Introduction

In Thought Crime Thursday episode 93, Jack Posobiec welcomes listeners to delve into the pervasive Sydney Sweeney American Eagle advertisement that has ignited controversy across media platforms. Joining him are regular co-hosts Charlie Kirk, Blake, and producer Andrew. The episode's primary focus revolves around the ad's reception, accusations of it embodying Nazi propaganda, and the broader implications for societal norms and media influence.

---

Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle Advertisement

Jack Posobiec initiates the discussion by highlighting the immense visibility and backlash surrounding the Sydney Sweeney ad campaign for American Eagle. He remarks:

“This Sydney Sweeney ad that is completely taken over the universe. People are calling it out as Nazi propaganda.” (00:52)

The ad features Sweeney emphasizing "good genes," which critics argue parallels historical eugenics movements. Posobiec defends the campaign, suggesting that such ads are mass media campaigns with significant financial backing, possibly in the billions:

“These are ubiquitous mass media campaigns that are launched with multimillion dollars. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a billion dollar campaign behind Sydney Sweeney.” (02:57)

Blake adds context by presenting segments of the ad, where Sweeney clarifies she isn't explicitly endorsing American Eagle but plays on the word "genes":

“I'm not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans... this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans.” (03:10)

Charlie Kirk intensifies the critique, linking the ad's themes to racial superiority:

“She's white and she has blue eyes, which is a crime in modern America.” (04:16)

---

Analyzing the Criticism

Jack Posobiec questions the validity of the accusations:

“Can someone explain, Charlie, if race is a social construct, how can what she say be racist?” (11:08)

Charlie Kirk responds by highlighting the limitations on discussing genetics and the double standards in societal criticisms:

“When we talk about race and all this, black is beautiful... but one single lady in an advertisement and everyone loses their mind.” (12:27)

Blake provides a comprehensive analysis, suggesting that the ad's use of a blonde, blue-eyed model harkens back to past beauty standards, thereby invoking unwanted racial connotations:

“The copy and the implication of calling a white person superior because of their genes... reflects an unbridled cultural shift towards whiteness, conservatism and capitalist exploitation.” (26:10)

---

Reactions to the Advertisement

The hosts discuss online reactions, noting that while some dismiss the criticisms as manufactured, the sheer volume of backlash indicates genuine discontent. Charlie Kirk points out the irony in the left's swift condemnation:

“They are playing right into our hands if this is manufactured. It doesn't make any sense.” (24:55)

Blake reads excerpts from an MSNBC article criticizing the ad, which further fuels the debate:

“The Internet has been quick to condemn the advertisement as non-inclusive... the campaign feels regressive and not retro, offensive and not cheeky.” (26:10)

Charlie Kirk counters by emphasizing the shift back to traditional values and the demand for more provocative and honest marketing:

“It's a throwback to the 1980s... it's natural. She's leaning in as opposed to trying to make excuses for how beautiful she is.” (20:18)

---

The Impact of Body Modifications

Transitioning from the ad discussion, the conversation shifts to body modifications in media and their societal implications. Charlie Kirk expresses concern over the prevalence of piercings and tattoos, linking them to a perceived rebellion against natural order:

“There's nothing traditional or standard fare. Everything has to be different. I personally believe that.” (14:06)

Blake explores psychological theories behind body mods, including social sabotage among women and transgenderism influences. He also acknowledges that while some tattoos might attract certain demographics, the fundamental appeal of Sydney Sweeney remains her natural beauty:

“Sydney Sweeney is thin, has good symmetry... the qualities that she has are just naturals.” (17:23)

---

Charlie Kirk on South Park Caricature

A significant segment of the episode revolves around Charlie Kirk's portrayal in South Park. Blake shares the excitement among supporters:

“When Charlie discovered that he was caricatured on South Park, Blake was very, very excited.” (29:18)

Charlie Kirk reflects on his nostalgic connection to South Park, comparing his current experience to watching the show during the Bush era. He narrates incidents of being recognized and parodied, highlighting the cultural penetration of his persona:

“I've been blown away personally, because I've walked with you in public places and... getting stopped all the time for selfies.” (38:21)

The hosts play various South Park clips where Eric Cartman mocks their ideologies, reinforcing the narrative of their media influence:

“You hate America and you love abortion.” (30:35)

Charlie Kirk emphasizes the global reach of their movement and the unexpected nature of being parodied in such a mainstream show:

“How does that feel? Like a show you watch, like a cartoon show you watched growing up is now... satirize you?” (33:52)

---

Cultural Shifts and Media Influence

Jack Posobiec and Charlie Kirk discuss the broader cultural shifts indicated by both the ad controversy and the South Park portrayal. They argue that these developments signal a move back to center values, countering perceptions of increasing far-right ideologies:

“It's moving back to the center where everything always was.” (21:27)

They also touch upon media strategies and the importance of maintaining cultural narratives that support their viewpoints against what they perceive as a dominant leftist media bias.

---

Conclusion

As the episode wraps up, the hosts reaffirm their commitment to challenging mainstream narratives and promoting what they consider traditional American values. They encourage listeners to continue resisting what they term as thought crimes and to stay engaged with their movement's growth and cultural impact.

“We can bring it back. We can bring it back. Sydney Sweeney bringing it back.” (26:50)

“Keep committing thought crimes. Next week will not be boring. Make sure you guys tune in. God bless. Talk to you soon.” (47:39)

[Jack Posobiec]

From the age of Big Brother. If they want to get you, they'll get you. DNSA specifically targets the communications of everyone. They're collecting your communications. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to another edition of Thought Crime Thursday. Happy Thought Crime Thursday. Jack Posobic here. Charlie Kirk will be joining, joining us in a second. A lot of thought crimes this week, especially some which involve Charlie Kirk directly. Actually, that's pretty much every week. But riding side saddle, of course, we've got the great Blake and also producer Andrew. What's up, guys?

