•Apr 15, 20263 days agoSummary
Stephen Crowder discusses the SAVE Act, a voter ID and election integrity bill facing resistance from Democrats and some Republicans (RINOs), explaining three legislative pathways to pass it. The episode also covers China's propaganda campaign winning over American youth, election integrity threats, and various cultural commentary.
Insights
- Voter ID requirements have 83% public support overall (95% Republican, 71% Democrat), yet Democratic leadership opposes them, revealing a gap between voters and party leadership on election security
- China's soft power campaign through social media influencers is successfully rebranding communist authoritarianism as aspirational, exploiting Western youth's shorter attention spans and headline-only consumption
- Senate Majority Leader Thune's refusal to pursue filibuster reform or parliamentarian replacement for SAVE Act passage represents a critical failure of Republican leadership on a foundational election integrity issue
- The left's political framework consistently operates through oppressor/oppressed binary (Marxist lens) rather than merit/consequence analysis, explaining seemingly contradictory positions across diverse issues
- Chinese espionage and bioweapon threats are systemic and ongoing (documented cases from 2020-2026), yet are being overshadowed by propaganda that romanticizes China's infrastructure and governance
Trends
Voter ID legislation emerging as central battleground for election integrity with bipartisan public support but partisan political resistanceChina-maxing trend among Gen Z and young adults, romanticizing Chinese culture and governance despite authoritarian human rights recordDocumented increase in Chinese espionage activities targeting U.S. military bases, critical infrastructure, and research institutionsDramatic 40+ point swing in American public sympathy away from Israel toward Palestinians in 4 years, driven by social media propagandaGrowing disconnect between Democratic voter preferences and Democratic leadership positions on core issues like voter ID and border securityHumanoid robotics development in Poland and Eastern Europe as alternative tech innovation hubs to ChinaPropaganda effectiveness increasing due to social media algorithms and declining media literacy among younger demographics

Tax Act can think of a million things more fun than filing taxes. Tax Act is going to name some now. Sitting in traffic. Folding a fitted bed sheet. Listening to your coworker talk about his fantasy team. Digging a hole. Digging an even larger hole next to that original hole. Unfortunately, Tax Act's filing software can't make taxes fun. But Tax Act can help you get them done. Tax Act. Let's get them over with. Welcome to the lineup. Live every day. Hey, couple, let's cut through the fog here today. Don't forget about the SAVE Act. That's probably the biggest, not only piece of legislation, probably the biggest political financial issue facing this country right now. People just kind of have forgotten about it. Well, explain to you exactly what it is and exactly what can be done and what you can do to take part in that. Because you know what? I don't know if you know this. Voter ID, if that's instituted appropriately, that's the ball game for cheating with elections. Of course, this is hyperbole. I'm obviously being simplistic. But we'll get into more in the segment. Also, China, views have changed where a lot of people seem to be falling to the propaganda on social media. There's still your enemy and they've released so many viruses, biochemical weapons that I think it's tough to keep track, so we'll do that for you. Also, the Polish have a robot who soils himself on with a show. I think I'm going to be sick. Oh, now he's brought out the black homosexual. Bingo! Ha! Now I am going to be sick. It's the DMC's poor boy. Ha! Oh, what people are having on college campuses better. What's calling? They will tell you which lies they will be spreading. There's no knowing where they're going, no a-singer, or who they're deep-platforming. Are they lying or just bending? Doesn't matter once it's trending. Ha! Not a shred of truth is showing from the investigations ongoing. Are the overlords still eyeing, accusing the president of spying? Yes, the content begins demonetizing for things that keeps on lying, but were certainly not lying because the month club may have died. Stop! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Hey, let's play some betting odds and when I'm not gonna bring up Kalshee. Caty Perry. Does she sexually assault Justin Trudeau? Well, I guess your betting has it already happened or will it happen? I think- doesn't he want that? Yeah, I guess in a manner of speaking. So, I mean, you know- Yeah. There's quite a- I didn't even mention this in the entertainment minute. about Kitty Perry. You just said this while we were in the room. I knew she liked black guys. What? Oh, stop it. Oh, no. Stop it. I don't know. I don't know which part of that is racist, but let's just go with Trudeau's black face like 19 times. I think that's the safe bet. Yeah, that's the... If you're going to say, who did the racist thing, it's the guy who put shoe polish, who put Kiwi on his forehead 19 times. That's true. You just said before the show, Cap Morgan CEO, we need a new enemies list. Well, yeah, I just said, you've got the people on there, the people that we kind of talk about. I was like, who do we not like? Right now. And your answer? I hate most people. I don't want for others to succeed. Thad Oscar. Yeah, exactly. I was like, why have you been narrowed down to like a top three? Randy Newman. Randy Newman. Randy Newman. Absolutely. Randy Newman on that list. He can't be on that list. Yes, he is on that list. That's not fair. We'll get to Randy Newman. Enough. Newman Acolyte Friday and Saturday, April 24th, 25th at Comedy Avenue in Lawton, Oklahoma. Mr. Josh underscore Firestein. How are you? Good. Good. Yeah, Lawton. That's the dwarf capital of North America. Hey, I see what you did there. Really? Because we're going to get to something that has to do with dwarves. Some travelers to China stumbled upon a very unique theme park. Huh? I'm at a dwarf amusement park in China. Big guy, little hand. We didn't add the music. Randy Newman. And Oscar. I like midget. Chinese dwarves get walkable communities before the stage. I'm amused. Don't want no short, people. I may have just lived the best five minutes of my entire life. I love this country. All right, so they're all off work, but Anna over here invited us to dinner. Yeah. You know, what is the left here saying all cultures are equal? What else do you do with them? It's not just that there's that park. It's that nobody seems to have a problem with that park. There's like, oh, very, very short of people, very funny, abnormal. Yeah, where's Peter Dinklage on this one? We're put in cage and people pay nickel. It's less people, so less money. That's right. You are children, E for free. Midget, not so fast. Not so fast. What is it with Randy Newman, too? Is that a different song from the one you just played? What is it with Randy Newman, too? That's the whole thing. Is that a different song from short people don't have a reason to live? I don't think that is. I think that is short people have no reason. Because he goes, they cut it before he says short people got. Does anyone? No reason to live. Hold on. You made Randy Newman sound retarded. Well, I