00:00:35 Xavier, the CEO of Walk With Me, thank you for joining the Riley Gaines Show.
00:00:41 Super duper excited you're on.
00:00:43 There are very few people like you with your background and your experience and your testimony, quite frankly,
00:00:49 on the conservative side of the aisle, especially in the influencing, if you even want to call it that, department.
00:00:57 Can you give us a little bit of that background that I'm talking about?
00:00:59 Because I think it's incredibly interesting, and it probably gives you unique insight and perspectives
00:01:05 and a lot of the things even still that are circulating in the conversations online.
00:01:10 Well, first of all, thank you for having me, Mrs. Barker.
00:01:12 You know, I'm a huge longtime fan and supporter of you, and I play no games about you ever, not today and not any other day.
00:01:18 But yes, I come from a, you know, I would say unique, but at this point, there's so many people that are coming along the journey with me.
00:01:26 I'm very happy about it, but I was a BLM activist.
00:01:29 I grew up in a very left-wing liberal household.
00:01:31 I would dare to even say it was pretty Marxist, my upbringing.
00:01:34 And I was told my entire life that I needed to fixate on race and that everything needed to be about race.
00:01:39 And then as a joke, I applied to be on a Netflix reality show and ended up being cast to be a part of The Circle, either season two or three.
00:01:47 They were filming it during COVID.
00:01:48 and my whole character was supposed to be me pretending or me pretending to be a woke white
00:01:53 woman being a catfish online but teaching people how to be progressive activists and in the process
00:01:59 of getting ready to go on that show i was like well let me study the counter arguments so that
00:02:02 i could go up and debate charlie kirk and ben shapiro and prager you and try to debunk all
00:02:07 these prager you videos and i accidentally debunked myself instead and backed out of the show next
00:02:13 thing you know i'm like well if i am wrong about all these different things i'm wrong about the
00:02:17 Democratic Party. I'm wrong about socialism. I can't be the only one who is going through this.
00:02:22 So I started speaking out. And five years later, here we are on The Riley Gaines Show.
00:02:26 So this was peak COVID, you said. So like what, 2020, 2021 timeframe?
00:02:34 Yes. And the only reason I applied to be on this reality show is because I was bored. It was the
00:02:38 height of the pandemic. And I made this application video as a joke because it was one of the shows
00:02:43 I was binge watching with my old roommate and he like his girlfriend actually was the one that got
00:02:48 me to end up sending the video in during COVID. So I was like, okay, well, I'm doing this now.
00:02:54 And I ended up being selected to be a finalist right after George Floyd had died. So it was all
00:02:59 just happening at the same time. And because it was COVID, I had nothing but time on my hands.
00:03:03 So I'm like, well, let me start researching without confirmation bias, which I didn't realize
00:03:08 how bad I had confirmation bias, and I saw quickly that I was not researching to make a conclusion.
00:03:14 I already had a conclusion that I was trying to research to defend, but once I started looking
00:03:19 at the conservative side of the argument, I started realizing, oh wait, socialism has literally never
00:03:23 worked. BLM has always been a scam, and the Democratic Party has always been the party of 0.82
00:03:29 racism and violence. I have just been drinking the Kool-Aid because this was the indoctrination 1.00
00:03:33 that was put upon me from the age of a little child well let me tell you i watched the show
00:03:40 the circle um i enjoyed it i had no idea though that they give you that much prep or maybe
00:03:46 direction going into the show so that's super interesting and i will say the covid to reality
00:03:52 television pipeline must be universal because i applied for survivor imagine me like out in the
00:03:58 wilderness. I just thought the idea at the time, like, again, this is peak COVID, where you're
00:04:03 kind of like, I think everyone had like a little bit of hysteria, especially me. I was a college
00:04:07 athlete during the time, and I felt like I was getting fat. I wasn't swimming the same way. I'm
00:04:10 like, I want to go on Survivor so I can be skinny. That's what I wanted. So the pipeline is so real.
00:04:16 Anyways, all that to say, with this being like the George Floyd timeline, that was like kind of
00:04:22 another wrench in it all, though. Talk about that. And then when you're speaking up came, I think,
00:04:27 And specifically the George Floyd timeline and maybe some of the response that you saw from other BLM activists.
00:04:35 Yeah, so I was already a BLM activist long before George Floyd.
00:04:39 So I was already, you know, I was the kid in high school that was putting the posters all over the walls.
00:04:44 I was the kid in college that was, you know, spreading woke stuff on campus.
00:04:47 I was never radical left, but I was always very, you know, woke.
00:04:51 I was trying so hard to, you know, live out this dream that I had of continuing the civil rights mission, dare I say.
00:04:59 So then by the time that everything happened with George Floyd, I was really aghast pretty quickly on after George Floyd's death because I just started seeing people exploiting the movement so much.
00:05:10 And I started realizing how performative a lot of the activism was.
00:05:13 Like, I remember I was never on the all cops are bad train.
00:05:16 Eight of my uncles were police officers.
00:05:18 My best friend is a police officer and he was my best friend then, too.
00:05:22 And he was in the police academy when all of this was happening.
00:05:24 So I knew that I wasn't against all police officers.
