00:03:52.000 What can be with you?

00:04:03.000 They're doing...

00:04:04.000 Sound like Jack Klugman.

00:04:10.000 They're doing RFK right now.

00:04:12.000 By that I mean they're doing a confirmation hearing.

00:04:14.000 And like I said yesterday, and you can comment below, I would answer every single question with red dye number three.

00:04:24.000 What do you base these conspirators?

00:04:26.000 Red dye number three.

00:04:29.000 Yes, but don't you believe the experts, the medical...

00:04:31.000 Red dye.

00:04:34.000 Three.

00:04:35.000 Every single one.

00:04:37.000 You know they banned it!

00:04:38.000 Because he was going to come in and people were going to have access to the papers.

00:04:41.000 So if nothing else, we can thank that overly tanned carnivore for getting us red dye number three banned. 0.64

00:04:48.000 We are going to be talking about today, friend of the show, Caroline Levitt.

00:04:53.000 Had her first briefing.

00:04:54.000 Give me the rundown, the best moments, and new press badges going out.

00:04:59.000 Foreshadowing.

00:05:01.000 France is somehow making threats.

00:05:03.000 It involves...

00:05:04.000 Hey, don't laugh.

00:05:07.000 And we're going to go through the funding freeze, the federal funding freeze, which I don't know if you know this is just like Hitler. 0.66

00:05:13.000 We all remember when Adolf Hitler came in and froze national funding and downsized the government and offered severance for employees so that, of course, the centralized National Socialist Workers' Party would be, you know, they'd be of the people.

00:05:30.000 We must make the government smaller!

00:05:32.000 Yes.

00:05:32.000 And they gave them all guns, too.

00:05:35.000 God chose the Jews, but Samuel Colt made them equal. 0.99

00:05:39.000 Now, at some point, guarantee you, today, you are going to, if you're still on YouTube, I don't know why, see or hear this.

00:05:51.000 Head on over to...

00:05:52.000 Hey, it's a new button.

00:05:52.000 It is.

00:05:55.000 even Fridays if you're a Rumble premium member.

00:05:57.000 Yeah.

00:05:58.000 Let me ask you this.

00:05:59.000 What do you think is the most useless and maybe most useful both government program in the United States?

00:06:05.000 Because we're slashing stuff.

00:06:07.000 I'm afraid of.

00:06:09.000 And Captain Morgan, CEO, number two, is there.

00:06:11.000 And of course, in third chair, funniest man.

00:06:13.000 Well, not of course, but a special guest.

00:06:14.000 Funniest man alive.

00:06:15.000 He is going to be at the Bricktown Comedy Club.

00:06:18.000 February 20th, you can see all of his dates at nickdip.com.

00:06:22.000 Oh, I also have, he just said, February 21st, Funny Bone in St. Louis.

00:06:25.000 Nick DiPaolo, how are you, sir?

00:06:26.000 Very good, and I am the funniest man alive.

00:06:28.000 I think those venues prove...

00:06:30.000 Yes, yes.

00:06:32.000 Who wants to have been playing for 41 years?

00:06:34.000 Funny Bone.

00:06:35.000 Really rocketed my career.

00:06:37.000 I'm fond of the Chuckle Hut.

00:06:38.000 That one burned down.

00:06:39.000 Last time I played it, yes, a lady hit me in the chest with a full Heineken, things got wild.

00:06:44.000 Well, I guess you had the last chuckle.

00:06:47.000 I did.

00:06:50.000 I hate myself.

00:06:51.000 So, RFK Jr. being confirmed.

00:06:53.000 And by the way, this is breaking.

00:06:55.000 Someone caught a reporter writing a negative headline about RFK Jr. before the hearing even began.

00:07:00.000 Cut a screenshot.

00:07:01.000 So here you go.

00:07:02.000 This is on X. It says, RFK Jr. faces grilling on anti-vaccine comments and animal mutilation at confirmation hearing.

00:07:08.000 The point here is that they've already decided how they're going to label you.

00:07:12.000 So stop.

00:07:13.000 Stop appeasing crocodiles this field. 0.99

00:07:15.000 Just let your freak flag fly. 0.99

00:07:17.000 Speaking of freaks.

00:07:19.000 Joy Reid, I thought we were past this.

00:07:21.000 We're not.

00:07:22.000 We're not.

00:07:22.000 We are not.

00:07:23.000 We are not past this because we're still, we're still at Hitler, Hitler something, Donald Trump, Hitler, at least in Joy Reid world.

00:07:32.000 Stalin's Red Army walked through the gates of Auschwitz and uncovered the true inhumanity and evil of the Nazi regime. 0.75

00:07:38.000 One second pause.

00:07:39.000 One second pause.

00:07:39.000 Why does she not feel the need to say Stalin bad the way we all do with Hitler?

00:07:44.000 Why does she not feel the need to go, now Stalin, who's terrible. 0.83

00:07:47.000 Right?

00:07:48.000 She just skims past it.

00:07:50.000 Alright, so I continue.

00:07:52.000 Millions of men, women, and children murdered.

00:07:54.000 Thousands more starved, beaten, humiliated, and robbed of their dignity.

00:07:58.000 But how did Hitler do it? 1.00

00:08:00.000 I don't know, you bald bitch. 1.00

00:08:01.000 the support of millions of ordinary Germans who just wanted Germany to be great again. 1.00

00:08:06.000 And business leaders who initially thought they could control him.

00:08:08.000 Plus a cadre of devout political allies willing to do whatever he said for the sake of power.

00:08:14.000 Hitler emerged emboldened after being imprisoned for staging a coup. 0.55

00:08:18.000 His rage and xenophobia gained followers after the financial ruin of World War I and the Great Depression. - I see what you're trying to do. - And helped get him selected as chancellor.

00:08:26.000 Once in power, he moved with shock and awe, Yeah, we just have to keep going.

00:08:32.000 Don't think we don't notice the alopecia, Joy.

00:08:39.000 She looks like every point guard in St. John's. 0.98

00:08:51.000 God, I hate her. 0.99

00:08:52.000 Okay, nice right. 0.98

00:08:52.000 Okay, okay, okay. 0.98

00:09:04.000 Okay, okay, okay, okay.

00:09:08.000 Control the media.

00:09:09.000 What you really mean to say here is...

00:09:11.000 Let's use Zuckerberg Meta as an example.

00:09:13.000 What they said was, we did too much of the government's bidding.

00:09:17.000 We're not going to do that anymore.

00:09:18.000 Yes, control the media.

00:09:19.000 Like, threatening public...

00:09:21.000 like threatening companies that are treated as public platforms, to be clear, with some kind of reprimanding if they don't allow free and open discussion like that kind of control over the media or the media on which you right now mount your soapbox.

00:09:34.000 Which kind of media is it that he controls?

00:09:37.000 You talk about the Jews and something, I guess you're trying to compare them to immigrants?

00:09:41.000 Is that what you're saying?

00:09:41.000 No, hold on a second, those were legal residents of Germany.

00:09:43.000 We didn't have a problem with Hitler trying to make Germany great again. 0.67

00:09:47.000 I saw that little kind of slip-in you did.

00:09:49.000 It was more so the expansionism, the genocide, the exterminating people. 0.76

00:09:54.000 He certainly wasn't an isolationist because he took over half of Europe.

00:09:58.000 Oh, we all remember when Hitler, he decided to extol the virtues of federalism and states' rights. 0.97

00:10:03.000 I don't know if you know this, Donald Trump is actually giving more rights back to the states.

00:10:06.000 He is!

00:10:07.000 Freezing federal funding to look at it and try and cut waste to downsize it.

00:10:10.000 Almost the opposite of what Hitler did. 0.85

00:10:15.000 It's just so lazy at this point, but nothing like perpetuating the negative original stereotype.

00:10:20.000 Speaking of negative stereotype, unless anyone else has anything to say about Joy Reid.

00:10:24.000 I do.

00:10:24.000 Two words for Joy Reid.

00:10:25.000 Sickle cell.

00:10:28.000 Anyways.

00:10:30.000 Sometimes stereotypes, they're not stereotypes, they're just medical facts.

00:10:34.000 No.

00:10:35.000 That's right.

00:10:36.000 Amen, brother man.

00:10:38.000 France.

00:10:38.000 So yesterday, the French foreign minister said that France had talked with Denmark.

00:10:44.000 About sending troops to Greenland to defend against the USA. Sending French troops to Greenland.

00:10:51.000 Great!

00:10:52.000 Said the Danish soldiers looking for an easy first kill.

00:10:57.000 Can't they just surrender in France?

00:10:59.000 Sorry, Greenland soldiers. 1.00

00:11:01.000 No need to travel.

