Charlie Kirk’s Cultural Impact Highlighted by South Park Feature

[00:00] So yesterday, I just started laughing

[00:01] when someone sent this to me.

[00:03] Apparently,

[00:05] our very popular prove me wrongs and our

[00:08] extraordinarily viral campus debates are

[00:11] being prominently profiled on South

[00:14] Park. Let's play cut 394.

[00:17] >> Wednesday, August 6th.

[00:18] >> You can just shut up, baby, because you

[00:20] hate America and you love abortion

[00:22] >> on an allnew South Park.

[00:23] >> So, if you don't watch South Park, it's

[00:25] very, very popular, especially with

[00:26] younger people. Look, I mean, I I think

[00:29] we just should have a good spirit and

[00:30] laugh about this and a good attitude,

[00:33] but first of all, that trailer was

[00:35] hilarious. You could shut up because you

[00:36] hate America and love abortions. I mean,

[00:38] that's a it's a pretty good summary of

[00:40] the lot of the left I see on campus. But

[00:43] look, of course, this is going to be

[00:45] professional comedians. They know what

[00:47] they're doing. They're going to probably

[00:48] roast me. But it's about time that we

[00:51] don't take ourselves so seriously.

[00:52] That's one of the problems with the

[00:55] current political landscape, especially

[00:56] on the left, is people take themselves

[00:58] so seriously. Be able to take a joke,

[01:00] have a good sense of humor. And so,

[01:02] South Park is kind of a cultural

[01:03] phenomenon. And make no mistake, being

[01:05] mocked, it means that you're doing

[01:06] something. And I've been texted, by the

[01:09] way, congratulations by so many people.

[01:11] And they're probably going to be nasty

[01:12] and cru and vulgar and all that stuff.

[01:16] But as you see Benny Johnson's tweet up

[01:18] on screen there, which is um Carmen

[01:22] Cartman, not Cart. Yeah, it's Cartman.

[01:24] Uh I thought it's No, it's Cartman is uh

[01:27] playing Charlie Kirk, which is uh pretty

[01:30] cool. And also, you see the security guy

[01:33] behind and the water bottle. Let's put

[01:34] some of these up on screen. Uh Benny

[01:36] Johnson says, "Cartman is playing

[01:37] Charlie Kirk on the next episode of

[01:39] South Park and it's great honor pop

[01:40] culture can bestow upon you." Jack Bobic

[01:42] says, "South Park is doing Cartman as

[01:44] Charlie Kirk." Uh Cartman is playing

[01:46] character inspired by Charlie Kirk in

[01:47] the next South Park episode daily caller

[01:49] writes and Colin Rug as well. This is

[01:51] all very good and this shows that the

[01:53] cultural impact that we are making at

[01:55] Turning Point USA cannot even be ignored

[01:58] by the professional comedians at Comedy

[02:02] Central.

[02:03] And

[02:05] billions and billions of views later, I

[02:07] tell you guys, hey, we're going viral on

[02:09] Instagram and Tik Tok. This is exhibit

[02:10] A. This is evidence

[02:13] and and and and we love it. And look,

[02:14] they're going to make fun of me or

[02:16] whatever. Great. Fine. That means I've

[02:17] done something. That means that we are

[02:19] in a different league of cultural

[02:21] penetration. We are on their feeds. You

[02:24] know what this means? This means that

[02:25] all the all the graphic designers, all

[02:28] the artists, all the script writers, all

[02:31] the comedians, they're seeing Charlie

[02:32] Kirk Turning Point USA stuff when

[02:34] they're flipping through Instagram, when

[02:36] they're flipping through TikTok. Our

[02:38] stuff is going viral and it is making a

[02:40] difference. In fact, one of my favorite

[02:43] things is when I'm on vacation or I'm

[02:46] traveling when a liberal parent has to

[02:49] take the picture of their conservative

[02:51] son who likes me. Oh, it's great. Yeah,

[02:55] they asked me to take a picture, but I

[02:57] can't stand you, but my son loves you.

[02:59] What do Andrea Belli, Steph Curry,

[03:02] Justin Bieber, and Tim Tibo have in

[03:03] common? All of their mothers were

[03:06] encouraged to end their pregnancies.

