Jon Stewart and John Stewart go head-to-head on tariffs, trans athletes, and the H1B scam. Plus, we have a new Mug Club Undercover exclusive with a "not a whistleblower" who fills us in on how H1Bs are used to screw the American workers.
00:02:23.000There's not a whole lot more to say about that.
00:02:25.000Let me just tell you, today we have a new Mug Club Undercover, an exclusive, with a meta, I keep wanting to say Facebook, just like I keep wanting to say Twitter, a meta insider who fills us in on how they use the H-1B scam to cheat Americans out of good-paying jobs that should be reserved for Americans, as well as pretty much have what are effectively modern indentured servants.
00:02:53.000And we'll also be talking about today, well, it's rebuttal day.
00:03:01.000He wants to make the case that, hey, this is a culture issue that you have blown out of proportion and then spends 42 minutes gaslighting you into why it's pivotal that we allow biological men to compete in women's sports.
00:03:14.000Mug Club undercover and two rebuttals.
00:05:54.000Trump wants every single one of these checks to have his signature on them.
00:05:59.000Which would be the first time He's ever put his name on something helpful.
00:06:04.000Dumbest thing, he's decided to put his name on something really dumb.
00:06:08.000Brilliant! Do you ever think about calling Trump and suggesting ways that he could do better?
00:06:16.000Never allowed any crisis from the Civil War straight through to the pandemic of 17, all the way around 16. We have never, never let our democracy forsake second place.
00:06:40.000It's not easy to work It's not easy to work It's not easy to work

00:08:34.000Now, before we go to the rebuttal, John Stewart and John Oliver, in Exhibit A as to why we need the tariffs against the Chinese, there's a new Chinese propaganda video that came out.
00:08:49.000Just to refresh your memory, do you guys remember we ran this clip a little while back?
00:12:31.000And this is the paper tiger that is China.
00:12:33.000Everyone in finance was telling us for the longest time they're going to become the next great superpower.
00:12:37.000If you believe that and they can't even create student-level film quality with the funds from the Communist Chinese Party, all right, you know what?
00:12:47.000I think we're going to be able to We're going to be able to ride this storm, weather it a little bit as it relates to tariffs.
00:12:53.000If that's the best that they can come up with.
00:13:10.000It's just a silly, it's a silly country.
00:13:13.000With silly people, and any Westerner who says that they respect or revere Eastern medicine and tries to point me to some Chinese herbal supplement will be immediately slapped.
00:13:31.000Alright, let's go to Jon Stewart on tariffs.
00:13:35.000We're going to hit Jon Stewart and Jon Oliver because the propaganda has really kicked into overdrive.
00:13:41.000Look, Jon Stewart, He's talking about tariffs.
00:13:46.000I'm trying to think of how to set this up because pretty much everything he says is wrong and he kind of encapsulates what we told you would happen regarding the worldview.
00:13:54.000Just as you watch this, remember, anti-American.
00:13:58.000And that was a term that was thrown around a lot, but I mean it here.
00:14:02.000So. Let's first go to the media and see exactly what they are saying.
00:14:07.000So you can see that Jon Stewart is also carrying their water regarding this Donald Trump New World Order.
00:14:14.000That's how they're describing it, right?
00:14:16.000Which, by the way, was coined by Bush Sr.
00:14:17.000They're saying he's trying to create a New World Order.
00:14:19.000No, he's trying to destroy what was the New World Order as far as globalism, global non-free trade, and of course, because they don't care about you, the American worker, the American business owner.
00:14:31.000Here's a media montage starting with Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.
00:14:35.000Where do you see the balance going forward for the president to start having a negative cost to this reframing of the world economic order?
00:14:47.000There's a longer term plan to create a new world order.
00:15:32.000He looks like if you go to the optometrist's office and they put the glasses on that faceless head to showcase the glasses, only the optometrist's office had a fire.
00:17:23.000And by the way, just because we're the richest country when you have some people who are insanely wealthy doesn't mean that you are and doesn't mean that you are not being affected.
