elijah schaffer
Well, it turns out that Trump's big, beautiful budget just failed to actually pass the House.
The Gateway Planet reported just today: breaking news: President Trump's big, beautiful bill fails in committee after five House Republicans voted no.
No, Scotty.
How about no?
I haven't watched Austin Powers in a very long time.
michael mendoza
That's a throwback.
elijah schaffer
The largest tax increase in American history looms on our shoulders.
In fact, increasing spending, I think, our debt by $10 trillion in just four years.
And what is our government doing about it?
Well, Christy Noam's planning on buying a $50 million jet.
And after she gets her new $700 extensions re-weaved back in, plans on starting a reality show.
But this time, Mexicans get to fight for citizenship or they get shot.
I'd like to get back to the old days where we didn't have to have a show.
We could get right to the finale and just start with the shooting.
Now, I'm totally joking.
We got a crazy messed up country and a lot of stories to cover here.
Another episode of The Rift Report only on RiftTV.com.
Let's start the show.
unidentified
My name is Elijah Schaefer.

Anyway, joining me today is a contributor for RiftTV.com.
Sarah Stock, welcome back to The Riff Report.
sarah stock
Yeah, I'm happy to be here.
And it looks like we have a few stories about Christy Noam today.
So she's, you know, she's not being very popular right now.
elijah schaffer
They're calling her the Ice Barbie, competing with our Riff Barbie.
So it looks like everybody's got one of these.
They're very popular these days.
Good for the clicks, good for the views.
You've been trending a lot recently.
You just had a big interaction with a homosexual about inconstants and the leaky anus, as we call it.
And that's kind of a weird thing to go viral for, but over 30 million views, right?
So that's pretty good.
sarah stock
Yeah.
I mean, I think now it has like 40 million views on Twitter, which is kind of crazy for just a short clip.
But yeah, I know it's like kind of a weird thing to go viral for.
Part of me is like, should I have said that?
It's kind of disgusting.
I don't know if I should have brought it up, but apparently people were interested to hear about it.
elijah schaffer
So, well, yeah, everybody loves seeing a gay person get BTFO'd.
Speaking of that, joining us in the studio is the producer behind the desk, Michael Mendoza.
Welcome back.
michael mendoza
Hey, what's up?
I'm here.
Oh, I had to clear my throat there.
Sorry about that.
But good to be here.
I don't think that we're on the front page now.
Normally, I say, hey, if you're joining us from the front page, if you see us in editors' pics, whatever, make sure that you smash, like, and subscribe.
But, you know, hopefully we will be there by the end of the show.
Looks like we are not yet, but hopefully, yeah, we will be in the next five, 10 minutes or so.
Anyway, if it's your first time here, make sure to smash, like, and subscribe, leave a comment, and then go to rifftv.com.
You can also watch the stream there.
So I'm happy to be here.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, well, actually, on the front page of Rumble right now is Roseanne Barr and Dave Rubin.
God, God knows, can't compete with that.
You got to just hear two, you know, shape-shifting name changers talking about the media, if you know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, let's jump right into stories for today.
So, what's kind of interesting is, you know, Trump's been talking about, you know, a lot of wins.
He's over in the Middle East, everybody knows.
They lined up 72 virgins to shake their hair, which was kind of like a very interesting scenario.
You know, this sort of comes with the virgins that are promised to the Muslims when they go into the afterlife.
A lot of them have voluntarily gone into the afterlife through self-destructive means, if you know what I'm saying.
However, back at home, things are not looking so good.
And a new breaking story from Colin Leinbarger jumps right into it: that President Trump's big, beautiful bill fails in the committee after five House Republicans voted no.
It's the largest tax increase in American history looming right now.
Check this out.
Well, the Trump agenda suffered a major setback today after a handful of Republicans voted a key bill, delivering it down in committee.
Now, the largest tax increase in American history looms unless the GOP doesn't about face.
As the Gateway Planet reported, the House Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee, led by Chairman Jason Smith, previously released the text of a monumental new tax reform package titled the One Big Beautiful Bill.
Well, the bill, strongly backed by President Donald Trump, is aimed at delivering historic cuts to American families, workers, and small businesses.
The 389-page bill includes a long list of pro-growth America first provisions that echo many of the successful features of the 2017 Trump tax cuts.
This time, with added firepower, this includes no tax on tips and overtime.
But five geo peers in the House Budget Committee shut it down primarily over cost concerns.
One particular gripe was with the Medicaid cuts and the expiration of several wasteful green energy tax credits were pushed back several years while most of the goodies were delivered up front.
Now, Trump's one big beautiful bill cannot move forward to a full vote in the House or Senate, at least not in its current form.
The final vote was 16 to 21 against, and here were the Republicans who voted against the president's agenda: Andrew Clyde, Chip Roy, Josh Brishen, or Brasheen, Ralph Norman, and Lloyd Smucker.
What a schmuck.
The House Budget Committee had voted down the reconciliation bill.
And down here, I wanted to point out that the committee is not expected to come back today, according to Representative Jody Arrington.
So, you know what I love about this?
I want to just jump into this.
I really feel like Congress and media are pretty similar environments because people just don't do anything.
It's like, I'm not even joking.
sarah stock
Nothing ever happens.
elijah schaffer
Well, nothing ever happens, but also, like, you know, they're unable to push a budget through, and then they just take a recess, go off, and are like, yeah, we'll just like reconvene on Monday or Tuesday.
And I feel like they treat government like it's a side, like it's a side gig, Sarah.
It's like it's a, they're part-time workers, and they don't really care.
I mean, you're pretty new to politics.
You're only in your early 20s, so you haven't really been around the voting block for a long time.
But I'm pretty sure it's a little bit disconcerting and not so exciting when you realize these guys don't even care about their own jobs.
sarah stock
Yeah, well, it's like, come on, Republicans, we finally have the House.
We have the presidency.
We have the Supreme Court.
It's like we haven't pushed.
What have we even done so far?
It's like we can't even do anything.
Once we finally have the power, we're not even using it at all.
It's really annoying.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, I don't mean, well, because kind of like the main compromise here that I find to be a little bit interesting is that we have a Republican Senate, a Republican House.
We control like over 2,000 counties under a local jurisdiction of Republican rule.
We have the presidency.
We have the majority.
We have the popular vote.
And Congress has delivered less conservative bills to the president to sign in the first hundred days than any Congress in the last like 70 years.
So when they talk about, oh, we need to get Republicans into office.
We need to get individuals to vote, you know, and get our guys in.
When our guys are in, I mean, what the hell is even happening?
All I saw, we'll talk about later, is Kash Patel, you know, says, oh, the FBI is leaving the J. Edgar Hoover building.
And it's like, but none of this really brings accountability to Dr. Fauci.
This doesn't bring accountability for Pfizer and the vaccine rollout.
This doesn't bring accountability for the stolen election in 2020.
