Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower, 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 Sarah. Well, hello my friends.
Welcome to the Kyle Serafin Show.
Today is the 5th of April. It is a Friday and that makes a
friendly Friday and we will have Steve friend joining us
momentarily. Let's see, we've got a lot going
on today but I'll I'm running on massive sleep deprivation and
Steve just told me that he's been up since 1:00 AMI was up
till 1:00 AM. So we have continued the handoff
of the night watch where somebody from the Suspendables
crew is always awake. And the the reason that I was up
so late is that we were discussing something on a
Twitter space and I I wanted to hear everybody that wanted to
have a chance to discuss it with us.
I wanted to get into this, this really important topic, which is
the title of today's show. And it's a simple question.
It's a simple question that so few people have probably thought
about and it's also something that a lot of people are unable
to answer given just a quick, just a quick prep.
The question is this, what are you conserving?
If you are a conservative lower case C, what is it that you are
attempting to conserve? And can we even conserve at this
point or do we have to be progressive?
Do we have to go back and reclaim that much space?
I think the answer is probably a little bit of both.
We're going to get into that with Steve.
I haven't asked him what his take is on this.
I actually suspect Steve has a fairly well baked answer because
Steve is a person who thinks about these things deeply and
frequently, but I don't think everybody does and you should
have it on the tip of your tongue.
I just asked the question, many of you should have an answer in
your head. Some of you are throwing in the
chat and that is fine too. All right, before we get started
with Steve, let's kick off with just a recognition that in a
world where conservatism is difficult, where we are not
conserving things, you might want to conserve some of that
financial resource you have and throw it into some emergency
food. You may want to prepare yourself
for the eventuality. The difficult times will come
near you. You can do that by going to
fourpatriots.com/kyle again, 4 patriots, the number 4 patriots
with an s.com/kyle. And that is how you can prepare
to hedge against the possibility that you may have to see your
neighbors repair. You can store their food
products for up to 25 years. You don't need it to go bad
right away. That's not a bad thing.
Keep it out of the sunlight. Put it in your vehicles, put it
in your pantries, and make sure that you have something stored
away so that if things get stupid, which they very well
might, this is an election year where things are going sideways
in some parts of the country. If it goes sideways in your part
of the country, you're going to want to prepare 1st, and you can
do that with the prep foods from for patriots.com/kyle.
They're packed in the United States for patriots.com slash
Kyle. Make sure you guys are keeping
that head. And we sent over the vector
files to our friends over at the Patriot cooler factories.
Yes, they can scan them. They actually engrave them.
They have two options. They can screen print it I think
and they can also engrave it and so hopefully we'll get those
things uploaded. I've I've requested a
suspendables tab under the customization at
patriotcoolers.com. Again it's patriot coolers.com.
The promo code is Kyle Today I am sporting my 16 ounce.
I'm going to you know once they get them uploaded, I want to
make sure I go through the same exact process you guys do.
I'll actually do like a screen capture, video ordering up some
of the ones that I'm going to do and you can do your own.
You can kind of pick out what you guys are interested in.
I really like the OD green. I don't know why, like this is
my favorite color shirt. I love the OD Green Cup Patriot
coolers.com/sorryit's patriotcoolers.com promo code
Kyle. And you guys will be able to
order your own so that you can support the same stuff and
support the suspendables. We'll just basically throw the
logos over to there for nothing. They had the opportunity for us
to buy a big bulk order of them, then sell them to you guys
direct. I don't want to do that.
We're going to just make it real simple, real easy and patriot
coolers.com. Use the right promo code.
Kyle. Kyle saves you 10% and 50 bucks
more. You're going to get free
shipping. Where is that dude Steve friend
with his sparkly ears as the chat has stated?
Steve, do you have sparkly ears? Do you have ear bling?
Yeah, bling, definitely. I I'm heavy on the bling.
I'm kind of like a rap star. Just need to get the grill going
and throw down some some beets. You're like the Tan, vanilla
Ice. He had better, better moves than
me, though. And better hair.
I mean, I I actually have a debate ongoing with my own
family on what color my hair actually is.
What is it? It's a regular conversation.
They all insist it's black. My hair is actually dark brown,
and I know it because it's on my driver's license.
Isn't it funny that all the the pictures of you though, that
Miranda Devine had, like, the sunlight was so good and they
washed it out with a little bit of photoshopping?
It looks blonde. So you look like this, like
happy blonde dude with a Notre Dame polo on.
And it's like that's not Steve. No, no, Steve is way darker.
That was a misguided effort to to grow up my hair a little bit,
and my wife remarked to me that I looked too much like my
father. So I needed to to go back to the
the more militant style. All right.
So that kind of walks into where we're going too much like your
father. Is that a thing that is bad?
You know, was our father's generation the place where it
made some sense last night? We did this long form Twitter
space, Hours and hours. So many hours, Steve, so many
hours of talking to people on Twitter.
And I think my wife even might be frustrated with me for for
being up there that late. And I get that it seemed like it
was important. It seems important to have this
discussion with folks. What are people conserving?
So what we asked for for people to do, and I highly encourage
people go back, at least listen some of it.
What is your age? So we were asking for their, you
know, roughly what decade of their life they are in, children
or not, married or not and what are you conserving?
And mostly people could answer the demographic questions,
right. But the what are you conserving
part was challenging. If somebody came up to you and
asked you today, Steve, you're pretty conservative.
Dude, what are you conserving? How do you answer that question?
I think it ties into another question that I'm going to be
answering later on today at another program.
And they said what was America's peak year?
And you have the bias of what your own life experiences.
I I can't say. Well, America peaked in 1893.
I mean, I wasn't around. I could just go off of the
history books. So it has to be sort of within
your own lifespan. And I think we all just have the
nostalgia for going back to our youth and thinking because we
just didn't know the ways of the world and the controversies and
trials that were going on at the time.
And I kind of went back really into the 90s in my memory, and I
apply that to my experience. Last night, my older son's
birthday was yesterday, so he turned 10 years old.
And on his 10th birthday he had his first Pop Warner football
practice and he was out there in the Florida sun.
It was a beautiful night. It was like, you know, 65° cold
for. His D Friend.
Oh yeah. I mean, I was a little bit
chilly, but you know, you got to suck it up for the family.
And I just have the thought that, you know, no matter what
is going to happen in the next 5 months in this country, that's
going to have all the media and people spun up and their heads
exploding on social media. He's probably going to have the
best summer ever. That's what I want to conserve.
I want to conserve that for my kids to be able to look back and
say, say, America peaked in 2024.
I remember that summer. That was the best.
That's that's really it to me. If you were to boil it down to a
simple bullet point name, are you conserving childhood
nostalgia? Are you conserving childhood
experience? What?
What is the thing that we're looking there specifically you
think? We have to be dangerous about
nostalgia. I've made this case before
because you it's the the problem with the slogan of make America
great again. Because if it's forward-looking
and you can say we could with the country's bad right now, but
we can make it great again because it used to be great.
But that that sort of next time it's great will look different
because it's a different time. But if it's backwards looking,
it's problematic because you say we're going to make America like
it was in the 1980s when we were awesome because that's the
country that would invade my country now.
And as a result of that, you can't bring that back.
It's impossible. You couldn't install Ronald
Reagan as the president right now.
Just no nature of the world that we really live in
technologically and information and and just all the factors at
play. It's impossible and it's an
unattainable goal. I think nostalgia is is a good
sort of it's good to go to just to to get yourself recharged.
But at the same time you have to be able to to create the
memories to actually have the the experience here and now.
If I stare at my phone and and scroll through the pictures, I
get nostalgic for that, you know, and and as I go through
the gallery. But that's a poor use of my
time. If that's my entire day.
