Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, an
American patriot. Prepare to embrace the
uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for
comforting lies. Here is civil liberties
enthusiast, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI
agent Kyle Seraphin. Well, hello my friends.
Welcome to the Kyle Seraphin Show, today's Monday.
It is October the 6th and as usual, a couple minutes behind
here on a Monday morning. I hope you guys understand how
that goes. What I'm always trying to do is
figure out can I cut this thing down under, I don't know, 90
minutes under 2 hours because I could just jam packed this stuff
all weekend long. I'm gathering this garbage.
We're just, we're living in such a wild time that I end up having
conversations with friends over the weekend.
And, and the question is, how are we going to get out of this?
How do, how do we survive this as a nation?
And I'm more and more coming to the, the conclusion and I, I'm
not really sad about it and I'm actually not really scared about
it either. But I think the conclusion is,
is that we are not going to survive this as a nation.
I just don't know how fast it's going to decay.
I had this sensation all last year and maybe some of you guys
did as well that it's, we're, we're on the edge of it all just
collapsing. But that doesn't mean that we
just immediately run into Mad Maxville.
I, I have this conversation with my friend Sean Witzman, who's
out in, in Missouri and he's unplugged from a little bit.
He's out selling houses now, which is great.
Like, I just, it's nice to see some of my friends that were
stuck in the politics and, and paying attention to this and
they've been able to go and just do something regular and deal
with regular people. But I talked to my dad, I talked
to Steve Baker. I, I, I keep having these
conversations with men that I respect around the country.
They all have different perspectives, whether they're
driving around and seeing the entire country or whether
they're living in the mountains in Arizona or whether they're
hanging out in Ozarkistan, as my buddy calls it.
It's like, how do we come out of this tailspin?
Is it recoverable? And I don't think here it is.
But the crazy thing is, is that as this federal shutdown goes
off, by the way, we're on government shutdown still, those
of you who didn't notice, that's actually a story we're going to
cover today as as more and more people realize that, that what
the hell does the federal government even do other than
take a ton of our money, do a bunch of really, really awful
things with it, fund programs that we would never, never vote
for and never allow, And then that's it.
That that's the entirety of it. Like, what's the payoff?
The payoff is our military. Our military's great, except
when it's been captured for ideological purposes.
We've got some stories about the argument on whether or not men
and women are physically capable of doing the same sort of
dangerous work. I'm just going to surprise you
guys up front. We're not.
How do you know that? Because all of human history has
proven this. We have not created the mech
warrior suit for Lieutenant Ripley to step in and fight the
Aliens better than a man, even though for both most of my life,
I think Hollywood and, and all the sort of powers that be were
pushing this idea that women were action heroes too.
And they could be. And there's a really, really,
really small number of women that can be under a really
narrow set set of circumstances, overwhelming.
And that's not the case. And the reason we know that is
because there's thousands of years of human history and it
just doesn't happen. But it doesn't mean that women
are not valuable. It just means that they're just
not capable of doing that one thing.
Kind of like Kyle Seraphin's not capable of dunking a basketball.
I'm 5/8, I weigh too much, I'm not fast enough, my UPS are not
there. I can't dunk a basketball.
Doesn't mean I can't do a bunch of other things.
I can do some things better than many people can, even at 43.
It's just it's so silly to not acknowledge the biological
realities, but we're living in this time when we've been
continually gaslit about so many things that we don't even know
how to get down to it. I saw somebody comment today on
the Spotify comments and they said, really, I really
appreciate your podcast. You're just like a regular dude.
You're like a regular person. You're a real person.
I am a real person. Yesterday, until it got dark, I
did the most regular thing you can imagine.
I dragged my miter saw out into the front yard 'cause I didn't
want a bunch of dust in my garage, which is a real bummer.
And then I cut a bunch of lumber and I built a structure to hold
my son's bed up off the ground 'cause he really wanted a bunk
bed and it was worth me spending an afternoon for it.
And then in a totally regular dude move, I waited until it was
actually dark and I didn't finish until it was bedtime.
And so I was pushing the limit right there, like so many men
did a project and I didn't keep track of time.
And so it's 8:15 at night, my son's supposed to be in bed, my
wife is putting the bed on the floor.
And then I go up there. And then I'm grumpy about it
because not everybody knew what my plan was.
And then I had a regular argument about something stupid
because it was my own fault. I guess I don't know what's more
regular than that. OK, Those things will continue
on with or without government. Those things will continue on
whether the federal government of the United States is funded
or not. Your neighbors will still come
over and borrow your wedding tool, as I had happened.
People will still be mowing their lawns or not mowing their
lawns as it goes on. We're going to continue to find
out that most of the things that happen are not federal.
So even though we have on this particular podcast, a, an
aggressive predetermination towards looking at federal and
national news, that's not where you guys live.
This is almost like a curiosity. This is a this is a situational
awareness brief. I'm going to actually try to
argue that that's what we do here at the Kyle Seraphin show.
It is a situational awareness briefing on things that
hopefully don't actually come and affect you.
And if it were to all fall apart at the federal level, what
would, what would you wouldn't go into Mad Max realm right away
at all. I think what you guys would
experience is that you would just keep on keeping on.
This government was set up to be run by the states.
And if the federal government fell apart, unlike what happened
in the the era of the Revolutionary War, in the War of
1812, where there was an existential external threat to
the United States that could have come in and taken us apart
at any moment. The Brits reinvaded and tried to
take over the United States. What, 20 years into our
constitutional Republic that happened and yet today who's
going to do that? The military in Texas alone
would be enough to fend off almost anybody that had
territorial capabilities to come in here.
I think Texas could single handedly fight off Mexico right
now with just the troops that live there and the armed
civilians. So I just want to say that even
though we we continue to highlight all these awful things
and they are really awful and they're really frustrating.
I don't think it goes Mad Max immediately.
It just doesn't because your power company is local and your
water company is local and your gas is pumped and refined not by
the federal government. Some of these, some of these
roads wouldn't stick around as well.
You know, they, some of these, some of these projects would not
do as as well. But at the end of the day, I
mean, you don't interact with the federal government all that
often, as many of you are finding out in this shutdown.
So all of that is really relevant to the way that we're
going to cover today's show because we have a bunch of
serious problems in this country.
They are not being handled by serious people.
And that's I think why they continue.
Before we get deep into the weeds here, which is very easy
for me to do right of the way on a Monday morning, let's talk
about my friends over at my Patriot Supply.
The website ismypatriotsupply.com slash
Kyle. They are giving you an
opportunity for a winter preparedness special.
And I had not thought of this before, but now I'm aware of it.
I like their their their ad read sometimes just for this.
Cold weather's going to be here before you know it.
Unless you live in Texas, it'll be 100° for another freaking
month. If the power goes out, it can
get really cold, especially for those of you that live in places
where that is. If you have no way to keep your
family warm, what do you do? You could actually freeze.
So my Patriot supply is selling the VESA off grid space heater
right now. It's a space heater that doesn't
use electricity. It runs on something called
Canned Heat. It's an indoor safe fuel option.
The Vista. It's an opportunity to be able
to keep yourself cold. You can also boil water in a in
a pinch. You can cook food, which is also
pretty cool. Best part?
You can get that plus a bunch of other free gifts if you order
the Winter Preparedness special for my Patriot Supply right now.
Check it out at mypatriotsupply.com/kyle.
Again, mypatriotsupply.com/kyle. There's a link below here.
It's going to have everything included.
The offer won't last. Neither will the nice fall
weather. Hopefully I get white.
Nice fall weather soon. Go to mypatriotsupply.com slash
Kyle today. Get yourself prepped up.
What if it's cold? You know, it's a real
possibility. Like I said, in Texas, we just
have summer until it's the next season again.
All right, let's get into today's program.
Take a deep breath. This one's going to be semi
heavy. I got to take some coffee and
fuel up because this is beginning right now.
All right, let's just do this. Let's just talk about what I
think might be one of the dumbest things that has popped
up in quite a while in my lifetime.
This is one of the Dumber things.
This is a great a great reminder that we have legitimately
serious problems in this country and truly unserious people
dealing with them. This makes it so easy to take a
little dunk on Cash Patel, the director of the FBI.
I'm going to have a sort of light hearted.
And then I'm also going to give you some real analysis on this,
what you're seeing on the screen for those of you who are just
listening, going, what the hell are you talking about?
Kyle? This is the challenge coin as
published by Ken Delaney. And you don't have to like Ken.
It's irrelevant. This is the challenge coin that
is being handed out and presented by the director of the
FBI, Cash Patel. And I'm going to describe it to
you because if you're listening, you should probably be listening
over on Spotify right now. So you can click over to the
video screen and it lists and, and, and just ingest this.
It is A2 sided coin with a Punisher skull, which would be
bad enough on its own and I'm going to tell you why, but
that's not enough on the front side of the coin.
I'm going to call it the front. It has Cash Patel's logo for the
Fight with Cash Foundation. This may actually be a violation
of rule, policy or law. He's advertising.
I don't. I like his nonprofit foundation
from the the Office of the Directorship.