All that we see is like these minor, you know, oh, we got a trade deal in Saudi Arabia, or we're getting a trillion dollar investment from Qatar over 10 years.
Great.
sarah stock
Yeah, I mean, it's all stuff that nobody asks for.
And especially they're overemphasizing all this Doge stuff.
And they're like, oh, we're cutting spending here, cutting spending there.
In reality, they're not really cutting that much.
And then you just see they turn around, they buy a new $50 million jet.
So it's like, what are we really doing here?
elijah schaffer
Yeah, but okay, but maybe they're in the right, Mike, because basically what the Republicans are saying is that there's too much wasteful spending in the bill.
And that's why I kind of want to, you know, bring this up.
There's actually $10 trillion this adds to the national debt in just four years.
The spending bill adds $10 trillion.
Republicans used to watch the clock and care about, you know, not increasing the spending in the country.
They've thought about the fact that maybe as we increase spending, right, this increases inflation, the Federal Reserve then prints more money.
Because I don't know if people know this.
We actually don't bring in enough taxes in our country to pay for our spending, which is why we just print money.
It's like we don't, the $100 billion sent to, or I think it's $200 billion, $160 billion sent to Ukraine is not your tax dollars.
It's just money the Federal Reserve prints.
And they don't even actually print it.
It's just called fractional lending.
So they're just literally transferring dollars over through banks on a screen to purchase equipment from American military industrial complex corporations.
And that money really doesn't exist.
That's why when you ever have these great resets like in COVID, or you have the reset in 2008 and you have like four, eight, $12 trillion, sometimes people suggest just deleted from the global market.
That's because the money didn't exist.
It never existed.
And we're living in this financial capitalist system, which of course comes from the Rothschilds, from the banking sector, and really, in fact, has removed us off the gold standard and we're sort of stuck.
So I don't know if these guys are good or bad.
All I know is it seems like Congress can't get shit done.
That's my, and that's what it, that's what it seems like over here.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I feel like with the whole budget thing, I feel like it's always just an excuse to not actually deliver for their constituents.
Because I mean, I don't think that we've actually had like a real solid like budget hawk for 20 or 30 years.
I mean, because obviously we've been getting into all these awards and everything that costs trillions and or like billions and trillions of dollars.
So I think that once they do bring up budget or like budgetary concerns, it's really just to kind of divert away from actually delivering.
Because, you know, as we know, people wanted mass deportations.
And did we get that?
No.
Are we going to get that closer to the midterms?
Probably not because then they're going to try and work towards the base and then try and make sure that they're getting the centrists on board and everything.
And I think that could turn people off.
So I don't think the budget is as much of a concern as they make it out to be.
I think it's just an excuse, but I could be wrong.
unidentified
I don't know.
michael mendoza
Who knows?
elijah schaffer
They're also telling you to trip up the house volume a little bit that everyone sounds low.
unidentified
I don't know.
elijah schaffer
That's what they're saying.
Probably should be on the main right there on the thing, probably on the main volume.
But if it starts peaking, guys, let us know.
But I thought everything was low too.
We have garden gnomes that get into our sound system here and just start flipping things off and changing things.
michael mendoza
And her name is Sarah Stock.
elijah schaffer
And the name is Sarah Stark.
Okay, so you brought up something interesting, Sarah, that I want to talk about.
But before we jump into that, I want to remind you guys, make sure that you check out 1775 Coffee.
We've been partnering with them fantastically for quite some time now.

But this stuff is so damn delicious.
If you're looking for something better than your burned coffee from Starbucks, maybe you're still buying that disgusting Folger stuff.
You need to find an affordable coffee that doesn't cheapen itself on flavor, but also is ethically sourced, which, you know, as Christians, as Americans, we do have to care about those things.
It's not just lefties.
You want to make sure people are not being abused.
You know, that's only when you order off of Uber Eats.
So you allow to abuse minorities.
But for the most part, you know, not in your products.
I'm joking, but I mean this genuinely.
But for only $99, you get this new bundle with multiple bags of coffee, the anti-aging rejuvenate coffee.
Plus, you get the refillable K-cup, which is really important for your coffee machine, and the Maha Tumblr.

So we were talking a little bit about the fact that, okay, so they didn't get the bill passed through.
I think my conclusatory statement here is, I mean, yeah, I don't know.
I think it's probably a crappy bill, but at the same time, I don't think anyone in the government universally cares about cutting spending.
I think the ultimate goal of our country, keep the war funded in Ukraine, continue to send money to Israel and pay off the Middle Eastern countries to not attack Israel.
And at the same time, lose as much money as possible in trade deficits.
Now, Trump's trying to correct that, but in a budgetary standard, this stuff's kind of boring.
But I think the whole goal is to keep our financial system afloat and the dollar is the dominant procurement of trade in the world.
And they don't care if it hurts us in the short term.
The key thing is it's just long-term keeping the dollar afloat.
michael mendoza
Yeah, it's a house of cards and they're just trying desperately everything they can to keep it afloat right now because they know.
And by the way, even recently, I'm not sure if people saw this, but I saw that the United Healthcare stock went down by like half or something.
So if insurance is going down, then that probably doesn't bode well.
And then, you know, I mean, I still think that we're due for a pretty substantial real estate crash, especially here in Florida.
There is just oversupply or just the overload of supply of people who rushed through during COVID.
So, you know, and then obviously with the money supply increasing, like how you mentioned earlier during COVID, I think we're in for some pretty rough times.
I know people keep saying golden age, this golden age that um yeah, I don't think that that's gonna happen, quite frankly, and you know, I mean I want the best for Trump, but like I think that just all of these bad factors like are kind of colliding at once and I don't think that even Trump can stop it.
I think that no man can stop it, really.
elijah schaffer
No, I know, now I'm trying to check out this.
Give me one moment here, because this article is making uh me allow ads, so give me one moment while I uh turn this.
Let me see pause on this site.
Um Great okay, so check this out.
Man, dude, can we not use Daily MAIL for a source ever?
Because this is the worst site.
We've talked about this multiple times.
I can't even use it.
Let me see.
I'm just trying, I'm trying to get into it.
Okay, whatever.
Man, all right, check this out.
So Ice Barbie, Christy Noam, is backing insane reality TV show where immigrants compete for fast-track citizenship.
Check this out.
So she's been called Ice Barbie for treating her cabinet position like a TV production.
But now Homeland Security Chris Secretary Christy Noam is pushing for an actual reality show pitting immigrants against each other for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship.
It may sound like a joke, but the idea is for real and is outlined in a 35-page program pitch put together in coordination with the DHS secretary.
DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Noam is even offering up officials from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to tally votes for the Made for TV contest.
The pitch comes as Rob Wassoff, a writer and producer known for Duck Dynasty, the AND reality show about a Louisiana family and its hunting empire and Bravo's millionaire matchmaker.
