1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,000
Take a look behind the curtain 
with a real whistle blower, an 

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,520
American patriot prepared to 
embrace the uncomfortable truth.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,880
Because this program has no time
for comforting lies. 

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,160
Here is civil liberties 
enthusiast, Second Amendment 

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,760
defender, and recovering FBI 
agent Kyle Seraphim. 

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,640
Hello my friends. 
Welcome to the Kyle Seraphin 

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,040
show. 
It's Friday, so you know it's 

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:25,640
friendly. 
Friday. 

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,560
We're going to be bringing on 
Steve friend in a short period 

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,040
of time. 
Here our buddy who is the fellow

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,760
for the Center for Renewing 
America, and we're going to be 

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,160
talking about the geriocracy. 
What is a geriocracy? 

13
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:42,600
Geriatrics is the science of the
health of old people. 

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,960
Most callously stated as I can 
do it as a younger person, 

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,920
somewhat younger I guess. 
And we're going to get into the 

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,480
fact that maybe we are being 
ruled by the oldest rule of the 

17
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:54,640
agent. 
It used to be that there was a a

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,760
rule of ages. 
I think now we are we are 

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,440
dealing with something where the
maybe the least fit are the ones

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,880
that are in charge. 
And that's not going to surprise

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,960
any of you. 
But there is an interesting 

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,720
trend there and I think 
Americans should know about who 

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,840
it is that they are electing. 
Before we get into bringing 

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,760
Steve on, I want to say thank 
you to our sponsors and most 

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,760
specifically, I want to say 
thanks to Catholic Vote. 

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,120
Check this out. 
Got my Catholic vote mug sitting

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,560
right next to me. 
They sent me a couple of these 

28
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,480
for when we do interviews in 
person and we're really 

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,600
grateful. 
Check out the Loop. 

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,200
This is the Loop cast right 
here. 

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,040
This is their e-mail chain. 
You can pull that sucker up. 

32
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,200
Very easy for you to get on 
board with it. 

33
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,560
They've got some great articles 
in there Today. 

34
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,240
I went and looked at them. 
In fact, it would have made for 

35
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,000
a great show. 
They're talking about Tommy 

36
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,200
Tuberville holding the line. 
They're talking about the FBI 

37
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,080
producing some documentation to 
the weaponization committee and 

38
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,360
Jim Jordan. 
Actually, I think they're doing 

39
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,400
it specifically to the Judiciary
Committee, so the broader 

40
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,800
committee about going after 
Catholics in the Richmond 

41
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,800
division. 
Apparently there's been a 

42
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,920
production of like 266 pages of 
evidence from the FBI under 

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,520
subpoena. 
So that's fantastic news. 

44
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,440
Couple other things about the 
school boards going on in 

45
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,440
Virginia and so on. 
So check out the loop. 

46
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,400
Just enter in your e-mail and 
your zip code, sign up for that 

47
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,560
thing. 
They just crossed the the 

48
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,840
barrier of 500,000 subscribers. 
And while you're doing that, you

49
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,919
can make sure that you're 
subscribed to our channel. 

50
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,040
If you're not subscribed on 
Apple, Spotify, iHeartRadio, 

51
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,240
wherever you're listening to the
audio podcast, then make sure 

52
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,800
you are also subscribed to 
rumble.com/kyle Serafin where 

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,680
the live video goes out on 
Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

54
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,000
We'll also say thanks to Patriot
Coolers real quick. 

55
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,880
Let me bring them up here. 
You all know them. 

56
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,440
I've got my cooler right next to
me. 

57
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,640
I've got my Tumblr sitting next 
to me and goes out and I abuse 

58
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:34,000
it in the garage gym every 
morning. 

59
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,960
Use promo code Kyle, Kyle combo 
code Kyle gets you 10% off. 

60
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,880
There's free shipping over 50 
bucks. 

61
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,840
And as you can see here, they've
given back. 

62
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,720
If you're watching on the Rumble
channel, you're seeing that 

63
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,640
their donation is topped 
$370,000. 

64
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,480
I'm sure that that needs to be 
updated soon because they 

65
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,080
continue to to make those 
donations if they're helping 

66
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,320
veterans who need mobility 
issues in their homes. 

67
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,640
And I carry one right here 
sitting right next to me. 

68
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,920
This one has my smoothie in it 
because my wife doesn't like it.

69
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:06,320
If I don't have some calories in
the morning, I get grouchy. 

70
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,160
That's how it goes. 
I got you guys in the chat that 

71
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,320
are giving me a hard time 
because I haven't sent Ryan one 

72
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,000
of these. 
It's pending. 

73
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,120
We'll work on it. 
I just, I keep forgetting and 

74
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,640
Ryan doesn't bother me during 
the day about it. 

75
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:18,600
It only happens right before the
show that I think Ryan needs a 

76
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,240
Patriot cooler too. 
Again, promo code Kyle. 

77
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,400
Kyle promo code Kyle gets you 
10% off. 

78
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,440
Spend 50 bucks, you get free 
shipping. 

79
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,080
Easy stuff. 
Let's let's kick this thing off.

80
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,160
Ryan is not going to be talking 
during the show because right 

81
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,680
now he is living in a 
construction zone. 

82
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,720
Every time he brings it up, you 
can hear the the backing of 

83
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,960
heavy vehicles and jackhammers. 
So we're going to bring on the 

84
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,080
real Steve friend, our friend, 
author, former FBI agent, 

85
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,080
suspendable and Center for 
Renewing America fellow. 

86
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,280
Let's get that muted, that mic 
unmuted. 

87
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,000
And if you're not looking on the
Rumble channel, what you were 

88
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,240
missing is that there's the butt
end of a scorpion that Steve 

89
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,600
Frant is wearing on a shirt. 
Steve, are you muted? 

90
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,720
Are you? 
Are you bringing it? 

91
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,960
To him. 
There you are. 

92
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,600
That was a silent laugh that was
like a like a like an internal 

93
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,480
chuckle I just saw then. 
I, I mean, I'm trying to be 

94
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,000
professional. 
I'm letting you run the show 

95
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,200
here on the Kyle Seraphin show. 
If it said the real Steve French

96
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,760
show then I would just let her 
RIP. 

97
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,560
And you would be having your mom
write all the ghostwritten 

98
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,880
reviews. 
Exactly. 

99
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,279
I've met. 
That's my my plan. 

100
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,920
I just fumble out this morning. 
I'm gonna have her write some 

101
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,000
five star reviews and compliment
me on my Scorpion shirts and 

102
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,840
then pump us up for the weekend,
which I make is extremely 

103
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,720
excited for. 
Sunday is National Whistleblower

104
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,840
Day, right? 
So we need to commemorate that 

105
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:35,360
with some sort of suspendables 
merch or flag or something like 

106
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,200
that. 
Then maybe the FBI can fly 

107
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,560
proudly outside all of its 
facilities for the month of July

108
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,520
the remaining couple days. 
We are going to be doing a 

109
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,640
little whistleblower 
celebration, which is a clip 

110
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,240
that I grabbed from Tom Elliot. 
And if those of you watch Dan 

111
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,360
Bongino show, then you'll 
recognize this clip or actually 

112
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,240
you're gonna play the full 
thing. 

113
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,640
I'll break it up since it more 
or less deals with both of us. 

114
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:56,840
Before we got on the show here, 
we were talking about vinegar 

115
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:58,840
runes. 
You've never seen a vinegar 

116
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,600
rune, is that correct? 
No, this is a foreign creature. 

117
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,720
To me, that sounds like 
something that belongs in a 

118
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,680
monster movie. 
All right, folks, so it's 

119
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,800
friendly Friday. 
We can go a little bit off topic

120
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,040
for a second here. 
If you've never been to the the 

121
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,160
brilliant, the beautiful state 
of New Mexico known as the Land 

122
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,120
of Enchantment. 
But some of us know it is the 

123
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,640
land of entrapment, but 
especially if you're a young man

124
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,040
that moves there, you're likely 
to come out with like a female 

125
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,640
attached to you just said that 
was that was the briefing I got 

126
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,120
when I was in the Air Force. 
So they have these monsters. 

127
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,720
My my wife and I used to 
actually call it monster season 

128
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,680
in April. 
Do you have monster season in 

129
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,880
Florida? 
I I don't think you. 

130
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,760
Do yeah. 
It's called Hurricane. 

131
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,040
Season. 
OK, those are different. 

132
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Yeah. 
That's winds. 

133
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,640
Monsters. 
Winds. 

134
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,760
I'm talking about critters. 
And so you would walk outside 

135
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,480
and there'd be like a, you know,
tarantula the size of your palm 

136
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,720
just walking around. 
I once saw tarantula up in my 

137
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,720
belfry 'cause we had like this 
big entryway. 

138
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,880
You walk in and it was like, you
know, 25 feet up and it looked 

139
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,840
like the tarantula was humping 
something, but it was eating a 

140
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:02,320
bat, a small bat, like the size 
of, you know, like a bigger than

141
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,120
a golf ball but smaller than a 
tennis ball. 

142
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,480
It ate the whole bat over a 
period of a day. 

143
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,120
Did you point that out to your 
children in the circle of life? 

144
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,480
And they don't have to watch 
Lion King now. 

145
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,680
Well. 
We all watched it. 

146
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,400
It was horrifying and 
interesting at the same time. 

147
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,880
And it was 15 feet above our 
head. 

148
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,760
So we were worried about the bat
falling down when it was dead, 

149
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,600
but it ate the whole freaking 
bat. 

150
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,760
And so we would have these 
monsters pop up. 

151
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,000
There'd be bats, obviously big 
bats and small bats. 

152
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,480
They were tarantulas. 
They were scorpions, which are 

153
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,840
pretty standard. 
Those are in your shoes or 

154
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,040
they're running around on the 
wall and or they're in the 

155
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,080
pantry, like hanging out trying 
to blend into the floor. 

156
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,560
And then there's these things 
called vinegar rooms. 

157
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:41,200
Vinegar rooms are like a hybrid 
of a man, like like a lobster or

158
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:47,880
a crawdad, a a crab, like a land
crab, a spider and a scorpion 

159
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,240
all mixed together in a blender.
And like God's nastiest, you 

160
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,200
know, nightmares when he just 
was bored and was like, what if 

161
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,840
I gave huge arms with these 
crazy claws to this spidery 

162
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:01,720
looking scorpion thing? 
But we took off the tail and we 

163
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,400
put a whip on there that spits 
out acid. 

164
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,800
That's a vinegar rune. 
Wow. 

165
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,080
And it's just like dangerous to 
like small children. 