It could just give me a little little charge and Apple's good
about sucking you in. It's like on this day three
years ago and I kind of get a little smile when I see my kid
and see where he is at now. But, like, that doesn't mean I
can't be. I I'm not going to be a good dad
today. I'm not going to go through my
day. So I think it's about creating
the new memory and doing it in a positive way and using maybe
nostalgia to give you that the supercharge the the, the rocket
fuel to get over the hump. I think it's also really
important that people understand their history, which we are
sorely lacking on. There's this thing on the left
they talk about you got to do the work, you know, which makes
me want to what makes me want to puke.
They're like, do the work to fight racism.
And you're like, oh, really? You got to do the work.
But people need to do the work specifically on.
It's the homework that they they skipped out on when they were in
high school. Let's be real, middle school and
high school social studies were really important.
It was one of the more important things.
You didn't know it. You didn't know it in that time,
20 plus years ago, 30 plus years ago, 50 years ago.
For some of the audience, like you look back and you're like, I
wasn't really paying attention to the social studies class
because that was kind of the easy give me.
It was like, it's kind of soft. It's not hard sciences, it's not
math, which by the way, we're having problems with math right
now. Have you seen this, this
Internet phenomenon that people are really upset about the the
iPhone calculator. Have you seen this?
No, no. Send it.
OK, this is this is fun because this is also this actually is
really relevant. I wonder if I could pull this
thing up on my I'm going to pull my phone up here folks.
So if if memory serves, the concern is, is that when people
look at their iPhone and they are given a simple problem.
I don't know who quote UN quote discovered this, but I want to
help that person dramatically. Like they're they're deeply
concerned about something where they are wrong.
OK, it's 50 + 50 * 2. OK, now people look at it and
they go, OK, if you have 50 * 2 is sorry, they'll they'll go.
What do they say? They say they say a 100 * 2 is
200. So why in the world is 50 + 50 *
2 a 150? And I'll show you.
This is on the calculus, so let's go full screen here.
This is funny. So it's 50 + 50 * 2 and it
equals 150, which is PIM DOS. PIM DOS.
Exactly, because they don't understand that the order of
operations is programmed into the calculator.
Because it's a calculator, the calculator doesn't think, it
just gives you the answer. And what is going on there is
that that multiplication is prioritized over addition.
So 50 * 2 is 100 plus the other fifty you had, it's 150.
The the calculator is right. If you put parentheses in there
and you did 50 + 50 stand alone 100 * 2, then you'd get your
200. Anyway, the fact that people
didn't pay attention to the order of operations and they are
mystified that a calculator got the answer correct is very
similar to me that people are not paying attention to their
basic history. And so last night we had
questions, hey, when would you roll America back to?
And there's problems in that, right.
Because. Yeah.
Because racism. Because there's.
Problems and I I'd be interested to get you this is the answer
I'm going to give today. I'm going to say 1997, and my
best evidence for that. I think that this will pull on
your nostalgia. That was the last year, and I
was a big sports guy when I was a kid.
That was the last year that college football people voted on
who was the champion? And then after that we turned it
over to the computers. There was still the analog
component to sports at that point, and we still had the
technology as it was advancing. We.
And you know, it wasn't where it is at now.
We didn't have smartphones, but it was still pretty good.
If you went back to 1997, your life would not be significantly
worse than it is right now. But we had a recognition of
there's a value to the analog and the human involvement.
We haven't just outsourced all of that to Tech and that's the
answer I'm going to give to do that.
Plus the host Nebraska was a Co champion that year and he's a
big Nebraska fan. So I think he'll appreciate it.
I'm. Not a sports guy.
Not to say that I didn't play sports then.
Not to say I don't understand sports or that I don't know
about sports. I didn't grow up around it
because I was. I like in the same way that most
Americans and guys you know our age did that and I don't
disagree with 1997 but probably for different reasons.
There was a there was a peak there as far as like the social
end of things. But governmentally and
politically, we were massively screwed.
And and one of the things that 1997, that is the year that that
book Term Limits was published and by the time Term Limits was
published, Americans in this country, we're so fed up with
how stupid and captured our government was that they were
down with the idea of a fictional novel of a bunch of
Navy Seals doing surgical hits and killing three politicians
that were, you know, congressmen and senators in the same night
and then sending a warning to the president you're next if you
don't return the government to the people.
That was a hit book in the pop, you know, pop kind of culture
simply because they were pissed by 1997.
So I think you're correct. As far as technology, there was
a lot of opportunity to be able to exchange information and and
you know, probably the first, probably my first MP3 download
happened in 1996 or 97. I remember being, you know,
yeah, tying up like the Internet all night and tying up a phone
line, which is not a cool thing to do.
That was the time when people were starting to get a second
phone line at their house so they could have one that was on
dial up all the time and one that was for actual calls.
So that was a good time. Analog and digital were starting
the meet. We knew the value of things, but
man, our government was jacked up.
It was really, really jacked up right then already.
And so I had folks who were talking about maybe the 1960s or
50s, you know, sometime in the 70s was pretty cool.
The Gen. Xers kind of have that same sort
of nostalgia that we have for the 80s and the 90s and so on.
And so there's all this information.
And then I was like, yeah, but in 1913, the United States had
two constitutional amendments, the 16th and the 17th.
OK, One of them allowed an income tax, a federal income tax
that never previously existed, and the other allowed for the
direct election of senators. Both of those things
dramatically screwed our country.
And by the way, I was told and I got to double check this, but we
somebody in the chat will tell me, I'm fairly confident.
That's also when the Federal Reserve was established.
I know it was within a few years of that either way.
So right around 1913, things were getting pretty screwy.
And then we went into World War One, which which fundamentally
changed the nature of, you know, the sort of the economic
superpower and the military superpower that the United
States became and was by the time World War Two runs around.
I don't know, man, one of the one of the arguments was is like
1868, like when that shotgun behind me was made here.
Look, people can see it. There's a shotgun here.
This is an 1868 Colt side by side Damascus steel shotgun that
we found. It's my wife's uncles.
And it was we inherited it. Uncle Grumpy gave that to our
family without knowing he was giving it to us. 1868 might have
been the Goodyear, like technology sucked, but our
government was like kind of in the good boundaries.
What do you think? Man, it's there's always going
to be another element that you don't think about.
Like, I for a second I was like, how about the, the bandwidth and
the unity that required to bring the Apollo 13 mission home
safely. The, the, the brainpower that
that that required. You had guys try to figure out
how to put a square peg in with round hole and they were able to
do it and you had both houses of Congress calling on the country
to pray. And despite the Cold War, every
nation was saying like wherever these guys land, we're going to
send help and we're going to pick them out of the ocean.
And I'm like wow, that was great.
And then I realized, like, yeah, that's the 1960s.
There was a lot of assassinations going on, a lot
of civil unrest. You probably can't go with that
one. Right and and and they were and
then so we had the the civil rights movement happening right
there. So right.
So every time we look into these and and so all of us are looking
to conserve something at 1A, a lot of it is not here anymore.
It's nostalgic. Insomuch as government has moved
past it socially. We want to move backwards a
little ways. I think somebody was saying what
if we rolled it back to the 90s. That was pretty cool when people
knew like that men's bathrooms were men's bathrooms and women's
bathrooms were for women and you know there were not guys with
semi erect penises hanging out in the locker room for women at
a like at a gym. Look, that seems like a no
brainer that we could go and get those.
So we're all kind of hitting these different Marks and even
1868, I think that probably the the problem with free black
slaves was really, really intense back then and the Irish
were treated like dog, like dog. A lot of orphans, or at least
fatherless homes because of the Civil War.
