Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, an
American patriot. Prepare to embrace the
uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for
comforting lies. Here is civil liberties
enthusiast, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI
agent Kyle Seraphin. Well, hello my friends, welcome
to the Kyle Seraphin Show. Today's Monday.
It is June the 30th, last day of the month running right into the
4th of July week. And I hope we have an
interesting show put together for you today.
Some tragedy for sure. We're gonna be discussing the
situation out in Kootenai County, Idaho, where there was a
shooting north of Coeur d'Alene out in the woods of a terror
from the tree line sort of situation.
We'll, we'll play some of the 911 footage or calls.
We're going to play you the dispatch from the firefighters
when they were caught. This was resolved with this, the
shooter being shot dead or killing himself.
Hard to say right now. Still waiting on more details
coming out of that. But it is an interesting
reminder that you don't have to just be in an urban area to face
a an overwhelmingly terrifying threat, that it could come from
anywhere. It's a reminder that you are
responsible for your own safety. Guys should probably be carrying
a weapon system. If you don't know how to do
that, now's a great time, maybe 4th of July weekend as we
celebrate freedom, independence from a king.
Take it on yourself. Take on that responsibility of
being an armed citizen. Start getting it right.
If you're not doing it already, many of you already are.
All right, before we get into any of the stuff there, we're
going to talk about the big beautiful bill.
We're going to talk about socialist, democratic socialist.
I love that they put the word democratic in front of the word
socialist. I don't know why, but mainstream
media insists on using a democratic socialist as in they
don't want to just like grab everything and do a government
central authoritarian thing, which is what they want to do.
They just want to vote for that and then do it anyway.
Kind of just an interesting distinction.
Couple of examples of Donald Trump was right kind of fun.
The things that he tends to be right on are often related to
the economy. They're often related to his
predictions on foreign policy in the way that he manipulates
other countries or works with them.
I thought that was kind of good. So I've got some kind of like
some good checks on that as well.
You know, kind of a mixed bag of information that's going on out
there in the world and Democrats are still not really sure what
they want to get behind. This Democrat socialist energy
is exciting. But how do you sell that to the
the millionaires and the billionaires when the guy says
the billionaires shouldn't even exist, you know, kind of Bernie
Sanders style. So we'll get into that.
Before we do, let's talk about something that is the opposite
of billionaires and the opposite of democratic socialists.
It's my friends over at Patriot Coolers.
They are capitalists. You know, they believe in
turning out a good profit and then you pay them for it and
then you get to have it kind of that voluntary transaction.
This doesn't happen in a socialist society.
Patriot coolers, the website, Kyle, the promo code, save
yourself 10%. If you guys want to go buy them.
Today's Patriot cooler on the desk is a 20 oz cooler.
This is the one we took to church.
It's kind of a kind of low key when you go into downtown
Austin. My family has recently started
going down that way. If you're going to go to
downtown Austin, you don't want things that look kind of showy.
So this is actually the same exact color as the interior of
our minivan. Fun little note, if you want to
get the dark Gray, it looks perfect inside your Honda
Odyssey. Yeah, that's a little pro tip
from us. If you guys want a great
product, great company. They support American veterans.
They understand what it's all about.
They make a patriotic looking product and it also has all
patriotic packaging. Actually have some of my
favorite packaging. I always want to hold on to
their boxes because they're red, white and they're blue.
Even the way that they design their product.
There are 13 bars on here. There are 50 stars on the
bottom, which I well, I guess I could show it to you like this
as can see it right there. They're right in the glare of
the light. Boom, they make it so that they
remind you that this is a patriotic sort of thing that
you're buying and not not the alternate, not some Yeti, not
some Stanley, not some other nonsense.
Check them out there. Our longest sponsor.
They have been keeping the Kyle Serif and show on the air since
the beginning, going back to February of 23.
Really appreciate them and happy 4th of July to the folks at
Patriot coolers. If you guys want to ring in the
the freedom and the fireworks and all of that with a with a
new cooler that you're going to be using for many years to come
check it out. It says patriot right on the
front says patriot right on the lid when you lift it up.
Let's everyone know what you're all about.
All right, let's get into this today.
Let's get into it and by the way, link in the show
description there. Let's start with today.
We're going to deal with the big beautiful bill right up front.
I probably could actually just like talk about, I could
probably talk about product stuff like all day long.
My favorite products are my favorite things.
If people ever get me cornered in reality, like you, you find
out they're like, hey, like, is that a gun belt?
And it's like, oh, you ought to know about my gun belt.
Like I'll tell you about all the things that I own and the story
behind them and why I have them and what I paid for them and how
I like I that's the kind of thing that I remember.
It's like a very masculine. It's the opposite of what I
found women talking about. They talk about like the
relationship and the, and their relationship to a thing.
Like I'm about the thing, the thing.
Anyway, Speaking of the thing, the thing, let's talk about this
big beautiful bill, which is divided both Republicans.
It is divided Democrats, and it is disappointing.
At the very minimum, Donald Trump aims to change the nation
and further cement his power as a deadline looms for the big
beautiful bill. This is coming from CBS News.
And yeah, OK, so this is going to be a marathon, what everyone
keeps referring to as a vote a thon.
First of all, over the weekend, Chuck Schumer insisted that the
Senate read the bill in its entirety.
And this was a big controversy that they actually read the 900
plus pages of this bill out loud.
I don't know why it was a controversy.
It was not clear to me what was controversial about that.
It's probably the first time anybody actually read the damn
thing cover to cover. But of course, nobody sat in
there and listened to it. Senate's expected to kicked off
what is referred to as a marathon session on Monday after
the chamber debated the president's massive tax bill
into the wee hours of the morning.
It's Republicans worked to pass the centerpiece legislation, Mr.
Trump's second term agenda. The House narrowly passed it
last month, and Senate Republicans have been working to
put their mark of legislation treading carefully so as to not
throw off the delicate balance in the lower house.
The House will then need to approve the Senate's changes
before the bill can head to the president's desk to be able to
sign. There's a self-imposed deadline
of July the 4th to get this measure signed.
So couple things that were in here that have been removed.
One of them is good. There was an opportunity to sell
land, public land, and I guess it was being championed by Based
Mike Lee. You guys know him.
He is the senator from Utah. And Based Mike Lee had to issue
the following statement. Over the past several weeks,
I've been listening to a lot of members of the community and
local leaders and stakeholders across the country.
While there's been a tremendous amount of misinformation, in
some cases outright lies about my bill.
This was a bill selling off land the American people owned.
Many people brought forward sincere concerns, and because of
the strict constraints of the budget reconciliation process,
I'm unable to secure clear, enforceable safeguards to
guarantee that these lands would be sold only to American
families and not to the Chinese, not to Black Rock, and not to
any foreign interest. And for that decision or for
that reason, I've decided to withdraw the federal land sales
provision from the bill. There's more to it if you guys
want to go to his Twitter and read it.
So political pressure works and it works on these people, these
people who if they hear enough constituents clattering about
the things that they don't like, then you'll get things
withdrawn. That was a really awful
provision, selling off the private lands.
And interestingly enough, the claim was, is that it was going
to go to benefit these large like land holding entities
again, BlackRock and Vanguard and some of these other sort of
investment areas that would be able to go in and throw big
money in and buy federal land. You'll be shocked to find out
that one of the top donors to Mike Lee's campaign is
BlackRock. That's what I found in Open
Secrets. You guys can check that and see
if that's the case that you found it as well.
But when I went looking yesterday or the day before, the
Open Secrets were pretty clear that that was a, a major 6
figure donor to his campaign. It does make you kind of think
about who are these people serving?
What interests are they serving? One of the, one of the sort of
conciliatory things that we were going to get out of the big
beautiful bill was we were going to get a kind of a, a step back,
a rollback of our firearms rights.
It was going to come back to the people.
They had added something called the Short Act and the SAFE Act.
These were provisions that removed suppressors from the
National Firearms Act of 1934. And the the reason why that they
were able to touch that in the 1st place.
This is a reconciliation thing. So it's supposed to only impact
budget and taxes is that there was a taxation associated with
owning A suppressor. If you guys have never gone out
and bought an NFA item, if you've never tried to, like if
you're not even a gun owner, then you don't know about this.
And if you're a gun owner that's never bought an NFA item, it's
always kind of been kind of scary and and off putting.
For most of the time that I've been a gun owner, I did not own
any of these items. At some point in time, one of my
buddies who's a prior green Beret just kicked me off.
Actually, I think he's still like a reservist green Beret.
He kicked me off the ledge and he was like just throw it in
your cart and buy it and figure it out.
And so I bought my first suppressors while I was an FBI
agent. I bought 6 up at the same time.
If you guys have never done this process, it's actually way
easier than you think. It gets easier every single
year. And the reason why our companies
like Silencer Central and Silencer Shop out of Austin and
some other places that have really centralized the process
and made it something that you can do.
And $200 is a real pain in the ass to pay, especially when
you're paying the government for the privilege of owning your own
thing. And not only do you pay $200 tax
damp to the federal government, you still pay all of your state
sales taxes. So whatever the sticker price
is, it just jumps up and up and up and you're really just paying
for a bunch of stuff. At this point, I'm about $3000
invested in tax stamps, which is awful because I literally paid
the federal government for the privilege to own my own thing.