166
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Can they die or just like a bee 
sting? 

167
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,800
It doesn't even bother them like
the acid is actually, it smells 

168
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,680
like vinegar, which is why 
they're named the way they are. 

169
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,600
And they just run around, spit 
out this little acid. 

170
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,920
Now Ryan's messing with us. 
Rumble Rick says send Matt a 

171
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,760
cup, Send him a muck. 
We'll we'll get him on. 

172
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,640
We'll get him there. 
I just I got to put together a 

173
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,560
package. 
One thing that people don't know

174
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,800
about me. 
Do you do you have any weird 

175
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,440
sort of like mental blocks that 
somebody asks you to do it? 

176
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,200
No matter how many times they 
ask you, you can't do it. 

177
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,560
Is there anything in your life? 
Yeah, I remember I had, I've 

178
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,800
still had this ongoing thing 
when I was a kid, my my mom, 

179
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,520
every morning I came out and I 
would just always forget to open

180
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,160
the blinds in the kitchen and 
used to make her so mad. 

181
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,000
She would say, I want natural 
light being in here. 

182
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,720
And I always just used to say 
like, well, I'm the only one 

183
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,640
here and I don't want natural 
light. 

184
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,280
So it just doesn't occur to me 
to open the blinds. 

185
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,600
And she would yell at me every 
single morning that I hadn't 

186
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,240
opened the blinds. 
There's like a mental block 

187
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,080
there, you just can't do it. 
Eventually just got to the point

188
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,120
where I enjoyed making your 
upset in the morning. 

189
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,560
So I have that with mailing 
packages or letters. 

190
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,360
I don't want to ever go to the 
mailbox ever. 

191
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,200
I don't know why. 
Maybe it's because I was broke 

192
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,520
at one point when I was in 
college and it was just a bad 

193
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,760
day. 
If I opened up anything in the 

194
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,800
mailbox and like, I can write 
things out, although I don't 

195
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,520
like to, I can put an address on
things, I can put a stamp on 

196
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,080
them. 
But getting it from wherever I 

197
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,360
am to the mailbox or to a, you 
know, to a package shipment, 

198
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,160
it's like I have a strong block 
there. 

199
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,320
It, it's really, really like 
it's, it's debilitating. 

200
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,080
It's like a phobia. 
It's, it's, it's a weird, I 

201
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080
mean, we all kind of have these 
weird bugaboos where people are 

202
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,559
just odd in general. 
I mean, just it's a good thing 

203
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,520
that you're married because 
obviously, like, you probably 

204
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,720
wouldn't my wife. 
Loves stamps. 

205
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,360
She loves stamps. 
She loves like she'll pay bills 

206
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,440
that we don't even owe money on.
Like you, you send her a bill, 

207
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,440
she's paying it. 
And then I'm, I'm looking around

208
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,800
going like, why do we pay that 
twice? 

209
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,320
Oh, because they sent it to us 
in the mail and I already paid 

210
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,080
it online. 
That's that's yeah, we're we're 

211
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,880
complimentary men and women 
turns out and, and just our 

212
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,280
friends. 
We all kind of complement each 

213
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,760
other. 
You talk about weird bugaboos. 

214
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,680
You've got some bugaboos that 
are going on right now. 

215
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,320
You see that pivot that was. 
Professional. 

216
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,080
That was professional 
broadcasting, Sir. 

217
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,760
Let's let's talk about this 
topic number one that we pulled 

218
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,720
on here. 
This is your most recent article

219
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,120
in The Federalist. 
I don't know if I told you we 

220
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,360
were going to talk about it, but
I'd like you to, to discuss it. 

221
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,880
Yeah, Well, well, let's do the 
first one first, which is that 

222
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,960
you, this article you wrote in 
April about the top 10 systemic 

223
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,160
issues, You're you're doing 
videos, video to drop. 

224
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,920
Like just rock'n'roll with that 
if you would. 

225
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,880
Yeah. 
So we filmed many videos for 

226
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,000
each one of these top 10 
systemic issues. 

227
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,960
It's all derivative from this 
policy paper that we wrote for 

228
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,920
Center for Renewing America or 
#2 was this week. 

229
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,520
And it dealt with this growing, 
creeping national security 

230
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,160
branch issue that we find within
the FBI, where it's something 

231
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,920
that you've talked about after 
911, how mission creep set in 

232
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,680
when the military was using 
counterinsurgency to confront 

233
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:56,840
enemies abroad. 
And the FBI had this domestic 

234
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,880
responsibility to sort of be the
century on the wall, but there 

235
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,560
was just not a lot to do. 
So they started to look for 

236
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,440
homegrown violent extremists and
that's when you started getting 

237
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,360
into the Liberty City 7 the 
entrapment of some Muslim 

238
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,240
Americans that still ongoing, 
but obviously that that is not 

239
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,880
as fruitful as they want it to 
be to justify the existence of 

240
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,080
the national security branch and
its funding. 

241
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,120
So now it's both focusing on the
domestic violent extremism as 

242
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,240
they label it. 
And those are your anti 

243
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,680
government extremists and your 
white supremacists. 

244
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:28,640
And, and they're playing with 
the numbers on that with 

245
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,360
obviously January 6th and 
another domestic terrorism 

246
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,480
cases. 
And as a result, we're having 

247
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,840
innocent Americans who are 
getting roped into the the 

248
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,040
counterterrorism sphere that the
FBI is putting out. 

249
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,800
All right. 
And so this week we're doing 

250
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,000
topic #2 it sounds like from 
your list you did a video on 

251
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,240
that, which people can see on 
your Twitter profile, I'm 

252
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,960
guessing? 
Yeah, it's pinned actually on 

253
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,320
Center for Renewing America's 
Twitter page as well. 

254
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,960
So if you want to catch at the 
top, that's that's where it is 

255
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,120
right now. 
And every Thursday at noon, 

256
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,320
we'll be dropping a new video 
and it's on all streaming 

257
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,880
services, YouTube, Rumble, 
everything and and all the 

258
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,840
social medias out there. 
So follow Center for Renewing 

259
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,080
America, whatever your social 
media platform of choice is, and

260
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,480
you will get it. 
OK, And then Ryan will pull up 

261
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,920
the second one, which is going 
to be the Federalist article 

262
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,920
which you just wrote. 
I think we've got that one right

263
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,640
there. 
Nope, not that one. 

264
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,280
There's one that just says that 
the FBI won't submit to the 

265
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,280
legislative authority. 
It's got a picture and this 

266
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,160
disarm all FBI agents if we can.
Let's talk through it, Steve. 

267
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,760
So you wrote this article for 
the Federalist. 

268
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,960
What was the what's the 
perspective here? 

269
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,320
And and where did, how did you 
come to it? 

270
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,920
It's sort of an idea that I've 
had percolating in my mind. 

271
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,120
And I threw it out to Seb Gorka 
on his show and he said I need 

272
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,160
to write a column about it 
because if I didn't, he would 

273
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,880
and he would take credit for it.
So that sort of spurred, wait, 

274
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,960
what is the motivation to start 
typing? 

275
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,200
And the the concept that I have 
is the 1811 criminal 

276
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,080
investigator position that the 
FBI refers to as a special 

277
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,840
agent. 
We can eliminate that position 

278
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,720
and return the FBI to its roots,
which they neglected to mention 

279
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,560
in their celebration of their 
their birthday this week, that 

280
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,280
the FBI wasn't always an armed 
force. 

281
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,320
It was a Bureau of unarmed 
investigators. 

282
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,120
And I think through the budget 
appropriations, the Congress 

283
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,880
certainly has the power now the 
Republicans are have the power 

284
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,320
of the purse strings currently. 
Presently, they can use them to 

285
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,680
defund armed investigators at 
the FBI and then also force the 

286
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:32,760
agency to partner with local 
sheriff's offices, tribal 

287
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,200
police, police departments, get 
their permission to do an 

288
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,400
investigation in their area. 
And then also work with officers

289
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,160
from those agencies in the form 
of task force officers, which 

290
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,440
there's already a proof of 
concept because there are task 

291
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,400
force officers who do work for 
the FBI. 

292
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,640
So we would just expand that 
through the US Marshall Service 

293
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,600
and basically make those guys 
the guns and have to get their 

294
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:58,360
consent to effect an arrest. 
And it's a final bulwark against

295
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,280
an out of control, politicized 
FBI, because now you're sheriff 

296
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,520
who's more accountable to you, 
who you elect and can directly 

297
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,560
get a meeting with if you want. 
It will be more incentivized to 

298
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:10,080
protect you from the FBI should 
it become politicized. 

299
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:14,200
Now you just mentioned the FB is
fake birthday. 

300
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,040
You want to get into that a 
little bit deeper. 

301
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,680
Yeah, I was. 
They were celebrating. 

302
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:21,360
What was it, 115 years, 125 
years? 

303
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,080
I can't remember the. 
Name. 

304
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,440
It's made-up, but 115. 
Yeah. 

305
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,320
And they the origin story of the
FBI is that it was not always 

306
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,920
the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation. 

307
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,600
It was a Bureau of 
Investigation. 

308
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,840
And for the first couple 
decades, those guys didn't carry

309
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,720
firearms. 
So it's a little bit of a 

310
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,920
deception on their part that 
they've been around in, in their

311
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,960
current status. 
And certainly it's evolved over 

312
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,480
the years and then more so now 
into this intelligence agency 

313
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,800
rather than a law enforcement 
agency that we see before us. 

314
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,360
So I I think that there's 
definitely a historical route 

315
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,720
for disarming the FBI. 
It's not something like it's 

316
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,760
never been tried before. 
And we can go to that and then 

317
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,600
say, look, if the if the FBI 
wants to claim credit for its 

318
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,720
years of existence, then it 
should be willing to go return 

319
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,280
to how it began. 
We, we've seen people online 

320
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,440
that have actually said, oh, the
FBI gets back to its core 

321
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,600
mission. 
Well, it's core mission was Rob 

322
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,560
investigating like Interstate 
gangsters and bank robberies. 

323
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,320
That's how it came into 
existence. 

324
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,800
And that's the reason why they 
got guns, by the way, in 1935. 

325
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,600
Yeah, they had to confront the 
the Capone Tommy guns that were 

326
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,920
just blasting up Chicago. 
The Chicago typewriter, right? 

327
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,680
So let me, let me ask you this. 
When you were sitting at the 

328
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,680
Academy, which would have been 
what, 9? 

329
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,440
Years ago, 2014. 
When you're sitting there and 

330
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,600
they do what's called the one 
week, I'm assuming you had a one

331
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,360
week where they introduced you 
to being a federal employee. 

