Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and
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 is Friday, it is May the
2nd and it is a friendly Friday. And we will be having my dear
friend Steve Friend on recently proclaimed to be a leftist Lib
Democrat for his statements with Julie, with Jesse Kelly telling
people that he thought maybe we should disarm the FBI.
Maybe we take the threat of the FBI, our former bosses, and say,
look, if you want to get a search warrant and you want to
serve it on the American people, perhaps you should go through
somebody in your state who has a law enforcement authority.
Maybe we do that. That, by the way, was the
original incarnation of the FBI known as the Bureau of
Investigation. Before they were armed, they
were still out there doing investigations.
They just didn't, you know, shoot anybody in the head over
it. So that makes you a Lib.
That's what we're going to do here today.
We're going to do Lib stuff. We're going to poke fun at the
place we used to work. And I'm going to tell you
something that I never thought I would say.
I miss Chris Ray. And so in honor of missing Chris
Ray, I, I pulled some Chris Ray clips and some of you have been
seeing. Meet the old boss, same as the
new boss. Meet the new boss, same as the
old boss. We're there right now.
I got some proof for you. What do they call that over on
the Bongino show? Receipts.
OK, I had someone tell me that I can't talk about the FBI anymore
because I'm not part of the arena anymore.
I'm not in it. We'll see about that.
Also, Mike Waltz apparently has left the chat.
So that is sad. I actually found out the way
many of you did, which is that I got a text message from Matt
Waltz with Mike Waltz. We'll show that in just a little
bit here and kind of let you in on the secret that he is now
going to the UN, which hopefully is going away as well.
Couple good things to go on. And then lastly, fertility,
birth rates, having children, and leftist don't like it.
Go figure. It doesn't seem like an
important thing out there. It was covered by friends at
Catholic Vote that the fertility rate of 2.1 is actually not
enough. It's an extinction level
situation. So we need to be making more
babies. We're doing our part in the
Seraphin household. Where are you on that front?
We'll talk about that in a minute as well.
Let's get started with something that I think we can all
appreciate. Big Tech is constantly looking
to try to screw with you. The folks in the government
would love to have access to your information.
Some of them do, so just a little reminder, you have to
take that into your own hands. There's no other way to do it
except protect yourself. You can start with my friends
over at silentitsslnt.com/kyle. They're a Faraday product
manufacturer. They block all incoming and
outgoing signals. That's going to be all the RF
stuff, whether it's Bluetooth, whether it's Wi-Fi, whether it's
your signal that goes in and out for your data connection.
These things essentially make your devices invisible and safe
from the outside world. They are things that I used when
I was working for the FBI, but it's hard to find a commercially
available one that actually lives up to the hype.
Most of them fail. The silent ones passed all my
tests that I used to use when I was in the Bureau.
Recommend their products fully. I have one sitting on the desk
right now. This is the sleeve.
In fact, I've got a phone in my back because it's going to go in
there. Sometimes we do it on camera and
that's what we do all right. So whether it be their
backpacks, their phone sleeves, even pants that have signal
blocking technology built in to stop Wi-Fi and wireless signals,
giving you Peace of Mind so your data doesn't go into the wrong
hands. All you got to do is put your
device inside and close it. That's how long it takes.

because mine always does that. slnt.com slash Kyle save some
money, check them out. Their backpacks are fantastic
looking. You're seeing one on the screen
right now, the E3 everyday. All right, we're going to get
into all kinds of wild stuff, including things that may have
something to do with phones. Here comes the fun.
Let's get started. I got the Steve friend on the
line. Hey buddy, how you doing?
I'm just rocking here as the face of liberalism and Democrats
within the country for my conversation with the Crown
Prince of Matt Gaetz on OAN, which is apparently too
conservative for cable. It was OAN, that's right, it
wasn't. It wasn't Jesse Kelly, although
I feel you were on. Were you on Jesse Kelly recently
too? I did both this week and that
was both, I think, opportunity to to share information with the
the viewers of those programs. So we're just kind of like still
bebopping along, still think they won the Super Bowl because
November happened. How is Gates program?
My father recently just told me that it is very, very well done,
that he's a kind of a natural broadcaster.
Is that your experience? Yes, yeah, he definitely takes a
skill set that he brought as a almost pugilistic style
interrogator, as a prosecutor, then also as a congressman.
He asked questions and did so. I mean, I wouldn't say it was
aggressive, like, like I didn't feel like under threat, but he
definitely like pushed you a little bit and I respect that.
It wasn't like the Hannity where he monologue for 45 seconds and
then says, don't you agree with me?
But don't you agree with him? Mostly.
Yeah, mostly. OK, what was?
What was the apparently controversial thing that you
said? Will you lay out the plan?
Because we people always go, well, why don't you just be part
of the solution? Where's your where's your plans?
Like, hey, a holes. The plan has been floated,
including the people who are the current director of the FBI.
You've had phone calls with cash.
I have. I've had phone calls with cash.
We've had them together. We've had them individually.
Yes. Yes, yeah, we're a part of a
nice little Signal chat group that unfortunately no members of
the media got into. No members we didn't add like
Adam Goldman or anything. What were the nature of the
calls that you got? I'm just going to, so let's just
do credibility here. What were the nature of the
calls that you got from Cash Patel?
What was the either ask or information being shared?
Well, he asked us to to vet certain people names that he
actually had, but more often than not it was suggestions for
names of good people to elevate. And then just for also ideas,
policy standpoint. If you could give me a couple of
talking points if I had to fill one page on a PowerPoint slide
deck, like what? What sort of good, hard hitting
things can you give me so I can go talk to the boss about it?
Yeah, that's the same. I got the the same animal of
like, oh, you got 5 minutes with Donald Trump.
What are you telling him about the FBI?
It's like, OK, sure. Yeah, I'll, I'll give you that.
That's easy. This is what we do for a living.
At this point, I want you to lay out your plan, your idea.
This controversial. Apparently Lib plan to take guns
from the FBI. What does that look like?
I'm going to give the floor to you.
The plan that is published in The Federalist.
Not a left-leaning source, which is.
To publish for. Like a year and a half the plan
is to disarm the FBI because the FBI, as much as they like to
take credit for their founding in 19 O 8.
That's not when they were the FBI, that's when they're the
Bureau of investigations. They did not have firearms at
that standpoint. So I would actually eliminate,
and I do this across all federal law enforcement agencies limited
to just the US Marshals having some firearms, but I'll get rid
of the 1811 criminal investigator, that's the special
agent. And therefore make the FBI a
Bureau of Investigations unarmed.
But in order to bring about an arrest, if they wanted to do a
prosecution, say this person violated the law, they would
have to go to the local magistrate.
They would have to go to the sheriff or the police chief.
And they already do that now because they take those people
in in order to get extra manpower.
And then they give them deputization as a federal agent.
So you'll have a Sheriff's Office or sheriff's deputy
detective who has state arrest authority because if he's a
sheriff's deputy, but he also get because of the US Marshall,
they give him that federal arrest authority, either Title
18, Title 21, whatever it is, is.
And in effect, if the FBI brought forward investigation
and of a radical traditional Catholic who they said was a
domestic terrorist, the sheriff could say, I'm not going to do
that. But in order to stop wasting
your time, why don't you help my people do what we're doing,
which is roundup trende aragua members.
So I think that it would be enough a way to small R
Republicanized federal law enforcement and actually do what
they say they do, and that is liaise with their local partners
as opposed to just take credit for what they already did.
How many SWAT arrests do you think or SWAT search warrants
you did you serve at at various residences around the US?
So if SWAT for five years and we are fairly active, so let's say
we did 2 SWAT operations a month, so that's like 120
operations. All right.
