Actually, I really mean it that 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,680 way. My buddy Ryan Mata, who is on 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,280 the ones and twos back there spinning the musics and sending 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,880 the intros, bringing up all of our important topics is he's 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,040 ready for a weekend too.

Ryan has been on the road. 15 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,240 He's been running down around the Texas border. 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,680 He's been doing a bunch of independent reporting, making 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,800 connections happen. We've been trying to help out 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,400 our friend Carlos who was a whistle blower that way we had 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,720 on the podcast 2 weeks ago or so and you're still unmuted. 20 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,480 I just heard, I just heard that big sigh and it's been a long 21 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,480 week. He's exhausted. 22 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,480 I know I'm tired. We've been waiting here in the 23 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,480 Seraphin household on on kind of pins and needles hoping that it 24 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,880 is going to be baby time. No updates yet for you all. 25 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,200 And you will know that it is baby time because I will not 26 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,040 show up for a morning. I will show up and tell you that 27 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,800 I am not there, that it is a recorded show. 28 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,880 We have a couple of them in the bag that are ready for you. 29 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,800 In fact, a really, really good 1A discussion about fatherhood 30 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,520 and parenting and just the reflections on the state of this 31 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,920 country and the way that things have gone. 32 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,320 I think you'll really appreciate that with Mickey Willis, who did 33 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,000 the pandemic series. So when you see the Mickey 34 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Willis thing, I'm going to be putting out a couple more 35 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,240 pieces. I told you it's coming up. 36 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,400 When that comes out, it means it's baby time here in the 37 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,960 Seraphin household. That being said, I want to say 38 00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:45,600 thanks to our sponsors. Then I'm going to bring on our 39 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,960 guest D friend, because as you know, it's Friday and that's 40 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,400 friendly Friday.

There's the front page. 43 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,880 Look at that. There's a person doing a rosary. 44 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,760 Those are those those assault rosaries I think that you could 45 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,120 put on the back of your AR15 and it makes you even more dangerous 46 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,760 to to the federal law enforcement that is out there 47 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,919 trying to infringe on your First Amendment civil liberties. 48 00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:11,400 Just go ahead and put in your e-mail address, put in your zip 49 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,600 code, hit loop me in and you will get access to the loop, 50 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,680 which has a bunch of really good stuff. 51 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,600 We're actually going to talk about a couple of stories out of 52 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,520 the loop. I'm going to spring them on 53 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,960 Steve. This is my loop mug. 54 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,280 You see why I told him to give it to me in black because you 55 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,040 can't read this turquoise. It's it's cute, but it is not. 56 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,480 It is not virile, strong, or aggressive, which is what we 57 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,800 need on the Kyle Serafin show. I also want to say thanks to my 58 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,400 friends over at Patriot Coolers. I got to actually click through 59 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,720 this link, so stand by with me here. 60 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,960 There it is Patriot Coolers. This is a hard cooler and a 61 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,400 bottle of Rip Van Winkle. That's not so bad. 62 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,960 That could be a good start to your weekend. 63 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,240 If you don't have an outstanding piece of equipment that will 64 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,360 keep your gear cold, look into a Patriot cooler, a hard cooler. 65 00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,120 This is an investment you make for many seasons. 66 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,160 These things can be strapped down to your ATV. 67 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,640 They're a lot like what you'd see in a Yeti. 68 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,360 They're roto molded. They will keep ice for days. 69 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,880 They have those like really good straps. 70 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,880 And unlike some of the other companies, you can actually pop 71 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,920 those straps off. You can hose the thing down, you 72 00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:13,080 can put it through the cleaner. You can strap them back on. 73 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,400 They actually sell replacement straps. 74 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,920 You don't have to worry about, you know, re bolting something 75 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,560 on. It's a really good design and, 76 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,720 and it says Patriot right on the front there. 5% of their sales 77 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,040 go back and support our show and a percentage of their sales also 78 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,240 support American veterans who have mobility issues. 79 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,880 That is not nothing. So we do appreciate them. 80 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,600 Go ahead and look into their stuff there. 81 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,320 Use promo code Kyle, Kyle or you can click the link in the 82 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,560 description of the show, which is Patriot 83 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,720 coolers.com/discount/kyle.

We finally did it. 90 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,680 We've been working on the back end. 91 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,200 The DNS domain name issues. I don't know what that means, 92 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,480 but Garrett sent me some questions and we tried to 93 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,800 straight it out. Here it is, suspendables merch. 94 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,840 You've been waiting for it.

You guys always see me in a 102 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,200 black shirt, but I'm an OD green guy. 103 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,640 My girls always ask me what's your favorite color Dad and I 104 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,360 say it's green. And then they go like this and 105 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,120 they go, no, more like baby poop green. 106 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,600 I'm a I'm a military green kind of guy. 107 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,040 That's how I roll. All right, before we get any 108 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,480 further afield, let's bring a buddy Steve Friend on the 109 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,680 Friendly Friday segment. Here he is. 110 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,240 We're going to work on new cameras, but Steve is slowly 111 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,280 increasing his technology out on his side. 112 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,440 So you're going to get better and better audio, better and 113 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,600 better video. He calls himself to face the 114 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,120 franchise. I will let you guys be the 115 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,200 judge. You look like you got a little 116 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,960 bit like a 5:00 shadow going on right now. 117 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,280 Are you getting? No, I just dimmed the room. 118 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,720 I just dimmed the room. I got the the better, better 119 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,440 lighting here. So you can't accuse me of being 120 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,400 too pale. And then just for for clarity, 121 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,680 because I just watched that opening video for the first time 122 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,720 and saw Christopher Wray making sure that he knew your name. 123 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,200 So I have this today. Which came from from being in 124 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,760 front of Congress. It throws off your white 125 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,040 balance. There it is, Mr. Friend, maybe 126 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,760 we could do that in merch. I can just do this and we can 127 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,160 all have our own character T-shirts. 128 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,120 I'll tell you what I would like to see. 129 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,840 I'd like to see the suspendables badge with support your favorite 130 00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,240 suspendable with operator initials on the inside of it. 131 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:40,880 I like it. Yeah, we can do that. 132 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,200 There's enough room for 2 letters. 133 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,520 Free the merch, man, Free the merch. 134 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,480 I think, I think Garrett's going to see a great uptick in in the 135 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,880 demand here coming up. That's right. 136 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,960 Yeah. No, I think so as well. 137 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,680 OK, so there's been this discussion. 138 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:52,760 First of all, people were getting on me. 139 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,400 They were like, hey, are you late for the show? 140 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,280 I think we're right on time. It feels like we're right on 141 00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:57,600 time. So people were asking me, hey, 142 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,800 you know what's going on? And there's this, there was this 143 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,560 video that was making its rounds on Instagram. 144 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,600 It's had me in tears. I've watched it like 6 times 145 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,560 because I'm trying to glean all of the knowledge that's in it. 146 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,480 This guy basically condensed a lot of these right wing alpha 147 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,600 influencers, the Jocko Willix types, the, I don't know, 148 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,880 whoever is in his same sphere that are always telling you how 149 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,600 to live your life and how to be better and how to make more 150 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,400 money and all this. And so there's this, I don't 151 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,640 think you've seen this. I don't know if I said it to 152 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,840 you, but this is a, this is a video. 153 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:25,640 Ryan, did you were you able to strip that thing down? 154 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,640 Roger.

