Tucker released his interview with Senator Ted Cruz, and obviously, to no one’s surprise - except maybe the Senator from Texas himself - a lot of the interview focused on Israel and their influence over American foreign policy. Ted was seemingly unprepared for the exchange, and the internet is up in a frenzy over it - did Tucker end his career, or will business go on as usual?

Well, you're breaking news here because the U.S. government last night denied, the National Security Council spokesman Alex Pfeiffer denied on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's behalf in any offensive capacity.
But, you know, it turns out that maybe our government knows less about what's going on in the Middle East than they do about their determination to fight wars for a foreign country.
I've seen more politicians in the last 30 hours, I should say, tweet about Jewish people, anti-Semitism, Israelis, Israel, and the war to exterminate radical Islam and the Mulahs than I have in the last three months, three years, heard them talk about helping Christians, helping the white founding stock of this country,
helping Europeans with their problem with Islam, or even helping American interests back home.
My name is Elijah Schaefer.
Welcome to another episode of The Rift, Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern Time, only on RiftTV.com.
You can find us on RumbleX and our new YouTube channel.
It's in the link and in the description.
Make sure you follow it.
It is brand new.
The numbers are going up.
Be a part of the revolution here where we tell you the truth, unfiltered, no longer financed by foreign countries except Qatar.
So that's it.
Everything except.
Anyway, we have a great show for you today.
We're talking about this heated exchange between Tucker Carlson and Senator Ted Cruz, who ran away during COVID in Texas.
I remember that I was living there at the time.
But also, we're going to be talking about a lot of other stories that have been developing, plus some more updates on what happened in the riots in LA, the planned chaos, and so much more here on another episode.
Let's get some confetti of color, as I mentioned, when we don't have anybody of the right color on the show.
The diversity isn't as strong as we need.
We make sure we always bring the color to the show.
Thank you for coming all over me here tonight.
Speaking of that, my guests today, sorry, I'm feeling a little bit frisky because it turns out we're playing cat and mouse.
We're flirting.
Senator Ted Cruz and Tucker were flirting a little bit.
Everyone thought it was contentious.
I thought it was playful.
I was waiting for Senator Ted Cruz to pull Tucker's hair and say, stop that.
Come on, stop that.
That's kind of what Mark Levin has been doing with Lindsey Graham.
They've been swimming in pools together, kissing a lot of crazy stuff.
There's a lot of relationships happening, but most of which we're going to talk about tonight is this breakdown of the pro-war, pro-Zionist regime that has taken a hold of our country, as Buchanan warned.
And the movement of what we consider to be the new right, what's happening here.
This is a huge, huge international conversation.
It's not even fringe.
Joining me today, our guest, a panelist, you can go ahead and introduce yourself.
He's been in office for 300 years, it feels like always changing positions, except they're not the kind of positions that get me heated up, but they definitely get the war machine going.
You know what I mean?
It's like the Kama Sutra for the military-industrial complex.
Ted Cruz will bend every and any way for just a few dollars.
He's a cheaper than a Thailand ladyboy.
Speaking of that, also behind the producer's desk.
He could probably fix that internally for you here.
Unfortunately, when it comes to my personal life problems, Brian can't do much there.
No one can, actually.
But we got to talk about the story because I feel like there's so much depth to break down in this interaction between Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson.
The first of which is that everybody that wants this war in Iran has been trying to convince me for the last 48 hours that Tucker Carlson is irrelevant.
He's a crackpot.
He's a moron.
I think they call him Tucker Katarlson is what they're calling him now.
Something like that.
But the most important part is that for some reason, for someone who's lost all of his steam and needs a network to be a part of, I checked in just one of the clips of several already did 25 million views.
That's insane numbers.
I feel like we got to start by breaking down the fact Tucker is not irrelevant.
And it's going to be like when people say like Britney Spears is irrelevant.
She's falling off in like 2001.
You're like, but you're talking about her.
So, how is she irrelevant?
Because this is a relevant show and you're talking about her.
Tucker Carlson knows what he's doing.
And the reason why they're mad at him is not because he's irrelevant, it's because he is relevant.
What he says does has impact.
And even though they claim, like Steven Crowder said, it's not dividing his base, the base is divided.
And there is a side, and a side is Jack Pesobic, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, myself, Nick Fuentes, a lot of people, whether from the far right to the center right.
And then there's the other guys, which are the never Trumpers, the neocons, the warmongers, the people who were never a part of this party, who mocked us, who told us we would never be here.
They put Cheeto dust on their face and they said that this country was not for us.
And now all of a sudden, they're the real MAGA, and we're not.
Do you see that's what that's what's happening here?
Well, I think there's actually a third category too, which is, you know, there are people who kind of want to talk about the issue.
They want to talk about Iran versus Israel, but they don't really want to get into the weeds of it because they know that would require them to say some things that may disqualify them from certain, you know, funding.
And not even necessarily that, but rather it might kind of alienate some of their base or some of their support, whether they're a show host or they're in politics.
To some degree, they know that that's going to hurt them.
So I do think that there's a lot of people who see what's going on for the first time, maybe ever, with Iran and Israel, who, you know, either don't understand the issue, but I think primarily do understand it, but don't want to take a side.
And I think a lot of the people you mentioned actually fall into that category.
And we kind of talked about that yesterday on the show, so I don't want to get too into it, but I do think like Charlie, Jack, and even people like Tucker, to some degree, fall into that middle category.
I don't think Tucker really, other than this time, has been really that adamant about, you know, either which way, whether he's pro-Iran, pro-Israel, whatever.
Pro-I mean, obviously, the correct position is to be America first if you're in America and you're an American citizen.
But I think, like I was saying before, it's just he has never had to answer for that.
And that is concerning that these people that have been representing us, they don't actually know what they're supporting.
They don't actually know what they're voting for.
And that should concern every single American, regardless of what side you are on this conflict.
I mean, you should be rooting for your own country, not Iran, not Israel.
Unfortunately, that's not the case.
But how is it possible that this guy who's been who's voted several, you know, I can't even count how many times he's voted for legislation in favor of Israel or against Iran, he doesn't even know what he's voting for.
And as far as trying to bring up old tweets going back to 2012, I mean, how many of us actually fell blindly to what we were taught when we were in school, told that we had to follow Israel's allegiance with America without any question.
And the part that I loved about the interview is that the talking points that these people love to use and that they always go to, they expect us to file blindly.
And we're not doing that anymore.
So when Tucker gave him the pushback, and you can see his brain kind of like melting and then eventually getting to the point where he's talking about Tucker, not calling him anti-Semitic, but hinting towards the fact that Tucker could be anti-Semitic.
And then Tucker turned that around him, you know, as well.
So the American people, we're sick and tired of just being told that, you know, these talking points are the reasons why we need to move forward, you know, that Israel is our number one alliance, that every country that Israel is against has nuclear weapons.
And it was never about nuclear weapons.
What it really comes down to is all these countries is just regime change.
What they want to do is they want to go ahead and make sure that they have full control of the Middle East.
And we're seeing that more and more.
And we don't want our sons and daughters to die for it.
If you just joined this, Tucker just got up in a gotcha moment.
Now, before I play this next clip, I just want to remind you: everyone's like, we said gotcha moment in the title, not because we thought it was a gotcha moment.
They're trying to discredit Tucker, saying he's a hack.
We'll look at a meme even that they brought up, which is even funnier.
But the point is, is that the entire right-wing media sphere was built by Milo Yiannopoulos, who to this day, I think, was one of the most talented people that we had in the beginning that stirred up a lot of this free speech fight, right?
And I think he did a really damn good job.
He's one of the people who inspired me to get involved in this.
I really appreciate it.
Why we have some of the same mannerisms?
That is up for question.
However, the funnier part about this is who else was a part of this?
Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro.
Their entire platform was: A, go into an environment of a debate, sit down with an 18-year-old college student, ask them a question about the basic question of something they felt so passionately about.
Okay, you're very passionate about communism.
