elijah schaffer
It's absolutely incredible, guys.
Listen, I feel like we are in a moment where we're stacking wins despite things honestly being not so ideal.
I don't know if you guys heard, but there's actually an update from the Justice Department.
Slightlyoffensive.com was in with the news today that the justice delivered for Lake and Riley came in.
Jose Ibarra was convicted of murder.
So our trending stories today start with Jose Ibarra, an illegal alien with a criminal history, who should have never been in the country, let alone even harm a young innocent white woman.
I want to add that though.
You know, it's consistent that these people that are the victims of the minority crime and a lot of the illegal crime turn out to be white people.
I don't know why, but it's true.
Listen to this.
It turns out breaking news, justice was finally served as illegal alien Jose Ibarra has been convicted for the brutal murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Lake and Riley.
Dallas Ludlum reports directly for slightlyoffensive.com.
Don't forget, guys, these stories are original reports.
They are on our website.
You got to check them out.
So this verdict actually brought a measure of closure to the tragedy that haunted her family and community, but also raised serious questions about how such preventable crime was allowed to happen.
And it turned out that actually the killer of Lake and Riley was actually shipped up to the Northeast by a transition program from Kamala and Joe Biden.
So legitimately speaking, it wasn't just that we had an open border, which is why he was able to kill a white woman.
And I know it's kind of weird because, you know, obviously the issues with African-American crime in the United States is incredibly overlooked, right?
That's just the amount of white people that are dying on behalf of interracial violence in that way is insane, according to the FBI statistics.
It's immeasurable in comparison to reverse, right?
So white on black crime is so much lower, especially with population density and per capita.
But listen, here's a little bit of the background on the story in case you guys want to know.
Lake and Riley was the epitome of hope and determination.
She was a dedicated nursing student with a heart for helping others, and she had dreams of making a difference in the world.
Those dreams were stolen in a senseless act of violence that left her family grappling with unimaginable loss.
During the trial, chilling details emerged that highlighted just how preventable the tragedy was.
Jose Ibarra, an illegal alien with a criminal history, should never have been in the country, let alone be there to harm a young woman.
Even more infuriating, it was revealed that Ibarra had been flown to Atlanta on a government-sponsored flight, part of a federal program that transported illegal immigrants across the country.
The system that allowed this to happen is broken beyond comprehension, and it cost Lake and Riley her life.
There he is, man, convicted of murdering and killing the Georgia nursing student.
Now, there was justice in the courtroom.
Prosecutors presented a mountain of evidence that left no doubt about Ibarra's guilt.
From forensic details to witness testimony, the case laid bare the horrors of a crime that should have never occurred.
Now, the jury delivered the only possible verdict, which was guilty.
And that's kind of surprising because people obviously know, right?
There is a two-tier justice system in the West, especially when it comes to interracial crimes like this, where, you know, maybe he wouldn't have gotten off the hook, but maybe they would have declared him insane, unfit to stand trial.
Maybe they would have just kept him in a holding facility until we forgot about it.
And then when it comes to prosecuting people like the white guy, Daniel Penny, then he gets the book thrown at him for an accidental, you know, involuntary manslaughter death where he was trying to protect people.
And then a deranged drug addict ends up dying.
Now, obviously, there's time for action here.
It covers with President-elect Donald Trump to set to take office.
The nation has an opportunity to address the root causes of crimes like this.
It's time for decisive action.
Trump has already signed his intent to reinstate policies that prioritize the safety of American citizens, including stricter border enforcement and the deportation of illegal aliens.
You can read the rest there where we remember her legacy in our country.
Now, Donald Trump obviously spoke about the fact that he's going to be using a militarized action to remove and deport up to 20 million people.
And Homan, who's put in charge of the ICE and in charge of, essentially in charge of the Department of Homeland Security, not really, but in terms of the immigration control, he's in charge of it.
It is interesting that this guy is one of the toughest mother effers that exists in the block.
Now, that being said, I want to remind you guys something very important here.
With the holidays coming upon us, obviously, you know, Undertak, the best boxer company in America, has decided to take it up a notch.
And now they said that we can win $100,000 while we shop.
I know it sounds too good to be true.
We can get some confetti of color there.
But listen, it's a perfect time to stock up, especially since half of all Christmas shoppers buy socks and underwear as gifts.
Now, our friends at Sierra Whiskey Coat, makers of Undertak, the world's most comfortable tactical boxers with rugged EDC shirts that fit amazingly and ultra-tough socks have partnered with shared sweeps to give you a chance to win $100,000.

Now, that being said, our next story is quite interesting.
So from slightlyoffensive.com, original reporting, Justin Nancy Mace obviously moved to ban trans women from Capitol bathrooms and she received death threats from trans activists.
So essentially what happened was this first like Portlandia sketch character is now in our United States Congress.
It was like a pretty good looking guy to begin with.
And now he's, you know, transitioned legally into a female.
That sort of begs the question on why these people are not only allowed to vote, but why they're even given the ability to be in the military and in government.
Because in my opinion, if you're so confused and you think you're in the wrong body, you are subject to influence, to intimidation, and you're mentally unwell.
