Podbit · The Charlie Kirk Show
The Power Rangers movie added revenge porn and detention hall antiheroes to a franchise about pure-hearted do-gooders in spandex — and it bombed. Zero irony is the correct setting for children's entertainment. Just let them be awesome.

Jack Posobiec makes a pointed historical argument: the original He-Man franchise didn't just fade away — it was killed by She-Ra. [1] — Jack Posobiec "The original He-Man franchise collapsed not because it ran its course, but because the creators introduced She-Ra and diluted the male iden…" 36:58 The moment the franchise introduced a twin sister with equal powers, the boys lost interest. It wasn't merely inclusion; it was dilution of the fundamental identity of the property. The panel immediately extends this to the all-female Ghostbusters reboot (universally panned) and the Supergirl film, which the panel dismisses in a single sentence as not worth discussing. Blake notes that the new He-Man movie itself made similar errors — the first hour is described as 'very female-coded,' with the hero working in an HR department and getting fired by a female boss presented earnestly rather than as satire. Russ defends this as the latter being deliberate commentary, but the panel consensus is it undermined the film's marketing. Andrew notes the film also contains a post-credits scene strongly implying Sydney Sweeney will play She-Ra in a sequel — an announcement that generates complex reactions given the panel's views, though ultimately endorsed as the right commercial play if Amazon wants to monetize the franchise.
Andrew Colvett claimed that in a Massachusetts vote on women's suffrage, 94% of women voted against it, arguing that feminism was historically opposed by women themselves.
Andrew Colvett cited a statistic that 62% of college degrees now go to women, a dramatic reversal from when men dominated higher education at roughly an 80/20 split.
Erin Brockovich describes data center expansion as 'a full-on assault' hitting communities across water, electricity, noise, air pollution, and land loss. She calls it the biggest bipartisan conversation she's seen in her 30-year career — and warns that tech companies didn't see the coming backlash.
Demanding an emergency fund balance on a first date is the wrong approach. What you're really looking for is someone with character, maturity, and a direction — not a perfect financial snapshot. You can build a budget in 20 minutes; you can't build character that fast.
The fear of not being financially ready to have children is almost always a failure to run the real budget. On $110K a year, you can afford a child. What you can't afford is the fantasy nursery, the bigger car, and staying home on one income without a plan.
You've already said enough. The enabling, the financial dysfunction, the fear it'll land in your lap — if you can't say yes with full confidence, the answer is no. Tell Mom to rent a cheap one-bedroom, sell her house, and buy a condo near the grandkids instead.
Bobby watching a father hold his baby triggered an existential moment: he and Andrew might be missing fatherhood. They priced out adoption ($40K–$70K private, $0–$2K foster care) and briefly considered adopting a child to timeshare like a condo.
In 1950, 60% of the world lived in extreme poverty. Today it's roughly 1 in 10. Capitalism and economic growth did that — nothing else has ever worked at scale. The challenge now isn't generating enough wealth; it's building the political will to distribute it.
The manosphere begins with genuinely useful advice — get fit, be ambitious, find a partner. But it rapidly devolves into dominance, misogyny, and crypto university grifts. The most famous manosphere figures are running $50-a-month Ponzi schemes, exploiting the very loneliness they pretend to cure.
Throughout human history, only 40% of men have ever reproduced. Romantic success has never been guaranteed — it has always required effort, self-development, and resilience. The incel movement's core lie is telling men they're owed something that no man has ever been owed.
The most common word Scott Galloway has heard in his life is no. That's not a failure — it's the mechanism through which great yeses are earned. For shy young men, the path forward is simple: approach people, accept rejection, repeat. Resilience to discomfort is the only real competitive advantage.
