some DISTURBING things about the NEW Twitter CEO | Guest: Mike Lerner
Elon Musk hired a new Twitter CEO and both the left and right are seemingly ticked off, because she has a very questionable background. But is the outrage warranted? Is the celebration of Twitter as a free speech platform over? Will this be the final death blow to open conversation online? We cover this and so much more with the host of News Nation Podcast (formerly I'm Doing Great), Mike Lerner, who also interviewed a progressive pastor with some radical ideologies that will probably make you more upset than Elon's new CEO. This episode of nightly offensive gets lit!

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
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is approximately 10:10 p.m. Eastern Time in the United States, and everybody's freaking out because Elon Musk just appointed the new CEO of Twitter, and her background is questionable.
My guest tonight is the host of the New Nation podcast, Mike Lerner, who we'll bring on in a moment.
As we discuss these things, I was just out in Australia talking to very beautiful women.
I told you they're all nines here, right?
These are some very hot ladies.
I'll let you decide which ones are ladies and which ones are lady boys.
We have a street content coming back up.
We have a great show tonight.
We have so much to discuss.
Let's get down.
Oh, we've got a great show for you guys.
My name is Elijah Schaefer, and I am your top 17 host.
And the thing is, anybody who's into dishing tea is usually just the loser.
And that's quite frankly where we're at.
And we got to talk about the genuine authenticity of what's going on because, as you know, the free speech bastion of the future was supposed to be Twitter.
It was supposed to be where Tucker Carlson's launching his new show at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
It was Twitter TVs coming out.
Everyone was excited because Elon Musk was ready to launch the frontier of challenging the globalist empire through this acquisition.
And then he appoints a new Twitter CEO, which we'll get into in a second, who happens to be a chair of a committee at the World Economic Forum, which, if that doesn't worry you, this is what they thought was entertainment.
Yeah, legitimately speaking, I just want to remind people, she is on the chair of the World Economic Forum, but we are going to talk about the story because it is pretty intense.
I want to remind you guys as we jump into this.
The show is brought to you by locals, ElijahSchaefer.locals.com.
It's a community.
It's where you join.
It's where you support the show.
It's how you meet other cool people.
We have a great group of SOB, slightly offensive backers who are in there right now.
You get the exclusive chat.
You know that you're in there right now and you're talking.
I can't put the chat up on the screen because last time you guys got me in trouble, but it's uncensored.
You can send your memes.
We have an after-show.
We talk.
We discuss.
If you're not joining the community, it's free.
And also, if you want to support this show and you want to keep it going, keep Independent Media and Journalism alive because as you saw, I am.
Yeah, you got to get the click, click, click the thing.
But also, you know, I went out into the street video and I had a guy do an outro with me on the street video and he said, yeah, man, like whatever it is to support this guy, support him.
Because look at how he's dressed.
He looks like, look at his cheap clothing.
He looks poor.
And I was like, it's pretty demoralizing, but it's true.
Yeah, and don't forget to click the link in the bio to be able to follow Mike.
Let's get into this.
There's crazy things happening in the Matrix.
Let's talk about the Twitter CEO.
Is free speech over?
I don't know.
Elon Musk welcomes the new CEO of Twitter.
He says, I'm excited to welcome Linda Yakarino.
Yasereno, I have no idea.
It doesn't matter.
She's the new CEO of Twitter.
Linda Yak will focus primarily on business operations while I focus on the product design and new technology.
Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app.
He's excited.
And as we hear the initial announcement, if people aren't thinking this is irrelevant, like why are we talking about this?
Well, this is, I think, kind of important for several reasons, one of which being the fact that every social media app is basically Gestapo, right?
They do everything in their power.
Since two years ago on Blaze, if I don't upload shorts, I lose 110 subscribers a day, almost exactly.
It's like a bleed.
And YouTube has just had so many issues with this channel, right?
It's demonetized, et cetera.
And you have the same problem too on your podcast.
It's like you get in trouble once something happens and they come against you.
And it's like, we really wish that these tech companies were concerned more about just allowing content creators to voice their opinions than they were about policing opinions, but we can't have nice things, Mike.
No, but you know, like, what I think is ironic here, like, let's have a real discussion about this because I don't want this to be boring and I want to have a genuine, not reactionary side of things because I feel like this show's always been in a good position to not just take the right or the left wing side.
Number one, I hate people who don't take the left or the right wing side and think that they're morally superior.
Like, well, she's partly left and partly right and doesn't stand for anything and she stands for nothing.
So she must be the right choice.
I'm not saying that.
That's stupidity.
Sometimes you need to just choose a side.
You need to fight for something.
But I also want to say, you know, people that start freaking out and are like, oh my gosh, she was like a very big pro-masker and she was, you know, a pink pussy hat person or whatever.
Dude, do you know who was into this stuff?
Donald Trump.
So like, I know they say he wasn't in the end, but I mean, he pushed Operation Warp speed and he was also into this.
And also like a lot of these individuals who, you know, were out.
And I hate to say this too, people that are like, oh my gosh, she's very pro-Jab.
She's very pro- all these things.
You know, the right wing has this reactionary statement.
So is Elon Musk.
Does no one know that?
Elon Musk was very pro all these things.
Am I saying that I like that?
Am I saying that that makes me happy?
No, it doesn't.
But Elon Musk has had a bit of a turnaround in terms of his perspective on free speech and his views on mRNA, his views on the whole response here, all this stuff, clearly didn't affect the way that he handled Twitter.
So while I'm not like, I'm not like, oh, this is such a great choice for CEO.
I also like, if you're going to get mad at her for this, then you've also got to hold Elon accountable.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, there's a kind of a different way of looking at it where you can't just jump to a conclusion.
Maybe I'm off on this one, but I mean, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have the basically the same positions.
You can find the same videos of them doing the same things.
Yeah, I'd also say I really have no dog in the fight because I really don't use Twitter.
I don't have many followers.
I post to it rarely.
And the only time that I do, it's because I want to make a text post that I can screenshot and put onto Instagram, which I really could just do the same thing in Instagram.
But I like how it has my little profile picture and the time and the date and from where I made the tweet.
