But see, like, that's why I want to know from a legal standpoint.
This is what people do all the time.
I want to clarify this.
Like, one of the craziest things is like, there'll be like a story and it'll be like Elijah Schaefer text released petitioning someone for sex.
It turns out that person's my wife, you know?
And it's like, you know, and it's, so it's like, it's like, but the headline is made to make something seem, you know, weird or they use words to try to make something seem inaccurate.
But this is like a national security issue, right?
Because this gives the ammunition not to the Democrats only, but to the deep state and also puts Trump in a very awkward position.
He has been undermined by his right-hand man that literally paid to get him into office and he's turning against him.
He didn't address it at all, the whole Epstein accusation.
I'm wondering what he's going to do about this because I do think, you know, if he just doesn't respond to it, it does make him look really bad because it's not like this is coming from some random person online making an accusation.
This is coming from the richest man in the world who obviously would have access.
Like he would know that.
People were saying, oh, how would Elon Musk know he's not in the FBI?
It's like, you really think the richest man in the world wouldn't know what's true or not about what's going on in the deep state?
I'm pretty sure he knows enough people that he would have access to that information.
Whether or not this accusation is true, he does know the truth.
If it's true, how did he get the info from which he then made the disclosure?
And is the disclosure illegal?
I don't know, corrupt interference with government business or I don't know, some more serious, arguably treasonous crime.
Like treason is not the right word.
It's effectively trying to overthrow the government.
He's trying to take down the democratically elected government with information that he may have gotten through private access that he had to whatever information.
I'm operating on the basis that it's not true because if Trump were in the files, they would have released it when Biden owned the FBI, the DOJ, and it would have come out years ago.
In fact, it's implausible that it didn't, because if it does come out now, it would mean that the Biden administration and the corrupt FBI was protecting Donald Trump.
That would be the steel man to say, yes, the reason why they would even protect Trump is because it includes also a bunch of rhinos and it's to protect themselves and they couldn't out.
There would be a way to out Trump without everybody outing everybody else.
Like a picture.
There would be more damning evidence than him banning Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.
The more plausible thing is, you know, the follow-up tweet is what's particularly relevant where he says, mark this post for the future.
So as if to qualify the initial tweet, not as a statement of fact, but as a prediction, which is a matter of opinion and therefore not subject to defamation.
I mean, it looks like he might have done that to cover his ass, but that first tweet is time to drop the truth bomb or the really big bomb.
Trump is in the Epstein files.
That's why they haven't made it public.
Have a nice day.
I mean, that's a statement of fact.
And to the extent that he's going to say it's materially true or technically true, because he's in the black book and he was on the flight logs, therefore not defamation.
No, it's the implication that is extremely damning.
Yeah, this is like when some broad back in the day is like, I'm just going to go away with this other guy.
And then it turns out this is Troy.
And you didn't just go sleep with another guy.
You started a giant war or whatever.
And tens of thousands of men died because you wanted to do your little trist there.
These little games these people play have very real consequences.
However, sometimes I wonder, this is going to be kind of bad here.
Elon Musk tweeted this.
I wonder, he said, the Trump tariff will cause a recession the second half of this year.
Is Elon Musk right to try to check Trump's ego?
Is the big beautiful bill that damning, that detrimental, especially with the AI exemptions in it?
Him already not liking Sam Altman, right?
There's already that issue, thinking that what's going on with the new Stargate super AI center in Texas is going to bring about the end of the country.
Is he right?
Is this a good thing?
Because quite frankly, he's not going to get any praise for this.
No one's going to back him up.
He doesn't like the Democrats.
He hates it.
They turned his son into a freak.
So why would he be doing this?
I just don't see an ulterior motive besides the fact that he really believes that he's fighting a just and a righteous battle.
And setting aside the jokes of people were saying like he's on drugs because those tweets are the rapidity of the tweets is not within his regular cadence.
No, Elijah, you're right in that.
Imagine how insulting it is for Elon, who sacrificed six months of his life, of his professional career, firebombing Tesla's.
The stock was tanking.
Democrats were relishing it.
And he was there to expose Doge, fraud, waste, whatever you want to call it.
And then at the end of the day, say, thanks for identifying it.
Now we're going to increase the budget, increase the ceiling, and continue spending even more.
So you can imagine that he was just wildly insulted.
And he's not, I'm saying this not to be mean.
If he's on the spectrum, his response might not be that of a someone with a normal response gauge.
And so this might be just a bad response from someone who doesn't respond typically to adversity.
And also, I think it's fair to point out that Elon didn't attack Trump personally at first.
He just criticized the bill.
And I think that's fair for him to do to criticize a bill that basically undoes all the work that he just, you know, basically sacrificed his career doing.
So not to impugn the intentions of people who are happy about this, but I noticed that they are two distinct groups.
They're the ones who think Trump is involved in the Epstein files and they're the ones who firmly believe that Israel is behind the non-disclosure of the Epstein files.
More amenable to lending credence to the idea that the reason why these files haven't been dropped is to protect allies because it would tarnish their reputations.
And not only Israel, I'm sure it has all of the intelligence agencies involved in it, but one ally is more vulnerable than the others.
But the only people who seem to say, good for you, Elon, for doing this are people who, A, believe it, want to believe it, or that firmly think Trump is actually involved in it.
When it turns out, and I think it will turn out that Trump is not nefariously involved in the Epstein documents, people are going to say, what the?
If it turns out he was even on Epstein's island, that would have come out by now.
And you don't have to prove SA to do that.
But if it turned out he was even on the island, that would not have been withheld for 10 years.
So the fact that even that has not been disclosed under the Biden's DOJ, when they were fighting tooth and nail to impeach him, bankrupt him, jail him, and kill him, they're not going to release that.
Oh, because it would implicate horse crap.
But so I don't know what the hell Elon's doing.
I think he's going to either hide behind it being a joke, like when he pretended to be Adrian Dittman, or he's going to say it was just a prediction.
And I said it in the second tweet, but he's walked into it.
I think the Edelson money and a lot of these outside interests have definitely taken a hold of his ability to act appropriately in the world.
And maybe there's more blackmail, just like RFK Jr.
However, as we talk about this, don't forget, many of you know that one of the main problems in our society is that men are not men.
And I know that like if you listen to Riley Gaines or like Chris Ruffo, they'll make you think that the issue is that, you know, transgenders.
It's like this is such a non-real issue in the world.
What's really an issue in the world is that men don't have testosterone.
Like that's actually the problem.
So they look like men, but they don't have any grit.
They don't have any power.
You know that over half of like men this year won't even have sex at all.
And that includes because they're not married.
They're not getting married.
They have no desire to pursue women.
This is dangerous.
There's an attack on your testosterone, and the only way that you're going to undo that is by a lifestyle change and also by supplementing.
Now, let me tell you this: unfortunately, there's only two real ways you can supplement.
All those pills that you can take, they do not work.
Basically, what you're going to have to do is either have to inject TRT into your butt or you're going to have to do something that's like a sublingual liquid that's specifically designed for 98% absorption.
Yeah, exactly.
Good thing they made that.
So, we don't have to use needles.
