My name is Charlie Kirk.
I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
College is a scam, everybody.
You got to stop sending your kids to college.
You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.
Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.
Go find out how your church can get involved.
Sign up and become an activist.
I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
Most important decision I ever made in my life.
And I encourage you to do the same.
Here I am.
Lord, use me.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to another Thursday edition of Thought Crime.
It is Thought Crime Thursday, and the Thought Crimes will always...
continue.
I am Jack Pasobic coming to you from the remote studio.
But back in Phoenix, I believe believe we've got two of my compatriots in person.
Who we got in Phoenix, guys?
We got Andrew Colvette and Tyler Boyer, who just made it in by the skin of his seat.
He weaseled in right into your intro with Memphis.
It's been a busy day.
No, he's wearing the Sun Devil hoodie thing.
Yeah, I don't know if you heard, but ASU defeated a top 10 team this week.
No big deal.
No big deal.
We're going back to the playoffs.
We're talking sports, Jack.
Just be happy about that.
We're talking sports.
No, no, that's, I mean, I'm happy for you.
No, I mean, I love you.
You know, I love you like more than a friend.
But
I'm just saying, it kind of just kind of looks like you got some birthday PJs because it was Tyler's big 4-0
yesterday.
So here we are.
Welcome to the club, buddy.
Yeah, ASU won a top 10 game.
And then yesterday for the opener, the Suns defeated the Sacramento Kings.
The Suns
are hot.
The Suns are hot.
For your birthday.
He's got the forkham hat on, which I literally thought said something else.
I got a high-five Devin Booker last night, so I'm going to.
Yeah, you got to be really careful when you read the Forkum hat, and when you say the Forkum hat.
Yeah, I was very careful to articulate.
You can be really careful.
People last year, it was, I mean, this is kind of thought-crimy.
Last year when ASU went to the Peach Bowl, they had stuck the fork inside the Peach Bow, and it was not a good visual.
That is is thought crimey.
This is a perfect time to bring up Cliff Maloney.
Cliff Maloney is also here.
He's streaming in from a remote location as well.
Where are you at?
I am in Pittsburgh, gentlemen.
I'm in Pittsburgh.
We're fighting a fight here in PA, but traversing all over the world, as you guys know.
No days to rest.
Well, we got 12 days till Election Day.
Thank you for all your hard work in New Jersey.
Yeah, why don't we start there?
It's not on the script.
Give us a quick Cliff's notes, which is pun intended.
Cliff's notion, I love the Cliff's notes.
Of
PA, but really
NJ and VA.
Yeah, so real quick in Pennsylvania, you know, we've decided to double down.
So the Pennsylvania Chase is not going to be a once every four-year thing, not every other year.
You know, it's a permanent infrastructure.
And obviously, you guys are, you know, three of the only people in the world that understand that and get what we're trying to do.
So we're knocking another 500,000 doors in Pennsylvania.
We've got 118 full-time people on the ground right now.
But as people do get distracted by shiny objects, New Jersey, we did launch the New Jersey Chase program.
And so we've got 105 additional folks in New Jersey, 10 Airbnbs throughout the state.
And this is my report on how it's looking.
If you would have asked me six months ago, I would have said, I'm not sure if Jack has a shot.
Jack Chitterelli has a shot.
And as Jack Pasovic would say, NJ is in play.
The numbers right now tell us we're about 5.5%
in a better position than Jack was four years ago when he was running for governor.
That's not enough to win.
I want to say this.
We've been as honest as we can be here when we get out to talk to some of our viewers.
That is not enough to win.
Jack is going to have to continue to climb with vote by mail.
And then most importantly, he's going to have to do very well with early voting and dominate election day.
But the good news is that this thing is a race.
It's dead heat.
We're seeing polling that's matching.
And so we've just got to finish the deal.
We've got 12 days to try to flip New Jersey, which I didn't think was in my vocabulary until about a couple months ago.
Wow.
That's awesome.
And by the way, not only to mention that, but your NJ Chase efforts are going to be bolstered because I believe Tyler Boyer made a pretty interesting turning point action first time ever announcement yesterday on his birthday.
What's up, Tyler?
Let's tee you up.
Give us the rundown.
We've got two big events, Super Chase events that we're doing in New Jersey.
So we want to make those as huge as possible.
I know, I think, Cliff, I think you're going to be there for them.
Yes, sir.
And so we're going to be driving as many volunteers as we possibly can
because our technology can support getting out people basically
in rapid speed out knocking doors and talking to voters.
And that's what we're going to need to do in the final week.
Yeah, we have the graphic and thought in the chat.
We'll grab it.
We'll throw it back up here so everyone can see it.
But those are those are two big events.
So you can go to tpaction.com/slash superchase/slash nj.
That's tpaction.com/slash superchase slash nj.
And if you're in the tri-state area, if you're in the South Jersey, Philadelphia area,
you know, Maryland, D.C.
area, yeah, there it is.
You can make your way up and come join us for both these events.
One's on Sunday, November 3rd at 3 p.m.
And one's on Monday, November 4th.
I'm sorry.
I'm blind.
I got it.
Sunday, November 2nd.
Yeah, at 3 p.m.
at 3 p.m.
And Monday, November 3rd at 4 p.m.
So I literally just did that same third or less week like 20 minutes ago, and I was talking to Tanya about something.
No announcements, but
I'm going to see if I can break away from family stuff because it's like Halloween weekend, but I'm going to see if I can break away to come to at least one of those.
I mean, it's so close, so I figure,
you know, sneak over, do something, and then sneak back.
And
we'll definitely see.
Because, look, NJ is the play, NJ is the thing.
And by the way, guys, we should all also mention, you know, since we're all here right now,
I'd love if we could all get together for Election Night next week.
Oh, yeah.
It's going to happen.
We will be broadcasting.
We will.
Yep.
Do not fear this show.
We'll be live.
We are broadcasting.
See, there's one big problem, though.
My crappy headquarters in Harrisburg, after the big win, we decided to give it a paint job.
So I can't fully reenact Election Night, but I will be in Harrisburg.
So I would love to join you guys.
There it is.
Mark it on your calendars, folks.
Mark it on your calendars.
We're going to get out.
I mean, I think there's very few better ways to honor Charlie Kirk than streaming on election night.
I mean, it's just, it's, it's basically written in stone at this point.
We will be streaming on election night, right, Jack?
