My name is Brayden Sorbo, contributor for The Rift, actor author of Embrace Masculinity, Lifting Men Up in a World That Pushes Them Down, and here to have a good time, cracking open a drink with you as well.
Well, yes, they have an unlimited food source, but the scariest part today was the fact that the White House said, what could we do to get people on board with this?
And they gave an all-access pass to Benny Johnson.
So like, I don't like, I mean, I don't know what they were thinking.
It's like, can we like not, there is a club, by the way, I will, I will leak something here that I don't want to give details on, but it is true because our friends that work in the White House, there's literally an approved list of influencers that they can work with.
And one of the stipulations is they can have no public criticism of Israel ever on their public rap sheet.
They cannot be even not being anti-Semitic.
They cannot publicly have been critical of Israel in an informative way.
Or you do not get invited, which makes sense why it was mostly a bunch of rabbi juniors that got the Epstein folders.

Send that link to your friends and family.
Let's talk about this.
So obviously today I woke up and, you know, my life's perfect and I'm enjoying everything that's going on in the country.
I love it.
I love it so much.
You know, sometimes I just get on my phone and I look at X and then I don't look at the shotgun in my closet and think, could we end it now?
Big, beautiful bill.
What does Triple B stand for?
Or big, beautiful bullets in my head.
I've been feeling over the edge recently because the life feels comically stupid.
It is incendiary in its own means, but also as we're going to talk about these stories, I feel like we are at a precipice in the development of our nation.
When you look at it historically speaking, I've sense a feeling that people know something's terribly wrong right now in our country.
They're aware that our empire is declining.
Nobody's hiding that.
You can't even hide that in Nancy Mace's cleavage.
The truth of the matter is, yeah, it's true.
She's the one uploading the pictures, not me.
It's very bizarre.
But I just want to state this.
It has gotten to a point to where, from the anti-white rhetoric that's going around to the $100 million from the DHS to combat anti-Semitism, to our leaders being more loyal to Israel than they are to the United States, to Trump talking about deporting and, you know, blackmailing Elon Musk and his companies because he wants to start a party to now calling Thomas Massey not a patriot.
As we jump into the top story today, I just want to belabor the point.
And I want to hear, gentlemen, if you're with me on this, something feels incredibly off.
And it seems like unless something very serious happens within the next 10 years, we are past the point of no return and that our society, it'll be slow and then very fast all at once.
She was joining for a show that I was producing for.
And no joke, no joke.
She's behind the camera.
She's getting ready.
She's in the hotel room.
She comes in here, unbuttons one button and goes like this.
Yes, it happened.
Of course, the rule of thumb is you don't record before the interview.
But man, there was probably something else going on at that hotel room.
I'll tell you that.
But look, she is an example of the decline.
Like our politicians are women.
They're trying to sell sex instead of sell any kind of policy or any kind of productivity or any kind of successes.
And this bill you're talking about, you just spend five minutes looking through some of the extra crap that is in this bill and the gaslighting that you have to kind of endure or be completely ostracized by the party, by the way.
The thing is, yeah, but the thing is, I read a bunch of it.
I go, I can't.
No, I literally told myself, I was like, look, I can't take these angles.
What I can do is I can attack some of the people that are trying to gut the good things out of it, right?
Like, I'm like, I knew that that's a good angle.
A few people had offered me, could you tweet this?
Could you put this out?
Could you do this?
But one, one, one campaign I did take, which I thought, well, I can't say anything else because of NDAs or whatever, but it was like, hey, there's literally a Republican who's trying to change the minimum votes up from 51 to 60, not only to make it harder to pass the bill that we wanted, but also they changed things in the last minute, like gutting some of the funding for ICE, for deportations.
They took out some of the remittance taxes.
You know, we were going to tax Indians.
Sorry to everyone here, but yes, we were going to tax the Indians.
And, you know, I think it was what, gonna be 2% or 4%, and they cut it in half.
We got all the good stuff gutted.
So I was like, well, I'll attack the people that are trying to gut the good stuff.
Unfortunately, when I was originally like coming up with some of my posts on it, it took me a terribly long time to find anything good in it.
I'm currently staying in Lake Worth, which it's not a lot of valuable people in that city.
All I can say is it took me about 15 minutes to buy a sugar-free sprite at the 7-Eleven because a guy was talking about Michael Jackson and orgasms and stuff and tapping his foot and dancing.
And me and the Indian guy who ran there were like, wow, these Lake Worth people are really annoying.
And I'm trying to get my drink.
I am very aware that a lot of these people have made it that we need to run fast because unfortunately, we're not safe as long as they live in our cities.
These Lake Worth people, they're in every city in South Florida.
It's becoming like that.
It's insane.
Anyway, I want to read about the bill.
We're going to talk about this.
We're going to talk about the Diddy case.
We're going to talk about some of this stuff going on because it's a partial verdict reach.
Let's get into our top stories for today.
Let's talk about the news.
And there you go.
Well, the Senate passes President Trump's big, beautiful bill, despite three GOP no votes.
Vice President JD Vance breaks the tie.
Steven Miller came out before this even ended and said, This is the greatest thing ever.
Trump delivered on everything.
He'd done everything he said.
Remember when he campaigned and said that we're going to fight for Israel more than this country and that we're going to bomb Iran?
Remember when he said that?
Remember when he said that?
Yeah, no, I don't remember that.
Anyway, Senate passes this bill.
Check this out.
Colin Leinbarger report from thegatewaypundit.com.
People know I'm also a journalist at the Gateway Pundit, and I have a show there.
Feel free to check it out.
The Senate has passed President Trump's big, beautiful bill, sending it to one step closer to becoming the law.
It's big.
And whenever we're calling a bill big, I did want to bring this up.
So one of the reasons why they don't do a standalone bill right now, apparently, is because we don't have enough votes to actually do standalone.
So a lot of people asking, why don't we just pass the budgetary concerns we want rather than this, you know, extremely stuffed bill that we had to call big.
Like, I like how usually you hear of a bill that's big about budget and it's bad, but they're calling it beautiful.
And usually I've always told people when people like try to tell you things in government are amazing and beautiful, it usually means they're expensive and there's a lot of crap in there.
It's usually considered to be overly excessive, right?
And yeah, it's because of a rule, I believe, that they have one shot at doing it with a two-third or obviously less than that, it's a majority because we don't have a budget pass for next year, right?
And so you can, it really is none of us would approve this if it was under Biden or Obama.
Like we wouldn't be down with the government basically circumventing the processes that were treatment.
We'd have entire episodes being like, this is waste and fraud.
And look at the earmarks.
Because it's Trump, it's scary because what I've noticed is that it's really a loyalty test right now.
If you're not loyal to Trump, they treat you like libtards or shitlibs, like as if you're like, oh, Trump's a racist.
You're like, I'm not saying anything like that.
I'm just saying, hey, Trump has sold out to special interests.
And right now, currently, his domestic and foreign policy doesn't appear to be exceeding my standards of what I expected from what he was going to do.
And I think a lot of MAGA people think the same thing.
The fact that this is going to secure the deportation of 5 million illegals by 2030 when Trump just today said 21 million actually might have come in during Biden.
You're going to get 25% of the illegals, just the illegals, not even the legals.
That's a great point because obviously when they're talking about illegals, they're not just talking about the criminal cartel members.
They want to sneak in, obviously, a class of worker that unfortunately looks like me at times to come in and do what they consider to be high-skilled labor.
But one reason I think you're correct to want to shoot your brains out, please don't do that.
But why is it because you have a memory and you remember 2017, 2018, how we were constantly told under the first Trump administration, we couldn't afford a wall.
It's too expensive.
There's no way you can find $100 billion to build a wall.
You might have to fundraise one and then cause a paraplegic person to go to jail for it.
That's a separate episode.
But in regard to this, we've somehow found an extra $2 trillion.
And we're not modernizing the military.
We've still got the fat black women holding drones in their hands at our parade.
But I mean, this is when we're talking about the bill ruining for the country with everything being passed.
It's just like when women online will comment, oh, my girlfriend is so beautiful.
And it's like one of the most unattractive.
That's basically what the bill is.
It's the government telling you, it's this one beautiful thing, when in reality, it's like pixie haircuts, when women tell you to look so cute with your hair short, the bill's so big and beautiful and it's like, interesting yeah, that's what she said.