So that's the only reason why I use Twitter.
Like I said, free speech is gay.
And I don't care to be on there because I find it to be a cesspool no matter who's running it.
So people used to give me crap, like, oh, shut up, blue check.
But now we all are.
And speaking of that, she also, you know, more videos.
She did the washing hands challenge.
I'm just, I'm sorry to put you guys through this, but this was uh don't stop.
unidentified
We're rocking out.
They the rubber to the boogity band, they the boogity to the boogity beat Now what you hear is not a test, I'm rubber to the beat And me, the crew, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet See, I am Wonder Mike and I'd like to say hello Until the black, to the right, the red, and the brown, the purple, and yellow.
groundbreaking it's the one thing that like frustrates me about boomers is they don't know how to use the technology that they're running Like she could have used an Instagram reel or story or TikTok to put the actual audio over the video so it didn't sound like it was playing in her home.
That's probably the most offensive part of that video.
It was like the fact that she used a, but like she also had her, she had her son.
Hey, can you connect?
And she said the Bluetooth, right?
Not Bluetooth.
Can you connect the Bluetooth to my phone, please?
I need to play a.
And then she, and then the best part was like the video started and it was like, check out the new Phileo Fish Fridays, Phileo Fish Fridays at McDonald's, $5.49 for two Phileo Fishes.
And then went hip hop to the hip idiot because she like, you know, like, she's rich, but she doesn't know how to pay for like Spotify premium.
You know what I'm talking about?
Like rich boomers.
Like, I'll meet people who make hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars a year.
And like, I'm like in their car and we're listening to like Pandora radio commercials.
Like, ma'am, you made $610,000 in the last three months.
But before we jump into that, guys, I want to give a huge shout out to our sponsor for today.
As you guys know, I love a good smoke, and many of you guys do, but there's a lot of mess.
There's a smell, there's additives.
It's not good for your throat, although I do love a good smoke.
And you want that nicotine buzz, and maybe you're trying to stop smoking and you want an alternative.
Well, I have good news for you.
I want to talk to you about Pixotine, which are nicotine-infused toothpicks you can use anywhere that come in amazing flavors right there, such as the Winter Fresh, the cinnamon, the tobacco.
They're small, they're affordable.
They fit in your pocket, and there's no restrictions.
It's a great alternative to smoking, vaping, or chewing.
And right now, if you go to pixotine.com/slash Elijah, that's P-I-X-O-T-I-N-E.com slash E-L-I-J-A-H.
That's pixoteen.com/slash Elijah.
You can get 20% off the entire store.
Again, you can use these when you fly.
You can use these on a train, on a plane, in an automobile.
I'd like them, Sam I.M. You can eat them with green eggs and ham, but I don't advise you to eat them.
I advise you, if you're 21 or older, to check it out.
Feel free to realize as well that if you know somebody who smokes and you want them to do something different, maybe you have a newborn around and you're not allowed to smoke in front of your baby.
Maybe you have a pregnant spouse and you're not supposed to be smoking in front of them.
I don't know.
But these are amazing alternatives.
And Josh LaCash and a few people I know have used these as alternatives to stop other bad habits.
So I would encourage you to check them out because they are delicious.
They're not nutritious, but of course they do work and they give you that nicotine buzz.
If you're 21 or older, go to pixoteine.com slash Elijah.
Click the link in the bio, send it to a friend, and get it today.
Like you mentioned, Mike, though, you were saying that how she sounds like she's from Long Island.
The truth is, yeah, she's a big, she's a big city, she's a big city woman.
Some people in the chat were saying she kind of thick, though.
I don't know how I feel about it.
I feel it makes me feel uncomfortable that people were thinking about that.
Is Gary from the Next News Network, which, by the way, if you guys want to know, I am a pundit on the Next News Network on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
That's pretty cool.
You should check it out.
All right.
Let's look at this.
Another thing about her that I find to be very interesting about this good old person was that she is a chairwoman for the World Economic Forum, which, by the way, I love, I love this.
I love this for her because I feel like if you were successful and you weren't on the World Economic Forum, then I'm assuming you eat babies, right?
Because there's like two paths to like to global control.
It's like globalist removing your rights and making you eat bugs or making you eat babies in pizza parlors.
No, I'm just kidding.
But no, but I mean, I mean, realistically speaking, now we know the type of woman she is.
She's like a globalist.
She plays the system, the corporate ladder.
At least we know, like, she's out in the open, right?
There's no like secret money or like family ties.
It's just like, hey, I'm a globalist World Economic Forum leader, and that's why I have power.
But what's interesting too is number four, is she was big on diversity is not just something good.
It's the right thing to do.
And this is where we see these global leaders connecting morality to, you know, to these like progressive ideas.
I've always said this.
Progressivism isn't dangerous because it's an alternate set of ideas.
Progressivism is dangerous because it's a replacement for morality and religious ideology.
And that's what makes it so dogmatic and its adherents so zealous and radical.
You know, if you were just presenting alternative ideas, like, and I might be okay with this.
If I was in a workplace environment and I'm the CEO, I mean, I've hired a lot of minorities.
I'm probably the biggest respecter of minorities, females, and of the minority communities in general in the world.
I probably have hired more of them than anybody in this world.
Is people say diversity helps, right?
I mean, and they say, okay, like, hey, you know, let's just say 30% of the Republican voting bloc is Hispanic and it would be really good if you got a Spanish-speaking woman to come on the show and do a show, do a podcast in Spanish, and it would attract more viewers.
Fine.
I don't mind that idea.
Diversity, money, you get more viewers.
You have a Spanish-speaking person.
Like, that's just a very basic mathematical equation.
Diversity is never about how do we just make more money.
Diversity is about even if we lose money, we push diversity because it's morally correct.
It is the right thing to do.
It is how we succeed.
And even if it hurts your end goal, business is not about making money.
It's about being correct and about following your religion.
And that's dangerous because then you start hiring people who suck at their jobs and who end up literally being shitheads simply because they're diverse.
And I think it ruins meritocracy in this, you know, this environment to where you don't even believe people are in their jobs or their school positions or anything because they earned it.
