The Idea Of A Free Society...For Kids!
Head to https://bit.ly/teach-freedom for a unique book series that introduces the important ideas that schools no longer teach. Show less
Asking if I'm back, and I haven't really had an answer.
But now, yeah, I'm thinking I'm back.
So, so excited to finally be able to say once again, welcome back to Slightly Offensivist.
This is the best worst show on the internet, and I'm your top 17 host, Elijah Schaefer.
And I've been on a break for the last 30 days, and I've missed you guys incredibly.
And I know you've missed me too, just a little bit.
I miss you so much.
And I got to tell you the truth.
If you don't know where I went and what happened, well, I became a dad.
Daddy True.
What the hell is even that?
Yeah.
Like, I know a lot of you guys weren't aware.
Some of you guys had guessed it, but Kez was pregnant.
And she is no longer pregnant, thankfully.
And we had an amazing birth.
Oh, my God.
Here comes the hell!
Give me a mirror.
I want to see it.
No!
You don't.
You don't.
Now, you guys have all been asking for pictures.
You guys are like, please, show me your son.
And I'm going to show you him.
So if we can get a drum roll, a little bit of an excitement here.
Here is my son.
He's right here.
And this is him.
This is exactly how he looks.
And a lot of you guys are like, wow, that looks just like you.
He looks like a bona fide small read.
And the truth is he kind of is.
He's got my same teeth.
He's got my same glasses.
He was born with the little green helmet.
I mean, realistically, you couldn't have gotten anything more in my spitting image than that.
It's a really beautiful drawing.
And you guys, I guess, provided an internet safe version of my kid at Telegram, t.me slash slightly offensive.
Where you can always contribute memes for this show.
That's such a good and great way to connect with me.
And I appreciate this.
This is really beautiful.
And I want to be serious, right?
We're a very serious show.
I'm a very serious guy.
never joke around you serious I'm not sarcastic.
People never, you know, read me the wrong way or take me out of context.
We all know that doesn't happen here.
So I kind of want to take a step back and possibly really show you my child.
This is a real picture, not edited, right here.
This is me.
That's my little son.
You'll notice he's very cute.
He's got his little tiny fingers, his little tiny toes.
And yes, he's a king.
And I did not become king.
That's of ambition.
But once again, I had no choice.
He's a Chad.
He's an alpha male.
He's everything under the sun.
I mean, this guy's awesome.
He sucks on boobs.
He poops where he wants.
He eats when he wants.
He sleeps all day.
And yet at the same time, he still has everything he needs and more.
And a lot of you are asking me though, hey, Elijah, I thought you said you were going to show me a picture of your son.
And this is a picture that is blurry.
This looks edited.
You're a liar.
You're lying to me.
And I have to tell you, I'm not lying to you.
I told you it was unedited.
The truth of the matter is, is that I didn't blur this photo.
I actually took this picture.
I borrowed a camera from my friend who's a Bigfoot hunter.
It's a real, real career.
So he hunts Bigfoots.
And the crazy thing is they use a special camera.
And one of the downsides to it is usually when you're trying to capture an image, the most important subject in the image, which would usually be Bigfoot, for some reason, it changes the resolution.
It gets kind of blurry and it's low, you know, low resolution, hard to determine.
And I always figure these Bigfoot hunters should probably come up with new cameras because I was trying to show you a picture of my son and it just gave him the Bigfoot treatment.
You know, it's just a little hard to make out and prove who he really is.
But I'm happy to have him here.
And you got to understand, I mean, this look, this is a look of a tired man who's happy, but he's tired.
And that's the motivation that I have that I'm bringing back to all of this.
I mean, look at that.
Tired, but happy and fit because of my trainer, Mark Loebliner.
And before I can even talk about what we're going to be doing, what's going on, or why I'm back, the number one reason why I'm back is because I want to be a good father and I want to be able to leave an impact and make the world a better place.
Hopefully helping some of you guys laugh a little bit more and also taking a new approach to life because I'm a father now.
I mean, this is a crazy thing.
I mean, who let me have a kid, right?
That's a kind of a crazy situation, but I'm super happy.
I'm more than excited.
