🔴 Trump's Hitlist Grows: USAID, Dept. of Education, CIA, and... Gaza?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Well kids, here's another story from Dr. Hoffman's Pretty Stories and Funny Pictures.
This one is the story of Augustus who would not have any soup.
Okay?
Augustus was a chubby lad.
Fat, ruddy cheeks Augustus had.
Ooh, that's fat shaming.
Well, it gets better.
And everybody saw with joy the plump and hearty, healthy boy.
See, it's not fat shaming after all.
He ate and drank as he was told and never let his soup get cold.
But one day, one cold winter's day, he screamed out, take the soup away.
Oh, take the nasty soup away.
I won't have any soup today.
I know something's wrong with the soup, I guess.
Next day, now look.
The picture shows how lank and lean Augustus grows.
Look.
See?
This could be marketing.
Yet though he feels so weak and ill, the fellow cries out still, Not any soup for me, I say.
Oh, take the nasty soup away.
I won't have any soup today.
Now, you know, this is either some really, really horrible soup or a terribly effective, very marketable weight loss.
The third day comes.
What a sin to make himself so pale and thin.
Yet, when the soup is put on the table, he screams as loud as he is able.
Not any soup for me, I say.
Oh, take the nasty soup away.
I won't have any soup today.
This is just terrible.
Look at him.
Now the fourth day has come.
He scarcely weighs a sugar plum.
He's like a little bit of thread.
And on the fifth day, he was dead.
So, gallon of milk a day.
You kids remember that.
gallon of milk a day.

Outro Music
Outro Music All right, I'm glad to be with you.
I just got to tell you today, we're going to be talking about defunding, killing, if you will, the Department of Education.
Yes, I'm pro that.
We're going to be talking about the art of the deal as it relates to Gaza.
A little iffy.
USAID fallout is continuing.
This man is delivering on his promises, but I'm excited about something here.
This is an exclusive to us, and I say this without a hint of hyperbole.
It is the best...
Child predator sexual criminal sting of all time.
You couldn't sketch it out funnier than this, and it has a happy ending, okay?
Just to be clear.
I couldn't stop.
I couldn't breathe this morning.
So I guarantee you at some point during that segment, the people out there undercover, they're doing the Lord's work.

Let me ask you this question of the day.
What would you cut in the federal government?
Like, what would be next for you?
What would you get rid of?
What would you axe?
What would you give the boot?
I say everything.
Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?
I'm good, how are you?
Good.
And Josh Feierstein, you are here, sir.
I am here.
You're going to be in Spokane, Washington Comedy Clubs.
That's this weekend.
This weekend.
Friday and Saturday.
This weekend.
Four shows, come on.
You guys saw The Predator Sting, right?
Yes.
It has nothing to do with my show.
Was it?
I said it was awesome.
Am I overselling it?
No.
No, it's funny.
It really is.
Yeah, I thought it was fake at first.
Okay, a little teaser.
The phrase actually, this phrase actually takes place.
I wasn't going to do nothing.
I was just going to tell her to stay in school and stuff.
Stop smoking cigarettes.
Yeah, yeah.
Drink milk.
Don't play with blasting caps.
You know, good.
Drink milk, don't end up on the side of one.
Yes, yes.
It is just, I'm looking forward to presenting this.
And it's all supported by viewers like you.
Thank you, Milk Club Rumble Premium.
Okay, so, the two dumbest broads in Congress, they were doing what dumb broads do the last couple of days.
days, so it's time for the most recent installment of Who Did It Worse?
All right.
Is one of the broads Lindsey Graham?
Or just the voice of Kennedy?
Well, he's Senator.
I like Kennedy.
Yeah, I like omelets and I like sex!
Who doesn't, dude?
What are you talking about?
Gotta break a few eggs for sex and for omelets, I don't know.
I like him.
He just has a Lady Lane voice.
All right.
And we're talking these broads.
AOC, Cortez, to the uninitiated.
Not the kinky store.
No.
The dumb broad.
She had these comments or thoughts that turned into semi-comments on wealthiest man ever, Elon Musk.
This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen, or witnessed.
Which, you know, you can probably even glean that from watching these people on TV. Anyways, all of that is to say...
Is that they don't do their homework.
Clearly, they're putting 19-year-olds in at the treasury.
This dude is not smart.
And the danger in the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise that Elon has.
I mean, this guy is one of the most morally vacant, but also just...
You can do it.
Thank you for the six second pause.
But the point is, is that what that means is that they're going to hit a button inevitably.
They're going to hit a button and things can go sideways.
Are they going to hit a button?
It's very important to hit a button.
How about you ask me a question about how unintelligent he is?
Next up will be Jasmine Crockett.
But she is questioning the intellect of Elon Musk.
Look, he may be on the spectrum like many geniuses as far as social skills.
There's a lot on which I disagree with Elon Musk.
But it's really hard when you're making the case that someone's an idiot.
It's hard if you're making the case sounding like an idiot.
That makes it exceedingly difficult.
And just to prove my point, I've transcribed it.
So, she says, this dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met, seen, or witnessed.
Um, ha ha ha.
Which, you know, you can probably even glean that from watching these people on TV. What?
Anyways, all of that is to say, is that they don't do their homework clearly.
Like!
They're putting 19-year-olds in at the Treasury.
This dude is not smart.
Um, and, uh, and, um, the danger in not in the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise, um, and that Elon has.
This is not right for me to do because you shouldn't pick on someone who's functionally retarded.
Which I think she's doing.
She is.
Look, yeah, there are people I disagree with who are smart.
She is not one of them.
And Ilhan Omar banged her brother.
Let's go to Jasmine Crockett.
In at their wedding.
Yes, exactly.
For a visa.
You know, she's looking out for the interests of Somalia, which I think she should go back.
Comment below if you disagree.
Jasmine Crockett.
She went on CNN to spew this racist diatribe.
And she's one of those women who you have no idea what she looks like when she's not playing professional.
I mean, the caked-on layers of lead paint and the corset.
She goes home.
She doesn't change into sweats.
She pulls a ripcord.
Just...
Here she is being racist.
The coddling is for the white boys.
That's what's happening right now.
I am tired of the white tears.
Listen, if you are competent, you are not concerned.
When I walk into Congress every single day, you know why I don't feel a way and why you can't make me doubt who I am?
It's because I know that I had to work 10 times as hard as they did just to get into the seat.
When you look and you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison.
And that is the life that we have always lived.
So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so much harder.
This is why they don't want us to have education.
Well, I know it's hard to see through your lenses of racism and you're so nearsighted.
Maybe those mediocre white boys didn't grow up in the lap of privilege, like going to a $20,000 per year private school, then a $55,000 a year Rhodes University in Tennessee, getting your law degree from university.
