They DESTROYED His Life. What Happens Next? | Guests: Josh Lekach & Savanah Hernandez | Ep 237

Imagine waking up tomorrow morning and finding out that you've been fired?

That's what happened to Josh Lekach who was banned by Patreon and had his entire livelihood taken away without warning and with no way to talk to his supporters, all while in a foreign country away from his wife and newly born son. Stuck in one of the most difficult decisions imaginable, this is his story and thoughts on how we plan to fight back in this war for our freedoms.Show more SOB'S UNITE!!!!

Speaker Time Text
elijah schaffer
I don't do a lot of episodes like this, but I am genuinely concerned.
Not just the kind of concern like maybe you forgot to get your food out of the microwave and now it's cold and you got to add an extra 30 seconds or the kind of concern where you left to go to the mall and you realized you left your six-month-old kid at home and spent eight hours and not that that happened to me.
But this is the kind of concern that is really hurting my heart and genuinely brings me to a point of asking myself, how much longer do we take the abuse from the world before we actually do something about it?
How long do we live our lives being persecuted by people who hate us, playing by their rules and their game before we fight back?
Of course, you can't call for violence.
Can't do anything effective.
Maybe we make more transgenders a part of our movement.
unidentified
I don't know.
elijah schaffer
That might be the answer.
Or perhaps we double down.
My guests on the show today are Josh LaCash from the Wrong Opinion podcast.
I wish we were here on better terms in Washington, D.C. Welcome to Slightly Offensive for the first time.
josh lekach
Thank you.
I'm happy to be here.
And that's how it was originally supposed to be.
We planned this.
And coincidentally, I get banned off of Patreon two days ago, an hour after appearing on Harrison Smith's show on Infowars.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
And what's weird, we were supposed to meet in Dallas specifically.
Now we are, I don't know, I forget, they were in the White House basement, which is pretty interesting.
I don't know how they let me in.
josh lekach
Yeah, this is the set that Joe Biden uses for his fake news conferences.
It's pretty cool we're here.
I mean, the security was pretty lax.
elijah schaffer
So I just go, how did you get in?
I go, I got in the way Joe Biden does.
It's like, I'm sorry, who are you here with?
Or what?
josh lekach
Papa Joe let us.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, and I went.
I went, I just mumbled and then they let me in.
They're like, oh, dude, literally all you need to do to get in the White House, prove that you're part of the administration is A, do not make any sense.
B, mumble.
And C, look like you don't know where you are.
And that's why I have somebody else who, I don't know how you got in here.
Savannah Hernandez from the Rapid Fire podcast.
Welcome back to Slightly Offensive.
I'm glad that you're finally famous enough to get on the show.
savanah hernandez
I know.
Thank you so much for having me.
And also, I was wondering who that dementia patient wandering around was.
I didn't realize it was the president of this country.
I actually thought we were in a hospital.
But I guess we're in the White House basement.
elijah schaffer
Literally, literally, this is not a joke.
We actually tried to go to a hospital to visit my aunt who's sick.
We literally typed in dementia hospital DC, led us to the White House.
Not a lie.
Definitely true.
Very weird.
But genuinely, I want to, I mean, I mean, so we're here and we got to talk about this.
But it's not just our country who's getting effed over.
I mean, I mean, this is a pretty intense thing.
If you guys are listening, if you are watching, remember this is an audio-only podcast.
And I want to remind you guys to subscribe and leave a five-star review.
You might have it read on the show.
On that note, welcome back to Slightly Offensive.
This is the best worst show on Blaze TV.
We don't have Confetti of Color today because unfortunately, the White House doesn't have the budget for the graphics package that we use at Blaze.
They've spent all the money on booster shots.
Bad investment.
Should have gone with 8K graphics.
savanah hernandez
So we're doing it.
Honestly, too, if there's COC not blasting in my face, I don't know if I can do this show.
I come on this show for the cock in my face.
elijah schaffer
I would say, Kamala Harris.
savanah hernandez
COC, confetti of color.
elijah schaffer
Confetti of color.
It's an inclusive way to sell it.
savanah hernandez
Please get your head out of the gutter.
What is wrong with you?
elijah schaffer
Christian, can you stop thinking like that?
josh lekach
I'm a Jew.
elijah schaffer
Okay.
savanah hernandez
Makes sense.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, but you must be really into that stuff.
josh lekach
Yeah, I know.
There's many things to say about the Jews.
unidentified
I'll tell you, starting our podcast, Aleja's the biggest fan of the Jews.
He really is.
savanah hernandez
He actually is.
josh lekach
No, he is.
You have a shirt underneath that nice sweater you have that says biggest Jew fan.
I love Jews.
Not sarcastic.
Not sarcastic.
In parentheses, I love the Jews.
elijah schaffer
No, but it's genuinely true.
We usually have COC.
I was going to say, Kamala Harris has got the maximum COC interface.
It's how you become vice president.
You guys always wonder why we give you confetti of color.
We're trying to get you to the executive branch of the government.
It worked for Kamala.
All you got to do is get on your knees and you can be as successful as her as well.
josh lekach
Yeah, if you identify as a female.
savanah hernandez
Yeah, it also helps to be black and a woman.
We're just brown.
josh lekach
I don't even know what she is.
savanah hernandez
She's just brown.
josh lekach
I'm as brown as she is right now.
savanah hernandez
Yeah, I would say so.
We're about Kamala Brown.
Yeah.
We could run for VP.
I could run for VP.
I mean, you're a man, so you're kind of.
josh lekach
My name is Leah LaCash, and I'm a trans woman.
elijah schaffer
You should be on the Supreme Court.
I nominate you for the Supreme Court.
savanah hernandez
I'm really proud of you for coming out on this show.
josh lekach
I wanted to come here and come out and be proud of who I've always been for the past 10 minutes.
This is just who I am.
elijah schaffer
Josh, I'm going to tell you what.
It's really hard for me to pick my favorite Jew in the world because I love them all so much.
But I got to say this, that you probably, if anything, are probably at the top of my list of people.
And I got to say this, being a trans person and having that identity, I just want to say, I don't even want to nominate you for one position.
I want to nominate you as women.
Now, just generally, replacing not just a woman or women's sports, but the category of females is now Josh Lacache.
josh lekach
Yeah, hopefully now people can take women seriously now that I am one.
elijah schaffer
So, you know, I don't know if that's possible.
savanah hernandez
See, I am no longer identifying as female.
I now identify as Josh.
That's it.
You're a gender now.
You're an entire brain.
josh lekach
You can't do that.
That was taken.
elijah schaffer
I'm really glad you quit the show to do this with your career.
It looks like it's doing, looks like it's going well for you.
savanah hernandez
I'm so glad we started the show off seriously.
elijah schaffer
I'm really glad too.
This is a serious podcast, though.
And I do want to say, you know, a huge thanks to our sponsor for today's show.
Obviously, being out here in DC, we're doing a lot of traveling and we're getting on airplanes running around.
And the last thing you want to worry about is, of course, your boxers writing up.
You don't want them to wear down.
You want them to stay dry.
And of course, you want to make sure you're supporting a company that likes you.
You want to be the fruit of the loom.
You don't want to be a fruit, do you?
You don't want to have a rainbow waistband, pack it with a sock to look cool.
And you actually want to be someone who cares about what's down there, giving the best support possible, that it's battle-tested.
And from a company that loves America and the show.
By the way, when other companies abandoned this show, the owner of the structure wrote me a personal letter and said he supported us in all of our free speech and our rights.
And that's why I trust Under Attack boxers because they're the highest quality possible.
They look good.
They come in a select different colors.
You got the hunter green, you have the black, and a variety of others that are all masculine, look good.
But of course, they feel the best and that's what matters.
And your wife, your girlfriend, or whoever should not be seeing them unless you're married.
But if you are married and they look at them, I'm just going to say Kez loves the way they look and they turn her on.
So that's an added bonus.
But most importantly for you, if you look at yourself, I cannot guarantee this.
You might turn yourself on.
It looks so good.
They give the support where I need it most and they don't wear down.
They don't pill.
They don't have any issues with tearing or stretching or losing the elasticity.
They actually have the perfect fit, which I can't say about any other boxers.

Yeah, so we need to jump right into this and talk about everything that's going on here.
Of course, we've been together on better times.
First of all, you and I have been friends for a little while.
The last time we were actually together was in LA at my going away party, which, by the way, remember when the police came because of the COVID laws?
That was early, early 2020.
josh lekach
Well, it was for our protection.
And I didn't get COVID.
And I think it's because the cops came that day.
So they really did, you know, protect me from.
savanah hernandez
Did the cops come in like shooting all the COVIDs in the air?
That's they protected you.
josh lekach
Yeah, they did do that.
They can see it.
They can see the germs.
And we were surrounded.
We didn't even know because it was the invisible enemy at the time and we didn't know.
And they did protect us.
I didn't get sick.
So thank you.
You know, I backed the blue.
I backed the blue.
elijah schaffer
You know me.
I mean, no one backs the blue more than me as well.
unidentified
No, no, no.
josh lekach
I'm more than you.
elijah schaffer
I'm the biggest supporter.
josh lekach
I'm more than you.
elijah schaffer
No, but literally, we were having a going-away party in LA.
People don't know this.
This was early 2020, and we had a pool party.
And somebody, this really ugly fat chick, ugly fat Mexican woman was at the time.
josh lekach
That's a hard M.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, Mexican.
She was at the top and she looked down upon us, called the police, and she was telling us that we were breaking the law by having a party during COVID.
And the cops came, and what they said, they were like, there's no such thing as a COVID law, but we had to show up because she said that you guys were putting her in danger.
I was like, ma'am, your BMI has put you in danger for the last 12 years.
josh lekach
She was like super far away.
savanah hernandez
Well, the COVIDs can fly up.
They actually, it's like, you know how to do it.
The COVIDs rise.
So it's kind of horrific that you guys did that and you put the entire state of California at risk.
So selfish, truly.
josh lekach
That's that's all the problems in California originated from that party.
I mean, the homelessness, the terrible roads, the you guys destroyed California.
unidentified
Yeah.
josh lekach
And then you know what's crazy is we both left after that.
We dropped a grenade and we both left.
elijah schaffer
No, it's genuinely true.