It's so spot on it, it really 190 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,400 is. It's an entire cottage industry 191 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,799 that sprung up with people. And I mean, I, I, I think 192 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:35,400 obviously there's people that benefit from it. 193 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,799 I've never really subscribed to that. 194 00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,000 I'm always just kind of cut my own path and then do my own 195 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,200 thing. That works for me, you know, But 196 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,799 watching that, he, he briefly mentioned it. 197 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:44,400 So it's still a little bit of the Thunder, but like, I just 198 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,920 kept thinking, like, when are you going to be a dad and like 199 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,360 make people and then. For the family time, it's 200 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,400 between 6:00 and six O 5. That's what real men do, right? 201 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,960 Just podcast and then say hi to the other boys on their way to 202 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,000 the the gym. As long as you're not breaking 203 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,080 your fast and you're making 40K on every on every turn. 204 00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:09,000 Correct, correct and and eating grass fed butter. 205 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,720 Grass fed butter and grass fed pineapple. 206 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,480 So I've done a couple of those things. 207 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,920 I did start a podcast. I did move outside of Austin, 208 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,400 TX. So I'm at least two of those. 209 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,280 I don't wake up and stare at my shoes in the morning. 210 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,480 I have other things going on usually. 211 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,040 That's a Goggins thing, yeah. Yeah, usually what I do is I, I 212 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,800 stare outside the window and I think is today the day when a 213 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,560 flash bang comes through the. Door you too. 214 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,840 I I, I have my my sniper nest set up where I have the, the I 215 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,960 see the, the, I see the only entranceway into my neighborhood 216 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,040 and I'm like, I I know when they're going to come because 217 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,640 the rat, that's the rat they're going to use, right? 218 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,360 And you're already jogging. Early in the morning, you're 219 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,640 running 11 miles. 12 that's obstac for me because I figure 220 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,680 if I leave my house at 5:45, I'll see them on the way in and 221 00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:52,880 then I'll know that I have like 2 hours of freedom left before I 222 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,480 get back. And then at that point, 223 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,920 hopefully the search is already started and conducted. 224 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,640 Hopefully they haven't executed members of my family, but you 225 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,200 know, you never know with the FBI these days. 226 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,840 What are they up to? Laser kill list 3 or 4 now for 227 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,400 the last 10 days. I'm about to blow your mind. 228 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,880 So Ryan, my I literally entitled the beginning of this this topic 229 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,040 list killing spree. And so here, here's the deal. 230 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,040 We had somebody reach out, I think on on Twitter and was 231 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,760 like, you know, is there any reporting on this Tennessee 232 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,600 shooting anywhere other than this one article? 233 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,000 And, and, and my response was is like, yes, it's from me and it's 234 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,440 from my friends, it's from you, it's from Garrett, it's from our 235 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,640 guys that we have that are still in the agency that are doing 236 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,760 this stuff. So hopefully that's good enough 237 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,280 for you. He, he, I think the, the 238 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,560 suspendables USA tag went out there and, you know, that's our 239 00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:41,320 joint account that we've been able to kind of access. 240 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,560 And so we put it out there and just said, look, we have 241 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,880 original reporting for people who are either there or in the 242 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,920 field office getting the memo that there was an agent involved 243 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,680 shooting. And we're up to four. 244 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,640 And there's one you haven't heard of yet. 245 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,760 In fact, it, it predates the others. 246 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,080 So we have this I, I, I literally called this killing 247 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,800 spree. Let's, let's pull up topic #1 248 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,000 Ryan. So this is going to be the, the 249 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,920 one that was in Henderson. What? 250 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,040 There we go. So Asian evolved shooting, it's 251 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,800 on Stanford St. or Sanford St. rather in Henderson, TN. 252 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,720 So we talked about this, we've got Tennessee, we've got Provo, 253 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,120 UT, we've got Albuquerque. That's all been in the last 254 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,360 about 8 days, maybe 9 days, but there actually was one on the 255 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,480 7th as well. So the one that happened in in 256 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,480 Tennessee took place and they used the donger. 257 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,960 If you could pull up the other pictures from from topic 3, 258 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,040 Ryan, I want to show the donger and I'm going to give Steve's a 259 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,160 chance to talk about it. That's actually the picture from 260 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,280 from Tennessee. This is a stock photo of what 261 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,240 the donger looks like. We've talked about it and people 262 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,280 ask me for it. So this is the donger and 263 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,600 there's one more picture of it right there. 264 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,600 That is the fully engaged lifted, I guess, fully erect 265 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,920 donger, which we used to call the Dong of justice in in the 266 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,960 Washington field office. But you could see is a battering 267 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,400 ram that it fixes to the front of a of a Lenco BearCat, which 268 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,080 is an armored vehicle that goes and it's a it's specifically 269 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,240 designed for SWAT operations and and urban law enforcement for, 270 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,000 you know, dangerous subjects and you can take it right through a 271 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,640 wall. Steve, tell me about some of the 272 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,760 training you guys did with this thing and and how serious people 273 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,240 thought it was. Well, when we first got it, we 274 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,360 were joking that it was made by the, you know, lowest bidder and 275 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,800 it's a government contract. So it was more likely to hit the 276 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,560 building and then the back end of the donger would go through 277 00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:25,960 the chest of the driver of the BearCat as opposed to actually 278 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,640 penetrating through the structure. 279 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,880 But it's multi parts, so it has to be assembled. 280 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,600 It's not really convenient to do. 281 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,960 You can't drive for long distances obviously with it 282 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,200 because it's hard to navigate with it. 283 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,160 So you you have to rehearse assembling it close by and then 284 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,440 it's putting attaching it on the front and then it has to be done 285 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,800 quickly. So you can hop back into the 286 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,720 BearCat and then go hit the structure that you need to go 287 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,480 do. And you kind of look like this 288 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:54,160 quasi NASCAR pit stop team that that does its thing. 289 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,680 But I mean, it's just not going to be able to penetrate like a 290 00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:02,160 really secured location. It's it's seeming, it's, it's 291 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,560 again, it's, it's law enforcement cosplay or it's 292 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,280 close quarter battle cosplay. And, and if it's necessary to 293 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,160 breach the facility, is that secure? 294 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,920 I, I have to question why you're sending a part time tactical 295 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,840 team that trains four days a month to go and and get it the 296 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,040 exception of like a hostage situation. 297 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,400 Why, why is this necessary? This is, I think it's you 298 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,080 touched on this. Unless you're like in Baltimore 299 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,360 or like East Saint Louis, outside is pretty secure in 300 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,200 America. You have time, you can just wait 301 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,640 and and then just wait for the bad guy to come outside and get 302 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,080 him. Like if you especially if you 303 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,360 think he has guns, why are you going to go into the building 304 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,920 where he has all the guns And you could present you have 305 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,840 introduced violence now or higher likelihood of violence. 306 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,320 And I was talking to my wife last night about it and I said, 307 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,040 like, if my, my son is going into first grade, but last year 308 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,200 he was in kindergarten and let's say like he was getting picked 309 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,800 on and, or, or even bullied by another kid. 310 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,640 If, if I said I'm going to handle this as opposed to 311 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,800 calling the teacher or telling my son to stand up for himself. 312 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,400 No, I'm going to, I'm going to use a higher threshold here. 313 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,920 I'm going to walk into the classroom and address this, this 314 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,400 kindergartner. And then this kid hits me in the 315 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,760 leg and then I haul off and punch him and break his orbital 316 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,720 socket. I can claim that was 317 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,520 self-defense by FBI standards for the way that they're 318 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,640 categorizing these shoots and they're saying, well, it's by 319 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,480 policy, it's a good shoot, deadly force. 320 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,920 It was necessary. Well, I introduced that when I 321 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,360 walked into the kindergarten classroom. 322 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,160 Right. Yeah. 323 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,360 So the story is, and I'm going to actually reach off screen 324 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,560 real quickly because I keep this, because I keep this handy 325 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,200 in nearby. This sits on my desk. 326 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,200 The story was is that the guy in Tennessee was carrying a 357 327 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,840 revolver, which is about like this. 328 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,040 And now many of you let me get it, send it in the screen. 329 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,200 Many of you are familiar with the revolver. 330 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,680 It has 6 rounds. Apparently he fired six of them. 331 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,360 Bad decision. I mean, that makes it a good 332 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,640 shoot, but we're talking about a man that's rolling around with 333 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,040 this. This is was made in the early 334 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,520 1980s. I think this was actually made 335 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,400 in 1981, if my memory serves. It's a 686-2 for those of you 336 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,400 who are Smith and Wesson vintage fans. 337 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,080 That's, it's a beautiful piece of equipment, but it is not 338 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,200 something that you want to go into a combat scenario with when 339 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,240 you're dealing with 12 armed men who are coming through the door 340 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,520 of your home or breaking through the windows of it in the glass 341 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,080 of it with the, with the donger that's sitting on the front of a 342 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,120 BearCat. So when a bunch of guys in an 343 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,760 armored vehicle come rolling in and, and we've mentioned this, 344 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,840 there are places in America that are pretty unsafe. 345 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,040 I've actually stood behind a BearCat and thought that this is 346 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,560 not enough in, in parts of West Baltimore where you look around 347 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,440 and you're like, the zombie apocalypse has already happened 348 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,000 in this city. And we lost. 349 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,960 We didn't, we didn't like, we were not successful in the 350 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,680 attempts and the zombies have taken over. 351 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,320 That's real. Like every other building looks 352 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,920 burned out. Every 3rd building looks like 353 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,680 it's been dropped on its own structure or there's just 354 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,280 remnants of it and people are doing God knows what in the dark 355 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,960 shadows at 3:45 in the morning as we go roll through. 356 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,520 So that's a real thing. And, and you may want to find 357 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,640 yourself in the comfort of an actual physical structure, 358 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,320 although those structures look pretty shady too. 359 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,640 That's not the case for most of America. 360 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,880 You know, that's not the case for when you drive around in 361 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,920 this country. You don't need to break into a 362 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,680 home or a house in order to get to safety. 363 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,440 Like we have law enforcement capabilities. 