00:11:03.000 Literally, if I were to pick, and I'm not saying this figuratively, if I were to pick, someone said, you have to pick... 0.98

00:11:08.000 An army whose ass Greenland could kick, I'd go, I don't know, maybe France? 0.98

00:11:14.000 I know, first one. 0.99

00:11:16.000 Absolutely.

00:11:17.000 I guess France, even then.

00:11:19.000 Yeah, probably France.

00:11:20.000 Then they're going to call in the Eagle Scouts.

00:11:22.000 This is like, you know what France is?

00:11:25.000 France is like, it's like one of those arguments where it's like, no, no, no, no, you're not leaving me, I leave you.

00:11:32.000 We're going to protect, we're going to go to war.

00:11:34.000 Where's the tough guys?

00:11:36.000 What?

00:11:37.000 You have nothing to offer?

00:11:38.000 You're gonna go protect Greenland?

00:11:41.000 From the United States?

00:11:43.000 France?

00:11:45.000 Good luck.

00:11:46.000 Are you out of your tree, sir?

00:11:47.000 The whole world is going nuts.

00:11:49.000 None of it makes any sense.

00:11:51.000 And I'm glad that we get to talk about it.

00:11:52.000 This is Controlled Media by Donald Trump.

00:11:54.000 That's right, yes.

00:11:55.000 Controlled Media.

00:11:56.000 So, hey, help control that media.

00:12:16.000 Joy Reid or?

00:12:18.000 Dennis Rodman.

00:12:19.000 Demolition Man.

00:12:20.000 Demolition Man.

00:12:22.000 Simon Phoenix.

00:12:23.000 Exactly right.

00:12:26.000 She's very feminine, isn't she? 0.73

00:12:27.000 Yeah, she is.

00:12:28.000 They had that, but we moved on quickly.

00:12:29.000 I wanted to go back to it.

00:12:31.000 She has a dancer's legs. 1.00

00:12:32.000 No.

00:12:33.000 Boxer's face.

00:12:37.000 God, I'd like it.

00:12:40.000 What people in boxing would refer to as a tune-up fight.

00:12:44.000 Last jaw.

00:13:00.000 What is that?

00:13:02.000 Is that an outlawed word now?

00:13:04.000 You thought George Bush was bad?

00:13:06.000 Trump will not get into tomorrow, Joy! 0.99

00:13:09.000 Slap her in the face. 0.99

00:13:10.000 You didn't even see that coming, did you? 0.99

00:13:12.000 Got a cauliflower on your lips.

00:13:18.000 Wow.

00:13:19.000 That is dead on.

00:13:20.000 Let's go to someone we do like.

00:13:22.000 We'll start with Joy Reid and France.

00:13:24.000 I don't know which one I dislike more.

00:13:26.000 Yesterday afternoon, and this has been going around on social, but context is pretty important.

00:13:29.000 We'll make all the references available.

00:13:31.000 New White House press secretary and youngest ever, Caroline Levitt.

00:13:36.000 Held the first press conference.

00:13:38.000 And so, that means it's time for our inaugural, and probably will be weekly, installment of Sweet Caroline.

00:13:45.000 Press Secretary Caroline That podium never looked so good Last time around It was a Lesbo-Mafia club And it's not a white-black thing. 1.00

00:14:12.000 No. 0.97

00:14:13.000 It's a Karen Jean-Pierre was repulsive.

00:14:15.000 Yes.

00:14:16.000 Caroline Levitt.

00:14:17.000 Fine.

00:14:18.000 How old is she? 0.98

00:14:19.000 She's 14. Just right.

00:14:22.000 She's baby bear. 1.00

00:14:24.000 Trump likes to be surrounded by beautiful women, but they're also competent. 1.00

00:14:32.000 It's refreshing after seeing Mophead for four and a half years spreading her horse shit. 1.00

00:14:38.000 And they'll say it's creepy. 1.00

00:14:39.000 It's like, I think it's creepy to have young people act as human blood bags.

00:14:42.000 That's weirder to me than having pretty competent young ladies. 0.99

00:14:46.000 But that's me, Mr. Old Fashioned.

00:14:49.000 Let's go to the top five moments here and why it matters.

00:14:52.000 We'll count and we'll go in descending order, right?

00:14:55.000 Number five.

00:14:56.000 Okay.

00:14:56.000 Right out of the chute.

00:14:58.000 Levitt rapid-fired the accomplishments from this administration, which I know it's kind of crazy.

00:15:03.000 You're like, did I dream that?

00:15:04.000 It's only been one week.

00:15:05.000 Since taking the oath of office, President Trump has taken more than 300 executive actions, secured nearly $1 trillion in U.S. investments, Deported illegal alien rapists, gang members, and suspected terrorists from our homeland, and restored common sense to the federal government.

00:15:25.000 Think about this.

00:15:26.000 The leftists there are mad when they hear that.

00:15:29.000 That's right.

00:15:30.000 We don't live in the same country.

00:15:33.000 There are people that are going, we're saying the same thing. 0.97

00:15:36.000 She's saying, he's deported violent criminals, rapists, and they're going, he's deported violent criminals and rapists! 0.98

00:15:43.000 Mm-hmm. 0.96

00:15:45.000 Nothing more to add to that.

00:15:46.000 I'm good with it.

00:15:47.000 Push back against that.

00:15:48.000 Yeah, I know.

00:15:49.000 Think about it.

00:15:50.000 Oh, don't worry.

00:15:50.000 They do.

00:15:51.000 They do.

00:15:51.000 We'll get to it.

00:15:52.000 Yeah.

00:15:52.000 Let's go to a key moment here.

00:15:54.000 Highlight, I guess, top number four.

00:15:55.000 Yeah.

00:15:56.000 She did announce some sweeping changes, which may have some relevance to the folks here in this room, regarding the Trump White House and the briefing room with the media.

00:16:06.000 I'm excited to announce the following changes will be made to this historic James S. Brady briefing room, where Mr. Brady's legacy will endure.

00:16:15.000 This White House believes strongly in the First Amendment, so it's why our team will work diligently to restore the press passes of the 440 journalists whose passes were wrongly revoked by the previous administration.

00:16:28.000 We're also opening up this room to new media voices who produce news-related content and whose outlet is not already represented by one of the seats in this room.

00:16:39.000 Which makes sense that she went on to announce the upcoming bout between Lily Phillips and Jim Acosta.

00:16:44.000 That's going to be...

00:16:46.000 So I can see it going both ways.

00:16:49.000 But think about that.

00:16:50.000 We go back to the Hitler comparison. 0.68

00:16:52.000 We all remember Hitler going, look, I'm sorry I tried to control the media. 0.65

00:16:55.000 We're going to reinstate it.

00:16:57.000 And I think more voices.

00:16:59.000 We only fight bad ideas with better ideas.

00:17:03.000 More critical press.

00:17:04.000 Come on, can you imagine?

00:17:06.000 440 people had their press passes removed under or revoked under the previous administration, and they're reinstating them, plus opening up the floodgates and saying, hey, by the way, we're going to have a permanent chair for people who are not, you know, you guys.

00:17:23.000 And by the way, you want to know how you win?

00:17:25.000 They didn't ban Jim Acosta. 0.96

00:17:27.000 They bitch-slapped Jim Acosta. 0.92

00:17:28.000 And now he lost his spot. 0.95

00:17:30.000 You bring in more voices and may the best person win.

00:17:33.000 They don't ban the people they don't like.

00:17:35.000 They have the conversation with them.

00:17:36.000 And everyone saw Jim Acosta for being the hack, the shill that he was.

00:17:40.000 They're bringing in...

00:17:41.000 You may not like it.

00:17:43.000 You may say that, hey, there are some people who are unqualified or illegitimate.

00:17:46.000 Okay, fine.

00:17:47.000 But if the spirit is, hey, let's bring in more press, that is transparency.

00:17:51.000 It's not control of the media.

00:17:54.000 Change my mind.

00:17:55.000 You won't.

00:17:55.000 Yes.

00:17:56.000 That much of a liberal douchebag that CNN kicked you out? 0.99

00:17:59.000 That's like getting kicked out of Guns N' Roses for drugs. 1.00

00:18:03.000 It's insane! 0.99

00:18:06.000 What a D-bag. 0.99

00:18:08.000 Oh, and he has to mouth on the way out.

00:18:10.000 He gives a whole speech about anti-Trump.

00:18:13.000 Like Tommy Lee coming, what do you mean my wiener's too big?

00:18:16.000 Come on! 0.61

00:18:18.000 All right.

00:18:19.000 Here's a highlight, number three.

00:18:21.000 So, Levitt, finally, it shouldn't be that big a deal, but it became a big deal, again, because of lack of transparency.

