Uh, right now the radical left, the radical woke mob, is calling Sydney Sweeney a Nazi, is calling a racist.
You know, I was thinking.
I was like oh, maybe she uh, maybe she was throwing her heart her, uh heart out to some people.
Um, what exactly was uh going on, that uh has people up in such a uh or um has their panties in such a bunch?
Well, apparently it was something extremely innocuous.
And as I poke and prod around with stream yard here, which i'm not very used to, and trying to figure out how to bring something on the screen so I can show you people, you lovely people who are in the audience and, by the way, if this is your first time on the show uh, or first time watching the show, shout out.
Normally we have a lot better production quality than this, but right now, as you may or may not know, Elijah Shafer is out of town.
He's working on a very big project.
Um, I don't know if he's been talking about publicly, so i'm not gonna, i'm not at liberty to disclose any information?
Uh, just yet, just yet.
But uh, maybe in the next week or so we can disclose more information.
And we have another trip planned for the end of this week uh, which I also don't know if we've talked about that one publicly yet either.
So um, a bit of an odd week, but uh shout outs to Rumble, or yeah, uh shout out to Rumble to getting us on the front page.
We appreciate you guys for the support there.
Um, if you've never seen us before uh, smash like um smash, subscribe.
We normally have crazy guests.
We fly people out, we put them up in hotels.
Uh we um uh, do a bunch of crazy things with our guests.
Uh some um, some of the things i'm not at liberty to speak of right now, but this is the thing that everyone was freaking out about and um, you tell me?
I mean, I don't see any swastikas, I don't see any son and rads in this.
What exactly is everyone freaking out about?
Uh oh sorry uh, what exactly is everyone freaking out about that?
So why exactly is the woke mob so up in arms about this?
Well, we'll talk about that more tonight.
I think I have an idea of why that might be.
But it's approximately 7, 18, 19.
i can't see right now my my contacts are going kind of dry it's it's approximately 719 eastern time um and uh this is another episode of the rift thank you for joining us once again smash like and subscribe and let's get right into it
All right.
Again, as I said, sorry for all the technical glitches, all the delays, the clunkiness of using StreamYard.
We don't normally use StreamYard.
We normally have a really well-built studio with monitors and a vMix computer, and I'm using vMix and I'm using a Rodecaster and everything.
Right now, I'm just clicking around on the screen trying to not look like an idiot, but I failed.
So, you know, if I had my soundboard right now, I would do the womp, womp, woman, but I don't.
But, you know, better than the soundboard, I have two guests with me, two amazing guests.
And, you know, speaking of racist blondes, well, I mean, I guess that, you know, we don't have anyone who is quite congruent to that, but we do have a panel of two fervent anti-racists, two people who definitely want to see more diversity, equity, and inclusion in American Eagle Hollister Abercrombie ads.
And they're just as outraged as the left about the Sydney Sweeney ad.
And that is none other than a one Brayden Sorbo and Sarah Stock.
If I can add them to the stage right now, Brayden and Sarah, what's going on?
Thank you for joining me again while Elijah is taking an elongated vacation.
Let's do this little thing right here.
There we go.
I prefer this.
Let's put the logo back up.
And while I'm doing that, Sarah, you can go ahead and introduce yourself.
It was dressing smartly and taking pride in your appearance, button-down shirts, pants that pants that covered all the necessary parts, less skin, more humility, and well-made shoes that lasted longer than a season.
First of all, does American Eagle even make shoes?
Well, I'm trying to figure out how many people are upset about it because I did see a few big leftist accounts tweeting about it and they said it was Nazi propaganda.
So I can kind of see why they would say it's like a dog whistle.
But, you know, there were some other posts on Twitter earlier this week where it was showing, you know, for Nike ads, they would have these like really obese black women in workout gear or like Calvin Klein ads.
It's just like, you know, it's like where the fat is like spilling over the top of the compression shorts or pants or whatever.
So, I mean, Britain, I think that this is a, this is a welcome change rather than what we were going through for the last, I mean, I don't know, what, 10, 15 years, probably even less than that, probably, probably, probably just under 10 years, I'd say.
I'd say it's a welcome change, but, you know, I personally don't think that Woke is completely dead.
I don't know what it would take to completely kill it, but we're still seeing remnants of it in certain situations.
Do you think Woke is dead?
And do you think that this is any indication of Woke being dead?
Or are we on, or is Woke on its deathbed, should I say?
People are less inclined to do, you know, gay things just with the advertising.
I mean, you look back at like a 1999 campaign for Calvin Klein underwear and it was who it was like Jennifer Aniston and Matt Damon.
So you have two, you know, attractive people modeling underwear on the beach somewhere, you know, and now or five years ago, you have some obese, disabled minority on the page.
And so people are sick and tired of it.
I mean, people buy things that attractive people use because they want to feel attractive.
And so in their minds, they compare and they go, well, if an attractive person was using this type of, you know, perfume or these clothes, then maybe I myself will become more attractive by using the same things.
And so it was a terrible marketing ploy for companies to throw that out entirely.