51 5150 5150, which is how uh, i'm gonna get charged with that probably pretty soon.
Um, you know, because the way I feel honestly, when you start seeing a lot of like pro-white tweets from me, like in a row on x, you know that i'm like the blood of my ancestors who fought in the revolution is like flowing through me.
You know, i'm just like I hate the way they.
I hate, I hate the way they treat us.
In fact, so funny.
We were at a.
We were at uh, the Green Goddess or whatever.
This, our favorite cafe, is that we always go to and um, this young guy, he's like he's a white guy.
Maybe he's white, I don't know, but uh, he's like he said something about my, my credit card.
I was just messing with him.
He's like oh, it's heavy.
I was like yeah, what's heavy about it is it doesn't have a limit, but it's a business credit card, so they don't have limits.
And he's like oh, you must do something, you know whatever.
It's like, not yeah, I run, I got.
I go yeah, I run a media company.
And he goes like, how'd you get started doing that?
I go oh, by being racist.
And he goes huh, I go yeah, I got into this from being racist.
He's like, how so?
It's like I tried to get two jobs and I discriminated against for being white in La.
I got tired of the racism and realized that everybody hated me because I was white and I decided that I was going to use the rest of my life to fight against these bullshit ideas.
And he's like so uncomfortable, you know, like like he didn't know what to say.
Mind you, he's working.
But I just was like just realizing how cucked we all are and how absolutely ridiculous this this has become, that it's like, you know, a white guy's even like scared to acknowledge the fact that there's a lot of people that hate white people in this country and they're, you know, really working to destroy us, and I think that as we talk about this bill I bring this up a lot of this is a reminder that a lot of this waste is because we have about a hundred million people in this country that shouldn't be here clogging our streets, using our infrastructure.
We are, you know why La is too crowded?
Because they didn't design the freeways in La expecting 10 million illegals and legal Mexicans to flood lat.
What it was designed for, that's not what our cities were made for.
New York Itself included these, these cities, even Florida.
It wasn't made to have another four or five million Cubans flooding the streets like that's not what, what our founders designed the country for.
So, when you think about these bills reminding you that we wouldn't have this problem if we were in a homogenous society unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever get there.
So the best thing we can do now that I believe, is to find people that are, at least even if I don't think it's just finding people that are the same race, find people that are the exact same mindset um, and want to preserve white culture, want to preserve white society uh, people that you know.
Maybe they have come here 30, 40 years ago.
Even now that realize that what's happening is is horrible, and what I realize here Is as expected, this article says two of the GOP no votes came from Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and disgraced Rhino Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina.
The other no vote came from Susan Collins of Maine.
Trump came out and said that basically, why is he disgraced?
I only care about this country first and foremost.
And specifically being from this generation, it's not like I could actually relate to voters with the struggles that we all face.
That would be terrible.
We need someone who is a mom who got a bunch of money from foreign lobbying interests and who is now going to sit and promote anything that isn't America first, besides the fact that biblically speaking, sorry, guys, from the Christian perspective, women cannot lead, not because they're worthless, not because they're less valuable than men, but because they have different capabilities.
Men can't give birth.
Women can.
That is the difference.
That doesn't mean men are less than women because they can't give birth.
People really are idiots online because when you say one thing, they immediately assume.
What's the fallacy called again?
Where you say, oh, I don't like waffles.
And they go, well, that means you must love pancakes.
It's like, or maybe I'm just not a fan of breakfast food.
By the way, to clarify, someone asked you who you were, and I said, this is the guy when I mentioned earlier that there was a black guy, a Lake Worth guy, Stand Time, the 7-Eleven worker.
I do want to talk about this because I want to get to the bill, the provisions, because everyone's saying, you know, some of the chat says, I'm being pissy, right?
About the bill because it codifies Trump EOs.
And yeah, it does.
So I'm not upset.
And there's things in the bill that I'm not upset about.
And we'll cover those.
But I also know that there is probably so much waste and fraud that if the whole point is, is that if people were not so in the Trump cult, we would be actually getting probably a lot better research of what's actually in it.
Because no one wants to say it because they don't want to fall out of line.
I'm tired of people telling us we're being pissy or telling us we don't understand politics defectors.
If we're unwilling to call out, you know, if we're willing to call it the compromise, look, if there's a rule in town that secures your home, but there's also a provision in that same rule that a bunch of black guys get to bang your wife, you wouldn't be cool with this, with this rule, right?
I mean, it's like, it doesn't mean that because we get a couple good things and then we get completely screwed in the other hand, that we somehow should just accept that we've moved maybe one step.
The Republican Party, being in the Republican Party is like essentially makes you a bonnie blue of politics.
Not only are you getting ran through by everyone and their dad, literally, probably has happened, but you're supposed to enjoy it and like somehow advertise it.
Like it's fantastic.
And when you fall the line, everyone's like, oh, dude, you're turning against us.
I'm not turning against you.
You said something very important that I wanted to repeat.
You really read what do we want as a country?
When you read what our founding fathers wanted, what they wanted was a nation, which is unfortunate for a lot of people in this room, but they wanted a nation for upstanding white Christians to have a country.
That's really what this nation was.
And obviously, it's not what it is.
And obviously things have changed now.
So rather than, this is why I'm not a big WigNat guy, because rather than looking like, I think a lot of WigNats remind me of women where like you ask a woman, what do they want to eat?
And they say they don't care.
And then you give them two options and they don't want either.
You know, it's like, it's like, you're basically doing the same thing where it's like, well, I want a white, supreme society of just whites.
And none of these people are like, okay, okay, that's fine.
Like, I'm not saying you're wrong.
I'm not saying it's a bad idea.
How are you going to do it?
And no one can ever explain it to me.
No one ever explains it.
And it's like without having to murder a bunch of people.
And it's like, okay, then go murder a bunch of people.
By the way, I'm saying this in context.
I'm not calling for violence.
I'm saying, hypothetically speaking, obviously they're not going to do it.
It's like, it's a lot of what they present to the world is like, is the equivalent of guys showing you a girl that's universally hot and being like, would you F her?
You're like, yeah, dude, but that's not our class of people.
If you think back to this, a lot of people don't talk about this when you talk about the Constitution of the Founding Fathers.
The Founding Fathers were the majority of them in their 20s.
They were the Zoomers of their age.
And they really were rebelling against the mindset of the boomers of their age, right?
The boomers that drug those Americans into the French Indian War that kept in this ongoing, pretty abusive relationship with the Crown.
And I mean, Elijah, you've kind of put your money where your mouth is by working with a lot of the up-and-coming patriotic Christian Zoomers, you know, Brayden being one of them.
I'm going to say, some men have rested their heads there.
And I said heads plural too.
You know what I mean?
But anyway, wow.
But anyway.
Oh, it's got to be a professional show.
But MyPillow has everything.
Plus, by the way, they have this new energy drink called Rev7, which I've been wanting to try.
And the reason why I want to try it is because it doesn't have caffeine.
It has a nootropic called GoBHB, which actually helps your body to have focus and energy without the jitters.

Please do so.
It's really important.
But I want to read what's in the bill here real fast.
Okay, so it is the passage comes after Democrats stalled progress for hours this week and it's a 940-page bill.
After that, the Senate embarked on a massive vote around, which ended late this morning.
The legislative legislation accomplishes several critical policies, including making the Trump tax cuts permanent, eliminating taxation on tips and overtime, locking down the border, and taking an axe to Joe Biden's green energy scam.
Senator Lisa Murkowski has flipped and is now a yes on the One Big Beautiful bill.
And this was thanks to Senate Republicans reportedly doubling the rural hospital fund from $25 billion to $50 billion.
Alaska, of course, has a large rural population.
And before the vote, Chuck Schumer was able to strike the name Big Beautiful Bill from the bill's text.
How childish and pathetic on his part.
This is a breaking news story that will be updated as we go along.
We're not going to get too far into it, but I'll just kind of conclude here.
Dude, Gateway, Punnett, and Rumble for sure compete on the best ads possible.
Like, you know, like you rumble, you'll be like, oh, I want to watch Big Beautiful Bill.
I've heard there's a lot of mid-roll ads, which, by the way, you should just buy a Rumble membership to avoid that.
Or you can buy a Locals membership and watch it on there too without any ads.
So you can watch it on Locals, which we have.
But it's like, I love what you'll be like, oh, the Big Beautiful Bill.
