OK, so in today's video, NPR and PBS has finally been officially defunded. And now the media is saying it's Armageddon. And secondly, a migrant in California was caught running a scheme against ICE officials. And Obama once again puts his foot in his mouth. So we'll get to all these stories in this video, show you what both sides are saying and give you the bottom line. While most of you were sound asleep at 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, Senate Republicans

were busy trying to kick Big Bird out of the nest. Senators voted to cut funding Congress already allocated, including for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds TV and radio stations across the country. It is a win for President Trump, who has claimed NPR and PBS are biased and left leaning and way before Donald Trump, Republicans have been trying to defund public broadcasting for more than 50 years. OK, so we're picking up where we left off yesterday. And we all know that NPR and PBS are definitely biased. As I mentioned yesterday, we all have a bias. and PBS are definitely biased as I mentioned

yesterday. We all have a bias but to what degree is always the question. Anyways the point being is the Senate finally passed the bill so it's gonna happen as President Trump promised. Now there are a couple of things we need to address so you guys know the full picture and of course I'm gonna show you the reactions because they're all claiming that it's Armageddon, is 1% of the NPR's budget comes from federal funding. 15% of PBS budget comes from federal funding. And of course, they direct the federal funds to rural areas. So now they're going to have to rethink their strategy on how to keep the rural areas open by diverting their own funding to those stations, which should have been happening from the beginning,

quite honestly. Now, here is the CEO of NPR and what she had to say this morning. I would start, as I always start by saying, which is we, of course, are a nonpartisan organization and we want to serve and are required to serve the entirety of the American public. We have been working over the course of the past year

under my leadership to ensure that we are listening to that criticism and ensuring we are hearing from audiences who feel as though perhaps our reporting does not serve them or reflect their voices in the way they'd like to hear today. We've invested in enhancements to our editorial process, increasing capacity for local reporters and state-based reporters, regional reporters

to be able to make sure we're lifting up and hearing voices from across the nation. It's our obligation to serve the whole country. It's a commitment that we have. And certainly we are going to keep doing that work in order to both understand those criticisms, but also to ensure that we remain the nonpartisan organization that we are today. All right. So just complete joke because we know they are not nonpartisan. They are partisan. I mean, it's interesting how delusional she is in her reaction.

And one has to ask the question, why is she continuing to speak this way even when she testified in front of Congress and they read her tweets, they read the facts that showed how partisan NPR really is? Well, it's because number one, to admit that would be giving Donald Trump, of course, a win, even though he did get a win here. But two, Democrats live in an alternate reality. They don't believe when they criticize Trump in the way that they do that they are being partisan. They believe they're being neutral and fair. And of course, that is a complete joke.

Now, here's the White House press secretary proving my point about how partisan NPR really is. Take a look. NPR unfortunately has become really just a propaganda voice for the left. Just a few examples for you. In 2020, NPR refused to cover, refused to cover the Hunter Biden laptop scandal in the run-up to the election. They said their assertions don't amount to much, writing, they did not want to waste

the listeners and readers' time on stories that are just pure distractions. That does not sound like an unbiased opinion. That sounds like a partisan opinion to me. And this is a taxpayer-funded organization. In 2018, that same CEO that you're talking about called the president in the Oval Office who nearly 80 million Americans elected, she called him racist, shared a photo of herself

wearing a Biden for president campaign hat, serves on the board of a Soros-funded activist group. In 2020, PBS's White House correspondent at the time characterized President Trump's speech then at Mount Rushmore as a love letter to white resentment promoting the myth of America. In 2017, PBS devoted an entire panel talking about what it means to be woke and white privileged. In 2023, PBS's Washington Week roundtable covered up Joe Biden's clear mental divine. That's actually quite the clip. I would encourage all of you to look at it.

These are not honest news organizations. These are partisan left wing outlets that are funded by the taxpayers. And this administration does not believe it's a good use of the taxpayers time and money. Yeah, she's spot on. It's not a good use of taxpayer money and who decides that to taxpayers. So it's good that President Trump made good on this promise. And my only recommendation from here for people who truly support NPR and

PBS is why don't you advocate for them to only focus on rural area news stations? Don't focus on urban areas. Don't focus on corporate and elite donors. Why don't you focus your entire programming on rural areas and get back to what made you guys so valuable to begin with? That would be my recommendation. No, this is the end of a publicly funded media era. This dates back to the days of black and white television. You know, back in the 60s, Congress saw a value for PBS and NPR, but no more. As a result of this rescission, radio and TV stations will have to lay off staffers and cut back on programming. Some smaller stations will suffer more than bigger stations, right? Popular

shows like Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and Sesame Street aren't going to go away, but they may reach fewer people. These big city stations in metro areas are going to have to rely more on viewer donations. Smaller stations may go off the air entirely. In fact, we've heard in the past few minutes from the head of the corporation for public broadcasting who says, quote, many of those stations will suffer and go off the air. And the biggest fact that they're continuing to leave out why I showed you that

clip is he kind of says it out loud, which is the big metro stations are going to have to rely on viewer donations. They already do that. That's number one. But number two, why do we have metro stations getting most of the funding when people in those areas have multiple sources to get their information from? There's no shortage in the rural areas. I can see why there would be a shortage. So I don't care for metro areas. Focus on rural areas. All right. So let's go to our next story. And this is about illegal aliens who are now faking crimes in order to undermine ice agents.

