While the “12 Day War” seems to be winding down - the right wing influencer war is starting to heat up again. Steven Crowder decided to take shots at Candace, Ian Carroll, and several others - accusing the anti-Israel crowd of ‘grifting’ for attention. Was this his honest assessment, or is he just tailoring his message to the powers-that-be?

Stephen Crowder, who of course has been in a feud with a black woman named Candace Owens, came out with a diatribe.
Check this out.
He says this.
She lied to you.
She said you were going to die for Israel.
She said Trump was owned by Netanyahu.
She told the American soldiers to desert and get a dishonorable discharge.
She lied to you.
I'm really glad that Stephen, who of course is an old colleague from Blaze TV and used to go on a show a lot back in the day, has decided that apparently all of Candace Owens' warnings about Israel are false.
Because as Trump said, we secured a peace deal.
It's the greatest peace deal ever.
And it really worked, right?
That's what we saw.
It worked.
The Iranians stopped being mad.
Arabs stopped worshiping Muhammad.
They stopped raping their cousins and stuff like that.
We were very proud, very happy about that.
And on top of that, the Israelis put their arms down.
They're like, you know what?
You hear it looks like Bernie Santa's voice.
We don't want to live here anymore, okay?
And they put their guns down.
And they're not doing fractional reserve banking and ruining the world's economies and make people mad at them anymore.
So that's really good news.
We are living in a really weird world where there's basically two groups of people.
There is the right wing, which are people that rightfully know that there's an infiltration in our government across the board from lobbyists as well as dual citizen politicians and evangelicals with poor theology that have locked us into some sort of a soul tie with a foreign entity that has basically allowed neoconservatism to destroy our birthright.
We have given up our destiny that now we have an Islamic communist that is about to run New York City, a $100 billion war chest.
But of course, they say, no, no, no, don't worry about that.
Remember, we don't like talking about Muslims being in charge, but it's the other Semites that we like to have in power.
I think they're both terrible.
Maybe if they both weren't around, our countries would be better.
But anyway, we're talking about that beef.
Plus, a Christian was crucified.
A pastor in 2021 in a Western country was crucified by one of those people that are lobbying our government.
That's actually kind of crazy.
An 18-month-year-old was attacked as well in these crazy acts of violence.
Plus, we have more developments and details coming up about Iran, Israel, and what Trump has to say.
We're talking about this and so much more here on another live episode of The Rift, Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern time.
Let's start the show.
Damn.
That was my Hodge Twins impression.
They're supposed to be coming on a little bit later in the show today.
My guests will be introduced around the 7.30 p.m. Eastern time mark.
But right now, in the studio with me today is a smaller team, but the best team.
We're live on YouTube and on X. Plus, of course, we're there on locals.
We have an exclusive locals only segment at the end of the show.
So make sure you sign up at ElijahSchaefer.locals.com.
But I'm proud to announce that after only 14 days of starting this show and YouTube channel, we are now monetized on YouTube, which means you should be able to send super chats.
So I just wanted to dare you.
I dare you to send some of your money to us.
Prove to us that you have it.
How do I know you have money?
How do I know you can flex if you don't send a super chat?
And by the way, for the first $100 super chat, remember, if you send $100, you get your super chat printed and put on our wall, which does nothing for you.
It's like when Rebel News, Ezra Levant, said he would lose weight if you sent him money.
And the win is that if you give him money, he loses weight.
It was very, very, very, very Jewish of him.
All right, let's talk about this.
So there's this riff running in the right wing where you have a lot of the old guard.
They call them, some people call them conservative Inc.
I call them my old friends.
And these people who are, you know, really holding on to this notion that to be America first, you cannot be against Israel.
It's a very, very contentious topic.
I'd say it's a sensitive one.
It's like, you know, there are sensitive areas to shave, right?
There are non-sensitive areas.
This is the kind of area that you got to be close.
Well, yeah, you could definitely see division right now, especially.
I mean, this has been exposing with everything that happened in Iran, everything that's been going on with, you know, just Israel in general.
It's really starting to make that rift.
So you can see who is being a paid influence, who's just trying to follow, you know, the neocon type of ideology.
And then the others who are stepping forward, like, you know, here at Rift, where we're going to tell the truth unapologetically and make sure that we're getting the message out there, regardless of how many times they come after us, because they definitely do come after us.
But we have a couple super chats, ladies and gentlemen.
First super chat ever on YouTube from Steve DiMario from Canada, too.
Damn it.
The Canadians beat you to it.
$10 from Canada, which is officially at 45 cents in the United States with their currencies lost its value.
Said, thank you guys for covering the crucifixion story.
Grats on the monetization.
I appreciate that.
Also on Rumble, actually, we got a $100 super chat.
Let's go.
Let's get a little bit of a, I would strip today.
I would strip today, but I just moved and I can't.
I'll strip late.
I will strip another day.
We will do it.
$100.
Hell yeah.
It's going to be a damn good show.
That's what it says on there.
Homer Jay Fuentes in the chat.
Let's go.
We got two super chats right off the bat.
And let's talk about this.
So I think a lot of times money does corrupt people.
And Steven Crowder, you know, Gerald, all you guys, you've said I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm not popular enough.
I don't have enough followers because these stunts are about getting followers and stuff like that.
We're just not cool enough.
We're not black enough.
They, you know, really, really have taken this pro-Israel side of things.
And I love that they act like everybody who's warning about Israel is lying as if like Israel went away and it's like this saga's over, folks.
Israel's closed for service.
You know what I mean?
We did it.
We beat them.
We won.
It's like, hey, by the way, our warnings about Israel are about because, hey, they've been saying that they've been trying to do this Iran stuff for like 30 years.
We know about this.
Steven comes out and says, by the way, everybody out there, he insinuates, is getting paid to do this.
