Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, an
American patriot prepared to embrace the uncomfortable truth.
Because this program has no time for comforting lies.
Here is civil liberties enthusiast, Second Amendment
defender, and recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraphim.
Hello my friends. Welcome to the Kyle Seraphin
show. It's Friday, so you know it's
friendly. Friday.
We're going to be bringing on Steve friend in a short period
of time. Here our buddy who is the fellow
for the Center for Renewing America, and we're going to be
talking about the geriocracy. What is a geriocracy?
Geriatrics is the science of the health of old people.
Most callously stated as I can do it as a younger person,
somewhat younger I guess. And we're going to get into the
fact that maybe we are being ruled by the oldest rule of the
agent. It used to be that there was a a
rule of ages. I think now we are we are
dealing with something where the maybe the least fit are the ones
that are in charge. And that's not going to surprise
any of you. But there is an interesting
trend there and I think Americans should know about who
it is that they are electing. Before we get into bringing
Steve on, I want to say thank you to our sponsors and most
specifically, I want to say thanks to Catholic Vote.
Check this out. Got my Catholic vote mug sitting
right next to me. They sent me a couple of these
for when we do interviews in person and we're really
grateful. Check out the Loop.
This is the Loop cast right here.
This is their e-mail chain. You can pull that sucker up.
Very easy for you to get on board with it.
They've got some great articles in there Today.
I went and looked at them. In fact, it would have made for
a great show. They're talking about Tommy
Tuberville holding the line. They're talking about the FBI
producing some documentation to the weaponization committee and
Jim Jordan. Actually, I think they're doing
it specifically to the Judiciary Committee, so the broader
committee about going after Catholics in the Richmond
division. Apparently there's been a
production of like 266 pages of evidence from the FBI under
subpoena. So that's fantastic news.
Couple other things about the school boards going on in
Virginia and so on. So check out the loop.
Just enter in your e-mail and your zip code, sign up for that
thing. They just crossed the the
barrier of 500,000 subscribers. And while you're doing that, you
can make sure that you're subscribed to our channel.
If you're not subscribed on Apple, Spotify, iHeartRadio,
wherever you're listening to the audio podcast, then make sure
you are also subscribed to rumble.com/kyle Serafin where
the live video goes out on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
We'll also say thanks to Patriot Coolers real quick.
Let me bring them up here. You all know them.
I've got my cooler right next to me.
I've got my Tumblr sitting next to me and goes out and I abuse
it in the garage gym every morning.
Use promo code Kyle, Kyle combo code Kyle gets you 10% off.
There's free shipping over 50 bucks.
And as you can see here, they've given back.
If you're watching on the Rumble channel, you're seeing that
their donation is topped $370,000.
I'm sure that that needs to be updated soon because they
continue to to make those donations if they're helping
veterans who need mobility issues in their homes.
And I carry one right here sitting right next to me.
This one has my smoothie in it because my wife doesn't like it.
If I don't have some calories in the morning, I get grouchy.
That's how it goes. I got you guys in the chat that
are giving me a hard time because I haven't sent Ryan one
of these. It's pending.
We'll work on it. I just, I keep forgetting and
Ryan doesn't bother me during the day about it.
It only happens right before the show that I think Ryan needs a
Patriot cooler too. Again, promo code Kyle.
Kyle promo code Kyle gets you 10% off.
Spend 50 bucks, you get free shipping.
Easy stuff. Let's let's kick this thing off.
Ryan is not going to be talking during the show because right
now he is living in a construction zone.
Every time he brings it up, you can hear the the backing of
heavy vehicles and jackhammers. So we're going to bring on the
real Steve friend, our friend, author, former FBI agent,
suspendable and Center for Renewing America fellow.
Let's get that muted, that mic unmuted.
And if you're not looking on the Rumble channel, what you were
missing is that there's the butt end of a scorpion that Steve
Frant is wearing on a shirt. Steve, are you muted?
Are you? Are you bringing it?
To him. There you are.
That was a silent laugh that was like a like a like an internal
chuckle I just saw then. I, I mean, I'm trying to be
professional. I'm letting you run the show
here on the Kyle Seraphin show. If it said the real Steve French
show then I would just let her RIP.
And you would be having your mom write all the ghostwritten
reviews. Exactly.
I've met. That's my my plan.
I just fumble out this morning. I'm gonna have her write some
five star reviews and compliment me on my Scorpion shirts and
then pump us up for the weekend, which I make is extremely
excited for. Sunday is National Whistleblower
Day, right? So we need to commemorate that
with some sort of suspendables merch or flag or something like
that. Then maybe the FBI can fly
proudly outside all of its facilities for the month of July
the remaining couple days. We are going to be doing a
little whistleblower celebration, which is a clip
that I grabbed from Tom Elliot. And if those of you watch Dan
Bongino show, then you'll recognize this clip or actually
you're gonna play the full thing.
I'll break it up since it more or less deals with both of us.
Before we got on the show here, we were talking about vinegar
runes. You've never seen a vinegar
rune, is that correct? No, this is a foreign creature.
To me, that sounds like something that belongs in a
monster movie. All right, folks, so it's
friendly Friday. We can go a little bit off topic
for a second here. If you've never been to the the
brilliant, the beautiful state of New Mexico known as the Land
of Enchantment. But some of us know it is the
land of entrapment, but especially if you're a young man
that moves there, you're likely to come out with like a female
attached to you just said that was that was the briefing I got
when I was in the Air Force. So they have these monsters.
My my wife and I used to actually call it monster season
in April. Do you have monster season in
Florida? I I don't think you.
Do yeah. It's called Hurricane.
Season. OK, those are different.
Yeah. That's winds.
Monsters. Winds.
I'm talking about critters. And so you would walk outside
and there'd be like a, you know, tarantula the size of your palm
just walking around. I once saw tarantula up in my
belfry 'cause we had like this big entryway.
You walk in and it was like, you know, 25 feet up and it looked
like the tarantula was humping something, but it was eating a
bat, a small bat, like the size of, you know, like a bigger than
a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball.
It ate the whole bat over a period of a day.
Did you point that out to your children in the circle of life?
And they don't have to watch Lion King now.
Well. We all watched it.
It was horrifying and interesting at the same time.
And it was 15 feet above our head.
So we were worried about the bat falling down when it was dead,
but it ate the whole freaking bat.
And so we would have these monsters pop up.
There'd be bats, obviously big bats and small bats.
They were tarantulas. They were scorpions, which are
pretty standard. Those are in your shoes or
they're running around on the wall and or they're in the
pantry, like hanging out trying to blend into the floor.
And then there's these things called vinegar rooms.
