00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, Raheem Kassam and Jack Pasobic join us.

00:00:03.000 We talk about Grud Gutfeld, Golden Corral, class warfare, South Africa, train derailments, and a little bit of a revival.

00:00:11.000 Email me your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com, and subscribe to our podcast.

00:00:14.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:15.000 Here we go.

00:00:16.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:18.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:20.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:24.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:27.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:28.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:29.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:37.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:00:46.000 That's why we are here.

00:00:49.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:00:52.000 For personalized law services, you can count on.

00:00:54.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandod.com.

00:01:02.000 Joining us now is Raheem Kassam.

00:01:04.000 Raheem, welcome back to the program.

00:01:06.000 Lots of topics we can cover.

00:01:07.000 The one in particular I want to start with is this, the daily show creator freaks out over Greg Gutfeld's ratings, but says the audience is gross and insults Golden Corral.

00:01:19.000 I've always said Golden Corral is actually largely underrated, but that's a separate issue for a different time.

00:01:25.000 Let's play Cut 97 and I'll have you respond, Raheem.

00:01:29.000 Look, here's what I always say. 0.99

00:01:31.000 He ain't funny to me, but we see that there's an audience out there for shit like that. 1.00

00:01:36.000 There's an audience out there for shit like Joe Rogan. 1.00

00:01:38.000 There's an audience out there of shitty people. 1.00

00:01:41.000 If 70 million, however, 70 million people voted for Trump like Fox News, those people are going to laugh at that we think is up. 0.98

00:01:51.000 Is he funny?

00:01:52.000 Not to me. 1.00

00:01:54.000 But he makes jokes about shit that I care about, which is gross. 0.99

00:01:57.000 I think that whole situation is gross, but there's a market for it. 0.99

00:02:01.000 The bottom line is there's a market for it.

00:02:02.000 You know what else I think is gross?

00:02:04.000 Golden Corral.

00:02:05.000 But like people like it.

00:02:07.000 Now, I give it 50-50 odds that Greg Guttfeld does his show live from Golden Corral tonight.

00:02:13.000 But Raheem, your response.

00:02:16.000 Yeah, you know, I put this up on the sub stack because I just thought it was one of these amazing kind of Deplorables 2.0, or I suppose we're on to, you know, Deplorables 10,000.0 moments where you have this.

00:02:30.000 It's amazing to me, and I'm fascinated by, especially what you were talking about in the lead-in to this.

00:02:35.000 You know, if somebody needs a bit of humility and they step away from their own narcissism, it's somebody like Liz Winstead, who, as you say, co-created the daily show, fancies herself as a comedian, has tried her hand at stand-up, I will add not particularly successfully, but has the audacity, the temerity to sneer at audiences who, as you say, and as she said, go to Golden Corral.

00:03:01.000 Now, I've never been to Golden Corral, but you can bet your bottom dollar I will be going to Golden Corral after that anti-endorsement by Liz Winstead.

00:03:09.000 And I looked into the company, by the way, which does Does huge amounts of work for veterans, charitable work for veterans.

00:03:15.000 And it seemed particularly mean-spirited to go after that.

00:03:20.000 But the sneering on all of this that you see from this, this, I mean, I can't believe what this woman looks like, by the way, looks like Larry David's dad in Kirby Enthusiasm, right?

00:03:30.000 With those big thick glasses and has the audacity to talk about taste and what's gross or not.

00:03:37.000 Well, let's talk.

00:03:38.000 I've decided to go into her history a little bit.

00:03:40.000 She's the archbishop.

00:03:43.000 Please continue.

00:03:44.000 Yeah, I went and saw an interview with her from back in 2013 where she said that her favorite food was spaghetti and meatballs on a stick, where she confessed that a lot of the times her breakfast was just three doughnuts from the box of Krispy Kremes in the MSNBC green room and late night bath snacks, which are obviously fried in all kinds of seed oils that have been sitting there for weeks on end.

00:04:07.000 So again, I don't think she has a particularly good frame of reference for taste, but that leads us on to the bigger part of this, right?

00:04:15.000 She says that she wouldn't go in the full clip, she says she wouldn't go on shows like that, and I'm sure shows like yours, because what it leads to is trolls on her Twitter account.

00:04:28.000 Well, think about it this way: if you're a comedian, probably one of the best things that you can gauge your own success by is hecklers, whether you get hecklers and how you deal with the hecklers.