This is a new thing.
Everybody's getting paid.
Laura Loomer even texts me, said that everybody's getting paid or DM me.
I don't have any problems with her.
I like Laura.
But then, you know, I asked her who's getting paid, couldn't give me a name.
No, I feel bad too, because I mean, look, dude, quarterback Garrett's gone downhill since the last time I saw him, right?
That's rough.
You know, this guy's just lying through his teeth.
And I actually said this because they've accused me of saying stuff online recently.
And I always respond back like, hey, why don't you have people on your show?
He does later invite people on a show that he called out.
You will know that one name is obviously coincidentally left out of the challenge here, which would be Nicholas Fuentes, of course, because no one wants to debate that guy because they don't want to debate him.
Now, why?
It's because they're afraid of their money getting taken, right?
That's really what it is.
It's because you're afraid of getting strikes, of losing the value, or of people, you know, looking dumb.
But, you know, we don't need to worry about money because we have super chatters like Punished Mav who's saying $2.
But it is funny because he's going, you know, this greater Israel project, this isn't true.
This isn't true.
This is true.
Netanyahu has spoken about this through his own voice in front of the UN.
And what I think, why I think anti-Semitism is on the rise or why this criticism of Israel is growing on the right, we're going to look at a video of, I think, a Maskowitz or the congressman warning about how the right wing is becoming anti-Israel.
One of the reasons why I think people or young people are becoming anti-Israel is the same reason they've always been anti-authoritarian, anti-establishment, is like when you can tell people are lying, like when you can see that Crowder here is just like shilling for an establishment, an institution, a country, and you know, you can watch the videos, you can see that Candace is not lying, and you can see that Crowder's like holding on to this sort of like Gen X boomer audience of people who are maybe uneducated or not deeply read or well learned when it comes to this topic.
You know, you can just tell he's lying and you can research it yourself.
And people start to go, you know what?
Why are people lying for this country?
Why are people defending this country?
They've got to be doing something for us.
And then you look at it and you realize they're not doing anything for us.
So then they must be doing something for him.
And you're going, well, what do they do for you?
And the truth is, is that what do they do for you?
I can tell you.
We used to work for the same company.
It's like, what they do for you is they guarantee you, you know, contracts, money, advertisers, right?
It's a safety.
It's a weak position to take because you act like you're on the moral high ground.
But in fact, you have the entire institution with you.
And then they point to us and they go, oh, no, actually, it's all, you know, the actors and everybody, everybody's for Palestine.
Everybody's against, you know, the Jews.
And you go, buddy, that's just not correct.
That's not correct, okay?
That is not correct.
I can tell you there's one group of people you cannot criticize, one group of people that you cannot attack, one group of people that you cannot go after.
And you don't even have to be against Israel to know that, right?
Even the people, even famous Jews, know, hey, you know, we're in control.
Yeah, I mean, they even asked, they had, it was Thomas Massey who was on Theo Vaughan just the other day.
And they asked him, you know, what does Israel do for us?
And he was like, well, they create more enemies for us.
And that's really what we've seen all across the Middle East.
They've been dragging us into these wars.
For Crowder to come out and say that, you know, this is not planned.
The war wasn't planned.
I mean, Israel's been trying to get us in war with Iran for the longest time now.
We've seen things like that in the Bush administration.
We've seen it in other administrations where they had this big push for us to go ahead and pretty much clear a path so this way we can change the leadership in each country and they can have more of a grasp on it so they can control it easier.
And just like you mentioned, the reason that they're doing this is not because Israel is doing great things for us, it's because they're getting their pockets full of cash.
You know, they're being pushed more on platforms because of their stance to stand with Israel.
And the one thing Israel does is not only does it pay you off, but it also has a habit of attacking you.
So if you do, if you go against whatever kind of message that they're trying to spread, if you say you're against war, if you say you're against them being, you know, the our greatest ally, what they'll do is they'll try to destroy you.
So it's like either take the money or we'll destroy you.
I mean, since I've been working with you, we've already had a few incidents where they've went out and they've reached out to our different kind of contacts in the industry.
You know, by the way, the last guy who went after us here is named Jordan Satachel, right?
He came after me recently, earlier this year, to try to undermine my working relationships.
Now, Jordan, by the way, I was asked, you know, to not say anything negative about him publicly for the sake of peace.
So I have nothing, I won't say anything negative.
However, I will tell you this.
You could do an early life check on him on Wikipedia and you wouldn't be shocked.
And also, if you go look him up on X, you'll find undercover videos sort of like what's that?
You know, what's that?
What's the organization?
OMG, OMG style, where they caught him talking about how he worked for the Israeli government and used to run fake online support groups on Facebook and different organizations to sign up and raise support for the Israeli state.
And so it's always interesting that, like, you know, when I look at the people that are attacking me or trying to undermine me, it's like this guy has a history of being a former Fed for the Israeli state.
These are these sort of dual citizenship, dual allegiance individuals.
And, you know, so I'm not surprised, right?
Because you can't serve two masters.
You either serve God or you serve money.
And that's why everyone thinks it's about dual allegiance.
It's dual passports.
You either serve Israel or you serve America.
And that's not the truth.
It's not about whether you serve one country or the other.
It's that you can only serve God or money.
And if you serve God, then you're going to follow the Lord God with your heart, mind, soul, and strength.
You lean not on your own understanding.
You acknowledge him in all of your ways and what he directs your path.
But if you serve money, then AIPAC directs your path.
If you serve money, then lobbyists and independent families and donors, gambling families will direct your path.
It's a spiritual sickness, but most importantly, it's a matter of allegiance and people that are willing to sell out their own countrymen, people that are willing to self-identify in a way to make themselves look good, right?
They have the appearance of godliness.
We were warned about there's many people, but they deny the power there within.
So they look like they're the better guys.
