Charlie on The Super Bowl: Halftime Shows, Football, and Cultural Flashpoints

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've 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. I guess today is Charlie Kirk, the founder and president of TPUSA. Charlie, thanks so much for joining us today. I'm honored to be here. Thank you. So I'd love to dive right into what's been going on with you ladies. I think you caused a little bit of trouble during this Super Bowl. It was a great night. Yeah, I mean, look, I'll never apologize for like defending the innocent of children, innocence of children, which the left has always tried to get rid of the innocence of children. And there's this Super Bowl halftime show that I guess people liked, whatever. I wasn't making commentary on the music. And if you watch the 50 cent portion of it, which is, let's just put it nicely, scantily clad women, you know, bending over like long snappers in a football game. And being incredibly suggestive, there's no way you could say that that's okay for a six year old to see. It's the most broadcast event in humanity. 120 million people are watching. Why do you think that kind of content is being put out there? Well, I think that the left wants to continue to hypersexualize all activity. And it's one thing if it was like behind a paywall or if it's like HBO plus, like I'm not going to tweet about that, like whatever, okay. I'll have my own opinions on it, but you put on network television. 100 million people are watching, including five, six or seven year olds. We're just going to kind of normalize that type of activity. And that's why I said what I said, it's sexual anarchy, which it is, which is a term that I've been using that I got from my friend Pastor David Engelhart, which is the sexual domain, no rules at all. Just complete anarchy there, no order, no tradition, no right and wrong. We have all sorts of different sort of components there. And I said it shouldn't be a lot of network television. And I stand by that because network television should be a reflection of the type of society we want to live in. Well, you know what it reminds me of all the craziness over Netflix, this cuties a couple years ago. You remember that? Yeah, I mean, I think they got criminally indicted in a county or Texas or something. And that was really bad. But the argument could, I mean, that was like child pornography bad and pedophilia bad. It wasn't on network TV, right? And so we're talking about that one specific instance. And obviously, but like, look, you asked why going back to Huxley's prediction of everyone belonging to everybody and sexual restraint kind of getting completely eroded. It's been a deliberate goal of the left post 1960s to make sexuality something that is not private or sacred, but instead widespread and normalized. And that actually creates really normal, that creates really miserable people in a chaotic society. That's so interesting because you know, we see so many examples of what you're talking about. Hook up culture is so prevalent, more and more gender ideology, pushing for children to think of themselves as a different gender as young as a toddler. That's right. Why do you think that so much of this is being pushed on our youth? And what effect will it have on the coming generation? I mean, I'm I'm not afraid to say this is being organized on a supernatural level. I mean, it's a spiritual war. No doubt. The enemy wants to have people have to clear war on their biological reality and take them away from things that actually give them meaning and purpose. And so I think that this is being organized on a supernatural level. You know, people think that's insane. I say it while I'm a Christian and I stand by it. I mean, I think that's the only way a Christian does not believe that. Right. So that's that's a metaphysical part of believing in Christianity. But look, it's also that you asked the why. I think that there is a group of people that have sinned and we're all sinners, but they somehow want to normalize and institutionalize it. Because if that it's okay, it might be a coping mechanism. I'm not really sure. But there's no way that you could say that, you know, 12 year olds getting sexual education courses or even having sex in general or 14 year olds is a good for society. It's awful. It's disgusting. It's wrong. We should say that more. And we should try to tell young people, look, you might slip up. You might make a mistake. That's okay. 100% grace. We got it. But try to save yourself from marriage. Like, at least try. Like, make it a goal. Yeah. Like, that would be good. Yeah. And I always hear cheap USA talking about encouraging young people to get married. And I think that's really interesting. But something I keep noticing lately is, you know, you can get married. But that doesn't mean that it's going to last. So how do we tell young people to marry the right person? You know, how do we, how do we equip them to marry a good person? Yeah. I mean, that I happen to meet the best person on the planet. I married her. So, I guess I'm lucky or fortunate or blessed or whatever. That's a whole separate issue where men are super weak. They become beta males and women don't want to marry them. And women have become men. So they're super angry and men don't want to be with women that are really kind of like overly aggressive. And I get that feedback from both sides all the time. Right. And I understand what I'm saying. I'm saying politically