You're very passionate about socialism.
Where has communism worked?
And then they would say, unironically, one student said, Star Trek.
I remember that one.
And then we would laugh.
Ha You know, faker than my two-year-old son's laugh when he tries to play along.
We'd laugh and go, wow, what an effing moron these kids are.
That was great.
They didn't even know that.
We're better than them.
We're elite.
And everyone celebrates it.
To this day, they celebrate it.
And then Tucker does it to someone who should be educated and goes, well, you know, like I mentioned, what's the population of Iran?
He said, I don't know.
Look, I could have guessed.
I would have said about 70 to 115 million.
I was like, I don't know.
It's probably close to 100 million.
I know it's a huge country, one of the largest countries in the world, but I don't know an exact number.
That's all I would say.
I'd say, look, I don't know.
If you're a senator, you should know that question because you should at least kind of understand what's going on.
However, he lost.
So then he turns it into a religious argument.
Do you see this clip?
He turns into a religious argument and says, Well, actually, it doesn't matter what their population is.
It doesn't matter what's going on here.
We need to bomb the shit out of them.
I've always said that.
It's like, that's what they're saying, right?
So he's like, we need to kill brown people in their weddings because the Bible.
So this is actually a really important conversation.
And I really hope this is where the show, The Riff, can weigh in on this.
We're not coming at this from an anti-Semitic position.
There's nothing here to try to assume that Jews are bad people, that because you're Jewish, that God does not love you, because God loves his church, that he ever stopped loving the Jewish people.
That's not what I think anyone is even trying to say.
Tucker's just bringing this up.
So you're telling me that the reason why we need to bomb Iran, because this is like a very contextual thing, is because in Genesis, he said that basically we need to bless Israel.
Now, technically, the kingdom of Israel wouldn't have even fully existed in its own right, right?
There's different epochs we know of, right?
I mean, if you're going down to the Davidic time, right?
If you're going down to the Solomonic, you're going down to what, Judah and Israel.
So do we bless the kingdom of Judah, the kingdom of Israel?
Which kingdom was it before it split after?
Obviously, we know early church teachings, including the Protestant Revolution, are very much under the same reliability that God's chosen people is those who believe in Christ and that they were God's chosen because they had the lineage of Jesus Christ, that Christ was to come from them.
And yet I see pastors today saying, one pastor said that Jesus has that the savior of the world currently has Jewish blood going through him.
Theoretically, since not all Israelis even call themselves Jewish, one IDF soldier was on talking to Fuentes and Alex Jones, and he said, yeah, no, I'm not Jewish.
I'm Israeli.
I'm a Christian.
So modern day Jews don't all identify as Jewish.
Someone say I'm Christian and I'm Israeli or I am Hebrew by ethnicity or Ashkenazi or whatever they want to say.
And they make a delineation, a differentiation.
But he clearly asked him, do you think that Israel of the Bible to bless is the current modern state of Ashkenazis and Sephardics that have come together and established this place?
What I want to know is this, since it didn't always exist, again, it didn't exist.
How are you supposed to follow the Bible for those 1500 years, 1600 years or more?
Well, these are the talking points that I hate the most because what they're trying to do is they're manipulating the Bible in order to gather all the Christians to fight their wars for them.
You know, they love to talk about the Old Testament and what's in that, but they always forget to talk about the New Testament.
The New Testament talks about how those who choose Jesus will make their way to God.
You know, that's the in-between.
That's the veil that was torn.
But what we find is back in like, it was 1909 in the Oxford University when the Schofield Bible came out is when you've seen a real big push once again for us to say Israel is the chosen people.
You had a bunch of Jewish influence.
And I'm not against all Jews.
I just, you know, Israeli government big time, but you had a big push into the churches where these Bibles were handed out.
People were being manipulated to believe that they have to do endless support for Israel.
You know, God wants us to love thy neighbors and be one as a family, not go and destroy countries and commit genocide just in order to get your point across and to take full control.
So it's really disappointing.
It's really heartbreaking when you see that, like how the church has been manipulated in a way that they're going to go ahead and just cheer on, you know, whatever happens.
They don't care because it's God's will.
Drop as many bombs as you want.
It's God's will.
And we're not talking about the original Israel.
I mean, what we're talking about is a place that was actually the Rothschilds and the Belfort Agreement came in and then had Israel recreated and dropped right in the middle where you had Palestine and everything else where there was a feud between the two of them.
So it's not the original Israel we're talking about here.
I don't know if you want to weigh in on this, but I want people to understand.
This is not a, this is not about, I'm not going to let people pull us or the show into their stupid blood feuds or their pro- or anti-Jewish sentiment.
That's not what this is about.
I want people to understand that there are politicians who think the Bible commands us to go bomb other countries.
They think God has commanded us as Americans that we were established and that it's our, as a Christian nation, we are a Christian nation, which is true.
One nation under God.
Okay.
We were founded by Protestants.
It was even difficult to think of having a Catholic president.
It still was somewhat controversial.
Up until the last century, it was to have a Catholic, you know, because we were Protestant.
And you look down here and he goes, the reason why we are founded is to be Christian.
And to be Christian means we drop bombs for a country founded several hundred years after ours.
That is the most interesting admission, which I've seen done by Lauren Bobert, Rick Scott, Randy Fine, and others who have said, this is not about nationalism.
This is about faith.
And before being America first, which most Christians would agree, you serve God the Father, and that our rights, what, are given to us by who?
By God, not the king.
So their ideology is that our salvation of our nation and our blessings from God to continue to enact in our rights are dependent on how many bombs we drop for the government of Netanyahu.
And I think it's actually more disgusting to see this kind of, or hear this rhetoric rather from a Zionist Christian rather than a Jewish person.
Because at least a Jewish person, it's like, you have a tie to this.
This is like your homeland.
Even though I disagree, I think you should clearly see what's going on here, regardless of your religion, religion, or ethnicity.
But it's worse because Christians who call themselves Christians rather, because I don't think this is a very Christian thing to do, but I'm not here to judge your faith or what you are.
But it's disgusting that a Christian, quite frankly, would twist the word of God this way and manipulate or at least attempt to manipulate other American Christians, which, like you mentioned, is the majority of America still.
So it's worse hearing this from someone like Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz is honestly disgusting for doing this.
He's disgusting.
He's a disgrace to American Christians because clearly he's got something else that he's defending.
He's protecting.
And that would obviously be whoever's funding him.
I think he is funded by APEC.
I don't know exactly how much, but I know he's been exposed several times for that.
So you hear this all the time.
And at least somebody look, even it actually might be worse than somebody like Randy Fine.
And obviously they're both bad, but at least with Randy, it's like, okay, you're a Jew.
Like when you see a black politician sort of taking a tribalistic, like BLM approach or Rashida Talaib or, you know, sort of taking this, you know, pro-Sudanese, you know, pro-Eastern African, you know, identity.
Well, that makes sense with my understanding of the world.
People are tribal.
People do back up their own, their own ethnicity.
I get why a Hispanic Republican may still be sensitive about the deportations because it might be one of their family members that came over.
No, but I, but I, but I, it's like, Mendoza has been deported like 12 times from the show.
They always do it.
No, but, but I understand that.
But you're saying it's like, hey, you're a white Christian guy.
Why are you adopting a foreign religion and ethnic view of your own country that's not even supported by your own text?
But that's kind of the level of where Christianity is.
It's like people have just kind of believed their pastors as orators, which is why I want to remind you guys something very important.
You know, many of you know a lot of projects I've worked on in the past have been heavily demonized by big tech because we have these real conversations.
And we're not going to let people, you know, mold and meld us to not be able to talk about the truth, which is why we started the rift here because we want to be able to tell you the truth.
Now, we obviously have partners here.
Now, one of the partners that we are with, before we go on, I want to show you guys something kind of crazy.
After admitting that we need to fight for this country because of God, he goes on to explain that actually this country has kind of been working as an enemy against us.