And then they look, listen to this.
Most of our politicians are midwits, okay?
They're actually not that smart because if you think about it, what is a politician's job?
It's somebody who's willing to make shady deals, okay?
And willing to be bought for money.
These are not great individuals.
You don't find a lot of quality politicians, right?
There's some quality racks on politicians we found out recently.
No, the Benjamins from men named Benjamin Netanyahu.
Yeah, you get some Benjamins from Benjamin.
But jokes aside, no, I'm just about Nancy Mace constantly taking shirtless pics.
Very bizarre.
Why?
Am I complaining?
No, but it is an odd thing that she does.
Maskowitz, Representative Maskowitz came out, and now he's adopting this phrase, the woke right, from you see Constantin Kissing was like slighting James Lindsay, being like, well, James and I technically came up with that phrase at the same time.
A lot of the names that they're coming out with nowadays, I really care less.
Anytime they say something like that, it just makes me be like, okay, I'm heading in the right direction because I'm not just molding to whatever the establishment wants to be.
And as you mentioned, a lot of these people, what they did is they sold their souls.
They're just following the money.
And I'm not saying all of them started out that way.
I believe a lot of the individuals did have a plan to try to get the truth out there, like me and yourself, where we just wanted to go out.
We wanted to make sure that everybody was getting, you know, the real story of what's going on.
But then along the way, unfortunately, they found greed.
They found that money, it's an easy victory for them, an easy way to satisfy themselves versus the actual thing that we have is this is a spiritual battle on this earth.
But before we do that, I want to remind you guys, don't forget that this, obviously, this channel, we're sponsored by amazing companies.
One of these companies aligns with our values.
They are a quality product company.
I'm talking about Van Man.
I brought this new vial today.
Many of you guys know I always have their beef tallow balm with honey and essential oils.
It's like all natural products, nothing synthetic.
There's no weird chemicals you can't pronounce.
This stuff is good for the whole family, keeps your skin moisturized, can use it on your lips when you're going out in the sun.
But I want to talk to you guys about this, which I had at my house all the time, which is their tallow and zinc sunblock.
And the reason why I want to talk to you about this because I found out that, you know, a lot of sunscreen, you know, it protects you a little too much.
You need to get that little bit of that glow.
You need to get a little bit of sun.
But also on top of that, a lot of these weird sunscreens are made with carcinogens, things that actually cause cancer.
And really, God made natural elements that can keep your skin protected from being burned, but still give you that sun exposure you need in order to adapt to the sun.
That's why I use this specifically.
This product right here, it's called the Zinc and Tallow Sunblock.
Make sure that you check it out from Vanman.
Now, one of the main things that we got to talk about about this one is that when you use it, can we mute them, please, on the thing there?
There is one thing that is uniting the left and the right, and that is Jews.
This is not just a problem on the left.
Go look what's going on on social media on the woke right.
It isn't just some Nazis in a basement anymore.
Okay.
Marjorie Taylor Green is holding up the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act because she wants to be able to say the Jews killed Jesus.
So this is a problem in both of our houses.
And pretending it is not is one of the reasons why we're not cleaning it up because we're just saying, oh, you know, you over there or you over there.
This is not going well for Jews right now.
And it isn't getting better, by the way.
We have not yet peaked to where this is going to go.
And yeah, we can talk about the legacy media all day long, Mr. Schneider, but that's not where we're losing the youth of this country.
We're losing them on TikTok, which is owned by a foreign country that the president now has extended beyond what the law has allowed.
I don't want TikTok to go away, but I want it to get out of the hands of the Chinese.
Okay?
They are doing the Nazi playbook.
They are dividing us.
They are funding.
They don't need to do it with B2 bombers.
That's not what the Chinese plan is.
The Chinese is to get us to fighting amongst ourselves.
The Chinese plan is to get us angry and divisive.
And the Chinese plan is to start with the easiest target possible, and that is us.
And so until we stop doing this, you know, who did what to who stuff, okay, we're not going to solve this.
Jews are losing their usual allies, those allies that we've had for decades and decades and decades, groups that Jews have stood up for.
We're losing them by the moment, especially amongst young people.
So, you know, I'm called a foreign asset, right?
That I'm a foreign lobbyist.
I mean, it's just endless.
Go look any post I put up, the hatred, the vitriol that's going on.
And so I appreciate this hearing, Mr. Chairman, but this hearing ain't going to fix shit.
Okay?
This is a virus that is spreading.
And until we're serious about stopping what's going on online and the brainwashing of our kids, this is going to get worse and more people are going to die in this country.
If you're just tuning in here, we have the Hodgswins coming on in just a couple minutes here to talk about some of this, this Wolkreicter making it into the Congress.
And we have Steven Crowder calling us all liars.
What's kind of funny about this is that he literally, I don't know what he's talking about.
unidentified
He's like, there's one thing that unites all of us and it's Jews.
Yeah, but my favorite part about Abdu, these people are such victims.
By people, what am I talking about?
Congressmen.
You know what I mean?
All these government officials are such victims.
This is why, again, I think a lot of unfortunate anti-Semitic activity is increasing with young people too.
Because when someone complains a lot about, you know, everybody doesn't like us.
Everybody doesn't like us.
And you're a problem for not liking us, but not explain.
Well, you know, why don't you address the problems?
You know what I mean?
And like I said, one of the problems is the dishonesty.
You know, a lot of these things, kind of like we saw with the graves of the Indigenous kids in Canada, remember how there was, you know, several dozen churches burned to the ground because of this outcry over the abuse from elders to Indigenous people.
And then they did sonar ground testing and they never found human remains.
And there was actually no mass graves of the Indigenous people.
And it was just a story made up to stoke anti-Christian rhetoric in Canada.
We saw this in Australia too, right?
