Charlamagne Tha God shocks ‘Daily Show’ crowd by trashing DEI with facts



Charlamagne Tha God has revealed how he really feels about DEI programs — and it’s not what anyone expected.

“The truth about DEI is that although it’s well-intentioned, it’s mostly garbage, okay? It’s kind of like the black Little Mermaid. Just because racists hate it, doesn’t mean it’s good,” Charlamagne said while guest-hosting “The Daily Show.”

“You know I’m right because every one of you has sat through one of those diversity training sessions and thought, ‘This is some bulls**t,’” he continued.

Charlamagne also complained that DEI programs actually “don’t make the workplace better for minorities” and said “DEI training is like DARE for racism.”

“You all know how effective that was. I was sitting there going, ‘Oh, there’s a ton of fun drugs I should try, I didn’t even know about Molly, thanks officer,’” he told the audience.

While Dave Rubin is impressed, he wants “to reiterate the point that he’s just reading a script.”

“These are not ideas coming out of his brain. I don’t know that they would have given that exact script to Jon Stewart because they do believe in this neo-racism,” Rubin says.

While Charlamagne was most likely reading from a script, Alex Stein is glad this script is being read.

“He does make a good point that when you make everything about race and gender, that is inherently racist,” Stein tells Rubin.

INSANE: Hollywood elites demand AI, calling thinking 'ghetto'



Stephen Colbert isn’t “worried about AI,” and the WEF’s Yuval Noah Harari is surprisingly not a fan of that sentiment.

“I’m ready for the big machines that make big decisions programmed by fellas with compassion and vision; I’m ready for the machines to tell us what to do,” Colbert told Harari.

Harari rebutted Colbert’s statement by saying that “it’s extremely dangerous to give up power to something we don’t understand.”

Pat Gray and Keith Malinak are shocked by the exchange.

“Harari is talking common sense to Colbert on this,” Malinak says. “That was so interesting how Colbert sets the premise that well, they’re being programmed by really good guys."

“Those are the kind of dummies that we need in America right now, ‘cause we’re heading down that path,” Gray says.

But a lot of Americans might agree with Colbert, especially a recent guest on Bobbi Althoff’s podcast.

While Suki and Althoff were arguing about whether or not Suki was a “musician” or a “magician,” Suki said, “I don’t think, baby, I don’t think. What is that? That’s ghetto, I don’t think.”

“This is idiocracy,” Malinak says, disturbed.

Stephen Colbert shredded for bit about Ronald Reagan in hell with demons 'dancing around' him 'chanting' he 'should've addressed the AIDS crisis'



Late-night TV host Stephen Colbert is getting shredded on social media for his bit about Ronald Reagan in hell with demons "dancing around" him and "chanting" that the former president "should've addressed the AIDS crisis."

What are the details?

The host of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Wednesday's episode ripped Republican politicians — and "independent, nonpartisan journalists" at Fox News — over U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy repeatedly failing to garner enough votes to become the new speaker of the House.

At one point the Colbert show played a clip of a frustrated Sean Hannity on Fox News wondering what Reagan would say about the ongoing drama on Capitol Hill.

With that, a delighted Colbert reacted by doing what the Hollywood Reporter characterized as an impression of Reagan being "awoken from the dead":

Uh, where am I? Everything was so dark for so long, and then there were these demons dancing around me chanting ... "you should have addressed the AIDS crisis when you had the chance." Then I woke up all of a sudden. Mommy!

As his audience dutifully laughed, clapped, and cheered, Colbert grimaced and seemingly mimicked poking Reagan with a pitchfork.

Here's the clip:

How are folks reacting?

Given the audience reaction to Colbert's impression of Reagan, no doubt there are many out there who also loved it. But others felt quite differently:

  • "What a scumbag Colbert is," one commenter said.
  • "Colbert is an ignorant fool," another user declared.
  • "He'll find out what hell is about soon enough," another user opined. "I doubt he'll see Reagan there, though."
  • "Has he ever spoken to his good buddy Tony Fauci about his role in the early days of the AIDS crisis?" another commenter wondered.
  • "Of course, this is an utter lie that was used to smear Reagan, but I guess the historically ignorant love to prove how truly ignorant they are," another wrote.

On that note, a link to an article on the Independent Gay Forum Culture Watch — originally published in 2003 for National Review Online — showed up in the comments as well. "The Truth about Reagan and AIDS" makes a case that the narrative that Reagan "did nothing, or worse, about AIDS and hated gays, to boot, are both tired, left-wing lies about an American legend."

A later author's note on the article also contests a widely held "myth" that Reagan never uttered the acronym "AIDS" until 1987 when he actually did so during a 1985 press conference. In addition, the author's note asserts that "total federal HIV/AIDS expenditures grew from $0 to $5.727 billion" under Reagan, which "belies the notion that he 'did nothing' about this vicious disease."