00:18:29.000 She finally dished on the details as it relates to the drones that you saw over New Jersey.

00:18:34.000 I do have news directly from the President of the United States.

00:18:37.000 That was just shared with me in the Oval Office.

00:18:41.000 From President Trump directly, an update on the New Jersey drones.

00:18:45.000 After research and study...

00:18:47.000 The drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.

00:18:57.000 Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational, and private individuals that enjoy flying drones.

00:19:04.000 In time, it got worse due to curiosity.

00:19:08.000 This was not the enemy.

00:19:10.000 Quick fact check, yes, drone hobbyists generally do enjoy flying drones, except for the one exception, Timmy, who doesn't want to fly drones, Dad, so that should have been mentioned.

00:19:23.000 I don't like that Dad's right behind him.

00:19:27.000 I rate this half a Pinocchio.

00:19:30.000 This isn't the Scouts.

00:19:31.000 Hey, if that's all it was, why?

00:19:33.000 Why not just tell people?

00:19:35.000 That's incompetence.

00:19:36.000 Do you know how many people...

00:19:37.000 I hate when the government gives people opportunity to come up with a conspiracy theory.

00:19:46.000 Don't let them have a runway for it.

00:19:48.000 People are like, ah, it's aliens!

00:19:50.000 Ah, it's a mothership from Iran and they've got drone swarms everywhere and we're about to be invaded. 1.00

00:19:54.000 No.

00:19:55.000 Just tell us what it is so that we can understand.

00:19:57.000 We're going to run to the conspiracy if you say, ah, what drones?

00:20:01.000 Yeah.

00:20:02.000 Who's the military guy?

00:20:03.000 Famous quote.

00:20:04.000 He said, we're doing our job if the whole country's confused.

00:20:07.000 Oh, I don't remember who it was.

00:20:09.000 I think it was a military guy.

00:20:10.000 But I don't think it's incompetence.

00:20:14.000 No, no.

00:20:15.000 Actually, somebody in this country.

00:20:16.000 Was that Lyndon Johnson?

00:20:17.000 It might have been Lyndon Johnson or it might have been Diane Carroll. 0.82

00:20:21.000 She had a show on the 60s.

00:20:22.000 No, I don't know.

00:20:24.000 I'll just be the tiebreaker and say Panetta.

00:20:26.000 But I'm just saying, I don't think it's incompetence.

00:20:28.000 It's all intentional.

00:20:29.000 Yeah.

00:20:29.000 They tease you and they confuse you.

00:20:31.000 Well, this is what they do.

00:20:32.000 They do.

00:20:32.000 They accuse you of a conspiracy theory until, and if I were RFK Jr. today, again, every single question, bring it up, I would answer with, we're dying number three.

00:20:40.000 That's every single one.

00:20:42.000 You said it was a conspiracy.

00:20:44.000 Number three.

00:20:45.000 People were going third nuts and you told me they were never mine.

00:20:51.000 If I was him, I would troll the senators that asked me really hard questions and be like, I responded in writing already.

00:20:56.000 This really hurts my voice.

00:20:58.000 Listen to this. 0.99

00:20:59.000 I'd just throw a Pop-Tart in their face. 1.00

00:21:01.000 Eat it! 1.00

00:21:03.000 Eat it!

00:21:04.000 Eat your red dye! 0.97

00:21:05.000 Your blood filling!

00:21:07.000 I've been drinking Powerade, the red ones, for about two years now. 0.90

00:21:11.000 To the point where I piss red.

00:21:13.000 So I've got about five minutes left.

00:21:14.000 That's about all of us.

00:21:15.000 According to the Kennedy.

00:21:17.000 You realize this?

00:21:17.000 It was in everything.

00:21:18.000 Yeah.

00:21:19.000 I went home.

00:21:19.000 And I still like it.

00:21:20.000 I'm still alive.

00:21:21.000 Look at me.

00:21:21.000 Yeah, I know.

00:21:22.000 Look, I'm 31 years old.

00:21:23.000 Look at me.

00:21:24.000 Look, you do.

00:21:25.000 I would think that you are a dead ringer for a boyfriend of Caroline Levitt.

00:21:29.000 She's 27. Yeah, what's your point?

00:21:32.000 What's your point?

00:21:32.000 He's got the Sicilian blood.

00:21:34.000 Olive skin.

00:21:35.000 You said Sicilian this time, not Sicilian.

00:21:37.000 I know.

00:21:38.000 I forgot to say it the right wrong way.

00:21:41.000 Sicilian! 0.76

00:21:42.000 Sorry, I'll correct myself.

00:21:43.000 Yes, Gerald.

00:21:44.000 Sicilian. 0.92

00:21:44.000 No, I'm good. 0.92

00:21:45.000 I was impressed.

00:21:46.000 27 years old.

00:21:47.000 She's doing really well.

00:21:47.000 Gerald, I get hit on by a 22-year-old flight attendant, a guy named Kevin.

00:21:52.000 Nice black fellow with a lisp. 1.00

00:21:56.000 He's Sicilian. 0.98

00:21:56.000 He gets hit on by every flight attendant in spirit. 0.98

00:21:58.000 That's true.

00:22:00.000 Wait, we sprung for spirit?

00:22:02.000 He one of us!

00:22:03.000 Look at his 23 and me.

00:22:04.000 He one of us.

00:22:05.000 Now!

00:22:06.000 Key moment number two was a lot of fun.

00:22:09.000 Levitt identified at least one specific federal program that was going to be cut.

00:22:16.000 Doge and OMB also found that there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza.

00:22:24.000 That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money.

00:22:27.000 So that's what this pause is focused on, being good stewards of tax dollars.

00:22:31.000 Yes, they wasted a lot of money.

00:22:33.000 And don't get me started.

00:22:34.000 We've covered this on the funding.

00:22:36.000 For shrimp on a treadmill.

00:22:38.000 Or the funding for condoms for shrimp on a treadmill. 0.92

00:22:41.000 It's a waste.

00:22:44.000 Oh my god, it's Howie Mandel.

00:22:50.000 I'm not wearing a hat.

00:22:55.000 Perfect.

00:22:57.000 Oh my god.

00:22:59.000 Condoms for Gaza? 0.98

00:23:01.000 You can't get a 12-year-old boy pregnant. 1.00

00:23:06.000 That doesn't go on in their culture.

00:23:08.000 Look it up.

00:23:08.000 Pretty much if you wanted to guarantee one place where they wouldn't use condoms.

00:23:12.000 It's almost like the rape is a power move and no protection is part of the thrill.

00:23:18.000 What are they?

00:23:19.000 Gold-plated condoms?

00:23:20.000 Somebody did the math on this and it was incredible.

00:23:23.000 I don't know research if you guys can pull it up or if we just need to move on.

00:23:26.000 You're talking about the number of condoms?

00:23:28.000 It was like 50,000 per male that's still left in Gaza.

00:23:32.000 How much sex are they having?

00:23:35.000 Yeah, I mean, plus they also made the mistake of selling magnums and that's not going to be used by one. 0.66

00:23:40.000 No, that's true.

00:23:42.000 They stick gunpowder in those things. 0.97

00:23:44.000 They stuff them with gunpowder.

00:23:45.000 Those are their grenades.

00:23:46.000 They're very behind the times.

00:23:48.000 That'd be like sending North Korea a bunch of size 12 shoes. 0.77

00:23:56.000 All right, and I would say this is, we have a bonus, but key moment number one.

00:24:01.000 Again, there's a new sheriff in town.

00:24:03.000 We're seeing the change, and of course Kaylee was great, and I knew her a while back when she used to work at Fox News.

00:24:09.000 She was fantastic. 0.66

00:24:10.000 Caroline's a friend of the show, full disclosure.

00:24:12.000 But she did lay down the law, and this was the first kind of adversarial exchange she had.

00:24:18.000 I think she handled it well.

00:24:19.000 You let us know what you think on illegal immigration.

00:24:21.000 Of the 3,500 arrests ICE has made so far since President Trump came back into office, can you just tell us the numbers?

00:24:27.000 How many have a criminal record versus those who are just in the country illegally?

00:24:32.000 All of them, because they illegally broke our nation's laws, and therefore they are criminals, as far as this administration goes.

00:24:37.000 I know the last administration didn't see it that way, so it's a big culture shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal, but that's exactly what they are. 0.72

00:24:47.000 If they broke our nation's laws, yes, they are criminals.

00:24:51.000 Jeffrey, thank you.

00:24:52.000 Wait, hold on.

00:24:55.000 She just said that I want to make sure that I... So breaking the law is a crime, right?

00:25:08.000 That's like the definition of it?