You had this, they had the same narrative in Australia about, you know, kidnapping children.
It's an anti-white narrative.
What actually happened was that dads were molesting and beating their children.
And the missionaries ended up creating like orphanages and adoption centers and trying to save the kids from abuse because we are civilizing them.
And it's like, hey, you can't molest your kids.
You know, I mean, that's a hard ask for an Aboriginal, but you know, it's the least we could do.
You know what I mean?
Let's start there, sir.
He's like, oh, yeah, I can't do that.
No, you can't.
Why they end up getting Bogan Australian accents?
I don't know why they all did, but they do sound like that.
And then they were actually rescuing kids.
And then they have this whole like, the kidnapped child generation, you know, a generation of kids taken from their parents.
Like, oh, God forbid we try to prevent children from being sexually abused and beaten physically as well.
And, you know, a lot of this demonization happens of people who are trying to do what's right.
And then you get a lot of victimization and protection of people who are doing things wrong.
And I think that, you know, the main problem with this whole, you know, Crowder saying that Candace lied, everybody lied, is that what did we lie about?
You know, what are we lying about?
Are we lying about the fact?
What interest does it have for the United States to have an unarmed Iran?
They don't even have an ICBM delivery system to get a nuclear warhead into our country.
And even Trump, they go, well, Trump's been saying on his platform since the very beginning, he wanted to disarm Iran.
What did he say when he was in that golden escalator?
And he goes down, he announces his plans.
He said they could wipe who off the map?
Israel off the map, not the United States.
And a lot of us are asking the question of, okay, well, not that we want Israel wiped off the map, but if Israel is wiped off the map, what does that really do to our country?
How does that benefit us?
How do all the thousands of dead U.S. soldiers, how do all the trillions of dollars of lost money in our battles, how does 30 years of poor strategic international policy and foreign policy affect our birthright?
We've been gutted by the banks.
We've been gutted by these aristocratic, globalist international bankers who all happen to usually be of a similar ethnic heritage.
But we have these same people at home who are doing this to us.
And instead of focusing on our issues, they flood us with non-white immigrants.
They flood our countries like we saw in New York, right?
Where it's like non-white immigration is directly what led to the election of a Muslim communist.
We have 80% of Asian and Arab voters are what voted for him, right?
And we've tripled those immigration numbers since the 1980s.
Without the new immigration numbers, he wouldn't have been elected.
We're seeing real impacts of changing demographics that are leading to far-left, anti-American, anti-constitutional activities in our country.
But instead of focusing on fixing those issues and fixing our borders, we're focused on protecting Tel Aviv.
And I think that's where a lot of people are mad.
And you know what?
A lot of people are angry because you got to at some point ask, if everyone in the world hates you left or right, you know, I got kicked out of a restaurant in LA.
But if I got kicked out of, you know, 60, 70 or more restaurants, 199, maybe.
Maybe that.
Maybe I'd be maybe 161, including principalities and territories.
But maybe I'm the problem.
And I really wish that people would just start being honest because it's the gaslighting that makes people frustrated.
It's what makes me angry.
And when Crowder takes the defense of these people, and instead of actually, you know, taking a stand and saying, you know, people are rightfully angry.
They don't like what's going on.
He instead, what?
Attacks the people who are trying to warn people of what's actually happening.
It's just so tiring.
I don't have a stomach for 2018 political theater.
And a lot of it is a lot to do with a campaign that they're pushing.
I know we have a video we'll end up playing in a little bit where Candace Owens actually putting out a bounty because she believes that, you know, they have a campaign right now where they're having all these different kinds of influencers, micro-influencers, whatever you want to call them, to attack her to try to defame her.
And, you know, I believe that that is the case 100%.
A lot of these people, even the messages that they write on Instagram or X, it's just like an echo chamber of the same exact kind of comments.
So, you know, I am getting sick and tired of it.
You know, I think, though, the good thing is the American people are getting sick and tired of it.
You know, new studies show that 60% of people don't want anything to do with Iran.
A lot of these people now are starting to pull away from Israel's control on us.
I mean, really, the only people who are still falling for this are like the baby boomers and the older generation who just go, you know, they don't care.
They'll just follow endlessly.
But yeah, they have a habit of trying to change the narrative.
They don't want to put America first.
It's the last thing that they want to do.
And we see that.
We see it as our country crumbles, but yet we send billions of dollars over there.
You know, we want to have strong families to take care of, but yet we want to send them to war for another country.
So Steven came out and he basically said that all the people, I don't think he named you guys directly, but he was saying that basically Candace, Tucker, he didn't mention Fuentes by name.
I don't think he mentioned you guys, but he said everybody who's warning people about Israel, everybody who's warning people about Netanyahu trying to bring America into wars, we are all liars.
Called us all liars and challenged us to show our financials and prove we're not taking money from foreign interest groups and not being paid.
You guys have been accused recently of being paid, to say the least.
I got to ask you, are you guys getting paid by Qatar?
It's like, I mean, it's not like these things that we say about Israel is false.
I mean, look at the Iraq war.
That's the reason why we went to war because of bad intelligence by who?
The Jews.
Yeah.
I just don't like all the influence like the Israel government has over.
That's a foreign nation.
They shouldn't have any influence over us.
Yeah, and it's been that way for years.
And that's the only thing we're speaking out against.
I mean, you cannot be American first if there's other countries that has that much of an influence, an impact on your government.
That's what I'm totally.
They have so much impact over our government that if you don't support Israel, if you don't get APAC funding, it's very difficult to get elected in this country.
Osama bin Laden's nephew is now going to be the probable mayor.
You know, a lot of people, though, a lot of people on the right are saying that, you know, a bunch of young Gen Z people voted for him because he wasn't backed by APAC.
And he's the only one who stood on stage.
You see that?
Where all the mayors, that's crazy.
