The best
What can be with you?
They're doing...
Sound like Jack Klugman.
They're doing RFK right now.
By that I mean they're doing a confirmation hearing.
And like I said yesterday, and you can comment below, I would answer every single question with red dye number three.
What do you base these conspirators?
Red dye number three.
Yes, but don't you believe the experts, the medical...
Red dye.
Three.
Every single one.
You know they banned it!
Because he was going to come in and people were going to have access to the papers.
So if nothing else, we can thank that overly tanned carnivore for getting us red dye number three banned.
We are going to be talking about today, friend of the show, Caroline Levitt.
Had her first briefing.
Give me the rundown, the best moments, and new press badges going out.
Foreshadowing.
France is somehow making threats.
It involves...
Hey, don't laugh.
And we're going to go through the funding freeze, the federal funding freeze, which I don't know if you know this is just like Hitler.
We all remember when Adolf Hitler came in and froze national funding and downsized the government and offered severance for employees so that, of course, the centralized National Socialist Workers' Party would be, you know, they'd be of the people.
We must make the government smaller!
Yes.
And they gave them all guns, too.
God chose the Jews, but Samuel Colt made them equal.
Now, at some point, guarantee you, today, you are going to, if you're still on YouTube, I don't know why, see or hear this.
Head on over to...
Hey, it's a new button.
It is.
Head on over to Rumble.
It's a weekday show.
10 a.m.
even Fridays if you're a Rumble premium member.
Yeah.
Let me ask you this.
What do you think is the most useless and maybe most useful both government program in the United States?
Because we're slashing stuff.
I'm afraid of.
And Captain Morgan, CEO, number two, is there.
And of course, in third chair, funniest man.
Well, not of course, but a special guest.
Funniest man alive.
He is going to be at the Bricktown Comedy Club.
February 20th, you can see all of his dates at nickdip.com.
Oh, I also have, he just said, February 21st, Funny Bone in St. Louis.
Nick DiPaolo, how are you, sir?
Very good, and I am the funniest man alive.
I think those venues prove...
Yes, yes.
Who wants to have been playing for 41 years?
Funny Bone.
Really rocketed my career.
I'm fond of the Chuckle Hut.
That one burned down.
Last time I played it, yes, a lady hit me in the chest with a full Heineken, things got wild.
Well, I guess you had the last chuckle.
I did.
I hate myself.
So, RFK Jr. being confirmed.
And by the way, this is breaking.
Someone caught a reporter writing a negative headline about RFK Jr. before the hearing even began.
Cut a screenshot.
So here you go.
This is on X. It says, RFK Jr. faces grilling on anti-vaccine comments and animal mutilation at confirmation hearing.
The point here is that they've already decided how they're going to label you.
So stop.
Stop appeasing crocodiles this field.
Just let your freak flag fly.
Speaking of freaks.
Joy Reid, I thought we were past this.
We're not.
We're not.
We are not.
We are not past this because we're still, we're still at Hitler, Hitler something, Donald Trump, Hitler, at least in Joy Reid world.
Stalin's Red Army walked through the gates of Auschwitz and uncovered the true inhumanity and evil of the Nazi regime.
One second pause.
One second pause.
Why does she not feel the need to say Stalin bad the way we all do with Hitler?
Why does she not feel the need to go, now Stalin, who's terrible.
Right?
She just skims past it.
Alright, so I continue.
Millions of men, women, and children murdered.
Thousands more starved, beaten, humiliated, and robbed of their dignity.
But how did Hitler do it?
I don't know, you bald bitch.
the support of millions of ordinary Germans who just wanted Germany to be great again.
And business leaders who initially thought they could control him.
Plus a cadre of devout political allies willing to do whatever he said for the sake of power.
Hitler emerged emboldened after being imprisoned for staging a coup.
His rage and xenophobia gained followers after the financial ruin of World War I and the Great Depression. - I see what you're trying to do. - And helped get him selected as chancellor.
Once in power, he moved with shock and awe, Yeah, we just have to keep going.
Don't think we don't notice the alopecia, Joy.
She looks like every point guard in St. John's.
God, I hate her.
Okay, nice right.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Control the media.
What you really mean to say here is...
Let's use Zuckerberg Meta as an example.
What they said was, we did too much of the government's bidding.
We're not going to do that anymore.
Yes, control the media.
Like, threatening public...
like threatening companies that are treated as public platforms, to be clear, with some kind of reprimanding if they don't allow free and open discussion like that kind of control over the media or the media on which you right now mount your soapbox.
Which kind of media is it that he controls?
You talk about the Jews and something, I guess you're trying to compare them to immigrants?
Is that what you're saying?
No, hold on a second, those were legal residents of Germany.
We didn't have a problem with Hitler trying to make Germany great again.
I saw that little kind of slip-in you did.
It was more so the expansionism, the genocide, the exterminating people.
He certainly wasn't an isolationist because he took over half of Europe.
Oh, we all remember when Hitler, he decided to extol the virtues of federalism and states' rights.
I don't know if you know this, Donald Trump is actually giving more rights back to the states.
He is!
Freezing federal funding to look at it and try and cut waste to downsize it.
Almost the opposite of what Hitler did.
It's just so lazy at this point, but nothing like perpetuating the negative original stereotype.
Speaking of negative stereotype, unless anyone else has anything to say about Joy Reid.
I do.
Two words for Joy Reid.
Sickle cell.
Anyways.
Sometimes stereotypes, they're not stereotypes, they're just medical facts.
No.
That's right.
Amen, brother man.
France.
So yesterday, the French foreign minister said that France had talked with Denmark.
About sending troops to Greenland to defend against the USA. Sending French troops to Greenland.
Great!
Said the Danish soldiers looking for an easy first kill.
Can't they just surrender in France?
Sorry, Greenland soldiers.
