Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Thomas Massie Sex Hush Money Scandal & Kentucky GOP Primary

(Starts ~01:38)

• Election Backdrop:

  • Kentucky GOP primary pits incumbent Thomas Massie against APAC-backed Ed Gallerin (APAC pouring in $9 million).
  • Massie has lost favor with Trump circles, especially after advocating to release the Epstein files.

• Scandal Breakdown:

  • Cynthia West alleges Massie offered her $5,000 in "cow money" (untraceable cash from cattle sales) to “walk away” quietly from their past relationship (~04:52).
  • She also claims an NDA settlement for $60,000 was offered after she was allegedly fired from a Congressional job, supposedly orchestrated by Massie (~07:16).
  • Alex is skeptical, noting “scorned lover” vibes and political timing, dismissing the allegations as coordinated “nothingburger” to damage Massie before the primary.

• Memorable Quotes:

  • Alex Stein:
    "It seems like at one point, her and Thomas Massie did have some sort of fling... When you have a woman that’s been heartbroken, they will do anything to get back at their ex.” (06:21)
  • Cynthia West:
    “He said, you’re just one person, you can't make a difference... then he had $5,000 that he said that he would give me if I could just walk away. I didn't take it though.” (04:52)
  • Alex Stein:
    “If there was something there, I believe this would be a much bigger story. But sadly, since you have no evidence of Massie ever trying to do anything weird to you sexually, I think your case is dead on arrival.” (11:17)

• Alex’s Take:
  Massie targeted by establishment/globalists; scandal seen as a desperate, vague hit job with no substance. Supports Massie for his independence and willingness to challenge both political parties.

2. Gas Prices, Trump’s Gas Tax Plan, and Middle East War

(Starts ~12:42, main energy segment from 14:33 onward)

• Current State:

  • Alex shares personal pain and jokes: "I got a few honey dips and side pieces that I have to give gas to as well."

• Trump’s Gas Tax Promise:

  • Clip of Trump vowing to suspend the federal gas tax “as soon as this is over with Iran” (~17:14).
  • Alex remains doubtful:
    "In my experience dealing with the government, it's very rare for them to actually take away a tax... they always add to taxes.” (16:29)

• Broader Energy Strategy:

  • War’s goal: Control over the Strait of Hormuz, shift world dependence to U.S. energy.

  • Emphasizes China’s “silent war” tactics: real estate buying, surrogacy scams, fentanyl exports, and political manipulation.

• Notable Moments/Quotes:

  • Alex Stein:
    "If there's one Eileen Wang, that means there's probably 20 other Eileen Wangs running cities near you." (34:01) "Chinese women are horrible drivers. They do make good spies." (33:18)

Tone and Style

Alex Stein’s tone is brash, irreverent, and conspiratorial, mixing satire, rapid-fire rants, and culture-war talking points. He frequently ridicules establishment figures (“uniparty”), foreign threats, and the “radical left,” but also singles out Republicans for hypocrisy or failure to deliver.

“Reality is stranger than fiction. And we have cities like Arcadia, California, that are literally being run by spies. And we have congressmen… getting caught with their pants down with Chinese spies and giving away our most serious military secrets, all to get his rocks off and knock boots with a hot Chinese lady. It’s a scary reality, but once again, reality is stranger than fiction.” (36:45)

His approach is both populist and conspiratorial, serving up outrage, comedic exaggeration, and “just asking questions” moments.

---

Final Thoughts

• Major Themes:

  • Deep suspicion of establishment politics and foreign influence.
  • Frustration with both sides of the aisle—calls for holding one’s own side accountable.
  • Recurrent critique of social, political, and economic trends threatening "American values."
  • Plenty of tongue-in-cheek and intentionally inflammatory commentary balanced (occasionally) by humorous self-awareness.

• For Listeners:
  This episode is a whirlwind tour of this week’s culture wars, delivered in Alex Stein’s brash, comedic style: part political talk, part variety show, part conspiratorial analysis.

[After Hours Promo Voice]

Late night just got dangerous. After Hours with your host, Alec Stein starts right now.

