ThoughtCrime Ep. 1: Prideteenth, Topless at the White House, Beeping Smoke Alarms
Charlie and Jack are proud to reveal an all-new weekly panel discussion show, THOUGHTCRIME. Charlie, Poso, Tyler Bowyer, and Blake Neff come together to weigh questions of global importance, including:-Why didn't any Republican candidates besides Vivek show up to support Trump in Florida?-Some found a topless trans person at the White House hot, is that gay?-Charlie is educated about what a "glory hole" is, but why does Fox News want employees reading about them?-What's the deal with beeping ...
Something we're doing every Thursday nights at 8pm Eastern on Rumble.
Rumble.com called Thought Crimes with Charlie Kirk and Jack Posobiec.
We also have a whole team of experts talking about things you are not allowed to talk about.
Like smoke detector chirp culture.
We talk about the tranny at the White House and all sorts of stuff.
It's a free-flowing conversation.
There's some rather graphic elements of this conversation, so this is not exactly homeschool friendly.
And so, just giving you fair warning.
Trigger warning.
It's a little R-rated here.
I do my best to referee it, and I fail miserably.
But I think you'll enjoy it.
Yeah, we talk over ourselves a little bit too much, but if you're just looking for a fun, thought-provoking, boundary-pushing venue, this is for you.
Thought Crimes with Jack Posobiec and Charlie Kirk.
You can find it live every Thursday on Rumble.com.
R-U-M-B-L-E.com.

That's tpaction.com.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His spirit, his love of this country.
He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
That's why we are here.
Okay, welcome.
Thought Crimes with Mr. Jack.
We have Tyler and Blake.
Everybody say hello.
Hello, hello.
So everybody, welcome to this new show that we're doing.
Familiar set, but a different vibe.
Tyler's tearing apart the set while we're on the set.
And I'm going to tell you why we're running a little bit late.
It's not my fault.
It's unbelievable what's happening here.
But every Thursday at 8 p.m.
Eastern, to the best of our ability to hit that with precision, Jack and I are going to have thought crime conversations and we have some amazing stuff.
In store for you tonight.
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
And you know me.
You know Jack.
You know Tyler Boyer.
Blake is with us.
Very high IQ, Blake.
And we're really honored to have Blake on our team.
He's great.
And the most, let's just say, awful people in the world try to destroy Blake's life.
And we're not gonna let that happen.
And Blake, welcome, man.
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
We love Blake and he does a great job.
So I'm late, by the way.
And by the way, do you guys know Road Rage is up huge in the country right now?
I mean, I live in the D.C.
area, and it's been really bad.
People are shooting, getting shot, people getting killed.
It's crazy.
The introduction of Californians into our society here in Arizona is unbelievable.
So, you know, we're booking here.
We had another thing before this, and we make an appropriate right-hand turn.
This is Phoenix, Arizona.
Obeying the rules of the road, as Charlie Kirk always does.
Obviously.
And this Prius.
Right?
Literally just like pulls up next to us and I'm texting and all of a sudden, you know, Mikey who's driving is like, oh boy, this guy gets out of his car and comes up to our car and starts banging on our window because apparently we cut him off and starts jet on the door.
And like, it's this whole thing.
We don't get out, but we had to take a detour because he started following us.
Afterwards, the Prius guy started following you?
Yes.
Fentanyl use is up in Arizona.
This guy was on something.
Prius might have wanted to eat your face.
Oh no, this guy was, I mean, he was like wanting to murder us.
This is California stuff.
I mean, it was, I've not seen rage in those eyes since Hillary Clinton's like final campaign speech.
So not a Turning Point member then.
No, this guy's not a fan.
No, no.
And he was actually... Do you think he recognized you or no?
No, I mean, what's funny is he was a mechanic and those muscular class guys usually really like the show and everything because you could tell he was... He's a mechanic that drives a Prius?
Yeah, wait, wait.
He had a mechanic uniform on though.
He had like, you know, sat there and he was like greased up a little bit.
Okay.
Beard, the whole thing.
Maybe it wasn't his Prius.
It might not have been his Prius, but this guy was having a really bad day.
So we had to take a detour and we're late.
So we apologize, but road rage is up.
I got, I got flipped off by an Amazon truck driver the other day.
Okay, well, flicked off, I mean, that's nothing new.
But getting out of the car at a stoplight?
But by Amazon, no, that's crazy.
That's legit crazy.
I've never had that happen in my life, where they get out of the car and they start just... Yeah, that's crazy.
Pulling on your door.
That's California stuff.
Coming after you.
That's Long Beach stuff.
That's like zombie movies stuff or something.
And then it's just like smacking on your window, like, holy cow.
You've got the rage virus.
Yeah, so anyway.
So the way this show's gonna work is we are kind of in the format of, what is it called, part in the interruption or around the horn?
Part in the interruption, right?
And by the way, just for all you guys, this is exclusively on Rumble, so you've got to download the Rumble app.
If not, it is an amazing platform.
Rumble is growing like crazy, so we're going to go topic by topic, pardon the interruption style, and we're going to start kind of with political stuff, and then as time goes on, as you spend more and more time with us, we will go more into the place of saying things you are not allowed to say.
So we are going to start with really—everything will be interesting, but by the end of this, we are going to have a deep web reveal, Jack.
I just, I just want to say that I've spent a lot of time on 4chan trying to like find stuff that Charlie's definitely never heard of before, but then also stuff that won't get me too much canceled for talking about publicly.
So we're going to, we're trying to find, you know, really thread the needle.
We're going to thread the needle.
I got to give credit to the Charlie Kirk Show though.
We push the boundaries on what is acceptable pretty often.
The Overton window has been shifting.
If you saw the chats with Jack though, it's like every other message is 4chan stuff.
Like, look what I found!
Deep web stuff!
I say, what were the ones that weren't 4chan?
So there's a lot that you've missed out on, but this is like where we set this up.
ThoughtCrime, you're going to see a lot of stuff and we're going to talk about a lot of stuff that Well, because we needed somewhere to be able to talk about these things that isn't directly tied to, you know, we do the news of the day.
We knew the news cycle.
Let's just be honest to the audience.
This is just therapy for us.
Okay.
This is basically cathartic that we decided to air.
But we needed to have a separate place.
It's a telegram chat that becomes a show.
We were going to do it anyway, so we might as well monetize it.
All right.
And by the way, we're allowed to say since we're on Rumble, we can say Tranny.
We can say climate change is vastly overrated.
The 2020 election was stolen.
Stop it, Blake.
Vaccines, probably.
The mRNA vaccine probably hurts you.
What else?
I think you covered all of it.
Oh, there's a lot more than that.
Oh, yeah.
Zelensky is a thug.
Tranny.
All right.
So we have a lot more to get through.
Wait, Zelensky's a tranny?
Oh, well, I don't know.
Those are two separate things that are not necessarily true.
What about Big Globe?
Are we going to take down Big Globe?
Big Globe?
Big Globe.
You know, the world might be flat, actually.
Are you saying, are we going to expose?
Wait, wait, wait.
Blake, is it time to expose?
The Earth is not flat, everybody.
No, it's time to expose the Globetards.
Let's just be clear.
The Earth is not flat.
This could be proven.
But it is hollow.
No, it's not.
If the earth was not flat, why doesn't the water fall off?
All right, let's start with the first topic, everybody.
Find my GOP.
All right, so I sent out a tweet minutes after the indictment of Donald Trump was announced last week, and I said, hey, everybody should suspend their campaign.
Go down to Florida.
I was mocked by a lot of DeSantis influencers.
I was mocked by a lot of Normie folks.
And it turns out that I think I was on to something, if I may say so myself.
Vivek Ramaswamy was there and received a lot of coverage.
Where was everybody?
Tyler Boyer, where were the Republicans on that famous day?
This was Asa Hutchinson.
He was the only person that yelled at you because he doesn't have followers.
That was the only guy.
Where was Chris Christie?
Chris Christie, if they would have shut down the Dunkin' Donuts, if they would have indicted the Dunkin' Donuts manager in New Jersey, So here, so we actually went through.
Well, so, so Charlie, here's what we did.
So we actually went through over post-millennial and we, and they, they put together a great report on just, Hey, where, where was everybody today?
Where were they?
Governor Ron DeSantis, very interestingly, and I hadn't even noticed this until as much as I'm on Twitter, right?
That until I noticed he took the day off of social media.
He was completely absent.
He went black.
On social, so no tweets.
I mean, he had put out a statement earlier, you know, to be fair, but he took the entire day off of social media, which was very, I would say, interesting, especially in this environment, especially with the heavy lift that he's trying to do to capture Trump voters and then eventually hope to surpass Donald Trump in the polls that he, he wasn't, he wasn't present at all.
Mike Pence sat down with the Wall Street Journal in New York for a Wall Street Journal round robin interview.
Nikki Haley, Newport Beach for a $1,000 a plate fundraiser, Asa Hutchinson on ABC, every conservative's favorite ABC, Chris Christie, Town Hall, again, with the only network the conservatives love more than ABC, CNN, of course, calling Trump a three-time loser, and Senator Tim Scott decided to win over new voters in the state that he already represents.
He stayed home in South Carolina.
But I mean, let's just play this out.
So let's pretend for a second that we were all senior advisors to the Ron DeSantis campaign.
I'm sorry that the feed keeps on freezing.
We're getting a lot of emails on it.
We're doing our best to fix that.
So let's pretend we were advising Governor Ron DeSantis.
How easy it would have been for DeSantis to show up and say, I'm not going to put up with this in my state.
This is a bunch of nonsense and I don't like Trump.
What was he doing that was possibly more important?
There were 1000 cameras there.
What was he doing?
Being afraid.
What is he afraid of, Blake?
Well, his entire strategy is that he seems to have the plan that eventually Donald Trump will just come out and say that he has to return to his home planet now and then just ascend offstage.
I argue that's what happened to David Bowie.
