Welcome, welcome, Bongino Army. Of course, Vince. Viewers, you are tuning into the lineup. You have Evita, then you have Vince, then you have me, then you have Tim Poole, Russell Brand, Jeremy at the courting. Viva Fry. You don't need to change that dial if your TV is from 1972, but you understand the point. You don't need to spend a dime. You get to continue watching live all day. These are number one shows in their time slots because you choose to tune in. We really appreciate it and it's been a real trip here. Here with rumble. YouTube is dead. Rumble did it. And there's not a whole lot more to say about that. Let me just tell you. Today we have a new Mud Club undercover. An exclusive with a meta. I keep wanting to say Facebook just like I keep wanting to say Twitter. A meta insider who fills us in on how they use the H1B scam to cheat Americans out of good, good paying jobs that should be reserved for Americans as well as pretty much have what are effectively modern indentured servants. And we'll also be talking about today. Well, it's rebuttal day. Jon Stewart on tariffs. He's wrong. John Oliver on trans athletes. He wants to make the case that, hey, this is a culture issue that you have blown out of proportion and then spends 42 minutes gaslighting you into why it's pivotal that we allow biological men to compete in women's sports. Mud Club Undercover in. And two rebuttals. We're pissed now. Let's go.
John Oliver
Anxious, needy, late night host slowly losing her mind without the sounds of laughter and applause.
Steven Crowder
Turn the television on. Usually not off to sleep now. I think my patience is slowly starting to disintegrate. Trevor, no crew. Nasty stuff. Someone can go there. A microphone. It's like they don't even try. Let's not ease it to war. This your f. Let's not ease it to war. We're la. I see all of funny faces. Afraid it could rub off on me Talking about how much I hate Trump. Always hyping of COVID 19 comedies we're fighting for. That's why Mukov will never die. Instead of watching overpaid hats, I just request you subscribe. It's not easy.
John Oliver
Counties that are majority black have 40 times the rate of infections. The answer to all Cuomo's questions is tragically familial. Centuries of racism.
Steven Crowder
All right, I'm gonna do some jokes.
Tim Pool
So excited to be doing the show from my panic room.
Steven Crowder
I mean, I mean, living room.
Tim Pool
Doing the show from My home for two reasons. First, to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Second, so I can write off my real estate tax. That's our monologue, everybody.
Steven Crowder
Trump wants every single one of these checks to have his signature on them.
Jeremy Boring
Which would be the first time he's ever put his name on something helpful.
Steven Crowder
Dumbest thing, he's decided to put his.
Viva Frei
Name on something really dumb. Brilliant.
Steven Crowder
Do you ever think about calling Trump and suggesting ways that he could.
Jeremy Boring
He could do better?
Steven Crowder
Never allowed any crisis. From the Civil War straight through to the pandemic of 17 all the way around 16. We have never, never let our democr. Democracy sakes. Second.
Josh Fierstein
I've never told jokes.
Steven Crowder
I've never just told jokes to myself. I'm not even trying to be funny here.
Josh Fierstein
There's no jokes.
Steven Crowder

Glad to be with you. I'm going to get right into this today because we have a. A new Mud Club undercover exclusive with a. Well, not a whistleblower he didn't know from Meta. Letting you know how H1BS are used to screw the American workers. So I want to make sure that we give that its due. Captain Morgan, CEO. How are you, sir?
Jeremy Boring
Excellent. You?
Steven Crowder
I'm doing well. And Friday and Saturday, May 23rd and 24th at Goodnights Comedy Club in Raleigh, North Carolina. Mr. Josh Fierstein.
Tim Pool
Yes. Please come see me. I need your validation.
Jeremy Boring
Yes.
Tim Pool
I need you to think I'm funny. Yeah, yeah.
Steven Crowder
It's a red flag.
Tim Pool
It is. But that's me. Hey, that's Mr. Red Flag.
Steven Crowder
They call me Mr. Red Flag. Office. Sure, sure. Yeah, yeah. Laughter's validation. Now, before we go to the rebuttal, John Stewart and John Oliver in exhibit A as to why we need the tariffs against the Chinese, there's a new Chinese propaganda video that came out. Just to refresh your memory. Do you guys remember we ran this clip a little while back? This was direct Chinese propaganda and it included characters named Sherlock Holmes and James Pond. Here's just a refresher.
Tim Pool
And what have the Chinese done?
John Oliver
Well, according to this dossier, the National Security Agency was authorized to monitor all phone and Internet use in 193 countries.
Tim Pool
That's by the outrageous.
Steven Crowder
I didn't know China produced ink English language films.
John Oliver
Oh, wait, wait. Good grief. That's not China. We're talking about. That's America.
Tim Pool
Excuse me again.
Steven Crowder
How's it going, James? The name is Pond.
Tim Pool
James Pond.
Steven Crowder
So they're back.
Tim Pool
No.
Steven Crowder
In what I assume is a Godfather parody but proof positive that the Chinese can't act. And it's propaganda video regarding Donald Trump's tariffs. Enjoy the world of entertainment from the Communist Chinese Party.
Captain Morgan
You asked me for a job, but the truth is. But I can't guarantee anything. His job's gone for good. He was either sent far, far away or swallowed bit by bit by machines. By the way.
Steven Crowder
So he sounds like Nathan the retard from south. And she's wearing a retard helmet.
Tim Pool
Is that on backwards yards? I think that's a UN helmet.
John Oliver
We got the most expensive health care system on the planet. But hey, where do we rank in life expectancy tariff?
Steven Crowder
Where do the women rank in life expectancy in China?
John Oliver
And I bought it. I thought other countries would pay for it, but guess what? It's me footing the bail. This is what a hundred dollars can get me now. Who knows how to.
Josh Fierstein
How much it costs to produce this?
Steven Crowder
Prices are going up. But that's the price we pay for a better future.
Captain Morgan
It's that winning. Only that we are doing it with foreign supply chains and for many reasons.
Steven Crowder
Did this guy fellate a rake and then just decided that he was gonna.
John Oliver
I want me to start farming in my backyard so that Chinese people.
Tim Pool
You don't have a backyard.
John Oliver
Pose a national security threat. And Chinese peppers won't threaten our values. Huh?
Captain Morgan
I'm sorry. I can't guarantee anyone anything. He's not even born here, sir.
Steven Crowder
Well, how do you treat migrants?
Jeremy Boring
Understand tariffs are also our art to.
Steven Crowder
Deal with other countries. How art? So are you supply chains expect me.
Tim Pool
To rely on cream send jobs for.
