Go to noblegoldinvestments.com okay, everybody. It is thought crime Thursday. We have Blake, we have Tyler, we have Jack, and we all have Saratoga water and bananas. I am proud because I'm actually the one that finally sent a topic to Thought Crime that was a little bit like a pop culture thing.
Blake
You were finally. You were finally hip and with it.
Charlie Kirk
I was finally hip and with it, and it's. It's a great. It is such an outrageous viral video. It's worth. There should be entire PhD classes taught on this.
Blake
What I love is how just the X version, where it did not originate, has more like 10 times more views than, like, the most viral Donald Trump post during the election.
Charlie Kirk
Like, it originated on Instagram, right?
Blake
I believe so.
Tyler
Is this better than the Tucker launch?
Blake
Probably. It actually may be. Has there been a tweet that's broken a billion before? Because this. This one might end up breaking a billion.
Charlie Kirk
So Jack doesn't even know about this video unless he's trolling us. But this thing, you haven't id'd it.
Jack
But also, I. I I'm not so.
Charlie Kirk
I'm not really sure it's the Saratoga video, Jack.
Jack
Oh, yeah. I love the Saratoga. Along with my banana. Every single day.
Charlie Kirk
That's what we just were saying. So. And so I. I saw. When I first saw this video, I just. I was, like, hysterically laughing. I had to watch it five or six times because it is the ultimate. It is the ultimate fake influencer where you do absolutely nothing for four or five hours. Nothing.
Tyler
I think. I think what was, like, really struck me with this is we've seen so many female versions of this. Like, you see all the female version, but this is, like, the first real, like, male version that went super viral.
Charlie Kirk
This has 750 million views.
Blake
750 million.
Tyler
That's crazy.
Charlie Kirk
And it's so outrageous. He wakes up at, like, 3:53. We'll show the video. He takes off the little tape of his mouth, and he does nothing for four hours.
Blake
You gotta wake up at 3am so that you can, like, do a little bit of exercise and put.
Charlie Kirk
The guy is built like Hercules.
Blake
Yeah.
Charlie Kirk
I mean, he's built, like, unbelievably well. And part of. Part of his, like, routine is just sitting and, like, journaling to himself and journaling on nothing. All right. This video has gone so viral. Let's cut 324. Saratoga water gets me.
Tyler
I love Saratoga water. It's relatable.
Charlie Kirk
Instead of ice in it. I'll do it. You can't get it on any electronics.
Blake
How do we have two for you? I already. I already dumped mine. We're gonna see mine.
Charlie Kirk
Preaching about the arrival of Christ.
Tyler
Thank you.
Charlie Kirk
So on podcasting, someone narrate this as this is happening.
Blake
Oh, So I mean, he's going through his morning routine, which includes dunking his face in water. He, like, goes. And is this where he's gonna go swimming? So he does, like, three separate workouts in a highly inefficient way.
Charlie Kirk
My favorite is how long. Like, the time before he dives in, and then by the time he hits the water.
Blake
Yeah, the time is updating. Yeah, it's like four minutes in the air as he dives into the pool. He's doing all of his life.
Tyler
I thought it was weird. While he was putting on his short, someone was standing there handing him his towel.
Blake
He's very.
Charlie Kirk
Who's filming this whole. The whole thing is, like, all very.
Blake
The number of times where he has to set up his camera to, like, catch this. He's doing his calisthenics. He's got to take his Shirt off. That he was laboriously putting on.
Charlie Kirk
He goes doing wind sprints in, like an empty parking lot.
Blake
Yeah, he goes in sprints outside, which.
Charlie Kirk
Before that, by the way, more Saratoga water.
Tyler
The only way someone acts like this and does this is in la. There's only one place.
Blake
And then showers after all of us.
Charlie Kirk
Another banana.
Blake
More bananas.
Charlie Kirk
Puts it on his skin.
Blake
Yeah.
Charlie Kirk
Thank you.
Tyler
No.
Charlie Kirk
Someone served.
Tyler
Chef. No, a chef made it.
Blake
So is this guy like a celebrity otherwise?
Charlie Kirk
Oh, yeah, no, he's like an. He's like a professional influencer.
Tyler
You've made your first 10,000. Congratulations. We got to do at least 20, bro.
Charlie Kirk
He's like a self help coach.
Tyler
Oh, yeah.
Charlie Kirk
All right. I gotta dunk my head in some cold water.
Blake
Yeah, that's how you prove that you're worthy.
Tyler
Did you squirt in the lemons, right?
Charlie Kirk
No, we have to squirt in the lemons. He.
Tyler
He squirted in the lemons.
Charlie Kirk
I think.
Tyler
If I'm not mistaken, I did it wrong.
Blake
Now you'll never be a top.
Charlie Kirk
Why did I do it wrong?
Blake
You'll never do a top. Be a top tier influencer. Now, you also have to pour in some of the Saratoga water. Pour in the water so that you can get the transcendent properties of the water from Saratoga Springs. Now you got to mix it with your hands a bit.
Charlie Kirk
No, it's disgusting.
Blake
You got to mix it with your hands. You're not doing it right if you don't. No, no. You got to stick him in.
Charlie Kirk
He really do that?
Blake
Yes, he did.
Charlie Kirk
So you wait. You put your hands in something. It's about to go on your face.
Blake
Yeah, he's defiant. You'll never be a top influencer. Now you will never. You will never make it. Now you look at it wrong.
Charlie Kirk
I look better, right?
Tyler
You.
Blake
You look Magic spell.
Tyler
Like a black influencer from la. Now that's what you look like.
Blake
Now you don't. Now you're just.
Charlie Kirk
Charlie, we're not done.
Jack
You should do your next.
Charlie Kirk
We're not done.
Jack
You should do your next campus thing with. Just show up with tape.
Tyler
You're rubbing a banana on your face. Wait, did he do that?
Charlie Kirk
Yes, he did.
Tyler
He rubbed the banana on his face. I saw the peel.
Blake
What's the point of this?
Charlie Kirk
He rubbed the banana on his face. I think it was the peel.
Tyler
I think it was the peel.
Charlie Kirk
No, I think it was a. It was the actual banana. Could we get an instant replay?
Tyler
We needed.
Blake
We need someone to investigate this.
Jack
I wonder.
Tyler
This is gonna be meme.
Charlie Kirk
No, it's definitely a banana.
Tyler
It was. This is gonna be meme for years.
Blake
Charlie's rubbing banana all over his face.
Charlie Kirk
Is this really what he did? What is. What is the health property of this?
Blake
It's really funny.
Tyler
I think it's something someone I. I think I read where somewhere, like, you eat the peel.
Blake
What?
Charlie Kirk
No. No, you don't eat the peel.
