Speaker Time Text
elijah schaffer
As I once said, it's a very rare season when Democrats and Republicans unite on a common issue.
But this week, I was surprised as the government got together and stood against a force of evil.
I'm referring to none other than this tweet, which set me off.
Lizzie Marbach, who of course works as a campaigner in the GOP in Ohio, said, There's no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ.
And this set off Democrats.
It set off Republicans who wanted to let her know that this is no land for white men, especially those that are Christian.
Ladies, you will not be spared.
Jesus Christ will be mocked, of course, by our government.
Religious liberty is under attack.
My name is Elijah Schaefer, and I'm your top 17 host here on Nightly Offensive.
This is the best, worst live stream on the internet.
We are streaming live on YouTube, Rumble, and of course, on locals.com.

And of course, if you want to become a member and support the show, since we're demonetized everywhere, we greatly appreciate that.
My guest today is Preston Parra.
He's a reporter who will be on in just a little bit.
I hope he's ready for his best dance moves for the intro.
It is approximately 10.15 p.m. Eastern Time in the United States, and we've got a show for you.
Oh, we've got a great show coming up.
So many amazing stories.
America's doing great, right?
Little kids know about transgender surgeries.
We find out who's behind Biden's Twitter account.
Black people are cooking cats on the streets of France.
Very cultured stuff.
My guest today is reporter and journalist Preston Parra.
Welcome to Knightly Offensive for the first time.
preston parra
Thanks for having me.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, you know, we are happy to have you here.
Well, first of all, I'm glad to see you're doing well, right?
Like all Chads, like all of us men who are trying to do good in the world, the gays, the women, the migrants, they're always trying to keep us down.
You faced an onslaught of opposition this year, but you stayed on your feet because, like I've always said, you cannot keep a good talent down.
So checking in with you from our base.
How are you doing, man?
preston parra
I'm doing great.
I think the reason I've been able to stay on my feet so well is because obviously Christ is king and he's my savior personally.
And, you know, just having a dependence on him seems to be kind of, you know, it helps in a lot of ways.
So yeah, I've been good.
elijah schaffer
I know.
And I know you're not surprised.
That's why I brought you on today because we've got a real controversial story today.
It is pretty insane what happened.
I'm sure you saw it before we even go to the details, right?
Again, another week, we see our Trump, our president, getting indicted.
We see him being put in prison, potentially.
We see false accusations, false charges.
These are very common among people who are doing great things.
But at the same time, our sitting congressmen that we would expect, our Republicans, even some of our Democrats, which we'd hope would love this country over their party, decided not to unite against immigration, not to unite against higher taxes, not even to unite against the criminal indictment of a political candidate.
They united against none other than the Christian religion.
And that's what finally brought the Republican and Democrat Party together.
I don't feel like this is surprising, though, no?
preston parra
No, I don't think it is.
Well, you know, in a way it is because I thought like, you know, the evangelical Christian class had kind of, you know, gone away since like the 90s.
But, you know, sure enough, to my surprise, I opened Twitter just like you did the other day and saw there was an onslaught of people who were pissed off, including Ilhan Omar, which I was, you know, shocked to see there.
But yeah, people, people were pissed off.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, they were pissed off.
And as we get into the top story today, I want to give a huge shout out to one of our sponsors, which is Getting Your Back in Everything.
Now, guys, as you know, you got to be prepared for anything.
Like this channel's demonetized and like you never know when your income is going to get cut off.
But most importantly, as we saw with the fires in Maui, we've seen with recent hurricanes that are possibly coming up, natural disasters, not to mention food insecurity, including with Ukraine and the food prices being disrupted, what's going on with Niger and the exchange of natural gas can be changing food prices.
You need to be prepared for the worst circumstances.
And you need to get yourself food from 4patriots.com using promo code Offensive.
Now, the reason why you've got to get this is this is not just preparation food.
This is high-quality, delicious, natural food with quality ingredients that is, when kept properly, lasts 25 years, which is more than a lot of you guys.
You know that your milk only lasts a couple weeks.
Your chicken only lasts a few days.
How about actually buying some food that lasts longer?
Not to mention, when you get a four-week survival food kit, it's only $277.
I know that I recommend at least the three-month food kit.
Try to get three months worth of food for $897.
Out here in Australia, that's like a bag of chips and a loaf of bread.
And I spent $8 on a loaf of bread.
It really freaked me out.
But one of my favorite things about these people is they have kits that are affordable on the two-week range, $129, all the way down to bundles and kits.
Plus, they have power and solar, water, RV, and camping.
So if you need supplies or even you need supplies for your home, make sure that you get this.
Don't be without these supplies in an emergency.
Go to 4Patriots number 4, P-A-T-R-O-T-S.com.
Promo code Offensive, O-F-F-E-N-S-I-V-E.
That's 4patriots.com for 10% off.
Promo code Offensive.
Link is in the description.
I encourage you to check it out and get into it.
All right.
Our top story today is the controversy.
Christians are not allowed to have their faith because there's a group that's united against all of us and we're sure as hell fighting back.
Protect this woman at all costs.
Protect her.
I'm telling you, if we stop fighting for the single person, then the group loses out as a whole.
You wonder why the story is significant?
I'll explain it to you in just a moment.
My guest today, if you're just joining us, Preston Parra, a reporter and journalist.
So something broke out as we get into the election.
We know Trump said if they come against me, they're trying to take me out because they want to take you out.
And just like people ask, who is they?
The question is, who is you?
And today we're going to focus on one aspect of who you is.
And that, of course, are Christian Americans, the bedrock of our society.
Even more than immigration, which I know has vastly changed the voting demographics of our countries.
When you look at Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe, the United States, one thing we can say for damn sure was different was that people used to be Christian and they're not today.
And even if you're not religious, this should scare you.
Because we start with this innocuous tweet from Lizzie Marbach, who's a very well decorated and honorated conservative leader in the GOP said, there's no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone.
And Preston, we jump in there of saying like, this statement to me is just traditional, very normal Christian dogma.
And if you're not Christian and you don't believe in faith and you don't believe in God and you don't believe in hell, then this shouldn't offend you because it doesn't exist and you don't care.
And if you are Christian, then good for you.
She says a statement, what are your thoughts on the statement?
Like like, when you look at this initially, does this raise alarms?
Do you, do you agree with this?
Where are we at it?
preston parra
Doesn't it doesn't raise alarms?
Um, you know, I read, I read it and I, you know, I see it as something that you'd hear in church um, and so I I don't see it, as you know, incendiary at all.
elijah schaffer
No, it's dude, it's honestly not now.
What was crazy is is so then uh um, we figured that America, we need god.
Right, I think we, we do.
We need a restoration of this.
Yeah, like I like because, because the veneration of god is is monumental, particularly for men like myself who like, when you look at the great men of the Bible, you look at David, or you look at Solomon, like Solomon literally effed around and found out right, he had like, a massive horror harem.
So did David.
Um, these were adulterers, these were murderers.
Uh, you know, there were consequences for their actions, even from the forefathers, right even of like Abraham Isaac, Jacob you have a lot of these, these people, they were men who uh, god used people, not who were perfect, but who were willing.
And the interesting thing is is that is that when you look at this, you know that's a message that I think we can all unite behind.
Is that look, we're kind of all headed towards hell and this country is going along with it, but we need to unite behind a savior.
We need god, We need Jesus Christ.
But of course, Max Miller, one of these individuals who is a sitting Republican senator, right?
Or is he a Congressman?
I'm not sure.
Jumped in here and he responded with, God says that the Jewish people are the chosen ones, but yet you say we have no hope.
Thanks for your pearl of wisdom today.
And then he went on to say here, this is one of the most bigoted tweets I have ever seen.
Delete it, Lizzy.
Religious freedom in the United States applies to every religion.
You've gone too far.
So what we have is a private citizen talking about the way to get outside, right?
There's no hope.
This is a very positive statement besides Jesus Christ.
A sitting member of the United States government targets her and number one says she's bigoted for saying Jesus Christ is the only way and says, one, the Jews are the chosen people.
I don't even know how that makes sense.
That seems contradictory.
And then commands an American to delete her religious declaration because the Jews are the chosen people, not the Christians, and completely, I think, violates his position as a member of the government, but also is violating, I think, her First Amendment as a government official by demanding she retract a statement of religious liberty.
Preston, what is your understanding of what's going on here?
Because it gets crazier after this.
You know it does, and it continues to unravel.
But like, what is your assessment on the situation?
preston parra
Well, hell, I mean, it's like the way she said it, I mean, this is something, this is a very light statement.
This is, like I said, something you'd hear at church.
And he reacts like she just said, you're forced to go to an evangelical church.
You have to be a Christian.
She just said, this is the, you know, this is the way.
This is the only way.
And he has some kind of reaction, like, you know, she's crusading practically, which is what we quite honestly should be doing.
But, you know, I don't know.
I saw that.
I saw that and I called him out because, you know, my family's Jewish.
I'm a Messianic Jew.
I believe in Jesus Christ.
And I said, you know what?
As a Jew, I'm saying I think you should delete this.
This is kind of, this is terrible.
And, you know, we saw tons of backlash and he got pistol whipped, quite honestly, because, you know, he was Trump endorsed.
So he had a clear path laid out for him.
He could just shut up, not do anything, you know, for his entire, however many terms he wants to stay in there.
But instead, he had to say some candy-ass comment to somebody online that he, you know, I don't know what chip is on his shoulder, why he chose to say that or what, but he could have, he could have coasted his career out, but he chose not to.
And that's insane to me.
And now everybody's pissed.
I mean, everybody, I saw people that are from his district saying, we're never voting for you again.
Why the hell did we vote for you?
So I think he got he got he got a little bit more than he bargained for.
elijah schaffer
Well, he did.
And what I thought was the weirdest part about this is it's not strange for some random person to pile on into comment on someone.
But then a state congressman named Representative Casey Weinstein, right?
And you notice something similar about these two guys.
It's that they're both white males.
And so you have two white males, you know, or light-skinned males, I should say.
They're Bavarian last names, right?
They come together to attack.
He says, we may be on the opposite sides of the aisle, but I stand right with Max on this.
Delete it, Lizzy.
And I don't think I've ever seen two people from the Democrats and Republicans out of Ohio in my life unite upon anything because it's such a divided state.
Even we saw the recent disaster in East Palestine.
They're so divided.
But when it comes to condemning somebody for preaching Jesus Christ, it seems like Democrats and Republicans can come together.
And it makes me wonder where their allegiance is at, right?
Is there allegiance to our country?
Because the only thing they can come together on and agree together on is condemning one of the bedrock foundational values of our nation, which is Christianity, reminding people that Pennsylvania, even recently, you know, you couldn't hold even any office, even in sheriff, if you didn't have your faith in Jesus Christ, if you didn't believe in God.
It has actually been ingrained in a part of our culture.
And it was like understood that the founding fathers knew that our entire constitution would be only work for people who were of moral, you know, superiority or basically only people who believed in God and had a high moral character.
And so it's, it's, this, to me, this is actually significant because I feel like this shows the back end of what really goes on and why the country is so effed up.
