Featured on Feb 5, 2026 by Null: Elijah Schaffer has lost his mind.
Elijah Schaffer is an American political commenter and former reporter whose career has been defined not by his journalistic ethos, but rather by his abrasive personality, hypersexuality, and substance-induced misbehavior. While outwardly pretending to be a totally heterosexual, trad-ish guy, Schaffer is anything but, and his life has come crashing down in early 2026 after his wife left him and took the kids. What was the straw that broke the camel's back? Was it the affair with his younger employee? Was it the drunken behavior and reported drug use, which had already cost him his show at Glenn Beck's BlazeTV? Was it his obsession with bottoming? We don't know yet, but at the rate new revelations are coming to light, we'll surely find out soon.
"Once you cum, you come to your senses."
During his nearly decade-long career in the right-wing influencer sphere, Schaffer has
Elijah's Beginnings
Elijah Schaffer was born to Moreso and Maureen Schaffer on April 15, 1993 in Los Angeles. Schaffer graduated from Azusa Pacific University, a Christian college, in 2017 with a degree in molecular biology. The following year, he began his podcasting career discussing matters of politics and biology, which he decided to pursue full-time after a threat was called in to a local high school and attributed to his podcast. He claimed this made him feel as though his podcast was impactful and worth pursuing:

Originally citing Ben Shapiro as an inspiration for getting into political content, Schaffer's material shifted away from long-form debate podcasts toward man-on-the-street interviews and gained traction in 2019 and 2020. His reporting of left-wing activist violence drew the attention of big names on the right, and he was considered a contributor to BlazeTV as of 2019. He attributed his rise to being noticed and his content shared by big names such as Alex Jones and Gavin McInnes.
Schaffer got married to his wife, Kezia, in January 2020. The couple had two children and their social media presence suggested a happy family life.

BlazeTV & Sydney Watson
In 2020, Schaffer was hired by BlazeTV to continue his on-the-ground journalistic efforts focusing on Antifa. His coverage gained considerable traction on Twitter, which led to Antifa members allegedly trying to hunt him down, threatening his life. BlazeTV provided him with security while covering the rioters, but he says he was still forced to flee the protest he was covering in fear for his life. (BlazeTV article / archive)
"Need to abort"... strangely prophetic.

Shortly after being hired by BlazeTV, Schaffer was one of many who waltzed into the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and took photographs in Nancy Pelosi's office. Some suspected him of being a federal asset because he was able to avoid criminal charges for this:

Over time, Schaffer's views shifted away from traditional conservatism, and in a 2021 interview, said he didn't see himself as a conservative:
(s/a)
With the online right branching out ideologically and embracing populism in the age of MAGA, BlazeTV gave Schaffer a show, which he cohosted with a generic Australian woman named Sydney L. Watson. Why a boring Aussie was hired to opine on matters of American politics remains unknown. Here's the launch video of their BlazeTV show, You Are Here, which premiered in 2021:
The biggest controversy from You Are Here came from the episode which featured Jack Murphy as a guest. Watson read off a superchat asking Murphy about his "cuck article," causing him to flip out at Watson. Schaffer didn't back her up during this; he feigned a coughing fit:
In addition, Schaffer's show, Slightly Offensive, migrated from his YouTube channel to became a BlazeTV mainstay. The show focused on cultural issues and interviews with other political figures largely from the right-leaning podcast circuit, such as Alex Jones of InfoWars:
However, Schaffer's actions off-camera caught up with him. Due to tension between the co-hosts, You Are Here was indefinitely sidelined. Why was there tension? Well, you see, Schaffer has numerous substance abuse issues and didn't respect Watson at all. She first brought up her issues with Schaffer to BlazeTV management in December 2021, just a few months after the show premiered:

Schaffer didn't stop guests from berating Watson on-camera and often joined in on the harassment, dogpiling her for being an atheist, among other reasons. His conduct on social media also perturbed her, such as this tweet calling telling boomer conservative Seb Gorka he jokingly hoped Watson would sleep with him for white-knighting for her.
(s/a)(s/a)
This was the last straw for Watson, who left the show and posted this on Twitter announcing her departure:
(s/a)
BlazeTV terminated Watson's contract in July 2022, citing her complaints and demands for action to change the workplace culture that tolerated Schaffer's hijinks. She filed a lawsuit against BlazeTV, claiming her firing was retaliatory due to her complaints against Schaffer.
BlazeTV responded with a motion to dismiss, which was denied.
Watson and BlazeTV settled the suit for an undisclosed amount in 2024. The details of the settlement are sealed. Additional PDFs of subsequent filings in the case are attached at the bottom of the thread.
Schaffer continued Slightly Offensive for several months after Watson left, though he and BlazeTV boss Glenn Beck did have some public dust-ups regarding Beck's Mormonism (Schaffer wasn't a fan.) In September 2022, he was fired after allegedly drunkenly groping his coworker Sara Gonzales' breasts at the premiere of Uncle Tom II, a movie which he produced.