Quite possibly, quite possibly.
But he doesn't want to be too close to Trump, probably because Trump will be far more charismatic than him.
But he can't really just denounce Trump because his entire thing is like, well, I'm also very MAGA.
I can be Trumpism without Trump.
So he can't trash him too hard.
So he just seems to be very terrified that He seems to just hide from Trump, and it's very obvious at this point.
Tyler, you have a thought?
I was just going to say, this just shows, this is the reason why Trump is on pace to win in a big way, is because literally even after 8 years, basically, of this, no one in the GOP has learned what the grassroots appreciates and loves.
And then this is bigger than this.
This is the reason why you tweeted what you tweeted.
It has nothing to do with Trump.
It's bigger than Trump.
It's anybody.
Is that when you understand what the grassroots loves and they want, they hate certain things.
They hate certain people.
They hate certain pieces to what American culture has turned into, American society has turned into.
Trump represents to them everything that's opposed to that.
He's breaking all of that.
He's sledgehammering all of that.
But it's not just Trump.
It could be a lot of different people.
And none of these people get it.
And this is the reason why they're not going to, they're not going to grab enough of the vote to challenge Trump in this primary.
I would dissent from that a little bit, which is I think they are correct to intuit that if they hug really closely to Trump, You can't really have a presidential case that is like the world is at war with Trump.
The Justice Department is at war with Trump.
Trump represents the GOP base in every way possible.
Trump did nothing wrong.
By the way, you should nominate me for president.
I disagree.
I think Vivek is like outperforming a vice president.
I think the base is in love with Trump because they see him as a symbol.
They've attached him.
They've grown in relations, you know, actual like relationship with Trump and it's in a good way.
But I think that if all of a sudden Governor DeSantis thinks he's going to win over voters by kind of being a chamber of commerce style candidate, it's just not going to work.
And he's been a good governor.
I agree on that.
I just think that the way he, He would have to be able to attack Trump in a more significant way.
He can't just say... The most significant way to attack Trump is listen to the grassroots.
Every coffee that you'll do with the grassroots, you know what they'll tell you?
I love Trump, but I didn't love the people he selected.
That's an effective attack vector.
Or, I didn't like his tweets, was the one I heard all the time.
Oh yeah, I mean, but what people do love about Trump is they love his enemies.
Meaning, they think he's validated by the people who want to crush him.
Yeah.
The grassroots, people watching this show, and Tyler knows this, he deals with it every day, that they have, they're constantly, their head's on a swivel looking for who's going to betray them next.
Yeah.
They're constantly, like, it's a paranoid attitude, but that's just the way it is.
It's like they expect it.
They expect to be betrayed.
And so if you're a person that's going to even sit silently while they feel like they're being betrayed, then you're just not going to, you're not going to gain any traction at all at the grassroots.
Well, this gets to a deeper thing, which is probably no one is going to get traction with the grassroots, because they're like addicted to Trump in a way that they're not for any other candidate who's ever been around in our lifetimes.
And it will probably just remain that way until Trump returns to his home planet.
Yeah, I mean, and that Magidonia.
So therefore, if you're going to run for the presidency, Do so in a smart way.
And I mean, I think Governor DeSantis's tone has been totally wrong.
It should be, there's a lot we love about Trump.
I don't like his personnel selections, didn't like Operation Work Speed, and it's too much drama.
But I think it's super wrong what's happening in this DOJ attack.
And instead, like, let's play a piece of tape here.
You know, this is his tone, which is, it just sounds like a dodge, right?
So plate cut 83.
My mission is to bring accountability to politicized agencies like DOJ and FBI.
Plate cut 83.
Well I've addressed it many times and I'm happy to say it again.
My mission is to bring accountability to politicized agencies like DOJ, FBI.
We're going to excise the political bias.
And we are going to end the weaponization of the federal government.
We're going to do that.
All right, well, all six people at that campaign stop really enjoyed that.
Except for the audio there.
Like, he has a microphone, but why aren't we getting that?
It's a bad clip.
I think it's somebody's phone.
Yeah, yeah.
But again, like, no, no, that was the clip that they shared.
Wow.
As if this was going to be their response.
But people don't want accountability.
They want scorched earth.
It's a different tone.
That's why I think you can't really just hug to Trump.
Weirdly, I think possibly the strongest response is actually Christie because Christie goes on CNN.
He attacks Trump really aggressively.
Let me tell you what made Trump.
This is not a struggle for popularity.
This is a struggle for dominance.
Let me tell you what made Trump.
First off, Trump was a known quantity because he was on TV.
That's right.
So you just have to be a semi-known quantity, which all these presidential candidates for the most part are.
That's the reason why people know who they are.
Let me take you back to boring, decrepit Martha McSally.
There was a moment in time... No, I actually forgot about that until you just mentioned her and I know who that is.
It took me a second to under... Hey, we found something Blake doesn't know.
Dude, there was one time... You don't even know who she is?
I know who she is.
There was one time Martha pushed back against, while she was running for U.S.
Senate, against CNN.
She became...
A hero with the same people as Trump, with everything else because there was, I can't remember what she said.
It was like in the middle of like one of the halls of Senate and she was like, nobody likes you or something stupid and boring like that.
And then all of a sudden she was heroic.
And it's the same reason why Carrie, Carrie, I don't know if you remember this when Carrie was running here, she stuck her finger in the face of that CNN reporter.
Oh yeah.
And they, people went bonkers.
And then she goes, Oh, I gotta do this more.
And I'm telling you, this is what made Trump, when Trump got on stage here in Arizona in July of 2015, when we hosted him here for the first time, and he started attacking this massive core of press that was there, and did it, and then all of a sudden the crowd started going, getting more and more excited and more into it, he picked up something that he never let go of.
But remember that Trump also did this to the other candidates, and that was also what made him very famous.
But forget all that.
Focus on what people hate.
And people, they sort of hate the candidates, right?
And they know there's people that, like Charlie put it, that are going to betray them constantly.
But they know the media betrays them, so they hate the media.
They know the parties betray them, so they hate the parties.
There's three or four different things within American culture that people hate, and it's not just Republicans.
It's a lot of Democrats and it's most independents.
They just like the dominance display.
Well, no, there is an alpha component.
You're not wrong with that.
I think we're all right.
But the grassroots right now, if you look at the pattern that they've seen, right?
So they...
OK, so Trump wasn't supposed to win the nomination and he did.
He won a surprise election.
They got their hopes up and they saw his presidency largely obliterated by unelected media, unelected left wing activists, unelected bureaucrats.
And so they grew in resentment.
So I mean, I got to say the grassroots, they are more in tune with the kind of Sinister aspects of the administrative state than any time I've seen them, right?
Like ever.
But, and whether this is good or bad, and Blake, you could come on on either side of this.
And by the way, Blake's our resident contrarian thinker, by the way, just so you know.
He went to Dartmouth and he's very sophisticated, but he's- I don't pronounce it that way.
Well, I do.
So, but he's- He's right up there with Arizona State with me.
Yeah, exactly.
By the way, ASU is probably a much better school.
Harvard or the West.
Yeah, I would trust an ASU grad over a Dartmouth grad any day.
I would trust someone without a degree over anybody.
Well, there you go.
That's me.
You mean like a Prius driving mechanic?
Thankfully, I'm still alive.
I was talking to some left-wing guy the other day, and he said, Charlie, help me understand why people like Trump so much.
And it's a complicated thing.
Tyler's right.
He had 30 years of just built-up brand ID.
The alpha male thing is part of it.
But what I think Governor DeSantis is missing Is the rage, the fury, the anger, the contempt, and the thirst for revenge that the conservative grassroots have towards the FBI, the DOJ, and the media.
And they don't want happy talk.
They don't want policy proposals.
They want Dresden.
Well, and Reagan had a unique ability to subjugate the media by joking with them.
Trump has what they want.
They want Dresden.
This is thought crime.
It's so dark.
This is not New Day on CNN, Jack.
They want Dresden.
I don't disagree that there's a tone and tenor thing that doesn't jive with everybody that's out there.
I think there's like a happy medium between like a Reagan subjugation of the media and like a Trump subjugation of the media.
And I think that that's like, like the ideal candidate.
I think the point is, is that nobody right now in the field is doing anything anywhere close to any of those guys.
And this is the reason why Trump's like pummeling and stuff is, and no one's ever going to come off Trump, which by the way, this is just my opinion.
I told Charlie this and Andrew this today.
It's like, You have to win conservative votes to win the nomination.
This is not that hard to figure out.
This is a primary.
This is not like a general... 100,000 people vote in the Iowa caucus.
Every conservative is voting for Trump right now.
Well, maybe a little bit more.
It's like 140,000.
And in a general, millions will vote.
Blake, do you have a thought you want to chime in here?
Well, I was just saying, you know, it is true that they have, they want scorched earth and all of these enemies, but I do think we underrate how much of it is sort of the,
Entertainment like on air like WWE type aspect to it because everyone like everyone's much more excited about Trump's showdown with CNN with Caitlin Collins than they were about like anything DeSantis has done that made people really upset in Florida where he's like I'm going to blow up Disney but it's not going to be quite as you know highly televised.
Well we saw a t-shirt today what did it say?
Oh man, what was that all about?
Ron DeSantis is selling a new t-shirt.
That was bad.
Literally on his merch store.
I thought it was someone trolling him.
And I gotta say it, hold on.
On the back of the shirt it says, Stop Pussyfooting Around.
Governor Ron DeSantis.
That's a real thing.
He should have picked a different name for it.
There's, alright, like, I can break down the sort of meme analysis of this.
in real time.
And I've only looked at this once or twice.
Do we have the actual, can we get that up?
Yeah, it was in that other chat.
It was in the Judgment Day chat.
No, no, no.
I mean, it's for the audience.
No, the team will get it.
Screenshot it.
So, okay, there's a couple things here.
Number one, you can't force meme your own taglines and catchphrases.
Exactly.