didn't make him sound like that. Does anyone know his vendetta against short people? You know, I'm gonna generate my mom. And so I just put it hanging on to all the hate that I got in my heart. We gotta kill the midgets now. Whoa, whoa, Randy. Easy. He does. He does. I told my wife, I was like, yeah, there's this song. She's like, no way. And I played it for her. They've got no reason to live. Some people call you just hindsight, but I will put you genocide. My mother-in-law had to sing that in her sixth grade choir. Short people don't have a reason to live? Yeah, I swear to God. What? Yeah, yeah, Tina Bobeena. She had to sing that in middle school. Wow. They say the midget second best, but I'm gonna put it to the test. But I'm gonna put it to the test. You little bitch, I'll be your own ass ass. Whoa, I had to kill the midgets. Well, yes, it's not anti-semitic. He really is, just he hates short people. By the way, fifth Oscar. Some midget cut him off in traffic one time. That's it, I'm done. I'm gonna write a song about you. You do not have a friend in me, you midget bitch. He must have been so mad when the Wizard of Oz came out. You've made an enemy. Who did that? He just always speaks like that. That was good, Niddles. I know I just have a bunch of ideas in genocide as midgets from Randy Newman. And you took time to write all of them down, mind you. We were just going through Run-Thru and then it was like we got the Lollipop Guild, Rhymes with Kill, Test, SS, Pine-Sized, Genocide, they write themselves. By the way, in Back to China, you know, follow the red brick road that we are facing. That's their theme park. They even remade an American classic too, I should tell you. Yep. We re-run-ka. The amusement park even has their own little chocolate factory. Oompa to petitoo, watch out, we're coming for you. Oompa, oompa, to petitip, now this chocolate factory making. Oompa, oompa, my fortune. This is what the internet was made for. Well, I mean, they put them to work, you know. Put everybody to work. Yeah, well, that's, you know, a free nation. The funny part is the post are actually stressed that the dwarves, that's the correct term, I guess, which sounds like a mythical creature, but that's what we're supposed to use. The dwarves are not being exploited. This is their housing that they live in. This is the rest room. They make them live there. It's on the theme park. They can't leave. They can't leave. They can't leave. We are. They have all of this, and they're awesome. And like, we genuinely like, are friends with them now, right Anna? You do have to feed your livestock, that's true. My friend. My friend, yes. That sounded like a question mark. You're not being exploited. He's on. He can't leave. You're not being exploited as I do this video for social media in a language you don't understand. Oh, friend. Yeah, they're making them wear shoes that nobody wants. That's exact. Send the help. My, my feet are full tight. Now try to leave the park with Anna and see what happens. They're not exploited. They're wearing Yeezys. Well, they made them. So, yeah, with this little dollhouse. I don't have a real house. This is all fake. No, no, no, no house chicken coop. Chicken coop. Patel my family. I love them. Haven't seen them in 14 years. Has anybody analyzed her blinking pattern? Code. Yeah, nobody. I don't. Propaganda. The views of China to have changed. We're now people. Yeah, I have a generally favorable view of China more so than the United States. People just don't remember that they. It all of China outside of what you see is effectively still one giant gulag. Let's just be clear. That brings us to something completely unrelated and I had no way to transition. Katy Perry is having a really bad week. Yeah. It's entertainment minute. Now to be clear, innocent until proven guilty. Yes. Even when it's a woman who is a glorified professional stripper. Um, so who knows. But Ruby Rose came out and you can check the references. Accused Katy Perry of sexual assault from nearly 20 years ago, which, you know, I tend to err on the side of I don't believe you, but it's still funny. Katy Perry is denying a sexual assault claim made by actress Ruby Rose. Rose took to threads on Sunday to accuse the pop star of assaulting her at a nightclub nearly 20 years ago. In response to a post about Perry being at Coachella, Rose wrote, Katy Perry sexually assaulted me at Spice Market Nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a what she does? She was in a Meg? She also wrote, I was only in my early 20s. I'm now 40. It has taken almost two decades to say this publicly. I told the story publicly, but changed it to be a funny little drunk story because I didn't know how else to handle it. Later, she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret, but I did tell y'all she wasn't a good person. Instead, I got attacked by everyone. Yeah, and her exact quote, and by the way, if you have children, they should not be watching. Any story that involves Katy Perry just in general probably doesn't. It probably goes sideways. It's gonna be rough. She said that Perry saw saw me resting on my best friend's lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting. Vagina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her. Which has prompted her new autobiographical release, The Muff. Trudeau just bought a ticket. I'm just trying to make a living. I'm just trying to work. I'm a muff hunter. And the beekeeper. And the working man. I work. And the transporter. Pretty soon I'll be semi-retired, man. The parking attendant. The creature. You don't have validation, mate. This summer, the cashier. Validate this. It carries cash anymore. I'll lay an asshole. You will, you change. Weird thing. By the way, this is what she said. She said, sorry it's gone off the rails early. She said, it's so disgusting. I mean, here's the thing. If this story was about a man, obviously he would be locked away. And rightfully so. Yes. I'm more focused on the projectile vomiting. Because if a man had done that to me, I would be disgusted. I'd be mad and I'd punch him. I don't think I would. How gross was her vagina? That it made her vomit. It's a voluntary reaction. I just think it's, that just tells how gross it was. If, if, if in fact, I don't know even how that's possible. Really, she was on the couch and her friends, how it's even possible to get in position. Oh, it's possible. What? Yeah. Hey, did you see that new Katy Perry thing? Yeah, that's crazy. It is. It's not even possible though. How sure it is. No, no. Yeah, yeah, it's possible. Look, I'll show you. Here, look. So the friend was laying down, so you lay down. Right, okay. Yeah, the ruby rose lady, she's laying down. And I'm her friends and then, yeah, Steve's lap. And then she comes in all perv-ing goes, hey, whoa, look at that. And then she takes her gun, she spreads, shut it down. This is not kosher. Well, what the hell are you guys doing? This is research. Yeah, it's for the show. Gerald, you're the CEO of this company. You should know better. What, Sam, get out. No, I'm committed to research. Go, go, go. Go, bye. Bye, Sam. Gerald likes it. I thought you'd Gerald. I stand corrected. Now, um... Say that I liked it, either. The incident is being investigated by police. So beyond the fact that it's a funny story and it is a funny story, we'll just leave it at that and innocent until proven guilty. You know, I'm not a Katy Perry fan, but just like with