Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, an
American patriot. Prepare to embrace the
uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for
comforting lies. Here is civil liberties
enthusiast, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI
agent Kyle Seraphin. Well, hello my friends and
welcome to the Kyle Seraphin show for Monday, May the 5th.
I guess today's Cinco de Mayo. Is that a is that a holiday
somewhere? I don't even know why I used to
know what Cinco de Mayo is and then I remembered that I'm
American and I don't actually care and I don't drink
margaritas anymore, so maybe that was something I cared about
when I was a lot younger. We got kind of a grab bag of
things going on and and I kept looking for a thread through
today's news stories and the only thing I could determine was
that there is no standard unless it's a double standard.
That's the only thing that's going on out there.
This is a common theme in America today.
So I guess it's just as reasonable to talk about double
standards to get into some of this.
What I see is a left that is confused.
They're not sure how to how to message what it is they want.
What they want is not whatever Donald Trump says.
So if he wants to deport illegal aliens, they want to keep him.
If he wants to talk about law and order, then they're going to
be against that. So we've got stories about
Alcatraz. We've got stories about mothers
being ripped from their kids arms.
We've got stories of kids being kept in their mother's arms.
It's kind of a, it's kind of a mess.
We're seeing stories about Donald.
I've got a clip of Donald Trump talking about Nancy Pelosi doing
stock trades that seem immoral and unethical and questionable.
The things that we all kind of know that our members of
Congress are doing, insider trading.
And then you find out that Marjorie Taylor Green did the
same thing with Palantir. Now, the dollar amount probably
isn't as much, but you know, if you could make 9 or $10,000 a
trade any given week, you'd be doing better than you are today,
most likely. If you happen to be sitting on a
place where information comes your way and you can turn around
and use it for your own profit, no, no proof that that's what's
going on. But trends are trends.
Members of Congress tend to be worth a lot more after they've
been in Congress for a little while.
Access to that information and power is not nothing.
We're talking about double standards.
And if not for the double standard, would we have any
standard in this country at all? It turns out, I think we used to
actually have an idea of what America was about and we're
going to go kind of touch on some of these things.
A lot of the issues that we are dealing with today are directly
result of trying to hold to standards that should probably
change because the status quo has changed.
Interesting enough, this is the the fact that we live in a place
that has a welfare state that has all kinds of safety Nets
that didn't used to exist. Without those safety Nets, you
could do things one way. You can't continue to do both
things at once. So people are arguing out of
both sides of their mouth. That's where we're going today.
I hope that is going to be interesting and at least the
number of stories that I found that I think are going to keep
us, keep us covering that topic. They're pretty significant.
All right, before we get started, we're going to talk
about my friends over at Silent guys.
They are a Faraday manufacturer. They are making a a bunch of
high quality products, including ones that are sitting on my desk
right now. This is one of their sleeves.
I, I almost, I think I use it every single day between
government, big tech, corporate America, criminals, scammers.
We talked about some of that stuff on the Sunday Sit down.
Your privacy is in constant threat of being compromised.
There's a 24/7 assault on that. One of the ways that you can
protect yourself is by going silent slnt.com slash Kyle.
What they can do is help kind of protect your RF signature.
In the counterintelligence world that I used to work in with the
FBI, we talk about a thing called ubiquitous technical
surveillance. That is all of the RF signals
that are being emitted from you and your devices and your
person, your vehicle. It could be your your watch, it
can be your phone, all of the different technologies that are
around you are putting off a signal and you can be tracked
with all of those things. If you want to reduce some of
that stuff or make it completely eliminated, you have to put
stuff into Faraday products and this is one of the ways you can
do it. Go silent@slnt.com slash Kyle.
You'll save 15% on any of the qualifying orders, plus you'll
get free shipping. Phone sleeves.
They've got backpacks. The backpacks are actually very
great. I've got one of them sitting
behind me. I've got a number of their
sleeves. And the E3 Faraday backpack is
also one that's kind of covert looking.
In other words, it doesn't scream like, look at me, I'm a
tech, cool tactical guy. What it says is I have a regular
backpack and I also want to be able to keep my laptop, my
tablet, my phone, etcetera. Not emitting all the information
that somebody else can walk by and hack.
In any case, all you got to do is put your device inside, close
it up. You're safeguarded from
unauthorized access. It's silent slnt.com slash Kyle.
Check them out. Use our promo code over there to

You're going to get free shipping on qualified orders.
Check them and support them. We will continue on.
Let's get started with the double standard for this Monday.
All right, whenever they're tugging on heartstrings,
whenever words like the American dream has been ripped away, I
know that it's going to be something I am interested in
talking about, if only because these are dishonest actors.
Here's a good story. This is coming straight out of
CNNI don't always start with CNN, but this is CNN's America's
section. Deported from Florida to Cuba,
this mom saw her 17 month old US daughter and her American dream
ripped away. This reminds me of something
that Ben Shapiro used to talk about quite a bit.
We're also going to talk about another Ben Shapiro concept.
A lot of these things were formed in my head when I sat
working for the Bureau and I was listening to the same way you
guys do a podcast on the way into work and a podcast on the
way home. I do far less of that now that
my commute is 90 seconds going up and down just a pair of
stairs or a flight of stairs. There are two things that always
stuck with me. One, he said the American
experiment, It never guaranteed you success.
What it did was give you the opportunity to take the
adventure, to take the ride. But a lot of people died on that
ride. A lot of people did not survive
the trip. We didn't stop them from trying,
but there was no guarantee that you would be so successful.
And some people got it and some people didn't.
The American dream is not the American guarantee.
The second thing Shapiro used to always talk about was the
so-called strange new respect that people on the right get
whenever they align with the mission and the priorities of
the political left. And there are countless examples
of them. We're going to talk about one of
them in a minute. In the same way that George W
Bush suddenly became a statesman after they called him literally
Hitler as well. And they were so mad about war
crimes and WMDS and all the things while Q was a potential
political foe. They're doing the same thing to
Mike Pence right now. So I find that interesting.
I'm just going to read some of this.
Havana, Cuba In a dilapidated home on the outskirts of Havana,
Haidi, I think that's her name, Sanchez shows off photos from a
past life. She flips through images on her
iPhone, visits to SeaWorld with her husband and 17 year old, 17
month old daughter and the couple dressed up in Santa
attire just for Christmas. I don't know if it was the
American dream, but it was my dream, my family, Sanchez said.
That dream and that family were ripped away in late April when
Sanchez was deported from Florida to her native Cuba, even
though both her daughter and her husband are U.S. citizens and
she wasn't. She crossed into the United
States from Mexico in 2019 during the first Trump
administration required they required asylum seekers to wait
on the other side of the border for appointments as part of the
Remain in Mexico program. But then she said because of
threats from the cartel, which targeted Cubans for kidnappings
and extortions, she was unable to make her appointment.
So she decided to just just sneak across.
Mm Hmm. So you made a choice.
And in America, we have this dream that you have consequences
for all your choices. Some of those choices are very
good, and you're rewarded for doing well.
Like you took a risk and you started a business.
Maybe you thought I have an idea that nobody else does.
I'm going to go out and market it.
I'm going to put my money and maybe even somebody else's
money. I'm going to go pitch this idea
and other people are going to align their interests and we're
going to move forward and attempt to create something out
of nothing. We're going to create a, a fair
exchange. And then there's some people who
say, you know what? That's, that's too much for me.
I'm not interested in doing the American dream the way other
people did. I want to do my version of the
American dream, which means I would like some things.
I don't have the patience to follow the rules.