It's the letter K, a dollar sign, which is recessed, and the
letter H, he skipped the vowel like our friends over at Silent
Do. And inside the Punisher skull
eye sockets, instead of having glowing pupils, which is kind of
what the the Punisher is famous for, having these like red
glowing kind of eyes. That's the icon.
There are spiders. There are two spiders in the eye
socket. Below the eye socket is a, a,
like a, a nasal passage that's open like any other skull 'cause
that's cartilaginous. And below that, for some reason,
no particular reason at all I can actually figure out, is a
Spartan helmet with a very plumed headdress.
And instead of the teeth of the Punisher skull, which extend
down, usually there's four or five of those things.
He has the barrels of revolvers which look like maybe Colt
Pythons, a gun the FBI does not carry when you flip it to the
back. Lest you think otherwise, this
is an official FBI coin. There's very specific rule
following that that follows. If you put the FB is symbol on
it and it has a full color version of the FB is official
symbol and it says in words presented by the director of the
FBI, Cash Patel with a Tommy gun underneath it, A gun the FBI has
historically carried but doesn't anymore.
It might actually go back to the root of when the FBI started
becoming a problem, which was in always.
Then it has a signature embossed on there.
There are two numbers, looks like 6, but I don't know what
they're for. And then there's the number 9,
which symbolizes that he's the 9th director of the FBI.
Now, how many of you knew that they were 9 directors of the
FBI? We'll go to the chat over here
and just see. Did anyone know that Cash Patel
was the 9th director? All of this is an argument that
that this man is desperate to be a mini Donald Trump.
He uses lawsuits the way that Donald Trump does.
He talks the way that Donald Trump does, but not in a good
way. He's like an Indian knock off
version, like a Temu Shien American IP stolen and then
implemented overseas and some sort of garbage factory version
of Donald Trump. And instead of having, you know,
kids in a marriage, he's a single man.
He's 45. He's Donald Trump without the
decades of branding, all the braggadocio, but none of the
actual follow through on it. Trump can be Trump because he's
Trump. People know who the president is
because for some reason we keep track of that and it's become a
bigger deal of, of of late to be able to use numbers like 45 and
4746 was a problem. 86 this, blah blah blah.
Nobody knew that there were 9 directors of the FBI before this
coin. I haven't even counted him.
I'm sure he's right, but the self congratulatory nature of
this coin is so silly and it's so obnoxious and it's also
really freaking dangerous because of the actual rhetoric
that is going on behind this. Now people told me it's a cue
thing. If that's the case, that's even
Dumber. But allow me to just dig in on
the Punisher skull and the Punisher the, the, the symbolism
behind that skull. I went into the archives here
and I found something from a from a website called Softleet.
This is special operations warriors who have now turned to
fitness and they're doing fitness programs.
Softleet published this staff contributor op-ed by a homicide
detective. And the the title of it is, is
Protectors, not Punishers, Law enforcement in the 21st century.
The entirety of this story is relevant to the punisher skull.
There's a reason why more and more law enforcement agencies
have been pulling this skull away from SWAT teams, away from
from the the different units and, and unit challenge coins
and patches. And the reason is really
specific because the idea of a Punisher has nothing to do with
law enforcement in the United States.
The creator of the Punisher is a guy named Gary Conway.
And Jerry said this, he's a Co creator, I guess.
Quote to me, it's on the screen right now.
To me, it's disturbing whenever I see authority figures
embracing Punisher iconography because the Punisher represents
a failure of the justice system. The vigilante antihero is
fundamentally a critique of the justice system, an example of
social failure. And so when cops put Punisher
skulls on their cars, or members of the military wear Punisher
skulls or patches, they're basically siding with an enemy
of the system. Now, here at this program, we
are in fact outsiders and enemies of the system.
And even us, even those of us that are sitting here, we don't
actually advocate for vigilantism at this point.
There may be a time when that comes up, when posse justice is
the only justice that we can get.
We're probably not far away from that in reality.
And that actually wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
That would be the way that many frontier towns handle business.
A bunch of interested citizens got together, decided what their
values were, and then they enforced it at a local level.
That turns out to be a pretty American concept.
But the Punisher is a symbol of failure of the justice system.
You now have the most powerful law enforcement figure in the
United States representing that the justice system has failed
and that we are going to do lawless vigilantism.
Do you guys can, can you see how dangerous and stupid this is?
How foolish and role-playing LARPI this is LARP is live
action role play. For those you don't know this
kind of thing. This is a LARP.
This is a this is a dude pretending to be a dude while
acting like another dude and it's really embarrassing.
This challenge coin that you're seeing again on the screen would
go really hard with a 2005 non combat MOS Army G Watt enlistee,
a 19 year old who has no education, who signed up for
good reasons and they want to wear grunt style T-shirts when
they're off duty. They're wearing their uniform
everywhere they can so that everybody thanks them for their
service, even though they're not necessarily going to go into
harm's way. This coin strikes right at that.
O 5 early G Watt America is bad ass.
Let's go kill all the bad guys. Even though I didn't sign up for
a kill the bad guys job and I'm not going to experience that
danger. That's what this is to me.
It is a person who's never been there.
This is a man who never served in the military, Cash Patel, who
never served in an armed law enforcement role.
And he has adopted the most like hard, but like, stupidly jokish
hard coin. And it's appropriately covered
in Raw Story of all places. So I'm going to talk about this
too. And this is actually a bigger
problem. This is a bigger issue that
there are serious issues in this country that are afoot.
There are there are unsolved crimes.
There is middle management within our most powerful and
quote UN quote prestigious law enforcement agency that he went
in there to correct. And what is he doing?
He's putting out this nonsense and handing out cigars to
subordinates and asking them to sue Kyle Seraphin because I'm
hurting his feelings. Action figure budget is too
high. Cash Patel dismantled for tacky
new FBI coin. This is written by Sarah Burst
over at Rawstory. We generally probably don't
agree with what they have to say, but doesn't really matter.
The FBI director has a challenge coin made displaying his name,
his personal logo. Again, when you put podcast
branding clowns and you make them in charge of serious jobs,
it's not shocking that they don't do a serious job.
Using the Marvel Punisher Insignia as the main shape of
the coin, Historically, the military would hand out small
medallions. They went by several names like
a military coin or a commander's coin.
I'll tell you what I'm going to back away from the mic for a
second here to to this one. I've got a couple challenge
coins sitting on the wall behind me.
You guys may not have seen this. They, they signify something.
They're usually coins like they're actually the shape of
coins. This is 1 I got for for
graduating from combat dive school.
I was actually really proud of this one.
This was a really hard school. I had a really high washout
rate. So I keep it.
It's a coin, it's a circle. It's got the, the, the badge,
the operational badge for the Air Force dive program,
combatant dive program. On the other side of it, it's
got the groups of people that go there.
There's basically two groups of people in the Air Force.
There's the green feet for para rescue and there's the lightning
bolt for combat control. And it's got the two flashes for
those two career fields first there that others may live.
This is a coin that I was super proud of when I graduated from
that school. I got it because of that.
Here's another one that I was handed.
I coordinated a walk that raised 10s of thousands.
I think it was like 50 or $80,000 worth of scholarship
monies, which was felt like a lot of money at the time,
especially because I had no social media.
And we raised a bunch of money for scholarships for fallen
warriors. And I had the first Sergeant,
the first Sergeant of the Air Force, the Pentagon's first
Sergeant. Sorry.
Hand me this coin. It's monstrous.
It's thick, it's heavy. It's still shaped like a coin.
It wouldn't fit well in your wallet.
On the back of it is the the command chief master Sergeant
rank. There's a couple of different
little operational pieces in here.
And on the front of it's, you know, some sort of warrior
figure and it just says headquarters, United States Air
Force Washington DCI really, really appreciated this too.
That man delivered meals, hot meals to troops in Afghanistan
on foot. So when they come over and hand
you a challenge coin, that means something.
It's pretty cool. What is Kash Patel challenged
anybody to what is the challenge there?
What is he accomplished? He gave out $50,000 to FBI
whistleblowers while he raised $1.3 million, and he somehow
funneled close to $600,000 into the operations of his
foundation, which by the way, has their logo on the coin.
I don't get it. I really don't.
Historically, these these challenge coins would be handed
out as a way to say thank you, to acknowledge something that
you did that may have been difficult.
Sometimes it's a stand in for what should have been a military
award or medal, But there's no political pressure to be able to
to to hand that thing out. So some men know that they were
handed a coin when there should have been an award that went
along with it. In the first administration,
Trump issued summit coins for his meeting with Kim Jong
Illinois. It drew mockery online, crashed
the White House gift shop, blah, blah, blah.
They're obviously critical of the Trump administration in
general, it appears. Patel, however, has used this to
highlight his own leadership at the FBI, but he's only been
there for a couple of months. The story goes is that he had a
different coin. It was a more traditional coin.
It was circular in shape. It displayed his name with a
dollar sign and a fading Gadsden flag.
And the new one is now this ridiculous Punisher.
It's funny that the the editor in chief at National Memo said J
Edgar Hoover was tacky, but this guy tops him again.
I think we could do an entire show of Haunted by Hoover.