00:05:28 So I thought it was weird that so many people were demonizing every single cop.
00:05:32 And I thought it was insane to watch the looting and the rioting happening.
00:05:35 And I remember I created a Twitch account where I was watching these Antifa riots and the looting.
00:05:40 And it was like these white Antifa members saying that they were stealing all of these shoes and TVs in the name of justice for reparations.
00:05:48 It's like there's so many layers of why this just wasn't making sense to me.
00:05:51 Then I started looking at some of the families.
00:05:53 I looked at Breonna Taylor's mother and how Breonna Taylor's mother was even speaking out saying that her daughter's name and death was exploited.
00:06:01 And there was millions of dollars made off of her death.
00:06:04 And not a single dollar went to her, went to her legal fees or anything of that nature.
00:06:08 So I just started seeing the fraud pretty early on.
00:06:11 And whenever I called it out, I was told that I needed to stay in line or that I was losing the plot.
00:06:16 and I just got sick of it.
00:06:18 I was tired of it.
00:06:19 And then once I started seeing behind the curtain,
00:06:21 it was around that same time
00:06:23 I started to do the research
00:06:24 and started going on like PragerU.com
00:06:26 and looking at the videos,
00:06:27 seeing that the party switch never happened,
00:06:29 seeing that the KKK was a Democratic Party wing,
00:06:32 seeing how ActBlue was funneling all of this money
00:06:34 that we thought was going to the black community,
00:06:36 but actually going towards progressive causes 0.88
00:06:38 that were further destroying the black community. 0.93
00:06:40 And once I had enough, I finally walked away. 1.00
00:06:43 Talk about that for a second.
00:06:45 You know, the party switch never happened. I think that's very relevant now, especially with what we've seen in the past few weeks with the Southern Poverty Law Center, who had been receiving and funding white supremacist rallies.
00:07:00 So this party switch elaborated on that a little bit more.
00:07:04 Yes. So a lot of people will try to argue with you saying that, well, Republicans, yes, they'll agree that Republicans freed the slaves and that Republicans, you know, were in favor of civil rights.
00:07:12 but then they'll say that there was this big switch it's like okay when did this switch happen
00:07:16 it never happened over the course of 30 to 40 years you maybe had a handful of people that
00:07:23 switched parties you will always see like different slight alignments changing over the course of
00:07:28 decades when it comes to political parties but there was never a grand moment of them being like
00:07:33 okay well we're now the democratic party and you're now the republican party and we are going
00:07:37 to take over these issues that simply never happened that's a myth and when people try to
00:07:42 So my thing when I say to people is when they bring up the party switch, I'm like, OK, how many seats actually changed?
00:07:47 How many people actually got up and went to the other side?
00:07:50 That did not happen.
00:07:51 So when we see now that the Southern Poverty Law Center is getting exposed for sending millions of dollars to the KKK and to the American Nazi Party, that does not shock me at all because this has always been their strategy.
00:08:03 Because what they know is that racism and particularly the fear of racism has always been the Achilles heel of our society.
00:08:09 Our country has bent over backwards more than any other nation to right the wrongs of our past.
00:08:16 So what they know is that if they don't have that leverage of the fear of racism, then they don't have leverage at all.
00:08:21 So that's why they're taking hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, and putting it towards making it seem like there's racism.
00:08:28 The supply for racism was not reaching the demand.
00:08:31 So they had to overexpose these different groups that are so niche with so few people that actually align with them.
00:08:38 They had to go and funnel the racism and create these rallies.
00:08:42 And so many of the different events that happened with the Unite the Right rallies, that was funded by the SPLC.
00:08:48 That was funded by the left because they want to try to make it seem like there's way more racism in this country than there actually is.
00:08:54 And that says a lot about the state of the left.
00:08:57 Yeah, you know, you can't fight something that's not really there.
00:09:00 So what do you do? You create it.
00:09:01 And the fear of racism, that's a really good point.
00:09:04 And it's not even just America.
00:09:06 We've seen people like Keir Starmer, the prime minister in England,
00:09:10 who has said, like, you know, the greatest threat that Britain faces is Islamophobia.
00:09:15 Therefore, he's not willing to go after the grooming gangs
00:09:18 or any of the bad actors who have immigrated illegally into Europe, 0.66
00:09:23 which I think is a pretty grave site, especially in looking at it.
00:09:28 It's a much smaller scale of what could happen here, even in America.
