'Yes, yes, let’s go!' Neo-Nazi celebrates possible role in influencing Antioch High killer
Jon Minadeo made remarks in podcast reacting to NewsChannel 5 investigation of his online interactions with children
A notorious neo-Nazi is celebrating his possible role in influencing a deadly school shooting.
Jon Minadeo, 42, whose last known address was in Springfield, Missouri, appeared ecstatic during a podcast Monday night after a NewsChannel 5 investigation revealed how he goes into video chat apps popular with children and tries to recruit them into his world of hate.
During that podcast, the neo-Nazi played video from NewsChannel 5’s report, stopping at the point when it noted the shooter at Nashville’s Antioch High School earlier this year left behind a manifesto that included material from Minadeo and his Goyim Defense League.
"Yes, yes, let’s go!" Minadeo declared, triggering a repeating horn sound effect commonly associated with celebrations.
"Influencing n*****s to kill n*****s! Yah! Yah!"
He then flexed his right arm in a show of strength.
"Propaganda is so strong over here. I'm gonna get all these n*****s to kill each other!”
Minadeo repeatedly flexed his arm, chanting “Yah! Yah! Yah!" with each flex.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates exposed how the founder of the Goyim Defense League (GDL) goes into roulette-style video chat apps, designed to help people meet and converse with strangers, often engaging with children who frequent those sites.
Minadeo does not tell those kids that he is livestreaming their chats on his own hate-filled website as his followers donate money to cheer him on.
As NewsChannel 5 discovered from reviewing hours of videos, the neo-Nazi berates children of color he meets, while attempting to recruit the white kids. He urges them to get guns and to prepare to “kill n*****s” for a looming “race war.”
He often encourages the white children to give Nazi salutes and make racist remarks.
Yet, during his podcast Monday night, Minadeo was unapologetic.
"When I see these kids, you know, getting pumped up saying, 'F—k n*****s, white power,' and they're getting ready for what's happening—‘cause they're having to live through this. s—t as children—I don't take back any of that s—t at all,” he said.
A group of Nashville parents who watch Minadeo’s videos with NewsChannel 5 saw a man who does not care about the consequences of his actions.
"Something is deeply off with him that this is where he feels comfortable,” Maryam Abolfazli told us.
In one video, Minadeo engaged with a boy who said he was 14 but appeared to be younger. The GDL leader pulled out an assault rifle and, pretending he was crying, put the barrel up to his chin.
"If I've got to go to heaven with n*****s, I'm just going to f—ing kill myself man. I just can't," Minadeo told the boy.
The child replied meekly, "Don't."
Minadeo triggered a gun sound effect and slumped back in his chair as the boy stared in silence.
The neo-Nazi later clipped that moment from his show and posted it on his channel on the right-wing Telegram messaging app.
In another video, Minadeo held an assault weapon as he taunted two teen boys, one white, the other Black.
"What are you doing hanging out with this n*****?" he asked the white kid, who responded by putting what appeared to be a handgun up to his friend’s head.
“Yes!” Minadeo exclaimed.
The Black teen put a gun to his own head.
Minadeo then pulled out a monkey doll that he often uses as a replica of a Black baby, declaring: “We’re ready to do this sh*t live. Are you ready to do this sh*t live?”
He then put the barrel of his gun against the doll’s head.
"Here, you shoot him. I'll shoot this one. Ready? 1, 2, 3.”
Again, Minadeo triggered the gun blast sound effect, then expressed his frustration that the white teen had not pulled the trigger.
“P—y!"
The parents who watched the videos were horrified by the message.
As NewsChannel 5 Investigates noted, "Minadeo doesn't know whether those are real guns or toy guns—and he's saying pull the trigger."
While it may have been a joke for the teens, the parents say they see nothing funny about the neo-Nazi's hate.
"The more you do it, the more normal it's gonna be,” said Sarah Shoop Neumann.
“So the next time when he's mad at his friend, what's gonna happen? How easy is it gonna be to pull the trigger for real?"
I’ve always represented the common American man and woman as a member of the House of Representatives, which is why I’ve always been despised in Washington DC and never fit in.
Americans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both Political Parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more. And the results are always the same.
No matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman. The debt goes higher. Corporate and global interests remain Washington’s sweethearts.
American jobs continue to be replaced—whether it’s by illegal labor, legal labor by visas, or just shipped overseas. Small businesses continue to be swallowed by big corporations.
Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars always fund foreign wars, foreign aid, and foreign interests. The spending power of the dollar continues to decline. The average American family can no longer survive on a single breadwinner’s income as both parents must work in order to simply survive.
And today, many in my children’s generation feel hopeless for their future and don’t think they will ever realize the American dream, which breaks my heart.
I ran for Congress in 2020 and have fought every single day believing that Make America Great Again meant America First. I have one of the most conservative voting records in Congress—defending the 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, unborn babies because I believe God creates life at conception, strong safe borders. I’ve fought against Covid tyrannical insanity and mandated mass vaccinations, and I’ve never voted to fund foreign wars.