Because, you know, you're like, why can't they get anything done?
And it's not because they can't get anything done.
It's because what they want to get done are not things that are actually in favor of white people, of Christians, or that are in favor of Americans or patriots in general.
It's basically like, we'll get together to, you know, fight for gay stuff, to fight anti-Semitism, to suppress Christianity.
And you get a sort of, you know, bird's eye view into this is really what brings the political parties together is removing the authority of Jesus Christ.
I'm not trying to overexaggerate, but it is telling, if not alarming, at the very least.
preston parra
I agree.
You know, I think the two biggest groups in this country that are facing a lot of this is, well, at least on social media, the Muslims, I don't know if you've seen it, but the Muslims, they get a lot of backlash because in, you know, that's a lot of posts you'll see on here.
There will be people just, you know, Islamophobic and they're saying all these tropes about Muslims.
And then the things get said about different groups.
And if you say that, then you're banned and you're done.
And that's where I think there's an issue because, you know, free speech should apply to, you know, everybody and there shouldn't be different roles held for different people.
But no, you're totally right.
Christians in this country have to tiptoe around.
You can't even say, you know, Christ is the way, the only way to heaven, without having a congressman come down on you acting like you've just violated his religious freedom.
I mean, it's insane.
It's like we're living in some kind of, I don't know, some kind of religious government, but it's not Christianity.
elijah schaffer
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
It's not Christianity.
And I know that this topic today might not interest a ton of people, but I don't really care because we have to talk about what's important.
And I think it's weird that Ilhan Omar, so she comes out, right?
And it's very rare that I disagree directly with Ilhan Omar, like in terms of she's actually for a lot of things.
She wants to end, you know, Middle Eastern wars.
She doesn't believe in foreign influence and foreign power.
I don't like having a woman in office.
I disagree with that.
I don't think women should be in politics.
I don't think Muslim women should be in politics.
I think that that is counterproductive to the hegemony of our nation.
And I'm openly able to discuss the reasons why I believe that in another occasion.
And no, it's not because I'm discriminatory in a negative way.
It's more because I'm wanting to preserve the realities and the truth and the sanctity of what this nation was made to be.
But at the same time, I'm not a, you know, just going to stick to a partisan side.
She says, no, stating the core beliefs or principles of your faith isn't bigoted, as Lizzie did.
It's religious freedom, and no one should be scolded for that.
It's also wrong to speak about religious freedom while simultaneously harassing people who freely express their beliefs.
And I think it was, maybe it was Eudaimonia.
I don't know how to say his name.
But one of these guys, oh yeah, so I don't know how to say that, Eudaimonia.
I don't know how to pronounce that.
He said, Ilhan Omar has no love for religious freedom.
Is just taking a convenient opportunity to flex her often demonstrated Anti-semitism.
Both she and Max are wrong and should reject them both.
And it's interesting that when a uh Muslim, just because she's Muslim and a woman and I don't even agree with her being in in power, that doesn't make her statement untrue, and I shouldn't.
I'm not going to fight that statement.
She's correct.
These two people united against something I don't, who knows what it was that that tied them together, but it brought them together to hate Christianity.
And she's saying this is wrong as congressman to be speaking out against someone's religion, whether it's her, but whether her bias is that she's Anti-semitic, whether her bias is that she's a Pro-Islamic nationalist, that's not important.
The importance is what she did, what she say is false, and to see people on the right wing attack her and be like, hey, you just said this because you're Anti-Semitic.
unidentified
Whoa whoa whoa, whoa.
elijah schaffer
So you're the ones who just brought the Jewish part into this?
Because I didn't.
I thought they were just two politicians from Ohio named Miller and Weinstein who hated Christ.
Why would I think that would be Jewish people?
That's shocking to me.
What?
What Jewish people hate Jesus and what politicians Jewish politicians working together to like subvert people, not in my, not in my world.
I don't believe that kind of conspiracy theory.
So I like that's outrageous, right.
But then then then they bring this up and they're like hey, actually this is Anti-Semitism, then hinting at the fact that there is a Jewish people working together to subvert people.
And I just got to condemn that on the show and say wow, I don't entertain such ideas.
Uh, but I feel like that's so intellectually dishonest.
Right to like like, instead of just acknowledging you know what?
You're right Ilhan, we have people running cover and saying actually, even if she's correct, don't listen to her.
And it's like, can we not just defend Christians for once in this country?
Can't we just defend Christianity?
Do we always have to concede ground?
I feel like we're always conceding and we're never defending.
What happened to the crusaders exactly?
preston parra
I raise that point a lot.
I raise it on Twitter spaces that I mean it's like, where is the backbone in Christians gone today?
I mean we can get trampled over in every sector of the public sphere and nobody does a thing, nobody says anything.
There's like a couple of people that are willing to risk it all on on this, you know, in social media, and that's about it.
Everyone else is just willing to lay down their arms and let the you know cabal come in here and just take over.
Uh, but to your point about you know them saying that that was Anti-semitic I, I would have said the same thing.
You said, like that the Miller guy, I would have never even guessed that he was Jewish, so I don't know why you would take it there.
Um, but Ilhan Omar, I think she was spot on.
She's spot on quite often but, like you said uh, you know Muslim women.
Uh, I think when you have a religion that's so predicated on the demise of, you know, Christianity and infidels and everything that the West stands for, it's like why put that person in government?
elijah schaffer
But at the same time, you look at her, she's giving us some great tweets yeah, but it's working though, because the we all pushed back and they started deleting their.
They started deleting their tweets, and I won't spend too much more time on this topic, but I will say that the it did work because uh, they ended up apologizing right uh, for this, and we have to kind of give context.
Max Miller end up saying, I posted something earlier that conveyed a message I did not intend.
I will not try to hide my mistake or run from it.
I sincerely apologize to Lizzy and to everyone who read my post.
He apologized uh, unlike Max, uh the other guy Weinstein, who deleted it, but he never said what he intended uh with the post.
So what did you intend and where to delete it?
What do you mean?
preston parra
Where the hell is there not a Christian organization that swoops in anytime Christians are attacked, which is every day, and kind of goes after these people who persecute Christians on the daily?
Congressmen who go after Christian people for speaking basic values.
Do we not have an organization that will come after in America?
Do we not have that?
It's insane to me.
elijah schaffer
Well, we do have the AC ACLJ or what is it called?
I don't know.
We do have something like that that is similar.
We have the Family Research Council, right?
FRC.
We have Tom Fitton as well.
But what I think that Cernovich pointed out, and this is why it's remarkable, is he's saying like, dude, even when a Christian is under attack, our institutions attack the Christians and they don't even defend her.
We have a bunch of spineless fake people in office who aren't who they say they are.
And I think this is where like politics is so interesting to me because everybody's like I saw a legendary energy, right?
Anomaly, longtime friend of the show, said that he's been sort of dipping out of politics because everyone's just turned into like gossiping weirdos and freaks and like he doesn't want kids to be involved in more creative endeavors or things that are actually like moving the bar.
And Cernovich sort of backed that up where he's just kind of saying like, dude, like you guys are all like fighting each other and like talking crap on each other.
And they're going to put your president in prison.
They're going to literally come.
They're going to execute you like they did that 75 year old man.
They're going to arrest you.
They're going to frame you for crimes.
They're going to prosecute your children for self-defense.
And you're over here.
You're commentators and people who could be helping you organize and understand things are raising awareness on things that are useless.
And that's why I really want to make sure that we cover this because while it might not get the clicks, it might not get the views, it's significant because it gives us a better picture of what's actually going on in the world.
And it reminds us of who's really in power.
And who's in power?
Apparently, people in Ohio.
That's what I saw.
But I also bring up the fact that she's still like, Lizzie accepts the apology.
Max, I accept your apology 100%.
However, the truth is that it's not me from whom you need forgiveness, but God himself.
I genuinely pray you seek him and find salvation.
That's a loving, that's a loving spirit.
But I want to remind you, we continue to forgive.
We continue to love.
People told me today, they were like, I said, you know, if they don't successfully get Trump into a jail cell, they will attempt to kill him next.
And some guys are like, wow, we need engagement farming.
I go, bro, the CIA just killed a president in the last 75 years.
And then they literally essentially rigged an entire election.
And we don't know if this was the first of many.
We have no idea what's been going on.
They have countless and endless wars.
We sent $100 billion to Ukraine.
And you think that the government trying to kill the sitting president is engagement farming?
Sincerely, fuck your boomer shit.
Like, I don't want to hear it because this is the reality.
Remember, a sitting congressperson just commanded a citizen to delete their free speech because they praise Jesus Christ.
The reason why they hate us is because they ain't us, but it's also because we have the truth.
And they will never, like, they're never going to, you're not going to see, you know, real discrediting of people in the online right that are in the, in, in the game.
But people like yourself, people like me, people who are trying to raise the truth.
Like I've had multiple hit articles just written about me in the last 48 hours.
It's always something new.
It's always to discredit, right?
They don't attack my ideas.
They attack my character.
They attack my life.
They attack who I interview.
They attack the, you know, the topics of the show, but they never attack the arguments.
Why do they attack us?
It's because we're on the money.
It's because we're correct and we're tactful.
unidentified
Right.
elijah schaffer
And we know what we're doing.
And they know that we know what we're doing.
And we know that they know what we're doing.
But they, so they want to make sure that they silence us.
And they want to keep the rest of those people in the conservative big tent speaking as often as they can because they will continue to remind you that every problem is a problem except for what's really going on, right?
They want you to think the biggest issue is transgender ideology, and that that's really what the problem is in our school.
And you know what's bigger than transgenders?
The fact that our daughters are whores, that 95% of them are whores by the end of college.
That's bigger than transgender ideology and more destructive force than any gay shit you can think of.
And yet they don't want to talk about that.
They don't want to talk about any of that stuff.
Who's making them whores?
Who's pushing the degeneracy?
Who's pushing the pornography?
Who's behind all of it?
We won't talk about that because we'd rather talk about the symptom rather than the cause because we're the conservative media.
preston parra
People from Ohio.
elijah schaffer
People from Ohio are causing it.
Correct.
It's Ohians, man.
But I don't know if you agree with me on that.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
That's where my head's at.
preston parra
Yeah, no, 100%.
There was a meme a while ago that, oh, you know, everything in Ohio is like trash.
So I don't know.
Wouldn't it doubt it?
But I would not be true to my brand if I didn't go back you just talked about Cernovich's comments.
I guess he spoke out in favor of Christ, which is great.
And a broken clock is right twice a day.
But I have, you know, I have to be true to my brain here.
Cernovich is a two-faced slime ball.
You know, he's a sleaze if there ever was one.
He shifted sides.
He was a Trump guy.
He says he was a Trump guy.
And he shifted sides to DeSantis when it looked like it would be politically expedient to get on the new fresh guys train, right?
And then DeSantis' poll numbers go down the tubes and Cernovich jumps over and says, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
Meanwhile, for months, that guy attacked every MAGA supporter.
He attacked Trump every day, practically.
I had personal interactions with him.
It's like, that guy's a total nut job.