And it's like some AI Joe Rogan voice.

Promo code Joe.
You're like, what the hell?
I don't even know what the, I don't even know what it is, what he's talking about.
Like, legitimately, we talk about the big, the big beautiful bill, the big, you know, bastardized bill, but I tell you this, we really should be protecting our parents from the rumble and the ad scavengers.
Like, our parents are getting, like, they're getting scammed by Nigerian princes daily.
By the way, I don't ever want to talk smack on anyone's wife or marriage, so I'm going to say this without any commentary.
But if you go watch the Young Women's Leadership Conference at Turning Point, I love Turning Point, by the way.
Believe it or not, I'm not against Turning Point.
I like Turning Point, I like Charlie, I like the guys there.
I'm not against them.
But I listened to his wife tell the story of how they met, and it was like, she was like, you know, and when we first locked eyes in Israel and we were at the wall, and I was like, who is this guy?
He's so cute or whatever.
And then, like, I approached him on the plane.
Wait, was it our first trip to Israel the other?
No, maybe it was our second time in Israel.
I don't know what Israel trip it was.
You're like, well, you guys have gone to Israel a lot, haven't you?
And it was like, and she was like, basically, like, you know, you never know when you're going to Israel.
If God's going to bring you your husband, I was like, so now we're telling girls you got to go to Israel to get married.
This is getting out of hand.
But you know what?
Charlie's a better man than I am.
So I have no judgment.
And his wife's beautiful and she's a lovely lady.
But, you know, he's a wonderful guy.
I really like it.
I do like Charlie.
He's always been really kind.
You know, I just think that, you know, selling out to Zionism is a unpardonable sin, you know?
So I just think that it's, you know what I mean?
It's one of the worst things you could do is to sell out to the people who are destroying our country.
I find that to be somewhat sad, but I still like Turning Point.
Yeah, so I'm still on the so you go to Turning Point.
I'm still listed here as their approved speaker.
When you go, when you go, as you're a college student and you want a speaker, it gives you a list of a speaker bureau of who can speak at your college.
And I'm on there, so is Candace.
But every time someone tries to book me or Candace speak at their college, we're told that the funds are no longer available.
But it's like, it's like, I'm the only turning point, approved Turning Point speaker other than Candace who's not allowed to speak at Turning Point events.
And reminding you, I spoke at all their main conferences.
I did tours with Charlie.
And then about October 8th or October 7th, 2023, I think it was about, I don't know if I have the date right, but I stopped being allowed to speak at Turning Point events.
Well, I mean, I always find it interesting how everyone loved Candace for a long, long, long time.
You know, because I remember when I was 13, 10 years ago, I spoke at an event and that was when I met Candace and Charlie.
And Candace was barely getting her start, right?
This is when Charlie had first discovered her and she'd been maybe on like two podcasts, but everyone could tell, oh, she's well spoken.
She's smart, you know, all this stuff, blah, blah, blah.
And then for the past decade, she's been super high up in terms of conservative media speaking.
Everyone's like, wow, she's right about everything.
She's right about all this.
Oh my gosh, she's so good.
And then she says one thing.
She's like, how dare you, you traitorous mongrel, awful person.
It's like, okay, hypothetically speaking, if I was right about every single thing that I ever said, would I just stop being right all of a sudden just because I said something that you didn't like?
Just a personal, personal question people might want to reflect on.
So like, okay, by no means am I anywhere near as influential or ever had as big of a career as she has had.
And she's more talented than me too.
But I do say this.
It's kind of funny because it's the same thing.
Like with like being on the website, it's like, how could you take me off your website?
Like, what are you going to tell me?
What did I say or do?
What have I said or done that isn't fighting for America, that isn't around, what am I doing that I can't, like, why would like, they have to tell you, hey, you're getting removed on the dildo or kiss Milo Yiannopoulos.
But I mean, I still don't understand because I like Milo.
I think he's a talented person.
I think he's funny.
And I appreciate him.
I got a lot of my like mannerisms from him.
I actually watched him like religiously.
I used to go pay to go to his shows and shit.
I really enjoyed it.
And I got beat up for the first time by Antifa outside of one of his shows in California.
And I got radicalized me, you know?
So I got a concussion.
So thank you for that.
But on a side note, I did say with the Candace thing, the problem with this stuff is it's like, you know, I'll talk to people and they'll always have these reasons of why they don't want to work with me anymore.
But they're never saying, oh, because you lied or because you did something abhorrent or it's always just like, you know, the way that you've taken this, what do they call it?
Israeli derangement syndrome, Israel derangement syndrome.
You're like, dude, okay.
I'm not carrying a Palestinian flag around.
I'm not calling for Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth.
Sir, you guys literally called for Palestine to be turned into a parking lot.
And Randy Fine is celebrating bombs being dropped.
I've said, you guys, your government is horrible and you people are mental.
Your people, it's a degraded society that celebrates death.
And it's psychotic to try to restart that nation in the middle of all of your enemies and then try to force the United States to paralyze its own growth of its country and have Europe taking the refugees of the people you don't like.
And you're just mad because we're calling it out now.
And instead of like arguing with us and being honest, you just, you have to act like we don't exist.
However, after being fully canceled, which Candice experiences too, after getting fired, when I was in Australia, a lot of people wouldn't work with me that will talk and work with me now.
Why?
Because they realize the right wing is shifting.
And if they don't make some shifts, it's sort of like why Matt Walsh was allowed, is allowed to kind of go attack dog now because they needed to save.
Daily Wire was failing financially as a sinking ship.
They lost arguably one of the best up and coming talents.
I mean, we talk about the investment among the Zoomers and really pouring into the next generation.
Brett Cooper is, it's now established.
She was great talent.
Fox News picked her up.
And I think what you're speaking about, look, the other weird wave of the Republican Party has been that this past month, you have people like Steve Bannon and others now basically saying the exact same thing we were saying three years ago and that we were losing sponsors over or being removed from platforms over, getting fired from the Daily Wire.
I mean, literally, what Steve Bannon said on his show and was advocating for over the last couple of weeks would have got you fired from the Daily Wire only two years ago.
But again, where do we go from here?
Because I don't know if you feel this way, Elijah, but it definitely to me came off a little bit fake, right?
Hearing somebody, and I think Charlie Kirk even he maybe went the route that Steve Benner went, everyone, a real America's voice went the route of condemning somewhat of the support of Israel because it wasn't.
Even though they've all taken multiple trips, right?
And I mean, for Steve Bannon, the only saving grace out of this whole thing.
I'm not a fan of Mark Levin either, but I was watching that back and forth between Steve Bannon and Mark Levin, where Mark Levin is digging up all the skeletons on Steve Bannon from the, you know, from the Build the Wall fiasco that led to essentially Steve Bannon's indictment and imprisonment.
People don't know about this, but there was a parapolic man that went to jail for the 25 million that magically disappeared and Steve Bannon was able to get free.
But all the way up to, I mean, Steve Bannon literally spent like 20 hours with Jeffrey Epstein prior to the arrests.
Cocktails and $5 said, invite Lily back on sometime.
You know what, Lily is welcome back on because I told her not to say the N-word in front of Matt Gates, comms director, at the episode that we had to delete.
And then I found out that Earl Gray, if you want to know where he's at, he's traveling right now.
I found out he's the one who told her to say the N-word live.
Like I found this out later.
She's like, he sat there and said you'd be okay with it because he's a tease.
And he's the Riz.
He's the Riz King.
We all know that Earl's the Riz king.
He literally is a Riz king.
Bring any female guest over.
And suddenly there's like, they love Earl.
And he apparently was like telling her, just say the N-word, do it.
He loves it.
He's going to think it's so funny.
And then she says the N-word while we're in the middle of a serious stream, like Jim Hoff design of like the gateway pun and stuff.
Like, wow, we're doing this, huh?
No.
But I originally was like, okay, you're not coming back on.
That's ridiculous.
And then I find out it was our fault because our editor-in-chief asked her to use a racial slur on the show.
So shout out Earl for hilarious stuff.
But also, Lily, you're welcome to come back on.
We'd love to have you on.
But please don't use the N-word on the show until the last segment if you like, because we're trying to stay on YouTube.
It has no carcinogens, doesn't cause cancer, and gives you a little bit of sun exposure.
You can see I'm not like fully pale.