Vinegar rooms are like a hybrid of a man, like like a lobster or
a crawdad, a a crab, like a land crab, a spider and a scorpion
all mixed together in a blender. And like God's nastiest, you
know, nightmares when he just was bored and was like, what if
I gave huge arms with these crazy claws to this spidery
looking scorpion thing? But we took off the tail and we
put a whip on there that spits out acid.
That's a vinegar rune. Wow.
And it's just like dangerous to like small children.
Can they die or just like a bee sting?
It doesn't even bother them like the acid is actually, it smells
like vinegar, which is why they're named the way they are.
And they just run around, spit out this little acid.
Now Ryan's messing with us. Rumble Rick says send Matt a
cup, Send him a muck. We'll we'll get him on.
We'll get him there. I just I got to put together a
package. One thing that people don't know
about me. Do you do you have any weird
sort of like mental blocks that somebody asks you to do it?
No matter how many times they ask you, you can't do it.
Is there anything in your life? Yeah, I remember I had, I've
still had this ongoing thing when I was a kid, my my mom,
every morning I came out and I would just always forget to open
the blinds in the kitchen and used to make her so mad.
She would say, I want natural light being in here.
And I always just used to say like, well, I'm the only one
here and I don't want natural light.
So it just doesn't occur to me to open the blinds.
And she would yell at me every single morning that I hadn't
opened the blinds. There's like a mental block
there, you just can't do it. Eventually just got to the point
where I enjoyed making your upset in the morning.
So I have that with mailing packages or letters.
I don't want to ever go to the mailbox ever.
I don't know why. Maybe it's because I was broke
at one point when I was in college and it was just a bad
day. If I opened up anything in the
mailbox and like, I can write things out, although I don't
like to, I can put an address on things, I can put a stamp on
them. But getting it from wherever I
am to the mailbox or to a, you know, to a package shipment,
it's like I have a strong block there.
It, it's really, really like it's, it's debilitating.
It's like a phobia. It's, it's, it's a weird, I
mean, we all kind of have these weird bugaboos where people are
just odd in general. I mean, just it's a good thing
that you're married because obviously, like, you probably
wouldn't my wife. Loves stamps.
She loves stamps. She loves like she'll pay bills
that we don't even owe money on. Like you, you send her a bill,
she's paying it. And then I'm, I'm looking around
going like, why do we pay that twice?
Oh, because they sent it to us in the mail and I already paid
it online. That's that's yeah, we're we're
complimentary men and women turns out and, and just our
friends. We all kind of complement each
other. You talk about weird bugaboos.
You've got some bugaboos that are going on right now.
You see that pivot that was. Professional.
That was professional broadcasting, Sir.
Let's let's talk about this topic number one that we pulled
on here. This is your most recent article
in The Federalist. I don't know if I told you we
were going to talk about it, but I'd like you to, to discuss it.
Yeah, Well, well, let's do the first one first, which is that
you, this article you wrote in April about the top 10 systemic
issues, You're you're doing videos, video to drop.
Like just rock'n'roll with that if you would.
Yeah. So we filmed many videos for
each one of these top 10 systemic issues.
It's all derivative from this policy paper that we wrote for
Center for Renewing America or #2 was this week.
And it dealt with this growing, creeping national security
branch issue that we find within the FBI, where it's something
that you've talked about after 911, how mission creep set in
when the military was using counterinsurgency to confront
enemies abroad. And the FBI had this domestic
responsibility to sort of be the century on the wall, but there
was just not a lot to do. So they started to look for
homegrown violent extremists and that's when you started getting
into the Liberty City 7 the entrapment of some Muslim
Americans that still ongoing, but obviously that that is not
as fruitful as they want it to be to justify the existence of
the national security branch and its funding.
So now it's both focusing on the domestic violent extremism as
they label it. And those are your anti
government extremists and your white supremacists.
And, and they're playing with the numbers on that with
obviously January 6th and another domestic terrorism
cases. And as a result, we're having
innocent Americans who are getting roped into the the
counterterrorism sphere that the FBI is putting out.
All right. And so this week we're doing
topic #2 it sounds like from your list you did a video on
that, which people can see on your Twitter profile, I'm
guessing? Yeah, it's pinned actually on
Center for Renewing America's Twitter page as well.
So if you want to catch at the top, that's that's where it is
right now. And every Thursday at noon,
we'll be dropping a new video and it's on all streaming
services, YouTube, Rumble, everything and and all the
social medias out there. So follow Center for Renewing
America, whatever your social media platform of choice is, and
you will get it. OK, And then Ryan will pull up
the second one, which is going to be the Federalist article
which you just wrote. I think we've got that one right
there. Nope, not that one.
There's one that just says that the FBI won't submit to the
legislative authority. It's got a picture and this
disarm all FBI agents if we can. Let's talk through it, Steve.
So you wrote this article for the Federalist.
What was the what's the perspective here?
And and where did, how did you come to it?
It's sort of an idea that I've had percolating in my mind.
And I threw it out to Seb Gorka on his show and he said I need
to write a column about it because if I didn't, he would
and he would take credit for it. So that sort of spurred, wait,
what is the motivation to start typing?
And the the concept that I have is the 1811 criminal
investigator position that the FBI refers to as a special
agent. We can eliminate that position
and return the FBI to its roots, which they neglected to mention
in their celebration of their their birthday this week, that
the FBI wasn't always an armed force.
It was a Bureau of unarmed investigators.
And I think through the budget appropriations, the Congress
certainly has the power now the Republicans are have the power
of the purse strings currently. Presently, they can use them to
defund armed investigators at the FBI and then also force the
agency to partner with local sheriff's offices, tribal
police, police departments, get their permission to do an
investigation in their area. And then also work with officers
from those agencies in the form of task force officers, which
there's already a proof of concept because there are task
force officers who do work for the FBI.
So we would just expand that through the US Marshall Service
and basically make those guys the guns and have to get their
consent to effect an arrest. And it's a final bulwark against
an out of control, politicized FBI, because now you're sheriff
who's more accountable to you, who you elect and can directly
get a meeting with if you want. It will be more incentivized to
protect you from the FBI should it become politicized.
Now you just mentioned the FB is fake birthday.
You want to get into that a little bit deeper.
Yeah, I was. They were celebrating.
What was it, 115 years, 125 years?
I can't remember the. Name.
It's made-up, but 115. Yeah.
And they the origin story of the FBI is that it was not always
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
It was a Bureau of Investigation.
And for the first couple decades, those guys didn't carry
firearms. So it's a little bit of a
deception on their part that they've been around in, in their
current status. And certainly it's evolved over
the years and then more so now into this intelligence agency
rather than a law enforcement agency that we see before us.
So I I think that there's definitely a historical route
for disarming the FBI. It's not something like it's
never been tried before. And we can go to that and then
say, look, if the if the FBI wants to claim credit for its
years of existence, then it should be willing to go return
to how it began. We, we've seen people online
that have actually said, oh, the FBI gets back to its core
mission. Well, it's core mission was Rob
investigating like Interstate gangsters and bank robberies.