Like you don't need access to government.
You need access to health care.
And that's not a controversial opinion.
I want to help people who are confused.
But that being said, this comes just two weeks after the election of America's first out-transgender person, Representative-elect Sarah McBride.
The 19th Amendment was a mistake, to be completely honest.
Representative Nancy Mace has introduced a resolution to amend the rules of the U.S. House of Representatives that would ban transgender women from women's restrooms.
It's crazy that we even have to talk about that.
This original story from Earl Gray reports that the move comes just two weeks after the election of America's first out-transgender person to Congress.
Sarah McBride, like I love when guys always choose names.
They just always choose the most generic and corny names.
Now, this is a state senator from Delaware who won a seat in Congress on November 5th and will be sworn in in January.
Like Delaware is where Biden's from.
I don't know about you, but I just, Delaware has got to be one of the worst states in the Union.
It sucks genuinely.
So this is the new Sarah McBride.
Americans, welcome.
Whether you like it or not, you now are represented by a transgender, somebody who doesn't know who they are.
Now, thank you, Delaware.
Because of your votes and your values, I am so proud to be your next member of Congress.
Delaware has sent the message loud and clear that we must be a country that protects reproductive freedom, that guarantees paid leave and affordable child care for all of our yada yada yada.
Isn't it so strange that the number one thing that a transgender cares about when they're elected is that women can abort their kids?
Like, I care about leave.
Like, but see, I don't really love the idea of fighting for leave.
I feel like we should fight for women to be out of the workforce so that the general income can go up.
That's why we fight against illegal immigration.
We're fighting against factors that would essentially, you know, lower wages, devalue our currency, and make it so both people have to work.
Because I always say, I understand in families, a lot of times both people have to work, the mother and the father.
But why aren't we fighting for an economy in a world where that isn't, that doesn't have to be the case?
And why is it whenever we fight for women, it's so they can kill their kids?
It just seems absolutely ridiculous.
Now, Representative Nancy Mace, obviously, says with reporters on Capitol Hill, she spoke saying, they transgender women should not be in locker rooms, not be in changing rooms, should not be in our restrooms either.
When asked what restroom Sarah McBride should use in the Capitol, Mace responded, she was born a biological male and should use the men's restroom.
When asked if her resolution was in a direct response to Sarah McBride, she said that and more.
And I have the video of that, which I feel like it was kind of interesting because I know Nancy Mace, you know, my personal opinion of her as a Congresswoman is not really that important.
But I do have to give her kudos when she responded to ABC News because usually we don't see this sort of direct response.
Listen to this.
unidentified
Here she goes.
Here's Congresswoman Mace.
Congresswoman Mace, can I ask you a question as you walk here?
So the question is, with your piece of legislation about banning women from using the fact that it doesn't go far enough.
You'll be filing more bills.
You have said that it was created in response to Congresswoman elected.
100%.
But should legislation be created targeted at one specific person?
It doesn't mention anyone in the legislation, but I'm not sure.
But you've said it was aimed at her.
No, I have said it's a result of this.
I'm not going to allow biological men into women's private spaces.
I will stand in the brink and stand in the way of anyone on the radical left who thinks that it's okay for a penis to be in a women's locker room or a bathroom or a changing room.
Hell no.
I'm not going to stand for it.
And the speaker said it would be in the House rules package.
If it's not, I will be ready with a motion, a privileged motion to force a vote on this.
This is not okay.
I'm a survivor of rape.
I'm a survivor of sexual abuse.
And I'm not going to allow any man in any female private spaces.
Now, Speaker.
End of story.
And by the way, I'm getting death threats from men pretending to be women.
Why is it that these crazy people, the insanity, the radical left, are willing to kill women over a man's right to be in a women's restroom?
Speaker Johnson has said Seeger Johnson has said he wants to treat every new member with the words dignity and respect.
Forcing this congressperson to go into a male restroom, is that dignity and respect?
Forcing women to share private spaces with men is not dignity and not respect.
I'm absolutely going to stand in the way of anyone who thinks it's okay for a man to be in our locker room, in our changing rooms, in our dressing rooms, in women's bathrooms.
And in fact, if you agree with that, you're crazy because that's not okay.
It's not okay.
elijah schaffer
Congressman, women.
Yeah.
unidentified
Okay.
elijah schaffer
One of the crazy things about this is I love how our conversations are always about, you know, men and women's spaces.
And I'm actually against that.
I don't think men should be competing in women's sports.
I don't think that men should be in women's restrooms.
And that's not even controversial, right?
That's a very basic conservative take.
But when you think about the fact that we've gone so far downhill that we're arguing primarily about, you know, women's spaces, what about men's spaces that have also been invaded?
What about the Boy Scouts?
One of the first videos I ever did back in 2018 for this show, we're almost in 2025.
And it's like, that's crazy to think about, was getting people's opinion on boys and girls' spaces.
And the problem with all this stuff is, is like, I was always wondering, you know, when we tore down men to be men and we stopped inspiring men to be men and we stopped giving making a society that was built around men being successful, it was only a matter of time before women found themselves being taken advantage of.
