Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to another edition of Thought Crime Thursday.
Happy Thought Crime Thursday.
Jack Pasovic here, Charlie Kirk, will be joining us in a second.
A lot of thought crimes this week, especially some which involve Charlie Kirk directly.
Actually, that's pretty much every week.
But riding side saddle, of course, we've got the great Blake and also producer Andrew.
What's up, guys?
Howdy, Jack.
What's going on, Jen?
Once I think we're all going to be remote, this is a rare occurrence for us.
Blake is in an undisclosed location in a bunker somewhere.
Even worse, it's a bunker in Washington, D.C. Yeah, I don't, I don't recommend it.
Swamp creature.
That means you and Jack are actually relatively close by to one another.
Yeah.
Yeah, we talked about actually seeing if we could get the logistics to work to be together, but it just didn't.
I didn't realize he was in town and I had like family stuff going on, so it didn't work.
But one day, one day, we'll all be here together.
But the big story, right?
The big story that I think of the week that we've all got to get into.
And it's just, it's ubiquitous.
It's everywhere.
Everyone's talking about it.
I'd like to say that we sort of, you know, called this shot a full year ago here on Thought Crime.
It's Sidney Sweeney.
It is this Sidney Sweeney ad that has completely taken over the universe.
People are calling it out as Nazi propaganda.
Sidney Sweeney has good jeans.
Of course, he's playing, you know, paying homage, I guess you could say, to a Brooke Shields ad from 1980, and where, you know, there's a very similar monologue and they're using a pun, of course, jeans and jeans with the J and the G. And the left is in, I have to say, they're just in complete meltdown mode over this.
They are completely losing their minds.
And again, by the way, this is just a commercial, right?
It is a commercial.
And I love this because, and, and Blake, I want to throw it to you because whenever the right used to get upset about, say, like Dylan Mulvaney or one of these things, wouldn't they always say, oh, it's just a commercial?
Oh, it's just a commercial, right?
And I would argue, I guess, that these things aren't just commercials.
These are ubiquitous mass media campaigns that are launched with multi-million dollars.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was a billion-dollar campaign behind Sidney Sweeney because it's everywhere.
There are people taking pictures in malls all over the place of this.
And it's not just a commercial.
It is, in fact, a huge tell for where we are as a society.
But Blake, what's your take on that?
Yeah, well, I think first of all, we should probably show the ad in case people haven't seen it.
So yeah, there was the image ad where she has great jeans, but how about I think it's also a video clip?
Let's show cut 430.
I'm not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans.
And I definitely won't say that they're the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn.
Or that they make your butt look amazing.
Why would I need to do that?
But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I'm not going to stop you.
But as soon as this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans, Sidney Sweeney has very keen.
You see what I did there, right?
I want to say that.
So those are pretty tame, but then there's 524.
And I think 524 is the one that's really, really pushing the envelope with a lot of these types.
Jeans are passed on from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color.
My jeans are blue.
Sidney Sweeney has very keys.
Oh, no.
Denounce.
Horror.
They made a punch.
Terrible.
They made a pun.
Dare you disavow.
Disavow.
Completely.
That's obviously eugenics and Nazi propaganda.
And she happens to be white, Jack.
I think that's the real thing we really need to zero in on.
She's white and she has blue eyes, which is a crime.
It's a crime.
In modern America.
My jeans are blue.
By the way, I think we have Charlie.
Do we have Charlie joining us?
I am here.
Yes, guys.
Sorry for the delay.
Complicated business.
Charlie, do you have good jeans?
I was actually gene shopping.
That's why I was.
That was not planned, folks.
I was trying on some new jeans.
Which brand were they, Charlie?
Did the menu work?
They were Lululemon.
And I'm considering an American Eagle purchase.
Just in Solidary, we had a hilarious call on our show.
Hilarious.
And we're going to air it.
This woman, sweet old woman, she's like reading a prepared script and she's a member of ours.
It's one of the greatest clips ever.
And she's like, Charlie, I'm a member.
I'm a child of God.
I pray for you all the time.
Everything, you know, you do such a wonderful job.
I want you to let you know that that ad, the reaction was so insulting.
I have blonde hair and blue eyes and I have good jeans.
I bought American Eagle Jeans just as a protest.
I'm like, I like, I love, no, it was so good.
I got to get the Clip.
It was the radicalization just from the reaction of this advertisement has been has been amazing to witness.
Every time that a leftist screams about Sidney Sweeney being some sort of like, or the ad being some eugenicist ad or Nazi propaganda, I think like a thousand more young men register Republican.
I think it's a one-to-one ratio.
Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wing.
No, a young Republican is born.
It's amazing.
It's like the best marketing that the Republican Party could ever hope for.
Just please keep making these insane videos.
And think about how many bullets are.
One of my favorites.
One of my favorites, I'll let Jack chime in is, you know, some of these Subaru women on social media.