And as a result of that, moms. There's a lot of single moms
that they got on government assistance, and that set the
mentality of government assistance into those kids who
grew up to become the progressives that took over in
the early 1900s government. And they moved us towards things
that are objectively bad for everybody.
I think nobody's getting along better.
So one of those things, this is just for fun, 'cause we're we're
kind of having a little serious conversation.
Let me just throw this weird lawyer up one.
Actually one of our chat just had said don't Google this name.
We're already under surveillance, man.
Don't worry about it. OK, so this is a a public
defender. This is reported on by the Daily
Mail. This is a person named Stephanie
Mueller or Mueller, 70 years old.
All of what you're seeing on the screen right now is bad, folks.
So if you are not watching on the Rumble Channel, you're going
to be actually the the winner of this particular game. 70 year
old public defender a trans lawyer with pontoons on his
chest has talked about gender late in life.
Did this surgery to himself at at 58 years old which is amazing
and and I've got a little video from from Jonathan Cho who does
a lot of work out of Seattle and it's pretty darn funny.
I can't. I can't help how funny this is
to me. This is what we're not
conserving. I know that much.
Let's be a little light hearted and see the voice of this guy.
And if you're if you're not watching, what you're missing
out on is a man wearing a wig that is about shoulder length
and then he looks like, is it Benicio Del Toro?
That's in No Country for Old Men, Steve.
Is that the? Is that the the guy's name?
That's the villain, yes. Yeah, he actually does look
like. Him, Benicio Del Toro, in No
Country for Old Men, is now about to be a lawyer as a public
defender for another trans person.
We're off the rails one way or another.
Like what? Whatever.
You want to conserve. I know it's not this.
So this is just fun for us to kind of.
I don't know, I can still be respectful of this this dude,
but what a weird guy wearing and he's wearing like a 90s choker.
All right, let's play the video. Let me check on that.
So we were talking to a six 8:45.
That works for me. All right.
Do I need this on anything? No, just out of here.
My comment about my client. Yeah, I just met her.
She's really nice. She's really smart.
She sounds like she's got the right idea about things.
I really support what she's up to, and I think it's fabulous.
How about that? God, do you?
She's accused of what is a criminal pass.
And the first degree, Yes. Is she innocent or guilty?
She's innocent. Of course she's innocent.
OK, well, she's caught on video being arrested and protesting
and allegedly protesting. And so I'm trying to get all
sides. So my client has pled not
guilty. My name is Stephanie Mueller.
I'm in the directory for the Washington State Bar
Association. You could look me up.
OK. Stephanie, thank you for your
time. At this point, your client is
being arraigned, though it's all just happened that her her
hearing is over. Got it.
It's done. All right.
Do you know when her next court date is?
I do. Do you?
I'd like to maybe just keep tabs if they're.
I think that's a great idea. Do you.
Could you tell me when that is? No.
Oh, take care. Thank you, Stephanie.
Javier Bardem or Bardem, he was a Bond villain too.
Really. Really.
Yeah. Great.
So we're, we're not correct. It's not Benicio Del Toro,
although also kind of looks like Benicio Del Toro.
But yeah, that's now. I can never watch Old Country
for Old Man or that Bond movie without thinking about that
lawyer. Correct.
Excellent, excellent deltoid definition and V taper going on
like. And leather pants at 70 years
old. I mean, the dude is fit.
You got to give it to him. But the pontoon boobs is very
weird. I wish, I wish people didn't do
that to themselves. Nobody was doing that clown
woman face situation even 15 years ago.
So I would conserve things like that, and I would conserve it
from my my children having to see it.
That's the real key. It doesn't bother me.
You and I can look at that and just be like, that's a weird
thought, like why would you do that to yourself, guy?
But I also have to recognize pretty, pretty clean skin.
For a dude who's 70 years old, like you got whatever
rejuvenation program is going on there, he looks better than I
do, from the neck down, like neck to the like, the nipple
level. It looks pretty clear that
that's a that's a healthy set of people at an epidermis that's,
you know, getting real sleep, unlike me.
So how goofy is that? I just want to conserve a time
where theoretically my kids could sit down on a Friday night
and watch, you know, TGI Friday programming on ABC that was
wholesome, like had Family Matters in it or full house.
And I wouldn't have to be in the room like like a vulture waiting
and being like, well, no, no, no, we're going clearly going to
have a guy with pontoon boobs in here who's going to take the
lead. So I have to change the channel,
guys, let's let's watch something else.
Like, that's they it's so crazy. I mean, it was crazy even I had
that moment where my kid turned 10 yesterday.
I was just like, man, you just blink and you miss it.
And I'm like, but he's grown up in a world where that's been it.
He has no experience of being able to watch ATV program that
dad just knows. Like, of course it's Disney.
Like, why wouldn't I let my kid watch Disney?
Right. You don't have to pre screen it
you you know what? You have to kind of consider how
bizarre it was when we were kids.
And this probably goes back for a long ways.
The the parents that would filter movies and programs that
were entertainment on television, they were like, is
there too much violence? Like I I want to make sure that
they're not seeing too much violence, is the tipper.
Gore She was a Democrats presidential candidates.
Which, which shows you how far things have gone.
The the screening used to be is it too much blood and guts?
Is it too much gore? Is it too much?
That was, you know, antisocial aggression.
And now I'm wondering like, are they trying to program my kid to
think that all kids might have two dads?
Or there's some show that my kids are watching the day and
we're watching it. We're like, and it essentially
was like there were bad parents, which are true.
There are bad parents. And then the parents, I don't
know, get killed off or taken away.
And then the parents are the kids are given to another set of
parents and I'm like, Oh my God, what do we try to condition our
kids to think that that if your parents are not agreeable to
whatever it is like. And of course we're we're adding
our own lens of crazy. We're like, oh, they're all
trying to come for the kids. Anyway, a simpler time I, I, I
also would just get rid of the If you could give me like the
the the Thanos snap that I know you love talking about, I would
get rid of the Internet. It would ruin this job.
By the way. I wouldn't be able to do it
anymore. Maybe I'd have to go get a radio
gig or something. But I would get rid of the
simpler. I would go simpler.
I would get rid of the selfie feature on cell phones.
This thing that that led to so much.
It's about me and nihilism and self centeredness that just as a
it leads to the to the type of people that think it's OK to
push a shopping cart just in the middle of the parking lot and
not return it to its corral. Like the world revolves around
you as opposed to, you know, you're a citizen.
And we all kind of have to have that duty at outside in in every
aspect of our lives. Yeah, what do we call that?
The the the world's easiest citizenship test.
It really is. I mean, like, I'm, I'm between
that and that should be a felony punishable up to five years in
prison. If you leave the shopping cart
out, I'm willing to come down to maybe like 3:00 to 5:00, but if
you misuse the word literally that that should be 5 to 10.
I literally. I literally cringed.
Yes. OK, Steve, look, Steve is an
extremist. He's an extremer.
That's why we're friends. He doesn't eat.
He runs ungodly amounts of miles every day, even if he hasn't
slept. It's just what he does.
He's got that extreme personality.
Let me read a little bit from this, from this Wikipedia piece,
because I think it's fun when Wikipedia tells us who what we
are, religious conservatism, 'cause they they, they lay out
conservatism. There's actually one I didn't
see on here. This is at the bottom.
Progressive conservatism. Actually want to know what that
is now. So I'm going to actually read
that with us too, but. Teddy Roosevelt.
Yeah. OK.
So religious conservatism. In most democracies, political
conservatism seeks to uphold traditional family structures
and social values. Religious conservatives
typically oppose abortion, LGBT behavior, drug use and sexual
activity outside of marriage. You on board for that?