Not only are we going to be streaming, but I'm going to be sitting right next to you, buddy, out there in Phoenix, right in my apportioned seat where I was one year ago.
And Andrew,
I'm bringing you another tasty cake.
Dude, I still got that tasty cake in my bag.
I want some wine.
That thing will last through the apocalypse.
And it never goes bad.
Yeah.
I think they sell them at mypatriotsupply.com
slash Kirk
because they will last over 25 years.
It doesn't matter if.
Tasty cakes are Philly tough.
They will not burn in a fire.
They will not.
Nope.
Nope.
No, you cannot destroy a tasty cake using conventional methods.
You can't flood it.
You can't burn it.
You can't.
While we're on the topic of New Jersey and we've got Cliff here.
Cliff, do you happen to know?
I'm sorry to just spring this on you.
Do you happen to know what the Democrat vote advantage was going into Election Day four years ago?
I'm not sure what it was.
I do know it's very different than Pennsylvania.
You know what I mean?
It's a much larger gap.
The current number, you're going to probably correct me, is what?
The registration gap set.
No, well, I mean, I'm talking about the actual returns.
Right now, the return advantage that Democrats have over Republicans is about 175,000 as of I think that was yesterday.
So that may have been today actually.
So that's yeah, that was my question was if you had handy what the number was heading into election day
what the advantage was for Democrats four years ago.
I can pull it up.
Yeah, but I can I can Yeah, I can pull it, but what I what I'll tell you that's interesting, and you guys know this because you operate in a bunch of states.
I don't operate in that many states, right?
Pennsylvania, the one thing that we do have is they're very transparent about requests, about returns by party, but even more importantly, the votes by method.
You know, New Jersey has kind of been fascinating because it's much, I mean, you can get to it, but it's much tougher to find.
But no, I'll pull that.
I mean, the thing I mentioned earlier, the 5.5%,
that is this far out from the election.
If you look at the returns by party, we are 5.5% better than we were.
I'm not sure where that is on raw, but to me, I like to look at the trends of the percentage because then it's based on, okay, not just what Republicans are returning, right?
But what are the Democrats doing as well?
But let me pull it.
Yeah, well, I'm just someone in the chat if you guys want to see
25 general, 24, 22, et cetera.
That's by county.
It's a lot of numbers, so I'm going to let Tyler do that.
But I believe the return rate is about neck and neck, and I have that out of Decision Desk.
So Michael Prusser over on Disc.
Look, we're already doing the election live stream.
Decision Desk has it at neck and neck, 50-50, with a Dem raw advantage at 174,000.
And Tyler, I know you were talking about this on the Charlie Kirk show yesterday, but look, if Republicans are going to win this, it's going to come down to that day of turnout.
It's going to come down to
really needing to just blow out.
And look, and here's the thing.
That was the same thing we did last year, right?
Republicans won on day of, but the difference was we came into Election Day with a bank of votes already built up.
That was the point of the PA chase.
That was the point of turning point action all across the targeted states of the swing states.
And so the seven swing states, we all remember them.
And the entire point was that if you come into election day with a bank of votes already, then you have your E-Day wave.
That can be enough to put you over the top.
Whereas before, we weren't banking those votes.
We weren't chasing.
We didn't have Cliff Maloney and the Maloney method to come out there.
It's like Maloney ball over here, where he's coming in and putting it all, you know, putting it all in bank so that we have something to actually springboard into.
And this is what Charlie talked about all the time in 2022.
And he could see it happening in real time that the Dems just kept dipping into that reserve, whereas we didn't have one.
Yeah.
And
this is what was the separator with us here in Arizona and why we felt so comfortable going into Election Day was we were trending about 5% to 6% ahead of the Democrats.
That was our goal was we wanted to remain upwards of 5% better than Democrats in early returns.
Talking about Arizona?
Yeah, and Arizona.
And so, I mean, that's, we're seeing that.
And I mean, that's, that's the name of the game, right?
Is get out ahead of the Democrats as on return percentage.
You know, you just mentioned,
Jack, that,
you know, the Democrat return percentage is reflecting very similar numbers to what the Republican return percentage is right now.
The Republicans have actually been out ahead of the Democrats up until this point.
Yeah,
they just closed that cap and matches.
Yeah, and Pruser said that was to be expected.
That's what he expected, anyways,
which is really interesting.
But
that's, I mean, name of the game moving forward, especially in these states, these states that we have to win.
If President Trump isn't successful at eliminating mail-in ballots in totality, you're going to have to chase them to stay out ahead of them in order to give ourselves the best chance possible on election day especially when again inclement weather can happen or you know if just people wake up on the wrong side of the bed that day you know national tragedy could happen uh you know just there's lots of things that can impact one election day uh which again i for you know everybody that's listening here i'm in full support of going back to how things used to run which is you know one big election day,
all the ballots.
We support the president completely on that.
But if it's not eliminated,
we have to unfortunately play by these stupid rules that have been put into place by leftists who have been trying to manipulate our elections now for decades.
So that's what we're up against in New Jersey.
Well, and here's what we'll be up against in January.
I saw a Michael Prusser tweet.
I just put it in the chat here, guys.
It says New Jersey vote by mail file is in for 1023.
Democrats flip the return rate margin, picking up 54 basis points and adding nearly 9,500 votes to their raw turnout lead.
So now you can see that Republican return rate is at 50.20%.
Democrat return rate just slightly higher at 50.26%.
And so the raw vote edge is about 175,000 for the Dems.
So he goes on to explain that
the day we all expected has arrived.
Democrats have now returned a higher rate of ballots and are likely to expand their lead to something around approximately 3% when all votes have been counted, including those that show up after Election Day.
Return pace will continue to slow as roughly 70% of all expected absentee ballots have been returned.
So, but that doesn't mean so.
It's all going to come down to Election Day, then, Jack.
And that's why these Super Chase
events, getting the rah-rah out, getting people aware,
making some noise, making some stinks.
So that's going to be huge, well-timed, because that's really going to be
where it's all determined.
This is Lane Schoenberger, Chief Investment Officer and Founding Partner of YReFi.
It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us.
His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come.
Now, here Charlie, in his own words, tell you about why ReFi.
I'm going to tell you guys about whyRefi.com.
That is YREFY.com.
WhyReFi is incredible.
Private student loan debt in America totals about $300 billion.
WhyReFi is refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans.
You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget.
Go to YRefi.com.
That is whyrefi.com.
If you have a co-borrower, YReFi can get them released from the loan.
