Just so you guys know that you're watching The Rift on Rift TV.
So anyway, let's just jump straight into it.
Let's jump straight into it.
So obviously, like I said before, Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, they seem very interested in making sure that we trust the official narrative.
I was actually talking about this with Michael Hennessy earlier.
Of course, we trust the plan.
We also trust the science.
We're just general trusting people.
Maybe, maybe much to our detriment sometimes.
But, you know, we watched that video earlier.
I will say that he does seem to be very sure of himself.
It's almost like when you get caught doing something wrong, you're trying to convince someone that you weren't in the wrong and you're just like desperately trying to cope and trying to make people believe that you're telling the truth.
It does kind of give off that weird energy.
And, you know, obviously me and Hennessy were talking about this on the Gateway Pundit earlier.
You can join us there on the Gateway Pundit.
We also do a show for them.
But we were talking about earlier, and it seems like the intelligence agency kind of threw us a bone with letting Kash Patel, letting Dan Bongino, letting quote unquote our people.
By the way, could you bring the split up too?
By the way, yeah, okay.
So it seems like they were kind of throwing us a bone in that being like, okay, we'll let your guys get in.
We'll let Dan Bongino, the guy who's been ranting about conspiracy theories and everything for the last, and I don't mean that in a, in a negative way, but that's probably just how they see it, how they would address it.
They bring these people into the intelligence agencies.
And now all of a sudden, it's almost like their lives have been threatened.
It's almost like, it's almost like someone, someone's behind the camera behind the curtain holding a gun with one of those silencer things or something.
It just seems very suspicious.
I'm not buying it.
And again, we talked about this earlier.
I'll stop saying that.
But we talked about this earlier.
It seems like they like not that they're just trying to get us to believe in this, but they're really hyper-fixated on the Epstein killing himself thing, not on the flight logs, not on the guest list for Epstein.
Why is it that they're only focusing on making us believe that Epstein killed himself and not the reality of the guest list?
Is it because it's prominent people or is it because it's Diddy Party Times 2?
I mean, I guess technically this would be the original Diddy Party.
I mean, what's the reason?
Why are they not being forthcoming with those things, but they're so desperate to make us believe that Epstein killed himself?
Yeah, I think when they went ahead and they put them in power, the big thing with politics that they do a lot of the times is they'll give you just a little bit to try to make you feel comforted, thinking that you'll stray away from whatever thought process that you had in that current situation.
But it was a big disappointment when you've seen Kash Patel and then you've seen Dan Bongino come out and say that, you know, Epstein didn't kill himself.
Now, I don't know for sure if he did or he didn't, but I do have a lot of questions.
The cameras turning off, just everything aligning up the way it did.
And I believe a lot of it has to do with not even just influential people within our country, but also foreign countries that, you know, we may be partnered with that they're worrying about tearing an alliance or just getting the truth out there.
So I think it even falls kind of more towards like the JFK, the reason we didn't hear the JFK files.
The one thing the CA wanted to protect was Israel.
But it's like it's strange that every aspect of their handling of this Jeffrey Epstein thing from Pam Bondi saying she's going to release the files and releases nothing, releases what was already released.
And, you know, and it keeps moving and moving.
It seems kind of distractionary, but then also at the same time, he does seem very, I guess, adamant about what he's saying.
Maybe, like, you know, it could be that he has seen the stuff and he's changed his mind.
But it is really hard to believe somebody who's been, you know, banging on about it for years saying, well, we, you know, he definitely didn't kill himself and so and so.
And then he's going to come out and say the complete opposite.
So he could be trying to draw back some of what he said in the past.
Also, too, well, I mean, I think when it's people like Prince Andrew, when it's people who are very prominent, I think they're like, there's even some entertainers.
Well, I mean, that, I mean, pardoning Lil Wayne would be a lot better than some of the other people that we've pardoned thus far.
But also to get back to the Epstein thing.
So yeah, so I will say that if I didn't have any, any, any previous knowledge on the situation, like what happened with the influencers or like, you know, or their entanglements with other foreign countries or whatever.
I would think that by the way that Dan Bongino is speaking, like it does seem like, no, dude, just like believe me, like I'm trying to tell you, like, it does seem like he is being sincere.
And, you know, that's not saying that I completely believe him, whatever.
But also, if you pull up my screen real quick, too, Kash Patel kind of had the exact same interaction.
He kind of had that exasperated tone in his voice saying like, no, like, please believe me.
Like, I'm trying to tell you the truth.