And so they added this, this SAFE Act, which is the hearing
protection part or the Hearing Protection Act, I want to say,
and they called it something else.
And then the other one is called the Short Act, which was going
to take what are called short barreled rifles.
These are rifles with a barrel length and shotguns as well that
are less than 16 inches. You can also kind of fudge that
a little bit with like a 14 1/2 if you have a long suppressor
and it's pinned and Weld and all this.
But it was going to take all this stuff off the National
Firearms Act and the registration.
And so now people are kind of playing around with the idea.
Well, maybe we can just reduce the tax part of it.
The reason they removed this from the bill, by the way, it
happened in the Senate. It did pass the House with both
with one of those, the Senate added in the second piece of it.
I can't remember if it was cans or or rifles, but they added
both of them into the Senate. They were debating these things
and then the parliamentarian who's supposed to be a referee
on whether or not things are in and out of bounds decided that
it wasn't. And this is according to the
bird rule. And the bird rule is this
decision that the, if you were going to have a lesser number of
votes, remember our, our constitution requires that
you're supposed to have a 2/3 majority and you're supposed to
be able to get 60 close to 2/3, right?
60 are supposed to be able to vote, to be able to pass
anything out of the Senate. But they created this thing so
that they could get budgets through because it's so
contentious how screwed up our omnibus build systems are that
if they could just get 51 votes, then they'll be able to pass
these budgetary reconciliation ideas.
And So what we've seen was interesting.
Aaron Stevenson sent me a little AI snippet, a paragraph today
about the United States Constitution.
And what it said is that the the original delegates that created
our Constitution, they spent less than 100 days debating and
writing. It was a four month period and
they only met for less than 100 days.
I think it was 89 total days, might have been slightly more
than that, but it was under 100 days to be able to put together
the constitution. And then we spent the last 200
years dismantling it for all practical purposes.
So it's kind of interesting to me that the one thing that the
parliament, parliamentarian, I really hate that term, decided
is that this does not fit into the accepted rules for
reconciliation. And therefore we couldn't get
the thing that firearms owners were really most interested in.
You're going to turn off a lot of gun owners and buyers.
I would rather look in the eye of the enemy Democrats that
think that they should outright ban our ability to own these
things. I would rather look them in the
eye and know that they're my enemy than like suggest that
there's a Mike Lee who's going to try to sell off our lands to
one of his big donors that we're going to deal with with a a Thom
Tillis who's going to go out there and and back door it out.
This was always, I'm sure the plan, by the way, folks, this
the, the inclusion of these things.
It wasn't going to pass reconciliation, not under the
bird bill or not the under the bird rule as it's written, as I
understand it. And I've had a couple of
attorneys reach out and kind of tell me the same thing, that
this was always sort of like obvious, it was red meat for the
base and then pull it out in the last minute.
And the reason, by the way, that the parliamentarian removed it
from the ability of the, of the Senate to be able to pass this
along. It's really simple.
It's because the fundamental nature of the National Firearms
Act of 1934 and the tax stamp that goes along with these these
controlled items, it's regulatory in nature and not
revenue and taxation based. Isn't that interesting?
You can read the plain text of the Second Amendment and know
that you're not supposed to infringe.
And I would say that an all reasonable person's mind, a
regulation is an infringement. And so when they did this stuff,
it's so clear that that was the intention.
But the parliamentarians ruling should actually lead to a
constitutional question of whether or not it's even
constitutional to do any of this stuff.
In any case, I've got I've got Tillis, Senator Tillis's
statement, he obviously is having a difficult time getting
this thing through and this is going to end up ending his
political career. It sounds like he may have been
offered a position in private industry.
He's going to go and leave. So he made an announcement over
the weekend that he's not going to run for re election.
So you've got a Senate election that will happen for his seat
after 18 months when he's done. There's a couple others that
probably need to announce as well.
But it is the big problem with these massive quote UN quote
omnibus bills. I found a little clip of Tom
Massey. Some of you guys like him.
I do. Some of you don't like him, you
think he's ineffective, that's OK too.
This discussion of what is the real problem, I think we can
actually agree on, which is that when you've lumped in all of
this crap, you're going to lump in whether or not we're going to
tax suppressors, along with whether or not we're going to
fund Medicaid for the states, for various things that you're
going to put military funding and all those other nonsense.
You're going to put 950 pages worth of federal legislation
under one single vote. Then you're always going to find
things that people are going to say, well, I had to vote for
that crap bill because otherwise they're going to crucify me
about this other thing. And what we've really seen is
that most members of Congress don't seem to have any
principles. I get that that could be
problematic for folks when they look and say, well, this guy is
not effective, But you need to have ideological grounding.
I, I listened to Matt Gates the other day and he actually made a
great point. Trump's bill does some things.
There's some things that we would like in it.
There's some, you know, funding for Border Patrol and
deportations and all those other stuff.
And that's great. And at the same time, you have
to have a balance. That is the whole point of the
the debate that goes on in Congress.
You have to have a balance where some people are ideological
forces that do not bend so that the party doesn't completely
lose access to the anchor. Massey's explaining the the way
that they leverage a lot of these people and quote and quote
put them over the barrel. And he's not wrong here, folks.
It's it's frustrating to see that that is someone that you're
going to go and attack when the real problem is the same reason
why the the Matt Gaetz and company had a vacation of the of
the seat, the speaker's seat with Kevin McCarthy.
In theory, we were supposed to get single item appropriation
bills. In other words, Congress would
take all of the monies that they wanted to appropriate to a
single thing at a time, like whatever that goal or project
was, and they allotted that money specifically.
That's the hard work of doing the job of a legislator.
It doesn't sound like fun. I'm not interested in doing
that. I don't think many of you would
be either writing up funding bills individually and then
passing them. So what they do is they skirt
around this, They do theater, they do all of these stupid
hearings that we continue to see.
And then you get this kind of stuff where they all come
together and go, oh, crap, We have this deadline that we
made-up for ourselves and we all have to pass, by the way, screw
you on the guns and screw you on the freedoms and screw you on
the national debt forever, that kind of thing.
So here's a little Massey clip. He's talking to Theo Von.
This may be a comedian, but I think they're talking about
something that that is it's graspable by most people.
I'll tell you right now, it's this is this would be 50% of
solving the problem. Get rid of the giant bills.
OK, The omnibus bills, the continuing resolutions and even
the big beautiful bill. Bring up omnibus bill.
We looked it up the other day when Mr. Vance was here, but I
just want to go over it again. And omnibus bill is proposed law
that covers a number of diverse or unrelated topics.
So it's not even really fair because you only get one vote on
the bill, correct? And, and, and so typically an
omnibus bill, it includes at least 12 other bills.
Why not put that shit on the floor one at a time?
I agree. And and then that way your, you
can go to your representative or your senators and say, why did
you vote for that? Right now?
They can say, well, Theo, I had to vote for it.
I had a pay raise for soldiers, right?
They literally will put a pay raise for soldiers in every
freaking giant bill so that if you vote against it, you have to
go back home and watch TV ads that say he voted against a pay
raise for the soldiers, right? Even though he may have voted
for 90 other amazing things on the bill, right?
Right. And that was the one, that was
one thing that was tied in there that if you went this way, you
know, it may have been like oxygen for grandmothers, right?
Literally, there probably is that in there, but if you vote
for oxygen for grandmother's and you cannot, they're not going to
give. So I, I what you're saying, I
voted against oxygen for grandmother so many times, they
can't even run that ad anymore. It doesn't even seem real.
So the, the, the structure of the problem is really clear.
It's that you have unelected people.
This is going to be your staffers that are going to be
sitting there and servicing the folks that are that are running
it. You've got judges that are going
to weigh in and all the other kind of things they're going to
say. Well, this actually didn't pass
legally. You're going to have lawsuits
that are going to come in if somebody doesn't abide by the
the proper, the proper restrictions that they've
opposed on themselves. And as you guys are correctly
pointing out in the chat, yeah, the the parliamentary can can be
overturned either by the the Senate Majority Leader or could
be overruled by the president of the Senate.
Those are all real. Of course.
That wasn't going to happen though because they didn't
actually even put this thing in the 1st place.
And by the way, no Democrats are going to vote for that thing if
it were going to be stand alone. Everything they want to do is to
limit your individual freedoms, which is wild.
It's wild. Do you remember growing up when
they referred to the people on the political left as liberals?
self-described liberals. They do the most illiberal
things you can imagine. I don't understand where that
word came from. In theory, they're talking about
some sort of like social liberties.
Those actually end up leading to like, the lack of freedoms, and
they are more than happy to restrict yours.
Very strange. How about this other little
thing, Speaking of unelected people like parliamentarians
that are shutting things down with another little kind of
interesting moment where the Supreme Court has decided to do
something out of common sense that regular Americans could
read in black and white and go, yeah, District Court judges
should not be able to impose nationwide injunctions.