And did you often or always engage local law enforcement to
do a vehicle at the end of the street to do turn on the lights
and and basically stop traffic and and do sort of perimeter and
crowd control? Yes, yes, you always did that
because you didn't call them. To have a blue on blue situation
where somebody calls and says hey, there's banging going on
there potentially could be gunfire, and then the police
come in and you have a really bad situation.
There's a bunch of dudes wearing pyjamas that are driving in a
tank and they don't seem like they have any markings that say,
you know, Sheriff's Department or or Police Department on them
'cause that's the old FBI. It's infill.
Right, Yeah, infill equals walk. How far is the average infill in
your experience? Roughly 18 to 24 feet.
That's a long walk, the. Distance from the front yard to
up the porch is the infill, which is the actually the only
time that you could use night vision goggles.
So just let people understand what the FBI is and what it is
not. How many, how many people there
are pretending, either reliving military glory days or
pretending that they're in the military when they're not.
Would you say in the SWAT world? In the SWAT world, the guys that
had brought a military background, it's almost like a
fantasy camper or it's a relief for them because so many of them
because are doing counterterrorism,
counterintelligence and they're not really doing anything on any
given day. And it's a opportunity for them
to go play Army for a couple of days, go practice their skill
set, practice a close quarter battle, and then go out and
actually put handcuffs on bad guys, the thing that they signed
up to do originally. So my experience with most of
the SWAT guys, they're good guys, they're just still skill
set is not put into what it should be.
I was a unique exception to that where I was actually busy
arresting people on my own. In fact, the SWAT team guys were
always like, hey, let us know when when you can get us up
there so we can go do like an Indian Country arrest because
that would be really fun. Because most people in the FBI
are not putting handcuffs on people on any given day.
Most people in the FBI is my experience.
Never arrest someone in their entire career and and look, I.
I've watched, let me, let me give you the worst example of
this. I watched people in the
counterintelligence program that I was in when I first got
assigned to Washington Field. Now, I had an exceptional first
day and I think I've told you this before, but I got picked
up, I think it was on 12/12 of 2016 by my, my training agent at
about 3:00 AM or 3:30 AM. My wife and I were, we didn't
have any kids at the time and it was a brand new job.
So she woke up and made me breakfast, which never happened
again. Basically because like, like
once you start waking up at 3:00 AM, mama's like not, not
interested. She was pregnant.
She made me breakfast. My, my, the training agent
picked me up. We drove to the middle of this
like crappy part of Washington, DC.
It's pissing rain like a movie. We're standing out there
briefing underneath the overhang in a library.
We mounted up. We went out there and we were
part of like a 19 or 20 house PCP junkie ring, you know,
trafficking organization that was doing drugs.
It was a bunch of black gang members selling and moving and
manufacturing PCP in Southeast DC.
So I hit the house with a RAM within the first couple hours of
getting like my real field office time.
In fact, my picture at Washington field office.
What is what is the ID picture on your It's not a cat card.
What they what are they called a sax badge?
A sax. Badge.
What is that? What did that always look like
it. Looks a lot like your Ed's
picture. I mean, you're.
It's a suit. Suit looks like you posed at the
DMV. OK, it's a suit.
It's a tie. It's what you show up on your
first day in the office when they, like, show.
Like here's your friend, he just came out of Quantico and like,
here's where his cubicle is going to be.
That that's your picture, right? Yes, absolutely.
Mine was me wearing a tactical fleece and having roughed up
hair from wearing a baseball cap from serving a search warrant
for a couple hours. And then I rolled in and they're
like, we're taking the picture right now.
That's pretty awesome. I mean, you have to have the
badge, so it I guess it stands to reason that would happen, but
it and. Here's the thing, I brought a
suit in the car of my my training agent who actually was
a SWAT guy. So he's like helmeted up.
He's got the Peltors on the whole deal.
He's like cocking into his comms.
I'm just pushed to talk like a cool guy.
He's got the boom mic, the whole thing.
And I'm like, this is a little bit much for a bunch of regular
people, like, like a chick who's standing out here on perimeter
who's like, looking around trying to figure out what to do
in the back alley. And we hope to God that nobody
goes running out the back because they're going to tackle
her because she's, you know, 5-7 and $1.15 pretty, but like, you
know, tacklable. And look, in Full disclosure,
they let you know if, hey, if we get a runner, we'll get them
another day. Don't go chasing anybody Like
yeah, there's. No, upside up.
Yeah, exactly that. Anyway, so all that's really
funny to me. Oh, so again, end of the day,
most cops are most sorry. Most FBI agents are not using a
gun. Like probably 99%.
We actually had a friend, we have a mutual friend now we keep
in touch with who's back to being a cop, who when he was
working as an FBI agent, refused to carry his gun.
Just put it in the desk because he was embarrassed because he
used to be a guy who needed a gun in his job and then didn't
need it anymore. And he was like, yeah, this is
not a gun job. Let's use somebody who is
actually in the, the Pareto's law, the 8020 rule, somebody
who's part of the 20% doing 80% of the work, a producer, Sir
Emeritus Phil Kennedy, okay, he was working white collar crimes,
public corruption crimes. He's told me in his what 1415
year career with the FBI, he only arrested like 9 subjects
because there were complex cases.
And that's what you expect the FBI to do.
They're not out there making probable cause arrests like the
guys in Indian Country typically do.
Like we were taught that in the Academy, like you will never
make a probable cause arrest like.
I did an interview with, we did an interview with Mark, with
Mark Kreider. If people can go back in the
channel back when I was sitting in a trailer and doing this and
he was just like, if you ever want to give an assistant United
States Attorney an aneurysm, call them up and tell them that
you've made a probable cause based arrest without a warrant,
like a warrantless arrest. They will crap themselves
because they don't know what to do because this is not a, this
is not a tactic that they they practice.
The FBI is not made of cops investigators in theory.
They taught us in the Academy, the legal instructor we had, he,
I had a really good legal instructor, former cop and he
actually is now legal advisor to HRT.
And he said, look what we have to teach you about making a
probable cause arrest. That's never going to happen.
We have to teach you about how to drive emergency vehicles, but
you're never going to get into a vehicle chase.
So on the day that I got into a vehicle chase and made a
probable cause arrest, I sent an e-mail to my legal instructor
and he's like, where are you? And I was like, Indian country.
He's like, that doesn't count. That's that doesn't.
Count Exactly because you don't. You're not even part of the FBI
mission according to people in the FBI Like you're So it's a
different country. It is literally they consider it
to be a different country. It's almost an OCONUS post and
almost all of them are considered hardships and they
only put certain people in to do it.
So end of the day, all I'm trying to get people to
understand is, is that the FBI that you think exists?
It's not the one that's out there.
Steve friends saying that we should disarm these people.
And maybe like, like, I don't know, like have some elected
officials like your City Council who probably have some say or
your mayor who has some say on what your police chief does.
Or better yet, the people who get to a vote and and elect a
sheriff in most places. Wouldn't it be nice to actually
have a little bit of say rather than having, I don't know, some
dude getting shot in the head because he worked at an airport
and he bought 6 glocks one day and the ATF decided to go down
the door. Or some guy made some stupid
threat online but he barely walks with a cane so an FBI
agent shoots him in the head because he picked up a revolver
in the middle of the night when when they came in through the
door. It just reorients the priority
set and you want the sheriff to bring crime down as opposed to
having a national initiative and juking the quota system so that
we can make the numbers look bigger so we can get more
funding and artificially create that image of like, look how
much good work we're doing. But if the sheriff comes in and
says, wow, look how high our crime numbers are, he's going to
lose his job. That's right.
