I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy.
His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

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.

You were finally hip and with it.

I was finally hip and with it.

And it's a great – it is such an outrageous viral video.

There should be entire PhD classes taught on this.

What I love is how just the X version where it did not originate has more – like 10 times more views than the most viral Donald Trump post during the election. It originated on Instagram, right? I believe so.
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d this this one might end up breaking a billion so jack doesn't even know about this video unless he's trolling us but this thing you haven't id'd it but also i i'm not so i'm not really sure it's the saratoga video jack oh yeah i love the saratoga along with my banana every single day 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 six times. Because it is the ultimate fake influencer where you do absolutely nothing for four or five hours.

Nothing.

I think what really struck me with this is we've seen so many female versions of this.

You see all the female versions.

But this is the first real male version that went super viral. this has 750 million views 750 million that's crazy and it's so outrageous he wakes up at like 353 we'll show the video he takes off the little tape of his mouth and he does nothing for four hours you gotta wake up at 3 a.m so that you can like do a little bit of exercise and put the guy is built like

hercules yeah i mean he's built like unbelievably well and part of part of his like routine is just

sitting and like journaling to himself yeah and journaling about nothing all right this video has gone so viral. Let's cut 324.

Saratoga water gets me.

I love Saratoga water gets me. I love Saratoga water.
It's relatable. Is that it? I'll do it.
You can't get it on any electronics how do we have two for you I already I already don't find we're gonna see mine in a moment preaching about the arrival of Christ thank you so on podcasting someone narrate this as this is happening 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 going to go swimming so he he does like three separate workouts in a highly inefficient way my favorite is how long like the time before he dives in and then by the time he hits the water 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 like i thought it was weird while i was putting on a short someone was standing there handing him his towel he's very who's filming this whole the whole thing is like all very 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 laborious to putting on.
He's just doing wind sprints in an empty parking lot. Yeah, he goes and sprints outside, which before that...
Where does he live, by the way? Do we know? It has to be. It has to be.
It has to be. It has to be.
More Saratoga water. The only way someone acts like this and does this is in LA.
There's only one place. And then showers after all this.
It's another banana. More bananas.
Puts it on his skin. Yeah.
Thank you. No, someone served it.
Chef. No, a chef made it.
So is this guy like a celebrity otherwise? Oh, yeah. No, he's like a professional influencer.
You've made your first 10,000. Congratulations.
We got to do at least 20, bro. He's like a self-help coach.
Oh, yeah. All right.
I got to dunk my head in some cold water. Yeah, that's how you prove that you're worthy.
Did you squirt in the lemons, right? No, you have to squirt in the lemons he squirted in the lemons i think if i'm not mistaken you did it wrong now you'll never be a top tier you'll never do a top be a top tier influencer now you also have to pour in some of the saratoga water and mix it 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 no it's it's disgusting. You've got to mix it with your hands.
You're not doing it right if you don't. No, no, you've got to stick them in.
Did he really do that? Yes, he did. So, wait, you put your hands in something that's about to go on your face? Yeah.
He's defiant. You'll never be a top influencer now.
You will never make it now. You look at it wrong.

I look better, right?

It's like a magic spell.

You look like a black influencer from LA now.

That's what you look like.

Now you don't.

Charlie, you should do your next campus thing.

Just show up with tape.

You're rubbing a banana on your face. Wait, did he do that? Yes, he did.
He rubbed the banana on his face? I saw the peel. What's the point of this? He rubbed the banana on his face.
I think it was the peel. It was the actual banana.
Can we get an instant replay? We need someone to investigate this. This is going to be meme.
it was definitely a banana. This is going to be meme for years.
We're told it was the peel. Charlie's rubbing banana all over his face.
Is this really what he did? What is the health property of this? It's really funny. I think it's something...
I think I read somewhere like you eat the peel what no no you don't eat the peel no someone says that like i i i vividly deranged that there's like it looks like people from all across the political spectrum are done is this like supposed to be it actually makes my skin it's actually good like lotion i think that's yeah it's cheap it's cheap. It's cheap.
It doesn't taste very good.

I'll tell you that.

This guy.

One more time.

Whoa.