Kash Patel has haunted by the ghost of Hoover and doing the
dumbest things possible. And these are unforced errors.
This goes along the same line as standing in front of a group of
people and telling a devout Christian man and his family who
passed away, who was murdered, that we're going to, we're going
to see you in Valhalla. A Hindu guy who allegedly has
some devotion to that tells a Christian evangelical, I'll see
you in Valhalla. Even though neither of them were
in the military, neither of them worked in a profession of arms.
I saw a guy online this weekend who said, if you come up to me
and say till Valhalla and we just got out of like, oh, we're
about to go into a firefight, then I get it.
But if you say till Valhalla because we just happened to meet
at a grocery store, I'm going to be waiting to be ambushed around
every single corner. Are there dudes that are hanging
out in the aisle with the canned peas that are ready to shoot me?
It's a misuse of certain things and trying to adopt warrior
culture is pretty absurd. It's silliness and he should be
embarrassed. The funny thing is, I don't know
if it's funny or sad or pathetic or what.
He's not actually embarrassed, not even a little bit.
And the, the thing that I'm looking for right now is I sort
of had a deal where I expose that the FBI called these
symbols, including the Punisher symbol identifiers of militia
violent extremists. Can I just, I'm going to see if
I can send it to my my computer in real time right now.
We had a whistleblower who was a legit warrior who did really
hard things for this country. And he exposed to me and to the
American people through Project Veritas.
Yeah, that Veritas, the one that that apparently James O'Keefe
thinks it's OK to, to sue me about.
They they showed this right here, OK.
And what you're seeing on that screen, which some of you may
recognize from years ago, this was one of the earlier
whistleblower disclosures I made prior to being a public figure.
This is an this is a unclassified law enforcement
sensitive militia violent extremist symbols guide.
OK, and let's just zoom in on this thing real quickly as you
guys can see that it's an FBI document, but let's just get to
the symbols guide. Let me pop this thing up here
and try to tighten up on what we're doing, because some of
this stuff is truly crazy. This is what got Ted Cruz all
heated up at one point. You guys remember that?
The Punisher, several varieties of the skull used by Three
Percenters, huh? Warrior culture, military themes
with historical and contemporary things like Spartans and
Valhalla. All of these things were defined
by the FBI previously to be problematic.
And now we've got this doofus who actually has no, who has no,
lays no claim to any of these types of cultures based on his
previous background. He's a freaking attorney from
New York who somehow like also is invested in a Chinese company
or, you know, he owns a big chunk of the ownership part of a
Chinese company, which we, we pointed out the other day.
There are real issues that this guy should be dealing with and
instead he's doing nonsense like weighing whether or not the FBI
is going to arrest and perp walk Jim comedy and and firing him.
I gave you I gave you a moment where I said that there was some
credit where credit's due because there are parts of what
this guy did that need to be done.
Like he removed a person from displaying a play a pride flag
while that person was on probation.
And that is obviously a political statement, but it's
not that impressive. How about the real issues that
exist inside the Bureau? Could we talk about January 6th?
Where's the pipe bomber? I'm hearing some seriously
upsetting things right now that we are going to find out a few
things. This is, this is speculative in
nature right now, but this is a kind of a compilation of what I
have heard is coming down the pipe.
I'm told that we are going to find out in the next couple
weeks that not only was the pipe bomber caught on video placing
the actual bombs, but actually replace them because this person
worked for one or more branches of federal government, was like
part of the federal government or there are more than one
person from various federal government agencies.
That's not going to be a shock to you guys.
It might be a shock that it's not an FBI agent.
But what I think actually happened, this is my speculation
again, so fully out here on the limb saying that I think this is
what went down. And I don't know how the
government continues when that happened, but the odds are it
will. We'll just swallow it up whole
because we have unserious clown shows running the FBI.
What I think happened on January 6th more and more is that there
was an inciting agency, a secret unit probably based on what I've
talked to Steve Baker, it sounds like there was an inciting unit
from DoD that actually caused people to react the way they did
and do things that they wouldn't otherwise do.
All those people that had those militia violent extremist
symbols all over their hats and their jackets.
And then we had a distractionary method that was put out by
another government department. We now have DoD potential
involvement and we also probably have DHS involvement.
And then we saw the Department of Justice go full bore with the
DOJ prosecutors and the FBI to do both cover up and prosecute
every single person that they could find.
And he's, he being the director of the FBI is trying to act like
they're super transparent today. Doing what?
Sharing information that was gathered by his agency that he's
decided to to cover for and act like it means something.
It doesn't. What in fact, what it was was an
attempt to get more funding for that agency.
And but for Donald Trump getting in, it probably would have
worked. But they're not dismantling it.
Let me give you a little interview that he did.
There's a couple of scary things on this because we have a non
serious person running the FBI. He sat down with Armstrong
Williams, who's been accused of all kinds of wild stuff by
Project Veritas. I can't validate any of that
stuff and their source seems real iffy to me.
So I haven't, I haven't touched that story at all, but Armstrong
Williams apparently owns the Baltimore Sun, sat down with
Patel and asked him about January 6th.
This is how that went. This is a bit of a longer clip,
but it's worth hearing. I'm going to give him all the
fairness to say it in his own words, and he's going to say
dumb things anyway. I.
Want to come to January 6th? It is intriguing that 250 FBI
plainclothe agents were inside the Capitol on January 6th.
I've saw the president's tweet. They get to the bottom of it.
Who placed them there? What were they doing?
Were they inciting violence? What can you tell us, Mr.
Direct? This is a great example of the
President's initiative to solve all the answers on January 6th,
and it's another example of our transparency efforts.
Pursuant to the President, we investigated the matter and
found out why FBI agents were placed there in the first place.
And it turns out we found documentation and witnesses and
whistleblowers that said we were forced to go there to do riot
control. Armstrong, do you know what the
FBI does not do ever? Riot control.
We don't do that. So the prior leadership sent 250
some odd men and women into a situation they're not trained
for, put them in harm's way, put the individuals out there in
harm's way. And also those individuals have
collectively responded or said beforehand that they were forced
to go there. They didn't volunteer to do
that. Can you believe?
It that's their word, not mine. That's what they reported,
that's what they wrote down at the time of and stated.
And we made those productions of Congress, which is the only
reason you know it, because I'm the only director that's willing
to work with Congress to get this information out there.
And so I think we are in a better position than we have
ever been in terms of transparency because of
President Trump's initiative to be that way, but also to we
fully investigate matters of great public importance like
January 6th. And we're going to continue on
all of those matters while we execute the the mission of
safeguarding this country. And if that's the thing I want
people to take away the most, I'm.
Going to just keep sniffing intermittently there.
I I have noticed that by the way, Tim in our chat pointed out
exactly he's not going to answer the question.
He didn't answer the question. That was not an answer for those
of you who are listening. What were they doing in the
crowd? He didn't say riot control.
Yes, I think that's what they tried to go there to.
But there's no evidence of FBI agents being involved in riot
control. As he said, they don't do riot
control. And he didn't actually clear up
the fact that these people were sent there after the fact, 3:00
PM and later. He didn't answer the question at
all. As I said, the theory of January
6th has always been so stupidly simplistic.
The FBI set it up. They set up the bully pins and
they knocked it down. That's silly.
That's not how compartmentalization works.
Wouldn't you want an elite group of people that know how to keep
their mouth shut, that are used to doing things in overseas
areas, go and set the the movement, set the actions in
motion, deniable units? That would be the way you would
do that. Wouldn't you want some other
group of people that were involved in a training exercise
to plausibly pull resources away?
That would be another way you would do it.
You wouldn't have the same people set up the conspiracy and
then also prosecute the conspiracy.
That would be stupid. That's not how you do things.
That's not how compartmentalization works,
where everybody has plausible deniability.
You think you'd get a bunch of people that would go up there
and, and, and willingly lie underoath?
I'm not saying you couldn't find FBI agents who would lie
underoath. You could definitely do that
because they're human beings for sure.
But I don't think you'd get nearly as many as you think.
I think there's plenty of people that wouldn't want it.
He didn't answer a single question there.
What he did was say, my leadership is amazing.
We're super transparent. We're giving you all the
information that no one's ever done before because we're fixing
the problem, even though we have no evidence of fixing the
problem. Donald Trump is the best because
he put me in charge and that's my job.
I have to basically go every single time and talk about how
he's great. And by the way, there's
something in my nose. That's what I got from it.
We're going to do a quick read for my friends over at Silent
right now. You know what would have saved a
bunch of people on January 6th? Having their their phones in a
Faraday bag. I don't mean to be that say that
in a light way or in a mean way, but it is true.
If you had your phone in a Faraday bag on January 6th, you
probably wouldn't have had them find you in the same way.
So there you go. Let's face it, your phone is a
tracking device. Many people found that out on
January 6th and other times, it doesn't matter if it's
government agencies or big tech or corporate data brokers or
even cyber criminals fighting for a piece of your digital
footprint. They don't have to ask.
They simply can take it. If it's the FBI, we found out
that bought it even though they're not supposed to be able
to get it without a search warrant.