00:04:42.000 And I think it just speaks so much to who these people are that they're afraid to go on television shows, interviews with counter-programming, the programming in their head, right?

00:04:54.000 Because they're afraid of a few people making fun of them in response on Twitter.

00:04:58.000 Listen, I've been on CNN.

00:04:59.000 I've been in the heat of those, you know, panel discussions where 15 people are screaming at you all at once and you kind of have to hold your breath and take a step back and assess the battlefield, the rhetorical battlefield, and make your point and make it, you know, make it still with a smile in your face.

00:05:15.000 And the fact of the matter is here, people like Liz Winstead are, you know, the hardcore progressive extremist left, you know, they can deal with nothing in the shape of scrutiny and they certainly can't deal with the heckles.

00:05:27.000 And let's dissect her little quip at the end where she says, oh, yeah, there's an audience for Golden Corral.

00:05:34.000 This is a class issue, is what she's really starting.

00:05:37.000 That's the lines that she's drawing.

00:05:39.000 As if you can't go to Chipriani every night for dinner and afford $38 for, you know, a rather average tasting Barata appetizer, that I might say.

00:05:49.000 And now I'm going to get all the hate mail from the Chipriani crowd, which is great. 1.00

00:05:53.000 I actually would love to get, I think Chipriani is largely overrated.

00:05:58.000 And I know that's like a hate crime to say that.

00:06:01.000 Anyway, the portions are small and the prices are high.

00:06:03.000 It's like eating at a kosher restaurant.

00:06:04.000 It's twice the price and half the taste.

00:06:06.000 And a religious Jew will tell you that. 0.98

00:06:08.000 So, but the point is that Golden Corral is a good place to eat.

00:06:13.000 I wouldn't necessarily do Valentine's Day there, but Lord knows that I went to Golden Corral many times when I was doing AAU basketball tournaments.

00:06:20.000 But the point is that it's class, right, Rahim?

00:06:22.000 Which is that if you are below a certain income level, you are not as enlightened as I am.

00:06:29.000 Yeah, and the amazing thing about it, as we know, is that money does not buy class.

00:06:34.000 Money does not buy taste.

00:06:36.000 Money does certainly not buy manners.

00:06:38.000 It doesn't buy security in yourself.

00:06:41.000 It doesn't buy happiness.

00:06:42.000 It doesn't buy godliness.

00:06:44.000 And it's fascinating to me that this person goes up there and makes, as you say, this incredible class distinction.

00:06:51.000 We have dealt with class politics in my country in the United Kingdom for time immemorial, right?

00:06:57.000 And now you see this class division coming here.

00:07:00.000 The thing is, and I hate to get this arcane about it, but it's the people who think that foie gras is fancy.

00:07:10.000 Now, I love foie-grash.

00:07:12.000 You know, you can get it for $5, a massive tin in France.

00:07:12.000 I'm from Europe.

00:07:16.000 And it's peasant food, right?

00:07:18.000 It's meant to be just a loaf of bread and some foie-rough, and you just eat it for sustenance.

00:07:22.000 It tastes good.

00:07:23.000 It comes from the farm.

00:07:24.000 And then what happens is people like Liz Winstead, like you say, they go into these fancy restaurants where they're served this amount of food and it costs $500.

00:07:32.000 By the way, we've tried it.

00:07:32.000 That's exactly right.

00:07:34.000 This is not an envy thing.

00:07:35.000 I've conjured by Liz.

00:07:37.000 I completely agree.

00:07:38.000 Yes, this is keep going.

00:07:40.000 No, I mean, I happen to have been blessed to have a pretty amazing decade and exposed to a lot.

00:07:45.000 A lot of this is overrated.

00:07:47.000 Let's just be honest. 0.96

00:07:48.000 A lot of the delicacies of the ruling class. 0.89

00:07:50.000 That's what you're paying for.

00:07:52.000 It's like modern art.

00:07:53.000 It's like a signed urinal, and you're like, that's really ugly.

00:07:56.000 Can't say that.

00:07:57.000 Just enjoy it. 1.00

00:07:58.000 Shut up. 1.00

00:07:58.000 Okay. 1.00

00:07:59.000 Enjoy it.

00:08:00.000 I would rather go to Outback.

