On this week's episode of RUMBLE, the crew is joined by comedian Josh Firestein to discuss a variety of topics, including: John Oliver is a segregationist. Stephen Colbert is a man of many talents. President Trump is a narcissist.

00:03:17.000Today we're back to news as it is happening, and John Oliver is always wrong.
00:03:21.000I expect this show to be completely removed because every time we critique John Oliver, his talent agency directly claims that it's a copyright violation and gets it removed.
00:03:29.000I'm willing to bet it's because of the many, many millions of plays critiquing him.
00:03:32.000So if at some point today you're watching on YouTube, which you shouldn't be, and you see this...
00:05:12.000And right now you're seeing the left say the quiet part out loud.
00:05:14.000Back in 2014-2015 when I was in my den in Michigan, the Mizzou scandal took place.
00:05:20.000That's where there was a black-only safe space.
00:05:21.000This was kind of the first time it was...
00:05:24.000I remember saying, hey, okay, so they want to bring back segregation.
00:05:27.000The progressive left wants to segregate us racially.
00:05:31.000Well, now, people like Trevor Noah and this panel of experts, they're saying that out loud.
00:05:39.000Back then, they were saying, no, no, no, we're not advocating segregation.
00:05:41.000And now, people like Trevor Noah and Princeton professor Rua Benjamin, they're saying, well, yeah, no, actually, we're pretty much advocating segregation.
00:05:49.000I found myself wondering, and this applies to America, and then maybe it'll go to other places in a different way, because Finland ties in.
00:05:56.000Do you think that integration was the right move?
00:06:02.000Like, and now I'm separating two things, because I know in America people are like, well, of course, I mean, there was racism and there was segregation, and I go, yeah, no, no, no, I'm separating them.
00:06:13.000Let's separate someone being oppressed and someone not being able to get a job and someone not being able to get a bank loan.
00:06:18.000Let's take all of those, the negative things away.
00:06:20.000I think part of the reason Finland is able to do it is because, have you been to Finland?
00:07:36.000But again, when you're being integrated into institutions, into a culture that's a supremacist culture, that's a culture that feeds off of hierarchy, that feeds off of insecurity, anxiety, why are we being integrated into that?
00:07:55.000I mean, I love how right here what he is saying, this is what they refer to as the Great Replacement Theory, the idea that a shared identity, now in the States it's largely shared values, but let's be honest, it was largely white Western European founders of this nation, and they don't share any of the same values as most African nations, Asian nations, and with good reason.
00:08:13.000Okay, so if you have a shared identity, it's...
00:08:16.000It's easier to know that you're all pulling the same direction.
00:08:19.000It sounds to me like you just made an argument against diversity, Mr. Duke.
00:08:47.000It's almost like when the left says, oh, look at Sweden, oh, look at Denmark, and look at their socialized health care, and we're going, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:08:57.000Yes, but what's the primary difference?
00:09:00.000The population of Rhode Island that's all homogenized.
00:09:02.000Homogenized, to use your term, versus a very mixed and diverse, I'm sorry, I meant to say our greatest strength, 330-plus million people here in the United States who aren't all rowing the same direction.
00:09:12.000Look, I'm not saying that we should have segregation.
00:09:15.000That's, of course, a leftist belief, as it was back then.
00:09:17.000What I am saying is they're just missing the truth by that much!
00:09:24.000Well, Trevor Noah was born in apartheid era, South Africa, in 1984, and the other person there, Benjamin, wrote four books about white supremacy in healthcare.
00:11:03.000There's not much more to say than that.
00:11:05.000that sting us out and we are actually going to have pops crowder on the program later in It'll be, for those of you who are Rumble Premium members, because he was there!
00:11:26.000In Detroit, when they just said, you know what?
00:11:45.000But this goes back to first principles.
00:11:47.000And I think that a lot of people out there, a lot of talking heads, a lot of the watch and react of the day.
00:11:54.000We need to get back to understanding what it is that we believe, or at least present it to people.
00:11:59.000You have to see this through the lens of, okay, we do believe that there are fundamental American values.
00:12:03.000Now, it's not because of melanin, but when you have people like Trevor Noah who are not from the United States of America, and they are advocating for cultures that are more similar to other nations, that are entirely a race of people, they are racist, they are fundamentally entrenched in a worldview that cannot be reconciled with the United States of America.
00:12:23.000So I support segregating us from those people.
00:12:44.000Well, when they see everything through the lens of race, it's a constant hierarchy of oppression.
00:12:49.000That's why the whole stop Asian hate thing fell apart immediately when we found out who was committing the crimes against Asian people in this country.
