So Israeli officials have informed the Trump administration that Netanyahu may order a strike on Iran, even if a nuclear agreement is reached.
I thought that we were trying to reach diplomacy here.
For some reason, it seems like other people have other ideas in mind about this.
I don't know how big of a fan I am of this.
I don't know how big of a fan some of my guests on the show are tonight of this, but obviously it's a big deal because obviously, you know, we've been trying to make sure that things are, you know, going well enough in the Middle East for a long time now.
And what has it done for us?
It's done nothing but seen people in the military die, you know, billions of money spent.
And I mean, what do we have to show for it?
Afghanistan got taken over by radicals all over again.
It seems like we weren't even there to begin with.
So what's the point of all this?
Why does Israel keep trying to subvert diplomacy in the region?
It seems like they don't actually want to reach a deal.
It seems like they don't actually care about the nuclear program, but who am I?
I'm just a podcaster and I'm filling in tonight for Elijah Schaefer.
Could I get an applause real quick?
I'm filling in for Elijah Schaefer tonight because he is in not Washington, D.C., but in the nearby surrounding metropolitan region.
He will be on the Timcast IRL show tonight with the great Sarah Stock, the indomitable, undefeated Sarah Stock in debates.
She is undefeated in debates, actually, at this point.
Sarah Stock.
So we're only going to be here for an hour.
I have my guest coming in very soon here.
She's on the way.
And you know how women are with time.
They're not so great with it.
They're not so great with it.
But we'll be doing a short show tonight, a shorter show tonight.
And then Elijah will be back with you guys tomorrow.
So, you know, don't worry.
You won't have me for too long.
You'll only have to put up with me for an hour.
And then you can go to Timcast to watch Sarah Stock and Tim Cat and Timpool and Elijah Schaefer on there.
So for now, let's just get right into the show.
You're watching The Rift on Rift TV.
What's going on?
That was a little abrupt, but what's going on?
My name is Mike Mendoza.
I'm filling in for Elijah Schaefer tonight.
As I mentioned before, he's at Timpool at the Beanie Compound, as some people would call it.
It's kind of like a modern version of Rob Deerdeck's Fantasy Factory.
They have skee-ball, they have pipes, they have bean bags, they have bongs, they have all kinds of stuff going on there.
So yeah, let's just get right into it.
But before we do that, I'm going to introduce my guest tonight.
As I mentioned before, we have one guest who's running a little bit late.
Like I said, you know, you can't fault women for being late.
It's just kind of just in their nature.
For now, I will introduce our assistant producer, a good friend of the show, a common reoccurring co-host who's on the show, the great Michael Hennessy of A One Snowflake News.
So anyway, but let's just get straight into this first story.
And the first story here is that Israeli officials have informed the Trump administration that Netanyahu may order a strike on Iran, even if a nuclear agreement is reached.
If you could pull up on the screen real quick.
And yeah, Netanyahu just seems intent on dragging America into a regional war with Iran despite Trump's best efforts.
Now, you know, I talked about this a little bit in the intro, but it doesn't seem like actual diplomacy is trying to be achieved here.
That's not the intention at all, because if it was, I mean, Israel would be able to live alongside their neighbors, but it does seem like there's an ulterior motive.
Maybe there, and you know, I think some people who are a little bit more naive about the situation, they always say, why can't we just all like, why can't we all just get along?
Why can't we have peace in the Middle East?
I mean, you know, part of it is religious.
I think there's a little bit more to it than that.
But I think that once it comes down to people with religious convictions that feel like they're owed the land because they were promised it thousands of years ago, well, obviously there's like, you know, no amount of diplomacy or meetings in Dubai or meetings in Italy, wherever they've been like hosting all these conferences at to try and come to a solution.
I don't think there's going to be any kind of solution here because Israel is hell-bent on taking that entire region, much as we've seen with Syria and these other big countries in the Middle East.
They just want that region because they want to make sure that all their enemies are just utterly vanquished and they want to rule the world from Jerusalem.