364 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,040 All law enforcement tactics these days are geared towards 365 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,400 slow, methodical, smart, reduce the threat, de escalate, 366 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,280 etcetera. Because we can, because we have 367 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,120 the technology. If you're sitting in a BearCat, 368 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,600 they can sit there and plink all day long. 369 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,760 We used to have this joke. My buddy was on the the WFO team 370 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,480 and Steve, you'll probably you'll, you'll just imagine this 371 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,040 if you were in your SWAT operation room and no one's ever 372 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,800 breathed the scenario. Imagine a drum fed 22 caliber 373 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,960 Ruger 10/22. OK, which I have that on a on a 374 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,720 tripod aimed at the Bearcats windshield and then just 375 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,760 someone's just squeezing off around like every, I don't know, 376 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,200 3 or 4 seconds and it just popping and hitting the glass 377 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,920 there. Think, I think how long could 378 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,200 you tie up an FBI SWAT team that was taking incoming fire from a 379 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,000 22 that holds 120 rounds of it? They're just. 380 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,800 Long enough that they would probably have HRT respond. 381 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,320 Right. They put guys on helicopters 382 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,880 from Virginia. They'd fly out there to come 383 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,920 deal with you because you were actively like, plinking. 384 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,640 Which just reminds me of we, we went through SWAT training. 385 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,280 One of the guys was saying, we're talking about the 386 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,319 selection process out of his field office. 387 00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:16,960 And it was like multi day and really involved some of these 388 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,359 teams, man, like it's like week long. 389 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,920 They think it's like buds training for, for Navy Seals. 390 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,000 They, they, they get way over the top on it. 391 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:27,440 And he said that they were out in Oregon in the standoff for 392 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,640 like hours and hours. And finally one of the guys just 393 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,000 broke down and he goes, you know what? 394 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,040 This should be selection. You should just have to sit in a 395 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,680 van with a bunch of dudes for like 13 hours and see who breaks 396 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,560 and who doesn't and if you can handle that because that's it's 397 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,720 SWAT stands for sit, wait and talk for the most part. 398 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,120 Right. I used to call it the standard 399 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,200 warrants and arrest team. All right. 400 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,360 And, and it often is that too or the standard weapons attack 401 00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:52,640 team, because they have all the standard weapons. 402 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,840 Like there's nothing more generic than an M4 and A and a 403 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,880 Glock 17 in, in any law enforcement category. 404 00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:00,680 But, but we, we make a good point because what I really want 405 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,840 from my guys that are on SWAT, you know, the people in SWAT in 406 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,520 any Police Department or federal law enforcement. 407 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,440 I don't care who you are. I don't care if you can do buds 408 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,280 level fitness. I don't care if you can do log 409 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,480 PT. There is zero call for that in 410 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,600 anything you ever did. I know for a fact, because I've 411 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,120 seen 50 to 60, maybe, maybe more SWAT warrant surf. 412 00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:22,200 There is no reason why you're infill is longer than about 50 413 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,320 yards, right? You're not carrying heavy packs 414 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,520 for long periods of time. You're not doing runs and 415 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,240 sprints and buddy carries and everything else. 416 00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:31,400 You're literally rolling up over somebody's lawn that you 417 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,520 probably destroyed their mailbox 'cause you parked in their front 418 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,120 yard and you're breaking down their house for a few minutes 419 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,800 and you're having some high stress fun throwing flash bangs 420 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,680 into empty rooms or where the grandma sleeps. 421 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,800 And then at the end of that, then you go high 5 and you go 422 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,160 get Denny's. Yeah. 423 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,120 So I mean, it's, I mean, we used to have this kind of sadistic 424 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,240 senior team leader, and he was, I mean, sadistic to me because 425 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,480 I'm very cold all the time. And he would make us go out into 426 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,040 the cold weather and train and be like, you know, you have to 427 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,000 train in the cold because you have to know your equipment. 428 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,040 And I was just like, really, really cold. 429 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,400 Why wouldn't we just do the warrant the next day when it's 430 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,720 slightly warmer? It's not like this is an 431 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,840 imminent threat. Like why would we train in a 432 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,080 Blizzard when we would not really do that as from an 433 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,000 operational standpoint, I would much rather what if, what if 434 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,360 scenarios that are highly likely. 435 00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:19,760 Like I, I presented what if we hit the house? 436 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,040 Obviously he's not going to come to the door because he might be 437 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,720 on the toilet at 6:00 in the morning. 438 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,920 Like if he's waking up, you know, like getting ready for 439 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,680 work. Like how are we going to address 440 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,160 that threat if we catch a guy with his pants around his ankles 441 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,800 and what are you going to stare at him and be like, finish up or 442 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,440 are you going to yank him off the toilet? 443 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,480 Like that to me is more likely than a lot of these scenarios 444 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,840 that we're looking into where it's like, you know, you and 445 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,360 your partner are approaching this scenario and it's a hostage 446 00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:49,720 negotiation because the president's son had a fallout 447 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,040 and has now been kidnapped. And I mean, it's like, come on, 448 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,360 man. Like let's go with high 449 00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,040 percentage situations. And I'm, I'm not even doing 450 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,360 8020. It's like 99 to 1% chances of 451 00:19:58,360 --> 00:19:59,800 like, let's train like you fight. 452 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,680 Right, guy sleeping in his bed and he's naked and he's getting 453 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,360 up. How about dude sleeping in his 454 00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:08,120 bed and he's got a six year old kid in the bed with him. 455 00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:09,720 That's something we faced on a regular basis. 456 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,320 And I, and I love it. The guy on the toilet, because 457 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,800 now I want to put you to a decision for all your chips, 458 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,120 wipe or no wipe, SWAT guy, you know, and so and So what we need 459 00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:20,920 to get down to. And, and this is the problem, I 460 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,880 think with a lot of policing, I think most law enforcement is 461 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,440 actually gone this route in many ways. 462 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,960 Local police departments have figured out that what they need 463 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,160 for these types of scenarios are not the most, you know, ass 464 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,600 kicking killers. They need people that make 465 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,400 really good decisions under high stress. 466 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,560 And that is what the the in theory, what's what training was 467 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,000 supposed to do is supposed to get people to levels of some 468 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,560 tiredness or some physical stress and then some, some 469 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,240 mental stress. And then can you make a good 470 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,120 decision under pressure? And is your instinct smart? 471 00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:50,120 Is it intelligent? Is it the best for the public 472 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,400 instead of this like like you say, buds training this wannabe, 473 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,800 this wannabe operator thing? Yeah, I mean, it's it's 474 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,120 recognizing what are the most valuable assets in the situation 475 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:02,120 as opposed to what all the tools you have at your fingertips are. 476 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:05,760 I had one situation in my career where it was actually a vehicle 477 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,280 pursuit. Guy winds up turning over and 478 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,880 they hear banging and they believe that he's firing shots. 479 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,840 So it's basically a standoff of an overturned vehicle and a 480 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,280 subject in there. So like SWAT teams from around 481 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,320 the areas also around. We had like 45 guys with slung M 482 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,600 fours from multiple agencies and we had a simple command post and 483 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,440 then it's like my phone's ringing off the hook. 484 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,640 I'm the only FBI guy there. So like by default, they assume 485 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,200 that you're in charge of this command post. 486 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,320 I'm like, I'm not, I'm in jeans and AT shirt that that's like 487 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,520 not, not my jam, but I'm kind of running the show here. 488 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,480 And it's like, well, do we want to send the K9 unit in to like 489 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,880 RIP him out of this vehicle? Do we want to send a SWAT team 490 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,760 up to approach and then engage? In vehicle assault. 491 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,720 And I was like, we're in the middle of a cornfield and the 492 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,920 temperatures drop in. And I know we all want to get 493 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,280 home, but like, we have one, we have 360° of visibility on this 494 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,000 guy. He's going to have to come out 495 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,720 of this vehicle at some point and like, we'll just wait. 496 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,240 That that's our greatest asset is time and space. 497 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,320 I know you want to call in like a, you know, a Spectre gunship 498 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,360 to do a sortie on this guy, but it's just not going to be as 499 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:15,080 useful as time and waiting. And I mean, unfortunately we 500 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,720 wait for hours and then unfortunately then for those 501 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,600 guys basically lost patience and they sent in a team And I was 502 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,240 like, look, it's not my team, it's not my subject. 503 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,240 I can't really tell you not to do it. 504 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,560 I would advise against it. But they sent in the guys and he 505 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,440 wasn't armed for all that. But he was probably banging on 506 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,800 that car to try to get out, right? 507 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,400 I mean, that's. Yeah, I mean, he was like he 508 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,720 was, no, he was sitting there. He had like he was dealing with 509 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,960 some grief. He had a pass and his family was 510 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,960 in. He had like a 24 pack in the 511 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,280 vehicle. So he was just sitting there 512 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,360 down in beers and eventually he just ran a beer. 513 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,520 Yes, that's the most, that is the most accurate microcosm for 514 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,080 most stupidity doesn't mean there's not real danger, doesn't 515 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,120 mean that people don't pull weapons. 516 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:53,120 I'm just saying like you can be smarter. 517 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,960 You don't, you can wait them out, You're getting paid. 518 00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:56,960 The guys that are on the locals are getting paid overtime. 519 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,240 The guys, they get paid for this anyway. 520 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,360 They can rotate in, they can tap people out. 521 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,440 And like I said, good decision making. 522 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,440 Trump's kill operator status, which they love to get. 523 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,480 And I don't mind when when law enforcement kills someone that 524 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,800 they're justified in killing and they need to. 525 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,560 There are times when that happens for sure. 526 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,880 We can see it. So I don't want to act like 527 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,560 we're some sort of like I'm not a yeah. 528 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,400 What do you you always say you're not a shrinking Violet. 529 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,800 You know, we're not, we're, we're not pacifists here that 530 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,320 are arguing that there is not a a place for use of force. 531 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,840 No. SWAT is a legitimate law 532 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,680 enforcement tool. It has its time and its place. 533 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,160 But the first word is special. It it requires special 534 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,320 circumstances, it shouldn't necessarily be for a standard 535 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,320 warrant operation. And and that's the problem with 536 00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:38,080 with agencies like the FBI. They just view all warrants or 537 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,520 all arrests as being special because the people there didn't 538 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,160 join the FBI to actually be a case agent like you see on TV 539 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,320 and movies where they work their case and then put their 540 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,440 handcuffs on the bad guy. And then good guys win at the 541 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,560 end of the day. They're managing cases and 542 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,320 they're using the tools that the FBI tells them to use like chess 543 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,760 pieces. And they're sending the evidence 544 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,040 team to do evidence and surveillance team to do 545 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,280 surveillance and forensic accounts to do financial 546 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,200 analysis. And now some do the arrests, 547 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,520 we'll send the default arrest option, which is the SWAT team. 548 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,800 So now we are introducing a higher level or high and a 549 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,960 higher likelihood of violence in these arrests than is absolutely 550 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,200 necessary when you have all these other options. 