After Schaffer's termination, BlazeTV removed the full episodes of Slightly Offensive from their YouTube channel, but some clips remain.
RiftTV
Schaffer founded RiftTV in May 2025, launching a new online commentary program with himself as CEO and primary host. He brought on several rising influencers in the right-wing ecosystem to get their own shows, including Sarah Stock and William "Vrillium" Sexton. At its peak, RiftTV boasted numerous affiliates on Twitter, all of whom had sizeable followings of their own, and had decent viewership on Twitch and Rumble. As of the publication of this thread, only two affiliates have kept their affiliate badges.
(s/a)
In addition to video content, the RiftTV site (a) also has news and right-leaning commentary articles written by its affiliates as well as pseudonymous contributors. Schaffer's personal views have also evolved since he founded RiftTV, moving ever further rightward, going so far as to sarcastically mock the idea that the US won World War II. This is quite a change from his more moderate days under Glenn Beck's mentorship.

Here's a January 2026 article written for RiftTV by Sarah Stock (s/a):
It has never been easier to be considered an "attractive woman" than it is in 2026.
You might not believe this if you get your information from TikTok or sociology textbooks, which tell you that there have never been higher "beauty standards." But step outside and observe: there is suprisingly little competition if you want to be considered an "attractive woman" that high-quality men would line up around the block to marry, have kids with and provide for forever.
Many women push back against "red pill" advice on this topic, viewing men's natural preferences as misogynistic. But if you're a smart girl, you should recognize it as an opportunity. Yes, this is bad news for men in the dating market, but it's actually really empowering news for young women who want to take advantage of the times we're living in to secure a man who loves them.
When it comes to being desirable, the bar is on the floor. Yes, some elements of your attractiveness are left up to chance, but much of it is within your control. If you want to be a top 10% woman in 2026, this is all that you have to do:
People don't seem to realize how much losing weight just puts you in a completely category when it comes to looks. Not only does your body look better, but your facial attractiveness improves too. When your face thins out, your eyes and lips look bigger in comparison, your hair looks fuller, and your nose looks smaller.
By the way, I'm not telling you that you need to achieve a 90's Victoria's Secret model build to be attractive—most people aren't capable of doing that in a healthy way, and being stick-thin doesn't always look the best on everyone anyways. Health should be a priority, but most people could afford to put down the fork a bit more and go on a run. All it really takes is a calorie deficit to look better in a way that spending hours doing hair and makeup could never make up for.
All you really have to do is put on some clothes. When you're in public, don't wear yoga pants, crop tops, tight short dresses, excessive cleavage, lingerie shirts. etc. You might think that these things are necessary in order to get male attention, but considering every other girl is wearing those things, showing less skin actually makes you stand out more. Social media is important too– delete any bikini photos or photos with seductive poses. Constantly posting selfies or photos of yourself makes you look desperate for validation.
Regarding your history: it's 2026, most women are going to have at least a bit of a sexual or romantic past with other men. What's important is that you don't talk about it, aside from being honest about its extent if things start to get serious with a guy (make sure to express regret over any mistakes). But spare the details—most men prefer not know. Avoid talking about your exes or bragging about male attention—it actually doesn't make you look desirable. Please don't talk about male celebrities you think are hot. Pretend that the guy you're interested in is the only one that exists.
Also, a lot of women in general have very stinky attitudes where they think they are owed the entire world simply for existing. This comes out in their language, where they think that "having a funny personality" means being overly critical of other people, especially men. Being demanding, condescending, and arrogant are unattractive qualities in everyone, and they're very easy to pick up on right off the bat. All you really have to do to have an attractive personality as a woman is to complain less, smile more, and be generally pleasant to be around. This will genuinely make you stand out in a world full of combative, never-satisfied young women.
I have been told by multiple men that any woman in public simply wearing a dress immediately catches their eye. It's not hard to incorporate flowy dresses and skirts into your daily wardrobe, and it actually makes picking out your outfits a lot easier. Wearing girly outfits will automatically make you so much more attractive to the opposite sex, and it will likely make you feel more confident too.
The ultimate feminine trait? Embracing traditional roles like wanting to be a wife and a mother. You should be able to make this obvious and clear to every man who crosses your path. Your #1 goal in life should be to have babies, take care of a man, make a beautiful home, and cook yummy food. In a culture dominated by feminism, where young women are now 13% less likely to say they want to get married someday than young men, simply wanting to be a wife is enough to make you "wife material." Being overly career-focused will be a huge turn-off for the men that are serious about settling down.
There are a variety other things you can do to signal your femininity, such as caring for the friends and family around you, bringing homemade food to functions, and picking up feminine hobbies like pilates, arts and crafts. Guys will see this and deduce that you stand out as someone who would make a great wife and mom.
Men might claim they prefer a "natural beauty" who does nothing to look good, but most people are simply not going to be a 10/10 when they wake up in the morning, so that's not really an option. Watch what men do, not what they say– they are naturally drawn to women who do their hair and makeup and know how to dress (because of the obvious fact that those things make them look better).
Of course, there is a balance to being a woman who is overly obsessed with their appearance to the point of materialism and vanity, and a woman who does nothing at all. Putting a bit of effort into your appearance when you go out does a lot. Tan, get a haircut that looks good with your face, style your hair, wear makeup that accentuates your features, clear your skin, whiten your teeth, wear jewelry, and paint your nails. There are ways to do these things affordably and in a way that doesn't suck up all your time, it just requires a little effort.
A lot of women either go overboard with this and look like drag queens, or they don't do anything and look like bums who are only ever seen with their hair pulled back and sweatpants on. If you put some effort into trying to be beautiful (especially if you follow rule #1 too) you can easily increase your level of attractiveness.
This all might seem straightforward, but think about it: How many women do you know that are slim, put effort into their appearance, are not slutty, wear dresses, want to be a wife, and are pleasant to be around?
When I go out in public and interact with "normies," the answer is close to none. Yet, these are all pretty easy things to achieve, and I think most guys would agree that they are the recipe for their "dream girl." So, if you're a woman and you're reading this, I encourage you, please take advantage of the dating market that we're in. Improve yourself and become a top 10% woman, and I promise that you will quickly secure a top 10% man that is willing to die for you.