Like I have a little bit of like sun exposure.
And so, you know, you want a little color, little, a little, little bit in the skin.
And I like to have that.
So make sure you grab some of this.
It's probably like equivalent to like SPF 15 or like 20 or something.
So it's not like SPF 50, where you're like, you know, the sun doesn't hit your skin, but it doesn't let you, you don't get burned and it doesn't go, it doesn't get off in the water.
All the products they make are the products you use at home, but without all the toxic chemicals, get 10% off with promo code Elijah at vanman.shop slash Elijah.
Dude, literally, can I ask just a question about one of our guests?
Do you know what blew my mind?
The Christian nationalist that was on RC was sitting there, and the whole time I'm thinking, like, he's a Palestinian or something.
And he's like, you know, growing up as a white kid.
And I just like look at people like, and my eyes don't work anymore because everyone on my show tells me they're white.
Speaking of Southern European guests, ladies and gentlemen, Edward, I don't know if you say your last name on the internet, so I don't, yeah, yeah, Edward Zoll is a southern European.
Also, someone said about the show with RFH that was two shows of nonsense.
Someone said in the chat.
All right, let's move on to the Diddy things.
But by the way, it says the panel said that it has reached a verdict on all but one of the charges in Comb's sex trafficking case, but it will continue deliberating on Wednesday.
By the way, in the future, guys, when we come back, we're going to try to hit more stories as we're going.
We just, our main writer for today's show is his birthday today, so no one wrote the show today.
We're getting into Alcatraz Island after this, the new Alligator Alcatraz.
New York jurors and Sean Diddy Combs federal trial told a judge on Tuesday that they had reached a verdict on all but one of the charges in his sex trafficking case, which could send the music mogul to prison for life.
After more than 12 hours of deliberation, the panel said it had decided on four counts of sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, but it had not been able to reach a unanimous decision on a charge of racketeering conspiracy.
Told jurors to continue deliberating Wednesday, which both the prosecution and the defense supported.
He goes on to explain that Sean Diddy Combs trial, blah, blah, blah.
It is your duty as jurors to consult with one another and to deliberate with a view to reaching an agreement, he said, repeating his instructions from Monday morning.
Each of you must decide the case for himself or herself, but you should do so only after a consideration of the case with your fellow jurors.
And you should not hesitate to change an opinion when convinced that it is erroneous.
So basically, from my understanding, we don't know what.
And then the ones that they have not, the ones they have not is simply count one, which is the RICO conspiracy charge.
And, you know, this, the RICO conspiracy charge is actually arguably the biggest because you make the argument now, if you've been to a Diddy party, that you were party to the abuse.
And there's a question about this in by itself.
I mean, I know there's been many questions about TPSA parties, after hours, this language.
Are the leadership responsible for what the attendees do?
Well, in respect to Diddy, we've got most of Hollywood that has attended these events.
And also people like Neil deGrice Tyson, which I did tune in, by the way, for a couple of days of the trial.
Did you know that Neil deGrice Tyson is accused of going to a couple of these parties and engaging in homosexual sodomy?
I would trust you and Milo Yiannopoulos much more than I'd trust many of the mainstream conservative influencers and other people because they're just doing some really weird stuff behind the scenes.
They act like they like the one thing that I like about at least the progressive, I call them the progressive right because you know like Jack Doherty, these guys are not Democrats, right?
You know these like these these girls and stuff.
I mean even the porn stars, they're not Democrats.
They're actually Republican by the way, which is why they're always that turning point.
At least they're honest.
Like at least Jack Doherty is a piece of shit and like just like runs an online prostitution ring, you know, with girls.
And like people don't know who this is.
Maybe you're a little bit older.
It's like a young streamer, right?
He really is a POS and he genuinely like the way that all these young streamers work now is that like they all have OnlyFans and run these girls OnlyFans.
And the way that TikTok and YouTube are used is to draw people into the OnlyFans.
So they don't get ads or monetization.
They do make adult content, right?
But one of the crazy things is, is that, you know, I can respect a guy.
Like it sounds, this sounds really weird because I'm going to get taken out of context, but like, this is why I can have Eva Lovia on the show where people melt down.
It's like, I can respect a porn star who, who, for at least being honest, I don't respect the making of the adult content.
I don't respect the position.
I'm not respecting a porn star, but I'm like, if that's you and you're owning it, I can talk to you because we're dealing with a real conversation that we can have here.
We have a real interesting conversation about your life and what's going on.
There has been a collective cooking of this generation, right?
Yeah.
And I think that some of your generation has kind of you've decided there's just so much material that's compromising of you on the internet that you're just like, you're taking the route of your students don't care anymore.
Like we're just going to normalize all of it, right?
And it's not to say everybody's done this.
I mean, sure, Brayden, there's probably not anything like that of you out there, hopefully.
But your generation you grew up with, I mean, there's probably been a lot of girls, you know, that maybe stuff in high school.
Well, it's better than doing the stairmaster for an hour a day.
You know what I mean?
I would rather do that than walk up flights of stairs.
But I remember I was talking at a conference about one in 10 women are on OnlyFans.
And that's just, you know, that's just the people that are willing to admit it.
You're talking about people being real or authentic.
There are plenty of people who are still ashamed of it who won't go out and say it.
I mean, I ended up going out and then my buddy was talking to a girl whose friend ended up being an OnlyFans girl, but she didn't say that, right?
So this is, these are the people that still hide.
And so to your point, Elijah, when you're talking about, you know, well, people being authentic, at least the people who have gone through, like, like I said on my interview with Sarah, right, that episode, I said I myself wasn't perfect.
I struggled with pornography, but at least I'm willing to admit that rather than curating this idea of, well, look, I'm the perfect golden boy and I've never done a bad thing in my life.
It's like, no, I am a sinner who needed God just as much as anyone else does.
And that is the message that I want to portray.
That's what we want to do with, obviously, that's why I like the rift is because we're portraying, even though we may disagree with someone on some doctrinal viewpoints or theologically, we're still willing to have the conversation because they can respect our viewpoint as authentic and honest, just as we can theirs.
No, but I was going to say, no, I mean, you don't sin every day.
I sin every day, you know?
And I mean, like, it's a genuine thing, you know?
And like, do you know what I love, though?
I don't, I feel like I'm going to be one of those girls that's like, how old are you?
Oh, you're 28.
You're a baby.
How old are you?
I'm 29.
Okay, I feel like I'm going to do one of these moments, but I do think there's somewhat something nice about Gen Z is that sometimes the only thing that they've done wrong is like pornography.
And it's like, oh, millennials don't even think that's wrong.
Everyone just looks at porn.
It's, it's like, yeah, millennials, I feel like millennials were like the last generation like went out and did bad stuff.
And like, I got pulled over several times drinking as a minor.
And, you know, that's pretty great because, you know, if you have alcohol and there's a minor in the car, hopefully it's you or else you're going to be in a Diddy case.
You know what I mean?
But no, yeah, but it's like, we used to drink.
I remember like crazy.
Like, do you ever see those videos where it's like, mom, are you fine?
Me, yes.
Me actually dying in a field of alcohol poisoning at 15, you know, hoping I'm going to survive the night.
Like, dude, you used to be crazy.
And like, parents would let you drink.
Like, you know, growing up, you drink at your friends' houses.
And we'd have backyard parties.
And now it feels like Gen Z doesn't do anything.
So like, that's actually kind of good in its own way.
But it's like, they're actually having the least amount of sex of any generation.
Yeah, but I'm saying, but the policing now, like, if you go to liberal sides, it's like a bunch of just me too stuff now.
And like, like, everyone's just like, like, I even watched them, like, I couldn't believe this was like a real podcast.
There's some kid that was interviewing one of Zerka's friends, and the guy was like, I feel like I was like in an episode, like what Mormons say that the world's like, you know, like, you say a Mormon propaganda piece.
The guy's like, Zerka doesn't do drugs, man.
And the guy was like, no.
In the bathroom at Jack Doherty's place, Zerka and I did cocaine.
And the guy's like, oh, he really does this.
He goes, dude, no way.
Zerndo doesn't do drugs.
Like, bro, is this, bro?
You've never done Coke, brother?
Like, it's like, it's like, no, but I'm saying it's Coke, dog.
We have a if anyone's ever in the area and you want to, oh, Homer, if you're watching as well and you want to meet us at the cigar lounge after, text Mendoza and let him know if you want to come.
