What the evidence supports

Misleading

The government spent $20 million on an Arab Sesame Street program that nobody could find.

The funding supported Ahlan Simsim, a documented Arabic-language educational program for children affected by conflict; describing it as untraceable omitted what the program did.

Misleading

The government spent $8 million making mice transgender.

The grants studied how gender-affirming hormones affected health conditions in mice; they did not seek to change the animals' sex or gender identity.

False

The 2020 presidential election was rigged.

Recounts, audits, court rulings and election-security officials found no fraud capable of changing the certified result.

False

Biden let 21 million people into the United States, including people released from prisons and mental institutions.

The figure far exceeded documented border encounters, which are events rather than unique admissions, and no evidence showed foreign governments emptied institutions into the United States.

Unresolved

Biden signed almost everything with an autopen and multiple unidentified people operated it.

Autopen use is longstanding and legally valid when authorized, but the public record did not establish either the sweeping usage claim or unauthorized operators.

Unresolved

The U.S. Steel partnership would produce no layoffs and many thousands of jobs.

The pledge depended on future corporate behavior and government-approved deal terms; contemporaneous reporting did not provide enough evidence to verify the promised employment outcome.

Transcript audit

3 transcripts located

These full-text records were checked for testable factual claims. A verdict appears above only when corroborating evidence supports one.

Bottom line

This edition distinguishes the documented schedule from conclusions the schedule alone cannot support.