[Alex Stein]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to After Hours with Alex Stein, right here on Real America's Voice. And tonight, we got a great episode for you. We got to talk about trans violence, we got to talk about these gas prices, and we got to talk about Chinese spies. But before we get into all of those juicy topics. Of course it is. Maybe. And right now, Kentucky is having their GOP primary, and you got one guy named Ed Gallerin who is facing off against the incumbent Thomas Massie in the great state of Kentucky. And the race has become very contentious. Ed has been funded by APAC to the tune of $9 million in this race. So, basically, Thomas Massie is fighting an uphill battle that is not guaranteed that he's going to win. I mean, if you look at Thomas Massie's resume and his history as a congressman, he has been universally beloved by his constituents in Kentucky. But over this past term and ever since his push to release the Epstein files, he has become Persona non grata to the Trump administration. And the reason why this should alarm all of us is that Most politicians in D.C. are part of what I call the uniparty. They act like it's right versus left, when in reality they're all behind closed doors doing handshake deals, figuring out which stock to buy and how they can pad their bank account the best. So when you have a maverick like Thomas Massie that is actually in charge of his district, that actually cares about the people of Kentucky and cares about Americans first, that scares the establishment. Because what is going on right now is that we have a large amount of special interest groups, foreign special interest groups, that want to dictate American policy and what we do all over the world instead of focusing on the problems we need to solve here in America. And Thomas Massie is one of the few politicians on Capitol Hill that actually wants to help Americans. And because of this, because the globalists have so much power and so much money fed through these special interest groups, they have to take him out. So I'm very worried because what just happened today, a woman by the name of Cynthia west has come out and said that she was basically offered $5,000 in cow money to be quiet about her relationship with Thomas Massie. It's a very odd thing for her to come out basically a few days before their primary. And it seems like this is a coordinated effort to make sure that Thomas Massie doesn't win his primary race. But to me, I'm just being honest. I'm trying to just be objective. It seems kind of like a nothing burger. Although there is evidence that he was trying to pay her off. But to me, sometimes you might pay off a disgruntled ex just because she could go and lie like she's doing right now. So let's play this clip of her talking about being offered $5,000 in untraceable cow money.

[Interviewer/Attorney]

In the course of filling out those documents, did you by any chance list Thomas Massie?

[Cynthia West]

I did, yes.

[Interviewer/Attorney]

How did he react to that?

[Cynthia West]

Well, out of courtesy, when I started the process, I called him up to let him know and he was very angry. And he said, you're just one person, that you can't make a difference, that you need to just walk away. And then he had $5,000 that he said that he would give me if I could just walk away. I didn't take it though.

[Interviewer/Attorney]

Did he offer you a check?

[Cynthia West]

No, it. He has cash.

[Alex Stein]

So.

[Cynthia West]

So it's part of his cow money, right? It's his non traceable money.

[Interviewer/Attorney]

Now wait a minute, you said it's part of his cow money?

[Cynthia West]

Yeah, because he, he's got cows. He sells cows and he gets cash.

[Alex Stein]

And. Now if you're Just watching this for the first time, this woman seems to be a little bit of an odd duck. And I don't know if it is because she's from Kentucky or if she's autistic. No disrespect to my friends in Kentucky. I spent a little time in Lexington this semester and had a great time. But there's just something so immature about this woman. And in this next clip, she's going to talk about how she was offered $60,000 to sign an NDA, which I'm starting to speculate from her interaction and the timing that she's doing this. It seems like at one point, and this is just how I interpret it, her and Thomas Massie did have some sort of fling. They had some sort of relationship. And it seems like Thomas Massie got her a job working for another congresswoman on Capitol Hill. And six weeks after she started that job, she ended up getting fired and filed complaints and started going after Thomas Massie. And then shortly after that, Thomas Massie met his current wife. That's when he started dating her. So to me, I'm getting scorned, jealous lover vibes from this woman. And when you have a woman that has been heartbroken, they will do anything to get back at their ex. And there's guys that'll do that too. But just, we live in this weird world where if somebody's going through pain, they want to drag other people with them. It's called Misery Loves Company. And this woman seems like the definition of that. So let's hear this clip talking about how she was offered $60,000 to sign a non disclosure agreement.

[Interviewer/Attorney]

You have an offer of What?

[Cynthia West]

Settlement for $60,000 to settle the case for the retaliatory discharge in the Congressional Accountability act violation with the office of Victoria Sparks. But if I do that, then I have to sign an NDA, and so I can't do that.

[Alex Stein]

Now, I know she can just say that she was forced to sign an NDA, but the attorney allegedly shows evidence that this is real. So I want to play this clip of the attorney saying that the non disclosure agreement is actually real.

[Interviewer/Attorney]

You're saying that you were offered $60,000 only if you remain silent about all this?

[Cynthia West]

Yes.

[Interviewer/Attorney]

Do you have any documents to demonstrate that?

[Cynthia West]

Yeah, I mean, it's right here.

[Alex Stein]

Oh, here's some paperwork. Here are the documents. I mean, like, like we know what's in those documents. And first of all, a lot of people that have employees that leave companies oftentimes make people sign NDAs. It's not just for Puff Daddy freak offs. It's for a lot of times, business dealings with people that don't want to have a disgruntled worker go out in the media and trash talk them. Like exactly what Cynthia west is doing now. I want to play this next clip. This is basically the lawyer saying that she's going on a huge leap of faith by coming out and speaking and trying to expose Thomas Massie that now she will not have any right or any ability to actually sign the NDA and get the $60,000. When in reality, if you actually ask her what happened with Thomas Massie, she's very vague. She says that he asked her to do some stuff that she was uncomfortable doing. She doesn't clarify if it was sexual. She doesn't clarify it was illegal. She doesn't really clarify what that is. Just that Thomas Massie asked her to do something that she's uncomfortable with. And guys, let's be real. I'm Primetime 99 Alex Stein. I mean, if every girl felt uncomfortable in some sort of relationship with me, then I would probably be exposed in every freaking election that I ever ran in. That's part of dating. Sometimes you ask your lover, hey, I'm into this, I'm into that. It doesn't mean that the person has to do it. But I bet he let his guard down. He probably told you his wildest fantasies. And I'm sure Thomas Massie is a freak. Who cares? He's allowed to be a freak. He's a red blooded American. Now the problem is, is that we have this MeToo movement where women constantly want to punish men for being men, which I think is absolutely ridiculous. So let's play this clip where the judge, excuse me, the attorney, tells his client, Cynthia west, that now that she's come out and trying to expose Thomas Massie, she will not be eligible for the $60,000 payment for her NDA signature.

