In this explosive interview, Amy Dangerfield sits down with conservative commentator and U.S. Senate candidate Sam Parker to discuss the shocking lawsuit filed against him by Alexis Wilkins (widely known as Kash Patel’s girlfriend) after Sam publicly raised questions about her background and possible foreign-intelligence connections, including the provocative “Mossad honeypot” allegation that went viral in patriotic circles.
Sam breaks down:
The exact statements that triggered the defamation lawsuit
Why he believes Alexis Wilkins’ rapid rise in America-First media, her family ties, and certain public contradictions warrant legitimate scrutiny
How this lawsuit fits into a broader pattern of lawfare designed to silence dissent and chill free speech, especially against those asking uncomfortable questions about influence inside the MAGA/Trump orbit
The chilling implications for citizen journalists and independent voices if high-profile figures can weaponize the courts over political criticism
Updates on the legal battle and how supporters can help fight back against what Sam calls an attempted “character assassination” funded by powerful interests

If you have been sleeping under a rock, then you may be unaware of the fact that there has been this war on free speech that has been bubbling up over the period of the last couple of months.
Whether it be the algorithmic changes, whether it be the media monopoly that is taking place, the Ellisons buying out TikTok, banning certain emojis, controlling certain algorithms.
We have just seen this reach a pinnacle that is so dystopian that this is something that only happens in places like Australia, where I'm born.
And there's a reason why I'm living here, trust me, and places like the UK where people are now filing lawsuits over memes, over speech.
Okay.
And here to talk to us all about that today is someone who has been personally targeted by this.
When I was a kid, Ronald Reagan was the president.
And I remember hearing his speeches or snippets of his speeches on TV, on the radio.
And for some reason, I think that just set in at an early age.
My parents listened to Rush Limbaugh all growing all my, you know, during my youth and, you know, formative years.
So I think I just had that political bug.
And then I got involved in politics in Utah.
Utah has a very unique system.
It's called a caucus system.
It's different than any other political system in the other 49 states.
And it allows regular citizens to be much more empowered and to participate much more fully in the electoral process.
And so I did that.
I got involved in the caucus side of things.
And then in 2018, I decided to run against Mitt Romney.
Orrin Hatch had been, I think, a six-term senator at that point in time, an old dinosaur.
And he and the Romneys, at one point, it looked like they're just sort of going to bequeath the crown to Mitt Romney, you know, who had tanked the 2012 election and who just was not really a very good conservative.
And so there were people I tried to get to step up, other people I wanted to run against.
It seemed like everybody declined.
Nobody wanted to go up against him.
I said, well, okay, well, then I'll do it.
I'll do it.
And I'll just do what I can.
And I'll try to hold him accountable and shake things up.
And that's what I did.
And that was in 2018.
And then I've just sort of used that as a springboard forward.
I helped lead the Convention of States movement in the state of Utah after that for a while.
And then I kept my Twitter account and I've just been a tweeter and just gradually got more and more involved in online influence, online commentating, online journalism, and being involved, making friends, making allies, making connections, learning the business, understanding how things operate, and just sort of, and that's gone forward shaping my worldview.
I think I've changed my worldview in the last eight years more than I changed it in the previous 20 years before that.
Yeah, I have a sense of humor just like anybody else.
And I do like to inject it where I can.
Sometimes it plays well online.
Sometimes it doesn't.
You know, it's, I'm not a comedian by any stretch, but like any comedian, you know, will tell you, you know, you don't really know until you test your jokes out and material out in front of the audience.
And sometimes it lands and sometimes it doesn't.
And you retool, right?
So, no, you know, she was somebody that got on my radar, I would say probably during the election of 2024.
And afterward, you know, Cash Catel, you know, there was the hearings, right?
And that he had, you know, to be appointed the director of the FBI.
And there was some media coverage of his girlfriend.
And it was just kind of permanent.
It was kind of bubbling.
It's kind of bubbling up.
And, you know, one of the things I like to do on Twitter is do these investigative threads where I'll find a topic that seems timely and topical and do some research on it and do a thread.
And, you know, everybody who's anybody who's been on Twitter a long time likes a good Twitter thread.
You know, that's sometimes they're like five tweets long.
I've seen epic Twitter threads that are like hundreds of tweets long.
I try to find like a little balance in there.