And so I'm going to gamble and maybe it works out for you.
Maybe it works out for you. For 30 or 40 years, we're seeing
people that are being deported and people screaming.
This is my husband. He's been here for 30 years.
He never harmed anybody except he has a detention thing and
he's been actually listed as someone who should be removed
from the United States by the government.
He paid his taxes. Well, then he paid for this,
too. Sounds like.
Sounds like he was paying for the government to do its job.
How interesting is that? I heard this local news story,
which I'm going to play for you right now.
And I don't know that it has a one to one relationship, but
it's a broader picture that I continue to see of the, like,
discussion of illegal aliens. They're just like us.
They're regular people. And then it's like, yeah, but
some of them aren't. And they've already decided to
do one thing that they shouldn't have done.
And that can catch up for you. Every single one of you probably
has something in your background where you're like, oh, I really
hope that I've moved past that. Everybody's got something small.
Maybe it's a small dishonesty. Maybe it's something that you
told your kids one day and and it's not true, You know, maybe
it's a, a stolen valor. We're finding this out all the
time with politicians who lie about something.
I saw a Louisiana judge over the weekend.
I was reading the story of a Louisiana judge who claimed to
have been a captain, even though she never made it up past first
Lieutenant. She had been removed from her
position as a first Lieutenant. I think twice.
She never made it up to the rank that she claimed she was.
There's no pictures of her in that uniform.
She doesn't have the paperwork to back up.
And then she ran for office and said she did things she didn't
do. And those people, I assume they
are praying on the vulnerabilities, on the, on the
attention span. We are so scattered that you
cannot look into every single thing all at once.
So you just go, oh, OK, Well, it, you know, people wouldn't be
dishonest with me, would they? And yet all of our experience
tells us that there's a small fraction of people that are
going to be brutally honest and then a bunch of people that are
willing to just use us to take advantage of our trust.
We are a high trust society here in the United States.
You can leave your door open. You can leave your garage door
open and drive off and go to work all day long and nobody
will go into your home. That's pretty good.
And the odds are maybe one of your neighbors will call it out.
They might reach out. They might even go in and close
your garage door and jump out and then be on your security Cam
footage and and be telling you to your Ring Cam.
Hey, I saw your garage door was open.
I live 5 doors down. I wanted to fix your problem for
you. I've thought about doing stuff
like that. I don't want to get shot.
I live in Texas, so I'm kind of always balancing that thing.
I don't want to invade someone's personal autonomy, but you know,
I don't want my neighbors to to be at risk.
We have a high trust society. It continues to be the case.
The way that you destroy a high trust society is by bringing
people who do not operate under the same levels of trust that we
expect from the people that live here.
It's right here. Even the news media is doing
that, that yeoman's work to destroy some of that trust based
society. Because when I read this, I
think, oh, that something really happened.
She had an American dream. What?
What's wrong? Well, what's wrong is that you
six years ago decided to break American immigration law and
then you never went about fixing it because you just thought if I
ignore it long enough, it will go away.
This is a guy, this is from a local story out of Texas.
He's a murder suspect, lengthy criminal record.
When you hear the the details of the story, I'm going to tell you
the one thing that popped out on me that is so crazy because a
lot of times in this nation, you can get away with a ton of
things until it finally the bill comes due.
And when the bill comes due, hopefully someone else isn't
paying it. In this case, it seems like a
family and a father ended up paying that bill.
There's a lot more to it. And, and, and like I said, the
craziest thing in there is not explained at all.
I just want to play this local news story about an illegal
alien who decided to murder somebody and had no right to be
in this country. But there's more and more of it
because our compassion based high trust society allowed this
to happen. Here we go wearing a gym.
Tank and wasting no time when the door opened.
Surveillance video appears to capture 36 year old Andres
Fernandez de La Paz shooting once.
Screams followed. He tried to kick the door back
open, then ran off to leave in his purple Maserati.
The bullet hit 34 year old Eddieski in Cencio Pinero in the
chest. A father and husband who died at
the hospital after being shot in front of his own family.
His wife. Calls him a wonderful person,
she doesn't have any bad memories of him and says he was
a good father and friend. It's a.
Difficult situation, she says. Fernandez de La Paz is her ex
brother-in-law who during the court records threatened to kill
the family and flee to Mexico. He allegedly shot two men and
killed one of them in the past, but records show prosecutors
dismissed that murder case in 2017, citing self-defense
issues. And since 2022, a law
enforcement source tells KPRC 2 News Fernandez de La Paz has
been leading a credit card skimming operation across Texas.
Arrested in 2023, Sour Lake, TX police confirm they caught him
with skimming devices during a traffic stop after he placed one
at a gas pump. Days later, sources say the FBI
took over the investigation, but no federal charges got filed.
Then last fall, captured in this surveillance image at a retail
chain. A source says he was caught
using stolen credit card information to buy high dollar
items through the store's app, landing him in the Fort Bend
County Jail. He got released both times when
records show Fernandez de La Paz had an ICE detainer.
He's been in the country illegally since 2016, was
ordered removed in 2019, and ICE tells KPRC 2 News in a statement
the Cuban government refused to accept his return at that time,
preventing ICE from carrying out his room.
Oh, OK, so that's another Cuban, not related to this lady per SE,
but coming from the same place. Also decided to come here
illegally this time in 2016 instead of 2019, but he was
listed as being deportable in 2019.
And you guys, I put the chat up here real quick because you
caught on to the thing that I thought was also pretty wild.
He was caught in a purple Maserati.
Are there any Maserati owners in our our listener group?
I, I sort of doubt it. I just don't feel like that's
the kind of people that we're attracting here.
Maybe you're a car guy. Maybe you went out and spent a
bunch of money on an Italian sports car.
They never even seem like a really good investment to me,
but I see them around in Austin sometimes.
You go out and if you go slower, like some of the tech money
people decided to buy a Maserati for some reason.
How interesting. He killed two men, but it was
self-defense. So he got the constitutional
sort of presumption that he had a right to do certain things
like defend himself in a nation that he had no right to be in.
And how did he get himself paid? How did he maintain his status?
It sounds like he did it through credit card scams and stealing
from people by being dishonest, breaking that high trust society
we have, right heard another thing in there that was kind of
interesting. He was picked up by state police
doing the local thing that local and state police do should
investigate crime. Incidentally, contact members of
the public, investigate them and find out that they have, you
know, evidence of a crime on them.
People always implicate themselves and things like that.
OK, fine. And then the FBI picked up the
case and that's why he's still running around because our
ineffective federal law enforcement decided to pick up
the case, put it on the back burner, decided it was one of
those cases that we have but we don't really care about.
He's a non violent, he's a low priority threat.
Probably wasn't even that much money when we're talking about
how much is being skimmed from credit cards on any given days.
You think it was a 7 figure amount of money he stole?
Unlikely. Does the United States
attorney's office care that much?
So they took it from the state police, held on to it at the
federal level. And this guy was around to go
and shoot a father who also the wife of of of that man sounded
like she didn't speak English either.
Do we think that she was here legally?
Maybe, maybe not. I don't know.
Doesn't get into that part of the story.
But I bet you there's a lot more to it.
High trust society gets destroyed, gets ripped apart
when people do not operate in that same sphere, that same type
of trust. Our media can't decide what they
like best. So here is another story.
OK, Remember first story here, Deported mom ripped away from
her US based daughter. Now we got this one.
Newborn U.S. citizen and Guatemalan mom detained as she
faced deportation. Well which one do we want?
Do we want to take the kids apart from the mom?