I'm saying this woman was on the third floor.
Her BMI was at the top of the skyscraper.
I'm telling you, she needs help.
Let's wait.
That's how you can save yourself from COVID.
But it was a weird time and we haven't been around for a while.
You've moved to Costa Rica and we got to talk about this.
So you have this podcast, The Wrong Opinion, which I believe is the right opinion.
And it's pretty fundamentally crazy that you have to make a podcast in 2022 that is called wrong opinion in the fact that your opinions can be wrong.
And we're living in an era where just your personal thought process can be considered an objectively false statement and can get fact-checked.
josh lekach
Yeah, we're, but that's the thing that it keeps us on our toes.
You know, I think that we are better because of their insanity.
You know, their rules make us better.
Oddly, it makes us better.
And we're the only ones really building anything, you know.
So they shut me down.
They kicked me out of Patreon, which it took two years to build, 725 subscribers, $4,000 a month.
All gone.
I have to rebuild that.
But the thing is, is that when that happened, I wasn't scrambling.
I mean, I was scrambling, but I wasn't panicking.
There's a big difference.
And I knew that I built it once, I could do it again, and I'll maybe even do it better.
And that's not the mentality of people on the left.
People on the left have, they're losers.
They are losers.
And their only way to get to the top is by tearing other people down and being losers and being rewarded for being losers.
Like we have to respect them for being fat or being ugly or not really making anything.
I mean, if you even look at it in court in the corporate culture, HR is that mentality.
That's what HR is.
It's a cancer within a corporation.
And we have that HR mentality basically within our own country right now that is massive cancer within our own country.
So we're the only ones really fighting back and building things if you think about it.
elijah schaffer
Yeah.
And I genuinely want to speak my concern here for people that are listening and they're watching.
Imagine if you woke up today and you lost your job without warning, without precedent.
And maybe you did because, you know, there are people that watch this show, and that might be you.
That you were given an ultimatum.
You get the jab or you lose your job.
And a lot of you guys stood valiantly and now you do not have work.
You had to find other work.
And you know what that's like?
You did have a warning.
You had a date.
But what's really interesting about the censorship game is I know that you have this, your podcast, which is great, by the way.
It is fundamentally awesome.
And you've done your best to even stay off of big tech companies per se in order to avoid censorship, keep things behind a paywall, make sure people know what they're getting around.
It is so criminal these days.
And you were on Patreon, which is a way for people to access your content.
I want to remind you on Patreon, you can literally show your vagina.
You can stick things up your butt, and it is considered not against their policies or their guidelines.
You can like literally upload porn to Patreon, and it's totally okay.
I promise you this, not from experience, but also, don't look at my page.
Don't not go patreon.com/slash Elijah's butthole.
But no, but I know that this is true.
I used to have a Patreon.
And from my understanding, you woke up and this is where your show was hosted.
Everything was there.
And Patreon just said, hey, we've deleted your entire income.
We've taken away your entire way you support your family.
We've taken away everything you've worked to build because you violated their hate speech policy.
josh lekach
Yeah, very vague.
elijah schaffer
But what did they say?
Is this another tech thing?
Did they say what you violated or what happened?
josh lekach
No, they did a thorough investigation, they said.
And I don't, again, I don't think it was, it was a coincidence that it happened an hour after appearing on Harrison Smith's show, where I actually did say, hey, guys, subscribe to my Patreon.
I know it's an evil corporation.
I know it's evil, but they all are.
So just, you know, if you can, support me.
And they kept plugging it.
They plugged it in that whole hour.
They probably 20 times it kept appearing on the screen.
So I guarantee you they have haters there.
And I was mass reported because I never ever got a warning in two years, two years being on Patreon from them.
That's why I thought I was okay.
And I thought, eh, I'm kind of small, you know, 725 people.
It's not that much.
And 99% of my content is behind the paywall.
So it's really only people who really want to watch it that are subscribing.
So I thought I was safe.
And maybe that was naive or maybe that was dumb or both.
But like I said, I never had any issues with them.
And I should have seen it coming.
But look, it's fine.
I think I'll come back better than ever.
It's making me sharper.
I feel stronger in a weird way because you guys care.
You know, they invited me back on Infowars yesterday.
So what I do like about the conservative community is that we can disagree on things.
But for the most part, if you're not like an evil person, people will want to support you.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, I think you're more well-received than you understand by people, especially on the right.
It's like people go, well, where does Sam hide?
Well, everyone loves Sam Hyde and we do love you as well.
And I want to talk about this idea that you were not, you know, afraid and you didn't have fear when you lost your income.
Because if people don't get this, we are in a stage where basically in order to not compromise, you are forced to lose opportunities, money.
You are forced to lose reputation.
We are all in a position right now.
And this is why I'm concerned to where we don't have a choice in our lives to really stay silent anymore.
If you're awake, if you're watching this show, then you are awake and you completely understand what's on the line right now.
And we can't be silent anymore.
There are lots of people asleep.
And you know what?
They may never wake up.
And we don't expect the weak in our society and those that are asleep to fight the battles for us.
We have to fight for ourselves.
And I want to talk about what it's like to actually face these decisions courageously because there are people that are listening.
There are people that know people right now who are like, hey, I might lose my job if I don't compromise.
I might lose my income.
I have to stand up.
I got to speak up.
And Savannah, you know this.
You were just talking about this idea of the fact that the left constantly fails upwards.
They always fail upwards.
And you see this constantly.
Like Stacey Abrams, who failed gubernatorial candidate.
savanah hernandez
Look at Kamala Harris right now.
elijah schaffer
Yes.
Literally, literally, she goes upwards from the knees to the highest branch in the office.
She literally is there.
And I'm saying this: even if you fail, if you get convicted as a pedophile, anything, you suddenly get a tenured position at Yale University.
savanah hernandez
Suddenly, your Supreme Court nominates me.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, you don't know what a woman is?
Why don't you run the highest court in the land?
And we, as we succeed, we literally get punished.
And I don't mean that just in the media because I'm not being hyperbolic or just niche here.
Literally, in your job, it doesn't matter if you served as a police officer, as a firefighter throughout all of COVID, if you were a frontline worker, necessary worker, which is bullshit to begin with, at a grocery store.
You know, once you didn't get the job, once you didn't do what they said that you should do, they just decide that they're going to do away with you until you compromise and you capitulate.
And you just did an amazing thing recently, which we talked about in the last show, of actually going out and exposing the BS behind Leah Thomas, the swimmer, and the manhands that's actually abusing women.
And the reward you get for that is you lose one of your biggest platforms, Twitter.
savanah hernandez
Yeah, exactly.
And I was actually, so I hopped back onto Twitter and I was just looking up my name just to kind of see if there were, you know, liberal accounts because they were targeting me.
And that's why my Twitter account was taken down.
I want to go back to your point, Josh, about how Infowars is plugging your Patreon and then it got taken down.
So with a lot of these leftists, with a lot of these liberals, their entire life is watching shows just like this one, sitting there every single day and harassing us, targeting us, and taking down our footage, taking down our hard work, taking down our entire career.
And why is that?
It's just like you said, Josh.
They're pathetic.
They're losers and they're failures.
They're intimidated by us because they cannot create anything original.
So all they can do is come in and destroy, just like they destroyed this country, just like they've destroyed all of these social media platforms.
I mean, take your pick with what we're living through right now.
And that's what it is.
We are winning.
And I think the reason why we have to be censored too is because when we expose these things, when you talk on your podcast about the wrong opinion, right?
The majority actually agrees with that.
It is a very small but loud minority in this country that is saying that men are women, that racism is running rampant, and white supremacy is the biggest issue in America.
It's a very, very small minority.
But again, they are elevated by the media, by corporations, by big tech.
And that's why they seem like the majority.
That's why this country is where it is right now because we're constantly being censored and silenced.
So again, just another tactic and way that this entire country is crumbling from the inside, being Trojan horse to how we've been infiltrated essentially by these socialists and communists, and they're allowed to come in and destroy everything.
It's crazy.
josh lekach
Yeah, those tactics, you know, that the loud minority use with their giant apparatus and tech and media and entertainment, it's basically what the COVID lockdowns were.
It's meant to make us feel alone and isolated and weird.
You know, they want you to feel weird for having traditional values or conservative politics.
savanah hernandez
For not wanting to eat bugs and live in a pod.
josh lekach
Yeah, yeah.
They want to normalize the abnormal.
I mean, that's literally what they do with everything.
The trans thing isn't an accident and it's being heavily publicized and pushed, especially on the youth, because it's part of the same thing.
It's all of that stuff is connected.
Like eating meat and working out.
They want you to feel weird for doing that.
savanah hernandez
Did you see the NBC News article that said that's an inherently right-wing thing?
josh lekach
Yeah.
And those kinds of articles come out every month or so.
It's just that they all trade off like who's going to publish it or not.
But one of those places always puts out that kind of article, kind of like how every month there's an article about how masturbation is good and watching porn is good and all that.
No, sex is good with someone you love, like with someone you have a real relationship with.
And, you know, they don't want you to build anything of substance.
And I mean, that's kind of like the whole thing, like living in a pod and eating bugs.
None of that is something you can pass down to your kids.
Like, they don't want you to have, they want you to just be a consumer, you know, like those fat people in WAL-I, which I don't like referencing Pixar movies or anything like that, but that one's pretty spot on.
That's exactly what they're trying to do.
They don't want you happy and they don't want you healthy.
If they did, they wouldn't have done anything that they've been doing for the past couple of years.
savanah hernandez
They wouldn't be crapping on eating meat every day and then saying, you know, it leads to high cholesterol.
They wouldn't have been attacking butter and then pushing us to eat all of these seed oils and everything.
They want us subservient.
They want us unhealthy.
They want us dumbed down so we're not thinking clearly and understanding what's actually going on right now.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, I was going to say, like you said, with Pixar even being gone, I loved how the top news.
I got an alert on my phone.
I have Apple News, like breaking news.
Raven Simone, which I was like, I don't know this name, is walking out of work because of Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill, which obviously no one even read the bill.
And I went Raven Simone.
Oh, I'm like, okay, so some like fat black lesbian with cornrows that wears a mask in work, loser.
I don't even understand what the poor, like, you don't, you're just a picture with a mask.