332
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,560
Did you have something? 
Yes, your intro week in the 

333
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,080
auditorium where you sit there 
with a suit on. 

334
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,000
Right. 
And then they tell you about the

335
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,080
history of the FBI and one of 
the things they tell you is that

336
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,400
in 19 O 8, the Bureau of 
Investigation was founded and it

337
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,200
was under attorney general, what
was his name? 

338
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,320
Bonaparte, I think. 
And then it goes forward. 

339
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,760
And then at some point in time, 
Hoover gets involved in the 20s 

340
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,840
and then starts advocating, you 
know, starts handing out his own

341
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,720
guns, which I think is amazing. 
Was like literally handing out 

342
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,800
like like bags of guns to agents
so that they had things that 

343
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,960
they could just grab whatever 
they were comfortable with. 

344
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,960
The most Kyle Seraphim move 
ever, by the way. 

345
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,400
It is kind of a gangster move, 
but I mean, Hoover was a 

346
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,280
gangster in addition to being a 
tranny, so that makes some 

347
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,520
sense. 
So you've got this guy doing 

348
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,600
that move. 
And then in 1934, they passed 

349
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,440
the Bank Robbery Act, which 
allowed the FBI to go after bank

350
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,880
robberies that federalized the 
crime. 

351
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,760
And 1935, the FBI changed its 
name to the Federal Bureau of 

352
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,640
Investigation. 
When you heard that that, did 

353
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,760
you think that they were lying 
about the number of years the 

354
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,160
FBI had been in existence? 
Or was I the only one sitting in

355
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,920
that auditorium going like, I 
don't get it. 

356
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,000
Yeah. 
I mean, it's a completely 

357
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,960
different agency with different 
tools and a different name. 

358
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,600
I mean, it's not the same 
agency. 

359
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,400
You can evolve, at least say 
something to that effect, but 

360
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,280
it's not. 
It would be like the Army for 

361
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,160
the first few years, it was 
like, well, we were the Boy 

362
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,840
Scouts and we were doing camping
and learning how to sew and tie 

363
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,640
knots and then we got tanks. 
So we're we're we're in the Army

364
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,960
now and we've always been that. 
It's a little bit dishonest, I 

365
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,640
think. 
And I think that the focus on 

366
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,840
like crime and deterring crime 
and combating crime rather than 

367
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,360
being this intelligence 
gathering agency is really the 

368
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,240
biggest evolution that we've 
seen and that's been in the last

369
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,880
20 to 25 years. 
And actually the other thing 

370
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,040
that that was put out this week 
that I was a part of was this 

371
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,120
budget recommendation that 
Center for New America did. 

372
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,000
They asked me to give them some 
historical background on 

373
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,920
national security, an 
intelligence gathering. 

374
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,440
And our recommendation was to 
just pull all the funding from 

375
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,680
intelligence zero that out, but 
also beef up the criminal 

376
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,760
investigative side of the FBI. 
And actually, so you're not 

377
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,360
defunding police, you're 
providing additional funding. 

378
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,160
And then overall, the agency 
would be cut by about 25% of the

379
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,800
of its funds. 
But this, you're putting the 

380
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,800
money where it actually belongs,
where people expect it to go. 

381
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,240
From a historical perspective, 
from a pop culture perspective, 

382
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,000
look, the FBI is supposed to be 
the the police, the federal 

383
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,119
police or investigative arm at 
least of that. 

384
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,640
And that's not what it's doing. 
One of the recommendations you 

385
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,880
put in there is getting rid of 
what's called law enforcement 

386
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,480
availability pay, which we can 
do for armed federal agents, 

387
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,760
which is a 25% premium paid to 
all agents, 14,000 of them, many

388
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,800
of whom who don't have to work 
outside of they're, they're not 

389
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,800
available per SE. 
Like do you think you could call

390
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,280
your your sack at any given time
or your ASAC and expect them to 

391
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,079
be there at 3:00 in the morning 
at a prison if you had a 

392
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,920
somebody die? 
No, you certainly can't. 

393
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,880
And when it comes to Special 
Agent in Charge, Sherry Anks 

394
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,400
from the Jacksonville Field 
office, who lives 49 miles away 

395
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,560
from the office, That's one 
mile. 

396
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,680
Inside of the the outer arc you 
have to be within 50, don't you?

397
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,880
Yes, yes, be within 50, but 
certainly it's not keeping in 

398
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,200
the spirit with your commute is 
over an hour, which I'm sure if 

399
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,120
she was actually doing her 10 
hour work day, she was devoting 

400
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:58,120
that hour plus drive each way 
towards reaching that 10 hour 

401
00:17:58,120 --> 00:17:59,280
mark. 
She would never do that. 

402
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,120
That's. 
Not in policy. 

403
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,640
She would never do that. 
I'm sure she didn't send an 

404
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,360
e-mail when she got into her car
so that there's an actual 

405
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:09,240
digital record of her quote UN 
quote working and then driving 

406
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,000
for an hour, listening to the 
cough surfing podcast probably, 

407
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:15,200
and then going to work. 
Looking for for errors with 

408
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,040
Steve Friend's statement so she 
could try to file some sort of a

409
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,760
personal hatred with you. 
You mentioned the Army earlier, 

410
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,840
the Boy Scouts and the Army. 
There actually is a 1 to 1 

411
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,320
analogy with what went on in the
FBI changing names and and 

412
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,640
keeping the original birthday in
1926, the Army Institute of what

413
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,760
was known as the Army Air Corps,
where they started getting 

414
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,800
aviation units. 
They had some like, you know, 

415
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,800
some single planes, they had 
small planes, they had some 

416
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,280
balloons and some other things 
like that. 

417
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,560
And that became a full blown Air
Force, which at some point 

418
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,960
separated away. 
And that happened in 1947. 

419
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,400
I believe it's September 18th, 
if my Air Force history stands. 

420
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,640
So on September 18th, they 
dissolve the Army Air Corps and 

421
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,040
it became its own branch of the 
military known as the United 

422
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,440
States Air Force. 
And people celebrate the United 

423
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:07,080
States Air Force birthday not in
1926, but September 18th, 1947, 

424
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,920
the birth of the United States 
Air Force, the finest fighting 

425
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:15,280
Air Force in the world. 
And so there is a 1 to 1 line up

426
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,520
with that where you see, oh, OK,
that's exactly what you do. 

427
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,200
You take a new name, you break 
off from your previous agency, 

428
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,320
you, you take on new 
responsibilities and tools. 

429
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,680
You put a new banner up. 
You don't say under new 

430
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,400
management, but we claim our 
original grand opening. 

431
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,480
You don't get to do that. 
And, and that's what's so funny 

432
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,480
to me about the FBI. 
They should be claiming an 88 

433
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,440
year history and they claim 115 
'cause they think that's 

434
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,080
somehow, I don't know, more 
reputable. 

435
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,520
It's bizarre. 
Isn't it a little bit like a a 

436
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,320
sports franchise that picks up 
and moves to a different city 

437
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,240
and changes the name of its 
mascot, but then claiming like 

438
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,520
the Dodge won a Super Bowl back 
in the day when we were. 

439
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,960
When we were the Brooklyn 
Dodgers, we we won some World 

440
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,160
Series and and that's story 
franchise, it's. 

441
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,760
Not logical. 
It's not really in keeping I 

442
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,240
think with what we expect from 
them. 

443
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,600
But I'm, I'm interested you, I 
don't, you know, when the 

444
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,960
Department of Defense 
originated, when it claims, does

445
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,320
it claim to be the the War 
Department ever? 

446
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,360
I don't know. 
We should look into this. 

447
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:13,080
There's a couple things, folks. 
Put it down in the chat. 

448
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,880
Leave us a comment on the Rumble
Channel if you in fact know if 

449
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,400
DoD claims its Department of 
Wartime, or if it it probably 

450
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,840
does, to be fair. 
But yeah, they want to take 

451
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,240
Crest, the W for World War 2. 
They don't want to give that up.

452
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,880
Nobody wants to give up the W 
for the WW2. 

453
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,680
Back-to-back World War 
champions. 

454
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,000
That's right. 
It's like the Dallas Cowboys of 

455
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,040
the early 90s. 
They were, you know, they were a

456
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,240
franchise winner. 
It it's just, I don't know, I 

457
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,680
saw that as the original lie. 
Some of my Quantico classmates 

458
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,160
and I, the ones who think the 
way that you and I do, we're 

459
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,000
looking at that going like, oh, 
if they're going to lie about 

460
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,720
their birthday, what are the 
things will they lie about? 

461
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,800
And you've been a street cop. 
When someone lies about their 

462
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,280
birthday and their name, what 
are the things are they lying 

463
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,560
about usually? 
Warrant. 

464
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,800
Things that they did wrong in a 
criminal way. 

465
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,760
Yeah, exactly. 
I I actually in my take away 

466
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,760
from that week was the in the 
video presentation, the first 

467
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,920
thing they did about welcome to 
the FBI, they were touting that 

468
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,080
there was so much crime. 
It was rampant. 

469
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,760
It was like blood running 
through the streets. 

470
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,800
And then the arrow of 
progressivism came in and we 

471
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,600
were able to solve it with the 
FBI. 

472
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,800
And I remember thinking like 
that that's not something you 

473
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,800
should be taking credit for. 
That's not a that's not a 

474
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,600
victory. 
Progressivism is is a cancer. 

475
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,960
Right. 
It's not the one and that you 

476
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,120
think it is, but we're talking 
about government employees here 

477
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:23,680
that basically suckle at the 
government teat. 

478
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,360
Many of them have never had a 
private sector job or worked in 

479
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,800
another industry. 
So, yeah, I mean, or they're 

480
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,600
just going to roll right into 
big tech at the 17 year mark 

481
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,920
just before collecting that 
pension, they're going to roll 

482
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,440
in as some sort of advisor on 
election integrity at Facebook 

483
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,720
or Twitter and collect 5X what 
they were. 

484
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,160
Yeah, it's disgusting. 
All right, So Speaking of 

485
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,280
disgusting, Ryan, if you'll 
queue up video #8 I think Steve 

486
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,480
has already seen some of the 
stuff. 

487
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,040
I don't know if you were able to
get through the whole thing 

488
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,240
without pitching your lunch in 
between your shoes, but this is 

489
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,560
a video that comes from Tom 
Elliott's Twitter post. 

490
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,240
I think he did the Super cut or 
put it together. 