The FBI gets more money for it. The FBI gets money for it from
Congress. But you're like, Oh my, Oh my
Lord, terrorism's on the rise. We got more terrorism cases.
Yes, we may have incited some of these people and we recruited
people to go out there and claim that they were terrorists when
they weren't. But but yeah, we need more
money. And then Congress obliges.
We made a a quick allusion to Matt Gaetz.
I got a little bit of him coming forward in the a little bit
later in the show. Let's start with a new story
here. Since we're talking about cops
doing cop stuff, this became a federal case, but it is not a
federal case. When it started, this was a
regular traffic stop story. We keep getting more and more of
this stuff. We continue to hear more about
Abrego Garcia, this dude who is now the most famous member of
MS13 and the most famously deported illegal alien probably
in the history of America. A judge has also decided to rule
in on that Alien Enemies Act. This is a judge in Texas.
They make a big point of it on ABC News pointing out that is a
Trump appointed federal judge who has permanently blocked the
administration from detaining, transferring or removing
Venezuelans targeted for the deportation of the Alien Enemies
Act in the Southern District of Texas.
The Southern District of Texas is an interesting animal because
it has a lot of Clinton era judges in there.
There's a lot of people in there.
But this one apparently is a Trump era judge.
And I don't know if it matters or not, but his name is
Fernandez Rodriguez. I'm sure that the Latino blood
has nothing to do with him having sympathies towards dudes
who came to this country. The ruling marks the first time
that federal judges declared Trump's use of the Alien Enemies
Act is unlawful in the way that they're doing it.
By the way, the Supreme Court did rule on this, right?
You remember seeing that? What they said is, is that they
didn't rule on the constitutionality or the
legality of actually using the law.
So this is now a novel thing. This is going to make it back up
to SCOTUS again. Trump's going to set the the
record for most lawsuits, probably on the single thing,
because they continue to use it. And thank God they do.
Honestly, I'm just like, yeah, push this guy out.
We're in a situation right now where they have continually, you
try to use the term like this is going to be a constitutional
crisis. They're basically speaking this
into existence, like be a judge inserting him or herself in a
situation, effectively going beyond the judiciary and taking
on creating laws, legislative power and trying to act as an
the executive in executing those laws.
Like that in itself is a constitutional crisis.
And you're going to force Donald Trump and his administration's
hand and they're just going to come to the Andrew Jackson
conclusion and say, like you and what army?
And I think that they're going to be on pretty firm ground by
doing that. They're going to have a lot of
support from people because people went to the polls and
issued the mandate. And the two biggest things to
them were one was the inflation and two was the immigration.
And immigration is massive and it pulls really well for those
people. You're going to get the Norm and
Norma Normie in the suburbs to the polls in 2026 for the
midterms. If you're able to actually
affect some of these deportations, which as much as
they're trying to pump them up, guys like we're on track for
less than 1,000,000 deportations in four years.
Which is not enough, I don't think.
This is maybe my favorite clip. I know you already know it
because you were singing along to it when we were prepping this
morning. As I put this on, this is the
clip of the, again, the wife getting pushed.
Interestingly enough on ABC News, this is the wife of Abrego
Garcia being asked the one question.
Hey, did he beat you? She said he's alive.
So here we'll just play this real quick and then we're going
to do the body Cam footage from his quote UN quote human
trafficking. Stop.
I have to ask it you, you did take out a temporary order of
protection against your husband in 2021.
Were you in fear of your husband?
Husband is alive. That's all I can say.
OK, and you know, not going to push on that apparently, but
there's nothing weirder than complete dead air.
And I love that she just absolutely.
She's like, I'm not answering that question.
I love how she got completely dominated by a very simple
question, and I know you're not a sports balls guys, but that's
Michael Strahan, defensive end for the New York Giants.
She got dominated by a jock. Didn't didn't he like replace
Regis Philbin and he was isn't that his his job like.
I don't know what any of the palace intrigue is at over those
morning shows. And there's certainly not doing
hard hitting information, but apparently.
Yeah, that's not a hard hitting. Journalism from Michael Strahan.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So here's another little bit.
This is coming from, this is from, what's his name, Jesse
Waters doing prime time. They share the body Cam footage.
This is what actual cops do. They go do an investigative
traffic stop. Do you want to tell people what
your authority was to stop a vehicle when you were working as
an FBI agent? As an FBI agent, it's none.
You don't do vehicle stops. Yeah, not a thing.
You get locals to do some sort of probable cause stop and you
stand back at a far distance because there could be something
dangerous happened. The the funniest moments I had
is when my, my boss had us practicing vehicle assaults for
pulling people out, which we actually ended up doing a couple
of those things that weren't necessary, but we had warrants.
They were long term cases. These were actually Ms. 13 guys
in the same, in the same vein. And unlike our, our, our buddy
Phil, who, you know, work in white collar, you're never,
you're going to get cuffs on somebody like once every year or
two if you're lucky. We had, we had three subjects
arrested by my team in a period of about, I don't know, six
hours. And then Washington field
offices, 50 man SWAT team also got 3 subjects.
So my six man team punched well above its weight back in the
day. This is, this is what a vehicle
stop looks like. This is the, the guy being
caught and you can listen to him.
A lot of people probably never heard his voice.
They've seen pictures of him hanging out with a senator,
drinking margaritas and my ties down in down in El Salvador,
which looks nice. But this is him being caught
driving the lefties. By the way, in the comments, the
same ones that are mad about Steve Friend being a leftist
trying to disarm the FBI. These people were like, so he
was on a traffic stop. He was driving with some of his
friends from Maryland to Saint Louis.
It's like, yeah, that's what people do. 8 strangers in the
freaking car. Here we go.
Van Holland changes tune because every day another shoe drops on
the Maryland dead. He was a suspect in a human
trafficking operation dating back three years.
And Fox Digital just got their hands on the body Cam, but
you're seeing it here first. Tennessee Highway Patrol stop
Kilmar for speeding and noticed he had eight other people in the
car, all no luggage. Take a look.
Hello, Sir, How are you? Hello.
And you all right? Anything good?
You've got a bunch of people here, don't you?
It's 14C. Yes.
Go back to work. Gotcha.
Where you where you working at? Where?
San Luis, Missouri.
Missouri. Yes, Sir.
Gotcha. OK, I'm from to Maryland.
Where do you live at? I I where are you living?
I live in Maryland. Maryland.
Yeah. Also whose whose vehicle is it?
Whose car is it? It's to my boss.
The boss. Where's he live?
Where's your boss live? My my boss right now is stay in
Maryland, but he he lived in on Texas.
OK. Houston, TX.
After talking to Kilmar, the officers had no doubt he was
trafficking. You know what you got here,
right? He's he's hauling these people
for money. You got an ass holler is what
he's doing. But.
Sometimes they kill mingled open.
No, but he. All right, we'll cut away from
that. That's the that's the supervisor
on scene giving his assessment of the thing.
Steve, you've done a number of vehicle stops as a cop.
Someone tells you that they're from Maryland.
They're driving to Saint Louis. Where do you live?
I'm in my boss's car and he live in Maryland, but he stays in
Texas. Where from?
What's that? What's that all tell you about
what this guy's telling? You just filling the void the
that the Abrego Garcia's wife was unable to fill with lots of
information that is not relevant and that that's deception.
That's what's going on. And and look, this is completely
independent. That cop did what I'm a big fan
of and he went to the passenger side when he made his stop.
One, you're not going to get knocked over by a driver,
especially in the dark. But secondly, like you catch
that person by surprise if they got bad intention for you.
So I like that cop style. It's yeah.