They're like, what do young men see in Sidney Sweeney anyway?
I'm like, yeah, you really don't understand.
Literally, if they don't understand, it should be our streaming numbers shoot up every time we play the ad.
Does she even have a graduate degree?
It's definitely her personality.
Jack, your thoughts.
Well, so let's look at where we were in advertising a year ago or even two years ago when we had the likes of Dylan Mulvaney being a corporate, the face of a corporate brand.
We had the likes of the plus size models.
Remember the plus size models were feeded upon us in Times Square and in marketing campaigns all across the German Shepherd for years.
I'm sorry, no, no.
I'm sorry.
You got to go back.
Guys, trigger warning.
Hold on.
Like, you got to, you got to tell me.
Time out.
No, you're going to put it on.
No, no, no, no, no.
Hold on, time out.
Go back to the picture you showed before.
Did they do an American Eagle just to troll them?
Not that one.
Is she really holding a German Shepherd in one of the advertisements?
Oh my God.
It's just a dog.
How has this been lost on all the critics?
I think it's hilarious.
It's just a dog.
Although they do say the German Shepherds are the most trainable dogs.
That's why they use them in the military, law enforcement.
I'm sorry, Jack.
I interrupted.
I'm sorry.
Of all the picture, of all the dogs they could have selected.
It's a puppy.
Why isn't it?
Why wasn't it a pit bull?
Well, that's a whole other thought crime.
Jack, I interrupted you.
Keep going.
No, you're fine.
You're fine.
And it's it, so, and yeah, we've got a bunch of videos reacting to this, but think of the billions and billions of dollars that were spent on these mass marketing campaigns to try to tell us that the 2019 American Eagle model was as I'm just going to say it, it was as attractive as the 2025.
It's it's clear.
I mean, I don't know, maybe some people are into that.
Um, I'm not really that much of a bedon-ka-don guy myself.
I'm sure that I'm sure that they're out there.
I've certainly met guys like that when I was in the military, but you know, I'll go for the 2025 all day long.
And I'm sorry, like you're you want young men to not be attracted to Sidney Sweeneys.
Like, you could you could spend all the money in the world.
Elon Musk could come up with the greatest AI, input all of the knowledge of the entire world, and it will not be able to come up with a computation that will make young men not be attracted to Sidney Sweeney.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Reality is reality.
It's as simple as that, folks.
Blake, big picture thing, then let's play some of the reactions.
No, yeah, we'll do that.
We'll do that after the reaction.
Let's do the reaction first.
How about let's start with, I think the funniest one is, let's do 501.
Let's do that.
Was Roe v.
Wade not enough?
Because I'm starting to think we're one Sidney Sweeney campaign away from them taking our right to vote, too.
We must start protesting, ladies.
She can't keep getting away with it.
She's got to be trolling.
I think that one's a troll.
I think that one is like kind of a, you know, a little bit.
I don't think they affected.
Okay, but that was too affected.
Yeah.
Good morning, America.
Was probably not trolling us.
So how about let's do 425?
We begin with the backlash of our new ad campaign featuring actress Sidney Sweeney.
Yeah, the ads are for American Eagle, and the tagline is Sidney Sweeney has great genes.
Now, in one ad, the blonde-haired blue-eyed actress talks about jeans as in DNA being passed down from her parents.
The play on words is being compared to Nazi propaganda with racial undertones.
The pun, good genes, activates a troubling historical associations for this country.
The American eugenics movement in its prime between like 1900 and 1940 weaponized the idea of good genes just to justify white supremacism.
Despite that backlash, American Eagle stock has been soaring.
Imagine that.
Who wants to react?
So guys, I'm confused.
I'm a little confused.
Can someone, Charlie, you're on campus all the time.
You know, you interact with these professors as well as the kids.
I was told that race was a social construct along with gender.
So if race is a social construct, then how can what she say be racist?
Because she's just talking about biology.
But if race is a social construct, then how can that be racist?
I don't understand.
Well, you're not allowed to ask those questions, right?
You're not allowed to talk about genetics, even though some of the most popular, most touted companies last couple of years was 23andMe and Ancestry.com.
But you're not allowed to talk about genetics.
Let's go to another.
Go, Andy.
Yeah, I mean, when we talk about race and all this, I mean, we are living in a world where black is beautiful.
And, you know, we're, I mean, all the races, at least black.
I mean, but I think basically most of the races, except for white, have a free license to sort of talk about how great they are.
I mean, I don't understand what the, if we're going to be consistent here, then we should be able to do that.
That's all I'm saying.
It's, you know, everything should be fair game.
But anyways, go ahead, Charlie.
I don't mean to interrupt you.
No, it's fine.
I mean, you just think of all this stuff.
I mean, it's support black businesses, Black Lives Matter, Black History Month.
And there is one single lady.
There's one lady who is in a advertisement for genes, and everyone loses their mind.