491
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,280
At least he was part of it. 
And Dan Bongino played a couple 

492
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,760
minutes of it. 
He played like the first, I 

493
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,920
don't know, 90 seconds of it. 
It's about 3 1/2 minutes long. 

494
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,560
We'll probably break in the 
middle and get a response and 

495
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,160
then we'll finish it out so we 
don't have just uninterrupted, 

496
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,400
nauseating video coverage. 
But let's play this. 

497
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,960
I'll get your reaction to it 
'cause I think it responds very 

498
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,360
well to the what we've 
experienced in this 

499
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,320
whistleblower space. 
So I'll let you play that 

500
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,440
whenever you're ready. 
Ryan, go and roll it. 

501
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,480
The attack on the whistleblower 
is is never wise, it's never 

502
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,320
lawful. 
It's never honorable. 

503
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,480
It's everything you said. 
It's a travesty. 

504
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,680
And I'm not going to call them 
whistleblowers. 

505
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,680
They don't deserve whistleblower
protection. 

506
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,600
Each and every one of them has a
strange history, has guess what 

507
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,480
Russian connections they always 
do. 

508
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,640
These are not, as we would 
consider them, whistleblowers, 

509
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,640
people who are alleging 
wrongdoing. 

510
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,200
They weren't really 
whistleblowers at all. 

511
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,280
In fact, they weren't even 
credible witnesses. 

512
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,440
Two or three people who are 
political operatives. 

513
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,240
But they're not. 
Whistleblowers. 

514
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,840
These guys are not 
whistleblowers. 

515
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,080
Period. 
Is a hard working patriotic 

516
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,840
person in the intelligence 
community who just wants to put 

517
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,600
the information out there and 
the President to call into 

518
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,480
question the credibility of this
whistleblower. 

519
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,800
They're referring to this 
whistleblower as the so-called 

520
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,960
whistleblower. 
Can you pause it right there for

521
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,840
me, Ryan? 
OK, so for those of you who are 

522
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,880
listening to this and you're 
going, what in the world am I 

523
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,640
hearing? 
There is a a jump back and forth

524
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,320
when you hear about the 
so-called whistleblowers. 

525
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,960
They're talking about guys like 
Steve Friend and me and Gerardo 

526
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,840
Boyle and Marcus Allen and Gary 
Shapley, who we just saw 

527
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,840
testify, and Joseph Ziegler, the
the two guys from the IRS. 

528
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,000
When they talk about the 
credible whistleblower, they're 

529
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,600
talking about 2019, the plot to 
overthrow this president. 

530
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,080
Who was Trump at the time? 
Who was that whistleblower and 

531
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,760
and how credible was he? 
Eric Charamella. 

532
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,480
I'm going to say the name. 
Don't say it. 

533
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,200
He's like. 
Voldemort. 

534
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,200
Voldemort that you must not be 
named. 

535
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,720
That was actually the largest 
temptation that I had when I 

536
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,200
testified. 
I wanted to say Eric Charamella 

537
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:15,280
so I could get the name on the 
Congressional Record and 

538
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,440
officially have that done by one
person. 

539
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,480
Because he's he's never been 
mentioned by name on the record.

540
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,640
No, that was the big thing where
they were trying to protect his 

541
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,520
identity. 
Yeah, Adam Schiff lost his mind.

542
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,400
Paul was was trying to say it 
and they were screaming and then

543
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,840
having it stricken from the 
records. 

544
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,400
And. 
And then have you ever looked 

545
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,840
into what happened to that guy 
afterwards? 

546
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,920
No, have you? 
I looked, I don't know, it was a

547
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,320
while back, and I think he was 
probably doing the same thing 

548
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,960
I'm doing, probably being like a
fellow at some big tank. 

549
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:43,960
He probably making way more 
money. 

550
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,000
Yeah, they made sure he landed 
comfortably. 

551
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,480
I'm sure. 
So he's the he's the credible 

552
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,840
whistleblower. 
So that's that's the, the thing.

553
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,200
That's the mid, the the what do 
you call it? 

554
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,440
Like the half court analysis. 
This is the, the half time piece

555
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,720
of it. 
Let's finish this video out and 

556
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,800
we'll we'll just reflect in a 
minute. 

557
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:07,600
You want to roll that, Ryan? 
So-called whistleblower on the 

558
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,000
Biden family. 
Welcome back to so-called 

559
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,240
Whistleblower from the so-called
Whistleblowers. 

560
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,000
See so-called whistleblowers, 
so-called whistleblowers, 

561
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,520
so-called whistleblowers, 
so-called whistleblower, 

562
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,320
so-called whistleblower, 
so-called whistleblowers. 

563
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,480
Whistleblowers. 
That's what he's calling them. 

564
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,320
Whistleblower whistleblowers or 
alleged IRS whistleblower. 

565
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,880
The GOP is marketing as 
whistleblowers, quote UN quote 

566
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,560
whistleblowers. 
Jim Jordan, who's the chair of 

567
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,560
the oversight committee, is 
lauding them as brave Americans.

568
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,360
Whistleblower, a true patriot 
coming forward with the 

569
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:45,480
allegations. 
But that's why the whistleblower

570
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,960
is a hero. 
In many ways, this whistleblower

571
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,240
is a hero. 
The whistleblower is a public 

572
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,680
servant. 
And now to stay anonymous, the 

573
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,800
heroism is being kind of thrust 
on this person. 

574
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,480
They can't imply this person is 
partisan Person has been deemed 

575
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,880
credible and a patriot with 
great courage to do the right 

576
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,880
thing. 
The whistleblower did was really

577
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,040
patriotic. 
Whistleblower was not alone 

578
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,320
spiritually a best composed, 
best written, best documented 

579
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,120
such complaint I've ever seen. 
Thank you whistle blower. 

580
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,200
I consider your complaint to be 
credible and urgent. 

581
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,640
Do what Donald Trump was doing 
in going after or targeting the 

582
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,240
people who helped this. 
I would say very brave whistle 

583
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,880
blower, if you've got an 
allegation against the Biden 

584
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,360
family, then come on board 
because you too can be their 

585
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:35,280
next whistleblower. 
Hunter Biden's whistleblower. 

586
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,760
This whistleblower who is going 
to just tell us all the horrible

587
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,360
things he'd been up to, 
reappropriating the term 

588
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:44,200
whistleblower after doing 
everything they could endanger 

589
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,000
the life of the actual 
whistleblower that led to Donald

590
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,640
Trump's first impeachment. 
The actual whistleblower. 

591
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,320
The actual whistleblower on 
these goose chases by Jim Jordan

592
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,600
after these supposed 
whistleblowers. 

593
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,160
Been trying to undermine the 
institutions that holds the 

594
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,680
powerful accountable. 
To try to come up with a 

595
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,720
whistleblower who is viable, 
Apple blower who is viable. 

596
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,560
I hope there are more 
whistleblowers out there. 

597
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,280
These folks are sophisticated. 
People inside the White House 

598
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:17,440
would say you're true patriots. 
Patriotic and dedicated 

599
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,840
Americans that this country has 
this whistleblower, This is 

600
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,640
another human being. 
It is a terrifying prospect to 

601
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,640
go and try to sound an alarm 
about the most powerful person 

602
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:33,600
in the country. 
The major pillars that prop up 

603
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,200
the Republican fiction that 
President Joe Biden and his 

604
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,120
family are entangled in some 
sort of criminal enterprise. 

605
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:43,520
The first pillar? 
A so-called whistleblower. 

606
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,160
Well, thanks for that Ryan. 
Ryan's got a video up here of a 

607
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,520
visual up here rather, if you're
not watching on our Rumble 

608
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,680
channel, go to about 22 minutes 
in and go watch that video for 

609
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,280
yourself. 
Or you can find it on Tom 

610
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,040
Elliott's Twitter. 
And and obviously it was quoted 

611
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,560
by Dan Bongino either yesterday 
or the day before, but 

612
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,160
fantastic, fantastic little cut 
up. 

613
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,920
They all get the same talking 
points. 

614
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,880
Where do those come from there, 
Steve friend? 

615
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,040
I don't know. 
I I mean, apparently Ryan J 

616
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,560
Riley isn't on those conference 
calls because he's always like a

617
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,080
week or two behind. 
But I I was really taken aback 

618
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,760
because that's actually probably
the most cable news that I've 

619
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:27,480
watched in a decade. 
Just Yeah, I never, I don't know

620
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,520
if I told you this, but so 
untalented and airbrained and 

621
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,840
the uncomfortable where they 
were clearly told make sure you 

622
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,680
do the air quotes so-called 
whistleblower. 

623
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,480
Right, so you're missing this if
you're not watching the videos, 

624
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,400
but literally four of them are 
doing air quotes, the hands in 

625
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,920
the air scare quotes when they 
say so-called whistleblowers or 

626
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,600
they quote UN quote 
whistleblowers. 

627
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,640
How how are whistleblowers 
defined? 

628
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,520
I know you guys had that come up
in the hearing. 

629
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,720
Yeah, Tristan Levitt to try to 
do a good job of explaining 

630
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,800
that, you know, he is a 
whistleblowing attorney who has 

631
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,200
devoted his life to that and is 
pretty familiar with the law. 

632
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,360
And the law is, and I think 
we've we've talked about it 

633
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,720
before and I know you've 
hammered it home. 

634
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,360
It's 5USC23O3. 
You have to be a government 

635
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,720
employee with a reasonable 
concern of waste, fraud, abuse 

636
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,920
or a risk to the public safety 
and bring those concerns forward

637
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,920
to list. 
I believe it's 7 potential 

638
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,240
places that you can bring your 
information to. 

639
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,280
Yeah, that sounds, that includes
your frontline supervisor. 

640
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,280
So if you walk into the boss's 
office and you're like, hey, 

641
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,560
I'm, I'm worried about this. 
That isn't actually protected 

642
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,280
whistleblower disclosure. 
You don't have to be right. 

643
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,640
You just have to be reasonable. 
Yeah, but have you been even 

644
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,440
adjudicated to be a 
whistleblower? 

645
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,400
Is that a real thing? 
Like, you love that part that 

646
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,320
makes me want to puke. 
By the way, All of that stuff 

647
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,360
makes me nauseated. 
Yeah, that was the big the big 

648
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,520
talking point during the the 
congressional hearing like. 

649
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,000
The FBI, you didn't say he's a 
whistleblower like the FBI 

650
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,800
somehow has. 
It's like the government 

651
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,560
investigated the. 
Government Stunner Stunner. 

652
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,800
The FBI investigated the FBI and
found that the FBI did nothing 

653
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,880
wrong. 
That's the that is the entire 

654
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,520
headline for the last couple 
years. 