But by the way, even if that, even if it is a truth, I mean, like, does it really affect us at all?
Like, I don't think it really, I mean, obviously, like, you don't want people on your side to keep on propagating what's not true.
But, like, I mean, I don't think it's, it matters in the end.
But let's just watch this video and see how Kash Patel handled that same question.
I mean, I really can't make heads or tails of it, but it does just seem very suspicious to me that it's just like, you know, I mean, America's about to go.
I mean, Israel is about to go to war with Iran and they're trying to drag America into it.
But this is supposed to be our main concern that Epstein hung himself from a bunk bed?
Well, I think it's just one piece of a larger puzzle.
So people want to find the answer to that.
They want to find out what happened to Epstein and maybe if we could find out if, say, he was, you know, who did it and just follow kind of that, those connections, the web to bring us to all the moving parts.
But overall, you know, I have to be honest, I'm starting to lose hope in all this.
You know, I think that even though this is supposed to be the administration of transparency, it doesn't seem like we're going to be getting that.
And to have Pam Bonnie, the one leading the way, I mean, she was the same person over here in Palm Beach when Epstein had his court case in Florida.
And all that got swept under the rug.
He was left alone.
And a lot of these people, they knew what was going on.
I mean, there's even an interview with Trump a couple of years back when he was running for president, I believe, the first time.
And he said, you know, wait till people look into Epstein.
Then they're really going to see craziness.
So I believe a lot of these dominant figures.
And I'm not saying Trump was there, but I'm just saying a lot of these people had an idea of what was going on.
So, and this is the final question on the subject, but given what you know about the prison that Jeffrey Epstein was helped in, how would you kill someone in that?
I think the easiest way to do it is to make sure you're going to use something that doesn't show up in the blood, end up sedating him, and then hanging him.
Accomplish the hanging yourself.
Now, that could be done with the help of one or two people.
You could hang him easily.
You can hang him anyplace with the help of one or two people.
But there's even dispute by the outside medical examiner as to whether he was actually hung.
I mean, there's a now, I don't know the answer to that either.
Maybe there's a definitive answer to that, but that question has been raised by an outside report.
So just there are more questions than there are answers, and it shouldn't be that way.
There should be more answers than questions.
And with the two of them saying that, I assume there are answers, but we're just not getting them.
Put out the answers that lead them to the conclusion.
The way I just laid out the questions, give us the answers you have to that.
I don't think that's going to lead to, let's assume, some very important, critical person or he was involved in some very critical mission for the United States.
The fact that we raised the question, the issue that he was murdered is not going to reveal that.
It's going to create more of an impetus to find out about it, but it isn't necessarily going to give away that information right away.
So I would love to see one of the two of them sit down and tell us how they came to that conclusion.
So that's kind of what I was saying earlier with it does seem like they're just more so concerned about the fallout.
Because I mean, imagine, I mean, I think that there's a lot of people that think that most of the people in power are power hungry, pedophiles or whatever.
I mean, people have crazy conspiracy theories about everything.
Most of them are probably true.
But then, I mean, this kind of just like seals the deal.
So, and I think that's what they're, that's what they're terrified of is that all, all the conspiracy theorists, quote unquote, will be proven right.
And then there will be no trust in the public institutions at all.
Well, yeah, we need to get to the bottom of it, though.
You know, as I said, this is just one piece in a puzzle.
We want to find out what happened to him.
And we also need to find out what happened to the children as well, like make sure that, you know, whoever abused them or whatever is brought to justice.
But also we need to find out because this was just a big blackmail operation.
I mean, really, that's what the whole Jeffrey Epstein was.
They videotaped these quote-unquote elites or these politicians doing blacks with children.
And then once they have that type of information on them, whoever's holding that information is in power.
They can dictate what the politician votes for.
They can dictate whatever their agendas they want to push because the politician is scared of the truth coming out.
So it just kind of helps unravel and helps us figure out more of who in our system we can trust and make sure that we can get these people out of out of it pretty much out of the government.
Like you've got it and you're like, oh, wow, this is either this operation is too big and we don't want it to compromise it.
It seems like it's already compromised, but something along those lines, or somebody else is in control of this operation and we can't say anything, right?
Because they've got some of our guys on rock, right?
They're just not providing it to the American people.
And we're not seeing, we're not seeing any arrests at all.
You know, and the same thing kind of even you mentioned Diddy before.