Tyler
No. Someone says that, like, I, I. I vividly arranged that. There's, like.
Jack
It looks like people from all across the political spectrum are d. Is this.
Charlie Kirk
Like, supposed to be. It actually makes my skin. It's actually good, like, lotion.
Tyler
I think that's. Yeah, it's cheap. It's cheap.
Blake
Doesn't taste very good.
Charlie Kirk
I'll tell that this guy one more time. Whoa.
Tyler
I mean, it has to be, like, ice bath type thing, right? Is that supposed to, like, tighten up your face? Oh, no, no. That's what it has. It. Isn't there, like, collagen or whatever in bananas?
Blake
Is that why, like, that stuff they put in coffee?
Tyler
Isn't this a collagen thing?
Charlie Kirk
Collagen is a peptide, but isn't there.
Tyler
Collagen and banana peels?
Charlie Kirk
Collagen is good for your skin.
Tyler
Yeah. So I think that's why this is a big collagen thing.
Blake
So.
Charlie Kirk
So anyway, is this the secret to black skin?
Blake
Maybe that why it don't crack? We'll have to see if you crack. So one of the ways people have responded to this.
Tyler
I've had a banana.
Blake
They've been making videos. People have been making videos of their own daily routines. Like, Michael Knowles did one that was pretty funny.
Charlie Kirk
Michael's was great.
Blake
Yeah, His Michaels was hilarious.
Tyler
I actually laughed out loud.
Blake
But there was a lot of demand. They were saying, you know, Tyler could do one, but he said he was too busy. You could have done one, but you were pretty busy. So instead, they now serve me food. So instead.
Tyler
Yeah, make breakfast.
Blake
They created one. They asked me to create one. So I did a video of my daily routine, which is what I do every single day, of just taking food from other people. It involves me. This is what I do every single day.
Tyler
And it's about what you'd expect.
Blake
Super accurate. Let's play clip 330.
Charlie Kirk
There's no. There's no audio.
Blake
Yeah, I mean, there's not. They took out the audio.
Tyler
There wasn't any audio. It was just him being quiet, quietly doing it.
Jack
Is this, like, some homeless guy who. What is this?
Charlie Kirk
You have to narrate it, Blake.
Blake
This is daily making, okay? Like, I have to make my boba tea every single morning.
Charlie Kirk
You don't get up and then you don't get up.
Jack
I call it boba.
Tyler
Yeah.
Blake
No, I don't. And then I walk. I have to go at maximum intensity on every single exercise machine while in my full dress without changing.
Charlie Kirk
Is that. Is that the gym at your place?
Blake
Yes.
Charlie Kirk
I don't know. You guys had a gym there.
Blake
Yeah, it's not a very good one. And then I stand on the balcony aimlessly and I stare at our lovely Turning Point campus for a bit. And then I dunk my face in ice cold water which is properly stirred with my hands as ordained by the video.
Charlie Kirk
That's true.
Blake
And then I read my book about Ming China. Then I go to Quick Trip to get the largest possible soda size because I need to have as much diet soda as possible. Then I go and I bench my good bench press.
Tyler
This isn't the Turning Point Gym.
Blake
So this is the Turning Point Gym. You have to have two workouts a day. Two days they call them. And you have a diet Dr. Pepper that I pilfer from Turning Point Action. Then I go and I update our every single one of our of our tweet tweet followers. I nap on the couch face down the proper way. Then I go on and get more sodas from Turning Point. And then I have to take the tape off of my face that I have been wearing.
Charlie Kirk
This is hilarious.
Blake
And I think we have sound in this upcoming Emperor Charles V. His idea was, I have to lecture everyone. You know, mystery of Japan into all of these fields.
Charlie Kirk
Feudal feasts.
Jack
And they were helped by dying.
Blake
So what General Lee thought was that if he could capture their position on Cemetery.
Tyler
This is actually what Blake does, though.
Charlie Kirk
This is very real.
Tyler
No, this is actually over at the Turning Point office. This is what Blake does. He comes over and I can just hear him talking endlessly.
Blake
It's great.
Tyler
Wait, where was the point. Where was the part where you bookmark Koran stuff?
Blake
I have to do that at home.
Tyler
Oh, you know, that wasn't part of your day.
Blake
And also, I mean, it wasn't seen. You couldn't see what I was doing. My computer, but I was probably looking at it.
Charlie Kirk
My skin feels great.
Tyler
It actually would have been funny if you put in there that you turn on Netflix.
Blake
Oh, that's not possible. I do not subscribe.
Charlie Kirk
Turned on your Hulu account?
Blake
No Hulu account. No. No subscriptions to anything. And if you don't subscribe to anything, you can accomplish anything.
Charlie Kirk
The. There is something about like this window into the morning routine of the hype. But that, that video especially, and yours is hilarious, Blake, is, is so outrageous. Which is one of the reasons why it went viral. I mean, the guy, the guy literally does nothing for the entire day.
Blake
So apparently rubbing banana peels on your face offers benefits like reducing wrinkles, brightening skin, soothing skin conditions due to their antioxidants and vitamins. But this is just due to the AI robots telling us things. So they could have hallucinated that.
Charlie Kirk

Jack
Well, I already finished it on my way in, so, you know, apologies to that as I do every morning and then I, I limit myself. I actually don't eat or drink anything until the next morning when I have my further daily Saratoga water and banana. You know, I think what's interesting is, is the morning routine has been kind of a meme, especially in sort of like the TikTok community because of like the Sigma edits. And it all goes back. It's a 25 year old meme that goes back to the very first and only American Psycho video movie when it came out, the Brett Easton Ellis book that got turned into the movie with Patrick Bateman. And there's just something about that, the morning routine scene there, which of course, you know, Patrick Bateman is also a serial killer, which I think that a lot of The Sigma edits kind of miss out on this, even though this. This guy, I'm sure, is something of a wannabe serial killer here. So I do think, though, that. I don't know if you guys want to go around the horn, but I'm. I'm a morning guy. I love getting up early in the morning. It's something I've always enjoyed. It's something I really love. It's almost like a superpower if you get up sort of before everybody else. So the. I actually enjoy getting up as early as possible, as crazy as it sounds, and I think it's great. So I know I had to all the, you know, the mypillow tweets and everything, but turns out I actually love getting up early and I think it's awesome. I think having my. My morning routine, though, is. And I've been this way since, you know, since a kid going to Catholic school is just. I. I lay out everything I need for the morning so that when I wake up, it's just right there and I'm like, boom, boom, boom, boom. And I can be off and onto my day.
Charlie Kirk
I get up as early as I have to. I am a big sleep person. I'm a believer that sleep is actually the hidden ingredient to memory and mental acuity. If I had to choose, I would much rather stay up late than get up early. I am much sharper than later the night goes on than in the morning.