And basically getting a million dollars for your first campaign from Sam Bankman Freed.
This whole act of hers, the mediocre white boys and the struggle that I have had this entire time where I didn't go to the 30k a year private school.
It was 20k!
I had to watch.
I had a best friend.
They was twins.
They had to share a Mercedes on the Sweet 16. They didn't have their own.
There was littering.
There was talkback.
We had truancy officers.
Does she know that Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene aren't white boys?
Yeah, I know.
Those are weird things she brought.
These white boys and here's a couple ladies and I'm not going to mention any boys.
Well, here's the thing.
Either this is all an act and it's disingenuous or these very, very expensive schools and institutions have failed her.
That's true.
Because I'm not able to understand what it is that she's attempting to articulate.
I would just like to do one thing.
I'd like to flip something that she said.
Can I just for a second?
Please do.
Flip it.
Now, this is her speaking, not me, because otherwise you're going to fit me for a freaking hood.
Do it.
I'm tired of black tears.
If you're competent, you're not concerned.
All these mediocre black boys.
Can you imagine a white politician saying that right now?
Especially if he spelled black boys with two I's.
That's already been taken.
Somebody clipped Gerald, by the way.
Not me.
Can you imagine, though?
Can you imagine people's minds just going, what?
Not to mention she co-authored the We Was Kangs bill.
Was?
I know.
The whole thing now, we teach Ebonics, and it's a vernacular.
It's its own language.
I don't buy it.
Okay?
I like English.
I think it should be our official language.
She doesn't speak it very well.
Let's go to USAID. We talked about it yesterday.
The meltdown continued.
We'll get to the Department of Education, which I believe we absolutely should defund.
I will make the case.
But, right now, the theme, the meltdown, is Elon Musk is president, and no one elected Elon.
They had a rally.
This is why I'm not gonna be able to preach because I probably won't be able to stop cussing.
Take your time.
So let me tell you something, Mr. Trump.
Mr. President Trump.
You gonna learn a few lessons from us.
No, he won't.
That guy behind her, I've seen him in MASH. Did she get in her dryer steam cycle?
You can get all of our private information.
Oh, you want to use our money to go to Mars?
No.
We want to use our money right here in Washington, D.C., in this country.
We cannot allow Elon Musk and a small group of people to secretly, behind closed doors, take away our privacy, take away our dollars, take away everything we have.
We are going to Fight this fight!
I am gonna stand with you in this fight!
And we will win!
We will win!
It's very intimidating when the war cry involves the...
Inability to mobilize your own arms.
We will win!
You gotta know what your body looks like, too.
I know with my body, I can't put my arms above my head and not show my belly.
I know, it's embarrassing.
Don't do it.
He doesn't know where his body is in space.
Oh, privacy they care about.
Freedom of speech they now care about.
Not when you were jailing Americans without due process.
violating Americans' privacy, whether it's data mining or the Patriot Act, all of which the left has supported, until they claim that they oppose.
And just to be clear, these people are really, really, really mad that tax dollars could be used to audit the professional auditing agencies.
I want to be really clear about that.
They want to audit, Doge, where the government is spending your money.
This is their civil rights cause.
That the government should not be accountable to anyone.
The Daily Beast, they even did a hit piece on the Doge team.
It's unmasked.
Musk's secret Doge goon squad who are all under 26. As opposed to the people on your side who are all over 85?
Look at those goons.
They look so dangerous.
Some of the smartest people.
Look at these goons.
Look at this highly diverse group of goons.
They're terrified.
Like we said, USAID is the first stone we turned over.
This is why they're terrified of us going into the Department of Education.
This is why they are terrified of us looking into the CIA, the FBI. Insert any government bureaucracy here.
You want to talk entitlement?
How about the entitlement of knowing that there's half a trillion dollars a year in fraud, having done nothing about it, and feeling as though you have the right to never do anything about it?
That's their position.
They haven't proposed, just to be clear, some other kind of efficiency mechanism or auditing tool.
They have not.
They've just said no.
Your tax dollars to us, never in supply, we never answer to you.
Do you understand it?
Comment below.
Do you despise the left enough?
It's not a legitimate party in this country at this point.
So this is just the start of it.
Let's go through a couple of examples.
Donald Trump delivering exactly.
On his promises, President Trump.
Tuesday, USAID said that all the direct-hire employees globally would be placed on leave, excluding some, like, key core positions.
And you know who isn't mad about this?
The supposed USAID recipients in Africa.
Yes, I support the lady.
Trump cuts everything.
Cut everything completely.
He shouldn't even make it 90 water, whatever this.
He should cut it completely.
We don't need it.
It rather goes to other individuals, but not us.
Please, he should cut it completely.
I didn't understand it fully, though he did go on to say, boom-a-lay, boom-a-lay, boom-a-lay.
I agree.
I think that was MC Baba.
MC Baba, come on!
That's where USAID's money went to, was those music videos.
Someone supercut MC Baba to Chuck Schumer.
Yes!
I want it before the end of the show!
The music moves through me!
It's your wedding's worst nightmare!
Ah!
A little bit of a note on USAID. Apparently this came out about Politico.
Politico, I think, received $8.1 million in government funding and also of note, apparently Politico just missed payroll.
Really?
Yes.
Apparently, due to a technical glitch, they said to their employees, they're like, hey, sorry about that.
So, let me just get this straight.
USAID closes down, all this, like, government funding stuff stops happening, and immediately, Politico has a technical glitch with payroll for the first time ever?
Think about it.
We've been fact-checked by Politico wrongly.
Yeah.
American tax dollars were going...
To Politico's propaganda!
A lot.
I mean, 8 million seems like a lot of dollars.
I know, that's a rounding error to those in the federal government, but let's move on to the next one.
And I'm happy about this because remember I said this with Carrie Lake, with Donald Trump Jr., I believe Marco Rubio, with Rand Paul, Vivek.
Any candidate who does not promise to completely disband or at the very least at a foundational level restructure our intelligence agencies, our three-letter agencies, is someone I cannot vote for.
So that for a very long time, that was a closed-handed issue for me.
We're seeing that, and right now, President Trump just offered to buy out the CIA. All of it.
Yes, I know what you're thinking.
The entire workforce.
And by the way, that of course is designed to craft or to create a work environment that will match the policy of the commander-in-chief.
Right.
So far, just to give you an idea, 20,000, this doesn't include the CIA, 20,000 federal employees accepted buyouts from Donald Trump's first offer.
And they are continuing.
They're going to keep coming.
I think it's a fantastic idea.
Anybody who doesn't want to be there, fantastic.
You worried that we're about to come after you because of what you've done?
If you broke the law, we're still coming.
Guess what?
But if you just don't like it, fantastic.
There's the door.