I mean, maybe it's a little bit too esoteric for some people, but it is what's going on.
I mean, like, obviously, like, you know, just from a geopolitical standpoint, just from just from a geopolitical standpoint, it does serve their best interest.
They see everyone around them as out to kill them, even though we've kind of seen the inverse of what's happening.
Yeah, but it's like Israel has a right to defend its borders, you know, and when this paragliders coming over, people with go-karts, they have a right to defend themselves.
So I'm going to push back on what you said there.
And I think, you know, they honestly just retaliating.
No, but Well, so also we have some video of Mark Arubio, which, you know, Mark Arubio is from Florida, Japan.
And obviously, there's a lot of special interests that operate out of Florida.
Let's see if he has a base or a Red Pills.
Yeah, let's see if he has a balanced take on his interests or I mean on this issue or if he has some interests that maybe lie with his donors.
Let's check it out.

Under President Trump, the United States will stand with the Jewish people.
We have implemented a vigorous new visa policy that will prevent foreign nationals from coming to the United States to foment hatred against our Jewish community.
We are holding international organizations and nations accountable for rhetoric against Israel that resurfaces in the manifesto of monsters like Iran and Sarah's killer.
But we do see an eventual light at the end of this long tunnel of suffering.
One can imagine a Middle East in which the Abraham Accords eventually reign.
No, I mean, you know, Netanyahu and the Israeli government, they're not going to be happy until they take over all the bordering lands.
Anybody who's a neighbor to them, they're not going to be happy till they have full control.
And not only do they want to take full control, they want to force us into endless wars and want us to go ahead and give our sons, our daughters, you know, to make the sacrifice for them.
And I'm sick and tired of that.
I'm sick and tired of Mark Rubio.
I'm sick and tired of the Trump administration backing all this nonsense that's coming through with them, you know, even to the point now where they're checking people's Instagrams before allowing them to come into our country to see if that they've talked bad about Israel, you know, which we mentioned on another show where it's like you could talk about any country you want, but you can't talk about Israel.
And just really quickly, just again to super chat, since we're not going to have a lot of time to get into super chats tonight, normally what we're trying to do now is we're trying to have a whole portion at the end of the show for the last 15 minutes.
We go over the super chats since we're a little pressed on time tonight.
And then hopefully everyone will be going over to Timcast after this.
I'll also be bringing super chats as they come in.
I am, I guess I could classify myself as a conservative activist.
And I work in advertising, conservative advertising.
So I work with plethora of different networks and really ingrained in the conservative broadcast.
But the biggest thing that the right needs is funding.
So that's what I do.
I make sure that my friends and people that I like that put out content that I like, they have the funding they need in order to continue doing good things.
And by that, we mean talking about the Ethiopians or the Democrats because obviously they don't allow people to talk about them.
But anyway, back into so lead stories tonight, just to kind of recap.
We're talking about how Israel just really doesn't have much interest in actual diplomacy.
It seems like they're trying to do everything they can to sabotage any actual efforts at diplomacy, even though America, you know, represented by the people in this room, don't want to go into wars.
We have all kind of recognized for a long time, even since the first administration of Trump, that people are anti-war now.
At first, it was more of a liberal position.
Now it's more of like a right-wing position, I would say, because I mean, even liberals and leftists are pro the Ukraine war.
So that's kind of what we're talking about right now, just kind of catch up to speed and everything.
But I don't know if you have any opinions on what's been going on with the diplomacy and the sabotaging of diplomacy throughout the last couple of weeks now.
I mean, you know, a lot of people have been warning that potentially that when Trump got in, Trump would do the bidding of his donors and then try to go to war in Iran, because even as this last super chat, we just got to, that according to a clean break, which I think was a memorandum that was written by Project for a New American Century, which is a Zionist organization, they wanted to make sure that all the countries surrounding Israel were taken out.
And now the last country on the list is Iran.
So is this all just conspiracy theory or are we onto something here?
And does Israel actually not care about diplomacy?
They just care about controlling the entire region.
