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.

Jack Posobiec (1:17)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to another edition of Thoughtcrime Thursday. Really excited, a lot of thoughtcrime to get to. Also, we have to get to number one, the pre-orders for Unhumans are just blowing up Unhumans 2 Socialist Revolution. But in addition, we have a new drop that just came out a few hours ago. The entire Internet is talking about it. It's number one, the new drop, of course, is our new Thoughtcrime tease up at charliekirkstore.com.

That's not what I was going to do.

Blake Neff (1:56)

People kept asking, so you guys had better follow through and get them.

SPEAKER_4 (2:00)

Yeah, once they're in, I got to wait.

Jack Posobiec (2:02)

I love this one.

Blake Neff (2:03)

We could do a couple of designs. You can have like infinity t-shirt designs at this point.

Alexander Marlow (2:07)

I have a vision for another one, but this one is just hot off the press, Jack. We got to wear those at Amfest.

Jack Posobiec (2:16)

Yeah, the original original Thoughtcrime shirt from from a while ago actually predates the show if you want real Thoughtcrime lore. And it was a t-shirt that we had for the human event side, and it just said commit Thoughtcrime.

And that was sort of like the genesis for the show, the tagline, go out there and commit more Thoughtcrime. So commit Thoughtcrime is definitely a shirt we got to get up. So that's pretty cool. But no, I was going to, I was also going to say that we're going to have them. Where did you just say, Andrew? Where are we going to have the shirts?

Alexander Marlow (2:47)

At Amfest.

Charlie Kirk (2:48)

Oh, Amfest.

Jack Posobiec (2:50)

Is Amfest coming up? What's going on with that?

Alexander Marlow (2:52)

Well, I think we have the graphic. Don't we have the graphic, guys?

Blake Neff (2:55)

Hopefully, we have it. If not, we'll just have to recreate it from first place.

Jack Posobiec (2:58)

We're very bad promoters at our own events if we do not have the graphic.

SPEAKER_4 (3:02)

We had it for this morning.

Jack Posobiec (3:03)

They should have it.

Alexander Marlow (3:04)

Here, can I, I'm going to do a rapid fire reading of the names. By the way, I literally was just looking at a tweet that said, Bannon has to go, Jack has to go, and Gates has to go.

SPEAKER_4 (3:14)

I literally, you saw that tweet.

Jack Posobiec (3:16)

Because everybody is texting me all day saying, why is Andrew Colvett on there?

Alexander Marlow (3:22)

I told the team the same. I was like, I don't have to be there. They sort of made me, but it's fine.

I'm getting used to these things. Here we go. From top left on down, JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, Erica Kirk, the CEO of Turning Point USA, Donald Trump Jr., the son of the president, Caroline Levitt, former press secretary, Jesse Waters. We all know Jesse. Franklin Graham, that's a new addition to the line up. Spencer Pratt, also a new addition to the line up. Brandon Gill, look at that. First time, I think he might be the first. I doubt that's true actually. But I was going to say the first congressman, the first time we put him on the list, made it to the second row.

Blake Neff (4:00)

Yeah, that sounds pretty plausible.

Alexander Marlow (4:02)

Other people have, like Franklin Graham is top.