All the mayors were asked what trip they would take right after being elected mayor.
And every single one of them said Israel, even one guy said he would go for his fourth time to Israel.
And Imam Dani was the only one who said he would stay in New York.
And they're saying a lot of young people voted for him because they hate Israel.
Yeah, I think majority of this country is against Israel.
We know Democrats are totally against them.
Well, their voter bases anyway.
And you can see this rift between fake MAGA and real MAGA, supposedly, that there's it's not real strong support from the Republican side either.
Yeah.
And I think Trump wasn't really aware of that.
I'm sure he's seeing what's going on with his constituency.
There's a total rift between Republican voters right now.
We're fitting to find out how much influence Israel has over elections because if he's not taking money from AIPAC, Soleimani, whoever his damn name is, Eric Adams is probably, he's probably going to get a huge donation to Eric Adams.
Well, dude, you saw what happened to Brandon Herrera, right, down in Texas.
He was about to win, and then they primaried him from his own party.
And they ended up, what, giving a few million dollars, exactly $6 million, they said, to the cent, you know, not a dollar more, not a dollar less to make sure he didn't win.
And no one understands that AIPAC, the reason why they're so powerful is because they fund both sides.
When everyone says the una party, the uniparty means that AIPAC ensures that anyone who runs will be pro-war.
They don't care if you're pro-abortion or anti-abortion.
They don't give a shit if Roe v. Wade gets overturned.
What they care about is that when they want to drop bombs on Tehran, that the bombs are dropped.
I think that whole thing that's going on in Iran, him bombing, I think that's a political favor he did for Netanyahu because Bibi Netanyahu got him elected.
How much money did Trump get for this past election?
Yeah, two, but I mean, and by the way, it's probably more than that, too, because, you know, people also talk about the fact that, like, what about all the money that went to his cabinet, right?
They're like their administration.
So it's like, if you combine like Cruz and Rubio and the rest of the Republicans, they can donate even more money.
So we could be talking about like billion plus dollars put into the pockets of Republicans and guarantee that they're able to run.
I look, and this is why, this is why I want to hear from you.
Look, Crowder's my old colleague at Blaze.
I've been on his show many, many times.
We've never worn a dress together, but we, but dresses have been worn.
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not in support of it, but I do feel like they do show, like they're still like stuck in this old school conservative mindset, and they haven't evolved to really see what's going on.
And I don't know, is it Gerald?
Is it Stevens?
I like them.
I like them all, but it seems like they still have this like pro-Israel old school mindset.
And he's sitting there in lawn chairs with Babby Nitton, whatever hell his name is.
Now, I thought that when I saw that, it actually pissed me off.
Yeah.
Because I think what's going on in that area is a genocide.
It's ethnic cleansing.
And for him to post that, I was like, why would you post that?
And when you look at the satellite photos, it looks like something out of a movie.
It looks apocalyptic.
And if that, that, that meme he came out of Trump hotels and this paradise, like, I don't think he was joking because when you really look at it, Gaza Strip and West Bank, that's some of the most beautiful real estate in the world and it's holy.
And I think he wants a Trump hotel.
He wants a Trump hotel.
And Netanyahu wants all those people gone.
Because when he said he was going to take all the Palestinians and move them somewhere else and get in their own land, I think he's serious as a heart attack.
If you look at this, it's actually, I saw this girl.
I want to hit on this here.
I know you guys.
Yeah, this is the video right here.
This girl posted that, you know, oh, Iran hit a hospital in Beersheba or something like that near Tel Aviv.
Oh, yeah.
She goes, Isn't that a war crime?
And I go, Yeah, Israel destroyed 36 hospitals in Gaza, including Christian hospitals.
It's like, it's like everyone's like watching Israel get bombed.
And here's what I thought was crazy.
Nobody cared besides our politicians that Israel was being bombed.
Like everyone's like, yeah, well, I mean, you guys, this is what happens when you spend years killing civilians and you tell us that it's funny and it's good and you make jokes like this.
I think that the people's patience for Israel, even the civilians, has run thin.
No one said it's untrue, but it's like, but it's work smarter, not harder.
I mean, the reality is, is like, I've seen what you guys do and how you guys work.
And look, the thing is, with some of the stuff, it's happened to me too, man.
Like one time I said, I said something and I was like, oh, you know, anybody who's saying that the, you know, Patriot Front are all feds is lying to you.
And then someone pulled up a post of mine that was like, oh, like, don't follow the feds, follow the government or something.
And it was like something my intern had posted like two years ago.
And you're like, and then it was like, so, you know, so, so what do you say?
And you go, hey, you know, we've got over a dozen employees here.
We produce several different shows.
You know, there's a lot of people working on things.
Sometimes people are just going to post stupid stuff or like randomly get it wrong because you'll get some like really young intern who's like kind of basic and you're not going to discriminate.
And you don't, it's not like, hey, you got to hate Israel to work here.
You know, so it's like they might not have the same, you know, viewpoints.
And then they post some kind of, you know, Magatard stuff.
And then, you know, you take like any job.
If someone put the wrong price on an item in a grocery store, you might just say, hey, like, you know, just because they missed, they missed priced the banana for $50, I'm not going to charge you $50.
You just make a change.
I think you guys got a lot of shit for that.
And everyone was saying it was proof you guys were like bought and sold.
I'm like, it's either A, either A, an intern or an employee posted it, or B, there's like some contract that they had and they had like some lobbying contract.
I lobby for the GOP and stuff myself.
Sometimes I'm like, you know, hey, like, sometimes, you know, I voted for Trump.
I'm trying to support him.
I'm trying to work with him.
Sometimes, you know, I'll have to like help get policies passed or things pushed.
I'm like, you know, I do wish that this, you know, budget or this thing would be different, but in the end, you know, I'm going to at least fight for the budget to be the best that it can be or something.
