hey were independent I would expect they would cover it in all of its elements. They hit every variable so you'd have a good understanding of both sides of that story if they were real news. Let me ask you if you watch MSNBC when they covered USAID did they ever give you the Mike Benz version of the world? You know the one where USAID has never been a real charity. It's always been only, only not…
← Previous segment →to say oh he's not looking into this context or something but that's just dumb. Now he seems smart in general because when he does his comedy it's very clever and so it suggests a high intellect. But do you really think the billionaires stole the money? Does he not know that Mark Zuckerberg wouldn't have any money if he hadn't created Facebook and created tens of thousands of jobs and a tool that's used around the world? How much money would he have? Do they think that Elon Musk would have any money at all if he hadn't created multiple startups that added value to the country? Electric cars that nobody else could build, a spaceship to Mars. He wouldn't have any money if he didn't do those things. What were the poor people going to do it on their own? Let's see the poor people's rocket. Oh wow I guess mean old Elon Musk is hoovering up all the money for the poor people because they were going to build a rocket to Mars. The poor people were. And you know according to Bill Burr now they got shut out. So I guess they can't build their rocket to Mars now. Old mean old Musk just sucked up all the money basically stole it from the poor people.
And you could just go down the list. Which billionaire did not create the wealth that the billionaire has a small part of? And most of these billionaires don't even own the majority of their own companies. You know by the time investors get their part and stuff I don't know what percentage does Zuckerberg control of Facebook? I think he has some kind of voting special shares or something but it's less than half isn't it? So this is a complete lack of understanding how anything works. And yet he's unembarrassed to have a public opinion about it. I went and checked what AI said was his net worth. So according to Perplexity and these net worth numbers are always garbage because nobody really knows what anybody did with their money or what investments they made. That's not public information. But they estimated his net worth of 12 million. He makes a million per Netflix special. Now if he believes that wherever there's wealth that's out of line with the baseline that that's an indication that somebody's stealing money from the poor how does he explain himself? How does he explain that? Does he not understand that when he does a special on Netflix Netflix makes money and a bunch of people get employed to put on the event and then a bunch of people are happy that they watched it and they pay money and the economy improves because Bill Burr made cumulatively 12 million? How does he not get that? Does he think he's also stealing and if he just keeps it up he'll be a billionaire too but he'll be a bad person? How in the world do you come to the opinion the billionaires stole the poor people's money? Now maybe it happens in some country but the only way it happens in this country is if you make some value that's way way more than you're keeping.
All right. So here's Chuck Schumer again being pathetic. And again I think about John Stewart who said in public the other day on one of his shows please please stop sending Chuck Schumer out there because every time they send Chuck Schumer who's like their best guy right now it's so embarrassing to be a Democrat because you're like God no can you send anybody but Chuck Schumer? No not the super villain lady. No can you not AOC? No no they just don't have anybody who isn't embarrassing at this point. There's no non-embarrassing people.
So this is what Chuck Schumer said about DOGE. He said everyone knows there's waste in government. Oh okay so he's agreeing there's waste in government. He goes that they should be cut but DOGE is using a meat ax. DOGE is using a meat ax. And I'm adding it to my list. So my list is generic empty stupid that Democrats say about Trump and Musk. All right here's the list so far. Trump is going to steal my democracy. DOGE is stealing my privacy. Trump is forming a kleptocracy. He's got dark and sinister motives. It's a constitutional crisis. Look at all the chaos. It's chaos. He's a co-president. Musk is not elected. DOGE is a hostile takeover. He's Trump is rewarding Putin. And then DOGE is used as a meat ax. Do you know why Schumer doesn't want to use a meat ax? Too masculine. Yeah the Democrats don't like masculine stuff li

ke a meat ax. Oh that's pretty masculine. Maybe a teaspoon. So I think Chuck would say maybe not the meat ax. How about a teaspoon and make sure your pinky is up. Speaking of masculinity I forgot to brag so I don't want to lose that option today. I told you the story about Clay Travis was at some event. He was on stage and he made the point that the Democrats have a problem with the male vote bec…
