He highlights the use of USAID funds to censor American speech, a practice they termed "financial turnstile." Schneider also criticizes NPR and PBS for their financial reliance on taxpayer dollars, noting they receive over $550 million annually and misrepresent their funding sources. Additionally, he discusses Wikipedia's bias in editing biographies, particularly JD Vance's, and announced an upcoming report on a new "Axis of Evil" involving Google, Wikipedia, and the Associated Press.