551 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,200 Just make a phone call or interdict him like you did so 552 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,160 many times at gas stations. You you choose your tactic, you 553 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,680 choose your what's on the table as far as the responses of the 554 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,440 subject, 100% that they always say the bad guy gets a vote, but 555 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,880 you kind of can help shape what his vote looks like and what his 556 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,520 options are and going into somebody house. 557 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,520 So just another example before we get into this, this fourth 558 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,200 shooting that people are not aware of, which predates the 559 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,680 other ones. The my my buddy was on the SWAT 560 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,440 team in Sacramento and spent a bunch of time doing it and he 561 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,800 said they went into a door one time and they caught the guy in 562 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,240 the shower. Now that's a legitimate 563 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,600 question. That's a great tactic. 564 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,920 The other problem was is that even though the guy was naked in 565 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,720 the shower directly under his bed, which he dived for, and my 566 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,040 friend basically tackled him on the ground, he had a loaded AAR 567 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,560 15 underneath it. Because what happens when you're 568 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,880 in the shower and somebody breaks down your door and you 569 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,200 look and you're standing there naked and you're trying to clean 570 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,520 yourself to get your day started. 571 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,600 And suddenly there are people in your room with flashlights 572 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,000 yelling things that you don't understand and you're a drug 573 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,280 dealer and you think someone's come to rip your stash. 574 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,160 You're going for your gun. You're not waiting to find out 575 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,800 like we. We have this assumption. 576 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,880 There's always the idea. Well, we yelled FBI very loudly 577 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,160 and we were yelling search warrant. 578 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,560 After you threw the flash bang and. 579 00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,440 After the guy has no idea what's going on, he's standing naked in 580 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,000 the shower. It's the bad decision theater 581 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,080 that we would always have. It's like, why would you go into 582 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,440 the place that the other person knows the best, knows where 583 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,160 their weapons are stashed the most, and you introduce the 584 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,120 possibility that you're going to have to make basically, are my 585 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:37,840 reactions faster than this guy? We're not trying to lure people 586 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,960 into an Old West shootout. A quick draw, like I'm guessing 587 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,520 we win, we being enforcement people who train. 588 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,560 You're going to probably win the the fair fight. 589 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,520 And that's, you know, that's good that the good guy gets to 590 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,200 go home. It's bad that you make somebody 591 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,640 have to make that decision when there's so many better options 592 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,200 and we have the time and we have the resources before we, we do. 593 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,400 Let me let me introduce you to something. 594 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,560 By the way, somebody said they really love the, the was it sit, 595 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,080 wait and talk that that was, that was a big hit in the chat. 596 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,360 So if you'll pull up topic #2 Ryan, I'm going to just flashes 597 00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:09,360 on the screen here and I'll have Steve react to it. 598 00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:13,360 So here you go, man. Shot by the FBI in Philadelphia, 599 00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:16,280 dies from injuries. This is from August 7th, so this 600 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,040 was about 11 days ago. My buddy who is involved in a 601 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,280 headquarters unit that that's has visibility to this stuff, I 602 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,960 don't want to say too much more about it, call him out, but 603 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,720 because he's a good source of information, said there were 4 604 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,280 shootings, they had one bombing, 1 hazmat response, and that the 605 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,800 FBI also responded to two assault on federal officers by 606 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,920 the US Marshall Service in the last 10 days. 607 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,800 A very busy evidence recovery team, but this is the first one. 608 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,640 Has anyone heard about an FBI agent that was shot in 609 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,200 Philadelphia? Have. 610 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:43,960 You heard about this before, Steve? 611 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,320 Nope, haven't heard that. I've heard about Jack and 612 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,000 McGuire getting elevated out of that, that position. 613 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,920 That's right. So let me just read the the 614 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,640 story real quick. We'll keep reflecting on it says 615 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,560 a man has died days after he was shot by an FBI agent who was 616 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,120 serving warrants in a Philadelphia neighborhood. 617 00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,640 Go shocked. Sources say that the 22 year old 618 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,800 Tahim Weeks cook as the man who was shot and later succumbed to 619 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,640 his injuries sustained in Friday's shooting on the 1700 620 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,440 block of West Venago. I don't know. 621 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,920 Bengo St. Officials say that the FBI 622 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,560 agents were serving a an arrest and search warrants on a person 623 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,880 in a nearby home and at some point the person that was shot, 624 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,720 later identified as Weeks, could cook, was shot by the agent. 625 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,360 We don't even know if this is the person that was supposed to 626 00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:26,360 be in the the the warrants. Sounds like it, yeah. 627 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,720 It's possible now, you know, but you know, often times you'll see 628 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,600 people that are they, they slip out of their homes when the feds 629 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,960 show up or whatever and then they they try to return in 630 00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:35,880 anyway. While the FBI has yet to release 631 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,920 any more publicly available statements, source says that it 632 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,360 may have been linked to a string of armed robberies at 711 stores 633 00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:41,560 in the area. So that's good. 634 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,880 What what I really want is I want my federal law enforcement 635 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,920 agency handling the the armed robbery string that's going on 636 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,760 of seven elevens rather than letting the locals do it. 637 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,320 And if possible, they could serve the warrant at 0600 and 638 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,400 shoot somebody. Yeah, well, I mean, the Safe 639 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,880 Streets Task Force needs to get its wiretap going. 640 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,160 You know, they got to get that OSA def operation so they can 641 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,760 get unlimited funding. And then it might be like, you 642 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,440 know, three guys who were friends, but we're going to 643 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,640 label them as a gang so that when we arrested, we can claim 644 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,760 disruptions and talk about this great partnership that we have 645 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,800 with all of our local partners where we've now gone in and 646 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,920 killed a guy that probably didn't need to die and need to 647 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,560 be in prison. Our buddy Joe Pugs, who folks 648 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:22,960 can follow on Twitter and probably have. 649 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,720 If you've been in any of our Twitter spaces, you've probably 650 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,920 seen Joe's doing his thing. Joe was an FBI agent with me at 651 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,160 the Washington Field Office. He was there for exactly 2 years 652 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:36,560 -1 day and resigned on his own steam the day before his 653 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,320 probation ended because they were planning on trying to fire 654 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,240 him on that same day. His story is actually really 655 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,120 atrocious. It was atrocious at the time. 656 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,600 And the reason that he got in hot water with the FBI staff is 657 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,440 because he was not wearing a a tie with his jacket and dress 658 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,040 shirt and slacks. When he went to go see an 659 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,440 initial appearance. It may have been that he wasn't 660 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,960 wearing a jacket, but he was wearing a tie. 661 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,680 It's he was missing one critical article of clothing that a 662 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,320 female administrative agent was throwing out there. 663 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,640 And because of that, he was removed from the FBI service. 664 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,840 And he's a, he was a detective before and he's a detective 665 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,440 again. He's working for a, for a PD in 666 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,280 the, the Maryland area and he is working with what's called the 667 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,080 cross-border Task Force. This is ACR 2 criminal criminal 668 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,320 squad two out of Washington Field. 669 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,280 And they are pissed at him right now because he's not giving him 670 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,840 all the Intel on his own cases that he's running because 671 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,880 there's a criminal gang of people that are stealing 672 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,720 mufflers and catalytic converters in the greater 673 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,640 Washington, DC area. And his team is on it. 674 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,480 They've got trackers, they've got, you know, phone pings. 675 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,600 They've got all the tactical tools to be able to stop it. 676 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,000 And they're dealing with a local crime issue. 677 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,520 The FBI is trying to declare it to be a major counterterrorism 678 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,840 counterintelligence threat. And they have strangely tried to 679 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,880 link it to the Israelis, which is hilarious. 680 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,920 And they're mad at Joe because Joe won't give them all their 681 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,360 Intel in the case because they can't find the subjects that him 682 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,760 and his team are running around following. 683 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,760 So they're only reading about it after it gets done. 684 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,600 And they want to get that. They want to get that bus. 685 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,280 They want that lust for the bus, you know, pay off. 686 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,800 They want to get that, which I love by the way, they're they're 687 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,280 out there trying to gain gain stats off my buddy's work who 688 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,520 used. To be 100% that's, that's, 689 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,080 that's Agent Johnson and Agent Johnson, no relation. 690 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,360 They're going to come in in big time and adopt A case and take 691 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,640 it in a direction that it doesn't need to go in. 692 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,520 Like these guys are stealing mufflers. 693 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,120 They're not terrorists. And if they're stealing mufflers 694 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,920 to further terrorist activity like that, that seems like a 695 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,320 really bad plan. But obviously you would 696 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,560 apprehend them and stop them from doing that. 697 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,440 And then ergo, there would be no more funding to terrorism. 698 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,800 What? Why is the FBI trying to jump on 699 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,080 this? It's just again, trying to 700 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,760 justify their existence and take a case and claim stats off of it 701 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,400 and then take it away from the locals and then put it on TV and 702 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,800 claim that it was the greatest, well, the maybe the new greatest 703 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,240 Al Qaeda takedown, even though there was no link to al Qaeda. 704 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,960 When I was applying for the FBI, someone told me that your 705 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,280 personal statement and every single time you answered a 706 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,200 question during the phase two interview phase should have been 707 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,080 you. You asked me a question and then 708 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,600 I tell you how me, myself and I saved the world and why you 709 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,560 should hire me because of it. That's what you were supposed to 710 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,560 phrase your answers as. And that culture exists 711 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,160 throughout the FBI. It exists throughout, maybe 712 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,920 federal law enforcement in general, but it's all about 713 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,000 this. Like, how did we come in and 714 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,720 save the day and present ourselves as the superior? 715 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,000 You saw it at the Academy. I know you didn't the 954, the 716 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,080 promotion document that that's, that's basically what it is. 717 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,360 I mean, if I was told if you complete 1, you basically have 718 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,920 to take a shower after you do it because you were claiming 719 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,520 responsibility for anything that you might have had the the least 720 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,040 amount of involvement with. Like, and that was every time I 721 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,720 had a program manager come in, it was every 18 months. 722 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,600 I've been working on the res and somebody who had no experience 723 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,160 on an Indian Reservation would be a program manager and at 724 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,960 headquarters and they would call me up and they would ask me 725 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,240 about some case that I hadn't thought about for like 8 months 726 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,280 because it was sitting with the US Attorney's office. 