Leave if you don't want to be here.
You left on your own terms?
You get a severance?
Or as the left refers to it, a violation of fundamental human rights.
We really need to understand what a fundamental human right is.
It's not internet, it's not even healthcare, and it's certainly not a cushy job at the CIA with a laptop loaded with child pornography.
6,000 gigabytes, terabytes, that story that came out?
There was more than you need.
No one brought up on charges just to be clear.
And by the way, we do have an exclusive leaked phone call of how this proposal with the CIA initially played out.
Hello, Central Intelligence.
How may I direct your call?
I want to talk to the boss.
I'm sorry, sir.
I need an extension number.
I don't have a number.
Just put me through to whoever's in charge over there.
I'm sorry, sir, but...
Sir, I was saying I'm sorry, but...
Sir, what are you...
Are you pressing buttons?
Operator!
Sir, I am the...
Operator!
No, sir.
Sir.
You have two days.
I think it's fine.
*laughter* It's what I voted for!
Now I won't be able to operate my iPad with a wet finger.
I should have thought this through.
Didn't.
Here's another one.
The FBI now has agreed to turn over the files on, I know what you're thinking, a few.
Because we've been told there are a few bad people, a few bad apples.
Just a couple.
Yeah, it's not rotten to the core.
A handful.
5,000 employees who worked in the January 6th case.
What?
5,000 employees.
Just a couple.
Isn't it crazy to think of how many more employees there were involved than people actually brought up on any type of charges on January 6th?
That's like, how many employees, can we do the math?
How many employees per person?
Three.
There's about 1,500 J6ers, about 5,000, so you're looking at a little over 3 point something people per J6er?
And as far as violent J6ers, you're talking very, very low triple digits, if that.
Wow.
You think the government is looking out for you?
They can mobilize all of their resources when it comes to falsely prosecuting you.
Every person prosecuted had at least five, four, at least four employees working on their case.
Think about that.
By the way, you said this and it just stuck with me.
They agreed to turn over the files.
I'm sorry, the President of the United States.
You don't agree to do it.
You do it.
Yes.
It is your job.
You don't get to agree to turn over files.
Right.
And by the way, the FBI, you know, these agencies who love spying on you and love, by the way, operating in the dark and violating your fundamental privacy rights.
You know, actual rights.
your right as a citizen, a law-abiding citizen to privacy, they're actually now suing to prevent the information from being released, and they are whining about how their privacy rights are now being infringed upon.
Here's Andrew McCabe.
Professional pussy whining about it on CNN. Thousands of agents who did nothing other than respond to the orders of their supervisors and of people at headquarters who likely sent them leads to the field offices where they work to conduct some investigative activity and maybe even execute a lawful search warrant or arrest warrant signed by a federal judge.
So the idea that these people are essentially being virtually rounded up now, submitted, being demanded to fill out what I'm told is a 12 question survey, which is mostly yes or no answers, identify themselves as people who are, who may be targeted for identify themselves as people who are, who may be targeted for some sort of retribution or It's absolutely disgraceful.
By the way!
I answered more questions on the warranty quality survey on my latest Ryobi power washer with the warranty card.
Yeah.
Twelve questions.
You could do that on a smoke break.
Yes.
I was just doing my job!
So am I! That's the movie.
The salaries of 5,000 agents.
Yes.
Our tax dollars.
Yeah, not to mention the committees, the withholding of evidence, the false prosecution, and not to mention, hey, you know this?
Lives lost.
Lives lost.
People killed themselves because they thought their life was over.
You know why?
Because they were told that their life was over.
More people killed themselves than the number of questions that they have to answer.
That's good.
And they're complaining about it?
Twelve.
Twelve.
I just love that that would be the tipping point for someone that they feel like, I don't know if I can handle just one more.
Twelve?
A whole dozen?
What?
I mean, you could even do that in a large font and fit it on one page.
They probably got paid to answer those questions.
Yes, they were on the clock!
And they're yes or no.
You don't have to provide details.
The good news is, President Trump's AG pick, Pam Bondi, was just confirmed yesterday, 54 to 46. And by the way, Fetterman, who...
Not necessarily the friend that people make him out to be.
He was the only Democrat voting for this.
So in that case, credit where it's due.
Is crazy tends to lean towards us right now.
Yeah, except for voting against providing care to babies who've survived abortions.
He's wearing a suit to the inauguration.
Oh, come on.
Fetterman be as Fetterman does.
What's his excuse?
It's like the worst outfit gimmick of all time.
Tucker Carlson had the bow tie for about 15 years.
Eddie Murphy had the leather suit.
He thinks that basketball shorts from Dicks is like, this is going to be good for me.
He'd look better in a dress.
Yes, he would.
He's like, oh, I had a stroke.
I'm like, that affects your ability to put on pants or someone to put pants on for you?
I don't know how to use a belt!
Cables!
So many holes!
Stop!
Short-ass too many buttons!
That sounds like him.
It seems like something he would say.
So let me ask you this.
Is anyone surprised by this?
Is anyone surprised by this?
And let me ask you this.
Has any president kept their promises to a greater degree than nominee Trump and President Trump?
I can't think of any.
And believe me, it's not lost on me, egg on my face.
I was not a fan of Donald Trump in the 2016 primaries, and I was holding my nose in that election because I thought he was a lifelong Democrat.
I liked his first term on most things.
This is a whole new beast right now, this first term.
And I honestly, you know what, I think, and I always hate to think this way because you always want to prevent damage before it takes place.
I don't think this could have happened without the four years of Biden.
I think he needed, President Trump needed those four years to simmer in rage, and he was basically radicalized by the left.
As the left sees it, radicalized, you know, believing in your...
I think we had people.
Yeah.
Were.
I think so.
I think a lot of people needed to see, like, oh, crap, you know, like, this is serious.
Without Carter, you would have no Reagan.
Without Biden, you would have no President Trump.
But here's the thing.
With Biden, that also changes the legacy of Barack Obama.
I've noticed a lot of people who are younger going back and saying, you know, I got all swept up in the hope and change, but after Biden, it forced me to take a second look at the Obama legacy.
Did you know that he...
They'll go through the deportations, they'll go through the invasions of privacy, they'll go through the wars.
Did you know he did that?
Weaponize the IRS? Weaponizing the IRS was the first one to do it.
I think it's okay.
I don't think you need to feel guilty.
It doesn't mean that I ever wanted Biden to win, but I think if Donald Trump had been, well, if he had won that last election, I think he would have governed from the center, center-right, sometimes center-left, and kind of gradually...
Really just served out his last years.
Now this is a guy coming in with a purpose.
I don't think we've ever had it in our lifetime, and I don't know that we'll ever see it again.
This could be the most consequential presidential administration.