You know, I've got some threads that are pretty long, maybe 30 to 60 tweets, but I kept this one.
I think it was like 12 or 13 tweets or so.
And so, you know, I gathered material for a few weeks.
And then one day I'm like, you know, let's, she was trending.
People were talking about her.
I'm like, you know what?
I think I'm ready to deploy my findings.
And so I did a thread on Alexis Wilkins.
Who is she?
Who is this girl that's dating the director of the FBI?
Like, who is this?
Who's this young, beautiful woman dating this older, middle-aged Indian man who's the director of the FBI?
It's kind of strange.
It's kind of interesting.
You know, it's the kind of topic that plays well on Twitter, right?
So that's what I did.
I simply aggregated her own social media posts, other media reports and interviews of hers that, you know, conducted of her.
And I just put them in a thread.
And I asked some questions and I said, who is she?
You know, she's this country music singer.
She's a press secretary for a congressman.
She's dating the director of the FBI.
She does work for Prager U and TPUSA and various other organizations as well.
And I put in some family background.
So it's just sort of like a dossier, if you will.
You know, other people drew conclusions from that.
Like I didn't make any assertions.
I didn't accuse her of anything.
I just asked questions like, who is she?
How did she come to obtain this prominence and place herself at the nexus of all these interesting connections?
Well, that was in February.
That was in February earlier this year.
And I didn't hear anything more about it until this lawsuit.
And by the way, I don't think there is a manner in which you could have posed the question in a way that they would not have ultimately given you this reaction and pursued it legally because as we've seen, as, you know, with the case of Elijah Schaefer, he literally didn't say anything at all.
Like there was actually no words involved at all.
It was simply a retweet.
So I think that possibly they decided on the outcome that they wanted.
And then it was like a if the shoe fits type situation where they're like, okay, who kind of fits this narrative?
Who can we deploy this against?
And so I know I kind of asked you at the top of the segment, you know, how are you doing?
But go a little bit more in depth.
Like, how has this lawsuit impacted you personally?
How has it impacted you professionally?
And how do you foresee the period of the next couple of months or possibly the next year playing out?
Because litigation can take a long time, you know?
Well, first of all, it has a silencing effect, which is what I think probably one of the intents was, was to shut me down and silence me.
I think this is an attack on my free speech.
And I think it's an attack on everybody's free speech.
If they can set a precedent here, successfully suing Elijah and myself and another person, Kyle Seraphin, if they can successfully sue us, they can set a terrible precedent for online journalists and commentators and social media users everywhere.
Like you can't talk about powerful public people and influential public figures without the threat of being sued.
And by the way, they can be successful suing you.
This is a terrible precedent.
So yeah, it's really impacted my speech.
It's really had a very chilling effect.
I've had to devote much more time to legal research, fundraising, talking to lawyers and keeping my head down in certain respects.
And that's impacted my ability to research the issues and to bring timely journalistic information to my social media that people expect.
So, I mean, it's affected me professionally.
It's affected me personally.
It's affected me politically and financially and professionally.
It's affected every aspect of my life.
And I hesitate to say those things because, you know, then your enemies latch on to these things and it feeds their vitriol and hatred and it feeds, you know, their imaginations and schemes against you.
But that's the facts.
It's impacted every area of my life and it's going to impact every area of my life until I resolve this situation until it reaches a resolution.
You know, I don't think that you need to do all that much talking in that regard anyways, because the internet is doing it on your behalf.
I'm not sure if you've seen the incredible threads, the memes, the songs that have been all shared all over X with an absolute litany of people who are retweeting some of these exact same posts with the caption, sue me as well, literally daring them to take action, retweeting things like, they can't sue us all.
They can't take action on us all.
But you're absolutely right.
It's a really dystopian and just insane precedent that this would set if this is something that they're actually successful with.
I think we're going to be victorious, but it's going to be a long road and I'm going to need a lot of support.
No man is an island and this is a battle.
This is an attack on me specifically, but it's also an attack on everybody.
And to, you know, to your point, these people saying, you know, they can't get us all, that's true.
But I'm going to need those people saying that to back me up.
If I'm going to be the, you know, if Elijah's and me and Kyle, if we're going to be the guys taking the arrows, okay, fine.
But then we need you guys backing us up.
We need you behind us.
We need that army behind us.