[Interviewer/Attorney]

Have you any further contact with Thomas Massie other than what you've described?

[Cynthia West]

No, we haven't. We don't communicate anymore.

[Interviewer/Attorney]

Don't you think that today's testimony might cost you the $60,000?

[Cynthia West]

Oh, I know it will, but I mean, I've spent so much time fighting for transparency and justice, accountability that if, if I, if I did this, then I would call into question my own integrity. I wouldn't be able to sit with that. So I can't do it.

[Alex Stein]

So, Cynthia, this is my question. You want transparency with what? You haven't even told us what Thomas Massie did that made you so uncomfortable. You need to say what it was in nature. Was it sexual? Did he try to touch you when you didn't want to be touched? Did he physically assault you? I mean, you've been so vague. I don't think transparency is really what you want. I think you're trying to influence a political election to get back at your ex boyfriend. And that is why politics is such a nasty game. Because this is done in a coordinated effort to make sure that Thomas Massie loses his primary. Now, I'm a Thomas Massie supporter. I know he's lost a lot of support within the MAGA movement. But I can appreciate a guy that's willing to go against the system, that's willing to actually hold his own side accountable. And that's what separates conservatives from Democrats, is that Democrats will always go with the auto pin President Joe Biden, walking corpse and tell you that he's mentally fine. Well, as conservatives, we are different. We are willing to hold our own side accountable. And Thomas Massie is one of the few politicians that's willing to do this. So to me, this seems like a nothing burger. If there was something there, I believe that this would be a much bigger story. But sadly, since you have no evidence of Thomas Massie ever trying to do anything weird to you sexually, and I think your case is dead on arrival. So, Cynthia West, I hope you got what you wanted with this interview. I hope you got that $5,000 of cow money that Thomas Massie never gave you. And I hope that it was worth it. Because at the end of the day, nobody will ever remember who you are. Cynthia West. We will only remember who Thomas Massie is, and we will only remember the outcome of this election. So if you are able to try to stop Thomas Massie from winning his primary, then kudos. My hat's off to you. You guys win in the end. AIPAC probably paid you for that interview. But if Thomas Massie overcomes all of these obstacles, then he is truly the right man to represent the conservatives in the upcoming November election. All right, guys, coming up after the break, we're going to talk about these rising gas prices.

[Darnell]

Why are they so high?

[Alex Stein]

And what we can do, what can we do to make them go down a little bit so I can afford to fill up my Tahoe? That's coming up next after the break. Welcome back to After Hours with Alex Stein, right here on Real America's Voice. Now Everybody knows I'm Primetime 99, Alex Stein. I am a pimp on a blimp. I got money in the bank. Shorty, what you drank. But even I, Primetime 99, Alex Stein, is still negatively impacted when the price of gas is sky high. You might ask yourself why, Alex, you only have one. Well, I mean, I have multiple cars, but you only drive one car at a time. Can't be that much. Well, I have three ex wives, okay? And they have a bunch of kids. I'm not the father of those kids, but they got to drive them to soccer practice. They got to drive them all over the country. And on top of that, my housekeeper Juanita and then all of her cousins use a gas card that I provide to her. And then, you know, I got a few honey dips and side pieces that I have to give gas to as well. So every time that the dollar of a gallon or a barrel of gas goes up, it is causing me a lot of pain. And I want to play this clip of me at the gas pump just filling up my Tahoe so you can see the pain that Primetime 99, Alextein and the rest of America is going through. Room, dude, that has to be a joke. $82. I went inside and left it pumping. $82. 82 bucks is a lot. I'm in Dallas. We're supposed to have cheap gas.

[Darnell]

All right?

[Alex Stein]

We're not too far from Houston. We have a bunch of oil refineries in Midland, all over Texas. I mean, we're basically energy independent ourselves. And the fact that I'm going to the pump and having to pay 80 bucks just to put in 20 gallons, it makes me sick and it makes my wallet thin. I don't like that. Now I know right now it's short term pain for long term gain. That's what they tell you on Fox News. That's what they tell you on Facebook. But let me just tell you this much. I voted for Donald Trump because I didn't want to continue to pay the high gas prices that we were paying under Joe Biden. It was actually one of the most important things and near and dearest things to my heart because I have so many obligations when it comes to gas and, you know, supporting a lot of different people. So, Donald Trump, I was expecting cheap gas. I thought you were gonna put in the Keystone pipeline and this pipeline and that pipeline. I thought we were basically gonna have this stuff for free. Well, it seems like that's not the case now. I wanna play this report from CBS News that the forecasts aren't looking great when it comes to the price of energy here in America.