They've been spying on us, stealing our trade secrets, and we've been paying for it, but God wants us to do that.
You know, it's like the equivalent of someone saying, I'm going to have sex with your wife, and you're going to stand in the corner and watch, but this is what God defines marriage as.
And you're like, that doesn't actually make sense because that's not what God defines it as.
The reason why I think people like Ted and stuff have been easily manipulated is this new war on testosterone.
And I want to let you know that there's really only two ways you can get your testosterone levels up.
It's lifestyle change and supplementation.
Now, one of those ways you can supplement is you can use a product.
You can inject it into your butt.
It's called TRT.
But if you don't want to go that far and get intramuscular injections, you can get what's a carbon delivery method right here of this product called Man's Edge.
So Man's Edge combines all of the active ingredients, the things that you know and love, like fenugreek, NO2, IGF, and the rest of us, who they themselves are absolutely, in many ways, the greatest products that can help you increase your testosterone by up to 46%.
However, I want to also remind you that with this product, you need to realize that you do not get the same absorption that you would get when you're using, let's say, a pill.
You're going to get 98% absorption because why?
It has a carbon delivery method that was created by scientists patented for them, from them, for you to give you 98% absorption on the things that you need for a natural increase in your testosterone, up to 46% increase.
So if you want your libido to increase, you want to get rid of your fatigue, you want to move in a direction to where you're personally able to go longer, more rounds in bed, you want to have that drive back.
Make sure you pick up a bottle of man's edge right now at elijahigf1.com, E-L-I-J-A-H, I-G-F, the numberone.com, promo code Elijah.
When you select auto-ship, you buy one, get one free.
So it's already 50% off.
Plus, you get an additional 10% off with my promo code Elijah, E-L-I-J-A-H.
Again, links on the screen right here, and it's in the description.
Elijah IGF, the numberone.com, promo code Elijah for essentially 60% off.
You got to check it out.
Okay, so as I mentioned, the biblical aspect is crazy.
Okay.
That is, that is wild.
And a lot of people are trying to focus on this gotcha moment.
Oh, well, you know, he asked him about a population density.
That's crazy.
No one should know that.
Well, I would say actually, if you're going to bomb a country, you should be familiar with where it is on the map, what the ethnic makeup is.
You should even be familiar with the entire governmental structure.
How does it work?
What happens when you take out the mullahs, the ayatollah?
Who takes power?
Is there any subversive groups that might create a civil war?
Like we saw in Iraq, was the dictator keeping other groups and Muslims from warring each other, the Shias and the Sunnis?
Is there some sort of a understanding of what's going on here?
Oh, you don't know.
Then why should we bomb them?
Well, because God told us to.
Really?
Well, that would assume then, since God's telling us that, you know, perhaps that's a scary thing.
Politicians think God's telling us to do this.
So that might mean then, in believing God, they may ignore other red flags.
One of the things about being a conservative is that you're not naive and utopian.
You don't think humans are all part of the reason socialism doesn't work is the mantra from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs doesn't work.
As a conservative, I assume people act in their rational self-interest.
It is weird because it feels like you don't want anyone talking poorly about your spouse, right?
Your significant other.
And you will go to bat for them because it is an emotional relationship.
It is not often, you know, love is partially based on responsibility.
And, you know, for a man and woman, one takes care of the children and gives birth to the children.
Another provides for the family and protects the family.
And it doesn't negate the fact that the other one doesn't also help with the children and also help with the family, or that the mother doesn't help protect the children and help with other aspects.
However, we'd all understand that we would never break marriage down to being this, you know, trade-benefit relationship.
There was something ethereal.
There was something spiritual.
There was something deeper about it to where if someone has a genuine criticism of your spouse, you probably will not join in on that criticism.
You probably will not, you probably will deflect and you probably say, Look, you don't understand.
We're married.
You don't get our marriage.
It's fine.
That's what this sounds like, that Ted Cruz thinks he's in a sexual relationship with Israel.
And you don't talk about my hoe like that because in the end, what you don't realize is that she's giving me sex.
That's what I want.
And I'm getting this pleasure.
So I put up with her bullshit.
And it's like, hey, you're not making love with Israel.
You are a lawmaker of the United States.
And you cannot even have the Ghanas, as they would call it.
You don't even have the tenacity to condemn what would be considered a national security extortion, national security compromise from this nation.
You are so beholden to them that when they're doing something against our national interest, this is why it's important to watch this.
Spying is against their national interest.
You will not condemn them, which is proof that our politicians are willing to support this country when it's not in our national interest because it's good for them, not for us, which not saying that proves that the Iran war is bad for us.
That doesn't make that's not causation.
But correlatively speaking, for my basic libtards out there, yeah, it does bring a correlation.
I don't have the source, but I can tell you, I just heard a politician through his lips be unable to condemn negative action from a foreign nation simply because they say they're our ally.
But that is a non-allistic action.
And he goes, well, everyone's doing it.
Yeah, but why can't you say everyone needs to stop?
And what it makes me wonder is, are they trying to stop it?
Do we let them just do what they want?
And if we do, then why would they do it?
And why would they be allowed to do it?
Well, that would mean that our government then must not be beholden to the American people, as was argued in the beginning about how, you know, America's run by the people.
It appears that we may be run by a foreign identity that Buchanan warned us about.
We may be indeed run by a foreign lobby, and our politicians, spiritual or ethically, or through money, are compromised and that we are occupied.
Yeah, I mean, I think you put it best when you said that we are in a sexual relationship, or rather, Ted Cruz is in a sexual relationship with Israel, and he is on the receiving end, if you can imagine what I mean by that.
But it's true because notice how he also couldn't just stay on topic because he knew he didn't really have an argument other than the fact that he benefits personally from defending Israel and so many other, and obviously being in defense of Israel and being against Iran.
So he had to resort to all these other arguments like, well, you know, being a conservative, a rational conservative, this is how you should be acting in your own best interest.
I don't know verbatim what he said exactly, but he was just floundering so much because he really, you know, tried to reach for all these other arguments to justify why one would be against Iran without mentioning the fact that, well, really, I'm against Iran for the sake of Israel.
Really, I'm, you know, doing this because I have to protect this other, my interests involved with this other country.
So, but he just could not be honest.
And I think a lot of people can just clearly see that this is somebody who, you know, is not, they don't, not only do they not know what they're talking about because they don't have to, they just take them the check and shut up and just say what they're talking points, but it's somebody who's being like blatantly dishonest with the American people in that way.
Yeah, I mean, you can see him squirming in his seat.
And if this was any other country that we were talking about, this was China or Russia or any other country, Ted Cruz would be like, we need to put an end to this.
Even like that time we had the whole crazy thing with the spy balloon going over the United States.
If you want to know what it costs to sell his soul, you have it right there.
I mean, the guy is just fully on board now.
And that's why you're going to see him squirming.
That's why you see him reject the answer.
But to allow any type of foreign country, I mean, it's already bad enough that Mossad and the CIA, they're pretty much in bed.
You know, it's hand in hand with the two of them.
And we know that there has been, well, a lot of us assume there has been other kinds of campaigns that they've done, for instance, Jeffrey Epstein and many others where they've spied on our politicians, I believe.
Well, what I was going to say is, I do love how he had to resort to TPUSA signs when he was pressed about something.
He said that, well, socialism sucks.
So obviously we have to have to support Israel.
But one thing I saw online, and sorry to whoever originally posted this, I couldn't find the source for it originally.
But, you know, as you may or may not know, Jews have their own calendar.
They have the Hebrew calendar.
And obviously, we have our own calendar that we operate off of.
But tomorrow is actually the 23rd of Savan.
I'm not sure if I'm saying that right.
But the 23rd of Savan is actually when they were granted the ability to destroy their adversaries.
And the adversary of the time was Haman, which was the king of Persia, which is modern-day Iran.
So I'm not sure if it's maybe getting too little esoteric there, and maybe there's nothing there.