incorrect. I don't care. Just the way it is. There's a generation of like super miserable mid 30 something women that are like, why does no one want to marry me? It's like, okay. Well, and then they say, you know, men are all awful and I just saw a tick talk a couple of days ago went viral of this 30 something year old woman in LA crying about the state of dating nowadays and how she can't find anyone she wants to marry. Yeah. And like, I will say this though, without getting preachy, did you save yourself for marriage? Because if you do, then all of a sudden your dating pool opens up to other people that have saved themselves for marriage. And like, that's an interesting thing, right? Yeah. And people you can even talk about that in society. Like you're a prude or whatever. Like, well, I think that it's a good goal. It's an ideal, right? Yeah. What's wrong with having goals? Well, I know, but I'm not trying to say you're a bad person if you step. I'm not getting free. Like, I'm not trying to like, kind of like go after you in that way. But it should be something that we should like, yeah, you know what? We should try to have more people. Your young people. I actually think they'll be happier and more fulfilled. And by the way, the data shows it. Right. The data shows that young people that wait for marriage are happier. They live better lives. They have more children all of it. That's really interesting. So, you know, as a leader of TPSA, you're pushing for messages of fidelity and I guess monogamy, right? Totally. Yeah. What else do you think is important for young people to know? Like, what is the greatest thing that we're combating these days? I think it's, again, it's a spiritual component. But I also think that it's something that we must be, you know, we can't get to kind of into our own doctrine where we're unafraid to talk to other people about this, right? And some people are still trying to get their lives together. They've never kind of been exposed to this. But I also think that we shouldn't be okay with laws or public policy that makes it harder to get married and have children. Right? And so there are three things that create conservatives. If we want to, it's really simple, actually, we want to create more conservatives. You should have more people want to own homes and property. Get married and have children. Those three things create right wingers. Like, that's it. So why we're not talking about that or doing it is beyond me. Like, well, why are young people socialist? They own nothing. They're not married and they have no children. What are they conserving exactly? Nothing. It creates radicals, actually. So that's a message that I think that resonates with a lot of young people. We should make it easier to do those three things. And last question for you. Are you hopeful about the state of the next generation of conservatives? Yes. I think that they're more concerned about these types of issues. I grew up in a conservative movement that was hyper libertarian. 10 years ago, you probably remember it. It's become less so. And I think that's a good thing. I like the libertarians on a lot of different things, lockdowns, you know, gun issues, things like that. But I don't think that you can order a society towards meaning or purpose. If you tell an 18 year old, go do whatever you want to do, whatever you want to do it, and you're somehow going to be happy. It actually creates miserable people most times. Some people might be able to figure it out. God bless you. But you'll actually probably end up 26 and, you know, unmarried and you own nothing. And you're wondering where your purpose and the cosmos is. It creates an existential crisis. Actually, and I don't think we have to recreate the wheel, if you will. There is thousands of years of biblical tradition that has allowed people to have meaning, which is the three tied not to what came before you. What's happening now? What's going to happen in the future? All right. Well, Charlie, thank you so much. We're so grateful for you for chatting with us today. God bless. Thank you.

So we could either talk it's obviously the NFL is starting tonight or we could talk about debate debate on what well. So let's just ask a question. Are you guys excited for the NFL season or is it just like too woke for you to watch? I feel like I've so I started off when I was a kid. I was a fan of the NFL and like I would cry when the packers lost and it would just like you're like. Like oh 2007 I think was the one that was like really weighed on me that was when Brett Farber was still there. Yeah, it was Brett far but he loses the last game on a pick and I was like all super sad. He threw as many touchdowns as intercept. Yeah, yeah, you know that so I used to get real I lived and died by this and then when the anthem protest started happening with Kaepernick or I just engage. I that's I also did the same. I thought this is dumb. I'm going to prove that I'm not like ruled by Cuck ball or whatever they started calling it then. And so I actually had a whole year. I didn't really watch it to and help. Of course the Packers were bad. And now I think I'm in a healthy spot of football is a fun thing that I can watch but it's sort of lame to care about it too much. Brett Farve actually visited South Dakota in 2019. I'm trying to get him on the show. Oh, that'd be great. But it's cool. But I saw when I went there just to finish the story. I went there and there are all these men who were like substantially