Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and
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. Hello my friends, and welcome to
the Kyle Serfin Show. Today is Tuesday, it is the 26th
of August and thank you so much for being here.
We're a little bit late this morning because the thing that's
never happened before decided to happen just now and the podcast
wasn't going to stream. So that's always interesting.
And you know what, I read something about this the other
day that I'm going to share. So we're going to lead off with
a, a statement and A, and a maybe an explanation from a guy
named Bill Taylor. He did a podcast with Judicial
Watch recently. He goes by at RETFBI over on X
and I spoke with him yesterday and I'm going to be speaking
with him today. Interestingly enough, we're
going to be doing a Sunday sit down interview to talk about
being an FBI whistle blower and what that does to you and what
it's done to the folks that have done it.
And he articulated it in a way that I think you should hear
because it explains a lot of the negativity, It explains a lot of
the generally pessimistic outlook and attitude, and it
actually explains a little bit about what happened this
morning. Whether or not it makes any
sense, I'll just shit sit, share this right up front.
I've never had this issue before and we've done almost 650
podcasts. So we're either constantly
finding out new limits and new problems that exist in a
computer system that's been running for two years, or weird
things are happening. The downside of trying to rush
back into it after getting it fixed is that I'm going to be
doing a grab bag and digging through my my video clips for
you guys today because it's not going to be nearly as polished
because the entire system had to be crashed down and then rebuilt
back up. So it's kind of interesting to
feel that it's kind of interesting to to see it.
And even worse, one of the things that I had queued up for
you guys was a scroll screen of a couple of different browser
windows and I want to share with them.
So it's going to take me a second to grab them.
Well, before we get into that, let's do let's do a read for one
of our sponsors. These are the kind of people
that keep us on the air. And we really appreciate that
they're willing to, you know, put their time and their money
and their their treasure and, and the reputations to stake it
with us so that they can find clients like you.
But more importantly, so, you know, we're able to continue
doing what we do. I'm going to recommend right now
our friends at Patriot Protect. If you guys don't want to be a
victim of cyber scammers and scumbags and criminals that are
out there looking for your data, you can check out my friends at
patriot-protect.com/kyle. There have been 10s of millions,
if not hundreds of millions of passwords breach.
The most recent one that we see here is an AT&T breach.
I actually see them almost every single week and they go widely
uncovered because they're not particularly interesting,
because they're so common. They are interesting if they end
up stealing things from you, if these hackers, these criminals,
if these scammers end up getting access to your information, it
can be a really big deal. And doesn't matter whether it's
your bank accounts or your e-mail provider, your healthcare
portal, records, government services.
OPM lost all of my data. Criminals don't have to
necessarily hack. They simply just go out there
and find out a data breach and then they take your stuff.
They can pretend to be you or they can call you and pretend to
be a legitimate company that you work with.
Patriot Protect solve some of these problems by removing your
personal information like your name, your address, your phone
number and more or your e-mail addresses from public websites.
There are over 100 people search and data broker websites.
I use them all the time. They are very helpful if you
were trying to run down people. You can find out name, you can
find out address, you can find out associations.
It could be very, very helpful. You want your name out of these
piles. This is not the old days where
you can just pick up a phone book and the person would be
living down the street from you in a world where you want to
keep an eye on your cyber data. Patriot Protect helps remove
them and their blackout service is scanning the dark web looking
to see if somebody sold your stuff so that you know that you
can change them and not become a victim. patriot-protect.com/kyle

the annual and and then you just don't have to worry about nearly
as much. You want to make sure that
you're a harder target than than you could be.
All right, we're going to get into today's program.
It's going to be a little bit a little bit more rocky since we
were fighting uphill against technology issues.
I'm going to read you something very shortly.
All right, my friends. So I'm going to have to capture
a screen here real quickly. And as I do so, oh, look, there
it is. There's screen capture and it
might even be there. All right, we're going to have
to resize. So bear with me as I resize a
screen that I want to read from you.
This is coming from Bill Taylor's Twitter feed.
And it's something that happened on the heels of a little meeting
that went down in Chuck Grassley's office.
And there was some reactions to it and what we found, unlike
this audience maybe, or maybe like some of the people in this
audience, there are some folks that are really not pleased with
the way that I conduct myself on X.
And I want to explain to you guys something because there is
a myth, a method to the madness. There is a purpose for the way
that I actually do business over there.
And it may not be obvious because I'm not very nice.
If you guys noticed, I'm a lot different in real life.
And people who've met me this weekend got to find that out,
you know, pretty personable guy. I'm just like everybody else.
I'll talk to you. We'll have a nice conversation
on top of that, You know, you watch the podcast and you're
like, yeah, this guy is vitriolic over on X Yeah,
there's a reason. And what I'm doing over there is
I'm grabbing attention in a very mean way because somebody has to
lay down on the barbed wire so that the folks who need to be
made whole, my friends, Garrett O Boyle, Steve Friend, people
like Zach Schostall. There's others whose names are
not necessarily public but should be.
Robin Gray's is another one. You know, Robin and I don't
necessarily see eye to eye on a lot of things.
And yet she went head to head against some really evil people,
including the folks that helped weaponize our FBI.
So she should be made whole. Somebody's got to lay on the
barbed wire so these people can get over the top of it.
Somebody needs to continue to make noise and hurt the feelings
of not just the other team, the Chris Rays and the Paula Bates
and so on. Someone needs to piss off Cash
Patel and explain to him that he in his little sort of
dictatorship over there and flying off to Scotland like he
did yesterday to go play golf or whatever the hell he does.
He needs to go and make it right for these people.
I'm going to read you something that that Bill Taylor wrote a
couple days ago and it's really stuck with me.
This is only about four days old now.
I'm going to read directly quote, retaliation from the FBI
is meant to be personally destructive.
A whistleblower will be ostracized, gathlet and
ultimately betrayed by colleagues and the institution
supposedly devoted to justice. Being a whistleblower will
financially ruin you, strain or destroy your relationships with
family, and cause significant depression.
You will develop paranoia because you know the FBI
surveillance and the investigative tactics first
hands neighbors that suddenly treat you differently.
You'll think it's because the FBI interviewed them.
A work truck with a box storage that you've never seen before
parked across the street for your home as a stationary
surveillance van glitches in your home network.
All the FBI, your ability to trust is completely destroyed.
I have goosebumps from all this stuff because this is so.
It's so interesting to see somebody else's thoughts mirror
your own, he said. I'll never criticize the way a
whistle blower reacts to the retaliation.
They have every right to call for the abolition of the FBI and
they have every right to venomously hate the FBI.
That actually goes government wide folks.
Every piece of the government that comes after somebody should
make you hate that group of the government they have.
They have betrayed the one thing that they exist to do, which is
to protect the American people from force and fraud to help us
live our lives more free. And yesterday I got into a back
and forth discussion with someone who's clearly a leftist
and clearly doesn't know anything and said no, no, no,
the government grants US rights under the Constitution and Bill
of Rights. This failure of our education
system is so obvious that when you start interacting with
people who don't agree with you politically, they don't even
know the right answers. They're not even basing their
opinions based on historical fact.
They don't know that the people that founded this country were
Christians and Deists and believed in a in a right that
pre existed Our government to the purpose of the government is
to make sure that it protects those rights.
And the Bill of Rights is that leash.
The Constitution is a limit and a check on what can and cannot
exist. And when we've experienced it
and those of us who have know exactly what I'm talking about.
When it fails to do its basic purposes, which is protect you
from those around you, because otherwise the alternative is
posse justice. It's anarchy, it's vigilantism.
That's the trade off, right? We outsource vengeance, we
outsource violence to the government of this country at
the state and the federal level so that we don't have to engage
in it ourselves because we'd like to see it take some of the
emotion out of it. We want to take some of the
passion away from how angry we are when someone does this
wrong. And then you have this
opportunity where a lot of people end up forgiving and they
end up being like wildly Christian in spite of the fact
that they feel animosity and anger towards those who have
wronged them, who have killed a family member, who've stolen
their life savings, who have defrauded their loved ones or
something. And then we outsource it to a
theoretically an impartial jury of our peers.
That system is basically over right now because it has been so
over politicized at the state and the federal level, where all
of our systems of justice are not functioning as we expect
them to. So we can't expect real justice
and we cannot expect even the systems that are supposed to be
apolitical and just play a role in making sure that things work
smoothly because they all want to weigh in.
When you talk to people inside of these agencies and you
realize that their thumb is on the scale that they are looking
for outcomes and not fair process, then you know it's
over. And that is a part of of being
like an institution based whistleblower.