Blake
Yeah, a true problem. Since I've worked as a writer in various capacities, one thing that annoys me a bit is I definitely write the best and most efficiently very late at night. Oh, absolutely. It actually is. It's somewhat problematic because I'll often literally be best like, after midnight. And so what I'll get is sometimes I'll just get into a hum and I'm like, okay, I'm riding this until I can't go anymore because I'm going really well. And it'll go till 3am and I still have to get up at, you know, 7, 7:30, something like that. And so I'll not get a lot of sleep that night. We'll be totally, like, blown to pieces the next day. And then I, like, can repeat this a few times and then the whole thing spirals out of control. I have to go to bed at, you know, 8:00pm to reset everything and then reset the machine and back at it.
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. And Jack, you should actually take it as a blessing that you are a morning person. I just. I have to get up somewhat early for the show. It's, I can do it, but I have to be in bed by like 9:30, 10:00pm I have to. And by the way, put up this on, put 331 up on screen. This picture is literally six or seven years old. Andrew says I age well and it's not because of banana peels, it's because I get a lot of sleep. I prioritize sleep. I always have. Also no alcohol helps with aging. But. So Jack, if you had to choose though, if you had your druthers 6am Wake up call or like 5:30 or be able to stay up to 1am which would you choose? Which where are you in a more flow state?
Jack
Honestly this has been, you know, and I know they say this about other people as well. I kind of do both. I honestly kind of do both. And I know it's not, you know, what's recommended or whatever, but I tend to be up pretty late and I get up early and I just love it. I love everything about it and, and I don't think that works for everybody. Obviously it's not for everyone but I've, I've always enjoyed that. Um, I usually run about four to six hours of sleep every night and that's about it. Unless I'm like, unless I'm like lifting a lot or something. And then I tend to sleep more but otherwise about 4 to 6 hours.
Charlie Kirk
I do not actually function well on 4 to 6 hours. I'm more of like a 8 to 10 hour guy. I always have been. But everyone's wired differently.
Blake
What's really depressing is when you read like the biography of transcendent historical figures and you'll just get to the point. It's like they had the talent to just function perfectly well on three or four hours of sleep. Napoleon is like that. If you read a Napoleon biography, he's awake at 2am in the morning and it didn't matter because he could get by on three and a half hours of sleep with no lost effectiveness. And then so the number of people who brag that they can get by on three hours of sleep is a lot higher than the number of people who truly can. It's very rare to actually be able to go three and a half, four hours of sleep for years on end. And that's the amount you actually need. There's a lot of people where they do that. And the truth is is if you do that for years on end, you just, you fry your brain.
Charlie Kirk
And you do fry your brain. And also I think there's actually an overrated quality of, like, fake tough guy. I get three hours of sleep, and they don't do anything with the other 21 hours. They're kind of doing this with this moron. This guy's doing on this kind of, you know, putting banana peels on his face.
Blake
It's an infamous thing. Famously, you know, the Japanese work very long hours, but this is a facet of Japanese work culture. They're in the office all of the time, and they can't escape, and it's highly inefficient, but they just have to be there all of the time, and then they don't sleep enough. And this is why, you know, they.
Jack
Have nap time in China.
Blake
China. I'm not sure about China. I know Japan is like this. They. Korea's probably like this. There's a lot of things, like, you'll have an office activity, and it's just. You go to a bar, and everyone has to get extremely performatively drunk, and they're all completely miserable and don't want to be there, but you cannot leave because it will shame family if you. Well, I was gonna say when I. Shame and dismiss.
Jack
When I worked in China, so they would have, like, a nap time, and you would get to the office at, you know, normal time, 8:00am, 9:00am and then there'd be a lunch hour. And then typically. And I would see this with my Chinese colleagues that they would. I was, like, one of two white guys, you know, European, whatever, Americans who worked in the office. And so we'd get in, and then I'd go for lunch. I'd, like, take a walk around the park or go to, like, practice Mandarin, whatever. And then I'd come back, and I was like. It was like a scene. I wanted some horror movie or something, because everyone's. Everyone's in the office with their heads down on their desks, and I'm like, wait, what's going on? Someone, you know, somebody drugged everyone in the office. What happened? And apparently, that's just what they do. They just have nap time right there at the office, and they'll, like, have a little pillow or something, and that's what they do, and that's considered normal.
Charlie Kirk
I. I think time management is a lesser appreciated superpower of the elite.
Blake
Yeah.
Charlie Kirk
Blake, would you agree?
Blake
Yeah. Yeah. Generally, it's like you say with the whole, like, you know, memes, you know, the kind of concept of people just, like, grinding super hard. And if, again, if you really dig into the life habits of people who have been highly effective, one thing actually is just Consistency A famous one I remember reading is Immanuel Kant one of the most important.
Charlie Kirk
The categorical imperative.
Blake
Yeah. You know he wrote very important philosophy texts and his every single day he's clearly you know, probably some type of autist where you know, wakes up, does the same thing every day, goes on his like two hour constitutional walk. But the actual time he spends writing.
Charlie Kirk
The critique of Pure Reason the actual.
Blake
Time he spends writing is basically. I think it was like four hours a day and I think Stephen King is like that too. Stephen King in Bangor, Maine? Yeah, he's written an insane number of novels but. And he writes a lot but he's not writing 16 hours a day. It's that he's able to write like five to six hours a day and he does it every day and he hits his page count every day. And if you're able to write five prolifics. If you can write five but if you can write five pages a day every single day, you're able to write like two novels a year.
Charlie Kirk
I mean I think I just looked up how many books is Stephen King written? I think it's well over. It's 65 that's published. That's unbelievable.
Tyler
That's published.
Charlie Kirk
He's probably written at over 90 publications actually. I mean that's just. That's a huge.
Blake
Again if you're able to write four to five pages a day on average that comes out to over you know, several thousand pages a year and ta da. You're a guy who can write several novels, short stories, essays, all of that just workman like several pages a day.
Tyler
I was a big four hour a night person so for a long time but now I get more sleep but I go to, I go to bed earlier but we. I'm a late night person too.
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, I'm wired but the show makes me have to get up earlier and then it's fine. I mean you kind of re recalibrate.
Blake
Is your master plan to like eventually like have a late night show.
Charlie Kirk
I. I joked around with Andrew that I mean the thing is when you have kids it actually is really really hard. It's actually better to have a morning show. It's like way better. The dream would be like 3 to 6 Arizona time or 6 to 9 Eastern like right in prime time. It would be. I mean I actually think better as the night goes on I'm more clear. So the mornings I have to kind of dig it out.
Tyler
Yeah, it was, it was just the full day of news too.