00:17:44.000They say the United States can afford it.
00:17:46.000When they are saying the United States can afford it, whether it is USAID, whether it is the IRS, CIA, FBI, whether it's our spending into NATO, UN, whether it's what we send to other nations, whether it's how we are subsidizing these illegal immigrants in this country, what they are really saying when they say the U.S. can afford it is the American worker can afford it.
00:18:09.000And that includes those who are employees and small business owners.
00:18:39.000You! In fact, this is the problem with class warfare, which you can go back to Bernie Sanders.
00:18:43.000The idea that someone rich must be inherently bad.
00:18:46.000Look, just because we can afford it doesn't mean it's right to steal from us.
00:18:51.000If you live in a good neighborhood and the nicest house on the block with the wealthiest people on the block are incredibly generous, they hand out baked goods, they constantly come over and ask if you need anything, they give you their old clothes, their hand-me-downs.
00:19:04.000Does it make it right for you to rob their house just because it's the nicest, most expensive one?
00:19:12.000The amount of wealth that I have, or Gerald has, or Josh has, or anyone in this room is completely irrelevant to the morality of your actions, Germany, Mexico, China.
00:19:25.000Let's continue with his argument on tariffs.
00:19:45.000And I'm not saying we can't make adjustments and renegotiate things, but it didn't have to be this reckless.
00:19:51.000You killed the hostage and then went, so, ransom?
00:19:55.000Okay, it's a funny joke, but here's the truth.
00:19:58.000The system Has not only outlived its useful purpose, yes, we are the wealthiest country in the world, post-World War II, but it's now morphed.
00:20:15.000It's now a cancerous growth, meaning the rest of the world.
00:20:18.000Yes, this system was created because we had the Cold War.
00:20:21.000Right at that point, the United States would help other economies in exchange for really some kind of guarantee as it relates to international security or influence.
00:20:30.000It was choose the United States over the Soviets.
00:20:32.000Now, the Soviet Union, before we get to the fact that it no longer exists, let's take into account that that's kind of the reason for some of these agreements.
00:20:40.000All right, we'll make a sacrifice if you choose the United States over the Soviet Union.
00:20:44.000But we now find ourselves at the point, or as John Short describes it, we're not the ones being taken advantage of.
00:20:50.000We now find ourselves at the point It's your own fault.
00:21:59.000Rich, to some degree, in spite of this ongoing agreement, like you said, it makes no difference, but what would $20 trillion back into our economy look like?
00:22:09.000Do you think those inequalities might be a little easier to deal with if $20 trillion was here instead of overseas since 2003?
00:22:15.000That's that differential we talked about yesterday?
00:22:43.000We create more jobs in China than they create here.
00:22:45.000Since 2001, the United States has lost 4 million jobs to China alone.
00:22:50.000You, the American worker, you subsidize this system.
00:22:53.000All references, links in the description.
00:22:55.000To give you an idea how perverse this has become, as we sit here and we bitch about tariffs and the catastrophe, even though I believe the S&P close slightly higher than it opened yesterday.
00:23:05.000To give you an idea, the United States Navy, in protecting cargo ships, literally maintains the communist dictatorship of China.
00:23:45.000And here's the third key truth that, of course, the left never really even takes into consideration.
00:23:51.000It's not the only thing that matters, but at a certain point when you do look at the debt which is being driven up through this system in 1991, we had about a $3.6 trillion debt.
00:24:06.000The interest payments alone are more than the military budget.
00:24:10.000At what point do you say, hey, hey, hold on, wait a second.
00:24:14.000The interest payments we're borrowing to fund this military that maintains these foreign adversaries abroad, how much, by the way, we're also spending money into NATO that no one else is spending.
00:24:25.000They're not, I believe Poland and maybe France are the only two exceptions now that Donald Trump stepped up.
00:24:29.000So they're not actually funding the military.