older than me. And they were still it's Vikings fans here. So they were still really upset about that Packer. Viking Saints game where Sean Peyton had that was terrible. That was dirty. But that was the end of the championship. They were really angry about it. Like he does a Q&A and these guys who are 45, 50 years old are livid. And Farve himself is like, you know, I know coach Peyton. I don't think he meant, you know, to have I think he's a friend of mine. I don't think he meant to hurt me like that bad. And you know, it's totally under the bridge. And they're like these guys are just seething over this and just a sport where men throw a ball and are played millions of dollars to do it should not make you that angry. But the Vikings never want to super bowl. And they never will. You think so. Never. Childhood me believe that like God in his heavens has decreed the Vikings will not want to super bowl 15% believe that 15% of Blake takes are hilariously wrong. When he's like, yeah, 2024 is going to be a boring year. Trump get shot, Biden replaced. We're not even done yet. Yeah. And Vikings will never want to super bowl is one of the 85% that are 100% correct. I'm not mistaken. The cardinals number one is super bowl, right? Tyler? Depends on what is not trans from time in Arizona. That's a bunch of. Yeah, in Arizona. Okay. No, you can't inherit the Super Bowl from Chicago. Well, it was, yeah, I mean, you're Chicago. And it was it was like they had a they have a BS title. They basically stole from the post. It was the world champion. It was 1925. They didn't even have a title game. That was just best record. And they didn't play the same number of games. And all these. All that is the Super Bowl air. They stole it from the packers one the first. The packers won the first Super Bowl. You know my wife Erica is from the Lombardi family. Really? Is that right? Seriously? Yeah. That's where we'll bring up her mom's a Lombardi. That's crazy. Isn't that insane? That's why like how how close like is she like direct bloodline? Like linear descent from Vince. Yeah. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah. We've all like all this packer stuff at our at our house. I didn't know that. Whoa. That's interesting. And that is why I'm from a huge bears family. So I don't know. Well, you know, the bears have won a Super Bowl. But 1985 best team ever assembled. Yeah. And they've proved me wrong. Best best NFL football team ever assembled. You know, that might be true. Yeah. Thank you. It might be true. And they didn't win. They lost. They lost one game. You know why they never won another one? Jim McMahon. Yeah, because Jim McMahon got body slammed by a psycho packer and probably you know, that was just crazy. Jack agrees. Jack agrees. Who's that? The greatest NFL team ever assembled 85 bears. I actually have in my in my eighth grade in my eighth grade yearbook. I actually have a reference to the 85 bears from of course my favorite Saturday live sketch of all time. The bears. The yes. And the bear. This give out you how crazy good the 85 bears were. We have not won a Super Bowl in 40 years. And it's still the only thing that like middle aged mildly overweight men in Chicago still talk about is the 85 bears. They're like, you're right. Remember when go bears go bears. Um, so coach what a certain name that started to be ends with an A and has a key in the middle. Yeah, I've got. I've got the I've got actually the Mike dick sweater. He's not the best. I have my closet. So the teams that I want to see were well Arizona Cardinals. Falcons. By the way, Falcons ties into our previous topic. Can you can you talk about that? What if the Patriots just around your time? Yeah, he's what he's mad. Yeah, he's just like, why doesn't Churchill? Leave up. Churchill didn't have a way to win. Like, yeah, it's just I can imagine like this Falcons seeding. You're just like, why didn't Bill Belichick to three 28 to three? That still is the greatest. That's not no one's ever come back that amount that you're supposed to not you have to make. They were offering them to shut it down. All right. So I have a quite I have a good question for the group. Let me list this. Okay. Cardinals Falcons, bills, panthers, bangles, browns, lions, Texans, Jaguars, chargers, Vikings, Titans of that list, who will be the first one to win a Super Bowl? They've never won a Super Bowl before. Bangles. They lost. They lost a couple of years ago. They've drove in the current structure and the current the composition of the teams, probably the bangles of the best chance. I haven't looked at the. I think I think the Lions. I'm going to say lions. I think I'll push Dan. Like that's the neighborhood. He always look at he's ready to fight somebody that guy. He seems to like they walk in a row. They're leaving him. He seems like a good coach. I think the Lions could win it all this year. I did. They have such momentum that I think they're ready to break the curse. And like they brought their offensive coordinator was offered a coaching job. And he said second odds. So Lions and then bangles right after the Lions. So Lions is plus all 100. No chiefs. Number one. I think you mean. Well, I'm talking about the teams. You just. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. So Lions, bangles, bills, bills, bills are bills are losing their edge man. They had so many chances. Josh Allen is too far of us. I think for modern. And the Texans are the Texans on that list. Yeah, they never won. Yeah, the text. They used to be the oilers. So it's the other team. The oilers are now the Tennessee tie. The other team. They won either. The other team along with the Vikings that will never win is the Cleveland Browns. The. They have no they have one. They're right. They're have one. You're right. They've never even been to one. But these are this is the order right now. I don't think you like. He's ever been to one. No, they've been to four. Oh, he's like, it's a big four and most every single one. No, no, it's not as bad as the bills who lost five in a row. Four in a row. Four in a row. Get wrong. It's it's four in a row. If you imagine it's chiefs 49ers Ravens Eagles Lions, bangles, bills, Texans, Packers. And you know, it's great to be a packer fan, by the way. We're like the only team that's not subject to this extremely terrible NFL policy that they're going to let private equity by state. It's it's a team. Are you an owner? No, I'm not. I am not. I'm not. No, one of our staff member owns. Yeah, but okay. So don't insult this model. Look, it is cool. That the packers are publicly owned, but owning a piece of Packers stock. If you are not one of the OG people from the 60s is a scam. No, it's not. It is a scam. You don't get tickets. You get into the lottery for tickets. I think you have you can get into the lottery for tickets just without being an owner. If you want to pay like three times markup. In any case, the waiting list is now so long that if you register your child, maybe their child will be able to get it after they do. I think it's amazing. That's so cool that this like very small moderate, like boring Midwestern town has this powerhouse NFL team. I think the only right you get is you get to go to the shareholder meeting, which is the whole land landfill field. And they all vote. Okay. That's cool. It's cool, but you don't have a real power. Actual controlling voting power is with people from the 50s. Yeah, but it's politics. It's democracy. You know they used to play Milwaukee. Yeah, yeah. And they have they have green and yellow days. Yeah, yeah. Because of the old walk. They have green and yellow days where the green is all the rules and the yellows are I'm gonna get mixed up. But like all the ticket holders Milwaukee have yellow holding days and green ones. And so when it's like Milwaukee, it's all a bunch of lips that go up. And then it's green. It's like all Trump country. Yeah, since you're a bear's fan, you might not know this. Did you know that teams are allowed to like be good for more than one season in their history for the record. We were in a super bowl against the Indianapolis Colts in 2008, I think. And 2006 season. So I think seven would be the year it happened. Hey, the bear. No, I think it was the the super one would have been 2000. Can you guys check me? I think it's a 2006 season for 2007. 2007 is when the Patriots go 18 and one. I would put money on this. This would be I will put money on this. It's not second. It was it was super. $100 every right to 2008. No, that's a car. $2,700. That was the car. 2008 cardinals and Steelers. Check it out. 2008 season. No, no, it's the Super Bowl happened in February 2008. Check it. Oh, check it. Super Bowl. Blake's Blake's you know, only $100. I just looked at this. I'm pretty sure Sunday, 2008. It was on February 4th, 2007. The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Chicago Bears 2927. Are you sure? Yeah, 2008 was a 41. Look it up 2008 was Arizona. That was the crazy game. I'm pretty sure it was 2008. Now that was the Patriots and Giants crazy game. That was the perfect Patriots here, I think, right? So they have like encyclopedic knowledge of like this period of that was like, no, that's all fake. It's all been rewritten. Yeah, it's like all the time. I was. I was. I was. That was. That's going to ruin my whole day. I can't interview JD. I'm done. Like I just everything's ruined. Man, JD Vance must be a Bengals fan. That has to be hard. What NFL team do you hate the most? Oh, Vikings, these Dallas Cowboys. Oh, yeah, you know what? There's cowboys are so easy to hate. It's not even close. Why why is every cowboys fan like a five foot six Mexican with long gene shorts? No, that's not true. The actual of the interesting thing with the cowboys is like, they are very national. Like, well, there's an explanation actually reasonably for this is the same thing with the Dodgers. They're like the America. I've heard, I've heard Mexico likes the Steelers a lot. No, because there was for a long time in American history. There was a massive gap between basically Texas and California. And so they're the cowboys gobbled up basically all of Western United States until California. Because there were no there were no football teams even in California that were long standing and well respected. So all Western United States basically the cowboys were your team before those other teams. Also, they had such a run in the 90s that it just became America's team. Well, but before that, like my dad's a cowboys fan. What? Because there were that everyone in Arizona was lost in the entire everybody everybody that lived in Arizona was a cowboys fan by default. The so the Titans, the Vikings, you take the Vikings. The Vikings are just sort of you hate the Vikings more than the bears. The thing. Yeah. So the thing is the Vikings are more consistently competitive than the bears. And they're also just kind of a fun but monkey to make fun of because they're his like you can make