Prepare to hear the truth from a real whistleblower, an American
Patriot, here's civil liberties, enthusiasts, Second Amendment,
Defender and indefinitely suspended.
FBI agent. Kyle seraphin.
Hello my friends and welcome to the Kyle Serafin show for
Friday. The 31st of March, it is the end
of March, finally, and the seraphin family is on the road
and we've got the cows are up and show on the road with us.
So I sent the boys a picture of what this looks like.
I've got to spendable. Steve with me.
So he's going to be Weighing in, he brought us some brand news,
brand new news, new news that's being broken this morning.
It will be out on his Twitter feed and will be retweeting it
so you can go look for that. Well, you'll get out your fresh
taste of it and our reactions to it as well.
A lot of weird stuff going on this week.
Hopefully you got a chance to listen to our very long 3.
Plus our interview with Steve Baker, I only talk to people,
they have Steve these days. I guess.
I don't know why that is, but I got a lot of Steve's in my
Orbit. Steve, thanks for joining me.
Other Steve Many states were working the same microphone
today. Yeah man.
I kind of feel like my tech caught up, maybe it's
yesterday's technology today. That's very Bureau of you People
don't know that. That's the, that's the motto of
the FBI's. It Department, it's yesterday's
technology tomorrow. So you're doing it today.
I guess you're actually ahead of the FBI at that point.
Yeah, I'm high-speed low-drag. I've got contacts in places that
they didn't even know that's it. Well, let's do a quick little
uh, promotion for our sponsor and I hope you don't mind.
But we're going to talk about Patriot coolers and Patriot
coolers.com even on the road. I got to bring it up.
I've got my Patriot cooler with me right now, huh?
They're called tumblers. This is the 30-ounce, well ice
and water. Keep me hydrated.
I'm in the desert right now. Producer, Phil's got his with
his American flag on there. There's a lot of cool designs.
You guys can get into. They've got the spill resistant.
This is the still proof. I actually think it is spill
proof. Should we do?
Should we do a test? Pretty sure.
No spill, really, really good products.
Really fair price. They give their a little bit of
their proceeds to disabled vet so you can do it support that
cause you're supporting the Kyle serif and show and you can use
promo code Kyle. Okay.
Ellie again k, yl e for 10% off. If you do shipping over 50 bucks
is free, can't go wrong. They've got really good tumblers
to our actual cooler. Soft-sided hard-sided all those
things. I've got the, the backpack with
me on my road trip. I'm driving from Arizona to
Texas and I've got some snacks that I don't want to melt in
there. So check out patreon coolers,
Patriot coolers that cam will actually tagged them on this
one. They're on, they're on Twitter
and I think they're going to start on true.
And I told them time to get with it, folks time to get on all the
social media, we would thank them for their support so far.
And Steve, we're going to dig into a whole host of topics.
And what I want to entitle this episode, I think is something to
the effect of Miss Lippy strikes, again, that was my
initial idea Miss Lippy being the Billy Madison character who
was teaching kindergarten. But it's almost something dumber
than that. We're in the, we're in this sort
of preschool world where the Opposite is true.
It's like an opposites day when you were a little kid.
I'm going to run through a bunch of these things to talk about
it. Do you want to break your news
first? You want to hold that for the
end because you said you walk over I think we got some heavy
topics where you might need to cleanse your palate at the end.
So let's hold on. Yeah, bit the world is pretty
messed up in so many ways. So let's start with a couple
things. All right?
We're going to talk about a video, a little piece that
Tucker Carlson did and it's going to actually tie into a
broader theme of whatever. The left says, the opposite is
the case. If they act like trans, people
are the most important thing in the world.
What they are trying to do is negate Christianity.
That was Tucker's Point. There's a thing that Steven
Crowder did on Thursday and that was actually really Illuminating
to me, it was another opposite and that I listened to an Adam
Carolla podcast talking about self-esteem and that was the
opposite. So we have at least three
examples this week of like major influential figures on the right
that I've listened to that. It pointed out really
significant opposition. It's and I think you'll be able
to weigh in and know that those are the case.
Phil, do you have our tucker video?
I want to play it and then we're going to have a quick discussion
on that but I think that is the theme so far, is that whatever
they lay out, they being the left, the opposite is the case.
Yeah, let's play it. It was just last week that we
noticed that parts of the transgender movement seemed to
be getting militant and possibly dangerous.
We did a whole segment about it on Thursday night, that segment
was sparked by an NPR segment. We had heard and never Acted to
hear NPR is always as a matter of editorial policy.
Completely opposed the civilian ownership of firearms with the
possible exception of maybe IRS agents yet here suddenly was
that very same station, National Public Radio positively urging
trans people to buy guns as many guns as possible and if
necessary to use them, the world is dangerous.
Explain one trans gun owner. You have to be dangerous back.
And that seems strange to us, is the United States, really a
dangerous place for Trans people, will West Baltimore is
dangerous. You can easily get murdered
there. But if you're Trans in this
country, obviously there are many downsides but there do
appear to be some benefits. It's a lot easier to into
Harvard. For example, it's definitely
easier to get a job at Citibank or in the Biden White House.
If you're transgender can so much as fly, a kite, the
Pentagon will happily make you an F-35 pilot to so Hollywood
can make a movie about it. Identifying As trans whatever
again, its downsides does convey status in this country which is
why so many young people now do not a lot of 19 year.
Olds are pretending to be car mechanics or lineman for
regional Power Company in eastern Ohio.
But plenty of college freshmen, do pretend to be members of the
opposite sex and why wouldn't they the people in charge
despise working class whites? But they venerate the trans
Community people are just responding to incentives.
Its rationale in a way. But that does not explain the
anger that we heard in that n PR segment.
Why are some trans people so angry?
And why do they seem to be mad specifically at traditional
Christians? We can't think of any trans
person who's ever been murdered by a pastor as far as we know
that has never happened. So, it's not an actual threat of
violence from Christians. That's inspiring some trans
people to buy AR-15s, know it's, it's got to be more fundamental
than that. And it is the trans movement is
the mirror image. Of Christianity and therefore,
its natural enemy in Christianity.
The price of admission is admitting that you're not God
Christian's openly can see that, they have no real power over
anything, and for that matter, very little personal virtue.
They will tell you to your face, if they are sinful and helpless
and basically, absurd, they're not embarrassed about any of
this, they brag about it, that saved a Wretch.
Like Me Goes, the most famous Christian hymn ever written in
English. The trans movement takes the
opposite view trans Audiology claims dominion over nature
itself. We can change the identity.
We were born with they will tell you with wild-eyed certainty.
Christians can never agree with this statement because these are
powers. They believe God Alone
possesses. All right, I think that's
exactly what we want to talk about right there.
So the claim is the opposite and therefore, it's antithetical to
Christian views, which are is at least a vast majority of a of
what this country is made up of. What do you think about that
one? Steve.
I think it's kind of consistent with the accusation that anytime
the left throws out some sort of accusation against their
political enemies. It's always something that
they're doing, it's always the opposite.
So they're saying, you know, you you cheated in the election this
way, well, they were cheating that way or you want it's just
very consistent that they look Inward and then project.
Outward to what they want. And I think that the Tucker
makes a really good point there especially towards the end when
he, he talked about having dominion over reality, we always
hear this, my truth. Well, if you accept the premise,
that there is a, my truth, you can certainly shape the truth,
the way you want. There's, I think you and I can
agree. There's only the truth and you
really can't shape that. Anyway, it's just is what it is.
But certainly, when you hear the left, talk about their truth, my
truth, they have Control over that and they can change on the
Wind. They can feel like something one
day and something different the next day and immediately we're
all supposed to accept that new truth truth and reality is
they've they've concocted. Yeah, that's the sort of
postmodernist attitude about things, right?
Is that there's a subjective sense of reality and everybody's
version of it is equally a value, but then nobody's truth
can be a value because especially, when they come in
Conflict unless they go, This hierarchical order.
So his whole point that there is an opposite belief one being
that essentially that the human being is God and therefore, can
defined all reality as needed, but only certain people get to
do that, right? I mean that's that's really
what's going on. You mentioned, projection
projection is a legitimate psychological concept.
That's when you actually do see the things that are your own
flaws and you put them on somebody else and you make them
an external Tormentor, my wife has been a guilty He's been the
victim of a lot of that from friends of hers.
Who got mad leftist. It turns out when we got
married, it was one of the things that she looked out and,
and, and they were projecting all of their own iniquities on
her. And she's one of the nicest
people that there is she's nicer than I am by a lot.
Like, you know, probably probably as we all hope you want
to marry someone that's much better than you and you strive
to be a better person as a man at least.
And anyway, this is just interesting.
Lift is concept that they do that.
Yeah, I think even just we talk about family, A basic parental
Concepts. I was having to about if when
we're old and gray if one of her boys comes to the house with the
grandkids and he's 100 pounds overweight, would we be good?
Parents and loving parents to say, you look great, fantastic
to see you. I think the left would say,
yeah, you gotta affirm that that's body positivity, whereas
you and I would say no that's destructive to our child.
We should say you've never looked worse.
You need to get your butt in the gym and consider eating a
vegetable every now. And then, again, we're back to
the opposite. And I think that's sort of
Guided by our worldview versus theirs.
So that segues very nicely into something that I saw on.
Steven Crowder I don't watch Steven Crowder stuff all that
much. I like Steven Crowder.
I've always found him to be articulate and I think that he
hammers home some interesting points, but one of the
discussions that they had on his show on Thursday and I had to
share with my wife. Once I wiii see certain things
that go like, oh man, that's inherently true.
And he's a funny guy. No doubt, right?
So, he does this whole bit where they play this video.
He's Got The Hodgetwins on there, too, and I like them.
Leo. This is kinda weird and junkie,
um, not bad looking, but she's, you know, she's not a smoke show
that anybody is gonna, you know, drop everything and run after.
And I only say that because the first thing she says, as she
says in this really awful, like, you can just visit, you know,
you could hear if I had the sound mixer right now, I do the
AOC pitch shift, but she's going like, you know, I'm perfect the
way I am and I was built this way.
Any man, you know who would deserve me?