You're going to skip a payment up to 12 times without penalty.
It may not be available in all 50 states.
Go to YReFi.com.
That is YREFY.com.
Let's face it, if you have distress or defaulted student loans, it can be overwhelming.
Because of private student loan debt, so many people feel stuck.
Go to YReFi.com.
That is Y-R-E-F-Y.com.
Private student loan debt relief, whyrefi.com.
Yeah, and hopefully we can also get some messages out to all the voters.
You know, in the name of turning point,
letting people know and reminding people to vote.
Election reminders are really important.
That's the work that Cliff's doing on the ground with njchase.org.
Go to njchase.org to follow what Cliff's doing and what his his organization is doing there.
But vote reminders are what is the most necessary thing.
Phone calls and texts.
Phone calls, texts.
You can download the Turning Point Action application right now.
You can join under Make Calls and send texts to do that and help with that.
There it is.
And so everybody that's within the sound of our voice, I know that we beat this thing like a drum and it feels like 2024 all over again when we say these things.
You know, we didn't get the job done enough in Wisconsin with the Supreme Court race.
We had put thousands of people on the ground doing this work.
It still wasn't enough.
The left has literally tens of thousands of people doing this work left over from Obama era where they have all these systems in place.
And so you have to get used to just doing this work and spending a little bit of time.
I call it like going to church every week.
You got to spend a few hours every week just doing the activist work as part of your lifestyle in America if you don't want the left to take over.
And it's the same as going to church, not the same as going to church.
Church is more important, but it's the same.
Not to the left, it's not.
It's the same type of commitment, which is that you
to the left, to the left, you know, and this, this is one of the reasons.
No, I do want to actually hit that because this is maybe a thought crime.
And I know it's not on the list, but who cares?
All right, this is what we do.
Going to, so like the no kings protests and you know, the phrase no kings, of course, comes from the French Revolution, no kings because they wanted to behead the king.
That was the point of saying it.
That for the right, going to church is your theological experience of the week.
That's where you get your emotion.
That's where you get your connection to God, your connection to community.
For the left, participating in mass protests is their way of going to church.
It is their theological activity of the week.
It is religious.
They have a religious fervor for doing so.
They believe that by taking part in it, that they are doing something for their religion.
And in fact, they are, because that is exactly what their belief system is.
That their commitment to progressivism is not beyond ideological.
It is, in fact, a theology.
It is a religious movement, and they believe it fully.
Jack, are you suggesting that leftists,
their ideology is beyond common sense, or it's nonsensical at times?
They're willing to bend the truth to fit into their ideology?
Well, it's a pagan religion.
It's a neo-pagan religion.
And
you see this certainly with
their worship of the earth, which goes back to Gaia worship and
old pagan religions.
You see it with their worship of, again, all earthly things because they don't actually believe in eternity.
So they have these pagan belief systems.
They also believe in crazy things that you can't see.
So they'll say, like, oh, you know, they'll say, oh, how come you can prove you, you say you believe in God and Jesus, but you can't see God and Jesus and angels.
And I say, okay, well, you guys say you believe in things like systemic racism and the wage gap, and none of those things exist in reality either.
Well, I was trying to, I was about to do the Harry Sisson head bob for you.
You know, because, you know, because
Andy's been sending me the bobble meme like 10 times a day.
I love the bobble meme.
Just Harry Sisson go.
Jack, Jack.
And show me on the meme, the bobblehead doll.
Show me on the bob.
The bobblehead doll.
And where the meme hurts you.
Guys, when he was doing that, and I was, like, like I was, you know, and Isabel Brown, the great Isabel Brown, was just going through chapter and verse because I was like, well, Kamala Harris did.
And he goes, when?
And she's reading it off.
And I see him doing this.
And honestly, and I mean this in all sincerity.
I thought he was having some kind of medical episode.
And I'm sitting there thinking,
is this guy okay?
Like, I hope he is.
I honestly, I hope he is because
I have no idea what just happened.
Wait, we have to do the one with Destiny.
Don't we have the one with the
same thing?
Destiny did the same thing?
I didn't see that.
No,
he had this weird like Twitch kind of thing where he was like looking off boneless posted.
He just tweeted both of them together, and you could see there's just this very strange behavior.
I don't even know.
The way I describe it from a lot of people out.
It's the theater kid created.
Yeah, a lot of people on the left, I find this thing where when they don't actually debate people that are
bright on the right or that are articulate, you know, when they're just kind of in their echo chamber and then they have to have a conversation, they just go to these weird emotions, right?
You like watch them in some of these interviews where they're just like,
they don't know how to articulate, right?
Because they're used to just getting a free pass and they're used to just hearing people praising them from their side.
That when somebody just calmly presents facts, they have a complete meltdown, they don't know how to react.
Hold on, you can tell that he might be a he might have been having a medical episode
play clip.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
Play it again, play it again one more time.
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, I love it.
Anyways, that's not what I was trying to give you an off-ramp to, though.
I don't like hearing, I don't like seeing his face and hearing the boing sound.
I don't like that.
So hold on.
So
that was a good moment, Jack.
You got the better of Harry Sistin there big time.
But here, I was trying to give you an off-ramp to Stephen A.
Smith.
I was trying to give you the off-ramp to Stephen A.
Smith talking about how when you bend reality to fit your ideology, you sound like a cuckoo bird.
And
this is the first thought crime today, right?
This is just a matter of time.
It is, and you're right.
Stephen A.
Smith did say that.
So I want to go back because we've got an update.
Everyone knows that we made the huge announcement, All-American Halftime Show, Turning Point USA.
Oh, we're going to go ahead and do that.
No announcement of lineup.
I know there's been a lot of
fake news and fake set lists and fake rumors about who's coming up and showing up and I may have participated in spreading some of that
through through
through but I you know I don't have any burner accounts I don't know what those things are but we did mention this and I want to go back because the genesis of this and I wanted to to point out that The reason I mentioned something about the halftime show wasn't in a vacuum because there is someone who used to talk about the Super Bowl halftime shows every single year.
I will vouch for you, Jack.
Every year,
Charlie would have to chime in at the halftime shows because he knew there were so many eyeballs on like Twitter, and now it's X.
And so he would chime in, and it was the funniest thing.
Every year
that he, you know, I was telling the guys that he would get madder and madder progressively as the years went on.
So this was, this was actually hilarious.
So he got so used to the halftime show being like a degenerate mess that he had sexual anarchy.