You're like, well, it's just because you're a black woman, you know?
I mean, when anyone brings up the word diversity, especially in a corporate setting, I used to work for Ralph Lauren.
So I remember doing these diversity, DEI sort of, I don't know what they call them training exercises that you would have to do for whatever reason.
I worked in retail.
I worked in a store.
In no situation did I ever have to deal with, let's say, any sort of racial tone policing or like sexual tone policing whatsoever.
I think this is just an in for people to make money as diversity trainers and for the corporation to fill boxes and to make sure that every one of those boxes is checked just so that they don't get canceled.
But I agree with what you've said.
And I mean, look at what's happened to, let's say, the GOP or the Republican Party or the mainstream conservative movement or the big tent is what I like to call them.
It's not good.
It's not good.
You don't need a wide array of diverse people to be under one big tent of ideas just because of diversity itself.
Now look at what you've got.
You've got drag queens, you've got like the drag queen MAGA drag queens, and you've got gays and you've got trans who now call themselves conservative, which is anti-conservative.
It's more of an open feedback loop for the advertising experts in this room to help develop Twitter into a place where they will be excited about investing more money.
Product development, ad safety, content moderation.
Do you commit to letting advertisers, Coca-Cola, control what's allowed on the website?
And that's just what I think is absolutely insane about Republicanism and this blind support for corporate entities.
They hate you.
And people are like, but I really want to support businesses.
Why?
What?
These corporations literally hate you.
They hate you because you go, well, it's not really profitable, but it is because of ESG scores, Right.
So if you want to borrow more money, if you want to be involved in universal global trade, then you need to hit a certain score, an ESG score, which is your environmental impact, your social justice impact.
And so you go, I don't understand.
I don't understand why Anheuser-Busch or InBev, the company, would somehow pair up with Dylan Mulvaney and then lose corporate sales of 24% in the United States.
Well, the reason why they're willing to take that risk is because they were frat boy, like the head of advertising said, they were frat boy images of that company with girls in bikinis and nice boobs and butts and guys drinking and getting drunk and being rowdy and being this whole like image of traditional like American pie sexuality.
And that doesn't align with the future of what would make you eligible for loans, funding through international monetary funds, through future global currency and cryptocurrency, not like independent blockchain, but like universal cryptocurrency, like the US dollar.
They said, if you want to be a part of this, you need to hit this certain benchmark.
That benchmark means that a certain amount of your energy needs to be from renewables.
A certain amount of your products need to be from recycled material.
And you need to, one of the main things from BlackRock, Vanguard, and these corporations is that you need to be a certain amount of diversity and appeal to LGBTQ people.
And so while you sit on the sidelines going like, I don't understand what you mean.
Like, why do corporations want influence on the content is because that's where the country and the world is headed is that corporations want all the power and they want to influence what you can say, what you can do.
They're not going green because they care about the environment.
They're going green so they can be a member of the cabal.
And the cabal wants more membership because once you have all the money and all the producers of money, you actually control the people.
Because what do people need to eat?
What do people need to survive?
They need money.
What do content producers need to share the truth?
Money.
And if you can control, if they get money based on how they speak, you literally control information and you control the whole world.
And it's like a very genius global dominance strategy that requires no bombs, no missiles.
All it does is require you to control the flow of money.
But I also want to say with what's kind of absolutely amazing about this is people that are like, he hired her, I believe, realistically.
Want to get on the right-wing.
You know, train of like.
He hired her because she's a World Economic Forum uh leader.
I think this is why he hired her.
Uh, because watch this.
This is, if you could pick up about 30 seconds into this, why he hired her.
This is going to make sense to you.
unidentified
Here's the thing about Linda Yaccarino.
You may not see her behind the desk at Today or in front of the camera on Msnbc, but you definitely know her work, because if there's one person at NBC Universal who makes every story, every segment, every show possible well, that is Linda.
We call her Yak because we like that.
A lot of other people look at her accomplishments simply by the numbers, the thousands of partnerships, the tens of billions of dollars, a platform that reaches hundreds of millions of viewers.
But here's what it means to all of us, Linda, your transformative leadership and innovative thinking are the reason we're able to reach so many people around the world.
You play a pivotal role in elevating the voices of so many strong women across NBC Universal women like me, women like us yeah, whether it's on our news programs or during the Olympics, in advertising or for people across our company.
So here's the real number that defines your career, one when you brought all the companies, networks, together as one portfolio, you made us all part of one team, one family, and that set a new industry standard.
They're all just happy because their paychecks were guaranteed in a time when network television was failing.
And i'll just say that's that's to me.
What I got from that was that she's genius at profitability and funding and that she basically took unprofitable independent companies, brought them together under you know, obviously they're under NBC Universal, but she brought them as one portfolio and did the smart thing which, by the way, i'm gonna say this to you, this is what networks do, but we should think about this, about independent creators is like that's what you might have to start doing is just being like hey,
we're gonna like we have 10 people and we're just gonna sell an at you an ad and it's gonna play on all 10 shows and we're gonna pay out the individuals based on how many views they get.
But like, maybe it's hard to get views when you only have 5 000 views, but we can still pay you for those because we're selling you with someone with 20, someone with 30, someone with 10 and altogether we're selling it at a rate of like 200 000 views, and that's a very smart business deal.
It would be an attractive reason to hire someone as a ceo.
Like I, i'm i'm very ignorant when it comes to these matters.
Uh, specifically with something like Twitter, as I said, I have no dog in this fight and I don't really do any research into it, but I i'm wondering this is a legitimate question does Elon Musk need a ceo, right?
He, he does need one, right.
So someone like this is an attractive get as a ceo if he's looking to make Twitter more profitable.
Uh however, if I saw that video as a pitch for a ceo, i'd skip it and go to the next one.

Like, I mean, I usually am against the Karens, but it's like, dude, like, what if we actually cared a little more?
Like, what if we actually did care about our society and a woman like that sees her country slipping and she sees that there's like some young chav coming in the neighborhood, can't even wash his car.
And it makes you sad because you're like, this is not how our society works.