What a loser.
And she's, she's there.
And it's like, I'm supposed to somehow think that Florida's direction on homosexuality being shoved into children's faces by state employees being banned and that not being something that should be, you know, left up to the state, but to the parents, I should change my perspective on that because, as Jesse Lee Peterson would say, a fable à lesbian, with Corn Row, not with the fro, but with Cornwrow is against it.
And it's like such a backwards thing.
Like, who in the country cares about this, this woman's opinion?
I don't.
And that's how dumb they think we are.
And that's how stupid they are.
They're like, Raven Simone cares.
I didn't, I thought Raven Simone died of a fentanyl overdose.
unidentified
Stop.
elijah schaffer
No, I'm just saying.
savanah hernandez
I have to butt in on this one, though.
I have to butt in on this because I was reading an article about the Don't Say Gay Bill, right?
Because Disney employees were supposed to stage a huge walkout about it.
So I'm reading this article and they don't provide any links to photos or videos.
And they just go, yeah, you know, the parking lot was empty, but it's because employees were just like at home and posting like, you know, that they were not coming to work to stand in solidarity.
And I was like, so what you're telling me is liberals took another excuse not to go to work.
elijah schaffer
It was mostly women.
You're like, women found an excuse not to work.
unidentified
Oh.
savanah hernandez
Oh, watch.
I'm not joking.
The more I go to vote.
The more I go out on the streets and talk to women, the more I'm like, I will, I am fully like, revoke the 19th Amendment, because if I could give up my one common sense vote so that 200 other dumbass women who are, you know, voting with their emotion, voting nonsensically, cannot vote, I would gladly do it.
Revoke the 19th.
That's where my politics are at now.
elijah schaffer
Truly, this is the new face of white supremacy.
I gotta say this, it is I. White supremacy has become so much fun.
Uh, you got like.
Jews are involved yeah, brown Asian chicks are involved, and I guess I mean, I don't even know and I heard Vince Dow the Vietnamese are somehow gotten involved.
They're always involved in.
savanah hernandez
Some Asians are white passing, you have to remember.
elijah schaffer
No, I just meant like I've just really enjoyed this new, this new uh movement towards the right wing which, as you talked about with the exercise Size.
They fundamentally say that everything that's good and healthy for you is fundamentally right-wing, which I say is sort of a win because in a polarized world, at least the polarized side that we support, not by because of choice, but because of the hard times that we're in, you are forced to take a side.
And I think people don't realize that.
I always hear people talk about the danger of polarization.
The danger of polarization is starting antagonism or becoming antagonistic or protesting for the point.
And there are people who just do that.
It's like they can't agree on anything.
It's like you go in and it's like they have a problem with what you bought them.
I don't eat gluten.
Don't get me this.
It's like, dude, at some point, just stop complaining.
And just there is a time to go with the flow.
Literally, at a certain point, it's okay to swim in the ocean and then look at the lifeguard tower.
And if you've gotten two lifeguard towers too far down in the current, then you swim back.
But it's okay to let the current pull you a little bit.
That's natural, right?
To go to live and not live in this constant antagonism towards the world.
However, if you're in a rip current, you better fight like hell to get out because you might die.
You might get pulled under.
And right now, we're not in a normal flow of society of life where you capitulate a little bit.
We are evil has taken a hold.
The idea that even exercising is now considered right wing means we are fighting for our very lives, not actually just for the metaphysical, but for the physical health and the welfare of our future.
This is where we've come to.
josh lekach
Yeah, I think that the positive thing about what we believe is it's inherently true.
It's objectively true.
It's natural.
We're tied to the natural world.
Working out, eating healthy, and all that.
That's how we can stay human.
They want you to be this new subhuman that they're basically genetically and culturally engineering.
That's what they're doing.
They're changing people by what they consume, you know, whether it be entertainment, but also what they consume, you know, with regards to food.
They want people to be weak and dead.
You know, they want them to not have any real, any real relationships, anything of substance.
So everything that we talk about, we are morally correct and we are objectively correct.
And I think that, yes, the propaganda is so heavy-handed and it's so obvious and it's so constant, but that means it's because we are a hard opponent.
Like, you know, the truth is on our side.
And all we have to do is be even louder and unafraid to say it.
So they want me to bend the knee because they kick me off of Patreon.
I'm not going to bend the knee.
I'm going to come back stronger than ever.
And I think that if anything like that, I don't want you to say they kicked me off Patreon.
elijah schaffer
I'm not trying to control your language.
They literally took away your hard work and your income.
They took away your livelihood because getting banned on Patreon, Sydney got banned.
And I'm really sorry.
josh lekach
It's not like getting banned on Twitter.
unidentified
Correct.
elijah schaffer
I'm saying this is statement.
josh lekach
You're right.
elijah schaffer
You're right.
They did not, you did not lose your Twitter and you're mad and you need to bitch and complain on the show about how you got censored.
Everyone that's watching has been censored somewhere.
They came literally to where you make your income and said, without warning, we disagree with your opinions, which is literally the name of the show.
josh lekach
You literally call it an opinion.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, this is literally an opinion.
And they said, you can't be on here anymore.
And they did that to punish you and to make you suffer.
josh lekach
It punishes not only me, but my wife and 13-month-old baby.
And I have to pay rent next week.
You know, I mean, it really is an attack.
And I'm, and I don't exaggerate.
I, I, I said something like this on Infowars yesterday that they want us dead.
And then my friend texted me, bruh, dead?
That's a little, and it's not, no, it's true.
They, they do want you dead.
They don't want you to have an income because, I mean, basically what they believe is you're not welcome here and we don't want you welcome anywhere.
Like we don't want you to be able to rebuild your life.
We want you dead and on the street.
And maybe your kid can work at Foxconn in China.
Maybe he'll do well over there because the child labor laws there are non-existent.
But they do want us dead.
But that means that we're doing something right.
I mean, like the fact that I did get kicked off and that you got kicked off, it means that we're doing something that people are that matters and that people are paying attention to.
It means that they're afraid of us.
elijah schaffer
And they couldn't point, this is a key thing people don't realize.
They keep it vague because they can't point to anything you're doing wrong or said wrong because everything you're saying is correct.
And I do want to give you an encouragement though and remind you, I don't know if you're familiar with the story of Job in the Bible, right?
Where he lost everything.
If you're not familiar, he lost everything.
He was the wealthiest man in the land and he lost, I mean, everything, his house, his children, except for his wife.
He just lost it all.
But of course, you know, he trusted in God and he refused to curse God in the midst of the suffering and the trial.
And it says in Job 42, 10, and the Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends.
Also, the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
And at the end of this, it's saying that even though what he lost, God still returned back to him more than what he lost, double that.
It doesn't make the suffering any less difficult.
It doesn't make it any less trialsome or burdensome.
But the fact is, is that because God is powerful, because God is real, what the enemy means for evil, God turns it for our good.
And I think that's where we have the hope and we don't live in fear is that is that God can and will restore the righteous, even in our own mistakes.
It says the righteous fall seven times and get back up, seven being the number of completion, meaning we stumble and fall consistently by our own choice alone, yet we get up because God gives us the strength to do what we need to.
He empowers us through his might.
And so it's like this promise where it's like, dude, you think you control the money, but God gave you the breath in your body.
And God can always thwart and, you know, frustrate the plans of the enemy.
And the enemy isn't fighting you, Josh.
He's not fighting you, Savannah, in terms of the fact that, oh, he just hates Savannah and wants to ruin her career.
He's fighting against God.
He's fighting against God's people.
He's fighting against the army of the Lord and those who fight for righteousness and the goodness.
And people don't remember, people don't even remember the fact that there were kings even who they go, they weren't even Jewish in the Old Testament, but they were God-fearing people and God used them.
They were pharaohs that were God-fearing people.
People that fear God and know God and want to do his purpose, God uses them for his good.
And so, I mean, it is so interesting to me.
And I've seen this with you too.
I want to hear from both of you.
I don't know if there's a lot of guys listening.
If you're a guy and you're listening and you're married and you have a 13-month-old and you found out your income's freaking gone, how did you not freak out?
How do you call your wife?
What did you tell her?
How does this work out?
josh lekach
I just said, hey, because I spoke to her like 10 minutes before that.
And I'm like, hey, bad news.
And there was like personal bad news that I got an hour before.
It was a weird day.
Personal bad news is a friend of my family in Costa Rica, he got murdered the night before.
I wasn't going to say this or anything, but really, really crazy.
And it wasn't like a random act of violence.
It might have been something he did in his business.
Who knows?
We don't know yet.
So it was just I woke up to that news.
And these are on different levels.
I mean, life and death and then income, you know, kind of puts things in perspective.
And then my mic wasn't working.
No, just like weird things throughout that whole day.
But oddly, I was kind of at peace and prepared.
And I called my wife and I said, hey, I know we just spoke, but Patreon just kicked me off.
And I was very calm about it.
And I think that she felt that I was calm.
So she was okay.
I made my wife quickly.
elijah schaffer
Why were you calm?
I mean, genuinely, why were you calm?
I don't think a lot of guys would be like, oh, shit.
Like, I think anybody's like, you got an email and you're like, I'm fired.
That's the equivalent.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
I don't know what, how people would react.
You were calm.
That's not normal.
josh lekach
It's it's not normal.
It's not normal in the modern world because I think we're trained to try to stay away from bad things.
Like even even when people are like, Why are you so mean?
I'm like, How could you not be mean, you know, with what's going on?
Like, how could you not be angry?
How could you be okay?
So, I think that because I am in this world, I'm very used to being uncomfortable and the black sheep and surrounded by people who are relatively asleep.
So, I think that that oddly prepares you.
I mean, also, believing in something bigger than yourself prepares you.
Having faith in something bigger than yourself prepares you.
And knowing that you're doing something right, it's like even the working out thing, even how they say don't work out, they're saying that because they don't want you to be strong-minded.
elijah schaffer
Don't meet eat meat too is the newest thing.
josh lekach
Don't, yeah, but because they want you to be physically weak and they are selling these things as inherently bad.
Hard things are bad, hard, hard things are good.
You know, it's kind of like how they push antidepressants.
You should never feel sad, sadness is bad.
No, without sadness, you can't ever be happy, and it's weird to be happy all the time.