But hey, he was right once, which is great.
But going back to the point, I just had to touch on that.
But going back to the point, you know, I really don't know what to do anymore.
I try to encourage people to stand up and say something all the time.
And, you know, we're seeing some more of that.
But, you know, I guess people are just going to get trampled to the point of no return.
Or they're going to say, hey, our president is being taken to Fulton County, Atlanta, Georgia.
And he's going to be, you know, given a mugshot.
This is a former president.
Did nothing wrong.
I don't know if you listened to it.
I posted on my Twitter today.
The phone call that he had was totally fine.
There were two women.
There was a mom and a daughter.
They were pulling ballots out of a, under a table, under the table skirt, pulling them out, stuffing ballots.
And he was just asking about it.
And they're putting him in prison for it.
And like you said, if they're unable to put him in prison, they're going to go after him and probably kill him.
And that's going to be their goal.
And I think that's a big reason why they've denied RFK Jr. Secret Service protection.
They're not even hiding it anymore.
This is just all open.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, no, it is all open.
I mean, the thing about Cernovich, though, that I'll say is this, is like, I haven't tracked his switch on that stuff.
So I don't really know.
I don't really follow politics as closely.
He's always been really cool to me.
Like, he's always been a really cool guy.
So I'll just leave it at that.
But I also think the interesting thing is that with, but I won't, by the way, I'll never suppress my guests' opinions.
And I don't really care if I have my, we can hold different opinions.
preston parra
Yeah, I say effing.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, I don't, I don't, but I don't mind.
I don't care because, you know, a lot of people hate me and I'll still put them on my show, even if they don't even like me personally.
I don't really care.
But I also would say that Cernovich, one thing that he does get really right that I find to be very interesting, because he's always been very good, always been very helpful in life, like in my career and stuff, and always given good advice to me, is that I find to be the problem with politics is that sometimes a lot of us could see that DeSantis was never our guy.
And it is embarrassing, though, to me, anybody who supported DeSantis at all.
It's just embarrassing because he was never going to stand a chance.
He never had a chance.
And now he's pulling like 137th place behind like literally the book on my shelf.
Like he's the book on my shelf has a higher approval rating because, you know, the guy should have just, like, again, he should have just gotten behind Trump.
He should have ran.
I think he should have ran and said, I'm running as the backup candidate if Trump goes to prison and we are going to fight to keep Trump out of prison and we're going to fight for you and spoken highly of Trump.
He should have just spoken highly of Trump everywhere and said, I'm not running against Trump.
I'm running with him.
And I want to keep this country together.
And I want to make sure that we have a backup and a fallback plan to keep this country.
And then he could, you know, probably he wouldn't have won, but it would have been like a positive thing for his campaign because he was running to like keep the part, you know, the party together.
But instead, he did something else.
I do want to leave with this, though, is that they did end up deleting their tweets.
They ended up backtracking.
And now left-wing watchdog groups are on her butt, right?
Really, really, really trying to get on her.
This was made me laugh a lot.
Now they're reporting, right, that Lizzie Marbach of Ohio Right to Life is a Christian nationalist that believes women should be submissive to their husbands, you know?
I guess.
Wow.
Really, really tough stuff.
So I guess that's just where we're at.
And I have no idea how we've gotten here as a society.
We are going to be talking a little bit about things going on in the Matrix.
We're finding out the way to finally get inflation under control is through fighting climate change.
But I want to give a huge shout out to one of our sponsors today, which of course is Native Path Collagen.
You guys have got to understand the importance of taking care of your health.
You know that you've tried many things, but of course you hear about seed oils and take this vitamin, that vitamin.
But little do you know that one of your organs, your skin, right, connected to your nail bed, connected to your even joints and what's going on, you need to be taking collagen.
You need high quality collagen.
You need collagen you can add into your morning routine.
You need collagen that you can add into your evening routine, something that is like doesn't taste bad, something that tastes delicious, something that goes and is nutritious.
So collagen is important if you don't know this.
It supports bone density to reduce fracture risk.
Many of you know as you get older, you want a strong frame.
We are seeing reduced structural security in bodies over the years.
This also promotes joint strength and pain-free motion.
If you type a lot, if you're at the office, if you use your phone a lot on social media, why are you not taking collagen, keeping your joints strong?
It also accelerates tissue recovery and healing.
For those of you who like to go to the gym and like to keep up on that, so important.
It also improves skin elasticity and minimizes deep wrinkles.
So absolutely great if you're aging, especially for women and you want to keep that youthful look.
It also enhances hair follicle thickness for the boys to keep that hair on your head, prevents balding, and corrects weak or damaged nail beds.
You can get a 55% off press plus free shipping at stopboneonbone.com slash slightly.
And I want to remind you guys, according with all the good reviews, you also get a lot more servings at a higher quality than the competitors like vital proteins sold at Costco.
So it's inflation.
We're in a crazy economy.
You want to protect yourself, but at a cost that you can afford and you don't want to sacrifice quality.
Add collagen to your supplementation and what you're doing in your health at stopboneonbone.com slash slightly.

Check it out today.
Well, like I mentioned, guys, we're finding out that the Matrix is going backwards.
We're going to stop inflation by fighting climate change.
Let's get into it.
I'm not surprised.
Top Biden advisor John Podesta.
We have to cut the carbon pollution that's dividing the climate crisis.
And that's what the Inflation Reduction Act is about.
Reminding you guys who we are dealing with today.
My guest is Preston Para, a reporter and journalist.
He worked for some of the major publications to comment on the issue.
I want to play this clip for you guys and listen to this.
This is our government that is leading us into the new age.
Let me get that up.
Oh, we're not here in the computer there, Brian.
We'll go ahead and take that off for a second and let Brian get that laptop back on.
So that one's not on.
But let me see.
Yeah, we'll get that back on.
Anyway, well, he's on there and he's saying, hey, you know, I'm changing, or we're going to fight inflation, particularly through fighting climate change.
And I feel like we should note particularly the problem with this, which is like, how do you fight inflation through climate change?
You don't.
And that's got to be one of the main issues.
There you go.
We should be getting the sound back on.
unidentified
Let's watch this.
john podesta
The climate crisis.
We have to cut the carbon pollution that's driving the climate crisis.
And that's what the Inflation Reduction Act is all about.
elijah schaffer
All right, there we have it.
I just wanted you to hear it from the horse's mouth.
It's like it's really radical that we're attacking Christianity and what we're fighting is climate change when he even admits what we really want to be dealt with is inflation reduction.
And we know, like, you know, you know, who controls the Fed?
Ohians, right?
People from Ohio control the Fed as well.
And so we want to get a hold of inflation.
We're fighting climate change.
I feel like this is the backwardsness of today.
Like, does anyone believe this or are they mocking us?
preston parra
I think they're mocking us.
I think putting a guy in charge who was behind all the Pizzagate stuff, I don't know if you followed that, but this guy was like dealing with children and things and Epstein type of stuff.
And they're putting him in charge of inflation and climate change.
I think it's a joke and it's another one of the things that they're seeing how far they can push the envelope on before people start to raise questions.
People are raising questions, but it's whether or not they're going to do anything about it.
And John Podesta is the guy to deliver it.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, he is.
And I think I brought this up because I know it's a little more serious episode, but it's fine.
We will get into some funny stuff in a little bit.
But, you know, if people are following what's going on with the district attorney indictments of Trump, right?
This is a genuine attack, a full weaponization of the DOJ, a full weaponization of local justice or injustice, where they've literally indicted lawyers for doing legal work.
So, you know, it's usually there's immunity for journalists.
There's usually immunity for lawyers, especially if you're involved in a case.
However, we're seeing there's an actual journalist now, the first journalist being, you know, indicted for January 6th that was proven to have been there as a journalist.
We've already seen break-ins to homes, et cetera.
But the first full indictment for a credentialed journalist is taking place on January 6th.
Who knows what could happen next for a lot of us in that matter?
But even more importantly, is that they released the indictment before it was even served.
And when they're asked as an excuse of like what happened, this comes from the post-millennial.
Why do they always look like this?
Anyway, Fulton County clerk who leaked Trump charges says she accidentally hit send instead of save.
And so, like, this diversity hire, right, leaks the stuff to the press before it's even occurred.
So we knew it was already going to happen.
He was going to get charged.
They leak it.
It turns into a spectacle.
And their excuse is, well, I accidentally, it was just an accident.
Like, I didn't mean to do it.
It wasn't like, it was like, I hit the wrong button.
And we're at that point in democracy where you just like literally commit a crime.
You do, you're subverting an entire democratic system.
And this is your excuse.
Why is this acceptable, Preston?
Like, how much power do we not have that the excuse you can make is that you hit a wrong button and get away with it?
Like, does that just say something about us or them?
preston parra
I think it says something about black people being, you know, at the top of the food chain.
I said it was a diversity hire.
I knew that that was what it was going to be.
I knew it was going to be someone, someone who looked the part that, you know, someone who Fanny, fat Fanny would hire.
And sure enough.
But the charges came out and honestly gave people some time to prepare.
So if anything, they did kind of give us a little bit of a clear.
But, you know, again, it's like how much are people willing to take?
How much are people willing to accept?
This is charges that are going against a former president.
And you don't, you hit send and set a safe.
I mean, I don't understand it.
elijah schaffer
Well, yeah, I also want to know on a more like serious note of like, why do black women always have that neck?
You know, someone of the commenters poised that.
It's got this like neck that looks ashy.
It's got like black folds.
It just looks gross.
You know, it looks sort of like a lukewarm, you know, Motel 6 jacuzzi, right?
Just kind of like just full of, like, just full of like grime and somewhat uncomfortable and somewhat toxic.
I don't want to spend a lot of long time on her neck, but I will say with the Matrix that idea is like while they're indicting a president, while they're charging a president, while they're giving, you know, $700 per citizen in Maui, mocking us, this is what we're being told is the case.
And we're going to get a lot more of this because demographics are changing and demographics are our destiny.
And Lauren Whitzke put up this graph showing what voting would look like if only minorities voted.
And you'll see that there would be 388 projected Democrat districts, 47 projected Republican districts.
And now you know exactly what everything going on in our country is like.
There is a legitimate and intentional, you know, they talk about how the white replacement theory is a conspiracy theory and that there's no motivation behind it.
And then you look at an electoral map and you look at their articles talking about how white people are going to be a minority very soon due to changing immigration.
Immigration doesn't change by accident.
There's geopolitical events that occur as well as lack of border control and intentional visa control like H-1Bs that do change demographics.
This isn't an accident.
People don't come here by accident.
It's all intentional.
What would be the case, right?
Is it because white people are white supremacists and they're racists and they just really don't want to be replaced?
Or is it because of this?
The white people typically vote conservative or Republican overall when you look at white men and there's a certain standard of a country they want.
And this communist, globalist, dictatorial government primarily is upheld by Democrats.
It is a uniparty, but primarily, you know, if there was no Democrats, Republicans would be under more pressure.
And you see, oh, that's why they want to minimize the white population in the United States because they just want power and they want to be able to control the country and they want the full control of the economic output.