You know, I'm going to fight for it to actually, you know, represent us.
Even if an ideal world, I would have a different choice for this.
I got to work with what I've got and I'm going to do the best I can.
And sometimes you end up just promoting things to help, you know, get shit done in the government and actually help, you know, get politicians' point across.
We're not trying to lose.
We don't want Trump to fail.
And I think people think, my opinion is this.
I think people want you guys to look bad.
They wanted to smear you guys, not because they care about your reputation, not because they think you're grifters, but I've seen this with everyone.
If you speak out against Israeli occupation and control, they will try to make you, they will try to ruin your reputation and make you seem like you're a bad person or dishonest so that people don't listen to your opinions on Israel.
Well, well, that's that's not, I don't think people understand.
You know, our founding fathers, whether people like it or not, you know, they knew what's going to happen.
If you bring in a culture, a culture is the identity of its country, right?
And the culture is an ethnicity.
And so, look, the point is, is like we've all, we still had a hard time integrating blacks after slavery.
I mean, look, look at them.
I mean, it's, it's, if you're, if you're a decent black guy, yeah, you don't even want to live around your own people.
So, you know, the reality is like, so what?
We couldn't get blacks integrated.
So we're going to bring in even more people.
Australia is the same way.
Australia used to be one of the safest countries in the world.
And now, since they let in Somalians, this is not even a joke, they're thinking about banning machetes now, you know, because they're banning machetes.
Well, it's not even, it's not even just destroy it.
It's like, I don't like also conservatives I've noticed.
Like Vivek was like, forget about New York if you don't want a Muslim.
Come to Ohio where you might get an Indian governor who worships demons.
You know, it's like, that's what he literally said.
He's like, come here.
I'm going to be the governor.
It's like, bro, I don't Pakistanis, Indians.
This is kind of the whole problem.
Also, Vivek, put your shoes back on.
Why do you have your shoes off in interviews?
That's some weird shit.
But also, it's like we live in this culture where it's like a joke.
Yeah.
It's like, where do I want to live?
Shit-ass Ohio, no offense to Ohio, where I have an Indian demon guy, or do I want to be around like a communist Muslim and get killed by a crack addict?
What if there was a different option, which was like a white country, you know, where like we didn't have this stuff?
I mean, I hate to, I hate to point it like it's a race thing, but the evidence is there.
Like when white countries, like our founding farthest, when they came here, that if those men were brilliant, the things that came out and the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, man, if it wasn't for that piece of paper, we wouldn't have a country right now.
But thank God for that.
But anyways, like the people that come in our country, especially like whether you're from Africa, regardless of their skin color, you just need to look at that culture of that country.
If that culture of that country doesn't, if it's not, what's the word I'm looking for?
Compatible.
If it's not compatible for the United States, we shouldn't let these people come in our country.
Like the South African Africaners that they're letting in this country, they came here, those immigrants that was fleeing, being persecuted because they're white foreigners.
They came here waving an American flag.
They wanted to be America first.
They wanted to be Americans, United States citizens.
Majority of these people from Africa and all over the world, regardless of the skin color, they don't want that.
They just here for a handout.
They're just here to be a leech.
They just want to, they don't care about America.
So why do we let these people in?
I remember my wife was getting a citizenship and then Trump was the president back then and he came up and gave a speech to all the people that was getting a citizenship.
And I think that people are denying it, but you guys see it.
They come here and then, like this guy, Zamani, or whatever his name is Zohan Mamdani, they go, I want to change the country to something that resembles my home.
I want to destroy this nation.
And that's why we can't let them in.
It's not because of their skin color, which would be based if that's why we didn't let them in.
But the reason why we don't let them in is because their culture.
But I wanted to say, you know, just to give Crowder some credit, because I know Gerald, you know, finds my clips and stuff too.
Look, I'm not saying that Crowders want to clarify.
I'm not saying Crowder is in love with Israel.
He didn't say there aren't people that are obsessed with Israel.
I know that he gave a good diatribe about the balance.
I just said that there's something about them like, you know. not wanting to acknowledge the reality of how bad the situation is of Israel controlling us.
And the Hodgkswins are only just saying that, yeah, it's because they're evangelicals.
And a lot of evangelicals, they just believe they're the chosen people.
They don't realize that we're the chosen people because it's kind of like sad.
It's like, well, if they're the chosen people, then why would I even be a Christian?
Why would I even accept Jesus if the blood is more for them and they're more special than me?
Then there's like kind of cheapens the blood of Christ.
Yeah, I think a lot of evangelicals, Christians don't even understand or don't even aware of that Judaism doesn't accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
It's like a pagan religion.
And the thing about Stephen Crowder and the things he's going after, I think mainly he was attacking Candace because they've been going back and forth because Candice, Winnie, really went hard on him when he was going through his things with his wife.
So I think there's something personal going between those two.
Yeah.
And I think it might, maybe he's lumping everybody else just has the same opinions.
I don't know what's really going on with that.
Yeah, I think it has a lot to do with that because she really put him on blast for that was going on.
And a lot of the information she was putting out there wasn't true.
Yeah.
He was just going through a dirty divorce.
And I think he's holding a grudge against her.
Yeah.
Because I don't see why those two can't get along.
He said when he was on Bannon's, he uh Bannon's worm recently, he was like, Levin has this weird like relationship where he has this like control over Hannity.
And he said it's always been kind of weird and that like he doesn't really know how to explain it.
And like, that's like, you know, how women are impressionable?
You know, if you're banging a hot chick or whatever, she like forms to your opinions, right?
And she thinks you're like a god.
Maybe that's what's going on here.
Maybe there's like a little bit of like, maybe there's like a big fat guy bone fest going on at Fox.