The issue is, is something kind of like about the certification
of class. Most people who've ever been
involved in a class action lawsuit, you've probably just
gotten an e-mail or maybe you got something in writing and
letters. I remember getting one from
Columbia House back in the day. You guys remember you used to
have like the CD of the Month club or something like that.
You'd go and you'd sign up and they would send you like 20
different punk rock CDs or 20 different like Doo wop 50s
things, whatever. And I guess they were scamming
in some way, shape or form. So you would get a letter from
the attorneys that had filed that it's certified as a class
notifying that you might be a member of the class because they
would take all of the different people that had bought CDs from
Columbia House Records, whatever it was.
And then you'd, you know, fill out your little thing and you'd
send it back to them and you'd get a check for like $9.37
because they send it out to the millions of people, right?
Everybody got that. Now you get it in via e-mail and
they're like you were part of the Apple whatever subscription
service back in the 1973 or whatever.
They would give you this thing. They would give you a time
frame. And if you were a customer
during those things, you may be eligible for part of the
settlement, right? So the biggest part of that
hurdle and the biggest reason why these attorneys do it is
because if they can open up the pool of people that are affected
and certify as a class, we're actually going through this with
the FBI right now. FBI employees should be a class
who were discriminated against in the COVID tyranny of the
Biden era. It's it's pretty objectively
clear that we would constitute a class, but you have to go
through and certify and there's all this rigmarole that goes
with it. There's all this expense that
the people who are the original class actors.
I'm actually the I'm, I'm referred to as the class agent
because I am the classic case of all the things that were done
wrong were actually done to me individually.
So I represent the face of the class.
They can put my name on the front of it versus fill in the
blank Attorney general in the case of Garland.
Now it'll be under Bondi. Whatever, right?
The issue with the nationwide injunction is, is that they had
basically assume class status for the country that they are
all going to be constituting a class without going through any
of the issues of certifying as a class.
And on Friday, the Supreme Court finally handed down a ruling 63
ruling in favor of the Trump administration, one of his day
one executive orders that effectively said that it would
end birthright citizenship, which he probably can't do.
The District Court judge can't make that decision is what
they've decided. Now the real fireworks out of it
came when they went and did some analysis back, not just like the
what what the end up result was. And and everybody likes to know
that District Court, by the way, even even the the quote UN quote
liberals on the court, the leftists, they actually used to
agree with this stuff because District Court judges were also
imposing restrictions on the Biden administration.
I was a beneficiary of one of those and even that seemed
ridiculous. There was a District Court judge
in the Southern District of Texas who ruled a nationwide
injunction on the Biden vaccine mandate for all federal workers
had to be put down. Not just the members of the
people that were in the lawsuit, which I was one of those, not
just the people who were affected inside the Southern
District of Texas and the people in the lawsuit that might be
reasonable. No nationwide.
And that was eventually affirmed.
It was denied by a someone in the appeals court that it was
denied again by the I think a three judge panel.
We have a real like long process to get to these sort of rulings.
And then finally was put into in front of an end bank review of
the of the 5th Circuit in the 5th Circuit sided with us, us
being the federal employees and said, yeah, we do think it.
And by the time you get to a judge, a judge panel like that,
that might be the top of the line.
Most are not going to actually end up in front of SCOTUS.
So OK, fine. But the first District Court
that weighs in on it probably shouldn't actually rule on this.
Now we got kind of a fun little clip of this this discussion.
This is Fox News trying to cover down on this.
The most interesting thing out of this was Amy Coney Baird in
the majority decision, lambasting the dissenting
opinion of not just Sotomayor who came forward and and wrote
the the descent, but Justice Katanji Brown Jackson or Katanji
Jackson Brown, whatever she goes by these days, wrote some of the
dumbest nonsense that you've ever seen.
And I was perusing some of the screenshots from her from her
idiotic descent. And the best was is that she
basically wrote it like a social media post.
There were points in there where she said dot, dot, dot, wait for
it. I shit you not.
Like I, I'm, I'm flabbergasted that this dumb vessel is sitting
there in that August court and making decisions that affect all
of Americans. We essentially have one vote
that will always side for the most retarded thing because
that's who she is. She's a dumb Midget that sits on
that court and says the stupidest possible things.
I saw a compilation in just the last year of the number of times
where she explained that she didn't understand the argument
being made and it's probably a rhetorical device.
She was like, if I don't I don't think I understand your argument
or am I understanding your argument correctly and then she
says it wrong. There are like dozens and dozens
and dozens of examples in just the last 18 months of her saying
those on recording. She's also the most spoken of
the Supreme Court justices. She speaks more than anyone
else. It's pretty offensive because
she's the most junior justice. She knows the least quite
obviously. And she writes things like a
child. She was really excited.
If you guys saw we did a video where show she was on Broadway
the other day. And when I say she's like a
Midget, she's like shorter than my wife.
My wife is not even 5 feet tall. So anyway, this is Fox News
talking about kind of the RIP on it and we'll continue to go
onward. I'm going to, yeah.
I, I'm actually flabbergasted with how how stupid these people
can be. And it just shows you that the,
the people on the political left, particularly the
presidents that have been appointing these people.
Sotomayor used to have the, the crown of of kind of like queen
dummy. And this woman just displaced it
without even trying. Mrs. Jackson wrote a dissent and
she said, I agree with everything that Justice
Sotomayor said, but I have to add my own two cents to this
thing and boy is it scorched earth.
She goes on to say in her dissent, perhaps the degradation
of our rule of law regime would happen anyway, but this court's
complicity in the creation of a culture of disdain for lower
courts, their rulings in the laws they interpreted rules
surely hasten the downfall of our governing institutions,
enabling our collective demise. She goes on from there, but
clearly she sees this dissent decision as something she
obviously disagrees with, but as a very threat to the structure
of our courts and our institutions as they now exist.
I understand there is something that Justice Barrett said in the
majority with respect to answering Justice Jackson's
dissent. I'm trying to take back to that.
But also a reminder for folks on Justice Barrett was a law
professor for a long time before she got into the world of being
a federal judge. She also taught classes in Civil
Procedure, which is one of the first things that I had my first
year in law school, you get as a first year student.
But it gets to the heart of how things proceed, how the court
system works. So it does make sense now that
even being a more junior justice, why she would have
written this opinion. And it gets to this opinion a
lot of those questions that you've heard our other panelists
bring up here about certification of class actions,
It takes a lot of work. It is not easy to do.
And there are cautions throughout this opinion that
District Court judges, not now, simply default to that.
Here's another thing that's worth knowing.
That's Fox News. They're actually doing legal
analysis, God forbid. And you can actually hear the
anchors. They get bored and they
immediately want to pivot away and they want to go to whatever
like the controversial slap is because they don't actually want
to do like long term analysis of anything that makes sense.
I'm going to read you from Barrett's majority opinion.
This is one of the more sort of like scorched earth like smashes
on Hitanji Jackson Browne's stupidity.
Tony Barrett wrote this quote. Justice Jackson, however,
chooses A startling line of attack that is tethered neither
to these sources nor, frankly, to any doctrine whatsoever,
waving away attention to the limits on judicial power.
As a mind lemmingly technical query, the post she offers a
vision of of the judicial role that would make even the most
ardent defender of the judicial supremacy blush.
In her telling, the fundamental role of the courts is to order
everyone to include the executive, to follow the law,
full stop. And then she says this basically
saying that she's a retarded Midget.
We will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at
odds with more than two centuries worth of president,
not to mention the Constitution itself.
We observe only this. Justice Jackson decries an
imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary.
They also mentioned that she skipped over that part, which
was a part that was part of the analysis that they had done and
was part of the hearings and some of the evidence given
forward. Because analyzing the governing
statute involves boring, quote, UN quote, legal ease, absolute
roast in judicial ways in the way that they do.
A nice way of saying this woman is probably too dumb to be
sitting on this bench. And they'll never say that
because they all want to end. Do they want to preserve the
continuity of the actual Supreme Court?
But at the end of the day, we're talking about, we're talking
about a court that has some such guaranteed ideological actors.
It's three. And plus they, they all side
together, all three of them. I don't think I've seen any of
them ever dissent from each other.
Guys, let me know if that's the case and why maybe one of them
just went like farther to the left.
But it's like it they've they've chosen their politics and they
were chosen specifically for the way they're going to vote on all
things because they are in lockstep ideologically.
And it's, it's gross because they can't, they can't have a
fair look at something like this where in theory they would
actually want to care about, you know, the one thing that they
all swore to uphold, which is the Constitution.
And we've even heard them debate.
If you can debate what is a woman, you can probably debate
what is words on a page that are pretty clear and black letter,
which is why we're not going to get suppressors fixed, which is
why you can't take these cases too.
I've, I've had conversations with, with attorneys that bring
lawsuits on behalf of Gun Owners of America and a firearms policy
coalition and so on and so forth.
And at the end of the day, we basically allowed our civil
liberties to be eroded over and over again by a Congress that
doesn't seem to understand what their oath is and a judiciary
that doesn't seem to have any sort of nuts to be able to stand
up and do the thing that make any sense.
So before we get any deeper into that, if you guys want to
protect yourself from government and from big tech, from
corporate America and criminals and so on and so forth, you can
check out my friends over at Silent.
