Elijah Schaeffer condemns last night’s BLM-led riots in Philadelphia, where his team documented looting of Metro by T-Mobile, Five Below, and Dollar Tree—targeting cheap items like toilet paper while breaking into banks. He was assaulted by rioters (12 hits) and insists police lost control, framing the violence as ideological rather than racial, warning that victimhood narratives fuel self-destruction. Schaeffer urges support for his organization’s discounted subscription ($30 off via code "Elijah") and reminds listeners of Pennsylvania’s swing-state importance ahead of elections.

you're not surprised, because we've gotten really used to Black Lives Matter and Antifa and all of these mostly peaceful protesters committing atrocities and chaos around the country.
It's really kind of sad that we've accepted this as a new normal.
I mean, right now, I'm standing by, what is this?
I don't even know what I'm standing by.
This is a Metro by T-Mobile phone store.
And people have stolen every single piece of equipment that have come from this place.
Check out some more of these clips from last night of people looting all around from both myself and my producer, Savannah, of the indiscriminate and chaotic looting and ransacking of private businesses.
Now, I know you're looking at me and you're saying, what's different about you?
Did you get a new haircut?
I mean, what is it about my face that's new?
Did I gain a little weight?
Yes, I did.
But that's not exactly what I'm trying to bring up.
You might have noticed this little thing.
It's actually a few things in my mouth.
Last night while I was recording, I was jumped by Black Lives Matter rioters.
And this clip kind of went viral all around the country and sparked a debate over whether or not journalists should do journalism when it comes to exposing the terroristic acts of radical left-wing groups.
now i'm okay and i'm really glad that i was only sort of jumped I was hit about a dozen times, and this isn't the whole story.
We'll get into that on Friday's podcast, but I wanted to give you guys an update.
For instance, these rioters are so foolish.
This is a dollar store right here.
Check this out.
This is a dollar store where they sell dollar items.
And rioters and looters from Black Lives Matter broke into what kind of stores?
Jewelry stores, amazing stores, whatever that might be.
Banana Republic.
I don't know what people buy anymore.
I don't even shop.
It's COVID.
No, they broke into Five Below, where they sell $5 and under items to a dollar super dollar, a dollar tree.
Like, man, if you're going to risk your life, commit violence, and destroy your own city, at least get something better than an off-brand roll of toilet paper and a 25-cent plastic cup.
These were the African-American community destroying their own city, their own neighborhoods.
And this is important to realize, and I always emphasize this.
People like to blame Antiva for everything because they're white.
It's politically correct to put all the blame on white people.
But while white people tend to commit acts of not only vandalism and arson, the black community has a problem with breaking in and looting.
This is both two different ways that they riot, both dangerous, but this is a reminder, as always, that this extremity that we're seeing across our country is not just based off of skin color, but it's an ideology that affects all people who fall prey to it.
You are not a victim, and when you believe you're a victim, you'll destroy your own environment.
You'll destroy your own city.
There's a lot more we're going to show you on Friday's podcast.