It's like, mix that with alcohol and you're like a motor mouth.
But it's like, I'm more like in the mode where like, I think Gen Z also like a lot of Gen Z are so like it's kind of this way of like I've said, like, if you ever like look at a lot of porn or you're in sin for a while and you do a lot of sin, no matter what it is, like it's like if you drink three, four days and a well, bro, you feel what?
Horrible, you never want to drink again.
I think Gen Z kind of got brought up into like, there's, they just have so much like porn and corruption and things around them that like you probably just, it's kind of just gross.
Like you're like, it's like, I don't even want to be involved in it because I see what happens.
It's like you get into porn, all of a sudden, you're gay, you know?
And that's what happens to people.
So I think that it's like, you know, it's just, it's a real, it's a real thing.
And so you're just like, I'm just going to just separate myself from the world now.
And they always say that's like literally Gen Z are a bunch of like prude Amish conservatives, but they're godless, which is weird.
They're like godless, but they're, they're also modest, too.
The Christian ones do, but then you get the other side of Gen Z, which is like the millennials before, where they're just like, we're just going to go crazy because the world doesn't matter.
And there's no God, so I can do whatever I want.
And so they're the ones making the porn because obviously 85% of guys in America have admitted to watching porn in the past month.
That does not lie.
Well, like, it does include a significant portion of Gen Z.
I mean, 18 to 25 year olds aren't even approaching women.
It's like 45% of them haven't approached a woman in real life.
So they're just watching porn.
And so all the girls are moving over to porn, like the OnlyFans thing, because it's easier for them to make the porn for the men to consume to just perpetuate the problem.
And then you have the extremists on the other side who are like the Christian nationalists who are just going, well, I'm not going to partake in any of this.
I'm just going to wait till marriage because statistically speaking and scientifically speaking, couples that get married and pray together have a 99% chance of success, only a 1% chance of divorce.
It's like, I would rather have one successful marriage because I grew up in a world looking at what broken homes do to children and what broken families actually do to the communities around them.
And I don't want to perpetuate that problem.
It's called, it's a pastor was talking about it.
He said, it's your, it's, it's generational curses, essentially.
So it's like, as my generational curses that I've been handed down, whatever that may be, I'm going to break them.
You know, my dad, his grandpa, or my grandpa, his dad, didn't hug his kids.
And it's like, I just reminded myself, you know, my son wakes me up often.
He's like, wake up, dad.
And he's like, play, play.
And he doesn't know how to play, but he's trying, you know?
And I just like, you know, now like what he wants is time with his dad.
You know, what he wants is quality time, right?
He just wants to be together.
And there's like the sense that, like, you know, I just want to make sure that like, I don't not spend time with my kids because my parents spent time with me, but it's like, you know, we have a startup going here and it's a lot of work.
And, you know, it's tough.
You know, it's just a lot of hours of what we men, men would relate to this, you know, a lot of guys out there, you would just work long hours.
So you work a lot of days.
Most of you probably work six or seven days a week if you're trying to support your family.
Like the whole idea of like having weekends and stuff.
What the hell?
Like if you have a weekend, you're probably doing handiwork and you might even have a second job.
Like, I don't know any man that doesn't work six or seven days a week at this point.
It's, it's tough, but you know, reminding you, it's like, we can't lose sight of what matters.
Like you said, why are we doing what we're doing?
Make sure you spend time with your kids.
Make sure you have kids.
Make sure that you, you know, that you have children, you spend time with them.
And also, it's like, and you figured out.
So I figured out, it's like, I'll just spend time with my kids in the morning because I don't have time right now at night.
So then I'll, you know, wake up really early.
Like, you know, it's like, you got to wait up at like six and then you come home at like 10 and it sucks, but that's when you have time.
That's when I have time.
And so it's like, it's, but it's tough, you know, and I'm not going to lie, it's tough.
But I would like more time with my kids at night.
I would like to see them grow up.
But unfortunately, we need to talk about the big, beautiful bill.
The things that we would like to spend some money and spend some resources.
If we're going to go into debt for, we'd like to probably get some more time to spend time with our kids, you know, have kids, have families that you don't, it's not going to take up 80 to 100 hours of your week to produce for.
You know, but here's the thing with it.
Both everyone at this table, we're generations that have essentially been used by the older generation, right?
The porn that Brayden was speaking about, this issue, they were okay with this industry exploding, right?
I mean, this industry really rose through the third industrial revolution, the expansion of the internet.
And of course, one of the biggest content expansions during the internet was porn websites, right?
Our parents, you know, God bless their hearts, man, they didn't do enough to protect us from this stuff.
All right.
And moving forward to, I mean, the Diddy stuff.
Look, the Diddy case, that's happened in every city in the country.
It is younger people that have been used and abused by celebrities, politicians, and other people.
I mean, the Justin Beaver case is a microcosm of what's happened to many younger people, both in conservative media all the way up to entertainment.
You know, most people I knew in LA were taken advantage of by adults.
And you know what I mean?
Like, it's, it's like, you can tell.
Like, I can look in his eyes and like tell that, like, you know, he has a lot of pain and a lot of trauma in those eyes.
You can just see it.
I think everyone relates too, but it's like, that's, yeah, like you said, this generation just like they cashed in on us.
Like, it's kind of like the debt how we're like, oh, future generations, they made all their decisions and they never had to live with the consequences.
They never have to because their $200,000 home in LA is worth $4.5 million now.
And it's like we were saying, where does like, like, even with now, it's like, who has money?
It's just the middle class then is now the upper class now because they retain their money and then they don't even like give it to their kids.
It's like, well, you got to earn your own money.
I got to go to go.
They blow it on cruises and stuff like that.
It's like, you're a Nepo baby.
Do your parents, I'm going to put your parents on blast here.
Do your parents set you up for success or have they, have they done the white crime, which is just sail you off into the third heaven and let you struggle, struggle session yourself into whatever life you have.
No, so I was homeschooled and through that was forced into writing my first and then second book.
Obviously, I did it of my own free will, but also it was definitely recommended, which I wish I could have brought right here because I forgot because I'm an idiot.
But I started my social media without my last name attached.
When it started blowing up, is when I finally attached my full name to it, just to prove that I could do it to myself.
And then, yes, my parents certainly helped because they care about me and they want me to be successful.
And at the same time, I pay rent via small loan of a million dollars.
I freaking wish, man.
But no, I work for everything I've had.
I've saved every dollar I've ever made.
When I was eight, I used to catch frogs next to the golf course that was like close to my house after school.
And I would sell them for a quarter outside karate class.
I did everything in my power possible to make money starting in first grade, you know, and so you get the whole Nepo, but it's like as parents, it is your job to set your children up for success.
And so some people are going to have a better go than others.
I understand that I have been blessed significantly more in different aspects than other people have.
And at the same time, I have been not blessed where other people have, right?
So it's like I have had different struggles than other people would have, i.e., with pornography and other things like that, where other people had a better, you know, spiritual life growing up as a kid or, you know, whatever.
But my parents certainly have helped fundamentally mold me and set me up so that I could become self-sufficient so that I didn't have to worry about, you know, like, like trying to, I, you know, they say the Nepo baby means like you just got raised in a nuclear family that raised you well.
And you're like, and then you like meet people from your hometown now and everybody is like, basically, this is sounds so elitist.
And I'm not talking shit because I help the people in my hometown.
So I'm not like casting doubt on them, but it's like people, they don't know how to help themselves.
And it's just like, it's like, it doesn't make any sense to me.
Cause I'm like, I grew up poor and with no examples.
And I just told myself every day I wasn't going to be poor.
And so I did the greatest thing you could ever do to make money, which is work in a field that is the most censored and demonetized means of living in the entire country.
We're pretty, we're pretty, you know, biblically literate too.
We can, you know, bring this back to the parable of the prodigal son.
And if you think about what we're describing here, it is right for people with resources for parents to pour into your children.
I mean, you think about the prodigal son, one lesson is that really that son had to go out and really learn just how crappy the world is when you try not to work inside the parameters of what God's given us.
Two, the dad didn't give up on him.
Right.
I mean, obviously the dad in that parable is God.
God's never going to give up on us and is always looking down at us and trying to help us every aspect when we're pursuing the mission.
But in this respect, parents and the boomers really should take note of this.