and they did make like an eight part documentary series on the Vikings many failures. The bears is just like, oh, here's their 87th quarterback of the last Kyle or J. Jacob and they're like, oh, Jay Cutler just managed to throw the ball for 32 hundred yards and 12 touchdowns. They're by cementing the greatest offensive season by any bears quarterback in history. Do you think so of this list? Lions, I agree. The bills are losing it. The Falcons man. That's such a sad story, isn't it? Well, it depends on your point of view. Like the Falcons. So I don't hate the Falcons. I don't hate the Falcons, but I will be appreciative that in the 2017 Super Ball is right after the 2016 election, the media basically decided that the Falcons were the Lib America team because they represented Atlanta. Yes. They were like, you know, the blue city in a red state. They were that's why I was trying to for the Patriots. And they were like, they kind of made it a race thing. Like they represented black and then like the Patriots were the white team. It was very bizarre. Even though they're from Massachusetts. Yeah. So they're from this blue state. But on the other hand, Belichick, Belichick wrote a letter endorsing Trump. Yeah. That was private. That's right. And then I just love this story that the Trump campaign asks him, can we release this? And he's like, oh, you want to release it here? Let me rewrite the letter to be more a fusively positive. Like I didn't want to suck up too much in private, but I'm going to suck up to the max in public. That's so funny. Oh, it's such a great story. I was there when Trump first read the letter in New Hampshire rally the day before the election. I was with I was traveling with Trump that night. We almost won. And he just got. I know he just got on Instagram. I'll never forget that. That was the moment I realized that moment I realized like it could happen. There were two things that I'll always take out with me. My friend who was doing poll watching in New Hampshire just tells me like, Blake, we're getting we're getting these random hunters from rural New Hampshire who haven't voted in 12 years and they're coming out and like a lot of them are coming out. I remember that. And then I also remember seeing Ross Douthat tweeting, this was like at the exact moment her odds peaked on the New York Times dial for Hillary. And he's just like, you know, I'm looking at the map guys and I just don't. Florida doesn't seem that bad. Like it seems like the rural numbers are really good. And that's the exact moment it just starts swerving the other way. Always remember it. So you can find my tweet. I owe Blake a hundred bucks, which I will pay. And then I will give somebody $25 if they can find my tweet from 2016 of my day before election tweet that I predict my prediction. If you could find it, no one ever gives me credit for this. I predict what I predicted the day before the election. Do you remember this? And I got so much hate the day before. And I because I was traveling with the campaign. I was like, I think Trump's going to win. I think he's going to miss you again. And people came after me like, and I put it by the way. In writing, publish the tweet. Yeah, it was the day I've got it. I've got it. November 7th, 2016, final prediction, like $125. This is great. This is one of my better days. Yeah, you got to put that. That's really a personal final prediction. Michigan going red, bold, but it could happen. You heard it here first. And then you know what you also did. You predicted that Wisconsin and Pennsylvania would be blue. I know. I believe enough Charlie. I didn't get the whole map right, but I did. You're a trader. You abandoned Trump. That's how that I called Michigan though. That's pretty legit though. Yeah, we had done. There were. We had done. I think I called Michigan to I think my final map. We had a contest at the daily collar. And I got very close to the actual electoral vote total, but I was off in the States. I gave him Michigan. I think I did Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada. So my map is almost the same as yours, but I had Nevada too. I got to get Blake on like an auto pay event mode at this right at this point. So NFL season, who do you guys think is going to be super bowl? I'm going to be cheering for and pulling for the Lions. I agree. I think I think lions are right. You've given up on the bears already. Look, it's fruitless at this point. I mean, we're going to be disappointed Caleb Williams, like a Terry's ACL on the third week. You're really going to be disappointed. The word you want to go for here. If you're like, I mean, was there hope? Not really. I just had hopes since like Brian Erlacher retired. I like him actually. Such a sweet guy. He's super conservative. He lives in Arizona, by the way. He's a really right wing. I'm hoping that the bears actually have a surprise season. Where I don't think they're going to go super ball is better when the bears are good. Yeah. Because I mean, first of all, they're one of the most loved franchises and knew one of America's biggest cities has on fire. We've just been those like dormant football beast for like the last 20 years. You want that. I mean, like enough of this, like, by the way, Kansas City, like, okay, there's only so much population base there. It's the same like 100,000 people that go to the games. Like, okay, great. Fine. They're ripping it. The teams I want to see suffer Dallas Cowboys cannot stand them. I don't sleep