whatever's name was that Jack Reacher actor, Alan Richardson. Richardson. What a dumb name. Hard to say. I don't want to allow my personal bias to cloud my judgment here. Her representative, to be fair, denied Rose's claims, no surprise there, but then people have been reexamining some stories related to Katy Perry and some things have been on earth like this 2014 interview with Anna Kendrick. She was with Conan and this kind of raises some eyebrows. It was a crazy night. I've never been around to so many. Katy Perry finger-banged my cleavage. It was a weird night. She's very mature. Okay. She just does that? She just does that? Oh my press, I'm kind of asking for it. If nobody does, I would have been a little bit... This was an unplanned moment and I want to stay right here. Paint the scene. So you're standing still and Katy Perry walks by and... I have met her before and yeah, she's like... That's her thing. Yeah, you know, she's aggressive. I like it. Okay. This is fantastic. I like it. Sounds like she means I don't have a choice. Yeah, or you could just watch any American Idol season with her on it. Every season she tries to... I don't watch by the way, but... Sure. Every season she tries to like, she flirts like way too heavily. Usually a young man. Totally watch it. There was one young man, he was under 18 and she was like... She got up and was like touching him. I don't watch it. One of the feminists by the way, you're talking about... They often try and change... They say rape is not a sexual crime, it's a power crime. It's a little of both, let's be honest. Sometimes rape is... It doesn't rape bad. Sometimes someone wants to have sex with somebody who doesn't want to have sex with them back and so they realize, I could probably get away with this. But what about the power structures? That's what people say, if someone's in a position of authority, okay, then gender is irrelevant. Here, there's a pretty long track record. I don't know innocent until proven guilty, but that's not been the approach of feminists, including Katy Perry. The other thing that I would say is obviously the Me Too movement took place in Hollywood. That's really where it started. This idea of rape culture, one of the first change in my mind. It does exist kind of in one place. It does. Hollywood. The truth is the sexual assault, the deviancy, the degeneracy, it exists in Hollywood and so they want to apply that to America at large and say, we have this systemic problem. The rest of America doesn't. Of course, you'll always have sex offenders. Of course, you will always have some rapists. But the concentration in Hollywood, it defies reason. And Anna Kendrick apparently had to deal with that, which is prompted the release of her autobiographical picture. Pinch perfect. So we just had to keep. I mean, why not? We needed a sound effect. Once you have Randy Newman claiming he'll genocide midgets, what's he never said? There's no real going over. He says short people got no reason to live. That sounds like a genocide. That sounds like it to me. Well, it's the beginning of. It's very clear. Then he says no short people, not some. Not will judge them on the content of the character. Just no short people. You all die. Talking about you. The whole song is describing what they look like and all their, you know, all their flaws. He's like, here's a reason. Exhibit A, why they need to die. Exhibit B. Not with this proportional features. And you know that the God's most hated creatures. It's all Newman, by the way. This is Newman's hatred, not ours. It's just a hate. It's just a weird thing to hate short people. It's a weird thing for it to be a hit. Like who was talking about that originally? I need that new sound. See, like I think I have something you're going to be very pleased with. Short people got no reason to live. He's like, huh. It's just something I've been thinking about. It's a little passion project of mine. Pitch it to like a 6'8 executive. You're right. They don't. Was that a B-side track? It was a big hit. I don't think it was a hit. So is Katy Perry a predator? Was Randy Newman a genocidal maniac towards midgets? The answer, of course, to both is yes. I don't know for sure to be clear, but what I do know is that if you're looking to refinance your home, you don't need to deal with predatory lenders, huh? Oh, Finnegan. I wanted to tell you that the American financing company is legit. Seriously, I'm over the moon with how they've helped me. I refinanced my home with them, and I'm saving $800 a month. And they postponed two mortgage payments. I rent. All right. Now we'll get into something that's really pretty important. Can we put Iran on the side for a second? Can we put the conspiracies out there, whether it's around Charlie Kirk. I know those are making the rounds again. The Jews, let's just put that on pause for a day. Because the SAVE Act is still hanging in the balance. Are you aware of this? And this not only could affect you more individually, it will, than any of these other issues. But you guys need to keep in mind that domestic issues, or certainly domestic budget, far outpaces when people just think about foreign intervention or the military. People don't realize when we're talking about entitlement programs. That ties directly into the SAVE Act because we're talking about steps toward actual authentic verification. Specifically in relation to voting. It's game set match if proof of citizenship is required for voting. Now I don't mean game set match that Republicans will always win, Democrats will always lose, or you'll always get the right candidates. I mean as far as ensuring election integrity. Right now we effectively have no tools to even deal with it. When people point to Europe, I noticed that the left will point to Europe as an example for free internet, for universal healthcare until it collapses. Never to all of these nations who laugh at us for not requiring voter ID. So you have Democrats right now who want you to forget about this, and Rhinos who definitely want you to move on. Factless Republicans because they're not doing anything with vigor here. Let me first explain to you what the SAVE Act is. For those of you who may not have been paying attention to it, and I know you're probably quite busy, you can check the references, we provide them every day, 11 a.m. Eastern when we stream. It would require voter ID. It would effectively codify what we thought to be the case, but it's not been the case, only citizens being able to vote, and it would limit mass mail-in voting. And before people go, hypocrisy, Donald Trump, vote, no, no, there's a big difference between voting absentee and simply sending out ballots to any address that you have on file. Why does this matter? Why is it so significant? Well, not only are these the bare minimum requirements to have free and fair elections, and it's one of those things that people say, if we already have free and fair elections, great, then this shouldn't really matter that much. The truth is there is half of this country that does not want free and fair elections. And there's half of this country, the same half, who want people who simply cross a border geographically to benefit from you, the American worker, your tax dollars. So it should start with voting. You eliminate that, okay, there's a serious cascade effect. Now, what can be done about this? And this is something that a lot of Americans are not aware of. We're going