If you come forward and you say, hey, I worked for fill in the
blank agency. I worked at the Department of
Homeland Security and I saw them using surveillance tactics on
planes to surveil political foes, people who just disagreed
with us but represented no threat.
And we spent 10s of thousands of dollars a day, millions of
dollars a year on nothing. Yesterday, I had a clip queued
up from a spokesperson from DHS. Interestingly enough, as usual,
it's this like young female person who's a spokesperson and,
and doesn't know what she's talking about, but she's saying
the right thing. She just never experienced it.
And then you see what the actual message was.
And it was that Tulsi Gabbard is essentially has said, we are now
weighing in on what should be done at DHS and we are getting
rid of quiet skies. We've actually covered quiet
size here. I may be able to pull this clip
up in real time. Like I said, I'm going to be
kind of kind of producing at a little bit of a slower pace
right now. I want to actually play this
lady from yesterday. She has no first hand experience
and I can tell just because I'm listening to her talk and she's
not outraged. Here you go.
The Quiet Skies program is gone. The people who experienced
weaponized government come after them are the right people to
reform it. It turns out if your only goal
was to call out your victimhood in order to make money and not
to achieve an end, then you're not my person.
You're not the person that I thought you were.
That's what we've seen in the current FBI director.
It's expected because, you know, people like the deputy director,
Dan Bongino, he never experienced the government
coming after him. Not not in a meaningful way.
Not like Gerardo Boyle's family. Did you know he didn't watch his
little girls not be able to access their coats in the middle
of the Wisconsin winter because a evil group of people that
worked behind the scenes in human resources or an inspection
division over at the Bureau decided that they were going to
F him over. Their words, not mine, but Tulsi
Gabbard did get to see that. And then she got to see the
documents. And when you understand what
that portrayal is like, I work for this organization.
I hold a position of trust, right?
She was a, she was a what, Lieutenant Colonel in the
National Guard. So a position of trust as an
officer with people that have to look up to her and salute her
and do what they, what she says, lawful orders.
And then you find out that your own government, which put you in
that position, was also stalking you.
As you moved across the states, as you flew somewhere, you'd
find that there was a surveillance team that was in
tow 2 to 6 people. And they could have been going
after terrorists. They could have been watching
somebody who was dangerous. What they found out with this
Quiet Skies program is that it never actually did the thing
that it was supposed to do. It resulted in 0 terrorists
identified or or zero terrorist arrests.
So nobody ever experienced like justice from it.
It just it like inevitably became a weaponized program.
Here's a childish sounding spokesperson saying the right
things. But again, I'm almost irritated
as much by the message or the messenger of the message,
because she clearly has no idea how visceral this is for those
of us who lived it. It's gone for good, Dagnit.
Good riddance. Because that program quiets guys
under the guise of national security.
What it really did was weaponize national security against those
less favored political opponents and to benefit their political
friends. So the Biden administration, for
example, went after Tulsi Gabbard.
But as well, they used the program to benefit their
friends, like Senator Sheehan out of New Hampshire.
Her husband was traveling with a known or suspected terrorist
Three times. He was put on quiet skies
because of this, but then was immediately taken off because
the senator made a call to the TSA administrator.
So this program was completely broken, was completely
corrupted. And this is just more of the
exploitation and the corruption that we found that was in our
government and under the guise of national security.
Dagon. Tricia, the program's over, but
what about all the people that were caught up in this?
What's next for them? We've had some firings.
We'll continue to have some firings.
But, David, it is absolutely egregious the fact that this
program was costing US taxpayers $200 million per year, and yet
not since its existence, which it started in 2012 under
President Obama, there hasn't been a single terrorist caught
under this program or a single terrorist attack prevented from
this program. It's Tricia McLaughlin.
She is the DHS assistant secretary for public affairs.
She's not particularly coherent. She's not a good communicator.
She doesn't have a particularly enjoyable voice to hear.
She's not a great messenger for that message.
Steve Friend needs a job. He's a great communicator.
You look at some of these people that are in these positions,
you're like, why? She's moderately pretty.
So Steve Friend, by the way, he's kind of kind of a pretty
guy. Shaved, I don't get it.
She's talking about $200 million a year on not catching any
terrorists. That should piss you off.
This should piss you off. This is a website that I
constantly reference here and I've done it since the beginning
of the podcast. It's something I started
scrolling and being aware of when I when I was working on
surveillance. If you want to know the scope of
the problem, you go look and find out people who have the
data. Just the simple, the simple
facts, they have no emotions, they're just numbers.
And heyjackass.com is one of those great websites.
I started looking at this years ago.
Again, this is at least since like 20-19 maybe.
I was watching the murder statistics and the criminal
shooting statistics that happened in Chicago as a
microcosm for Democrat failures. It's a city that's been run by
Democrats for 100 years and it is one of the major stories
that's going to be out there. So when we start talking about
protecting from force and fraud and we start talking, this is a
this is a city government under state authorities.
For those of you that are listening, we're looking at the
website right now. One of the most poignant things
they have is their average clock for the year.
As of Thursday, 8/24, a person is shot every four hours and 23
minutes on average in the city of Chicago.
And somebody is murdered every 20 hours and 22 minutes on
average in the city of Chicago. There's an average of more than
one murder per 24 hour period. And then you look at the August
statistics and of course it lines up the number of people
that have been shot and killed in Chicago up into the date that
they have on here, August up to date.
And it's usually like within a day or two, it might be a day or
two behind. Shot and killed 27 people, shot
and wounded 164 people. The total number of casualties
is 191 with 29 total homicides. Not all of them are are
firearms, but most of them are the number of people shot and
killed in the week of 20 of of 817 to 823.
So our our last week that just closed out was 88 total
homicides and it was down 11% because on average they averaged
slightly more again than one per day.
That represents a failure of government.
They do all kinds of weird stuff here.
Shot placement where people are getting hit 85 shots in the
head. These are torso.
These are just like weird statistical things.
You can look by neighborhood if you look over here on this page
here, this is the neighborhood layout.
You can see it actually concentrate in certain areas.
There's parts of Chicago that have zero crime in the same way
that there's parts of Washington DC 0 crime, none totally safe.
And then there's there's some where you see that there are
this this dark blood red area, this Austin neighborhood, 25
plus every single time that you see a red dot on the screen,
that's that's triple homicides. It's regular to find double
homicides. There's a lot of stuff on here
that's pretty unsettling. This is your trends of how it
works out. This was particularly unsettling
to me today because right now there's a discussion and CNN ran
their main story on it. Every single web page or every
single Web news site is actually talking about how there's this
massive problem with sending in the National Guard.
Donald Trump is doing something unprecedented by discussing
sending in National Guard. And then you tell me that this
isn't an actual emergency. What you're seeing in front of
you are the trend lines and they are the year on year fatality
rates. The crazy thing is, is that the
highest year on year fatality rate thus far is this year.
Sorry, it's 2020. I, I actually misread that.
There you go. They have it up there.
It's 18.5% right now. The difference is, is like less
than 1% between that and like the worst years.
You're looking at the total number of people that have been
shot and wounded versus the number of people that are shot
and killed. So far this year, 204 people
have been murdered in Chicago is what they're claiming, and
they've been worst. You know, they've been far worse
as far as total numbers. But the insanity that we're just
going to say like a couple 100 people murdered in a city like
Chicago, which I think has like a population of 2 million the
last time I checked. It's crazy.
The surrounding areas around Austin, TX have two million.
I think they had like 40 homicides.
This thing is 56X that. So there's something different
there. This is the joke that Hey
Jackass always makes. If you guys look at the the main
part of the website illustrating Chicago values, they say that
tongue in cheek. It's truly egregious.
And since we talked about race yesterday, I want to talk about
this because this is something I've been watching for about 8
years, maybe nine years. Look at the race of the victims.
Now turns out statistically in this country that people who are
most likely to kill you to engage in violent crime against
you are the people that actually share the same race as you.
And that's just based on the way that people look and the people
that are around you. Most people that are involved in
violent crime actually tend to know the victims or they're
pretty close to them. It gets less and less sensible,
but it's neighborhood driven, it's location driven, it's
access driven, right? 78.3% of the victims are black,
4.8 are white or other. That's usually like Asians,
whatever. Hispanics is actually growing.
It's a growing chunk. It's been as bad as in like the
90 percentile range of the victims being black.
I'm talking about the victims here.
They don't always have a perpetrator listed by race.
