THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 143 — The Devil Wears Narnia? Bo French's Tweet?

00:00:03 Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. 00:00:24 Speaker 2: College is a scam, everybody. 00:00:26 Speaker 3: You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as. 00:00:28 Speaker 1: Young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. 00:00:45 Speaker 3: Here I am. Lord, use me. 00:00:48 Speaker 2: Buckle up, everybody. 00:00:49 Speaker 4: Here we go. 00:00:56 Speaker 1: Noble Gold Investments is the official gold sponsor of The Charlie Kirk Show. a company that specializes in gold IRAs and physical delivery of precious metals.

I want to say thank you to the entire team, as well as all of the folks who listened to last week's episode, the best of Charlie, the greatest thought crimes of Charlie Kirk. And it was obviously a labor of love for the team who put it together. And, you know, what can I say? In a dark week like last week was, remembering a day like that, it actually provided some moments of levity and was able to make it a little bit more fun to remember just some of the good times that we got to have with our great friend. Who do we have tonight? 00:02:01 Speaker 4: Amen. 00:02:02 Speaker 2: We got Andrew, Blake, and Tyler all in studio. 00:02:06 Speaker 5: All present. 00:02:06 Speaker 2: Which is fantastic. 00:02:07 Speaker 5: All accounted for. 00:02:08 Speaker 2: But by the way, if folks did not see last week's mashup. 00:02:12 Speaker 5: Turn on and watch. They did an amazing job. 00:02:15 Speaker 2: They dug up stuff I'd forgotten about. I'd forgotten about it, too. And we all, so when we played it live. 00:02:20 Speaker 4: It was so good. 00:02:21 Speaker 3: It was so good. 00:02:22 Speaker 2: Everybody gathered around, because we have TVs in the bullpen. Everybody gathered around. We just watched Charlie on Thought Crime, some of his best moments. Yeah. It's definitely worth a trip down memory lane. Such funny stuff. And by the way, you should watch it if you can. Listening is great, too, on the podcast. We know that the podcast audience for that show, in particular this show, is, like, massive. But the video is so good because you get to see Charlie actually scraping his face with, like, a banana peel, dipping it in ice water. 00:02:53 Speaker 3: The ice water, yeah. 00:02:53 Speaker 2: You just, like, seeing Charlie smile, like, you know. 00:02:56 Speaker 3: You know which one got me, though? It was, like, just of his facial expressions. It was, it would be like where he would know that we were talking about something where he's like, I'm about to say something that's, and he would get that little like crazy smile on his face. You know what I mean? The crazy smile where he knew that like, okay, this is going to get me in trouble. And then I probably shouldn't say anything. And then he would say it anyway. 00:03:20 Speaker 2: Uh, he would, he would. 00:03:21 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:03:22 Speaker 2: He got every, I always get in trouble when I talk about Taylor Swift. Here he goes. 00:03:26 Speaker 3: Actually, Tyler gets in trouble talking about Taylor Swift. 00:03:29 Speaker 2: Tyler and Charlie get in trouble talking about Taylor Swift. By the way, Travis Kelsey got embroiled in a Ponzi scheme with something illegal. 00:03:37 Speaker 3: He got in big trouble. With an illegal. 00:03:38 Speaker 4: How do you fall for a. 00:03:39 Speaker 3: Ponzi scheme from an illegal? $ 35 million Ponzi scheme. 00:03:43 Speaker 4: You have to be next level stupid to fall for a Ponzi scheme. But there's really good examples. To fall for a Ponzi scheme... That's perpetrated by an illegal alien is like. 00:03:56 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, if Bernie Madoff, like at his peak, like before everybody knew that he was a crook and all that stuff, he came up and he's like, listen, these are our guaranteed returns over the last 15 years. Do you want to get involved? I mean, I would have been like, well, you're Bernie Madoff. Like, okay, that's one thing. But to have an illegal alien Indian dude out of Texas be like, you know... Wait, wait, wait. 00:04:20 Speaker 3: Admittedly, I feel like. 00:04:22 Speaker 3: Did you hear the new thing that just came out about this guy, though? 00:04:26 Speaker 2: No. 00:04:27 Speaker 3: So this is what ties it all together. What school did that guy go to? The University of Texas. Oh, man. 00:04:34 Speaker 2: That's school. The rot is deep. The rot is deep. No, but you know what's interesting is, like, the way that that whole story, the UT Austin story and Beau French's tweet has just, like, divided the internet, the punditry class. There's, like, half of them... Here's what I'd say. It's actually like four different reactions. There's like the Karl Rove reaction, which is like, I'm going to vote for a Democrat. 00:04:58 Speaker 3: Yeah. Which is like, he was going to do that anyway. 00:05:01 Speaker 2: Yeah. Let's be honest, Karl Rove. You're basically, you're basically, you know, uh, crystal light, you know, at this. 00:05:08 Speaker 6: Point, they're going to get, they're going to get such a psychosexual rush from voting. 00:05:14 Speaker 2: Oh, I know. You know, Karl Rove's like so stoked about the next rubber chicken dinner. He gets to go to and be like, well, you know, We've got to draw the line with these people. Somebody had to do it. 00:05:24 Speaker 5: Oh, I'm drawing the line. 00:05:25 Speaker 2: It had to be me. It had to be me. I'll take the hate. 00:05:27 Speaker 3: It is kind of... Wait, no, but Blake's right, though. 00:05:29 Speaker 5: It is kind of. 00:05:30 Speaker 3: There is, like, a weird, like... I'm going to say it. It's like a fetish, almost. It's like a fetish. 00:05:37 Speaker 5: I've called it the will to cuck before. 00:05:40 Speaker 3: It really... Yes. 00:05:41 Speaker 5: It does exist for a lot of people. 00:05:44 Speaker 6: It is something that is psychologically difficult to overcome, and... so they just, they like hunting for reasons to give in. They like hunting for reasons to surrender. There's never any followup. There's never any explanation in detail of why this is a good idea. It's just, it's very pathetic once you're aware of it and you start to see it all of the time. Cause it's the same people who do it over. 00:06:11 Speaker 4: Well, there's deeper ties that Karl Rove has to UT. So, Karl Rove gets a paycheck of some kind from UT Austin. The LBJ School of Public Affairs, which. 00:06:24 Speaker 2: Not to be confused with the LGBTQ school. 00:06:28 Speaker 4: So LBJ School of Public Affairs, which, again, is the LBJ School of Public Affairs. So it's clearly. 00:06:34 Speaker 2: Literally the most corrupt Texas senator in history of senators from Texas, I would presume. 00:06:41 Speaker 4: And a beloved figure by Democrats. 00:06:43 Speaker 2: What was that ballot box 11 thing? What was it? Battle Box 9? 00:06:47 Speaker 5: Whatever. 00:06:48 Speaker 2: The one he stuffed to win the Senate election. 00:06:50 Speaker 4: LBJ is a beloved figure in the Democrat Party. The School of Public Affairs is named after at UT Austin, the LBJ School of Public Affairs. So it's basically like their pseudo-political public affairs arm that's at UT Austin, which is huge. And they have a paid gig for Karl Rove where he goes and gives speeches there. So I'm sure the first thing that happened was the phone got picked up from these like super leftist, you know, wonky guys that are over at UT Austin. They said, Karl Rove, you have to do something. You have to say something. This is how these things happen. And he immediately, that was the agreement. 00:07:31 Speaker 2: I'm going to get my whiteboard out. I'm going to. I'm going to break down the math how I'm going to make Beau French lose. 00:07:37 Speaker 4: I'm not even sure he's that passionate about it. I think he literally... Somebody got a paycheck. Yeah, it's like he gets a paycheck from UT Austin. And this is why the higher education... Just like you have the military-industrial complex, you have the higher education-industrial complex in America. And they puppet these people around. And this is why things keep getting worse. 00:08:01 Speaker 2: Well, that's one of the four reactions. The other one is just be like, I'm going to condemn this without actually saying you should vote for a Democrat. Then the third option is to basically be like, you know, we support Beau, but he he, you know, could have probably said this differently. And then the fourth option is like based Beau French. Go off Patriot. Those are the four options. 00:08:25 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, it's just like and this is the conversation that we had. You know, we love Bo. Bo's great. Bo's been around and been to our things and everything else and a big supporter of things. But it's like, you know, there are changes that have to happen in Texas. Texas is getting totally flooded by migrants. It's getting totally flooded by legal and illegal immigrants. You know, the Muslim issue in Texas is huge. uh, you know, just the Eastern cultures in general, taking over Texas is huge. Uh, someone showed a map of Austin. So while we're on the top of UT, I mean, Austin was a fairly conservative city, um, outside of the university and the university has always had a, a negative, uh, play. 00:09:08 Speaker 5: I'm not sure Austin's ever been a conservative city. 00:09:10 Speaker 4: No, you look back at 2000, you look at the electoral map, um, the County voted for, I think, w bush. 00:09:20 Speaker 6: Well bush i mean bush did insanely well in texas he was the governor. 