[News Reporter/Legal Analyst]

With no agreement in sight, though, the price of Gas, it's still high. You know it, we know it. No end in sight right now with all of this going on. According to aaa, let me show you here, the average for a gallon of regular unle Texas stands at $4.03. Prices vary, as we know, kind of across the state, but in North Texas, they're fairly consistent. When we look average in Dallas right now, $4.06 a gallon. In Fort Worth, just 30 miles away, drivers are paying almost the same, about an average of $4.10 a gallon.

[Alex Stein]

The reason I'm frustrated is because I specifically voted for Donald Trump so we could have $2 gas. I still remember when gas was less than a dollar when I first got my license. And believe it or not, that long ago, about 20 years, but maybe a little longer. My point is this. I love Donald Trump. And it seems like Donald Trump does want to help the American people because he's saying that once he gets everything straight with Iran, he's going to remove the federal gas tax, which sounds good, I like it. But right now, those are just words. And I know in my experience dealing with the government, it's very rare of the government to actually take away a tax. They always add to taxes. Very rarely, basically never do they actually lower taxes or take a tax off. So let's play this clip of Donald Trump saying he wants to get rid of the federal gas tax. Are you going to suspend the federal gas tax? Yeah, I'm going to reduce until the. Let me tell you, as soon as this is over with Iran, as soon

[News Reporter Kevin Ozebeck]

as it's over, you're going to see

[Alex Stein]

gasoline and oil drop like a rock. Going to be dropping down like a rock. I do believe the gas prices will go down. But if you really look at this whole entire situation, a Strait of Hormuz was open before we started bombing Iran. And now basically our main objective is to reopen the strait. So it seems like this was a big waste of time. Now, I know they're going to scare you and say, well, they had enriched uranium. They're two weeks away from getting a nuclear weapon. But we did Operation Midnight Hammer in June, and we allegedly took out all of their nuclear stockpiles. So what is the truth? That's the problem when it comes to war is that the government has classified levels of information and they're not obligated to tell us the truth. And it seems like, no offense to Trump, love Donald Trump, but it seems like right now we're fighting for our life to get back to where we started. And overall, that doesn't seem like a win. Yes, I know the world, we feel a little safer. But even if Iran did get a nuclear weapon, they're probably going to bomb Israel first. They're probably going to hit Europe first. They don't even have a mechanism to actually get that nuclear warhead all the way from Iran to America. So they don't even have a transportation method for it. So I think we had a little longer than two weeks. But unfortunately, we had a lot of our allies, Saudi Arabia and Israel, influence Donald Trump in his starting point, this war. And I know that I support the president, but I am anti war. I feel like if you look at our past history, when it came to our war on terror in the Middle east, that ended up being a huge disaster. It took 20 years to replace the Taliban with the Taliban, and it took two weeks to replace Kimani with baby Kimani. So I just don't know where we are winning on any metric whatsoever. Maybe the metric that we've seriously depleted their military, but we haven't depleted it entirely. They still do have some weapons. They still do have the ability to protect the Strait of Hormuz and, you know, send bombs to Indian oil tankers and potentially send bombs to our oil tankers. So it's not like they're 100% devastated. And to be honest, I've talked to a lot of Persians people in Iran, and they're happy that we're fighting this war. There is a lot of people in Iran that are actually happy that the Ayatollah potentially could get replaced. But until they rise up, until the people of Iran take accountability and handle this themselves, they this is going to go on forever because America is in a tough situation where Donald Trump doesn't want to put boots on the ground because he said we're not going to put boots on the ground. And Donald Trump doesn't want to look like a liar. At least he doesn't want to look like a guy that looks weak. And now he's forced to talk about how we had such great air control, but now we got to put boots on the ground. It just doesn't look like this war is going in our favor. So to me, I'm a little worried. Now. I want to play this clip from the Energy Secretary explaining how the increasing domestic refinery capacity will be better in the long term. And if this is the case, if Donald Trump Truly is playing 5D chess, and him starting this war is going to cause Asia and all of our European allies to be forced to get their energy from America, then that will be beneficial overall. But as of right now, gas is through the roof and we're on the precipice of a global recession. So unless we really flip the script pretty soon, I think things can get pretty bleak. So let's hear the energy secretary talking

[After Hours Promo Voice]

about this with perhaps some incentive for refiners. Let's take away the renewable fuel standard nationwide and allow them to produce one gasoline for one country that will increase their output dramatically. So you get a tax cut at the pump and you get increased supply in the marketplace at the gate.