And it looks like they are.
It looks like they are.
You know, the fundraising is going well and the support, the people reaching out to me with just moral support, you know, has been overwhelming.
It's been great.
You know, so I really appreciate that.
But that's what we need.
And, you know, it's interesting too, because, you know, a lot of people are saying things that I've been accused of saying, but I didn't say them.
I didn't say any of these things, but I'm the one being sued for it.
So it's very interesting.
I mean, there are many posts that had many million, more millions of views than mine, making direct allegations and accusations that I never made, that I never made.
Some of the people, you know, like it's easier to sue an American if you're in America than somebody in a foreign country, since a lot of these commentators and people are not in America.
You know, you can't, it's harder to sue them, right?
Harder, harder to bring action against them.
So definitely, I think there's a convenience factor there.
Also, yes, I think that they saw me as like somebody who's got a big enough reach or, you know, level of influence, but yet not institutionally backed.
I don't have institutional backing.
So maybe an easy target that way, but also sending a signal.
Big enough to send a signal, not big enough to mount maybe a vigorous institutional defense.
Yeah, it feels very much the same with Riff TV as well, right?
Because obviously, not a massive media conglomerate or anything, but to sue for, and you're getting sued for the same amount, but the exact valuation of the company, $5 million, it seems pretty obvious exactly the precedent that's being set here and exactly what they're trying to do.
And I completely agree.
It does seem like an attack on speech.
Like I said at the top of the segment, this has really been bubbling up for a while now.
You know, it started when it came to the algorithm changes.
I'm sure you've noticed on X, I've certainly seen posts from people that I don't follow at all.
And I'm like, okay, why am I getting this propaganda all over my timeline?
It happened when the Ellisons started buying up these different media conglomerates, buying up TikTok, already banning certain emojis, banning certain narratives.
It seems like this is the natural next step in the culmination of all of that.
And it's really terrifying and dystopian times.
This is America.
It's not supposed to happen here.
This is the home of the free.
This stuff happens in Australia, where I'm from.
It happens in the UK.
We've now heard of, I believe it's like 1,200 or something cases where people have been pursued criminally and civilly over social media posts.
But this is America.
It's not meant to happen like this.
I do want to ask you, because we've spoken extensively about Alexis Wilkins.
I've heard it said by Elijah and some people who've been commentating on this that they see this as somewhat of a proxy lawsuit from Kash Patel.
Do you have any comments on that, on Kash Patel's possible role in this?
Well, you know, it's an interesting question because she lives in Tennessee.
The law firm bringing this suit is in Virginia, I believe.
It's the law firm that has represented Kash Patel personally in the past and also represented his foundation.
So it would be crazy to think that he doesn't know about this lawsuit.
Now, let's say he doesn't know.
Let's say he doesn't know.
Somehow, his girlfriend is able to enlist his law firm that represents him and his foundation in this action against multiple people around the country and he doesn't know.
I do think that that would be a problem.
He's the director of the FBI and he doesn't know that this is going on right underneath his nose.
And that also presents a problem because if he does know, it would seem allegedly that he's given his blessing.
He's given his consent to this.
And so that leads to difficult questions.
The director of the FBI has given consent for his law firm that has represented him and his foundation to sue private citizens for journalism, jokes, and tweets.
And so some people are saying, yeah, some people are saying this is a proxy attack that Cash is lashing out because he's under fire for the Epstein files, for supporting Israel, for supporting for perhaps covering up the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation, right?
That's what other people are saying.
I don't know if that's true.
I'm not saying it's true, but that's what other people are saying.
And, you know, I can understand why they're saying that.
And I can understand why it looks that way to some people.
So it is, it's a question I think has to be considered, although I don't make any such allegation myself.
And he lashed out in a very famous tweet now, I think, a couple of weeks ago, saying, hey, you know, you can come at me, but don't come at my girlfriend.
And this feels like the legal embodiment of that tweet, like, you know, come at me, but don't come, don't talk about my girlfriend.
You know, that's that's kind of what it feels like.
I don't know if that's, I'm not saying that's what's happening, but that's what it feels like.
You know, when the law firm that represents the director of the FBI is coming after you because of some tweets about his girlfriend, it just, it's a little, a little problematic.
unidentified
Yeah, a little bit problematic, you know, and I it does feel like an attack.
