Major Revelations and Strategic Intelligence
Campaign Finance Corruption Exposure
Kamala Campaign Endorsement Offers: Tiffany revealed systematic attempts to purchase her endorsement:
- Initial offers: Multiple versions starting with simple Biden support videos
- Escalation: "What will it take? $150,000. $180,000" - highest offer received
- Script writing option: $1,000 per minute for 60 minutes of content ($60,000 total) without requiring her to post it
- Production company filtering: Payments filtered through celebrities' production companies to avoid direct payment appearance
- Beyoncé example: "$10 million for 90 seconds" filtered as "production costs"
- Oprah disclosure: "$4 million" to her production company for campaign appearance
- Creator network: "Over $6 million to creators for endorsements" through agencies
- Post-election disclosure: "Well over $40 million" total for endorsements becomes public after election
Tiffany: "They offered me like six different versions, when it was just Biden. It was very simple. We want you to make videos supporting Biden... Then after Kamala got reached in there, it got very overwhelming. And I would literally just get a phone call and be like, what will it take? $150,000. $180,000."
Private Equity Battle Documentation
Human Trafficking Evidence: Tiffany revealed her franchise opposition company's use of forced labor:
Tiffany: "The company I'm fighting engages in human trafficking. That's the next episode. We got receipts for more than $500,000 of them flying in planes of Chinese nationals working slave labor to build their parks."
Legal Strategy: Plans to release sealed court documents online for other franchise owners fighting similar battles.

Documentary and Media Strategy
Faith-in-Action Documentary Project
Gary outlined his vision for documentary work:
Gary: "I feel called to make a documentary of some sort about how to carry out your faith in action... spotlighting modern saints. I think that enough evil people get spotlight... What are the stories that are not being framed in a way that for people that are already looking for meaning."

Media Appearances and Influence
InfoWars Success: Recent appearance "went very well. So well that they're airing it eight times this weekend" Tucker Carlson Progress: "I'm getting very close to Tucker. I've been referred to him by 11 of his former best friends" Timing Challenge: "The problem is he's so unilaterally focused on Israel right now that until he comes out of that I can't get there"
Personal Stories and Motivation
Family Trauma and Mission Commitment
Daughter's Response to Forced Abortion:
Tiffany: "My 12-year-old held me aside out in the hallway. And she's like, I have a sister. Yeah, I have a sister. And he said, they killed her? And I said, yes, they did. And she said, I don't care how hard it is, Mom. Don't ever stop. I'll help you."
Son's School Project:
Tiffany: "My seven-year-old son's moving to Reno. Because what's happening to us doesn't happen to anyone else. His teacher told me that every single day he stands in front of a mirror and asks his classmates to pray for him to keep fighting."
MLK Project Response: Son's only dream was "private equity couldn't hurt families anymore"
Spiritual Foundation and Calling
Pastoral Guidance:
Tiffany: "And he said, all I just heard is that you're fighting for hundreds of people. Last I checked, we were talking to a lot more than we wanted... I need to know what you really need to do. What you need to get through this to know how you're going to move forward."
Divine Commitment:
Tiffany: "God, open the doors and help me find the path. I will walk it. I'll walk on planes. I'll walk on rocks. I'll walk on lava. I'll walk on broken glass. Keep opening doors. I'll find my way... As long as I keep choosing hard things, doors keep opening."
Business and Professional Background
Sommelier Career in Japan
Unique Background: 15-year sommelier career with master's in sake and Japanese cuisine Government Work: "I worked for the Japanese government assessing your sake value" Cultural Insight: Discussed COVID's impact on Japan ("locked down for two years and five and a half months") and global wealth concentration effects
Private Equity Battle Experience
Franchise Acquisition: 2017 Little Gym franchise purchase, 2021 Unleashed Brands acquisition Leadership Role: "Elected president of franchisee union with 96% participation rate" Legal Costs: "$750,000 in legal fees" from fighting termination and lawsuits in five jurisdictions Victory: Won defamation case, triggered FTC investigation with "31 subpoenas to Unleashed Brands"
Strategic Analysis and Cultural Commentary
Elite Corruption Understanding
Pretty Woman Reference:
Tiffany: "In the movie Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts is a heifer. And Richard Gere is the principal of a private equity firm. And he's a bad guy... He only becomes the good guy when he stops destroying companies and starts killing the good guys. We have known since like 1996 that it's bad."
System Dysfunction:
Tiffany: "By and large, it's becoming increasingly true. And Joe talked to me about this. About how he used to be at the school over at Carlisle... We wanted to go in and do a bunch of venture capital to grow things. And the business liquidators came in and took over the project and started taking down businesses."
COVID Economic Impact Analysis
Wealth Concentration:
Tiffany: "During COVID, we endured 505 days of lockdowns and created 551 new businesses while simultaneously closed over 5 million small businesses. Does that seem like a good trade-off?"
Global Pattern: "It created more billionaires than people in the middle class during COVID. It was like if there were already kindling because of the growing wealth inequality, COVID was like dumping six bottles of jet fuel on it."
American Nationalism vs. Faith Analysis
Pre-9/11 Studies:
Tiffany: "Prior to 9-11 and in the 3 years that followed there were tons of studies done that determined that our nationalism is as close to a national religion as we have... That allowed us to work for different religions. And to still coalesce and be supportive. But that was completely predicated on the youth of America having a belief that that hope was there for them. And we lost that."
Current Reality: "If they come in with a black flag event, they're going to find that everyone's going to say, we're not going and you better start drafting because we're not signing up. We don't serve you because you don't serve us."
Political Strategy and Movement Building
Purple Politics Approach
Bipartisan Strategy:
Tiffany: "I won't support a party that will absolutely support any candidate that serves only their constituents. Left, right, purple, green, I don't care."
Shared Values Framework: "93% of values in common with each other, only 7% with billionaires"
Actionable Hope:
Tiffany: "I never, ever finish a single video without giving them something they can do to change it... People are so desperate for hope... If you give a person a way to make a difference in 30 seconds or less, they will always make that choice."
September DC Coordination
Ian Carroll Visit: "Ian's coming in his arrival. He'll be here on the 29th. He'll be here for at least four weeks" Content Production: "We're going to be recording seven episodes. We have a lot of work to do" Epstein Victims Interview: "September 3rd I'm going to interview Epstein victims" Congressional Meetings: "I'm going to interview Ro Khanna, Thomas Massey, and some Epstein victims" Georgetown Speaking: "I'm speaking at Georgetown on the 27th I think"
Gary's Spiritual Evolution and Collaboration Framework
Faith-Centered Work Commitment
Joe Liemandt Assessment:
Gary: "I just recently consulted for a different Joe. A guy named Joe Lamont. Who is a private equity guy... And the practice just didn't feel very good. I've been spending some time... Well, rebounding my faith, really."
Values Alignment Requirement:
Gary: "I can't work with mercenaries. It's so tiring... That's all I care about. I can't work with mercenaries."
Documentary Vision Framework
Modern Saints Focus:
Gary: "The task of being a mother and a wife and all the other responsibilities while living in truth... It's something in that age of spotlighting modern saints. I think that enough evil people get spotlight."
Cruise Director Metaphor:
Gary: "The metaphor of me being kind of like a cruise director for my generation in a way just like, hey, here's kind of what's happening here's how to make sense of it. I've kind of felt called to play this kind of role."
Technical Collaboration Commitment
Resource Availability:
Gary: "I have a lot of bandwidth... I can help a lot. In every way. Not just like writing code. I'm very prolific."
Documentation Platform: "We could create a site that really neatly organizes all the timeline and everything and how fucked up it's all been. That would be pretty easy."
War Preparation:
Gary: "I'm built for war... The cognitive dissonance of being at Google while I was an activist was too much. Eventually I just had to leave."
Strategic Outcomes and Next Steps
Immediate Collaboration Framework
- Technology Development: Gary's software engineering support for bot and app development
- DC Coordination: Both will be in Washington DC end of August 2025
- Documentary Planning: Faith-in-action content creation with Bobby Bailey introduction