This is not hero worship.
I mean historically.
I mean as far as impact.
Could be the most consequential since our founding or since the Civil War.
I genuinely believe that may be the case.
Now, for some fun.
Jeez.
Everything's looking up.
Things are looking up.
Yeah.
President Trump, okay.
But there's always going to be evil in the world.
We know that.
Evil will always live amongst you.
However, every now and then, evil gets exposed.
And I don't think there's anything, to be clear, more evil than a child molester.
No.
Than a sexual predator.
Woodchipper, right?
Against children.
Yeah, I think.
I mean, pretty much.
Or, you know, like in Russia, they stab themselves 36 times in the back.
You know, a legitimate execution.
Yes.
Preferably on a very large table.
A judge bought that and said, here you go.
There you go.
They don't get everything wrong in Russia.
So, child molesters, okay.
Evil exists, but so does justice.
And right now, in a Mug Club exclusive, I will tell you this, seldom is justice so satisfying and funny.
This is an exclusive. All right.
There's nothing I can add to this.
This is, and we are proud to bring you, the very first catch by the Long Island Predator Poacher, and I hope the first of many to come.
They should almost all be done like this.
Don't drink from your wonderful girthy mug as you are watching this.
I urinated myself laughing.
This is the Long Island Predator Poacher, Douglas King Jr. here.
Abigail.
No, no, no.
We have your picture.
We have your penis picture.
I'm punk from Long Island.
This is just for safety purposes.
The first thing is, how old is Abigail?
She said she was 13.
Okay, appreciate it.
By the way, I'm sorry, I'm Douglas.
I'm here.
I want to knock some sense into this.
Yeah, no, it's good that you...
But I'm a father.
I'm like, you know what, let me just give in in a way so that she thinks I'm meeting her.
Yeah.
Oh, you are meeting her.
Yeah, I know.
You want to have car sex or get a room?
Yeah, she's...
Well, you said that, actually.
Yeah, I did.
You also sent her, it looks like a porn video.
Oh, yeah.
You also said things like, I'll eat your pussy, and like, sucking cock in 69, like, I would've tried to say, listen, you're doing the wrong thing, and go back to school, stay in school, stuff like that.
You asked her for nude pictures.
She's only a couple years older than your 10-year-old daughter.
Anything ever happened with your daughter or like anything with like you?
Like this, I haven't.
With you, like in her maybe?
Oh no.
Okay.
I appreciate your honesty, for real.
I get like other people would see this and think like you're attracted to minors.
No.
Yeah.
I'm not.
Everything's voluntary.
You can leave whenever you want.
Kind of seems like you wanted to...
Go through with it.
I didn't.
I really didn't, honestly.
That's why when I said the first week, I'm here.
That is true.
It's like, well, I see my penis.
It's not yours, but it's a penis.
I don't even want to deal with a minor.
No, of course, but you are here in an effort to deal with a minor.
Let me just leave.
Can we go back on the sidewalk?
Thank you.
This is Amir.
Amir, you're not going to ask any minors for nudes anymore if you're done with doing that?
You're not going to ask minors for nudes anymore.
You're not going to try to talk to them sexually and meet up with them for sex and all that stuff.
You're not going to send penis pictures anymore either?
Okay.
And happy ending.
Amir was arrested in Long Island.
Just so you know, all of the evidence was handed over digitally and with printouts.
And this is a man, Amir, who is a mechanic who also happens to be a content creator.
Yeah, he had a YouTube channel, I think.
I'm guessing it's going dark for a little while.
Maybe.
So, to watch the full catch, completely uncensored, follow this gentleman on X at PP Long Island.
PP Long Island.
I just...
It was...
I was gonna tell her to stay in school.
Stuff like that.
Nah, I wouldn't bullshit you.
Nah, I wouldn't bullshit you.
I was gonna tell her, you know, stay off drugs.
Here's my dick.
No, look at me.
I got short sweatshorts on.
I'm a good guy.
It's a penis.
I mean, it's not your penis, which, you know, means he's not.
Like, yeah, yeah, you know, it's not my penis.
Objects in here may be smaller than they appear.
You know, it's not actual size.
It's more of a, like, effigy.
Yeah.
Like, it's like volunteers for my dick is tribute.
I was just showing one of the dangers of a penis.
That's right.
They're so dangerous.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, hey, you see one of these?
Don't touch that.
Stay away.
Don't touch that.
Don't touch that!
Let me meet up with you.
We'll talk about it.
He goes, you are here.
Yeah.
I just got a Euro across the street.
It's a good place.
Maybe we'll have a Euro.
We'll talk.
Maybe we'll play Identify the Penis.
Maybe put a little pocket pool.
Yeah.
You know, stay in school.
I'm glad he stayed and got arrested, but I was like, huh.
This guy's an idiot.
He could have left it.
He tried to leave, and he's like, God, just maybe we'll walk back over here, and I'll talk more about how you tried to meet up to have sex with a minor on camera.
Yeah.
I would go well for you.
I would feel bad for him if he wasn't the worst among us.
Yes, I know.
I don't feel bad at all.
Oh, no.
It's because it is so embarrassing.
It's like embarrassment by proxy.
The only person I feel bad for is his actual daughter.
Yes.
Yeah.
What a piece of crap.
I mean, it's just when you're caught dead to rights, like, just...
Just fess up and just hold out your hands for the cuffs and go.
Well, it's like, it's one of those things where I think in the moment you think, well, shit.
Shit, if I run away, they're gonna know I'm guilty.
Right, plus that guy can't run.
Yeah, plus he has my penis.
He has a picture of my penis on those papers.
Maybe if I grab those papers, the records that they have from the phones won't exist.
I just figure if he's like, never seen that before in my life.
Just a picture of him in the mirror.
Oh, that penis!
Yeah, that's mine!
The one attached to me.
That's my other thumb.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought you meant...
Another penis.
No, this penis I was holding for a friend.
Yeah, that's right.
Hey, what's your student loan situation like?
You staying in school?
Because that's my thing.
I wanted to get out here and warn you because these parents aren't paying attention to their kids.
Where's their parents?
I'm a parent.
I'm a fucking kid.
I'm concerned.
I came here, there's no crossing guard.
I mean, I was amazed at how nobody stopped me when I took out my penis.
So really, it's...
It's the fault of society.
What's in the bag there?
Lubricant.
Stick of butter.
Lipstick.
Quiznos.
All right.
Literature on how good school is for you.
By the way, Nick DiPaolo is one of the funniest bits ever on To Catch a Predator.
I think you can listen to it on Spotify, wherever you get podcasts.
He's one of the funniest men alive.
That's one of his funniest bits.
The point is, there are a lot of creeps out there.
And there's no better reason to get a stop box to make sure your firearm is nearby but safely secured.