But, you know, there's a lot of weird coincidences going on with the stuff that was happening in the Old Testament and then these modern-day parallels.
Well, just rest assured that if you're ever in between a rock and a hard place on your Bible theology, you can always say big gov sucks and then just try to do it.
So Fox News, who we were appeared on over the weekend, actually yesterday and Monday, has actually been some sort of a conduit, right?
That's what Tucker's pointed out.
They become like a warmonger for this Iran war, which is kind of strange.
We also know that the owners are close to Zelensky and really support the Ukraine war.
I want to remind you, even at my old network, I was called a Putin puppet by some of the leadership.
And my episode was polled because I suggested the day as the war started that it was preventable, that the United States and NATO were pushing this conflict to happen.
And I had talked to Dr. Sam Welly, who is a part of the Foreign Policy Institute, about the way that this war had been going on for a long time.
And I was lambasted.
How dare you?
Do you be an un-American person for resisting a war?
We've been very consistent.
All my shows have been very consistent.
And what's funny is watching the comedy guys, Seth Dylan and Joel Berry of Babylon Bee, which should be called the Neocon B. Apparently that B doesn't just protect its hive.
It's an interventionist.
It's a wasp.
It's the Babylon wasp because it invades other people's hives and takes out the Queen Bee because that's really what bees do.
It is funny.
It is the Babylon bee, though, as well.
So it isp of the wasp of Babylon.
And the comedy guys, instead of trying to make funny jokes, have instead resorted to pushing interventionism, which makes you wonder the front that a lot of these media outlets, what are they really for?
Are they for comedy?
Because, you know, is really Daily Wire about ladyballers?
Because that was the best movie that ever existed.
I love conservatives making movies about transgenders and sports.
That's what we need in this country.
And more songs about COVID.
You know what I mean?
Please write me another song because that's what we mean with conservatives taking back the arts.
You know what I mean?
Ladyballers.
And shout out to Ben Shapiro for starring it because that even shows less narcissism and lack of creativity, putting all of your own people in it instead of finding actual actors and actresses.
Honestly, I would probably end up trampling and killing people to get closer to Roseanne Barr rapping.
The Roseanne's bars.
You know what I mean?
Let me, Astro World.
I'm going to kill you.
I got to listen to this.
Anyway, he's on Fox News, Senator Ted Cruz.
And this is crazy because Senator, if Thomas Massey in general, he's Congressman, right?
I mean, you know, Congressman Thomas Massey had put out a map from the United States government showing the range of the ICBMs of the ability for Iran to deliver a nuclear warhead.
And it doesn't even really reach Europe.
Okay.
So it doesn't even reach that far.
It barely does.
And also, it definitely has nowhere near the United States.
It is crazy when we have a Pacific and Atlantic Ocean between us and our enemies that we need a trillion-dollar budget for our Pentagon, right?
He says that if they get a nuclear weapon, which counters what Trump said, Trump said if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, they will blow up Israel, Tel Aviv.
But Cruz says this: You need an ICBM to get to America.
If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, I think the odds are unacceptably high that we would find out with a mushroom cloud over New York City or Los Angeles or Tel Aviv and Israel.
So now they're going to nuke America, which is kind of crazy because look, I'm not saying that this, you know, that the Twin Towers were destroyed by bombs planted in the elevator shafts, but they were.
But they were.
But I wouldn't say that.
I just know we saw the evidence of it.
There was, you know, conductive tests done at the time that proved that there was explosive material beyond just the fuel.
The eyewitness accounts were there.
I mean, if the Twin Towers weren't imploded by design, then Jesus wasn't God.
Because the same evidence we used to know that Jesus was God is the same evidence that we would have used to know that.
But accordingly, we can thousands of years ago use that methodology of witnesses and accounts and historical records.
But today, it doesn't matter because, you know, back on the news, Glenn Beck was calling everyone an enemy of the country.
Again, if they had questioned, remember that?
That's how the feud started between Glenn Beck and Alex Jones because he was calling Alex Jones an American for questioning the narrative on the Twin Towers to get us involved in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
So you see, and that was from Fox News.
You see the same people, the same things.
And God bless Glenn.
He's a nice man.
I really appreciate him as a person.
But ideologically and politically, the dude is also subservient to Israel, subservient to the Zionist agenda.
And they kind of do the bidding of the congressmen and senators who are obviously actively voting on legislation that would affect us.
So you have these pundits, these media personalities who will toe the line for them.
And they're kind of the middle ground.
They're the ones that obviously continue to keep the population brainwashed.
And they know better.
I really do believe most of them do.
But they know that they also want to maintain, they don't want to rock the boat in that regard.
And I know we've talked about that a lot, but I think that it's really telling that people like Ted Cruz, people who are obviously in favor of, you know, striking, well, I guess defending Iran or not, defending Israel, they can't even come up with a new line, like a new argument, because it's been the same argument since Bush.
You know, oh, we have to go to war because they have weapons of mass destruction or we have to defend Israel because of that.
And they're going to, and I know now they're saying like, oh, they're going to come after America, but the reality is they've just, they haven't really changed the slogan at all.
And I don't really see how much longer they can go on with that, with the public actually believing that.
I don't think most people do believe that.
So I wonder what's going to come next because they have to come up with something.
People are waking up.
They're waking up to 9-11, like you mentioned.
Even Trump, when he ran in 2016, he talked about 9-11 being an inside job.
I think I actually brought that up last night too.
So people are by and large waking up to not just what's happening in Israel, not just things that we've been lied to about for so long, but we need to start.
They're not even changing their tactic.
So considering they have all the support, they have all this money behind them, you'd think they would come up with something new by now.
I think what they're doing is that they kind of just see us as so dumb that they feel like they only, because I mean, they've been using the same line for over 30 years now and barely even change any variables in the equation either.
So I think that they do just see us as so dumb that they don't even care to even change it at all.
And yeah, like, I mean, it's different with social media now.
I mean, we've had the internet at least mainstream adoption for at least 20 or 30 years now.
So things have been able to propagate more than they ever have.
So in the past, it was easier to get a narrative out because they'd had the big mainstream media corporations that they could push out their message through.
But now it's like, now that's all kind of crumbling down because now it's more than just those.
Now it's citizen journalism.
Now it's conspiracy theorists.
Now it's all the crazy nutjobs who can come out and actually tell the truth about things.
But I think it's actually just chutzpah.
They think that they're telling such a crazy lie that no one's ever going to get schmuck.
Yeah, I was just saying it was like, you're telling me they're doing, you're telling me they're doing the same line for 30 years.
Now I'm not telling you they're doing the same line.
I'm saying they are doing the same line.
So you're saying chutzpah, Jerry.
It's chutzpah.
It's like the same thing.
No, it's not like the same thing.
It's the same words, Jerry.
It's the same words.
Exactly.
It's the same words, the same script in our book club, which we'll talk about later, how you can win this.
We are reading Buchanan's Where the Right Went Wrong, talked about how neoconservatives took control.
Go read the quotes from 1995, 1997, 2001, 2003 to get us involved in these wars, forever wars.
I swear before God and the God of Vivek as well, and all 7 million of them, even the 10-armed God, you know, which apparently is the Americans' God these days because we all, you know, under that God, that there is the exact quotes today.
We mentioned on the other show, where it was like, we have to invade Iraq because they could get a nuke.
And they said, when are they going to have a nuke?
And they said, two years, three years, maybe tomorrow even.
That's the quote from the neocons, tomorrow even to go invade.
And that's what we're finding out now is that nobody has an idea of where they're at in their development of their nuclear bomb that's going to blow up New York, but they might get it tomorrow.
And, you know, if you don't believe that, then I'm going to tell you this.
Yeah, I mean, they've been using the same playbook as you guys all mentioned perfectly.
And as far as saying that they have weapons of mass destruction or whatever you want to call them, back in 1995, which I mentioned yesterday, you had Netanyahu saying that in six months, Iran would have the capabilities.
So they've been just pushing this live for years.