00:08:01.000 I'm sorry.

00:08:04.000 I'm glad you picked up on that because, you know, this goes to how they live their lives.

00:08:10.000 It's everything about them, right?

00:08:12.000 It's a farce.

00:08:13.000 It's consumerism gone mad.

00:08:15.000 You know, we all believe in market, economics, and the ability of real capitalists to earn a real dime and to spend your money how you like to spend your money.

00:08:26.000 But this goes to the heart of who they are as people, which is it's all a facade.

00:08:31.000 It's all designed to make themselves feel better about themselves.

00:08:35.000 And that would be fine if they're keeping it to themselves, but they're not.

00:08:39.000 They take it that extra step further and they go, and that makes me better than you.

00:08:43.000 Well, look, again, I've never eaten a golden corral.

00:08:47.000 I don't suspect that this massive company that feeds people for relatively good prices is, you know, oat cuisine.

00:08:57.000 But again, you know, imagine going on camera like she did and effectively lecturing people that they're not as good as you because they can't afford the type of food that you sometimes eat.

00:09:10.000 I think it's gross. 0.94

00:09:11.000 I think she's really the gross one. 0.98

00:09:13.000 And I think she is really who Hillary Clinton wanted to be. 0.99

00:09:16.000 That's exactly right. 1.00

00:09:16.000 And she's not funny and she has contempt. 1.00

00:09:18.000 And that is at the base of the modern left is contempt for other people.

00:09:23.000 And that is a colonialist belief, actually.

00:09:25.000 These are the modern day colonialists, where if this woman was in charge of anything, goodness, she isn't. 1.00

00:09:31.000 She would roll the tanks in and obliterate the Walmarts and the Golden Corrals and erect some sort of really sad vegan restaurant portfolio.

00:09:41.000 And yeah, I'm sorry.

00:09:43.000 I'm going to keep on defending people's rights to go to Golden Corral.

00:09:45.000 I didn't think that was what I was going to be talking about today, but I guarantee you this.

00:09:50.000 I'll close this.

00:09:50.000 If you go to the Golden Corral and just ask an average person three basic questions, like, is there a difference between man and woman?

00:09:57.000 Like, is America a decent country?

00:09:59.000 And do you think we should have borders?

00:10:00.000 90%, I'm sure, would agree with you.

00:10:02.000 You go to Chipriani in New York City, it'd be the opposite.

00:10:06.000 A lot more wisdom in a buffet line at Golden Corral than getting some sort of overrated $95 pasta dish in central Manhattan.

00:10:16.000 America has always been the world leader in invention, innovation, and technology.

00:10:20.000 Now China is poised to take its place as the next world leader in technology.

00:10:25.000 Don't miss the shocking new movie, Innovation Race, available now at salemnow.com.

00:10:30.000 It exposes the truth, how China is exploiting weaknesses in our U.S. patent system, stealing our inventions and technology, and we are helping them do it. 0.98

00:10:39.000 China could soon control all of our 5G technology, which will eventually control all of our devices. 0.92

00:10:46.000 With the flip of a switch, the Chinese Communist Party could turn off our power grids, remotely drive your car off your road, or turn off your pacemaker. 0.88

00:10:55.000 Innovation Race is a clarion call to action.

00:10:58.000 Watch it today on SalemNow.com.

00:11:00.000 Unless we take a stand, China will become the next world leader, threatening our economic and military security and the very idea of American greatness. 1.00

00:11:08.000 In today's high technology world, there is no prize for second place.

00:11:26.000 Okay, I do want to play this piece of tape here, and we can get a reaction.

00:11:32.000 Here it is.

00:11:33.000 Play cut 86 of the mentally disturbed person who runs, I get like rear admiral for the Navy on Florida's parental rights and education bill. 0.58

00:11:46.000 This person really needs help.

00:11:48.000 I don't say that lightly.

00:11:49.000 I think I would love to see Richard Levine go to the revival.

00:11:55.000 I think it could do a lot of good for him.

00:11:56.000 He needs a soul reborn, and only Jesus can do that. 0.96

00:12:00.000 He's a very sick person. 0.93

00:12:01.000 Play cut 86. 1.00

00:12:03.000 One example would be the quote-unquote, don't say gay law in Florida.

00:12:07.000 This law forbids kids, essentially, from talking to these people.

