the nashville shooter and the release of this manifesto it was immediately a source of great concern for
00:01:47.780
many of us when we knew that this is someone who had been radicalized had taken life and had done so in the
00:01:53.600
grizzliest and most horrific of ways and now we are starting to see some of the motivation that drove this
00:02:02.460

00:04:13.700
so the schedule isn't necessarily something i need to go through in detail but we will provide it for you
00:04:21.060
we're back live so stephen crowder gets a hold of this information he reads it you've got all of
00:04:28.860
the internet wondering whether or not this is authentic and rather than express concern over the
00:04:36.360
hate-filled rhetoric that radicalized this person in nashville to take innocent life you saw the
00:04:43.040
local government there more worried about the leaks so in a statement mayor freddie o'connell
00:04:49.940
essentially acknowledges the authenticity of what stephen crowder put out but there was no rebuking
00:04:57.500
of this this false fiction of privilege that justifies violence there wasn't a statement about
00:05:06.240
how this radical ideology has to be confronted and rejected no they're worried about how stephen
00:05:12.760
crowder got the information that's what they're most worked up about mayor freddie o'connell of nashville
00:05:19.240
i've directed metro's law director to initiate an investigation into how these images could have
00:05:26.080
been released that investigation may involve state local and federal authorities oh oh it may involve
00:05:32.660
those how clever back to the mayor's statement i'm deeply concerned with the safety security and
00:05:37.540
well-being of the covenant families and all nashvillians who are grieving this incident
00:05:42.320
naturally invokes additional emotional trauma and families or individuals who need support should
00:05:47.720
reach out to professionals what they think evokes trauma is the transparency i think what would evoke the
00:05:57.180
most trauma is if you had a dead family member a loved one community members someone you cared about
00:06:01.860
to have the content that is so dangerous just go unanswered by local leadership so i think we should
00:06:13.500
be more worried about racial violence directed at people who um who really are innocent and who are
00:06:23.080
displaying the immutable characteristic of their skin color and whether people are being targeted for being
00:06:28.120
white black brown otherwise it's horrendous and that's what we have to reject summarily we also have
00:06:37.220
got big news on capitol hill i want to go over house judiciary chairman jim jordan releasing a bombshell
00:06:43.280
report on the censorship industrial complex as you know we have been following this intersection between
00:06:48.540
academia the government and big tech to try to shape the nature of truth online it's one of the
00:06:54.080
reasons why we ask that you subscribe on rumble that you turn your notifications on that you don't
00:06:59.700
exclusively rely on some of the other platforms that that we broadcast on because the censorship
00:07:06.220
industrial complex is real so let's get into what jordan is putting out he says hundreds of secret
00:07:11.640
reports show how the department of homeland security cissa and the gec which is the state department
00:07:18.400
stanford and others worked together to censor americans before the 2020 election including true
00:07:25.080
information jokes and opinions the the federal government disinformation experts at big universities
00:07:32.680
big tech and others worked through the election integrity partnership to monitor and censor americans
00:07:39.920
speech according to one eip member and again that's the election integrity project
00:07:45.600
the election integrity project was created quote at the request of cissa the head of the eip also said
00:07:53.780
that the eip was created after quote working on some monitoring ideas with cissa remember if a private
00:08:00.180
entity is stood up to suggest censorship i guess that's okay that can be the free speech they're engaging in
00:08:07.340
but when you've got the government coaxing it and urging it along that's where you've got a problem so
00:08:12.440
back to jordan's tweets he says here's how it worked eip stakeholders including the federal government would
00:08:20.640
submit misinformation reports eip would analyze the report and find similar content across platforms
00:08:28.620
eip would submit the report to big tech often with a recommendation on how to censor let's break that down
00:08:36.660
for a moment it's not just that stuff was presented to some of these agencies and then that specific post
00:08:48.160
was removed they found examples of sentiment that they didn't like particularly about the vaccine
00:08:54.900
but also about elections politics and if they if they could highlight one reflection of a sentiment they
00:09:02.240
didn't like they used this fused reporting system to then just go try to wipe that sentiment across
00:09:08.880