00:25:09.000 Yeah.

00:25:10.000 Still a crime.

00:25:12.000 Do you believe me? 1.00

00:25:14.000 Shut up! 1.00

00:25:16.000 I don't care. 1.00

00:25:18.000 Shut up. 1.00

00:25:19.000 We're not doing this anymore. 1.00

00:25:21.000 We're done with that.

00:25:21.000 You're done.

00:25:22.000 Okay?

00:25:22.000 That was beautiful.

00:25:23.000 She hit that out of the park. 0.97

00:25:24.000 Oh, yeah.

00:25:25.000 Yeah.

00:25:26.000 She drove that fastball down the middle. 1.00

00:25:28.000 Somebody get Carolyn a condom after what she did to them. 1.00

00:25:30.000 Make sure they're semi-protected. 0.98

00:25:32.000 What the hell? 0.64

00:25:33.000 What kind of show is this? 0.99

00:25:34.000 I'm storming out of here.

00:25:36.000 Oh, here's a bonus.

00:25:37.000 Here's a bonus, actually, by the way.

00:25:39.000 She did commit to, I don't think that I've seen this clip, but correcting what has been a legacy in our media here of fake news.

00:25:47.000 I commit to telling the truth from this podium every single day.

00:25:50.000 I commit to speaking on behalf of the President of the United States.

00:25:54.000 That is my job.

00:25:55.000 And I will say it's very easy to speak truth from this podium when you have a President who is implementing policies that are wildly popular with the American people, and that's exactly what this administration is doing.

00:26:06.000 It's correcting the lies and the wrongs of the past four years, many of the lies that have been told to your faces in this very briefing room.

00:26:14.000 I will not do that.

00:26:19.000 Yes, ma'am.

00:26:25.000 I feel like I did when I saw Tom Sillick walk out of the limo.

00:26:29.000 I saw him, I said, I get it.

00:26:31.000 If I wasn't able to, I wouldn't ask her to talk dirty, I'd ask her to talk the truth to me.

00:26:35.000 Yes, exactly.

00:26:37.000 Tell me about the disproportionate press coverage.

00:26:42.000 Shh! 0.97

00:26:42.000 Give me a wet nap. 0.97

00:26:43.000 Tell me your thoughts on Karen Jampier.

00:26:48.000 Timmer.

00:26:51.000 Now, Leavitt did obviously a really good job, but I will say she does have big shoes to fill of who I view as the ultimate press secretary, parallel universe Nick DiPaolo.

00:27:03.000 Did President Trump commit a crime?

00:27:11.000 Did he commit a crime?

00:27:13.000 Are we talking when he was 11 and he stole a Mars bar?

00:27:17.000 The king of real estate in New York?

00:27:19.000 Has he committed a crime?

00:27:21.000 I'm sure he has.

00:27:23.000 That's why I worked for him.

00:27:24.000 I don't trust people who haven't done something shitty in their lives.

00:27:27.000 Do you?

00:27:28.000 I don't trust guys who don't curse, who don't like women, who don't shoplift once in a while.

00:27:36.000 Haven't you been there at the supermarket?

00:27:38.000 Ten items or less, and the guy in front of you has got 78 items.

00:27:41.000 Just out of anger, you grab those milk duds.

00:27:45.000 But he's never done anything serious.

00:27:48.000 And you know that.

00:27:48.000 You guys have been trying to sue him for everything.

00:27:50.000 And you're making him looking like Superman.

00:27:52.000 We thank you for that.

00:27:53.000 Who are you going to get to sue him next?

00:27:55.000 Jacoby and Myers?

00:27:56.000 This is a joke.

00:27:57.000 Probably about 5,000 people right now are going to go look up Jacobian Myers.

00:28:06.000 They are, yeah.

00:28:08.000 No, no, no.

00:28:08.000 Stephen, trust me.

00:28:09.000 They're all over the country.

00:28:10.000 So I guess you can vote below.

00:28:12.000 I mean, I think you both have your good qualities.

00:28:15.000 You both bring your pluses and definitely your minuses.

00:28:18.000 So that's been good.

00:28:20.000 You let us know who you think did it better.

00:28:21.000 better.

00:28:21.000 That's been Sweet Caroline.

00:28:23.000 And we are about to go to RFK Jr.

00:28:36.000 We have a clip that just came in because it's taking place live.

00:28:39.000 I will tell you this.

00:28:39.000 The reason that I do like Carolyn Levitt is, and I used to get them because there's Carolyn Sunshine as well.

00:28:45.000 That's right.

00:28:46.000 Another good-looking young blonde who's articulate.

00:28:48.000 It's hard to keep track.

00:28:49.000 It's a real name?

00:28:49.000 Yeah.

00:28:50.000 It's hard to keep track.

00:28:52.000 She's great because when all is said and done, and you guys, it comes down to being professional.

00:28:58.000 And you know what?

00:28:59.000 You do need to sometimes trust the professionals.

00:29:01.000 You learned that, Tim.

00:29:02.000 Yeah, unfortunately.

00:29:16.000 Hey, two-man.

00:29:17.000 You okay?

00:29:18.000 Oh, yeah.

00:29:19.000 Yeah, just trying to get these stitches out, but I can't really see what I'm doing.

00:29:23.000 You're doing it yourself?

00:29:24.000 Yeah, I always do it myself.

00:29:27.000 Yeah, that's not going to work.

00:29:28.000 Here, let me help.

00:29:32.000 Are those sterile?

00:29:35.000 Probably.

00:29:35.000 Don't worry about it.

00:29:36.000 Just turn around.

00:29:37.000 Yeah.

00:29:38.000 No, trust me.

00:29:39.000 Trust me.

00:29:40.000 Trust me.

00:29:42.000 Ah! Josh!

00:29:47.000 What the f***? 0.99

00:30:12.000 It's always a great commercial when you have to dump it on YouTube.

00:30:16.000 That's true.

00:30:18.000 Do we have to talk to him?

00:30:20.000 I don't know.

00:30:21.000 I have no idea.

00:30:22.000 Who cares about YouTube anymore?

00:30:32.000 They're huge help.

00:30:34.000 NMLS 182334. Well, we already said it.

00:30:38.000 All right.

00:30:38.000 182334. Okay, I get it.

00:30:40.000 I don't know what it is.

00:30:40.000 I know we have to say it.

00:30:41.000 So I'm legally covered just like all of you guys with the Interoffice Fitness Challenge.

00:30:44.000 You signed the waiver.

00:30:45.000 So whatever happens, happens.

00:30:47.000 Also, you might want to be careful with that weight tree.

00:30:50.000 I made sure it was a little janky.

00:30:53.000 Let's grab...

00:30:54.000 Alright, so RFK, this is Ron Wyden, the gentleman from Oregon, apparently sparring with RFK, and we got a protester that kind of jumps in.

00:31:02.000 Oh, really?

00:31:03.000 Okay, this is happening right now, live without a net.

00:31:06.000 Be clear about what you've actually done then, since you want to deny your statements.

00:31:12.000 Tell us, Tilda Swinton.

00:31:14.000 You have a history of trying to take vaccines away from people.

00:31:18.000 In May of 2021, you petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to not only block Americans from having access to the COVID vaccine, but to prevent any future access to the life-saving vaccines.

00:31:34.000 Are you denying that?

00:31:35.000 Your name is on the petition! 1.00

00:31:37.000 Shut up, Sally. 1.00

00:31:38.000 We brought that petition after. 0.99

00:31:42.000 CDC recommended a COVID vaccine without any scientific basis for six-year-old children.

00:31:51.000 Most experts agree today, even the people who did it back then, that COVID vaccines are inappropriate for six-year-old children who basically have a zero risk.

00:32:02.000 I'm COVID. That's why I brought that on.

00:32:04.000 Said that on the show.

00:32:06.000 I don't want to emphasize.

00:32:08.000 For two weeks.

00:32:09.000 I don't.

00:32:09.000 The facts Get Jenny McCallisney out of here What is that, Joy Reid?

00:32:22.000 Oh, look, she's wearing a mask. 1.00

00:32:24.000 She's got a mask on.

00:32:24.000 Oh, it's a nurse.

00:32:25.000 They're escorting the true hero.

00:32:27.000 She wants to yell out stuff, but she's got a mask on.

00:32:29.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.99

00:32:34.000 Bullshit, it's freedom of speech. 1.00

00:32:40.000 Ooh. 1.00

00:32:41.000 Wow.

00:32:41.000 Okay, Dad.

00:32:42.000 Wow.

00:32:43.000 Boy, talk about a non-threat.

00:32:45.000 If you do more of that, we're going to go away.

00:32:49.000 We're going to go to lunch.