I mean, it has to be like ice bath type thing, right? Is that supposed to like tighten up your face? Oh, no, no, no. That's what it has.
Isn't there like collagen or whatever in bananas? Is that why? Like that stuff they put in coffee? Isn't this a collagen thing? Collagen is a peptide. But isn't there collagen in banana peels or something? Collagen is good for your skin.
Yeah, so I think that's why. This is a big collagen thing.
So anyway. Is this the secret to black skin? Maybe.
Why it don't crack? We'll have to see if you crack. So one of the ways people have responded to this.
I haven't had a banana in a while. So I don't put the banana on my skin.
They've been making videos of their own. People have been making videos of their own daily routines like michael knowles did one that was pretty funny uh michael's was great yeah his michael's was hilarious i actually laughed out loud 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 yeah make breakfast 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 you just taking food from other people it involves me this is what i do every single day and it's about what you'd expect super accurate uh let's play clip 330 there's no there's no audio i mean mean, they took out the audio.
There wasn't any audio. It was just him being quietly doing it.
What is this? Some homeless guy? What is this? You have to narrate it. This is a podcast.
This is me daily making it. I have to make my boba tea every single morning.
You don't get up there. You don't get up there.
Call it boba. Yeah, no, I don't.
And then I i walk and then i have to go at maximum intensity on every single exercise machine while in my full dress without changing is that is that the gym at your place uh yes i don't know you guys had a gym there 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 uh and then i dunk my face in ice cold water which is properly stirred with my hands as ordained by the video that's true uh and then i read my book about ming china and 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 my good bench press this isn't the turning point gym so this is that is the turning point gym you have to have two workouts a day two ways they call them and you a Diet Dr. Pepper that I pilfer from Turning Point Action.
Then I go and I update every single one of our tweet followers. I nap on the couch face down the proper way.
Then I go and I get more sodas from Turning Point. And then I have to take the tape off of my face that I have been wearing.
This is hilarious. And I think we have sound in this upcoming hour.
Emperor Charles V. His idea was...
I have to lecture everyone about the Ministry of Japan, the Ministry of the Civil War. The Japan was divided into all of these feudal feats and they were held by dying it.
So what General Lee thought was that if he could capture their position on Cemetery... This is actually what Blake does, though, over at our office.
This is very real. No, this is actually over at at the turning point office this is what blake does he comes over and i can just hear him talking yeah exactly endlessly it's great wait where was the point where was the part where you bookmark quran stuff uh i have to do that at home oh you know that wasn't part of your day and also i mean it wasn't seen you couldn't see what i was doing my computer but i was probably looking for a dude it actually would been funny if you put in there that you you turn on netflix oh that's not possible because i do not subscribe that would have actually would have turned on your hulu account yeah no wait hey turn on your no hulu account no no subscriptions to anything and if you don't subscribe to anything you can accomplish anything the uh there is something about like this window into the morning routine of the height especially, and yours is hilarious, Blake, is so outrageous, which is one of the reasons why it went viral.
I mean, the guy literally does nothing for the entire day. 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.

So Jack,

do you want to chime in here and do you have your Saratoga water,

Jack?

Well,

I already finished it on my way in.

So,

you know,

apologies to that as I do every morning. And then I limit myself.

I actually don't eat or drink anything until the next morning when I have

Thank you. way in.
So, you know, apologies to that as I do every morning. And then 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 Brad 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 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 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 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 do all the, you know, the MyPillow tweets and everything. But it turns out I actually love getting up early.
And I think it's awesome. I think having my morning routine, though, is and I've been this way since uh you know since a kid going to catholic school is just 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 off and onto my day i get up as early as i have to i i if i 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 later the night goes on than in the morning.
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. Absolutely.
It's somewhat problematic because I'll often literally be best after midnight. Sometimes I'll just get into a hum and I'm like, I'm riding this until I can't go anymore because I'm going really well.
It'll go until 3 a.m. and I still have to get up at 7, 7.30, something like that 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 p.m to reset everything and then reset the machine and back at it 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 p.m.

I have to.

And by the way, put up this on, put 331 up on screen.

This is, 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, 6 a.m.
wake-up call or like 5.30 or be able to stay up to 1 a.m., which would you choose? Where are you in a more flow state? 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 it's 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 I don't think that works for everybody.

Obviously, it's not for everyone, but I've always enjoyed that.

I usually run about four to six hours of sleep every night and that's about it.

Unless I'm like lifting a lot or something and then I tend to sleep more, but otherwise about four to six hours.