off of platforms altogether so back to jordan the judiciary committee and the weaponization subcommittee
00:09:15.280
obtained these non-public documents and information from stanford only after threat of contempt
00:09:21.900
and then there's a link to the reports who was targeted americans of all political stripes
00:09:28.240
but especially conservatives and he's got a list here marjorie taylor green mike huckabee the babylon bee
00:09:37.560
sean hannity charlie kirk candace owens jack posobic james o'keefe benny johnson dave rubin these are a lot of
00:09:46.920
the channels that that people are turning to newsmax even newsmax getting hammered so it was jokes true
00:09:54.980
information anything that they were trying to get rid of back to jordan who did we miss did you have a
00:10:02.520
social media post that was targeted by the eip it's clear why at stanford tried or i'm sorry only
00:10:10.760
produced these after we threatened contempt the american people deserve to know if they were targeted
00:10:15.640
by their own government and so-called disinformation experts the committee is making data from these reports
00:10:22.800
publicly available that's at jim underscore jordan you can reply you can be a part of the research team
00:10:30.240
and the the real question after all of this is are we going to continue to fund it because it's one
00:10:37.920
thing writing reports and threatening contempt and sending subpoenas but if we're still going to send
00:10:43.400
money to the election integrity project through publicly funded universities through collaborations
00:10:50.440
with the department of homeland security and the department of state then we're just paper tigers
00:10:54.920
we're not actually doing anything to root out the censorship we're merely diagnosing it would you
00:11:01.140
ever go to a doctor who treated you that way you walk in and they say we figured out what's wrong with
00:11:05.040
you it's the flu good luck we looked at all your medical reports turns out it's cancer oh you want
00:11:11.400
chemotherapy you want radiation you want your treatment oh no we don't do that we won't fix the problem
00:11:15.680
we'll merely identify it it cannot be the posture of the republican controlled house of representatives
00:11:21.980
so we have to stop funding to these entities that's why these single subject appropriations bills
00:11:26.540
i'm working on are so incredibly important now i want to get to another big story and it has to do with
00:11:34.160
sequoia capital so if you think about the uniparty that i've been highly critical of here in washington dc
00:11:39.760
it requires a lot of money to run it and so they go to some of the most exquisite and elaborate
00:11:46.460
financial arrangements they can find and at times i am concerned that foreign money is working its way
00:11:54.900
into u.s elections through entities of venture capital where a lot of times there's not great
00:12:01.700
transparency into those dollars where they're coming from how they're co-mingled with domestic
00:12:06.640
entities how that can be part of a corrupt political process so before the 2022 elections
00:12:12.540
republican staff on the house intelligence committee executed a major investigation into this entity
00:12:19.240
sequoia capital it's the largest american venture capital fund it has incredibly like detailed ties
00:12:28.760
to china and to the whole ftx sam bankman freed fiasco sequoia is so deeply in bed with the ccp
00:12:38.220
that you're able to draw connections not just from where they get their money from but where it's going
00:12:44.460
sequoia is a major democratic donor with its leadership funneling tens of million dollars annually to
00:12:51.560
democrat campaigns and causes shortly after the election sequoia juiced up its donations
00:12:57.380
none other than kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell by orders of magnitude so just an example there was
00:13:06.100
a 750 000 donation to the senate leadership fund controlled by mcconnell and over a million dollars
00:13:13.280
to the mccarthy victory fund and another 500 000 to the republic to the national republican congressional
00:13:19.420
committee that was in 2022 and 2023 so despite internal promises by mccarthy after the election
00:13:26.100
the republican staff that worked on the report they were frog marched out of the building and the
00:13:32.960
investigation and report were deep sixed but then we fired mccarthy immediately following mccarthy's
00:13:40.740
ouster but before speaker johnson was elected chairman gallagher of the china select committee announced a
00:13:46.580
long-delayed probe into sequoia now speaker johnson is going after some of the republican staffers who may
00:13:56.580
have functioned as a go-between between mccarthy and some of the committee work or even sequoia itself
00:14:03.940
this is a good house cleaning and it needed to happen so that the probe into chinese influence
00:14:10.500
into american elections and american politics can continue republicans have been too cheap a date
00:14:16.940
after being weak on sequoia and china for far too long they've accepted pennies on the dollar compared
