Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, an
American patriot prepared to embrace the uncomfortable truth.
Because this program has no time for comforting lies.
Here is civil liberties enthusiasts, Second Amendment
defender and recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraphim.
Hello my friends. Welcome to the Kyle Serif and
Show Friday, August the 18th. It is the end of the week.
Thank God today is Friday. Actually, I really mean it that
way. My buddy Ryan Mata, who is on
the ones and twos back there spinning the musics and sending
the intros, bringing up all of our important topics is he's
ready for a weekend too. Are you?
Are you ready, Ryan? Big time, man, Big time.
It's been a long week, folks. Ryan has been on the road.
He's been running down around the Texas border.
He's been doing a bunch of independent reporting, making
connections happen. We've been trying to help out
our friend Carlos who was a whistle blower that way we had
on the podcast 2 weeks ago or so and you're still unmuted.
I just heard, I just heard that big sigh and it's been a long
week. He's exhausted.
I know I'm tired. We've been waiting here in the
Seraphin household on on kind of pins and needles hoping that it
is going to be baby time. No updates yet for you all.
And you will know that it is baby time because I will not
show up for a morning. I will show up and tell you that
I am not there, that it is a recorded show.
We have a couple of them in the bag that are ready for you.
In fact, a really, really good 1A discussion about fatherhood
and parenting and just the reflections on the state of this
country and the way that things have gone.
I think you'll really appreciate that with Mickey Willis, who did
the pandemic series. So when you see the Mickey
Willis thing, I'm going to be putting out a couple more
pieces. I told you it's coming up.
When that comes out, it means it's baby time here in the
Seraphin household. That being said, I want to say
thanks to our sponsors. Then I'm going to bring on our
guest D friend, because as you know, it's Friday and that's
friendly Friday. First of all, let me say thanks
to Catholic Vote. Here we go.
Kaboom, catholicvote.org. There's the front page.
Look at that. There's a person doing a rosary.
Those are those those assault rosaries I think that you could
put on the back of your AR15 and it makes you even more dangerous
to to the federal law enforcement that is out there
trying to infringe on your First Amendment civil liberties.
Just go ahead and put in your e-mail address, put in your zip
code, hit loop me in and you will get access to the loop,
which has a bunch of really good stuff.
We're actually going to talk about a couple of stories out of
the loop. I'm going to spring them on
Steve. This is my loop mug.
You see why I told him to give it to me in black because you
can't read this turquoise. It's it's cute, but it is not.
It is not virile, strong, or aggressive, which is what we
need on the Kyle Serafin show. I also want to say thanks to my
friends over at Patriot Coolers. I got to actually click through
this link, so stand by with me here.
There it is Patriot Coolers. This is a hard cooler and a
bottle of Rip Van Winkle. That's not so bad.
That could be a good start to your weekend.
If you don't have an outstanding piece of equipment that will
keep your gear cold, look into a Patriot cooler, a hard cooler.
This is an investment you make for many seasons.
These things can be strapped down to your ATV.
They're a lot like what you'd see in a Yeti.
They're roto molded. They will keep ice for days.
They have those like really good straps.
And unlike some of the other companies, you can actually pop
those straps off. You can hose the thing down, you
can put it through the cleaner. You can strap them back on.
They actually sell replacement straps.
You don't have to worry about, you know, re bolting something
on. It's a really good design and,
and it says Patriot right on the front there. 5% of their sales
go back and support our show and a percentage of their sales also
support American veterans who have mobility issues.
That is not nothing. So we do appreciate them.
Go ahead and look into their stuff there.
Use promo code Kyle, Kyle or you can click the link in the
description of the show, which is Patriot
coolers.com/discount/kyle. We're going to try to get them
to get that cleaner out, but Patriot coolers.com promo code
Kyle, Kyle gets you 10% off. You'll get free shipping over
10%. I'm sorry, over $50.
Today's one of the you can tell us Friday, isn't it?
And then let me just say this because we've got this sucker
up. We finally did it.
We've been working on the back end.
The DNS domain name issues. I don't know what that means,
but Garrett sent me some questions and we tried to
straight it out. Here it is, suspendables merch.
You've been waiting for it. The suspendables, the dash
suspendables.com will redirect you to the new Shopify store
that you can buy. Some of these fantastic shirts
make whistleblowers great again. Suspendable or die.
The Hamilton thing or the classic military PT style shirt
which says suspendables and a stenciling on the back.