Unfortunately, we're at the stage of society where this is something that we're applauding, right?
When we're just putting normal people in campaigns.
I mean, you have all the people going, well, Sydney Sweeney's mid.
And then those are the people in Norway where like everyone is a five foot nine, beautiful Scandinavian person.
It's like, well, that's not really a fair comparison.
But it's interesting.
I'm seeing all the comments on Rumble and YouTube asking who owns American Eagle.
And so I just pulled it up just for fun.
Since December 2nd, 2015, J.L. Schottenstein has been the CEO and owner of American Eagle.
So it's quite an interesting claim for him to be the one doing this Nazi dog whistle.
Yeah, I will say it is kind of funny, though, these conservatives being like, reject modernity.
And it's like, I don't know, like an obese model.
It's like, embrace tradition.
It's like a half naked woman.
And it's just like, okay, this is still degenerate.
Like, it's, this is still, this is like, you're trying to conserve things from like 20 years ago.
Like, basically, not to come across like I'm sound like a feminist or something, but it really is like the commodification of the female body.
And I, I don't think conservatives should really be promoting that either.
I mean, but at the same time, it's like, it is babies.
Like, at least we're acknowledging like what beauty is, though, right?
So, at least we're able to say, like, yeah, we're bringing back the objective nature of beauty and being like, yeah, obviously, a hot, hot blonde with, you know, a big chest or whatever.
Like, that's what most people find attractive.
And we can acknowledge that now.
And you can make the most money off an ad with that.
So, you know, it's progress, I guess, but at the same time, it's like this like over-sexualization thing.
I don't think that's something that, you know, conservatives need to be like, oh, yeah, we have, you know, big boobs everywhere again.
And that's why I said when I, at the very beginning, that our bar is so low for success that we're taking putting an attractive person in a commercial as a win, which I mean, granted, we should be.
This is a step in the right direction, but this isn't the full, like, like, it's like when you're supposed to go this way and you start by going this way a tiny bit, you got to redirect and actually get around to going this way.
But this is at least at least we're moving a little bit.
And so it's somewhat of a victory.
Also, Mike, I put in the private chat the Gatorade ad that you were referencing earlier.
I wanted to see if you would pull that up just while we were on the topic.
And also, I wanted to do the thing that Elijah does and tell everyone to go over to YouTube and subscribe to the channel because it just hit 6,000 subscribers.
And that is where we have a bunch of cool people in there.
So I'm just saying to go check it out.
Also, that's where I'm modded so I can actually talk insanely.
Well, so also, you know, this is the people who are saying that Sidney Sweeney's mid.
I saw Steven Crowder put something out where he said that she was mid.
And then I forgot who it was, but someone was like, God, just come out already talking about Steven Crowder.
But, you know, I mean, like, I mean, Sydney does have a very, I don't know what's the word, like average look.
I mean, if you were to like to rate her one to 10, I mean, I don't think she's above like a nine.
I'm not going to get into like this big bro conversation.
This is just for the office.
This is where we have these types of conversations where we rate women, but obviously not me because I'm married or Elijah because he's married as well.
But it is funny how, you know, people they kind of flip back and forth from like her being this like sex icon to being to being mid is just like the the duality of man.
Oh, and then also we had this tweet from one of one of Sarah's favorite people, Leonardo Joni.
And then she said, by the way, this is the woman calling the Sidney Sweeney Jeans commercial Nazi propaganda.
Is it any wonder that someone who believes a man can be a woman would be upset by a biological reality like genetics?
Oh, also, she's ugly.
And then, and then she says, here, wait, hold on.
Does everyone know that I am still making a transgender political comedy news show every month?
Well, well, but like, Jews do do that to like poke fun at anti-Semitism as they do the triple parentheses.
Because honestly, like, you never see actual WNs or like Nazis or whatever, like, or quote-unquote anti-Semites using the triple parentheses anymore.
It's always just Jews using it to make fun of anti-Semites, actually.
So, I think she's she's doing ironically, but this whole paragraph seems ironic.
Um, I don't know if you guys are too young to remember Portlandia, if you guys ever watched Portlandia, um, but this seems like something that would be out of Portlandia, which was like made to make fun of um like hipsters.
Like, it's like, oh, um, I'm like ordering an omelette from the brunch place, but it has to be free range.
Um, each chicken has to have like 10 acres of land that they roam on, blah, blah, whatever.
But, uh, but yeah, this person looks absolutely unhinged.
And yeah, we keep getting better at it.
This is arguably our best episode yet, despite the algorithm being really mad at us right now.
I think the algorithm is really met you because it's like probably the worst idea for a show ever.
You know, at least with our show, you know, maybe not us specifically, but at least with our show, you know, we're edgy.
We talk about controversial topics.
We can kind of, you know, we can kind of say that we're being beaten down by the algorithm because we're not talking about stuff that the algorithm wants to promote.
They want to promote transgenderism and whatever the hell is going on here.
And then you're still not being boosted.
I think that sounds like a personal problem to me.
I don't think it's that YouTube.