Blake
So you get everything.
Charlie Kirk
Totally.
Blake
Yeah, exactly. I Mean, when I worked with Tucker, the show was on for a while. It was nine. Yeah. It was 80s. For a while it was nine to 10.
Charlie Kirk
That's rough.
Blake
That was very late. And then shapes your whole day as a result.
Charlie Kirk
You have to get back in the office at 9am the next morning.
Blake
No, no, no. We would come in. In the afternoon. Yeah, I would figure generally. So. But it did make it very funny because I kind of. I definitely had the mental attitude of like, you do work and then you do your stuff after work when work is over. So I would get up absurdly late, go do the show, get back, and then stay up till like 2:30am every.
Charlie Kirk
Single day just screws. It screws up your entire system. And then if you have doctor's appointments or stuff, it just like, forget it. It just, it just becomes a mess.
Tyler
Going back to the no daylight savings time issue, it is problematic for late night people like us on the west coast because that's the re. So that's the reason why I was always up early or like four hours, because I would stay up super late.
Charlie Kirk
Yep.
Tyler
I would do all my turning point presentations. Everything else. Trainings. Everything else. And then you'd have to wake up. You basically have to wake up by like 5:30. Yeah, like 6 or 7. Because everybody's already like doing stuff on the East Coast.
Blake
A really fun one was when I was at the Daily Caller. I would sometimes step turbo late. And if you stay up late enough, you get the late night news. That is actually tomorrow morning news.
Charlie Kirk
That's right.
Blake
So you just write that up and you're ahead of the curve on all of that.
Tyler
Oh, I was always in the middle of like the, the next morning news. Like I've always been that, you know.
Blake
Yeah. But it's more intense when you're doing this on the east coast itself. I was not in Arizona for that.
Tyler
Yeah, that's true.
Charlie Kirk
All right, anything else on morning routines?
Blake
We should, we should have people send us morning routines. If we get any funny ones, we could read it on.
Tyler
So question is breakfast or no breakfast? Debate, though.
Charlie Kirk
I'm a no breakfast person.
Tyler
I'm a no breakfast person.
Blake
No breakfast. I think the evidence has come in. People are fat, eat less. The best, best way to cut it out is to not eat breakfast. Correct.
Charlie Kirk
If you can extend your fasting window, you're. You're in a great spot.
Tyler
Eat the most in the middle of the day.
Charlie Kirk
That's right.
Tyler
Yeah.
Charlie Kirk
And then taper down on both ends and you actually sleep better because you're not digesting food.
Tyler
I just think it's such a waste of time. Think I wake up as late as I possibly can to survive. Like it seems just like such a waste of time to make breakfast. You already have to make breakfast for kids when you have kids.
Charlie Kirk
That's right.
Tyler
And it's like, that's a lot.
Charlie Kirk

Yeah, we got into this. So I mean you guys can make the pitch to me what you think is going on here. Cuz I think my take is not very surprising.
Charlie Kirk
But this has been. This has been setting the Internet ablaze. Apparently there is an entire city underneath the pyramids. Is that right?
Blake
That's not right.
Tyler
It's not. It's not a city that the. The experts are speculating that it's a. It's a power grid.
Blake
Oh, a power grid. Okay.
Tyler
It is.
Blake
It is. Okay.
Tyler
It's the only thing that makes sense.
Blake
The only thing that makes sense.
Tyler
It's the only thing that makes sense. I've watched at least said for a long time.
Jack
Videos are some kind of like. Like power generator.
Tyler
Yeah. There's a guy who wrote a book about this.
Blake
I'm sure they've written books about it.
Jack
We love Graham Hancock.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jack
And very programmed.
Blake
Yeah. So. So contextually it's that this news story is. It's. I think it's their Italian. It's like academ Italy, I believe. And they claim. I really cannot put enough quotation marks around the word claim that they've found using ground penetrating Radar. That there is some sort of tunnel or shaft. Shaft extending beneath the pyramids. Thousands of feet, they believe, a mile or more.
Tyler
I think it's like 150 stories.
Blake
And, like, they're atop these pillars and they just go down. And then they wildly speculate that they may lead to a lost ancient city.
Tyler
So that's what Charlie's talking about. And there might be a city underneath the power grid, obviously.
Blake
And I mean, that's.
Charlie Kirk
I am curious. So, Blake, let's broaden this.
Jack
What was their morning routine?
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, what were the Egyptians morning routine? So, the construction of the pyramids.
Blake
Mm.
Charlie Kirk
Do you think there was any, like, alien phenomenology behind the construction of any of these ancient structures?
Blake
Nah.
Charlie Kirk
Do you think there's anything to the idea of how the pyramids are configured with, like, the gravitational, like, the sun's orbit? No.
Blake
You think it's all just mild astronomy stuff. I'll never.
Charlie Kirk
You think it's like a. It's like a happy accident, all the astronomical.
Blake
I will never forget watching the History Channel once when it was converting to becoming the, you know, the Aliens Channel.
Charlie Kirk
Correct.
Blake
And they had a program on the pyramids. And in passing, as evidence of the pyramid's mystical nature, they ponderously said, the pyramids of Giza lie at the exact intersection point where America, where the world's longest lines of longitude and latitude intersect. One, every single line of longitude is the exact same length because they all go from the North Pole to the South Pole. Two, the longest line of latitude is the equator. The pyramids are not on the equator. And they just threw this in. Like, someone had to edit together this documentary, which was then aired on cable television, just saying this extremely dumb thing. And the truth is, people want to believe weird stuff. There's always people looking to tell you weird stuff. It's very funny if you read old sci fi stuff, because there are alternative versions of this. I was just reading an essay in a online magazine in the 40s. The big fad was that, like, lost Lemuria. It was like Atlantis and Lemuria, and the people from there would, like, abduct humans and take them to their underground lair. And once they published this, which was just some rant by, like, a mentally ill guy who had lived in an asylum, they started getting all these letters from people saying, like, yeah, I. I have memories of getting abducted by the ancient Lemurians, too. This. This is crazy. And it's. There was Amazing Tales was this big sci fi magazine, and it just got taken over by the hunt for the Lemurians for about five years and it made their sales go through the roof, which is why they did it. And it's the same thing with Egypt. Like people like pyramids. They're big, they're impressive, they're kind of strange. They, you know, it's pretty baffling to have this extremely huge, extremely old structure. So people have always been coming up with strange theories about them, but to say the least, no, there is not a gigantic underground city beneath the pyramids. I'm willing to bet money that five years from now we will not have found a vast underground city beneath the pyramids. You might find an underground chamber or something. Like they have found stuff buried alongside the pyramids. I think my favorite that people don't know about is they built a giant boat for the pharaoh to use in the afterlife and they dug it up and they reassembled the whole boat. And it's like, it's like a big old boat.
