I'm tired.
From all the winning.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't have another bite of winning.
Maybe we can wrap up some winning and save it for later.
I'm kidding.
You never get tired of winning.
Doggy bag of winning?
We've had so much winning, I have gout.
Now.
Could be the capers as well.
I think maybe.
And liver.
Let's just fill you on the rundown here today.
Donald Trump, President Trump, he detransitioned Title IX. We'll get into that executive order, rightfully so.
Yesterday we covered what was happening with USAID, USAID, however you want to pronounce it.
The propaganda funding, there's some misinformation out there.
We want to make sure that we're clear about that because the truth is more effective than the lie and there's misinformation on both the left and the right.
But we're also seeing more propaganda funding than we initially thought, and now we're wondering if we need to look into late-night comedy propaganda, because we have a supercut for you where jokes, premises, sources, references are verbatim the same across four late-night programs.
And you know what?
It's very effective.
For a period of time in this country, more people got their news from Jon Stewart.
Remember?
Early on, there was a big study, and everyone was...
Pretty alarmed about that back in the day than they did from real news, and here we are today.
So, look, let me ask you this.
What source of news do you trust the most out there?
I would say this.
You shouldn't trust anybody, but if they don't provide you with their references, right away you should start asking questions.
And we're going to provide a lot of references today discussing Title IX and Chicks with Dicks, so I know you have to hit that.
So probably already you have seen, if you're watching on YouTube, this.
Head on over to Rumble.
It's a live show weekdays, 10 a.m.
Eastern, including Friday.
If you're Rumble Premium, Captain Morgan, CEO, hope you're well.
Josh Feierstein will be Spokane Comedy Club bound.
Yeah, tomorrow.
We're on Saturday.
Best comedy club of one of them in the country.
They have a bathroom in the green room now.
Yes, it's very nice.
I'm inviting people in.
Yes, I'm a big fan.
We could share a plate of spaghetti.
A man tried to have an entire conversation pitching a dog toy while I was relieving myself.
Was it indestructible?
It was indestructible.
Oh, boy.
And by that, I mean it lasted four seconds.
I think he thought I had one in with me.
Now, we're going to get to more of this later.
Miniature?
USAID funding and late night.
But just in case you were wondering, hey, here's the scope of government.
What is the legitimate role of government?
This is a conversation that we have, and I understand that there is some wiggle room.
I don't know that the case can be made, however, that any funding should go over to the New York Times, though it has.
And if you want to know...
How they received or what they did with the $371,000 in your tax-paying hard-earned money?
Well, it's spent on stuff like this.
Your challenge today is to find an ultra-processed food that you enjoy, like a bag of Cheetos, compare it with its whole food equivalent, and really pay attention to what the sensory experience of ingesting that food is like.
So we're going to smell the Cheeto.
Okay.
Do you have any words for what you're sensing right now?
There's sort of a corn chip scent.
I also get kind of like a fryer oil flavor.
The fat lady pretending like she's never had Cheetos before?
You're 7% Cheeto.
Cheetos does have cheddar cheese on the ingredients list.
Step two is taste.
So I think we should start with the Cheeto.
Bet you wish it was...
If I was home alone, I would do a Cheeto shot.
Sweetheart, you are always home alone.
No.
I'm not getting cheese, though, are you?
I'm getting cheese, but kind of in the most basic outlines.
So there's the saltiness, there's the kind of savory umami, and then I'm getting that kind of...
But enough about your snatches.
But it is not very complicated.
I don't want to sound like this when I taste wine.
To actually get a sense of the flavor, we're having to eat a lot of these.
Then when you go back to the Cheetos, you are clearly foreign to eating a lot of them.
Cheese.
Yes, salty cheese.
I like that, a yell of cheese.
Yes, it's like it's shouting cheese at you, but very briefly.
No, that's when you lift your arm.
Her hand was stained with Cheetos.
Yes.
It was like permanently...
I need more to taste it.
Our journalism is stained with the blood of Cheetos.
How many angry lesbians, closeted lesbians, can you fit in a room and how much does it cost?
Well, it turns out about $371,000.
Here's the real fact sheet.
He could have just given them Cheetos.
Yeah, he could have just thrown the Cheetos on the floor like, Hey!
Hey!
Leave it down!
Eat it!
They initially were just going to give them cheese and then no one replied.
Okay, we'll also give you Cheetos.
Yeah, well, that one definitely did reply, but they couldn't find a foil.
They had to scissor it.
Like, we know that you're going to reply with anything food-related, but we need to include other team members.
So this is the New York Times, right?
The most legitimate publication.
All the news that's fit to print.
Of course, $371,000 didn't go just to that.
But if it's a penny of the $371,000 in federal funding, it's a penny too much.
Comment below if you think...
We're so beyond...
We thought the problem at one point was NPR and PBS. One Cheeto.
I know that the YouTube...
Yeah, well, don't...
Not if it's near her!
No, that's true.
For crying out loud.
It's the Cheeto Flores consent policy.