727 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,560 Maybe the guy was already locked up. 728 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,480 They were negotiating A plea. I wasn't doing anything. 729 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,800 Up they and they didn't read the case file. 730 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,200 No, they had no idea and they were like, well, I have some 731 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,880 thoughts on this case. I'm like, because you just want 732 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,440 to put your name on something in this case because you think 733 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,200 something in this case sounds sexy to you that you can put on 734 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,160 your 954 for your promotion. That's right, yeah. 735 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,400 And so how does that culture exist? 736 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,360 Let's bring up topic #4 Ryan, if you want to throw this on the 737 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,000 screen here for Steve to see as well. 738 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,120 There we go. Can you pull up the. 739 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,280 There's actually a screenshot of it. 740 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:26,200 This is Jenna 626, also known as N708JH. 741 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:31,320 This is the FBI Gulfstream, the 5:50 that Chris Ray flies around 742 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,520 in. And if you have it, we'll pull 743 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,840 it up. But essentially, what we've got 744 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,880 is some movement coming right now. 745 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,120 Perfect. The movement by Chris Wray. 746 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,000 This is the, we're going to see in just a second here. 747 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,160 The past flights that he's been involved in and they use that 748 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,200 plane for a little bit. They actually flew to Henderson. 749 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,360 But the other thing that's really important is there, it is 750 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,080 what you guys can see there. If you scroll about halfway 751 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,160 down, if you're looking on tiny print, you won't be able to read 752 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,240 it. But he went to Adirondack 753 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,720 Regional Airport on Monday and looks like they just picked him 754 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,280 up and brought him back home. They're going to have to pick 755 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,400 him up from his from his vacay. He's doing a personal vacation 756 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,440 again on the taxpayer dollar in our private jet. 757 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,640 And of course, in order to go and pick him up, what they did 758 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,800 first was they flew to DC. Reagan. 759 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,760 He's continuing the pattern of flying out, having an aircraft 760 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,120 fly to him because it's easier for him to get his motorcade to 761 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,480 drive him a few minutes down to Reagan. 762 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,720 Then he goes and takes his jet set off to go do fun things like 763 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,560 go to his, go to his favorite place in the Adirondacks. 764 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,760 This is the same thing that Josh Halley was yelling at him about 765 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,720 saying I've never been there. I don't remember the name of the 766 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,640 place, but Chris Ray living like a Prince, not solving these 767 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,840 problems that happen in the FBI. The culture continues. 768 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,120 Oh, absolutely not. I mean, look, he says that 769 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,160 there's a record number of applicants to the FBI, so that 770 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,760 means that everything's good. Look, if you poison your 771 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,440 customers as a restaurateur and the customers say every time I 772 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,560 eat your food, I get food poisoning, I don't like your 773 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,680 restaurant. And you say, well, I have a 774 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,640 record number of people applying to be waiters, so I'm good. 775 00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:03,000 That's the logic that Christopher Ray follows to 776 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,000 justify what's gone on with the FBI. 777 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,480 Where the public approval of it is now, it's actually crossing 778 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,880 party lines. It's like something like 35% 779 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,000 approval for the FBI. It's it's approaching Congress. 780 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,239 Which is, yeah, the historically terrible stuff. 781 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,320 If you pull up a topic #8 for me too, Ryan, there was a an 782 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,400 ongoing decision. I'll tell you this, the federal 783 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,120 courts are, are kind of a disaster area. 784 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,760 But what we do have is the 5th Circuit is one of the few that 785 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,920 is actually pushing back. They push back on the FBI. 786 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,360 They push back on the DOJ. They've pushed back about the 787 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,400 the mandates that were going on. If you guys saw the the federal 788 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,040 worker mandate for COVID vaccines, it was actually held 789 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,960 an injunction by the 5th Circuit and then it was affirmed by the 790 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,199 end bank review that happened. This is the the group Feds for 791 00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:44,840 medical freedom and here's another one of them. 792 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,000 The White House strongly disagrees with the 5th Circuit 793 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,120 abortion pill ruling, which is to say that you can't send them 794 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,480 in the mail and they're going out there and they're claiming 795 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,080 that, you know, that the White House has this. 796 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,920 Like, why they would have any position on an abortion ruling 797 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,200 is beyond me. I'll let you reflect on this in 798 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,480 a second. Steve just says the Biden 799 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:01,840 administration. This comes from our friends at 800 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,040 Catholic Vote. By the way, if you're getting 801 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,240 the loop, you will get this. The Biden admin is strongly 802 00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:07,760 disagrees with the federal appeals court Wednesday that 803 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,640 ended mail order abortion pills and place other restrictions on 804 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,160 abortion causing drugs. You know, like you can't order 805 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,400 your drugs through the mail. You have to go to a pharmacy 806 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,880 like everyone else does for everything else. 807 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,720 Why we're trying to make this thing out there, who knows? 808 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,400 It says we strongly disagree with today's ruling from the 5th 809 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:28,000 Circuit Court of Appeals in Alliance for Hippocratic 810 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,560 Medicine versus FDA because we actually have to go out and 811 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,000 fight our federal government's positions on trying to kill off 812 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,960 babies. It says it undermines the FDA 813 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,600 scientific independent judgement and reimposes onerous 814 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,880 restrictions on safe and effective medication abortion. 815 00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:44,480 Steve, I'll let you reflect on that for a second here. 816 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,240 How in the world have we gotten? I was just was telling people on 817 00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:49,720 Twitter today, you know, in the 80s, we didn't have any of this 818 00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:50,800 stuff. We didn't have the Internet. 819 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,880 We had to pick up a, a home phone and you had a wired phone. 820 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,000 I showed, I showed my kids a movie where they, where there's 821 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,960 a girl, she was talking to her friends and she's like spinning 822 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,920 around, wrapping herself up in the phone like the the landline 823 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,840 and, and everyone knew that abortion was supposed to be 824 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,640 safe, legal and rare. That was sort of the piece on 825 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,880 it. You, you have this rewriting of 826 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,640 history right now. And then you have the freaking 827 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,800 White House fighting against court rulings. 828 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,800 I don't know help help the world make sense for me a little bit. 829 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,600 I don't know if you'll can help me make sense because it's 830 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,440 completely nonsensical. Let's talk Hippocratic Oath now. 831 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,680 Now it's oh so important when you can have these doctors that 832 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,200 say, hey, look, I know you have the disease right now and 833 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,320 there's some medicine that I could give you, but I'm not 834 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,640 going to give you that. And make sure after you recover 835 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,280 hopefully and don't have to go into an iron lung or die in a 836 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,520 hospital, that you get the vaccine for the exact illness 837 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,080 that you just had. Oh, and by the way, in keeping 838 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:49,240 with my Hippocratic Oath to do no harm, if your little boy 839 00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:53,040 likes to play with Barbies, we should probably castrate him and 840 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,200 then put him on hormones that give him cancer because that's 841 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,280 the route we need to go. As opposed to maybe sitting him 842 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,920 down saying like, Hey, that's, you know, I know you might be 843 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,800 confused and, and let, let's, let's deal with your, your 844 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,880 mental issues because, you know, permanently scarring him 845 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,240 physically is, is the actual way to do it. 846 00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:15,040 So Hippocratic Oath, I guess is negotiable now. 847 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,400 It, it's just whatever you perceive to be your, your, your, 848 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,240 your preferred end. And I don't take them seriously 849 00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,600 at all. And I've lost basically all 850 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,960 respect for the medical industry. 851 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,080 I was just having a conversation with my sister who works in the 852 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,080 medical industry about it. And I, I ran out of prescription 853 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,200 for my asthma medication and she, she helped me get one and 854 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,880 she's like, why don't you have a practitioner? 855 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,120 And I was like, I haven't been the doctor in like 2 years 856 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,480 because I don't trust any of them at all. 857 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,520 I got Delta and the guy told me that he wouldn't give me 858 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,800 ivermectin and I should take hot and cold showers and make sure I 859 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,000 got the Pfizer vaccine when I recovered. 860 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,160 And I told him I was taking my asthma medication. 861 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,720 He said you're risking your children's lives by doing that. 862 00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:57,840 And I said they live in the house with me and it's very 863 00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,640 contagious. I I think we're good. 864 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,360 Right, yeah, I had COVID the first time around. 865 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,440 Whatever the alpha wave was, I'm sure I had the delta wave as 866 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,520 well. And you know, my kids survived. 867 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,000 My wife was pregnant when we had the first run in 2020. 868 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,120 And I thought that was always interesting. 869 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:11,360 Nothing happened to her, by the way. 870 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,640 I don't even think she lost. I don't think she even lost her 871 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,480 sense of smell. I was pretty tired carrying my 872 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,480 kids up and down the stairs. And that was the, the net 873 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,400 result. Let me, let me pivot over. 874 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,840 I think this was topic number. Is it topic #9? 875 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:22,880 Ryan. Yeah. 876 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,720 Parents don't matter. Also coming from our friends 877 00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:26,200 over at Catholic Vote, it was something I thought was really 878 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,040 interesting. So this is the danger of it 879 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,840 because we, we have institutions that have lost the, the 880 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,480 credibility. We talked about it the other 881 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,040 day, Steve, on the on the show. I talked about it, how there's 882 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,120 this like idea that there's a Wellness to fascism pipeline 883 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,320 because people are looking around and going, hey, I don't 884 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,520 trust the medical industry. I don't trust the, the media. 885 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,320 I don't trust fill in the blank industry. 886 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,160 And the other side of the coin is what's going on in Virginia 887 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,760 right now. This is the Fairfax County 888 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,600 public schools. I used to live in Fairfax 889 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:54,800 County. This hits close to home. 890 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,960 They were a wild leftist group. And the the headline is, is 891 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,840 Virginia's biggest school district violates the new pro 892 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,880 parent rules that were pushed through under Glenn Younkin, who 893 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,520 ran on the sovereignty of parents to be able to to make 894 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,800 good decisions for their kids. So this school district, which 895 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,640 is the largest in the state, one of the largest in the country, 896 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,960 serves over 181,000 students, encompassing many of the 897 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,360 affluent suburbs of DC, which is like I said, where we used to 898 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,240 live, ranked top five wealthiest counties in the US with a median 899 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:24,520 household well into the six figures. 900 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,520 And despite the pro family and pro parents rights things that 901 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,440 have been going on in Virginia, the Fairfax County Public School 902 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,320 said that we have concluded in our detailed legal review and 903 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,360 determine that our current Fairfax County Public Schools 904 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,160 policies are consistent with state and federal anti 905 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,040 discrimination laws that are required by the new model 906 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,320 policies. And So what they're going to do 907 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,600 is they said they're going to support students, they're going 908 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,000 to work with family members, parents and caregivers that are 909 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,720 not mutually exclusive. They're going to support 910 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,840 transgender and gender expansive students. 