655
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,000
Pretty shocking. 
Also in real time, we got a Fact

656
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,800
Check from Ryan Madda, he said. 
The Department of Defense the 

657
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:16,480
DoD was established August 10th,
1949 as an executive agency 

658
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,760
under. 
The Secretary of Defense, I 

659
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,160
stand corrected. 
I let let it not be said that I 

660
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,720
will not admit that I was wrong.
I'm surprised because I would 

661
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,240
think you'd want credit for the 
last actual military victory 

662
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,560
that's on record. 
Everything else has been that 

663
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,000
was under. 
The War Department, the war was 

664
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,880
exporting violence. 
The Department of Defense has 

665
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,200
gone, got a new mission. 
They are going to pretend like 

666
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,040
they are not exporting violence 
and they are now sort of 

667
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,520
euphemistically named. 
Amusingly, I feel like the 

668
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,080
Department of Defense is what 
Homeland Security should be. 

669
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,600
Homeland Security should not 
exist. 

670
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,360
It should be called the 
Department of Defense and then 

671
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,440
we should have a Department of 
War. 

672
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,960
I think truth in naming would be
a really good convention for 

673
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,960
this country. 
A little bit of honesty would go

674
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,840
a long ways. 
It would, It would help hide 

675
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,320
some things, but that's not the 
world we live in. 

676
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:03,320
Agree with you under a President
friend administration, Kyle Zerf

677
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,800
and shall be my Secretary of 
War. 

678
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,800
I'm not even sure that's the 
right answer. 

679
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,160
However, I love the. 
I love the instinct of it, 

680
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,400
Steve. 
Foreheads on foreheads, man. 

681
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,840
Warheads on foreheads, that is, 
that is what I signed up to go 

682
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,120
do. 
That was my that was my dream 

683
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,280
job. 
Tell people where they can find 

684
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,320
you, follow you and what they 
should be doing, how your book 

685
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,120
sales and everything else. 
Just send it out there. 

686
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,360
Yep, Twitter at Real Steve 
Friend. 

687
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,840
Despite the weekly censors, they
kept pulling me back down and 

688
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,280
they just crossed over 37,000 
this week. 

689
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,360
I was very excited. 
I don't know if you get a set of

690
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,200
steak knives or something 
because they were trying really 

691
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,940
hard to prevent that. 
I'm at True social at Real under

692
00:31:40,940 --> 00:31:44,880
score Steve Friend and you can 
find a link to my book on Amazon

693
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,680
on both of those social medias. 
The book is called True Blue, My

694
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,200
journey from beat cop to 
suspended FBI whistleblower. 

695
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,440
It is a best seller on Amazon 
under the law enforcement 

696
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,280
category. 
And I've been doing really well.

697
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,200
Been doing actually some events 
where people are coming out and 

698
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,320
buying. 
I had to purchase several 100 

699
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,400
books and been doing signed 
copies for folks as as I've done

700
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,520
some speaking engagements 
recently and will continue to do

701
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,320
so over the next couple months. 
My man, I appreciate you joining

702
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,000
me on Fridays. 
I know people love hearing the 

703
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,080
updates from you. 
We'll do it again real soon. 

704
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,720
I hope you have a fantastic 
afternoon and a good weekend 

705
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,040
buddy. 
You too. 

706
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,840
Thanks Sir. 
All right, we'll say bye to 

707
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,360
Steve. 
Fran, we're going to pivot over 

708
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,800
to the Geriacre C and let's get 
into what kind of ugly stuff is 

709
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,400
going on. 
Ryan, if you want to bring up, 

710
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,360
let's see what topic this is. 
I think it's topic #2 Congress 

711
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,480
is old folks. 
And interestingly enough, we're 

712
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,960
seeing here from the Pew 
Research Center that the House 

713
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,280
has got a little bit younger. 
It's relative, I'm going to tell

714
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,240
you that right up front. 
And the Senate got older. 

715
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,160
This is going to be a look at 
the age and generation of 

716
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,680
lawmakers in the 118th Congress,
which is where we are today. 

717
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,320
This article goes back to 
January of 2023. 

718
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,080
So we don't break news here. 
We want to make make the the 

719
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,760
understanding of the news 
available to you. 

720
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,920
And so when we look at this 
thing, it says the median voting

721
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,560
age of House lawmakers is 57.9 
years. 

722
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,960
And that's down one year 
essentially. 

723
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,840
So they are one year younger by 
median from the 117th Congress. 

724
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,720
And that we it was 58. 
So roughly the same as it was in

725
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,920
the 116th. 
It was just a slight uptick in 

726
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,560
117th and it's a little bit 
lower than 115. 

727
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,080
So they've been hovering around 
this 5859 year median voting age

728
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,800
for House lawmakers. 
We talked about the Senate, it's

729
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:32,080
on, it's on the way up and it is
65.3 years is the median there, 

730
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,840
65.3 years, the age of 
retirement for most people in 

731
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,840
America or at least used to be. 
And that is up a slight bit 

732
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,800
maybe 1/2 year from the 
previous, which was 64.8. 

733
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,960
So again, just roughly in that 
age bracket. 

734
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,400
But the Senate always tends to 
be a little bit older by about 

735
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,400
five years on on average what 
we're seeing here. 

736
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,880
So those are the median ages. 
And, you know, I don't know if 

737
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,160
that's a good thing or a bad 
thing. 

738
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,120
You've got some experience. 
There's definitely something 

739
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,040
there. 
However, the bad thing, I think,

740
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,240
in this country is that people 
stick around in these jobs 

741
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,880
forever. 
They stay there forever. 

742
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,400
We have lawmakers that have done
40 and 50 years. 

743
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,320
This is actually not that 
incredible at this point, but it

744
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,960
hasn't always been this way. 
If we'll pull up the the 

745
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,040
article, which is under topic #3
says, you know, essentially 

746
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,800
Congress is older than ever, but
it hasn't been this way. 

747
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,600
This is from NPR, folks. 
NPR sees this as a strange 

748
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,719
thing. 
This was written in November of 

749
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:29,040
last year, November of 2022, 
talking about how Chuck Grassley

750
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,320
is really old. 
He's going to be 95 when he's up

751
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,679
for, quote, UN quote, re 
election. 

752
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:35,000
If, if he makes it that far. 
And I think we have a little 

753
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,920
video that's going to show us 
that that's kind of crazy. 

754
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,080
The speaker of the House at that
point in time was Nancy Pelosi, 

755
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,600
who is 82. 
She's 83 or close to 83 right 

756
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,880
now. 
Senate Minority Leader Mitch 

757
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,760
McConnell, which is what this 
all sparked from. 

758
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,120
Many of us saw him do a hard 
reboot on national television, 

759
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,400
on live television. 
And that's pretty troubling to 

760
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,560
watch. 
So they're saying that 

761
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,920
essentially 25% of members of 
Congress on both houses are over

762
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,320
the age of 70 years old, one in 
four. 

763
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,160
The congressman is over 70. 
And I'm going to tell you why I 

764
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,520
think that's a problem. 
First, I want to pull up one of 

765
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,640
the videos. 
Let's do a video of Dianne 

766
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,560
Feinstein. 
This is going to be video #1 

767
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:10,760
Ryan, if you want to queue that 
sucker up. 

768
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,360
And what we're going to be 
seeing here is a hot mic of the 

769
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,800
aid sitting next to Feinstein 
talking. 

770
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,000
Let's just run it. 
I think it speaks for itself. 

771
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,280
And you want to roll, roll that 
video. 

772
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:27,320
Senator Feinstein. 
You say aye. 

773
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,720
Pardon me. 
Aye, Yeah. 

774
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,000
I, I would like to support a yes
vote on this. 

775
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:43,920
It provides 823 billion. 
That's an increase of 26 billion

776
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:49,800
for the Department of Defense 
and it funds priorities 

777
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,400
submitted. 
Yeah, just say aye. 

778
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,200
OK. 
Just aye. 

779
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,600
Thank you. 
That is really hard to watch for

780
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,800
some of us. 
So that was Dianne Feinstein, 

781
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,080
one of the oldest members of the
of the Senate. 

782
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,800
And she's being told over and 
over again that the thing that 

783
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,520
she is doing right now is 
voting. 

784
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,000
And that comes in the form of 
either an aye or a nay. 

785
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,280
That's how it goes. 
They've already given the 

786
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,520
speeches. 
They've already given the 

787
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,040
support. 
They've already spoken out. 

788
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,200
She had it written on her paper.
She could not pivot to what was 

789
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,960
being asked of her and therefore
she wanted to read her 

790
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,040
statement. 
Maybe again, I'd, I'd love to 

791
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,560
see if she wrote that, read that
for a second time. 

792
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,680
The thing that went viral was 
the fact that there's people 

793
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,120
next to her just telling her 
what to do. 

794
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,520
And she can't even take that 
direction because she's so 

795
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,600
confused about where she is 
because, you know, she's 

796
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,400
ancient. 
And, and that's the saddest 

797
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,720
thing about it for me. 
I think it's elderly abuse for 

798
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:48,080
me. 
I think it is abusive to the 

799
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,280
system. 
It's these people that cling on.

800
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,720
And, and, and this is not 
isolated with only people that 

801
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:56,080
are in Congress. 
There's a lot of people that 

802
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,320
cling to these federal jobs way 
longer than they ought to. 

803
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,280
I think Anthony Fauci is one of 
those people. 

804
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,760
They cannot let it go because 
it's the it's the identity that 

805
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,160
they have. 
And it also it gives them 

806
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,600
meaning in their life that they 
forgot to cultivate otherwise. 

807
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:10,160
And that's why I think that it's
so important. 

808
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,200
That's why I love the the, the 
stuff that Catholic vote says. 

809
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,800
Faith, family and freedom. 
What is it about? 

810
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,880
It's about those things. 
If you don't have faith, if you 

811
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,200
don't have family, who cares 
what you do with the rest of 

812
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,920
your time? 
You have nothing to to invest 

813
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,480
in. 
It's why I think that this 

814
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,160
country was built on families. 
It's built on the middle class 

815
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,720
dream. 
The American dream is basically 

816
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:30,240
finding a spouse, making 
children for the next 

817
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:33,640
generation, creating a home 
where you can raise them that is

818
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,200
safe. 
The white picket fence is all 

819
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,600
that that tells you about good 
and orderly homes. 

820
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,600
You know, you can look at a 
fence often times and decide a 

821
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,200
lot about what the house is 
that's going on. 

