00:00:29.000His 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.
00:00:37.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:07.000The 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.
00:01:19.000I've always said Golden Corral is actually largely underrated, but that's a separate issue for a different time.
00:01:25.000Let's play Cut 97 and I'll have you respond, Raheem.
00:02:16.000Yeah, 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.
00:02:30.000It's amazing to me, and I'm fascinated by, especially what you were talking about in the lead-in to this.
00:02:35.000You 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.
00:03:01.000Now, 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.
00:03:09.000And I looked into the company, by the way, which does Does huge amounts of work for veterans, charitable work for veterans.
00:03:15.000And it seemed particularly mean-spirited to go after that.
00:03:20.000But 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?
00:03:30.000With those big thick glasses and has the audacity to talk about taste and what's gross or not.
00:03:44.000Yeah, 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.
00:04:07.000So 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?
00:04:15.000She 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.
00:04:28.000Well, 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.
00:04:42.000And 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?
00:04:54.000Because they're afraid of a few people making fun of them in response on Twitter.
00:04:59.000I'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.
00:05:15.000And 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.
00:05:27.000And let's dissect her little quip at the end where she says, oh, yeah, there's an audience for Golden Corral.
00:05:34.000This is a class issue, is what she's really starting.
00:05:39.000As 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.
00:05:49.000And now I'm going to get all the hate mail from the Chipriani crowd, which is great.
00:05:53.000I actually would love to get, I think Chipriani is largely overrated.
00:05:58.000And I know that's like a hate crime to say that.
00:06:01.000Anyway, the portions are small and the prices are high.
00:06:03.000It's like eating at a kosher restaurant.
00:06:04.000It's twice the price and half the taste.
00:06:06.000And a religious Jew will tell you that.
00:06:08.000So, but the point is that Golden Corral is a good place to eat.
00:06:13.000I 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.
00:06:20.000But the point is that it's class, right, Rahim?
00:06:22.000Which is that if you are below a certain income level, you are not as enlightened as I am.
00:06:29.000Yeah, and the amazing thing about it, as we know, is that money does not buy class.
00:07:24.000And 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.
00:08:15.000You 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.
00:08:26.000But this goes to the heart of who they are as people, which is it's all a facade.
00:08:31.000It's all designed to make themselves feel better about themselves.
00:08:35.000And that would be fine if they're keeping it to themselves, but they're not.
00:08:39.000They take it that extra step further and they go, and that makes me better than you.
00:08:43.000Well, look, again, I've never eaten a golden corral.
00:08:47.000I don't suspect that this massive company that feeds people for relatively good prices is, you know, oat cuisine.
00:08:57.000But 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.
00:09:16.000And she's not funny and she has contempt.
00:09:18.000And that is at the base of the modern left is contempt for other people.
00:09:23.000And that is a colonialist belief, actually.
00:09:25.000These are the modern day colonialists, where if this woman was in charge of anything, goodness, she isn't.
00:09:31.000She would roll the tanks in and obliterate the Walmarts and the Golden Corrals and erect some sort of really sad vegan restaurant portfolio.
00:10:02.000You go to Chipriani in New York City, it'd be the opposite.
00:10:06.000A lot more wisdom in a buffet line at Golden Corral than getting some sort of overrated $95 pasta dish in central Manhattan.
00:10:16.000America has always been the world leader in invention, innovation, and technology.
00:10:20.000Now China is poised to take its place as the next world leader in technology.
00:10:25.000Don't miss the shocking new movie, Innovation Race, available now at salemnow.com.
00:10:30.000It 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.
00:10:39.000China could soon control all of our 5G technology, which will eventually control all of our devices.
00:10:46.000With 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.
00:10:55.000Innovation Race is a clarion call to action.
00:11:00.000Unless we take a stand, China will become the next world leader, threatening our economic and military security and the very idea of American greatness.
00:11:08.000In today's high technology world, there is no prize for second place.
00:11:33.000Play 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.
00:12:35.000I mean, it's so hard to try and be charitable.