Charlie Kirk
So you think all the alignment is either just happy accident because they have like Orion's belt alignment, the solar equinox alignment.
Blake
Yeah, all that's usually just woo, woo.
Charlie Kirk
What do you. But it's, it's real. So is it just. They just happen to put the pyramids there?
Blake
Well, they have astronomy in ancient times, so they could conceivably be like, oh, we'll have the point of this pyramid lineup with the star. I don't know them off the top of my head, but no, there's nothing that would indicate they had, you know, ancient telescopes or aliens telling them to point.
Charlie Kirk
I'm not saying there is. There's keep in mind, phenomenal, after, you.
Blake
Know, 5,000 years, the pyramid, like the stars actually move, they shift where they are over 5,000 years.
Charlie Kirk
There's something, and I'm drawing from memory here, but if you take, if you, if you add up the coordinates of the pyramids, it has some sort of a, is some sort of a alignment with the actual circumference of the Earth.
Blake
That is true.
Charlie Kirk
That is, you've heard about this one. This one is a real thing.
Blake
I've heard about this one.
Charlie Kirk
I'm drawing from memory.
Blake
I believe it's that the latitude. I'm looking at this, the latitude of the great pyramid is extremely close to the speed of light.
Charlie Kirk
Yes.
Blake
But the problem there is, while that is a very wacky coincidence.
Charlie Kirk
Do you really think that I'm asking, is that just a coincidence?
Blake
Did they have lines of latitude with coordinates in ancient Egypt?
Tyler
No, that's the point.
Charlie Kirk
That's the whole point.
Blake
Yes. So we're alleging like time travel?
Charlie Kirk
Not alleging, no, we're asking. We're in pursuit of. Explain.
Tyler
There's a whole alien aspect of this that people always throw in with that. That's where the. I think that's what the insinuation is by a lot of the people.
Blake
Yeah, aliens, I guess.
Charlie Kirk
But what do you have to say about, for example, some of the Mayan temples and Aztec temples that we didn't have the technology, cut the rock the way that it was? I mean, we're talking about perfect cuts of a hundred foot stone. How would that even be?
Blake
Apparently they did have the technology.
Charlie Kirk
Tell me how.
Blake
I don't know how to quarry rock, but quarrying rock is a pretty ancient. This is like, this is why Blake's. The Romans did it.
Tyler
This is why Blake's position is so problematic, is because if there's a thousand feet of tubes underneath the pyramid, he can't actually just, just, you know, write it off.
Blake
You know, I will, I will say if there are, if there are 2,000, if there's a 2,000 foot shaft with pillars and a power grid underneath the pyramids, I will be extremely excited because it will mean our knowledge of the world is totally thrown out and we have to reassess everything. But I think that's the appeal of it for a lot of people. And I'll just say, like a lot of people who fixate on this have fixated on every other thing that ever came up and went absolutely nowhere. So if anyone wants to bet even.
Charlie Kirk
Odds that we're not betting, I just. There's. There is some there in ancient civilizations. Some of these structures defy some of our logic of what we knew existed at the time.
Blake
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Charlie Kirk
And so we have to ask how did they build them?
Blake
For sure, like some of them are very interesting. Gobleki Tepe, I think is the name of it, is this ancient structure in I think modern day Turkey and it's like 10,000 years old. And so it's way older than we thought. Like this is well into Neolithic period. And so you're thinking, okay, was this an actual city? Was this a site that like hunter gatherers would use? Is agriculture a bit older than we thought? Because the thinking is this basically predates agriculture, which our normal theory is you start getting cities when you have organized agriculture. That's pretty interesting. But notably it's like, okay, we have this kind of wacky thing, like a small structure. It's not on par with like a giant super city. I think the Great pyramids are pretty interesting as is without needing a giant city underneath.
Charlie Kirk
I'm not even saying that the city thing. I'm agnostic on how did they cut the stone to make the pyramid?
Blake
I don't know off the top of my head. One crazy thing is I know from.
Tyler
How far away the stone was. Quarries were hundreds of miles away. Yeah.
Blake
There's a lot of debate over how they were able to drag it. I know one of the crazier theories. I don't know that many people believe this, but I think it is in theory possible. One guy thinks that they can actually basically like cast rock. Like they could basically do like a limestone cast for a lot of the stones that they used. And so you could have basically build it in place. And I think he did technically prove it was possible. And they mostly say that is unlikely because we have no evidence that the Egyptians knew how to do this or ever thought it was possible. But that would be a very funny way that they could have done it. But I think the most common thesis is. Yeah, they. In fact, when you. In ancient Egypt, you basically had a slave state where everyone was owned by the pharaoh and you did nothing but grow food, which was easy because the Nile floods every single year. And so you, for a third of the year you plant, for a third of the year, you harvest, and for a third of the year you go to church. And the way you go to church is you drag giant rocks to build them in a giant pile to honor the God King.
Charlie Kirk
Do you think so? Let me. I'm ask you another one.
Blake
Sure.
Charlie Kirk
Easter Island.
Blake
What about it? The heads.
Charlie Kirk
Who built them and how'd they get there?
Blake
I believe the natives of Easter island did it. And they did. They got so wacky about it, they deforested their island and caused a collapse of their civilization.
Charlie Kirk
Okay, so just to be clear, these like podunk backward island people.
Blake
Yeah.
Charlie Kirk
Built like 50 foot, beautifully sculpted. With what technology?
Blake
I mean, they don't look that they're huge. They're huge. But then they. Yeah, they did deforest their island until they like, collapsed their civilization. Do not, do not impun you to. Do not impugn like the, the complexity of the Polynesians, though, because they're. They're crazy impressive.
Charlie Kirk
They're not quite. Polynesia.
Blake
It's Polynesian.
Charlie Kirk
South America.
Blake
No, Polynesian is. So you have Melanesians, you have Micronesians, and then you have Polynesians. And Polynesians are Tonga, Hawaii. Easter Island. Easter island is like the far edge.
Charlie Kirk
Of where they Are Easter island is part of Chile.
Blake
It is, but it's Polynesians who settled it.
Jack
Well, that's the. That's the hypothesis. The Southern. Southern route hypothesis.
Blake
Yeah. There are alternative theories.
Jack
There's a hypothesis that South America settled. The Pacific islands had people who settled before North America.
Charlie Kirk
Do you think the Easter island one is really bizarre?
Blake
Yeah. I mean, if you read about Polynesians, what's really crazy? For example, think about this. If you only live on islands like this and you've never seen, like, a large amount of land, they have. They had no concept of north and south, for example, north, south, east, west, because why would they. Their concept of directions was ocean word or inward, like towards the island. And like, that was their orientation for directions. And think about how crazy that would make your, like, headspace for. For locations.