That's why silent exists. I've got 1 sitting here on the
desk right now. This is the one that is holding
the phone during the show. slnt.com slash KYLESLN
t.com/kyle. Use that promo code at checkout.
Save yourself 15% on a well made Faraday product that actually
does what it's supposed to do. It blocks wireless signals,
cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth G PS, RFID, near field communication.
All these things are out there constantly looking to tell
somebody where you are. If you have no signal, it means
there's no tracking. That's what I use when I go on
bike rides with my kids. If I go to the pool and I just
want a moment of quiet, sometimes we're sitting at the
dinner table and I just need to unplug.
This is a good option too. It's actually easier than having
willpower to not look at your phone.
We are drawn to these damn things.
They build them that way. This is the same technology
that's trusted by special operations and
counterintelligence and intelligence operatives all over
the the globe. They use these signal blocking
technologies to avoid surveillance and to secure the
columns. Whatever the mission leads, If
you guys need something from silence, you should check them
out. They make outstanding backpacks
like what you're seeing on the screen.
I have two of them. I have used them for travel
almost exclusively. If I can carry a backpack and
not have to take a suitcase, that's what I do.
And I love this E3 everyday Faraday backpack because it has
crazy amounts of space and it's really, really well laid out.
And I'm a gear, I'm a gear queer.
I will just tell you I am very, very discriminating in what I
like. And I really like this one,
including my favorite thing is the the clasp on the chest.
It magnetically snaps in. So you could do it one handed,
which is a really big deal when you're moving around and you
realize I need to snap my backpack shut.
And also I only have one hand because my other hand is a
coffee cup or I'm holding my ticket or whatever else.
Drop your phone into a silent Faraday sleeve.
Get off the grid, get silent and be invisible to the outside
world. IA 100% back these things up.
I'm going to play you another thing that's somewhat scary.
Again, should we not have protectors?
Is that not the goal? I don't think they can really
protect us, but their goal is to basically enforce, enforce the
law and put the punishment that comes in through a judicial
process. And at the end of it is that
other people are supposed to be deterred from getting involved
in criminality. Or we could do extradition
punishment and nonsense. Here's where it gets really
scary for me. He's act.
They're talking about criminality in places, but I
don't think Cash understands even what the threat or the
nature of the threat looks like. And so we're doing this cartoon
back and forth where this goofball with these stupid
challenge coins is sitting down with his American flag socks.
And if you guys can't see it, he's got these really, really
loud American flag socks, and he wants to make this big
statement. The FBI director's job is to
disappear into the background, to simply just be a figurehead
that quietly gives leadership and guidance to an organization
that you really shouldn't hear that much from.
When the FBI is doing a good job, you don't hear about them.
When they're doing a crap job like they have been for the last
decade. We hear about them all the time.
It should not be in the news all the time.
It's not good for your agency. And you can't change the
American people's mind by simply showing up on a podcast and
talking about how we're going to go stop crime in all these
American cities. And then he even says words that
are not even words. Listen to this.
You have to. Recognize that there was an
explosion in violent crime and it didn't happen in a month or
six months. It happened over the course of
years due to the prior administration's laco daisical
approach against crime and violent.
The criminals took advantage of that.
So the FBI, under my leadership, we came in and said, OK, violent
crimes exploding. Everybody knows that.
We see that you can't walk around these cities anymore.
People are getting shot, kids are getting shot.
Drugs are killing our youth. We need to do what the FBI is
best at and crush violent crime. So we targeted all the major
cities in the country. We called our state and local
authorities and we said we need you all in as task force
officers. You have the ground level
intelligence. We have to attack the criminal
enterprises where they start and their entire spider web of
networks across the country. And that's the beauty of summer
heat. Is that the beauty of summer
heat? Really.
Did you guys catch that Laxical basical.
That's not even a word. Director Patel.
Look, it's hard to do this, but you're a professional.
You've been doing hundreds of interviews.
That's why you can't remember who Stu Peters is.
I remember you said you didn't know who he was because you were
too busy doing so many things. This is the same guy, and I'm
going to read this from you because he's got a bunch of
these tweets. This is the the same guy who
posted the following tweet up on X, which is where he seems to
spend a bunch of time on October the 4th.
Breaking. First of all, why is the FBI
director breaking news breaking? MSNBC is still an ass clown
factory of disinformation. The same circus animals that
slobbled over perp walks of Stone and Navarro and Bannon.
MSNBC has no facts and no audience.
That is my evidence to you that we are talking about a bootleg
budget version of Donald Trump. All of the bravado and none of
the follow through, none of the branding for decades.
Donald Trump built it up because he was independently wealthy, he
had a bunch of money and his brand was this 80s gaudiness of
gold and beautiful women in bikinis and I'll buy whatever I
want. And this sort of American
brashness during that time breaking.
MSNBC is still an ass clown factory of disinformation.
Are we serious here? How is this guy going to go out
in front of Congress? Do you realize that because of
the way that he's talked, he's going to implicate himself in a
bunch of these different cases that he keeps talking about
personally leading like the manhunt into the the assassin
for Charlie Kirk? It's crazy.
There are real problems with the FBI.
We covered them the other day. We talked about how a young
professional support employee who'd been at the FBI for a
period of time, then was going to go and move into a
probationary role to become a special agent.
When you change jobs, you can get a new probation time.
Displayed a pride pride flag and thought that was fine.
When I told you that the issues in the FBI are not just the top
management and they're not just the people at the street level.
The real, real rot is this GS15 to senior SES level people whose
names you've never heard of. I'm going to play you someone
whose names you've never heard of until he resigned because he
was friends with Peter Strzok and he was told that he was part
of the problem. The issue is, is not one guy.
It's not one guy who's part of the problem.
It's all the guys that did this job, which is almost all of
them. There may be one or two that
would get swept out that would have been useful to keep, but
they should all go. And the argument I made to Patel
before he became the FBI director and started doing
Punisher coins like a dummy is that the right answer is sweep
out the middle management and everybody in the Senior
Executive Service should be put somewhere where they can't hurt
anybody until they go and resign or they become, you know,
whatever retired. That was the right answer.
This is Michael Feinberg. He was AGS 15, an ASAC, an
assistant special agent in charge in the FBII got the post
wrong over the weekend. So I was corrected by former FBI
agent and I'll acknowledge that up front.
I I misread this. I did.
I actually thought he was more senior than he was.
He's AGS 15. That is when I was a brick
agent. That would have been my boss's
boss. This is the person that sets
policy at the field office. They are the probably the
biggest authority that you deal with.
You don't deal with the special agent in charge.
They come and go. The ASAC is the person that runs
whether or not you're going to get funding for your program,
what the priorities are in the mission for your particular
squad, how you're going to be judged.
That person is the one that is making sure that the SES gets
his bonus and so they hold you accountable.
This is the most dangerous person in the FBI and he's out
here defending, quote UN quote, free speech and your sexual
orientation, you know, celebrations, which I'm pretty
sure I've read the Constitution. It wasn't in there.
Maybe he just made-up his own version of the Constitution.
This is the Constitution that they were defending.
Again, this is the real problem. Meanwhile, spiders in your eyes
on a Punisher skull coin. Insane on so many levels that I
don't know where to begin or how to demarcate all the different
tiers of inanity that this signifies, but I'll do my best.
First of all, the FB is mission statement is to uphold the
Constitution of the United States and protect the American
people. The Constitution has certain
guarantees under the 1st and 14th Amendment that protects
people's right to speak and protects their sexual
orientation. There are Hatch Act
considerations that prohibit certain types of political
advocacy by a federal employee, but a pride flag implicates none
of those. You know, for every year I was
in the FBI during Pride Month, every single FBI field office
and every single DOJ building would fly the pride flag
outside. So what this employee was doing
was not at all out of line, out of the norm, or at all
inappropriate. And that's where we're going to
have to break from you. It was 100% inappropriate.
It was inappropriate for the field office.
It was a political statement, no question in my mind.
But it wasn't out of the norm. I do agree with that part.
And that is why the Bureau needed to be gutted.
That is why a serious person who wrote a book called Government
Gangsters and understood the nature of this government entity
that we thought was going to come in and de weaponize it,
deconstruct the problems. That guy was supposed to show up
and instead we got this ass clown to quote him from his own
post. What did he call them?
Ass clowns of misinformation. Ass clown factory of
disinformation. That's actually correct.
That's what we have as an FBI director.
An ass clown factory of disinformation using cash.
Patel's own words. Now allow me to show you the
most dangerous version of this, please.
This is the scariest piece in that interview where he didn't
answer the question about January 6th and he did go out
and claim a bunch of nonsense about crime and how they were
going to use intelligence. By the way, you hear him say the
word intelligence, the single most dangerous thing that gets
done by the FBI. Here he is telling you the real
problem, and this is a real problem.
How can you have rigid obedience to the Constitution of the
United States of America as your number one goal, which is
something he said he would do underoath when he went out and
he was being confirmed. How do you do that?
And then you also claim that we have too much speech in this
country and we really need to regulate social media.
And he would like to work with Congress to make that happen.
Does anyone know what the 1st Amendment actually stands for
in, in anywhere in our federal government at this point?