Like, everything that the modern society is pushing as good is completely wrong.
So, all of these things are interconnected.
And I think that, like, for instance, because I work out a lot and I eat healthy, that prepared me mentally for all of this.
Working out sucks, I hate it, but you feel amazing after eating healthy is hard because we have sugar and sweets and everything around us that is rewarding in the beginning, but then it's you pay for it later on.
So, eating healthy is really hard, and working out is really hard, but ultimately, you're you're you know, you're setting yourself up for success in the future.
That's the same thing with having a kid and not ignoring your kid and really nurturing your kid.
That's why I think mothers should stay at home, and that's why I encouraged my wife to quit her job and I was counting on the Patreon because I want my son Julian and then the future Julian's after Julian to be strong, independent, happy, successful people.
And when you do that, when you raise a kid that way and you really pay attention to them, which people don't do anymore, they rely on nannies and they rely on daycare and all of that.
They're not going to put you in a home later, they're going to care about you because they're going to remember you cared about them.
And it like, for instance, putting a person in an old age home, uh, people think that that's cruel and weird, but we're literally teaching people to uh think of old people as like an old TV because everyone is uh disposable.
We live in a very disposable society, and I think that everything that we push-uh, maybe even if we don't think about those things specifically, I think that everything that we push it all ties to that, it ties to meaningful relationships and having a meaningful life.
savanah hernandez
Josh, and if I can build on your point too, I listen to a lot of motivational speakers, and one of the most important things that I've learned from listening to these various people is to do something that you absolutely hate every single day.
Like you just talked about, you hate working out, so you force yourself to do it.
A lot of people, like you just said, you know, they hate doing something, so they say, you know what, I'm gonna treat myself self-love, I'm just not gonna do it.
We're gonna stay home today, we're gonna skip the gym, we're gonna go eat french fries and ice cream because self-love.
What everybody in this entire world should be doing is something that they hate every single day.
Imagine how drastically different our society would look if people actually pushed themselves and actually didn't cap themselves on it would be like Japan.
That's what I'm saying is work.
That's what I'm saying.
And I also wanted to build on your point too from earlier when you said, you know, on Infowars that these people want us dead.
You're 100% correct in that, and it's not an exaggeration.
And the way that I know that is because Elijah and I have gone out on the streets with these people, the same exact people that are on Twitter, trying to get you banned and deleted, have like come and tried to kill us in real life.
They've come and they've thrown bricks at us.
They've punched us in the face.
They've mobbed us.
They've robbed us.
They've attacked us.
josh lekach
They're not LARPing.
A lot of the times people on the right are like, oh, they're LARPing.
And I've actually said that too.
But if they had the chance to kill you, they would.
And not only that, they would get away.
Like that security guard who shot that guy in the face and he's completely, he got let off scot-free a month before the election.
That was like a month before the election, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
savanah hernandez
And that's what I'm saying is as a society, we're so coddled and we think, oh, no, it's just Twitter.
It's not real life.
It's not a big deal.
It is a big deal.
People are trying to kill you.
People need to understand that we are in an actual war right now.
You know, if you want to say it's a psychological war, propaganda war, say what you will.
But when push comes to shove, the opposition does want to stay.
And you and I have lived that out many a time.
unidentified
Right.
elijah schaffer
And I do want to talk about this.
We're going to come right back to this.
I want to give a huge shout out to our sponsor for today's show.
Obviously, we're having a public conversation right now, but not every one of you wants all of your conversations to be read by big tech companies that hate you.
What you don't realize is that there is no such thing as free services online.
In fact, they use your information against you.
So much so that even if you didn't commit a crime or do anything, remember, the government can decide tomorrow that your speech is illegal, which is why you've got to secure your email better than Hillary Clinton.
Now, she destroyed her servers.
And I don't suggest you do that, especially if you are not working for the Global Cavalry.
But on top of that, if you're an individual and you're like, I want that same level of protection where no one can hold me accountable for the amazing things that I say to support my country and those around me and are able to actually say what I mean.
Well, hey, you've got to have a private security email service, which is why I use StartMail.
So StartMail means that when you use their services and you delete your emails, they're gone forever.
They don't sell your data.
They don't read your emails.
They don't store them on their servers.
They're gone.
They are totally obsolete.
On top of that, they use end-to-end encryption so that you're not going to get hacked.
People are not going to come in and read your personal information.
And more importantly, you know that when you're talking about the things that matter most, which by the way, again, used to be, oh, don't want to talk about things illegal?
Are we talking about drugs?
Are we talking about some sort of illegal trade?
No.
And in parts of the country right now, you can't even say what you think about vaccines.
You can't talk about anything that's truthful.
You can't criticize certain groups.
It is really scary what's happening.

Yeah, it's not actually a joke because I tend to make everything sort of a joke in my life because nothing really is.
And I've learned to make light.
I guess that's called PTSD of everything.
But I genuinely think as we're in Washington, D.C., that, I mean, should they, there was an assassination attempt literally here, what, a year and a half ago where the FBI barred me from even coming into the city at all, or maybe that was maybe two years ago.
You know, and I literally had security pull me literally out of a crowd because they were trying to kill me.
They had planned to, they had the corner, everything were going to mass me.
They were going to mass stab me on this corner that we were going to.
unidentified
They were leading away from this mob.
elijah schaffer
This was during the election season of 2020.
And I remember thinking about the seriousness of this because I'm going, the FBI calls me and they say, look, the threats, what people were reporting are true and we have credible threats that they tried to take your life that night.
And we're going to ask that you do not come into the city.
And if you do, you don't announce in the future that you're coming and you wear a bulletproof vest and a stab vest if you can.
And people don't understand because I collect Barbies on this show and like have a fun time that I have to laugh a little bit about the absurdity, but it is a clown world.
It really is with real world consequences.
Because just because it doesn't make sense and everything's upside down doesn't mean that the penalties have changed.
The penalty for sin is death.
Okay.
And this is true.
And what happens is, is that when they want to kill us because they want to be God and they want to decide what they believe to be morality and they want to decide what's wrong.
And they've decided that what's good is evil and what is evil is good.
And the penalty for their sin of what they say is coming in the end.
They'll be judged by God.
The penalty of their sin will be death.
And they're going to suffer in hell and they will.
And the penalty for our sin is that we will have eternal life with God.
That's in the afterlife.
But in this present life, we will have trial and tribulation.
God promised this.
He said, there's like one promise that God had in the Bible that you can always remember is that you will have trials and you will have tribulations.
savanah hernandez
You will be persecuted.
elijah schaffer
And I think what's so fundamentally insane about this, we know what a trial is.
And like you said, with the self-love, there's even an account on it that's famous called Self-Love Live, who blocked me because I just sent her a DM and just said, hey, I think you'd be happier if you lost weight.
So she blocked me.
But I bet that genuinely, because she was depressed and didn't know why.
josh lekach
I was like, well, it's because you're always writing these massive captions.
unidentified
Correct.
savanah hernandez
And they're trying to validate themselves and they're trying to get other people to validate their decisions that they know are wrong, which is why we see this so much with the obese community that are like, oh, well, it's self-love.
It's great.
It's this and that.
It's healthy.
No, it's not.
And you're trying to make us validate something that we can all point blink see with our own two eyes is inherently false.
Leah Thomas is not a female.
Obesity is not healthy.
Women are women.
Men are men.
And they, like you just said, they're trying to normalize evil.
They're trying to normalize all of these things in our society and make it okay.
And we're in chaos now.
elijah schaffer
Yeah.
And building on that, let's take that point and connect it here.
Is that very rarely do people talk about the second part of this?
Everyone's because I'm going through a trial.
Don't lose that point, by the way, because we need to touch on that.
They go, oh, we're going through a trial.
Okay, cool.
A trial, trial.
We all go through trials.
What about tribulations?
Because tribulations are like epics or periods.
Like a tribulation is not something that you, it's a, you know, oh, I'm having a hard time in my marriage.
I'm going through a trial.
Oh, you know, maybe like you're, you know, you go around, you're familiar with that.
Maybe you're a woman and your husband's struggling with porn and that, you know, it's going through a trial in your life.
Maybe somebody died, you know, like my mom died or your family member died.
Maybe you're going through a trial right now.
You lost your job, essentially.
That's a trial.
But what is the deal of trial and tribulations?
A tribulation is essentially a period of consistent trial where you are under stress from all fronts and very few survive.
And if you see where tribulations are mentioned in eschatology and in Revelation, they're mentioned in the terms of many people die and nobody, the very few survive.
A tribulation, very few get out of it.
It is that tough that it can physically kill you.
And that's what's crazy about talking about the physical killing.
We are entering into a tribulation period.
I'm not saying it is the Revelation tribulation period, but we are going through a tribulation in the world society to where your life is on the line.
They want to molest your children and call you a bigot if you don't let them.
They want to turn your kids into like transhuman aliens.
And I mean that not figuratively, literally, they want to cut their penises off.
And as we saw in the last show, they're teaching kids to tape their balls to their butthole.
I mean, this is crazy stuff.
This is a tribulation.
And with tribulations, trials can be individual, but a tribulation is usually focused as a whole.
unidentified
We're in this and we have to be stronger than this.
josh lekach
I think like I was saying before, we have to embrace this and we have to use it to our advantage because the way that we do that is, okay, you listening and listening to this podcast and shows like mine and yours, that's step one.
But if you don't have kids, if you don't get married and if you don't have kids, then everything you're learning is going to go to waste.
You need to be able to pass down what you have learned through the trials and the tribulations to your offspring and hope that they can help build a better world later on.
And I mean, that's what we're trying to do now.
But these things take time.
And the only possible way to do it and to win and also to combat the open borders in the South because we are being replaced is literally have as many babies as possible and don't offer them up to the state.
Don't use the public schools.
I mean, I like when conservatives complain and they're very passionate to the school board, but I think that we shouldn't even validate the school system.
It wasn't even good before the woke stuff.
Like we forget it was bad.
The school system has been bad and broken for a very long time.
And for us to rely on the government to fix these things is it's a little bit naive.
So we have to be a little bit more creative.
And look, like the COVID thing, people started to realize that the school system was severely broken during the COVID thing.
elijah schaffer
And point out, by the way, I just want to remind people, if you're new to the show, that and you want to learn how to give thanks in the midst of a black pill.