And I'm not sure if I should say this on YouTube, but however, there are a lot of questions surrounding October 7th based on the security of IDF and the fact that you can't get a cockroach across that fence or that wall that they have built unless they see it.
They see everything.
They know everything that's going on.
You can't tell me that October 7th wasn't pre-orchestrated in order to get their war with Iran.
I think that's what they always wanted.
And they will do anything it takes to get what they want.
And whether that is sabotaging alliances with the United States, whether that is plunging your people and the world into World War III, they do not care.
They are just continuing to expand and expand, take territory.
And I think Donald Trump, what it was, what they did, what Netanyahu did was he really disrespected him.
And that's something that Trump is not going to appreciate or take lightly.
I think that Trump has been pushing for negotiations, diplomacy, and peace, and Israel kind of stepping outside of that and really showing disrespect towards him.
I think that I think that it's going to get Donald Trump is going to be, you're going to see less placating and more aggressive.
If you take it off the screen real quick, intern, please.
But, you know, one can only hope.
Also, could you close the door too?
Thanks.
One can only hope that that's actually what's going to happen.
But I will say what some people have pointed out with Trump is that even when Trump was confronted about some of his meetings with Netanyahu, because they've been putting a lot of these stories into the media and they do what's called a whisper campaign, where no one actually comes out and says, oh, this is what's going on.
That's what's going on.
But there's a lot of unconfirmed rumors flying around.
And recently, this unconfirmed rumor, I guess, was that Trump and Netanyahu had a very tense conversation.
It's always what.
It's never in public.
I mean, he'll confront Zelensky to his faith or the president or the prime minister of South Africa.
He'll confront all these other people.
But once it comes to Netanyahu, once he was pressed about, he said, well, you know, I just told Netanyahu that it would be inappropriate for him, for Israel to strike Iran, which is crazy to think about, oh, yeah, if a country that we're currently trying to conduct diplomacy with strikes another country, that's just inappropriate.
I think it's a little bit more than inappropriate.
Maybe that's just me.
But also what you're talking about with October 7th.
And I think we can talk about October 7th on YouTube.
I mean, even Charlie Kirk was saying that he thought it was like that it was iffy.
But that reminds me of when we were, if you could bring it up on screen real quick, that reminds me of when we were at, I think it was the Reawaken Tour.
And then we actually came across a woman, an Orthodox Jewish woman, who she was a big anti-abortion person.
Both the IDF and the Israeli Air Force both stood down for seven hours.
You won't believe what a Jewish charity leader told me today.
unidentified
Israel has the most sophisticated intelligence in the world.
There was no way the government didn't know that that was going to happen.
We're friendly with several good people in Israel.
One is Rabbi Hanania Weissman.
He knows a lot of people in Israel.
He knows confidential sources that he shared with us their information about the standdown order.
And he sent out a missive that indeed the IDF was given stand down orders, both the Army and the Air Force, seven hours to stand down while those attacks took place.
And this allowed the terrorists to come in and begin slaughtering and torturing the citizens.
Personally, I think that this situation is akin to a family keeping a rabbit dog in their home and then blaming the dog when the baby gets bitten.
The parents needed to remove the dog many, many, many weeks ago, right?
Before the dog had a chance to injure somebody in the family.
So I look at the government of Israel and they really needed to make sure that these people did not proliferate on their borders.
And so they are held partially accountable for having to now go kill God's creations in order to secure their border.
So at the time, I mean, I guess, yeah, this was more controversial at the time.
But I mean, and maybe even not then, because I mean, people like Charlie Kirk, who is very pro-Israel, I mean, he even keeps the Sabbath, was going out there and saying, and, you know, I don't want to belabor this point too much, but I mean, obviously that was used, October 7th was used as a pretense to be able to take out Hezbollah and then to venture further into Iran.
And it just seems like everything about this whole situation has just been as I think the term is Hezbara.
Like it's like a term that the Mossad uses because it's kind of just a propaganda campaign that they use to get people on their side, much like how we saw with other wars in the past, like with Iraq and same reasons why we got to those wars.