Steven Crowder
R and D and manufacturing.
Jeremy Boring
Sorry, sir.
Steven Crowder
Insulting language is forbidden here.
Jeremy Boring
What's going on?
Tim Pool
You gonna eat that cat next?
Captain Morgan
Nothing. Just a bunch of losers who've forgotten how to revere their godfire. They flipped nearly a century ago. Too bad nobody even cared to read a history book. Sure, they worked for snagging more votes before making the Great Depression even more depressing.
Steven Crowder
Well, your people would read history books, but you burned all of them. Also, he sounds like the retarded guy selling steroids in South Park.
Captain Morgan
Listen, you just take one of these little blue babies three times a day and inject this directly into your bloodstream twice a day before meal.
Steven Crowder
So he.
Tim Pool
That is him.
Steven Crowder
That is him, isn't it?
Tim Pool
Yeah, he's.
Jeremy Boring
He's working American jobs He's done voice work. I love it.
Steven Crowder
And this is the paper tiger that is China. I remember everyone in finance was telling us for the longest if they're going to become this, the next great superpower, if you believe that. And they can't even create student level film quality with the funds from the Communist Chinese Party. All right, you know what? I think we're gonna be able to. We're gonna be able to ride this storm, weather it a little bit as it relates to tariffs. If that's the best that they can come up with, I don't know.
Tim Pool
I wanna see more. You come to me on this the day that my daughter was killed by the state.
Steven Crowder
I'm going to make you an offer. You can't. Tiny shoes. It's just a silly. It's a silly country with silly people. And any Westerner who says that they respect or revere Eastern medicine and tries to point me to some Chinese herbal supplement will be immediately slapped. Let's move on. Wait. Oh, no. What? What? Oh, that, that.
Viva Frei
Shut up, Mimsy. Slapped.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. All right, let's go to Jon Stewart on tariffs. We're going to hit Jon Stewart and John Oliver because the propaganda has really kicked into overdrive. Look, Jon Stewart, he's talking about tariffs. I'm trying to think of how to set this up because pretty much everything he says is wrong. And he kind of encapsulates what we told you would happen regarding the worldview. Just as you watch this, remember, anti American. And that was a term that was thrown around a lot. But I mean it here. So let's first go to the media and see exactly what they are saying so you can see that Jon Stewart is also carrying their water regarding this Donald Trump New World Order. That's how they're describing it, right? Which by the way, was coined by Bush Sr. They're saying he's trying to create a New World Order. No, he's trying to destroy what was the New World Order as far as globalism, global non free trade. And of course, because they don't care about you, the American worker, the American business owner, they are panicking. Here's a media montage starting with Wallace from Wallace and Gromit. Where do you see the balance going forward for the President having a negative cost to this reframing of the world economic order. His longer term plan is to create.
Viva Frei
A New World Order.
Josh Fierstein
How could you possibly do this?
Steven Crowder
How could you go down this path? How could you personally and intentionally destroy a global trading system?
John Oliver
Musk and Trump are actually Destroying our processes. They're actually harming us. They're actually creating fear.
Josh Fierstein
I don't understand how one person can.
Steven Crowder
Destroy something so well. What you have pause.
Tim Pool
Oh my God.
Steven Crowder
You know, someone just looks evil. He looks like if there was a. You know those dinosaurs you get in cereal boxes? If there was a George Soros dinosaur. Before you add water.
Tim Pool
He looks like he's wearing a bald cap on his entire face.
Steven Crowder
He looks like Andrew Clavin playing George Soros.
Tim Pool
He looks like a ball sack is what he looks like.
Steven Crowder
He does. He looks like if you go to the optometrist's office and they put the glasses on that faceless head to showcase the glasses, only the optometrist's office had a fire.
Tim Pool
He looks like an unfinished clone.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. He looks like Freddy Krueger before the accident in his man cave.
Tim Pool
Poor Freddy looks like he washes himself with just lube.
Steven Crowder
Yes.
Tim Pool
Scrubs it on.
Steven Crowder
He looks like he was born at the age of 71. Let's continue an attempt to rip up the not only the global world order, the liberal world order, but to also completely destroy the world economic globalized trading system. Don't get me any harder.
Jeremy Boring
I can't vote for him again.
Steven Crowder
I know. Come on. There's only. Let's go to claim truth and this is Jon Stewart and you can comment below. Would you rather be stuck in an elevator, a non operational elevator with Jon Stewart or John Oliver? I would pick John Stewart is very funny. John Stewart is very good at what he does. Jon Stewart is just. There's something that happens when you are steeped in this. Well your whole life really for him. But I've seen people that go to la, they go to New York and even people who are more right leaning after a few years, boom, they just start parroting the same talking points and there's no self awareness left. Let's go to the first claim that Jon Stewart is making regarding tariffs. That we are blaming everybody else for a system we designed.
Jon Stewart
But we continue to blame everybody else in the world that we designed and policed after World War II. We're the richest country in the world ever.
Steven Crowder
I told you. What did I tell you? And by the way, just because we're the richest country, when you have some people who are insanely wealthy, doesn't mean that you are and doesn't mean that you are not being affected. They don't take that into account. You the American worker who subsidizes the world. But I told you that this was going to be their argument that, well, you can just afford it, right? Being rich doesn't make you moral or immoral. Here's me predicting this. Back then, they say the United States can afford it. When they are saying the United States can afford it, whether it is usaid, whether it is the irs, CIA, FBI, whether it's our spending into NATO, un, whether it's what we send to other nations, whether it's how we are subsidizing these illegal immigrants in this country, what they are really saying when they say the US can afford it is the American worker can afford it. And that includes those who are employees and small business owners. You can afford it. To which Jon Stewart said, you can afford it. That is their argument. You can afford it. Let me ask you, do you feel like you can afford it? 150 to $250 billion a year that you have to pay as a taxpayer, the American for illegal immigrant, do you feel like you can afford it? Germans have free Internet because they haven't paid into NATO, but you have through your tax dollars. Do you feel like you can afford it? You. And this is the problem with class warfare, which you can go back to Bernie Sanders, the idea that someone rich must be inherently bad. Look, just because we can afford it doesn't mean it's right to steal from us. If you live in a good neighborhood and the nicest house on the block with the wealthiest people on the block are incredibly generous. They hand out baked goods, they constantly come over, ask you if you need anything, they give you their old clothes, their hand me downs, they're great. But does it make it right for you to rob their house just because it's the nicest, most expensive one? It's irrelevant. The amount of wealth that I have or Gerald has or Josh has or anyone in this room is completely irrelevant to the morality of your actions. Germany, Mexico, China. Let's continue with his argument on tariffs.
