Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower, 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 Serif. Well, here I am and welcome to
the Kyle Seraphin Show. Hello my friends.
It is Friday, it is May the 3rd, and we are celebrating the 300th
episode of The Kyle Seraphin Show this morning and it is
rolling live right now on rumble.com/kyle Seraphin.

ship SR711? What's going on there?
Want to welcome you guys all to the show.
We really appreciative that you are here and joining us this
time in the morning. And if you want to support the

It's a free show, but you're welcome to support us
financially If you want to do so.
And you do that over on a browser or you do it on a
computer. You can't do it in the app.
Doesn't make any sense. It's just how Rumble works for
right now. Well, you know what?
Send something to support@rumble.com if you guys
are so inclined. All right, We're going to be
talking about some fun stuff with Steve Friend.
We're going to be talking about clear tactics at Columbia
University. What happens when you do it
wrong from a guy who used to carry a shield for an FBI SWAT
team? It's going to be an interesting
little perspective. We're going to talk about
diversity hires. Yeah.
And Donald Trump's reaction to the so-called Bombshell that was
dropped by O'Keefe Media. Want to get into all that?
Also, probably a little black pill going into the Friday, end
of Friday afternoon and the weekend.
Just letting you know that the people who are charged this
country actually have absolutely no idea how things work, Nothing
sadder and funnier. I want to start off by thanking
our sponsorcatholicvote.org if you guys are looking in the show
routes right now, if you're on YouTube, or if you're on
Facebook, the show notes will actually have a link to a
YouTube video that we did for Catholic Vote.
And if you're watching on Rumble, it's the Rumble video
and you can actually click through there and check out
Catholic Vote page, which is it's at Catholic Vote on either
one of those platforms. It's a little video called Make
Parenting Great Again, Your kids need discipline and just it's a
short form, high speed produced little piece of content that
we're doing with Catholic Vote out there.
It's based on the basic Western and Christian values, but it's
just touching on some things that I think most of us
understand. It may be a good way to share
content from this show if you want to give somebody something
easy and short and tasty to grab onto.
It's got that kind of social media flair where it's cutting
back and forth between some things.
They did a really nice job with it.
I think you guys will appreciate that one.
And you can always sign up for the Loop by going to
catholicvote.org. Again, it's catholicvote.org.
And then the opening page just gives you an opportunity to get
the loop, which will generally include a link to our videos.
But it also is probably the best two or three minutes of news
that you're going to get on any given day, on any given morning,
when it pops into your e-mail address at 0600.
All right, without too much further ado, I want to get
started with my buddy Steve. Friend.
Let me pull him up on the screen.
Steve, you're going to have to unmute yourself.
And there you are. How you doing, buddy?
Good morning. I'm excited.
Congratulations on the 300 You got me today.
Not Garrett. Garrett would be making some
sort of Gideon reference right to 300.
I'm going to say that I'm excited to be here to Leonidas
front. Kick the envoy into the black
hole rhetorically, Secti. It's a rhetoric fighting
anything. I certainly don't want to become
the subject of an obstruction of justice investigation.
What black shirt are you wearing today?
Are you wearing the same as me? Night OPS.
OK, good. So we both have dark
suspendables. Merch on.
It's been an interesting journey since September of 2022 that
we've stepped into and now 300 episodes deep on this one.
Want to get right into the topics?
We'll talk a little bit about new stuff, then we'll have some
reflections, and then maybe talk about the long term op that you
and I have signed on for the CIA to pay us to run interference as
former FBI agents or whatever the hell that is going on.
This is the allegation I had that Laura, Laura Loomer come at
me first. Then it was James O'Keefe, then
it was Laura Logan. I'm just picking up all these
folks. Apparently you and I have been
able to deceive like really big names like Dinesh D'souza, Dan
Bongino and Seb Gorga. So that'll be fun.
Let's stop. Start with actual information.
I'm gonna pull it up here on the screen, folks.
You guys probably heard about all these college protests.
We've covered a little bit on this show.
The An NYPD officer fired his gun while clearing protesters
from Hamilton Hall at Columbia. That's what the DA office
confirms. This is being reported by CBS
News. I'm gonna get Steve friends take
on it as a guy who used to do this job, trained for it a lot.
Let's get the specifics out here.
So a NYPD officer fired his gun inside of Hamilton Hall.
That was the the place where you saw police breaching through
like a second story window coming in on a on a ladder truck
during the Tuesday night operation to clear the
university. And that's something that is
being claimed now by the Manhattan District Attorney's
office. I guess that's Alvin Bragg.
The day's office says students were not in the immediate
vicinity of the gunfire and nobody was hurt.
The incident is under review by the Police Accountability Unit,
as you'd expect, It says that the NYPD sent in Emergency
Service Unit officers. ESU is their version of a SWAT
team and they were using a firearm equipped with a
flashlight to illuminate a barricade and accidentally fired
one shot which struck a fame A-frame nearby in the wall.
NYPD said that the investigation will be conducted immediately.
There was just an accidental discharge and they're going to
go further on with that. I want to go to you, Steve.
Let's talk about a DS versus N DS, you know, break out for
people if there's ever such a thing as an accidental
discharge. I would contend no.
You got the cardinal safety rules that you have to stick to.
Treat all weapons as if they're loaded.
Keep your finger off the trigger unless you tend to press it.
Never pull a weapon, anyone, unless you're justified.
You don't even have to obey all three of them at the same time.
It's really like two. You should, you should get you
good. You just want this good practice
to obey all three. So I've never said accidental
discharge. It's always a negligent
discharge. You it seems like they were
trying to illuminate, use the flashlight on the gun and send
around down range. That that's not, oh, my bad.
I mean, you put your finger on the trigger.
You weren't intending to press it.
You violated it. You're negligent.
Yeah, and I think those are always stop signs.
For me, it's like don't do this, don't do that.
If you run through all the stop signs, you might T-bone somebody
in the intersection that's still actively going.
There is one exception to that that I would say that there
there's such a thing as an accidental discharge, and that
is if you don't violate any of those safety rules and the gun
goes off, that's the only real accidental discharge.
And the only guns that I'm aware of that have done that, I've
seen people do that with Sig Sauer handguns, specifically the
P320 when it was released for the Army.
So it was this big fear that you could be rolling out there with
this like 320 and there's videos all over the Internet.
You guys can go find them yourself, but people will drop
them and the drop safety fails or they will like holster up and
then they'll have hands off and the thing will like, hang fire
and go off it's. What you're telling me is that
like the scene from True Lies where she drops the the gun down
the steps and just starts firing, killing terrorists, that
that's that's not accurate, that's.
Not accurate, although I don't. I've never shot.
I've never spent enough time with it.
It was an oozy. OK.
Yeah, the classic like rolls down, right the way that the Uzi
is set up. It's an open roller blowback
system if my memory serves. And so that means that it's
actually like it's it's kind of like an AR and and such that it
runs the bolt back based on the the power of the the actual
round going off. But it actually is less than
that because instead of so in an AR it goes down the barrel and
then the gas tube, right? So the gas goes up, the little
gas tube, you've seen that little steel rod, it goes back
and then that activates the bolt, which goes into a spring
and then comes forward and grabs another round in the open
blowback. What it actually does it uses
the force of the round to send one forward and then like
slightly afterwards that pressure pushes backwards and
and sends the the bolt backwards to rechamber and so maybe you
could do that, throw a Uzi down the steps.
Highly accurate? Not a Is it a highly accurate
means of taking out terrorists? Probably not.
Probably not Schwarzenegger. I mean that's that's what the
the old action movies used to be.
It was like heroes killing bad guys and we all felt good about
it, right? Like I actually saw.
So this is kind of an interesting topic and I didn't
plan on going here. I watched Quigley, Quigley Down,
Down Under, OK and there's a lot of points in that movie.
It's a cowboy movie, but it's set in in Australia.
And of course the cowboy is defending the Indians.
The Indians are the Aborigines, the the native inhabitants,
right? But what was what I was struck
by was that that Tom Selleck was a man's man.
He always was. And Tom Selleck is a hero in
that movie because he does the right thing for the right
reason. Because it's right, not because
it's convenient, not because it's easy.
Like Tom Selleck in Quigley, Down Under is a suspendable Let
me think. I think that's fair.
I mean, Tom Selleck, he's kind of taking chances.
Also in his roles when he would, he was the first good guy in
Magnum Pi that he shot the bad guy and it was not a imminent
risk of danger to himself. Did that predate?
Did it predate Han Solo doing
the shoot first with? Greedo I don't think that you
know you can. There's too much debate about
that. Who shot first?
I'm not sure. No, Han shot first.
That's not a good question. Come on dude, you shot first.
That's the whole point. So.
But here, here's the thing that that was interesting to me about
I started looking into after watching quickly.
I don't know why I watched it by the way.
Oh, I know why I watched it because I bought a 4570.
I don't own a Sharps rifle, but like I actually know an FBI
agent who did the right thing, was removed from the FBI and his
family may or may not own the historical Sharps rifle company
that's been building Sharps rifles for like 75 years.
So they're the ones that put them out in the world.