So you can't say something one day.
Stop trying to make fetch happen.
Right?
You can't say something in the morning.
And so I can break down.
So he, he cut this, you know, in pro wrestling, you would say he cut in pro wrestling.
And then can you zoom, is it possible to zoom in, like zoom and enhance on the, on the actual back of the thing?
- So he said this to Newsome, and he was saying that Newsome should stop pussyfooting around to come.
But okay, there's a couple aspects of why this is a bad, really, really bad meme.
And actually, it's so bad, it becomes actually a negative meme towards DeSantis.
Because number one, you cannot force a meme.
You cannot make something fun.
You cannot make something interesting.
Charlie rules radicals, right?
Do use tactics that your people like.
Yes, use a tactic.
This only works if your fans are making the t-shirt.
That's the point.
It has to happen.
If your fans are making it.
Out of nothing.
Right.
It happens hat out of the zeitgeist.
And tears.
And vapor on the horizon.
And people want to talk about – now, obviously, Make America Great Again was something that Trump came up with.
But at the same time, I mean that's lightning in a bottle, right?
That's not necessarily something you can just randomly come up with on a – what is it?
Thursday morning.
That's number one.
Number two, when you're putting something on a T-shirt like that, if it's something like Let's Go Brandon, which got so big – That was organic.
And so organic, then you can put something – here's what I'm trying to say though.
People understood the context.
People understood the joke because it got so big first.
So people didn't lead with Let's Go Brandon t-shirts and wrapping paper and everything else.
that all came up after the fact and then eventually when the guy got joe to actually say it on the phone right it became this massive meme it's like baba booey with howard stern so that's number two is that you've you've created a t-shirt where no like the average person has no idea what this is and then number three and i'm just gonna say okay this is spa and then number three
and i'm just gonna say it like when you're putting the words stop pussyfooting around next to an image of ron desantis it's so weird You are co-branding your candidate with your own face.
And it's not even like a cool picture of Ron DeSantis like doing something cool.
It looks like a DMV photo.
Like if he was curb stomping.
This is like a passport photo.
If he was curb stomping Gavin Newsom, that would be almost kind of cool.
It's like, Oh, okay.
I can see why you put this on your website.
It looks like the kind of thing that you would make if you were against.
It's a passport photo.
That's what I'm saying.
It looks like something where it's like, okay, sir.
Yeah, yeah.
You can come into Rome.
Like, okay.
We're going to fight MAGA with Spock.
Plus, he's co-branded himself with this word potentially forever now.
As much as Donald Trump has his own famous phrase that uses that same exact word.
That is much more alpha than DeSantis.
That's exactly right.
So you're playing into the mentality of if DeSantis is tying himself to that word and then Trump.
So it's like what?
Grab him by the DeSantis?
Like it's there's so many like there's so many extrapolations on this of this meme that are not DeSantis.
Out of all the criticisms you could give Donald Trump.
Pussyfooting is not one of the accusations I think you can level towards Donald Trump.
Like, of all the things.
Quite the opposite.
I mean, the guy that's getting indicted on 37 accounts and, like, picks fights with his former press secretary, the accusation is probably like, hey, can you calm it down a little bit?
Like, can you put that on the back of a shirt?
Like, let's bring down the temperature.
Ron DeSantis.
Instead it's, I don't even know what this means.
This is what I'm saying.
This is, and we talked about this at length, that I knew this was going to happen.
There's two different directions that the DeSantis campaign is going.
And this is not just DeSantis, this is everybody.
Where they think they have to be more Trumpian than Trump.
This is exactly right.
And nobody can, it's like you're trying to mimic a master, okay?
It's not going to happen.
And they're doing it all wrong.
But, and in the same time, they're going into states and they're hanging out with moderates.
Yeah, talk about that.
So Tyler, this is a level deeper.
We haven't examined it.
Ron DeSantis is doing meet and greets, round tables, and coffees with not so great people.
Yeah, I mean, just moderates.
I mean, like, again, and we, we don't have to, I don't want to take us way off track here, but like 2016, Ted Cruz did everything wrong.
A lot of us really like Ted Cruz.
We still do.
You know, Ted's great.
But a lot of conservatives were supporting Ted Cruz in 2016, and then Trump came along, basically out of nowhere, did the rally here in Arizona, stole all the thunder of Ted Cruz because he was willing to say things that Ted Cruz wasn't.
And by the way, what happened?
Ted Cruz was hanging out with more establishment guys, trying to go to the center in the primary, and this is what upset all the conservatives.
They're like, oh, okay, Trump's my guy.
Because Ted Cruz is hanging out with nothing but moderates.
So what happened over time was all the losers dropped out.
And so naturally, Cruz all of a sudden got his campaign hijacked by moderates and establishment guys.
And that made Trump even more powerful.
And this is the direction that you're already going with Ron DeSantis because he's not even trying to get conservative votes.
He's not even trying to get conservatives peeled away from Donald Trump.
Hey Tyler, he's not pussyfooting around.
Speaking of pussyfooting.
It's like everything DeSantis does has the feeling that like they had their like dorktastic strategy meeting a few days before and we're like, okay, we figured out this is our, you know, we're going to indulge, we're going to promote this online meme that people made up for us.
And then we're going to do the, and then Trump just, you know, goes and spouts off, does a, you know, all caps, like goes to a waffle house.
Trump's like Magidonia.
No one ever thinks Trump is, like, you know, doing this thing because he's trying to triangulate, you know, because of a strata concession he had.
No, some people think that, and that means they haven't spent any time around the Trump campaign.
There's a plan!
There's no plan, okay?
There is no plan, okay?
It's a tornado.
It's a tornado.
The storm is here.
We couldn't order a pizza in the 2016 campaign.
There is no plan.
There is blessing, providence, and luck.
There's no plan.
But, but this is to your point.
This is like the weird situation.
They have a stop pussyfooting around t-shirt.
Meanwhile, they're actually campaigning in a very pussyfoot type of a way that is not going to, you're not going to win.
It's just such a weird juxtaposition.
There's a, there's a, there's a phrase in, in, in writing.
There's a phrase in, you know, theater, Hollywood, whatever you call it, show don't tell.
Sure, don't tell me that you're a fighter.
Don't tell me that you're not pussyfooting.
Show me the money, as Jerry Maguire would say.
Yeah, show me.
Let me use this as a nice segue as we go to the next topic regarding Tucker Carlson, but if you guys could zoom in on me really quick, it actually is necessary for what I'm going to say.
Let's see who shows up at Turning Point's Action Conference.
For all of you in the audience, we are selling tickets very quickly.
tpaction.com.
You guys can see we have Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, Dan Mangino.
We're selling out.
We are selling.
Well, on pace to sell out.
We're not there yet.
No, we're selling out.
Uh, Megyn Kelly announced today.
Josh Hawley.
It's the biggest event of the year, period.
Nothing will get close to it.
You're not going to get this kind of group of people.
Well, AmFest will be great, but we're not going to talk about that right now.
And Action Conference, tpaction.com.
I want to be very clear because people send us these emails.
Every Republican candidate is welcome.
We'll see who shows up.
Asa Hutchinson is welcome.
Neocon Nikki is welcome, right?
The governor of Florida is welcome.
Chris Christie is welcome.
So far, Donald Trump and Vivek are showing up.
Seems like the Miami delegation, as we call it.
Oh, by the way, the Miami mayor is running for president.
Yeah, he's welcome.
He's welcome.
He's down the street.
Did you see his logo?
Speaking of logos?
You'll know what my first question will be on stage if I interview him.
Who are you?
Dude, what is your name?
How did you get in here?
Did you see his logo?
No, I didn't see his logo.
Is that noteworthy?
Oh, you gotta see this logo.
Oh my gosh.
Wait, by the way, throwing down on that, Charlie, two more names, two more names, which, because I'm looking at your poster here.
Yeah, sure.
Scott Pressler.
And Mike Lindell.
And Mike Lindell.
And Harmeet Dhillon.
And Harmeet Dhillon.
And we got a bunch of electeds, by the way.
Lauren Boeber.
I mean, it is the event of the summer.
Jack Pasopo will be there.
Steve Bannon.
We're doing all of our shows live.
It's going to be incredible.
TPAction.com, everybody.
TPAction.com.
Okay, the next topic here on Thought Crimes, Tucker, Episode 4.
I had an opportunity to listen to it.
I haven't seen it yet.
It's, oh, man.
Blake, you've met Tucker before, right?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, a few times.
The guy is a talent, unlike anything I've ever seen.
I mean, and so he is a way of just pinpointing in a 10 to 15 minute way of a monologue.
It's incredible.
Let's talk more just generally Tucker stuff, okay?
Because I don't know if we've all seen his... Have you seen his video?
I think it's excellent.
The Wannabe Dictator.
It's great.
But let's just talk more generally.
Do you think it's been a good idea for Tucker to do these kind of Twitter videos?
How is this gonna end up?
Blake, Jack, where is this going?
Is Fox gonna sue Tucker?
That is the question in front of us.
Because Tucker's basically taunting the Fox News legal department.
He's basically like, hey, right here, punch me on the chin, file a lawsuit.
Is that gonna happen?
So I love that Tucker's out there.
And I love that he's putting himself out there.
And it's kind of like you don't put honey in a corner.
You know, I get that.
As far as the legalities, look, I mean, that's going to come down to a lot of different things.
And I love – but again, this is exactly what I was just saying.
Tucker is not telling me he's a fighter.
He's not having his influencers online leak to me that he's a fighter.
He's going out there and actually showing that he's willing to take it on the chin and face legal ramifications, face cease and desist, be told that he needs to shut up, and refuses to.
And by the way, I do understand, even though I didn't see the episode, I saw the headline from the Postmillennial, that he revealed, he actually broke news on Fox, that they fired or at least had to let go the producer who called Biden a wannabe dictator.
Is that true?
They, I don't know if they fired him, they reprimanded him.