[03:08] When a woman faces an unplanned

[03:10] pregnancy, she is often pressured to end

[03:12] her child's life. She wants to make the

[03:14] right choice, but society and those

[03:16] around her are telling her that her baby

[03:18] is not alive. That's where the Ministry

[03:20] of Preborn steps in. Pre-born and their

[03:23] network of clinics offers compassionate,

[03:25] loving care to mothers and the support

[03:28] they need to help them choose life,

[03:30] including a free ultrasound. Once a

[03:32] mother hears their child's beautiful

[03:34] heartbeat, she is twice as likely to

[03:36] choose life. If you consider yourself

[03:37] pro-life, it's time to join forces of

[03:39] pre-born. I'm a donor and you should be,

[03:41] too. Together, we can empower women to

[03:43] choose life. Empower the truth of

[03:45] motherhood transforms families and

[03:47] futures. One ultrasound is just $28 and

[03:49] a $140 gift will help to rescue five

[03:53] babies. When you donate monthly, you'll

[03:55] receive stories and pictures of lives

[03:57] you helped to save. Please dial pound

[04:00] 250 and see say the keyword baby. That's

[04:03] pound 250 baby or visit

[04:05] pre-born.com/charlie.

[04:07] That is pre-born.com/charlie.

[04:10] Sponsored by Pre-born. It just goes to

[04:12] show how viral what we are doing at

[04:15] TurningPoint USA is. And look, the left

[04:17] killed comedy. We didn't. And I think

[04:19] it's I mean, look, if you can't make fun

[04:21] of yourself or get made fun of,

[04:22] especially if you're a public figure, I

[04:24] mean, if you're making fun of just some

[04:25] guy on the side of the street, that's

[04:27] cruel. I mean, look, but I'm a public

[04:28] figure. Billions of views. Okay, great.

[04:31] So, it's is part of the game. However,

[04:33] we did do some research and we have been

[04:37] told that it's a very rare cultural

[04:38] accomplishment as a conservative to kind

[04:40] of be profiled on this program. This is

[04:44] Tim P and also Steve Cortez saying that

[04:48] this is evidence that we are winning the

[04:50] culture war. Play cut 418.

[04:52] >> Charlie Kirk, congratulations, man. You

[04:54] made it. It's wild because I'm pretty

[04:57] sure South Park is older than Charlie

[04:59] is. Yeah, by the way. So, a huge win for

[05:01] Charlie Kirk, Chicago boy like we are.

[05:03] We love to see Chicago boys do well, but

[05:05] more importantly for the country. You

[05:07] know, I think the point is here, you're

[05:08] right, we are winning the culture war,

[05:10] right? When South Park feels that they

[05:12] need to mock um a show host and a and a

[05:14] campaign operative, albeit a super

[05:17] important one, uh like Charlie Kirk.

[05:21] And that is just more evidence and an

[05:24] example of the cultural penetration that

[05:27] we have enjoyed at Turning Point USA. We

[05:30] commonly say that cult that politics is

[05:33] downstream from culture. And what this

[05:36] shows is that through the phenomenon of

[05:38] us going on these campuses by having

[05:40] those debates by engaging in this is

[05:43] that South Park and the whole leadership

[05:45] team of South Park they can't escape us.

[05:47] And the response has been amazing

[05:49] because the the left is very mad that I

[05:52] am not mad about this. I changed my

[05:54] profile picture. I think it's hilarious.

[05:56] And yes, of people say, "Charlie,

[05:58] they're making fun of you. Why aren't

[05:59] you mad?" Okay. Like, cuz I don't take

[06:03] myself as seriously as you take me, I

[06:05] suppose. And also, just have a little

[06:08] light-heartedness about it. Be able to

[06:09] take a joke. It's okay. It's part of

[06:12] life. And it's just a symbol that we're

[06:14] making a big difference. And look, I'm

[06:15] sure again to repeat myself, it it is

[06:18] just going to

[06:20] it's going to be pretty intense. Fine,

[06:22] great. And look, the whole season

[06:25] apparently is woke as dead. Uh so that

[06:27] was Cartman's thing in the last episode

[06:29] that Trump won and all the young people

[06:30] are conservative. And

[06:34] look, I mean the the tweet that we put

[06:36] out of, by the way, can we put up that?

