The NRA Convention was fun! Except one thing, a reporter illegally filmed my friend and me. People are coming against us more and more every day. Why? The Left can't all be to blame, right? We talk to these gun protesters and dissect what makes them tick. This is important, because we aren't winning. We need to figure out how to win. Sometimes those on the Right will have to humble themselves and strategize in order to secure American liberty. Guests: Sara Gonzales from News and Why It Matters, Kai Clips, and Aldo Buttazoni help us unpack on the madness!

The Idea Of A Free Society...For Kids!
Head to https://teachrealprinciples.com for a unique book series that introduces the important ideas that schools no longer teach. Show less
That's not even the most important part, and we've got to let that guy catch his breath.
The night before, I was hanging out with a few friends from another YouTube channel at our hotel lobby bar.
And that's when this guy suddenly walked in at the end of the night.
I know he just looks like a normal guy, except he was exhibiting some pretty odd behavior, staring at us, and it looked like he was listening in our conversation.
That's when Aldo realized he was actually secretly recording us the entire time.
He was immediately confronted by Aldo, got scared, began to deny that he was filming us.
It was clear on his phone that he was, and then he took a seat to try to explain what he was doing.
The bar was so loud, I couldn't hear what they were saying.
Once the guy got up and left, I asked Aldo what they were talking about.
He told me that the guy was secretly recording us, admitted it, but he was from the publication Reuters.
The moment I found out he was from the mainstream media, I immediately chased him down outside and confronted him.
He was very nervous, pretended like he didn't know me, then admitted that he did know who I was, said that I was connected to Andy No, then got combative, cussed at us.
The following videos are when Aldo showed up.
unidentified
People start talking about shit and we like sit quietly and listen.
Like you do the same thing, bro.
What do I do?
What?
That's the fuck-up thing about media.
It's like we all take the same thing and we like take it and we like extrapolate on it and we go very different organizations.
Reuters journalist spied on a blaze TV reporter got caught and we'll talk about it more this Wednesday 2 p.m.
On blaze tv.com on YouTube Yeah, so this is the Wednesday 2 p.m And we've got a lot to talk about.
Welcome back to Slightly Offensive, the best worst show on Blaze TV, where we always have 8K graphics that are now hopefully going to be in 4D.
I don't know how to make this work.
Wait, how do you make this work?
Can this work?
No.
Oh, shit.
didn't work very well that was like that wasn't a very good i feel like this is like this like when you this is like after too much whiskey and you disappointed somebody That wasn't really the best confetti of color.
I left the rest at home.
It's my life.
It's a calf ass, not done well.
That's why I brought some amazing guests on the show with me today.
Kai Schwemmer, also known as Kai Clips.
He is a political commentator, live streamer, and also one of the few Gen Z voices.
He's not an asshole.
This is like, you, and people thought that we didn't have a budget.
And I said this.
I promised my mom one day, I said, I will make you proud.
She's not with us anymore.
I said, one day I will have a show with a budget that will make rural local news channels jealous.
I had one at home and we have them here, but it actually rained down.
This was more just like an eye shot.
You know, this was like one of those things where you just don't want to tell, you don't want to go home telling when you did that.
And to talk about this, the journalist, newest independent journalist, and also managing editor of the Next News Network, Aldo Budazzoni, welcome back to Slightly Offensive.
So you guys know we were at the NRA convention in Houston, Texas, which is just a few hours south.
And we went there to talk to people and to see what was going on.
Of course, the Uvalde shooting, if you haven't heard about it, then you probably are living a good life.
But if you're walking around and you're hearing about the shooting that happened, 19 children, apparently, or it was, I think it was 19 children, two adults, right, is where we're at today, were murdered in cold blood by a Latino man who used a rifle.
Now, of course, in response to this, people are angry.
People are upset.
Justin Trudeau wants to ban handguns.
Everybody's got their own opinion.
But like we do in our typical petty AF fashion here at Slightly Offensive, we like to go into the action.
We like to talk to people.
And I'm out of retirement.
And so we are going to be back on the field.
We are prepping for the elections.
And we have a lot of stuff to show you, including how a journalist tried to entrap us, spy on us using illegal tactics allegedly that we're seeing here in Texas.
We have a lot more coming up here on the show.
But first, I got to give a huge shout out to who I depend on when I'm out in the field.
So many of you guys know with everything that's going on, you know, down in the Uvalde that was happening in Chattanooga, shootings are happening all over the place.
And even last year, I was reading, we are like near record 35,000 deaths from car accidents alone.
The point of the matter is that life is unpredictable and we need to be prepared for the dangers that might come our way because too many people are just unprepared for emergencies, which is why MyMedic's goal is to empower people with the necessary skills, knowledge, and first aid supplies to save their life.
I ought to talk to you about this.
So I have a couple versions of this.
This is my travel pack.
This is my MyFact Pro, and this is something so amazing.
They can pack a lot more in this than you would even understand.
This comes with over 100 quality first aid and trauma supplies, including a tourniquet, chest seals, quick clot, and more.
And with this kit, you'll be prepared to treat everything from basic cuts to a gunshot wound.
And here's the most important part.
It is built in the United States and it's guaranteed for life.
Not even marriage is guaranteed for life.
Nothing really, I mean, besides this, right?
I don't go out in the field without one.
I always keep one in the back of my car.
I keep one with me.
Go to mymedic.com, M-Y-M-E-D-I-C.com.
You get 15% off the MyFact Pro plus a life-saving online course, absolutely free with the promo code offensive.
I have like an actual one that's actually a lot bigger, but it's amazing.
So let's talk about this.
So obviously, if you guys know this, I just want to make sure, Gay Tupac, you can see my screen.
Fine, we're good here, yes.
Okay, so, you know, we went to the NRA convention, and I just want to say, why did we go?
Well, the reason why we had to go is, you know, people were putting from NBC up online that, you know, after Ovalde shooting, we went to the NRA convention and there were guns, which is a shocker.
I want to say I was shocked too.
I went to the grocery store.
I found groceries.
I went to a, literally, I saw kids at a school.
I mean, isn't this the world has gone pretty crazy?
The fact that we are shocked that we were able to find guns and they acted like they survived.
They're like, I survived.
It's bullshit.
