Well, it turns out that the U.S. Supreme Court has once again cited against the American public in favor of the radical woke agenda.
And well, before you accuse me of being a boomer and talking about the woke left, the woke left is still very real.
And it is a dangerous asset that is being weaponized and wielded against the American public.
Reuters reported just today that the U.S. Supreme Court rejects a case about students.
There are only two genders t-shirts.
So essentially, what happened was he wore a t-shirt that said there's only two genders.
We'll talk about the details.
He sued to get his rights back to have freedom of speech.
They ended up overturning his rights in a lower court.
And the U.S. Supreme Court said, you know what?
Freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach, right?
That's the famous saying.
You can own the shirt, but it's not that you can wear it everywhere you want.
Essentially agreeing that there are more than two genders and with the original accusation that saying that phrase can cause irreparable harm to individuals.
Some people say those people did what they said they were going to do to themselves.
We live in a better world, but who knows?
Plus, it also turns out right here that Antifa, if you can see the screen going through it, attacked a Christian service in Seattle.
Yeah, Antifa's back.
That's pretty insane.
We're talking about these stories so much more here.
Another episode of The Rift only on RiftTV.com.
Let's start the show.
Welcome back to another episode of our iteration of our nightly podcast Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern time on Rumble and on YouTube.

It really helps us out a lot, guys.
One thing I noticed is with YouTube, everybody has a Google account.
So it's really easy to get super chats for people to share and comment, but nobody makes an account on Rumble.

You don't have to send us any support.
Support the platforms that are supporting you.
Joining me today again are our group of panelists.
I think there's a little more of a serious tone, but the dances may be, we may bring them back on casual Fridays, you know?
I think casual Fridays may elicit a dance, but until we get back to that point, we are not going to be doing that.
If you guys see the new look here, this is our new show.
You know that we've had slightly offensive on Tuesdays and Thursday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern Time and the Rift Report, which is our new show, Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 3.
To make it easier for all of us, we just brought our family together.
The divorce is gone.
And now we are all under one brand and one name.
It's very woke of us, right?
We're all just kind of getting along today.
Let's go ahead and let's get into our top stories for today.
Our top story, we've got to come back in as well from that here.
There you go.
All right.
It's a new show.
That being said, Reuters reported something very interesting.
U.S. Supreme Court rejects a case about students.
There's only two genders t-shirt.
Let me see if I can get this open here.
There we go.
So speaking on this matter, the U.S. Supreme Court rejects the case, and here's what they had to say.
Check this out.
So it turns out that a, let me go move it over.
There you go.
Washington, the U.S. Supreme Court declined on Tuesday to hear a student's challenge on free speech grounds to Massachusetts public schools decision to bar him from wearing a t-shirt, reading, quote, there are only two genders due to concern about the message's effect on transgender and other pupils.
I also think that's a typo there from them due to concern about the message's effect on transgender.
Like it's a singular, like the transgender.
Now, the justices turned away and appealed by a student who was 12 at the time.
Listen, this is another typo.
The justices turned away and appealed by student.
They're not even rereading their stuff.
So before anyone gives us crap for this show, I mean, technical problems, remember, this is literally Reuters.
This is supposed to be one of the most authoritative sources on information.
They're not even putting a conjunction or anything like that.
They don't even have grammarly.
They don't even be having it, you know?
So the student was 12 at the time of the 2023 incident of a lower court's ruling upholding the ban as a reasonable restriction and rejecting his claim that the school's action violated the U.S. Constitution's protections against government abridgment of speech.
We go down to say here that student Liam Morrison, along with his father and stepmother, sued officials at John T. Nichols Middle School and the town of Middleborough, seeking monetary damages.
Now, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, very, very, very classic American name there.
You know what I mean?
I love those Indira Talwanis.
My aunt was named that actually.
And then the Boston-based First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against him.
Now, the First Circuit's decision stated that it was, quote, reasonable for Middleborough to forecast that a message displayed throughout the school day denying the existence of the gender identities of transgender and gender non-conforming students would have a serious negative impact on those students' ability to concentrate on their classroom work.
And it gets worse.
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito in dissent on Tuesday called the first circuit ruling flawed, saying, as this case makes clear, some lower courts are confused on how to manage the tension between students' rights and school obligations.
Alito wrote, joined by fellow conservative justice Clarence Thomas.
Our nation's students, teachers, and administrators deserve clarity on this critically important question.
Okay, so to break this down for people, what it appears like is what the woke always does.
They restrict our rights under something that they present as reasonable.
So this guy wears a shirt saying there are only two genders.
The school says, not that they disagree with him or that he's not allowed to say that.
It's just that when he does say that, aka shirts are speech.
He has words on his shirt.
It is, quote, distracting and traumatizing two other students who live in a mentally ill, made up world.
That's literally what that's what they're saying.
And the argument of why the court would have been upholding it is because just like girls are not supposed to be wearing spaghetti straps because, you know, the shoulders, I mean, these are young horny boys.
It can distract them.
Just like guys, you know, have to keep their hair cut above their ears at certain schools.
They're kind of presenting it like that.
Like, hey, we don't want anything bombastic, no political statements, things that might hurt people.
We want them to focus on their work.
But we know what this is.
If he had said trans rights are human rights, would they have cared that Christian students were offended?
If they had said there are 500 genders, would the men and the women who have their heads screwed on correctly, if they were offended, would they have cared?
No, we know this is a one-sided application of these rules, and they use our own rules against us to enforce their hegemony.
You brought this story up, Kai, but that's kind of what happened.
People aren't understanding, and it's a precedent.
It is our top story because every loss in the world of free speech, whether it's from middle school to high school on, is a loss for all of us.
Big time, I think the fact that this took place in a middle school is probably the worst part about it.
You know, viewers in the chat are right to point out that this is a young kid.
He was 12 at the time that he wore this t-shirt.
And the school cited that there was suicidal ideation and there was trauma, depression, anxiety based on, by the way, the discriminatory treatment against these trans and other non-heterosexual conforming or identifying students.
They cited that as a reason for this uproar in the school that it could take place had he worn his shirt or had he continued wearing it.
Well, hold on.
He's in a middle school.
We're talking about seventh and eighth graders.
We're talking about 12 and 13 year olds.
And we are, by just reading this story, we're supposed to read into it, or they're trying not to make it so obvious, but we can read into it that there are 12 and 13 year olds who are facing suicidal ideation on the basis of, you know, a gender dysphoria that they are feeling or mistreatment in the middle school on the basis of their gender identity.
When we live in a world where these middle schoolers, these 12 and 13 year olds are suffering from gender dysphoria at rates we've never ever seen before.
And we're being told that, well, that's just the way it's always been.
Now we're just more open about it.
We can truly realize that, like you said, Elijah, there is a preference towards a particular kind of speech.
They are trying to rewrite what the reality is.
It is not actually the reality that these 12 and 13 year olds have been suffering from gender dysphoria forever.
It's the fact that this is a largely socialized kind of identity.
When you are told all around, like you said, that there are 500 genders, gender is a social construct.
That's when you actually push these kids into identifying with lifestyles that are not congruent with their nature or their true identity, their true sex.
And that makes them unhappy.
But of course, who ends up punished?
This kid who wore a t-shirt that said an established biological fact.
Yeah, I mean, it's really sad to see what's happening in this child, but we see it all throughout the school school districts all around the world, where they push this type of ideology onto these children and force all this agenda down their throat.
You know, the thing about anything to do with transgenderism, it's a mental disorder.
It's a rejection of oneself.
So what they do is they go ahead and they want to try to reach out and find something else that can make them fulfill, but that is not something that's going to work for them.
That's why you find the suicide rates are so much higher.
That's why you find a lot of kids are running into tons of trouble.
So to see them attack the child, as you mentioned, if it was any other language that was on the shirt, it would have been welcomed by the school, no problem.
But because it's not, it's going against the mind virus that they're indoctrinating our kids into, that's where you get that, you know, the rejection from them.
So it's crazy and it's unfortunate.
And it even goes with a lot of the literature that they're giving to the kids at schools now.
I think the point people want me to make here is that the Supreme Court upheld the lower court's ruling, which is the critical factor there is that they didn't really care about this issue.
The free speech isn't on their agenda.
They're too busy making sure that illegal aliens can stay in the country.
But like what you're saying, which I think is true, is, again, we all understand not having kids wear bombastic things that could distract.
Like that is a very key understanding of why even in Australia they still make the kids wear uniforms.
We should get back to that with hats and suspenders and the whole nine yards, also called Kai's daily wear.
But yes, what they do is it's called the rules for thee, but not for me.
They're always applying it unequivocally against students, but this isn't new.
Yeah, I know this has been going on for a long time.
And that's why right now they're talking about Trump passing a bill to go ahead and go against the school system, the Department of Education, because we're tired of the children being indoctrinated.
We're tired of these rules being put out that, you know, parents aren't agreeing with.
I want to play this and I want to hear Sarah's thoughts on this too.
But the kid gave a testimony.
And I'm reminding you, like, before you look at this kid, you think, oh, maybe this is like some grown kid.
Middle schoolers, right?
