Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Thought Crime Thursday. It's been a while, the couple of days, a busy couple of days around here. A lot of thought crimes been happening. A lot of thought crimes eaten up the nation. A lot of thought crimes that have been committed by us as usual, but also by other people that we're going to get into a lot of that. Who we have right now? We've got everyone. Tyler came in mid open. Oh my gosh. We actually have Tyler. He arrived. How did you manifest? Did you manifest him somehow? Land in the plane. And then I just helicopter right in Andrew is off doing something cool with phantom easis or whatever the heck you people call in the whole that. That means.

2:02Col that. Yeah, exactly. Col that is off. Coling with the vets or something. And so we have Mikey. Mikey McCoy rejoins the squad, which is great because I think he's going to have very strong opinions on an exciting first topic. Very powerful stuff. I'm the deep bench recruit. I'm the oh, we're missing four or five people. The deep state. Yeah, something like that. Deep state Mikey. Deep bench Mikey. Deep knowledge of television Mikey. Because I think we want to start with something a little bit lighter. We were debating between this and an extremely heavy topic. So I think we're going to ease people in. And that is the classic discussion topic of the New York Times made a list. So everyone argues about whether the list was correct. And this time the list of New York Times made was the top television shows of the entire millennium. Wow. The first 20 years. I haven't seen this at all. So I'm really interested. Okay. I want to. I want them to make a list of all the top thought horrible shows. What's cool about the New York Times when they do it? I know

3:04they're annoying, but the New York Times has enough gravitas, enough prestige. They can get pretty serious people and like they can get a lot of them to respond. And so they got about 500 television professionals to vote on what they think the best 100 TV shows of this basically of this century. So the past 26 years. And in the least surprising development ever, they said that number one was that's right. It's not the sopranos because the sopranos debuted in 1999. It doesn't qualify. So we had so that number one. What's that? Wait, wait, wait. Let's set, let's set parameters real quick here because like like typically the sopranos is seen as, you know, the the start of the Golden Age of Television. Yes. So are the parameters from from like January 1st 2000 on? Is that what we're saying? Yes. Exactly. The sopranos actually debuted in January 1999. So even though by far the better part of its run occurred this century. It has to debut this millennium. And so got cut out. And instead the number one show actually since you haven't

4:07seen it Tyler, can you guess what the number one show was? I just cheated. I saw it. Oh, you cheated. Mikey, have you cheated and looked at the list? I'm looking at it right now. You guys are all all. It probably would have been one of my top guesses though. Alrighty. Well, and I appreciate it because Charlie actually loved the show. Oh, did Charlie? I never thought of Charlie as a guy who'd watched TV. So the fact he watched it at all is probably pretty remarkable. Yeah, he didn't watch a ton of stuff, but I always thought it was really interesting that how often he talked about how great they show us. Okay, well, we haven't said it actually. The number one show unsurprisingly since it wasn't sopranos, it was breaking bad. The chemistry teacher with lung cancer becomes meth dealer show. Set in albacurkey are kind of crumbly reversion of phoenix to the east. No offense to albacurkey. It is true. And so number two was the wire. Wait, wait, wait, wait, before you go on, did you know about this? So a guy did a super cut of breaking bads all its seasons into a two and

5:10a half hour long movie. What? Did you know how he's in this? Wait, oh, yeah, super fun. What? So I never got to see it because it gets knocked off the internet as fast as it gets. I'm sure if you have access to the dark web like, like, does like you could probably find this so you could probably find this. I can't, I don't know how to do that. But there was a guy, a fan movie, he spliced all of it together and apparently it makes perfect sense. So he took all the subplots and all the stuff he took out, but like all the main themes for two, two and a half hours are squished into that. And it's just the whole show and it's one movie. And it's supposed, it's supposedly like an incredible movie. That feels like it would be really disorienting. Like a lot goes on in a breaking bad. Did they just cut out season three or something? Again, I haven't watched it. I've just seen the commentary on it. This guy, and you can pull up on IMDB. It's breaking bad stitching to one, two hours, super cut. There's a link. I don't know, but it's been kicked off the

6:13it was on the internet for years. I'll find it. I'll find it. And I'm telling, I've always wanted to watch it. So if you find it and you get access to it somehow into into a box, I really want to watch it because people, people at the time, I think this was like 2017, 2018, people were raving about it. And it's, it's, it's, I've heard about this. You've heard it. You've heard about Mikey. So I have all of you guys watching because I have a confession. I watched the first two episodes I haven't breaking bad. And it wasn't really for me. I kind of stopped after that. The only thing I remember was that he's solving that guy's body. And he didn't, he used the bathtub instead of the plastic thing. And so it eats through. That's the only thing I remember. I, I really got into it. And here's the reason why I got into it. I, oh, it's great. There's not a ton of shows that are set in the Southwest. Like, there's just not a lot. And again, New Mexico is like New Mexico. But it's kind of like I have some family in New Mexico. It's like such a weird place. It's such an interesting place. And I actually think find it like the entire setting got it of a show in, that's intriguing to me. That's like it's set in Albuquerque. I feel like we, I feel like America

7:18as well. You found it already. Oh, nice. Send it over to him. I feel like I was doing it. I want to see it. Like guys, ask, ask, like if you ever need anything on the internet, just ask, but I never even knew this existed. I found it before you finished commenting on it. So yeah, I just put it in the chat. It probably wasn't even that hard to find. I feel like by the way, all of you who are watching live should get on that on what your number one show would be. And we don't have one of those skills. You just have to have this. Yeah, it's this Tyler. They're called the skills that pay the bills. All right. I'm just saying. I mean, that look too, because we're never going to watch this show. So it's in our. Okay. All right. It's this. I can't wait. I'm going to watch this tonight. This is, it's incredible. I got in on. There's two hours, two hours and seven minutes. Two hours and seven minutes. That's it. But I people, I'm if this is the one that people were talking about years ago, people raved about this cut. They said it was like released 2017. It says people said people like highly rated it. They were like, yeah, this actually does it a huge amount just obviously like the super fans and all the subplots. Like those are all cut out. But like

8:22you get the gist of the entire. So if you haven't watched the entire series, you know, it might be worth it. It might be worth to watch it because you might be interesting. The fact that it was an albacarkey does get me think I feel like as diverse as America is in terms of cultures and landscapes, it is a little underutilized. Yeah. Like I think it'd be cool if we had show set in Phoenix, shows set in you get a lot of shows sort of set in the South, but they don't really lean into the Southern thing other than a handful. True detective did it a bit with those seasons in the Bayou. Fargo got a bit of it. They have those seasons up in the Northern Midwest, but America's got a pretty strong range. Despite that, it seems like 40% of TV shows take place in New York City. There's a show that took place in the Florida Keys. That was good. What was that called? Has what's his face for Friday night lights? I don't know any of these things, but I will say apparently the fifth best show of this millennium is one I have never heard of. Blood, blood,

9:23bloodline. To me, it matters a whole lot. I'm picking back on what you were saying. I always find it boring whenever a show set in a generic place. It's always like Chicago. Yeah. Everyone knows Chicago's very generic. It bears hat or whatever. Boston, it's super generic. It's an overly nice house in the suburbs of pretty generic city. Always pisses me off. I love it when it's like, wow, that house kind of looks like a real house. It's in a city that's a real American way. Can I? Can we just read the top 10? Yeah. Sure. Looking at the top 10. There's no, there's Joe's in here that I've never even heard of. The top 10 overall was breaking bad was number one. Number two is the wire. It's the HBO show, Baltimore, gangs, crime. That always is to be everyone's number one until breaking bad came along. And by everyone, I mean all the nerds who are TV critics. I've never watched the wire. Number three, Mad Men. That's the ad show advertising show 60s timepiece. Succession. That's basically the Fox News show.

