He's an investigative journalist and a privacy tech entrepreneur based in Atlanta, Georgia.
He launched the Matt Kim podcast in early 2023 as a platform for, quote, unapologetically honest and raw conversations with guests like Congressman Andrew Clyde, Vec Ramaswamy, and even Jake Shields themed truth at all costs.
It explores current events, politics, privacy, and narratives on Epstein scandals, AI surveillance, and cultural divides, challenging the mainstream views to promote free thinking.
This guy's legit.
He literally will talk to anybody about anything as long as it's truthful, or even if it's not, he'll explore why it's not.
Now, he's self-taught in production.
Kim started solo and grew rapidly, gaining 300,000 Instagram followers in just two months and 100 million views by mid-2023.
As an investigator, he covers Trump's campaigns, deep state influences, and tech spying, earning repos from Donald Trump himself.
Whether you're a fan of him or not, I mean, it's a pretty damn big accomplishment.
Now, in 2024, he co-founded VP.net.
That's VP.net, a zero trust VPN for privacy protection.
Inspired by his surveillance probes, he fosters community via his free thinking army on Discord and Telegram with 171,000 followers on X, 634 on Instagram.
It's at MattAttack009 in the bio and presence on YouTube, Rumble, and TikTok.
Free Matt Kim and Spotify.
He advocates transparency and unity on issues like CBDCs and cultural tribalism as of 2025.
And the reason why I'm talking to him is because he's all around a pretty stellar guy.
He's pioneering something that I think you're going to want to hear about in the technological world, plus some of our shared experiences in Korea, some of which we probably won't talk about on today's show, but you know, Korea, you know, Korea.
So the United States government said, hey, we're going to let states kind of operate on their own merit on what kind of access they want to give people to pornography.
And advocacy groups, particularly Christian and conservative groups here, said, you know, we have a Republican state government and we want to ban.
So they did that by causing age verification.
They went after the fact that there were a lot of miners, allegedly, who were on these websites like Hub and they were exploited and they were abused, right?
And their material was disseminated that you had to not only show age verification to create and submit the pornography, but that you had to have an ID to get on.
And instead of, I got to be careful here.
Instead of following the rules, it's quite interesting that all of the big companies seem to be owned by the same person because they all put a video in front of their websites.
It's so much so that, you know, there's around our city, actually.
Isn't there a, Mike?
I don't know if this is true, but I was talking to an individual who said that that string they pull around the city, there's one around this whole city where they so they can move around freely on Shabbat, but they have a, you know, I'm talking about they put a string around this, the public live around a lot of them.
So they're not allowed to like travel far from home on Shabbat considered work unless they're like close to the temple.
They got me again, which is the same thing I say whenever I pull out a loan and the interest rates change.
But side note, moving on from that, I think it's interesting we talk about this foreign-owned stuff.
You mentioned they're in New York, you know, Florida is sort of the playground of New York.
You know, it's where New Yorkers, Jewish New Yorkers, primarily go to spend their wealth and spend their money.
And we know that, you know, New York is a center of global finance, right?
Because it is the center of the world.
Particularly, all pornography comes from the major cities.
I'm from LA.
And going back to that topic, folks decide, it is a crazy world.
You bring up the fact that they are like foreign-owned.
They're Israeli.
That's an interesting topic here as we talk about internet protection and what's going on.
Talk to me a little bit about this idea of like, you know, these websites and what's going on and why do so many Jewish people on these pornography websites or are found to have be founders?
I mean, it is kind of crazy that a certain group of people own majority of the pornography sites.
Same group of people own all the privacy companies, all the cybersecurity companies.
And like, how does that correlate?
I mean, I think there's a lot of people that put dots together, but at the same time, it's always the same group of people that own those three industries: pornography, privacy, cybersecurity.
It's like, okay, they want our information.
They create companies that say they protect your privacy, but yet they're collecting your data.
And then they create the company to say, we're going to protect you online, but yet they're also collecting your data.
So they know everything about you.
And the reality is that your information and your traffic and what you do online is probably one of the most private things you own.
If I know your internet history, if I know what you're doing on the internet, I know who you're talking to, I know what you like to eat.
I know what you want to buy.
I know what the way to shop.
I know what your kinks are.
I know what your side chick is doing.
I know what your other side chick is doing.
I know where you're going on vacation.
I know what you're going to go vacation with.
I know what business you're going to get into.
I know what business you're trying to get into.
I know what business problem you're trying to solve right now.
I know everything about you if I know what you're doing on the internet.
And we're giving all that information to the same group of people and same group of companies in the same region of the world.
I don't know why that's not a problem.
When we said we're going to stop TikTok, because TikTok is the Chinese are taking all of our data.
Like, who the hell cares about your like doom scrolling on TikTok?
There's actually nothing there.
You're just consuming content.
You're not inputting content.
You're not inputting your information.
But when you talk about your browser history and what you're doing on just in general on the internet, that's a lot of your own input.
You're providing information into the machine.
In TikTok, you're just consuming.
So it was such a big problem that the Chinese are taking your data.
I'm not saying like that's a good thing, but that was such a big deal.
So when you use a private browser, the only people that you're hiding your information and where you went from is actually your loved ones around you.
So actually, the private browser is used to protect your information from the people closest to you.
So if you don't want your wife or your girlfriend or your friend who has access to your computer to know what you do on the internet, use a private browser.
They can't see your history.
That's all that's solved.
Who can see your data is the ISPs, any government agency that requests that information.
They store, log, and are able to see everything you do on the internet.
So if you're thinking about, oh, a private browser, no one's ever going to know that I watched the Quagmire porn.
Actually, you're wrong.
All the people you don't want to see really can see all that information.
So this is a huge problem.