And, you know, as I mentioned before, since we're a little short on time tonight, I will be reading all the super chats as they come through.
And then we got another super chat from Ian Whiskey Tango Fox.
If you would hit the applause for them real quick, because it's $10.
It's much appreciated whenever we get any kind of super chats.
But he said, I'm a vet deployed to both IRQ, which is, I guess, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and AFG, which I'm assuming is, or I'm assuming he's just saying Iraq and Afghanistan there.
He says, I realized that I was in service of, or no, I realized I was in service of the government and not my country.
Our government serves Israel.
Cui bono for the war on terror, not us, not us.
I'm not sure what he was saying at the end there.
But I mean, yes, I mean, so and, you know, sometimes I know I've kind of told you some more hot takes I have about the military, which I'm not going to get into right now.
But, you know, I believe these people are brave.
They have the best interests at heart.
You know, they want to like, you know, they want to protect their family and friends at home.
If they were misled, it's not their fault.
And, you know, I mean, it's still up for a debate, I guess.
So now they are actively recruiting white men who have over the last few years woken up to, I'm not going to die for something that isn't serving my country.
If you're sending people to the border to protect our people, yeah, okay.
If you're waging war with the cartels, those are real threats that are here now.
But you can't tell me that a conflict going on 2,000 to 3,000 miles away has anything to do to affect me.
Even like pretty much everything comes down to immigration.
You know, even 9-11, when you think about it, it was people here on expired visas.
So a kind of shocking story from Axios yesterday emerged that suggested that President Trump had cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call last week not to take any action that could jeopardize negotiations between the United States and Iran on a new nuclear deal.
Okay, so first of all, I have a question.
Israel is not involved in those negotiations.
So why should Israel hold off?
Real question.
Israel is the country most under threat from Iran, not the United States.
Okay, so if we're going to take the full scale JD Van's isolationist realist position, shouldn't the United States just sort of wash his hands and walk away and say, whatever happens, happens?
But I noticed that's not what's happening.
Instead, the so-called restrainers inside the administration, they're not attempting to restrain the United States, which is already restrained.
I promise you, my 100% certitude is that President Trump is not going to authorize a bombing raid on the Iranian nuclear facilities.
Whether or not we should, I don't think it's going to happen.
Okay.
That's just the reality.
So why is the restrainer team inside the Trump administration trying to stop Israel from doing that thing?
Why?
With what bad deal?
Iran keeps saying openly they will not stop enrichment.
And yet the United States is so desperate for a deal, what, for the sake of a deal?
The Iranians know this, which is why they're pushing.
And so when Trump warns Netanyahu not to go and do anything about Iran, just trust us.
Okay, listen, I will trust that President Trump will cut a good deal if he continues to maintain the Trump 1.0 stance, which is no nuclear enrichment at all, no nuclear facilities at all.
That was something that three weeks ago, the Trump administration was saying.
President Trump himself, again, I'm with Trump 1.0 on this, not Steve Witkoff and JD Vance 2.0.
Donald Trump 1.0 killed Qasem Soleimani, destroyed the Iranian economy and held them in check.
Then Joe Biden came in, reversed a bunch of that stuff, and you got October 7th and a vast regional war.
Why wouldn't we just go back to Trump 1.0?
That is the foreign policy that actually shaped the Abraham Accords.
Why is that not the thing?
Instead of calling the prime minister of Israel and telling him he needs to restrain himself on Iran.
Okay, so it seems like we're literally back to remember a good Trump, bad Trump, when he kind of had to switch his position because he was anti-Trump before.
He was anti-Trump before.
And then he had to come out and start being like, well, I like Trump on some things and some things he's good on and some things he's bad and whatever.
Now we're switching back to that.
And I mean, you would think for a company that's hemorrhaging money that's failing fast and very publicly that they would maybe kind of dial back their own extremist rhetoric when it comes to this stuff.
But they just have, you know, I think they have a word for it.
