Speaker Time Text
elijah schaffer
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
Baby Trump is, he's going, he's going.
Oh, shoot.
Trump is coming down.
unidentified
I know.
elijah schaffer
We need more helium.
I can help.
I'm for the cause.
This is getting pretty hot.
I'm like, no, you can let me let it.
Oh, you're going to let you go.
unidentified
Fashion media, get a real job!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's that handle?
What's that handle?
Me up.
elijah schaffer
Awesome.
So we're kind of doing a survey out here.
What's your favorite news station?
unidentified
CNN.
elijah schaffer
His foot is getting deflated.
What do you think you would, if you had to describe Donald Trump, how would you describe him?
unidentified
Corrupt.
elijah schaffer
Any key words or anything that like that you might use if we had to say five words to describe him, what would those five words be?
unidentified
Self-interest.
Selfish.
Self-centered?
elijah schaffer
That's pretty good.
Awesome.
And what do you think is probably the best way to describe Donald Trump overall?
unidentified
Oh, just a selfish, greedy, there's so many words that.
I just can't think of them.
elijah schaffer
He's kind of getting deflated, though, a little bit.
unidentified
They said they're coming with more helium.
elijah schaffer
Is it have a leak or something?
unidentified
Helium doesn't last forever.
We brought these.
We filled them up this morning and he's already fading.
Helium just doesn't last forever.
Awesome.
elijah schaffer
And then, so your hat would be the blue wave.
Do you think the blue wave is coming?
unidentified
I'm sure like to hope so.
We need to push back.
This may be our last chance to actually vote.
The way the Republicans are suppressing the Democratic voters.
Democrats don't even know where to vote anymore.
Whoa.
Just watch MSNBC.
Every day is an educational experience.
elijah schaffer
Right, and MSNBC is a very, they're pretty unbiased, very, very reliable.
And so it's like, you know, you're getting your news from MSNBC.
unidentified
Like, take for instance, I watched the Rachel Maddow show.
Oh, great.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, awesome.
unidentified
She doesn't just stand up there and just say some opinion like what you get from Fox News.
I know you see Trump supporters say, well, Trump tells the truth.
No.
No.
When you actually have the court documents that MSNBC gets, you're getting the facts.
elijah schaffer
Right, and MSNBC, like, it's kind of like they cite themselves, but they did get the election predictions wrong, which is one thing they did.
unidentified
When you hear something that's being generated on social media that Clintons are running a sex clinic out of a pizza shop, the logical mind says, well, what's your source?
Well, it turns out the source was Russia.
elijah schaffer
Wow.
unidentified
So there was an incredible social media campaign orchestrated by Russia that did have an incredible impact on the 2016 election.
Did MSNBC see that coming?
Probably not.
They wouldn't have thought that the American public was that gullible, was that stupid to think that that would have swayed an election, but apparently it did.
elijah schaffer
Basically, we're doing a survey today about what your favorite news source is.
unidentified
Well, actually, none of them are worth anything, really.
I guess you'd have to go with like an NBC who has the highest proof rating, where Fox and CNN are both full of lies.
elijah schaffer
Did that man come over there and say something about us?
unidentified
No.
No, no, that I know.
No.
Oh, well, I don't know.
Oh, yeah, the logic guy was like, oh, be careful of them.
They're conservative-based news.
And I live in a conservative-based area.
Both sides are messed up.
Both sides are so fucked up.
Both sides are bootlickers.
You got Democrats that lick the boots, and you got Republicans that lick the boots.
elijah schaffer
Oh, shoot.
Trump is coming down.
I know.
We need more helium.
unidentified
Nobody ever actually talks a real solution, neither side.
A real solution would be something like mandatory minimums for CEOs for corporations like Connagra and Walmart.
You do it three times, you do forfeiture laws.
Now we own this company, so we can actually put them off to the highest bidder.
elijah schaffer
What's like five good words to describe Donald Trump's performance so far?
unidentified
There isn't.
elijah schaffer
So five words to describe him.
unidentified
Somebody that's ruining America.
Yes, all day.
elijah schaffer
Great.
unidentified
Yes, all day.
elijah schaffer
We are very for 10.
unidentified
Yes.
Yes, all 10.
Awesome.
Yes, all 10.
Yes, on 10.
Yes, on 10.
elijah schaffer
We're for yes on it.
unidentified
Yeah, it's up.
My boss said you can't publish what I, the interview.
Okay.
Yeah, so please take that.
Please take that.
elijah schaffer
Got it.
That is an excuse.
unidentified
Sweet.