But look at this.
So I just went ahead and post this just so you guys know.
I said, I went to the NRA convention the same weekend that five people were murdered and 23 were shot in Chicago.
Just reminding you that with Al Valdez being a terrible tragedy, not wanting to make light of Chicago has a lot on that every day.
And I said, I spoke to the guns.
I asked them to stop the violence.
And remember, you have to use a good tone because they do get a little bit fidgety.
I saw the photo and I thought that that was a microphone.
And then I zoomed in on the phone.
It's like, oh, well, wait a minute.
This is really dangerous work on the front lines.
And of course, we'll probably get to this in just a minute.
There was even more of a threat.
So we'll find out.
You're being found in the crosshairs of everybody, not just the guns, the random guns that are going out and committing mass acts of violence, but also some of the not-so-nice people on the other side, outside.
I clutched my pearls every time they did it last week.
I, you know, it's interesting because I, you talk about the, the, they all commonly refer to it as a gun show loophole.
The gun show loophole.
We have to eliminate the gun show loophole.
I can't believe it's easier to buy an AR-15 than it is to get an abortion or whatever the hell analogy they want to use.
And it's like, guys, I mean, I had someone over the weekend tell me that, well, Texas doesn't run background checks.
And I'm like, none of these things are true.
None of these things are true.
But they're hearing from every town and they're hearing from all of these organizations that parrot these same bullshit talking points and they think that they know what they're talking about.
And it's really frustrating as someone who not only, as you pointed out, runs a news show and has to dispel all of these rumors, but also as a gun owner, as a mom, as someone who wants to protect my family, it's very frustrating to hear almost, it feels like almost half the country get everything so completely wrong when it comes to firearms.
The discussion right after Uvalde, they used a rifle.
And I know we always hear about the AR-15, the military style, the assault style.
Nobody knows what that means.
Nobody knows what they're talking about.
But now the conversation switched where you have people like Biden and Justin Trudeau, which is not coincidence.
Remember, this is never a coincidence.
When you have two bitches talking about the same thing with guns, this is not an accident.
And Biden is saying, hey, we need to actually hit on the caliber of guns.
We need to get rid of nine millimeters.
We need to work on handguns.
Now, everybody knows, well, it's true.
Most mass shootings do take place with handguns, which may be the first time I've heard an honest discussion about mass shootings and majority of gang violence does.
It's also true that the number one choice for women for self-protection defense is a handgun.
And to me, this is not because the firearms that are being used, the handguns in crimes, specifically in mass shootings, a lot of times are either acquired just legally or they're acquired illegally.
It doesn't really matter.
This is about keeping women unsafe.
This is about taking protection away from individuals and about leaving us vulnerable in a position where we can die.
Yeah, that's an interesting thing and certainly the most poignant argument, which is that, sure, mass shootings may be committed with an AR or something else, a long gun or a rifle, a shotgun, even in some cases.
But I would be surprised if not over 99% of times that a mass shooting was stopped, that was stopped by a handgun.
Every single time in recent memory, that you either have a man in a church who stops an active shooter, or you have a random civilian or somebody carrying a gun.
They're not carrying an AR-15.
They're carrying a handgun.
So to go after that is the most poignant way of disarming the American population because those are the people and those are the kind of guns that they carry that they use to stop actual terrorists and people who seek to commit crimes.
And the idea, I mean, I was just talking about this last week that, you know, Adam Kinzinger, who I wouldn't necessarily call a conservative, he calls himself a Republican for whatever that's worth.
But he started talking about, well, we need common sense.
You know, we need to raise the age to 21.
And it's like, you can't, you cannot compromise one freaking iota with these people because they do not, they don't, their entire argument is in such bad faith that you can't compromise with them.
No, I'm not going to compromise to 21 because you also think that kids can change their gender at three.
You also want 16-year-olds to vote, but now you're saying people aren't mature enough until they're 21.
It's just their entire argument is completely disingenuous.
I mean, this, you know, and they got the no hate on the Hawaiian t-shirt, but it says, you know, for the blind viewers, remember, this is an audio-only podcast.
Don't forget to download it on Spotify, on iTunes, wherever you can get it.
And don't forget right now to smash the like button and subscribe to this YouTube channel.
If you're not subscribed, what the hell are you doing?
I don't know.
If you, you are pro-NRA protesters.
You want guns to be taken away.
If you do not subscribe to this channel, you are anti-Second Amendment.
It doesn't make sense, but nothing does in 2022.
So let's just add this to the list.
But this person, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl.
I think it's a girl, says your penis extender is a life ender.
And I just said, hey, what the hell does that mean?
Your penis extender is a life ender.
And they were like, well, this is like, because this is like people are trying to compensate basically for small penises.
This is their big dick kind of energy.
And I thought, this doesn't make any sense because, like you said, it's the great equalizer.
Weak people are not the people using guns.
It's actually people who want to preemptively be in a position of defense.
I don't feel like many of these people even understood firearms or even knew what they were talking about.
The Hawaiian shirt does not belong on somebody who is not, you know, looking like me, mullet, mustache, everything else.
The poster, of course, in the hands of a 16-year-old who couldn't tell you the first thing about guns and a mask outside.
I mean, everything is just totally out of place in the picture, but that's how it goes.
It's seeking to normalize behavior and actions, which are totally out of the realm of normalcy, so that you see them so often, you start to think they're okay.
And Sarah's completely right.
There's no compromise on any of that.
The moment you start thinking that this is like normal or okay or, well, I'll get over it, is the moment you ceded ground to them.
It's like the people that come out first and the strongest against guns and, you know, the talk about banning guns are usually after these tragedies are usually the people that have the least amount of experience with guns, that have never shot a gun in their life, that have never been around guns, that haven't gone through proper gun safety training.
So I think it's ridiculous that these people come out so strongly against guns when they have no experience.
And I talked to a lot of people that were more honest.
I talked to one young man that was a Houston local, his name was August, and I asked him about legislation that he thought that he needed to be passed.
And at least he was honest.
He just told me, you know what, I don't know about legislation, but we're just here for community involvement and to get the community together.
And I think that that's a completely reasonable thing to say.
He was picked apart in the comments, which I thought was a little not cool.
