released so the sequence that they specifically mentioned not just giving into self but it shows him growing up with another boy and as they're very young so this idea that they're trying to imply is that he's been romantically sexually attracted to his best friend all along and there's a theory that a lot of people have been talking about producer Fas, you know, totally agrees, by the way.

You should definitely get him on this episode where, 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. 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, this weird pedophilic scene with gay Darth Vader and and now just about embracing gayness so it really goes back to like what what a lot of people have been warning about Netflix and that that movie Qudies and a lot of things that Netflix does to just take stuff and then wokeify the heck out of it. Are we going to 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 yeah literally he'll be like that's literally the 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 literally the Obama hope poster that is no no they're like rule credits yeah they'll meet another boy who comes in to help them in the final battle right and they're like what's your name I go by Barry but yeah yeah he's Barry he's an exchange student from Hawaii I go by Barry I see a student from Hawaii, right. Hey, Andrew Colvett here. Do you want to own a home? The time to act is now.

For the first time in years, buyers finally have the upper hand. There's more inventory, more negotiating power, and less competition. But this window of opportunity won't stay open for long. As soon as the Fed cuts rates,

buyer demand is expected to spike driving prices up and giving sellers the advantage once again. With peak home buying season in full swing, now is your moment to secure the right home. on your terms. Don't wait for the market to shift. I have done this before and you don't want to do it. Reach out today to get approved for mortgage financing with our dear, dear friends, Andrew and Todd. They are godly men and good men. I trust them. Just like Charlie did. Hear him

talk about Andrew and Todd and Todd.com or call AAA, AAA, 1172. These are the guys that I trust. With 40 years of experience, they really are the experts, and they make it easy because they keep everything in-house. Call AAA, AAA-1-172, or or go to andrewandthod.com. That is Andrew and Todd.com. The, uh, you know, it's, so, but, Jack, I just, sorry to belabor the point. But are they saying that homosexuality is just self-narcissism? So I don't think so because I don't think they're that self-aware.

I think they're, I think the general message is that, um, 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. And this, you know, if you watch a lot of Netflix, we know that Netflix has a huge LGBTQ section. We know that they inject these storylines into property after property over and over again. And I think it's, I don't think it's, I don't think they're trying to be that on the nose. I think they literally think it's good writing, It's not, obviously.

What I do you find interesting, though, is I don't know if there might be in Blake, you might, you know, I'd like to get your take on this. It 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. So it's like, what, what, what mean Netflix? So it's like, is there some guy who's like in the background? who's actually like closeted you know closetly like conservative who's like what if we what if we had vekna abuse him and everyone just kind of went along with it but he actually is like putting a subliminal message underneath that that overt message like a strousian kind of thing maybe i got i just think it's all that's a glass half full that's a glass half full uh take on it after your op ed you might be

well yeah that the no it's in the op-ed it's the very end of i say it in the very end of my op-ed like or maybe is there like an extra little little something going on there a little wrinkle because because i don't know that we have stats on this that are provable maybe we do i should look them up but like do we have stats on you know if it's in the office of people that are that are that are self-described like they were abused as a child that then so in in the op-ed i did research for this. I did, I did look this up, and there was a Vanderbilt study from 2022 that found that heterosexual adults reported instances of child abuse at a three to four times higher rate than the heterosexual population. Well, maybe you're right then. Maybe there is some weird tie-in.

Maybe the writers, some writer in the writer's room looked up the same stat that you just referenced in your op-ed. One could- And so they're trying to like kind of like sneak it Which, which obviously, it's totally at odds with everything that the characters are saying, you know, embrace yourself, just be yourself, whatever, whatever. But also, you know, it's like, it's kind of contradictory because we don't see him, you know, being like this before the, uh, the, uh, the view scene. We only see it after. So Faz, Faz just dropped something in the chat that convinced me that this is really just like a, the whole like stranger things is five seasons or whatever. It's just like a game. six cents, because in 335, we have a clip. Maya Hawke says she wouldn't exist if her parents hadn't aborted her sibling. Like that, I mean, this is, this is dark, 335. I'm on 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 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 and I of course wealthy people will always be able to get abortions but so many people because of this ruling this week will not only

not be able to pursue their dreams but actually lose their lives and be unsafe. Was she seated on that in like a dark was she seated cross-legged on I didn't miss that but I think she had her leg under her yeah that's a little odd but that reminds me of that

Pramala Jayapal tweet where she was like Abortion is health care, full stop. And then she just got ratioed into oblivion. A really dark thing, a 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. It's just, I guess, you know, we have D&D and Stranger Things I've heard, Dungeons and Dragons. They think it's just, if you get an abortion and then have a kid later, you just, you re-rolled their stats.

You just, you rolled the dice for a different kid. The kid, same kid came back. They're just different. Yeah, that's the wishful thinking from the, like they're really only killed someone, maybe if you never have a kid at all. But otherwise, yeah, you're just re-rolling their stats. No, this is something where, and by the way, so there's another angle to all this as well. Do you guys know about the Warner Brothers deal?

Haven't heard about that. No, what? You guys, Andrew, have you heard of this all the big acquisition that's going on? Oh, yeah. Something about it, yeah, vaguely. Yeah, so Warner Brothers Discovery is currently up for sale. And what's really interesting is that Warner Brothers Discovery is also the parent company of things like CNN, HBO, like all this stuff, right? And so one of the top bidders for this is Netflix.