God does use evil for our good.
And that is, as you're about to touch on, one of the upsides as you thank God is that the COVID woke a lot of people up to the indoctrination of kids.
Just remember that and search that deeper and share that with people who are feeling discouraged.
josh lekach
Yeah, I think that the people in power are very confident and it's going to be to their detriment that they are this confident because I think that like what Trump did, which was he basically tore down these institutions that we used to revere and he basically revealed them to be just trash and evil.
The COVID thing is doing the same and everything election is doing the same.
I think it's doing the same.
And they keep overplaying their hand.
And they do want you to feel isolated.
They do want you to feel alone and don't ever succumb to that because we can use all of these things to our advantage.
savanah hernandez
And Josh, too, isn't it so crazy how we've destroyed the traditional family so much and then also normalize sending our children to go be raised by the state.
I was homeschooled.
I hated it when I was homeschooled.
But looking back now, I realize that it's probably the best thing that my mother could have done for me because my mom was raising me, not the state, not the schools.
My own mother was raising me.
We've destroyed traditional family.
We've destroyed the role of females, of mothers.
We've, you know, taken them out of that nurturing place where they're raising up the next generation and they're, you know, teaching them and guiding them in the way that they should go.
And now we have the entire state corrupting this next generation.
I'd like to listen to Yuri Besminov.
He's a former KGB defector propaganda expert.
He talks about what it takes to subvert a country.
It takes about 10 to 15 years.
And why is that?
Because you re-educate the entire generation and then that generation comes up.
Look at where we're at right now.
They have infiltrated our corporations.
Our schools take your pick.
They've infiltrated our highest institutions.
Look at the Supreme Court nominee right now who can't even define what a woman is.
elijah schaffer
Which we're going over to the Supreme Court after this.
We literally are going to go over there to film some stuff.
And it reminds me of a verse, 2 Corinthians 1.4 that said, like, blessed be our Lord and Father, Jesus Christ, who comforts us in all of our affliction, or some verses say tribulation, with the comfort that which we ourselves are comforted by God so we can comfort other people.
It's a little bit out of order, but it's literally, I think the exact verse is genuinely that he comforts us and so we can comfort other people.
And that's the same comfort that we receive from God, meaning God comes to us and shows us in this tribulation what it's like to be comforted.
And I think people don't get what that means too.
And I want to keep this biblical.
I've been moving way towards God recently.
I've had a really rough time and not in my faith, just in the practice of it, right?
In obedience to God.
But I've been seeing more that God is the only answer and that this is not going to be one through politics.
And I look to this because I've been getting so discouraged, like you said, and about just like we are in a tribulation.
And before I even go further, you're Jewish, but are you religiously Jewish?
No, but the older you know God, that's all I'm wondering.
josh lekach
I know him.
I've seen him.
He's a great guy.
I can tell you that.
The older I've, I'm 35.
The older I've gotten, the more I have come to respect religion because obviously it was in vogue when I was in my tween, my tweens, my teens and 20s to be atheist or agnostic or whatever.
I mean, again, all of that is like eating unhealthy and sleeping around and all that.
Like it's instant gratification.
It's instant gratification to not believe in something bigger than yourself because it's, you know, it's oddly comforting, but it doesn't really, there's nothing substantial to it.
So the older I've gotten, the more I have come to revere it.
And who knows where I'll be five years from now.
So I'm not necessarily a practicing Jew, but I definitely respect it.
And I don't.
elijah schaffer
Do you believe that?
Do you think Jesus is because before I read this?
This is why I'm asking you.
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is real or could be the Savior?
Or do you reject that?
josh lekach
I don't reject that.
No, I don't.
But I don't really know much about.
I can't like you even quoting things off the top of your head.
I can't do that.
Like, I'm not a theologist, you know, but I definitely don't reject that.
And I was telling your producer before that, and this is getting to Joe Rogan levels.
So I'm sorry if you guys find that cringe, but my turning point around was like my late 20s and early 30s, where I'm like, yeah, I think I should have kids.
I think I should have a family.
I should probably stop sleeping around.
You know, I should be more serious.
And it went hand in hand with doing ayahuasca and Joshua Tree.
elijah schaffer
I fully understand that.
josh lekach
Yeah.
And whatever you think about psychedelics and all that, which I haven't done in a while because I don't need to.
I don't feel like I need to.
You get to peek behind the curtain and then you realize, okay, there is something and there is something bigger than ourselves.
And I'm not quite sure what it is.
And I'm going to make it one of my life's goals to try to figure it out within myself and ingrain it in my family.
But I do know that there is something absolutely bigger.
And I mean, even with what the Bible says or what the Torah says, we look at people from the past as barbaric and stupid.
But I mean, most people do.
And then I look at what they're talking about.
And yeah, they didn't know what germs were, but they knew to wash their hands.
You know, like Jews are.
elijah schaffer
God gave hygiene.
They had it from the beginning at basically from Leviticus on.
It was basically understood.
And it wasn't that they were unhygienic before.
It was just like, let's put this into standard practice as if you didn't realize this.
Like hand washing was a normal thing.
josh lekach
Exactly.
elijah schaffer
Before they would say, like, oh, it was discovered a couple hundred years ago by this one guy.
No, dude, literally, Leviticus talks about this.
And oh, periods.
He found out that you could be unclean.
Literally, you just have to go away from the camp and you were unclean.
Literally called unclean.
josh lekach
In Hebrew, it's the mikveh.
They were talking about the mikvah.
Yeah.
So they knew, and they knew it without science, which is actually really interesting, which maybe proves our point that there is something bigger.
elijah schaffer
It came from God.
josh lekach
Exactly.
elijah schaffer
People don't realize that.
People believe in God, and God knows more than man's discovery because he created the discovery and the idea of men to discover.
josh lekach
Yeah, science is trying to take credit for things we've known for thousands of years.
elijah schaffer
I love that.
I'm sorry.
I love that.
Like, think about that, everybody that's listening.
So many things men try to say they figured out now so that they could get accolades and praise and worship and that they could feel like they're esteemed when it's common sense and the common sense that they have, they pretend like they don't know.
Like, what is a woman?
They take credit for hand washing, but can't tell you what a girl is.
So, I mean, like, really, how lofty, how lofty and high do men think?
And I want to ask you this, though, because there's so many good points that we can go here with the ayahuasca thing and changing, but it, but it, but it, but it says specifically here in that, in that verse that in the tribulation, the way that we endure it is through comfort from God.
And comfort comes literally like being comfortable.
This is crazy.
Learning to be comfortable in the most difficult time, collective time is kind of, I believe, how we're a witness and how we show people that genuinely God is real because they're going, everything's crazy.
The freaking dollar is inflated.
There's inflation.
We're devaluing our dollar.
Like, everything's going crazy.
I don't know.
And it is so uncomfortable.
You're not like, hey, man, like you said, fake, chill, chill, bro.
Just do ayahuasca.
Everything will be fine.
It's not going to be fine, actually.
And that's the point.
It's not.
But whether you are in prison or you are free, whether you have a lot or a little, you make it your aim to please God and you realize that you can be content in all things, like Paul says.
So it's realizing, and I'm like realizing this recently and why I'm going more towards God, is the only way that I can sustain through this, the only way that I can get through this is learning that God is going to have to be my focus because I can't change the circumstances in the world, but I can change the way I am aware of myself in it and the way that I am running my family in it.
And I'm learning and I'm going to go on a journey to learn to be comfortable with the fact that the world is not in my hands.
It's not in my control.
And I can't live reacting to it every day and just trying to freak out.
I'm like, you know what?
No matter what happens, my aim remains the same.
It's going to be to please God.
And I got to clean up my life in a lot of areas.
Still, I'm in my late 20s.
I've got to get more serious with my walk with God.
But it said that with that comfort.
And what he's saying is when people see what the comfort that we receive from God, rather than freaking people out and telling them, oh my gosh, you got to freak out about the future.
It says that then we help comfort other people.
So we learn what God does to make us secure and safe.
And then we transfer that comfort to people and say, check this out.
And they go, that doesn't make any sense.
Like you said, science doesn't show me.
There's no study.
Show me the psychology study that shows me that I should be comfortable in this.
No, it's not.
It's divine.
It's from God.
And check this out.
That's even cooler.
You don't have to change today and figure this out.
God can bring supernatural peace that passes understanding down in the depths of your heart.
And I'm like, I'm like, I'm going through like a second salvation period in my life where I'm like going, wow, I believe and I have faith.
And I even had, dude, people don't realize 100 years of my life where I never cussed.
I didn't have sex.
I didn't drink.
I didn't do anything.
And it didn't make me closer to God.
It just made me self-righteous.
And in fact, going and finding out my own world and searching and going out and trying to discover, like you said, you didn't have it all figured out.
I'm learning.
I'm uncomfortable now.
And what's the difference?
It's because I have to acknowledge that my goal is not to A, be self-righteous or B, change the world to be righteous because I can't control that, but I am to focus on God alone and to transfer that through the authority of God onto people in the world.
And it's like that understanding.
And maybe it takes ayahuasca.
Maybe it takes something, some experience or something spiritual to wake you up to realize that life is not just about what you feel, just about what you see.
So there's something deeper that's going on.
savanah hernandez
That's why, too, sorry, Carlos.
josh lekach
No, no, no, you go ahead.
savanah hernandez
Go ahead.
That's why it's so important to have a strong relationship with God.
And to be quite honest with you, I don't know how atheists do it.
I don't.
Well, actually, I do.
Look at society right now.
Look at all of the people who are on antidepressants, who are alcoholics, who are addicted to drugs, who are addicted to sex, addicted to their money and their careers.
They're, you know, trying to replace God and they're trying to find this sense of fulfillment in one of these things.
And that fulfillment and that peace can only come from a relationship with God.
And that's why so many people struggle in the modern day because they are disconnected from God and they are trying to figure out why am I not happy?
Why am I not joyful?
What can I do to fill this hole in my heart?
It's God.
It truly is.
I've lived through this my own self.
And, you know, again, I've struggled and it's kind of crazy because, you know, human nature, it's like we want the easy way out.