911 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,160 And they are going to make sure that they have a safe, 912 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,440 supportive, welcoming and inclusive school environment. 913 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,440 They are going to they're going to not tell people about trans 914 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,000 pronouns. They are not going to stop boys 915 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,880 from entering the girls bathrooms and so on. 916 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,040 So. This is the thing the left does 917 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,760 really, really well. They go, you said what we're 918 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,240 doing is illegal, but we want to, so we're going to do it 919 00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:20,280 anyway. We don't agree with what that 920 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,640 judge says, but we're not really into that judge. 921 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,000 So we're just going to do whatever we like. 922 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,040 And the people on the, on the political right tend to just go, 923 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,080 well, the judge said we can't do it, so now we have to stop. 924 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,520 Oh, the judge said we can't do this, so we are going to stand 925 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,600 down. What I'd love to see is some 926 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,800 people in the Republican side, maybe that's happening in 927 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:41,120 Florida, step up and have some freaking balls and do the thing 928 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,600 that they are elected to do. And if there is a conflict by 929 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,520 some federal judge, you know what, keep doing your thing and 930 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,640 then let him appeal to the Supreme Court and then maybe 931 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,320 still do your thing because this is supposed to be, as we covered 932 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,240 on a Twitter space on Wednesday, this is supposed to be a 933 00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:57,960 Republican form of government that exists on federalism, which 934 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,280 is to say the biggest layer of the cake and the strongest 935 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,840 powers are supposed to be closest to the people it 936 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,200 represents. Are you getting that sense that 937 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,320 there's A at least a mood happening in Florida? 938 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,440 I'm on a different state so we have different feelings on. 939 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,600 There is in Florida, I mean, I think it was last week the 940 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,120 governor removed yet another one of these district attorneys from 941 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,280 Orlando who was just refusing to to enforce the law. 942 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,720 So there's, there's definitely an and there's an appetite for 943 00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:23,320 it. I was pushing out this idea of 944 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,080 we, we have to go to a place of mutually assured destruction at 945 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,320 this point. It's where we're in an 946 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,840 irreconcilable difference scenario where one side says 947 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,040 whatever we say is either banned or required and you must be 948 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,840 assimilated into the Borg. There's resistance is futile. 949 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,560 And the other side is saying like, well, no, you do you and I 950 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,800 do me. And I have this letter from 951 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,160 mommy called the constitution that says you can't do that and 952 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,800 that should protect me. And it's we, it's, it really is 953 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,200 like it's an old and dusty document that's not going to do 954 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,240 anything when one side doesn't recognize its legitimacy and 955 00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:00,600 just goes ahead and, and moves forward and does whatever they 956 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,480 want to do. So I think the only way to do 957 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,560 that is to meet force with force and say, look, it's the the 958 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,520 Israeli Palestinian analogy that I used. 959 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,480 Like we're not going to put our guns down because when you we 960 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,680 do, the Israel will be gone. We have to respond back with 961 00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:17,000 equal force. And we can do it the right way, 962 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,360 but we have to respond. We can't just say, you know, I, 963 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,360 you know, I'm going to do it. You know, I'm going to do it. 964 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,400 And that's what Young can. Apparently they believe he's 965 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,920 done that. He says he's made a threat. 966 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,120 He's not going to follow through on it. 967 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,160 So that there needs to be some actual ramifications. 968 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,000 There needs to be criminal charges against people who are 969 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,360 violating his order. Now look, there's the that old 970 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,280 book of three felonies a day. Find something. 971 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,200 They're doing it to Donald Trump. 972 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,800 I mean, they charge the dude with like 41 felonies or 973 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,560 something like that in Georgia. Like just find something and 974 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,280 charge it and enforce it. And or if you're the governor, 975 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,600 send send the National Guard to that school district and be 976 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:51,920 like, no, no, we're not doing that. 977 00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:54,560 I agree. I, I agree with you too. 978 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,560 And, and I think you make a good point because it's starting to 979 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,000 to have some rumblings on the social media circuit that I'm 980 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,080 seeing. People are saying if we're going 981 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,120 to have Donald Trump indicted under everything and we're going 982 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,040 to show what weaponization looks like, it's time to weaponize 983 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,680 everybody. We need a GS to dig into the 984 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,920 pockets and start charging leftist politicians everywhere. 985 00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:13,080 Well, you have even. Ones that are not in your 986 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,200 district just. Correct. 987 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,400 You have, I mean, you have district attorneys who got 988 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:21,120 elected locally on the premise of I'm going to charge Donald 989 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,080 Trump with a crime, right? They said they've made no secret 990 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,080 about that. And, and I, I saw that there's 991 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,040 like a recent poll, the, the more they indict Donald Trump, 992 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,440 the, the lower the actual population believes anything's 993 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,200 going to happen, which to me is just baffling. 994 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,600 I was like, where do you think this train goes? 995 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,320 Like he's going to get convicted in Georgia. 996 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,480 He can't even be pardoned by the governor. 997 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,000 There's no out for him. He has to go to prison for five 998 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,800 years and then appeal to a board to be pardoned. 999 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,320 It's not a direct governor relationship there. 1000 00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:52,440 So he's going to prison or some sort of of incarceration. 1001 00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:55,280 He's not going to be on the ballot in multiple states like 1002 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,120 Arizona and Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin. 1003 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,000 The secretaries of state are going to say, well, he's under 1004 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,520 investigation. We're not allowing his name on 1005 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,760 the ballot. And then look, are you the 1006 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,440 primary? All this here's here's the 1007 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,840 issue. Do you think that the bloodlust 1008 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,000 that these people have for somebody like Donald Trump, 1009 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,480 where they have now just turn the entire government against 1010 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,520 this guy, Do you think it's going to be satisfied because we 1011 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,600 got him in Georgia and we're going to just move on as a 1012 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,160 country and everything go back to normal? 1013 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,960 No, there's something like that. Energy goes somewhere after 1014 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:27,640 that. That's right. 1015 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,280 So where's it going? What's the plan? 1016 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,080 It's going to you and me. Yes. 1017 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,320 And it's going to you and me and you got to see that in an 1018 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,000 interesting way. And I and I think this actually 1019 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,880 shows a failure. I, I was going to get there, you 1020 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,600 know, I was going to get there. There's a. 1021 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,280 Train broadcaster right there, son. 1022 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,080 Look at this. The, the, the fact of the matter 1023 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,240 is, is that we have a group of people in this country that are 1024 00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:48,920 trying to say, look, I've been a Republican since 1971 and I 1025 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,120 believe in Rule of law and Donald Trump is bad for the 1026 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,920 Republic. And so therefore, whatever I say 1027 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,840 stands and these are the people that are actually the most 1028 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,640 dangerous. I get that the avowed leftists 1029 00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,520 are going to be leftists. I get that the activists are 1030 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,600 going to be activists. What I don't want to see is 1031 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,400 people who claim to have conservative values unable to 1032 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,240 open their freaking eyeballs up, look at the world and say things 1033 00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:10,000 are not operating fairly. The rules of engagement have 1034 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,560 changed and we must adapt in order to deal with this battle 1035 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,240 space or not be able to survive. And make no mistake about it, an 1036 00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:18,760 information war is a war. It's just not a shooting war. 1037 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,920 This is a war right now that we're involved in. 1038 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,360 It's a war for this country. And when I used to get up and go 1039 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:28,400 and sit in my my podcast RV in Arizona, my dad would say, look, 1040 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,200 go to the war, but come home and don't bring it with you. 1041 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,280 And it's really hard to leave the war behind, particularly 1042 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:35,880 when you have interactions like you just had. 1043 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,920 I'd love you to tell the story about going to the Rotary Club. 1044 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,080 Tell people specifically what Rotary Club it is and, and the 1045 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,040 interaction that you had and, and lay it out to me the way you 1046 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,680 did yesterday. Yesterday, I was seeing red on 1047 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,920 your behalf based on this story. And folks, if you're listening 1048 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,120 to it, I think you will also find this to be the case. 1049 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,960 This is a very frustrating story, but it is is 1050 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:55,640 representative of many things that we're seeing in this 1051 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,320 country right now. I was invited to speak at a 1052 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,120 Rotary Club here that were in Rotary. 1053 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,000 I live in Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach is just just north of 1054 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,720 that. And for the most part, let me 1055 00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:08,040 just qualify right away. Everybody was very nice and it 1056 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,280 was a it was a great setting. And then I'm grateful for the 1057 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,200 opportunity to speak. And I just went there as their 1058 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,160 speaker for their meeting to just talk about 15 minutes about 1059 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,560 my experience as a whistleblower. 1060 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,360 And they and they were gracious enough to welcome me in to do 1061 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,000 that. And, and they're not political, 1062 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:22,640 they're a community organization. 1063 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,400 So I went there and, and described my experience as a 1064 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,000 whistleblower and the, the fallout, the user patients that 1065 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,320 I experienced at the hands of the FBI and, and, and got into 1066 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,040 some of the problems as much as I could in about 15 minutes. 1067 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,560 And then got done and then had time for a couple questions. 1068 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:43,960 And there was a gentleman there who was very angry in his, his 1069 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,920 questioning was very clear that he was frustrated with, with my 1070 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,000 presence being there. And he asked me a number of 1071 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,200 questions and he sort of monopolized the questioning 1072 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:52,480 time. He just kept firing questions. 1073 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,920 And first he said that I was very clear that I had 1074 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,400 administrative problems, but I really should have just done 1075 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,400 what I was told to do. That was the problem. 1076 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:06,960 And that the, my objection to sending SWAT to a guy was, was 1077 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,960 wrong because he might possess A firearm and that that would 1078 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,760 necessitate the use of SWAT. And, and I responded to that 1079 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,120 question. I said, look, I did SWAT. 1080 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,040 We'd, we'd interviewed this guy a year and a half before. 