I mean, you literally can't crap upon the people who built society, not expect things to go poorly.
And I'm not advocating for it, but I also think it's funny too, because I feel like it's never been a position of the right wing to be fighting for women's sports, right?
But it turned out to be a critical issue with swing voters, which I still think is quite interesting because as much as I'm kind of tired of the whole transgenders and sports argument, it really did sway people.
And that's sort of the libs of TikTok, Matt Walsh.
And that was honestly when I talked to swing voters, that was some of the bigger deals that they were bigger things that were affecting their opinions.
Now, I want to remind you guys something.
So Politico released an update.
I don't know if you guys have been seeing what's going on with Matt Gates, but essentially there were some accusations that we're going to debunk here.
But Politico had just released today that the House Ethics Panel did not agree to release the Gates report yet.
So apparently it's not being released.
Now, he just got nominated to Attorney General.
Everybody knows that.
He is MAGA.
He does care about people.
This is extremely huge.
Why?
I mean, first of all, not just for the American people, but upfront for all the J6 people who have been persecuted, like including myself.
I mean, I've gotten pretty clean and pretty clear because of my credential that I had.
And the fact is, is like I've always mentioned it, the only other people that day that had my credential were mainstream media people.
So if I get prosecuted, then they have to prosecute them, which is why they're investigating me for a bogus wiretapping, you know, charge.
I'm not really getting hit with trespassing.
It's just wiretapping.
It's very hard to prove in court.
But there's so many people who aren't as lucky as me, right?
They either didn't have a credential, which I get you shouldn't have to have one.
It's an American.
You can be a journalist without a credential.
But, you know, people are in jail for 17, 22 years for very basic violations of the law, like things that probably wouldn't even be a misdemeanor in most states, like shaking a fence.
And then they get, you know, ramped up to terrorism charges and put in jail.
These people might actually see freedom.
They might actually get released.
And that's a big deal.
And that's what they don't want.
They don't want.
Who's they?
The deep state.
It's Thune, Cornyn.
It's the people in Senate.
It's the establishment doesn't want to see populism take root.
So Trump can be your president, but as long as we don't get a cabinet that's truly populous, as long as we only keep Senator Marco Rubio and others in power, that's their ultimate goal.
Well, that's why it says here that the House Ethics Committee on Wednesday did not agree to release the long-anticipated report into Mad Gates.
And the top Democrat on the panel said that members had agreed to meet again on the matter next month.
Now, there was not an agreement by the committee to release the report.
Chair Michael Guest, a Republican, said, told reporters after meeting ended soon after ranking member Susan Wilde confirmed that the panel did not agree on releasing the report, but said that we did agree that we would reconvene as a committee on December 5th to further consider the matter.
Republicans in recent days have insisted that the report is finished yet, but two people familiar with the process who were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters said the report is done.
Now, Wilde was clearly incensed with how Guest was characterized the private panel meeting, and they're only trying to release this stuff because they want to get back at him, right?
That's literally all it is.
And that's why Slightly Offensive came in with an original story just saying, Hey, it's kind of been debunked.
Listen to this: a bombshell report: Deep State resurrects discredited accusations against Gates to protect its power.
Now, faced with real possibility of losing their grip on unchecked power, the deep state appears to be employing its oldest and dirtiest trick, recycling discredited allegations to smear its opponents.
That's what they always do.
They come after you and they just smear your name.
Lucky, the boys usually win this one, but here's what it has to say.
So, we're going to debunk this.
In a move that reeks of desperation, the entrenched bureaucrats of Washington, the so-called deep state, have launched an all-out smear campaign against Representative Matt Gates, weaponizing long-debunked allegations to Derrella's nomination for attorney general.
This is nothing short of a political hit job designed to protect the power structure that Gates has threatened to dismantle.
And this is important because this is also from Dallas Ludlum.
He reports this.
Now, here's the playbook: The saga began years ago when Joel Greenberg, a disgraced former Seminole County tax collector who epitomized corruption and criminality.
Greenberg, now a convicted felon, engaged in a stunning array of crimes, including child sex trafficking, identity theft, and using taxpayer money to fund his personal escapades.
His credibility is as tattered as his public record, yet his false accusations are now being resurrected by political operatives in a last-ish effort to neutralize Gates.
Greenberg admitted to fabricating allegations against a schoolteacher who opposed him politically using the same tactics of projection and deceit he later employed against Gates.
He weaponized lies, accusing others of the very crimes that he himself was committing.
Despite this clear pattern of dishonesty, Greenberg's baseless claims were leveraged to launch a years-long DOJ investigation to Gates.
Now, the investigation ultimately fizzled out.
Now, why does the deep state fear Gates?
Well, I think that that's quite understandable.
Fast forward to the day that Matt Gates, an outspoken critic of Washington and their corruption and the bureaucratic overage that defines the deep state, has emerged as a leading voice for accountability.
His nomination as attorney general, a role with the power to expose and prosecute entrenched corruption, has sent shockwaves throughout the political establishment.