We got Bloodshot 567 said, can you ask the Hodge Twins if they're willing to invite Lucas Gage on the show?
Yeah, I'll text them.
You would want to have Mike text their producer because they don't plan their stuff.
Yeah, you'll ask him.
Yeah, okay.
He'll ask him.
Some other super chats.
Down to Earth, $2 said, Q for the Hodge Twins.
How much longer are they going to be a part of Mug Club?
I noticed Crowder quit name-dropping them.
Is dishonesty about the Jew influence?
Is us really trimming off?
I'm not going to.
Some said J-Proof.
I'm not going to ask him that.
It's like, hey, why don't you guys ruin your relationships with someone?
I didn't know they were part of Mug Club, and I'm having them talk about Crowder.
That's actually hilarious.
By the way, too, at least this show's not an attack on Crowder.
One of the things that's always bothered me is it's kind of like, I had a good relationship with them, and I understand when Crowder was at Blaze why he wouldn't have me on because, you know, I was employee of the month there.
So people are jealous.
They don't want to have me on because I, you know, would upstage them.
That's, you know, that's the only reason.
No, but I understand that.
But then, like, now it's like, like, you know, I think after all the bullshit when people turned on him publicly, I get it because I got kind of PTSD too.
When my friends turned on me, no, I'm just saying, a lot of people turned on him.
You don't know who you can trust and you think people might be trying to like come and like, you know, cause problems.
I like Crowder and I would love to have like real conversations and discuss what's going on.
And, you know, for lack of better words, just to like be able to just like, I think it would really help his reputation and stuff if he had more people on that were from our camp, you know, including the Hodge Twins.
You know what I'm saying?
If more establishment people had us on, I just never, I don't know why.
They just stopped like inviting anyone who kind of thinks like me or thinks like this.
They sort of like won't have us on anymore.
And it's the only thing that changed is the way one topic, really, you know?
By the way, if you're watching on Rumble, make sure that you please subscribe to our new YouTube channel.
It's in there.
We just got monetized today.
A lot of you guys don't want to make a Rumble account to Super Chat, but you already have a Google account, so it's easy to kind of like get your questions in.
Tender Bear Line also said Hennessy is not the only black on Riff TV anymore.
If we're going to make a risk here and say something on the channel here, you've got to at least make it, you know, got to at least do what APAC doesn't.
I literally was like, hey, you know, I knew this episode, even though Rift is obviously much more collegiate and a little more like educated than previous shows that I've run, it's actually a little more in line with you are here and what we used to do in terms of like the level of conversation.
I just don't dress up as much because I had time then.
I didn't have to sit at a desk.
I could dress up and stuff.
Very, very popular at the Conning shows putting on outfits, you know?
And they love the guys to dress up.
But no, but that being said, don't forget, guys, as we transition to our next story, don't forget to check out Man's Edge.
Imagine dragging this Man's Edge across his face.
You know what I mean?
No, Man's Edge is one of the only ways that you can naturally boost your testosterone levels in your body without having to get an injection.

I'm putting this in my pocket because I still haven't tried this.
People have, and I need to actually try this for once because I want to try it.
All right.
Going down here and continuing on, it is interesting.
Somebody else who's in hot water, we're talking about people who are not hot water.
Matt Gates, when is he not?
Actually made a statement and said that Israel doesn't want peace.
Simon Joan also said, how did you get monetized on YouTube?
You don't have to do anything you're ashamed of.
No, what I actually had to do is destroy all my shows, shut down my main YouTube channel, start from scratch in the middle of my career and gamble on starting a whole new channel.
And thankfully, though, thankfully, shout out to our investors who have made that possible.
Honestly, shout out.
And then shout out.
Literally, there are people who believe in the mission here in Rift.
They believe in what we're doing about not being controlled by foreign nations.
And so we have, you know, American people who invest and care about us.
They do have dual citizenships to Qatar, but other than that, there's nothing weird about them.
Check this out.
Here is Matt Gates dressed up as a corpse talking about, that's the wrong, you're on the wrong split, sir.
If Trump is right and key nuclear sites have been destroyed, what is Israel still fighting for?
Regime change, obviously.
We told you that from the beginning.
That's what this is all about to Israel.
And it isn't regime change for the sake of turning Iran into a long nation-building exercise like Iraq.
Israeli elites believe they are better positioned in global markets if places like Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh are smothered in tens of millions of war refugees.
They want these rich Muslim markets to look at skies full of missiles, not a future of opportunity.
I think it's that simple.
This is a gut check moment for Israeli prime minister and perennial war advocate Bibi Netanyahu.
Will he bend to Trump's demands for peace?
Or will he continue his air bombing campaign to decapitate the regime of Iran?
They knew if he was in office, he would have given them pushback and he wasn't just going to go on their bankroll and just be easily controlled.
And that's what we see a lot of these newscasters is just the fear, the fear of actually speaking the truth to say what's going on with anything that has to do with Israel and to speak against any of the military complex.
I mean, you've seen what happened to Tucker.
Tucker was on Fox.
He started talking about Ukraine and other things.
And then next thing you know, he got booted off as well.
So, yeah, they scare these people into not saying anything.
And I give shout out to Matt Gates for actually speaking up and pushing against it because, unfortunately, as you said, this is not what we want to talk about every day.
This is not what we want to be doing every day, but it keeps leading us to the same place.
The road always ends up at the same location.
So we end up, you know, that's why here at Rift, we do talk about these topics that many find controversial or even scared to speak on.
You know, the good thing is, if you fire me, I'm not getting paid anyway in this place.
So, you know, I'm really either way, I'll be okay.
But also, I like it's a but uh no, I was gonna say, what's what's that?
It actually is a lot of fun, but what's stressful is that it does get really fun.
So here's what happens.
It's not a joke.
Like two, three years from now, if God, if we really put our heads down, we really work and things get stable.