Avow avowed? Yeah.
So there are a lot of different ways that people could sort of
identify conservatism. I just want people to have the
thought so that if you were going to answer the question,
and we've got a couple of them up here.
Here's a here's a here's an article that came from medium,
which is a a lefty sort of source.
This guy named Keith McNeil, He wrote this in 2020.
So right at the tail end of Trump's presidency, I keep
wondering what conservatives mean when they identify as
conservative with the lowercase C Both conservatism and
liberalism are awfully confusing in American politics and not at
all self-evident. I think that's all true.
So what are conservative conserving?
He goes on and talks about the sort of the definition of the
word conserve or to conserve. And and he just kind of hits
home on this idea that they're more likely to identify as
Christian, that they have this sort of economic, rapacious
conservatism, which means it's a muscular form of Christianity
that touts family values. All of these things need to be
well defined in order to actually have a political
movement that has some value. Because otherwise I I, I asked a
girl, I literally asked a girl the other night.
She's a young Gen. Zer.
Yeah. So this young.
I mean I did ask her this and and she was running by this
handle which was like I think it was conservatives or young
conservatives of Arizona or something to that effect.
And was a nice gal but young. And the danger of being young in
politics is that you basically don't know anything.
You have minimal life experience.
If you're in your 20s, you haven't experienced very much.
You've got all the ideas that are confirmed basically on and
untested. You're basically an FBI agent
who has this, this unreasonable belief in your own ability to
succeed without having any evidence to prove it.
And that's what I used to say it was like the IT was the supreme
confidence of the untested was what I used to see in my
classmates. They're like, yeah, you're going
to be a badass when you walk outside.
I'm like, because they gave you a badge.
No, you're going to get killed. You're stupid.
You've never done anything hard in your whole life.
You know, you're like a black female who's 23 years old from
New York. And now you think that because
someone gave you this and a gun that you can't shoot and jumps
out of your. Head Darling did it So why
shouldn't I be? Correct.
Yeah. But now they gave you a Glock
22, which looks like it's a freaking Desert Eagle in your
tiny little hands and you make no sense with it.
Which by the way, that's why we. It's part of the reason why the
FBI left the Glock 40. The FBI made so many changes to
what firearm they carried based on weak hands and people that
were unwilling to learn their trade.
I don't know if folks know this, but you want to talk.
This is actually a conservative sort of the.
Trigger pull test. There there were trigger pull
of, you know, devices to see if people could smoothly pull the
trigger. They got rid of the 10mm because
they went to the 10mm because it needed to be more powerful to
kill bad guys who had rifles, like this gunfight that happened
in 1986. So they went away from revolvers
to higher capacity 10mm. And then they were like, oh,
10mm is pretty spicy. We're going to have to go away
from that. We're going to create a new
round, the 40 caliber Smith and Wesson, and they shot that.
And then they were like, oh, people are weaker and weaker Now
it's too spicy too. So now they have 9mm.
They've also increased the Ballistics of the 9mm and
capacity and so on. But it's very funny how many
weak decisions drove us to that. No conservation whatsoever
there. There's people that still shot
the 45 in my office. Did you have 45 shooters?
On SWAT, we did. We had a couple guys that were
hanging on to that, like Charlton.
Heston, I showed my hands. Yeah, you know what?
It's low capacity and it's a great gun.
It's fun, cool looking. But it didn't make any sense.
The FBI bought a race gun. But even that failure to just
acknowledge this, this gal, I said, what are you conserving?
You know what? What are you conserving?
You're 21 years old. What are you conserving?
And her answer was very straightforward.
She goes, you know, I'm like all the all the conservative things.
That's kind of what I'm interested in, you know, because
like gun rights and and the Constitution.
And if your answer to what are you conserving is a smoothie of
mediocre buzzwords, then you haven't done the work, as the
left would say. You haven't put in the thought
to describe it. She eventually kind of got to
family values. And so then I and she said I'm
trying to get more women into politics.
That was where she ended up. I want to get more women into
politics, but I'm also trying to conserve family values.
And that was why I started asking these questions because I
want to dismantle people on the left and on the right with the
Socratic method of asking you simple questions.
What is it that you are trying to move forward and why is your
solution better than mine? Why is your solution good at
all? She couldn't really get it down.
And if you're telling me that you want traditional family
values, that was the long blink. Either you slow down or you just
roll your eye. Roll was really good there.
Steve. If your traditional family
values if. You're I mean I'm I'm trying to
you know I I I I'm amazed. I didn't know you were this
close with Tommy Lehren. Why are women telling me that
they want traditional family values, which also involves
traditional family roles, which means that maybe if you are a
woman getting into politics, you're doing it after your kids
are grown and and OK, fair, fair, fair ideas, then you've
got some skin in the game. You've got kids out in there in
the world. You've stepped away from it.
But why are you trying to step into traditionally masculine
roles? Because even these these movies
that we grew up with, you when go back to the 90s, how about
Starship Troopers, which was thought of to be kind of
lampooning Nazis? And then the more and more I
watch it, I'm like, I'm kind of behind what these guys are
about. Like the guys they're making fun
of are the guys I kind of agree with.
Is that weird? Well, that movie is actually
kind of it could be secretly ingenious.
It's almost like Idiocracy in a way.
It sort of shows the way that like a statist tyrannical
government will just use like pretty looking people and throw
them in in the in the wood chipper just to get its ends.
And I mean it's it's actually got a pretty good twist to it at
the end like where the three main characters all kind of
reunite but they don't actually fight against the the main big
baddie. It they just like run up on the
like hey while you guys were involved in whatever side
conversation we just conquered that the bad guy.
It was just AI was like, oh that's that's kind of it was a.
Throwaway victory. Yeah, they're just mascots.
That's really what they are. That that was the meaning of the
movie, which I thought was pretty, pretty well played and
all comes back to the conserving things.
How about the social studies teacher there he he gives some
pretty convincing arguments that all government forces violence.
It really it is. I mean, why does government
exist? It's going to, it's there to
punish, right? If it's not punishing evil, it
by defect has to punish good, right?
Otherwise, we wouldn't need government.
And the simple answer is, is that are women supposed to be
necessarily. If you're a conservative, if you
believe in the family values, are women in the sphere of
violence and exercising it? I just wanted this girl to think
about it. I don't know that I know the
right answer. I know what I think.
And I'm willing to ask questions.
And if you don't have the right answer or you don't even have,
if you've never even considered this, like, I want more women in
politics. Why?
Because women in politics, because because 30 and 30, we
need more female FBI agents. Like, I agree with that.
By the way, let's have 100% of the FBI be female agents.
Then I don't have to worry about them kicking down my door.
I'll just put up a steel door and they'll just be there
banging on it with the ram until another day.
I'll just go. Hey, do you guys need coffee?
We'll pour a pot on them or something like that.
Like a medieval castle. I'll just pour it out of my my
top window. I'm not scared of that.
I'll just say that up front. I don't like the goal of getting
a particular demographic involved in the political
process, regardless of what the world view is on it.
I just think that that's sort of a hollow goal to hold.
Yeah, I went through the process.
It is super arduous and really boring and really disappointing
when you think about it, of I wrote a law first.
First I went for a week in campaign in the state of
Tennessee. Then I wrote the actual law.
Then I wrote an act, the full letter for the sheriff's of the
state to sign on to. Then I wrote the speeches for
members of the Senate and the Let and the House to deliver
when they presented the law. This was all a Steve friend
creation. The whole argument of like, one
person can make a difference. I'm like, I guess it's true.
It's not. There's no glory or glamour
behind it. Does the girl, you the Tommy
Lahren figure you're talking to, does she know that?
Does Does she explain that to the other women?