00:24:31.000They're not having to borrow money to protect the rest of the free world.
00:24:36.000Oh yeah, Germany, you're given free internet and you guys are given free socialization and what, 19 weeks paid vacation while you bitch about how the United States is a meritocracy?
00:28:17.000Listen, I'm not even going there, but I'm just saying it's so ironic.
00:28:20.000They're like, I can't believe you would do something to the world order and try to turn things over and it's going to throw the economy into a tailspin.
00:28:25.000It's not even clear that that's actually going to happen.
00:28:28.000But you did it voluntarily last time with more information on why you shouldn't have done it.
00:28:43.000Now, you may have some presidencies where depending when someone leaves, if it takes a sharp downturn or a sharp spike, but it's kind of the issue over which the president has the least amount of control.
00:28:51.000It is one metric that you take into consideration.
00:28:54.000More important ones as far as how it affects you would be things like labor force participation.
00:28:59.000Average household income, for example, we saw that go up by over $4,000 in the first Donald Trump presidency.
00:29:05.000We saw it go down by $4,000 in the Biden presidency.
00:29:09.000The stock market's always going to have some volatility, especially when you have to correct course, because we have a system in which the rest of the world mooches off of you, the American worker.
00:29:18.000But hey, crashing the economy on purpose?
00:29:20.000I don't know if you know this, the March jobs report, this was something nobody expected in the media, came in way above expectations.
00:30:24.000People like Jon Stewart and the media status quo more money.
00:30:28.000They want to continue the status quo of the global economic system where they're actually bemoaning the idea that Donald Trump is destroying, according to their words, this new world order to establish a newer new world order.
00:30:39.000They're saying the quiet part out loud.
00:30:41.000It used to be considered a conspiracy theory if you referred to the new world order or if you talked about globalism.
00:30:46.000They are now advocating for globalism.
00:30:50.000Okay. We have to borrow from China a communist dictatorship to finance our debt and then use that debt to finance our military to protect Chinese shipping while they put tariffs on our goods.
00:31:06.000We subsidize Europe's defense against Russia entirely because they don't spend into NATO while...
00:31:13.000They demand that we spend more of our money on never-ending supply.
00:31:16.000One of our greatest sins was finally pinching that valve, shutting off the tap on money to Ukraine while they put duties and tariffs on fossil fuel exports from the United States and spend more money on Russian energy than they did supporting Ukraine.
00:32:04.000And China is supposed to overtake us at some point and we're supposed to just sleepwalk into a moment where China now has all of the leverage over us and militarily would catch up to us at some point?
00:32:15.000And by the way, there are people out there like Bill Ackman saying, well, Trump should have just done like a 30, 60 or a 90 day pause so that he could negotiate.
00:33:56.000It's basically, this is a cultural issue that has been made one by Americans, by fascist people on the right, and then spends 42 minutes making the case for why biological males should be allowed to compete in women's sports.
00:34:11.000Because the left just can't help themselves and know whenever you fill in that ballot, Whenever you pull that lever for a Democrat, you are pulling it for exactly this kind of a society.
00:35:17.000Trans athletes, why are you making it an issue?
00:35:20.000Said the man who created a 42-minute installment defending it.
00:35:25.000People have strong opinions on this subject.
00:35:27.000In our post-election show, I said there are vanishingly few trans girls competing in high school sports anywhere, and even if there were more, trans kids, like all kids, vary in athletic ability, and there is no evidence that they pose any threat to safety or fairness.
00:35:40.000I stand by everything I said in that episode, but I will concede...
00:35:47.000people should just use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity.
00:36:51.000That banning trans people in sports is damaging to trans kids.
00:36:57.000The bulk of the damage here is being done to trans kids.
00:37:00.000Because one thing we know for sure is that for all kids, the benefits, physiological, social, and emotional, of participating in school sports, teams, and athletics are wide-ranging.
00:37:11.000And to hear trans kids themselves tell it, participation can be especially important to their feeling of community and sense of self.