Jon Stewart
We're not the world's victims. If we have inequalities in this country, that's on us. It's not a supply problem. It's not unfair trade. For the most part, it's an investment and distribution problem. It's our fault. And I'm not saying we can't make adjustments and renegotiate things, but it didn't have to be this reckless. You killed the hostage and then went so ransom.
Steven Crowder
Okay, it's a funny joke, but here's the truth. The system has not only outlived its useful purpose. Yes, we are the wealthiest country in the world post World War II. But it's now morphed. It's metastasized. Metastasized? Metastasized. It's cancer. Okay. It's a hard word to say.
Jeremy Boring
It's rough.
Steven Crowder
It's now a cancerous growth. Meaning the rest of the world. Yes. This system was created because we had the Cold War. Right. At that point, the United States would help other economies in exchange for really some kind of guarantee as it relates to international security or influence. It was choose the United States over the Soviets, now the Soviet Union. Before we get to the fact that it no longer exists, let's take into account that that's kind of the reason for some of these agreements. All right? We'll make a sacrifice if you choose the United States over the Soviet Union. But we now find ourselves at the point, or as John Short describes it, we're not the ones being taken advantage of. We now find ourselves at the point where the system designed to keep the Soviets at bay, who were a great threat, is being used for European nations to put tariffs on our energy demand that we spend more money funding the Ukraine war against Russia while they buy their energy from Russia. It's your own fault. Sure. Doesn't I agree with the premise this system is no longer relevant because the Soviet Union no longer exists. Just like Kwanzaa. Come on, everyone. It's Kwanzaa time.
Tim Pool
Let's now it's a time.
Steven Crowder
Screw you for popping that in there.
Tim Pool
Come on, Steven, don't get mad at me.
Steven Crowder
That was the first time I ever hated myself. Well, was as a child. They said, hey, the Christmas special, you want those royalties, you have to sing the Kwanzaa song. I'm like, ah, crap, this is Canada, so I can't shoot myself.
Tim Pool
That was you singing? It sounded like black women.
Steven Crowder
I know. No, I was able to.
Tim Pool
Dude, I didn't know.
Steven Crowder
Like a grasshopper. I can throw my voice. All right.
Jeremy Boring
By the way, we were a pretty rich country before this arrangement was put in place. Also, we're kind of rich to some degree in spite of this ongoing agreement. Like you said, it makes no difference. But what would $20 trillion back into our economy look like this country? Do you think those inequalities might be a little easier to deal with if $20 trillion was here instead of overseas since 2003? That's that differential we talked about yesterday. Yeah. Would that be good? Jon Stewart should just shut up and be happy that we have what we have? No, I don't think so.
Steven Crowder
Here's another key truth, by the way. Right now we're dealing with China. China is not the Soviet Union, okay? The Soviet Union was excluded from that. China is that system. Let me be really clear about what is happening with China, okay? What our trade, what our fiscal deficit means. We buy more goods from China, right? Our deficit is $300 billion. We create more jobs in China than they create here. Since 2001, the United States has lost 4 million jobs to China alone. You, the American worker, you subsidize this system. All references links in the description. To give you an idea how perverse this has become as we sit here and we bitch about tariffs and the catastrophe, even though I believe the S and P closed slightly higher than it opened yesterday. To give you an idea is our. The United States Navy, in protecting cargo ships, literally maintains the communist dictator, the Communist dictatorship of China. I'll go one step further. We have to. We have to fund the navy, which in turn protects Chinese interests. But we have to borrow money to fund the navy from China.
Tim Pool
So you could say they're paying for their own protection. You kind of could, in a way.
Steven Crowder
Good. Good luck calling in the bill. And here's the third key truth that, of course, the left never really even takes into consideration. It's not. It's not the only thing that matters. But at a certain point, when you do, look at the debt which is being driven up through this system. In 1991, we had about a $3.6 trillion debt. Today it's $36 trillion. The interest payments alone are more than the military budget. At what point do you say, hey, hey, hold on, wait a second. The interest payments we're borrowing to fund this military that maintains these foreign adversaries abroad. How much? By the way, we're also spending money into NATO that no one else is spending. They're not. I believe Poland and maybe France are the only two exceptions now that Donald Trump stepped up. So they're not actually funding the military. They're not having to borrow money to protect the rest of the free world. And that's coming from our tax dollars. Oh, yeah. Internet you're giving. Sorry. Germany, you're giving free Internet. And you guys are free socializing, what, 19 weeks paid vacation while you bitch about how the United States is a meritocracy. I agree. The system is broken, and it's broken because of ungrateful brats across the world. We're borrowing money to protect you while you don't even honor the contract.
Tim Pool
$36 trillion. I didn't even know that that amount of money existed.
Jeremy Boring
It does.
Steven Crowder
It doesn't really. Yes, exactly.
Tim Pool
Okay, okay. I don't. I felt dumb for a second.
Steven Crowder
I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
Jeremy Boring
Josh. You see what you do? You just. Just keep adding zeros.
Tim Pool
Is that Chinese monies?
Steven Crowder
No.
Tim Pool
What do they call their money?
Steven Crowder
That's. That's our money. What is Minby, the useless. Yeah, pretty much useless.
Jeremy Boring
Lane's freaking out if I'm wrong.
Steven Crowder
By the way, I know it's not the yen, because that's the. That's the other Asians.
Tim Pool
Well, let's pay them in that.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, let's just. Let's just confuse them. You know what? You know what? Screw it. Let's pay them in pesos. See? See them do some long division without. Without graph calculators.
Jeremy Boring
The funniest name for money is the Vietnamese dong. Yes. It is literally a dong.
Steven Crowder
Yes.
Jeremy Boring
And the dong is down right now.
Tim Pool
Clip that, clip that. The dong is down right now.
Steven Crowder
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You play your card right, my dong will rise. Dong higher, large. Happy improving Dong. We have the most dong. That's right. My dong is thriving.
Jeremy Boring
We must make our dong go up.
Steven Crowder
Dong go up your Don. You have one dong. I have six dong.
Tim Pool
That's my favorite position. Downward dong.
Steven Crowder
By the way. None of this. We're gonna get to John Oliver, too, and the Mugla Mundo Cup. None of this happens without you. Download the Rumble app. Blaze, if you're out there and you want to stay in touch, you only get notifications when we are live. That's the best way to do it. Follow us on Rumble. Download the app. You can cast your tv. It's seamless. Rumble is there now as far as the technology. So let's move on to the next claim, and this one is kind of nuts, but he makes it that the economy is crashing. Okay, I don't even necessarily know that I agree with that premise. By that, I mean I don't. And Trump did it on purpose. The worst three consecutive sessions since 1987.
