Louder with Crowder - 🔴 Trump's Hitlist Grows: USAID, Dept. of Education, CIA, and... Gaza?

00:00:00.000 Well kids, here's another story from Dr. Hoffman's Pretty Stories and Funny Pictures.

00:00:16.000 This one is the story of Augustus who would not have any soup.

00:00:22.000 Okay?

00:00:24.000 Augustus was a chubby lad.

00:00:25.000 Fat, ruddy cheeks Augustus had. 0.96

00:00:28.000 Ooh, that's fat shaming.

00:00:30.000 Well, it gets better.

00:00:32.000 And everybody saw with joy the plump and hearty, healthy boy.

00:00:36.000 See, it's not fat shaming after all.

00:00:38.000 He ate and drank as he was told and never let his soup get cold.

00:00:43.000 But one day, one cold winter's day, he screamed out, take the soup away.

00:00:50.000 Oh, take the nasty soup away. 1.00

00:00:53.000 I won't have any soup today.

00:00:55.000 I know something's wrong with the soup, I guess.

00:00:58.000 Next day, now look.

00:01:00.000 The picture shows how lank and lean Augustus grows.

00:01:04.000 Look.

00:01:05.000 See?

00:01:06.000 This could be marketing.

00:01:10.000 Yet though he feels so weak and ill, the fellow cries out still, Not any soup for me, I say.

00:01:18.000 Oh, take the nasty soup away. 1.00

00:01:21.000 I won't have any soup today.

00:01:23.000 Now, you know, this is either some really, really horrible soup or a terribly effective, very marketable weight loss.

00:01:32.000 The third day comes.

00:01:34.000 What a sin to make himself so pale and thin.

00:01:37.000 Yet, when the soup is put on the table, he screams as loud as he is able.

00:01:43.000 Not any soup for me, I say.

00:01:45.000 Oh, take the nasty soup away. 1.00

00:01:47.000 I won't have any soup today.

00:01:50.000 This is just terrible.

00:01:51.000 Look at him.

00:01:53.000 Now the fourth day has come.

00:01:55.000 He scarcely weighs a sugar plum.

00:01:59.000 He's like a little bit of thread.

00:02:01.000 And on the fifth day, he was dead.

00:02:06.000 So, gallon of milk a day.

00:02:09.000 You kids remember that.

00:02:11.000 gallon of milk a day.

00:02:38.000 Outro Music

00:03:07.000 Outro Music All right, I'm glad to be with you.

00:03:18.000 I just got to tell you today, we're going to be talking about defunding, killing, if you will, the Department of Education.

00:03:26.000 Yes, I'm pro that.

00:03:27.000 We're going to be talking about the art of the deal as it relates to Gaza. 0.80

00:03:29.000 A little iffy.

00:03:32.000 USAID fallout is continuing.

00:03:34.000 This man is delivering on his promises, but I'm excited about something here.

00:03:38.000 This is an exclusive to us, and I say this without a hint of hyperbole.

00:03:42.000 It is the best... 0.76

00:03:44.000 Child predator sexual criminal sting of all time.

00:03:50.000 You couldn't sketch it out funnier than this, and it has a happy ending, okay?

00:03:54.000 Just to be clear.

00:03:56.000 I couldn't stop.

00:03:57.000 I couldn't breathe this morning.

00:03:59.000 So I guarantee you at some point during that segment, the people out there undercover, they're doing the Lord's work.

00:04:27.000 What would you cut in the federal government?

00:04:29.000 Like, what would be next for you?

00:04:31.000 What would you get rid of?

00:04:32.000 What would you axe?

00:04:33.000 What would you give the boot?

00:04:35.000 I say everything.

00:04:36.000 Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?

00:04:38.000 I'm good, how are you?

00:04:38.000 Good.

00:04:39.000 And Josh Feierstein, you are here, sir.

00:04:41.000 I am here.

00:04:42.000 You're going to be in Spokane, Washington Comedy Clubs.

00:04:44.000 That's this weekend.

00:04:45.000 This weekend.

00:04:45.000 Friday and Saturday.

00:04:46.000 This weekend.

00:04:47.000 Four shows, come on.

00:04:47.000 You guys saw The Predator Sting, right?

00:04:49.000 Yes.

00:04:49.000 It has nothing to do with my show.

00:04:51.000 Was it?

00:04:51.000 I said it was awesome.

00:04:52.000 Am I overselling it?

00:04:53.000 No.

00:04:54.000 No, it's funny.

00:04:55.000 It really is.

00:04:56.000 Yeah, I thought it was fake at first.

00:04:58.000 Okay, a little teaser.

00:04:59.000 The phrase actually, this phrase actually takes place.

00:05:02.000 I wasn't going to do nothing.

00:05:03.000 I was just going to tell her to stay in school and stuff.

00:05:08.000 Stop smoking cigarettes.

00:05:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:05:11.000 Drink milk.

00:05:13.000 Don't play with blasting caps.

00:05:15.000 You know, good.

00:05:16.000 Drink milk, don't end up on the side of one.

00:05:18.000 Yes, yes.

00:05:20.000 It is just, I'm looking forward to presenting this.

00:05:23.000 And it's all supported by viewers like you.

00:05:25.000 Thank you, Milk Club Rumble Premium. 0.99

00:05:26.000 Okay, so, the two dumbest broads in Congress, they were doing what dumb broads do the last couple of days. 0.98

00:05:33.000 days, so it's time for the most recent installment of Who Did It Worse? 0.99

00:05:40.000 All right.

00:05:44.000 Is one of the broads Lindsey Graham?

00:05:47.000 Or just the voice of Kennedy?

00:05:49.000 Well, he's Senator.

00:05:49.000 I like Kennedy.

00:05:50.000 Yeah, I like omelets and I like sex! 0.99

00:05:54.000 Who doesn't, dude? 0.99

00:05:56.000 What are you talking about? 0.98

00:05:57.000 Gotta break a few eggs for sex and for omelets, I don't know. 0.99

00:06:01.000 I like him. 0.98

00:06:02.000 He just has a Lady Lane voice.

00:06:04.000 All right.

00:06:04.000 And we're talking these broads.

00:06:06.000 AOC, Cortez, to the uninitiated.

00:06:09.000 Not the kinky store. 1.00

00:06:10.000 No. 1.00

00:06:10.000 The dumb broad. 1.00

00:06:12.000 She had these comments or thoughts that turned into semi-comments on wealthiest man ever, Elon Musk. 1.00

00:06:20.000 This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen, or witnessed.

00:06:31.000 Which, you know, you can probably even glean that from watching these people on TV. Anyways, all of that is to say...

00:06:39.000 Is that they don't do their homework.

00:06:41.000 Clearly, they're putting 19-year-olds in at the treasury. 0.99

00:06:46.000 This dude is not smart.

00:06:48.000 And the danger in the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise that Elon has. 0.85

00:06:58.000 I mean, this guy is one of the most morally vacant, but also just...

00:07:08.000 You can do it.

00:07:09.000 Thank you for the six second pause.

00:07:14.000 But the point is, is that what that means is that they're going to hit a button inevitably.

00:07:22.000 They're going to hit a button and things can go sideways.

00:07:26.000 Are they going to hit a button?

00:07:28.000 It's very important to hit a button.

00:07:31.000 How about you ask me a question about how unintelligent he is?

00:07:37.000 Next up will be Jasmine Crockett. 1.00

00:07:39.000 But she is questioning the intellect of Elon Musk.

00:07:43.000 Look, he may be on the spectrum like many geniuses as far as social skills.

00:07:48.000 There's a lot on which I disagree with Elon Musk. 1.00

00:07:51.000 But it's really hard when you're making the case that someone's an idiot. 1.00

00:07:57.000 It's hard if you're making the case sounding like an idiot. 1.00

00:08:00.000 That makes it exceedingly difficult. 1.00

00:08:02.000 And just to prove my point, I've transcribed it.

00:08:05.000 So, she says, this dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met, seen, or witnessed.

00:08:13.000 Um, ha ha ha.

00:08:14.000 Which, you know, you can probably even glean that from watching these people on TV. What?

00:08:23.000 Anyways, all of that is to say, is that they don't do their homework clearly.

00:08:29.000 Like!

00:08:30.000 They're putting 19-year-olds in at the Treasury. 0.99

00:08:33.000 This dude is not smart.

00:08:35.000 Um, and, uh, and, um, the danger in not in the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise, um, and that Elon has. 0.99

00:08:48.000 This is not right for me to do because you shouldn't pick on someone who's functionally retarded.

00:08:55.000 Which I think she's doing. 0.68

00:08:58.000 She is.

00:09:00.000 Look, yeah, there are people I disagree with who are smart.

00:09:03.000 She is not one of them.

00:09:04.000 And Ilhan Omar banged her brother.

00:09:05.000 Let's go to Jasmine Crockett. 0.96

00:09:07.000 In at their wedding.

00:09:08.000 Yes, exactly.

00:09:09.000 For a visa.

00:09:10.000 You know, she's looking out for the interests of Somalia, which I think she should go back. 0.96

00:09:14.000 Comment below if you disagree.

00:09:15.000 Jasmine Crockett.

00:09:16.000 She went on CNN to spew this racist diatribe. 1.00

00:09:20.000 And she's one of those women who you have no idea what she looks like when she's not playing professional. 1.00

00:09:26.000 I mean, the caked-on layers of lead paint and the corset.

00:09:30.000 She goes home.

00:09:30.000 She doesn't change into sweats.

00:09:31.000 She pulls a ripcord.

00:09:33.000 Just...

00:09:33.000 Here she is being racist.

00:09:36.000 The coddling is for the white boys. 1.00

00:09:38.000 That's what's happening right now. 0.99

00:09:40.000 I am tired of the white tears.

00:09:42.000 Listen, if you are competent, you are not concerned.

00:09:45.000 When I walk into Congress every single day, you know why I don't feel a way and why you can't make me doubt who I am?

00:09:51.000 It's because I know that I had to work 10 times as hard as they did just to get into the seat.

00:09:56.000 When you look and you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison.

00:10:02.000 And that is the life that we have always lived.

00:10:05.000 So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so much harder.

00:10:13.000 This is why they don't want us to have education. 0.75

00:10:16.000 Well, I know it's hard to see through your lenses of racism and you're so nearsighted.

