00:03:26.000Let's just fill you on the rundown here today.
00:03:29.000Donald Trump, President Trump, he detransitioned Title IX. We'll get into that executive order, rightfully so.
00:03:36.000Yesterday we covered what was happening with USAID, USAID, however you want to pronounce it.
00:03:42.000The propaganda funding, there's some misinformation out there.
00:03:45.000We 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.
00:03:51.000But 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.
00:05:48.000Your 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.
00:08:40.000Yesterday, 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?
00:08:50.000Because no one will understand why this was necessary.
00:08:53.000So yesterday, on National Girls and Women's Sports Day, President Trump signed the titled Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports Executive Order.
00:09:08.000Under the Trump administration, we will defend the proud tradition of female athletes and we will not allow men.
00:09:16.000To beat up, injure, and cheat our women and our girls.
00:09:19.000From now on, women's sports will be only for women.
00:10:27.000I've been talking about this for quite a while.
00:10:28.000And yeah, Title IX has all kinds of problems.
00:10:30.000But 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.
00:10:37.000Because this is a fundamental shift, and this is what the left sees as a violation of human rights.
00:10:42.000I don't think they have a grasp at all on what human rights are.
00:10:45.000So, Title IX. It was designed to prevent sex-based discrimination in education, and specifically activities that would be receiving federal funding.
00:10:55.000So 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.
00:12:58.000We're simply talking, it's very comparable to white classes, and entirely as appropriate.
00:13:04.000So 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.
00:15:27.000So 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.
00:15:36.000That brings us to another then, again, the Biden administration.
00:15:42.000They reinstated the trans protections, which were rescinded in Donald Trump's first term.
00:15:46.000They expanded harassment to include misgendering.
00:15:50.000So we went from harassment to mean something.
00:15:54.000It 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.
00:16:16.000They 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.
00:17:10.000It 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.
00:17:19.000So this would include the International Olympic Committee.
00:18:14.000bye 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.
00:19:28.000There 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.
00:19:36.000And the truth is, yes, a lot of different entities, news agencies, have been receiving taxpayer funds.
00:19:41.000In a way that is completely inappropriate, I would argue violates the First Amendment.
00:19:45.000And I want you to know that we did cover it live.
00:19:47.000There'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.
00:20:00.000Yesterday, this was breaking as we were on air, the Politico USAID funding.
00:20:05.000Apparently this came out about Politico.
00:20:08.000Politico, I think, received $8.1 million in government funding.
00:20:13.000And also of note, apparently Politico just missed payroll.
00:20:34.000So here's what you are seeing out there, that Politico got $8 million from USAID in 2024. Right here, we can bring this up.
00:20:42.000It says, Politico is owned by Axel Springer, which in turn owns Business Insider, which publishes attack journalism, whose targets have included Elon Musk.
00:20:48.000So the $8.1 million that Politico received last year from USAID has been used to support the owner of Business Insider and its efforts.
00:21:02.000And 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.
00:21:10.000It's just a couple hundred thousand dollars.
00:21:25.000That means that more government agencies were giving Politico money for their hackery.
00:21:30.000About $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.
00:21:38.000It is still $8 million, but the left will fact check that number is coming from USAID as false.
00:21:44.000I 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.
00:21:56.000On 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.
00:22:07.000I was made aware of the funding from USAID to media outlets, including Politico, who I know has a seat in this room.
00:22:17.000And 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.
00:22:27.000The Doge team is working on canceling those payments now.
00:22:30.000Again, this is a whole-of-government effort to ensure that...
00:22:34.000We are going line by line when it comes to the federal government's books.
00:22:39.000And this president and his team are making decisions across the board on do these receipts serve the interests of the American people?
00:22:49.000Is this a good use of the American taxpayers' money?
00:22:52.000If it is not, that funding will no longer be sent abroad and American taxpayers will see significant savings because of that effort.
00:25:03.000The fact that the Trump administration is focused...
00:25:06.000On slashing relatively small media budgets at the outset of Trump's second term speaks to how seriously targeting media companies is their priority.