00:09:24 Speaker 4: I get it but still like like you had austin the county like now you will you you will never get there ever again it's like it's it votes like 70 democrat now the county travis county so you have a a circumstance where it's like Yeah, there's some argument to be made. And there's a lot of this impact. And a lot of people are like, well, a lot of these people that they're bringing in don't vote because they're not legal. They're not citizens. It's like you don't have any kind of idea what an international influence has on the culture of a city in a community. And we've seen that here in Arizona and places like Chandler, Arizona, where they brought in a ton of people, intellectuals. huge, has their big plant, their biggest, I think it is the biggest, essentially, their HQ that's in Chandler, Arizona. They brought in hundreds of thousands of people have come through over the last number of decades. 00:10:16 Speaker 2: Oh, it's all happened basically in the last 10 years. You could say last 20, but really, really fast. 00:10:20 Speaker 4: And they have thousands of people that work there that are not citizens. And what's happened to the city around it has changed dramatically from a political perspective. And so when people say, oh, well, you know, they're not voting. It's not just voting. It's the cultural impact. It's the cultural impact that it has on your entire city, your entire country. 00:10:44 Speaker 2: And again. 00:10:44 Speaker 4: Nothing against people from foreign countries. I think it's a wonderful thing that people have a love for foreign cultures, and they go visit those cultures, and they come back. I think it's great when foreigners come visit America, and they bring back American. 00:11:01 Speaker 2: Culture to their country. 00:11:01 Speaker 4: And then they go home. To their country. 00:11:03 Speaker 2: And then you go home. 00:11:05 Speaker 4: I think we live in such a wonderful time in history where you could work remotely from India. 00:11:12 Speaker 4: And do business with Americans. 00:11:15 Speaker 2: This is the most dumb conversation ever because everybody wants to act like it's about racism. Racism! No, it's not. Listen, 20 years ago, you go to the store and you see your neighbor, Bob, and he's like, hey, are your kids going to be at the Christmas school play and the nativity scenes and Easter and all this stuff? Now, it's like they've got some temple... To some Hindu god that's like right down the street from you. If you can't just for a minute understand how that has completely changed. And transform that community. And that people happen to notice. And maybe they liked the way it was before. And they can't control it. They didn't vote for it. 00:12:00 Speaker 5: Nothing. 00:12:01 Speaker 2: Doesn't mean they hate that Indian. They just know that they love their home. And their home has changed forever now. And their schools are changed forever now. 00:12:07 Speaker 5: What I will say is a little funny about this. 00:12:09 Speaker 3: It's all ridiculous. 00:12:10 Speaker 6: They play dumb with this argument. Well, but I think even that. There's something a little weird about this. Which is that people are fixating on this. 00:12:16 Speaker 5: When like, guys. 00:12:17 Speaker 6: The giant demographic transformation of Texas is not Indians and it's not Muslims. It's the fact that we let 30 million people from Mexico move to the United States. 00:12:25 Speaker 2: And that was a big problem before. But I will tell you, I will tell you, I think my lucky stars every day that south of the border down are filled with Catholics. Shout out to my Catholic friend Jack here. If they weren't Muslims, do you have any idea that the extreme nature of the problem is what it would be? It has already caused problems at our schools. You've got to get bilingual teachers. You've got to put curriculum in multiple languages. You've got to deal with all these impoverished kids from third world backgrounds that don't know the basic way a society functions. They're not raised the same way that your kids are raised. Massive problems at hospitals, DMVs, public places. But thank God they're Catholic, okay? Thank God they're Catholic. 00:13:06 Speaker 3: And you know, I believe, I don't know the exact numbers on it, but I believe Texas is now a majority Hispanic state. Is that correct? 00:13:13 Speaker 5: I don't think it's a majority, but it's plurality for sure. 00:13:17 Speaker 3: It's the largest group in Texas. 00:13:18 Speaker 2: I'm just so sick, though, of how stupid these guys, like the Karl Roves and the Rush to Disavow people are. That's not the conversation we're having. We're having a conversation about a culture that was one way, And nobody voted for crap, and all of a sudden it's another way. And you act like this is. 00:13:37 Speaker 5: So beyond the pale. This is un-American. 00:13:40 Speaker 2: No. You know what's un-American is using our card to completely veto everybody else and get rid of debate at all. Acting like we're bad people. for noticing it. And I'm sick of it. I'm not a bad person. I love all people. All people are children of God. All people are made in the image and likeness of God. It doesn't mean I have to share a country with them. I didn't vote for it. It doesn't mean I have to send my school to kids that don't know Christmas and Easter. 00:14:06 Speaker 4: Anyways. 00:14:08 Speaker 3: Well, and by the way, just on that, what Blake was saying, that you're right. Obviously, it is Hispanics that are largest, but the fastest growing in Texas is the South Asian population. And I've talked about this in my state of Pennsylvania as well, southeastern Pennsylvania. You'd see it. You just see it's a very rapid change. And it seems like a very large change, seemingly out of nowhere. And yes, obviously, we can see that it tracks very closely with the H-1B situation. And so in areas where you have a lot of tech or so like in southeast PA, we have a lot of pharma. And so that's sort of like the big industry there. And so they're bringing in H-1Bs, and yes, you do always see a concurrent rise, or we are tracking this now, in areas where there's a lot of H-1B industries, a lot of H-1B using industries and utilization industries. We do see a rapid rise in the South Asian population. And guess what? It's totally fine to talk about that. There's nothing wrong with talking about that. We are allowed to talk about who we want in our country. We're allowed to talk about whether our neighborhoods and our towns and our communities are changing, whether social cohesion is breaking down because of this. The fact that if you've got neighbors that you can't understand them, that you don't have any cultural cachet with them, any links with them, that no, this actually matters. It's not a thought crime to be able to say that publicly. It's really not. And you know, actually I kind of ties to what I think I was gonna talk about, but today was that how 9-11, so like 9-11 was so big with the 25th anniversary, but I would really love to live in a community where all of my neighbors have similar views or at least similar memories and emotions of 9-11 than that my family does. It's really simple because that's part of what a nation is. It's a group of families, a family of people that has a similar message, a similar memory, that has a similar background, similar characteristics, similar customs. That is what a nation is. And when you start screwing with that and when you start messing up with it, you get what? You get a Tower of Babel. 00:16:19 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. And, you know, I always like to think back. We brought this up a couple times, but Blake educated me on this, so I'm taking this from Blake. But there is the, what is it, the blue banana? 00:16:29 Speaker 5: Mm-hmm. 00:16:30 Speaker 2: This was a concept that transformed the way that I think about civilizations. Okay. 00:16:34 Speaker 3: This is London. 00:16:35 Speaker 2: Yeah. But it's like, okay, if. 00:16:36 Speaker 5: You, all of human, all of human progress, all of human civilization, like all. 00:16:41 Speaker 2: New inventions, very narrow band of people in this very specific geographic. 00:16:47 Speaker 3: London's a different banana. 00:16:48 Speaker 2: Sorry. 00:16:48 Speaker 3: Sorry. London's another banana. 00:16:50 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:16:50 Speaker 6: And no, and it, and it continues today for that matter that let's be frank in America, we get a lot out of America, but the number of places in America that generate, lots of new inventions, lots of new economic dynamism is actually not that large. And if you wreck them, which the way things get wrecked these days is with Libs, we don't have nearly as many. If you go back to the US 120 years ago, it's like every random small town was vomiting out great engineers, great inventors. They were founding companies in every city. These days, companies that really matter are founded in a smaller and smaller number of cities. And if one of those places gets wrecked by Libs, We don't tend to create that many new ones. Seattle, let's be frank, used to be a very dynamic. 00:17:35 Speaker 5: Part of the U.S. 00:17:36 Speaker 2: Economy. 00:17:36 Speaker 5: It gave us Microsoft, Boeing, grunge music. A lot of stuff. 00:17:42 Speaker 6: Starbucks came out of the Seattle area and now crashing. It is imploding. Companies are leaving. 00:17:49 Speaker 5: People are leaving. 00:17:50 Speaker 6: I don't think we're going to get anything great out of Seattle in the near future. Austin had become one of those places where a lot of good was coming out, but If we just inundate Texas with people from foreign cultures and with clientele for the Democratic Party, they will destroy it. They will mess it up and they will make Texas as blue as California. And once that happens, guys, we like can't win elections anymore. 00:18:17 Speaker 4: I know. 00:18:18 Speaker 6: That's the real thing to just say. It's like, guys, if you make Texas a blue state, can't win. We cannot win a presidential election without Texas. 00:18:27 Speaker 2: If you think wireless companies are all the same, you might need to take a look at our friends over at Patriot Mobile.