1081 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,240 There'd been no contact. He pledged to be cooperative 1082 00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:21,800 with us. To me, it presented more of a 1083 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,160 risk for us to go to his house with that level of force because 1084 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,160 he pledged to be cooperative. And then he's reasonably 1085 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,400 concluded that maybe we've moved on. 1086 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,520 He's no longer a target and and we could get into a shooting 1087 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,600 like we had in Utah or something like the one of these other 1088 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,040 shootings that we've had. And he immediately just took 1089 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,080 that and default and just went to the next thing and said, 1090 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:42,880 well, you know, you don't have a security clearance anymore so 1091 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,360 you can't be an agent. And I responded. 1092 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,400 Dwell on that for a second. What what that was? 1093 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,040 This is like the the neener neener Boo Boo Yeah thing to. 1094 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,840 Yeah, yeah, you, you basically it's an appeal to authority 1095 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:59,080 saying you lost the the necessary tool to be a special 1096 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,000 agent. So your opinion on this matter, 1097 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,720 regardless of your experience or knowledge, doesn't matter. 1098 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,840 The obviously your opinion is no good because the higher 1099 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,880 authorities revoked your security clearance. 1100 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,080 And look, I had explained, look, they suspended my clearance for 1101 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,400 looking at the employee handbook, you know, to get after 1102 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,280 me for whistleblowing. And then they officially revoked 1103 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,000 it the day I testified at Congress. 1104 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,600 How convenient. And he didn't see anything wrong 1105 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,040 with that, which is the real problem. 1106 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,640 And yeah, and his follow up to that was you took money from 1107 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,480 Cash Patel and I said no. This is this is someone that's a 1108 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,680 Republican, by the way, people. Yeah, We, we. 1109 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,760 Learned that, and we learned that after 'cause you know the 1110 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,760 Internet. 84 years old. So here's The funny thing about 1111 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,480 this. If you are gonna go out and 1112 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,400 attack one of my friends, I'll just make this general warning 1113 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:42,840 to anybody. If you go attack one of my 1114 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,840 friends. And we know your physic. 1115 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,240 We just know your name, where you were at some point in time, 1116 00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:50,240 or where you might live in a a region and that you're old as 1117 00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:52,840 dirt, which is what Steve described him as to me. 1118 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,280 I will find out everything about you if I want to. 1119 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,760 This is what we do. We're we're literally trained at 1120 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,040 doing this. And I don't need any FBI 1121 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,080 resources to do so. I, you know, I went and found 1122 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,760 the picture of the guy's front door just 'cause I was curious. 1123 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:06,040 I'm like, what kind of house does this guy live in? 1124 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,480 Is he living rough? Is he suffering under this 1125 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:09,160 administration? No. 1126 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,120 He looks like he's living in a very manicured lawn. 1127 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,600 He's got three different vehicles, which I took a look 1128 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,040 at. And the end of the day, we can 1129 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,040 go out and find all kinds of things. 1130 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,880 You want to be an ass to to our friends who've stood up for 1131 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,000 America, like this is the real problem. 1132 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,280 This is the real threat to me. It's not the idea that some 1133 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,240 radical leftist is going to do radical lefty things. 1134 00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:27,440 We already know that they're unhinged. 1135 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,760 We're not listening to them. It's the people that are within 1136 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,320 theoretically the own movement of conservatives, lowercase C, 1137 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,360 people who are Republicans, who in theory would agree with me on 1138 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:36,960 most things. And we should probably vote most 1139 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,880 the same ways. If you were going to go out and 1140 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,720 attack Steve Friend because you think you're going to appeal to 1141 00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:44,960 the authority of the FBI, you're the problem. 1142 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,200 You and I both have a bunch of mutual contacts that are in that 1143 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,240 thing. They're like, we need to reform 1144 00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:51,560 the FBI. And it's like, yes, with fire, 1145 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,280 we need to burn it to the ground with the sacred fires that leave 1146 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,440 it cleansed from all of its its wrongdoing. 1147 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,480 So can we get to the big reveal here? 1148 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,920 Of course, this story gets even better. 1149 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:03,640 Of course. Please. 1150 00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:06,880 After we get done, you know, everybody's just kind of milling 1151 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,240 around and shake a few hands. And then I'm, I'm actually 1152 00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:11,760 getting ready to leave. And they say you have to meet 1153 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,440 this guy who is actually a retired FBI agent. 1154 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,000 And I said, OK. So I go over to meet him. 1155 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:22,000 It's the same guy. And he, he has a brief 1156 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,880 conversation with me where he says, you know, you can never be 1157 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,080 an agent again because your security clearance is revoked. 1158 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,920 And I said, I know I don't want to be because they tried to make 1159 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,440 me violate the oath that you took. 1160 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,960 And he said, well, what's your plan now? 1161 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,080 What do you, what can you do now? 1162 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,920 And I said, well, I've got some skill sets and, you know, I, I 1163 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,600 might have an opportunity to do some, some things in media and, 1164 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,160 and some other. And he cut me off because your, 1165 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:49,800 your shelf life is about an inch long. 1166 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,360 You're you're done, you're done with that. 1167 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,840 And he walked away from me. That is a man who worked for the 1168 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,840 agency and sees there's no higher calling to him. 1169 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,920 And, and and look, I mean, maybe back back in the day when J 1170 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:06,520 Edgar Hoover was like younger than you, that was that for for 1171 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:11,120 true, But it's very clearly not. And you're not recognizing that 1172 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,200 the agency has evolved or at least revealed itself because I 1173 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:15,360 contend it's always been this way. 1174 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,960 I think so too. And it's revealed itself to be a 1175 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:23,280 objective force for I'll and accept that fact, accept that 1176 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,200 you contributed that fact either knowingly or not, and be a part 1177 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,120 of the solution here as opposed to circling the wagons to defend 1178 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,840 the carcass of the FBI. Because that's how you draw your 1179 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,920 pension and have your three vehicles in Ormond Beach, which 1180 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,640 is a nice area in Florida. It turns out so Robert E Roth, 1181 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,760 tough guy Bob, who wants to go out there and tell my friend 1182 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,280 that he's done. I think you're going to find out 1183 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,560 that you're wrong. And the reason why is the FBI is 1184 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,240 always recruited probably from like the top 25 percentile that 1185 00:51:54,240 --> 00:51:59,120 it was like a, a 75% and above kind of rating to get in there. 1186 00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,320 So people are not dumb by any means, but that doesn't mean 1187 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,360 they're exceptional. And people like Steve Friend, 1188 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,240 I'll just say it because I know about Steve's thing. 1189 00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:08,280 We, we compared notes. This is why we get along. 1190 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,320 We did. We did kind of like a size up at 1191 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,800 one point in time. Steve Friend is exceptional. 1192 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,920 He's not just like A1 percenter, he's above that. 1193 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,920 He's far too exceptional to be in the FBI. 1194 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,520 And as some of the suspendables have proven that the 1195 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,800 capabilities that we are bringing are far more 1196 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,240 exceptional than most of our colleagues. 1197 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,680 There's a reason why when you're an original thinker, when you 1198 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,520 have somebody who has the ability to do critical thought, 1199 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,320 look in here and hold 2 conflicting ideas at the same 1200 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,160 time in your brain, you are not going to sit well in a federal 1201 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,160 agency that is simply trying to do what they are told in order 1202 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,200 to get their paycheck. And so guys like Bob Roth in 1203 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:41,960 Florida are going to have that problem. 1204 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:43,160 They're going to have the cognitive. 1205 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,720 I'm the good guy. I was always the good guy. 1206 00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:46,720 How do I know I was the good guy? 1207 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,520 Because I went to the Academy where they told me I was the 1208 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,200 good guy. I was elite by my own name. 1209 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,120 No one else said anything. It was just me and my own agency 1210 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,080 Tooting our own horn, telling us how premier we were. 1211 00:52:58,720 --> 00:53:00,800 You know, the most premier agencies in the world are not 1212 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,480 telling themselves how premier they are all the time. 1213 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,360 No, not at all. I mean they, they hurt 1214 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,240 themselves. Their shoulders are like really 1215 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,480 from stretching around, pat themselves in the back so much. 1216 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,840 But and, and this is this is important for your your audience 1217 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,720 and for your viewers. The caliber of the conversations 1218 00:53:15,720 --> 00:53:19,440 that are held on the Kyle Seraphin show are light years 1219 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:23,280 above intellectually the any conversation that I ever had in 1220 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,520 the FBI with anybody who was hired by the FBI. 1221 00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:27,760 The only thing that I would compare it to was with a task 1222 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,400 force officer who was smart enough to get out of dealing 1223 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,200 with the FBI and now does other things. 1224 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,960 So it's, I mean, while they might, might pull from a pool of 1225 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:41,080 applicants that's in that 75th percentile, there's a whole lot 1226 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:45,760 of smart people who don't know a lot and they, they've not really 1227 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,480 used their, their intellect to, to expand their, their horizons 1228 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,600 or to dig into anything beyond the surface level. 1229 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,320 And as a result of that, I think that the, the agency's 1230 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:59,200 performance has borne that out. But I would compliment the 1231 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,320 audience here because if you're keeping up with this 1232 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,680 conversation, you, you're too good for the FBI as well. 1233 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,400 And that's something and you and I never met while we work in the 1234 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:08,760 FBI. I'm going to have Ryan bring up 1235 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:13,280 topic #11 because I think this actually goes directly to what 1236 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,280 we have just been kind of alluding to this. 1237 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,160 Put your nose down, do what you're told, nose to the 1238 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,280 grindstone sort of attitude. This comes from the Daily 1239 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,480 Signal, but I actually found it also in the loop this morning. 1240 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,480 The loop was actually some of my show prep because then you were 1241 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,000 coming on and I wanted to see what I could do with it. 1242 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,160 Folks, if you're missing out on the loop, this is this what 1243 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,280 you're missing out on? Pro abortion attacks on pro 1244 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:36,320 lifers face little to no consequence from the DC 1245 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:37,920 authorities. Police say they're still 1246 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,760 investigating a violent assault on pro-life activists that took 1247 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,680 place outside of ADC Planned Parenthood clinic in late July. 1248 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,600 But a little bit closer, If you look at the numbers, it says 1249 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,840 that the DC authorities handle attacks on pro-life. 1250 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,200 Is it raising questions? It raises questions about the 1251 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,360 lack of consequences for the attackers and how safe it is for 1252 00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,040 those engaged in pro-life work in the nation's capital, which 1253 00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:01,080 is a leftist place. I was told that it was really, 1254 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,880 really, really hard for anybody to find people in the dark. 1255 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,840 And that's why we don't know who's been burning down crisis 1256 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,600 pregnancy centers. I think that was Merrick 1257 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,920 Garland, that the attorney general of the United States, 1258 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,360 AKA the general, the little toad that runs that agency. 1259 00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:19,080 Isn't that the guy who said it's really hard to do that, Steve? 1260 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:20,720 It's just hard to find people in the dark. 1261 00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:22,080 No one's ever solved a crime at night. 