[00:01:39]  And there is a lot happening right now, but you know, we're going to spend our first hour enjoying a cultural success.
[00:01:48]  And I got some great friends with me.
[00:01:50]  I got Jack Pesobic, Andrew, producer Andrew, Blake Neff, producer Blake.
[00:01:56]  Wow.
[00:01:56]  And Tyler Boyer.
[00:01:57]  We have an entire roster.
[00:01:59]  What could possibly be going on where everyone is making and carving out time?
[00:02:04]  I could tell you what's going on.
[00:02:06]  It is, we were highlighted on a certain show called South Park rather prominently.
[00:02:12]  I'm going to throw this to Jack just to kind of set the table because it's easier to have somebody else talk about yourself than you talk about yourself.
[00:02:22]  Jack, what on earth did I appear on South Park?
[00:02:27]  So sort of, right?
[00:02:28]  In this new South Park episode, there's definitely Charlie Kirk's fingerprints, Charlie Kirk's DNA, if you will, have made their way through the cultural tableau into South Park.
[00:02:40]  Charlie Kirk is mainstream now.
[00:02:42]  Charlie Kirk is played a part of the zeitgeist.
[00:02:45]  And in this episode, Eric Hartman, of course, the, you know, sort of the fast-talking and loudmouth Eric Hartman that he is, he sort of tries to become Charlie Kirk.
[00:02:58]  So he isn't, you know, doing a parody of Charlie Kirk.
[00:03:02]  What he's doing is he's trying to become sort of like the South Park elementary version of Charlie Kirk because as it turns out in the episode, Eric Hartman is competing for the Charlie Kirk Award, which shows that there are now kids all across America who are trying to become Charlie Kirk in this new South Park episode.
[00:03:25]  I mean, it's something where five years ago, 10 years ago, I never would have believed that this was something that would be on South Park.

=== South Park Parody Explained (07:01) ===

[00:03:32]  Totally.
[00:03:33]  And so let's play.
[00:03:34]  Let's play the first one here.
[00:03:35]  We have a whole gang and we're going to kind of take one at a time.
[00:03:38]  And so let's just play cut one.
[00:03:41]  And so for those that don't understand, South Park is very popular or you don't follow it.
[00:03:46]  It has a lot of cultural power.
[00:03:48]  Obviously, they're very nasty towards conservatives.
[00:03:50]  They were very nasty towards President Trump in the prior episode.
[00:03:54]  But we have this.
[00:03:55]  We have, I personally, I think a lot of it was hilarious towards me.
[00:03:59]  I think I gotta be honest.
[00:04:02]  So it was very funny, and I don't think we should have too thick of skin.
[00:04:06]  Let's play part one, which is Cut 402.
[00:04:28]  Yeah!
[00:04:28]  Well, you've obviously been taught by the Jews to have a problem with this school and with America, so let me ask you this.
[00:04:32]  What is your definition of a woman?
[00:04:34]  What is my what?
[00:04:36]  What is a woman?
[00:04:36]  It's a very simple question.
[00:04:39]  Well, a woman is a lady friend who, you know, gives you kisses.
[00:04:43]  You see, you can't answer the question, but something is male or it is female.
[00:04:45]  Both sides of scripture agree to that.
[00:04:47]  And that's just the truth.
[00:04:48]  That's another post of you totally destroyed.
[00:04:51]  Well, jeez.
[00:04:53]  Did you call the girls' soccer team a Marxist indoctrination factory?
[00:04:57]  That is correct.
[00:04:58]  We actually beat the fullest four to nothing, you know.
[00:05:00]  You can whine about American oppression all you want, but you're using an iPhone made by the free market to complain about a system that gave it to you.
[00:05:05]  Girls have it way easy in America.
[00:05:07]  That's just the truth.
[00:05:08]  Rules to get totally boomed.
[00:05:11]  Women have it good in America, just like black people do.
[00:05:13]  Black people have everything headed to the mother!
[00:05:22]  I'm sick of people stealing my stick!
[00:05:24]  If anyone around here is going to be a master debater, it's me.
[00:05:28]  So let's go!
[00:05:29]  Who wants to debate the master debater?
[00:05:31]  Let's go!
[00:05:31]  You right there!
[00:05:33]  That's the stupidest haircut I've ever seen.
[00:05:35]  You are now!
[00:05:36]  Liberty kids!
[00:05:36]  317 says it shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings.
[00:05:40]  So you can shut up, baby.
[00:05:42]  You just hate America and you love abortions.
[00:05:47]  The stupidest haircut I've ever seen.
[00:05:50]  First of all, I just think it's hilarious.
[00:05:51]  And secondly, the whole thing is like, wait, so a campus thing I've been doing for 13 years to debate random college kids has now been so important that it gets prominent primetime on Comedy Central.