I actually brought the bag up here.
I have the new E3 everyday. I'm backing off the mic here,
the everyday Faraday backpack. This I'd I liked the way it
looked when I was at SHOT Show. I love the way that it actually
feels like I'm I'm such a gear nut.
This is now carrying all of my live streaming gear and it has a
laptop so I can actually take it on the road with me.
It's got room for spare clothing in there.
It fits a lot like a go ruck if you've ever worn one of those
it's very modular and rectangular big fan fantastic
product, something that I'm excited about taking into the
field with me and doing some trips with if you guys have not
checked them out again, check out my friends over at silence
slnt.com slash Kyle. That's the E3 everyday Faraday
backpack that I have. You've got, you've got Aaron
there covering it. He's the, he's the owner of the
company. He's showing you what it is.
It has two individual Faraday spaces.
It's got a spot for your sunglasses that's padded.
It's really, really, really well thought out.
If you're looking for an awesome product to be able to travel
with and you want to be able to keep your stuff away from like
prying eyes and government agencies and people that might
be able to grab access to, I don't know, all of the, all the
technology that's constantly pinging out of all of your
phones and your tablets and your this and that.
The RF signals that are constantly coming out there can
be blocked. And they're all blocked by these
Faraday products made by silent again, incoming and outgoing
signals. They're what makes your vice on
the grid. If you want to make them
invisible from the outside world, you can simply just drop
them in. And then you just close the lid
and boomed. I've got 1 sitting here on the
desk for my phone so it doesn't ring during the podcast.
Check them out. Great products, well made, well
thought out, really well designed by people who actually
probably carried a backpack before in their life.
It's slnt.com/kyle. They've got sleeves, they've got
pants, they've got all kinds of other technologies.
You should look into them. Say 15%.
Plus you'll get free shipping on qualified orders at SLN
t.com/kyle that's silent with no vowels.com/kyle promo code Kyle
again will save you that 15%. I just look today.
They've got the, the the backpack on there that you can
find, which is waterproof. And I've actually used my
waterproof backpack walking through a rainstorm.
And you never know that you're going to be psyched about having
your undies be dry when you go through ATSA until you have a
waterproof backpack in a pouring rainstorm and you're like, I'm
too dumb to carry an umbrella with me, but I'm not too dumb to
carry a waterproof backpack. In any case, let's get a little
deeper into some of the other stuff on here.
I wanted to also present this while we're talking about the
judiciary, some things that are kind of like, I don't know, make
a little bit of sense. This is the Justice Department
pledging action. Finally, you're going to see
people being defended in religious institutions, which is
something that we've had a problem with historically.
The DOJ was ignoring things like the face Act.
Of course, they're going to couch it under the terms of
terrorism to make it into the end of our show today was we
talk about this shooting, which we don't yet have a motive for
in Idaho. This is a guy, the story here is
talking about the the Tree of Life synagogue.
That's what you're seeing on the screen.
Justice Department and specifically Harmony Dillon in
the civil rights division of DOJ said that they are going to be
focusing on things that she refers to as a form of
terrorism. Attacks on churches meant to
terrorize people, meant to deter people from going there and
making everyone feel unsafe. There's a couple different
examples of the Justice Department.
They just occurred a 25 year prison sentence for a guy out of
Virginia who was convicted in targeting a Haymarket, VA
church, which is just in the DC area on the outskirts there,
prosecutors found a written manifesto.
He walked inside Sunday church services with handguns and
magazines and ammunitions and knives.
And he wanted to go and do that canister, a bear spray in his
nearby car. They also got a guy in Arizona
who was doing the same sort of thing.
He was planting backpacks inside of congregations inside of
Arizona, in Colorado and California and trying to
basically like leave them in fear of a of an explosive
device, which reminded me that nobody has caught the pipe
bomber yet. So if you are going to go leave
an explosive device somewhere, I'm not making this
recommendation, but I did say it on social media early this
weekend. You know, there are places where
you can safely apparently just leave a pipe bomb and never have
to worry about anyone coming after you.
That would be in Washington, DC, one of the most surveilled
cities in America. You can get away with doing
that. But our DOJ is going to crack
down on the people going after churches.
That's good. My family and I started going to
the a little bit more traditional, we'll say Latin
Mass that happens down at the the Cathedral in Austin.
And we went to a couple of different ones, an afternoon and
A and a morning over the last two weekends.
And there is something to be said about stepping back into
that, that moment. But it also, and that moment
means, like when you walk into a Mass where they're speaking
Latin the way they did 1000 years ago, the way they did 1500
years ago, it does feel like you're connecting with a
tradition. You should be able to be in that
space and not be worried that someone is going to walk in and
take potshots or try to destroy the outside of the facility and
spray paint it and so on. And that is something that
disappeared over the last four years.
If you guys have seen the violations of the FACE Act, I
had somebody approach me and say, like, you know, you must
approve the Biden administration.
Like, consider who you're talking to.
One of the the allegations that I made was that the FBI had
completely targeted speech specifically, not just
traditional Latin Mass, which has made me more interested in
it. In fact, I think the FBI made a
big mistake with that sort of infiltration attempt.
What that they were putting out there or the idea that you could
mitigate white supremacy, by the way, not all white people when
you go into the Latin Mass in Austin, TX, probably not the
same anywhere. But the idea that you could
mitigate white supremacy by putting sources into traditional
Latin mash parishes or traditional Latin Mass
congregations, It's absurd. And what's the opportunity cost?
The opportunity cost is like paying attention to, I don't
know, like actual hate groups and actual A holes doing stuff
like this. The if you follow the Southern
Poverty Law Center's hate map to try to generate your cases, then
you have an FBI that's serving like this ideological master and
not the one that should be out there.
In theory, we actually should be paying attention to like what do
bad people do? Did they break the law?
It doesn't matter whether we like it or not.
If they were burning down abortion clinics and we don't
like abortion clinics, we still don't think that they should be
going after that. So face that violation.
Get them. But if they're going into a,
let's say, Catholic Church in San Francisco, CA, like we saw
in 2020 and 21, and they're disrupting and they're spraying
spray paint or they're scaring people or they're stopping
people from their ability to worship as defined by the
statute, why were there no prosecutions?
So at least Harmony Dillon is doing a good job.
I think she's one of the wins that has been in the Trump
administration. And if you guys watched our
episode 600 over the weekend, we had Ron Coleman talking about a
couple things that might actually stop a lot of this.
And the simplest answer is we just had people dressing like
grown-ups. It's hard to act like a complete
buffoon and, you know, run around with pride flags or try
to chain close the doors of a church or graffiti things if
you're wearing a suit and you look like a grown up.
So his answer to a lot of the stuff was like, maybe you just
start trying to enforce some standards, Which is to say, if
we actually had shame and people could look like ridiculous
fools, you'd go out there and realize that you look like a
ridiculous fool. You can't be in public and
you're not taken seriously. Maybe these people would
actually straighten their act up.
Kind of an interesting thought. In any case, we're seeing that
Speaking of people that are not got their act up and do not have
things serious, we got this guy going on still.
And I think this might be one of my funniest and favorite stories
of the last year, the story of Zoran Mandami.
I'm not from New York. I don't actually care who's the
mayor of New York, but I am fascinated with who might be the
mayor when it's this guy. By the way, the woman that's
standing to the right, if you're looking on the screen right now,
has like a pretty deep cleavage cut.
And for some reason, it feels like that's very immodest for a
guy who's supposedly a traditional Muslim.
Kind of funny to see he's willing to like bend the rules.
So I don't know how good of a Muslim or how how austere or
practicing he is. There's very, very amusing
things about a man who steps forward and says we should not
have billionaires in a city that gave us the current president
who's a billionaire in a city that is full of multiple
billionaires in the center of American finance.
In many ways, there's a reason why the Southern District of New
York and the New York field office is one of the more
powerful and it's one of the most important for white collar
fraud investigations because all the centers of finance are in
New York. And this is a guy saying that we
shouldn't have billionaires in that city or at all.
And again, as I told you, they really key in on this idea that
he's a democratic socialist. He's democratically in favor of
taking your stuff. It turns out the founders of
this country had some real strong theories on democracy and
what you can and can't do and why maybe democracy wasn't the
right answer. They did think that the people
should have a say, but like sort of like dispassionately and
educated. And that was actually the key.
I've got some fun little quotes from people like Alexander
Hamilton who are talking about the that fundamental idea that
if our population is educated, if they understand the nature of
what it is that they want and what is being proposed, you
know, like not a 950 page bill that nobody can digest, but like
a something that you could go, hey, do you want this kind of
money going to this kind of thing?
And people would go yay or nay. And my representative should
answer accordingly. Then you're fine.
Or you could just stuff it full of like pork and nonsense and
say you voted against, you know, pay raises for soldiers like Tom
Massey was indicating. Anyway, here is this guy
discussing why we shouldn't have billionaires.
Of course it was fawningly covered by NBC News Go figure.
And also he got an appearance on Meet the Press on MSNBC.