It's called chutzpah.
They have a word for it that like, you know, they're just so proud.
And, you know, that's not proud in the good way, but they have so much pride that they can't even dial it back for one second.
They have to go mask off and they have to say, hey, you know, we know that most of our viewers, our viewership doesn't want war, but, you know, because it's not, it's not serving the best interests of a country two, three thousand miles away, which is not his homeland, but it's, it's a place he has great affinity for and he feels and he feels connected to because of that.
I'm still going to go against what everyone else thinks just because they have so much pride.
And speaking of America first, we got another super chat from the great Homer Jay Fuentes.
We can get Air Horns applause and the confetti for this one.
They're really putting the intern to work tonight.
So we appreciate you, Homer Jay Fuentes.
Homer Jay Fuentes says America first.
So we appreciate that.
But yeah, I mean, I do think that he is using, like, it's a bit of like a fear-mongering phrase, like isolationist is supposed to be a bad thing.
I mean, like, 100, 200 years ago, every country was isolationist.
It wasn't until globalism.
It wasn't until after the French Revolution, after, you know, we kind of had this descent into liberalism.
I mean, you know, I mean, even some of our parents like weren't raised in such a multicultural society where they were like, where they had to care about what people on the other side of the world thought about them because they were coming into their backyard like how they are now.
I mean, that was how everyone was before.
Everyone was nationalist before because their nation was all they knew.
So obviously, like, they wanted to make sure, and like, you know, just being pragmatic here, you should only want your people or not, not only want your people, but that's, that should be your primary focus.
First, it's your family.
And then after that, it's like your extended family.
And after that, it's the people who live in your neighborhood, your city.
Like, it just, it kind of goes out from where you are located.
It just doesn't make sense.
And then, no, it doesn't make sense.
But like I said before, it's this kutzpa.
It's this pride.
And like I said before, pride will be their downfall.
But anyway, thank you for that, by the way.
On to our next, on to our next story.
This has been a big story making the rounds recently.
And, you know, as we know, James O'Keefe has really been making a comeback with Project Veritas.
I think he's fully back with Project Veritas now, right?
When he did a video recently, I don't know if he's back with Project Veritas, but when he had did a video recently, it actually had the Project Veritas logo behind it.
To be fair, too, Obama did have that one quote where he was like, if I could be president, but just stay in the basement in my pajamas or whatever, and then like run the president, then I would do that.
And, you know, we've had Garrett Ziegler, a friend of ours, on our other show, Almost Series, that you can check out on the same YouTube channel.
And on Rumble, sometimes we'll put up some of the episodes too.
But with Garrett Ziegler on, who is, he's like a savant once it comes to the Biden family, the Biden crime family, as some would say.
And I've never even heard of this guy's name before.
And I've, and, and I've consumed a lot of Garrett's content from Marco Polo.
If you want to look him up, I think it's a Marco Polo 51c3.
So it is kind of crazy that, you know, our, I mean, we just talked about our country being infiltrated by a count or by another country, but not just that, but we have other people, individual actors who are also playing behind the scenes, lobbying for power, vying for maybe their own special interest or whatever.
But it is kind of just scary to know that someone who you've never heard before, who is not elected into a position, a bureaucrat, can have some like such undue power over the people.
And, you know, we talked about the Autopen scandal earlier.
I mean, who knows how many people he got pardoned?
Who knows how many people he got left?
Who knows how many business partners of his he tipped off to stock trade, stuff like that?
I mean, there's a lot of implications that come with this.
And, you know, I think people are naive to think that, you know, Trump isn't affected by this same kind of lobbying.
But yeah, like I said before, it's just scary just to think that people behind Joe Biden or that, you know, that there were these shadowy figures behind Joe Biden that were controlling it.
I think Donald Trump is probably the president with the most control ever, probably like in years, since probably JFK era or Lyndon B. Johnson, because it's like you look and see like George Bush, he was a puppet for a bigger agenda, which was something that led us into a 20-year war in the Middle East.