John Oliver
Even worse than it was during the 2008 financial crisis. Their worst day since June 2020, during the COVID pandemic.
Jon Stewart
Financial destruction not seen since the pandemic. And this time, there's no controversy over.
Steven Crowder
How it all started.
Jon Stewart
There's no wet market.
Steven Crowder
You.
Jon Stewart
Trump released the contagion.
Steven Crowder
It's your lab leak. They don't hear what they're saying. They go, it's the worst that we've seen since 2008. First off, you guys remember 2008. Does it feel like that? Let's be clear. Remember, these are the same people the first term of Donald Trump said that our economy was awful. And they said that it was actually doing really well under Biden. Don't believe your lying eyes and ears. You remember 2008, I hear. Oh, yeah, 2008. How was that created? Oh, the subprime, subprime loan crisis, the housing crisis. We're talking about Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Barney Frank Dodd. Okay, that's right. That was liberal policy. It was orchestrated then he says, the worst since the pandemic. Okay, let me ask you this. Who orchestrated the lockdowns? That's right. Who. Who demanded that we have vaccine mandates?
Tim Pool
Who closed down small businesses?
Steven Crowder
Who kept schools closed for two years?
Jeremy Boring
They voluntarily cratered the economy because old, old, old people were getting sick and dying.
Tim Pool
We know how you feel about that.
Jeremy Boring
Listen, I'm not even going there, but I'm just saying it's so ironic. Like, I can't believe he would do something to the world order and try to turn things over and it's going to throw the economy into a tailspin. It's not even clear that that's actually going to happen. But you did it voluntarily last time with more information on why you shouldn't have done it.
Steven Crowder
Also. Yeah, stock market matters, sure, but it's probably the least valuable metric by gauging a presidency because it goes up over time. Now, you may have some presidencies where depending when someone leaves, if it takes a sharp downturn or a sharp spike. But it's kind of the issue over which the president has the least amount of control. It is one metric that you take into consideration. More important ones, as far as how it affects you, would be things like labor force participation, average household income, for example. We saw that go up by over $4,000 in the first Donald Trump presidency. We saw it go down by $4,000 in the Biden presidency. These numbers matter. The stock market's always gonna have some volatility, especially when you have to correct course because we have a system in which the rest of the world mooches off of you, the American worker. But hey, crashing the economy on purpose. I don't know if you know this. The March jobs report, this was something nobody expected in the media. Came in way above expectations. There's a first in four years.
John Oliver
Diane, we should note that it is not all doom and gloom here. The March jobs report was actually better than expected. 228,000 jobs were added last month, beating economists estimate of 140,000 added jobs.
Steven Crowder
So that affects You. And here's what's funny. Notice how they've moved on. They had just go through your mental Rolodex here. What was the argument all over leftist Reddit on social media when Donald Trump first became president? Right. And he was racking up these wins, the left and they actually coached other leftists. They would say your answer was, how about the price of eggs? How about the price. Notice they moved on from the price of eggs completely to the stock market. It's just a game of whack a mole because egg prices are down 47% since Donald Trump took office. That affects you. So let's just recap this to be clear. People like Jon Stewart and the media, status quo, more money. They want to continue the status quo of the global economic system where they're actually bemoaning the idea that Donald Trump is destroying, according to their words, this New World Order to establish a newer New World Order. They're saying the quiet part out loud. It used to be considered a conspiracy theory if you referred to the New World Order or if you talked about globalism. They are now advocating for globalism now. What does that mean? Okay, we have to borrow from China, a communist dictatorship, to finance our debt and then use that debt to finance our military to protect Chinese shipping while they put tariffs on our goods. Let's look at this system. We subsidize Europe's defense against Russia entirely because they don't spend into NATO while they demand that we spend more of our money. A never ending supply rate. One of our greatest sins was finally pinching that valve, shutting off the tap on money to Ukraine while they put duties and tariffs on fossil fuel exports from the United States and spend more money on Russian energy than they did supporting Ukraine. That's the system. That's the status quo. It's not. Maybe there are some negotiations. This is Jesus Christ flipping over the tables in the temple time at that point. Are you starting to get the picture? Everything I have just said is factually correct. Does that put it in context?
Jeremy Boring
I think it does.
Steven Crowder
Wait, we're borrowing money from China and they can't actually run their globe without our navy.
Jeremy Boring
Do you understand what you're saying? And China is supposed to overtake us at some point and we're supposed to just sleepwalk into a moment where China now has all of the leverage over us and militarily would catch up to us at some point. You really want to play that game? And by the way, there are people out there like Bill Ackman saying, well, Trump should have just done like a 30, 60 or a 90 day pause so that he could negotiate. I'm sorry, he, he said he was going to count to three. He got to three.
Steven Crowder
Yes.
Jeremy Boring
Nobody came to the table. He said these tariffs were coming on April 2. Everybody had advanced warning they were going to be reciprocal tariffs. At least they knew that was going to be bad enough. Did people come to the table and negotiate? No. Well, Trump got to three. The punishment gets implemented. You want to come and negotiate now, fine. It's from a position of strength.
Steven Crowder
Well, some people did. Some people did come to the table, negotiate.
Jeremy Boring
People came to the go.
Steven Crowder
That's fine.
Jeremy Boring
But use the example.
Steven Crowder
We discussed this yesterday. Israel, right? Yeah. Now, Netanyahu came out and said, not only are we going to get rid of our tariffs, he said, because it's the right thing to do, but we're going to eliminate this deficit. We're going to eliminate this trade.
Viva Frei
Yes.
Steven Crowder
We're going to start purchasing more from the United States. Now, they're not a huge economic partner for us, to be clear. The Israelis. But just take that and imagine if 50% of the countries that are facing tariffs took the same approach. You, I guarantee you, I would bet my life you'd be entering an era of the United States, a new golden era, without a doubt, if everyone took that approach. It's the right thing to do. No more tariffs. I don't know how we got to this point with these tariffs. And you know what? Yeah. It's a fair ask. You do a lot for us. We're going to start purchasing from you. Hey, what if the EU just said, okay, you know what? Not only no more tariffs. Yeah. Hey, why wouldn't we purchase the energy from you instead of Russia?
Tim Pool
Yeah. Our greatest enemy.