We do want the instant gratification.
josh lekach
You mean it's not Funko Pops and Marvel movies?
That's not going to fill that hole?
savanah hernandez
I know, I know, kind of crazy, right?
josh lekach
From China?
savanah hernandez
No, but that's what it is.
It's like everyone's searching for this instant gratification.
But like we talked about, even the relationship with God and finding the fulfillment via God is really hard.
It's something that you got to work on every single day, but it's worth it.
josh lekach
The thing I was going to mention when you mentioned finding a higher power by doing ayahuasca and all that, a lot of what I do is my gut.
Like moving my family to Costa Rica, it wasn't a conversation.
My dad was like, my parents live there and my kid is their first grandkid and we live in the same building as them.
It's amazing.
My dad was like, hey, you should move out here.
And I said, okay, yeah, you're right.
There was no pros and cons list.
I wasn't thinking about it.
I wasn't like, well, should we, shouldn't we?
I told my wife, I'm like, hey, we're moving to Costa Rica.
And so a lot of how I operate is my gut.
And because like women have women's intuition, men also have their gut.
We have, you know, and modern society has trained us to completely ignore that because all of that is racist and toxic masculinity and all that.
elijah schaffer
It is actually anti-Semitic.
josh lekach
And also, I'm an anti-Semite, even though I'm a Jew.
savanah hernandez
That'll happen.
unidentified
Yeah.
savanah hernandez
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
By the way, this show is anti-Semitic, which is why we have Jewish guests on Friday and then Monday, Andrew Clavin.
josh lekach
Oh, I'm a token Jew.
That's what it is.
elijah schaffer
No, but you're one of the tokens.
So we actually have an entire shekel bag.
Yeah.
savanah hernandez
I'm a token brown person.
So, you know, there's so many tokens.
josh lekach
I'm okay.
elijah schaffer
We're winning the entire archives.
I know.
josh lekach
It's a big tent.
elijah schaffer
I want to clarify everything I disagree with is anti-Semitism.
josh lekach
So the ayahuasca thing and finding something bigger than myself, I just thought I had to go do that.
And then all of those doors opened after without even that being my goal, which is pretty cool.
So people can find that sort of stuff in many different avenues.
You just have to kind of really listen to yourself and definitely don't do things that are for instant gratification or anything like that.
elijah schaffer
Can I ask you a question?
Because this, as a way to, as a way to tell you something, tell me.
You know, in order to promote your podcast, first of all, we should do a show for your wrong opinion and talk about hallucinogenics and stuff.
And people keep asking me to make that.
And I think that would be a good way I could push some people over to you to genuinely have that.
And that's a good paywall thing because I think that's a really deep conversation.
But I do want to let you know that Sav and I, we both, we've done a lot over the last couple of years.
Sav's not my producer anymore.
If people haven't been keeping up with the show, the new producer is Josiah.
josh lekach
Great guy.
elijah schaffer
Great, fantastic.
josh lekach
Great guy.
elijah schaffer
Fantastic.
josh lekach
Really good hair.
elijah schaffer
Very good.
savanah hernandez
Great hair.
elijah schaffer
A fan of people with good hair, I wouldn't know.
Like I tell people, I'm not balding.
I just got born with a receding hairline.
That's called a six head.
It's not the best part.
It's sad when your forehead has a number higher than your overall attractiveness.
My forehead's a six and I'm a four.
There was a lot of four and my forehead got the six.
So anyway, it's a six head.
josh lekach
Math.
elijah schaffer
No, but we've done a lot to try to support people.
And I mean this because I feel sometimes insecure about this is that I want to do more than I can.
And maybe if you're listening, you know exactly what I'm saying.
We're like, you want to do more in the world and you can not do the things that you want.
But then that actually ends up causing and immobilizing you from doing the things that you can do.
It's like, because you can't control the value of the dollar.
It's like, okay, you can't control that.
Your people do that.
I'm just kidding.
josh lekach
But I mean, like, they do.
And I'm not allowed in the meetings, which is crazy.
elijah schaffer
Yeah.
He gets getting kicked out because he's trying to bring the value back.
But no, but I mean.
josh lekach
My wife's not Jewish.
So that's probably why.
unidentified
That's why.
savanah hernandez
That's why.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
Anathema.
But I do mean this genuinely.
And you can't control, you know, the election.
I know somebody does.
But there are things that you can control.
And it took me a while to realize that, like, I may not at this show be able to raise $10 million, like Glenn Beck to donate to Afghanis.
Great, great.
I really care about Americans and we care about the people on the show.
Sav and I, and you guys listening and watching, have really come together.
And I've been so proud of the audience of this show of just putting your money where your mouth is.
We've been raising, we've raised money for Christmas.
You guys have helped each other out with so many things.
We did the bakery, helped the bakery, which ended up shutting down, but through some serious months of COVID.
It's been really fantastic.
And it's been so great.
And I genuinely, outside of the show, you know, I've always donated to the responses and to the donations myself because I don't just ask people to give money.
I don't ask people to support things that I wouldn't support.
I have a standard.
I'm never going to tell you to give money to something that I'm not going to give to.
And I'm never going to be bullied into it.
I don't think you should.
Money is scarce.
It's a commodity.
And when I read that verse and I think about the comfort to which we are comforted by God, I'm going to tell the truth to people.
I have never had a problem with money.
And I don't mean I've always had money.
And I'm speaking to someone who's listening to this.
And this might be you.
And maybe you need to share this with somebody.
I have never been in want because I have never needed money, even though it's required to live.
And what I mean by that is I've always learned to be content in whatever circumstance that I'm in.
And I've had a little and I've had a lot and I know how to enjoy it.
And I've always done a lot with a little.
And I've actually found sometimes when you have more, you get more narcissistic, more selfish.
josh lekach
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
And so here's what I want to say: you don't need a lot to help people out.
But if you want to help people out and you really genuinely want to use your money for good, there's a reason why I've never been with, I've never been in want.
I believe in God's testament about you give from what you have from the widow's might.
Remember, she gave.
Do you know the story of the widow's might?
josh lekach
No, but teach me.
elijah schaffer
Okay, so this is a true story.
This is with Jesus.
This is so important.
In the temple, the people were tithing and they were giving.
And people say, man, I can't do a lot.
I can't give $10 million.
Essentially, all the rich people were giving a tenth of what they had.
They were following the tithing laws.
And so, I mean, I'm going to use American dollars as a perspective because I think I don't know what their coins were.
Probably denarius or something like that in the Roman Empire.
But they were giving, let's say, you know, $4,000, you know, writing checks and cash into the bin, making sure everybody could see, essentially, being like a black dude at a strip clunk.
josh lekach
I went to a synagogue like that growing up.
elijah schaffer
You saw this.
josh lekach
I've seen this.
elijah schaffer
Yes.
unidentified
Okay.
elijah schaffer
They still do this to this day.
josh lekach
They still do it.
elijah schaffer
And they're, you know, throwing the dollars in.
This poor woman walks over, takes what's called a mite, which is equivalent to like in our day, probably a dollar, I think, and drops it in.
But but it's, but it's genuinely just a dollar.
You can't do anything.
Today, you can't even, you can't even buy, you know, they can't buy you anything.
And the moral of the story was, was that she was the one who would be rewarded in God's kingdom because those that gave a lot gave out of an abundance and gave a fraction.
That was her last dollar.
josh lekach
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
So she gave one dollar, but the value was everything she had.
She gave everything she had to God.
And those people gave more to God that men judged.
But their money that they gave was less than what they could have done.
And God said, she's rewarded more in the kingdom of heaven because man judges based on value.
They judge based on what they see, but God judges the heart and where things come from.
And so while I'm not someone who can give you a ton of money or support, and I don't think anyone in this audience can, we do want to support you.
I want you to feel the comfort to which God has also comforted me, where I have always served God and given God as much as I can in my life.
And so I've never been in want because he always provides for his children when they're in need.
That it might not seem like a lot, but I was talking to Kez, my wife, and we wanted to support you.
And we want to at least give you like a full month gone of Patreon.
Just no, no, no, yeah.
unidentified
That's crazy.
elijah schaffer
No, but I mean, we want to at least genuinely give that to you.
And I say this because I don't know if you're out there and you make $10 million or you're like the widow and you have the widow's might.
I do encourage you as Christians, as believers, as God-fearing people, as conservatives, that you actually do support the people when they're in need.
And I don't, you know, we don't do this very often, but there's a, I want you to, you guys, to support, to support Josh.
josh lekach
Thank you.
elijah schaffer
For, for what he's doing in this.
And so I'm saying this, whether it's less than, what, I think, what do you make a month, $4,000?
josh lekach
It was like $4,000.
elijah schaffer
Okay, so we'll give you $4,000.
So whether it's less, but whether it's less or whether it's more, go to wrongopinion.net, go on there, find the ways to support him and to connect.
And even if you send him an email, even if you have nothing, and the most you can do is give him a follow on his social media links, even if all you can do is just pray for him.
Again, God's not judging you on this.
And I'm not being a preacher.
It's like, give money and God's going to bless you.
I meant right now, take a step of action.
We get no money from this.
We're not being paid to promote this.
There's nothing like that.
You didn't even know we were going to do this.
josh lekach
Yeah, I don't know.
elijah schaffer
But I want you guys to genuinely take this time to start making the change in your life.
Do something to support Josh in his time of need.
Do something.
And I want to extend that over, you know, in the idea of Savannah lost her Twitter.
Reach out to her.
It's a different situation and support her everywhere you can.
Don't just cry about censorship.
Follow her on Truth Social.
Go on all of these places.
Go to her YouTube everywhere you can and support them.
And I think this is what I mean: we are comforted and we share that comfort.
I know what it's like to never fear about money because I know who controls the bank.
It's not the Jews.
It is a Jew.
It's Christ.
Ah, the Jews control the money.
It's God.
No, but I meant, I mean, genuinely speaking.
And I want people to take this moment to support you.
And I hope you feel supported.
This isn't.
No, I hope you do.
This show supports you.
josh lekach
I do.
No, thank you.
Thank you so much.
And like, there's a lot of different subcultures within the conservative world, but the camaraderie, I think, is what makes us very strong.
Like the support on Infowars yesterday was immense and it wasn't monetary or anything, but the fact that they had me on again to talk about this, you know, it makes you feel less alone.
