Guys, we just finished recording one of the most insane trio videos ever. And as soon as we got off, I got sent this delicious picture of Milo Yianopoulos, alt-right, ex-gay, gay, ex-gay troublemakers mugshot. He's been detained by ice. He's on his way out of the country. Let's look at it. Looking good, motherfucker. Stick around with the trio.

Hey, everybody heard it right there. It's the trio. I'm Tim Miller here with me. managing editor Sam Stein, author of the false flag newsletter that underscores everything we do here at the trio. That's Will Summer. I guess what really is kind of the grist that provides us with the fodder that we need is your newsletter, but it's really Earth. It's the existence of MAGA individuals out there, you know, kind of engaging in chicanery. And we do have some breaking news right before we were planning the tape anyway.

and we have some breaking trio related news that I am so excited to share that I'm almost physically excited about it. And that is that Milo Yianopoulos has been apprehended by ICE right here in my home state of Louisiana. I might have a little sourcing on this I can get to, but Will Summer, tell us what you know. This is a political earthquake, Tim, as you said, Milo Yuenopoulos, the longtime far-right, commentator who is, it's worth noting for this story, British, but has long been living in the United States. Also, Kanye West manager, sort of trickster figure in the bag of media. He was, as you said, TMZ reported. He was apprehended by ICE is currently in ICE detention, and will presumably be getting deported. Yeah, seems like he's getting deported. Sam. Do you have any

Milo lore? No, I'm not like Will. I was just going to say, because you were absolutely right, like the world is our oyster here. Right before we came on, I would turn to Will and I was like, your beat never disappoints. Like there's just always something going on. Like people who need to understand this, Will's newsletter, we were talking about Will's newsletter,

which is coming out on Monday. And it involves like hitmen in Latin America. But now that's like the second story because of Milo. Will has it too easy. It's the B-Block. Well, before I get into my, Milo, you know, information and thoughts. I mean, Milo, you know, have circled each other over the years.

Are you going to go see him in the ICE detention center? I don't think so. I don't think. Alexandria, you know, the main ICE detention center here in Louisiana where they're sending people out from and now they're going to expand that into a children's detention center because that's the kind of country we live in now. That's very, that's like basically Arkansas. And they say it's in Louisiana, but it's in the northern part of Louisiana.

It's like a whole different world. You know, it's like culturally and just logistically very challenging for me to get there. So, no, I won't be visiting Milo. Though I don't know if I would even if he was in the New Orleans prison, to be fair. Well, there's some gossip out there that his imprisonment, his deportation is the work of Laura Lumer. Well, she would certainly tell you that it is. Yes. So, you know, Laura Lumer and Milo Unopoulos were once best friends.

He, they memorably did a rally in D.C. where he dressed up as her. appeared together, all this stuff. But they've since had a really acrimonious falling out, in part because Milo kind of sided with Marjorie Taylor Green in that feud with Laura. He was living at Marjorie's house, maybe. You know, he supposedly ghost wrote her book, according to Laura. So they hate each other now. And, you know, for about a year, Laura has been on this campaign saying, at ICE, Milo does not have legal residency in the United States. His visa is expired. Go get him. And now that they've arrested him or detained him, Laura is very openly saying, I did it. This was my doing.

I asked her. I said, hey, did you do it? And she said, yes. And I said, okay, so you think it was you. And she said, I just told you that. Do you even listen? So from her perspective, she thinks it was her. She's not going to like this analogy.

And obviously deportation is not the same as concentration camp. So there are some limits. Like, Laura's out doing the thing where it's like, oh, yeah, I'm calling the SS guard and being like, look over here. Look over here. I want you to realize, like, I'm calling on my neighbors. Like, I hear there's some paperwork issues down the block. That's Laura Brackardot. Yeah, people, longtime trio listeners will know that, and I saw firsthand, sort of the beginning of the falling out of Lumer and Milo at that bar in Phoenix.

when Lumer intervened in my physical altercation with Carrie Lake, who was a little, and then I asked her later why she said, you know, I've got some problems with a different homosexual at this party and then proceeded to walk over to Milo and they got into an altercation that became nearly physical. I remember that. She could only have an altercation with one homosexual at a time. Yeah, yeah. She didn't want any of the attention taken off of her feud.

She didn't want me and Carrie Lake stealing her gay drama thunder at that bar. So, well, I had a couple follow-ups for you. Something you did not mention. Well, you said he might have been living with Marjorie Taylor Green at the time, Miley Annapolis. I guess I'm actually just going to take a quick pause before I follow up this. Before I give this follow-up question, for anyone who's gotten this far, you know, like, refresh me.