When we say that the ISPs can see your AT ⁇ Ts of the world, your Verizon, you know, your T-Mobile or whoever internet service provider that you're using, they can know and see all your internet traffic.
I mean, any network administrator that they can, or I mean, it's all stored as information.
Any federal agency can request to see that information and they would hand it over and you would never know that that was handed over.
So when you talk about, oh, Palantir is taking all these, all this data about us and they're trying to create logs and record everything we're doing online.
Well, where do you think they're getting that information from, by the way?
So there is a law in the United States called the Cloud Act.
It was passed in 2008.
And what it says is, regardless of jurisdiction of the company, if a data center has information on you and the an agency shows up and asks for it, you have to provide it.
So your information, if it is exposed, it is not safe.
Because all the government has to say is give us information and here's a gag order.
Don't tell them that you gave it to us.
You have no idea how much of your personal information is being given up to the government, to different businesses, to different tech companies, to different privacy brokers or whatever it is.
You would never know.
The only protect yourself is actually you have to go out of your way to protect yourself.
I'm actually worried more for our tech guy, Brian Mendoza.
I don't know what that guy's looking at, but it's definitely some crazy shit.
You know, keep me keeping it kosher for lack of better words.
You know, so we're talking about this, and this is obviously serious because, You know, theoretically, I was talking to one of our journalists at the publication I work at.
His name is Jordan, and he was on our meeting in sitting in front of the White House.
And I was kind of laughing because I'm like, you know, I'm going to be very careful with my wording.
This is kind of just funny, right?
Like, we're like at the president's house, taxpayer-funded, you know, like how fragile our world is.
You're some random guy.
Like, they don't really know that you're safe.
They know he is very safe.
I'm going to clarify and very clear digitally and whatever.
But meaning, like, just like you can just be there, right?
Like, a lot of people are very disconnected from the world and the way things work.
And they just kind of, you know, go to an ice cream shop to eat ice cream.
And they buy a sandwich from Subway and they don't think about where the bread comes from and what's in it and how the trade goes and how the global economy works and the currencies work to trade those ingredients across the world, et cetera.
And it's, you know, people don't, people don't, don't, don't jump into that.
But, you know, I was with him there and I'm sitting there and I'm like, you know what's crazy, man?
There is a huge factor.
You're sitting in the White House, like, trust is everything.
You know, I'm going, you would like the whole point of all this is like the reason why you don't think about it is because you just know that you're not getting poisoned from Subway theoretically.
Again, health nuts don't talk about pseudo oils, just stop.
I mean, theoretically, you're not going to die if you eat it if you eat a subway sandwich tomorrow.
Same thing goes with his job at the White House.
Like, it's like crazy.
Like, they use like 50 cars and, you know, paramilitary operations to keep the president safe.
But like, one of our guys could just walk in and be like, yo, what's up, dog?
You know, and like go in there.
Like, you ever think about these crazy things?
Like, what if his camera was like a gun or whatever?
Like, how do they like know that things are safe?
And you're going, you know what?
There's a certain level of humans where you know, like, you know, I can trust this guy, which is why interviews are so important.
It's when you get to know somebody and you realize what is their character.
And I think kind of like not thinking about what Subway makes or where they get their ingredients, we don't really think about what happens with our internet information and how embarrassing that could be if people found out what we really search up.
I'm not going to, yeah, I'm not going to say that I wish January 6th was successful, but I think January 6th was a little bit like Trump's presidency, where people describe Trump as being a Nazi, a neo-fascist, but really he's like a Zionist Jewish president, right?
And that is what he is.
And he doesn't do all bad things, but he's very pro-Jewish.
He's not a Nazi, right?
So it's so stupid.
But I feel like January 6th is the same thing.
They pay next.
I was there, right?
It was in the White House.
And not in the White House in the Capitol.
Sorry.
And, you know, they say it was like an overthrowing of the government.
That wasn't what it was.
But, you know, quite frankly, that's why they let it happen because they knew it wasn't going to be an overthrowing of the government.
Because if they actually felt like they were threatened and that the government was going to be completely different.
That would not have been the reaction.
Yeah, people don't realize how stupid it is.
But it does.
I'll just continue to say, a friend of mine has thought, what good is the Second Amendment, Matt?
What good is owning guns if I can't communicate well enough to have a movement to use those guns?
A friend of mine asked.
And that does concern me about privacy.
Just so you know, the feds have lifted my phone records, my bank account records.
These are all FOIA requests due to my journalism and things I was involved in.
Obviously, we know we even saw like with private companies, Twitter used to have on the back end that you could read the person's messages.
Elon Musk showed that.
Additionally, we know that the government was able to obtain even back-end passwords to my iCloud, by the way, because Apple wouldn't give over the passwords to people's iCloud when they were Islamic terrorists in San Bernardino.
But when it was domestic white supremacist terrorists involved in January 6th, they gave over the passwords and gave back doors to the government to get into the phones.
This is real and it happened.
That being said, I felt my privacy being violated.
And it feels a bit like maybe a token virgin, you know, getting multiculturalized by a group of packy men, right?
It's something that I've always think about now.
And I'm like, there's no point to even try.
A lot of people feel like this because you're going to like the Whitmer kidnapping, fake Whitmer kidnapping.
If anyone's trying to organize any real resistance, it's either a honeypot or if you tried, you're going to get arrested.
Do you think there's any way, is there any tools or way that we could actually get around the privacy invasion, not just of the ISPs and then the Cloud Act, but also of the Patriot Act, which is what I was a victim of.
And you think that all of a sudden the government's going to have a tool and be like, oh, yeah, we're going to be able to do it so efficiently.
I think that's part of the psyop.
They make you feel like they're so efficient and so good at it.
There's absolutely nothing you can do to solve them and to stop them, which is not actually true.