Would accept me because I'm Flawless as God Made Me.
And that is also the opposite of the way that we look at the
world because we're all flawed and sinful once again, this is
very antithetical to Christianity but it's also
really funny because it's the opposite of the way that men are
portrayed. Imagine if you went in to a
potential relationship saying, I'm Flawless and perfect the way
that I am and nobody can change me.
And anybody that deserves me would accept me as I am.
I mean, that's not marketable, he's a big man splitting.
First of all, I think, He'll only got two, you'd be all by
yourself because you can even if you're married, your wife does
not going to put up with that even if they vowed to be with
you until death. Do you part that might be one of
those things where she straightens you out pretty
clearly, right? I mean like that just doesn't
fly as a man. Yeah I think if you look to
somebody running for political office there's close as you get
to that because they're trying to make themselves be Flawless
they're perfect. I alone can be your Senator
because I have all these immutable characteristics and
and I'm separate that's why I think one of the most revelatory
things I heard listening to some of these people that are in
politics. They said you got to look to the
spouse because there are going to be able to hold that ego and
check if it's a strong spouse who's not maybe as equally
ambitious or has their eyes on something else.
But is just supporting their their better half that.
Maybe that Politician has a chance to not lose their soul.
Otherwise, you're just going down this dark path of.
I'm perfect. And I should Lord over all my
constituents. So when I saw this woman doing
this piece and they showed a couple of different women doing
it, you know, that was the bit that Crowder opened up a show
with it didn't make me think like oh what a terrible person,
this woman is right because that's that's not what's going
on here and I don't mean that to be the case.
What is interesting, is what a terrible ideology has been has
been allowing this woman to believe that, that is a way.
Oh, by the way, she had hype, man, which I don't know if he
was gay or her partner or what, but there was another dude that
it would like cut away too. On a couch and she would go, you
know, I'm perfect the way I am and he would go fact, you know.
And then she'd be like I'm you know just how God made me is
perfect and amazing or whatever he would go fact and it's like
no that's not in fact actually we're all made pretty
imperfectly. That's the nature of our life
and it's going to it's going to go next into the thing that I
heard from Google. Which I think we as well it is
kind of with are spent. Yeah, that is not our credible
position to hold. I'm perfect as I am I don't need
to make myself any better, like, self-improvement is the thing
that we spend most of our Lives doing whether it be education,
which is a leftist thing, right? Like the left loves education,
whether it be Fitness, like, nobody wants somebody that's
sloppy and out of shape. You want people that are
bettering themselves and bettering their intellect and
bettering all the different parts of their facets and
including their spirituality, their humility, which I think is
sorely lacking right now but all these things, make her a female
that nobody's going to want. And so she's over here
self-affirming, this thing that is obviously untrue.
Ooh, and then the sad thing is, is that she ends up lonely,
because of it and, and Men know instinctively, you can't get
away with that. That's what I meant more.
Moreover men can't get away with it because if you try to tell
that to a woman, they're going to walk on to the next guy who's
humble capable, you know, bring something to the table and also
is willing to improve when because I think Phil and you and
I would all agree. Like if I wife tells us to do
something, we don't necessarily want to do it.
We go. Like that's that's part of the
cost of doing business here even when she may not be 100% right,
she's not wrong. So what do I care?
Like that's that's pouring of yourself.
To become a better person, you're willing to accept this
sort of thing. And if you were to just go like,
no, I'm perfect. I'm not going to mow the lawn
the mod Lawns fine as it is like.
That's how God made it. Like, that's not gonna fly.
You're going to be a lonely. Dude, she's gonna pick up and
leave and find somebody who will mow the lawn and take care of
things. And I think it's just so
destructive to just your life force or whatever.
I remember, I, my grandfather was just a big voracious reader.
A week is trying to learn things and towards the end End of his
life. I remember, I read a book and I
brought to him, I said, hey Pop, I really think you'd like this
and he's was like, now, you know, I think I'm done reading
and that was just mind-blowing to me because I was like, okay,
he's now come to the conclusion that he's done growing as a
person and I don't think he's hanging on for very long after
that, and it was not very long before he passed.
I think his soon. As you give up the momentum,
they're just all Always driving forward and progressing in
yourself in intellectually and spiritually and physically
anything here. You just, you're in a waste
away. Yeah, that's an interesting
thought and I think it's I think it's true through like that.
That's what western Society is built on, right?
The, the march of progress forward.
It's interesting that the people on the left have refer to
themselves as progressives, when in a lot of ways.
The things they're doing are very regressive, they are not
building something that's better.
They're building something that's sadder and and it's, it's
obviously having bad consequences which is going to
lead to this. This other little dispersed
thought that I was I'm driving through the middle of the desert
in New Mexico. And I've got the radio, you
know, I run out of radio signal where I was.
So, I move to the podcast and I've got the dr.
Drew the Adam Carolla dr. Drew show, which is about half
an hour, and if you don't listen to that, it's definitely, it's
an uplifting moment to listen to two people that are very
intelligent. One of whom is very educated and
one of them is not but has a lot of Street smarts right.
Adam is he's got a lot of Street smarts and experience and he's
very successful when he does and he's also hilarious.
So we always comes in with his like anger, then Drew kind of
always I mean, I've been listening to love line when I
was a teenager. So, this goes back 25 years.
So it's kind of like, it's kind of like nostalgic for me, but I
hear Adam get into this thing about self-esteem and he said,
went in 2006, he walked into the studio and he was yelling that
dr. Drew and whoever he was with
about this thing that was called the something fuzzy wahby or
something. Like, I don't even know what the
name of the cartoon was, and it obviously was not my generation.
I was already out of college but then but he said this is going
to be a problem and the kids who were listening to it got this
song that was called you're the coolest and you're the coolest
is a horrible song so you guys could just go listen to Drew an
atom talking about and on his podcast from I think Wednesday
goes to that. If you want, if you want to hear
the song, but the reflection they had was about self-esteem
and the self-esteem movement, which I probably am guessing.
You heard about in maybe middle school or High School kind of
write. It was like, everybody was
trying to build the self-esteem. Yep, that was, that was the way
it was. I was the way we got rid of, I
remember when they got rid of doubt, That was a middle school
because that was a self esteem killer.
We did, we played dodgeball in high school and we try to hurt
each other. So, the, the inevitable lesson
that came out of the self-esteem movement, which was obviously,
a, left-leaning sort of sensibility was.
We need to take care of people with low self-esteem because
they're the ones doing the bad things.
They're the ones that are doing the robberies, the instead
murderers, they're the ones that are Flint certain thing.
They're not, you know, a living up to their potential and if it
was only, if they had a better self-esteem, they wouldn't do
these awful things to other people.
Is that a fair summation? Yeah, I think.
I mean, it will get into this sort of subject matter soon.
I mean, that was column by that was those kids were picked on
and brutalize and they had, they sought that the darkest option
for themselves, because their self-esteem had been so abused.
Exactly. Yes.
So we attributed, it was, it was society's fault for not helping
them build up their self-esteem. They didn't feel like they had
enough worth and that's why they did these horrible things, Adam
flipped it on its head. I've never heard anyone say it
this way, but it was, it was kind of a revolutionary thought
experiment, when I was gone, he goes death, row is full of
people that have the highest self esteem in the world,
because how high would your self-esteem have to be?
How much would you have to think of yourself, to be able to kill
somebody else and take their life people with low?
Team are busy trying to figure out how to make themselves be
better, which is essentially the opposite of the way.
It was always sold to me and I think that is true.
I think that you have to be a raging narcissist in some ways
to go and think I'm so important.
I need this so much more than the other person.
I'm going to put a gun in somebody's face at a store and
take what they have, take the the cash out of the register, I
would have to be, you know, someone who really loves myself
thinks, very highly of myself to go and take somebody else's life
and not Let them be able to progress further and so I never
heard it said that way before, but it lined up with all these
three things I was you know, three things in two days that
have all been the same and it's the opposite of what was sold.
Its exactly backwards and it leads us to a lot of the evil
that's going on in this country. And I think we can talk about a,
we can do a tactical sort of dismantlement or after action of
the shooting that happened in Tennessee this week.
But the way that you get there is the cell Steam movement is
the my truth is the truth. That's most important is the,
you know, trans people who can Define themselves as God and and
subjectively redistribute the, the reality that everyone else
has to deal with all those things.
Kind of they're all backwards and they lead people to do
things that are backwards, which is to say go and attack
children, who are the least likely to cause problems for
anybody. Like children.
I mean, except for their parents, maybe, but children are
The reason why we do almost anything in a society, that's
the thing that we protect and defend.
I think everybody sort of innate Lee knows that.
So that's that's backwards too. I think that the, the plum line
here that's missing in all those scenarios is humility.
So I think the difference between somebody who has very
high self-esteem and is out of control megalomaniac, and a
person who's confident, which is where you look to that, example
and say, well, that's what I want, my son to be, is that
confident? It's somebody who's been humbled
which I had a lot of respect for these guys who were in like the
Mixed Martial Arts. They're very confident.
They've they know that their abilities to actually do damage
on somebody and then they'll be safe if they are ever confronted
with violence, but that came from getting choked out a
million times in the gym, they've been humbled before, and
I don't think because we're so scared, about damaging people's
self-esteem. They've never been humbled and
they just steady go continues to grow and it's never been had a
chance to be deflated and brought back to a normal size.
Sighs. I sort of have been reflecting
that. It's a, it's an imbalance.
It's a, it's a, it's a mismatch between people's self estimation
of their worth and their actual words, so self esteem versus
what societies esteem of them is.
And when those things are in conflict with each other and you
mentioned somebody in mixed martial arts.
So let's let's evaluate that somebody who has a high degree
of skill to be able to defend themselves and they walk around
and they project that image and people.
Give them that same credibility when they see them because
they're built a certain way. They've you know they've handled
himself. They carry themselves in a way
like that and nobody really wants to mess with that guy.
You could see it like nobody's going to pick a fight with Joe
Rogan, a crazy person, right? But Joe Rogan has the highest
and the hardest leg kick recorded on that one of these
little Force, ometer things in Vegas, and unless you were a
complete fool, you can see that when you look at the man,
because the man carries himself in a certain way, and you can
tell people like Tim Kennedy, who does the Sheepdog response?