And I don't know how this doesn't explain it to people who still deny that there is literally a replacement of demographics going on in the United States, which has been proven statistically by the future demographic changes.
We know that's happening.
It's not a conspiracy theory.
But I mean, like, do you know what I mean?
But I mean, like, this is their motivation, right, in the Matrix.
Why did they want to just keep everything retarded until they finally have full control once they've completely dwindled down the white population and replaced it with people who are not.
And what does that mean?
Because brown people are bad?
No.
It's because they vote left, typically, and that's how they're going to get their power.
preston parra
Well, you know, I have a quote that I gave the Washington Examiner that I'm not proud of.
I said, I myself am brown.
That was the quote.
You know, my dad is brown.
He's from Columbia.
My mom is white.
And one thing I understand is, and anytime I talk about it, I get like the most backlash.
You would have thought I just incited something.
I talk about white people and I'm like, white people are great.
Look at the civilizations they've built.
Look at the great things they've achieved in terms of art, in terms of music, in terms of so many things.
And you look at some of these other civilizations and none of them could thrive in the way, well, none of them could live in the ways that they're able to live without the white contribution.
And everybody has a purpose.
God created us all with purpose, and the purpose is to serve him.
But some people, some groups, or every group is given certain innate things that they excel in.
And there's no problem in pointing that out, but you can't point that out for white people.
You can say black people are, you know, naturally more muscular, more extroverted, less likely to have anxiety.
But God forbid you say white people are more inclined to be, you know, more intellectual or anything like that.
You're going to get just totally trampled over.
And this is a point that I bring up all the time.
And maybe this is controversial.
And I, you know, I try to, you know, be the, you know, good voice online, but white people built this country.
White people are the national image.
We look at, you know, let's say Nigeria.
Nobody would have a problem with saying that a black man or black woman in Nigerian garb is the national image of Nigeria.
But here, you can't say that a white, you know, I don't know, Puritan or something would be the national image, even though, you know, those are the people that kind of founded the country.
You can't say that because we have to be a melting pot.
And that's totally stupid.
If the white demographic dies out here, you are going to see the fastest collapse of a society that you've ever seen.
So, yeah, you know, I'm always telling people that, you know, we need to look out for this because every race makes a contribution in some form, right?
And if white people die out, that's not going to be good for anybody at all because white people are the backbone of this country.
They make up the majority right now.
And if we didn't have white people, I don't think things would be so good.
elijah schaffer
Right.
Some races, every race makes a contribution.
Just some of them are a net negative, in my opinion.
And that's the truth, right?
You know, some of them really are.
And I love these little bitch boy white guys, these self-hating, internalized white hate that they have, you know, in their studio apartments, writing articles.
Like, you know, it's not, they're not being replaced.
It's not true.
And then, like, literally, Australian government releases statistics about how this will not be a white country and it will be like predominantly Asian within a certain amount of decades.
And you're like, just read the graphs, you dumb fuck.
How about that?
You know?
preston parra
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
Like, like, there's not everything's.
But what it is is, you know, I've been doing a lot of research, and I'm not going to get too into this right now because I don't want to blow my reporting right now.
But, you know, I've been finding that a lot of these people actually are government-backed, including related to intelligence, especially here in this country.
Some of these publications and stuff are actually connected directly to intelligence agencies, which we know the media is, but these ones that are particularly to write hit pieces and undermine the right wing, or to like, you know, make things like, we know the CIA basically invented the idea of conspiracy, right?
This idea, that is the conspiracy they did, to undermine people, but there's a huge movement to undermine the right wing and to undermine any push towards, you know, white identitarianism, towards Christianity.
And I'm not talking about like their version of white identitarianism, right?
In terms of like white supremacy as in, I hate everyone who's not me.
But in terms of like, you know, they would say that like black identitarianism, like BLM, is good.
And that if you literally copied BLM's fortitude and you just replaced black with white, they would call you a racist.
And, you know, we all know there's no point in pointing out that it's inconsistent.
There's no point in pointing out that it's not fair.
There's no point anymore.
But there's just genuinely a targeting of white people in the world in Western countries by these government assets, by these publications.
And they wonder why their articles become so successful, why they work.
Well, they work because you work with the machine.
You're literally a cunt in the fortitude and the access of the machine that is literally meant to destroy and subjugate human independence, human value, human identity.
You are an enemy.
of the human race, particularly of the advanced human race or people that are trying to build society and culture.
And these journalists really, really, really, they're all addicted to really weird pornography too, I've noticed.
They have really weird fetishes and then they're very squirmy in public.
They're highly intimidated.
They don't have a lot going on.
So they fight online and they use government asset and government backing and then the lack of tech censorship to try to have authority.
And the nice thing is that people don't care anymore.
Like I don't, like, who fucking cares?
Like, say whatever you want about me, dude.
I just don't care anymore.
You know what I mean?
I'm completely independent.
I've got all my own independent funding.
I don't need you.
I don't care about you.
And I don't care what you have to say.
But I do want to bring up something very important here that we can talk about, which is this switch to, oh yeah, by the way, I want to say this.
And they don't like white people because this is another article I won't get into, which is how the government was upset that even poor whites in the Appalachia wouldn't take welfare because they had something called like poor Mountain Pride, that they didn't want to take welfare.
So there is something different there.
I'll let you know rely on that yourself.
I do want to get into some things that are funny, though, because I think that we should talk about, we should lighten the mood.
We should be able to laugh.
Because people were wondering what time Preston has school tomorrow.
I don't know why everyone thinks you're so...
How old are you, actually?
Everyone thinks...
How old are you?
Are you frozen?
Did Preston freeze out?
Oh my gosh, Preston lost chat.
We asked him how old he was and he completely left the chat.
So I don't know where he's at.
All right, he left the chat anyway.
Let's not ask him that.
He'll be back in.
I want to give a huge shout out to one of our sponsors for today, which of course is Vanish.
A lot of you guys know with firearms, you've been waiting, you don't know what to do, you've been trying to get back in and you've been trying to make a way to carry your firearm with you because the Second Amendment isn't just about carrying a gun.
It's not just about being able to shoot a gun, but having it alongside you for the ride.
Plus, you know, guns don't come with unlimited magazines.
Many of the reasons why and mistakes people make when picking a carrier is it doesn't fit well.
It's not comfortable.
It's not made well.
It doesn't have a guarantee.
And most importantly, they have so many different sidearms.
You never know which one to pick and to fit.
And what's the point of only carrying, you know, some states, by the way, you can only carry like six or nine bullets in your mag.
So you need to have a carrier that fits all of your firearms, works for everything.
That's why I got to talk to you about Vanish, which of course is a holster carrying system that works over body armor.
It works on your waist.
It works on large body types, thin body types, big hips, no hips.
And of course, it's high quality fabric and composite materials together.
It fits 99.9% of firearms, sidearms.
It has a case for two magazines.
And most importantly, when you check this out, if you have any one of these firearms, it can fit it.
So many of you guys know or many of you guys have understood, hey, I'm literally trying to carry my firearm with me.
I want to protect myself and my family and you don't own a carrier.
Make sure you go to vnsh.com slash slightly.
That's vnsh.com slash s-l-i-g-h-t-l-y for $50 off right now and get the holster that many of you guys are raving about.
A lot of you guys have purchased these.
I've heard extremely good feedback.
I don't know why you wouldn't add it to your arsenal, especially if you're looking for a comfortable way to carry your firearm.
I think we have Preston who will be back here in just a moment, but make sure you check it out.
Link in the description.
VNSH.com slash S-L-I-G-H-T-L-Y.
All right, we got to talk about things that make me laugh.
We have some funny videos today.
Particularly, we found out who's running Biden's Twitter account, and we also learned how to get rid of climate activists.
let's get into it all right i'm with my guests preston parra we were We were asking you right as you left, the chat was saying, what time is school for him tomorrow?
And they were asking how old you were.
So that's why we were clarifying that.
How old are you?
preston parra
I'm 21 years old.
I'll be 22 in December.
And class tomorrow is online.
Thank God.
You know, today, when I got the Twitter DM to join this bait, to join the stream, I was psyched immediately because I'm a big fan of yours, obviously.
But today has been a rough day for me because I was in the hospital for three hours and I got diagnosed with like 50 different things.
He had to take home 10 prescriptions, but Elijah Schaefer DM'd me to join his stream.
So I said, I have to do it.
elijah schaffer
No, legitimately.
And he's also, there's Epstein is there with a gun and a camera and making him say that he's 22.
No, what a blessing.
Dude, you'll be, I think it's the lighting and stuff.
I didn't know you were sick, though.
You don't have to say what you're diagnosed with, but I feel bad for you, man.
I mean, you can always just say, let's reschedule.
However, we will say this.
I'm glad you're feeling all right because this is so funny.
You know, obviously we know Biden doesn't write his own tweets, right?
Everything's fake in the way.
Everything's gay and fake.
Fake and gay.
It doesn't matter if you're, I think gay of fake is the more politically correct way.
The gay of fakeness is the political correct term.
I use the original OG, fake and gay.
But, you know, his spokesperson, Corrine Jean Pierre, we found out who's running his account, or at least who's running both of their accounts.
She actually tweeted out today.
This is from ALX.
Investing in America means investing in all of America.
When I ran for president, I made a promise that I would leave no part of the country behind.
And that was 100% a tweet for Biden's account.
And then she deleted it, right?
She said that she talked about it.
Now, I don't know if that means that they're using the same account where the same person just writes all of their messages, but I do find that to be kind of funny, right?
Because if we go right here and we look at this, yeah, this post has been deleted.
Biden's tweet accidentally made it onto Carring Jean Pierre's, which does mean now I know it's not that funny, but this is the second error that a person of color has made in a government office where they clicked the wrong button and they sent some.
preston parra
This is the second time just in this segment.
You know, we're talking about black excellence and black people want to be taken seriously and things like that.
Well, when you get positions of great power like this, being the press secretary or being some kind of position within the Fulton County DA, you would think you would take your job seriously.
You wouldn't press send instead of save.
I know Good and Well in my college classes, if I hit save instead of send to my professor, I'd get an F in the class.
There'd be no doubt about it.
There's no consequence here for these people, though.
But this, I just want to point that out.
This is the second time that an official of this stature made an error posting the wrong thing.
elijah schaffer
Well, this is the problem with the diversity of the country, right?
I mean, if the trains don't run on time, then we're not fine.
And that's a true statement, right?
Like, you always see it's the same people fighting over flights.
And it's the same thing here, dude.
It's the same thing here with diversity, you know, with all Western countries, right?
They can't even, planes don't even show up on time anymore.
We can blame that partly on the scamdemic, sure.
But, you know, you always see the people that are working at the front and people, it's like, like, I look at workers now and people just don't care.
People are irreverent of the seriousness of their jobs.
And you know that they are because of the pervasiveness of tips in the United States, right?
Everybody wants a tip.
And I think that's really bizarre because, you know, it's not just like at restaurants because they don't do tips out here.
We don't give tips, right?
Everything just costs $12,000.
So we don't do tips.
But the most important part is like the service industry is horrible here.
