	From the age of Big Brother.
	If they want to get you, they'll get you.
	The NSA specifically targets the communications of everyone.
	They're collecting your communications.
	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of Thought Prime Thursday, the This is Jack Posobiec coming to you from...
	A little bit of an undisclosed location, but I am here in Washington, D.C., where Kash Patel was just named and confirmed as your next FBI director at CPAC Week.
	There's a lot going on.
	Charlie Kirk will be joining us in a little bit, but welcome once again to Thought Crime Thursday.
	I believe we have Blake Neff on the line as well.
	What's up, Blake?
	Howdy, Jack.
	Are you in some kind of laundry room there?
	This is a very official studious office right now that I'm borrowing from.
	Because let's just say there are shenanigans afoot this evening.
	And we believe we also have the great Andrew Colvett joining us.
	That's right.
	I am.
	And by the way, if Washington, D.C. is good at anything, it's laundry.
	Oh, there you go.
	Much better than the Ukrainian oligarchs I was hanging out with last week.
	No, I was not sent to the front lines, by the way, like Blake Neff would have us told.
	No, I was not shanghaied by Zelensky and the deployment enlistment squad.
	Okay, hold on.
	Jack, let me set the stage here properly for Jack here.
	So all of a sudden, my Google alerts start going, bing, bing, bing, bing.
	And I'm like, what the heck is going on?
	And Jack is traveling Europe with Pete Hegseth.
	But wait, there's more.
	And then Scott Besson.
	So our very own Jack Posobiec was an international traveling political superstar last week.
	Jack, tell us what it was like traveling with two of the all-star secretaries of the Trump administration.
	Being invited by Secretary Hegseth and Secretary Besant with these European trips, with this really being this massive Trump delegation, a peace delegation, by the way, to Europe, one to NATO, and then another, which started out as a secret trip, which was then announced by President Trump as we were on the way to Kiev, Ukraine, with Secretary Besant with this mineral deal that everyone's talked about.
	Then, of course, JD Vance and Munich on the heels of that.
	Look, I'll say it like this.
	It's a huge honor, but it's also a huge responsibility.
	President Trump's White House has embraced what I believe is called radical transparency.
	And this radical transparency includes, by the way, not just bringing in new media and independent media like yours truly, a co-host here on Thought Prime, Human Defense Daily, but it's also all the people that follow us on social media, all the people that come to us, and really just the ability to put everyone.
	On social media, on X. We're not giving you the sanitized, editorialized tapes that you're used to getting from mainstream media.
	The Trump administration actually is committed to radical transparency.
	And, of course, as you say, they were losing their minds that I would be invited on these trips.
	And I said, what?
	Look, what are you afraid of me showing?
	What actually happens behind closed doors?
	Because that's exactly what we did.
	I took people directly into the meetings.
	I showed people what it was like.
	We put up a whole special episode.
	We called it the Night Train to Kiev that people can go see at Human Events Daily on podcasts or wherever.
	And we can actually show you what it's like traveling to Kiev in wartime, being there with the secretary, having these discussions, and then, of course, the world leaders losing their minds that President Trump...
	Would conduct himself with this direct diplomacy in ways that we haven't seen really since the 19th century in many ways.
	But again, just an absolute honor and a big responsibility, of course, to go there and also tell the story in an accurate way and give all of our viewers the ability to be there as well.
	So, Jack, what did it feel like in Ukraine?
	Does it feel like business as usual?
	Does it feel like a war-torn country?
	I'm actually really curious about this because I think that the press coverage of Ukraine, the conflict with Russia, the war with Russia has been pretty abysmal.
	Like I don't see a lot of on the ground like vibe checks.
	I don't see a lot of the reporting you would actually see normally or you'd expect to see.
	And I think there's probably some really obvious reasons why we can get into that.
	But like, what did it actually feel like?
	This is me, just like an organic question.
	I'm super curious.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So, I mean, you know, we're in Kiev, so we're in the capital.
	Look, Ukraine's a massive country.
	So Kiev, of course, itself is away from the far front line.
	So pretty several hours away.
	But actually, as we were there at the same time...
	As an understanding of the seriousness of the war, there was actually a missile strike that hit Kiev the very morning that we arrived in the city.
	It was one of those ones that kind of got deflected.
	And so the shrapnel and different pieces of the missiles that were coming down, I don't know what the intended target was, but they hit some residential areas.
	And in fact, we visited a hospital that had been hit back last summer.
	So this is a real war.
	This is something where people have been normalized.
	It's been three years now, in a sense, but people are used to now living on a regular basis with air raid sirens, with missile strikes coming down, with having to see the first responders.
	Fire trucks and ambulances racing all hours of the night to respond to one of these things to hopefully get people out if there are civilians that are wrapped up in any of this, which of course does unfortunately happen.
	And I'll give you an example.
	And by the way, for the average person, it seemed like, you know, the air raid sirens go off and they're nonplussed by it because they're almost used to it after three years.
	Andrew, we go to the Hilton in Kiev, so the Hilton in downtown Kiev, and we're only there for an hour.
	They say, get off the train, go shower, shave, get your suit on, because, you know, we're going to the Prime Minister, and then the Ministry of Finance, and then finally President Trump.
	And so we go in, and as we're, you know, just sort of doing the registration and checking in, there's a little...
	Little piece of paper there.
	And, you know, usually they would say, like, oh, this is what time breakfast is served or whatever.
	And they had a very nice breakfast, actually, continental breakfast.
	And then there was also a little map on it that said, oh, in case of air raids, our closest bunker is right across the street.
	So just located there.
	So when the air raid siren goes off, don't worry.
	Just file down here.
	You'll see everyone.
	We'll go across the street.
	We'll hide out in the bunker there until it's over.
	And they were just kind of walking through this as if it was part of the normal process.
	Like, yeah, the gym's open this time to this time.
	The breakfast is this time to this time.
	And this is where the air raid bunker is across the street if you should use it during your stay.
	So it's kind of surreal in the sense where there's almost like an eerie normalcy to it over there.
	But as a guy who doesn't live there, it's like, wait, what do you mean the air raid?
	You know, obviously it's very jarring as well.
	I mean, that kind of reminds me of my experiences in Israel, by the way, where it was just like, you know, people kind of with this imminent threat of, you know, missiles landing somewhere near them and rockets flying over their heads.
	I think the human experience is that you kind of normalize these things and you learn to live with them, but it's a very tragic thing.
	I think that on this note, Jack, that some of our audience could misconstrue our anti-continuing the war stance.
	You know, as being anti-Ukraine.
	It's not what it is.
	Like, we're very pro-Ukrainian people.
	It's a tragedy that all these people have died.
	A whole generation of Ukrainians have died in this conflict.
	But it doesn't change the point that this war never should have happened.
	It was unwinnable.
	I mean, Blake, you could probably summarize better than any of us.
	But the, you know, JD Vance had this five-point breakdown of why...
	The tone out of this administration is, it could feel anti-Ukraine, but it's not.