00:10:23.000 Maybe those mediocre white boys didn't grow up in the lap of privilege, like going to a $20,000 per year private school, then a $55,000 a year Rhodes University in Tennessee, getting your law degree from university. 0.64

00:10:35.000 And basically getting a million dollars for your first campaign from Sam Bankman Freed.

00:10:41.000 This whole act of hers, the mediocre white boys and the struggle that I have had this entire time where I didn't go to the 30k a year private school. 0.87

00:10:52.000 It was 20k!

00:10:54.000 I had to watch.

00:10:55.000 I had a best friend.

00:10:57.000 They was twins.

00:10:58.000 They had to share a Mercedes on the Sweet 16. They didn't have their own.

00:11:05.000 There was littering.

00:11:07.000 There was talkback.

00:11:10.000 We had truancy officers.

00:11:12.000 Does she know that Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene aren't white boys?

00:11:15.000 Yeah, I know.

00:11:16.000 Those are weird things she brought.

00:11:18.000 These white boys and here's a couple ladies and I'm not going to mention any boys. 0.73

00:11:22.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:11:23.000 Either this is all an act and it's disingenuous or these very, very expensive schools and institutions have failed her.

00:11:29.000 That's true.

00:11:30.000 Because I'm not able to understand what it is that she's attempting to articulate.

00:11:34.000 I would just like to do one thing.

00:11:36.000 I'd like to flip something that she said.

00:11:37.000 Can I just for a second?

00:11:39.000 Please do.

00:11:39.000 Flip it.

00:11:40.000 Now, this is her speaking, not me, because otherwise you're going to fit me for a freaking hood. 1.00

00:11:45.000 Do it. 0.98

00:11:45.000 I'm tired of black tears. 0.98

00:11:47.000 If you're competent, you're not concerned. 1.00

00:11:49.000 All these mediocre black boys. 1.00

00:11:51.000 Can you imagine a white politician saying that right now? 0.99

00:11:55.000 Especially if he spelled black boys with two I's.

00:11:58.000 That's already been taken.

00:11:59.000 Somebody clipped Gerald, by the way.

00:12:00.000 Not me.

00:12:03.000 Can you imagine, though?

00:12:04.000 Can you imagine people's minds just going, what?

00:12:08.000 Not to mention she co-authored the We Was Kangs bill.

00:12:15.000 Was?

00:12:15.000 I know.

00:12:16.000 The whole thing now, we teach Ebonics, and it's a vernacular.

00:12:18.000 It's its own language.

00:12:19.000 I don't buy it.

00:12:19.000 Okay?

00:12:20.000 I like English.

00:12:20.000 I think it should be our official language.

00:12:21.000 She doesn't speak it very well.

00:12:22.000 Let's go to USAID. We talked about it yesterday.

00:12:26.000 The meltdown continued.

00:12:27.000 We'll get to the Department of Education, which I believe we absolutely should defund.

00:12:30.000 I will make the case.

00:12:32.000 But, right now, the theme, the meltdown, is Elon Musk is president, and no one elected Elon.

00:12:39.000 They had a rally.

00:12:41.000 This is why I'm not gonna be able to preach because I probably won't be able to stop cussing. 0.94

00:12:45.000 Take your time.

00:12:46.000 So let me tell you something, Mr. Trump.

00:12:49.000 Mr. President Trump.

00:12:51.000 You gonna learn a few lessons from us.

00:12:53.000 No, he won't.

00:12:55.000 That guy behind her, I've seen him in MASH. Did she get in her dryer steam cycle?

00:13:14.000 You can get all of our private information.

00:13:18.000 Oh, you want to use our money to go to Mars?

00:13:21.000 No.

00:13:22.000 We want to use our money right here in Washington, D.C., in this country.

00:13:28.000 We cannot allow Elon Musk and a small group of people to secretly, behind closed doors, take away our privacy, take away our dollars, take away everything we have.

00:13:43.000 We are going to Fight this fight!

00:13:45.000 I am gonna stand with you in this fight!

00:13:48.000 And we will win!

00:13:50.000 We will win!

00:13:56.000 It's very intimidating when the war cry involves the...

00:14:00.000 Inability to mobilize your own arms.

00:14:04.000 We will win!

00:14:06.000 You gotta know what your body looks like, too.

00:14:08.000 I know with my body, I can't put my arms above my head and not show my belly.

00:14:13.000 I know, it's embarrassing.

00:14:15.000 Don't do it.

00:14:16.000 He doesn't know where his body is in space.

00:14:19.000 Oh, privacy they care about.

00:14:20.000 Freedom of speech they now care about.

00:14:22.000 Not when you were jailing Americans without due process.

00:14:25.000 violating Americans' privacy, whether it's data mining or the Patriot Act, all of which the left has supported, until they claim that they oppose.

00:14:32.000 And just to be clear, these people are really, really, really mad that tax dollars could be used to audit the professional auditing agencies.

00:14:41.000 I want to be really clear about that.

00:14:43.000 They want to audit, Doge, where the government is spending your money.

00:14:50.000 This is their civil rights cause.

00:14:52.000 That the government should not be accountable to anyone.

00:14:55.000 The Daily Beast, they even did a hit piece on the Doge team.

00:14:59.000 It's unmasked.

00:15:00.000 Musk's secret Doge goon squad who are all under 26. As opposed to the people on your side who are all over 85?

00:15:10.000 Look at those goons. 1.00

00:15:12.000 They look so dangerous.

00:15:13.000 Some of the smartest people.

00:15:15.000 Look at these goons. 1.00

00:15:15.000 Look at this highly diverse group of goons. 1.00

00:15:19.000 They're terrified.

00:15:21.000 Like we said, USAID is the first stone we turned over.

00:15:25.000 This is why they're terrified of us going into the Department of Education.

00:15:28.000 This is why they are terrified of us looking into the CIA, the FBI. Insert any government bureaucracy here.

00:15:35.000 You want to talk entitlement?

00:15:37.000 How about the entitlement of knowing that there's half a trillion dollars a year in fraud, having done nothing about it, and feeling as though you have the right to never do anything about it?

00:15:48.000 That's their position.

00:15:50.000 They haven't proposed, just to be clear, some other kind of efficiency mechanism or auditing tool.

00:15:56.000 They have not.

00:15:57.000 They've just said no.

00:15:59.000 Your tax dollars to us, never in supply, we never answer to you.

00:16:03.000 Do you understand it?

00:16:05.000 Comment below.

00:16:06.000 Do you despise the left enough?

00:16:07.000 It's not a legitimate party in this country at this point.

00:16:10.000 So this is just the start of it.

00:16:11.000 Let's go through a couple of examples.

00:16:13.000 Donald Trump delivering exactly.

00:16:15.000 On his promises, President Trump.

00:16:17.000 Tuesday, USAID said that all the direct-hire employees globally would be placed on leave, excluding some, like, key core positions.

00:16:26.000 And you know who isn't mad about this?

00:16:29.000 The supposed USAID recipients in Africa.

00:16:37.000 Yes, I support the lady.

00:16:39.000 Trump cuts everything.

00:16:41.000 Cut everything completely.

00:16:43.000 He shouldn't even make it 90 water, whatever this.

00:16:47.000 He should cut it completely.

00:16:50.000 We don't need it.

00:16:51.000 It rather goes to other individuals, but not us.

00:16:55.000 Please, he should cut it completely.

00:16:58.000 I didn't understand it fully, though he did go on to say, boom-a-lay, boom-a-lay, boom-a-lay.

00:17:03.000 I agree.

00:17:05.000 I think that was MC Baba.

00:17:06.000 MC Baba, come on!

00:17:10.000 That's where USAID's money went to, was those music videos.

00:17:14.000 Someone supercut MC Baba to Chuck Schumer.

00:17:18.000 Yes!

00:17:21.000 I want it before the end of the show!

00:17:24.000 The music moves through me!

00:17:27.000 It's your wedding's worst nightmare!

00:17:36.000 Ah!

00:17:38.000 A little bit of a note on USAID. Apparently this came out about Politico.

00:17:44.000 Politico, I think, received $8.1 million in government funding and also of note, apparently Politico just missed payroll.

00:17:55.000 Really?

00:17:55.000 Yes.

00:17:57.000 Apparently, due to a technical glitch, they said to their employees, they're like, hey, sorry about that.

00:18:02.000 So, let me just get this straight.

00:18:03.000 USAID closes down, all this, like, government funding stuff stops happening, and immediately, Politico has a technical glitch with payroll for the first time ever?

00:18:13.000 Think about it.

00:18:14.000 We've been fact-checked by Politico wrongly.

00:18:16.000 Yeah.

00:18:17.000 American tax dollars were going...

00:18:19.000 To Politico's propaganda!

00:18:21.000 A lot.

00:18:22.000 I mean, 8 million seems like a lot of dollars.

00:18:24.000 I know, that's a rounding error to those in the federal government, but let's move on to the next one.

00:18:28.000 And I'm happy about this because remember I said this with Carrie Lake, with Donald Trump Jr., I believe Marco Rubio, with Rand Paul, Vivek.

00:18:37.000 Any candidate who does not promise to completely disband or at the very least at a foundational level restructure our intelligence agencies, our three-letter agencies, is someone I cannot vote for.

00:18:49.000 So that for a very long time, that was a closed-handed issue for me.

00:18:54.000 We're seeing that, and right now, President Trump just offered to buy out the CIA. All of it.

00:19:01.000 Yes, I know what you're thinking.

00:19:03.000 The entire workforce.

00:19:06.000 And by the way, that of course is designed to craft or to create a work environment that will match the policy of the commander-in-chief.

00:19:13.000 Right.

00:19:14.000 So far, just to give you an idea, 20,000, this doesn't include the CIA, 20,000 federal employees accepted buyouts from Donald Trump's first offer.

00:19:22.000 And they are continuing.

00:19:24.000 They're going to keep coming.

00:19:26.000 I think it's a fantastic idea.

00:19:29.000 Anybody who doesn't want to be there, fantastic.

00:19:31.000 You worried that we're about to come after you because of what you've done?

00:19:34.000 If you broke the law, we're still coming.

00:19:36.000 Guess what?

00:19:36.000 But if you just don't like it, fantastic.

00:19:38.000 There's the door.

00:19:39.000 Leave if you don't want to be here.

00:19:41.000 You left on your own terms?

00:19:42.000 You get a severance?

00:19:43.000 Or as the left refers to it, a violation of fundamental human rights.