No need to travel.
Literally, if I were to pick, and I'm not saying this figuratively, if I were to pick, someone said, you have to pick...
An army whose ass Greenland could kick, I'd go, I don't know, maybe France?
I know, first one.
Absolutely.
I guess France, even then.
Yeah, probably France.
Then they're going to call in the Eagle Scouts.
This is like, you know what France is?
France is like, it's like one of those arguments where it's like, no, no, no, no, you're not leaving me, I leave you.
We're going to protect, we're going to go to war.
Where's the tough guys?
What?
You have nothing to offer?
You're gonna go protect Greenland?
From the United States?
France?
Good luck.
Are you out of your tree, sir?
The whole world is going nuts.
None of it makes any sense.
And I'm glad that we get to talk about it.
This is Controlled Media by Donald Trump.
That's right, yes.
Controlled Media.
So, hey, help control that media.

By the way, going back to Joy Reid, who wore it better?
Joy Reid or?
Dennis Rodman.
Demolition Man.
Demolition Man.
Simon Phoenix.
Exactly right.
She's very feminine, isn't she?
Yeah, she is.
They had that, but we moved on quickly.
I wanted to go back to it.
She has a dancer's legs.
No.
Boxer's face.
God, I'd like it.
What people in boxing would refer to as a tune-up fight.
Last jaw.
You get me nothing but cans!
You're going to get a manager up!
Get me a real contender!
Get me Keith Olbermann back in his prime!
Worst person in the world type thing.
He'll knock you back into slavery!
What is that?
Is that an outlawed word now?
You thought George Bush was bad?
Trump will not get into tomorrow, Joy!
Slap her in the face.
You didn't even see that coming, did you?
Got a cauliflower on your lips.
Wow.
That is dead on.
Let's go to someone we do like.
We'll start with Joy Reid and France.
I don't know which one I dislike more.
Yesterday afternoon, and this has been going around on social, but context is pretty important.
We'll make all the references available.
New White House press secretary and youngest ever, Caroline Levitt.
Held the first press conference.
And so, that means it's time for our inaugural, and probably will be weekly, installment of Sweet Caroline.
Press Secretary Caroline That podium never looked so good Last time around It was a Lesbo-Mafia club And it's not a white-black thing.
No.
It's a Karen Jean-Pierre was repulsive.
Yes.
Caroline Levitt.
Fine.
How old is she?
She's 14. Just right.
She's baby bear.
Trump likes to be surrounded by beautiful women, but they're also competent.
It's refreshing after seeing Mophead for four and a half years spreading her horse shit.
And they'll say it's creepy.
It's like, I think it's creepy to have young people act as human blood bags.
That's weirder to me than having pretty competent young ladies.
But that's me, Mr. Old Fashioned.
Let's go to the top five moments here and why it matters.
We'll count and we'll go in descending order, right?
Number five.
Okay.
Right out of the chute.
Levitt rapid-fired the accomplishments from this administration, which I know it's kind of crazy.
You're like, did I dream that?
It's only been one week.
Since taking the oath of office, President Trump has taken more than 300 executive actions, secured nearly $1 trillion in U.S. investments, Deported illegal alien rapists, gang members, and suspected terrorists from our homeland, and restored common sense to the federal government.
Think about this.
The leftists there are mad when they hear that.
That's right.
We don't live in the same country.
There are people that are going, we're saying the same thing.
She's saying, he's deported violent criminals, rapists, and they're going, he's deported violent criminals and rapists!
Mm-hmm.
Nothing more to add to that.
I'm good with it.
Push back against that.
Yeah, I know.
Think about it.
Oh, don't worry.
They do.
They do.
We'll get to it.
Yeah.
Let's go to a key moment here.
Highlight, I guess, top number four.
Yeah.
She did announce some sweeping changes, which may have some relevance to the folks here in this room, regarding the Trump White House and the briefing room with the media.
I'm excited to announce the following changes will be made to this historic James S. Brady briefing room, where Mr. Brady's legacy will endure.
This White House believes strongly in the First Amendment, so it's why our team will work diligently to restore the press passes of the 440 journalists whose passes were wrongly revoked by the previous administration.
We're also opening up this room to new media voices who produce news-related content and whose outlet is not already represented by one of the seats in this room.
Which makes sense that she went on to announce the upcoming bout between Lily Phillips and Jim Acosta.
That's going to be...
So I can see it going both ways.
But think about that.
We go back to the Hitler comparison.
We all remember Hitler going, look, I'm sorry I tried to control the media.
We're going to reinstate it.
And I think more voices.
We only fight bad ideas with better ideas.
More critical press.
Come on, can you imagine?
440 people had their press passes removed under or revoked under the previous administration, and they're reinstating them, plus opening up the floodgates and saying, hey, by the way, we're going to have a permanent chair for people who are not, you know, you guys.
And by the way, you want to know how you win?
They didn't ban Jim Acosta.
They bitch-slapped Jim Acosta.
And now he lost his spot.
You bring in more voices and may the best person win.
They don't ban the people they don't like.
They have the conversation with them.
And everyone saw Jim Acosta for being the hack, the shill that he was.
They're bringing in...
You may not like it.
You may say that, hey, there are some people who are unqualified or illegitimate.
Okay, fine.
But if the spirit is, hey, let's bring in more press, that is transparency.
It's not control of the media.
Change my mind.
You won't.
Yes.
That much of a liberal douchebag that CNN kicked you out?
That's like getting kicked out of Guns N' Roses for drugs.
It's insane!
What a D-bag.
Oh, and he has to mouth on the way out.
He gives a whole speech about anti-Trump.
Like Tommy Lee coming, what do you mean my wiener's too big?
Come on!
All right.
Here's a highlight, number three.