Like his father before that, you have Obama, who led basically the big division, the racial divide in our country.
Maybe he was part of that.
But I think President Trump has, I think he does have people influencing him in his ear.
I know Susie Wiles has abused big influence.
His chief of staff has a big influence on who he picks and nominates for positions and stuff.
However, I think that he probably has the most control over the presidency than another president has in a long time.
So it's funny because I think that Mike and I kind of have some similarities here because yeah, I grew up with a lot of Hispanic and black people too, and the second high school, the the second high school that that I went to was primarily white people.
In my junior senior year.
And one thing, let's go.
One thing, one thing I always noticed was that, you know, in in the Hispanic and Black high school, everyone has to have a fresh haircut, everyone has to have fresh Jordans, everyone has to have a new outfit that matches with whatever shoes they have.
Um, you know, everyone has to have all brand new everything.
And then you go to a white high school and like, white dudes don't cut their hair for like months, I mean I, I mean I get a fade and you get a fade too yeah um, but like white guys don't get their hair cut for months and they'll just wear the same, like beat up Chuck, Taylor suits and stuff yeah, and they'll wear like uh, Hollister or whatever, which I like.
I mean, I guess, if you go to the store, like back where i'm from, they have the outlet or whatever.
But um, you know they they, they didn't care so much about the material things but for some reason the the um, the scholars and scientists, for some reason they're so preoccupied even though they're saying that that that they're constantly being oppressed.
They're always saying that they're oppressed but they're so concerned with how they look to their other high school friends.
I mean, that's kind of crazy and you know, I don't know if you grew up with anything like this, but I mean, what was high school like for you?
Do you see anyone trying to flex on their, on their classmates, like this?
What was the demographics of your school?
Maybe it was not so different, maybe it was different back then.
So I was like in southern Delaware it was majority white, but I did have a black person throw a battery at my head in high school like a double a battery.
Yeah, like all of a sudden, like i'm walking, you know, i'm heading to the cafeteria just minding my own business, all of a sudden a battery, big old battery, flies and I see it out of nowhere and hit me right in the head because they were just like throwing batteries and stuff, but anyway, but even like, there's like a battery fight, like it was like a food fighter battery the white people so interesting, she's like the one black person at the school decided to attack yeah, exactly a little group of them, but they were mean and nasty and kind of like always, like like you, I don't know, it's just like.
I guess it's always been that way.
However, they're a culture of instant gratification.
So yeah, you know, whether it's uh, you see it, uh like they don't think about consequences for action.
Yes hey, if I uh pull a gun on this cop, i'm probably gonna die.
You know, they think i'm gonna just pull a gun on this cop right now, like just because it's what I want to do.
Yeah, like.
Or you know, i'm gonna try and get myself out of this ticket and start screaming and yelling and making a scene because it's what I want to do.
Not think about consequences.
They do the same thing with prom.
Okay, i'm gonna spend twenty thousand dollars on this dress, so I look amazing and I, you know, get all this attention and blah blah, blah.
But the truth is, you know, you uh, you're spending that money.
You're not thinking.
They're thinking instant gratification as a for as opposed to consequences, probably.
Well, I mean, by the way, well, but by the way, like, you like, I mean, I guess that Jehovah's Witnesses are pleasant too, but you meet Kai, and it's just like, maybe there was something to this Mormon thing.
By the way, well, you know, all I have to say is Joseph Smith.
If you're listening, please save me.
Joseph Smith.
Please save me.
But, well, I will say, actually, Sarah Stock, the great Sarah Stock, the undefeated Sarah Stock, for some reason, Earl laughed at that earlier, but she has lost a debate yet.
So she is like the undefeated Sarah Stock right now.
No, you know, they, but it's so stupid because I'm sure they're losing viewers too.
Cause the demographic that watches like zombie and times apocalyptic, it's like us, like conservatives, white conservatives usually watch that kind of stuff.
And they could take note from like The Walking Dead.
So the early Walking Dead show so brilliantly.
Yeah, so good.