So they're coming in with like this Netflix, which is known for being one of the wokenest, you know, know, organizations on the planet, one of the wokeest 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. There was one, it was like a, something about a couple, I remember it was 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. This 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. And I believe, if I remember correctly, there was a writer what was that show Paranormal Park I think where they had trans

characters and I think the creator of it was actually attacking Charlie, like making fun of Charlie after he was killed, was another Netflix show. I forget exactly what he said, but it was I remember that being another Netflix show with a trans character and 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 and also by the way WB also owns like what else um all of the DC superheroes so like Superman Batman Wonder Woman Green Lantern who I believe they already made gay in in Warner Brothers, The Flash, et cetera. I'm not sold on this making a big difference. I mean, we already have an example of beloved characters getting taken over by a turbo gay company, and it's called the Disney Corporation. They've made a lot of stuff really gay. But you're just proving my point, though, that if Netflix gets this, you know,

it takes over a double. My guess is Warner Brothers property already has, like, keep big gay. I just don't think we're going to see a lot of gay Bugs Bunny, because when was the last time you saw anything related to bugs bunny i guess they made a new space jam my kids watch bugs bunny every day like every single day they love it oh are they making new looney tunes or do we just have the old looney tunes they are making new ones there's new yeah there's new ones there's new ones there's a whole new there's a whole new show where it's like um it's got like an overarching plot basically you know where they you know the character is kind of the storylines like flow we have we have epic arcs about

bugs bunny the epicest bugs bunny is going on a building's roman built bugs bunny is following the curious journey the so the other angle of this there's two other companies right now that I think are in a bidding war

um over over Warner brothers and so that's I'm just saying like if Netflix gets in like I'm coming for it like this is insane this is completely insane and I can't imagine how you do this the other two companies are umcast which honestly They have obviously not a huge fan of since they run, excuse me, and it's now.

And 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. They gave that to Barry Weiss. So it, you know, it seems like they're trying to at least do something to differentiate themselves there. Jack, you're going to love this. You're going to love this. They are, Jack. it's that they're

quietly moving to the right over there with CBS. Guys, we got $5.00 dono from Zuzu's pedals. You're going to like this. You're going to like this. Zuzu'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. I canceled Netflix three months ago and so should you. Or, you cancels all stream and you're right. I totally for, it totally slipped my mind as we were having the conversation that Obama is, I don't know if he's on the board specifically, but they have a major, major deal between

Barack, Michelle Obama. I thought he's on the board. He definitely got a huge contract to make those documentaries that I was looking up, no, it's documentaries and feature films. They 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, Oh, yeah, yeah. It's like the end of the world one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Susan Rice got on the board of Netflix. Okay. Right. Well, okay, so basically Obama. Like Susan Rice was Obama. The appendage. So that's what it was.

Susan Rice gets on the board and then so. But the Obama's, the obamas are clearly deeply in bed with it. So how do they think we're going to react if the obamas then take, like, imagine if the Obama's have a direct line to controlling CNN and controlling, like, controlling like everything the wb does it's like no that's i i would go to war over that i would 100% go to war over that it's leave the world behind that was oh yeah that was the film behind that's yeah he made that and by the way by the way everybody i remember all those conspiracy theories about how you know what did they know did they know something was going to going to happen and

and then there was the scene where all the teslas uh which which people thought was like an 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 Tesla's. I'm telling you, this is absolutely the Obamas are trying to take over media. They are trying to take over a media empire. They've already done it with Netflix, which by the way, I'd love, because I think Stranger Things started like almost 10 years ago. So that was before the Obama partnership.

So 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. But now, right, now they're required to do all this extra stuff. So they even have to go back to season one and make it all gay. And in fact, actually, one thing that's really interesting, it just occurred to me as well. They've also caught Netflix stealth editing stranger things where they will, because it's a streaming service, right? so you don't have DVDs of it so they'll go back and they've actually like

slightly edited certain characters and certain storylines as the show is going so if you go back and watch season one right now yeah yeah there was a whole scene where one character was kind of like a peeping Tom of the character Jonathan 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 so there's the guy with the shutter camera and so they re-edit it so if you go back in season one and look at it now to do a re-watch it's like it's like a slightly different you know a slightly different narrative wow so jack on a scale one to 10 how big is this story worldwide i mean it's the number one show in the world

right now it is the number one show don't and don't think for a second that lots of kids are not watching it because they are um and it's something honestly where it it people say like oh why do you care just don't watch it's like no guys we actually do have to pay attention to how the masses are being propagandized and that's exactly what's going on here oh i totally agree the issue yeah 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 the the sporting event halftime show later uh you know later next year yay sports and yay sports and and i would also add I'd also add that, you know, 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 exist in the world, they are now all going to have this mental model.

This will be the mental model that they are given. This is where most people get their stories from. That's where they get their beliefs from. It's where they get their history from. It's from watching movies. There's no more powerful instrument in the entire world, movies, TV, TV, shows, dreaming, et cetera, that people get this from then here. And that's why I call it out. That's 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. Disney got really mad at me over the Star Wars thing. Actually, 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 diverse band of rebels, and all of the villains were white men. Every single one was a white man, and

all of the heroes were not. And of the heroes who were white men or the one straight white woman, they were all killed one by one from the old movies. Just saying, just saying, I'm noticing things, I'm just noticing a few things here. You're just noticing. The crime

of noticing. Jack, why don't you take us home? it's been a fun episode uh thanks so much guys pay attention what's going on don't be a stranger sim and ladies and gentlemen as always go out there and commit more thought crime on many of these stories and news you can trust. Go to charliekirk.com.