Now, if you watch the Tucker video, it's pretty remarkable because he goes after Fox completely.
I mean, gloves are off.
He just says, he says it was addressed.
Like that's what the statement was.
Just a couple of things.
Tucker in the video says, the women who run Fox News.
And like, he means a few specific people on that one.
Let's talk about Paul Ryan.
It's all about Horat.
It's all about Horat.
And so let's ask the question, Blake, is Fox News going to sue Tucker Carlson?
This is the most important question.
Yes or no?
I don't know if they will, but he's sort of picking great territory.
You know, think of it in strategic terms, which is he's forcing them to either basically say it's okay for him to do this and he can then expand on it, or you have to sue me.
And what he's doing is he's making this more painful for Fox.
Because they already took the hit on, we fired our most popular host and a bunch of our numbers are down.
And they're thinking, their thought was, people will forget about this and go over it.
We're Fox.
They're not going to go anywhere else.
And he's instead going to say, no, I'm going to try to make you sue me so that every single day there are new news hits of, oh, Fox's latest attack on our super popular former host.
And he's like, I'm going to drag this out months on end, years on end, or you guys can cut a deal and let me go and we can make the pain go away.
And so I think it's very tactically wise.
He's put Fox in a really tough spot, right?
Because if Fox, so the best case scenario for Fox is they get a, what is it called?
Emergency declaration, Blake, or whatever, a judge.
Emergency injunction.
Injunction, thank you.
That's what I'm looking for.
That they could shut him up through, like, basically an injunction.
Yes.
That is conceivable.
However, But that would still take time.
No, that's not true.
You can get it almost immediately.
Like, it'd take a day or two.
However, because you could come in as like, hey, it's an immediate breach of contract, and they could potentially say immediate, you know, harm.
But the harm to Fox that they would do to themselves, Jack, if they go to a court... Well, he's daring Fox to shoot themselves in the head.
Yeah, he's going to war with Fox over the audience.
Yeah, you know, it's almost...
I want to make sure I got my analogies and metaphors right, so I'm not going to say that.
But it's almost like he's taunting them to shoot their own network in the head.
Yeah, exactly.
That's basically what they're doing, right?
What he's doing.
He's got some smart lawyers helping him.
He does.
Harmeet?
Yeah, because now he has him in a situation where Fox has a decision.
that are helping him.
And I think that Tucker's going to come out way on top on this thing.
Yeah, because now he has him in a situation where Fox has a decision.
You ignore Tucker and he's allowed to do his Twitter thing, which is reaching literally tens of millions of people.
A hundred million on all of them so far.
It's unbelievable.
Meanwhile, Fox is sinking.
So then Fox is sinking.
So the Fox News legal department, they might say, screw it, file the lawsuit, go after the injunction.
So then there will be a document, Fox News Corporation v. Tucker Carlson, and a judge might, might, no guarantee, grant an emergency injunction.
But then it gets hairy.
What does he do then?
What if Tucker What if Tucker ignores the injunction?
Well, that's the, well... Fox is gonna send him to jail?
Well, a judge could, not just Fox.
But yeah, I mean, at that point you're ignoring a judge, right?
So then he's got to be careful.
Because then you could actually get prisoned.
There's a likelihood of that happening, there's probably will.
But then he could sue the, he could appeal the injunction.
Yeah.
And say it's a First Amendment thing.
Tucker could say he's running for dog catcher, which I think he should say he's running for, like, Mayor of Bryant Pond, Maine.
Because then it's protected political speech.
I'm running for Mosquito Abatement District Director!
Then all of a sudden it's protected political speech.
I'm not kidding.
Right?
Because then a judge will be like, well, you're running to go be, you know, the grass cutter.
I can't get in the way of it.
You should just like run for school district and like be a school board member.
That'd be so fun.
And my number one issue is making sure we don't go to war in Iran!
Exactly!
My number one issue for Bryant Pond, Maine is to make sure that Zelensky gets tried for war crimes.
Like, what?
I mean, if Alex Dine can make a whole career out of appearing at these boards.
No, but I'm half kidding is like that's actually something he could, no joke, he could do in front of a judge that could get him First Amendment protections.
But what's most important in this whole thing, Charlie, is that the more that Fox fights this, the less popular they will become.
He knows that, though.
So that's the real... Let's say they get a muzzle on him.
Let's say they get an injunction.
Well, then Tucker can countersue.
But then also he gets discovery.
Yeah.
Right.
And then he gets to basically be like, I'm being sued by Fox.
I don't think their 8pm hour is going to improve with time if they're an active lawsuit against Tucker.
And the fact he's done the Twitter thing, he's kind of going to make them seem like jerks and, you know, other words if they now do it.
And there's unlimited ways you control them.
Like, oh, they get an injunction on Tucker.
So he just, like, hires some, like, badly acted lookalike to, like, deliver, like, the monologue he wrote on his behalf.
It's even worse than that for Fox.
Because they've emboldened someone like Harmeet Dhillon, who has a significant following at this point.
She's well-respected.
She's really well-versed.
They could put together a press conference every single day if they want to via Harmeet.
And she can talk all day long.
And guess what?
She will get better numbers herself than Fox is getting.
So Fox is putting themselves in a really bad position here because everybody's going to want to track this whole thing and they want to come at Fox with knives.
And everybody's going to want to watch what Tucker is saying at the same time.
Have Tucker do like a silent collage where he just holds like a sign up with writing on it, like those videos Libs would do.
Or just like a hostage video.
I'm not allowed to talk.
I'm not allowed to talk.
Here I am.
Or we'll do AI Tucker.
Muzzled.
and the war in Ukraine.
What if we did AI Tucker?
I like AI Tucker.
So we can just... AI Tucker.
Oh, that's right.
Tucker can write his monologue and then it goes to AI Tucker and then Tucker delivers the monologue.
He could be fishing the whole time.
He could literally just be fishing.
He could just put it all into the thing.
It's technically not Tucker.
But the thing is, no, that's not Tucker.
That's AI Tucker.
So, Jack, but there's a new wrinkle here Matt Walsh tweeted something interesting.
What is that?
Well, this is certainly the type of thing that we wouldn't normally be able to talk about, but here we are on ThoughtCrime and we can talk about this now.
Matt Walsh has tweeted that They obtained, the Daily Wire obtained internal documents from Fox News employees that Fox Corp is celebrating Pride Month by encouraging employees to read about, quote, glory holes, supporting a group that gives sterilization hormones to homeless youth and deployed woke AI to monitor everyone.
What is a glory hole?
I want to see if there's an actual definition here.
Is this something that is considered to be commonplace knowledge?
In certain circles.
I think there was a... It is a type of sexual paraphernalia?
I guess you could say that.
I don't want those websites saying there's something paraphernalia.
It's disgusting!
I think there was a certain senator from Idaho.
Google knows about this forever.
Your ads are going to be like that for the rest of time now.
Disgusting!
Wait, Charlie, how did that come right up for you like that?
I typed it in.
I thought we had blocks here.
I don't understand.
Wait, so then why is Fox subsidizing glory holes for their employees?
There was a U.S.
Senator from Idaho who got into big trouble for this.
It was like they encouraged all these books you could read for pride and of course it's exactly like the stuff they want in all of our kindergarten libraries so this book is like Yeah, so the books are like Red, White, and Royal Blue.
A memoir about a precocious boy with albinism.
Julian decides to dazzle the world after seeing marvelously dressed mermaids because Julian decides to become a unicorn.
The Ease of Living as an LGBTQI.
This is the reading list.
Disgusting.
Listening to the podcast Queerie with Cameron Esposito.
Retelling the stories of forgotten black queer leaders.
And it goes through everyone's favorite black queer leaders.
Okay, let me see if I can read this line.
I don't know.
Tyler, what do you think?
Can I read this line?
This sounds like the Charlie Kirk Show.
Like, I'm sorry, what's a glory hole?
It is an opening drilled into the side of a restroom stall.
Not to look through.
And it is not for your eyes.
It is used for something else, because I definitely can't read that next line.
This is the Fox-endorsed book.
Also details the author's graphic depiction of using said glory hole.
Um, it goes through, you know, a bunch of it is like calling America a genocidal empire.
Um, more erotica from the LGBTQ perspective and a number of them, which it's very strange.
This is part of their employee manual.
It's, it's how they're encouraged to celebrate.
Actually now it's part of the constitution.
It is.
Yeah, you know, they're changing the American flag.
Article 9 will be the glory hole amendment.
We're going to re-release the Declaration of Independence.
We hold these truths to be self-evident.
I got out of the shower and took another towel to dry off, then tried to find a receptacle for my old one.
So what is Fox's attachment with this again?
Their HR is like pushing all this crap for...
It's HR eating the world.
So when you log into your read about it, so when you log into your the way I get this is that they have an internal, you know, HR portal, it's where the kind of place where you would go if you work in the corporate world, read, you know, check your hours, check your your benefits, that kind of thing, health insurance.
But in this case, 401k, maybe a baby's head in.
But in this case on Fox, they have a pride section.
And when you click through the pride section, so it looks like somebody went through and just screenshot at a bunch of stuff that's in the pride section of Fox's HR portal.
Well, the crazy part is this, is like, how do we go from Roger-ville here, right?
Right, yeah, exactly.
Everything that went on at Fox or whatever to like, they're pushing how is this passing the HR?
Yeah, sex test of like pushing on people like, we should investigate more glory holes on campus here.
You know, you know, after everything that Fox is like, let's do it.
If you're one of the women that sued.
Yeah, didn't they have like a whole issue with Hyper-sexualized corporate culture and now they have glory holes?
Wait a minute.
We're going to come full circle here and now we're going to go... It's just that this is Pride Cycle stuff.
We're focused on all of these dirty Pride Month books about glory holes that Fox is promoting to their employees, but nobody's talking about the literally tens of thousands of Pride Month glory hole books that Fox is not promoting to their employees.