Almost there, Finnegan.
This is so dumb.
What's the problem?
It's just a plastic box.
No, that's actually a stop box.
Drop box?
Stop box.
Hot box?
Stop box.
Botox.
Stop box.
Small pox?
Stop box.
Chop box.
Stop box.
Would you shut up?
I'm trying to focus.
Should we help him?
No, actually, he's our control study.
He's the perfect person to see how child-resistant the stop box is.
Oh, okay, so it's like super hard to get into.
Not if you're a responsible adult and it's your own box.
Finnegan, give it here.
See?
Stop box.
It's American-made, prevents unintended access to your firearms, but it's mechanical.
It doesn't use batteries, so you don't have to do a biometric safe or combo at four in the morning with gang rapists standing at the end of your master bedroom.
Why am I keep this with me?
Hey, Finnegan.
I think you can open this bottle of the meds for me.
Yeah, I'll sip beers on the right track.
Stopboxusa.com slash Crowder.
I do, by the way, I love this.
I actually did, true story, have, um, I can't see it with the light.
There you go.
Push it down, boom.
I had one of those biometric safes, and there was someone that was actually rattling doors when I was in a townhouse.
It did not work at 3 in the morning.
I love the beep.
I'm like, fudge!
So I got one of these before they became a sponsor, and it's really easy to do.
You can set your own combination.
It's mechanical, no batteries.
It's a great way to prevent unintended access.
Lightweight.
Go to stopboxusa.com slash Crowder.
And right now, there's actually a buy one, get one free.
Wow.
10% off.
Buy one, get one, and 10% off?
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
Okay, don't oversell it.
No, I just read it.
I was just kind of surprised.
It's quite useful, and I don't trust the biometric safes.
No.
You can travel with that easily, too.
I went to your house.
It was out of battery.
I know.
It plugged in and opened.
You're like, well, I have to leave it open.
Yeah, I have to leave it open, so I have to put it up on a shelf and a whole thing, and then I wrap it in saran wrap, and then I just can't access it.
Well, you get the wrong biometric.
Biometric safe.
You've got to get the one that you have to spit into.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
It also talks dirty to me.
Now, jeez.
Spit in my...
Remember when they wanted to have biometric guns?
Yeah.
That should be where I could only...
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That works great with sweaty palms, blood, and an adrenaline dump.
Yeah, in the middle of the night.
Oh, cool.
Now someone's got to cut off my thumb and steal my gun.
Yes, exactly.
Sick.
He just created a new crime market.
Okay.
Art of the deal.
I'm going to tell you this.
I have mixed thoughts.
And I want to be clear about that.
I want to be clear with you when I don't have a finalized opinion.
Meaning there could be some data presented that may sway me, but I'll give you my thoughts.
And hopefully you guys can kind of have a conversation here in the comments section.
By the way, best way is to download the Rumble app.
Like we told you, download the app.
And right there, you'll get notifications whenever we're live.
Rumble owns live.
And of course, you get to keep watching.
If you're a Rumble premium member, $99 a year.
You can get it for $9.99 a month.
And a wonderful mug as you join the club.
But download the app.
That's the best way.
So, I want to see some conversation about this because this is one that it seems like left, right, across the board, people just disagree.
So, the best part, though, before we get to the Gaza potential deal...
In Donald Trump's, the President's Middle East Policy Day, let's call it, was this exchange with a reporter.
Go ahead.
I have a little hard time understanding.
Thank you.
Where are you from?
Actually, it's a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent.
The only problem is I can't understand the word you're saying.
But I just say this.
Good luck.
Live in peace.
Go ahead, please.
That's awesome.
I love how we added live in peace.
Peace.
Peace be with you.
And you know what?
We're in the era where no one's going to say, that's racist.
I didn't understand her either.
Okay?
That's what happens.
Just like they probably don't understand half of my French-Canadian family.
It's fine!
Alright?
She makes no sense.
But, Tuesday, back to the policy, Donald Trump met with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu, and he made this pretty wild statement regarding Gaza.
The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative.
It's right now a demolition site.
This is just a demolition site.
Virtually every building is down.
They're living under fallen concrete that's very dangerous and very precarious.
They instead can occupy all of...
A beautiful area with homes and safety and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back and do it again.
The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too.
We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.
Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings.
Level it out.
Create an economic development that will supply.
Unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.
It's not that big.
Do a real job.
Do something different.
So, by the way, did you see Netanyahu's posture change?
I would be willing to bet a lot of money that that was the first time Netanyahu turned to the ground.
You're going to do what?
It's kind of, you know, it's sort of okay.
We're going there.
Yes, yes, yes.
What, what, what, what?
And this, of course, like I said, all corners of the internet are up in arms here.
Different opinions, people not...
And Gerald and I had the exact same sort of initial reaction.
We compared notes today where I first heard this.
I said, that's a terrible idea.
I don't...
And then I thought...
Okay, I could see the reasoning.
I still lean toward probably not the best idea.
And so I think it would be helpful right now.
Let's do this with you.
A pros and cons list on the occupation of Gaza.
You know what, Josh?
Will you do the honors here?
You have better handwriting than all of us.
And Gerald, I think we can kind of talk through this.
And of course those in chat will talk through it as well.
Let's start with the cons.
So the very first con, it's Gaza.
Obviously.
I think.
That's a difficult one.
You can't overcome that one.
Location, location, location.
It matters.
Second con, it's going to anger probably most of the Middle East and could lead us into a global conflict.
It's never going to be a really safe place.
I think a third con that would require a bunch of U.S. troops, resources, that's not necessarily a good one.
Yeah.
Boo!
You suck!
No, I don't like deploying U.S. troops to a place like that.
And that's really, I don't think there's any other way to make that happen.
Right.
And I would say probably the final con is U.S. occupation.
It's never actually worked in the Middle East.
That's a con.
It's been tried.
Boo!
You suck!
There you go.
Not the best idea.
Let's go through the...
Possible pros, though.
And that was my first thing.
All con.
Con?
And then I thought, well, there could be some pros.
I mean, the first pro is it could be argued to provide a legitimate foothold for the United States in that region, which is kind of important.
It's nice to be closer to home whenever things go down.
And they tend to happen.
Yes, they do.
That's a pro.
Another pro.
You know, it would also be next to kind of our only ally in that.
And we wouldn't fire rockets at them.
That's a pro for Israel.
They would love that.
I think Israel might be more into this than most Americans, to be clear.
That's true.
And that's, no, it's not talking about the Jews running the media.
I'm just saying, look, we have to make this decision based on what's right for the United States, not necessarily for Israel.
I think a pro, you could argue.
Provide more stability for the immediate area, don't you think?
I think that's absolutely true.
Okay.