Or is she just going to get them to go and wave signs and print
T-shirts and go home and think like, yeah, I made a difference
today when it's really not. They had a state senator on from
Arizona whose name escapes me and wasn't really important.
She represented Tucson I think and she said I'm a I'm a I'm a
Gen. Xer and I have nothing strong to
say about anything. And millennials and and Gen.
Z ears are super important and like I'm really, I just want to
hear these young voices. It's like I don't why what do
what do they know They bring all this energy.
It's like OK, the the old analogy is always the same.
It's and we've had it in a million cop movies from the 90s.
It's the youngblood who's got all the energy.
It's the Keanu Reeves type from Point break that's like, you
know, piss and vinegar. And he's going to go get the bad
guys. And he goes running around the
corner and he makes a right turn and he makes another right turn.
He makes another right turn and he ends up right back where he
started. And then there's like the, you
know, the Gary Busey types who's like tripped the bad guy who
came running around the corner because he's already done that
chase and he doesn't need to do it anymore because he's old.
And Wiley. There's a mix between youthful
energy and Wiley experience of age.
And there is there is a time when that becomes no longer
useful, when you're old and crotchety like we used to laugh
about the the people that have kind of gone over the hill.
We used to work with them in the Bureau where they're talking
about things that don't exist anymore.
But there's got to be a balance between.
Experience and knowledge, definitely a balance of both
you. I mean, you can't just have one
generation go in perpetuity like we're finding that out right now
from our national leaders where you have 80 year olds are trying
vying for the presidency and people in positions of high
prominence within Congress who are way over the hill I.
Mean like they aspire to die in that chair.
I'm going to meet Chuck Grassley next week.
He's like 90 years old. He's more than 90.
He that that's it. I mean, he's just, he lives the
old. It's almost like that's where
they draw. The Ask him if he ever knew the
Wright brothers. I want you to ask him like, some
weird question that doesn't make any sense.
It's just, how were the Wright brothers?
Pretty cool when they were flying Kitty Hawk or whatever.
Just something like in ancient history.
Like what was it like when man learned how to fly because?
He might have been alive before there was flight.
He was alive before there was flight.
What? Why is that guy making laws for
anybody? It doesn't make any sense.
I I mean there there has to be, you know, we were talking about
there should be age limits. And then I saw there was a whole
thing about one, it was either Biden or Trump was saying like
they they challenged the other guy to play golf.
And I thought that's the ultimate test.
That's the ultimate vetting period.
You should have to carry your own bag for eighteen holes and
break 100 of your of your total score.
And that's the initial hurdle to enter to get on a ballot.
What is? What is par?
I don't know what par is for 18. Holes 72. 72 OK, so so you can
you can have like you can what you can.
Basically bogey all the holes and still have a cushion of 10
strokes. OK, so you can double bogey half
of them and bogey the rest And. And you have to carry your own
clubs. Yes.
I don't know if I oh, here's the thing.
I can carry my clubs for like the whole weekend, but I don't
know if I can hit. I don't know if like there's a
skill set involved there that I don't play golf.
I guess if you're a billionaire guy who owns a golf course, you
should be able to be pretty good.
So fine. OK, that's what 80 year old
people are going to set up as a standard.
My standard is you have to carry a fat baby like I've got the way
my wife does for 9 hours of the day, and if you try to put it
down it loses its mind. So you have.
Now you're going to have only females elected to office
because that. That No, you can carry a fat
baby around. No, you can carry a fat baby, or
you just you just man up. You're just like, oh, this is
not very comfortable. You don't have the hint.
Within 90 seconds, you're like my arms are hurting and then mom
just. Like, why am I carrying this on
their hand? Why am I carrying the baby?
Also, my baby's a mountain climber, so she's like digging
her feet into my, into my wife, into my body.
She's constantly like trying to stand up at an angle and like
hang out and get a higher, like, vantage point.
For some reason, it's really clear what she's trying to do.
She's. Got Overwatch?
She's definitely a Seraphin. The most active Seraphin baby of
our four by a lot. And I don't know if I can
attribute it to being the youngest.
And there's other things going on and she just wants to be part
of it. Or if it's the fact that she's
never seen a doctor and she's never had any shots and that
she's just like a superhuman the way that humans used to be.
I don't know what the answer is. I'm fearful of her being like a
toddler because I think she might like, you know, dive heads
first in the walls or stuff like that.
Here's an interesting take from a girl named Alex Clark.
Who I I actually, she's really, really good.
She's a she's going, she's starting this online
conservative versus you know, why are conservative men not
doing the job this takes. She has some really good
conversations. She speaks to women in a good
way. I think this is a an interesting
kind of thing about therapy, which is my wife's chosen
profession and that it's not resulting in better outcomes.
So this is the the the sort of insanity argument if it's not
getting better by what you're doing.
And this would be the argument that I think progressive should
look at. It's like, hey, you guys have
been running the show. You've been drifting left really
hard. People are still not happy.
Maybe try the old stuff. Like maybe there's nothing new
under the sun, but maybe you swing it back.
Let's let's just kind of listen to to Alex kind of do this
little interview with a psychologist here.
Gen. Z has gone to therapy more than
any other generation. Are they happier?
They have gotten more psychotherapy, more diagnosis,
more medication, and they are the least happy.
So why aren't they the picture of Wellness?
You discovered that kids who are joining politically extreme
groups, neo Nazis, white supremacists, they're not coming
from conservative families very often.
They come from liberal families. They actually come from the most
gentle families, parents who never wanted to say no to their
kids. What is responsible for creating
this phenomenon of gentle parenting?
It's psychologists or neuropsychologists or therapists
telling parents they don't understand the brain.
I do, by the way. We never get to see the product
of their ostensibly amazing methods.
Sometimes these parenting gurus will say, my oldest child is 9.
You talked about teenage boys all needing help putting on a
clip on tie. The teacher told you they can't
even go across the street to get fast food on their own.
They say, Well, I don't know how they're afraid to do anything
without asking an expert. They.
That's Abigail Schreyer. Schreyer.
So that's not that's not a psychologist.
She's a journalist. My wife corrected me in real
time. Thankfully my wife is watching
the show too, so. But she's written a couple of
books about this sort of situation.
She's talked about transgender problems, like our dude with the
pontoon boobs and and this sort of crisis in men just stepping
out and being OK with failing #1.
But this is such a predictable result to me.
I grew up in the 90s watching. Do you remember the concept of
preachers, kids? Did you ever have those around
you? The PK's?
Yes, sure. Did, Yeah.
Who is going to be the most sexually active, the most like
delinquent, the most drug using drinkerist, You know, throwing
the biggest parties. It's going to be kids whose
parents are conservative Baptist preachers in Texas.
That's who did it. They were.
They didn't. If you didn't hit them in high
school when they got to college, they just went hog.
Wild. They lost their ever loving
minds because they had so much guardrail and that's one version
of bad balance and the other is like everybody is your friend
and we'll just do all your things for you and then you're
like I'm a Neo Nazi now like look, I've got to go start with
the pitch fork. I need some extreme in my life.
People seek balance and I think that's the the failure point
that we keep getting to is that the society has failed to give
people the proper amount of guardrails and the proper amount
like you're allowed to fail in this country.
That's the other scary thing I cannot fathom people having.
The amount of social safety Nets that we have built up, even in
my lifetime, didn't used to. Access.
There's also a language issue here where language leads to
your mindset. So we used to say the kids were
were shy and now now they have anxiety.
Everything has to be a condition that then sets you up that you
have to be treated. It's abnormal.
It can't just be, well, that's just naturally you're the new
kid at school. There's there's some sort of
shyness attached to that and you're just going to have to
overcome it with time and and you you're going to feel that
feeling because that's normal and natural.