[Blake]

Howdy, Jack.

[Charlie Kirk]

What's going on, Jack?

[Blake]

Once.

[Jack Posobiec]

I think we're all going to be remote. This is. This is a rare occurrence for us.

[Charlie Kirk]

Blake is in an undisclosed location in a bunker somewhere.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Even worse, it's a Bunker in Washington, D.C. yeah, I don't. I don't recommend it.

[Charlie Kirk]

Swamp Creature. That means you and Jack are actually relatively close by.

[Jack Posobiec]

Yeah, yeah. We. We talked about actually seeing if we could get the logistics to work to be together, but it just. Just didn't. I. I didn't realize he was in town, and I'd like family stuff going on, so it didn't work. But one day. One day we'll all be here together. But the. The. The big story, right? The big story that I think of the week that we've all got to get into, and it's. It's just. It's ubiquitous. It's everywhere. Everyone's talking about it. I'd like to say that we sort of, you know, called this shot a full year ago here on Thought Crime. It's Sydney Sweeney. It is this Sydney Sweeney ad that is completely taken over the universe. People are calling it out as Nazi propaganda. Sydney Sweeney has good genesis. Of course, he's playing, you know, paying homage, I guess you could say, to a Brooke Shields ad from 1980 and where, you know, there's a very similar monologue and they're using a pun, of course. Jeans and jeans with the J and the G and the left is. Is in. I have to say, they're just in complete meltdown mode over this. They are completely losing their minds. And again, by the way, this is just a commercial, right? It's. It is a commercial. And I love this because. And Blake, I want to throw it to you, because whenever the right used to get upset about, say, like, Dylan Mulvaney or one of these things, wouldn't they always say, oh, it's just a commercial. Oh, it's just a commercial. Right. And I would argue, I guess, that these things aren't just Commercials. These are ubiquitous mass media campaigns that are launched with multimillion dollars. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a billion dollar campaign behind Sydney Sweeney, because it's everywhere. There are people taking pictures in malls, all over the place of this. And it's not just a commercial. It is, in fact, a huge tell for where we are as a society. But, Blake, what's your take on that?

[Blake]

Yeah, well, I think, first of all, we should probably show the ad in case people haven't seen it. So, yeah, there was the, like, the image ad where she has great jeans. But how about. I think it's also a video clip. Let's show cut 4, 30.

[Sydney Sweeney]

I'm not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans. And I definitely won't say that they're the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn or that they make your butt look amazing. Why would I need to do that? But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I'm not gonna stop you. But just so we're clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans.

[Jack Posobiec]

Sydney Sweeney has for kings.

[Sydney Sweeney]

You see what I did there?

[Jack Posobiec]

Those are pretty. Those are pretty tame. But then there's. There's 5, 2, 4. And I think 5, 2, 4 is the one that's really, really pushing the envelope with a lot of these types.

[Sydney Sweeney]

Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My genes are blue.

[Jack Posobiec]

Cities 20. Hasbro kings. Oh, no. Denounce. Horrible.

[Blake]

They made a terrible. They made a pun.

[Charlie Kirk]

Dare you disavow completely? That's obviously eugenics and Nazi propaganda. And she happens to be white, Jack. I think that's the real, you know, thing we really need to zero in on. She's white and she has blue eyes, which is a crime. It's a crime in modern America.

[Jack Posobiec]

My jeans are blue, by the way. I think we have Charlie. Do we have Charlie joining us?

[Charlie Kirk]

I am here. Yes. Guys, sorry for the delay. Complicated business.

[Jack Posobiec]

Charlie, do you have good jeans?

[Charlie Kirk]

I was. I was shop. I was actually jean shopping. That's why I was.

[Jack Posobiec]

That was not planned, folks.

[Charlie Kirk]

I was trying on some new jeans.

Which brand were they, Charlie? Did the Miami work or.

They were. They were Lululemon, and I'm considering an American Eagle purchase just in solidarity. We had a hilarious call on our show. Hilarious. And we're gonna air it. This woman, sweet old woman, she's like, reading a prepared script, and she's a member of ours. It's one of the greatest clips Ever. And she's like, charlie, I'm a member. I'm a child of God. I pray for you all the time.

Everything.

You know, you do such a wonderful job. I want you to let you know that that ad, the reaction was so insulting. I have blonde hair and blue eyes and I have good genes. I bought American Eagle jeans just as a protest. I'm like, I like. I love. No, it was so good. I got to get the clip. It was. The radicalization just from the reaction of this advertisement has been. Has been amazing to witness.

Every time that a leftist screams about Sydney Sweeney being some sort of like. Or the ad being some eugenicist ad or Nazi propaganda, I think, like a thousand more young men register Republican. I think it's a one to one ratio. Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wing. No, a young Republican is born. It's amazing. It's like the best marketing that the Republican Party could ever hope for. Just please keep making these insane videos and think about how many.

One of my. One of my. One of my favorites. One of. One of my favorites, I'll let Jack chime in, is, you know, some of these Subaru women on social media, they're like, what do young men see in Sydney Sweeney anyway? I'm like, yeah, you really don't understand. Obviously.

Literally, they don't understand. They should see our streaming number shoot up every time we play the ad. Does she even have a graduate degree?

It's.

It's def.

It's definitely her. Her personality. Jack, your thoughts?

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, so let's. Let's look at where we were in advertising a year ago or even two years ago when we had the likes of Dylan Mulvaney being a corporate. The face of a corporate brand. We had the likes of the. The plus size models. Remember, the plus size models were feeded upon us in Times Square and in marketing campaigns all across the German shepherd.

[Charlie Kirk]

I'm sorry. No, no, I'm sorry. You got to go back. Hold on.

[Jack Posobiec]

You got to. You got to tell me.