If they target you individually and they say, we're going to figure out how to get Elijah Schaefer's information no matter what, there's a lot of routes in.
But as a blanket policy, you should be able to do the basic minimum things to protect yourself on the internet.
You know, when they do a data collection on the American population, they're going to go for the low-hanging fruit, right?
They're not going to target every single individual.
It's not efficient.
It's very difficult to do.
It's very expensive.
And it takes a lot of resources.
What they're going to do is just going to blanket everyone.
And whoever's easiest to catch, they're going to catch you.
Make yourself difficult to catch.
And by using privacy tools like the VPN that we've invented, this will at least help mitigate you as individuals because most people actually aren't doing anything that wrong on the internet.
But, you know, the argument is like, well, I'm not doing anything wrong anyway.
Why do I need a VPN?
And the most obvious answer is if someone was standing in your window, if you're at home and you're watching a movie and you're eating popcorn, do you want a stranger?
Looking at you watching your movie, eating your popcorn from the window, and the answer is no, why?
Because it's a violation of my privacy.
Well exactly, you have to fight for your right to be private, even if it doesn't affect you individually, on a kind of individual level.
You have to fight for that premise and that idea overall because again, it is, privacy is freedom.
Well, I agree with that and I want to bring up something about that, about the.
The privacy thing is like, okay, so maybe we use vpns, maybe we communicate but I think it was Tucker Carlson, that was um, his signal was hacked right, and we, we use signal.
We're journalists uh we, we communicate a lot through encrypted messaging um, you know.
But with Apple giving a backdoor to the government, it sort of gives them a backdoor into your phone.
I do believe that our phones all have back doors in them, built in um.
I have staunch evidence.
I have family that works uh, in foreign intelligence services.
Everyone knows my kids are dual citizens and the only reason why they're dual citizens?
Because I want them to run for Congress, so they love those kind of people in Congress.
Uh, jokes aside though, you know um, my personal immediate family is not connected to intelligence at all, so I don't want anyone to think that's, you know, some sort of a connection there.
But I, I do take this stuff very seriously and I really do hate what's going on.
You know, I see what's going on in Minnesota with a Somali potential mayor and I see the people celebrating him and i'm like look, I don't just want illegal immigration to stop, I want legal immigration to stop and I also want to to also stop keyword the uh, amalgamation of people as these labels.
Like when we say oh um yeah well, we just want white people in our country, then it's a bunch of white Latinos, you know, and it's like oh, we don't want Asians in our country.
It's like well, there's a big difference from someone from Seoul and someone from, you know Pakistan, you know, and they're both Asian, but do they have equal value?
Do they have equal contribution?
I'll let the viewer decide that um, but I, I want that stuff to stop and I want there to be sensibility returned into our country, and that's not going to happen.
We're not going to see sensibility return unless there's a complete overhaul of the system because of the infiltration of APAC and the Jewish lobby amongst other nations that have interrupted.
However, before we talk about that, How we can fight that.
I want to remind you guys a quick break from the main topic.
Crypto is making waves in traditional finance.
And I've got something I think you'll find pretty compelling, especially if you're tracking how digital assets are reshaping business strategies.
Now, you've likely heard about companies like MicroStrategy or Tesla adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.
Now, this is part of a Bitcoin treasury strategy where businesses hold crypto as a long-term store of value or a hedge against inflation instead of just cash.
It's a significant shift in how companies manage their reserves.
Now, here's where it gets interesting: Hyperbit Technologies trading under HYPE hype in Canada and HYPAF Hype AF in the USA is carving out a unique path.
Rather than simply buying Bitcoin, they're mining digital assets like Dogecoin, Litecoin, and others using high-efficiency renewable-powered operations.
By generating crypto as their core business, they built a self-sustaining treasury model.
They're not just speculating, they're deploying next-gen mining rigs and leveraging low-cost hydroelectric energy to stay profitable and sustainable.
This positions them to hold, reinvest, or even use their crypto to fuel expansions.
Now, for investors, Hyperbit offers a way to gain exposure to the crypto market without the hassle of managing wallets, keys, or mining operations.
They mine, buy, and secure digital assets, making them a diversified player in the space.
You check the link in bio.
All right, make sure you also read the disclaimer in the bio.
It's very important that you do so because I'm not giving financial advice or even inviting you or asking you to invest in anything, but they are a real company.
They're on the market and they're trying to raise awareness.
I think you guys might think it's kind of cool.
But like I said, read the disclaimer because it's always risky to invest.
All right, let's dive back into it.
So, getting this idea of privacy, well, it's just scary, man.
And ExpressVPN is one of the largest VPNs in the world.
And I'm not saying they are spying on you.
I'm not saying they're not.
I don't can't prove one or the other.
What I do know is that the owner of Express is a Israeli billionaire who has known history of donating and supporting the IDF, that he is known to hire former Assad as CEO, CTO, that they run the technology.
You can make a decision if you want to trust them.
But I feel like most people watching are like, oh, I don't know about that one.
You know what I mean?
But most people didn't know that.
So you can't blame people for not knowing what they didn't know.
And that's so, so I'm not, by the way, this is not an infomercial guy.
By no means that he, he has a VPN company, but that's not what this is.
It's just, we were just talking about earlier.
It's like, so I'm here to believe that this is so messed up.
It's like, is an Israeli billionaire?
Like, I'm a journalist, man.
I'm like, I'm a journalist and I do what would be considered sketchy stuff on the internet in like my home, you know, in Australia, in the United Kingdom.
It's legal here, but it's, it's illegal there.
I do a lot of things on the internet.
I'll clarify Australia.
Illegal things here, not there on the internet.