I wouldn't be surprised if Diddy was somewhat involved in all this as not Epstein, but kind of the actual blackmail being used because once again, FBI ran in, grabbed all the tapes, and then you really don't hear much from that.
I think it is like a bit of a bluff too, because it's like, because yeah, if they give it up, then they give up their power along with this, especially because it's like, you know, the news cycle moves so quickly nowadays.
Like it's like, oh, so, you know, so-and-so politician kids.
Okay, well, so what?
So does every other one of them.
So, you know, like there may be some shock of value that's lost just based off of that.
But, but you're right.
Like it is kind of like a game of chicken where it's like, okay, well, you know, I want to move first because if I move first and then drop this information, then I don't have the power anymore.
But yeah, and I actually do think it, I think it is interesting too, because obviously when there's a lot of this espionage and subterfuge going on behind the scenes, who knows who's really in power?
I mean, I think that we all have a general idea, but I mean, who knows?
Like, even I was meeting with someone today.
He works in finance, works in investing.
And then, you know, he was talking about Elon Musk and he's like, yeah, you know, like, Elon Musk is publicly the richest person in the world.
And he's like, there's probably people who are quadrillionaires or quintillionaires.
And actually, I was like, I guess I've never really thought about that.
I always just kind of assumed, oh, yeah, you know, Elon is the richest person in the world.
But yeah, I mean, like, I mean, people talk about the Rothschilds all the time or these like royal, like black nobility families or whatever.
So in the same way, you know, that's with financial, that's with money.
But I mean, who knows if there's like, you know, not some superseding intelligence.
And there kind of is.
We know who it is, too.
It's Mossad, and they're very well known for it.
And they brag about it.
But yeah, I think that maybe a part of it too is that I think that they kind of got outspied.
That our intelligence got outspied.
They thought that they were in control.
But, you know, who knows what they're holding on the president, on other people, too.
It might be good for power and controlling power, but if trust in the government and the government systems is at an all-time low, the only way to restore that is through radical transparency.
I mean, RFK says that as well, right?
And it is.
The only way to restore public trust in health and healthcare and even vaccines or whatever is radical transparency.
You've got to admit where you went wrong.
You've got to admit that you were blackmailing, you know, all these different people.
And then you can move forward and maybe the trust can be restored.
But until that happens, you know, nothing's going to happen.
If you bring up my screen really quickly, the federal court has struck down Trump's sweeping tariffs rules that he exceeded his authority to impose tariffs under IEEPA Trump admin appeals.
Trying to kneecap President Trump's America First agenda.
In a stunning power grab, a trio of judges in New York slammed the brakes on Trump's bold tariff strategy, claiming he overstepped his authority.
And sorry, I just realized how small that was.
So let me try and adjust over here.
It's kind of a, I'm not used to these laptops.
Okay, I don't know if I'm going to be able to, I can't, like, I can't fully zoom in.
So sorry about that if you guys are following along on the screen there, but let's just make do with what we have.
You can bring it back up on the screen.
It's fine.
A three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York ruled Wednesday that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 by imposing sweeping tariffs on imports.
The decision halts Trump's 30% tariffs on China, 25% tariffs on certain goods from Mexico and Canada, and 10% universal tariffs on most imported goods, including the Liberation Day tariffs imposed on April 2nd, 2025.
And if you want to read more about that, you can read from our great author, Alicia Powell.
Can you get an applause for her?
She's been really cranking out the content on the website.
It's going great.
So I want to talk about the tariffs just really briefly because I think every time we have like a tariff segment, like I'm getting pundited too, I'm like, I don't know anything about economics.
Don't ask me.
I just work here.
I don't know anything about it.
But what I will say is that the general feeling behind the tariffs going into the administration after the election was, you know, most people were favorable towards it.
But as we heard this common refrain from Jack Posobic, from Aron McIntyre, from all these kind of like not so far right people, but they kind of like dip their toes into the far right every so often.
Their phrase was always that you can just do things.
So what they're saying is that in the first term, oh, Trump was hamstrung by bad personnel.
He was hamstrung by people that were trying to sabotage him left and right.
But he's learned a lot since then and he's going to pull through and he's going to put America first or whatever.
But now it seems like the exact same things that were happening in the first term are happening all over again.
So I don't know if it's the globalist deep state or if it was just people that were on his team that really just kind of didn't know what they were doing because it does seem like it was a novel legal theory that they were trying to flex, that they were trying to dust off the old books in the law library or something.
They're like, okay, maybe we can use this one.