It's called Man's Edge as Fenugreek, NO2, IGF, and all of the great natural supplements that are proven to raise your testosterone up to 46%.
Now, designed with a special carbon delivery system that gives you maximum absorption, maximum effect.
And right now, you can buy one, get one free when you choose auto-ship.
It's so much so that when you also put my code Elijah at elijaigf1.com, E-L-I-J-A-H, I-G-F, the numberone.com, you get 10 more% off.
So, you get two bottles for 60% off.
It sounds stupid because it's literally they're selling to you, they're losing money.
What does that mean when a company's losing money when they sell you a product at first on auto-ship?
They know you're not going to cancel.
You're going to keep buying the product because it actually works pretty damn well.
Better than damn well, I should say.
Check it out today.
Get your testosterone up, get your libido up, stop being fatigued, get your grit.
Trust me, I worked on my testosterone and it has helped me so much.
I have never made more money, I have never been in a better position, I have never been more strong and less of a bitch.
It's actually true.
Sometimes I'm a bitch on the show, but that's when my T is low.
No, but actually, check it out: Elijah IGF, the numberone.com promo code Elijah.
If it worked for me, it can work for you too.
All right, as we talk about this, let me jump into further points here.
Um, Elon Musk retweeted this.
Here's a third tweet right after.
You saw this when he uh retweeted this guy, A.G. Hamilton.
Why do I have that person blocked?
I don't know.
I just saw I have is that some sort of a prick or something?
I was like, You blocked this person, so I don't know why.
Um, but he wrote this three hours ago: the relationship between Trump and Epstein is well established.
Trump flew on Epstein's plane at least seven times, though it's not clear he ever went to the island.
Here's what Trump said about Epstein in 2002 in a New York magazine profile: Epstein likes to tell people that he's a loner, a man who's never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic.
And yet, if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges.
I've known Jeff for 15 years, a terrific guy.
Trump booms from a speakerphone.
He's a lot of fun to be with.
It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.
No doubt about it.
Jeffrey enjoys his social life.
Is that an innocent statement?
You just notice, like, I know lots of guys that like younger girls.
That's not a weird thing in terms of men like younger girls, but not too young.
So, one of the things that I think I'm not clear on is Donald Trump had a relationship with Jeffrey.
And I want to bring this up, but there was this interview I remember he gave, and it seemed like he was a little bit uncomfortable with the idea of releasing all the information about the Epstein files.
And I believe this was before he won.
And he sort of backtracks renegs, you might call it, on his confidence.
And I feel like, I don't know if you remember everyone here when we had Bongino and Cash give that absolutely incredulous interview where they looked like they had a gun pointed to their head.
And I didn't really care what someone's saying.
I look at how they say it.
And when Cash kept looking at him like this, like looking for approval, and you have him, you're a lawyer, you know, these like these body language signs.
It seemed like something they were under duress.
Listen to the way Trump responds here.
Okay, this is crucial.
Let's see if you think that maybe there is something a little more on the table.
And by the way, I'm not saying that he touched the girls, but maybe he saw some things and didn't report it, which could also be criminal too.
It could be considered like facilitating criminal activity.
There could be, you know, especially with minors, they are able to prosecute that.
I've seen that before, not reporting a crime, those kind of things to protect a minor.
I think that less so because, you know, you don't know, you don't want to affect people's lives if it's phony stuff in there because there's a lot of phony stuff with that whole world.
People are going to accuse me of being very biased to Trump.
I mean, to the extent I don't think he's got anything to hide for himself in there, I don't think he's hiding anything for himself.
The question really is whether or not now that he's in a position of, in the position to do it, not just in a position of power, if he doesn't do it, and I said it from a while back, it's the litmus test of his campaign.
It was something of a promise.
It was something that everybody was relying on.
It's something that everyone rallied behind.
If he doesn't do it, or if it is not done in a manner that is adequate, people will irreparably lose faith in him, the presidency, the administration, and they will rightly have very suspicious motives as to why he wouldn't release it, whether it's to protect rhinos in the House, whether it's to protect allies in the Middle East.
People are going to have those concerns, and you cannot blame them for having those concerns.
Elon seems to be mad, but I don't think it's necessarily because he really cares about the lack of spending.
However, let's give him the benefit of the doubt.
He does say that if we continue living like this, if we continue printing money, if we continue living superfluously, if we spend money like it just grows on trees, which it does, the tree is called the Federal Reserve, and they're printing that stuff out like it is grown on trees.
By the way, they just dropped some off today.
Thank you.
Just kidding.
Remember, we don't take money from the Federal Reserve.
We take it from Qatar, to be honest about American politics.
Tell James Lindsey that.
Anyway, the problem with this is that it actually will increase the deficit to $2.5 trillion, this new bill.
And here he is on Fox News.
Listen to Elon Musk.
Let's listen to his body language.
Is he using this as a front?
Or is he actually that concerned he's willing to burn the bridge down as he leaves?
I think that the we've got this enormous federal budget deficit, and it's a true trillion dollar deficit.
It keeps growing.
Our interest payments are higher than our Defense Department budget.
That's, I think, was the real wake-up call for me, was looking at seeing that the interest payments, the national debt, exceeded the Defense Department budget.
And that was only growing over time, which meant if we didn't do something about this, then there won't be any money for anything.
We'll just be servicing debt.
unidentified
And you know how to read an income statement and you know how to read a balance sheet.
That is some body language to read because that in there, when someone in his position admits to difficulties publicly, you know, that's a hard admission to make.
And he is basically stating publicly he sacrificed a ton.
He took a hit.
He firebombs everything.
And now they ultimately don't even listen to him.
That could be the ultimate insult.
But even if he bona fide genuinely believes that, you know, the big, beautiful bill is bad, this is not how you go about fighting it.
This is like popping the ball, walking off the field and burning the freaking gymnasium down.
The replacement is a little bit slower than I expected.
But I mean, look, we are in this universal Western demolition where they are actually destroying our societies, our cultures.
I want to ask this.
Maybe you know, maybe you don't.
But rhetorically speaking, who are we paying interest to?
Like, who's making that?
Who's profiting off of the United States?
I don't want you to say China, because that's not true.
Who is profiting off of us getting into more debt?
Because that's the enemy of the United States.
The people who are allowing the printing of money and the consolidation of our spending that are authorizing it and controlling our currency, allowing that, those people are profiting off of this debt clock.
So whoever that is, reminding you, I want to know who is that?
Because there's two parts to this, but who's profiting, Viva?
No, first, it's, it's me neither, but it's the, it's the, and that's not because I have any vested interest in this.
It's, it's, it's interests that include elites from various countries, not one country in particular that's a puppet master.
But in terms of the foreign aid to foreign countries, on the one hand, it's sort of a money laundering scheme where once you realize like they give billions of dollars to Israel, but it's to buy weapons from American military companies.
So it's sort of just the money laundering of taxpayer dollars to go back to the military about the US.
But if the only thing that came out of this is reducing foreign aid, at the very least, focusing more on domestic issues, that would be great.
That's what Elon was kind of in there, not really to do, but identify where the waste is.