Ignore the fact that the the audio and the video are kind of
dis linked on this. I, I don't know why I got
unlinked, but that's the, this is the way that I downloaded the
clip. So it's not your, it's not your
eyes. You're not, you're not screwed
up. Here we go.
You are a self-described democratic socialist.
Do you think that billionaires have a right to exist?
I don't think that we should have billionaires because
frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality.
And ultimately what we need more of is equality across our city
and across our state and across our country.
And I look forward to work with everyone, including
billionaires, to make a city that is fairer for all of them.
He wants to make the city fair and he wants to make sure that
these things about hate crimes are concerned.
Again, we talked about how the Justice Department is going out
there and saying that they're going to defend people in
churches. That sounds like it kind of
aligns with what this guy's saying.
It turns out he doesn't actually have to have any consistency
across the board because he's going to resist the Trump
administration. But the Trump administration is
saying a lot of the same things that he is at least talking
about protecting voting groups that he wants to get.
This guy got a lot of young Jewish people to vote for him,
even though he's sort of like an anti Zionist Free Palestine, you
know, it doesn't seem to have any guiding principles here.
He is talking about stopping people from danger and hate
speech and using the police that he wants to defund to do police
things to protect folks. The same way you just heard
Harley Harmony Dylan doing over at DOJ.
And I know that Jewish New Yorkers, like Jewish Americans,
are fearful in this moment of anti-Semitism.
They're fearful especially after the horrific attacks that we saw
in Washington, DC and in Boulder, Co.
And they're fearful also in conversations that I have heard
myself about life in this city. And I spoke to a Jewish man in
Williamsburg not too many weeks ago who told me about the fact
that he now locks the door that he used to close that he used to
keep open for for years because of a fear of who may come in.
I spoke to a friend of mine after October 7th who told me
about going to his synagogue for Shabbat services and hearing the
door open behind him and turning around with a tremor going up
his back, not knowing who was walking in and what they wished
for them. And ultimately, it's through the
conversations I've had with Jewish New Yorkers that I have
developed a proposal for the Department of Community Safety
that would include an 800% increase in funding for hate
crime prevention programs. Because ultimately we cannot
simply say that anti-Semitism has no home in this city or no
place in this country. We have to do more than talk
about it, we have to tackle it. And that's what we will do.
Through this funding and through this commitment, we will root
out bigotry across the five boroughs.
You're going to get rid of racism and bigotry in New York.
I'm not sure the government is the the proper entity for that.
I don't think it actually has the power or the ability to.
You wonder how someone like this can actually get voted to the
top of the top of the Democrat primary ticket.
It's because people are dumb. This is not a New Yorker.
This woman that you're about to hear from, she's been in New
York for three years. For those of you that are from
New York, you know that that's not a New Yorker.
For those of you that are from Texas, you know that wouldn't be
a Texan. You've been here three years.
Like, welcome to Texas. Like, shut your mouth and
listen. This lady is a Gen.
Z person and she's going to tell you that Mandami represents a
lot of the focus that Gen. Z is interested in.
I assume that they want to stop hate crimes and violence and
danger, but we'd really not like to say it out loud.
This might be. And the up talk is is priceless.
This to me is why you get this kind of guy out there because we
have dumb people that are in our electorate overwhelmingly not
smart, not smart enough to actually have the right to vote.
And I'm going to tell you my, my final take piece on this because
I had a quarter million. I had a little like viral post
that went out over the weekend which proved to me that it's not
just this lady in this age bracket, it's all age brackets
and it's all people in this country have the potential of
being really, really dumb and snapping to judgments that they
don't have the information to make.
Anyway, let's enjoy a little bit of Millennial or Gen.
Z up talk, which is going to make us all on a Pew.
Aside asking people what they think about the upcoming mayoral
election, how long have you lived in New York for?
Three years. Three years.
And who are you planning on voting for?
I'm planning on voting for Zoran.
Can you tell me why? Yeah, I believe in.
He has a lot of principles that I really believe in.
I like where he stands on freezing rent, making public
transit cheap and free, making buses free in particular.
And I really like that he stands for a lot of Gen.
Z beliefs. What would you say are the Gen.
Z beliefs? I'm not going to disclose that
because I, I think I want to keep some of those to myself.
But you know, happy to have a conversation in private.
I'm kind of happy to have like a conversation in private.
Like, I don't want to disclose the Gen.
Z beliefs that I just said because like, I don't actually
know what they are. The Gen.
Z beliefs apparently are that you just have no idea.
Like, how are you going to have free buses?
You're going to now this is the party that cries about the, the
wrongs of slavery, right? How are you going to pay for the
buses? You're going to require the
labor of people to drive said buses and maintain said buses
and put and build said buses and it's going to be free.
Is there anything that these people have ever seen that's
free? It just doesn't really like it's
like a Gen. Z thing.
I went ahead, but these people, we need to just start walking
away. When people talk like that,
that's that's Part 1. And then you find these like
randomly common sense sort statements.
I found this clip this morning before I went going because I
needed a not like a cleanse. I needed to know that not
everybody is dumb when they speak and they're young and
younger than me and that lady's obviously younger than me.
I watched a great clip of a guy in his 50s and you said it's
really odd, like walk around and be like the old person.
And if you're over the age of 40, then you start looking at
everybody. You think that those people, you
look at that person, you be like, this person could be a
peer to me. They could hold a job in the
same place where I work. They can vote in the same way
that I can. They can raise children.
They can make financial decisions.
They can stand up at a meeting. They can run for office.
They can have real power in society and in many ways are a
peer. But they don't look at you and
think, Oh yeah, you're a peer. And why is that?
Because you have experience and they don't.
It's real clear. How about common sense, which
used to be just sort of sucked into the existence of of your
everyday life. You were just overwhelmed by
common sense before we had this Internet era where people could
react. Here's the here's the problem
with the the viral post I had. I put a post out which was
clearly a joke over the weekend that said it was Zoran Mandami,
the guy that we're talking about, this mayoral candidate.
And it was a fake post that was generated by a fake Twitter
account count meme generator that said he was laughing at the
destruction of the Challenger in and the and the post was dated
in 1986. And I had, I kid you not,
hundreds of people informed me that the Internet didn't exist
in 1986, that Twitter didn't exist in 1986, and that this guy
didn't exist in 1986. And they were mad at me because
they had no sense of humor because obviously that's the
joke. The joke.
And by the way, my my quote was, if you guys listen to this
podcast, you'll know exactly that I'm full of it right there.
I said this post is, is verified Colon true?
It's verified true. It's verified true that a guy
who was born in 1991 or 1992, who's 33 years old, tweeted
about the Challenger in a negative way seven years before
he was born, six years before he was born in Uganda.
Because that's the kind of thing that we would do, right?
People were very incensed and those people spanned all age
brackets and they were so happy to point out that you're wrong.
It's the same people that will tell you that, well, communism's
never been chilled. They tried that far.
Like we have, like these Jansi, these Jansi ballets on these
tanks. We control all these people
because we have dumb people voting and a lot of this stuff
seems like it's been pushed out in the education program.
And I had a nice chat with one of my neighbors the other day.
We sat down and we talked about it.
You can't tell me it's a black or white issue When you watch
kids play. There's something that is
happening in the schools and in these institutions that make
certain people believe that they're a victim.
There are something that are happening culturally.
It took 100 years to absolutely destroy, devastate and eliminate
the like most black families to the point where they were by
default having higher marriage rates and more stability in
their families because they had so little.
And they were trying to like climb out of poverty that they
knew that the right answer was staying together.
And then sometime after the Great Society all kicked out
there and the Civil Rights Acts and all the things that were set
up under 1 guise, all it did was divide people.
And like, then you start hearing some sane voices again.
I told you I was going to give you kind of like a mental
cleanse from the up talk and the stupidity.
Check this out. This man has he's a rapper,
which I probably don't like. His music, if I had to guess, is
saying something truly clear. And you know what?
Maybe you have to leave the United States to look back in.
It's one of the great reasons that you do a study abroad
program. Nothing will make you want to
live in America more than living in another country.
In my experience, I never had any interest whatsoever in
hanging out in another country after I lived there.
I'm like Nope, I'm good look at this hold on before we go over
to that. That's not what I'm trying to
push. How about this button?
Look, this is our chat right here.
Our our our stream has failed over on rumble, but it's working
everywhere else. So you guys understand that's a
rumble problem and I'm sorry that rumble is screwed up.
I actually had a a couple of different instances.
There may be some cyber attacks that are happening on the
Iranians have said that they are going to continue to push on the
United States cyber infrastructure.
But the end of the day, if you have a problem and you can't
find what we're doing, like always, you can go over to
YouTube and go to the other places.
They're all streaming just fine folks on YouTube.
As you guys can tell you don't have that issue.
Rumble is a really inferior platform in many ways.
They did bring us to the dance, but man, it is a bummer.
OK, I want to play you this common sense because it is going
to make your brain cleansed. You're going to feel better
about it and take a deep breath because not everybody is
completely foolish. This is from a radio show, KBLA
1560. Looks like AM woman talking to
this rapper Jay French, who makes an awful lot of sense.
Again, that common sense, it's there, it still exists.