And the one thing I think they noticed is that the lie is crumbling before them.
That's why you're seeing now that they're putting out all these laws against anti-Semitism.
You see social media is cracking down on it.
And they're getting nervous because this playbook that they've been using for years is no longer working.
We're no longer just following blindly like sheep.
We're actually asking questions and we're diving deep into it.
And then one other thing I wanted to mention, you mentioned Thomas Massey.
He just introduced, it's the Iran war powers resolution.
So his plan is to help prohibit the U.S. involvement in the Israeli war, Iran war.
So hopefully it goes through.
I know there's a lot of people that are in Congress that are more pro-Israel, but we'll see what happens.
And as we talk about that, I remind you guys something very important.
You know, obviously here, we've been partnering with some amazing companies.
One of those companies is Van Man.
Vanman is a company that has all the products that you need for your family, but without all of the bad stuff in it.
What do I mean by that?
Well, right now, instead of using the chapstick, even Burt Speeves, you know, was bought out by one of the big pharmaceutical companies, big, big production companies, and they started putting random like oil products in there.
And, you know, you have, you go into a place and they put up a sign like no seed oils, no poison, no cancer-causing materials.
And it's like you walk into businesses and like, you know, there are products here that can cause cancer.
And you're like, what is going on in the world?
What if we could find a company that you could trust everything that they make from their deodorant to their chapstick to their face creams to their toothpaste?
And it didn't have poisonous chemicals in them.
Chemicals I can't even pronounce.
You know, it's absolutely insane.
One of the things that I love about this is it's the beef tallow bomb with honey and essential oils.
It's used as a one-stop shop moisturizer for your face.
It lasts forever as well.
Plus, I love their fluoride-free toothpowder, which is fantastic.
And I love that all their products can be used when you're pregnant.
They can be used on your children.
You know, I have two young kids that are like two and eight, nine months old.
I don't even know how dads, I don't even know how old my kids are.
Honestly, they're young.
They're young.
They're young and they're growing.
But I like it.
You know, I can be like, I went out to the Riots and my lips got cracked open.
I don't have any of this with me.
But I did use what I liked.
I used the zinc sunscreen.
So I had that with me and I used that, protected myself.
It was very, very happy.
It didn't stop me from getting chemical burns.
They don't have a product yet to stop you from getting skin burns from gas products from the federal officers.
So we need to get that.
But they can help you not get burned by the sun.
I like knowing that all their products are healthy and safe for the families.
Even when I'm putting it on, my son wants it on.
My wife won't even let me put like some of my cologne on my son because apparently those hormone disruptors.
So get all the products that you want for you and your family 10% off at vanman.shop slash Elijah V-A-N-M-A-N dot SH-O-P slash E-L-I-J-A-H promo code Elijah for 10% off links on the screen and in the description.
For those of you that are watching, don't forget to subscribe to our new YouTube channel.
It's in the description.
We're trying to grow it.
It's growing fantastic.
I'm very happy to put into perspective how badly they ruined our old channel.
I still have over 500,000 subscribers and we barely get maybe 300 live viewers on a show on that channel.
And we have like about 150 right now on a channel of 2,000 subs.
So we somehow have like 540,000 less subs on this channel and get about 50% of the live viewers just starting it a couple days ago.
Welcome to the world of ruining channels.
So we're very happy of you guys to join and join that channel and send it to people.
I'll read a couple of the super chats here as we talk about the next video.
One of the super chats, I don't want to transition like Caitlin Jenner.
I'll read this from Zesty AIDS.
Great name.
He said, All Ted knows for $20, by the way, so you get a little round of applause, some confetti, some horns.
Let's go.
He said, all Ted knows is that money comes from the big nose pointy hat people and to share porn on his Twitter.
We could talk about some other things, but this is also interesting.
In this response, a politician uses the APAC position.
And if you're against this, this is the new thing.
If you're against war, Mark Levin said you're a Marxist Islamist today.
That was his exact words on Fox News.
You're a Marxist Islamist, which is kind of crazy because not only are they using the same words to get us involved in the war, but they're literally doing the same thing, calling you un-American and calling you a horrible, horrible person.
If you remember, it was Gary Franchie of the Next News Network and Alex Jones that believed it was an inside job, and they were barred from everything and banned from the radio and everything.
This is the first cancellation of them for suggesting that 9-11 was an inside job, even though Alex Jones predicted that it would happen.
Remember that?
They were going to fly planes in the Twin Towers, he said, several months before.
It was going to be Al-Qaeda.
They were going to blame Osama bin Laden.
He knew the whole thing.
But what's even crazier about that is that they had to go out on the streets, thank God for the internet, and go hand out DVDs to people like they were a black rapper in Hollywood.
They had to hand out the DVDs to get people to watch.
By the way, I woke up politically from Alex Jones people handing out DVDs.
I saw what?
The Obama deception that warned that they were going to try to take away our rights, our freedom of speech, that they were going to start, you know, do a major shutdown and use the federal health agencies to try to shut us down.
And that did end up happening in 2020.
So, you know, it's not a joke.
Alex spent on the money.
Shout out to the OGs.
Never want to forget them.
Gary Franchie of Next News Network and Alex Jones, both very successful men who were who kind of like ran so that we could walk basically today.
It's not the opposite.
They really, they had to go out on the streets, burn DVDs, and now we just get to get to click send and then tell people.
Check out this interaction between them, shared by the Vigilant Fox, who's a great follow on X Watch.
Do you think that it's just interesting because what you're now describing in a very defensive way, I will say, is foreign influence over our politics.
On behalf not simply of myself, but of my many Jewish friends who would have the same questions, which is to what extent, and it's interesting you're trying to derail my questions by calling me an anti-Semite, which you are.
And rather than be honorable enough to say it right to my face, I'm sitting in a sleazy feline way implying it or just asking questions about the Jews.
You asked me why I'm obsessed with Israel three minutes after telling me that when you first ran for Congress, you elucidated one of your main goals, which is to defend Israel.
Okay, I'm looking at something right now that I want to point out.
If you can take it off the screen, I just, I just booked Mark Take.
Me a moment here.
Can I bring this up?
Give me one moment.
Yeah, Jack Pasobic stated this, though.
You know, they're claiming he's anti-Semitic.
Of course, he's taking money from Qatar.
And that's always the line, right?
That's what we were warned that the communists would do.
That's what these people, these individuals, and we found out that the people that were the communists are pretty much also the other side of it are also the people pushing us for Zionist control, the clean break.
They're different sides of the same coin.
That coin has to have ridges on it if we're going to get somewhere, if you know what I mean.
But Jack Poso said news statement from the consulting firm that set up the Qatar interview confirming Tucker's network did not get paid.
Luminade advertiser statement said Luminade Advisors files documents under FARA in accordance with the DOJ requirements and our legal obligation.
We find ironic that those who follow the law get called into question.
Tucker Carlson, TCN, and its affiliates have never received payments from Luminade Advisors, entities affiliated with it, or its client.
Luminate Advisors proudly works with the government of Qatar and in the capacity provided interview preparation and advice to the Qatari government in relation to Tucker Carlson's interview with the Qatari prime minister.
Following consultation with the FARA lawyers, Luminate Advisors thought it best to register the meeting as a pre-regular practice, per regular practice.
For those who know better, to twist this and pretend Tucker or TCN was paid anything for this interview is just loathsome.
Evidently, no good deed goes unpunished.
And of course, Laura Loomer is in the chat with an extremely long diatribe of information that I just read right now.
And you can read it there.
So I'm not going to summarize it.
Has no evidence that Tucker took money from Qatar.
It's a bunch of, but you know, when everyone's got to show every receipt to prove that he didn't show every airline receipt, every water bottle you've got.
It's more of like, because by the way, and I like Laura and I no mean to start a war with her, but you know, she's she's written me personally and said a lot of people are taking money from Qatar.
And when I responded to her and said, who, please name me one person, just didn't respond with who took the money from Qatar.