I mean, this is like, you know, somebody who does this for a
living, this was the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
So this is like they do stops solo one man all the time.
Somebody used to always joke with me.
They were a former state state patrolman.
One of my buddies was a was a sheriff's deputy and he was like
what the FBI does with like a 20 man team I used to do with me
and a partner if I was lucky, like single man entries in a
trailer was regular. If, if there was a extra
circumstances, you know, knocking on a door solo, pulling
people over by yourself on a regular basis, we would
literally get one highway patrolman or a Virginia State
Police officer to do a pullover. And like you said, there'd be
like 20 agents, like hanging out behind there, sitting 150 yards
away, like waiting to help out, like whenever it came up.
I've made felony traffic stops by myself as a cop.
And just because you had to do it right, you didn't have an
opportunity like, well, this, this car is supposed to be, you
know, it's a BOLO comes out and like it happened to drive by me
and like, I got to do this right now.
It's a shift change time helps not coming.
There's a reason that I got that guy get paid and I got training.
So hopefully this goes well for me.
There's an inherent risk and you know, on the Indian countryside
of things where it's really unique, you're on your own
country, You're not really in the same Bureau.
Like we got pushback from people who were afraid to do the job.
We got people who did not work where we'd worked doing
different violations who found out what we were doing and
complained about it because they said that it was a violative of
policy being like, I arrested somebody and had transported
them because it was a 3 1/2 hour drive by myself and I had to
have them shackled and belly band and I did all of that.
It's like, well, you really need to have a second person.
Well, I'm sorry, I don't have a second person available.
I'd be more than happy to have you come out and help me if
that's what you want to do. But that would require you to
put a gun on your hip and leave from your cubicle.
So why are you complaining? Those people probably didn't
need the gun. They would be just fine with the
idea. We had a long thought
experiment, me and Phil Kennedy, at one point in time, where we
decided that if you were to break the FBI into two different
factions, all would get the name.
They would. All the special agents would get
a choice check, yes or no. Do you want to join the Pink
Pussy patrol where you will get pink handcuffs, a pink painted
Glock, a pink set of credentials and badge, and you will go out
and arrest bad guys on a daily basis.
The other people will get to wear suits and ties.
They'll get to eat salads. You will get no gun, but you
will get the badge and you'll be called special agents of the
FBI, 8090% of the FBI is going to want to be the special agent
for the title. They're more than happy to take
that. It wouldn't even offend most FBI
agents to not have to carry a gun to the point where we've
seen female agents show up at new offices, go and talk to one
of the administrative staff and say, so I'm new here.
Where do I put my gun when I'm at work?
And they're like, I don't know, dude, you're an FBI agent.
Like you're supposed to figure out what to do with the gun.
We'll get back on more of that. I'm, I'm obviously riled up
right now. So we're going to go ahead and
talk about my friends over at Blackout Coffee.
Let's cut over to that real quick.
And folks, we've been telling you about Blackout Coffee for a
couple months now. We got some guests in the house
right now. The, the patriarch and the
matriarch of the Seraphin clan are here and we are drinking.
I think I went through like 2 liters times 2 of a blackout
coffee. It's a good company.
They're making coffee that kicks you right in the beans and get
you started in the day. They built their company based
on hard work and grit and American values.
It's not just another coffee brand.
Founders are now working out of a large 64,000 square foot
warehouse. They're roasting all the beans
and house. They're packing them every order
themselves employing 30 hardworking Americans.
Not ass haulers like guys who may or may not be an MS13 that
got exported from the United States.
Just a damn good coffee made by people who care.
Blackout Coffee is not just making a great cup of coffee.
They're supporting the American dream.
You guys can support it as well with your own American dream.
Do things the right way. Hard work, real values, coffee
that gets you moving in the morning.
You can always tell I'm always rocking and rolling.

Again, it's blackout. coffee.com/kyle.
Stop drinking wheat coffee. Get yourself started off the
right way. I am drinking the pitch black.
I am an espresso roast, as dark as it gets kind of guy.
So just out there. Steve, I feel like you're not a
coffee guy. Is that true?
You don't drink coffee. No, I don't drink coffee.
What's up with that? I've never been a hot beverage
guy. It just doesn't.
Do well, you know what you know what I'm not I had I had a
conversation one time when I was in college and somebody's like,
you want to do you want a tuna fish Panini and I was like,
something about the idea of a hot fish sandwich just turns me
off in a big way. I could understand why when you
say it like that, I'm I'm more inclined to agree with you.
This is why we have different but valuable perspectives.
Yeah, it's the same thing as like naming something sour
cream. Is that the worst name product
ever? It was like, oh, this cream is
really good, let's call it sour. All the sours I'm out of it.
Some people like sour stuff. Not my thing.
OK, how about this this is just kind of funny.
I think it's really amusing when CNN has to cover something that
they don't want to. This was the lead story they had
on this on the page this morning.
It says the United States economy added a stronger than
expected 177,000 jobs in April. Oops.
When you have to cover Donald Trump positively, that always
makes me laugh. They go on and talk about how
they expected one thing, that they've been soft numbers and
the, the economy is, you know, sort of like constricting and
GDP and blah, blah, blah. But people are getting jobs
because, you know, the threat of shutting down certain things,
the fact that a Republican is in office who tends to be less
regulation and more probusiness, it actually has an effect.
And then for whatever reason, we're showing a bunch of people
standing there on their phones at like a job booth.
That's the picture that they had, which will be funny because
we're going to talk about phones and Signal chats and so on.
Job fair. Man I love how we have to revise
the numbers up. When was the last time that ever
happened when it came to the jobs?
Nope, it do not happen like that.
That is not the way that it normally goes down.
So while we're talking about people and populations and
numbers, this is kind of interesting.
I want to just tease it out here.
This came from the folks over at Catholic Vote.
I thought it was a good story. It's got a couple of cute kids
on the screen. Says new study says that the
replacement birth rate of 2.1 child children per woman is
likely too low for a population to survive.
In other words, the current production rate of Americans by
Americans is an extinction level situation.
Elon Musk, not wrong about you got to go out and have babies.
You're under the curve. By the way, apparently the real
number should be closer to 2.7 children per woman.
And the friend family is deficient.
What are you doing? I've got, I've got you made-up
for it. Well in fact, in fact me and
Gerardo Boyle are covering for you and and our buddy Phil all.
Right. So, yeah, so we, it's going to
take a village here from the suspendable standpoint that we
can weigh way be in excess of this this number.
So I I feel pretty comfortable with it, but I'm curious about
why they've revised that number up.
I mean, is it because maybe we injected an experimental genius
into arms and it's going to render a lot of women infertile?
Quite interesting the mathematical models that were
being used. The team examined how variations
in fertility, mortality and the likelihood that some adults will
never reproduce can significantly increase the
decline of a population even when the society meets the
so-called traditional replacement level birth rate.
Considering. I love it when people use the
word stochiasticity, Stochiasticity, infertility.
Considering stochiasticity, infertility and mortality rates,
and sex ratios, says Diane Carmella and Karasminma, a
fertility rate higher than the standard replacement level is
necessary to ensure the sustainability of our
population. Anyway, there's a short answer
it's go out and have more babies.
Unless you're a clown, and in exact contrast to this coming
from the folks over at CBS, why more couples are choosing a life
without children. It's just.
So miserable. They look so sad.
That looks like the the most effeminate grown man with a
beard and a bald head that I've ever seen, and he looks like
he's being LED around by a blue haired heads a woman who has.
Like 1/2 shaved head, you know she's a girl boss.
She's got half of my haircut and she's out there running that
around. How?
I don't know, every animated
character now that's female has to have that.