That's how it came into existence.
And that's the reason why they got guns, by the way, in 1935.
Yeah, they had to confront the the Capone Tommy guns that were
just blasting up Chicago. The Chicago typewriter, right?
So let me, let me ask you this. When you were sitting at the
Academy, which would have been what, 9?
Years ago, 2014. When you're sitting there and
they do what's called the one week, I'm assuming you had a one
week where they introduced you to being a federal employee.
Did you have something? Yes, your intro week in the
auditorium where you sit there with a suit on.
Right. And then they tell you about the
history of the FBI and one of the things they tell you is that
in 19 O 8, the Bureau of Investigation was founded and it
was under attorney general, what was his name?
Bonaparte, I think. And then it goes forward.
And then at some point in time, Hoover gets involved in the 20s
and then starts advocating, you know, starts handing out his own
guns, which I think is amazing. Was like literally handing out
like like bags of guns to agents so that they had things that
they could just grab whatever they were comfortable with.
The most Kyle Seraphim move ever, by the way.
It is kind of a gangster move, but I mean, Hoover was a
gangster in addition to being a tranny, so that makes some
sense. So you've got this guy doing
that move. And then in 1934, they passed
the Bank Robbery Act, which allowed the FBI to go after bank
robberies that federalized the crime.
And 1935, the FBI changed its name to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. When you heard that that, did
you think that they were lying about the number of years the
FBI had been in existence? Or was I the only one sitting in
that auditorium going like, I don't get it.
Yeah. I mean, it's a completely
different agency with different tools and a different name.
I mean, it's not the same agency.
You can evolve, at least say something to that effect, but
it's not. It would be like the Army for
the first few years, it was like, well, we were the Boy
Scouts and we were doing camping and learning how to sew and tie
knots and then we got tanks. So we're we're we're in the Army
now and we've always been that. It's a little bit dishonest, I
think. And I think that the focus on
like crime and deterring crime and combating crime rather than
being this intelligence gathering agency is really the
biggest evolution that we've seen and that's been in the last
20 to 25 years. And actually the other thing
that that was put out this week that I was a part of was this
budget recommendation that Center for New America did.
They asked me to give them some historical background on
national security, an intelligence gathering.
And our recommendation was to just pull all the funding from
intelligence zero that out, but also beef up the criminal
investigative side of the FBI. And actually, so you're not
defunding police, you're providing additional funding.
And then overall, the agency would be cut by about 25% of the
of its funds. But this, you're putting the
money where it actually belongs, where people expect it to go.
From a historical perspective, from a pop culture perspective,
look, the FBI is supposed to be the the police, the federal
police or investigative arm at least of that.
And that's not what it's doing. One of the recommendations you
put in there is getting rid of what's called law enforcement
availability pay, which we can do for armed federal agents,
which is a 25% premium paid to all agents, 14,000 of them, many
of whom who don't have to work outside of they're, they're not
available per SE. Like do you think you could call
your your sack at any given time or your ASAC and expect them to
be there at 3:00 in the morning at a prison if you had a
somebody die? No, you certainly can't.
And when it comes to Special Agent in Charge, Sherry Anks
from the Jacksonville Field office, who lives 49 miles away
from the office, That's one mile.
Inside of the the outer arc you have to be within 50, don't you?
Yes, yes, be within 50, but certainly it's not keeping in
the spirit with your commute is over an hour, which I'm sure if
she was actually doing her 10 hour work day, she was devoting
that hour plus drive each way towards reaching that 10 hour
mark. She would never do that.
That's. Not in policy.
She would never do that. I'm sure she didn't send an
e-mail when she got into her car so that there's an actual
digital record of her quote UN quote working and then driving
for an hour, listening to the cough surfing podcast probably,
and then going to work. Looking for for errors with
Steve Friend's statement so she could try to file some sort of a
personal hatred with you. You mentioned the Army earlier,
the Boy Scouts and the Army. There actually is a 1 to 1
analogy with what went on in the FBI changing names and and
keeping the original birthday in 1926, the Army Institute of what
was known as the Army Air Corps, where they started getting
aviation units. They had some like, you know,
some single planes, they had small planes, they had some
balloons and some other things like that.
And that became a full blown Air Force, which at some point
separated away. And that happened in 1947.
I believe it's September 18th, if my Air Force history stands.
So on September 18th, they dissolve the Army Air Corps and
it became its own branch of the military known as the United
States Air Force. And people celebrate the United
States Air Force birthday not in 1926, but September 18th, 1947,
the birth of the United States Air Force, the finest fighting
Air Force in the world. And so there is a 1 to 1 line up
with that where you see, oh, OK, that's exactly what you do.
You take a new name, you break off from your previous agency,
you, you take on new responsibilities and tools.
You put a new banner up. You don't say under new
management, but we claim our original grand opening.
You don't get to do that. And, and that's what's so funny
to me about the FBI. They should be claiming an 88
year history and they claim 115 'cause they think that's
somehow, I don't know, more reputable.
It's bizarre. Isn't it a little bit like a a
sports franchise that picks up and moves to a different city
and changes the name of its mascot, but then claiming like
the Dodge won a Super Bowl back in the day when we were.
When we were the Brooklyn Dodgers, we we won some World
Series and and that's story franchise, it's.
Not logical. It's not really in keeping I
think with what we expect from them.
But I'm, I'm interested you, I don't, you know, when the
Department of Defense originated, when it claims, does
it claim to be the the War Department ever?
I don't know. We should look into this.
There's a couple things, folks. Put it down in the chat.
Leave us a comment on the Rumble Channel if you in fact know if
DoD claims its Department of Wartime, or if it it probably
does, to be fair. But yeah, they want to take
Crest, the W for World War 2. They don't want to give that up.
Nobody wants to give up the W for the WW2.
Back-to-back World War champions.
That's right. It's like the Dallas Cowboys of
the early 90s. They were, you know, they were a
franchise winner. It it's just, I don't know, I
saw that as the original lie. Some of my Quantico classmates
and I, the ones who think the way that you and I do, we're
looking at that going like, oh, if they're going to lie about
their birthday, what are the things will they lie about?
And you've been a street cop. When someone lies about their
birthday and their name, what are the things are they lying
about usually? Warrant.
Things that they did wrong in a criminal way.
Yeah, exactly. I I actually in my take away
from that week was the in the video presentation, the first
thing they did about welcome to the FBI, they were touting that
there was so much crime. It was rampant.
It was like blood running through the streets.
And then the arrow of progressivism came in and we
were able to solve it with the FBI.
And I remember thinking like that that's not something you
should be taking credit for. That's not a that's not a
victory. Progressivism is is a cancer.