However, with almost one year into our majority, the legislature has been mostly sidelined. We endured an 8-week shutdown, wrongly resulting in the House not working for the entire time, and we are entering campaign season—which means all courage leaves and only safe campaign re-election mode is turned on.
During the longest shutdown in our nation’s history, I raged against my own Speaker and my own party for refusing to proactively work diligently to pass a plan to save American healthcare and protect Americans from outrageous, overpriced, and unaffordable health insurance policies. The House should have been in session working every day to fix this disaster, but instead America was force-fed disgusting political drama once again from both sides of the aisle.
My bills—which reflect many of President Trump’s Executive Orders—like calling for a new census counting Americans only to draw new districts, making English the official language of the U.S., making it a felony to medically trans a minor, and other bills like eliminating capital gains taxes on the sale of your home and eliminating H1-B visas—just sit collecting dust. That’s how it is for most members of Congress’s bills; the Speaker never brings them to the floor for a vote.
Many common Americans are no longer easily convinced by paid political propaganda spokespersons and consultants on TV and paid shills on social media obediently serving with cult-like conviction to force others to swallow the political party talking points.
Because they know how much credit card debt they have. They know how much their own bills have gone up over the past 5 years. They actually do their own grocery shopping and know food costs too much. Their rent has increasingly gone up. They have been outbid by corporate asset managers too many times when they put in an offer to buy a house. They have been laid off after being forced to train their visa-holding replacement. The college degree they were told to earn only left them in debt with no big six-figure salary. They see more homeless people than ever on their own community streets. They can’t afford health insurance or practically any insurance. And they just aren’t stupid.
These are the people I represent and love, because that is who all of my family and friends are—common Americans.
I have been blessed to represent the 14th district of Georgia for 5 years, which is filled with some of the most wonderful, kind-hearted, God-fearing, patriotic, hard-working people you will ever meet. Good, regular, common Americans.
I’ve worked hard to bring taxpayer dollars back home to help district needs. I impeached Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security after watching my constituents die as he facilitated the dangerous open-border invasion into America, and I led the effort to defund hard-left, politically biased NPR, PBS, and the corrupt USAID as the Chair of the DOGE Subcommittee.
I have fought harder than almost any other elected Republican to elect Donald Trump and Republicans to power—traveling the country for years, spending millions of my own money, missing precious time with my family that I can never get back, and showing up in places like outside the New York Courthouse in Collect Pond Park against a raging leftist mob as Trump faced Democrat lawfare. Meanwhile, most of the Establishment Republicans—who secretly hate him and who stabbed him in the back and never defended him against anything—have all been welcomed in after the election.
And I will never forget the day I had to leave my mother’s side as my father had brain surgery to remove cancerous tumors in order to fly to Washington D.C. to defend President Trump and vote NO against the Democrats’ second impeachment in 2021. My poor father and my poor mother—it was way too much.
Through it all, I never changed or went back on my campaign promises and only disagreed in a few areas like my stance against H1-Bs replacing American jobs, AI state moratoriums, debt-for-life 50-year mortgage scams, standing strongly against all involvement in foreign wars, and demanding the release of the Epstein files. Other than that, my voting record has been solidly with my party and the President.
Loyalty should be a two-way street, and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district’s interest because our job title is literally “Representative.”
America First should mean America First—and only Americans First—with no other foreign country ever being attached to America First in our halls of government.
Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.
However, while yes hurtful, my heart remains filled with joy, my life is filled with happiness, and my true convictions remain unchanged because my self-worth is not defined by a man, but instead by God who created everything in existence.
You see, I have never valued power, titles, or attention in spite of all the wrong assumptions about me. I do not cling to those things because they are meaningless and empty traps that hold too many people in Washington. I believe in term limits and do not think Congress should be a lifelong career or an assisted living facility.
My only goal and desire has ever been to hold the Republican Party accountable for the promises it makes to the American people and put America First. And I have fought against Democrats’ damaging policies like the Green New Deal, wide-open deadly unsafe border policies, and the trans agenda on children and against women.
With that has come years of nonstop, never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me that most people could never withstand even for a day.
It has been unfair and wrong—not only to me and especially my family, but to my district as well.
I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for—only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms. And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.
It’s all so absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a “battered wife” hoping it all goes away and gets better.
If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well.
There is no “plan to save the world” or insane 4D chess game being played.
When the common American people finally realize and understand that the Political Industrial Complex of both parties is ripping this country apart, that not one elected leader like me is able to stop Washington’s machine from gradually destroying our country—and instead the reality is that they, common Americans, The People, possess the real power over Washington—then I’ll be here by their side to rebuild it.
Until then, I’m going back to the people I love, to live life to the fullest as I always have, and look forward to a new path ahead.
It's both extremely refreshing and extremely frustrating when these well-known politicians finally speak without the weight of partisanship and having to be reelected hangs over their heads.