[00:06:06]  I think the whole thing is just awesome and hilarious.
[00:06:09]  There's so much more I want to say about this, but the whole shtick, by the way, Comedy Central, South Park, you crushed the water.
[00:06:16]  I compulsively drink water on campus.
[00:06:18]  It's like, okay, boom.
[00:06:20]  We got to stay hydrated.
[00:06:21]  Now, the lozenges, you got to work a little.
[00:06:24]  And by the way, the Holy Bible right next to it, I even said on this campus tour, I was going to bring a Holy Bible with me to every single campus stop.
[00:06:32]  Andrew, you're just, what's on your mind?
[00:06:35]  I got to be honest.
[00:06:36]  That clip was hilarious.
[00:06:38]  That clip was great.
[00:06:39]  And it's actually of the three like long clips of you in this episode or of Cartman doing you or even you.
[00:06:46]  That's my least favorite.
[00:06:48]  So I can't wait to play the other ones.
[00:06:49]  But I'm telling you, not only were you featured in this episode, Charlie, your name was in bright lights as the Charlie Kirk Award.
[00:06:58]  So it was like Cartman was you, but he was attempting to be like Charlie Kirk.
[00:07:04]  And then there was a Charlie Kirk award that he's giving out to the best master debater.
[00:07:09]  And we have to get those shirts for you for tour, Charlie.
[00:07:13]  But it was basically an entire homage to the genre that you've popularized.
[00:07:18]  And yeah, there's other people that have gone on campus and Milo and Steven Crowder and Ben Shapiro that have done this format.
[00:07:26]  But I mean, you have taken it to such a new level.
[00:07:30]  Billions and billions of views on TikTok.
[00:07:32]  I mean, and they were so obviously parroting kind of some of your talking points.
[00:07:38]  I mean, it was amazing.
[00:07:39]  The things that the water, a lot of people are commenting on the water online because it really is something that you just keep doing.
[00:07:47]  And I was cracking up, Charlie, at one point in another clip.
[00:07:50]  We'll show it.
[00:07:51]  He literally starts taking the lid off.
[00:07:53]  And before he can get a drink and he sets it back down and grabs the mic and shuts down the person he's debating with, which you do all the time where you're almost going to take a drink.
[00:08:02]  And then you set it down to get your point in.
[00:08:04]  That's it.
[00:08:05]  Put it back in.
[00:08:06]  Putting down the mic in between the question.
[00:08:08]  That is like, that is pure art, South Park.
[00:08:11]  Like, that is a 10 out of 10.
[00:08:13]  Look at that.
[00:08:13]  Look, boom, some lib holy Bible reference.
[00:08:18]  Puts the mic down.
[00:08:19]  It's kind of like an amegulation.
[00:08:21]  But putting the mic down, that is pure.
[00:08:23]  And the girl reading off the phone, by the way, with like the angry, like, lib face, like, I'm reading so, it's, it's just, it's, it's just perfect.
[00:08:33]  Blake, your, your thoughts.
[00:08:34]  Yeah.
[00:08:35]  Yeah, it was all really good.
[00:08:36]  I enjoyed all of it.
[00:08:38]  And we don't want to obviously like hit the end.
[00:08:41]  They said a lot of mean things about various people in the episode, people who are friends of ours.
[00:08:45]  But what I will say is it was like a very flattering portrayal of Charlie to the extent that Cartman, Charlie's in the episode, but or he's he exists in the episode, but then Cartman is also just obviously copying Charlie.
[00:09:00]  Yet it's like a very kind of flattering one.
[00:09:02]  In fact, if you look online, there are liberals who are like, oh, Charlie Cook's going to really like this portrayal.
[00:09:07]  They wouldn't really be seeing him.
[00:09:09]  It was very affectionate.
[00:09:12]  The one thing that annoys me, to be honest, although it's also like funny, is they have, you know, Clyde Donovan is kind of parroting us.
[00:09:20]  But then they have Clyde say all this like, do you hate stuff in the episode?
[00:09:24]  And I thought that was like, that was like where they really misfired.
[00:09:28]  Yeah.
[00:09:28]  And I kind of wish we could have like a giant like throwdown between the people who accuse Charlie of being like a wild anti-Semite and the ones who accuse him of being like a ridiculous Israel firster and like they can annihilate each other like matter and anti-matter.
[00:09:42]  Isn't that what Clyde basically was, right?
[00:09:44]  Clyde was basically like the not, like the not Charlie.
[00:09:48]  Yeah, like it simultaneously gets Charlie ticks, but it is like the people who kind of get in on the action and try to like copy it, but they're like not as good.
[00:09:56]  They're just not as good at it.
[00:09:57]  I saw Clyde as like an amalgamation of like a bunch of different characters.
[00:10:02]  Like he's he's got like the supplement, you know, which like the which is very common.