Because the kid is AUS citizen. The mom doesn't belong here,
she's here illegally. Do we keep the mom and the kid
together like you'd expect any civilized group of people?
This is NBC, so little different than CBCNN, they can't figure
out what they want. She's a Guatemalan woman who
came to give birth to an American baby less than a week
ago, now being held along with her newborn as she faces
deportation. Well, what is it that you guys
want? You want kids in cages with
moms? Do you want mom ripped away from
baby and then this baby basically left to be sociopathic
and have no mother's love? I mean, the story is tragic.
Where do we where do we assign the plane to this kind of stuff?
It seems really straightforward to me.
All you got to do is go, OK, you came here illegally, Mom.
You broke the law. You came into our nation.
We have this screwed up system where we consider you a citizen
just because you plopped out on our soil despite the fact that
you have absolutely no right to anything here.
And now you get what? All the benefits of American
citizenship and the safety net that comes along with it.
And you're indigent. So we're going to indigent.
So we're going to give you a medic.
Medic. What is it, Cade?
Medicare is for older people. I always forget that.
Yeah. Medicaid.
You're going to get Medicaid and you're going to pay for all your
medical stuff. This is not.
You have no skin in the game in this country.
They can't figure out which one they like worse.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said that the woman
was apprehended by Customs and Border Patrol agents.
Hospitalized. Because we are such a civilized
group of people that if we find you breaking into our home, that
we will take you to a hospital. I've been to those bedsides, by
the way. You know what happens a lot of
times somebody will come in. They had plans on how to get
over the border wall. This is going back to like 2011
or 2012. I was working in Tucson and I
would do some rotation. So we did some of the stuff on
the southern end of Tucson. We would catch people that had
needed more urgent care than Nogales could handle.
So they would climb up the 25 foot border wall that existed at
the time. They would have a plan to get
over into the United States, but not how to get down into the
United States safety. So they would climb up over the
fence, fall off the fence, break one or two legs, be unable to
move, be rescued by our law enforcement patrols and then
taken to a hospital because that's how we operate.
That's what a high trust society does.
We assume the best of people and we don't let people just die
because they came into our custody and they did so
illegally and they and they rolled out into a desert with no
plan on how to survive. Their plan is to rely on
American hospitality and more importantly, to to rely on our
empathy for our neighbor. Because we are a Christian
nation, whether you like it or not.
You don't have to be Christian for it to be a Christian nation.
That's what all the values are based on.
We value the poor, don't we? That's not a thing that's ever
happened anywhere else. So they take these people, they
put them in a hospital, and then the job of 1 Border Patrol agent
in a green uniform, you've seen them before with a yellow badge,
has to stand by that person's bed nonstop to maintain custody
until they decide that they either cannot keep someone
there. Let's say that they have a
massive femur fracture and they're going to need surgeries,
which by the way, we all pay for.
That's why your ER care is so expensive.
We pay for it and then all the way through rehabilitation and
the entire time and that person has been admitted to the
hospital, there is supposed to be AUS Border Patrol agent night
and day keeping eyes on this person to maintain custody.
And at some point they have to pull that person because they
can't keep an agent tied up. They cannot keep a Border Patrol
agent or officer sitting there at all times because they've got
other work to do because there's other a holes jumping over our
fence. If that person happens to be a
pregnant lady, like in this case, she gave birth in the
hospital, quote UN quote under supervision.
She was discharged by the medical staff and then
transferred into custody. Again.
This is exactly what happens there.
I saw this happen in Arizona over and over again while I was
there for maybe I don't know, six weeks or something to that
effect. Six weeks worth of running
around in Arizona on the medical between the, the ambulances and
running around the various ERS and so on.
I probably saw a half dozen of these cases.
So just one guy just hidden sporadically in the hospitals
out there. And that was quite a bit of time
ago. Shoot, that was going on 14
years ago and the numbers were nowhere near as high as they are
today. So what are we supposed to do
with this? What are we supposed to do with
the society that does that? We've had a declaration that
these people are terrorists, right?
People coming into this country illegally from Venezuela and so
on. So maybe we should go out and
celebrate the terrorists. That's what that's what we would
do in a polite and free society, right.
We would go and give what I might call material support.
By the way, there's some case law going back under.
I think it was in 2019. I got to look at Steve friends
text message. He said this is kind of one of
those interesting little pieces where if you if you actually go
out and positively cover a story, a story that has
something to do. It's called the holder versus
humanitarian law project. It's a 2010 story actually.
If you give positive coverage to terrorist groups, you are
potentially providing a thing called material support.
There's a real world whole number dollar propaganda
association with being able to talk about people being
something they're not. So CNN is doing that work too.
They rolled out and found some guys that were in TDA and they
said, hey, we'd like to we'd like to give you an opportunity
to positively cover it. I'm going to read the subtitles
on this. We're going to turn the volume
down just a little bit and I'm going to read it because it's
all in Spanish. They muffled the guy's voice to
defend him. Apparently CNN knows where to
find the so-called terrorists. And this guy doesn't say that
he's not a terrorist. He says he respects Donald
Trump's decision for it. Isn't that kind of interesting?
Just want to play this because this is This is when our news
media decides to pick up the ball and play for the wrong team
to the. Trump administration, you are a
terrorist. The cartels have been labeled a
foreign terrorist organization. What do you make of that?
He says, well, the situation is ugly, but we have to eat what's.
Your message to Donald Trump if he's watching this.
My respect, he says. According to him, he's only
looking out for his people. But the problem is that there
are consumers in the United States and if there weren't any
consumers, we would have stopped.
In other words, people here have a market or an appetite for
illegal sex trafficking, drugs, take your pick.
All the things that that drive these businesses.
Remember, cartels are multibillion dollar businesses.
All of these criminal gangs that are involved in trafficking and
moving the stuff. These are multibillion dollar
businesses. They just have found themselves
at their product that they provide and the and the routes
that they do it are just against the law.
So they've chosen not to operate in a way that the rest of polite
society does. And they're not wrong.
We do have an appetite for it in this country, whether it be for
child, you know, what was it? Ryan Mattis says that we are the
biggest consumer of child pornography, of child sex
trafficking of child ritual sacrifice and all kinds of other
horrible things. Like the American people have it
so good. This this society is so safe
that you can get away with doing those things and the
consequences are not dire. You're probably going to go to
trial and you might get let off just like that guy from from
Colombia. You might get multiple shots at
the same apple to walk away. So at the end of the day, what
do you need? You need someone with courage.
You need people that have principles.
Talk about that in just one second.
Because of course the people that the the political left are
going to celebrate are not the same ones that you and I might.
Interestingly enough, the guy that a lot of us didn't think
was great right from the beginning.
We'll get there in one second before we do pivot over to our
friends over at Blackout Coffee. They do make a good product.
They do actually have some character and grit and they do
make something that is being consumed at the Seraphin
household by copious amounts. We've had four coffee drinkers
instead of two over this weekend.
We've been telling you about Blackout Coffee for a couple of
months now. If you have not tried it, we can
break it down. We had a taste test comparison
against the normal thing that comes out of Costco that my
parents normally drink. My dad sat down at the table,
had some Blackout coffee. We do the pitch black espresso
and he was like, Oh yeah, I like this.
I can tell the difference. So my mom makes notes.
She's going to make the order. This is not just another coffee
brand. They are built on hard work and
grit and American values. They're doing their own
packaging. They started off the way that
many other people do the American dream right?
Home, garage, packing it out of their own home.
Now running a 64,000 square foot warehouse.