Not only should they be happy to give to Braden, Elijah, or myself, but don't hold it over our heads, too.
unidentified
I know that we've had Kevin Sarbo should be giving stuff to be an Edward.
No, but with the investment, I just bring up the fact that it's like, it is crazy to me because the world I was told, like, I was told how to survive in the world, and I wasn't ever told that, really.
It's like, I was actually like, I was actually made to a really weak person.
And in like the way that the world works, like even conservatives be like, you just need to go to a gas station in Mississippi.
That's actually, we actually are very multi-we're very multicultural, a very multicultural business.
But no, but in terms of the actual standards for what we want, I was just saying that like one thing that we lost, you said the vision.
We never taught our kids, like my generation, we're not taught what our purpose was here on earth.
We were given bullshit answers, like it's to honor God and live for God.
But what does that mean?
You know, because you get a lot of this stuff in our culture about like that's passed down where people think they did something, you know?
It's like, oh, I taught my kids to live for God.
What the hell are you talking about?
Because like these pastors will be like, you know, we can't mix God in politics.
You know, God says to provide for your wife, look out for your wife like God loves his church and provides for his church.
And you go, okay, well, guess what providing means?
It means working a job.
And I was never taught how to make money.
You know, rich people are taught how to make money work for them, not work for money.
And I've had to figure out how to make money work for me, not very well, but it's still doing better than my parents did.
And then you go down with beyond that.
It's like, nobody tells you, you know, it's like, well, just don't do drugs.
Sometimes you need to to get through the day.
It's called caffeine.
Anyone do it before?
I need it almost every day.
So it's like, nobody tells you the fact that like, you know, when you're going through life, you know, people are mean and evil and people are going to destroy you.
And, you know, you live in this gynocentric world and you need to try to fight evil, you need to crush evil.
But how do you freaking do it?
Parents gave themselves these ideas.
Even churches do this today where it's like, be a good Christian.
Don't be political.
Don't do this.
And it's like, you know, if I'm going to protect my wife, I've got to make sure that Lakeworth citizens are not near my neighborhood.
You know, I don't live in a Lakeworth town.
You know what I mean?
And it's like, that's a practical decision.
Like, why are white parents not telling their children?
Like, I had to tell my wife when she moved here, if you avoid interactions with Lakeworth people, your chances of interacting with random violence or problems on the street is going to go down about 90, 99%.
The chances of you being randomly mugged, killed, anything, if you just stay away from these people in general, where they congregate when they're in groups, I had to give the thing.
If you're in an amusement park and you see a bunch of groups, them gathering, leave.
We don't go to water parks because these people are there and it's dirty and gross.
Like, why does no one telling their people?
It's all just like these ideas of like, you know, honor God and work hard.
It's like, why don't you give real practical advice?
Tell me how the world really works.
Why?
You don't want to be mean?
Because guess what?
I learned it the hard way, right?
I almost, I've been accused of things.
I've been attacked.
I've been everything, you know, physically, mentally, spiritually, constantly censored.
No one told me how nasty and crazy the world is.
I learned one way or another.
And now I'm prepared.
I'm going to prepare my kids and tell them the truth.
But our parents fucking lied to us, man.
And they just, they lied to us by keeping away the reality of the world because they didn't want to be racist and sexist.
Well, the cost-benefit analysis was completely incorrect on their behalf.
They thought they were helping us by not revealing to us like the horrible nature of the world.
And also that they took the rebellion against their own parents way too far because a lot of them will say, oh, I don't want to be tough like my dad was.
My dad was a World War II veteran.
He used to beat me as a kid.
He used to be tough.
He used to tell me, you know, he used to be really harsh for me.
You know, sometimes you need to be told those things because the world's going to tell you those things.
You might as well hear it from your mom and dad who love you.
Right.
And then you'll have some time to get over it.
The world doing it in a job or in a relationship.
Well, the world is tough.
So there's no way we're about to.
I mean, with the marriage thing, no one tells you you're going to get in fights with your wife.
No one's going to tell you you have to eat crap sometimes, you know, in regard to, you know, not really giving it back sometimes if you're getting screamed at by your parents.
He goes, no one ever tells you growing up that it's okay if you hate your spouse sometimes.
Like, I raise that on the show.
He's like, he's like, it's okay because there are seasons where you will, if you're married for at least five years, you will, there will be seasons where you literally start to despise each other, hate each other, and that's okay because you're seasons where you love each other.
No one says in marriage, it's like, you know, hey, you know, young guys, get married.
I'm like, hey, guys, marriage is a lot of fucking work.
And it's not because I'm talking about my wife.
I'm talking about all men, period.
You are voluntarily putting a woman in your house, you crazy psycho fucking freak.
You're letting a woman in your bedroom.
What are you doing?
You know, like it is crazy.
It's like, you have this creature.
You know, those games you play, but then you go hang out with the boys.
You got to go back home to that every night.
You got a game.
You're not in a constant game.
You're in squid games, right?
It's squid games.
That's what you live in.
It's what marriages.
But I'm not saying this in a bad way.
It's like, it's like, yeah, but just like working out and things that are that are, you know, very hard and take a lot of dedication and discipline.
The reward is great.
Also, reward, like, it's like people, you know, you know, separate children and marriage.
Like, guess what you can get in a marriage when you're you can get children out of it that have a mother and like there's some benefit of having a stable mom that you pour into to raise those kids so that you have stable human beings because you know, so you like have some purpose because having kids brings purpose.
Like it's literally insane when you have kids.
Like I miss my heart aches for my children like all the time.
I'm sitting in my office and I'm like, you know, gonna sound gay, but I love my kids.
I know it's kind of gay to say that publicly, but I do love them.
No, but yeah, no, but no, but I'm saying, like, it's genuinely like, I'm sitting there.
I'm like, I love my son.
It's like, yeah, marriage has value.
I just think like even with marriage, anything, like, nobody like, why I'm trying to work to make sure I can help my kids buy a house when they get married.
Like, like, why is everything so retarded and backwards today?
Why are we not?
Why did our parents just like, you know, think like, oh, you can just, that's why we're rethinking life and life feels like we have no history.
So when you have kids, the government should supplement your income.
They should aid you in that.
We should have a government that wants to promote healthy families instead of bringing people in across the border and importing migrants who are not compatible with society.
I mean, we're talking about this, this rant of ideals.
And the whole reason why our parents' generation or, you know, our parents and grandparents' generation thought so differently that they're like, well, I don't want to hurt my, I don't want to spank my kids.
I just want to teach them that the world is rainbows and butterflies is because the school system taught them to.
We implemented the school system as a means to, one, pull women away from their children and put them in their workforce, which let's be honest, is just daycare so that corporations can get the best years of a woman's life while promising, oh, we'll freeze your rags and you can use them whenever.
That's a lie.
Second, children are then pulled away from the family.
The Bible very clearly says in Proverbs, teach a child the way he shall go and he will not depart from it.
If you properly teach your children how to act and how to behave, one by leading with example, because children will follow example more than they will follow word, but two, by also word, the child will stay good most of the time, statistically speaking.
But when we pull the women away from the children and they don't have a nurturing kind of implementation in the household, and they pull the fathers away and they put the children in the school system, the school system teaches them to hate the country.
The parents are too busy focused on working so that they can afford rent and basic necessities that they don't even want to be mean to their kids because they just want to give the kids the life that they never had.
So the kids are not prepared for the world ahead.
Like Elijah was saying, no one tells you that marriage is work.
It's not perfect, but it is as close to community as we can build, right?
The first command that God gave Adam and Eve in the garden was, go forth, be fruitful, and multiply.
You can also see too with like my younger son, he's developing a lot faster than my other son because he has a brother to look after.
You know, they say they say that typically too.
Yeah, which is like normal, you know, where like he's already almost like walking and he's not even a year old, you know, and it's like kind of crazy.
And he's like speaking and stuff like that.
Versus my other son, you know, my mother can like read now too, which is when he's like two, but like read different words and recognize, you know, sounds or to get, you know, whatever.
And like, you know, you do see this importance, but they have a good mom.
And I got to say this: if you guys want practical advice, not everyone can stay home and afford to make their wife stay home and stuff.
So I'm not going to preach to you guys that I have a solution, but I do have some advice on where to start.
If you do want to see your life improve, watch two shows every single day.