We don't have to then hop you up on some sort of medication and
get you into AC accounts or three times a week.
But now we're so quick. I'm pulling that the trigger on
that. We need treatment.
We need treatment because we have this narrow definition in
one sense of what is normal and then outside of that it's be
yours best self. Everything is acceptable.
No guardrails. It's polar.
Opposites are accepted and there's no healthy middle, and
we all kind of feel squeezed by that.
I think it makes a lot of sense. It's also not good.
It's it's the saddest thing that can happen for our society.
Like yeah, you can't. You can't give kids no.
And simultaneously all the boundaries and and the ability
to fail is really, really important.
I've got a video that I'm going to have you do narration of That
is the opposite of failure. It is like hyper masculine
sandwich building, which we'll play in a in a minute as kind of
a palate cleanser for everybody to kind of enjoy.
It's it's such a strange time. But if people can't answer these
basic questions, what it is that they're trying to keep in the
forefront what it is that they want to, you know, invest their
time in. Let me go back to this
progressive. I want to this progressive
conservatism because I hadn't read that piece and I wanted to
see Theodore Roosevelt, there you go, identified as a main
exponent. Do they mean proponent?
I don't know what they're going on here.
So he invented it. The Bull Moose Party was was
progressivism. OK, so he says that he always
believed that a a wise progressivism and a wise
conservatism go hand in hand. Republican administration Howard
Taft, Progressive Conservative described himself as a believer
in progressive conservatism. They don't see what the values
are here. What are the values of the Bull
Moose Party then? It's basically like pull
yourself up by your bootstraps, but then make sure you spend
your money that you earn. Like in a way that we get the
government think is a good thing.
I can stay out of the government piece of it.
That's that's cool. Teddy Roosevelt, man.
Some of the stuff he says you're just like, yeah.
And then the other stuff you're like, whoa, man, I I got off
like 5 exits ago. I mean, the the, the man in the
arena speech is probably the most inspiring speech quotation
any president has ever uttered. And like that that's pretty.
That's saying something because there's been, you know, the
Gettysburg address and Washington's farewell address
and Eisenhower's farewell. I mean there's there's so many
that you can, you know, ask not what your country can do for
you. Doesn't matter.
They're all playing for second in my mind of man in the Arena,
I agree. But the same guy says like money
well earned should be well spent the way the government says.
Which tells you that nobody's got a monopoly on the best
ideas. This is why we need balance.
It's another reason why we need balance.
It's it's why I actually, I'm not mad.
I don't want to get rid of the political left.
I actually don't want that. Not for me, not for us.
Because then you're tilting one way without any guardrail.
You you actually need both guardrails.
You need a mom and a dad. You need an emotional and you
need a rational. You need a dude that wants to
make a sandwich with a with a chop saw.
And you also need a woman that realizes that this is far too
much measuring and you can just slice the sucker down and buy
sliced bread from the store and slap some some food on it
because kids need to eat. All these things happen at once.
Can we build unity around the fact that Amy Nelson should
basically just be the president? Because she came from the left
and then got punched in the face by a government.
So she's got like both of those acting on her and she's like a
fully capable entrepreneurial person.
And except I don't. Want They're running it,
probably like her because it's a woman in politics.
I don't want. I don't want women running it,
not for I don't want women running it because I don't want
it for the women. I don't want it for them.
I don't think it's a good thing for women to absorb that that
burden of political violence and even some of the the great
feminists, they were talking about it last night.
Her name is like Camila Pagsley. I think her name is.
But people look her up. And she said, yeah, if women
were in charge of society then we'd be living in caves, but
they would be clean caves. And it's like, yeah, because men
built all the things I I saw this goofy lady who's wearing a
shirt that said read books and fight the patriarchy.
And I'm like, you're wearing a shirt that was printed on a
press that a man made. You're you are talking about
books that overwhelmingly exist because men were the only ones
who could read and write for most of time, right?
And they were the ones that brought about printing presses
and they built the computers and all the other things.
And that doesn't make men better.
It just means that's what men do.
Because men are like, this is not like I'm going to create the
most awesome system to do this thing and they're going to do it
badly, badly, badly. And then they're kind of come
out OK and they're going to go great, now I've created this and
meanwhile. They're going to go build a
skyscraper and take a lunch break sitting with no, you know,
no safety harness and be photographed doing it like and.
Really, really upset their moms. Yeah, their moms are mad though,
because their moms care about their safety and love them.
And that's why they're old enough to be an adult.
Because somebody made sure they didn't fall off the damn stairs
when they were a kid. Because some mom was running
around after them making sure that their butt was wiped.
And they didn't end up with, you know, diseases and all the other
things that moms do and women do in the world.
I don't know. I just acknowledging the
superpowers that exist for both sides.
Men are able to do weird things like throw rocks, you know, and
and rockets to the moon. Like you said that that Apollo
13 moment, that's really Apollo 11 moment where everyone was
going to get together and figure out where these guys landed.
They were going to find him. That was a bunch of dudes were
going to be out on boats and in planes and watching radars that
they built that that monitored stuff in the sky to make sure
that those guys came home. Sure, but it was also dudes who
went up there because they were like, hey, let's throw a bunch
of guys up into the moon. I don't know.
Hopefully we get them back. Maybe we don't.
We got lots more there. Like, that sounds awesome.
Strap me on that missile. Correct.
Because that is the nature of men because men are just kind of
expendable in that way and and that's the way it's supposed to
be. We had a long version of this
last night talking about what would you what are you saving it
for which I think is really important and it continues to be
that that piece let's let's do, let's do a thanks to folks at

They're they're our only show sponsor on the American Radicals
podcast. That's fair.
Fair.
Let's let's get your commentary on this.
I've actually got a a video set up for funsies.
This is some seriously man stuff.
All right. Give commentary what we because
people can't hear anything. So it looks like there was a
Father's Day sale this man took advantage of to make his kids
sandwiches the Father's Day sale at Lowe's and he used a circular
saw to he cut the bread and now he's using a hand saw to open
the Jif peanut butter using. That was.
That was a hacksaw. He hacksawed open the JIF and he
went with a. Spackle a knife.
Spackle. Yep, to to spread the peanut
butter. And now he's going to use a
mallet, some kind of hammer the grapes to create some sort of
or. Hey, look, the mom would be
happy. It's like organic Jelly, right?
No sugar additives. I suppose that's what the I
didn't realize he was making Jelly.
He was hand smashing the Jelly. Yes.
OK, so he smashed up a bunch of grapes on.
And AT square to to make sure that the the the jam fits on the
one size of the bread. Now we've got honey.
And an oscillating saw. It to open that up because
again, like he this guy got every Father's Day sale
possible. I've never done this, but I want
to do this now. He's got the honey bear inside a
caulking gun. I don't know.
I don't know on PB and J that. Concept alone?
Oh yeah, no, that's totally a thing.
That's a thing. That's a California thing for
sure. OK, now we're going to a
secondary block of wood and he's going to do a.
Kettlebell on top to to make sure that it's nice and flat.
Correct. I've never done that.
I don't know, miracle that there was no bleed through into the
sandwich. This may not be the first take.
Taking off the the crust like a good dad does.
With with a chisel and then also with like, what is that a pry
bar that's like a hammer pry you got to clean up with a shop
pack. That's a manly thing to do.
Shop. Packs are absolutely necessary
in the kitchen. Yeah, well, this.
He's doing this to the workbench.
And now? He's definitely in his man cave
doing it. OK, he's he's lifting the
sandwich with a couple of paint stirring sticks, which is
useful. And he is.
Torching the edges, he's he's basically making it uncrustable.