Steven Crowder
It's a win, win, win, win, win. Now, let's move on to not to be outdone by the insanity, John Oliver. And I told you yesterday, I didn't have time to go to really comb through the whole 42 minutes, but my prediction was right.
Tim Pool
Right.
Steven Crowder
It's basically this is a culture war issue that has been made one by Americans, by fascist people on the right, and then spends 42 minutes making the case for why biological males should be allowed to compete in women's sports because the left just can't help themselves. And no, whenever you fill in that ballot, whenever you pull that lever for a Democrat, you are polling it for exactly this kind of a society. It's time for John Oliver is a.
Viva Frei
P. Ssy, I am a pussy. And that is frankly A wild thing to say. I'm telling you, I am a pussy. Oh, sorry if this is how you found out, but I'm telling you that I am a pussy.
Steven Crowder
God. All right. I told you what he's defending. 42 minutes. 42 minutes on this, which is about twice the length of his average. And we'll see if this gets taken down on YouTube. This is a big reason why we only stream to Rumble now. And by the way, you can join. Click that button right there. Join Rumble Premium. You get everything ad free. You get 100% more content. It's $99 a year, or try it $9.99 a month. But you don't get the mug. Mug Club is now Rumble Premium. Rumble Premium is now Mug Club. You get Dr. Disrespect, Nick DePolo, Mr. Gunzingear, Donald Trump Jr. Russell Brand, all of it. That's what keeps the lights on. So his agency always removes our content.
Jeremy Boring
They do. They don't like us.
Steven Crowder
I don't know why trans athletes. Why are you making it an issue? Said the man who created a 42 minute installment defending it.
Viva Frei
People have strong opinions on this subject. In our post election show, I said there are vanishingly few trans girls competing in high school sports anywhere. And even if there were more trans kids, like all kids, vary in athletic ability and there is no evidence that they pose any threat to safety or fairness.
Steven Crowder
There's plenty.
Viva Frei
I stand by everything said in that episode. But I will concede that this subject is more complicated than people should just use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity.
Steven Crowder
It's not.
Viva Frei
It seems trans participation in sports seems for some reason to be at the center of our politics right now. It felt like tonight might be a good time to talk about it at real length.
Steven Crowder
It's at the center because you spent 42 minutes saying it should be a thing, but it's never been a thing. You prick. You're putting it at the center. Throughout all of human history, it was not at the center. This is what people mean when they say common sense. And I get that. That's a trope. Yeah. Men compete against men, women compete against women.
Jeremy Boring
Done.
Steven Crowder
You thrust it into the center and then blame us for saying, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's that that you put in the center? What? I don't know what you're talking about. Let's go.
Tim Pool
One show a week.
Steven Crowder
I know.
Tim Pool
And 42 minutes an hour long show. 42 minutes of it. On this one topic. Why is it in the center?
Steven Crowder
Or watch my prediction 5 years time at most people can say, yeah, we made a mistake, at least on the sports issue, but they're still going to try and wedge it in there. So let's go through the claims here. First claim that banning trans people in sports is damaging to trans kids.
Viva Frei
The bulk of the damage here is being done to trans kids because one thing we know for sure is that for all kids, the benefits, physiological, social and emotional, of participating in school sports teams and athletics are wide ranging. And to hear trans kids themselves tell it, participation can be especially important to their feeling of community and sense of self.
Steven Crowder
Truth. Allowing them to compete is damaging to women. And indulging these trans delusion is harmful to trans kids themselves. Let's look at those. We'll get to the women in a second. But just trans kids. Hormone blockers can cause irreversible damage. For example, some of them never go through puberty, not to mention the risk of osteoporosis. And of course, as we're going to discover more and more, the more science that comes in cancer, the body tries to close fake vaginas as a permanent wound cavity. Hope you enjoy your glorified dilator, which is really just a dildo. 80% of male to female trans individuals can never achieve sexual climax. To me, it's kind of odd that we allow kids to make decisions regarding their permanent sexual ability even though they don't have the legal right to consent to sex. 42% of trans individuals have attempted suicide. Surgery doesn't even help. And a new study from February of this year showed us that gender surgery was associated with a significantly higher risk of suicidal ideation. He said, and by the way, one other point. You want to look, you're a chick with a dick and you want to go play pickleball at your local rec center. No one cares. We're talking about competitive sports and competitive sports are not about how you feel. This is the extension of the participation trophy of the evening out the scoreboard. Because we took the essence of sports, which are effectively meant to mimic battle in some capacity or war in some capacity. It's supposed to be a meritocracy. We took that essence out and said it's actually just about how you. Just about how you're made to feel with sports. That's not the purpose of sports. Anyone can play recreationally at any point. That's not what we are discussing.
Tim Pool
Or competitively in your respective gender.
Steven Crowder
Very good point.
Tim Pool
When I played high school football, they were begging kids to play. That's the reason I play football is because they're like, we need more kids in the freshman team. Will you play? I was like, I don't even know how to play football right? So I played. Look, if you're a boy, you could play football.
Steven Crowder
Yep.
Tim Pool
No one's stopping you.
Steven Crowder
No one is stopping you. No one's stopping you from playing recreationally. No one's stopping you from playing competitively in your actual biological sex.
Jeremy Boring
Ah, there you go.
Steven Crowder
And by the way, if we're talking about damaging. And now. So they need access to all the things, okay? You got bathrooms, which I disagree with. You got passports at one, which I disagree with. You've got 1900 days, which I disagree with. Is it not enough? Transgender Day of Visibility. Transgender Week of Visibility and Action. Transgender Awareness Week. Transgender Day of Remembrance. Like, they were out there on D Day in the trenches with Mardi Gras beads. There's no holiday for trans in sports yet, but maybe there will be. Let's see. And maybe there will be another holiday that isn't honored. That would make more sense. The commemoration to the Battle of Thermopli.
Tim Pool
Hey, Gerald, I have an idea for next week's Clear commercial.
Steven Crowder
Okay.
Jeremy Boring
It's not one of those, like, Chili's parody songs again, though, right? Because that thing sucked.
Tim Pool
No, it's not another Chili's parody.
Steven Crowder
Okay.
Tim Pool
By the way, I'll have you know my Aunt Heather loved that.
Steven Crowder
Okay.
Tim Pool
She said it was the biggest breath of fresh air that she's had in a long time.
Jeremy Boring
I doubt that, but whatever.
Tim Pool
Well, she smokes. I got an idea for Clear. Okay. You know how Clear starts with an X?
Jeremy Boring
Right?
Tim Pool
Right. And Xerxes starts with an X.
Jeremy Boring
Okay.