Milo, it was the gay provocateur, kind of one of the, originators of the Twinks for Trump in 2015, even before that, he was like a Breitbart, right-wing culture. He's like the gay culture warrior, if you will, would pal around with Andrew Breitbart. And then, you know, had a falling out with many people in Trump world. He's an unstable figure, ends up becoming ex-gay, then joins like a Christian QVC where he's sold like, you know, little kind of rosaries and, and like put on a whole different affect. And during that period, I guess you got divorced with his husband.

And you wrote in our Slack that then moved into a mansion with Dove Charnie, which is something I did not know. Yeah, the American Apparel founder. Yeah. So Milo Uanopoulos has for several years been living in a historic L.A. mansion called the Garbutt mansion. and it is a just truly sprawling property, the Garbutt mansion. It's on the National Register of Historic Places.

It's a very nice place to live. And so there have been a lot of legal cases surrounding this. The L.A. Times has written about Milo and Dove kind of laying low in the Garbutt mansion, sometimes with Kanye West, sometimes with a rotating cast of Maga Media characters. So Milo's been busy. I mean, you know, you mentioned the ex-gay thing. So Milo's actually currently going through a divorce from his husband. His husband, as I recall, was a black school teacher.

Is that right? Yes, I don't know about the school teacher. He's definitely a black man. And that's relevant here because Milo, when he was kind of this British, like, British, like tech media provocateur. And then when Gamergate started going 2014, 2015, Milo kind of made the, jump to the U.S. through Gamergate.

And Gamergate, they loved people who weren't white men, straight white men, who were upset about it. He would say things like, well, I'm not a bigot, because I and forgive me folks, but he would say like, I'm not a bigot because I love taking black cocks. Like stuff like that. Like that was kind of his original thing. However, that relationship has soured. You know, in his husband's 2025 demand for for spousal support, he said the breadwinner here, so Milo has disavowed his homosexuality while the house husband doesn't believe homosexuality is a choice.

So the whole ex-gay thing did put a lot of stress on Milo's gay marriage. You would think so. Yeah, you would think that there would be a little bit of tension there. Not a lot of people that I speak to really bought the whole ex-gay thing. I don't think that there's a lot of people that were kind of thinking Milo was living a celibate lifestyle. Well, according to his husband, they were all living in the Garbutt mansion together. The husband was there, and then Milo moved a model in. I'm assuming a male model.

Do you think Dove was getting any? Who knows with that guy? I have a couple questions. So what's Kanye going to do here? Like, isn't that kind of a wild card? Good question. So Milo is in this, there is this bizarre thing, you know, starting, I think, like, 20, 21, where Milo became, like, a Sven Gali figure to Kanye when he was at his most, like,

Hitler-loving, lost. He introduced Nick Fuentes to Kanye, and that led to the whole Mar-a-Lago thing with Trump and Puentes. But basically, the reason it seems he was apprehended in Louisiana, is because Kanye is set to perform Friday in New Orleans. And so that is probably why he was in the state. And so it seems like they're still very tight. I don't know what, you know, is Kanye going to be upset?

Is he going to put out an anti-ice protest song now? Because his buddy's being deported. We'll see. I mean, probably not, but not totally inconceivable. And I guess depends on where he gets deported to. You'll ask my other question. Is he going to be sent to Liberia? Can we please send him to the Central African report?

public. And that is the main question. I mean, I guess you could find some things of interest there, maybe. But like, I would like for that to have. Being sent to Britain is not the kind of level of punishment that he deserves. Like, Milo sent the following. Milos is such a disgusting character. He sent the following tweet the Will flagged about a year ago now. And he wrote this, what is the etiquette if you're going about your business and find yourself observing an ice raid? I want to show a little respect and decency. Are you allowed to masturbate where you stand? or should you find some kind of awning or a motor vehicle? And that left me to kind of wonder the same question

when the news came across my phone today. I was experiencing a little turgidity and wondering what the rules were seeing the news of Milo. What did you do? Well, I couldn't quite get there because the thought of him just being sent and is pretty enjoyable to think of him shackled in Alexandria. That I like. being sent to the UK, back to the UK to kind of bounce around,

hang out with Nigel, the far right's kind of on the rise in the UK. You know, like I really do, I really do need him to be sent to a third country like the Central African Republic. And I'm still against that as a program, and I think it's inhumane and disgusting. But if there were to be someone that deserves to be sent there, I would say it would be Milo. I don't have a ton of reporting the offer.