But I, but I, you know, they have hate speech laws and all these things.
unidentified
So you're telling me an Israeli billionaire can see everything you're doing.
So your traditional VPN, every single VPN in the world operates the same.
Every single VPN.
It's a trust-based system.
So the VPN provider that you're using, it doesn't matter if it's Express, if it's Nord, if it's Pro, it doesn't matter.
They can see your internet traffic.
They know what you're doing.
They know what websites you're going to.
They can see it all.
You are trusting that this company who has access to your information will never share, sell, log, compromise, backdoor your information.
It is a completely trust-based model.
And the reality is in 2025, you can't trust these technology companies to do the right thing if they have your information.
And it could be intentional or unintentional.
Maybe they don't deliberately want to give up your information.
Maybe their intent is they actually want to keep your information private, but they have it.
Over and over again, time and time again, we've seen that technology companies, when they have your information, even if they want to protect you, they compromise you.
And then you add in the factor of government agencies all over the world and they say, well, you have to give this to us.
Either you sacrificed your entire business model or you as a company, as a billion-dollar company, protect the interest of Lijah Schaefer.
Which way are they going to go?
Every single time, they're going to go for the agency because they don't want to deal with that shit.
So you have to trust that these VPN providers, every single one in the world that has access to your information will never compromise you.
Let's talk about VPNs for a second because I don't think I understood what they were.
I always know they'd bounce around the world and, you know, you can choose to be in a certain country and I'd have to choose to be in the United States on my phone to access my website censored.
But it's like, okay, so when we use a VPN, are all VPNs the same, A, and do they all work the same, B?
All your traditional VPNs have that routing set up so you can see where you came from and where you're going because you're using Express, for example.
Then that Express knows the originating IP address.
So they know that you connected to this server.
They know where you went.
If you know where you came from, where you're going, then you can go backwards and you can figure out where you were.
What we've done is we separated the user from their destination.
So we split the routing and then we run the network traffic through something called a trusted execution environment, a secure hard, secure hardware enclave.
Basically what that does is we do not know who went where.
It's not illegal, though, because what if agencies request like, hey, and I'm going to use a very serious example here, but somebody's accessing CP, you know, I imagine it's the dark web, not even through VPNs.
Let's say a very serious situation, right?
We'd all disagree with Republican or Democrat, unless you're a Democrat.
Now you probably agree with it.
And Trump now, too, maybe.
But you go, Matt, somebody's using your VPNs to target this.
And I only bring this up because what they did to the Telegram CEO, it's like, hey, people are using your app to commit criminal activity and abuse.
And if you are on Instagram or your Facebook or on YouTube and you sign your terms and conditions and you willingly give them access to your information and you say, you can track me because that's what you're doing when you sign the terms and service, then there's nothing you can do about that because you're willingly choosing the information you give.
Yeah, where they get an iPad and they sign the terms of service and part of the terms of service is that you can sew their mouth to someone else's butt and you can create a human centipede and they poop each other's mouth.
But it was in the terms of service.
And it's like each clause, like, how is this legal?
It's like it says right here in clause three that you can poop in someone's mouth, so do your butthole.
And it's like, what?
That's in the terms of service.
It's like, it's making fun of how the fact that no one reads it.
And it's like, it actually is crazy.
And how much legality does that have?
But it's like, okay, so let's say I have a friend, close friend, who doesn't want to see Somalians living in his country, period.
So if I'm looking for evidence that like, you know, if I can, if I find evidence that Matt is looking about overthrowing the government and Elijah is, and then I see they're talking, I can, I'm not retarded.
Consume they're trying to overthrow the government, which is what they do, which is like, I didn't know.
You know, back in the day, we'd watch these mob movies and the FBI would be hiding in the bushes and take these long cameras and they take pictures of people.
And the mob starts to talk like this and cover their mouth so that no one can see, like, can't read their lips.
But they take those pictures of the two people talking.
They use it in court.
They don't need to know exactly what you spoke about to create conspiracy.
I had an FBI agent that followed me for a while after January 6th.
But that was because, and that is crazy, too, because if you want to know how the Patriot Act works, this show is so much different than the other show tonight, you'll be honest.
It's so much different.
We're just like, that's more like we actually talk about the news and we're like, yeah, going over fake news.
That's just one of our hosts did a good video on that.
And I wanted to share a good sermon.
He's a pastor.
It's very good for Christians.
But back to the show.
You know, I look around and I remember I had an agent that followed me.
And, you know, they were looking for conspiracy charges.
And they hadn't, they never formally charged me, but they did have, it's an investigation, which is different, right?
So they're looking for the charges.
So how it works.
You create a narrative, you start the investigation.
I mean, you say like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Saddam is a dictator.
He's a neo-fascist.
He is Islamo-terrorist supporting guy.
He invaded Kuwait.
It's all these things.
So that's enough to start an investigation into the weapons of mass destruction.
And then the charges, by the way, don't mean you're guilty because they didn't find the nukes.
Okay.
And everyone's like, there was chemicals.
We knew he had chemicals.
The United States actually helped facilitate the provision for that, including Israel as well.
Talk about that later.
He was against Iran, and Israel is very much against Iran.
But most importantly, charges can result in very serious implications.
Okay.
Very, very serious.
I've never been charged with any crimes, but I've been accused of things before in my life.
They didn't turn up.
The lawsuits I won.
But, you know, people still reference fake lawsuits against me on the internet, right?
Or like reference fake accusations from people about insane things, including I abuse women and stuff.
And it still comes up to this day.
And it's like, okay, like, do you not like the point is, is that with this, with this future of guilt in AI, we live in a guilty until proven innocent world.
And once you're proven in this, and as long as the accusations of guilt remain on the internet, that's all your enemies want, right?
That's what they want.
And so it doesn't, It doesn't matter if you're innocent or not.