00:09:31 Now, you were told that some people, as you just alluded to,
00:09:34 told you to kind of you know stay in line what specifically do you think they're referring to
00:09:41 is it because of the color of your skin they're telling you you have to act a certain way because
00:09:45 you are black well mind you when i would hear things like that it would literally be at blm
00:09:51 rallies where i would hear things of that nature so like when they started going on like i remember 0.61
00:09:56 particularly walnut creek california there was a protest that i had went to and it was a peaceful
00:10:00 protest and i had said to people from the jump like we are not about to go bust these windows
00:10:05 please stop robbing the nordstroms here it's my favorite nordstrom i was like you guys need to
00:10:09 behave yourselves if we're going to get our point across we cannot be dangerous and violent and
00:10:15 reckless that's not how this works and people were telling me that like my focus was in the wrong
00:10:20 place and that i need to stop worrying about the people who want to loot and riot and worry more
00:10:24 about you know police being bad people and i remember the the point that like absolutely fried
00:10:31 my mind is our protest suddenly like diverted off of the path and they started going down to the
00:10:38 highway and blocking off the interstate and i'm a firm believer people have to get to work people
00:10:43 have babies that they need to give birth to people have reasons to be on this highway why are you
00:10:49 guys blocking the interstate and i didn't go down to the interstate i kept telling people like you
00:10:53 guys should not do this and there was a guy there it was a white guy particularly he started charging
00:10:58 at the police officers that were on the interstate to try to like combat this whole situation and the
00:11:04 police were begging him to stop coming forward otherwise they were going to have to hurt him
00:11:08 and he was begging them to shoot him so they shot him with a rubber bullet just barely grazed him
00:11:14 mind you he saw that i watched this all play out in real time he saw that there was blood he laid
00:11:19 on the ground kind of did this a little bit so the blood would drip and then had his friend with a
00:11:23 professional camera come and take a photo of him and then after that like an hour or two later that
00:11:28 photo was all over the san francisco bay area of people saying it was a peaceful protest yet the
00:11:33 police chose violence yeah i think when you have the opportunity or the ability to witness it in
00:11:40 real life and you see it play out differently than what's being portrayed online i would imagine that
00:11:46 radicalizes you a bit and so now i guess kind of being on the other side of the aisle which i hate
00:11:52 to make it sound partisan like that because the reality is these issues a lot of the issues that
00:11:58 have become so divisive at least in terms of elected representation and certainly how legacy
00:12:03 media purports these things they're really not having kind of been on both sides here where
00:12:08 would you say you stand in the political aisle now i would say i am right of center i'm a
00:12:16 constitutional conservative and i overall just want common sense i'm not somebody that wants to
00:12:21 see you know the left to be demoralized or stomp all over them i want the best for all americans
00:12:26 in this country and i want to see us uniting and i feel like the political horseshoe has changed
00:12:32 so much between 2020 and now where it's no longer just right versus left it is extremism versus
00:12:39 you know common sense moderates you know i have a lot of people that follow me that are left of
00:12:44 center and it's because they also don't like what's happening on the left where they're trying
00:12:48 to castrate children but they also don't like what's happening on the far alt-right where
00:12:51 they're just, you know, conspiracy theorists that have absolutely lost their mind and want to blame
00:12:55 Israel for the reason that they didn't have enough milk for their cereal that day. So it's like,
00:13:00 I try to align with the people that overall want the best for America. I'm about American interest.
00:13:07 And that includes, again, every American that is legally here. That's why I want to protect,
00:13:12 but I'm all about the constitution and I am all about, you know, I want people to be able to do
00:13:16 their thing. I say that my audience is the Beverly Hills conservative. Like I'm not the most strict
00:13:21 authoritarian person on what you're you know able to do or what i believe that you should be allowed
00:13:25 to do i'm just all for god-given rights and having common sense who's your favorite member of
00:13:31 congress like who do you feel like resonates most with you i love representative anna paulina luna
00:13:41 she is iconic and legendary she really is she has been fantastic i mean across the board um even
00:13:48 And today, I think I'll see her on a lot of the Maha stuff.
00:13:51 She has been just a fantastic leader.
00:13:54 What about someone like Thomas Massey, who he's a pretty principled constitutionalist.
00:14:00 How do you feel about him?
00:14:03 You know, I haven't done as much of a deep dive on him as I need to.
00:14:06 I know that he tends to be a really polarizing character, but I don't have too much of an opinion.
00:14:12 I need to look more on him.
00:14:13 Yeah, I know.
00:14:15 Say what you will about him.
00:14:16 I don't know if he's the best team player.
00:14:18 but I brought him up because he does seem to be incredibly principled.
00:14:24 Okay, you mentioned kind of some of the flack that you receive from the right,
00:14:30 and I've talked about it on this show before,
00:14:32 and we were talking about it prior to clicking record.
00:14:36 Do you almost feel like there's a level of fatigue in the,
00:14:40 again, I hate the word influencer, but in the influencer space,
00:14:44 especially being a conservative influencer like do you feel a level of fatigue and just
00:14:51 like i'm tired i'm tired of this i don't feel that we have a moment of peace no peace here's
00:15:00 the thing it's when you when your side wins because conservatives were winning we were
00:15:04 winning back culture maga is hot like you think back to 2024 everybody was locked in we had we
00:15:10 were finally getting people to be on the same page of, okay, we should not have men in the
00:15:14 locker rooms. We should have strong borders. Everybody was getting aligned with, again,
00:15:19 common sense policies that protected American interests. But once we won, it seemed like a lot
00:15:25 of people, if we're just being real about it, a lot of people just needed to keep the rent paid.