They immediately call it Nazi propaganda.
Private student loan debt in America totals about $300 billion.
WhyRefi refinances private student loan debt and they do not care what your credit score is.
Many clients aren't even able to make the minimum monthly payment on their private student loans when they first contact YReFi.
Go to yrefi.com.
That is why F-Y.com.
You don't have to ignore that mountain of student loan statements on your kitchen table anymore.
So go to yrefi.com.
Do you have a co-borrower?
Well, whyRefi can get them released from the loan and you can give mom or dad a break.
Go to yrefi.com.
Can you imagine being debt-free and not living under this burden anymore?
So go to yrefi.com.
That is yrefy.com.
Let's face it, if you have distress or defaulted private student loans, there's no better place to go than why refi.
They provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay.
They're not a debt settlement company.
So check it out right now at yrefi.com.
May not be available in all 50 states.
Go to yrefi.com.
That is why F.Y.com.
Let's continue with cut for 27.
Should we be surprised that a company whose name is literally American Eagle is making fascist propaganda like this?
Probably not, but it's still really shocking.
Like a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white woman is talking about her good genes.
Like that is Nazi propaganda.
Does she have a septum piercing?
And they all have septum piercing.
I don't know why.
Can we have a conversation about that as a side note?
What is with the I have a whole theory as to why young men find Sidney Sweeney attractive outside of the obvious?
One of it is that there's no disfiguration.
There's no work.
There's no tattoos.
I mean, you look at them and you look at the difference there.
What is the nose-piercing appeal?
Who are you drawing into your life?
What kind of energy are you sending out?
And I'm sure some of them are good people.
But what is the pro septum-piercing argument?
I've never heard it.
Do you get to look like a bull?
I don't know.
Like, I've never got it.
I just would like to be able to order coffee somewhere that, you know, I don't have to see a September piercing everywhere.
I mean, I guess I can understand if it's somewhere.
The fact that we allow this is really just everywhere.
It's just everywhere.
You know, the, you know, tattoos all over the place and septum piercings all over the place.
And you see this with like teachers now in grade schools.
You see this in children's TV.
I see it because, you know, I watch like kids' media.
Charlie, I'm sure they're seeing Boat and Andrew because we have little kids and I never remember anyone in kids' media looking like that before.
But, you know, just to go back to Sidney Sweeney, I think, Charlie, what you're saying is it's because, you know, the qualities that she has are just naturals.
She's got great naturals.
I think it's really the naturals that these young men are so attracted to.
Her, her wonderful naturals.
Blake.
Okay.
So, first of all, I like on the septum piercing thing, there's kind of two theories you'll see.
One is kind of there is this element where sometimes it's a psychological theory that women will like egg on each other, supposedly in like a you-go girl sort of way.
They'll egg each other on to doing things that make you less competitive, like in the basically in the dating market in competing for the attention of men.
So you'll be like, Does this septum piercing make me look good?
And you're like, Yeah, it makes you look great, sister.
And like, even subconsciously, they realize it doesn't do that, but that's a good thing because you want you want the competition to be sabotaged.
That's one theory.
Another theory, frankly, you could kind of relate it to the social contagion with transgenderism, where women are, you know, young women.
This is the theory in that Abigail Schreier book where women who are in their teens and they're sort of traumatized by suddenly, you know, they've hit puberty, they're suddenly getting male attention, and some of them find that very uncomfortable.
And this uncomfortable thing sort of drives them in the direction of, oh, maybe I just don't want to be a woman at all.
And you kind of, you do the whole dramatic, you know, identifying as having no gender or being male.
And that's like a way to secede from male attention.
And maybe like really disgusting body deformations, like piercing your septum, getting a really hideous tattoo, or even just getting incredibly fat.
These are ways of sort of cutting this off.
It gets you away from that uncomfortable element of attention.
Like everyone's so afraid of receiving attention from others that feels uncomfortable at all that they do that.
So there's kind of competing theories out there.
Another one on the flip side, this is a common one with tattoos, is that if you get a tattoo, it actually does increase the attention you get, even though most men find them less attractive.
A lot of men will basically hit on women who have tattoos because they perceive that they'll be really easy, that they'll shown a pattern of making bad decisions.
And maybe the next bad decision they'll make is going out with them.
So there's a lot of things that go into it.
And I do think you are correct, though, that a lot of the appeal of Sidney Sweeney is like, we need to analyze this when it's the most straightforward thing in the world.
Sidney Sweeney is thin, has good symmetry, has like a generally good appearance, has no weird deformations, no weird traits added to her, and she has good natural assets, as it were.
And like the fact that you even need to explain that at all is exactly why the left has lost a cultural narrative.