And teaches law enforcement, you know, classes about how to
handle things. He's, you know, Special Forces
former operator. You know, when you meet guys
like that, and I've met a bunch and I usually can pick up on it.
They carry themselves a certain way and then we believe that
they are the same thing. They don't have to tell us what
their worth is. We already know.
But when you are the opposite of that you see, like, you know,
the classic like 80's 90's. Slacker sort of the Gen-X
example of the dude who's you know, the what is it, the Jay
and Silent Bob types, right? Like they're, they're kind of
Scruffy. The kind of hunched over their
prop there, they're not carrying them self in a way, they're not
really humble either, they're kind of just jerks about
something, they're projecting, sort of like a weakness and but
they evaluate themselves really high because you know they're
fighting the man or whatever the heck it was that was that was
the way I was raised like the Slackers were always pushing
back against whatever the standard was.
Now, the Slackers are are angry. That anyone doesn't think
really, really highly of them on.
They haven't done nothing to deserve that thing that people
would think highly of Yeah, that's them.
And that's how you get this loud.
Very loud presence of hundreds and hundreds of people.
They're just going to storm the Tennessee Capital because their
voice needs to be prioritized in front of the will of the
electorate. I mean, look, I'm not opposed to
First Amendment you and I obviously both very supportive
of that if you want to protest. You could do it.
Definitely doesn't entitle you to storm through that building
much like we saw on. R6 there was supposed to be a
peaceful protest out front. Let your voice be heard.
The individuals that thought that dog.
They were special person and and went in.
You know, under those suspicious circumstances, where they're
just, you know, there's violence, that's somebody who
needed to have their ego. May be put in check a little
earlier on than that. I saw a picture of a what they
call the died in which is like my most, I despise that term and
that and that, whatever that technique being used by these
people to communicate something. So they all basically go in then
they just lay down on the floor. I cannot think of a, my
two-year-old does that, by the way, my two-year-old regularly
does it die in whenever I go? He says, you know, kind of ice
cream. He'll be like ice cream.
And I'll be like, there's no more ice cream and then he'll
just go. Oh, and I'll Just Fall to the
floor and just lay there like something.
Gonna happen. And I go get up, you turd, you
know, like a column, a turd he knows he's a turd and then he
gets up and then now he's better and he's too if these are ones
Step Above holding your breath, to get your way, it's the same
thing, it's literally the same thing.
You are laying on the floor and flopping like a like a child,
throwing a tantrum. So they came into the Texas
capital did this and imagine the humility that would have been
that would have been meted out on these people.
If strong Texas state troopers, you know, the DPS Trooper.
Rolled in there, wearing body armor with their their holstered
pistols, and there, you know, and and their uniforms on and
just grab the two of them by the ankles and just like pull them
into a pile, and just show them what a dye and looks like, make
a mass grave of these idiots that are flopping around on the
ground. How many, how far would they
have to pull them across the linoleum?
You know, about a dozen of them get stacked on top of each other
in a corner just throwing them into a room.
Just we're done with you. Get out of the way.
You know, you had your first amendment ability to do a die-in
but now we gotta walk across these floors and you don't get
to own the fort Floors. These are the people's floors
and just dragging him. You know, you'd see Hands just
making the squeaking noise across the the Polish tile.
That would that would have been the humility that should have
happened. And and honestly, they're
supposed to be consequences when you do things like Civil
Disobedience, right? People used to go to jail
because they would say I'm going to do a sit-in at a lunch
counter and they would take you out for trespassing and you
would go sit in jail for the night or two until somebody came
and bailed you out the consequences don't exist
anymore. So we're getting all of the the
drama and all of the ridiculous like Social media dopamine hit
and we're not getting any of the humility that supposed to come
with it as well. Because if you go out there and
do something like that, and I think you and I have talked
about this as well, when we, when we do a whistleblower
activity, we bring something to the Forefront and then if it's
not received or more worth it, like, when the, when the bureau
denies it after some period of time, you kind of go like, am I?
A psychopath? Did I miss the boat?
And you always have to have that moment of self-doubt if not You
are a psychopath like you've lost touch with what's going on
in reality and because we have that that check.
The only thing that happens is like the beard is another thing.
That's terrible. So then we're able to re expose
it and we're reaffirmed that we're doing the right thing.
These people are not getting any of the ego check where where
they have to at least question themselves?
Like am I am I the bad guy here? Am I the 50 people taking up
space in the Texas Capitol? Like just flopping around like
toddlers instead of being you know, rewarded with Social media
and and even the mainstream media, like praising them and
talking about how the real victim of a shooting where three
children and it was at Fort for adults or three and three, I
think three and three, you know, people were killed and they were
doing nothing. They were literally going to a
Christian School and some Maniac came event with and decided to
shoot them because because of her own issues, my understanding
is, is the biological female. And this is the other ridiculous
moment where we're bending history right now, but he
biological female who was taking mail, Hormones didn't know how
to deal with it and enrolled in and attacked like maybe her old
school. For some reason, the FBI has the
manifesto so that's even weirder and yeah it'll just be shoved
down. The memory hole, I would say the
the Vegas shooting memory hole but some some nonsense got
exposed with that recently. That makes me question.
What's going on with the FBI even more?
Yeah, so that came out yesterday and what we get.
Is a news drop from the AP. Stating some FBI documents and I
don't know how old these things are some FBI documents indicate
that the problem with this guy Steven haddock was that he he
lost a bunch of money and a bunch of money was like tens of
thousands of dollars for a dude who had a bankroll apparently
between two and three million dollars.
So maybe like one percent of his bankroll like that's not even
that's not even a major swing for people that are serious
gamblers. I don't know.
I don't know if you ever been in a casino before but being around
people that spend money on tables like Taking a swing of 20
or 30%, is that's what you do. If you're going to be putting
things on line, that's gambling. Is it would he was considered to
be this professional Gambler to according to the story, which
always lends itself to my mind. The theory was he was doing
something else illegal and laundering the money through the
casino. Certainly that was certainly
never investigated. So what we waited six years and
my question is what's he doing on the other hand it's always
about misdirection they're dropping that.
Why? What else are they trying to?
To distract our attention from with that news, drop.
Because that is a ill-conceived like like you compared to like
yeah, covid started from a bat in Wuhan like that.
That's the level of idiocy that you assume that we have to
accept that premise that's the mainstream media.
We're dealing with right now the the media narratives are we're
going to tell you what the truth is the sort of Mika Brzezinski
statements the you know, we tell people what to think.
Because we're the real thing and then we're all just supposed to
digest that happily and just choke down these lies.
There's no question that that's the ridiculous thing to have
waited six years to release if that was something they wanted
to release, they could have done that within a couple days and
then I've already gone like even that doesn't add up because a
man with no History of Violence and no particular obsession with
weapons. Suddenly decides to bring you
know a dozen of them up and and and significant like I don't
know if you've had to cart around ammunition and guns in a
big way. I'm sure when you were doing
Training, right? Like moving gear is a pain in
the butt and add in the older. You get I have to imagine it
gets more and more of a pain because at 40 right now it's not
my favorite thing to move all my guns.
I'm currently doing right now and all my ammo.
You know I woke up sore the next day and I was like, man.
Like that being said, I have literally, like, several
thousand rounds for every weapon I have.
And I've got That many weapons to you've got you've got up to
that. I've got dozens of weapons.
It's know. There was somebody who I think
my mother was asking me. She was like, how much, how much
ammo did you put in that truck? And I was like, I don't know, 20
or 30,000 rounds. And she was like, oh, that seems
like a lot knows, like, I feel like, I'm slacking.
I'm even what you're talking about.
Like, that's that's a couple of days in a bad Outpost, you know,
what's? Hopefully, I don't live in one
of those places where that's gonna be a problem, but this guy
supposedly, Those up in multiple trips and then shot at a
concert. Yeah, at a country music,
concert was amazing at a casino. I mean, it's absurd on its face.
Let's do a what we'll do. We'll save the debrief for the
end of it and then we'll roll into your the news you want to
share with us about just the house.
How silly the world is because it's kind of light-hearted in
the other news is we saw you know speaking of absurdities and
maybe things that they're trying to distract us from we saw that
President Trump was finally a pair We indicted by the grand
jury in Manhattan. So this is a local DEA even
though people in New York think that New York is the center of
the world. Nobody who doesn't live in New
York thinks that way the rest of us, don't really care.
What goes on in New York 0 times a day.
Do I think about what's happening in New York City even
though people in New York City, believe that.
That's all we think about out in the rest of the world.
So this da who's a local DEA Secured an indictment of some
kind and then leaked it. First of all, is that the seem
common to me, I don't remember that.
Being the case, you get a grand, jury indictment.
You don't let it out until you either serve the process and
either a summons or an arrest warrant.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think once you have
the indictment to seal gets lifted at that point to it, all
that information is supposed to be put out publicly.
So I don't know what the whole agenda was in leaking it now,
and let's say, they're predicting some sort of lag and
time for one reason or another. And, and obviously, he wants to
get his version of what's goes out.
You know, any sort of out of context things that he wants,
four things promoted by the media.
Because once that first initial surge of media happens,
everything else will that is a correction will be lost in the
shuffle. So you've got experience in
local law enforcement and federal, so I'm kind of curious
about how you're thinking about this.
But I listen to Alan dershowitz who, you know, he's on all the
programs at all the times and he has a very obviously strong
bases and discussing. See things from a constitutional
perspective. His belief is that it will be
immediately dismissed because the statute of limitations has
passed the argument for them going longer and trying to go
after it this way, was that they had to wait because Trump was
not in New York at the time, but Trump is not in New York now.
So that doesn't make any sense. They indicted him out of state.
And then the other piece is they have to basically claimed that
there was an underlying crime that his misdemeanor was
covering for And so that's going to be a difficult, you know,
path group. Obviously the indictment is much
easier to do than actually proving this case.
But if there's a statute of limitations issue and and
they're trying to indict him, they've you know, they've
invited him, but he's not in the state.