	There was a line that, I said this to, I forget if it was Politico or one of the interviews that I gave recently, and they said, well, who do you think is winning the war?
	Who do you want to win the war?
	And they want you to put you in this box where you say, Ukraine versus Russia, Ukraine versus Russia, Ukraine versus Russia.
	And I'm like, look, look, first of all, as an American, I want America to win.
	But as a human being, I said, look.
	I want the people to win and I want the oligarchs to lose on both sides, on any side.
	That's what they don't understand about populist nationalists.
	Populist nationalists want people in any country to be free from war, to be free from being maimed and killed and blown up and destroyed.
	This is the second time, the second visit that I've made there during the...
	It started three years ago.
	First time was in May of 2022, just a couple of weeks after it began, a couple months, I guess.
	But they don't want to hear that perspective because they want to have this sort of like Marvel movie version of reality where it's, you know, it's good guys and bad guys, good versus evil and, you know, play up to those that like 14-year-old version of events as if you are a 14-year-old, I mean, as opposed to looking at the reality on the ground and saying, look, you know, this stuff is academic for us as Americans.
	We get to root for our favorite team, like, you know, you're watching the Super Bowl or something, or, you know, USA Canada is going to be tonight.
	And, of course, we're rooting for the team.
	But in a hockey game or a football game, you know, there aren't people blown to bits and coming home in body bags.
	So, no, it's not like rooting on a sports team at all.
	It's the real war, and total war is the realest thing that can possibly happen in a society.
	And it's something where it should be avoided at all costs, if at all.
	And that's obviously what President Trump and J.D. Vance were elected to do, and that's what they're doing.
	Yeah, I mean, I just remember Trump's town hall with Caitlin Collins was one of the first big events of the last campaign.
	And she pressed him on the Ukrainian conflict and he said, I just want the killing to stop.
	I just want the killing to stop.
	And at the end of the day, that is the most important thing.
	And we can debate Out, you know, how much territory they need to seed, whether this was winnable at all.
	We can debate Biden's strategy of a ton of different things.
	But the bottom line is, like, we want the killing to stop.
	Ukrainians are good people.
	We want the killing to stop.
	Yeah, it's good people.
	And this is a cousin word, by the way.
	To Christian nations, right?
	To the Christians out there, do you really want to see another war where Christians are getting blown up, where Christians are being killed?
	And, you know, at the end of the day, people want to sit there and say what they want about it.
	They use this phrase in the military all the time.
	And they say, look, you know, you've got your plans, you've got your operational.
	They call it a concept of operations.
	So you have your concept of operations.
	But a good operational planner will always remember that guess what?
	The end is a vote.
	The enemy gets a vote.
	And in the real world, you can't just do whatever you want.
	If you're at the park and you see a bear that's sleeping and you go up and start poking him and the bear attacks you, you can't turn around and say, oh, well, I didn't attack the bear.
	It's a real world.
	It's just a real world.
	And unfortunately, we can't change reality.
	So the best we can do is manage our perceptions of reality, manage our expectations of reality, and live in the world as it is that we're given.
	Well said.
	Blake, any thoughts?
	Do you want to read that comment?
	Nothing about that.
	No.
	So we are live tonight.
	That's why we're waiting on Charlie here.
	We have Ben Lovejoy donated $5.
	Thank you, Ben.
	And he said, I'm just here to say, I love America.
	God bless.
	Every one of you.
	And I'm so proud to watch Rumble grow.
	We're proud to watch Rumble grow.
	And we also love America, which is why we're very excited tonight.
	Because I guess if you're listening to this when you download it over the weekend, this will be old news by now.
	But as we're recording this, they are doing the USA-Canada hockey rematch in Boston.
	As of this moment, America's trailing, so hopefully that situation changes later on tonight.
	But we have a pretty good clip where...
	Do we have that clip ready to go?
	President Trump called into the team before the game started?
	Yeah, 243. Yeah, go ahead and play.
	I'll talk to the guys if they're around.
	Yeah, they are.
	I'm going to walk into the locker room right now, and you can speak to the guys firsthand.
	Mr. President, can you hear me?
	I can.
	You guys are really talented.
	I have great respect for hockey players.
	I'm a hockey man.
	I love hockey.
	The talent, the skill that you have is crazy.
	And just go out and have a good time tonight, and I just want to wish you a lot of luck.
	You really are a skilled group of people.
	It's an honor to talk to you, and it has I can tell you honestly, every person in here, players, staff, management coaches, we are all proud Americans and we want to represent our country the best way we can and do our best to bring in a win tonight.
	Thank you again on behalf of everybody.
	You just go out and have a good time.
	You're going to win.
	And we love America and we love you guys.
	We'll be watching tonight.
	Bring it home.
	Thank you.
	Bring it home.
	Right after that, they went out, and then they played the national anthem, and two things.
	One, I'm told the performance of the Canadian national anthem was very bad, but I didn't hear it.
	But I'm told the performance was quite...
	I don't know.
	It was tragic, apparently.
	And then we're having a debate about this, but I think we have this clip ready to go.
	The crowd did, they did boo the Canadian anthem, possibly both for its quality and for, you know, we have some blood between us.
	We don't like booing anthems.
	We like to be polite, but I think we can agree they did boo ours first.
	Do we have that clip?
	Can we play that one quick?
	Speed cycle into the zone.
	Flipping it through.
	Scores.
	Game tied.
	As Team USA has answered.
	And away goes Larkin.
	It's a 2-1-1.
	Larkin scores.
	Dylan Larkin and Team USA has the lead. .
	Okay, I thought we had the one from tonight.
	That was the one from earlier this week.
	Hopefully we'll get something very similar tonight.
	Right now we're about eight minutes into the game.
	We are down 1-0, but we started down 1-0 in the last one.
	It's hockey.
	You are generally able to score more than once in hockey, unlike soccer, for example.
	So we'll work on getting that.
	We've got the clip coming.
	We've got another clip.
	Yeah, Jen Central, 1776, also donated $5.
	Thank you, Jen.
	Get on those campuses, guys.
	Keep hitting them back.
	Everyone watching the U.S. hockey team, kick some booty USA. Thank you, Jen.
	I want to know, do we have any...
	No, because I can look this up.
	I'm on the ESPN or whatever, and I can see the score, and I can see the box score a little bit.
	But what about the fights?
	Have there been any fights yet?
	Because last time we got like three fights, the Kachuk brothers were just bashing them like the old Bash brothers in the Flyers days.
	But I want to know how many fights there are, and I don't see that in the play-by-play here.
	There's no fights so far as far as I can tell, but I have to imagine we'll eventually get a nice good throwdown.
	Or, no, it looks like there was a fight about 30 seconds in.
	There was?
	It was like a shoving edge.
	It wasn't the full down, like drop the gloves.
	It was more just like in football when the guys get in their face and the ref comes in and separates them.
	I'm sure it'll overheat.
	I'm sure it'll boil over eventually and we'll get a nice good...