to give you some actionable steps at the end of the segment. Three things that can be done, and I'll walk through them. But first, the Senate came back from recess. It seems like they're always coming back from recess, and this obviously should be the top priority. It's a bill that Democrats fear most. Here's a setup for those who missed it. The Save America Act, and the Democrats are against it. I heard one of them say, we will stop the Save America Act. Let's be clear, Senate Democrats will never allow the Save Act to pass this chamber. The only ones that don't want it are Schumer and these corrupt Democrat leaders, because it will not give them the ability to cheat in an election. The Save America Act is yet another Republican attempt to intimidate and suppress the votes of anyone, anyone who threatens their extremist white supremacist agenda. Shut up, bitch! Voter ID with a picture. You want citizenship, proof of citizenship. Ideally, you want to end male imbalance. They're concerned that these districts that can come out in big numbers, be stifled with voter ID and other things. But when somebody says, no, we don't want voter ID, that means they're crooked. And the public understands it. You win elections with that. And this is something too, when people say there's no difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. Now, if you're applying this to, for example, the Rhinos, we're talking about the Senate, sure. And they should be ousted, and that's why we have a primary process. And I hope that you remember this. But I do think it's important to separate that from President Trump being the only president, let alone the only Republican, to take actionable steps on this issue that nearly all Americans support. Remember, 83% of Americans support voter ID. 95% of Republicans, even 71% of Democrats. Now, that's where you see the split of people who vote Democrat by default and their leadership. No Democrats in significant positions of leadership support valid voter ID. Let me ask you this, and I won't accept that it's discriminatory, because blacks don't believe it, Hispanics don't believe it. That's the one answer I won't accept, because it's the only one I've been given. Give me any other reason as to why one could be opposed or is opposed to voter ID. Give me one. Can't say racist. They don't have a nice picture on their ID. Neither do I. They pivoted from that to sexist. On mine, I have a half beard. I just want to... Which half? Left, right, up, down. My right, your left. Yeah, I just wanted to see if they'd let me do it. They did. That's fun. Jokes on them. Now I have to live with an ID that has a half beard. Who cares? So here are the three options before us, because what you may hear is, well, the chances of this happening are very slim. No, no, no. That is self-inflicted. This very reasonably could be done. There are multiple paths. Option one. This is the least likely. Completely abolish the filibuster with basically a simple majority vote. Then you could pass a SAVE Act with a simple majority vote to be clear. Just... And I know what you're saying. Do away with the... Do away with it. Do away with it. And I know that people say, well, that's inconsistent, because in the past you were against it. Well, sure, sure, I was, because I believe that we needed some semblance of our institutions. This is going to happen. The filibuster is going to be nuked at some point. And we now find ourselves at a different juncture, where the Democrats have given you their playbook. They will get rid of, and they will change rapidly all of our institutions, including pack the courts. They want to abolish the electoral college. Yeah. They want to lower the voting age to 16. Of course, they want to censor speech. Of course, they want to codify Roe v. Wade. Of course, they want mass amnesty and open borders. They want social security, healthcare, Medicare, social safety benefits for illegals, the Green New Deal. They want to make D.C. and Puerto Rico states. So when people say, well, hold on a second, hold on a second, you know, don't we need to keep the filibuster? No. We don't, because the left will end it when convenient for them. It's a game of chicken. We simply want to be in the driver's seat here and be most effective. So, yes, nuke the filibuster. Remember, a big reason why we're not doing it is because Thune says he doesn't have the vote. Ah. Well, give you his phone number. Poor guy. To place your call and place some pressure. That, just spoiler alert, what you can do is circulate this everywhere on your social media, on your platforms, because people should be aware of this. And then you can also place a call, send a message to Thune, demanding that he get off his ass and start doing something. Yes. Option two. And this is more likely, switch to the talking filibuster. That's the one I like the best. And this is where you would basically, well, explain it to people who maybe don't know, forcing Democrats to physically filibuster. Yeah, to physically filibuster. And if there's not a timed kind of limit, like the government's going to shut down tomorrow night at midnight, so you only have so much time, you make them continue talking. And if they stop, you get to pass it with a simple majority. Right now it's 5347. You'd be able to pass the SAVAC tomorrow. If you did this, they stopped talking and gave you the floor back. So it doesn't completely get rid of your opportunity to bring public pressure. Like Ted Cruz did this. He filibustered the ACA, right? It didn't work, but for overnight, he was able to do this. You've seen people do it over and over and over again. And if the American people care enough, sometimes they reach a compromise. If not, they ignore you and then they vote on it anyway. Let me explain it in terms of, Stephen, I understand. It's like a baseball game. They don't have a limit of innings, but they have a limit of pitchers. And just for people who don't know, so majority versus simple majority, the number goes from... So it goes from 60 right down to just really 50-50 and the VP can break the tire 51-29. And right now we would have 53. Right. Exactly. So I think the number is 60 down to 51. Okay, great. We have it now. I don't know what Thune is doing. I don't know what his excuse actually is. And I don't know how we live in a world when people say the left and the right are the same. I don't agree with that at all. But I do think when you... If you look at the halls of Congress and Washington, D.C. in general, a lot of these Republicans are very hard to differentiate. I don't know how we find ourselves at the point where there aren't enough Republicans to support forcefully wholesale voter ID. I don't know how we find ourselves at the point where there aren't enough Democrats. Isn't that insane? Yeah. By the way, Thune says he doesn't have enough votes for this to even be put in place. Right. That is your job. You're there to get the votes for this. Yeah. Make it happen. Does he have the votes to nuke the filibuster? Does he have the votes to push the talking filibuster? Well, maybe he'll get them sometime soon. Yes. But you would think that... Thank you. What's really frustrating is that I understand when Democrats disagree with something that the Republicans want to do because their constituents want that. Sure. When 71% of Democratic voters want voter ID and then you basically give them the middle finger right to their face... Well, yeah. And I can tell you this. This is the big difference between the Democrat Party and I would say certainly President Trump. And this is what I think is the most defining difference. The Democrats are not representing their voters. They are the tip of the spear. They are thrusting upon voters things that they did not ask for. For example, trans and kids. For example, putting men in... Biological men in women's sports. For example, open borders, mass amnesty, hotels for illegal aliens. A lot of the Democrat voting base didn't ask for that and there certainly wasn't a majority of the Democrat votership championing it. Now flip that. Let's just take the gender issue. Donald Trump does listen to and respond to his base. Executive order. There are two genders. One is the Democratic Party. Till 2017. 