Steven Crowder
And you look so good.
Tim Pool
When you played Xerxes for Cultural Appropriation Month, I was thinking that maybe you should dress up like Xerxes again.
Steven Crowder
Yes, absolutely. Oh, my God.
Tim Pool
This is awesome. Okay.
Steven Crowder
Yes. I'm so glad you're on board.
Tim Pool
I'll see you next week.
Jeremy Boring
Okay, that sounds great.
Steven Crowder
Yes.
Jeremy Boring
I gotta hit the gym. Clear, wash your nose. Let's see. Clear, wash your nose. Have a golden nose with Clear. What? Josh.
Steven Crowder
Yeah?
Tim Pool
This is not gonna work. It was better in my head. It was better in my head.
Steven Crowder
Nobody did great, by the way.
Tim Pool
Great job. I think it's just.
Steven Crowder
I think it's just.
Tim Pool
Gerald, do you know how long it takes to look like this head is shaped and everything? I don't think.
Jeremy Boring
I mean, it's Clear. It starts with an X. I'm. Xerxes starts with an X. You said it.
Tim Pool
Sometimes you have an idea, and then we should have asked Stephen about this. I'm sorry.
Jeremy Boring
Are you serious right now? Do you understand?
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Effort.
Tim Pool
Well, we're all going to lunch if you want to join us.
Jeremy Boring
I don't want to join you. I don't want to be paying in gold for I look gay.
Tim Pool
It's the gold standard of nasal cleanliness. Get it? Because of the gold and Gerald and the gold and the. You get it. Shopclear.com and use promo code LWC20 for 20% off. Clear. Wash your nose.
Steven Crowder
That's right. Clear.com. go there. You can read all of the. All the studies that have been published in regards to cold rhinovirus, even Covid, and how effective it is in deactivating it in your nasal cavity. Also, yes, I did say. No, no, no, no, no.
Jeremy Boring
You don't get to do it to yourself.
Steven Crowder
I know it's thermopoly. I know it's thermopoly. Well, because it's one of the few things that I've written to set up the commercial and I could just do it now. Hit me, hit me, hit me.
Jeremy Boring
I just Mother.
Steven Crowder
But every now and then, it would be nice to have something just for me.
Jeremy Boring
You don't have to share.
Steven Crowder
All right, we got a clip because we have the Mud Club undercover to get to. Let's move on to the next claim. John. John Oliver is wrong about everything. To be clear, he tries to argue wrongfully. So it's. Again, it's wordplay, just like Strangio, that actually trans women. They've not taken. They've not taken. 19 not. Sorry. 900 medals. Here you go.
Viva Frei
There's a big number that you tend to hear a lot.
John Oliver
Listen to this. A shocking report from the United nations states. Over 600 female athletes have lost close to 900 medals to transgender opponents.
Viva Frei
We got curious about that number, so we looked at that report, and it turns out, first, it wasn't produced by the un it was submitted to it by a special rapporteur who herself said is finding do not necessarily represent those of the UN Irrelevant. If you go online to the footnote that it cites and click on it, you get sent to this website. She won. Where anyone could submit an instance of a CIS woman losing to a trans woman anywhere in the world, in any competition, big or small. And as if that weren't enough, the way they got to that 900 number has to do with how they counted the wins. Because on the list, one trans woman finishing first, counters three denied male. The logic being the second place finisher should have Come first, the third place finisher should have come second and the fourth place finisher should have come third.
Steven Crowder
Yes, you just described logic. Here's the truth. First off, if you understand how medals work, that's significant. I don't know if you're familiar with Olympic trials, for example, or how scholarships work. Yes, they have taken over 900 medals. But you know what? Okay, that's not good. How about we look at the hundreds of records that have been broken. Let's just take for example, he loves to dunk what he thinks is a dunk on Riley Gaines. Let's look at Lia Thomas. Lia Thomas has top times in the NCAA women's 200 meter and 500 meter. Now, as a man, Lia Thomas would rank 893rd. Wow. In the 200, 501st in the 500. In running, biological male college runners set two records for both the 200 and 300 meter events. Would be ranked 1619 as a man in cycling, a biological male won a woman's championship and set the world record while doing it in weightlifting. The trans powerlifter, I think the name was Ann Andres. Set the Canadian national record for the women's deadlift. 597.5 kilograms. Beat the opponent by over 200 kilograms.
Tim Pool
Oh, that's nothing.
Steven Crowder
It's not even close. And here. Sure, you're right. It's not as many as it could be. Because we haven't allowed this throughout all of human history. That's the only reason. Given enough time, there will be no records in female sports held by actual women. This is one of those things that is so clear. I am. Please comment below if you do. I cannot comprehend why anybody still watches John Oliver.
Viva Frei
It is fun to blame. People just want to play sports with their friends. Just cut your dicks off. What did I do to deserve this? I'm mediocre at best.
Jeremy Boring
Man and his word.
Tim Pool
Identify however you like, pal.
Jeremy Boring
That's right.
Steven Crowder
We can find common ground. Here's the next claim. That batting trans athlete in women's sport is really about not wanting trans people to even exist.
Viva Frei
The opposition comes from a much more toxic place. It is not just about denying trans women the right to play.
Steven Crowder
You're right.
Viva Frei
It's about denying them the right to exist. Like right now, you can basically say anything you want about trans people as long as you tag on in sports after it. I don't think trans women should be allowed. I don't think trans women are women in sports. But it is noticeable. Just how the in sports part can drop off once People feel that permission has been granted.
Steven Crowder
Here's the truth. You know what? I agree. By your logic, it's true. You can't say the things that people actually believe. On YouTube, for example, you can kind of say it if in sports. So allow me to speak freely since we're on Rumble. Thank God for Chris Pavlovsky and our ability to divest from YouTube. I don't think that trans women, meaning men, should be in women's locker rooms. I don't think they should be in women's bathrooms. I don't think they should be in women's gyms. I don't think they should be in women's book clubs. And I don't think they should be in women's sports. I don't think they should be in any women's spaces. And trans women are not women. There you go. And I can give you a bunch of examples of biological males using women's locker rooms to expose themselves, including Leah Thomas, by the way, who's addressed in there. We have examples from 2023 20. Just. You guys can go check the references. If you don't believe me, go and check it out. One more. I also don't think that biological men, trans women, should be in women's prisons, especially not. Yeah, so okay, if that means I don't think they should exist, oh, fine. I'm fine. I also don't think that violent felons who are at risk to the general population should be in the general population in prison. You know, like men who beat the hell out of women being put in a woman's prison. And by the way, again, this is about protecting women. And I'll be clear. I'm making the argument in theory. You can comment. A part of me thinks, Hey, 70 something percent of women. The only demographic who supported this experiment. Enjoy it. The majority of men opposed was largely white women in this country. Well, not largely. Was the only demographic that could affect the outcome that supported it. Enjoy it.
