If you guys genuinely believe that the iPhone wasn't created for the government or the higher-ups before the public had, you're a re*ard and a moron. How do you not believe that? How do you guys actually not believe that? You guys just think that the public is going to have things before the actual people above the, like, are you guys actually dumb?"Adin Ross wants to "break the cycle" about a white van being associated with "kidnapping"During the same Kick livestream on September 4, 2025, Adin Ross was going through listings of used Ford E-Series Econoline vans from 2011 and 2014.

I want to drive around in this van, open up the doors, and give out money. I want to break the cycle. Okay?"In other streamer news, Kai Cenat reacted to Drake's ICEMAN EPISODE 3, calling it "a**" and a "waste of his time."