[Charlie Kirk]

Time out. No, no, you're going to. No, no, no, no. Hold on. You hold on. Time out. Go back to the picture you showed before. Did they do an American eagle just to troll them? Not that one. The. The. Did they. No, I'm sorry, Jack, to interrupt the one where she's holding the dog. Is she really holding a German shepherd in one of the advertisements?

[Jack Posobiec]

Oh, my God. It's just a dog.

[Charlie Kirk]

How. How has this been lost on all the critics? I think it's hilarious.

[Jack Posobiec]

It's just a Dog. Although they do. They do say the German Shepherds are the most trainable dogs. That's why they use them in the military, law enforcement.

[Charlie Kirk]

I'm sorry, Jack, I interrupted. I'm sorry. Of all the picture, of all the dogs they could have selected.

It'S a puppy.

[Jack Posobiec]

Why isn't it.

[Charlie Kirk]

They did. They did.

[Jack Posobiec]

Why wasn't it a pit bull?

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, that's a whole other thought crime, Jack. I interrupted. You keep going.

[Jack Posobiec]

No, you're fine. You're fine. And it's. It so. And, yeah, we've got a bunch of videos reacting to this, but think of the billions and billions of dollars that were spent on these mass marketing campaigns to try to tell us that the 2019American Eagle model was as. I'm just going to say it was. It was as attractive as the 2025. It's. It's clear. I mean, I don't know. Maybe some people are into that. I'm not really that much of a badonka donk guy myself. I'm sure that. I'm sure that they're out there. I've certainly met guys like that when I was in the military. But, you know, I'll go for the 2025 all day long. And I'm sorry, like, you're. You want young men to not be attracted to Sydney Sweeney is like, you could. You could spend all the money in the world. Elon Musk could come up with the greatest AI input, all of the knowledge of the entire world, and it will not be able to come up with. With a computation that will make young men not be attracted to Sydney Sweeney. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This reality is reality. It's as simple as that. Folks.

[Charlie Kirk]

I think, like, let's play some of the reaction here. Well, Blake, big picture thing. Let's play some of the reaction.

[Blake]

We'll do that. We'll do that after the reaction. Let's do the reaction first.

[Charlie Kirk]

How about.

[Blake]

Let's start with. I think the funniest one is, let's do 501. Let's do that.

[Charlie Kirk]

Roe v. Wade.

Not enough.

[Jack Posobiec]

Because I'm starting to think we're one Sydney Sweeney campaign away from them taking our right to vote, too. We must start protesting.

[Charlie Kirk]

Ladies.

[Blake]

She can't keep getting away with it.

[Charlie Kirk]

She's got to be trolling now. I think that one's a troll. I think that one is, like, kind of a, you know, a little bit. I don't think they're affected.

Okay.

But. Yeah, that one's too affected. Yeah.

[Blake]

Good morning, America. Was probably not. Not trolling us. So how about let's do. Let's do 4:25.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

That was a backlash of our new.

[Charlie Kirk]

Ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.

[Jack Posobiec]

Yeah, the ads are for American Eagle and the tagline is Sydney Sweeney has great genes. Now in one ad, the blonde hair, blue eyed actress talks about genes, as in DNA being passed down from her parents.

[Charlie Kirk]

The play on words is being compared to Nazi propaganda with racial undertones.

[Jack Posobiec]

The pun good genes activates a troubling.

[Blake]

Historical associations for this country. The American eugenics movement in its prime.

[Jack Posobiec]

Between like 1900 and 1940 weaponized the idea of good genes just to justify white supremacism. Despite that backlash, American Eagle stock has been soaring.

[Blake]

Imagine that.

[Charlie Kirk]

Who wants to react?

[Jack Posobiec]

So guys, I'm confused. I'm a little confused. Can someone. Charlie, you're on campus all the time. You know, you know, you see, you, you interact with these professors as well as the kids. I was told that race was a social construct along with gender. So if race is a social construct, then how can what she say be racist? Because she's just talking about biology. But if race is a social construct, then how can that be racist? I don't understand. I don't get it.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, you're not allowed to ask those questions, right? You're not allowed to talk about genetics, even though some of the most popular, most touted companies last couple years was 23andMe and Ancestry.com, but you're not allowed to talk about genetics. Let's go to another go, Andy.

Yeah, I mean, when we talk about race and all this, I mean, we, we are living in a world where black is beautiful and you know, we're, I mean, all the races, at least black, I mean, but I think basically most of the race except for white have a free license to sort of talk about how great they are. I mean, I don't understand what the. If we're going to be consistent here, then we should be able to do that. That's all I'm saying. It's, you know, everything, everything should be fair game. But anyways, go ahead, Charlie. I don't mean to interrupt you.

No, it's fine. I mean, you just think of all the stuff. I mean, it's support black businesses, Black Lives Matter, Black History Month, and there is one single lady, there's one lady who is in a advertisement for jeans and everyone loses their mind. They immediately call it Nazi propaganda. Let's continue with cut for 27.

[Jack Posobiec]

Should we be surprised that a company.

[Blake]

Whose name is literally American Eagle is making fascist propaganda like this?

[Charlie Kirk]

Probably not, but it's still really shocking.

[Blake]

Like a blonde haired, blue eyed, white woman is talking about her good genes like that is Nazi propaganda. Did she have a septum piercing?

[Jack Posobiec]

And they all have stepped in pure.

[Charlie Kirk]

I don't know why. Can we have a conversation about that? As a side note, what is with the. I have a whole theory as to why young men find Sydney Sweeney attractive outside of the obvious. One of it is that there's no disfiguration, there's no work, there's no tattoos. I mean, you look at them, you look at the difference there. What is, what is the nose piercing appeal? Who are you drawing into your life? What kind of energy are you sending out? And I'm sure some of them are good people. But what, what is the pro septum piercing argument? I've never heard it.