Charlie Kirk
The. There is a Christian potential interpretation. I have a great book I want you to read, which is. It's called When Giants Roam the Earth.
Blake
Oh, boy.
Charlie Kirk
It's a phenomenal book which shows all how giants used to be super populated. You'll laugh. And there's tons of photos and, like, archaeological evidence. And it would be the Nephilim.
Blake
So the Nephilim built Easter Island.
Charlie Kirk
I'm not saying they did, but there is a strange, you have to admit, a pattern of different civilizations that didn't know each other, of statues that look eerily similar, of structures that are at least a little bit above our comprehension. I mean, Machu Picchu, the Aztec, the Teotecan or whatever they call. It's not as if it's impossible, but it's definitely, like, verging on. Okay. These people would, like, barely figured out how to grow corn.
Blake
Corn is a demon, though. So I gave them. Gave them eldritch powers.
Charlie Kirk
But there is a. There is a symmetry to these ancient civilizations. And then what do they all have in common? They all go like, poof. They build these insane things and they all.
Blake
Now you want me to blow your mind? What if that's our civilization? We built some insane things, Charlie. And are we.
Charlie Kirk
I could make an argument, though, that making the pyramids without electricity is, like, way more impressive than building the Empire State Building.
Blake
It might be. It actually is.
Charlie Kirk
You know, I'm saying, like.
Blake
No, it is. Whatever it is. Any theory of, like, how they built the pyramids is going to be insanely impressive because if you just take the number of stones, like they've calculated that are in the Great Pyramid, they have to slot one of those rocks, every one of which is like 100 tons or whatever. In place basically every 11 minutes non stop for like 20 years to get it finished.
Charlie Kirk
So the one that you mentioned really quick is the Goeki Tepe. Right. I was just diving into some of this. The statues there are eerily similar to that on Easter Island. You could roll your eyes all you.
Blake
Want at that point.
Charlie Kirk
Okay, fine.
Blake
I mean people are getting, they want to find connections. They'll be like, how did the Mayans and the Egyptians both build pyramids?
Charlie Kirk
Well, no, that's how I kind of.
Blake
Think like a pyramid is a kind of natural shape to build something in. Goes towards a point that goes up to the sky.
Charlie Kirk
There is an architectural and structural breakthrough that all of these civilizations happen to simultaneously figure out. But not simultaneously within a couple thousand year window.
Blake
Well, yeah.
Charlie Kirk
And then all of a sudden, poof, no one builds this stuff anymore.
Tyler
And they're everywhere. They're all over the world.
Blake
We have one in Vegas.
Tyler
They're all over the world.
Blake
We have one in Memphis.
Tyler
That's a reproduction.
Charlie Kirk
We had to like, we had to basically like start.
Tyler
That's a reproduction. And it didn't have a thousand or a hundred stories of energy producing technology underneath it.
Blake
That's true.
Charlie Kirk

So Jack, where are you at on the nephilim?
Jack
Jack, I think it's very interesting. I, I did a whole thing in when we went to Israel in 2022. We're driving around The Holy Land. We did a whole, like, special podcast on all of this and how there's various theories about the Nephilim and pre flood cultures and that one of the ones that I really like is that various, various kings and tribes throughout the Old Testament were actually like, like remnants of the Nephilim and that God actually sent the flood to wipe out the net, the like, main portion of the Nephilim and that. So Goliath, you know, the one that everybody knows, it was actually one of these sort of like descendants of the Nephilim or had, you know, I don't know, you say Nephilim blood and that's what made him so gigantic. So that obviously they had a demonic aspect to them. And so that, that when David slays Goliath, he's actually fighting this demonic influence that was not supposed to be ins the world to begin with. I find it fascinating. I love that stuff.
Charlie Kirk
So, Blake, you just ignore me. You just think it all as we're told.
Blake
I, you know, I think if the more we study it, the more shocking it would be if we were to discover something way out of line. What I like to say, I've been to Egypt. One thing I think a lot of people don't realize is for the pyramids, for example, they can seem really weird if you think it's, there's like three pyramids and then nothing else like that was ever built anywhere else before. But if you go there, there's actually first of all, we have like the proto pyramids that they started building before the great ones. So if you go to Saqqara, which is another necropolis, they have, they have the step pyramid. It's older, so it's kind of layers. It's more like a layer cake type look to it. And what's also funny is they apparently were originally building these out of bricks. And so they take the stone and they carve it into brick shapes to keep the shape looking right, and they build that and then they build other proto pyramids and it all builds up to, okay, now let's actually build this huge mondo pyramid. And if you go around Egypt, you can also find the pyramids that they screwed up. So there's one called the bent pyramid where they were building it and then apparently realized this isn't gonna look right, so they just kiboshed it and it ends up looking like this weird mutant pyramid. And there's also some where they just totally screwed it up and the pyramid collapsed or got all goofed up. And once you find these Things it's much more understandable to think of this fits into a civilization that gradually developed this and had these false starts. But 4000 years pass and people think, oh, there's just this crazy huge building in the middle of the desert that came out of nowhere. And very seriously, I think a lot of modern, like conspiracy theories develop this way too, where people forget all of the context that happens around things that help explain it, and so things seem less explicable to them. So, you know, you're going to get a lot more conspiracy theories over time about the moon landing because people are going to forget, oh, wait, these are all the other space missions we did that built up to the moon landing. Here's all this other stuff that's proof it happens. And they just think, oh, wow, we just went and landed on the moon. That that doesn't make a lot of sense. And I think that genuinely is where a lot of oddball takes. A very conspiratorial takes come from is lack of wider context around things that allows you to misinterpret the stuff you do know.
Charlie Kirk
Let's go to Mormon names we have remaining.
Tyler
All right.
Blake
Okay, this is. This is me. It's time. Time for me to grill you. So I'll admit Mormon names was me naming this boldly. So do we have the chart here? Okay, so they made a list last year and it was the top red state names. Can you guys tell me what the number is here? I just want to. I don't have it right in front of me.
Tyler
The original red state one that you sent over?
Blake
Yeah. Okay, so is it 305? Is the chart here? Okay, so I can't read it. Someone posted in the chat. So I can read the names here. So what it is, is they look at the. We get the names in each. You know, the Social Security Administration tracks baby names.
Tyler
Right.
Blake
And one of the things that we can look at is this is all.
Charlie Kirk
Tyler, by the way. This is a master Tyler.
Blake
Exactly. And so what we can look at is how many states babies have names in different states. What's the proportion of kids that are getting that name in red states versus blue states? And.
Tyler
And only in red states, like the craziest.