00:19:47.000 We really need to understand what a fundamental human right is.

00:19:49.000 It's not internet, it's not even healthcare, and it's certainly not a cushy job at the CIA with a laptop loaded with child pornography.

00:19:58.000 6,000 gigabytes, terabytes, that story that came out?

00:20:01.000 There was more than you need.

00:20:02.000 No one brought up on charges just to be clear.

00:20:04.000 And by the way, we do have an exclusive leaked phone call of how this proposal with the CIA initially played out.

00:20:12.000 Hello, Central Intelligence.

00:20:15.000 How may I direct your call?

00:20:16.000 I want to talk to the boss.

00:20:18.000 I'm sorry, sir.

00:20:19.000 I need an extension number.

00:20:21.000 I don't have a number.

00:20:22.000 Just put me through to whoever's in charge over there.

00:20:24.000 I'm sorry, sir, but...

00:20:25.000 Sir, I was saying I'm sorry, but...

00:20:28.000 Sir, what are you...

00:20:30.000 Are you pressing buttons?

00:20:31.000 Operator!

00:20:32.000 Sir, I am the...

00:20:34.000 Operator!

00:20:35.000 No, sir.

00:20:36.000 Sir.

00:20:36.000 You have two days.

00:20:41.000 I think it's fine.

00:20:42.000 *laughter* It's what I voted for!

00:20:48.000 Now I won't be able to operate my iPad with a wet finger.

00:20:50.000 I should have thought this through.

00:20:52.000 Didn't.

00:20:53.000 Here's another one.

00:20:54.000 The FBI now has agreed to turn over the files on, I know what you're thinking, a few.

00:21:00.000 Because we've been told there are a few bad people, a few bad apples.

00:21:03.000 Just a couple.

00:21:04.000 Yeah, it's not rotten to the core.

00:21:05.000 A handful.

00:21:06.000 5,000 employees who worked in the January 6th case.

00:21:09.000 What?

00:21:10.000 5,000 employees.

00:21:12.000 Just a couple.

00:21:12.000 Isn't it crazy to think of how many more employees there were involved than people actually brought up on any type of charges on January 6th?

00:21:20.000 That's like, how many employees, can we do the math?

00:21:22.000 How many employees per person?

00:21:23.000 Three.

00:21:24.000 There's about 1,500 J6ers, about 5,000, so you're looking at a little over 3 point something people per J6er? 0.99

00:21:30.000 And as far as violent J6ers, you're talking very, very low triple digits, if that. 1.00

00:21:36.000 Wow.

00:21:37.000 You think the government is looking out for you?

00:21:39.000 They can mobilize all of their resources when it comes to falsely prosecuting you.

00:21:44.000 Every person prosecuted had at least five, four, at least four employees working on their case.

00:21:49.000 Think about that.

00:21:50.000 By the way, you said this and it just stuck with me.

00:21:53.000 They agreed to turn over the files.

00:21:54.000 I'm sorry, the President of the United States.

00:21:56.000 You don't agree to do it.

00:21:57.000 You do it.

00:21:58.000 Yes.

00:21:59.000 It is your job.

00:22:00.000 You don't get to agree to turn over files.

00:22:02.000 Right.

00:22:02.000 And by the way, the FBI, you know, these agencies who love spying on you and love, by the way, operating in the dark and violating your fundamental privacy rights.

00:22:10.000 You know, actual rights.

00:22:11.000 your right as a citizen, a law-abiding citizen to privacy, they're actually now suing to prevent the information from being released, and they are whining about how their privacy rights are now being infringed upon.

00:22:22.000 Here's Andrew McCabe. 0.97

00:22:24.000 Professional pussy whining about it on CNN. Thousands of agents who did nothing other than respond to the orders of their supervisors and of people at headquarters who likely sent them leads to the field offices where they work to conduct some investigative activity and maybe even execute a lawful search warrant or arrest warrant signed by a federal judge. 0.84

00:22:46.000 So the idea that these people are essentially being virtually rounded up now, submitted, being demanded to fill out what I'm told is a 12 question survey, which is mostly yes or no answers, identify themselves as people who are, who may be targeted for identify themselves as people who are, who may be targeted for some sort of retribution or It's absolutely disgraceful.

00:23:09.000 By the way! 0.69

00:23:10.000 I answered more questions on the warranty quality survey on my latest Ryobi power washer with the warranty card.

00:23:20.000 Yeah.

00:23:20.000 Twelve questions.

00:23:21.000 You could do that on a smoke break.

00:23:23.000 Yes.

00:23:24.000 I was just doing my job!

00:23:26.000 So am I! That's the movie.

00:23:29.000 The salaries of 5,000 agents.

00:23:33.000 Yes.

00:23:33.000 Our tax dollars.

00:23:34.000 Yeah, not to mention the committees, the withholding of evidence, the false prosecution, and not to mention, hey, you know this?

00:23:40.000 Lives lost.

00:23:41.000 Lives lost.

00:23:42.000 People killed themselves because they thought their life was over.

00:23:44.000 You know why?

00:23:44.000 Because they were told that their life was over.

00:23:46.000 More people killed themselves than the number of questions that they have to answer.

00:23:49.000 That's good.

00:23:50.000 And they're complaining about it?

00:23:52.000 Twelve.

00:23:53.000 Twelve.

00:23:53.000 I just love that that would be the tipping point for someone that they feel like, I don't know if I can handle just one more.

00:23:58.000 Twelve?

00:23:59.000 A whole dozen?

00:24:00.000 What?

00:24:01.000 I mean, you could even do that in a large font and fit it on one page.

00:24:05.000 They probably got paid to answer those questions.

00:24:07.000 Yes, they were on the clock!

00:24:09.000 And they're yes or no.

00:24:10.000 You don't have to provide details.

00:24:12.000 The good news is, President Trump's AG pick, Pam Bondi, was just confirmed yesterday, 54 to 46. And by the way, Fetterman, who...

00:24:19.000 Not necessarily the friend that people make him out to be.

00:24:21.000 He was the only Democrat voting for this.

00:24:24.000 So in that case, credit where it's due.

00:24:25.000 Is crazy tends to lean towards us right now.

00:24:27.000 Yeah, except for voting against providing care to babies who've survived abortions.

00:24:33.000 He's wearing a suit to the inauguration.

00:24:34.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:24:36.000 Fetterman be as Fetterman does.

00:24:37.000 What's his excuse?

00:24:39.000 It's like the worst outfit gimmick of all time.

00:24:44.000 Tucker Carlson had the bow tie for about 15 years.

00:24:48.000 Eddie Murphy had the leather suit.

00:24:50.000 He thinks that basketball shorts from Dicks is like, this is going to be good for me.

00:24:54.000 He'd look better in a dress.

00:24:55.000 Yes, he would.

00:24:56.000 He's like, oh, I had a stroke.

00:24:57.000 I'm like, that affects your ability to put on pants or someone to put pants on for you?

00:25:01.000 I don't know how to use a belt!

00:25:05.000 Cables!

00:25:06.000 So many holes!

00:25:10.000 Stop! 1.00

00:25:11.000 Short-ass too many buttons! 1.00

00:25:15.000 That sounds like him. 0.86

00:25:16.000 It seems like something he would say.

00:25:18.000 So let me ask you this.

00:25:18.000 Is anyone surprised by this?

00:25:21.000 Is anyone surprised by this?

00:25:23.000 And let me ask you this.

00:25:24.000 Has any president kept their promises to a greater degree than nominee Trump and President Trump?

00:25:34.000 I can't think of any.

00:25:35.000 And believe me, it's not lost on me, egg on my face.

00:25:38.000 I was not a fan of Donald Trump in the 2016 primaries, and I was holding my nose in that election because I thought he was a lifelong Democrat.

00:25:44.000 I liked his first term on most things.

00:25:47.000 This is a whole new beast right now, this first term.

00:25:50.000 And I honestly, you know what, I think, and I always hate to think this way because you always want to prevent damage before it takes place.

00:25:59.000 I don't think this could have happened without the four years of Biden.

00:26:02.000 I think he needed, President Trump needed those four years to simmer in rage, and he was basically radicalized by the left.

00:26:11.000 As the left sees it, radicalized, you know, believing in your...

00:26:13.000 I think we had people.

00:26:14.000 Yeah.

00:26:15.000 Were.

00:26:15.000 I think so.

00:26:15.000 I think a lot of people needed to see, like, oh, crap, you know, like, this is serious.

00:26:21.000 Without Carter, you would have no Reagan. 0.99

00:26:23.000 Without Biden, you would have no President Trump.

00:26:26.000 But here's the thing.

00:26:28.000 With Biden, that also changes the legacy of Barack Obama.

00:26:31.000 I've noticed a lot of people who are younger going back and saying, you know, I got all swept up in the hope and change, but after Biden, it forced me to take a second look at the Obama legacy.

00:26:40.000 Did you know that he...

00:26:42.000 They'll go through the deportations, they'll go through the invasions of privacy, they'll go through the wars.

00:26:46.000 Did you know he did that?

00:26:48.000 Weaponize the IRS? Weaponizing the IRS was the first one to do it. 0.70

00:26:54.000 I think it's okay.

00:26:55.000 I don't think you need to feel guilty.

00:26:56.000 It doesn't mean that I ever wanted Biden to win, but I think if Donald Trump had been, well, if he had won that last election, I think he would have governed from the center, center-right, sometimes center-left, and kind of gradually...

00:27:10.000 Really just served out his last years.

00:27:12.000 Now this is a guy coming in with a purpose.

00:27:14.000 I don't think we've ever had it in our lifetime, and I don't know that we'll ever see it again.

00:27:17.000 This could be the most consequential presidential administration.

00:27:20.000 This is not hero worship.

00:27:21.000 I mean historically.

00:27:22.000 I mean as far as impact.

00:27:23.000 Could be the most consequential since our founding or since the Civil War.

00:27:27.000 I genuinely believe that may be the case.

00:27:30.000 Now, for some fun.

00:27:33.000 Jeez.

00:27:35.000 Everything's looking up.

00:27:35.000 Things are looking up.

00:27:36.000 Yeah.

00:27:36.000 President Trump, okay.

00:27:38.000 But there's always going to be evil in the world.

00:27:40.000 We know that.

00:27:41.000 Evil will always live amongst you.

00:27:44.000 However, every now and then, evil gets exposed.