[Alex Stein]

In theory, that sounds good. And if that'll put more money in Americans wallets, then I'm all for it. I'm sick and tired of being screwed over and all these trade deals where for some reason we are the one left holding the bag. And every single business dealing that we do on the international stage when we are the big bad bully. If anybody's going to be the bully, we should be the bully. We should be the ones calling the shots. We should be the ones that are actually benefiting from the energy crisis that the world is facing, that they should have to be reliant on American gas and American petroleum. But right now I'm seeing people that are still skeptical of all of these countries getting in line and coming up to America with their wallets out, ready to buy American energy. Because let's just face it now, a lot of the other countries around the globe are mad at America and they might want to punish us because we are indirectly punishing them by cutting off their supply to a large portion of their energy that they need because of the Strait of Hormuz and just all of the bombing to the refineries in the Middle east that we've caused over the last three months. So if we break all this down, how do we solve this? Donald Trump will tell you. Well, it's just going to take a little time. It's just going to take a little time. But when this excursion started, it was just like Covid. Two weeks to stop the spread, two weeks to get nuclear weapons out of Iran. And now it looks like that was a lie. So please, I implore anybody that has any power in the administration. I know you guys are worried, but trust me, American taxpayers are much more worried because people are suffering right now. We have an affordability crisis. People can't go take their family out to eat dinner. People can't even go on Spirit Airlines anymore.

[Darnell]

And I love Spirit Airlines. And because of all this energy crap, that's the reason Spirit Went out of business.

[Alex Stein]

Yes, they were on life support. Yes. They weren't doing that good before all of this energy nonsense. But that was the final nail in the coffin. And as one of Spirit Airlines number one customers, I'm absolutely sick. And you say, alex, why do you care so much about a budget airline with only 19 inch seats? And it's so uncomfortable. Well, you know what? At least Spirit made the other airlines competitive. They had to lower their prices to try to compete with Spirit. And now that we don't have a true budget airline like Spirit Airlines, then now all of the other airline companies can price gouge us. So we needed you, Spirit Airlines. We needed that cheap option. And because of this war, because of these gas prices, I can't fly on spirit and pay $18 for a coca Cola. But I'm not the only one frustrated. I want to play. This is some famous streamers. Really getting upset about the price of gas. And these guys are millionaires. This is a message to that lady. Cut us off Iron. You ready? Yeah. Irene, please fix a gas price, because this is highway robbery. This is crazy. So, Iran, please surrender. For the love of God, just surrender. We can be friends. I know you guys can send, like a million refugees over here. The Democrats will love it. They'll give them citizenship and let them vote in our elections and basically ruin our entire country and any future that we ever had for the conservative movement. If that is what it takes to get these gas prices down, then I'm all for it. Because I'm sick and tired of millionaires like those streamers and thousandaires like primetime Alex Stein struggling to fill up their gas tank. And for what? To reopen a straight that was open before the war started. And I'm sorry if I'm being too critical, but I'm just trying to be real with you because I'm sick and tired of trying to, you know, sugarcoat the truth. Times are tough. We need Donald Trump to make those times easier. And guess what? I've. I've. I have faith in the man. I have faith in the president. So Donald Trump, don't let me down. Don't let us down. All right, guys, coming up after the break, a Chinese spy was a mayor of a major city, and they just got indicted. Federally found guilty. So we got Chinese spies everywhere. That's coming up after the break.

[Darnell]

Foreign.

[Alex Stein]

You're watching After Hours with Alex Stein right here on Real America's Voice. And we got to talk about what's going on in Arcadia, California. That's right. The Mayor of Arcadia, California, Eileen Wang. This sounds like a fake story, but there's nothing fake about it. Was just convicted as working as an illegal agent for the People's Republic of China. Federal prosecutors say she edited and promoted PRC aligned messaging on WeChat, and it is a felony that carries up to 10 years. Now, the reason why this is a big deal because how many other small towns have been basically infiltrated by Chinese spies? And maybe not just spies from China. Maybe Somalia spies, maybe Mexican spies, maybe Israeli spies, maybe Middle Eastern spies, maybe Afghanistan spies. I don't know how many spies are in America. But we do know that spies are real. And we do know that Eileen Wang was working for the People's Republican of China while being in charge of an entire city. This should scare everybody. And really, I think what we should be doing is we should be revolting. We should be very pissed off. And 10 years in federal prison, I think that that is a slap on the wrist. Now, I don't know exactly what she did for the People's Republic of China, but I do know that she cares more about China than she does about her constituents in Arcadia, California. And that's the problem, is that I was talking about it in the first segment, is that we have a globalism problem. Everybody in every other country wants to come to America and turn America into the crappy shite hole that they came from. And I am not okay with that because America was once a great country, and now we have Chinese spies that are basically running huge cities like Arcadia, California. Now, let's play this clip about Eileen Wang being caught being a spy. Breaking news. The mayor of Arcadia has agreed to plead guilty to being a foreign agent spreading Chinese propaganda. And for more on the charge against Eileen Wang, we are joined now by Kevin Ozebeck.