But I mean, normally, you know, especially, especially once it comes to legal matters, it's never that simple.
There's always someone who's going to find some way because lawyers will always find some way to outsmart you.
So it seems like that's what happened here.
I don't know if it's so much that Trump backed down or if it's just some novel legal theory that I think that his staff just didn't fully think through before they tried to implement it.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of the Trump administration has an uphill battle, maybe with the tariffs, maybe even with the illegal immigration.
You know, I wish Trump would be deporting more illegals.
I think that he has ability to do that.
Unfortunately, that hasn't been fulfilled in the way I wanted to see it.
But you also have these corrupt judges who are going against him at every moment.
You even have some judges who are sneaking the illegals out the door when ICE shows up.
So as far as the tariffs go, I think they were just saying, which the intern kind of helped brief me on this, was that the fact that he used the emergency power and emergency power shouldn't be used for tariffs is pretty much like it's more like moving the National Guard or to different locations.
But the one thing about tariffs, and I'm not the best on tariffs, I'll be honest, is we're tired of getting taken advantage of.
I think the American people are tired of other countries imposing their crazy tariffs on us.
And we allow this to continue.
So all we become is someone who just shells out money to everybody else and we're not taking anything in that's actually benefiting us as the American people.
So I don't know how this is going to turn out, but I would like for us to take more control and not allow these countries to just take advantage of us while we just walk around blindly.
So I know there was like a 90-day pause or something, if I'm not mistaken on the 90-day pause on the tariffs, but I mean, we kind of don't hold, like, I mean, China produces everything.
So it's just the one thing with tariffs too, though, the reason that another reason they're raising tariffs is they actually want to bring American companies back.
You know what I mean?
A lot of our companies went out to other areas and been importing here.
So the plan, I think, is one is to accumulate money from the foreign government, other foreign governments, but then also to give incentive to why you should open your factories in America, why we should be producing here.
Because yeah, we've been buying everything from China.
We're getting everything shipped from all over the world, but not in the United States.
And we've seen what that's done to our country.
You know, it's destroyed it from within, just the fact that everything's imported and all those great businesses and jobs just left.
I think I would say, and look, again, we don't know much about tariffs here, but I would say as a negotiating tactic, for sure he's brought companies to the table.
I know the EU has called him to the table and they've renegotiated there and a whole bunch of other things.
If anything positive, that's something that I think came out of it where it's like they renegotiated and maybe they figured out a level or a rate that was amicable.
I think that, you know, and I guess the second point would be it did expose this disparity between the countries where countries were overcharging.
And now everyone knows.
That was something that nobody really understood until they published that chart.
And then everyone's like, oh, 700,000 for some items or 3,000, you know, what am I saying?
300% or something like that.
And now everyone sort of knows, oh, wow, everybody's ripping the U.S. off.
So I think even from a consumer mindset, that changes how people view things.
And I think a lot more people are going to be favorable to like these type of like strong arm negotiation tactics going forward.
Well, that was a little premature, but that's fine.
We're learning over here.
Could we get applause for the intern behind the production desk right now?
Again, you know, Elijah left us high and dry, just kidding.
But Elijah and Sarah Stock were on Timpool last night.
So if you guys hadn't watched that, make sure to check that out.
You know, again, we're pre-recording this.
I mean, well, by the way, some things happened in the news over the last 12 hours that I'm sure will come up on the show tonight that came out last night, if that makes any sense.
So it probably wasn't a good episode.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Sarah Stock probably eviscerated Timpool with facts and logic.
That's just a joke.
Timpool's a smart guy.
He's a great guy.
Culture.
Sidney Sweeney is selling 5,000 bars of soap that contains drops of her own bathwater.
And then, well, like, my thing too is like, okay, so you put water into soap or whatever.
unidentified
It's not like you can like smell it or something or like wouldn't you just be like a vat of whatever liquid soap and then they just like drop two drops in there and then that's also how do you even verify that they're that that they're just not upcharging you on a normal thing there's no way that you can't $15.
And then, and then this is, this is Bell Delphine.
This is what our intern was talking about earlier.
This is the girl that might have to prove a point.
So it was in the dock.
But so, yeah.
So she had $90,000 frozen because, yeah, I mean, surprisingly enough, I know there's a lot of overreach by the government.
There's a lot of like regulations and everything.
But actually, yeah, we probably should be restricting if people can sell anything resembling bodily fluids because I think things just get weird after that.
It's like, it's weird and it's kind of like fetish type thing, but it is interesting that a major company, I guess it's a major, what is it, cosmetic company or something like that?