10:31That's great. Yeah. I have not seen succession. I've heard many of my friends watched it and said it was amazing. Number five is Fleabag. I have never heard of that show in my life. I've never had no idea what that is. I've never riddish something. I saw someone else's list that had Fleabag number two. It must have been a response to this. Yeah. And it must be a really good show. It's apparently a comedy drama British series. I will never support British television. Yeah, absolutely. And then number six. No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You don't like like Monty Python? I mean, Monty Python is like so old and it's like it's kind of made itself into pop culture that is just okay, but like modern British television. Yeah, like modern British television. I just can't support. I'll do it. Oh, well, I'll throw a thought crime on you. I liked the UK office better than the American office. So you know what's really interesting? And again, you have to give the UK office credit because of this. It was the original. But did you know that and you probably

11:34know this Jack, but does everyone else know that every first episode of every office spinoff in every country is the exact same script as the original UK's first episode of the office? Wow. So if you it's really fun, it's line by line the same. Yeah, exactly line by line the same in every language, every country. So it's really a fun activity. It's sometimes just just watch the UK first episode and then watch the American first episode side by side. It's really funny. Yeah, I back to back. I was so into the UK version. So in the the uh, this is sucks, by the way, I'm looking at other stuff. Yeah, but I think other fun ones on the list, uh, freaking game of Thrones at number six. It'd be really funny. Thank you. Now that should be up. Thrones, but only the first four seasons that should be up. That should be number two. Game of Thrones should be number two. Number two, even with season eight, objectively awful. Even with season eight Mikey. Season eight was fine. Season eight was fine. Charlie actually really liked the ending of season eight.

12:38Charlie watched Game of Thrones and it was good. Yeah, Charlie watched all the Game of Thrones. Charlie was such a big Game of Thrones fan that in his he would watch it with his family. In his house, each of their doors had like a little cut out image of who they were from the show. Charlie was John Snow. Um, but I remember talking to Charlie about the finale and I was like, this is this it was horrible. He's like, no, she did what was necessary to take power. And I was like, wait, wait, he's okay. That's a take. Wait, he supported. He supported. He supported. Yeah, he did. I'll never I'll never he was like, she did what was necessary. What's funny about this is I feel like that show is how bad Game of Thrones fell out of the cultural zeitgeist because the finale was bad because I worked here for three years and I don't think Charlie ever brought up Game of Thrones. I remember it. It's where we were with our full staff. We were actually doing director's training. It was our first ever real director training for turning point USA. And we had rented a house in San Diego. And that happened to be the same weekend that the final whatever the day was. I think

13:42it was a weekend because it must have been maybe it was during the week, middle of the week, that the final, the finale for Game of Thrones was on. So we everybody got together in the family room, watched it. And it was unanimously like anger like animosity like that. Everybody just like, all right, I'll go to bed. Everyone like just went to sleep like immediately afterwards. Like, no, everybody was upset, angry. I've never seen anything like it that was like so unanimously hated. So that's crazy. I didn't know that Charlie liked it. That's crazy. So I can explain that by the way as I'll just mention again, folks, you don't know like I got my whole start on the internet like doing Game of Thrones blog. And I called the angry GOT fan and ran that thing. We had like hundreds of thousands of viewers, you know, who clicked, spec as a blogosphere days, like kind of like gamer gate, nerd gate kind of time frame. And so I was just like railing against the HBO show, but from the perspective of a guy who loved the books. And the reason that people hated the TV

14:46show ending so much is because they kind of used like a book style ending on a show that had stopped following the books for years. So it was a complete mismatch. But if you would read the books, you would know that Daenerys was obviously always evil. She was always like, it was the backstory of evil dragon queen, like how you become an evil dragon queen. She was always just like this crazy toxic feminist, femboss. I can do whatever I want because I'm a girl. Yep. And I can just kill people with impunity, which she does with like the when she goes to the gist carry and the slave traitors and like just just starts murdering people for no reason, who haven't even crossed her by the way. She by the way, she kills her brother like people seem to forget that about Daenerys. Yeah, that's coming. He had a coming. Well, she kind of killed him again. Like she set up, she's set it up that he would be murdered so that she would then become the Targaryen air. But like everybody just like misses all this. She's culminates a situation. And like she's clearly evil

15:51from the very start. And this is what I always argue from from the beginning and he and like Daenerys fans, he'd be like, no, that's not true. She's a good boss. You know, all these these like stupid, you know, filthy show only casuals were naming their daughters like Kaleesi and stuff. Kaleesi. Kaleesi. Kaleesi is a totally acceptable name for a girl. Yeah. But then like, but then she turns out like Kaleesi, they do the full reveal of her as evil and then she gets murked by Jon Snow. Oh, I mean, I'm sorry. It's very funny that that Charlotte took that point of view. I don't know. I, what's funny is I thought it was pretty bad, but not for the reason everyone else did. Like what was clearly terrible was kind of everything leading up to the final episode. But I do feel like her going on, you know, a massive vendor in destroying King's Landing was one of the few upsides to it. Spoilers for a show. No, we're going to Winterfell was epic. The battle of Winterfell was epic. October 15th. Write it down, set an alarm because the second that date passes,

That's the show that got destroyed by Jesse Smolette faking the hate crime against himself. Oh, that's what that I was like I have no idea what that is. That's never 10, apparently it was. They they go really good. I'm unbelievable. Like it is I don't I don't know what flea bag is. I can I can see everyone making an argument for a lot of these and of course 30 30 rock at number eight is really interesting. I've always really enjoyed that show but people people suck up on 30 rock because of like it's all the libs like just like they this is like a 30 rock is like they're you know I will say every time I watch no no and funny I'm not going to get for being that's so that show is so liberal. 30 rock is like the lib like Fangirl show that's like big time big time this is like a very like this is sure you're thinking of all emails no 30 30 rock was the pre parks and rack. I think they're on at the same time. No, but 30 rock is like

19:09it's again it's the whole 30 rock started before. Yeah, it's a lot of faith is funny. I think Tina there's a whole like lib suck up culture around Tina Fey and it's like and if it's big time if Tina Fey likes you then then you're you're okay by like lib standards and they have like NBC. They have a rest of development at 12. That is what I would have put us the number one comedy. I would have put a rest. The rest of the development was like bar none before they screwed it up by bringing it back was was looked at as top. That's why you always got to end early rather than lay it. But I would have I think it would be a top five. I am I am overall kind of a TV hater. There are very few shows I've watched more than one seasons worth of and so I think it stands out that the three seasons of rest developments one of the only ones I've actually watched every episode in a show and then they released new episodes in those were terrible. So it became a show I haven't seen a episode of the inside jokes with your friends. The rest of development to me was the last show on TV maybe because I think that was after the office. Yeah it was after the office. A rest development that was before. No. A rest no arrested development was 2003 to like 2006.