This is kind of always the point.
Like, when you hear that, like, a teacher slept with like a 16-year-old guy, you're like, okay, you look at him.
He looks like he's like 30.
And you're like, this is a little bit of a different situation than, let's say, you know, you hear like, you know, again, in middle school, you have to ask the question, when a kid's acting like this, is he like an old kid?
Does he look like he's like maybe trying to poke people?
Does he look like he's trying to press the boundaries?
He's going to be dangerous.
Maybe he looks dangerous.
Maybe he looks threatening.
Maybe he's a skinhead.
He looks like a Nazi and they're really looking out for the safety of students.
Well, let me show you the threatening student.
You know, there he is.
That's the threatening guy.
You go, you go, okay, there's not even confusion there.
It's not even like, it's not one of those stories where like, yeah, you go, okay, I could see where this could get complicated.
Not justifying any of those situations, but you go, this is definitely one of those iffy kind of situations that you're like, no, this is, there's no understanding.
This kid is non-threatening.
He doesn't look like he's, you know, gonna cause any problems.
He doesn't even look like he would even fully have just self-will or determination, right?
And he gave, he gave this speech, and that's all I was gonna say, because they made him seem in the ruling like he was this like dangerous, intentionally provocative, you know, force or threat on campus.
And I looked at the picture and go, the hell are they talking about?
Livso TikTok posted this.
Watch.

In the seventh grade at Nichols Middle School, I appreciate the opportunity to speak to you today.
I never thought that the shirt I wore to school on March 21st would lead me to speak with you today.
On that Tuesday morning, I was taken out of gym class to sit down with two adults for what turned out to be a very uncomfortable talk.
I was told that people were complaining about the words on my shirt.
The mature was making some students feel unsafe.
Yes, words on a shirt made people feel unsafe.
They told me that I wasn't in trouble, but I sure felt like I was.
I told, I was told, that I would need to remove my shirt before I could return to class.
When I nicely told them that I didn't want to do that, they called my father.
Thankfully, my dad supported my decisions and came to pick me up.
What did my shirt say?
Five simple words.
There are only two genders.
Nothing harmful, nothing threatening.
Just a statement I believe to be a fact.
I have been told that my shirt was targeting a protected class.
Who is this protected class?
Are their feelings more important than my rights?
I don't complain when I see pride flags and diversity posters hung throughout the school.
Do you know why?
Because others have a right to their beliefs just as I do.
Not one person, staff, or student told me that they were bothered by what I was wearing.
Actually, just the opposite.
Several kids told me that they supported my actions and that they wanted one too.
I experienced...
Wait a moment.
I was told that this shirt was a disruption to learning.
No one got up and stormed out of class.
No one burst into tears.
I'm sure I would have noticed if they had.
I experienced disruptions to my learning every day.
Kids acting out in class are a disruption, yet nothing is done.
Why do the rules apply to one yet not another?
I feel like these adults were telling me that it wasn't okay for me to have an opposing view.
Their arguments were weak, in my opinion.
I didn't go to school that day to hurt feelings or cause trouble.
I have learned a lot from this experience.
I learned that a lot of other students share my view.
I learned that adults don't always do the right thing or make the right decisions.
I know that I have a right to wear those five shirts with those five words.
Even at 12 years old, I have my own political opinions, and I have a right to express those opinions.
Even at school, this right is called the First Amendment to the Constitution.
My hope in being here tonight is to bring the school committee's attention to this issue.
I hope that you will speak up for the rest of us so we can express ourselves without being pulled out of class.
Next time, it may not only be me.
There might be more students that decide to speak out.
There's an excitement about it, but I think you're right.
You know, we're told that the Supreme Court is one of Trump's great victories.
That we now have done.
Exactly.
We now have a conservative Supreme Court.
We overturned Roe v. Wade.
But what is this?
This is exactly what we have a Supreme Court for in order, like Justice Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas, to their credit, they said that they would have taken and they would have reviewed this case on behalf of this kid because they knew that this is an important moment to set a judicial precedent.
The problem is the other justices, including Amy Coney Barrett and some others, who are supposedly conservative justices, are absolutely not interested in establishing this kind of precedent.
They are willing to uphold the lower court's order, and they are absolutely allowing this freedom of speech, which was so prized, so treasured.
The way that the kid put it is, I think, the way most Americans envision it.
They're allowing that vision of freedom of speech to be turned into this total, just absolute authorization of anything that is against the American nation that is against its freedoms and is also a way of persecuting those who try to speak up in favor of the historic American nation.
We got our first YouTube super chat ever, by the way, here on this new channel.
Can we get that?
Let's go.
I just wanted to say that.
And it's in Euros, which is even crazier.
Told you, we have a very big overseas audience here.
Love you, Elijah.
Love the show.
Best of luck to you and the team in the future on YouTube.
So on YouTube, you can send super checks.
So whether or not there's a lot of people watching, I'm hoping that we can get back up to 100 by the end of the show.
But I want to remind you guys, I'm going to go ahead and put the link in our chat here on Rumble that you guys can subscribe to our new YouTube channel and watch there.
And my goal is, is like, I think we're playing the long game here.
By the end of like maybe six, seven months, I'm hoping that we, you know, have a few hundred people watching on YouTube.
By the end of the year, I'm hoping we get to like a thousand.
That would be really, really cool.
Who knows what will happen?
But I'd like to rebuild that audience with you guys and get back out because we want to hit the normies.
And somebody said, you know, I used to come for the show for the informality.
Don't be deceived.
Just because I'm wearing a blazer doesn't mean that I'm no longer retarded.
I want to, I want to point one thing out from that.
Lastly, from that before we switch, is that there was a tweet from the school.
I think this was, right?
Yeah, somebody said this about the school.
RCBG62 said, exaggerating the meaning of something does not make it important.
Student handbooks clearly state many things are not allowed on t-shirts.
It is really easy not to send your kids out to spread you or their political view.
I agree.
There are only two genders, but school isn't the place to argue pro or con.
You know, I think this is like that boomer-losing take, you know, where it's like a company will literally kick out someone for being Republican and the liber cringe people will come out and be like, you know, it's a private business.
They can do whatever they want.
And that mentality is so toxic and destructive because that mentality has led to corporatism or corporate cronyism, where these corporations now have more authority than our own, than God, right?
Because where do our rights come from?
Our rights come from God.
They are God-given.
This is the delineation between anyone that from the crown, from Australia, from that is still under their authority.
They're under the authority of the crown, not of God.
So their rights are given to them, right?
Whether you're in Canada, New Zealand, you are given your rights.
Okay, now this works really well for conquering people like Indians because they are a tribal or a collective or a outward facing society.
So they need to be given and told what to do.
But to the autonomous white man, the point is, is, hey, our rights no longer come from the crown.
Because they don't come from you, no man can take them away.
They come from God.
Now, all that Americans have done in this idea is like, well, you know, I love the same guy will go, a British guy says, like, you know, oh, at least we don't have school shootings.
And the guy goes, well, at least we haven't cared about what a British person thinks since 1776.
And then they turn around and go, like, well, if Walmart said that you can't say that, then you can't say that.
It's like, okay, so you just replaced the crown for Wall Street, right?
It's the stock market controls your rights.
It's no longer, you know, King, the King, Charles, right?
Larry Fink is in charge of what you can or can't say.
So the point of the contradiction is like, no, no companies should be able to do anything to establish rights or schools, especially public schools, above the rights that God has given us.
That is what's American.
And so, yeah, I have to say personally, if you watch my shows long enough, I am offended by this because back in 2000, 2010, it was, It was in 2009, 2010, after I was already politically radicalized, I was told that I had to take off my Commune Obama shirt that was Obama as Che Guevara with the communist flag because it was disrespectful to veterans.
Turns out the guy who told me that I couldn't wear it and gave me detention for it was a radical leftist.
And I called him a commie and got a Saturday school for Colin McCamie.
But it's like, but it's like, again, it's true, right?
If you're a commie, be proud of it.
If I call you gay, why is it that there's certain groups that, you know, when you point out who they are, they get offended by it.
Well, and I think the right wing has that habit as well of getting offended on behalf of the leftists.
And they do it because, you know, freedom is this overarching moral value.
It gives me the same kind of sentiment as when you see the people who are most offended about a white person saying the N-word are other white people, which is like, dude, who are you doing this for?
Like, is this going to give you like some social credit?
Are your black friends going to hang out with you more?
Hell yeah.
But the funny thing is, and what is truly, maybe to some trite, but truly important, it is that the paradigm in the Republican Party of libertarianism and this understanding, this traditional understanding of the amendments and a freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and these things is absolutely not compatible with our true political reality today.
No matter what, the left is going to use force to destroy you.
They are never going to make the government smaller when they're in office.
All we do when we make the government swallow is we allow them to more easily take away our rights later on.
We are basically just going hands off.
Well, we actually don't want to meddle in your rights because we don't want our guns taken away either.
You guys will respect that when you get into office, won't you?
No, they won't.
They absolutely won't.