00:13:01.000I am not on board with the white supremacists, because I don't know if you know this, but the white supremacists, they always say, hey, we should go back to Europe, like an ethnostate.
00:14:02.000Before we get to defending the entire free world, though I use that term loosely, looking at you, Europe, how about just being able to protect yourself?
00:14:09.000How about just starting to spend the portion of NATO that you are contractually obligated to spend as a portion of your GDP? By the way, a great many deal of back payments in there.
00:14:20.000So when everyone says Donald Trump is alienating us from our allies, well, hold on a second.
00:14:24.000If you make a deal with your friend, let's say that you're going to go halfsies on a boat.
00:14:30.000Or a 4x4, some, let's call it some recreational vehicle.
00:14:35.000You pay the entirety, this person still uses it every other weekend, and they never pay a dime.
00:15:29.000And of course, the Europeans are mad that they were left out of the discussions, and they rightfully should have been left out of the discussions, because they suck.
00:17:12.000If we don't prevent a wider war, as the Polish PM, I'm entitled to say it loud and clear since Poland already spends almost 5% of its GDP on defense.
00:17:25.000Poland is basically the only nation that has done it consistently.
00:17:29.000This guy's not a conservative, but he's pointing out what we all know.
00:17:33.000He's saying, well, yeah, Donald Trump is saying that the rest of you should spend, and you guys use us.
00:17:37.000You guys use us as this beacon of hope, or you say, what if Putin marches on through Poland, but we're spending all the money in the defense, and where are you guys, NATO? You're not doing anything.
00:19:43.000While the rest of the world has been standing there with their hand out, blaming, demanding that America foot the bill while telling us, What we should do as we foot the bill?
00:20:31.000And by the way, contrast that with the U.S. Army has had its best recruiting month in 15 years.
00:20:37.000So it's our job to provide security for the world.
00:20:41.000And we'll get to charity in a second because the United States military is a global charity and it has been taken advantage of.
00:20:46.000While their numbers are shrinking, Do you have any idea how bold these pricks must be to tell us that we're dropping the ball while they know that their military capacity is at its lowest since the early 1800s?
00:21:02.000Wouldn't it be the time, if this really is the be-all, end-all war for Europe and he's going to march through and go on to Poland and go everywhere else, wouldn't this be the time to get more people into your military services and go, hey, hey, hey, there's a threat at our door again.
00:21:23.000It's really hard to get the kind of young men to enlist into service to protect pridefully their nation when you've told them that they are villains and they have nothing to be proud of.
00:21:33.000Hey, if I'm a Brit right now or German and I see the gang rapes going on, I see the streets, I see Tommy Robinson being held indefinitely without bail.
00:23:11.000He's not going to actually send troops to fight.
00:23:12.000Okay, so maybe he's going to send troops like on the Donbass region, put them on the border so that he can make sure Ukraine stays on their end.
00:24:06.000You mean send peacekeeping forces to an area where there largely isn't conflict because Ukraine matters more than your own people.
00:24:14.000The Ukrainians are allowed to preserve and protect their people and their identity, but not the people of Britain.
00:24:20.000And by the way, the same people who believed that you should be British, that Britain was for Brits, the Brexit people, you browbeat, you guilted, you lambasted, you said we're racist, and you wonder why your country doesn't work.
00:24:34.000Hey, how's that free internet working out?
00:24:37.000You're welcome from the American military.
00:24:39.000By the way, the National Security Advisor last week, Mike Waltz, said that Europe should take this leading role in Ukraine's security guarantees.
00:24:46.000This is a direct result of an administration coming in saying, hey, guess what?
00:24:51.000We're not going to be footing the bill anymore.
00:25:18.000Because this is the first time in our lifetime, and that includes Barack Obama, Joe Biden, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, where we have a leader saying, hey, this isn't fair.
00:25:36.000To stand up and say what many Americans know and believe.
00:25:41.000That's why President Trump has a mandate of the masses.
00:25:43.000Not just because of an electoral college landslide, arguably.
00:25:46.000By the way, we intercepted, this is exclusive, a leaked conference call between these European nations showing, tipping their hand a bit as to their plans.
00:27:26.000The point here is everything that the media and Europe have been bitching about regarding Donald Trump, and by the way, what is fundamentally the worldview of conservative Americans, it's working.
00:27:37.000We now have a light that is shining down upon Europe.
00:27:41.000And their complete abdication of their responsibilities, then obfuscating the fact that they have not been fulfilling their responsibilities for the first time in our lifetime, hey, Europe, the free ride is over.