But you can understand it's not just an insult.
It's almost like they've wasted the time of the most important person, one of the most important people on earth, important in terms of business and influence.
He's risked life and limb to serve the government.
And then they say thank you.
And the insult that he must have taken that as could explain a few things.
But the flip side, if we like Elon or you want to believe that Elon is doing this for a noble reason, it was just a troll.
Now I'm going to force the administration to release the Epstein files.
And I want to remind you, you know, back like seven, eight years ago, about a decade ago, Australia, which is the testing ground for all of the experiments.
I remember when I first went there, before we had Tap to Pay here in the country, at least I'd never seen it before.
I went there and everything was tap to pay and no one had a card reader.
And I was really screwed because I had a credit card and I couldn't use it anywhere and none of my American credit cards had tap on them.
I mean, this was a citibank, you know, Amex.
They didn't work.
And then I noticed that they also charged you for the credit card fee and even big chains.
It was like an extra 3% charge on everything.
It was a tax, a bank tax.
And then what was crazy is like, you could get your ID on your phone and a lot of people would just show their phones and their IDs.
And I was like, what's going on here?
You know, because many ways Australia is like 40 years behind the rest of the world, but in many ways, it's like in the future.
And then, you know, go ahead five years, you know, five, six years ago, tap's now a very normal thing, right?
You know, Apple Pay has always been, it's been around for a while, but it wasn't, it wasn't everywhere.
But now literally, you go to the most, you know, crazy place.
The only place that doesn't have it is Walmart because the minorities were abusing it, pretending to pay.
And so they needed to have physical cards.
That's literally what happened.
So Walmart's one of the only places that doesn't have the tap.
I'm just saying, when I've watched this, what happened in Australia is not just payment systems.
When it's gotten more expensive, at a certain point, then they just go through full demographic replacement, turn it in and sell out the land, sell out the property.
You know, like something like 3% of the entire world's GDP is just locked up in like property just in Australia, which is a small country of like, you know, just like about 30 million.
And they sell out the country, use it as a holding zone for money, like the Cayman Islands or something.
It starts becoming a money laundering trade out post.
The people get pushed aside.
The crime increases and it turns into a totalitarian hellhole.
My point is, is that it's not like we're going to collapse.
It's just they're going to integrate their new system.
And I know this because when I left Australia last, about a year ago, everywhere was cashless.
You couldn't use cash anywhere.
They stopped allowing cash and made it illegal to buy anything over $10,000 in cash.
And it's illegal to pull out more than $10,000 in cash too.
It made me feel so paranoid and like the world's kind of like caving in on you because you're realizing how little control that we really have.
Do you know what I mean?
It's kind of really scary.
And it almost felt like that was just a setup, like a test run for the central banking digital currency.
That's the way I saw it.
It just felt like they were creating a system to see how many people will fall in line if we can track you and if we can control you and monitor you.
And then now we have all this news coming out about Palantir, and they're going to be compiling all our data using AI to basically create profiles on every single person and using algorithms to determine who is an extremist threat to the country, whose ideology is a threat to the country.
And the fact that the CEO said his greatest fear is Christian nationalism kind of scares me.
Well, the fact that they already have this technology that's functional and the fact that despite all of that, you still have people who are posting the things that Mohamed Suleiman was posting online, being in a country illegally with overt statements of support for terrorist organizations.
It still shocks me that despite all of that surveillance that they do have right now implemented currently some of these incidents slip under the radar or were not known to FBI.
But back to Elon for one second, where he says, you know, he's on Team America.
I'm not convinced that what he did today was Team America.
He might be right that you might be on a sinking ship.
Focusing on the debt increasing without comparing that to the growth of the economy itself might also be short-sighted.
Flip side, I've heard the pros and the cons arguments against the OBBB, the one big beautiful bill.
I'm inclined to say that I would support Elon's position in opposition to it, but the reality is, what's the alternative for the time being?
You either tax more or you raise the debt ceiling a little bit in conjunction with growth of a market, hopefully the growth of the economy.
But what he did, I don't think, was Team America.
And I think he might wake up tomorrow morning in whatever state.
Kind of transitioning, we have another insane story that I want to jump into, which is nuts.
TMZ released a bombshell story today alleging that there was a fifth plane on 9-11 that was covered up by the FBI.
And this is another plane we're talking about.
Apparently, it wasn't about trafficking children, but this is very serious.
Let's get into our top stories for today.
Let's talk about it.
An interesting time for all of us here.
Got to click out of that.
Thank you.
A very interesting time for all of us here and the Rift because you thought you heard all of the conspiracies.
You thought you knew everything about 9-11.
But it seems like every day I wake up, Viva, there's a new angle of video footage for 9-11.
There's a new interview that just resurfaces.
And I'm finding out things that I never knew.
But I can remember back in the time when Alex Jones, when Gary Franch, who the next news network, were in the streets passing out DVDs in 2001, 2002, telling people it was an inside job.
This is not what it means.
It's not what it looks like.
And people like Glenn Beck and Fox and the establishment were calling them crazy and lunatics.
That's actually how the fight started between Alex Jones and Glenn Beck was over him trying to write Alex off for his claiming that it wasn't just a random terrorist attack from Al-Qaeda.
This video we'll watch in a second is nuts.
But does this shock you at all when you hear the fact that actually the terrorist attack was potentially bigger?
Well, I have, we're all familiar with the conspiracy, and I'll put it in quotes that what hit the Pentagon wasn't a plane, which means that if there was in fact a plane that had passengers on it, because obviously there was, that would have to be accounted for in some other way.
So if it was a missile that struck the Pentagon, the plane that ought to have been that one or that on paper should have been that one had lives on it, had to go somewhere else.
So now I'm interested in the TMZ article.
I have not heard yet this story that there was a fifth plane that was missing.
I'm still mildly blown away by the idea that was it United 93 that crashed over the field in Pennsylvania?
I just remember at the time being convinced by the arguments that now you have to go to war with Afghanistan, now you got to go with go to war with Iraq.
And the arguments were different.
But once you realize that the narrative was not exactly what you were told and might be wildly different, the world looks differently.
But when I understood later on in life that they might have, that it might have actually been shot down to avoid it attaining its target, civilian target, that was a dark, a dark potential pill for me to swallow.
Yeah, he's thoroughly convinced by this video footage that appears to be not debunked.
And even the debunking of it has proven to be debunked from what I understand.
So the original video of these three orbs circling a plane, I forget the exact technological explanation for what happened, but it involves wormholes and whatever.
But like the idea of a plane vanishing in thin air, despite the fact that they had it relatively well tracked, I'm not yet on the Ashton Forbes theory.
Considering nobody has had palatable ability to even slightly undermine his claims, like the problem is that skeptics have been trying to disprove him and have been unable to explain how this is not a like, and they verify the video.
It's not AI.
It's real by the pixelation, the frame rate.
Like this is like, look, here it is.
So what happened is, is here, this is just a really small version of it, but it was under heat monitor right here, the plane.
I just don't like, I just don't like how the right wing kind of pushes a lot of like random little conspiracy theories because it kind of feels like it muddies the water for the ones that are true.