She's separating them from their family.
All right.
That's a deep cut.
Now...
It was.
Yesterday, and this is where we're getting to, Title IX, and this is one of those situations that, in the future, historians will look back and say, what?
Because no one will understand why this was necessary.
So yesterday, on National Girls and Women's Sports Day, President Trump signed the titled Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports Executive Order.
Under the Trump administration, we will defend the proud tradition of female athletes and we will not allow men.
To beat up, injure, and cheat our women and our girls.
From now on, women's sports will be only for women.
Good!
I want to make this a really good signature.
You know, this is a big one, right?
What a misogynist.
Yes!
Watch this, watch this.
Oh, I think we have a ten.
We have a 10.
God bless you, Mr. President.
And not one of those little girls was sniffed or fondled.
Hey!
New day!
Baby steps.
In the White House.
An executive order, by the way, that we never thought we'd ever actually have to have.
We never thought we'd ever, yeah.
Seriously, what?
I mean, historians will look back and go, yeah, this executive order, and a student will say, wait, what was that?
There had to be an executive order to keep men out of women's sports, and this was signed on International Women's Sports Day?
That happened.
This isn't...
You're not pulling my leg?
Yeah.
There was a period of about five to eight years where there were 57 genders, and then we went back to two.
That's better.
I've been talking about this for quite a while.
And yeah, Title IX has all kinds of problems.
But let me fill you in on what initially was meant to be, how the left has eroded women's rights, and what we're seeing now.
Because this is a fundamental shift, and this is what the left sees as a violation of human rights.
I don't think they have a grasp at all on what human rights are.
So, Title IX. It was designed to prevent sex-based discrimination in education, and specifically activities that would be receiving federal funding.
So areas like athletics, recruitment, admissions, and there was kind of a broad umbrella, which we'll get to, got broadened as it related to sexual harassment.
It was for women.
It was designed for women.
You can look at RBG, watch that documentary.
It was very important to the women's movement.
And then it became about intersectionality, and obfuscation was always the goal of the left.
On this, which is why right now they're freaking out.
Trump just signed another executive order attacking trans people of all ages in sports.
So bans aren't about transgender participation.
This isn't about Saving women's sports or protecting girls and women in sports.
This is part of a whole...
Literally about protecting women in sports.
...to essentially erase transgender Americans from American life.
The executive order titled Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports deliberately misgenders trans women through the language.
The new president of the United States articulate complete utter nonsense and doing complete harm.
Can I just...
Let's just take this quite literally, okay?
As though we are a logically sound six-year-old.
How does that harm a single woman?
Not allowing biological males in women's sports.
Can anyone give me the next...
I've done...
I don't know how half a dozen changed my mind on this.
We're going to have to face the adversity of losing.
Yes.
I've not gotten one legitimate case.
Not one.
Not one legitimate argument that even approaches something that resembles convincing?
This is about erasing transgender people?
No, they can compete in men's sports, can't they?
They can compete in any sports.
They can compete in any sports with their biological sex.
Go for it.
How are we erasing any...
Genuine question to you.
What does that mean, erasing them?
We're revoking their citizenship?
We're deporting them for being trans?
They're not allowed to be in public spaces, period?
They're not allowed to exist?
We're simply talking, it's very comparable to white classes, and entirely as appropriate.
So one person who is not having any of this as it relates to the games, and this is where it came to a crescendo yesterday, was none other than Nancy Mace.
The gentlelady...
Has used a phrase that is considered a slur in the LGBTQ community and the transgender community.
Let me please finish without an interruption.
Tranny, tranny, tranny.
I don't really care.
You want penises in women's bathrooms and I'm not going to have it.
No, thank you.
Now, whether you agree with her method or not, I think she got the point across.
Well, she's got to be more careful.
You say it three times and one might appear.
Well, come on.
That's an urban...
It's not actually a thing.
I mean, you make a good point, but...
Oh, God!
What?
What?
Oh!
Candy tranches!
Get out of here, candy tranches!
Go, go, go!
Do I have my bees back?
No!
Get!
Don't get!
We never loved you anyway.
Oh, God.
I had a hot flash.
Sorry, I didn't lock the door.
Yeah.
Geez.
Or the mirrors.
I think you'll second-guess that one.
So Title IX, what it was designed to be, Obama, Biden, where we are now, brings us to this week's installment of Then and Now.
I've got a blood blister in my hand from squeezing that fire extinguisher.
Did you really?
Yeah, I squeezed it really, really hard.
It was scary.
It was quite scary.
I didn't feel it because of the adrenaline dump, but now...
You're good.
All right.
You're going to be okay?
I think I'm going to be fine.
So we gave you the basis of Title IX. Let's go back to then.
Some alterations that were made with Title IX. Barack Obama.
2011. This administration...
Barack Obama's lowered the standard of evidence to find students liable for sexual assault.
That was a big change.
We lived through it.
Mattress Girl was an example of that.
She was never actually right.