I mean, do you guys think that YouTube has it out against?
Well, I just meant more specifically because there's kind of like a running joke where it's like right-wing watch will like always post like clips of Nick.
And then they used to call right-wing watch, right-wing watch a Groyper because it was always posting clips of Nick.
And then I forgot what happened recently, but it was just like really kind of fixated on Nick or something to do with AF.
And so yeah, the inside joke is just, oh, yeah, there's like a Groyper working there or whatever.
But I would say this one's more in line with Sydney Sweeney.
I don't think I ever see groipers talk about Sydney Sweeney necessarily, but in terms of women getting back in the kitchen and off the internet, then yeah, for sure, I would say that as a Groyper position 100%.
I think there's like different, there's different levels of like hot, like, yeah, like there's like the unattainable like supermodel and like sometimes like Megan Fox or something.
It's like a, it's a, yeah, it's a, it's, um, it's an epidemic in Hollywood.
So, um, but anyway, um, like I said, I didn't have a ton of stuff prepped for this, but um, I'm, I'm gonna go on to this next thing, which I want to talk about.
This was actually a thing that I want to lead off the show with, but um, anytime we put anything regarding this in the title, we don't get uh as favorable treatment from the streaming platform.
So I actually didn't um include it in um in here.
I haven't watched this video yet, so I'm gonna bring it up.
Um, if you guys think I should skip ahead to a specific part, let me know.
But uh, I don't know if you guys watched this video.
Did you watch this video?
This Charlie Kirk talking about how Israel is not starving Gosdens.
I was going really deep into this rabbit hole last night.
That's the only reason I know about it.
But I think it's like this really niche looks maxing community where like a lot of them even came over from 4chan like years ago or something and kind of like made it onto TikTok.
And so they all know each other for years.
You know what I mean?
Like, I guess you could say it's kind of like a parallel to the groipers or something, but it's like incels who look mac looks max.
Well, okay, so there's like a bunch of lore there and everything.
So it's like there's not that many people who watch them, but like the ones who do are like a part of it.
Yeah, but also what happened was Clav got canceled for being racist.
And it was like the most awkward video ever where someone was like, like, oh, this guy.
This guy Mogs, and then he's like yeah, but he's black, and it was like on video he's like yeah, but he's black, and they're like no, he's not.
And so that video went like like he basically got kind of canceled, but like a lot, and then Cookie King, I think, kind of like disavowed him for a minute, so that's why Nick went after Cookie King, and then it was like this whole whole drama.
But anyway, good news is is that you know, no matter what's happening in the, in the, in the Cookie verse um, we can all rest assured, we can all sleep well tonight knowing that Gazans are not being starved by the Israelis.
Uh, let's see um what?
Uh, Charlie Kirk who, who?
Um had a struggle session with um tp USA presidents the other day, um, what his a total, unbiased take is on this.
Let's uh, let's listen being propagandized, and this weekend there was an all-out propaganda campaign trying to make it seem as if Israel is intentionally starving the people of Gaza.
I hate being lied to, especially by the media networks.
They lied to us about covet.
They lied to us about the vaccines.
They lied to us about open borders.
They lied to us 100 buy laptop joining us.
Not now is rabbi Willicki uh, great friend, and thank you so much for defending me the other day.
Rabbi Willicki, you're also the youtube.
People can find you on youtube, Israel365, rabbi.
Let's just go to the facts here and then let's get into the lies.
What is, what is the situation in Gaza as the truth would bear it out, not the NEW YORK Times propagandist network?
Well, if we're talking about the starvation lie and and thank you Charlie, thank you for having me on to talk about this it's so important because this is really pure, pure propaganda, as you say.
So, since the beginning of the war, since october 7th, the whole issue of the food getting into Gaza and how much food is getting in has been weaponized by Hamas and by all and by the whole Pro-Hamas crowd and what they're doing most recently is claiming that there's a starvation crisis.
The quantities of food i'm not going to get into the weeds of the numbers, but the quantities of food that have been brought into the Gaza strip since the beginning of the war and month over month is enough to feed the Gaza strip, according to the World FOOD Program's numbers.
For what it takes to feed people for longer, Then this war has gone on for about 27 months worth of food.
And there's plenty of food getting into the Gaza Strip.
But what's happening is that Hamas is trying to perpetuate this narrative that Gazans are starving because starting about two months ago, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is run by Americans and is in cooperation with the Israelis, has started distributing food, started distributing humanitarian aid directly to the people of Gaza.
And why is that important?
Because until they started doing that, the only way for Gazans to get food was to get it from Hamas.
All of the tons and tons of food, all the truckloads of food that have been coming into the Gaza Strip as humanitarian aid since the beginning of the war until two months ago were brought in by United Nations organizations that were working hand in glove with Hamas.
It was going directly to Hamas, and then Hamas would sell it at exorbitant prices to the people, hoard it for themselves, take all the fuel to fuel their war machine, use it to recruit new recruits into Hamas.
And it was basically Hamas's oxygen.