It matters if they can find a way to prove to make you seem guilty, right?
To get mob justice on you.
And I, so I'm, I'm, I'm nervous for the world because I've experienced it from the government tracking me from January 6th and these sedition, you know, and conspiracy charges they try to put.
I get nervous because of these people that I used to work with that tried to ruin my life, you know, and extort me for money.
And I've seen how good privacy can be because I had disappearing messages on Signal, which is why I tell my employees to do that.
And, and, you know, the only thing we had was our text messages and all except on text messages were nice words, you know, like, hey, thank you for coming.
I appreciate you.
I mean, is there a way out of this?
Like, I mean, I'm saying this: like, am I right to be nervous about this and to be genuinely scared that people don't talk about things, Matt, because they don't even want to risk even having said things because they're afraid they're going to go to jail to their own family and friends.
Like, it's like Big Brother's there.
Are we, are we like, like I asked, are we screwed?
I feel hopeless because I have a running joke on my show, Rift, which is this is a different show on Rift TV.
It's a little different side of me.
I'm just like kind of thinking about things and shooting the shit with a friend and, you know, just kind of talking about some random topics.
But it's like you have George Washington and people say like, you know, it's like you have what he wanted for this country and you're not a part of it, you know, obviously.
But things have changed.
And then we also realize it's like, well, originally you weren't a part of it, but, you know, obviously things change, meaning like we go through a Korean war and we have a Cold War and Korea changes, right?
So it's like Korea isn't some third world country anymore.
It's an advanced first world nation, right?
That is an American technically military outpost, for lack of better words.
I'm not mean to be disrespectful, but it is.
I've worked there and it's crazy.
You know, and in many ways, it's also now a globalist trade outpost, right?
It's one of the great cities in the galactic network of the empire, right?
They get the wealth, right?
They get to share the wealth of the world to where we were saying about a $2 million apartment in not even a home, a $2 million apartment in Gymnam and those areas would be a shack.
Just like I found for a million US dollars next to my house, there's a two-bedroom, one-bathroom, 900-square-foot shack.
It's $935,000.
Welcome to South Florida, ladies and gentlemen.
Hopefully you all come live here.
But that aside, looking at all that, it's like, so we know then, yeah, okay, Koreans are different than Indonesians and, you know, they're a Christian nation, for lack of better words.
And they also share our same problems, which is funny, right?
Like materialism, vanity, feminism, you know, homosexuality problems.
You have feminization of men, low birth rate, yada, yada, whatever.
An atheistic movement to away from Christianity.
That being said, you know, I know our country is not perfect.
I know there's no other country in the world that's perfect.
And I know that a lot of our countries have the same problems.
But I do think we are well past in this nation.
I'm trying to be careful.
It's not kind of being yappy.
It's got to be careful.
Like we're, we're past the threshold to where our second amendment is able to be exercised.
And I think everyone feels that.
These people need to go, but we can't even get the Epstein list removed, man.
Like, do you know what I'm saying?
I mean, like, released or removed from privacy.
But it's like, we can't even get a list.
Like, we can't hold anyone accountable, but they can hold us accountable in everything.
It's a scary power dynamic, and it does feel hopeless.
Because this is a problem I have with the current administration.
Because I was actually really pro-Trump leading into administration.
I mean, leading into the election.
But if you want to solve a problem, you actually have to fix this problem first before you build on top.
That's just common sense.
If you have a problem, you fix a problem and then you make your next move.
But this administration wants to make all his moves and all his policies, all the things he can put his name on without actually fixing the problems first.
It's like, no, we're going to get rid of the deep state next.
Like, no, We're going to fix the debt crisis next.
No, no, no.
You need to fix those problems first.
And then once those are fixed, you can work on the next problem or you can work on building something on top.
But it's this house of carts that we're building on an unstable foundation.
And this is a problem that we have.
I agree with that.
You know, that doesn't work.
But, you know, you see other parts of the country of the world, like I'm from Korea.
I've been Korean for 3,000 years.
Well, I was born in the United States.
My parents are from Korea.
My wife is Korean.
My daughter is Korean.
I hope and pray to God that my future son-in-law is Korean, that I want my grandchildren to be like white boys.
And what's crazy in this day and age in life in America is if I say that my family has been Korean for 3,000 years, I want my next 3,000 years of future generations to also be Korean.
People are like, oh, that makes sense.
That's okay.
But then a white guy's like, oh, no, I want my kids only want to marry white people.
Like, oh, this guy's a racist.
I'm like, wait a second.
I feel bad for you guys.
I say that all the time.
No one gives me shit.
And then you're like, oh, I want my kid to marry a white person.
The Midwest has been like where everyone's moving into.
It's like sort of moving up into the Northeast and the Midwest.
So that's why Obama started working on moving Somalians and Haitians into the Midwest to disrupt the white retreat because he was afraid that white people were going to then decentralize and then that you would become like, you know, exclusively white and would then militarize against, basically take back from the WAGs, you know, what was going on in this country.
And just like the whites and the Asians did are doing in California with Napa parts of the valley up in San Francisco and particularly in Orange County, right?
All the whites and Asians went and like moved out.
They've been moving out of LA slowly but surely, letting the Hispanics take over and they've been taking over, you know, that's everyone's like, where's all these Asians coming from in Irvine?
Like from LA and they bought convenience stores and stayed up in generations sent their kids to nice schools and they've stayed in the same household and married and put off buying Alexis and then were able to buy a family home in Irvine.
That's what a lot of them are shifting from these areas.
Yeah, there's immigration too, but like there's been a lot of Asians in LA.
It's just why the hell would you want to live around black people?
You know, I mean, it's not a great, it's not a great lifestyle, for lack of better words, unless you like seasoning.