Anything else?
I haven't gotten it right at all.
Yeah.
Anything else?
I think it'd be a better life for the people in the economy of Gaza.
Potentially a better economy.
Look at the last decades.
Yeah.
Of what we've been doing here, it's not working.
Yeah, less bombs and tunnels, more like sandals resorts.
Or schools.
Yes.
Or playgrounds, perhaps.
Or club meds.
Playgrounds that are not used to fire mortars.
Yes, exactly.
I just need to clarify.
Or schools.
And, you know, the pro, I mean, the Jews don't seem to hate the idea.
So for them, that's a pro.
Jews like.
You can write that down as a pro.
Jews likey.
Jew likey.
Happy Jews.
Happy Jews, happy shoes.
It looks like we're five to four right now.
Yeah, but the cons are really big cons.
I mean, it's Gaza, that's like five cons.
Double, double cons.
I mean, if it's like the art of the deal kind of thing, great.
If it's like an actual plan to go in there, I'm like, ooh, this is going to be really dicey, and I'm not sure.
Yeah, I'm not for colonizing.
It could upset the rest of the world, not just...
Yeah, not just the Middle East.
It could upset, you know, like the Swedes.
They could get pissed.
Yeah, they could.
And then IKEA doesn't ship any goods to the US anymore.
I'm sure there are a few German stragglers who wouldn't be thrilled about it.
Yeah.
I'm keeping my eye on them.
Argentinians.
Argentinians, absolutely.
That's true.
Argentinians that might have a problem with it.
Perhaps some sympathizers in the Vatican.
Do you rate the smell?
The smell, yeah.
Yeah, the smell.
Wait, what?
Yeah, it's not great.
What if...
Okay, if it's the art of the deal where they're proposing maybe the United States going in just to kind of clean house and...
Give it to Israel.
That's maybe a potential middle ground?
What's your final opinion, Gerald?
Look, I commented on this.
They've never gotten it right.
The world is basically approaching this problem from the same direction they've always approached it from.
It's some kind of two-state solution that's never ever going to work because the other state wants to destroy Israel.
And it's always going to want to destroy Israel.
This place has been a hellhole.
And it's...
Primarily, in my opinion, you can argue with me on this if you want, because the people elected Hamas.
You can say it wasn't a legitimate election, fine, but it seems like for all intents and purposes, they elected Hamas.
Hamas is a terrorist organization that doesn't care about them.
It cares about destroying Israel.
Period, period, period.
Doesn't matter what Israel does.
Having the world on notice that the status quo is no longer acceptable, I think is fantastic.
Thinking about this from a different perspective, absolutely.
And by the way, I'm sorry, I don't care whose ancestral homeland it is.
It's hell.
Go find somewhere else to build a community.
If you're in Palestine, a person right now, a Palestinian living in Gaza, go somewhere else.
This is no way to make a life.
You're telling me that some hill over here because people 100 years ago, 500 years ago, lived there that are your relatives and that's why you want to stay there?
No, I'm sorry.
This is never going to work.
And if you really do care about your family and you care about having peace and tranquility, something different needs to happen.
Well, certainly something different in not simply using it for destruction.
That is the problem with Hamas.
And if that was the case, then it would be fine.
Stay there, everything's great.
But that's never been the case.
I don't know the solution on this, to be honest.
I'd love to hear your comments.
And I think, here's the thing, I think both positions are tenable.
Yeah.
I got another con.
The what?
I got another con.
It's expensive.
It is expensive.
A lot of our money.
I don't want to send my money.
No, that's resources in there.
What if there's like a way to make it back?
Yeah, booty.
Booty?
What if we do a little plundering?
A little plundering?
I don't think America should go in anywhere unless we have a little plundering.
A little Hamas tunnel plundering?
A little plundering.
Is there oil in Gaza?
I don't think there's a whole lot of oil, but you know, there's probably like some shrapnel.
Or make Israel pay for it.
Or make Israel pay for it.
We've given them enough money, they should start sending some back to us.
Like Mexico with the wall.
I lean toward no.
But if there's some really convincing data, economic data, that it could be a net gain and would check all the boxes, I'd be open to hearing it.
But my instinct is no.
My instinct is also no.
But we'll see with some of the details.
You know who is probably willing to come to the table now?
Literally everyone.
What?
Fine, fine, fine.
I'm sure Egypt isn't keen to the idea of us being next door.
But right now, I bet you Denmark is like, Okay, we weren't serious about Kremlin.
We get it!
We don't need a McDonald's going up in our capital.
Thank you, Josh.
Appreciate it.
The handwriting, not that great.
Mine is worse.
No, it's hard to do leaning over and quickly.
Yes, it is.
Smiley face.
I do appreciate it.
What the heck was the any hole?
Any hole will do.
It's a hell hole, but hey, any hole will do.
That's true.
I mean, I think I nailed it.
A lot of holes.
That's Shia LaBeouf.
Now, for context as to what's gone on over there the last couple years, you all know that I have been remarkably consistent as it relates to wars, being supportive of legitimate wars that are obviously...
Where the American interest is at stake and, of course, opposing wars that don't actually involve.
No, no, no, no, no.
All the way back to 2009. I don't think that that's true, Stephen.
What do you mean, Gerald?
We have to do this again?
Tim, roll it.
No.
And look, let's just call it what it is.
It's a war for oil.
Yes.
It's a war for oil.
That's what it is.
It's about this war on terror.
It's about oil so Dick Cheney can give money to his rich friends.
And you know what?
Osama bin Laden wasn't even there.
He wasn't even there.
He had nothing to do with Saddam Hussein.
If we moved to green energy, God forbid, solar, wind.
There you go.
We wouldn't even need to be killing people.
Killing innocent brown people.
Yes.
Because of Islamophobia, but really in search of more oil.
It's a religion of peace, for crying out loud.
Yeah.
George W. Bush, Skull and Bones.
Well, that's not fair.
Neocons, it was a different political paradigm.
Your opinions on paper, dude.
Matters.
Hey, this just came in from Mission Control, I guess.
Chuck Schumer, supercut to MC Baba.
It was great, but it wasn't enough.
It's a super quick cut.
Always leaving them wanting more, says MC Baba.
Of course, I'm translating from...
I understood the intent.
What are you, Helen Keller's interpreter?
Helen Keller's a myth.
I know, that's what I mean.
Actually, I think we have a three and three on Helen Keller.
But let's move from Gaza to something that we can actually control here in the United States.
And I think that should primarily be the focus of this administration, improving lives for Americans in ways that are rightfully under the purview of the American federal government.
And a big part of that is downsizing.
So, yes, I have no problem with this.
I have advocated for it for a long time.
Ronald Reagan campaigned on this, and then the Department of Education only grew.