So, Levitt, finally, it shouldn't be that big a deal, but it became a big deal, again, because of lack of transparency.
She finally dished on the details as it relates to the drones that you saw over New Jersey.
I do have news directly from the President of the United States.
That was just shared with me in the Oval Office.
From President Trump directly, an update on the New Jersey drones.
After research and study...
The drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.
Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational, and private individuals that enjoy flying drones.
In time, it got worse due to curiosity.
This was not the enemy.
Quick fact check, yes, drone hobbyists generally do enjoy flying drones, except for the one exception, Timmy, who doesn't want to fly drones, Dad, so that should have been mentioned.
I don't like that Dad's right behind him.
I rate this half a Pinocchio.
This isn't the Scouts.
Hey, if that's all it was, why?
Why not just tell people?
That's incompetence.
Do you know how many people...
I hate when the government gives people opportunity to come up with a conspiracy theory.
Don't let them have a runway for it.
People are like, ah, it's aliens!
Ah, it's a mothership from Iran and they've got drone swarms everywhere and we're about to be invaded.
No.
Just tell us what it is so that we can understand.
We're going to run to the conspiracy if you say, ah, what drones?
Yeah.
Who's the military guy?
Famous quote.
He said, we're doing our job if the whole country's confused.
Oh, I don't remember who it was.
I think it was a military guy.
But I don't think it's incompetence.
No, no.
Actually, somebody in this country.
Was that Lyndon Johnson?
It might have been Lyndon Johnson or it might have been Diane Carroll.
She had a show on the 60s.
No, I don't know.
I'll just be the tiebreaker and say Panetta.
But I'm just saying, I don't think it's incompetence.
It's all intentional.
Yeah.
They tease you and they confuse you.
Well, this is what they do.
They do.
They accuse you of a conspiracy theory until, and if I were RFK Jr. today, again, every single question, bring it up, I would answer with, we're dying number three.
That's every single one.
You said it was a conspiracy.
Number three.
People were going third nuts and you told me they were never mine.
If I was him, I would troll the senators that asked me really hard questions and be like, I responded in writing already.
This really hurts my voice.
Listen to this.
I'd just throw a Pop-Tart in their face.
Eat it!
Eat it!
Eat your red dye!
Your blood filling!
I've been drinking Powerade, the red ones, for about two years now.
To the point where I piss red.
So I've got about five minutes left.
That's about all of us.
According to the Kennedy.
You realize this?
It was in everything.
Yeah.
I went home.
And I still like it.
I'm still alive.
Look at me.
Yeah, I know.
Look, I'm 31 years old.
Look at me.
Look, you do.
I would think that you are a dead ringer for a boyfriend of Caroline Levitt.
She's 27. Yeah, what's your point?
What's your point?
He's got the Sicilian blood.
Olive skin.
You said Sicilian this time, not Sicilian.
I know.
I forgot to say it the right wrong way.
Sicilian!
Sicilian!
Sorry, I'll correct myself.
Yes, Gerald.
Sicilian.
No, I'm good.
I was impressed.
27 years old.
She's doing really well.
Gerald, I get hit on by a 22-year-old flight attendant, a guy named Kevin.
Nice black fellow with a lisp.
He's Sicilian.
He gets hit on by every flight attendant in spirit.
That's true.
Wait, we sprung for spirit?
He one of us!
Look at his 23 and me.
He one of us.
Now!
Key moment number two was a lot of fun.
Levitt identified at least one specific federal program that was going to be cut.
Doge and OMB also found that there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza.
That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money.
So that's what this pause is focused on, being good stewards of tax dollars.
Yes, they wasted a lot of money.
And don't get me started.
We've covered this on the funding.
For shrimp on a treadmill.
Or the funding for condoms for shrimp on a treadmill.
It's a waste.
Oh my god, it's Howie Mandel.
I'm not wearing a hat.
Perfect.
Oh my god.
Condoms for Gaza?
You can't get a 12-year-old boy pregnant.
That doesn't go on in their culture.
Look it up.
Pretty much if you wanted to guarantee one place where they wouldn't use condoms.
It's almost like the rape is a power move and no protection is part of the thrill.
What are they?
Gold-plated condoms?
Somebody did the math on this and it was incredible.
I don't know research if you guys can pull it up or if we just need to move on.
You're talking about the number of condoms?
It was like 50,000 per male that's still left in Gaza.
How much sex are they having?
Yeah, I mean, plus they also made the mistake of selling magnums and that's not going to be used by one.
No, that's true.
They stick gunpowder in those things.
They stuff them with gunpowder.
Those are their grenades.
They're very behind the times.
That'd be like sending North Korea a bunch of size 12 shoes.
All right, and I would say this is, we have a bonus, but key moment number one.
Again, there's a new sheriff in town.
We're seeing the change, and of course Kaylee was great, and I knew her a while back when she used to work at Fox News.
She was fantastic.
Caroline's a friend of the show, full disclosure.
But she did lay down the law, and this was the first kind of adversarial exchange she had.
I think she handled it well.
You let us know what you think on illegal immigration.
Of the 3,500 arrests ICE has made so far since President Trump came back into office, can you just tell us the numbers?
How many have a criminal record versus those who are just in the country illegally?
All of them, because they illegally broke our nation's laws, and therefore they are criminals, as far as this administration goes.
I know the last administration didn't see it that way, so it's a big culture shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal, but that's exactly what they are.
If they broke our nation's laws, yes, they are criminals.
Jeffrey, thank you.
Wait, hold on.
She just said that I want to make sure that I... So breaking the law is a crime, right?
That's like the definition of it?
Yeah.
Still a crime.
Do you believe me?
Shut up!
I don't care.
Shut up.
We're not doing this anymore.
We're done with that.
You're done.
Okay?
That was beautiful.
She hit that out of the park.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
She drove that fastball down the middle.