I don't like that because I was going to say this, that people always accuse, and we're going to look at the people that I want to make fun of on Friday show with Dave Landau.
But I'm not there to make fun of people.
And what I noticed is a lot of people will write, they find the video and they're like, you made me look dumb.
And I'm like, honey, you know, I feel like I'm that fat black woman at a diner, you know, in like the 1990s.
Like, honey, listen to me.
unidentified
Sugar.
Sugar, I'm telling you, you need some milk, you know, like you need some help.
So you got that kind of stuff too, the more emerging people independent stuff that's going on.
But they always come for our one thing, right?
They're always like, you can't have anything.
Like you're not allowed to exist anywhere.
Even if you have a Boy Scouts, like we're not even saying not to have queers and trans.
We want just one thing.
Give us one place to exist.
Give us our one lobby.
And they're like, you're not allowed to compete.
You are not allowed to be on our same level.
And an exact example of this is we're talking about unfair and unequal things.
You guys all know we are not allowed to call for violence on the internet at all on any site possible.
In fact, unless it's, of course, against the Russians, which we can say Zelensky bombed the shit out of the Russians and blow them up and win for, you know, whatever it's called.
What's it called?
Viva Ukraine?
No, that's Mexican.
Slava Ukraine.
Slava Ukraine.
I can call for violence against Russians because they're selective on who you can call for violence against.
And then, you know, there was kind of the diverging path.
You had Leafy, which was like the politically incorrect making fun of people kind of commentary.
And he got deleted off YouTube, I believe it was last year.
And then Ethan Klein has stuck around and, of course, is in cahoots with, you know, Susan Mojicki and everybody who's at YouTube.
And you have this guy who gets a strike on his channel, that's all, for saying, oh, there's a protest happening right now in Texas, and somebody should bomb them.
Okay, so I know I blasted that video very quickly, and some other people, I want to give a shout out to Ashley St. Clair, post-millennial, Mike Cernovich, and Jack Pasobic, amongst a few others, who were helping to amplify that.
I think we might, we might, I don't know.
We have hundreds of thousands, maybe a million views on that video already, getting that out very quickly.
And, you know, yes, we do coordinate.
Just so you know, to the left, to everyone out there, even deaf noodles or people, we coordinate and you're not safe.
Like, and I mean, they're not physically unsafe, but on the internet, we're not letting you have this sort of like shield anymore.
We're going to hold you accountable.
And we have to put these things out because that's all they do to us.
They always take our videos.
Now, here's the point.
I don't want to talk about this.
Everybody's saying that we took him out of context because he walked back the statement.
And so, before we even talk about this, I want to play the full clip just to be fair, quote unquote, on what was actually said.
And I want to discuss this because he got a strike for bullying and harassment, and he got suspended for a week.
Remember this.
Many people, including people with over 5 million subscribers, or Alex Jones, have been suspended or completely deleted for just making the community unsafe without any actual evidence of what they did or any pure reasoning.
This man called for a terroristic attack.
You tell me whether you think we took him out of context or whether he realized he effed up and he needed to correct himself and his producers were freaking out.
Unfortunately, it was live.
Let's play video two, the full clip.
unidentified
I know what to do, and I feel hopeless.
I feel like there's zero hope.
Yeah, I don't know.
I was wondering.
So there was a big protest outside the NRA meeting, which was good.
Do we have any insight into what they're actually talking about there at the NRA meeting that's today in Texas?
And then the guy who heard, like, because you don't, because gating, because you can hear, I know what he was saying, like, no, he was trying to talk to his producer.
It's called gating.
If you're not familiar with sound, it blocks out the side voices and frequencies.
And so he was like, no, like, yo, we got to walk this back.
And then he laughs because he realizes it's that nervous laugh.
I don't understand what the point.
I'm not, and everyone's calling us a crybaby, which we'll get into.
I'm just trying to say, if I were to say something like that, whether it was a trans convention, the socialist convention of America, and call for a terroristic, explosatory bombing of something, I don't believe I would be on YouTube today.
Simultaneously, by the way, it's so funny how these things time up.
Speaking of other fat gay people who also do internet content, Vausch, this very prominent and dysgenic creator on the left, basically said the same thing.
And he had zero repercussions.
In fact, he defended it on streams afterward.
He said, well, we need the left to, you know, have guns and to train with them.
So the next time that Trump supporters, when their cities are on fire during protests, are driving around making sure that they're not attacked, you know, just literally holding guns, exercising their Second Amendment rights, he said, and I quote, and we don't have the clip for it right now, but you can go and look at it, not out of context.
He spent the stream defending the comments.
He said, so that we can fire down at them from apartment buildings with those guns.
And there's no repercussions.
There's no consequences because if you dehumanize your political opposition, any violence against them is tolerated.
The most you'll get is a slap on the wrist.
And a week later, Susan Wojski is going to write Ethan Klein back and say, hey, we saw your silly, goofy comments, and it'll be all good.
Like, think about that bias, though, in the restriction of speech in regard to the gun control argument.
As soon as people start talking about banning weapons and gun control, I immediately hear from the right about, well, we need our guns to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government.
The tyrannical government is already here, and guns clearly didn't protect it from us.
They're restricting our free speech.
In Canada, you saw Trudeau freeze bank accounts for citizens that just donated five or $10 to a trucker convoy, and they're singing and dancing in the streets, holding hands.
That is the tyrannical government, and they're already here.
And so I think that that needs to be talked about more about how clearly the guns aren't saving us from all the tyrannical things that the government are already doing.
I'm feeling pretty positive in my life because I think I'm exiting.
It's sort of like a bipolar political approach that I have where I kind of go from the white pill to the black pill.
And I think it's a good balance, right?
Where you kind of like, you're just popping different pills depending on what it is.
It's a whiskey night or a vodka night type of thing.
And so it's like, you know, it's been a little bit of doom and gloom in here and slightly offensive.
We're planning on looking at things a little more positively.
I'm coming into an approach to where I'm realizing I've blocked out a lot of negative people.
I've cut down my circle.
I've been relieved from things.
Yeah, there you go.
And I'm feeling confident.
I'm feeling strong.
And part of that is because I'm back to ridiculing and bullying shit liberals on the internet, which I'm really happy for.
It's really brought back the life into me.