00:27:46.000 And I don't think there's anything, to be clear, more evil than a child molester.

00:27:49.000 No. 1.00

00:27:50.000 Than a sexual predator. 0.99

00:27:51.000 Woodchipper, right? 1.00

00:27:51.000 Against children. 1.00

00:27:52.000 Yeah, I think.

00:27:52.000 I mean, pretty much.

00:27:53.000 Or, you know, like in Russia, they stab themselves 36 times in the back. 0.53

00:27:56.000 You know, a legitimate execution. 0.52

00:27:58.000 Yes.

00:27:59.000 Preferably on a very large table.

00:28:00.000 A judge bought that and said, here you go.

00:28:01.000 There you go.

00:28:02.000 They don't get everything wrong in Russia. 0.64

00:28:05.000 So, child molesters, okay.

00:28:07.000 Evil exists, but so does justice.

00:28:10.000 And right now, in a Mug Club exclusive, I will tell you this, seldom is justice so satisfying and funny.

00:28:19.000 This is an exclusive. All right.

00:28:28.000 There's nothing I can add to this.

00:28:29.000 This is, and we are proud to bring you, the very first catch by the Long Island Predator Poacher, and I hope the first of many to come.

00:28:37.000 They should almost all be done like this.

00:28:40.000 Don't drink from your wonderful girthy mug as you are watching this.

00:28:43.000 I urinated myself laughing.

00:28:46.000 This is the Long Island Predator Poacher, Douglas King Jr. here.

00:28:50.000 Abigail.

00:28:51.000 No, no, no.

00:28:51.000 We have your picture.

00:28:53.000 We have your penis picture. 1.00

00:28:54.000 I'm punk from Long Island. 0.99

00:28:56.000 This is just for safety purposes.

00:28:58.000 The first thing is, how old is Abigail?

00:29:01.000 She said she was 13.

00:29:03.000 Okay, appreciate it.

00:29:04.000 By the way, I'm sorry, I'm Douglas.

00:29:06.000 I'm here.

00:29:06.000 I want to knock some sense into this.

00:29:09.000 Yeah, no, it's good that you...

00:29:11.000 But I'm a father.

00:29:12.000 I'm like, you know what, let me just give in in a way so that she thinks I'm meeting her.

00:29:16.000 Yeah.

00:29:16.000 Oh, you are meeting her.

00:29:18.000 Yeah, I know. 1.00

00:29:18.000 You want to have car sex or get a room? 1.00

00:29:21.000 Yeah, she's... 0.99

00:29:22.000 Well, you said that, actually.

00:29:23.000 Yeah, I did. 0.91

00:29:24.000 You also sent her, it looks like a porn video. 0.98

00:29:27.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00

00:29:28.000 You also said things like, I'll eat your pussy, and like, sucking cock in 69, like, I would've tried to say, listen, you're doing the wrong thing, and go back to school, stay in school, stuff like that. 1.00

00:29:40.000 You asked her for nude pictures. 1.00

00:29:43.000 She's only a couple years older than your 10-year-old daughter.

00:29:49.000 Anything ever happened with your daughter or like anything with like you?

00:29:53.000 Like this, I haven't.

00:29:54.000 With you, like in her maybe?

00:29:55.000 Oh no.

00:29:56.000 Okay.

00:29:57.000 I appreciate your honesty, for real.

00:29:59.000 I get like other people would see this and think like you're attracted to minors.

00:30:03.000 No.

00:30:03.000 Yeah.

00:30:04.000 I'm not.

00:30:05.000 Everything's voluntary.

00:30:06.000 You can leave whenever you want.

00:30:07.000 Kind of seems like you wanted to...

00:30:09.000 Go through with it.

00:30:10.000 I didn't.

00:30:11.000 I really didn't, honestly.

00:30:13.000 That's why when I said the first week, I'm here.

00:30:16.000 That is true. 1.00

00:30:18.000 It's like, well, I see my penis. 1.00

00:30:20.000 It's not yours, but it's a penis. 1.00

00:30:23.000 I don't even want to deal with a minor. 1.00

00:30:25.000 No, of course, but you are here in an effort to deal with a minor.

00:30:30.000 Let me just leave.

00:30:31.000 Can we go back on the sidewalk?

00:30:32.000 Thank you.

00:30:33.000 This is Amir.

00:30:35.000 Amir, you're not going to ask any minors for nudes anymore if you're done with doing that?

00:30:42.000 You're not going to ask minors for nudes anymore. 0.63

00:30:44.000 You're not going to try to talk to them sexually and meet up with them for sex and all that stuff. 1.00

00:30:48.000 You're not going to send penis pictures anymore either? 1.00

00:30:51.000 Okay. 1.00

00:30:55.000 And happy ending.

00:30:57.000 Amir was arrested in Long Island.

00:30:59.000 Just so you know, all of the evidence was handed over digitally and with printouts.

00:31:02.000 And this is a man, Amir, who is a mechanic who also happens to be a content creator.

00:31:07.000 Yeah, he had a YouTube channel, I think.

00:31:08.000 I'm guessing it's going dark for a little while.

00:31:10.000 Maybe.

00:31:11.000 So, to watch the full catch, completely uncensored, follow this gentleman on X at PP Long Island.

00:31:18.000 PP Long Island.

00:31:20.000 I just...

00:31:21.000 It was...

00:31:24.000 I was gonna tell her to stay in school.

00:31:27.000 Stuff like that. 0.86

00:31:28.000 Nah, I wouldn't bullshit you. 0.60

00:31:29.000 Nah, I wouldn't bullshit you. 0.52

00:31:30.000 I was gonna tell her, you know, stay off drugs. 1.00

00:31:31.000 Here's my dick. 1.00

00:31:34.000 No, look at me. 1.00

00:31:34.000 I got short sweatshorts on. 1.00

00:31:37.000 I'm a good guy. 1.00

00:31:39.000 It's a penis. 1.00

00:31:39.000 I mean, it's not your penis, which, you know, means he's not. 1.00

00:31:41.000 Like, yeah, yeah, you know, it's not my penis. 0.99

00:31:43.000 Objects in here may be smaller than they appear. 0.94

00:31:45.000 You know, it's not actual size.

00:31:47.000 It's more of a, like, effigy.

00:31:50.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:31:50.000 Like, it's like volunteers for my dick is tribute. 1.00

00:31:53.000 I was just showing one of the dangers of a penis. 1.00

00:31:56.000 That's right. 1.00

00:31:56.000 They're so dangerous. 1.00

00:31:57.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:31:58.000 Like, hey, you see one of these?

00:32:00.000 Don't touch that.

00:32:01.000 Stay away.

00:32:01.000 Don't touch that.

00:32:02.000 Don't touch that!

00:32:04.000 Let me meet up with you.

00:32:05.000 We'll talk about it.

00:32:06.000 He goes, you are here.

00:32:08.000 Yeah.

00:32:10.000 I just got a Euro across the street.

00:32:11.000 It's a good place.

00:32:12.000 Maybe we'll have a Euro.

00:32:14.000 We'll talk. 1.00

00:32:14.000 Maybe we'll play Identify the Penis. 1.00

00:32:16.000 Maybe put a little pocket pool. 0.99

00:32:18.000 Yeah.

00:32:19.000 You know, stay in school.

00:32:21.000 I'm glad he stayed and got arrested, but I was like, huh. 1.00

00:32:25.000 This guy's an idiot. 1.00

00:32:26.000 He could have left it. 1.00

00:32:27.000 He tried to leave, and he's like, God, just maybe we'll walk back over here, and I'll talk more about how you tried to meet up to have sex with a minor on camera. 0.93

00:32:33.000 Yeah. 0.92

00:32:33.000 I would go well for you. 0.92

00:32:34.000 I would feel bad for him if he wasn't the worst among us.

00:32:37.000 Yes, I know.

00:32:38.000 I don't feel bad at all.

00:32:39.000 Oh, no.

00:32:40.000 It's because it is so embarrassing.

00:32:42.000 It's like embarrassment by proxy.

00:32:44.000 The only person I feel bad for is his actual daughter.

00:32:46.000 Yes.

00:32:47.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:32:47.000 What a piece of crap. 1.00

00:32:49.000 I mean, it's just when you're caught dead to rights, like, just... 1.00

00:32:53.000 Just fess up and just hold out your hands for the cuffs and go. 1.00

00:32:56.000 Well, it's like, it's one of those things where I think in the moment you think, well, shit. 1.00

00:33:00.000 Shit, if I run away, they're gonna know I'm guilty. 1.00

00:33:03.000 Right, plus that guy can't run. 1.00

00:33:04.000 Yeah, plus he has my penis. 1.00

00:33:07.000 He has a picture of my penis on those papers. 0.99

00:33:09.000 Maybe if I grab those papers, the records that they have from the phones won't exist. 0.98

00:33:13.000 I just figure if he's like, never seen that before in my life.

00:33:16.000 Just a picture of him in the mirror. 1.00

00:33:19.000 Oh, that penis! 1.00

00:33:20.000 Yeah, that's mine! 1.00

00:33:22.000 The one attached to me.

00:33:23.000 That's my other thumb.

00:33:24.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:33:25.000 I thought you meant... 1.00

00:33:26.000 Another penis. 1.00

00:33:27.000 No, this penis I was holding for a friend. 1.00

00:33:29.000 Yeah, that's right. 0.99

00:33:30.000 Hey, what's your student loan situation like?

00:33:32.000 You staying in school?

00:33:34.000 Because that's my thing.

00:33:37.000 I wanted to get out here and warn you because these parents aren't paying attention to their kids.

00:33:41.000 Where's their parents?

00:33:42.000 I'm a parent. 1.00

00:33:43.000 I'm a fucking kid. 1.00

00:33:44.000 I'm concerned. 1.00

00:33:45.000 I came here, there's no crossing guard. 1.00

00:33:47.000 I mean, I was amazed at how nobody stopped me when I took out my penis. 0.99

00:33:53.000 So really, it's... 0.99

00:33:54.000 It's the fault of society.

00:33:57.000 What's in the bag there?

00:34:00.000 Lubricant.

00:34:01.000 Stick of butter.

00:34:02.000 Lipstick.

00:34:03.000 Quiznos.

00:34:03.000 All right.

00:34:05.000 Literature on how good school is for you.

00:34:08.000 By the way, Nick DiPaolo is one of the funniest bits ever on To Catch a Predator.