Like my purpose makes sense.
And for all of you guys who are parents, and for those of you that want to become parents, I get why society discouraged his parenthood and misrepresents it because really, truly, especially as a man and as a woman, that's when life begins.
Life doesn't begin at the marriage.
Life begins when you conceive a child together and when you actually see that baby, like right look into his eyes or her eyes.
And, you know, you're able to go, wow, like this is a little me, those little hands and the little face.
And we make the same expressions.
And it's one of the most like confounding things as a man to look in the face of your child and say, like, we are continuing this legacy.
We are being fruitful.
We are multiplying and we are giving off, you know, and moving forward into a next generation.
And like, you know, we'll be talking about it over the years.
We'll be talking about over the months, raising up kids.
We're planning on homeschooling.
We're not doing the vaccine stuff.
We're going to keep, you know, we're going to keep the kid healthy and natural and move him in a good progression.
And Kez is just like crushing it as being a mom.
She's already got him on a good sleep schedule.
He's sleeping through the night.
He's on a feed, you know, a good feed schedule.
We're breaking convention and we're following what works because here we like to do that.
But of course, while I was gone for a little bit, you know, there was a bit of a question in my mind about whether or not I was going to come back, right?
Whether or not I should come back.
Because, you know, I was thinking a bit about how the reality of the world works.
And, you know, I was thinking like the world is in such a good place since I left.
The world is in such an incredible position, right?
I've been gone for 30 days.
And it's a good thing to know that really there's no need for me here.
I don't know if you guys are familiar with the Notre Dame, you know, the Notre Dame, however you want to say it.
If you guys remember that it was one of the greatest churches, you know, that ever existed, right?
This is a pinnacle of Western society.
This is part of the institution that defines us as a people of Western Europe, of our great heritage, of our centering on Christ.
And if you remember years ago, it actually caught on fire and it burned.
And I started to reflect on this, right?
And begin to think like, you know, it's moments like these that remind me that maybe, maybe, just maybe conspiracy theories are false.
The world really isn't, you know, this big question.
And things actually really start to make sense when you're reminded that during the burning of this building, to Remind you that the moment Michelle Obama's idyllic Parisian River cruise turns sour as the former first lady and other revelers realize that Notre Dame is on fire.
And it's really crazy to me that during the exact time that one of the greatest buildings of artwork that establishes who we are as a people and brings us and centers us into the beauty and the majesty of God as it burns mysteriously, confused, right?
They never figured out the cause.
They said, did it burn from a cigarette that was improperly put out during construction when there was no construction workers on site that day that we know of, but you know, like construction crews in ancient cities like Paris, you know, that would be there and they often smoke cigarettes on wooden scaffolding and wooden buildings and flick them, you know, and we see this as a common problem.
Or if it happened from a shorting out of a circuit of an electric electric circuit, right?
They don't know what really happened.
We don't know who caused it.
No one's been found guilty.
But it was a coincidence that during that time, the very broad-shouldered, beautifully fit queen of the lunch line, Michelle Obama, was on a Parisian, Parisian cruise and happened to be sailing right past, I mean, right past the Notre Dame as it caught fire and as it began to collapse.
And if that doesn't reassure you that nothing is a lie and that the world is completely, you know, upfront and honest, that the wife of one of the most popular presidents by vote in American history, one of the leaders of the liberal progressive movement, that his wife happened to be on the top of a cruise sipping wine, no joke, sipping wine as the Notre Dame caught fire and began collapsing.
I mean, what's the coincidence that you plan your trip as a wife of a world leader?
Some even say might have controlled some of the world politics and happened to be at that exact place as an non-attack on an institution of church is set on fire.
That reminds me that I don't need to be here, right?
I don't have to be here because it makes sense.
Of course it makes sense.
Why would you need a guy like me to explain things or investigate things or try to talk to people to understand when like already we could figure out that the church is burning by looking at Michelle Obama's Twitter because she happens to be there as the events start.
We can just look to our great leaders to tell us what's happening.
And we don't need alternative media.
We don't need additional voices.
But I thought, you know what?
I really don't want to like be that kind of guy, right?
I don't want to be that guy.
I really do want to come back.