They're still going to have to get extradition or he's going to
have to hear those charges in Florida.
Is that correct? Like they would put in front of
a Magistrate Judge or? No.
I think he's gonna negotiate going on on his own to New York.
I think, as I understand it, he wants that Image, I think that's
good for him politically to just portray himself and get
donations rolling in and that sort of thing.
So I think they won't have the, you know this this unlawful
flight to avoid prosecution scenario where they're going to
get the feds involved. I think he'll actually just fly
in and get the, get the image of him, get his fingers printed and
if they're not even do that, but it's such a stretch of a charge
to begin with. I don't even know what the
protocols are for that. Even if Was there's no statute
of limitations on it. I hit, I don't understand how
they came to decision. That that was a wise thing that
they were going to charge other than they knew.
They wanted to charge something, you know.
Find the man, I'll find the crime and then there's I think
that they probably figure both sides will mutually benefit from
this. He's not going to do any time in
jail, he probably wants the photo op and this is going to
launch. Alvin Bragg's Ascension to
something else because certainly we being the da Manhattan is is
a stepping stone. I don't think that's going to be
the end game for him. He'll probably write a book and
then get Chuck Schumer senate seat or something like that.
Gross. One of the things and we're
discussing things that are the opposite of what they say.
The political left in the United States, loves the federal
government, right? They love the most powerful part
of the supremacy clause saying that we're going to come in and
do whatever. While we're going to force gay
marriage on every single state, the state's rights are lower
their subordinate. You this overarching federal
government. And now what they're trying to
claim is that they're going to take a former president who is a
federal protectee of the United States, Secret Service, right?
And they're going to bring him in and they're going to do this
process to do. Even if it's a photo op, I
cannot imagine the Secret Service being derelict in their
Duty. They're going to have to treat
the entire area, like any other former presidential visit,
they're going to have to clear it of threats, right?
So yeah, they're going to have to go send an advance team to
exactly go through the Manhattan DA office, to make sure there's
no threats, which there might be a lot of actually, if you
consider the political into that office, correct, and and and
then we're setting up a situation where they're going to
turn over because he's innocent till proven guilty.
He's going to have to be surrounded by Secret Service the
whole time. I mean they might as well just
do this thing over Zoom because it's not going to go any further
than that. There's there's there's just no
justification to make any of this thing.
Make any sense. Once again, everything is
backwards when you start going like well you know, in our case
we want that we want to Manhattan da to indict because
that's going to show that nobody is above the law.
Even though there's this basic movement that everybody that
they choose is above the law and that the federal government
should be able to do whatever it wants.
It's just all turned on its head in so many different ways that
it's difficult for me to even process.
What a secret service, protect D going into a, you know, a
Processing center is going to look like I can't even fathom it
at this point. Yeah.
And I mean, just in this, the idea of prosecutorial
discretion, like, if it was a legitimate that that crime, if
it was legitimate thing to charge, would even ever be
charged on anybody and let along, we're gonna send the
message, it's sort of like, the Martha Stewart, Insider
training, but at least with Insider training, that's a
felony. She actually did time for that,
I don't know what sort of jail sentence they would have, you
know, even if they maxed out Trump's sentence and he plead
guilty or you know, was convicted Or something like
that. I don't even know if he pays
time in jail, I'm not sure. I don't know that the New York
statute on it but you know, light of what we're seeing in
the DC District federally. I mean I think I commented this
week that I was actually surprised that the doj was
honoring. Miranda can saying that you can
have an attorney because obviously they thrown on Giglio
and jencks and Brady and attorney-client privilege.
So So, why even give them a attorney at this point?
Yeah, no, that's true. It's, it's just bizarre on every
level and then you also figure that You know, we're talking
about hush money payment for like an aging stripper, adult
film star who was paid paid off by one of his attorneys.
It wasn't made up by Trump. So, the stretch here, the whole
things to go after its such as and I think this, the juice of
that squeeze was in 2016 because they got to hang them all.
Oh, look, he had sex with a porn star and like that was.
The reason that that story came out it wasn't for anything
criminal, it was just, we're going to try to embarrass him
and make a little character issue.
Same as the Billy Bush Video Grabber by the hoo-ha.
I mean, that's what happens in these campaigns so now they
weren't all way back were like, wait, maybe there was a crime,
we could charge. I don't know who's calling shots
in these rooms and things like, oh, that's a good idea.
But I'm back to. I think they did it because
their side wants to be able to say, they got it, something
done, and then the other side wants to say, look what they did
to us, vote for us, and it's just so gross.
I hate everything about it. Yeah, I agree with that theory,
let's talk about something that was done really well this week.
And that was, you know, in the worst case scenario and I think
this is a parental Nightmare on anybody who sends their kids to
school, has to have this sort of thing that you have, you wake up
in the moment. I in a cold sweat, this is the
thing. It's some unhinged individual
coming into the school where your kids are at where you're
not there to physically be there to protect them.
Especially guys like you and me and and he starts.
Shooting. So we've got this transgender
female whatever the heck that means a woman.
This is another piece of it to somebody mentioned and I think
they're correct imagine and All the Rage of being a teenage boy
13 14 15 years old. But with all the like the buying
power and poured a physicality in the put on autonomy of being
an adult. And she was about 28 years old,
something like that, you know, one of the upsides of mail
Puberty if there is such a thing because I think male puberty is
pretty awful like going through it, like it's awkward and it's
uncomfortable and, you know, everybody's body changes all the
way. But moreover, like there's just
moments where you just furious about all these things, because
that's what testosterone can do. That's why you briefly guys who
have Roid Rage and fury, worked with dudes.
That's Antwoord, you know, juicing.
But they're, they're very uncomfortable people to be
around their volatile and ways that are not predictable in any
way, shape, or form. And then, you know, that's kind
of what we've done with females that are taking these It's like
they don't know how to deal with that.
The upside to being 14 or 15. Is there's like only so much you
can do with that. You know what I mean?
Like you could go put a hole in your door.
You can get hit by your dad or whatever.
Yeah, at least at least, dad can still handle you at that point
to, that's it. And we'll most in most houses
even that is that you just don't have that autonomy to go off and
do your own thing. You're not gonna go to a gun
store, you know, if your pit no and even if she was acting out
physically, she was still a she and I think that there would The
chances of a physical confrontation from somebody
being like, what did you just say to me is next to nil?
So there was never going to be any sort of negative
reinforcement on that whole process.
Okay, yeah. So so now we've got this, we've
got this 28 year old female on male hormones and then this like
horrific situation, all right? The the silver line Infinity
this is that basically the Nashville Police Department, put
on a clinic on, what should be taught for all First Responders.
Two active Shooters under the sort of the alert process.
Were you an alert instructor by chance, or did you just go
through the training with SWAT? And I went to the training on my
own and then had training on the SWAT.
And then, the bureau would send me to alert training because I
wasn't a tactically trained, right instructor, if you got, if
you folks, can imagine the FBI has a bunch of these different
stupid Hoops, you have to jump through and the Hoops are
exactly what you'd expect from the feds.
It doesn't matter if you're Confident, you have to go check
some stupid box and only the guys that are liked by certain
people that get to pay for that training but all that being
said, we you set an expectation of what it really should look
like. We're going to go see how it
actually got done, which is almost exactly by the book.
I think what is the what is the modus operandi of responding to
an active shooter? What are the challenges number
one? And then what is the goal?
Number two? Well, so it's a, It's Quickly, a
evolving situation. So so right away.
You don't know where you have to go into this structure to go
address. This threat that is its contrary
in the response to everything else that you do in law
enforcement where Personnel safety is Paramount.
You know, hey, look if it's not here we'll come back tomorrow.
We'll come back later here. The preservation of life is the
utmost Focus so you have to sacrifice your personal safety.
T, if the sacrifice ideal tactics choose in order to
achieve speed to move to contact because loss of time is loss of
life. Sorry, not sorry, you got
training, you got equipment, you got body armor.
You gotta go get in a gunfight right now.
So yeah. What is that?
What is that sacrifice when it comes to safety?
You said it, but what does that look like?
What are the sort of you may have to do that would?
Yeah, you do you wouldn't do any sort of threshold assessment,
where you would stand outside of a door and then pick the optimal
way. And Stage yourself in a way that
you could then take one room over and then.
All right, we own this room move to the next room.
You just have to immediately respond to whatever area you
think that they shooting is going on at.
So, in this case, they heard shooting is it?
And you can actually hear the officer say.
From upstairs. So they by that point or
bypassing all these doors where you would never know that would
be a major mistake on your part. If you're doing just typical
Close Quarter battle where you would just bypass doors and not
address them because they're you never know what's behind it.
They had to move immediately to the contact situation.
It's also heart-wrenching because you have to drive past
people who might be physically injured and in need of Medical
Aid. Because if you stop for that
Split, Second, that could mean somebody else is getting hurt.
So they will always prepared for and we'd have role players, that
would be there. Screaming, like help me help me,
help me and you just have to ignore it.
As cold as hard as it is because if the threat is still there,
once the threat is mitigated and you can, you know, go check back
and help those folks. But it's unlike anything else
and then I was actually also thinking about a snake as much
as best practices or always changing and law enforcement
especially with anything in the Tactical.
I mean it's just in the time that I was Why we went from like
speed 20 slow and methodical 20, we're going to be outside and
call them out or now we're going to roll lat, we're going to be
on drones and technology. And next we'll have attar's or
something, but since Columbine man, 25 years or I think about
25 years since Columbine that is been best practices, no change
to it. But and and actually, it's
probably a good thing because now it's universally around law,
enforcement agencies. And the case with Nashville,
those guys were Squared away. Yeah, so so alert is the
standard, it's a l r RT. I believe is what it's called.
I don't know what the abbreviation is, Phil may be
able to look it up for us. It comes out of San Marcos
Texas, which is Texas State University, and it's a codified
way of taking the lessons from Columbine, essentially and doing
what they call Direct a threat, right?
Like the goal is to quickly engage, can you tell people why
the goal is to engage as quickly as possible?
Like, what the most to most likely outcomes are When you
meet an active shooter with Force, the you're going to kill
them or they're going to kill themselves.