So to circle back to that big picture thing I wanted to bring up, the most interesting thing about this is that really for our entire lives and our youth, the left was associated with like youthful beauty and like the stereotypical right winger would maybe be like an old church mom like lecturing you about something or this like grumpy old man and now it's like the left itself is coming out and saying oh this image of like an attractive young woman selling jeans that's a right wing message a far
right message even thank you for doing our work for us i suppose guys i um i have to i'm gonna take the the body mod and then the sydney sweeney question body mod i i I might get in trouble for this.
I might get my second Media Matters article for this, but I think that body mod, not always.
I think there's some people that are just creative.
I mean, it might be kind of the tattoo instinct that they feel like it's a form of creativity.
I think a lot of it, though, is spiritual darkness.
I think there is a tendency to modify the natural, to take away from God's design when there's spiritual darkness present.
I totally believe this.
This is why we run into so many of these kids on campuses with the piercings and the green hair.
And, you know, they're purposely rebelling against natural order, even the way they dress.
And nothing can be considered traditional or standard fare.
Everything has to be different.
I personally believe that.
Secondly, I think the Sidney Sweeney, to answer your first question, Charlie, why does she appeal is because she's like American-coated.
Like, even in this ad, she's driving around in an old Mustang and peeling out.
And she doesn't make it, she doesn't make excuses for her beauty.
She's kind of strong.
She's an athlete.
She's done a bunch of sports.
And she's not pandering to sort of this left-coated, modern, weak wokeness.
She's doing the exact opposite.
It's like a throwback to the 1980s.
It's a throwback to like the 1960s and 70s.
And everything about it is just, to Jack's point, is natural.
And she's leaning in as opposed to trying to make excuses for how beautiful she is.
Let's, Joe Bob had something to say.
Look, I totally disavowed this video, obviously, but I have to play it anyway.
Play cut 533.
Hey, you want to go to America Eagle?
Oh, I can't go in there because I'm flat.
You know what?
She might be right.
I don't think American Eagle accepts EBT.
Oh, that's the one.
That'll get you in trouble.
Disavow.
Yeah, I obviously disavow that.
We got to ask, we'll have to ask Bobby Kennedy about that one.
Secretary Kennedy is our American Eagle.
EBT president's fitness test they were doing today.
No, but if you look at this and Duncan, go ahead.
Oh, so I mean, Dunkin' Donuts as well.
You know, they were kind of Dunkin Donuts also had, and that was a male in this case, but they basically put out an ad where he's like, I'm basically the king of summer.
And it's very clear that this is like, it's like, guys, this is the stuff that people were into for years and years and years.
You go back to the 90s, all commercials looked like this.
Gillette, the best a man can get.
The best a man can get awake.
And it was that video about the dad and his son.
And then like the grandfather comes in.
This is my dad.
And they're passing the razor on down through the generations.
Just one of the best ads ever made.
This is what ads used to look like.
And so when you think about things like that, you think about things like last year, White Boy Summer was a huge trend that was going around.
And it's very clear that this is the way the country is moving.
And what I want to be clear is it's not quote unquote moving far right.
It's moving back to the center where everything always was.
Yeah, guys like girls who look like Sidney Sweeney.
It's as simple as that.
Oh, we have a club.
MSNBC was talking about this.
Let's let's play the Duncan ad because I just mentioned it, 529.
Look, I didn't ask to be the king of summer.
It just kind of happened.
Miss Tan, genetics.
I just got my color analysis back.
Guess what?
Golden summer.
Literally.
I can't help it.
Every time I drink a Dunkin' Golden Hour Refresher, it's like the sun just finds me.
So sipping these refreshers makes me the king of summer.
Guilty as charged.
The golden hour refresher.
Only a Duncan.
Was Chet Hanks on the bottom of the chat?
You don't know who Chet Hanks is?
But no, I have no idea.
No, no, no.
Who is that actor?
Or figure.
Some pretty boy.
I don't know.
Gavin Casalengo.
Gavin Casalengo.
Oh, from the summer I turned pretty.
Oh, okay.
Gavin.
Yeah, that's the whole thing on Amazon.
I see it when I go watch the Cubs game.
They keep on pushing all this propaganda, trying to go watch the Cubs game.
The summer I turned pretty.
Go away.
It's all this Amazon Prime propaganda.
Okay.
Yeah, no, it's another actor that mentions genes and genetics.
Anytime.
Well, and that's why MSNBC is now complaining that there's this basically an arguable shift to, I think we have the image.
It was up earlier.
Yeah.
Sidney Sweeney's ad shows an unbridled cultural shift towards whiteness.
Like, what a dumb take from this.
I mean, it's just amazing.
And I actually saw some people on social media saying there's no actual pushback to this.
It's all just like paid influencers.
There's no actual organic.
And yet, there's the opposite.
There's actually support.
I'm just saying, like, people were suggesting that the whole pushback to the Sydney Sweeney ad was contrived, that it was manufactured, that there wasn't any popular support for it.
But I mean, if that's true, I mean, there has been so much coverage of this from the left.