Somebody get Carolyn a condom after what she did to them.
Make sure they're semi-protected.
What the hell?
What kind of show is this?
I'm storming out of here.
Oh, here's a bonus.
Here's a bonus, actually, by the way.
She did commit to, I don't think that I've seen this clip, but correcting what has been a legacy in our media here of fake news.
I commit to telling the truth from this podium every single day.
I commit to speaking on behalf of the President of the United States.
That is my job.
And I will say it's very easy to speak truth from this podium when you have a President who is implementing policies that are wildly popular with the American people, and that's exactly what this administration is doing.
It's correcting the lies and the wrongs of the past four years, many of the lies that have been told to your faces in this very briefing room.
I will not do that.
Yes, ma'am.
I feel like I did when I saw Tom Sillick walk out of the limo.
I saw him, I said, I get it.
If I wasn't able to, I wouldn't ask her to talk dirty, I'd ask her to talk the truth to me.
Yes, exactly.
Tell me about the disproportionate press coverage.
Shh!
Give me a wet nap.
Tell me your thoughts on Karen Jampier.
Timmer.
Now, Leavitt did obviously a really good job, but I will say she does have big shoes to fill of who I view as the ultimate press secretary, parallel universe Nick DiPaolo.
Did President Trump commit a crime?
Did he commit a crime?
Are we talking when he was 11 and he stole a Mars bar?
The king of real estate in New York?
Has he committed a crime?
I'm sure he has.
That's why I worked for him.
I don't trust people who haven't done something shitty in their lives.
Do you?
I don't trust guys who don't curse, who don't like women, who don't shoplift once in a while.
Haven't you been there at the supermarket?
Ten items or less, and the guy in front of you has got 78 items.
Just out of anger, you grab those milk duds.
But he's never done anything serious.
And you know that.
You guys have been trying to sue him for everything.
And you're making him looking like Superman.
We thank you for that.
Who are you going to get to sue him next?
Jacoby and Myers?
This is a joke.
Probably about 5,000 people right now are going to go look up Jacobian Myers.
They are, yeah.
No, no, no.
Stephen, trust me.
They're all over the country.
So I guess you can vote below.
I mean, I think you both have your good qualities.
You both bring your pluses and definitely your minuses.
So that's been good.
You let us know who you think did it better.
better.
That's been Sweet Caroline.
And we are about to go to RFK Jr.
We have a clip that just came in because it's taking place live.
I will tell you this.
The reason that I do like Carolyn Levitt is, and I used to get them because there's Carolyn Sunshine as well.
That's right.
Another good-looking young blonde who's articulate.
It's hard to keep track.
It's a real name?
Yeah.
It's hard to keep track.
She's great because when all is said and done, and you guys, it comes down to being professional.
And you know what?
You do need to sometimes trust the professionals.
You learned that, Tim.
Yeah, unfortunately.
Hey, two-man.
You okay?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, just trying to get these stitches out, but I can't really see what I'm doing.
You're doing it yourself?
Yeah, I always do it myself.
Yeah, that's not going to work.
Here, let me help.
Are those sterile?
Probably.
Don't worry about it.
Just turn around.
Yeah.
No, trust me.
Trust me.
Trust me.
Ah! Josh!
What the f***?

You signed the waiver.
So whatever happens, happens.
Also, you might want to be careful with that weight tree.
I made sure it was a little janky.
Let's grab...
Alright, so RFK, this is Ron Wyden, the gentleman from Oregon, apparently sparring with RFK, and we got a protester that kind of jumps in.
Oh, really?
Okay, this is happening right now, live without a net.
Be clear about what you've actually done then, since you want to deny your statements.
Tell us, Tilda Swinton.
You have a history of trying to take vaccines away from people.
In May of 2021, you petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to not only block Americans from having access to the COVID vaccine, but to prevent any future access to the life-saving vaccines.
Are you denying that?
Your name is on the petition!
Shut up, Sally.
We brought that petition after.
CDC recommended a COVID vaccine without any scientific basis for six-year-old children.
Most experts agree today, even the people who did it back then, that COVID vaccines are inappropriate for six-year-old children who basically have a zero risk.
I'm COVID. That's why I brought that on.
Said that on the show.
I don't want to emphasize.
For two weeks.
I don't.
The facts Get Jenny McCallisney out of here What is that, Joy Reid?
Oh, look, she's wearing a mask.
She's got a mask on.
Oh, it's a nurse.
They're escorting the true hero.
She wants to yell out stuff, but she's got a mask on.
Yeah, exactly.
Bullshit, it's freedom of speech.
Ooh.
Wow.
Okay, Dad.
Wow.
Boy, talk about a non-threat.
If you do more of that, we're going to go away.
We're going to go to lunch.
We're going to fire off a strong email.
I love, by the way, that she chose to time her protest with, children didn't need this, and I was just saying so.
What do you?
That's children.
I've jabbed my son 18 times!
He should have started dubbing her.
Don't worry, I can speak mask.
Yeah, hold on.
She's saying she's a non-bitch.
Her words, not mine.
Red dye number three.
You can even do voices of guys with throat cancer.
That's all it is.
Red dye, you son of a bitch.
Somebody to speak for him, he brought Nick Nolte.
He brought Nick Nolte as an interpreter.
I remember thinking, I can tell him, Tommy.
He said, you rotten red guy.
That is Nolte.
You godless sons of bitches.
Yeah, you tell him.
I'm telling him.
This isn't helping me.
Now listen, Mr. Katie.
Yeah.
Hold on, hold on.
I'm tired.
I brought my assistant.
Gilbert.
He says red dye number three!
What are you putting in these Pop-Tarts?
It's Val Kilmer next.
Red dye.
I ate too much red dye.
I'm sorry.
Damn you, Catherine.