Right. It's not the one and that you
think it is, but we're talking about government employees here
that basically suckle at the government teat.
Many of them have never had a private sector job or worked in
another industry. So, yeah, I mean, or they're
just going to roll right into big tech at the 17 year mark
just before collecting that pension, they're going to roll
in as some sort of advisor on election integrity at Facebook
or Twitter and collect 5X what they were.
Yeah, it's disgusting. All right, So Speaking of
disgusting, Ryan, if you'll queue up video #8 I think Steve
has already seen some of the stuff.
I don't know if you were able to get through the whole thing
without pitching your lunch in between your shoes, but this is
a video that comes from Tom Elliott's Twitter post.
I think he did the Super cut or put it together.
At least he was part of it. And Dan Bongino played a couple
minutes of it. He played like the first, I
don't know, 90 seconds of it. It's about 3 1/2 minutes long.
We'll probably break in the middle and get a response and
then we'll finish it out so we don't have just uninterrupted,
nauseating video coverage. But let's play this.
I'll get your reaction to it 'cause I think it responds very
well to the what we've experienced in this
whistleblower space. So I'll let you play that
whenever you're ready. Ryan, go and roll it.
The attack on the whistleblower is is never wise, it's never
lawful. It's never honorable.
It's everything you said. It's a travesty.
And I'm not going to call them whistleblowers.
They don't deserve whistleblower protection.
Each and every one of them has a strange history, has guess what
Russian connections they always do.
These are not, as we would consider them, whistleblowers,
people who are alleging wrongdoing.
They weren't really whistleblowers at all.
In fact, they weren't even credible witnesses.
Two or three people who are political operatives.
But they're not. Whistleblowers.
These guys are not whistleblowers.
Period. Is a hard working patriotic
person in the intelligence community who just wants to put
the information out there and the President to call into
question the credibility of this whistleblower.
They're referring to this whistleblower as the so-called
whistleblower. Can you pause it right there for
me, Ryan? OK, so for those of you who are
listening to this and you're going, what in the world am I
hearing? There is a a jump back and forth
when you hear about the so-called whistleblowers.
They're talking about guys like Steve Friend and me and Gerardo
Boyle and Marcus Allen and Gary Shapley, who we just saw
testify, and Joseph Ziegler, the the two guys from the IRS.
When they talk about the credible whistleblower, they're
talking about 2019, the plot to overthrow this president.
Who was Trump at the time? Who was that whistleblower and
and how credible was he? Eric Charamella.
I'm going to say the name. Don't say it.
He's like. Voldemort.
Voldemort that you must not be named.
That was actually the largest temptation that I had when I
testified. I wanted to say Eric Charamella
so I could get the name on the Congressional Record and
officially have that done by one person.
Because he's he's never been mentioned by name on the record.
No, that was the big thing where they were trying to protect his
identity. Yeah, Adam Schiff lost his mind.
Paul was was trying to say it and they were screaming and then
having it stricken from the records.
And. And then have you ever looked
into what happened to that guy afterwards?
No, have you? I looked, I don't know, it was a
while back, and I think he was probably doing the same thing
I'm doing, probably being like a fellow at some big tank.
He probably making way more money.
Yeah, they made sure he landed comfortably.
I'm sure. So he's the he's the credible
whistleblower. So that's that's the, the thing.
That's the mid, the the what do you call it?
Like the half court analysis. This is the, the half time piece
of it. Let's finish this video out and
we'll we'll just reflect in a minute.
You want to roll that, Ryan? So-called whistleblower on the
Biden family. Welcome back to so-called
Whistleblower from the so-called Whistleblowers.
See so-called whistleblowers, so-called whistleblowers,
so-called whistleblower,
so-called whistleblowers.
Whistleblowers. That's what he's calling them.
Whistleblower whistleblowers or alleged IRS whistleblower.
The GOP is marketing as whistleblowers, quote UN quote
whistleblowers. Jim Jordan, who's the chair of
the oversight committee, is lauding them as brave Americans.
Whistleblower, a true patriot coming forward with the
allegations. But that's why the whistleblower
is a hero. In many ways, this whistleblower
is a hero. The whistleblower is a public
servant. And now to stay anonymous, the
heroism is being kind of thrust on this person.
They can't imply this person is partisan Person has been deemed
credible and a patriot with great courage to do the right
thing. The whistleblower did was really
patriotic. Whistleblower was not alone
spiritually a best composed, best written, best documented
such complaint I've ever seen. Thank you whistle blower.
I consider your complaint to be credible and urgent.
Do what Donald Trump was doing in going after or targeting the
people who helped this. I would say very brave whistle
blower, if you've got an allegation against the Biden
family, then come on board because you too can be their
next whistleblower. Hunter Biden's whistleblower.
This whistleblower who is going to just tell us all the horrible
things he'd been up to, reappropriating the term
whistleblower after doing everything they could endanger
the life of the actual whistleblower that led to Donald
Trump's first impeachment. The actual whistleblower.
The actual whistleblower on these goose chases by Jim Jordan
after these supposed whistleblowers.
Been trying to undermine the institutions that holds the
powerful accountable. To try to come up with a
whistleblower who is viable, Apple blower who is viable.
I hope there are more whistleblowers out there.
These folks are sophisticated. People inside the White House
would say you're true patriots. Patriotic and dedicated
Americans that this country has this whistleblower, This is
another human being. It is a terrifying prospect to
go and try to sound an alarm about the most powerful person
in the country. The major pillars that prop up
the Republican fiction that President Joe Biden and his
family are entangled in some sort of criminal enterprise.
The first pillar? A so-called whistleblower.
Well, thanks for that Ryan. Ryan's got a video up here of a
visual up here rather, if you're not watching on our Rumble
channel, go to about 22 minutes in and go watch that video for
yourself. Or you can find it on Tom
Elliott's Twitter. And and obviously it was quoted
by Dan Bongino either yesterday or the day before, but
fantastic, fantastic little cut up.
They all get the same talking points.
Where do those come from there, Steve friend?
I don't know. I I mean, apparently Ryan J
Riley isn't on those conference calls because he's always like a
week or two behind. But I I was really taken aback
because that's actually probably the most cable news that I've
watched in a decade. Just Yeah, I never, I don't know
if I told you this, but so untalented and airbrained and
the uncomfortable where they were clearly told make sure you
do the air quotes so-called whistleblower.
Right, so you're missing this if you're not watching the videos,
but literally four of them are doing air quotes, the hands in
the air scare quotes when they say so-called whistleblowers or
they quote UN quote whistleblowers.
How how are whistleblowers defined?
I know you guys had that come up in the hearing.
Yeah, Tristan Levitt to try to do a good job of explaining
that, you know, he is a whistleblowing attorney who has
devoted his life to that and is pretty familiar with the law.