The proposed series is called the American, named after the train that contestants worldwide would ride around the country competing in regionally specific cultural contests such as ruling logs in Wisconsin.
It would lead to a grand finale with the winner granted getting sworn in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
Along the way, we will be reminded what it means to be an American through the eyes of the people who want it the most.
Warsoff, who himself was born in Canada, said, I'm not affiliated with any political ideology as an immigrant myself.
I am merely trying to make a show that celebrates the immigration process, celebrate what it means to be an American, and have national conversation about what it means to be an American through the eyes of the people who want it most.
Yeah, I guess there's not much on here.
The top spokesperson for the DHS acknowledged the agency staff are reviewing this pitch and had a call with producer last week.
She insisted Noam is yet to be briefed on the initiative.
However, Daily Mail has confirmed that Noam supports the project and wants to proceed.
And McLaughlin said, I think it's a good idea.
Warsoft's project comes as Noam is waiting to showcase what it means to become an American amid the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration.
She and her agency had been working for weeks to get such a project greenlit from Netflix or another streaming or cable service, according to the Daily Mail.
But while past outreach has fallen flat, they're hoping this one has a real chance.
In this pitch, Warsoft 49 expresses confidence that the Americans would be a commercial hit and lends itself to enormous corporate sponsorship opportunities.
At the same time, there's a concern among some in the DHS about the possible optics of turning the plight of immigrants into a reality game show, sources say.
I don't know if there's more on it, actually.
This site is terrible.
Noam is already suffering from the perception that she cares more about image than fulfilling her responsibility to protect the homeland and crackdown on illegal immigration.
When will Secretary Noam stop prioritizing stage photo ops and media stunts?
One Source Act.
The focus on self-promotion is undermining our ability to deliver a President Trump's deportation mandate.
We need leadership committed to logistics and results, not financial gain or reality show theatrics.
As described in Warsoft's pitch, contestants from various countries and backgrounds would be pre-vetted and arrive at Ellis Island in New York City aboard the citizenship, a boat symbolizing a new beginning.
They'd be greeted by the host, a famous naturalized American who was also born in another country.
Warsoff's pitch names Colombian-born Sophia Vergera, Vergera, Canadian Ryan Reynolds, and Mila Kunis, who hails from Ukraine as possible hosts, who'd greet each other, greet each contestant with a welcome gift, a personalized baseball glove.
Contestants would then travel state to state, meeting interesting Americans and learning about the history, culture, and quirks of each region.
Viewers in turn will learn about each wannabe American and why they then want to live there.
Yeah, we'll join in laughter, tears, frustration, joy, hearing their backstories as we are reminded how amazing it is to be an American through the eyes of 12 wonderful people.
Sarah, this sounds absolutely insane to me.
Give me your understanding of what's going on here and why she wants to do this.
sarah stock
This was the first thing that I saw on Twitter when I woke up this morning.
And I thought it was a joke at first.
I was like, there's absolutely no way.
This is like something out of South Park.
It's so unserious.
And I mean, it's like our government is like running these like hunger game style championships for illegal immigrants.
No, who asked for this?
Nobody asked for this.
I think that's kind of humiliating, honestly, for the immigrants to like, what?
We're going to like put people through this weird like squid games thing.
It's like, let's just, can we not just deport them?
Like, what are we doing?
michael mendoza
Yeah.
Well, also, too, I think that you would agree with me in that we all know that the tried and true method, the only way that we can actually morally exploit minorities is by ordering Uber Eats or ordering DoorDash when it's a torrential downpour outside or ordering an Uber or even if you're just getting into an elevator or something and then they're there to open the elevator.
But it does seem a little bit like they're kind of or like it's like exploitative, which I don't love about it.
It is kind of funny, actually, but it's like, why is the Department of Homeland Security focusing on this?
Like, you know, I know that our president was also a reality TV show star.
So I mean, maybe we shouldn't expect very much more than that, but it kind of does seem to be a little much when it's like creeping into the actual government now.
And then we're actually focusing on that.
And then not just that, but she wants to get money to get jets so she can facilitate doing this show.
It seems a little ridiculous.
So I don't know what you think.
sarah stock
I mean, this lady seems completely insane.
Like, this is just the most, I mean, yeah, it's like one thing if someone came up with the idea of this show and it's like a fictional thing or something, but our government creating a reality TV show about illegal immigration.
Like, that's just, that just blows my mind.
So like this administration is just a joke at this point.
michael mendoza
It does.
And it does very, like, it does feel very Hunger Games-ish.
I like didn't think of that.
If people start wearing like weird, like, like, like blue beehive headdresses or like wigs or whatever, then you know that we're in trouble.
But until then, what's the main character from Hunger Games?
sarah stock
I mean, Christy Noah, I'm like, she has to already be wearing a wig.
michael mendoza
Yeah, exactly.
Well, yeah.
That's the other thing, too.
It's like, you know, I mean, I support women who like want to do whatever with their bodies, except for abortion.
But, you know, I support if you want to get like certain procedures done to like make yourself pretty, whatever, because I mean, now we have the ability to do that.
So, I mean, I say go, like, I say go on ahead and knock yourself out.
But it does seem pretty drastic.
If you look at Christy Noam for me, even like a couple of years ago, she was like Karen mode.
She had the freaking swoosh haircut and everything.
And now it's like she's all bimboed out.
It's just a very, very odd transformation that I don't think anyone asked for.
But, and then it's even weirder that she's, she's in the public eye.
And then now all of a sudden she's just very bimboed out.
Like, I don't think it's a good look necessarily.
sarah stock
Very weird.
Comes across, I think, just very attention-seeking.
Like all of these BDS stunts and everything.
Like she really is trying to be like the ice Barbie.
michael mendoza
Also, too, before this, we had Tom Homan, who was also doing reality show stuff where he was going around with Dr. Phil.
And then when they called off some of the raids, they said they said it was because illegal migrants were getting word of the raids going on.
And it's like, well, I couldn't imagine how these illegal migrants would have figured out that you were doing these raids because you were publicizing it with Dr. Phil, who is like only, who is only broadcast to like every single household of every state home.
I remember I was homeschooled for one semester of middle school.
Every day for me was Judge Mathis, Dr. Phil, Judge Judy, Maury.
It's all those shows.
So it's like people watch the shows, Oprah, you know, and like, I may be dating myself with that a little bit, but it's just like, yeah, so it's, you know, they, they love to, to, to, to telegraph this stuff.
They love to make this big show of it.
But then when they don't actually follow through on it, then they try and blame the budget, which is, which is what I was saying earlier.
It's like, okay, so, so, so the budget is the, is the issue now?
Because that wasn't what you guys were saying once you guys were campaigning, but obviously you were just trying to get our vote then.
sarah stock
You know, yeah, well, it's just like, it's just this attention economy that we're living in right now, where it's like everything just has to be entertainment, even deporting people.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
sarah stock
It's just weird.