00:28:07.000Three and a half years while this conflict has raged, or three years while it's raged.
00:28:11.000No one else has been able to bring something together like what we saw today because Donald Trump is the only leader in the world that can.
00:28:36.000It's something the world should be thanking President Trump for doing.
00:28:39.000He's been able to achieve what for two and a half, three years no one else has been able to achieve, which is to begin this process, a serious process.
00:28:49.000Obviously a lot of work remains before we have a result.
00:30:07.000By the way, you could ski down that man's face.
00:30:09.000Here's the reason, too, that Russia thinks The rest of the world is weak.
00:30:15.000Right now, here in the United States, what's happening is transgender service members are going to court over Donald Trump's ban, meaning you have to identify with your biological sex in the military.
00:30:23.000Do you think they have a chip in their brain for that in the Russian military?
00:30:26.000Let's see what this little pissant's complaining about.
00:30:28.000I've met and exceeded those multiple times.
00:30:31.000The voice comes in and it's barely possible.
00:30:33.000To meet those standards is inaccurate at the least.
00:31:17.000Like I said, my family, we've planned our life heading into the military, and I had that contract signed, and I passed all the standards.
00:31:26.000Yeah, but I don't want you planning your life in the military by getting a free sex change on the taxpayer dollar.
00:31:30.000I don't want you planning your life in the military by getting hormone replacement therapy, not paying for it like every other American citizen does.
00:31:35.000I don't want you planning for your life in the military by going out there and protecting us and making us less safe because you don't meet me.
00:31:41.000Not only the physical standards, as most transgenders don't, but none of you, none of you could meet the rigorous mental standards because of the statistical comorbidities that accompany gender identity dysphoria.
00:33:40.000Just think about, do you have any idea how regimented the hormone replacement therapy, let alone if you've gone through any type of sex change operation, do you have any idea how on top of it you have to be when you're out there in the battlefield?
00:33:51.000Yeah, well, if they run out in the battlefield.
00:33:58.000If you deploy, you come back, and then you say you have PTSD, you have extreme PTSD, and you have extreme trauma, they won't let you go back again.
00:34:31.000A lot of you have asked my opinion on the Ashley Sinclair, Elon Musk baby thing.
00:34:35.000Just going to let you know, having had the inside lane on this for a very long time, an inside lane on more goings-ons behind the scenes, I think it would be inappropriate for me to comment, so I'm not going to.
00:34:47.000I'm pretty sure you can guess where I line up.
00:37:13.000He leads it off with either a bunch of false premises or outright lies and misrepresentations to try and set the tone so you believe he has some credibility, which he doesn't.
00:37:23.000All references, links in the description.
00:37:26.000You'll probably have to watch us on Rumble because it'll be removed from YouTube.
00:37:38.000Honestly, I'm not nuts about it either.
00:37:42.000Incredibly, it has been less than a month since Trump's inauguration, but it already feels like an eternity.
00:37:47.000In just the past four weeks, he's pardoned or commuted the sentences of January 6th rioters, withdrew the US from both the Paris Accords and the WHO, announced plans to take over Gaza, issued an executive order trying to undo birthright citizenship, blamed the fatal DC plane crash on DEI, renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, responded to blamed the fatal DC plane crash on DEI, renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, responded to fires in LA County by releasing billions of gallons
00:38:11.000Repressed a four-star general with the host of Fox and Friends as Secretary of Defense, and announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
00:38:18.000Okay, so if you believe that, that would be one way to see it.
00:38:22.000President Trump pardoned non-violent January 6th protesters who were denied due process, as all Americans are entitled to.
00:38:28.000He withdrew the United States from international climate scams.
00:38:31.000And, by the way, the WHO, the organization that claims Taiwan doesn't even exist.
00:38:35.000He stated that his administration's intent is to apply birthright citizenship as intended by the drafters themselves.
00:38:41.000Pointed out that DEI has no place in organizations like the FAA or military where lives are actually at stake.
00:38:45.000And yes, he did release billions of gallons of water to Californians who couldn't access it because of a fish that doesn't swim and replaced a compromised general with the first Secretary of Defense to have actually seen active combat this century in at least several decades in comparison to other generals.
00:39:00.000And yes, announced reciprocal tariffs on countries that are already doing exactly that to us.
00:39:05.000And what has this gotten Donald Trump?
00:39:08.000Because you can lie until you're blue in the face.
00:39:10.000The highest approval rating of his political career at any point?
00:39:44.000*laughs* Yeah, and he said, oh, isn't that great?