Yeah, no, he is. He's got an uncrustable sandwich
that's made organically by hand, with a hand, smashed grapes and
getting both sides with the torch.
Can't be mad about that. I love this.
Now. It's going to get weird though.
Why is he flipping it? Why the flip?
Now we're going to go to a circular saw by hand.
He is going to cut the sandwich. Yeah, 5050, I would.
There might be a little sawdust in there at this point.
He actually has a He has a groove inside the sandwich.
You're going to see it in a second.
There's a groove in that wood that he just cut, which was like
sacrificial wood introduced a chisel just because to open it
up. Yeah, I dig the fact that he's
wearing a noble hat too. That's pretty sweet.
What is it? Noble is a it's a fitness
company. Look at that.
That's a that's a great sandwich.
That is a that is a hideous sandwich.
That's the that's the worst sandwich that I've ever seen.
It is ugly. It is stupid.
It was a mess. And he just It's funny though.
I contrast that with after football practice last night
with my my kid was like, I'm hungry, I want a peanut butter
and Jelly and I got 1 tortilla and just threw some peanut
butter and Jelly and just smashed it by hand together and
handed it to him. I said we got to go to bed, eat.
Yeah, put some calories down. Well, that look.
That is the mom move though. That's the mom move.
The dad move was I'm going to measure 2 times, cut once with
multiple different saws, and I'm going to engage as many tools as
possible. It's the old argument my buddies
used to ask about, like if someone broke in my house, who's
going to shoot the person? And I was like me.
And they're like, no, your wife is.
Because you're going to be selecting the the proper.
Weapon. Correct.
Because I'm going to be looking for the proper tool and my wife
is going to be like, you woke up the baby 20 gauge in your face,
bam, you're done and and she's going to try to go back and deal
with a crying baby while I'm still trying to like throw the
suppressor on and make sure that I've got my best set up to go
after it and. But and you'll be good for the
body clean up because you'll have all the necessary tools to.
Oh, I totally. Oh, yeah, yeah.
I have all the tools for that stuff.
I could make that sandwich easy. I've got more than enough to
make that sandwich every day. But the but is is that there is
something about just sometimes you got to just get it done.
And I think I don't want people to belabor the question what are
we conserving to the point where they're they're trying to put
the blowtorch on the the sandwich that they cut with a
circular saw. What I want them to do is have
an answer. It's like look, we're trying to
make peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches and give them to our
kids so that they are fed. We're trying to make a fast,
effective, useful lunch with an with an actual answer as opposed
to what are we having for lunch? We go, maybe we should post out
some of these tools. Let's see.
We got tools. Do we have, do we have no.
Simple answers sometimes are the right answer.
And then there is no obviously clean cut version of it because
as we mentioned, culturally there's places we'd roll back
to. Economically, we could roll back
certain ways. Governmentally, we're just a
mess. I would love to shake everything
down to the found it. Wouldn't it be amazing if we
gave a Congress like a do over like a full Mulligan?
We're like 1791. Yeah, yeah.
So the 119th Congress comes in and we're like act number one,
we repeal all federal laws. They're all gone.
Throw them out. I don't care about any of them.
And now based on constitutional principles that are not
antiquated. So we're not trying to update a
tax code that's still trying to solve loopholes.
That happened in the 30s. What I want you to do is build
something that makes sense that people can actually read not
massively over structured garbage.
How about we just do hey we're going to just operate on the old
laws. So when you pass the new set of
laws that are America that are on top of the Constitution and
it maintains your roads and funds stuff like that.
All that is going to come in at the same time that we repeal all
the old laws. So we give you like a two year
period to just write up what it should look like and then be I
wonder if we could actually do that.
That's that's the new Steve Friend project.
I mean. Redraft America.
If they'd have me in the room because I don't know how
comfortable I feel about having like Dan Goldman and John
Federman working together to craft or legislation that's
going to run the country. Look, there's a lot of dumb
people in America, Steve. We got to be real about this.
There's a lot of dummies. They don't listen to this show.
But there's some real dummies out there, and they have to be
represented too. Or do they?
I don't know man. They I think they already are.
Yeah I I went to the State House and had conversations and I was
just like there's there's no there there.
I mean I told you yesterday there's there's people who are
even thought like on face this is a capable person and within
minutes was hearing about chemtrails and just.
Yeah, the chemtrails are a big deal for those people.
Well, so we might be screwed is the real answer.
No, I I don't. I don't think that is the case.
I just, I feel like someone tried to tell me don't you want
more people to be able to vote if you're a market economy
person And I'm like, no, I'm semi elitist.
I want less people to be able to vote.
I only want people that have skin in the game.
And as Garrett said the other day, I'm probably giving this
away. He said landed males, but landed
males have women that they're worried about and people that
work for them that they're worried about, and they're
voting in the interest of the folks that are part of them.
I actually am fine with far less people voting than do, and I'd
love them to be far more informed than they are because
most people who vote, they don't know anything.
Which is why when I ask a girl who I literally asked what are
you conserving, she has no answer to it.
If you can't answer what it is you're voting for, what your
goal is, and what you hope to obtain from it, why are you
voting? If you can't answer the basic
questions, that's. The most important things that
we have are there's exclusivity attached to them.
Like the most important person to me, I get one of them.
That's my wife. I don't have multiple wives.
That dilutes it with the same token, like Jesse Kelly, I've
heard. To make this comparison, if you
go to like the half price night at the bowling alley, you're
going to see a lot of people there that probably shouldn't be
there. But when it's a little prices a
little higher, then there's a exclusivity factor there.
It's a better cast of characters.
I think the same thing sort of applies to citizenship entirely.
If you open it up to everyone, then you get a lot of of
riffraff in there. There's a really important point
that is made there, and it's the same story of Christianity.
It's the reason why churches that are more difficult to
digest the message of are the ones that are growing because
people in hard times are looking for a difficult path that has
meaning not who has the best coffee bar in the North X before
Mass because that gets you in one time.
And I think we've had that conversation enough time to know
difficulty and exclusivity are the things that human beings
seek they they're it's always going to be hard and if you can
give meaning to it then people will do hard and if not then
they won't do anything. And we've made I I think voting
has to be way harder. I think it should be harder I
think even if somebody said what about a basic citizenship test
that you have to pass to become a citizen of this country.
Shouldn't you know like a little bit about what it is that would
be? That's the that's the bare
minimum. But I actually think that
anybody who pays a net positive in taxes, because if you don't
have any skin in the gate, why are you voting?
Why do why do you get to vote what to do with all of our money
if you don't have any money in the pot?
That seems bizarre. Do your kids get to pick what to
have for dinner? That's right, Exactly.
No. And I tell them regularly, And
as somebody pointed out to me, my parents were benevolent
dictators. I am a benevolent dictator.
I think that I know what's best for them, and I'm doing what I
believe to be in their best interest.
This is also the way that the people who used to serve in the
Congress were. They were wealthy enough to be
able to step away from businesses.
That's why we have a recess. They used to be the smartest
people. Now we have the dumbest people
who just want to be doing politics.
And so in any case, if we're going to conserve something,
it's worth knowing that the oldest part of America was kind
of elitist. It was kind of elitist in a
benevolent way. And that's a that's a
fundamentally conservative type position if you look back to
what they originally wanted to do.
That's why there were limits on who could be involved.
If your goal is to conserve the origins of the constitutional
Republic that we purport to be, then yes.
I mean and the the, the retort to that is going to be, well,
what do you want to bring back slavery.
It's like, well, no, we want the.
No, I want. Them to live up to the ideals.