And one has been caught doing just that in California out of all places. Let's hear more details on that. Now, a migrant in California is charged with staging a fake kidnapping and blaming federal agents or people working with them. Correspondent Matt Finn reporting live on this from LA. Hi Matt. Hi Martha this woman is here illegally a Mexican national she goes by Julie Calderon and the fed say she's being charged with lying to police and conspiracy for this elaborate hoax that the federal investigation says that the federal investigators are not ready to take off the

necklace. The fed say she's being charged with lying to police and conspiracy for this elaborate hoax that they believe was meant to insight even more tension and also possibly make some money. Federal investigators

say a key piece of evidence photos Calderon and her co conspirators had pictures ready stage to make it look like she was in custody with a dirty face, even removing her shoelaces. But the feds say there's at least one glaring error, because she would have been asked to take off the necklace in an official federal photo. The US government says surveillance video helped them crack the case. The feds say this woman lied about being kidnapped by federal agents at a Jack in the box here in LA, taken to San Ysidro to the south and asked to self-deport, but she refused so she was held in a warehouse. But the feds say they caught her roaming free. Okay, I told you these people are lunatics. Now before I go any further, please listen to this special message from today's sponsor,

American financing. I got to ask you a question. What if you could delay your next two mortgage payments? That's right. Imagine putting those two payments in your pocket and finally getting a little breathing room. It's possible when you call American Financing today, if you're feeling stretched by everyday expenses, groceries, gas, bills are piling up, you're not alone.

Most Americans are putting these expenses on their credit cards and there doesn't seem to be a way out. And that's why American Financing can show you how to use your home equity to pay off that debt. You need to call American Financing today before you get to use your home equity to pay off that debt. You need to call American Financing today before you get to a point where you can't make those payments. Their salary-based mortgage consultants are helping homeowners just like you restructure

their loans and consolidate debt, all without upfront fees. And by the way, they're saving customers an average of $800 a month. So all you have to do is call now, 866-890-9392, that's 866-890-9392, or hit the link in the description below. In the Bakersfield area, hundreds of miles north, this scheme went to extremes. A filed police report, a GoFundMe,

even a press conference announcing her disappearance. So in this very parking lot a week ago, ununiformed men in unmarked cars kidnapped Julie. And with her courage and her strength, even though we don't know where Julie is, and we don't know when we will find her, Julie has managed to make two phone calls to the family since she's been kidnapped. The Department of Justice says Calderon was indeed using her iPhone during her alleged disappearance which helped them locate her. She faces a maximum of 10 years if convicted.

The U.S. Attorney here in LA says, quote, dangerous rhetoric that ICE agents are kidnapping illegal migrants is being recklessly peddled by politicians and echoed in the media to inflame the public and discredit our courageous federal agents. We do have calls into that attorney who you saw in that video who is representing this woman and also there are also co-conspirators listed throughout this federal complaint. So we expect there may be more people charged here. Now what actually stands out to me is the statement and a

keyword that says inflame the public. That's exactly what Democrats are doing with the help of mainstream media and the more they inflamed the public the more we see American citizens obstructing ICE agents from doing their jobs. Here is another example that in Sacramento today dirt and ice raid an American citizen was arrested by ICE agents because he slashed their tires and lunged at one of them.

Take a look. As soon as we pulled up to a local Home Depot out here, suspected illegal immigrants started taking off running in all different directions as soon as they saw federal agents that led to several different foot pursuits as agents were chasing them down and arresting them. We ultimately saw about 10 different people being arrested by those federal agents and Border Patrol telling us

that records checks came back on one of the guys already showing that he is an aggravated felon with a prior conviction for fentanyl trafficking. Then take a look at this video. This was a guy who said he was a US citizen fleeing from federal agents after they say he slashed the tires on one of their vehicles.