And this thinking has gotten us to the place we are now where we are unable, or rather, when we do accept that these two statements that there are 500 genders or that all of these identities are true and legitimate or are as legitimate as being a man and being a woman, we've gotten to the point where we accept these two realities or these two arguments as equally viable or true.
That's not the case.
It is a sad reality when a kid who wears a factual statement, like there are only two genders or there are two sexes, is being treated as if his opinion is just that, that it is just as equal or he is as, he has as much of a right to say it as somebody who is literally trying to destroy our country or indoctrinate our children or say anything.
And that's unfortunate.
Frankly, the separation of church and state is a great example of that.
The separation of church and state did not exist to make sure that nobody ever voted their religious moral conscience.
It actually exists to ensure that religious morality was the foundation for the country, which is why John Adams said the Constitution is made only for immoral and religious people and is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Most people don't elaborate what the second part means.
It means that unless you have the religious morality, the Constitution doesn't work, which means that any of those amendments, the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, the right to bear arms, none of those work unless you are willing to forcefully apply the principles on which it were founded, which are what?
Conservatism.
They're not just, you know, this free liberalism, the way that the Republican Party thinks we ought to behave.
Okay, the flesh-eating parasite is advancing towards the U.S. Also, if anyone can tell me, I can send an email to me how to get rid of this task bar.
No matter what I do to show you, no, don't text me.
I asked you guys the other day.
I have actually tried multiple times to see this.
When you do automatically hide taskbar, it does nothing.
It just glitches the screen.
So I don't know how to get rid of it on this computer.
If you can see it, we have lots of new.
This is a brand new computer.
A flesh-eating parasite, though, is advancing towards the U.S. After a decades-long campaign to beat screw worms down to Panama.
They're speeding back up north by Sarah Zang.
And before I bought into the fear, I did a last name check.
We're okay.
The United States has for 70 years been fighting a continual aerial war against the New World screw worm, a parasite that eats animals alive.
Cow, pig, deer, dog, even human.
And no, that's just Chinese people.
No, I'm just kidding.
Okay.
Anyway, they do keep animals alive.
All right.
Larvae of the parasitic fly chew through the flesh, transforming small nicks into big, gruesome wounds.
But in the 1950s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture laid the groundwork for a continent-wide assault.
Workers raised screw rooms in factories, blasted them with radiation until they were sterile, and dropped the sterile adult screw worms by the millions, even hundreds of millions, weekly over the U.S., then farther south in Mexico, and eventually in the rest of North America.
It gets even more interesting.
The sterile flies proceeded to, well, screw the continent's wild populations into oblivion.
And in 2006, an invisible barrier was established at the Darien Gap, the jungle that straddles the Panama-Colombia border to cordon the screw room free north from the south.
The barrier, as I observed, when a reporter from Panama several years ago consisted of planes releasing millions of sterile screw rooms to rain down over Darien Gap every week.
This never-ending battle kept the threat of screw rooms far from America.
But in 2022, the barrier was breached.
Cases in Panama, mostly in cattle, skyrocketed from dozens to a thousand spot-ongoing drops of sterile flies.
The parasite then began moving northward at first slowly and then rapidly by 2024, which is when I began getting alarmed emails from those following the situation.
As of this month, the parasite has advanced 1,600 miles through eight countries to reach Oexaca and Veracruz or Veracruz in Mexico.
With 700 miles left to go until the Texas border, the U.S. subsequently suspended live cattle imports from Mexico.
After this late this news broke, I spoke with Wayne Cockrell, a Texas rancher who fears about the screw rooms.
Okay, so I uh, by the way, were happening for $500 there.
By the way, speaking of someone who's been in Mexico and got deported, a lot of people are complaining where's Mendoza.
A few of you actually did in the comments.
Like, I signed up to watch Mendoza.
Mendoza is busy writing his report.
How do you think Mendoza report gets published?
He's writing it.
So give the man some space.
No, but yeah.
So the cattle are obviously traded and shipped.
They're usually bred in rural areas.
We import a lot of cattle.
Sometimes alive cattle.
I'm sure sometimes this even could be, I don't know how the parasite spreads in dead cattle, but I'm sure there's a lot of swapping of beef, especially considering the fact that some places make good beef.
The weird thing was, too, like when I was in El Salvador, you couldn't get good steak.
You know, not every country has good steak.
We are planning on doing a trip here to the meat market.
Oh, you should, we should have done it while you were here.
There's this place called meat market here in Boca, and it's like a five-star steakhouse like any other really good one, except it's different.
You order a giant butcher board and they just hang like wagu meats all over it.
That aside, I did want to point out that whenever we're in the world and you think you have problems, remember, there's a lot of people working a lot of jobs that we don't want to work that are doing a great thing for our country.
And having come from a scientific background, it is actually scary the amount of money that the NIH and that our Homeland Security, that our Border Patrol, and that our Coast Guard invests on top of other agencies in our government to keep us safe from threats that are microscopic.
And I don't know about you, but like, I think this is actually quite serious because remember, not because I think it's going to attack the cattle, but remember, they've used the bird flu to cause a shortage of eggs and to like cause inflation.
I think that they're going to end up using this to sort of further stop meat consumption.
Like, there's any intention feeds on tissue, supposedly.
That's kind of what I'm reading.
One of the things, though, that I always think about, it's just like, this is just a consequence of living in this globalized society.
Globalization comes with so many consequences that people don't consider.
It's like, what was it that started the bubonic plague?
What was it that caused these evil plagues, COVID?
It was international travel.
It was international commerce.
It was some weird appetites in the Asian community.
But really, it is that.
It's that every single time we expand to become more global, and it comes with all of these unintended consequences.
Technological development, globalization has so many negatives that we don't honestly, I think some people are expecting it, but most people are not wary of it prior to supporting it.
And we continue to make this mistake as conservatives.
We continue to believe that you can just march on and technologically progress, become more of a global community without these major consequences.
And then every single time one of the consequences or one of the negative aspects of globalization arises, well, who is it that ends up finding the solution?
It's the people who are trying to kill us.
What do you think was the COVID response?
It was exactly the people who wanted more control over our lives who were able to manipulate the thing that they had argued for before, which is global trade, global traffic, mass migration from foreign nations.
They were able to manipulate the consequence of that and use it as a way of breaching our private lives more efficaciously.
That's the problem.
That is the big war we are waging.
It is nationalism versus globalism.
It is the ability of a nation to control its borders, to control the people coming in and out, and also the cows and the cattle and the food and everything.
That is the real war that we're waging.
And until we can stop it, we're going to keep seeing these unintended consequences that are just a preface and a way of infringing on our rights.
I know what you think about this though, because we were talking a lot about antibiotics recently.
A friend of ours has an infection.
But I wanted to bring up the fact is that the reason why people fear this is because a lot of these bugs have developed severe immunity to our own systems of rebuttal.
It's called mutation, right?
Now, people say mutation is evidence for macrocosmic evolution.
I don't believe that there is speciation at that level that you can transfer or transition species.
Because if evolution is real, then blacks and whites are different species technically in very many ways, right?
In very many ways.
And I don't think, I don't ascribe to that.
I just don't ascribe to that.
I think it's a very racist nomenclature to sort of say that essentially we all came from like black looking things and monkeys.
And the closer you look to being a monkey and black, the less human you are.
Yeah, that got silenced as soon as it started dealing with children and they didn't want to put that on the TV.
So it is a little bit scary.
I do believe that in a sense, we have seen them, as Elijah mentioned, they've been attacking our food supplies, you know, our food supply with the bird flu.
I'm Robert F. Kennedy Jr., your age as a secretary, and I'm here today with NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Kerry.
I couldn't be more pleased to announce that as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule.
Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children.
I remember it wasn't that, was it Bill Maher that said that they said, you changed your opinion?
He said, no, the science changed, right?
The science changed.
And reminding you that science was gospel, right?
During this time.
And dude, you have, we have mentioned it multiple times, but for people who are watching this, I live in and out of Australia.
Obviously, people know that they were very, very strong with their COVID policies over there, just to put it lightly.
They had literal containment camps.
But on top of that, when we try to come back into the United States, my wife is a green card holder, right?
She's a green card.
But she was told while being seven months pregnant that she needed to get two jabs, two jabs to get back.
Our government was forcing her to get that, to come back into the country, even with all of the research saying that that was not a healthy recommendation.
And do you know that they pushed it in Australia?
They pushed pregnant women to get it because they had almost a 90%.
This is from Alicia Powell, but it says here: Big Pharma and their pals in the government have pushed one size fits all for the jab narrative, ignoring the collateral damage.
But now the new sheriff in town, he's not afraid to cult like it is.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy announced Tuesday that the C-19 jab has been stripped from the Centers of Disease Controls Preventions Recommendation schedule for healthy children and pregnant women.
And, you know, what I don't like about the government is when they realize that they've done something cataclysmic.
Remember, they found the passport on 9-11 and it went missing, right?
I think one of the things that's the most crazy to me is just that they allow scientists to become celebrities.
I don't know if you guys have seen those yard signs where it's like they have their own motto.
They have their slogan.
I pulled it up here: we believe Black Lives Matter.
No human is illegal.
Love is love.
Women's rights are human rights.
Science is real.