20:15But it got popular later. Yeah but because it was on Netflix. That's yeah it got popular. Okay whatever that's why they brought it back and that's so me arrested development you could say the office too was one of those but the rest of the development was the last show that I can remember that was a TV show that had like inside jokes that people still shared before like like between friends that watched the stuff since then I don't even know if I can like really tell you a show like a comedy on TV that like people quote regularly and they people just know like quotes like inside funny jokes from that like you would with movies and I said this all the time we talked about this with my wife like kids like while I was in high school and Jack will agree with this when we were in high school we used to non stop quote movies like non stop that's like that was how you talked with people was like basically just like conversing with with lines from movies. Kids today don't eat they can't even quote one line from any movie they've seen the last five years. I that said I have asked about

21:18this and they will do the same thing with the same movies that we watched so apparently well it's not 13 it is still the funniest thing in the world to quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail to each other but but you like for our generation was like you could quote Zoolander you could quote old soul you could quote anchor man you could quote like there was like I don't say in Lur will not every Adam Sandler movie yeah they don't have like I'm telling you kids teenage boys today can't even tell you a funny moment from a movie less much less they don't go around quoting lots and it actually to me like I think about all the time like how does this impact American culture because American culture was a lot different when people are rolling around quoting so I mean there's there's different like the meat people do still have they do still have quotes like they have six seven they have skibbity like memes are still like there but those are like those are like tick tock but go up there and that's not movies that like shared meme culture does kind of

22:20exist but it's outside of movies now because that sort of writing has left movies and movies aren't a shared culture anymore but what is shared is memes so you'll see this on tiktok you'll see this on reels you'll see this in just you know like regular memes that people share and the way people talk but you don't actually see it in movies anymore because the writing has gotten number one so bad and the number two and like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon talked about this that when they make movies now for streaming services that Netflix straight up told them that we know that the audience doesn't watch the movie as they're actually like having it on because they're just sitting on their phones the whole time so we just make sure that like every 20 minutes or so someone explains the plot yet again to people and then we just throw an action scene in so people keep watching and so the idea that like you're gonna have a well-written show isn't gonna be you know isn't gonna be something that's marketable anymore so funny enough tiny night just went back and watch because

23:21I've said before that so tiny didn't grow up in the US so she doesn't have that same background like we did like you mentioned 90s 2000s where you know we had that shared culture of like will farrell movies that before she met me tiny had never seen a will farrell movie she was like I showed her anchor man she's like wow this guy's really funny it was like yeah I know he's kind of a big deal and so we're going through some of the Adam Sandler movies right now and she'd never seen them before so we watched 51st dates and the wedding singer and specifically with the wedding singer I forgot how well absolutely well written that movie was just so many quotable lines over and over so many quotable scenes you know you you you ran over two cones this could have been people this could have been gassed that are wedding they were cones like over and over and over just these quotable moments that again like you don't find them in movies today plus tiny and tiny I love to get your your thought on this that I don't think people rewatch movies as much anymore either in in the era of streaming only I think people like watch a movie and then they dispose of it I don't

24:26think there's movies where people watch multiple times anymore and that was a huge part of the culture it was like you watch a movie then you watch the end with your friends then you're all to party put a movie on I'm kind of okay with that too movie on and it's done well I'm kind of okay I have a theory on that I have a theory that clipping has actually ruined movies in that house that is gone have you seen the way they shoot the movies now clipping his room movies because yeah they shoot the movies with everything like centered so that you can clip it just like that so they so they so yeah everything's like down the center so they they they so everything is directed towards clipping which again proves your point of what you're saying is like tiktok is kind of killed trends and themes and all that stuff but movies now movies now think about think about how many movies don't get watched because the best parts are already clipped in their own like tiktok reels whatever so it's actually killing movie if the movie industry was smart they would get they would like really be hardcore about this and and like trying to eliminate it but they're not

25:26because they don't want to look like jerks probably but it's probably killed things and then after the fact instead of going think about if you if you wanted to go back and catch a line again you had to go watch the movie again memorize it to a tee yeah going the parking lot reiterate it with your friends 50 times yes I remember so many times and I don't know if you did this yet but like we would go watch a movie like you said be like that was awesome and we like we have to go watch the movie again we would go back and watch the movie again I remember doing this with like Zoolander or something I can't remember what it was go watch the movie again and then we sat in the parking lot afterwards like rehearsing all the lines with each other like remember this part and then it's like you and your friends then bonded and like like that's like we said and you go to school and you say the line can I can I go to a class to a teacher and everyone laughs right like but again that's not happening so that interpersonal communication part piece this is the thing is like okay it's getting replaced

26:27but now you're getting fed it from a third party source on the internet instead of repeating it with your friends are like like punking a teacher with it or doing whatever right right and it's just to me that's the reinforcement element is now happening from a device to your brain over and over and that's the only place that you're actually sharing that funny enough I I'm very sad when that movie when that movie stepbrothers came out the will for all movie I watched it by myself and I didn't like it at all the first time I watched it and I was like I don't get this movie I don't think it's funny I don't like it even a little bit and then I was and I'll never forget this I watched it in a setting where I had like four or five of my buddies around and I was like this is the best movie ever because we were doing all that it's it's very true so because you're like barking it's like mystery science theater kind of in those I mean that I would add guys that the only movies that perform like 2026 has been a comeback year for cinema and there's been a ton of

27:27movies that are performed but they're they have to be like unrealistic fantasy sci-fi massive budget for like you know marketing it it's like projectile Mary Odyssey Spider-Man you know Avengers Doomsday like a lot of these have broken the billion dollar box office records and they will like Dooms 3 is coming out that's the only movie that can be successful in theaters I watched Goodwill Hunting last night and I was literally sitting there just the entire movie is just about having a conversation and I was like there's no way this would come out in theaters today and anybody would watch this movie like there's just no way yeah it's like it has to have been a movie that came and it actually matches pretty close with this list starting in 2000 because if you look at the top films in 99 or 2000 the top 10 movies of the year include stuff like the perfect storm which is about fishermen getting into a storm and sinking it has what lies beneath which is this sort of horror drama thriller Harrison Ford bit supernatural has a romcom on it yeah I think