They're roasting all the beans in house, packing all the orders
themselves, employing Americans over 30 people there with no
corporate nonsense. Just damn good coffee made by
people who actually care. Again, taste test comparison
passes the Seraphin family muster and we're punching
through it. We still have huge amounts of it
because I've got 5 lbs in reserve and 5 lbs downstairs.
We're burning through. It's not just about making a
great cup of coffee. You're supporting Americans and
the American dream. You know that thing CNN talks
about being ripped away? Maybe these people actually have
the right to do it. That's why they're here.
They built the company up with no shortcuts, no woke nonsense,
no weak beans. If you believe in hard work and
real American values and coffee that gets you moving, you can
make the switch to blackoutcoffee.com slash Kyle.
Use that promo code Kyle for 20% off your first order.
Figure out how fast you you go through it.
Figure out the style you like. Put them on a put them on a
reorder if you like. That's the way that we're doing
it here. Support real coffee drink
blackout. Again, it's blackout coffee.com
blackoutcoffee.com slash Kyle that promo code Kyle, don't
drink wheat coffee. Get your day started off the
right way. The way we are too.
I'm actually doing iced coffee right now, if you guys can
believe that because we have been burning through my normal
pitcher and I didn't want to make another 2 liters.
So I'm actually going with like last week's coffee.
Still good. Put it in the fridge, put it in
a jar, you're good to go. OK, as promised, there are
people who are have the courage of their convictions and doing
the right thing to defend the constitution.
At least that's what the left tells you.
This is tiring. This is coming from CBS.
The former Vice President Mike Pence.
He got a profile in Courage award from the JFK Foundation,
the profiles in Courage for defending the Constitution.
That's how gross we're going to be right now.
Let's just read it. We find the story I've got here.
There it is. There's a smiling face.
He described the Constitution as what binds us all together.
I mean, yeah, it does, except for the people that don't seem
to care about it all that much. There's plenty of people in this
country that use it only when it's convenient.
In the same way they talk about rule of law only when it's
convenient. The same thing they talk about
are, quote UN quote, shared values.
What about the shared values of accountability and hard work,
which are very American? I've got this little funny
little clip of and I wasn't sure where it was even going to work
in, but I think we'll play it. This is a from a movie called
Longshot and it was a Seth Rogen movie.
It ended up making a tiny little bit of money compared to what it
was. I guess it made 20% over the top
of what they spent on it. It was like a $53 million gross
against a $40 million budget. So not a big movie for for Seth
Rogen. And it's a comedy ish, but it's
a political comedy. I'm going to get back to the
Mike Pence thing in a second. This actually fits in right now
the, the idea that we actually share these things, the things
that Christian values and caring about America and speaking to
your neighbor and having commonality within those that
live within your country, because we all actually are in
it together in a, in a lot of ways, this movie does a pretty
good job of telling us why we can't have conversations with
the left about it right now. And there are certainly some
people on the right that also do it.
The nice thing about having standards is you're always going
to upset people on both sides. I've constantly doing that.
I find out people asked me the other day, they're like, hey,
Kyle, you know, what's your end game here?
My end game is Government Accountability with small
government. My end game is that our, our
public servants do the thing that they said they would do
when they said they would do it. That's it.
It turns out I don't care if if Cash Patel is abusing our
private jet, I got a problem with it.
If Chris Ray is abusing our private jet, I got a problem
with it. If Bernie Sanders and AOC are
flying around on private jets and being hypocritical, I got a
problem with it. It turns out I can take a shot
at everybody because all of these people get in there and
immediately forget principles. Again, I think this, I think
this little clip is kind of telling.
This may be the conversation I wish America would have, but I
don't think we're having it. Let's take a little listen to
this. It's got a bunch of swear words.
If you're at work, you might need to tune it down.
He's working with. Fucking Democrats one day,
Republicans the next fucking day.
I mean, what's wrong with working with Democrats and
Republicans? That that's that's the whole
country. Yeah, except fuck Republicans, I
guess, is the problem with that. Speaking as an American,
shouldn't you see both sides? Yeah, I see one side's fucking
wrong. What's the problem here?
I'm a Republican. You're fucking joking right now,
remember? GOP.
Yeah, You know me. You're a Republican.
Yeah, I'm a Republican. This shit has worked out so far
for me. What the fuck, man?
All that shit you're always saying to me.
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and being in charge
of your own destiny. Republican shit.
And it worked on me, and it works on a lot of people.
That's fucking sick. That's right.
That's gross. That Republican shit, you put it
in my brain and it made me feel good.
That's fucked up, man. Come on.
See, This is why I'm talking about your negative way I am
thinking I don't even know you. What do you mean?
I'm the same dude from 2 minutes ago.
Your best friend. Why did you never tell me this?
Because I knew you act exactly how you're acting right now.
Wait a minute. You're always talking about how
like, the universe has a plan for all of us.
I could take it easy. There's someone watching over us
at all times. Does that mean I'm a man of
Christian faith? What the fuck?
Come on now. We pray for you.
Don't pray for me. Keep it, Lord.
Oh, stop it. Ignore.
You got it. Doesn't mean that.
Don't pray. You are tripping right now.
I'm not fucking tripping. How could you be Christian?
I wear this cross every day. Since you've known me.
What you think it was for? I thought it was a cultural
thing. You mean like because I'm black?
That's what I thought. Yeah, that might be, but that
don't mean what you said ain't racist.
You're right. Yeah, I know I'm right.
Fuck, that's racist as shit. All right, dude, I love you,
man, but you're very judgmental. Didn't want politics to get any
of this because you've never really been good at looking at
shit from other people's perspective, Fred.
Whoa, right. That was 2019.
It's funny, it's clever, it's it hits pretty close to home.
You got somebody who thinks it's cultural to wear a cross and
being called out for being racist.
By the way, this is Seth Rogen, the guy who basically thinks
that like, oh, Trump is the Antichrist, even though he
doesn't believe in that sort of thing, Right?
Isn't it interesting that like the reason that this hits home,
the reason that this scene is actually a value?
What This is why that movie might actually be halfway decent
if they had the awareness to put this stuff up front, pull your
stuff up on your by your bootstraps.
God has a plan for all of us, right?
And he said it worked on me. It works on all of us, folks,
because it works because that's the way that this country was
set up. But part of it is you got to
actually buy in the whole way. And that means Americans did not
have a problem with legal immigrants and haven't for a
very long time because the system is long and drawn out and
it shows that you wanted enough to deal with a bunch of crap.
Have you ever gotten anything that cost you nothing that you
valued highly? Odds are not.
I listened to Tucker Carlson at the AM Fest in 2022.
We were standing there. We were right down the in front
of the stage. And he said, I've learned some
things in my life and almost none of them came from being
successful. They almost always came from
failure. The hardest things, the hardest
lessons we learn often become the most valuable lessons for
us. I think that's true in my life.
It's likely true in yours. It's one of those universal
pieces that when you suffer for something, you assign value to
it. And then you look at the reason.
Like, I'll, I'll just tell you real quickly in my own life, my
wife who now associates with a very Christian conservative
stance, did not always grew up in New York, grew up with
parents who are very much on the left, very comfortable on the
left. And one of the things that
radicalized her, put that in an air, quote, radicalized her,
took her out of her space, was that she did what a lot of
people on the political left will do.
And she actually put her money where her mouth is, which is
more than most people. She went out and got a master's
degree in mental health. She went out and began
counseling people at a non profit for pennies on the dollar
for what you can get in private practice.