There were a bunch of rape hoaxes that had taken place and men's lives irreparably destroyed in 2016. It changed.
It was modified to require schools to treat trans students.
Consistent now with gender identity.
So that means bathrooms.
That means housing.
That included sports.
So it no longer had anything to do with sex, which was the basis of Title IX. Now it's gender identity, which was pretty much made up within two years of that taking place.
That brings us to another then, again, the Biden administration.
They reinstated the trans protections, which were rescinded in Donald Trump's first term.
They expanded harassment to include misgendering.
What?
So we went from harassment to mean something.
It meant, hey, deliberately using your words or approaching someone in a way to make them feel uncomfortable, to make them feel accosted, to saying something that a woman doesn't like, to then saying something that somebody who claims to be a woman, even if they haven't, doesn't like.
You see the slippery slope?
It's not a fallacy in this case.
They also implemented what was known as the single investigator model, which means that the same person would investigate sexual harassment or discrimination claim, which includes misgendering someone, and the same person acts as a decision maker in determining violations and recommending sanctions.
Imagine you get the wrong one.
I imagine they're all the wrong ones.
Yes!
I imagine there's someone putting them into positions that has an agenda.
Exactly.
Imagine you say, sir, I mean ma'am, boom.
One person decides, that is sexual harassment, and we have cases of this, and you're out.
You don't get to graduate.
That brings us to now, which is why this executive order is appropriate.
So, this is something, and of course, but Donald Trump's executive order has implemented a two-genders policy.
That is the definition.
That is where we are going.
That is how we are moving forward.
It empowers the Secretary of State to see that these international sports bodies, not just us here, enshrines these protections along with our sports, anyone competing.
So this would include the International Olympic Committee.
Mitt Romney just soiled his pants.
Not related.
And this EO rescinds any funding to institutions that don't comply with it.
Good.
The fact that we have had to go through this saga is scary.
It does defy logic.
But I will tell you this.
The fact that we have gone through it I think probably strengthens The idea that this pendulum has swung the other way.
I think enough people have seen this and said, yeah, okay, we actually probably need some protections for biological women.
People are far less concerned with hurting feelings than they are now with...
...in sports.
bye so take your testicles and dead names like kyle it's not a question there's a bulge between your thighs completely predictable to anyone with eyes trump's getting things set right with title nine well done by the way download the rumble app if you're watching right now i said That's the best way to stay in touch.
You only get notifications.
When your subscriptions are live, it's Rumble.
We own live.
And, of course, Rumble Premium is what keeps everything going.
Let's go.
And it's not funded by USAID. No.
We're not on that list.
You know what?
I want to clarify something here, too, because we try and be transparent here.
First off, the dominoes, they just keep falling.
It's a story that keeps growing and growing, and I think we're going to look back on this as a watershed moment where people...
I said, wow, that's how corrupt our government was?
We knew there was waste.
We knew there was half a trillion dollars a year in fraud.
We didn't realize that the spending was so frivolous, or in some cases, actually subversive.
Now, I want to be clear about this.
There have been some stories out there that are not necessarily accurate, and that's given the left ammo to fact-check and miss the principle of the story.
And the truth is, yes, a lot of different entities, news agencies, have been receiving taxpayer funds.
In a way that is completely inappropriate, I would argue violates the First Amendment.
And I want you to know that we did cover it live.
There's a difference in things that we cover live as they are breaking, right, because we feel the need to let you know what is at that point in time being reported, versus story segments like this where we make all the sources available and are meticulous about our research.
Yesterday, this was breaking as we were on air, the Politico USAID funding.
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.
All right, so that was us live yesterday as it was breaking.
The technical glitch is not in dispute, I believe.
No, that is not in dispute.
The missing of payroll thing.
We have to clarify this a little bit.
So here's what you are seeing out there, that Politico got $8 million from USAID in 2024. Right here, we can bring this up.
It says, Politico is owned by Axel Springer, which in turn owns Business Insider, which publishes attack journalism, whose targets have included Elon Musk.
So the $8.1 million that Politico received last year from USAID has been used to support the owner of Business Insider and its efforts.
That is not accurate.
There is a number that is $8 million.
And it is taxpayer dollars, and it is going to Politico, but it is not all from USAID. The reason I say that that is important is because the left is fact-checking it, saying, actually, that's not true.
It's just a couple hundred thousand dollars.
And the left reads it and moves on.
It is $8 million.
That's not accurate reporting.
The $8 million is a total number that Politico received from all government agencies.
That's worse.
That means that more government agencies were giving Politico money for their hackery.
About $24,000 came directly from USAID. You can check all of the references, link in the description, so that you know all of this checks out.
It is still $8 million, but the left will fact check that number is coming from USAID as false.
Technically is true.
I would argue it's worse because this is a clear example of collusion where all arms and departments of government are working together to fund propaganda.
And someone who answered perfectly...
On this, specifically how this was actually subsidizing subscriptions, Caroline Levitt, who's probably the biggest job upgrade that I think I've seen in my lifetime.