00:12:41.000You know, we have to try and be charitable in everything we do and in every person and start with forgiveness, right, in our hearts.
00:12:49.000And it's so very difficult when you see something like that, when in reality, you know what that person is saying.
00:12:55.000That person is saying, hey, it's getting harder for us to groom children.
00:13:00.000You 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.
00:13:17.000And 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.
00:13:32.000And 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.
00:13:44.000And 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.
00:13:56.000Instead of dealing with that, instead of trusting the science, we are asked to trust emotion.
00:14:02.000We are asked to lead with the thing that they exploit in us most, which again is our forgiving natures.
00:14:09.000And then, again, I mean, I use the word audacity a lot.
00:14:13.000And then we have these people going up there and having the audacity to pretty much say it like it is.
00:14:18.000They dance around it a little bit for the cameras, but really, I mean, you said you shouldn't use the word gag there.
00:14:24.000I'm pretty certain that actually in that person's head, they're going, you know, I got that one over.
00:14:30.000It's, you know, you want to talk about gross to carry on the theme of the last segment.
00:14:33.000It's gross, but it requires really, really being grown up in our conversation about this.
00:14:40.000And the grown-up part of all of this, Charlie, is to say no, right?
00:14:59.000And I think we have to dig our staffs in the ground and be a little firmer about that.
00:15:04.000Yeah, and we have an entire ruling class that is afraid to say no.
00:15:10.000And 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.
00:15:19.000What is the ultimate motivation of the grooming of children?
00:15:22.000That's a deep topic, but go there if you wish.
00:15:26.000Yeah, 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.
00:15:43.000And this is actually becoming a bigger and bigger thing in academic circles and philosophical circles on the left now.
00:15:48.000So I am working on a new substack about that.
00:15:51.000It'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.
00:15:57.000It's something that I'm trying to get my head around fully now as well.
00:16:47.000When Mike Lindell, great American patriot, invented My Pillow, it had everything you could ever want in a pillow.
00:16:53.000But now 20 years later, he discovered a new technology that makes it even better.
00:16:56.000The My Pillow 2.0 has a patented, adjustable fill on the original My Pillow.
00:17:02.000And now with a brand new fabric that is made with a temperature regulating thread.

00:18:03.000And 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.
00:18:08.000But 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.
00:18:17.000And then for eight months of a year, you have a different one.
00:18:18.000So it's coming up in a couple of weeks with the time.
00:18:24.000Okay, 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...
00:19:03.000So, 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.
00:19:11.000And 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.
00:19:26.000Because what we've been doing, Charlie, for a long time now is promoting political agendas ahead of merit, ahead of skill, ahead of quality.
00:19:38.000And we are getting to the point now where we, because we've been introducing work quotas and we've been introducing these new ideas.
00:19:45.000We have a transportation secretary who was given his job because of his sex life, who has no qualifications whatsoever for that position.
00:19:52.000We're now in a position in our country where everything seems like it's just falling apart.
00:19:58.000All of the systems, the routine maintenance, the trains can't seem to be running properly.
00:20:03.000And you talk to the left and they'll say, oh, this is because of greed.
00:20:13.000And 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.
00:20:40.000They have plenty of rivers, but at the same time, they can't get water to the people.
00:20:44.000And so this footage that we're all looking at comes to us by way of Joel Pollack from Breitbart.
00:20:49.000And I just have to say, congratulations, South Africa.
00:20:52.000You are the first country to achieve total equity, full equality, full inclusion in your workforce.
00:20:58.000The level of equity and equality is off the charts because everyone is suffering equally.
00:21:04.000That'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.
00:21:15.000And 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.
00:21:25.000And you're seeing this across the country.
00:21:38.000And 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.
00:21:51.000They called it employment equity, Charlie.
00:21:54.000I know that I have, because the parliamentary move would give, quote, preferences to people on the basis of race and ultimately require racial quotas.
00:22:02.000Said Anita Jeffrey of the South African Institute of Race Relations.
00:22:07.000To 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.
00:22:16.000I'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.
00:22:27.000And you said it perfectly, Charlie, at the start here.