00:39:48.000You know, they asked when they could boo to be polite.
00:39:50.000Well, you know, I don't know if you know this, but Americans kind of have a thing of, kind of a thing when someone boos their national anthem, especially considering that the sport could never have been brought into the modern world without American finances and ingenuity.
00:40:00.000What John Oliver doesn't show you is that then this happened.
00:40:34.000Yeah, three fights in the first minute, and then the United States beat Canada at its own game, and it's their only claim to fame in arguably what is the highest level of hockey that has ever been played on the world stage.
00:40:46.000I say arguably, but it was a good game.
00:40:48.000So how's that working out for you, Canada?
00:40:51.000Let's move on down the trail to the claims that John Oliver makes.
00:40:54.000Here's one claim that he makes, that getting rid of DEI is actually not about restoring merit.
00:41:00.000Our country is going to be based on merit again.
00:41:29.000It means that only 6% of S&P 100 companies are made up of white people, which occurs nowhere else in nature.
00:41:36.000It means that Asians are refused from Ivy League schools, even though they have higher SAT scores, higher grades, more extracurriculars.
00:41:43.000And it even means, DEI, that people like this can almost become president.
00:41:48.000We see things that are being taken Nature pores are vacuum So where there's a vacancy, then let's fill it And it doesn't mean we don't see the beauty in everything Especially Chardonnay These things all coexist Yeah But I believe we fight for something, not against something.
00:42:11.000Look, it's not a question as to whether she's drunk.
00:42:15.000She looks like she's about to rub someone's face.
00:43:08.000Here's another claim that John Oliver makes here.
00:43:12.000Donald Trump obviously played hardball with Canada.
00:43:15.000We have the reciprocal tariffs because they do it to us.
00:43:17.000He makes a claim to the Canadian border, and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because this is a very, very obvious answer.
00:43:23.000But the claim from the left, which is so lazy and rudimentary, is there aren't a bunch of drugs coming through the Canadian border right now.
00:43:30.000Part of Trump's rationale for his tariff threat was that Canada wasn't doing enough to stop the flow of fentanyl into the US, even though the total amount intercepted at the Canadian border last year was just 43 pounds, or up 0.2% of all US border fentanyl seizures.
00:43:45.000Trump quickly paused those tariffs after claiming that he'd won concessions from Canada.
00:43:49.000Okay, really quickly, the truth here is obvious.
00:43:52.00043 pounds of fentanyl is like 9.7 million lethal doses.
00:43:55.000It's enough to kill the entire population of New Jersey and at least 39 individual states.
00:44:00.000But this idea, and this is what they do on the left, they go, well, there aren't a bunch of illegal immigrants and drugs coming through.
00:44:09.000But you do understand the fact that right now the southern border is the path of least resistance.
00:44:14.000Everyone, please tell me you understand this.
00:44:15.000And if we fix that problem even 100%, But the next path of least resistance is Canada.
00:44:20.000If they don't secure their own borders, which they have no interest in doing, or at least they didn't until Donald Trump told them to step up, we don't fix the problem.
00:44:27.000It's like having a big hole in a boat and another hole that's a medium size, and you plug the big hole, but you're still going to sink if that medium hole is still there.
00:44:34.000And by the way, it's likely going to get bigger.
00:44:38.000This is a preventative measure so that we're not just spinning our wheels solving one border while the other one remains completely wide open because of a socialist Castro son pussy.
00:44:49.000By the way, there were 200,000 illegal encounters at the Northern Border.
00:44:52.000That's a 600% increase from 2021. We saw increases across the board.
00:44:56.000Of course, again, Southern Border is the easiest, but you can sort of read the tea leaves when you see that traffickers are actually on TikTok advertising Northern Border Crossing services.
00:45:53.000But I don't really understand how they're now offended at other people having access to your information because the government has had it for decades and used it against you.
00:46:01.000But here's the claim is that Doge having access to personal data is a huge risk.
00:46:07.000It is alarming that you had access in any form, especially given what's inside that database.
00:47:08.000Have, do you remember, the IRS used your information and data to audit conservative organizations and individuals, to spy on Americans using the Patriot Act, to target parents at school board meetings for speaking out against whatever the topic is, often transgender bathrooms in the face of some kind of sexual assault that had taken place.
00:47:25.000They just don't want DOGE to have the info of the agencies.
00:48:13.000Elon Musk, a guy who you know who he is, and his gang of young men, and I think a lady, six people or whatever, we all know the identities of, or, like you said, 70,000 people, we don't even know.