Steve, this goes along with what we actually talked about the
other day. Apparently there's a trend of
men trying to look more masculine by shaving off their
their eyelashes, not their brows, their eyelashes.
And they don't want to look like feminine beat with, with large
lashes. Apparently JD Vance has them.
So rather than like, I don't know, like pumping iron, lifting
weights, doing push ups, going for a run, you know, I don't
know what else you could do Walker.
Like, you know what's really masculine looking to me?
When you scoop up all of your kids at once, especially when
you have four of them. I can get one on my back and
three in my arms. And it's not very cool cuz
you're carrying about 200 lbs with a kid, but you're just
like, dude, what is more hyper masculine than carrying your
entire offspring like your lineage in your arms?
Or you could, I don't know, cut off your, your eyelashes.
That's apparently a thing. Yeah.
That's way easier than actually like pumping iron and lifting up
small people. Like we wouldn't need to have an
easier more comfortable route. We need the easy button to that.
And again, isn't the more masculine thing to not give a
crap about what you look like? Isn't that the stereotype but
the person who's like Uber concerned about it that that's
the metrosexual and they came to the conclusion that shaving
their eyelashes made them look tough somehow.
I I don't know, that was probably spoken into their ear
by a woman with a half shaved head.
Like this lady who's wearing a jacket that matches her hair in
some sort of awful looking terrible teal.
I hope it's a natural. Clinton esque pantsuit.
Kind of, but it has like all these like hangy, dangly
thingies. I don't know.
All right, how about this? This is kind of fun.
I got a got notification yesterday like many of you guys
did. Got a text message from Mike
Walls, who was formerly A congressman out of Florida.
He stepped out of his seat in the House to go and join the
Trump administration, is the national security advisor.
Here's the text message. I got it just said, hey, I just
want you to know I got fired. My natural response was who is
this? Because I didn't know where the
text came from Over on Signal, he said this is Mike Waltz is
Donald Trump's national security advisor.
Well, former advisor, as I said, I just got fired.
You know, naturally, like many things when people how do you
get my number? And his answer was, hang on.
I'm just going to add a couple more people to this chat.
So. So Mike Waltz is out.
What's your assessment on this? You're a Florida guy, This, this
district is either close to you or you're in it.
I can't remember which one. Both.
I mean, I moved here.
I was actually in Mike Waltz's district, and then they redrew a
bunch of the districts and I'm out of it now by like 400 yards.
So I was a Congressional District 6.
I didn't leave the district. It left me.
Now I have Corey Mills, who's been accused of stolen valor.
So only the best coming from only the best.
Mike Waltz is a Green Beret, right?
Yeah, yeah. Just wait 5 minutes, I'll tell
you. Oh, does he have that problem?
Most Green Berets, like the really, the really like spooky
Green Berets won't tell you anything and you have to drag it
out of them. That's my favorite Green Beret.
If you're listening and you and you've been in the special
operations community, you know that there are certain people
who can't wait to tell you about how they're a Navy SEAL.
That's all. Navy Seals.
Or at least if you're a female. So, yeah, the joke was, is that
I, and I did this at Quantico. Actually, I made some friends on
my tour of Quantico. I'm going to just take the
screen for a second here. And, and I'm saying this with a
lot of love as a guy who's got a combat dive badge sitting over
my my shoulder here. And yes, that's a new, that is a
1942 U.S. military bayonet came out of World War Two.
It was hanging out in a, in a New York apartment that belonged
to my, my wife's uncle, which we call, we call it Uncle Grumpy
stuff. In any case, Steve, I'm on the
tour for Quantico. And as I'm sitting there, like
somebody is making fun of this dude who talked about being a
Marine. He's like, it was a former
Marine who's on Quantico or like, whatever it is.
And everyone's like, how do you know he's a Marine?
Another guy's like, he can't wait to tell you.
So we're like giving back and forth.
And then somebody else piped in and goes kind of like a Navy
SEAL. And I'm like, no, Seals are too
busy telling your girlfriend or your wife that they're Seals,
which has been my experience. And I have a couple Seals that
are in the mentor category of mine and actually help me get
through some of the stuff I was doing when I was in the Air
Force. I love all of the all of you but
the. Interagency rivalries are very
funny. As somebody on the outside, I
love to just like, rile it up and just leave it.
Dude, I, I had a girl come in to the emergency room when I was
working in the ER in, in, in Austin.
And so there's no, there's no basis of any substance.
There's like Camp Mayberry here or something like that.
And so there anyway, there's not like a lot of there, but there's
Colleen had what used to be called Fort Hood, now called
something else. Hopefully goes back to Fort
Hood. The Air Force Base is down in
San Antonio. So we get some mixture of
military, former military. This girl comes in and she's
skin labor, active labor, and she's wearing a Letterman
jacket, right? You know what I'm like?
So leather sleeves, the felt thing.
She's wearing a Letterman jacket and it says United States Air
Force on it, which is weird because I didn't know that we
lettered anybody unless you were at the Academy.
Yeah, other than the Academy doing, you know, how do you
playing football? I take the girl, I put her in
the in the wheelchair, which is our standard move.
And it's like a maybe it's like a four or 500 yard walk through
all these different parts of the hotel to get to the women's
center where they go and they and they have the babies.
So as we're kind of cruising through there, I've got this gal
and I'm just chatting her up and, you know, I've got my
paramedic scrubs on and I'm doing my thing.
I'm walking. And so I go, I go, everything is
going to be fine. I said, do you, do you have
someone you need to notify? Is there a father on the way or
something like that? She's like, he's in the
military. And I go, oh, OK.
And I go, why do you have an Air Force jacket on?
Are, are you in the service? And she's like, no, no, that's
my boyfriend. Like he's he's in the the Air
Force. And I was like, oh, I thought
you said he was in the military. And as a former Air Force guy,
that's my favorite joke is like making fun of it.
When people tell me that the Air Force is thinking about joining
DoD, I'm always like, yeah, well, you know, we kind of think
of ourselves as like paramilitary type guys.
Like it is we've got ranks. Yeah, let us do it.
So anyway, I'm making for she got pissed.
She's like doing the thing, having contractions, and she's
just like, she gets mad at me. She goes, she goes Fusion
United's the finest Air Force in the history.
I'm like, calm down. We can't have a baby in the
hallway, girl. Like I was in the Air Force.
I'm just giving you a hard time. Like I would do the same thing
if I saw your boyfriend by the way.
Somebody who made a baby with the person who was in the
military. Somebody.
Who's associated with the baby veterans?
Or she was so mad. Anyway, it's a good thing.
My favorite green Berets are the ones that you go like, hey, so
you know, what do you do for a living?
And they're like, oh, I'm, I'm in, I work for the, I'm, I'm in
the military. And you're like, oh, cool, what
part of the military are you in? They're like, yeah, I'm in the
Army. And you're like, cool, what do
you do in the Army? And they're like, you know, I
do. And they're like real vague and
a big, you know, like the quiet professional thing is a real
thing. All my buddies that I knew that
were Green Berets, I found out by dragging it like teeth out of
them. They didn't have the I love me
some me wall on their cubicle or in their office.
Everybody that has that that was military within the FBI you can
guarantee was a FOB at Intel person.
So yeah, my buddy actually came into his office one time and he
saw a new guy came in and he had the entire I love me.
It was all the awards he got for doing like something to a case
or he was serving on the arrest team that helped like a
director's award or some BS like that.
And he saw like this guy, like layout like this shrine to
himself on government property. So my buddy looks over and sees
that he has like a couple of challenge coins and he's got his
name tag and some other things, like a couple of things on his
desk that are like curious and personal.