Yes, I'm telling the sexual anarchy story so here's what happened
so he basically uh
he basically
had a preloaded thought in his head if i could just say that it that it was going to be sexual anarchy well is this no no
okay
the so he had it in his head so and i think he was sitting with his dad and you know his dad kind of was riffing they were riffing on this idea together and what happened was i go away and this is at a point where charlie didn't have twitter loaded on his phone because he was trying to like purge himself from like it was a detox of of Twitter and so it was me and I think Daisy that like he would send his tweets to and then we would you know send him off for him at this point he called it like the the submarine where he takes two keys to fire off the uh the the the uh the the the weapon so so what happened the torpedo that's the word i was looking for so what happened was i'm you know it's super bowl i'm getting like a hot dog and i'm loading up my plate and the halftime show is going on.
And it's like the tamest halftime show in about a decade.
It was, it was, who was it?
It was,
it was the rappers, Dr.
Dre,
some of those guys.
And it was like, you know, the tamest, tamest halftime show.
And he puts his, he puts it in a group chat.
He's like, we need to hit sexual anarchy.
And I think the term was from David Engelhart, who's on the Turning Point Board, who had written a book about sexual anarchy or something.
So they were were riffing off.
It was in Charlie's head, and he fires it off.
And
I'm away from my phone for like five minutes, five minutes and a halftime, just getting food during the halftime show.
I look back at my phone because I opened Twitter and Charlie was already trending within five minutes of firing off this sexual anarchy.
Wait, was this Dr.
Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J.
Blige?
Yes, that was 2022.
Yeah, it was like a bunch of aged rappers who didn't
like sexual relationships came out.
Yes, but
so I was like, Charlie, why do we fire this?
Like, why are we doing this?
Oh, it was when 50 Cent came out.
It wasn't like that sexual, but Charlie was like dogged about it.
He was like, no, play the clip.
Play the clip back and like go frame by frame.
And he was, it was.
Was that the one that was at State Farm Stadium?
It could have been.
Yeah, it was.
It was the.
No, that was the year before.
No, no, no.
This was.
That was the year before.
It was in
California.
Right.
Because State Farm, where we had the memorial, was also...
So
who was the act?
It was Dr.
Dre, Snoop Drop, Snoop Drop.
It was Rihanna.
Rihanna was at State Farm.
I was there for it.
I watched the Eagles live.
Oh, I was like, I love how Cliff knows this right off the top of his head.
It was Rihanna, Jack.
Come on.
So, anyways,
so then he goes through clip by clip by clip, and he finds like one backup dancer.
Essentially, maybe twerking.
It's arguable.
And he's like, see, look at it.
Look at it.
Sexual anarchy.
He was determined to make his point.
He could not be moved off of this point.
And I think we, do we have the clip now?
359?
Okay, 359.
This is, I think, Charlie, the day after, you know, on the Monday after the Super Bowl, defending his take on sexual anarchy.
Look, the Super Bowl halftime show has a reputation.
People say it's a spicy program.
Okay, listen.
Spicy.
It's supposed to be boundary pushing.
When you have the most televised event, this is true, most televised event for the entire year, one of the most televised events on the planet, by the way, that should be a reflection of the virtue that hopefully you want society to embody.
See, he was still defending his take.
And actually, I have to say,
his defense of it is pretty spot on because you do have this very family, like there's a lot of families watching.
You have young kids, and Charlie would always say that on the show.
Like, if we ever got too spicy, especially on this show, because Jack would push him, he'd always be like, Remember, we have 11-year-olds watching this.
There's 12-year-olds that watch this.
Don't forget them, too, right?
So, it's a lot of college kids and all this stuff, and young adults.
Wow, passing the heat to Posso, passing all the heat to the yeah.
Well, you did push, that was you.
You know, I may have gotten him into trouble with like media matters more and patriot takes, but you got you, you pushed the boundaries in other ways, Jack.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I was definitely not responsible for the public literacy meltdown.
Yeah, so but
we should say, Jack, that the
all the fake,
you know, there's, I've seen a bunch of lineups for the halftime show.
Talks are ongoing.
There are no officials.
Yeah, we haven't made any announcements.
Yes.
So I just want to reiterate: underscore bold, italic.
But we're talking about how there was an announcement that came out about the Super Bowl halftime show from Roger Goodell.
I have no idea which number of the clip it is, but I guess can we play the Roger Goodell clip?
324.
Decision to choose Bad Bunny as your Super Bowl halftime performer.
He's one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world.
That's what we try to achieve.
It's an important stage for us.
It's an important element to the entertainment value.
It's carefully thought through.
I would say that I'm not sure we've ever selected an artist where we didn't have some blowback or criticism.
It's pretty hard to do it when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching.
But we're confident it's going to be a great show and that
he understands the platform that he's on.
And
I think it's going to be exciting and a united moment.
Uniting moment.
A unit moment.
A uniting moment.
Let it in there.
So there's Roger Goodell, the great, everybody loves him so much, saying that Bad Bunny is going to be uniting.
And so, again, I don't have the clip sheet, but there's a Bad Bunny clip that I wasn't even aware of this until we were doing the show prep for Thought Crime tonight.
This is the
Bad Bunny.
Andrew, if you have the list, go for it because this is the Bad Bunny Statue of Liberty clip.
Did you guys even know about this?
347.
I made a mistake.
I want to apologize to the immigrants in America.
I'm in the United States.
I know America is the whole continent.
I want to say that this country is nothing without the immigrants.
This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans, Winsan.
So that's a bad bunny video/slash stunt that he put out just three months ago.
Where, and for those of you who are just listening, when that starts out, there's an image of the Statue of Liberty with the, with, I guess it's Bad Bunny up there, like he's Ghostbusters 2, and he's putting the
Puerto Rican flag over the Statue of Liberty, and then it cuts, smash cuts to a bunch of guys sitting around a radio and listening as if it's like the 1980s, again, Ghostbusters 2,
in, you know, like in Brooklyn or something, or the Bronx.
And it's like this AI Trump apologizing to Mexicans and his.
This is just bizarre.
This is so bizarre to me.
That immigrants
would be nothing without Mexicans and Puerto Ricans and all this stuff.
And by the way, Puerto Ricans are American, it should be said.
I mean,
it's a territory of
American citizens.
They're American citizens, yeah.
They speak Spanish, but a lot, most of them do speak English.
Let's have some real thought crimes, boys.