When you create a society where Americans have to think... about things they shouldn't have to think about, cultural things, like they spend their time thinking about, I'm worried that I'm going to have to just try to adjust how I act in my own community in order to connect with my neighbors. Think about how much brain power, how much time that takes. Same goes with food. I'm going to go out and I'm going to, is it going to be more difficult for me to find a hamburger joint than it is, you know, a foreign pocketed cuisine everywhere we go. Again, I'm just saying like the time that it takes, when I go to my kid's school, am I going to have to be careful or am I going to be able to immediately connect with the teacher and the aides, the school nurse, the individuals who are around you, because again, they've assimilated and they're culturally American. The more time that you spend having to slow down and basically undo your own culture in order to adapt to other people's culture is time that you're spending, brain power that you're spending away from what should be easy, the easy things. And to your point, when the easy things aren't easy anymore in your own society, your own culture, you either do one of two things. One is you either adapt, you waste time and you, and you're not inventing, you're not creating, you're not building business. You're not creating relationships because again, also relationships are proven to be the most fortuitous in a culture that is understood where people actually get along and they like each other, but business relationships. But then Or the second is you retract and you retract to a farm or a place where you escape, where you're by yourself and you're not producing all those ideas. So you're not working with other people in your culture. You're not opening a business. 00:21:48 Speaker 5: It's a very true. 00:21:51 Speaker 2: Thing. 00:21:51 Speaker 4: Economists write about this. I think, and again, this is just observant. I'm not an economist. This is observant. Even with some of my friends, they're like, oh, yeah. you know, I just don't really fit in with that part of town anymore, so I've moved out of town. And now they're by themselves and they don't do anything. 00:22:08 Speaker 6: Economists write about this because the reason cities are good overall is they produce what's called agglomeration effects. That you are near other people. You can be much more productive. It is historically good to have cities that make things. 00:22:22 Speaker 4: It's just a productivity thing. It's a cultural productivity thing. 00:22:26 Speaker 6: And it is actually actively messing that up. Two things mess that up. One, lots of crime ruins that. 00:22:32 Speaker 4: Yes. 00:22:32 Speaker 6: And then also people feeling alienated from their cities. And so they move away for lifestyle reasons, and that screws up the agglomeration effects. You get cities that instead of being a giant hub of people, because that's where you go to make money, to produce things, to innovate, to get a job. That's why people would move there. They're now just hubs of getting government programs. They're ways to dole out patronage to people. They're places to dump your voters as a political project. Totally messes up how a Modern country is supposed to work. 00:23:04 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say who this person was. Jack, you'll love this story. I was talking to somebody in Texas about this whole Indian picture. And this was their words, not mine. Their words, not mine. But I thought it was very interesting. Indian guy. And he was saying that apparently they go to like a Pentecostal Indian church. So it's Christian Indians. And he's friends with Bo and knows Bo's not a racist and stuff like that. Anyways, but he said at church they literally pray for a different kind of Indian than the one that's coming to Texas right now. And I was like, Oh, what do you mean? People don't understand that India is so big and so diverse that the different States don't like each other and they have different cultures. He was like, Oh, but they all come from this one state and we don't like, you know, We don't like that particular culture. And this was news to me because. 00:23:57 Speaker 6: No, it's classic. This is one of the things that we actually import. 00:24:00 Speaker 3: People don't grasp that. 00:24:01 Speaker 6: This is happening, that we've got all these different states in India. We have different castes in India. A good joke is actually there's more diversity within India than there is in the entire world, which is not literally true, but it gets at how bewildering it is. So one thing you get, for example, infamously is not only... We've heard the story that Indians will come into a company, and then suddenly they'll start hiring lots of other Indians, and suddenly it's, like, entirely Indianified. But it will often be within specific subgroups. 00:24:29 Speaker 5: So, for example, apparently. 00:24:31 Speaker 6: Everyone who ends up at IBM who's from India, like, they tend to be from the same state of India. Or they'll be from the same caste grouping in India. 00:24:41 Speaker 3: And we have. 00:24:41 Speaker 6: caste discrimination is a real problem that happens in the US. So now some people are agitating. Some people will say, we need bans on caste discrimination. And others will say, bans on caste discrimination are just anti-Indian bigotry. And it's usually both Indians who are having this argument. So they're all fighting each other. And it's a big picture thing. And why I think it's worth highlighting the Indian immigration topic in particular is They actually are overall. They tend to be very educated and high income. 00:25:10 Speaker 5: This is pointed out. 00:25:11 Speaker 2: The ones that come. The ones that come. Not all of India. Not all of them. This is very important. Jack Posobiec is going to love this part. Yes. 00:25:17 Speaker 5: Only the ones we have now. The ones we have. 00:25:19 Speaker 3: Highly selective. 00:25:19 Speaker 5: But they will be less selective because of family reunification. 00:25:22 Speaker 2: The wave two is going to suck. 00:25:22 Speaker 6: The wave two is... That's already happening. So we're already getting the waves of Sikh truck drivers. 00:25:27 Speaker 2: Yes. 00:25:28 Speaker 5: They're... Not as good. They're having more problems with them. 00:25:30 Speaker 2: Wait, so what state in India did all the Singhs come from? Singhs are Sikh. No, Singhs. 00:25:35 Speaker 5: Singhs are Sikh. 00:25:36 Speaker 2: Okay, because there's, like, been five deaths. 00:25:37 Speaker 5: Everyone named Singh as a Sikh. 00:25:39 Speaker 2: There's been, like, five deaths. 00:25:40 Speaker 5: Or historically would be. 00:25:40 Speaker 2: With Singh truck drivers. Like, massive, high-profile trucking deaths from Singh drivers. I don't know what the deal is, but they're all Sikhs. 00:25:49 Speaker 6: So anyone who is Sikh is supposed to name themselves either Singh or Cowher, I believe. 00:25:54 Speaker 2: Okay. 00:25:55 Speaker 5: Where's Patels from? 00:25:56 Speaker 6: Patels are usually from Gujarat, and I think that comes from, they were like a village headman in Gujarat. 00:26:02 Speaker 3: Isn't Punjab the majority Sikh state? 00:26:05 Speaker 6: Yeah, Punjab, I don't know if it's a majority, but it's where most Sikhs are from. You get amazing things out of this. Like in Canada, a very real problem they have is there is radical Sikhs who believe that the Punjab should be its own country. 00:26:19 Speaker 5: They call it Khalistan. 00:26:20 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're called Khalistan. Khalistan, yeah, Khalistan. 00:26:23 Speaker 6: Yeah, and, like, they've done terrorism. Like, they target people. They've murdered people in Canada. 00:26:28 Speaker 2: Wasn't that one guy, remember Henry Nowen, Novak, that got murdered by a Sikh, right? Yes, in England. Was he, because they had the. 00:26:37 Speaker 5: They carry the knife. 00:26:38 Speaker 2: Yeah, the knife. 00:26:38 Speaker 5: The kirpan, I think. 