00:14:24.820
to what these folks were giving democrats and we shouldn't do that we cannot be beholden to these
00:14:30.820
foreign interests abroad and special interests here at home and one thing i am really excited about is
00:14:35.520
from mike johnson we see action the very staffers in the speaker's office who certainly have been
00:14:42.340
implicated in trying to shape scuttle inform on this really important report they're not in a position
00:14:50.740
to make decisions for the house of representatives anymore and that is certainly a good thing i want to
00:14:56.500
give you an update as we often do what's going on in the middle east right now unsurprisingly
00:15:02.320
joe biden is requesting an additional hundred million dollars for aid to gaza but we pick up
00:15:09.660
this report from the washington examiner the headline israel war high risk hamas could steal gaza aid
00:15:17.520
biden administration watchdog warns so this comes from the inspector general at usa id they're saying
00:15:25.780
that hamas and other terrorist groups will likely attempt to steal humanitarian assistance that the
00:15:30.420
biden administration intends to send palestinians a biden's announcement calls for this hundred million
00:15:36.500
and what you hear the ig saying from usa id is that there's not really going to be a governance
00:15:43.980
structure around how this money gets spent quoting directly from the ig there are a number of formal
00:15:53.440
or informal authorizations from armed groups so you'd be looking at the very armed groups in
00:16:01.120
gaza either hamas directly or functionally directed by hamas to distribute aid that is a crazy idea the
00:16:10.580
united states has got to get out of funding both sides of every conflict in the middle east we've been
00:16:16.720
doing it for most of my adult life and here even from the biden administration saying the hundred million
00:16:22.540
to gaza would would very likely fall into the hands of hamas we've been critical of usa id in the past
00:16:29.760
i've gone to the floor to try to highlight this agency as one that could see reductions in funding
00:16:36.280
in order to help us balance our budget and return to fiscal sanity i think that we too often believe that
00:16:43.740
spreading u.s cash all around the world is going to buy us goodwill the reality is oftentimes people
00:16:49.240
just think we're fools i made that argument on the house floor take a listen thank you mr speaker this
00:16:55.520
amendment reduces the amount of funding allocated to usa id by 4.5 billion dollars as i've mentioned
00:17:02.280
earlier usa id is a vehicle through which the american taxpayer pays for economic development in other
00:17:10.380
countries i think instead we should spend more money on the economic development of our own country
00:17:16.820
and actually if we spent less money overall we probably would see less inflation more prosperity
00:17:23.020
and the type of economic growth that we saw during president trump's time in office
00:17:26.700
usa id may have started with laudable goals but today they're promoting abortion globally with american tax dollars
00:17:35.040
they are pushing president biden's national gender strategy i never thought we needed a national gender strategy
00:17:41.560
but if we need a national gender strategy can we at least not spend so much money promoting it abroad
00:17:48.060
silly the dia dei programs uh that are embedded in the 1619 project have been embraced by united
00:17:56.140
nations ambassador linda thomas griefield and we see that continue to manifest through usa id
00:18:01.820
american taxpayers should focus their resources and their efforts on the american people and the american
00:18:08.380
economy this is a thoughtful reduction it should be easily agreed to and i reserve the balance of my
00:18:13.860
we are back live and folks on our getter stream think that it should be the rich middle eastern countries
00:18:21.180
that provide the humanitarian assistance to gaza there's good uh i think good logic behind that
00:18:27.500
and keith on facebook says no continuing resolutions and no ladder have you guys heard about the ladder
00:18:34.420
concept it's all the rage right now in the halls of congress and i'm going to maybe take issue with
00:18:40.480
keith's instant reaction rejection of this so here's how the appropriations process is broken
00:18:47.440
since the mid 90s our entire government is funded with one up or down vote all at once for every agency
00:18:56.920
and so one of the ways that you deconstruct that system is to say look even if you're extending
00:19:03.540
government funding for say pay for our border patrol pay for our troops veterans benefits care for the
00:19:09.120
vulnerable you don't have to do that at the same time and for the same duration as every agency of
00:19:16.560
government so for example you could create a laddered or a tiered system where we say okay pay for our
00:19:22.860
troops pay for border patrol we're taking that off the table we're going to extend those things out
00:19:27.980