But I mean, here, it is kind of annoying.
The biggest thing I think, it's like when he says it's going to to be unifying well, I mean, okay, but you probably should have talked to Bad Bunny about that first, Roger, you buffoon, because, you know, he came out and he instantly was like, I don't, I'm not going to speak English, and you guys all have four months to learn Spanish.
So, I mean, I think the message is pretty clear, you know?
And this is the problem.
I mean, Roger Goodell is trying to take both sides.
It's either A, he's tone deaf, or B, he's an idiot.
It's 2025, right?
We just had this major referendum in the country.
You have to research these these artists and understand that if they're going to take certain positions, you know, you're going to have to deal with that blowback.
So you can't act like this is not a political thing when the guys put out videos like that, put out statements like that.
But I mean, to me, it's, it's, they just always play to the mob of never wanting to offend anybody except the American right.
I mean, why are we always the ones that have to kind of be offended?
They have to push us.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
Well, the only thing unifying about Roger Goodell is that everybody hates Roger Goodell, and that's the most unifying thing in America.
And so Roger Goodell being a teammate with Bad Bunny just like villainizes the halftime show even more.
And so I'm all about it.
Like, we need more Roger Goodell going out in public and saying how much he endorses Bad Bunny.
The more you talk, Roger,
the better it gets for the All-American Halftime Show.
Many of us are hopeful about the direction the country is headed, but after years of abuse and mismanagement, things could fall apart at any moment.
That's why I and Americans from all walks of life have taken action to prepare for what's coming next.
And that starts with having an emergency food supply.
Storing food in your home is the right thing to do because we're living in crazy times, which explains why so many people are preparing.
Right now, you can get ready too with a three-month emergency food kit from my Patriot Supply.
It comes with delicious foods like creamy stroganoff, honey wheat bread, and mushroom rice pilaf.
The entire kit offers over 2,000 calories a day.
This food kit lasts up to 25 years.
Who knows what our country will look like then, but when that day comes, you'll be ready.
Now, hear from Charlie in his own words.
Just go to mypatriotsupply.com/slash K-I-R-K and join millions of Americans who are preparing today at mypatriotsupply.com/slash Kirk.
That is mypatriotsupply.com/slash Kirk.
Think about this.
Think about this.
He had to come out and give a statement about Bad Bunny because of TPUSA.
And that just shows the power and the strength of TPUSA and what Charlie and what Tyler and then Andrew tried to clean up some of the messes here and there.
Obviously, he wasn't able to clean up much on his own part.
But that's okay.
No one's perfect.
And
it just shows the power of what Charlie built, right?
It shows the power of this movement and shows the power of what TPUSA is because
you've got the commissioner of the NFL has to come out and give a statement saying that we're going to stick with Bad Bunny because legitimately people just don't like this guy.
He's not a uniter.
He's obviously there because they signed this George Floyd era contract with Jay-Z, who's Barack Obama's best friend.
And that's why Bad Bunny gets put into
these top Netflix movies like Happy Gilmore 2.
All of a sudden, he's Happy Gilmore's caddy and not the guy who was in the original movie.
And then suddenly he's also at the NFL's halftime show.
It's like, this is just such an obvious corporate play and it looks really, really bad.
And no, people are going to be sick of it.
And they're going to tune out.
And they are going to tune in to TPUSA.
And you know what happened?
I say, hey, guys, let's see.
Let's see how it goes.
Jack, that's not true.
Because I'm on TikTok.
If you look at TikTok, there's a bunch of people that say, like, I just can't even
with turning point.
Okay.
I just can't even.
346.
Wait, you guys, I just saw the alternative halftime show thing.
I'm not kidding.
I thought it was a joke because I I kind of saw it on TikTok and was like, oh, they're trolling, like, whatever.
I didn't know they're actually having an alternative halftime show for people who are racist.
That is so.
Can you imagine the people watching that?
Not only racist and like hateful, but could not catch a vibe if their life depended on it.
The most vanilla, unseasoned losers on the planet.
What is going on?
And they're proud of it.
Do we are there more of those?
Or there are like TikTok videos?
Yeah, absolutely.
You want to lib Karen?
Can't function.
I never want to learn Spanish more.
This is
so 344.
Charlie Kirk's Network just announced that they're going to have a rival
halftime show
and all-American
rival halftime show.
Puerto Rico
United States territory.
Puerto Ricans.
She rolled her arms.
Citizens.
I have never wanted to learn Spanish more.
Wait, Cliff, that's what you just said, that they don't actually
use articulation and logic.
They just have this like weird, emotional theatrical performances.
Cliff Maloney just said it a minute ago.
She just did it.
Yeah.
And listen, I mean, she takes that video.
She loves that it goes viral.
And then what does she do with it?
You know, she goes to her other liberal women in the area.
They sip on their wine and they talk about how they're, you know, they're the virtuous ones.
I mean, that's what these folks actually believe.
It is a sickness.
I mean, it is a deep, deep mental problem that these folks have.
And I don't know how you fix it.
I mean, they believe what they're saying.
There is conviction in what she's saying.
I think she's looney tunes.
But that's, you know, this is a deeper problem than we want to give it credit for.
And by the way, I'm going to have a little bit of a pickle here, guys.
I made a promise, I made a pact that I would be at every Eagles Super Bowl.
So if the Eagles get to the Super Bowl, we might have a problem where I've got to, you know, just decide where my allegiances are.
So we'll didn't they have to so it's like by the way, so like, um, you know, I might be Polish, but I did play Bernardo in Westride's story.
So I think I know a little bit about
Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico
and and the
Puerto Rico.
But the, the, there's a whole song in Westside Story about like Puerto Ricans coming to, the whole musical is literally about Puerto Ricans coming to America and they're like dumping on Puerto Rico.
And I think for the movie, they had to like sanitize the lyrics.
I think, is that Ariana Grande?
She plays the,
I can't remember.
In the movie, they had to totally change it because they were like, okay, this goes a little, I think it's Rogers and Hammerstein as the original.
And they're like, this goes a little bit too hard on Puerto Rico.
Like, you, you, you lousy island
everything.
Puerto Rico.
I want to pull up the lyrics to that, actually.
And then, like, dumping on it.
So it's like, like, the question of is Puerto Rico American is a legitimate question, right?
Yes, we know that they are U.S.
citizens.
We get that.
But I don't think it's illegitimate.
And by the way, we are not saying that either.