So that was part of the way I went down this little rabbit
hole. At some point in time we'll
bring them on whenever the the lawsuits are all done.
But the the story was I started looking into Magnum PII started
looking into Tom Selleck as a person.
My wife really loved Blue Bloods.
It was like a family. Values like real Americana.
Like the cops are the good guys. The cops.
Families struggle, but they're trying to do the right thing.
They don't always get it right. Right.
That's the that's real life. And what I found out was, is
that Tom Selleck was signed up to do Magnum Pi.
They were supposed to do the pilot and that was the same time
when Raiders of the Lost Ark was being cast.
Did you know this? Did I tell you this already?
No, I did not know this. OK, so Tom Selleck apparently
was already optioned on for the pilot to do Magnum Pi and they
came to him, they said, hey, we'd love you to be in Indiana
Jones. We want you to be doing Raiders
of Lost Ark. We think it's going to be big
blockbuster movie. His previous experience had had
been he'd been in a commercial with Farrah Fawcett, he'd done
some Under Armour, you know, underarm, deodorant, stuff.
Like it was nothing that was that was really blockbuster
caliber. But they knew that he had the
look and he had the kind of the ethos and he had the stash and
he was the guy. He was definitely like alpha
male, masculine from that era. And so they came to him, they
said let's let's do Raiders. And he said I'm contractually
obligated to do Magnum. Pi And his buddies apparently
started agitating and apparently there was a writer strike at the
same time. And they pushed back the pilot
and the release and actually shooting and moving forward,
'cause you never know if a pilot's going to get greenlit
into a full series, you know, So his buddies were like, dude,
just take that Ferrari and run it into a brick wall and get
injured and get out of your contract and go do Raiders.
That's where the money is and the story that is equipped,
attributed to Tom Selleck. You can find it on the Wikipedia
page, but I've seen it in other interviews.
The statement was I'm still going to have to go be the kind
of guy that goes and looks my parents in the eye.
I'm still going to have to explain to people you know and
explain to myself that I was obligated to do something and
then I went and cheated out of it.
And I'm not going to do that. He's grow man he's complete
suspendable and he's he did MPI Second Amendment advocate.
I mean you ever watch Jesse Stone he incorporates like
weapons tactics in there. There's an actual carve out
scenes in there Will he'll give like an actual lesson to one of
his subordinate officers, Like hey, you got to fire and get off
the axe and it's completely tactical information, completely
unnecessary to the plot. But it's by his insistence that
they do that. I think he's a pretty principled
guy. I don't know too much about his
politics. I know he likes guns though.
And I mean that to me is pretty much sounds like we probably get
along really well. Well, you don't hear about his
politics, which usually tells me that he's probably on the
conservative side. Because if you're conservative
and you're in Hollywood, then you don't get to talk very much,
right? You don't get to.
Friends of Abe. Friends of Abe.
So end of the day, I just found it interesting that he that he
looked at the opportunity in front of him and said I've
committed to one thing and I'm going to stick with it.
It turned into probably one of the greatest shows that you know
that TV can can claim. Magnum was a cool guy, by the
way. He was.
I don't know if you knew this, but Tom Selleck served in the
Army, so he. Had Vietnam is a bet.
Yeah. So I think it was California
National Guard from the way that I was reading it.
But he served as a as a a you know a guy in the Army and and
then turned out and then famously played Magnum Pi who
was supposedly a Navy SEAL And he kind of looks the part back
in the day like you know in the UD TS coming in.
If you've never gone back and watched the original pilot of
Magnum Pi, it's so good. And I just he's just one of
those dudes that's like a man just because that's what men are
and he doesn't have to play it up.
He doesn't have to go Jack Reacher and be steroidal.
He looks like a dude that could actually be built like someone
you've met. The other thing I always see is
that everybody was skinnier in the 70s.
Yes, there's definitely an element of a wall-e going on
right now. For those of you who have kids
and seen that movie where people are just £400 and riding around
in motorized scooters, you have been to a Walmart lately.
I I yeah, we're just not getting fed the same food.
There was a there's a girl named Alex Clark who does a podcast
called The Spillover. And my wife's a big fan.
But one of the things that she said is like all these people
that are like basically my age, I'm a little bit older than you.
But like my age and older are looking down at the younger
generations being like, stop being such wimps.
Like you can eat McDonald's and have, you know, Moon Pies or
whatever the garbage you're going to eat.
You could do all that stuff like we did it.
We came out fine. And she's like, no, no, no, The
food you were eating is different than the food that
they are serving us today. McDonald's today is not the same
as McDonald's 20 or 30 years ago or 40 years ago.
So yeah, we're seeing like such a dramatic change.
Anyway, none of that is has anything to do with Magnum Pi or
the the fact that we had people at Columbia.
You want to talk about what goes on when somebody has to go and
imagine taking a a ladder truck and breaching a second story
window and rolling in there as a guy who's run a shield with a
light and gone against, you know, whatever adversarial type
of stuff. I know you guys do training on
that. So maybe kind of tell people
what that's about. Well, we don't train on taking a
ladder truck. I imagine they probably do in
New York because that is more likely to happen there with all
the high rises. So it's probably not something
that they've never attempted before, but there's going to be
a little bit of a gap between one guy coming into the next,
which is kind of intimidating, especially being on a shield
unit, because a SHIELD unit is 2 guys working as one.
You. You represent one person and
your actions have to be together simultaneously.
Because the new, the new ethos when it comes to carrying a
shield is it used to be you had one hand on the shield and you
could have your second hand up with a secondary weapon like a
pistol in your hand. But then they were finding that,
well, if you take a round of the shield, it will deflect off and
you'll be out of the fight. So you have to put both hands on
the shield, which means you only have two hands.
You don't have a weapon up which it put makes you vulnerable.
So you have to have a second guy behind you with a rifle up and
over your ear, which kind of is forbearing because you know if
he starts sending rounds you're going to get rocked in the head,
but you know it they got to do it.
It's a must shoot situation, but it's there's a lot of
coordination that has to happen. So if there's a a lag in time
between shield comes in and he's got to wait for that gun, you're
extremely vulnerable. Now I don't know if the ESU, the
the NYP DS SWAT unit if they're running the same New York
triggers, but do you remember ever seeing, Do you ever see a
Glock with a New York trigger in it the way that they set the
trigger pack up? No, they they take the little
safety off. No.
They increase the poundage from whatever the normal break is,
which is like 2 to 6 lbs to I think 12 1/2 lbs.
It's somewhere between 8 and 12 lbs.
It's this absurdly heavy trigger pull.
So you can imagine, like all those quals are probably
shooting down and left pretty hard.
Exactly. They're just yanking everything.
Yeah, everything gets yanked and you have to actually overcome
that by a lot, which means you have to be a lot stronger and
you probably have to have a lot more support hand actually doing
vertical because they're pulling that that heavy trigger down.
So the just being able to fire it.
As I recall they all shoot clocks out there.
I don't know that you can accidentally send around with a
Glock. I've never heard of that
happening. Maybe there's an example
somebody can hit us in the comments, but yeah, when you're
running that super heavy New York style trigger pack, they
literally have a New York trigger spring and disconnector
which are way heavier than a normal Glock.
And and a normal Glock is not always that light like people
always in the high speed games that they'll do lighter and
lighter triggers down to 3 1/2, you know two 2.75 inch pound
polls and to do like 4 or 5X whatever the competition guys
are shooting. It doesn't sound like you could
send that accidentally. Is the logic that we just don't
like guns in New York City, so we're going to make it really
hard for police officers to do their job?
That's exactly right, Yeah. You voted for it, New York.
Yeah, The sad thing is, is I know that the people that don't
vote for it, the people that are conservative up there, I've,
I've changed my perspective a little bit on New York.
I'm going to actually add this to your life.
I don't want to abandon people as long as they know that they
are living behind enemy lines and they are operating like an
insurgent there. I think if you know that you're
behind, if you are an island because you're a pro gun person,
like a Dexter Taylor who's now sitting at Rikers Island.
If you're one of those people that's pushing the envelope and
saying America, Second Amendment, the Constitution
still matters here and you're willing to go to the mat for it,
you're actually in the fight too.
You're you're not just giving up ground and just hanging out in
occupied territory and giving it to the communist, you're funding
it. But I think reluctantly.
If you're doing things like lying to get on jury so you can
acquit people like Dexter, you have my respect.
I mean, do you think you could be impartial?
Oh, absolutely. I don't follow the news
whatsoever. Not guilty.
And then go do jury nullification on that guy.
That's that's true citizenship, absolutely.
Yeah, by by. Actually resisting tyranny is
your civic duty. Doesn't that say a lot about the
way that our that our society has kind of collapsed though?
Because we talk about the the sort of the anchors and the
pillars of the institutions we used to be able to trust in
2020, just falling away, media people, you, you even told me
that there's family members and friends of yours that have said
if it's on TV, it must be true, right?
Like, that mentality still exists for some people.
Oh, for for sure. I mean because that that
credibility has been there or at least the perception of that
credibility has been there for so long.