[News Reporter Kevin Ozebeck]

Well, David, and Jovanda. Federal investigators say instead of acting in the best interest of the people who elected her, Arcadia Mayor, Eileen Wang acted in the interests of the Chinese Communist Party. Mayor Wang, seen here in campaign video she posted online, has accepted a plea deal that could see her spend up to 10 years behind bars. Federal prosecutors say the mayor and a then fiance were posting Chinese Communist Party propaganda on a website called U.S. news Center.

[Alex Stein]

Now, Eileen Wang was the mayor, had an election and won, was voted in. But her main goal when she was in charge of the city of Arcadia was to spread propaganda for the People's Republic of China. And everybody gets mad at conservatives because they say, oh, well, you guys are racist. You guys believe in the white replacement theory. Well, guess what? Maybe Our conspiracy is coming true when you have China manipulating candidates and giving them money so that they can go become mayors, cities in America. And just like that Ho said, just like I said at the beginning of this thing, she cares more about China than she does America. So she's going to purposely do things that hurt our people, our brothers and sisters, our soldiers that live in Arcadia. She doesn't care. She wants him to have a horrible life because she wants to make China stronger. And China constantly screws over America. They have all these surrogacy scams where one Chinese guy will get 30 surrogates pregnant in California so he can have 30 anchor babies. And on top of that, China is buying up all of our farmland. They're buying tons of real estate in New York City because they're coming at us in a way that is much different than the way that America attacks other countries. See, we have a incredible military. So when you're a hammer like the United States military, that means every problem is a nail. So we like to go in guns, a blazing, bombs dropping, sending a message. Well, not China. China does everything subversively. They put spies into political positions so that they have power, you know, surreptitiously within our own government. And then what else does China do? They ship massive amounts of fentanyl to the southern border and sneak it through into America, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans every single year. Year. So China doesn't like to start a war. I don't believe they've started a war in over 60 years. But they fight dirty. They fight like a spy would fight. They get politicians elected that put in policies that only benefit the people of China and hurt American citizens. So if it's having surrogate anchor babies, if it's selling fentanyl, if it's stealing all of our military secrets, trust me, China knows how to do it without causing a war or dropping a bomb. And that's how we should be very worried about China because truly they are our biggest threat. Now I want to play this clip of the legal analyst breaking down Eileen Wang's charges.

[News Reporter/Legal Analyst]

The key here is her failure to disclose her connection with the government of China. The allegation is that she was really acting at their direction. She was their agent. And whether she's stealing nuclear secrets or just posting editorials that were pro China, the fact is, without registering as an agent, she's breaking federal law.

[Alex Stein]

Now, Eileen Wang was pressed outside of the courtroom and of course she just gave a non answer. And you can tell that she's been trained by the most elite Chinese secret military or their version of the CIA because she's cold blooded. Let's play this clip of her walking past News Anchorage. The mayor was very surprised to see us this evening, to say the least. And she clearly didn't want to talk with us. Take a Look. Excuse me, Ms. Bowen, can we speak with you about these allegations? That's the former mayor today outside her home, refusing to answer our questions. After about 20 seconds, she rolls up the window and drives off. Now, my advice for that reporter is get away. A Chinese woman behind the wheel of a car is a deadly combination. So anybody that sees Eileen Wang, do not follow her in your car. Because you're destined to get in a serious major car accident. Chinese women are horrible drivers. They do make good spies. We know that Eric Swalwell, who was scammed by Fang Fang, who got a lot of military secrets from a sitting congressman who had to actually resign in shame because he ended up being such a sex pest. But that is what these Chinese spies do. They find vulnerable politicians, they find vulnerable elections, and they exploit that for their own gain. And that's why we should be worried. Because they got hot Chinese babes getting butt naked, stealing all of our nuclear secrets to try to win a cold war against America. And we should all be worried because if there's one Eileen Wang, that means there's probably 20 other Eileen Wangs that are running cities near you. And that doesn't mean that we should just go get mad at every Chinese politician. We're not totally crazy, but we might want to actually start asking some questions. Holding our politicians accountable and not just going on with the status quo as if everything is hunky dory. When it's not, things are tough. And we got Chinese spies running for mayor and winning elections right in California, which is once a great state, but sadly, it has fallen into basically disrepair. If you just want my opinion on it. So I want to play this clip of primetime Alex Stein confronting Eric Swalwell. For him getting busy with a Chinese spy. Is this Fang Bang, the Chinese spy? Eric? Remember when you slept with that Chinese spy, Eric? Why don't you ever talk about that Fang Fang. Remember, you're banging Fang Fang. Did she give you anal? People are saying that she gave you an insertion. Is that true?

[Darnell]

This is.

[Alex Stein]

The guy's banging Chinese spies. Nobody investigates you, Eric. Why is that?