In private practice, people would make 75, maybe $100.00 an
hour. They got to maintain their own
shop. They're they're, you know,
essentially doing something pretty conservative, which is
that they're, they're enacting the American dream by saying, I
have a service and if you want to pay for it, you can hang out
your own shingle, right? That takes some, some guts.
She did the thing that you would say that somebody on the left
would want to go do. She worked for a non profit for
like 13 bucks an hour with a master's degree that cost 30 or
40 grand, maybe more. I don't know what it was.
It was like 20 or $30,000 a year.
It was not cheap. It was a private school.
So she goes out into the space and she begins giving people
counseling services. The people who are most at risk,
who are most vulnerable, who are most traumatized by their lives,
bad decisions were or whatever tried to help them and realize
that people would skip their appointments with her, didn't
care, didn't keep the appointments, didn't even call
to cancel because they valued it.
Nothing, not at all. They didn't show any value in
it. She realized that if you don't
charge people something, if they don't have some skin in the
game, then it doesn't actually hold value for what they are.
It may have a value to you because you're providing it, but
that's not seen the same way. And that is what our country has
gotten right now with people that have skipped over the
border. If you can skip the line and you
don't have to wait, then it's not worth something to you.
People who came here that went through rigorous processes, you
can talk to anybody that's done it.
They have tears in their eyes when they do the, when they say
the Pledge of Allegiance. They have tears in their eyes
when they, when they swear in as U.S. citizens, when they, when
they take an oath of loyalty to this country in the
Constitution, it means something.
Anybody who swears in as a as an enlisted troop that doesn't feel
a little bit of emotion about the line of people that you are
falling with. You were jumping in line with a
group of people who are willing to die for principles that you
probably don't even understand at 18 or 19.
But you know how big it is. I was 27 when I swore in my my
first enlistment. And I remember it like knocking
me over like it catches you off guard.
And I had that moment happen again over the weekend.
We had a big weekend in the Seraphin household.
We had a daughter who had her first communion, so entered the
community of the church by receiving the body of Christ.
That's a big deal for Catholics. I looked at some pictures of
myself when I was in second grade.
Kind of funny to see. I was a goofy looking little kid
with some real big front teeth. I remember my second grade
teacher very, very prominently. Good person, formative in my
life. And then I had a daughter
baptized this weekend and my wife and I had our, our, our
marriage blessed in the Catholic Church because even though we've
been married for over, you know, it's coming up on 12 years now,
I think. I think it's 12 years.
I'll check it out. It'll be 12 years this summer.
I should know that sort of stuff.
You know, we, we redid vows and it still is an emotional thing
because you're committing to something bigger than yourself.
And it's something we put a lot of work into.
You would think that when you are putting effort into
something, you can assign the value to it.
And when you come to this country without having the work
of a decade behind you, of course you're going to go around
and and and you can get a Maserati because you're willing
to to break laws and steal from people to make me see this
story. This is also a CNNI got a couple
others we're going to kind of punch through for the
second-half of the show. But Donald Trump is acting like
whether whether he whether it's his choice if he has to obey the
Constitution. Trump is acting like it's his
choice whether he obeys the Constitution.
Coming from Stephen Collinson, A Brit, by the way.
Again, I didn't know that until I listened to him.
I wouldn't even think of that. We have so many foreign
commentators in our space. Why?
Because America will accept you. But the difference is this
America which which used to actually say everybody can come
and give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses,
right? We didn't also say and then we
will pay for all your things and take care of you and give you
free medical service. We said give those people here,
let them struggle and yearn to be free.
Let them come to this nation and then bust their ass and maybe
they succeed and maybe they die trying and a lot of them died
trying. That used to be the deal.
Donald Trump is not acting like it's his choice whether he obeys
the Constitution. What he's saying is all the
scaffolding of crap that you guys have built up around it,
which I think this is a telling picture.
This one's coming from CBS. It's a scaffolding of crap that
they built up around the story of whether or not you have to
obey the Constitution. The Constitution in and of
itself is pretty straightforward and clear.
It's not a long document, folks. You can take the top that the
entire Constitution, all of the Bill of Rights, every amendment
afterwards and a bunch of commentary and have it fit in a
pocketbook that is smaller than your wallet and put in your back
pocket, which I encourage you to do.
I carry around one in my my range bag when I go to the when
I go to the range. And it's a legacy of when I was
at the FBI Academy and they gave me one and I put it right there
next to my rifle always whenever I shipped out on a trip for the,
for the counterterrorism mission we did.
I went on 20 different deployments.
They call them around the country 2-3 weeks at a time to
go watch bad guys. Every single time I carried
around a pocket Constitution with me as a reminder because
I've actually read it. Like unlike a lot of these
people that are crying about the Constitution, I read it and it
meant something to me because I've sworn my life to it
multiple times. Loyalty to that document, not to
like some government agency. I never was loyal to the FBI.
I was never loyal to the United States Air Force.
It's a big deal. We had our call in show the
other day and there was a really interesting point made.
There is a difference between the the oath of enlistment and
the oath of officers. The officers are not sworn to be
obedient to those officers above them in the same way.
Our friend Stevie Wonder, who I think is in the chat this
morning as well, pointed this out and it's a useful thing.
Our vets know something about what America is like and why.
How about this court? This is the Supreme Court of the
United States is apparently undergoing some renovations.
So they keep showing pictures of like the current day, but that's
scaffolding. It looks hideous, doesn't it?
There's a if you're, if you're not seeing on the screen, I'm
looking at the building of the Supreme Court.
There's a building scaffolding. It goes up 4-5 stories and it's
got all of the facade of the Supreme Court wrapped up in it.
And that is a lot like all these legal decisions we have that are
just crap. You know, when you strip down to
the original statements that were being made, the original
reasons for putting together our federal government, it was to
have a small federal government and not the one we do.
There is no reason that federal law should say that we have to
make sure that we bring in a baby.
And even the thing that was written that's given quote UN
quote, birthright citizenship, that was meant for freed slaves
that were that had people that had skin in the game in this
country. It wasn't that you just come in
from Africa, you come in from from Havana, you roll in from
Guatemala and you like give birth to a baby with nothing but
like a week on this ground and suddenly you are entitled to all
the privileges of being a citizen here.
You can do that on under 1 circumstance and one
circumstance only, that nothing comes along with citizenship,
that you have to earn everything.
But if citizenship also means that there's a safety net and
we're willing to come and tax Kyle and you and take that money
and put it into a pot and then give you free things.
They said $22 billion went missing under Biden that was
supporting nothing but illegal aliens, enough to house every
single person who actually did put it on the line for this
country. The vets that went out there
that broke their minds and broke their bodies, Go find yourself a
single veteran that does not have at least a ratable
condition. Maybe they don't have Ava
rating, but I assure you every one of them carries some sort of
damage either in their mind that they constantly are waking up
and dealing with, even if they don't tell you or it's in their
body. They got a bum knee, they got a
bum back, they came back and they're right.
They're fine as far as you can tell.
But every day when they lay their, their, their body down to
rest, there is a problem that they are carrying because of
carrying a heavy pack, because of standing MLC in the the
circus they did for, for doing exposure or getting injected
with nonsense that you didn't have to get injected with in
your job. It's a thing, it's a universal
experience for veterans, whether you served overseas or not.
And if you did overseas, you probably got something else
craps thrown on you. Does that mean that you're a
great human being because you're a veteran?
No, there's a bunch of shit bags that are veterans.
If you guys don't know that, go meet some veterans.
Like my friends are a mixed bag and, and people who I served
with were a complete mixed bag. Some of them got thrown out for
like, you know, doing meth while they were on an Army base.