A lot of these go unsolved. We could probably see where the
unsolved rate is too. They usually have a case
clearance rate somewhere on this as well.
And they have all these other little quirky things like how
many people shot themselves in the ass or how many people shot
themselves in the junk and how many people shot themselves in
general that were involved in this kind of thing.
They have, you know, the number of police involved shootings
this year, it's like 7. It's very low with six of them
turning out into be a justifiable homicides or likely
justifiable. So the police are less and less
involved. That's almost always the case.
Homicide trends, they were far worse.
Like the highest numbers that I remember were in 2016 under
Obama, the last year there 512, it looks like you had actually a
worse one under under Brandon. Joe Biden had one in 2021 of a
566 homicides that actually beat beat Obama's sort of record.
And is it necessarily the president that's involved in
these things? Not necessarily.
But there is kind of a national policy and trend.
And when you have a, you know, a Democrat city that basically
lives on Democrat ideas, it makes some sense to me that
that's what we're talking about. We're talking about an overall
policy of a party that doesn't mind there being real problems
in their city. And if you try to come in and
fix it, you're the problem. So we're going to we're going to
play the governor of that state. He's a very heavyset man.
He refers to Donald Trump as a small man or a little man.
I think it's kind of funny because he's a big fat guy.
So probably most people are in fact smaller than him, even
people who are heavyset, which Donald Trump is not exactly
svelte or lean. But JB Pritzker is a fat self
entitled billionaire that's going to tell you that these are
his people. You know, that kind of Democrat
thing where they really want to go and lean into that, that
that's, that's sort of old, that old slavery mentality.
I feel like that plantation mentality that these are his
people. Here we go.
Any federal official who would come to Chicago and try to
incite my people into violence as a pretext for something
darker and more dangerous. We are watching and we are
taking days. This country has survived darker
periods than the one that we're going through right now.
And eventually the pendulum will swing back, maybe even next
year. Donald Trump has already shown
himself to have little regard for the many acolytes that he
has encouraged to commit crimes on his behalf.
You can delay justice for a time, but history shows you
cannot prevent it from fighting you.
Eventually, if you hurt by people, nothing will stop me,
not time or political circumstance, from making sure
that you face justice under our constitutional law.
Got it. OK, so my people, my people.
Very religious sounding, isn't it?
Isn't it funny that we always try to make this, this equation
balanced out? People on the right believe that
there's a God. They believe that that God is
the the creator that instilled us with certain inalienable
rights. Government's purpose is to
protect those rights, to limit its own power, to limit our
fellow man from going out and doing their worst instincts.
And then you've got these other folks that think that we're in
charge of the government and you're ours.
You're our citizens, you're our constituents, you're our people.
We're going to act like that. We're not going to be good
legislate, you know, administrators of that
authority, though. Now, I would do that to get this
story. Donald Trump, he's the problem,
obviously. This is from NPR.
Donald Trump says the National Guard is ready, but it hedges on
Chicago plans or he's hedging on Chicago plans, rather Not quite
ready to go in there and crack down on it again.
I will tell you that I think that the federal service, the
federal system is the worst possible solution to every
problem, including when it's the only solution to the problem.
I just don't like it. I don't like using anything
that's federal because it's too far and disconnected from the
people, but the folks that are closest to the people who have
the most responsibility to solve these problems.
Again, there's this social contract that we all enter into,
whether you like it or not, you're born into this country,
you're part of it. And you said I'm willing to
table my desire for violence and retribution and revenge because
that's a lot of what we, when we think about justice, a lot of
our human instincts get involved in that.
That's the emotional end of it, revenge.
So I'm willing to table that. And I'm going to push it out to
a governmental group that should be less emotional, less
personally involved, but wants the right thing for everybody,
the best outcome. And what happens when they, you
usurp that or they, they completely just disregard their
requirement to, to, to fulfill that duty?
What do we do with them? This is what it looks like.
We played it in DCI, played it in Cincinnati.
I told you it's happened in Saint Louis.
It happens in almost every East Coast city.
This is a video from, I think it's BG on the scene that puts
this one out. And this is Chicago.
This it, it continues to happen. This is broken window pane
policing where you let small things go and those people
realize, hey, nobody's coming if you commit small crimes and
nobody responds to it, and crime is something that you are
inclined towards doing for whatever reason.
Bad socialization, low morals, temptation devil made me do it.
Doesn't make a real big difference if you're not willing
to police yourself and you find out that nobody else is going to
do it either. This is the the given inch.
And people start taking a mile situation anyway.
Here's here's Chicago, the exact same sound you heard from
Washington, DC, cutting in and out of traffic
surrounding vehicles. Yeah, maybe they're just blowing
off some steam. They're trying to have a good
time. Sure they are, but also realize
that when you're sitting there in a minivan when you got your
kids in there, like now, you have a a swarm of of a dozen
military age males. And who knows what kind of ideas
they have because they already don't care about the basic
things like abiding by traffic rules.
They don't have to stop at stop signs.
They don't stop at red lights. They don't obey things on like a
staying off the sidewalk on their mechanized vehicles,
Right. So once that starts happening,
how long till that line goes to something else?
They see something they want, they take it.
Most of these people, and I'm just telling you because I've
experienced it and I've done the investigations on the other end
of it, least in Washington, DC, many of them do not buy these
things. They go and steal them.
They drive out in the neighborhoods in somebody's
vehicle and they take the stuff. They take an ATV or they take a
dirt bike and they go stash in their backyard.
And when it breaks, they go get another one.
Anyway, at least your governor in in Illinois really cares,
right? Finally, to the Trump
administration officials who are complicit in this scheme.
To the public servants who have forsaken their oath to the
Constitution to serve the petty whims of an arrogant little man.
To any federal official who would come to Chicago and try to
incite my people into violence as a pretext for something
darker and more dangerous. We are watching, and we are
taking names. This country has survived darker
periods than the one that we're going through right now, and
eventually the pendulum will swing back, maybe even next
year. Donald Trump has already shown
himself to have little regard for the many acolytes that he
has encouraged to commit crimes on his behalf.
You can delay justice for a time, but history shows you
cannot prevent it from finding you eventually if.
The mayor's not any better, by the way.
The mayor of Chicago, Yeah, that's the same kind of story.
I just want to give you a wider shot.
He's a wide man. He needs a little bit more.
What about what about the mayor? Is he getting it better?
And so, you know, look, we're going to remain firm.
We'll take legal action. But the people of this city are
accustomed to rising up against tyranny.
And if that's necessary, I believe that the people of
Chicago will stand firm alongside of me as I work every
single day to protect the people of this city.
So they're going to stand up with you and they're going to
try to make sure that we have safety and security, right?
But dig into my grab bag here. I got another clip.
One of the things that that actually kind of always shocks
me is that these guys think that everyone stands behind them or
believes in what they're going to say simply because they're
the ones saying it at that moment.
But it turns out some people actually do want to live in
peace, safety. I've had multiple folks from DC
tell me that it is better now in Washington, DC that the National
Guard has stepped up. Just the just the instinct to go
do something. And again, you guys will hear me
say it over and over again, I don't want a federal solution.
It is certainly isn't a long term option.
You don't federalize that area. What they ought to do is still
cede it to the states. Why?
Why do you say that, Kyle? Because that's the way that I
think about things. I think that the government
should be closer to you. And there is no government
further than us than the federal government.
It doesn't mean that in the short term they can't make a
difference. And it's not making a
difference. I've had someone who who I
talked to on a regular basis, takes the bus, lives in, you
know, in DC public transportation and said, yeah,
there's a noticeable difference. This lady saw the same thing.
This lady theoretically be would be 1 of JB Pritzker's people.
One of the folks that you hear the the mayor of Chicago,
Brandon Johnson talking about, she's a black lady talking
about, hey, D CS better, you know, in the short term, you may
actually now should you be infringing on civil liberties.
That's the real problem. You're going to take people who
are not trained in that. They're a hammer.
They're looking for the nail, the nails.
It's everywhere and it's all crime.
But you still got to do it the right way if you want to live in
America. And I don't think we should cede
our our civil liberties because of it.
I don't think we should see the Bill of Rights simply because of
that. That stuff scary to me.
So we're in a balancing act right now.
And this is a real important moment because a lot of people
are fed up and the instinct is almost always he talked about a
pendulum in there. It swings the the left and the
right boundaries of that pendulum are are a problem.
The middle is where you want to live, where we're getting the
the best out of it one way or another.
You could be a little bit on the left, little bit on the right.
Either one of those things will get a better option Anyway, This
lady saying, you know, people are starting to tell the story.
