On today's show: Crowder is being sued by the Fred Rogers Estate for a Bob Ross parody, and the government is trying to block access to his music videos on YouTube. Elon Musk wants to take Social Security away from the elderly and the disabled, and we'll tell you why that's not a good idea. Plus, the price of eggs is going down, and why it's a good thing.
00:02:18.000You never got me- Click Rumble Premium and join now for $99 annually or $9.99 a month to get the entirely ad-free experience and an ever-expanding roster of content, creators, and free speech.
00:03:40.000That's making the round today because, of course, the fear-mongering is going on.
00:03:43.000You live under tyranny because a green card holder is having his green card pulled, which, hold on a second, supported terrorism and committed crimes.
00:04:28.000It's not just in our government institutions.
00:04:30.000It's in those who send money to government institutions or politicians who create and maintain the government institutions.
00:04:39.000It's not enough for corruption to exist in our intelligence agencies and all of our three-letter agencies.
00:04:43.000You now know that corruption exists in the giant packs with billions of dollars that thrust into those agencies' quote-unquote elected officials.
00:04:52.000So let me ask you, where do you think the government has been Raping you most.
00:08:10.000$500 billion, approximately, per year.
00:08:13.000But the left, notably USAID, and notably the entitlement programs, they continue to fight and resist any and all investigations, auditing, Claiming it's a violation of fundamental human rights.
00:08:39.000There was an interview released with Elon Musk and Kudlow yesterday.
00:08:43.000Before I show you what it is that they are claiming is proof that Elon Musk is going to cut Social Security, I want you to ask yourself, Are all of these people really, really stupid?
00:08:57.000Did none of these people fast forward 30 seconds or watch for an additional 10, or are they lying to you?
00:09:10.000The left is telling you now that Elon Musk, according to his own words, is going, they were right, going to cut Social Security and Medicare.
00:09:17.000It's something people pay into, and the notion of eliminating it.
00:09:22.000Is, I think, going to blow up in the faces of Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
00:09:26.000Elon Musk's tech team could change the amount of Social Security you might receive next month, including changing it down to zero.
00:09:36.000This is part of a larger program now to go after the entitlement programs.
00:09:40.000The reason you have to imagine is because Elon continues to talk about this.
00:09:44.000And everywhere on X, on social media, on the Reddit forums, Elon Musk says...
00:09:50.000He is going to eliminate Social Security.
00:09:52.000Here is the clip that they are sharing and they only want you to watch.
00:09:57.000Which is most of the federal spending is entitlements.
00:10:00.000So that's like the big one to eliminate.
00:10:47.000That's the sort of half trillion, maybe 600, 700 billion a year.
00:10:52.000That is also a mechanism by which the Democrats attract and retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here and then turning them into voters.
00:11:42.000Then he cites a number, maybe half a trillion dollars.
00:11:45.000Half a trillion dollars does not cover all of the entitlement spending, so he's clearly talking about a portion of entitlement spending, namely the fraud and abuse.
00:11:52.000Then he discusses what kind of fraud and abuse, and by the way, something that harms actual, or should be, beneficiaries of Social Security.
00:12:01.000People who have no business being on these entitlement programs.
00:12:08.000Three examples where he makes it very clear we are looking at eliminating waste and fraud in this social program in order to continue its solvency.
00:12:24.000That's why we have an admonish button.
00:12:25.000That's why we make the references publicly available.
00:12:28.000This is a concerted effort, a proactive effort, to lie to you because People are a little too close.
00:12:35.000They're a little too close to the target.
00:12:37.000I mean, figuratively, I'm not talking about shooting anybody like Joe Biden.
00:12:40.000They're a little too close to the fraud target.
00:12:42.000And they don't want any light shined on it.
00:12:45.000Anyone who tells you that they heard Elon Musk, in the media, I should say, because unfortunately some people buy this BS, anyone who should know better, who has a show, who has a major social profile, platform, and says, I heard Elon Musk say that he's going to cut.
00:13:00.000Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, they are lying to you, and I guarantee you they are lying to you about a whole lot more, and we'll get to ActBlue.
00:13:08.000We'll get to the network that exists to perpetuate these lies.
00:13:12.000And even if they did cut Medicare, everyone would still be able to afford the highest quality coffee on God's green earth.