2016, we did the change of mind. And then a lot of you asked for it. Ceiling up the border. Deportations. He does listen. You do have a feedback mechanism that is at least semi-effective. The Democrats are going to do what they do because they are Marxists and they simply need to engage in progress for the sake of progress. And I cannot stress this enough. Before we get to option three, if we need to distill this down to understanding the motivation of the left. And if that sounds like I'm repeating this point, it's because I am. The only way to make sense of it is to understand that their loyalty is to Marxism. Now Marxism, what I mean by that is not just communism, that's sort of an economic system. Marxism. The ism. The worldview. Here's the difference. You're a conservative. You're an independent. You're right-wing. You're a mugger. You're a nationalist. Whatever. You're at the world through the lens of right, wrong, good, evil, responsible, irresponsible, rational, irrational, consequence, action, duty, right, privilege, right. You look at these things and you say, okay, where do we find the most sensible laws approaches? The left. Marxists. They always start off with oppressor and depressed. Majority minority. Marginalized the marginalizer. And that's what brings you to the communist economic system. You look at a business and you say, okay, this boss, this owner decided that he needs someone to perform a job, a duty, a service, and they determine the budget and this person determines for themselves if the yield is worth the risk or the time invested. Great. The left goes proletariat bourgeoisie. The left goes, we need to seize means of production and distribution. Why? Because owner bad. Because successful bad. It doesn't take into account what they've invested. It doesn't take into account if they're a fair employer. It's just you have more, therefore you are the bad guy. That's how you end up with an entire party that supports transing kids here in the states, but supports Hamas and Palestine abroad. That's how you end up with an entire party, for example, who believe in signing on to the Kuddo protocol, Paris climate agreement while they fly in private jets to their climate summits. That's how you end up with the party where you go, this defies logic. Yeah, it's not logical. They start off with oppressor, oppressed. They are Marxists. Even if it doesn't exist, and by the way, don't worry about that, even if you feel like everything's fine, they'll tell you why you're wrong. That's why they went for, oh, it'll, it races on me. It's going to disenfranchise you, and that didn't work. And so the black people are like, yeah, we're fine with this. But the women, it'll disenfranchise them because they can't get a marriage certificate, birth certificate with their name on it. Yeah. Seize the means of production and distribution. Why? Because owner successful bad. Black lives matter. Why? Go after white people. Why? Because you're the majority. This is the minority. LGBTQ, hold on a second. Why? Why is that important? Because they're a smaller group, so you have to give them special privileges. Well, no, no, no, no, you're bad. Why? Because you want voter ID, and that's most people, and a lot of these people don't have it. So you're the oppressor, they're the oppressed. Every single issue, you can look. You can examine that issue through the binary. Just do this, do this thought exercise. And just try and identify who the left would view as the oppressor, the oppressed, and you will come to the same conclusion every time. You will be able to figure out the left's perspective on that issue. It's everything. Question three, going back to the SAVE Act. This one is the most likely. You make the SAVE Act a part of the budget reconciliation process. Now some people will say, well, hold on a second, this seems like it might be in the gray area. Well, yeah, this is the same process that Barack Obama used to expand Obamacare. And at that point, it was pretty unprecedented to be clear. But the floodgates have been opened. Are we talking about fundamentally changing the world's best healthcare system and by that metric I mean the world's best healthcare system that is created and invented and spearheaded more technological advancements, medications, save more lives where you have the best mortality rates facing a serious illness. That's what I mean. Not if it's free. So overhauling a huge portion to some numbers had it a fifth of the economy. Or using that process for something that Americans assumed we already had anyway, voter ID. It only requires a majority vote. There's no filibuster that would be permitted. What you do have as an obstacle to that would be the bird rule. The Senate parliamentarian. Do you want to explain that, Gerald? Yeah, so the bird rule prevents you from using reconciliation for anything other than federal spending or revenue. So the Senate parliamentarian is the one that enforces the bird rule and that should be an easy thing to do. It should be a nonpartisan person except this one was, I guess, put in in 2012 by Nancy Pelosi, I believe, and also has a history of not supporting anything that the Republicans do in this regard and kind of going after what you would say are like Dem- It's Elizabeth McDonough. Yeah, Elizabeth McDonough. Yeah. McDonough! But guess what? Thune can also just get rid of her. Yes. And put somebody else in. Also, guess what? He can't say he doesn't have enough votes. He's the vote. Yeah. He could do it. In this case, he just said he's unwilling. Yeah. And so when people say the left and the right are the same, again, I disagree with that, but Thune is useless. Thune is a useless human being and I would say if you want to use the moniker of Betrayer, apply it to Thune. It's, ah, we don't have the votes for Nukin the filibuster. We don't have the votes for, you know, of course, the talking filibuster. As far as reconciliation and doing away with the parliament, I'm just not willing to do it. Just say that to all of them. He's not willing to do it. I don't know who has compromised him. I don't know why he is compromised. I only know that he's acting like someone who is severely compromised. But really quickly, I need an admonishment and as soon as I said it, I was like, that's not right. Nancy Pelosi is in the house. It was Harry Reid. Yes, Harry Reid. I confused the two evil twins. Sometimes. Harry Reid has a brother named Larry. He does. He beat the crap out of him out of a bar. The crap out of him. Sorry, I deserve that one, my bad. Thank you. So, you know, here's the thing. He could be the hero here, Thune. He could be the hero on this issue. He could make