October 17, 2026

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.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Thoughtcrime Thursday.
For those listening on the audio side or for those watching, you can see I'm here coming in live from the Unhumans Socialist Revolution Podcast Studio. New book drops on Tuesday. Very exciting. And it looks like we have the entire Fabulous Four lined up today. What's up, guys?
SPEAKER_3 (1:45)
Andrew's here even though he should feel shame and hide his face. Because really, by the time you listen to this on Saturday, I suspect the Dodgers will just be fully eradicated from baseball.
SPEAKER_4 (1:55)
Andrew, what happened to your Dodgers? They've become Unhumans.
SPEAKER_5 (1:59)
I don't know. But you know what I will say is, I will say that I would take the criticism from Blake Neff more seriously if he rooted for a team that had won the World Series since Gen Alpha, Gen Z has been born.
SPEAKER_3 (2:11)
More like a team that has won a World Series in a way other than just frantically throwing insane amounts of money.
SPEAKER_4 (2:17)
Tyler's just leaving and running around.
SPEAKER_5 (2:20)
It has a focal point that's set. Tyler, you...
SPEAKER_2 (2:25)
Tyler is trying to destroy the studio now.
SPEAKER_6 (2:28)
I was just making sure the camera was working over there.
SPEAKER_5 (2:34)
Okay. It is working.
SPEAKER_6 (2:35)
Oh, is it? Okay. I just... This beautiful brewer's hat I've got on.
SPEAKER_4 (2:42)
I was going to get to the brewer's hat. You can't be disgusting. So what is that, Tyler? You're a brewer's hat on? You can't be disgusting.
SPEAKER_5 (2:46)
Literally Blake has the audacity to clown on me when we're back to back champions. We've won three in what the last six years.
SPEAKER_4 (2:51)
Oh, yeah. Oh, it's amazing what you can do when you spend $700 million on your team.
SPEAKER_5 (2:54)
And you literally have one... It's Paul Molitor and Kirby Puckett.
SPEAKER_4 (2:58)
Those are your only people.
Jack Morris pitched all 10 innings to win game seven. He's a twins man. You have nothing as cool as him. You have nothing as cool as Jack Morris going 10 in game seven. The Dodgers have so much stuff.
SPEAKER_5 (3:11)
By the way, you just hate us because you root for the D-backs, and they always don't make the playoffs by one game.
SPEAKER_6 (3:19)
I have a deep-rooted hatred for the Dodgers. That is a fact. I am totally biased. But, however, I do want to make the claim, the pitch... I'm into this. for the Brewers.
The Brewers deserve... They're one of the longest, most historic franchises in the MLB that hasn't won a championship, that hasn't won a World Series, and they deserve to go. Number one, they have the best record in the league this year.
SPEAKER_4 (3:45)
I'm so mad, though. Hold on. They have the best record in the league.
SPEAKER_5 (3:47)
We literally have B-roll titled Dodgers sad. Up yours, everybody.
SPEAKER_4 (3:53)
Roll the tape. No. Roll the tape. Roll the B-roll.
SPEAKER_5 (3:55)
This is ridiculous. Roll the tape.
I'm not telling you what number it is. You guys...
SPEAKER_4 (4:01)
It is number...
SPEAKER_5 (4:02)
You don't even know.
SPEAKER_4 (4:05)
Did they take it out of you? There it is.
SPEAKER_5 (4:07)
That's not even bad. That's not B-roll.
SPEAKER_4 (4:10)
Yeah.
SPEAKER_3 (4:10)
Sure, the 18 All the sad Dodgers fans. That man is crying.
SPEAKER_6 (4:14)
He's staring out in the rain.