Don't Be Fat
Recent CDC data shows about one in three women are now considered overweight. But I don't believe in that statistic—because when you go out in public it seems more and more rare to see people who look thin and athletic. The bar for what is considered "fat" is now extremely high. Most people have extra weight on them that they definitely don't need.People don't seem to realize how much losing weight just puts you in a completely category when it comes to looks. Not only does your body look better, but your facial attractiveness improves too. When your face thins out, your eyes and lips look bigger in comparison, your hair looks fuller, and your nose looks smaller.

All it really takes is a calorie deficit to look better in a way that spending hours doing hair and makeup could never make up for.
Don't Be a Slut
Most single young women have been deceived into believing casual, promiscuous behavior, is the best way to lock down a high-quality man. In reality, it make it so that only the most desperate men are willing to take you seriously. Even if you've have been acted like a slut in the past, it's never too late to stop. I shouldn't have to say this, but don't sleep around.All you really have to do is put on some clothes. When you're in public, don't wear yoga pants, crop tops, tight short dresses, excessive cleavage, lingerie shirts. etc. You might think that these things are necessary in order to get male attention, but considering every other girl is wearing those things, showing less skin actually makes you stand out more.

Please don't talk about male celebrities you think are hot. Pretend that the guy you're interested in is the only one that exists.
Don't Be Annoying
I find a lot of women nowadays to be extremely annoying to talk to. The vast majority have what I call "Tiktok accents" where every sentence ends in upspeak and they try to talk like gay men, or incorporate ghetto terminology like "periodt!" and "purrrrr" into everything they say. When I have to be in a conversation with someone like this, I feel like my ears are bleeding until it's over. If you talk like this, I don't really know what to say other than please have some self awareness and realize that everyone thinks that you're trying to sound like a black gay man. Maybe also put down the phone for a bit and try to talk normally.Also, a lot of women in general have very stinky attitudes where they think they are owed the entire world simply for existing. This comes out in their language, where they think that "having a funny personality" means being overly critical of other people, especially men.

All you really have to do to have an attractive personality as a woman is to complain less, smile more, and be generally pleasant to be around. This will genuinely make you stand out in a world full of combative, never-satisfied young women.
Don't Be Masculine
Some women out there seem to think that the best way to attract a man is to act like a man yourself. This might work on an effeminate gay man, but straight men are attracted to men who actually behave like women, believe it or not.I have been told by multiple men that any woman in public simply wearing a dress immediately catches their eye. It's not hard to incorporate flowy dresses and skirts into your daily wardrobe, and it actually makes picking out your outfits a lot easier. Wearing girly outfits will automatically make you so much more attractive to the opposite sex, and it will likely make you feel more confident too.