It's literally employees here because of the backing of Centerlink and the socialist structure out here and the fact that if you lose your job, you'll always have backing and free healthcare and stuff.
People don't give a damn.
Like we and me and my wife joke all the time.
Like you could be like, hey, can I get some water?
And the person looks at you like, well, fuck you, mate.
Like, you know, you're like, okay, sorry.
Like, it's like, like, like, it's, like, you know, they don't have soda machines out here, but like, they don't even like bring you water.
They'll just like point to like a place where you can go fill up a cup at a restaurant or like grab a bottle and fill it up yourself.
They don't give a fuck out here about like timing or anything because, you know, it's, it's a system of just basic, it's a broken system of like a lack of service.
They just don't have good service out here.
The United States has always been prided with service because it was something of a respect of the Puritan work ethic, et cetera.
And if you were exceptional, you got a tip.
But now, like, you know, you get like a frozen yogurt, you served yourself, and they turn the kiosk around and they ask you to leave a tip.
And it's like, it starts at like 20%.
You're like, I'm not adding 20% to cost to my ice cream.
20% of cost for my ice cream.
What did you do?
People don't even think they're supposed to be doing their jobs.
It's freaking weird, man.
I don't know if you see that, but I see that everywhere.
preston parra
No, I agree.
I think it's because people just lack like decency.
People lack, you know, I don't know.
It's just maybe it's because of, you know, demographics or what.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But they lack decency.
And I'll tell you one thing.
This is why I'm such a big Elijah Schaefer fan is because when I was blacklisted from Turning Point, you were one of the first ones that came and talked to me and said, hey, if I can be of any help, let me know.
And you said, you know, come on my stream sometime.
You're just such a nice guy.
And people lack that.
And that's what we're seeing.
We're seeing just people lacking decency.
And I don't know what you would associate that with.
I'm sure there are a lot of causes.
But yeah, you know, tipping culture is out of hand and it's because people lack decency.
elijah schaffer
No, I appreciate hearing that.
And that's actually a true statement.
And you are welcome on the show and you are welcome around because, you know, I really don't like this industry.
And I really don't like a lot of the people in it because they're narcissists, because they're loyal to other countries, because they're loyal to money and mammon rather than God.
And so they will literally, I always tell them, I always tell people, this is the one industry where people would literally shoot their best friend in the head in order to make an extra $10 or to get some extra impressions.
So jokes on them, though.
The boys are doing all right.
Jokes on them, right?
We got some confetti going.
Jokes on them.
Jokes on them.
I do want to show you something that did make me laugh, though, because I did like this way of how to actually get rid of climate activists.
This was sort of goes in conjunction.
I'm glad you're doing good.
But it's like, I feel like we need to start trolling these people.
Check this out.
This is a video where a guy actually figured out how to get them off the road.
You know, I don't even know if that's actually a real climate video.
It seems fake because of the double angle.
unidentified
But I will say, yeah, it's a good direction.
elijah schaffer
It's like a training video.
People should make more videos like how to deal with fucking retards.
A new account by Elijah Schaefer, where you just give like situations.
Like you see a fat dumb bitch with multicolored hair.
She's approaching you.
She tells you, you know, she asks you to please use her correct pronouns.
And we can do situations like, what do you do?
A, B, C, or D. Two of them involve criminal actions that could be result in convictions of homicide.
And those are close to the right answer, but not correct.
And the other one, like, can we just, I don't know what the correct answer is, but I think as much as I don't like Vivek very much as to be a president, he's a nice guy.
I still want to be president of the United States.
Like, I mean, he's, you know, seems like a normal industry plant kind of guy, you know, just kind of placed in to sound smart, but he's got nothing to offer.
And he's going to complete the trifecta of Scotland, Ireland, the UK, and the United States all being led by Hindus and Muslims.
You know, that's their whole goal.
Ultimate mockery.
But I feel like there's got to be some more training, right, in these shows of like how to deal with these situations, kind of like with the vaccine, how we provided a lot of people forms for exemptions where we can actually help people because this whole industry is, this sucks, man.
preston parra
No, I agree.
I mean, that video specifically, I mean, you see with the DLM things, if someone's, you know, blocking your way and you feel at all like you're in some kind of jeopardy, you're able to run them over if that's what needs to be done.
If your life's in jeopardy, you have that right.
And, you know, who knows what the circumstances would be if there were someone blocking the way for some kind of climate.
That's what I thought where the video was going to go.
And, you know, that would have been maybe better.
But yeah, you're allowed to do that.
So maybe that should be a part of the training.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
And we have a couple.

I do appreciate you guys here on YouTube.
We're going to be ending the stream in just a moment.
All right, we are back.
We are live.
Confetti of color, confetti of color.
As you guys know, I guess the new show that I'm launching on censored TV starts next week.
I guess we're doing the dress rehearsal, the run-through tomorrow.
As you know, I got a big studio in front of me.
Lots of cameras, lots of fun stuff.
I shouldn't do that, right?
That's not a really good thing.
But we're keeping it fun.
We're going to have a lot of fun stuff.
I'm just pointing, right?
Just pointing.
I should make sure I point when I do that.
The greatest part is that we got a lot of fun stuff happening.
I will be this weekend traveling.
I won't say where, but I'll be traveling to a few things.
I'll be doing some street content.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
My guest is Preston Parra.
If you're just joining the live stream, reporter and journalist, as well as probably continually looking for a new home, writer, everything you want to say, all of that.
He is on Epstein's Island reporting live.
We're going to get into some of these WTF videos.
So these are videos that are strange as we find out that Jesus might have been bisexual.
Is it true?
Is it not?
let's get into the stories for today.
I don't know, Preston.
It's a little sacrilegious, right?
Or there might be a little more of a sack involved in this guy's life, right?
preston parra
Yeah, yeah.
I've seen this guy on TikTok.
elijah schaffer
You've seen him?
Is he, I haven't actually seen this video until now.
I just put it in here because I thought I saw the logo.
Jesus was bisexual.
Wise up and resist hate speech.
Exactly what we need from our churches in 2023 is an alignment with the paradoxical demonic and satanic movement to undermine the West.
What are you thinking when you see this?
Like priests in pink jumpsuits pressing the sexuality.
preston parra
He's not Catholic, is he?
I'm pretty sure.
I looked on his account one time.
I don't know if he's Catholic.
elijah schaffer
I think he's like Unitarian or something or like something like bullshit like that.
preston parra
No, I mean, like, he gets asked questions all the time about a whole slew of things, transgenders, gay people.
And he's one of those affirmers.
He affirms everything.
I honestly wonder where he does draw the line in things that are morally reprehensible, at least biblically and what's not.
I've never heard him say, don't do this, you know.
But yeah, there's something wrong with seeing a priest in a pink jumpsuit telling people that Jesus was bisexual.
I think even I have a hard time even saying those words because I think that's just so disgusting to say.
elijah schaffer
It is.
Let's watch this.
unidentified
Wise up and resist hate speech.
Jesus was bisexual.
Many use the Bible as a hateful, homophobic attack.
It's a known goal.
The Bible indicates that Jesus was bisexual, saying he had a special love for John.
It says repeatedly that John was the one that Jesus loved.
John was the only male disciple present at the crucifixion, and Jesus's last words implored his mother to regard his love John as his partner, their son-in-law, part of her family.
Christian art shows John and Jesus physically close, embracing, cuddling, lying upon each other.
James I, King of England, justified his own bisexuality with reference to Jesus being gay.
Priests, bishops, philosophers, and theologians have agreed.
Jesus was also close to women.
When Jesus was invited to dinner by one of the religious leaders, a sex worker came and washed his feet, dried them with her hair, and massaged them with oil.
On another occasion, he was found breaking custom and chatting alone with a woman, collecting water.
When judgmental men were about to stone a woman to death for adultery, he stopped them.
And then there was Mary Magdalene, for whom also writings say Jesus had a special love, who he would often kiss, who was described as his partner.
She too was at the crucifixion, the first at his grave and the first to experience his resurrection.
His last words to her were, don't hold on to me, Mary, because I have to go now.
Jesus was happily bisexual.
He remained, unusually, unmarried and clearly handled his sexuality and the sexual intimacy he shared in his relationships in a way that was responsible, respectful, and caused no hurt to others.
Being bi, he made no negative comments about or references to LGBTQIA plus issues.
He didn't need to because he understood that God has made us as we are.
And what matters is that we are loving and act with integrity.
Homophobe.
elijah schaffer
Okay.
I don't even want to watch the rest of that.
I, you know, I don't.
unidentified
What?
elijah schaffer
Like, what's going on in life that you even think about who Jesus?
Like, like, was it.
Do you read the Bible and you're like, I wonder if Jesus was like railing dudes.
And if that is that, what is that the conclusion?
Like, is that, is that who's coming to that conclusion?
And I don't like saying priests in pink.
What?
preston parra
Priests in pink jumpsuits are coming to those conclusions.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, because, you know, when I was in seminary or, you know, back in LA, I remember it was a bit of a liberal, like a lot of the professors were, and they made me write an essay about like, they were asking the question in class whether Jesus was gay.
And I just refused to participate.
You know, I refused to participate in the discussion because I found it to be sacrilegious to talk about that in any other way than to just laugh at it or just to like dismiss it, right?
Like, I think if we're having a genuine discussion on Jesus' sexuality, I don't want to take a part in it because I find that to be a spit in the face of God.
But I don't think it's weird to talk about it here as in going, this is bizarre.
Like, this is, this is, this is a strange thing that a lot of these humanists and narcissists do, that they can't see anything in the world outside of their own experience.
So because they're bisexual, because they're gay, they view God through a lens of sexuality rather than viewing God through a lens of the Bible or viewing God through the lens of the church and viewing God through the lens of who he says he is according to the word.
unidentified
They go, well, my experience is that I like Ben.
elijah schaffer
And so then therefore, I have to make God this way.
And they make God in their image.
That's where I feel like the apostasy comes in.
It's they say God is like me rather than I am made in God's image and I can be put in that direction.
So there's like a reversal and you've turned God into a self-formed idol.
You've made him who he doesn't say he is.
It's you said who he is.
So you don't serve the same God of the Bible.
You serve a different God, but you use the Bible as like a framework.
To me, it's just like a false religion.
preston parra
Yeah, I agree.
You know, I feel like I feel an immense level of conviction when, you know, I think I've gone too far on social media, you know, just in calling someone like a political insult or, you know, I don't know, just missteps in my daily life where I'm not being humble or just, you know, whatever it may be.
You know, relatively small things that normal people do every day because we're fallible.
But I just don't understand how this guy can say these things and not feel a debilitating, immobilizing, paralyzing level of conviction out of that.
Just hearing it makes my stomach hurt because it's like that is that is the Lord our God sent for the sole purpose of securing our salvation so that we can glorify him for eternity.
And you've got a guy in a pink jumpsuit talking about him being bisexual.
It's just revolting.
It's disgusting.
And, you know, people like that just need to be totally shunned from society.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, like, and but there's a real impact on children, you know?