00:34:10.000 I think you can listen to it on Spotify, wherever you get podcasts.

00:34:13.000 He's one of the funniest men alive.

00:34:14.000 That's one of his funniest bits.

00:34:15.000 The point is, there are a lot of creeps out there.

00:34:17.000 And there's no better reason to get a stop box to make sure your firearm is nearby but safely secured.

00:34:24.000 Almost there, Finnegan. 1.00

00:34:30.000 This is so dumb. 1.00

00:34:32.000 What's the problem? 1.00

00:34:33.000 It's just a plastic box.

00:34:34.000 No, that's actually a stop box.

00:34:36.000 Drop box?

00:34:37.000 Stop box.

00:34:38.000 Hot box?

00:34:38.000 Stop box.

00:34:39.000 Botox.

00:34:40.000 Stop box.

00:34:40.000 Small pox?

00:34:41.000 Stop box.

00:34:42.000 Chop box.

00:34:43.000 Stop box. 0.67

00:34:43.000 Would you shut up? 0.67

00:34:44.000 I'm trying to focus.

00:34:46.000 Should we help him?

00:34:47.000 No, actually, he's our control study.

00:34:50.000 He's the perfect person to see how child-resistant the stop box is.

00:34:53.000 Oh, okay, so it's like super hard to get into.

00:34:56.000 Not if you're a responsible adult and it's your own box.

00:34:59.000 Finnegan, give it here.

00:35:04.000 See?

00:35:07.000 Stop box.

00:35:08.000 It's American-made, prevents unintended access to your firearms, but it's mechanical.

00:35:12.000 It doesn't use batteries, so you don't have to do a biometric safe or combo at four in the morning with gang rapists standing at the end of your master bedroom.

00:35:21.000 Why am I keep this with me?

00:35:23.000 Hey, Finnegan.

00:35:24.000 I think you can open this bottle of the meds for me.

00:35:31.000 Yeah, I'll sip beers on the right track.

00:35:44.000 Stopboxusa.com slash Crowder.

00:35:46.000 I do, by the way, I love this.

00:35:47.000 I actually did, true story, have, um, I can't see it with the light.

00:35:51.000 There you go.

00:35:52.000 Push it down, boom. 0.96

00:35:54.000 I had one of those biometric safes, and there was someone that was actually rattling doors when I was in a townhouse.

00:36:00.000 It did not work at 3 in the morning.

00:36:02.000 I love the beep.

00:36:03.000 I'm like, fudge!

00:36:04.000 So I got one of these before they became a sponsor, and it's really easy to do.

00:36:07.000 You can set your own combination.

00:36:08.000 It's mechanical, no batteries.

00:36:10.000 It's a great way to prevent unintended access.

00:36:12.000 Lightweight.

00:36:12.000 Go to stopboxusa.com slash Crowder.

00:36:14.000 And right now, there's actually a buy one, get one free.

00:36:16.000 Wow.

00:36:16.000 10% off.

00:36:17.000 Buy one, get one, and 10% off?

00:36:19.000 That's pretty good.

00:36:20.000 Yeah.

00:36:20.000 Okay, don't oversell it.

00:36:21.000 No, I just read it.

00:36:22.000 I was just kind of surprised.

00:36:23.000 It's quite useful, and I don't trust the biometric safes.

00:36:26.000 No.

00:36:26.000 You can travel with that easily, too.

00:36:27.000 I went to your house.

00:36:28.000 It was out of battery.

00:36:28.000 I know.

00:36:29.000 It plugged in and opened.

00:36:30.000 You're like, well, I have to leave it open.

00:36:32.000 Yeah, I have to leave it open, so I have to put it up on a shelf and a whole thing, and then I wrap it in saran wrap, and then I just can't access it.

00:36:38.000 Well, you get the wrong biometric.

00:36:39.000 Biometric safe.

00:36:39.000 You've got to get the one that you have to spit into.

00:36:41.000 Yes, exactly.

00:36:42.000 Yeah.

00:36:43.000 It also talks dirty to me.

00:36:44.000 Now, jeez. 0.87

00:36:46.000 Spit in my...

00:36:47.000 Remember when they wanted to have biometric guns?

00:36:49.000 Yeah.

00:36:50.000 That should be where I could only...

00:36:51.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:36:52.000 That works great with sweaty palms, blood, and an adrenaline dump.

00:36:55.000 Yeah, in the middle of the night.

00:36:56.000 Oh, cool.

00:36:56.000 Now someone's got to cut off my thumb and steal my gun.

00:36:58.000 Yes, exactly. 0.99

00:37:00.000 Sick. 0.99

00:37:02.000 He just created a new crime market. 0.99

00:37:04.000 Okay.

00:37:05.000 Art of the deal.

00:37:05.000 I'm going to tell you this.

00:37:08.000 I have mixed thoughts.

00:37:12.000 And I want to be clear about that.

00:37:13.000 I want to be clear with you when I don't have a finalized opinion.

00:37:17.000 Meaning there could be some data presented that may sway me, but I'll give you my thoughts.

00:37:20.000 And hopefully you guys can kind of have a conversation here in the comments section.

00:37:23.000 By the way, best way is to download the Rumble app.

00:37:25.000 Like we told you, download the app.

00:37:27.000 And right there, you'll get notifications whenever we're live.

00:37:30.000 Rumble owns live.

00:37:31.000 And of course, you get to keep watching.

00:37:33.000 If you're a Rumble premium member, $99 a year.

00:37:35.000 You can get it for $9.99 a month.

00:37:36.000 And a wonderful mug as you join the club.

00:37:39.000 But download the app.

00:37:40.000 That's the best way.

00:37:41.000 So, I want to see some conversation about this because this is one that it seems like left, right, across the board, people just disagree.

00:37:50.000 So, the best part, though, before we get to the Gaza potential deal... 0.94

00:37:55.000 In Donald Trump's, the President's Middle East Policy Day, let's call it, was this exchange with a reporter.

00:38:01.000 Go ahead.

00:38:02.000 I have a little hard time understanding.

00:38:24.000 Thank you.

00:38:25.000 Where are you from?

00:38:28.000 Actually, it's a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent.

00:38:31.000 The only problem is I can't understand the word you're saying.

00:38:35.000 But I just say this.

00:38:37.000 Good luck.

00:38:38.000 Live in peace.

00:38:39.000 Go ahead, please.

00:38:40.000 That's awesome.

00:38:42.000 I love how we added live in peace.

00:38:46.000 Peace.

00:38:46.000 Peace be with you.

00:38:48.000 And you know what?

00:38:49.000 We're in the era where no one's going to say, that's racist.

00:38:52.000 I didn't understand her either.

00:38:53.000 Okay?

00:38:54.000 That's what happens.

00:38:55.000 Just like they probably don't understand half of my French-Canadian family.

00:38:58.000 It's fine!

00:38:59.000 Alright?

00:39:00.000 She makes no sense.

00:39:01.000 But, Tuesday, back to the policy, Donald Trump met with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu, and he made this pretty wild statement regarding Gaza.

00:39:13.000 The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative. 1.00

00:39:19.000 It's right now a demolition site.

00:39:22.000 This is just a demolition site.

00:39:24.000 Virtually every building is down.

00:39:25.000 They're living under fallen concrete that's very dangerous and very precarious.

00:39:31.000 They instead can occupy all of...

00:39:35.000 A beautiful area with homes and safety and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back and do it again.

00:39:43.000 The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. 1.00

00:39:48.000 We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.

00:39:55.000 Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings.

00:40:00.000 Level it out.

00:40:01.000 Create an economic development that will supply.

00:40:04.000 Unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.

00:40:09.000 It's not that big.

00:40:09.000 Do a real job.

00:40:10.000 Do something different.

00:40:12.000 So, by the way, did you see Netanyahu's posture change?

00:40:17.000 I would be willing to bet a lot of money that that was the first time Netanyahu turned to the ground.

00:40:23.000 You're going to do what?

00:40:24.000 It's kind of, you know, it's sort of okay.

00:40:26.000 We're going there.

00:40:27.000 Yes, yes, yes.

00:40:28.000 What, what, what, what?

00:40:30.000 And this, of course, like I said, all corners of the internet are up in arms here.

00:40:34.000 Different opinions, people not...

00:40:36.000 And Gerald and I had the exact same sort of initial reaction.

00:40:40.000 We compared notes today where I first heard this.

00:40:42.000 I said, that's a terrible idea.

00:40:45.000 I don't...

00:40:46.000 And then I thought...

00:40:50.000 Okay, I could see the reasoning.

00:40:52.000 I still lean toward probably not the best idea.

00:40:56.000 And so I think it would be helpful right now.

00:40:57.000 Let's do this with you.

00:40:58.000 A pros and cons list on the occupation of Gaza.

00:41:02.000 You know what, Josh?

00:41:02.000 Will you do the honors here?

00:41:03.000 You have better handwriting than all of us.

00:41:07.000 And Gerald, I think we can kind of talk through this.

00:41:09.000 And of course those in chat will talk through it as well.

00:41:12.000 Let's start with the cons.

00:41:13.000 So the very first con, it's Gaza. 0.97

00:41:20.000 Obviously.

00:41:21.000 I think.

00:41:22.000 That's a difficult one.

00:41:23.000 You can't overcome that one.

00:41:25.000 Location, location, location.

00:41:26.000 It matters.

00:41:27.000 Second con, it's going to anger probably most of the Middle East and could lead us into a global conflict. 0.59

00:41:33.000 It's never going to be a really safe place.

00:41:38.000 I think a third con that would require a bunch of U.S. troops, resources, that's not necessarily a good one.

00:41:44.000 Yeah.

00:41:45.000 Boo! 1.00

00:41:46.000 You suck! 1.00

00:41:46.000 No, I don't like deploying U.S. troops to a place like that. 1.00

00:41:49.000 And that's really, I don't think there's any other way to make that happen.

00:41:52.000 Right.

00:41:52.000 And I would say probably the final con is U.S. occupation.

00:41:56.000 It's never actually worked in the Middle East.

00:41:58.000 That's a con.

00:41:59.000 It's been tried.

00:42:00.000 Boo! 1.00

00:42:01.000 You suck! 1.00

00:42:01.000 There you go. 1.00

00:42:02.000 Not the best idea.

00:42:03.000 Let's go through the...