And I asked this publicly because she said that, you know, we're going to, we need a congressional investigation to uncover all the people, these anti-Semitic people that are fake grifters that are taking money from Qatar.
All of these people, and it's all going to stop when we uncover this and stop the money.
That's what, that's what I've seen.
I've seen this.
It's all going to stop.
All this criticism of the war because it's Qatar.
I said, name 12 of them.
Like, meaning, because there's thousands of these people saying this stuff.
Give me 12 people who are taking Qatari money because I want to call them and talk to them.
And I want some of that money to fight.
If we're, if people are getting paid for this shit, I'd like to know because my stacks of cash from what's the capital of Qatar?
Yeah, it's at this point, it's a running joke to just like say, yeah, I take money from Qatar because it's just, it's so funny that that is their priority, so to speak.
Like, oh, yeah, the big problem here is that we just have so many senators and congressmen taking money from Qatar, that infamous Qatari pack.
Like, what we're even, you can't, you can't even like come up with a morsel of truth that this proof that this is happening.
Like, and it's, this is why for so long, people who were critical of Israel were saying, hey, we should probably pay attention to APAC.
probably start paying attention to how much money these people are taking from these foreign um these foreign lobbyist groups and nobody really seemed to care a lot of conservatives and still to this day will say well it's not really our biggest issue we need to talk about the border we need to talk about this we need to talk about that and you know those are all important issues but yeah this whole israel problem is an issue that americans should be focused on that should absolutely play a role in how you vote because This is why.
Because to your point earlier, you're saying that, you know, they're now enacting legislation or voting on legislation that could hinder your speech because they don't want us questioning Israel.
And this is what happens when you don't pay attention to an issue and they say, well, that's not our biggest problem right now.
It is.
It turns into a bigger problem.
And it has been a problem for a while, you know, for a very long time in America.
But it becomes an even bigger problem when you ignore it, like they were telling us for so long to do.
And now that people are paying attention, they're like, well, actually, it's not, it's not Israel you have to pay attention to.
It's all the Qatar money that everybody's taking.
Everybody in media and everybody in politics is taking.
It was like, it became a, they got the call and it became a unilateral.
Everybody's taking money from Qatar.
And then even when we joked about it and threw money around, like we were in a strip club, James Lindsay was like, they also had a running joke saying that they were taking money for Qatar, but I just want you to take that at face value and say, is it a joke?
And I was like, dude, just get fatter.
You know what I mean?
Just keep gaining weight.
That's all I have for James Lee.
Keep gaining weight because that's probably the best place where you'll find some refuge.
Because on the internet, you're not finding any comfort with your bullshit.
Honestly, that guy is that I've never saw someone just like get cooked and become irrelevant and then have to start doing like John Stossel interviews.
You know what I mean?
Is Nick Frante's evil today?
That fat atheist guy with no credibility weighs in.
It's like, that's, he's like a lol cow, right?
Is that what they call it?
He's like, he's become a running joke now.
And I know, look at this.
It's all power dynamics.
Poor guy, man.
It's really sad.
It's, you know, it's unfortunate.
But I just want to remind you guys he blocked me because, you know, he called me a gay slut.
And yeah, and I said, isn't that really rude since your daughter is gay and has an OnlyFans to be like using that as a pejorative since you're talking about.
So that isn't that unfortunate because you're calling me gay like it's bad, but your daughter's gay.
And then you're also calling me a slut.
And I don't have no, like, so what is your daughter?
Is she a terrible person then?
So you're calling your daughter terrible on the internet.
He's like, you're taking this too far.
He didn't even deny it.
You've taken this too far.
I'm like, hey, I don't know.
Like, you know, it's your own kid.
You don't see Andrew Clavin talking about gay people like that.
You know what I mean?
He's not talking.
He's not like, oh, I don't know the gay kids horrible and gays are bad because, you know, he's got a gay kid.
So he's probably sensitive about it.
And I just thought it was really rude as a dad to come out and talk shit on your own children like that.
So I thought any dad who comes out and like shit talks his kids probably isn't a good dad.
In fact, Andrew Clavin, I give him some credit for the fact that he said it was hard for him, you know, accept his, that his son lives this way.
And I listen to his whole thing on it.
And it was tough for him, you know?
So it's like, at least, at least he could have said that, but man, to go after your own children on the internet like that and then like, you know, try to try to get at people while your own kid, you know, has sort of gotten that way.
I hope more churches and I hope more evangelical churches invite you to speak at their conferences because how he's gotten over it is he actually went ahead and just decided to check out more women with his daughter.
Yeah, I mean, the Qatar is just them trying to throw something against the wall, hopes it sticks because they know they're losing the narrative.
And another thing I noticed they do, which Tucker, I mean, he tried doing with Tucker right there, was just saying, what's your obsession with them?
You know, why are you so obsessed?
And you've seen that in other places too, where they're using it.
You know, Nick Fuentes was even attacked by another podcaster saying that he was an Israeli op because he's asking too many questions and that he's too obsessed with Israel, which is all these absurd things, you know, which are far from the truth.
But it's their way, you know, is their way to try to pull people away.
But in reality, we should be worried about this because this is where all our money's going.
These are the same people that are dragging us into war.
And if you are going to be partnered with somebody, which I think we shouldn't have any kind of long relationship with any country as far as being partnered in every kind of conflict, you know, Washington touched on that.
But yeah, so it's, you know, I think it's okay to actually ask these questions.
We should be asking these questions, especially if we're going to be sending our sons and daughters to fight the wars for them, which we shouldn't be in.
Because I mean, you'd be forgiven if like we were in the midst of a calendar gate or something or like one of those like e-drama things that was going on in recent years.
And then people being like, oh, like you're obsessed with Israel.
But it's like, yeah, we're on the cusp of World War III because we have to protect Israel because they're our supposed ally.
And they're still saying that we're obsessed.
So that's weird.
Number two, I always hate how people act like, you know, you can take the most fervent Zionist, like the most fervent pro-Israel evangelical ever, and then you give them $20,000 from Qatar, and all of a sudden they'll be super anti-Israel.
That's not really how lobbying works.
I think normally they'll find people who are on their side and then they'll give them money and then they'll say, hey, we actually like what you're saying.
So we're going to support you.
It's not they take someone from zero to 100 on the end on the on the anti-Semite scale, but just an observation on that.
I don't know if Peter Thiel does, but Curtis Yarvin does too and stuff.
It's interesting.
You know, there's a lot of these people that I'm like, you know, but I think I've told you guys that they did try to contract me into that whole circle, which I'm actually like, don't know so much about, but they try to get me to campaign and like go do some stuff for Vance and also that other guy from Arizona.
So you're supposed to be like humble and meek and not show off your wealth.
And yet they'll like take a picture of you at Bentley with their boobs out.
And you're like, this thing feels very, let them have their cake.
You know, it's not a real quote, by the way, but you know, let them eat their cake or that phrase was, it feels very like we're, it feels like we're headed towards a revolution, you know, because like you see stuff like that, you're like, nice, but also, huh?
By the way, somebody asked on YouTube, is Slightly Offensive dead?
And is this where to go?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
We have a long-term plan here.
This is not a one-night stand.
This is a long-term relationship.
We are here.
We are here for a very, very long time.
So this show may not catch on for a very long time, but we did see some other shows from some of the mainstream networks and they haven't caught on in seven years.
I'm not going to mention by name because that would be mean.
It'd be cruel.
But I sent a picture of that to Fleckas, you know, and he was like, brutal.
Some of these shows that they said, there's shows that you don't know that exist that started when I was out.
And like, they cannot break 10,000 views on a show for seven years.
And they're still getting hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in funding and like 500,000 or more.
And they can't break 10,000 views, but they push the agenda so they're still green lit.
A lot of these big name people on X go there.
They only have like 100,000 followers and you look at the numbers and they don't have any numbers.
So what happened is a lot of these old networks, which we'll probably talk about on our almost serious episode, they pay for their views.
You know, they pay to boost their stuff.