00:32:50.000 We're going to fire off a strong email.

00:32:53.000 I love, by the way, that she chose to time her protest with, children didn't need this, and I was just saying so.

00:32:59.000 What do you?

00:33:01.000 That's children.

00:33:02.000 I've jabbed my son 18 times!

00:33:09.000 He should have started dubbing her.

00:33:11.000 Don't worry, I can speak mask.

00:33:16.000 Yeah, hold on. 0.98

00:33:17.000 She's saying she's a non-bitch. 1.00

00:33:22.000 Her words, not mine. 0.86

00:33:23.000 Red dye number three.

00:33:25.000 You can even do voices of guys with throat cancer.

00:33:28.000 That's all it is. 1.00

00:33:31.000 Red dye, you son of a bitch. 1.00

00:33:36.000 Somebody to speak for him, he brought Nick Nolte. 1.00

00:33:39.000 He brought Nick Nolte as an interpreter.

00:33:42.000 I remember thinking, I can tell him, Tommy. 0.96

00:33:45.000 He said, you rotten red guy. 0.94

00:33:48.000 That is Nolte. 1.00

00:33:49.000 You godless sons of bitches. 1.00

00:33:52.000 Yeah, you tell him. 1.00

00:33:54.000 I'm telling him.

00:33:55.000 This isn't helping me.

00:33:56.000 Now listen, Mr. Katie.

00:33:58.000 Yeah.

00:34:00.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:34:01.000 I'm tired.

00:34:02.000 I brought my assistant.

00:34:03.000 Gilbert.

00:34:04.000 He says red dye number three!

00:34:07.000 What are you putting in these Pop-Tarts?

00:34:10.000 It's Val Kilmer next.

00:34:12.000 Red dye.

00:34:15.000 I ate too much red dye.

00:34:19.000 I'm sorry. 1.00

00:34:20.000 Damn you, Catherine. 1.00

00:34:21.000 We're very, very silly. 1.00

00:34:23.000 Different person. 0.80

00:34:24.000 But for crying out, hey, Mission Control, can you bring up...

00:34:27.000 Now that we can't...

00:34:28.000 Because, keep in mind, you talk about, hey, where are the winds?

00:34:30.000 Does the pendulum swing?

00:34:32.000 No, we were actually suspended on YouTube.

00:34:35.000 You got us suspended for quoting the CDC. Out of California.

00:34:39.000 Their stats on the four of the last ten years were more deadly for the flu season than COVID. Combined.

00:34:44.000 Yeah.

00:34:45.000 It was all COVID deaths combined at that point weren't as bad as a singular flu season.

00:34:50.000 We quoted...

00:34:51.000 I believe it was the CDC, or was it...

00:34:53.000 I quoted the CDC's California stat.

00:34:56.000 California stat, and we were suspended from YouTube for two weeks.

00:35:00.000 That's what these people do.

00:35:02.000 And then they malign you and say, we're not talking about being anti-vaccine.

00:35:06.000 We're talking about being pro-science.

00:35:10.000 Because the science on this is irrefutable.

00:35:12.000 I know what you'll say, you're not a scientist.

00:35:13.000 Okay, guess what?

00:35:14.000 Neither are you.

00:35:16.000 We're very, very clear on the fact that six-year-olds were never at risk for COVID. They knew it then.

00:35:22.000 They know it now.

00:35:23.000 And they banned us then for saying it.

00:35:25.000 And they now want to browbeak as though you weren't wrong.

00:35:28.000 Lab?

00:35:29.000 Not a Wuhan market?

00:35:31.000 Yep.

00:35:32.000 COVID? Not as deadly as the flu for kids?

00:35:35.000 Yep.

00:35:36.000 Side effects that are unprecedented?

00:35:38.000 Yes.

00:35:39.000 Record profits made with no liability?

00:35:41.000 Absolutely.

00:35:43.000 Just don't apologize.

00:35:44.000 That's it.

00:35:45.000 We're done with it.

00:35:46.000 I'm sure Mission Control can bring that up.

00:35:47.000 You got a suspended.

00:35:48.000 I did.

00:35:48.000 And then I docked your pay.

00:35:49.000 I love it.

00:35:50.000 You did?

00:35:52.000 We'll continue with RFK. I'm sure there'll be more moments.

00:35:55.000 I'm sure there'll be more.

00:35:56.000 He's going to be a lot nicer, I bet, than Pete Hegseth.

00:36:00.000 Because he is more of a...

00:36:01.000 I mean, he's not a Republican.

00:36:03.000 I don't want to say he's a moderate, he's just not a Republican or a Democrat.

00:36:06.000 But I think there are a few people on this panel that are going to go after him in a way that he doesn't appreciate and probably already doesn't like them.

00:36:12.000 And I think that's going to come out a little bit.

00:36:13.000 I think, look, RFK is controversial, but I think he knows that he's probably going to get confirmed and he's going to make a little bit of a stand.

00:36:21.000 I hope.

00:36:21.000 I hope he does that because that's kind of what we want him in that position for.

00:36:25.000 Yeah.

00:36:25.000 He's the best guy for the moment.

00:36:27.000 You know what Donald Trump is?

00:36:28.000 I was just talking with Toolman about this the other day.

00:36:31.000 I truly believe, That he's in this term right now, and he knows he has to go for broke because trying to appease everyone is futile, right?

00:36:39.000 That first, that honeymoon period, you have a higher approval rating.

00:36:42.000 And last time he came in and he tried to sort of pacify some people, he's like, look, people are going to hate me no matter what, so I'm just going to deliver on my promises.

00:36:50.000 I'm going to do what I said I would do.

00:36:51.000 And it's actually worked out for him.

00:36:53.000 If you're Donald Trump at this point, you go, what are you going to do?

00:36:56.000 Put me in jail? 0.98

00:36:58.000 You're going to call me a rapist or a racist? 0.80

00:37:00.000 What are you going to do? 1.00

00:37:01.000 Shoot me! 1.00

00:37:02.000 There's nothing... 1.00

00:37:03.000 He's bulletproof.

00:37:05.000 I'd leave off the last one.

00:37:07.000 He's bullet resistant.

00:37:08.000 He's been shot at.

00:37:10.000 Everything has happened to him at this point.

00:37:12.000 Okay, fine.

00:37:12.000 What are you going to bring to him?

00:37:14.000 You screwed up, left. 0.96

00:37:16.000 You screwed up, and now you've created the Frankenstein monster that you feared. 0.98

00:37:21.000 Good work.

00:37:22.000 So, let's go to the federal government here.

00:37:25.000 The left is lying to you.

00:37:27.000 I want to be very, very clear.

00:37:28.000 They're not maybe uninformed.

00:37:30.000 The left is proactively lying to you, the media, to try and scare you while they condemn Donald Trump for creating a culture of fear.

00:37:39.000 We're talking about the spending, the freeze, the pause that's been going on.

00:37:42.000 Let me be really clear here.

00:37:44.000 Before we get to anything else, you do remember, right, that every year the government loses at minimum $233 billion to $521 billion on fraud alone, meaning we don't know what happens with it.

00:37:59.000 It's somewhere.

00:38:00.000 Half a trillion dollars a year is, it just vaporizes. 0.91

00:38:05.000 So the idea that there doesn't need to be a pause or an audit of the same government that can audit all of you is silly. 0.51

00:38:14.000 And anyone who opposes it in principle is a Marxist.

00:38:18.000 Yep, I'll speak in absolutes.

00:38:20.000 So we know that.

00:38:22.000 But they also waste.

00:38:25.000 $500,000 to run a social media hashtag campaign in Ethiopia is one that was found.

00:38:30.000 Not to be confused, by the way, with the development of the wildly successful Ethiopian app Find My Well Water.

00:38:35.000 That one worked out.

00:38:36.000 And they're eating the mouses over there.

00:38:38.000 Yes!

00:38:39.000 Yes, well, I'd like a good mouse.

00:38:41.000 They're eating the mice.

00:38:42.000 $3 million was spent on girl-centered climate action in Brazil.

00:38:47.000 Look, if you want to spend billions just to study the girls in Brazil, I'm on board. 0.97

00:38:53.000 Not their climate action, though.

00:38:55.000 That's, of all the reasons I'm interested in Brazilian ladies, their climate activism is not amongst them. 1.00

00:39:01.000 They're supposed to be hot and humid down there.

00:39:03.000 Exactly.

00:39:04.000 Exactly.

00:39:04.000 If you guys want to send them some humidifiers, great.

00:39:12.000 Turn it into a steam room. 0.95

00:39:13.000 Girls send it climate action. 1.00

00:39:15.000 Because they're hot?