	As the joke goes, I went to a fight last night and a hockey game broke out.
	I'm sure we'll get positive developments.
	One thing I always like about hockey is that hockey is one of the only games where fighting is like, it's like a part of the game.
	There's rules about it.
	There's certain penalty time allotted to it.
	Other, you know, like football, it's okay, you get a personal foul or something, but it isn't something that's institutionalized in the game and normalized in the game the way it is in hockey.
	And so when that game, I guess it was last week when that match took place, The morning after, I just sat both of my sons down.
	I had just gotten home from Ukraine, too, when the game was on.
	I was just, you need to watch these kids.
	You need to watch, you know, the United States of America just kicking the crap out of some Canucks.
	Because, honestly, they really deserve it for booing the national anthem.
	But in general, there's this energy, this vibe that's going on with America now.
	That's set, obviously, by President Trump.
	That, look, we're back.
	We're here to stay.
	We're not going anywhere.
	And when it gets in our face, like, you're...
	Well, okay, but on that note, the Canadians, you'll see this on, like, you know, some of the Canadian Twitter accounts, they'll say, you guys started it by calling us the 51st state and by saying that, you know, Trudeau should be Governor Trudeau.
	So, what do you say to that, Blake?
	I mean, I think this is mostly in good fun.
	I don't...
	Well, maybe not for Trump.
	Trump seems pretty sincere about his efforts to acquire Canada, but I think most of us probably don't care to acquire Canada.
	I do not want to acquire Canada.
	It's a country with a lot of problems.
	I'm okay with Canada remaining like a rogue province to the north.
	I would take Alberta.
	No, they trick you with this.
	They trick you with this where they say Alberta is Canada's Texas, but...
	Canada's doing a lot more work there than the Texas is in that term.
	Canada's national identity is being more lib than America.
	I don't think you want to add the 40 million more lib than America Canadians.
	Their national sport is basically committing assisted suicide.
	It's a strange country, man.
	We love Canada.
	We can still beat them in hockey.
	If you're listening to Canada, you're one of the good ones, and we love you.
	For sure, for sure.
	Greenland, I'm all in for.
	I'm all in for Greenland.
	And Panama.
	It doesn't have the baggage.
	Well, Panama is ours by right.
	So Panama is ours, and that shouldn't even be a question.
	That shouldn't even be a discussion.
	That's actually ours.
	There was a historical issue, a historical mistake that obviously needs to be corrected.
	We're just going to go and hit undo on that one, just like we're hitting undo nationally when it comes to the Biden administration, the Obama administration, and the Carter administration as well.
	Blake, of course, and I have spoken in the past about how we should do that as well with a number of pieces of the 1960s while we're at it.
	It's a joke.
	It's ours by right.
	It's ours by right of the fact that we built it, that we bled for it, that Red, White and Blue created it, and it would not exist otherwise.
	When it comes to Greenland, by the way, and I made this comment here on the program a couple of weeks ago, I'll say it again.
	The United States has provided the defensive shield for Greenland since World War II. And yes, that does.
	Grant us certain rights to it, whether you like it or not.
	Look, sovereignty is a key point of sovereignty.
	And Blake, I love your thoughts on this.
	A key point of sovereignty, as J.D. Vance pointed out vis-a-vis NATO, is being able to defend yourselves.
	If you are not able to defend your own nation, then are you really a fully sovereign nation?
	Probably not.
	So when all of Europe is saying, oh, we're going to have this army of Europe and we're going to control ourselves and we're going to defend ourselves, okay, yeah, go for it.
	But the reason you have the welfare state that you do in Europe...
	It's because the United States provides for your defense.
	So that's why they all have the free universities and the free health care and all the rest of the stuff, because they don't have to pay for defense.
	But then on the flip side of that, what did they do?
	They completely destroyed their birth rates.
	And so they started importing all these migrants from the third world.
	So you've got no defense.
	You've got institutions that are completely collapsing.
	And you've got this huge third world influx, which J.D. Vance rightly pointed out is the...
	The largest threat to Europe.
	It's so simple.
	But Blake, I'd love to hear your thoughts on that sovereignty point right there.
	Yeah, well it's funny because Canada used to have a pretty effective military.
	It was within the realm of that.
	They actually had a very large military in World War II. They were a full contributor in that one.
	And they kept...
	ANZAC! Yeah, and they stuck around.
	I don't think they were in ANZAC. That was Australians.
	But they had their own very good military.
	And then even into recent history, their reputation was, you know, it was small, but it was effective.
	It was competent.
	They would join us on a lot of our conflicts abroad.
	But it's one of those, you know, many different things where they've just, they've certainly followed many of the same patterns we've had where you can watch the videos and you'll have some like...
	Fat person who can't run a mile is in the Canadian military.
	And it's a very welcoming place if you want to affirm your 18 different gender identities within government employment.
	And everything about Canada is sort of sad because Canada was a real country with a real identity.
	And you can look this up.
	They expressly had their elites said, we're going to make Canada the first post-national country.
	And we're just going to import as many people as possible from all around the world.
	And the idea was Canada will be a superpower if we can make us have 100 million people by just bringing the entire world here, go all out.
	And instead, it's just, it's horribly messed them up.
	You can actually go look at the charts.
	We used to be about equal in our incomes and now America's way richer than Canada.
	Canada has all the problems America has where no one can afford a home.
	No one can, like, create a family.
	No one, like, their health is going downhill.
	Except in America, we at least still...
	We still make a good amount of money.
	In Canada, they don't even have that.
	You can go to Toronto.
	A house costs as much as San Francisco, except you get paid like you just live in Kansas City.
	Plus, it's awful weather.
	It's cold.
	I don't mind cold weather.
	You're the one who has to live in exile in Santa Barbara.
	Uh, Andrew, but I, I like the Midwestern.
	You're from South Dakota, which is approximately similar, but like in general, Canada does not have great weather.
	I will say like in British Columbia, you'll actually get some great weather.
	Uh, surprisingly, it's pretty rainy, but it's a pretty temperate climate in British, British Columbia and gorgeous, by the way, man, talk about a beautiful cities.
	Vancouver, Canada is a legitimately gorgeous city.
	Um, but it looks like, I mean, you know, Canada is projected, this is like the statcan.gc.ca, number of proportion of foreign-born population in Canada, on their own website, they have it projected at over 25% in 2036. This is their own website.
	This is a dramatic, dramatic graph.
	graph.
	I'm going to try and pull this up for you guys.
	But it's like, I mean, they're like pumped about this, you know, that they're losing to Blake's point, like a national identity.
	And it's just because they're flooding the zone so quickly and they have no problem with it.
	Yeah, at this point, Canada's national identity is just being like anti-America.
	That's basically their whole, you know, their whole...
	We're anti-America, and America is big and loud.
	And Pierre Polivet, or however you say his name, Pierre Polivet, the apple-eating guy, who I've always said from that very minute that he put that video out, that it's just very rude and kind of disgusting to eat on camera like that while you're talking to someone.