Some people requested that I come back.
And I was like, you know, but do our current leaders, are our current leaders, like, do we have hope?
Is there anybody that could take over for me?
And the truth is, is like, there are plenty of good leaders, right?
There's tons of good stuff coming on.
And there's not really a reason for me to come here because I'm obviously nervous for you guys.
I get nervous with the rise in violence and things like that around the country that you guys aren't safe.
And of course, I don't mean like violence like as in like, you know, pew pew or that kind of stuff.
I mean, violence is in like mean words.
But like, thank God, one of the challengers to the 2024, you know, presidential race is already a step ahead of me.
Ron DeSantis is in Jerusalem filing speech laws to make it illegal to discriminate, which is fantastic.
Like a lot of people criticize me and are like, why would you support this?
Like, why would you support Ron DeSantis in a foreign country signing laws that affect Americans and may limit our constitutional abilities or like our ability to speak?
Well, good thing you asked.
Thank you for asking.
I'll tell you this.
I'll tell you this.
I'm comforted by a Nort non-alcoholic craft beer as I'm reminded in these moments that this is one of the greatest moments of American history because realistically speaking, American cities aren't safe, right?
I mean, they're not, but Israel is a great, very safe country.
I mean, they're protected by the American taxpayer, billions of dollars a year.
They have the Iron Dome missile system, a detection system that protects the country.
And in many ways, Ron DeSantis is more safe or safer and more well protected.
And the borders are more well guarded inside of Israel than they are inside of Florida.
And so, as a person who respects human life and loves people like this, why would I not want Ron DeSantis to be in Israel signing legislation that affects Americans' freedoms?
Like, I mean, let's just be honest.
I mean, there's been a lot going on in spring break and stuff in these in Florida.
And Florida's kind of got a lot of kooky things.
They've also got like cottonmouth or cotton tails.
I know what they're called.
They've got spiders and they've got, you know, alligators and all this kind of stuff, but at least he's protected now by the Iron Dome.
And I know a lot of you guys are not, you know, DeSantis supporters.
You guys are like, yeah, well, that's DeSantis.
I don't like him anyways.
You know, like, I'm obviously like a little bit more into Trump.
But of course, I could have left you guys with Trump because, you know, obviously Donald Trump's out there, you know, saying DeSanctimonius had nothing to do with Israel or the moving of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.
Never much as mentioned it to me.
It was the last thing on his mind.
DeSantis wasn't even a governor yet.
It was December 6th, 2017.
And I barely, I barely, I barely knew him.
He has turned out to be total flame out, a total flame out.
This is the kind of disinformation I thought only the Democrats would put.
No wonder DeSantis is dropping like a rock in the polls.
Terrible.
So Donald Trump is picking up the mantle.
DeSantis is in Israel signing laws to control speech in America.
Good idea.
And thankfully, not only are foreign countries' interests being looked out for in their country, but Trump is looking out for donors from our allies as well and defending them and taking time to compete with who has the most credit with that country, which I got to say.
When it comes to choices, we now have two people who are really fighting hard for the sanctioning, the approval, and the support of our friends.
And I'm just going to say, these are the reasons, right?
I mean, Michelle Obama, you can go to her Twitter for the news.
You can follow and fight between DeSantis and Trump.
And you can argue with each other about who has more support for our foreign allies.
That's all good stuff.
And I'm like, why?
So why do you need me, right?
Like, what's the point of me being here?
Who could I talk to?
What could I do when we're in such a good direction as a nation, right?
What could I do there?
And on that note, I do want to take the sponsor for today's show, by the way.
A huge shout out to the sponsor for today's show.
You can go to undertack.com, U-N-D-R-T-A-C.com, and you can use my promo code Offensive20 for 20% off storewide.
Now, what's really important about these boxers is that they're not just underwear.
They're battle forces tested undergarments, meaning they are used in the battle.
They don't write up.
I've used them on the streets.
I use them in videos.
I wear them while I'm sitting here.
They have the no write-up technology.
They don't shrink.
They don't peel and get weird like those other boxers that lose their elasticity.
The band is comfortable, especially if you're fit.
It doesn't hug too tight, that it hurts.