And then, unfortunately, can we check in on this?
This is really petty, but I wanted to see, I want to see something important here.
Yeah, and it's like, there was really aesthetic nudity on Tumblr.
I know that's a weird statement to make, but I feel like once Tumblr got banned was like when adult content became like really hardcore and everyone started accepting it.
People used to just like share like tasteful nudity, if you call it that, like artistic nudity on Tumblr.
And then like it became very, very, very much, people just went at it on X.
So now you type in like, oh, hey, like college football, and then you don't see college football, but you do see some college students and some balls.
Whenever somebody like blocks something or censors it, there's something fishy going on.
They definitely want to control the narrative.
I think you're right in that they are looking for reasons to essentially continue on with their genocide and ultimately finish the operation.
I mean, that's what they've been trying to do for so long.
And I think they were kind of trying to do that about like a year and a half ago after October 7th because the reporting, I don't know if you guys remember during that time was also very sketchy because we would hear things and then we would hear from the Israeli government.
No, that didn't happen.
There's a lot of back and forth with whether stories were true or not, who was being raped, who was being killed, you know, what strikes had gone on.
And like it was very confusing to report on the news during that time because we were constantly hearing like the story changing.
And what that tells you is that somebody's lying.
Somebody's trying to, and by somebody, I mean a government is trying to cover up the narrative or change the narrative controlled in some way.
And so I think they're trying to do that all over again and while still achieving their end goal, which is genocide.
Well, I meant in terms of like military conflicts.
So it's like pretty common because I mean, you know, they want to make sure that anything that's coming out is favorable towards them.
And then if there's people on the ground on their side, then they could be reporting the news just with no filter and then it could make them look bad.
But, you know, I know things are looking really bad right now.
I know that a lot of people might be on edge.
A lot of people might be stacking up on their food buckets, but I will give you guys some reassurance.
And that assurance is that President Donald Trump is announcing his $499 smartphone, which is expected to be manufactured in China.
Yeah, he kind of keeps speaking in terms of as if we're directly involved with Israel already, which I guess can be talked up to, okay, they're supposedly an ally.
It's concerning because it's like, you know, does this mean that we're putting boots on the ground?
Does this mean that we're providing aid?
I mean, obviously we're providing aid, but, you know, just some questions to ask.
But yeah, I mean, I don't think Trump looks great, which is ironic because that was what conservatives were harping on Biden about for the last year or two.
I mean, even longer than that, actually, like four to five years probably.
And now it looks like Trump is melting, unfortunately.
And it's like, they want diplomacy, but my answer is it's too late.
It's like, but you know, Gallup pulled the American people.
And, you know, it was between 60, it was like 64, 68%, or 72.
I forget the exact number around there.
Unlike Senator Ted Cruz, I at least knew an average that wants diplomacy.
They don't want the war.
Again, they always quote they don't want Iran to have a nuke.
84% of Americans don't want Iran to have a nuke.
That's not the amount of Americans that want a war.
You know, that's a big difference.
And also, it's like, you know, it's been a lot's changed.
They've bombed Tel Aviv.
Yeah, but they also were not the ones who instigated the conflict.
You know what I mean?
Like, if Israel is in the right from October 7th, because they didn't instigate the conflict, you know, nothing started on that date.
But if they could do whatever they want, then why is Iran not allowed to do what they want to Israel for instigating the conflict?
It's like, it's always just double, you know, double rules, rules for thee, but not for me.
And it's like, again, hey, buddy, why is anyone asking this?
How does this serve American interests?
Because remember, Trump said originally in 2015 that he was going to get rid of, I mean, Iran, not allowed them to have a nuke, but he didn't say because of American interests.
He said because it could wipe out Israel.
And once again, I'm just asking people, how does Israel's existence in the Middle East helping the United States?
Yeah, you mentioned, which is true, it's like they always say that we need to have an ally right in the middle of or surrounded by our enemies.
But what makes it worse is that ally is the one starting fights, the ones that's bombing these countries and then expecting us to go ahead and retaliate to it.
So it's not benefiting us at all.
If anything, Israel is the only one collecting benefits from us.
And then you were mentioning about a poll.
I actually pulled up the YouGov poll.
60% of Americans actually oppose U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran war, while only 16% support it.
This was done between June 13th and June 16th that that poll came out.
And, you know, the rest of the country is also concerned because when you go over to Polymarket, Polymarket's actually having betting going on and 67% chance people believe that we will be shoved into this war before, I think it is June, before July, that we have a 67% chance.
So even though America's against it, we still believe that our government's going to force us into this endless conflict just to go help promote another country that we should have no involvement in.
Like, they made some video like, what will happen if we, you know, these Muslims always do that?
Make these like bad 3D animation videos of like killing the president or whatever.
Like, I don't know if that means they had the capability to do that.
But I wrote under here, why does the U.S. Senate official opinion on this war not reflect the actual position of the American people, who overwhelmingly, according to nonpartisan Gallup poll, do not support a war with Iran, but prefer to continue diplomatic measures?
Israel's clean break.
It's Israel's clean break, not ours.
So it's true.
You know, I've looked at Gallup even had the poll too that said that, you know, the United States, the very small minority of people support a war.
So it's like, you know, it is in our interest.
But what is our interest?
And that's what the interest is.
When you realize that the interest is of Zionists and neocons in bed together, you know, it's their interest.
It's the interest of our government.
Like the government, and it's like, oh, Iran is the government and they don't, we got to do a regime change because they don't represent their people.
Well, if that's the case, then the United States needs a regime change as well.
Then, well, how could you blame Iran for trying to bomb us or to want to stop us?
Because currently our government's rogue and doesn't represent its people.
Our people have no effing say in it.
We have no say in what happens in our world.
Our elected officials do nothing.
They're talking about Jews and anti-Semitism.
Someone asked Nancy Mace ratio and went, how many people in your district are Jewish?
Your district's white and Christian.
And why are you defending?
Why don't you ask white Christians what they think about this and see what's really going on?
And not just evangelicals, right?
But also Catholics and Orthodox.
And of course, our favorite Christians, the Mormons.
You know, and they know they would receive pushback.
And I think that's why they don't do it.
But it's like, there's nothing wrong with saying, well, that's not who I represent for the most part.
Like, there's nothing wrong.
I don't know why people have such a hard time just saying, like, no, I don't have to represent every single ethnic group and religious group in this country because that's not who I'm working for.
That's not who's the majority of my district.
Now, I guess if you were in Ilhan Omar's district, you'd be representing a lot of Muslims.
Or if you were in New York City, you'd be representing a lot of Jews.
And maybe you could take that into account.
But by and large, most of these districts, it's white Christians that people are representing.
You don't have, there's nothing wrong with saying that, with saying, no, I don't owe anybody else any sort of like meaningful representation.
That's fine with saying.
You can stand up for white Christians.
That's okay.
That is okay, Congress.
Like, I don't know why they need permission to do that.
I just like, I don't think this is going anywhere.
Like, I don't think this topic is going anywhere.
And I just want to, I know it sounds so cringe and dumb because they sound like everybody on the internet, but it's like, I just want it to be made known.
Just like I feel like I was on the right side of COVID, been on the right side of a lot of things, even when I was young from 9-11 and stuff.
I feel like I've been able to move on with these things, but on the right side of a lot of things.
And I don't mean the side that ends up being right, according to public opinion, but the side that's correct on what's good and right for our country and morally true.
You know, taking this position against the Iran war is going to be considered very unpopular and will probably lose.
Okay.
They're probably going to get their war.
And I want to remind you that the state of the people, our Christians who should be backing us, is in such a bad position.
I'd like you to check out and see again how Christians are doing.
And it seems like evangelicals are excited about this.
Watch a church service in America today.

The Bible says that this attack at the end of time will come on Israel from the north and the south.
And then that will be the final war, the war to end all wars that will usher in the end of time.
Now, here's the question: Are we entering into that war right now?