You'll see him running away. He then gets taken to the ground and he tangles with agents while he's on the ground. It appeared he kind of lunged at one of them. And you'll see the aftermath of that. Take a look at this picture right here. Those federal agents ended up macing that man in his face, took him into custody and took him away. His wife was yelling at agents the whole

time saying he's a U.S. citizen. The agents said too bad. He slashed one of our tires. And then take a look at these photos here. We do have photos of the vehicle that had the tire slashed. There was one puncture mark. It quickly deflated and the agents had to drive out of the area on their rims. Okay. So let me get this straight. We have American citizens slashing tires, okay, in an effort to stop ICE agents from doing their constitutional duty. Okay, tell me how that makes sense. We see at this point, people have to understand that you really have two options if you want to obstruct ICE agents.

Okay, number one, the smart way would be to go to your congressional leader and get them to change the law. Now reality says that Democrats congressional leader and get them to change the law. Now, reality says that Democrats are not in a position to change any laws. In fact, they should have did that when they were in power. So I guess that's not technically going to work. And so what you should probably do is sit in the back and peacefully protest, which is your right to do so or scenario number two, you just go to jail and I hope that person goes to jail.

No one in this country should be obstructing law enforcement officials from doing their job. They put their lives on the line every day, they have sworn an oath, and they have the authority to do what they're doing. The people who believe in open borders, they're trading panic attacks, but they shouldn't be surprised. Illegal immigration is illegal. Duh. President Trump ran on a platform of enforcing the law, and

that's what he is doing. And if you obstruct that, you should have two choices, either change the law or go to jail. And until we start putting these folks in jail, it's going to continue. Yeah, there's no question those people should be held accountable. And that's the only way anyone will ever learn is they have to understand their consequences to their decision making. We all know that. That's a life lesson. I don't understand for the life of me how someone who is emotionally mature, who has

some intelligence would think obstructing ICE officials by slashing their tires is really going to get your point across. You belong in jail if that's what you're dedicating your life to. Now if they're so upset about ICE raids, then they're definitely going to be upset about this next announcement. So as you guys know, a couple months back, President Trump announced Alcatraz prison as a potential location to hold the worst of the worst migrants. And today they had a press conference there, Pam Bondi, Doug Burgum, they were on the ground. And of course, MSDNC had to react. So let's take a look.

The Trump administration is moving ahead with plans to reopen Alcatraz as a federal prison. An idea some critics have dismissed as impossible, in part because of how expensive it would be to repair and retrofit as a complex that frankly was so run down that they closed it and so expensive to operate. 60 years ago, they closed its doors. Before we even get to the politics of this, Madam Speaker, so what's wrong with using a site that already exists? What's wrong with using a site that sixty years ago was shut down because it was too

expensive to run as a prison, that since then has had to meet environmental standards to be part of the national parks of the Gigi Golden Gate National Recreation Area. But the fact is, I've said this is not only stupid, with stiff competition, one of the stupidest initiatives put forth by this administration. It cost a fortune at the same time as they're taking food out of mouths of babies, at the same time as they're kicking millions of people out of healthcare, on the same time as they're taking food out of mouths of babies, at the same time they're kicking millions of people out of healthcare on the same day that we're voting to do tragic things in terms of our relationships with other countries, stopping disease from coming into our own country.

Okay, so did Nancy Pelosi glitch there for a second? I don't know if you guys noticed that. But listen, if President Trump is serious about opening this prison, obviously what would be standing in his way is definitely the environmentalists. That's number one. Number two, you know, Democrats will try to sue to obviously slow this entire thing down. Number three, the cost of this is definitely going to be an issue for the American people on both sides, especially when we've only passed one rescission bill for in regards to Doge cuts. And at the end of the day, is this really feasible? So that all remains to be seen as time will go on. What I actually find more entertaining is not necessarily if he's going

to do this. I find the reaction entertaining because they always look at everything that President Trump is doing as Armageddon. Alcatraz could hold the worst of the worst. It could hold middle-class violent prisoners. It could hold, it could hold illegal aliens. It could hold anything. This, this is a terrific facility. What was your reaction?

Here they go again, right? It's nothing but bad news for Donald Trump between the Epstein files, between economic indicators, prices going up. So in classic Trump fashion, let's distract, right? Let's talk about something else. Alcatraz is not a serious proposal. The cost of bringing that up to minimum standards to serve as a detention facility, you know, we've been hearing from Republicans all year long they want to reduce the federal budget. They're looking for cost savings,

not unnecessary exorbitant costs. How much more it costs, do you know? I'm sure more than millions, probably billions of dollars to bring it up to snuff. So this is just another effort to distract from the horrible news brought to you by the Trump administration. So Alex Padilla says, it's just nothing brought to you by the Trump administration. So Alex Padilla says it's just nothing but bad news from the Trump administration.

