00:06:24.000Again, the theme like we talked about yesterday is starting off from American appeasement with Biden, of trying to ensure that America is equal to other countries, and of course ensuring that no one thinks that we think we're better versus these executive orders saying, ah, no, the United States is the greatest country and we should be even greater.
00:11:01.000It's just a bunch of silly videos and helpful recipes, like this one I found today.
00:11:06.000This one-pot weeknight pasta recipe will have you saying yummy yum yum and also agreeing that Taiwan has always historically been a part of China.
00:13:15.000other cabinet nominations that were approved by the committee now go to the Senate.
00:13:20.000Pete Hegseth, John Ratcliffe, Kristi Noem.
00:13:24.000The Lake and Riley Act was passed, which is basically going to require federal authorities to detain any migrants accused of theft, violent crimes, basically felonies.
00:13:31.000It's the first legislation passed by the Senate under Trump was voted 64 to 35.
00:16:27.000And hey, none of this happens without you.
00:16:28.000Not only the record election stream, not only this election taking place because of you, your support, Mug Club Undercover, all the work that you guys have done.
00:17:57.000To anybody, a lot of geniuses are, so he was the Capital One arena, and everyone, of course, was, not everyone, I should say, a few people were enraged by his animated style.
00:18:08.000This was a fork in the road of human civilization.
00:18:13.000You know, there are elections, elections that come and go, some elections are, you know, important, some are not, but this one, this one...
00:19:15.000Even if you don't think he's, you know, one of the geniuses of our time, you'd have to believe he's smart enough to, if he thought he was doing a Hale Hitler, maybe go another direction.
00:20:56.000Also, he visited Israel, which kind of, you know, in support, that's not ideal for a Nazi if you're trying to be a good one.
00:21:03.000So the claim that the left has made is that Elon Musk is absolutely a huge, no-doubt Nazi.
00:21:11.000A hand gesture by billionaire Elon Musk during a speech at Donald Trump's inauguration is causing controversy, with some comparing it to a fascist salute.
00:21:20.000Trump advisor Elon Musk raised eyebrows for a gesture some are comparing to a Nazi salute.
00:22:16.000Elon may be, like we said, he may be on the spectrum to use the white girl Pinterest pop psychology talk along with Narcissist and Red Flags, but he's not a Nazi.
00:25:24.000Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.
00:25:27.000So she, speaking of clear, she had a brief moment of clarity where she was listening to her constituents and now she's going back to being insufferable, crazy, and unintelligent.
00:25:37.000She's stolen that rhetoric, too, by the way.
00:26:33.000Not a great Nazi, Elon Musk, because truthfully, there you go, there's your Q2, man.
00:26:39.000Truthfully, Nazis don't typically visit Israel after October 7th in support.
00:26:46.000Now, To be fair, he did visit Falling Outrage after he agreed with some tweets accusing Jews of pushing anti-white hatred.
00:26:53.000So it was like, there's a little give and take there.
00:26:55.000The tweet was, Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.
00:27:02.000And Elon replied, you have said the actual truth.
00:27:05.000And then he jumped down on a mushroom.
00:27:08.000But again, it's just, he's not a good Nazi.
00:27:18.000And this is not, like you said, the wind's been taken, really taken out of them at this point.
00:27:23.000Everything for the first four years of Donald Trump, which is also why I'm a little leery of Mark Zuckerberg, because he said, oh, the administration really leaned on us and applied pressure for us to censor content.
00:27:33.000Well, no, you were doing it before Biden.
00:27:35.000You were doing it under the Trump administration.
00:28:05.000This is the line that has brought Donald Trump so much attention and trouble.
00:28:09.000When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.
00:28:13.000The race for the White House and former President Trump's campaign now on the defensive after his fiery rhetoric at a rally in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday night.
00:28:21.000Trump warning while discussing the economy that there would be a, quote, bloodbath if he is not reelected in November.
00:28:28.000And he refused to denounce supporters who threatened violence, famously refusing to rebuke the hate group known as the Proud Boys.
00:28:44.000For the first time, a federal judge has cited the House January the 6th Committee's final report since it was made public last week, indicating that then-President Donald Trump's remarks on January the 6th of 2021, telling a crowd to, quote, fight like hell before the Capitol attack, may suggest Trump was asking them to break the law.
00:32:27.000That the world's only superpower allowed a larger country with more resources to the north of it to exist while they try and undercut them.
00:34:26.000Donald Trump, a slew of executive orders were signed yesterday, and I'm happy with it.
