            Chapters

            • 00:00 - 01:00: Introduction and Fiscal Overview The chapter titled "Introduction and Fiscal Overview" provides a grim look at the United States' financial situation. It discusses the national debt, emphasizing that it has reached $36 trillion. In the fiscal year 2024, the government spent $1.8 trillion more than its revenue, and it is projected that, in 2025, the interest on this debt will surpass $1 trillion. The chapter also suggests a focus on investigating waste, fraud, and abuse, using the Corporation for Public Broadcasting as a potential example of misuse of funds.
            • 01:00 - 02:30: Criticism of PBS and NPR The chapter titled 'Criticism of PBS and NPR' addresses concerns about the perceived political and ideological leanings promoted by NPR and PBS. The criticisms include the promotion of LGBTQ values, the narrative of systematic racism, and support for censorship. The argument is made that such content represents an misuse of taxpayer money, suggesting that those who support the content should fund it privately instead.
            • 02:30 - 05:00: Allegations of Propaganda and Radical Content The chapter titled 'Allegations of Propaganda and Radical Content' discusses the financial struggles of an entity and its reliance on fundraising. It mentions the involvement of PBS and NPR in fundraising related to a committee hearing. The focus is on the public interest in deciding whether taxpayer money should continue to support public broadcasting. Concerns are raised about public broadcasting potentially being a vessel for propaganda, and there's an implication that such funding may not persist if these concerns aren't addressed.
            • 05:00 - 07:30: Accusations Against PBS and Video Evidence The chapter discusses allegations against the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (PBS), emphasizing that it no longer fulfills its public service mission. The criticism is that it now caters to a limited, elite audience rather than the broader public. It argues that with modern technology, people can access news from various sources, making the originally intended purpose of PBS outdated. The chapter raises concerns about the continued public funding for an entity perceived as not serving the general populace.
            • 07:30 - 10:00: Historical Examples and Continuing Criticism The chapter discusses the impact of radical content disseminated through state-sponsored media outlets, which is seen as brainwashing American citizens, especially children, with anti-American and anti-family narratives. It highlights the controversy over public funding for media like NPR, which publish articles that question traditional views on biological sex, exemplified by the mention of an NPR article exploring the complexities of sex determination beyond the binary concept of male and female.
            • 10:00 - 12:30: Call for Defunding and Closing Remarks The final chapter, titled "Call for Defunding and Closing Remarks," delves into an analysis of media bias, specifically focusing on the PBS NewsHour's coverage. It highlights a significant skew in airtime, with over 90% dedicated to left-leaning perspectives on gender ideology. Throughout a seven-month evaluation by the Media Research Center, a consistent pattern of imbalance in reporting is asserted. This chapter also alludes to broader issues within media representations, suggesting a prevalence of misinformation and underlying racist narratives in various topics—ranging from crime to nature. The chapter serves as a critical commentary on media responsibility and the need for fair representation across the political spectrum, wrapping up the overall discussion on ideological bias with reflections and recommendations for change.

            • 00:00 - 00:30 iz myself for closing remarks. The United States is $ 36 trillion in debt. In fiscal year 2024, the government spent over 1.8 trillion more than it took in. And in fiscal year 2025, the interest in our debt is expected to exceed $1 trillion. as we continue investigating waste, fraud, and abuse. And we can look no further than the Corporation for Public Broadcasting,
            • 00:30 - 01:00 the LGBTQ indoctrination of our children, the systematic racism narrative, and the support for censorship being pushed by the heads of NPR and PBS are just several of the many abuses of taxpayer dollars. And if you are one of the select few who might support such content, you can personally support and fund it with your own money through private donations. Because the reality is the United States of America
            • 01:00 - 01:30 is broke and can't afford it. And after all, PBS and NPR are already fundraising off of this committee hearing. The American people are closely following along today in this long awaited hearing to hear the case for why Americans hard-earned tax dollars should continue for public broadcasting. I think from what we have heard here today, the American people will not continue to allow such propaganda to be funded through the
            • 01:30 - 02:00 federal government with their hardearned tax dollars. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting that we give over half a billion dollars to no longer serves the public. It serves a narrow audience of wealthy liberal elites who are out of touch with everyday Americans. Not only have the times changed and the American people who once needed these outlets can now access the news anywhere at any time, but the content that is being put
            • 02:00 - 02:30 out through these state sponsored outlets is so radical it is brainwashing the American people and more significantly American children with unamerican, anti-family, pro-rime fake news. The American people do not support their taxpayer dollars going to NPR articles like, "How is sex determined? Scientists say it's complicated." Which discusses how biological sex is not limited to male or
            • 02:30 - 03:00 female? Or another article about how stories on crime are rife with misinformation and racism, or about how birds and trees are racist. Over a seven-month period, the media research center discovered the PBS NewsHour gave over 90% of the airtime to the left on gender ideology stories. 90%. As mentioned earlier, PBS was the outlet that featured the child predator
            • 03:00 - 03:30 drag queen on the education show for kids ages 3 to 8 years old. And to clarify the record, because our witness, Miss Kerrger, lied under oath and said it wasn't featured on PBS, this show was aired on PBS on April 1st, 2021. And we will take a look at this video right now. We're using a TV today because our audio system is having problems. Let's go ahead and watch this video.
            • 03:30 - 04:00 We're start swish blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. The mouth of the dragon goes blah blah blah.
            • 04:00 - 04:30 All through the town, the hips go swish swish swish. The shoulders go shimmy shimmy shimmy. That's repulsive. That's not what children ages 3 to eight should ever be watching. A grown biological man posing as a woman. And by the way, Miss Ker, that was aired
            • 04:30 - 05:00 on April 1st, 2021. And then something happened. It wasn't an accident. And it wasn't just for a brief time that it was up. It was aired April 1st and then somehow it expired May 24th later. Later on, it was taken down. Wonder I wonder why. Wonder why that was taken down. Another egregious example includes back
            • 05:00 - 05:30 in 2010 PBS's Travis Smiley stated that Christians blow up people every single day. Haven't seen that ever happen in my life. And today, if you look on NPR's website, there is still zero mention of any negative coverage of any Democrat today. And trust us, there are more than plenty of examples to pull from. How about a member from this committee making fun of the governor of Texas for
            • 05:30 - 06:00 having a disability and living his life in a wheelchair? Miss Maher. From headlines to podcast to documentaries to children's programming, NPR and PBS have all but abandoned their promise to deliver unbiased, nonpartisan, and fact-based reporting. The American people have woken up to this nonsense and blatant disregard for truth and truth matters and they will not put up with it any longer. Contrary
            • 06:00 - 06:30 to the beliefs of the head of NPR, Miss Maher, truth is not subjective. It's actually very important. And there are not multiple truths. There's just one. For a civilization to exist, objective truth must exist. It must be embraced. It must be protected. It is not a distraction. And despite many attempts to whitewash it, truth will prevail. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is using taxpayer dollars to actively
            • 06:30 - 07:00 suppress the truth, suppress diverse viewpoints, and produce some of the most outlandish, ludicrous content. After listening to what we've heard today, we will be calling for the complete and total defund and dismantling of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Here's how it works in America. Every single day, every single day, private businesses operate on their own without government funding.
            • 07:00 - 07:30 We believe that you all can hate us on your own dime. With that and without objection, all members have five legislative days within which to submit materials and additional written questions for witnesses which will be forwarded to the witnesses. If there is no further business, without objection, the subcommittee stands adjourned.