Blake
And there are some names that are like, they're the reddest boy names and the reddest girl names. So for example, have the reddest boy name. So the most. The reddest boy name that has at least a decent number of people getting it, 72% in red states is Cohen with a K. And then in order, we have Baylor, Stetson, Kyson, Trip, Sutton, Briggs, Cohen again.
Charlie Kirk
Stetin's a great name. Stetson. I like that name.
Blake
Gunner and Baker, Gunner and then the girl one. This is why I called it Mormon so much.
Tyler
So much.
Blake
This is super Mormon. So most Red state girls names are Hattie, Noah, Oaklyn, Oak, Lee, Gracelyn, Renlee, Blakely, Collins, Oakley again with a different spelling. Saylor and Oakley again. We have four different versions of Oakley or Oakland.
Tyler
Oakley is like the number one name in Utah by a lot right now. If you look it up. I sent one into the chat. I think it was like had it in there. You can always tell the Mormons do a couple of things really well. Three things. One is they do a lot of women do a lot of hair. There's a lot of. If you live in Arizona, you know that. Two, they have really good soda shops.
Blake
And they do like those dirty sodas.
Tyler
Right? The dirty sodas.
Blake
That's how they put cream in it. Right.
Tyler
And then three is they'll come up with crazy names. And you can almost point out a Mormon based off of their name anywhere. If there's a crazy name. Just guessing that it's a Mormon, like. And it's just like this. It's like has like an element of normalcy.
Blake
What they'll do is they'll take a lot. Yeah, we've got the one there. Taylee.
Tyler
It's like keeping up with the Joneses type mentality.
Charlie Kirk
Where does this come from?
Tyler
Because Mormons all go to church together in the same neighborhood. You have to live. You're forced. So Mormons are like subdivided and force together. And it's like there's like a massive like keeping up with each other. And one of the elements of Mormon culture is like outdoing everybody with a new name. And if you're a boy, it pretty much ends with ton, son or un. Almost always for girls. It's almost always like the lease.
Blake
Yeah. That's what's interesting to me is the way Mormon names tend to work is it's like a mix and match.
Tyler
They'll take a half.
Blake
There will be like 10 start. Like they'll take a normal name and they'll split it in half.
Tyler
That's right.
Blake
And then randomize it with another.
Tyler
You get it?
Blake
So you get it.
Tyler
You can move right in that.
Blake
Someone had a chart.
Tyler
Or they'll take like a, like a super like. You know how like again, a lot of you evangelicals will use like nothing but biblical names. Mormons will also pick Mormon, you know Book of Mormon names. And so like if you know Book of Mormon names you can be like oh, that's a person. Like ammonia is on there.
Blake
I can take a look at this chart. I just say where it's like the. The mix and match. This is. A blogger came up with this a few years ago but we have you know the A line so this is what you could start with. It's at the actual the bottom of chat here. But we have May, Kai, Tay, Brynn, Jin and Cam.
Tyler
That's right.
Blake
You can start with that. And then we have Lee, C. Lin, Ler, Din, sun and Bree. So you know you could be Brinson, Kinlin, Jay, Lee. Yeah. Melee Macy. Just got. You got a million different ones. But then they can get really creative. I found this old blog where they have. They were tracking some. Some fun. It was like the best of names from Utah. They say most Mormon name is Dallin by the way. Oh yeah, Dallin confirmed that one.
Tyler
Dallin is like a big, big, big. We. We know a few downs.
Blake
That's like a historic one though, right?
Tyler
That's we know if you don't like.
Blake
Are there 1800s Dallas?
Tyler
Yeah. Oh yeah. That like goes way back.
Blake
All right. But then like the more recent ones we have stuff like.
Tyler
Well I have top 10 here from Utah right now too. Oh the boys names. And like it cracks me up because you have all these like Mormon names like Hiram, Brigham. Do they spell it that way?
Blake
Don't. Hiram usually isn't spelled that way.
Tyler
That's like, that's like a Mormon way to say. Okay, so that's where it comes from. But then they have on their Stockton because they name after John Stockton.
Blake
Like we have to name our. We name our kids after a snobber in California.
Tyler
Number nine on the list is Glade.
Blake
Glade, that's like a geographical feature.
Tyler
Well, it's like a plug in. It's a air freshener. I feel bad for those kids.
Charlie Kirk
Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here. Brand new year, Brand new opportunities to change the world for the better. It's easier than you might think. You can save babies by providing ultrasounds with preborn. Together with the Sanctity of Human Life Month, we're going to save 35,000 babies to show the world that not only do we believe life is precious, but we're going to do something about it. Your gift of preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice. What better way to start this new year than to join us to save babies. And $28 a month will save a baby a month all year long. A $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come and will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret. I am a donor to this organization, and you should be too. Start this new year by being a hero for life. Call 833-850-2229 or click on the preborn banner at charliekirk.com that is charliekirk.com and click on the preborn banner. I'm a donor. You should be too. Charliekirk.com Preborn Banner Jack, what is going on with Snow Woke?
Jack
Yeah, so Snow Woke, this is a story, you know, I've been covering it on Human events daily and it's just broken out, just totally mainstream at this point. Where Snow White, everyone knows the original story, obviously the original movie from the 1930s, but even the much earlier Brothers Grimm, you know, fairy tale from the 1800s, 200 years old. Well, a couple years ago, this film was made at the height of wokeness. And here's what's actually kind of funny about the new Snow Whites. We all remember the traditional Snow White, the beautiful, you know, the skin is white as snow. It's right there. Well, at the height of wokeness, Disney's Snow Woke came out. And as it turns out, this was delayed due to Covid and due to the writers strikes and various other strikes that were going on in Hollywood. So this film that was made at the peak woke era is actually now coming out at the Trump era and everybody is just hating on it. And it's, it's completely an act of cultural vandalism. In fact, it's cultural terrorism. This actress is just horrific. She is so just, just narcissistic. In fact, the son of the producer has actually taken to Instagram and is just, just blasting her. Not only has she made horrific comments about all sorts of people, but she's deliberately targeted Trump supporters, targeted President Trump, saying terrible things about him and his family. And on the day of the election when President Trump won, she said, I not going to curse. But she said, f Trump supporter, F Donald Trump, F. Trump supporters. And I hope they know no peace. And this is who Disney chose to be the beloved Snow White traditional character. Plus, in addition, and Charlie, I'm sure you'll appreciate this, they completely changed the story. Where now Snow White is, is, as you can see, she's a quote unquote person of color who's leading an uprising against the white fascist queen played by Gal Gadot. And there's, there's also this sort of meta narrative going around the whole thing because Gal Gadot served in the IDF and has obviously been very pro Israel, not, not, you know, extremely vocally. She's more talked about hostages and victims and things like that of October 7th. But then the actress here, Rachel Zegler, has been very vocally pro Palestine. And so this has all been going on. Variety had a huge article talking about all the things that Disney tried to do. They even, they even sent a social media manager to Rachel Zegler to try to approve her post. So before they came out, they sent multiple producers to try to talk to her and she just completely would not listen, completely disregarded everything they said. And so now in the face of all of this, something like a $270 million budget just for production, another hundred plus or so on top of that in marketing. This film only did $43 million in its opening. It's one of the weakest openings of any Disney live action show. It is one of the worst cinema score reviews on Rotten Tomatoes for any Disney film. This is a great example of, look, the worm has just turned. The worm is just absolutely turned in the country. The mood of the country has changed. We are not doing this stuff anymore and people are sick of it. People are absolutely sick of the cultural degradation that we're doing to our own. I mean, how do you screw up Snow White? It's like the most basic story. Just, just take the story and put it on in live action if that's all you're going to do. It's so simple. But of course, when the cultural Marxists were running Disney, and of them still are, they decided to do these things with it. So personally, one of the things that I've been leading online is making sure that people understand that obviously this has been a huge travesty. But I want this to be a warning to everybody. Why? Because what is Netflix making right now? Narnia. Yes, Netflix. Narnia is coming up next. And who did they hand it over to? Greta Gerwig, who made the hyper feminist anti male film Barbie and was also at one point a co writer, writer on the news. Snow White.
