**Charlie Kirk** (0:03)
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.

**Andrew Colvet** (1:17)
All right. Welcome, everybody. It is Monday, August 24th, 2026 We are here at the Y Reef High Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. Had a great weekend. How are we doing, Blake?

**Blake** (1:26)
We're doing great. I'm already in a great mood because I know we're going to get our weekly WNBA segment already.

**Andrew Colvet** (1:32)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:34)
Yeah, there was some news base. Multiple things happened.

**Andrew Colvet** (1:35)
Ennis Cantor Freedom. We're going to get him on the show, by the way.

**Blake** (1:38)
And we got to talk about the Toronto Mascot. I'm really excited about that one. You already forgot about that.

**Andrew Colvet** (1:44)
I did.

**Blake** (1:44)
We have a backlog of insane WNBA drama stories.

**Andrew Colvet** (1:48)
We know most of you tune in just because we covered the WNBA like nobody else around here.
But first, we got to get into some other news here. Now, I call this the Spencer Pratt enters the fray Monday, okay? Because this is a big new development. Now, I've always really respected Spencer Pratt. Actually, you know it's funny. I have some, not directly, but like a friend group removed connection to Spencer Pratt and his wife, which I only found out recently.

**Blake** (2:18)
You have a lot of removes. You are at zero degrees of separation from Taylor Swift.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:23)
I remember you talked about that.

**Andrew Colvet** (2:25)
True story. True story. Anyway, Spencer Pratt comes out with a big new video. It's one of those like 10 minute videos that Spencer Pratt, and he's monologuing to the camera. It would be like when Tucker would do his monologue for 10, 15 minutes on Fox, but it's even more produced, and it's very visually stunning. He enters the fray because he is very upset, as many of you are as we are, about this unhinged, let's just call it TikTok brain, therapy brain, whatever it is of women getting behind Lindsay Clancy, raising over a million dollars for him, doing the hearts, the solidarity hearts for a woman that strangled three of her children in cold blood, and then tried to commit suicide jumping out of a second story window or whatever, gets paralyzed from the waist down. Anyways, the whole nation is up in arms about this. I happen to think there's, I would say, foreign actors or maybe domestic actors nudging and pushing this stuff, amplifying it, but there's a lot of crazy out there. So a lot of this is really organic and we have to come to grips with that. And so this was his video trying to come to grips with that.
And he made a point that I also made about how Hollywood has been celebrating villains and anti-heroes. I think that's part of it. And then TikTok has, it's not just TikTok, it's Instagram, it's all the social medias that have come and created these little echo chambers, these algorithmic silos of people that are getting fed disinformation at rapid clips and they don't have enough common sense to process it all.

**Blake** (3:56)
It's a lot of clips, though. I think we should dive into it.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:58)
Let's do it.

**Blake** (3:58)
Which one do we want to start with? Well, we have the anti-heroes one.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:01)
Let's do that. All right. Let's do that as the setting the stage.

**Blake** (4:04)
Let's do 17

**Spencer Pratt** (4:06)
Gone are the days of the true bad guy. Now, the cinematic vanguard is in love with finding the humanity in the bad guy, telling the sympathetic origin story. Our parents had superheroes. We have anti-heroes. Breaking Bad was so brilliant, but it made us cheer on a narcissistic, murderous, criminal drug Kingpin who destroyed his family over money. When Tim Burton did Batman, the Joker was a lunatic. But now the Joker gets his own movie where he's the hero, and the climax of the film is him murdering the orderlies at the asylum. The arts dog-walked us here over decades with films and televisions that inverted the paradigm of normal virtue. Cops are the bad guys, outlaws are the heroes, and man, do you see that manifesting in reality today.