So I think that that's honestly it, right?
So that's why they're trying to drag Greenberg's lies out of the grave.
But the timing speaks volumes, as Ludlum pointed out in the article, right?
The thing is, the smear campaign is no coincidence as Gates' nomination represents a direct threat to unelected bureaucrats who have wielded power behind the scenes.
So essentially what we have here is we have Trump coming in as a MAGA saying we got to make America great again.
Then you have the Department of Government Efficiency with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
It's going to cut down government waste in entire departments, they said.
It's going to be like we saw in Argentina, but on steroids.
And if you want to see what happened in Argentina, you can go ahead and check, but it's pretty, pretty remarkable.
But then on top of that, it's like, well, who's going to get in the way?
Well, you already have Mitch McConnell setting up, you know, Thun and Cornyn and this new Senate majority leadership that is directly opposed to Donald Trump.
They've been on record literally crapping upon him.
And then so now there's going to be a resistance where there's already 10 senators who say they won't discuss how they're going to vote in the confirmation of people like Matt Gates.
But then on the flip of it all, you have people literally trying to come in and say, we've got to keep people like Gates out.
We've got to keep the Marco Rubios in play.
You know, we've got to keep these individuals, you know, in the office because ultimately what we can't have is a legal doge, like a legal department of government efficiency where he comes in and guts all the illegal activity because he'll have ultimate power and authority federally.
I mean, only to really be checked by the Supreme Court.
And they literally do not want that.
And so that's pretty crazy.
And the media is playing in it and everybody's working on it.
Now, here's our verdict.
I want to read it to you in a moment.
But first, I just want to remind you of something very important.
Obviously, you guys know that I love this new company called Van Man.
I've been using their products for a long time.
And I just recently came across them because of Mike, my producer.
Now, this awesome brand is incredible because it's products you use every day, but they're free of fluoride and toxic chemicals, which I always hate.
and they completely reject the big pharma scam and they focus on holistic and natural sources for their products like this the tallow and honey balm which beats any moisturizer that I've used, my wife's used My kids use it, right?
My son is like a few months old and or if you eat weeks old.
He's got like creases or he's all fat and we put like some honey balm just to bring some moisture in the cracks.
I'm going to use it on my newborn and my wife.
We're all like scared about the chemicals out there.
My background's in molecular biology.
I don't use that garbage.
But of course, we're using these products.
They have deodorant that's free of the harsh metals that are in there, sunscreen that doesn't have carcinogens, essentially products your whole family can use from breastfeeding wife to a pregnant wife to kids.
And right now they're giving us 10% off with promo code offensive at vanman.shop slash offensive.

That's vanman.shop slash offensive.
You've got to check it out today.
Use promo code offensive to get 10% off.
That's vanman.shop slash offensive.
I use this stuff all the time and it lasts forever.
Check it out before it's too late.
Now, as I mentioned here with what's going on, here is our verdict on the story with Matt Gates.
So the reemergence of these disproved allegations is not a coincidence.
It's a cheap coordinated effort to silence one of Washington's fiercest critics.
The deep state is banking on the idea that the American people will buy into the media's narrative, but history tells us that these tactics often backfire.
Now, Gates, undeterred by the smears, remains focused on his mission to root out corruption.
This bombshell revelation should serve as a wake-up call as the deep state will go to lengths to protect itself, even if it means dredging up lies from the past.
The question now is whether the American people will see through the facade and demand accountability.
It's not just from their leaders, but from the unelected power brokers pulling the strings.
So that's pretty remarkable, right?
Now, obviously, I think they're just going after Gates because they don't want someone in judiciary, you know, executive power to sort of make the judgments and bring the prosecutions that actually might care about what the American people want.
It's no surprise, but that's just the truth.
Now, I want to switch into a topical here.
We'll always go through trending stories.
I'm going to talk about something that might make you angry.
This story is pretty remarkable, and it comes, it's from the archive, but it's actually more recent than not.
So Biden administration is actually moving right now to forgive $4.7 billion of loans to Ukraine.
I wish our government cared as much about Americans as they do about funding wars overseas and lining the pockets of the military-industrial complex, but they don't.
Of course they don't.
Listen to this story coming live here.
Washington, the Biden administration from Reuters moved to forgive about $4.7 billion in U.S. loans to Ukraine.
The State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Wednesday as outgoing officials seek to do what they can before leaving office to bolster Ukraine and its war against Russia.
A funding bill passed by the U.S. Congress in April included just over $9.4 billion of forgivable loans for economic and budgetary support for Ukraine's government, half of which the president could cancel after November 15th.
The bill appropriated a total of $61 billion to help Ukraine fight the full-scale invasion of Moscow launched in February of 2022.
Now, we have taken a step that have outlined in the law to cancel out these loans, Miller told the press briefing, adding that the step was taken in recent days.
Now, Congress could still block the move, Miller said.
The Senate is due to vote later on Wednesday on a motion of disapproval of loan forgiveness for Ukraine put forward by Republican Senator Rand Paul, a frequent critic of the U.S. support for Ukraine.