Alright, that's a perfect segue to the strip club, otherwise known as the White House.
So, the White House last weekend had a Pride event, and a tranny came by the name of Rose Montoya, now banned from the White House after backlash.
Think about how bad you have to be to get banned from the White House as a tranny.
I mean, this is definitely a place that has lots of glory holes that have been carved into it.
I mean, this is, the White House has gone a long way.
This is worse than the Lincoln Bedroom.
Oh, this is worse.
This is far worse.
The Lincoln Bedroom has a lot of holes in it now.
Right.
So this Montoya, who is a man, took off his clothes, cupping his breasts, fake breasts, after meeting Biden on the South Lawn.
We have the clip for it.
So could use a glory hole then.
Play cut 81.
This is for the uninitiated.
JNews!
Are we top this at the White House?
Okay, so I'm upset.
They're having way too much fun back there.
I'm upset because that's the same lawn that President Trump stuck that candy bar in that kid's head that was that was dressed up as a minion.
Oh, the minion one.
Yeah, I remember that.
And now it's been degraded.
That lawn.
Magical things happen on that lawn.
And now it's just it's just a worthless lawn.
So now this has gone further viral where Jesse Kelly and Buck Travis have come out and they say that they found this man attractive.
Clay Travis.
Whatever.
They found this man attractive.
Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on.
All right.
All right.
I saw those tweets.
Maybe they're being joking around.
That had to be a troll.
No, no, no.
But there were a lot of, there were a lot of boomers on Twitter.
I saw them who thought that was a woman and they were like, Oh, lay off.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
There we have that.
We have that as 86.
If we want to bring them.
I'm really offended by it.
I'm offended by all you boomers.
Jesse Kelly says that tranny that flashed everyone at the white house looked pretty good.
And I'm tired of pretending he didn't.
If you follow Jesse Kelly on Twitter, I don't know, he's pretty trolly, but then I don't really follow Clay Travis, but he responds, I'm with you, great boobs, and I don't think, I don't think, I know that was a dude.
As a First Amendment and boobs guy, this entire story has me totally shook.
All right, the line totally shook right there seems to be like a giveaway that, you know, that it's some kind of troll.
Well, I don't think so.
I have a question.
I think you need to be clear as a First Amendment.
I don't understand what the First Amendment has to do with this.
Yes.
Some people are born without a sense of humor, Charlie.
And, uh, I, I don't get if that's supposed to be a joke.
I'm not really sure where that is.
He's saying like as a, as if someone who's like neutral on the porn issue, is that what he's saying?
Free the nipple?
I think he's neutral on boobs issues.
Free the nipple is breastfeeding.
Look, look, even if it's also tranny stuff.
Even if you're a guy that's a boobs guy.
But you just can't breastfeed.
Okay.
Oh, we have a segment about that next week.
I know.
No, I got into that lat with, uh, this is my point.
Like there's all these boomers on Twitter that were like, leave the girl up.
Like they thought that that was a woman.
Yeah.
What is it with, what is it on Twitter with the white knighting?
They just, they, they see a woman who's being criticized on Twitter and they just, they leap to the fray.
I will defend a woman.
It's not a woman, it's a dude.
It's a dude that's wearing a costume.
And they think that they have to, like you've seen this, where people just go absolutely nuts.
It's not just like older people.
It is a personality type where, I must defend the woman no matter what.
No matter what?
Even when it's not a woman?
Even when it's not a woman at all.
Even when it just sort of looks like one, I guess?
And so I don't think joking viciously wide upper torso.
I'm just going to I'm just going to say this apple whether or not this was a joke on his part.
It was a bad joke because now people are questioning whether or not he's defending his okayness with male trans and it's too bad because Travis did really well with Mike Pence in the same week and now the distraction is that he's like praising a dude.
Yeah, and that's not a question.
We'll get over it pretty quickly.
You need to be very clear.
It's not like you posed with a Bud Light and was like... It's not the same thing.
Yeah, I mean... Fake trans boobs and fake boobs on women, not the same thing.
Of course they're not the same thing!
But then Charlie, since we're going through terminology here, the question then is, so let's take the other side, the other position.
Could it be possible that Clay Travis was fooled and tweeted this in earnest, in which case this would fall into, and if anyone who's spent time in Southeast Asia knows, this would fall into the category of trapping.
Is it possible that Clay Travis was trapped here?
And then, of course, that brings up the eternal question, does falling for a trap make one of that persuasion?
Are traps gay?
Yes.
Charlie.
Are traps gay?
It depends.
I mean, probably.
Yes or no?
Yes.
Yes or no question?
I mean, my default answer when someone asks me if something is gay is just, of course, because everything's turned gay now.
That's a good answer.
This is part of the mandatory, like, candidate quiz.
My nuanced answer is this.
Is our turning point action candidate quiz, we're going to say, are traps gay?
No, the question, so my answer on this is, it is nuanced because in certain parts of the world, traps are, like Southeast Asia, I've never been trapped by the way, for the record, but I know people, like Tom Sauer, who have been, and I say it becomes gay when you know, and if you know and you go along with it, oh yeah.
Somebody, somebody pointed out that right now, fake boobs, since we're going back to this, fake boobs are not trendy with women.
Is that, it's trending on Twitter?
No, the only people getting fake boobs are dudes.
Yeah.
Trying to save the cottage industry.
Oh, wait, that's right.
No, because there's the whole, no, because there, no, there's the whole, um, like, like breast reduction is actually probably the bigger thing.
Breast reduction is popular and natural.
And natural.
Yeah.
Which is great.
I think it's awesome.
It makes a lot of sense though.
Cause like, you know, when you have enough of these trannies getting them, people are going to mentally wonder like if they see an oppressive, but obviously fake rack, they're going to think, is that, is that a dude?
Gotta get the Seinfeld clip.
about this topic.
They're real and they're spectacular.
Wait, did I tell you what Alex did to me the other day when I had him on?
He did his green screen background was the Seinfeld set.
Is that right?
And he never once mentioned anything about it.
And then until like towards the end, I said, you know, your office looks suspiciously like Jerry Seinfeld's apartment there.
And he's just like, yeah, yeah.
We weren't even talking about anything that that's that guy.
He just like, Just decided to pick the Seinfeld set.
This brings me back to Seinfeld, this whole conversation.
I don't know why.
It just reminiscent of manhands.
Remember the manhands?
Oh yeah, he's got manhands!
Like woman's opening a pickle jar.
But it was clearly, it was clearly a different actor, right?
So they would zoom in on the hands and it was like, like a producer or something.
Now that episode, if that episode aired today, we'd be like, Oh my gosh, that's a trans, And by the way, let's just be clear.
If you listen to that tranny talk, you're not fooled within a second when you hear the voice.
The voice is the tell.
That tranny has a baritone thing.
I'm here at the White House with Dr. Jill Biden.
I do think, I do feel for these boomers.
It concerns me that there's a bunch of boomers running around out there.
We love boomers.
We don't insult them.
No, I'm saying I'm concerned there's a bunch of boomers getting tricked by trannies all the time.
Getting trapped.
They're getting trapped.
A lot of boomers are moving to third world countries for cheaper retirements.
Is that a real thing?
In Panama they move to Thailand and they'll get trapped and it'll be a real tragedy.
In the military this has been a thing forever.
Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia.
Of men being trapped by men who are dressing like women?
Well, both actually.
But what I'm saying is when you go to those parts of the world, the ladyboys, as they're known in that region, are prevalent.
Oh yeah, they're actually men.
Yeah, so you get trapped.
But then it's also this idea where, um, you know, your dollar goes further.
If you're on a fixed income, it's easier if you don't have a family, et cetera, et cetera.
Oh, yeah.
It's a whole thing.
Hail to the king, Seinfeld, play cut 91.
Is this bad hands?
I can't believe you sent a woman into the sauna to do that.
That was an accident!
I think you're both mentally ill.
Oh.
I can't say that anymore.
And by the way, they're real and they're spectacular.
Yes.
Boom.
They don't make TV like that anymore.
They don't make women like that anymore.
She was Lois Lane when she did that with Dean Gaines.
With our guy.
That's why she was cast for that role, though, because Jerry loves Superman more than anything else.
Right, right, exactly.
And so he wanted people in kind of Superman orbit always to come in.
Okay, play cut 35.
This is the tell, okay?
This whole thing about, oh, he tricked me.
Okay, there's no tricking.
Okay, play cut 35.
It has recently come to my attention that conservatives are trying to use the video of me topless at the White House to try to call the community groomers, etc.
And I would just like to say that, first of all, going topless in Washington, D.C.
is legal.
My transmasculine friends were showing off their top surgery scars and living in joy, and I wanted to join them.
I had zero intention of trying to be vulgar or be profane in any way.
I was simply living in joy, living my truth and existing in my body.
Happy Pride!
Free the nipple.
Ugh.
Yeah, you can't say free the nipple for that.
Free the nipples for breastfeeding and trainees can't breastfeed.
Charlie, did the wrong side win the American Revolution?
Is this all a mistake?
No.
Correct side won.
For the record, 1776 was a very good idea.
Okay?
For the record, 1776 was a very good idea.
Okay?
For the record.
Yeah, this is crazy, though.
But should we have listened to Hamilton a little bit more, Charlie?
This is an interesting question.
I think that we should have a much... I think the power the founders actually gave the executive has been vastly underutilized and underrated.
In the last many presidencies, especially by Donald Trump.
There's this thing called the Unitary Theory.
It is just the Constitution.
I do think we have to give our thanks to James Madison, though, for making sure that in Article 2... Yeah, you know, James Madison went into Article 2.
That's Clarence Thomas.
That's Clarence Thomas.
Just so we're clear.
Be sensitive, Jacob.
That's James Madison.
That's Clarence Thomas.
Whatever.
James Madison, you know, he went into Article 2 of the Constitution.
This family was doing something else back then.
We came very close to having Article 2 of the Constitution have a clause that says, uh, traps are not gay.