Like, they're playing right into our hands if this is manufactured.
So it doesn't make any sense.
I think they're legitimately that deranged that they can't help themselves.
Making America great again starts with making America healthy again.
Charlie Kirk here, I lost 40 pounds with the PhD weight loss and nutrition program.
And two years later, I haven't gained a pound back.
I started the PhD weight loss program because I need to be healthy to keep up with my crazy schedule.
Most people start a weight loss program to get healthier.
So why is Big Pharma spending millions to convince you to use their weight loss injections that do just the opposite?
They have harmful side effects and lifelong dependency.
Take a natural approach that isn't connected to a big pharma bottom line.
PhD changes the way you think about food.
They custom design a plan that is simple and works with your schedule.
You'll learn to quiet cravings and finally release the unhealthy belly fat.
You won't be hungry and you'll never take medication.

I just, I want to read some quotes from the MSNBC article about the shift towards whiteness because it really is.
It's like you just take a time capsule back to the gobbly goog they were writing eight years ago.
The backlash to the ad has been swift and fierce, and some of it, at least, if you ask me, is fair.
The internet has been quick to condemn the advertisement as non-inclusive at best and as overtly promoting white supremacy and Nazi propaganda at worst.
These critics point to the copy and the implication of calling a white person superior because of their genes.
In the videos, Sweeney exudes a sort of vintage sexiness that caters to the male gaze.
She embodies the near-mythological girl next door, beautiful but low-maintenance femininity that dominated media in the 1990s and the early 2000s.
Together, the campaign feels regressive and not retro, offensive and not cheeky.
The advertisement and the choice of Sweeney as the sole face in it and the internet's reaction reflects an unbridled cultural shift towards whiteness, conservatism, and capitalist exploitation.
And Sweeney is both symptom and participant.
Man, this person would get an A in some incredibly stupid college class in like 2015.
In 2025.
I mean, this is the college cabal is still very much active.
I don't think we should ever assume that we've fully like smited these ignoramuses, but like this is, I mean, yeah, there is a shift towards opening the culture back up and feeling free to make, you know, provocative statements and ads and comedy and all this stuff.
This is all a good thing, but these people, we have not beaten them fully.
I think everybody needs to like slow their roll and understand just how pervasive this ideology will be.
That is true.
Don't make me do it, guys.
Don't make me do it.
Don't make me do it.
Uh-oh.
Just saying, just saying we can bring it back.
We can bring it back.
Sidney Sweeney's bringing it back.
I'll never forget, Jack.
I'll never forget.
Many, many were upset at the New York Times when that was launched.
But you know what?
Guess what?
That's where the comments are.
It was MSNBC.
I mean, they made it to the New York Times.
Jordan Reed lost her mind.
New York Times lost their mind.
Everybody lost their mind.
And it's like, guys, it's summer.
It's just fun.
Just have fun.
Stop being the way you are for five seconds.
And they can't.
They just can't.
They never will.
So it's like, guys, do you want to go over here and have fun?
That's a great way to put it.
Go.
Go hang out with Sidney Sweeney or, you know, and Andrew, I do, you know, Andrew did have to take a lot of phone calls on that one.
Yeah.
So why?
But look, do you look where we are now?
I'm forming a white supremacist.
Yeah, well.
It's literally, yeah, it was, it was the original, and now we got Sidney Sweeney out there.
So I'll hang out with Sidney Sweeney.
I'm good.
By the way, Sidney Sweeney was asked once to disavow.
I guess she was at like some family event up in Spokane, Washington.
And there were some people there wearing MAGA hats.
I don't even know what it was, some family event.
And she's like in these Instagram shots with, you know, other people of her family who happen to be wearing MAGA hats.
Again, this is like rural Washington state towards the border with Idaho.
And she wouldn't disavow.
She said, those are members of my family.
That's what they wore.
And I'm, you know, I'm not going to talk about that.
Great.
It was great.
Sidney Sweeney, we love it.
Yeah.
She's born and raised in winger country.
It's Eastern Washington is full of wingers.
I mean, that's that's deep red.
They want to, they want to break away from Western Washington.
Should we talk about the next one?
South Park?
Was there, what, was there something else this week?
Is there some other news regarding anyone like 394?
There we go.
Wednesday, August 6th.
You can just shut up, baby, because you hate America and you love abortion on an all new South Park.
The epic season continues.
South Park, new episode Wednesday, August 6th to 10 on Comedy Central.
Next day on Paramount Plus, Jack explains to me like I have no idea what's going on.
So hold on.
I just want to say that Blake was on vacation for the first three days of the week.
And like, so we basically didn't hear from him.
I'll let him tell you if he wants what he was doing.
But the one time Blake chimes into the chat when Charlie discovered that he was caricatured on South Park, Blake was very, very excited.
I found it pretty early.
No, people were, I have never in my time working with you, Charlie, been so blown up with congratulatory text.