And he opened up his drawer. He's an Indian country agent and
he swept all of his crap off and he just threw it in the drawer.
From then on, he had a sterile desk.
He was just like I'm whatever that guy is on the opposite of
it. We're talking about we're
talking about G BS. So let me let me do a little
quick read for the folks over at under tac folks.
They're the the only people that have made me change my mind
about underwear, which is an interesting thing to do.
We're going to talk about under tacwhichyoucanfind@undertac.com.
Use the promo code Kyle. They've got a buy three get one
free operation right now, the world's best boxer brief.
They are designed for special forces operators just like we're
talking about right now. People who work in Africa's
harshest tradition today, terrains rather people who are
doing some of the hardest work out there doing, you know,
foreign internal defense. I've got buddies who are on
KRIFT teams and stuff like that that worked in Africa.
If you guys want to get something that keeps up with
you. I still do a lot of physical
stuff. I still enjoy these things.
They are a great thing for either PT or for lounging.
They've got different options. The, the Recon is the one that
you would use if you're going to be doing some hard work or
rocking if you want to go outside and do some fitness
anyway. It's tactical gear that's built
for tough missions worldwide, rocking, crushing your soul,
destroying all the things that are out there that you need to
get done getting your missions. Set accomplished.
They have 50% better moisture wicking technology than cotton.
They keep you cool and dry and locked in.
They've got a hidden E&E pocket, things that make sense for
people that need to hide stuff, whether it be your weed or
whether it's your your Jason Bourne style SD card that's got
all your info on there. Check them out at undertac.com.
You can pair them up with the American made Marina wool socks,
which are a big thing I like. I'm a socks guy.
I've always been a socks guy. Anybody who's ever lived on
their feet or lived in a rock, which I did for four years
straight, socks are the they are the winner.
They make an urban OPS hoodie. Check some of their stuff out.
They're built comfy. They're keeping you comfy.
They're mission ready. It doesn't matter if you're at
the range, if you're hanging out on your couch and just your
undies and your hoodie, which may be something that happens in
the Seraphin household. Again, promo code Kyle, Kyle,
buy three, get one free. The offer will not last, so
check it out. That's basically 25% off and
that gets you your whole week's worth of laundry at once.
Steve, are you a big like get all the laundry and then try to
last for at least a week if not more?
Oh, I mean my wife, God bless her.
She's always doing laundry. She's got two boys, they're
growing in myself so. Multiple costume changes per
day. I, I need to check out Undertech
because I think I aired in my latest underwear purchase
because they, they don't have a, a family area.
Like you actually have to like, pull the whole thing down like
you're OK. So listen, while we're talking
about it, the fly on these, I've seen them on Tommy Johns, but I
don't like Tommy Johns. I tried to wear those.
My my mother bought me underwear, which is weird, but I
guess when you're I'm always her baby.
So she bought me. They have a, they have a
horizontal fly. So rather than doing like the,
the peak between the curtains like this, which is really
weird, it's like this, which makes more sense for the
orientation of the of the anatomy anyway, It's it's a much
more appropriate way to get a tack pee in which as someone who
has peed on the side of tracks, I'm sure you've peed on the side
of the road on a knee when you're out for a jog every once
in a while, you guys just do what you got to do sort of
useful. Just saying.
Invasion Almond ceases to amaze me that we could have gone like
how long with underwear and nobody thought of that.
That's nobody thought about like, hey, why are we
orientating it like in a vertical way?
So it like is a weep hole. Why don't we turn it so it's
like a freaking door open up anyway, I don't know.
It's a thing. Yeah.
And and there and there's offers an opportunity for you to keep a
spare almond so you can refuel yourself for a whole day.
Man I I may need to do a fast just to be able to fill all
those almonds. OK, all right, so hold on, let
me put this back in the screen just 'cause I like it.
There it is. There's my text message.
People take a screenshot. It's fun.
I want to talk about, like I said, Chris Ray, we lost.
We lost. Who would have known that we
would have actually missed Chris Ray at this point?
I'm not being that funny about it.
I'm just sort of sad. I want to talk about Chris Ray,
this guy now, the guy that you said we hit the thermal exhaust
port on. Here's a little refresher of
some of the the greatest hits of Chris Ray talking eloquently and
having feigned outrage about the radical, traditionalist Catholic
document. He's not up on the Catholic
orders the way that you are. He didn't go to Notre Dame.
Here's Chris Ray. I wonder where he went to
school. What do you think?
Without objection, director, what's the difference between a
traditional Catholic and a radical traditional Catholic?
I'm not a an expert on the the Catholic orders.
Well, your FBI wrote a memo talking about radical
traditional Catholics. I'm just wondering if you can
define it for us. Well, what I can tell you is
you're referring to the Richmond product, which was a single
product by a single field office, which as soon as I found
out about it, I was aghast and ordered it withdrawn and removed
from FBI systems. You were aghast.
And why won't you let us talk to the people who put it together?
We are working on finishing an internal review.
Into what? Happened here.
We have to wait. We, the Congress and the
American people have to wait until you do an internal review.
It's not a criminal investigation going on here, an
internal review before we can talk to the people who wrote
this. We when we finish our internal
review, which will be very soon. It's not ever going to be done,
and it never was done as far as we know.
Did anyone ever get fired over that?
No, no, actually, I think Stanley Meter, the special agent
in charge of FBI Richmond, is still there and posing with the
director, deputy director and pictures.
Talking about being good cops, something they don't know
anything about. That's interesting.
So they were doing an internal review, not a criminal
investigation. That seems relevant right now
because we keep hearing people talking about how do you know
how many criminal investigations Chris Ray ran?
Do you think during the eight years or so that he was in the
the chair? 0.
OK, so they don't do criminal investigations as a director.
What about the deputy? You think he ran any criminal
investigations from his desk? Unless they're Andy McCabe, no.
So which was probably illegal stuff like when you're.
Yeah, the ones that that get Office of Inspector General
reports, do you think Dan Bongino or Cash Patel are
running any investigations on the criminal level to arrest FBI
personnel? Is there a possibility of that?
No, no, and I wouldn't want them to do that.
OK, that's not what they do, by the way, that weird Richmond
field office thing. Of course the the question was,
did he perjure himself? Because of course the the house
was able to find out and there's a letter that's highlighted on
that screen that they were in fact three different other field
offices that were involved in at least the core information that
developed that the seed crystal for putting that thing forward.
Chris Ray was famous for letting us know that the right thing in
the right way at the right time for the right reason, with the
right people, with the right type of shoe wear and with the
right safety protocols in place. This was him visiting the
Holocaust. No, no, this is him at Ground
Zero for 911. Interestingly enough, I feel
like 911 was the turning point for the Bureau.
Do you share that with me as far as most recently and then Obama
after that? Yeah.
I think that those are two pretty big inflection points
when they made some significant changes the way that they
operated and also the personnel they were bringing in.
OK, so here he is giving an inspirational speech.
I missed these speeches. At this point I'm I'll give you
the alternate or or tongue in cheek people.
Hang in there. As you embark on your FBI
careers, I hope that the memory of this visit will help you stay
focused on the people you do the work for.
Remember, who's counting on you? Just counting on all of us.
We work to bring justice to the victims of terrorism and crime
and to their families. OK, so that is really nice.
Do you remember what happened? Did they ever figure out who the
pipe bomber was? No, I don't think they have.
I think that they keep just upping their award amount and
then saying, well, just trust us, bro.
We'll we'll turn it over at any given point here.
And then sorry, the cell phone data got corrupted and the cell
phone companies were like, no, it wasn't.
What are you talking about? Right.