And he actually had that taken out, so.
Jefferson wanted it in.
Traps are not gay.
So I hear.
Jefferson wanted it in.
Yeah, Jefferson wanted it in.
All right, speaking of which, prompt number four, or topic number four here on Thought Crimes.
By the way, get your tickets to Turning Point Action Action Conference, tpaction.com.
We're working through all the speed bumps on Rumble.
You can also email me freedom at charliekirk.com.

I have the email up, or you guys can talk in the Rumble chat either, or you guys can enjoy that.
Okay, number four, Pride Teenth!
The White House commemorated Juneteenth today, on June 13th, a full six days before the actual date.
So now, we have Juneteenth week for a holiday, and we, of course, had our YWLS Summit, where we had the gay flag outside.
It used to be a single day to commemorate the Stonewall riots.
Actually, that's not totally true, right?
Blake, it was supposed to be about when the news of slavery liberation... No, no, so we're kind of mixing the streams there of Pride and Juneteenth, because now we have both.
Oh, okay.
I can't keep track of all this stuff.
So Juneteenth was when slaves in Texas learned of their emancipation.
That's when the news hit, right?
Yes.
And so they learned about that, and that became like a local holiday in the Texas region, and a few other kind of Texas diaspora regions.
And then, otherwise it was pretty obscure.
CNN never talked about it for a decade.
I can list on one hand, Tucker Carlson, myself, Candace Owens, and I know Jack.
There were very few of us, Jack, that were super forceful against Juneteenth when this got proposed.
Remember?
I mean, it was, it was James that was pushing and there was, and it was Republicans who came up and, uh, and it was, you know, out of heritage.
No, the, the original, you know, not old, not new heritage.
Yeah.
New heritage is based previous, right.
The previous regime, if you want to call it like that, um, the previous regime over there where they were pushing this.
And it was, it was part of this whole, like with Nikki Haley taking down the flag and taking down all the statues and renaming all the bases, which have all been renamed now, for the most part at least. - It's creepier than that.
They've gone into Wikipedia and they've rewritten the Fort Bragg article, so it's now Fort Liberty, when we're training for World War II and everything. - They did that with Ellen Page too.
It was like one, one, one day we all woke up and it was no longer Ellen Page.
She was no longer like, like we all watched, you know, we all thought it was great.
It was like a pro-life movie, but you wake up one day and it's all, it's Elliot.
It's always been Elliot.
There's never Elliot.
And, uh, it turns out we were fighting East Asia and World War II the whole time.
Yeah.
So I have a theory with, I mean the Juneteenth, it was, how can we be woke?
We need to be woker than woke.
The Republicans.
Yeah, I was just trying to take the woke off the table.
And of course it doesn't.
So now we have a summertime competitor to Independence Day.
So now we have two Independence Days.
Just like now when you watch sporting events, they have the Black National Anthem and the actual National Anthem.
So let's play some tapes here.
Kamala Harris takes the stage Juneteenth and starts laughing uncontrollably.
She didn't take Valium this morning.
Play cut 39.
Happy Juneteenth!
Please have a seat.
Please have a seat.
And to my divine nine family.
laughter I'm sorry.
Was that a little jive at the end?
Was that a little code switching?
My-ja-my-ja-my family!
Little bit of kind of like all of a sudden getting into the...
Yeah, it was a little bit of the Jive talk.
It looked like, right?
She had some tequila for breakfast.
Yeah.
By the way, the Democrats are so... I mean, I hate the narrative.
They're the real racists.
But could you imagine if I went to, like, a Blexit event and I just started talking Jive?
Hey, everybody!
It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
She's just like, it's so insulting.
AOC, it's called code switching.
And this is a real thing, right, Blake?
Code switching, yeah.
It's a real thing.
Hillary was the first one.
Yeah.
It doesn't get highlighted enough that Kamala literally got denounced by her Jamaican relatives.
No, this is correct!
Disgusting and pathetic and had humiliated them.
This is not the topic we're discussing now, but I hope she's the nominee.
I think she's unbelievably beatable.
They're never gonna let that happen.
No, they'll put Newsom before her.
I think they'll put John Fetterman in before her.
I'm not kidding.
They will take her out.
Fetterman would be a better candidate.
He doesn't say anything.
Newsom is clearly raising his hand and saying, Hey, I'm here, coach.
Put me in.
If this dude falls apart.
Do you want a thought crime?
I thought he did okay on Hannity.
I haven't watched it yet.
You know, I'm just being honest.
I thought he held his own.
There is a universe out there where Gavin, you know, Joe Biden retires or dies and they're like, okay, we nominate Gavin Newsom and then maybe something happens to Trump and we plug in Don Jr.
as the Republican candidate.
I see where you're going with this, Blake.
I see where you're going.
Yeah.
And so we have the, you know, it's a family torn family, family, family torn apart.
Yes.
So.
A house divided, as we call it in football.
So let's play another thing here.
Joe Biden honoring Juneteenth.
Sugar, what is his name?
Not Sugar Pop.
What's the?
Corn Pop.
Play Cut 38.
He was a bad dude.
Sugar Pop, whatever.
38.
Juneteenth.
Our entire administration is continuing to be charged forward to literally redeem the soul of America.
Redeeming the soul of America.
Are we talking about the Ashley Biden speech?
Jeez, man.
The Ashley Babbitt?
The Ashley Biden speech.
Yeah, that's cut 79.
She claims her dad is bringing justice and healing to all communities across America.
Is this the one he showered with?
She wrote in the diary this allegation, but it was also sort of like a rehab diary.
And so the question is, was this something she was working through?
How hopped up was she when she wrote it?
Yeah, exactly.
How hopped up was she when she wrote it?
I see it the opposite.
You're never more truthful than when you're in therapy.
In rehab or therapy?
When you read it, it's much more just devastating.
Was she not getting therapy when she was doing that?
No she was in, so she was in one of those places that had like a um...
Like an outpatient sort of facility.
Like ketamine treatment?
Well, you know, what it is, the thing, the diary is much more devastating to her than just that, because it's literally her writing to herself, just like, I'm sexually out of control.
Like, I'm so attracted to this guy, but he's so bad for me.
But I'm addicted to his body.
She writes that Hunter uses drugs the way that I use sex.
Yeah.
And so she does all this.
She basically writes how she's a perfectly stable family.
We should let them keep on running the country.
Play cut, 79.
My dad, Joe Biden, made Juneteenth officially a federal holiday.
My dad has instilled in me a deep commitment to serving and honoring our history and making material changes to the lives of African Americans.
Through his courage, he leads bringing jobs, justice, and healing to communities all across the country.
Okay.
Let's first, I got a couple thoughts here.
She's better looking than Rose Montoya.
She's not a man.
Yeah.
I find her vile.
There's nothing about her that's attractive.
But still more attractive than Rose Montoya.
He's a man.
Yes.
That's an important aspect in that question.
We're grading on a devastating curve here.
I feel bad for her.
She was born into this insanity, but I don't feel bad for her that she's getting up and she's defending this.
This is insane.
This family's insane.
The things that they said about the Trump family, I witnessed Don Jr.
buying a group of homeless people free in and out burger early on in the 2016 campaign, just out of the goodness of his heart.
Hunter might have been one of those homeless guys.
He's just a good normal dude, and they attacked the Trump family as if they're like some abnormal weirdos the entire time.
They're the most normal, cool, normal...
You know, very wealthy families, but normal people.
These people are all screwed up.
And it's like the media just runs cover for them constantly and allows this to happen.
Like these people would get up and just say whatever they want.
It's crazy.
I read through.
So like I got the copy of the laptop in October of 2020.
Right.
And yeah, I mean, obviously the stuff that we were focusing on was, you know, the foreign crimes and the money and everything.
But, I'd say a good 75% of the messages in there are just this family just bashing each other all the time.
And Hunter going at Jill, Jill going at the daughter, the daughter going at Hunter, Ashley, like they're one of the most dysfunctional families you've ever seen.
And oh, by the way, like this is exactly the kind of family that would take that kind of money and just be spending it like crazy, like would not care.
Hunter's complained that he was expected to bankroll his dad's lifestyle.
Right.
So he said with, yeah, he was complaining that he never got any of the credit, um, in this one email or this one text message that, you know, he was complaining that he never got credit even though he was the one that made all the money.
And it's like, so here's the most important question from the clip.
Is it black or African Americans?
Can we just settle this?
Okay.
It was two different things.
What are you talking about?
Two different things.
Okay.
What is the difference?
So you could, so an African American has a set, um, has a set phrase.
So that means, so for example, if you are an African American, that mean typically means you, what you refer to as an African American descendant of slavery.
Now we have ADOS.
Which is ADOS, which is kind of its own thing.
But for a black American, that's more overarching.
Don Lemon explained all this once.
And then he was actually pointing out.
So then why did they call it black lives matter?
Why did they say it was African American lives matter?
Because it's, I guess because it's a big, well, it's also more of a smaller word.
But it's, um, but he was saying that black Americans would encompass everyone, including like Kamala Harris.
But this is, Don Lemon said this clip, I'm going to be very clear about this, Don Lemon pointed out that he said because Kamala Harris was of Jamaican descent, and therefore did not experience slavery in her lineage, that she was not able to be called African-American.
I think it's got to be black.
And the truth is they redo the vocab every 15 years.
Yes, I know.
But no, she's reading off a script.
I mean, it's kind of weird that the regime is kind of going back to African-American.
Well, the best example of how funny that could get is I did high school debate as a kid, and we had a resolution about Africa.
And I once debated a team, and they said that we should adopt their plan to help Africa because it would help African-Americans.
in Africa.
It's amazing.
Yes.
Which of course leads into the problems, because like, is Elon Musk an African American?
Well, that's the point.
Is that, so if you're a literalist on it, then yeah.
Okay.
Let's, let's now talk about one of our partners.
If you're sick of all this tranny nonsense, I want to brag on Public Square.