To break out of that actual cookie cutter mindset is so hard
for people because you know you go back to the assumption, well
it's Walter Cronkite. It's got to be true and
accurate. Walter Cronkite was a far
leftist. He was giving you a completely
biased opinion that even back then but compared to today he
was straight down the middle as far as delivering facts to
people. So that that sort of experience
that people have with even the Internet thinking like well,
it's in print and and print equates to the newspaper and the
newspaper would never steer me wrong that could.
That sort of mindset is completely shattered and I think
it's probably a good thing it's slower evolution that I would
prefer. I don't want people to fall into
the trap. There's there's really, like,
people went to two directions. 2020 broke everyone's brain.
And I think that if you came out of that and you're like, I'm
going to be skeptical of everything and I'm going to
evaluate the facts and formulate my opinions and not just accept
it because it's on TV or in the newspaper, I think that's
healthy. But if you said, well,
everything they told me before was wrong, so ergo, everything
opposite of that must be true. And I'm just going to buy into
things that are ludicrous and absurd because of the opposite
of what I was told. You're not in a healthy
situation and unfortunately there's a not insignificant
amount of people that fall into that category.
Yeah, it's called the fallacy of the converse in the logical
sense. When you're doing mathematics,
just because you know, it's like if A is less than B then B is
less than A. It's like no, no no, it it
doesn't mean that you know the equal then side you it.
It depends on what that operator is in between the two different
quantities. And as you said, just because
everything that people told me is a lie doesn't mean the
opposite is true. That's that's a.
Binary binary thinking too. It's very simple thinking and
you didn't even listen to yesterday show did you?
I haven't yet. No got to got to catch up.
Steve Baker. I want to really like get it all
absorbed and I didn't have an awful hour and a half yet in my
time. Which means you didn't do like a
longer run than your 12 miles you were.
I went long today, but I had to do some Recon on what we were
going to talk about today. I was listening to other things.
I love it. Yeah.
No. And I'm not giving you a hard
time. I just wanted to make the point
that we independently have come to this conclusion.
This is why you and me and Steve Baker, we all get along in this
this front because we know the answer is not to just blindly
trust things because you don't just give up one institution
then trade it for another institution.
The answer should always be, and I'm going to do it here.
There it is, folks, right over the shoulder, The X-Files.
I want to believe, but also trust no one at the same exact
time. You have to be knowing that you
you have trust in some part of humanity, but everyone has to
trust but verify. You have to go out there and
evaluate people on the facts. If the facts on the ground do
not align with the reality of it, then you're going to be in a
lot of trouble. This is 1.
Have you ever seen somebody plead the 5th amendment in
testimony? Have you ever been part of a
trial where that happened or a deposition?
I I've been in trials where they didn't testify because that's
their constitution, right? That's the 5th Amendment right
too. But I've never seen somebody get
there and say I I invoked my Fifth Amendment right.
OK I want to play this video. This is coming from Donald
Trump's or this is coming from Mark Pomerance.
He was a former investigator, I think for the for the DA's
office. And I believe this is Matt Gates
who's questioning him. And just because you plead the
5th does not mean that you committed a crime.
It just means that it may be slanted in such a way.
Or the question is, you know, biased and it's not, It's not
going to be helpful to you that you might implicate yourself in
something else or you don't have the entirety of the information.
So maybe somebody has a gotcha somewhere.
The the old perjury trap. The FBI says, well have you ever
done this thing And you're like, I don't think so, no.
And then they're like, but you did 1997, you did it, you know,
you lie there. They have to actually prove if
they were going to go after you for the for the false
statements, the 1001 that you actually knew at the time that
you were lying, which is why they don't actually prosecute
that very often unless you're General Flynn.
But this is kind of like the the trap.
So this doesn't mean this guy did the thing that they're
saying in in the in the testimony.
I'm going to just watch a little taste of it.
It is kind of spicy, though, that somebody doesn't want to
answer these types of questions because I feel like you and I
could say pretty definitively, did you ever commit a crime when
you were an FBI agent? Never knowingly committed a
crime? No.
Did you ever engage in investigative practices that
were illegal, immoral or unethical?
No, which is why I no longer work for the FBI if you wanted
me to. I feel the same way I used to
always people be like, you used to spy at Americans.
I'm like, no, I used to spy on mostly dirtbags, but some not
dirtbags, definitely, Which I knew right away.
You're like, oh, that's just a racist kid, you know, who's on
Twitter or something. But we didn't violate, but we
didn't violate any of his, his his protected liberties.
We followed him around in public.
We didn't spy on him in his house.
We didn't set up microphones or do anything illegal.
We just sat there and watched him in public and and you know
what? If somebody wants to watch you
go to McDonald's and then go to Starbucks and then get on your
phone and tweet, then so be it. That's what they're going to do.
And it turns out that those are non incriminating.
I would actually call that exculpatory information if
anybody ever brought anything up.
It's like did you ever observe that guy commit a crime?
And the answer would be no. I'd be happy to get on the stand
and do that like you prepare yourself for that sort of thing.
And actively say no, I I observed him not committing
crimes, does does that give you any further evidence of you know
what his character is? Exactly.
I mean, I saw him on his phone. You guys are showing the text
messages. I have no knowledge of that.
All I know is that this guy wears loafers, khakis and a polo
shirt, and he's kind of a boring follow.
He's not nearly as fun as like a bank robber or drug dealer,
which I followed as well. And real terrorists.
And Ms. 13 guys who, you know, trafficked women and we had to
go arrest. That's a different animal.
All right, here's a little video.
On the advice of counsel, I'm not going to answer that
question, Sir. Privilege.
Privilege against self incrimination.
And did you knowingly break any laws when investigating
president? Trump.
Jackson Same. Response Did you break any laws
when you worked at the Manhattan District Attorney's office?
Jackson same response. Mr. Palmer Rance Did you violate
any person's constitutional rights when you worked on the
Trump investigation? Objection.
I have the same response to your question.
Mr. Palmer Rance, Did you violate any person's
constitutional rights while you worked at the Manhattan DA's
office? Objection.
Same answer. Did you misuse any federal funds
while investigating President Trump?
Same response. Did you misuse any federal funds
while you were working in the Manhattan District Attorney's
office? Same response.
And did you violate any New York State bar rules while you're
investigating President Trump? Objection.
Same response. Did you violate any New York
State bar rules while you were working in the Manhattan?
District Attorney's Office objection.
Same response. And did you violate any canons
of legal ethics when you're investigating President Trump?
Protection. Same response.
So that's not proof positive of anything.
That's somebody refusing to answer the question.
He might as well be doing the Jim the Jim comedy like I don't
recall. It's the question.
The premise of the question is tell us when you stop beating
your wife, right. He's, he's a lawyer.
He knows that that's a trap and he has one eject button, one
break glass in case of emergency.
And that's just say like I'm just not going to answer that
question because there's no good outcome for me on it, which is
smart on him. And like you said, it doesn't
indicate guilt. It just indicates that he's he's
invoking his constitutional right.
I'm sorry, invoking your constitutional right is
shouldn't be something that's punitive or derogatory
information against you, even if you're involved in something
that's nefarious. All right.
That's the fair take. Let's talk about the optics of
it. How does that thing look?
Oh, it's bad. It looks bad, which is why Matt
Gaetz is a bro. And Matt Gaetz knows it too.
Matt Gaetz is an attorney, like very aggressive and he went
after him probably expecting to get that.
And once he got it, that's why he kept going on.
He he knew he was going to get that response to everything, but
he wanted it all on tape, on the record so they could have this
big dump. And then people who just see
that and say, Oh well, clearly it affirms everything that I
believed already before I saw this.
It is dangerous sort of echo chamber type mentality, but I
will say I agree with you. What Matt Gaetz did was he
accidentally or intentionally tapped into the vein.
You know, you pop in there and you and you chip off a little
bit of side of of mud and and dirt and and some rock and then
you see that gold vein running through the rocks there.
And then he just mined the hell out of it and he just got all of
the sound bites necessary, captioned it, showed it.
And that dude is just sitting there deadpanning saying I'm not
going to play this game. But man, at some point he must
have been like, this is going to look really, really bad.
When they play on Fox, We, We. Do got a live one.
I caught a bleeder we're gonna just keep.
Yeah, we just keep running on this and you just keep you just
keep mining it. In any case, I I don't think
that it's necessarily, it doesn't mean that that guy did
the right thing based on the the criminal prosecution that's
going on of Trump up there. They've had to bend all over
themselves in order to justify this case.
So that kind of does give us a little bit more shade towards
yeah, they probably had to break some ethics.
They probably had to go down the line of that.
But this guy's doing the hey, I'm, I can't remember anything
or I'm not going to play your your game.
And even that looks incriminating.
If you wanted to, people in the political left will say the
other thing, they'll be like, yeah, of course he shouldn't be,
you know in trouble for invoking his constitutional liberties.
The The problem is those same people will say if Donald Trump
doesn't get up and testify, then he's obviously guilty too.
He'll put Peter Navarro in prison because he said, hey,
I've got some concerns about the subpoena there.
There might be some executive privilege here, so I I can't
actually obey it. Why don't we adjudicate that
properly? Nope.