And the majority of senators from both parties support aid to Ukraine.
President Joe Biden has offered officials to rush as much aid to Ukraine as possible before he leaves office on January 20th amid concerns that President-elect Donald Trump could limit U.S. support.
So what we're getting right now, not only is Biden authorizing the use of long-range AT-CAM missiles, right, across the border that have already struck Russian targets that even Donald Trump Jr. is saying might accelerate World War III, but then they're pushing through, while they can't get funding through with Congress, they're pushing through forgiveness of loans, reminding you that we gave most of this money to Ukraine with the intention that we will be paid back.
Will we be paid back?
Obviously, you know, the answer is an astounding no.
unidentified
That's a yeah, that's not happening.
elijah schaffer
But it's still, it's still interesting that we live in a day and age and an era where we at least lie to the people, make them think that maybe our tax dollars might go to us.
Well, you're kind of stupid for thinking that.
Now, that being said, some good news.
I wanted to talk about this.
I'm really happy to see that in the midst of Biden not really receiving a lot of approval.
I've seen a lot of friends of mine, you know, they've swallowed too many black pills, right?
They're like too obsessed with the little hat people or too obsessed with, you know, hating Trump's cabinet or too obsessed with the bad that's going on.
And I get those frustrations, right?
I totally understand that.
I'm not even asking them to hamper down there.
I'm just reminding you, like as a dad, you know, I tell people like I'm responsible for the joy of my family.
I'm responsible for the, you know, the hope in my wife and give my kids a future that they're going to want.
And so I try to not focus on only negative stuff.
I don't want the show to just focus on that, which is negative.
I'm a little more negative on X, but not as much negative on this news program.
We're kind of playing with this, by the way.
If you're new here, so we're thinking about, we are live Tuesdays and Thursdays for the slightly offensive show, Nightly Offensive.
You might know about that.
It's on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8 p.m. only on Rumble because it's much more, much more unhinged.
There's no censorship.
It's kind of vulgar.
But then I'm hoping on YouTube that we can resurrect this channel by doing more news from our original writing.
So we'll have slightly offensive news on YouTube, nightly offensive live stream on Rumble.
And then you can get all of this on censored.tv promo code.
Offensive, 20% off a membership, but you can get everything in one spot there.
I know it seems confusing, but it's the way we're going to kind of weaponize both of the platforms for what they're good for because YouTube isn't good for live stuff for our content and Rumble isn't good for pre-recorded stuff.
So we'll leave it there.
But that being said, you know, Yahoo Finance brought up that the post-election November Harvard caps came in and that Trump has actually had an approval rating of 54%.
As it says, voters will hope that he will address top issues of inflation and immigration.
So 80% of voters prioritize candidates' position on issues over personal qualities and casting their vote.
71% of voters say Elon Musk's endorsement had the biggest impact on the election.
And a lot of people said today released in the November Harvard Caps, a monthly collaboration between the Center for American Political Studies and Harvard Caps in the Harris poll and Harris X.
The poll shows Trump won over Harris by two points, driving the core issue of inflation immigration most salient in the majority of Americans.
So the Harris administration primarily pushed, you know, abortion.
That's like all they basically push, abortion, abortion, abortion.
And they also did push like a little bit of like fake stuff.
You ever notice that they always push a lot of fake propaganda?
Like you ever, like they were pushing videos out like whatever his name is, not what's his name, Matheson?
He's something out there.
But he's like, you know, in two weeks, women might not be able to get credit cards.
I hope the women in my family can't get credit cards.
But the women in general, that was never on the table.
Or like, you know, gay marriages might be gone.
They were telling people.
And, you know, I think one of my biggest critiques of Trump is that he's too liberal, right?
And Trump's always been outspoken in support of gay marriage.
I don't like that, actually.
As someone who's ostensibly right-wing, I'm not a big fan, but it's like, I don't live in an unrealistic understanding of what's going on, which is why I don't think that Trump is the savior, you know, and I don't think he's going to fix the whole world, but I think he's going to do a lot of good in this country.
Some bad too, but I think mostly good.
I'm pretty much convinced that his election was an act of God.
And I know people don't like that because of his support for our greatest ally.
But, you know, in retrospect, that's not good.
And I'm not a fan of that.
But I do know that you can't win on every issue with any single leader.
And on that issue, we'd lose in either department.
Now, it explained here that this election was about issues.
The economy and immigration played the biggest roles.
Trump won on a clear messaging of middle and working class economics.
And of course, Harris Stagwell chairman CEO said, but while he won people up to 54%, Republicans are supportive of his policies.
He has to be careful in over-projecting a mandate underneath the still division of election that has not yet resolved itself.
50% of voters say they voted for Trump, including 92% and 49% of independents, while 48% of voters say they voted for Harris.
82% of voters say they voted what?
There.
And then 37% of voters voted in person.
That's crazy.
So I guess 32% is before the election.
We're only at like 69%.
69% of voters voting before the election.
That is a pretty interesting thing.
The rest seem to be mostly mail-in.
So that is pretty wild.
Now, the motivation of issues by voter is pretty important here.