And if you've got a little more to love and a gut spilling over, maybe lose the gut.
But if you're not in the meantime, it's not uncomfortable.
I know how it is, guys.
We could all get in better shape.
But the most important part is they have everything as well.
They have like the recon boxer, right?
Which is so amazing.
You can get that here as well.
It looks so good, comes in masculine colors.
These are of the highest quality and they support your rights to freedom of speech and our values as a show and as a people.
I highly recommend if you're going to buy anything and you're going to get something that you check out, just the infantry boxer brief, which is oh, so comfortable and actually comes in these amazing colors, including the steel gray, the hunter green, and of course the midnight black, which looks so good.
Make sure that you get a pair, get a spare, and check it out.

Link in the description.
Shout out to them for supporting us all the way.
And a lot of you guys, though, are saying, like, okay, like, it's like, no, dude, we need you.
Like, this is why we need you.
Like, I watched the footage.
I see what's going on and we need your takes.
Like, we need what's going on.
Now, I've decided, like I mentioned, that we're going to continue to have live streams.
We have nightly offensive live streams.
Those are going to be going on on Rumble and Locals.
So make sure you follow us at rumble.com slash slightly offensive and ElijahSchaefer.locals.com.
You can get the live streams Monday, Wednesday, Fridays at 10 p.m. Eastern, 9 p.m. Central.
You can get all the fun and everything.
And we're going to be having these daily offensive segments where we're looking and not offensive as in anything other than we're going on the offensive with the truth and looking and having great discussions.
And it's all going to be, of course, we're going to go back to censoring some of the words and different things so that it could be watched by everyone in the family together.
And you can get all that right here on YouTube.
And we really appreciate that.
And then we're going to have a great interview at the end of every week, which we're really excited about and some amazing stuff we have planned.
We're redesigning the whole show.
We got things on the chopping block, but it's all going to take a little bit of time because I just got back to work the other day.
So as you were saying, well, Elijah, I just don't understand.
Like, you know, how could you, how could you as a person, like, you know, I got ahead of myself.
How could you as a person say that you could leave us?
You know, how could you leave us in good hands?
Well, I'll tell you this.
Ron DeSantis is in Jerusalem, as I mentioned earlier.
And here he mentioned actually that America was saved from hurricanes.
Check this out.
We were saved from hurricanes because of a prayer he said at the Wailing Wall.
So why do you need me to inform you when you have governors who can save your country by praying at a wall overseas?
He really said this.
Listen to this.
We brought the delegation for prayer at the Western Wall.
The only thing I can tell you is my prayer in 2019 was that we would be spared the upcoming hurricane season in the state of Florida.
And we were in a situation as we got in the height of hurricane season.
You had a monstrous hurricane barreling east or barreling west towards the Florida Peninsula, Hurricane Dorian.
It was a category five, a very strong.
Shout out to Dorian.
Only the real ones know, by the way, but shout out to Dorian.
He's alive and well.
Yes.
On category five, and it was headed basically going to ram right into our state.
Well, and at that time when it was on that track, people were saying, well, God must not be listening to the governor because we may be getting rammed here.
Well, I can tell you the storm was heading our way.
It slowed down.
It turned all the way 90 degrees and went north and never impacted our coast.
And so I'm chalking it up to the prayer I put in the Western Wall.
People can offer whatever rationale they want.
Heck yeah.
And I do too.
In fact, I probably put Me coming back on the show and beginning to make videos again, I attributed that to his prayer at the Western Wall as well.
Realistically, it's not a joke.
I'm not making a joke.
I'm being serious.
I really do.
And I'm very excited to be back.
Thank you to Saint Is for that.
But, you know, I think in the middle of all this as well, it is interesting that I go, I go, hey, you know, is everything really going to be okay back home?
Are you guys in good hands?
And I'm reminded that, like, you know, not only do you have governors, but you also have senators who are in good position.
I don't know if you guys saw this, but John Fetterman, one of the senators from Pennsylvania, after being hospitalized for a stroke in which he can't communicate very well, and then also being admitted to the hospital for depression, very seriously, as you know, that can be terminal.
And that's not something to joke about.