The estimates now by the United States, by the State Department, is that Hamas has made approximately $500 million just from selling aid to the people of the Gaza Strip since the war has began.
So Israel has realized for a long time that this is a problem because while the aid has to get to people, the aid is also fueling Hamas.
So two months ago, they started this new program where in areas that are under Israeli security control on the Gaza Strip, they distribute the food directly to the Gazan citizens.
All the aid is supposed to be free.
In fact, there are videos and pictures online of packages marked not for sale being sold by Hamas vendors to the people of the Gaza Strip.
So what's happening now is because food is being distributed directly to the Gazan citizens at these distribution centers, that's cutting off Hamas's oxygen because the people can get food directly from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
They don't have to pay exorbitant prices to Hamas.
And Hamas is both losing control of the population and also losing their cash flow.
So I'm not going to go through with this entire thing.
It's going to be just tedious.
But I do love how, you know, and I mean, you know, I guess that we can expect this type of rhetoric from these types of people.
But like, I just love how they've constructed this like elaborately evil boogeyman in Hamas.
I mean, first of all, like they're causing all these violent acts or whatever, or they're carrying out all these violent acts, I should say.
But then they're just doing all these ridiculous things supposedly.
And again, I haven't looked into any more articles about this.
I'm like really just kind of going off of gut feeling right here.
So I could be wrong.
But I mean, like, okay, so the people in Gaza, from what I understand, they're starving.
They're being attacked constantly.
They probably can't just go to work and make money, but they're being price gouged by their government, which they seem to support.
And then the members of Hamas, like, I mean, it just doesn't really make any sense to me because, you know, at least when, like, say that there's like a hurricane or there's like a flood or something, and then people need to buy like water or something or just goods before like a hurricane hits.
Like, you know, at least Americans actually have money to buy supplies.
I wouldn't imagine that Gazans actually have a ton of money to buy these, what, like these price gouged rations and food and water.
I mean, does this make any sense to you guys?
Or like, what is actually being, what is, what is the game that that they're really trying to play here?
And so this idea that their own government would be price gouging them is just like, it's almost insulting how stupid these people think we are.
I mean, granted, there are people that believe it.
I've been attacked on X or Twitter or, you know, whatever for pointing this out.
I said, look, if you, you know, fire a tank round at a church intentionally, you're not a good guy.
Just say.
And people are going, how dare you?
It's Hamas who's doing all these things.
And I'm going, okay.
They took credit for it.
Like they even said, oh, yeah, that was us, but it was accidental.
We just pointed at the thing.
We looked at the cross on the building.
It was like, they're hiding in there, blow it up.
You know what I mean?
And so it's, it's really getting to the point where people are going to be fed up.
And frankly, they already are.
I just don't know how much longer it's going to go before, you know, before something really happens because to insult the intelligence of the people waking up by going, well, no, they're just being price gouged.
Yeah, I mean, I don't really know too much about the specific situation either, because, I mean, this is like very recent.
I've kind of only heard the Zionist side of this story.
So I'm not really sure.
But I do know that in the past, the Israeli government has blocked aid from entering the Gaza Strip, even when it's just like the UN or something, like trying to just bring in food.
And they've been blocking that.
I have a friend who I used to work with who's a journalist, like an American journalist who will go to Israel and report on this stuff.
And there's Israelis at the border bragging, like not even soldiers, just the citizens who are like eating the food that's supposed to go over there and like laughing about it, bragging about it.
Like it's just like that's that totally has been happening.
They have been intentionally starving them.
So now when they are giving them this aid, it's like, I mean, they could just, they could be legitimately giving them aid to kind of save face, because I think a lot of people are turning, basically turning against the Israeli government, becoming more aware of these crimes.
So they're trying to say, oh, no, look, we are giving them aid.
And I don't, I just don't really want to jump to any conclusions about this because it's not like Hamas is like a super immoral government or anything.
So, I mean, it's plausible if they wanted to try to like somehow, I don't know, I guess like kind of raise money for their military efforts or something.
But yeah, no, yeah, like, and, and, and my first impression, which, you know, I'm glad that, that, um, I wasn't alone on this, Brayden.
But yeah, it did seem like I'm like, yeah, I don't think people are flush with cash in Gaza right now.
So it's like, if they were being price gouged, um, how would that, how to help anyone?
It just doesn't make any sense.
And also, too, I am less inclined to believe a government who's, and by the way, I think this has been like fact checked before, but I mean, tell me if you think this is real or not.
But have you guys ever heard about this shirt before?
This was an not like an official IDF shirt, but I guess this was like a shirt that was being circulated among IDF military members.
But it's a picture or it's a graphic of a pregnant Muslim woman.
And then it says one shot, two kills.
And I mean, what do we know the IDF for?
For targeting innocent civilians who are trying to get to aid.
I know even recently there were videos and pictures of people who were crawling towards aid trucks to get food, to get what little they could.
And then the IDF would just take them out because obviously they see them as subhuman.
They don't see them as worthy of life.
And they see them all as enemy combatants.
And then what's that term that the idea for like Israeli military has?
It's like rise up and strike first or something like that.