[00:10:08]  It's, you know, whether it's Alex Jones or whether it's Joe Rogan or anybody that's considered right coded online has a supplement brand.
[00:10:17]  So that was like pretty funny, actually.
[00:10:19]  But yeah, I think all the Jew stuff, that was definitely my least favorite part.
[00:10:25]  But I also thought it was interesting that Cartman, who has the Charlie Kirk haircut, was quoting Leviticus and basically debating abortion the whole time.

=== Campus Tour Struggles (05:48) ===

[00:10:34]  So I thought that was that was actually pretty spot on.
[00:10:39]  The summer isn't just hot.
[00:10:40]  It's historic.
[00:10:41]  Flash flood warnings are at a 40-year high and it's not slowing down.
[00:10:45]  Town's underwater, roads washed out.
[00:10:47]  And in every crisis zone, the same scene, crowds standing in line, waiting, waiting for bottled water, waiting for food, waiting for someone to show up and save them.
[00:10:56]  They tell you that help is on the way, but what if it's not?
[00:10:58]  What if help takes days or doesn't come at all?
[00:11:01]  You think the system's built to protect you?
[00:11:03]  They can barely handle one emergency, let alone dozens.
[00:11:05]  I don't know about you, but I'm not going to be the one caught empty-handed.
[00:11:09]  And right now, my Patriot Supply is giving away four weeks of emergency food.

[00:11:27]  That is mypatriotsupply.com slash Kirk.
[00:11:32]  Tyler, I want to just ask Tyler Boyers here, runs Turning Point Action, has been around for a decade at Turning Point USA.
[00:11:39]  Tyler, when you first started, could you ever imagine that this journey of our work on college campuses would be not just a one-liner, but prominently displayed on a major show with South Park, a cultural institution?
[00:11:53]  Tyler, before we play more pieces of tape, just reflect on the cultural powerhouse and how we are living rent-free in the feeds of the producers and the writers of South Park.
[00:12:04]  Tyler.
[00:12:04]  Charlie, I was just thinking about this because you're not far from a campus that I was just reminiscing I had gone to all by myself and there was nobody there and you're hauling out tables.
[00:12:15]  I mean, Charlie can remember all this, hauling out folding tables and being out there.
[00:12:20]  And we've talked about this frequently about how crazy it is that we just go out there and there'd be nobody, right?
[00:12:27]  Like you, you would, it would like an hour would go by and like 15 kids would go by and one would kind of stop and like flick the stuff off your table and you'd have to try to engage them a little bit.
[00:12:39]  Yep.
[00:12:40]  And now it's like it's taken over TikTok.
[00:12:44]  It's taken over all social media.
[00:12:45]  You've transformed the entire dialogue that exists in America between young men and like crazy woke, you know, psychotic young people who are who have been indoctrinated and they're changing their minds every single day from this.
[00:13:03]  And now for it to be, I couldn't even imagine because I, you know, when I've been on those trips 10 years ago, Charlie, like going to every campus, I would stay up late at night and the only thing on all night long is South Park on Comedy Central.
[00:13:16]  So I would kind of like turn it on and do work and zone out.
[00:13:20]  And for all of this to be all in like one place now where they're like actually, you know, revering Charlie Kirk on South Park is just like so mind-boggling to me.
[00:13:29]  Like I don't even feel anything right now.
[00:13:32]  It's crazy.
[00:13:32]  It's like for me to depersonalize it and Blake or Andrew or Jack can chime in.
[00:13:39]  The thing I'm actually most proud of is the concept.
[00:13:42]  Okay, the name is obviously cool, but the fact that a concept, Andrew, or Andrew chimed in, that Andrew, you remember when you and I were like, hey, we should do more of these campus tour stops?
[00:13:54]  They kind of come up to the mic, we film it, we put it on the internet.
[00:13:57]  That we didn't not just go viral, but we created a recognizable genre, like a genre of viral videos.
[00:14:05]  And the editing style.
[00:14:07]  Like I said, there's other people that have gone to campus for sure.
[00:14:10]  Nobody to the extent, nobody had the infrastructure like Turning Point USA with all the campus chapters that were able to, because people don't understand, you have to be a registered student group in order to reserve the space and get the permitting.
[00:14:21]  And I mean, we have thousands of chapters with hundreds of thousands of students all across the country.
[00:14:27]  And so it's really, there's nobody that can do it at the scale that Turning Point can do.
[00:14:32]  But even the editing style that our team that's watching us do this right now has been a part of creating that split screen effect.
[00:14:39]  I mean, these are their ideas of how to edit these videos.
[00:14:42]  And it's fantastic to watch them even capture that and to emulate that.
[00:14:48]  But yeah, just when you think about it, I mean, Charlie, I remember when we were problem solving what to do on campus because we would have 3,000, 4,000 tickets, you know, by students that would ask for tickets to these events.