I think we're breaking down the election.
80% of voters say the candidates' position on issues that are most important when it came to casting their vote.
And the majority of voters said the responses were based on those single issues.
So you can read the rest of it here on Yahoo Finance.
That being said, let's do some updates on the Trump admin.
So slightlyoffensive.com reports that the Department of Government Efficiency is already highlighting serious abuses of waste.
Apparently, our money is currently funding cocaine-addicted quails.
Why America needs a department of efficiency?
And that's great because quails need to get lit too.
You know what I mean?
I mean, you can fly, no one can get as high as a bird can fly.
And quails have a little dingle-dong in front of them, you can't deny.
And everyone knows that illicit drug use can cause a lack of an ability to have an erection.
And so the fact that quails always are erect up front, you know, they're the ones that are enjoying cocaine the most.
Now, I have no excuse.
I don't understand why we're doing this.
I don't have a joke for it.
But listen to this.
The creation of Doge isn't just a suggestion.
It is a necessity.
The efficiencies within our government have reached a critical tipping point.
Dallas Ludlum reports.
Now, it's time to face an inconvenient truth.
Our government is hemorrhaging taxpayer dollars and the waste is staggering from a massive untracked budgets to absurd projects that defy common sense.
The need for the Department of Government Efficiency has never been clearer.
Here's a breakdown of why Doge is necessary and how it can save our nation from a fiscal black hole.
Now, the numbers don't lie across federal programs and spending initiatives.
The waste is astronomical.
$824 billion.
The Pentagon failed to fully account for its budget in its seventh failed audit.
Like, I watched a clip with Jon Stewart, right?
Where he sat down with someone from the Pentagon, and I think it was from the Department of Defense or Pentagon.
And it was about why they couldn't figure out the waste.
And people were saying, well, it's not really waste, right?
It's not really waste.
And I thought it was kind of remarkable because in this interview, it is about three minutes long.
You got to listen to it.
He's even Democrats are asking.
Jon Stewart changed his last name to even hide who he is.
And yet he's still out here asking government officials on C-SPAN, how did you waste so much of our money?
And you can't even account for the $824 million.
And they were speechless.
Listen to this video.
unidentified
Audits and waste, fraud, and abuse are not the same thing.
So let's decompose these.
jon stewart
Please educate me on all of that.
unidentified
Sure.
So an audit is exactly what you just described, which is do I know what was delivered to which place?
Right.
The ability to pass an audit or the fact that the DOD has not passed an audit is not suggestive of waste, fraud, and abuse.
That is completely false right there.
So now it's a question of, it's suggestive that we don't have an accurate inventory that we can pull up of what we have where.
That is not the same as saying we can't do that because waste, fraud, and abuse has occurred.
jon stewart
So in my world, that's waste.
unidentified
How is that waste?
jon stewart
If I give you a billion dollars and you can't tell me what happened to it, that to me is wasteful.
That means you are not responsible.
But if you can't tell me where it went, then what am I supposed to think?
And when there has been reporting, I mean, this is not, look, I'm not saying this is on you and that you cause this, but I think it's a tough argument to do that.
I'm pretty sure I can cause it.
An $850 billion budget to an organization that can't pass an audit and tell you where that money went.
Like, I think most people would consider that somewhere in the realm of waste, fraud or abuse, because they would wonder why that money isn't well accounted for.
And especially when they see food insecurity on military bases and they see.
unidentified
You want to talk about that?
Because that's a good we should be talking.
I mean, I try to understand where you're trying to go other than the dollars, which really bother you.
jon stewart
I think it doesn't really bother me.
I think it's all connected.
unidentified
Tell me that story.
Tell me how you're thinking about that.
jon stewart
When I see a State Department get a certain amount of money and a military budget be 10 times that, and I see a struggle within government to get people like more basic services, and then that department that got that, I mean, we got out of 20 years of war and the Pentagon got a $50 billion raise.
Like that's shocking to me.
Now, I may not understand exactly the ins and outs and the incredible magic of an audit, but I'm a human being who lives on the earth and can't figure out how $850 billion to a department means that the rank and file still have to be on food stamps.
Like to me, that's fucking corruption.
I'm sorry.
And if like, if that blows your mind, and if you think like that's like a crazy agenda for me to have, I really think that that's institutional thinking and that it's not looking at the day-to-day reality of the people that you call the greatest fighting force in the world.
So I just, again, I get back to this idea of like, I'm not looking to pick a fight with you, but I am surprised at that the reaction to these questions are, you don't know what an audit is, Bucco.
Like, that's just weird to me.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, and she seems uncomfortable.
Like, she's like, just like, trying to make a light of it.
It's like, dude, I don't think it's funny that we are in debt, trillions of dollars, and that we can't account for where our taxpayer dollars are going.
Like, that's actually a freaking problem, right?
Where are the taxpayer dollars going?
I don't actually know.
And I think that they need to give an account for that, right?
I mean, we have the rest of the information there, but despite all the insanity of what they're explaining to us, I just got to remind you that in reality, our money's not being spent to help the American people.
It's spent to push their agenda.