I was made aware of the funding from USAID to media outlets, including Politico, who I know has a seat in this room.
And I can confirm that the more than $8 million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico on the American taxpayers' dime will no longer be happening.
The Doge team is working on canceling those payments now.
Again, this is a whole-of-government effort to ensure that...
We are going line by line when it comes to the federal government's books.
And this president and his team are making decisions across the board on do these receipts serve the interests of the American people?
Is this a good use of the American taxpayers' money?
If it is not, that funding will no longer be sent abroad and American taxpayers will see significant savings because of that effort.
Beautiful.
Perfectly done.
Taxpayer dollars, subsidizing subscriptions.
She wasn't caught flat-footed.
She errs in the side of caution, being very articulate, being very accurate with her words.
I expect good things.
Yeah, absolutely.
And by the way, they were saying these are pro-subscriptions from Politico that were maybe 10,000-ish.
I saw some reporting on this.
Just go to X! Yeah.
Like, you're gonna find the information more quickly on the number one news app.
Like, it just is people telling you what's going on in the world.
And even then, it doesn't cost millions of dollars.
For example, we have subscriptions to certain news wires, or we have subscriptions, for example, to certain royalty-free images or tracks.
It does not cost millions of dollars.
This is a money laundering scheme.
This is a media company.
That makes sense.
It doesn't make sense for the USAID to have it, or, you know, an FBI or a CIA agency to have political subscriptions.
Get it on your own money.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Well, and even just subsidizing any form of media, I would argue, is a violation of the First Amendment, okay?
Let me explain to you why.
There's a freedom of the press, right?
There's a lot under the First Amendment.
The left will throw out things like separation of church and state.
Well, that's not in the First Amendment.
I understand what you're discussing.
You are also misinterpreting the spirit.
The First Amendment does talk about the freedom of the press.
That means...
That the government needs to be free from the press as well.
They have no say in the press.
The press cannot be free if they are bound to the government because it is the press's duty to report on the government.
You know, their job was to do what Doge is doing now.
Do you understand that?
That's the only role of the press.
They're supposed to be.
The reason the First Amendment is in there is for the same reason we have the three branches of government.
To be a check and a balance against a government.
A free press.
Otherwise, it's Pravda with lesbian bloggers.
Nobody wants that.
Except for lesbian bloggers.
I don't want it.
Not when you see them eating Cheetos.
So, this is how the left is spinning it.
Here's Erica Pandy and Sarah Fisher at Axios.
They wrote, the government spends trillions of taxpayer funds annually.
Okay?
The fact that the Trump administration is focused...
On slashing relatively small media budgets at the outset of Trump's second term speaks to how seriously targeting media companies is their priority.
Hold on a second.
8 million here, a few million there, a couple million here, 100,000 here, 100,000 there, 100,000 here, another 100 million here.
It adds up.
And at a certain point, we find ourselves at the intersect of 220 to half a trillion dollars a year in fraud, not to mention waste.
Where do we start?
We know it's not the Department of Education.
Gotta add more money there.
We know it's not entitlement programs.
Gotta throw more money at that.
Medicare?
Medicaid?
Social Security?
No, absolutely not.
Hey, alright.
Where?
How about we start with, because we don't know the level of fraud, to be clear, how about we start with the most illegitimate, unconstitutional forms of government action, like subsidizing media?
I don't care if it's $2 or if it's $2 billion.
Bet my life it's at least $2 billion overall.
It should be no dollars.
There's no discussion to be had here that it is the government's role to be funding media, especially when you understand that that media then, in many cases, comes out and endorses candidates who promise larger government.
Hey, let me ask you this.
How do you think you garner more positive coverage from Politico, Reuters, NPR, New York Times.
Do you think promising bigger budgets might help?
And they're right about one thing, though.
The government has been spending money on media for a long time.
This is not new.
media propaganda has been going on here for years.
Extra, extra, read all about it.
Pregnant, trans men feel alone and mistreated by America's healthcare system.
Extra!
Let's get to the wrong gender!
Hey, if you're one of those, take a paper, read about it.
Also, go to crownershot.com, get you a nice shirt, give you a nice little hog there, nice and tight.
Extra, extra, read all about it.
Transgenders, might I suggest, a waste paper basket.
That's the place for you.
Extra, extra, read all about it.
You freaks.
See?
We're talking to you.
Don't look at him.
Him?
Her?
All right, so let's just go through some of the entities.
At what point are they actually private businesses?
Let's just call them government entities.
There you go.
Government news agencies.
You can't survive without the government's money.
Bye.
Government content creation.
Whatever you want to call it.
Let's go with Politico.
All right, we'll start with Politico.
So from USAID, they received about $24,000.
But the total, and this is just 2024, in taxpayer dollars granted to them from the government, Is $8.4 million.
Well, actually, it may be a little worse than that.
What's that?
So it looks like there's about $32 million in funding.
And it's supposed to be kind of over the lifetime.
But lifetime looks like it starts in 2016 with very small numbers.