00:26:41 Speaker 2: He was Sikh, so I wonder if he was from that area. 00:26:45 Speaker 5: Well, I think he was born in the UK, but his parents, at some point, would have been. 00:26:48 Speaker 3: They all originate there, so. 00:26:51 Speaker 2: Got it. OK. We didn't even have this conversation on the docket. I hope people are enjoying it. 00:26:55 Speaker 3: Well, and this was and by the way, and this was part of the thing that I think people were saying about Texas was that it's and it's kind of like it's kind of interesting because it's sort of like it gets to some of the things you were saying, Andrew, about. I mean, this is the biggest thought crime of the week. So, I mean, it just makes sense that we would talk about it that. Like the Karl Rove's of the world. Like, why do the neoconservatives have this this like invade the world, invite the world mentality? And they really do have this mentality. 00:27:22 Speaker 2: Because it's closeted for their war crimes. It it. 00:27:27 Speaker 3: So here's here's kind of my view of it. 00:27:29 Speaker 4: Right. 00:27:29 Speaker 3: And I've been thinking about this a lot this week is they view the world as like. not countries the way that we would, like, a normal person would think of a country as, like I was saying earlier, a group of people who has a shared memory, shared culture, et cetera, that shared family ties, like a family, right? It's a large collection of families. And the way they think of the world is, like, corporate entities who are competing against each other but are kind of, like, all in the same, like, rule set, if you will. So, like, America and Canada aren't really different other than the fact of just being– it's like wearing a different team jersey. And then like France, Britain, Germany, et cetera. And you hear this obviously when they talk about sports teams and they'll say, oh, well, our team needs the best player here and needs this guy for our football team so we can win the World Cup even though they lost anyway. And you then realize that this is why they want to– because their only ideology is like liberal democracy– And then so they think that anyone can join liberal democracy. They don't think there's anything beyond. Border language cultures don't matter. And that the only thing that matters is the spread of liberal democracy. So that's why you would support an invasion of Afghanistan, an invasion of Iraq. That's why they support ground war in Iran, because they think that everyone in the world is just waiting to become like a Jeffersonian democracy. And that the culture stuff is all just sort of like, you know, a little bit of spice, a little bit of flavor on the top. And it's a totally radical view where– but it helps you to kind of understand that they really do just think of countries as like these interchangeable units. 00:29:06 Speaker 2: I totally agree. It comes from a bad foundational ideology, right? When you think of the world as tabula rasa. Yeah, your first principle is wrong. So then for everything that flows from it is wrong. Cultures have a heritage, a civilization. And in America, yeah, we are a melting pot in a sense. Because even if it was just all white cultures– I mean, what was the Albion seed? It was like 13 cultures or something. Four, basically. Four. Even then it was a melting pot because it wasn't just all Englishmen or all Germans or all Protestants or you could even say they weren't all Anglican. They weren't all Quaker. 00:29:42 Speaker 5: Right. 00:29:43 Speaker 2: So you have a melting pot. Sure. There's a beauty. There's a beauty in the flex in the joints in the American system. We have the capacity to bring in newcomers. They can survive, thrive and contribute in amazing ways here. But to say that we don't have a heritage, that we aren't a people with a country and a shared history. Nothing ticks me off more, actually, because I'm a proud American. I grew up watching John Wayne movies, studying the Civil War and America's founding. The Revolutionary War was always fascinating to me. And then you bring in all these people who have been here for five minutes, and they're lecturing us, telling us what we can and can't do, what American is and what it isn't. 00:30:18 Speaker 5: I'm sorry. 00:30:19 Speaker 2: That's not cool. That's messed up. 00:30:22 Speaker 3: And, Andrew, the problem with the melting pot, though, is that the different pieces aren't melting anymore. 00:30:28 Speaker 2: Correct. 00:30:28 Speaker 3: Because... So you're bringing people for a variety of reasons, cultural reasons, obviously just in terms of scale, sheer numbers, and then also because of technology, people are able to stay connected so much more to wherever their base country was. whether it be Somalia, whether it be India, et cetera. 00:30:45 Speaker 2: Part of that's social media, Jack. They can watch all their old shows. They can text all their old friends. 00:30:49 Speaker 4: That's exactly what I mean. That's exactly what I mean. 00:30:51 Speaker 3: You get in an Uber, and they're on the phone for, like, four hours with, like, some guy back home, and you have no idea what's going on. 00:30:57 Speaker 2: Why is that like a thing? 00:30:57 Speaker 3: You guys have had that, right? 00:30:58 Speaker 2: Dude, oh, I've had so many Uber rides where they're having conversations with their, like. 00:31:02 Speaker 4: With their face timing. 00:31:04 Speaker 3: But this world, in the third world. 00:31:06 Speaker 5: I've had this a lot. 00:31:06 Speaker 3: No, because in the third world, everything is communal. So, like, in the third world, everything is communal. So, like, all. 00:31:13 Speaker 3: All communication has to be communal. Everything has to be like this vocal communal sense. And that if you're disconnected from the community, if you're disconnected from the village, for example, then it's it feels like you're isolated and you feel like something's off. So even if you don't have anything really to say, you're just keeping that connection going. through the call over. 00:31:35 Speaker 5: And over and over. I don't think it's a communal thing. You'll see this. 00:31:39 Speaker 6: I think it's actually non-text-based societies is also the really interesting thing. 00:31:43 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, that's part of it, too. Yeah, that's part of it, too. But that's the reason that it's a four-hour call versus just an endless group chat like we have. 00:31:54 Speaker 4: Well, and this actually bleeds into the Democrat Party and why they're so interconnected with illegal aliens and immigrants and... uh, you know, and, and just buying off immigrants when they come here is because, uh, you know, places like Arizona, again, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, all three, uh, you can move from a deep blue territory into a new place and still, and that basically never leave that bubble of your, of your culture, right? So you never have to, so this is beyond just, just, uh, assimilating to American culture. It's also assimilating to your local culture, within wherever you go. And this very same problem, this is why they're turning cities like Austin and like what we've seen in San Francisco into basically non-American cities. Because when people come there and then they assimilate to that culture, and then now they get a job in Phoenix or they get a job in Las Vegas and they're moving, they're actually still tied into that hive mind, what you're talking about, Jack, back in San Francisco, right? And so they bring all of the same. So they don't feel the pain. So they're living somewhere cheaper. Oftentimes they're getting paid more in some cases. And then they're not leaving their politics behind because they basically still feel like they live in the Bay Area. Just like they still feel like they live in Mumbai or they live wherever, right? 00:33:21 Speaker 3: It's like. 00:33:22 Speaker 2: This is all a function of modern world. 00:33:25 Speaker 3: So true. 00:33:26 Speaker 4: And so the politics of this– They probably still subscribe to the same local papers. 00:33:31 Speaker 3: You didn't have to do this. 00:33:31 Speaker 2: They follow them on social media. 