Like politics should not have this much intersection with entertainment.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
I also saw that Tom Holman was talking about how the violent illegal immigrants were also causing problems for the, I guess, lawful illegal immigrant communities.
So it's like now we're looking out for the illegal immigrants.
I don't know what's going on anymore, but it does seem very strange to me.
So.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, it does.
But you know what, real fast on the terms of this, and you guys mentioned about the jet, but I wanted to bring up this story because I think it's really interesting.
You know, in the middle of like basically not doing anything to really get rid of the legal immigration problem, right?
They're planning on inviting another million legal immigrants.
And it turns out, man, these websites are, they must be desperate for cash, man.
Like, look at these.
Look at this.
It's like just like jumping around like 50 pop-ups.
The Hill says Noam eyes $50 million for new DHS jet by Rebecca Bittek.
President, look at this.
Like, look at the fucking this website.
Like, God damn it, dude.
Like, what the fuck?
President Trump isn't the only administration official eyeing a new jet.
Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam is also set to get one under a last-minute addition to the Coast Guard budget.
Representative Lauren Underwood, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, blasted the agency for the $50 million line item that had never been requested or even mentioned before.
I was horrified last Friday when we received a last-minute addition to your spend plan for the fiscal 25 year, a new $50 million Gulfstream 5 for Secretary Noam's personal travel coming from the Coast Guard budget.
She already has a Gulfstream 5, by the way.
This is a new one, Underwood said during a Wednesday hearing.
Department of Homeland Security has defended the request.
The current CG101 G550 is over 20 years old outside of Gulfstream service life and well beyond operational usage hours for corporate aircraft.
Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, said in a statement, this is a matter of safety, much like the Coast Guard ships that are well beyond their service life and safe operational usage.
Coast Guard's aircrafts are too, she added.
This administration is taking action to restore our nation's finest maritime armed service to a capable fighting force.
Coast Guard Admiral Kevin Lundy did not respond to a direct question from Underwood about whether he had been asked about higher-ups at the DHS to add a request for the plane, but he did not have a need for it.
It's old and it's approaching the obsolescence and the end of its service life.
The avionics are increasingly obsolete.
The communications are increasingly unreliable and it's in need of recapitalization like much of the rest of the fleet.
But this aircraft is necessary to provide the secretary, the deputy secretary, me as the acting commandant commandment and the acting vice and our two area commanders with secure, reliable, and on-demand communications and movement.
Funding for a plane for Noam comes after Trump said that he plans to accept a $400 million jet paid for by Air Force One, after which he plans to retain use of the jet by transferring it to his presidential library.
It's kind of interesting.
I mean, the way that I look at this is like, I do understand that, you know, these numbers are kind of hard to understand for the average person.
You know, $50 million, it sounds like a ripoff.
michael mendoza
Well, hold on.
Maybe for you, I have a friend who's doing deals with the Saudis right now, hundreds of millions of dollars.
But, you know, I mean, that's just you.
That's just me.
elijah schaffer
Some people say billions, but I will say perhaps.
But also, you know, a lot of this money is not very big in terms of retrospect of the budgets that these departments have.
And I do think it is kind of funny, though, that it's like our government is so, you know, bloated that they need, like, why do you need a $50 million jet?
Why can't you get something?
Why can't you just get like a $20 million jet?
michael mendoza
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
Well, you know, I mean, or $15 million.
Why do you need a $50 million brand new Gulfstream 5?
It's like, well, because we'll use it.
And it's like, do you really need that?
Why can't they fly commercial?
Why can't Christy Noam?
michael mendoza
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
Like, well, it's not secure.
Really?
michael mendoza
Well, is it?
Yeah.
So by the way, and then I think you were mentioning this.
I forgot on which show the other day.
Maybe it was on Rift Report.
Maybe it was on Nightly Offensive or other show that you can check out at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
But you mentioned how some business partners of ours, some people who we work with who are well off, who have very successful businesses, they were considering getting a jet.
The reason why you get a jet is because it makes sense money-wise for you.
Because you absolutely can't miss going to London to close a deal or you can't miss going to Dubai or whatever.
And then just having to go through customs, all this stuff, go to the airport, board there.
And obviously it is a luxury, but there is some sense of like, okay, like, you know, you are getting like your bang for your buck on this.
But yeah, like, it doesn't seem like they're not able to fly commercial.
It does seem like they're kind of just trying to play it up a little bit.
And I mean, honestly, too, by the way, I feel like most government officials, and Sarah, maybe you'll agree with me on this, but it does feel like they know that the scam is running up and they know that all the coffers are drying up very quickly.
We're just giving all the money we can possibly to Ukraine and Israel.
And it's just like all the government officials are just like, well, I'm going to take as much money as I can because this empire is in decline and we're on the way out anyway.
So I might as well make a bag on the way out.
But I don't know what you think about that, Sarah.
sarah stock
Honestly, I don't really have that big of a problem with someone like Christy Noam, someone who actually has, I mean, I don't know if she actually does anything when it comes to her job besides just photo ops, but not necessarily her, but in general, like important government officials flying private because, yeah, I mean, I don't think it's like safe for them or convenient or quick enough.
It's kind of a waste of time to what, like wait, wait at TSA.
That doesn't really make any sense.
But at the same time, it's like, you know, yeah, like you said, like, does it need to be a $50 million jet when you already have one?
I mean, they're just going to try to downplay this and say, well, we have like a big budget, blah, blah, blah.
It's not actually that much money.
But they're making a big deal out of cutting $50 million in spending when it's like treating kids with malaria in Africa or something like that.
And they're like, oh, why were we wasting $50 million on this?
Guess what?
We don't have to do that anymore.
It's like, well, they're just putting it towards the jet.
michael mendoza
Yeah, exactly.
And I mean, I would say that I think there probably is somewhat of a valid concern once it comes to security.
But I mean, you know, even once you, if you sit in first class, you're pretty separated from the rabble anyway.
Like, like, like, yeah, like, do you really need your own pilot, like your own aircraft and everything?
It does, it does seem to be a little bit exaggerated.
And like, they're just trying, like, I mean, personally, I think, I don't know what the chat thinks, but I mean, personally, I think that they know that this is an empire in decline and that there's not much time left for the military industrial complex for the taxpayer, like until the people rise up or like until something happens, until, you know, there's some big, like maybe the dollar gets devalued or like it depegs from the oil reserve or something.
Like maybe something like that happens sometime soon, and then they know it's going to happen, which is why they're trying to just run everything dry.
But I don't know.
I mean, maybe it sounds a little bit more conspiratorial.
I wonder what Alex Jones thinks about that.
Maybe he'd be the good one to tap on the shoulder about that one.
But yeah, this is kind of just all ridiculous with what they're doing with the jets and everything now.
elijah schaffer
So, well, yeah, and you know, okay, but I mean, I don't know what I think about this.