Well, I mean, you know, I thought it was weird once I went to Target and then they had soap that was in the scent of Jarritos, if you know what Jarritos is.
She's been cranking stuff out, but let me just read a little bit of the article here.
Buckle up because left speech police are at again swinging their censorship batons to silence voices they don't like.
In a world where Instagram happily promotes OnlyFans models and pornographic content, the platform has drawn a hard line against edgy political speech, proving once more that the First Amendment is under siege by big tech's woke overlords.
This time, their target is Nick Fuentes, a controversial figure whose viral clips are being wiped from the platform in the brazen move to control the narrative.
Instagram reportedly initiated a sweeping purge of content related to Nick Fuentes, a right-wing influencer known for his provocative political commentary.
But I haven't had friends with him, but I had been saying for a while that, and Elijah just talked about this a lot on the show too, but Instagram is just letting anyone do whatever.
Yeah, I mean, on Instagram, you can see a lot of videos.
It may be nudity I've seen on Instagram, extreme videos I've seen there.
But there's certain areas they don't want you to touch on.
There's certain areas they don't want you to talk about.
You know, they say that, you know, Mark Zuckerberg's changed now.
They got him on a surfboard.
He's, you know, maybe he's taking a little bit of tests or a little bit of IGF and he's trying to act like he's one of the boys now, showing up to UFC events.
But that's not the case.
They're still silencing people.
You know, my page, I was getting about 20 million impressions a month.
And the second I started talking about Israel, now I'm down to, I think it's only like 7 million or something.
So it's lowered a lot.
So they're still limiting free speech.
It's not a platform.
And I mean, X does it as well, depending on if Elon likes what you're saying or not.
But yeah, Instagram, I know with the whole Nick Fuentes thing, they're taking down the videos.
Anybody who's posting Nick Fuentes.
Now, from what I've seen, they're not doing it to everybody.
Because, like, if you post Nick in one post and then post something else, they haven't taken the videos down.
But if you have a page where it's mostly Nick Fuentes that you're posting, then they're shutting you down here, huh?
I mean, Elon had kind of opened the floodgates, I mean, however long, like two years ago now or something when he took over the platform.
But then it was like, and by the way, I mean, I think Nick had actually been talking about this too.
And other people have been talking about how, you know, I mean, Trump's donors, they want this kind of speech censored.
And I know a lot of people said, oh, well, if Kamala got in, it would have been way worse.
I'm actually not convinced of that because, I mean, the reason why he's being censored or why Nick is is because he takes a hard line stance against Israel.
And obviously, we know that Israel is a big donor of President Trump.
So it seems like, I mean, it seems like if you were just paying attention just a little bit, this was bound to happen.
Now, I guess the next question is, how far is this going to go?
Because now we know that Palantir and these other big corporations, they're starting to use AI.
They're kind of doing this minority report level of surveillance on people, making sure that someone's not the next Christ church shooter or incel killer or whatever.
I don't think that we're even at risk of any of that stuff.
But obviously, they're going to use events like what happened in DC with the people at the Israeli embassy as a pretense to crack down, to ban people more.
And then they'll say it's because they're trying to prevent people from acting out violently.
When actually, Nick was the one who was acted violently against.
Someone tried to shoot him.
Yeah, someone tried to come to his house and tried to kill him.
Even before that, that woman showed up and just knocked on his door.
I don't know what her intentions were or whatever, but it seems like this is just a pretense for more censorship and then for them to eventually crack down on people who aren't fully supportive of Israel.
Well, it's always one thing or the other, isn't it?
It's either COVID, it's this or that.
And right now, I guess it's the Israel topic.
But it is, it is strange that you allow graphic videos like Gore, people dying.
You see that on Twitter as well.
People dying, pornography.
And then, you know, Instagram is just a gateway to OnlyFans creators or porn stars.
That's what it is.
I mean, it's just like naked girls.
And then, you know, you guys are talking about how there's graphic videos there.
You can see people getting blown up, getting in car accidents, all that kind of stuff.
But God forbid, somebody have a political channel and talk critical of Israel or something like that.
I feel like that's not even on the same level.
Like you would go through and block all that other stuff because there are children on the platform before you block somebody giving their commentary on what's happening in the world, you know?
And he's also echoing a common opinion.
Like there's a lot of people out there that have a problem with Israel and what's going on in Israel.
And this is a big, a big issue.