You know what's one of the interesting things that I so, while I still think that the United States is the best country in the world and I can't wait to get back because I'm not like there are very, there are very, there are a lot of pros to the way Europeans in European colonies like New Zealand and and you know, British colonies like like Australia, function in the terms of you know, like one good thing is that they actually like care about their coffee right and things like like sitting down and having a good cafe, like.
I always thought it's weird in America that there's so many places to eat that aren't actually good.
They don't make good food.
New York is is different.
Like that New York, if you don't have good food, you're not going to survive in the city.
You have to make good food.
But in a lot of places in the US it's just a lot of like Applebee's and bad places that don't taste good and they just survive.
Australia, in a lot of European countries, care about quality right, like here, the bakery separate from the grocery store and the bread lasts like four days because they don't have whatever's in it.
In the US that makes it last, you know a long time.
And if you look at the ingredients of some of the same foods in the US and here, this has like four ingredients, the US has 32 and you don't recognize any of them and I don't know why.
On the flip side, they have a TACO BELL here and it actually tastes healthy.
That's scary and it doesn't taste very good.
It tastes like you're eating like proper beef.
I want fake beef.
If I'm gonna eat TACO BELL, I like it because it's fake and I'm eating microplastics.
That's why I eat TACO BELL.
It's to consume microplastics.
Interesting, I'm saying I don't, I want a healthy.
I don't want healthy TACO BELL like.
Do you know what I'm saying?
It's pros and cons, it's like, it's like and and that and because it's slower, cold.
These, these cultures are slower.
They're not convenience based.
They don't have grind culture like in London yes, like in Sydney center sure, but the like townships and around are very much like lifestyle centered, they're relaxed, they're chilling.
It's like Italy, it's like Greece.
This is why the West is collapsing, because everyone's like on a relaxation.
But there's one thing that they do not do in these countries and that is they're not violent and they're very peaceful.
But that's changing because there's certain groups of people that have entered the country and a lot of the people I'm not joking even out here in the UK.
They're really shocked at how quickly their countries went from safe nations where everyone chilled and drank good coffee to suddenly, like someone was telling me last night, like dude, someone's just stabbed right there at the bus stop.
They just this, like this, like dark-skinned guy just put a dagger in someone's neck and there hasn't been a murder here in like decades.
And i'm Get used to it, buddy.
It's gonna be more often now.
And I think that's what I'm saying.
Like there's a sense of like pride and ownership that have given them the peace to live that life.
And that's why they feel superior to Americans because they're like, well, we don't have guns and we don't have this and we just have good coffee and we're rich too and we have a good life.
And it's like, I bet you're going to wish you had guns real soon because your life is slipping, buddy.
Yeah, but I'm like, but it is, it is crazy because I totally understand why Europeans like have that elitism over like they have that classism that just steeps in centuries and centuries.
Like no one understands how expensive it is here.
For instance, like a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house in Sydney sold for $50 million the other day.
It's on, and that's Australian, but that's still 30 million U.S.
The housing market here is one of the most insane things I've ever seen in my entire life.
I've never seen anything quite like it.
But I will say that, you know, it's very hard to get ahead in European countries and European-centric societies.
They don't have vertical movement.
So if you're going to come into a neighborhood that's wealthy, it's like the governors here, their families have been governors and in European colonies since the 1700s.
No one gets it, but it's not like America where it's a newer nation and the people, like even though Australia is a newer nation, it's very much just like a British colony.
It's what it is.
It's really Britain.
The United States is its own country.
It is not a British colony.
The United States is the United Mother Effing States of America.
Like there are eagles.
We shoot cholesterol-filled bullets at, you know, at minorities and stuff.
Aren't you kind of jealous, though, of that class structure?
Like, that's what's so attractive about the medieval grind set.
You know, I wish I was born into a specific class because there's really nothing I can do about it.
I can't necessarily marry up unless I'm like a hot young woman.
I can't really, I can't really do anything.
So I accept my situation.
I accept the class that I'm born into and I just make the best of it.
Medieval grind set, you know?
I kind of, I got there over here in America, there's too much pressure for upward mobility.
There's too much pressure to be an entrepreneur in order to be able to afford the house that we can no longer afford like our grandparents or parents did.
So I'm actually becoming less of a fan of the American system and American capitalism and more of a fan of that European way of living.
No, And I don't care about losing people anymore in terms of like, I just want to be completely honest.
So no, but I'm with you on this.
So what I was going to say is I do love, I do love living in a society that is, this is a classist society.
Like they actually have a word like tall poppy syndrome.
So what Australians do, but what's crazy is Australians, you don't want to cross them, even though they're nice people.
Like if they feel like you took the spotlight from them or like you're in the spotlight and you shouldn't be, they'll go try to like rip you down like a lobster.
Like they'll try to rip your legs off and destroy your life.
And it's this like nasty Australian side of like keeping people in their class.
So like if somebody's like, you know, like you're, you, you would dislike somebody, let's just say for driving a nice Porsche when they're like new money and they maybe just like bought this Porsche and you're like, what the hell are you doing?
That's not your class.
That's not who you are.
You weren't born into that.
You're just trying to be something you're not.
And there's this like pull.
And it goes with the corporate ladder too.
If you work with someone who's Australian and they feel like they don't want you to be in the position you're in, they'll feel like there's not like a vertical movement even in the corporate structure.
They'll like people will rip, will rip you apart.
They'll like destroy, try to destroy your entire life.
And it's called like tall poppy syndrome.
And it leads to very nasty class battles of people.
And I know, and I know a lot of Australians.
And it's a very nasty side of the culture that people don't see, though, which is that upward mobility is very difficult.
However, the reason why they mock America is because there's a lot less poverty in Australia.
So my goal is I like American society better, but I just want a vacation here.
Like I just want like one month a year to like be in a place where people are not trying to make more money and they're not trying to grind and they just want to drink coffee and hang out.
But when you live in it, it's like people look at me like, it's like, oh, you're an American.
Like nobody talks about money.
Nobody's like about like, there's no networking.
Like it's just not how people are.
And I'm like, I need to get back to the United States very quickly because people here just want to chill.