Like they have like a preemptive strike mindset.
They're not so defensive.
They're more so offensive.
So, you know, and I think that it's the same once it comes to propaganda.
They're trotting out this Rabbi Will Lickie to talk about Charlie Kirk, who, once again, as I mentioned, just had a struggle session with Turning Point Presidents the other day to talk about, oh, like, oh, like you guys don't support Iran, do you?
But like, you guys don't hate interview, do you?
But I mean, you guys aren't anti-Semitic or anything, you know?
You know, so it's not objective.
It's not fair and balanced as Fox News once fancied themselves, but it is obviously just propaganda.
One thing I wanted to bring up too was actually this tweet by Richard Hanania that I thought was interesting and I think is relevant to this.
I did because it's been trending a lot recently and it's just overall fatigue.
I sent it in the chat.
I don't know how much we can show, but specifically the Cincinnati Jazz Festival.
I think it's worth talking about because I don't see many people.
There was zero coverage on mainstream media about this.
And so I sent the one in where there was a third victim, by the way, who got attacked.
And that's the post that I sent in.
But for those of you who don't know or who wanted us to talk about it, the Cincinnati Jazz Festival, there seemed to be some sort of altercation, maybe a little bit of name calling, which led to a group of Lake Worth individuals jumping and curb stomping a man, a woman, and a third person who we do not know, beaten and unconscious.
So I'm just like, it's like, I'm kind of not surprised.
I actually don't blame them for not covering it.
Anytime a black person attacks a white person, because it happens, what, hundreds of times every day, right?
Like, I mean, across the country.
Actually, so I was, this is completely off topic, and then we'll get into the video, but I was watching a video last night.
Apparently, there is a castle in Spain in Madrid called like Castle de Mendoza.
And I was like, oh, I think I'm going to go visit there one day.
There was like a, like a Mendoza royal family.
And I was just watching this vlog of someone going to go visit it.
And then, you know, it's in Spain.
They're going through their transit system.
You know, their entire transit system looks like China.
It's just super clean.
Everything runs on time.
Everything's perfect.
And I'm just like, man, it really only is just one group of people that completely messes up public facilities like this.
You know, because even in Spain, you know, our favorite southern Europeans over there, they got together because they don't have to deal with a certain group of people, even though that is kind of actually changing more and more, especially in places like Italy and Greece.
They're kind of force, you know, forcefully integrating people into those cultures now.
And, you know, they're about to start feeling the fatigue as much as we do over here, unfortunately.
But also, Ed says in the chat, he says, definitely not Middle Eastern, which he actually could be like Moroccan, actually.
Like this guy looks like he could be Moroccan or something, but I don't know, which I know it sounds weird, but if you know like French Montana, like French Montana, like looks like he could be black, but he's, but he's, he's like an Arab, like whatever, North African.
Like he definitely could be some kind of like North African or whatever.
But anyway, this video right here for the Sinclair Jazz Festival, is this like graphic stuff in this video?
Like, so there was an altercation outside of the festival where people were speaking to each other.
Maybe someone bumped someone.
He was like, hey, you should apologize.
That was rude.
I don't actually know all of the details, but I know that the guy looked like he was leaving and he gets shoved from behind, pushed into the street, and probably ended up with multiple concussions.
Well, I wanted to throw this in because a lot of people, a lot of people know it already, but for those of you who don't, some interesting tidbit of information about Lake Worth people for you is in the 1970s, the United States of America actually changed the qualification for what they deemed a level of mental retardation when it came to IQ.
The level used to be 85, but because 85 and under would be considered mentally handicapped in the United States of America, that would put at least, I believe, 50% of African Americans in the mental retardation camp.
And so they lowered the classification for a handicap for disabled mentally people to 75.
You can look it up.
It's all verifiable.
They changed the qualification from 85 to 75 so that half of an entire population wouldn't be labeled handicapped.
Like for some reason, every time I try to join a live stream, it's like, oh, so you want to use your iPhone camera, right?
I'm like, I'm on my computer.
Why would I want that?
So anyway, well, okay.
I think it may not be working.
I will refresh it in a second.
But in that case, we can go a little bit longer on Rumble and then just join or just kind of look in the Rumble chat and shout people out and talk to the chat a little bit.
One thing I did want to mention is I saw a video the other day and it was in Alaska of all places.
I don't know if you guys saw this.
You know, there's not a ton of things going on in Alaska.
I figured just by saying that if you guys saw it, then like you would know what I'm talking about.
But basically what the story was was that these guys had got kicked out of a club, I guess, just for being rowdy, whatever.
One guy was like Samoan and black, which, you know, it kind of seems crazy that like, you know, people are coming from what American Samoa and Hawaii, and then they live in Alaska now.
It's kind of a big culture shock.
But these guys came back to, I guess, I guess go after the bouncer who had kicked them out of the club.
They tried shooting the bouncer, but then there was a backup security guard who was purposely standing right by his trunk for his car, which he had an AR-15 in.
And then he shot up both the guys.
I think killed one and then the other one got away, but he'll probably get arrested too.