And the law is, and I think we've we've talked about it
before and I know you've hammered it home.
It's 5USC23O3. You have to be a government
employee with a reasonable concern of waste, fraud, abuse
or a risk to the public safety and bring those concerns forward
to list. I believe it's 7 potential
places that you can bring your information to.
Yeah, that sounds, that includes your frontline supervisor.
So if you walk into the boss's office and you're like, hey,
I'm, I'm worried about this. That isn't actually protected
whistleblower disclosure. You don't have to be right.
You just have to be reasonable. Yeah, but have you been even
adjudicated to be a whistleblower?
Is that a real thing? Like, you love that part that
makes me want to puke. By the way, All of that stuff
makes me nauseated. Yeah, that was the big the big
talking point during the the congressional hearing like.
The FBI, you didn't say he's a whistleblower like the FBI
somehow has. It's like the government
investigated the. Government Stunner Stunner.
The FBI investigated the FBI and found that the FBI did nothing
wrong. That's the that is the entire
headline for the last couple years.
Pretty shocking. Also in real time, we got a Fact
Check from Ryan Madda, he said. The Department of Defense the
DoD was established August 10th, 1949 as an executive agency
under. The Secretary of Defense, I
stand corrected. I let let it not be said that I
will not admit that I was wrong. I'm surprised because I would
think you'd want credit for the last actual military victory
that's on record. Everything else has been that
was under. The War Department, the war was
exporting violence. The Department of Defense has
gone, got a new mission. They are going to pretend like
they are not exporting violence and they are now sort of
euphemistically named. Amusingly, I feel like the
Department of Defense is what Homeland Security should be.
Homeland Security should not exist.
It should be called the Department of Defense and then
we should have a Department of War.
I think truth in naming would be a really good convention for
this country. A little bit of honesty would go
a long ways. It would, It would help hide
some things, but that's not the world we live in.
Agree with you under a President friend administration, Kyle Zerf
and shall be my Secretary of War.
I'm not even sure that's the right answer.
However, I love the. I love the instinct of it,
Steve. Foreheads on foreheads, man.
Warheads on foreheads, that is, that is what I signed up to go
do. That was my that was my dream
job. Tell people where they can find
you, follow you and what they should be doing, how your book
sales and everything else. Just send it out there.
Yep, Twitter at Real Steve Friend.
Despite the weekly censors, they kept pulling me back down and
they just crossed over 37,000 this week.
I was very excited. I don't know if you get a set of
steak knives or something because they were trying really
hard to prevent that. I'm at True social at Real under
score Steve Friend and you can find a link to my book on Amazon
on both of those social medias. The book is called True Blue, My
journey from beat cop to suspended FBI whistleblower.
It is a best seller on Amazon under the law enforcement
category. And I've been doing really well.
Been doing actually some events where people are coming out and
buying. I had to purchase several 100
books and been doing signed copies for folks as as I've done
some speaking engagements recently and will continue to do
so over the next couple months. My man, I appreciate you joining
me on Fridays. I know people love hearing the
updates from you. We'll do it again real soon.
I hope you have a fantastic afternoon and a good weekend
buddy. You too.
Thanks Sir. All right, we'll say bye to
Steve. Fran, we're going to pivot over
to the Geriacre C and let's get into what kind of ugly stuff is
going on. Ryan, if you want to bring up,
let's see what topic this is. I think it's topic #2 Congress
is old folks. And interestingly enough, we're
seeing here from the Pew Research Center that the House
has got a little bit younger. It's relative, I'm going to tell
you that right up front. And the Senate got older.
This is going to be a look at the age and generation of
lawmakers in the 118th Congress, which is where we are today.
This article goes back to January of 2023.
So we don't break news here. We want to make make the the
understanding of the news available to you.
And so when we look at this thing, it says the median voting
age of House lawmakers is 57.9 years.
And that's down one year essentially.
So they are one year younger by median from the 117th Congress.
And that we it was 58. So roughly the same as it was in
the 116th. It was just a slight uptick in
117th and it's a little bit lower than 115.
So they've been hovering around this 5859 year median voting age
for House lawmakers. We talked about the Senate, it's
on, it's on the way up and it is 65.3 years is the median there,
65.3 years, the age of retirement for most people in
America or at least used to be. And that is up a slight bit
maybe 1/2 year from the previous, which was 64.8.
So again, just roughly in that age bracket.
But the Senate always tends to be a little bit older by about
five years on on average what we're seeing here.
So those are the median ages. And, you know, I don't know if
that's a good thing or a bad thing.
You've got some experience. There's definitely something
there. However, the bad thing, I think,
in this country is that people stick around in these jobs
forever. They stay there forever.
We have lawmakers that have done 40 and 50 years.
This is actually not that incredible at this point, but it
hasn't always been this way. If we'll pull up the the
article, which is under topic #3 says, you know, essentially
Congress is older than ever, but it hasn't been this way.
This is from NPR, folks. NPR sees this as a strange
thing. This was written in November of
last year, November of 2022, talking about how Chuck Grassley
is really old. He's going to be 95 when he's up
for, quote, UN quote, re election.
If, if he makes it that far. And I think we have a little
video that's going to show us that that's kind of crazy.
The speaker of the House at that point in time was Nancy Pelosi,
who is 82. She's 83 or close to 83 right
now. Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell, which is what this all sparked from.
Many of us saw him do a hard reboot on national television,
on live television. And that's pretty troubling to
watch. So they're saying that
essentially 25% of members of Congress on both houses are over
the age of 70 years old, one in four.
The congressman is over 70. And I'm going to tell you why I
think that's a problem. First, I want to pull up one of
the videos. Let's do a video of Dianne
Feinstein. This is going to be video #1
Ryan, if you want to queue that sucker up.
And what we're going to be seeing here is a hot mic of the
aid sitting next to Feinstein talking.
Let's just run it. I think it speaks for itself.
And you want to roll, roll that video.
Senator Feinstein. You say aye.
Pardon me. Aye, Yeah.
I, I would like to support a yes vote on this.
It provides 823 billion. That's an increase of 26 billion
for the Department of Defense and it funds priorities
submitted. Yeah, just say aye.
OK. Just aye.
Thank you. That is really hard to watch for
some of us. So that was Dianne Feinstein,
one of the oldest members of the of the Senate.
And she's being told over and over again that the thing that
she is doing right now is voting.
And that comes in the form of either an aye or a nay.
That's how it goes. They've already given the
speeches. They've already given the
support. They've already spoken out.
She had it written on her paper. She could not pivot to what was
being asked of her and therefore she wanted to read her
statement. Maybe again, I'd, I'd love to
see if she wrote that, read that for a second time.
The thing that went viral was the fact that there's people
next to her just telling her what to do.