And you also find out too, by the way, with my new street video, this is like the craziest atheist society ever.
And like the average body count last night was like somewhere between 30 and 50 of the people I spoke to.
It's probably one of the most insane places in terms of like just like the cultural Western revolution.
Everyone here is like an atheist with a body count.
People said that like they thought that like probably a good place to stop before you get married is like 100, 120 was the average answer I got.
Like 120 sex partners before you get married is probably Risha Cap.
But I do bring up the fact is, is that that's why I had to take a picture with this group of people if you're just getting the live is because, you know, usually Australians are very attractive people.
But I, you know, found this amazing group of attractive people on the center.
And the questions we're asking are absolutely phenomenal too.
Let's look at some of the crazy stuff that didn't make it into the funny thing.
This is WTF.
Videos and topics I don't understand, but they're weird and they make it into the show.
Let's see it.
got we had a longer first segment to be short um i just want to say these uh oh yeah these of uh people have like life western life has gotten out of hand
Uh, this video is pretty crazy.
This is like the life, a day in the life of like an OnlyFans girl.
And it's, well, okay, just watch this.
This is the armpit hair is already enough for me, but just watch.

Here's a day in my life as a content creator who makes $20,000 a month spends nearly none of it.
I'm going to be super brutally honest about how I spend my day and not sugarcoat anything, even my bad habits.
I wake up with the sun and start promoting a different subreddits.
I've already made about $450 today while I was sleeping.
Then I had someone request some customs, wanted pictures of me in this red bikini, so that motivated me to get up and take some photos.
And then I went right back to bed to edit them.
I don't put on makeup, I don't get ready, I just get up and go.
Then I cashed out on my cash shop and texted my boyfriend because he's actually on the way to see me here in Ecuador.
Checked my email and saw that my APY went up on my high-end savings account, so that's dope.
Then I decided to take a break and do some exercise.
I don't have a yoga mat, so this is what we're working with.
I set up around the pool area below my house.
Fun fact, I actually paid $718 to stay here for a month.
I'm in a rural fishing village about six hours from Quito, Ecuador.
Here I am just doing my abs and my Pilates.
But just wait until you see this view.
Like, is this not gorgeous?
So then I take a shower, put on the same exact shirt I was wearing before, and I start making my breakfast.
My fruit on the bottom moment.
I pour my probiotic yogurt and my studio sweeten granola.
I broke a nail while I was playing the strawberry, so now I have to cut that off.
Ow.
But then I ate my breakfast and responded to some more messages.
I head over to my really messy unpacked suitcase and I step right over that.
Then I head outside to my hammock with an SJM book and I get cozy to read for an hour.
Then I got hungry again, so I made myself a cucumber prosciutto sandwich.
I went back to the hammock and responded to messages.
I had an audio request from a guy who really likes handcuffs.
So here I am trying to find things that sound like them until I finally found something that sounded just like them and recorded my custom audio.
After that, I started getting my place ready for my boyfriend to arrive, packed up that suitcase.
I had a meeting with my real estate agent in Costa Rica.
They reviewed some properties.
Then I lost power and it was really dark.
So I used my hotspot to watch Game of Thrones and waited for my boyfriend to arrive.
Yeah, you should be like, dude, I think here's the deal: is like I said, if people know I'm like working on rebranding the whole show, and kind of like, that's even with the street content, working on kind of like a relaunch and a re uh producting of what we're doing because I've been kind of just cruising here on the internet while my kid is born figuring out where I want to go with these things.
But you ought to understand, we have a lot to do, we have a lot to go about.
And I find that I find the future to be very bright.
The future is very good.
Because as long as you enjoy making content, that's what matters the most.
As long as you enjoy your job, as you enjoy what you do.
And that's what I think with these OnlyFans people is I don't think they enjoy anything.
I think they enjoy making it look like they enjoy it.
And it's like, because that's not a good life.
They're like adult babies.
In the fact that, like, like, I see this is a grown woman, right?
And it's like, I get up, I don't do, I don't do crap, I don't put on makeup.
I bent over, showed a little bit of my underwear.
I got back into bed.
You're like, ma'am, this is called depression.
Okay, so let's keep going.
We call this clinical depression.
And then I got back into bed.
And then, like, I got up and I used, I'm in, like, a shack.
I only spent $700 on this.
Ma'am, you're in a, you're in a homeless encampment.
And in Ecuador, like, oh, I'm supposed to be like, unless you're Ecuadorian, like, I don't want to be in Ecuador.
Like, there's no reason to be there.
Like, people are like, why are you in Australia?
Okay, first of all, Australia is a very cool country.
It's very modern.
It's just not, wasn't cool the last few years.
And it's not going to be cool long term.
But we're in a short window where it's cool again.
And then you got to get the hell out again.
But it's like, and she goes on going like, yeah.
And then I made like some audios, handcuffs, like a baby, right?
She played with keys.
And then my boyfriend, you know, came over because it's now his turn, right?
It's not, that's not his girl.
It's just his turn for the day.
And he's like, now my boyfriend's coming over.
He's a total cuck.
And I laid and I made a little sandwich and the power went out.
Bitch, you're in the third world.
You're in the third world showing your vagina, the vagina to people.
And then you like woke up and you like, you're, she's the type of girl who's doesn't know what she wants to eat and her tummy always hurts.
Do you know those girls?
And she's always taking naps.
Oh, it's the worst kind.
It's the, that's, my tummy hurts.
Oh, I don't know what I want to eat.
I'm tired.
Me tired.
I want to take a nap.
We're about to get back to 15th century executions if you don't stop.
Yeah, it's acceptable for pregnant women only when they don't know, really know what to eat and they want a nap all the time and they got tummy troubles.
It's acceptable for only pregnant women, not 20-somethings making key jingling ASMR.
That is, like you said, a sign of depression and a sign of mental illness.
I'm just, I can't help but think about the guys who are paying for this.
And she probably gets a couple tips, like 500 bucks for some weird requests.
And they're always mid, too.
You know, and I don't, I really don't like commenting on whether girls are attractive or not because I like, I feel like it's very, what makes a woman attractive is very different than what makes her sexy, right?