I do not actually function well on four to six hours. I'm of like a eight to ten hour guy i always have been but everyone's wired differently 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 like napoleon is like that if you read a napoleon biography He's awake at 2 a.m.
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 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 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 video kind of you know putting banana peels on his face 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 then they don't sleep enough. You know they have nap time in China? China, I'm not sure about China.
I know Japan is like this. Korea is 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 it will shame family if you it will leave really well i was gonna say when i shame and when i when i worked in uh in china so they would have like a nap time and you would get to the office you know normal time 8 a.m 9 a.m um and then there'd be a lunch hour and then typically and i would see this with my chinese colleagues that they would um 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 uh 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 and that's what they do and that's considered normal i i think time management is a lesser appreciated superpower of the elite yeah blake would you agree yeah yeah generally uh it's like you say with the whole like you know meme 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 philosophers.
The categorical imperative. Yeah, he wrote very important philosophy texts.
And every single day, he's clearly probably some type of autist where he wakes up, does the same thing every day, goes on his like two hour constitutional walk. But the actual time he spends writing the critique of pure reason, the actual 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 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 to ten—

He is prolific.

But if you can write five pages a day every single day, you're able to write two novels a year.

I think I just looked up how many books has Stephen King written. i think it's well over it's 65 that's published that's unbelievable that's published he's probably written at over 90 publications actually i mean that's just that's a he's probably written and yet at the same time again if you're able to write four to five pages a day on average and 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 workmanlike several pages a day i i was 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 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 is your master plan to like eventually like have a late night show 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 the the dream would be like three to six arizona time or six to nine eastern yeah 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 yeah it was plus it's the full day of news too so you get everything totally yeah exactly i mean when i worked with tucker the show was on uh for a while it was nine to yeah it was 80 for a while it was nine to ten that's rough that was very late and that shapes your whole day as a result um did you have to get back in the office at 9 a.m the next morning no no no we would come in in the afternoon yeah i would figure yeah generally uh 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 two 30 AM every single day. It screws, it screws up your entire system.
And then if you have doctor's appointments or stuff, it just like, forget it it just becomes a mess going back to the uh no daylight savings time issue it is problematic for late night people like us on the west coast because that's the so that's the reason why i was always up early or like four hours because i would stay up super late yep i would do all my turning point presentations everything else trainings everything 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 doing stuff on the East Coast. A really fun one was when I was at the Daily Caller, I would sometimes stay up turbo late.
And if you stay up late enough, you get the late night news that is actually tomorrow morning's news. Yes, that's right.
So you just write that up and you're ahead of the curve on all of that. Oh, I was always in the middle of like the next morning news.
Like I've always been that, you know. Yeah, but it's more intense when you're doing this on the East Coast itself.
I was not in Arizona for that. Yeah, that's true.
All right. Anything else on morning routines? We should have people send us morning routines.
If we get any funny ones, we could read it on next week's show or something. So question is breakfast or no breakfast debate, though.
I'm a no breakfast person. I'm a no breakfast person.
No breakfast. I just think the evidence has come in.
People are fat, eat less. That's right.
The best way to cut it out is to not eat breakfast. Correct.
If you can extend your fasting window, you're in a great spot. Eat the most in the middle of the day.
That's right. Yeah.
And then taper down on both ends. And you actually sleep better because you're not digesting food i just think it's such a waste of time i 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 that's right and it's like that's a lot charlie kirk here when faced with a threat you might think of lethal force but consider a less lethal option like Burna to avoid legal issues tied to firearms.
As a strong advocate for the right to bear arms, I value diverse defensive options, and Burna offers an effective alternative. Proudly assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Burna's less lethal pistol launchers loaded with tear gas and kinetic ammunition can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes, allowing you to safely escape or call for help while reducing the risk of severe injury.
Berna is about preventing tragedy and preserving life without the consequences of using lethal measures. It's legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks, and over 500,000 units are in the hands of responsible citizens and law enforcement.
Burna can be shipped directly to your door. I've personally tested the Burna pistol and can vouch for its effectiveness and its ease of use.