And she can't even take that direction because she's so
confused about where she is because, you know, she's
ancient. And, and that's the saddest
thing about it for me. I think it's elderly abuse for
me. I think it is abusive to the
system. It's these people that cling on.
And, and, and this is not isolated with only people that
are in Congress. There's a lot of people that
cling to these federal jobs way longer than they ought to.
I think Anthony Fauci is one of those people.
They cannot let it go because it's the it's the identity that
they have. And it also it gives them
meaning in their life that they forgot to cultivate otherwise.
And that's why I think that it's so important.
That's why I love the the, the stuff that Catholic vote says.
Faith, family and freedom. What is it about?
It's about those things. If you don't have faith, if you
don't have family, who cares what you do with the rest of
your time? You have nothing to to invest
in. It's why I think that this
country was built on families. It's built on the middle class
dream. The American dream is basically
finding a spouse, making children for the next
generation, creating a home where you can raise them that is
safe. The white picket fence is all
that that tells you about good and orderly homes.
You know, you can look at a fence often times and decide a
lot about what the house is that's going on.
You can look at the exterior of the house and know what it looks
like on the inside. Not every time, but you know,
judging a book by its cover. But many times you can drive up
to a house, look at the yard, look at what's going on in it,
and you can have a pretty good idea of how ordered or
disordered that household is. And in the same way, we're
seeing these people that have basically forgotten to tend the
garden, have forgotten to mow the lawn, have forgotten to take
care of the external house. And now they're sitting at
almost 90 years old or older. And they're sitting there in
front of Congress having young people tell them what to do.
They are a figurehead and they are holding the spot and they
have no reason to be there. We had in the chat just a second
ago Glitch McConnell with a rumble rant.
So very funny and love that. I think that's a, that's a
reasonable trend. I'm looking at this this, this
web page called Fiscal Note, which I don't know if we put
that up here or not. In fact, we did.
It's topic #4 you can pull up Fiscal Note and it's also
talking about the age of members of Congress.
There's some pretty interesting graphics.
And what it says is that we have a very, very small number, the
two smallest numbers in the House.
In fact, the actual smallest distribution in the Senate is 30
to 39. And those are almost half as
many as the people that are over the age of 80.
That should absolutely be the strangest and least likely thing
that you ever find. The senator from Iowa, 89 years
old, Dianne Feinstein, 89 years old, Vermont, Bernie Sanders, 81
years old. He's still out there, by the
way, Bernie Sanders, Kentucky, Mitch McConnell, 80 years old.
And I'm happy to dish it out to either side.
I don't care if you're an independent, a Republican or a
Democrat. If you were 80 years old, what
in the in the world are you doing there?
You know, and, and the sad thing was, is that Ryan and I were
having this conversation earlier.
We were talking about the idea that if, if you're over that age
and you hear these people talk all the time, they were like my
grandmother made it to 90 years old or 96 years old.
And she was still sharp as a whip and she was spot on.
And the answer is always the same.
Yes, compared to people her age, but not compared to a 25 year
old or a 35 year old or somebody that is in the prime of what
they're doing. There's a reason why none of the
best math, you know, best mathematicians in the world are
cracking, cracking the the secrets to the universe in their
90s. And it's not because they're not
smart. It's because we actually have a
scientifically proven cognitive decline that happens after the
age of 70. That's kind of the age of
consensus. So we'll get into that in just a
second here. But it makes me really sad that
we've given this country over to people that I, what I like to
say is that their biological imperative is not there.
They don't have young that they are trying to protect and
cultivate this country better for.
And that's why I think that we need to have.
I don't care about term limits nearly as much as I care about
age limits on the upper end. There is a time when you no
longer have skin in the game. And for the person themselves,
if you don't have the wherewithal to walk away from
the game of politics when you are at 70 years old and enjoy
what's out there in the world, become an older statesman,
become a font of of knowledge and wisdom.
Give speeches if that's what you really want to do.
If you still want to be involved in the game, you know, step out
of it and help the people that are younger understand, become a
professor emeritus somewhere. Give lectures.
I don't care. Share that experience in a way
that's meaningful. Get off the front lines of the
the horrific back and forth to congressional districts, the
flying around. Like all of that has to degrade
you and it doesn't sound like it's good for your family.
And that makes it bad for the rest of America.
If it's bad for your family and it's bad for your for your
livelihood as a human being, you are, you are literally just
holding on for dear life to something that made you
relevant. And these people, they need to
cultivate their lives outside of it.
It's bizarre. I just wish they would change
that. I don't want to be ruled by
people who are over the age of 70.
And right now we definitely are. Let me look at our next piece
here topic #5 what do we have here?
That was the oldest. Oh, yeah.
So this is a great article. This comes from oldest.org, by
the way. Very interesting.
I'm going to read you the oldest members in the US Congress as
updated in 2023. OK.
And here it is the the 10th oldest is Danny K Davis.
He was born in 1941. He's been serving since January
of 97, OK. And he's a Democrat #9 Jim
Clyburn. He's been serving since January
of 93. He's 82 years, almost 83 years
old, OK, born in 1940. Then we've got Nancy Pelosi.
We all know she's been serving since 1987.
OK, so she's slightly young and she's actually older than those
two, or she's 82, almost 83 years old in this thing and
serving since 87. She's been there forever.
My dad had a really great story, by the way.
The other day we were talking on the phone and my dad tells me
that she used to call into the radio station because he used to
run a large news station in the, the Bay Area where she first,
you know, she's been a a representative there for a very
long time. And they would, she would call
in to make some sort of partisan statement and they would just
not turn on the recorder. And so she would just ramble
into the phone and they say thanks so much.
And then they hang up and they'd never play it, which is kind of
funny stuff. Steny Hoyer #7, born in 1939,
older than any of these, yet elected in 1981.
He has been in in Congress since before I was born, representing
the state of Maryland as a Democrat.
Maxine Waters, we know her, been in since 91.
She's almost 85 years old. Hal Rogers, never heard this
name. Obviously, he's a Republican,
but he's from Kentucky, kind of one of the guys who's flying on
the back burner. Also been in since 81, and he's
85 years old. I just want you to have it in
your head. He was born in 1937.
Just think about this. This guy for, you know, might be
sharp as a tack for a guy who's in his 80s, but is he sharp as
attack as a guy like Matt Gaetz, who's out there running it down?
Like, maybe This is why we're seeing such weak hearings.
And we do have a video to show some of that.
We've got a Democrat here from New Jersey.
I don't know how to pronounce his last name.
Bill Pascrell looks like, and he's was born in 1937.
He's 86. And we're just getting older and
older. Grace Napolitano, California
Democrat, elected in 99, still going 23 years later, 24 years
later. Chuck Grassley elected in
January of 81 and he started in the House of Representative in
1975, S since 1975 and he's almost 90 years old. 89 and
change. All right.