It was like kind of wholesome, but also it was really just everything was amazing about it.
And as it became more and more progressive, they lost more and more fans and viewers.
They put a woman as a director.
They removed Robert Kirkman and put an Asian lady.
And that season just bombed.
But we're watching the same thing with The Last of Us where it was pretty good and then it just progressively gets worse and worse.
I should have told you about this, but that episode that they have in the first season where they have just like, it's like a, it, it's not even a gay sex scene.
So, so that was because in the original game, the character Bill, there's like a note that you find where he says, oh, I had like a you know a very dear friend of mine that like I lost or whatever.
So they took that and, like you know, it was kind of implied he was gay, but that was like the extent of it and and maybe someone in the chat can correct me if i'm wrong on that or like give more information on it but they took that and extrapolated that into a whole gay sex episode just based off of that.
Uh, but anyway but um, he referred to somebody as his partner or something right yeah yeah, something like that, which is like okay, that's a bit of a stretch.
I mean, Michael Hennessy is my partner uh, on this show too.
But I mean, I guess that i'm actually not gonna go further with that one, but anyway um, if you bring up my screen real quick um, you know uh, this tweet, uh I thought was interesting.
Yeah well, because she fit, because it was like you know, it's because, and I think in those like in like real life, like in medieval times, like like, there was a lot of inbreeding, especially with like royal family.
So she's what you would expect from an inbred like uh, you know, she was like the queen of the castle or whatever.
It's true, you'd expect that.
But then it's just like you know, last of us actually like, the girl was like uh, she was actually like cute or whatever and like I think that was part of her appeal, but for some reason it's just like they're just, they're just hell bent on making everyone ugly and like uh, I don't know if it's just that people we've talked about it before too at the NEW Spaced EYE thing too, like that's, all these characters that they're coming out with.
And it's like, for instance, like Snow White, Snow White, I think.
Um, the queen was supposed to be jealous of her beauty and the queen was prettier than yeah yeah, I mean Gilgada is is way more attractive than Smashing, than the other one.
Yeah smashing no no, it's stunning actually, but no yes, stunning.
Uh, shout out, Faith Goldie, wherever you are, we have, we have.
We have no idea where you are now, but but a shout out to her, we love you.
And actually I forgot, I haven't even done ads this whole time, so let me just cram some ads in here real quick.
Sorry guys, but I mean you guys love VAN MAN, don't you?
I mean the VAN MAN.
I actually use the stuff at home.
I've been using it for a long time and i've been using it for maybe like two or three years now.
I religiously use the stuff, especially in the Florida heat.
You, you need to have something that's more Moisturizing, something that doesn't have all these weird chemicals in it, like a Neutrogena, try and read the label on Neutrogena.
You won't be able to, not just because you can't read, but just because it's a bunch of these weird chemicals that you can't pronounce.
But this is just beef tallow, honey, and essential oils.
And best of all, they support the show.
Can you imagine that anyone supports the show?
That's kind of unbelievable in itself.
But beef tallow is actually very moisturizing.
I actually personally use the bison tallow.
I wouldn't recommend getting it because I think it's like $100 or something.
This is like $25 or $30, but I want to see what the Bison Tallow was like.
It's a little bit more creamy.
No homo, pause.
It's a little bit more creamy, but I mean, this really just does the trick.
So I don't think you have to go out and buy the bison tallow.
You don't have to have bison tallow money like me.
It's fine.
It's fine if you want to get the regular beef tallow.
But this, it's all just essential oils.
And everything that Vanman uses, they have a tooth powder.
There's no fluoride.
There's no weird chemicals in it.
They also have sunscreen.
Sunscreen is just magnesium and zinc.
It's really just simple stuff to make sure that, and you know, if you're putting stuff on your skin, if you're putting stuff that could potentially get into your bloodstream or get into your mouth, then you want to make sure that's natural and that it's not loaded down with weird chemicals that could be carcinogenic and you could be paying for in the future.