And we're going to cover that a lot with Dave Landau.
And I'm really happy about it.
No, because it's like, I'm back to my way I was designed.
I always tell people, people get worried about me, but actually the way I enjoy life is a place where most people would be worried about themselves.
But for me, I'm totally on board.
And because happiness is a choice.
It really is a choice of how you approach life.
It's mind over matter because if you don't mind, then it doesn't matter.
And so you have to learn to just go with it.
And I've learned that life isn't going to get better.
Life is going to continue to get worse per se outside.
Prices are going to go up.
The country's going to collapse.
These kind of things are happening.
However, we can choose to be a constant source of foundation for people, a light salt in the world of people who like, it's like being on a roller coaster, right?
It might be a little bumpy or playing with turbulence, but we don't want to be the ones screaming in the back, making it worse.
Let's have a good time.
Let's ride this through and realize that eventually, because if you believe in God, then when you die, you go to heaven.
We always land safely.
Even in death, we land safely.
So it's like kind of this beautiful arc that we're in.
And I'm feeling so much energy.
I have so much creativity.
And I want to give a huge shout out to somebody who's also trying to take life by the horns here and do something good for the world.
That's Patriot Mobile.
Obviously, you guys know it's Pride Month is here, I guess, or something like that.
And so everything's gay and weird and everything's woke.
And it's just, it's a strange world that we live in.
Why do you support companies that don't support you?
Patriot Mobile is a cell phone carrier that not only uses the main towers that give you the exact service that you would get with any of the major providers, but they also have plans to fit any budget.
They're 100% US-based.
So you're not going to get this like weird support team.
It's like, how do I start?
And you're not going to, they're going to actually like support you and give you what you need, which is to actually, for many of you guys know, you know, you may have your parents, anybody's looking for a cell phone, maybe yourself, you're looking to cut off these, these companies that hate you.
Their customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
Their cell phone service is quick and support a company that loves America, loves you, and shares your values.
If a lot of you guys have been looking to switch your phones today, maybe you're paying too much and you want to get a better advice.

But I was saying with, so that's what I'm saying, with the positivity and moving the direction is that, I feel like there is this moment.
I don't know.
Do we have this image here, GT, of what happened?
So we brought this to the attention of Susan Wojecki.
We were like, hey, you know, we're really sick and tired of us getting in trouble.
We question an election or something like that, and you literally get your channel deleted.
You get taken off the internet for asking questions about elections, not even violence.
It's just, I want to know something.
And we're seeing with 2,000 mules and things, people are getting arrested right now for the very things that we're not allowed to say happened because they happened and they're going to jail for them, but we can't say they happened because then they didn't want us to.
But you literally call for a bombing of a place and everybody starts defending you.
Let's bring this up.
So just to bring this up, Keemstar brought up that why was Leafy here?
5 million subs YouTube channel banned for bullying, but Ethan Klein calls for terrorist attacks on U.S. soil and only gets a YouTube strike.
Something is not right.
And this is not political YouTube.
It says here the social media platforms finally took note of these concerns and took down the original podcast episode citing that it violated YouTube's policy of harassment and bullying.
Klein was also given a strike and banned from the platform for a week.
Remember that when you were in remember when you were in junior high, Kai, and like you would, I remember I got in trouble for like bullying once because I told my teacher that I was going to bomb the school.
And so I got a detention for threatening to bomb my, for calling a bomb threat.
So there was an Oktoberfest that I was at and a really upset girlfriend called in a bomb threat because her boyfriend was spending the day up there, I don't know, drinking beer with the pals.
And it ended up getting locked down.
And I think she got charged with like a felony.
It's like during COVID when people were coughing and then they're like bringing the book down.
Like, you're going to, you know, go to jail for it being a biohazard.
I'm so sorry, but you literally just brought a great transition here.
Speaking of non-threatening males, there's a journalist for Reuters.
I don't know if you saw the beginning intro video, which we're talking about.
Obviously, this was the intro to this.
We're going to get to all of the clips and what was happening at the protest outside.
But something really important happened.
And, you know, I'm just, I'm not taking shit anymore.
Like, and I've told this to multiple journalists, to people.
I'm going to fight back with fire, with fire.
And, you know, and maybe you can judge me.
That's totally fine.
But I am so sick and tired of pretending like we're at a place of disadvantage or weakness.
We are only there if we accept it.
Many wars are fought through morale.
That's what propaganda is.
It's literally propaganda is not made so that the person producing it has morale to fight the war.
It's to discourage those predominantly who you are fighting.
And many battles, many, many wars have been won with forces less equipped, with amount of troops to be in much smaller quantity simply because the opposite team did not have the correct information and did not believe that they could win a war that they could.
And so these left-wing people are not going to win.
They're pathetic imbeciles and losers.
And when we arrived, just so you know, clarify, this is at the NRA convention hotel.
I would say this is the NRA convention.
They're connected.
And this is where everybody goes to hang out, grab some food and drink as the convention is ending.
It's about six o'clock.
So my buddy here, Aldo, again, he's an independent journalist.
You follow him on Twitter.
Make sure you follow everybody here in the description.
You can find all their streaming sites and their YouTube pages and places where you can follow them.
We went down to get dinner.
Now, when this guy walked in, who we didn't know at the time, he was a silly looking dude.
I'm going to be like, he was a silly looking guy.
He stood out in the group.
And I'm going to say, if you're trying to blend in, wearing a sort of a loud shirt, thick glasses, having a giant fro, sweaty, you know, these are not the exact like covert operative priorities that I would take when I'm putting on an outfit.
But we weren't the ones who noticed him.
It was actually, we were with some YouTubers who I'm not going to mention.
Very big YouTube channel, very successful people outside of politics, in fact.
They're not even conservatives.
They're not right-wing.
They were there, unironically, probably to make fun of the people at the NRA.
I just saw him hand him the card and they were sitting there.
But let's just start break this down for a second.
You have a Reuters journalist, which I will say was associating with individuals at the bar.
I'm not blaming him for this who did sexually harass me.
When I went up to the bar to grab a drink, and this is, I have text messages while it was happening.
I go to get a bar, a drink at the bar for the table.
They were really cool guys.
I was like, let me buy you guys all a drink.
So I went up there.