1262 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,240 No, I mean, it's just why we can't find the pipe bomber, you 1263 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,800 know, even though we have like Geo fence technology, we were 1264 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,200 able to find grandma who walked into the Capitol for 4 minutes 1265 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,680 and took a selfie. But certainly nobody who left 1266 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,000 WMD outside a facility that housed the vice president-elect 1267 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,480 for a significant portion of time. 1268 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,960 And and certainly nobody who vandalized or tried to commit 1269 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:48,440 arson against a crisis pregnancy center because, you know, night 1270 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,120 time. It's that's that's what they 1271 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:51,960 operate. I mean, look, the FBI doesn't 1272 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,920 use its its night vision for SWAT. 1273 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,280 So it would lend itself to be a legitimate push back and say, 1274 00:55:58,280 --> 00:55:59,840 look, we can't address it, can't see at night. 1275 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,520 And, you know, this is the same agency that's out there trying 1276 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,200 to help get tweets of Donald Trump's and get metadata on them 1277 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,200 to figure out whatever it is they're trying to pin on January 1278 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:09,640 6th. But they can't get the tweets 1279 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:13,000 from James Revenge that posted photographs of the vandalism 1280 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,840 that they got involved in when they were burning down crisis 1281 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,520 pregnancy centers in 2020 and 2021 in in the run up to the 1282 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,520 Dobbs decision. So there's that. 1283 00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:23,840 This is this is the two tiered system of justice people. 1284 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,400 It's one group trying to play by the rules. 1285 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,240 It's another group that says the rules don't matter. 1286 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,360 It only matters if you win. This is like the this is like 1287 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,880 the the interaction that you saw between Orlando Bloom and Johnny 1288 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,880 Depp in the original Pirates of the Caribbean. 1289 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,240 Remember, he said the only rules are what a man can do and what a 1290 00:56:37,240 --> 00:56:39,840 man can't do because he said, hey, that's not fair. 1291 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:41,200 Like you, you draw your sword on it. 1292 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,080 And he's like, pirate. The left is full of people. 1293 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,800 They love the idea of pirate. It's like we're going to use the 1294 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,240 rules when they make sense. We're going to hold the rules 1295 00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:50,280 against you when we can. That's one of Saul Alinsky's 1296 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,040 rules for radicals. Hold the other side to account 1297 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,680 for their own standards. General Pompey, it's the Roman 1298 00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,840 General Pompey do not, do not speak of the law to we who have 1299 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,560 swords. That's than principle. 1300 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,840 For a long time it goes even. Further, doesn't it that's. 1301 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,960 Exactly right. Mao is the power of the tip of a 1302 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,160 gun. Like it's, it's time immemorial 1303 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,800 that that concept. And I, I credit the people for 1304 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,680 trying to evolve past that thinking and being a 1305 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,200 sophisticated society that upholds civil rights. 1306 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,600 And it's not just like, hey, the people with the bigger muscles 1307 00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,480 are going to run things just because they can inflict 1308 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,160 violence on you. We tried to to move beyond that. 1309 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,280 But I think in our base nature and whether or not it's guys who 1310 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,480 can deadlift more or they just have more guns that that there's 1311 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:33,960 always going to be something that we can't avoid. 1312 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,440 That's just human nature. The the veil of civility is 1313 00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,840 very, very thin and you can see it really easily. 1314 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,840 They did it in the 70s. They had a garbage strike where 1315 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,200 the garbage collection guys just stopped collecting garbage for a 1316 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,360 week and it brought the city of New York to its knees. 1317 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,400 My father-in-law who is a communist and you know, like a 1318 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:56,120 workers Unite type guy, was 100% big fan of how that work. 1319 00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,320 He was like all you had to do was not collect garbage for a 1320 00:57:58,320 --> 00:57:59,200 week. He loves that. 1321 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,920 And unfortunately for the way that the people on the political 1322 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,480 left think right now, all the people collecting garbage that 1323 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:09,000 I've talked to, you know, they're pro Donald Trump guys 1324 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,880 because their lives were noticeably better. 1325 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,360 The cost of things were less, the fuel is less expensive. 1326 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,240 You know, they were able to afford things that they couldn't 1327 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,040 previously do. You can see videos all over 1328 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,000 TikTok and things like that. There are people that were like 1329 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,400 just making their thoughts and they're, they're blue collar 1330 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,760 people, blue collar people who work hard for a living. 1331 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,560 Even the ones in the unions, I don't like the union leadership 1332 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,200 seems to go blue, but the, the guys that are working on the on 1333 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,280 the front that are actually like, you know, putting calluses 1334 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,360 on their hands like grown-ups, they were not pleased with what 1335 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,880 has been happening. And you know that that veil of 1336 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,800 civility may get pulled back pretty quickly. 1337 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,600 It's like I said, everybody wants to do civil war stuff. 1338 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,720 Everybody wants to talk tough until civil war stuff starts 1339 00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,000 happening. We saw that with Carl 1340 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,080 Rittenhouse, how the minute that things got violent and somebody 1341 00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:50,920 decided to go like, you know what, I'm not about to get 1342 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,080 killed by people with a freaking skateboard because I have an 1343 00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:54,880 AR15 and I'm going to smoke 3 bad guys. 1344 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:59,520 And suddenly it was all pearls and legal system and rule of 1345 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,080 law. It's just so funny how they 1346 00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,200 pivot. Yeah, I mean, and, and look back 1347 00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:05,600 back to just like the regular folks. 1348 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,600 Like I think that's why you have this anthem that's taken off so 1349 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,040 much, this Oliver Anthony anthem. 1350 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:15,840 He's he represents 62 or maybe 75 million people, which is why 1351 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,760 you think you that the left goes after your Donald Trump. 1352 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,080 That's what he symbolizes to them. 1353 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,280 It's not him personally. I think that you obviously they 1354 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,600 have a lot of derangement against him personally because 1355 00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:28,280 he they felt like he violated his blood oath to their side. 1356 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,080 He was with them for so long and how dare you betray us, which is 1357 00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,360 kind of ironic because he's all about about, you know, it's all 1358 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,200 about loyalty in in his inner circles. 1359 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,640 But he's he betrayed their worldview, which is why they're 1360 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:43,080 going after him so hard. But I think he represents 75 1361 00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,440 million people who might have different interests across the 1362 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,280 board. You know, in, in this case with 1363 00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:53,080 Oliver, it's folk music, but it's that representative that 1364 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,640 we, it's the Let's Go brand. We know what you're doing. 1365 00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,960 We're not stupid, right? And we're not. 1366 00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,640 We're not going to just submit to your rule as a technocrat 1367 01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,880 because you know better than us. That's unacceptable to us. 1368 01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,520 Hopefully more people wake up to that because it's the time for 1369 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,200 comfort. Is is is growing really, really 1370 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,520 short? 100% quiet. 1371 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,360 Coney just said the the New York garbage crews were all run by 1372 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,200 the mob when they were doing this thing. 1373 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,000 And that's of course the case. The mob is actually the mob 1374 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,800 being the Mafia B. That was the fundamental 1375 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,320 exercise of we're tough, we have the guns, we can do whatever we 1376 01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:28,800 want. We don't play by the rules and 1377 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,040 we're willing to bring you to our knees. 1378 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,160 Ryan was just asking me, is there something like making 1379 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,200 noise in your background that we're he's like, what is 1380 01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:36,760 happening there? Is that your conference call? 1381 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,040 You're going to have to jump on here in a minute. 1382 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:40,880 Yeah, I think they're just chit chatting a little bit and the 1383 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,120 family just got home too. So I'll I'll I'll mute when I 1384 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:44,120 can. Oh, no worries. 1385 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:45,720 We're, I think we're about to wrap this thing up here. 1386 01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,920 I just wanted to say that this is that is the raw exercise of 1387 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:49,280 what power and authority looks like. 1388 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,520 It's the we're the biggest guys. We're the ones who can deadlift. 1389 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,640 We're the ones who are willing to drop all the moral, you know, 1390 01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,320 the, the veneer of civility and go after and do the things to 1391 01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,320 achieve our raw, you know, naked goals. 1392 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,440 Folks, if you want to know if you got some time over the 1393 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,960 weekend, go watch Starship Troopers and you'll see a very 1394 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,000 funny sort of education to this. It's done in a satirical way 1395 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,120 'cause they're sort of making fun of this sort of fascistic 1396 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,520 sort of Nazi society. But you'll hear them talking 1397 01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,240 about the only way that you exercise power is through 1398 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,360 violence. And we're we, we have not 1399 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,280 evolved that far from that. Watch Starship Troopers and then 1400 01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,800 go on YouTube and watch the critical drinker talk about 1401 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,120 Starship Troopers and you will realize how that movie was 1402 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,200 actually not just a cheesy movie. 1403 01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:30,960 It's it's actually very well done the way they do. 1404 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,840 It's almost like a parody. Yeah, I know they, it's a, it's 1405 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,000 a satirical piece in a lot of ways that teaches you some 1406 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,560 really important points about the way that not just human 1407 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,600 nature works, but also the way the government sort of interacts 1408 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,320 with it. And we're living in that time 1409 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:43,920 right now. The whole like, you know, do you 1410 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,840 want to know more? We're we're doing that, but 1411 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,360 they're only going to feed you the narrative and and that goes 1412 01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,320 doesn't matter whether you're talking about FBI shootings or 1413 01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:52,760 you're talking about abortion clinic bombings or you're 1414 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,240 talking about Donald Trump indictments. 1415 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:55,520 Like they're going to feed you a narrative. 1416 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:57,280 And they are out there. And it looks like even though we 1417 01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,240 have multiple sides, the controlled opposition is that 1418 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,520 they're still feeding you things that are within the acceptable 1419 01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,240 sort of Overton window of what we can talk about. 1420 01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,040 It's not the real story They. They know they had that ability. 1421 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,920 Look, I, I, I've talked about this a couple times. 1422 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:11,840 I don't know if I've done it on your show. 1423 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,640 Do you remember 2008 when Tina Fey did the Sarah Palin 1424 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:17,560 impression? Right? 1425 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,000 And it was, it was very well done. 1426 01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,280 I mean, she was very funny. There are still people who 1427 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,640 believe that Sarah Palin said I can see Russia from my house 1428 01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:28,080 because that's the power of media. 1429 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,040 That wasn't a deep fake. That was just somebody who 1430 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,320 dressed up. That was Saturday Night Live. 1431 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,360 That was literally a comedy routine that has become part of 1432 01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,960 the the lexicon of of assumption that that was really happening. 1433 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,480 Yep, Yep. And that's, that's the way that 1434 01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,440 you can influence and move an entire culture. 1435 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,240 And hopefully more people wake up and that there's more people 1436 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,520 that are talking about the the Richmond north of Richmond. 1437 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,840 That's it. I think I threw your book on 1438 01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:51,920 here. We'll have you do a little plug 1439 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,400 for that.