And then those lines go up quite a bit with a new administration for some reason.
Then they go back down with this.
Oh.
And by the way, there was no...
That's strange.
$32 million.
They didn't have those.
I guarantee you, President Trump back then didn't realize the level of corruption.
That's why you're seeing a man on a mission now.
Yes.
Or he was seeing it and no one was believing him.
Nobody was helping him because he didn't have his own people with him.
And by the way, that's from all government agencies, so that's all...
Yeah, all government.
It's just insane numbers.
I don't care if they're funneling money from the VA or they're taking it from your social security check, some slush fund.
Doesn't matter.
It's my money and I want it now, bitch.
Okay?
No annuities.
When you have huge fraud and you need cash now, call D-O-G-E. 877-NO-CASH. Let me show Politico, though, what they have done, too.
So you have actually funded these stories.
And I know the Hunter Biden laptop was deemed Russian disinformation.
Okay, so that's bad.
But does it now really make sense when you look as to how vigorously...
These agencies, these government arms of propaganda, these news publications, fought against the idea of a free press.
Now it makes sense.
Let's look at some of those political headlines while they were receiving your money.
Trump is pushing falsehoods.
Some Republicans are worried about the fallout.
2024, maybe the year online disinformation finally gets the better of us.
Oh yeah, we have to be concerned about the non-government funded.
Disinformation.
Starting to get the Orwellian picture?
Let's go to AP, Associated Press.
They're considered very legitimate.
A lot of people in this industry use their newswire.
2024, government dollars, we don't know how much came from USAID. Right now, the total low in taxpayer dollars, $1.7 million.
So some of those dollars come from the State Department, DOD. It is hard to track.
This is just what we know now.
And by the way, I'm willing to bet that they are burning, physically burning hard drives.
Now again, it makes sense when you see, hey, AP, were they fighting for a free press?
Were they fighting for independent journalists?
Or were they part of the cabal silencing us, you, the American people, while stealing from you?
Think about that.
They stole your money.
Two, silence you.
Some AP headlines during this time, while government-funded.
Anonymous users are dominating right-wing discussions online.
They also spread false information.
And of course, that leads to always demanding they be removed.
RNC's live-streaming partner, Rumble, for the GOP debate is a haven for disinformation and extremism.
So think about this for a second.
These sites, these publications, are used for YouTube fact-checking.
People get throttled.
People get demonetized.
Popular people, people you choose to watch, they go to an alternative.
Remember people used to say, libertarians, go build your own YouTube.
Okay, very expensive.
Multi-billion dollar endeavor.
Rumble?
The people funded by the government say, gotta ban that too.
It's not enough for you to go build your own sandbox.
They have to bomb everyone else's sandbox.
And the bombs are funded by your tax dollars.
BBC. And I know what you're thinking.
BBC. Careful.
BBC. Of course it's funded by the government.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I bet you didn't realize our government.
Are you taking the f***ing piss?
I'm not.
2024 money.
Total dollars.
2.1 million.
In that case, it looks like all 2.1 million came from USAID. The BBC. What?
The British Broadcasting Corporation.
Why in the hell are they taking money?
From the United States.
And why are we funding them?
We're better than the Brits.
That's why we left.
Let's look at the headlines.
BBC fighting for free?
An open internet?
BBC fighting for independent journalists?
Here are some headlines.
Disinformation poses biggest risk in the US. Social media.
Is it really biased against US Republicans?
YouTube bans malicious insults and veiled threats.
That was an article, by the way, about us.
What?
Malicious insults and veiled threats.
We actually didn't make those and we didn't violate those.
No, and they weren't veiled either.
No.
And this is what's so perverse about this.
You cannot have a free press if everyone...
Let me ask you this.
Okay.
You've seen every Disney movie.
You've seen every children's movie where...
Oil man bad, right?
Business person bad.
And we all accept the premise that there's a big, bad oil man who's funding some kind of an organization, and so what do they do?
Well, they push propaganda for big oil!
We used to hear that about Big Pharma until the left became their biggest fans, right?
Look, big business is lying to you.
Why?
Someone holds the purse strings.
Guess what?
You have to dance monkey dance.
Does that not apply to government?
If the government is funding you, if the government is what allows you to exist, would you imagine that that entity is beholden to government?
Would you imagine that they've invested interest in larger government?
Do you think that BBC, Politico, AP, do you think they're ever going to allow legitimate articles to go out advocating for less government?
Or advocating for downsizing government?
Or advocating for rooting out fraud in government?
If you even started an op-ed, the boss at AP or BBC would walk down to your office, what are you doing?
Or looking into this stuff.
One of the tweets that I saw, the biggest cell phone that I've seen so far, is like, guys, all this information you're seeing has been public.
It was available in 2020, in 2022, in 2024. And I'm saying, all this information has been public!
And it took Elon Musk coming in to start exposing it.
What were you doing?
Your job is to do stuff like this.
That's right.
You were on the take, it looks like.
Yes.