00:15:29 So they had to start finding new enemies. And because the left was so demoralized for so long,
00:15:33 it's like the right just started imploding within on itself. And now it's like, I feel like we've
00:15:39 been in a civil war when it comes to right-wing commentators over the last two years. And a lot
00:15:45 of it is because of bots. A lot of it is because of paid propaganda. And I feel like the people
00:15:51 that are often getting paid or the people who are often getting accused of being the paid grifters,
00:15:56 they're the ones that aren't even collecting the check. It's the ones that are coming from like
00:16:00 the Qatari influence, which is actually documented and actually being showcased. 0.99
00:16:04 It's like a lot of them tend to be dividing us on the right. 0.88
00:16:08 And it's sad, too, because it's like our top leaders are all fighting each other within the conservative movement.
00:16:14 This civil war that's been happening between, you know, Daily Wire and Candace and Tucker and Megan and everybody attacking each other.
00:16:20 The person that we had that was the glue that would have kept all of us, you know, more sane and able to actually have productive conversations.
00:16:27 That was Charlie Kirk.
00:16:29 And ever since Charlie Kirk has been murdered, I feel like the conservative movement has been really ghetto.
00:16:33 it feels lawless it feels like we don't have direction i feel like i'm not even joking when
00:16:38 i say the conservative movement feels like haiti when haiti lost their king it's like there's no
00:16:43 longer somebody that's like keeping us you know aligned and able to be civil so now it's just
00:16:49 it's uncivilized what do you think the future of the conservative movement is which granted i will
00:16:54 say it's like nearly impossible to predict um i think a week in politics is equivalent to like
00:17:00 two years in in normal life so it's impossible to predict but do you think like the whole maga
00:17:06 movement dies when president trump is out of office or do you think we coalesce behind the
00:17:13 next political leader is it another influential figure who's not elected uh obviously we talked
00:17:18 about charlie kirk and i am like in full agreement with you he really was like the connecting fiber
00:17:23 coalition builder i will never forget kind of watching the behind the scenes of the rnc
00:17:29 of i think what july leading up to the election this was right after president trump
00:17:33 had an assassination attempt one of many at this point in butler pennsylvania on his life
00:17:38 watching the behind the scenes of charlie coordinate some of the speakers who were there
00:17:43 one of those being amber rose who i know you're friends with um he really was like the connecting
00:17:50 fibers and the most amazing thing was he didn't want credit for it so that's what i think a lot
00:17:55 of people who maybe didn't get to witness it up close and personal you really didn't realize
00:17:58 but now we're all feeling the real effect of what this looks like so what do you think
00:18:04 the future is i think especially going into 2026 and 2028 you know my answer to that changes month
00:18:12 over month there is so much that's just left in the unknown at this point i feel like we were
00:18:18 going down the direction for a while where i was getting really scared about the state of the right
00:18:21 To be honest, we started seeing way too many people that should not be viewed as showcase.
00:18:26 Like there were way too many people who should not be viewed as the centerpiece of the right
00:18:30 that were becoming way too popular way too quickly.
00:18:33 You know, you know who they are.
00:18:34 Like some of these more extreme people like a Nick Fuentes, like a Dan Bilzerian.
00:18:38 But what actually does give me some optimism is you have someone like Nick Fuentes finally
00:18:42 admitting he's not even Republican.
00:18:43 He's a Democrat.
00:18:44 He is outwardly telling everyone now that he is a Democrat.
00:18:48 And, you know, all of the fraud and the extremism and the hate that comes with him, that's going along with him across the horseshoe over to the radical left.
00:18:56 Then you have someone like Dan Bilzerian.
00:18:58 Dan and Nick are at a civil war now where they're attacking each other.
00:19:02 So I think they're also starting to implode.
00:19:05 A lot of these people that are just radically, you know, conspiratorial and crazy on the alt-right, they have attacked each other so much that I think that they are starting to cancel each other out.
00:19:15 now what is left in the unknown is what's going to come in these next few months i mean people
00:19:20 were just talking again last week thinking that we're going to have another pandemic so it's like
00:19:25 you know you never know what's going to happen that's going to drastically change people's public 0.86
00:19:28 perception you know the war has not been popular i'm very in favor of the war but hopefully you
00:19:33 know once the war is wrapped up we're able to get back into a position of not being on defense but
00:19:39 showcasing who's really on offense we need to get back to reminding people we are not that far
00:19:44 removed from joe biden's america we are not that far removed from it being normalized for men to
00:19:50 be in the locker rooms for us to not have borders like we didn't even have any kind of border patrol
00:19:54 for so long we had millions of illegals coming into our country for so long and we have shut
00:19:59 that down but instead of people celebrating that and being happy about that and focusing on that 0.87
00:20:03 they're instead focusing on attacking each other within the right about the most small things but
00:20:08 i don't know i i'm i try not to be optimistic or pessimistic to go back to your initial question
00:20:14 because if you're pessimistic you won't do any work if you're optimistic you'll get too comfortable
00:20:19 and not do any work so i just try to be as real as possible and get things done you know it's so
00:20:24 true uh and history has proven this to be true right where success it breeds complacency
00:20:30 and complacency breeds failure it's the enemy to growth it's the enemy to progress and i think
00:20:36 there is a level of complacency amongst the conservative movement. And I totally agree
00:20:42 with you, too, about people like Nick Fuentes who are now coming out and saying, you know,
00:20:46 I would never vote for President Trump or the like again. I'm voting for the Democratic Party
00:20:51 to punish them. I've never understood. They oftentimes get labeled as far right, but I
00:20:56 never really saw Nick Fuentes as far right. I think he's been able to hide under the cloak
00:21:03 of conservatism i don't think he's a conservative really by any stretch of the imagination maybe on
00:21:08 some of the cultural stuff that again 90 of people agree on sure i guess um but i think he's been
00:21:14 able to hide under that cloak for a long time so to now see him saying it outright i'm right there
00:21:19 with you one thing i want to ask you about before that there's several things i want to get to but
00:21:24 you say you're in support of the war we see a lot of discourse online especially from some of the
00:21:28 people that we've already alluded to we've already mentioned who are in opposition of the war
00:21:33 and call President Trump horrible things because of it.