You couldn't get up to the front of the bar.
And they're very straight-looking guys.
We're like, just this older guy was like, hey, you can come squeeze between us to get a drink.
Like right here, I'll take, like, come here.
I thought he was just like a nice, like, NRA guy.
And, and I kid you not.
I was even texting Desaya, my producer, too.
Like, I can't believe this is happening right now.
I'm sitting there and the guy's like, oh, hey, you're handsome.
And I was like, oh, thank you.
Like, I just was like, I don't care if someone's gay.
It doesn't bother me.
Just, oh, thank you, man.
And then they proceeded to get like graphic.
Like, how big do you think his cock is between his friend?
And like, would you want to take him home to the room?
Like, yeah, I bet he's got a big cock.
And like, I'm standing there and I replace the order and I'm going, is this what it feels like to be a 10 out of 10 chicken in like a bar or something like that?
Except it's like 65 year old, like gay, fat dudes.
And I'm just standing there going, dude, there are people like talking about my cock at the bar.
And I'm like waiting for the drinks because there's no way you're going to get back in.
And I'm like, and then the guy's like hand swipes against my butt and stuff like that.
And the guy stand, this guy.
This journalist was standing right next to them talking with them.
But he denied that he's associated with them.
I would have too, though, because I mean, if I was going to commit sex crimes in a public place, I wouldn't want to be associated with those people either.
Well, I'm wondering if, because when I came out as gay the other day, I was married to Ethan Ralph, which was a big moment of mine, and we announced our marriage, a lot of people thought, didn't know that was a joke because it's not.
We were legitimately married.
So, so, but I mean, like, that was a public thing.
And he did some research.
So I'm wondering, I was thinking, because they were like, hey, you want to come back to the room?
If this was like a gay honeypot thing where they were like trying to get you into a compromising position.
Unfortunately for them, there's only one morbidly obese white man that I find attractive.
I'm not actually gay.
I'm Ethan sexual.
And that's a difference, right?
So I'm attracted to, I like the front butt particularly.
My men need to be beat up in other countries in order for me to like them.
But I mean this in a genuine heart.
That's what I'm considering because also when he came over, he said, you're in association with Andy No, who's homosexual?
And so they must have thought, oh, yeah, he just was like gay.
And like they did, I think they were really honeypotting.
And then they were filming.
And Texas is a single party consent law, which means you can't secretly film some conversation that you're not a part of.
Yes, but you can't secretly record from an off position the audio of somebody's contents of their conversation unless they know that you're somehow talking to them.
So I think that the left did some weird smear the queer gay shit and then came out realizing my heart belongs to one man and one man only.
And then when we sat down, they tried to go the next step and then Aldo got his shit.
No, Veritas has recordings of conversations they're involved in, which is not illegal.
I would say if you're doing it for any other reason than for an investigation on something you believe is a legal activity, that's shitty.
Like if you're just like with your friends and you're secretly recording them so you can get dirt on your friends, like you are not a good person.
And I don't, like, I don't like any of that stuff.
The Madison Cawthorne, your friend filming you being weird.
I hate, I literally hate it.
But obviously, if like Twitter is committing crimes, doing things illegal, making spam bots, et cetera, and then you're recording them in a conversation that they came to using a hot woman or whatever Veritas does, that's different.
This is somebody who got caught intoxicated, illegally spying on a conversation because why, although he denied it, he thought we were connected to Andy.
No, I believe, I don't know, accuse him of this, that they did try something strange before.
And I want to say this as a gay honeypot, I know you got to go in a second, but as a gay honeypot, it might not be because they were actually trying to get me to do something gay with them.
It might have been that they are trying to get me to be like, shut up, F-A-G-G-O-C.
You're like, yeah.
Like, I don't, like, they were trying to maybe trigger me because they were harassing me sexually.
So they were trying to get a response so that we could get into an altercation or something.
And that's where the mainstream media has gotten down to.
They're spying in hotel bars, trying to get people in compromising situations.
This is how lowbrow Reuters, the fact-checking organization, have gone.
Unfortunately, I'm a better fact-checker.
I just wanted to say that.
No, I mean that as a genuine thing.
And I don't know.
What are your thoughts?
I mean, I feel like this is, they're exposed doing some bad things.
And he left.
He said he was there all weekend that night.
Then suddenly the next day, he's like, sorry, I'm being sent on assignment out of here.
The copy of the colours, actually, to be perfectly clear, I wasn't even the one asking the question.
I was just recording in a public place at a public event where people were like, I was filming a public conversation.
I wasn't even, I wasn't harassing, I wasn't disrupting, I wasn't doing any of that.
And I had to, people don't know this, I had to actually like I walked through the line and had to wait in line to touch that dude's hand and shake his hand and take a picture.
I needed 10 showers after that, so I invested all of that time and they still kicked me out.
I got assaulted by the staffer, I got assaulted by the police just for literally standing there silently.
But yeah, I mean, look, when you're in cahoots with law enforcement, you're in cahoots with the left, you're in cahoots with the Democrats who run these cities, who run these places, it's no surprise that the media just continues to get away with stuff like this.
Well, we love Sarah, but of course, we have a new guest I'll introduce in just a second as we get into the craziness and the madness at the NRA counter protest and just talk about how weird the world has become.
Not just to make fun of people, because it's not, we're not here to like mock them.
It's just here's who they are.
And then there's some people who have really good arguments, which we're going to talk about.
This is a serious situation.
It's not here to make light of it, but it's here to be real and honest with you guys as always, which is why you need to know that, you know, as inflation rises, as a stock market crashes, as crypto has a little bit of a recovery, but it's been trading sideways.
You never know what's going to happen every day.
You never know how to invest your money.
And you want to diversify your portfolio.
Like I said, things get better and worse, which is why you should check out in gold and silver using Birch Gold, which is a group that is a trusted leader and proudly celebrated by our customers, the industry, and the major media leaders alike.
Thanks to a little-known section of the IRS tax code, you can actually legally move your IRA or 401k into precious metals.
It's kind of crazy to think about, but it's true.
There's literally no tax implications or penalties at all, period.
To get started on protecting your savings with gold in a tax-sheltered account, request a free info kit from Birch Gold by texting the word offensive, OFF, E-N-S-IVE, to 989-898.