[Jack Posobiec]

You get to look like a bull. I don't know, like, I've never got it. I just would like to be able to order coffee somewhere that, you know, I don't have to see a septum piercing everywhere. I mean, I think I can understand if it's somewhere the fact that we.

[Blake]

Allow what it really is just everywhere.

[Jack Posobiec]

It's just everywhere. You know, the, you know, tattoos all over the place and septum piercings all over the place. And you see this with, like, teachers now in, in grade schools. You see this in children's tv. I see it because, you know, I watch, like, kids media, Charlie, I'm sure in the same boat. And Andrew, because, you know, we, you know, we have little kids and all.

[Charlie Kirk]

The time I'm an expert in it.

[Jack Posobiec]

I never remember anyone in kids media looking like that before. But, you know, just to go back to Sydney Sweeney, I think, Charlie, what you're saying is it's because, you know, the qualities that she has are just naturals. She's got great naturals. I think it's really the naturals that these young men are so attracted to her. Her wonderful naturals.

[Charlie Kirk]

Blake.

[Blake]

Okay, so first of all, I like on the, on the septum piercing, there's kind of two theories. You'll see. One is kind of there is this element where sometimes it's a psychological theory that women will like, egg on each other, supposedly in like a you go girl sort of way. They'll egg each other on to doing things that make you less competitive, like in the, basically in the dating market, in competing for the attention of men. So you'll be like, does this, does this septum piercing make me look good? And you're like, yeah, it makes you look great, sister. And, like, even subconsciously, they realize it doesn't do that. But that's a good thing because you want. You want the competition to be sabotaged. That's one theory. Another theory, frankly, you could kind of relate it to, you know, the social contagion with transgenderism where women are, you know, young women, they. This is the theory in that Abigail Shrier book where women who are in their teens and they're sort of traumatized by suddenly, you know, they've hit puberty, they're suddenly getting male attention, and some of them find that very uncomfortable. And this uncomfortable thing sort of drives them in the direction of, well, maybe I just don't want to be a woman at all. And you kind of. You do the whole dramatic, you know, identifying as having no gender or being male, and that's like, a way to secede from male attention and maybe, like, really disgusting body deformations, like piercing your septum, getting a really hideous tattoo, or even just getting incredibly fat. These are ways of sort of cutting this off. It gets you away from that uncomfortable element of attention. Like, everyone. Everyone's so afraid of receiving attention from others that feels uncomfortable at all that they do that. So there's kind of competing theories out there. Another one on the flip side, this is a common one with tattoos, is that if you get a tattoo, it actually does increase the attention you get, even though most men find them less attractive. A lot of men will basically hit on women who have tattoos because they perceive that they'll be really easy, that they'll.

[Charlie Kirk]

They. They.

[Blake]

They've shown a pattern of making bad decisions, and maybe the next bad decision they'll make is going out with them. So there's a lot of things that go into it. And I do think you are correct, though, that a lot of the appeal of Sydney Sweeney is, like, we need to analyze this when it's the most straightforward thing in the world. Sydney Sweeney is thin, has good symmetry, has, like, a generally good appearance, has no weird deformations, no weird traits added to her, and she has good natural assets, as it were. And, like, the fact that you even need to explain that at all and is exactly why the left has lost a cultural narrative. So to circle back to that big picture thing, I wanted to bring up the most interesting thing about this is that really, for our entire lives and our youth, the left was associated with, like, youthful beauty. And, like, the stereotypical right winger would maybe be like an old church mom, like, lecturing you about something or this like grumpy old man. And now it's like the left itself is coming out and saying, oh, oh. This image of like an attractive young woman selling jeans, that's a right wing message. A far right message even. Thank you for doing our work for us.

[Charlie Kirk]

I suppose, guys, I. I have to. I'm going to take the. The body mod and then the Sydney Sweeney question. Body mod. I might get in trouble for this. I might get my second Media Matters article for this. But I think that body mod, not always. I think there's some people that are just creative. I mean, it might be kind of the tattoo instinct that they feel like it's a form of creativity. I think a lot of it though is spiritual darkness. I think there is a tendency to modify the natural to take away from God's design when there's spiritual darkness present. I totally believe this. This is why we run into so many of these kids on campuses with the piercings and the green hair. And they're purposefully rebelling against natural order, even in the way they dress. And nothing can be considered traditional or standard fare. Everything has to be different. I personally believe that. Secondly, I think the Sydney Sweeney, to answer your first question, Charlie, why does she appeal? Is because she's like American coded. Like she. Even in this ad, she's driving around in an old Mustang and peeling out. And she doesn't make excuses for her beauty. She's kind of strong. She's an athlete. She's done a bunch of sports, sports. And she's not pandering to sort of this left coded modern weak wokeness. She's doing the exact opposite. It's like a throwback to the 1980s. It's a throwback to like the 1960s and 70s. And everything about it, about it is just to Jack's point, is natural. And it's. She's leaning in as opposed to trying to make excuses for how beautiful she is.

Let's. Joe Bob had something to say. Look, I totally disavowed this video, obviously, but I have to play it anyway. Play cut 533.

[Jack Posobiec]

Hey, you want to go to American Eagle? Oh, I can't go in there because I'm black.

[Charlie Kirk]

You know what? She might be right. I don't think American Eagle accepts ebt.

[Andrew]

That's the one that'll get me in trouble.

[Charlie Kirk]

Disavow.

Yeah, I obviously disavow that.

[Jack Posobiec]

We got. We gotta ask. We'll have to ask Bobby Kennedy about that one. Secretary Kennedy is our American Eagle President's fitness test. They were doing today. No, but I think you look at this and. Duncan, go ahead. Oh, so, I mean, Dunkin Donuts as well. You know, they were kind of Dunkin Donuts also had. And that was a male in this case. But they basically put out an ad where he's like, I'm basically the king of summer. And it's very clear that this is like. It's like, guys, this is the stuff that people were into for years and years and years. You go back to the 90s. Ten years ago, commercials looked like this Gillette. The best a man can get. The best of men.