It's like everybody was like, that's amazing.
That's the coolest thing ever.
And meanwhile, the libs are like, Charlie, they're making fun of you.
You don't get it.
Anyways.
Why aren't you mad?
Yeah.
I'm mad that you're not mad.
We're supposed to be mocking you.
You can't enjoy it.
And then you made it your profile picture.
Like you just, you totally, so you, they tried to own you and you actually owned them owning you.
And you turned it into something that's even more powerful.
And I love the reaction here because, of course, it's great.
This is the great Eric Cartman.
This is Cartman who, and this is Cartman's thing, right?
He might be mean, but he's never wrong, right?
He's always right.
And I love the catchphrase right there.
You know, You hate America and you love abortion.
It's like he's got the Holy Bible next to him.
It's a couple bottles of water.
And I'm like, man, if you want to just distill all of Charlie Kirk down in one sentence, it's like America.
I love so good.
It was the funniest line.
Shut up, baby, because you hate America and love abortions.
I love the little details.
They've got the two water bottles at the table.
That's very precise.
They got the dark blue t-shirt that Charlie's always wearing.
The security guy.
Our PC principal is kind of like the security team, of course.
I don't know if they're looking for any inspiration, but if they are, they could.
And the hair, the hair, it's perfect.
No, they're missing one thing, Blake.
The lozenges, the lozenges.
Where are the those?
Those are just about as famous as they're going to be.
Yeah, but that's not always there.
No, look, they have the step and repeat, too.
They have like the close-up logo in the background.
You know what I mean?
Like the step and repeat.
It's pretty good.
They captured the SS.
And the hair is like spot on.
Oh, the hair is spot on.
So, Charlie, we have to give you a primer in this.
I mean, you haven't watched since you were in high school.
You said to Fox News.
So let's go ahead and play a smattering of South Park 502.
Oh, boy.
What has happened to this place?
I don't recognize it anymore.
It used to be so fun and special.
Was life worth living for?
The dream is dead.
Our land is gone.
There's a hole in my heart and I can't go on.
There are too many minorities.
Minority at my water park.
My water park.
This was our land, our dream, our dream.
And they've taken it all away.
They just keep coming and coming.
Minority.
Try to go and tell the police.
But even the authority are minority at my water power.
That's crazy.
Keep playing these.
For like guys of a certain age.
Everyone knows that song.
Everyone.
I did.
So I watched it during the Bush era.
So during the Bush era, it was really big, right?
And so during the Bush era, it was really big.
And I mean, then I just got distracted by, you know, high school starting turning point.
But during Bush, it was like, it was must watch.
As I said, last time I really watched it was during high school.
It was like must-watch TV.
Like every night they would drop, every night they would drop a new episode.
Everyone would be talking about it the next day.
By the way, this is before phones, before Twitter.
Like you had to watch it, and then you came to school and talked about it, right?
It wasn't like a cooler title.
I genuinely would love to know, like, how does that feel like a show you watch, like a cartoon show you watched growing up is now it's lasted long enough to satirize you.
You are seeing yourself parodied in.
All I can say is that there are numerous things that are happening this summer and have yet to happen that I can't quite comprehend and that I can't quite grasp.
Andrew knows about one that will not be public until it actually happens.
That is kind of like a larger than life moment.
Yeah, I mean, look, I can throw every cliche out there, but when I first saw it, I just laughed.
I was like, I honestly thought, because I first saw it on some Twitter account I didn't recognize, I was like, this is 100% AI.
Like, that was my first initial reaction.
Was like, come on, this is somebody that just kind of spent a bunch of money on AI.
And then I saw other accounts post it.
Then I went to the room.
I was like, wow, this is pretty awesome.
And then the second thought I had is campus tours, me behind a table debating college kids.
We are leaving in, we are living in their feeds rent-free.
So it's a badge of honor.
And look, they're going to do their thing.
They're going to make fun of me.
Okay, fine.
That's part of public life.
Let's not take ourselves so seriously, right?
That's a signifier of how far we've come in the impact that we're making.
And I think it's, I mean, look, their other episode on Trump the other week, I mean, people had a lot of mixed reactions or negative reactions, and I'm just going to take it.
I'm going to take it all in stride.
America's small businesses rely on TikTok to succeed.
We go viral on TikTok, reaching billions of young people every year.
It's one of the reasons why we were able to win the youth vote.
Well, TikTok helps businesses attract more customers and drive growth from small batch sellers to fast-growing brands.
74% of businesses on TikTok say it's helped them scale by hiring more employees, boosting sales, and expanding to new locations.
Like Arizona Taco King, who grew from a mom-and-pop taco cart to two thriving restaurants in just a year.
Or Coco Asante, who upgraded to a larger facility and brought on more staff, letting their handcrafted chocolates reach more customers.
Or Dan O'Seasoning, who went from a one-man show to a team of 45, now supporting dozens of hardworking families.