[Darnell]

Nobody investigates this guy banging Chinese spies

[Alex Stein]

like it's no big deal. Now, whether it's Eric Swalwell or whether it's the mayor of California, Arcadia, specifically We don't know who we're dealing with. Everybody has secrets or skeletons in that closet. And if you're a Chinese hacker or a Chinese honeypot, you can figure out our deepest, darkest secrets. So everybody, we need to have our antennas up. We need to expose more fraud like this. Even if Eileen Wang does a whole 10 years, it's not going to be worth it, because we need to scare other spies from coming to our country and running and winning elections. You look at Ilan Omar, she cares way more about Somali interests, and she does American interests. There's a lot of politicians on. On Capitol Hill that care more about the country that they came from than the country that they live in. And that's just a cold, hard fact. And that's why the left is so repugnant. Because they want to turn America into a one world order, a one world government. And we have to stand against that American exceptionalism. And the reason America is exceptional is because we are independent. We are not a global, socialistic, communistic, utopia wannabe hellhole like the rest of the world. We are a capitalist country that used to have some decent values, but it is still a country that if you work hard and you actually have some focus and you have some drive, you're almost guaranteed to be successful. So much so that Chinese women can come over here and become mayor of Arcadia, California. You probably thought, you look in the mirror, I'm not smart enough to be a politician. I can't work that job. I shouldn't apply for that thing. Well, guess what? China is sending over spies every single day to knock your head off, to take your job. So we have to metaphorically fight back by being unapologetically American so that they, when they come here, when they come to America, they realize they don't want to mess with it. They don't want the smoke. They don't want that Tex Mex food. They don't want that American barbecue. They can't handle our seasoning and stuff. Spice. And that's how it should be. And we want to send them home on the first Spirit Airlines repurposed jet that is owned by Air China. Inevitably owned by Air China. So we got to stop the spies. We have to bring back Americans that actually want to serve Americans and not Chinese people, that want to serve the Chinese People's Republic of China while being an American politician. It's just unbelievable. I say it all the time on this show. Reality is stranger than fiction. And we have cities like Arcadia, California, that are literally being run by spies. And we have congressmen that are getting caught with their pants down with Chinese spies and giving away some of our most serious military secrets, all to get his rocks off and knock boots with a hot Chinese lady. It's a scary reality, but once again, reality is stranger than fiction. All right, guys, coming up next, we're going to talk about the transgender violence problem that's happening in our country and how can we stop it? That's next.

[Darnell]

You claim that I don't insane put a bullet in.

[Alex Stein]

Thank you guys so much for staying up late. You're watching after hours on Real America's Voice. And I know you always ask this every episode. Alex, how do you have so much energy?

And part of the proceeds goes to actually help our military veterans. So it's a good company that's actually helping Americans not just on the battlefield, but off the battlefield. Love that. All right, guys, now we got to talk about Primetime 99. You know, I had a great, great semester speaking to a lot of young individuals on college campuses all across the United States for Turning Point usa. I'm actually kind of sad that the semester is over because this is. It's one of my favorite things to do. And you're like, alec, why do you like to do that? So much yelling and screaming with college kids, doesn't that get tiring? Well, it is tiring, but it's cool to see the college campuses, and it's cool to actually talk to young people and see what's on their mind because they are the best litmus test to kind of understand what's going on in the world, because college kids can tune out or tune in to what is actually popular, not just amongst their peers, but what is really cool. What's hip. That sounds kind of weird, but I mean, let's just be real I'm starting to be the unk in the room. So I need to go to these college campuses so I know what the kids are interested in. But oftentimes I go on these campuses and sometimes the kids are very triggered that I'm on campus. They can't even even have a conversation with me whatsoever. And I feel like that's the opposite of what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to go on these campuses and I'm trying to have a spirited debate or dialogue so that we can find some sort of middle ground. Now this clip is starting to go viral on Instagram and Twitter all because this guy doesn't want to find any middle ground. All he wants to do is name call and just go after me and a bunch of ad hominem attacks. And there are quote unquote debate. But the reason that I want to play this clip is because I think the ending is the most important part. You'll see at the end of this very contentious debate, you'll see that we dap each other up and we say, hey, we're friends. So for the people that might be triggered by some of the language that we're using with each other, remember, this is all in fun and games and sometimes with different cultures, you have to speak to them different to kind of get on their level. So I know that this clip might be shocking for some, but I think it's important that we all see that even if we can't communicate with somebody, even if we can't understand the words that they're saying, we can all find some middle ground in the end. Even after saying some of the most heinous and disgusting and rude things you can say to another person. Let's play the clip. I don't even want to debate with your ass. I just want to check your ass. On God. Like, what's up my retired airplane driver looking ass? My dumpster juice cologne wearing ass, man.

[Darnell]

I'm finna check your ass too. You're trying to check me?

[Alex Stein]

Dude, look how ratchet you look.

[Darnell]

You can't even grow. Dude, you're the most ratchet here. Dude, you're the most ratchet guy here. Your looks nappy as hell. I know you're ashy as hell too. I know you're ashy. I know you're ashy. I know you got a bigger nose than me. Look at your nose. You got Michael Irving nose.