Yeah. The Trump, the Trump
administration, they have the same problem that the last one
did. Again, they are trying to turn
over the ring of power and wield it properly because now our guys
have it. Paul King told us this.
Somebody will cut your damn hand off, they'll take the ring and
they will use it for the other piece.
And I'm not real crazy about the way that you might wield it
because you seem to be problematic in the 1st place.
Cash Patel, in his own words, in an interview, telling us that
social media is a problem. Look, I don't like it any better
than anybody. And if you guys were to wipe it
off the face of the earth, I would be psyched.
But that's got to be done by God and man and not the government,
it turns out, because the government has no ability to
regulate that, and they shouldn't.
Can we just simply agree that the First Amendment means that
you have the freedom to speak and to assemble and to practice
your religion, and everyone needs to stay out of it?
And especially like Director Valhalla here.
The simple answer, in my opinion, is social media is
wildly out of control and there's too much clickbait in
this country. And one of the things I
highlighted Congress in my testimony last week was if we
want to protect our youth, we got to get more involved in
social media and online platforms because that's where
the folks, the assassins of this world, get radicalized.
That's where they're the long road after in general.
And so we have to to get after that problem set.
And I asked for Congress to help in doing so.
But Speaking of Charlie Kirk, who was a very dear friend of
mine. And then I was tasked with
leading the nationwide manhunt to find the perpetrators
involved. Of course, we were going to use
every resource we have to find every single person involved in
the investigation still ongoing. But we as one of the pillars of
my leadership here at the FBI is transparency.
We've produced more documents to Congress than my last two
predecessors combined by two fold, just to put it in
perspective. So when we take our
investigations out to the streets, I have the same ethos.
And this is how we got Charlie Kirk's assassin, alleged
assassin so fast. The the Boston Marathon bomber
which happened in downtown Boston during the Boston
Marathon took five days and there was a police officer was
killed in that manhunt. Luigi Mangione, who allegedly
murdered an individual, the CEO of the healthcare company in
downtown Manhattan in broad daylight, took five days to find
him. Our investigation is very much
ongoing, but we've also, Armstrong, in an unusual thing,
put out publicly. More information as to what we
found because of it is of such public importance.
The flip side of that is the social media.
People get involved and they come run with their crazy
conspiracy theories because it makes them money.
It gives them click bait and I don't work for them and I don't
respond to them. My duties to the American
people. If there was anyone else
involved in Charlie Kirk's murder, you can look at our
record. We'll find them and we'll get
them. I'm so nauseated by that clip on
every level. It was all about me and I'm so
great. And I was better than the Boston
Marathon task force that went after a complex plan of two guys
that were running around and a drop bombs and actually like
really, really got away with something pretty awful.
Destroyed a bunch of lives in a public way with a huge crime
scene that was destructive to like dozens and dozens of of
people's physical bodies. And we're better than Luigi
Manioni in New York. He's going to basically score it
up to the amount of time. How about you did it in Orem, UT
where the local police went and ran down a person?
Because there's only like a couple 1000 people that live
like the entire state of Utah. It's not that big.
There are more people in Manhattan than there are in Utah
as far as I can tell. You guys double check me on the
facts, but I bet I'm pretty close on that.
Just jumping off the off the cuff.
So you had a much smaller haystack.
So what? And a much more obvious pattern.
It's always about him, isn't it? Isn't that amazing?
I've never heard an FBI director make it about themselves.
Whenever your team does a great job, you, you praise the team.
It's craziness. All right, before I get deeper
than that, let me just break over and let you know.
If you're not watching on Spotify, you guys are missing
out. If you're listening to this and
you're not seeing some of the visuals, there's a bunch there.
Kyle seraphinshow.com. Super easy.
You don't even have to download the app, but if you do, I think
it's worth your time. It's easy to sweep between video
and audio. You can also join us over on
locals at kyleseraphin.com. If you guys want to support and
be part of our community when we talk about the stuff after the
fact, we have posts on there. If you're watching anywhere,
make sure you guys like and you share it and you subscribe over
on YouTube and Rumble. I'm seeing numbers go up on both
those sides. We really appreciate that broke
14,000 as we predicted, as you guys made it happen over the
weekend. So that was really cool.
It's it's a very small growth pattern over at YouTube, but we
are getting people to start watching over there too.
So if you watch on YouTube, I appreciate you guys and and I'm
not done with this story. Again, there are real problems
in this country, no doubt about it, serious problems.
What we don't have are serious people that are dealing with it.
And that's really obvious to me. Here's another good story of
this. There's a woman who got two
federal charges for ramming United States custom and Border
Protection agents with her SUV in Chicago.
This is in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division.
A woman is accused of trying to forcibly assault, resist,
oppose, impede, intimidate and interfere with folks who are
doing their lawful duty as federal agents.
This shouldn't be that big of a question, but because we live in
an unserious time, because we have this clown show who's
running the FBI, we get this sort of thing going.
Like, hey, did it even happen when you destroy your
credibility by putting out challenge coins with the
flipping punisher on them like a like a 19 year old enlisted
grunt style dummy? And yes, I used to work with
those people. I used to bunk with those guys
and they're great kids. They're just children when
you're 45. And putting those out, it makes
people ask questions like, hey, is this government up to the
job? The answer probably is no.
The answer is, I hope we solve this locally.
But of the few things that I do think the federal government
actually belongs, getting involved in this deportation
work is critical. If we're going to regain any
semblance of normalcy in this country, it has to happen.
It's the, it's the tourniquet that stops the bleed out of of
America falling apart. It's the, it's the the massive
hemorrhage in the March assessment.
For those of you that understand emergency medicine, it needed to
be stopped. And the people who are here that
are both bleeding us dry on resources and involving
themselves in criminal activity because they already started
criminal activity by coming here.
Those people got to go. And so for the weirdos that are
out there trying to resist this and the the crazy white lady
liberals or leftist loonies that are out there that want to ram
into an ICE vehicle or ACBP vehicle to try to stop them from
deporting people, they endanger everyone.
At least we've got a real billionaire, in his own words,
JB Pritzker, basically calling into doubt on all this.
And the problem is because of the unserious nature of the
people that are handling the problem, because of the border
Barbie types, the Christie gnomes who puts on a bunch of
makeup and then gets kicked out of Target and doesn't get to use
the bathroom. And they make a big show of it.
And everything they do is on Fox News.
People aren't taking them seriously.
And there's not enough middle ground of like regular people
just doing their effing jobs. Just get to work.
Stop talking about it. Stop going out and doing this
because you're giving fodder for this clown.
Here's Jake Tapper talking to the governor of Illinois,
basically calling it out everything.
And the other problem is, is some of what Cash just said
about social media is actually correct.
There are a bunch of grifters out there that put out fake
things, including a video of someone ramming a vehicle.
And apparently that wasn't the right vehicle.
That wasn't the right actual footage because the woman who
was doing the ramming was in a silver Nissan Rogue.
So if you guys have seen that video on social media, it's
probably the wrong one. And then there was also
apparently a dark pickup truck that was involved and an unknown
other vehicle. And the videos that I've seen
that claimed to be this incident in Chicago, they weren't it.
Governor Pritzker, what's your response to Secretary GNOME?
And as a practical matter, since you oppose this troop
deployment, is there anything you can do?
Well, good morning, Jake. And let me just say that the
secretary doesn't know what she's talking about.
She frankly says that people are clapping.
They're not. They're booing her on the street
and they're booing ICE and CBP. They're marching.
The CBP marching on a beautiful Sunday in Michigan Ave. in
downtown Chicago, they're raiding neighborhoods where
instead of going after the bad guys, they're just picking up
people who are brown and black and then checking their
credentials. Are you AUS citizen?
I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that
say I'm AUS citizen. So you can imagine people are
getting detained, they're getting arrested, U.S. citizens.
And they did this, of course, when they raided a building in
the middle of the night in South Shore, 130 people that were
emptied out of this building that they were going after a few
gang members. And instead, they broke windows,
they broke down doors, they ransacked the place.
And there were people that were held.
I mean, elderly people and children, zip tied, elderly
people held for three hours at a time.
They are the ones that are making it a war zone.
They need to get out of Chicago. If they're not going to focus on
the worst of the worst, which is what the president said they
were going to do, they need to get the heck out.
Governor Pritzker, what's your response to Secretary Gnome and.
Heyjackass.com guys know it. Check it out once a week or so.
Why don't you look at this? Here's Hey Jackass, here's
October. We just started October.
We're on the 6th day of October. There have been eight people
shot and killed with 9 total homicides in Chicago alone.
On average, somebody is shot every four hours and change and
someone is murdered in Chicago on an average of every 19 hours
and 3 minutes. That means that there are more
than one homicide happening on average per week, which is how
you end up with 9 / 6 days in in October.
You guys tracking this? This guy is going to lecture us
about what happens. Guess what?
Law enforcement locks people up when they serve a lawful
warrant, which by the way, we are degrading the authority of
all of those capabilities. We are not looking at people and
saying, ah yes, this is a federal agent, this is a law
enforcement action. This is our police and we have
trust in them. The left spent years and years
degrading them. Cash was not wrong about it.
