Great, great show. You should listen to the whole thing, but if you only have a few minutes here, let me give you the best of. I talk about Perez Hilton. I didn't talk about him yesterday because I didn't know exactly how to approach it and what to show and what not to show.
So I went back to history and I found the answer. What's happening with Perez Hilton is so disturbing and so sad. But we've been here before. I want to tell you and give you the historical pin on this one. It will change the way you look at exactly what is happening with Perez Hilton. Also, I spoke to Wade Miller. Wade, he's just written a great piece for the Center for Renewing America on the Red-Green Alliance.
This is what I put on the chalkboard in 2010, the Islamists and the Marxists and the Communists and the radicals will all gather together and work against Israel, the United States of America, capitalism, to destroy the Western way of life. It didn't have a name back then. It does now. It's called the Red-Green Alliance. And just yesterday, the Senate had a hearing on the effect of the Muslim Brotherhood on our politics in America. Muslim Brotherhood is really a nasty organization. And the DSA. You know how many Democrats showed up for that hearing?
None. None. You need to understand what Wade is saying. This is a civilizational killer. And you need to understand. And he has some things that you can do. The last thing is, well, I had Clay Travis on. Because Clay, who is the host of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show right after my show on the Premier Radio Network, he's come up with the most inclusive basketball team for the NBA. It's called the Nashville Balls. And it would finally be men breaking the glass ceiling for women. It's an all-trans woman. So if there were any way to put it, they're men, but they're calling them so. All-trans women, men, whatever.
The Nashville Balls. And we talked to him about that all up to today's podcast.

So it's Tuesday night, Miami, Perez Hilton. He's alone in his house. He's live on TikTok. I won't describe what happened next. Enough to say it's a horror show, an absolute horror show. He's cutting himself and it looks demonic. It really does. He's covered in blood. And thousands of people watched it happen. He's alive. It's been verified. It's not AI. It's not a trick. He's in the hospital, all kinds of lacerations. He's also undergoing psychiatric evaluation. His family put out a statement asking for privacy and thanking people for their prayers. His own manager said Wednesday, they still have not been able to reach him. Now, as I told you, for five months before Tuesday, this is the part that's worth your time. In March, he got the flu. He took his medication without food and it burned a hole in his stomach. Ulcer perforated, he went septic and spent 21 days in a hospital in Las Vegas and nearly died twice. He got a blood clot in his leg. Another procedure. So close to death twice. He came out of that and as I just played for he told the world God had presented himself to him. He was careful about the wording. He said it was not a feeling. He said he grew up Catholic, baptized, first communion, confirmed, seven years of Jesuit school. That's a problem. And then that he had never really been a believer until now. And he said God had been calling out to him for years and he no longer needed to hope. He said, I have it. And he said, I started to take my kids to church every single week. Then he posted a nine-minute video apologizing. This is a man who built his empire out of cruelty. He made his money for 20 years drawing on photographs of people's faces. And he said, my mistakes are public. The Internet is forever. Receipts are forever. I carry deep regret and shame. And then he publicly and privately apologized to dozens of people. And he said there were still people out there that wanted me to suffer and pay. And he said, that's valid. I earned those thoughts, but I forgive myself. In June, he said God told him to move to Miami and he took his three kids, all under 14, back to the city where he grew up. On July 22nd, on Instagram, he was grinning, reading Bible verses about the value of work, joking that scripture says work, work, work, but centuries before Rihanna said it, okay? Monday, he posted something else about stepping away from the spotlight and he closed it by wishing well to anyone out there who is hurting. Then Tuesday night comes, Miami Dade Sheriff's Office start getting calls. This is, this is, is this the case of illness? Let me make that case. Look at the load the man was carrying, septus that nearly killed him, three weeks in bed, emergency surgery, a clot, emergency surgery. A single father of three small children with no second parent in the house tore up his life in Las Vegas after three and a half years, moves across the country five weeks ago on camera, he tells his audience he's in a spiral, he's anxious, he's overwhelmed, he feels the devil is coming after him. The body does things to the mind, it does. Critical illness, septus, long ICU stays, they leave people in real cognitive and psychiatric damage and he shows up sometimes weeks or months later. At sleeplessness, a move, no support system, the man had just spent five months publicly excavating his 20 years of shame in front of his own audience.