00:13:19.000Here in the Bolivian Mountains, after a long day of work, nothing better than a glass of coffee just yet made.
00:14:06.000I guess now there's actually a chance to win a Cybertruck and $30,000 cash.
00:14:11.000I'm not eligible because I think that would be considered a violation of the law, but I will tell you, their coffee is better and it's more affordable.
00:14:17.000They sell them in big 16-ounce bags, Roastate.
00:14:46.000There's very fine people on both sides.
00:14:48.000That's the exact kind of moment we saw there.
00:14:49.000But it's on the heels of, if you remember when they put the spending, the kind of the, I don't know if it was the bill or just this framework of how much they wanted to cut.
00:15:11.000I think it's because that is where so much of this fraud and abuse and this waste and people just hiding in the weeds, this swamp that we've been talking about, resides there so much.
00:15:21.000I actually think Elon was as articulate and clear as he's ever been.
00:15:24.000Because sometimes he does screw up a little bit in the sense that he's not precise enough or he's broad.
00:15:30.000And people say, oh, we're going to fact check this.
00:15:35.000In explaining the fact that we don't know where all of this fraud is, we just know that there are problems and anomalies, and we know that fraud could exist, and we know that we have seen fraud does exist.
00:15:44.000He said he started with USAID because they fought it the most.
00:15:48.000He said they fought it the most vehemently, and I thought, why are they so passionate about fighting any kind of an investigation or audit?
00:15:55.000It's not because it's the biggest one.
00:16:56.000If you believe what the left told you, you would believe Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid are going to be cut and law-abiding citizens who are here or green card holders are being deported and Donald Trump is ratcheting up the price of eggs as they give money to their billionaire friends.
00:17:37.000And the left is telling you this is an example of tyranny.
00:17:40.000Donald Trump's just going to start pulling green cards and visas and even citizenships from people who don't vote for him.
00:17:47.000A federal judge has blocked the deportation of a Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate who was arrested by federal immigration agents in New York Saturday.
00:17:58.000Attorneys representing Mahmoud Khalil have filed a motion as well to transfer him back to New York after he was sent to an ice processing center in Louisiana.
00:18:06.000The Department of Homeland Security says Khalil was arrested for violating President Trump's executive order banning anti-Semitism.
00:18:32.000So, he's being detained while this goes through the review process.
00:18:35.000Truth Social post from President Trump.
00:18:38.000He said this about the detention of Khalil.
00:18:39.000He said, Following my previously signed executive orders, ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a radical foreign pro-Hamas student on the campus of Columbia University.
00:19:17.000We are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together.
00:19:23.000If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests.
00:19:35.000We don't know the exact activity that got Khalil into trouble, but considering he was involved with the taking over of a building and spreading terrorist propaganda, we can guess...
00:19:48.000We're not talking to him in the press.
00:20:31.000No, that's exactly what you would think.
00:20:33.000And we'll get into other countries and their policies.
00:20:34.000So, he is one of the leaders of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest group, which stated in a post that they stand for the, quote, total eradication of Western civilization.
00:21:27.000In other countries, if you protest the government and say the government sucks, they call it the, well, I guess, go back to where you don't hate it policy.
00:22:37.000This is number 8 of the USC section, I believe, 1182. We have the reference in the description.
00:22:44.000Any alien who endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization is inadmissible.
00:22:52.000I think that the destruction of Western civilization and taking over a building on campus certainly qualifies.
00:24:41.000Unfortunately, and I believe we have them on the line, President Donald Trump, we know who is overseeing the case, and President Trump is none too happy.
00:26:15.000In conclusion, this issue encapsulates everything that's wrong with the left.
00:26:19.000They believe that people should not only come to our country unfettered, they should be granted a path to citizenship even if they advocate for the destruction of this country and engage in acts of arguably or flat-out terrorism.
00:26:29.000Then they claim it's freedom of speech.
00:26:50.000Everybody's like, oh, okay, so you come out, you speak against the country, you can't speak against the Jews, and they're going to deport you.
00:29:25.000And actually, Donald Trump is one of the first presidents in our lifetime who's taking that on, similar to Teddy Roosevelt as far as antitrust quite a bit.
00:29:51.000He hasn't made the price of gas go down.
00:29:53.000And in fact, all he's done is found a way to cut funding for programs that help American families, middle class families all over the country.