You're going to prison. Straight to prison, Supreme
Court said. Oh oh Yep, put him in prison.
I put out a tweet this morning that basically said, you know,
we've launched because of some of the work that we've done, a
significant number of congressional investigations,
also some state level investigations.
We've got dozens of of state attorney generals popping in,
whether it be about the Catholic memos or the fact that they were
abusing, you know, FBI resources.
You know, you want to talk about since we're on the 300th episode
here, what the outcome of all of the suspendables pain and
suffering and the discomfort that we've experienced the the
lack of pay, what was the end result like to America?
Have we won? Well, Garrett O'boyle is still
unpaid and definitely suspended forever.
So I I think if you what define, how do you define victory?
I think we have a certainly a different definition of that
than the people that are in charge of these hearings and in
Congress. They view having a hearing
itself as a victory. They view writing a letter as a
as a victory or having a viral video clip that gets some on
cable news as a victory. As far as I know, the Daytona
Beach resident agency of the FBI, which I worked for for over
a year, has now broken ground on a brand new office building for
12 employees beachfront property in Daytona Beach, FL.
So really, what significant difference do we make raising
awareness? Maybe there I think there's more
people. Do we move the needle on the
opinion polls of the FBI? OK, but if it doesn't galvanized
anything when our elected officials fully fund everything,
what was the point? Yeah, what was the point?
And and we're still looking for the point that doesn't mean any
of us have given up because this is the only way that we can put
some meaning behind the sort of the the pain and stuff.
We're Richard Gere and an officer and a gentleman.
I have nowhere else to go. That's it.
Yeah, This is it. This is the final stand for us.
And interestingly enough, like, you know, I I just mentioned on
social media a minute ago, but it's like I pulled my kids away
from their three best groups of friends that they still are
upset about. And for what?
You know, for what is, because that's what the right thing to
do was we had to keep soldiering on in this sort of thing.
But to to imagine that there's some sort of benefit.
And then the obviously, there's this accusation right now by
people like Loomer and Laura Logan and James O'Keefe that I
somehow work for the CIA, which is the saddest, stupidest thing
as I sit here in Liberty Hill, TX, in a in a rented bedroom.
You know, of this house that that's stacked in like cookie
cutters that was built during COVID and they were so cheap
when they built this damn house, they didn't even put a flipping
doorbell in it. Steve, I've never seen that
before. I've been into a lot of houses.
I've been in the most ghetto houses in America, in Pittsburgh
doing search warrants or up in Baltimore and you know, in
Southeast DC and they all had doorbells, at least if you want.
To that just proves that you're a fed boy because there's not a
doorbell. That means that they're
definitely going to breach the door aggressively, which we know
is never going to happen because you're fed boy working for the
CIA. It's.
So hard to say stuff like that in a sarcastic way when it's so
close to home. Let me do an ad read.
We're on the episode 300 right now, folks.

All right. Are you ready for round two?
Send it, Sir. How about diversity hires?
I've got a fun story about this one that I think you will enjoy
and I'm going to go ahead and play a diverse we're going to
jump on here. So this is an article that comes
from The Blaze. Steve sent me this and said are
you going to cover this on on TKSS, which is what we call the
the Seraphin show. And yes, I am female Secret
Service agent with troubling history.
Allegedly becomes violent with colleagues, never should have
been hired, came from I guess end of last week and we haven't
really touched on it all that much.
But an erratic and apparently violent outburst from a female
Secret Service agent earlier this week has sparked questions
regarding agency hiring practices and recent initiatives
to increase the number of female agents.
They are really, really, really pushing to make that happen.
This woman's name was Michelle Hertzag, apparently having a bad
day. On Monday.
Last week, Secret Service agent arrived at Joint Base Andrews in
Maryland for the 0900 shift change for the security detail
for Vice President Kamala Harris, who was scheduled to
depart the base later that morning, apparently began
exhibiting strange behaviors. This one is my favorite.
Gained access to another agent's phone and proceeded to delete
apps on it. That's a thing you might do.
The man recovered, his phone, went about his business, and
then Herzig decided to completely lose it, started
throwing various items at people, including feminine
napkins that sounds disgusting, and warning her colleagues that
they were going to quote, UN quote, burn in hell and need to
listen to God. Well, that may be the case.
We can all agree that there's a possibility of burning in hell
and we should listen to God. I don't disagree with that.
But the special agent in charge attempted to intervene.
And then Herzik began allegedly screaming, insisting other
female agents on the security detail would support her and
that she needed to be able to continue to work.
And then it reached a tipping point where some sort of mental
health episode took over full bore.
We've seen things like this happen.
I've seen people break in training.
I've never seen a break in the field like this apparently
tackled the SAIC. The special agent in charge of
the detail tackled him to the ground, began punching him
repeatedly, and they were scared because she still had a weapon
in the holster. They managed to handcuff her,
secure the weapon and escort her from the presidences.
A source says she snapped entirely.
This goes back to a thing that happened in Dallas because she
used to be a Dallas police officer and apparently filed a
$1 million discrimination lawsuit that was thrown out by
the by the local courts there, saying that she was targeted and
treated less favorably because she's a woman.
DPD didn't much care for that. Didn't like fraternization.
Steve Friend, how do you feel about so-called diversity hires
with mental illness? Protecting the Vice president,
Where are we at? Well, I think it's consistent
with what we saw with the FAA, where they're gonna hire
dwarfism and retard epileptic seizures.
Yeah, and all that. I mean it's.
Diversity is our strength here. You.
Don't have. To say it terrifying.
I I actually read that article and started laughing at it
initially because it's it's absurd.
And then scroll back to the top and read it again to my wife out
loud and what? Just to watch her reaction Then
she started laughing. So it it's borders on the
absurd. This is what happens with
diversity, equity, inclusion being the highest priority.
This is the death of merit whatsoever.
There's there's an actual track record here of this person
demonstrating at least a proclivity to be litigious and
make false accusations. Because her lawsuit against the
Dallas PD was dismissed immediately.
Because it was completely absurd.
And yet, because we have the 30 by 30 initiative with the
federal government where they want 30% female workforce by
20-30 by definition, then you're not getting the most qualified
candidates and that's going to be up to and including the
person who's a heartbeat away from the presidency, her
protection. Let me tell you a little story
about a a woman that was in the FBI lawsuit suing the FBI for
not hiring enough women. Would you say is it fair to say
that women get a fair shake at the FBI Academy when you were
there? I think they get more than a
fair shake. That's what I'm going towards.
But yeah, so they get at least as much leeway and latitude as
men, but probably more. Can I tell you about the
candidate who they tied her shoes for her?
No. To make sure that they didn't
come on tied, they had to do a double knot.
It's a very super secret. Top secret secret clearance.
Sorry Sakti, giving away some methods and sources here they
tied her shoes for. Her And then they tied double
knot. So she didn't lose time if her
shoes became united during the fitness test.
OK, let me let me top that for you.
OK, so this girl's name was Elena, and Elena was immediately
the most ridiculous person in my Quantico class because she was
smaller than my wife, and my wife is not quite 5 feet tall.
She tells PEOPLE she's 5 feet tall, but she's actually a
little bit less than 5 feet tall, and she also wears.
She'd be good for the FAA, right?
She'd be outstanding. Yeah.
My wife is a Midget. Not a retard, though.
My wife is brilliant. So this lady, Elena, was in my
class. She was a Marine Corps gunnery
Sergeant, and she's the first Marine Corps gunnery Sergeant
that I've ever met that couldn't just live on nails and anger,
like eating raw steel and just spitting rage.
She was weak. She was frail.
We did DT defensive tactics on the mat.
And I remember, do you know what the hip up was?
Do you remember the hip up? Did they do that?
Yep. Can you?
Describe it your Your kids are doing it right now doing so.
Describe a hip up. It's when you're in a, you're
when you're mounted, you're on the ground, you're on the your
back and person's on top of you. You have to like propel your
hips upward. So that kind of throws their
balance off and it gives you an opportunity because their
balance is off. You can grab their arm, you can
roll and reverse it and you can get on top and that's sort of
situation. Have you ever had someone leave
the mat from a hip up? I'm not that look, I'm not that
strong. My biggest.
How close were you to the edge? Not that close, like my head was
firmly within the Blue Zone. OK.
Well, I mean, yeah, if you were not like half an inch away from
the edge, then I think that that's you.
You sent her at quite a distance.
I sent her several feet in the air with a hip up.
Now I've I've got inordinately large legs for my size.
I have kind of like a frog build a much lower like built down
there and that's I don't know this genetics but I did a hip up
which is like you said she's mounted.
She's sitting basically right at my pelvic girdle, and I've got
my knees bent, feet planted on the floor, and then I just
thrust upward, belly button up to the the ceiling and she left.
She didn't get off centered so that I could do whatever the
move was. She left and I got yelled at.
They're like, that's not the technique.
Seraphin, like, you know, it's like they're they're going to
come and yell at you no matter what.
She left the ground and was propelled off the mat.
And I was like, it was like fighting a toddler.