It needed to be done. It's actually pretty dope to see
people make videos from the DC area sharing how peaceful it is
now says Trump cleaned up the streets.
It's really dope to see in witness.
And it's like all over DC, not just the nice areas in the
Washington DC area. When I shared on my Facebook
page and my IG how there's a lot of people who are really happy
with the streets being cleaned up.
Oh, a lot of people that I know where I'm from, which is PG
county, they are like, no, it's unnecessary.
No, it's this is that. And it's just, you know, for
anyone that thinks that this isn't necessary, it really does
set in my heart for people who think like that.
It's like you just want to think the worst of the worst.
Just a negative, negative, nasty, nasty mindset.
And like a lot of these people that have moved like this, they
claim they're Christians. They claim they are believers of
Christ Jesus and they are moving like that.
Literally go on by what the media says, claim these same
reports. I've read articles too, and a
lot of those articles that I've read about what's going on in DC
are very biased and all they are doing is just promoting fear.
No one has been racially profiled in DC.
No one has. And I'm not sure where people
are getting these reports from besides false media.
You know, I'm so glad I became a free thinker, and I'm so glad I
have used critical thinking. Yeah.
Because if I didn't start doing this, I would have been like
everybody else from my hometown because I used to think like
that. But the Lord delivered me and
I'm so glad that he did. I was carnal minded, I was Luke,
I was a lukewarm Christian because of the area where I'm
from. Because when you're living up
there, folks just think you just go to church, say Hallelujah,
praise the Lord, speak in tongues.
But I could go to concerts, I could do this and do that,
whatever. It causes confusion within the
mind like, and that doesn't please God.
So again, I know I just went and left my conversation, but my
whole point is I'm happy for everyone in the DMV that feels
safe because y'all y'all deserve to feel safe too.
And on the real, that's one of the reasons why I moved away
from home. I'm.
Gonna cut it there. Isn't that interesting?
She immediately went into a faith argument and and what it
looked like. How interesting is that?
Something about behavior and values being in alignment and
then being able to critically evaluate information the minute
that you stop. Like, I don't know, worshipping
a different God and that God could be government.
That's what I heard. I heard that I used to just
accept other opinions and I needed to accept them because
that's what was asked of me. She said critical thinking.
She's almost there. It doesn't mean that she's 100%
there. There are legitimate concerns.
There is a legitimate worry, no questions asked, because when
you start saying we're going to start creating National Guard
units, we're going to start using military units to stop
civil unrest, you're now seeing people trying to solve the
problem that existed in 2020. And I think Donald Trump sees
it. At least I, I recognize that
this is what that looks like. If I had been president in 2020
and I was living here in 2025, I would also see that, you know,
American citizens got activated. They were set up by agents
provocateur, and they started acting in ways that were not
good. The tool to use is not National
Guard units, at least not to me. That sounds scary as hell.
That's the wrong tool. I've told you the federal tool
is the worst tool. That's my belief.
I worked in the federal government.
I was in the military. We know that people in the
military will follow orders, including unlawful orders,
regardless of being trained. How do we know that?
Because we lived through COVID, because we saw what they did in
2020 and 21 and 22 as they continue to kick out people
simply for questioning something that they had a right to
question for saying you can't force me to take this on, you
know, this unapproved medical test.
Forget the shots. Let's just go straight down to
the the emergency use authorization testing protocols.
You were supposed to have a requirement of being able to do
informed consent. President Donald Trump on Monday
ordered the Pentagon to create a National Guard unit in
Washington, DC, and across the country that would be designated
to tamp down on civil protest and ensure public safety, a job
historically and legally belongs to civilian law enforcement.
This is not good. It's not great.
I'll show you what it looks like in a second because all of this
stuff can go the other way really quickly.
Critics called Trump's desire to build a kind of rapid reaction
force for civil unrest alarming. It is alarming, and that's true.
Two things can be true at once. We can recognize that there is a
significant problem, and we can also recognize that the answer
that is easiest may not be the answer that is best or American.
He wants to push the legal boundaries for the National
Guard and Auxiliary Force, whose mission is to help fight foreign
enemies abroad or aid Americans in times of extraordinary crisis
like hurricanes and floods. What happens when the system
that's supposed to do that, groups like FEMA, are not
effective? What happens when they're used
politically? How about all the people in
North Carolina that got left simply because they were likely
Trump voters in areas that were likely to vote red?
And they got completely abandoned?
And it had to be that private citizens came in despite paying
their tax dollars in to try to create this FEMA system.
And they found out that there was going to be billions and
billions of dollars given in foreign aid, a bunch of money
given to countries that are in war, that are not America.
And then you go, oh, shoot, we're supposed to trust the
federal government to come in and do this.
It's already showed us that it's betrayed us.
It showed us in things like the Quiet Skies program, they were
created for a totally reasonable idea.
Terrorists could get on planes. Terrorists could do bad things.
We should try to make sure that we can keep an eye on them.
People go, yeah, that sounds good.
And then they went, you know who else we don't like?
Colcie Gabbard. She's really mean to Obama.
She said things that were not nice about Hillary.
She thought that Joe Biden was not a great option for
president. Now we got a problem with her.
Let's follow her. Let's also follow Kyle Seraphin
to El Paso as he goes and drives out to go pick up all of his
stuff. Whistleblowers were talking
about the Quiet Skies program going back to 2014.
My buddy, buddy Peter Johnson has been on this program couple
Times Now. It talks about terrorism.
He trains cops for free. He gets paid by companies that
make gear for cops so that he can go out there and train cops
for free and they can become better shooters, better
tactifists, better people who are able to go and do the thing,
protect you from force and fraud.
Yeah. And what did he say?
Yeah. He doesn't work as the federal
government's hench men anymore. He left because he saw what they
were doing. And he was like, I'm going to
bring this to Congress. They're not going to fix it.
I'm not going to participate. I have a similar experience in
an executive order signed on Monday.
That was yesterday. Trump called on Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth to designate Army and our Air
National Guard members in each state who could rapidly deploy
to help federal, state and local government in quelling civil
disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever
the circumstances necessitate as appropriate under the law.
That's the real big key here. Under the law.
What, how small is that wiggle room and how likely is it to be
abused? My concern is, is it's fairly
likely. And it looks something like
this. When it goes wrong, kill the
volume. This is a man who's standing in
shorts and AT shirt, a dress shirt, whatever, with a phone.
He's acting as a quote UN quote citizen journalist.
But there is no definition of what a journalist is in the
Constitution and certainly not under the Bill of Rights.
The word is press. People who publish things are
members of the press. And he's being arrested because
he's filming now. Was he asked to be stand a few
feet away? Is there some sort of reasonable
distance that it should be? Maybe this was on August 23rd at
Georgia and Emerson Northwest, that is in Washington, DC.
That's what happens when you have an overactive national
police force. That's what happens when you use
federal tools for a thing that they're not set up to do.
Now, DC Metro PD, as I've told you guys, I don't think they're
a very good police force and I think they should be completely
gutted and fixed. They're pretty decent at
stopping. Here you go.
There's another person filming this after.
The trials are held. You will all be in jail.
You in order. To get on the sidewalk on the.
Street and you do not get on the sidewalk and fuck you serious.
Am I on the sidewalk? Do you see what's going on
there? He's outraged because he expects
the system to actually work. He thinks that the system should
work the way it was designed. And that's kind of what I told
you about what Bill Taylor had to say.
The minute you realize that it doesn't in some small instance
or great instance, everything then starts changing.
Had a conversation at the pool yesterday with a with a mom.
We're talking, she's got a little baby floating around in
the pool. I got my little 1-2 years old.
We're floating around in the pool and we were discussing the
possibility of there being a serial killer in Austin, TX
because we've been told there's not.
There's this whole story. If you guys want to get into it
and you're a true crime kind of person, go read about the Rainy
St. Ripper.
I don't know if it's true or not, but what I do know is that
a lot of people are asking questions and there is an
official story. No serial killer in Austin, TX,
even though you have a bunch of young men in a very particular
band of age that are turning up in a very small section of
geography, dead from similar circumstances.
Almost all of them being either involved in being at Rainy St.
which is a little bar district, or being found in the river
right next to Rainy Street. So different circumstances and
there's a lot of bodies for an Austin, TX thing in the last
couple years, we're like almost 30 bodies.
I want to say if turned up in about 3 years.
That's a lot in a small area. So normally you'd go, well, what
did the police say? The police said the official
statement is there's no serial killer.
And then you realize that the police don't want a serial
killer and they can't have a serial killer.