[06:38] That's my new profile picture. And

[06:40] apparently they have the PC principal

[06:41] behind him, which apparently the PC

[06:43] principal changed his name this season

[06:45] or something. Is that right, Brian? To

[06:47] something else. I didn't I didn't watch

[06:49] the first the first episode, by the way,

[06:50] was super anti-Trump and really um

[06:53] nasty. And so we're anticipating it. But

[06:56] yeah, look. So that tweet right there

[06:57] has 88,000 likes. My favorite responses

[06:59] are liberals that are so mad. And oh

[07:02] yeah, it's the power Christian

[07:04] principle. By the way, it's also, if you

[07:05] look at the little detail, it's the

[07:06] picture of Cartman. He has the Holy

[07:07] Bible. love. By the way, no joke, I am

[07:10] not kidding you. I told Mikey that this

[07:12] fall I'm bringing a Bible with me

[07:14] actually so I can quote the scripture.

[07:16] It's like hilarious. They South Park is

[07:18] one step ahead. They they they're like

[07:20] one step ahead of us. Now, the only

[07:22] thing that they're missing and they

[07:24] might they they have time to fix it.

[07:25] Where are my lozenes?

[07:27] Where are the lozenes? Where is the tea?

[07:30] They got my hair perfect. They got the

[07:32] security guard. They even have the

[07:34] little background, the mic, the kind of

[07:36] the darker shirt.

[07:39] And yeah, where are the hats? That's

[07:40] exactly right. And by the way, they're

[07:43] they're they they have distilled my

[07:44] essence rather well. And so I have to

[07:48] say that again, we got to watch the

[07:50] episode, but if Cartman comes out

[07:52] throwing hats at people, woof, that

[07:54] would be phenomenal. And so we see no,

[07:56] we no hats so far, but just the entire

[07:59] image and the entire thing is uh is

[08:02] obviously us. And so again, just like we

[08:05] said with Media Matters yesterday, we

[08:07] love this. It's all just another example

[08:10] of the cultural penetration, the

[08:13] success. And we're going to take this in

[08:15] good step and in good spirit. And it's

[08:17] just a good lesson for life, everybody.

[08:18] Don't take yourself so seriously. We're

[08:20] all sinners. We all fall short of the

[08:21] glory of God. We're all broken people.

[08:24] And look, comedians got to do what

[08:26] comedians do. They're they're going to

[08:27] throw stuff at you. Have a little

[08:28] humility. Have a little grace. And you

[08:30] know, if they go too far, they go too

[08:31] far. Okay, fine. Whatever. to shrug your

[08:33] shoulders. And that's the attitude that

[08:36] I encourage you guys to have in your

[08:37] life. And we're going to we're going to

[08:40] really enjoy it. It feels um and look,

[08:44] it some people think that them mocking

[08:45] me will make it like attack us.

[08:49] Honestly, it's uh it's the it it's not

[08:51] even an O of course it's an attack, it's

[08:53] that. But in some ways, it'll only make

[08:54] us bigger. It will only make us

[08:56] stronger. And honestly, it is it is a

[08:58] thrill growing up watching, you know,

[09:00] several episodes of South Park. I

[09:02] haven't watched in about a decade, you

[09:03] know, been busy building some stuff, but

[09:04] it's without a doubt a cultural

[09:06] phenomenon. I think they signed a $1.5

[09:08] billion $1.5 billion 5-year deal with

[09:12] Paramount and CBS. Is that right? $1.5

[09:15] billion. $33 million an episode. $33

[09:21] million an episode. And so I am a happy

[09:26] inkind contribution to the $33 million

[09:29] an episode. Honestly, it's uh it is a

[09:32] fun moment and it goes to show that when

[09:35] we go to those campuses and producer

[09:37] Andrew fills in and we're doing hundreds

[09:38] of hours of debate a year on these

[09:40] campuses and explaining and teaching and

[09:43] being with students that it's been so

[09:45] popular that now it is a really a

[09:47] household thing moving the needle and

[09:50] helping to win this cultural battle

[09:52] getting no joke billions and billions of

[09:55] views. It is uh it is a remarkable thing

[09:58] to witness and to be a part of. So, make