Like, that's when we say all-American, we just mean all-American.
It's like USA, baby.
But it's the same deal with, like,
I served in Guam a couple of times.
Guam's U.S.
territory, but it's got its own unique culture.
And I'm just saying there's a difference when you're born in the, the, you know, an actual part of the United States that is connected to other parts of the United States when there's none.
It speaks English.
But hold on, I just have to do it.
You speak the language.
Well, but yeah, but she's trying right here.
Yeah, 360.
Puerto Rico.
Play that again.
Puerto Rico.
One more time.
Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico.
I give her an A for effort and a C- for delivery.
I have a new bet for you, Cliff.
If the Eagles don't go to the Super Bowl, I think you should still have to go to the Super Bowl, but you have to wear a Puerto Rican jumpsuit.
Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico.
I've got the jumpsuit.
I might be there with you, man.
I don't know.
Oh, come on, Jack.
This whole thing is your fault.
This is all Jack's fault.
He memed this thing into existence.
Next thing I know,
I'm getting emails from legitimate press outlets going, like, is Turning Point USA really planning its own halftime show?
And I was like, well, shoot.
And then our inbox
flooded it.
I was flooded.
No, if the Eagles don't go to the Super Bowl, we're all going to enjoy the alternative halftime show together.
And you guys have to go to the Super Bowl.
You have to pay for the tickets, and you have to celebrate Bad Bunny.
That's like the you have to dress up and drag.
You have to dress up and
how about this Puerto Rican drag.
Actually, actually, because your team is in the real,
even in the movie version, the Stevens, even in the
Spielberg film, she does actually sing, Puerto Rico, my heart's devotion, let it sink back in the ocean.
Puerto Rico.
In the 2021 woke era version.
And that's still pretty hard.
Because the whole point is like they don't like the island and they want to be in America.
There's a whole song about this.
Like, you're the Libs.
This is your Broadway.
This is your God.
This is your temple.
I know your lyrics.
I was the guy at Shakespeare in the Park.
Okay.
I know how this works.
You have a whole musical about hating Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico.
We have a
Rumble Rant
from Zuzu's Pedals, which, again, we love Zuzu's Pedals.
I want Jelly Roll.
I want Jelly Roll and Brandon Lake singing Hard Fought Hallelujah at the All-American Halftime Show.
Request.
Jellyroll lost a ton of weight.
Have you guys seen that?
Yeah, I have.
He's a good Christian guy, too.
I saw Jelly Roll last year at SummerSlam because he performed at WWE SummerSlam and I was there in Cleveland.
True story.
All right.
Well, say, I want to talk about this Stephen A.
Smith.
I've been chomping at the bit to get to it.
So can I, should I give the, should I give the primer and then we dive into it a little bit?
So explain, yeah.
So explain this, because there was this, you know, I guess we're doing sports today, and this is like such a Charlie story.
Cash Patel pops up in New York City today, and he gives this, I love what you said about it too, Andrew, earlier, where it's like, this is just like a story that you think would happen in like normal America, like
pre-insanity America.
Yep.
It was exactly, that's exactly what it felt like.
It was like, oh, we're, you know, there's mafia ties, there's, there's a legal throwing of games.
Like, so this one guy from the Miami Heat was in 2023, was basically, if you don't know, it's a prop bet that you can make on some of these platforms, whatever.
A prop bet is an individual, you're betting on the individual's performance, right?
How many points he's going to score over or under, how many assists, how many steals, whatever.
And so basically he says that his ankle is hurt.
He goes out after the first 10 minutes.
So of course, if you bet the under on his performance and he only played 10 minutes, you're probably going to win that bet.
But then there was also like Chauncey Billops, who's the head coach of the Portland Trailblazers.
He's apparently been implicated in an illegal poker scheme that's been coordinated with the mafia and they're using like x-ray and high-tech devices to cheat at poker, these high-stakes games.
And they were using Chauncey Billips, Hall of Famer, now current coach, as
the fishing expedition to bring in the big, the high-net worth people.
Because if you hear, oh, NBA Hall of Famers involved in this, it must be legit.
It's going to be good, good games.
And so, you know, all in, there's 34 people that have been implicated and arrested by the FBI in this.
And here's the funny part: Jack, the investigation started in 2023.
Who was the president in 2023?
Joe Biden.
Well, the correct answer is a lot of people.
A lot of the Audipen.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Sorry, it was the Audipen.
You missed that one.
That's fine.
I said.
I totally missed that one.
Fix it.
Fix it in post.
It was the autopen, Andrew.
Yeah, exactly.
So, like, listen,
let's even take Cash Patel out of it.
This is the New York FBI Assistant Director Christopher Raya talking about this.
3-11.
Victims were attracted to play alongside well-known professional athletes and coaches like Chauncey Phillips, only to be unknowingly deceived through rigged shuffling machines, fixing the odds in their favor, as alleged, and as you just heard from the U.S.
Attorney's Office.
This alleged scheme wreaked havoc across the nation, exploiting the notoriety of some and the wallets of many to fund the Italian crime families.
Yeah, and so here, here's what's crazy.
You got the Bonano crime family, the Gambino crime family, the Genovese crime family, the Lucese crime family.
So, this is like a whole like mafia.
They use like RICO statutes to do this.
You know, we've talked a lot about how RICO statutes are out of date.
If you're going to go after Antifa because they're decentralized, well, the mafia has a hierarchy.
RICO statutes can apply.
So, then,
oh, okay.
Go ahead.
No, I was just going to throw in, we really got to talk about some of the ways that they were cheating, right?
You know, especially some of the game cheating, the, you know, the
x-ray poker tables.
I mean, we all know Cliff Maloney is a world poker champion.
I don't know if he's ever used x-ray poker tables.
Maybe he's got some kind of like x-ray reflector in his hat.
That's why he always wears a hat.
So he's able to, oh, gosh, guys, why you got to do that to Cliff?
Why you got to do that to Cliff?
Look at Cliff.
Oh, come on.
Come on.
Look, you're letting all my vices show here.
So, look, here's my advice to any poker players out there.
And there are a bunch on the right.
It's kind of an interesting community.
But my advice is this.
Do not play any type of high-end home games.
So you have tournaments that are, you know, overseen by casinos, professionals.
They've obviously got regulations.
And then you've got these home games.
I know a lot of really good players that find themselves in some of these home games.
And of course, I mean, when you're talking tens of thousands of dollars, they're going to rig some of these games.