00:12:12.000 And also, it means that if you tell a teacher, the teacher has to tell the parent.

00:12:17.000 And so it really is a gag rule.

00:12:20.000 It's a gag law to prevent kids from accessing supportive adults.

00:12:26.000 Now, look, if there was a word that he should never say, gag would be on the list.

00:12:31.000 Raheem, your response.

00:12:33.000 My response is in my eyes.

00:12:35.000 I mean, it's so hard to try and be charitable.

00:12:41.000 You know, we have to try and be charitable in everything we do and in every person and start with forgiveness, right, in our hearts.

00:12:49.000 And it's so very difficult when you see something like that, when in reality, you know what that person is saying.

00:12:55.000 That person is saying, hey, it's getting harder for us to groom children.

00:13:00.000 You know, this makes it marginally more difficult for us to shove our ideology, our sexual ideology down the throats of impressionable, not just young adults, but children, children.

00:13:17.000 And I think I had this conversation last night with friends where we're sort of going through some of what Senator Rubio is doing and some of the rules surrounding how long you have to have identified as one gender or the other to serve in the U.S. military.

00:13:32.000 And it's like we bend over backwards to deal with what is effectively a malign mental illness writ large across the Western world right now.

00:13:44.000 And instead of trying to get to the bottom of it, and there is a very definable rationale behind where a lot of this stuff is coming from, a scientific rationale, by the way, where a lot of this stuff is coming from.

00:13:56.000 Instead of dealing with that, instead of trusting the science, we are asked to trust emotion.

00:14:02.000 We are asked to lead with the thing that they exploit in us most, which again is our forgiving natures.

00:14:09.000 And then, again, I mean, I use the word audacity a lot.

00:14:13.000 And then we have these people going up there and having the audacity to pretty much say it like it is.

00:14:18.000 They dance around it a little bit for the cameras, but really, I mean, you said you shouldn't use the word gag there.

00:14:24.000 I'm pretty certain that actually in that person's head, they're going, you know, I got that one over.

00:14:30.000 It's, you know, you want to talk about gross to carry on the theme of the last segment.

00:14:33.000 It's gross, but it requires really, really being grown up in our conversation about this.

00:14:40.000 And the grown-up part of all of this, Charlie, is to say no, right?

00:14:44.000 It's the Chad meme.

00:14:46.000 It's not to baby them.

00:14:48.000 It's not to mollycoddle them.

00:14:49.000 It's not to say, oh, poor you, you don't know what gender you are.

00:14:52.000 And dear God, man, what are you wearing a skirt for?

00:14:55.000 But it's just to say no.

00:14:57.000 Thou shalt not pass.

00:14:59.000 And I think we have to dig our staffs in the ground and be a little firmer about that.

00:15:04.000 Yeah, and we have an entire ruling class that is afraid to say no.

00:15:10.000 And that is the mark that they've never actually matured and also that they do not have intestinal fortitude, gumption, a spine, or testosterone to stand up against evil.

00:15:19.000 What is the ultimate motivation of the grooming of children?

00:15:22.000 That's a deep topic, but go there if you wish.

00:15:26.000 Yeah, I don't know if I could do it in one minute, but I have been reading a lot about the difference now between transhumanism, which I think a lot of people have gotten their heads around the last couple of years, and this new idea of anti-humanism, the idea that the species must go extinct to save the planet.

00:15:43.000 And this is actually becoming a bigger and bigger thing in academic circles and philosophical circles on the left now.

00:15:48.000 So I am working on a new substack about that.

00:15:51.000 It's less funny than the Liz Winstead one, but I'd be happy to come back and talk about it with you at length when it's fully fleshed out.

00:15:57.000 It's something that I'm trying to get my head around fully now as well.

00:16:00.000 I would enjoy that.

00:16:01.000 And it's nothing new.

00:16:02.000 I mean, you read back to Greek philosophers used to admonish religious Jewish circles because they didn't kill all their children. 0.79

00:16:12.000 Some Greek philosophers wrote at length, who are these Jews that allow the ugly and the deformed children to live? 1.00

00:16:19.000 What motivates them? 0.98

00:16:20.000 They couldn't believe it.

00:16:21.000 Because in pagan Greek culture, the idea that every child is a gift from God, you don't derive that from worshiping the rivers.

00:16:31.000 Raheem, thank you so much.