We just have to dig it out and we need to broadcast more of
this. You consider yourself a black
man. I mean, I, I'm, I'm considered a
black man, just like you're considered a black woman, right?
But we're just American. You said don't call me black if.
We go to Africa right now, what they going to call us Americans?
Black Americans. They're going to call us
Americans. And so are you.
And they do call us Americans when when they're here, they
call us Americans. Now they call us certain things
because we want to be called them.
We're like, call me black. They want to call you black
because they want you, because you, they think you want to be
called black because you just talking about black lives
matter. And I'm a black and I'm black
and I'm proud and I'm of course they watching you.
And they're like, hey, that's a black person.
But when they're talking amongst themselves and I've heard these
people, I've heard their conversations in Mexico and
different, different people. They call us Americans.
No matter where we go, we go to China, they call us Americans.
It could be me and you standing with two other people.
We we call white here and they call us all Americans.
You can call yourself Irish all you want, but I'm going to tell
you now, you go to Ireland, they going to call you American.
You don't fit in their culture. You're not a part.
Of their neighborhood. But you what is the advantage of
erasing the term black and just calling us Americans?
Why are you calling for that? Because it it brings us to
appreciate us as an ethnicity instead of just as a it it takes
away the divide. The the thing that that we think
is so different about us. You go to Puerto Rico, people
are all kinds of colors. Blue eyed blonde hair look like
me, look like you look like miles.
They look like everybody. They look like Cameron Diaz
there. They look like every somebody
there and they still, but they call themselves very, I mean
with impunity. I am a Puerto Rican.
Let me back up at the beginning I said we have to know the
difference between race, ethnicity, nationality, culture,
religion, right? So in in your song or I don't
know if it's in the song or on TikTok, you say that American is
an ethnicity. It's our ethnicity, yeah.
To me, ethnicity is where are your people?
From this is our new ethnicity. Do we ethnicity?
If you look up the word ethnicity, what comes back is
beliefs, sometimes nationality. Nationality is what your
passport says. Ethnicity is where your people
are. From no, no, no, that's that
woman. Is so indoctrinated that she
cannot leave it behind that if she went anywhere else, forget
about what you tell people you are this.
Is this like fantasy the left continues to have where it's
like no no no, I define myself this way.
Well, who gives a rat's ass what you define yourself as?
What you were defined as is what people all around you agree.
What they say behind your back when you're not listening.
How do they describe you? This woman can't get past her
own like egocentric, narcissistic, whatever that is,
that indoctrination that says this is how I am defined because
I say it is. So we don't get to actually
impose our will that that is a that is called pride.
We're in that pride month was the last day, thank God, of the
pride month, right? We're going to stop seeing that
I actually have a story about pride month.
This just happened. We'll do a Pride Month story
just one second. But all of that is to say, she
can't get beyond the idea that other people have defined who
you are. You're American.
When you go somewhere, I promise you they'll call you a Yank or
they'll call you an American if you go travel around Europe.
And they know you by the way you look and by the way you dress.
It doesn't matter what color skin you have, black, brown,
yellow, irrelevant. You carry yourself like an
American. They know you're an American.
They know exactly what that thing is.
And this man is straight up, I love it.
I actually like that. If we had more of that, which we
did, by the way, have 30 years ago, it's probably the reason
why Donald Trump is such a success with people across
different areas, because he's not a conservative person.
He's a 90s Democrat. And that was pretty sensible and
it wasn't really that offensive to things.
There were things we didn't like about what they were doing.
If you're really a conservative, if I had to go back then right
now, I'd have, I'd have qualms, but I'd have less qualms now
than I probably would even have with the Republicans.
Because even back then they had a little bit of thing that that
common sense, which is like I said, I think I think that
revolution is what Donald Trump say.
We're going to have a common sense revolution here.
A little touch on pride. We'll get into the violence
thing that happened in Idaho. I think that they are unrelated,
but it is the same message. Two people were shot outside of
the historic Stonewall Inn following an NYC pride March.
They were teenagers. Terrifying, complete
pandemonium. This is being covered by the New
York Post. Two people were shot near the
historic Stonewall Inn and Greenwich Village Sunday
following the big pride of the big Apples pride parade. 16 year
old girl, 17 year old goal. Doesn't that say an awful lot
about a city? When young people of that age,
young girls, they're not protected, they're not safe, and
they're going to get shot in a thing that's supposed to be
celebrating what? Pride, degradation, hubris.
Pride is not like Pride is one of the seven deadly sins on
purpose. Officers responded to a report
of shots fired at the corner of an LGBTQ plus landmark bar,
which was hosting Pride celebrations throughout the day
and end of the night around 10:15.
Just a reminder, nothing good happens after 10:00 PM.
The more old you get, the earlier that that that hour
moves and the more dads sort of grump you become.
It wasn't clear if the shooting was targeted, whether it was a
hate crime, whether it was related to pride, whether it was
just some a holes that just pulled triggers.
All of this stuff is to say that you could be anywhere in America
and your safety is your own responsibility, your ability to
be situationally aware. It's lessened when you're in a
crowd, but it's also less than when you're in the woods.
And if you're just not aware of what goes on, you could become a
quote UN quote victim anywhere. And that's the horrible story
that that unfolded out in Idaho. If you were going to say what is
the opposite of New York City, I would say the woods that are
north of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho might be pretty close to it.
Tiffany County is a fairly large area.
They've got a Big Lake. They've got all kinds of
beautiful terrain. There is not very high
population densities. Spent a couple of days driving
in a couple different times up there.
I've spent some time up in that area.
I've got friends that are from the area, so I know how to
pronounce it properly. I've talked to guys in the
Sheriff's Department there and yesterday, out of the blue, 2
Idaho firefighters were killed in an ambush.
They eventually found the guy on a place called Canfield
Mountain, which is pretty inaccessible terrain from
everything I can get and it sounds like he lured them up
there by starting a fire. I've actually got the the
dispatch call. This was pulled off the the, the
broadcastify website. So this is a screen grab Bear
with me on this one, but this was taken at 4:17 and it looks
like somebody grabbed this like as a screen grab off their
phone. Listen to the the absolute
horror there when I have buddies that worked in wildland fire and
often times, especially in areas like that where you have the
potential for for grizzly bears and some things like that are
like actual natural nature type threats.
Not a person you wouldn't expect that, but you could expect that
you might be cornered by some sort of an animal or something
like that. They actually had guys that were
assigned to shotgun details that while people were eating
somebody was, you know, manning a like a slug gun because you
just don't know. This is this is an awfully sad
story. But again, it goes to show you
that humans, nature in general is fallen, that bad things can
happen wherever you are and that it's not going to be
specifically about whether you're an urban or rural.
It's not going to be about whether you're a conservative
person or you're not like the nature of man is fallen.
We all need more than what we've got here.
This is this is a truly sad situation and we'll read more
about it. I'm going to tell you something
that did that occurred to me because everything ends up going
back into my little wheel. Well.
When we find out what this story was, I will comment more on it.
But Will, I will say, before we get into speculation about what
happened out there, there was a man that we interviewed on this
podcast. His name is Zach Shostall, and
Zach was the SSRA, the senior supervisory resident agent, the
top FBI agent in the Coeur d'Alene field office.
Well, it's called a resident agency.
It's a satellite office. He was the top agent out there
and he was removed over a Pride thing.
There was a Pride parade in the park in 2022.
It was a pride parade that had some sort of like gender
ideology nonsense. And a guys like that were a
holes that are white supremacists and or white
nationalists or whatever they want to call themselves.
Showed up from Patriot Front and they got out of a van, were
immediately arrested. And then their phones were
handed over to the FBI And the FBI refused to do a search
warrant on them because of what Zach said, the agent said.
And by the way, I know one of the agents, I went to the
Academy with him, said that we're not going to do a search
warrant because we don't have probable cause.
You know that Constitution we talked about earlier?
They believe in that, unlike Ketenji Jackson Browne, unlike
people that are on the hard left that don't get it.
There is a constitution. You have a right to not have
unreasonable searches and seizures.
And so those masked idiots that jumped out of the back of a
U-Haul, they all got arrested. They all got charged with some
nonsensical thing. And Zach was eventually removed
from his job because the woman whose motivation was pride.
Tracy Whelan, the assistant United States Attorney, he was
really interested in hate crimes, not real hate crimes,
but made-up ones like Mean Words in Coeur d'Alene Idaho.
It resulted in Zach losing his job with the FBI.
He was fired at the end of last year.
He was fired in like September. I want to say officially Zach,
who had a significant tactical background.
Go back and listen to the episode.
Thanks, Rose. Who's put that out there if you
guys want to go find it? He was an FBI whistleblower.
He sat down with me and Jill Alton.
We did like 3 hours stand up behind a countertop just talking
while we're at SHOT Show earlier.
I guess it was earlier what, this year?
The crazy thing is, is that you can't tell me for sure that this
situation, especially if we find out what sort of motivation was
behind this shooter, couldn't have been prevented.
Isn't that what the FBI keeps telling us?
They prevent all the terrorisms. What I do know is that a good,
tactically sound, capable operator, supervisor that had
the respect of the people that worked for him was not in that
office when this thing went down.