Number one, put my screen, watch Liz Wheeler every single day and then Fresh.
Like, most people I know, when they have a young kid, they sleep separately, like, especially when like they're nursing or whatever.
Like, it's pretty normal.
Like, sometimes I sleep with my wife and sometimes right now, the baby's in the bed.
So, like, whenever the baby's during this phase, we're in a separate, like, we're going to go back into the same bed on Saturday, but we didn't live in an apartment.
So, like, there's not a big enough bed to like put the baby there.
But it's like, so it's like, sometimes I'll just like, well, I try not to sleep with my little son, too, my other one, because, dude, what's up with toddlers?
Like, having the most psychotic sleep, they somersaults and give you like little forehead kisses at three in the morning, ask you for snacks.
Like, it's not a good situation.
But it's like, no, it's like very, very normal.
I mean, every, I'm not going to say anyone because maybe people don't want to talk about their personal lives.
Pretty much everyone I know who's got little kids pretty much sleeps separately.
And it's not because they hate each other.
It's some issue.
Like, why are you both going to lose sleep?
Like, someone's going to nurse the kid.
Why is the dad going to lose sleep?
Like, everyone's like, well, because we're going to suffer together.
Let me ask her if she could, if she can help pay the let me ask, I'm going to ask my wife then if she can just pay the electrical bill this stuff.
It's like, no, I'm literally working a lot because I want her to stay home.
And we make a lot of sacrifices because when you have one income working, you just like, like, that's what the liberal friend I have, they married a feminist and she's like, they do 50-50.
And you're like, dog, your kid is two and a half years old.
It's not going to be 50-50.
Maybe the kid gets older, you can do 50-50.
But like, your kid needs mom.
It needs the freaking mom.
And moms want the kid.
Let the dad work.
Go work.
Work your ass off and go do whatever you want.
I'm just saying today, it's like even raising children became kind of gay.
However, I do know my situation.
Oh, and she doesn't work.
That was what I was going to say.
She's a stay-at-home mom wanting to do 50-50.
What the hell are you doing?
You're at home.
You don't work.
Your husband's working to pay for you to stay home and you want to do 50-50 with your kid.
Sorry, a couple of super chats here before we head over to the locals only section.
Chacobo Lawrence.
But anyway, I just still think that, like you're saying, yes, but I also think it's crazy.
If you're a man and you're paying for your wife to stay home, also, like, look, people here, like, I mean, our tech guy, everything, people, people, you know, have different marriages, different families.
Like I always say, we talk about interracial marriage and it's hard because everyone here is like interracially married and like we're all like, you know, we're the worst, we're the worst white supremacists in the history of white supremacy.
So true.
That's a joke, by the way.
This show's not about that.
But I do bring up the funny notion here of like, yeah, it's hard with parenting, though, because life is so expensive.
And I just always want to give caveat that.
That's why I don't lecture people like, your wife has to stay home.
It's funny that in 2025, like the ideal sign of wealth is what?
Your wife staying home, having more than two kids, and having a farm.
This is all woman aspired to.
Does anyone, does your wife want chickens or something like that?
You're seeing this is the outskirts of the prison.
If you were to escape, let's say you're a member of Trende Diagua, you're going to have to navigate this.
There literally is no gas stations.
There's no liberals that might be empathetic to your cause.
You're going to have to go through swampland.
And I'll tell you today, you will die.
There are alligators and crocodiles and snakes and malaria-borne mosquitoes.
If you're not going to die from a rattlesnake, you will die from exhaustion and dehydration.
It is not great.
And you know what?
It's very cheap.
I've been very impressed with this play.
And there's actually about eight to nine other locations in Florida that will meet this too, with money that we've already paid in taxes for the hurricane relief stuff.
So they're just going to bring the generators, the connexes.
It's a pretty great plan.
That's why I'm a little bit suspicious, just naturally, why the hell all this came together in about a month and why we weren't doing this before.
Obviously, political ambitions of both Christy Noam, the former governor of South Dakota, and of course, Ron DeSantis, who's terming out, but his wife is wanting to come in.
I think there's a perfect storm now that we actually can build these.
But I confirmed again that it's real.
The alligators, by the way, I needed to see this because a lot of people are saying the alligator, even I heard Ron DeSantis during one of the press conferences saying, oh, okay, well, there's not really a ton of alligators.
No, the alligators are real.
And to prove this, we actually went into the swamp area.
It was not smart.
I mean, this is like, look, guys being guys, we're going to do dumb stuff sometimes.
I got cornered by Gators.
Literally, I found a path near the outskirts of this camp.
Yeah, so Alligator Alcatraz, it's supposed to house about 5,000 illegal immerse.
They're going to be held there between the period that you can legally send them back to the countries and process them and all this other stuff.
They did do something interesting.
When you enter Alligator Alcatraz, this facility, there's actually in both English, in Spanish, maybe in Somali too, there is a step-by-step guide how to self-deport yourself.
Like if you decide, once you get to this hellhole and you're sweating your butt off and you're essentially getting malaria from all the mosquitoes and these other things, which is far worse, by the way, than getting eaten by an alligator.
I think just getting eaten alive by mosquitoes should be enough of a deterrent.
Because I know that people like West Palm residents, you know, like myself, like yourself, which are different than the Lake Worth people.
We don't aren't impressed by brand names.
I find I find brand names to be tacky.
Like, not that if you want to buy something nice, I got a friend who like a nice pair of like cartier glasses or whatever, but they weren't like, I'm telling them they're not logoed out.
If you want to buy like a nice wallet of Louis Vuitton or something, like that's different.
Just going to say, but if you get boss, if you had a boss jacket, you had to spend, you know, 15, you know, like any man's coat is going to be probably somewhere between in any brand, like 900 to 1500 bucks.
And I can tell people are wearing nice coats, you know.
But the problem is, that's why I don't have a lot of them because they're very expensive.
I would never wear like, never wear a jacket like this.
It says like politics on the side.
That's actually the brand, by the way.
But it's like, you would never, you never wear this.
I just wear the jacket and it's nice because it's tailored and it fits well.
I don't understand.
I was in me and Mike were walking past the Louis Vuitton store in the Boca town center here and it was a bunch of Lakeworth people in line and they had, like their jeans had Louis Vuitton emblems on them and I didn't even know they made that stuff and I just like I didn't get it.
They do because I don't like the culture, but I just don't like it.
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't know any guy that's like me, like a West Palm kind of guy, and that just like is not naturally kind of like they say, you know, when guys see gay men kiss, it's like, you mentioned that.
It's like, did the same visceral reaction of like maggots?
Like when I'm like, I just see certain cultures and I'm just like, ew.
It's like, dude, like, I know how much money, how hard you have to work for it, but too, it's just like the way people put in bottle service at clubs and, you know, the clothing.
Well, to be to be fair, you know, we went out, like, this is like what I was going to say, but it is true.
Sometimes I do have a little bit of like Lake Worth with a hard R like in me.
Because when you grow up poor and nobody teaches you how to like value, like how to like manage money, sometimes you just like, you never got to live growing up.
So like the fact that, you know, I can get sour cream on my burritos.
I'm going to do the upgrade.
You know what I mean?
Like we're getting the sour cream.
Do you remember that?
Like when food was cheap and then it was like 25 cent tacos and you could get like two tacos.
But it's like, but yeah, but genuinely, you know, when you grow up, you know, with a lot of kids in poverty on like food stamps and stuff, to me, well, like, I feel wealthy with stuff that people wouldn't feel wealthy.
Like being able to go to a restaurant and just order steak feels wealthy.
You know what I mean?
And it's like, maybe I, maybe I come from a different standard of people.
Like my dream, like a lot of people want to own a big home.
I wanted to be able to like not look at prices at grocery stores and just have a stay-at-home wife.
And that was like my, that was like, I'll make it when I can do that.
And to me, that was like, I think a lot of guys have these, you know, a lot of girls, you know, have unreasonable, you know, expectations of physical wealth, but people don't realize that our, you know, our parents before that, like, no, when growing up, nobody had aesthetic homes.
Like this whole thing of like, you got to have an aesthetic home, you know, like all these girls are expecting like these homes that are like new furniture.
And this, like, did that, did I'm looking around?
Did anyone grow up with like only really rich people had aesthetic homes, but like middle-class people just had mixed-match furniture that was passed down from like thrift stores and stuff.