However, he brought them up there into the Midwest to disrupt the diaspora of white people, the white flight.
And they predicted this.
This is why it's so bad.
So Obama's administration was told by the neocons basically that in this new globalization, the Zionist regime, they would need to relocate mass amounts because these people wouldn't naturally like to live in cold climates, right?
So they're attracted to LA.
They're attracted to San Fran, attracted to Florida, right?
These are the places.
They're not attracted to cold climates because they're not adjusted because they're brown and their bodies are not adjusted to it.
Blacks are in cold climates because of culture, but not naturally when they immigrate.
So they created these resettlement programs, which Biden also worked on, by the way, and got 500,000 Haitians sent to the Midwest.
500,000?
People that have a lower IQ than chimpanzees.
That's crazy.
Like, that's horrible.
And you know what it is?
It's about destroying white people.
And you go, who would want to destroy white people?
Well, Jewish people.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's like, it doesn't make sense.
Why would Koreans don't want to destroy white people?
And by the way, and sorry if I'm peeking a little bit, but that happens in, or well, no, it doesn't happen in this country, but a lot of times I'm from Chicago.
And anytime that there's like a shooting at like a bar or a club, guess what happens?
That bar club gets shut down.
That person loses their liquor license.
If they took out a loan to open that business, they're screwed.
And it's because what?
A certain group of people wasn't acting right and they pulled out guns because someone stepped on their J's.
Like, is that worth it?
No, I think people should be able to deny people from their place of business, but that's my opinion.
Before we do that, by the way, I'm wearing this shirt.
You see this?
I'm not a Catholic.
It is, I told you guys here that this shirt is like, this is like a large, and I shouldn't be wearing a large.
I'm a grown man.
I should be wearing a one size bigger than this.
But apparently we're doing muscle teas now on the show.
You can find out at redpillthreads.com.
It's R-E-D-P-I-L-L-T-H-R-E-A-D-S, redpillthreads.com, promo code RIF for 10% off their store.
I'm sure the editor at this point is throwing some overlays up, which is great, fantastic of the shirts that they offer.
They have so much, including like Daniel Penny with his laser eyes.
It's a lot of stuff that lets you know maybe you don't want Lake Worth people in your Boca Raton, but maybe you're in Boca Raton and you also want to wear shirts that let people know you don't like the people that live here either, but for different reasons.
These are very loaded t-shirts of political statements, including this one that I'm wearing.
The reason why I wear it, I'm not Catholic, but it's, I guess it's like a crusade shirt.
But anyway, it's about like pushing the Muslims back, but not because you're a neocon, but because and you want the Jews to own Israel because you want the Christians to run and rule the world.
And I believe in that, man.
I've told you guys I'm a very flawed individual.
I'm a gritty man.
You know, I get my hands dirty.
I go out.
You know, I feel like people that complain about my flaws is like complaining about a soldier who just got shot and wore dripping blood on your carpet when he's asking you for help.
It's like, war is messy.
It requires a gritty kind of guy to fight it.
And, you know, you're not going to get prissy little Baptist boys really doing a lot in the world to actually push the kingdom.
And that's why I like this because it's just like, you know, sometimes it's going to take blood to get through life.
So I really like the Crusades.
I think they're great.
And I also like Christians a lot.
Shout out to Christians in the chat.
You guys are really fantastic.
But go to redpillthreads.com, promo code RIFT to get your shirt to make a statement to the world.
Again, I don't like boomer clothing.
Do you have a sponsor?
Red Pill Threads are great.
It's like actually a fantastic.
I'm not, this is not a joke.
I'm not even like, I'm not a Grift here.
Oh, we can give them your number notes.
Like, they actually have, it's like, actually good t-shirts.
It's like the Burger King crown or something, you know?
And it's like, don't try me.
You know, it's like, you know, it's like that kind of stuff.
Where it's like, also, it's like a, it has the Disney logo.
And instead of Disney says propaganda and there are, and it has the star of David at the top of the castle.
It's really good.
Like, I actually like your clothing, you know?
It's like actually funny shit.
We missed a huge opportunity to sell a bunch of shirts on that post of Anna, by the way.
This is, that's also disrespectful, but genuinely, why a VPN company?
Why now?
You know what I mean?
Like, in this stage of life with a young kid, you're married, you're successful, you already have money, you know what you're doing, you don't need money, you don't need to attract women, there's no grift to the end of it.
You're already doing fine.
Do you do something super risky and kind of retarded, like go into a niche like VPNs, which you said is actually not retarded.
Well, I mean, it's, it's a scary proposition because we built a technology that doesn't allow government backdoors.
And that's actually a really scary proposition, right?
Because at some point, someone can get really mad at us.
But it is what it is because it's that important.
A lot of things that I do, I think about what is life going to be like for my daughter, for your children, for our young kids in 10, 15, 20 years.
And what are the steps that you need to start taking now to ensure that they have the best possibility at life, not only on a comfort and economic standpoint, but like as a freedom standpoint?
I don't want my daughter to grow up in this dystopian future digital world where she has no options in life and everything is desired for her and everything's AI driven and everything's algorithmic driven and she has no ability to think for herself.
Want a future where they have the ability, even if it's within the current system or in a parallel system, where they can think freely, think for themselves, that they can make their own decisions, they can run their own lives that are not a part of this crazy dynopian board that they're building.
Then, what are the kind of the basic steps that need to be done?
Well, first, you have to protect your privacy, then you have to give the people to be able to communicate freely.
You need to teach the future generations to think independently, to question all narratives.
Because, like, for my daughter, at least, we actually don't even watch TV.
I don't even let my daughter watch TV, no devices.
That's the key thing: the wife being around the kid too.