00:21:36 Can you tell me why you are?
00:21:38 I think this is good for my audience or my viewers to hear.
00:21:42 So the conversation begins with Islam.
00:21:44 I will never miss an opportunity to remind people
00:21:47 that when someone is screaming,
00:21:49 death to America,
00:21:51 and we are constantly seeing death in America, 0.90
00:21:53 maybe we should believe them. 1.00
00:21:55 Okay, when it comes to the radical Islamic brotherhood, 0.99
00:21:58 they have been dead set on destroying Jews, Christians, 0.95
00:22:01 and all of Western society for literally over a thousand years. 1.00
00:22:06 Since the beginning of Islam, they have been dedicated to trying to take us out. 1.00
00:22:09 And I understand why certain people are, you know, concerned and jaded, 1.00
00:22:13 especially if they're, you know, an older generation than us, no shade.
00:22:16 If they were, you know, older and watching everything that happened with 9-11 and Afghanistan
00:22:22 and they don't want to be in another forever war,
00:22:24 I can understand why they are concerned about that.
00:22:27 However, those concerns are completely divorced from reality. 0.95
00:22:29 everything that we have done so far in this current war it is as opposite as the afghanistan
00:22:35 situation as it possibly could be we are getting more transparency we're very efficient we're not
00:22:40 putting you know boots on the ground and like just invading every single middle eastern country
00:22:44 we are getting in we are neutralizing the threat and then we are getting out we already know that 0.68
00:22:50 in iran the iranian regime was building nukes that were you know a hundred feet underground why else
00:22:56 would they be under there if they weren't trying to build their weaponry? And they, again, have
00:23:00 told us so many times about what their intentions are. And we've seen the way that they have wreaked
00:23:04 havoc on every single ally of ours, not even just Israel, but all over Europe. So we have to get
00:23:10 really serious about neutralizing this threat. And when people bring up the fact that, oh, well,
00:23:14 they've been saying every few years that Iran is a couple of weeks away from building nukes, 0.97
00:23:19 that's because every time we stomp them out, they come back like roaches. Every time we neutralize 0.99
00:23:24 the problem, they spin the block. So we have to spin the block. I describe fighting the Islamic
00:23:30 terror situation as mowing the lawn. You have to mow the lawn every so often. Otherwise it's going 1.00
00:23:37 to start growing again. The weeds are going to start growing again and the extremism is going
00:23:40 to come again. So we have to wipe that out before they come over here. And hopefully we are able to,
00:23:45 you know, come up with some kind of regime change over there that they're at least going to be
00:23:49 western friendly so that they're not being run by terrorists who want to take us out we've already
00:23:55 had 60 000 islamic terrorist attacks since 9 11 how many more do you want before you realize we 0.78
00:24:00 have to do something about this threat yeah and you you got to give it to president trump uh he 0.78
00:24:05 continues to prove people wrong whether it's international relations whether it's the tariff
00:24:10 conversation uh you got to give it to him it he knows what he's doing uh and yeah my husband like
00:24:17 I said he you know Louie grew up in England lived in Dubai which is very westernized but lived in
00:24:23 Kuwait and Malta spent time in the Middle East just with I guess his his dad's work but now
00:24:28 looking at the state of England he actually calls it Englandistan he's like I'm so glad I'm not
00:24:34 there I'm so glad to be 4,000 miles separated from his home country which is sad for him he's
00:24:41 like look I have so many people I love there my friends and my family he says it has become
00:24:45 so radicalized by that that sort of influence um so i'm right there with you and speaking of dubai
00:24:53 it's like the uae themselves they spoke out and they started putting restrictions on their students
00:24:57 going to school in in england because they know that if they send their students their arab students
00:25:03 over to the uk for their higher education there is a good chance they're going to be radicalized
00:25:08 by islam so if the uae is saying that why are americans here not understanding it i think too
00:25:13 many americans have such a westernized perspective of the world they don't understand that in the
00:25:18 east they actually want to wipe us out and they are actually willing to kill themselves in order
00:25:22 to kill us so we have to take that seriously especially as we're seeing iran partner up with 0.98
00:25:27 more of our enemies you're seeing radical islam partner up with all these marxists and communists 0.95
00:25:33 you see them in cuba you see them in venezuela you see them in columbia and they are taking over 0.99
00:25:38 all the communism there and partnering up to trade anti-american secrets and they also iran 0.51
00:25:44 also just did a 25-year deal with china in exchange for cheap oil and they're exchanging 0.82
00:25:50 military training and anti-western secrets and we've been in a secret war with china for years 0.73
00:25:55 now if not decades at this point where they are beating us it's called the art of war you know 1.00
00:26:00 the war of deception they are they are fighting us in a war without firing a single bullet so china 0.96
00:26:06 is still the enemy islam is the enemy and communism and marxism are certainly the enemy
00:26:11 all right i want to talk to you guys about something that i know a lot of people privately 0.91
00:26:16 and quietly deal with which is private student loan debt you've probably heard me mention my