Tim Pool
At some point you gotta let them sleep in the bed they made.
Steven Crowder
That's a part of me feels that way. But of course, this debate is about. And you can comment below if you feel that way. I'm starting to feel that way. More and more this debate is about protecting women. Let's even just go to women in.
Tim Pool
Sports doesn't affect us as much because you don't see any trans men winning any records or no winning competitions. You're not seeing the NFL being infiltrated by women.
Steven Crowder
And it applies to everything. Men in pool competitions aren't threatened by women. Work that one out. 2014, let's go. Some women who've been injured. Fallon Fox, who lived his life as a man, by the way, for very long, then transitioned, beat the shit out of multiple women, including breaking one woman's skull. Good throws and reversals by both miters.
Tim Pool
These girls are getting right into it.
Steven Crowder
Girls.
Tim Pool
Shut up, Fox.
Steven Crowder
Delivering the knees. And that's it.
Tim Pool
Felon Fox. Holy cow.
Steven Crowder
Remember this? North Carolina volleyball player Peyton McNabb was spiked in the face by a trans opponent.
Tim Pool
Even broke the net, it looked like.
Steven Crowder
Yes, and there are plenty of other examples. You can check the references. I don't really need to go through them either. Either you accept reality or you don't at this point. Here's the next claim and this is one that they always try and make. And I really want to laser on this point because this is how they try and trick people who don't have enough time in the day to be informed on all of the micro data points he'll try and tell you. And it's a lie that there is not enough data out there to say that trans athletes even have an advantage.
Viva Frei
We spoke to scientists on all sides of this issue and the one thing they actually agree on, on is that in part because the number of trans athletes is so small, the body of research specifically about them is extremely limited. There are a bunch of studies comparing specific anatomical features like muscle mass in women who transition, but which don't directly speak to their impact on athletic performance. But we were only able to find 12 studies that actually tested trans adult women's physical fitness in a lab or other performance scenario. Eight have a sample size of less than 20 and two are of a single athlete. We have no research about how being trans or undergoing gender affirming treatment impacts athletic performance in teens.
Steven Crowder
Okay, three truths. Truths. First, one, that's by design that there's not enough data. Second truth, there will never be enough data because the third truth is that this is an intellectual fallacy. This is, this is the nirvana fallacy. Ignoring a completely realistic long standing solution like separating male and female sports in favor of an idealized one that can never actually be created and can never actually exist because you won't have enough data and no one actually wants to include the realistic data. Also, at this point, not every sport has the same standards. So that's true, you may not necessarily have as much of an advantage in one. But let me just use like, I don't know, maybe sort of top tier, like top end, where I would Think this is significant? You know the Olympics, you know what's required? Nothing at all for a man to compete in women's sports. I know what you're thinking. Sex change, no hormones, no amumu, no nothing. You just say you're a woman, shave your beard. Jeez, don't even have to do that. Don't even have to do that. So I guess you're right. There can't be enough data if you're just going, well, does the beard offer an advantage? Does a sex. Non sex change? Does the hormone offer? But, but here's something else that we know, and this is really important. You can study something in isolation in a lab, and they'll do that sometimes to try and trick you with data on women's sports. And they'll say something like, well, actually, after you've undergone hormone blockers and after you've undergone hormone replacement therapy, the data shows that their hormone levels are similar. That's not the question. The data shows that hair growth is similar. That's not the question. There are a lot of other facets that are involved as far as recognizing the advantages of a biological male. So in a lab, you see this a lot, by the way, with women. For example, in strength sports, powerlifting, a woman who's doing a squat, just focusing on that can get that number pretty high to a point that it's impressive. Put her on a football field and she will be broken like Dolph Lundgren in Rocky iv. It's not even close. The more variables you add in the real world, the worse it is for women. Let me give you an example of this, and then I'll give you some supporting data. There was a show, fight science or sports Science. And there was a female world boxing, I believe, kickboxing world champion. And this was a whole bunch of feminist bs, this show. Her name was Lucia Riker. They called her Lucille Riker. Sometimes they did the thing where they could punch a dummy and just measure this in a lab, the psi. And they could. Wow. Look, look. So now this proves it. Women are just as good at boxing as men. 922 pounds of force.
Viva Frei
That's over 200 pounds of force more than Moe's punch. And amazingly, Lucia hit just as hard as professional MMA fighter Houston the Assassin.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, the other guys didn't get a running start, by the way. But here's the thing, okay? One punch. If a girl can throw a hook while a man throws a straight run up, wind up. All right, okay, I guess you prove a point there. But hold On a second. Now we're talking about the actual sport of fighting. Let's add bone density. Let's add wingspan. What happens now that you change reaction time? What happens now that you change anaerobic capacity and the ability to maintain power because of your lung capacity? What happens when you add all of this? Well, the good news is in this specific example, the woman who was held out can punch just as strong as a man, fought a man and you guessed it, got the shit kicked out of her. Ah, man.
Tim Pool
It wasn't a one punch fight.
Steven Crowder
Jeez. The science is clear, common sense is clear, we all know it. And John. And it's clear that the left has made this an issue and they want to make it seem as though you've made this an issue. So what does John Oliver do in the face of this? Yeah, he just belittles a basic point. Says something, something, something dumb, silly Christians. We know from scripture and from nature.
Jeremy Boring
That men are men and women are.
Tim Pool
Women and men cannot become women.
Viva Frei
That's right, Mike. As scripture tells us, men are men and women are women. And God is his own son. And some mothers are virgins and some mothers in law are pillars of salt. And some daughters are sex partners and colorful coats are dream tellers. And brothers are murderers, but also brothers are back up husbands for wives and babies can be for splitting in half. And water is wine. And also with you. Sorry. And with your spirit.
Steven Crowder
Or could do that too. Yeah, that's right. You know, all morality is relative. And so you can create a godless vacuum in your home country where you end up with another religion that fills said vacuum and you end up with no go zones where people who are from your own country, your own people you're supposed to be protecting, can no longer visit their own home cities because they are no go zones. And people have child brides and a rape epidemic. You know, I don't know, we could just do that and mock something as silly. I would say you can comment below that modern progressivism is far sillier than the moral ethics taught by modern Christendom.