Do they just count on everybody to just stand down and not say anything about that, though?
Because if they're doing this in retaliation to, you know, the court of public opinion and this negative opinion that they have of Kash Patel, his perceived and alleged incompetence, his perceived and alleged misappropriation of FBI resources, if this is in response to that, I mean, you've been in this game for a little bit longer than I have.
Can you explain the demented rhetoric behind like how is that going to actually change people's minds?
If anything, it's probably going to make them double down, much as the case with, you know, when you look at anybody that the establishment is pointing towards and saying, hey, don't talk about this, don't bring this up, don't platform this person, don't push this messaging.
If anything, it just drives more people towards it.
And that's exactly what I see happening in the case with you.
And in the case with Elijah, I really think that this could end up becoming one of the biggest free speech cases.
It's the free speech case in America.
This is truly like, this is one for the history books where people are going to look back and it's like, okay, stake your claim.
What side of history were you on?
Were you on the side of free speech or were you on the side of dissent and trying to push propaganda and trying to push a narrative that this administration is far more competent than they actually are?
No, that's the really interesting thing about this.
Since these lawsuits have gone public, there's been a massive explosion online of people accusing her of what she's suing me for having allegedly said, even though I never said it.
I never said the things that she's alleging that I said or the things that she's suing me for.
And because of that, because of that, it's ignited a massive blowback online.
And everybody else is saying it.
Now, I don't agree with it.
I don't know who she is.
She could just be an average person who pulled herself up by the bootstraps and has attained this level of connection and fame.
Fine.
Like, I'm fine with that if that's the case.
I don't know.
That's why I did my investigation and presented the data and asked questions, right?
And then as information comes out, we learn together and we're, you know, we see where it takes us.
But that's what's interesting.
There's just, it's, there's been a massive streisand effect here.
And they have nobody to blame but themselves.
You know, I mean, it's, I think in some sense, it's if she's hurt over those allegations, she's just made them worse.
This is why I haven't gone home to Australia because Australia does not have a constitution that defends our rights in the same way.
And seeing them under attack here in the United States, honestly, it makes me sick.
It makes me so sad.
And I think that this case is so important.
And this is not the time now to be fearful.
This is not the time now to allow their intimidation tactics to work.
Obviously, be tactful, be intelligent.
Maybe retweeting, daring them to sue you is not necessarily the best idea for all of the viewers out there.
But, you know, use legal terms, say allegedly, protect yourself.
Make sure you're not putting out anything slanderous, but stand in truth.
Speak your truth and do not let these people win.
Because much to your point that we keep coming back to in this interview, I think that is the entire intention behind this lawsuit that they're leveraging against you.
So for everyone else out there, I just like to encourage you, don't stop speaking.
In fact, now is it's never been more important than ever to actually stand your ground and say what you truly believe.
Sam, how can people help you out?
How can they support you?
And then after that, is there anything else that you would like to add or share with the audience?
You can also go to my Twitter profile, based Sam Parker, and there's a link to all my other donation links there.
You know, you can send crypto.
You can, you know, there's a bunch of different donation platforms.
So there's a lot of ways to contribute to my legal defense fund and help me financially.
That's probably the biggest way people can support me now.
If you have legal acumen, if you have legal training and legal, specialized legal knowledge, if you're a lawyer and want to reach out and do some pro bono work or consult on, help me consult on this case and help me respond to this lawsuit, I would appreciate that as well.
So that's another way people can help me.
And then finally, just magnify and boost the topic and back me up online, back Elijah up online, you know, back us up online and fight for our free speech because this isn't just an attack on Elijah and myself.
And Kyle, it's an attack on all of us.
It's an attack on the First Amendment.
That might not have been the goal of this, but that's the result of this: it's silencing us and it's trying to silence us and chill the entire proceedings.
So we have to fight back.
We have to draw a line in the sand.
We have to say, this cannot pass.
This cannot be.
We cannot allow this to be successful.
So join me in this fight.
I'm taking the arrows.
I've been thrust forward and I'm taking the arrows.
Please get behind me.
Get behind me and support me.
And let's do this.
Let's win.
Let's beat back this lawsuit.
Let's beat back all of these lawsuits.
And let's preserve our freedom of speech and our ability to do real journalism, serious journalism, and even some jokes.