It's really bad for them. And so anything to say that is
not the case and allow the businesses to continue onward
and the mayor and the police chief to go ahead and and act
like this is all fine. It might be that there's no
serial killer, but we don't have trust or faith in our
institutions because people have sat there and seen it and they
go, oh, got it. We got a real problem here.
We have a loss of public trust and faith in the system.
It's gone. So we're having a moment right
now. And the moment is all the things
that you've done to shame us and tell us that we can't talk about
a problem. We're going to do it.
I've used the word unscoldable of late.
You can tell me that, Oh, you can't say that or like be
careful, like don't say things like that.
I'm not going to do that anymore.
I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going to say things that I
know are true. I know that the people that are
on AT VS and they're on dirt bikes in all the cities that
were listed yesterday and some of them that we just showed
today, they're all young black men.
That's not a coincidence. It just turns out to be
factually accurate. The joke is, if you wanted me to
go give those guys something, they dropped it.
What kind of people would I be looking for?
Like what? What human beings would I go and
find? Oh, they'd all be between the
ages of 15 and 35, and they'd all be black males living in a
certain subset of the city. In the same way I can show you
the areas where people go get killed in Chicago.
There's areas where you're not going to get killed.
Statistically, it's not going to happen.
And there's areas where you really might be.
It's real. I think that Americans are
getting sick of it. They're being, they're sick of
being told what they can and can't say, and they're sick of
being scolded by people that are wrong.
I've got this really fun little clip from CNN.
Sometimes CNN has some really good stuff.
There's this concept of jumping the shark.
It's when you've gone so far that you're now going to do
things that are so illogical and so crazy, right?
It's a Happy days reference. When you jump the shark, you no
longer get to come back from that and tell us something.
Before I play that clip, let me let me do a read for my friends
over at Patriot Coolers. They didn't jump the shark.
They just make good products. They're good folks and they've
been backing us since February of 23, which I'm really grateful
for. This is my Patriot Cooler of the
day. I've got probably like a dozen
of these things. This is a 20 oz.
This one I broke the lid off because I threw it while I was
on a trip somewhere in an airport, but it still works
great. Keeps my coffee hot even from
6:00 AM. Patriot coolers.com promo code
Kyle. Kyle saves you 10%.
That's how you let them know that we sent you over there.
It's the same discount you get, by the way, if you serve in the
military. You just don't have to upload
all your credentials. And if you didn't serve in the
military, you can still back up people who are in the military
by buying a Patriot Cooler's product.
Because a portion of all their proceeds go to help veterans who
have mobility issues. They help retrofit houses.
They offer hundreds of thousands of dollars out of their, their
revenue stream every single year.
And they go back and they make ramps and they make, you know,
wider doorways and things like that for vets who are having a
hard time getting around, including people who maybe, you
know, good folks, good company, great product, works well, takes
a beating. I've got kids, I'm always
dropping these things. We always carry these with us.
We're now carrying the one gallon around with us because
the other day we had kind of like a little panic moment with
not enough water in the house or not enough water in the in the
minivan rather. So now I'm carrying around A1
gallon cooler. Check out all their stuff.
Get a soft cooler, get a hard cooler.
Take, you know, anything you're interested in when you want to
do it. It's an investment in a good in
a good product in a good company.

Kate YLE All right, let's do let's do this fun CNN clip
because it's really good. The fun CNN clip.
Let's make sure this is it. Really quickly, Abby, because
any time that we play something from Stephen Miller, it would be
journalistic integrity to point out that he is a white
supremacist and he is the brainchild behind this policy.
That's not my opinion. That's actual facts.
And for him to purport lies from the Oval Office as a white
supremacist, I don't know. It should be pointed out it's
recording. I I want to address what he's.
Everything about that was nonsensical.
So black woman I agree with, Black woman I don't agree with.
It doesn't make a difference when you say things that are
crazy. Like it is an objective fact
that Stephen Miller is a white supremacist.
Is it though? And then you have another person
who's sitting there in a white suit.
Do you know anybody that wears a white suit, a little purple
handkerchief? Like these people are all doing
theater, which we all see. It reminds me more and more of
the ridiculous satire moment that happens in the the movie
Starship Troopers. It's like Federal News Network.
Do you want to know more? Do you want to know more?
I'm doing my part, quite frankly, a bug that thinks is
offensive, right? You have these fake conflicts
and you have these fake experts that go out there and shriek
about things. Stephen Miller is a white
supremacist, and it is not journalistic integrity to talk
about it. People are tired of that.
I think that the scolding has gone so far as to basically just
it's, it's made itself unimportant.
People cannot take these folks seriously, not in any meaningful
way. How could you?
How could you look at them and go like, oh, yeah, that's what
it's about? And for whatever reason, because
we're talking about Chicago, we're talking about crime, which
means we're talking about a black crime.
Black people involved in crime, By the way, as I showed you on
the hay Jackass, overwhelmingly it's Black people as the victims
of said crimes as well, right? We know that.
Where's the numbers? Let me pull it up real quick.
I'm just going to show it again. There it is.
Boom. OK, 78.3% of the homicide
victims in Chicago, Black, overwhelmingly 4 to one men.
So the same people, the same subset of folks that are likely
to be the offenders are also the ones who are going to be the
most damaged by it. It's not good.
It's not good for them. It's not good for society, but
we have to have because we can't say it.
You can't have Laura Ingraham with her, with her face.
Go out there. Laura Ingraham who's like a
single mom in her 60s at what did she do?
She like adopted like a number of kids, not particularly
conservative move, by the way, to be a like, what about the
kids? Don't they need a dad?
Laura Ingraham, She can't say this.
So she'll bring on someone who can.
So I'll bring on someone who can.
But then I'm going to say what I say anyway.
We are not thinking about Pritzker or Brandon Johnson.
We just had four mass shootings in a span of one month, 14
people got shot and four dead. We just had senior citizens lane
shot, bleeding in the streets. And let's not forget the
gentleman who we saw who was on Facebook Live get robbed and
shot while he was sitting in his car.
So we don't care about anything these people are saying.
Tell Brendan Johnson and Pritzker if Chicago is so safe
with Brendan Johnson especially get away to get let's leave his
150 police detail, fire them and walk around with no police
detail and Prisker no security. Come in my community, the South
side of Chicago, come over there and let's see you say how safe
it is. You can't even sit in your car
loan. If you sit in your car, you know
that it's a chance you're going to get carjacked, robbed or
shot. So tell him to come around in my
neck of the woods and talk that she's sitting in a Fox News
studio. I just know because I've done
that. I've been that person.
You go to a remote studio somewhere and then they beam you
in and they put a camera in front of you and they get a
backdrop behind you. And there's a hair lady there
and a makeup lady. And they come in and they, they
touch you up and they make sure you look good on camera and all
that. So she did all those things.
She's not particularly articulate.
Her qualifications are Chicago resident.
She's not an expert in anything. She's an aggrieved person.
I'm not mad at what she said. I'm sure she's correct.
But they're afraid to say it, aren't they?
They're afraid to just have a reporter on the street saying
these are the facts. God forbid it be like a white
male reporter talking about things that are not particularly
racial. They are simply demographic
information and they are really obviously true.
Boom, there it is. Go look at the hard numbers.
She's right. We did see that video of a guy
who got carjacked and shot in the chest over a freaking gold
chain for doing a TikTok video in his in his car.
He didn't seem particularly educated.
He was dropping the N bombs on whatever his stream was to
nobody because he wants to be a famous TikTok creator instead of
having a job productive. But he should be able to sit in
his freaking car, shouldn't he? And have a conversation with
nobody. I mean, I'm doing it right now.
You should be able to do this without having someone put a gun
in your face. There's another side of it as
usual, and this is the best part of it.
Then the media has played this up.
They've they've, they've jazzed up the feud, the political feud.
It could be a major national crisis.
It's not a major national crisis.
There is just one major sort of question that Americans need to
ask. How much of your freedom are you
willing to give up to this national authority?
And why did you allow your states to fail so dramatically?
That should be the question. Why are you in a situation where
your state government calls you my people and it acts like it
has ownership, but it doesn't actually have any ability to go
and do the thing that you have the social contract with them to
do, force and fraud. It's the entire purpose.
The federal government's got to have limits.
It's supposed to have limits and it regularly does not.
This is why it's not a problem. This is a problem why it is a
problem. This is the problem.
When you start using the wrong tool.
Here's the wrong tool. This is a judge Jeanine,
whatever her name is. Pirro is covered by NPRI.