I will tell you this.
I believe it is completely irrational.
In a logically untenable situation to look at our Department of Education and to advocate more resources being put into it.
If you are results-oriented in any way, if people say you have to look at the empirical, you have to look at the data, there is no case that can be legitimately made to argue for the Department of Education as it currently exists.
And yesterday, President Trump pledged to work with Congress and teachers' unions To try and close the Department of Education.
And on the Education Department, why nominate Linda McMahon to be the Education Department Secretary if you're going to get rid of the Education Department?
Because I told Linda, Linda, I hope you do a great job and put yourself out of a job.
I want her to put herself out of a job.
Education Department.
So we're ranked number 40 out of 40 schools, right?
We're ranked number one in cost per pupil.
So we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world.
And we're ranked at the bottom of the list.
We're ranked very badly.
And what I want to do is let the states run schools.
I believe strongly in school choice.
But in addition to that, I want the states to run schools.
And I want Lyndon to put herself out of a job.
I think I'd work with Congress.
I think we'd get, look, we'd have to work with the teachers' union because the teachers' union is the only one that's opposed to it.
Nobody else would want to hold him back.
Look, we have to tell the teachers union, we're rated last in the world.
Everything he has just said is correct.
And this is the perfect time to actually introduce YouTube.
Many of you have subscribed and followed it.
You can listen to it wherever audio podcasts are available.
The show that we have that accompanies this, three and three.
And the first one we ever did was on...
The Department of Education.
It's three key facts in three minutes or less.
Anywhere podcasts are available, you can go to threekeyfacts.com so that you can peruse all of the references.
It's a place to start on some key issues.
So I'm just going to, I guess, in video form, present that, and then we'll expound upon it because we have a longer show here.
So key fact number one is the create...
The creation of the Department of Education.
So the Federal Department of Education, as we know it today, was created in 1979 under Jimmy Carter, significantly increased the federal government's role in funding public education.
So prior to the Federal Department of Education, the federal government largely played an advisory role, while the funding for public education, it came almost entirely from state and local governments.
Key fact number two.
The cost of the Department of Education is astronomical.
In total, the Federal Department of Education has spent over $2 trillion since its inception, not accounting for inflation.
Also, key fact there, Noodles, you pointed this out.
They also probably need to lose their funding for spelling education wrong.
On their own website.
We didn't even...
So, as a matter of fact, just so you know, today, because you'll see these stickers out there when, you know, school, when the Air Force has to host bake sales for their bombers and schools get the funding, okay, over $2 trillion.
Today, the Department of Education's discretionary budget is the third largest of the federal government.
The only ones that are larger, Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services.
Key fact number three.
You have the founding, you have the amount of money, which is insane, that brings us to the results.
Even after the trillions of dollars in federal funding, the results, the standardized results of students have remained almost entirely unchanged since 1979 when the department was founded.
And even worse, there's new data emerging that today shows a negative trend with standardized math scores at their lowest since 1990, reading scores at their lowest since 2004. That's three and three, three key facts in three minutes or less.
And you can go and download those.
There's the party switch myth, three minutes, abortion, taxes, immigration, the assassination attempt on President Trump, the gender wage gap.
You can go and download those wherever audio podcasts exist.
So let's expound upon that now.
The founding.
You cannot argue $2 trillion and worse results and say, Put more money into it.
And not adjusted for inflation.
That's not adjusted for inflation.
We'll go through these again and kind of add some context.
So, in 1973, the Supreme Court did affirm that education is a state's right.
San Antonio ISD versus Rodriguez.
Supreme Court wrote, Though education is one of the most important services performed by the state, it is not within the limited category of rights recognized by this court as guaranteed by the federal constitution.
And by the way, each and every one of the 50 state constitutions establish some kind of public education system.
So again, before the trillions of dollars, your parents still had access to public school, and the results were better.
We've spent more.
Results are worse.
That's why my dad thinks he's smarter than me.
Yes, because he most likely is, if you compare that generation on average.
They may not be as informed on modern issues like technology, right?
Things change, but as far as baseline education, yes, they were.
They received a well-balanced education.
Let's get into the cost and the waste.
So from 1980 to 2021, it's about $2 trillion.
And you wonder, okay, where is this money going?
Like in 2019, The federal government wasted billions of dollars on grant programs.
Billions of dollars.
To give you an idea, 2024, the Department of Education received $268 billion in federal funding.
That's 4% of all federal funding.
Student loans, to give you an idea, over the last 25 years, they went from generating...
$114 billion in income to the government to costing the government $197 billion.
Well, that just keeps going up when they try to forgive student debt.
Exactly.
Yes.
There's been money that's been wasted.
Things like DEI, administration.
You look at the students, the teacher populations.
You look at the student-to-teacher ratios.
These aren't good, but if you look at other private schools, for example, in New York, Catholic schools, they have a larger student-per-teacher ratio, more students-per-teacher, and they perform better.
The school district administrations in general, they grew about 87%.
Even though there's only 9% student growth.
Yes, 9% student growth, but way larger administrative growth in the school library porn sections grew by 69%.
79% of school districts with more than 100,000 students have a chief diversity officer.
The other 21% are in black neighborhoods.
To be clear.
Now, this is where you're looking at the fraud because you can't really put a number on the DEI propaganda and social engineering until you do some digging, then you can put a number on it.
And you can certainly look at the system and say, well, this system is broken.
And part of the foundation right now of this system is we've gone away from merit-based.
We've gone to DEI. We've gone to identity politics.
Any way that you slice it, and this is where you can have Mark Cuban come on and say, actually, diversity makes us better.
Okay.
Two trillion dollars, not adjusted for inflation, worse results.
Let me ask you this.
What does it take?
What does it take?
That's how you know that leftism, progressivism, is a religion.
It's dogmatic.
Where when faced with irrefutable evidence, this is one of those subjects, there is no argument to be made that the Department of Education has improved education at all.
They still say, more money please, more money please.
Let's go to the performance, by the way, to get a little more granular.
Since the founding of the DOE, standardized test scores, they haven't gotten better, like I told you.
Math, lowest since 1990. Reading is the lowest since 2004. And so, wait, if the DOE is the third largest budget, and we spent two trillion math tests, it sucks.
Yeah, that's the right conclusion.
Lowest scores, some cases, 35 years.
Let me give you a specific example.
So that's the empirical.
Let me give you one example.
2021, Illinois received $7 billion in federal funds for schools.
This fee, I think, dispersed over three years.
You guys have the references there.
In 2023, Illinois had zero students proficient in reading in 32 schools.
Zero students.
Proficient in math in 67 schools.
Jeez.
$7 billion two years later, zero, even passable in basic reading and math in dozens of schools.
I know you're saying that's an outlier.