What good has Donald Trump done?
Can you find it?
elijah schaffer
They're trying to interrupt our interview.
They're trying to interrupt our interview because we're complicated.
unidentified
Yeah, don't worry about it.
Well, like I said, both sides are fascists.
We have an alt-right, which are fascist boxes.
And we have an alt-left, which are fascist boxes.
And we have 60% of the country that's fucked in the middle.
And Donald Trump has a helping.
Hillary Clinton will have help.
Nobody can help.
Brilliant because the voting is dragged.
You got to take back the government.
You got to do the battle of Athens.
This guy is.
How many fucking handle did you have?
Tell him.
Tell New Dragon.
Here, hold on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
That's all dead!
We're afraid of good.
We're fine.
We're just talking.
elijah schaffer
We have a normal conversation.
unidentified
We're having a healthy conversation with him.
And I got the alt-left fucking list.
Let's go.
elijah schaffer
Why shouldn't he talk to us?
unidentified
Because we're trying to.
We're doing work with the balloon right now.
What are you doing?
elijah schaffer
That's very awkward.
unidentified
Very odd.
elijah schaffer
Very odd.
How much of my show have you seen?
Why are they censoring you?
What?
unidentified
I have no idea why they're censoring me.
So when it comes down to this, yes.
Fascist media, get a real job!
elijah schaffer
Fascist media.
unidentified
Fascist media!
Get a real job!
Fascist media!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right.
Thank you, thank you.
elijah schaffer
All right, can we finish our conversation?
unidentified
Can we finish?
Fascist media, get a real job!
Fascist media, get a real job.
elijah schaffer
Do you guys want to have a conversation?
unidentified
Fascist media, get a real job.
elijah schaffer
Do you want to have a conversation?
Would you like to have a conversation?
unidentified
12 Shams Media, get them off!
elijah schaffer
So this is what I'm doing.
unidentified
Fascist media, get a real job.
elijah schaffer
Fascist media.
unidentified
Fascist media, get a real jump.
Fascist media, get a real jump.
Fascist media, get a real job.
Fascist media, get a real jump.
Fascist media, get a real jump.
Fascist media, get a real job.
Fascist, that's good.
That's good.
That's good.
Great, fine.
Great.
elijah schaffer
Yes, I'm 10.
Apparently, to some people, I'm the fascist media, even though I have a cell phone that I'm speaking on.
unidentified
It's very, very good.
elijah schaffer
Interesting.
But actually, the truth is, is I'm one of the few people who's actually getting out of my echo chamber, going to other people's echo chambers and talking to them.
But that's not supposedly a very good thing.
Who knows?
It's very interesting.
unidentified
Come over here for a second, Paul.
elijah schaffer
What?
unidentified
Okay.
elijah schaffer
I vote too.
That's very odd.
Well, that's what happens to me every time.
Can I ask you, what is the socialist alternative?
unidentified
We are a group of people.
elijah schaffer
We're trying to organize a larger working class movement.
unidentified
And so right now we're a political party and we have branches across the country.
elijah schaffer
You know, people are very, I would say, in disagreement in our country, what political system, what economic system we should have in place.
Oh, awesome.
unidentified
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
elijah schaffer
Sorry.
unidentified
Can I go do this?
elijah schaffer
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
unidentified
No worries.
elijah schaffer
Capitalism, gotta stop the socialist conversation to do a capitalist transaction.
unidentified
Yeah, it's good.
Talk to people.
That's why I'm here.
elijah schaffer
Do you mind just quick, why is socialism a better alternative?
unidentified
I'm just saying, yeah, not right now.
Thank you, though.
Okay.
elijah schaffer
Guys, it's like become nearly impossible to talk to people.
I guess when you can't defend your opinions, it's hard to talk about them.
I'm gonna ask you.
So, real fast, what is it that you keep telling people that we are, by the way?
I'm very concerned because you're scaring people away.
What are you telling people about us?
Could you talk to us?
Presumably no.
Don't talk to me if you're secretly a fascist trying to stop the media from reporting.
She didn't talk.
Take a picture.
He's got a good picture going.
I'm smiling.
Hi.
Just gonna pose.
Do you want to talk a little bit about what's going on with Donald Trump?
unidentified
I understand where you come from, and I don't want to talk to you.
elijah schaffer
Did you listen?
Have you seen any of the things we do, or did you just hear what people said?
Because people misunderstand who we are.
unidentified
People said.
elijah schaffer
Right.
I think we have a fair, can I have a fair chance to defend myself?
What do people say about me?
Because they won't even say what they're saying.