00:34:31.000The first item that President Trump is signing is the rescission of 78 Biden-era executive actions, executive orders, presidential memoranda, and others.
00:34:46.000Sir, the next item, as you announced in your speech, is a requirement that federal workers return to full-time, in-person work immediately.
00:34:58.000This next item is a directive to the federal government ordering the restoration of freedom of speech and preventing government censorship of free speech going forward.
00:39:57.000Because, hey, if he was a white supremacist who actually went in and tried to bomb the Capitol building, right, which is what you were kind of sold in the public eye, here's what that man actually did to warrant being a criminal.
00:42:52.000And reinstated the policy of not counting illegals in the United States Census, which is one of those things where, think of how absurd it is, some people are going, wait a second, we were counting non-citizens in the census?
00:46:21.000And I keep going back to that because it's one of the very few examples where you would actually have the United States being a legitimate claim to asylum.
00:46:29.000The problem, the reason the left doesn't want to talk about it, is because they put the founder of the feast, Che Guevara, the communist revolutionary, on their t-shirts.
00:46:38.000So you praise Che Guevara, but let's feel bad for this lady who's the victim of a country being shitty.
00:47:56.000When people say I take every issue individually, that's a stupid person.
00:48:00.000You should look at individual facts and data, but you have to understand that you can't fill an ism vacuum, leftism, progressivism, atheism, with libertarian ideas.
00:50:27.000It actually had more of an impact than you realize.
00:50:29.000And it's really just the example that we caught.
00:50:32.000But when you had intelligence officials, right, the institutions that you should trust, when they said, hey, this is Russian disinformation, and there's no excuse for that, they knew it was false.
00:50:44.000So not only did it discredit the story, but leading up to a very consequential election, it portrayed the side that was telling the truth, everyone here, as fake news, right?
00:50:55.000For a period of time, people go, oh my god.
00:50:57.000Well, Donald Trump and his supporters will stop at nothing.
00:51:00.000They'll actually try and destroy the reputation of an innocent son by fabricating a laptop scandal?
00:51:13.000I actually think you should go further.
00:51:14.000I think those people should absolutely be investigated, and someone needs to do some serious time in prison over that, as opposed to people who took an invited walking tour.
00:51:23.000Contrast this, what we're just doing with red tape, Biden.
00:51:27.000He, obviously, he was forwarding DEI in the federal workforce.
00:51:31.000He locked in the work-from-home rules for the federal employees.
00:51:35.000This was the guy who added 70-something thousand employees to the IRS. Remember how surprising that was?
00:52:07.000He's going to be, of course, like we said, the two big things he could do would be border...
00:52:11.000And we said, you know, if he could do something as it relates to government censorship, so I'm glad to see that he did that.
00:52:16.000That can affect your day-to-day as far as prices.
00:52:18.000That can affect your day on everything, because energy affects everything.
00:52:21.000And of course, a lot of people don't take into account the, not just the crime, but the supply and demand of having a bunch of illegal aliens in this country, undercutting Americans, both as employees and as consumers.
00:52:32.000So as it relates to American energy, he opened up Alaska.
00:52:35.000A lot of other federal land for more exploration, production.
00:52:38.000He canceled all the offshore wind leases.
00:52:41.000Most of that is government subsidized, and it sucks, and it kills birds.
00:52:44.000He withdrew from pretty much every notable international environmental agreement, so the Paris Climate Accord.
00:52:50.000I'm hoping that Elon Musk doesn't leave this time.
00:52:52.000That's why he left the administration in the last term, because he really, really pushed for the Paris Climate Accord.
00:52:58.000That's why I'm a little bit skeptical.
00:53:00.000Donald Trump revoked any of the agreements under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
00:53:05.000There are a bunch of kind of sub-clauses there.
00:53:07.000He revoked the United States International Climate Finance Plan, and he also canceled Biden's EV mandate, which, by the way, has been catastrophic for the auto industry.
00:53:15.000You want an EV? Go ahead and be gay to your heart's content.
00:53:18.000But don't force us to have to buy them.
00:54:01.000It used to be, why do you hate the earth?
00:54:03.000Now everyone kind of knows what we've been saying, what I've been saying at least since 2009. Right now, you're going to get the energy from somewhere.
00:54:10.000Why do you want to get it from across the ocean in a country that has no EPA? Right, no regulations on how they do it.
00:54:17.000That's the difference between us and them.
00:54:18.000When you try to designate China as a developing nation, Right.
00:54:22.000And same breath, call them our stiffest competition, our biggest foe.