a big difference, but it really comes down to the fact that he is unwilling to do so. So, here to discuss this in the spirit of balance, Senator Maisie Harono to share her thoughts. Senator, thank you for taking the time. Hello, Stephen. As a guest on this show, it is my responsibility to ask the following question. No, not this again. Have you ever had or attempted to have consensual or non-consensual sex with a woman? For the hundredth time, no to half of that question. Would you like to? You can be Maui and I'll be Mona Anna. Oh, my gosh. Senator, that's a children's movie. You're here to talk about the SAVE Act, okay? And they say that Stephen can save me. The sexy ass making me red. Oh, that's the Spider-Man theme song. I can be your hero, Stephen. Please stop. I can kiss away your pain. I'm not the SAVE Act. I will suck on you forever. Gross! Stop, Senator. You can take a poop on me. What? Stop! Toolman, cut it! Stephen, I'm horrible. No, that's enough. Disgusting, Senator. That's a TV. Oh. Every time I see a hearing and she's there, is she about to read penthouse letters? Yeah. She was supposed to say something else. I know. Yeah. She's all for the raid, guys, and I'm glad that you came in at the opportunity moment. She's always going off script. It's crazy Japanese Hawaiian. You know, I thought we'd get this back on the tracks when dealing with something as wonky as the SAVE Act. Nope. A miracle. We did not. I'm gonna stress you David News over here. And what's crazy is I know, you know. This is on track as much as California's speed rail. That's true. I'll be pretty gon' Jillian. Michael Shoshie invited me on and Pierce Morgan has invited, and a few people are like, you know what, we appreciate that everyone here seems to be pretty rational and we're appreciate that everyone here seems to be pretty rational and reasonable right now, which is crazy that we're in some circles viewed as a voice of reason when you should see our wardrobe department and see what the run through looks like. I get it. It's very, very hard to make sense of what this is. They saw the Christmas room. Yeah. They did. It's not the Christmas room. No. It's your office. Yeah. It's the writer's office. Yes. We did, in fact, call states hours before anyone else during election within. One and a half points. And we do provide all of our references in a bibliography and we do, in fact, have a Christmas room. Yes. It's a very bizarre place to work. And fun. Now, here's the thing. President Trump's, I've said this before, when people go, well, you know, the thing is, how can you drop bombs on Iran? But not, I don't know, insert whatever entitlement program here, which is odd hearing from the right, domestic issues, there's a lot of gridlock. The truth is, the president is closest to a monarch as it deals with foreign policy. The domestic policy gets stalled. It gets blocked. For more proof of that, you can see what's happened with ICE in sanctuary cities. If you want to find Republicans and betrayers to blame, you can look at Congress. You can look at these halls. You can look at the Senate rhinos, people like, and I'll list them by name, Lisa Murkowski, Gross, Tom Tillis, Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, John H. Thune. Well, I hope that all of you, as soon as possible, call John Thune's office, 202-224-2321, and tell him to get off of his ass and do something. And post about this, wherever you can on social media, you do have a voice. This is something that is monumental facing the United States. It was a big issue. Many of you want it, and I still do. Many of you still do. Voter ID having had a voice. It was a big issue. Many of you want it, and I still do. Many of you still do. Voter ID having fair, secure elections. That, right now, is on the docket. And no one's talking about it. Yeah. If President Trump only did two things, secure the border and pass the SAVE Act, it would be the most consequential presidency, arguably, in history. And I'm not, I'm not, I'm saying that 100% real. Yeah. And it will make sure that our elections are never again potentially stolen, actually stolen, whatever you want to say. We had no confidence in that election. Right. That is not a tenable situation. Well, assuming we go with this idea that it's a valid comparison Iran to Iraq, I don't think it is. I think very few wars can be compared to the war on terror in Iraq. But let's use that as an example. Let's say that that's a wash. Okay, do you think that George W. Bush's legacy, which right now is largely an ineffectual Republican who was pretty moderate and who gave a lot of slack to the left, do you think his legacy would be different even if he had waged the war on terror, if he had codified voter ID and sealed up the border? We'd still view him quite a bit more favorably. President Trump has already taken care of the border. I know it can be undone. People are talking about that with Democrats, but that's the nature of politics. If this gets through, like you said, that would be the most consequential president in our lifetime. I think that assuming nothing else good came from either administration, which some people are trying to sell you, and that's false. These two things are important enough. Yeah, absolutely. And by the way, chat's asking for the phone number to be put back up. So, okay. I pinned it in chat. 202-224-2321. Watch. I'm going to say Stephen Doc. Stephen Crowder. Docs is the no, no, this is the number. Public number. Yes. You have a right to call and petition the people that represent you or the people that represent all of us. Yeah. That's fine. And more people probably should. This doesn't speak like Corona when you call. No. Don't do that. No, speak like you're from India. Call people out where they need to be called out. And then support people who are doing good work. Support representatives who are doing good work. Support creators out there who are doing good work. You can gain some true financial freedom on couple or decouple, whichever term you use, from big banks, download today, wallet.rumble.com. Download the Rumble Wallet. Support creators who are out there doing good work. I know that people have tip jar fatigue. I know people have subscription fatigue. But a lot, do you want independent content? Do you want objective content? Do you want content from people who are not bought and paid for? Then you have to throw a little something in the bin for them. But that's how we do it. So Republicans are very good at supporting things they like, right? Chick-fil-A back in the day, you went and supported it. It was packed everywhere. We suck at picking up a phone to voice displeasure. Right. We suck at going out and protesting and marching peacefully in the streets. The Tea Party was the best we've ever had at that. Right? And that's not saying a lot. They did a great job, but I'm saying, that's it. Yeah. Really had nothing else. That's one thing you guys have to have more teeth. I mean, for more proof, see the NFL. I am amazed that there are any conservatives in this country who, during the kneeling, the anthem, the capernic, and I'm amazed that anyone still watches the sports ball. I wouldn't be able to stomach it. But people are like, ah, you know, I don't care that they hate everything we stand for. Well, right now, all that's required of you is a phone call and posting to your social media. We're introducing new Maryland treasure scratch offs from the Maryland lottery.