00:25:50.000How 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?
00:26:02.000I don't care if it's $2 or if it's $2 billion.
00:26:05.000Bet my life it's at least $2 billion overall.
00:26:11.000There'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.
00:33:24.000If the government is funding you, if the government is what allows you to exist, would you imagine that that entity is beholden to government?
00:33:34.000Would you imagine that they've invested interest in larger government?
00:33:38.000Do you think that BBC, Politico, AP, do you think they're ever going to allow legitimate articles to go out advocating for less government?
00:33:49.000Or advocating for downsizing government?
00:33:52.000Or advocating for rooting out fraud in government?
00:33:56.000If you even started an op-ed, the boss at AP or BBC would walk down to your office, what are you doing?
00:34:05.000One 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.
00:34:10.000It was available in 2020, in 2022, in 2024. And I'm saying, all this information has been public!
00:34:16.000And it took Elon Musk coming in to start exposing it.
00:34:36.000If 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.
00:35:50.000To contract private companies to generate that report.
00:35:54.000And 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.
00:36:07.000Taxpayer dollars generate a false report that this is misinformation.
00:36:13.000And that goes to big tech, and they say, aye, aye, Captain.
00:36:42.000I 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.
00:36:49.000Where they show CNN and they show CBS News and all that?
00:38:18.000That 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.
00:38:32.000It'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.
00:38:48.000And, 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.
00:38:59.000So, 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...
00:39:12.000That makes it pretty scary when you understand what the role of a court jester is actually supposed to be.
00:39:16.000So let's, I think we have this montage right here from late night shows, some verbatim jokes to start off with.
00:39:24.000And not just verbatim jokes, but watch the RFK Jr., this story, went on all day.
00:40:04.000Okay, that behavior is disgusting and cruel, and it completely disqualifies him from working for HHS and for Jamba Juice.
00:40:13.000His 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.
00:40:24.000His basement, his garage, his dorm room were always the center of the action.
00:40:29.000Where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.
00:40:37.000Well, that explains why he lost the job at Jamba Juice.
00:40:40.000So 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.
00:41:00.000You know, on Friday, the Wall Street Journal ran an editorial saying that Trump's tariffs would cause the, quote, dumbest trade war in history.
00:41:08.000Of course, that was published before Dallas sent Luka Doncic to the...
00:41:45.000You 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.
00:41:56.000But does anyone at this point doubt that these people are puppets, folks who tell them what to do?
00:42:59.000But 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.
00:43:11.000You would never have been told that Canada agreed to start helping securing the border.
00:43:19.000Spoiler alert, just this afternoon, right?
00:43:23.000After 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.
00:43:47.000Now 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.
00:43:55.000Of 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...
00:44:11.000Now, go to the liberal message boards.
00:44:13.000Go to Democratic Underground, if you can create an account.
00:46:38.000Every 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.
00:46:49.000It's basically just a character assessment.
00:46:51.000It has nothing to do with the hearings.
00:46:52.000They all settled on that exactly, and then all said a Jamba Juice joke.
00:46:58.000Well, that's the thing is that they didn't go through all that footage.
00:47:01.000They'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.
00:47:07.000They're not watching the whole day of the RFK hearings.
00:47:09.000They're getting an email that goes, hey, look what happened in the RFK hearings.
00:47:11.000And they go, oh, let's write a joke about the onesie thing.
00:50:28.000The Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and beautiful communities with new and modern homes in the region.
00:50:37.000They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free.
00:50:44.000The 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.
00:50:57.000No soldiers by the US would be needed.
00:51:00.000Stability for the region would reign three exclamation marks.
00:52:02.000It took place across the country, but again, you probably didn't know about it.
00:52:06.000It 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.
00:52:28.000All fascist countries, as they get more and more authoritarian, they tend to go in that direction.
00:52:34.000This is the RevCom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity, and I'm into New York's postcard.
00:52:39.000The RevCom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity sees what's happening right now is the imposition of a fascist regime.
00:52:49.000You 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.