00:55:51.000Yeah, this is the representative of the WHO in the middle of COVID where I didn't even know you could just do this where you could just fake like you didn't hear a question and hang up.
00:55:59.000The WHO considered Taiwan's membership.
00:57:28.000By the way, I wonder where he got that idea.
00:57:33.000And keep in mind, back then, suspended on YouTube, banned from, I believe, that campus, at least a handful of camp, I don't know how you say it, a handful of schools, and, of course, demonetized on YouTube.
00:57:46.000Our ability to make a living changed entirely.
00:57:48.000That's why it went to Mug Club, now Rumble Premium, because it started with, changed my mind, there are only two genders, and male privilege is a myth.
00:57:55.000That was back in 2016, 2017. That's the shift.
00:57:58.000Now, it's an actual official position of the government.
00:58:02.000You weren't even allowed to say it or suggest it on social media in 2016. See the difference?
00:58:10.000Also reinstated, the military trans ban.
00:59:48.000I really hope we look back at this time in history and just go, hey, you want to know how bad it was in 2022 and just show Rachel Levine's picture?
00:59:56.000Who do you think was in charge of some kind of government?
01:00:45.000On TikTok, this is a big one, a hot-button issue.
01:00:47.000He signed an executive order extending the deadline by at least 75 days.
01:00:52.000And here's the thing, like I've said in the past, the best-case scenario would be an American company become the primary stakeholder of TikTok and ideally get access to those algorithms and do away with the Chinese propaganda and expose it for what it is.
01:01:05.000Barring that, and China doesn't want that, then it needs to be banned because it's not the same as...
01:01:11.000A private company censoring your point of view at the behest of the government as Facebook did and Twitter did.
01:01:18.000This is a foreign adversarial government Using glorified spyware.
01:01:23.000So I do hope that it finds its way into the hands of some Americans.
01:01:28.000But this, right now, this extension would allow TikTok to maybe do that, which Donald Trump did say, and the media tried to misrepresent this, where they tried to say that he was saying the government should own TikTok.
01:01:38.000He clarified later, but he said it should be at least 50% owned by a United States company.
01:03:29.000Well, the reason it's tough to believe is because in March of 2023, they said, China will resolutely oppose it, and that's hard word to say.
01:04:05.000And remember, TikTok is largely about kids, young kids.
01:04:10.000If China's going to get information about young kids, I don't know.
01:04:15.000To be honest, I think we have bigger problems than that.
01:04:18.000But, you know, when you take a look at telephones that are made in China and all the other things that are made in China, military equipment made in China, TikTok, I think TikTok is not their biggest problem.
01:04:32.000And the thing I dislike most that's made in China...
01:05:22.000Do you want it to be, insert any other nation here?
01:05:26.000His positions, his executive orders were reducing.
01:05:29.000Reducing our independence, reducing our strength, placing quotas and equity over equal opportunity and merit-based systems that have always existed since the beginning of the United States because that's what this country is supposed to be about.
01:05:44.000We're now in a culture where Donald Trump and the people who voted him in have said, you know what, we're not going to be ashamed of being the greatest country on earth right now.
01:05:55.000We used to be proud to be the greatest country and we should be proud again to be the greatest country and we need to take some steps to ensure that we remain the greatest country.
01:06:03.000It's two very different worldviews and it really does come down to America, Western civilization, good and America, Western civilization, bad or maybe equal to other cultures but we need to allow every single member of The other said equal cultures.
01:06:49.000Biden had replaced the bust of Churchill with Chamberlain's tiny penis.
01:06:52.000That's what he had at the White House It looks familiar to be honest Think of the mindset to go into the White House and go, can we get rid of anything that has to do with Churchill?
01:07:07.000I don't want people thinking I'm a Churchill fan.
01:07:19.000Didn't support socialized health care.
01:07:22.000He said there's going to be another Hitler.
01:07:23.000There's going to be another world war.
01:07:25.000Now, for all of his flaws and many flaws with Churchill.
01:07:28.000The reason that that bus was removed was, again, the same reason that you saw those executive actions from Biden opening up the border, shutting down our energy.
01:07:37.000We don't want to remind anyone of the fact that we're 2-0 in world wars, that we have more energy than any other country, that we have been the only country in the history of the world.
01:07:48.000Who left, fought the world's only superpower one century to become the world's only superpower the next century.
01:08:16.000seems to be going around because we've even had quite a few issues with maybe a little too many in our own office all right executive order number 42 there will be no more mentions of notre dame in the lateral crowder office Signed and stamped with the official seal of the CEO. What are you doing?