Like, they won't tell me what they're saying in other people's ears, and I just want to know what they're saying about me.
unidentified
I'm afraid to say anything because I've been told you take it out of context.
elijah schaffer
By people that have seen what I do or no?
Yes.
Okay, well, I don't do that.
And you could check.
I just put in people's interviews and people just say what they say and they don't like to talk to me.
unidentified
Check before I talk to you.
elijah schaffer
No, it's fine.
I was just saying that if they say that I'm taking it out of context, but the thing of the matter is I don't do that.
And so do you think that maybe there's a fear here of talking to people?
unidentified
That's what he does.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, I mean, I'm not here to tell people how to think.
I'm just here to find out what they think.
unidentified
But I don't think I can trust you.
elijah schaffer
No, I don't blame you, by the way.
If someone came to my ear and told me the very thing that they told you, don't talk to them, take them out of context, I probably, unless I was in media, I would believe them.
But since I work in media and I realize that there's a lot of lies going around and people say things and they don't know what they're talking about, now I know that that's just people fear-mongering because we're very peaceable people.
We're not rude.
unidentified
We're nice.
I don't know if I can believe you.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, I know that's fine.
That's fair.
That's very fair.
unidentified
I'm not going to talk.
elijah schaffer
That's fair.
Well, and that's good.
And I appreciate you giving me a reason not to talk to me rather than just blowing us off.
Thank you so much.
That was good.
Hey, you're writing notes on me.
Did you want my name or anything like that?
unidentified
Tell me your name.
elijah schaffer
Yes.
My name's Elijah.
unidentified
My name's I love you, buddy.
God bless you.
elijah schaffer
Okay, my name's Elijah.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
So, Elijah Schaefer, slightly offensive.
Check us out.
unidentified
Who are you taking notes for?
Huh?
Who are you taking notes?
elijah schaffer
Yeah.
unidentified
What are you recording for?
elijah schaffer
YouTube.
We're very open about what we are.
You're a YouTuber, what's your YouTube channel?
unidentified
No, I don't know about YouTube channel.
Okay.
elijah schaffer
I just get creeped out when people come up to me and write notes on my conversations.
It's kind of like fascists a little bit.
Like to do that kind of stuff and be kind of like stalking like Gestapo.
Very odd.
unidentified
You're a recorder?
elijah schaffer
If you want to have a discussion, we're very open people.
And so if you wanted to ask me any questions, I'd be happy to provide you any information.
We're very public.
Did you want any information?
Anything?
Like in particular?
I'm being serious.
We do interviews all the time.
unidentified
Can you not record me, please?
elijah schaffer
I mean, we're in a public space, but you were writing notes on us, so we're just trying to find out why.
That's all.
unidentified
It's all good, brother.
elijah schaffer
Okay.
unidentified
Have a blessed day.
elijah schaffer
Thank you.
unidentified
God bless.
elijah schaffer
I don't know.
I wouldn't say God bless because I don't know.
This guy's a fascist over here, and he's writing stuff about us.
It's very creepy, very concerning.
But you could also just go to the Wikipedia page and check me out.
You could Google me.
unidentified
You could go to the news, look at us, go to YouTube.
elijah schaffer
We have a sticker.
You're at the name of your college.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, who went to Cal State LA?
It's public records at this point.
you can check me out on wikipedia and find out pretty much anything about me so you know at this point refuse fascism and i have like this like mutual agreement i think we're like we both are at the same events but we just kind of keep our distances from each other for the most part It's kind of beautiful.
It's like when you live in a room with your sibling that you don't like.
Here's some closing thoughts.
You know, it just starts with one person playing telephone, telling people that we're fascists.
And then what happens is that they tell another person not to trust us.
And the lies get bigger and longer and stronger and harder.
And that's how misinformation causes problems.
With people that are saying they're against Russian interference, there's no greater interference than their own, where they come out and they give each other alternative facts as always in an attempt to silence people who disagree with them.
Here's slightly offensive, we don't take people out of context.
We put people in context, showing people where they are, what they do, and how they speak.
But the funny thing is, in all of this is that, truthfully speaking, most people in the world, and especially here in the political left, don't really know what they're talking about.
And we are not afraid to show that because the truth will always set you free.
We love you guys, and we thank you so much for continuing to support us despite the hatred, despite the animosity, the violence, and often very much times the persecution that we receive for their views, both politically and spiritually.
Please continue to support us and watch us.
Shoot us some money if you want to on PayPal or become a monthly supporter on Patreon.
And we look forward to continuing this fight against the darkness.