And that brings us to another issue that's pretty significant. The United States still has, I don't know if you know this, threats that exist across the globe. No. Yeah. Well, there still are enemies. I was assured by Dave Smith and the like, we could just kind of like not pay attention to the rest of the world. Yeah. The normalcy bias a lot of people now think, yeah, well, we'll never have a war kind of hit closer to home because we've never experienced it. Well, we'll never have to deal with the draft because we've never experienced it. There are still entire nations out there that are plotting to destroy you either straight up or from within in the United States. Of course I'm referring to China, but first let's just acknowledge there have been some major swings in public sentiment. And this shows you that the war of information out there propaganda, especially in the era of social media, it's a byproduct that has an impact that many people probably didn't quantify correctly. There are a few examples of this. Let's just use this as a jumping off point because this went viral and you're probably aware of the public sentiment swing with young men toward Israel. Look at the net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. This shutdown has an even in the Donald Trump support at all. Look where we are now. It's a complete flip. Israel is losing support here in the United States, even amongst Republicans. Take a look at this data. Take a look at this data amongst young Republicans. Look at this massive shift that we have had over just the last four years, the net favorability of Israel among Republicans under the age of 50. You go back to 2022, two thumbs up, two thumbs up for Israel amongst young Republicans. But by 2025, look at this, already a 30 point shift away, their net favorability down to minus two. Today, look at this, minus 16 points. That's an over 40 point shift. Take a look here. I mean, this is a change. This is a change. That is what's most telling me. Americans sympathize more with the Israelis or the Palestinians. Back in 2022, before the October 7th attacks, it was the Israelis by 28 points. That would even climb into the 40s, 50s, depending on which polling you looked at in terms of who Americans sympathize with, the margin very much on the side of Israel. Look at where we are now. In 2026, Americans sympathize more with the Palestinians by an 11 point margin. That is a shift of nearly 40 points in just four years time. My goodness gracious, this is the best position that the Palestinians have ever been in, in the minds of the American public, the Palestinians making history in terms of who Americans sympathize more with. And that tells you, by the way, that propaganda works on both sides. Because propaganda really just comes down to making the case and trying to convince people. Well, that poll there is misleading too. I sympathize with Palestinians not just because of what they're dealing with with Israel, but because they have Hamas. Well, in the other... And that they elected them in the office 20 years ago, and they're still living under the rule. I sympathize for them. Yeah. But the way they sell that is they make it sound like, oh, well, I just think Israel's committing a genocide and... Well, you're the problem is there are a lot of people who think that. So I would say I'd probably be in the unfavorable camp toward Israel, probably a switch. Just because of... I mean, just what they did this last week at risking the ceasefire, at risking the peace talks. I definitely have an unfavorable view of the secular, largely secular government of Israel. I don't like that they take for granted the aid that we provide from them. I think that that's... So that I get. But that would never put me in the camp of a favorable view. Now not sympathy. I have sympathy for both. A favorable view of Palestine. If you say, you know what, I don't really have a favorable view of Israel. I think that's a lot of people, and I think that's... You could blame that largely on Israel. And it's fair. But for people to then go, I actually have a favorable view of Palestine under Hamas rule, that's where you know it's propaganda. And by the way, you could also argue propaganda after October 7th doesn't mean that it's dishonest, but they pushed that message out there, which generated sympathy. Everybody does this. Every nation does this. They try and garner sympathy, support as best they can. Everyone uses propaganda to a certain degree. The problem is when the propaganda is based on a lie. The idea that Hamas, that Palestine, its current government in any way is interested in peace or shares more in common with you, a Western Christian. Absolutely not. Now, this brings us to the real threat, discussing propaganda. The views now among Americans toward China up 13 points since 2023. Yes, effectively communist China. All it took was LED lights. COVID China, yeah, COVID China, Uyghur China, banning bibles, depending where you are, China, jailing their own citizens, China, yes, that China. They now rank five points higher than the United States on Gallup's Global Leadership Index. Oh my gosh. And I have seen this from a lot of people on the right. Why can't we build these nice things like China? Well, because our whole country isn't a glorified blaze in Saddles Town with a fake village for visitors. How about that? And there is an active push to not only delegitimize the United States, but destigmatize China's authoritarian communist regime. And it's working. You've encountered this propaganda online. Is it a very Chinese time in your life? Social media uses for adopting habits like drinking hot water, wearing slippers at home, and doing traditional Chinese exercises to become a Chinese baddie. It's all part of China Maxing, a trend where young Westerners are embracing Chinese culture and aesthetics online. People will be like, why do you like living in China? The track suit is Run DMG. This is China. I'm in Chongqing, China. Okay, they look like they're living in 3030. So it's still looks now like we're on the ground floor. How many times does this have to be done? This over here says we're on the 22nd floor. Whoa, Skybridge? It's 10.40 at night right now. I'm walking on the street in Shanghai completely alone. And I feel 100% safe. Because you're bigger than the man. This could never happen in New York City. And there you go a few miles outside the city and people are so poor. The issues. Okay. Here I am. In a field outside of the city. So poor. China is a very, very large country. And the goal of the Chinese government is to serve the Chinese people. Really? Right. So my friends are saying that China is not a human being. China is not a human being. So convenient because she doubles as a picnic table. China is not a human being. China is not a human being. It is a little wild because China is mocking the US so hard that even my Maga father is like, wow, seems like China is really good at building things. He's like, why don't we build stuff like that in this country? Oh gee, I don't know, Dad. Maybe it's because we spend all our money bombing Venezuela. China is now a peer with the United States. At least, almost no matter how you measure it. Really? Well, not in height. Not really. Here's how we can measure it. So for the same reason a lot of these people are praising China, they should be critical. Because on the flip side of that equation, they criticize the United States. The criticism that you hear is we can do all these things as it relates to foreign affairs, but we can't insert entitlement program here. Well, look at all this debt that someone's going to come knock on. We have to pay the bill for foreign wars, a very, very small percentage when you actually look at where our debt comes from. But I shouldn't say very, very small, relatively speaking. But let's use that same standard and apply it to China, assuming it's not just a communist hellhole. Their debt, the GDP, 300%. That's about 123%. 