I mean, why not spend $100 billion on jets?
You know, like the money isn't real, anyways.
We're sort of in this day and age where the government doesn't even make enough money that it spends.
So, then it actually spends.
So, what's the point of actually saving any cash?
Someone said, I, oh, you guys are in the comments are so gross.
Anyways, I was about to, I thought you guys thought there was a constructive comment.
And of course, it was just a disgusting human being.
Anyway, all I was going to say is, I feel a little dirty with the government being in our rooms.
How about that one back at you in the comment section?
Because I feel like they nitpick us for like $5 here or there.
And then the reason why I don't like this jet idea really is because they said like the Coast Guard's ships are out of commission and that they're like past their service date, but the priority is getting the director a jet.
Like that should be the opposite of where Budget should be going.
It's like, hey, you know, all the equipment our guys are using basically are out of standard, but yet we should put $50 million into Christy Noam's jet.
I don't really, I don't really like that idea.
Now, bringing this out, I wanted to play something for you guys here in just a moment.
Let me look this up.
Shifting to a little bit less of a newsy type thing.
Something kind of interesting happened that I thought people might want to hear.
So one of our senators, Mark Mullen, was talking about this jet that Trump got.
It's a little bit of a low-quality video.
You can mute me here in a second, put this on the screen.
But check this out, and you tell me what you think.
unidentified
We actually did Trump doubling down on accepting the $400 million jet from Qatar.
We have zero issue with it.
You have zero issue with it?
Do you think it raises ethics concerns and national security concerns?
Have you ever been to New York and saw the Statue of Liberty?
That was a gift, too.
Do you have any safety concerns about?
I mean, this coming from the foreign government and safety and our security and our intel?
Do you know anything about it?
So do you think we're really going to take a plane and not strip it and put all the Air Force One stuff in it, even if it came brand new from the factory?
If you don't understand that basic knowledge, then you probably shouldn't be reporting on it.
elijah schaffer
Sorry, our audio is really messed up today because of the Garden Gnomes.
But I don't know if you guys heard that.
sarah stock
Yeah, he kind of ate with that.
He kind of ate.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, like he said, he literally said, you don't know what we're doing.
Like, we're going to strip the plane down.
sarah stock
He's like, we're not retarded.
Like, we know what we're doing.
We're not just going to take a plane.
elijah schaffer
So, someone said, is this probably live?
This is 100% live.
Cheetah, man.
That's, yes, this is 100% live.
But I was going to say, on the side note, yeah, it's pretty much interesting that people are mad about receiving this plane, but he mentioned the Statue of Liberty.
And also, what about the hundreds of millions of dollars that we received from Israeli interests, right?
What about that?
What about the $100 million gift that Trump received from the Adelsons connected to the Israeli government?
How about the fact that we literally had many, many gifts given to us from different countries?
In fact, more people should be giving us gifts.
That's my opinion.
It's like, why aren't we buying a $50 million jet?
Have Saudi Arabia buy it for us.
I'm not even joking.
unidentified
Yeah.
michael mendoza
Go ahead, Sarah.
unidentified
Go ahead.
sarah stock
Oh, yeah.
I was just going to say, yeah, I mean, why are we complaining about people giving us stuff for once?
We give money to everyone all the time.
It's like, pretty sure that's a good thing.
And also, part of this, I do feel like part of the reason why Trump accepted this gift.
And I think it might be a little bit of a slight to Netanyahu.
I don't know what you guys think.
michael mendoza
Yeah, potentially.
Well, I mean, what I was going to say, too, is that in terms of giving money and receiving money, I mean, like, you know, our politicians getting lobbied actually has, so our politicians getting lobbied actually has real world consequences.
So recently, you know, they're trying to strike a deal over in Iran, and pretty much Israel is just doing everything they can to make sure that that doesn't happen.
I don't want to go to World War III.
I don't think anyone here wants to go to World War III, but because there is such a malicious influence inside of our country, and that goes for all lobbying, by the way, even once it comes to insurance or big business or the pharmaceutical companies.
Like it just, it's a major problem.
But I mean, unfortunately, DC is just run so much on lobbying that like it's almost impossible to rip that parasite off of the host at this point.
It's just it's it's so deeply set in there that I don't know if we can do anything about it at this point.
It's so bad.
elijah schaffer
Yeah.
And I was saying people are talking all about the audio being balanced.
The thing is, the show did used to have audio set up and somebody deleted all the audio files or something and reinstalled stuff.
And for some reason, I've never had this issue in my entire life.
Everything is completely changed in the audio when we got in.
And it's almost unbelievable.
It's almost unbelievable, but it is believable because this happens all the time.
So I have no, I literally got in there and we have no idea what the, who the hell went in there and just like everything is messed up.
Everything is just messed up.
michael mendoza
I'm not going to say anything, but their initials may have been SS.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, they could have been Sarah stock.
michael mendoza
Yeah, but I don't know.
sarah stock
That was not me.
I don't even know.
michael mendoza
Because she was like, I don't want to get caught, but she didn't think that we would catch on, but obviously.
elijah schaffer
Like, we've never had this issue where like someone's loud and the audio's quiet.
And like, it's like, sometimes I just don't even know why we try anymore.
That being said, don't forget to check out TWC.health slash Rift to get your emergency medical kits that come with everything that you need, including ivermectin, fluconazole, ZPAC, azithromycin.
This guy's, guys, this is all the medication that you need, including, you know, antibiotics, antiparasitics.
You know, people say actually recently I saw that actually fighting long COVID is actually people using nicotine to fight that.
Have you seen that?
Oh, yeah, that ivermectin and nicotine attach the same receptor and that it's like reducing symptoms of long COVID.
By the way, I'm not making a medical claim.
I'm not saying it does.
I'm saying people are saying it does.
You know, contract whatever information you want from me, but mostly contact your doctor directly if you want to get medical advice.
But I don't know if you saw that.
michael mendoza
Yeah, no, actually, that was a really common thing in like the early, early days of COVID.
Actually, there was a documentary made called Watch the Water that had Dr. Brian Artis in it where he talked about that.
And I was never into nicotine at the time.
I honestly tried to get into cigarettes and I couldn't even get into cigarettes.
I do zenhow just sometimes while they're in that.
I'm not big on nicotine that much personally, but yeah.
So.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, no, okay.
So on the side note of that, make sure you pick up one of these kits.
I have one here.
You can grab them.
They're cheaper than going to the emergency room, cheaper than going to the doctor's office.
Grab one of these kits 10% off at TWC.hell slash rift.
This can help you fight anything from COVID to the common flu, all the way down to STDs.
And we know everyone on this panel, particularly someone named MM, would need to be worried about that.
So we're not going to say names, but MM is his initials and it fights STDs like gonorrhea and stuff.