What is our, the next is the Pyramids of Giza. Is that right? Yeah, we got into this.
So, I mean, you guys can make the pitch to me what you think is going on here. Because I think my take is not very surprising.
But you guys have been sending it to me. This has been setting the internet ablaze.
Apparently there's an entire city underneath the pyramids. Is that right? Well, it's not right.
a it's not a city that the the experts like are speculating that it's a it's a power grid oh a power grid okay it is it is okay it's the only thing that makes sense the only thing that makes sense it's the only thing that makes only explanation i've watched at least for a long time videos are Or some kind of like like power generator yeah there's a guy who wrote a book about this i'm sure they've written books about it we love graham hancock yeah i'm very pro graham yeah so i so contextually it's that this news story is it i think it's they're italian it's like academics in 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 or shaft shaft extending beneath the pyramids thousands of feet they believe a mile or more i think it's like 150 stories like they're atop these pillars yeah and they just go down and then they wildly speculate that they may lead to a lost ancient city so that's what charlie's talking about and there might be a city underneath the power grid obviously and i mean that's i am curious so like let broaden. What was their morning routine? Yeah.
What was the Egyptians morning routine?

So the construction of the pyramids.

Mm hmm.

Do you think there was any like alien phenomenology behind the construction of any of these ancient structures?

No.

Do you think there's anything to the idea of how the pyramids are configured with like the gravitation like the suns or the no you think it's all just mile astronomy stuff i'll never you think it's just like a it's like a happy accident all the astronomical i will never forget watching the history channel once when it was converting to becoming the you know the aliens channel correct and they had a program on the pyramids and in passing as evidence of the pyramids 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 and the truth is is like people want to believe weird stuff there's always people looking to tell you weird stuff uh it's very funny if you read old like 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 is crazy. And 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 sails go through the roof, which is why they did it.
And it's the same thing with Egypt. People like pyramids.
They're big. They're impressive.
They're kind of strange. 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 uh i think my favorite that people don't know about is they built a giant uh 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 uh so you think all the alignment is either just happy accident because they have like Orion's belt alignment, the solar equinox alignment.
Yeah, all that's usually just woo woo. But it's real.
So is it just they just happen to put the pyramids there? Well, they have astronomy in ancient times, so they could conceivably be like, oh, we'll have the point of this pyramid line up with the star. And I don't know 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 i'm not saying there is there's something phenomenal after you know 5 000 years the pyramid like the stars actually move they shift where they are over 5 000 years 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 some sort of a alignment with the actual circumference of the earth that is true that is you heard about this one this one i have heard about this one i'm drawing from memory it's 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.
Yes. But the problem there is, while that is a very wacky coincidence.
Do you really think that is, I'm asking, is that just a coincidence? Did they have lines of latitude with coordinates in ancient Egypt? No, that's the point. That's the whole point.
So we're alleging like time travel not alleging like no we're we're asking we're in pursuit of no i mean 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 yeah aliens i guess but what do you have to say about for example some of the mayan temples and aztec temples? They didn't have the technology to even cut the rock the way that it was. We're talking about perfect cuts of a hundred foot stone.
How would that even be done? Apparently they did have the technology to do it. Tell me how.
I don't know how to quarry rock, but quarrying rock is a pretty ancient technology. The Greeks did it.
The Romans did it. This is why Blake's position is so problematic.
Oh. It's because if there's 1,000 feet of tubes underneath the pyramid, he can't actually just write it off.
I will say 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 wants to bet even odds that we won't have found. I'm not betting.
I just, there is some, in ancient civilizations, some of these structures defy some of our logic of what we knew existed at the time. Yeah, for sure, for sure.
So then we have to ask, how did they build them? For sure. 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 or and so you're thinking okay was this an actual city was this a site that like hunter gatherers? 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 a giant super city super city i think the great pyramids are pretty interesting as is without needing a giant city underneath i'm not even saying that i'm the city thing i'm agnostic on yeah how did they cut the stone to make the pyramid i don't know off the top of my head one crazy thing is i know from how far away the stone was there is were hundreds of miles away yeah 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 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 do you think so let me i'm