[Charlie Kirk]

The great awoken.

[Jack Posobiec]

It was that video about the dad and his son. And then, like, the grandfather comes in. This is my dad. And they're passing the razor on down through the generations. Just one of the best ads ever made. This is what ads used to look like. And so when you think about things like that, you think about things like. Like last year, white boy summer was a huge trend that was going around. And it's very clear that this is the way the country is moving. And what I want to be clear is it's. It's not quote unquote, moving far right. It's moving back to the center where everything always was. Yeah, guys like girls who look like Sydney Sweeney. It's as simple as that. We have a clip. MSNBC was talking about this. Let's.

[Charlie Kirk]

Let's.

[Jack Posobiec]

Let's play the Duncan act. I just mentioned it. 529. Look, I didn't ask to be the king of summer. It just kind of happened. This tan genetics. I just got my color analysis back. Guess what? Golden summer, literally.

[Charlie Kirk]

I can't help it.

[Jack Posobiec]

Every time I drink a Duncan Golden Hour refresher, it's like the sun just finds me. So if sipping these refreshers makes me the king of summer, guilty is charged the Golden Hour refresher. Only a Duncan.

[Blake]

Was Chet Hanks.

[Charlie Kirk]

I have no idea who that is.

[Blake]

You don't know who Chet Hanks is?

[Charlie Kirk]

But.

[Andrew]

No, I have no idea.

[Jack Posobiec]

No, no. Who is. Who is that actor or figure?

[Charlie Kirk]

Some pretty boy. I don't know.

Gavin Jeans? Castle Lang? No, Gavin Casalango.

Oh, from the summer I turned pretty. Oh, okay. Gavin. Yeah. That's a whole thing on Amazon. I see it when I go watch the Cubs game. They keep on pushing all this propaganda. Trying to go watch the Cubs game, though somewhere I turned pretty. Go away. It's all this Amazon prime propaganda. Okay. You know, it's another actor that mentions genes and genetics.

[Jack Posobiec]

Anytime.

[Charlie Kirk]

Well, and that's why MSNBC is now complaining that there's this basically inarguable shift to. I think we have the image it was up earlier. Yeah, Sydney Sweeney's ad shows an unbridled cultural shift towards whiteness. Like what a dumb take from this, that, I mean, it's just amazing. And I actually saw some people on social media saying there's no actual pushback to this. It's all just like paid influencers. There's no, no actual organic and, and.

Yet the, there's the opposite. There's actually support.

I'm just saying, like people were suggesting that there, that the whole pushback to the Sydney Sweeney ad was, was contrived, that it was manufactured, that there wasn't any popular support for it. But I mean, if that's true, I mean there has been so much coverage of this from the left, like they're playing right into our hands if this is, if, if, if this is manufactured. So it doesn't make any sense. I think they're legitimately that deranged that they can't help themselves.

[Blake]

I just, I want to read some quotes from the MSNBC article about the shift towards whiteness because it really is, it's like a. You just take a time capsule back to the gobbledygook they were writing eight years ago. The backlash to the ad has been swift and fierce. And some of it, at least if you ask me, is fair. The Internet has been quick to condemn the advertisement as non inclusive at best and as overtly promoting white supremacy and Nazi propaganda at worst. These critics point to the copy and, and the implication of calling a white person superior because of their genes. In the videos, Sweeney exudes a sort of vintage sexiness that caters to the male gaze. She embodies the near mythological girl next door, beautiful but low maintenance femininity that dominated media in the 1990s and the early 2000s. Together, the campaign feels regressive and not retro, offensive and not cheeky. The advertisement and the choice of Sweeney as the sole face in it and the Internet's reaction reflects an unbridled cultural shift towards whiteness, conservatism and capitalist exploitation. And Sweeney is both symptom and participant. Man, this person would get an A in some incredibly stupid college class in like 2015.

[Charlie Kirk]

In 2025. I mean, this is the, the college cabal is still very much active. I don't think we should ever assume that we've fully like smited these ignoramuses. But like, this is, I mean, yeah, there is a shift towards opening the Culture back up and feeling free to make, you know, provocative statements and ads and comedy and all this stuff. This is all a good thing. But these people, we have not beaten them fully. I think everybody needs to, like, slow their roll and understand just how pervasive this ideology will be.

That is true.

[Jack Posobiec]

Don't make me do it, guys. Don't make me do it. Don't make me do it.

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, just saying.

[Jack Posobiec]

Just saying. We can bring it back. We can bring it back. Sydney Sweeney bringing it back.

[Charlie Kirk]

I'll never forget, Jack. I'll never forget.

[Jack Posobiec]

Many, many were upset at the New York Times when. When that was launched. But you know what it was? What? That's where the.

[Charlie Kirk]

It was msnbc. I mean, it made it to the New York Times.

[Jack Posobiec]

Reed lost her mind. New York Times lost their mind. Everybody lost their mind. And it's like, guys, it's summer. It's just fun. Just. Just have fun. Stop being the way you are for five seconds. And they can't. They just can't. They never will. So it's like, guys, do you want to go over? Have fun.

[Charlie Kirk]

That's a great way to put it.

[Jack Posobiec]

Go.

[Charlie Kirk]

Stop being the way.

[Jack Posobiec]

Hang out with Sydney Sweeney or, you know, and Andrew. I do. You know, Andrew did have to take a lot of phone calls on that one.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah.

So why Platforming a white supremacist? Yeah, well, it's literally.

[Jack Posobiec]

Yeah, it was. It was the original. And now we got Sydney Sweeney out there. So I'll hang out with Sydney Sweeney. I'm good. By the way, Sydney Sweeney was asked once to disavow. I guess she was at, like, some family. Family event up in Spokane, Washington, and there were some people there wearing MAGA hats.

[Charlie Kirk]

Her whole family.