But that being said, for the most rest of you guys, make sure you pick those kits up.
They're amazing medical kits.
They're extremely helpful.
Dr. Peter McCullough came together to help ensure that we would have the medication that we needed at the right time, always in our homes.
Now, flipping the script here, I want to talk about this.
RiftTV.com reports she was our everything family outrage as the illegal teen gets probation for fatal crash.
Caitlin Weaver, a 24-year-old who was dedicated to helping others at a local drug rehabilitation center, was killed in a horrible car crash in July 2024.
A 15-year-old illegal alien from Columbia, driving an uninsured Jeep at 90 miles per hour through an Aurora residential neighborhood, T-boned her vehicle during a street race with other teens.
The teen whose name is withheld under Colorado law protecting juvenile suspects faced vehicular homicide charges but received a plea deal from the Arapahoe County District Attorney Office.
Two years of probation and 100 hours of community service for Weaver's grieving family, the outcome is gut-wrenching miscarriage of justice.
They promised us that they'd fight, that there'd be no plea deal, said John Weaver, Caitlin's father, his voice thick with anguish.
Now my daughter's dead and this kid gets to walk free.
How do you call that fair?
The crash unfolded on a quiet summer evening last year when the unlicensed teen who took his mother's jeep without permission sped through a 35 mile per hour zone.
Police said the impact obliterated Weaver's car, ending on the life of a woman known for her compassion and volunteer work.
According to court documents, the teen expressed remorse.
A factor prosecutor cited in their decision.
But for those who knew Caitlin, the punishment feels like a betrayal.
Caitlin was a lied in this world, said Sarah Collins, a co-worker at the rehab center where Weaver worked.
She'd stay late to talk to someone through their pain, volunteer on weekends, always giving to see your life reduced.
It's like she didn't matter.
You know, Sarah, I want to go to you on this.
It's like another white woman killed by an illegal alien.
Why are we giving illegal aliens rights?
Like, oh, we're protecting a juvenile.
You're here illegally.
We'll just like, at the very least, we should deport you to Seacot, even if you're a teenager.
We're not going to treat you with respect when you're not here respectfully.
We're not going to kill you.
We're not going to be like the Israelis do with the Gazans.
We're not going to just like, you know, we understand that, you know, you're 15, though.
You're not a child anymore.
You're a teenager.
You know what you're doing and you killed someone.
So, you know, at the very least, we're going to put you in jail or deport you and give you over to the authorities.
The fact that we like spend money to put them on trial here, keep them in our nation, and like treat them like with respect when they didn't have the respect to come into our country, let alone to not break the law.
How many more white people have to be murdered and killed?
How many more white women have to be raped and murdered by illegals before people realize that, you know, maybe treating these people with respect is not what they deserve?
sarah stock
I mean, it just doesn't make any sense that you could come here illegally, kill one of our people, and then get away with what, 100 hours of volunteer community service doesn't make any sense at all.
I mean, I'm assuming this guy's family is probably here illegally too.
They should probably just all be deported.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, yeah, probably.
Well, yeah, and I don't think they're doing it quick enough.
I mean, it seems like it seems like they'll get in trouble and then they'll kind of just wait around for them to offend again.
And then whether that's a sexual assault or a violent assault, I mean, and yeah, I think you're right, is that we need to stop waiting around for it because I mean, the fact of the matter is, is that if someone comes in and they're undocumented and I would mean undocumented in the liberal way of not saying illegal alien, but I do mean that they just have no documentation for them being in the country.
So in some ways, they kind of are like a ghost.
So, I mean, you know, I think most people, if left to their own devices, if they thought that there was no accountability, if you like, you know, it's like the question, like, if you had an invisibility cloak, what would you do?
Some people would do some pretty bad things.
And then that's including stealing, robbing, and then maybe even worse things than that.
So, you know, I think that we're kind of just sitting on a taking time bomb with these people being here and then just expecting them to, because I mean, you know, I follow the law because I have plates on my car.
I have my ID.
I have my fingerprints somewhere by the state or by the DMV or something.
So I know that if I did something wrong, there'd be an easy way to track me.
Whereas with these people, there's no documentation of them.
So obviously they're more prone to crime.
And then it doesn't help that where they come from, there's a big gang problem.
There's a big cartel problem.
So, you know, again, like it's just sitting on this taking time bomb where I don't know, for some reason, we just think that's going to get better if we're just nice to them and we give them more handouts.
But it doesn't seem to be working that way.
So I don't know.
Maybe that's just me.
sarah stock
Yeah, no, them being untrackable totally enables them to do crime.
And then the fact that we're not just immediately deporting or immediately jailing people who are undocumented who commit crime, that enables it even further because it's like, okay, so now you can just do whatever you want and you won't face any real consequences.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
Right.
elijah schaffer
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I'm just thinking about the amount of like young white girls who just white people who are like, we just want to live in peace, you know, in our own countries.
And it's like you think about a lot of European countries, particularly with the Islamic terrorism that is, you know, a result of Israel's wars in the Middle East, right?
These people are mad at us for backing them for the West backing Israel.
And you see a lot of this, you know, destabilization from Netanyahu in the region, particularly when it comes to Libya, when it comes to Syria.
And you see that these people flooding our countries, the people that hate us.
And, you know, Matt Walsh brought up a point today that, you know, at a certain point, they're trying to make you think that white people don't have homelands.
You know, we don't even have a place.
Like, these are not our, these are not our nations.
And this idea of flooding your country with people who are not white is only as early as 1965, but it never really, it's really only lasts like 20 years, you know?
Like when I grew up in America, it was still a white nation, very much so.
Yeah.
And now it's really not, you know, especially in cities.
It's like you're in a third world basically everywhere.
And no one can tell me that the world's gotten better, that America's gotten cleaner, that America's gotten safer, that it's gotten higher trust, that prices are better.
Like, quite frankly, when we've allowed these people in, you know, we also see the vitriol, particularly towards the Afrikaners, you know, the amount of the amount of the amount of people that want what we have come where we are.
And then when you say, hey, you know, we don't really necessarily want you here, their excuse is always this, well, you blew up our countries.
It's like, really?
What was going on in Africa before colonizers got there?
A lot?
Was there some great civilization that you guys were trying to keep up that we destroyed?
Was there some sort of massive operation of resources that you guys had under control that we were unable to, that we that we exploited?
Or did you guys live in mud huts and we gave you education and civilization and clean water and medicine and flight?
Like maybe we've given you everything.
Where were your airports without white men?
Where are the railroads?
Where are the railroads that we built in your countries?
Are they still working today?
Do you still use them?
I don't think so.
How many people die on the railroads in India?
That doesn't seem right.
26,000 people a year.
Seems like you guys don't even understand safety or how to maintain them.
You know, it's like there's a lot of ungratefulness in the world for bringing people civilization.
I think we messed up in bringing people civilization.