That's pretty much it. Right often times, we find that
like the minute they meet opposition.
And these people already have a plan to take themselves out of
the equation. And then, the alternative is
what happened? In this particular scenario in
Tennessee, where the good guy does the thing that needs to be
done? I don't want to give away too
much of it. If people haven't seen it, if
you haven't spent time, looking at it, but we'll look at it as
like law enforcement officers on their Phil.
Are you able to throw that thing up and kind of Play for both of
us here to take a look at it. Or is that something we can't
show? No, I can show it on the video
here and maybe I can narrate and give you guys kind of a
play-by-play. And then we can pause and stop
as your ideas come up. Because I think everyone's
probably seen the video who listens to this show, but they
would probably really appreciate your takes even like, you know
right down to the scope and different things like that.
So let her know before you even launched it.
There's one thing that because I know Kyle talked about this with
his first aid. I'd cast.
And if that was this fight or flight, but it's actually freeze
as part of that, and I kind of play off that with say, you're
never going to rise to the occasion, you're going to sink
to the level of your training. There could have been training,
but I also think that there needs to be an identity of that
you sink to the level of your planning.
So when you see the first initial thing with this guy
shows up, he has planned what he's going to do.
There's a reason that the rifle is staged and he immediately
giving directive. He planned it out in his head
for Or if and when it ever happens, this is what I'm going
to do. So our two officers that we see
the body cam footage from that have been kind of identified as
the two Shooters and heroes of the scenario.
One of his name is Rex. What's his last name?
Angle triangle Bert Engelbert. And then the other one is
Michael. I'll have to look it up.
Yeah, I know it's it's Italian and I'm embarrassed a little bit
just because my buddy makes it that he's a, he spent time with
him, I wrote this down the other day, it's like calibri but I
could be wrong and sorry about that.
So the thing that people who are serious, I think in law
enforcement that are serious and Military scenarios, do they look
in their downtime and they think what could go wrong here?
And what would my response fee? And you're constantly wargaming
out the scenario. As you mentioned, this is
Officer, Rex he comes out and the first thing he does is he
pulls the stage rifle quickly. He closes the vehicle and
secures it back up, so nobody gets access to his weapons,
right? These are these are thoughts,
you have to have beforehand. You don't necessarily Rise to
that occasion. You forget things if you don't
do it that way. But one of the things they
always train you even at like let's say somewhere as
non-tactical as Quantico is you take the keys for the vehicle
when you get out, right? Because the first thing that
happens is your subject gets away from you.
They're going to get in your vehicle and drive off.
Now they got your vehicle and that's double embarrassment and
so is the paperwork as they would say in the bureau.
But but moreover now this is somebody who's been now armed
with the vehicle that they didn't have before.
So you take things out of the fight by knowing what's in the
fight? Like knowing the entire
situation, awareness of it. So fight flight Freeze part of
it is is knowing what you're going to do next part of it is
planning. Part of it.
Is that tactic? So 100%.
The other thing is, is this is a guy who was a very serious tool
Phil mentioned it as well. One of the first things that I
saw is that this guy has his weapon set up the way that I
think law enforcement responses, should at least one person on
active shooter. Detail should have what they
call a low variable, power optic and LV p 0 and we mentioned that
will actually hear it in the video but the other officers are
aware of this tool. Not everybody needs to have
that. That most people need to be with
a handgun. They need to be with their
abilities, to use their hands. A handgun is easily stowed in a
holster and secured. A handgun is good because you
can open doors and you can move things.
Over rifles, slow you down in some ways.
Most people don't spend enough time with a rifle to be good at
it guys. And SWAT people that spend time
in tactical environments, spend extra time training, but, you
know, I don't know if you experienced General FBI agents
and even General beat cops, trying to employ a rifle, it's
not impressive. I would say it's just a gentle
way to said you have a different way.
No, I agree with you. I mean there's probably
occasions where I said there's no magazine and that rifle right
now, just so, you know, right? We've actually seen straight law
enforcement officers do responses like in the state of
New Mexico, you know, get involved in a shooting and then
check their rifle. And the thing they did was drop
the magazine out and rack an empty slide and then go into a
conflict with an empty gun. Yep.
I mean, there's videos of these things happening and the reason
why is because weapons manipulation is not the thing
that they Spent their time on, they fall to the level of their
preparedness, which was none, and they know that that's the
tool they're supposed to have. But they don't how to implement
the tool properly. They're better off using the
tool that they do know how to implement.
And so, in the case of this, what we see is really good
really good. The other challenge that that's
that alert helps deal with. And I think it's worth noting on
here is the idea of alert and active shooter response is that
you're going to get people from everywhere.
When the call goes out, that there is an active shooter in a
school, in a mall, in a church. Church, law enforcement entities
from all over, will respond to it and you'll get local
sheriff's department. You'll get federal agents that
are in the area. You'll get the local police
department, which is not the same as the sheriff.
They may have different radio frequencies.
A lot of times they'll have the mutual Aid channels but what
they will not have is always the same tactics.
And so what alert does is it fundamentally streamlines, the
process. Let's not get fancy, we're not
going to do run the rabbit, we're not going to do you know,
pieing the corners and all these kind of things are applying the
where they call the the sly senpai.
Plus 10, 10, plus 10. So they're not going to do
different clear tactics that are all everybody has their own like
best practices and they're always as you mentioned it used
to be slow and methodical than it was quick.
You know, speed is our friend. There's always this play back
and forth. Alert is the simplest formation.
The only thing that I saw that these guys did and and I will I
will give them the, you know, I'll buy everyone of them.
A beer for, not letting good, be the enemy of the perfect, be the
enemy of good. In this case, they didn't have a
great formation running down the hallways because Sometimes the
guys in the rear were actually covering the guys in the front
and at that point you have to go to the safety.
Rules will see some of the video, but some of the muscles
actually flag each other a little bit as you mentioned.
So what actually in this case, in edit mode makes a bad
decision than no decision and there is is on you were behaving
and there are ways that you can do those things.
If you are still a bang all the safety laws and you break one.
As long as you don't break all the safety laws, you're still
good. Your fingers off the trigger and
you flag your buddy. It's not good.
It's not ideal. But I'd rather you get forward
and stop someone killing kids. So, these guys did the thing
that needed to be done and sometimes they took a little bit
of leeway with it because they were moving quickly and they
weren't being perfect, but they were definitely good enough.
And so that is like, that's the message that should be taken
away from it. Go quickly go direct to threat
as they as they call it and go Stop The Killing immediately.
And if that means you put yourself In Harm's Way a little
bit, either from yourself, you know, from your own team or from
the shooter as you mentioned by passing.
Doors. And you know, you're assuming
that there's basically only threats in that one place where
you can hear them which it turns out to be generally speaking.
Statistically that's the case then and and they were going off
Intel to which the one person to know we have talked about is the
woman that standing out front that meets them, she stood there
with an active shooter and she had no cover and she came out
and said there's a shooter that you know, that we've locked
down. Gave them like the essential,
she didn't say there's multiple Shooters.
She said there's a shooter so she could have been mistaken but
obviously like, That's valuable intelligence.
And she was brave enough to stand out there unarmed and give
that to the guys that are coming in to save the day.
All right, let's roll some footage.
Yeah. So as Steve was just saying he
comes up on the woman. Also let's pause real quick.
He just I think people are going to be at.
Should you get you guys here? Take he here acts around,
doesn't he? So he's not he's not rolling
like that but basically what that's pretty standard.
Yeah, so most people don't run, this is pretty standard.
They call it what they call trunk ready or something to that
effect. Yeah.
Okay. Just you don't want to get sick
close because he hit a bump and it sends around through the to
the car, right? Blah.
At the same time he remembers In The Heat Of This Moment.
He's just spoken of the the woman he's racking around,
right? If he forgets to do that, what
happens about a minute or two later, right?
When he presses the trigger. Yeah, he's gonna drop, he's
gonna drop a an empty hammer on there.
So you know, good heads up. This is a thing that this guy is
prepared for. He's prepared to take his weapon
and put it into Action, if you're not doing that sort of
thing on a regular basis when you remove it here.
Here's the one of the rules that they always talk about know the
condition of your weapon, okay? The Israelis roll around in law,
enforcement and military operations with with no round
chambered in their handguns. So their first move is always to
rack the slide and direct around in American law enforcement
doesn't do that. Some have safeties.
Some know that this is your safety as they did in the Black
Hawk Down movie so family but it's true the way that our
modern Striker file pistols are generally concocted unless you
put Your finger on the trigger, the round will not go off.
These are not like revolvers where you could theoretically
slip the hammer and the hammer would hit it, just can't happen
it the way that they are built, there's actually a block inside
the machine inside the slide. I don't know how many people
understand how their their weapons work, but it's like a
nerd function of mine. There's a actual part called the
striker block and it only is released under spring pretension
when you pull the trigger back. So, multiple actions have to
happen. That's why they're called, you
know, that's why the original Glock design was so exciting for
people in law enforcement, because you could, Eva round
chambered, you could drop the damn thing down the stairwell.
And unless there was enough inertia, to actually trigger,
not just the, the trigger backwards to have it fall
backwards. It actually has to unlock the
trigger lock which is a little piece in the middle of it.
That will not allow you to pull the trigger.
Without, you know, if just the the momentum of the trigger was
going backwards, it will not allow the round of fire.
So there's a lot of these different safety mechanisms and
the AR-15 platform a little different.
A lot of departments choose to leave them empty, chamber,
loaded magazine, and that means you're starting with either. 28,
which a lot of people will load. What is your SWAT team, do 2828,
okay? Or 30.
Here's the thing, you know, what's really cheap Springs and
magazines? They cost, 10 bucks to replace
the faulty magazine, it cost, two bucks to replace a faulty
spring in your magazine. So anybody that's doing those
sort of things like I know there are arguments in front of it.
It's even funnier to me, that. You'd rather have two less
rounds and you save yourself to dollars in like eight years.
When the spring is finally worn out.
It's one of those fun governmental arguments where
it's just like seriously. Like I know the government
doesn't understand what's going on there.
Somebody made that policy, I always carry 30.