822
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,600
You can look at the exterior of 
the house and know what it looks

823
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,000
like on the inside. 
Not every time, but you know, 

824
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,680
judging a book by its cover. 
But many times you can drive up 

825
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,240
to a house, look at the yard, 
look at what's going on in it, 

826
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:54,840
and you can have a pretty good 
idea of how ordered or 

827
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,840
disordered that household is. 
And in the same way, we're 

828
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,920
seeing these people that have 
basically forgotten to tend the 

829
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:02,520
garden, have forgotten to mow 
the lawn, have forgotten to take

830
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,440
care of the external house. 
And now they're sitting at 

831
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,800
almost 90 years old or older. 
And they're sitting there in 

832
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,560
front of Congress having young 
people tell them what to do. 

833
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:14,000
They are a figurehead and they 
are holding the spot and they 

834
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,240
have no reason to be there. 
We had in the chat just a second

835
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:19,640
ago Glitch McConnell with a 
rumble rant. 

836
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,440
So very funny and love that. 
I think that's a, that's a 

837
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,080
reasonable trend. 
I'm looking at this this, this 

838
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,120
web page called Fiscal Note, 
which I don't know if we put 

839
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,360
that up here or not. 
In fact, we did. 

840
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,600
It's topic #4 you can pull up 
Fiscal Note and it's also 

841
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,480
talking about the age of members
of Congress. 

842
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,920
There's some pretty interesting 
graphics. 

843
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:39,440
And what it says is that we have
a very, very small number, the 

844
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,360
two smallest numbers in the 
House. 

845
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,120
In fact, the actual smallest 
distribution in the Senate is 30

846
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,120
to 39. 
And those are almost half as 

847
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,920
many as the people that are over
the age of 80. 

848
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,000
That should absolutely be the 
strangest and least likely thing

849
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,080
that you ever find. 
The senator from Iowa, 89 years 

850
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,880
old, Dianne Feinstein, 89 years 
old, Vermont, Bernie Sanders, 81

851
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,040
years old. 
He's still out there, by the 

852
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,840
way, Bernie Sanders, Kentucky, 
Mitch McConnell, 80 years old. 

853
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,640
And I'm happy to dish it out to 
either side. 

854
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,120
I don't care if you're an 
independent, a Republican or a 

855
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,840
Democrat. 
If you were 80 years old, what 

856
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,400
in the in the world are you 
doing there? 

857
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,320
You know, and, and the sad thing
was, is that Ryan and I were 

858
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,760
having this conversation 
earlier. 

859
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,360
We were talking about the idea 
that if, if you're over that age

860
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,120
and you hear these people talk 
all the time, they were like my 

861
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,440
grandmother made it to 90 years 
old or 96 years old. 

862
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,640
And she was still sharp as a 
whip and she was spot on. 

863
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,600
And the answer is always the 
same. 

864
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,800
Yes, compared to people her age,
but not compared to a 25 year 

865
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,160
old or a 35 year old or somebody
that is in the prime of what 

866
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,720
they're doing. 
There's a reason why none of the

867
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:46,920
best math, you know, best 
mathematicians in the world are 

868
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,440
cracking, cracking the the 
secrets to the universe in their

869
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,920
90s. 
And it's not because they're not

870
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,760
smart. 
It's because we actually have a 

871
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,480
scientifically proven cognitive 
decline that happens after the 

872
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,720
age of 70. 
That's kind of the age of 

873
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:01,000
consensus. 
So we'll get into that in just a

874
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,560
second here. 
But it makes me really sad that 

875
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,680
we've given this country over to
people that I, what I like to 

876
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,800
say is that their biological 
imperative is not there. 

877
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,560
They don't have young that they 
are trying to protect and 

878
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,280
cultivate this country better 
for. 

879
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,680
And that's why I think that we 
need to have. 

880
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,160
I don't care about term limits 
nearly as much as I care about 

881
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,000
age limits on the upper end. 
There is a time when you no 

882
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,880
longer have skin in the game. 
And for the person themselves, 

883
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,360
if you don't have the 
wherewithal to walk away from 

884
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,840
the game of politics when you 
are at 70 years old and enjoy 

885
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,680
what's out there in the world, 
become an older statesman, 

886
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,000
become a font of of knowledge 
and wisdom. 

887
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,680
Give speeches if that's what you
really want to do. 

888
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,400
If you still want to be involved
in the game, you know, step out 

889
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,560
of it and help the people that 
are younger understand, become a

890
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,440
professor emeritus somewhere. 
Give lectures. 

891
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,440
I don't care. 
Share that experience in a way 

892
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,960
that's meaningful. 
Get off the front lines of the 

893
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,400
the horrific back and forth to 
congressional districts, the 

894
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,320
flying around. 
Like all of that has to degrade 

895
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,120
you and it doesn't sound like 
it's good for your family. 

896
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:01,920
And that makes it bad for the 
rest of America. 

897
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,440
If it's bad for your family and 
it's bad for your for your 

898
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,440
livelihood as a human being, you
are, you are literally just 

899
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,760
holding on for dear life to 
something that made you 

900
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,200
relevant. 
And these people, they need to 

901
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:12,360
cultivate their lives outside of
it. 

902
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,200
It's bizarre. 
I just wish they would change 

903
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,440
that. 
I don't want to be ruled by 

904
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,360
people who are over the age of 
70. 

905
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,240
And right now we definitely are.
Let me look at our next piece 

906
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:23,560
here topic #5 what do we have 
here? 

907
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:24,480
That was the oldest. 
Oh, yeah. 

908
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,920
So this is a great article. 
This comes from oldest.org, by 

909
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,840
the way. 
Very interesting. 

910
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:32,240
I'm going to read you the oldest
members in the US Congress as 

911
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:34,280
updated in 2023. 
OK. 

912
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,360
And here it is the the 10th 
oldest is Danny K Davis. 

913
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:44,680
He was born in 1941. 
He's been serving since January 

914
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:50,520
of 97, OK. 
And he's a Democrat #9 Jim 

915
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,320
Clyburn. 
He's been serving since January 

916
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,280
of 93. 
He's 82 years, almost 83 years 

917
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:02,160
old, OK, born in 1940. 
Then we've got Nancy Pelosi. 

918
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,080
We all know she's been serving 
since 1987. 

919
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,320
OK, so she's slightly young and 
she's actually older than those 

920
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,840
two, or she's 82, almost 83 
years old in this thing and 

921
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,480
serving since 87. 
She's been there forever. 

922
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,680
My dad had a really great story,
by the way. 

923
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,840
The other day we were talking on
the phone and my dad tells me 

924
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,880
that she used to call into the 
radio station because he used to

925
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,440
run a large news station in the,
the Bay Area where she first, 

926
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,560
you know, she's been a a 
representative there for a very 

927
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,000
long time. 
And they would, she would call 

928
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,960
in to make some sort of partisan
statement and they would just 

929
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,080
not turn on the recorder. 
And so she would just ramble 

930
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,360
into the phone and they say 
thanks so much. 

931
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,440
And then they hang up and they'd
never play it, which is kind of 

932
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,760
funny stuff. 
Steny Hoyer #7, born in 1939, 

933
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,920
older than any of these, yet 
elected in 1981. 

934
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:47,960
He has been in in Congress since
before I was born, representing 

935
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,480
the state of Maryland as a 
Democrat. 

936
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,200
Maxine Waters, we know her, been
in since 91. 

937
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,120
She's almost 85 years old. 
Hal Rogers, never heard this 

938
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,000
name. 
Obviously, he's a Republican, 

939
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,520
but he's from Kentucky, kind of 
one of the guys who's flying on 

940
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,840
the back burner. 
Also been in since 81, and he's 

941
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,200
85 years old. 
I just want you to have it in 

942
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,880
your head. 
He was born in 1937. 

943
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,960
Just think about this. 
This guy for, you know, might be

944
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,200
sharp as a tack for a guy who's 
in his 80s, but is he sharp as 

945
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,720
attack as a guy like Matt Gaetz,
who's out there running it down?

946
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:23,120
Like, maybe This is why we're 
seeing such weak hearings. 

947
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,560
And we do have a video to show 
some of that. 

948
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,680
We've got a Democrat here from 
New Jersey. 

949
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:28,840
I don't know how to pronounce 
his last name. 

950
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,840
Bill Pascrell looks like, and 
he's was born in 1937. 

951
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,160
He's 86. 
And we're just getting older and

952
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,280
older. 
Grace Napolitano, California 

953
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,720
Democrat, elected in 99, still 
going 23 years later, 24 years 

954
00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:43,640
later. 
Chuck Grassley elected in 

955
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,480
January of 81 and he started in 
the House of Representative in 

956
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:52,880
1975, S since 1975 and he's 
almost 90 years old. 89 and 

957
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:53,880
change. 
All right. 

958
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,640
And then the number one, oldest 
one is Dianne Feinstein, who we 

959
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,200
just heard in that video. 
Brian, if you'll run, because 

960
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,320
we're equal opportunity here, if
you'll run the video that I've 

961
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,760
got set up. 
And that is going to be the the 

962
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,240
McConnell video. 
I think this is the thing that 

963
00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:07,920
kicked it all off. 
It's video #2 folks just watch 

964
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,480
this and you tell me if this is 
OK. 

965
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,120
If this is the people that you 
think should be running our 

966
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:16,880
country, go ahead and run that. 
Bars and cooperation and a 

967
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:26,640
string of. 
That dead air is a video showing

968
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:27,920
Mitch McConnell with his mouth 
closed. 

969
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,040
If you're listening right now, 
he's just swaying at a podium, 

970
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:43,800
OK? 
Mitch, anything else you want to

971
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:44,080
say? 
I'm sure. 

972
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,440
Let's go back to Do you want to 
say anything else to the press? 

973
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,640
And now he just sort of waddles 
off and they're very, you know, 

974
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,000
you should be concerned about 
this. 

975
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,320
This is the the same situation 
that you would find out if 

976
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,400
somebody had just literally 
collapsed on camera. 

977
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:01,880
I found, I found some videos of 
that. 

978
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,040
There was a governor that did 
that in in Minnesota five years 

979
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:09,040
ago, was talking, was slurring, 
got more and more confused and 

980
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,080
then just fell at the podium. 
So that's a possibility that can

981
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,800
happen. 
In this case, the likelihood of 

982
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,920
like ATIA or a transischemic 
attack, which is like what 

983
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,320
people always call a mini 
stroke, but it's a it's when 

984
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,240
blood is blocked to a certain 
part of your brain. 