on the dolphins, by the way. I think the dolphins are going to be really good. I mean, dolphins put up 70 on a team last year. That was insane. To what Taga Vyola is the real deal. I'm telling you that guy can ball. I could not have pronounced that name. I'm telling you CJ Stroud, the Houston Texans. If he stays healthy, we'll be one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Texans are going to be good. I'm really pulling that. The Cardinals figured out this year. I think it's all like I got to get rid of Kyler Murray. I think it's a we're going to see. We're going to see we're going to see. He's a socks Marvin Harrison Jr. He's special. He's going to be special. They should sign him for a 20 year. Could be special. He's really good. It was a good Kyler Marie's the most overpaid, overrated person. We also have some good other other guy. Our tight end, Tray McBride. I think it's going to be really good. So we'll see. I'm I'm pulling for the Cardinals. Oh, I'm calling for the Broncos to go 500. Bonex. Yep. Bonex. Let's think of the other teams I hate. Oh, I want the New York Jats to do well. I've got more teams I'm cheering for than I'm there. Jack is saying we should each do a quick map prediction of the election if we want. No, I'm not doing it. We're not putting up. All right. Do you have to put that out there? Jack, you've been quiet for some time. How are the Eagles doing? Well, so the Eagles lately, the biggest thing this week was this whole thing with the Kamala Harris ad. Like the fake, they claimed was a fake ad that went up. I don't know if we have the image saying that Kamala Harris is the official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles. And this was going up at least one bus station in, right in like center city Philadelphia. And it had the website on it. I think it was like fill it up. Eagles dot com slash vote. And it had a picture, sort of like animated picture of Kamala Harris in in an Eagles jersey in the Eagles helmet. And the Eagles put out the statement saying, oh, well, you know, it's it's it's not her. It's not going to be her, et cetera. This is not approved. But then there was a guy who, and we got it, what was his name? The mole, he was Christian Molar, who said in the comments, because so this other guy who's a Trump supporter from Philly went over and started like plastering over the Eagle, over this, this quote unquote fake ad. And then Christian Molar, a Twitter user, and you know, shout out to Lara Loomer for catching this by the way, that said in the comments, how dare this guy cover up an official ad or cover up an ad like this? And if you don't like it, that's too bad. And people are like, who's this guy saying it's a real ad? And it turns out that he was the director of team relationships for the Eagles and actually worked at the Eagles for like 25 years. So as someone who would be very well within the know of actually knowing whether or not this was a real ad. So he's subsequently locked his Twitter account and it's become the sort of like whole firestorm as to whether or not this guy had potentially actually approved whatever this thing is to go up. I have no sympathy for the Eagles and I hope they lose every game and that they sell their franchise for parts. You want to bring back the Stegles, do you know about this story? I don't know. I think the Eagles might be one of my most hated franchises. So in no offense, Jack. In World War II, due to budget shortages, the Eagles and the Steelers temporarily merged into one team really. That they called the Stegles. There's an all Pennsylvania team. Yeah. I think it's more the fans than it is the actual team. Fans are so aggressive. But this com will think this week, I want to get answers. I need answers from Jack. Jack should not again, by the way, like if people want like an understanding of who Pacific is, just understand that I grew up as a Philadelphia sports fan. So like that should just work. I need answers on this. I need answers on this com will add who produced it. How it got out there? This is going to go down like the pipe bombs in Washington DC, the R&C pipe bomber. So we're tracking down. I've already got, I've already got people that are looking to this guy's family because it turns out that this Christian Molar guy is also from the RSTEM Pennsylvania, which is the exact same town that I'm from just outside Chile. So we're tracking them down. Christian Molar, stay tuned. You don't know who's going to be reaching out on Facebook. Could be one of those people. Uh oh. John Fetterman was right all along. PlayCut 80. And Eagles are so much better than Eagles. Every time I hear the Eagles, I think of them. I don't get how they couldn't just make him like, that's clearly the smartest Eagles fan in human history. So they should have made him like the head coach or something. No, he should be the official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles. There should be Fetterman, official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles. He's not even from like the Eagles part of Pennsylvania. That's what so it doesn't January. So he's he's from decidedly CLR's territory. So help me just really quick as we wrap up here. Blake, I think the NFL is kind of getting its mojo back. It's a thing now that has a lot of dominance. It has more chatter. Would you agree it really took a nose dive in 2020 and people thought, like, oh, football's going down. It feels bigger than ever. It really is. The NFL is like, it's like