And especially being behind a paywall, you're like, are people, does anybody even know I exist?
Like, I put a lot of work into this, and I kind of have to be behind a paywall because I don't really censor myself.
And I have one strike away.
I'm one strike away on YouTube from being banned.
So I just don't even post anything there.
Yeah, yeah.
So there's just no point.
And I use YouTube now to put classical music on for my son.
You know, like I don't want that band.
The algorithm knows what I like now.
So I, you know, must appease the algorithm.
But the point about, you know, giving whatever, even if it's just a follow, is absolutely true.
I mean, I've had pretty rich people subscribe to my show, and I know that they won't even watch it.
And they only subscribe for $10 a month, but that's not only.
Like, all of that adds up.
And I reach out and I say thank you because I don't expect much from people.
And the amount doesn't matter.
Just the fact that they are there when I need them matters.
And like I said, it all adds up.
So, really, I mean, I appreciate the support.
It's immense.
savanah hernandez
And even for me, too, like when I've gotten emails of people just being like, hey, I like your work.
Keep it up.
Good job.
Even that is so helpful.
Because, like you said, you know, the reason why they censor us is because they want us to feel alone.
They want us to think that we're, like you said earlier, the crazy ones in society and we're the ones doing wrong here.
But in reality, we do speak for the silenced majority.
And so when we get emails like that, I know for me, it's really helpful because it's like, cool, thank you so much for just being here and seeing my work and being a fellow American that's willing to stand up with me on this one.
elijah schaffer
Really, really genuinely.
And that reminds me of a verse from Galatians 6:2 that literally says that we bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.
And this is a time to bear someone's burden.
And I hate turning this into like a Bible lesson, but this is the show's always just where my heart's at, where we're going.
josh lekach
Absolutely.
elijah schaffer
It's like to genuinely show support.
And I do want to say, like, obviously, that's not from the show, but I get paid from this show.
And that's possible because of our sponsors.
We're demonetized everywhere.
And so I want to give a huge shout out to another sponsor from today's show.
So we talk a lot about keeping your spirit strong as well as keeping your body strong.
And the best way to do that, untold way to do it, that all of the media is trying to get you to stop doing is eating healthy meat that's good for your body.
A lot of the stuff that we see at the market, you go and you like, if you could find it, by the way, you look at the chicken and I don't know what it is, but why does it look slimy?
Why do it look like slugs?
unidentified
It's gray.
elijah schaffer
It looks unnatural.
The meat is like, it turns like white.
I mean, I understand there's oxidation, different things, but like, man, can we not get a little fresh meat and not pay through the roof for it?
Which is why I got to talk to you about moink box.
Now, moink box is a meat delivery system, not just meat that you can get at the grocery store.
These are from small farms only that don't use antibiotics, don't use chemicals, and they treat all of their animals humanely from the birth to the time they give their life and sacrifice it for you so that you can have the energy you need.
Obviously, that's what we say.
We're not just about just eating food, we're about eating good food here at Slightly Offensive.
And we want to keep American farming going by signing up right now at moinkbox.com/slash offensive.
That's M-O-I-N-K-B-O-X.com slash offensive right now.
And every one of you who's listening to this show or is watching it gets free filet mignon for a year when you sign up today.
That's one year of the best filet mignon that you'll ever taste, but for a limited time.
Go to moinkbox.com/slash offensive.
M-O-I-N-K-B-O-X.com slash OFF-E-N S I V E.
And guys, this is so crazy because sometimes I feel like I'm getting pranked.
How do you get a year of filet mignon for free?
They're doing it.
And if you want to get on board, I know I personally like the ribeye the best.
I'm a ribeye guy.
I like the marblization.
I've never had a bad one from them.
In fact, I've only had excellent.
I like their salmon.
My wife's not like super big into fish.
So she's like a little bit more, you know, moving towards just chicken only.
And maybe you're like that.
And I don't do a lot of pork, but they gave me a really great pork shoulder and it cooked well and everyone really enjoyed it.
So whatever meat you want, they have the options for you of the highest quality, the best taste.
It does not matter.
You can customize your box.
They send it to you.
You never have to worry about being out of meat because you have the best that's already right there in your home.
Moinkbox.com/slash offensive.
M-O-I-N-K-B-O-X.com slash offensive.
Check it out for free filet mignon for a year.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
And like I said, you know, with you guys supporting the products and things like this, I'm able to make an income and then we can use the money for good because out of an abundance, we could, we can give.
And I and I find this really interesting though, is that we're getting to the point in life, and this comes deep into my heart where I think you made this point on Tim last night about Tim Pool, which you should check out the interview where Savannah was on and make sure you support her.
She's really fighting the good fight of faith on the internet.
Is that the amount of people that say, yeah, you know, they take our guns, you know, they take our guns.
I'll freaking shoot them if the government comes.
Really?
Well, the immigrants, the illegal immigrants taking your job, not just illegal, the legal immigrants, the ones your government is allowing them to come.
It's not just law breakers.
They have millions.
Yes.
It's legal are taking your jobs and you're not saying anything about it.
In fact, you support those.
You can stand up and go, I love legal immigration.
You're not even standing up for your own country.
And I don't mean that in a bad way.
I mean, people are not as strong as they are.
So people love to say, I want to help.
I want to give.
I want to change the world.
But the thing is, is that change starts with submitting to God.
And I know this, I'm convicted by it.
And it also comes in your own life in what you can do.
And it's called, it's called delusions of grandeur.
My mom used to tell me that people always have this idea of they're going to be the protagonist in their own story.
josh lekach
Yeah, the main movie, the main character of their movie.
Everyone thinks that way right now.
elijah schaffer
So they think, they think in a large archetype, right?
This is what this is what it is.
Everybody, it's like they go out there and they want COVID to end, but they'll still wear a mask and they still get injected.
And it's like, you really don't want it to end.
You don't realize that change starts with you making the little decisions now to not submit, to reject the system and to support those, to bear each other's burdens.
Everyone else around you is suffering.
And I don't know if you guys agree with this, but we're getting to the area where everyone is against us except us.
josh lekach
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
And I don't mean in this room.
I mean, think about that.
Everyone is against us, except us.
The new world order, the nation states, the education systems, the banking systems, the media, every institution, the corporations specifically, companies, everybody's against us, except for us.
Like you said, the majority.
Together, we bear each other's burdens.
josh lekach
Yeah.
And because of that, I've never been happier.
How crazy is that?
We're living in the most insane time in human history, and I've never been happier.
And I'm not speaking for anyone else in this room, but I think that when you come to that realization with what you just said, it's kind of comforting, you know?
And then, and then it doesn't dissuade me from my own goals of growing my family and living the way I want to live.
It's interesting with all the power that they have, they don't have it.
savanah hernandez
See, and I want to get back to your point, too, Elijah, about just the common man being able to make a stand.
You know, back what, like four or five years ago, I was nobody.
You were nobody before you started this.
You were nobody before you started your platform.
We were all the, you know, common man, if you will, but because we were willing to stand up and speak out against these issues, now we've been elevated.
Now we have the platform and the voice.
But what I want a lot of people to understand is that they could be extraordinary and they can be, you know, the main character in their story and they can make the change.
They can, you know, stand up and say no to the face mask.
Go hold up a sign in protest.
Just do something, but like have a backbone and stand up and don't think that, you know, oh, I'm nobody.
I can't do it.
It's, you know, I need Elijah Schaefer to speak for me.
You don't.
You can do it.
Dude, back in the day, I didn't think I would ever be where I'm at right now.
I went and I held up a sign that said Police Lives Matter, say his name, David Dorn, because David Dorne had just been brutally murdered by B11.
josh lekach
That wasn't even that long ago.
savanah hernandez
It wasn't that long ago, dude.
People still know me from that to this day.
It was a $5 poster board, and somebody took a video of it, blew up.
And that can happen to anybody willing to take a stand.
You don't have to be special.
You don't have to be like, oh, I have to have the YouTube channel be big.
No, anybody can make the change, but you have to be willing to stand up and sacrifice.
elijah schaffer
The criticisms, and this is actually where it's fair.
People criticize people that are public figures a lot, and they should.
And it's good.
And I don't mind it.
And anyone with a public figure that's somehow upset at the criticisms about them, don't be a public figure.
You're in the wrong job, buddy.
It's like being afraid of heat and you're a firefighter.
unidentified
Okay.
elijah schaffer
You're literally, this is the problem.
So I don't mind.
And I, and I, and I have, when I, people honestly criticize me, when they're not just like mocking me, but I get honest criticisms about like my faith.
You know, you're a bad example, this, this, and that.
You should work on it.
And I've responded to people with something very serious.
I go, if you're such a better example, and I don't mean this cocky, why don't you then go out?
If you're if you're the person, you think that you're the person that could be the best example, and I don't, I'm not, I'm not being petty.
If you really think that you're lacking, everyone's lacking, and you've got it, and you're the one who's going to show people what really it is to be a man of God or a woman of God, you need to obey God's calling on your life, and you need to put yourself out there because you can criticize everyone for not affecting the change that you want or being the way that you want, or you can take a leap of faith and go out and to do something.
And if you see problems in the world, that's how you make the change because you go, These people, this country, this nation is lacking somewhere where I see I can do something great.
Man, I'm looking out there, and like, and it's not just my faith, that's what I get attacked on the most.
Atheists consistently say they get attacked on atheism.
I'm always attacked by Christians, so I mean, I don't know.
I mean, it's how it works.
And it's like, okay, you need to pray to God and you need to ask Him if He's calling you out to be that example and to be that witness, or are you just being prideful and you really can't handle and you don't know what it's like?
I don't know, but go ahead and go forth and go out.
But I also want to say, gen, genuinely, about this is you said, like with the nobody or with this or that, like a few years ago.
That's the point: it's not even that you're somebody or you're somebody or I'm somebody, it's that we actually give a damn.
And that's what I like about in this room and why we're doing this podcast differently.
We make an entertainment show because, as Glenn Beck tells me, obviously, this is a business first, and so many people give a damn, but they don't understand how to make a business out of it.
So, then they end up just losing everything and they don't know how to make a living, which is important.
But also, more than more people than not just make a living off this and they don't actually care, they don't actually know what's best for the country.