985
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,760
I made a comment the other day 
on a Twitter space and I think 

986
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,840
it holds true the when you have 
people that are over the age of 

987
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,040
70 and some of these people do 
not look like they are in, in 

988
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,480
great health. 
I always kind of brag about my 

989
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,840
dad. 
I feel like it's an 80s claim to

990
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,840
say like my dad could beat up 
your dad, but I think my dad 

991
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:37,840
could beat up many of your 
dad's. 

992
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,880
That's so Charlie, if you're 
listening, I, I, I have so much 

993
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,680
respect for my dad's physicality
at the age that he's at. 

994
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,040
But my dad doesn't need to be, 
you know, fighting people in 

995
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,440
their 40s. 
He goes out and fights brambles 

996
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,960
and bushes and he's, and he's 
incredibly tough and he goes out

997
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,040
and runs a chainsaw for 8 hours 
in the desert and I don't even 

998
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:55,080
see him bring water out with 
him. 

999
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,760
A madman in many ways. 
But you look at these guys and 

1000
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,880
they've been indoor dogs for as 
long as they have and they're, 

1001
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,240
they're shiny skinned and 
they're, they're, you know, 

1002
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:06,120
unexposed to the exterior. 
And they're not doing hard work 

1003
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,400
like men historically did. 
And I'm specifically talking 

1004
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,440
about men here. 
But we had the same situation 

1005
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,760
happen with Dianne Feinstein 
where she had a catastrophic 

1006
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,520
accident of some kind. 
And we see her in a wheelchair 

1007
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,720
walling around. 
She looks, she looks just 

1008
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:20,560
absolutely destroyed as a human 
being. 

1009
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,320
She's just wrecked. 
And, and so some of these people

1010
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:29,440
are 2030mm of Mercury away from 
not being on the planet. 

1011
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,520
If you don't know how we measure
blood pressure, that would be a,

1012
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:33,760
a difficult thing for you to 
understand. 

1013
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,480
But you know, you hear like, 
what's a good blood pressure 120

1014
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,200
/ 80? 
And, and that means those are 

1015
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,360
120mm of Mercury. 
It's a, it's a, a measure, a 

1016
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,200
measure of pressure. 
You, you break it outside of 

1017
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,000
their normal range, 2030mm of 
Mercury. 

1018
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,600
And we could have a what would 
called either a hemorrhagic 

1019
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,840
stroke or, you know, they start 
stroking out somewhere else and 

1020
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:54,800
blood doesn't get up to the 
brain. 

1021
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,840
You can break a blood vessel and
that would be the end of them. 

1022
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,960
And all of our our systems are 
weaker and less capable at the 

1023
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,280
ages over 70. 
So I'm going to bring up this 

1024
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,000
next this next article. 
It's a scientific article 

1025
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,080
written at the National 
Institute of Health. 

1026
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,280
It's topic number six, if you 
would. 

1027
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,760
And this is the impact of the 
age on cognition. 

1028
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,800
Yeah. 
Step it back. 

1029
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,280
Just one step. 
Step 2nd for me, if you would, 

1030
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,520
Ryan, the, the, the age piece 
there. 

1031
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,360
So there's the scientific 
articles that have been written 

1032
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,280
for a long time. 
This one was dated in 2015 that 

1033
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,880
I'm looking at and we'll bring 
it up at some point here, but it

1034
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,080
doesn't matter too much. 
There's, there's this change 

1035
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,920
that happens at about 50 years 
of age. 

1036
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,560
And what they were doing is they
were measuring crystallized 

1037
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,400
abilities, which is known as 
vocabulary and then fluid 

1038
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,520
abilities like your basic raw 
processing speed. 

1039
00:47:40,720 --> 00:47:44,440
And those things change at about
50 years old on the average. 

1040
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,920
So crystallized abilities like 
vocabulary starts going hot. 

1041
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,840
There it is. 
Goes a little bit further north 

1042
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,320
of the of the curve before 50 
and it kind of tops and kind of 

1043
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,080
breaks out. 
So the ability to speak certain 

1044
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:00,960
words and, and have a, a larger 
vocabulary kind of peaks in the 

1045
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,880
mid 40s and then kind of flat 
lines. 

1046
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,560
But the ability to process 
information peaks in the 20s and

1047
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,240
slowly, slowly, slowly declines 
to an average of about 55 years 

1048
00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:16,360
old and drops precipitously 
between 60 and 70 years old. 

1049
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,840
And at 80, it is in a, in a free
fall going at least one standard

1050
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,720
deviation below the mean. 
So that's what this particular 

1051
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:24,200
graph was showing. 
That's what I'm looking at here.

1052
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:25,600
These scientific studies are 
being done. 

1053
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,080
They're aggregate studies. 
They are large and large form 

1054
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,320
studies to try to get an idea of
when does that happen and why 

1055
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,240
does it happen? 
And so the next article that 

1056
00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:36,520
comes up here, which I think we 
have underneath a cognitive 

1057
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:42,520
decline maybe topic #9 it, it, 
there's all these little like 

1058
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,400
aggregate study. 
So they grab all these pieces 

1059
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,320
that's perfect right there. 
And what this one that comes 

1060
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,240
from what you're seeing on the 
screen right now comes from one.

1061
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,800
When does age-related cognitive 
decline begin? 

1062
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,880
So there's this question about 
when do we stop having it? 

1063
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,760
It's a 2010 study. 
So again, not new, but it's 

1064
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:00,120
multiple studies from O2, from 
1988, from 1985, from 2005, from

1065
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,880
1989. 
All these studies come together.

1066
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:02,960
I'm going to read you a couple 
of quotes. 

1067
00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:07,000
Cognitive decline may begin 
after midlife, but most often 

1068
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,240
occurs at higher ages 70 or 
more. 

1069
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,840
Relative decline in performance 
occurs in people until they are 

1070
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,560
about 50 years old. 
There's another thing here 

1071
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,320
saying cognitive abilities 
generally remain stable 

1072
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,400
throughout the adult life until 
about 60 years old. 

1073
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,080
There's little or no drop off in
performance before age 55. 

1074
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:26,040
There's a reason why we retire 
when we do. 

1075
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:28,920
Some of it is because people 
have been able to hopefully work

1076
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,040
long enough to put money away. 
And the other reason is because 

1077
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,440
you are going to be run circles 
around by younger people in very

1078
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,120
high performing and demanding 
jobs. 

1079
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,440
And I would imagine being in 
charge of Congress has to be one

1080
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,640
of those things. 
Last little quote here from 89. 

1081
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,960
This study says most abilities 
tend to peak early in midlife. 

1082
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:49,520
They plateau until the late 50s 
or 60s and then show decline 

1083
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,000
initially at a slow place, but 
the accelerating as late as the 

1084
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,680
late 70s are reached. 
So all these people that we are 

1085
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,800
seeing that are falling apart 
and they are falling apart, 

1086
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,240
there's no question about it. 
They're falling apart because of

1087
00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:03,800
a natural progression of 
reduction in white matter, which

1088
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,520
starts happening around 70 years
old. 

1089
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,640
And it's nothing against them. 
I don't, I don't have any beef. 

1090
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,040
Again, it's not a personal 
attack to cite that biology 

1091
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,640
exists in the same way it's not 
a personal attack to say that 

1092
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,040
you could be a man or a woman. 
I just, it's, it's so bizarre. 

1093
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:18,920
If you'll play the, the video 
here, which was, let's see, I 

1094
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,520
think it is video #3 this is 
Mitch McConnell. 

1095
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,120
I just want you to focus on not 
Mitch McConnell, Rather, this is

1096
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,080
this is Chuck Grassley. 
Look at what he's doing and then

1097
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:29,960
consider the way Matt Gaist 
handles things. 

1098
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,760
If you want to roll that video 
right now, just watch his eyes. 

1099
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,680
He's staring directly at a piece
of paper, and he's reading it 

1100
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,360
verbatim. 
First question is a follow up to

1101
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,880
a line of questioning you had 
with Senator Cotton. 

1102
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,280
You told this committee that, 
quote, the executive branch 

1103
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:47,240
cannot simply decide based on 
policy disagreements that it 

1104
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:49,640
will not enforce a law at all, 
end of quote. 

1105
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:56,280
Then you released a December 
16th, 22 memo instructing 

1106
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,920
prosecutors to disregard the law
that established sentencing 

1107
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:03,080
differences between cocaine and 
cocaine base. 

1108
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,320
Your decision not to enforce the
law ended congressional 

1109
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,800
discussions at that particular 
point for a compromise. 

1110
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:17,680
If a DOG claims that it will 
ignore the law by declining to 

1111
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:22,160
prosecute a law that grew out of
a bipartisan compromise forged 

1112
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:26,480
in this committee, it's hard to 
see how members can trust the 

1113
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,720
department about following any 
further bipartisan deals. 

1114
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,720
So I'm going to ask you, would 
you withdraw your memo so that a

1115
00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:38,440
meaningful legislative 
discussion can resuming if you 

1116
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,560
don't have a a agreement with 
me, why wouldn't you do that? 

1117
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,280
So there you go. 
He finally looks up after he 

1118
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:49,840
asked his question. 
That's all we've got. 

1119
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,320
I see you in the chat. 
Are are are getting rowdy about 

1120
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:53,600
whether or not you love Chuck 
Grassley. 

1121
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:54,880
I don't care if you love Chuck 
Grassley. 

1122
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,680
I don't want a 90 year old man 
from any party being out there. 

1123
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,320
He's in the he's in the seat. 
He's not going anywhere. 

1124
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:01,440
He's going to be there for 
years. 

1125
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,600
We need to stop electing people 
that are this old, whether they 

1126
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,600
you think they're sharp or not, 
whether you think they're on our

1127
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,120
team or not. 
This has to be a bipartisan 

1128
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,640
discussion and here's why. 
So we've got a graph up right 

1129
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:11,960
now. 
I also hear that we have over 

1130
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,200
700 people that are watching in 
the live chat right now. 

1131
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,400
So please, if you're sitting in 
there, hit that thumbs up, hit 

1132
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,680
that. 
Like that should turn green on 

1133
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,840
Rumble and that it moves our 
videos up in the ranking, which 

1134
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,480
we really do appreciate. 
So this graph right now shows us

1135
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,240
going back to 1950, maybe a 
little bit before 1950 and it 

1136
00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:29,280
shows us the average age of 
members of Congress. 

1137
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,000
And this is going to be relevant
for a reason. 

1138
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,680
The younger it is, the better 
off we are able to tackle the 

1139
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,000
problems we have. 
Like what we're looking at in 

1140
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,080
our country right now. 
We have maximum inflation. 