So I don't know if they released a statement explaining why they did that or what was the logic behind it.
Well, and by the way, if it's certain people, if it's like certain higher profile people, which by the way, I mean, Nick, I mean, it's funny because from some angles, he's kind of like a niche content creator.
And like, you know, I mean, I couldn't expect to just walk out onto the street and everyone knows who he is.
But I mean, like, he's even been saying since his clips were doing so well on Instagram that now he's getting recognized more and more often.
So, you know, even though he's not like, you know, Ben Shapiro or Matt Walsh or like Candace Owens level, I mean, I guess that may be arguable at this point.
I think that's why they feel like they don't have to address it.
If they banned someone like Steven Crowder, like, you know, like, let's say like Rumble banned Steven Crowder, which would never happen.
We love Rumble.
They would obviously never do that.
But obviously they would have to make a statement about it because there'd be such a bad PR fallout after that.
It would be a big issue.
With Nick, I feel like they can just keep it moving because the people who are really in power want to see that done.
And then, you know, like I said, with the news cycle, the news cycle will just move along and then everyone will move on to the next thing.
Well, what they do is they try to lump everything into anti-Semitism.
You know, it's if you question Israel, then you hate all Jews.
That's how they try to paint the picture as, you know, which isn't true at all.
You know, for instance, me, I talk all the time about Joe Biden, talk bad about him.
Does that mean I hate every American?
No, it doesn't mean I hate every American.
But what they do is they try to lump some it all into one and try to use that as a tool.
It's even to the point where now the government's backing them to where if you want to come into the country or if you want to go to, you know, get visas, they're checking your Instagram and your social media to make sure you didn't talk bad about Israel.
Now, it's not saying that you talk bad about America.
It's not saying you talk bad about anything else, but it's specifically saying if you talk bad about Israel, which is just insane.
Why are we putting a foreign country in front of ourselves?
Why are we giving this foreign country special privileges?
And a lot of times with social media too, that I find is when you have news stories that are being blocked like that.
So for instance, COVID and even with George Floyd, who he died of a fentanyl overdose, if you talked about that, then that was terrible.
You're supposed to say that he was murdered by the police officer.
A lot of times when those stories are restricted, it's usually because you're getting closer to the truth.
Once you start to get closer to truth is when they want to silence you.
That's when they want to cut your voice and make sure that you're not heard, that you're not amplified.
But the thing is, this is actually backfiring on them in a way, because the more that they're attacking people for exposing this type of truth, the more we're showing that the Israeli government does have ties to our country where it's controlling us, where it has that foreign influence where we have a lot of people who have dual citizenship within our government who are just agreeing blindly with Israel, APAC and everything.
The more they've been pushing back is actually backfiring in a sense where you're seeing the younger generation saying, no, we're not going to accept this.
And by the way, I mean, I think that all people are starting to realize too, when it's a prerequisite to be a citizen of a country, like for instance, like even like even with people who are just visiting, who are getting their education in America, like now it's a prerequisite that you have to support Israel.
Like that's kind of scary.
And, you know, that would be the case for any country.
If it was Qatar or if it was Russia or whatever or Tunisia.
I know it seems like it's like we're living in clown world and we have been living in clown world for a long time.
I know it seems very, very dystopian, but I will say that you guys can take solace in the fact knowing that we have art exhibits of 12-foot statues of black women everywhere.
So if you could pull up my screen real quick.
Yeah, you know, I know that we may not have free speech.
I know that it's a prerequisite to support a foreign country to go to school in this country or to even be a citizen.
I love how for what the last 10 years, you know, like General Robert Lee or James Madison or Ben Franklin or whoever, all those statues, those great men who founded the country, who won multiple military battles, who put their life on the line.
And by the way, I mean, people who wrote the, like, you know, the Filing Fathers who wrote the Constitution, people forget this.
They were like in their late 20s and 30s.
They had done way more than any of us had done at this point.
I mean, we just run a freaking live stream.
You know, these guys were actually forming one of the greatest countries in the world.
But, you know, it's a big problem for those people to have statues.
But random black people, if you could bring it up on the screen again, a black girl who's texting or something, that's worthy of a statue.
Yeah, it's just crazy because we're also seeing this in this museum.
You also see it in New York City where they put the 12-foot or 14-foot statue.
You have one in, I think it's San Diego, which is like 30 feet tall that they have.
It's like when you first come into the ports, that's like the first thing you see.
And then they also have them in Italy and everywhere else.
And it's just crazy.