Water is life.
What is that last sentence?
But anyway.
Oh, and then injustice everywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
But it's like they have their mantras, they have their celebrities.
Frankly, they run it like a mega church.
There's donations.
These are companies.
And it's something that you participate in publicly on social media where you are getting stickers on Instagram to show off that you have taken a vaccine.
But it's remarkable because literally when I found out my friend's dad died from C19, allegedly, I said, did they give him Rem Desivir and put him on a ventilator to innovate him?
And he goes, yeah, why?
I go, shit.
I was like, you know, that is a deadly combo for a lot of people with diabetes.
And what you were finding is that they were intentionally pushing treatments that would allow them to get reimbursements from the federal government, whether or not the patients lived or died.
And if more patients died, but they put the cause of death to BC-19, then what would happen?
They would get larger, larger payouts and reimbursements to the federal government.
So in my opinion, it's not all just maniacal individuals who are trying to kill people intentionally.
It's like something that is dedicated to trying to keep the people in the country healthy should not at all be so intimately tied with the thing that is, you know, with a kind of organization that is centered around making the most money.
I think this is a huge problem that we have as we try to conflate all of these things.
And it is actually this interpretation that capitalism fixes anything that it touches that has also gotten us to not only become incredibly obese because the cheapest food is often the worst, the worst, or at least the people who are making the cheap food have a lot of money to push advertising, which encourages people to get poor quality food because there is like some cheap, good quality food out there.
But certainly it's not making the advertisements.
When the last time you saw an ad that was telling you to eat a banana.
Well, if you see that as a metaphor, there's plenty of those ads.
But anyway, you know, this is the problem is that these two worlds have collided.
And, you know, there's a huge conflict of interest.
The moment you start telling somebody, we're going to provide you, you know, actually, we're going to give you more money if you claim certain things, if you administer certain medicines, if we're going to, you know, and there is a way this capitalism, like you said, Elijah, turns into cronyism where you just are willing to pay a company anything for developing any kind of medicine.
And you're also willing to pay people who can produce the studies that will allow those medicines to be pushed onto the market.
This conflict of the two ethos of both, you know, capitalism and the economy and of keeping people safe and healthy, that's what's created a large part of this conflict.
And that's why, like I said at the beginning, a huge byproduct of this is seeing people like Dr. Fauci become celebrities.
Also, shout out here on, we did hit over 100 now watching live on YouTube, which is a huge jump too.
And I'm actually actually shocked, but I'm not even joking because it is.
That's like a really good start, even two nights in a row.
And that's just really, really happy that we can be there with you guys.
And shout out to everyone watching all around.
We don't really care about the numbers, but it's good that the show's kicking off pretty strong here.
And I appreciate it.
Now, I want to mention something about Russia here.
Update from last yesterday's topic, which is kind of like crazy.
We want to try to update you on our stories.
Before we talk about that, don't forget, by the way, guys, that part of the reason why people are weak today is due to their inability to regulate their own testosterone.
You know, there's an actual war that is wagering against our bodies.
So you have basically chemical things in our bodies that are absolutely tearing us down.
It's the food that we're eating, the forever chemicals.
What are those things called too?
The P something?
What are they called?
Phthalates.
Phthalates.
Yeah, yeah.
Phallates.
Yeah, yeah.
You have the forever chemicals, and T is dropping.
What that does is it lowers our grip strength.
It's lowering our libido.
Like, dude, there are like 18-year-olds with erectile dysfunction who like, cannot and will not, and are unable to get an erection for a long time around, like a young, hot girl.
That's their age.
And I, I had a new girl that I knew that was like, she was like i'm dating a guy and she was uh, one of my wife's friends and she was like my boyfriend can't get an erection.
I know it's not supposed to be doing that, but let's just say this, that's problematic, that's a testosterone, that's a, that's a hormone problem.
Uh, my point being is, is that, whether you have that problem or not, you can benefit from having higher tea?
Now, the only way to get this is by supplementing either intramuscularly um, so you inject it or you can take it uh, sublingually under your tongue through a carbon delivery system.
Thankfully, you can skip the needles by going to Elija Igf1.com.
Use promo code Elijah, you can get this Igf1 plus.
But I encourage you to get actually Man's Edge, which has fenugreek no2 and all the other ingredients you would take orally in this tinker that you can put, or tincture.
Is that we go?
Tincture tinker, tinker?
I don't know uh, i've heard the medical term for it, but it's this little dropper that you can put under your tongue and you get direct absorption right into your bloodstream.
98 of the ingredients will get absorbed directly, versus getting 10 to 12 percent if you take it in a pill form, and it'll increase your testosterone up to 46 percent when taken consistently.
Make sure that you pick up your bottles today at Elija igf1.com.
Promo code, Elijah buy one, get one free on auto ship.
So use auto ship today to get that off, plus 10 off, so you get two bottles.
You 60 off, two bottles, basically at cost value to you, but they want you to have it, so check it out, make sure that you get that also.
Um, we are supposed to be uh, oh.
Someone said, uh uh, are we supposed to be on Timpo?
We're gonna be on Timpool on thursday probably, but like this industry, who knows we're supposed to be?
Well, we're going to jump over the story real fast.
I want to talk about this just briefly here.
So yesterday we talked a lot about Russia, that they're sending 50,000 troops to the front, and the United States put out its new recruitment ad.
Well, it turns out that the United States actually did have an idea why they're trying to raise the recruitment levels.
It turns out that we're possibly going to war with Russia, or at least we are reinforcing the Northern Front.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. reinforces Europe's northern front, fearing a war with Russia.
Well, it turns out that Gautland, Sweden, at the crack of dawn, a dozen U.S. Marines recently took positions in a field.
Let me see if I can get that bigger for you guys.
Give me a moment here.
Oh, you know when sites don't even have like it's like a huge site doesn't automatically adjust to size?
That's diabolical.
Well, anyway, the sleepy Swedish island about 200 miles from the Russian city of Kaliningrad and fired their mobile rocket system.
That's 200 miles from Russia, a small Swedish city.
You know what they need?
An immigrant center, right?
Let's get some Indians in there, some Pakistanis.
Well, the diamond musicians splash into the Baltic Sea, yet they sent a message to Russia, even as President Trump has thrown NATO into a historic crisis by questioning its efficacy.
In northern Europe, the U.S. military is doubling down.
The Trump administration wants the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to get more lethal.
A testing ground is Europe's North, where NATO faces Russia on two sides.
Some European officials worry that Americans' commitment to the transatlantic alliance is waning, given Trump's criticism of it and his stated desire to reduce military engagement abroad.
But U.S. military commanders say their posture remains firm.
Well, it also turns out that former U.S. Army perspective, my orders have changed, said Brigadier General Andrew Sazlap, deputy chief of staff for the operations for U.S. Army Europe in Africa.
While the question of the future of U.S. engagement is on my mind, he said, I have been doing this too long to get hyper-focused on political wins and messaging that isn't orders.
The high north and the Baltics have been thrust into the center of U.S. war planning as their access to shipping routes, territory, and energy reserves will be crucial to the West in a new era of geopolitical conflict.
The region is hawkish on Russia and is driving European efforts to rearm and boost defense budgets, including support for Ukraine's own forces.
During a three-week exercise, U.S. and U.K. forces join Nordic and Baltic troops to practice potential war scenarios.
Yada, yada, yada.
Okay, I don't want to spend too much time on this, but I will go to Henny here and just saying, you weren't here yesterday, but, well, now we have the answer.
The U.S. sees that there might need to be an increase of U.S. military deployment of both troops and of weaponry on the northern border.
So it looks like when Putin said that he would possibly invade in four months to do a full takeover of Ukraine, that the U.S. thinks that there might be an escalation and they're probably preparing for it.
Also, I don't think the U.S. would allow the full invasion of Ukraine.
So having troops stationed at the north hopefully is a deterrent, like what Trump said.
I hope we're not going to get involved in the war, but just saying, hey, we're here.
But it does make sense why we're having the videos come out now where they're taking LGBTQ out of the military ads and actually putting white men back into it.
So it's starting to make a little bit more sense.
But I'm personally tired of these endless wars.
You know, there's no reason we need to be in Ukraine.
There's no reason we need to be worrying about Iran.
I mean, what we need to do is just worry about America.
And with Zelensky, I mean, this guy is out of control.
It's to the point where the country was even dragging kids out of nightclubs and forcing them to fight.
So this isn't our battle.
I hope that we're not getting into any of it.
Unfortunately, it looks like our government, no matter who's in charge, just leads us a little bit more closer to each battle.
But yeah, I mean, Zelensky's terrible.
There's plenties of times also when there were supposed to be negotiations opened up and Zelensky, instead of going ahead and agreeing with negotiations, he wanted to go on TV and be like, well, once Ukraine is gone, your sons and daughters will fight.
And it's like, no, our sons and daughters don't deserve this.
Well, by the way, another super chat, $5, Ian Whiskey, Tango Fox said, good start and good luck.
Think about doing some collabs with Pete Quinnones and the Backlash crew.
Honestly, we're completely open.
And in the future, Hennessy here will be working a lot on booking for the show and finding good guests and people around here.