00:50:07.000This is kind of tough to fact check because it's just about feels, but here's the truth.
00:50:12.000It's not hypocritical at all to believe that there needs to be an audit.
00:50:16.000Let me ask you, Mr. Oliver, do you understand the fundamental difference in a small group of people?
00:50:24.000Who are auditing these giant institutions of government in order to downsize them and relinquish power versus an administration that continually grew them so they could seize more of your personal property information rights.
00:50:39.000One is obsessed with relinquishing power.
00:51:03.000And maybe that's why for the first time in 20 years, most people feel like the country is finally headed in the right direction, whereas over the last three, four years, it was an all-time low as far as American trust levels in our institutions, be it the FBI, the IRS, the Treasury, the government, Senate.
00:51:28.000I couldn't believe he decided to go out on this one.
00:51:31.000Because he's the only man left who actually believes that USAID is a humanitarian organization.
00:51:37.000It's worth looking at one place they've already done a f***load of damage, and that is USAID. It's an agency that provides humanitarian and development assistance in over 100 countries, and it's been described as the world's single largest humanitarian donor.
00:52:25.000If they've conducted these audits and you see numbers like $11 million for Sesame Street in Iraq, $6 million to promote tourism in Egypt, $1.5 million for improving LGBTQ acceptance in Serbia, which is 90% Christian, then the audit didn't work.
00:52:42.000That's the whole reason for needing people to go in when you're talking about this giant budget that is effectively a money laundering slush fund.
00:54:00.000You called us Nazis then, and you imply that we're Nazis now.
00:54:04.000You can go f*** yourself back to the UK. Let's go on to another claim here, and this one is simply verifiably like there is no leg for him to stand on, which tells me he's okay lying to his audience.
00:54:28.000Americans have no idea how much we spend on foreign aid, given that the actual share is less than 1% of the federal budget, and never has a poll shown such distance from reality.
00:54:38.000Really, yeah, that's like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker claiming only 1% of his budget is allocated for hot dogs.
00:55:41.000By the way, none of this is to speak of our military, the world's greatest charity, so that people in NATO don't have to pay to protect their own countries, and they can give their own citizens free healthcare, free internet, free insert social services here, because they don't have to foot the bill to protect the free world, and that's an $820 billion budget item.
00:57:19.000Right now, people like John Oliver, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and we've shown you side-by-sides where they just copy each other's jokes verbatim.
00:57:28.000President Trump has actually been the foundation for a tectonic shift right now in international and domestic policy and Americans' fundamental view of government and their role in the average American's lives.
00:59:11.000And again, you need this because of the financing system that we have in the United States where you have these giant institutions who exist to screw you.
01:00:42.000So before we even get to just doing away with SNAP and the welfare programs that we have and the giant social safety nets and the welfare state, common ground, right?
01:00:55.000We have an $80 billion food stamp program.
01:00:59.00070% of that is going to processed foods.
01:01:02.000We shouldn't be spending 10% of the SNAP program on sugar drinks.
01:01:08.000So we have a direct ability to change things there.
01:01:12.000The one place that I would say that we need to really change policies is the SNAP program and food stamps and in school lunches, because there the federal government in many cases is paying for it.
01:01:24.000And we shouldn't be subsidizing people to eat poison.
01:01:28.000Yeah, you know, a couple of rapid facts for you.
01:01:33.000Snap recipients spend three times more on soft drinks than milk.
01:01:38.000Some of the items they buy most, bagged snacks, candy, cookies, ice cream, while they demand that you...
01:01:43.000Recognize them as beautiful, big and brave, healthy at any size.
01:01:47.000And of course, the biggest beneficiaries are companies like Coca-Cola, other giant junk food corporations.
01:01:51.000and the studies that have come out recently have shown that SNAP recipients are somehow, my God, this is the first time where you have people who allegedly are starving and are fatter, heavier, and unhealthier than before.
01:02:04.000SNAP recipients consume more calories than the average American.
01:02:23.000It's a far cry from Cinderella Man, Jimmy Braddock, you know, getting a loaf of bread and returning the money.
01:02:27.000It's someone buying, going down to the state fair, using their card to get fried Oreos and funnel cake, and then demanding that you recognize them as beautiful while they declare themselves a 10 because they're OnlyFans.
01:03:05.000My dad was in Detroit during the Detroit riots.
01:03:08.000And he was part of that integration where they just put everyone on buses.
01:03:11.000I think they called it the cross-integration busing system.
01:03:14.000And so he can give you some first-hand experience where maybe he finds some common ground with Trevor Noah and maybe thinks he's a stupid prick.