That's offensive to 989-898.
Because my dad says, I speak way too fast.
It's offensive to 989898.
There you go.
This comprehensive 20-page kit reveals how gold and silver can protect your savings and how you can move your IRA or 401k out of a volatile stock in bonds and into precious metals IRA.
There's zero cost, zero obligation to request this info kit.
So why wait?
Text offensive to the number 989-898.
Again, request this free info kit on gold now by texting offensive to 989-898.
Check it out today.
I don't know why you wouldn't text it and just get a free info kit.
It's literally a free info kit, and it's a great way to check it out.
Don't pay for weird people's courses or all these things.
Just get the free info kit.
Text offensive to 989-898.
And we are back talking about the counter-protest.
If we can go ahead and play video number three, it is exactly what you would expect.
unidentified
Brainwashed by the end heartbreak.
You care about gun rights and gun owners.
You might care about the people being murdered with guns.
I feel like this POV, I mean, there's like, guys, seriously, we're not, you can get that kind of action insights that God wouldn't be proud of.
We're the only people who blast COC in your face, and yet God is okay with it.
What's confetti of color, by the way?
You know, we're always trying to be selective and trying to be supportive because obviously you are a person of color and we want to make sure the confetti reflects the diversity of our guests.
Yeah, so I was actually supposed to be covering the border.
I was supposed to meet up with some of the other field correspondents with Jorge Ventura from the Daily Caller, Julio Rosas from Town Hall Media.
And we were waiting for Title 42.
We're waiting for Title 42 to be possibly repealed.
And then it did not.
So we ended up kind of pushing back a little bit our trip over to the border.
But I ended up meeting with Jorge Ventura on Friday.
Well, actually, I flew into Houston to the NRA convention because I knew that Francis Robert, also known as Beto O'Rourke, not a lot of people know that, by the way, Francois.
Yeah, Francois.
Francois Roberto.
He was planning this rally.
I kind of felt like it was what awful timing to just kind of be fundraising, you know, and kind of playing on people's emotions so quick right after the tragedy.
And I mean, this is what we talk about with like lifting weights and whatnot.
It's about the physical appearance.
And you look at Beto O'Rourke.
That's not a leader, okay?
Like he can't lead himself to exercise, to eat good food, anything like that.
And you see it.
It's a sickly kind of appearance.
He looks like a skeleton.
You played Skyrim.
He looks like one of those draugar, like the zombies.
And those kind of people can't lead.
You look at Trump.
This is a figure, kind of like lion's mane of hair.
And, you know, younger guys and all of us in the room, of course, we lift weights so that people understand we take care of ourselves.
But this guy is going to tell you that he can run what guns you're allowed to have.
He's going to run your state.
He's going to run your life.
And yet he can't run his own.
So anybody who can't show themselves as a positive example of taking care of themselves shouldn't be put in a position of power where they are set to take care of anything.
Can you go ahead and I don't know if we can play these out of order.
Can you play video number seven for me?
If you didn't see the whole video, it's so funny that people that are talking about guns and talking about the idea that people need them because of their own physical weakness, you would expect them like Mark Loebliner, maybe being out there, who's a guest.
You should check him out.
He'll be back talking about guns being a sign of weakness.
I might listen.
I don't believe it.
I'm not going to take it.
I'm not going to take it at its will, but I'll listen to a dude that looks like he can defend himself, talk about the need maybe to defend yourself before you rely on a gun.
That's a good argument.
Like, learn self-defense that you can just de-escalate a situation without having to involve firearms.
Or you can be this guy who I swear to, I swear, I thought this was a commercial for instant noodles and then I realized it was just his arms.
Let's watch this.
unidentified
You're weak.
You're weak.
You'll always be weak.
You need a gun because you're boy because your voice is small.
At least with Grower Gang, guys, I mean, like, we always talk about this.
I mean, being in micro PP gang over here at Groger Gang, at least there is some growth that can happen when you need it.
His arms, like, it's like, I mean, the guys, the girth on those arms is just something like he's essentially got Asian arms, if you know what I'm saying.
You're obviously like, you're genuinely a correspondent.
You work for the news.
I've seen you been interviewing everybody from Arjur Taylor Greene to individuals, politicians, and you're out there.
But it's like the people that are the most unhinged, they're the most radically out there.
Oftentimes, there's something disassociative on their visage.
Like they look like they don't have good mental health.
And by their behavior, it's like, dude, if you wanted a solution, I don't think screaming at a building in a cracking voice is like probably the best solution to protecting children.
If you guys head on over to like my Twitter or if you guys go to my Instagram at inform with Anthony or on Twitter, just my name, Anthony Cabassa at Anthony Cabassa.
I actually even interviewed a guy that's running for that district out in Houston.
And he was talking about some of the gun laws that he wants to propose in order to make change.
You know, he's like, you know, I'm running for Congress.
This is what I would like to propose.
And he was like listing all these things, like, you know, like universal background check.
I'm like, okay, well, the shooter had a background check.
You know, they should be able to, you know, X, Y, and Z.
And so like when he went through that list, I kind of just rebutted a little bit.
I'm like, you know, sir, with all due respect, everything you just listed would have not stopped a shooter.
And he kind of just like reflected a bit and he's like, you know, you're right.
And I'm just like, oh, wow.
Like, and you're running for Congress and it's like, you want these gun laws, but none of those would have stopped that shooter at Uvalde.
You know, it's totally a feelings of inferiority thing.
So when we dive into like the actual psychology of the people at these protests or leftists in general, they can't exact control over their own lives, which is why they are hell-bent on controlling yours.
They know that they are too weak to really have that optimistic outlook that you talked about.
And if they're always taking the black pill, if they're always pessimistic and they're in a state of physical and spiritual weakness, they're going to seek either to lash out or exact some control over other people.
And that's what they're doing.
That's exactly what they want is they want to pass legislation, do something, do anything.
You hear that all the time, even if it makes no change whatsoever to prove something to themselves, I guess.
And then some of my friends who are still friends with me, there's very few left, but some of them would get messages like, are you still friends with Kai Schwemmer?
They're like, did you know he doesn't support abortion?
Like, oh, whoa, what a crazy opinion that half the population has or more.