00:39:16.000 I don't even get what that means.

00:39:19.000 It's like spring year round.

00:39:21.000 Is it like this?

00:39:21.000 Is it global warming?

00:39:23.000 I'd spend three billion to study Carnival, and by that I mean send me every single year all expenses paid.

00:39:28.000 Yes, and waxing.

00:39:30.000 I'd like to see some close-ups.

00:39:31.000 Yep, yep.

00:39:33.000 I'm sorry, Miss Father. 0.65

00:39:34.000 I didn't know you were gay.

00:39:35.000 I didn't know you wanted to see men.

00:39:37.000 Who said men, Father? 0.91

00:39:39.000 Again, I think you're really like...

00:39:41.000 We're talking about girl-centered climate action, which, by the way, is the issue of our time.

00:39:45.000 So it made sense on Monday when the Trump administration announced, again, if you understand the waste, half a trillion dollars a year.

00:39:55.000 They announced a freeze and were very clear as to what the freeze addressed and the left lied about it on federal funding.

00:40:01.000 Panic mode.

00:40:03.000 President Trump plunges state and local agencies into chaos after announcing a freeze on billions, potentially trillions, in government funding while leaving key details out.

00:40:14.000 How an order less than a thousand words long could upend the services that Americans rely on every day.

00:40:21.000 Oh, God.

00:40:21.000 Great.

00:40:22.000 And by the way, the spokesperson for said freeze was not pulling any punches.

00:40:26.000 I'm afraid that my condition has left me cold.

00:40:30.000 To your pleas of mercy.

00:40:32.000 Maybe not the best offense, but you need someone who's a get-it-done kind of guy.

00:40:36.000 Was that from The Godfather?

00:40:37.000 Part two.

00:40:39.000 That was three.

00:40:40.000 It's from the worst movie ever made.

00:40:42.000 It's from the film.

00:40:43.000 It was the first time as a child where I realized, oh, I'd rather be doing something.

00:40:47.000 You can have movies that make me wish I was doing something else.

00:40:50.000 I didn't know that was possible until now.

00:40:52.000 I love that.

00:40:52.000 They spent 40 hours making them up and stuff.

00:40:55.000 As soon as he opens his mouth, it's Schwarzenegger.

00:40:56.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:40:58.000 He thought, I'm going to get an Oscar for this.

00:41:01.000 Or metal poisoning.

00:41:02.000 That's right.

00:41:03.000 Method acting. 0.97

00:41:08.000 Someone get me an ugly maid. 1.00

00:41:10.000 I'm horny. 1.00

00:41:11.000 Now, poor wife. 1.00

00:41:14.000 She had to walk around seeing a boy of the maid who looked exactly like him. 0.51

00:41:19.000 You know anything about that?

00:41:20.000 Never seen him before in my life.

00:41:22.000 Weird.

00:41:23.000 And the kid's like, I don't know him.

00:41:25.000 I've never met him.

00:41:28.000 So, freezing federal funding.

00:41:30.000 Great!

00:41:31.000 Good!

00:41:31.000 Perfect!

00:41:32.000 Of course, that means those on the left.

00:41:34.000 Because in principle, you should never freeze.

00:41:36.000 You should never pause.

00:41:37.000 You should never decrease funding.

00:41:38.000 So they freaked out and melted down.

00:41:40.000 This decision is lawless.

00:41:42.000 Oh, God.

00:41:43.000 It's destructive.

00:41:45.000 It's dangerous.

00:41:46.000 It's cruel.

00:41:48.000 And I'm wearing a shirt I stole from the art class rack.

00:41:51.000 Say hello to Fred Wynn to my left.

00:41:56.000 But nothing's worse than this.

00:41:58.000 Nothing?

00:41:59.000 Chlamydia?

00:42:00.000 I'll fact check all of it.

00:42:19.000 I am leading and joining with my colleagues, my fellow Democratic attorney generals, in suing this administration to stop this illegal freeze of essential funds for our state.

00:42:31.000 This is a recipe for chaos.

00:42:34.000 Abe Vigoda.

00:42:35.000 She looks like if she takes off her glasses, her nose would come off with them.

00:42:39.000 Have demanded that this decision be reversed.

00:42:43.000 The president must immediately reverse course. 0.95

00:42:46.000 Look at this psychotic.

00:42:48.000 People's lives and livelihoods are at stake. 1.00

00:42:51.000 What a piece of ass. 1.00

00:42:54.000 To be fair, again, the free spokesperson did try and calm their fears. 1.00

00:42:59.000 All right, everyone!

00:43:01.000 Chill!

00:43:01.000 Well, that just makes it...

00:43:03.000 They need to learn to de-escalate.

00:43:08.000 Steven, what movie was that?

00:43:09.000 I just have to...

00:43:10.000 It was Batman and Robin.

00:43:11.000 Awful.

00:43:12.000 Just terrible.

00:43:12.000 Oh, that was Mr. Freeze.

00:43:13.000 Yeah, it was Mr. Freeze.

00:43:14.000 It was the Arnold Mr. Freeze.

00:43:16.000 Still waiting on the Oscar.

00:43:17.000 Still waiting.

00:43:19.000 Five minutes, just to be clear.

00:43:20.000 And we're going to fact-check all of this.

00:43:21.000 What they just said is incorrect.

00:43:23.000 And I'll give you all those references.

00:43:24.000 But five minutes right after, or sorry, I guess right before this order was taking effect, there was a Biden-appointed U.S. district judge, ordered a pause on it.

00:43:33.000 So right away, you have the law fair.

00:43:35.000 Now it would be, okay, is this unconstitutional?

00:43:37.000 If what they said is correct, okay, the judge would be within their bounds to do that.

00:43:40.000 Or is it politicizing our justice system? 0.53

00:43:43.000 Again, let's go to another installment of Claim Truth.

00:43:50.000 Okay.

00:43:51.000 I want to get into what this freeze actually is, what it is not, how it is being mislabeled, misrepresented to the American public, how you're being gaslit, and if it's constitutional and if there's any kind of precedence here.

00:44:04.000 So let's go to the first claim that they're making, that President Trump is blocking funds that Americans really need.

00:44:11.000 If your goal is to make America great again, why would you start by cutting these basic services for families and deserving people across this country?

00:44:20.000 For goodness sakes, we're better than that.

00:44:23.000 I'm proud of a nation that cares for people who need a helping hand.

00:44:26.000 I'm not ashamed to say that.

00:44:28.000 And some of these people, particularly veterans, earned it.

00:44:31.000 Earned it over and over again.

00:44:33.000 And he wears a speed bump for a tie.

00:44:35.000 Here's the truth.

00:44:39.000 Veterans?

00:44:40.000 This is what they always do.

00:44:42.000 They go, children, Medicaid, veterans, right? 0.83

00:44:46.000 Right.

00:44:46.000 To try and scare you.

00:44:47.000 This memo, this freeze was aimed only at cutting funds to agencies that violate Donald Trump's legitimate executive orders.

00:44:56.000 This memorandum requires federal agencies to identify and review all federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the president's policies and requirements.

00:45:06.000 You know, the stuff people voted for.

00:45:09.000 So executive orders along the lines of the border.

00:45:12.000 Foreign aid.

00:45:14.000 Wasteful DEI programs.

00:45:16.000 Hey, maybe we'll find the half a trillion dollars in annual fraudulent waste there.

00:45:20.000 I don't know.

00:45:21.000 Seems like a good place to start.

00:45:22.000 They're not talking about individuals.

00:45:24.000 They're talking about, let me give you some examples.

00:45:26.000 NGOs, for example, working to completely circumvent Donald Trump's border orders.

00:45:31.000 You've seen those.

00:45:32.000 You said it's catalyzing gender equity in their whole climate finance. 1.00

00:45:36.000 This is actually what they call it.

00:45:38.000 Catalyzing gender equity in climate finance.

00:45:42.000 Afuera! 0.99

00:45:45.000 Science agencies.

00:45:46.000 Again, these are organizations that fund, quote, diversity efforts in STEM. And I believe it was Stephen Miller yesterday with Jake Tapper, who actually said, you know, these are agencies who have a political bias.

00:45:58.000 He said, for example, you said, we know that 98% of the people there voted for Kamala Harris.

00:46:05.000 And he said, well, don't demonize an entire group.

00:46:08.000 He said, wait, you're saying it's demonizing them?

00:46:10.000 To tell you they voted for Kamala Harris?

00:46:12.000 He goes, you're suggesting there's a bias.

00:46:13.000 Yes!

00:46:14.000 Yes!

00:46:14.000 They supported Kamala Harris or left policies or Democrats.

00:46:18.000 This was in the memo.

00:46:20.000 Yes.