I was just like, this is actually not a fundamental conspiracy theory.
This is like a credible story.
And this was like very controversial.
And the government would not deny its authenticity, that it was, that it was inauthentic.
Nobody will comment on it.
And they refuse to acknowledge it.
There's so many signs here that at least I can tell you this.
If it's not what they say it is, it is something and it is real.
But what is that real?
I think that, you know, when Trump mentions things like we have weapons that no one understands or knows, when they say things like, you'll never understand the technology we have.
When you're in science class and they tell you that there's, you know, we have the string theory, infinite universe is passing through us, you know, dark matter and light matter.
And you have like versions of yourself that exist at the same time in other dimensions.
And this is like science.
Like, you know, top universities, this is what they're teaching us.
And then what we come to understand in theoretical physics, I'm just saying I think that there's a lot more to the stories than meets the eye view.
Yeah, the plane disappears and vaporizes versus some technology that we don't yet know that exists based on a very pixelated video that can't be disproven.
And I don't know what you would need to do to prove the video fake.
But for the videos that we can, the technology that we have, you can make a video that looks wild and have it be undisprovable.
It's a little different than, I don't know, like Robert Malone or Peter McCall coming out and talking about vaccines when they've been working in the field and they have a little bit of credibility to know what they're talking about versus what some random guy goes on a show and is like, oh, look at this video of the plane.
So the thing is, all I was pointing out is, because we're supposed to be talking about the 9-11 video, is that there's a lot of things that are covered up.
My point is, it's like, why would we know about this?
We just found out 24 years later that they've covered up a fifth plane potentially from 9-11, which is so minor.
I talked to you guys about that when I was back at Blaze, about the executives coming to us, kind of, you know, saying if you change your tune on those little jabs, and you know, we can kind of continue the promotion and the pushing you and the algos.
And let's just say, allegedly, somebody did take that deal, which is why you didn't hear them really condemning those.
They just condemned mandates.
But we're not going to be like that.
We are here for when things hit the fan.
And so check it out.
Go to vanman.shop slash Elijah.
Buy some of these products for your friends and your family.
No, I want to watch the whole thing because it's way worth it.
This is really interesting.
It's like a mini doc.
Five minutes, 50 seconds, don't go anywhere.
Watch this.

Color.
Well-built gentleman in a tan suit.
A young boy about six to seven years old.
A woman in a najab.
And a gentleman that appeared to be a type of bodyguard.
My name is Sandy Thorngren.
I was a flight attendant on flight 23 on September 11th, 2001.
I was working in the business galley.
I had gotten out, walked down the aisleway going up to first class, and I noticed there were four people in first class.
What struck me at that time was there was a woman wearing a burqa.
I figured it was a woman because that's who wears that.
The opening of the headdress was very tight, and you could barely see his eyes.
I did explain to our purser that I thought that that wasn't a woman, it was actually a man.
I was absolutely convinced it was a man.
Absolutely.
There was no doubt in my mind.
It was a man.
And I could tell by the size of his hands.
He had hair on his hands.
It was definitely a male underneath that burka.
I went back to the business section and I looked around and I saw a gentleman sitting just sweating profusely.
Had a yellow t-shirt on.
It was odd because it was eight o'clock in the morning and airplanes are cold anyway, but it was it was a cool morning.
He wasn't jittery or anything, but I could see his face sweating, his body, his t-shirt was wet under his arms.
This was all happening sometime after 8.30 a.m. before the first plane hit the World Trade Center.
The flight attendants on United 23 saw things that seemed innocent enough then, but may have been anything but.
The gentleman in the tan suit, he asked the purser that he show his young son the cockpit and passengers were just not allowed in the cockpit anymore.
I walked up to first class again, and there was a child with one of the men, and they were just looking into the cockpit.
First class, we have a choice of meals, but usually only two food plates.
So I was trying to get catering to bring more fruit plates.
Trying to do that while people are boarding and getting settled was just a mess.
As the purser was trying to discuss this with the gentleman in the tan suit, he finally said it doesn't really matter.
The people that were in first class, they wanted to take off.
They didn't want to eat.
Our purser was determined that they get food because we had an extra long flight and nothing on our menu in first class was going to let them eat because she said everything has meat on it.
They were arguing with her that they didn't want to eat.
They wanted to take off.
They didn't want to eat.
And I could hear them say, we do not want to eat.
We don't need food.
We want to take off.
We don't need food.
We just want to go.
The first inkling I had of anything being different was the tug driver or the gentleman who
was going to push the airplane back said, hey, did you guys hear anything about a fire in the World Trade Center?
And I said, no, we have no way of hearing anything about it.
And we started our flight.
We taxied out about a quarter of the way around the airport.
And that was the second unusual thing I saw.
At that time, nine o'clock in the morning was a very, very quiet time.
So as I taxied around the corner, I noticed almost like Terra 11 airplanes in front of me, which I thought was highly unusual.
I'd never seen it.
I'd flown that flight a number of times and never seen more than two airplanes in front of me.
So had there only been a few planes waiting for takeoff, flight 23 may well have been airborne and quickly.
So, okay, that was a long video, but I thought it was important to watch because I don't think anyone's ever seen it before.
It's not one of these things that people have watched.
Essentially, there was a failed hijacking and what they didn't talk about, or they didn't talk about a lot, but I read more into it, is that like they, it was like as the buildings were being hit, the scene was going down before they took off.
And then armed officers, it wasn't specifying whether they were police or they were agents, federal agents, but they're both often at airports, you know, and they like ran and like raided the plane.
So this happened.
I've never heard about this before, that they were trying to get into the cockpit to start.
They wanted to view the cockpit.
They had a man dressed up as a woman.
I'm reminding you that that's very popular today, but it wasn't very popular in 2001.
But, you know, I want to know what your thoughts are on this because, you know, in terms of the Ashton Forbes stuff, you know, I just like to accept someone's claim, whether or not I think it's the best claim.
If someone cannot disprove it, I give them a chance to let them stand on it until it's disproven.
And then I will then accept the evidence against them.
For here, why this seems so important to me is that if we didn't hear about this and this was a hijacking, that would mean that 9-11 maybe wasn't an al-Qaeda terrorist attack, just only that, and that there's more to the story, which would be crazy.
Well, the way you were describing it initially, I thought there was a fifth plane that went down that was covered up.
That there might have been a fifth plane that could have been implicated or was part of the plan.
Much less hard of a conspiracy theory to accept.
The question is going to be whether or not this is part of what was not released or what is still classified information from 9-11 and whether or not they acknowledged it internally, or if it was, I don't know, steelman, something totally unrelated.
Haven't heard it, but the fact that there might have been a fifth plane that could have been involved or was on the verge of being involved but for the delays, that is not a hard black pill or conspiracy theory to swallow.
And there was a lot of questions when it comes to 9-11.
I mean, the way the tower came down, it looked like it was orchestrated the way, you know, even firefighters, I believe we have that video as well, were reporting that there was an explosion within the building.
Even Donald Trump, the guy we were talking about before, we have that recording as well, where he even goes off to say that there was an explosion.
