04:53:23.600i made oh wait what that was all right wait sorry that was our it was our mod um yeah i uh
04:53:37.800i a lot of bad moves in terms of media um over the years but like i've stayed in it uh bad moves
04:53:52.800in terms of like i kind of like i always knew i'm in my it's like just personal life decisions
04:53:57.860trying to like kids like you know two parents or whatever a lot of decisions over the years to
04:54:04.260kind of um my family together a lot of like five years a lot of them like i knew they were bad
04:54:12.420like and so then but not they were bad i survived i did recently well it was like
04:54:18.580i wanted to stay closer to media but i had like pivots you know where it was like um
04:54:25.780like a bad pivot i think i made as well it was like
04:54:28.740i uh i knew it was a bad pivot uh back in like 2019
04:54:35.700i was able to massacre 100 000 subscribers or 200 000 subscribers in a year and i remember uh
04:54:42.820i remember like yeah a lot of these people were there and we and i wasn't like i just didn't like
04:54:48.800i was kind of like i always tell myself a centrist i'm just kind of pretty extreme in my views but
04:54:54.300kind of like well i think you can get better with more fun content i don't want to get in the bitter
04:54:58.080fights like i think it's all entertainment anyways and it's just annoying um yeah and
04:55:03.660something happened out of a really lucrative like sunglass sponsorship of a big company in
04:55:07.360l.a that i really like this day by the sunglass in the bunch and i remember like that's the day
04:55:14.720i knew someone was like ah i'm taking like two ideologically i did a video of those i hit up
04:55:20.760my blaze and then sell it out of like an association with blaze and then they cut me off and i was
04:55:24.560now so some of these guys i think are smarter because uh that whole like everything i feel
04:55:30.980like i sacrificed both the family and to remain close to the republican party uh i'm not gonna
04:55:37.160say anything was a waste on a public platform because i don't really know long term what they
04:55:40.340were i don't really think that my life as a waste i think ultimately i have two kids because of that
04:55:46.820which i love and then also who knows what the political connections would bring in long term
04:55:51.760so i it's been a pretty good life but people like him he lives in a shack or smarter and
04:55:58.560i always look at those people even hassan is a smarter person that's when
04:56:03.380podcaster smarter it was smarter i remember that that transition streaming and i just
04:56:09.020went the other way and it was not a good decision yeah look you know that i have i've known of you
04:56:15.940for a couple years but i don't really know your your whole past and your your whole career
04:56:21.420But if Asmongold can get lucrative sponsorship deals with everything that he's done and the general consensus that he's, like, this terrible person, I don't understand why you can't get sponsorships.
04:56:40.980No, I do. I do. I have a different problem than I can tell you off air. I do.
04:56:45.000Yeah. But like the best content you've done recently was when you went to the to the the courthouse when, you know, that black kid killed the white kid and you had your your chimping out girlfriend say that thing that she said.0.95
04:57:03.260and you got like hundreds and hundreds of thousands of views on that video and that yeah and so look0.50
04:57:11.640there's a lot of people who have commented to me that they miss the old elijah that that that
04:57:19.740your content used to be political like you said and now and and maybe a lot of this 48 hour stream
04:57:30.700and and understandably has has changed to wife and kids
04:57:36.780and it's become like a divorce stream episodes but what's what i'm learning that's what the
04:57:45.440episodes are but why don't you why don't you so why don't you get back into the political
04:57:50.480stuff i know you went to the rnc you told me you got kicked out or you weren't allowed in
04:57:56.980but i'm gonna be at mar-a-lago i gotta go to uh rnc kind of go to some important mar-a-lago
04:58:06.780where i'm gonna meet some people and then uh yeah i'm gonna also uh marco well i'm not saying
04:58:14.680just anyways there's circles that uh have called me to go meet up in new york and go they're
04:58:21.660interested i'm gonna go back i think into i'm gonna say it here but i have an idea what happened
04:58:28.520actually isn't my own like um i talked about it last night actually i was like i showed i showed
04:58:36.020them this whole polymarket thing there was this web that got they're trying to it's bad a lot of
04:58:43.380people are gonna go down i'm out i'm i'm i'm i'm washing my hands but um because i lived in australia
04:58:49.640you watch it if you find the part where it's about polymarket look for the hour
04:58:53.360segment so you don't search for it but uh i really explained it in detail it was like
04:58:58.720i um and i and these people there's basically uh through polymarket and calci it's like created a
04:59:06.560new funnel for a power disposition and we're talking about billions of dollars where calci
04:59:11.340took their and polymarket took theirs and um it started because i i went to the rnc
04:59:22.260i got invited to the rnc to the 24 and that was a very exclusive invite um but i was also a very
04:59:32.180still very credentialed reporter and i was a very good uh hire at a very large publication still so
04:59:37.980I still worked in the establishment, very establishment.
04:59:41.240Just don't know, because even the big articles from that event,
05:21:05.360I have so much, when I say I have so much stuff going behind the scenes, it's like I can't be clear politically because sometimes politics requires you to associate with people that may not be people you love and perhaps don't like.
05:21:32.360and i just mean russia and world war ii kind of switching that happens and we're going through
05:21:41.700something kind of beyond partisanship and not kind of beyond partisanship and i'm aware and
05:21:49.000people are aware i'm not like the only this is everyone's aware of this this is like exclusive
05:21:53.460it's like what's going on it's getting dirty it's getting down to a lot and rift was taken
05:21:59.500out as part of that and i know oh you blame the personal problems on these groups or this oh no
05:22:06.300no no no no no i just everyone's got personal problems exploited so just like used to after
05:22:16.060they did the damage this and then basically make it so that so caught up here it's like hey they're
05:22:26.380trying to isolate because i had a recovery plan but i think i've recouped i'm like not recoup but
05:22:31.260i'm recouping i just on the outside you won't you couldn't know what i'm doing how i'm doing
05:22:38.380i'm not gonna say it here either i'm just like i'm and if i if i was really clear what i was saying
05:22:43.660on certain things not only would it not be helpful to the public because none of these people are
05:22:50.540loyal or long term but it's like it's hard for me to actually know who's being honest it's like
05:52:45.980So do I take it as a cautionary risk and move more calculated or do I have to expect to just get fired from places and just keep doing good work and expect the work will carry the load? I don't know. I just don't want to go. I really have kids. I really don't want to go to prison. And it's not that I'm like trying to not do anything good. I just.
05:53:05.280i'm not gonna like do anything say anything to like i've yeah i have not compromised my value
05:53:15.720set yet and i've lost a lot of money for it i have made compromises that's true
05:53:21.940but i didn't do anything i violated my conscience and professionally or like ethically and so they've
05:53:30.640never been able to pop it and i like to keep that but it's like it's like nick you know he's
05:53:37.440navigated very well uh fuentes we'll see if nick surely navigates it but like uh you know nick
05:53:44.000fuentes could be 10 000 times bigger you know he's like people always say that do you do rallies and
05:53:48.960things and he just look at what happened to charlie like you're right i could create a
05:53:53.120political movement and move but they'll probably kill me you're probably correct me so i guess
05:53:58.800It's just like, uh, you know, it's, it's very interesting because, you know, I, yeah, it's just like, I kind of just, yeah, it's like, I kind of live my whole life just kind of doing this.