00:42:04.000 Possible pros, though.

00:42:06.000 And that was my first thing.

00:42:06.000 All con.

00:42:09.000 Con?

00:42:10.000 And then I thought, well, there could be some pros.

00:42:13.000 I mean, the first pro is it could be argued to provide a legitimate foothold for the United States in that region, which is kind of important.

00:42:22.000 It's nice to be closer to home whenever things go down.

00:42:25.000 And they tend to happen.

00:42:26.000 Yes, they do.

00:42:28.000 That's a pro.

00:42:30.000 Another pro.

00:42:31.000 You know, it would also be next to kind of our only ally in that.

00:42:35.000 And we wouldn't fire rockets at them.

00:42:38.000 That's a pro for Israel.

00:42:40.000 They would love that.

00:42:41.000 I think Israel might be more into this than most Americans, to be clear.

00:42:45.000 That's true.

00:42:46.000 And that's, no, it's not talking about the Jews running the media.

00:42:49.000 I'm just saying, look, we have to make this decision based on what's right for the United States, not necessarily for Israel. 0.77

00:42:55.000 I think a pro, you could argue.

00:42:58.000 Provide more stability for the immediate area, don't you think?

00:43:01.000 I think that's absolutely true.

00:43:03.000 Okay.

00:43:04.000 Anything else?

00:43:05.000 I haven't gotten it right at all.

00:43:07.000 Yeah.

00:43:07.000 Anything else?

00:43:08.000 I think it'd be a better life for the people in the economy of Gaza.

00:43:13.000 Potentially a better economy.

00:43:14.000 Look at the last decades.

00:43:15.000 Yeah.

00:43:16.000 Of what we've been doing here, it's not working.

00:43:18.000 Yeah, less bombs and tunnels, more like sandals resorts.

00:43:22.000 Or schools.

00:43:23.000 Yes.

00:43:23.000 Or playgrounds, perhaps.

00:43:25.000 Or club meds.

00:43:26.000 Playgrounds that are not used to fire mortars.

00:43:27.000 Yes, exactly.

00:43:28.000 I just need to clarify.

00:43:29.000 Or schools.

00:43:30.000 And, you know, the pro, I mean, the Jews don't seem to hate the idea.

00:43:34.000 So for them, that's a pro.

00:43:37.000 Jews like.

00:43:38.000 You can write that down as a pro.

00:43:39.000 Jews likey. 0.98

00:43:40.000 Jew likey. 1.00

00:43:40.000 Happy Jews. 1.00

00:43:43.000 Happy Jews, happy shoes. 0.76

00:43:45.000 It looks like we're five to four right now.

00:43:52.000 Yeah, but the cons are really big cons.

00:43:55.000 I mean, it's Gaza, that's like five cons. 0.95

00:43:59.000 Double, double cons.

00:44:00.000 I mean, if it's like the art of the deal kind of thing, great.

00:44:02.000 If it's like an actual plan to go in there, I'm like, ooh, this is going to be really dicey, and I'm not sure.

00:44:08.000 Yeah, I'm not for colonizing.

00:44:10.000 It could upset the rest of the world, not just...

00:44:13.000 Yeah, not just the Middle East.

00:44:14.000 It could upset, you know, like the Swedes. 1.00

00:44:16.000 They could get pissed.

00:44:17.000 Yeah, they could.

00:44:18.000 And then IKEA doesn't ship any goods to the US anymore.

00:44:20.000 I'm sure there are a few German stragglers who wouldn't be thrilled about it. 0.99

00:44:23.000 Yeah.

00:44:24.000 I'm keeping my eye on them.

00:44:27.000 Argentinians.

00:44:27.000 Argentinians, absolutely.

00:44:29.000 That's true.

00:44:30.000 Argentinians that might have a problem with it.

00:44:33.000 Perhaps some sympathizers in the Vatican.

00:44:37.000 Do you rate the smell?

00:44:39.000 The smell, yeah.

00:44:39.000 Yeah, the smell.

00:44:41.000 Wait, what?

00:44:41.000 Yeah, it's not great.

00:44:43.000 What if...

00:44:45.000 Okay, if it's the art of the deal where they're proposing maybe the United States going in just to kind of clean house and...

00:44:51.000 Give it to Israel. 1.00

00:44:52.000 That's maybe a potential middle ground?

00:44:56.000 What's your final opinion, Gerald?

00:45:00.000 Look, I commented on this.

00:45:02.000 They've never gotten it right.

00:45:03.000 The world is basically approaching this problem from the same direction they've always approached it from.

00:45:06.000 It's some kind of two-state solution that's never ever going to work because the other state wants to destroy Israel. 0.61

00:45:11.000 And it's always going to want to destroy Israel. 0.82

00:45:13.000 This place has been a hellhole.

00:45:14.000 And it's...

00:45:15.000 Primarily, in my opinion, you can argue with me on this if you want, because the people elected Hamas. 0.74

00:45:20.000 You can say it wasn't a legitimate election, fine, but it seems like for all intents and purposes, they elected Hamas. 0.75

00:45:25.000 Hamas is a terrorist organization that doesn't care about them. 0.80

00:45:27.000 It cares about destroying Israel. 0.99

00:45:29.000 Period, period, period.

00:45:30.000 Doesn't matter what Israel does. 0.66

00:45:32.000 Having the world on notice that the status quo is no longer acceptable, I think is fantastic.

00:45:38.000 Thinking about this from a different perspective, absolutely.

00:45:40.000 And by the way, I'm sorry, I don't care whose ancestral homeland it is.

00:45:43.000 It's hell.

00:45:44.000 Go find somewhere else to build a community.

00:45:48.000 If you're in Palestine, a person right now, a Palestinian living in Gaza, go somewhere else. 1.00

00:45:54.000 This is no way to make a life.

00:45:56.000 You're telling me that some hill over here because people 100 years ago, 500 years ago, lived there that are your relatives and that's why you want to stay there?

00:46:03.000 No, I'm sorry.

00:46:04.000 This is never going to work.

00:46:05.000 And if you really do care about your family and you care about having peace and tranquility, something different needs to happen.

00:46:11.000 Well, certainly something different in not simply using it for destruction.

00:46:15.000 That is the problem with Hamas. 0.87

00:46:17.000 And if that was the case, then it would be fine.

00:46:19.000 Stay there, everything's great.

00:46:20.000 But that's never been the case.

00:46:21.000 I don't know the solution on this, to be honest.

00:46:23.000 I'd love to hear your comments.

00:46:25.000 And I think, here's the thing, I think both positions are tenable.

00:46:29.000 Yeah.

00:46:29.000 I got another con.

00:46:30.000 The what?

00:46:30.000 I got another con.

00:46:31.000 It's expensive.

00:46:32.000 It is expensive.

00:46:32.000 A lot of our money.

00:46:33.000 I don't want to send my money.

00:46:34.000 No, that's resources in there.

00:46:35.000 What if there's like a way to make it back?

00:46:37.000 Yeah, booty. 0.97

00:46:39.000 Booty? 0.99

00:46:40.000 What if we do a little plundering?

00:46:41.000 A little plundering?

00:46:42.000 I don't think America should go in anywhere unless we have a little plundering.

00:46:45.000 A little Hamas tunnel plundering?

00:46:47.000 A little plundering.

00:46:47.000 Is there oil in Gaza?

00:46:49.000 I don't think there's a whole lot of oil, but you know, there's probably like some shrapnel.

00:46:53.000 Or make Israel pay for it. 0.89

00:46:55.000 Or make Israel pay for it. 0.89

00:46:56.000 We've given them enough money, they should start sending some back to us.

00:46:59.000 Like Mexico with the wall.

00:47:00.000 I lean toward no.

00:47:04.000 But if there's some really convincing data, economic data, that it could be a net gain and would check all the boxes, I'd be open to hearing it.

00:47:15.000 But my instinct is no.

00:47:16.000 My instinct is also no.

00:47:17.000 But we'll see with some of the details.

00:47:19.000 You know who is probably willing to come to the table now?

00:47:22.000 Literally everyone.

00:47:23.000 What?

00:47:24.000 Fine, fine, fine.

00:47:26.000 I'm sure Egypt isn't keen to the idea of us being next door. 0.96

00:47:29.000 But right now, I bet you Denmark is like, Okay, we weren't serious about Kremlin.

00:47:33.000 We get it!

00:47:34.000 We don't need a McDonald's going up in our capital.

00:47:42.000 Thank you, Josh.

00:47:45.000 Appreciate it.

00:47:46.000 The handwriting, not that great.

00:47:48.000 Mine is worse.

00:47:49.000 No, it's hard to do leaning over and quickly.

00:47:52.000 Yes, it is.

00:47:53.000 Smiley face.

00:47:54.000 I do appreciate it.

00:47:55.000 What the heck was the any hole?

00:48:00.000 Any hole will do.

00:48:01.000 It's a hell hole, but hey, any hole will do.

00:48:03.000 That's true.

00:48:03.000 I mean, I think I nailed it.

00:48:05.000 A lot of holes.

00:48:06.000 That's Shia LaBeouf.

00:48:07.000 Now, for context as to what's gone on over there the last couple years, you all know that I have been remarkably consistent as it relates to wars, being supportive of legitimate wars that are obviously...

00:48:19.000 Where the American interest is at stake and, of course, opposing wars that don't actually involve.

00:48:26.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:48:27.000 All the way back to 2009. I don't think that that's true, Stephen.

00:48:30.000 What do you mean, Gerald?

00:48:32.000 We have to do this again?

00:48:33.000 Tim, roll it. 0.66

00:48:34.000 No.

00:48:35.000 And look, let's just call it what it is.

00:48:42.000 It's a war for oil.

00:48:44.000 Yes.

00:48:44.000 It's a war for oil.

00:48:45.000 That's what it is.

00:48:46.000 It's about this war on terror.

00:48:48.000 It's about oil so Dick Cheney can give money to his rich friends.

00:48:52.000 And you know what?

00:48:54.000 Osama bin Laden wasn't even there.

00:48:55.000 He wasn't even there.

00:48:56.000 He had nothing to do with Saddam Hussein.

00:49:00.000 If we moved to green energy, God forbid, solar, wind.

00:49:05.000 There you go.