Like, if you guys don't know this, actually, I talked a lot about here I've had, you know, my struggles throughout the years with different sins.
And in one promiscuous season of my life, I had an unwanted child, and his name was Preston Para.
We go by.
He's actually my son.
I should have started telling people that.
That's my child.
Like, don't fuck with.
That's my son.
Dude, that's.
Okay.
When I say my dude, you're Jewish, right?
preston parra
Yes.
elijah schaffer
Okay.
I'm going to, like, if I get into a fight with someone and they're like accusing me of anti-Semitism, I'm going to say, my son's literally Jewish.
I'm going to tag you.
Exactly.
I'm going to tag you because my wife's Jewish.
And so I'm going to tag you.
And I just need you to get my back on that in the future.
Like, it's, you're my son.
preston parra
100%.
Got you.
I got you.
I got all my.
Honestly, any criticism that is had, and where what any of my friends they call it, you know, an anti-Semite, I say, well, what the hell is they're not being anti-Semitic toward me, you know?
So anytime, anytime.
elijah schaffer
No, no, no, no.
Yeah, we're not, we're not anti-Semitic.
We're just against people who are against the cross of Christ.
And if you happen to be, if you happen to be Semitic and you're against the cross of Christ, then I'm probably going to oppose you.
But if you're also a white guy and you're against the cross of Christ, you know, we might share some similarities, but, you know, ultimately the gospel, I think, is the most important aspect and the fundamentalism you have to put before things.
But I do know, I do know that, but the thing is, too, is you don't just have to be in disagreement with the cross of Christ to be my enemy.
Because there's some people who are just in disagreement or whatever, but there are some groups and people who are trying to destroy it, right?
They're in offense against it.
So I'm not upset of if I have pagan viewers or people who just believe another God and they think Christianity is stupid or whatever.
Okay, fine.
You know, whatever.
But, you know, if you're trying to destroy or reduce, you know, the complexity and the influence of Christianity or you hate it, then I say that we're not allies.
We're not friends.
But I understand there's a lot of, you know, even white cultures that are pagan, that, you know, have this sort of rich cultural history or this understanding of different religious practices.
And I'm totally, we're totally allies.
Totally cool.
Especially if you just want to fight for your rights and your liberties and what's going on in the world.
But people who oppose the cross, right?
When you're trying to eliminate the power of the cross, then we have no semblance.
And there are some groups that are more keen on that than others.
Because they just say Jesus is just a dead Jew.
He's just a dead Jew and they mock him and they therefore heap calls of judgment upon themselves.
But it also said that the gospel's for everyone, the Jew first and also the Greek.
So you can't be anti-Semitic.
You can't hate Jewish people because the Bible literally says that the gospel is for the Jew and the Greek.
It's for the Gentile and the Jew.
It's actually open.
And if they have a problem with that and they hate the Gentiles then and they hate us and they don't want us to have access to God, that's their problem, not ours, right?
And if you hate the fact that the gospel's for Jews too, then you don't like the Bible because the Bible literally says that.
So that's totally fine.
Either end, I'm going to go with scripture first and foremost.
So the gospel is for every living creature.
And that's like the most important aspect.
And that's a real unifying factor too, because how can you hate in your heart that which is able to be reached by God?
But if you're retarded and you just ally yourself with people who want your destruction, then you're also not playing the world according to the true limits of what physical creation is held by.
You know what I mean?
Just because tigers are beautiful creatures doesn't mean you should go play with one.
I'm just saying, like, you know what I mean?
unidentified
Exactly.
elijah schaffer
You don't have to hate tigers to know that they'll fuck you up if you're not careful.
preston parra
100%.
I agree.
elijah schaffer
Anyway, I do want to get into this something also too.
There was this video that was very alarming to me.
This impact of this stuff is true.
Listen to this.
This is crazy.
This is a girl explaining to someone a snippet of her understanding of like transgender surgery, which I think is really what is more difficult.
Listen to this.
unidentified
If you want girl parts and you don't have them, you can do special surgery where they turn your penis inside out and do the vagina inside.
elijah schaffer
Like, what do you think about that?
Like a kid, a kid, like as a child, you know that people can chop their dicks off and inside out it into a vagina.
Who told this kid that?
And why, you know, whoever's filming this is taller.
They're an adult, right?
Like, who's telling, who's telling their kids this stuff?
I don't get, I don't get the outrage of people that are like, dude, stop telling kids about your weird sex shit.
unidentified
Stop.
elijah schaffer
They don't need to know about it.
preston parra
Yeah, I don't know.
That's weird.
It's gross.
I mean, I'm sure it's, you know, a white liberal woman.
In many cases, that seems to be what the offspring of.
you know, just morons, people indoctrinating their children to be, you know, a different gender.
And it's just, it's crazy to see.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, no, I know.
And I'm going to bring up this last part here about the WTF because I want to go to one more segment that I think is really, really vital that we talk about.
You know, no, I'm going to switch into that.
Okay.
You guys, these are, I asked you guys what you want to talk about today.
We haven't done this segment in a while, but these are stories that you guys chose.
You want to talk about the censorship that's going on ahead of the election.
So let's go ahead and get into it.
Talk about our wins and our losses and what this means for us.
All right.
As I said, SOBs, you guys chose these on locals.
This might be framed a little weird.
This is from rebelnews.com.
Sorry about that.
I'm going to see if I can get that.
Yeah, I can get that over there.
In a weird transfer of power, YouTube actually updated its medical misinformation policy.
And now we'll remove content contradicting WHO guidance.
Social media conglomerates are becoming increasingly essential propaganda tools used to curb dissent as YouTube expands censorship to ensure the consensus of the establishment moves forward uninterrupted.
It goes on to say that YouTube will censor content creators that disagree with or perhaps only question guidance from the World Health Organization or local authorities according to the company's updated medical misinformation policy.
The change has broad sweeping implications for content creators, but the platform's previous policy touched on vaccines, abortion, and content promoting or glorifying eating disorders, but severely ramped up during COVID-19.
It is interesting that, you know, now you can disagree with the WHO, which is why I was saying this is sort of like a Christ-themed message.
It's really important to follow Christ because people who don't follow Christ will use your failures and your mistakes to try to say, well, God isn't real.
Because if God was real, why would you make a mistake?
Well, that doesn't invalidate God because God is not only a person.
God is also the standard, right?
It's a standard that God has set of holiness, of perfection.
God in him, there's no darkness at all.
And so when I am aiming towards a goal of perfection, I'm aiming towards aligning my life.
I'm not fully there.
And I'm also human and I'm tainted by the world, my own stubbornness, my own inaction.
But I will say this, the truth of God doesn't change.
And that's why when I preach it, I don't preach me and my way as Elijah's way to salvation, that I'm always going to get it right, that I'm perfect, that you should follow my example 100%.
I'm saying follow God because God is the way, the truth, and the life.
And that's why a lot of people are afraid to follow God because they are really afraid.
They're like, well, I'm so imperfect and I'm going to be a bad example and I'm going to fail here and here.
unidentified
Yes, but dude, look, dude, look.
elijah schaffer
Yes, it's true.
Okay.
And, you know, with great power comes great responsibility.
With forgiveness comes a lot of responsibility to be a witness and whatnot.
But dude, it's like just because a home is a lot to take care of and it's a huge responsibility doesn't mean that you should choose to be homeless.
Like, you know, like you don't, you don't, you don't choose something that's easy because it's easy.
You do what's hard.
And even if it's harder for you than most, you still choose it because if it's the best option, it's what's true.
And I think that's what's different about faith and reality in God versus the wisdom of the world is like they can't even keep their stories straight.
You know, like two years ago, the WHO was gospel.
It was doctrine.
And then two years later, that's questionable.
Now we don't know.
That's why you can't use the world as your anchor.
You have to use God.
Because if you use the world, then you just kind of go along with the winds of doctrine, toss to and fro like you're in the middle of a wave.
But if you have your faith in God, then you know what's bullshit and you know what's not.
And you kind of direct your attention that way.
But to the people of the world, do you think anyone's going to apologize to us when we told them that the WHO was lying and we opposed them?
You know, because YouTube said that it's okay, now it's okay, Preston.
Congratulations.
unidentified
You can go into that.
elijah schaffer
You can now oppose the World Health Organization.
Let me know your thoughts on this.
preston parra
No, I mean, it's crazy to see.
You know, talking about choosing Christianity, and it's a daunting thing to do because you have to sacrifice all these things and you have to live a life, you know, like, you know, Jesus and embodying Jesus as much as possible.
But at the same time, within the last year, I felt just an overwhelming sense of like reinvigoration, a sense to want to crusade for Christ, for the faith, to defend the faith.
You know, people all the time, I get people all the time that it say, Preston, your Twitter is way too over the top.
You're calling people names.
You're being too, you're going too far.
But we are in a time where we're on a precipice and we're teetering on either just being completely annihilated, losing our people, or maybe making a comeback.
And you know what?
If it's going to have to be, you know, some ish, you know, maybe callous language sometimes, and that's what it has to be.
But the tremendous sense of just duty and purpose that you have being a Christian, at least that I've gotten, has just been amazing.
And so I think the, you know, things that you get out of it are far outweigh the sacrifices that you have to make.
I mean, good God, really, there's nothing to it other than, you know, adhering to what God tells you.
But going back to the who's the WHO, yeah, no, they're not going to apologize to us.
They're not going to say, oh, yeah, we're sorry.
Who controls YouTube?
Who's making these rules?
Because I know they just banned Zirka the other day.
Zerka is like the most PC guy you'd ever meet.
Why are they banning Zirka?
They just, well, they demonetized him.
That's $30,000 or something like that out of his bank account every month now.
Why are they doing that to people who are honing in on true issues, things that are affecting, you know, everyday American?
Why are they doing that?
elijah schaffer
Well, yeah, I think I'm glad Zirka put up.
I mean, I mean, the reality is, because I've been censored so much, I think you shouldn't be upset by censorship.
You shouldn't be upset with who's behind it because we know who's behind it.
You know, I'd say that, you know, like this last month, we probably, being demonetized, probably lost somewhere around $10,000 to $12,000 on YouTube.
And somewhere before, like, I mean, we're making at the height, about $20,000 a month on Facebook, but, you know, somewhere between like $5,000 to $10,000.
And with the demonetization everywhere, I'd say if we were uncensored and stuff, we're probably losing somewhere between $30,000 to $50,000 a month, right?
In revenue, just there, which is interesting.
Not to mention, you know, multiple $100,000 ad deals I had pulled for defending Kyle Rittenhouse and seven figures with the deals I've had related to losing over a million dollars related to January 6th.
I mean, I've mentioned I've lost seven figures of revenue for this show just in the last couple of years alone.
So that's interesting, right?
And that's, but I haven't capitulated and I won't because, and this is what I say, is you'll never see people say I'm incorrect.
They'll just try to smear me as like, they'll just smear me because that's all they can do.
Because what it is, is they're also jealous of the fact that they're afraid to speak about the truth.
They know who's in power.
They know what's going on, but they're afraid.
And so they fear people because they go, well, I'm going to look like a fraud.