28:33that was the year like what women want came out something something in that period and then you get into 2001 2002 and suddenly it's Spider-Man X-Men Harry Potter everything is a big tent pole franchise film lots of special effects and that's kind of been what's run the day and as you said 2026 feels different and that we have random horror movies doing really well again and hopefully that leads to some creativity that would be great but on the TV thing before we move on I feel like we should ask everyone what their number one show actually is and is it even on the list can I can I add something to that just just to what Mikey's saying and it backs up in the last week I watched the the new Resident Evil movie twice I thought it was phenomenal it's doing really really well at the box office it's totally different practical effects of the act twice it's super cool in an hour because you use your accelerated speed no no it took two hours okay wait you watch movies on accelerated speed Jack do you even watch the show bro

29:38wait wait no I know that you watch things on accelerated speed but not movies yeah of course dude that's why would I want to give my time to Hollywood like that why would I let Hollywood control my life I'm gonna be honest my time I'm gonna be watching that much Hollywood I'm so ADHD I'm typically working while I watch every movie I watch a horror movie at accelerated speed the point of a horror movie is there's tension to it let me finish and then you're watching that accelerated speed is like the data I would I would I have to watch it it is really it's possible stop it and miss scenes I go back and rewatch it I probably watch a movie four times so you have actually be high IQ to be able to do this so I am perfectly fine say that low IQ I just I've never seen I can't even imagine I'd have to watch a movie like 15 times if I was watching I'm sad by the way I want to say I want to shout out one of our

30:39regulars who's not here today Dylan I'm sad you're not here because we're talking about TV and you could be touting all of your favorite anime's which I believe none of which are on the list but actually and I'll even add to that that since since I've been I've got my whole family on it now so even when I'm with Tanya who again as I mentioned before she is English at she's in ESL like English is not her first language even when I'm with her we watch movies at 1.75 and when I'm with my kids it's 2x everything's at 2x and they ask for it so what would your number one show be Tyler if it is and is it on this list yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna be real with you I'm I'm and this you can call me lame whatever people make fun of it all the time whatever I'm an office fan I just I just the American office no American office I could watch so good I can I can see for me I if there's like a comfort food in TV like it's the office like I could turn on the office in the background and it just like kind of like equalizes like makes you happy type of

31:43thing like that's like I would say that's if I want to if I'm gonna fight with my like with my spouse like put on the office of the background and like everything's better one of my favorite facts and then I'll throw a jack for his favorite one of my favorite facts about the office when it was on Netflix still it was the most popular show on Netflix Netflix of course was the biggest consumer of internet bandwidth in the US because of all the streaming video and so there was a giving year where Netflix was about I want to say 15% of all internet traffic and then on top of that something like about 20% of all Netflix show watches were people putting on an episode of the office that's how big it was yep so it was basically if you ran the numbers about 2% of all internet traffic in the United States was people specifically watching episodes of the office it's that's crazy and yeah and good for these people too because like some of those guys are making so much money still annually yeah from all the streaming like all of those actors like

32:46and they probably didn't at the time I mean they'll even tell you listen to them on the podcast and stuff like that they tell you like how they thought they were gonna get fired like after they were gonna get they were done after just a few episodes like it's pretty it's a pretty cool thing that they they have made an entire career after that okay um MK brand by the way asked if Charlie's favorite show would be science or they would be it wouldn't be on this list because it's not from this century yes but that was his overall favorite I don't know what his favorite line fell on this century he liked breaking bad time breaking bad all the time yeah all right all right yeah sign fell your favorite show is going to say century yeah well I was gonna say funny enough about sign fell similar to what you were saying about sopranos did you know a sign fell to actually started in the 1980s if you actually look I think season one was 1989 was only like it was only five episodes or something right yeah yeah it was it was like a five it was like a mini mini pilot kind of like mini series and you know the lore is that Steve Vanning was actually like involved with the financing of it and still has a piece of it to this day he was and oh 100%

33:51and you know it's and it's the first five episodes are really not that good um but yeah it basically set up what became the sign fell to empire um so so I'll just while we're on the pelvic topic before you yeah Charlie always talked about Ozark too in a weird way huh which is really this is never sick yeah I forgot about that but he did watch Ozark he clearly he watched Ozark and he talked about Ozark all the time I I wasn't like that big of a fan of Ozark I thought the first couple seasons were pretty good but anyways by the end of the year more than 60,000 babies will have been saved by pre-born centers just this year 60,000 babies and for every baby who saved there's a mom who saved from a lifetime of pain and regret take a stand for life by providing an ultrasound for a young woman when you do she is twice as likely to choose life just $28 helps provide that ultrasound that saves one baby $140 helps save five a gift of $15,000 and I know there's

34:51people out there in this audience that can do this $15,000 provides an ultrasound machine that can save thousands of babies for years to come and $28 a month can help save babies all year long for less than a dollar a day so call 833-850-2229 that's 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com today pre-born was so special to Charlie and it's so important to me as well right now you can help make motherhood possible by providing ultrasounds with pre-born I'd be so honored if you'd prayerfully consider joining us. Sorry go ahead Jack what's your show? we need to sit down and figure out the charliekirk favorites and stuff because it's just stuff that people didn't like you obviously even talk about it on campus or whatever but it's just stuff that people need you know they should know. So one of the kinds of cards obviously like that those first couple of seasons to you like we repetitively nonstop talked about House of

35:53Crimes to Charlie when I hated that show. I was dumb. I thought it was pretty spot like spot on and how people interacted in the DC. No that's the thing about it it's like it's fake. House of Crimes screws it up because it's based on a British show and in Britain it actually makes sense for this mid-powered back bench to the House whip to maneuver and destroy the people ahead of them in the party become prime minister. It makes no sense that all in America for the House whip to like connive to bring down the vice president and then he makes himself vice president then he takes out the president that makes no sense everything in that show is so stupid. That doesn't make sense. And then the first lady takes him out how that happens doesn't make sense but the how the people interact with one another is like so spot on. Like that like all these these people that think that they're so special that work in the capital. How they act in a react is like it's pretty it's pretty funny. I don't know. Anyway, sorry. If you watch that if you watch I'm

37:00intentionally trying to cut off Jack. There's an episode in fun fun fact about House cards as well as Veepe that if you watch an episode I think season three of House cards where he's the president and he's sending the troops off to like some valley as on a peacekeeping mission and he's sending these UN troops. If you go and look at the front row of those troops that are standing directly behind Kevin Spacey like the very first guy in the Navy uniform is actually me. No way you're in your house. No way. I was way what they filmed it they filmed it when I was stationed at Navy Intelligence and they reached out to a bunch of guys in the military saying hey we want to find people for you know who can like take off take leave and you know just film it as background and I was like I was like yeah that sounds cool so a bunch of us took leave and we went and filmed with that one day so yeah it got to get to work with the whole team on the show and and Robert