Okay, again, the meta-analysis looking at, from a bird's eye view, $2 trillion?
It's bad across the board.
Could have used that money to cheat instead.
Yes, exactly.
You know, like they do in India, where they have people come in, take their tests and degree mills so they can get an H-1B. 2023, Maryland received $350 million from the Department of Education.
Results?
Zero.
Students in 40% of Baltimore high schools passed the Maryland State math exam.
What?
In 40% of all high schools in Baltimore.
There was not one high school student who passed the basic math exam.
Wow.
Dang.
And it starts at the top.
And then they get a diploma?
Depends.
They just hang out for a while, do a couple of pictures.
Depends on the color of the skin, on the gender.
And it starts at the top.
And, you know, I would say the top is pretty bad considering the Department of Education cannot even spell the word education!
Yeah, I jumped the gun.
You can admonish me.
Educaton!
You guys can comment.
Anyone out there go to public schools?
I went to public schools in Canada.
They were much better than here.
I didn't realize that in the United States, you had to go to one public school because we were allowed to go to any school if we were able to get on a bus or our parents would drive us.
The schools were better.
The United States, we should be the best at everything.
We have the resources to.
We have the ingenuity to.
We have the people here who can make it better.
They're just not allowed to.
If anyone can make the case as to why American students, why the United States is better off with the current Department of Education as it exists, please reach out.
Because I have never heard it.
Not anything even remotely convincing.
Everybody out there freaking out about this.
This was a state issue for a very long time.
It needs to go back to being a state issue.
For only because we understand...
Bureaucracy, it's going to slow things down, it's going to cost money, and it's also a one-size-fits-all solution.
And that's not going to work in these communities in different states across the country.
There are different needs in different districts, and a state can address that a lot better than a federal program.
By the way, certain states kind of lead the way in this anyway, Texas being one of those states.
Second thing is, you should be able to spend your dollars, your tax dollars in Texas through property taxes that go to funding the schools, you should be able to spend those dollars as a student wherever you want to go.
And by the way, Don't tell me that's just going to benefit the white communities and people that have privilege.
No, it's going to benefit people that are stuck at one of those 32 high schools in Illinois that can't pass the reading test or the 67 that can't pass the math test.
Or maybe it's the 40% of people in Baltimore that can't pass the state proficiency test in math.
You can get out of those places, not just be, well, you live here, so you've got to go to that school.
You're screwed, I'm sorry.
Just look at it economically.
If you're in a poor neighborhood, you've got a poor school.
A lot of places, property taxes or taxes are levied for their school system, so if you can have the choice to take the same amount of money and go to a different school, wouldn't that be better for a minority?
Of course.
Yeah, you would think so.
I mean, I'm just looking at it economically, but that's how it ends up being usually.
It also makes it really clear to me, you know, you've seen it with the left in engineering as far as gender relationships and trying to say that men and women are the same and interchangeable.
This really makes sense when you think about the fact that our government, our media, our entertainment industry has constantly vilified those in business.
The business owner...
The wealthy person is the bad guy, right?
Every single time they show up in a film, it's the dad who's a dick who only cares about money.
You know why?
They are deathly afraid of being the only entity of this size, being the federal government, of being treated exactly like a business.
And that is precisely what we need anywhere else in a business.
If you walk in, Gerald, CEO, says, hey, we really need increased funding in, I don't know.
Advertising.
Whatever it is.
Increased funding for...
I go, okay.
What did we spend last year?
We spent a million dollars.
Okay.
What do we have to show for it?
Well, we have this amount of revenue.
1.2.
Okay, so it's a net positive.
And can you tell me how this will benefit us in the future?
Whatever it is.
What is this employee provided?
Okay.
What's the cost?
What's the cost analysis here?
Or if you came to me, though, and said, hey...
We need more money for new equipment.
I said, well, how much have we spent?
And you said, two trillion dollars.
And I said, what do we have to show for it?
You said, well, remember how we used to have HD? We don't have that anymore.
Yeah, remember how we used to be able to do that?
We don't have that anymore.
Yeah, we actually have fewer viewers, fewer subscribers, less ad revenue, and lower quality video.
I would say, well, maybe it's time to make a change.
The only place that doesn't exist.
And they are deathly afraid of any type of change.
Is in the federal government.
Nowhere else could this exist in nature.
It is a hemorrhaging of resources.
And the worst part is, we're hemorrhaging the resources, the left wants you to turn a blind eye, and it's harming kids.
It's harming our children.
We live in an era where information and education has never been more accessible, regardless of social status, wealth.
And people are dumber.
Just like we've never had more access to healthy food and information regarding healthy habits, exercise, eating, sleeping, and we're fatter with a lower life expectancy.
How do we get here?
And at what point do we say, oh, okay, $2 trillion not adjusted for inflation.
It's not working.
Hey, our approach to health is not working.
The only way you can make the case for the current Democrat Party and progressivism is if you believe that change is evil and that more money solves the problem.
You have to start with that as the premise for how you approach any problem.
No change.
We can't do that.
That's evil.
And more money will always solve the problem.
We've seen the opposite in reality.
I don't know what it takes.
And I think you're going to see the pendulum swing more in the direction of the right, because people know that our educational system is broken.
People know that our healthcare system is broken.
People have bitched for a very long time, said, hey, no one does anything about it.
Well, guess what?
Now we are.
And the good news is, it really can't get all that much worse.
Two trillion dollars and worse results.
Are you clear?
Nothing else matters.
That's it?
It's done.
You can say whatever you want.
You can argue $2 trillion and we're shittier.
You get nothing.
By the way, join Rumble Premium.
We're going to continue talking about this and more.
I don't know that there's much more to say.
None of this happens without you, including, by the way, the 3 in 3 show that you can listen to on audio.
We always want to provide you with different rungs in the ladder, a place to start.
And I know, it's like drinking from a fire hose.
Sometimes there's so much information.
When there's so much, sometimes there's no information out there.
We did have one thing we wanted to maybe take a look at.
The new Jurassic Park trailer just dropped?
No!
No, I think we should, because it's Jurassic World.
Rebirth.
We love Jurassic Park.
The original Jurassic Park.
I like the Jurassic Worlds.
The first world was okay.
The one where they tried to save the dinosaurs that ended up eating everybody, that's not okay.
Just gas them and let it be over with.
But there apparently is a need for a rebirth.
The Jurassic Worlds were so bad, they are an affront to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Wow.
Hey, now, Chris Pratt's a Christian.
He is.
He is an outspoken Christian.
Look, look, he can atone.
Are you going to tell him for his sins?
He will.
You got to see it.
It just dropped.
We're going to watch it now?
Tim, let's play it.
Please don't.
Dr. Henry Loomis, this is Zora Bennett, our mission specialist.