And then he went in front of Congress and mentioned that this
was like this was later in the the in 2021, then we are
currently in 2025. In other words, it was more time
after January 6th. This is Thomas Massey asking
some questions. He's also on some congressional
testimony talking to people like Steve d'antuano, mentioning my
name randomly, which is funny fact that I'm in the
Congressional Record about all this stuff.
Here he is questioning about the pipe bomber.
I thought we would get that answer to they've had like five
years, 100. Days ago is when this happened
and you said you had total confidence we'd apprehend the
subject. We've found video that looks
like somebody, a passerby, miraculously found this pipe
bomb at the DNC and then notified the police
miraculously. I say because it was it
specifically the same, the precise time to cause the
maximum distraction from the events going on at the Capitol.
Can you show this video that we have, please?
I'd like to know if the director has seen this.
This is somebody with a with a mask on wearing a hat.
They're walking in front of the DNC, which is out of the view on
the right hand side. You'll see him come into view.
He goes to 1 police car. He goes to another police car.
He's holding a backpack. He's got a mask on.
He's talking to the police. So yeah, so we know who that guy
is, right? Not yet, apparently.
And, and, and look, let's just throw out any sort of like
conspiratorial nefarious things here.
What do we know about this individual?
They're actually the only, it's the same person that planted
both pipe bombs, the only person who engaged in using a weapon of
mass destruction theoretically that day on January 6th,
independent of what happened at the Capitol.
It's not the same investigation. We'd like to conflate that, but
it's independent. They did the planting of this
device, of these devices at an obscure time when it would be
easier to track them. Meanwhile, the government was
able to use the same technology to track down grandmas who were
standing in thralls of hundreds of thousands of people.
And yet this individual over the last four years has not carried
out another attack that seems very.
Odd. Yeah.
Yeah, that does seem odd. You know what also is odd?
Is that the same tactic that Jane's Revenge was able to use
over at the Civil Rights Division, where they declined
all the prosecutions? Do you have an excuse?
It happened at night. So just, I guess this is like
not, I'm not trying to advise people of this, but I am telling
you that operationally speaking, if you commit a crime at night,
the FBI is basically incapacitated, even if it
involves things like weapons of mass destruction in the National
Capital Region. That's a pretty telling
situation that tells me that we might need an overhaul.
Would you be proud of that at all?
Yeah, I think an overhaul is probably necessary at this
point. I mean, it's it's similar to
being like, well, you know, I, I committed a a complex financial
crime, but only pocketed $990,000.
So it just doesn't meet the threshold for this esteemed and
austere law enforcement entity. Go for 1/4 of a million, three
quarter of a million. Keep under the 1,000,000 in
certain areas. Keep under 5 million in other
areas like New York City or if you're in DC, you can get away
with that. Matt Gaetz, you talked to him
earlier this week. Was that yesterday?
Last night. Here's what happens when Matt
Gaetz, who does a pretty good job of going hard at Chris Wray,
he kind of leans into this thing, this defensive tactic.
I'm bringing it up for a very specific reason.
Whenever your question about what your agency is doing, the
best thing to do is to mention that people love you guys and
that's why they want to work there.
OK, here's Matt Gaetz engaging with Chris Wray.
People trusted the FBI more when J Edgar Hoover was running the
place than when you are. And the reason is because you
don't give straight answers. You give answers that that later
a court deems aren't true. And then at the end of the day,
you won't criticize an obvious shakedown when it's directly in
front of us and it appears as though you're whitewashing the
conduct of corrupt people. Respectfully, Congressman, in
your home state of Florida, the number of people applying to
come work for us and devote their lives working for us is
over. Up over a. 100% we're deeply
proud of them and they deserve better than you.
Oh, well, that's a good comeback.
But listen, how do you feel about recruiting numbers as a as
a health metric for a federal agency?
Steve Friend. I think that the appropriate
analogy may be for you because you did run a restaurant as
Wolverine. I mean, it was like X men's
Brewers and brewery or something like that.
But let's say that you ran a restaurant and all your
customers kept coming in. Hey, said, I keep getting food
poisoning at your restaurant. I'm not going to recommend it.
I'm not going to come here anymore.
And you said, well, I have a record number of people applying
to be waiters here. So I'm just not going to change
the way we do things. And it might be because I pay 20
thing it's because I pay 25 bucks an hour for a job that
other people do for for $12.00 an hour.
In a down economy, the opportunity to make $135,000 a
year to do relatively nothing. You're not even expected to
arrest bad guys or carry a gun mind you.
And you get 50 paid days off a year.
Time to work out and you can leave whenever you you want on a
Friday and you're surprised when people take you up on that.
No BS. I worked with cops in in New
Mexico who are making 40 thousand $45,000 a year doing
far more dangerous things on a regular basis.
So the ongoing question used to be, hey, how come you guys make
so much more money and cause 'cause we made $120,000 a year
as a base 13-1 in the rest of the United States.
I'll just tell you transparent, you guys can look this stuff up.
This is not like mysterious what an FBI agent makes as AGS 13 is
between 130 and $175,000 a year, not including benefits, not
including, you know, the, the matching part of your TSP, which
is like a four O 1K type thing. So all of that is to say you get
paid really well. And my answer to them was, look,
you get a lot of job satisfaction about what you get
to do. I have to get paid to do a lot
of boring things. That's why my job pays more, I
think. I think also because that makes
it less implied to take a bribe. That was the theory.
Turns out that didn't work for Charles Mcgonigal.
It turns out it doesn't actually work for a number of people.
Because it is only a problem if you got it.
Facts. As as noted earlier this week,
here's Chris Wray using the same tactic on Eli Crane, talking
about recruiting. When in doubt, go to the
recruiting. Well, about how well we're
doing. Here it is.
I'm just going to, I'm setting up something here.
Can you guys feel it? This is actually really
important, Sir. Do you find it interesting how
many whistleblowers there are right now from your organization
coming forward and testifying to Congress about the conduct of
the FBI and how they can no longer, they no longer even want
to work for the FBI? They're willing to risk
everything, including their livelihood, to come and talk to
Congress about what they perceive to be a change in the
culture at the FBI. Certainly I respect the role of
whistleblowers in our system. It's an important part of the
way our system of government works.
When it comes to the culture of the FBI, I'm very proud of our
38,000 people. I think you will be relieved to
know that the number of people applying to be special agents
from the state of Arizona has gone up over 135% over the last
five years and. Steve, I'd like to talk to you
about whistleblowers. Does that bother you at all?
Can you tell me about your recruiting numbers instead?
I mean, that's a perfect, perfect, just deflection that
he's using there because he always used that.
I'm curious, was that before or after they asked Christopher
Wray if he could absorb more than two years of not getting
paid a salary like Garrett O Boyle?
And then he actually laughed. At that, he did actually
laughed. I'm only bringing this up
because yesterday at 3:11 PM my time on May 1st, FBI Director
Cash Patel said the FBI is recruiting news.
I'm thrilled to report the FBI has recently hit our goal of
2500 new FBI agents. That's not what it says.
Intelligence analyst applications in a single week,
half of the time that it expected.
Apparently they are looking to restaff the Intel cadre, which
absolutely blows my mind. This administration confronts
new threats and numbers like this are exactly why we need to
meet the moment Steve friend. They are the great men and women
all over the country who want to be part of what we're building
at the FBI to protect and serve the American people.
We're just getting started. Thank you to our teams working
hard to support the mission. Those HR deep state a holes that
got rid of Steve Friend Garrett Boyle that haven't brought him
back and are in fact recruiting more of themselves.
Are we winning or what, buddy? We're still, we're remaining the
intelligence agency with a gun, which I thought was like the
reason that we needed to take out the Hoover Building and make
it a museum to the Deep State. I thought so, too.