Like I could fight my daughter right now, who weighs 40
something pounds, and it would be, and she would have much more
of a monkey grip and spider sense than this girl did who
went flying. In any case, that's small.
I mean, maybe did she get up and have, like great tenacity at
that point? Or did she just cry in the
corner and suck her thumb? No, she was just confused about,
like, what happened because she didn't understand the exercise.
She was like, oh, she, you remember the the slalom course?
Everybody does the slalom course with the it's the most fun thing
in the world. The most fun is doing T VOC.
You want to tell people about T VOC a little bit 'cause I got A
and and what you remember of the slalom course.
Tactical emergency vehicle something course, it's basically
you just learn to drive up like a police car style because in
order to be an FBI agent, you're technically law enforcement.
So they teach you to to do the different variations like how to
brake, you know, drive if if maximum speed and then brake
really quick, do their braking course and then you have to
weave in and out of cones. And then there's this obstacle
course sort of set up for you to like navigate through it and you
can't do it too fast, You can't do it too slow.
You have no watch and you have to be able to do it, but you get
so many reps that it just becomes sort of wrote But
basically operating a vehicle, which for some people like
they're from New York City, they didn't have a driver's license.
That is this girl now. How long is the slalom course in
minutes. Do you have any idea you've been
on the outside of it? Man, was it like 2 1/2 minutes?
OK, very good. So the passing time is somewhere
like 2, 1/2, two 45. The Smokin studs were doing it
under 2 minutes. Yeah, the Marine helicopter
pilot that we had was doing it in like a minute 15 just you
know I. Because they're just freakish.
They know where the vehicle is. They understand the left right
balance and they're and and essentially you're driving
through some some sharp turns. If you hit cones, you lose time.
You're you're weaving backwards through a slalom course with the
cones. You're driving forward through
them and doing other things. You're doing some 3 point turns.
You're parking into like a a spot that's like a some kind of
a laid out square or rectangle, an open face rectangle, pull
into it, back out, spin around, J turn and stuff like that.
OK, so you've got about 2 1/2 minutes.
Do you want to take a guess how long it took this girl to to to
do this course? I I think that I'll probably
oversell it. I mean, if if it's anything
under 12 minutes, I'll be disappointed.
Kyle. Surfing.
It was over 14 minutes and she hit all the effing cones.
She just all the cones she might.
She wiped the course out in a 15 minutes.
It was like watching what I imagine Stevie Wonder drives
like it was a blind person who is also a Midget.
Taking out every cone, not being able to see out the rear
windshield, not being able to see out the front windshield,
not being able to see out the mirrors has and just just slow
motion car accident, destroying everything.
And you're watching this going dear God, that was her
evaluation after the training, by the way.
After she'd gone through the practice runs.
Her evaluation was north of 14 minutes.
I think it was in the 15 minute range.
It was absurd she failed that she failed things that you
couldn't even fail at the Academy.
You remember we shot a shotgun, but it wasn't for for like a
accuracy is familiarization. So there's weapons, there's
weapons qualifications. That means you get to carry the
weapon. There's weapons familiarization,
which means if you had to pick one up, you'd know how to use
it. She failed that she was unable
to hold on to a 12 gauge Remington 870.
It almost killed my friend. She let it.
She just let it fly. I've never seen this done
before. Essentially.
Imagine if you held it with no hands, with one balancing that
shotgun like on the front foregrip and then you pulled the
trigger while it was loosely touching your shoulder and the
shotgun just went wherever it went under its own power.
She did that multiple times and they kept picking it up off the
ground and giving it to her. Scared the shit out of
everybody. It's terrifying to watch a tiny
person like my wife is tiny and I've watched her shoot my
Benelli pump action and she's gone through with eight shells
in the in the tube and knocked out eight out of eight clays in
the sky with a tactical shotgun. That weighs way too much for
her. She has to, like, keep it at
low, ready right up-to-the-minute when she's like
flings it up into the action and then pulls the trigger and she's
still able to do that. This girl couldn't even hold a
short barreled 870. You.
You don't have to be Annie Oakley.
But if you're go entering a line of work, What?
Coming from one line of work, like a gunnery Sergeant in the
Marine Corps, and going into another one where you're
expected to be able to handle a weapon that shouldn't be
happening? Is she now?
Like what, a section chief somewhere?
No. No, no, this gets worse.
So she did everything bad possible At one point in time.
She went into a tactical entry. She went in and she entered a
room by herself and she covered down on the danger zone of a
couch that was against a wall with no, with no thing behind
it. Somebody had an armed
altercation with We're playing with SIM guns, people.
So you have to understand these are Glocks that have like SIM
rounds and they shoot this like paint marking pellet.
That really hurts. And so they're doing this guy
goes in, does a tactical entry. He's a friend of mine.
He was also an Army helicopter pilot.
He goes in and he like has some lady jump out of a closet with
like a knife or whatever it is. Pop, pop, pop.
He shoots her because that's a deadly force scenario.
That's what these are all about. She has a sympathetic firing
into a couch. She just shoots the couch, much
like the ESU unit shot into a barricade, most likely finger on
the trigger. Something happened around them.
When you get spooked, your your sympathetic nerves basically
fire that trigger because you just clench.
And so she clenched and she shot the couch.
Now you know, the SIM guns at Quantico are very, very poorly
maintained. They have no lubrication
whatsoever and they jam up all the time, basically every other
round. Yes, yes, they're her, and they
blame you for it. But you're not allowed to
actually disassemble it and clean it, right?
Right. But it's your fault.
She fired into the couch. Her gun didn't go back into
battery because it jammed. They said, did you fire your
weapon? She says no.
They're like we heard you, we heard you.
That's a that's a yeah, that's a that's a lie.
She didn't even know that. She fired the gun and they said,
why is your weapon out of battery?
And she said what is that this is?
Do you think it was like a Tesla, like the battery was low?
Bro, this is the end of the training.
They finally kicked her out because she shot.
I went and told, oh, she also jumped up like a couple times
and drew a weapon in like scenes where there was no reason to
draw a weapon. In all this training, she was
absolutely terrible. She failed fitness, had to do it
the second time, barely made it through if she did it all.
Or they cheated for her. She failed all the academic
tests. You can fail without being
locked out. She couldn't drive the car.
She couldn't hold on to a gun. She shot things that shouldn't
be shot, like couches, like all kinds of crazy stuff.
And they finally did that, like that video game where you're
standing in front of the video and you draw the weapon and you
shoot into the bad guy. The fat system where they have
that really deep voice, that Steve Baker voice that that
gives you the situation like you and your partner are going into
a situation. There's a there's a karate
expert hanging out in a doorway and they live inside.
They're inside. Of a warehouse.
Quantico would do it. And then they hit then the the
karate chopped lady. You know, whatever.
Anyway, she has no idea how to do any of this stuff, so she
gets eventually removed. They pulled us all out onto a
one of the the sports fields and they all made us say goodbye to
her except me. You can imagine, like, I just
don't have any tolerance for bullshit like that.
So I just stood there And so she said goodbye and cried and
everybody gave her hugs and all the girls were really sad for
her to leave. I was like, thank God this woman
is not getting a gun. She gets kicked out.
She filed A lawsuit against the FBI for not giving her a fair
break, despite the fact that they should have.
Like they should have sued her for some sort of lie that got
her into the Academy because she could not have been honest about
anything and whoever put her there, the applicant
coordinator, was a joke. She got hired by the Secret
Service after that and she went through Flexi.
Is she on the Vice President's? I don't think so.
She's not. She's not Michelle Hertzig, but
she was hired by Secret Service. Did make it through.
And when I told some of these stories and by the way, there's
like 10 or 12 more that are just insane how bad she was.
The I told some Secret Service guys that were on our JTTF when
I was at Washington Field and they called up their friends at
Flexi like a year and a half, two years later and they're
like, Oh my God, you can't let this girl through.
And they're like, OK, we've notified them, but it sounds
like she's already passed Flexi. They've given her enough
opportunities. She's going to the follow on
training for Secret Service. Absolutely terrifying to know
that's the diversity hire. I know that this stuff is
happening because I watched it and then I watched the single
least suitable person in federal law enforcement make it through
over to US Secret Service. It's so disappointing and gross.
And he thought, this is yeah, this is my experience.
Even just people that have made it through.
Not at an agent level. Look, I we had the intern in my
office in Daytona who I'm going to refer to as the intern
because I can't gender this person.
Because the intern was a girl one day And then the intern came
in the next day and was a boy and using the men's room and the
intern had blue hair and an active security clearance and
that was supposed to be OK with everyone.
And then the intern immediately finished up the internship and
got hired on full time to be in the some sort of tech analyst or
something like to that effect and went immediately to work in
headquarters city and I'm sure is well on the intern's way to a
really lucrative career. Yeah, that's how it works.
It turns out I'm going to pivot. First.
I want to say thanks to another one of our sponsors over here.
I'll talk to the guys over at Mad Hat Jerky, so we'll put that
on the board. This would be right up Steve's
alley. Steve eats almonds, but he
probably could also eat jerky. If you guys want to get your own
bag of highly tender, very flavorful, all natural Matt hat
jerky, go to matthatjerky.com/kyle, the promo
code. Kyle will save you 20% on that
order. Get yourself a variety pack.