gonna ask you another one sure easter island uh what about it the heads who built them and how'd they get there uh 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 okay so just to be clear these like podunk backward island people. Yeah.
Built like 50 foot beautifully sculpted with what technology? I mean, they don't look that pretty. They're huge.
But then they, yeah, they did deforest their island until they like collapsed their civilization. Do not impugn the complexity of the Polynesians though.
Because they're crazy impressive when you read about what they can do. They're not quite Polynesia.
It's in South America. 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 of where they went.
Easter Island is part of Chile. It is, but it's Polynesians who settled it.
Well, that's the hypothesis, the southern route hypothesis. Yeah, there are alternative theories that South America settled the Pacific Islands.
Had people who settled before North America. Do you think the Easter Island one is really bizarre? 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 had no concept of north and south, for example, north, south, east, west, because why would they? Their concept of directions was oceanward 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 the uh 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 oh boy 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 so the nephilim built easter island 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 Teotihuacan or whatever they call it. It's not as if it's impossible, but it's definitely verging on, okay, these people were barely figured out how to grow corn.
Corn is a demon, though. I know.
So it gave them eldritch powers. But there is a demon though so i gave them gave them eldritch powers but there is a there's a symmetry to these ancient civilizations and then what are they all in common they all go like poof they build these insane things and they all now you want me to blow your mind what if that's our civilization we built some insane things charlie and are are we i could make an argument though that making the pyramids without electricity is like way more impressive than building the empire state building it might be like it actually is you know i'm saying like 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 so so the one that you mentioned really quick is the goeki tepe right i was just was just diving into some of this.
The statues there are eerily similar to that on Easter Island. You can roll your eyes all you want.
At that point. Okay, fine.
I mean, people are getting, they want to find connections. They'll be like, how did the Mayans and the Egyptians both build pyramids? Well, I kind of think like a is a kind of natural shape to build something in.
It goes towards a point that goes up to the sky. 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.
Oh yeah. And then all of a sudden poof,of no one builds this stuff anymore and they're everywhere they're all over the world we have one in vegas they're all over the world that's with but we have one in memphis that's a reproduction we had to like we had to basically like restart that's a reproduction and it didn't have a thousand store a hundred stories of uh energy producing producing technology underneath.

So Jack, where are you at on the Nephilim? Jack, I think it's very interesting. I, uh, I did a whole thing in, uh, when we went to Israel in 2022, we were 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.

One of the ones that I really like is that various kings and tribes throughout the Old Testament were actually like remnants of the Nephilim and that God actually sent the flood to wipe out the main portion of the Nephilim. And that's 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'd say Nephilim's 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 inside in the world to begin with.
I find it fascinating. I love that stuff.
So, Blake, you just ignore me. You just think it all is as we're told.
You know, I think 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 sakara which is another necropolis they have they have the step pyramid it's older so it's kind of layers it's 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 pyramid where they were building it and then apparently realized this isn't going to 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 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 4 000 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 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'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 let's go to mormon names oh we have remaining all right okay this is this is me and 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 uh they made a list last year and it was the top uh 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 um the original red state one that you sent over yeah okay so is it 305 is the chart here okay so i can't read it so someone posted in the chat so i can read the names here uh so what it is is they look at the – we get the names in each – the Social Security Administration tracks baby names. Right.
And one of the things that we can look at is – This is all Tyler, by the way. This is a master Tyler.
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 and only in red states like the crazy and there are some names that are like they're the reddest boy names and the reddest girl names so for example we have the reddest boy name so the most the reddest boy name that has at least a decent number of people getting it 72% percent and red states is cohen with a k uh and then in order we have baylor stetson kyson trip sutton briggs cohen again stetson i like that name uh gunner and baker then the girl one. This is why I called it Mormon names.

So much.

This is super Mormon.

So most red state girls names are Hattie.

No one.

Oakland.

No one. Oakley.

No one.

Gracelyn.

Yeah.

Renly.

Blakely.

Collins.

Oakley.

Again with a different spelling.

Sailor.

And Oakley again.

We have four different versions of Oakley or Oakland. 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 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 lot of, if you live in Arizona, you know that two, they have really good soda shops and they do like those dirty sodas, right? So dirty soda.
That's how they put cream in it. Right.
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.
There's it's what they'll do is they'll take a lot. Yeah.
We've got that one there. Taley.
It's like keeping up with the Joneses type mentality. What, where does this come from? Because Mormons all go to church together in the same neighborhood.
You have to live. You're forced.
So Mormons are subdivided and forced together. And there's a massive keeping up with each other.
And one of the elements of Mormon culture is 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 yeah that that's what's interesting to me is the way mormon names tend to work is it's like a mix and match yes they'll take a half there'll be like 10 start like they'll take a normal name and they'll split it in half that's right and then randomize it with another one you get it so you get it you can right in that someone had a chart or they'll take like a like a super like you know how like again a lot of 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 ammon uh is on there i can't really this.
That's hilarious. This chart I just said where it's like the mix and match.
A blogger came up with this a few years ago. But we have the A line.
So this is what you could start with. It's at the bottom of chat here.
But we have Mei, Kai, Tay, Bryn, Jay, Pin, and Cam. That's right.
You can start with that. And then we have Lee, C, Lin, Ler, Din, Sun, and Bree.
So right you can start with that and then we have lee c lin lur din son and brie so you know you could be uh brinson kinlin jay lee yeah may lee and macy you just got you got a million different ones here kai bry but then they can get really creative i found this old blog where they have uh they were tracking some some fun it was like their best of names from utah They say most Mormon name is Dallin, by the way.