00:33:33 Speaker 4: No, in the past, you would move to Texas, and it's like you had to buy a pair of boots, and you had to. 00:33:40 Speaker 5: Learn how to ride a horse. 00:33:41 Speaker 2: And you had to learn how to two-step. 00:33:42 Speaker 4: And you had to talk nicely to people in the grocery store. 00:33:45 Speaker 2: You just had to say, yes, sir, no, ma'am, Tyler– This is part of it. 00:33:49 Speaker 3: Tyler, do you know how to ride a horse? Do you know how to ride a horse, Tyler? 00:33:51 Speaker 4: You have to know how to ride a horse if you live in Arizona. 00:33:53 Speaker 3: No, but do you know how to. 00:33:54 Speaker 2: Ride a horse? You used to have to know how to ride a horse. I don't know how to ride a horse. 00:33:57 Speaker 3: You have to. 00:33:57 Speaker 4: Like, I rode one as a kid. I have not ridden a horse. 00:33:59 Speaker 2: Fun fact. Fun fact. My cool cowboy hat. 00:34:01 Speaker 4: My neighbor across the street rode a horse to elementary school. And so he reminds me of that every day when I see him outside. 00:34:10 Speaker 2: He just held the horse there at school all day? 00:34:12 Speaker 4: He would ride the horse to school? 00:34:14 Speaker 2: And they had a trough? 00:34:15 Speaker 4: They would just tie it up outside the school. 00:34:18 Speaker 2: Just tie it up, yeah. 00:34:19 Speaker 3: It's a horse. 00:34:19 Speaker 2: Between... 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., which is school hours. 00:34:24 Speaker 4: That's what horses do, Andrew. They sit there. 00:34:26 Speaker 2: But they have water in Arizona. They have feed. They have shade. 00:34:30 Speaker 3: Have you ever seen a horse in a field? That's what they do all day. They just kind of hang out. 00:34:34 Speaker 2: Not if you tie them at a post outside of the... No, I'm saying. 00:34:38 Speaker 5: There's no grass in Arizona. 00:34:39 Speaker 2: What the hell are you guys talking about? If you tied a horse up at a post. 00:34:44 Speaker 2: Okay, you go to a building, you tie it up. 00:34:47 Speaker 3: At the post. 00:34:47 Speaker 2: Aren't you from the West? 00:34:48 Speaker 3: Aren't you from Nevada? 00:34:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I know a lot more than you about this, actually. It's not like pure greenery where grass just grows anywhere, whether you want it to or not. It's like a weed everywhere. In the West, we don't have unlimited water jacks, so oftentimes there's this thing called dirt and gravel. If you pull your horse up to it, that's what there is. In Arizona, that's basically all you have. I'm just worried about the horse's well-being is all. Did they have an actual trough? Shade? Did they have feed for it? If you're going to keep a horse outside for six hours, you've got to have– I just find it fascinating. 00:35:19 Speaker 4: This isn't like 100 years ago. 00:35:20 Speaker 2: 100 years ago, they would have had a trough and water and feed. I'm curious about now. 00:35:26 Speaker 4: Andrew, horses can go like days without water. 00:35:29 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also not nice in Arizona heat to let them just sit up. 00:35:33 Speaker 4: By the way, I understand. This is the wild west. 00:35:36 Speaker 2: No, hold on. 00:35:37 Speaker 4: Horses can stand outside for a few hours. 00:35:39 Speaker 2: I come from Nevada. Have you not seen Tombstone? 00:35:42 Speaker 5: You know how long these people would be inside saloons? 00:35:44 Speaker 2: Remember True Grit? 00:35:45 Speaker 4: People would be in saloons for hours all during the day. 00:35:49 Speaker 2: And I'm sure a lot of those horses were not better for it. 00:35:52 Speaker 4: And those horses, they would have troughs. They would have troughs. 00:35:55 Speaker 2: You don't tie a horse up for six hours in the Arizona heat. You don't do that. 00:35:59 Speaker 4: I'm sure they had troughs. But you did. It was fine. 00:36:04 Speaker 2: It was fine. 00:36:04 Speaker 4: You're softened because of PETA. 00:36:06 Speaker 2: PETA has softened you. You're a PETA soft. Andrew's going vegan on us. 00:36:13 Speaker 3: He's going all vegan. 00:36:14 Speaker 2: Have you ever eaten horse meat, Jack? 00:36:20 Speaker 3: So because I lived in China for two years, there's probably– There's like– The answer is probably. Yeah, I usually just say probably. Yeah. Like I probably have– like there's a lot of situations– like I probably had dog. Like there's just a lot of situations I was in over there where it's like I don't really know what this is, but I'm going to go for it. 00:36:35 Speaker 2: Okay. Dog meat is like a China thing that you always hear with China. What about India since India was. 00:36:38 Speaker 5: The start of this? Well, India is mostly vegetarian. 00:36:40 Speaker 2: Oh, they throw the cats up. 00:36:42 Speaker 3: No, they're vegetarian. 00:36:42 Speaker 2: They throw the cats up. Yeah, okay. 00:36:45 Speaker 6: Yeah, like they– it's generally– Nice point. Generally, Hindus mostly don't like eating meat. 00:36:50 Speaker 2: What is that crazy religious cult in India that throws the dead cats up into the air? They kill them and they throw them up? 00:36:56 Speaker 5: That used to be a thing in Europe, actually. 00:36:58 Speaker 4: I stay away from all this. 00:37:02 Speaker 2: Leans, levies, wage garnishments, bank account seizures, those aren't just words.

No, no more topics. Only this topic. 00:38:23 Speaker 5: How about we talk about. 00:38:24 Speaker 2: Jack and I could talk about immigration. 00:38:26 Speaker 6: We could talk about 9-11, or we could talk about. 00:38:30 Speaker 5: What was the other title we have? We could talk about Narnia. 00:38:32 Speaker 3: Do I go to Narnia? 00:38:33 Speaker 2: Can we do Narnia? 00:38:34 Speaker 5: Yeah, let's do Narnia. We're diving into Narnia. They're making Narnia again. 00:38:38 Speaker 2: Wait, wait. 00:38:39 Speaker 5: You don't know anything about Narnia? It's very funny because it's first. 00:38:41 Speaker 3: No, no, no. 00:38:41 Speaker 2: I don't know the current controversy about it. I read all the books multiple times. 00:38:46 Speaker 5: We're running into the challenge. 00:38:47 Speaker 3: We've talked about it on this very show many times. 00:38:49 Speaker 5: They've never made a Narnia adaptation that got all the way through to the last battle. It's a seven-book series. We managed to turn seven books of Harry Potter into. 00:38:58 Speaker 6: eight movies somehow okay we managed to turn the twilight books into a bunch of movies but narnia always peters out and so they're trying again and they've decided to make it i'm not making this up a rock and roll like opera just wait what like inspired by the. 00:39:15 Speaker 3: Who with with and this is the most important thing though with rainbow at rainbow female asslan voiced by meryl so this is the Morris by Meryl Streep. Rainbow Female Ashland. 00:39:26 Speaker 2: This is not The Onion? 00:39:27 Speaker 4: No, this is 100%. So they're intentionally trying to destroy it. 00:39:30 Speaker 2: Destroy this yes yeah this is like the demons got in charge of like this beautiful Christian like allegory this is that sounds demonic I'm comfortable saying this this seems like demons. 00:39:43 Speaker 3: Have infiltrated it's obviously demonic no I called it the devil wears asslan. 00:39:48 Speaker 5: The devil wears asslan. 00:39:51 Speaker 3: And Devil Wears Prada. Well, remember, Devil Wears Prada is Meryl Streep. 00:39:54 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Which is actually a decent movie, if I remember. It's probably been 20 years since I've seen it. 00:40:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they just put the sequel out, and it's being promoted everywhere. And at the same time, we get... Rainbow Aslan. 00:40:08 Speaker 2: Wait, so why do you say rainbow? Is it because of this face? 00:40:11 Speaker 3: Look at the picture. Yeah, look at the picture. 00:40:13 Speaker 6: He has heterochromia, just like Daisy on the staff. 00:40:18 Speaker 3: No, no, look at the whiskers. 00:40:19 Speaker 2: Can I see the image up close? 