Agree with NPR on this. The most illegal search judge
pushes back on DC criminal charges.
A couple things are true about the story at once.
Veteran defense attorneys and law enforcement experts are
warning about the potential for overreach with the government
involved and muscling its way in.
Policing decisions in the nation's Capitol started 3 weeks
ago. They were inside the courthouse
on Monday and the tensions broke open.
In open court, A judge dismissed a weapons case against a man
who's being held in DC Jail for a week, including that he was
the subject of an unlawful search.
I wish this judge also understood the unlawful searches
that were being done by the FBI right next door.
The DC courthouse, the federal courthouse is adjacent to, It's
one block away from where the FB is office sits where they do
FISA searches all day long that are also illegal searches.
It's one of the whistleblower activities I started going back
to 2017, the judge says. This is without a doubt the most
illegal search I've ever seen in my life.
I could probably top that, just saying, the Magistrate Judge
named Zia Farook said. I'm absolutely flabbergasted at
what has happened. A high school student would know
this is an illegal search. Maybe, but you've got National
Guard troops who only have to have a high school education and
high school education is not what it was.
I'm just saying. And most people, it turns out,
don't have any idea what the Bill of Rights means or what it
does. Here's the story.
The judge says that Torres Riley appeared to have been single out
because he's a black Capital B Makes me want to puke.
No reason. Black man who carried a backpack
that looked heavy. Law enforcement officers said in
the court papers that they found two weapons in his crossbody bag
and he'd previously been convicted of a weapons charge.
So you got 2 problems here. You've got a guy that thinks
that he can roll around after being removed from the
population and not allowed to carry a gun and he's carrying
one. So now you have a felon in
possession charge. That's what they're they're,
they're dancing around it because it's NPR.
But it's a felon in possession charge.
And the arrest and the decision to abandon the federal case come
at a time when there's heightened scrutiny on police
and prosecutors. Couple things are true.
Washington, DC has a serious problem with this dismissing
felon in possession charges. My first arrest, my first day
out of the Academy for the FBI. It was December 12th of 2016.
I'll still remember it. I went into a man's house early
in the morning. He was alleged to have been
involved in APCP distribution and production ring, and we
found all of the accoutrements that involved the production of
PCP in his house, just like the search warrant expected.
He was also a felon, convicted all the way back in the early
80s. He had been basically convicted
of felonies for as long as I'd been on the planet.
And we went in there, and when we searched him and I put the
cuffs on him, I asked him, do you have any other weapons?
He said yes. Where are the weapons?
They're in my bed. Which one is your bed?
It's down the stairs to the left.
It's the one that you just, you know, pulled me out of.
OK, where am I going to find these weapons?
They're in a bag at the foot of the bed, and one of them is
under the pillow. Straight description.
And then we went and found the guns that he talked about.
DC kicked that case. We did a arrest based on
probable cause because he admitted to being a felon in
possession of firearms, that they were his in his possession
in his home in an unlawful way. I'll tell you more about that in
a second cuz I got more problems with that.
But just on the plain strokes of the law, the guy was a felon in
possession and he was booked on that.
And then they kicked him because we didn't do adna swab to
confirm with DNA evidence that the guns that he claimed were
his and identified to us as his and told us where they were in
his room, in his house, in his bed.
We didn't tie them to him with DNA.
So the DC Circuit kicked it. I'm sorry, it's the DC Superior
Court because it was actually done in the the Superior Court.
That's the local version of DC crime.
The District is the is the federal version.
They kicked it. It was a lawful search warrant.
It was a place where we were lawfully able to be and we
lawfully determined through a search incident to arrest and
his admission that he was a felon in possession and he got
away with it. That seems problematic.
It fell right through. So that guy's running around.
But here's the other problem, because you guys know I don't, I
don't ever just cut right down the middle and say, well,
felons, felon, shouldn't have guns.
I actually think that if you're a felon and you served your
time, you should be able to own a gun.
Either you are safe enough to be a human being and a citizen in
this country and not in jail, or you're not.
I don't understand how the Second Amendment doesn't apply
to you. There's no carve out there that
says, well, if you previously have been convicted of a serious
crime, then you are now no longer able to do it.
Either you are safe enough to be a citizen, you should be able to
vote, you should be able to carry a gun, or you shouldn't be
free in our sentences should reflect that.
But that's not the world we live in because our government no
longer does the thing that it was designed to do.
It doesn't protect you from force and fraud.
It's sort of serves some half assed purpose and more.
What it does is it serves the purpose of government.
When we talk about a self licking ice cream cone and it
can apply to any level of government.
When we talk about a self licking ice cream cone, we're
talking about something that doesn't exist for the purpose
that it was created. Why do we make ice cream?
Because it tastes delicious and we want to give it to our
children and we want to give them a treat or reward when it's
hot outside. Ice cream is awesome.
But what if ice cream only existed for its own sake or for
the sake of the damn cone that it was on?
You're like, why do we make ice cream?
Well, we go, why do we go through the process of churning
milk and and cream and and sugar and and salt?
Why do we put that all through this process to come up with
something and you go, oh, well, it's because it looks really
good on top of the cone and the cone really likes it.
And then the ice cream really likes the cone.
What the purpose of government right now often times comes back
to something really simple. It actually just does the job
for its sake of itself and it doesn't serve its original
purpose. When you have task and purpose
divorce from each other, you got a real problem and we have a
real problem in this country. So this is the alternative.
Jeanine Pirro is the is the United States Attorney for the
District of DC And theoretically she's the one who sort of like
allowed this case to move forward.
This should be a Terry. This should be a Terry type
decision. You've got it thrown out.
And and the judge, I don't think is wrong, says he spent a dozen
years as a prosecutor from the same office that brought those
charges and says we don't just charge people criminally and
then say, oops, my bad. I'm at a loss at how the United
States Attorney's office thought it was appropriate to charge
this in any court, let alone in a federal court.
And then you've got the United States Attorney hero saying
something that's also true. This judge has a long history of
bending over backwards to release dangerous felons in
possession of firearms. And frequently, on occasions, he
has downplayed the seriousness of the felons in possession of
firearms and the danger they pose to our community.
Those are not mutually exclusive categories, people.
We're in a moment when people are actually recognizing, hey,
two things could be true at once.
Our justice system is not doing justice in the way that it's
supposed to. And also like it needs to, it
actually needs to go and do that thing.
And that's why I think so many people are backing out of this
stuff and just going like, what is the right answer?
I assure you, it's not the federal government coming in and
doing it. But in a short term manner, it
might actually be needed. And yet it needs to be
constrained by the Constitution. And that's how you're going to
find out. That the National Guard is not
the right answer because they're not trained for that.
If you take a tool that is designed for something, it will
do the thing it's designed to do.
The military is not designed to go do law enforcement, and it
never has been outside of the small number of units that
actually do. And even military justice is
different. I'm seeing interesting stuff in
our chat talking about how gun ownership is a privilege.
Don't give me that. It's really explicit.
I know that some people don't want to just listen to English,
but it's there. All right, And lighter news, the
biggest story that actually was punched out.
And I'm going to end with a couple of stories here that that
got punched out. Actually, let's take a quick
break and do the Spotify commercial that's just going to
take one or two seconds here. So there we go.
The, the amusing thing for me is that the biggest story across
all of the news sites, it wasn't this Trump Pritzker thing
outside of CNN who's trying to drum up controversy.
The biggest story is that Donald Trump said he's fired the
Federal Reserve chair board member.
This is one of the the Board of Governors, a woman named Lisa
Cook. That's the biggest thing.
And they are all outraged. You know why?
Because she's a black female. How dare he.
Now she's a black female that is credibly accused of mortgage
fraud. So there's that.
She hasn't been adjudicated as such, but I could see why that
would be a problem for an administration.
She was appointed by Biden. She's supposed to be in office
until 2038. She was appointed in 2022.
And this is his latest, like a mix up with the Federal Reserve.
The funny thing is, I was having this discussion yesterday with
my wife. Everybody says if they had a
time machine, this is like the classic Lib thing.
We we actually played a Babel on B thing about it, right?
If you had a time machine, would you go back and kill Hitler
'cause he was so bad? And the answer might be, I think
if you're on the political right and you've been paying attention
to what's going on, I think Woodrow Wilson was the real
villain, like way before Hitler was a villain.
I'd go back earlier. That's just me because the
Federal Reserve and the passing of the 16th and the 17th and
then eventually the 18th and 19th, like all these amendments
that were that were passed during that time period before
World War One and going into like right at right at World War
2. Those are the those are the
destruction of our Republic. And I think we've been living in
whatever the the the the next stage is right.