00:49:06.000 We wouldn't even need to be killing people. 0.99

00:49:09.000 Killing innocent brown people. 1.00

00:49:11.000 Yes. 1.00

00:49:11.000 Because of Islamophobia, but really in search of more oil. 1.00

00:49:15.000 It's a religion of peace, for crying out loud.

00:49:17.000 Yeah.

00:49:18.000 George W. Bush, Skull and Bones.

00:49:21.000 Well, that's not fair.

00:49:26.000 Neocons, it was a different political paradigm. 0.96

00:49:29.000 Your opinions on paper, dude.

00:49:31.000 Matters.

00:49:31.000 Hey, this just came in from Mission Control, I guess.

00:49:33.000 Chuck Schumer, supercut to MC Baba.

00:49:40.000 It was great, but it wasn't enough.

00:49:44.000 It's a super quick cut.

00:49:45.000 Always leaving them wanting more, says MC Baba.

00:49:50.000 Of course, I'm translating from...

00:49:51.000 I understood the intent.

00:49:57.000 What are you, Helen Keller's interpreter?

00:50:00.000 Helen Keller's a myth.

00:50:01.000 I know, that's what I mean.

00:50:04.000 Actually, I think we have a three and three on Helen Keller.

00:50:05.000 But let's move from Gaza to something that we can actually control here in the United States. 0.98

00:50:10.000 And I think that should primarily be the focus of this administration, improving lives for Americans in ways that are rightfully under the purview of the American federal government.

00:50:19.000 And a big part of that is downsizing.

00:50:20.000 So, yes, I have no problem with this.

00:50:24.000 I have advocated for it for a long time.

00:50:26.000 Ronald Reagan campaigned on this, and then the Department of Education only grew.

00:50:31.000 I will tell you this.

00:50:33.000 I believe it is completely irrational.

00:50:37.000 In a logically untenable situation to look at our Department of Education and to advocate more resources being put into it.

00:50:49.000 If you are results-oriented in any way, if people say you have to look at the empirical, you have to look at the data, there is no case that can be legitimately made to argue for the Department of Education as it currently exists.

00:51:02.000 And yesterday, President Trump pledged to work with Congress and teachers' unions To try and close the Department of Education.

00:51:09.000 And on the Education Department, why nominate Linda McMahon to be the Education Department Secretary if you're going to get rid of the Education Department? 1.00

00:51:18.000 Because I told Linda, Linda, I hope you do a great job and put yourself out of a job.

00:51:23.000 I want her to put herself out of a job. 1.00

00:51:26.000 Education Department.

00:51:27.000 So we're ranked number 40 out of 40 schools, right?

00:51:31.000 We're ranked number one in cost per pupil.

00:51:33.000 So we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world.

00:51:36.000 And we're ranked at the bottom of the list.

00:51:38.000 We're ranked very badly.

00:51:39.000 And what I want to do is let the states run schools.

00:51:42.000 I believe strongly in school choice.

00:51:45.000 But in addition to that, I want the states to run schools.

00:51:47.000 And I want Lyndon to put herself out of a job.

00:51:50.000 I think I'd work with Congress.

00:51:52.000 I think we'd get, look, we'd have to work with the teachers' union because the teachers' union is the only one that's opposed to it.

00:51:57.000 Nobody else would want to hold him back.

00:52:00.000 Look, we have to tell the teachers union, we're rated last in the world.

00:52:04.000 Everything he has just said is correct.

00:52:08.000 And this is the perfect time to actually introduce YouTube.

00:52:10.000 Many of you have subscribed and followed it.

00:52:12.000 You can listen to it wherever audio podcasts are available.

00:52:16.000 The show that we have that accompanies this, three and three.

00:52:22.000 And the first one we ever did was on...

00:52:26.000 The Department of Education.

00:52:27.000 It's three key facts in three minutes or less.

00:52:30.000 Anywhere podcasts are available, you can go to threekeyfacts.com so that you can peruse all of the references.

00:52:36.000 It's a place to start on some key issues.

00:52:39.000 So I'm just going to, I guess, in video form, present that, and then we'll expound upon it because we have a longer show here.

00:52:46.000 So key fact number one is the create...

00:52:49.000 The creation of the Department of Education.

00:52:51.000 So the Federal Department of Education, as we know it today, was created in 1979 under Jimmy Carter, significantly increased the federal government's role in funding public education.

00:53:00.000 So prior to the Federal Department of Education, the federal government largely played an advisory role, while the funding for public education, it came almost entirely from state and local governments.

00:53:11.000 Key fact number two.

00:53:13.000 The cost of the Department of Education is astronomical.

00:53:19.000 In total, the Federal Department of Education has spent over $2 trillion since its inception, not accounting for inflation.

00:53:27.000 Also, key fact there, Noodles, you pointed this out.

00:53:31.000 They also probably need to lose their funding for spelling education wrong.

00:53:36.000 On their own website.

00:53:40.000 We didn't even...

00:53:42.000 So, as a matter of fact, just so you know, today, because you'll see these stickers out there when, you know, school, when the Air Force has to host bake sales for their bombers and schools get the funding, okay, over $2 trillion.

00:53:53.000 Today, the Department of Education's discretionary budget is the third largest of the federal government.

00:53:58.000 The only ones that are larger, Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services.

00:54:01.000 Key fact number three.

00:54:03.000 You have the founding, you have the amount of money, which is insane, that brings us to the results.

00:54:10.000 Even after the trillions of dollars in federal funding, the results, the standardized results of students have remained almost entirely unchanged since 1979 when the department was founded.

00:54:23.000 And even worse, there's new data emerging that today shows a negative trend with standardized math scores at their lowest since 1990, reading scores at their lowest since 2004. That's three and three, three key facts in three minutes or less.

00:54:45.000 And you can go and download those.

00:54:47.000 There's the party switch myth, three minutes, abortion, taxes, immigration, the assassination attempt on President Trump, the gender wage gap.

00:54:55.000 You can go and download those wherever audio podcasts exist.

00:54:58.000 So let's expound upon that now.

00:55:00.000 The founding.

00:55:02.000 You cannot argue $2 trillion and worse results and say, Put more money into it.

00:55:07.000 And not adjusted for inflation.

00:55:09.000 That's not adjusted for inflation.

00:55:11.000 We'll go through these again and kind of add some context.

00:55:14.000 So, in 1973, the Supreme Court did affirm that education is a state's right.

00:55:19.000 San Antonio ISD versus Rodriguez.

00:55:22.000 Supreme Court wrote, Though education is one of the most important services performed by the state, it is not within the limited category of rights recognized by this court as guaranteed by the federal constitution.

00:55:36.000 And by the way, each and every one of the 50 state constitutions establish some kind of public education system.

00:55:42.000 So again, before the trillions of dollars, your parents still had access to public school, and the results were better.

00:55:49.000 We've spent more.

00:55:51.000 Results are worse.

00:55:53.000 That's why my dad thinks he's smarter than me.

00:55:55.000 Yes, because he most likely is, if you compare that generation on average.

00:55:59.000 They may not be as informed on modern issues like technology, right?

00:56:04.000 Things change, but as far as baseline education, yes, they were.

00:56:08.000 They received a well-balanced education.

00:56:10.000 Let's get into the cost and the waste.

00:56:13.000 So from 1980 to 2021, it's about $2 trillion.

00:56:18.000 And you wonder, okay, where is this money going?

00:56:20.000 Like in 2019, The federal government wasted billions of dollars on grant programs.

00:56:26.000 Billions of dollars.

00:56:27.000 To give you an idea, 2024, the Department of Education received $268 billion in federal funding.

00:56:33.000 That's 4% of all federal funding.

00:56:36.000 Student loans, to give you an idea, over the last 25 years, they went from generating...

00:56:41.000 $114 billion in income to the government to costing the government $197 billion.

00:56:46.000 Well, that just keeps going up when they try to forgive student debt.

00:56:49.000 Exactly.

00:56:49.000 Yes.

00:56:50.000 There's been money that's been wasted.

00:56:51.000 Things like DEI, administration.

00:56:54.000 You look at the students, the teacher populations.

00:56:57.000 You look at the student-to-teacher ratios.

00:56:59.000 These aren't good, but if you look at other private schools, for example, in New York, Catholic schools, they have a larger student-per-teacher ratio, more students-per-teacher, and they perform better.

00:57:09.000 The school district administrations in general, they grew about 87%.

00:57:14.000 Even though there's only 9% student growth.

00:57:17.000 Yes, 9% student growth, but way larger administrative growth in the school library porn sections grew by 69%.

00:57:24.000 79% of school districts with more than 100,000 students have a chief diversity officer.

00:57:33.000 The other 21% are in black neighborhoods.

00:57:36.000 To be clear.

00:57:37.000 Now, this is where you're looking at the fraud because you can't really put a number on the DEI propaganda and social engineering until you do some digging, then you can put a number on it.

00:57:47.000 And you can certainly look at the system and say, well, this system is broken.

00:57:51.000 And part of the foundation right now of this system is we've gone away from merit-based.

00:57:57.000 We've gone to DEI. We've gone to identity politics.

00:58:00.000 Any way that you slice it, and this is where you can have Mark Cuban come on and say, actually, diversity makes us better.

00:58:05.000 Okay.

00:58:05.000 Two trillion dollars, not adjusted for inflation, worse results.

00:58:11.000 Let me ask you this.

00:58:12.000 What does it take?

00:58:14.000 What does it take?

00:58:16.000 That's how you know that leftism, progressivism, is a religion.

00:58:20.000 It's dogmatic.

00:58:22.000 Where when faced with irrefutable evidence, this is one of those subjects, there is no argument to be made that the Department of Education has improved education at all.

00:58:32.000 They still say, more money please, more money please.

00:58:34.000 Let's go to the performance, by the way, to get a little more granular.

00:58:38.000 Since the founding of the DOE, standardized test scores, they haven't gotten better, like I told you.

00:58:43.000 Math, lowest since 1990. Reading is the lowest since 2004. And so, wait, if the DOE is the third largest budget, and we spent two trillion math tests, it sucks.

00:59:02.000 Yeah, that's the right conclusion.

00:59:05.000 Lowest scores, some cases, 35 years.

00:59:08.000 Let me give you a specific example.

00:59:09.000 So that's the empirical.

00:59:10.000 Let me give you one example.

00:59:12.000 2021, Illinois received $7 billion in federal funds for schools.

00:59:16.000 This fee, I think, dispersed over three years.

00:59:20.000 You guys have the references there.