38:03Reich super cool it was cool and I did an episode of Veepe as well when he goes when he go to that like fake Google company my show which I will say oh there's a show that I'll add it that I'm actually like I like breaking bad I love the wire game of thrones we talked about that and madman I think it's great as well the show that I'm glad to see the the Americans is pretty high up on the list I think that's awesome your nobles pretty high up which I think is awesome and I will say that I'm really I was really excited and I'm really pleased to see that one of the highest shows is one that that I absolutely love that hardly anybody talks about and it doesn't get as much credit but the fact that it's number 37 on this list is Battle Star Galactica which I argue is like it's it's I think it's that specific show the 2004 Battle Star Galactica

39:08is the best made sci-fi show of all time and it's a show that like even if you don't like sci-fi you can sit down and watch it and be like this is a great show and it's got incredible cast got Merrick Donald it's got ever James Almos plays Admiral Adama Katie Sackhoff it's just again an incredible cast great writing it's a really good show and yeah pressure because it talks about AI when we're living in a time where that's like you know one of the biggest topics that we're talking about all righty all right Mikey what is your favorite show of this millennium objectively the greatest show of this you know 21st century is the summer I turned pretty oh what what is that show period okay let me know about the show because Daisy would talk about it did Daisy put you up to say in that no bro this is the greatest show of our lifetime okay it's fantastic it has nothing to do with love

40:12that's just kind of like that gets in the way of the story it has to do with this house and they grow up in this house and there's all these traditions around the house and it's about like you know keeping the family together it's about the nuclear family it's about true love it's about it's like the most conservative valued show out there it really is the greatest show of all time okay all right all right that's pretty strong cell like what you're all right let me take we should guess Blake's favorite show is it on this list no that's not on this list uh and I don't watch that much what's your favorite show on this list my favorite show on this list and probably be arrested development on the list read arrest development I think and then other than that like I said I watched very few shows I did watch all of Game of Thrones the last couple seasons are really bad but I was a book super fan I was kind of in no matter what it was gonna be and yeah it does a lot of good stuff and I love arrested development but then I kept making seasons for it

41:12and that was a mistake I watched a few episodes of breaking bad whatever a lot of these I watched a couple episodes I never attracted so I don't even know who that is and I don't remember anyone's names other than like the core people and that is because that is because we're gonna go deep into the recesses of my mind and I see Dylan has actually joined he's gonna probably semi like this I think my favorite show the 21st century is going to be Nickelodeon 2005 avatar of the last airbender yeah all right yeah yeah I'm taking mine back I agree with Blake it was so good it was so good we got three or four different terrible attempts to continue it because Legend of Korra it was bad live action version bad live action movie bad they're making some new cartoon version that's gonna be bad too but that one that was lightning in a bottle everyone thought it was gonna be terrible and it came out and it was awesome okay and 14 year old me was here for it

42:17there's there's some there's some yeah yeah things to mention here three shows that are on here back to back 56 Nathan for you that's a great show I cannot watch Nathan for you it's too out of work it was too painful I love watching it really really awkward stuff in television causes me physical distress I can't believe that 56 on this list to be honest with you it's a little crazy that's like that high but 50 another one 57 I think you should leave like I actually I laugh every day at clips that's that's a show that's a good example of a show that gets clipped up that basically is just a clipped-up show that is a whole layer a show and then shappelle show shappelle show was probably one of the most transformative shows I think for that was a very important one yeah for like people my age and and jacks age like where people like actually like quoted talked about it all the time like that that legitimately like deserved that is there's a higher ranking in my opinion if that how influenced well I thought this was more

43:21like dramas I thought like if we were no it's not always a reality ridiculous show like I think you should leave is like a ridiculous show it's like it's a show about anything have you watched it's a 10 Robinson it's 10 Rob is it who we don't like 10 Rob is it because he's a lib but he's not funny I I think 10 Rob is this hilarious I think the most interesting thing on here is like where they put the like the reality TV shows or like yeah long running shows that don't really fit in I don't know that's what modern families really low on this it's kind of shocking because that that was a pretty well like well some stuff that's not on here at all Silicon Valley is not on here and I thought that was great I like Silicon I love Silicon Valley well the one season of it I watched Silicon Valley is is is really well written man I feel like we talked about this all day really quick though a caboose the masses demand what is your favorite television show so my favorite currently I would say is a night of the seven kingdoms even though we only got one season right now my favorite show that's on the list is number 73 it's Barry if anyone hasn't seen that they

44:24should definitely check that out it's a dark comedy with Bill Hader oh yeah oh I heard that my friends liked that show I remember also generation kill is an incredible show that's the HBO Iraq movie or show yeah so it's based on the book by Evan Wright when we first went into Iraq he's traveled with a group of recon Marines when we first entered Iraq read the book the books incredible the show just as incredible and also the terminal list is a good one excellent excellent what one of the shows I've heard about beef have any of you watch beef they've got seconds dude I've heard but I heard it squares this is like the best show I've heard I haven't watched it yet but I've like I've had multiple people be like you've got to watch beef you have to watch beef it's all about it like I guess an interaction of someone like getting to like road rage or something and it's like a continuation of like yeah an entire season of people like getting into like a fight I don't

45:24know it's crazy I'm deeply interested if we are two things if we're doing comedy is you got to add tires with Shane Gillis I mean that's just absolutely hilarious show it's not even on here that's shocking yes I'm not it's so good and and also caboose if you if you'd like to notice having kingdoms that much highly recommend the other short stories slash novellas by George R. Martin in that series the sworn sword and the mystery night that we're getting TV versions of them soon so well the first yeah and the first one was almost one to one and so the guys who are adapting the the Dunkin Egg series it are not the ones who made the Game of Thrones proper show apparently we're also getting a Game of Thrones prequel movie I think with Robert Pattinson playing Aegon the conqueror which like is like way back in the like 300 years ago of a Mestrosie history and and uh... night at seven kingdoms is just great because it kind of like

46:27it pulls you out of the you know civil war political aspect there is but there you know there is a good amount of politics but it's just sort of like a night and his squire sort of going about the land and you know getting into high jinks yeah it's really really cool all right so I have I have some issues with this list because it looks like they like intentionally left out like a bunch of shows like well you're looking at a bunch of shows from the nineties no nineties shows on that no MTV jackass was like a really culturally influential show that was after 2000 was it yeah are you sure that I did released October 2000 wow Jersey Shore okay we are not putting Jersey Shore in this I don't care if it's influential I don't care if it's influential okay yeah so is like the black death I mean there's a few others it seems like all the MTV shows were left off like getting kidney stones is influential in your