So I've got to make that person look like a fraud or I've got to attack that person.
And here's the thing, you ignore it.
This is the key thing in your life.
And this is a good word for a lot of you guys who get like maybe you're a husband and your wife nags you or the opposite, right?
Or your husband's being, you know, a bit of a distant douche, you know?
Like, you don't need to respond to everything.
Like, you need, you don't need to, like, if someone's in the flesh and someone's upset, you don't, you need to focus on what you need to focus on.
And the Bible's really clear on that, too.
Like, a woman, the way you win your husband is by following God and you win him through your actions.
And you, you prove to the world not by what you say.
You prove, uh, you prove particularly by your actions and by what you do, not by who you say you are.
And you just don't let things affect you.
You don't let your ego be fragile.
You don't let people attack you and you don't let it get to you because you don't have to give a defense.
Like Jesus never defended himself per se, right?
What he did is he countered many times and he did defend himself tactfully by just kind of letting people reveal their motives.
And I think when you see the motives of people's heart and what their intentions are, even if people are, you know, do make mistakes or there are issues or, or, you know, things do happen where maybe you did say something incorrect on YouTube that did deserve to get demonetized.
The reality is if you're trying to fight for the truth, you will correct yourself and you will get it right.
And they can't take that away.
They cannot take that away from you.
And the more that they, you know, slander you, the more that they get at you, the more that, you know, your work tries to shit on you, the more that your friends talk behind your back and you know that you're not a conspiracy theorist.
You know that you're not a hateful person.
You know that you're trying to seek the truth.
You know that you're trying to do the right thing.
It stops.
It stops working.
The slander stops working.
The hate stops working.
And you've got to just learn also to just be patient and find your identity in Christ because like a lot of people are like looking, you know, they're looking for a public validation.
They want the, you know, if you're in a public job, you want the public to accept you and to talk nicely.
If you're in a marriage, you're looking for your spouse to accept you.
Some people are looking for that in their children, right?
Then they, then they, then they put unrealistic expectations on their children because their spouse isn't fulfilling certain desires.
And so then they look to their kids to satisfy their needs.
And it's like, dude, find your validation in God and find confidence and peace.
Grow some skin by reading the Bible daily.
Get truth inside.
Don't feel like everyone needs to like you and accept you.
Just be confident before God that what you're doing is the best that you can do.
Try your hardest.
And when you're not trying that well or when you genuinely fail, because you will fail, you will fuck up sometimes.
You may fuck up a lot.
But, you know, the best you can do is keep taking steps in the right direction and never, ever, ever give up.
Don't give up on your marriage.
Don't give up on yourself and your own holiness.
Don't give up on your career.
Don't give up on your dreams and aspirations.
Because if it's not tough, then you're not doing something right.
If you're doing something right, you're going to have opposition.
You're going to have failure.
And failure just means you're trying, right?
That's all it means.
It's you tried and you didn't succeed.
But try and try again, man.
That's what I'm saying with all these people.
Don't worry about demonetization.
Don't worry about getting canceled.
Don't worry about getting blacklisted.
It just doesn't matter.
It only matters.
You lose when you give up.
That's it.
Even you.
I mean, you didn't give up.
You didn't give up in your life.
So you don't lose.
And that's going to make nothing makes haters more mad or people more mad than success.
The greatest revenge.
preston parra
True ideas.
I'm telling you, Jesus is like speaking through you tonight because one of the biggest things that I've been struggling with lately has been patience.
I'm a tremendously impatient guy.
I want to see things happen and, you know, it's a curse, but it's also a blessing in some aspects.
But to hear you say, you know, we need to look at that and, you know, not be so, you know, needy toward public validation.
It's just, that's something that I needed to hear personally.
I don't doubt that it's something a lot of people that are watching tonight needed to hear.
And you know, another thing is, you know, I pray every single day for, you know, guidance from God to kind of direct me where to go.
And I think he uses my circle around me of, you know, fellow Christ believers and followers to sort of do that and kind of show me what I need to talk about.
And I'll tell you, I've got several great friends.
I got an incredible, tremendous group of friends, a fraternity of buddies who just keep me accountable.
They'll tell me if I'm being an idiot and they'll tell me, you know, this is great.
They'll compliment me when needed.
And I've been able to kind of navigate the world and what I'm supposed to do and what my mission is just based off of a group of guys I'm able to fellowship with that I know have a great connection to God.
Even you.
We don't even know each other that well, but I wake up a lot of mornings and I'll see an Elijah Schaefer tweet and that'll inspire what I'm going to talk about the rest of that day.
And I don't doubt for a second that that's not just, you know, meant to be, that God didn't predestine that to take place.
So I think it's incredible that God's able to use us in so many ways to help each other out.
elijah schaffer
No, it's true.
And like I watched today, you know, Scott Adams had his book banned on Amazon.
Glenn Beck had his podcast removed.
And the thing is, a lot of people came to their defense and they got it reversed.
Now, a lot of people don't know.
You know, a lot of people feel insignificant in the world because you're not a Glenn Beck, because you're not a Scott Adams.
You don't have millions of followers on the internet.
And when bad things happen to you, no one seems to really care.
But, you know, it's not righteousness and justice is not about how many people are on your side.
preston parra
Okay.
elijah schaffer
And that's one of the most important things.
Like, I've had somebody mock me publicly recently.
They lied about how many views my show gets, compared it to somebody else's.
And I felt bad for the person.
Because I go, you know, you think that influence is equated to the amount of views you get on your videos?
Like, do you know who gets the most views?
The people who are usually saying the least truth.
That's not a metric to describe success in terms of influence.
It may be monetary success.
And we all want to make money.
That's not a lie.
But that doesn't equate success.
You could just be bullshitting to follow censorship rules and then you can make more money.
I could do it too.
I used to do it.
And I used to get the same amount of views as a lot of these people.
But then I stopped and I get in trouble and get in trouble, get in trouble.
And I don't really care.
I don't care about that.
The point is that I want to get more and more truthful.
I want to get more and more on the money because it's more about being honest and being able to enjoy life.
I watched this video by Casey Neistat the other day.
You know, he's an original YouTuber.
And it really struck me genuinely in the heart because he talked about, I'm going to make a point here, how he went to a VidCon, like a convention for YouTubers, and somebody approached him.
This guy's got millions of dollars, millions of subscribers, one of the highest viewed creators in history.
And the creator asked him, like, you know, what is your advice for young creators who want to grow or who should they hire next outside of an editor?
And he kind of broke down.
Like, what happened to the content where all people care about is growth?
Like, what about like the creativity, the enjoyment of the process, being satisfied with the product, right?
And a lot of this stuff has become about growth and money.
And I've decided with this show that those will be second and tertiary.
The key thing I'm going to want is to be happy with my show for the day.
I'm going to be happy with what we talked about.
I'm pleased with the topics.
I think we were honest as is appropriate for these platforms and these mediums, right?
And I mean by honest as, meaning, you know, I have balls.
That doesn't mean I'm going to pull them out on the camera, right?
And am I being dishonest about having balls because I haven't showed them on the show yet?
unidentified
Maybe.
elijah schaffer
Maybe I don't have them.
But sometimes there's a place to pull your nuts out and there's a place not to.
And so, you know, you have to understand there's a time and a place for everything, you know, especially in media and under heaven.
However, I digress in the fact that, yeah, like you know, you'll see a lot of people who are out there who are looking for exterior validation.
You know, I want more followers, I need more money, and their content gets worse, their message gets more and more watered down, it gets more and more censored.
And I'm not hating on them because that's their own path.
But why would young people aspire to live a life of anxiety where the way that you view your success is by how many followers you gained in a month?
That's absolutely shit.
Jesus had his 12 and his 12 only, right?
And the majority of his followers were after his death and then his subsequent resurrection.
But still, it was after he left the earth in his ministry that his main followers grew to where they are today.
Your impact isn't just about who accepts you now.
Sometimes you are needed and called to the earth to be hated.
Sometimes you were called to this moment to be betrayed.
Sometimes you were called into this earth to be crucified.
And you don't think that you have pride and ego above God to try to say, well, but I want to be liked and I want money and I want to be loved and I want to be understood.
Well, then go ahead and enjoy the world and the things of it.
But that's why I think the media is so toxic because all these people will mock you.
Like, well, you don't have followers and you don't have this and you don't have that.
And a lot of people watching this will know that.
It's people are like, will mock you because you chose to have less money because you wanted your wife to stay home.
And so you don't have a nice car like your friend from high school, like your friend from college, like your brother or your sister.
You don't have a big home.
You do struggle a little bit to pay bills.
But so they mock you because you're not successful.
You're not like them.
You don't have a nice BMW.
You don't have a nice big house.
But then you know, what am I called on the earth to have?
Am I called on the earth to have a BMW and a nice house?
Or am I called to build a family, to protect my wife, to have a system and to raise the next generation?
I won't sacrifice that for a new car.
And so I'm saying, like, we have to be very strong and confident in God and what our calling is in order to continue on our missions.
And somebody needs to hear that, but you got to just stop caring about what your life looks like.
unidentified
All right.
elijah schaffer
Hey, you guys don't care what your life looks like because you're going to get fired.
You're going to get chastised.
Things are going to happen.
People are going to hate you if you're trying to do the right thing.
And that's just going to happen, right?
I mean, it's just going to happen.
And if you do the right thing, you're going to do the wrong thing sometimes, even more than other people, because you're taking risks.
And risks come with positive benefits and very negative benefits.
So sometimes you end up getting screwed over.
You screw over yourself, right?
So it's not like you're perfect.
However, I just want to say that, you know, is that in the midst of all this, you got to get out of the ways of the thinking of the world and just realize that it's like, you know, there are these YouTubers that get a million views per podcast episode and they have millions of dollars.
And Nick Fuentes has whatever, so many thousands of people watching him live every night.
And yet he has bills in the House of Congress being his name being, you know, said to try to, you know, discredit him.
He has the government trying to stop him and people trying to ban him.
So is numbers really influence?
I don't think so.
And is numbers really power?
No.
And so you don't judge by the metrics of the world.
You don't judge based on the matter.
You judge based on how much, how much what God has called you to do.
And if you are true to what God has called you to do and you're poor, then so be it.
I don't like being poor.
I don't want to be poor.
But I, you know, you like whether you're in prison or in a great home, you will be content because you will be satisfied because God will give you peace that passes understanding.
I mean, I just say that for somebody in the chat.
Somebody needs to know that to stop giving a shit.
You know, I don't know if you agree with that.
Maybe you do.
preston parra
100%.
Based.
Yeah, 100%.
God is literally speaking like vicariously through you to me right now.
I don't know what that's about.
I don't know if you like prayed about this beforehand or what.
But like, no, me, me totally.
I've been focused on like social media growth.
You know, more money.
Like, I love money.
I love money.
Somebody's going to clip that, but I do love money, but I got to be careful not to lose sight of the real mission here.
And I try to remind myself of that every day, but more and more I keep finding myself immersed in this, you know, craving more attention because in my head, I'm like, more attention equals, I'm going to fight my cause more.
But like you just said, more numbers does not equal more influence.