00:59:21.000 In 2023, Illinois had zero students proficient in reading in 32 schools.

00:59:31.000 Zero students.

00:59:32.000 Proficient in math in 67 schools.

00:59:35.000 Jeez.

00:59:36.000 $7 billion two years later, zero, even passable in basic reading and math in dozens of schools.

00:59:46.000 I know you're saying that's an outlier.

00:59:48.000 Okay, again, the meta-analysis looking at, from a bird's eye view, $2 trillion?

00:59:54.000 It's bad across the board.

00:59:55.000 Could have used that money to cheat instead.

00:59:58.000 Yes, exactly.

00:59:58.000 You know, like they do in India, where they have people come in, take their tests and degree mills so they can get an H-1B. 2023, Maryland received $350 million from the Department of Education.

01:00:10.000 Results?

01:00:11.000 Zero.

01:00:12.000 Students in 40% of Baltimore high schools passed the Maryland State math exam.

01:00:18.000 What?

01:00:19.000 In 40% of all high schools in Baltimore.

01:00:23.000 There was not one high school student who passed the basic math exam.

01:00:29.000 Wow.

01:00:30.000 Dang.

01:00:31.000 And it starts at the top.

01:00:32.000 And then they get a diploma?

01:00:35.000 Depends.

01:00:35.000 They just hang out for a while, do a couple of pictures.

01:00:37.000 Depends on the color of the skin, on the gender.

01:00:39.000 And it starts at the top.

01:00:40.000 And, you know, I would say the top is pretty bad considering the Department of Education cannot even spell the word education!

01:00:47.000 Yeah, I jumped the gun.

01:00:48.000 You can admonish me.

01:00:49.000 Educaton! 0.86

01:00:52.000 You guys can comment.

01:00:54.000 Anyone out there go to public schools?

01:00:55.000 I went to public schools in Canada.

01:00:56.000 They were much better than here.

01:00:57.000 I didn't realize that in the United States, you had to go to one public school because we were allowed to go to any school if we were able to get on a bus or our parents would drive us.

01:01:06.000 The schools were better.

01:01:08.000 The United States, we should be the best at everything.

01:01:11.000 We have the resources to.

01:01:13.000 We have the ingenuity to.

01:01:15.000 We have the people here who can make it better.

01:01:17.000 They're just not allowed to.

01:01:20.000 If anyone can make the case as to why American students, why the United States is better off with the current Department of Education as it exists, please reach out.

01:01:33.000 Because I have never heard it.

01:01:35.000 Not anything even remotely convincing.

01:01:38.000 Everybody out there freaking out about this.

01:01:40.000 This was a state issue for a very long time.

01:01:42.000 It needs to go back to being a state issue.

01:01:44.000 For only because we understand...

01:01:46.000 Bureaucracy, it's going to slow things down, it's going to cost money, and it's also a one-size-fits-all solution.

01:01:51.000 And that's not going to work in these communities in different states across the country.

01:01:55.000 There are different needs in different districts, and a state can address that a lot better than a federal program.

01:02:00.000 By the way, certain states kind of lead the way in this anyway, Texas being one of those states.

01:02:04.000 Second thing is, you should be able to spend your dollars, your tax dollars in Texas through property taxes that go to funding the schools, you should be able to spend those dollars as a student wherever you want to go.

01:02:14.000 And by the way, Don't tell me that's just going to benefit the white communities and people that have privilege.

01:02:19.000 No, it's going to benefit people that are stuck at one of those 32 high schools in Illinois that can't pass the reading test or the 67 that can't pass the math test.

01:02:28.000 Or maybe it's the 40% of people in Baltimore that can't pass the state proficiency test in math.

01:02:36.000 You can get out of those places, not just be, well, you live here, so you've got to go to that school. 0.95

01:02:41.000 You're screwed, I'm sorry. 0.95

01:02:42.000 Just look at it economically. 0.99

01:02:43.000 If you're in a poor neighborhood, you've got a poor school.

01:02:45.000 A lot of places, property taxes or taxes are levied for their school system, so if you can have the choice to take the same amount of money and go to a different school, wouldn't that be better for a minority?

01:02:55.000 Of course.

01:02:55.000 Yeah, you would think so.

01:02:56.000 I mean, I'm just looking at it economically, but that's how it ends up being usually.

01:03:00.000 It also makes it really clear to me, you know, you've seen it with the left in engineering as far as gender relationships and trying to say that men and women are the same and interchangeable.

01:03:09.000 This really makes sense when you think about the fact that our government, our media, our entertainment industry has constantly vilified those in business.

01:03:19.000 The business owner...

01:03:20.000 The wealthy person is the bad guy, right? 1.00

01:03:23.000 Every single time they show up in a film, it's the dad who's a dick who only cares about money. 0.99

01:03:27.000 You know why? 0.98

01:03:28.000 They are deathly afraid of being the only entity of this size, being the federal government, of being treated exactly like a business.

01:03:37.000 And that is precisely what we need anywhere else in a business.

01:03:40.000 If you walk in, Gerald, CEO, says, hey, we really need increased funding in, I don't know.

01:03:47.000 Advertising.

01:03:48.000 Whatever it is.

01:03:48.000 Increased funding for...

01:03:49.000 I go, okay.

01:03:50.000 What did we spend last year?

01:03:52.000 We spent a million dollars.

01:03:55.000 Okay.

01:03:56.000 What do we have to show for it?

01:03:57.000 Well, we have this amount of revenue.

01:03:59.000 1.2.

01:03:59.000 Okay, so it's a net positive.

01:04:01.000 And can you tell me how this will benefit us in the future?

01:04:03.000 Whatever it is.

01:04:03.000 What is this employee provided?

01:04:05.000 Okay.

01:04:05.000 What's the cost?

01:04:07.000 What's the cost analysis here?

01:04:09.000 Or if you came to me, though, and said, hey...

01:04:11.000 We need more money for new equipment.

01:04:13.000 I said, well, how much have we spent?

01:04:15.000 And you said, two trillion dollars.

01:04:18.000 And I said, what do we have to show for it?

01:04:20.000 You said, well, remember how we used to have HD? We don't have that anymore.

01:04:25.000 Yeah, remember how we used to be able to do that?

01:04:26.000 We don't have that anymore.

01:04:28.000 Yeah, we actually have fewer viewers, fewer subscribers, less ad revenue, and lower quality video.

01:04:33.000 I would say, well, maybe it's time to make a change.

01:04:34.000 The only place that doesn't exist.

01:04:36.000 And they are deathly afraid of any type of change.

01:04:39.000 Is in the federal government.

01:04:41.000 Nowhere else could this exist in nature.

01:04:44.000 It is a hemorrhaging of resources.

01:04:48.000 And the worst part is, we're hemorrhaging the resources, the left wants you to turn a blind eye, and it's harming kids.

01:04:55.000 It's harming our children.

01:04:58.000 We live in an era where information and education has never been more accessible, regardless of social status, wealth. 1.00

01:05:06.000 And people are dumber. 0.72

01:05:09.000 Just like we've never had more access to healthy food and information regarding healthy habits, exercise, eating, sleeping, and we're fatter with a lower life expectancy. 0.99

01:05:23.000 How do we get here?

01:05:24.000 And at what point do we say, oh, okay, $2 trillion not adjusted for inflation.

01:05:28.000 It's not working.

01:05:30.000 Hey, our approach to health is not working.

01:05:34.000 The only way you can make the case for the current Democrat Party and progressivism is if you believe that change is evil and that more money solves the problem.

01:05:46.000 You have to start with that as the premise for how you approach any problem.

01:05:52.000 No change.

01:05:53.000 We can't do that.

01:05:54.000 That's evil.

01:05:55.000 And more money will always solve the problem.

01:05:57.000 We've seen the opposite in reality.

01:05:59.000 I don't know what it takes.

01:06:01.000 And I think you're going to see the pendulum swing more in the direction of the right, because people know that our educational system is broken.

01:06:08.000 People know that our healthcare system is broken.

01:06:10.000 People have bitched for a very long time, said, hey, no one does anything about it.

01:06:13.000 Well, guess what?

01:06:14.000 Now we are.

01:06:15.000 And the good news is, it really can't get all that much worse.

01:06:20.000 Two trillion dollars and worse results.

01:06:24.000 Are you clear?

01:06:26.000 Nothing else matters.

01:06:27.000 That's it?

01:06:28.000 It's done.

01:06:28.000 You can say whatever you want.

01:06:30.000 You can argue $2 trillion and we're shittier.

01:06:34.000 You get nothing.

01:06:37.000 By the way, join Rumble Premium.

01:06:38.000 We're going to continue talking about this and more.

01:06:40.000 I don't know that there's much more to say.

01:06:42.000 None of this happens without you, including, by the way, the 3 in 3 show that you can listen to on audio.

01:06:47.000 We always want to provide you with different rungs in the ladder, a place to start.

01:06:50.000 And I know, it's like drinking from a fire hose.

01:06:51.000 Sometimes there's so much information.

01:06:52.000 When there's so much, sometimes there's no information out there.

01:06:54.000 We did have one thing we wanted to maybe take a look at.

01:06:58.000 The new Jurassic Park trailer just dropped?

01:07:00.000 No!

01:07:01.000 No, I think we should, because it's Jurassic World.

01:07:05.000 Rebirth.

01:07:06.000 We love Jurassic Park.

01:07:08.000 The original Jurassic Park.

01:07:10.000 I like the Jurassic Worlds.

01:07:12.000 The first world was okay.

01:07:14.000 The one where they tried to save the dinosaurs that ended up eating everybody, that's not okay.

01:07:17.000 Just gas them and let it be over with.

01:07:19.000 But there apparently is a need for a rebirth.

01:07:21.000 The Jurassic Worlds were so bad, they are an affront to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

01:07:24.000 Wow.

01:07:25.000 Hey, now, Chris Pratt's a Christian.

01:07:28.000 He is.

01:07:28.000 He is an outspoken Christian.

01:07:30.000 Look, look, he can atone.

01:07:31.000 Are you going to tell him for his sins?

01:07:32.000 He will.

01:07:33.000 You got to see it.

01:07:34.000 It just dropped.

01:07:34.000 We're going to watch it now?

01:07:35.000 Tim, let's play it.

01:07:36.000 Please don't.

01:07:39.000 Dr. Henry Loomis, this is Zora Bennett, our mission specialist.