And I also found out that somebody didn't have the nuts to
actually call the FBI SWAT team to get in there because they
were SWAT operators who are backwoodsmen who are previously
experienced in working for the Department of Interior in those
forests that were not called into action.
And I'm not going to say too much more about it because I
don't want to expose my friends that are working in these areas.
There are people that knew how to deal with stuff like that,
that have been in that rough terrain and that is a very
heavily capable area. So eventually they did find this
guy dead. But I do want to play you at
least the the the dispatch because I want you to hear what
that panic looked like. First of all, good for the
firefighters for calling it in. They were able to evacuate as
best they could. Good for them on that as well.
This is an incredibly difficult situation, but it's a good
reminder that when you live in a country that has a lot of
freedom, you have to have a ton of responsibility.
And there's probably got to be somebody, if you're going into
the woods that's ready to handle threats of bear or crazy man,
whatever that man ends up being. And we don't know.
As far as I can tell, nobody's able to say whether or not the
guy was killed by law enforcement, which was my
instinct, or whether he killed himself.
There was originally a lot of speculation that there were
multiple shooters in the area. That's very, very common in an
active shooter. We'll do an entire breakdown on
active shooter events. We've got a a local SWAT medic
who maybe Kevin will come back. He did our our counterterrorism
sit down. But we can talk about active
shooter responses as what SWAT can handle, what they can't
handle, what you should be able to handle.
I do want to do that. I've had a request to kind of
push more on the Stop the Bleed and we will do more on that as
well. The end of the day, the classes
are free. They're available online.
You can find them on YouTube. You might be able to find them
on Rumble. We've even done them on this
podcast where we've gone through extensively on the March
assessment. They were back in the early days
when we were sitting in the trailer and I walked through how
to do this. This is not crazy hard stuff,
but if you haven't seen that before, check out like APJ Med
Cast or something to that effect with really solid emergency
medicine. Find something that's that does
March assessments, folks. If you, if you are worried about
being able to respond to something like this March,
March, spell it out. March assessment.
That's another big sort of common sense thing that you can
know how to do, like handle your own emergencies.
Anyway, here's the broadcast from Kootenai County.
Central BC, Central BC 5, Central BC5PC5 RC Come on, law
enforcement right now there's an active shooter zone.
They're shot. BC threes down, BC ones down.
Everybody's shot up here. Law enforcement Code 3 now up
here, 55110 or 14 up here. Stop.
Get out of the way, 10 or 14 and your first 551 do not come up
here. 51 copies remaining. Staging Central from 550-1551.
Can you get an ETA on Wi-Fi please?
You're going to see what Wi-Fi has to offer and go and get them
started. Also, if you can do a enact the
MCI or the can you please I can copy a copying up the upper
parking lot. Is that upper parking lot up on
the Drew parking lot when he's law enforcement up here
immediately law enforcement up here immediately copy upper
parking lot immediately law enforcement.
All right. And there's a little bit more to
it, but I think that's the relevant part here.
So you guys get kind of a sense of what this is about.
And if you've never listened to to EMS traffic, if you've never
listened to emergency dispatch traffic, that's what it sounds
like. It's really chaotic.
So whenever these things happen, if you think that you make a 911
call, you're talking to somebody and then like things start
rolling because they understand they're getting mixed
information, They're getting it over while they're driving.
They're they're strapping on, you know, additional body armor,
they're getting a rifle prepared.
They're grabbing a partner, putting in the car, they're
throwing out their cup of coffee that they were at lunch with or
whatever. There's a lot of things that
have to happen when this when the 911 call goes out.
And if you're not familiar with what happens on the back end,
there's a reason why we always tell you that you should be self
reliant and self responsible. Those firefighters had nothing
like all they could do was cower and they apparently they were
pinned down. You can hear it.
Good on him for getting the information out on the radio.
He calls in for no one else to come up there.
He's he's got people holding position.
All of that is fantastic. That's a heads up move by people
that are handling something. But that is, that is a truly
worst case scenario. And if you've never seen the
difference between what's called cover or concealment, these are
simple practices that you can teach your children.
These are things that you learned in military basic that
everybody should understand. Cover is something that stops
bullets. Concealment is things that make
it hard for you to see. You need both if you want to try
to stop something from someone try to kill you from an elevated
position, which is apparently what happened.
We don't know enough about the situation yet.
But what you can do is you can take away that like you don't
want to become a victim of something like that.
That means you have to prepare yourself.
Now, an ambush is effective no matter what.
That's why they do ambushes. If you are not expecting to be
attacked and then you are attacked, you have a narrow
window that you were going to be incredibly vulnerable and then
you can respond appropriately. Responding to contact is
something that you're probably not going to do if you haven't
done it before. But good on these firefighters
for calling it out as quickly as they did, getting the proper
information, requesting law enforcement.
You got people that are being held that were going to be
rolling into it that could have also become additional victims.
And you heard him say he wanted to indicate their MCI, their
mass casualty incident command. So that could be that or it
could be a multi command incident structure or something
to that effect. MCI in in any case, he was
letting people know that we need to have now a command structure
that's going to handle this problem.
And almost every firefighting crew and almost every law
enforcement on the local and has gone through what's called NIMS
and NIMS is the national incident management system.
So there's actually an idea after 911 on how we would handle
this stuff. And the the problem is, and the
saddest thing is, is that we do that so infrequently that most
places never know how to actually institute it.
So they're always kind of making it up half ass as they go and
they do an amalgamation of what they were trained on and like
what the hell works right now? And all those things are just
the nature of the beast. We do live in a free society, so
you don't want to constantly have that police state sort of
presence. At the same time, if you expect
them to be perfect and execute everything exactly right, they
won't. And how many people that are out
there in law enforcement right now that are listening to this
have ever trained on a, on a active shooter scenario in a
woodland area? Because I've never seen it done.
So now you've got a new threat that you have to go out there
and consider most of you do them on schools and and shopping
malls and churches and large businesses and you figure out
like where somebody might be and you go what's called direct a
threat. And you saw stuff like that that
happened in in Tennessee where they did it correctly.
And now you've got a whole new threat level to be able to do
it. Like the the threat is ever
evolving. It can always, it can always
change and somebody can always have a new creative idea.
I watched a Amazon truck that apparently exploded and caught
fire in some sort of a battery incident that was in either
Alexandria or over in in Arlington, VA, just outside of
Washington, DC yesterday. It reminded me of the pipe
bomber thing that they didn't catch the guy.
It also reminded me that we're all vulnerable because there's
all these vehicles running around and like, you know, I've,
I've legitimately seen guys that we were following for terrorist
activities that we thought was going to go do a terrorism
active, like he was going to go from interested to active
kinetic terrorist acts. And the FBI told them go ahead
and stand and wait. And we did.
We followed him around while he was in a flip an Amazon truck.
No idea what was in the truck. So those threats can be anywhere
anyway. The it's not to scare people,
it's to say be personally self reliant, you know, carry things
around like a Med kit and so on. You can see that some of our
sponsors actually sell them. So check it out if you're
interested, if you don't have that stuff already, but just be
aware. All right, I'm going to kind of
finish up with some sort of interesting news.
I think of Trump was right sort of stuff.
This was just stuff that happened over the weekend and I
don't want you to miss it because it did drop on a Friday,
which is when the news would love to do this.
Canada actually over the weekend rescinded what's called the
digital services tax that they had.
They had started taxing American industries and they were trying
to go out there and basically prove that that they could stand
on their own and tell Donald Trump what they were going to do
and they were going to take money if they needed to.
This is part of the trade war that's been going on.
This is all the sort of tariff talk, which was a lot of people
were sort of clutching pearls and freaking out.
I'm going to show you that actually the indication is that
Trump was right on this stuff. This is far less exciting than
than shootings happening in the woods.
But I think this is, this is what the federal government's
job is actually to do, go out and negotiate things with
foreign nations, trade deals and so on and so forth.
The foreign, the, the, the national government, our federal
government is never going to be the one that saves you in the
woods. Almost never.
It shouldn't be. They shouldn't have the ability
or the reach to go do that. You're going to end up with
stuff like Ruby Ridge when that's the case because they're
proactively trying to do the wrong thing.
This is the way that you're supposed to spend our time.
Donald Trump was asked about it while he was sitting at the at
the Resolute Desk and he had the following to say about digital
services, taxes and Canada, which actually after this tape,
they ended up cowing and bending you.
Added to your social post on Canada specifically, why are you
deciding to end trade talks with Canada and what rate are you
looking to set? So Canada put a charge on some
of our companies and Canada's been a very difficult country to
deal with over the years. You know, we hear Canada, we
have a great relationship with the people of Canada, but it's
been very difficult and they put a charge and they were a little
bit early. We found out about it.
So and we have all the cards. We have all, every single one.
We don't want to do anything bad, but they have economically
we have such power over Canada, I'd rather not use it.
But they did something with our tech companies today trying to
copy Europe. You know, they copied Europe.
It's not going to work out well for Europe either and it's not
going to work out well for Canada.