[Jack Posobiec]

I don't even know what it was. Some family event. And she's like, in these Instagram shots with, you know, other people of her family who happen to be wearing MAGA hats. Again, this is like rural Washington state towards the border with Idaho. And she wouldn't disavow. She said, those are members of my family. That's what they wore. And I'm. You know, I'm not going to talk about that. Great. It was great. Sydney, we love.

[Charlie Kirk]

Yeah. She's born and raised in Winger country. It's. Eastern Washington is full of wingers. I mean, that's. That's Deep red. They want to. They want to break away from western Washington. Should we talk about the next one? South Park?

Was there.

[Jack Posobiec]

What. Was there something else this week? Is there some other news regarding.

[Charlie Kirk]

Let's play cut 394.

There we go.

[Andrew]

Wednesday, August 6th.

[Unknown]

You can just shut up, Bebe, because you hate America and you love abortion.

[Andrew]

On an all new South Park. The epic season continues. South park new episode Wednesday, August 6th at 10 on Comedy Central. The next day on Paramount Plus.

[Charlie Kirk]

Jack, explain this to me. Like, I have no idea what's going on.

So hold on. I just want to say that Blake was on vacation for the first three days of the week and, like, so we basically didn't hear from him. I'll let him tell. Tell you if. If he wants what he was doing. But the one time Blake chimes into the chat, when Charlie discovered that he was caricatured on South Park, Blake was very, very excited.

I found it pretty early.

No, people were. I have never in my time working with you, Charlie, been so blown up with congratulatory text. It's like everybody was like, that's amazing. That's the coolest thing ever. And meanwhile, the libs are like, charlie, they're making fun of you. You don't get it. Anyways, why aren't you mad? Yeah, I'm mad that you're not mad.

[Jack Posobiec]

We're supposed to be mocking. You can't enjoy it. And then you made it your profile picture.

[Blake]

Like, you just.

[Jack Posobiec]

You totally. So you. They tried to own you and you actually owned them owning you, and you turned it into something that's even more powerful. And I love the reaction here because of course it's great. This is the great Eric Cartman. This is Cartman, who. And this is Cartman's thing, right? He might be mean, but he's never wrong.

[Andrew]

Right?

[Jack Posobiec]

He's always right. And I love the catchphrase right there. You know, you hate America and you love abortion. It's like you got the holy Bible next to him and so a couple bottles of water. And I'm like, man, if you want to just distill like all of Charlie Kirk down in one sentence.

[Charlie Kirk]

So good.

It was the funniest line. Shut up, baby. Because you hate America. Love abortions. It was like, I love the little details.

[Blake]

Like, we've got. We've got the two water bottles at the table. Like, that's very precise. They got. They got the dark blue T shirt that Charlie's always wearing.

[Charlie Kirk]

Security guys.

[Blake]

Kind of like the security team. Of course. I don't know. I don't know if they're, like, looking for inspiration, but if they are, like, they could.

[Jack Posobiec]

And the hair. The hair.

[Blake]

It's perfect.

[Charlie Kirk]

No, they're missing. They're Missing one thing, Blake. The lozenges. The lozenges. Where are the those? Those are just about as famous.

Or the hats. Or the hats.

[Jack Posobiec]

But also always there.

[Charlie Kirk]

No, look, they have the step and repeat too. They have like the close up logo in the background. You know what I mean? Like the step and repeat. It's pretty good. They capture and the hair is like spot on. Oh, the hair is spot on.

So, Charlie, we have to give you a primer in this. I mean, you haven't watched since you were in high school. You said to Fox News. So let's go ahead and play a smattering of South Park 502.

Oh, boy. I'm.

[Unknown]

What has happened to this place? I don't recognize it anymore. Used to be so fun and special. What is life worth living for? The dream is dead. Our land is gone. There's 15 years ago and I can't go on. There are too many minorities, minority at my water park.

[Charlie Kirk]

My water.

[Unknown]

This was our land, our true dream, our dream. And they taking it all away. They just keep coming and coming. The authorities are minority.

[Charlie Kirk]

Man.

Keep playing these for like, guys.

[Jack Posobiec]

Everyone knows that song.

[Charlie Kirk]

Everyone. I did. I did. So I watch it during the Bush era. So during the Bush era it was really big, right? And so during Bush era, it was really big. And I mean, I just got distracted by, you know, high school starting turning point. But during Bush it was like, it was much watched. As I said, last time I really watched it was during high school. It was like must watch tv. Like every night they would drop. Every night they would drop a new episode. Everyone be talking about the next day. This by way, this is before phones for Twitter. Like, you had to watch it and then you came to school and talked about it. Right. It wasn't like, oh, look at this.

[Blake]

I genuinely would love to know, like, how does that feel? Like a show you watch, like a cartoon show you watched growing up is now. It's lasted long enough to satirize you. You are seeing yourself parodied in.

[Charlie Kirk]

All I can say is that there's. There. There are. There are numerous things that are happening this summer and have yet to happen that I can't quite quite comprehend and that I can't quite grasp. Andrew knows about one that will not be public until it actually happens. That is kind of like a larger than life moment. Yeah, I mean, look, I can throw every cliche out there, but when I first saw it, I just laughed. I was like there. I. I honestly thought because I first saw it in some Twitter account, I Didn't recognize. I was like, this is a hundred percent AI. Like that was my first initial reaction was like, come on, this is somebody that just kind of spent a bunch of money on AI. And then I started other accounts posted. Then I went to the. I was like, wow, this is pretty awesome. And then the second thought I had is campus tours. Me behind a table debating college kids. We are leaving in. We are living in their feeds rent free. So it's, it's, it's, it's a badge of honor. And look, they're going to do their thing. They're going to make fun of me. They're. That's. Okay, fine. That's part of public life. Let's not take ourselves so seriously. Right? That's, that's a, that's a signifier of how far we've come in the impact that we're making. And I think it's. I mean, look, other episode on Trump the other week, I mean people had a lot of mixed reactions or negative reactions. And I'm just going to take it, I'm going to take it all in stride.