00:16:32.000 Appreciate you.

00:16:33.000 Thanks for having me.

00:16:34.000 Cheers.

00:17:59.000 Well, Charlie, you're on Pacific time.

00:18:00.000 Well, I said, it depends.

00:18:01.000 It's very unusual.

00:18:03.000 And for most people in Arizona, it doesn't mean a lot because you just go through your life and the clocks never change in Arizona.

00:18:08.000 But if you configure your entire work schedule and your career off Eastern time, for literally four months of the year, you have a certain flow of life.

00:18:17.000 And then for eight months of a year, you have a different one.

00:18:18.000 So it's coming up in a couple of weeks with the time.

00:18:21.000 I just do it the easy way.

00:18:22.000 I just live on the East Coast.

00:18:23.000 There you go, Jack.

00:18:23.000 You found the real hack.

00:18:24.000 Okay, so Jack, if I were to just isolate you and let's say that you had a traumatic brain injury and you woke up in a hospital and you hadn't watched any news for two weeks and I said...

00:18:33.000 So like John Fetterman.

00:18:34.000 Yeah, well, similar, right, but far more sentient and able to understand information.

00:18:40.000 But let's just say you had nothing, or you went into the wilderness for two weeks.

00:18:43.000 You came back.

00:18:43.000 I said, hey, Jack, let me just lay out these facts for you.

00:18:45.000 There are hazardous materials and trains being derailed.

00:18:48.000 There are UFOs flying over the American homeland that we're shooting down.

00:18:52.000 We can't have eggs.

00:18:53.000 We have food shortages, baby formula shortages, supply chain shortages.

00:18:57.000 You'd say, are we at war?

00:18:59.000 So, Jack, let me ask you a question.

00:19:01.000 What the heck is going on?

00:19:03.000 So, you know, Charlie, what we're going through, and we've been covering this on the program recently, and I just call it the collapse of complex systems.

00:19:11.000 And one of the things that I'm in a lot of trouble right now for on the internet, which is which is usual for me, is that I was using South Africa as an example of what we've been doing because they're about 20 or 15 to 20 years ahead of us on this path.

00:19:26.000 Because what we've been doing, Charlie, for a long time now is promoting political agendas ahead of merit, ahead of skill, ahead of quality.

00:19:38.000 And we are getting to the point now where we, because we've been introducing work quotas and we've been introducing these new ideas.

00:19:45.000 We have a transportation secretary who was given his job because of his sex life, who has no qualifications whatsoever for that position.

00:19:52.000 We're now in a position in our country where everything seems like it's just falling apart.

00:19:58.000 All of the systems, the routine maintenance, the trains can't seem to be running properly.

00:20:03.000 And you talk to the left and they'll say, oh, this is because of greed.

00:20:06.000 This is because of capitalism.

00:20:08.000 What's the capitalism?

00:20:09.000 Where's the profit incentive for everything falling apart?

00:20:12.000 No, that doesn't explain it.

00:20:13.000 And so the reason that I brought up South Africa is because if you've just seen a couple of days ago, South Africa's president just announced that they are in an energy crisis.

00:20:22.000 Their entire energy grid is failing.

00:20:25.000 They are invoking the disaster law now because they're introducing power shortages.

00:20:31.000 They have to do this so they can have any power at all whatsoever.

00:20:34.000 They've also got water issues at the same time.

00:20:36.000 They're having water supply issues.

00:20:38.000 I mean, they're right on the coast.

00:20:40.000 They have plenty of rivers, but at the same time, they can't get water to the people.

00:20:44.000 And so this footage that we're all looking at comes to us by way of Joel Pollack from Breitbart.

00:20:49.000 And I just have to say, congratulations, South Africa.

00:20:52.000 You are the first country to achieve total equity, full equality, full inclusion in your workforce.

00:20:58.000 The level of equity and equality is off the charts because everyone is suffering equally.

00:21:04.000 That's the only way and the only outcome that will ever come from forcing equality on an entire country or an entire group of people because human beings are inherently inequal.

00:21:13.000 That's just how it is.

00:21:14.000 We all have different talents.

00:21:15.000 And so what you're seeing there, those are images of the Central Mall in Cape Town, South Africa from just a couple of days ago that's completely blacked out.

00:21:25.000 And you're seeing this across the country.

00:21:26.000 Hospitals are having power issues.