00:40:22 Speaker 3: That's not rainbow, Jack. 00:40:23 Speaker 2: Come on. 00:40:24 Speaker 3: No, dude, you're not looking at the picture correctly. There's rainbow whiskers. 00:40:28 Speaker 2: In the chat, where's the. 00:40:30 Speaker 3: It's not just the eyes. I'm not seeing this, to be honest. There's like a red streak. 00:40:34 Speaker 2: That's not rainbow. 00:40:35 Speaker 3: There's... There's the rainbow. Dead serious, it's rainbow. There's rainbow. Just look at the picture on your actual computer. 00:40:42 Speaker 2: It just looks augmented. It looks enhanced or something. Like, they're adding, like, an edge to it. I don't know. This doesn't bother me. 00:40:48 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm only seeing... Listen to this guy. 00:40:50 Speaker 3: He's willing to go so hard on immigrants, but he, like... But he cucks out over Netflix rainbow accents. 00:40:55 Speaker 6: I am not seeing the rainbow colors here. I'm not seeing the rainbow colors here. 00:40:59 Speaker 2: Blake's got my back. There's no cut. 00:41:02 Speaker 6: I'm seeing orange. I see orange, black, and white. Those are three colors. But that just makes you the Cincinnati Bengals. That doesn't make you. 00:41:11 Speaker 3: There's literally. Okay, I'm looking at it right now. There's orange. There's pink. There's green. There's blue. There's a lot of blue, as a matter of fact. Blue is not a. 00:41:20 Speaker 6: Okay, I got a better. I got a higher quality one. It is a spectrum of, like, colors, but I would say it's not rainbow-y. Like, light blue is not really in a rainbow. 00:41:30 Speaker 3: That's literally the definition of a rainbow. 00:41:32 Speaker 5: A spectrum of colors. It is not a rainbow. 00:41:36 Speaker 2: It's multicolored. We love the rainbow, too. It is God's promise to us not to flood the earth again. So I don't have a– maybe this is reclaiming the rainbow. 00:41:44 Speaker 6: Also, the rainbow is about the sequence of colors as well because it's coming out of the prism. So random haphazard colors– are not the rainbow. I am a rainbow purist, Jack. 00:41:53 Speaker 5: Put the whiskers up. Put the whiskers up. 00:41:55 Speaker 3: Where's the whiskers? 00:41:57 Speaker 5: Where's the whiskers? 00:41:58 Speaker 6: I'm making a higher quality image. We're making a higher quality image. We're diving into this. Is this rainbow? 00:42:03 Speaker 3: Is this LGBTQing of assholes? I made multiple images of this earlier. It is obviously a rainbow. 00:42:09 Speaker 5: That is not rainbow. It is obviously rainbow purism. Rainbow Purism. That is the thought crime of this week. 00:42:15 Speaker 3: It's clearly a rainbow. This is ridiculous. 00:42:18 Speaker 4: You have to be bought off by the trans lobby to not call that rainbow. 00:42:21 Speaker 2: Oh, come on. 00:42:22 Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you. 00:42:23 Speaker 4: You have to be an agent of the LGBTQ lobby. You're probably paid by the gays to say on live air that that's not rainbow whiskers. 00:42:38 Speaker 2: It's colorful. 00:42:38 Speaker 5: No, it is not. 00:42:40 Speaker 2: That is not a rainbow. 00:42:40 Speaker 4: It's colorful rainbow. Look to the right. It's like purple and pink. That just makes it multicolored. 00:42:49 Speaker 5: Rainbow requires a few things. 00:42:50 Speaker 3: Are we really going to be this pedantic over this? 00:42:52 Speaker 5: Yes, we are. 00:42:53 Speaker 2: Now I'm upset. Now I'm getting upset. 00:42:55 Speaker 5: This is absolutely important. 00:42:57 Speaker 4: Show me a magenta whisker anywhere. 00:42:59 Speaker 6: First of all, rainbow implies not merely lots of different colors. It implies the specific colors of the rainbow. 00:43:06 Speaker 5: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. 00:43:10 Speaker 6: And also, it usually implies them being in that order because they're light coming out of the prism. 00:43:15 Speaker 5: If you just have a scatter shot of colors. 00:43:18 Speaker 2: It's just an enhancement. Movies do this. 00:43:20 Speaker 5: This is the most important debate we've ever had. 00:43:22 Speaker 2: No, this is obviously. Throw this up. 00:43:24 Speaker 3: Okay, hold on. 00:43:24 Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, no. 00:43:25 Speaker 3: This is not an enhancement. First of all, it's rock and roll Ashland. It's female Ashland. And now we get this rainbow. 00:43:32 Speaker 2: Wait, Ashland is a girl? 00:43:35 Speaker 4: Wow. 00:43:35 Speaker 2: Okay. Okay. 00:43:37 Speaker 3: I don't know if they're going to make it. Okay. 00:43:39 Speaker 5: I do wonder if they're going to do to buy the voice somehow. 00:43:41 Speaker 2: So that does, that does paint the way I see this a little bit, just because that's sacrilege. Even though Aslan is a made up character, you know, an allegory that was, you know, piece of fiction, but like, I'm just saying colors alone. Now go to 21. That, to me, is LGBTQ. 00:44:01 Speaker 5: That's rainbow, yeah. 00:44:02 Speaker 3: It's the same colors. 00:44:04 Speaker 5: It's the same exact colors. 00:44:06 Speaker 2: Go back to the whiskers. 00:44:07 Speaker 5: They're all there. 00:44:09 Speaker 3: They're all there. 00:44:10 Speaker 4: I did Google rainbow Aslan. 00:44:13 Speaker 3: It's the same colors. 00:44:14 Speaker 4: I did Google rainbow Aslan. There's a lot of imagery of rainbow Aslan. 00:44:20 Speaker 5: Yeah, but you didn't get the new one. You got other stuff. 00:44:23 Speaker 4: No, that's what I'm saying. But there's a lot of people with, depictions of him with rainbows. It's kind of odd. 00:44:30 Speaker 6: Honestly, the main colors in this are orange. It's like bright, fiery orange and light purple. 00:44:37 Speaker 3: So you know like the LGBT Christians, Tyler? This is an op that they've been pushing for a long time to depict Ashland with rainbow-y type colors as opposed to the traditional masculine lion. Also, as we know, obviously only male lions have main okay so what's the. 00:44:57 Speaker 2: Name you've been doing there in the first place jack i'm with you on i'm i'm with you that aslan should not be voiced by a female that is complete sacrilege i'm on the same team there but to claim that like just colorifying the the. 00:45:11 Speaker 6: Character that's fine that it doesn't it doesn't i will say it will matter whether they portray aslan as a woman or gay like really you'd be surprised the number of characters who are male but have female voice actors like generally. 00:45:24 Speaker 2: Well, you remember it's like back in the day. Okay, but this is Aslan. 00:45:27 Speaker 4: Nobody's mistaking Meryl Streep for a man. 00:45:30 Speaker 2: So Black Family. 00:45:32 Speaker 4: Is not a man. This isn't like Tommy Pickles. Or like Bart Compton. This isn't like using a woman's voice for Tommy Pickles. This is literally like a baby. 00:45:43 Speaker 3: No, I don't love that. 00:45:44 Speaker 2: You know what's funny? I remember now, just as we're talking about, when we were growing up, we all had the family VHS collection or whatever, right? And... We had Peter Pan, but it was like the stage play of Peter Pan, but it was a movie. It was a full-length feature, but it was kind of stage play, and it was played by a girl. It never even occurred to me that that was weird at the time because you're a kid, right? You're just watching some stage performance. 00:46:09 Speaker 3: No, I was a kid, and I thought that was crazy when they had the female Peter Pan. 00:46:13 Speaker 2: I mean, it occurred to me that it was like, yes. 00:46:14 Speaker 3: I was like, what the heck is wrong with this? 00:46:15 Speaker 4: I know. 00:46:16 Speaker 2: I remember kind of going like, that's weird. I mean, were there no guys to play it? But I didn't think that hard about it. 00:46:20 Speaker 4: Yeah, whenever they would do stage versions of female Peter Pan, that made me turned off to Peter Pan. 00:46:27 Speaker 2: Why is Peter Pan? 00:46:28 Speaker 5: They're called the lost boys. Peter Pan as a boy wouldn't grow up, so you play him with an adult woman. 00:46:31 Speaker 2: Oh, wait. Who said what? Jack is absolutely right. This is Russ. 00:46:35 Speaker 4: They are definitely tranifying. 