Just so, you know, I'd rather have two extra rounds because
that's why I'm carrying a rifle in the first place anyway.
So okay, so they're carrying a full magazine, he locks the
thing here acts around and then he's approaching the thing that
I love out here outside. He's yelling.
Let's go, let's go, let's go. He's putting people into that
mindset. You'll see this on social media,
all the time. Whenever something is happening
where you're moving, you're saying the thing that people
need to hear, people always like right out of that.
Let's go. You know, like, yeah, I see it
all the time. Let's Joe is our general, it's a
thing right now, for our generation.
Oh yep. Yep.
Between the age of 25 and 50, right now.
Let's go is like we're doing the thing.
Whatever the thing is, it's the same as the the 911 like let's
roll. It's it's the guys on the on a
flight 93 that said let's Roll. Yes.
Right. It is it is a means you just
have to start the momentum because that was the problem
with the ivaldi. Nobody started the momentum.
That's right, the whole situation could be different one
guy, let's go. This is the this whole video and
it kind of gives me some goose bumps on.
It is a man getting called up to the Super Bowl.
This is the Super Bowl of masculinity.
You are now about to put your From a line for kids, it really
is, it's the Super Bowl of masculinity and you didn't know
that. When you woke up this morning,
you didn't know it. When you stretched out and put
on your uniform, you didn't know it.
When you roll them all with your family and you were going to
freaking, you know, Banana Republic, even though you hate
it, because that's where your wife had to do a return because
somebody decided to buy you something on the registry, like
all of the things, right? You're there.
And you are now, you are called up instantaneously into the
Super Bowl. This guy, got the call active
shooter, it's Super Bowl time and they went out there and
played like Champions and that's the thing that is Why this
video? It gives me like a lot of Hope
even though it's the worst possible scenario.
It could have been so much so much worse because this person
went and did not care about human life and we got like a
bunch of men that basically said I'm ready to throw myself in the
Gap right now and you know, call it what it is.
But if men that went in that door doesn't mean it couldn't
have been women that just wasn't.
That's not what it was. We saw we saw dudes going in
there doing the thing that they signed up to two and they're
proving to you that what their oath was serious.
And that's the other piece as you know, are sort of suspended.
Oil group likes to say, if somebody is not willing to If
they're not willing to stand up and maybe lose their job over
something like what are the odds are willing to lose their life
over it? These guys are showing what it's
really about. So once again it's just it's
encouraging to me in a big way. All right, Phil you're going to
do some narration and kind of talk us through.
It will stop because I've seen this video enough times.
Yeah, you'll be able to recite it from memory.
So Rex is coming up to the door. He's already passed the woman
the cavalry's rolling in, and I think he finds out that the door
is locked. So, heads up move, he gets keys
from one of the two people standing outside the man outside
the super super heads-up move. This is one of those things like
it saves you from having to breach, a bunch of X, you know,
interior doors because people can fart.
Like what do we see that happen? That was one of the things that
happen in Uvalde, right? Okay.
Yeah, they way they have the keys.
So the same thing that's happening here is you know,
immediately as soon as they go in the fire alarm is going,
right? I actually like that a lot.
I mean, that's as real as it gets.
Moreover, if they weren't in the right mindset that before they
got in the door like what's what's that's telling you
everything about a fire alarm tells us.
There's an emergency, there's something wrong inside.
Noah one of the children who lost her life was trying to get
to the fire alarm, to pull it down when she got shot.
Yep. She even at that age, she was
trying to do something that's heart-wrenching.
Okay, so they've already searched the first door, they're
going down the hallway. Looking to the door on the
right. So, what we'll notice is they
open their doing, what, what I learned as is called Rolling
Thunder. Jibber-jabber call it that when
you were no. But it sounds sounds pretty
sick. So, in the, this is a military
tactic of moving quickly, down a hallway and rolling through.
As you're just, you're hitting a, you're rolling into the room,
you're doing the fastest clear possible, you're rolling back
out, you're not stacking up and going back into the hallway,
each time you're just going, is it?
Let's go Guy. The one officer with the shotgun
goes to stack, A cup and he pushed and he pushed them
through the door to direct say we're not doing that.
Yeah so officer Rex Engelbert is just literally like sending guys
and he's quarterbacking it right away.
I don't know if he's a assume, he's a tactical training guy
he's probably on their SWAT team but I haven't read anything
about it, but he has the mindset that knows what's going on.
He's looking at the entire thing and he's quarterbacking people,
which is so much more important than being.
The guy who gets to go in first who gets to breach any given
door. And you can speak this a little
bit to there's a rookie sort of mentality.
When you're like, I want to be the first guy through the door.
I want to be the guy that's the preacher I want to do the thing.
The really, really serious guy is the guy who's this, you know,
the assistant team leader of the team leader, who has the most
experience in pulling himself out of it.
He may not get the so-called action, which is kind of what
everybody that is the Super Bowl.
But what he does have is situational awareness of
everything and he's sending in guys, that makes him a force
multiplier to be able to manipulate He's got now seven
guns in the fight and he's just sending each gun in each.
One of these guys is just doing a very small piece of the pie
and he's got to see it all. Yeah.
I mean whatever we trained it. I mean yeah.
It was way easier to be first. Got through the door because you
just listen to what you're told. You're just automatic.
And whenever the rep came up to like, all right, you're going to
drive the train this time. I will be like, I knew these
guys are my friends and I was like, nervous.
Well I'm not, I don't know if I'm ready to do that.
It's way harder. And and you're the one who's
you're assuming responsibility, that's the burden of command.
I mean, it's just the nature. It doesn't matter whether you're
doing law enforcement or military clears.
You're the guy that's going to have to send people to do the
thing and they're going to do what you say.
You've got to be really good, you got to be on point and he's
just he's ice cold when he's running through the stuff.
It's so good to watch. Like I said, it's really
reassuring. All right.
Are you still rolling some video here?
Yeah. So, they've gone through most of
the first floor. It looks like, and now they're
hitting probably what looks like their first door that leads.
Leads upstairs. So during that time, they're
hearing a lot of the effects. They finally heard the gunshots
and what they did is they there's to instincts the guys
that are clearing rooms are looking to clear rooms because
once you get into the track of doing that, that's what they're
going to do. They want to just you know keep
doing that methodical thing because that's what feels good.
That's the repetition and and this officer Engelbert bike
breaks them out of that and he was like setting them up the
stairs. And so everybody starts like,
they're like, oh yeah. And he's literally, he's the guy
in the back, sending everybody forward.
Letting him know where they need to be, which is upstairs,
engaging the threat. And then what we'll see.
Are we still rolling through it? Can you just clarify something
because you both probably know something about this?
That most people don't what instigated the gunfire is that?
The first set of officers coming upon her, or would she this is
spectacular Library. I believe what she did is she
was shooting through the window to be able to Port the window
because she was setting up to Ambush.
Anybody coming over that she was setting up an OverWatch position
got it. Okay.
So when she God, that that window was open and she is
basically has gone and basically try to set up so that she can
hit responders which is a pretty heads-up move.
And really, really gross. Yeah.
Thank God, that guy's they were thrown around because I heard
one call out that he was reloading.
Interesting. Yeah, I heard reloading.
And at somebody asked me, like, do you think they were saying
she's reloading? So, we got to go now and I was
like, no, you call out reloading to give everybody awareness
that. You're, I need somebody on my
shoulder right now so I can get back up in the fight.
So they might have been gunfight Don't know.
That's, that's an interesting point.
And I don't think we've seen enough that they're they're
going to be exploiting the scene for a while we'll talk about why
the FBI took the manifesto. But, you know, the the stuff
that we can see on the body cam as it is, it looked like she had
poured the window that she had broken out.
I guess that could have been from from somebody shooting at
her and her not being hit yet possibility.
That being said, they get up the stairwell and what you'll see is
somebody makes a really heads up call because exchanging gunfire
with a handgun. Most guys are using iron Sites.
Their accuracy. Particularly in this scenario is
going to be low at 15 plus yards and that shot.
What do you think that was maybe 20.
Yep. Yeah problems we had is what
we're looking at body cams, we don't have really good
perspective but the depth of it you're looking at probably a 60
or 75 foot shot for most people with a handgun.
That is not a a fast, you know. Direct engagement distance where
they're going to be high confidence hits, doesn't mean
that it can't be done. I feel very comfortable shooting
at that distance, but I shoot a red dot and if you're not
shooting a red dot pistol, your point of aim, your point of
impact is going to be like your front sight is covering a big,
big distance. So only people that are Bullseye
shooters that are really good at shooting that distance and then
you got to add the fact that there might be around, is coming
back at you. Like it's not a handgun distance
for most people, especially not for most local like law
enforcement, the dudes, that train at the highest level,
maybe that are in the military. And are doing these kind of
things, and that's their engagement distance.
But for most people, once you get outside of that 15 yards,
that's a pretty comfortable rifle distance, going and most
law enforcement distances are, you know, 15 yards is rifle all
the way out to about a hundred and then they don't really get
much longer than that. For most law enforcement rifle
engagements in this country. I'm sure you guys trained the
same way when you're doing Squad.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's a bill with a
range of 50. That's the qual.
The koalas 50, you're not very often even going beyond that.
But yeah, you own Five yards, especially with an optic, and
this guy's optic. That's easy day.
Yeah. So so rectangle, bird.
In this case, he's running up with.
I don't I didn't see the make on the rifle, but he's carrying a
Vortex. Razor you could tell by the
color of it, he's got a throw lever which is smart, there's
different ones you can use. I use a breakaway version of
that but a similar I think I have the same exact thing on top
of my my Bureau rifle. So this is a really, really good
setup what it does. And if you don't know guns, the,
it's a 12-6. So that means 1 means no,
magnification is Just the same power that you normally see and
there's a Crosshair in there with a little dot that you could
turn on. I don't know if I saw him
activate it, it doesn't matter at all.
He didn't need it for that sort of environment.
But then you have the ability to flip it up to 6 and that gives
you 6 x magnification for what you're looking at.
So you're 25-yard shot looks like it's six times closer which
makes things pretty easy to deal with and I've had you know sub 2
inch groups one and a half inch groups at 200 yards.