00:46:20.000 We called this yesterday.

00:46:22.000 When we saw this, I said, like, come on, these guys are lying to you right now.

00:46:26.000 And they throw in veterans.

00:46:26.000 It doesn't have anything to do with that.

00:46:28.000 It has everything to do with executive orders.

00:46:30.000 They knew it from the beginning, and guess what?

00:46:32.000 Media ran with it again, predictably so.

00:46:36.000 This is why...

00:46:37.000 Nothing's changed.

00:46:37.000 We talked about this yesterday on Rumble Premium.

00:46:41.000 This is why you can't say, I take it on an issue-by-issue basis.

00:46:44.000 Sure, the evidence.

00:46:45.000 But you do need to have a worldview.

00:46:47.000 You do need to have a lens, a prism through which you see these issues, because then you'll understand.

00:46:51.000 To say there's no need for this, and by the way, there's never been a need for this, because the left has never supported any kind of measure similar to this, is to say, hey, we need to put more money into the currently existing system, and that's compassionate.

00:47:05.000 The solution is always, more money?

00:47:08.000 And that equals compassion.

00:47:09.000 Taking more money from you, it's your money, and putting it into a program that has not worked is what the left views as compassion.

00:47:16.000 And because of that worldview, they can never, they can never start off at the point of, hey, maybe, maybe less money here.

00:47:24.000 Maybe it would be more effective to innovate.

00:47:26.000 Maybe it would be more effective to redistribute this somewhere that might actually be effective.

00:47:32.000 No, because that also wouldn't be compassionate.

00:47:34.000 Public education, more money.

00:47:35.000 Trillions isn't enough.

00:47:37.000 More money because it's compassionate.

00:47:38.000 Hey, how about charter schools?

00:47:39.000 No, no, no.

00:47:39.000 More money to the current program.

00:47:41.000 Right now, more money to the federal government.

00:47:43.000 Someone says, hey, hold on a second.

00:47:43.000 There's 500 billion in annual waste in fraud.

00:47:47.000 It's not compassionate to even look at that and audit it.

00:47:50.000 More money to audit Americans.

00:47:53.000 It's two different worldviews.

00:47:55.000 One is, effectively, government is God.

00:47:58.000 Who are you to question God?

00:47:59.000 Let's go to the next claim that they make.

00:48:01.000 This freeze, they actually said this, is going to starve.

00:48:06.000 The children to death.

00:48:08.000 Would somebody please think of the children?

00:48:09.000 Now, if I could ask the control room to put that graphic back up on screen that was showing some of these programs that might be impacted potentially.

00:48:16.000 Acosta used to have a show on CNN. Head Start, school breakfast and lunch programs.

00:48:22.000 My goodness, Congressman, these are programs for needy kids, for hungry kids.

00:48:27.000 We're going to stop giving kids a breakfast?

00:48:30.000 We're going to stop giving kids a lunch when they need one?

00:48:33.000 That sounds outrageous.

00:48:35.000 You know, it is.

00:48:36.000 I can't imagine this is what the American people wanted when President Trump said he had a mandate.

00:48:42.000 Kids not eating isn't a part of any deal.

00:48:44.000 Kids being part of a political pawn game.

00:48:47.000 Well, first off, it's exactly what they voted for, especially because he's not starving any kids.

00:48:53.000 Also, have you seen kids today?

00:48:54.000 They can skip a few breakfasts.

00:48:56.000 Lay off me, I'm starving!

00:48:59.000 That felt very Colin Quinnish.

00:49:00.000 Have you seen kids today?

00:49:01.000 They could skip a few breakfasts.

00:49:05.000 It's true, though. 0.82

00:49:06.000 It's true.

00:49:07.000 I was at the hotel here last summer when I first started coming here. 0.99

00:49:11.000 Best pair of tits I saw at the pool was a 14-year-old boy. 0.99

00:49:14.000 I saw him. 1.00

00:49:15.000 I saw him.

00:49:16.000 And he was doing this.

00:49:16.000 He wasn't even ashamed.

00:49:17.000 No, he wasn't.

00:49:18.000 Yes, that's right.

00:49:20.000 And his parents told him he was doing good.

00:49:22.000 Absolutely.

00:49:22.000 The problem is the parents, I think, is the message here.

00:49:26.000 Red dye.

00:49:27.000 Number three.

00:49:30.000 Here's the truth.

00:49:32.000 That's just a lie.

00:49:34.000 Let me, again, direct you to what was explicitly outlined in the memo from the White House.

00:49:41.000 Any program that provides direct benefits to Americans is explicitly excluded from the pause and exempted from this review process.

00:49:50.000 In addition to Social Security and Medicare, already explicitly excluded in the guidance, mandatory programs like Medicaid and SNAP will continue without...

00:50:01.000 Pause.

00:50:02.000 And Carolyn Levitt made this abundantly clear to the media at the very first press conference.

00:50:07.000 Well, I think there's only uncertainty in this room amongst the media.

00:50:10.000 There's no uncertainty in this building.

00:50:12.000 So let me provide the certainty and the clarity that all of you need.

00:50:15.000 This is not a blanket pause on federal assistance and grant programs from the Trump administration.

00:50:22.000 Individual assistance, that includes, I'm not naming everything that's included, but just to give you a few examples, Social Security benefits, Medicare benefits, food stamps, welfare benefits, assistance that is going directly to individuals will not be impacted by this pause.

00:50:41.000 Ignorance is no longer defense.

00:50:43.000 Jim Acosta lied to you.

00:50:45.000 CNN is lying to you.

00:50:46.000 They can't say we didn't know.

00:50:48.000 They know they're lying.

00:50:50.000 Are you starting to get the picture?

00:50:51.000 Do you know what time press briefings happen?

00:50:53.000 Yeah.

00:50:54.000 Noon.

00:50:54.000 Mm-hmm.

00:50:55.000 Noon.

00:50:56.000 Yes.

00:50:56.000 At noon, you had guidance.

00:50:59.000 Yep.

00:50:59.000 At noon, every single reporter on the planet, because it is the first press conference of the Trump administration, knew it was a lie.

00:51:07.000 Yep.

00:51:08.000 And ran with it on every single show afterwards.

00:51:12.000 Yep.

00:51:12.000 It's not like they can say, oh, the memo, it was confusing.

00:51:15.000 At noon Eastern time, you knew.

00:51:19.000 It is.

00:51:20.000 It's discouraging, but it makes me excited they're going back to the same playbook.

00:51:25.000 Yes, they are.

00:51:25.000 They have nothing.

00:51:26.000 I've been hearing this since I first started following politics.

00:51:29.000 Yes. 0.98

00:51:29.000 The media was saying the same crap about Reagan. 0.98

00:51:32.000 They got nothing. 0.98

00:51:33.000 It really is the Marxist playbook.

00:51:35.000 Otherwise, they're arguing against common sense and reason.

00:51:38.000 That's exactly right.

00:51:39.000 It really is fun to watch.

00:51:40.000 Where they're going, and I've been saying it, we have to dismantle that.

00:51:44.000 Stop treating them like they're a legitimate party.

00:51:46.000 No.

00:51:46.000 You know what I mean?

00:51:47.000 I agree with you.

00:51:47.000 I've been trying to come up with a name other than Democrats.

00:51:50.000 Communists. 0.99

00:51:52.000 God damn it, you nailed it. 1.00

00:51:53.000 That's actually what they are. 0.99

00:51:55.000 Marxists.

00:51:56.000 You didn't follow the rules.

00:51:58.000 You called him Hitler, a threat to democracy.

00:52:00.000 You lied about the pause.

00:52:02.000 Therefore, you got nothing!

00:52:06.000 Here's another claim that they make.

00:52:09.000 Knowing that it's a lie, I want to be really clear, that this freeze is unconstitutional.

00:52:14.000 Some of you may have believed it.

00:52:15.000 Do you believe that the action that the Trump administration is taking here is illegal?

00:52:19.000 Pause.

00:52:19.000 It's a nightly show.

00:52:21.000 I can't do the man voice in a woman. 1.00

00:52:22.000 I can't just, hey, talk dirty to me.

00:52:26.000 It's just something about it, but go ahead.

00:52:28.000 Unconstitutional.

00:52:29.000 It is absolutely clear, based upon prior Supreme Court decisions, that the president cannot unilaterally suspend government programs in order to impose his own priorities and his own policy on top of what was passed by Congress.

00:52:46.000 To me, this is inherently corrupt.

00:52:49.000 What Trump is trying to do is seize control of government spending so that he can send money to his friends and loyalists and he can punish states, for instance, like Connecticut, that are represented by his political opponent.

00:53:02.000 Mm-hmm.