That's why you didn't cover this.
Yeah, and by the way, this is also...
Proof positive when people say, private business can do whatever they want.
Really?
Is YouTube a private business?
At that point?
If these are the fact checkers, if these are the borderline content advocates, they don't tell you who it is, but we know that at least AP, we know that at least Politico, we know that at least WAPO have been included, we know that at least the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Hold on a second.
People have said it's not freedom of speech.
You have the right to say whatever you want, not on a private platform.
Okay, what if it's being supported by taxpayer dollars?
It couldn't be more clear.
It's no longer the digital town square.
It's the digital capital steps, and they're removing you for speaking.
Let me give you another example here.
You may not remember this, but remember Biden's DHS? They published, here's some connections we didn't fully have, Security Agency Report.
SISA is how people pronounce it.
It listed this very show as the top spreader of misinformation.
Well, hold on.
A top.
We didn't quite get to number one.
I think it was a different day where they had a little graph.
Okay.
This very show.
The only show that provides all the references publicly.
Usually left-leaning.
Like, right now you just saw SISA. Right now you just saw New York Times.
They listed this show.
They used taxpayer dollars.
To contract private companies to generate that report.
And that report was used by social media platforms, including places like YouTube, like Twitter, like Facebook, to decide who to censor, who to shadowban, who to throttle, who to demonetize.
Taxpayer dollars generate a false report that this is misinformation.
And that goes to big tech, and they say, aye, aye, Captain.
We're just following orders.
That seem like a free press to you?
Mm-mm.
That's why we need to know every single penny that has been spent.
Because otherwise, there's no fixing the issue.
Yeah, and we'll be contacting our lawyers.
I think we'll be contacting the half-Asian...
Just to do some checking.
Half-Asian Kraken.
I'd like to know how many YouTube Premium subscriptions are being paid for by U.S. tax tellers.
That's a legitimate question.
I mean, seriously, if they're subsidizing subscriptions to Politico and the New York Times and AP, then surely they're subsidizing subscriptions to YouTube Premium.
Where they show CNN and they show CBS News and all that?
Or advertising dollars.
Or YouTube TV. Imagine if we had $8 million a year to spend just in advertising on Google and YouTube.
Yeah, that would be a game changer.
Not to mention, you know, we also talked about what this does with Brazil.
We talked about that coup there when you're talking about USAID and you're talking about the Supreme Court.
And just to mention this, by the way, Paulo Figueiredo, I know he's going through some stuff, a friend of ours.
And a friend of ours, too, also Brazilian, they sent me, like, God, so much meat, easy meats.
They're not a sponsor, but I've never had better.
Better steak in my life.
They ship it to you.
It's frozen.
It's just easymeats.com.
It's not even the same food as most steak that I've had.
These are two Brazilian guys who are in the United States.
God-fearing, patriotic Americans.
No, I'm keeping it for me.
There's an egg shortage.
If there's a steak shortage...
Come on, I'll cook it for you.
But do, if you're in Florida, go check them out or you can order their stuff.
Again, they're not an official sponsor.
Just friends and they did me a solid.
Let's move on to this, because this is something I would like to see examined.
So we know about Politico, we know about BBC, I would imagine Reuters, other places we'll look into.
I listen to these late-night monologues every day.
Kimmel, Colbert, sometimes Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart when he shows up twice a week right now.
Self-torture?
Yeah.
And I've noticed a disturbing trend.
I get it that you run into the same concepts.
But I'm willing to bet...
That if there isn't some kind of direct funding going on, and I do hope that Doge looks into it, that there are meetings that take place, because you can run into similar ideas, but you're about to see a supercut here, a montage.
It's impossible, unless this is a coordinated effort, to make the same exact jokes about the same exact story using the same exact source and often time codes.
And, add on top of that, then use the same exact lies, lies by omission, and display the same exact biases in not telling people certain portions of the story.
So, this is easy to just write this off as a story about copying jokes, but when you understand that this may be done for political expediency, boy, that makes it...
That makes it pretty scary when you understand what the role of a court jester is actually supposed to be.
So let's, I think we have this montage right here from late night shows, some verbatim jokes to start off with.
And not just verbatim jokes, but watch the RFK Jr., this story, went on all day.
Full day of hearings.
And both of them picked the exact same clip from the exact same source.
Of some relative of RFK who said something crazy that could not be less relevant to lead into the same exact joke.
Proof.
Ambassador Kennedy gave an alarming example of Bobby's insane cruelty from his drug-fueled college days.
His basement, his garage, his dorm room were always the center of the action.
Where drugs were available and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.
Okay.
Okay, that behavior is disgusting and cruel, and it completely disqualifies him from working for HHS and for Jamba Juice.
His first cousin, Caroline Kennedy, daughter of JFK, made a video opposing his confirmation and adding to the long list of crazy stories about this crazy person.
His basement, his garage, his dorm room were always the center of the action.
Where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.
Well, that explains why he lost the job at Jamba Juice.