1141
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,360
We are watching the interest 
rates going up to a level that 

1142
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,120
are going to be probably 
clearing 8% for home loans. 

1143
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:48,120
We have these inflated property 
prices where houses cost 150% 

1144
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,000
more than they did just a couple
of years ago. 

1145
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:51,840
It is pricing people out of the 
market. 

1146
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,360
And we've done this all before. 
We did this in the in the 80s 

1147
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,080
when Reagan came in. 
So if you're looking at the 

1148
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,280
graph on the screen, what you're
seeing is that the average age 

1149
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:02,080
of Republicans, Democrats, 
hovered in the mid 50s starting 

1150
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,760
in 1947. 
It started slightly climbing and

1151
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:11,000
it actually started declining in
the early 60s and it went down 

1152
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,480
and down and it continued to 
decline post JFK all the way to 

1153
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,840
Reagan where we had 1980, the 
lowest number where we had the 

1154
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,720
average age of Republicans in 
Congress was below 50 years old.

1155
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:24,920
It looks like it's about 48 on 
the graph and the members of 

1156
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,760
Democrats were only 50 or 51. 
Same story. 

1157
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,600
Since that time, there's been a 
basically a straight line 

1158
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,400
climbing upwards. 
It continues to climb up to 

1159
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,360
where we have this, this over 60
years and over 55 years old. 

1160
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,800
And, and this only it goes up to
202,013 in this particular 

1161
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,720
graph. 
OK, so we're talking about a 

1162
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,560
seven years ago, actually that's
10 years old now. 

1163
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,160
And that data continued to 
climb. 

1164
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,480
We are now over 58 years old. 
And one, as we said in over 65 

1165
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,840
and the other the IT is not a 
good sign of health. 

1166
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,280
And you can look at the way 
things looked in the early 80s 

1167
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,840
and the way that we were able to
take reforms and bite the bullet

1168
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,040
and handle things. 
When you have young people that 

1169
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,640
are in office, they can be bold.
And when you have old people, 

1170
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,440
they cannot be because old 
people are by their very nature,

1171
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,960
like they have to be a little 
bit more cautious. 

1172
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,560
Everything is more dangerous. 
Look at our president, Joe Biden

1173
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,800
falling over a sandbag. 
The man is threatened by wind, 

1174
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,640
stairs, sandbags. 
You know, anybody could fall 

1175
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,080
over. 
But the difference for him and 

1176
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,360
us, him falling over on a 
bicycle could end his life. 

1177
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:26,320
We have to be very clear about 
that. 

1178
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:27,960
That is not a position of 
strength. 

1179
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:29,520
And I don't care what party he's
in. 

1180
00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:31,840
I'm not real crazy about anybody
that age. 

1181
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,960
And that includes Donald Trump, 
although he seems awfully much 

1182
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:36,920
more virile than he was. 
Listen to him in the 90's. 

1183
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:38,920
The guy is much sharper in the 
90s. 

1184
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,080
So that's a tough line for us to
look at. 

1185
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,480
And it doesn't matter if you 
love Trump, if you, if you hate 

1186
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,680
Biden, that you know, they're 
both in that senior category. 

1187
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,040
And there's a reason why we 
don't do that. 

1188
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:49,560
I'm going to have one more thing
pop up here. 

1189
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,240
Let me look at what number we 
had the the age of the founding 

1190
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:55,200
fathers. 
If you go to topic #10 there is 

1191
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,840
a an interesting website 
calledteachingamericanhistory.org.

1192
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,320
In 1787 during the 
Constitutional Convention, the 

1193
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,680
Constitutional Convention was 
held in Philadelphia. 

1194
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:11,800
The average age of the delegates
was 42 years old. 42 years old 

1195
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,360
was the average age. 
Now they had a couple of people 

1196
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,040
that were outside of that span, 
but they were delegates there in

1197
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,160
their 20's. 
The delegates from New Jersey, 

1198
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,800
Maryland, North Carolina and 
South Carolina were all between 

1199
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:26,000
the ages of 26 and 29 years old.
OK, that's pretty relevant. 

1200
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,960
You had people that were in 
their 30s, which was a big block

1201
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,160
of it, and a huge block of it in
their 40's. 

1202
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,000
The number of people that were 
over 50 was like 1/3 or less. 

1203
00:55:35,240 --> 00:55:39,760
We had people like Benjamin 
Franklin and Roger Sherman. 

1204
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,720
These guys were in their 
advanced age, but Benjamin 

1205
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:45,800
Franklin actually dragged that 
number up dramatically. 

1206
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,640
OK. 
He dragged it up so high because

1207
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,880
he was 81 years old and the next
oldest person was 66. 

1208
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,760
Those were the two oldest people
at the Constitutional Convention

1209
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,200
that broke away and created the 
document that we live under 

1210
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,760
today. 
I think it's really, really 

1211
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,760
important to note that most of 
people that were signing that 

1212
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,440
document were under the age of 
50. 

1213
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,680
And the number of people that 
were even in their 50s is the 

1214
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,400
bulk of the people that were 
over 50. 

1215
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,680
We had less than, I can count 
them out right now, 12345. 

1216
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,480
There were eight people at the 
constitutional convention that 

1217
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,080
were over the age of 60. 
OK, eight people. 

1218
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,160
So that should tell you 
something about the age of 

1219
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:24,880
boldness. 
And the age of boldness is 

1220
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,320
significantly younger than what 
we're seeing right now. 

1221
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,240
It bothers me. 
And then you end up with people 

1222
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:31,160
that are trying to defend a 
legacy because they don't have 

1223
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,000
enough time in their in their 
bucket that their legacy is 

1224
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,040
going to be this political 
thing. 

1225
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,720
That's why we have people like 
Korean Kareem Jean Pierre out 

1226
00:56:37,720 --> 00:56:39,520
there lying to us about how 
everything is better off. 

1227
00:56:39,720 --> 00:56:41,400
We had some other stuff on here.
I have some other videos. 

1228
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,240
We've got Maddie Hassan who's 
out there trying to say that the

1229
00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:46,640
Biden economy is brilliant and 
amazing with a cherry pick 

1230
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:47,800
facts. 
They have to lie. 

1231
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,840
That's what all politicians need
to do in order to sell you the 

1232
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,400
bill of goods, that they are the
best. 

1233
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,280
But the real problem for me is 
that they are selling you a bill

1234
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,560
of goods because they don't have
any other time to live out their

1235
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,800
days in something like this is 
the last hurrah and their last 

1236
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,040
hurrah, sadly enough, is in 
politics. 

1237
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,880
Geriacrecy is real. 
We need to all agree that this 

1238
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,120
is not the people we need 
leading and let these people go 

1239
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,000
home and live their golden years
in places where they can be the 

1240
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:12,480
senior statesman that used to 
exist. 

1241
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,440
They can be advisory only and 
that would be fantastic. 

1242
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,880
So consider this, the expiration
date is 2024. 

1243
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,000
It's actually going to end up 
being 2026 for the Senate race. 

1244
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,000
We're going to have the primary,
some of these people that have 

1245
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,640
been in there and anybody who 
comes out like John Corning did 

1246
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,440
and say that Mitch McConnell is 
sharp as a tack and he's good to

1247
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,080
go when he had a hard reboot, a 
control alt delete moment on 

1248
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,880
national television. 
I don't know what they're 

1249
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,320
thinking, but I'm not OK with 
it. 

1250
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,280
I'm not OK with these people 
running the most powerful 

1251
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,240
Republic that's ever existed. 
And they're a reason why we are 

1252
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,360
declining right now, I think as 
they cognitively decline. 

1253
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,440
Sad enough. 
All right, that's enough on the 

1254
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,240
rant. 
Let me let me pivot over here 

1255
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,240
and just say some thank you's. 
First of all, thank you for 

1256
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:51,600
joining us today. 
If you've been doing it. 

1257
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,920
We we stream this show live 
Monday, Wednesday and Friday 

1258
00:57:55,640 --> 00:58:01,520
from Liberty Hill, TX. 
We are the most quoted podcast 

1259
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,520
by congressional Democrats, 
including those who think that 

1260
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,520
we are so-called whistleblowers 
in this session of Congress, the

1261
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:06,840
118th. 
And we are the most watched 

1262
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:08,400
podcast by the FBI security 
division. 

1263
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:09,880
So thanks for making us all 
those things. 

1264
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,160
Thanks for listening to us. 
It scares them and we do 

1265
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,760
appreciate it. 
If you're watching this video, 

1266
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,400
like I said, Scroll down, hit 
that thumbs up until it says 

1267
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,520
it's green. 
We saw some plenty of faces in 

1268
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,680
the chat today that are going 
after saw Van Halen. 

1269
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,880
I haven't seen you before. 
So welcome to the chat and we do

1270
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,040
appreciate it. 
A couple of familiar faces out 

1271
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:27,440
there, folks. 
We don't have to agree on 

1272
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,800
everything, but we should look 
at the problem set and be honest

1273
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:31,960
about it. 
And sometimes we are encouraging

1274
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,760
those that we like even though 
they're in the problem set. 

1275
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,800
All right, lastly, if you're 
listening on audio and you want

And we want to say we thank 
because these five star reviews

We're now well over of 615. 

1286
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,600
And so the five star review from
today comes from our very own 

1287
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:06,520
moderator, Eric Jason, a podcast
on fire five star review. 

1288
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,280
Anyone who's been watching the 
show can see and hear the 

1289
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,840
difference that Ryan Mattis 
efforts are making 100% that is 

1290
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:13,600
the case. 
Thanks so much to Ryan. 

1291
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,000
The video plays interrupted. 
We have different angles and 

1292
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,880
headshots to give the the show a
unique look and perspective and 

1293
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,200
it makes you feel as if Kyle is 
speaking directly to you. 

1294
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:23,760
Eric, I do feel like I'm 
speaking directly to you my 

1295
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,520
friend. 
The audio quality is better, it 

1296
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,400
plays louder, it's smooth and 0 
lag. 

1297
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,040
A big shout out and thanks to 
Casey Seraphin who's got the 

1298
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,280
intro music. 
We all love the sound and it 

1299
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,280
pumps us up to get ready for the
showdown. 

1300
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,040
You've single handedly given the
suspendables our very own warm 

1301
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,200
up music. 
This entire show is made for us.

1302
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,160
Thank you Kyle, Casey and Ryan. 
Thank you Eric. 

1303
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:43,440
We do appreciate you sitting in 
there. 

1304

I I look for your face every 
morning. 

1305
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,200
We'd be concerned if you weren't
there, so add your five star 

1306
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,240