I don't believe that Building 7 fell down as a result of the explanation that they gave.
For those who don't know, because I remember I was old when someone, it was like within the last five or six years, I'd say when I was doing this internet thing, someone said they found a passport at the base of the World Trade Center.
I was like, no, I never heard that.
And that is laughably unbelievable.
Yes, a passport belonging to Sattam Al-Sakami, a hijacker of Flight 11, was found near the World Trade Center after the 2011 attacks.
It was discovered by a passerby on Vista Street, a few blocks from the WTC and handed to a detective before the tower collapsed.
They're trying to have us believe that he had it on him.
The plane vaporized when it went into the building and projected his passport out into the building, landed on the ground.
Someone finds it and then says, I better give this to a police officer.
The FBI says NBC News is some distance from Ground Zero that a civilian found a passport lying on the street belonging to one of the suspected hijackers.
Sir, we found the passport belonging to one of the hijackers blocks away from the attacker.
Excellent work, special agent.
Free the five dancers at once.
Sir, what if someone just planted the passport there?
Yeah, that being said, let's talk about another story here before we jump into our culture section.
RiftTV.com, the number one source for news.
You can go to our website.
We have really good writers, you know, some really, really great people that are writing new reports every day.
Viva, as well, if you ever need articles for your show, we have about five to ten out every day.
So, good stuff.
And our writers are like, well, well-versed.
Like, that's like the previous editor-in-chief for Gateway Punt that's writing for us now and stuff.
So, I mean, these people have a lot of experience, 10, 20 years.
It's real stuff.
Check it out.
So, it turns out, leave it to the party of slavery and secession and socialism to reveal their true colors, pushing illegal immigration not for compassion, but to prop up a modern-day servant class.
A Vermont Democrat let the mask slip, and boy, did she step in it.
Representative Becca Belint, a Democrat of Vermont, sparked outrage after a town hall in Newport last week where she claimed President Trump's immigration crackdown would leave Vermonters without workers for menial tasks.
This is very, very nice.
Who's going to clean your toilets, Mr. Trump?
With all the grace of the bowl in a china shop, she's out here whining that without unchecked immigration, there won't be anyone to wipe our asses.
That's a real statement here.
If we don't have avenues for people to come here legally to work or to build a home here, I'm going to be cruly, really crude right now.
We're not going to have anybody around to wipe our asses because we don't have enough people in our country now to fill jobs that we have.
Listen to this.
unidentified
Labor, and of course, we have to come to a place in Congress where it is no longer a political issue, but we see it as an existential issue for the country.
If we don't have avenues for people to come here legally to work or to build a home here, I'm going to be really crude right now.
We're not going to have anybody around to wipe our asses because we don't have well, first of all, it means that she has no family that's going to take care of her in her second child.
I mean, this is, first of all, it's sick.
You have Joel, what's her name, Osmond?
Who's going to wipe your toilets?
You got that one.
You got Joel Osborne.
Then you go, is it Joel?
Whatever.
No, whatever her name is the other Osborne, the woman.
Then you got Jerry Nadler, who was talking about, if we don't have immigrants, the vegetables are going to rot in the fields.
And then you have Adam Kinzinger says, we don't have little people to screw in iPhones, so we're not going to make iPhones.
But what she's saying is, I'm going to say this, Democrats actually are about as real about race as I am.
And I guess that's because I kind of grew up around a Democrat area.
Like Democrats are the greatest segregationists ever.
Like in LA, the white people, the white Democrats just live around each other.
They do not like living around black people.
They do not like living around Hispanics.
They zone them out of the ability to even afford the tax bracket of where they live.
These people do not care.
They are looking for a feudalistic slave class.
So much so that I was talking to one of our interns here.
And I was like, why do they like in LA just like let Mexican gangs and El Salvadorian and like black gangs and these people commit so much crime?
And he's like, I think it's like they're so sadistic and evil that like they like to see the poor people suffer and kill each other because it makes them feel even better about their hoarding of the wealth and their like their feudalistic position.
Like how can you be an elitist without someone being less than you?
They need it.
They need to be within arm's reach.
I go, you know, that's an interesting theory.
I just think they're actually retarded because when you're a narcissist, the true individualists are the Democrats because the white Democrats, they're thinking about themselves, the Jewish and the white guys there in LA.
But on top of that, it's like, dude, there are people who need to do the low jobs, the entry-level jobs.
I studied law in Université Laval in Quebec City, and I had my law, labor law professor was Région Breton.
He had the most controversial idea that you're not supposed to pay a living wage to someone working at Walmart because it's not supposed to be a living job.
It's supposed to be a training job, a temporary job, a second job.
And it's not ever supposed to be the type of thing that you're supposed to be able to live off of.
It's a training thing so you can move on to bigger and better things.
The Democrats just say, well, no one wants to work for such cheap labor prices or whatever.
So bring in illegal immigrants who don't speak the language, who are easily exploitable.
And when Adam Kinzinger was talking about not being able to make iPhones manufactured here because no one wants those jobs, A, you're an elitist prick idiot because people will take those jobs.
I worked a factory from 11 o'clock at night to seven in the morning for a summer.
I did different jobs this summer.
That's not like I did that once, but I tried different jobs.
The point was, though, he says, like, you know, that's why we needed the Haitians in Springfield because we needed their labor.
Like, no, the people who are homeless in Springfield now, they would have taken the jobs, pay a reasonable amount, but you bring in foreigners who literally don't speak the language, and then you need translators in Springfield, Ohio to accommodate them so you can exploit them for cheap labor.
It's more because it's kind of true that I mean, young, you know, you graduate college, you're not going to go want to work in a factory or something like that.
You kind of want something better, or you won't want to work a job like that unless they're actually going to pay you enough where you can live.
So it's kind of true that Americans don't really want those jobs, but that's not necessarily because the job itself is bad.
It's just because they don't pay you enough and so you can't survive off it.
But if you're an Indian coming over, I'm sure you know, like in Canada, we have, there will be like five Indian families living in one home.
And then they'll, they'll like sublet their own, like one room in the basement to like a bunch of more Indians from Craigslist or something.
It's crazy.
So, and that's because they're willing to work for the, you know, what, like $16 an hour at Tim Hortons and they can't, no one can actually live off that without living in modern day indentured servants.
And this is why, you know, as much as everybody does love to blame the Jews for everything, because it's easy to do so, you know, a lot of things that are culturally in white communities are very self-destructive.
Okay.
So like it's very important to know what you can control.
So my point is, I'm saying, is like, you know, it's easy to talk about what we don't have control over and then get mad and then be maybe rightfully upset, but then fail to look at what we do have control over.
One of those things is like, look, I feel like I'm getting close to paying off my student loans, you know, about $200,000 to go to school because my father told me to go to a school.
I didn't know how much it cost.
He told me he was going to pay for it.
And then I left with $200,000 of the loans and I have to pay those.
I'm down below $30,000 now, thankfully.
But, you know, I've been out of school for a few years and that's been a lot of money.
You know, it's hard to pay down that amount of money.
I don't want that for my children.
So what am I doing now?