But I'm like, how crazy is that that that's happening in Alaska of all places?
Like it's like, you know, us being mainland Americans, you know, we probably have no idea what's going on in Alaska.
Like people probably just think of freaking Eskimos and igaloos and whales and going whaling or whatever, people ice fishing, but there are black people in Alaska.
And also, it's like, yeah, why would they even want to go there?
I mean, it's weird.
Like, I feel like usually people like you'll notice that it's like, there's a reason there's a lot more black people in the south and on the west coast than in New England or something because they want to be places where it's warm because that's, you know, where their ancestry is from.
So it's weird.
It's like, yeah, why would you even want to go to Alaska?
I feel the same way about the Indians in Canada.
It's like, India is hot.
unidentified
Why are you guys going to like one of the coldest places ever?
They said it's not that they want to move those places, it's the refugee resettlement NGOS put them there, and that's a good point that's.
That's totally true.
It's usually like these big NGOS and everything and they ship these refugees and migrants to like.
Basically they're like, oh, that's a, that's a nice, fully white peaceful, quiet town in the middle of nowhere you have there, what if we gave you like thousands of civilians, or what if we gave you thousands of Hatians or something?
And that's basically what they do.
So yeah, that's actually a good point, but it's, it's weird, it's like it's, it's just like so weird to like yeah, they're putting them in these places like it doesn't make sense.
They have nothing in common with the people there.
Well honestly, and you know, to be quite honest with you, I really don't interact there as much as I should.
I really only interact there when I need something from people like which.
I'm like, hey uh, could you guys watch the show or could?
Um actually, I just dropped a survey in the discord the other day just see how people uh feel about the show, how um everything's been going recently, what they want to see, what they want change.
Um, someone did give me some feedback saying that that we should do that like every two, three months too, just like checking with the obs and see if they're, you know, jiving with everything that we're doing.
But we do have a have a have a discord, um join the locals and then um, I actually don't even know how the process like really works but um, I do know Noticer.
Noticer, I am in the chat.
He's in Rumble right now.
I believe um, he will make sure that you will get um into the discord.
Uh Noticer, that guy is in youtube and his name is C Kyle 14, and again.
It's because he loves to see, he loves to go um, he loves to go scuba diving on the Great Coral Reef um, but you know what?
Uh, because we have so much support right now, because we have about 800 people right now um, we're gonna go for another 15 minutes or so um, and then we can call um a night.
Um, I have to get back to doing housework and everything around the house before I take this trip, so I have to.
I'm i'm like, i'm like doing uh laundry and like cleaning and bringing my Cats to the vet and everything.
In the last couple of days, So, trying to get everything out of the way before this, this, this next trip.
But we also do have really good content coming for you guys.
Um, we're gonna have some vlog content.
I know that's a new thing that you don't see from us very often, but we have some vlog content.
By the way, I just realized that I haven't had the logo up this entire time, so I'm gonna bring it back up.
But we're gonna be vlogging for this next trip that we're taking.
Um, I don't know when Elijah is gonna announce it or if he has yet, but um, it's um, it's a very interesting place that we'll be going to with a very interesting individual who we've actually interviewed on the show before on Almost Series.
So, maybe that's enough um information for you guys to put together.
Yeah, when uh Royce from ROTC came, um, he was supposed to do some gym content with um Elijah, but you know, I mean, I mean, you guys have been to the office, you know how our days are.
We like try to plan to do all these things, and we really only complete about half of it because we overload our days with so much stuff.
But I mean, I am, I am, I'm, I'm totally down for gym content.
It's just a little boring because I mean, you know, I can go on any variety of any person's Twitter page or Instagram or TikTok, whatever.
Everyone's posting stuff about workout stuff, and like, are we any more knowledgeable?
Yeah, if we have like Mark Lobliner, but also too, like, you know, sometimes people just want to join the Discord or join locals just to see like what we do in our free time or whatever.
Like, I mean, I'd be down to like do other streams, but we just don't have time right now.
But, you know, maybe once we have everything going, um, everything's a little bit more streamlined, everything's just free-flowing with the network, and um, all of us don't have to do.
Someone gave feedback on the survey that I did, uh, who actually brought that up too.
They were like, hey, you should actually do the pie making thing.
Um, and uh, also, know who's like a world-class, not even kidding, pie baker, pie maker, whatever, is uh, Josie, the red-headed libertarian, if you know who she is.
And then she lives about an hour from us in Florida.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, she's seriously here.
I'm gonna bring it up right now.
No, she's like seriously like a world-class uh pie baker, like she's won like some kind of like blue ribbon award or something for her pies before.
Yeah, no, she, um, we had a Christmas party uh two years ago, um, once I was living up north, and then she came uh with some of the uh tower gang people and then um uh a few other people, but uh they came.
I want to say who else came, but a bunch of people came and then I was talking with her and she's like, Yeah, I'm like a world-class baker.
I'm like, Oh, that's cool.
I um, I just get pre-prepped meals.
I microwave to make it easy for me.
I can cook, I just don't have time to.