But after about a week, all dies down.
After that little protest, after everybody, you know, does chants and walks around circles.
And after the white liberal men say, you know what, I'm here, but my voice isn't the one that needs to be heard.
Like, it's like, let's just throw meritocracy out the window.
Let's bring the disabled trans black woman to the front.
And it's like, you know what?
Maybe the trans person does have a good thing to say.
But it's like, wheel on over here, buddy.
And then they come over and it's like, you know, before I'm about to tip you over, tell me why I shouldn't.
And, you know, and unfortunately enough, it's like, I feel really bad for society because in these situations, it is the crazy people who get put to the front.
And we get accused.
And I'm sure you get accused of this, Anthony, all the time of like, well, you're looking for crazy people.
It's like, no, no, no, you don't look for them.
That is a lot of the people that are doing something that are out there are extremely unbalanced.
I'm going to jump to you after this video.
This is a good example.
And as Fleck has pointed out, as we watch this video, it's titled Enough is Enough, N-A-A-N-U-F-F, Enough.
Like, this is just so intense.
Like, these are the people that are the activists.
And if you ask yourself in America why things are problematic, it's because most Americans go, I just want to drink my IPA, sit at the bar.
I want to hang out.
I want to ignore things.
You know, millennials made a career out of distracting themselves with collecting things that don't matter as the world collapses around them.
And we sit there and we're like, why is the world crazy?
Well, because the normal average people, and I don't mean normal, I mean just the threshold of people who think well, don't want to get involved.
And they leave the involvement up to the most insane lunatic people on both sides and wonder why nothing progresses.
Because these are the people that you let speak for you.
That was probably one of like the more crazy, ridiculous ones I saw.
I mean, this guy was yelling to the point of exhaustion.
And I mean, I mean, you know, I'm from California.
I come from dry heat.
So I'm not used to like this Houston humidity and stuff.
And I mean, I'm carrying my backpack and stuff.
Even that, I don't get that, you know, winded.
But you're absolutely right.
I get accused of that all the time.
And even with like, you know, especially when it comes to reporting things like Uvalde, I was just there.
I try to be as objective as I can.
I point the camera.
I let the people speak for themselves.
And I'm like, look, this is what they had to say.
And I mean, already it's like the conspiracies.
You're like, oh, you know, I got like a comment.
Just objective reporting.
Just this is her name.
This is what she has to say.
Thank you for viewing.
And I get like comments under those videos that say, wow, I didn't know Anthony was like a paid CIA operative to like, you know, make the cops look good or something because the person that I interviewed just happened to say, I don't understand why people are saying cops didn't do anything.
They were saving teachers.
I actually spoke to one teacher whose life was saved by a Uvalde local police officer.
She's like, you know, I don't know why I keep hearing from the news or local media trying to interview me as a teacher that the cops just didn't do anything for 40 minutes.
I'm like, well, there's a lot of headlines out there that do say that.
And she's like, but that's not true.
Like they need to know that this isn't that.
I'm like, well, that's great.
And, you know, thank you for sharing your story.
I'm here to interview exactly what you're saying.
And so when I posted that clip of this teacher that said that Uvalde local police were actually rescuing children the entire time, then I got so many messages from people saying like, wow, so you're just, you interviewed a crisis actor who's probably not even from the school to make the police look good.
So now you're covering for police, huh?
Okay, bootlicker.
And I'm just like, wow, man, like, this is a teacher.
And like, you can look her up.
I'm like, I did my due diligence.
I made sure.
I went to the school website before I posted that video.
I'm like, I want to make sure she is a teacher.
And I mean, you can see her face.
It says six years.
Her daughter was there.
Her family was there.
I'm like, dude, this doesn't look like a crisis actor to me.
I'm just posting objectively what I see.
I'm not saying believe only me or my side of things, but look at all different angles, look at different reports, and then make up your mind.
But to accuse people, like you said, being accused of like, oh, you're editing that to make them look bad.
I can't tell you how many of those interviews I have all the time.
I mean, you ask people simple questions, simple questions like, okay, sure, you're for gun laws, but then what do you think about this?
You're like even new to the field because obviously you're working be more, you were working more behind the scenes on the managing side of news stories for next news.
But now you're going out and you're reporting.
People can support you on Twitter.
I think it's just Aldo Budazzoni in the thing.
Your name is your handle.
Like, so is mine.
It's like, I'm Elijah Schaefer.
I'm not, I'm not an anonymous account.
It's who I am.
Of course, I have to be a little low-key on the field just because of the targeting that does go on.
But it's like you have just a normal interview with a guy.
People comment and then they hold you accountable for the way it's perceived.
And this is like, because this is where I don't make friends because it's like, obviously, the brunt of the shit that I get from people is the left wing in this instance, right?
These like freaking idiots.
Nick Martin, if you're watching this, your roast is coming Friday with comedians.
These very comedians that you got offended by because he's anti-suckle gang, but hey, when you got titties yourself, you might be against other people's.
But I will say, is it like both sides do this?
Where like I walked in and there's this guy at a gun booth and he was like, hey, I really like what you guys are doing.
And you'll find this, Anthony, probably too.
He's like, I love all of you guys on the ground and what you're doing, everything.
It's really good.
And they see it's a collaborative effort.
And then it's like other guy walks over and I'm, and I have to be honest, because he's a nice.
And if he's watching this, you know, he just looks like, you know, the typical Midwesterner type of guy.
And he's like, yeah, all those guys out there are paid by Soros, you know?
And like, they're like, dude, you saying that is the equivalent of the right wing being like, oh, every, I mean, the left wing, like, everybody's your QAnon.
It's like, dude, let's be honest.
People really do care about this.
And people did fly out and they're not funded by Soros.
Yes, a sustained effort like 2020, you really do have to question where the funding, the financing is.
When we exposed money coming in to Portland rioters, et cetera, people that didn't work having supplies and vans, et cetera.
Those are real questions we've got to ask.
And I don't want to be this like neocon guy who's like, oh, it's just all random.
No, no, no, no.
It is coordinated as an attack.
But it's like the fact that the other sides just like dismiss each other, right?
Everyone in the NRA wants to see kids killed.
Everybody that's protesting is a George Soros-funded plant.