47:29life you wouldn't rank that as a top thing no jack was punked like really an influential show more than some of these like crappy shows that were on here it we know punk punk what there was there was like a 18 month to 24 month period repunked was like everything Robin big Robin big was like a big deal like without all that I'm just I'm just saying there's some shows here it looks like it looks like intentionally like a lot of MTV shows were left off this list Robin big or Rob Deerex fantasy factory was like a big deal for that was like the biggest show for like two years too like like that like and and I'm and again I'm not saying I'm not a Jersey Shore guy I'm not from Jersey but that was legitimately one of the top ready to chose on television man and the Kardashians is on here oh no no you're chilling for the Kardashians I'm not saying you want Kardashians on the top one I'm just saying that these are like these were some of the most watches oh no but like Laguna beat what about what about the hell I've never heard of

48:34TV have you watched the hell no there's a different so between what was like culturally relevant and had the highest ratings and what was objectively a good quality show okay I think I think we should give the distinction there yeah but if it wasn't good then why do they get such high ratings because we're a fallen society because we're falling away in the center but if it's sinners and God will extract his judgment for many of us again I'm going to do the same answer for the Cornell story yeah team mom yeah actually should we get into that we've we've really extracted a lot this is a very fun discussion we probably should but I think we should dive into the Cornell thing because it is mega viral and we have to follow we have to chase the clicks we have to chase the hits so we talked about this on the show today as well have you been following this Tyler the Cornell drama I've I caught it I caught wind of it and I was like kind of reading I was like this is unbelievable it is very unbelievable it's very disgusting Mikey have you been following this yeah yeah unfortunate unfortunate I only really started to pay real attention to it yesterday but

49:38it's absolutely everywhere I was pointing out if you go to the New York Times page the lead is not AI it's not Iran it's not anything else the lead on the New York Times today was developments in the Cornell saga this of course is a lawsuit that has been filed a girl who was at Cornell she took a ketamine she drank a bunch of alcohol she went to a frat party she apparently engaged in carnal activities with up to seven different guys afterwards it seems she realized that this was a very humiliating thing to do and because in our modern society we don't have a way of verbalizing why you'd be able to do something like that and feel terrible about it and regret it without converting it into I must not have consented to it because if you consent to anything it's good yeah so now we circle around back she's suing everybody and we have the age of New York coming in and opening a criminal investigation Jack it's like they're trying to revive you remember 2014

50:402015 the campus assault hysteria frenzy it's like they're trying to do a remix of that do Matt mattress girl the UVA story I mean these were these are people have to remember too that these were stories that particularly started coincided with like gamer gates the nerd gate stuff I was talking about with Game of Thrones and then the rise of Trump that these were these super just hyper politicized but like in a cultural Marxist kind of sense stories that took over our media we were being told that all manner bad every male is a potential rapist that campuses and fraternities were these hotbeds of this activity and it all fell apart and funny enough you know the the original one of these like the Err you know campus rape story of course you know fake rape poke story was the Duke lacrosse team and famously one of the students at Duke

51:45University at the time who became very well known on media for speaking out against this was Stephen Miller at as I think he was like a college Republican back then and I know he was in students' academic freedom with David Harwoods which of which I was also a member at the time at Temple University and also called out the Duke respond Duke lacrosse case at the time that it it seems like another one of those so you know as we dig into this Cornell thing like correct me from wrong but wasn't there something that she filed a a lawsuit first and then like the lawsuit didn't go anywhere and she just but she didn't actually claim that it was non-consensual two years ago and now she's claiming it was non-consensual like she's oh I've I thought more about like what is it if you have that correct that's an angle to this well yeah no so I think the lawsuit is new but she originally filed a criminal complaint with police okay that's the narrative of our friends digested that the New York Times reported on this today that she goes to the party does all

52:49that stuff up multiple three sums and then afterwards it seemed they actually the New York Times they seem very aware of what's really going on they charted out that originally she describes it to her friends like it's this extreme thing she's done like she's so adventurous and instead people react they kind of find it disgusting they find it upsetting and then she realizes oh this is bad and then she was she was actually interested in one of the guys like more seriously and so she was sending him friendly stuff like oh you know it was kind of that was kind of wild but you know nothing illegal happen and she's literally the twist that the New York Times highlights today is she was looking forward to a Halloween party at this fraternity after this all happened and then the fraternity realized this is getting a lot of heat people are all talking about this they uninvite her from this party and then as the New York Times puts it by about November 3rd she had concluded that what had happened to her in October was an assault she goes to police and then it

53:51seems I think what happened is her friends were giving her a lot of shocked reactions so she dialed back she tried to kind of hide accountability hide responsibility for this by downplaying her level of consent her friends understandably go wait what then you got you got raped you got assaulted you need to go to the police she goes to the police and then I think the police they start asking her the questions you need to ask well did you voluntarily drink alcohol did you deliberately take drugs did you consent did you ever refuse consent when someone tried to do something and did they ever not listen and so on she wasn't going to lie to the police so they look at this and they go well this is kind of gross but it's not a crime and now we have this entire dramatic aftermath and it just seems everyone is losing their minds about this except for actually the view oddly enough if you're looking at your investment portfolio and feeling pretty smart right now remember a bull market can make anyone look like a genius if you've had a good run the question is whether

54:53you keep it the people who act early do it from a position of strength the ones who wait act out of fear there's nothing worse than turning a great trade into a break even because you didn't act in time taking chips off the table isn't quitting it's protecting what you've earned visit noble gold investments dot com slash Kirk and find out whether helping to protect your profits with gold makes sense for you and to celebrate america's 250th open a new qualified account and noble gold will send you a free 10 ounce silver bar noble gold investments dot com slash Kirk the information is free but the knowledge is priceless and look the reality is this is like you know this is this is a broken society situation yes you shouldn't be yeah young men should be putting themselves in these these situations and you know that because there's there's scenarios that's part of the conversation right which is there scenarios where like young women get into this embarrassment

55:56situation which this may totally fit that that same bill right but it's like it's completely unfair to the young man and they drag them through and then and we find out later like that this is this is a hoax or you know it was obvious as a consensual relationship whatever right because that's at the end of the day that's that's what's that's what's most meaningful is that you know was their consent was there yeah doing all of that but in the framework of like a semi-normal relationship and again where it's like this is clearly not that right this is clearly a situation where society's so broken right you have an abnormal relationship which I I'll tell you I think is the epitome of again society really I mean they're men young men the numbers that that were just released this year are getting worse and worse on young men and young women wanting to be a relationship yeah particularly young women it's interesting to me that this blew up when

56:58we've seen polls that say yeah what 66% of women say their problems are caused by men so problems are caused by men and again this re-informed this situation reinforces it 100% right like because this is like this is one of the situations where clearly you know this could be a out the outcome could be is that okay this was all you know consensual or consented or whatever I don't know we don't know like we don't we don't know what the situation is right you know God forbid having forbid that it's a situation where it's not but regardless the situation is that now you have these things are polarizing to the fact to the fact that men and women young men and young women get even more freaked out right and it's because they're putting themselves in environments that are not normal or healthy or you know they're gonna take them to closer to marriage or like a relationship like any young man that engages in this even if this wasn't reported because 99% of these things don't turn into this right 99% of these things turn into videos getting passed