And then when we were in the Air Force, like people do all kinds
of crap stuff. It doesn't mean that you're a
St. because you served, but it does mean that you probably
carry some burdens. And shouldn't we be worried
about those people, even if they're turds more than somebody
who came here plopped out a baby?
We love babies. Seraphin House loves babies.
But I do think that we should actually prioritize the only
things that we can handle. We only can affect so much in
the world. Donald Trump says, I don't know,
I'm not a lawyer, When asked if everyone was entitled to due
process. This is kind of an analogous
story. This is the reason why I had it
up there. It's analogous to the thing on
whether or not he's going to pick and choose from the
Constitution. Isn't that fair game at this
point? Haven't we?
Haven't we decided it's fair game for you to go?
I don't know. I'm not a lawyer.
Don't we have somebody on the Supreme Court in that building
right there? Katenji Jackson Browne, Katenji
Brown Jackson, whatever the hell she wants to go by these days.
She's not a biologist. She couldn't even tell you what
a woman is. Even though the left constantly
lionizes women, it does seem like it's a fair say that I'm
not a lawyer. I'm not a professional at
interpreting law. But what did he also say
earlier? How about common sense?
We'd like to go with common sense right now.
We would like to see an America that actually turns on common
sense and they have a hard time doing it.
Let's do a couple other little quick stories here.
A judge issued a permanent block of Donald Trump's executive
order targeting Perkins quiz law firm.
This is coming from ABC News. The ruling is a rapid rebuke of
the government's actions. If you want to know why being a
lawyer probably doesn't mean anything about whether or not
you have any common sense or whether you can read plain text,
they don't actually hold lawyers opinions necessarily on any kind
of higher par unless they've proven to be someone who is an
honest operator. And often times that's not the
case. This federal judge on Friday,
this is coming just before the weekend, issued a permanent
ruling barring the Trump administration from implementing
the executive order that they put out, saying that Perkins Kui
could not have a security clearance describing Donald
Trump's effort to crack down on law firms as an
unconstitutional, an unprecedented attack on the
basic foundations of rule of law.
That is all the scaffolding. Because when you get right down
to it, there is nothing in the Constitution that says that you
have a right to have the secrets of the state because you're a
law firm. What the actual hell are we
talking about? And, by the way, is this judge
whose name is, I think, Beryl. Beryl.
Yeah, there it is. Beryl Howell.
It's an odd name. Beryl Howell, U.S.
District Judge in DC. She quoted Shakespeare of all
things and said the first thing we do is let's kill all the
lawyers. It's a cringe worthy plot twist
on the theatrical phrase let's kill all the lawyers.
That Executive Order 14230 says it's an approach of let's kill
the lawyers. I don't like sending a clear
lawyers. That lawyers must stick to party
lines or else is what she put in her writing.
Well, if that's the case, shouldn't they reinstate my
security clearance immediately and that of Gerardo Boyle and
that of Marcus Allen and Steve Friend, Shouldn't everybody be
entitled to a security clearance and then the due process by
which you can remove it? This is ADC based attorney who
is backing whatever she likes completely in opposition to any
sensibility. By the way, there's some some
strong case law that says otherwise.
Navy versus Egan, which was done, adjudicated in 1989, tells
us that we have no right to a security clearance.
As you might expect. It's not a thing that they have
to grant you and you have no right to appeal a security
clearance being pulled, which is why I am so strong and so
aggressive on people like Tulsi Gabbard going through and
revoking them writ large. You have no right to a
clearance, and a clearance doesn't grant you access to
information. So let's say you do have that.
What do people do with their security clearances?
Think about every single intelligence community person
that's paraded out on NBC and ABC and CNN and so on and so
forth. What do they do?
They say what they used to do, and they imply because they have
a current active national security clearance, that they
also somehow can read everything.
Everyone of you out there that's ever had a top secret clearance
like I have know exactly what you can and can't do.
You don't have a lot of rights to anything.
You need to have what's called a need to know.
It's actually part of the NDA disclosure that you fill out
when you get that clearance. Getting a security clearance
gives you no access to anything. It doesn't give you a right to
anything. So this is going to actually
have no real effect other than these people can apply for jobs
that Perkins squee folks to represent certain people because
they are in that place and it's a big back scratching friend.
It's that big club that you're not in.
All they're doing is they're saying you must allow them to
bid on the specific jobs and lobby on behalf of these people
and so on and so forth. Specifically because we have
ordained them to be part of the club that you're not in.
And that is that big scaffolding that runs all around our, our,
our actual law, all the case law that's built out there when
people don't do their freaking jobs.
The article one job of the legislator is to pass laws that
the people that they represent want.
You'd think that that would be actually of interest for folks.
So I got a story of that actually happening here in
Texas. It's supposed to happen at the
local level. And of course, leftists are
freaking the hell out about this.
No standards whatsoever. We care about kids.
We care about kids, but not wealthy kids, but not kids who
actually have parents who are kicking into the money.
This is a press release coming from Attorney General Ken
Paxton, who is running to unseat John Cornyn.
As far as I can tell, I haven't seen, like, any big push on
this. But that's what needs to happen.
Ken Paxton celebrates school choice for Texans and vows to
defend the new law. Oh, So what we have, he says
today, this is going on. This was kicked in, I think, on
Friday. He says today, Texas parents and
school children secured a major victory.
Who secured it? The people.
The people that are being represented by those in the
state legislature. OK.
It's a universal school choice bill.
It's a historic step in ensuring that students will have the
freedom to seek educational options that are right for them
and not be trapped in schools that fail to meet their academic
needs. In other words, this very
important thing where you connect the mission right, the
task with the purpose, the thing that you hope to achieve with
the mission. How about that?
How about government looking at it that its job is to keep force
and fraud away from folks and if it's going to serve and provide
services, then it actually has to be of service.
I had a friend who was a New Mexico State Police officer.
He retired. He had 30 plus years in, and he
said he never told people that he was in the business of public
service. He was never a public servant,
but he wanted to be a person that was of service.
And that is a slight distinction, but it's really
important because a public servant just has to do what
they're told. But somebody who is of public
service sees that there is a good and serves values and tries
to achieve the mission on behalf of the actual purpose, the
commander's intent, or in this case, our founder's intent.
Our founder's intent was that the government was meant to
serve us, not that we were meant to be indoctrinated and
therefore had to serve our government.
When you get it backwards, you end up pretty screwed up, He
says They're not going to be trapped in these schools that
fail to meet their academic needs.
If radical activists and special interests sue to prevent
children from receiving education that is best for them,
I promise to vigorously defend the bill.
Texas will provide educational freedom and school choice to our
students. The the opposition parties that
were incredibly upset about this stuff.
I went and read a bunch of it. What they stated was we are now
going to see less money available and you're going to
see good teachers who don't have jobs now in Texas schools.
Anybody who's been paying attention knows how crazy that
is because we are in a scenario right now where the purpose of
the school is not to provide education or to give the
information that parents want their kids to be indoctrinated
with in their own values. Or actually even just keep
values out of it and just give them solid information that they
can go make good decisions on. No, it is meant to indoctrinate
towards a leftist agenda and that is why they continue to add
more and more administrators. The cost per student continues
to go up, but the salaries of teachers are not keeping pace
with it. I think a lot of people are not
are not opposed to paying teachers, although teachers tend
to be less and less qualified, and that's something Less and
less qualified people are taking cash, and in doing so, those
people are more and more indoctrinated.
When your school only exists to make sure that the school itself
remains healthy. They have forgotten the
fundamental mission. They have disconnected tasks and
purpose. We did a whole show on that the
other day. It continues to be the case.