00:21:28.000 Kids have to read by candlelight.

00:21:30.000 You're seeing images of kids that, you know, like the strobe light attached to their head kind of stuff, the flashlight.

00:21:36.000 And it's horrifying.

00:21:37.000 It's terrible.

00:21:38.000 And you go back to 1998 and Nelson Mandela, his government, and you can pull this up on the old CNN website, you know, the new CNN, you can never find it, but it says racial quota plan to become law.

00:21:51.000 They called it employment equity, Charlie.

00:21:53.000 Have you heard that phrase before?

00:21:54.000 I know that I have, because the parliamentary move would give, quote, preferences to people on the basis of race and ultimately require racial quotas.

00:22:02.000 Said Anita Jeffrey of the South African Institute of Race Relations.

00:22:07.000 To push this transition into the quote white-dominated ranks and make up for the wrongs of apartheid, Mandela's government backs a plan in which Black South Africa. 0.62

00:22:16.000 I'm just reading from CNN.com, by the way, government would back a plan in which Black South Africans, quote, would need to constitute 69% of the workforce at all levels from the top down.

00:22:26.000 And it goes on.

00:22:27.000 And you said it perfectly, Charlie, at the start here.

00:22:30.000 What they've done is they've taken the system of colonialism and inverted it, where you say, okay, well, we don't like this and we think this is racism.

00:22:39.000 So we're just going to reverse it.

00:22:41.000 And essentially what they're doing, you saw Mao do this in China, you saw Stalin do this in Russia, with the inversion being that this isn't just the rich.

00:22:51.000 What they're doing is based along racial lines.

00:22:53.000 So it's sort of communism with a racial ethnic basis to it, neo-Bolshevism, whatever you want to call it.

00:22:59.000 It's the same exact precepts, but applied along different lines.

00:23:03.000 And of course, this is always the outcome of it.

00:23:06.000 And it's horrific.

00:23:07.000 I think it's terrible for everyone living there, obviously, regardless of the color of your skin, et cetera.

00:23:11.000 But we're seeing the same thing here in the United States because what we've been doing, it's simple, Charlie.

00:23:18.000 If you start hiring people on the basis of race, gender, and sexual orientation, and you make that your lodestar, then it is always doomed to failure. 0.79

00:23:29.000 Just look at the Biden administration.

00:23:32.000 Yeah, I mean, we're playing with some really, this is a high-stakes game.

00:23:35.000 And I want to just drill this down for a second here with you, Jack, because at times when I talk to wealthy conservatives, sometimes, I think they're really starting to get it, but at some times they will resist my intensity warning about these things.

00:23:53.000 And they'll say, well, this is just an academic thing.

00:23:56.000 It's just, okay, it's wacky.

00:23:58.000 We don't like it.

00:23:58.000 You shouldn't teach kids it.

00:24:00.000 But eventually they're going to get into the real world.

00:24:03.000 But Jack, this is no longer a threat.

00:24:06.000 BlackRock has these ideas via ESG, United Airlines, State Street Partners, the federal government, the Marines, the Navy, the Air Force.

00:24:14.000 And so can you just reinforce?

00:24:16.000 I mean, Charlie, you just said it right there.

00:24:19.000 The airlines, wait until your airline pilot, when you get into your flight, when you go to the airport and you sign up for your flight and your airline pilot has been chosen, not necessarily because they were the best person for the job, but that multiple people were up for the job.

00:24:35.000 But then the airline said, you know what?

00:24:38.000 We've got a deficit in our ESG score.

00:24:40.000 We need to put someone ahead, even if they don't have the better qualifications, but because we need, we have a disparate representation in our workforce of our pilots.

00:24:50.000 And that's why we need to put this person in the head.

00:24:53.000 What about, Charlie, they're getting away with MCATs.

00:24:56.000 We're doing away with standardized testing.

00:24:58.000 What happens when your doctor, what happens when your surgeon is there?

00:25:01.000 And you're not going to know.

00:25:02.000 It's not like they're going to have some card on them that says this.

00:25:04.000 I'll go back to South Africa. 0.56

00:25:06.000 Go ahead.

00:25:07.000 Finish the point. 1.00

00:25:08.000 And finish the point because, and, you know, and I actually had someone, a lawyer in South Africa, Jack, you're an idiot. 1.00

00:25:14.000 I'm a constitutional lawyer, and I don't see anything like that. 1.00

00:25:16.000 Okay, here we go.