And then the number one, oldest one is Dianne Feinstein, who we
just heard in that video. Brian, if you'll run, because
we're equal opportunity here, if you'll run the video that I've
got set up. And that is going to be the the
McConnell video. I think this is the thing that
kicked it all off. It's video #2 folks just watch
this and you tell me if this is OK.
If this is the people that you think should be running our
country, go ahead and run that. Bars and cooperation and a
string of. That dead air is a video showing
Mitch McConnell with his mouth closed.
If you're listening right now, he's just swaying at a podium,
OK? Mitch, anything else you want to
say? I'm sure.
Let's go back to Do you want to say anything else to the press?
And now he just sort of waddles off and they're very, you know,
you should be concerned about this.
This is the the same situation that you would find out if
somebody had just literally collapsed on camera.
I found, I found some videos of that.
There was a governor that did that in in Minnesota five years
ago, was talking, was slurring, got more and more confused and
then just fell at the podium. So that's a possibility that can
happen. In this case, the likelihood of
like ATIA or a transischemic attack, which is like what
people always call a mini stroke, but it's a it's when
blood is blocked to a certain part of your brain.
I made a comment the other day on a Twitter space and I think
it holds true the when you have people that are over the age of
70 and some of these people do not look like they are in, in
great health. I always kind of brag about my
dad. I feel like it's an 80s claim to
say like my dad could beat up your dad, but I think my dad
could beat up many of your dad's.
That's so Charlie, if you're listening, I, I, I have so much
respect for my dad's physicality at the age that he's at.
But my dad doesn't need to be, you know, fighting people in
their 40s. He goes out and fights brambles
and bushes and he's, and he's incredibly tough and he goes out
and runs a chainsaw for 8 hours in the desert and I don't even
see him bring water out with him.
A madman in many ways. But you look at these guys and
they've been indoor dogs for as long as they have and they're,
they're shiny skinned and they're, they're, you know,
unexposed to the exterior. And they're not doing hard work
like men historically did. And I'm specifically talking
about men here. But we had the same situation
happen with Dianne Feinstein where she had a catastrophic
accident of some kind. And we see her in a wheelchair
walling around. She looks, she looks just
absolutely destroyed as a human being.
She's just wrecked. And, and so some of these people
are 2030mm of Mercury away from not being on the planet.
If you don't know how we measure blood pressure, that would be a,
a difficult thing for you to understand.
But you know, you hear like, what's a good blood pressure 120
/ 80? And, and that means those are
120mm of Mercury. It's a, it's a, a measure, a
measure of pressure. You, you break it outside of
their normal range, 2030mm of Mercury.
And we could have a what would called either a hemorrhagic
stroke or, you know, they start stroking out somewhere else and
blood doesn't get up to the brain.
You can break a blood vessel and that would be the end of them.
And all of our our systems are weaker and less capable at the
ages over 70. So I'm going to bring up this
next this next article. It's a scientific article
written at the National Institute of Health.
It's topic number six, if you would.
And this is the impact of the age on cognition.
Yeah. Step it back.
Just one step. Step 2nd for me, if you would,
Ryan, the, the, the age piece there.
So there's the scientific articles that have been written
for a long time. This one was dated in 2015 that
I'm looking at and we'll bring it up at some point here, but it
doesn't matter too much. There's, there's this change
that happens at about 50 years of age.
And what they were doing is they were measuring crystallized
abilities, which is known as vocabulary and then fluid
abilities like your basic raw processing speed.
And those things change at about 50 years old on the average.
So crystallized abilities like vocabulary starts going hot.
There it is. Goes a little bit further north
of the of the curve before 50 and it kind of tops and kind of
breaks out. So the ability to speak certain
words and, and have a, a larger vocabulary kind of peaks in the
mid 40s and then kind of flat lines.
But the ability to process information peaks in the 20s and
slowly, slowly, slowly declines to an average of about 55 years
old and drops precipitously between 60 and 70 years old.
And at 80, it is in a, in a free fall going at least one standard
deviation below the mean. So that's what this particular
graph was showing. That's what I'm looking at here.
These scientific studies are being done.
They're aggregate studies. They are large and large form
studies to try to get an idea of when does that happen and why
does it happen? And so the next article that
comes up here, which I think we have underneath a cognitive
decline maybe topic #9 it, it, there's all these little like
aggregate study. So they grab all these pieces
that's perfect right there. And what this one that comes
from what you're seeing on the screen right now comes from one.
When does age-related cognitive decline begin?
So there's this question about when do we stop having it?
It's a 2010 study. So again, not new, but it's
multiple studies from O2, from 1988, from 1985, from 2005, from
1989. All these studies come together.
I'm going to read you a couple of quotes.
Cognitive decline may begin after midlife, but most often
occurs at higher ages 70 or more.
Relative decline in performance occurs in people until they are
about 50 years old. There's another thing here
saying cognitive abilities generally remain stable
throughout the adult life until about 60 years old.
There's little or no drop off in performance before age 55.
There's a reason why we retire when we do.
Some of it is because people have been able to hopefully work
long enough to put money away. And the other reason is because
you are going to be run circles around by younger people in very
high performing and demanding jobs.
And I would imagine being in charge of Congress has to be one
of those things. Last little quote here from 89.
This study says most abilities tend to peak early in midlife.
They plateau until the late 50s or 60s and then show decline
initially at a slow place, but the accelerating as late as the
late 70s are reached. So all these people that we are
seeing that are falling apart and they are falling apart,
there's no question about it. They're falling apart because of
a natural progression of reduction in white matter, which
starts happening around 70 years old.
And it's nothing against them. I don't, I don't have any beef.
Again, it's not a personal attack to cite that biology
exists in the same way it's not a personal attack to say that
you could be a man or a woman. I just, it's, it's so bizarre.
If you'll play the, the video here, which was, let's see, I
think it is video #3 this is Mitch McConnell.
I just want you to focus on not Mitch McConnell, Rather, this is
this is Chuck Grassley. Look at what he's doing and then
consider the way Matt Gaist handles things.
If you want to roll that video right now, just watch his eyes.
He's staring directly at a piece of paper, and he's reading it
verbatim. First question is a follow up to
a line of questioning you had with Senator Cotton.
You told this committee that, quote, the executive branch
cannot simply decide based on policy disagreements that it
will not enforce a law at all, end of quote.
Then you released a December 16th, 22 memo instructing
prosecutors to disregard the law that established sentencing
differences between cocaine and cocaine base.
Your decision not to enforce the law ended congressional
discussions at that particular point for a compromise.
If a DOG claims that it will ignore the law by declining to
prosecute a law that grew out of a bipartisan compromise forged
in this committee, it's hard to see how members can trust the
department about following any further bipartisan deals.
