ELIJAH SCHAFFER (HOST): It seems like, you know, we've always wanted the Iran war. They've been wanting this for a long time. Like, Buchanan warned us. They're going to get boots on the ground in Iran.

Is he controlling immigration? I thought that he wasn't doing such a good job at that either. And so it's like, the copium is heavy and the copium wars are very powerful, and we're losing a lot of brothers.
…
You have the copium, and all these MAGA-tards are coming out. And, like, this switched me, man. I'm going to admit this, and I'm -- I have a hard head, and you and I have beefed publicly. We beefed on shows. We've had, you know, we've had our bouts there. I was wrong telling my audience to vote for Trump. OK?
NICK FUENTES (GUEST): Thank you.
ELIJAH SCHAFFER: I was wrong.
FUENTES: Thank you, thank you. I appreciate it.
SCHAFFER: I was wrong. So it was incorrect position. I think the position was not to vote. I didn't want to vote for Kamala, but I genuinely, I still only voted for him. I would have voted for him. I'm going to say this. I still would have voted for him because I was getting my employee, Michael Hennessey, out of a five-year prison sentence for the J6 stuff, and I was trying to get my wiretapping investigation dropped.