We're very, very silly.
Different person.
But for crying out, hey, Mission Control, can you bring up...
Now that we can't...
Because, keep in mind, you talk about, hey, where are the winds?
Does the pendulum swing?
No, we were actually suspended on YouTube.
You got us suspended for quoting the CDC. Out of California.
Their stats on the four of the last ten years were more deadly for the flu season than COVID. Combined.
Yeah.
It was all COVID deaths combined at that point weren't as bad as a singular flu season.
We quoted...
I believe it was the CDC, or was it...
I quoted the CDC's California stat.
California stat, and we were suspended from YouTube for two weeks.
That's what these people do.
And then they malign you and say, we're not talking about being anti-vaccine.
We're talking about being pro-science.
Because the science on this is irrefutable.
I know what you'll say, you're not a scientist.
Okay, guess what?
Neither are you.
We're very, very clear on the fact that six-year-olds were never at risk for COVID. They knew it then.
They know it now.
And they banned us then for saying it.
And they now want to browbeak as though you weren't wrong.
Lab?
Not a Wuhan market?
Yep.
COVID? Not as deadly as the flu for kids?
Yep.
Side effects that are unprecedented?
Yes.
Record profits made with no liability?
Absolutely.
Just don't apologize.
That's it.
We're done with it.
I'm sure Mission Control can bring that up.
You got a suspended.
I did.
And then I docked your pay.
I love it.
You did?
We'll continue with RFK. I'm sure there'll be more moments.
I'm sure there'll be more.
He's going to be a lot nicer, I bet, than Pete Hegseth.
Because he is more of a...
I mean, he's not a Republican.
I don't want to say he's a moderate, he's just not a Republican or a Democrat.
But I think there are a few people on this panel that are going to go after him in a way that he doesn't appreciate and probably already doesn't like them.
And I think that's going to come out a little bit.
I think, look, RFK is controversial, but I think he knows that he's probably going to get confirmed and he's going to make a little bit of a stand.
I hope.
I hope he does that because that's kind of what we want him in that position for.
Yeah.
He's the best guy for the moment.
You know what Donald Trump is?
I was just talking with Toolman about this the other day.
I truly believe, That he's in this term right now, and he knows he has to go for broke because trying to appease everyone is futile, right?
That first, that honeymoon period, you have a higher approval rating.
And last time he came in and he tried to sort of pacify some people, he's like, look, people are going to hate me no matter what, so I'm just going to deliver on my promises.
I'm going to do what I said I would do.
And it's actually worked out for him.
If you're Donald Trump at this point, you go, what are you going to do?
Put me in jail?
You're going to call me a rapist or a racist?
What are you going to do?
Shoot me!
There's nothing...
He's bulletproof.
I'd leave off the last one.
He's bullet resistant.
He's been shot at.
Everything has happened to him at this point.
Okay, fine.
What are you going to bring to him?
You screwed up, left.
You screwed up, and now you've created the Frankenstein monster that you feared.
Good work.
So, let's go to the federal government here.
The left is lying to you.
I want to be very, very clear.
They're not maybe uninformed.
The left is proactively lying to you, the media, to try and scare you while they condemn Donald Trump for creating a culture of fear.
We're talking about the spending, the freeze, the pause that's been going on.
Let me be really clear here.
Before we get to anything else, you do remember, right, that every year the government loses at minimum $233 billion to $521 billion on fraud alone, meaning we don't know what happens with it.
It's somewhere.
Half a trillion dollars a year is, it just vaporizes.
So the idea that there doesn't need to be a pause or an audit of the same government that can audit all of you is silly.
And anyone who opposes it in principle is a Marxist.
Yep, I'll speak in absolutes.
So we know that.
But they also waste.
$500,000 to run a social media hashtag campaign in Ethiopia is one that was found.
Not to be confused, by the way, with the development of the wildly successful Ethiopian app Find My Well Water.
That one worked out.
And they're eating the mouses over there.
Yes!
Yes, well, I'd like a good mouse.
They're eating the mice.
$3 million was spent on girl-centered climate action in Brazil.
Look, if you want to spend billions just to study the girls in Brazil, I'm on board.
Not their climate action, though.
That's, of all the reasons I'm interested in Brazilian ladies, their climate activism is not amongst them.
They're supposed to be hot and humid down there.
Exactly.
Exactly.
If you guys want to send them some humidifiers, great.
Turn it into a steam room.
Girls send it climate action.
Because they're hot?
I don't even get what that means.
It's like spring year round.
Is it like this?
Is it global warming?
I'd spend three billion to study Carnival, and by that I mean send me every single year all expenses paid.
Yes, and waxing.
I'd like to see some close-ups.
Yep, yep.
I'm sorry, Miss Father.
I didn't know you were gay.
I didn't know you wanted to see men.
Who said men, Father?
Again, I think you're really like...
We're talking about girl-centered climate action, which, by the way, is the issue of our time.
So it made sense on Monday when the Trump administration announced, again, if you understand the waste, half a trillion dollars a year.
They announced a freeze and were very clear as to what the freeze addressed and the left lied about it on federal funding.
Panic mode.
President Trump plunges state and local agencies into chaos after announcing a freeze on billions, potentially trillions, in government funding while leaving key details out.
How an order less than a thousand words long could upend the services that Americans rely on every day.
Oh, God.
Great.
And by the way, the spokesperson for said freeze was not pulling any punches.
I'm afraid that my condition has left me cold.
To your pleas of mercy.
Maybe not the best offense, but you need someone who's a get-it-done kind of guy.
Was that from The Godfather?
Part two.
That was three.
It's from the worst movie ever made.
It's from the film.
It was the first time as a child where I realized, oh, I'd rather be doing something.
You can have movies that make me wish I was doing something else.
I didn't know that was possible until now.
I love that.