Because, like, there's no way with how much you work as a man that you could, no matter how much you care about your daughter, that you could pour into her as much as you'd like to, you know?
By the way, it's like the women, every guy I know, every single guy I know, the women say, you know, you work too much, you got to spend more time around your kid, whatever.
That's just a universal, that's good.
That's a protectionary measure for mothers who are trying to make sure that their father's present, you know, in the kids' life.
But I agree with you.
I mean, that's number one, I'm taking notes.
I got to hang out with Asians more and find out how they parent because you guys are doing something right.
But being present parent like that is being a dad doesn't just mean that you're spending a ton of time with your kid because you may not have it.
You may be gone on business trips and you may be gone, but the time you do have, like you said, you're intentional.
And I think that's similar to our relationship with God.
Like, you know, you don't have to pray 40 hours a week.
You don't have to fast seven days a week.
But if you do take 15 minutes in the morning and you do pray and you do talk to God and you do meditate on his word, like you said, day and night.
So you do in the morning of the night, you do take time to listen to him.
You will at least, you will start to find God.
He said, like, basically, you know, you draw near to me, you take that step and I'll draw near to you.
Like we kind of like, like, we kind of move in that direction and you have to make your own free will choice to move in that place.
But with kids and what you're talking about, I think part of what makes you want to stay Korean is not just the ethnicity, which is true, but it's also what it means to be a Korean, you know, and what you value.
Because it seems like what you value.
I was shocked to find out black people don't hold the same values.
Apparently, they don't even care if their father's home, you know, so or even around.
No, but I, but I find it to be very admirable to have a child and to do that.
But is that really your driving factor?
Like, is that what it is?
What is your?
What about personally for you and your wife because that's an interesting thing are?
Will this make my life and the world around her better in 15 years?
And that's kind of what decides everything that I do, because I mean I can do jobs or I can do business or I can make money doing various.
There's a lot of different ways you can make money in this world nowadays, but is it actually gonna make my daughter's life better?
And if the answer is it's not gonna improve her life in the future, then what am I doing?
What am I wasting time for?
Like, i'm here to be her protector and to to shape the world as best as I can for her.
So that's all I think about and in that process, hopefully that makes the world better for your children and Mike's children, everyone else's children, because I want my, I don't want my daughter to be like the only one that lives in this free world.
She's gonna be lonely.
That has to be better for a lot of people, right?
I want her to be, have friends.
I mean she's young, but I tell all the time, like, daughter, you're gonna be the weird kid and that's okay.
unidentified
Yeah the, the one that they think is homeschooled yeah, you're the one you're homeschooled.
I think you have to do a combination of both right, hybrid.
Yeah yeah, I went back to school in like junior high, but yeah, but I think definitely, when they're younger, like you know, teaching them how to read and write and stuff is like very basic stuff it's not very hard, basic but also teach them how to navigate the existing system, because you have to know how to navigate the system as it's built, but you also have to teach them how to navigate outside the system.
I'm super against what we should do a show, by the way public education or education in general.
I'm very against education as a whole and i'm well educated as well.
Um, not doing that i'm smart thing.
I didn't say i'm smart, I just said well educated and actually that's kind of a testament to what I think about it.
I don't feel like i'm that smart uh, but I did very well in school in in in, you know, graduate school and whatnot, but I don't.
I don't find that really translated to real world practicality.
And you know, vocational expertise right, everything you learn is just on the job.
It's not, it's in life.
And I think you know, due to time, because I don't want to go.
I don't want to go much longer, although we do have another show.
By the time you're watching this you'll you can go back and watch another episode with Matt talking about the, the worldview uh, that he holds I hold in how it relates to current subjects.
I'd love to have you back on.
I know, if you're ever in Florida, always feel free to come on, especially this show, because it's just sort of up, up for grabs.
This that's what's called almost serious, like talking about like serious topics, but we're not really putting like so much thought in them.
We're just sort of like shooting the shit and having a good time and um, people really love it.
It does really well um, and i'm very very, very happy about that, because people want authenticity, not really necessarily um preparation, they just want to hear people think for themselves.
But you know, kind of ending here with this, this whole idea number one, I want to hear about what your vpn is uh, how I can download it, because i'm kind of upset and i'm going to uninstall Express.
I am going to uninstall, I still have, like I still have time on it, so i'll just use it till it's done.
Well, uh, not specifically that, but um, I knew that they were compromised actually because of uh James Lee, who's a friend of Matt here.
Um, he actually made a video about it recently, and I always had some kind of sneaking like suspicion.
I was telling Matt earlier, I feel like the more consumer-friendly one of these privacy products is, the more suspect it is.
Because I feel like you have to like really like, you know, kind of sacrifice some of the branding and the consumer-friendlier aspects of it to actually get good, um, good uh, quality protection.
So, I did have some kind of um inclination, but but Matt kind of opened my eyes to it a little bit more today for sure.
I think that shows that the Korean political system actually works because when a Korean president does something bad, they put him in jail when they get caught for corruption.
Obviously, Australia is heavily connected to Asian politics, right?
It's like because it's a white nation, but it's Asian.
It's in Asia.
Like, I mean, it's its own continent, people know.
But let's just be honest, it's in the Adriatic, you know, it's in the Asian, Asian Sea area.
It's like this close, you know, and also in black tribes as well.
But it's like kind of crazy because I obviously get very familiar with the politics in Asian countries, being my family's from the political system in Australia.
And it's so crazy to me.
I remember when I was working in Seoul, I was obviously in a I was definitely a white American working in Gangnam.
And so obviously not working in the Korea Korea.
But I remember thinking, man, I thought that there was no place that was like equal parts awesome to live in and also scared the living shit out of me politically other than America.
I thought there was nothing else that existed like this where it was like hard to tell.