Because sexy would be just considered like outward appearance and it's sexual energy and like sort of like traditional hotness, right?
Like if you would ask a 16-year-old boy what a hot girl is.
But like beauty and attractiveness can be wrapped up in a lot of attributes.
Like, I mean, girls don't realize how sexy really and how attractive cooking skills are.
Make sure that you click and you subscribe to Rumble because if you're on and you're not subscribed, then there's something mentally not okay with you.
There's something not okay, and there's a problem, and you've got to get control of it.
Let's get in and look at a couple more of these stories here.
I wanted to talk a little bit about something that happened with you.
This is also something that happened.
You interviewed a LGBTQ pastor, right?
This is going to replace the SOB segment today.
Usually we have this like, like, this segment and it cues.
Okay, because we're going into your, you interviewed this pastor.
I'm very familiar.
He's been, we've seen him on the show multiple times over the years.
He's an interesting gentleman.
And this has to kind of go with the idea of what you said about being Christ-pilled.
A lot of people are turning towards Islam.
And a lot of people are saying they're not feeling the Christ pill because when they go to the Christian church, they find pastors like this, which is alarming.
And it is shocking.
And I want to give credit in saying, this is not Christianity.
This is cult.
This is progressive cults that just put on a mask like I could be a ninja for Halloween, but me no Chinese, me no kung fu.
Well, you know, if you play the clip, so I'll go back into the history of this.
I had seen, I believe, a clip of this queer pastor is how he described himself.
He described himself as a queer pastor.
And there was like some clip I saw on TikTok or on Instagram where he called Jesus trans.
And I said, okay, this guy's on something interesting.
And then I saw a debate that he had with Jeff Durbin of Apologia Studios where they debated, I guess, this sort of queer theology that this pastor, Brandon Robertson, professes and preaches.
And they were just going back and forth for about an hour and a half.
And it was really kind of like a syntax and I guess a word debate where they were saying, well, what does this translation mean?
What does that translation mean?
All you have to say is God is not trans.
Jesus is not queer.
That's all you have to say.
There's no evidence to support that in scripture or in church teaching.
So I wanted to talk to this guy.
And I had him on the show.
And it was a very, it was a very friendly discussion.
Like I said on a live that I did, I don't want to bring people on in order to have them either rage quit or to be confrontational with them.
I just kind of want them to out themselves and just put out what they believe and then just kind of show that to the world and have the world decide.
I was going to say, someone said, I love Elijah Fitzma with the libs.
I'm going to tell you this.
The libs are a ton of fun to make content with.
And that's a true statement.
Like, there is nothing more interesting than sitting down with like a gay pastor and talking about stuff.
Because genuinely, if you guys enjoy it, we enjoy it more because you're like sitting there and you're like, what the hell are you talking about?
Like, I'll just be sitting.
I mean, I love uplifting and truthful things and talking to people who agree with me and, you know, give me insight.
But like, you know, talking to a Thai woman and making her confirm to me that she's not a ladyboy, and then her threatening to flash her vagina on the street and then me having to stop her by pointing to the cops, and then her telling me that she's has an 80 body count at 29 but also wants to keep exploring her sexuality because she feels like she doesn't know it enough.
To me that's just like fascinating, because i'm just like wow, that is just.
I don't run across this, but we don't support these people, we don't love that they're lost, we don't encourage them to be lost, but it makes for a hell of an entertaining in interaction and I want to watch this clip, watch this.
Uh, not that you personally did I assume that you are out of whatever closet you may have once been in.
unidentified
So many fascinating theories about Jesus that are worth exploring, even if they're not true.
Uh, you know, it's like dinosaurs yeah um, I mean, I have a statue of Mary uh, and I know a lot of uh, Anglicans and Lutherans that are kind of devoted to Mary as the way Catholics talk about Mary uh, the mother of God, the Theotokos in the Eastern orthodox tradition.
Like, when I use the word queer when i'm doing talks in the Uk, people are like, why are you saying that word, even if they're queer?
Yes uh, it's changing.
Um, it makes my brain kind of spin around in my head.
I don't really know where to put my finger on that.
The problem with this pastor is because, you know, I'm Catholic.
Okay, so I try to bring as many people into the Catholic Church as I can.
The problem with him is that he is of a non-denominational Protestant worldview.
And what we know about Protestantism is that we know that it is the Christian progressivism.
And every Protestant is his own authority on scripture, on church teaching, and what is that?
It's a slippery slope.
If it's not the Protestant himself, it's the congregation.
If it's not the congregation, it's the pastor.
There's no hierarchical structure.
They can interpret it however they want.
And this leads to chaos.
That is why in the Catholic Church, we have 2,000 years of dogma and doctrine.
Our church was founded by Jesus Christ.
Our first pope was Peter.
And there is a hierarchy there.
Okay.
There's something that we can tangibly touch and say, okay, Augustine had said this.
This father of the church says this.
This doctor of the church said this.
It's not Pete who's in the strip mall church with the Starbucks in the, you know, in the front, in the front area, who is the ultimate sort of arbiter of what has been said in scripture and what we should believe.
So that's why I feel that Protestants in particular are especially lost and especially more prone to progressivism, more prone to wokeism.
And I want to talk to these people, and that's the reason why I had Brandon on.
I mean, I do disagree with you 100% in many ways there.
I mean, number one, meaning that one of my favorite parts about Catholics, and I'm no saint, you know, in any way, no pun intended there.
But I love like, you know, the attrition and what goes on in Catholicism where a lot of people really do lack, I think, a personal understanding of God.
And a lot of their faith is just very physical and religious.
And they're just like, well, I was baptized into the church and I went through, you know, catechism and I was confirmed and this and that.
And there's really no genuine authenticity.
They think it's like a matter of physical action.
So I feel like with all organized religion, Protestantism and Catholicism, you really can lose the substance of the purity of what it was intended for.
And I love Catholics, by the way.
I have a lot of, most of my family is Catholic.
My family is primarily Jewish, Catholic, and Mormon.
Nobody's really Protestant in my family.
I'm one of the very, very, very few people.
But I also agree with your criticisms of Protestantism, right?