And so I think God's speaking directly through you.
elijah schaffer
I do love that.
Dude, it's okay.
We all do love money.
We all do love money.
And I think there's nothing wrong with that.
A lot of people are like, they're always trying to pretend like they don't like money.
I think that it depends on the where the place the love of money has in your heart, right?
Because the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
And I think that that's where it's like, I have friends, man, who will write me.
And this is, by the way, you can apply this to your promotion at work, like I said, or that, you know, that maybe that new thing you want for your family or the new house you want to move into.
Like the metrics, I mean, the item can change depending on what your job is or what your mission is.
But even if you're a housewife, it's that new piece of furniture, you know, the new couch that you want.
You know, it's like you just need that new couch.
And I know girls, I know you and your couches.
By the way, till you have a wife and she shows you the couch she wants and it scares you because like more than like two months salary.
It's just crazy.
Anyway, the reality of the matter is, is that it's like those things will not make you happy.
Okay.
And they won't.
And I think that it's the quality of life is what we miss out on.
And it's the chase, right?
We're always chasing the next thing.
We're always searching to acquire, but we're never satisfied.
And the true joy of God is, and I've said this before, you can strip, you can take away my employment.
You can take away my money.
You can take away, like within the last year, I was down to zero dollars.
I had no money, no employment.
I had nothing.
Okay.
I had zero.
And I had, you know, I had so many people just cheap shot after cheap shot.
I had a lot of, a lot of, a lot of things.
I could have become bitter.
I could have become angry.
I could have repaid evil for evil.
I could have done worse to others.
But I had to ask God, God, how do you want me to handle this?
And the Lord taught me, you know, like I called you into this and you knew that there would be trials.
You knew there would be tribulations.
You understood that there was going to be a testing.
And so go just enjoy the test.
You know what I mean?
Enjoy the test.
I've always been a good test taker.
I've been an extremely patient and calm test taker.
And this is where you realize how important the fruits of the spirit are because the only way I was able to get through this, you know, these trials was by leaning into God.
Now, a lot of people say that blanket statement as a grift, lean into God.
Let me explain what that means.
The fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
And above which there's no law.
There's nothing against these things.
They're universally good things that all men should acquire.
Whether your life is out of control by your own choices, whether it's out of control by choices outside of your hands or, of course, by the elements of the earth itself, like a hurricane.
The best way to respond to these things is by making sure that you are sharp in the fruit of the spirit.
That you are making sure, because it fixes everything.
And the way that you find peace is by controlling what you can control and what you can't control, you give to God.
Because the Bible gives a very important verse that is, like, I guess this is like basic exegesis, but it says it, like, what does worrying do to you, right?
Can you even add a cubit or an inch to your height or a meter, whatever you want to say, or a centimeter to your height by worrying?
There's like two things that the Bible warns about as being extremely destructive.
And it's not, you know, seed oils, surprisingly.
The main things that it's detrimental about is bitterness is the greatest warning because, oh, and I've seen some people do some horrible things and I've experienced some things because of bitter people.
It causes you to act irrationally.
And bitterness destroys you.
There's nothing that can destroy you more than bitterness because it causes you to act out of character and you think and your brain thinks.
So, like, if anyone's struggling with bitterness, you've got to let it go.
And you've really got to make sure that you're not trying to prove yourself to people because you're secretly angry at them.
If there's any hidden motive of bitterness, you've got to let it go because bitterness is the most poisonous.
It literally says the Bible says that it poisons the system of roots of the tree of the tree of yours.
Like you have, you have to produce fruit.
Well, your roots are poisoned first and foremost by bitterness.
But then the other thing that the Bible warns about predominantly is worry, which is there's a lot of this idea of don't be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication and thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
There's this, this, uh, this, I'll take you on the screen.
You're fine if you want to cough or whatever.
We can uh, we can mute you there for a moment.
Um, but uh, but I will say that there is this, uh, dude, you don't have to hold your coughs, by the way, on the on you, you can mute them there.
We are muted, you're good.
Uh, there is this, this, this, uh, immutable characteristic of saying, like, you have to get through hard times by learning to refine your character, refine who you are, and define what you value in life.
And the people of the world don't have that ability because they don't have the spirit of God, and they can't get through these battles with anything other than they, they, they, they fight on Twitter and on life with malice, with envy, with jealousy, with, uh, with spite, with bitterness, like I mentioned earlier, they live their lives anxious, they are nervous, that's why their egos are fragile, that's why they seem to be defeated easily, that's why that they are susceptible to attack.
There's so much about this that is important, which are the antithetical things that go against the spirit of God.
But when you bring in and you bring in, uh, you, you bring in uh the spirit of God and you come in, you actually end up coming out better.
And that's one of the great benefits of being a Christian is you can be thankful for trials.
He says to give thanksgiving, right?
When these things come upon you, when trials and tribulations come, to be thankful, obviously, we're not thankful for the trial, we're not thankful for the experience of it.
But what can we be thankful for?
If A, when we're experienced with hardship, we choose to go deeper into God, He will refine us and we will become better and more resilient people, and we will greater understand His love, His faithfulness, and forgiveness, and then contentment will come.
And as Christians, that's what we strive for is contentment, not striving itself, right?
Because that's the whole world is full of strife and earning, and there's never enough.
But I think it's, and that's where, man, and that's where you have to be really careful because, you know, people are going to mock you for not having the car.
They are going to mock you for not having the followers.
They are going to, you know, talk about how you're not really successful and they are.
But think about this.
Is anybody that's actually successful talking about other people that aren't successful?
No, because success comes from something much, much greater, much deeper, and much more resilient.
And I just hope people know that.
I just hope you can leave people with that in general.
And we have our guest here who's like COVID or something.
And he's like pretending that he's not coughing.
He's got inhaler.
unidentified
I got it.
elijah schaffer
All right.
We're good. We're good.
unidentified
All right.
elijah schaffer
We'll wrap it up.
I'm going to end here on Rumble.
His social media is in the description.
We're going to do one last segment on locals, I mean.
But go ahead and plug yourself.
Even though you are in the description, you should follow him on TikTok, on Instagram, on Twitter.
Preston Para, again, he's in the description.
You got to like this video.
You got to follow us here on Rumble, but go ahead and connect people with where they can find you.
preston parra
The Preston Parl and everything.
Yeah, I banned on TikTok, so don't go there.
But Twitter, Instagram, those are the two big outlets I'm on.
elijah schaffer
Why do we have a TikTok link in our thing for you?
That's weird.
preston parra
I don't know.
I got banned at 15K.
I don't know what that was about.
I was talking about abortion, and I guess that was just too touchy.
But before we move on, I got to say, people tend to kind of fade out listening when you go into spirituality and talking about what you were just talking about.
That was some of the best advice I've heard in so long.
So if you just decided to tune out at that point, I would really, really advise you to go back and listen to that because that was tremendous.
I mean, that is exactly what I needed to hear.
I've got a friend who, God love him.
He's a nice guy.
He's helped me out a lot in politics.
But he is one of the most sanctimonious, self-aggrandizing guys.
And he makes me feel like crap in comparing our social medias.
And, you know, it's kind of taught me, don't act like that guy because I can tell you he's probably not got a lot of happiness in many ways.
But in some ways, you know, I love doing social media.
I love being able to say what I want to say.
But I honestly envy a lot of people who don't have big social media because like Elijah, I mean, he gets way more than I do.
But in terms of hit pieces, you get hit pieces every day calling you sexual harass or calling you racist, calling you any different thing.
And these are, you know, potentially career-threatening things.
And so in many ways, living a life out of this has got to be great.
And everybody's got a purpose.
And so if you're ever getting discouraged about not having a follower account, I can tell you that is the most, it is so unimportant.
And obviously being vocal is great and being able to have that opportunity.
But the follower count is just the most minute, unimportant thing.
The best thing you can do is go out, get on a rooftop with a megaphone and shout the word of God, shout your acclamation for Christ.
That's where you get the real enjoyment out of.
Make sure you're praying every day.
Make sure you're asking God, what the heck do I need to do to live out your will in my life?
That's where you're going to get your enjoyment from.
And that's what I need.
I need to take my own advice because I could tell you, I have tremendous anxiety every single day, even though I may come off as very self-resolute.
I'm struggling tremendously in terms of anxiety because this is just such a crazy world we live in.
And I want to make sure that I'm fighting for God every day with every fiber in me.
But I love what you talked about.
You were tremendously hitting the nail, hitting the hammer on the nail.
elijah schaffer
Dude, I love to hear it.
And we're going to switch over for our last couple videos on locals.
So if you want to just make sure you join the community, I'll say hi to you guys on locals.
Make sure that you head over to elijashafer.locals.com, which is a great way to be able to track with what we're doing.
And I'm going to say hi to you guys.
I think we might actually have a few, though, I want to read these first, a few of these super chats here, which are so good.
Twilight Zora said, my brain hurts.
WikiLeaks email about Podessa's Hawaiian hot dog stand.
Doomsday Cracker sent in.
Alex Lindquist said, Elijah, I haven't been here to watch in a while.
How's the fam?
Hope everything is well with y'all.
The fam is really well.
I just told someone today with the children, you know, we didn't do any of the weird testing during pregnancy.
My wife did all the natural stuff.
We even did what you needed to do to make sure you had a boy for your first baby.
It could have been chance, but we had a boy.
We did like the things you do because the guy sperms swim a little faster.
And if you do the legs up on the headboard and stuff, like a lot of, like, I know my friend, he wanted to have three boys, and he did these things and had three boys in a row.
And so we did that.
No interventions.
We did natural birth, no epidural, water birth.
It was quick.
It was very easy birth, quick recovery, no vaccinations.
You know, she's eating real healthy.
Like, you know, there's no like begging, feeding.
We have them on a schedule.
You know, within like six weeks, he was sleeping through the night.
The people complain about these things.
You know, he could hold his head up within the first couple of weeks.
And now at four months, they're telling us that he has the cognitive function and motor function of like a nine-month-old.
And they're really shocked.
And they don't know what's going on and why he can, like, he can, like, basically communicate now.
And he can take, like, he can take commands and he responds to punishment.
And he knows how to communicate.
Like, he can sit up by himself and he can basically stand on his own pretty much.
And he's like four months old.
It's very weird.
And the doctor's like, what's going on?
And I just happen to think that we were meant to be healthier.
And I don't think the cognitive function of a nine-month-old should be that retarded.
I bet you're just because of all the poison and shit they put in their bodies and the shock to the immune system.
It probably like delays development.
That's what I'm thinking.
I'm genuine.
So if you don't know how we're doing, I think we're finding out that like going completely organic, natural, no chemicals, no vaccines, it really works out well for babies and they love it.
You guys also sent in this meme as well, which was thank you very much for that.
It's absolutely fantastic.
And then sent in this one as well, which is great.
You got to save that.
You got to get, you got to post the, someone's got to post, send that to Preston on Twitter so he can post it because he's now an honorary member of the Green Helmet Gang.
Anyway, I'm going to see you guys over.
Follow Preston.
We have one last video to show you guys at locals.