Tyler
And it's so sad too culturally, because this is one of Walt Disney's most beloved characters that he had obsessed over during his lifetime was Snow White and they really have dishonored themselves. It's self deprecating, self demolition type work that we've seen from Disney, obviously that's not new, but it's like the, the amount of drama that you can read online about all of this and think about, again, there's really good people and this is why, you know, you're seeing more union guys, I think turn more conservative is like this type of narcissism that exists is literally going to cost probably dozens of jobs, if not hundreds of jobs that or that were committed to this and future projects that are now gone, basically vanquished because of the narcissism that came out of Rachel Ziegler.
Charlie Kirk
It's just, it's just so avoidable. I mean, I don't want to be cruel or mean, but if you look at her, it's like, that's not Snow White. I mean, come on. I mean, what are we doing here, right? This is, it's so forced and it's just such the arrogance of Disney and Charlotte.
Tyler
I kind of.
Charlie Kirk
There should be a shareholder lawsuit over this. This is like a violation of fiduciary duty.
Tyler
If they would have made Mulan, you know, super white, right. Like super Caucasian, that would have been a problem. If they would have made the Little Mermaid the right way, people would have been like, whatever. Those are all stories that are new stories that are post Walt Disney's passing stories. To take something that was so, you know, centric. It's the first Disney movie, it's the first real Disney movie that what built Disneyland, what built the empire. It's really a spitting in Walt Disney's face. Which I really have a bigger problem culturally with, in the historic nature of this whole thing. I mean you can be a woke organization company like they are today, but what they've done is like they've outrightly said with this and nobody's really saying this, you know, clearly enough is Disney hates itself. You have to.
Charlie Kirk
Well said.
Tyler
You have to hate yourself to do this.
Blake
Which speaking of a thing that intersects with this, that annoys me a lot is part of the justification is they'll say like Snow, Snow White's the oldest movie. That it's like dated or offensive. This comes up a lot and it really bothers me. It is very common for people online or in the media to do casual smears and character assassination of Walt Disney the person.
Tyler
Yep.
Blake
Like it's very common to see people claim he was anti Semitic. There's no evidence this was the case.
Tyler
Zero.
Blake
None whatsoever. There's like he said like one vaguely like Jewish tinged joke to a guy who worked at Disney once and like that's it.
Tyler
No Evidence otherwise, which by the way, there were tons. Some of, some of the top animators had Jewish backgrounds. Like tons.
Blake
So it's like no basis for this. No basis for like claiming he's this unhinged racist. And like what he was in fact was like a actual great American patriot. So for example, World War II happens and he's instantly says Disney is going to, in our odd way, go all in to help with the war efforts. So you can find all these Disney movies, like not just, you know, propaganda films, right? Oh, Donald Duck has to live in Nazi Germany, but I'm down with the Fuhrer. Yeah, like they made. They also even made like training movies. Movies, I believe. Like you can find the animated training. How to aim your anti aircraft gun.
Charlie Kirk
I want to play. Let's just wrap this up by playing 337 and men. Let me just give you a piece of advice. Do not date people like Rachel Zegler. Do not associate yourself. Anyone who talks like this, anyone that approaches with this kind of vibe or energy, this is, this is like get away, run away. This is complete red flags. I was going to say something more, but I'm not going to play. Cut. 337.
Rachel Zegler
No longer. 1937.
Jack
She's not going to be saved by the prince.
Rachel Zegler
She's not going to be saved by the prince. And she's not going to be dreaming about true love. She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true. The original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently. So there is a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her.
Blake
Weird. Weird.
Rachel Zegler
So we didn't do that this time. I was scared of the original cartoon. I think I watched it once and then I never picked it up again. I watched it for the first time in probably 16, 17 years. The cartoon was made 85 years ago.
Charlie Kirk
This is like the worst of gender.
Rachel Zegler
All of it extremely dated when it comes to the ideas of women being in roles of power.
Charlie Kirk
They paid $300 million. Let the witch become Snow White.
Blake
Gal Gadot is the witch.
Tyler
And we didn't even talk about. To the patriotism of.
Charlie Kirk
I know, which is ridiculous.
Tyler
Of Walt Disney. Walt Disney had plans to open up an Americana theme park, right? Yeah, yeah. Virginia is the original Epcot. That would have been. That's the only way in my mind Disney can make up for decades of, you know, self hatred.
Blake
It was gonna be like total Americana.
Tyler
All the time periods the best, all.
Blake
The different time periods. And they shut it down because it was going to be near Manassas. So they said it would develop a Civil War battlefield. And so they just went and developed the Civil War battlefield in other ways by making Nova an insufferable suburban sprawl. But.
Charlie Kirk
All right, we have to run, everybody. Keep committing thought crimes. I was gonna say don't watch Snow White, but there's no. There's no risk of that. They're going to lose hundreds of millions of dollars on this.
Jack
Watch out for Narnia. We need to be careful. Narnia, Netflix. Narnia. I'm telling you guys, we got to protect Narnia. We have to.
Tyler
The number that they said Charlie was, I think what was a $270 million to make, and then they spent well over $100 million to promote. So they've got to break probably 400 million just to break even.
Charlie Kirk
That will be not even close.
Tyler
Doesn't look like it.