You know, I believe that a woman should stay home.
So rather than just getting mad and be like, oh, you have to have two incomes to survive.
I have found an alternative way of living and of making money that allows me to do what I believe.
And the same goes with like our generations, you know, especially my girls, you know, which I'll have.
I have two boys.
They can live in my house as long as they want until they get married, right?
Because I want them under my authority.
I feel like as a man, as a dad, you're handing off your woman to the authority of another man.
And that's the signification of marriage.
It's like, you know, there's nothing sexual about this.
There's nothing.
You are an authority over your daughter.
People get all weird about.
What do you mean?
She's submissive to you.
No, when your daughter's submissive to you, she's under the authority of God and you.
And then she goes to another man, it goes under their authority to then procreate and to keep your family line going.
There's nothing weird about that with the guys, but people go, then why do you kick them out at 18?
Misfit Patriot degrees.
He says, everyone who's a loser who doesn't move out at 18, because I did, and life was horrible for years, but I still survived.
It's the pseudo-sense of independence where I can leave and either, you know, live not below my means, but live at disgusting means.
And I don't mean that in a judgmental sense, like sleeping in the back of your truck, it's not ideal.
It's where bad things happen, violence, and crime and whatever.
But people like to pretend they're independent.
So they go and get an apartment and then they get money from their parents, but they're not living an independent lifestyle or they're still being taken care of just with the pretext that they're independent.
Well, that's another, what people do to make their own money.
But no, the one thing is no one, no matter how much you pay them, will ever take care of your parents the way children would or children should, assuming they have a good relationship.
And so the more money you pay a stranger to take care of your parents, it's a very fancy nursing home.
The more money they're going to know that you have, the more they're going to, you know, I'd say want to get out of the relationship somehow through extra charges, but no one's going to take care of your parents the way the children should or will.
And so that this experience that?
Well, my grandmother was in a home.
It was two blocks away and a little more than two blocks away.
And, you know, even then, you know, you see people waking up with bed sores and then you wonder how that was a rapid decline that you have when they go to these places.
My grandfather as well, he went to like an old folks home and then immediately is a rapid decline from there.
They weren't taking care of him as well.
You know, as far as like, even he had dementia, you know, being away from the family, that started getting even worse because you have to have the same kind of, you know, how could you say it?
Like you have to have the same different things you do that are exactly the same.
And then what happens when they have these same routines, that's why it's good for them to have a pet.
It's good for them to have the family around and it's good for them to keep up.
But when they go to these different places, like these, these elderly homes, they're just abused most of the time.
We see it time and time again.
But then in other countries, what you have is that they actually, and I'm not rooting for all of their countries, but I'm saying in other countries, they have a thing where they, you know, family is very oriented.
The kids grow up and they save money and they're able to go out and be on their own.
I grew, I moved out at a young age as well.
I actually moved out at 14 and it was like on and off.
It was a little bit of a crazy story.
But yeah, I mean, it's very important to have a tight-knit family.
So this way, when the kids come out of the home, that they actually have a chance against the world versus being like, okay, we have to just follow what the normal is of just kicking them out at 18 or whatever it may be.
I remember I had to take this stupid liberal sociology class in college and it was about family violence.
But I was shocked actually because I did a project on the nursing home abuse and it's crazy how common it actually is for neglect to happen in nursing homes.
Like so many people die because they're being neglected.
They're not being given their medication, even the high-end ones where they, and you do have to basically pay more for better care too.
So it's just, I find that really sad.
I feel like no one really talks about that.
The fact that we're just pushing all of our elderly into these homes and their kids aren't ever visiting them or anything.
And then they're just getting abused and neglected.
Yeah, my grandfather just died a couple months ago.
It was actually a pretty brutal death.
And, you know, for a while, we only had to put him into a home because he refused.
I told him, I had a straight up conversation with him.
I said, you hard-headed bitch.
I'm not joking, but that's like, Luda, I said, I said, you don't know what you're doing.
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I'm telling you, if you do not come with me out to Florida or you don't go with my dad in Texas, I'm going to have to put you in a home because I can't take care of you in California while I'm over there with my family, but I'm giving you the option.
You know, he's like, I don't need anybody or whatever.
And it broke my heart because, you know, he was like, he wouldn't, he refused to do it.
So he was in a home, but my grandma was there with him every day because my grandma's frail and older.

Like, comment, and we'll get into some Dave Portnoy crash outside.
And the question on free speech.
We'll get into that in a moment.
we'll be right back
welcome back of the show I am your host tonight, Elijah Schaefer.
We are having a great discussion.
We've already talked about Jeffrey Epstein, which is why, of course, I got the stash going.
We talked about the fifth plane on 9/11.
We talked about our grandparents dying.
Yeah.
Oops.
Not fun.
But of course, that's why you watch this show Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern.
And we have bonus content every Saturday.
We have a new almost series coming out this Saturday.
And then we have our new book club, which I'll talk about at the end of the show, that's free to join.
But it might not be free to join.
Plus, we're giving away a new brand new Kindle this Sunday.
It'll be an opportunity at 7 p.m. Eastern time to join the book club.
You know, before quick note, for just in the future, throw me in the future where Sarah is and throw Sarah over there since she's looking kind of straight.
When I'm like looking at this guest, yeah, it's like I'm like kind of on the other side.
Dave Portenoy has been in the news recently having catastrophic crash outs.
I'm going to say we have a shorter clip here.
Yeah, here we go.
He was on a podcast, and Dave wants to remind you that you too can get rich by promoting gambling, alcohol, and drugs to your audience, also known as the exact things we sell on this show.
Jokes aside, of course, we have very much dark humor on the show, but this is a really interesting topic of the intersection between accusations of racism, free speech, humor, and also just being annoyed by somebody.
Yeah, not even, it's a reference to an event that happened at his particular club.
And it wasn't, look, people are actually going on the streets saying F the Jews, but it's an entirely different demographic and different circumstances.
This, first of all, I don't find it offensive.
I wouldn't give one sweet bug a roll.
When he flipped out about that or said, you know, this represents Toronto, it's like, no, it doesn't.
It represents the incident that happened at your place.
Correct.
Ironically enough, when the guy said, you know, bought the, whatever, the sign and posted it to his Instagram.
And then Dave Portnoy arguably makes what I thought might have been an inappropriate joke.
I'm going to send them to Auschwitz.
I was like, the way you said that, you knew that it was humoristic and intent.
And some might say crass.
But no, this set aside everything, I don't know if the other guy's in on the shtick because nobody even.
No, first of all, the idea is idiotic that you can't make the humor when something bad is going on in the world.
I mean, that's antithetical to what humor is, where you make the humor in light of what is current events and in light of what is edgy under the circumstances.
Although I just, I don't find it edgy.
Fuck the Jews.
Ha ha.
But him flipping on saying, you can't make Jew jokes now because there's an ins because there's politics involving Jews and acts of anti-Semitism or vandalism.
It's idiotic.
And I think it's also counterproductive because to say that, all that it does, and if he's not familiar with the not the Mandela effect, the Streisand effect, you say, oh, you can't make jokes because of what's going on in Israel or, you know, vandalism?