	So he decided in this moment to attack President Trump.
	Rather than side with President Trump against Trudeau, which is just, to me, seems like the most politically brain-dead thing you could do at a moment like this.
	So you're going to side with the European leaders.
	You're going to side with all of the people that are like Adam Schiff and Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi and all the rest and attack Trump.
	And try to call yourself Canada first by attacking Trump rather than saying, yes, President Trump is right about the current government.
	We do need to do better in Canada.
	And Trudeau's been in power for how long there?
	It would be such an obvious political move to rally the people like those great freedom truckers that we saw in the Freedom Convoy a couple of years ago.
	But no, he decided to say, and if you remember, by the way, I've seen this out on a couple of places where Trudeau is actually coming out and saying that he's taking the opposite track.
	He's saying that we do need to embrace America.
	America is our partner.
	We do need to work together.
	So I don't know.
	It might just be that Trudeau is a better politician than old Pierre, the Apple leader.
	That's the graph, by the way.
	If you could put that back up in the middle of us.
	That's the graph.
	I cannot imagine.
	I mean, what is America at right now?
	14% foreign-born or something like that, Blake, which is already, you know, maxing the population and stressing the culture.
	I mean, which is one of the reasons President Trump got elected.
	But living in a country, I mean, this is on their website.
	Like, from their national, like, statistical, whatever that is, StatCan, you know, Statistics Canada.
	To live in a country bordering on 30% by 2036 of foreign-born population in Canada, that's extraordinary.
	And the amount of social upheaval that you would experience in a country with nearly 30% foreign-born is pretty unthinkable, actually.
	And I don't think Canada yet fully appreciates that unless they're all ready to subdue themselves and submit themselves to Foreign, you know, invaders that will then have power over them because that's what's going to happen.
	They will not have the will, the national identity or the internal, you know, strength, constitution to overcome these foreigners that are going to tell them how to live and how to vote and how to run their country.
	So Canada is a lost project.
	And I think, Blake, you might know this better than...
	Essentially, Trudeau has said he's going to step down, but he's going to serve until something happens, essentially.
	So it was kind of a...
	Everybody celebrated it, but it was kind of like, once you actually think about it, he's basically able to survive as a lame duck.
	Andrew, here.
	Actually, it's time to pill people on Canada.
	This is an important thing to know about Canada.
	Because Canada is a fake democracy.
	To an actual ludicrous degree, and they don't get called out on this nonsense.
	Trudeau said he's just going to step down until his party picks a new leader.
	He's the head of the Liberal Party.
	They would need a new leader who will be the Prime Minister.
	That guy will go into the next election.
	But here's what's bullcrap about it.
	In Canada, the parties are vastly more centralized than they are in the U.S. In the U.S., you have the Republicans and Democrats.
	There's only two parties, but...
	A random real estate guy can just roll in and hijack the GOP and say, oh, it's my shindig now, and he can just take the party's presidential nomination.
	And then there can be other Republicans who don't like it, and they oppose him in the Senate, in the House, in running for governor, all of that.
	It's a big tent party.
	In Canada, it's super centralized.
	The Liberal Party picks who their leader is, and then there is no dissent.
	Everyone in the Canadian Parliament...
	Who's in the Liberal Party has to vote the way Justin Trudeau tells them to, or he kicks them out.
	Period.
	And who actually picks the leader?
	Just anyone who's a member of the Liberal Party.
	How many people is that?
	I'd have to check the exact number, but I think it might literally be under 100,000 people in Canada.
	It is not a lot of people who are official members of parties.
	So...
	You basically have who decides who are the candidates for prime minister in Canada?
	It's literally a few tens of thousands of people who bother to vote in the party leadership races, and then that guy decides the agenda for the entire party.
	And on top of that, Canada has all this other ridiculous fake stuff.
	Everything about Quebec.
	So, to have any high-level job in Canadian politics, in their government, if you want to be on the Canadian Supreme Court, if you want to hold XYZ jobs in the Canadian government, you have to be bilingual in English and in French.
	How many people in Canada are bilingual in English and French?
	The answer is, almost none of them.
	Because if you don't live in this tiny corridor between Toronto and Montreal, like the Ottawa-Montreal corridor...
	None of you are going to be becoming bilingual.
	There is no reason to know French if you live in British Columbia.
	There is no reason to know French if you live in Nova Scotia.
	There is no reason to know French if you live in Winnipeg.
	So unless you go out of your way to learn French, a language that no one has any reason to learn except to go into politics, you basically can't go into politics in Canada.
	Canada is a fake, fake, fake, fake, fake democracy.
	And they need to be called out for this.
	Now imagine you're an immigrant to Canada, which like 35% of the population is going to be soon.
	Then, if you want to make it in Canadian politics, you have to know your native language, and you have to learn English, and you have to learn French.
	And on top of that, they have all this bizarre affirmative action so that Quebec won't secede.
	Quebec is only, I think, 20% of the population of Canada, maybe 25%.
	But they get a third of the Supreme Court.
	They get all of these slots have to be assigned to them out of proportion to their population.
	Canada is like a travesty.
	And more people need to be aware of this.
	And the only excuse to not be aware of it is that it's okay to not know things about Canada.
	You're absolutely right, Blake.
	That was a good rant, by the way.
	Good for you.
	Yeah, do you feel better now?
	Because I feel better.
	No, I don't feel better because I had to just think about Canada for the last three and a half minutes.
	It's not okay.
	Yeah, what did Canada do to you, Blake?
	They were too close to my state growing up, and I learned too much.
	Well, I can't disagree with anything you said.
	I think it's all super fake.
	Trudeau has an approval rating.
	Like, basically less than, you know, I don't know, you know, spam.
	Actually, I like spam way more than Trudeau.
	Spam is great.
	Yeah, don't make that insulting comparison.
	Spam is good.
	It's probably not going to make it through Maha.
	But, like, listen, here's the thing.
	Trudeau needs to go.
	He kind of knows this, but he found a little wiggle room until the party selects a new leader.
	But then they're still not going to have elections for, like, another year.
	I don't understand why they don't just call a snap election.
	They should, but the Liberals know they'll lose power.
	I miss 80s Canada.
	Remember 80s Canada?
	It was so good.
	Remember Strange Brew with, like, Bob and Doug, McKenzie, and, you know, the Canadian tuxedo, and everybody dresses in denim, and, like, drinking hockey.
	Drinking hockey.
	Drinking beer, playing hockey.
	Canadian bacon.
	Where's the Canadian bacon Canada?
	That was the Canada that I thought, the movie, by the way, which I believe was written by Michael Moore, funny enough.
	We're not going to respect Canadian bacon because Michael Moore killed John Candy, and I'm not going to forgive him for that one.
	He did do that.
	He did, unfortunately, do that.
	In the movie or in real life?
	Yes.
	It was his last movie, and it stressed him out, and then he died, and it was atrocious.
	I still have this, like, vague childhood memory of seeing John Candy's death in the paper.
	I can't tell you what year it is, but...