You know, as you mentioned, they went that they're basically when they tore all our founding fathers, all the statues of these great heroes that helped build our country.
It's just an eradication of our history.
That's really what they're trying to do.
And they're even changing the history books, which I don't believe any of the history books because they are the Ethiopians.
You know, and even what we see on TV, you know, I mean, I was watching one show that, well, I seen a clip of it was, I forget what channel it was, but they were saying that like the Vikings were all black.
Yeah.
You know, and you see this time, they have a, you have a gay black crippled who's supposed to be the king of England in a news show that's coming out.
They're just trying to get rid of it completely, trying to put this false narrative.
And then unfortunately, they replace it with junk like this.
I mean, this isn't art.
This is even close to art.
You know, if you look at real sculptures from the past, like, you know, from Greece or from other places, yeah, you know, they might have been a little bit naked.
I get that.
But the point is, is that they were designed very well.
Because everything now that goes viral to get anything viral is just like they make some controversy around it and actually gives it more, I guess it gives it more attention, right?
And it brings it to the public.
So they're like, oh, there's a crazy fat black woman in Times Square.
And now everyone's, and it's probably the most searched thing, you know, for that week or whatever.
It's, you know, and it would get more searches and more clicks than a normal statue, actually.
If they raise like a normal statue that you would expect to be there, it gets like crazy clicks, you know?
Oh, we've got a little girl standing up to the bull in Wall Street.
Cause I mean, you know, even if you just see like, like, I love when I see this, I love when you like will be at Target or wherever, just out and about at a store or fast food shop or whatever.
And then like, you'll see a black person wearing a shirt, like a black woman, and it's like black girl magic.
It's just like, you're just like, you work at Walmart.
Yes, I worked at the Walmart before there is a lot actually, by the way, Walmart actually didn't pay terribly when I was I think I was 18 once I worked there and they paid like 15 bucks an hour which, by the way, that was like what 200 uh, eight or something when I worked there.
That's actually not terrible.
And then I remember people used to because like like, people used to always say oh, Walmart doesn't pay people like livable wages.
And you know, the main issue with that argument is like yeah, because the Walmart is not supposed to be your career, you're not supposed to work at Walmart forever, because even even once you ascend to general manager or like district manager whatever, you have to put in like 60, 80 hour weeks to make like 120k.
Yeah right well, I gotta talk to Elijah once he gets back.
Well, and and, by the way, speaking of speaking of getting a good, livable wage, I mean now it seems like that's going to be cut into more and more, because now, with the rise of Ai.
I mean even the high skilled jobs, even developers, even you know, by trade i'm a graphic designer, that was what I originally started doing uh, but you know, if it's bad for people who are doing stuff like that, can you imagine what it would be like for people who work at Mcdonald's if you could bring it up on the screen real quick?
Now they have a fully autonomous Mcdonald's which, by the way, you know, in terms of the, the labor market and people having jobs, I am against this, but I um, I went to go get a gorilla mind at the UH Vitamin SHOP yesterday before I went to the gym, because we're on a cut right now.
Um and uh, once I was there, I was like the guy was taking forever to press the right buttons and now it's like yeah, you know what?
Uh, maybe I will take one of those ELON MUSK robots serving me my gorilla.
Yeah yep, I mean, the only problem we run into now, especially with AI growing, um and all this kind of you know, businesses being created like this, is, uh, what do you do with all those people?
I do think America definitely has trouble as far as education is concerned.
You know, we were created to be workers.
I guess they're just really bad at it.
The whole education system has to be redone because when the, I believe it was the Rockefellers who put everything together as far as the education system, it was the rock and roll group.
Like, I mean, you know, I don't really believe, like, I mean, I think that we should be advancing technologically, but I mean, the people who are holding all the cards once it comes to technology and AI, yeah, don't have our best interests.
So, I mean, I think this is why this may be why Andrew Yang was pushing UBI so hard ahead of the curve when he was campaigning.
But then if we get to that point, so what?
Everyone is just capped off at like what, like 80,000 a year?
And there's no vertical like mobility.
And then the people who are at the top can just take all the resources for themselves.
And then there's literally no way that the underclass can break out at that point.
And as you're mentioning about office spaces, yeah, a lot of times when we hear about people pushing back against, you know, AI taking over and having these automated companies, we're always like, oh, those lower workers are the ones in trouble.
But the one thing is America is you're always going to need ditch diggers.
You're always going to need the people who are going to go out and do the manual labor.