I think we should keep playing clips.

Keep playing.

Can I play another one? We good? 503 Cartman joins Border Patrol.

[Andrew]

It carries a 4,000 watt charge and is your best option for enforcing Border patrol law.

[Unknown]

This is gonna be so sweet.

[Andrew]

The baton is non lethal, but powerful. Hey, we got some Mexicans at 2 o'.

[Unknown]

Clock.

[Andrew]

Let's get ready. Recruits. Must be a couple dozen of them. This is the U.S. border Patrol. Stop where you are, turn around and get back to work. There's too many of them. We're gonna need backup. You're pretty good at stopping Mexicans, son. What's your name?

[Unknown]

Cartman. Eric T. Cartman.

[Andrew]

Dedicated.

[Jack Posobiec]

Patriotic.

[Charlie Kirk]

Tireless.

[Jack Posobiec]

These are the men and women of.

[Andrew]

The U.S. border Patrol. They work around the clock protecting America's prosperity. They are the front line in making sure Mexicans stay here and work. The Border patrol is uncompromising, diligent and keen. They will defend, arrest, and most importantly, let the Mexicans know that they are way better off here in the United States.

[Charlie Kirk]

So.

[Blake]

So it was the, was the joke in that episode.

[Charlie Kirk]

It was keeping them here. That was weird. They were keeping them here to make.

Is that like when the Border patrol didn't. Is that when they didn't do their job under Biden? I don't know. I didn't quite understand that. So first part I got that was under Biden. Oh, was that this season? I don't, I don't quite get that.

I don't think so.

It was not. It was a previous season. My. I thought I had. It's old.

[Blake]

About 15 years ago, they did a similar parody. Like when Glenn Beck was at the peak of his popularity. They did like, a Glenn Beck parody. And what I remember about it is they really, like, they nailed a lot of good details on it. Like, you know, the whiteboard Glenn would have where he would, you know, kind of tie concepts together. They had that and they nailed the look of the set. So I thought I'd maybe ask Charlie, like, if they could make sure Eric uses. Eric Cartman uses, like, one line that you like to use or has like one kind of tick of your. Like, what would you want them to have in it?

[Charlie Kirk]

Probably what is. Probably what is a woman is a pretty famous one. Or would you like a hat? That line has been pretty. It's gone pretty viral or. So who you voting for? But no, look, there's. There's so many. I would have to think about it. One of the ones that went super viral is liberals are all rage and no wisdom. And so. But I look forward to just kind of all the little small details. And honestly, with, like, the security behind me, it's just. It goes to show, though, and I mean, that's needless to say that what we have done has really has permeated the culture, I think more so than we even realize at times. Right. As the actual. I mean, we know it's big. I know it's broad. We know it's impactful.

But I will.

This is.

I will.

This is a whole.

Join you in that, Charlie. I have. You can just sit there and just not say anything if you want. But, I mean, I have been blown away personally, because I've walked with you in public places and I'll be. And I have taken you to a couple places where I thought would be. You'd be protected and kind of nondescript or whatever. And it's like selfie after selfie after selfie after selfie. And I mean, you could be in midtown Manhattan and you're getting stopped all the time for selfies. Like people that love you.

Negative and positive, might I add, in mid.

Yeah.

In midtown Manhattan, I'm sure.

But I'm telling you, I've taken you to very blue places, and you get stopped a lot and a lot by young, young people, like, specifically in that, like, 15 to 25 age. Age range, sometimes younger even. But those are the ones that will stop you. And it. And for me, it's constantly A reminder, like, whoa, I. I am. Because I've worked with you for so long. I remember one of my first times working with Charlie, we were at the airport. We were, you know, I forget which airport, but it was, you know, a big airport. And there was one kid that stopped Charlie and gave him a fist bump. One kid. So the whole time we were walking, there was one kid stopped. You didn't say anything, gave you a fist bump. And I looked at Charlie, I was like, oh, wow, somebody knows you. This is pretty cool. And to go from there to where we're at, where I literally can't take you anywhere anymore is. Is nuts.

[Blake]

My personal favorite play.

[Charlie Kirk]

Five or two Blake. Yeah, Chime in. Blake.

[Blake]

Yeah. My personal favorite is when you were headed back from the uk. We're in airport security at Heathrow Airport and there's these like British high school aged kids. And one of them, I hear him start talking.

[Andrew]

You, you. I think that's Charlie Kirk over there.

[Blake]

I think it's trying to cook. And I was like, oh, man, this has gone global.

[Charlie Kirk]

Oh, I have one of those stories too, actually. And we'll play the clip after this. When we're at the rnc. All these like French girls, they were must have been like 18, 19 years old. There was a whole, like, crew of them. And they were at the RNC doing some sort of like, you know, cultural exchange. And they. All they wanted to do was take a picture with Charlie. And we. And I remember Charlie, you were up on stage doing. We were doing our live, our livestream. And I think you had Byron Donalds and Vivek Ramaswamy on stage with you at the rnc. And you know, Byron gets off and I'm like, hey, do you want a selfie with Byron? They're like, no, it's okay. And then Vivek gets off stage. And I was like, do you want a selfie with Vivek? They're like, no, no, it's okay. I was like, just Charlie. Like, just Charlie. And I go, why Charlie? And they're like, he's red pilling all the French kids. And I was like, oh, listen, it's.

Like, look out, Western Suite. And thank. And thank you for the good words. But it would not be possible without, of course, the Turning Point USA chapter and all the field work. But then also the editing team and the filmers from vi, right, Brian and Terrell. That's tough work. It is literally a team that makes it happen. And so we could go around and compliment each other endlessly, which is Necessary. But I have the easy part. I get to sit there and I get to just yammer on always and ask questions out of a bunch of kids. But honestly, the. Your fake humility has no place for everyone. It's not fake. I know less than your jobs.