	Oh, wait.
	Hold on.
	Let me think.
	It was probably, what, like, 90...
	92 or 93. I think so.
	Maybe 94. Let's see.
	John Candy.
	Yeah, early 94. March 4th, 94. So we're approaching the 31st anniversary of it.
	That's crazy, right?
	And then Chris Farley?
	Yeah, with like right around the same time.
	I always think about those two in tandem.
	Like two overweight, really beloved comedians.
	Probably both had drug problems, although I don't know in John Candy's case.
	But, you know, at least they were overweight.
	His wife murdered him.
	It's a wild story.
	It's a wild story.
	They had a very troubled relationship.
	Yeah, I'd heard that as well.
	But he was trying to work with her and stuff.
	But you have this really weird...
	People look back on the 90s with nostalgia, but there were some really tragic stories that came out of the 90s.
	O.J. Simpson?
	That's why O.J. Simpson came up at that time.
	But, you know, it totally didn't do it, though.
	Of course.
	Of course O.J. didn't do it.
	We all know that.
	Isn't it weird that O.J. is dead?
	Isn't it weird that O.J. is dead?
	Like, I realized this the other day.
	I was like, oh, yeah, I remember.
	He died.
	But, like, it didn't seem to, like, crystallize.
	But he's dead.
	We're talking about dead stars somehow.
	Somehow Canada led to dead starts, but nevertheless.
	I just kept thinking about, the Saturday Night Live 50th was recently, and Saturday Night Live used to be such a political force, and not even political, but cultural force.
	Saturday Night Live was a massive cultural force in America for decades, probably up until about the 2000s, and certainly just died off in the Obama era.
	But because they were told, you're not allowed to make fun of Obama.
	And from that point on, it just became utterly ridiculous and a shell of itself.
	But they used to have so much great content and so many good actors and just incredible talent.
	People who came from that era were incredible.
	And instead, you would see these replays of it, I guess.
	I've seen a few clips of SNL. 50th anniversary, but it just reminds me of like, oh yeah, that's a show that used to be good, but now it's not.
	Well, fair enough.
	Breaking news.
	We have Charlie here.
	We have Charlie.
	Breaking news.
	I've been here for a while.
	I have been listening intently.
	How are you guys doing?
	We're doing great.
	We're going DEFCON 3 on the nation of Canada right now.
	Did you miss his rant, Charlie?
	It was pretty good, I have to say.
	I did miss that.
	He eviscerated them.
	Canada's fake, Charlie.
	I'll have to go back and listen to it.
	It was pretty good.
	Give me the highlights.
	I want to hear the summary.
	I mean, the highlights, I'll have to go study it more, because I bet I could make it twice as long if I refreshed myself instead of going off the cuff.
	But Canada is, like, super fake as, you know, as a democracy, which they would, of course, hold themselves up as, because they're better than America in every way.
	So in Canada, first of all, to have any high office in Canada, you need to be bilingual in English and French, which nobody is.
	I think under 5% of the population is actually fluent in English and French, and you totally need to go out of your way to learn it, which almost no one does.
	So if you don't fit into this literal elite globalist class that grows up right around Ottawa and is raised bilingual from birth, you basically just can't be a top Canadian bureaucrat.
	Second...
	In Canada, their political parties are so powerful that basically, if you run the party, you're just the absolute dictator of the party.
	You can bar anyone from running under the party's name, and you're just the total boss until they finally overthrow you.
	So it's not like in America.
	You could never have Donald Trump happen in Canada because the Republican Party could have just had whoever the boss was, Mitch McConnell or something, say, oh, no, Donald Trump is not.
	He's not a Republican candidate.
	Not allowed.
	But in Canada, That's how it works.
	And their party leaders are picked by a few thousand people.
	Almost no one's a member of a party.
	They vote on their leader.
	And that's how they pick it.
	It's a big old fake.
	And that's why Canada needs to be rendered free by America.
	Although, sadly, they are remaining.
	They're still up 1-0 in this hockey game.
	It's a big tragedy.
	No, it's 1-1.
	No, no.
	Do we score?
	Yes!
	1-1.
	USA is on the board, baby.
	Brady Kachuk, literally, like, I think as you said that, it just happened.
	Literally, it did.
	Literally just did.
	That's amazing.
	Speak of the devil.
	Brady, how do you say that?
	Takachuk?
	Kachuk?
	Kachuk, look at that.
	Well, I'll tolerate that name because he just did a great deed for America.
	Keith Kachuk brothers and their dad was Keith Kachuk.
	Right.
	And they were the ones that got into the fights, right, Jack?
	Oh, yeah.
	They're the Bash brothers.
	I love it.
	Hey, so I do want to do something really quick here.
	There's a story that we had on the list here, and we're going to keep on this game.
	We do have Daisy in the chair, yes, Blake?
	No, she actually just stepped out when Charlie came.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Sorry, you guys missed your chance.
	Oh, now she's back.
	Daisy's back.
	Are we allowed to have her?
	I think it's okay.
	Charlie, we have a man bun story that we really need to get to.
	Blake can set it up.
	I figured we needed a female voice.
	You're the one who cares about this story.
	You have to set this one up, Andrew.
	I have to recover from my Canada race.
	It's the death of man bun feminism.
	And there was a big piece in the Free Press, which is of course run by Barry Weiss, about this guy that set himself up as the...
	Embodiment of man bun feminism.
	He was a male feminist and he had a big man bun.
	And now he is getting accused of sexual assault by a bunch of women.
	And the irony of that is pretty profound, I would think.
	There he is.
	And, you know, Blake, you usually set the scene here, so you're going to have to give me one second.
	But the irony is just too rich.
	Not to talk about it.
	So, here we go.
	Well, that's why we have our backup here with Daisy, because she's like our robot who actually understands this.
	What's this about again?
	Why do we hate this guy again?
	Or do we like this guy?
	I don't know, because this guy's lawyer is Brian Friedman, who he just went on Megyn Kelly.
	He has been talking to Candace Owens.
	He represented Sage Steele in her case, and he represented Chris Harrison in both of their cases against Disney and ESPN and all that.
	So a lot of conservatives are, like, siding with him, saying it's another Me Too situation.
	If you read both lawsuits, they both come across as really crazy.
	And then there's this whole...
	Which, Blake, you're the one that actually showed me this in Deadpool with...
	Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively's husband, Blake Lively, and Justin Baldoni's lawsuits against, they recreated Justin Baldoni, and it's a guy that has a feminism podcast and has a man bun to say that he's talking about women's issues.
	It is definitely a look, now that I think about it, where you can visualize the male feminist, and I think there's two types.
	You'd have the dweeby, pasty male feminist, who would be kind of a...
	I feel like it'd be kind of a younger Bill Gates looking guy, and he would have a t-shirt that would say, like, this is what a feminist looks like, and he would, like, talk a lot about being, and he's like, I am a strong male, you know, female ally, and they'll be creepy.