You know, he, you know, maybe has 20% of his brain function, you know, working well.
He has to use a like on-screen text and a teleprompter in order to read and attract people's voices.
Very, very tragic.
We got to, we got to pray for our leaders, definitely for their well-being.
And as somebody who's in recovery, you know, and getting better every single day and overcoming these mental problems that he has and these disabilities that have occurred, right?
His speech problems, it's really good to know that he's making good decisions.
And we see here that he has decided, he has decided to use his time well and to begin drinking alcohol, which we all know only good things come from drinking alcohol.
That's why I think, you know, it's very, very, very not-based, not red-pilled to be mad at Bud Light because we should be promoting people and telling people that drinking beer is, you know, obviously very good for you.
It produces estrogen.
And estrogen, you know, is extremely good for men because it causes you to be more docile, emotional, short game, like short game focused.
You, you know, estrogen is good.
It makes you more open to polyamory, being non-binary, the whole spectrum.
This is a very good thing.
This is what we want.
And it makes you, you know, look at that.
How that's a very normal guy.
Like, that's a very cool.
Like, I feel like that's cool.
Like, I want to do that.
You know what I mean?
Like, I just kind of want to cheer someone, but I don't have any friends because I'm Elijah Schaefer and I'm alone in this life.
However, just kidding, I do have a friend in life.
You can't take him away from me.
You can't take him away from me.
That's my best friend.
Right there.
Yeah.
AO Knuckles.
But on a serious note, I mean, so it's like, it's like, yeah, I mean, he's spreading good awareness, right?
He's drinking beer.
Obviously, we're not talking about drinking harder stuff like liquor or these things.
Drinking is not a good habit, but drinking beer is great for the senator who's recovering from mental problems.
And so, like, come on, with the combination of Michelle Obama, who happens to be in the right place at the right time, you can trust her to our governor and our and our president, you know, past president fighting for foreign influence in our government, and then our senators being hospitalized and drinking.
I mean, is there really a country?
Is there really a country that I need to, does it need me?
Do you really need me?
Do we got to look at stuff every day and talk about boring things when like the country is working this well?
I don't know.
I genuinely don't know.
And I was thinking, though, I saw this video and it really inspired me to begin to want to come back.
I'm not even joking.
This is not a joke.
This is very serious, as the show often is.
I saw this video and I was reminded that even in hard times, there are heroes and that there are people are needed, like heroes, right?
And I'm not calling myself a hero.
I'm saying there are heroes that exist in this world, people that stepped up to the challenge, people that said, I'm going to put myself on the line.
I'm going to do what's hard and I'm going to sacrifice my health, my wealth, my being.
And I'm going to, you know, I'm going to create TikToks, you know?
And I think when I began to see, you know, when I was reminded of this video of nurses during the last couple years dancing on helicopter pads, you know what I mean?
Dancing in surgery rooms with like 4K cameras and choreography and dollies.
And like they hired production teams all around the world.
There's a Schlidzwid schlagen.
You got firemen skipping and tapping and tipping and skittly-datting.
And you got the woman, you know, women workers are awesome too.
We love our female workers, making the world a better place.
And we got those guys.
We have, I don't, not sure if I really sponsor the all-white outfits.
It's a little bit, you know, a nod to a group of people that wear white robes.
I don't like those kind of people.
But, you know, everyone's shimming.
And not only did this restore my belief that, you know, who said white people can't dance?
Talk about anti-rhetoric.
These are white people and they are dancing.
I mean, you got to give them credit.
These are our nurses.
These are people around the world.
And these are the Schaffen das Feizerhausens.
And I mean, I'm really, really, really happy.
And there was every race, every creed, every sexuality.
We had, you know, gay nurses and stuff, which makes my heart happier.
If you're gay and you're a nurse, it's even better, right?
And dancing, because then it gives you like, you're even like more, like you have more, more rights and stuff.
And you're even like, you're just better, you know.
I don't know why.
I don't know.
I don't have a point there.
You're just a better person than me.
And you look at this and it's like, it goes for two and a half minutes.
I need to stop playing this because it's, I'm going to start crying.
I'm going to start crying because like, look at this.