The right is not fixing it any better.
So I don't think there is a left or a right.
It's just my team and your team. And I hate both teams.
I despise them. It's really easy to do because
in the place that this guy is talking about, people are being
murdered on a raid on over one a day.
Maybe he should spare us, but we could at least make it about
racism. Would that be fun?
Let's do that. Let's see if we can do CNN
making it about racism because historically slavery or
something. American citizens that were drug
out of their homes and detained and put through something that
they should not have had to go through.
And when we are having a conversation about how customary
it is to detain someone, I want people to remember the historic
implications of that for Black people.
OK, hold on, Hold on. Wait.
What would be? Wait, Don't let me wait.
Wait. Let me ask you.
Let me ask you honestly, what would be the is the alternative
to go in there and say, OK, guys, raise your hand.
If you are an American citizen and we're gonna let you out of
here, do you trust people to be honest?
Is that the alternative? No.
Yeah, the alternative is for law enforcement to do their job.
Yes, that's what they're doing. Attaining the right and.
How do they detect? How do they that they have to
see the papers? Yeah, the the alternative is for
law enforcement. They have and not like the.
Rihanna, Rihanna, one second you walk down the street.
When you walk down the street and let's say hypothetically a
law enforcement person came up to you and said, are you a U.S.
citizen? What are you going to say?
Well, that's not the. Question.
No, no. Let me ask you if they if they
said that to you. But like, what if we just
made-up a scenario that wasn't the scenario?
What if it wasn't that these people had a search warrant for
a specific premise with certain people named because they were
known to be in that area? What if it didn't involve
surveillance to identify that those people were actually in
there and they had probable cause to believe that the people
that they were looking for in the search warrant who met the
probable cause definition of whatever the crime was that
those people were actually where they were?
What if we just made-up a news story where a random cop asks
you if you're AUS citizen? So we just had a governor say,
yeah, even though there's evidence that says this thing
happened, that the the chief of patrol for the Chicago PD said
we are not going to intervene in a violent criminal action, which
is in fact a state level crime, that we're just going to ignore
it. And we're just going to act like
that actually didn't happen despite evidence to the
contrary. Here he was again with Jake
Tapper, saying there's a lot of, there's like not very many
details about this situation. DHS says that CBP officers shot
and wounded a woman in Chicago yesterday after they say she
allegedly rammed a law enforcement vehicle and agents
were boxed in by multiple cars. The spokesperson for DHS, Tricia
McLaughlin, accused Chicago police of leaving the scene and
refusing to assist agents in securing the area.
What do you know about this incident?
Were federal agents boxed in and assaulted?
Well, we don't have a lot of facts.
What happens in these sorts of incidents is typically ICE puts
out a press release before anybody else can speak with the
press, and then it gets reported on social media and elsewhere.
Remember, these are the same folks who killed a person, a
unarmed person, just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park.
At first, they said that the officer had been threatened with
his life. The reality of it and the truth
of it has now come out, and that wasn't the case.
They killed somebody. So here it's really so.
This other thing happened which was totally unrelated by people
who were not involved in this incident.
And then I'm going to tell you in very vague details that they
killed somebody, but we're not going to discuss whether or not
it was justifiable homicide or whether there was something that
should have been done. Meanwhile, Bill Maluzion
reported this. This is a picture of a computer
aided dispatch terminal. This is a photograph of
somebody's screen from Chicago PD that says for October 2025 at
1236 and 47 seconds, a dispatch went out that said the following
quote flees chief of patrol. No units will respond to this as
related caller is one of approximately 30 armed Border
Patrol agents parentheses ICE, who are being surrounded by a
large group of people requesting CPD and they're not going to
respond. And the result was shots fired
by federal agents because they got to do what they got to do to
get out of there. And they do have a right to be
there. And we do have a supremacy
clause. And even though I think we
should depoliticize all of it, I'm not going to question the
guy in the like on the ground doing the work at that moment.
In fact, there are people, probably more people who should
be shot, who do really dangerous things because we've actually
taught our cops the wrong lessons, that when it's their
life on the line or other people's lives on the line, they
are actually reticent to act. I know that for a fact because I
experienced it myself when I was in Portland.
I would have been, I, I assumed unnecessary risk when six people
surrounded my vehicle and we're going to talk about Portland in
just a second. I looked out there and said, if
I take a shot at one of these people whose hands keep darting
into their waistband and I don't know what they're going to come
up with. Who are wearing like what
appears to be body armor and tactical vests at 11:00 at night
on a, on an abandoned city street where nobody else needs
to be. After knowing from FBI dispatch
that one of these idiots had gotten my license plate number
and it was called out by someone wearing a hat that said National
Lawyers Guild, the FBI has all this information for all this
nonsense that you hear Cash Patel talking about.
How come we haven't seen mass arrests of the people that were
involved in the Antifa protests and, and the riots that happened
five years ago that happened in September and October and
November of 2020? And the statute of limitations
on that conspiracy is not over yet.
And many of them are still acting today, I guarantee it,
because they don't have any jobs.
They don't have anything else they do.
They just occupy that city. This is a, a video of a law
enforcement officer responding to the shooting that happened at
the church in Michigan. This was the LDS church that
happened in Michigan. I want you to hear how many
people are calling for, you know, drop it and put your hands
up. The reason they're doing that is
because they are not confident that if they take the shot or if
they even have the shot at all, some of them couldn't probably
do it. But they don't have the skill
set or they don't have the, the, the knowledge that their
department is going to back them up if they do the thing that
needs to be done. And so they are endangering
their own lives and more bystanders by not shooting the
person who carries a weapon and has already demonstrated that
they have crossed the threshold for deadly force.
The strictly speaking, federal definition for use of deadly
force is the same that the FBI uses all the DOJ entities use.
And broadly speaking, it is pretty much the same when it
comes to whether or not they're going to get hit with a federal
crime. Now, they may have their own use
of force policies within their their agencies, but they should
not have something that is too restrictive to stop an active
shooter who is actively shooting people.
But they know that they're going to get destroyed.
They know their life will be over and that their career is
probably toast again. The the OJ policy, which I've
had to say thousands of times, states that law enforcement
officers at the Department of Justice may use deadly force
only when necessary. That is when the subject of sex
force, the person you're shooting, poses an imminent
danger of death or serious physical injury to yourself or
to another person. Watch this video.
You tell me why did they not shoot?
And I'll tell you, it's because the system is broken and it's
not about they're they're the furthest thing from punishers.
What they are is people who realize that they don't even
have the ability to do their own job, which is protection.
Listen to the volume of shooting too.
OK, Coffee's coming up, has an AR.
I got your back back here man. Hey, he's moving in with the two
man team. Why is he yelling?
Give him the ground, shoot him. That's it.
Get back. Get back.
From the time he said shoot him, listen to how many more shots
are fired. Drop back.
Drop the gun. No, drop him.
Now you have. The guy doesn't have.
It. That is not a great firing
position when you have dudes in front of you less than 10° out
to the right and to the left. I get it, it's a rifle, but this
is a training problem too. That cop should have pushed up
and created a common firing line.
Why are we not teaching things like this?
He said shoot him. You don't give commands when
someone has already shown the propensity to start taking human
lives. It's over at that point in time.
You can shoot them when they draw the weapon.
Period. We're not we're not empowering
our law enforcement to do law enforcement when there's
something so critical like this. So how in the world are you
going to say that these guys are going to go out there and act
like, you know, in in some dangerous manner?
It's crazy to me to think that we have this bizarre sense of
entitlement that you should be able to like start shooting up a
church and then you should be taken into custody.
No. And so all this idea about
Portland and all the things that are going on this this quote UN
quote, federal troops coming in, their stories about that that
are that are invading it. A lot of it comes down to is
because we've emasculated the men who are willing to stand in
the gap and do the thing that is very dangerous.
What those guys did is crazy dangerous, including shooting
right past their own guys. All it took was the guy on the
right that's on the screen right now that you see next to the
tree, him deciding to get a better firing position 1 foot to
the left when he starts catching rounds from his buddy in the
back. That could be very, very easily
done. That's why you establish common
firing line. But we're not going to critique
people who are trying to get it done.
What we're going to say is, is they don't have the right
training. Obviously that is something that
should have been hard wired in and they don't have the, the,
the rules of engagement or the deadly force policy or use of
force policies that like enable them to do the work that we
expect them to do. Maybe that's why you end up with
stories like this as the the cops see what's the use of
taking these people doing anything.
You go catch somebody who is trying to kill a Supreme Court
Justice and not only do they get a super light sentence, but you
get this weird affirmation period.
I'm going to steal this from Jesse Waters piece only because
the story of what the judge said is as crazy as anything else.
Our justice system is broken. The answer is not an an FBI
director with a Punisher skull pretending and Larping that he's
now a freaking Marvel action hero.
Fox News alert Kavanaugh's wannabe trans assassin Nicholas
Roske was sentenced today eight years in prison for trying to
kill a Supreme Court Justice. Eight years.
Prosecutors were asking for 30. That's a big difference.