Even the likes of MTG and McConnell sound downright reasonable... and dare I say, human.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
I’d like to know who thinks they’re better off than a year ago and why?
Trump Calls Affordability a ‘Con Job’ as His Edge on the Economy Slips President Trump is growing frustrated as Americans struggle with higher prices and pessimism over the state of the economy.
President Trump on Tuesday called the issue of affordability a “fake narrative” and “con job” created by Democrats to dupe the public.Credit...Doug Mills/The New York Times Erica L. Green By Erica L. Green Erica L. Green, who reported from Washington, covers the White House.
Dec. 2, 2025 President Trump on Tuesday downplayed the cost-of-living pains being felt by Americans, declaring that affordability “doesn’t mean anything to anybody” as his political edge on the economy continues to dissipate.
In remarks during a cabinet meeting, Mr. Trump railed against Democrats who have championed the issue, which helped the party secure several off-year election victories last month and is likely to be a defining topic in the midterms next year.
After ticking off what he claimed were trillions of dollars of investments and other economic accomplishments, Mr. Trump called the issue of affordability a “fake narrative” and “con job” created by Democrats to dupe the public.
“They just say the word,” he said. “It doesn’t mean anything to anybody. They just say it — affordability. I inherited the worst inflation in history. There was no affordability. Nobody could afford anything.”
The comments marked something of a turnabout for Mr. Trump, who just last weekend appeared to acknowledge the salience of the issue, calling himself the “affordability president” and promoting his efforts to bring down prices.
After Democrats won decisive victories in state and local elections last month, in part powered by a focus on prices, the Trump administration has been rolling out new affordability policies and recasting its economic messaging to match.
Mr. Trump even promoted the issue less than two weeks ago during a remarkably chummy Oval Office meeting with Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist elected as the mayor of New York.
Affordability was also a topic of conversation — and agreement — between the two, and Mr. Trump even seemed impressed by Mr. Mamdani’s ability to build a campaign centered on cost-of-living issues.
“You know, we had some interesting conversation, and some of his ideas really are the same ideas that I have,” Mr. Trump said after the meeting. “A big thing on cost. The new word is affordability. Another word, it’s just groceries. It’s sort of an old-fashioned word, but it’s very accurate. They are coming down.”
But on Tuesday, Mr. Trump turned his ire back to his political foes, saying they had seized on the issue for political gain.
Mr. Trump reprised his attacks on former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who he said had left him a failing economy and high inflation. But in dismissing stubbornly high costs, Mr. Trump risks finding himself in the same trap that Mr. Biden did — insisting that Americans are not experiencing the sticker shock that polls have consistently shown they are feeling.
Mr. Trump has tried to claim he has brought down inflation, glossing over the fact that it ticked up slightly in recent months and some of his policies were contributing to high costs, like his tariffs.
“There is still more to do,” Mr. Trump acknowledged on Tuesday. “There’s always more to do, but we have it down to a very good level. It’s going to go down a little bit further. You want to have a little tiny bit of inflation. Otherwise, that’s not good either. Then you have a thing called deflation, and deflation can be worse than inflation.”
Mr. Trump’s comments underscored how he has struggled to wrest back the messaging of affordability, vacillating between dismissing it — “I don’t want to hear about the affordability,” he proclaimed last month — and trying to cast himself as the solution.
Just this past weekend, Mr. Trump posted a lengthy social media message promoting his efforts to lower prescription drug costs, which concluded: “If this story is properly told, we should win the Midterm Elections in RECORD NUMBERS. I AM THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT. TALK LOUDLY AND PROUDLY!”
But on Tuesday, Mr. Trump was back to calling affordability a “Democrat scam,” even as members of his cabinet sought to offer some comfort that the administration was addressing the subject.
“I think for congressional Democrats, in particular, if they want to talk about affordability, they ought to look in the mirror,” Vice President JD Vance said. “We are fixing what they’ve broken. We’re proud to do it. It’s the job that we are elected to do. But I think 2026 is going to be the year where this economy really takes off.”
Members of the administration have also said that as Mr. Trump prepares to ramp up messaging about his affordability agenda in the coming months, they would be careful to avoid the mistakes of Mr. Biden, whose “Bidenomics” messaging fell flat with voters.
Kevin Hassett, a top White House economic adviser, told reporters last month that “Trumponomics works and Bidenomics doesn’t,” and that the “the affordability gap that was created by Biden’s runaway inflation is gradually being whittled away” by income increases under Mr. Trump.
He later added: “But we understand that people understand as they look at their pocketbooks and go to the grocery store, that there’s still work to do.”
Erica L. Green is a White House correspondent for The Times, covering President Trump and his administration.
People who never go to the grocery store and never write their own checks because accountants do it for them, have no idea of what every day costs are. And when they surround themselves with a bunch of kiss azzes who agree with everything they say it's almost impossible to convince them of the reality that exists outside of their little bubble. Being an extreme narcissist doesn't help matters either.