Resource Deployment Strategy
Capital Access: Gary confirmed ability to fund Twitter API costs and other technical requirements Creator Network: 30+ creators with $25-30 million combined following fully aligned with mission Technical Expertise: Logan Galima (Eliza CTO) providing development support Legal Documentation: Systematic organization of sealed court documents for broader franchise battle support
September Operations
Ian Carroll Collaboration: Four-week Austin residency for major content production Congressional Engagement: Epstein victims interviews and politician meetings Content Production: Seven episodes planned with existing material ready University Speaking: Georgetown appearance on American money degradation and small business impact
Philosophical and Strategic Insights
David vs. Goliath Technology Strategy
Small Tools, Massive Impact:
Tiffany: "All we would really have to do right now... if we gave every American a tool where they could click three buttons and see how much money was encumbering the politicians before them... everything would change."
Faith-Based Resistance Framework
Divine Door Opening:
Tiffany: "He could lay down hot coals, he could lay down broken glass, as long as he keeps opening doors that allow me to make change, I'll keep walking through it."
John Wick Parallel:
Tiffany: "They will have taken everything from me, including a child. But I will never stop until I take everything from them. And they have so much more to lose."
Cultural and Economic Analysis
Dopamine Trap Recognition:
Tiffany: "All they're really doing is drowning in distractions because they're scared they're experiencing aloneness. It's not really an option. It's a never-ending chase for dopamine to fill the void."
Systemic Solution Focus: Building alternatives rather than just exposing problems, creating tools that empower individual choice while starving corrupt systems of resources and support.
Notes
This conversation represents a significant strategic convergence between Gary's faith-based movement building and Tiffany's systematic anti-corruption work. The combination of Gary's technical abilities, network orchestration skills, and spiritual foundation with Tiffany's media presence, legal battle experience, and creator network creates powerful infrastructure for challenging corporate concentration and political corruption.
Key strategic value: Both participants demonstrate commitment to truth-telling over financial incentives, sophisticated understanding of systemic corruption, and practical vision for building tools that empower individual Americans to make informed choices. The September DC coordination and ongoing technology development provide immediate collaborative opportunities with substantial potential impact.