[00:15:02]  And then the campuses would give us like a tiny little room that would seat 400 kids and they wouldn't let half the people in.
[00:15:09]  The people would be mad at us like we had done something wrong.
[00:15:12]  And so I'll never forget it.
[00:15:14]  It was out of necessity that this like quad image that is now permeating culture was born where it was like, hey, let's just go set it up in the quad and we'll put loudspeakers up and a mic and we'll just kind of do it out where everybody can come and you don't need to have a seat or a ballroom or a lecture hall and they can't screw with us out there.
[00:15:34]  And I remember when it was at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in Blue, California in the spring of 2024, it was one of the first campus stops and about a thousand, 1,500 kids show up and they just started singing the national anthem organically out of nowhere.
[00:15:51]  And I remember seeing that clip and I had chills and I said, Charlie, something's happening.
[00:15:55]  And you looked at me and you were like, it's like something is really happening.
[00:16:00]  And people, it took the news media like another year to figure it out.
[00:16:04]  But we knew exactly like when it congealed, when it like came to a head and we could feel the energy really gathering.
[00:16:13]  And the fact is that, you know, much credit to the team because as big as the fall semester was ahead of the election, spring semester was twice as big online.

=== Embracing Contrarian Humor (02:37) ===

[00:16:23]  That's exactly right.
[00:16:24]  And look, we're conservatives.
[00:16:25]  We have good senses of humor.
[00:16:26]  You guys can make fun of us.
[00:16:27]  We just kind of roll our eyes.
[00:16:28]  We say whatever.
[00:16:29]  And honestly, some of the one-liners, they kind of captured some of the stuff.
[00:16:33]  And we're going to get to the funniest parts have yet to come where when I saw this, I literally, I was like, not just laughing out loud.
[00:16:41]  I was laughing uncontrollably because just the way the best humor is that it's a little skewed from the truth.
[00:16:47]  It's just like a little bit more of a push of an exaggeration.
[00:16:50]  And I think that they, I think that they hit the mark on some of the other parts of it.
[00:16:54]  It's kind of shrug your shoulders, whatever.
[00:16:58]  Charlie Kirk here, crime is skyrocketing.
[00:17:00]  You may already own a firearm, but before you face the financial and emotional weight of pulling the trigger, consider Burna.
[00:17:06]  Burna's less lethal launchers fire tear gas and kinetic rounds designed to incapacitate attackers for up to 40 minutes, giving you time to escape and call for help without deadly consequences.
[00:17:18]  I use Burna.
[00:17:19]  My family all has them and now meet the new compact launcher, an amazing product.
[00:17:23]  Sleek, slim, and hits like a sledgehammer, but the size of a smartphone, it's perfect for concealed carry.
[00:17:29]  Comfortable, discreet, and confidence-building.
[00:17:31]  It fires at 400 feet per second with 41 joules per square inch of stopping power.
[00:17:36]  That's enough force to halt a threat cold about the legal and moral complexities of lethal force.
[00:17:41]  What I love about Burna is they're proudly American.
[00:17:43]  Over 80% of their compact launchers components are sourced in America, and each unit is hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
[00:17:49]  Best of all, Burna is legal in all 50 states.
[00:17:52]  No background checks ships directly to your door.
[00:17:54]  Trusted by hundreds of police departments and government agencies around the world.
[00:17:58]  Visit Burna to learn more.
[00:17:59]  That is B-Y-R-N-A.com.
[00:18:04]  And Blake, can you mention, Blake, you put something in the chat just super quick.
[00:18:08]  You say, Blake, you said TikTok is why this episode happened.
[00:18:11]  I totally agree with that.
[00:18:12]  We decided to embrace it in kind of a contrarian way.
[00:18:16]  In fact, I was very anti-TikTok.
[00:18:18]  And Blake, you kind of challenged my assumptions.
[00:18:20]  You were like, well, why don't we just call it their bluff?
[00:18:22]  So you deserve a lot of credit for that, Blake, for kind of being, I don't know, like annoyingly contrarian in our group chat.
[00:18:27]  But Blake, can you comment on that?
[00:18:29]  Because TikTok was one of the reasons why this cultural victory happened.
[00:18:35]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:18:35]  I mean, it was credit also to Republicans for fighting back because I think them basically threatening to ban TikTok and saying we're ready to do that made them much more willing to play ball and be pro-free speech, actually.
[00:18:48]  And I just want to also shout out Ryan because Ryan was also a big advocate on that one.
[00:18:54]  But I think the reason I say that TikTok is Ryan is the maestro there.
[00:18:58]  Ryan's amazing at it.

=== TikTok Cultural Victory (14:47) ===

[00:19:00]  But it really set that type, which is people getting those digestible clips where, you know, that's what they're parodying in the episode.
[00:19:07]  You know, woke student totally destroyed.