Why? Well, you'd have to ask Judge
Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee who thinks this isn't
an assassination story. It's a story of trans
acceptance. Quote, heartened that this
terrible infraction has helped the Roski family accept their
daughter for who she is. During the hearing, Boardman
asked Roski, Miss Roski, have you read the sentencing report?
And in a deep, booming baritone, Roski said yes.
Boardman called Roski by his new name, Sophie, and grilled the
DOJ about sending Sophie to a woman's prison and giving him
hormone therapy. Is this lady serious?
She just gave a guy 10 years for wire fraud.
Is wire fraud worse than trying to kill a Supreme Court Justice?
It is if the Assassin's trance. So there you have it.
It's one example, but there are countless examples of the crazy
gaslighting. And This is why our justice
system is broken down. But the answer is not cartoons
and freaking action hero nonsense.
I thought we were getting serious people and to do serious
work. We're not getting that.
Here's another story. It happens in all the major
outlets right now. CBSABCNBC all covering this
judge blocks Trump administration from sending any
National Guard troops into Oregon for now.
I thought we already settled this in California.
Apparently we did not. A federal judge late on Sunday
temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying
National Guard units into Oregon after a legal whirlwind that
began hours earlier when the president mobilized California
troops for Portland. After the same judge blocked him
from using Oregon troops and Oregon National Guard troops the
same day during hasty phone hearing, the US District Court
Judge Karen Embergut. Yes, it's Karen with an eye.
Though granted a temporary restraining order sought by
California and Oregon earlier that day, the same judge
temporarily blocked administration from deploying
Oregon National Guard troops into Portland.
But on Sunday, the president moved to send National Guard
troops from the neighboring state, California, and then from
Texas. Emmergood, who was appointed by
Trump in his first term, issued her second, more sweeping order
late on Sunday after she upgraded the federal
government's attorney and questioned how the move to send
California and Texas troops to Oregon was not in direct
contravention to the order that was issued the day before.
Great, great. So the locals aren't going to do
it. And Portland is a captured area.
Having worked there even briefly, it was very clear to me
how stupid this was, how dangerous this is.
I've seen exactly what goes down.
What you're going to end up having is these people who do
not have a continuum of force, who do not have the ability to
respond to riots, which Kash Patel accurately stated in his
interview. The FBI doesn't do riot control
and neither does Border Patrol, really.
That's just not what they're built to do.
That's not how they're empowered.
That's not how they're trained. Their job is to bring and do
apprehension of illegal aliens, what by whatever means needs to
be done. And the biggest tool they have
on their on their, their belt is almost always going to be deadly
force. So someone's going to die from
this. I can tell you right now it will
100% be the case. And in the meantime, Democrats
have acted like the the government shutdown, which I
tell you, the Republicans should own.
They've acted like it was about what the Republicans are super
mean and dangerous and they're doing bad things and nobody
should play this game. Meanwhile, the Republicans are
saying, well, it's about illegal aliens getting healthcare and we
just don't want to add that back into the bill.
You guys are nuts. And they said, well, it's not
about that. How many people have we heard
say it's not about that? Hakeem Jeffries, Schumer, Maxine
Waters, Pelosi, you name it, they were cheering this on not
too long ago. The things that they are active
that they're crying about and saying it is not actually
happening. Of course they were cheering it
on. Just depends on who's who's in
the executive office. Also, starting January 1st,
California will become the first state in the nation to offer
health insurance to undocumented immigrants.
Under the expansion, more than 700,000 people between the ages
of 26 and 49 will be eligible for medical.
CBS 8 Rosita de la Fey takes to look at the new law and how
immigrant rights advocates are reacting.
Immigrant rights advocates called the expansion of
healthcare for undocumented immigrants a major milestone in
California. This is really major step in in
California. Advocates for immigrant rights
are celebrating A monumental victory in the fight for more
inclusive healthcare. I'm so grateful.
Again, I think it's really, really important to think about
how big of precedent this is for the entire nation.
Nettie Velasquez is the border policy coordinator at Alliant
San Diego. She's a DACA recipient who has
been fighting and advocating for health expansion for years.
A lot of undocumented people and you know, a lot of low income
people because they don't have access to these resources, they
wait until the very end to to hopefully receive some care.
And by then it's too late. And we shouldn't have to have
people, you know, waiting until they're feeling I'll to go to
the doctor. We should have preventative
care. And that's why this is so
important. Those who are eligible will be
able to qualify for medical, the state's health insurance program
for low income individuals, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, right? So lie, lie, lie.
Everybody lies on both sides. We get it.
Remember right now you've got Portland in a mess.
And what is the mess for? Oh, the mess is because they're
really mad about nobody is illegal and immigrant rights and
illegal aliens are people, too, and they should be able to get
healthcare, whatever other crazy nonsense.
Remember when I was there, it was because black people are
being killed. Stop killing black men.
I have. I have pictures of banners that
were up all over the city of Portland that said these are the
black men who have been killed by law enforcement.
And I looked up some of them, and it's like, yeah, because he
drew a gun. K Holes.
They had a freaking protest right across the street from the
hotel where a bunch of FBI agents were staying.
And right in the parking lot, they were burning things.
And it was because there was some kid who robbed a
convenience store with a revolver, then ran a few blocks
away directly in front of the hotel, drew a gun on cops and
then was put down. Not like what you saw at the LDS
Church. They did it right away,
apparently, And that was the problem.
The Trump administration apparently is discussing sending
quote UN quote, elite army divisions to Portland.
Text messages show this is a story that's being reported by
the Minnesota Star Tribune. This is actually funny for a lot
of reasons. A high-ranking White House
official indiscreetly texting about Portland, OR.
What I found out for the first time, and, and this is news to
me because I was not previously unaware of this, is that the
82nd Airborne is an elite Army division.
For those of you that were in the Army, could you please weigh
in on this? Is the 82nd an elite, the Army
division? The message casually exchanged
last weekend in a crowded public space show high level officials
in the Trump administration discussing the deployment of the
Army's 82nd Airborne and Infantry Division that has been
deployed to combat zones in both world wars, Vietnam and
Afghanistan. Yeah, we know what the 82nd is.
The administration would ascend the Army Division.
It would almost certainly be challenged under the court
because there are federal laws that say how the military can be
and cannot be used. This is the posse comataz
situation. Got it.
They ordered National Guard troops into Portland, but not
the 82nd Airborne, as you guys found out, a Trump, Trump
appointed judge shut it down. The guy's name is Anthony
Salisbury. He's a deputy of the White
House. Top policy adviser Stephen
Miller sent text messages on Signal while traveling in
Minnesota and in clearview of other people, which is what's
going on. This is a tactic known as social
engineering. If you guys are not familiar
with it, they actually teach this stuff when you go to law
enforcement academies that if somebody can look over your
shoulder, they are socially engineering and getting access
to your information. They don't have to crack your
stuff. They can simply stand above you
and take a picture. You should have what's known as
situational awareness, particularly if you're
discussing really sensitive policies like sending in troops
into places that are in open revolt against America.
That wouldn't be that hard. There's some really funny stuff
in this, including he goes off topic and says in a he wrote
that JD Vance wanted to pursue criminal cases against 2 Florida
influencers who are, quote, UN, quote, preaching violence.
I don't think that people are necessarily doing that.
There is already a law for incitement to violence.
He didn't say what the what the pair's identity was.
And the prosecutors apparently declined those cases.
In a separate exchange, this guy, Anthony Salzburg celebrated
FBI Director Cash Patel's decision to fire several agents
who were photographed kneeling in 2020.
He suggested that Trump would approve of the action and then
insulted Patel. He said this is how Cash
survives. Quote, he will do this stuff for
the man, but day-to-day he's a giant douche canoe not well
thought of within the administration, I imagine.
Why? Because he has things like this
going on, because this is part of it.
Now, I don't know where Pete Hegseth falls in with Trump's
love or or dislove, but he seems to be getting the thing and
getting the message that, hey, the only way you fix this is by
fixing the actual mechanisms in the machine.
So that's why this story rings really true for me.
And it makes me kind of laugh that this is even controversial
today when you guys go see women try to fight cops or Border
Patrol agents and they get immediately manhandled and it's
really easy. This should tell them everything
they need to know about whether or not we should have troops
that are women in combat. There are a small number of
women that can fight at the same level of men, a small number.
But the number of women that are that are able to do that and
also want to do that, I think it's also pretty small.
What Pete Hegg says military fitness rules may mean for women
service members. I'm not degrading any of you
that have served. I don't actually care.
I'm talking about as a writ large decision by society.
Isn't it reasonable that we just accept that for thousands of
years people understood what was and what was not war and what
that physical conflict look like?
We had a discussion, me and one of our listeners who are
remaining analysts, but you guys can guess who it is over the
weekend about engaging with female pilots who have destroyed
targets on behalf of the United States government and this
person engaged with directly. And I get it.
The question then has to be, did that woman meet the same
physical standard as the man who didn't get that job?
We need to ask that question for all the left cared about equity
and and equality and fairness. Did we actually go out there and
do that? Look, if you physically can do
the same level of whatever the physical requirements are, and
then you also meet the academic and you meet all that, like if
you do all the things equally, great, great.