Like, let's just be honest.
It's like we oversimplify.
We write each other off.
And I'm tired of trying to police either side.
It's like, I'm not working for either side.
I'm working for the truth.
And unfortunately, when you speak the truth, you don't make any friends.
This is something, you know, I'm a conservative myself.
When it comes to reporting, I'm so objective, people don't know that I'm like this Christian conservative guy.
And that's good because you keep people guessing.
It's like, well, he's just reporting, right?
But you touched on something so important where people say, oh, these are all just paid actors.
These are all just paid Soros guys.
Soros has said, and like you said, maybe to some degree, maybe there are some like activists or leaders or people with large pages that they pay, like, hey, can you please advertise this thing?
But, you know, although you were talking about it where you talked from this lady from Maine that spent thousands of dollars, there are people that generally do care about this.
And, you know, you raised a valid question: what's the point of being in front of a building just yelling at it?
But believe it or not, this is really effective.
What I saw here at that rally, I saw people being registered to vote.
I saw people being tugged at their emotions.
I saw a lot of locals that brought their families to that park where the rally was.
And they're like, hey, what's going on?
And they're like, oh, you know, we're here because we got to stop all these killings.
And of course, what's fresh in their minds is this shooting.
And they're like, yeah, of course, how do I help stop?
They're signing petitions.
You have local officials there.
You got people running for Congress.
And they're all promising we're going to make it stop.
They don't need to explain themselves why because everything's just kind of on the fly.
But these things are very effective.
And I really hate it.
It's one thing, like, don't underestimate your enemies and how organized and how far they will go.
And I think that this is why, like, the right, the political right, has like we're playing, we're having to play like reactionaries now because we're like, holy crap, how did this happen?
How did the left take over all our major institutions?
That's because we've been dismissing them for so long.
They're organized, they're dedicated, they're willing to stand.
I mean, I was out there the entire time of the rally.
I'm like burning up.
I'm humid.
I'm, you know, and these people came out out of the free time.
These people took time off from work.
Like, oh, none of those people work.
I'm like, no, these are all working class people.
It's just, this is what they care about.
And I think to myself, you know, June 11th, there's going to be a massive rally nationwide.
David Hogg is promoting it, right?
Talking about the, I believe it's a March for Our Lives.
He's like out there boasting about how it's over 45 states that are having it, over 200 cities, how there's major funding going on to that.
Why?
Because they know midterms are right around the corner and they need this to be able to moralize a demoralized base of voters that were like, man, we have nothing to vote for coming to these midterms.
But now they do.
They got Roe v. Wade and now they got gun control and they're motivated by that.
And so it's like, if you start dismissing it and you just sit back at home and you're just like, oh, nothing's going to happen.
I just think to myself, I can't think of a single thing that unites that many conservatives or people on the right where we would organize something in 45 states, but the left always does.
And I'm like, that's got to count for something.
Stop dismissing it as like everyone's just like this paid actor or Soros money.
And so this is when we talk about immigration, the way you have to approach this is not thinking that every single immigrant has this like develop plan or whatever.
In many cases, it is as simple as you get a higher wage in America than you do in Mexico or than you do in the previous country.
That doesn't mean that there's not an underlying reason for mass migration.
There's absolutely a narrative.
There's absolutely a reason.
But most of the time, what you see is normal people being used for a larger narrative.
And to start calling into question the authenticity of the normal people or of the abnormal people, but genuinely just real people, then you're kind of missing the plot.
These things exist simultaneously.
Real people are being activated.
There is an underlying reason for their activation.
When the right spends so much time calling everybody a crisis actor, I think we look silly.
I think that is used against us actually because they can say, oh, the right just thinks everybody is like a fake and a fraud and crisis actor this, this, and that.
People try to like clip Alex Jones and say, this guy's insane because he said this, this, and that.
When if you really listen to the content, he'll talk about the narrative.
And often we'll admit that some of the people in the middle are just kind of caught in the excitement of everything.
So this kind of reminds me of like, remember when we were covering like the riots like out in Portland and stuff, people, like when I was posting videos of like the Antifa fighting with like, you know, federalized police or federal employees or like the local police, and they've got like leaf blowers.
And like people were laughing at them, like, are these guys seriously bringing leaf blowers?
I'm like, do you understand that that's like a very effective tool?
Like they're getting tear gassed, they're being smoke bombed, whatever, and they're using those leaf blowers.
Like it's a, it's a, it's an urban warfare tactic.
Sure, you can laugh at it.
Sure, it's like this nerdy, you know, white liberal guy that, you know, probably lives in his mom's basement, whatever, but they come prepared.
And it's like, you don't need to be strapped with like, you know, a rifle or a handgun to be able to protest.
You can bring just modern things like a shield wall or a leaf blower.
And it's so effective.
And it's like, man, you guys think this is all like fun and games, but these guys are evolving.
They understand the ground game more than you.
And honestly, if you were to put the political right wing to fight up against like police officers for whatever reason one day or the left, like the left is going to be more prepared because they've had more confrontations with these people and like they've evolved.
They know the tactics.
They know how to be prepared for any confrontation with law enforcement.
Yeah, the worst thing you can do is underestimate the enemy.
But Elijah, to your point, like maybe the most pragmatic way of looking at this is if everybody is a crisis actor, none of the memes are funny anymore.
None of these people we make fun of can really be made fun of anymore because it's all a joke.
And I would like to believe that the magic is there.
And, you know, we're going to, we have some more videos.
We actually have quite a bit more to go, but that's going to be for Blazetv.com subscribers only.
We're going to be talking some more of the crazy videos and also getting into some of the people who were not crazy and the stories that specifically Aldo confronted of a very serious person.
And if that's interesting to you, remember that we offer extra content for people at blazetv.com slash Elijah.
So when you join there today, you help us fight censorship.
You keep us on the air, but you also get extra segments like this as we get into some of the more crazy stuff.
And it's kind of nice because going forward, if anyone wants to say anything about the election or anything, it's uncensored, meaning we're not just going around talking about like vulvas and stuff.
It's not like intentionally just crass, but it's meaning like we can actually get into a day and age where there are just things you can't really talk about on YouTube or on other public settings that we can on Blaze TV.
So go to blazetv.com slash Elijah.