I know I did.

It's from the prep from Blake and from Andrew. It's. Everyone plays a huge role. So let's play 5:13. Thank you guys for saying that. It is. It's otherworldly because, you know, the campus stuff always had a little bit of resonance and virality, but it went from like a pocket conservative niche thing, like, okay, got a couple million views to now a household. Not just not just name, but the south park thing, which is what's so interesting. A household concept meaning, like, oh, Charlie at a table debating a kid. It's like that visual has, like, set in similar to, like, who wants to be a millionaire, right? Like, it's like a very. Or like Jeopardy. Or Wheel of fortune. Right? It's something that when you show it, people like, oh, yeah, I know what that is. I've seen it. And what's so important with no major corporate backing? That's what's so crazy. Totally grassroots, right? Not like it was like some major Fortune 100 company that came in was like, oh, let's go make you a celebrity and let's go spend $100 million. Like, nope, had to go raise it. And it's been pretty amazing. Let's play Kai. Cut. 513. So just so I'm clear, guys. So Cartman is playing me, Is that right? So this Cartman character seems to get involved in a lot of different things, it seems. So let's play 5:13.

[Unknown]

Minding our own business. And she keeps saying she's Eric Cartman.

[Andrew]

Okay, and what's wrong with that?

[Unknown]

What's wrong is it doesn't make any sense.

[Andrew]

Okay, I see there's a diverse female.

[Jack Posobiec]

Where Cartman used to be.

[Andrew]

And you don't like that.

[Unknown]

It's not that we don't like it. It's. Don't you think that's weird?

[Andrew]

I don't see a problem with it at all. And if you boys don't think Eric can be a black woman, then maybe the problem is you.

[Unknown]

What? You think it's perfectly normal that Cartman is suddenly a black woman.

[Andrew]

You probably don't like that Indian Jones got replaced by a female either.

[Charlie Kirk]

So good.

All right, one more, one more. Can we do the new Muslim student 504. Let's do it.

[Andrew]

All right, students, let's take our seats. Everyone try to be nice because we have a new student joining us today and I know you all make him feel welcome. Say hello to Bahir Hassan Abdul Hakim.

[Unknown]

Hello.

[Andrew]

Welcome to our class, Bahir.

[Unknown]

Thank you. Dude, do not cure.

[Andrew]

Why don't you take a seat in Kyle's empty desk for now, okay?

[Jack Posobiec]

Hoo hoo hoo hoo.

[Andrew]

Nick. Eric, what the hell is wrong with you?

[Unknown]

What's wrong? Has he been checked for bombs?

[Andrew]

Eric, that's enough. Not all Muslim people are terrorists.

[Unknown]

No, but most of them are. And all it takes is most of them.

[Blake]

All it takes is most of them.

[Charlie Kirk]

Right? I mean, Charlie, you've been.

Is there one more?

We gotta blow takeover of the way.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. I now it all starts to make sense. Why everyone's congratulating me. It's all. It's all coming into focus, the whole thing. Because again, I've been a decade since I've watched the program. We have to wrap here. But is there one more that we would highly recommend Here, let's see. I'm told that 5:20 is good.

5:28, right?

[Unknown]

Dude, where is she? I can't wait. God, this is gonna be so yummy. Stan, you said your mom was bringing Kentucky Fried Chicken home for dinner. Now is she or isn't she? Hi boys. Mom, she's here. She's got Col. I want some. I want a breast up to extra crispy. Right? It's extra crispy. Ah ah ah. Not so fast. You boys can help bring in the other groceries in the car. Then have your. But mom, we've been waiting for hours. It won't take a minute. Come on, guys, if we all help out, we can do it super fast. All right, let's go. Oh my God, that smells good. Okay, this is everything.

[Charlie Kirk]

Mom.

[Unknown]

Alright, let's eat. Colonel. Oh boy. Cartman, you ate the skin off of every piece of chicken. Well, I saved you all the chicken part. The skin's the best part. Well, I gotta go home, guys. I'm gonna sit on the toilet and read comic books. See you at the bus stop tomorrow.

[Charlie Kirk]

I don't quite get that one. Let's play 528. We'll wrap with 528.

[Andrew]

Hey, what's going on? Is your girlfriend home?

[Jack Posobiec]

Uh, she's sorta busy right now, Ms. Swanson.

[Andrew]

Just wanna tell her no hard feelings about me winning the Strong Woman competition.

[Jack Posobiec]

Yeah, you.

[Andrew]

You already told her that at the competition. You got a problem with me? Cause it's starting to seem like you have a problem with me.

[Unknown]

What's going on? Oh, hi, Heather.

[Andrew]

I was just stopping by to make sure you're not too beat up.

[Unknown]

Oh, that's really cool. I'm sorry, but I have all the kids right now, and they're.

[Andrew]

Well, where are the little kiddos? I'd love to meet him. Ho, ho. Hey, kids. Well, there's a lot of you. Your mom must be a strong woman to take care of all of you. Of course. I have the strong woman trophy, though. Just kidding, right? Look, why don't you just get out of here? Ooh, sounds like someone here is a transphobe. Don't you dare. I'm trans people's biggest supporter. What I think you are is a terrible sport. Transphobe. You better knock it off.

[Unknown]

Just don't. You're gonna upset the PC babies.

[Andrew]

And if you dare call me a transphobe again, I'm gonna. You're gonna what? Beat me up? You're gonna beat me up, transphobe? Yeah, I didn't think so. See you later, kids. Come on over and see old Auntie Heather if you want to see what a real strong woman is like.

[Charlie Kirk]

And with that, we say, keep committing thought crimes. Next week will not be boring. Make sure you guys tune in. God bless. Talk to you soon.