58:01around right and ruining people's lives on both sides because it's not just the young woman who's embarrassed it's also a young man later on that's embarrassed because there's a video of him engaging in something that's like it's totally it's totally you know immoral demoralizing everything and they wish they hadn't done it and and then that makes it harder to date yeah it makes it harder to get closer to a marriage or makes it harder to forgive yourself for the type of person you've become and and that's really what takes you down roads that are are really negative and nasty and so you know I the thing that bothers me and so I'll just finish on this is like think the bothers me about this situation is that I think people get off on the wrong stop on this thing which is like the first stop is the anger animosity I'm with her they you know type like you know you know stand with the young woman who was clearly taken advantage of her whatever right and that and that may be the outcome of this right and that's a piece of this but the bigger picture element of this that's completely

59:01ignored that never gets discussed the media for sure never discusses is like this is these are all things that that society should be fixing like trying to fix yeah you're practically and we're and we're like we're not like in fact people are saying like oh like there's a there's a whole element of this of people responding to this be like well would have been okay if she's yeah I know and it's like this is okay I don't believe fans yeah it just wouldn't be I think I want to fly this we got a donation message and it's like no none of this none of this is okay and the this behavior is okay in any kind of contact yeah I think Azuz's pedals she donated thank you Azuz and she asked are you even allowed to say what appendage this girl snorted ketamine on I think the question kind of answers itself what that was and then also did this happen because all these people mistook porn for reality and I think that's part of it everyone's like very detached from actual normal relationships everything is mediated through fake things which is TV all those TV shows notably

1:00:02I think we didn't talk about television got a lot more graphic like and kind of porny in the last 25 years compared to anything that came before due to HBO subscription prestige channels they would all have a lot of sex and nudity in them and then actual just pornography is everywhere now and I think this is frying people's brains it's making them think oh like this could be a fun thing to try and they're all getting one shot by this because actually this stuff is depraved it messes you up for life Mikey we haven't heard from you uh just what do you make of this you're also younger you've seen you're someone who's actually married has a normal family life we thankfully have a lot of people like that in the turning point world but I feel what's happening to a lot of people is they've been fed this line of basically feminism like anything is good as long as you consent to it and there's no dangers to this and people are getting absolutely cooked when they see the when they encounter the actual consequences of this yeah I mean you know hook up culture and like having sex

1:01:07just normally kind of draws this line in the sand where rape is bad like you don't cross that line but then secular culture when it views this like sexual culture as you know it becomes more sexy the closer you get to the line but with like Christian moral behavior like Christians never define human behavior as how close can you get to the line um we we have like the the guard rails of where sex should should be it should be in the confines of marriage it should be loving your partner respecting them but in this case it's everything that's the opposite of that it's how close can you get to the line I mean the girl in this case you know she's it's cited that she snorted ketamine off of the one of the guys genitalia um and involved in this case is there's marijuana ketamine alcohol multiple sexual partners it's everything that's like how close can I get to the line without actually crossing the line and in a Christian society none of that is acceptable we would never be

1:02:11in a situation like this because we we we we ask ourselves the wrong question you know often times in situations like this it's the question is was there consent and like that isn't an important question it's a moral one it's a legal question but the Christian question it's you know was their love is there self-control am I treating my partner you know with respect and that's why it's important in the confines of marriage and like there's the legal side of this where you know there's going to be evidence and hearings and a jury but none of this would have happened if if these young people were living in a moral and Christian society that asked itself not the wrong questions but the right questions and didn't put themselves in really dirty positions to begin with it's it's just it's a difficult case and it's also a disgusting case and I'm sad that we're even having this conversation as a picture but to me this is all it's a great exhibit for Chesterton's fence that's the idea that before you tear down a tradition a worm you have to ask

1:03:15why it was that created and we had this norm built up it took centuries millennia to build up that norm of Christian approach to relationships dating marriage sexuality and then in a matter of basically a couple decades people said oh that must have just been done to control people and there's no reason to do any of that stuff get rid of all of it and now we're just seeing this absolute cascade of psychological destruction and it kind of makes me angry that a lot of people they're going to throw the school the police the prosecutors these boys who made bad decisions I think it's like pretty gross what they did but they're going to try to pulverize them a lot more like they like they I don't think they're criminals basically and it's like they're basically going to turn them into scapegoats for a giant society wide lie that they feel the need to perpetuate I want to play this clip because it does intrigue me this is a cameo is it paglia paglia I can never remember if you pronounce the G in that one but she's I think it's paglia paglia like arch feminist

1:04:18left wing feminist theorist but she had a pretty interesting response to this that I kind of want to play let's do clip nine you don't think there's a problem a sexual assault because a lot of what they're coming forward now and in cases of real rape of course should be prosecuted of course real rape okay is a crime but this is not real rape we've been arguing about dating encounters of mid and with miscommunications now for decades okay it's absolutely infantilizing to women it must stop but you know that a lot of women are afraid of sexual assault or have been sexually assaulted should they not be able to go and drink and play beer pong and get drunk like the guys do they live in fear if you go to a fraternity house party all right with a chaos going on in the living room area and a a young man says to you would you like to go up to my room I'm sorry okay you are consenting to sex he is right to think you have consented okay to go up there and so it's like change your mind and so on right it's not right of course for anyone to

1:05:19impose themselves sexually on another person naturally okay but women must realize they are now free the sexual revolution has been won why are we cuddling young women okay to say go on being you know children because mommy and daddy will be there to pick up the pieces for you afterward we're gonna go on like this making endless excuses for middle class girls okay confused unsure of what they want okay perhaps the sexual revolution should be reversed okay because what's we're showing that perhaps co-education is a bad idea okay maybe today's young women okay are not prepared for co-education you think wait I liked that end bit co-education was a mistake bring it back let's bring back male schools let's go female school is bring it all back we've got to bring it back guys can I can I bring up my favorite all-time Camille Bagley a tweet or a saying since we're since we're in here she was talking about she was talking about serial killers and she said she

1:06:22said why they're why are there no female jack the rippers because the the same reason that there's no female Mozart's well wow she's she's a Mozart of words though I will give her that she's it's really not a person absolutely phenomenal by the way jack the ripper most likely Polish just saying okay wait are you are you bragging about that one or I just I have this guy name this like I have this theory and I'm not really sure if it's true or not it might be a thought crime but I have this theory that for some reason we polls have like a higher preponderance of others of serial killers and I'm trying to figure out why that is boredom and also and also it's it's not random that like Wisconsin is home to like the highest amount of serial killers and they're all Polish people so are they there was also it was also Polish yeah Wisconsin has like one of the highest yeah but I only know the one guy the guy that they based the science of limestone that guy wasn't like I wasn't I'm not saying they're Polish I'm just saying like Wisconsin's like the highest density of