in Will's text with Laura Lumer seems pretty authoritative. But I did contact some people around town. And the couldn't, did not get a verdict one way or another on whether Lumer was the source. But the argument in favor of her being the source is that, like, this is something we all know, but just hearing it from firsthand, like, they are very focused on just snatching up any low-hanging fruit. around and particularly in red states where in places where you have favorable, friendly political environments. And so the notion that, you know, somebody gets called on their neighbor,

and this is very ominous and scary and horrific and un-American in every situation except for the Milo one. But like the idea that somebody would, you know, they know he's here, right, for the Kanye concert and to call kind of the friendly. agents here in the region, it doesn't seem like that's an outlandish thing to have happened at all, you know, based on, based on kind of the environment that people in that and law enforcement world are seeing down here. Yeah, I mean, I think I'm reluctant to give Laura credit for anything,

but I do think we probably have to assume that she's behind this because, like, how else are they grabbing a random British guy? But why now? She's been tagging him for a while. Well, perhaps is because he left the Garbutt mansion and traveled to a red state. Yep. You know, that's a positive. Yeah. I think that might be it. I mean, I do think the other thing I want to talk about is that this, people might be surprised

to learn, but this is occasioned a lot of excitement and rejoicing on the right. Because in his later years, Milo has adopted a sort of Will Summer role and tried to report really rigorously on his one-time friends on the right. And so he's constantly being like, I've lined up a victim of this guy who's going to denounce him on Twitter and stuff, which has obviously been very useful for me, but it has made him a lot of enemies. So along with Laura, he's obviously, he's gone after people like Elijah Schaefer, who we talked about. He went after Ali Alexander and most notably, Benny Johnson. A few months ago, he was saying, Benny Johnson, we all know he's gay. Oh, it's the gayest guy ever, whatever.

Benny and his wife said they were going to sue Milo. How'd that go? Well, it was never filed, but now Benny has a little out here. He said, if you will, but he said on Twitter, you know, when Milo was on a rampage against me and my wife and we were going to sue him, but Laura said privately to me,

you'll never serve him because he's on the run from ice. And so that's the one reason we couldn't sue him. Well, that's unfortunate. That is really unfortunate. I wanted discovery in that one. Yeah, I wanted to speak

of what Benny would have filed there. I mean, it would be interesting to see if Milo would have had photographic filings. You know, British libel laws are much weaker than in the United States. So actually, Benny, you could even pursue this case in the UK. It's even more favorable for you. That's a great point, Will. Benny Johnson, and by the way, Benny Johnson has more YouTube subscribers than us, which is an affront to my dignity and humanity.

So please subscribe right now if you are, if you are not already. But I do agree, Benny, please, I think. I think take this case all the way to Britain. I don't know why. Your integrity has been impugned, your character, your manhood, like this drug-fueled psychopath, illegal immigrant, has accused you of homosexual desires and wants and behavior. I don't know how you could let that stand, Benny.

Please take that to a British court. But what are the libel laws in Botswana or Liberia? which are more in El Salvador or do we have any idea can you get sued in Seacot is that possible? Yeah.

So also some discussions about how this is maybe splashing off onto MTG we're going to have more from MTV at the end of this show. Do stick around. Okay,

if you're bored by the Milo talk, we're going to make it all worth it. But she was harboring the legal immigrant. I don't know. I'm not exactly an expert on the laws there, but that's something that seems like that could be an issue for her. Well, and, you know,

Laura also pointed out that Milo, who's much more allied these days with the Candace Owens, Tucker Wing, you know, he, I believe was at Candice Owens's house for some period of time. So she's saying, well, Candace was harboring this person. So, you know, how many tendrils does Milo have? All right. More on MTG to come. A lot more. But first, the big story that we were planning on discussing here. It's just, it's all gay Republican Nazis these days, you know. It's all ball bearings and gay Republican Nazis. You have Milo and Kanye in the news. And then you also had a young man that worked for Mike Collins. Now, Mike Collins is the candidate for Senate and Georgia running against Sean Ossoff. He just, that guy, what was the old onion line about why do all these

homosexuals keep sucking my cock. It's an onion thing by a straight guy. This is kind of like Mike Collins. It's kind of like, why do all these white nationalists keep showing up on my campaign? They had a chief of staff, those on a white nationalist text thread. He had a son-in-law who possibly allegedly worked for him as well, who has posted a lot of white nationalist stuff online. And then he has this young man, Preston, who is a.