And that's like what they had.
And now like girls, like you get married, it's like you want, you know, $40,000 of furniture to start.
But I'm just saying, like, people have these expectations of a lifestyle now that they can't afford it.
So everyone's living on this capitalist, you know, fractional reserve banking system where everyone's just living on credit and everyone like buys $40,000 of furniture and does seven years, zero percent APR.
I think that my theory and rationalization with this, a lot of women will want these trinkets and they want these things that it's because they truly just want happiness.
They seek happiness and they think that getting, getting a nice house, getting nice furniture, getting a huge, huge account to spend online on Amazon, these other things is going to buy them happiness.
None of that stuff's really going to buy them any happiness.
Having kids is going to buy them happiness.
You can't buy that.
Investing in things which give longevity, give legacy.
That's what's really, truly going to give you happiness.
But a lot of the women, they don't want to put the work into that, too.
They always talk about men working.
Women, you got to work to not get drug into the horror ecosystem, right?
It's something you really have to turn down.
And off that, too, you got to stop running your mouths, too.
Please be quiet and just you think I want to know this stuff.
I don't need your opinions on everything.
It's like it doesn't matter if it's your sister or your mom or anything.
It's just please just men want peace and their balls drained.
And that's like, if you just give them that, you'll have a very nice husband, a very nice brother, but don't do it to your, don't drain the balls of your, of your, of your brother, please.
That would be very weird.
But if you give them peace, something one or the other, only if you're married or whatever, but like, you know, even with moms, it's like, you know, at a certain point, you got to stop trying to raise your kids.
You know, you got to, you got to believe in them and you got to pour into them.
But it's like, dude, I, this is why we don't have women working in the office because I just don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear all of your, you know, ways that we need to run the company and that we need to be doing things.
Then they bite you like an adder, like a snake bites.
Yeah, like an alligator now.
Dude, he does.
He's like, have you ever, I just say it's very sacrilegious, but I once watched a guy who like translates the Bible into like Gen Z internet language and he like read the chapter on, I think it's like chapter five and physical Bible.
I don't remember.
I don't know what it was.
I just watched it.
It was so funny.
And it was like, he was like, yo, that snatch be used, yo.
Don't, don't be down with them hoes.
They be posting them thirst traps, showing them titties.
And that ass, God says, don't go near that profile.
Proverbs, the entire, everyone likes to quote Proverbs 31 as like the ideal woman or whatever.
But the first 30 chapters of Proverbs are pretty much a warning for guys.
It's like, here's what to avoid.
And here's what you should be aiming for.
This is what you should go for.
And I'll say, part of the Catholic Bible, we have Sirock, which for people who haven't read it is arguably one of my favorite books, if not my favorite book of the Old Testament.
I highly recommend it.
It is like an even more specific Proverbs, specifically for a guy.
Ben Sirock wrote these letters to his son on how to be a man.
It has to, like, I've noticed it even in the marriages that I've seen, where if the wife is the one who comes at the husband with what's X, Y, and Z, it is taken as nagging.
It is taken as, because oftentimes that is the case.
And so the husband automatically perceives it.
But if somebody other than the husband, a friend goes, hey, Joe, I like, dude, what are you doing?
Then the guy can actually look objectively and be like, okay, this isn't some sort of nagging or whatever.
This is just my boy trying to help me out.
And so, you know, I talk to someone and it's like, no, if I'm asking for your opinion on something, then it's like, great.
I want to be able to have a conversation with you, but I don't want you to tell me how to live my life every waking moment of every day.
It's like, yeah, no, when I don't see the name of my kids on the show, so when you weren't here and I was producing here, she was in, she was in my wife.
And then Dusty Tard said, finally, I guess we're not doing exclusive content today on locals because we went way over in time on the main section, but that's fine because we had a special guest today and what was going on with the Alcatraz.
Shout out to everyone on YouTube.
If you're on YouTube, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe.
Somebody was saying this, our channel's censored.
It's not censored.
It's just new.
Someone's like, why are the views so low?
Because there's only a couple thousand subscribers.
So you're confused because you know I had another channel, but honestly, this is a new channel and it's going really well.
I'm actually very happy with the direction the channel's going.
Although we did have a massive drop off on YouTube when the Alex Jones thing started or at that time, or it was due to people watching Timcast.
To the individuals watching Rift on Rumble.
Shout out to you guys.
A couple more of the super chats came in.
Zesty AIDS sent $5.
Get an air horn there.
Said Sullivan's song of songs warns of them hoes and jackals too.
I just want to say thank you for sticking with the truth.
We will change the future for better for our kids.
P.S. Hit the like and share the channel chat.
Elijah is super down to earth.
Dude, yeah, we actually do go to church together.
That's cool.
I didn't know.
I didn't know you would be in the chat, but hey, thank you for that, man.
I really appreciate it.
You really don't have to do that.
But I really appreciate it.
It's very, very kind of you.
Punished Mav also said, I only hate white Christian.
I only want white Christians to be here.
No nons.
And also said, illegar with a hard R, Grower Gang, SOB.
We also have like worse.
Yeah, that's it.
But that's awesome.
Thank you guys.
Appreciate it.
I just told you how to read the chats because we did a pre-recording.
So typically on Fridays, if we're pre-recording, I sent in chats.
We'll read them on Monday and just go through them as well.
So in case you guys didn't know, although I do say at the beginning of our stream, this is pre-recorded.
So if I ever pre-record, I tell you guys.
So you don't send in chats if you don't want to.
But we love the chats and appreciate you and always want to read them.
Anyways, to my guests today, if people want to see more about Alligator Alcatraz, the work that you did, if they want to find and follow you, tell me about yourself.
You can see the content on at realedwards all or at the at died suddenly underscore.
And we're producing a lot of investigative journalist reports, other things, but also a film ds2nano.com so that you can see our see our work through that.
As a man, you're allowed to cry over your dog like a tear, like at the Grand Canyon, but you're not allowed to go on a podcast and be like, guys, my dog.
Yeah, it's like, I'm like, dude, just so you guys know, a couple announcements.
Make sure, I don't know for we might have a book club this Sunday.
I don't know.
We're off this weekend, so we'll see if we are going to have one.
Um, I don't, I know Mike's out of town and stuff, so I don't know if we'll be doing that.
Um, but uh, we pre-recorded the rest of the shows, so tomorrow we have a special on um Catholicism.
Like we did a special on Orthodoxy tomorrow with some Catholic experts that flew in and came in.
Um, and so that's really cool.
Uh, with a new convert as well, uh, Sarah Stock was on that because just like the Orthodox one, we had a new convert and an expert and stuff, so we can kind of get the uh comparison there, the juxtaposition between the two, you know, why someone might have converted recently versus somebody who really feels secure in their faith and knows a lot.
Um, so that will come out tomorrow.
So, if you're interested in Catholicism, we are doing that.
We are never doing one on Mormonism, unfortunately.
Sarah did apparently do that.
I found out an almost serious on like Mormonism or something like that.
I didn't know that.
Um, I did, I think this the episode was supposed to be about somebody's like life, and then it ended up being about Mormonism.
And then I found that out after, and I was like, I don't think we're promoting Mormonism, but we do love Kai, but we don't love Mormonism.
I, I think, I think that maybe one day he'll change his mind, maybe one day, yeah, yeah, maybe he'll change his mind, but I mean, yeah, other than that, it's still in personal life.
I, I, I support him, whatever he wants to do, you know, if he doesn't want to do this and he wants to focus on school and his life and whatever, you know, reasons he has, then that's all good.
And I know he's got a lot of uh ambitions and stuff, and you know, I guess I guess I feel like I got in a it's not you, it's me situation.
I feel like I'm confused because I'm like, wait, so you don't want to work in political media, but don't you like make political media?
Aren't you a political media guy?
But I don't think he wants to do this, so we support you, Kai.
We love you.
We're not gonna give away any of your secrets.
Uh, you're gonna Gefeltafish business, you can keep doing it and sell your locks and bagels and bokeh.
He's actually starting the Boca Bagobar, actually, here.
His goal is to be and serve Jewish people and to be their servant.
He wants to like he wants to just like serve them, you know?
Yeah, there's a lot of lampshades around this part.
All right, but I love him.
I'm not doing any shade of, I really love Kai, and he's actually going to be back on the show, I think, a little bit while I'm gone in Australia as well.