They've got like the 14, the 12 bag.
I like the six bag of USDA primes.
Those are the most tender and the most tasty to me.
But if you want to get a little spice of everything, they've got
some that are Polynesian, they've got some that are called
Sweet Heat, They've got some that are Thai and Punjabi or
something like that. I don't know.
They've got all these different spice options.
I'm like not a big spice guy. I like it pretty straight down
the middle. The original is the best when it
comes to spice and the the black truffle is probably the second
best or close to the same. Check out those you can get a
big bag once you figure out what you like.
They make them as up as big as 12 or 6 oz.
So check out Mad Hat jerky.com/kyle and the promo
code Kyle. Let's let's do it.
Let's let's change it up a little bit.
James O'Keefe released his quote UN quote Bombshell which we
talked about a little bit and I and I would be wrong if we
didn't cover down on it because this ongoing it's not it's not a
feud. I just hate people who have
lacked they lack critical thinking.
This is the CIA's response. I want you to put yourself in
the press secretary's or the press officers shoes that gets
the call from James O'Keefe about some dude who's a
contractor that doesn't even work for the CIA as a as a blue
badge employee. This is a temporary employee
that's got long term temporary status and they're like we've
exposed you. What do you say?
And for me, and I'm going to cheat a little bit.
I'm going to tell you what I think.
I imagine this is like a a real group of people, a real company
or a real government agency getting a phone call from the
editor of a high school newspaper in a medium sized town
that is breaking a story that they don't quite understand.
But I'm going to get your take on it here.
Let's play this little video. This is James, I I chopped it
down a little bit because there's like some prequel to it.
That doesn't matter. OK, I am.
I just wanted to read you this statement and then I'm going to
hit send on it to you and it'll probably just take a minute to
populate in your inbox. Here you're going.
To be sending it to my e-mail, correct?
Yes, yes. I'll be responding all to your
e-mail and so you can attribute it to a CIA spokesperson.
And it'll say these claims about CIA are absolutely false and
ridiculous. CIA is resolutely a political
institution that provides objective intelligence support
to policy makers, including the President of the United States,
irrespective of who occupies his office.
Where a foreign intelligence focus agency do not monitor the
former president, the individual making these allegations is a
former contractor who does not represent CIA.
Got it, got it. So he, he's a former contractor.
When was he terminated? Was it after we gave the quotes
to you and Deloitte? I I I don't want to.
I don't. I don't.
Are we speaking? Can we speak off the record a
moment? We would like to know, is this
individual been terminated in the last 48 hours as a result of
what we've uncovered? The only on the record that I
have for you right now is is the statement that I I've provided.
OK, I am. I just wanted to read you the
statement and then I'm going to hit send on it to you.
All right, so there you go. You've seen the videos.
Let's talk about what was uncovered.
And Can you imagine if you went around telling people something
stupid about what the FBI holds and showing off your badge and
getting caught on camera with that?
Or showing your credentials to some kind of a chick on a date
you think you would be working there any longer.
Probably not, regardless. Of what you said, by the way.
You know, I I was thinking about everything that was exposed, you
know the the the Piltdown man story.
So this was like from the early 1900s, they said, scientists
said we found the missing link like to the CRO magneman to a
mankind. And for like 40 years there was
like his skeleton on display in museums.
And then finally they went and analyzed it and found out it was
like made of like paper mache and toothpaste and this
information, this bombshell information, anyone who I don't
know reads a book could pick up the plot against the president
by Lee Smith, which was written in 2019.
This stuff was exposed by Devin Nunes when he was on the House
Select Committee on Intelligence in 2018.
Nothing new. Or it's prefaced with things by
a guy, horny guy, on a date with a girl who's half his age saying
things like, well, I believe that etcetera, etcetera.
That qualifier itself says nothing that he is saying is
concrete or fact, and apparently no one.
What about the? Documents though.
What about the the documents they showed?
I don't. Even read their documents.
Oh, they didn't get any documents.
OK, got it. OK, so.
It's just a guy's opinion and and then they're so desperate.
You know in that that video there and and side note the
representative from the CIA with the uptalk.
Yeah awful. Awful.
But but she's reading an on record statement and they're
going to expose her right. Because they're going to record
all of it. They did expose all of.
That, and they showed her e-mail and her name, and that's fine.
And then she reads in the statement.
But then the point that he wants to get across is, well, because
of our investigation, this person was terminated, right?
We want to, we want to say that we had an impact.
We want to see. You got a a program manager
contract employee. Who works for Deloitte?
OK, congratulations. Right.
So green badge is a is a non temporary or is a non permanent
employee. That's somebody who's temporary
and they're usually paid through some kind of a contract.
Somebody else gets money, pays them.
So they're an employee of Deloitte assigned to the FBICIA
whatever it may be doing some kind of work and we'd have those
and I'd see them every once in a while and various different
things. Washington Field has a lot more
contractors probably than you had in your building.
And then and we actually had one that was really dude, we had, we
had like a 400 LB fat lady that was a contractor.
She was the one that always put CNN on in in Las Cruces.
Her name was Candy. There's like nothing more gross
than a 400, a 400 LB Woman named Candy.
I don't know why that was such a negative.
She was also mad that Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted.
Like if you that tells you how loony she was.
Are there Looney Tunes people in the federal government?
For sure. Are they leftist?
Yeah. Is the CIA and a political
organization. The agency is not the people who
run it are political appointees. Those are all true.
But as you said, Lee Smith 2019, the the Horowitz Report, going
back in 2019 as well the Durham report which came out in 2023,
All of these things have pointed out that the FBI, the CIA, the
intelligence agencies are all of these things.
They are partisan agencies run by partisan hacks pushing down
partisan agendas. That's not, that's not anything
that is factual. What I would say is this,
because I want to be really fair, that date, which I think
is shit journalism. I think it's a terrible way to
go about it. Honeypot, grinder, Tinder.
Journalism is garbage. You're going to get people that
are thinking with their their lower member, especially dudes.
That could be a starting point for your investigation.
That could be the allegation or information that something is
going on, and then you do an investigation.
Does that sit well with you as an idea?
I think that that's fair. I mean you have to start at the
starting point and you work your way up.
But they're not doing an investigation like a law
enforcement, which they'll be say quick to say, well, we're
not a fed boy like you've Kyle. We don't do law enforcement.
Investigation. We don't know how to do
investigations. We just find the lowest hanging
fruit possible and put it out there because we've got a
quarterly fundraising goal to hit and this is going to help us
do it. So the guys at Project Veritas
and the gals that I used to know refer to this as what's called
smash and grab. And they were trying to get away
from those kind of stories as the as the agent or the entity
broke up as as Project Veritas stopped being one of the things
they were trying to do is more long form, long term.
It's expensive. It takes time.
You have to actually build fact patterns and there has to be
more than just a guy saying some things that are not you know
anyway validated that don't have the position that that the
authority, the access the placement to be able to evaluate
that. I want you to play and don't
take my word for it folks. You heard the CIA say it was
utterly ridiculous. Now, I want you to listen to
Donald Trump. This is the strongest point that
you can make. Donald Trump is a man known for
hyperbole. Would that be fair, Steve?
Well, he only hires the best people.
Only the best people. We're only hiring the best.
Like, we got the hugest thing right.
Donald Trump is Mr. Over the Top exaggeration.
That's his brand. His brand is gold toilets.
His brand is saying everything is bigger, better, more
beautiful, more incredible. The best that anyone's ever
seen. No one's ever done anything like
this. That's Donald Trump.
And I don't hate him for that because I understand what Donald
Trump is, and I understand who Donald Trump is.
And Donald Trump got that going way before I was even born.
So Donald Trump gets to be able to do that just because he
predates me. Donald Trump doesn't call this a
bombshell revelation. He doesn't call this a massive
reveal or exposure of the deep state.
Listen to what he says. Listen to his own words, folks.
We're going to break it down in one second because this is huge.
Mr. President, your reaction to this videotape of the CIA
individual talking about how the CIA director has withheld
information from you? What's shocking To see how
stupid somebody can be. If this guy's for real, you
ought to get rid of him. CIA, Central Intelligence
Agency. This is not an intelligent guy
to be openly talking to a woman that walks up and starts asking
him questions and talking that way so he may be bragging or
showing off to some young lady. I have no idea the conditions
under which he spoke, but I'd get rid of him real fast.
If he's for real, get rid of him.
He doesn't mention the fact that the CIA is obviously a partisan
organization that's come after me aggressively.
He doesn't. And that's not because he scared
folks. It's because he knows what the
CIA is. Because Donald Trump has run a
bunch of companies and probably knows what an org chart looks
like. And also knows what a temporary
contractor who works for Deloitte knows and doesn't know
and has never seen one of them in the Presidential Daily
briefing, which is the Intel report that the president
receives every single day coming in from all the Intel agencies.
He knows that no green badger has ever been part of those
briefings. What do you think?
I also think that Devin Nunez is, I think the CEO of True
Social. I would think that that
information maybe, you know, through osmosis or was directly
given to Donald Trump at some point in the last six years.