00:26:20 friends at why refi before what they do is truly incredible if you are stuck with private student
00:26:25 loan debt that feels impossible or your monthly payment is higher than what you can afford or
00:26:30 maybe you're already in default know that it does not have to be that way and why refi is here
00:26:35 to help you they work specifically with you with people like you one-on-one they sit down to create
00:26:41 a custom payment plan based on what you can actually afford and the best part is they do
00:26:46 not care about your credit score so if this is something that could help you help you feel like
00:26:51 there was light at the end of the tunnel you don't want to be weighed down by this burden anymore go
00:26:56 to yrefy.com that is y-r-e-f-y.com and be sure you tell them that riley from the riley gains show
00:27:01 sent you. I think people here, especially like your standard woke white woman, right? You know
00:27:11 the one I'm talking about. They have such a skewed perception of what oppression really is, so much
00:27:16 so that they don't recognize real oppression. Like radical Islam is rooted in pedophilia. It's rooted 0.98
00:27:23 in forced compliance. It's rooted in honor killings, total oppression of women, but they just 1.00
00:27:30 have no idea i think a large part of that is because of our education system here where maybe
00:27:36 maybe they aren't necessarily taught it i know i really wasn't which is kind of concerning
00:27:40 so they just have a totally skewed perception of what it means to be oppressed because they
00:27:47 believe they themselves are oppressed we live in the most diverse inclusive opportunistic nation
00:27:52 in the world and they can't recognize it so uh really not surprising that they don't i guess
00:28:00 call it what it is or be excited when we aim to destroy terrorism one thing I
00:28:08 want to ask you about because it's something you do really really well is
00:28:12 comedy like you're funny and you're easy to watch and you're enjoyable and I find
00:28:17 myself like she's an ear-to-ear when your videos pop up on my screen what do
00:28:21 you make of other conservative personalities maybe influencers I feel
00:28:28 like this is something that our side does not do well at all. You know, when it comes to the
00:28:35 political commentary, influencer, creator space, whatever you want to call it, I think that more
00:28:40 people just need to make sure that they have other aspects of their brand that connects them to
00:28:46 people. So like with me, I started, when I first started making content, I only talked about
00:28:51 politics. And then I realized I was like, okay, if I want people to understand that I'm a sane
00:28:54 person and i'm a person that is actually a human in america that wants america to be real i started
00:29:00 talking about the other things that i'm passionate about outside of just politics so i would start
00:29:04 talking about you know pop culture i started talking about you know certain sports things
00:29:09 fashion things travel things you know being bougie um and then doing also with a layer of comedy
00:29:15 because i feel like comedy is the best way that you can try to reach across the aisle and try to
00:29:21 get people to understand your point without them getting triggered and offended and you know wanting
00:29:26 to cancel you and because i'm somebody that was over on the left for so long i know what clicks
00:29:31 for the left i know what is i know what the trigger words are that the left is automatically
00:29:36 going to stop listening to you so like when i created my walk with me series for example
00:29:40 i created that with a very particular purpose where i wanted to win over los angeles audiences
00:29:46 And I wanted to be the most over-the-top, obnoxious LA influencer ever with the $25 smoothie and the headphones on and the hypebeast athleisure clothing on.
00:29:57 I was like, I'm going to do everything cliche and everything about it is going to make you think when you open this video, I'm about to go on some woke liberal rant.
00:30:07 but I'm talking about conservative values, but from a stance of, this is common sense.
00:30:12 This is what we all agree upon behind closed doors and at the dinner table.
00:30:16 But when you just put it out there while sassily walking and sipping a smoothie,
00:30:21 it's like people tend to gravitate towards it more and start to ask themselves more questions.
00:30:27 So that's what I try to do.
00:30:29 And I think there's a lot, there are some really talented creators out there.
00:30:32 I just think that they need to make sure that they don't get too boxed into the X atmosphere, that they start losing track on how to relate to humans that are absorbed into politics all the time.
00:30:44 Because this space can really make you lose your mind.
00:30:46 You really can get demoralized quickly, lose passion quickly, and just lose the plot if all you're doing is constantly consuming political content.
00:30:55 So you have to have other hobbies and passions and interests, and showcasing that on your platform definitely will help as well.
00:31:01 Yeah. And I think when you do that, it allows you to show up to the political space with more, I guess, umph and kind of like fire under you. Otherwise, I agree with you. What about you mentioned being in L.A.? What's the current state of things there in terms of like the homelessness, the drug problems, the poverty, the high prices? What do things look like currently? Because we see things online, but you live there.
00:31:32 So L.A. currently looks like the purgatory on the way to hell.
00:31:36 It's pretty bad.
00:31:38 I luckily do not leave my little areas.