Five round groups with that exact same setup that he's
Running with that optic on top of it, you know, benched
obviously like throwing it down on the ground and putting a
backpack or something. But you can get very, very
precise from a long way out with a decent rifle and I'm sure it
was a decent rifle. So he goes into that
20-something yard encounter and he's able to do a very, very
Precision shot as opposed to like a red dot.
Like a, like a name Point like most people do to em away.
Means it's covering. What is it covering?
Like maybe a 6 inch is that right?
No, no. It's the opposite of that two
inches at 100. It will cover one inch at 50.
So probably like a half inch. So even that the to MOA dot is
covering a very small area on that, but he's got the ability
of being able to look very, very closely at what he's getting
into and taking that shot. Which is why somebody else.
I think we developed we debated, that's pretty sure the backwards
hat guy says lvp push LV push which is that means that guy you
know that guy's a tackleberry to Because I'm pretty sure he had a
red dot. He in the fog of War went to,
like I'm a gun nut and recognize that another guy had the tool
that they needed to optimize the situation and said it again and
back to, we're gonna quarterback the situation.
I don't need to be throwing this round when this guy has the way
to end, this fight right away and looked him up and he did.
And so you see, you see, Rex basically run through the hall.
Bypass a half dozen guys, Get himself into a, you know, a
angle, where he's going to come around the corner, addresses,
the threat right away, and sends rounds that way with the, with
this optic on the rifle. Even if you did, I don't even
know if he had boosted 26, I run Hmong.
So the way I run mine and this is, I think the most optimal
scenario. I've tried it.
I've tried all the scenarios and all the different object
combinations, but I run a LV p 0 on the top.
And on top of that, I have an arm are Which is a little red
dot and so I can do anything inside a 50 or anything.
That's really quick and close. I've got a, you know, about a
two-inch mechanical offset. So I'm two inches high.
The dot is going to be, you know, if I may be the dot is
here, I'm going to hit here kind of thing, you know, just a
little bit. I'm going to my dad's going to
be high of my shot indoors, but when it comes to a longer shot,
you know, and 20 is not long, but it might be the right move.
When you're running up there, you can literally just jump down
and you've got 6 x magnification.
You've got a very precise shot. Great for, you know, hostage
scenarios, I've seen a law enforcement officer, I think it
was in Phoenix who addressed a subject that was holding a gun
to a baby like a one-year-old and it was his own baby.
That was the other wild thing but this happened maybe two
months back. I'm sorry, two years back and
the officer has the same exact setup.
He braces it on the edge of the car, he literally gets out.
Racks. The round jumps up, sees the
threat, is that there is a gun to the baby's head and he drops
the guy with head shots because he has that confidence at 75
yards, even though he's pulled back far in the fight.
That's an easy shot from that distance.
It's just it's a really powerful tool and like I said, it shows
that he thought about this scenario.
Well, before it ever came up, he knew that he was going to have
the right tool, I'd be really curious to know if he spent his
own money on it or for Department gave it to him.
Either way, it's a heads-up move to be able to put that thing
into the fight. Phil, what do we what we looking
at the end of this thing coming up?
Yeah, we are, so he's obviously behind the other officers is
probably about a half dozen officers who beat him to the
second floor. But as Steve alluded to and I
don't know if it's now earlier folks and re-watch the video,
somebody's Callin for the Be right.
So he's gonna seize. The officers is coming around
the corner. He's walking down the hall.
They hear the gunshots. He's heading into what looks
like like the library area. He's slicing the pie and now
he's the target. Bang bang.
Bang instantaneously. As soon as he lined to sightsee
took the shot. Well, how many shots did he
take? Like, three, two or three of
them? Something that affect the other
thing that's really heads. Up is then, he goes down off gun
and the two officers that are with.
These are like your hands guys, you're responding officers are
running up and they were covering down, you know, they
Threat balls. So this is this and they don't
know who this woman is in or anything about her what she's
got going on, but then you see the two officers basically come
in and approach, really, really quick gun on, you know, start
giving commands and things like that.
And they ended up shooting again because it looks like sounds
like she had her hand either on the weapon or wasn't releasing
the weapon. And they got to do what they got
to do up that that close. But just just textbook for an
awful situation. Because aggression wins the day
in that scenario, I think every single time, that's, it's
pushing it to do. Ooh, something I used to
actually encourage that during emergency medicine, it's like,
what is your job? Your job is to do something and
doing. Doing some action is better than
freezing and trying to figure out what the right action is
like good enough, in this case and they just stablish momentum.
I mean, because even if you make the wrong call, you have enough
momentum that you can overcome that, it's that instinct to just
freeze. And then you have paralysis by
analysis and that's how you wind up with Uvalde.
Were you have these dozens of guys in the hallway?
There? Sitting there.
What are we doing? What are we doing?
Yeah, people always forget what the word inertia is about,
right? But it's bodies at rest tends to
stay at rest and Bodies in Motion.
Tend to stay in motion and these guys create that first motion
starting from yelling. Let's go and starting from
getting the keys. I mean, everything about this is
heads up getting the keys pushing through sending guys,
through the door. It's like he's setting the
first, even the first door, he's setting the precedent that we're
not stacking up like and they don't have to know the same
tactics, it's like It in there and the guys I've got it and
then everybody starts flowing and you see him flown into rooms
and flowing out. And then moving and the guy
who's seeing it all is in the back, as it should be.
He's the last guy to get to the fight but he also has the tool
that's going to end it right then.
So he and he doesn't hesitate the minute.
He's called up boom. Somebody else has the
wherewithal to do it. I mean, everything about this is
just like It's the opposite of Uvalde.
And, every single time I saw one of those silly memes, it's like
the big muscle guy that's like talking to the, like, the
blonde, girl, that's like in the corner of the of a party or
something and it's like, you know, it's Nashville PD and he's
the big muscular guy, he's like, yelling whatever he's saying at
the party and then there's like you've all these like and you
hate to put that on them because I know they were probably trying
to do the best that they could do right there.
But they just you know, what do they always say that?
You know, you expose your ass when you do stuff.
Like just so badly, everyone knows and it's become a punch
line and It's these will be shown side by side for a long,
long time. I think in both academies, and
in tactical schools, and an alert trainings for law
enforcement officers, all over the country.
This is how you don't do it. You don't freeze up and you
don't wait, you get in there and you stopped it because you can
stop it right away. You don't let it happen any
further. And these guys did it, they did
the work. Yep.
He did. And their Heroes, all of them.
So we had said, I have Mike's portion to I think it's worth
going through that real quick because, yeah, sure, describe
it. Yeah.
Average person might have some questions about, you know, why
he did what he did. So let's take a look.
All right, so and all right, you hear what Mike did?
But we're going to see it from his body camera face is blurred
out here. They're chatting commands.
They don't necessarily know what her condition is.
Rex, is kind of like third person walking up there, pushing
weapons away and then it goes to Black.
So now we're on Michael Clauses, body cam footage, He goes right
up the stairs right away. I'm not sure what part of the
building he's in but it's pretty clear.
It's clear right away. He's going to the second floor,
that makes sense. So here's the thing they're
addressing on multiple floors. Like if you're on a different
floor. Okay.
That whatever is look he had for, he's like one of four
officers. The door was locked.
They're going back downstairs. Got it interesting.
They find it open door on the first floor.
Now, this probably the six officers at this point.
Flute. Looks like there may be a new
gymnasium. That's right.
Yeah, now the whole Cavalry here.
There's like almost a dozen guys.
Okay, now they're they've caught up with Rex's team in that kind
of central location of looks like, you know, check in with a
secretary. Lots of lock doors, check with
checking bathrooms. Same first floor.
Fire alarm, still going off the pausing for a moment here but I
think it's pretty clear. They're about to go upstairs.
Yep. So up the stairwell.
Mike's got 23, got officers in front of him, he's pushing
through. Okay, now they're saying shots
fired. So, this will be the point where
they're kind of pinned out waiting for Rex to show up.
So, they're kind of walking through that door.
That's everybody's seen. I said library before.
I'm not sure what it is, but it's kind of like an upstairs
rotunda and here's wrecks. On the Left Bank, Michael's got
a handgun. He kind of walks up.
S at he shoots four times, he shout, yeah, he's moving.
Stop moving. He's coming in from.
There's another officer that came in from the left and the
two of them. Basically, moved kind of pinched
in, which put the rifle out of play because they were down
range data point. Yep.
And you can see the broken glass Ass.
He's saying suspect down suspect down.
So I think from, you know, the general population standpoint
like their question would be hey Rex is already shot this person?
Why did Mike have to shoot him? Well you don't you don't know.
I mean it's so they you can tell from the officer who has the
shotgun who again good on him and got everybody else.
He's the only one giving his giving verbal commands for The
Temptations. Going to be for like half a
dozen dudes, to be screaming different things at the same
time and that point you have to assume the threat is going to be
alive and responsive. But there's a so he was staying
get your hand away from the weapon and at that point you
have to you have to take that shot because it's still threats
until you Confirm that, that's no longer a threat.
I think that's absolutely. So there's there's two ways to
look at this thing. Unlike what, Joe Biden has said
about the way that the 556 of the two to three round hits the
body, it doesn't immediately enter and blow up into a
demolition derby. It doesn't take long out of the
body. When you hit somebody with a
9-millimeter, this is not the way Firearms work.
It's a kinetic, you know action. It is a projectile that enters
the body, it creates a permanent and then also a temporary wound
cavity. The permanent cavity is usually
the size of the round and whatever the whatever it opens
up to the The the temporary cavity is where like when things
hit they actually cause an expansion.
This can cause you know, blood vessels to burst and things like
that. But but absent, what we would
call wounds incompatible with life.
That means like an open head. That means you know, chest
cavity, that's completely exposed.
And like there's, you know, the hearts ripped out there are
things that you can see. And and sometimes do happen in
big shootings, where you will know that the wound is now
incompatible with life. There's ways that Medics and
I've done this as a paramedic to so I can speak this.