00:53:04.000 And red dye number three doesn't cause cancer. 0.51

00:53:07.000 Stop! 1.00

00:53:09.000 The fact that they have a D next to the representative next to their name, who cares?

00:53:14.000 These people aren't experts.

00:53:15.000 They lie to you constantly.

00:53:17.000 Here's the truth.

00:53:18.000 It is the president's job to enforce the law.

00:53:21.000 Now I know the Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse.

00:53:25.000 We understand that.

00:53:26.000 I watch Schoolhouse Rock 2. Article 2, Section 3 does state, the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully...

00:53:33.000 Executed.

00:53:34.000 And President Trump can take care that those laws are faithfully executed by impounding, pausing, freezing funds. 0.84

00:53:42.000 There you go.

00:53:43.000 Let me give you some history here.

00:53:44.000 The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

00:53:48.000 It outlines all of this.

00:53:49.000 The procedure, the logistics for the president to impound funds.

00:53:53.000 It permits the president to temporarily defer spending without congressional approval.

00:53:57.000 All he needs to do is notify Congress.

00:53:59.000 You may not like it, but that doesn't give you the right to lie and say it's unconstitutional or without any type of precedent, which brings us to another key truth.

00:54:11.000 Residents have done this many times before, impounding freezing funds.

00:54:16.000 Let's go back to 1803, Thomas Jefferson.

00:54:19.000 He impounded funds that were allocated for military equipment.

00:54:21.000 Congress wanted to purchase gunboats for potential conflict in the Port of New Orleans.

00:54:26.000 Jefferson paused that because his completion of the Louisiana Purchase ended these sort of potential hostilities.

00:54:33.000 Okay, so he paused it.

00:54:34.000 And by the way, it was better judgment.

00:54:36.000 1876, Ulysses S. Grant did the same thing.

00:54:39.000 He impounded certain funds as a...

00:54:41.000 I'm trying to remember which funds he...

00:54:42.000 Do we have the overlay?

00:54:43.000 I just know that it happened in 1876. Anyways, we have the reference there for you.

00:54:48.000 1940, the hero of the left, FDR. He did the same thing.

00:54:52.000 He impounded funds as part of the Great Depression recovery.

00:54:55.000 And this is one of those things I understand that they are routinely litigated.

00:54:59.000 He's going to have to battle this in court.

00:55:00.000 But for them to tell you that kids won't eat, not true.

00:55:05.000 That veterans aren't getting what they need, not true.

00:55:08.000 How do I know that they know it's not true?

00:55:10.000 Because they were notified in written form, and it was reiterated at the very first White House press briefing.

00:55:17.000 None of those things, that it's unconstitutional, not true.

00:55:19.000 That it's never been done before, not true.

00:55:21.000 But here's the thing, if you believe everything the left says, like on the Reddit politics board, you'll believe that he's Hitler.

00:55:29.000 And you might try and take a shot at him.

00:55:31.000 See how that works?

00:55:32.000 You believe he has no authority.

00:55:33.000 You believe he's a tyrant.

00:55:35.000 You believe he's trying to control the press.

00:55:36.000 You don't understand that he's pausing.

00:55:38.000 Federal funding.

00:55:39.000 You don't understand that he's opening up the press pool to more people.

00:55:44.000 You don't understand that he's acting well within the parameters, as many presidents have before.

00:55:48.000 So you would think that, my God, he might be, oh, that's why they keep saying it, Hitler.

00:55:54.000 And then blame you for fomenting hatred and creating a culture of fear and division.

00:56:00.000 So while the judge, by the way, did put a temporary kind of pause on this order, halt, I guess, Trump, Was still working in a way that I love, by the way, because this will show you who is for real.

00:56:14.000 He was working late into the night to cut out some waste and offered some federal employees, I mean the true heroes, a choice to make.

00:56:22.000 President Trump says the federal government will offer buyouts to federal workers as part of his effort to shrink the size of the governmental workforce.

00:56:30.000 The government sent out an email Tuesday offering buyouts to all two million federal employees who agree to leave their jobs by February 6. It's coming alongside the federal government mandating a return to office for all workers.

00:56:44.000 News outlets, including Axios and NBC News, report that a Trump administration official told them the White House expects between 5 and 10 percent of federal employees to take the offer, something that could shrink the federal workforce by hundreds of thousands of people.

00:57:01.000 Which could amount to, I believe, about $100 billion.

00:57:04.000 So he basically offered to give them severance to...

00:57:08.000 To buy them out.

00:57:09.000 Effectively, this offer.

00:57:10.000 I buy you out.

00:57:11.000 You don't buy me out.

00:57:12.000 Your casino loses money.

00:57:14.000 Maybe we can do better.

00:57:15.000 You think I'm skimming off the top, Mike?

00:57:19.000 You're unlucky.

00:57:22.000 Let's just call $500 billion in annual waste unlucky. 1.00

00:57:26.000 You goddamn guineas really make me laugh. 0.99

00:57:30.000 Just go in and go, look, guys, we've got to pause this. 1.00

00:57:33.000 How many shrimps on a treadmill do you need? 1.00

00:57:38.000 Zero.

00:57:38.000 That's the answer.

00:57:39.000 Put them on my plate.

00:57:40.000 I'm sending back the shrimp.

00:57:41.000 It's too fat.

00:57:42.000 Yeah.

00:57:43.000 He needs to skip a breakfast.

00:57:44.000 Put him on a diet.

00:57:45.000 And the email, by the way, that was sent government-wide included instructions on how to quit, and this is just so much fun.

00:57:51.000 This is great.

00:57:51.000 It says, if you wish to resign, select reply to this email.

00:57:55.000 You must reply from your government account.

00:57:57.000 Type the word resign into the body of this email and hit send.

00:58:03.000 There you go, man.

00:58:05.000 That sums it up, how easy it could be.

00:58:07.000 They're even being efficient in the resigning.

00:58:10.000 Absolutely.

00:58:11.000 Like, well, I'd like to talk about this.

00:58:12.000 Look!

00:58:13.000 Hit resign!

00:58:15.000 Or don't.

00:58:16.000 It's super duper easy.

00:58:19.000 I could even do that.

00:58:20.000 I love it.

00:58:21.000 That's eight months' salary.

00:58:24.000 That would be $100 billion if 5-10% quit.

00:58:29.000 There's 2 million federal workers.

00:58:32.000 I did 2 freaking million federal workers. 0.97

00:58:36.000 Get rid of them. 0.98

00:58:37.000 Smash that button. 0.83

00:58:39.000 I love it.

00:58:41.000 It's like a text message.

00:58:42.000 Reply.

00:58:43.000 Smash that button. 0.83

00:58:44.000 If you'd like to get 8 months severance and leave your job.

00:58:48.000 Oh, God.

00:58:48.000 I love it.

00:58:49.000 Do I like you?

00:58:49.000 I have to check yes or no.

00:58:51.000 No!

00:58:51.000 All two million people got that email, I believe.

00:58:55.000 I love it.

00:58:56.000 Hit like.

00:58:57.000 I hear that Cindy next to you has a crush on you. 0.99

00:59:01.000 Just kidding, you're fired.

00:59:04.000 If they hit reply, by the way, they get something back that says, Just kidding, you're fired!

00:59:07.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:59:08.000 To choose your own path and it all goes to no job.

00:59:12.000 By the way, you do realize, I believe this was offered...

00:59:17.000 Certainly at first to federal workers who were called back to the office and still want to work from home.

00:59:23.000 Right.

00:59:23.000 Just in case you thought there was a different standard for you and federal workers.

00:59:27.000 Can you imagine in 2025 still working from home?

00:59:30.000 If so, you're probably that broad at the RFK hearing right now who protested wearing a mask.

00:59:35.000 You're probably still that person.

00:59:36.000 Yeah.

00:59:37.000 And in a recent poll just talking about the mandate, most Americans like this idea. 0.96

00:59:44.000 Damn good deal. 0.97

00:59:48.000 See? 0.99

00:59:49.000 There you go.

01:00:28.000 But listen, don't take your foot off the gas.

01:00:30.000 Continue to support stuff like this because you're going to see the media go after Trump hardcore.

01:00:35.000 You just saw the lies yesterday.

01:00:37.000 Shutting down food for kids.

01:00:38.000 They're going to keep running with that.

01:00:40.000 Comparing him to Hitler. 0.78

01:00:41.000 You thought it was bad before.

01:00:42.000 We've only just begun.

01:00:44.000 This fight just started.

01:00:46.000 Yeah, it's funny you guys, well, Stephen, you brought up Reddit politics and you go there, the first actual link, not the pin.

01:00:53.000 Trump is trying to collapse our economy.