state run. Religious. It's just the perfect sport. It really is. So it's like unkillable. It's just it's so like, but am I right? The only way they can screw it up, the only way they can screw it up, frankly, is I think if they if they just get too greedy, like they keep wanting to add more games on more days. I'm a Brazil or like, what are you doing? I don't mind the Brazil thing. You know, you do one game here. Like every, have every team do one game overseas while you've got this 17 game season. So then everyone's eight and eight and then one international game. I think that's fine. But I think where they're really kind of taking risks are they, what you'll see a few things. One, they'll try to put games on too many days and kind of one of the things the NFL has is they've just basically made Sunday, like, you know, there's only two days. Go to Tuesday and Wednesday are the only days about that game. Yeah. Well, yeah, no, and it's making it worse than we have a Friday game now. Like it should be a week of Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday. You go to church. You go watch football or you just watch football, you know, depending on your point of view. And then there's a Monday night game if you're an obsessive and they, them colonizing that one day a week actually is like the perfect level of dominance without it drowning everything out. And the other thing is the NFL is the last thing that's on normal television. And where I could see them screwing up the golden goose is they let a bunch of games go on peacock or Amazon prime or Netflix or something stupid like that. And suddenly too many NFL games are on some bullcrap subscription service that you have to buy rather than just on normal TV. And I think that's how you ruin it. You make the NFL too exclusive. The tickets are already really expensive. Like you never really go to an NFL game anymore unless you just love setting tickets on fire. And I think that is setting money on fire. And I think that is the long term hazard. But the actual sport is so good. They've kind of, they got through the political harrowing period. You can actually have a right wing player again and it's not the end of the flipping world. They got, they survived all of that. They have pretty likeable stars. They, I feel like players even get arrested a bit less than these two progress. It's, it's, and also college football is screwing it up. Sorry Charlie. I've got bad news. College football is dumb now. No, it's not. College football is better than ever. I just don't get the whole like, like, oh, the great amateur sportsmanship when every single player is this mercenary for hire on a one year contract for whatever boost. It was an inevitable thing. There's no other way to do college football in the modern social media era and with the Supreme Court decision. We should just blame the Supreme Court Blake, blame the Supreme Court. I just, with name image like this, I'm going to make a really mad. I just, I think college football has outlived its usefulness. It's now, now it mainly exists to be like, we can't fix our schools because then it would screw up the heck on football team, man. That's been that way for 20 years. That's worser now. Much worser. Is that a word worser? It is now. He has going to say the Dartmouth grad is using good grammar. It's probably a word. We have to go. Um, thank you guys. So final Super Bowl picks. I think the Bears will not win. I want the Lions to win. Blake. I'm going to go total Homer. Jordan loves going to, going to pull it all together. He's over it. We'll get our one Super Bowl win that we get with each of our Hall of Fame quarterbacks and then he'll be the quarterback for the next 18 years and then he'll go play on the Jets for a year and then the Vikings. Tyler. Oh man, I would love to see a Lions Jets, uh, Super Bowl. Man, if we could live through something like that. The Jets are not that good though. I understand, but like just like some miraculous thing happens. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers. Is Aaron Rodgers going to play in Monday? Yeah. Are you sure? That's what I'm told. He'll play on Monday and they're playing the Niners. I don't think it's been convenient. They're playing the Niners and the guy who injured him in the first game last year is now on the Niners. How funny would that be? Are you kidding me? I believe it's the Niners they're playing, but whoever it is, the player who injured him is on the opposing team again. A Lions Jets Super Bowl would be great for America. Did he play in any preseason game? No, but like he didn't play in preseason in Green Bay either. Rodgers doesn't like playing. Yes, he does. He's such a baller. I want to meet that guy. I want to be like Aaron Rodgers on my list of someone I want to be friends with. Even though I hear he's a really bad person. If he just comes in, all you have to do is when he shows up, you say, you know, you're shorter than I expected and he gets like really but hurt about this if you say that. Is he shorter? He's not that tall. He's like six three or something, but people kind of sometimes expect these NFL players to just be gigantic and you know, he's not like a super, he's not a linebacker. Well, the internet says he's six two. I understand. By the way, did they fix my height yet on Wikipedia? They did. That's amazing. Our PR campaign worked. Isn't that hilarious? We ridiculed them. That is so funny. They say you were. They said I was six one and now they say I'm six five. That is so funny. I'm very happy for you. Jack, you want the Eagles to win? Birds, birds all the way, green gang. But of course, I do also have to say, let's get back to our scenario time, folks. Bears versus the assembled choir of heavenly angels. The whole choir, yeah, you know, the star from the jar from the whole nine yards. Angels, angels, but it's close and then they cut to Chris, Chris Farley and he's got that giant Stein of beer and he's just like, bears. The bearish. We'll see what Caleb Williams is made of. Not not super ball in the next decade, bone X will win a super ball. God bless, guys. See you soon. Enjoy the NFL. America's better when sports run TV.