We had a some sort of like pre Civil war America.
Yeah, that's true post Civil War America.
And then once you hit that World War One era, there's this like a
real strange period in there where everything went off the
rails and the American Republic is no longer what it was
designed to be. It's far more democratic than it
was meant to be. And the system doesn't work as a
democratic system. It was meant to work as a
Republic, as representative, but not in the same way.
Not to wreck representation. In any case, they're very upset
that Lisa Cook has been reserved from the Federal Reserve Board
of Governors. Remember, that's not in the
Constitution either. That was an act of Congress in
1913. Oh, another 1913 problem.
Yes, 16th, 17th. We'll read it in a second here.
The president announced Cook's removal from the federal, from
the federal board, or the Fed board rather, in a letter posted
to True Social, which is probably not great, and accused
Cook of making false statements on mortgage documents.
Said they were gross negligence, potentially criminal.
There's been a referral over there by 1 of Trump's whatever
agencies that is looking into this kind of thing.
I mean, he should pretty much be buttoned up on this.
But I was kind of interested because they're very upset
because she's a black woman who was removed from this.
And he and everybody has to be real careful about how they talk
about it. But I want to be real specific
when we look at it because we've had some dusts up with Jerome
Powell in the Trump administration as well.
And so I was real curious. I was like, who is Lisa Cook,
who is Jerome Powell? Let's go to a left-leaning site
and figure out what they're all about.
What is it? What is their story?
Well, Lisa Cook is an American economist who was sworn in as a
member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in 2022.
She's the first Black woman to sit on the board.
We have to get that up front. Got to let him know she's the
first Black woman ever. So exciting.
As if that mattered. She was previously a professor
of economics and international relations at Michigan State
University, very prestigious school, Michigan State
University. She was a member of the American
Economic Association of Executive Committee.
She's an authority, an authority on international economics,
especially the Russian economy. That's why she's in charge of
dealing with the Fed, I'm sure. And she was asked to advise the
Obama administration in the Nigerian and Rwandan government
issues. Her research is the intersection
of macroeconomics and economic history with recent work in
African American history and innovation economics.
She's regarded as one of the few prominent black female
economists and has attracted attention within academia for
efforts in mentoring black women.
Everything about what I just heard says you're probably not
competent. So I think, well, at least she
probably works for some investment banks and knows how
money works, right? She didn't just spend her entire
time in academia, did she? Oh, wait.
She was a visiting professor at the Kennedy School at Harvard.
From 97 to 2002, She was the deputy director of Africa
research in Harvard's Center for International Development to
2000 to 2001, she was a senior advisor on finance for the
United States Treasury Council on Foreign Relations National
fellow. She spent her whole time she she
advised the Nigerian government in banking reforms in 2005.
That's actually what I'm hoping that the United States can take
after Nigeria. If we could just get what the
Nigerians are up to, we'd be great.
In O 5, she joined Michigan State and she's been an A
assistant professor, a tenured professor ever since she started
Obama's administration Council of Economic Advisers.
She makes her living in academia.
Now, I'm no big fan of Jerome Powell, but let's let's talk
about Jerome Powell for a second because it's really easy.
He's a lawyer, doesn't have a PhD in economics.
And it turns out that as a lawyer, he spent most of his
time working in investment banking, you know, moving money
around from 84 to 90 to 1990. He was working at an investment
bank called Dylan Reed, which is now running by UBS.
He concentrated on finance, banking, mergers, acquisitions.
He was a vice president. He worked for the Treasury for a
couple years and he went back, he worked for, he involved some
investigation, I'm sorry, he had some negotiations with Warren
Buffett, Salomon Brothers, just scanning through this, he was a
managing director of Bankers Trust and he got involved some
sort of like scam, some derivative transactions went
back to Dylan Reed. He was at The Carlyle Group,
he's at the Carlisle US buyout fund.
He worked in private equity for a group that was called Global
Environment Fund. He was at a think tank for a
little bit. You know, like he worked in the
business. Not a big fan of the Fed in
general. Not a big fan of people who want
to move around and, and do quantitative easing and then
print off a bunch of dollars to be able to like solve their
their economic problems with their with political background.
But at least he worked around money.
He spent all of his time around it as opposed to a lady who just
wrote about it. All the papers, by the way, that
you find from Lisa Cook, pretty much useless.
They all kind of have that same look.
I love it. The chat says she looks like
Latissa James. Yeah, she really does.
Looks a lot like her. In any case, that was the big
story that hit ABCCBSA handful of other outlets, NBC, They were
all really, really upset that the first black woman ever was
removed. Nothing about whether or not she
was doing a good job. Nothing about whether the the
accusations that were about, you know, that were made about her
were credible or anything else. It's hard to take it all
seriously. There she is CBS story.
So it goes down to this problem that I see overwhelmingly across
all these agencies. I'm going to sum up my thoughts
having had a weird morning start up.
This is the meme. All right, y'all, The meme looks
like this reform, right? Clean up that look.
There we go. Reform, but with the same guys.
Hear me out. That's Don Draper, right?
He's a famous character. He's Jon Hamm doing the Mad Men
routine. He's pitching the advertisement.
We're going to do reform of government, of the way the
National Guard works, of the DoD, of the DOJ, of the DHS, but
we're going to use all the same people in it.
Do you remember? I read you previously that
Machiavelli actually talked about this.
Exile or execution are really the only ways that you can turn
over in government if you actually want to fix it.
Anybody that that like opposes what you were going to do and
believes in the old way and continues on to the next regime
is just going to wait you out. It doesn't matter whether we're
talking about quote UN quote, administrative or deep state
folks that are working in the FBI, the folks that are at the
DOJ that are going to go out there and bring bad prosecutions
to embarrass you. It doesn't matter if it's the
folks that are going to put the pilot in front of the FBI
director who used to previously investigate the current
president of the United States with Jack Smith and special
counsel. Like can we?
Can we just agree that you cannot do reform with the same
people? It doesn't work.
And that's going to be the biggest problem that you're
going to see the Trump administration do it because we
don't actually have the ability to go gut government.
But we've already proven under multiple different regimes,
multiple administrations have proven to us, the government is
not serving the interest of the people that voted for it.
Even for the folks that cry about democracy, it serves the
interest of the government that keeps doing it.
In the private sector, there's actually consequences for being
bad at your job. Generally speaking, that doesn't
exist when we talk about what goes on in the in the public
sector. So I want to end with a couple
funny little thoughts here because the other story that
continues to make a bunch of headlines is the story of the
Cracker Barrel changing their freaking look and their logo.
And you're not supposed to be able to talk about it.
But I think the same idea where you got to go find a black lady
from South side of Chicago to be able to talk about crime on the
South side of Chicago, that you have to have certain types of
people have to look a certain way to be able to have an
authorized opinion. I think Americans are getting
sick of it. And I think that the loss of
dollars from the Cracker Barrel rebrand, which is the dumbest
thing in the world, I can't stand Cracker Barrel.
I think their food is terrible. Like, why would you go to
Cracker Barrel in a world that has Waffle House?
I don't get it. But I will tell you that this
sort of like frustration that people had, it is a real
specific moment. And I think it's I think it's
important for us to recognize what it is.
And we should also recognize it in a funny way because if we
just sit here and just like mope, it's too much.
So let's laugh about this guy's take on Cracker Barrel.
I think we can all sort of see it and it is a a moment when
people in America are becoming unscoldable.
You can't tell me that that 90s thing about political
correctness, like that's an opinion that may be true and it
may be funny, but you can't say it.
For some reason. We're done with it.
Yesterday I said, I think that Donald Trump was one of the
people that actually ended up killing white guilt.
It's only because he he more, more than likely he actually
recognized that white guilt needs to be dead.
And the lady from CNN claiming that Stephen Miller with no
particular facts, just her opinion, saying that it's a fact
that Stephen Miller is a white supremacist because she doesn't
like what he has to say. That time's over you, you have
no power here anymore. We're not.
We're not interested. And what needs to happen then is
that you hiring managers and you people that own companies, you
need to just realize that human beings should be human beings
and they shouldn't be tiptoeing around their damn words simply
because someone who's incompetent has the job around
them. They should be able to say it.
Yeah, you should be able to say things that are true as long as
they're true and they're not said specifically to hurt the
feelings of someone. They should be said because they
are, in fact, factly accurate. Like 78.3% of the people that
are shot and killed in Chicago are black men.