They just want to shove their views on people, and it's leading people in the wrong direction.
It's not helping the country move forward, and it's like we actually care so I can transform in my views.
I don't have everything right, I haven't got everything right, you have not gotten everything right, and you know that.
And you're sitting there and you're listening and you're watching, and you're like, I don't have everything figured out.
No, you don't, but if you give a damn, if you care and you want to see what's good, you can get on that journey too.
But if you're not willing to sacrifice, if you're not willing to lose things, if you're not willing to be ridiculed, if you're not willing to take the heat, then you don't give a damn.
That's how you know you don't give, you don't give literally a crap.
For it's just it's just smoke, it's it's it's a smoke screen.
Because if you're if you don't give that damn, or if you if you if you're afraid of the criticism or you don't want to take it, then really you care about yourself and you don't care about the people around you.
savanah hernandez
Well, then think about it.
elijah schaffer
You guys are different.
savanah hernandez
Think about it too.
So, a lot of people are like, Well, I just don't know how to do this, or I don't know how to do that.
Okay, then go learn.
The internet exists, go teach yourself how badly do you want it.
There's no excuse for anybody in this entire country not to be successful, not to achieve their goals and dreams.
I don't care if you came from the richest family or the poorest family.
If you have the tenacity, if you have the drive to achieve your goals, you can achieve anything and you can do anything with your life.
josh lekach
Yeah, it's true.
I guarantee you, none of us were good at any of this sort of stuff in the beginning.
savanah hernandez
Dude, I was horrible.
josh lekach
Yeah, horrible.
Go back.
elijah schaffer
I still shut up.
josh lekach
I recently went back and listened to like the first few podcasts I ever did.
I'm like, What are you doing?
savanah hernandez
Dude, it's so embarrassing.
unidentified
You're like, You're watching yourself and you're like, Oh my gosh, I need to delete this immediately.
I'm sitting here in real time going, I can't believe this is my show.
josh lekach
No, man, no, but another thing is that, uh, because you mentioned to be tenacious.
Uh, what I like about the podcasting world is that there is a barrier to entry.
It's really hard to do this.
A lot of people start off a podcast or something because they, you know, they think they're going to be Joe Rogan and then they quit after like two or three episodes because no one listens.
elijah schaffer
One, most podcasts don't make it past really easy.
josh lekach
Yeah, okay.
So, so just if you want to do this, uh, don't even think of it as your profession, do it as a hobby and and just do it consistently, and that's it.
savanah hernandez
And do it because you like to do it.
josh lekach
That's what I'm saying, and then eventually it can turn into something.
And if you're afraid of getting canceled, but you really want to voice your opinions like, I'm not anonymous, and my it's my real name, my real face, everything's out there, but you can still be kind of anonymous if you want.
I mean, but if you think what you have to say is worth a damned, then just keep doing it.
elijah schaffer
Just don't, just don't hide.
josh lekach
And I think I wouldn't hide.
That's my thing.
Like, I wouldn't.
elijah schaffer
No, because Deuteronomy 24, 20, verse 4 talks about the fact that the Lord is the one who goes with us and that He gives us victory against our enemies.
And that's what I want to remember this.
It's not just tribulation, but it's victory.
And victory doesn't always mean, again, the same thing, like winning a battle, because winning the battle is winning a trial.
The trial is a battle.
Those are almost synonymous to many people.
I'm going through a personal battle or struggle.
I'm going through a trial.
But victory is accomplishing what God says you should accomplish in the opposition.
So, if what God says is that the way that what he wants to give you in tribulation may not be overcoming the enemy, but it is to be comfortable in the tribulation, then your victory is comfort.
And you don't want to control that because you're going, well, I don't think God's with me because I don't see the world getting better.
I don't see these things changing because God must not be real.
No, because God didn't say that he's going to, you know, unseat Joe Biden.
He didn't say that he was going to, you know, make the dollar be the petra dollar forever.
What he said is, no matter what happens, trial and tribulation, I will give you comfort.
And that's the victory is comfort.
And so right now, you're our goal, he says he will give it.
So if you trust him and he fights our enemies and gives us that victory, and that's how we win.
We're comfortable and we're fine.
Go harder.
Burn us at the stake.
And that's why you have martyrs who are literally burned alive, saying, if it's for Christ, if it's for God, if it's for what's right, then so let it be.
And I'm not joking.
This is where we're at in this moment.
And I don't think we can hide.
And I think by you not hiding, genuinely, I know Sav knows this too.
Sav, besides us being nearly perfect, there's 1% of both of us that has genuine, we have our own problems and struggles.
But I don't think that should not keep you away from, that should not keep you away from God.
Because if you want to seek to do what's right, I believe we're all getting pulled way closer to God.
And that's where the movement's headed in general.
The movement, I don't care about this whole like, whether you're Catholic or Protestant.
unidentified
Stop.
elijah schaffer
No, we are serving the one true God.
And you need to realize that He will unite us and give us victory against the common enemy.
savanah hernandez
Very true.
josh lekach
Yeah, I was just, you know, I was just listening.
I was like, yes, yes, absolutely.
There's nothing I can add to that.
savanah hernandez
No, 100%, dude.
It's a battle.
It's a fight for God.
And again, too, people think that, oh, okay, God's just going to make you successful.
It's going to be good.
And then that's it.
You get your success.
You get your victory.
And then it's one and done.
No, you have to keep pushing.
You have to keep fighting.
There's never a top of the mountain.
You know, we are in a battle and a war spiritually for this entire country.
And, you know, again, to spread God's word, just spread God's message.
So just keep pushing forward.
No matter what, God will get you through all of the trials and tribulations like you talked about.
elijah schaffer
Yeah.
And I want to leave on this John 16:33, which is saying that, you know, Christ said, I had told you that in me, Jesus Christ, that you will have trials, that you will have tribulations.
In this world, you're going to have trouble.
But you got to take heart because he's overcome the world.
And in that, he says he brings us peace.
And I always, I want to end on this because we have a few minutes left as we end this.
Asking you guys, when's the last time somebody in the world has told us that you can have peace that passes understanding down in the depths of your heart, which is what God says he gives us?
Because they say, how can you have peace?
There's literally war.
How can you have peace?
What is that comfort?
How are we comfortable?
We're comfortable because he gives us peace.
And they go, that doesn't make any sense.
You've got vices.
You've got struggles.
And I'm not saying you too, but anyone who's listening.
Yeah, you've got, yo, you know, your struggles.
Oh, I'm sure everyone listening knows you know your struggles.
So how can I have peace?
How can I have internal peace?
Well, it doesn't make sense.
It's going to pass your understanding because it's from the spirit of God in the depth of your heart.
And that's why you'll be comfortable because you're going, well, why?
He said, because I've overcome the world.
Know that in the end you win with God and that ultimately God's already conquered sin and death through the through the cross.
And so you go, I just am not living for this world.
And God promised me this would happen and I already know it's going to.
And so I'm here.
And so, you know, any, Josh, I want to give you the final word on this with people genuinely that are out there.
How can they be courageous like you?
How can they have that ability to stay calm in this?
And how can they support you?
And again, just reminding people who might have jumped in late, how can they support your work?
josh lekach
Okay, so I'm gone from Patreon.
It's all gone.
$4,000 a month is gone.
My friends actually put together, and this is an interesting thing, like the camaraderie.
Without asking, my friends who work in tech, they put up a website for me, wrongopinion.net, where you can find where my show is on Gumroad.
A lot of people don't know what that is, but wrongopinion.net is a very easy place where you can remember and go to.
And I hope you guys subscribe to the show.
But it's just, you know, I grew up with rich kids.
I don't know if this applies to what you were talking about, but I grew up with really, really wealthy people.
You're talking about the Jews own the banks.
One of them, his family owns like all of the Colombian banks, and he went to a secret society in an Ivy League university and arranged marriage with another billion, you know, billionaire family and all that.
So I know these types of people and they don't have the trials and tribulations that the average person has, but I see them as way more unhappy.
They don't have meaning in life.
And it's because everything was given to them and they have that peace and comfort without without having earned it.
You know what I mean?
You have to earn being peaceful and comfortable and happy.
And the only way you could do that is by is by experiencing all of the madness that we are experiencing.
And you have to fully embrace it and you become stronger that way.
If you have a strong body and a strong mind, there's nothing that they can throw at you that will keep you down and demoralize you.
savanah hernandez
100%.
And all I would say is, you know, keep pushing forward, keep on the right track.
And again, we are not in this for our own personal gain.
We're in this to spread God's word, spread God's message.
And if you're in this for the right reason and you're doing that, it doesn't matter what happens to you.
If you are truly just trying to tell the truth and be righteous, then you've already won.
unidentified
Awesome.
elijah schaffer
A huge thank you to the guests on today's show, Josh LaCash, Lake Ash, LaCash, LeCache.
It doesn't really matter.
josh lekach
Doesn't matter.
elijah schaffer
From the wrong opinion podcast, wrongopinion.net.
josh lekach
Thank you.
elijah schaffer
That's W-R-O-N-G-O-P-I-O-N dot N-E-T.
josh lekach
For those who are spelling be champion right here.
elijah schaffer
That is really crazy.
I know.
I know.
I still know a spell.
Make sure you support him.
Like I said, a huge reminder on the Widow's Might that supporting does not mean, and I'm challenging, I hope more people support him way beyond what I'm able to personally.
But I also know that, again, you might support him way more.
And that that doesn't just mean money.
It literally could mean you have nothing and all you can give him is your prayer, but prayers are the strongest thing right now in general.
josh lekach
DM me, say hi.
I mean, whatever.
elijah schaffer
Literally, no dick pics, though.
He's he's okay on that.
So please know some things are unwarranted and I think dickpics are always unwarranted in general.
Always.
And also to shout out to Savannah Hernandez from the Rapid Fire podcast.

If you guys would stop posting anal fisting porn and people pooping in each other's mouths because you're mad because you got trolled and you make anon accounts and you say you're traditional Catholics, but somehow you have access to fecal scat porn.
You got to confess your sins.
You got to go see a priest or something and talk to God because you may be going to hell.
Just an FYI.
This is a real thing.
Anyway, have a great rest of the week and may God bless the United States of America.