So I'm going to ask you, would you withdraw your memo so that a
meaningful legislative discussion can resuming if you
don't have a a agreement with me, why wouldn't you do that?
So there you go. He finally looks up after he
asked his question. That's all we've got.
I see you in the chat. Are are are getting rowdy about
whether or not you love Chuck Grassley.
I don't care if you love Chuck Grassley.
I don't want a 90 year old man from any party being out there.
He's in the he's in the seat. He's not going anywhere.
He's going to be there for years.
We need to stop electing people that are this old, whether they
you think they're sharp or not, whether you think they're on our
team or not. This has to be a bipartisan
discussion and here's why. So we've got a graph up right
now. I also hear that we have over
700 people that are watching in the live chat right now.
So please, if you're sitting in there, hit that thumbs up, hit
that. Like that should turn green on
Rumble and that it moves our videos up in the ranking, which
we really do appreciate. So this graph right now shows us
going back to 1950, maybe a little bit before 1950 and it
shows us the average age of members of Congress.
And this is going to be relevant for a reason.
The younger it is, the better off we are able to tackle the
problems we have. Like what we're looking at in
our country right now. We have maximum inflation.
We are watching the interest rates going up to a level that
are going to be probably clearing 8% for home loans.
We have these inflated property prices where houses cost 150%
more than they did just a couple of years ago.
It is pricing people out of the market.
And we've done this all before. We did this in the in the 80s
when Reagan came in. So if you're looking at the
graph on the screen, what you're seeing is that the average age
of Republicans, Democrats, hovered in the mid 50s starting
in 1947. It started slightly climbing and
it actually started declining in the early 60s and it went down
and down and it continued to decline post JFK all the way to
Reagan where we had 1980, the lowest number where we had the
average age of Republicans in Congress was below 50 years old.
It looks like it's about 48 on the graph and the members of
Democrats were only 50 or 51. Same story.
Since that time, there's been a basically a straight line
climbing upwards. It continues to climb up to
where we have this, this over 60 years and over 55 years old.
And, and this only it goes up to 202,013 in this particular
graph. OK, so we're talking about a
seven years ago, actually that's 10 years old now.
And that data continued to climb.
We are now over 58 years old. And one, as we said in over 65
and the other the IT is not a good sign of health.
And you can look at the way things looked in the early 80s
and the way that we were able to take reforms and bite the bullet
and handle things. When you have young people that
are in office, they can be bold. And when you have old people,
they cannot be because old people are by their very nature,
like they have to be a little bit more cautious.
Everything is more dangerous. Look at our president, Joe Biden
falling over a sandbag. The man is threatened by wind,
stairs, sandbags. You know, anybody could fall
over. But the difference for him and
us, him falling over on a bicycle could end his life.
We have to be very clear about that.
That is not a position of strength.
And I don't care what party he's in.
I'm not real crazy about anybody that age.
And that includes Donald Trump, although he seems awfully much
more virile than he was. Listen to him in the 90's.
The guy is much sharper in the 90s.
So that's a tough line for us to look at.
And it doesn't matter if you love Trump, if you, if you hate
Biden, that you know, they're both in that senior category.
And there's a reason why we don't do that.
I'm going to have one more thing pop up here.
Let me look at what number we had the the age of the founding
fathers. If you go to topic #10 there is
a an interesting website calledteachingamericanhistory.org.
In 1787 during the Constitutional Convention, the
Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia.
The average age of the delegates was 42 years old. 42 years old
was the average age. Now they had a couple of people
that were outside of that span, but they were delegates there in
their 20's. The delegates from New Jersey,
Maryland, North Carolina and South Carolina were all between
the ages of 26 and 29 years old. OK, that's pretty relevant.
You had people that were in their 30s, which was a big block
of it, and a huge block of it in their 40's.
The number of people that were over 50 was like 1/3 or less.
We had people like Benjamin Franklin and Roger Sherman.
These guys were in their advanced age, but Benjamin
Franklin actually dragged that number up dramatically.
OK. He dragged it up so high because
he was 81 years old and the next oldest person was 66.
Those were the two oldest people at the Constitutional Convention
that broke away and created the document that we live under
today. I think it's really, really
important to note that most of people that were signing that
document were under the age of 50.
And the number of people that were even in their 50s is the
bulk of the people that were over 50.
We had less than, I can count them out right now, 12345.
There were eight people at the constitutional convention that
were over the age of 60. OK, eight people.
So that should tell you something about the age of
boldness. And the age of boldness is
significantly younger than what we're seeing right now.
It bothers me. And then you end up with people
that are trying to defend a legacy because they don't have
enough time in their in their bucket that their legacy is
going to be this political thing.
That's why we have people like Korean Kareem Jean Pierre out
there lying to us about how everything is better off.
We had some other stuff on here. I have some other videos.
We've got Maddie Hassan who's out there trying to say that the
Biden economy is brilliant and amazing with a cherry pick
facts. They have to lie.
That's what all politicians need to do in order to sell you the
bill of goods, that they are the best.
But the real problem for me is that they are selling you a bill
of goods because they don't have any other time to live out their
days in something like this is the last hurrah and their last
hurrah, sadly enough, is in politics.
Geriacrecy is real. We need to all agree that this
is not the people we need leading and let these people go
home and live their golden years in places where they can be the
senior statesman that used to exist.
They can be advisory only and that would be fantastic.
So consider this, the expiration date is 2024.
It's actually going to end up being 2026 for the Senate race.
We're going to have the primary, some of these people that have
been in there and anybody who comes out like John Corning did
and say that Mitch McConnell is sharp as a tack and he's good to
go when he had a hard reboot, a control alt delete moment on
national television. I don't know what they're
thinking, but I'm not OK with it.
I'm not OK with these people running the most powerful
Republic that's ever existed. And they're a reason why we are
declining right now, I think as they cognitively decline.
Sad enough. All right, that's enough on the
rant. Let me let me pivot over here
and just say some thank you's. First of all, thank you for
joining us today. If you've been doing it.
We we stream this show live Monday, Wednesday and Friday
from Liberty Hill, TX. We are the most quoted podcast
by congressional Democrats, including those who think that
we are so-called whistleblowers in this session of Congress, the
118th. And we are the most watched
podcast by the FBI security division.
So thanks for making us all those things.
Thanks for listening to us. It scares them and we do
appreciate it. If you're watching this video,
like I said, Scroll down, hit that thumbs up until it says
it's green. We saw some plenty of faces in
the chat today that are going after saw Van Halen.
I haven't seen you before. So welcome to the chat and we do
appreciate it. A couple of familiar faces out
there, folks. We don't have to agree on
everything, but we should look at the problem set and be honest
about it. And sometimes we are encouraging
those that we like even though they're in the problem set.