Factual, that's a thing we should be able to say, who kills
them? Overwhelmingly other black men.
That should be something that we can talk about.
Does it matter that they're black?
It kind of does to the people that are getting killed, I
think, because they kind of have a warning of what it looks like.
And so you can't scold me over that and I won't take it.
I'm not going to be like, you know, told that, that we need to
whitewash the entire society. And I do hate Cracker Barrel.
That's the best part about having my my folks sitting in
their chat this morning. Let me play you something funny.
Let's have a laugh about it. All right?
This guy's got it down. We want, we want some nostalgia
about and, and this is not nostalgia about like slavery,
racism, Jim Crow, or any of that other nonsense.
It's about like having a sense of humor and realizing that the
world is unjust and there's a lot of bad things and we can
still have friends and neighbors and get along and have a good
time. Let's have some good times.
Here it is. Sauce on the Internet.
Dude said he ate in a remodeled Cracker Barrel and he hated it,
and I want to join in on the hate.
If the Cracker Barrel don't look like the Jim Crow SI, can't eat
there. You got to have the racism
aesthetic. You got to have the rocking
chairs and the hint of segregation in the air.
If I don't feel like I'm on the set of sinners, then how do I
know I'm in a Cracker Barrel? This, this is a gentrified
Cracker Barrel. They don't took all the
character out of it. And I know the edges of the
pancake ain't burnt. I got to feel like somebody
wants to say good morning, boy, when I go in with respect and no
and no respect at all. I feel like they want me to work
there, but they don't want to pay me ever, and I've got to
live there. That's Cracker Barrel's thing.
If you take that away, what is it at Denny's?
IHOP, a place I don't want to be at?
I asked this question. I think I probably know the
answer. What if all the customers are
coming at you hard enough about the look of the restaurant and
they want to go back to the old way?
Would you do it? Honestly, the feedback's been
overwhelmingly positive that people like what we're doing.
I'll give you another sound bite.
I actually happened to be in Orlando last week with all of
our managers. We bring them together and once
every other year. And the number one question that
I got asked Michael was how can I get a remodel?
When can I get a remodel? How do I get on the list?
So because the, the feedback and the buzz is so good, not only
from our customers, but from our team members, they want to work
in a in a wonderful restaurant. So we're doing everything for
our guests and our team members. We're doing Messina.
It's wonderful to have you here. Thank you for answering those
questions for all the Cracker Barrel fans out there.
Yeah, yeah. That's a woman that's never had
anyone tell her the truth. That's that's what that was.
that Lady looks just like the FBI executive that canceled me
and canceled Phil Kennedy and canceled Gerardo Boyle and
canceled Steve Friend and canceled Marcus Allen and
canceled a dozen other people whose names you don't know.
Same exact look. They all look the same.
Why is it because no one ever told them that?
They got scolded and they realized that they weren't
actually able to say the truth? They're awful.
You guys in the chat know what it is.
Affluent, white, female, liberal.
Awful. Nobody ever told her the truth,
$100 million of their of their, their market cap gone.
Dropped. Stock prices tanked.
Because you suck, Because people want whatever that is, like
people like Cracker Barrel for whatever reason.
All right, that's the show. I gave you a pal cleanse.
I'm going to give you 2 because today was kind of heavy.
So let me just first say if you guys want to support the
program, you want to support our channel, you want to support us
pushing back against the FBI, which may or may not be putting
white vans outside of our door. You can do so on
rumbleitsrumble.com/kyle Seraphin.
You could do so on X, it's at Kyle Seraphin.
You can do so on YouTube. Just crossed 12,000 over there.
Awesome. Thank you guys so much for
joining over on the youtubeyoutubeyoutube.com slash
at Kyle Seraphin. I see you, I'm aware of you.
One day we'll be able to integrate our two chats.
And then if you want to do locals, if you want to support
the sort of like unpaid angry government activism where we
just want to see justice, which is what I do want, you can join
us over on locals and it's Kyle serafin.com.
Go be a free member. Just join and mix it up with the
crew over there. It's 1000 of the people that are
most interested in sharing each other, they share memes and
funny stuff like that. It's a good time and we don't we
don't discriminate. We don't kick you out.
You don't have to be a paid member.
Just come over and hang out. It's a good thing.
All right, let's do a a last joke.
Since I've been kind of like dogging on people.
There is a certain group of people that are authorized to
take fun. Donald Trump can't do it.
He's not allowed to go and poke fun at black women.
He's certainly not allowed to fire 1 without getting national
headlines everywhere. But there is a group of men that
can actually go back and it's a man that looks like this.
You guys can hear from his voice what he looks like.
You can hear from his impression of the woman that he's talking
about what she looks like and you can't see her.
This is one of my favorite little routines that I've seen
of late. This is a man who, if you first
looked at him, you might judge a book by his cover.
He has a he has a doctorate degree in pharmacy.
He's a pharmacist and he's still got like sleeve tattoos.
He reminds me of like my buddy Dave.
Dave looks like a dude. You'd be like that guy probably
could be real problematic. And he turns out to be
introspective and talented and, and articulate and he ends up
having the same values as me. But if you look at me like, oh,
he might be one of those dudes that would be riding, you know,
like a motorcycle through, through Baltimore, doing it,
doing wheelies at 12:00. We don't have to judge the book
by the way it looks. But we should also not ignore
some of these other things. Here's some fun about what
happens when you can actually tell more about the way they
talk. And you tell me if when a woman
comes in asking for her subscriptions at the pharmacy, I
know we're already going to have a problem.
I walk in the pharmacy, open up the pharmacy.
There's this lady standing there with her arms crossed.
She goes, You work here? I said.
No, I'm just back here stealing some.
How can I help you? What a attitude.
She's like who you is, but I had to be professional because I'm
the pharmacist. So I said, ma'am, I is the
pharmacist. How can I help you?
I'm here to pick up my subscription, I said.
So which magazine? She's like, I don't want no
magazine, I want my medicine. I said.
Oh, prescription. She's like same thing.
I. Was like, not really, I said,
ma'am, what's your date of birth?
Why? So I could plan you a birthday
party? What do you mean?
Why? I'm trying to find your
prescription. When's your birthday?
In a couple of weeks, I said. Ma'am, forget it.
What's your name? She's like Tequasia brown, I
said. Spell it like the color.
Ma'am. I have a doctor degree.
I know how to spell brown. How do you spell Tequasia?
She's like capital T, Lower a dash.
Capital QUSHIA. I'm thinking to myself, did she
give me her name on her Wi-Fi password?
I said OK, ma'am, I looked. I can't find anything.
Do you sure they sent it here? She's like, well, the doctor
sent it to CVS, but this was closer.
I walk in the pharmacy, open up the pharmacy.
There's this lady standing there with her arms crossed.
That's the loop. His name is Lavar Walker.
LAVAR Lavar Walker. And he does have a PhD in
pharmacy. I don't know.
I just needed that today. Sometimes you just need it.
That guy's in my tribe. But if I looked at him right off
the bat and I saw that he had neck tattoos and, like, sleeves,
I'd be like, oh, got to watch out.
I learned sometimes, like, people that surprise you, you
know, so that's fine. There are plenty of people out
there that defy the stereotypes, but there's a reason why we have
them. I don't think anybody would,
anybody that I know that has neck tattoos, that has become a
friend of mine would never once begrudge me for looking at
somebody with neck tattoos because they also look at people
with neck tattoos and go, oh, that's an interesting choice
you've made. Are you a felon?
Are you a undercover cop? Or you just really love your
wife so much that you needed like foreign script across your
neck and the guy who that's about knows who I'm talking
about. All right, folks, thanks for
joining us. If you stick around here, I'll
give you guys over to the American Radicals podcast.
You can go join a couple of FBI whistleblowers who also
understand, who have their own take on things, specifically
frustrated and look forward. If you're not following this
channel, you're going to miss out on that interview with Bill
Taylor. And I think you need to hear it
because you should hear it from somebody who retired, who made
it to the end of the line at the FBI and still feels the same way
and thinks maybe we shut that thing down.
We're at a special moment in this country.
I hope that we take advantage of it.
I hope we do it in a Safeway that doesn't involve the
government coming in and killing us all, because that's also a
real possibility. And God bless you regardless of
what goes on. Looks forward to seeing you
again tomorrow. It's going to be a big week, I
think for the suspendables and luckily Cash Patel's hanging out
in in Scotland for that. So all right, we'll see you
again very soon. Have a fantastic day.
Thanks for listening to the Kyle Seraphin show, streamed live