I think school choice is the one thing that keeps people
accountable, and it's a lot of money too.
It's like 10,300 to $10,900 per student that you can apply if
you're in private schools, $2000 towards books and educational
costs for people that are doing homeschooling.
I guarantee you we spend at least that much.
My wife asked me the other day, hey, can I spend $600.00 on
books and curriculum for one of our daughters?
Yeah, absolutely. And then the time and the cost
and the opportunity cost of her not working under her master's,
it's significant. It's worth it because our kids
are worth it. That's part of the American
dream, too. I get that people might want to
come here because of that. I get that people may want to
show up in the United States because they think their kids
are worth it. But it turns out if you break
the law, you're also putting your kid at risk and potentially
finding yourself back in Havana, Cuba, while your husband has to
hang out in the United States because they're your husband's
AUS citizen and you blew it. Isn't that like so simple?
By the way, the left can't get it right.
We're going to do a quick little move over my buddies over at
Shield Arms just because I'm thinking about them right now.
I'm thinking about freedoms. I'm thinking about dollars.
Also, we had somebody like send me a couple of like, quote UN
quote ominous messages over e-mail.
You're next with an address that was like what our weekend had.
Like we had people that decided they were going to send whatever
the hell that kind of threat is. I'll just let you guys know I
carry a Shield Arms handgun every day.
It's a Glock 43 X. I've got their magwell, I've got
their mag release, and I carry their 15 round magazine.
If you guys want to get your own Shield Arms upgraded mags for
the small Glocks, highly recommend them.
They make base plates for bigger Glocks as well.
That's me out there on the range when I first demoed this thing.
I've got two different pistols that are that are equipped this
way. The website isshieldarms.com.
The promo code is Kyle. It's Kyle.
We'll give you 5% off. You can get the base plates.
I carry a 20 round reload almost everywhere when I go in big
public because it's so small right now.
And then the small handgun holds 15 + 1.
So that's a pretty high capability.
It's a really decent little pistol package.
And these guys are basically like, hey, how can we make the
smallest, most capable thing for somebody that wants to be a
individual first responder, that wants to be able to take their
own safety in their own hands? We do that here.
I don't have to worry about like whether or not there's a cop.
I don't have to lean on the government in the same way that
all of our foundational members of this this this nation looked
at it. They thought that their personal
safety was their own personal responsibility.
That's what the first the first and second men are about.
You should be able to speak and you should be able to defend
yourself for whatever speech you have.
Guys, I've shot this gun all the way out to like 85 yards too.
So like it's not that hard to do.
You can shoot much further than that on person side targets.
If you guys want to check it out again, shieldarms.com promo code
Kyle, I'm going to come back in here and pull this little story
up because again, remember the, the big controversy of, of
shipping people offshore? This is really funny.
This is actually truly amusing to me.
There was a big stink on the political left.
God forbid we take a people that came to the United States
illegally and ship them to another country.
We offshored our prisoners and then Donald Trump was floating
the idea. Well, what if we just offshore
all of our people, including American citizens and housed
them in prisons that are not in America And they went, ah, due
process, rule of law, constitution, all this crap.
Where is it at? Here it is.
It's a choice to obey the Constitution, blah, blah, blah.
We don't know. He's not a lawyer.
He doesn't know about due process.
They're all crying about that, right?
And then you get to the funny part Donald Trump decides to
troll again. I don't think this is a great
troll. I think Alcatraz is awesome as
a, as a tourist location. I think it's cool as a place,
physically, as like somebody asked me, like, you know, would
you? We're in 8th grade.
I visited as part of an eighth grade trip.
And I was like, dude, I would totally live here.
He's talking about reoccupiting Alcatraz as a prison and
apparently assigning an order to do that.
Just that for anybody who's from the Bay Area, that's pretty
amusing. He said that he's going to be
directing his administration to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the
notorious former prison on an island off the coast of San
Francisco. It's in the Bay.
I used to live right at the top of the street where I was on.
I was on Bay Street, and you could step out of my little
apartment building and look right into Alcatraz, especially
when there was no fog. It's a beautiful location,
Pretty funny. Makes me think of The Rock with
movies when I was a kid about this.
He said for too long America's been plagued by vicious and
violent and repeat criminal offenders, the drags of society
who will never contribute anything other than misery and
suffering. He's not wrong, by the way.
We are if we're a serious nation.
In times past we did not hesitate to lock up the most
dangerous criminals and keep them far away from anyone that
they could harm. That's the way it's supposed to
be. So now he's going to get the
Department of Justice, the the FBIHSI Bureau of Prisons to
reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt Alcatraz, the House
of America's most ruthless and violent offenders.
It will serve as a symbol. It is a symbolic thing.
And now they're mad about it, right?
They're upset. They're so upset.
How dare he? Is it financially reasonable?
No. Is it symbolic?
Yes. Is it funny to troll?
I think so. Does he actually mean to do
this? I don't know.
I actually don't know. I kind of hope not.
I love Alcatraz. I think it should be a place
people could visit. It is an incredible location,
especially in today's age with the ability we have to like ship
things over there. It would be better off as a, as
a resort than it would be. And it's, it's beautiful.
It's absolutely beautiful. When you go there, the views are
stunning. You're in the, in this base and
looking up at all the pieces of you can see the, the San
Francisco, what they said, the reason that it was such a, a, a
horrific place to be housed, by the way, having done the tour
there, the horrific reason for housing there is that at night,
the sounds of merrymaking on the Wharf and the sounds of the city
life bustling around and people living in freedom.
It can, they can waft over the waters and it can be heard
through the windows. And so people that were sitting
in the prison could hear people living their lives freely and
know that it was completely beyond their, their, their
touch. And that's why it was such a
difficult place to do time in because they were in such close
proximity. They could actually see the
lights right, of the city where people were living back when San
Francisco was not a place that was a prison in and of itself.
And at that time, those folks were they would lose hope.
It makes sense in some ways. Again, it's symbolic, but you
can't they can't get themselves together.
They can't get their, their, their, their ducks in a row for
this. I got two more stories.
This one was actually really funny.
PBSCEOS crying about not getting funding.
Donald Trump is talking about targeting their funding.
So I went to the PBS website this morning and the first thing
I saw was this banner that I threw up here.
It's an all red. It blocks out the entire screen
on your computer. PBS News support PBS new an hour
your tax deductible donations to ensure our vital reporting
continues to thrive. Donate here.
PBSCEO says we've never seen any circumstances like this after
Donald Trump is targeting their funding.
That's being covered by CBS because they all cover for each
other. God forbid.
The CE OS name is Paula Kruger. She said on Sunday.
We've never seen a circumstance like this where Donald Trump's
executive order aimed at cutting federal funding to two major
public broadcasting systems, PBS and NPR.
You know, those such balanced things that they represent all
Americans. It's kind of like our clip with
Seth Brogan. Yeah, Seth Brogan, Democrats and
Republicans, right? Well, F Republicans, he said.
That seems to be the attitude that these people live on.
And so just to prove it to you, I decided to go here.
I went and looked at what are their top stories.
These are all coming from March 4th and March 5th.
These are the top stories. There's six of them that are
being covered by PBS Weekend news #1A family planning clinic
loses Title 10 funding, overstatement supporting DEI.
Those are abortion clinics, by the way, folks.
I went and read the story about that.
So they're very mad about abortion clinics losing money
when they support women's BS and and and DEI and I mean bit
women's DS because none of those things are on American values.