	And then we have the man bun feminist thing, and this would be, like, a little dreamier, a little more, I don't know, I'm not gay, so I can't, but they're kind of considered hotter, right?
	Not to me.
	Not to you?
	Well, why do we even have you here, then?
	We need your...
	So Charlie, I gotta get Charlie's basic guttural take on the man bun.
	What do you do on campus when you see someone with a man bun come up to the mic and ask you a question?
	What's going through your head?
	I mean, I... I won't tell what's going through my head, but...
	I... Yeah, I... There's not much I can say here.
	So...
	Basically, the way I look at it is their brain is so...
	Like, the manvine is actually their brain that's so minuscule that it's, like, trying to exit the back of their head.
	So there's no actual brain inside.
	When I see one of these things, I mean, like, you just...
	You look at this creature, this individual, I don't even know...
	Describe the, you know, clearly andronis, andronis, um, physiognomy.
	Androgynous.
	Yes.
	Androgynous.
	I'm still, like, all jet lag.
	Uh, physiognomy and, and the, you know, like, the pouty lips and, like, pulling the chest hair out.
	Like, it's, it's, you know, like, you're going to, you're going around as a dude with, like, cleavage.
	And by the way.
	Whoa, whoa, hold on.
	One of our commenters is giving an update.
	Apparently the man bun is fake news.
	John Cantrell says he just grew it for charity and it has been.
	Sliced off of his head and is no longer present.
	But in the fake Justin Baldoni that they made in Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds did do the man bun to look like the feminist.
	And Ryan Reynolds is Canadian.
	Yeah, Ryan Reynolds is Canadian.
	So it all goes back to that.
	Is Blake Lively Canadian?
	Blake Lively is not Canadian.
	They're stealing our women.
	And if she's the bad guy, they're corrupting our women.
	We don't know who the bad guy is.
	Daisy, you know more about this story than any of us.
	But here are the allegations against Baldoni by Blake Lively.
	Lively said Baldoni improvised unwanted kissing on set and he discussed his sex life.
	Ooh.
	She said he watched her, topless, having her body makeup removed.
	She said he entered her trailer uninvited while she breastfed.
	Her husband apparently said he fat shamed her by asking an on-set fitness trainer how much she weighed.
	Finally, when she complained, Baldoni set a team of reputation destroyers on her who set out to bury her, quote-unquote, with various negative stories.
	But there's counters to all of this.
	Like, there's a screen grab of her inviting him into the trailer.
	When she said, like, on text saying, hey, I'm just breastfeeding.
	Come in and practice lines with me or something like that.
	So, I don't know.
	The man bun.
	It's just fun to make fun of the man bun.
	Right, Daisy?
	Yeah, man buns are gay.
	I can say that as a woman and as someone who's very grateful my husband doesn't have a man bun.
	But Justin Baldoni's team released an entire website that he put up basically all of his communication with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
	But the trial is not until next March.
	But I think it was yesterday or on Monday, Blake Lively actually added her kids to her complaint and said that her kids are experiencing emotional harm because of Justin Baldoni as well.
	I don't know if any of those people are.
	I I Charlie, I did find a video of a man bun on campus.
	If we want to go to that, I know you'll remember this very well.
	They're stalking him.
	They're hunting him.
	Charlie's being hunted.
	I think it's 250. Okay, hold on.
	Hold on.
	Before we do that, here's a quote from Baldoni.
	Writing from experience, Justin invites us to move beyond the scripts we've learned since childhood and the books we are expected to play.
	He challenges men to be brave enough to be vulnerable, to be strong enough to be sensitive, to be confident enough to listen.
	Okay.
	Just wanted you guys to all feel that.
	And his pod, he had a podcast with a woman, and his podcast was called Man Enough, and it was all about, like, toxic masculinity and how men really talk about their feelings and are shoving things down.
	And then after everything, everything allegedly or true, I don't know, came out from Blake Lively's camp, his female host left the show.
	So she, like, wanted nothing to do with Justin Baldoni.
	So I don't know who's right in this situation.
	So cut 250, yeah, Daisy?
	Yes, 250. F*** you, I hate you.
	Yeah.
	Would you like to have a substantive conversation?
	A substitute?
	Yeah.
	A substitute?
	No, man, I just think you're a f***ing asshole.
	Would you like to have a conversation?
	Sure, absolutely.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay.
	I don't like you.
	I think you spread hate.
	I think you spread bigotry.
	I think you piss a lot of people off because I just, I mean, you're just an awful person.
	I don't think you really want to debate because you're just here to piss people off and energize your crowd of racists.
	What have I ever said that's racist?
	Can you name one thing?
	I'm Hispanic, can I support Charlie?
	Does that mean anything?
	Can you say the second thing I've ever said that's racist?
	I think you're just trying to play a game, and I think this is obviously going to be used in your favor.
	What have I ever said that's hateful?
	I just want to f***ing hate you, you're awful, get off my campus.
	When have I ever said anything that's hateful?
	Have a nice day.
	He can't say anything I've ever said that's racist, because I've never said anything that's racist.
	That is the American left in one picture, everybody.
	Lots of rage and no wisdom.
	It's also the American man bun in one picture.
	American man bun love association?
	Charlie, I bet he would describe himself as a male feminist.
	It's just a wild guess, but I bet he would.
	I would imagine that.
	I think that man buns are very gay.
	I agree.
	Mission accomplished.
	But let's not get so we have we have to get this we were laying on it, but now that Charlie is here so This is to remind people who have forgotten four years ago Now five years ago, I guess Donald Trump like at the height of like the summer of Floyd when they were tearing down all the statues Trump came up with the idea we should instead of tearing down statues if people want To honor other Americans, let's build more statues.
	So you came up with this idea, National Garden of American Heroes.
	We're going to build a big set of statues of great Americans and have them all in a garden and anyone can visit it and you can put it in Washington or somewhere else.
	I'm not sure if they picked the place.
	Anyway, Biden got rid of it, as he got rid of many things, like our border, and Trump brought it back when he came back.
	And just today, he was talking about who he's going to put in the Garden of American Heroes.
	And it's Black History Month, so he mentioned a lot of great black Americans.
	Frederick Douglass, Rosa Parks, people in that vein.
	And he also mentioned, though, this is a new name that he just added, Kobe Bryant.
	Actually, do we have the clip of him reciting all of the names?
	Do we have that ready to go?
	Oh, we don't?
	Oh, we didn't get it?
	Well, anyway, he said Kobe Bryant was going to be one of them.
	And so that...
	Oh, 222. 222. Let's go.
	We're going to produce some of the most beautiful works of art in the form of a statue for men like Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Jackie Robinson.
	What a great athlete that was.
	Martin Luther King Jr. Muhammad Ali.
	He's not a bad athlete.
	What do you think, Muhammad?
	Not too bad.
	And the late Kobe Bryant.
	People love Kobe Bryant.
	And we're going to save Tiger Woods for another time.
	That's all, exactly.
	I'm sorry.
	During Black History Month, we pay tribute to these heroes and to so many others, but not simply because they're black heroes, but also because they are truly American heroes who inspire all of us, very much so.