Like, are you not?
Are you not?
Are you not entertained?
Like, I mean, like, are you going to cry?
Because I am.
Look at the choreography at the UKSH.
Jeez, I can't do it.
I'm sorry.
I'm not going to put you through that.
Only because I want you to be able to recover and realize you will never be as good as these people.
You will never be as successful.
Your life will never be as responsible.
I mean, come on, think about this.
The world's got it covered.
I mean, when there was a very, very scary period in our country's history, our nurses stepped up.
They provided healthcare.
And they found time to choreograph helicopter drone shots of large-scale dances.
That's some good stuff.
I'm proud to be an American.
I'm proud to be a global citizen of this universal push.
And I will inject myself with a chip if I need to, if that means being able to still access the internet and watch videos of nurses dancing.
And I mean that wholeheartedly from the bottom of who I am.
But on another serious note, genuinely a serious note, there is this graph that really stood out to me.
And this kind of goes into where the show's going and what I plan on doing with it long term as I want to wrap this up.
Again, there is a live stream.
You can always watch it on rumble.com slash slightly offensive.
And you can watch it behind our paywall as well at lightjashafer.locals.com.
I want to be able to be there and be on different platforms and grow the community.
But I want to be able to keep this community exactly beneficial.
And so we have these new daily offensive segments, which are shorter, which are going to be 10 to 30 minutes.
And they're going to be a little more frequent.
And they're going to be times for us to talk, to touch bass, because let's be honest, there's a lot to talk about.
There's a lot of people to talk to.
And I take very much pride in it.
But I saw this chart, which on the left is the actual causes of mortality, right?
We have heart disease, cancer.
I lost my mom to cancer.
Very, very difficult.
Road incidences, falls, accidents, lower respiratory disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, diabetes, drug overdosing.
This is all horrible, right?
This is absolutely horrible.
You know, ending your own life at the bottom there.
These things are tragic.
And if you wonder why I put this up here, it's because obviously the media should be about informing us.
Should be about providing for us information that matters.
And I myself have fallen prey to this over the years as well.
Kind of only talking about, you know, at times, things that might bring clicks, things that might be viral, things that just bring in viewers while ignoring certain stories and topics that are important not only to me, but would be valuable to you because simply they just wouldn't bring in as many views.
And yes, this is a business.
And yes, there is an aspect where it's like people do want to make money and stuff.
But I was offered a lot of money recently to make a video about an idea that I don't support, a lot of money.
And they were going to produce it and everything.
They just needed me.
They knew my audience felt a certain way.
They wanted to convince you guys to think a different way.
And they offered me a good amount of money.
And it was actually a green helmet company.
And I took the bloody money.
And I'm telling you right now, if you are out there and you've been thinking about it, get a bloody green helmet, buy one, wear one.
They make you a better person.
They increase fertility.
I mean, this makes you a Chad, Giga Chad, 5,000 mega Chad.
So no.
No, it was for an idea I don't support.
And I didn't take the money because I don't compromise like that.
And I can survive a lot.
I can survive a lot of attacks, a lot of haters, but what I cannot survive is knowing that if I intentionally lied to you guys or misled you guys on any matter, because that's not slightly offensive, that's fully offensive.
And that would make me a perfect candidate to get a job in certain media companies that are very popular today and people subscribe to.
Anyway, I'm not going to get involved in that.
And I'm going to keep supporting you guys.
So I appreciate you guys supporting me.
And I noticed, though, that on the right-hand side of this graph, it's the causes of mortality that are covered by the media.
And of course, you have terrorism and you have homicide and ending your life and pneumonia and cancer.
And really, what it's saying is that the news and information in informative areas do not actually spend time covering the things that could help you and provide information to bring your life and make your life better.
It's about things that will shock you and make you depressed.
And the reality is, if, you know, if 10% of the coverage of mortality in the media is about ending your life, but that's only 1% of deaths or the fact that we don't even see the rank, it's 0.01%, less than 0.01% is terrorism.
And that takes up 35.6% of the coverage.
If you're talking about one-third of mortality, taking time to cover on the media things that really aren't impacting your life, then it makes you realize there is actually an agenda.