Okay, that's super ball. It wasn't me. It just felt a little anti-climatic. Let me just kind of air some my grievances. Number one, what was with the lower third? Do you know what I'm saying Andrew? The Philadelphia little lower third, the scoreboard. It looked as if someone made it in clip art. Do you know it usually have all these opulent elaborate? I didn't like it. I was I know that we've all agreed as a society. No one took a vote that after trying to the left and trying to the right and trying to the upper left and the right that the bottom is the best. I just I thought it was very underwhelming. I will say I think Andrew, thank you for bringing this up. I think Tom Brady did great. I thought Tom Brady was a 10. I thought Tom Brady was a 10. I thought Tom Brady was way better than I anticipated and dare I say I thought Tom Brady was even better than Tony Roma. I know Tony Roma is, you know, I think Tony Roma gets a lot of he gets a lot of mixed reaction. I thought Tom was terrific. I've always been a huge Tom Brady fan, but he just seemed as if he was having fun. He was having a blast. And I think Tom Brady was also enjoying it because he was like, ha ha, my homes, you're not the goat. And he obviously channeled a lot of his super bowl experiences, but look, that's not easy. You got to be honest, like doing color commentary without a lot of experience on that. That's not easy. I thought Tom Brady crushed it. I thought he did very well. Over 100 plus million people were watching. Can I also just mention the commercials were terrible. I thought they were so underwhelming. And I thought the best commercial was the food conspiracy one, the Matthew McConaughey. You know what I'm talking about? I thought that was the best one because it also had the bears in it. But the greatest moment of the super vault to great daisy and Emma's delight was one finally. I don't know if Taylor Swift has ever gotten booed about time. Taylor Swift had no idea what was happening after getting booed one shown on the jumbo tron play cut 41. Oh, they're booing her. And I love when she says like what is going on? She's never been booed in her life. And look, I just I think it's well deserved. She went after Maga and endorsed Joe Biden. And she's not exactly in favorable company there. Let's put 56 up there. This is the meme. It's pretty good. President Trump got applauded. Look, regardless of your opinions on Taylor Swift, it was a fun moment, but it really represented a cultural shift. Represented a cultural shift where President Trump gets roaring applause and Taylor Swift, not as much. Trump getting applauded cut 42. And then there was this Nike ad saying that women were oppressed. Overall, I will say though that the advertisements were probably more pro-American, more pro-family in a little less woke than I would have anticipated in previous years. But it just seems like the spark and the creativity was largely missing from them. You could see them clearly trying to signal, but a lot of the ads were just bland. They weren't boundary pushing. They weren't that entertaining. Some of them I even said I said, I know that ad. They run that. I'm not going to see it. It's the McConaughey sales force ad. They've run that many times. And they say that the Super Bowl reflects kind of where American culture is. And here's the best summary I could give. We are in progress of exercising the woke, but we're not there yet. We're in progress of expelling it from our system, but we're not there yet. The vibe ship is clear, but we still have a lot of work to do. And by the way, so many of the ads were released before the Super Bowl. So it wasn't excited to watch it for the first time like it used to be. But I mean, if I was a marketing agent, I would release it ahead of time because you get all these extra views and then you get the views of the Super Bowl. So releasing ahead of time, I think, is actually super smart. Overall, I was thrilled to see the Kansas City Chiefs lose. I hate to say it. I like my homes. I think he's a great guy. I like Harrison butker got to know him. But seeing the Philadelphia, I'm not exactly an Eagles fan. I think they burnt Philip Philly to a crisp. There's going to have to be like a rebuilding plan, a national stimulus plan. I think FEMA is going to have to visit Philly after what happened last night. But I was happiest of all for Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts. In 2018, I remember he was benched in the middle of the national championship. We're two at Taco Bellola. Took over and then he ended up having to transfer to Oklahoma. He never gave up. He fought for every inch. I've been following his career for years. People thought he was no good and now he is Super Bowl MVP and Super Bowl champion and they can never take that away from him.