00:25:17.000 Chapter 10, Public Administration, Basic Values and Principles Governing Public Administration, Section 195, Paragraph I. Public administration must be broadly representative of the South African people with employment and personnel management practices based on ability, objectivity, fairness, and the need to redress the imbalances of the past to achieve broad representation.

00:25:39.000 Charlie, they're doing the exact same thing here.

00:25:43.000 And Jack, here's one of the tragedies.

00:25:45.000 It will create more bigotry and more stereotyping.

00:25:49.000 So if you are boarding a United Airlines flight and you see a black pilot, they are conditioning you to think, I don't know if he's there because he's a wonderful pilot. 0.98

00:26:00.000 And that's not good.

00:26:01.000 I don't want to live in that country.

00:26:02.000 I don't want to have that kind of lens, but that will be a rational thought that someone will have because of now the hiring quotas and because of the way that we are now putting people in positions of authority and power.

00:26:14.000 They are changing medical licensing exams.

00:26:17.000 I hope everyone knows this.

00:26:19.000 They are changing medical licensing exams so that it is pass fail because different scores were used to award residencies.

00:26:27.000 And those were, of course, racist.

00:26:29.000 One minute, Jack.

00:26:31.000 You remember this, this famously came up with Mindy Kaling's brother.

00:26:34.000 So the famous actress Mindy Kaling came out in 2015 and says, I faked being black, and that's how I got into medical school.

00:26:40.000 This came, he's obviously they're of Indian descent, but he decided to fake being black, was able to get into medical school, was able to go all the way through and say, there's no way that you can choose it. 0.93

00:26:48.000 There's no way that you can threaten me.

00:26:50.000 So Charlie, I think the way out of this really is for everyone to just go ahead and identify with whatever you feel works for you.

00:26:55.000 If you want to identify as multiracial, as quasi-racial, pseudo-racial, whatever, go for it. 1.00

00:27:01.000 Because who is actually going to question this?

00:27:03.000 How are they going to enforce any of it?

00:27:04.000 I think the way to defeat it is to break the system.

00:27:06.000 What they call equity is they want to create a world where you are in a deficit if you are white. 0.57

00:27:16.000 That is the world they're trying to create.

00:27:18.000 And it's really cruel to say that.

00:27:20.000 But when they say equity, they're trying to make it where you have a structural disadvantage through hiring.

00:27:26.000 It's almost like almost like apartheid.

00:27:28.000 Of course it is.

00:27:28.000 I know.

00:27:28.000 It almost sounds like that.

00:27:29.000 But that's what South Africa did is South Africa took the awful kind of moral, the immoral approach to apartheid, and they just flipped it upside down.

00:27:40.000 They just said, okay, now we're going to extract revenge on the colonizers because now we're in charge.

00:27:46.000 And South Africa is not a functioning country.

00:27:50.000 I'm incredibly bearish on that.

00:27:52.000 But Charlie, don't you dare.

00:27:54.000 Don't you dare say.

00:27:55.000 Don't you dare say it's because of this.

00:27:57.000 No, no, no. 1.00

00:27:58.000 You bigoted racist. 0.95

00:28:01.000 If I cared about being called a racist, I wouldn't say half the things I say on the show because I know it's not true. 0.97

00:28:05.000 And the people calling me that are actually bigots.

00:28:08.000 Jack, there might be a revival happening in our country.

00:28:11.000 I'm sure you're keeping an eye on that.

00:28:13.000 As a Catholic, I'm just curious, what are your thoughts on this?

00:28:16.000 And more broadly, we need a spiritual reset.

00:28:21.000 Well, Charlie, I've talked a lot about how in the Catholic side of things, we've been seeing a huge resurgence in the traditional Catholicism movement, a movement towards the traditional Latin Mass.

00:28:36.000 And if you go, if you find one of those churches that holds the traditional Latin Mass, this is the same one, by the way, that the FBI just put on a hit list.

00:28:46.000 I wonder if the FBI is monitoring Asperg University right now.

00:28:50.000 Oh, I'm sure they've got plans in Asbury University.

00:28:52.000 I'm sure there's the same way I'm sure there's federal plans all over East Palestine right now.

00:28:56.000 I wonder if Ray Eps has been seen in the area.