They were foolish to do it. So I said we're going to stop
all negotiations with Canada right now until they straighten
out their act. And of course, he was correct in
that, because then the Canadians came back to the table and they
rescinded this digital services tax and they went back and
resumed the trade talks. So all that's kind of funny
again, the, the media's been trying to push this sort of
thing, which is why they're cheering on almost all things
that are, even if they're antithetical to what Americans
actually want. They're cheering them on left
and right and they're like, Oh yeah, this is what we want.
They also were fear mongering as best you can.
You guys remember that if any of you guys have been watching the
stock market, you're going to see in just a second that this
is kind of funny because I got another headline to refute this
April broadcast. This is like April 3rd, I want
to say, of this year where you had CNN and others that were
claiming that basically doom and gloom and your retirement
account was going to be wiped out and it was all over for you
because Donald Trump did the very bad thing of tariffs.
Hopefully some of you bought at the bottom of the curve the way
that I did. I didn't buy a lot, but I did
put my retirement, you know, last year's Max, the 7000 for
each of us in. And guess what?
Yeah, we're all back. We're back to where we started,
if not again. We're higher in most places.
This was CNN making their predictions that it was all
over. And of course, they got their
guy Kramer, who's like a pretty much bet against whatever that
dude says. Almost every time that I see,
he's got a lot of reversals. I guess if you're a
prognosticator, you're always going to be wrong.
A. Lot out front tonight, the
breaking news, a wipeout, 2 1/2 trillion dollars today gone in
the route on Wall Street in response to Trump's trade war
against 185 countries. And right now as you look around
this ripple around the world, sort of it's like a tsunami
rolling around markets overseas, obviously all in the red.
And Trump today meantime was on the golf course.
His Doral Golf Club in Florida hosted the Saudi owned live golf
tournament. So that's where he was.
While he was on his way, he was asked about the crisis on Wall
Street. A lot of people were upset today
about how their four O 1K's from the reach.
You have investments. I think the I think our markets
are going to boom. Of course, the S&P 500 today, as
I mentioned, lost $2.5 trillion alone.
Now America's economy before Trump made any of these
announcements, started talking about all these tariffs and the
way he was in recent weeks had a lot going for it.
I mean, I thought that President Trump won in part because he
realized that there was so much inflation.
Well, they, they just gave you far more inflation.
That was a shame. And and now you have people
hoarding forget. I mean, I'll see you Costco on
Saturday. I love Costco but.
S&P closed at a record high, making a sharp comeback after
stocks plunged on April 3rd, 2nd and 3rd.
Whatever that Liberation Day. The broad based stock index, the
Ms. and P, rose 32 points, or a half percent to close at 6173,
surpassing a previous all time high in all of history.
It jumped roughly 24% since, dropping sharply in the days
since Donald Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs on April
the 2nd. The NASDAQ went up another 105
points. Just another reminder that the
so-called experts, they end up eating their words a lot of
times. This is what the federal
government ought to be doing, as far as I can tell, should be
handling this. What it shouldn't probably be
doing is your retirement account.
You guys should take responsibility for that in the
same way we're talking about taking responsibility for your
safety. So I found this to be kind of a
fascinating little article here, which is that half of all
private sector workers in the United States have no access to
a retirement plan. This study finds Americans are
continually incurs to sock away money in a four O 1K or other
retirement plans to ensure a comfortable if not cushy time in
their later years. That less than half of all
workers in the private sector have access to one of these
employee employer sponsored retirement plans. 56,000,000
Workers across the US are unable to save our retirement plans
through their jobs. And while these employees can in
principle save their own money, many are forced to prioritize
putting food on the table and paying bills in the present over
building a nest egg for the future.
And they mention, of course, 4 O1 KS because they don't want to
talk about the thing called an IRA, which all of you guys can
access and every single person who is a private sector employee
or if you're self-employed the way that I am, you can do that
yourself. Of course, the the argument is
that the government should come in and be the one that does it.
And that's the argument why we need to have a Social Security
program, which is probably the least efficient way that we
could invest anything. You know, where you have 10s of
thousands of employees that don't want to answer their
phones, that are responsible for doing a mediocre job of taking
your money and then lending out to other government agencies and
basically writing an IOU that doesn't actually get returns.
This is the opposite of what the founders were expecting with our
government. Social Security is the argument
because private sector workers don't have access to four O 1
KS. Guess what?
All of you can put money away. Figure out what you don't need.
And a lot of people, we had a, a long conversation.
We continue to have these conversations with people.
Whenever somebody says that, like, you know, the government
needs to come in and save them. All you got to realize is our
family went 14 months without a paycheck.
Why? Because we made decisions that
insulated US against that. If you don't want to be owned by
your federal government or your federal government job or your
private sector job. If you want to be able to make
hard decisions, which are incredibly hard based on
principles that you hold and you got to stick with them and you
got to do things that insulate you in advance, you can prepare
and then you don't have to repair later.
Half of private sector employees, all of private sector
workers have access to using an IRA because it's built into the
tax code. Why these people don't think
that they have access to it or why they limit this particular
CBS Money News, It just shows you that we have a deeply
dishonest press. Whether they're lying about what
tariffs are going to do or that things are going to rebound or
whatever else, they don't actually have the best interest.
They're always advocating because this is the picture.
If you're looking on the screen right now, it says Social
Security Administration and the federal building in New York is
the thing that they have as their head picture.
Putting it in your head. Private sector workers don't
have access to some way to save money and therefore Social
Security is the answer. Social Security might as well be
the same guy who's talking about doing buses.
It's the worst way to manage money.
It's the least efficient and is the furthest away from you.
Because what effect does your vote have on Social Security?
Almost none. And of course they they mix this
stuff into the big beautiful bill as well.
So anyway, just just in a little awareness of what's going on.
I'm going to give you one last little story because it's good.
And then we'll do something that's funny because why not?
I found this local news at ACBSA Child fell from a Disney cruise
ship Child fell from a Disney cruise ship in Fort Lauderdale
and right after she fell off the 4th deck the dad jumped in to go
get her. Because that's the real answer
for me. It was like, got it.
OK. There's a TikTok video of it
shows the dad treading water with a daughter in his hands.
If you're a dad and you haven't practiced holding on to one of
your kids and keeping them, especially if you have kids that
can't swim very well. If you haven't practiced holding
them up above so you can hold on to them for long enough for
rescue to get you if you had to go into the water and get them,
what are you doing? Get to work.
I actually try like I literally practice this with my with my
infant. I practice with my little
toddler. I practice with my like my
smaller kids. I can hold two kids up.
It would suck for me. It'd be a bummer for like a long
time, but I could do it. And you have to do that.
This dad went in, He dove in right off the deck.
He followed like right after his kid.
I don't know why his kid fell off.
They don't know why. That's what dads are supposed to
do. Because you can't wait for the
government to come save you. The government's not your dad.
That's the real, that's the lesson of the today's show,
which most of us used to know, in the same way that most of us
knew that we were all just Americans.
We didn't need any of the hyphens.
Kid goes in the water, you go in the water.
That's what you signed up to do. So anyway, don't wait for
someone to come save you and all these things.
And it's, it's unfortunate if you find yourself in that
scenario. Hopefully you never let yourself
get in that situation again. It doesn't matter whether you're
in New York at a damn pride parade and something goes bad,
or if you're sitting there and you're wondering like, holy
crap, I'm a wildland firefighter.
Maybe we should pack an AR in one of our bags so we at least
are not pinned down forever. We don't have an opportunity
because there's nothing more helpless than hoping somebody
else is going to come save you. It's the worst.
It's absolutely the worst. You don't want that.
All right, How about something funny?

This is a story about probably not your uncle, but maybe like
one of your fantasy uncles if you are an Italian.
This is just a silly song that I found and it made me laugh.
It's kind of catchy, kind of reminding you that some foods
are not as healthy as other foods.
This is the dude in a tracksuit singing about eating pizza.
Baby, let me introduce myself, 'cause I'm a true Pisces, Let me
get a slice of pepperoni extra Parmesan.
Let me get a chicken caught. Let me get it all.
Whole week though trying to watch the gut.
That's dumb. That's what that's what I want
New Yorkers to be and not voting for freaking socialists.
So there you have it. Also, the track suits.
Let's bring it back. Some of these guys need to be
continuing to wear them. God bless all of you.
Hope you have a fantastic day. Thanks for joining us.
We're going to do 3 shows this week, so we're going to be off
on Thursday and Friday to celebrate Independence Day.
This country, which is a great country, I'm going to try to do
some things with my kids. So I hope you guys can
appreciate that. Hope you guys also are making
some plans. My wife just told me we need to
figure out something to do, so we're going to do that.
So anyway, you got today, got tomorrow, but the next day, if
you're like, hey, I really need some more Kyle Seraphin show.
We are now over 600 episodes deep.
Go back and watch some of the original ones we did,
particularly the interviews. Some of those interviews,
although they were technically not very impressive, we had some
really neat guests telling us some really interesting things.
And there's dozens and dozens and dozens of them.
So we'll check you. We'll check out that.
Anyway, have a great rest of your day.
God bless you. And we'll see you again
tomorrow. Adios for now, thanks for
listening to the Kyle Serafin show, streamed live weekdays on