PublicSQ.com.
They are our partner this evening for this program.
You should take out your phone and download the Public Square app.
Right now they do an unbelievable job.
This is your navigational tool of the parallel economy, the Patriot economy.
Jack, how great is Public Square?
Public Square is great.
And like Tanya loves it, for example, because she says, look, I, I love to support the guys that support you.
I want to support companies that support what we support.
I don't have time to keep a list and all in my head of who's good and who's bad and everything.
She remembers the big ones, uh, Target, Bud Light, et cetera.
Not that we drink, but it's, What she said is when you're shopping, when you've got kids, when you've got a family, boom, you just go right to Public Square and it does the work for you.
And you're able, it's a business directory we're scrolling through right now, small businesses you can trust.
Michael Seifert comes on our radio program quite often and he does a great job.
You'll see they have all the businesses.
Did you see his?
His new initiative?
Which one?
The baby bonus?
Yeah, no, that's terrific.
It's the opposite of what major corporations are doing, which is they do baby penalties.
They pay for your abortion.
And so it's America's Marketplace.
Join over a million freedom-loving Americans.
They have a million members.
They were just in the top of the App Store.
So take out your phone and download the Public Square app.
They're terrific.
Think very highly of them.
So check it out.
Public Square app, PublicSQ.com.
Okay.
I think we're segueing now into the deep bowels of the internet.
Is that right?
I'm looking at my lineup now.
Wait, are we actually talking about that?
I wasn't serious.
Wait, you really want to, you really want to talk about this?
We have the videos.
We have the videos cut.
No, I know we have the videos, but I thought you guys were joking.
And the fact that Joy Reid didn't notice a smoke detectors going off in her home?
We're doing the deep web?
I'm just being honest.
Like, it's really strange.
So I got sent this video the other day of Joy Reid in her house, you know, I guess it looks like her kitchen living room kind of thing.
Hey, hey, we're not pussyfooting around, Charlie, where she's talking and she's delivering this this video.
You know, just to her audience.
I don't remember what she's talking about.
But all of a sudden, like a couple of seconds in, you hear a smoke detector alarm going off.
Now, not the regular, like a smoke, like a fire is going on, but the battery alert is actually going off throughout the entire video.
And it's like Joy Reid doesn't even know.
Maybe she doesn't notice it.
Maybe she doesn't know what it means.
Maybe she doesn't act.
Maybe she's just normalized that sound in the background.
So here's the best part, Charlie.
We have this clip if we want to do it.
Okay, but before I want to explain, so I went back to check to make sure it was real, because I was like, look, you could you could do that to anybody, you could add the sound effect and make a pet, right?
So I realized this was a repost, I go in to and you can go to TikTok on a on a, on a like a dummy browser.
And and scroll back, Charlie, she has this video still up on her TikTok.
And she killed the audio on it.
Okay, so why is this significant, Jack?
This is significant because it goes back to Adam Carolla, it goes back to Loveline, it goes back to this meme that people who are dumb are just not paying attention to their smoke alarms.
Got it.
So it's an intelligence thing.
Let's play Cut 85.
That would definitely explain Joy Reid.
Weirdly enough, his people, Italians, would not have been considered Americans or worthy Americans like England.
But I digress, given his complete devotion.
And another thing, I have a question.
Why are conservatives so obsessed with wanting to say the n-word?
Okay, so the racist lady is talking about how racist we are, and she's ranting while these smoke detectors chirping in the background.
I don't know why, but I am offended.
you hear all the church now now that this is where we're gonna get a little thought crimey in black culture there is a self-deprecating joke of blacks making fun of themselves that they don't change batteries and smoke detectors do we have that clip play cut 87 first off it's hella ignorant and stereotypical I get it I can take a joke just like the next person.
Like, I understand, like, this is like a joke.
It's supposed to be funny, but I really think we should take into account the stereotypes that really harm our community.
No, cause what?
So we're just playing TikTok videos and you guys can draw your own conclusions.
This is not just this.
It's just TikTok.
Uh, what?
TikTok review on here.
TikTok smoke alarm review.
We got to do it as much as we can before we ban it.
There's people in the comments, right, where they'll come up and I saw this one guy and 4chan was talking about this, of course, which is a terrible website that I've never gone to.
But there was a guy on there talking about how he used to work in like a call center.
And by the way, Adam Carolla, you know, is the guy who really originated this because certain people would call in And all of a sudden in the middle, and this is Loveline, so they would get like very graphic sexual topics, but that was the show, right?
That was the, you know, it was old school.
Like you, we used to be a country where that was fine.
And we were like, whatever, go talk about that on Loveline.
And, but if these idiots would just, and it's every 30 seconds on a loop.
And there was another guy on 4chan talking about how there was one particular, he's a maintenance guy, and there was a particular apartment building that he worked in, and he's like, you would go in there, and it was like a symphony of smoke alarm chirps.
That just like, this one, and then this one, and this one.
Like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-do.
But is there a cultural reason in the black community why that this is considered to be a self-described stereotype?
I think it's, is there something I'm missing?
I think the Joyread video, you know, sparked a lot of people and that, and I guess on, and I don't spend enough time on TikTok, but I have to ask, um, I have to ask, uh, Haya about this, lives at TikTok, but it's, it sparked a lot of people saying, Oh, Oh, uh, you know, is this like a black thing to only black people do this?
And now it's just become this meme that people have completely exploded on TikTok.
I will say this, I would think that it's generally a rule in black culture that louder environments they're okay with, more so than not.
Is that fair to say?
I don't know about any race doing this, but when there's one on my wall that I can't reach, I literally will just like chuck things at it until it breaks, until we're just completely ripped out of the wall.
But by the way, this is, you know, I can't stand that when it goes off, like I have to, I have to do it right away.
Change it or move on.
Yeah.
Change it or like, or like sell the house and then move to another house.
There's a dark undercurrent to this, which is just that like, if this was a more okay thing to joke about, like smoke alarms do save lives, guys.
You should change the batteries of your smoke detectors.
Are there, are there stats on that?
I'm sure there probably are.
detectors change lives no no no i'm talking about no no no i'm talking about are there stats broken down by uh deaths by fatalities by fire or you know i'm sure there probably are i don't have them off the top of my head no i don't know i remember even in the thread that you had on twitter there were people responding to it saying that like during zoom school with covid that dc public school official that's right this came up yes
They were like, wait, we have to do a smoke detector, change your batteries thing, because they kept hearing that all these kids had expired smoke detectors in there.
Let's play cut 89.
Just enjoy.
This is a gift to myself.
It's the RM-3502.
Red Nadal.
That's another 400,000 right here.
And yeah, we do got also two carats each with Stone VVS.
And we got the two carats on the neck.
This was 23 and 0.
Got him.
Well, it's not that they can't afford batteries.
So what people are doing now... It's not a financial pressure.
So Charlie, what they're doing on 4chan now is they're digging through, combing through TikTok, just going to random people's accounts, like searching various hashtags, whatever it is, to try to find more examples of the smoke alarm phenomenon.
And what are we learning from the phenomenon?
We're learning that this seems to be, as you said, a cultural or... We are learning, Jack, that Americans have become very concerned with the fire safety of their fellow citizens.
I'm very concerned with fire safety.
You're right.
It actually is a real thing.
Like, we don't want people dying because their smoke alarms aren't being checked.
Yeah, I mean, if there was one thing to try...
Charlie Kirk and friends are opposed to fire death.
If there was one thing to shame a community on, it's not changing battery smoke detector shame.
Hey, change your smoke detector batteries.
Just fix your smoke detector right now.
Just go and do it.
Yeah.
Just go and do it anyway.
Wait, did you guys?
Did you guys hear something?
Alright, we want to get to some, uh, what do they call them?
Rumble Rants?
Is that what they call it?
Rumble Chats?
Something like that?
Yeah, it's a... I'm not gonna read these.
This is not good.
No, I can't read this stuff.
This is all like... See, these people are anonymously writing things that should only be written on anonymous chats.
So, okay, how about this one?
Someone says, they gave $100, thank you, David.
It is written, righteousness, Philippians 4, 8, finally, brothers, whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, or commendable.
If there's anything excellence worthy of praise, just think on those things.
I do not know what that translation is, because typically it is said the opposite, but yes, that is a beautiful verse, and thank you.
Usually it is, think on these things, not just.
Someone just said in the comments, that's definitely something we don't want to culturally appropriate.
Yeah.
I'm just thinking back.
I'm just trying to think back to like when mine went out, I literally just ripped out of the wall.
I was like, rip them out of the wall if you can't get them.
I've done that.
I don't, I've done it.
I feel like we're in a new century here.
How do we not have like a better solution for stuff like this?
Like, but changing batteries is not this.
Yeah.
But the house are not like a better solution for the entire, the general public on things like smoke alarms.
We're just in a, we're, we're living in a, This is why we're living in an alternate reality.
Well, I suppose the idea is that you don't want your smoke alarm to be wired because if they have a wired, you're supposed to have like a backup battery.
Yeah.
So what I'm saying is if, if the, if the fire burns through the wire, then you're screwed.
Then you're screwed because the electricity is out.
And so you have no idea that the fire is going on because you're asleep.
There just seems like there's technological advances that should have us far beyond having to change like 9-volt batteries and these things.
Someone said they want a Wilfred remake of the remake with Jack Posobiec as Ryan.
Well, email us freedom at charliekirk.com if you so choose.
Who's ever got Super Chats in here?
Rumble Chats?
Yep.
I see this one, David.
Yeah, this guy's saying most building codes call for a hardwired with a battery backup.
Right, that's exactly right.
Yeah, hardwired with a battery backup.
But not all are hardwired though.
Like old buildings don't have them hardwired, it's just battery.
Right, but I'm saying that's why you need the battery.
Because if something happens to the wire, then you still need a battery in there, or else you're done.
Yep.
My uncle's house burned down from a hardwired smoke detector.