Anyway, here's Chris Wray also touting record record
recruiting. It's nonstop.
It turns out if you can't do anything, you might as well talk
about who wants to come work for you.
You know that since October, our special agent recruiting, we
have more special agent applicants since October than we
had all of the prior year, which has a significant uptick in the
enthusiasm the people have about wanting to dedicate their
careers and put their lives on the line working for the FBI.
But it's not just agents. You know, we're recruiting
computer scientists, data analysts, engineers, the youth
of America. We got a thriving economy out
there, and we have the highest number of intern applicants, you
know, out of college that we've ever had.
And our selection rate both for special agents and for interns
is between 5 and 6%, which for those keeping score is more
selective than most Ivy League schools.
Holy moly, it's more selective than the Ivy Leagues.
You know where he went to school?
He went to Yale. Just he went to Yale.
Yeah. And it's reminiscent of what we
were told. I'm sure you had a similar
experience at Quantico. You were based, there were.
There were 100,000 people that wanted to sit in your.
Chair 98 billion people who applied for your exact position.
All of the people in the history should feel really lucky and do
whatever we tell you to do. And two, you're just so darn
elite. Let's pump you up with hubris.
We are the pristine premier. Most important, law enforcement
not doing very many arrests a year on average one to How many
average arrests does an FBI agent do per year based on is it
2? Oh, yeah, I mean, and they're,
they're relying heavily, I mean, like, I rely on you for children
to uptick my average. They rely heavily on the Indian
Country guys. Me and one other agent in the
Omaha field office accounted for 25 to 30% of the entire
division's arrests for a calendar year for a fiscal year.
Out of 100, agents say. Yes.
OK, when I was sitting in the counterintelligence division, I
started the story earlier. I forgot to finish it.
You have to have I think 2 arrests in order to check off
the logbook to become a fully fledged like vested.
Agent A lift for a counterintelligence agent.
It is So what they did is they let some people go and sit at a
police station where someone self surrendered and watch on
the security Cam footage when a local TFO hooked up a bad guy
who turned himself in. And by watching the CCTV camera
of someone else putting cuffs on someone they were able to count
as being part of the arrest team.
I shit you not, that is a real thing.
They opened up a 343 agency assist case in order to do it.
They duped the stats and they claimed an arrest.
Claimed an arrest. That's an FBI arrest.
Claimed in the probationary thing.
I do like hearing Chris Ray compare the FBI to an elite Ivy
League school. Donald Trump does the opposite
of it. I feel like people realize that
that's what America wants is less of this like elitism.
Here's a great little piece from a speech he did kind of a
reminder of who was elected and maybe hopefully a reminder to
the people that are running our our institutions that we're not
looking for elite. We're looking for get it done.
Here he is talking at I think this is at Alabama.
Now, exactly 250 years after the first Patriots stood in Fort at
Lexington and Concord, we're in the midst of another kind of
revolution. A revolution of winning and a
revolution of common sense. Common sense.
Everywhere you look, broken systems, corrupt institutions,
and tired dogmas are being swept away by the tide of history.
Ancient wisdom is being rediscovered, and the best and
strongest traits of America are coming back for all to see.
Bigger, better and greater than ever coming back.
And they're coming back fast. The spirit of our age is 1 of
boldness, vigor, ambition and adventure.
And it's exciting to be you and young.
Oh, I'd pay you a lot of money to have your age.
You have a great future. The people have rejected the
voices of a failed establishment.
You saw that in the election. We've turned the page on endless
wars, crippling debt, open borders, ruinous inflation and
the lack of respect for our country and for its leaders.
But we're turning that all around, and we're turning it
around very fast. We will very quickly make
America great again. I don't have the piece of the
clip. I, I must have grabbed the wrong
1. He goes out there and he says
the future of America is not going to be written in the
Harvard Crimson. It's going to be written in the
the Crimson colors of Alabama Roll Tide.
The Crimson. Tide yeah.
So I, I think look, and I know people talked about how Tim
Walz, Tim Awalz was brought in to be like the code talker for
the Democrats with his jazz. Jazz hands.
I immediately thought of the wind talkers and it's like,
that's perfect. They view the like white man who
just like likes to go to work and take care of his family in a
case he's not catch a football game there.
That's a primitive species. We need to get somebody to speak
the Navajo language. Can you can you backwards
compatible the conversation for these like?
You know, people, that's the, that is exactly why Mike Rowe
continues to be one of my favorites.
The things he talks about trades.
I just saw a story, Catholic Vote has one in the loop that
people should go and read about an automated trucking company
that's going to put a lot of people out of work.
And it's a real serious problem. People have been talking about
it for a couple years. It's now here.
So what do you do anyway? Maybe you could go work for the
FBI. Doesn't this look cool?
This is what real recruiting looks like, Steve.
Maybe This is why the numbers are up?
Yeah, helicopters flair the Blackhawk landed on a roof or
you can fast rope. Nobody does that for any
operations. Wear camo vests and blow up
doors in training only. Not allowed in the real mission
we. Don't have dogs either.
They do. I mean, HRT does.
Can you apply? That's why we're getting it
done. Again, this makes me so grossed
out because this is the Chris Ray story.
We're recruiting 2500 new Intel analysts.
You know what the people are that are blowing up doors?
They're not Intel analysts. Those people.
They're writing Intel products on Catholics and going after
Face Act violators and they're going after people for praying
outside of an abortion clinic. So anyway, apparently that's
what we voted for. It's disappointing, man, that,
that, that that's, I mean, look, I, I think they're trying to go
in and do the Pete Hegseth. It just is not transferable
personality wise. And then also culture wise, the
FBI isn't law enforcement really.
It's not cops. It's definitely not military.
Even if they wear the $800 cry uniforms when they're on SWAT or
HRT hits and it's not led to any.
I mean, you might, you're attracting 2500 people to go
write Intel products. Like I acknowledge what you are
and then just own that and then reform that.
And there's certain sorts of policy changes that we can make
right away, and there's definitely some personnel
choices that we can make right away.
And if you have to err on the side of collateral damage and
fire the good people by accident or remove them, you could just
bring them back. It's not permanent, not set in
stone. No, but you're being
unrealistic. So I'm going to give you the new
Bongino rule and then I want to know a thumbs up, thumbs down
from Steve Friend, whether QT time continues.
I'm saying we're going to apply a new Bongino rule to this
because you're talking about turning probably the most
massive aircraft carrier in the world, you know, which takes a
long, long time. New Bongino rule is to wait 6 to
8 months before you see result. I'm thinking you're going to see
him sooner, but you have to give him time.
No, I don't. I'd like to see a debate between
Jim Verde, who's never worked for the FBI and maybe like one
of our wives who have also never worked for the FBI and see which
one has somebody that knows more about the FBI based on just
proximity to it. His buddy worked there for a
month and is not accomplishing anything.
Our wives have seen years and years of living in the
background. I just think it would be an
interesting debate. It'd just be fun to see people
who didn't work for the FBI talking about the FBI.
Probably should just sit it out and and find out what the real
answers are. Not by proxy or do social media
coverage, but that's what we're seeing right now. 6 to 8 months
cutesy. Time yes or no?
Hold on cutesy time. Well, six to eight months that
that probably means 628 months, which is.
So many months, 628 months, yeah, we're all going to be dead
by then. They will have taken over.
The government man speed of government.
Speed of government, yeah, I don't have a ton of faith so QC
time continues is that the. Fair.
It's 628 twice a day, so cutesy time twice a day.
Very good, Steve. Tell people what's coming up for
for your American radicals. I'll give you the screen and
then we'll do a palette cleanse as always.