And I don't want to be an agenda-driven show.
I don't have the energy or the bandwidth to just bicker and fight.
You know, my brain works the way it does.
You guys have been with me for five years now.
We're celebrating five years of making videos.
We've gone through a lot.
We've seen a lot.
There's been highs, lows, and in between.
And you guys have gotten married and had deaths in your family.
And we've just seen things happening.
And I can always stay sarcastic and I can stay crazy and I can continue to make jokes and I'll never, ever, ever stop being, you know, who I am.
But when I see videos like this, when I see videos like this.
You need the happy camera now.
Just gotta give you a little rap.
That is a little baby with microcephaly.
It's like a disorder that shrinks your head.
And of course, you know, I know in today's world, they would tell you that that baby doesn't deserve life, right?
That baby, you know, that's just a byproduct of a botched pregnancy.
And we live in a world where people don't even give that baby life.
And I see this parents giving this baby, you know, however short their life may be, kind of due to the medical condition, they're giving this baby love.
And you see in that face joy.
You see in that face genuine comfort, genuine pleasure of feeling their parent give them a little rub and feeling the softness and the tenderness, you know, like a baby would.
And, you know, even if you look at the negative side of things and you go, well, that baby's going to die soon.
Why bring that baby to term?
Why go in that direction?
The thing is, is while that baby's life will 100%, if science is correct, be shorter than any average baby, those parents choosing to have hope and to give that baby the best life it could have in the time that it has is the kind of approach that I want to bring to this show.
That no matter how dark, no matter how frustrating it may be, and no matter how much the light at the end of the tunnel may seem dark, and it may seem like there's not a lot of hope for this country, that there may not be a lot of hope for the entertainment industry, for our schools, maybe even for our world.
But you know what?
There is hope for us.
There is a genuine hope.
You know, like just last year, I used to be unhealthy and I was overweight and I was depressed in some ways.
And, you know, I just wasn't loving life.
And I decided to make a change and to give my life to God and to get healthy and to get coaching and to lose weight and to work on myself, to work on becoming a better, stronger person and preparing to have my firstborn son.
And I will continue working on that for the rest of my life.
But I can tell you one thing I've learned through that is that just like this baby, a lot of people say doesn't deserve life, but it seems to be enjoying the little life that it has.
And I think that's precious.
And I thank God for the life of this cute baby.
And I don't want to see any jokes about this baby because honestly, this is a gift from God.
And, you know, and I mean, like, there's no, there's a time to joke about stuff, but now's not the time for this.
Most importantly is that in the midst of this, you know, I want that to be the look for the show.
I don't know how much time we have.
I don't know how long, you know, any one of us could, I could die at any point, but I want to make sure that I use my time well.
And so what's going to be happening is, like I said, we'll be having the live stream Monday, Wednesday, Fridays at our normal time, nightly offensive on Rumble and locals.
We'll be having, it might come to YouTube.
Who knows?
I'm not sure.
But we also have the daily offensive segments.
We're going to be having some original, like more researched voiceover type stuff.
And we're going to be having a very good interview every Friday or Thursday or Friday.
I don't know what it is.
I look at the schedule.
And we're going to be trying to bring really good content.
I need your feedback.
Thank you guys for sticking with us throughout all of this as we adjust and we break into the next state.
And keep blocking out the darkness.
And the way you do that is by bringing light because there's no such thing as darkness.
Darkness is the absence of light.
So if your life is dark, if the world seems dark, if you feel like you're giving up hope, remember, it's not about getting rid of the darkness.
It's about introducing light.
So become that light.
Become that salt of the world.
Begin to work on those areas.
You know where you're struggling.
You know where God's calling you to give up.
You know what God's calling you to work on.
Even if you don't believe in God, you know what scientifically could make you feel better, but you do need a higher power.
And, you know, you do need a one, you need God, one true God, you need Jesus.
But also, you know, most importantly, is that you work on that.
We need to come together and we need to fight for a better version of us.
And we're not going to have a better world if we're not the best version of who we can be.
And that's what the show is going to do is to help us become better versions while all the fun, all the laughter, all the things in between.
And I hope you enjoyed it.