They spent 40 hours making them up and stuff.
As soon as he opens his mouth, it's Schwarzenegger.
Yeah, exactly.
He thought, I'm going to get an Oscar for this.
Or metal poisoning.
That's right.
Method acting.
Someone get me an ugly maid.
I'm horny.
Now, poor wife.
She had to walk around seeing a boy of the maid who looked exactly like him.
You know anything about that?
Never seen him before in my life.
Weird.
And the kid's like, I don't know him.
I've never met him.
So, freezing federal funding.
Great!
Good!
Perfect!
Of course, that means those on the left.
Because in principle, you should never freeze.
You should never pause.
You should never decrease funding.
So they freaked out and melted down.
This decision is lawless.
Oh, God.
It's destructive.
It's dangerous.
It's cruel.
And I'm wearing a shirt I stole from the art class rack.
Say hello to Fred Wynn to my left.
But nothing's worse than this.
Nothing?
Chlamydia?
I'll fact check all of it.
I am leading and joining with my colleagues, my fellow Democratic attorney generals, in suing this administration to stop this illegal freeze of essential funds for our state.
This is a recipe for chaos.
Abe Vigoda.
She looks like if she takes off her glasses, her nose would come off with them.
Have demanded that this decision be reversed.
The president must immediately reverse course.
Look at this psychotic.
People's lives and livelihoods are at stake.
What a piece of ass.
To be fair, again, the free spokesperson did try and calm their fears.
All right, everyone!
Chill!
Well, that just makes it...
They need to learn to de-escalate.
Steven, what movie was that?
I just have to...
It was Batman and Robin.
Awful.
Just terrible.
Oh, that was Mr. Freeze.
Yeah, it was Mr. Freeze.
It was the Arnold Mr. Freeze.
Still waiting on the Oscar.
Still waiting.
Five minutes, just to be clear.
And we're going to fact-check all of this.
What they just said is incorrect.
And I'll give you all those references.
But five minutes right after, or sorry, I guess right before this order was taking effect, there was a Biden-appointed U.S. district judge, ordered a pause on it.
So right away, you have the law fair.
Now it would be, okay, is this unconstitutional?
If what they said is correct, okay, the judge would be within their bounds to do that.
Or is it politicizing our justice system?
Again, let's go to another installment of Claim Truth.
Okay.
I want to get into what this freeze actually is, what it is not, how it is being mislabeled, misrepresented to the American public, how you're being gaslit, and if it's constitutional and if there's any kind of precedence here.
So let's go to the first claim that they're making, that President Trump is blocking funds that Americans really need.
If your goal is to make America great again, why would you start by cutting these basic services for families and deserving people across this country?
For goodness sakes, we're better than that.
I'm proud of a nation that cares for people who need a helping hand.
I'm not ashamed to say that.
And some of these people, particularly veterans, earned it.
Earned it over and over again.
And he wears a speed bump for a tie.
Here's the truth.
Veterans?
This is what they always do.
They go, children, Medicaid, veterans, right?
Right.
To try and scare you.
This memo, this freeze was aimed only at cutting funds to agencies that violate Donald Trump's legitimate executive orders.
This memorandum requires federal agencies to identify and review all federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the president's policies and requirements.
You know, the stuff people voted for.
So executive orders along the lines of the border.
Foreign aid.
Wasteful DEI programs.
Hey, maybe we'll find the half a trillion dollars in annual fraudulent waste there.
I don't know.
Seems like a good place to start.
They're not talking about individuals.
They're talking about, let me give you some examples.
NGOs, for example, working to completely circumvent Donald Trump's border orders.
You've seen those.
You said it's catalyzing gender equity in their whole climate finance.
This is actually what they call it.
Catalyzing gender equity in climate finance.
Afuera!
Science agencies.
Again, these are organizations that fund, quote, diversity efforts in STEM. And I believe it was Stephen Miller yesterday with Jake Tapper, who actually said, you know, these are agencies who have a political bias.
He said, for example, you said, we know that 98% of the people there voted for Kamala Harris.
And he said, well, don't demonize an entire group.
He said, wait, you're saying it's demonizing them?
To tell you they voted for Kamala Harris?
He goes, you're suggesting there's a bias.
Yes!
Yes!
They supported Kamala Harris or left policies or Democrats.
This was in the memo.
Yes.
We called this yesterday.
When we saw this, I said, like, come on, these guys are lying to you right now.
And they throw in veterans.
It doesn't have anything to do with that.
It has everything to do with executive orders.
They knew it from the beginning, and guess what?
Media ran with it again, predictably so.
This is why...
Nothing's changed.
We talked about this yesterday on Rumble Premium.
This is why you can't say, I take it on an issue-by-issue basis.
Sure, the evidence.
But you do need to have a worldview.
You do need to have a lens, a prism through which you see these issues, because then you'll understand.
To say there's no need for this, and by the way, there's never been a need for this, because the left has never supported any kind of measure similar to this, is to say, hey, we need to put more money into the currently existing system, and that's compassionate.
The solution is always, more money?
And that equals compassion.
Taking more money from you, it's your money, and putting it into a program that has not worked is what the left views as compassion.
And because of that worldview, they can never, they can never start off at the point of, hey, maybe, maybe less money here.
Maybe it would be more effective to innovate.
Maybe it would be more effective to redistribute this somewhere that might actually be effective.
No, because that also wouldn't be compassionate.
Public education, more money.
Trillions isn't enough.
More money because it's compassionate.
Hey, how about charter schools?
No, no, no.
More money to the current program.
Right now, more money to the federal government.
Someone says, hey, hold on a second.
There's 500 billion in annual waste in fraud.
It's not compassionate to even look at that and audit it.
More money to audit Americans.
It's two different worldviews.
One is, effectively, government is God.
Who are you to question God?