until we can get our single subject appropriations bills negotiated with the united states senate
00:19:33.900
but like the doj the department of education the epa we don't have to extend those out as long as you would
00:19:43.340
extend out troop pay or border patrol pay you can put them quite literally on a short ladder
00:19:48.340
but then the question becomes will the house republican conference have sufficient courage
00:19:53.760
if the senate doesn't negotiate in that period of time to allow these mini shutdowns
00:19:59.540
one thing i could tell you far too many of my republican colleagues would literally do anything
00:20:05.680
to avoid a shutdown they would accept any spending amount they would accept any compromise on policy
00:20:13.360
they would do anything to avoid a shutdown and the democrats know that and so they play
00:20:19.400
the minority card with greater leverage as a result maybe if you didn't have to shut down the whole
00:20:28.500
government all at once we could help some of our republican representatives to find a little backbone
00:20:34.500
okay you don't have the guts to shut down the whole government do you have the guts to shut down
00:20:39.920
the department of education do you have the guts to shut down features of the doj that have been
00:20:46.920
turned against the people do you have the guts to shut down the atf for a period of time to bring them
00:20:52.600
into compliance with the law that they think they can make in the absence of congress so while while
00:20:58.700
keith is negative on the ladder i am quite open-minded about it now the ladder the ladders have to be the
00:21:04.440
right length they have to have the right consequences but the way to break the fever in this town is to
00:21:10.480
showcase to people that you don't have to vote for every agency for the same duration all at once at the
00:21:15.600
same time and once you start putting the cracks in that foundation i think the entire structure of
00:21:23.280
the uniparty's reign is at is at risk of uh of falling into some state of of collapse and that's
00:21:29.340
what we're here for we want the ideas that lawmakers have sincerely representing their constituents
00:21:34.340
to be offered due consideration particularly when they reduce federal spending because we don't do that
00:21:39.560
if we get everything else right and we spend this country into oblivion there won't be anything left
00:21:44.320
and so we have to fight with everything we have on on that particular front also have an update for
00:21:50.900
you regarding the natural world many of you may know i love bird watching it is one of my favorite
00:21:57.780
florida men things to do go out in a canoe kayak sometimes off a dock see the osprey the eagle
00:22:03.360
but we now are getting word pursuant to the latest report from npr that the american ornithological
00:22:12.080
society has vowed to change the english names of all bird species named after people so so there are
00:22:21.020
about 70 to 80 bird species that have got some sort of connection to the name of the scientist who
00:22:28.180
found them or some other human trait and the american ornithological society believes that that
00:22:34.960
might be offensive or derogatory or not in line with wokeness so wokeness has literally gone to the
00:22:42.200
birds at this stage of the game so anna's hummingbird gamble's quail lewis's woodpecker
00:22:51.300
berwick's wren bullock's oriole all could see their names changed and the whole goal is to not have them
00:22:58.920
named after any human who might have had an opinion or a sensibility that doesn't stand up to today's
00:23:04.700
standards it is it is remarkable when even the names of birds are are being changed we see this
00:23:13.540
alongside cities like charlottesville taking down statues and it's it's always good to add to our
00:23:23.300
understanding not subtract i always think that whether it is how we think about a fellow living
00:23:31.520
being in the natural world or how we think about an event in history we want to use the sharp side
00:23:36.760
of the pencil not the eraser here 70 to 80 bird species the woke birds i guess they're not woke enough
00:23:44.280
they will be with their new names we've got a big project coming out of our office regarding
00:23:50.080
how the speaker battle went down and in the coming days we will be releasing a film made by sasha who
00:23:57.540
directs this very podcast it is really i think illuminating as to the dynamics that unfolded in
00:24:04.540
a really historical moment for the united states house of representatives here's our latest trailer listen
00:24:10.160
and enjoy this is quite a sight to behold kevin mccarthy walking up to bobert and mainly
00:24:19.980
gates trying to convince mac gates to vote yes and not president kevin mccarthy on the brink of the
00:24:26.440
speakership all in the hands of mac gates who is not willing to give it to him
00:24:30.720
did you see mike rogers from alabama mike rogers of alabama launched at mac gates i've never seen
00:24:38.580
anything like this this is the kind of thing none of us have
00:24:41.540