[00:19:10]  And so you get a good clip, a good exchange between Charlie and a liberal student on campus, whether it's on, you know, abortion or Trump or January 6th.
[00:19:20]  Do you know what the funniest part about all this is?
[00:19:22]  Charlie and Andrew, Andrew Fellier remembers this.
[00:19:24]  Remember when YouTube was shutting us down for saying those things?
[00:19:28]  Remember when we were highlighting?
[00:19:30]  We were saying, woke student destroyed.
[00:19:32]  And they're like, we don't like you saying that.
[00:19:34]  And so we actually had to change.
[00:19:37]  The earliest clips that we did from campus, they didn't like that.
[00:19:42]  And now it's great.
[00:19:43]  Yeah.
[00:19:44]  Now it's just, it's sucks.
[00:19:45]  So let's play this you can parody it.
[00:19:47]  Yeah.
[00:19:49]  All right.
[00:19:49]  Let's play the next one.
[00:19:50]  And Jack, I want you to react to it.
[00:19:52]  The next one is, make sure I get three cuts here correctly.
[00:19:56]  It is 403, where it gets a little bit like kind of whatever, but elements of it are hilarious.
[00:20:03]  Parts of it are very funny.
[00:20:05]  Play cut 403.
[00:20:06]  Watch as Eric Cartman shuts down these woke liberal students.
[00:20:09]  Oh my God, what makes you think you have the right to say what I do with my body?
[00:20:14]  Let me ask you something.
[00:20:15]  If a pregnant woman is killed and the baby dies, too, why is the killer charged with a double habitat?
[00:20:19]  Well, because people have different beliefs.
[00:20:22]  It's not about belief.
[00:20:23]  It's about truth.
[00:20:24]  Science confirms life begins at conception.
[00:20:25]  So yes, Jeremiah 1.5 says, before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, but it's just morality that demands we protect the most vulnerable.
[00:20:30]  So let me ask you, when do you think life begins?
[00:20:34]  Eric, are you all right in there?
[00:20:36]  Yeah, I'm fine, mom.
[00:20:36]  I'm just in here master debating.
[00:20:39]  Look, Eric, that's enough.
[00:20:40]  Let's get out of the bathroom.
[00:20:42]  I can't, mom.
[00:20:43]  I'm master debating to these young college girls.
[00:20:45]  That's very naughty, Eric.
[00:20:47]  Stop it.
[00:20:47]  Mom, I finally got sponsored by a protein powder, so I got to master debate for a couple more hours.
[00:20:51]  Leviticus 9-1-2-8.
[00:20:52]  Let me alone.
[00:20:55]  Yeah.
[00:20:56]  Yeah.
[00:20:56]  Yeah, but a body growing inside a woman's body is not her body.
[00:20:59]  It's a completely separate group.
[00:21:02]  Eric, what are you doing?
[00:21:05]  I'm sorry, mom.
[00:21:06]  You told me to go to sleep, but I started master debating again.
[00:21:09]  This is really getting to be a problem, Eric.
[00:21:11]  Mom, you don't understand.
[00:21:13]  I'm getting really good at this.
[00:21:14]  I have my arguments down rock solids.
[00:21:16]  These young college girls are totally unprepared, so I can just destroy them and also edit out all the ones that actually argue back well.
[00:21:21]  It just feels so good.
[00:21:22]  I understand it feels good, but that doesn't mean you do it all the time.
[00:21:27]  I'm sorry, mommy.
[00:21:28]  Put the computer away and leave those poor college girls alone.
[00:21:32]  Okay, I won't master debate anymore, Tonet.
[00:21:36]  Look, look, you can call it reproductive rights, but be honest, if the baby could speak, it would fight for its right to live.
[00:21:41]  Eric Cartman!
[00:21:42]  I'm sorry, ma'am.
[00:21:44]  My favorite part in all of that is they.
[00:21:46]  I wonder if they literally just type the right lines because they're good arguments.
[00:21:50]  Like, they don't have him making a draw man argument.
[00:21:52]  They got the verses right.
[00:21:54]  The Leviticus one, I'm not sure.
[00:21:56]  Jeremiah, what Jeremiah 1-5, before I formed you in the wound, I knew you before you were born.
[00:22:00]  I consecrated you.
[00:22:01]  I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.
[00:22:03]  It's like they got the verse right.
[00:22:05]  Oh, my goodness.
[00:22:07]  Jack, Jack, you're waiting patiently internationally.
[00:22:09]  I want to make sure, Jack, you get some time to riff here.
[00:22:12]  Jack, what is your reaction to this broadly?
[00:22:14]  And then more specifically.
[00:22:15]  Yeah, no.
[00:22:16]  So, yeah, I'm in Poland right now.
[00:22:17]  We had the inauguration, big W.