With TikTok, small businesses are thriving, finding their customers, and expanding.
Learn more about TikTok's contribution to the U.S. economy at tick tockeconomic impact.com, tick tockeconomicimpact.com.
I think we should keep playing clips.
Keep playing.
Can I play another one?
We good.
503, Cartman joins Border Patrol.
It carries a 4,000-watt charge and is your best option for enforcing Border Patrol law.
This is going to be so sweet.
The baton is non-lethal, but powerful.
Hey, we got some.
Mexicans at two o'clock.
Let's get ready, recruits.
Must be a couple dozen of them.
This is the U.S. Border Patrol.
Stop where you are.
Turn around and get back to work.
There's too many of them.
We're gonna need backup!
Ha ha ha ha!
Huh?
Ha ha ha!
Pretty good at stopping Mexicans, son.
What's your name?
Cartman.
Eric T. Cotman.
Dedicated, patriotic, tireless.
These are the men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol.
They work around the clock protecting America's prosperity.
They are the front line in making sure Mexicans...
stay here and work.
The Border Patrol is uncompromising, diligent, and keen.
They will defend, arrest, and most importantly, let the Mexicans know that they are way better off here in the United States.
So, wait, was the joke in that episode that wasn't a good thing?
He was that like a reverse or keeping them here.
That was weird.
They were keeping them here to make them.
I feel like when the Border Patrol didn't, is that when they didn't do their job under Biden?
I don't know.
I didn't quite understand that.
So, first part I got that was under Biden.
Oh, was that this season?
I don't quite get that.
I don't think so.
It was not.
It was a previous season.
A thought I've had is it's old.
About 15 years ago, they did a similar parody, like when Glenn Beck was at the peak of his popularity.
They did like a Glenn Beck parody.
And what I remember about it is they really, like, they nailed a lot of good details on it.
Like, you know, the whiteboard Glenn would have where he would, you know, kind of tie concepts together.
They had that.
They nailed the look of the set.
So I thought I'd maybe ask Charlie, like, if they could make sure Eric Cartman uses like one line that you like to use or has like one kind of tick of your, like, what would you want them to have in it?
Um, probably what is the probably what is a woman is a pretty famous one, or um, would you like a hat?
That line has been pretty has gone pretty viral.
Or, so, who are you voting for?
Um, but no, look, I, I, there, there's, there's so many.
I would have to think about it.
Um, one of the ones that went super viral is uh, liberals are all rage and no wisdom.
And so, but I look forward to just kind of all the little small details.
And honestly, with like the security behind me, uh, it's just it goes to show, though, and I mean, it's needless to say that what we have done has really permeated the culture.
I think more so than we even realize at times, right?
As the actual, I mean, we know it's big, we know it's broad, we know it's impactful, but this is a whole lot of people.
Join you in that, Charlie.
I have you, you can just sit there and just not say anything if you want, but I mean, I have been blown away personally because I've walked with you in public places and I'll be and I have taken you to a couple places where I thought would be you'd be protected and kind of nondescript or whatever.
And it's like selfie after selfie after selfie after selfie.
And I mean, you could be in midtown Manhattan and you're getting stopped all the time for selfies, like people that love you.
Negative and positive, might I add, in mid in midtown Manhattan.
I'm sure, but I'm telling you, I've taken you to very blue places and you get stopped a lot and a lot by young, young people, like specifically in that like 15 to 25 age age range, sometimes younger even.
But those are the ones that will stop you.
And for me, it's constantly a reminder, like, whoa.
Because I've worked with you for so long.
I remember one of my first times working with Charlie, we were at the airport.
We were, you know, I forget which airport, but it was, you know, a big airport.
And there was one kid that stopped Charlie and gave him a fist bump.
One kid.
So the whole time we were walking, there was one kid, stopped you, didn't say anything, gave you a fist bump.
And I looked at Charlie, I was like, oh, wow, somebody knows you.
This is pretty cool.
And to go from there to where we're at, where I literally can't take you anywhere anymore, is nuts.
My personal favorite.
Blake, we'll play 50.
Blake, yeah, chime in.
Blake.
Yeah, my personal favorite is when you were headed back from the UK.
We're in airport security at Heathrow Airport.
And there's these like British high school aged kids.
And one of them, I hear him start talking, you, yeah, I thought that's Charlie Cook over there.
All dude, it's Troller Cook.
And I was like, oh, man, this has gone global.
Ah, I have one of those stories too, actually.
And we'll play the clip after this.
When we were at the RNC, all these like French girls, they were must have been like 18, 19 years old.
There was a whole like crew of them.
And they were at the RNC doing some sort of like, you know, cultural exchange.
And they, all they wanted to do was take a picture with Charlie.
And we, and I remember, Charlie, you were up on stage doing, we were doing our live, uh, our live stream.