So now, we have a one-month ceasefire in what some liberal rag called the Wall Street Journal described as the dumbest trade war in history, to which the Dallas Mavericks said, hold my Luka Doncic.
This was...
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
You know, on Friday, the Wall Street Journal ran an editorial saying that Trump's tariffs would cause the, quote, dumbest trade war in history.
Of course, that was published before Dallas sent Luka Doncic to the...
Hmm.
Same exact source.
That's insane.
Think about that.
One article at Wall Street Journal that says what they like to the same exact punchline.
That doesn't happen by accident.
It goes beyond just joke thievery, though the worst offender is Stephen Colbert, which is why Gerald is wearing the joke thief shirt.
We can't see it, Toolman.
If you can go to crowdshop.com.
There's the shirt.
There you go.
Yeah, it's quite a bit of fun.
Go get it.
And here's the thing.
Beyond that...
You see these, and I really hope that people look, and I know this will be funneled through multiple different entities, probably go to some kind of a non-profit that probably goes to the parent company, that probably goes to the network.
But does anyone at this point doubt that these people are puppets, folks who tell them what to do?
Because this is something else.
When we're not even discussing jokes, now we're going to get into this area of just exposing how they cover stories.
They're not even telling jokes.
So, for example, it's quite important for you to know in the tariff war with Canada that there were some demands made.
We told you about that, that they were asking for border security.
They were asking for, of course, Canada to start.
Carrying their own weight.
Because if we shut down the southern border, well, fentanyl can just come through the northern border.
Of course, the left would have said, well, there's not a lot of fentanyl coming in now.
Well, that's the point.
It'll just be the easy entry point unless something is done about it.
So these were pretty reasonable requests that were made.
And then Trudeau acquiesced.
And so they were paused.
Right?
So the tariffs existed for about two days.
Mexico capitulated immediately.
Canada took an extra day.
All right.
But imagine if you were watching these shows, and by the way, I mean every single one of these shows, late night shows, and you saw them covering this story, and you didn't have another reference point.
You would never have been told that Canada agreed to start helping securing the border.
Spoiler alert, just this afternoon, right?
Late this afternoon.
After their second phone call of the day, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Trump announced that, just like with Mexico, U.S. tariffs on Canada are going to be postponed by 30 days as the two countries negotiate a border deal.
What it is is it's fake.
He is pretending to issue tariffs so that Canada and Mexico can pretend to bend over for him and then it'll look like he's the big hero.
It's like wrestling.
Now today, Mexico announced that they'd reached a deal with Trump to delay the tariffs for a month, which is fully how I expected this to play out because it's all bluster for the cameras.
Of course, by the way, since we even were writing this show at like 4 p.m., Trump has already said now he's going to pause the tariff war with Canada as well because...
Now, go to the liberal message boards.
Go to Democratic Underground, if you can create an account.
Go to Reddit Politics.
Not Reddit Liberal, not Reddit Democrat, Reddit Politics.
And you will see that everyone there believes Donald Trump is a pussy who caved on his own tariffs.
They don't know 10,000 guardsmen sent from Mexico to the border.
They don't know billions of dollars that's going to be spent by Canada.
To help fight the war on fentanyl.
They don't know that.
That's why you can't find common ground.
And then they blame you for creating an echo chamber.
They blame you.
Places like Politico, BBC. Places like Associated Press.
Places like NBC, CBS, ABC, NBC News, MSNBC, whatever it is.
CNBC. So many NBCs.
Too many.
Think about that.
They demand that you be banned and blame you for creating an echo chamber.
They didn't cover the most important aspect of that story, not to mention, verbatim, ripped each other off on jokes.
And then they say people on the right can't be funny.
They say people, it's misinformation on the right?
Hey, right here?
All references available.
And they say, oh, conservatives can't be funny?
Well, hey, we'll go tit for tat.
You're welcome on this show anytime.
You probably need the ratings.
It reminds me, I'm sorry, Stephen, that I haven't written any Jamba Juice jokes.
I know.
It's tough because it doesn't exist anymore.
I'm sorry.
I was going to write something on Smoothie King and Orange Julius, but I thought, ah!
They went back.
What about Bennigan's?
I'm at the point where I'd rather watch current-day Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon.
That would be more entertaining.
I love it.
Look, when you were putting this, you were putting it in a thread and just saying, hey guys, check this stuff out.
I was like, oh, okay.
I'm sure they're like similar.
I had no idea.
It was like almost word for word, like in some cases.
Here's the thing.
Just going through that RFK one, all right?
You have an entire day of material.
An entire day of material.
So you mean to tell me that each room of, let's call it 20 to 40 something writers, producers, they looked at an entire day of hearings.
And every single person thought that those exact time codes, is her name Carolyn Kennedy?
The cousin?
Every single one of them picked those exact same time codes and those comments from a relative on RFK regarding his pet birds, which is probably the least relevant.
It's basically just a character assessment.
It has nothing to do with the hearings.
They all settled on that exactly, and then all said a Jamba Juice joke.