[00:22:19]  And what's interesting here to me is the meta narrative that they're playing into here, where they're talking about how, you know, people, of course, know what the joke is, master debater.
[00:22:32]  What's Cartman doing in the bathroom?
[00:22:34]  What's Cartman doing late at night on the laptop?
[00:22:37]  But the meta narrative here is that online politics and debate and engaging in this type of thing has become so big across the internet.
[00:22:49]  Whether you're on the left or you're on the right, you know, Charlie makes a video and then someone attacks Charlie and Corey Booker shares that video.
[00:22:57]  That was something that just happened earlier this week.
[00:23:00]  And that's bleeding over into the discourse.
[00:23:02]  And so now you're seeing people do that from both sides of the aisle.
[00:23:07]  And so it's like that's become the new national pastime, sort of these TikTok debates and stitches and going back and forth, even more so.
[00:23:16]  And of course, they're playing, you know, they're playing with it in a funny way, but they're saying that it's become so addictive that it's even more addictive than other, you know, online behaviors that had been in the past for Eric Cartman to the point where his mom's got to go in and get it.
[00:23:30]  And I think what they're getting at here is that that is what's drawing so many more and more people to interact in these ways online.
[00:23:39]  And it's a totally new kind of behavior that's even gone.
[00:23:42]  So yeah, of course, they get into the campus stuff, but even beyond that, it's a whole online culture now, too.
[00:23:49]  Andrew, do you want to chime in?
[00:23:52]  I love what Jack is saying.
[00:23:53]  And to your point, Charlie, because Jack is chiming in from abroad and making time for this.
[00:24:00]  I wanted, you know, I was talking about that moment from Cal Poly where they just spontaneously started singing the national anthem.
[00:24:08]  And that was a real moment.
[00:24:10]  It was a real moment where we realized this momentum was growing.
[00:24:13]  And so, like, let's just keep putting out, you know, tense in the middle of the quad.
[00:24:19]  Jack was there and had your back, Charlie, for one of the most viral clips of the fall run-up to the election.
[00:24:27]  And that was at Penn State.
[00:24:30]  And Charlie, you lost your voice.
[00:24:32]  I'll never forget you tried to interview Megan Kelly on the Charlie Kirk show, and you couldn't talk because your voice was gone.
[00:24:38]  And the way this whole event worked out was just everybody saw this sea of red hats.
[00:24:44]  And Jack was there to have your back because you couldn't talk.
[00:24:47]  Jack flew in, got there for you.
[00:24:51]  You literally could not talk.
[00:24:52]  So let's go.
[00:24:53]  This is an homage to you and Jack and the role that you both played in the run-up to the election 410.
[00:25:18]  So a little hat tip, a MAGA hat tip to both of you on that one.
[00:25:23]  Yeah, that was wild.
[00:25:24]  I mean, thank you.
[00:25:25]  I remember Penn State and really just any, you know, I was a college Republican guy in the past.
[00:25:29]  You know, when I was coming up, we didn't have Turning Point USA.
[00:25:33]  And to think that you would see a campus crowd like that at any Pennsylvania college, let alone Penn State in an election year key race, which obviously went on to be very, very successful.
[00:25:46]  Pennsylvania was a state that put us over the top in 2024.
[00:25:50]  I would say it was that event being there with Charlie, seeing the response.
[00:25:55]  That was when I knew I said, guys, we're going to win Pennsylvania.
[00:25:58]  Well, we almost won Center County where Penn State is based.
[00:26:01]  And that event is a big movement for it.
[00:26:04]  It's a control county, like that in that part of the country or that part of the state.
[00:26:08]  So like that is not a state that's ever competitive.
[00:26:11]  I would always tell people, like, don't waste your time in Center County.
[00:26:13]  Like, go, you know, go blow out like Lancaster and York County and like, you know, Amish Country, all these areas.
[00:26:19]  And then, of course, the Southwest with the Trump vote.
[00:26:22]  And suddenly Charlie Kirk is putting Center County in play.
[00:26:25]  All right.
[00:26:26]  I want to play the last and remaining and probably the biggest.
[00:26:28]  So I was told going in by Brian, my South Park Sherpa, and by many other people that if they say your name, that's a big deal in South Park World.
[00:26:38]  Would you guys all agree with that?
[00:26:39]  It's one thing to have him kind of play you and kind of do the theme.
[00:26:43]  It's a whole different threshold if they say the name because that's a rare, I don't even think they said Glenn Beck's name.
[00:26:50]  Maybe they did.
[00:26:51]  Maybe they didn't.
[00:26:52]  I'm not trying to compare.
[00:26:53]  I'm just saying that it had not.
[00:26:55]  Yeah.
[00:26:56]  And so the name is not always said.
[00:26:57]  So that's what I was told going in.
[00:26:58]  I was like, okay, great.
[00:26:59]  I haven't watched the show in quite some time.