It was covered in grease while he was using a tank to burn away the grease.
I hope he was okay.
I have a lot of questions on that one.
I have a lot of questions.
Someone said, it broke my heart how sad Charlie was to see the chat just now.
How sad I was to see the comments.
Rumble Randy 66 says we should call out the Masons.
So Masons, consider yourselves called out.
Masons, you're done.
It's over.
It's all over.
The Freemasons or the Masons?
Enjoy the new show reminds me the Arizona election coverage.
I mean, that's that's basically like.
So the behind the scenes part of this is that, you know, and Charlie, you know, you talked about this and, and said, look, we, we had some pretty cool, pretty cool late night chats and we got into all sorts of different, because it was, remember we were waiting for the ballot drops and, and then the ballot drops were coming.
I want to talk about that.
We're going to do that again.
I know.
And we will do it again.
It's coming again, everybody.
But my point is, is that The ballot drops were always staggered.
And sometimes it would be 45 minutes.
Sometimes it would be 90 minutes.
And there would be times where we just needed to talk about something.
And like, we were talking about like movies we watched at different times and all sorts of just random general stuff.
And it turned out that people kind of liked the random general stuff type chats.
And we always talked about, hey, why don't we do a show where we can, you know, do some politics, but then just get into all like these Other categories that wouldn't necessarily fit on a regular show.
Here we are talking about so much.
We need to show everybody Suarez's campaign logo.
Put up the Suarez campaign logo.
This is, uh, this is the mayor of Miami.
That's it.
This is like a real thing.
This is Microsoft paint.
Like good for him.
Like he's saving.
He's kind of, this guy's not a big spender.
This looks like something I saved in Miami.
A lot of money.
That looks like it was real.
It was on his campaign stuff.
It's like something a make a wish kid would make.
He posted it and then he posted and then they replaced it.
Cause I think they got, they got this website.
I can't find it.
You didn't even have a website.
Our staff told me that he didn't even have a website.
And then he did this.
But I have a theory as to why he's running for the presidency.
Why?
Because he's about to be indicted by the Department of Justice for corruption, and if you run for the presidency, it's a lower likelihood of getting indicted.
So what's the... Because there's that long-standing memo that they broke with Trump, which is if you're running for office that we don't... No, no, no, I mean what are the allegations on Suarez?
Fraud or something, or corruption, or what basically every major mayor does in America, which is take money from developers and... Right.
Lie about it, take some money for your families and get the building built quicker.
The Wire is a great show about this.
Yeah, it's also like living in Chicago.
It's what happened for the last hundred years.
But fewer and fewer people are living in Chicago by the day.
I mean...
That population is going down.
You mean because they're moving away, right Blake?
And other ways.
Well, they're in a vehicle.
Some people moved to Texas, some people moved to Florida, and some people moved to hell.
The numbers today.
June to date, 25 shot and killed in Chicago, 123 shot and wounded, 148 total shot and 27 total homicides.
Year to date, 254 people in Chicago, 1,018 shot and wounded, 1,272 with 276 total homicides.
Year-to-date, 254 people in Chicago, 1,018 shot and wounded, 1,272 with 276 total homicides.
The summer of joy is continuing, and that is all to blame.
For what?
That's a lot of white supremacy.
That's a war zone.
Yeah, but it's and even NPR has talked about how actually car vehicular homicides are up in the wake of all this because One of the very first things that you remember that started in George Floyd's America was that police officers were being told, it wasn't even like there was orders that went out.
It was just this sort of general sense that we're gonna stop policing.
Violent crime was number one, but number two was pulling over drivers, and particularly pulling over black drivers.
And you can look at this, and I'll try this so it doesn't lead to your situation, but it has- No, the driver was white that tried to kill me.
Right, but what I'm saying is it has led to an absolute increase in reckless driving in every in every major geopolitical area in the United States, and which has also contributed to the rise in black fatalities.
Yeah, you can check like it's kind of just like you can look at the murder chart and it just shoots up overnight when George Floyd happens and then the press is all like it must be COVID.
Right, right, right.
And then, same thing, you can see it with traffic deaths, like pedestrian deaths, those go up.
It's like way less safe to be a pedestrian in like a, in a black city or a black neighborhood.
Yes.
It's because like, we told the cops to stop protecting them, I guess.
That's exactly, well, in Mesa, Arizona, we've had... And we were giving everyone stimulus checks.
Well, in Mesa, Arizona, we've had homelessness go up.
Whatever it is, like 40-fold in the last five years, six years.
Why would you be homeless in Mesa and not, like, literally anywhere else?
But here's the connection.
Here's the connection.
They're homeless, and so what has gone up?
People getting hit on the street, just, like, crossing roads, just getting absolutely pummeled and run over just by cars, just vehicular.
That's the number one thing.
So we have people, significantly more people dying from just, like, getting hit on the road because homelessness has gone through the roof, which is only happening because of liberal policies.
Simmons is really impressed by this new guy, Blaine.
He's very smart and has the kind of masculine beard my grandson wants to grow.
But my grandson, his hair may not have the same effect.
Thank you, Blaine.
Other super chat.
If you know, you know.
If you don't get this, too bad.
Blake is the Timcast Ian of this show.
I don't know who Timcast Ian is, unfortunately.
He's like a medical Gnosticist who chimes in every so often.
I was going to give him the Lennon of this show, but... Vladimir Lennon.
I can go for that.
All right, everybody.
Let's see if we have a couple more Rumble Rants to do.
So we're going to be doing this every Thursday, everybody.
Obviously, we do our normal shows.
I do mine every day from 12 to 3 Eastern.
Jack, when do you do your show?
2 to 3.
Right after.
And kind of in between, I hand the baton off to Jack.
And we have a lot of fun.
Every Thursday at 8 p.m.
Eastern, we are going to be doing this.
And so, mark your calendars as we continue to do Thought Crimes here.
Do we have any Rumble Rants remaining to acknowledge that I might be... I've seen a lot of Wawa chats, by the way.
Shout out to all the Wawa supporters out there.
Jonathan's asking you if you've had a saltwater taffy lately.
Wait, are we a Wawa show?
Not a Sheets show?
Yes.
A hundred percent.
Okay.
If you insist.
Absolutely.
And I guarantee that next time when I'm on here, if I'm remote, I'm going to have my Wawa half gallon with me.
All right.
All right.
What about Buc-ee's?
We're pro Buc-ee's, right?
Yeah.
Buc-ee's is one of the most amazing American institutions ever.
I've still never been to Buc-ee's.
You go to Buc-ee's and you're like, believe in America.
I've never gone to Buc-ee's.
You go to Buc-ee's and you're like, America's not in decline.
We're going to completely kick China's ass.
I mean, everybody tells me about Buc-ee's, but I've never actually gone to Buc-ee's.
Oh no, Buc-ee's.
I mean, for people that have not been to Buc-ee's like you, imagine Costco as a turn-off gas station on a highway.
I don't like Costco, though.
No, no, no.
You don't understand.
Size-wise.
And by the way, it's the cleanest bathrooms.
They brag to have the cleanest bathrooms, and it's true.
All right.
And the food is ridiculous.
You're like, I'm just here to get gas, and all of a sudden you leave.
It's just so high intensity.
You go in, it's impeccably run, and then as you're checking out, there's this giant sign assaulting you that's like, do you want to join the Buc-ee's team?
We'll pay you a crap load of money if you do it, but we're really insane.
It's a cult.
My buddy from Texas actually did get me something from Buc-ee's recently.
What are they called?
The Nuggets?
The Beaver Nuggets?
Yeah, the Nuggets.
The Nuggets.
They're kind of like corn pops, actually.
But, you know, you don't eat them as cereal, but they're definitely like corn pops.
They're pretty good.
They have like a wall of jerky.
I love jerky.
I'm a little bit oppositional to it just because I'm oppositional to everything Texas.
I'm not against Texans.
I'm just saying like... What do you mean?
Texans.
I'm with Tyler.
I'm an Arizona guy.
Texans put everything out front.
And so it's like, so I, it makes me immediately want to compete.
We need our own version of Buc-ee's.
We need a Buc-ee's competitor outside of Texas.
Yeah.
That's something with Arizona.
And I, I just got to say this as like an East coast, you know, convenience store snob where we, where we have like, we have sheets, we have Wawa.
We have Rutters.
We have so many different things.
When you come to Arizona, it's like Circle K. No, no, no.
We have Quick Trip.
But Quick Trip's not from Arizona.
It's not from Arizona.
It's from Kansas City or something.
There's no, like, Arizona convenience stores.
But Quick Trip is like this thing.
It's a desert out here.
It's horrible.
Absolutely horrible.
Quick Trip is loved here, though.
That's like the thing.
Not by me.
QT is, like, loved here.
Yeah, it's loved by, like, the federal dealers.
It doesn't hold a candle to Bucky's, though.
Pretty sure I saw a guy dealing fentanyl as a creature this morning.
Buc-ee's is basically an amusement park as you turn off.
It's like a rest stop that all of a sudden became.
And people are asking where it is.
They're mostly in Texas, and there's a few in the south.
It's like a highway.
They're expanding.
They raised a bunch of money.
They're in Tennessee now.
There's one in Missouri.
There's locations.
They're mostly in Texas.
Yeah, they have a ton in Alabama now, Florida, Kentucky, and yeah, Texas.
I mean, that's the biggest one.
I remember the first time I went to Buc-ee's, I couldn't believe it.
I said, this has got to be a joke.

Jack, besides changing your smoke detector batteries, what other... Look, all I'm saying is, before you go to enjoy your glory hole, change your smoke detector battery right away, and make sure, before you go to that hole, that you are not stepping up to a trap.
With fake boobs.

This is Thought Crimes, and I'm afraid we are in the world that Orwell predicted And we will continue down the thought crime lane to prevent episodes like this to be memory hold.
Any other 1984 references, everybody?

There you go.