00:22:30.000What 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.
00:22:41.000And 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.
00:22:51.000What they're doing is based along racial lines.
00:22:53.000So it's sort of communism with a racial ethnic basis to it, neo-Bolshevism, whatever you want to call it.
00:22:59.000It's the same exact precepts, but applied along different lines.
00:23:03.000And of course, this is always the outcome of it.
00:23:07.000I think it's terrible for everyone living there, obviously, regardless of the color of your skin, et cetera.
00:23:11.000But we're seeing the same thing here in the United States because what we've been doing, it's simple, Charlie.
00:23:18.000If 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.
00:23:29.000Just look at the Biden administration.
00:23:32.000Yeah, I mean, we're playing with some really, this is a high-stakes game.
00:23:35.000And 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.
00:23:53.000And they'll say, well, this is just an academic thing.
00:24:16.000I mean, Charlie, you just said it right there.
00:24:19.000The 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.
00:24:35.000But then the airline said, you know what?
00:24:40.000We 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.
00:24:50.000And that's why we need to put this person in the head.
00:24:53.000What about, Charlie, they're getting away with MCATs.
00:24:56.000We're doing away with standardized testing.
00:24:58.000What happens when your doctor, what happens when your surgeon is there?
00:25:17.000Chapter 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.
00:25:39.000Charlie, they're doing the exact same thing here.
00:25:43.000And Jack, here's one of the tragedies.
00:25:45.000It will create more bigotry and more stereotyping.
00:25:49.000So 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.
00:26:02.000I 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.
00:26:14.000They are changing medical licensing exams.
00:26:31.000You remember this, this famously came up with Mindy Kaling's brother.
00:26:34.000So the famous actress Mindy Kaling came out in 2015 and says, I faked being black, and that's how I got into medical school.
00:26:40.000This 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.
00:26:48.000There's no way that you can threaten me.
00:26:50.000So 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.
00:26:55.000If you want to identify as multiracial, as quasi-racial, pseudo-racial, whatever, go for it.
00:27:01.000Because who is actually going to question this?
00:27:03.000How are they going to enforce any of it?
00:27:04.000I think the way to defeat it is to break the system.
00:27:06.000What they call equity is they want to create a world where you are in a deficit if you are white.
00:27:16.000That is the world they're trying to create.
00:27:29.000But 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.
00:27:40.000They just said, okay, now we're going to extract revenge on the colonizers because now we're in charge.
00:27:46.000And South Africa is not a functioning country.
00:28:01.000If 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.
00:28:05.000And the people calling me that are actually bigots.
00:28:08.000Jack, there might be a revival happening in our country.
00:28:11.000I'm sure you're keeping an eye on that.
00:28:13.000As a Catholic, I'm just curious, what are your thoughts on this?
00:28:16.000And more broadly, we need a spiritual reset.
00:28:21.000Well, 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.
00:28:36.000And 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.
00:28:46.000I wonder if the FBI is monitoring Asperg University right now.
00:28:50.000Oh, I'm sure they've got plans in Asbury University.
00:28:52.000I'm sure there's the same way I'm sure there's federal plans all over East Palestine right now.
00:28:56.000I wonder if Ray Eps has been seen in the area.
00:28:59.000But 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.
00:29:08.000What 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.
00:29:17.000So I'm sure they're going to target this next.
00:29:18.000They're going to put on the list for Asbury University.
00:29:22.000Because 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.
00:29:34.000You're seeing standing room only, or as we say on the Catholic side, kneeling room only, that you cannot, they're packed.
00:29:42.000They're just absolutely packed to the gills.
00:29:43.000The 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.
00:29:53.000And you're seeing the exact same thing with this revival.
00:31:07.000You 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.
00:31:52.000And 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.
00:32:02.000All of these are matters of theological faith.
00:32:08.000And 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.
00:32:17.000And it turns out that there's a book that was written a few years ago.
00:32:22.000And 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.
00:32:32.000And apparently, that book has been there all along.
00:32:35.000And all we need to do is open it up and actually start reading it.