So go to vanman.shop, promo code Elijah for 10% off and you can see more there.
And again, they have tons of different products.
They have metal or aluminum-free deodorant.
They have a ton of stuff and it actually works.
I've used it all before, except for the toothpowder.
I haven't used that yet.
They have all-natural mouthwash.
They have a bunch of things.
So check them out.
Vanman.shop, promo code Elijah for 10% off.
Like I said, they support the show.
So that's the most important thing.
But unfortunately, our time has just about come to a close.
I think, you know, I would actually go to the chat, but I went to the comments on a pre-record we did earlier and it was not so good.
And I'm trying to keep it G-rated.
But also, if anyone in the chat could get the link for Timcast tonight and then drop that in the chat, because obviously we want to make sure that everyone's checking out Elijah and Sarah on Timcast IRL tonight.
So I see you in the chat, Cocto, Drummer Merck, all of our normal people who are normally in the chat.
Third Coast Texas Toast, my guy.
Where is Skittenhund?
I know Skittenhund's probably in here somewhere, but I don't see her.
But shout out to Skittenhund because actually she's a very administrator.
She's watching everything we do all the time.
So also, let me shout one more person.
Oh, Doomsday Cracker, obviously the meme lord himself.
But, you know, sorry that this had to be such a short show.
We'll definitely have you have you back on the show again.
But I guess we'll just be signing off now.
And if you guys can drop the links in the chat.
If people want to follow you, where can they follow you?
Also, like, you know, I mean, now that it seems like censorship is starting back up again, I think people should actually, you know, I was never big into Gab.
But I will say that, you know, just keep your options open because we never know what may happen when, you know, some special interest group tries to pressure the advertisers to shut down a certain platform.
Actually, no, what's funny is that, like, you know, because at the O'Keeffe event, I actually didn't think that people would recognize, because I mean, all he has is like his little avatar on Instagram, because you don't really post your picture ever on Instagram.
So I was surprised people recognized him at Instagram at the O'Keeffe party.
So that's good to know.
It's good to know that we have a tight-knit community of people who support one another.
But again, you know, sorry that it had to be such a short show, but obviously we want you guys to go focus on Elijah.
And this is Sarah Stocks big.
I mean, I mean, she's done Jubilee.
Jubilee is obviously pretty big, but Tim Poole is kind of like the kingmaker once it comes to conservative media nowadays.
So awesome to see her on there.
And, you know, we were talking about this earlier, but some of the commenters about Sarah and Kai, I don't know what's going on there, but it's like, we love Sarah.
We love Kai.
We actually have a great team.
We have Keith Woods writing for us on the website.
And we also may have some other really big names coming aboard soon.
So, and you know, also we got reached out to, and I'll just give a little, you know, behind the scenes baseball right here.
We got reached out to by some investors who I had a meeting with today.
Great people.
And, you know, like my most important thing once I'm meeting with people who, you know, whether they're sponsors or sponsors or investors is that they're aligned with us and that they believe in what we do and that they're never going to tell us what, like, what to say or what to think.
I mean, we're always open to debate.
We're always open to having the conversation.
But I mean, it is feeling good that we are building something that people are gravitating towards and they feel that there is a necessity for.
So I think that's great.
But again, I'm not going to get too much on my soapbox or on my high horse and talk about everything here.
But again, Lauren, great to have you on.
We'll have you on for a longer.
Normally, this show is two and a half hours.
So next time you come on, we can do a lot longer.
And we'll do behind the paywall.
Eventually, we'll be doing that too.
Eventually, we'll have a paywall portion for all of our paid subscribers.
So we'll be doing that soon.
But other than that, I'm Mike Mendoza.
You can follow me on Twitter at Mike Mendoza JPG.
I'm also on Instagram too, but I don't use it as much.
I just use it to look at brain rot memes and tunk tungstah or whatever that meme is.
Let's go.
I know that my intern knew what I was talking about.
So anyway, as I said earlier, I'm still not used to signing off on this show, but I guess, you know, my name is Mike Mendoza.