I mean, they're so profitable.
But that photo there was was a World Poker Tour event I won in 2022.
I don't talk about it too often because I'm not contiminating doors, but that is my advice.
I love the competition of poker, tournament poker specifically.
It's an even game.
Everybody starts, but it's
do not play home games unless you know the folks running them.
Yeah, because apparently you get x-ray tables that can see the cards that you're putting down.
That's amazing.
If you watch any of the television tables now, so I've been to the TV table maybe two or three times.
The way it works is literally, and that's the same stuff I guarantee you they were using.
Is when you put your cards face down, it's able to read them through the table.
So, like, as you're on the TV table, you have to wear the microphone, but one of the rules is you have to place your cards on like this four-inch by four-inch area, and it's reading your cards through x-rays or through some sort of sensors.
So, it's not like this is new technology, it's just that obviously that's very regulated, but that's what these folks are using to go out and swindle these people out of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

ESBN's own Stephen A.
Smith felt just,
I don't know, emboldened
to bend the facts to fit an ideology, Jack, just to full circle it for you, and literally gave one of the dumbest takes I have ever heard in the history, let's just say modern politics, because I'm sure, you know, I'm not going back to the Civil War, but in the modern politics, this is literally one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
352.
Don't beast Trump is coming.
He's coming.
It's not hyperbolic.
It's not hyperbole.
I'm dead serious.
He's coming.
I'm just giving you the message.
I'm telling you what I know, meaning what has been told to me.
Not by him, because I don't talk to him, and I don't agree with him, and I didn't vote for him.
But you must understand,
this is the climate.
He ain't messing around.
So he goes on this diatribe basically saying.
What does that even mean?
No, he's saying that Trump is coming for the league.
He's saying that because the NBA is filled with black men that typically, I guess, don't like him or that have been activists against him, that this is all a revenge tour.
This is Trump coming for the FBI, and the FBI sicking his FBI on the NBA out of revenge.
He's coming for sports.
This was Trump revenge.
Like, literally nothing to do with President Trump.
The FBI started this investigation in 2023 when this guy from the Miami Heat...
went down and there was tweets about it online that, hey, I heard he's going to go down with an ankle injury.
Like, take the under on the prop bet.
And so then that got out, and so they start looking into it, and they realize there's a lot going on in the NBA, and there's all these people indicted.
And, you know,
it's one of those things.
And Angelo just
pointed out there's a guy named Damon Jones, an unofficial assistant coach of the Lakers in 2022, the time of the incident.
He's since retired, but probably committed the most egregious of all these violations.
He allegedly sold at one of the games the information that Braun James wouldn't be playing the following day, which then led to big bets and big wins for some of the players at the game.
So that was
one.
So you could, and you start wondering about this.
And Cliff, you probably know this as well.
And actually, you follow the NBA with your sons, but there's a new concept in the NBA called,
like, what is it, load sharing or something?
Like, working, you know, you reduce their load.
So you're constantly load management.
That's the expression.
Load management.
So load management.
So
they've got this whole concept where, well, we got this load management because we want to save LeBron's legs so he's fresh in the playoffs or whatever.
How much load management is going on that's actually just illicit gambling over unders on prop bets?
Yeah.
Because you're going to sit your best players to keep them fresh for the, you know, for the playoffs.
Or the tougher games.
Or maybe you're actually just working a side angle and there's a side hustle and you know something that other people don't know.
And you know you're only going to play LeBron James about 15 minutes that night and you're going to take the under.
And a guy that usually is like a triple-double, well, you could take the under on that pretty well.
Yep.
So, I mean, I'm just saying the NBA is obviously the most shoddy and corrupt of all the sports leagues.
You could make an argument about any of them, sure.
But this is like really damning to the NBA.
And here you got Stephen A.
Smith coming out and making a completely deranged argument.
This is Trump's vengeance tour against the black man or something.
I don't know where he's getting off on this, but it's completely unhinged.
Well, it's twofold.
So, one, I think there's the racist attack against Trump, which is the obvious one.
The second, though, that's the least less obvious one, is if you remember back in the election,
the president had kind of some really fierce words for the owners, the NBA owners.
Yeah.
And for a lot of the big sports.
It wasn't just NBA, it was all the major sports.
Because
I believe there's a belief that exists, which is true, that the sports franchises, which a lot of them are conservatives that run them, a lot of them are alleged conservatives, are scared of their player base and some of their fan base.
And they initiated all this really anti-vicious anti-Trump rhetoric throughout the years that the president served in his first administration and in the years during the whole fake autopin
presidency, right?
So you had coming into 2024, I think there were some statements.
I'll have to pull them, but there were some statements that the president made that was like, yeah, well,
basically
the
sports owners are going to have to pay their dues
somewhere along the lines.
So there's not a ton of love lost, I think, in the sports.
So you're saying there is credence to what Stephen A.
Smith is saying.
No, I'm not saying there's credence.
I'm saying that
the angle that I think he's speaking to is the one that you're mentioning, which is that Trump is racist.
I'm speaking to what you're talking about.
There's like some, there's some like Trump vengeance to it.
And he's like, I'm going to get these owners.
But there is some vengeance.
Yeah, the best part is that he's not really making any point.
Right.
He reminds me kind of of Mark Cuban when Mark Cuban would come out and like, you know, always feel like he had to have some hot take just to be edgy and to kind of always have this rumor of like a third party presidency or the celebrity running for president.
Just, you don't have to have a hot take on every single issue, right?
Everything is not about racism.
Everything is not about being the guy that has the cool takes that you can get the clicks.
And you listen to what he said.
He's like saying six different things at once.
But as long as he can take a stand against Trump, he's trying to tap into some weird base.
So I just, I love when these people feel like they always have to talk.
Sometimes what they have to say is not interesting.
And this is one of those cases with Stephen A.
Well, so my take on it is that he
has been floating a political run of some type, right?
Like, is he going to go for president or something?
And he got a little Trump-friendly
in the 2024 race.
He got a little like, hey, Democrats,
you're being stupid.
All this law fair.
It's going to come back to bite you.
And then, you know, with the assassination, I think he saw the writing on the wall, kind of, kind of cozied up.
to a centrist common sense position, took a bunch of flack, and now he's he's flexing his progressive bona fides by coming after Trump.
I think you're totally right.
So the the um
the well, okay, so here's here's my next point though.
I'm so excited to go after Stephen A.
Smith, and I'll tell you why.