I don't think they deserved it.
And they don't deserve our countries.
They definitely don't deserve our technology.
And the fact is that they're ungrateful for it now and bitter.
I think there's a lot of resentment coming from, you know, especially younger white generations towards these minority communities who, you know, ask us to bring in millions of people from the third world.
And then we bring in 49 Afrikaners, 58 Afrikaners, call us racist for bringing in people who are our similar culture.
And they're like, they tell Trump's racist.
What do you mean, your similar culture?
Yeah, ours.
The one that you came to live in.
Not your culture.
It's our culture.
And so, yeah, we do have a culture and they're so brainwashed that they don't even have any respect for us.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
Well, also, too, and then you mentioned the 26,000 trains as.
I don't think it helps that there's like TikTok trends in India where they have to get as close as possible to the train while they're like doing selfie video of themselves.
But yeah, I mean, like you're completely right.
And, you know, as the resident minority in the office, well, I guess I'm not the only one actually, but being half Mexican, half white, I always just felt like it's like the concept of like visiting someone's house.
And I think actually our guest on a nightly offensive kind of even mentioned the same thing.
Like, you know, once you go to someone's house, you usually respect the rules of their house.
So, and then you respect that and then you're gracious for what they're giving you.
Like if they give you food and drink or if they're making accommodations for you to even come over, watch the game, watch a movie, whatever, you should be thankful.
But instead, for some reason, these people just have a bone to pick with white people.
And I think it's a lot of indoctrination.
I mean, even growing up, and then, you know, Elijah and I are similar ages, but growing up, there was a little bit of like, like, you know, it was, it was equal opportunity racism.
Everyone could be like racist towards each other and it was funny and it was like meant to be a joke.
And because of that, people were more were more open and then more accepting of one another.
But then it started to turn into hate towards white people and then started to turn to indoctrination of being like, okay, well, everything that white people have was actually stolen from other minorities or groups of people or whatever.
So I think that we've seen a slow decline from how it was in the past, how we grew up when everyone kind of just got along.
And then now it's like they've really been pushing this DEI stuff, which has just really been setting off white people, which I think rightfully so.
Like, you know, it's, it's, um, it's really, it's really demoralizing to grow up in a country where your ancestors founded.
And then now you have to kowtow to these other people who really haven't done much.
But because people are telling you that you have to be guilty, then now you have to be.
And, you know, it's just not a good situation.
I can see why people feel so demoralized.
I know it's like that in Illinois, which is where I'm from.
I don't know how it's like in Canada even, but I don't know how it was where you grew up, Sarah.
But I would imagine that it's probably even worse there because now it's just completely overrun by Indians.
So it's probably even worse there now.
sarah stock
Yeah, no, I mean, when I grew up, it was like, there's a few minorities, but, you know, it's like it's like three black kids at your high school.
They're very culturally assimilated.
Everyone gets along very well.
Like there's no like racial tension or anything like that.
Everyone just got along very well.
Now it's definitely, it's just crazy.
I just feel like even in the past five years, it's the demographics have changed and you can tell like people are kind of starting to get upset about it.
And it's weird, like in Canada, they don't really have any sort of like huge political movements opposing it, but just everyone kind of talks about it with their friends or behind closed doors.
I mean, even my friends who are liberal, you know, they've always been liberals.
They've always been like, you know, calling the type of people who in high school would like call everything racist or whatever.
But now even they're complaining about immigration in Canada.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
And that's when you know that you've, that you've really lost the people.
And I mean, you know, even me being from Chicago, I mean, I know people who aren't even fully white themselves who live in Chicago and then are starting to recognize the problem because, I mean, there's, there's natural antipathy towards Hispanics and blacks, even in Chicago.
There's a lot of blacks in Chicago, but there's a lot of Hispanics too.
So now that there's like Venezuelans and Nicaraguans or whatever that are getting precedence over the people who have been there for generations, like the black people, now there's some antipathy.
Now there's some bone to pick with the people who are coming in, but they're getting all these resources.
So I think that we're a lot more tribal than people make us out to be.
And then now people are starting to see the fruits of that actually coming to fruition.
elijah schaffer
Right.
But I think one of the things that people bring up that I think is, it often gets written off as sort of being like a racist conversation, but it's really important is like how important culture really is towards safety and trust, right?
Because one of the reasons why doctors wear the white lab coats is because it's a sign of trust.
You know that that's a uniform that doctors wear.
And, you know, there's a woman by the name of Poison Ivy, which is very, very interesting, who put up this tweet today saying it's a rap, medical doctor at 24.
And, I mean, she just looks like a normal woman there.
And then shows that she has damn grills.
You know what I mean?
She's got them grills.
And it's got doctor on the, if you guys can see that.
michael mendoza
Actually, didn't even notice it the first time I saw this.
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
It says doctor on Dem Grills.
elijah schaffer
And, you know, she's, you know, stating in her case, people have a lot of interesting comments to say about this, but she stated, I promise you, any racist, derogatory, or negative tweets about me do not make move me.
I choose this path because I'm dedicated to serving all mankind.
And I worked hard to get there.
I'll spend my life saving lives while you spend yours spreading hate.
Trust, I'm good.
Well, first of all, no one really thinks that doctors are really saving lives.
It's not like, I mean, unless you're like a trauma.
michael mendoza
Yeah, like a heart surgeon or something.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, yeah.
Like people just think it's more like maintaining critical disease, right?
It's actually keeping up the disease system that is built into our economy thanks to the help of big pharma and big ag and big food.
But not only is that an interesting, you know, very narcissistic approach to medicine.
I'm not even a medical doctor, but coming from, I used to work in the medical field and I have training in the medical field.
And I don't think we've ever said doctors save lives.
It's never been the mentality.
So she's watching too much television.
But on top of that, you know, it's like people are mocking you because you have grills in your teeth and it makes you appear like you're not a serious person.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
And it's a very serious job, right?
You can kill people with the wrong prescription.
And being like, damn, I'm a doctor makes me go, hey, I don't think you understand why we respect respect physicians.
It's not just the doctor.
It's the mentality.
It's who you become.
It's what you represent.
And when you have like Dem Grills on and you have this, you know, I'm just, I'll be whoever I want.
You racism against me.
And you're going, hey, you know, I think I'm going to pass.
Can Sharnishkwa?
I'm going to go ahead and I'm looking for a Dr. Michaels or Dr. Fong, maybe.
You know what I mean?
Let's go.
Not Sharnishkwa, but I, ma'am, your name's Poison Ivy.
You know, I'd rather have a doctor that doesn't have the name of something that causes irritation.
michael mendoza
Yeah, right.
elijah schaffer
So, no, but I mean, like, it's, they don't understand it.
Like, that's why culture is important.
So, like, black people always ask, like, well, why am I not taking seriously?
Honestly, if you were just black and you, you know, were a doctor, people probably wouldn't think twice in the field.