00:37:35.000We'll get to the women in a second, but just trans kids.
00:37:38.000Hormone blockers can cause irreversible damage For example, some of them never go through puberty Not to mention the risk of osteoporosis And of course, as we're going to discover more and more The more science that comes in Cancer The body tries to close fake vaginas as a permanent wound cavity Hope you enjoy your gluteus 80% of male to female trans individuals can never achieve sexual climax.
00:38:00.000To me, it's kind of odd that we allow kids to make decisions regarding their permanent sexual ability even though they don't have the legal right to consent to sex.
00:38:08.00042% of trans individuals have attempted suicide.
00:38:12.000And a new study from February of this year showed us that gender surgery was associated with a significantly higher risk of suicidal ideation.
00:38:31.000We're talking about competitive sports.
00:38:33.000And competitive sports are not about how you feel.
00:38:36.000This is the extension of the participation trophy, of the evening out the scoreboard, because we took the essence of sports, which are effectively meant to mimic battle in some capacity or war in some capacity.
00:39:46.000Transgender Day of Visibility, Transgender Week of Visibility and Action, Transgender Awareness Week, Transgender Day of Remembrance, like they were out there on D-Day in the trenches with Mardi Gras beads.
00:40:39.000And you looked so good when you played Xerxes for Cultural Appropriation Month, I was thinking that maybe you should dress up like Xerxes again!
00:42:03.000You can read all the studies that have been published in regards to cold, rhinovirus, even COVID and how effective it is in deactivating it in your nasal cavity.
00:44:35.000In running, biological male college runner set two records for both the 200 and 300 meter events, would be ranked 1619th as a man.
00:44:44.000In cycling, a biological male won a woman's championship and set the world record while doing it.
00:44:49.000In weightlifting, the trans powerlifter, I think the name was Anne Andres, set the Canadian national record for the women's deadlift, 597.5 kilograms, beat the opponent by over 200 kilograms.
00:47:23.000And I can give you a bunch of examples of biological males using women's locker rooms to expose themselves, including Leah Thomas, by the way, who's addressed in there.
00:49:49.000I don't really need to go through them.
00:49:51.000Either you accept reality or you don't at this point.
00:49:54.000Here's the next claim, and this is one that they always try and make.
00:49:57.000And I really want to laser on this point because this is how they try and trick people who don't have enough time in the day to be informed on all of the micro data points.
00:50:08.000He'll try and tell you, and it's a lie, that there is not enough data out there to say that trans athletes even have an advantage.
00:50:17.000We spoke to scientists on all sides of this issue, and the one thing they actually agree on...
00:50:22.000Is that in part because the number of trans athletes is so small, the body of research specifically about them is extremely limited.
00:50:29.000There are a bunch of studies comparing specific anatomical features like muscle mass in women who transition, but which don't directly speak to their impact on athletic performance.
00:50:39.000But we were only able to find 12 studies that actually tested trans adult women's physical fitness in a lab or other performance scenario.
00:50:46.000Eight have a sample size of less than 20 and two are of a single athlete.
00:51:15.000Ignoring a completely realistic, long-standing solution like separating.
00:51:20.000Male and female sports in favor of an idealized one that can never actually be created and can never actually exist because you won't have enough data and no one actually wants to include the realistic data.
00:51:30.000Also, at this point, not every sport has the same standards.
00:51:35.000You may not necessarily have as much of an advantage in one, but let me just use like, I don't know, maybe sort of top tier, like top end where I would think this is significant.
00:51:43.000You know, the Olympics, you know what's required?
00:52:14.000You can study something in isolation in a lab.
00:52:18.000And they'll do that sometimes to try and trick you with data on women's sports and they'll say something like, well, actually, after you've undergone hormone blockers and after you've undergone hormone replacement therapy, the data shows that their hormone levels are similar.
00:54:17.000What happens now that you change reaction time?
00:54:18.000What happens now that you change anaerobic capacity and the ability to maintain power because of your lung capacity?