Yeah, he nothing new, nothing, but he's just saying you have a
problem people with your employees or your contractors.
So I'm going to do The Apprentice thing and be like
you're fired. You're fired.
Yeah, you're dumb. You were trying to impress a
lady. I don't know the terms under
which it was, but it sounds like he's not intelligent.
We're talking about Central Intelligence.
You got to get out. Very easy.
Donald Trump is correct, by the way.
Totally correct. Spot on, Nails it.
IA 100% agree with Donald Trump in this particular evaluation.
It's a fair assessment. And you'll notice he stays away
from any of that hyperbolic language, which is kind of the
brand of Donald Trump. That should tell you something,
folks. He's not going to go out there.
They may be campaigning on it. They may be going out and
getting some fundraisers because people do dumb things when they
get emotionally triggered and they think they're supporting
it. But his words are not going to
be attributed to it. His campaign might try to get
money out of it. I think they probably will.
This is just the same cautionary tale of if you see a story, it's
the same. Your brain's broken, right?
Be skeptical and don't just accept things because they
affirm your narrative. If you see a story that affirms
all of your predetermined biases ahead of time, you need to
actually take a moment to consider the source.
Does this person have the access?
Is there a reason they would have this information?
We know that he's a contractor for a program manager for a
cyber area. I don't think he's interfacing
with Mike Pompeo very much, but because you want to believe,
look at the sign over your shoulder.
I want to believe. I will just believe.
And the information he's saying is true but it's not new.
It's not a bombshell it's not doesn't certainly warrant I'm
going to throw a whole bunch of money at these guys for exposing
things that were already true. It's it's no different than like
ADOD employee saying like they let me tell you about Operation
Overlord. This thing we got going on, man
we're going to storm the beaches in Normandy Like I I I know I I
saw Saving Private Ryan. It's kind of been out there for
a while. It's been in the in the space.
The other thing is this. There's nothing I'm doing to
quote, UN quote, discredit other than I think his methods are
poor and the guy is lazy. It's just laziness at this
point. There is a possibility to do
real things. The stuff that they did with Act
Blue and some of the folks that had supposedly been giving
donations and then they didn't go out there and follow on it.
Like that's a five year story that you rundown political
corruption the same way we showed Jennifer Jennifer Van
Lauer over at Red State doing it.
She's watching the money trails. Who is donating money?
Did they actually donate money? Did they know that they were
actually supporting Stanford and some kids robotics team so they
can get a scholarship? Did they know what they were
doing when they gave money? O'Keefe actually ran that down.
That was like the last thing that he did that was of any
value to me. But the reason why you don't
take people out of context on a flippin date, Imagine trying to
get your source like undercover, hooked up on that, where the
person is going out there and getting statements.
Those are going to be, they're going to be background
information only. Because unless you're getting
that person representing information, knowing that
they're representing information, and knowing that
they are accountable for the things they're saying.
This is a guy that's just talking about how cool he is and
how he helped take down a president because he thinks the
journo is a pretty girl who's obviously a leftist.
That's what you would be if you're a pretty girl in
Washington, DC Favorable odds, you're dealing with somebody who
sits on the political left, age, you know, and and looks and
gender all kind of play into that.
And so they're doing an assessment.
Anyhow, you're you're on your best behavior on a date.
You just are, I mean, and you're trying to put your best foot
forward unless you have ill intentions, but he's courting
this woman and he wants to puff himself up like that.
That's context that needs to have some sort of analysis.
You also saw that he he he shows in the in the video he shows AM
and IC badge and she's like it doesn't even say that you work
at CIA and he's like that's the point.
I'm like, no that's AIC badge, dude.
Everybody gets AIC badge. It's the intelligence community
badge and it gives you badge access to the doors at State
Department and at Langley which I never went to Langley but I
did go to State and use it one time.
You could use it at FBI headquarters.
If you don't have a headquarters ID badge it'll get you into the
basics. You probably can go over to NSA
or NRO or any of these things. I had one and I had one and I
had one right out of the gate. I had no reason to have one
other than I worked on CI And they're like at some point you
may need to go have a meeting somewhere.
It'll. I don't think it gets you in the
DoD. I still have to go through the
gates at Pentagon. But you know I've worked with
all these people. I know what what bullshit looks
like. And it's sad that so many people
are uncritical about it because they're so excited to believe
something. There's no critical thought
going on. All right, I'm going to go into
the the weekend with a red pill because it's funny and before we
do that, I want to throw over to sponsor my pillow.
You guys can check out mypillow.com/kyle.
My wife just bought sheets at the same time.
Bed sheets at the same time I did not.
Bed sheets, What do we call them?
Bath sheets. Bath sheets are the huge towels.
So she got towels from her company and I've got my pillow
ones coming in. We're going to compare them.
I thought mine arrived yesterday.
I was going to be able to show you guys.
It was huge. So we'll see if the if the my
pillow is bigger. mypillow.com/kyle
mypillow.com/kyle. Use the promo code Kyle for up
to 50% off the stuff. Over on Mike Lindell's website.
You guys can get slippers and slides and towels.
If you're my kind of guy you're going to get huge towels, Huge
Donald Trump sized towels. You can also get sheets and and
bedding and even make mattresses now and mattress toppers.
Check out mypillow.com/kyle if you want to support the program
and you're in the market for that sort of thing.
As Steve Frank calls them, drop sheets.
If you're a creepy dude who brings too many people into your
bed and you need drop sheets, we should send some.
Well, maybe James is using some of that My Pillow promo code.
What do you think? That could definitely take
advantage of the 50% off if you find yourself with one of those,
you know, Hamas supporting UCLA students.
Yeah, you got to burn the sheet after that.
Gross got people. People reacted to you saying
that those girls couldn't, couldn't get anything like what
it was 2. Weeks.
It's always the things that you just never expected.
People super passionate. Yeah, they got really
passionate. They said it would take a fatal
amount of beer to get those girls laid.
I thought that was really funny. So if you guys didn't see our
show 2 weeks ago with Steve on it, you can check it out there.
OK, let's get black pill here. Can we get black pill?
That's the when we lose all hope.
This is a little video I'm going to end with for the week.
His name is Jared Bernstein. Jared Bernstein was born
December 26th, 1955. He's an economist in America and
he's the chair of the United States Council of Economic
Advisors. He's a senior fellow at the
Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.
He has been put as the 31st chair of the Council of Economic
Advisors by Joe Biden. He was sworn in and assumed
office July 10th of 2023. He is the chief, or at least one
of the chief economic advisors of the president right now.
And here he is talking about money.
Are you Steve or you've seen this already, right?
Yes, I have, and it's very entertaining.
Now, you know a little bit about money.
You've got that accounting background in there.
I want you to just go ahead and bite something wooden so you
don't scream when you hear this guy do.
Some descriptions, folks. These are the adults that are in
charge. Remember DS and CS on the
ballot? The Biden administration only
hires the best adults to run things.
This is a man who's in charge of advising the president on the
economy, which is probably why it's doing so well right now.
The US government can't go bankrupt because we can print
our own money. It obviously begs the question,
why exactly are we borrowing in a currency that we print
ourselves? I'm waiting for someone to stand
up and say why don't we borrow our own currency in the first
place? Like you said, they print the
dollar, so why? Why does the government?
Even borrow. Well, the so.
The, I mean, again some of this stuff gets some of the language
that the MMM some of the language and concepts are just
confusing. I mean the government definitely
prints money and it definitely lends that money, which is why
the government definitely prints money and then it lends that
money by by selling bonds. Is that what they do?
They they they, yeah, they they they sell bonds.
Yeah. They sell bonds, right.
Since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and lend them the
money. Yeah.
So a lot of times, a lot of times, at least in my ear with
with MMT the, the language and the concepts can be kind of
unnecessarily confusing. But there is no question that
the government prints money and then it uses that money to.
So yeah, I I I guess I'm just I don't I can't really talk.
I don't I don't get it. I don't know what they're
talking about like, because it's like the government clearly
prints money, it does it all the time and it clearly borrows
otherwise we wouldn't be having this debt and deficit
conversation. So I don't think there's
anything confusing there. There's nothing confusing about
that, Steve. The government definitely prints
the money, but it definitely borrows the money and it
definitely has the bonds. Would you agree that that man,
he talks to the to the customers so the goddamn engineers don't
have to? Is that what's going on in?
There, Does he? Do you take the orders
physically? No.
The customers. I mean, sometimes what my
secretary does. Maybe he could just leave the
Biden White House and invent a mat that you could jump to
conclusions. This is a horrible idea.
It's horrible, guys. If you don't watch, if you've
never seen Office Space. That's what we're doing right
now. This guy desperately needs a
meeting with the Bobs. Would you agree?
Yes, he does. He's been missing a lot of work
lately too, I mean. Look, he he seems like he's got
got his bleep together and he's got mid, mid, mid level
management written all. Over he's.
Super motivated Modern Monetary Theory.
You can just print money for EVs.
That's that's where he's going to look down his nose.
And let me tell you it's it's very complicated.
