**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'll 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.

**Jack Posobiec** (1:23)
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard tonight's edition of Thoughtcrime. And we're here in our normally stated, wonderfully capitalist, wonderfully flowing with milk and honey confines here to do the show.
And of course, we haven't had any trouble at all lately causing freakouts all over the internet, whether it be Saturday night, the number one streaming for the entire weekend, then then a massive war going all over social media. All heck has broken loose. Let's see what's going on.

**Andrew Colvett** (2:04)
Jack, what's up? Taco Taco Barito, Arriba Pinto.

**Andrew Colvett** (2:09)
I wear this against my will.

**Mikey McCoy** (2:12)
I was just given this.

**Andrew Colvett** (2:15)
What are you guys talking about?

**Blake** (2:16)
We are wearing Gloria Sombreros as we wear every week on this show.

**Andrew Colvett** (2:22)
It's so funny. The Internet thinks I'm Jewish. I'm just quarter Mexican.

**Jack Posobiec** (2:26)
He is, in fact, a quarter Mexican.

**Andrew Colvett** (2:31)
No, they're not. But we are talking about Barito.

**Blake** (2:35)
Why are we talking about burritos?

**Jack Posobiec** (2:37)
Also, why are three of us wearing Sombreros and Mikey is-

**Andrew Colvett** (2:42)
I have one. It's got a little thing. You have to wear it.

**Blake** (2:47)
You have to wear it?

**Mikey McCoy** (2:48)
You can't even tell that this is it because I have yellow behind-

**Andrew Colvett** (2:51)
I'm taking mine off.

**Jack Posobiec** (2:53)
Didn't we have more than two of the big ones from before?

**Blake** (2:57)
I think this is a perfectly reasonable distribution of Sombrero. We have equal distribution. It's not the size of the Sombrero.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:06)
It's how you wear it.

**Andrew Colvett** (3:07)
It's what you do with it. Equal distribution.

**Andrew Colvett** (3:08)
So for those that are going to listen to this, eventually we are wearing Sombreros.

**Jack Posobiec** (3:13)
Well, all of us, except Mikey, who only has a tiny little baby Sombrero.

**Mikey McCoy** (3:16)
I have a one-fifth of a Sombrero.

**Blake** (3:19)
Again, you guys are too obsessed with size maxing on your Sombrero.

**Andrew Colvett** (3:24)
This is the socialist Sombrero. You will be happy with less. You will love it.

**Mikey McCoy** (3:28)
Sombrero maxing.

**Andrew Colvett** (3:31)
All right. So why are we talking? I don't know what we're talking about this for. Nobody's talking about it.

**Jack Posobiec** (3:35)
Well, we should probably talk about burritos.

**Blake** (3:37)
Yes.

**Charlie Kirk** (3:38)
I did a thing by accident.

**Andrew Colvett** (3:40)
I accidentally caused a cover. You know, Jack, you're the Twitter expert.
Why did this go viral?

**Jack Posobiec** (3:49)
Well, so it's funny. So all last week, I made the comment attacking crony capitalism last week on the show, and we were going out for Kevin O'Leary, and that became that like people freak out, and that became like this huge trend. And then, Andrew, you kind of waited in, and I would say like in a very similar vein with this tweet about a burrito shouldn't cost $20.
And yes, the very same people who were losing their minds at me, largely neocons, were all starting to attack you.

**Charlie Kirk** (4:25)
I didn't feel that attacked.

**Andrew Colvett** (4:27)
I didn't feel very attacked.

**Jack Posobiec** (4:28)
I felt like there was so much backup. You're just saying like a burrito shouldn't cost $20. And this is something, and just to say right from the very start, that people need to remember that the original co-host of this show, Charlie Kirk, this was a topic that he talked about at great length throughout all of 2025, did his sit-down interview with Tucker, and was walking through all of the problems that young Americans are facing, and specifically outlined it by saying that if we want to prevent the rise of mandami style candidates, then we need to actually address the economic concerns of young Americans. And from my perspective, that's all that I was saying.