Jeremy Boring
Also, he didn't address the point.
Steven Crowder
No, he did not address the point. And we're just gonna have to. So you can watch all of his. And I highly recommend that you do, because whenever the left says, oh, we're not really turning this into an issue just like it is for the last election, Kamala Harris. Why I didn't say that males and female prisons should get taxpayer funded sex changes. Here's a clip. Well, don't we all Think, don't we all want to be empathetic? And that's what happens when the data doesn't pan out, when the science doesn't pan out, when the results don't pan out, when it turns out that these pseudo feminists are actually supporting policies that will result in the physical injury of the women they claim to support. What do they do? What do they do? What do they do? It's all one big giant appeal to illogical, irrational emotion.
Viva Frei
If you are someone for whom this is just about the integrity of competition and. And for a lot of the loudest people pushing this, I don't think it is. But if that is the case for you, then I do acknowledge we're going to disagree about some things. But the one thing I'd ask of you is that you recognize the ugliness of how this issue gets discussed and how it's being cynically used by some to advance the eradication of trans people generally. Just to be clear, I'm not happy to watch women experience injury, humiliation, and a loss of sporting opportunities, but that includes trans women and kids.
Steven Crowder
All right, Kate, so what, I'm transphobic? Is this where we are now? I'm transphobic and sports are for everybody. And if I don't support it means I'm transphobic. I'm supporting Genocide wasn't the same thing as it related to women's bathrooms, women's prisons, and by the way, when I used to change my minds and ask people, what is a woman In 2015, 2016, 2017, there are only two genders, which is now policy, guess what people would always say, well, no one's talking about sports. Well, no one's talking about transitioning children. Yeah, I would say, right? People would go, we're talking about adults. So before we cross that bridge, let me make it really clear this doesn't work. John Oliver, to the progressives out there, you're not going to make me feel guilty. Not only do I not think that biological men should compete in women's sports, not only do I think that biological men should not be in women's prisons or restrooms if it means I'm denying the existence and I'm unempathetic because I don't decide to coddle a delusion which firmly plants these people in a 42% attempted suicide demographic fine. I don't acknowledge the existence of the very concept of a trans woman. That's genocide. Well, I guess the comparison to Hitler is quite apt in your view, because that's what I believe. I don't even believe that a grown adult can simply change their gender before we get to sports, before we get to kids. That is my opinion. I make no apologies for it. You can comment below if his guilt trip works on you. This has been John Oliver is a.
Viva Frei
P. I am a pussy. And that is frankly a wild thing to say. I'm telling you, I am a pussy. Oh, sorry if this is how you found out, but I'm telling you that I am a pussy.
Steven Crowder
God. All right, now we're moving on to an exclusive here. And for those of you who are watching and you are not Rumble Premium members, you can continue to tim pool after this. And if you are a Rumble Premium member, you will be able to watch all of this before it's released and disseminated online. This is a Mud Club Undercover exclusive here, and it is entirely supported. We can only do this because of your memberships. This is not something that most sponsors want to touch. This is not something that will ever be permitted to be monetized. And on YouTube, by the way, investigative journalism can be taken down if the person who's being investigated doesn't like it. Investigative journalism is dead on YouTube. So around the new year, a huge debate broke out, including amongst the right on H1B visas and how big tech abuses them and whether we should continue with the system or some people on the right advocated removing the cap completely or if they hurt American workers. So according to the Department of Labor's website, this is how they describe H1B. The H1B program applies to employers seeking to hire non immigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability. I understand it and I get it. You can Google brain drain, read up on that. I understand that as a form of policy. That's not what is happening with this program. So muglub Undercover met with a Meta employee shortly after that debate broke out. And the conversations, the candid ones, were quite illuminating. I want you to watch this again. Just reminding yourself that you, the American worker, you are the one getting screwed. It's time for Mud Club Undercover. Okay, so here's who you're about to meet today. The technical lead of Trust and safety at Meta. Okay, for the past six years. Because what happens with these stories is they'll come out and say, actually, that's just some person you got, some intern. This is the technical lead of Trust and safety at Meta for six years, told our undercover journalist that the H1B system is a scam and intentionally favors foreign applicants over hardworking, educated, skilled American workers, H1B.
John Oliver
Okay, yeah, it was probably that. And so he went to school with. With a lot of them, and apparently they're all getting jobs and he can't get one.
Josh Fierstein
It's a scam. What do you mean, what they do? So the H1B visas, they're. These companies are only supposed to be able to hire people after they've tried to hire US people and have been unsuccessful. In order to, like, get an H1 visa for someone from another country, you have to first put out your job listing to people, American citizens, and say, we couldn't find any qualified American citizens for this job. So we have to get this guy from India and that's why he needs him. But what they do is they just, like, interview a bunch of Americans so that they could pay less for the guy from overseas and they just, oh, we didn't find anyone qualified.
John Oliver
How do you know, though? I don't understand.
Josh Fierstein
I mean, it's like recruiters have talked out, spoke at Rather.
John Oliver
Are these companies, such as Meta, if you see this at work, are they hiring H1B visa recipients and not Americans.
Josh Fierstein
Intentionally given equal footage? They will go for the cheaper H1B employer.
John Oliver
So who's getting prioritized? Americans or immigrants with H1B?
Josh Fierstein
Immigrants with H1B?
Steven Crowder
Most likely.
Josh Fierstein
It gives the employer more control because they can, like, work the employee harder because the employee can't really quit because.
Steven Crowder
Then they have to leave the country. That doesn't sound great.
Jeremy Boring
Sounds like indentured servitude.
Steven Crowder
Now I know what people on the left are going to say. They're going to say, well, it could just be speculation. He works in trust and safety, not recruiting. Fair point. And this gets worse, by the way, the third clip is one that's going to have the hair in the back of your neck probably standing up. As far as not being the recruitment department, lucky for us, Tesser went into the trust and safety side and even discussed special lists for certain content creators.
John Oliver
Oh, what about, like, the Kim Pool or, like, Stephen Crowley?
Josh Fierstein
I mean, I haven't had to deal with any escalations from them personally. Thank God.
John Oliver
Are they on Facebook? Are they. Do they. Are they on this Ben Shapiro? Yeah. Are they all in, like, a special ban list or.
Josh Fierstein
They're all probably on the special list. I think, like, they did it during the Hunter Biden laptop.
John Oliver
Oh, yeah. What about that?
Steven Crowder
Oh, yeah.
John Oliver
You guys censored that?
Josh Fierstein
We censored that.
John Oliver
Why?
Josh Fierstein