Do I hate it here or I love it here?
And in Korea, that's how I felt.
And no disrespect to the Korean members of the show, but it's like it was clean.
It's got that on us.
It was nice.
But it was very fake.
It was very plastic.
The girls didn't look real.
And I didn't even know I had an Asian fetish until I moved there.
Slightly bigger eyes than what you have, but it's like this.
And it's just a white woman.
And you're like, what the hell?
And guys wearing makeup.
That was weird, too.
I couldn't get used to that.
And fucking the best food, the Korean barbecue, just like not being some crazy place called a gen or something here.
It's like, you just go into a corner and drink soju at 11 a.m. with the boys, or you sit with the businessman after five, make new friends, and make sexist and racist comments about women and minorities.
It was a great culture, great life.
But man, my heart hurt for them because I saw the birthright.
And Koreans, South Koreans, aren't doing well, my guy.
I had this crazy thought is that North Korea, they're reproducing at something like 1.9 or something like this, which is really close to replacement rate.
South Korea is replacing at something like 0.7, which is one of the lowest in the world.
Like, you go there and it's like, did the toilet seats have like toilet seat covers that automatically come out onto the toilets and like throw themselves away and like bidets in public restrooms cleaning your butthole and you're like, this is nice.
It's like, it's like, yeah, it's like Boeing or something.
It's like when you go to like Mexico and they wear like Harvard t-shirts.
You're like, I don't think you know what you're doing.
Anyway, I was always going to say it's like the consumerism to the point to where American companies can market products that even Americans won't buy over there.
But that's also just like in a very small area within Seoul.
If you go out to maybe the more rural side or the smaller cities, it's actually not as bad.
So Seoul is, there's so many people in that one area.
And they are just, you know, drowning in this consumerism.
And then they just drop down the national average.
But if you go out to other parts of Korea, they're actually, there's more kids there.
And it's less plastic.
It's more normalized.
The pricing, the price of housing isn't as expensive.
You know, it's like if you take any country in the world and you go to the most dense, kind of culturally foreign modern area, then you get a snapshot of that country, but it's actually not represented.
For example, if you were to go to LA and you were to just take a walk through Skid Row, which I would never recommend you walk, you'd be like, holy shit, LA sucks.
It's like the dirtiest, nastiest, grimiest thing ever.
And then you go to Beverly Hills or you go up into the Hills area and you're like, oh, shit, this place is really nice.
So it just depends on where you take that snapshot from.
And I think most people that go to Seoul and go to Korea tend to go to that one area within Kang Nam and those areas because that's where all the beautiful people are.
Not because I'm trying to, you know, they said, kill the kids when I don't have kids, so they're miserable too.
It's like, dude, I'll tell you this.
There's more problems in a marriage than there really is with children, from my experience.
It's like kids are kids.
They shit themselves.
They throw up on you.
I'd rather deal with that than a hormonal creature that changes its attitude by the day and by the moon cycle instead of just a kid who loves you and wants to see you every morning.
I know it changes the game, become teenagers, but having a kid, you know, dealing with kids is easier than dealing with women, in my opinion.
And I love women.
I love my wife.
I love my family.
You can't have the kids without the family.
They've got to go together.
You have problems with both.
But please have children.
And anybody who's LARPing around telling you, you know, be a conservative, do this, do that.
And they don't have kids.
If they're young and they're working on having kids, that's fair too.
If they're like, oh, I'm 23 and I'm a guy and I'm working on set my career because I want to have kids.
And that's fine.
You listen to them because they're working on it.
But anyone who doesn't want to have kids or doesn't know if they want to have kids, I just kind of probably won't ever take them very, very, very, very seriously for personal advice.
But everyone in this studio, I'm pretty sure, either has kids or wants to have kids.
Mike has a kid.
I think he wants to have more.
I want to have more.
I know the other guys won't get into the personal lives.
It's their business, but they either have kids or want to have kids.
And I think, I think you got to at least want to have children.
That's all I was going to end you with.
It's like, I think you need to at least want to have kids one day.
And if you're like under 28 and you don't have kids, I'll still listen to you.
The rest of you guys can follow me at elijaschafer.locals.com.
A couple announcements here.
We're going to be doing some content change ups in the next couple of weeks.
It's not that we're just going to give you less content.
It's that we're going to be giving you a certain amount of content free on Rumble, on YouTube, and then some content we're going to be putting behind the paywall, including probably this show, not this episode, but this show as well is going to go in behind the paywall.
We'll release a good clip from it, you know, on our YouTube and Rumble in 15 minutes, you know, of everyone talking.
But when we have someone out here, we usually like to sit down with them for about an hour, hour and a half, two hours, and just talk about things they're into, things they do, things they care about.
That's pretty irrelevant to the news cycle, because news cycle stuff is, so it's such a short uh short, uh shelf life, but things that are personal last forever.
I'm talking about privacy and birth rate and things that could last for decades.
You know, it's like things that we can just always reference, and also it's nice when things are unscripted.
So check it out Elijaschafer.locals.com.
I'm actually blown away because we have a 40 conversion rate, um of people who sign up for free and stay on.
So and it's not because, like people you know people don't have money or whatever, but like people like just put in their email and the amount of people that they go to the website, put in their email, see what we have to offer 40 of them end up paying for the subscription.
That's like really high rate, actually phenomenal, that's like insane um.
So four out of ten people see it and go.
I would like to pay for this content, and that's not all of you, But that's just to let you know that a lot of people find value in the content we're producing extra, and a lot of you, and it would be higher if it was more affordable.
But if you want a code to get a free month, you can just email me elijah at rifttv.com or mike.mendozariftv.com, and we'll send you a unique code for with your name so you can try a month free and see if it's something you'd like.