So, you know, leave it to the women, I guess.
But yep.
So, anyway, um, by the way, um, I love how once I announced that we were going a little bit longer because uh, we were getting more people, we like dropped 200 people, so you know, whatever, but it's okay.
Uh, no, I mean, when I used to actually, I don't work out anymore, but when I used to work out, I would, I was able to do like 10 on each side like to do multiple reps to do like a set, not to just like not as like a max for one rep. Honestly, women at the gym are just so funny because they're just always doing every like variety of leg workout, they're never doing anything other than that, uh, which is just like you know, I mean, I guess I would do everything, but I just found out that working out's pointless because like I'm skinny anyways,
I just, uh, I just uh hit the thing, but um, I realized I didn't do the live reads, and then I knew how much you guys love live reads, so I'm gonna take you guys off the thing real quick, and I'm gonna do this first one.
But, um, you know me, uh, you know, I love um Hyperbit.
Hyperbit's one of our um great sponsors that we have here, and I want to take a quick break from the main topic.
You know, crypto has been making waves in traditional finance, and I mean, I've got something that I think that you'll find pretty compelling, especially if you're tracking how digital assets are reshaping business strategies.
And you've likely heard about companies like MicroStrategy or Tesla adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.
This is part of a Bitcoin treasury strategy where businesses hold crypto as a long-term store of value or hedge against inflation instead of just cash.
It's a significant shift in how companies manage their reserves.
But this is where it gets interesting: Hyperbit Technologies trading under Hype in Canada and Hype AF in the US 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've 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 use their crypto to fuel expansion.
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 play in the space.

And uh, this is not financial um advice.
And just keep in mind that uh, that investing is always risky, it's always uh, you know, you're not guaranteed to make a thing.
It's not an it's not an interesting story, but basically, my prescription expired because my eye doctor's in Canada and I never go there because I live here.
So, it's expired.
I couldn't order more.
I had some shipped to my parents' house.
I visited and I forgot them there.
I had them ship the contacts over here, and then I was too busy or I was gone at the time, so I couldn't pick it up from the post office.
So, they shipped it back to my parents.
And during that time, I just like completely ran out of all of my contacts.
And yeah, and so now it's I like I wore a set like two days ago, and then today I open it up and one of them's not there.
So, I don't know, it's kind of like a late night.
I don't know, I don't know what I was doing because I just like misplaced one.
So, now it's like, well, yeah, I can't see without my glasses anymore.
Yeah, I've actually never broke my glasses, but then also sometimes too, um, they'll fall like on the ground and then I'm I'm blind, so like, like I'm on the ground, like what's your name?
unidentified
Like Velma in a scuba do like that was me today, that was me today looking for them.
Like, for me, it's like I can like see my hands or like I can see my phone fine.
Oh my gosh, I'm dropping, I can like see my phone perfectly fine, but then it's like my computer, like once it's this far away, it's kind of blurry, but it's really the thing is it just like hurts my head a lot to not have my glasses because then my eyes are straining, so it hurts my head after a little bit.
I was so into that when I was like 14, but I don't know if it's real.
I was like watching, yeah, well, yeah, that's because when I, that's when I first got glasses, and then I was like watching these YouTube videos, and it was like hypnosis videos to like get your vision back.
I'm not gonna lie, so but yeah, but do you ever think about like how long people like people throughout human history just like went without having glasses?
I know, I think about that quite often actually, because um, every time I don't uh have my glasses, I'm just like, wow, this is like, how did anyone survive?
Like what if glasses just kind of make your vision worse throughout your life?
Because I kind of think that I feel like that has to be true, because it's like, why does like so, like basically, like 50 of people or something just like, wear glasses and progressively have to get stronger prescriptions for their whole life?
Actually um actually, at the last company that we were running, I got like a bunch of like gloves and protective gear to like just box for cardio and then everyone like just bitched out, I mean dude, boxing is like the best cardio probably.
Um yeah actually yeah, like i'm pretty sure, like I don't think there's any other sport that that even compared even soccer, like I think that boxing is better cardio than soccer.
Give you the woodstown uh, uh response, yeah no yeah, I uh, I mean boxing is uh yeah like um, I just never really had much interest in doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu or anything like this, just like I don't know.
Um, I know it's like definitely useful.
unidentified
And thoughts on karate, like putting your kids in karate class uh, i'd probably put them in taekwondo, if anything.
You can just like basically shape them into whatever you want them to be like.
You could just be like oh, i'm gonna put you in a like a taekwondo class when they're like three, and then by the time they're 12, they can just like beat people up.
I know right yeah, and then they can pretty much yeah yeah, and then they hate you because then they're like uh, I actually want to do this or do that.
I actually don't want to go to taekwondo.
I knew a family growing up where um, they had three girls and then the mom was like really trying to force every single one of the girls to be like an Olympic figure skater, so they would have to wake up at like 4 4:30 in the morning and then go to, and I mean, obviously, they're amazing skaters, but like, but like as soon as they all graduate high school, they like all but stopped.
