Despite the couple's empty claims to have an egalitarian marriage,
00:00:03.320
they admit Simone Collins does most of the childcare and housework,
00:00:07.020
but with the usual false claims that women are intrinsically better at these tasks.
00:00:13.120
How many men do you know who really, really can do laundry and dishes and cleaning house well?
00:00:26.500
It's not that I don't keep my wife in chains or bark orders at her or tell her what to do
00:00:33.060
or make her make my food or do most of the cleaning in the house or handle our livestock,
00:00:39.520
but I'm a feminist, which means I also force you to earn most of our money.
00:00:51.020
Just yesterday, we had a big feature in the Washington Post,
00:00:52.860
but, and news features on us, they often mischaracterize us,
00:00:56.640
and I've come to expect that from the mainstream media,
00:00:59.800
but we had one from Salon on us recently that was the most,
00:01:05.980
it almost felt like the person writing it was screaming the entire time they were writing
00:01:12.920
Yeah, the author, Amanda Marcant, just seemed kind of unhinged through the whole thing.
00:01:18.580
Her picture on Twitter is, by the way, her cat.
00:01:21.420
But I want, to get an understanding of, like, before we get into this,
00:01:32.880
who fantasizes about his wife dying in pregnancy,
00:01:44.300
you know, my wife does put her life at risk with every pregnancy,
00:02:03.260
But, actually, I found the article so objectionable.
00:02:06.920
Because, one, I think anyone will find it entertaining.
00:02:23.220
Okay, so you've got to get this from the Trump administration.
00:02:25.360
The lovely young press person who Trump has right now.
00:02:28.760
I was made aware of the funding from USAID to media outlets,
00:02:34.860
including Politico, who I know has a seat in this room.
00:02:38.140
And I can confirm that the more than 8 million taxpayer dollars
00:02:42.200
that have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico
00:02:45.440
on the American taxpayer's dime will no longer be happening.
00:02:48.640
The Doge team is working on canceling those payments now.
00:02:51.340
Again, this is a whole-of-government effort to ensure
00:02:57.840
when it comes to the federal government's books.
00:03:05.500
on do these receipts serve the interests of the American people?
00:03:09.960
Is this a good use of the American taxpayer's money?
00:03:13.020
If it is not, that funding will no longer be sent abroad,
00:03:16.260
and American taxpayers will see significant savings
00:03:28.080
We found that they were funding anti-libs of TikTok stuff.
00:03:33.560
where I really want to collect all the receipts on this
00:03:37.080
But they sent $4 million to the New York Times.
00:03:59.020
that the companies were making for this audience.
00:04:01.840
One of my favorite things that Asma Gold did recently,
00:04:10.140
Like all of this pushback, all of this insanity,
00:04:30.720
Elon Musk's War on Head Start Childhood Education
00:04:41.700
Thank you, Amanda Marcotte, for that beautiful.
00:04:51.340
You do not want to give money to women, unquote.
00:04:58.540
I'm going to start with a section that focuses on us
00:05:00.360
because it will better demonstrate to our audience
00:05:02.180
how intentionally lying the author of this article is
00:05:10.300
because if you aren't close to a subject of a piece,