The foundations of the building were good, the cornerstones were
really good. It's a lot of the the rocket
that's crept in over time and the the mold that's built up as
you've continued, just add floors onto it that have been
the problem for us. It's it's so clearly obvious to
me that that the two fundamental sins of this country is always
faced down, one of them being slavery, which is the answer for
the left for everything. And they can't see that that
abortion is the same problem. They're both fundamental flaws
in understanding that they didn't recognize a human being
for being a human being. It's the same.
It's the same sin, if you were to boil it down to the point.
And hence, yeah, I want people to conserve the thing that goes
all the way back. It says that men are created
equal, that they should be treated equally, that we should
have equal force of law. We don't have that currently.
I've got a little little taste. I'm going to be on Dan Boggino's
radio show later on today. I'm going to have you plug the
podcast right after this. Let's play this little thing.
This is sort of self-serving, I guess because he's he is
praising our story. But you know, we love Dan.
If you guys are not watching Dan, what are you doing?
Why are you not missing out? Here we go.
Kyle Surfin's a former FBI agent.
Do you know him? He's been on my show quite a
bit. He tweeted this out the other
day. He was suspended from the FBI in
April 23rd, 2022. The FBI Human Resources
department sent him a final package and that they they said
they're doing an administrative investigation.
The FBI confirmed its decision to agree with itself on June
1st, 2022, which is strange because they conducted credit
checks on Kyle. You can see on August 9th, 2022
as well. Why are they doing credit checks
via LexisNexis? Look at this.
If you're not, well, if you listen on Apple and Spotify,
check this out. I want you to see this on on
Rumble. Go to Rumble and go to like the
23 minute mark or something. The Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Why are they credit checking
this guy? Why would you be doing that?
Now I get it. We all have to be skeptical even
of our friends, even of me. I encourage you all the time to
Fact Check me. It keeps me honest.
So you may say, well, Dan, maybe that's just a big coincidence
that the FBI would be running credit checks and such on
whistleblowers as damaging whistleblower information about
the FBI is coming out. But maybe it's just a
coincidence they did that. Who knows?
Maybe they were like looking to sell them a car or something
like that. OK, what else?
That's fascinating because Steve Friend and Garrett O Boyle, who
are other whistleblowers in the FBI?
Oh, no, they look. The FBI looked at their credit
too. Twice the month they were
suspended, including one four days beforehand.
Then once more this past October, Garrett notes.
Wonder why is it perhaps they're doing all they can to make the
process the punishment? It's not just a story about you
and me and Garrett. I found out there are more
involved. I actually reached out to some
folks, other folks that have been involved in whistleblower
activity. We're going to talk about it on
Dance radio show today. I love that we got a Dan in our
corner because man, how screwed are we without a Dan Bongino?
It's it's great. I mean, he's, he's a great
resource for us, but he's all just a good guy.
And he's said to us every occasion I've had a chance to
interact with him, he's always just like whatever you need,
man. You know, I appreciate what
you've done and I want to be there.
And he gave me the best advice that I've gotten to date, which
was never, ever shut up. Just stay as loud as you can, as
vocal as you can, because the moment you don't is when you're
going to be the most vulnerable, which is why we're trying to
build out the suspendables network here. 100% and folks
find yourself an advocate and A and a friend like Dan Bongino if
you are in the fight for your life which we we're constantly
sort of saying that metaphorically.
I don't know that we are literally trying to hold on to
our lives. But I can't rule it out either
And he's been true to his word every single time to all of us,
which is pretty awesome. That's why I just want to play
that. That was from yesterday's show
if you didn't see it And like I said I'll be on his radio show
today a little bit later on. Steve Friend, you've got a
podcast coming up tomorrow. I watched.
The Radicals podcast on rumblerumble.com/amrad Pod, me
and Garrett Boil. We do that Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday. Saturdays is at noon so everyone
can sleep in. We've moved the time on Tuesday
and Thursday to 8:30 AM Eastern Times, and tomorrow Garrett's
actually going to be the content creator.
We're going to be doing a deep dive on what actually is First
Amendment protected speech and what isn't, because that's
something that's been in the news lately, particularly from
that Stillwater. OK, Carewoman.
I dig it. I dig it a lot.
I also like. So folks, they were asking the
chat earlier, hey, when, when is this happening?
When is the move happening? The move has already happened.
You guys are already in the mornings.
You're filling in on the days that Tracy Beans is not doing
the dark to light at 8:30 Eastern Time, 7:30 Central.
For me, it's prior to our show and you've got roughly an hour
you guys are doing and and I listened to yesterday's, it was
solid stuff, there was some good offering and giving that behind
the scenes look of trying to write the bill and how unserious
the serious people are. By the way, our chat went off on
a chemtrails side tangent, so they're going to have to turn
around and listen. Again, apologies.
I've got this really great little icon that someone sent
me. Or it's like a it's a fake
screen from inside of a plane and it just shows like activate
chemtrails, like mind control, flatten the earth like a couple
of other things, control the weather.
It's all good climate change. Anyway, I'm going to get them
all riled up again, buddy, Thanks for joining me again.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
We'll do this again next week. And folks, you can follow Steve
at Real Steve Friend. If you have not done so already,
then you are screwed up. Don't be screwed up.
Follow Real Steve Friend on Twitter X Follow him.
Real under score Steve Friend on True Social are indispensable
contributor not just to the Emerald Robinson show, but also
to the possibly superior Kyle Serafin show on Friendly
Fridays. OK, let's wrap this sucker up
with just a little bit more. Here's a five star review
referencing the previous types of people that are always on
this show and it says Friendly Friday.
What a good one to choose. This is from TP Kansu who has
done something before Kyle, Steve and Garrett, Friendly
Fridays are the best, most rounded broadcast.
I always laugh with a touch of sarcasm, however GOB pulls it
together with great scripture. I was forced to listen on Apple
podcast since we had a town wide Wi-Fi outage.
However, either either way, I was always laughing at the
banter from the brotherhood. You guys bring, I think the
messages to go far and wide on social media.
No matter what side of the aisle you're on, the FBI will always
come after you. As with the Oklahoma woman, this
is a very timely, timely review. Keep up the great work you do,
always putting a humorous twist on reality.
TPH 14, I know you're out there in the chat, so thanks so much.
TPH 14 or TP Cantu. I don't know which one you are
that that request for it to go far and wide.
We really do appreciate if you guys share the show around, if
there are things that you are learning from them.
It's a particular issue. Tell somebody that you know,
like don't share it on social media necessarily.
Reach out to your friend, group of people that might have this
information not available to them and just say, hey, this
show really hit for me. This is why whenever I share a
news article what the one of my friends will will write.
If one of my friends or one of the reporters that were friendly
with writes, we always try to do this.
What is the piece of that article that I think is relevant
that nobody like that's deep in the article that they didn't
see. And I put it out there and I go,
hey, look at this paragraph, this paragraph says a lot and it
should tell people to go and read the article and I think we
get some traction on that. I would encourage you guys to do
the same thing for our show. If there are things that that
that really hammer for you, call out what it is when you share it
and share it by hand. Don't share it.
Just broadcast in the world. Nobody wants that.
It's what was called the the roast beefing of the
credentials. It's the same kind of story.
All right. That's the end of it for the
day. You guys have a wonderful
weekend. You have a blessed and a safe
weekend. I hope you are long on America
the way we are. And look for the Dan Bongino
radio show. It'll also be on the Saturday
special sounds like for tomorrow.
So if you guys are a Dan Bongino podcast only listener, you can
check the radio interview is supposed to be going up there.
I haven't done it yet. I don't know what I'm going to
say, but we'll have a fun time and look forward to seeing you
guys all on Monday morning. God bless and I will see you
soon. Thanks for listening to The Kyle