I would argue it's nothing but bad news from Democrats because you guys have no solutions. You guys only have complaints and your base is continuing to get more violent as time goes on. So, you know, he has no credibility, as you guys know. Now let's get into some culture stuff, starting with the former president, number know, he has no credibility, as you guys know. Now, let's get into some culture stuff, starting with the former president, number 44, Barack Obama, who went onto a podcast with his wife, finally, I guess this is the first time they were on this podcast together because they haven't been seen together.

And most people think they're already divorced, just not officially. And one of the statements that got everybody's attention during this appearance is what he recommends all men should have in their life. Take a look. And that's one of the things that I think a lot of times boys need is not just exposure to one guy. One dad.

One dad, no matter how good the dad is. Dad is. He can't be everything. He can't be everything. And that boy may need somebody to give the boy some perspective on the dad. Yeah. Right? Yeah. One of the most valuable things I learned as a guy was was I had a gay professor in college. At a time when openly gay folks still weren't out of life. Who became one of my favorite professors and was a great guy and would call me out when I started saying stuff that was ignorant. You need that.

To show empathy and kindness. And by the way, you need that person in your friend group so that if you then have a boy who is gay or non-binary or whatever, they have somebody that they can go, okay, I'm not alone in this. Yeah, so according to the former president, you should have in your friend group, everybody who has some type of label that they identify with, whether it's a carrot, or someone believes they're Santa Claus, or someone believes that they are a girl, but really they're a boy, or someone believes that they are a boy, but they're really a girl, or they don't believe they're a boy or girl, they're non binary.

You see where I'm going with all this? That's first point Second point. This is what happened with Obama and why his legacy in my opinion is stained forever You know when he came into office, he was not about this type of rhetoric But in his second term something changed what that was I have no idea But if I was gonna put something on it, I would say the devil got to him I have no idea. But if I was gonna put something on it, I would say the devil got to him. Because how else do you explain someone

who is against this nonsense, who ran on being against this nonsense, and then switched up when he got to DC? Let's go to what Jesse Waters had to say. Take a look. He saved the party he destroyed, so he's on a manhunt. But there's one problem. The brothers don't listen to him anymore,

so he's trying to transition boys into girls. Barack's got his own rules for men, but these are the rules that made men leave the party in the first place. Barry says, guys, don't always have to be the providers, as long as they talk about their feelings. A lot of male identity and status was tied up with being a provider, having a job, doing a good job, coming home. And when folks started losing jobs because of the industrialization and offshoring, you had a bunch of men suddenly feeling lost because their identity had been so wrapped

up in- One thing. That one thing which was being a provider. And so part of what we have to do is, yeah, as men take responsibility for figuring out how to talk about and share. This is why he booked himself on his wife's podcast, which real men don't do. But he ships all these jobs to China and then wonders why men are looking around like, what are we supposed to do now?

So they're angry, they voted Trump. And then the next thing you know, they say we're waging a war on women, and that men are toxic and the patriarchy is holding everybody down. And so the men just leave the party. I mean, it's so fascinating how people who have gone to Harvard, who are supposed to be so educated can be so stupid in how they think they understand the American citizen, the average working class individual guys, it's not rocket science for whatever reason. And it really doesn't matter.

God designed us in the way that he did, meaning men are supposed to provide. It is in our DNA. We need a purpose. We need to lead. We need to have responsibility. But according to today's standards, men should not be looking for any of that. And that is one of many issues in our society, of course, because you have the rise of feminism

and then you have this whole only fan situation where women are literally making millions of dollars selling their souls. And when you have a situation like that, the only solution is to go back to God and follow the principles that have been laid out in the Bible. Now, some of you guys who follow me,

maybe you're not Christian, you don't care for that stuff, but I tell you what, history has shown that is much more effective than what's happening now. OK, so let's get your guys's reaction in the comments section below to this nonsense. Let's just go ahead and start off with the former president. I mean, I'm sure you guys remember when he ran for president, what he stood for.

But then he goes down this whole road of being woke. I mean, utterly destroyed the working class with his policy decisions, no question. And was not the best representation of the black community for the record, and definitely has not been the best representation for men out there, as you guys can see. So give me your guys's reaction to that. And then this whole NPR and PBS craziness. Finally, they have been defunded. But everybody says it's Armageddon. And now these rural news stations are going to go out of business.

Well, here's something for NPR and PBS. Why don't you divert your funds properly, prioritize them for a change? Give me your thoughts about that as well. And everything else in the comments section below. So last night, it was a late announcement, but the Department of Justice fired Marine Comey. This but the Department of Justice fired Marine Comey. This is the daughter of James Comey.

Now some people believe that timing is interesting given this whole Jeffrey Epstein situation, but for other people like me, I think this is well overdue and the right step towards accountability. So if you missed out on that story, all you have to do is click on that video because it's coming up right now.