Oh, yeah.

Dallin.

We can confirm that one.

Dallin is like a big, big, big.

We know a few Dallins.

That's like a historic one, though, right?

We know a few Dallins.

Are there 1800s Dallins?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

That goes way back.

All right.

But then the more recent ones, we have stuff like.

Well, I have top 10 here from Utah right now, too.

Oh. The boys' names.
And it cracks me up because you have all these like mormon names like hyrum brigham do they spell it that way usually don't hyrum usually isn't spelled that way that's like that's like hyrum mormon way to say okay so that's where it comes from but then then they have on their stockton because they name after John Stockton. We have to name our kids.

We name our kids after a slum in California.

Number nine on the list is Glade.

Glade?

That's like a geographical feature.

It's like a plug-in.

It's an air freshener.

I feel bad for those kids.

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, we'll 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 to Preborn will give a girl the truth of 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? 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 of years ago, this film was made at the height of wokeness.
And here's what's actually kind of funny about the new Snow White. So we all remember the traditional Snow White, the beautiful, you know, the skin as white as snow.
It's right there. Well, at the height of wokeness, Disney's Snow Woke came out.
out and as it turns out this was delayed due to covid and due to the writer's strikes and various other strikes that were going on in hollywood so this film that was made at 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 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'm 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, 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 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 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 sent a social media manager to Rachel Zegler to try to approve her posts 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 $100 plus or so on top of that in marketing this film only did 43 million dollars in its opening it's one of the weakest openings of any disney live action show it is uh one of the worst cinema scores and reviews on rotten tomatoes for any disney film this is a great example of look the worm has just turned the worm has 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 class i mean how do you screw up snow white it's like the most basic story just just take the story and put it all 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 many 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 on the new Snow White. 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 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. It's just it's just so avoidable.
I mean 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 charlie i i kind of there should be a shareholder lawsuit over this this is like a violation of fiduciary duty if they would have made mulan you know super white right like super caucasian that would have been a problem it it this is in in if they would have made the little mermaid again the right way people would have been like whatever those are all stories that are new stories that that are post Walt Disney's passing stories. To take something that was so 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 and the historic nature of this whole thing.

I mean, you can be a woke organization and 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 well said you have to hate yourself to do. Speaking of, a thing that intersects with this that annoys me a lot is part of the justification is they'll say Snow White's the oldest movie that's 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.
Like, it's very common to see people claim he was anti-Semitic. There's no evidence this was the case.
Zero. 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.
No evidence otherwise. Which, by the way, there were tons.
Some of some of the top animators had Jewish. Yeah.
Yeah. Backgrounds like tons.
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 Two 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.
Not just propaganda films. I know Donald Duck has to live in Nazi Germany.
What is it, Down with the Führer or something? Yeah, they also even made training movies, I believe. You can find animated training films, like how to aim your anti-aircraft gun.
I want to play, let's just wrap this up by playing third three 37 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 an, an, an, like get away, run away. This is complete red flag.
I was going to say something more, but I'm not going to. Play cut 337.
No longer 1937. She's not going to be saved by the prince.
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's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her.
Weird, weird. 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.

This is like the worst of genesis.

And therefore it's extremely dated when it comes to the ideas of women being in roles of power.

They paid $300 million to let the witch become Snow White. Gal Gadot is the witch.
And we didn't even talk about, too, the patriotism of Walt Disney. Walt Disney had plans to open up an Americana theme park.
It was supposed to be in Virginia. I think in Manassas, right? Yeah, in Virginia.
It was 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.

It was going to be like total Americana.

All the time periods.

The best.

All 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 all right, we have to run, everybody.
Keep committing thought crimes. I was going to 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. They watch out for Narnia.
It was we need to be careful. Narnia Netflix, Narnia.
I'm telling you guys, we got to protect Narnia. We have to.
The number that they said, Charlie, was I think it was a two hundred and seventy million dollars to make. And then they spent well over one hundred million dollars to promote.
So they've got to break probably four hundred million just to break even. That will be not even close.
Doesn't look like it. Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.