And Ezekiel 38 and 39, it mentions nations Gog and Magog.
That would be like modern-day Russia.
It also mentions Persia in Ezekiel 38 and 39.
That corresponds to modern-day Iran.
What we do know is that if Iran enters the war, that Turkey and Russia will probably go with them.
Right behind them will be North Korea and China.
And if all of the world powers start attacking from the north and the south, start trying to attack Israel, that could be the war to end all wars that ushers in the end of history.
You may be going right now, like, bro, this is heavy, man.
Can I just say this?
There's a lot of hope in Ezekiel 38 and 39 because we know how that battle ends.
But the Bible says, exactly at the moment when it looks like all hope is lost, forgot for the descendants of Isaac, that the Lord Himself, Jesus Christ, will descend.
He will take the battlefield and he will win the war once and for all.
I went to formal theological training school versus undergrad and grad in this.
And I can tell you, I'm pretty sure he's off on his timeline, though, here on his eschatology.
I'm pretty sure that isn't that, isn't already the third temple supposed to be built and the Antichrist supposed to sit himself at the throne, declare himself God?
That's what my understanding of what that should have already happened at this point.
So I don't think that I don't, sir, I don't, maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you have your timeline off with a few more steps.
Get that red heifer.
You know what I'm saying?
There's a few more steps here to getting the Gog Magog war.
I always think that these pastors just like to hear themselves talk.
And I want to remind them all: start a podcast.
You don't have to drag people's salvation into this.
You know what I mean?
Just be annoying, like me, talk into a microphone, yap a bit, and hang out with some drunk and high people that are in their rooms right now.
You know what I mean?
That's all you need to really do.
But then, like, it's like, you see how excited he was?
Well, I don't know about you guys, but I mean, personally, I get my theology from someone wearing skinny jeans and a low-cut, or not low-cut, but a, I forgot what you're doing.
By the way, I want to remind you guys, check out the page Prophets and Watches, which every Sunday takes the live streams from all the major churches, takes pictures of their watches from the live streams, and then prices them based on market value.
It's a fantastic page.
I really do enjoy it.
It's so fun, you know.
And also, remember, pastors with props.
That's also a really good page, which every Sunday takes live streams from the major churches and just goes over the props that they use, you know, to like boats and roller coasters.
And these are just like, and they also follow like Protigia.
Is that what it's called, right?
Which also attracts some of some of the insane stuff.
Speaking of where the state of the church is, I did post some things here in our cult.
I guess we already kind of are hitting our culture stuff that we didn't have the transformation, but I wanted to check in with the evangelical church and see how they were doing.
And I always tell you guys the reason why the evangelical church is so where it's at is because it's very feminine, right?
It has been feminized.
So I thought, well, if the evangelicals aren't doing very well, the Catholics are meeting with Ben Shapiro.
How are our Pentecostal friends doing?
That was all like, that was just women, you know, being women.
And it's like, that was just unreasonable.
But I, you know, I've attended things like that before.
Speaking of Daily Wire Ladyballs jokes, you know, at least the Pentecostals are real females.
I prefer my heretics without a dick.
You know what I'm saying?
That's literally how it is.
You know, that's like what conservatism is.
Can we get back to heresy without women with penises?
You're like, oh, Lord, have mercy.
Literally, everyone says it, Lord, have mercy.
No, but it is kind of crazy because you see, basically, everything we're dealing with today is a culmination of allowing non-white people into our countries and women to have power.
Pretty much the whole issue with all of the West is like could be summarized into two things: non-white immigration and females in authority.
I don't know if anyone like we yap a lot, we talk for hours, but that's pretty much my whole worldview summarized.
Like, it's like, hey, non-white immigration, females in power, with those things continuing, we will not have a country.
Like, if we just told women no, you can't be in power, and like minorities actually know you, you don't get to be represented in our country, at least not to the degree that white Christians do, we would have no problems.
You know, that like meme where there's the dolphin like diving into the water and there's a rainbow, and it's like the like America if, and then it's like something, yeah, that's what that is.
Literally, America if we just told women no, and minorities that they don't get to be represented.
He's like, you know, when people say you're being anti-Semitic because you're making a stereotypical voice, and then you hear Mark Levin talk and you go, that's how they talk.
Yeah, but it's like, it's crazy.
It's like, they don't talk like this.
That's just a, that's just a rude stereotype.
And you turn on Ben Shapiro and you go, no, they totally do.
That is literally his voice.
Okay.
But anyway, that being said, you know, that being said, someone said Elijah looks like he's high on goofballs in that video.
I was so hungover, honestly.
I was so, in almost every interview that we've seen for me from that era, I was probably drunk or hungover, to be completely honest.
That's like totally true.
But, you know, it is what it is.
But honestly, I probably still said more truthful things than Mark Levin has in his entire life.
The thing about Mark Levin and these people, and the reason why I think that they're interesting is because they're actually really not wrong on a lot of things.
They're actually really correct.
But the reason why the media exists, this whole apparatus of the right-wing media, is just to gatekeep these moments.
Like they'll agree with you on black people.
They'll agree with you on like Mexican violence.
They'll agree with you on the riots.
They'll agree with you on like everything that you question about society.
But the moment you question like their power, you know, their wars, the control, you will be X'd out of their, of their movement.
And then they'll act like they never talk to you.
Like they'll act like, like Mark will act like, it's like, I was, he never thought I was credible enough to come on his shows.
You know, like, it's like, when did I lose credibility?
Oh, after October 7th, 2003 or whatever.
That's when I lost credibility.
Why?
Because I didn't receive the narrative.
You know, that was that whole time when the New York Post unfollowed me, Breitbart people unfollowed me because I didn't come out in support of the war.
And it was like, they were realized, like, oh, shit, this guy actually thinks for himself.
And then it was like, this is Rift TV's revenge, by the way.
Someone said, you did like, if you don't think that everything is a joke on the show, everything I say, you shouldn't take seriously.
Honestly, you should take nothing I say seriously.
But more importantly, you should take nothing that Mark Levin says seriously.
We also exist on this show to be watched by several dozen people a week, as I've mentioned.
But no, but we exist here for a future time.
Rift exists because at some point in the near future, the lies are going to get so bad.
We're going to be two years deep into an Iran war.
And it's going to be such bullshit and propaganda.
And the people are going to become, you thought they're grifters now.
It's going to become insane grifters.
You know, you have Officer Tatum who's constantly mocking me on the internet, you know, constantly going on other pages that post my clips and like calling me out for being insane and crazy.
I'll let you know what clips they all are.
It's clips like from this show talking about this issue.
I've known Officer Tatum.
I've spoken with him at events for Turning Point.
We've toured together.
We've been on each other's shows.
Yeah.
He's the Officer Tatum.
I have nothing poor to say about him because unlike people, I don't care about our disagreement on this issue.
I don't think you're a bad person because we disagree on this issue.
But you do see the gaslighting from these people.
The amount of people that try to discredit me on a regular basis, which is why actually you will find out they will just ignore you at a certain point or they just block you.
By the way, do you remember just a few days ago once you were talking about how diabolical it was that there is a misfit patriot, Avi Yameni, Ian Miles Chong Rebel News panel because it's just ridiculous?
Yeah, I was like, I was like, wow, what happened to Rebel News?
Yeah, when you find out what Rebel News really is, though, and you find out what they really talk about, what they really do, you actually realize they're complete scammers.
But even then, with the in-ear, I always pull one out at a time and then just swap them as the show's going on because it gets pretty, it gets, yeah, it's hot.
Well, they're worse than like AOC because at least AOC kind of stopped talking about climate change after she was like, yeah, the world's going to end in 10 years.
And she was like, oh, okay, I'm going to back away from that talking point.
The fact that they say the money is coming from Qatar, from Doha, and this is called Doha.
And then we have the Moolahs, and this is the Moolah.
Why is there a word for money and are slaying all Islamic Republics?
That's a weird statement.
Anyway, my name is Elijah Schaefer.