Like I feel like genuinely the non-denominational, this idea of like abandoning church tradition and just sort of like being equivocal to accepting anything leads you to be able to be influenced because now you're living by emotion and feeling and you can be changed with the era and the time.
So now you're susceptible to like the LGBTQ infiltration.
And unfortunately, that influence has also happened with a lot of Catholic people, maybe not necessarily in the leadership, in the official leadership, but a lot of Catholics have become very secular, very worldly in their practice.
Christians in general have become extremely secular.
And it's alarming to me, though, and this is what I want to bring up, is that while I wouldn't call this guy a Protestant, I would say anybody who acknowledges sin and accepts sin as their identity is they can't, I don't think they can be a, I don't think that, like, you can struggle with sin.
You can struggle with holiness.
You know, without holiness, you can't see God.
And also, we're just human beings.
And we fall seven times, it says, and you get back up.
Yeah, I would classify him as a Protestant, which is weird because he is a pastor.
So it's very hard to find an agnostic pastor in a Christian church.
He said, if you go watch the episode, it's not very long, but if you go watch it, he does say that he's still trying to work through his agnosticism, which is a little confusing.
By the way, and I'm not, I used to be more critical of Catholics, but I'm also what I've noticed is that a lot of young people are really not, maybe you're not considered young, but a lot of people need some of the structure.
And so I find that Orthodoxy, Catholicism, this is what scares me, and why Islam is becoming so popular.
I'm not pro-Islam.
I'm not part of that group of, it's weird.
The Catholics, I think, decide that are like, yeah, actually, it's cool, a bunch of young guys are turning to Islam.
We're like on the same page on wokeness.
And it's like, yeah, but they're fundamentally opposed.
We're trying to bring people into a place of self, like trying to get people to go to heaven.
And I mean, it's not us getting them.
And I guess you can get me on technical terms, but meaning like we're not trying to get people, like fight transgenders at any cost so people go to hell.
Our next segment is actually called the Pope is a globalist.
Really?
We're not kidding.
No, Look at what this guy said.
Look what this guy said.
unidentified
Did you know that there's a part of the Gospel of Mark where Jesus uses a racial slur?
In Mark chapter 7, there's the account of the Seraphanician woman, a woman who is Syrian and Greek, both of which there were strong biases against within the Jewish community.
And she comes to ask Jesus to heal her daughter who's possessed by a demon.
And what is Jesus's response?
He says, it's not good for me to give the children's food, meaning the children of Israel's food, to dogs.
He calls her a dog.
What's amazing about this account is that the woman doesn't back down.
She speaks truth to power.
She confronts Jesus and says, Well, you can think that about me, but even dogs deserve the crumbs from the table.
Her boldness and bravery to speak truth to power actually changes Jesus' mind.
Jesus repents of his racism and extends healing to this woman's daughter.
I love this story because it's a reminder that Jesus is human.
He had prejudices and bias.
And when confronted with it, he was willing to do his work.
And this woman was willing to stand up and speak truth.
Yeah, I think, again, this is what a lot of these non-denominational evangelical pastors will do.
Is we all know that people use stories from the Bible to, they use them as metaphors.
Like people talk about David and Goliath and they talk about underdogs.
But Brandon uses a story of Jesus calling out to Lazarus, telling him to come out of that tomb.
He uses that as a call to action to gay people to come out of the closet.
And then he even makes an assertion that there might be some historical evidence to show that Lazarus was in fact a gay man and that Jesus may have loved him in only a way that gay men love each other.
Go watch the episode just to hear his explanation for that.
But that one, I want to say it's not true.
I want to say that Lazarus was, that Jesus was not telling Lazarus to come on out and join the YMCA.
And I, dude, look, the interesting thing about the Catholicism and the Protestant stuff, because I'm not, that's not what this show is about.
And I'm not trying to get into all of that.
But what I do think is the ultimate argument, which a lot of people, again, are leading them to support people turning to Islam, is that people have lost their way.
And I understand because, you know, I've always told people myself as an individual, I've always found it to be interesting that it's one thing to like, you know, the Bible says not to make pastors, you know, in Timothy, it talks about not to make pastors new converts because one of the crazy things is that new converts for several reasons, one of which is that, you know, they can end up falling away from God.
They can have falling into sin and the devil can condemn them.
Meaning, I think I can interpret that a few ways.
Like, you know, maybe if you're in a place of leadership, you're less likely to be humble and ask people for help and you're a new convert and people know that it's one thing to have a bunch of energy in the first year of knowing God and transformation versus like, you know, when your mom dies or something happens and you're actually like, it says like you get tested and you fall and you fail.
And it's okay.
Sometimes you fail and you learn and you relearn and you're trying to get better and you try to improve and find your discipline.
But also the danger of like, you know, like that's the idea of like you have zeal without knowledge, right?
You're zealous, but you don't know.
You don't have wisdom and you don't pair that with knowledge.
And I find that it's ironic that the right-wing conservative Christian movement ignores all the biblical advice for leadership.
And like, you know, like I mentioned, like Prague or You, which I'm not attacking because I don't punch right anymore and I'm just trying to, you know, work with people.
But it's like three out of four of their ambassadors are black and they were all former leftists and they still have like part of their identity is like, you know, XBLM activist.
And like, this is part of their identity, right?
And there's dangers and you see the lack of the ability of critical thinking and to like make arguments and they're still very like ad hominem personal attacks.
Like there's this idea of we've sort of let, it's not just the church, but it's like in general, when it comes to like religion, faith, morals, values, we don't really have strong leadership.
We're not really following the Bible.
And that's what comes down to me is the difficulty with Catholicism, Protestantism, and everything is we've abandoned scripture and we stopped interpreting it literally.
And everything is like, you know, it's like a, like a, like a slam poetry night.
You know, Jesus said that you're a dog and a dog could be a vermin and a vermin could be a woman.
And this is racism.
And I'm gay and I don't like racists.
And you're like, what the hell are you like?
This is not what the story was about.
You've lost liturgy.
You've lost exegesis.
You've lost like basic understanding of just breaking down what the story was about.