It's above your head, which is why we can say things, you know,
like slideshow. Bob KJP can go out there and
when she's asked about inflation, she can deflect
because she's clearly been told don't say the word inflation
ever. So we're going to call it
consumer confidence. Consumer.
Confidence. Consumer confidence is up and
people are like, oh, that sounds pretty good to me.
People are pretty confident in the economy.
That's why they're spending all that extra money on the yellow
tag beef. That's why.
That's why the beef that expires today is still more expensive
than the than the premium beef that was like, a year ago.
It's still good, dude. I I've never that was the most
circular. Like that was a man chasing his
own tail but doing it verbally. He was so caught off guard by
the question that he hadn't even considered was a very basic
question that he was going back to Macroeconomics 101 in his
mind, like, all right, what was I taught?
So the government prints money, right, right.
And he was, you could see that process going out out loud.
And these are the quote, UN quote experts.
Make sure you trust the experts. They're not totally just flying
us into the side of a mountain. That was totally mysterious to
him and he worked out that he didn't understand it.
And he came back to the point that I can't understand it.
I can't explain it to you. I actually don't even know why
we're asking this question. That's where he landed.
He landed it like basically it obviously makes sense because we
do it. Just just trust the process, is
that guy Q, do you think? If he's not not married to Lara,
Logan is. He oh God.
We're not getting in there. We're not We're not doing.
We're not we're not taking stabs at poor Laura Logan who I I
actually do. Pity.
Yeah. The hope is is that none of the
serious people watch stuff like that.
These are the real powers behind the throne.
Now you want to do. You want to do in an interview
with somebody and you want to follow down on who the evil
doers are. How about we go find out why
nobody in Congress has made any movements on FISA?
How about we find out why we have the Jacksonville RA
Building, a brand new FBI building that's going to cost
millions of dollars? It costs.
Do they have a skiff in it? Do they have a skiff in your old
one? Yes, they will.
Millions of dollars to put a skiff into a building and to
certify and brand new property and all this kind of craziness.
That's where we should be seeing like real investigative
journalist going after and try to ask these hard questions and
then when you get fools, that is not evidence, by the way.
What we just showed. That's just a place to go.
Oh my God, this guy doesn't know anything.
Maybe we should dig into his dissertation for whatever
advanced degrees he has. Does he know and did he ever
know anything? Is he just old and senile, or is
he, like so many of these people that are DEI hires, completely
out of his depth with his experience and his capabilities
in the position that he's currently in?
It's the Reagan quote that you like to play that.
It's not that they don't know anything, it's that they know so
many things that aren't true. This guy doesn't seem to know
anything for just the basic. He he actually good on him for
actually admitting, Look, I don't know what I'm talking
about, but I'm doing it eloquently and articulately.
So just believe me when I say that we're just going to print
all the money. Let me all the money.
Let me just interrupt. Seek you find, Q said.
Gold and silver, our money. Everything else is a currency.
I think that also brass and lead and other precious metals that
make up ammo like copper are also money.
I'm just saying I I have an amount of of small 22 rounds all
the way up to like big shells that we can do in various
denominations handing over a box that's worth over 100 bucks.
I think we could do that. We could do ammo as as our
currency if we really need to. But anyway, that's a.
That's just an aside. As long as you don't have a 12
LB trigger pull, you're good. That was a great little loop
back. Sorry, NYPD.
I'm sorry, you guys, that those people hate gun.
Steve, I'm going to give you the the last word on promoting the
amrad whatever you guys have coming up tomorrow.
And yeah, then we'll shut the sucker down for episode 300.
Episode 300. Congratulations again on that.
The American Radicals podcast will be on episode 61 tomorrow
on Saturday, noon time, on rumblerumble.com/amrad Pod.
We're doing an interview. We have Mark Crider, sheriff
from Walla Walla, WA, former FBI agent and whistleblower.
And he was an F-14 Naval aviator.
He was a backseater. He was Goose, so he came and
joined us and told his story, which I think is worth telling
and digging into because the more things change, the more
they say the same as they were for him, as it was for all of us
with our ex-girlfriend. Thanks for being on for this
episode. Thanks for fighting the powers
that be with me and also have a little bit of levity and humor.
It was enjoyable. We'll shut this one down there.
Steve I've got I'm going to jump over to a five star review and
then we will get out of here. But thanks for joining me and
Fall Steve at Real Steve Friend personally.
You can follow him at Real Steve Friend on Twitter also known as
X. And then you can find him at
Real under score Steve Friend on Truth.
That was a weird appreciation I feel about.
I feel weird about that. Well, it's all right.
We'll all take any followers at this point, because, you know.
Steve is time for tough. Yes, Steve is search banned to
the point where we look to see if he was shadow banned and it
says this account doesn't exist. And then you click on the
account and it shows 58,000 followers.
You're like, good God, yeah. So Steve, sorry that you're
being stifled right now. Maybe your sensors will take the
break off for the weekend. People can follow you.
Alright, but we'll do this again soon.
You got it. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
that is the show for the day. We're going to remind you of the
merch store you guys can support Garrett Boyle.
The suspendable not on camera right now.
Actually, pray for Garrett right now too, if you would.
He's traveling this this weekend and he's going to be attending a
memorial service for a friend of his who committed suicide, who
who gave up and was a final casualty.
If you haven't read his sub stack, it's last line sub stack.
You should check that out. Last line.substack.com and it
says that only the dead see the end of war.
I think that's a real poignant thing.
We're wearing the last line sub stack in black in in that sort
of tribute. You guys can support him and the
the sweatshop over there at the Dash suspendables.com that
directly funds and helps out Garrett's wife, the Dash
suspendables.com. You can use promo code Kyle over
there. That'll save you 10%.
Again, that's just something we promote because he's our guy.
And you'll see that I've got the I've got the shirt up on the
screen here in the in the the green or you can do the black on
black if you want to. But Garrett will take your
prayers right now. I know it's a rough time,
especially when you're going back and meeting with a bunch of
old military friends that you haven't been in touch with.
And the reason that you're doing so is because somebody has
decided to to quit the fight. And and you know I've had
friends who have done that too. And I've been the person that
was called. When that happens, you go sit
with somebody who's surviving a husband or a wife and it's it's
really hard to be in that, especially when they've been
fighting a demon a long time that a lot of people couldn't
tell from the outside. So anyway, give your support to
Garrett and we appreciate all of you, the followers of the show.
We lost a few. We gained a few.
We're going to just keep trudging on.
We're only going to speak about the things we know are true.
And you guys can also find Steve's book on Amazon.
Still. Thanks for reminding me about
that in the chat, True Blue. And you can find that on Amazon.
We have been linking it forever. But yeah, go out there and and
get a copy of Steve Books if you haven't.
And you'll also see about 40 pages of unredacted garbage from
the FBI and what it looks like to go in and and be part of one
of those meetings. You can actually sit there and
get a transcript of how awful some of these people are and how
badly they treated me and my friends.
Most of my friends I don't. I don't take on a lot of
sympathy for myself. I take on sympathy for my kids.
All right, that is it for the day.
Let's do a five star review 'cause we do really appreciate
all of you. The show is for you, the
listener. This is from L Diddy, 33, coming
in last week, says Suspendables Rule 5 stars.
Love the show and all your content.
I would love to see you keep an undefeated record by destroying
James O'Keefe in a cage. Dana White, Let's get it on.
Oh, let's get on this same idea. Cage fight.
I'll do it. I don't care.
I have AI have a 0 and 0 and 0 boxing record in amateur boxing
and no professional record. But you know, I do know how to
throw a punch and I have hip thrown a small FBI trainee off
the mat, so I don't know, we could do full contact MMA.
That'd be interesting. I got a little bit of BJJ
training. Whatever.
Set it up. You guys set it up, I'll show
up. Maybe we can raise some money
for a good cause, like taking care of real whistleblowers that
have done some good things. And I want to also call out just
a really big rumble rant here that just popped up and this is
from from Ute $200 thrown in saying Ephesians 612.
Folks, you can look that up. I don't have time to pull it
right now and I don't have it off the top of my head, but I'll
be reading that shortly. Thank you so much for that and
we appreciate all of you. I hope you have a wonderful
weekend. I hope you are not too black
pilled, knowing that the adults are not in charge and that our
economy is run by morons. That's probably obvious at this
point. Big thank you to all of you that
have been financially supporting us, financially supporting
Marcus Allen, Garrett, O'boyle, buying stuff from the merch
shop, buying Steve's book, all of that.
We're really appreciative here on this 300 episode, and I
really appreciate the fact that we are actually in a place where
we can do 300 episodes of a podcast, try to bring it to you
straight. We're not going to compromise on
principles. We're not going to compromise on
ethics and we're not going to compromise on values.
Nobody owns us. Nobody tells us what to say.
It's just whatever's in my heart and whatever the Spirit moves me
to, not always the nicest, but we are going to give it to you
straight. You'll know exactly what we
mean. So thanks so much.
We'll see you guys again on Monday.
Have a safe weekend, have a prayer for weekend, maybe
disconnect like I'm going to do from social media and God bless
you. See you then.