Let's go to the next claim that they make.
This freeze, they actually said this, is going to starve.
The children to death.
Would somebody please think of the children?
Now, if I could ask the control room to put that graphic back up on screen that was showing some of these programs that might be impacted potentially.
Acosta used to have a show on CNN. Head Start, school breakfast and lunch programs.
My goodness, Congressman, these are programs for needy kids, for hungry kids.
We're going to stop giving kids a breakfast?
We're going to stop giving kids a lunch when they need one?
That sounds outrageous.
You know, it is.
I can't imagine this is what the American people wanted when President Trump said he had a mandate.
Kids not eating isn't a part of any deal.
Kids being part of a political pawn game.
Well, first off, it's exactly what they voted for, especially because he's not starving any kids.
Also, have you seen kids today?
They can skip a few breakfasts.
Lay off me, I'm starving!
That felt very Colin Quinnish.
Have you seen kids today?
They could skip a few breakfasts.
It's true, though.
It's true.
I was at the hotel here last summer when I first started coming here.
Best pair of tits I saw at the pool was a 14-year-old boy.
I saw him.
I saw him.
And he was doing this.
He wasn't even ashamed.
No, he wasn't.
Yes, that's right.
And his parents told him he was doing good.
Absolutely.
The problem is the parents, I think, is the message here.
Red dye.
Number three.
Here's the truth.
That's just a lie.
Let me, again, direct you to what was explicitly outlined in the memo from the White House.
Any program that provides direct benefits to Americans is explicitly excluded from the pause and exempted from this review process.
In addition to Social Security and Medicare, already explicitly excluded in the guidance, mandatory programs like Medicaid and SNAP will continue without...
Pause.
And Carolyn Levitt made this abundantly clear to the media at the very first press conference.
Well, I think there's only uncertainty in this room amongst the media.
There's no uncertainty in this building.
So let me provide the certainty and the clarity that all of you need.
This is not a blanket pause on federal assistance and grant programs from the Trump administration.
Individual assistance, that includes, I'm not naming everything that's included, but just to give you a few examples, Social Security benefits, Medicare benefits, food stamps, welfare benefits, assistance that is going directly to individuals will not be impacted by this pause.
Ignorance is no longer defense.
Jim Acosta lied to you.
CNN is lying to you.
They can't say we didn't know.
They know they're lying.
Are you starting to get the picture?
Do you know what time press briefings happen?
Yeah.
Noon.
Mm-hmm.
Noon.
Yes.
At noon, you had guidance.
Yep.
At noon, every single reporter on the planet, because it is the first press conference of the Trump administration, knew it was a lie.
Yep.
And ran with it on every single show afterwards.
Yep.
It's not like they can say, oh, the memo, it was confusing.
At noon Eastern time, you knew.
It is.
It's discouraging, but it makes me excited they're going back to the same playbook.
Yes, they are.
They have nothing.
I've been hearing this since I first started following politics.
Yes.
The media was saying the same crap about Reagan.
They got nothing.
It really is the Marxist playbook.
Otherwise, they're arguing against common sense and reason.
That's exactly right.
It really is fun to watch.
Where they're going, and I've been saying it, we have to dismantle that.
Stop treating them like they're a legitimate party.
No.
You know what I mean?
I agree with you.
I've been trying to come up with a name other than Democrats.
Communists.
God damn it, you nailed it.
That's actually what they are.
Marxists.
You didn't follow the rules.
You called him Hitler, a threat to democracy.
You lied about the pause.
Therefore, you got nothing!
Here's another claim that they make.
Knowing that it's a lie, I want to be really clear, that this freeze is unconstitutional.
Some of you may have believed it.
Do you believe that the action that the Trump administration is taking here is illegal?
Pause.
It's a nightly show.
I can't do the man voice in a woman.
I can't just, hey, talk dirty to me.
It's just something about it, but go ahead.
Unconstitutional.
It is absolutely clear, based upon prior Supreme Court decisions, that the president cannot unilaterally suspend government programs in order to impose his own priorities and his own policy on top of what was passed by Congress.
To me, this is inherently corrupt.
What Trump is trying to do is seize control of government spending so that he can send money to his friends and loyalists and he can punish states, for instance, like Connecticut, that are represented by his political opponent.
Mm-hmm.
And red dye number three doesn't cause cancer.
Stop!
The fact that they have a D next to the representative next to their name, who cares?
These people aren't experts.
They lie to you constantly.
Here's the truth.
It is the president's job to enforce the law.
Now I know the Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse.
We understand that.
I watch Schoolhouse Rock 2. Article 2, Section 3 does state, the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully...
Executed.
And President Trump can take care that those laws are faithfully executed by impounding, pausing, freezing funds.
There you go.
Let me give you some history here.
The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
It outlines all of this.
The procedure, the logistics for the president to impound funds.
It permits the president to temporarily defer spending without congressional approval.
All he needs to do is notify Congress.
You may not like it, but that doesn't give you the right to lie and say it's unconstitutional or without any type of precedent, which brings us to another key truth.
Residents have done this many times before, impounding freezing funds.
Let's go back to 1803, Thomas Jefferson.
He impounded funds that were allocated for military equipment.
Congress wanted to purchase gunboats for potential conflict in the Port of New Orleans.
Jefferson paused that because his completion of the Louisiana Purchase ended these sort of potential hostilities.
Okay, so he paused it.
And by the way, it was better judgment.
1876, Ulysses S. Grant did the same thing.
He impounded certain funds as a...
I'm trying to remember which funds he...
Do we have the overlay?
I just know that it happened in 1876. Anyways, we have the reference there for you.
1940, the hero of the left, FDR. He did the same thing.
He impounded funds as part of the Great Depression recovery.
And this is one of those things I understand that they are routinely litigated.
He's going to have to battle this in court.