They also have a story covering Spitfire Chronicles, the daring
flights of American women pilots during World War 2.
OK, got it. They also have an interesting
story like we talked about here on the Kyle Seraphin Show the
other day, why young adults are lonelier than ever and what can
be done to help them. Probably getting off the
Internet. We can know that right away.
They got another story that's totally not partisan, talking
about vaccine hesitancy driving a spike in pediatric flu deaths.
They're celebrating the death of 216 children from the flu this
year. By the way, the only people that
historically die from the flu statistically are very, very
young people whose immune systems cannot handle it and
very, very old people. And that happens every year all
the time. They're talking about a 15 year
high. We don't believe in institutions
anymore in the same way. We don't trust their numbers.
We saw what they did with COVID numbers.
So I don't have a whole lot of faith in that.
But there you go. Vaccine hesitancy.
So that's a shot at the HHS. How about this one?
The New York Times investigations find that there's
no evidence linking many of the deported Venezuelans to Trend de
Aragua. Oh, So what they're saying is
the New York Times has the ability.
And by the way, I checked into all these stories just to kind
of see them real quick. The New York Times has the
ability to vet the information that comes in through FISA,
which we were told was a good thing, and other sort of law
enforcement means, including confidential informants,
historical knowledge and databases, all kinds of things
that are not published because they are not actually
prosecuted. It's actually not illegal to be
in a gang until very recently with this Trump administration
movement where they're calling them terrorists.
There was a time when just being in a gang, it's not illegal.
It's just a thing that we associate you with criminal
actors and so you have to have more scrutiny anyway.
The New York Times is apparently capable of vetting and is more
reliable than our DOJ. They can't have it both ways,
right? Because they love the FBI.
When it was going after Christians and calling them
terrorists, it loved the FBI. When they're going after Trump
supporters and calling them terrorists as J Sixers, these
people will flip on a dime. They've got no standard
whatsoever. And then the last one is my most
favorite. Why don't we find a way to turn
this into real scare tactics? How shorting staffages, staffing
at the National Weather Service could put lives at risk.
I kid you not, there is a story at PBS talking about if you
don't have enough people working for the National Weather
Service, people could die. I won't hit you with the people
could die thing, but you guys know what I think about that.
Pretty wild. Let's do a little bit of lighter
news. There are people lobbying left
and right and attempting to get their person from the College of
Cardinals named to be the next Pope.
It's a big deal for Catholics. Donald Trump tweeted out a
picture of himself or posted it over on on True Social.
It was like an AI generated thing with him wearing the Pope
outfit, putting a hand up and doing the Pope thing and people
either thought that was funny, which I think it's a funny
troll. Who cares?
That's the joke that a lot of people that are Catholic would
make because we're regular people with good sense of humor.
And then there's people that like decided to get take it on
the nose. And of course, they're the same
people that are righteously indignant about other stupid
things that Donald Trump does. He's a mixed bag.
He's trolling. Is it a a great look for the
American president to be trolling the College of
Cardinals during Conclave? I don't know.
Probably not. But these guys are out there
doing social media now, so that's pretty funny too.
So you got a whole story about how for the first time probably
in the history of the world in 2025 and in direct contradiction
for what happened in 2013, we are seeing Cardinals going to
social media. And they are advocating and
giving insight into their mindset as they go into this
conclave, which is a very weird and secretive process.
And the whole thing is strange. And I don't get into the church
politics because it's not my bag.
Like most people that are probably attending the Catholic
Church, like how they do this, even even who they choose as a
Pope is not going to affect the way that I practice my faith.
I think a lot of people feel that too.
Like if if Pope Francis was saying that blessing gay
marriages is fine, that doesn't change the way that I feel about
it. Just like it doesn't change the
way most of your Catholic neighbors are out there thinking
about it. But it is interesting that
they're out there getting more transparent.
As the world moves forward, it becomes more transparent.
This is a cardinal out of Tokyo who was riding on a bus with a
bunch of guys. There's a whole bunch of these
people. They all have social media
accounts. Some of them have bigger
followings than others. We even talked about on the call
in program. So you guys can check out our
call in program from last Friday night.
We'll do that. So in honor of that, that's
where our palate cleanse is going to go.
But I just want to say like I keep seeing all of these
standards pushed across. And the last one that I want to
touch on, which makes me sick is when again, this is this is
government mission divorced from the actual mission itself or its
purpose now is not the mission. This is was one story from NPR.
So we talked about PBS. I wanted to do an NPR story.
This was a big to do yesterday. As far as I can tell on social
media, an exhibit honoring victims of gun violence at the
ATF headquarters was taken down. So you got members of like
Parkland families and other people whose family had pictures
up on this wall display are very, very upset because the ATF
headquarters has taken it down. In addition, by the way, the
Trump administration has submitted a budget for like
$468,000,000 less than last year.
They did the same thing with the FBI.
There's a whole bunch of these places that have basically been
listed as being less funding. They want to reform and
streamline the FBI with $545 million less than the year
before, The DEA losing $212 million and the ATF, the
refocusing ATF enforcement and regulatory priorities,
$468,000,000 less. They want to focus less on going
after the 2nd Amendment and more about, you know, doing the
things that it's supposed to be doing.
The fact of the matter is the ATF is supposed to be a tax
organization. So you explain to me how we end
up with this place where the purpose is the ATF celebrates,
quote UN quote, gun violence victims in their main
headquarters in the, in the hallway lobby, When in reality,
the the, the entire purpose of the ATF was to collect taxes on
alcohol and tobacco firearms was added in after the National
Firearms Act of 1934. It's a relatively new idea that
there would even be a law enforcement mission.
So seeing Trump kind of refocus that, of course there's going to
be a push back on it. Again, double standards left and
right. These people don't care about
rule of law. They care about using weaponized
government to be create victims. And I'll lastly say this, if
you're upset about them taking this thing down, then you should
also be demanding that Mothers Against Drunk Driving and
Students Against Drunk Driving have an entire wall at the
Department of Transportation that honors the victims of, of
vehicle violence, the victims of vehicle violence, you know, the
people that have been killed by automobiles.
We don't do that. dot is supposed to like handle roads
and infrastructure. ATF is supposed to handle taking
our tax dollars, which we don't even like in the 1st place to
just basically regulate some nonsensical laws that Congress
could do infringe on our Second Amendment.
Because again, none of these people actually care about the
words of the Constitution. I'm not a lawyer, but I can read
what it says and it shall not be infringed.
Anyhow, that's what that is. OK, We're going to do a palate

interesting, don't send me any live animals, please.
And how about a little palate cleanse because we need it
today. How about a palate cleanse about
Cardinals and the conclave? And how come we've never had an
Irish Pope? This is some interesting ideas
that the Irish Cardinals are floating out at the moment.
There's never been an Irish Pope.
One of. Us.
I don't see why not. I only have a few ideas.
We can rule on increasing the alcohol percentage of the altar.
One. OK, Sunday morning Mass starts
at 11 AM, not 830. It's a weekend day.
Come on. The communion wafer.
Sure, it could be bread or it could be potato.
You mean crisps? Exactly.
Cheese and onion flavour lads. They'll be queuing around the
block if the church starts doing cheese and onion flavour potato
chips for the for the host. I, I don't know if I could go
back. But anyway, that's fun stuff.
I love it. I love people having a good bit
of fun of it. And there's something about an
Irish accent that makes us laugh and think that they're all drunk
for some reason. All right, God bless all of you.
Speaking of that, thanks for being part of the program.
I look forward to seeing you again throughout this week.
We start live at 0930 Eastern Time.