There are, there are Categories of wounds that you can walk up
and if there is like brain material on the ground, you can
usually diagnose that as being dead as deceased, that is not
the case. Every state has its own rules on
it and Texas. I actually had to take people
unless I saw that, you know, decapitation at an angular an
accident scene, you could go, okay, I can declare this person
dead, otherwise you gotta wait for the corner show up.
You got to wait for a medical examiner or you've got to wait
for a physician in an ER, to declare them dead.
So the officers are approaching somebody 556 Grounds make very,
very small holes. Have you ever had to treat a 556
wound by the way? See, no, no.
I have a very, very small can disappear in the body.
Literally, you can go looking for them, and there's not always
an exit wound. So you can literally see, like,
it's like a pinhole. It's a 22 caliber hole that will
enter the scale. Say it looks like a 22, right?
Okay. Well, that's how it enters, it,
it looks like nothing. I've had to, like, pull them
apart to find them. If people have like, fat on
their skin, or they have like body hair, it easily can
disappear, and it doesn't always bleed.
So you can have 22 wound that like, you know, five or six of
them and in like, they won't appear unless they actually blow
something out. So, unless there's a significant
exit wound in blood in the back end.
So people were speculating, oh, this is a fake video.
This is a training scenario that it is.
Nope, blood will have no blood everywhere.
You watch too much Hollywood movies, that's not the way
people shot. People can be, you know, can be
fatally wounded at a guy that was law.
Enforcement confrontation shot right in the chest and fatally
wounded one shot. Couldn't even find The Bullet
Hole. It was very very difficult to
find. It was hidden underneath the
left nipple and he had his heart completely destroyed with the
shots. It was a One-Shot kill.
We couldn't tell, we worked him. Like he was alive for 35 minutes
and when we got there they actually opened up his chest and
found that he had bled out into his own chest cavity, no exit
wound so no blood spilled at all.
But the guy probably lost a liter and a half of blood inside
of his lungs and, and, you know, displaced as long as it with a,
you know, with that bleeding. So these things can happen in
ways that you wouldn't see. So the officer has to approach
And assume that this person without wounding compatible with
life is still alive. And a lot of times, people still
move. Like, it's not the movies, where
somebody's pulling a ripcord behind you, and you fly
backwards like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie like, The
Last Action Hero. Realistically speaking, the
problem that most special operations troops had with the
556 round, which is why things like 300 Blackout and why 762 by
39 and you know 762 by 51 which is the 7/16 Nato round why those
things were being used in. Foundation, as well as people
would get hit with these rousing.
You get back up all the time especially if they were hopped
up on any kind of drugs. So officers know, they've been
trained. They've been told the threat.
It's not to shoot to kill. It's to shoot to stop the
threat, and that means they have to be stopped moving.
They don't have a hand on a weapon either obeying commands
at this point and being a docile or they are not obeying
commands, you have to treat them as though they're still hostile
until they prove otherwise. So I think these guys did a
great job on every single part of it and the guys having the
wherewithal to to push forward which It's needed to happen.
There's a you know, they kept that momentum going, which
started early and it never stopped, until they basically
had this person incapacitated and in custody and or deceased
it's just, I mean, it's textbook stuff.
Every, every level of it is the way you do a, an active shooter,
you just push, they have to. And these guys did a great job.
Yeah, any other concerns about what we saw there?
Phil. No, I was playing Devil's
Advocate just in case we get any hate mail, but I think it my my
devil's advocate, you know argument, they're really
elicited what we needed to hear. So thanks for filling that in
no, great job by all. So we're kind of were winging it
in some ways as you probably can tell from the technology because
we're not sitting in our normal space, I'm sitting in a hotel
room and I'm on the road, which is I'm very grateful for Steve
joining me. I'm gonna this is the reason why
I actually had Steve join me. Here's something to kind of
leave on a light note, for the weekend.
The FBI is now doing finger painting, right?
And we have Miss Lippy, I've always said that the, the
assistant was her name. She's the executive assistant
director of Human Resources branch, which is Jennifer Moore.
This is the that suspended you and I is a lot like Miss Lippy
from Billy Madison, who is famously, the kindergarten
teacher in the Adam Sandler movie.
That is teaching kindergarten when he has to go back as a
grown-up and he steps into the, you know, he steps into the
preschool or the kindergarten class rather.
All the kids are at recess because he was want to play with
them and she's like putting glue on her face.
She's putting and she's eating, it may be and she's got a
macaroni necklace and she's dancing and doing this like
Reiki thing and she's a weirdo. But she's, you know, kind of
what I remember kindergarten teachers being kind of silly.
She actually is, you know, mildly pretty and she's sweet
and she has kind of a sick sweet way of talking about things and
she talks about puppies and she does kindergarten stuff.
My kindergarten teachers name was mrs.
Brazil and she actually looked like Miss Lippy, she wasn't
crazy. She was just a really, really
nice lady. So unlike the, the really really
nice lady. This is the kooky Dukes version
of the nice lady and that's who's running the FBI security
Division and the human resource department.
Aunt, and the Training Division, who recently canceled a town
hall meeting, right? That was scheduled for all
employees to be able to see what's going on a human
resources. And instead had this thing sent
out that you're going to read to us that I haven't read yet.
You said you wanted the cold response to it.
I'm ready for it whenever you're ready.
All right, so just so sexy. My favorite peeps over there.
Who investigated my security clearance and your security
clearance to see if we were worthy of having it.
So I have a I have a mole there and I was I received this.
So I'll read it to you to promote Health and Wellness in
the workplace the security division employee assistance
program, team invites all-sec, D Personnel at Patriots, Plaza to
to participate in the following events being hosted in the
months of April and May and then it lists seven events that are
going to be happening 12:30 to 1:00 p.m. on these states that
are in april-may the the four types of events are as follows.
One National walking day, meet at the entrance, the Patriots
plus a 2, for a short walk that will help you to get to know
your colleagues and return to your work with a renewed sense
of productivity. Number two office, yoga meet at
Patriots, Plaza, to room 405 A and B to be led in a series of
simple movements to strengthen, and stretch the whole body while
seated in a chair. No, prior yoga experience, or a
mat is required. So you don't even have to get
out of your chair, it's chair, yoga, share, yoga number three,
lunch and coloring meet at Patriots, Plaza, two rooms, four
or five. A and B for a fun series of
coloring sessions during lunch. I'll let you see your colleagues
artistic sides. All supplies will be provided.
Number four, National creativity, day, meet at
Patriots, Plaza, two rooms for a 5A for a painting class.
That will help you to get to know your colleagues and Unleash
Your creativity. All supplies will be provided
but space is limited. This is your thoughts on.
This is paid FBI employees on duty doing this correct.
Yes. 12:30 to 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, a Thursday Wednesday,
a Thursday Wednesday, Thursday Wednesday.
So you're all your FBI that we all pay for is going to do,
painting and chair, yoga and holding hands, walking.
And, what's the last one coloring books?
Coloring books. So I would say that.
This is a fake except one. I know the FBI.
So I know it's real but to fill shared something really awful
about it. The other day.
This is not the only time this has ever happened.
This isn't even a new idea in the bureau Phil when you were
working. What was the name of the
headquarters unit you work for? I wasn't surg and maybe I don't
want to get too specific, but circumstance for I'll get real
specific on. They it was it was a unit that
did surveillance training and added resources.
Versus so yeah, there was a unit Chief there who'd been the boss
for quite a while and she thought it was a great idea to
put coloring books out to color away the stress and the three
agents in the building. Got a great kick out of this,
but they were the only ones who found it.
Amusing, everyone else thought it was great and there was a box
of crayons like the Crayola 64 every color and there were, I
opened them to check. And there were actual people who
had colored in those things. Yeah, that was the next question
I had. So thanks, so you're FBI.
Employees are spending their time on duty to just relieve the
stress of being a highly paid. Under worked government employee
by coloring or finger painting. Is there going to be any glue
eating? Do you think like real Miss
Lippy style? Or is that going to be next year
after the weaponization committee starts pulling people
in for testimonies? Yeah, I think that the, the
questions that that should be raised at that town hall should
Should truncate any ever decide to follow through on it?
That think that, you know, that needs to be there?
What other activities can we have?
Can we can we have Jenga or maybe cornhole?
I mean I know you have to get out of your chair to do that but
one whole office corn hole in your chair Ask me these are not
serious people. They are charged with supposedly
monitoring whether or not folks like you and I are worthy of
having top security clearances to do the work of the American
people and apparently that's too stressful for them.
They need to veg out and see if that, you know, that color is
orange red or red orange. What would be the better shade?
Hey, Steve. You always have a very precise
way of making me discuss it with stuff.
Where can people find this this letter?
Which I assume you're going to make public.
And where can they follow you? You can find both on Twitter at
real Steve friend. I will post on troops as well,
and real underscore Steve front. Making it complicated our human
Rob, are you still Shadow band? It says no.
But you know I had a good day. I pick up one or two followers
so I don't know if that the my resources is accurate.
What are you search band? I don't think so.
I mean I always go to the same resource that it says I'm not
but the same time like I look at the analytics and I'm pretty
sure that the only time I get into four digits of a views is
when you share my stuff, I'll keep doing it.
That's what we're gonna do. I never see your stuff.
I'll cross my feet. So you got to keep telling me.
That's why you come on here. Thanks for doing what you're
doing. Thanks for thanks for sharing
this information. You can hack your book if you
want to, because I know that's And growing on the Amazon lists.
Yeah, hoping to do, we're going to start the pr campaign
true-blue, my journey from Beat cop to FBI.
Whistleblower, it is available at Amazon Barnes & Noble and
hopefully going to be doing the media circuit a little bit more
to advertise it. Alright, we will put the links
in the description, folks, you want to buy Steve's book.

social platforms at Kyle seraphin, you've been listening
to the Kyle Surf and show for this Friday the 31st of March As
I said, family in flux right now, we are moving.

state of Texas, which has been a place.
I have literally moved seven times I counted them last night.

Texas. So if you like what you heard,

two-part interview again with our friend, Kurt Sue's back,
he's an FBI whistleblower, he is a retired FBI supervisory,
special agent and he is an attorney that works in the Cyber
sphere and he wrote the FBI whistleblower handbook.
He gives me. First of all, he makes me laugh