00:30:00.000More and more Americans are sharing their concern about egg prices.
00:30:20.000The price of groceries is not coming down.
00:30:22.000We know we have bird flu, and this administration is cutting the folks, the staff, that monitor this, that keep us safe, that keep our food safe.
00:30:30.000It also doesn't help that the Trump administration has been suppressing new research on bird flu transmission.
00:33:47.000Which is funny because the left, and we'll get to what Donald Trump has done, the left wants to claim that Donald Trump takes money from you and gives it to his billionaire buddies.
00:33:54.000There is an element of corporate greed at play here.
00:33:57.000And it's only enabled by an all-powerful government that subsidizes them.
00:34:01.000So one company, to give you an example, it's called CalMain.
00:34:05.000They produce about one in five eggs that are consumed or used in the United States in any given year.
00:35:30.000$44 million have been government purchase programs to stabilize, quote-unquote, the egg industry, not to mention agricultural tax breaks, exemptions that...
00:36:26.000A good example of that, for example, in Canada, socialized healthcare we've talked about, is LASIK. Cost balloon out of control with socialized healthcare.
00:37:47.000It stands to reason because if they produce one in five eggs, now they're far and away the top egg producer, but that means that four out of five come from a collective number of farms.
00:37:56.000But how do they all end up with the same price even though they're not affected the same as far as bird flu?
00:38:00.000How do they all end up jacking the price?
00:38:01.000You would think if you're a business, you would want to keep your prices low if you have the available resources because then you get a corner on the market.
00:38:08.000Instead, they receive bailouts and for some reason all their prices go up the same amount.
00:38:14.000Donald Trump is the only one who said, let's look into this.
00:38:17.000Let's look into whether this is criminal behavior.
00:38:20.000That sound like someone who's a crony capitalist looking out for billionaire buddies?
00:38:45.000We're going to be importing six times the amount of eggs that we did last year under a Trump administration.
00:38:50.000They're even considering some vaccinations for poultry flocks.
00:38:54.000I know, I know a lot of you aren't thrilled at vaccine eggs, and I get it, hormones, but the point is, at this point in time, more is being done by this administration than the previous one, including looking into criminal behavior.
00:39:05.000This is why I'm no longer a libertarian.
00:39:07.000It is not a free market if they receive Tens of millions of dollars in bailouts and other farms can't compete.
00:39:15.000That's a big reason why you're paying these egg prices and Donald Trump is actually stepping in and we're seeing some results right now.
00:41:16.000Now, then you look at it and you go, okay, well, this one company, okay, they got 20% of the market.
00:41:19.000I don't think they can affect the market that much.
00:41:21.000Until you start looking, okay, like the government subsidies, I don't care what they charge, but then, wait a minute, if you're boxing out competition, potentially, that's a problem.
00:41:27.000If you're taking a bunch of government subsidies to kind of prop your business up that maybe would have failed, otherwise, that's a problem for me.
00:41:33.000And then the last thing, this was what kind of tied a nice little bow on all of this for me, was price fixing.
00:41:39.000That's the real issue that the DOJ is getting to the bottom of.
00:41:42.000Are these guys colluding and sharing information and price fixing?
00:41:46.000Because that happens in other industries where the leader in the industry can take a step out and raise the price and they say, oh, hey, we have our cover to do it.
00:41:54.000And if they get together and price fix, that's illegal.
00:42:29.000Well, I mean, I just, I don't care what people charge.
00:42:31.000We talked about this with Kroger when Bernie Sanders was going after these guys, and they were doing price, you know, shrinkflation, all that stuff.
00:42:37.000I mind the issue is when they raise prices, but they box out competition.
00:42:41.000They're big enough to handle the regulations, something we've talked about as well.
00:42:44.000So I'm glad that we talked about that, because I was a little worried.
00:42:46.000I was like, man, I really think bird flu.
00:44:32.000We've had the same mega farms for really the last half a century.
00:44:37.000For example, the organic label is a scam.
00:44:39.000This is one thing I get that people want to be healthier, but you have a lot of small local farms where you can go and see how the animals are treated.
00:44:46.000The organic certification because they actually have to treat their fence posts to make it through winter.
00:44:50.000Meanwhile, the factory farm down the street who receives the government subsidies because they're too big to fail, they get the organic label even though their chickens are cooped up in cages and have no room to run.