600 million people in China live on $140 a month. Youth unemployment, people talk about that here, Gen Z, 16.5%. That's twice as high as the United States. So any metric that you want to use and claim that this administration is falling short and everyone is the same, well, okay, you'd have to apply that to China and it's even worse. Much more bleak than the influencers who are given talking points want you to understand. Welcome to China's trend where people pay to pretend to have a job. People clock in, they take office selfies, they even go to pretend interviews. And some places literally forbid office romances so the fake workplace won't turn into a K-drama. It's Portland. And I know people say we have homeless here. Yeah, but they're not homeless because they've been boxed out of working for speaking against the government. Happens a lot there. Copycat mass attacks. Somebody has some sort of grievance. They end up taking it out on the complete strangers. And then we have this type of thing of the government trying to stop it from happening. We'll have to stop it. We'll have to stop it. We'll have to stop it. We'll have to stop it. We'll have to stop it. We'll have to stop it. Hello Sarah McLoughlin. Oh, geez. Do you want to go? Perfect. And if it's not enough just to understand what a horrible place it is and it's an ideology that is incompatible with someone who values freedom, the Constitution, Western Christian values. Okay, then let me just bring you to the direct attacks, the direct threats, the direct attempts to subvert. People will point to the USS Liberty. And I'm not going to get into that today, but let's just take everything at face value. Okay, great. Got it. Terrible once. It's like every couple of months with some kind of attack or a biological weapon from China. So if people say we have to excommunicate this one group because we can point to this one example, okay, I'm about to give you like a dozen. I don't even remember as to how many we wrote down. The first one is just funny. It's a jumping off point. Former Indiana University post-doc researcher, Yu Huang Xiang, was sentenced to plead guilty to smuggling, this is a real thing, E. Coli in women's panties, which were by the way promptly ordered in bulk by Katy Perry. That explains it. According to a filing from the Justice Department, the package and question originated originated from Xiang Xu side tech innovation trading and the shipping manifest declared that the package contained quote, underwear of man made fibers, other women's. But let me give you some other examples. March 2026. And let's just hit these so I can rapid fire them. Check all the references. We make them available 11 a.m. Eastern every day. There's a bibliography where the only show that does it. March 2026. Chinese American siblings fled to China after placing IEDs outside of the McDale Air Force base in Tampa Bay. February 2026. Illegal China linked bio lab that was containing human samples was found in Las Vegas. November 2025. Three Chinese nationals that you have ever charged with conspiracy to smuggle biological materials. Also, I should preface this with these people are never acting alone. The spies coming from China. It defies. It's very, very hard to comprehend just how pernicious it is. November 2025. U of M researcher and a Chinese national pled guilty to smuggling crop fungus. October 2024. Five Chinese nationals were charged for spying at Camp Grayling in Michigan. October 2024. Chinese intelligence hacking group Salt Typhoon infiltrated American telecom companies. May 2023. Chinese military hacking group Volt Typhoon found embedded in U.S. critical infrastructure. That's the headline there. March 2023. China linked bio lab housing Ebola. HIV and COVID was found in Reedley, California. January 2023. It's Chicago. Chinese electrical engineering student was convicted for spying for the CCP. Convicted August 2020 UCLA. Mathematics student was arrested for transferring sensitive software to the Chinese military. Then of course you also have them spying on Congress with Fang Fang who Eric's wall while was allegedly banging. You have 96 to 2014 Diane Feinstein's personal driver with a Chinese spy the entire time. Not to mention the often overlooked fact that the global consensus in the scientific community remember trust the science is that COVID came from a lab in Wuhan and not a wet market. And by the way if you said that only a few years ago the pro Chinese big tech companies banned you for being critical. Do you want to apply the standard equally? China's great. I saw a railway. When you fuck off enough. Look their buildings have so many lights. We'll go USS Liberty. Okay great fine. All the time from China. These are only the ones that we've caught. How is this catching on and how it makes you it really does make you wonder how is this gaining traction in the supposed conservative right wing sphere and who's pushing it. Well you know who's pushing it. How is it gaining traction? I see Marxists. I see the same Marxists. They go well China we're trying to oppress them so we're bad. We're the oppressor. China's the oppressed. It fails to take into account their actual oppressing of their own citizens and attempts to destroy your country but propaganda works. Propaganda works and you need to be vigilant. When I started here on YouTube we all thought hey this is great. We're going to be able to circumvent the gatekeepers and legacy media and we were able to. It really is a difficult endeavor to contain misinformation out there and it's not just because anyone can deliver it. We kind of always lived in that situation. It's that so many people now with a shorter attention span are not only willing to are eager to consume it and share it. Not saying you have to be a member of Mensa but you do have to go beyond the headline. And with China start off with what do they believe? What's their goal for the globe and ideally in their perfect world what would happen to the United States? It would cease to exist. So I'm anti-China across the board. That's never changed. Absolutely. The problem is you have to be the filter. You can't just depend on X or Instagram or anybody else to filter this information out. You have to be the filter in this stuff to look at this and go wait a minute wait a minute who is out there talking about this? Oh yeah all these leftist Marxist people are out there doing this. That should be the tell right there. That's it. They're shilling for Iran. They're shilling for China. They're shilling for Russia. Maybe they make some reasonable points about some things. The lights do look good Josh. Lights are fun sometimes. No free speech. No ability to own weapons. The government can come and weld you into your apartment if they deem it necessary. Happened. Maybe not. Maybe that's not the best place to be. If you grew up in an area where you missed your graduation where you had family members who died alone because you couldn't visit them. Where you had to do all of your schooling from home by Zoom. If you're part of the generation that has a record level of mental health afflictions, substance abuse, difficulties navigating social interactions. Just know that that unprecedented level of affliction that your generation is facing, it's China. COVID was China. It was biological warfare. And now some people want to say because they have a nice public transit system, actually we were wrong about this. Come on guys.

Not everybody hates us. It's true. And by that, I mean not even just everybody. I mean, there's so many Americans who hate the United States of America right now. Even people on the... Yeah, when you said good news, I was hoping you were going to say all those people are moving to China. Yeah. That would be great. They're like, I love China. America's like, oh, goodbye then. Right. Thanks for not voting anymore. Yeah. No, they're going to stick around here. And there'll be active tools in subverting the United States. We do have one ally that's been remarkably consistent. And if you were to travel back in time and tell people like 1930s, 1940s, hey, you know, people are going to be most buddy buddy with this Poland. Like, you're bullshitting. Really? They're not just going to be walked over the rest of all times. Like, no, they actually kind of learned their lesson. So Poland actually, their view of the United States, it's a plus 47. Wow. Approval of the United States. Now this also is telling. For those of you who go, oh, China's not the enemy. Look at how they view the United States. Look at the disapproval. And then look at the approval from Poland. Now as it relates to immigration, as it relates to the culture of a society, if you are a traditional Christian or a nationalist, who would you want to emulate?

We actually obtained the lavalier microphone of said robot. Hey pigs, you don't know where a bathroom is, do you? Ah, ah, I'm not going to make it. Ah, gotta shoot, gotta shoot. Maybe there's a facility across this parking lot. I'll take the risk. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, no. Oh, shit. It's done. Marketing is hard. But I'll tell you a little secret. It doesn't have to be.