And I find that to be one of the most rudimentary problems in everything is we just stopped listening to the Bible.
We stopped obeying the Bible.
And you know what I mean?
And it's very hard.
It's just, I returned to God, you know, like last year because I realized I was a part of like, I didn't know, like I didn't, I was a part of a movement of like faith, but I wasn't following the Bible the way that I should be.
And now I'm actually trying.
And it's crazy when you actually try to follow the Bible, how much different your life starts looking than when you just know the Bible.
It's one thing to know scripture than to actually apply it.
No, I mean, well, I was saying too, like, I've had that return to Catholicism within the last year.
And, you know, having children has made a very big impact in my life.
And I want to be able to lead my family in a very Christian way, in a true Christian way.
But, you know, not only do you have to get involved with scripture and you have to read it literally, but you also, as a Catholic, you fall back onto the catechisms, you fall back onto old church doctors.
And, you know, I think there's a lot of knowledge there other than just reading scripture and, you know, having Bible study group with your friends who are in the same age group as you, you really don't.
I think that's what's great about Catholicism is the history.
And I'm obviously going to, you know, be a Catholic apologist here.
But I think what's also interesting about, let's say, younger people being more drawn to Islam is that they see their favorite influencers who are drawn to it and not necessarily practicing it.
Like, do you think that the recent, let's say, converts to Islam, I don't want to name them or whatever, but do you think that they'll be actually true practicing Muslims?
Like literal practicing Muslims?
I don't think if they're living in America that way, I mean, do you know how many strict Muslims there are living in America versus, let's say, living in the Middle East?
Probably not all that much.
It's very hard because Americanism is not compatible with, let's say, Catholicism.
It's not compatible with Islam.
So unless you're going to be real about it, you know, move to Italy or move to, you know, move to Iraq or something like that.
You know, in this discussion, locals, if you want to join the locals community, they actually had some questions for you that they were wanting to know.
And I want to just make sure I bring these up to you.
This one comes from one of our users, and they said, Mike, I'm very moved by your conversation on doing what's right and following the Bible.
If you could change places with a straight version of yourself in an alternate reality, would you consider doing it?
Well, it depends what kind of Christian country it is.
Look at Hungary.
Is trans is LGBTQ?
Is there any woke agenda happening over there?
No.
There's going to be a big problem with Christian nationalists.
If Christian nationalism ever came to, let's say, the most popular movement in the country, they're going to have to come to terms of which version of Christian nationalism do they want?
Because there's a very large number of Christian nationalists who are evangelical Christians, and there's a very large number of Christian nationalists who are Catholics.
The evangelicals don't consider Catholics to be true Christians.
So there's going to be a problem.
So I don't care about Islam.
I don't care about evangelicalism.
I care about Catholicism and I want a Christo-fascist form of government here in the United States.
I had this conversation with Aldo and John Doyle because I was with some people and they were talking about like girls who were mid.
And I said, I've always had, like, I always said that it was, I didn't call it a binary, but I've, what I used to call it a would you or would you not?
Like, it's either would you or would you not?
You might would you with more excitement?
Would you with spend more money?
Would you with go out of your way?
That's irrelevant to me.
Would you in high school?
We would just a girl would walk by and you'd say yes or no.
We won't use the whole sleep deprivation like, oh, I'm not really getting any sleep.
That's a slow, that's, that's such a cope for dudes because the real people who get to use that as an excuse for, let's say, their mood is the women.
Women really don't get to sleep.
Right.
You and I are lucky.
We get to sleep.
But I'm just saying when there are nights where you are trying to go to sleep and you can't and other frustrations happening, whether you're cleaning the baby, bathing the baby, just things like that, where you just get so frustrated, where you want to have an outburst of anger.
And then you look down at this child.
And, you know, as a newborn, they really can't smile on their own, but they may do something that looks like a smile instantly changes your mood and you feel like you're a bipolar.
And I still go through that even now as the father of a toddler.
And it's very, very rewarding.
It's very frustrating, but you learn so much.
And I love it.
So that's why I can't wait to go through that again.
Yeah, you need to, you need to like, yeah, I mean, it's so early to tell.
But I think it's more or less, it's just a big change.
You know, when you have a kid, it really is such a big change on the relationship.
Like I used to go to the beach every day and stuff and I don't get to do that.
And like, I love my son and I think it's just, but it's obviously, it's hard, you know, I think it's hard because it changes.
It changes.
You have to become less selfish instantly.
There's, there's absolutely no way to not be less, to, to be selfish.
And I think this is when I was talking with someone recently where I was on the internet actually talking to myself.
And, you know, I see with the idea of people saying, I can't afford a kid.
I go, no, you can.
You just need to be less selfish.
So you have to learn how to make adjustments in your life to be able to afford a child.
That's basically it.
And you need to learn that.
So it's not that big of a deal.
You need to chill.
You need to relax.
And you need to be able to have a good time.
But you also need to just change your perspective because your life does radically transform.
But seeing a little mini version of you, I am, his name's not actually Elijah Jr., but we're just calling him Elijah Jr. because we're not putting his name out on the internet or his face.
I love it when, you know, people, if people do ask you, you know, what is love to you?
It's very hard to describe it when you don't have children.
But when you do, you could just point to your child and say, hey, look, there's a physical, a literal physical manifestation of the love that I have for my wife.
Just walking around, just going get a drink of water right there.
Like that's, that's who may be having a tantrum right now, but that is the actual physical representation of love.
It's something tangible.
It's something you could touch.
It's something you can hug.
And, you know, she, she, she started talking a whole bunch.
She's two and a half now.
But now she says, I love you, daddy, before we go to bed.
We pray together.
She knows the Hail Mary by heart.
This is a two and a half year old.
And it's just, it's like, it's so surreal.
And I encourage all the young people watching, you know, the older, let's say conservative personalities will like to tell you, start a family.
But it's, I understand.
It's very difficult to do that because you have to meet people first.
But I am encouraging you to do so.
I'm encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone and go out there and to meet people and to date and to fall in love.
We'll date for marriage, but fall in love because one day you will have that physical representation of love walking around you and giving you a hug before they take a nap.