The people who are really going to be threatened in the long run, as you mentioned, is the office workers because a lot of everything they do can just be replaced now.
You don't need to have an office full of people if you have a good enough AI system and a good enough automated system.
I think it is going to get to a point where a lot of people are going to be out of work.
You know, over time, we've always found new ways to gather wealth and people are going to have to try to figure that out, but it's going to be very difficult because AI is ai is growing fast.
You know, it's getting so smart each and every day.
It's, it's crazy to think how far it came from even just a year ago to now.
Do you think like AI is advancing, of course, and they're investing heaps in it, but do you see like the products around you and the services around you getting better?
But I feel like they've been getting worse, especially when you talk about tech products or the tech scene.
It's been getting worse.
I mean, of course, you have AI and it's going to replace like, you know, email workers or whatever, but they were replaceable anyway.
You know, during COVID, they all got fired.
All of them got fired from Google, from even big tech companies.
So they were totally replaceable.
And there was a million people that could do their job.
So I think like, I don't see anything getting better.
You know, like, I don't know if AI is going to make things better because, you know, already people are implementing it.
It's just like.
It's just cheaper and faster.
It's like replacing, you know, like the Indian hubs in India.
You know, like that Microsoft or Google using it's basically just a replacement for that yeah, which we didn't need in the first place.
You know, when you go into tech, it's like one American could developer, or one small American developer team, could do the work of all those Indians.
You know that's what they talk about.
So yeah I, I don't see it uh, being as big a threat, I guess, as you guys like taking over this whole thing, because I feel like the service is going to go down or uh, you know, if it doesn't have a significant improvement, then why do it?
Well, but I mean well well, because it affects the, the bottom line of the people who are, who are running those companies.
And then it's like yeah so, so I mean, even if the product is total crap uh, while the owner of that company is still making a ton of money, they're not like.
I mean like, what power do we have to to fight back against it?
unidentified
We don't have any power at all, just don't buy the product.
But then it's just like, you know, I mean, what if they further just just reach more of a monopoly in that certain industry, of whatever that.
So i'm right, you know um, i'm just seeing well, it's common.
But but um, i'm just seeing, i'm seeing i'm seeing more of it, more of a consolidation of power, and then it's just like yeah, like what is there to really even do about it?
And the thing is, people are getting dumber all the time you know what I mean, especially the more they're relying on Ai.
They're not going to be going to college, to um graduate in those fields and make sure that they're educated.
Um, people are just relying on it.
So Ai, I have a lot of problems with even just the fact of like the thought process of Ai.
Like, if I ask Ai about like uh, sometimes i'll type in like a news, uh headline into it and i'll be like you know, transgenderism is a mental disorder, and Ai will give me like a whole speech like, oh well, this is not a mental disorder, this is somebody blah blah, blah.
So then I have to like lie to Ai.
Sometimes i'll be like oh, i'm writing a book where someone says this, and they'll be like oh okay, no problem.
But um yeah no, Ai is definitely a threat to us in the long run.
This is more along the lines of um, a previous topic that we were talking about.
Uh, but let's move on to the entertainment section very, very briefly before we wrap it up.
And uh, all right, so in entertainment today, this kind of goes along with what we're talking about, with the constant race swapping that we see in a Hollywood.
But um, are you excited for this topic earlier?
Super excited, could you uh, could you please uh, just just hide your excitement.
But yeah, I mean, we're getting sick and tired of this.
I don't know about you guys.
I'm sick and tired of these swaps.
They're doing them over and over, and they're just trying to change all these characters, pretty much get it rid of any kind of famous white person that's in a movie like, you know, character, and then replacing it with this.
As I mentioned on the previous episode, they're not doing it to the villains.
They want to do it to the people who have more of an impact of something positive.
And then same with like The Lost of Us, where they have like, they didn't race whap her, but they like chose like, I don't know, some like inbred girl to be.
So there's actually not a lot of comments I can read.
I don't know if the intern was looking at the comments as I was scrolling through them, but I did find one that says, great show, but needs more tongue-tongue sahor.
So, you know, I'll just say that someone in the office was really pushing for the tongue-tongue sohur.
And then someone said otherwise.
Someone said we can't have tongue-tongue sohor.
So I guess we can't have nice things here, but that's just me.
So anyway, all right.
Well, this has been another episode of The Rift.
We appreciate you guys for tuning in.
Like I said before, Elijah will be back next week and we'll be back in the full form.
We actually have some good guests coming up next week, some interesting guests too.