00:46:37 Speaker 2: Transifying? 00:46:38 Speaker 3: Russ! They are? Oh, no, no. 00:46:41 Speaker 4: Transifying. 00:46:42 Speaker 2: Hold on. 00:46:42 Speaker 4: Transifying. 00:46:43 Speaker 3: Transland. Transland. 00:46:45 Speaker 2: So, Jack, there's two parts of this, and you're conflating them. You're saying it's Rainbow Aslan because of the colors. 00:46:52 Speaker 3: It is Rainbow Aslan. It's right there. 00:46:53 Speaker 2: Because of the colors. That I disagree with. 00:46:57 Speaker 5: You're like, I disagree because it's not technically Roy G. 00:46:59 Speaker 2: Biv. 00:47:00 Speaker 3: It's like, you're being so pedantic. 00:47:01 Speaker 2: No, that's not pedantic. 00:47:03 Speaker 5: This is Netflix. If it's not Roy G. Biv, it ain't a rainbow. 00:47:08 Speaker 4: How much money is Netflix paying you? That's what I think, too. I'm weirded out right now. I'm wearing it out. You guys have like a contract with like Universal or something. 00:47:19 Speaker 6: By the way, real quick, I want to shout out Zuzu's Pedals who donated and says that the Obamas destroyed Anne of Green Gables. 00:47:25 Speaker 5: Apparently they must have done an adaptation and made that really gay. 00:47:28 Speaker 2: That's pretty sad. 00:47:29 Speaker 4: I didn't know that. 00:47:29 Speaker 5: I didn't know about that. 00:47:30 Speaker 2: Is that part of their new Netflix deal? 00:47:32 Speaker 5: It must have been. Susan Rice and the Obamas totally gay and destroyed Anne of Green Gables. 00:47:35 Speaker 4: And Lord of the Rings. 00:47:36 Speaker 5: I've learned about new things they destroyed all the time. 00:47:38 Speaker 3: The Lord of the Rings was Amazon. 00:47:40 Speaker 2: Can I explain myself? 00:47:41 Speaker 4: Lord of the Rings had a lot of rainbows. It was weird. 00:47:45 Speaker 2: Well, Tyler ruined Lord of the Rings for me forever. But here's what I would say. I want to make sure that we don't get outraged at things that aren't worth getting outraged about. And that we direct our outrage at things that are actually outrageous. 00:47:57 Speaker 5: So then let's focus on the other parts of this. I don't know who we is. 00:48:00 Speaker 3: I know we in this. This is you sucking up for Netflix. 00:48:02 Speaker 5: So then let's dive into the other part of this. You're not going to gag up Ashland and I'm going to shut my mouth. Without fixating on the main, let's dive into the other parts. 00:48:11 Speaker 3: So. 00:48:11 Speaker 4: Good for you, Jack. 00:48:12 Speaker 5: This is from Empire Magazine. 00:48:13 Speaker 4: I'm on Jack's side for this. I don't even know why you. 00:48:17 Speaker 2: Would defend this. I will agree. This version of Aslan does feel overtly pagan. 00:48:20 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. 00:48:21 Speaker 5: We'll see. 00:48:21 Speaker 2: We'll see. 00:48:22 Speaker 6: Anyway, so first of all, let's remind ourselves. The director of this is Greta Gerwig, who made Barbie. So it's by the director of Barbie. So already a bad sign. And then so it's the magician's nephew. 00:48:32 Speaker 5: And it is. 00:48:33 Speaker 6: It comes from... This is... I'm going to read from the Empire article. Both literally and metaphorically, Gerwig's adaptation comes from the same mid-COVID lockdown creative wellspring that birthed Barbie. I had the same idea with Narnia, she tells Empire. I wanted a rock opera. I wanted it to be big and transporting. While not literally a rock opera. Okay, it's not a musical, but the creativity of it is going to. 00:48:56 Speaker 2: Is she gay, this director? 00:48:58 Speaker 5: Is she? I don't know. 00:49:00 Speaker 4: Jack. 00:49:01 Speaker 6: She says... David Bowie saved my life. Paul McCartney saved my life. Pete Townshend saved my life. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant. I heard their music. I had this deep sense of thinking you're going to be okay. Narnia is literally a world made out of music. Is that the case of magician's nephew it might might be the case It is a world sung to life by Aslan and rock and roll, to me, felt like a world made of music. 00:49:25 Speaker 2: There was a ringing of the rings. They made like a dinging noise. 00:49:30 Speaker 5: Yeah, and so then they're moving. 00:49:31 Speaker 3: So here's a few things. He does sing, that's true. 00:49:34 Speaker 5: Changes they're making. 00:49:34 Speaker 2: But it's not like a rock song. Oh, that's right. Aslan sings. Yeah, okay. 00:49:38 Speaker 5: They're moving the setting from early 1900s, like late Victorian era, to post-war 50s Britain. 00:49:47 Speaker 3: Oh, that's kind of funny. 00:49:49 Speaker 2: Awful. 00:49:50 Speaker 5: Oh, you guys should fight this out. I don't hate it automatically. 00:49:53 Speaker 2: At least it's not like 2026 London when they have to do all the Muslim invasion. 00:50:02 Speaker 7: What's weird about it is if you're doing 50s Magician's Nephew, then you're setting up 90s Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which is baffling and weird. 00:50:13 Speaker 2: It's so that they can turn the Pevensies into gays. Right. 00:50:17 Speaker 3: So that's what they've been doing. So one of the greatest things about Narnia is that, as we were talking about, it's that connection to history when you read the series. Obviously, there's the land of Narnia, but also there's the real world events that are going on. So you get that view into Victorian London. That's why it makes sense that the horse comes with them, because why they were horse-drawn carriages and cabs. in Victorian London. Uh, why did the kids go to the house in the countryside in the first place? Well, that's because the blitz was on and the kids went to the countryside. So it's, it's all set against the backdrop of world war two and people are being killed, et cetera. And it's like an escapism, uh, which of course, uh, CS Lewis himself played a huge deal. He did these great, um, radio addresses on BBC during, during the actual blitz. So, I mean, it, it plays into the direct history, uh, And it's just very sad. I think it's just very sad that instead of getting all of that, what Netflix has decided to put money behind is just, oh, we're going to have 1950s and then 90s, 90s, Night of the Witch and the Wardrobe for no reason whatsoever. And it's going to be rock and roll. 00:51:21 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious. 00:51:22 Speaker 3: Because that's what everybody thinks of when they think of Narnia. 00:51:25 Speaker 2: I'm curious what the rationale. 00:51:26 Speaker 3: It's like you totally missed the point. The rationale is they hate America, they hate Britain, they hate the West, they hate God, they hate Jesus Christ, they hate men, and they hate anything that's a Christian allegory. They hate Christian symbols because Christian symbols have real power. 00:51:40 Speaker 4: I think the Peter Pan thing that you just brought up that just like a light bulb went off is that anytime that you can take something and make it like unpalatable for men, then... then you win, right? I don't think that was the intent with some of. 00:51:58 Speaker 2: The, you like ruin these institutions, but like. 00:52:01 Speaker 4: But, but now I think they figured out if you, if you, if you insert Meryl Streep, they know that men won't consume it. 00:52:09 Speaker 2: Therefore women will champion it. 00:52:11 Speaker 4: Men won't be interested in as interested in Narnia and Narnia will change for men. And they have, that's as, that's as good for them to remove out of culture and as it would be to attack. 00:52:27 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're saying it takes Narnia off the chessboard. It's like no longer belongs to us anymore. 00:52:32 Speaker 4: Boys will not. Little boys. 00:52:34 Speaker 2: Young boys will. 00:52:36 Speaker 4: Be like, I'm not really interested in that. I don't want to play with Barbies. I don't want to play with My Little Ponies. And so that's a My Little Pony movie, and I'm not watching it. 00:52:45 Speaker 6: I'm still really upset by you guys being weird, liberal revisionists about The Rainbow. You guys are changing the definition of what. 00:52:56 Speaker 5: A rainbow is. 00:52:57 Speaker 2: We believe in eternal concepts. You're being funny, but we didn't change it. We need to remember that it is literally God's sign to humanity. 