Now, many of you guys might know about Michael and Dell.
You know, you've been working with MyPillow.
You know, I have.
And essentially, they had this whole deal get canceled with all these retail stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, all these places.
They're now going out of business, but they essentially X'd out their orders of the pillows after they were already manufactured.
So these amazing pillows are now available for the lowest price ever, wholesale pricing at $14.88.
Yeah, you can hear that.
$14.88.
unidentified

M-Y-P-I-L-L-O-W, promo code Elijah E-L-I-J-A-H to get your pillows at a massive discounted price.
That's awesome.
Now, kind of getting back into this idea of the government waste, right?
Apparently, we also have $236 billion in improper payments and federal programs in 2023 alone.
$200 billion in pandemic relief funds squandered due to fraud and abuse.
Isn't that insane?
Like, our government is so out of control that we have $200 billion just gone.
Think about what's actually in your bank account, right?
Maybe if you're doing really well for yourself, you might have more than $100,000 in liquid cash.
I mean, maybe even not even in investments, right?
And that's if you're doing really well.
The majority is like two-thirds of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
So most of you don't even have $500 in your account when you're at the end of your check.
And there's nothing to be ashamed of with that.
I mean, yeah, should we be promoting financial and fiscal responsibility?
Yeah, but is it really freaking hard today?
100%.
And then just to think that there's $200 billion, a $200 billion of your money that's just squandered and thrown away, it is sort of infuriating.
More than that, on Doge, $1 billion was untracked Ukraine military aid as reported by watchdogs.
If this is what we know, how much more is slipping through the cracks?
These aren't just numbers.
These are your tax dollars disappearing into a bureaucratic abyss.
And it turns out that there's actually a video here from Massey showing just how ridiculous this stuff really has become.
It's only about a minute.
It's not the highest quality, but the sound's all right.
Listen to this.
rand paul
Gin to a sunfish versus tequila, which would make the sunfish more aggressive.
Nearly a million dollars spent studying whether or not Japanese quail, if you give them cocaine, whether or not they're more sexually promiscuous.
Was it one small step for man or was it one small step for a man?
And in the end, $750,000 later, they couldn't decide.
Was it one step for man, one step for a man?
$2 million for the construction of a kelp and shellfish nursery in Maine.
$1.5 million to encourage video gaming in New York.
We might be better off spending $1.5 million to discourage kids from playing video games.
$388,000 for Columbia University.
Be giving a rich university that has $13 billion any money.
$249,000 for the Baltimore Symphony.
Give money to all the symphonies and we'd make them part of government.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, that's what I like to see.
I love to see him just call them out.
A lot of these are what are called like slush funds, right?
They're sort of just ways that we give money to people, like you bribe people.
There's another way to explain it.
So I think we'll probably end up covering a lot of the Department of Government efficiency here on the show, especially as we're covering the news every day.
I think it's vital.
Now, listen to this.
While critical programs often face budget cuts, taxpayer money is regularly funneled into frivolous studies that defy logic.
$100,000 to determine if tequila or gin makes sunfish more aggressive like we saw, and a million about cocaine increasing sexual promiscuity in Japanese quail.
By the way, look, I don't want to get too graphic here, but that's true.
That does do in humans.
Like, some of the weirdest experiences you'll have in your life would be if you were under the influence of this stuff.
It's true.
Now, these examples make it painfully clear that there's little accountability in deciding what constitutes a necessary government expenditure.
In 1955, there were less than 1.5 million words in the U.S. tax code.
Today, there are more than 16 million.
Exactly.
Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year.
It's literally just got to be simplified.
Now, drowning in complexity of the U.S. tax code, in 1955, the U.S. tax code had fewer than 1.5 million words, as we mentioned.
This bloated system begs for reform.
Now, down here, the Pentagon can't fully account for the $824 billion.
It's sickening.
And just to look into this, by the way, some of the waste highlights, if you thought it was bad, you always know the government's spending money on some like seriously dumb crap.
But if you want to know how bad it actually gets, listen to this.
The following is just a glimpse into the waste of it.
$3.1 million on an app to help people decide when to take a coffee break.
Yeah, disc stop.
$700,000 to fund a climate musical.
$150,000 for a study on the benefits of walking like a penguin.
These are people's like, this is a good salary.
$150,000 a year is a good salary.
And we're just tossing that up and handing it to people because they, like, what?
Because they just, they want to know what it's like to walk like a mammal in the Arctic.
Now, here's the Doge solution.
And here's what is the response.
We hear about waste, but we're going to finally get a response.
Listen to this.
The Department of Government Efficiency would be tasked with auditing all federal spending, mandating transparency and accountability for every dollar spent, eliminating redundancies, identifying and merging overlapping programs across agencies, streamlining regulations, reducing the regulatory burden to cut inefficiency and costs, accountability standards, setting measurable goals for federal programs, and ensuring they deliver value for taxpayers.
So the creation of Doge isn't just a suggestion.
It's a necessity.
The inefficiencies within our government have reached a critical tipping point, and every dollar wasted is a dollar that could have gone towards fixing roads, lowering taxes, or securing our nation.