Actually, yeah, I've said the exact same thing is that I want my kid to or my kids to learn a language, to learn an instrument, and then maybe one more thing on top of that because it kind of just like, you know, I think they definitely need to learn like an instrument.
And, you know, that's a time that you should learn.
Also, too, with like learning a language, that's another thing that helps with kind of developing your brain.
It's funny because actually, you know, where we're going this week, it's a Spanish-speaking country.
And it's funny because like Elijah was like, and I mean, he knows this, but he's like, do you speak Spanish?
I'm like, yeah, I don't speak Spanish at all.
I'm like Mexican for nothing.
But he was like, yeah, we should like brush one Spanish a little bit before we get down there.
But I mean, they have all these AI apps now where you can just like record someone and then you can just like, it just acts as like a translator or whatever.
Well, I mean, this is a, this is a country that's on its way to being a more developed country.
I should might as well say it.
We're going to El Salvador because you guys didn't know.
So shout out to us.
We'll be in El Salvador.
And it should be interesting.
It's like the first place where I have to go where I actually kind of have to think about my safety.
I mean, in the city center, it's pretty locked down.
And, you know, they're like, they're very strict over there now.
And also, too, so apparently they have a, so like you seriously have to have 0.00 blood alcohol level when you're driving.
No drugs, no nothing, no, like, yeah, like they are complete lockdown, which is kind of similar to like Singapore.
And I've been to Singapore before, actually, but like, it is crazy, like knowing that, like, wow, I could have a drink and get pulled over and then be thrown in like a fucking prison with MS-13 gangs.
Well, um, I mean, we're, we're renting a car, but we have a designated driver.
One of our team members is going to be a designated driver because I have a drink every so often.
Some of the team members drink, in case people didn't know that.
I'd like to have a little drink every so often, you know, like to have a little fun here and there, unwind.
But, you know, and when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
So, and some of the people that we'll be with will be trying to have a good time too.
So I'm sure that we'll have plenty of opportunity for that.
But if we don't have any other super chats, I think I will call it a show, but actually, you have one more ad or something, right?
No, of course not.
No, I wouldn't just do an ad.
No, of course not.
But I do want to talk to you guys about Hyperbridge.
So I want to circle back for a moment on the crypto angle that we touched on earlier.
It's wild how digital assets are flipping the script on corporate finance.
And if you're into or if you're looking into how businesses are adapting to this volatile yet rewarding space, Hyperbit Technologies is worth a closer look.
We talked about giants like MicroStrategy and Tesla stacking Bitcoin on their books as a smart treasury move, treating it like digital gold to combat hyperinflation and preserve value.
But Hyperbit, listed as hype on the Canadian Exchange and Hype AF in the US, take double-notch.
They're not just passive holders, they're actively mining coins like Dogecoin, Litecoin, and more with cutting-edge, eco-friendly setups powered by renewables.
This creates a dynamic treasury that's constantly growing through production, not just purchases.
What sets them apart is advanced rigs optimized for efficiency, paired with affordable hydroelectric power, ensuring they mine profitably while keeping their carbon footprint low.
It's a strategy that lets them accumulate assets, reinvest in growth, or even pivot to new opportunities in the crypto ecosystem.
If you're an investor, I crypto exposure, Hyperbit simplifies it all.
No need to deal with hardware, security headaches, or market timing.
They handle the mining acquisitions and safeguarding, giving you a broad, resilient entry into a sector.
Remember, check it out under Hype AF in the US and Hype HYPE in the great nation of Canada.
Again, it's HYPAF in the U.S., just as it shows on the screen.
Link in the bio for more details.
Keep in mind that, you know, investing is risky.
You're not guaranteed a profit, and this is not financial advice.
And, you know, with that said, no, Brayden, I don't have any ads that I'm doing.
I just wanted to talk to people about Hyperbit.
So, you know, how dare you even imply that?
But with that said, I just want to give a shout out to my co-host today.
My name is Mike Mendoza.
Again, I think so, Elijah, for sure, actually, I don't even know for sure, but he may be coming back tonight.
I mean, as of right now, it's 90%, but it may be less than that.
I don't know.
Things are changing all the time.
Amazing things are happening every day.
And like I said, you know, he's not going to leave until the project is done.
So he's working on that right now.
But, you know, guessing locals, guess in the Discord what you think the project that he's working on is.
Thank you for Sarah and Braden for joining me on this very special show.
The book club actually did very well.
We got pinned on the front page tonight, so we should be getting some pretty decent numbers for this.
Also, you know, probably not tonight because this went a little bit longer than I would have liked.
I have to get ready for this trip, but otherwise, I probably would get on locals to hang with you guys a little bit more.
But I do enjoy hanging with people on locals.
Again, as someone asked earlier, if you want to join the Discord, go ahead and then go to ElijahSchaefer.locals.com, sign up there, and then NoticerIM will reach out to you and he'll get you in the Discord.
He'll get you set up.
We have a very strong community of retards in there that you can post racist memes with.
So again, I'm Mike Mendoza.
You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Mike Mendoza JPG.