[Alex Stein]

I know how to nose Michael Herbal Tiger.

[Darnell]

My daddy look nasty. Dude, you got the biggest nose in this whole place. And I Like cheeseburgers? You like cheeseburgers, too?

[Alex Stein]

Hamburgers for all. Maybe if we could understand what you're saying, they would laugh more, but

[Darnell]

I would be the sexiest men on this campus right now. This place, old as hell. Ugly. Look at you. Look at your mustache. You could even grow a mustache. You got that?

[Alex Stein]

Where'd you get that?

[Darnell]

Which food bank did they give you that? Well, say potato face. Ass.

[Alex Stein]

And what. And what do you look like?

[Darnell]

Ugly. You know, I'm a sexy man.

[Alex Stein]

I'm considered one of the sexiest men in conservative politics.

[Darnell]

See, this is what black. This is what a black guy does.

[Alex Stein]

He can't have an.

[Darnell]

He's got to come here.

[Alex Stein]

I know.

[Darnell]

I'm just saying people say way more racist other than me, but you're just crashing out. I know. Now you're making fun of black people. You're the racist. It's not racist. Ugly. Okay, you keep calling me ugly. You got stains on your shirt.

[Alex Stein]

You got those. Criminal.

[Darnell]

Air Force. Those are probably. Yeah. You even play football. Quit talking about people's noses.

[Alex Stein]

Listen, I love it. I just wish I could understand anything you're saying. I wish you could speak English.

[Darnell]

You can check me.

[Alex Stein]

It's all love. It's all love. It's all good. It's all good. You notice how we finished that whole interaction? We're dapping each other up. We're friends. But I couldn't understand one of his insults, except for I think potato face. And you know what? That's a pretty good insult because I like a lot of French fries. I do have a head that's shaped similar to Mr. Potato. So I think that was actually a pretty good dig. But the reason that I want to also play that clip is that we have. Oh, look at my mission. Potato Head activated. Let's see if we can activate Mr. Potato Head.

[Darnell]

Look at this Mr. Potato Head. He's right about that.

[Alex Stein]

So, Darnell, I just want to say I'm so excited that you actually came up to the mic. I know that I couldn't understand one word that you said, but if you guys enjoyed that spirited debate, we're going to have that episode for you guys this Friday. The entire hour long debate uncensored, right here on Real America's Voice. And you can actually see some other people get really mad. They even get more mad at the potato brain. So trust me, you guys do not want to miss that. Now, we got to talk about something that is definitely related to what we just showed. Political violence is at an all time high right now, not just with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, but you saw Savannah Hernandez was brutally assaulted at a protest. I've been assaulted at a protest. Not trying to make it about myself, but I'm just saying from my personal experience, the left always seems to want to be violent because they don't want to actually have any dialogue. They don't want to have a conversation. When they run out of words, they use their fists. Now, this is a very scary, deranged, mentally ill woman calling for the assassination of Donald Trump. And not only does she want to kill Donald Trump, she also wants to take out Donald Trump's immediate family, his son Barron, specifically. Let's play this clip.

[Threatening Woman]

Children of the road, I have ordered you to speak the truth. It is time for the whistle bill blowers to start whistling and screaming the truth. Mr. Trump, I will assassinate you. We're at peace. Get ready, Mr. Trump. Every day you play this game, I will eliminate one of your family members. That will be a proven fact. Last warning, Trump Baron will be executed. For every day you play the scam, I will eliminate one of your family. And that is the truth.

[Alex Stein]

I mean, the FBI better be on there. Cash Patel better be knocking on her door tonight. And that woman looks like a wicked, wicked witch and she's probably using Santeria and cursing us. So I know that we all want to laugh and be like, oh, that's just some toothless crackhead. Could be more than that. She could be an actual witch and is using some sort of supernatural power to take out the president. So it seems like it's all fun and games, but to me, it's pretty nasty. Now, guys, I'm Primetime 99 Alex. I'm. I love to go to the club, I love to go to music festivals. But this clip is going viral because this person is one of the biggest losers I've ever seen. At the Rolling Loud festival this weekend, a guy is going viral for throwing a trash can into a crowd of people. Let's play the clip. This is why we definitely need stronger immigration laws, because when kids are on fentanyl, they think it's a good idea to throw a 30 pound plastic trash can into a group of people. Now, luckily, nobody was seriously injured. I think one person did have to go to the hospital, but it was because they were overdosing on Molly. So it was the ecstasy, it wasn't the trash can. Thankfully, the guy that threw it is not in any legal trouble, but he should be socially shamed for that sort of immature behavior. And if you're at the festival. I'm there to vibe, not get hit with a trash can. All right, guys, we got a great event coming up this Memorial Day Prime Time 99. Alex Stein and the rest of the RAV crew will be in Dallas, Texas for the Celebrate Freedom event right here at Marty B's in the Metroplex. Let's play the promo.