But for them to tell you that kids won't eat, not true.
That veterans aren't getting what they need, not true.
How do I know that they know it's not true?
Because they were notified in written form, and it was reiterated at the very first White House press briefing.
None of those things, that it's unconstitutional, not true.
That it's never been done before, not true.
But here's the thing, if you believe everything the left says, like on the Reddit politics board, you'll believe that he's Hitler.
And you might try and take a shot at him.
See how that works?
You believe he has no authority.
You believe he's a tyrant.
You believe he's trying to control the press.
You don't understand that he's pausing.
Federal funding.
You don't understand that he's opening up the press pool to more people.
You don't understand that he's acting well within the parameters, as many presidents have before.
So you would think that, my God, he might be, oh, that's why they keep saying it, Hitler.
And then blame you for fomenting hatred and creating a culture of fear and division.
So while the judge, by the way, did put a temporary kind of pause on this order, halt, I guess, Trump, Was still working in a way that I love, by the way, because this will show you who is for real.
He was working late into the night to cut out some waste and offered some federal employees, I mean the true heroes, a choice to make.
President Trump says the federal government will offer buyouts to federal workers as part of his effort to shrink the size of the governmental workforce.
The government sent out an email Tuesday offering buyouts to all two million federal employees who agree to leave their jobs by February 6. It's coming alongside the federal government mandating a return to office for all workers.
News outlets, including Axios and NBC News, report that a Trump administration official told them the White House expects between 5 and 10 percent of federal employees to take the offer, something that could shrink the federal workforce by hundreds of thousands of people.
Which could amount to, I believe, about $100 billion.
So he basically offered to give them severance to...
To buy them out.
Effectively, this offer.
I buy you out.
You don't buy me out.
Your casino loses money.
Maybe we can do better.
You think I'm skimming off the top, Mike?
You're unlucky.
Let's just call $500 billion in annual waste unlucky.
You goddamn guineas really make me laugh.
Just go in and go, look, guys, we've got to pause this.
How many shrimps on a treadmill do you need?
Zero.
That's the answer.
Put them on my plate.
I'm sending back the shrimp.
It's too fat.
Yeah.
He needs to skip a breakfast.
Put him on a diet.
And the email, by the way, that was sent government-wide included instructions on how to quit, and this is just so much fun.
This is great.
It says, if you wish to resign, select reply to this email.
You must reply from your government account.
Type the word resign into the body of this email and hit send.
There you go, man.
That sums it up, how easy it could be.
They're even being efficient in the resigning.
Absolutely.
Like, well, I'd like to talk about this.
Look!
Hit resign!
Or don't.
It's super duper easy.
I could even do that.
I love it.
That's eight months' salary.
That would be $100 billion if 5-10% quit.
There's 2 million federal workers.
I did 2 freaking million federal workers.
Get rid of them.
Smash that button.
I love it.
It's like a text message.
Reply.
Smash that button.
If you'd like to get 8 months severance and leave your job.
Oh, God.
I love it.
Do I like you?
I have to check yes or no.
No!
All two million people got that email, I believe.
I love it.
Hit like.
I hear that Cindy next to you has a crush on you.
Just kidding, you're fired.
If they hit reply, by the way, they get something back that says, Just kidding, you're fired!
Yeah, exactly.
To choose your own path and it all goes to no job.
By the way, you do realize, I believe this was offered...
Certainly at first to federal workers who were called back to the office and still want to work from home.
Right.
Just in case you thought there was a different standard for you and federal workers.
Can you imagine in 2025 still working from home?
If so, you're probably that broad at the RFK hearing right now who protested wearing a mask.
You're probably still that person.
Yeah.
And in a recent poll just talking about the mandate, most Americans like this idea.
Damn good deal.
See?
There you go.
And so, hey, download the app.
If you are on Rumble, it's the best way you will know that we are live.
You just get notifications for live.
Rumble owns live.
And do consider joining Rumble Premium because, hey, we went through this for years.
We did two-a-days during COVID. We got banned for weeks and weeks and weeks, including an entire election stream, for saying exactly what people are so bold to say now.
When saying it for years, we've only been able to because of your support.
Mug Club is now Rumble Premium.
Rumble Premium is Mug Club.
You get everything ad-free.
It's your one-stop.
We appreciate the support.
And I know we're going to be continuing with more RFK Jr., I believe.
We are.
We're going to have some RFK stuff.
It'll get spicy here in a few minutes with some of the people coming up.
But listen, don't take your foot off the gas.
Continue to support stuff like this because you're going to see the media go after Trump hardcore.
You just saw the lies yesterday.
Shutting down food for kids.
They're going to keep running with that.
Comparing him to Hitler.
You thought it was bad before.
We've only just begun.
This fight just started.
Yeah, it's funny you guys, well, Stephen, you brought up Reddit politics and you go there, the first actual link, not the pin.
Trump is trying to collapse our economy.
War on woke revealed as war on all Americans.
Oh, yeah.
No, I get it.
What was that?
When you sign an executive order saying that we're not going to do it.
Think about it.
Think about who they claim to represent here.
Yeah, I know we have to hit the YouTube dump.
I don't care at this point.
Think about who they claim to represent.
It's an attack against us all.
Yes, yes.
Current soldiers undergoing sexual reassignment surgery not being allowed, not being considered combat ready.
That's an attack against you, the working American on the assembly line.
That's an attack against you, the small business owner, right?
We're all the same.
We all hold hands.
We are the world.
Wait, what?
What do you mean you're not with us?
Approval rating what?
Well, shoot.
By the way, Nick DiPaolo is going to be Bricktown Comedy Club Thursday, February 20th, and then 21st Funny Bone in St. Louis.
Funniest man alive.
Go see him while you can, because I don't know if you know this, the genetics with Sicilians.