But if your doctor comes in, it's like the same thing with fat doctors or doctors that smoke.
You doubt them a bit.
You go, why are you a fat doctor?
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't know if I trust you.
There is something to decorum that people realize that, you know, our cultures are very important to preserve.
And it seems like nobody cares to preserve them.
And then they complain about the consequences.
It's like, why don't them why people, you know, accept me?
And you're like, well, because you're, you look ghetto.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
unidentified
You know, and it's not an grills on your teeth.
sarah stock
Like, that's a very, you know, that's not the same thing as having like a little tattoo, like how girls get like a little tattoo or something.
It's not even like anywhere on that level, a grill on your teeth.
That's what like these rappers have that they get grills and their bodies are absolutely covered in tattoos and they have like a crazy haircut and they like do drugs all the time and inject their body with weird things.
It's like, it's kind of a symptom of someone who's just not really a healthy person.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
And it kind of makes me think of every time that there's some kid who has like dreadlocks or something, and then he's going to like a graduation or some kind of like formal ceremony.
And then they say, hey, cut your hair, or you have to hide your hair or something.
The reason for that is the same reason why if you go to China or something, even they wear suits.
And why do they wear suits?
Because there is this formality to it.
There is like kind of like the same thing with the with the doctor's lab coats or whatever.
Like it is a uniform.
And I think that, you know, I think that non-white people aren't so used to that uniform, that uniformity.
I think they look down on it.
I think that they think that they got too much flavor to be uniform or to like, or like they all have to stick out in some ways, which is why they're always like tattooing their bodies or they're getting 28 inch rims on their cars or crazy paint jobs on the cars or whatever.
But I mean, what got us to this point is uniformity is, and, you know, that's not saying that everyone has to fall online and then be the exact same, but there are standards.
Like that's the main thing.
And I think that these people just don't respect standards, but the West was built on standards.
It was built on merit.
And until we get back to that, we're going to keep getting people like this who think that it's just something too flexible.
You know, it's like that, it's not something serious.
It's just sad.
unidentified
Yeah.
sarah stock
I mean, I don't even think it's about uniformity as much as it is about standards because you can, you know, you can wear a different color suit.
You could wear a different color dress.
But it's more about like how formal it is and like how good and professional and serious you look.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
Well, yeah.
And I think that they always accuse you.
It's like, well, hey, look, there is a culture to abide to.
And when you, you know, they're the ones that get so mad that anyone jacks their culture.
Well, modern medicine is our culture.
So we, we dictate what is normal, right?
You get, these people get mad about braids and cornrows and, you know, people dancing to Jason Derillo.
I don't know if they do, but I think they do.
At the same time, it's like, come on, it just gets ridiculous.
It's getting out of hand.
And I don't know what to think about it besides this.
That way, I want to mention one last story here.
RiftTV.com reports that 8647 scandal fired FBI chief Comey probed by Secret Service over alleged Trump death threat.
Check this out.
The Secret Service has launched an investigation to former FBI director James Comey after accusations surfaced Thursday that he called for violence against President Donald Trump in a now deleted Instagram post prompting outrage from Trump allies and a swift response from federal authorities.
Comey, fired by Trump in 2017 posted an image of seashells arranged to form the numbers 8647 during a beach walk capturing a cool shell formation on my beach walk.
The number 86, slaying for eliminated or ejecting someone, combined with Trump's designation as the 47th president was interpreted by Trump's inner circle as a coded death threat.
While President Trump is currently on an international trip to the Middle East, the former FBI director puts out what he clearly be interpreted as a hit on the sitting president of the United States, a message etched in the sand.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Bodowich wrote on X, while President Trump is currently on an international trip to the Middle East, the former FBI director puts out what he can clearly be interpreted as a hit on the sitting president of the United States, a message etched in the sand.
This is deeply concerning for us all.
All right, let's just ask this a basic question here.
Do you think this was a coded death threat, Sarah?
sarah stock
I mean, what else would it be?
But it's just like, the whole story is just very weird to me.
I mean, obviously people are going to pick up on that.
I don't get it at all.
It's just very weird.
I don't even know what to think of it.
It feels like too obvious or something, like such an obvious stunt.
Like, I don't know what the purpose is.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
You know, what comes down to it is like, it does seem like an obvious stunt, but I also don't know if he really thinks through this.
And he could have been drinking too.
You know, a lot of people are posting while drunk.
You ever notice that?
michael mendoza
Wait, hold on.
In DC have vices and habits that could negatively affect their lives.
That doesn't ring with me.
elijah schaffer
It's just coming in my ear right now.
michael mendoza
Yeah, getting that from the Rift news desk right now, actually.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, it's coming in pretty strong right now that apparently people in media and in entertainment industries and DC, so areas where you get a lot of attention, typically have pretty loose sexual proclivities, substance abuse problems, and oftentimes it complicates their personal life.
Now, obviously, this is unconfirmed.
There have been no studies by Pfizer put out on this yet.
My understanding is NIH hasn't done a conclusive 10-year background check on socioeconomic factors that relate to this.
And then also the Department of Housing and Urban Development has not been granted any official money to study this in a daily interactive race and how it affects black people in our cities.
michael mendoza
However, we need a $50 million jet to even research that.
And I'm sure that if we did get that jet, then we could research it.
And then we would come to the conclusion that it is actually true, but it does not apply to the people here at Rift TV.
So that's good.
That's great.
elijah schaffer
Thank God.
michael mendoza
That's perfect.
elijah schaffer
Thank God.
Because here at Rift TV, we're all perfect.
And this is why I tell you, you hear anything about us on the internet, it's all true.
Even if it contradicts itself, it's all true.
Including that video of Sarah getting hit in the face with AI.
That really happened.
That was a real video.
How are you doing?
Are you recovering okay?
sarah stock
My face is still a little bit bruised right now.
It kind of hurts, but I think I'll be fine.
michael mendoza
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was some mollywops, too.
Like, it wasn't even just like a little like jab.
It was like a freaking haymaker.
It's pretty pretty rough.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for that.
That wasn't me, but I mean, you know, no, absolutely.
sarah stock
I think that was Mike Mendoza's alt account.
unidentified
Posting that.
michael mendoza
What was it again?
It was like something groper.
It was like pilot Groyper or something.
I think, I don't know.
No idea, but it wasn't me.
elijah schaffer
Yeah.
michael mendoza
Unconfirmed.

sarah stock
Yeah, I mean, we went over his story a little bit with how he recovered from the lawfare waged against him after January 6.
But really, we're kind of just talking about, you know, will J6ers ever get real justice for what happened to them?
And seems like they won't.
And kind of even just a broader sense of like, why do Republicans never try to get justice?
Why do we never do anything?
We're never getting justice for what happened during COVID.
And it's like we're just pretending like these things never happened and not using any of the power that we finally have now.