KKK Nazi Colombian Twink Yeah This is how things are in this country now Yeah So many of our leading Nazis Are Latino

Sam how do you feel About that as a Jew Not great Honestly I didn't particularly enjoy That one tweet That they found of his Where it's just the word

Twink in the form of a swastika I didn't like the fact that he just felt You know It was cool to pose in a KKK rub I did have a chuckle at the quote in the post piece, if I can read it, where they talk about this guy, Parra. His name is Preston Parra. And the post got him on the phone about this.

And he said, it goes like this. Parra said he's not a white supremacist because it goes against his religion. And he has a Colombian father. And then they quote the guy. I do think that the white race contributes more to the world, he said. I'm not a white supremacist, but they are superior. I don't know why that tickled me. Does he count himself among that as a Colombian?

It is interesting. These white Latinos. He's half. Yeah, these white Latinos are a problem. We got James Fishback too. Yeah. And, you know, I think that there may be some reflection that needs to be done or some research or some learning, you know, about kind of the Hitler's view of the master race.

I do think is a little bit misaligned. from them. You know, I'm really torn about this. Like he does a, he, this, the guy really seems to want attention. So I don't,

I don't, I don't really want to play his five minute video or any of it, because he really likes to have attention. But I did watch it all. And, and I also, thanks to producer Matt, because I did not find this.

And so I just want to say one more time, it was producer Matt that identified that he had a Wikifeet account. Oh, and Matt. I did produce that. I did peruse that as well. But in the video, you'll be surprised to learn that the Colombian gay Nazi twink does have some inconsistencies, I think, in his ideology. And he's going after Assov both for being Jewish and for being a pro-Palestine Jew.

So, you know, you have a lot of these kind of right-wingers that have fallen, gone the full horseshoe and kind of like come out. like almost pro, you know, basically pro-Palestine as not, not out of any affinity for Arabs or Muslims, but, you know, to use as part of their anti-Semitic attacks on Jews, not Preston. Preston, it's unclear what he wants for John Ossoff because he thought that John Ossoff was bad and dirty because of his religion, but also wrong to criticize Israel's conduct. And that made him pro-Palestinian. So you kind of can't win a few of your people on this one, Sam. No, he can't.

It's unfortunate. I don't really know else to say this guy's a total loser. I can't believe Matt found his Wikifeet's. Matt said, oh, the guy from WikiFeed is into politics, too. I'll pull this right up. Oh, yeah, I know that guy. Wait, he worked on the Mike Collins campaign. I've been studying his feet for years.

He's huge on the WikiPete message board, you know, community. I've been posting on. Wait, hold on. I know this isn't in our rundown. But maybe he should have been. You mentioned James Fishback. And Will and I, what's going on with his wife, Will? Yeah.

So Fishback has a lot of haters out there. And the haters are still going, even though he lost the primary for governor. And basically, people were noting that his wife on social media had changed. He had this kind of like quickie marriage. and now she's pregnant. They had kind of switched, she switched her name on social media from Victoria Fishback to her maiden name of Quimby. And so there was speculation that they had broken up or something.

Like, Mayor Quimby? Yes, of the Springfield Quimby's. And so I texted James and he said, I said, are you guys broken up? Was this all a fate? Was this a sham relationship or whatever? And he said, L.O.L. No, we're still together. She's sitting right next to me. Now look, this is a guy who has been proven in court.

to be a prolific liar. But that's the latest. Well, if those two kids can't make it, I don't know who's good. Yeah. The one other thing about Preston that I did get a chuckle from out of his like insane sociopathic fascist video was he was like, look. And this is one of those. You don't ever have to hand it to ISIS situations, but it's also maybe a broken clock

is right twice a day situation. And he's like, with the young Republican staffers these days. It's like, if you're not hiring, you kind of deranged fascists, like, you're getting a really low quality person. Like the types of people that want to go for Republicans who aren't like full groipers are like very low level, very stupid. It's just a little if you have to make these days. Yeah. So if you want high quality political operatives, you got to live with the Nazism. And I'm the thing is like it doesn't, it feels exaggerated.

but not so far off. No, I think that's very real. I mean, that's what all those text leaks. And obviously, you know, we've seen Rod Dreher putting out his 30 to 40% of GOP staffers or Groyper's statistic. All right. Up next, here it comes. I've got great news for you.