We're going to make 10 times more.
And they're going to be 10 times worse than they were before.
Well, it's pretty much the same argument that liberals make about how you can't say the N-word because it's like, oh, you're going to, it's not just a word, though, because of the context, because of America and our history with slavery and Jim Crow laws and blah, blah, blah.
And so you can't say that one word because it's not just a word.
It's like, yeah, that's kind of the same thing Dave Portnoy is doing with F the Jews.
It's never, if it's limited to freedom of speech and it's not real threats or in Canada, hate speech, it's never.
Grow up and deal with it.
And the more you get triggered to use the cliche by it, the more people are going to do it to trigger you because quite clearly, it's almost funny to watch the meltdown.
I just have to say, the N-word and the C-word are words that I don't think ever have a legitimate place of being used.
That's why, you know, you also have how comedy has been limited, what people can actually say.
That's why you have shows like Kill Tony, which are doing very well because of the fact that people are coming out and they're being, you know, using a type of humor that they're not worried about offending, but it's also in a good way that they're joking with each other.
I don't know if that's what that guy was doing there, but it did seem like he was just referencing what happened before.
But as far as this, anytime talking about, you know, anything to do with Israel, you know, it's not even him who's trying to limit the speech.
We even have our current administration who's doing it.
You know, they're vetting people's Instagrams before they come to the country and it's not vetting for any other hate speech.
They're just vetting if you say anything bad about Israel.
No, watch a little more of this because this is where I think it is really important.
And I feel like, Viva, you've been one of the few outspoken people, you and Dave Smith, that are Jewish, that have been like, hey, listen, being offended isn't illegal, you know, like in general, like, you know, all these people can hate Jews and hate people.
And I'm sure it doesn't feel good waking up knowing people hate you for who you are.
And sometimes, you know, when black people don't like white people, sometimes I understand.
Sometimes I think it's ridiculous.
Sometimes I get it.
You know, there's certain, but depending on what happened to you in America, I could consider why maybe you don't really like whites.
But at the same time, you know, going down the road, I'm also realistic in the fact that just because I don't like a lot of this anti-white stuff in our country, just because I don't think it should be so prevalent and we should do something about it.
I don't think it's what we should do is make it illegal.
I think it's a very dangerous thing to make it illegal to not like somebody by their race because there's races that I don't like too, which is the human race.
Portnoy is obviously and objectively in the wrong.
What's going on in the world has nothing to do with jokes.
And some might say that creating not special classes, but trying to prohibit the humor and trying to prohibit the speech actually exacerbates the exact problem you're trying to prevent.
I say, not jokingly, the ADL has done more to exacerbate anti-Semitic sentiment than any help they've ever done under their purported guiding principles.
So Portnoy, on the one hand, I don't want to impugn his intentions.
Maybe he sincerely believes what he's saying.
Maybe he was overreacting in the moment.
Maybe he thinks it's the virtuous position to take.
But the real life violence against anybody, any group does not have to do with humorous speech.
And, you know, getting to the, what do you say?
Like, I've never supported these anti-what is it called? Divest boycott.
And I don't want this to get into, like, I want to be careful, especially on this show.
Like, I don't want this audience to be just people who, you know, just hate Jews and want to, you know, make crazy statements about, you know, Hitler and the Jews all in the comments.
I want to have real conversations about controversial subjects in a way that's helpful.
If it's mean, if it's rude, if people interpret it as, you know, hateful, racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, whatever.
I don't care what they interpret it as.
I want to know if we're talking about something truthfully.
And the truth is, is that, yeah, a lot of people are like, oh, yeah, he's wrong.
But the reality is, is he's shielding himself with his Jewishness, which is a very big problem that a lot of Jewish people do is like when they're wrong, they're like, oh, it's because you're anti-Semitic.
And that's what he's accusing the guy of.
You want those jokes because you think it's good that people hate the Jews.
He's like, I'm not saying that.
You watch the rest of the interview.
We won't watch it.
It's like, I'm not saying that.
I'm not saying it's like, no, because you, because I'm Jewish and you want them to hate me.
And it's like, no, this is not an anti-Jewish argument.
There is real anti-Semitism and then there's criticism, which is which is fair.
There's also anti-Semitism is protected by the First Amendment.
That is protected speech.
Of course, threats to kill, you know, F the Jews could be interpreted as you want to have sex with them and you think the girls are hot, which they are.
So that's a possibility, Joey.
I'll concede that.
But, you know, the way I think people are mad about is that right now, it's not just Dave Portenoy, you know, lashing out.
This is the official position that the administration, Trump administration is taking right now to fight against the First Amendment.
They're saying anti-Semitism is a special form of speech that can be policed, can be outlawed.
You know, you have the International IRHA, is that International IHRA, International Holocaust Remembrance Association, standards being adopted in Florida, in South Dakota, et cetera, to limit what speech constitutes hate speech.
I think it's a slippery slope.
I think if you just hate an entire group of people for no reason, you're an asshole.
If you hate a group of people for a reason, then, you know, tell me why.
But most importantly, you're allowed to do that.
So the fact that Jews would get a special treatment, that's what Dave is arguing for.
First of all, people are free to hate and you can't make them love you and you sure as hell can't tell them who they have to love or who they can't hate.
There are a number of groups that are protected.
There aren't.
Look, you can't get out there and publicly say certain things about the 2SLGBTQIA plus community without getting canceled.
You can't really say things against the black community without getting canceled.
But the issue is cloaking yourself in your identity to shield you from criticism is a problem.
Also, apparently, they modeled the bankers in the Harry Potter series after Chuck Schumer.
Real fast, I'm laughing because we always say this when I said, hey, I don't want the audience to just be a bunch of people spamming the chat with like anti-Jewish stuff.
I don't care, but I was on with Pisco Levy on his channel.
We had a crowd there.
Holy shit.
Yeah, it was distracting to read the chat because it's weird when people look at you and because of what they already think about you, they think you're a liar.
They think you're of bad faith.
And you'll never say anything that they believe, even if they agree with it.
Because I know that once we started talking about certain issues where I'm not as cut and dry as Portnoy per se, I'm not quite as on the same wavelength as Dave Smith.
Then they're like, oh, okay, so he's a reasonable one.
But now he says something I don't like, so it's because he's a Jew.
It's the type of people that genuinely cause people to hate groups of people because they purport to represent them and they act like the scum of the earth.
The irony, like when people say this, there's Jews control everything.
Exaggeration, it's what people see what they want to see.
Flip side, you can't deny the statistical overrepresentation in certain fields.
And it's a source of pride on the one end.
Like you say, oh, look how many Jews or half Jews have won Nobel Peace Prizes.
Okay, that's called statistical overrepresentation.
And then people say, well, on the one hand, they might be more Jewish Nobel Prize recipients because it's the club.
But it's a weird thing.
People like statistical overrepresentation when it's good.
And when they think it's being used as a criticism, then it becomes anti-Semitism.
And so, look, there's statistical overrepresentation.
Roman Salute said there's a video out of Dave doing a pizza review, and someone absolutely F'd the Jews in the background and he immediately started giving the people SHIT fruit behind him who laughed.