[00:27:02]  And then this hilarious.
[00:27:04]  I think this is the funniest of all of them.
[00:27:06]  The exchange is hilarious.
[00:27:08]  Play cut 404.
[00:27:10]  Hello and welcome to the third annual Charlie Kirk Award for Young Master Debaters.
[00:27:18]  More and more young people today are learning to fight for America through master debation.
[00:27:23]  We're here to honor the recent efforts of a brave young man who has been furiously master debating for the past several days and has won himself not only this trophy, but also an all-expenses paid vacation to a beautiful five-star resort.
[00:27:41]  He has proven himself the true champion.
[00:27:44]  Please welcome the best young master debater of our time, Clyde Donovan.
[00:27:50]  Clive!
[00:27:55]  No!
[00:27:55]  Thank my drink to that darling!
[00:27:57]  Come on, Eric, let's go!
[00:28:00]  Thanks, everyone.
[00:28:01]  The Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, and I don't know, lesbians are an abomination of God.
[00:28:07]  You all stole my shtick!
[00:28:09]  Yes!
[00:28:14]  Sorry, you should have just cut it right there.
[00:28:17]  Rights Act was a huge mistake, and the lesbians are an abomination of God.
[00:28:20]  It's like when you go 10 to 15%, a little bit beyond.
[00:28:25]  And credit to the writers.
[00:28:27]  They know my stuff.
[00:28:28]  Like, I've kind of been known for saying the Civil Rights Act was a mistake, and they just push it a little bit more.
[00:28:34]  And honestly, I was like, credit to you guys.
[00:28:37]  I think that's absolutely hilarious.
[00:28:40]  We have a minute here.
[00:28:42]  Blake, do you want to riff on that?
[00:28:43]  Super.
[00:28:44]  Let's put up, I think it's 408.
[00:28:46]  I want the little, the image they have.
[00:28:48]  It's hard to see in the clip we have.
[00:28:49]  They have the little Charlie Kirk award, which is a case there.
[00:28:53]  We're definitely making it.
[00:28:54]  We're going to make that.
[00:28:55]  We're producing this.
[00:28:58]  We should start giving them out at CLS.
[00:29:00]  Every person that comes into the office, we should just give one to.
[00:29:04]  You leave with a Charlie Kirk award.
[00:29:06]  We're going to have a whole poster of Cartman Charlie Kirk.
[00:29:10]  That is going to happen.
[00:29:11]  No doubt.
[00:29:14]  It's hard to believe it was even possible, but the Democrat-run states are now more pro-abortion than ever and will only get worse unless you join me standing for life.
[00:29:23]  This is Charlie Kirk, and we're saving babies right now with Pre-Born.
[00:29:27]  Ultrasounds save lives.
[00:29:29]  That's why Pre-Born gives free ultrasounds to girls and women.
[00:29:32]  It's the truth they truly deserve and it doubles the chance that she'll choose life.
[00:29:36]  $140 gives five mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies.
[00:29:40]  $280 can save 10 babies and just $28 a month can save a baby a month for less than a dollar a day.
[00:29:47]  And a $15,000 gift will provide an ultrasound machine that will save lives for years to come.
[00:29:52]  Ultrasounds save lives.
[00:29:54]  It's the truth they truly deserve and it doubles the chance that she'll choose life.
[00:29:58]  Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, that opportunity is just a phone call or click away.
[00:30:03]  Call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
[00:30:08]  That's 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
[00:30:16]  Blake and Tyler, and then I want to make sure Jack chimes in because Jack is in a unusual time zone right now.
[00:30:21]  Do you think this plot is to be continued?
[00:30:23]  And please, just someone also just make the case.
[00:30:25]  How big is this for an older American that doesn't watch South Park?
[00:30:29]  They don't care.
[00:30:29]  They say, why are you guys spending an hour on this?
[00:30:31]  Can you give, like, Blake, can you give an equivalent?
[00:30:33]  This is the equivalent of going on like the tonight show or going on, can you give like some sort of an equivalent?
[00:30:39]  Do you know what I mean?
[00:30:40]  Well, for someone that says, I don't get it.
[00:30:42]  I'll say this, Charlie, too.
[00:30:44]  South Park, I think, debuted when I was in elementary school.
[00:30:48]  So for the entire lifetime, and it was kind of for older siblings.
[00:30:53]  Every animated show that debuted in like the 90s just never ended.
[00:30:56]  Like, I think Family Guy's still going.
[00:30:57]  South Park's still going.
[00:30:58]  The Simpsons are still going.
[00:31:00]  It was the end of the 90s.
[00:31:02]  I can't remember exactly when it was, but I remember older siblings being like, if you're cool, you watch South Park as an older kid.
[00:31:09]  And like, it's just stuck with millennials through our entire.
[00:31:13]  And I think that's what's kept it alive.
