It's the end of the week, and so it's time to take out the trash.
[MUSIC]
Brett, who is your garbage person of the week?
>> TYT alumnus Dave Rubin appeared on Newsmax in a segment, and
against all odds, he is not the garbageiest person in that segment.
Instead, as so many right wingers are triggered by a bunch of
companies actually not taking the position of hating everyone,
Chick-fil-A fell within the crosshairs of cancel culture on the right.
And it is Chrissie Mayr who had a problem with the idea that the CEO
of Chick-fil-A would ever be nice to people outside of his race.
And she is one of the many garbage people, but
she may have said the worst possible thing.
>> I invite folks just to put some words to action here.
And if we need to find somebody that needs to have their shoe shine,
we need to just go right on over and shine their shoes,
whether they got tennis shoes or own or not, maybe they got sandals on.
>> I wonder why he bypassed the white person next to him and
had to do the shining of the black person's shoes.
He's religious, okay, what's wrong with all people?
But go ahead, Chris.
>> It's pretty ridiculous to just assume that Chick-fil-A, I mean,
I'm hesitant to make a fried chicken joke, but they sell fried chicken.
I don't know how much more inclusive we can get here.
>> A lot bad happened, and
I am shocked that Dave Rubin wasn't the worst part of that.
So here's the backstory on that is Chick-fil-A is now in
the crosshairs of outrage culture on the right because they had
some kind of diversity and equity and inclusion initiative.
And that's unacceptable that you would be tolerant at all on the right and try to
have like a normal work environment where people aren't marginalized in any way.
And so as they're doing more digging on the right wing, they find this clip of
the CEO of Chickfila trying to say, things that I would incentivize religious
culture to get people to do, which is like, be nice and charitable.
But because he bypasses the white guy and
washes the black dude's shoes, whatever that guy's name is,
the guy who used to be on The Five, who hosts the show,
he now has to point out that this weird all lives matter like ethos, I guess.
Which is itself so muddy, he just knows that that's a thing.
When you do something nice for a black person, you have to say,
I thought all lives matter to you.
And then she doesn't know what side to take.
And what she does know is there's a very easy fried chicken racist joke to make.
And so she says it, and
it's just the cringiest thing I've ever seen on this program, which,
in fairness, this is the only clip of this program I've ever seen on Newsmax.
>> It's probably true, and it'll probably be the last, credit to Dave Rubin for
not being the worst person on the panel.
I think the reason that she got to that joke before him is that so
far as I know, he has more experience not being funny than her.
So she's still new to it, she'll get there.
I don't know, Chrissie Mayr, I'm assuming a lot of people don't.
What I can guess is that what she wants is for people to be really offended so
that she will all of a sudden be notable or whatever, but it's lazy.
I'm sorry, I can't get offended for you, Chrissie.
I can't do that, it's lazy, it's boring, it's not funny.
And it's not not funny because it's offensive, it's just also not funny.
It's not funny in every possible way, it's just lazy.
It's obvious, even for a dumb racist.
>> But it's weird because- >> It's boring.
>> Yeah, it's boring, yeah,
it's weird because she's trying to give Chickfila credit.
>> I don't think that she cares.
I think it's just a chicken joke.
>> Until the chicken joke, she was ostensibly on the side of reason,
that's what's so weird.
And that's what happens on shows like this, I love the garbage time.
At the end of the hour, let's have some comedians talk about
stuff because the right is so desperate to be cool and funny, but
none of their principles which go into their comedy are funny or
they're all punching down.
And that is not the kind of comedy that's actually funny,
that's just being a superior jerk bag.
And it's more of like a scoffing laugh, [LAUGH]
>> 100%,
the best that can ever be attained.
And again, I don't know how representative this is of her other comedy,
I don't know and I don't care.
I don't think most people do, maybe it's perfectly in line, maybe it's not,
doesn't matter.
I'm sure it got some laughs from the studio audience because the bar is buried
at the center of the earth.