He used to be funny from Longuis, just outside of Montreal.
If anybody doesn't know rapist glasses or regular guy, he used to do some funny comedic bits, but he had a pedophile beard was one of his skits as well.
Someone said it was pointless profanity, but his best skit ever.
And also said, Elijah came straight from the blue oyster bar tonight.
What reference is that?
I don't know.
All right.
Obviously, you know, usually in the future, people said, like, when are we going to do like the SHIT streams, kind of like useless banter?
That'll probably end up happening occasionally, but those are going to be nights where we leave YouTube after the first hour and then go over to Rumble.
Because especially with the slow news, Dam, I just think, hey, we're only going to be on YouTube for 45 minutes, talking about the news, and then we're going to just go have some fun and talk about, you know, contentious videos that'll probably get advertisers to leave over on Rumble.
And then that video gets deleted in the morning when our ad agent says, the hell are you thinking, brother?
My guests today are amazing.
I really appreciate the people in this room.
You know, there's very few people.
I brought up today a very unpopular tweet of Dave Rubin in Tella or in Jerusalem.
And I said, you know, Dave was always nice to me, despite the problems people have with his life choices and, you know, the trafficking of the children and those types of things.
Very, very, very obscure, very minor things.
I said, you know, a lot of people don't have, don't like some of my life choices.
One thing I knew that I missed was that there was a time when Dave would have me on his show.
He would come on my show, and we would have these arguments like whether gay people should adopt, you know, and the like real, real, real arguments people wanted to hear.
And it breaks my heart now that people like Dave that were like, you know, arbiters of free speech of the truth, just block anyone that disagrees with their views on Israel.
Yeah, so I'm saying it's like it's not that I've, by the way, never blocked anybody on Twitter.
I blocked that as of today.
I mean, I don't plan on doing it anyhow.
Mute is easy.
Let them talk and let people hear their nonsense.
I don't have to.
I would not blame, I would understand if you accuse someone of trafficking for having adopted children, that they would block you.
And I didn't, I didn't even appreciate that argument because to call that trafficking and then heterosexual couples who adopt or do IVF not trafficking.
I think there is a double standard there that, although I would find it offensive, I would still have the discussion.
But I would not blame, I would not necessarily be surprised if someone blocked after someone suggested that they traffic children in terms of adopting children between same-sex couples.
That's one of the I really do believe in circumcision.
I think people have taken the anti-Jewish stuff a little too far.
There's medical reasons for it.
I know everyone hates that.
Everyone hates that.
And I said two terrible things to Shlomo666 today.
I don't want people just spamming anti-Jewish stuff all chat and actually have real discussions.
And I also believe in circumcision.
It's the worst thing ever.
You can't watch the show anymore.
It sucks.
I'm so sorry.
But anyway, my name is Elijah Schaefer.
You can follow me at locals, ElijahSchaefer.locals.com.
That's where our bonus content is going to be hosted.
So what will happen is in the future, a lot of times every episode, we'll be doing a bonus section at the end.
We're going to wait until our channel is monetized before we do that because I want to make sure that we are being really safe right now as we go through the show, keeping things intellectual, above board, because that's the reality.
That'll be there on locals.
Join there today.
It is very important.
I said we were probably going to have our own platform.
Maybe we will.
Maybe we won't, but we are going to keep locals going.
That is going to be around.
So I appreciate you guys supporting there.
Again, you can follow me all around the internet, Instagram.
We have great reels.
Our editor, Joey, he already has a reel out of you talking about Epstein from this show with all the graphics and everything while we're live on the air.
Let's get a round of applause for our editor, Joey.
He already has clip.
This clip's out from tonight on X from him while we're live.
So what a good guy.
We really appreciate it.
I just want to remind you guys this.
So I like to give updates about the network and the show because a lot of you guys, you know, you see the chat, we're really like tight-knit group, right?
There's only usually a couple thousand of us watching live every night.
It's not the biggest group in the world.
We've never appealed to the mass audiences.
We've never been this like generic take.
We always have pretty raw and real conversations.
We let you hit it raw every night at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
There's been a lot of changes.
One thing that we're doing, though, is we're trying to not do as many serious changes.
We're trying to keep things consistent.
One of the things that helps you with is that we're going to have new content seven days a week at 7 p.m. Eastern Time on all of our platforms.
That's very easy to follow.
Now, on Saturdays, we have our show, which is a one-on-one interview that Viva will come back around.
It's very popular.
People love it.
It does extremely well.
We get into people's lives, their controversial viewpoints, their things that they care about.
We don't have a lot of podcasts like that on the right wing anymore.
Those are just like liberal podcasts, but I love that.
And that's on Saturdays at 7 p.m.
And then on Sundays, starting this, can you go grab your book real fast?
Starting this Sunday at 7 p.m. Eastern Time, we are starting our first book club.
I recommend that everybody buys a Kindle.
You can download the Kindle version on your phone.
The first book is Where the Right Went Wrong by Patrick J. Buchanan.
You don't, you just need to get the book by like before two weeks from now because this Sunday, the episode we're going to release, probably gonna be short, 30, 40 minutes.
We're gonna be talking about Patrick Buchanan.
We'll do a first episode always about like the author's life, some of their controversial moments, why they're important, the things that they've done, and talking about some of the themes of the book, right?
About this is about how neocons took over.
The pro-war side took over the right.
Now they've switched to the left, but it's a uniparty.
You can check that out.
Sarah, right there.
Again, it's where the right went wrong.
I really, again, I'm going to say this.
One person, it's like a $200 value is going to get a free Kindle sent to them to read.
And I went ahead today and did something not financially responsible and got Kindles for everyone in the office that was already here that reads Kindles because she does real books.
So get a Kindle because you can get on your computer, your phone, and start reading.
I know a lot of you are not readers and I'm rambling a little bit, but I want to remind you that this is why we got to change this group now.
We are kind of retards.
We are kind of slow and we need to actually get books out and read and write and talk about them.
So over four weeks, we will read after this next week.
There'll be one, two, three, basically, and then four, another four weeks after we intro the book to where we will start to read and talk about it.
So it's going to be a lot of fun.
I really appreciate you guys.
No one's going to be telling you that you have to do it.
It's not homework.
This is a time to just start impressing yourself, your friends.
You can read a book.
Isn't that crazy?
One's in the chat if you have not read a book in the last year.
It's probably everyone, except for the women.
My guests today, tell us who you are and how we can support you, how we can follow you as we should follow our guests and subscribe to their channels.
I have a new video coming out tomorrow talking about abortion and if women should be punished for it, and your last video was on uh was was uh, you talking about your time on Timpool, which is like your first big podcast.
I can attest, by the way, I so I used to get an awesome skin fade back in Canada and it was at a barbershop that was run by black guys and the first time I saw them doing it and I was too shy to say like, don't do that thing.
And then they did the thing and it was.
I don't.
I don't know why.
It's a stylistic, uh way of cutting the hair, but I uh, the next show i'll make sure to have your hair on, i'll get the wig, i'll blow it out.