00:46:33.000Speaker 1: The President doesn't act that way.
00:46:34.000He doesn't get out there and say, "Hey, Mr. President, you can't do this.
00:46:38.000Once we've appropriated dollars, then these dollars are supposed to be for this." And one of the things that they're not talking about in this continuing resolution is the fact that they are going to give even more latitude.
00:46:47.000This is basically going to be a slush fund for Elon and Donald Trump.
00:46:51.000They are getting rid of the parameters around the spending.
00:46:55.000I think the comparison was that we have- Speaker 1: Yes, you create a larger slush fund by cutting spending.
00:47:01.000How the monies are to be spent, but the majority of the discretion goes to Trump and Elon.
00:47:08.000When we normally had, I think in our last one, typically we have about 2,800 pages.
00:47:13.000We know there are a few, a handful, potentially.
00:47:39.000They made it easy for people to read and digest.
00:47:41.000And she's like, normally we have a lot of room to hide our business.
00:47:44.000These are the same people who say, the billionaires benefit from a complicated tax code because they can use all kinds of loopholes.
00:47:50.000You have an administration that is closing loopholes and eliminating redundancies and complications, and now you're saying that's how the wealthy will exploit it more?
00:48:01.000Well, pick a lane with the photo negative appropriated My Chemical Romance Black Parade dress.
00:51:56.000One of the most powerful lobbying groups, politically influential groups, really in modern American history.
00:52:05.000They've had a tough week, some high-profile resignations, some congressional probes are going on, and seven top officials, I believe, top officials have resigned, leaving the rest of us thinking, and we'll explain it, but right now thinking, what don't they want us to know?
00:53:14.000An investigation has found five ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla protests, Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise and Resist, The Indivisible Project, and Democratic Socialists of America.
00:53:25.000ActBlue funders include Soros, no surprise, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt Hendricks.
00:53:42.000I think it sort of was put into the public eye by none other than James O'Keefe in 2023 when he exposed, at that point, what was allegedly suspicious activity as far as how they categorized individual donations, ActBlue.
00:53:58.000FEC data shows that some senior citizens across the U.S. have been donating thousands of times per year.
00:54:13.000You're listed as someone who's given Over 31,000 individual contributions to various causes for a total of $230,000 using your name in this address.
00:54:46.000Having the Mug Club undercover unit engaging in investigative journalism, what happened when those came out is the left said, oh, come on, this has just gotcha journalism.
00:56:32.000Citizens United was about Hillary Clinton.
00:56:34.000The Clintons wanting to stop a negative documentary about the Clintons to get out.
00:56:38.000And then the court ruled that corporations are people.
00:56:41.000And I understand there are some issues with it.
00:56:43.000However, when we're looking at a giant organization with billions of dollars like ActBlue that is rife with corruption and of course has...
00:56:53.000Not just the people who you see them donate to, but again, a lot of these local races that make up the fabric of the political landscape across all of this country, and they then have carte blanche to do it because, hey, if they get enough of their people in there, guess what?
00:57:09.000Well, now it's not just that ActBlue raises this money, wherever it may be, wherever they get that money, but now it's that ActBlue gets these politicians into office who now use Your money.
00:57:21.000And then the American worker, you, subsidize the whole world.
00:57:34.000You subsidize the big three in Detroit.
00:57:37.000You subsidize all of the pension plans and all of these government benefits for the public servants.
00:57:42.000And you subsidize the security of the rest of the free world.
00:57:46.000Through NATO, you subsidize Canada by us engaging in quote-unquote free trade and allowing them to get away with murder.
00:57:54.000You, because of ActBlue, and because of this democratic machine, which is very, very effective, a well-oiled machine, let's follow this to the end point.
00:58:03.000It ends up with you subsidizing the rest of the world.
00:58:08.000And then, when someone gets in and says, hey, you know what?
01:00:15.000And the rest of the entire network, we are going to play something we can never play out in public, and rightfully so, on the Rumble Premium.
01:00:22.000But I wanted to ask, did you guys have anything that you wanted to add?
01:00:24.000Really quickly, I just wanted to say, because we do have our undercover unit on stuff like this, and one of the reasons this came out is because people reached out to James O'Keefe to do this.