Don't Be a Slob
Unfortunately, some women have amazing qualities that would check off a lot of the previously mentioned boxes, but still have trouble finding a man. These women all have one thing in common– they don't know how to make themselves look good.Men might claim they prefer a "natural beauty" who does nothing to look good, but most people are simply not going to be a 10/10 when they wake up in the morning, so that's not really an option.

Cracks (literally) in RiftTV's foundation began to appear in late 2025 when William "Vrillium" Sexton, a Groyper-esque contributor, was outed as a bisexual crossdresser and former(?) leftist who posted pictures of his bussy on Twitter. Sexton's affiliate badge was removed and he has quieted down significantly since the images (and cheeks) spread. Schaffer did not directly address this controversy.
Despite Schaffer claiming to have been fundraising for studios in both Dallas and DC, RiftTV is allegedly financially insolvent at the moment and likely to go under. Its mailing address is a placeholder under the Slightly Offensive brand in Dallas.

The Alexis Wilkins Lawsuit
Curr(y/ent) FBI Director Kashyap "Kash" Patel's girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, has been alleged to be a Mossad asset assigned to Patel for espionage purposes. Wilkins, a singer, has filed lawsuits against many making this claim, including Schaffer, whom she sued for $5 million. Schaffer made multiple videos about this, then claimed she had maliciously phonebooked his family, which led to him saying he had to hide his family for their safety.
(s/a)
The lawsuit is still ongoing.
The Collapse, Jan-Feb 2026
In January 2026, Schaffer gave a rambling interview to Nick Shirley wherein he alleged he was severely beaten and nearly murdered over his reporting. Schaffer's speech is also drawling a bit here compared to how he normally sounds.
On February 2, 2026, Schaffer posted this bizarre video showing clear signs of intoxication in a flooded hotel. (Armchair suspicion: alcohol + cocaine.)
The following day, he posted these tweets, now deleted, over the course of a few hours.
Smiling, two thumbs up he got his car back but his wife and kids are missing? Needless to say, speculation about their fate was immediate, including from noted disappearing woman expert JFG:
(s/a)
Seeing Schaffer's tweets, Milo Yiannopoulos leaked their texts, as well as provided context and his personal knowledge of what happened between Schaffer and RiftTV contributor Sarah Stock. He also addressed the elephant in the room: Schaffer's love of getting fucked in the ass.
Texts:

(s/a)
(s/a)
Transcripts:
According to Stock, Schaffer told her he was in an open relationship and initially plied her with alcohol and Benadryl to lower her defenses:
(s/a)
The thread continued, delving into Schaffer's sexual proclivities and his affair with Stock:
In this flashback from the Stop the Steal era, Schaffer's sexuality is mentioned in this conversation between Nick Fuentes and his supporters. It's been an open secret for quite some time:
Sarah Stock claimed she had been saving herself for her husband while getting dicked down by her boss. The Pope even blessed their union.
(s/a)
What led up to Schaffer's likely drug-induced meltdown? In January 2026, his wife Kezia filed for divorce in Texas. He counter-filed in Florida, likely in an attempt to make it seem as though he initiated the divorce. However, people quickly caught on that this was not the case, and Schaffer owned up to it.
(s/a)
Inside this spoiler is Schaffer's divorce filing.
Elijah vs Ethan Ralph
It wouldn't be a thread without a major cow crossover. In 2022, Ethan Ralph was scheduled to appear on Slightly Offensive, but chickened out, suspecting he would be ambushed in the studio by none other than fellow Lolcow Emeritus Nick Rekieta. Ralph later changed his mind and flew to the studio after cancelling, but was told he would not be allowed in the building. He confronted Schaffer in the parking lot:
Schaffer later went on Rekieta's show to shit-talk Ralph. The video is several hours long.
Ralph responded, calling Schaffer a homosexual:
Ralph wasn't wrong in calling Schaffer a homosexual (he's bi, but close enough.) This was a blatant thirst trap Elijah posted in 2025 which was only lightly mocked at the time despite its obvious intent; it began circulating again upon the release of Milo's thread. This picture was definitely for the guys; this looks like a Grindr profile picture, not a fitness progress pic taken by a straight married father. Needless to say, people were not surprised to hear of his divorce.
(s/a)
To conclude, Elijah Schaffer's life is a mess entirely of his own doing, and he's sure to bring us more content as he continues his self-destructive spiral.
Special thanks to everyone who posted in the Happenings thread about Schaffer's Twitter meltdown for the info they collected; I used a lot of it to help construct this OP.