So hopefully in the near future, I'm planning on investing a lot more personal money into bringing out guests for extended periods of time.
I know that Tim Poole likes to just have guests on one at a time.
I think it's easier to bring someone out for like three days and just have them on.
And I think it's like easier on a schedule to like just, if you're already fly out and like spend seven hours and do the whole thing, you better just stay around for a couple nights in a row.
I offered for us to go on twice in a row.
I was like, let's say for two days and go on your show twice.
You know what's even crazier about Cheetah Man, shout out to you, Zeit.
I don't know what else, but I see Elijah Strim and I tune in Simple Mate.
Okay, thank you.
But also, there's a lot of really good podcasts out there.
I think they're kind of doing something similar where maybe they'd like pigeonholed themselves into like being too far right and too extreme.
And then they feel like, hey, maybe there's something about the mainstream appeal, like not just sitting in our room and yelling about like certain topics, but like maybe getting together, putting our minds together and presenting a professional thing.
I've seen, I know what you're talking about.
I've seen their clips.
It's a very good show.
I support it.
Like, meaning a lot of people are getting smarter today on optics.
And I think it's a really, really good, good method.
And I think that if I go up, I'll probably just go in person because you went in person, right?
No, but I still don't know how to ask for a haircut.
All I know is that if I get a haircut in Salt Lake, the entire time I'm like nervous thinking that they're going to recognize me and like slit my throat with the scissors.
You know, getting a haircut's kind of like you're putting your life in somebody's hands.
You know, it's like, shoot, that's like, that's dangerous.
All right.
Usually at this time here, I want to tell you that we're going to go to a five-minute break.
In previous iterations of the show, we'd say a five-minute break.
It'd be like 37 minutes.
But I actually made the timer five minutes now.
This is the time you can get up, take your van man out, do whatever you want with it.
But don't forget, guys, if you want to support me, you can follow me directly on locals, elijahschafer.locals.com.
We're going to figure out what we're doing with this.
Good, good news, guys.
Good news at locals.
We are going to be building our own paywall as well for our website.
But if you are part of locals, when that launches, you're going to be getting a free membership to the website, probably with a further extension than even whatever you have left on your plan.
So you might just get a free automatic year to our website, which is like absolutely fantastic.
So make sure you join and support the show there.
It's a really great way to be.
We did stream there for the first time tonight.
And I don't know, Mendoza, because we have like multiple audio podcasts.
Is this just going to, are we just changing the name to Almost Serious to The Rift and putting them up on the same audio?
Or is it going to be, are we changing slightly offensive's name to the Rift and putting it up there?
So I think these are not up on audio only yet, right?
This one will be, though.
We'll just say this one will be.
Okay, so look up the Rift report on audio podcasts if you want this.
And we're changing it to just the Rift.
That was our previous show.
But if you leave a five-star review, we'll read it at the end of the show.
You can leave them.
We haven't gotten any yet because I don't think people even knew where to leave the review.
We said it yesterday.
But that's what it is, a rift report.
We'll see you guys in about five minutes.
The rest of you guys watching, don't go anywhere.
Like the video, follow us.
Remember, you can and you should leave at least a like, but you should make your Rumble profile.
So while you're waiting right now, go sign up at Rumble.
Put your email in so you can actually send super chats and like, like join the community and be a part of us.
And if you, tonight, tonight, if you send your first super chat as well, if you send your first super chat, whatever, I'll give you a free six-month membership to locals.
So if it's your first time sending a super chat tonight, I'll send you a code.
I think it's five months actually is the most I can send.
I'll send you a five-month, it's like 50 bucks.
I'll send you a free five-month code.
You just need to screenshot your super chat and then email mike.mendoza at rifttv.com and then he'll send you the code and you can get your free thing.
So sign up, send your first super chat.
It can be a dollar.
I don't even care.
Send a super chat and we'll give you a $50 free membership to our locals paywall.
Today, we're going to be talking a few interesting things.
This in our culture section, we're going to be going over some random videos, a little bit of the sightly offensive mentality.
Kai Sanat had an interesting interaction with a Kanye fan.
Plus, we're looking at hood prom as a new phenomenon.
And the king of England does the welcome to country in Canada.
Let's jump into it.
Well, everybody knows it as being woke, or as we call it, being cringe and gay.
There is something called the welcome to country.
It goes by some different names, land acknowledgements, people call it.
It's this new thing where people who conquered other people suddenly feel bad because they were brainwashed into feeling bad that their ancestors did great things and were conquerors.
Then the subsequent matter is, is that they end up saying, you know, hey, we acknowledge this land belongs to this tribe or that tribe, but we don't care enough to actually give it back to you guys.
Some countries, they are giving it back.
Australia is one thing.
Anytime an Aboriginal says, I want that, they give it to them.
And the Australian Aboriginals are really ruining the entire country.
They're going after every tourist site and saying, now that's ours.
And then they're taking all the tourism money and they're taking over the private companies.
It's a form of communism.
And uh, but by people who literally, their best instrument is a hollowed out wooden stick.
That being said, a lot of times we write off the welcome to country and uh we say, well, you know, these are obviously grifters or attention seekers, they're sports players, they have no uh backbone.
Or is the new word I learned today, which I feel really uneducated, is a scruples.
Uh, apparently, apparently, I didn't know the context of that word until today.
Uh, but what starts getting alarming with this woke stuff, right?
It's when you start seeing it at the White House, it's when you start seeing trans people flashing the cameras, you know, on the front lawn.
And you go, gay, you know, remember the anal sex in the Senate hearing room.
I don't know, but all I know is that you remember that though now, even the it might have been while I was gone, but I do remember the Republican, you know, senators who are talking about showing themselves naked in the center here things.
That was just the green room, um, but uh, no, but like there was actually a uh they filmed a sex video inside of like the congressional hearing room, and it was like it was broadcasted and people were sharing it uncensored.
The conservatives while people were like, Isn't this sick?
And you're like, That's a dude getting his ass blown out.
What's wild to me is the fact that when King Charles was born in 1948, England literally still had control of Canada.
It was like property still, basically.
It was one of the places that England was still exercising control.
Of course, decolonization happened very rapidly, and they got kicked out of India, Pakistan.
We've seen how that turned out.
It's very unfortunate.
Like, you see that the way that in this man's lifetime, in this man's lifetime, he has seen the world completely change.
You went from Western nations controlling most of the world, rapid economic development in the next 20 years.
With, you know, you have the case, for example, of Rhodesia and Africa, which is now South Africa.
You have this last stand that was being put up.
It's not to defend, you know, giant colonialization, but it is to say that, well, what was the state of the world at the time?
What was the trajectory of our development?
And how did it turn out?
Because frankly, if the king of a sovereign nation is going to another country and is saying, um guys, I'm sorry, this land was like, this land was y'all.
I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin and the Chinabeg people.
This land acknowledgement is a recognition of shared history as a nation.
While continuing to deepen my own understanding, it is my great hope that in each of your communities and collectively as a country, a path is found toward truth and reconciliation in both word and deed.
But like, you're like, hey, you're going to get a smack.
And then he'll do it.
And he's like, shirts, taking off.
You know what I mean?
Like, you come get the judgment of God.
But no, the truth hurts.
Yeah, the truth hurts.
No, but I mean, like, how far or how turned the tables have, as they would say, right?
It is crazy.
It is crazy to see that that happened in our day and age because I saw this hilarious tweet there that you have the king there being like, hey, sorry that we colonized Canada.
Check this out.
He's like, so we want to apologize for colonization and show our remorse for it.
And then the Indigenous person is like, apologize how?
It's like, all right, India, we would invite you guys as part of this truth and reconciliation to England, but frankly, the Muslims have beat you to it.
But check this out: we had a colony called Canada.
There's plenty of space there.
How about as a way of reconciling?
You know, they don't have enough trash on their floor.
Because I saw a video clip today of, I was looking for it right now, of Niagara Falls.
And apparently, I was reading that there was an uptick in traffic at Niagara Falls from locals from Brampton who have been day tripping, but that they're not spending money.
So I started looking down this road.
It was like, tourism's up at Niagara Falls in Canada, but spending is down and less money's being generated in revenue.
And I'm like, what the heck?
They said, and when I saw it, it was day trippers from Brampton.
I go, ah, I like that phrase.
It's like youth, you know, in our country, right?
Day trippers from Brampton are making up the most of increased traffic.
So like, you know, a lot of people look at like the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and you see like there's a big difference the way people looked, dressed, and spoke.
But if you look at like people from the office in 2002, their haircuts and style pretty much look the same as we dress today.
And in fact, only the only styles we see today are rehashing these styles from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, the 60s as well.
Why?
Why is it that architecture stopped at mid-century modern and then nothing else has changed today besides glass structures?
Well, apparently, I mean, besides there being the Frankis and their idea for architecture, which we know, you know, Germany kicked them out because they saw that they wanted to create this homogeneity in design that was sterile and devoid of artistic venture and of character.
But it is believed that at the start of World War II, not World War I, of 9-11, that there was a consequential institutional push that was by the CIA to ensure that things stopped progressing after 2000.