00:31:41 I know exactly where to go and where not to go.
00:31:43 So I do love living in L.A.
00:31:45 I just don't visit 95% of L.A. because it's so bad.
00:31:49 And it's way more profitable to pretend to fight an issue than to actually fight an issue.
00:31:54 So the homeless crisis keeps getting worse because they keep getting billions of more dollars to pretend to fight it.
00:32:00 And what's wild about it is most of the shelters are empty.
00:32:04 Most of the shelters have plenty of beds, plenty of room, plenty of food, but they're constantly incentivizing the homeless people to stay on drugs and to stay on the streets because that's how the benefits just keep cycling for everyone.
00:32:19 They get to keep their drugs.
00:32:21 They don't have to go to rehab.
00:32:22 And the homeless shelters keep getting more money without actually having to do any work.
00:32:26 And then you know everything with the Palisades.
00:32:28 It took so long for them to start acknowledging the fact that this was arson.
00:32:31 I knew from the day it was happening that it was arson because I had multiple friends calling me, telling me that they saw a gang of people on motorcycles going around starting these fires.
00:32:42 But for so long, they didn't want to acknowledge it, just like they didn't want to take accountability for the fact that there was no water in the fire hydrants.
00:32:49 So there's all these different things happening.
00:32:51 The crime is egregious.
00:32:53 You know, you can't drive anywhere.
00:32:54 I have rules where if there's not a secured parking garage or valet, I refuse to drive there in L.A.
00:33:00 It's that bad.
00:33:01 So I'm very disgusted by how bad Karen Bass has allowed this city to get.
00:33:07 And I'm so happy that someone like Spencer Pratt is jumping into this race because, you know, he's somebody that didn't necessarily want to be a career politician.
00:33:14 He would have been very happy sitting on his millions and chilling for the rest of his life.
00:33:18 But instead, he is somebody that is in this for the love of the city and the love of the game.
00:33:22 He is someone that actually wants to come and change and expose this fraud, bring some transparency to L.A., and make L.A. cool again.
00:33:30 Everybody that's here, that's been here for more than, I would say, five years, at least four years, they are on the same page of we want to see L.A. have its golden era back.
00:33:39 We want to see the movie industry coming back because L.A. is even losing the film industry because it's going to Atlanta.
00:33:46 Yeah, it's going to Atlanta and New Orleans and all these different places.
00:33:50 And all of our major events are going to Vegas because it's too expensive to have a business here.
00:33:54 And this is largely Gavin Newsom's problem, too.
00:33:58 He's making it to where it's impossible to have a thriving business.
00:34:01 So many of my favorite places that I would go to in L.A. since I've been here and I've only been here three and a half years, they have been shut down.
00:34:08 And it's crazy because they have booming business every single time I'm in these vicinities, in these places.
00:34:13 it is packed wall to wall and they still can't be profitable because they're dealing with so much
00:34:18 crime, so much taxation, and then so much constantly, you know, so much constant new
00:34:24 regulation that it's just made the city impossible to thrive in. So we definitely need change and we
00:34:30 need it now. Yeah, I'm super excited for Spencer Pratt. You said it, but oftentimes those who
00:34:36 don't want to be politicians make the best politicians. It did not stop Magic Johnson
00:34:42 from endorsing, I believe, as most people would, the worst candidate in the race.
00:34:51 Let's watch this video really quick.
00:34:53 I'm supporting Mayor Bass.
00:34:55 First of all, I go back with her probably 30 years.
00:34:59 She sustained the first ever consecutive decrease in homelessness.
00:35:06 Homicide rate is down.
00:35:08 New housing units, 40,000.
00:35:11 I mean, she's doing a tremendous job.
00:35:14 Mayor Bass has to have a second term, and I'm excited to say that.
00:35:20 Oh, nice. Thank you so much. I so appreciate that.
00:35:25 Well, you know, listen, you took on a tough job here, and you've done a fabulous job,
00:35:34 and all of us appreciate your effort and what you're doing,
00:35:37 And we look forward to helping you continue your mission and the things that you have in store, your vision for the city.
00:35:46 And I'm on board. You just tell me what I need to do.
00:35:49 Well, you know what, Magic? You are so important to Los Angeles.
00:35:53 When people think of Los Angeles, they think of Magic Johnson.
00:35:57 You are such a bright light to our city. You've always stood with me.
00:36:01 We have stood together, accomplishing great things for Los Angeles.
00:36:04 And I look forward to all that we can do.
00:36:07 We're creating jobs for the people here in Los Angeles.
00:36:12 That's what she's doing.
00:36:14 Amazing. 0.97
00:36:15 Tremendous job.
00:36:16 Those types of videos just seem so manufactured, right?
00:36:21 Obviously, she's standing just barely out of frame.
00:36:24 She walks in.
00:36:24 Magic Johnson's like, oh, man, how'd you get here?
00:36:27 What do you make of this?
00:36:31 Magic Johnson blinked twice.