00:28:59.000 But this idea of people turning back to God, because that's what is at the heart of both of this in Asbury University, as well as the Tradcath movement.

00:29:08.000 What we're seeing in, and I've been talking about this for months now, if not a full year, the FBI, of course, has been targeting the Tradcath movement.

00:29:17.000 So I'm sure they're going to target this next.

00:29:18.000 They're going to put on the list for Asbury University.

00:29:22.000 Because if you go to any traditional Latin Mass right now, you will find there are families there of couples in their 20s with children, women wearing veils. 0.60

00:29:34.000 You're seeing standing room only, or as we say on the Catholic side, kneeling room only, that you cannot, they're packed.

00:29:42.000 They're just absolutely packed to the gills.

00:29:43.000 The last time I went to one down in Texas, I had to go in the overflow with Dr. Taylor Marshall and his family because there were just too many people that were in the church service.

00:29:53.000 And you're seeing the exact same thing with this revival.

00:29:57.000 I think it is a revival.

00:29:57.000 I think America is going through the fifth grade awakening.

00:30:01.000 We have to have fifth grade awakening.

00:30:03.000 If you're Catholic, go to Latin Mass. 1.00

00:30:05.000 If you're searching, go to this revival.

00:30:07.000 If you're Pentecostal, whatever it is, you got to get right with your creator.

00:30:11.000 Listen to this clip here.

00:30:12.000 Cut 100 at this revival.

00:30:17.000 Someone is publicly repenting of their sin, which takes humility and honesty.

00:30:21.000 And listen to the cheers.

00:30:23.000 I mean, I haven't seen anything like this in quite some time.

00:30:25.000 I've heard stories about revivals like this.

00:30:28.000 Play cut 100.

00:31:02.000 So, Jack, just talk more macro.

00:31:04.000 We need a spiritual revival.

00:31:07.000 You know, Charlie, we do need a spiritual revival because I think something that the Western church for so many years left out is the fact of the importance of understanding sin, the importance of understanding eternal damnation, and this idea of, you know, this tolerant Jesus, this woke Jesus that we've seen so many quasi-churches pushing now.

00:31:32.000 It's completely false.

00:31:33.000 Our institutions have been taken over by secular modernism, and we now live in clown world. 0.95

00:31:38.000 I was just talking about how South Africa is just a few years ahead of us on this timeline, but where everything's falling apart there.

00:31:44.000 And instead, what we did was we got rid of God and we tried to replace God with government.

00:31:49.000 And obviously, that doesn't work.

00:31:51.000 It doesn't work at all.

00:31:52.000 And we've also tried to replace God with a variety of neo-pagan religions, like worship of the climate, anti-racism, the state, yes, anti-racism.

00:32:02.000 All of these are matters of theological faith.

00:32:05.000 They are not matters of actual faith.

00:32:08.000 And so, this idea of people turning back to God, because they understand we live in a world where things are crumbling all around us every day.

00:32:14.000 And they want to find substance.

00:32:15.000 They want to find meaning.

00:32:16.000 They want to find hope.

00:32:17.000 And it turns out that there's a book that was written a few years ago.

00:32:22.000 And there was a guy that used to go around giving people the answers and giving people the guidelines for the way things are supposed to be and the way we're supposed to live.

00:32:32.000 And apparently, that book has been there all along.

00:32:35.000 And all we need to do is open it up and actually start reading it.

00:32:38.000 Jack, God bless you, man.

00:32:39.000 I'm going to be, if it's still going on, I'm going to go to Kentucky next week and see it for myself.

00:32:44.000 I hope this pops up all across the country.

00:32:45.000 I hope this happens in VFW halls, in Rotary Clubs.

00:32:49.000 I hope it happens in homes and in churches.

00:32:53.000 We have gone through four great awakenings in our country's history.

00:32:56.000 The first founded America, the second and the third.

00:32:58.000 Second saved us from widespread alcoholism.

00:33:01.000 The third helped lead to the abolition of slavery and eventually the win of the Civil War.

00:33:04.000 The fourth was Billy Graham's revival that I believe resisted the secular virus and Marxism.

00:33:09.000 The fifth, I think, could save us from these fake pagan heretical religions and get us right. 1.00

00:33:14.000 Jack, God bless you.

00:33:15.000 We're out of time.