So there was no main perception of change, that things stayed uniform so that they could not, number one, depopulate the West, therefore to bring in immigrants, because people would get stuck thinking that time isn't changing as fast as it was because things appear to be the same.
So then people would think they have more time.
And by thinking that you have more time, it makes you more docile and less likely to fight because you feel like time's on your side.
But even deeper, by getting people to believe that they're young all the time, it makes you think you're younger because life stays how it was when you were younger.
So things look the same.
They aren't the same in the experience, but the visuals makes you feel like you're still young.
And that's then you won't have children.
Women will think they have a lot of time on their hands.
Men will feel like they have time.
They'll fight back in the future.
They don't need to fight back now.
And it makes a passivity in the society.
And they realize that uniformity and the lack of progression is key.
That's why we don't have massive infrastructure projects.
We don't have bullet trains.
We're not, you know, radicalizing our highways.
And we don't even upkeep our own infrastructure is partly because in order to keep the country from looking like it's in the future.
So that's why you see China and the cities look like they're in the future because they're progressing and they're actually developing.
And people say, well, America, America, this, America, that.
Well, why aren't we progressing if we have the most money, the largest economy?
What's preventing us?
Well, it's an intentional prevention.
It's a potential lack of development that's a conspiracy between our governors and the federal government to keep us satiated.
And I understand that there are like crucial archetypes.
There are parts of storytelling that you get from Don Quixote that kind of revolutionize all of literature.
But I think we could probably be creating new music and new movies and new stories.
And there's directors who do, but these are the directors who probably have a better understanding of what made the old times good and are not just trying to live in the past, but are trying to, you know, make us look at the present and say, hold on, something is really wrong.
You know, some of these cities, like, check this out.
Is there like, can I just see like a skyline here for a second?
So, yeah, so check this out.
So you see like these cities, right?
You have, you can go down here.
Like, you see this sort of development.
This is like one random city, right?
In China.
And you see the development in these cities, right?
And the way that they just like, see how the buildings are lit up.
This is like the future.
The way that they have the cities designed, it's on multiple levels.
See this?
This is literally a cyberpunk.
And a lot of people, you know, that haven't worked or been to China, I'd really like to go to China again soon and just show people like just an experience of what it's like.
You know, that is intentional.
And the reason why I think people don't understand is like, that's why you said that we're booting movies.
All of our shows are about making old music stars, the judges.
When's the last American Idol become famous?
Maybe Benson Boone, but he quit, I'm pretty sure.
So there's not really like a big push.
Things are not new.
So there's nothing new to become.
Even with podcasts, every podcast is literally the freaking same thing.
Everyone's talking about the same thing.
Nobody's talking about something new or different.
And I just want to point out, I do think this level of control is also used to destroy the West.
And the reason why is because every city has become westernized, every major city, including Chinese cities, have become westernized.
Our own architecture, skyscrapers, it makes people think that there's a universal global culture.
That universal global culture is American culture.
The skyscraper is American.
Okay.
That is an American, maybe not invention by architectural standards, but at least of normalization, right?
New York used to be the only place that had skyscrapers to such a proliferation.
And so the skyscraper is a white American, you know, staples.
So it's like, and in some ways, America is the best, but it's also like because we're the most powerful, but then that also kind of sucks because we're kind of making things worse.
I'll branch out, by the way, to the boomer conservatives who are with us.
You know, I think we can all actually agree on this.
You know, the things that made capitalism and American innovation cool, we just don't have those anymore.
The capitalism that exists today is this consumerism that didn't exist when this age of innovation was occurring in the United States.
You know, this development that we saw, these amazing things that, like you said, Elijah, have become staples in the entire world are not, you know, this trend has not continued.
Something fundamental has shifted in the way that capitalism works on a global scale and the way the United States exists and what it represents that should make us think twice about supporting it blindly.
What no one talks about, and this is where I will sound like I'm a Chinese propagandist, but this is the real issue with America.
It's not that life isn't great here.
It's not that we aren't the best country in the world.
I've lived and worked everywhere.
We are the best country to live, but if you make a lot of money, it is the best country to live if you're in an upper middle class threshold lifestyle because of the decreasing purchasing power of a dollar.
What do I mean by that?
So, China has more middle class people than we have people that live in our country.
Okay, that's correct.
That's crazy to think about.
They have a bigger middle class than our entire nation.
And what is middle class, though?
Their middle class is that they have enough money in the bank that they cannot work for a year to two years and be completely fine.
You think our middle class has any savings?
70% of the United States lives paycheck to paycheck.
And before you think I'm bashing America and I'm like, oh, we suck.
No, what I'm saying is there's a serious corrupt financial capitalist institution in our country.
After we removed ourselves from the gold reserve, after on Jekyll Island, we handed over our power to the Federal Reserve and private family bankers.
We created a system that devalued our dollar.
It's down 99% from its original purchasing power.
Just to remind you, what I mean by that is that if the minimum wage had the same purchasing power as it did when our parents were younger, it would be about, I think I read like $66 an hour, minimum wage, right?
Purchasing power.
So when they say, you know, again, you didn't buy your coffee, it's like, well, you know, imagine you worked at McDonald's and you were making $66 an hour.
Obviously, we know that wouldn't work now because it would cause more inflation, but like that would be the value of what they made.
That's what you're like, how did they make 30 grand as a mechanic at Boeing and own two homes?
Like, well, that's like making 300 grand now in purchasing power.
That's what you have to look at.
You don't look at the money.
It's how much can you purchase for that money?
I will say this.
In China, the purchasing power is a lot higher.
And so even the lower middle class, which by the way is double the size of the U.S. population, they're categorized of having about six months to eight months of salary saved up.
And most of them are lower middle class considers they also own their home.
So like you can go find a poor farmer out there and they own their land and it's like, oh, well, it's communist.
We don't factor in there that in China, you know, if you live in a poor neighborhood, your chances of getting shot or mugged are probably significantly lower than in any poor neighborhood.
And if it's a white community here in the United States, you know, you're and probably you've been fed opiates, you're addicted to drugs because there's a pharmaceutical system that is pushing them onto you.
And if you're in maybe another community where there's a different predominant, you know, racial majority, there is a higher likelihood of crime.
That is just the simple fact.
China, one of the crazy things too, is that China has more honor students than the United States has students.
But then if you apply that maybe to a different place like India, it's like the outcomes are not the same.
There is something very different that is occurring here.
And one of the things I loved was this streamer, Speed.
I show speed.
This guy went to China, does a stream, goes with like the Shaolin monks, is doing like a whole tour, goes to the wall of China.
And it was like this huge just break, this crack in the reality of so many Americans who are watching the stream.
Thousands and thousands of concurrent viewers watching this guy just roam around China.
And what did they see?
Well, hold on.
It's not like some secret police are going to take me and like, you know, take me to some secret lair and torture me like we do in Guantanamo Bay, right?
What they're actually, you know, doing is showing off their culture.
Sure, there were like some people who made some racist comments to speed, but it was because they knew he was a streamer and they were like trying to provoke him.
So, frankly, yeah, the fact that we can kind of shatter these perceptions of the Eastern world and maybe actually hold ourselves to a higher standard, I think that would be good.
If we want the United States to become a global competitor, we have to be honest about the way that other countries are performing.
It is dishonest to say that China is just this like backwards country and everybody there is living under suppression.
It's like, dude, these people are living well.
And if we think that China is like 50 years behind, frankly, we are never going to catch up with them.
Yeah, I think too, kind of going back on the original topic, how we were talking about the cities and the movies.
I think a lot of it's just a form of control.
The reason that they're not allowing to these big architect buildings to be built as far as architectures goes is because they don't want us to feel inspired.
When you go to these places, you see these big buildings, you see these beautiful monuments.
What you want to do is you want more.
You want to grasp more.
And the same thing for the movie industry.
The movie industry has just become political propaganda.
If you go ahead and you look at Disney and all these other people, they're hemorrhaging money daily.
They know that the movies they're putting out are terrible.
They're getting backlash.
I mean, a perfect example is the Snow White that came out.
Snow White, they knew was going to bomb from the beginning, but they went ahead and they continued it anyway because they wanted to push the message.
So it's sad, as you mentioned, that when we think of China, we think of this like terrible place where they're under, you know, being.
So the problem is it's always going to be attacked.
The one thing that the government wants to do is they want to take away your freedoms.
They want to suppress you.
They want to silence you.
A perfect example is that kid with the shirt, as we've seen earlier.
Another way to see it is right now in college campuses.
You know, I don't believe in obstruction of campuses.
I don't believe that people should be destroying property or hurting anybody, but in the you should be allowed to protest.
You should be allowed to, you know, speak freely.
And even Harvard now, with how they're being attacked by the Trump administration, they say it's because of the DEI policies, but a lot of it has to do is because they want to go ahead and silence people from talking about a certain majority, even going to the point where you're screening their Instagrams before they can even be accepted into the country because you want to make sure that they didn't speak against Israel.
You know, how have we gotten to a point as a country where we're protecting foreign countries over ourselves?
Like, you could talk about anything you want, but don't talk about that.