Well, that's the thing is that they didn't go through all that footage.
They've got to be getting this information from a blog, from an email, from somebody who's, you know, it's the approved content or whatever.
They're not watching the whole day of the RFK hearings.
They're getting an email that goes, hey, look what happened in the RFK hearings.
And they go, oh, let's write a joke about the onesie thing.
They're all getting the same one.
Best case scenario, they are all using the exact same original source for their material.
And then they blame you for misinformation and an echo chamber.
And I'm willing to bet they're absolutely...
Are some taxpayer dollars at play there?
The host may not even know it.
I'd bet my life on it.
Someone please look into it.
Do you have anything you were bringing?
Oh, yeah.
So we've got probably, I mean, what we're hearing might be one of the best truths from Donald Trump ever.
Oh, boy.
I have to warm up.
It's not warmed up.
Because we have to get to the Project 2025 rally yesterday.
We have some exclusive from that, and it's pretty funny.
And by the way, okay, I'll get to this, but if you are not a...
Project 2025 rally, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which isn't a thing.
But if you are not a member of Rumble Premium, we're going to continue today.
It's Chat Thursday.
Click that button right there.
You join, and you get to continue watching 100% more show.
You get Nick DiPaolo.
You get Mr. Guns and Gear.
You get Dr. Disrespect.
You get Russell Brand.
You get Donald Trump Jr., and you get the entire experience ad-free.
This is actually independently funded media.
So I know you probably have subscription fatigue, but I guarantee you this is the only subscription That the government is not paying for.
It's not the only one they're not paying for, but it's the only one I can guarantee you they're not paying for.
We think Media Matters still has a subscription, but that's just one guy.
I know for a fact they do.
It's Jason, right?
They fact-check the Rumble Premium segments.
Jason Campbell.
Hi, Jason.
Hey, buddy.
Want to see my dick?
All right.
I'm just kidding.
I was just going to tell him to stay in school.
Stay in school, Jason.
That's my thing.
You could end up being a reporter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on, Jason.
I'm not going to bullshit you.
Yeah, I'm not going to bullshit you.
Stay in school, right?
Hey, don't bang kids.
That's our thing.
We don't sleep with kids.
People who didn't tune in yesterday, it makes no sense.
Yeah, I just...
If you did...
That was worth the price of admission, which is nothing.
Right now Jason's going, don't tell me how to live my life.
Don't tell me what's...
You're not the boss of me!
I'm my own man.
He's going to tweet about it like, Stephen Crowder told me he's going to show me his dick.
I would.
No, he offered you.
That's another man.
He asked permission.
As long as it is consensual, I have no problem with it.
Have you ever offered to show someone your penis and they said no, you didn't do it?
Maisie Hirono retweets it.
I have on good authority that Stephen has a small circumcised penis.
Alright.
I mean, you know, you need to have something next to it for scale, but I'll grant you that.
Hello?
Nerds.
Alright, let's grab...
Let's grab the Truth Social.
This just came out right now.
It's almost 11 o'clock Eastern.
Okay.
This came out this morning.
The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting.
The Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled and far safer.
Resettling Chuck Schumer?
Am I reading this right?
Yeah, I think so.
The Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and beautiful communities with new and modern homes in the region.
They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free.
And it's all about freedom.
The US working with great development teams from all over the world would slowly, carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on earth.
No soldiers by the US would be needed.
Stability for the region would reign three exclamation marks.
Three.
I don't know if that's the best ever.
I go with what I'm told.
Yes.
It's all right.
I still like the Barney Frank one.
Yeah, the Barney Frank one.
That I can remember.
Here's a fun one.
So we actually, we have undercover journalists everywhere across this country.
And, you know, we used to really have to pay a lot of attention and spend a lot of time infiltrating these leftist groups.
You saw that with the Pussy March and you saw that with Antifa and the like where it led to some arrests.
Now I will say this.
I still expect it to get worse.
I still expect the left to pop off at some point.
There isn't going to be the same kind of centralized organization as you saw from Black Lives Matter or these other giant marches.
The left is kind of in disarray.
It's like their generals have been picked off.
You ever see the Patriot?
It feels a lot like that.
So they did have a rally yesterday.
You probably didn't know about it.
It took place across the country, but again, you probably didn't know about it.
It was the Reject Project 2025 rally, and we sent a reporter out to New York City Hall to chat with some of these anti-fascist protesters and get to the bottom of why they think or how they rationalize that Donald Trump is a fascist.
Spoiler, they don't.
All fascist countries, as they get more and more authoritarian, they tend to go in that direction.
This is the RevCom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity, and I'm into New York's postcard.
The RevCom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity sees what's happening right now is the imposition of a fascist regime.
You know, if this continues to get worse and worse, if we don't put a stop to what's going on right now, we could lose some freedom of speech.
We think that we're free.
Because we have freedom of speech.
We are very much in shock with the American people.
Eating cats and eating dogs with no proof whatsoever and not citing any sources.