00:53:06 Speaker 5: It is God's sign, and it is Roy G. 00:53:08 Speaker 2: Biff. 00:53:09 Speaker 5: It says that in the book of Genesis. Not literally. 00:53:11 Speaker 3: If I could give a shout-out, though, because I know I have to run. I don't know if you guys are staying on later, but huge shout-out to our good friends over at the Museum of the Bible. who are putting on the greatest and best adaptation of Narnia that I have ever seen anywhere. We've seen multiple iterations of it. We've seen The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe there. We've seen The Horse and His Boy. Prince Caspian is on right now. They are done by a theater company that is just huge fans of TPUSA. They were huge fans of Charlie and Erica, and they do a phenomenal job, and I just hope that if anyone... gets a chance to see this. I know they're at the Museum of the Bible for the next couple of months. Are they going to tour? In Washington, D.C. They also go to South Carolina, and I think Branson, and they're looking at potentially going to other spots. It's incredible. It's very well done. It's Broadway-level production through and through. Aslan is as big as the entire stage when they bring him out. It's phenomenal, and he has that kind of majesty that you would expect from something That is supposed to be this, and I absolutely love it. I've taken my kids to a bunch of them. 00:54:26 Speaker 2: Well, hopefully they take it on tour. Yeah, shout out to the Museum of the Bible. That's good. And hopefully they take it on tour because often they'll get– they have this beautiful theater at the Museum of the Bible. If you haven't been there, it's worth checking out. But they'll get Broadway plays that come through the Museum of the Bible. I mean it's a really beautiful facility. Jack, why do you have to leave us? 00:54:47 Speaker 3: They're based out of South Carolina. I'm going to the Terry Schilling's got a nice project. 00:54:52 Speaker 2: Tell him hi for us. So how many children are here now? 00:54:55 Speaker 3: Like 14. 00:54:57 Speaker 2: What is he at now? 00:54:58 Speaker 3: I think they, I think they just unlocked another one. 00:55:00 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:55:00 Speaker 4: They have kids. 00:55:02 Speaker 3: It's like a video game and they're just unlocking. 00:55:03 Speaker 4: Yeah. That guy has kids every eight and a half months. 00:55:06 Speaker 2: It's crazy. His wife is taking a lot of calcium. All right. 00:55:10 Speaker 3: So I'm, I'm at my heart out. Do you want me to sign off for you guys and keep going? 00:55:14 Speaker 2: I want one more topic. don't we have one more. 00:55:16 Speaker 6: Time i think he has has he has to leave too unfortunately ah we could just go just the two of us or we could drag russ out here. 00:55:21 Speaker 2: No no it's fine we'll wrap it up all right i'm gonna take us home that was a short but sweet uh episode of thought crime and you know i think we covered some good ground here namely that you do not wussify and feminize our christian institutions are our beloved characters although i don't i still don't believe that was lgbt it. 00:55:42 Speaker 6: Wasn't it wasn't that was pure hallucination pure psychosis before before you go we go home asu's playing in london this this weekend so the first first college football game i think maybe ever who's being played in london uh at wembley no uh kansas so it's arizona state versus kansas brian early. 00:56:06 Speaker 2: And the across the pond like the what the lobster. 00:56:10 Speaker 5: Backs schools Wait, wait, hold on. They're doing that? 00:56:14 Speaker 2: Really? 00:56:15 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're playing a college football game. 00:56:17 Speaker 2: It's like NFL's version. 00:56:18 Speaker 4: This is stupid. College football game over in London. 00:56:20 Speaker 2: Do you think they're going to sell out Wembley? 00:56:22 Speaker 4: I think they are, yeah. That's dumb. 00:56:24 Speaker 5: I'm going to say it. That's dumb. 00:56:26 Speaker 6: Everyone's like, college football is so great because of the campus vibe and the culture. Actually, let's just hovercraft this team all the way to the other. 00:56:32 Speaker 2: Side of the ocean. That is kind of dumb. I hadn't thought about that. 00:56:34 Speaker 4: So that's happening. 00:56:35 Speaker 5: Like, I get it with the NFL. 00:56:37 Speaker 2: You're kind of robbing ASU or Kansas of a home game. Yeah. 00:56:40 Speaker 4: That is weird. I think we're getting robbed. I think we're getting robbed. 00:56:43 Speaker 2: Yeah, think about that. 00:56:44 Speaker 4: We better win. 00:56:45 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. 00:56:46 Speaker 4: And the second thing is everyone better be cheering for the Giants this weekend. 00:56:52 Speaker 2: Against who are they? 00:56:53 Speaker 4: It's America's team. It doesn't matter who they're playing. America's team. 00:56:55 Speaker 2: Jackson Dart. 00:56:56 Speaker 4: Jackson Dart. He's my quarterback. He's my quarterback. We had a great weekend. 00:57:00 Speaker 2: We had a great week. Four touchdown passes. 00:57:03 Speaker 4: Dude, I had a great week. 00:57:03 Speaker 3: No turnovers. 00:57:05 Speaker 4: Number one scorer in my league. 00:57:06 Speaker 5: And, of course, we're getting told off. 00:57:08 Speaker 2: It was Caleb Williams was the number one scorer in my league. 00:57:10 Speaker 6: Speaking of, while you're watching football, I've been told we should shout out Commit 100 before we go. 00:57:16 Speaker 4: Tpaction.com slash 100. Please get signed up. Come chase ballots with us in Arizona or New Hampshire. tpaction.com slash Nevada, too. But our priorities right now, Arizona and New Hampshire, we really need bodies. 00:57:30 Speaker 2: All right, good. So if you are in Arizona... If you are in New Hampshire– but if you're not even in those states, right, Tyler? 00:57:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, no. 00:57:39 Speaker 4: We have free hotels. 00:57:40 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you could also just use the app. Can we do people that way? 00:57:44 Speaker 4: Three different ways is if you're from there, we need your help for sure. Two, we have free hotels. So right now we're really hard recruiting to get people into the hotels. 00:57:54 Speaker 2: If you are a conservative in and around Boston, for example– This would be a great opportunity. You'll have more impact in New Hampshire. 00:58:02 Speaker 4: If you're in New York, you want to come over, spend a couple days. I mean, it's beautiful, obviously, in late October in New Hampshire. Didn't you have that as one of your states you would live in? 00:58:11 Speaker 2: Yeah, because of this. 00:58:12 Speaker 4: Because we're turning New Hampshire this year. 00:58:14 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a bastion of red. 00:58:16 Speaker 4: Flipping New Hampshire. 00:58:17 Speaker 2: It's going to be amazing. But say I live in Montana and I can't travel. can i get involved and. 00:58:23 Speaker 4: Then we get the third way is we can do remote but we we want we want people to come spend spend a week in arizona new hampshire. 00:58:30 Speaker 2: You could do a month too you could do up to a month yeah so we'll put somebody if they want to do a month and if you get through your 100 list we'll give you another 100 yeah that's right so all right tpaction.com slash 100 and by the way these are conservatives they're not liberals so you're talking to like-minded people you're not going to be having like some esoteric debate about some silliness if that you just you're just getting them to get off the couch and get their ballot in. So it's a really good opportunity. tpaction.com slash 100. That wraps us up for today. Until next Thursday, keep committing thought crime. 00:59:05 Speaker 5: For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to charliekirk.com.