00:36:34 Yeah. 0.99
00:36:34 link twice because i just know karen bass was behind that camera like
00:36:38 being like endorse me or else you know here's the thing because how you know magic johnson is lying
00:36:49 is because nobody that is self-respecting and having an honest conversation is ever going to
00:36:54 say that there has been improvement in the homeless crisis here no matter how far left you
00:36:59 are there is not a single person i know in la even my most liberal friends would say that to
00:37:05 to brag about karen bass's treatment of the homeless crisis is insane or to talk about 0.84
00:37:11 housing or any of that overall that is absolutely moronic but you know can i say something is this 0.78
00:37:17 a safe space really come on isn't magic johnson the same person that got magically healed from 0.91
00:37:23 hiv back in the 90s if we're gonna have an honest conversation and i'm not trying to put my tinfoil
00:37:28 hat on but i'm just saying i have a hunch that whatever kind of deal he did behind the scenes
00:37:34 with this remedy this cure that nobody else can access they probably have him on a leash for the
00:37:40 rest of this man's life if we're going to keep it all the way a thousand if we're going to keep it
00:37:44 all the way real he has some secrets that he knows that they know that they need to make sure that or
00:37:50 that he knows that he needs to stay in the good graces of these people of the powers that be
00:37:55 Because if there's one person in Los Angeles that I know is probably a part of some of these corrupt elite circles that people talk about, it's probably, it's for sure Karen Bass.
00:38:05 And, you know, also when it comes to Magic Johnson, it's so disappointing to see him be like this because I actually just ran into him at Air One.
00:38:12 And this guy.
00:38:13 It's like the most L.A. thing ever.
00:38:15 Yeah, literally.
00:38:16 I ran into him at the Studio City Air One.
00:38:19 And I know that he has partnered with lots of conservative organizations behind the scenes.
00:38:24 So I know he has more common sense than to go on camera and act like he supports Karen Bass unless he actually was forced to.
00:38:32 There is no doubt in my mind that he was forced to make this endorsement in one way or another.
00:38:36 They have some kind of stronghold on him.
00:38:38 And I'm a firm believer, too, that you can tell a lot about a man by the way his children are.
00:38:43 And if you look at his son, his son EJ is seven feet tall, 300 pounds, dressed in a dress and looking a mess, looking chopped all the time.
00:38:53 I mean, the fashion would be great on a woman that wasn't, you know, seven feet tall, you know, a real actual woman.
00:38:59 But E.J. Johnson is a ginormous behemoth and is constantly saying that he is a better woman than any woman.
00:39:05 He was looking at the Met Gala dresses saying that he would have a better dress than any of the girls.
00:39:09 He's constantly belittling women and saying that he does a better job at being one than them.
00:39:13 It's like if you were doing a better job at being a woman than them, why are you a seven foot, seven feet tall, 300 pound man?
00:39:20 tell me they really are they're so regressive in the name of being progressive and they're so
00:39:28 misogynistic in the name of like feminism it really doesn't make sense and it shows you how
00:39:34 hypocritical their stances really are and i love a good conspiracy theory about magic johnson i'm
00:39:41 gonna look into that one i've been trying to be better about my routines lately especially sleep
00:39:47 and one thing I did not realize is what you sleep in actually matters to how
00:39:52 refreshed you feel in the morning and I will tell you my secret I started using
00:39:56 cozy earth and it's one of those things that you feel and you reap the benefits
00:40:00 of immediately their comforter is super lightweight but it still feels like
00:40:04 you're actually supported it's not too hot it's not too heavy which matters in
00:40:09 those summer months it is just really really comfortable and then their socks 0.95
00:40:13 it might sound stupid or it might sound pretty small but I'm telling you it's
00:40:17 that kind of detail that feels intentional that changes your entire day they are soft they are 0.90
00:40:22 breathable and they actually stay in place all day you can try it risk-free they have a 100 night
00:40:28 sleep trial plus a 10-year warranty which tells you a lot about how much they believe in their
00:40:33 product if you want to upgrade your sleep or honestly just feel a little more comfortable

00:43:03 you said for i think it was alex cooper that would work as well um katie porter
00:43:07 insane have you seen i guess they're trying to the new ad that she did because all of that that 1.00
00:43:17 the the horrible things uh really profane things came out about her leading up to her gubernatorial
00:43:24 i guess dropping her name in the hat uh the the people in the back of her shot well they're now
00:43:29 trying to make this this new commercial this new ad we're at the back at the end of the the
00:43:33 commercial she's laughing and she's like oh hey get out of my shot it's like ma'am you're not
00:43:39 funny all of your staff uh like alleges abuse against them okay so uh california is in deep 0.99
00:43:47 if she wins i believe she is so aggressive i'm actually terrified of that woman and it's like 0.99
00:43:54 do we even have to say alleged at this point we've seen her verbally abused at the very least 0.99
00:43:58 so much of her staff and for her to try to like downplay that as if that's not something to be
00:44:03 concerned about it's like you are completely emotionally driven and so unprofessional that
00:44:08 you're willing to just lash out at people like this it's like i genuinely feel like she would
00:44:12 just abuse her power the second that she gets in i'm all for a strong leader i don't need someone
00:44:16 that's going to be soft i don't need someone that's going to be you know cozy to everybody
00:44:20 around them i mean trump says some things that aren't the nicest about people it's like it's not
00:44:24 even about that it's more just about like who are you and your character and i feel like katie