Imagine America where our tax dollars were spent more efficiently.
I wish a man could only dream.
I could only hope.
And who knows what will actually work in that place.
But by the way, I thought it was funny because the New York Times actually, I had to pull it here because it's on a paywall, but they just struck back saying how Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswemi's government slashing spree could backfire.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are the perfect partners for a president-elect whose signature phrase before his time in the White House was, you're fired.
About 80% of Twitter's employees were laid off or quit after Musk bought the social media platform and renamed it X. Ramaswamy said that on September podcast that if the federal government fired 75% of its employees, not a thing would change for the ordinary American other than the size of the government being a lot smaller and more restrained, spending a lot less money to operate it.
Guys, take a look at this chart of people directly or indirectly working for the federal government as a share of the U.S. population age 16 and older.
That's crazy.
It's about, what, 4.5% of the U.S. population works for the government.
So yeah, there's a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government, but overstaffing should not be the first thing on the agenda.
So look, it is almost weird that the government endorsed publications like MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, the New Yorker immediately come out and they're in defense of government spending.
Well, they're going to cut jobs.
Well, yeah, have you ever been to the DMV?
Like, I bet you a computer could operate the filing better than one of these shaquishas that's just out here like, can I get your paperwork, Ryan?
Like, really?
You really think that I you really think that a lot of these people you ever call a government agency?
You can't get a damn thing done.
It's like they're trying, they're the government of inefficiency now, not of efficiency.
So, it makes sense that the New York Times is shilling, and it kind of shows you a little bit about how much the government works in lockstep with people like the New York Times to shill.
Just reminding you of a little bit of like the truth that Gavin Newsome also just bought a mansion, the governor of California, for $9 million.
How you get that rich working in government?
I don't know.
But that being said, just a kind of funny story to wrap it up today.
I thought this was kind of crazy.
Slightlyoffensive.com reports a YouTuber smoked the dead ashes of their father on camera to honor him.
That's what they said.
But the true story is essentially like they took their father's ashes, made it into soil, grew weed from the father's ashes.
And it wasn't clear if the ashes were sprinkled in the joint, but it is just such a weird thing as a man as your dying wish that you would somehow like ask your daughter to smoke you as weed.
It just seems so pathetic, genuinely.
I know you're not supposed to really get into this.
I had a mom die, and I mean, my only mom, right?
You don't get to have more than one.
And that does mess you up a bit.
So I understand people do weird stuff.
I just drank a lot when my mom died.
And then, like, yeah, and then just went to riots.
So that's what I just drank and went to riots.
But some people do other things.
This person did even weirder things.
Listen.
unidentified
I'm going to smoke my dead dad.
Before he passed, he told me and my mom what he would like us to do with his ashes.
And at first, my mom was a little bit hesitant because she thought this is kind of hippie.
You know, this is people are going to judge us.
But as time's gone on and it's been five years now, we just really think that it's the right time to do what dad wanted and to honor him the way he wanted.
So years ago, he told me and my mom that he would like us to take his ashes, mix it in with some soil, and grow a marijuana plant and smoke him.
And I told you he was a rebel.
And I actually have footage of us doing this together for good
measure.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, let's not do that.
Actually, let's just not do that at all.
I don't know.
Okay, those are the kind of stories you get.
Let me know what your thoughts are down below.
We are experimenting with this show.
You guys know that I run a news program that summarizes the news on the gateway pun in every day.
That shows doing phenomenally.
And then I run a news review of more like medical and back-end hidden stories for Vigilant News VNN.
That is a very long format show.
It airs on Rumble in the mornings at 8 a.m.
It's a morning show that does really well.
But this show is a little bit interesting because it's a little bit different, right?
And it's more of the new stories that I want to cover from our website and from the web that are more unique stories.
And it's probably just going to be just me, you know, having those discussions with you guys where nightly offensive is going to be more of the, you know, live stream, just like a podcast, have a lot of fun at night, do our own thing and kick back.
So I'd love to know if you enjoyed this.
This is quite a bit longer.
I mean, it does add an extra like whole hour of my day to like streaming plus putting it up.
But I think it's kind of cool, right?
It's pre-recorded.
I can make sure it's censored if I need to censor it to meet YouTube guidelines while not giving up the freedom I have on Rumble.
And if you watch on YouTube, make sure to support directly there.
Reminding you guys that you can support our advertisers, but also most importantly, don't forget that this show is made possible directly by the support of Censored.tv.
If you haven't joined and you don't know what it is, it is our ability to have an off-grid network that has shows that are on our own servers.
Sometimes shows get taken down.
Like the other day, Rumble was having mistakes, and then we had to take the video down, but the original recording on our computer is good.
The stream was bad, so we put up the original one and it's here on the website.
And so that's kind of what it is.
So if you're looking for that original reporting, you're looking for this show plus like Wrong Opinion, Atheism Unstoppable, Off Topic, The Anthony Cumiya Show, Gavin McGinnis, you have Lily Gaddis down the line, and so many more individuals.
You should check out our site here at censored.tv.