	So that's, I think that's actually a very fun idea.
	And so we were talking, like, what, who, if we actually get this statue garden built, Who do we want in it?
	This entire segment is brought to you by Grok.
	If you guys have any names you want to suggest, we can have them over in the studio quickly whip up some concept art for what their statue might look like in the hypothetical garden.
	We already did whip a bunch of pairs, so they might start showing them.
	We have some more serious ones.
	They have...
	What do we got?
	What are some of those pairs we came up with?
	LeBron.
	Like LeBron James.
	We have Frederick Douglass and Jack Brown.
	So those are two of the ones we actually have.
	So you can imagine what it might be like.
	That's Johnny Cash and Martin Luther King Jr. We have...
	That's Kobe.
	It's Kobe Bryant and Rosa Parks.
	Is that Rosa Parks?
	So is he guarding Rosa Parks from getting to the front of the bus or something?
	Maybe, maybe.
	We have a lot.
	Let's put up Mark Twain and Snoop Dogg.
	That's what the image looks like.
	Snoop Dogg is not an official one.
	This is some speculation on our part.
	The AI went a little demented with some of our concepts.
	How about, let's put up 232. Put up 232. This is a great American hero.
	It's Zelensky and the gigantic pile of taxpayer money that he was able to extract from us.
	Did Grok insert the money behind?
	No, no.
	We asked him to include that.
	How about...
	I love this.
	By the way, how many Y's are going to be on Zelensky's title?
	I think at least seven or eight.
	You've got to add several in his honor.
	Actually, in our image, we have, I think, 11. How about, let's put up Harambe and Peanut.
	I think we can agree both of these guys are needed.
	Yes.
	Harambe and Peanut the Squirrel.
	And by the way, anyone watching, if you guys have ideas, go ahead and we can try to make them.
	I see someone saying Johnny Appleseed should get one.
	Ben Carson.
	Ben Carson would be a good one.
	And also, thank you for the subscription, Jen Cantrell1776.
	Thank you for all of your donated messages tonight.
	Bo Jackson.
	Ooh, Bo Jackson would be a good athlete one.
	Oh, there's Taylor Swift and Stephen Hawking.
	I don't know what they have in common with each other, but it's very inspiring.
	I think many Americans would see that and know that they can achieve anything, even if...
	They're disabled.
	Is Stephen Hawking English?
	I'm not sure if he's...
	Was he an American citizen?
	Oh, this is a great one.
	This is showing one of our...
	We have Christopher Columbus there on the right, and then our most famous person of American Indian heritage, Elizabeth Warren.
	They were saying we didn't have American Indians in the first...
	This was something that came up in the 45 administration.
	So there you go.
	That is obviously, you know, just a shout out to a great American Indian, Elizabeth Warren.
	Do you have anyone you want, Charlie?
	We can quickly whip them up there.
	There's Mike Tyson and Hulk Hogan.
	Hulk Hogan.
	That's good.
	I love that.
	Let me think.
	How about Douglas MacArthur and Michael Jordan?
	I want to see those two.
	Let's see how quickly we can put those together.
	All right.
	They're working on it.
	We did Steve Jobs and Betsy Ross.
	Put that one up.
	That's not Steve Jobs and Betsy Ross.
	That's not Steve Jobs.
	238. 238. Oh boy.
	Is Betsy Ross like a girl boss in a sweater?
	This is like a real thing.
	Does she work for Apple?
	We're really making it.
	These are not real statues.
	We had Grok.
	We're pulling names into Grok.
	This is actually going to happen.
	Trump's serious about this.
	He has ordered it to happen.
	I think it's probably as likely to happen as anything.
	It's just statues.
	I'm sure he has some authority to push that forward.
	I mean, how expensive would it be to put...
	Okay, I don't want to say that.
	It's knowing our federal government, it'll cost a billion dollars a statue.
	But in theory, it should not be that expensive to put up some bronzes of great Americans.
	And, you know, charge admission if you need to.
	Okay, I have a question.
	I have a question in the midst of all this.
	So Trump is asserting Americana, loving your country, being proud of who we are again.
	I'm so for all of it.
	How, like...
	How sure are we that this is going to penetrate, that this is going to actually have the impact that we want?
	I mean, I think it's better that our leaders are doing it than not, but is it going to catch?
	Is it going to seep down deep into the soul of the country?
	Well, I think a very real thing is, why was Ronald Reagan popular?
	And Ronald Reagan, for whatever, in the years since people have portrayed him as this ultra...
	You know right-wing warrior, but we're really made him popular a guy who won 49 states is he was a very Genial he was very positive guy.
	He was all oh hold on.
	This is what we made could this be the statue we have one day Charlie we have Charlie with the room table That's very funny.
	Took us a few attempts.
	It's a little spotty on Charlie's face, but that was, I think, our best one.
	We got a very...
	A little spotty.
	That's more refined.
	Is that what I will be known for?
	No!
	It's Frodo and Sam!
	Where's Tyler when we need them?
	No.
	The embrace of the hobbits.
	The embrace of the hobbits.
	You know, I kind of want to give a preview of last week's conversation.
	We cut us short for it.
	I don't think it's ready yet, but maybe we just throw it up.
	This has sparked quite the controversy of this discussion about, you know, is Lord of the Rings, is it gay or not?
	And I have it right here.
	It's not ready for publishing yet.
	The fourth week in a row.
	Yeah, but it continues on.
	It continues on.
	So when it's ready, we're going to throw this clip up.
	Charlie, let me know you think of this edit, by the way.
	Yeah, throw it up.
	251. It's not ready for the internet yet, but we're going to put it on the internet anyways.
	The Epstein Wizard of Middle Earth.
	Yes, he is!
	You know, this does circle back, though, to our most important topic, which is whether Lord of the Rings is gay or not.
	I watched Lord of the Rings this weekend, and Tyler ruined it for me.
	I always used to look at it as, you know, brotherly love, and then Frodo and Sam, there's some very long gazes.
	Sam.
	I'm glad you're with me.
	You guys are giving in to the propaganda.
	No, no, no.
	The propaganda wants you to think every time.
	When you accept this framing, you are giving in to the gay industrial complex.
	I will say, I never thought it at all my entire life.
	And then Tyler mentions it and it half ruins it.
	Alright, we have LeBron and MacArthur ready to go.
	Put it up.
	We got it?
	We got it?
	Not LeBron, I said Jordan.
	Jordan McArthur, Jordan McArthur, Jordan McArthur.
	It's easy to get them confused.
	They're all basketball players.
	Uh-oh, watch yourself.
	There we go.
	There it is.
	That's amazing.
	That's good.
	That's two great Americans.
	Two great Americans.
	That's great.
	And you got Chicago in the distance.
	Yeah, who wouldn't want to go?
	Will it work, Andrew?
	I'd say, yeah, if they're serious about it, you could...
	This would not take long to make.
	You commission bronzes.
	Find 50 American artists to design these.