It's not even just in America, but just in the West in general, it's like if we had true, real political freedom, you would be able to be far right and be accepted in society, just like the far left is, but you can't.
I respect it because the way that Z and the modern Communist Party have been able to detach themselves from the actual tenets of communism, just like people get confused hearing, they go, well, it's called the Chinese Communist Party.
So it's communist.
It's like hearing National Socialists and thinking that they were like, that's socialism, right?
When they were fighting socialists.
So, look, they have borrowed a lot of capitalist tenants in terms of economic movement and growth.
So I do respect the way they've pulled people out of poverty, the way they've modernized the country.
But having worked there, no, we do have a lot of freedom.
There is an oppressive sense.
The reason why I don't want to live there is because I just said it is the best place to live.
America is.
It is the best country to be in.
I'm just saying that you have to ask yourselves, why if we have a bigger economy than China and they have more people, if we have like a fourth of the people, a fifth of the people, but a bigger economy, that would mean we have more income generated per capita than China by like 500%.
So why is the quality of life for the individual not better?
It's because we are in a technocratic, feudalistic cronyism, not a true capitalist system that works on behalf of the actual nation.
And people confuse it with glazing or with protecting China.
That's not what I'm doing when I make these statements.
What I'm saying directly is that China is objectively a worse place to live.
So why if politically speaking it's oppressive, it is also extremely dangerous in terms of like when you're there, you cannot access outside Western websites, not even using a VPN.
And they do detect and they do have IP tracing and they will actually lower your credit system and they'll restrict you from leaving even to put you in jail.
It's happened to friends of mine.
I didn't want to work there.
It happened to people I worked with.
It's a real serious threat.
And I got threatened by the government there because I accessed foreign websites.
I'm just making the point that when boomers try to say that we have all this freedom in America and it's awesome.
We have all this freedom in the West.
That's what makes it so great.
unidentified
It's like, okay, but stop pretending that we actually have that because obviously we have freedom of speech to comparatively, yeah, comparatively, but we really don't have that.
The main thing that I think he's trying to point out is just the fact that you can see the cities, the subways, and all the advancements that they're making while we're sitting here and we're stuck at a plateau where we're not growing at all.
You know, what we're doing is we're just crumbling from the inside.
We see it.
You know, we see our streets flooded with destruction.
We see our streets flooded with homeless.
Indians.
And yeah, that as well.
You know, the best way, you know, another way, a video I seen the other day is just even to mention the subways, as I just said.
You know, if you put the subways side by side, our subways, you know, thank God we got people like Daniel Perry, but our subways are just destroyed.
Graffiti everywhere.
Rats in New York, the size of like, but yeah, we're like a third world country, but yet we have all this money.
We have all this income.
We have all these brilliant minds, but yet we seem to be stagnant and staying in the world.
But that's the point is I'm trying to explain this, though.
So for people that don't get this that are new to this from working there and being around there is the point of this is saying what the boomers do and what our country does is we actually are the best place to live.
So they go, isn't this enough for you?
It's like, yeah, well, you have, you have more freedom than basically any country in the world in terms of freedom of speech.
But at the same time, they take advantage of that and go, so then how much can we limit this?
Oh, well, we're making, we have the biggest economy in the world, but is that translating to quality of life increase?
The point is the corruption is taking the good things we have and they're limiting it beyond what we are supposed to be experiencing.
So we do have freedom of speech.
It should be much broader.
There should be less restrictions.
We should have a much freer society than we do.
But yes, objectively, we are better than China in that area.
But economically speaking, we even have a better system than China.
What I'm trying to say is that we are generating more wealth, but it is being siphoned off into corrupt billionaires' pockets.
It sounds left, but it's true.
And we ship that money and we rotate it tax-free out of the country.
We don't even have enough tax revenue to pay our own budget.
We're in a massive debt.
They print money through the Federal Reserve, which inflates our dollar.
We lose purchasing power.
And there's an intentional draw to ensure that we do not advance our infrastructure so that we retain a sense that we're in a constant state of development so that we don't fight our own government.
My point is, is that it's like saying, well, we have the most gun rights.
We have the right to bear arms.
Yet when you go to New York, you can't carry a firearm.
Why?
Why does New York have the ability to override God's family?
Yeah, I think, look, the major disconnect here is that they're black people, by the way.
And and what I think Sarah is also pointing out, many see is, well, hold on.
If these principles of freedom, if the Constitution is something that can, that is supposed to be the best way to order a society, if the Constitution is, as many posit, divinely inspired, which I believe, there's a disconnect between that truth that we are still guided by the Constitution, because it does still exist, and the reality in the country today.
And so a lot of people will think, well, it must be that we aren't actually truly free.
I don't think that's necessarily the case.
I just think that our understanding of where we derive that freedom from has changed so significantly that we are now allowing those principles in a warped fashion to continue to govern our lives in a way that is that is ultimately not what the founding fathers set out to do.
The freedom of religion.
This is something that was understood one way by the founding fathers and is now being practiced a different way by the country at large.
It's not that the freedom has disappeared.
It's that when we say it, the people in this country think that it's freedom from religion.
They don't think it is the freedom of people to practice religion in a way that is conducive to a coherent and to a stable society.
That's what it is.
It's the way the terms have changed.
It's the same way that being a conservative now means limited government, when etymologically, that doesn't even make any sense.
Yeah, the right wing will agree because the right wing is willing to allow those words to mean things that they don't mean.
The left will rewrite the definitions.
The right wing goes along with it.
And at the end of the day, you know, you can't tell a right-winger that, you know, you're less free because, well, actually, the states do have a right.
Well, actually, it's the freedom of the states to infringe on the Second Amendment.
You could get people to believe that, even though a right-winger in his gut knows, well, hold on, you're infringing on my freedom.
Shadow Fast, Chacoba Lawrence sent a $5 super chat.
I think for that, we'll just give a little horn for the $5 super chats.
There you go.
$5 super chat.
Nobody expects the truth and reconciliation, not Monty Python, by the way.
Reminding you can send super chats on YouTube starting today.
This is huge.
It's been years since we've been able to get super chats.
And we have over 100 people watching on YouTube, which sounds small, but considering the fact that that's almost about what we get on a channel of 500,000, dude, I'm not joking.
It's like we have 30,000, we get 100,000 and then on a channel of 500,000, we get like 298,000.
So that's crazy, right?
Isn't that crazy?
So we're happy to have you here.
And thank you.
If you guys share your super chats, we will be reading them on air.
And also, Telepathic Dragon did put a rant, said first time rant, at least America has more freedom than the Communist Republic of Canada.
You have red states, which we all have in Alberta.
I was just going to say, like, you know, we don't have, I wouldn't say we have absolute freedom of speech in America when you think of how they always say freedom of consequences.
Like, you really can't say whatever you want because you'll get fired from your job.
By the way, ask somebody, what is the actual like functional difference between infringing on the freedom of speech by throwing somebody in jail who says something and allowing somebody their freedom of speech, but basically allowing them to be killed publicly if they say something wrong.
But we are allowing these private corporations to redefine what the First Amendment actually means in order to prohibit the speech that they don't like on their platforms.
But I will say, America is definitely the best Western country when it comes to that because, I mean, you go to Germany and like we were talking about earlier, they're literally shutting down or not shutting down, but they're starting to monitor the AFD party.
So that's a legitimate political party and they're trying to stop them from being able to.
All right, I want to make sure in the last couple of minutes here that we are able to switch.
It's a good conversation.
We're going to talk more about this tomorrow.
We get the same crew on tomorrow.
Then, to remind you guys, Sarah and I will be out on Thursday.
And so, I think Hennessy will be in the producer chair on Thursday.
Mendoza is hosting the show.
Earl will be on.
And then we'll have possibly Joey will be on after he is creped.
But that being said, we don't know who else will be on.
Somebody else will be on.
It'll be a different crew, but I think they'll be going shorter from like seven to eight.
Oh, five.
And then at eight o'clock, you guys can switch over to Tim Poole to watch us.
We're not going to try to compete with him on that level.
It is cool, though, by the way, that we retain always.
We're having better live viewership on this show than we had on any of our other shows across the board.
So this is a good move.
And I'm happy that we're a little bit earlier.
It feels nice.
I want to make sure we get into our third topic, which we're going to try to cover every time, which, of course, is some updates in entertainment.
Let's go ahead and let's talk about what's going on in film, the world, and in our economy, because honestly, people say they don't care what happens in Hollywood, but what happens in Hollywood is what the world sees us as.
So it's important to maintain and understand what's going on because that is what America is to the world.
That is our foreign relations.
That, and of course, our favorite country, which is America in the Middle East, Israel, are the only things people see when they see our country.
But again, another, it's another Western cultural icon.
Obviously, this is British, but it's a cultural icon.
It's something that we know and we love.
These characters are solidified.
We see another, you know, murdering of this stuff, whether you had the Dune series, by the way.
I don't know if you ever saw, I watched one episode of that, turned it off.
It was absolutely crazy of like black aliens and it made no sense.
Then, of course, what's crazy too is we'll talk about something I would talk about about the desecration of Lord of the Rings, but they have to replace people with brown people and black people.