Like once everyone's doing really well and then like you're getting in and you're like having a kick-ass life and you're getting to do this, then it's really fun.
But in the beginning, when you're trying to get this stuff running and going and a lot of things aren't working and you have to keep retrying things and you have to really, you know, there's a lot of stress involved in it.
Sometimes what ends up happening too is you do a startup.
It grows a lot and then you kind of get self-dependent people leaving it shrinks and you get like a really like tight group of people that have been there for years.
And then you get this like really nice little core going.
And then you sort of like, you know, you just kind of keep going and the new people come and go on the exterior, but like you get this good internal group and it's really fun and you get each other's back and you help each other out and you're each other's, you know, you know, baptisms for the kids and everything.
You kind of like grow a family in the media world.
It's always fun.
Like I used to go over my CEO's house, stay the night, go hang out with their family, whatever.
And even now, like 4th of July, we're all having a massive barbecue together.
It's like going to be a ton of fun.
We're getting a bunch of fireworks, a bunch of food.
I got an Airbnb.
We got a Sana.
We got a little pool.
We got jacuzzi.
We're going to be doing some really good cigars, probably like at least two or three cigars that day.
Probably drinking a couple beers, maybe.
Perhaps a couple, maybe 20.
No, we decided no shots.
No shots on.
That's really just me talking to myself.
You know what I mean?
No shots, dude.
All right.
That being said, someone also, I'm just kind of hanging out with the chat here in the end because I'm just happy.
This is like a monetization celebration here.
Someone also said in the chat here, when Riff TV, and someone said YouTube is better than Rumble, it's stupid over there.
Listen, the reason why YouTube is also the future is like we're like averaging a few hundred like live viewers on a channel with only like two, you know, 4,000 subs.
I always hit 4,000.
My point is, is that like back in the day on YouTube, before I got hit, we could get 10 to 15,000 live viewers really easily on YouTube, but then they delete you.
And then Rumble, it's like, unless you have a cult following that like tunes in for you, people usually watch casual shows like this can't find you anymore.
And then people just think you stopped producing on YouTube.
And now that people are finding out we're back on YouTube, we're building the audience, but like having a 300 live viewers with only 4,000 subs is like incredible.
Imagine if you had 500,000 subs, that would be like 30,000 live viewers.
So it's actually pretty incredible to see the amount of people that are watching and tuning in.
I mean, we have episodes of 30,000 views already on YouTube with what, just a couple thousand subs.
I know a lot of people have different things that they want to say about YouTube, but YouTube's where the money's at.
YouTube's going to help us be able to grow this organization.
I know you have a bunch of shows in mind that you want to start getting ready to launch and just really grow this network and bring us to the next level.
So I'm excited about it.
I think, you know, great things ahead for Riff TV, and I'm just glad to be a part of the ride.
No, but I appreciate those of you guys that are around.
Someone also said, is Elijah on drugs tonight or something?
That's a question.
That's a good question.
Have I been on drugs in the recent past?
No comment.
But not tonight.
No, I haven't been on drugs on this show.
In the past 14 minutes.
No, since I sobered up.
No, I haven't been on drugs in the show.
I don't think, or like any time since I've like.
Yeah, I think, I think, but I did, I did used to get high sometimes and do shows like baked, you know, at Blaze, but that's different because I'd just be like, Tom McDonald, that song's really great.
That was crazy.
A couple people said, I'm on drugs tonight.
Rich Potato said, Elijah, looking extra cute tonight.
Thank you so much.
I'm really blushing here.
And someone said, so this show is casual question mark.
Yeah, tonight's just a casual show or whatever.
The Fascist Network said this is probably the most mainstream show I watched.
Got some good guests and stuff.
It's good to hear.
I really appreciate it.
A few of you others who are in the chat said, I watch everything on Rumble if I can.
All the best shows are on Rumble.
Another $5 super chat air horn from Noah S99 said, thank you for laughing at my cursed ligmas.
You guys, so let me tell you about something kind of cool.
So we kind of are finishing the show today with some chat.
And usually when it's like a slow news day, there's not a ton of stuff.
We'll try to like do the last 20, 30 minutes of the show, just interact with you guys, talking.
This is what I always used to do.
This was my vision was to be able to be on YouTube, monetize.
We could talk to you guys, do chats, some free chats.
But if you want to invest in a permanent super chat, head over to locals at ElijahSchaefer.locals.com.
It is a way that you can join.
If you're on Rumble, you can hit the join button.
If you're on YouTube, let me just throw the link there as well to the locals channel.
But you can join for free.
And right now, we're not charging you or anything to join.
If you want to become a paid member, it'd really help the show out a lot because we do bring out a lot of contributors and stuff.
And to be completely honest, I do pay for that stuff out of pocket.
You know, I've been paying for it out of pocket.
You know, just to kind of get thrift started has cost like a lot of money.
It costs several hundred thousand dollars to launch this stuff and get it going.
And some months, you know, it'll be $10,000 more to like fly guests out and do the whole thing.
So it could be as much as $20,000 a month for travel and to do stuff to bring people out.
It gets really expensive.
And your guys' support makes it happen.
And we don't charge you to watch the show.
It's not behind a paywall.
We appreciate you guys supporting.
So, if you want to give back and you want to go on, we'll also interact and take your questions on this.
You don't have to, you don't actually have to pay on Rumble.
You can buy super chats on locals, but you don't have to.
We'll just take your questions for free.
Interact.
So, for the last like 15, 20 minutes of the show, we're going to be talking about some really crazy stuff, some funny stuff, only on locals.
We'll be right back to those of you guys that are watching.
Make sure if you're on YouTube, if you're on Rumble to like the video, subscribe to the channel, and follow us.
It's so important that you do, especially on Rumble and on YouTube.