And Jack, you know this clip.
I was at this News Nation town hall event.
Chris Cuomo invited me.
I was like, he was like, it's going to be this really peaceful thing.
It's going to be conversation is the cure.
We're going to just, it's just going to be be a discussion.
It's not going to be high intensity or whatever.
Next thing I know, I get there and they're like, hey, we had to move some things around.
You're with this Midas Touch kid.
I was like, what's his name?
Never heard of him.
Guess his name's Adam.
So I have to go sit there.
And next, within like a minute of being on stage.
Come back from a commercial break.
A minute on stage.
They give me the first word.
I'm like, hey, progressives are prone to political violence.
All the polls show it.
Boom.
He comes at me and goes, he goes, well, do you disavow the young Republican group chat?
And I was like, Whoa, hold on, Mr.
Energy.
You're like, your energy's making my skin crawl.
Like, this, like, this is not constructive.
I'm not going to do your disavow Olympics.
And then he looks over to the panel, which was Bill O'Reilly, Chris Cuomo, and like Stephen A.
Smith.
I think Joe Manchin was there, maybe.
I can't remember.
He looks over, and Stephen A.
goes, hell yes, and like just totally throws me under the bus.
So I'm very excited to show this clip now that Stephen A.
is proving to himself and showing his true colors.
Play cut 363.
There has been a trend of, I think,
you know, let's just say, let's be gracious and say in the ear of Trump, maybe it's a reaction to Trump.
I'm open to those discussions, but there is a justification for political violence.
It shows up in every poll, and it's coming from progressives.
And just think about this.
We saw these Nazi group chats, which I'm sure you condemn, right?
This Nazi group chat.
Well, we can talk about it.
Do you condemn it?
I want to talk about it.
Wait, so when they said gas chambers,
when they say gas chambers, you won't, so you're like J.D.
Vance.
You just won't condemn this?
Well, I actually had the kitty on the show today.
We had a whole conversation.
You guys can all condemn this, right?
The go-yes.
Thank you.
Oh, look at that.
Stephen A.
Smith.
Hell yes.
Ah.
The go-yes.
That was your finest moment.
Andrew, that was your finest moment.
Could have been, you know,
I would almost give you an A, but it's got to be an A-.
I have notes for my.
It's got to be an A-minus because I have notes.
It could have been a little bit more.
Well, you could have shut him down a little more because it's like, I don't answer to you.
I'm not going to play your little struggle session game.
Well, again, it's really good.
It caught me off guard.
Chris Cuomo reeled me in, saying it was going to be this peaceful, sweet thing.
And next thing I know, this kid's coming at me.
Oh, he totally did.
And to be fair to Chris, Chris ended up having him.
I think Chris was offended for me.
He sent me a nice note afterwards.
And then he had the kid on his show the next night.
And he basically was like, you know what you were doing.
You were trying to get that clip and you trying to call him a Nazi.
And I don't think the Midas Touch guys are very happy with Chris Carlos.
They're like, oh, yes.
Yes.
Why is that like boomer?
Why is it like echoey boomer?
Anyways, so it was a funny, like, unspoken thing that happened in that moment where I was like,
freaking Stephen A.
Smith just like chimes in out of nowhere.
Like, he's got a role to play in this exchange.
Hell yes.
And I just remember going, like, man, screw that guy.
Like, what?
Come on.
And I'm sure Stephen A.
Smith
has also condemned Jay Jones, right?
Oh, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
Probably called for him to.
Not just rhetoric, but specific descriptions of violence to Republican children.
Yeah, well, I'm sure he's
called him to drop out of the race.
I'm sure of it.
I'm sure we can find that.
Yeah, I'm sure of it.
I mean, honestly, for all I know, he has.
I mean, I just like, but the point is, I had a bone to pick with Stephen A.
Smith.
So when he's coming in here with this vast conspiracy, 34 arrests, and they say it's just the tip of the iceberg.
It's an ongoing investigation.
We all can see the flops.
We can all see the like the calls, the five steps, no traveling calls.
Excuse me, the NBA is a complete S show.
I mean, the whole thing is just a total mess.
And for him to come out and not say, you know what, I'm ashamed of this coach.
I'm ashamed of these players for throwing games and faking injuries for bets that you have disgraced the league.
You've tarnished the reputation.
This is a league I love.
No, instead of that, instead of trying to hold them accountable, he takes it and turns it on Trump.
All these people are doing all these illegal things, swindling millions and millions and millions of dollars out of people's pockets, innocent people.
And that's his take, that it's Trump's fault.
Truly mind-blowing.
Hey, hey, hey.
It do be like that, Mr.
Colvet.
It do be like that.
Echo, yes.
Why is it echoey?
I don't get it.
Why is it like the voice?
Why is like the Stephen A.
Smith voice of God
to echo?
I don't know.
Because it's probably more appropriate to his actual ego.
So, yeah, that's about right.
No, I suppose.
Look, guys, I know some of you guys have heart outs.

You know, as we know, Blake is on assignment in Italy.
Reports are that he has joined a nunnery.
So we're, you know, we're going to, we're not really sure if that's taking.
Obviously, the Catholic Church has rejected male nuns for a long time, but hey, we're, we're, I guess times change.
So female priests, and uh, Blake is trying to break the barrier and be the first male nun.
So, you know, I just
off to hats off to Blake, and I, you know, just really pray.
Hats off.
off.
I mean, speaking of hats off, can we get that Cliff Maloney poker?
No!
You're doing Cliff dirty.
You're doing him dirty.
There he is.
There he is.
That's a terrible Photoshop.
Who Photoshopped that?
That's a tough crowd.
Everybody's a critic.
I'm enjoying the trophy.
All right.
It's obviously not real.
That's great.
You should just bake it like Blake does, man.
Just bake it straight up.
Blake
is very proud of his ball.
I think Blake went bald, like started going bald when he was a teenager.
it was one of those stories.
So, well, then we met
that guy from Tijuana, and he was like, he was like, he was like, you must come to Tijuana.
Look at this.
And he was pointing at his hair that one night.
I don't remember this, but I'm sure.
You were literally sitting right next to me.
There it is, Cliff.
You're hanging in.
Hold on, we'll give it.
Don't let it in.
We'll give it two more months.
Don't really make fun of that.
You're hanging in.
You're hanging in.
He's hanging in.
He's hanging in by a thread.
Terrible.
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, go out there and commit more
thought crime.