00:54:24.000What happens when you add all of this?
00:54:27.000Well, the good news is, in this specific example, the woman who was held out as can punch just as strong as a man fought a man, and you guessed it, got the shit kicked out of her.
00:55:17.000As scripture tells us, men are men and women are women and God is his own son and some mothers are virgins and some mothers-in-law are pillars of salt and some daughters are sex partners and colourful coats are dream tellers and brothers are murderers but also brothers are backup husbands for wives and babies can be for splitting in half and water is wine and also with you, sorry, and with your spirit.
00:55:40.000That's right, you know, all morality is relative and so you can create a godless vacuum in your home country where you end up with another religion that fills said vacuum and you end up with no-go zones where people who are from your own country, your own people who you're supposed to be protecting can no longer visit their own home cities because they are no-go zones and people have child brides and a rape epidemic.
00:55:58.000You know, I don't know, we could just do that and mock something as silly.
00:56:01.000I would say you can comment below that modern progressivism is far sillier than the moral ethics taught.
00:56:20.000Because whenever the left says, oh, we're not really turning this into an issue, just like they did with the last election, Kamala Harris, well, I didn't say that...
00:56:28.000Males in female prisons should get taxpayer-funded sex changes.
00:56:36.000When the data doesn't pan out, when the science doesn't pan out, when the results don't pan out, when it turns out that these pseudo-feminists are actually supporting policies that will result in the physical injury.
00:56:49.000Of the women they claim to support, what do they do?
00:56:53.000It's all one big giant appeal to illogical, irrational emotion.
00:56:58.000If you are someone for whom this is just about the integrity of competition, and for a lot of the loudest people pushing this, I don't think it is, but if that is the case for you, then I do acknowledge we're going to disagree about some things.
00:57:14.000But the one thing I'd ask of you is that you recognize the ugliness.
00:57:18.000Of how this issue gets discussed and how it's being cynically used by some to advance the eradication of trans people generally.
00:57:26.000Just to be clear, I'm not happy to watch women experience injury, humiliation and a loss of sporting opportunities.
00:57:33.000But that includes trans women and kids.
00:58:19.000John Oliver, to the progressives out there, you're not going to make me feel guilty.
00:58:24.000Not only do I not think that biological men should compete in women's sports, not only do I think that biological men should not be in women's prisons or restrooms, if it means I'm denying the existence and I'm unempathetic because I don't decide to coddle a delusion which firmly plants these people in a 42% attempted suicide demographic, fine. I don't acknowledge the existence of the very concept of a trans woman.
00:59:35.000Now we're moving on to an exclusive here.
00:59:38.000And for those of you who are watching, And you are not Rumble Premium members, you can continue to Tim Pool after this.
00:59:45.000And if you are a Rumble Premium member, you will be able to watch all of this before it's released and disseminated online.
00:59:50.000This is a Mug Club Undercover exclusive here, and it is entirely supported.
00:59:55.000We can only do this because of your memberships.
00:59:56.000This is not something that most sponsors want to touch.
00:59:58.000This is not something that will ever be permitted to be monetized.
01:00:00.000And on YouTube, by the way, investigative journalism can be taken down if the person who's being investigated doesn't like it.
01:00:06.000Investigative journalism is dead on YouTube.
01:00:08.000So. Around the new year, a huge debate broke out, including amongst the right, on H-1B visas and how big tech abuses them and whether we should continue with the system or some people on the right advocated removing the cap completely or if they hurt American workers.
01:00:28.000So, according to the Department of Labor's website, this is how they describe it.
01:00:33.000The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire non-immigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability.
01:02:11.000So the H-1B visas, these companies are only supposed to be able to hire people after they've tried to hire U.S. people and have been unsuccessful.
01:02:24.000In order to like get an H1B visa for someone from another country, you have to first put out your job listing to be American citizens and say we couldn't find any qualified American citizens for this job so we have to get this guy from India and that's why he needs it.