You'll never hear me complain about that.
And there are a couple women I've met who are able to do
that. Serious studs.
We had a woman that was in the the FBI who was like one of the
two examples, like shining examples.
One was in my Quantico class. She outshot almost every man,
including me. She outshot me by a lot.
She was disgustingly good. Kristen was a stud hands down
and she could fight. I didn't have a problem with
her. She was also one of however many
there were. She was the only one.
And I also met a woman who was a former ER nurse.
She had done trauma responses and she was an eco challenge
participant for National Geographic.
Like went all over the country, went all over the world, climbed
mountains, did like super hard stuff that most men that I know
that are my age probably still couldn't even do.
She was probably more physically fit and capable and aggressive
than a lot of dudes. So no prom, no qualms, none at
all. But shouldn't that just be a no
brainer that the standard is the standard?
And that's what it is, Not because we want people there,
but because you have to actually meet it so that you're safe, so
the people around you can actually do the work.
One of the things that I always did, I was 160 something pounds
when I was in the Air Force, when we did training, I almost
always paired up with my buddy Matt.
Matt was like 65 and 250. Matt was a monster.
He was huge. And I was like, Matt with no,
you know, that was Matt in in Silkies, not Matt wearing his
gear. And every single time we did a
buddy carry, I'd pick his big heavy ass up and I'd run him
across the damn field like you'd expect.
Little battle dwarf that I was with, this dude just lopped over
me with his fingers dragging in the grass and his boots scraping
on the ground. So what?
I'd scoop him up with one arm over and the other one free for
a weapon system and I'd run his ass up and down to 100 yards and
then he'd pick me up and run like a rag doll and it'll be no
big deal. Why?
Because if I needed to move Maddie out of a freaking combat
zone, I need to be able to pick up the biggest, heaviest dude
there. And he's not the biggest dude in
the military, but he was a pretty good sized guy.
He was a good stand in for it. So I always challenged myself
and then he just didn't challenge himself because he was
bigger than everybody, so he might as well pick up someone
small and fast. That's how it works.
In a speech during the week, Pete Hegseth announced that the
implementation of a new fitness standard for the military, by
the way, that's only rolling it back like 10 years.
Like that used to be the standard.
That used to be the the assumption.
In his Hegseth, he emphasized gender neutral standards and
general neutral testing for men and women to meet the same
minimal minimum physical requirements.
And apparently that was really controversial.
We've covered it now three times.
If women can't make it, if they can make it excellent, and if
not, it is what it is. That's the answer.
That's the only answer. If that means that women do not
qualify for some combat jobs, so be it.
That's not the intent, but it could be the result, he said.
I don't want my son serving with troops who are out of shape or
in a combat unit with females who cannot meet the same combat
arms physical standards as men. Shouldn't you also want that
too, ladies? Shouldn't it just be about
merit? Shouldn't it have always been
about merit? Should there ever have been any
play in this game? Here you go.
Some lady who has expertise and sexual discrimination in the
military said to me. Heck, Seth wants a military to
look a certain way, which is definitely male and muscular.
It seems like his expectation is that once they enforce the more
rigorous standards, women will be pushed out.
I'm going to just go ahead and pop that lady's bubble.
That is 100% the case. My wife is tiny.
She cannot even move with me on her back and I'm not that big.
We do this joke every once in a while.
She was like, Oh my God, what would happen if there was a fire
and you were unconscious? I'm like, then I'm dead.
Get the kids out because you can't pick me up.
You can't even drag me out. Probably even on a, on a, on a
floor that's smooth. It's very unlikely.
Call a call a firefighter. Hopefully it's a man that shows
up and can drag me with one hand because I can drag 160 LB dummy
with one hand. I've done it a bunch.
It's one of the things they make you do.
It's really not that hard to say that this should be a no
brainer. And again, there are thousands
of years of human evolution to say otherwise.
If you didn't show up to be hard and aggressive and, and, and be
challenged physically to a standard that is not flexible
and doesn't matter, the hell are we doing here?
Donald Trump said he was reawakening the warrior spirit.
That's the way you do it. Standards requiring certain
things of people you don't do it with this this doesn't awaken
any warrior spirits. This sounds the freaking the the
the horn to open the gates of Valhalla.
Apparently I think that's what this this this challenge coin is
with the barrels of gun as teeth.
I think you can use it to unlock the gates of Valhalla in the
fictional world. The comic book that Cash Patel
apparently lives in. We're so silly right now.
I told you I'd talk about the government shutdown.
There's a reason why we have an opportunity right now.
We people who are not on the left and the right anymore, like
we're, we're like post partisans, all of you united.
Here's why this is my favorite. The CBS News poll founds that
few people are feeling the shutdown is worth it.
It gets low marks for Republicans, Democrats and
Trump's handling. But it also says this.
How many people are concerned about the government shutdown's
effect on the economy? 49% said they're very concerned.
31% said somewhat, 20% said not concerned.
There's some really funny stuff in this, this article.
What's the most important issue facing the economy?
I'm facing the country. Oh, the economy and jobs and
inflation and then healthcare and then immigration, 14%.
So 27 percent, 21 percent, 15 and 14 respectively. 9% think
it's crime, 9% think it's government spending.
It should be. Everyone should be worried about
government spending. That's what should happen.
Is the Trump administration focused on lowering prices
enough? 75% of people in this you Gov
poll said not enough. 75% of people said that that the
federal government is not working on lowering prices.
This is a fundamental disconnect from people's minds from what is
reality. The federal government should
have nothing to do with pricing if you are in a free market
economy. And if it does have something to
do with it, you are not living in anything that resembles
America. And we're not.
And people are so dumb they think it matters.
Imagine if the federal government got out of your way.
What do you think the actual federal cost bump is to
everything you buy? How many federal taxes?
How many little things? I mean, I thought we were going
to get rid of the didn't somebody fact checked me on
this, But weren't we going to get rid of the IRS under Donald
Trump? We were going to go specifically
to 100% tariffs only. That would mean you'd have to
eliminate a ton of this federal government.
And I'm 100% behind it. That's the only thing I want to
see. Less government all the time.
Please, please God. I've got more stuff that we
could even cover today. We're going to leave it at that.
We'll touch 1st amendment stuff later on.
Let me let me indicate 2 things. Let me enrage you and then I'm
going to pacify you. Let me first enrage you with
this one guy who's a comedian letting you know that people on
the right do not have a monopoly on patriotism or love of country
and that this is not their nation.
We have a serious problem in this country and unserious
people solving it because exactly this.
The left actually has no claim to patriotism.
They have no claim to love of this country.
And I won't even agree that people on the right even know
what it means. Can we agree that if you think
that the government, 75% of people responding, said that the
government should be working on prices and trying to lower
costs, that it doesn't matter? Like, that's going to absolutely
include people on both sides of the aisles, but at least one
side claims to love this country, and the other side says
that America is the problem. So I disagree with Jon Stewart
on this. And then I'm going to tell you
why I'm still laughing at still laughing at the government
shutdown ongoing, which none of us have noticed.
You just want that person to give you your country back
because you feel that you're this country's rightful owners.
There's only one problem with that.
This country isn't yours. You don't own it.
It never was. There is no real America.
You don't own it. You don't own patriotism.
You don't own Christianity. You sure as hell don't own
respect for the bravery and sacrifice of military, police
and firefighters. Trust me, I saw a lot of people.
I saw a lot of people on the convention floor in Cleveland
with their Blue Lives Matter rhetoric who either remained
silent or actively fought against the 9/11 1st Responders
bill reauthorization. I see you and I see.
OK. Yeah, we do.
We don't need a secular Jewish guy who's worth millions of
dollars telling us what happens in law enforcement or military
or first responders. I've been part of all three
communities. I spent time in all of them.
And Christianity. How about you suck at Jon
Stewart anyway? But that is a position.
That's a position being argued. So continue to watch for that,
that disingenuous use of of Oh well, as a Christian, how can
you back the deportations? Or as a Christian, how can you
do this? Or as a pro-life person, how can
you stand behind these things? You don't get to tell me what my
faith means. And you're going to see that
going on because they are going to try to use it.
As usual. This is a Saul Alinsky tactic.
Make people live up to their own standards.
The difference is some of them should probably read Augustine,
which we'll cover at some point in the in the near future.
It is a well established, like hundreds and hundreds of years,
more than 1000 years worth of Christian tradition says that
proximity actually does necessitate the way that you
prioritize love and Christian charity.
Oh, go figure. We actually thought of this
stuff in the 2000 years that this has existed.
Yeah, we have. We'll get back to that too,
because we should give you guys some some armor as you go out
and deal with your neighbors and your loved ones, people that
don't agree with you and they say these silly things.
Yeah. It turns out that there's a
pretty robust philosophy after 2000 years of people following
the same sort of value system, and you don't get to tell me
what that is, probably because you don't know either.
I know you're not arguing in good faith.

Here we go. This is a fake AI generated clip
of Don Rickles. If we had him today he would
have said these things. I stole this from the Dilly mean
team, which I'm not a big fan of Dilly, but it doesn't
necessarily mean he's the one who created this.