[00:31:14]  It's reinvented itself several times.
[00:31:16]  So you're at the point where it's probably the most culturally relevant animated show, at least in related to politics topics.
[00:31:24]  Edgy.
[00:31:25]  And has, yeah, and it's slightly edgy and has been for over 20 years at this point.
[00:31:29]  For millennials in particular.
[00:31:31]  But Gen Z watches.
[00:31:33]  Yeah, because it's like, it's the little brother thing.
[00:31:35]  Again, it's like just cool because it's just been around and it's funny.
[00:31:38]  It's edgy.
[00:31:39]  And it's, you know, it's, it's what's kept Comedy Central alive, quite frankly, in a lot of, in a lot of respects.
[00:31:45]  So I, I mean, it, this is just such a big deal.
[00:31:48]  Like, that's why when it happened, when we saw it happen, our entire chat blew up.
[00:31:54]  And it's like, most of us are millennials, right?
[00:31:56]  And we're just like, Charlie, you have to recognize this is so cool.
[00:32:02]  And that was my, my theory was they were going to revere Charlie because the young men who watch the show love Charlie.
[00:32:10]  And so that was my theory was that they weren't going to sabotage Charlie Kirk in the show.
[00:32:16]  And they played by Tyler.
[00:32:19]  I have a data point on this.
[00:32:21]  I got more congratulation texts than when we won the election in November.
[00:32:29]  I got more.
[00:32:30]  Oh my gosh, this is so cool.
[00:32:32]  Congratulations.
[00:32:33]  Charlie must be over the moon, whatever.
[00:32:36]  When the South Park trailer came out for this episode, than when we won the election.
[00:32:40]  That's how big of a deal it was.
[00:32:42]  Jack, all right.
[00:32:43]  Jack, Jack, close us out strong remotely.
[00:32:46]  Thank you for taking the time, Jack.
[00:32:47]  Yeah, I mean, look, we're talking around it.
[00:32:49]  You know, for Gen Y millennials, this is the Seinfeld, right?
[00:32:53]  This is like being a celebrity guest appearance on Seinfeld as big as Seinfeld was in the 90s going in.
[00:33:01]  Really, Seinfeld ended right around the time that South Park started.
[00:33:04]  So it kind of makes sense that a lot of that irreverence would go into the new series.
[00:33:10]  I was a South Park guy.
[00:33:12]  I think for like the first 20 years of the show, I watched every single episode, like the week it came out.
[00:33:17]  It was appointment viewing back when appointment viewing was a thing.
[00:33:20]  So the fact that like I know a guy who is like featured on the show, it's just, it's very meta.
[00:33:27]  It's very meta.
[00:33:28]  Hey, Jack, I have to do two things before we close out.
[00:33:31]  And first of all, I want to give kudos to Michael.
[00:33:35]  He's one of our technical producers.
[00:33:36]  He actually did a custom turning point drawing 411.
[00:33:40]  Throw it up.
[00:33:40]  We got to show.
[00:33:41]  Look at that.
[00:33:42]  The 47 hats.
[00:33:43]  The messages, the 47 hats, start a chapter.
[00:33:46]  That's very good, Michael.

=== Wearing The Master Debater Shirt (01:55) ===

[00:33:47]  That's very good.
[00:33:48]  And it's even got like the rumble thing in the background and the microphone.
[00:33:52]  It's so good.
[00:33:53]  That's great.
[00:33:54]  Did he use AI or did he do that himself?
[00:33:56]  That's very good.
[00:33:57]  I don't know.
[00:33:58]  Construction paper.
[00:34:00]  By hand?
[00:34:01]  Michael, that no, he said by hand in my ear.
[00:34:03]  Michael, you are an artist.
[00:34:06]  Yeah.
[00:34:06]  So that's one thing.
[00:34:07]  Go on, Andrew.
[00:34:08]  Hat tip to Michael.
[00:34:09]  And then throw up 412.

[00:34:51]  Exactly.
[00:34:52]  You guys are unbelievable.
[00:34:53]  This is real, by the way.
[00:34:54]  This is not a joke.
[00:34:55]  Buy the shirt.
[00:34:56]  Charlie, you got to do it in Colorado.
[00:34:59]  Yeah, well, for sure.
[00:35:00]  Yeah, no, I'm well aware.
[00:35:03]  So anyway, I want to say I thought the episode was very mean and nasty to people I like, like Christy Num and JD Vance and Trump.
[00:35:11]  But towards me, honestly, like the part of it was whatever.
[00:35:15]  Part of it was absolutely hilarious.
[00:35:17]  And I got the little, I got to tell you, the water bottle was, that was next level notice, man.
[00:35:22]  I got to tell you, the little sip and the mic going down the Bible to the side, Jeremiah 1.5, chef's kiss.
[00:35:30]  Pretty good.