And I think you had Byron Donalds and Vivek Ramaswamy on stage with you at the RNC.
And, you know, Byron gets off, and I'm like, hey, do you want to selfie with Byron?
They're like, no, it's okay.
And then Vivek gets off stage.
And I was like, do you want to selfie with Vivek?
They're like, no, that's okay.
I was like, just Charlie, like, just Charlie.
And I go, why Charlie?
And they're like, he's red pilling all the French kids.
And I was like, uh-oh.
Listen, it's like, look out, Western world.
And thank you for the good words.
But it would not be possible without, of course, the Turning Point USA chapter and all the field work, but then also the editing team and the filmers from VI, right, Brian and Terrell.
That's tough work.
It is literally a team that makes it happen.
And so we could go around and compliment each other endlessly, which is necessary.
But I have the easy part.
I get to sit there and I get to just yammer on always and ask questions out of a bunch of kids.
But honestly, the fake humility has no place.
It's not fake.
I know.
It's just real.
It's less than your job.
I know.
It's from the prep from Blake and from Andrew.
Everyone plays a huge role.
So let's play 513.
Thank you guys for saying that.
It is otherworldly because, you know, the campus stuff always had a little bit of resonance and virality, but it went from like a pocket conservative niche thing.
Like, okay, I got a couple million views to now a household, not just name, but the South Park thing, which is what's so interesting, a household concept.
Meaning, Charlie at a table debating a kid.
It's like that visual has like set in similar to like who wants to be a millionaire, right?
Like it's like a very, or like Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune, right?
It's something that when you show it, people like, oh, yeah, I know what that is.
I've seen it.
And what's so important with no major corporate backing.
That's what's so crazy.
Totally grassroots, right?
Not like it was like some major Fortune 100 company that came in.
It was like, oh, let's go make you a celebrity and let's go spend $100 million.
Nope.
Had to go raise it.
And it's been pretty amazing.
Let's play Kai Cut 513.
So just so I'm clear, guys, so Cartman is playing me.
Is that right?
So this Cartman character seems to get involved in a lot of different things, it seems.
So let's play 513.
Minding our own business and seeking things to Eric Cartman.
Okay, and what's wrong with that?
What's wrong is it doesn't make any sense.
Okay, I see.
There's a diverse female where Cartman used to be, and you don't like that.
It's not that we don't like it, it's don't you think that's weird?
I don't see a problem with it at all.
And if you boys don't think Eric can be a black woman, then maybe the problem is you.
What?
You think it's perfectly normal that Cartman is suddenly a black woman?
You probably don't like that Indian Jones got replaced by a female either, huh?
So good.
All right, one more.
One more.
Can we do the new Muslim student 504?
Let's do it.
All right, students, let's take our seats.
Everyone, try to be nice because we have a new student joining us today.
And I know you all make him feel welcome.
Say hello to Bahir Hassan Abdul Hakeem.
Hello!
Welcome to our class, Bahir.
Thank you.
Do not kiss.
Why don't you take a seat and pile empty desk for now?
Okay.
You.
Eric, what the hell is wrong with you?
What's wrong?
Has he been checked for bombs?
Eric, that's enough.
Not all Muslim people are terrorists.
No, but most of them are.
And all it takes is most of them.
All it takes is most of them.
It takes is most of them.
Right?
I mean, Charlie, you've been raging against the Islamic takeover of the West.
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
Now it all starts to make sense why everyone's congratulating me.
It's all coming into focus, the whole thing.
Because again, I've been a decade since I've watched the program.
We have to wrap here, but is there one more that we would highly recommend here?
Let's see.
I'm told that 520 is good.
Hey, what's going on?
Is your girlfriend home?
She's sort of busy right now, Miss Swanson.
Just want to tell her no hard feelings about me winning the strong woman competition.
Yeah, you already told her that at the competition.
You got a problem with me?
Because it's starting to seem like you have a problem with me.
What's going on?
Oh, hi, Heather.
I was just stopping by to make sure you're not too beat up.
Oh, that's really cool.
I'm sorry, but I have all the kids right now.
Where are the little kiddos?
I'd love to meet them.
Hey, kids.
Well, there's a lot of you.
Your mom must be a strong woman to take care of all of you.
Of course, I have the strong woman trophy, though.
Just kidding, right?
Look, why don't you just get out of here?
Sounds like someone here is a transphobe.
Don't you dare.
I'm trans people's biggest supporter.
What I think you are is a terrible sport.
Transphob, you better knock it off.
Just don't.
You're gonna upset the PC babies.
And if you dare call me a transphobe again, I'm gonna- You're gonna what?
Beat me up?
You're gonna beat me up, transphob?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
See you later, kids.
Come on over and see all Auntie Heather if you want to see what a real strong woman is like.
And with that, we say keep committing thought crimes.
Next week will not be boring.
Make sure you guys tune in.
God bless.
Talk to you soon.
Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