1:07:25like American polls fair enough well they're not in like well the Chicago land too though yeah it's the whole Chicago land area and that and we're there's a lot there's a lot of serial killers is Wisconsin okay I mean I think a Poland in in the communist era when it was like the people's Republic of Poland there there was like a pretty high number of serial killers yeah I'm man whatever well that's like that's more okay the point is guys we need to undo no co-education we need to undo I don't know we need to but the point I think it's just a strong point that they're going to have this it's ridiculous that we're going to have this gigantic freak out this gigantic tizzy over this event at Cornell and really it's just screaming at us in our face that the sexual revolution was a mistake that people actually deep down they don't even want this I think that's actually the most interesting thing about this entire gross story if you read the details which I I don't

1:08:27really recommend unless you have the stomach for it because a lot of it is very gross but like the entire thing is like not even like arousing it actually is like it's it's off putting and gross and that's what stands out to me about this that there's actually no romance involved in this no real desire involved it's people robotically acting out as Zuzu said this like porn-inflicted view of reality it's cooking people's brains it's making them miserable it's creating all these casualties and that goes back to like what I was saying was that you know you're engaging in this because you're not when you're not interested in trying to seek like actual really and again I'm not blaming this situation totally on this I'm just saying in general society when you have young men and young women who have zero interest whatsoever and actually being in a relationship for years if not decades or maybe ever do you engage in more of this activity right like so what you're saying we can take it all back to the beginning people are cooked because they haven't formed

1:09:28relationships and they spent too much time watching TV if you're not trying to if you're not seeking after those types of activities like the at good activities you're going to fall you're going to fall prey to the bad ones right you're going to try to re-enact the things that you consume to your point like which is like a highly pornographic society like we've said this many times on this show we've talked about this is like it is shocking what percentage of of American young females are on only fans it is shocking the percentage of young women who engage in even just click baby type Instagram content that were they're just seeking attention and not really sinky relationships like it you can only do so much with the 24 hours that you have every day and if you're if you're spending all of your time for years like getting paid now and I actually think I totally think that it's one of the worst things that could ever happen to society is the monetization on social media

1:10:31like it's very democratizing and I and I told and like people have lauded it because they're like this is great like you can be a small business owner yeah well your small business ownership now in America predominantly with young women is getting clicks for posting bikini pics like that is an absolutely terrible a terrible situation that's happened for American young Americans and it's and it's going to cause further delays and building families which means further delays and and maturation which means that America is going to get sicker mentally physically like as a society like it just it is like and and this type of activity again if you're in the mindset it's like oh well I'm basically just like a click you know person I'm not worried about getting married for a decade I might dabble in this activity that's going to be like it's going to get you know whatever 10 years from now no one's going to care I think I think well 10 years from now you should probably already have two kids in a you know a long-term career and focused on like where your life's going

1:11:34to go and like that's just not where young Americans brains are at unfortunately as an average right now I think I think I mean I'll just I'll just throw it out there like you know how to solve this stuff I'm insane if for eight years now be a rebel starter family right just just go into this with the basic Christian view of marriage and say this is what I'm married I'm I'm dating for date to marry obviously and you're looking for a partner for the rest of your life and start those young start those young because the the younger you have kids shout out to Mikey McCoy on that one that the more time you just spend with them it's as simple as that yep being being a young dad's fun being being a dad at all is fun and that's like again it's best I mean it's the there's nothing there's nothing more gratifying and I'm more grateful for it's like I think about this all the time you especially as a dad that's raising a I have a teenager where it's like I'm so glad that my teenager when he's busy doing things that are positive right

1:12:37like he has a girlfriend right now like he's doing positive things that versus negative things and if you have like if you're idle I whether they say about idle hands you know actually lead to really bad things it's the same thing for adults if you're not if you're not like looking after kids and are busy yourself with you know your your kids you know activities and doing these like you can easily slip into and fall into you know bad habits bad activities and things that just aren't going to make your life better and so that starts at the moment you turn 18 and you get out of the house and it can continue till the day that you that you leave this earth at an old age and we've seen stories of all of the above you know I we have I have friends that have had family members that fall in pray because again how many times have you seen where the kids leave the house or something and you know they end up you know and severe alcoholism or whatever right like drug addictions at an old age and very old age again happen the idle hands like you have

1:13:40nothing going on and it's like all of a sudden you can slip into these things any person can feel fall prey to it all righty I think I think we basically approach the end point I think the main takeaway here is yeah go out start a family which means watch less TV actually even though we just spent 45 minutes discussing it and no no no find someone you can watch TV with right like that's that's a cool part of the relationship find someone you know jacks right because your TV watch you take absolutely but before we do before we go I do what I did want to throw this up guys it was real quick I did get to spend a little time with our favorite vice president yesterday aboard Air Force 2 and in fact I got him to comment on something that was a huge topic here on thought crime a couple of weeks ago guys play clip 14. Shoring jobs importing cheap porn labor like I just think you have to level with people that if you're trying to undo 40 years of bad policy of globalization of

1:14:43shipping American jobs overseas it's going to take a little bit of time to fix that now do I think we've made incredible progress absolutely but I think we just have to be honest with people look we're trying to fix what was broken over 40 years everything was not going to be fixed in 18 months but you can't ignore people's concerns and so you know on the one hand you have the president talking about all the great building that's happening you have me sort of acknowledging that it's going to take a long time to rebuild the American middle class and on the other hand you have a few toned-up Republicans who say shut up if you're pissed off about a $22 grito when my response to those people is no listen to people who are upset with the state of the economy if we don't listen to people we will turn into the very thing that we hate the very thing that we ran against the very man you're dropping that without Andrew around no Andrew around react to the proveedo is a six shot to the way the window like you're just it's like well it's crazy and we actually

1:15:44we didn't play it in that clip but we actually land in the interview so like the plane actually lands at Andrews so like we're talking and he goes he goes oh yeah we're about to land so tell your camera guy to like brace and like his staff just grabs our our camera guy for rav and he's like they're holding on him and we just sort of hit and it's like boom and and he just keeps talking he's just I'm like I don't know that's ever happened to dinner few before but it was just it was cool man and when you landed did you go and get a $23 burrito how we split it actually times it tough oh man that's that's yeah even if I'm vice president all right Jack take us home you know there are ways to get cheaper burritos just just everybody's aware so support your local support your local you know hold the wall actually I'll say this as a thought crime for for maybe maybe next week but I'm getting sick of those people who buy a 3d printer and make absolute 3d printed slap and call themselves a small business I'm not supporting you it's not good 3d printed

1:16:48slap is not supporting local businesses and I'm sick of it and then someone had to say it someone had to say it it's going too far ladies and gentlemen on that note as always go out there commit more thought crime for more on many of these stories and news you can trust go to charliekirk.com