Now, a lot of people see this and they said there's no problem with this.
There's no issue with this.
I'll tell you on just the outside of my main issue with this is Hermoni, Hermione.
I want to bring up a really, really important thing.
We won't watch the whole 20-minute video.
We won't watch any of it.
I watched this video about the original casting for Lord of the Rings.
And I watched this, the head of casting for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
This girl, they go, so what was it like casting the dwarf?
I mean, the elves.
She goes, oh, it was so hard because, you know, Tolkien basically described the elves as like white supermodels.
So we had to have, like, she goes, it took like a year to just cast the elves because, like they had to be like supermodel, so they didn't have a cheek structure and like like meaning people used to put time into this very ignored to representing, to representing what the author intended.
She was like it was so hard because, like they spent they spent a year just to cast background characters, she said, and they had to waste a ton of the budget because they had to hire supermodels who would have to be paid supermodel i'm not joking supermodel, uh uh, uh salaries to appear in the background of Lord Of The Rings.
So they had to, they had, they had to take money from the previous videos and just pour millions of dollars into casting the elves because no supermodels were going to show up on a show for like 50 bucks a day.
That's how, how seriously they took getting it right.
And now they're like oh, she was brown in the sun brown brown Mexican, her money was Mexican, and then they just put her on the screen.
It's, it's like it.
This is so many levels of laziness, of lack of authenticity, and it's a reminder that like hey, if they're lying about our own characters and books we can read today.
What other books are they lying to us?
From what other events in history are they not telling us the truth?
And who?
Who really were the people of history?
And are they telling us the truth about all of them?
Yeah, definitely not telling us truth, as far as Little.
The Ring goes, too.
They came out with the show and when the show came out, they went ahead and made sure that I believe one of the elves was black.
Uh hell yeah so yeah, so was the.
Uh, the dwarves, you know that was in it.
So they kind of switched up the characters and changed the ethnicity.
But this is something we see time and time again.
I mean, we've seen it on uh, the Little Mermaid.
Um, you know the.
The list just goes on and on of how they go ahead and they change these characters.
It's funny.
They really don't ever change the villains into a certain thing, and I always say, they'll never change Tarzan into this but um yeah, I think that I I, they do that.
Okay, maybe we'll have some peace um, but yeah, it's just, it's this agenda that they're putting out.
It's like everybody has to be a dark complexion.
They take the main characters, or their eyes, have to be spaced out all the way to the side.
It looks like by, I don't know if this casting photo is supposed to represent like the kind of way the show is going to be.
I actually don't know much about it.
If it's going to be like, if they're trying to represent, you know, the English kind of Harry Potter, like in the years that Harry Potter was produced, that's one thing.
But it's another thing if you know they're casting it in the modern day.
If that's the case, I actually side with, I'm going to cite Sarah as the person I'm citing with.
I side with Sarah, which is that, you know, it is not terribly inaccurate to portray, you know, a more diverse cast because it is more true to the reality.
Whatever your idea or whatever the opinion is of that reality, it is more true to the reality in the United States, in England, especially.
But I think something is really funny.
I just found this screen rant, you know, comparison of how the caption is: How HBO's new Harry Ron and Hermione actors compare to the original Harry Potter's movie cast.
If you want to throw that up, we can do this as well.
If we scroll down and we get to the part, you've got, I love this.
You get the first one, and it talks about the new character and Daniel Radcliffe.
It says, well, you know, Daniel Radcliffe was in your perfect match.
And is this here or going down more?
Yeah, a little down.
You've got this, and you add, well, how do they compare?
You know, you've got this new actor.
How does he compare with our boy Daniel Radcliffe?
Eventually, if you keep scrolling down, you get to the comparison with Hermione.
And this is how the Harry Potter shows Arabella Stanton compares to Emma Watson.
And it says, Hermione Granger is described as having very bushy, curly brown hair and rather large front teeth.
Magically shrunk in the Harry Potter books later on.
Okay, aside from this, the Harry Potter books didn't spend nearly as much time focused on Hermione's physical traits as they did Harry's or even Ron's.
Well, it seems like there's one physical trait that is mentioned at least four times throughout the series that isn't mentioned here.
And then they just skip right to, well, Emma Watson was a slam dunk.
And then later on, it says, yeah, it seems that Arabella Stanton seems to be another fantastic fit.
Her dark brown hair appears to be naturally wavy.
Yeah, just right under there.
Yeah, this paragraph.
She seems to just be a fantastic fit.
There's kind of a crucial difference.
Like there is some, you know, very obvious visual difference between Emma Watson and the new actress.
And by the way, I don't want to talk about too much other than this.
I just want to mention a couple small things.
So I'll save some of the stuff for tomorrow that we'll talk about with the modern church.
Just one sad thing to mention before we end here.
It'll probably ask me to, I can't even show it, but Phil Robinson, the father on Duck Dynasty, did die two days ago.
And his sons put out his last words that he said.
You can guess we'll find that out tomorrow.
But I do actually do want to mention one thing with entertainment.
I thought we'd start covering a little bit of the modern church on the entertainment section because it has become a bit of an entertainment gathering.
I saw this service at an evangelical church and it was honestly impressive.
Like sometimes I talk about the fact that I posted a lot of posts blasting evangelical forms of Christianity.
I am evangelical.
That's what I've described myself as.
That should show you a lot about how far Christianity's fallen.
I mean, that's who I am, right?
At least I'm honest with myself.
And a lot of evangelicals aren't that I don't fully understand how to be and practice the teachings of Jesus Christ in all things.
And mostly when it comes to, you know, mortal sins, right?
You know, of the body.
However, I have been waking up and realizing, like, you know, there's got to be something more.
Then I saw this clip from a production at an evangelical church.
I was probably saying like really poorly in Spanish trying to communicate just how offended I was by this.
But that's the same thing.
It's like, dude, how are you going to tell an actor, okay, so you need to portray the son of man.
You have to portray Jesus the Christ.
What you're going to do is you're going to, you're going to put on the robe.
You're going to look like him.
You're going to try to act like him.
And when the drums go off and when the fire shoots out from the sides of the stave of the stage, you're going to think, you're going to imagine you're like a rock star going to walk out and look at the people.
That's what we're rooting for.
That's crazy.
And it goes against everything, by the way, that Jesus was in his ministry.
This is a guy who told us about the importance of casting off worldly wealth.
It told us about the importance of being minimalist, not worrying about what we were to eat, what we were to dress ourselves with.
He was somebody who absolutely, and a lot of people will minimize this, but he was actually very critical of an overt showing of wealth.
I mean, really, that's what a lot of the churches turn into.
They have a show, too.
It's called like The Righteous Gemstones.
And unfortunately, it's on HBO because we talked about that before.
But it also makes fun of how the modern church is.
We've stepped so far away from spreading God's word, you know, sharing the gospel to the point where it's like you have the smoke machines.
You have people we even showed one time on another show we had where they're coming in on roller coasters, you know, and they're just not diving into the word.
They're not nourishing the soul with the, you know, with God's words.
Yeah, I'm not saying like they're not genuine Christians, but just like the service itself, it just feels so much less authentic to me.
And it is more entertaining.
I will say, like, I am entertained.
It's like very stimulating and everything.
And then you go to a Catholic church and it's not really the same level of like mental stimulation that we're used to because we're all like on our phones all the time, getting the stimulation all the time.
But I like it more because it's like not meant to be entertaining.
So it gives you space to actually contemplate and focus.
So to remind you guys, though, because we are just slowly rolling in the ads for the show, don't forget you can support us directly by grabbing the beef tallow with honey bomb.
This is a natural moisturizer for your face, for your body.
It's a knee grow and your shoulder grow and your elbow grow.
But the best part is, is that this stuff is amazing.
It's all natural.
It comes in a natural container.
Plus all the products they have are the products you use every day, but without all the toxic chemicals.
Things I can't even pronounce, by the way.
We even have like, we're trying to say phthalates and different things.
So many things are so complicated.
This is simple ingredients, natural ingredients direct to your door.
Make sure that you pick up either their toothpowder, their deodorant, their soap.

We are going to try to make sure that people ask me, is there going to be exclusive content?
Yeah.
So in the future, the 30 minutes of the show, the last 30 minutes will be behind the paywall only.
This is actually kind of a cool thing, too.
Fridays are casual Fridays.
So that's going to be really cool.
So we're going to try to make sure we keep the presentation of ourselves up.
But on Fridays, it's just going to be like dress whatever you want.

Go to Mike Mendoza JPG on, and he'll be on tomorrow.
We'll have it set up.
Again, just so you guys know, though, tomorrow, because I don't want you guys to get confused, tomorrow's show will be pre-taped.
And so if you guys send super chats tomorrow, if you send super chats tomorrow, they'll read them on Thursday.
So that's just to say it is going to be pre-taped tomorrow because we're going out of town.
So I just kind of want to clarify that now before we get accused of taking your super chats.
Tomorrow will be pre-taped.
Thursday will be live again.
Friday, we'll be back.
And Sarah and I will be back in studio.
Kaya is going to be on the last time tomorrow.