	Get them cast.
	Have it ready to go by the 2024 Olympics or by the time of the 250th anniversary.
	Have it ready to go.
	And, like, Americans like statues.
	Americans like art.
	Americans like history.
	The National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. is super popular every year.
	Millions of people would go to this.
	And, like, that's how you build good vibes.
	You don't have to rip down statues of people.
	You go around and say, America is a great country with tons of great people.
	And people will get into it.
	They'll memorize all the statues.
	Yeah, the whole point is to screw you to the statue terror down people.
	Okay, I get it.
	Yes, exactly.
	Especially the people who rejected Karambe.
	I wasn't making that obvious connection.
	Yeah, especially the people who reject...
	And, you know, maybe we could even...
	When you have lots of statues, you can get away with, you know, some maybe statues that would be more controversial, like 236. We have...
	With 236, we have Richard Nixon along with O.J. Simpson, who...
	Yes.
	O.J., yeah.
	O.J. Simpson.
	I will note, he was never convicted in a court of law.
	For killing anyone.
	And I will also note that he...
	But he was convicted for something else, wasn't he?
	Yeah, he was convicted of other things.
	In a civil trial.
	No, and he was convicted of that robbery thing.
	And I will also note, even if he did kill those people, OJ Simpson rushed for over 2,000 yards in only 14 games.
	Which completely makes everything okay.
	He averaged 143 yards a game.
	Andrew.
	Blake, what was that one Ravens linebacker?
	What was that, Ray Lewis?
	Was it Ray Lewis that, like, murdered a guy?
	He possibly was involved or present at the slaying.
	But he was a great athlete and a good commentator, so everything was fine.
	Yeah, so Americans make that compromise all the time.
	Alright, Charlie.
	Charlie, the question is to you, Charlie.
	Can you revive the nation's patriotic spirit?
	Can you do it?
	Can you do it from on high?
	Yeah, of course.
	I mean, a little bit.
	It's mostly got to be bottom-up.
	But yeah, I think that the president can be a cheerleader, for sure.
	I think that it's got to be the citizen leaning in and engaging on what matters most and most fundamentally.
	And look, I think that it's not inconsequential, the hockey game and the sports events that we're seeing there.
	But yeah, I think you can revive national patriotism.
	I don't think it can be forced, but I think it can be presented.
	I think people can lead a strong example.
	I really do.
	So follow a strong example, I should say.
	I want to believe you.
	I hope that's right.
	Speaking of revival, before we go, Charlie, so you just did your first campus event, I think since the election, right?
	Unless we did one right after.
	But we were all sort of waiting with bated breath.
	What's the...
	What are the college kids thinking?
	Both the friendly ones, are they still enthusiastic?
	And if there's hostile ones, what are they fixating on?
	What's their angle of attack that they're all getting downloaded from the internet?
	So we were really all interested in hearing what you had to say on that.
	It was record turnout.
	It was amazing.
	We had well over 2,000 kids at the University of South Florida today throughout the day, come and go.
	It was amazing.
	And this is not an election year, as you guys know.
	That's me throwing out white 47 hats.
	Just incredible energy.
	They sat there for two and a half hours and...
	It was amazing how just vocal and courageous the crowd is.
	There's like no opposition whatsoever.
	We might have had five or six questions of people that were in some form of opposition.
	I'm just looking at the footage here from University of South Florida.
	And I mean, there's a legitimate permanent Gen Z shift happening.
	Everything you see in the polling, we saw reflected on the ground.
	The base is as strong as ever.
	It's broadening, it's widening, it's strengthening, it's deepening.
	And there's just no rebellion energy at all on the left.
	It just doesn't exist.
	And so really fun.
	The footage will be posted soon.
	I'm sure the team is going to have a field day kind of cutting that all together.
	And yeah, it's good stuff.
	There it is.
	I'm looking at what our audience have been suggesting.
	Let's see.
	Ronald Reagan and Francis Scott Key.
	Those would both be good ones.
	I don't know if they'd go together.
	We could do a Tesla and Thomas Edison one.
	People would get a kick out of that.
	Someone suggested Bert and Ernie, probably inspired by the Lord of the Rings discussion earlier.
	Because, just like Lord of the Rings, Bert and Ernie are not gay.
	They are just friends with each other, and it is the gay industrial complex teaching you otherwise.
	Just saying.
	Oh, this is a good one!
	Rush Limbaugh.
	Rush Limbaugh, that would be a good statue.
	Oh, there you go.
	John Wayne, that's a good one.
	I think everyone on the list overall is deceased, but there's people who we would definitely want once they depart this world, hopefully in a while.
	Tiger Woods.
	Yeah, Tiger Woods would be good.
	Clarence Thomas, I think, would be a deserving one.
	There's Bill Clinton.
	Is that supposed to be Hillary?
	That's Monica!
	The other woman.
	There's two people who provided great amounts.
	There's two people who provided huge amounts of entertainment to Americans in the late 1990s.
	I think I'll always fondly remember my parents trying to explain to me why the president was in trouble.
	In trouble on the television, and I probably would have been totally oblivious to it if they hadn't told me.
	I was more interested in Power Rangers at the time.
	Because Power Rangers was great.
	Were you ever into that, Charlie?
	Were you a Power Rangers kid?
	Not really.
	No, I'm trying to think what I was into when I was at those ages.
	I was into the earliest...
	Charlie's like, I was into Edmund Burke.
	Even Stevens, I liked...
	Oh, no, no, no, no.
	I mean...
	I was into Arthur.
	I know it sounds lame, but that was like what I was allowed to watch was on PBS. Arthur's still on the air.
	Did you know that?
	Arthur's still going.
	They're still making the episodes.
	And then...
	Steven Crowder did a voice on Arthur.
	Did you know that?
	No way!
	I didn't know that.
	Was he brain?
	Secret knowledge.
	Steven Crowder, Canadian.
	Arthur?
	Arthur was pretty good stuff, though.
	Right?
	Right, Brian?
	And then Full House.
	I was big into Full House.
	Big Full House guy.
	You were watching it on Nick at Night.
	You're like my sisters.
	I'm sorry, Charlie.
	I was like TGIF. Oh, no, no, no, no.
	I watched on Nick at Night.
	That's exactly right.
	I was a Nick at Night guy.
	Full House.
	Yeah, Nick and Night, they had an hour of Full House every night.
	This would have been like 2002, 2003. I remember because my sisters watched it every single night, and our family computer was there, so I would get it by osmosis.
	And I would try to see how often I laughed at it.
	And I think they probably watched it about every night for about two years, and I think I laughed at the show twice.
	But it's kind of like Friends.
	I think Full House, it's technically a sitcom, but it's not intended to be funny.
	It's intended to just...
	It's lighthearted.
	And it all takes place in San Francisco.
	Alright, we gotta dash.
	Jack's gotta go.
	We gotta run.
	Guys, thank you so much.
	Till next week, keep committing thought crimes.
	God bless, and send us your statue submissions.