I'm getting all those sent in to me right now.
I'm kind of an OD green guy. You guys always see me in a
black shirt, but I'm an OD green guy.
My girls always ask me what's your favorite color Dad and I
say it's green. And then they go like this and
they go, no, more like baby poop green.
I'm a I'm a military green kind of guy.
That's how I roll. All right, before we get any
further afield, let's bring a buddy Steve Friend on the
Friendly Friday segment. Here he is.
We're going to work on new cameras, but Steve is slowly
increasing his technology out on his side.
So you're going to get better and better audio, better and
better video. He calls himself to face the
franchise. I will let you guys be the
judge. You look like you got a little
bit like a 5:00 shadow going on right now.
Are you getting? No, I just dimmed the room.
I just dimmed the room. I got the the better, better
lighting here. So you can't accuse me of being
too pale. And then just for for clarity,
because I just watched that opening video for the first time
and saw Christopher Wray making sure that he knew your name.
So I have this today. Which came from from being in
front of Congress. It throws off your white
balance. There it is, Mr. Friend, maybe
we could do that in merch. I can just do this and we can
all have our own character T-shirts.
I'll tell you what I would like to see.
I'd like to see the suspendables badge with support your favorite
suspendable with operator initials on the inside of it.
I like it. Yeah, we can do that.
There's enough room for 2 letters.
Free the merch, man, Free the merch.
I think, I think Garrett's going to see a great uptick in in the
demand here coming up. That's right.
Yeah. No, I think so as well.
OK, so there's been this discussion.
First of all, people were getting on me.
They were like, hey, are you late for the show?
I think we're right on time. It feels like we're right on
time. So people were asking me, hey,
you know what's going on? And there's this, there was this
video that was making its rounds on Instagram.
It's had me in tears. I've watched it like 6 times
because I'm trying to glean all of the knowledge that's in it.
This guy basically condensed a lot of these right wing alpha
influencers, the Jocko Willix types, the, I don't know,
whoever is in his same sphere that are always telling you how
to live your life and how to be better and how to make more
money and all this. And so there's this, I don't
think you've seen this. I don't know if I said it to
you, but this is a, this is a video.
Ryan, did you were you able to strip that thing down?
Roger. OK, let's roll this.
This is especially for Truth Maximus in our live chat, who
said he got up at 3:45 this morning to kick ass to the gym.
And I can appreciate that this is what you're missing out on if
you're not doing all of the things.
So let's roll this influencer real and and let's figure out
how to straighten our lives out. Well, I follow a lot of Fitness
and Success Alpha influencers and I've condensed all their
advice into one easy to follow daily schedule.
You're welcome. 4:00 AM Wake up. Drink 28 ounces of water with
salt, magnesium and potassium. Don't break your fast. 415 Cold
plunge at -6° for 9 minutes while absorbing sunlight from a
sun that hasn't risen yet. 430 Meditate. 450 Sit on the edge of
the bed and stare at your shoes. 510 Run 11 miles. 530 Take 400
milligrams of caffeine and drive to the gym while screaming your
daily affirmation. 545 Lift heavy weights like our ancestors
did. 745 Take 40 grams of protein.
Break your fast. 8:00 AM Go to work, but make sure you stand at
your desk and get plenty of sunlight in your windowless
cubicle. 10 AM Start a drop shipping business on the side.
Make 40K noon Eat 2 grass fed rib eyes with grass fed butter
and grass fed honey with grass fed pineapple.
We're running 7 miles. Don't break your fast. 1:00 Back
to work. 115 Quit your job and start a podcast. 2:00 Quit your
podcast and start a side hustle. Make 40K Three o'clock Sell your
side hustle to Google for $2 billion.
Three 30 Use the 2 billion to buy Google and sell it to Apple
for $9 billion. Four o'clock use the 9 billion
to start another side hustle. Make 40K430 move to Austin, TX.
5:00 Buy crypto and start another podcast.
Make 40 K 6:00 Go home and spend time with your family.
Six O 5 sauna 630 Read Dostoyevsky all of it. 7:00
Start another podcast about the other podcast you started today.
This guy's a comedian, but you listen.
We're all over here just trying to start a podcast and make 40K
without breaking our fast. It's so spot on it, it really
is. It's an entire cottage industry
that sprung up with people. And I mean, I, I, I think
obviously there's people that benefit from it.
I've never really subscribed to that.
I'm always just kind of cut my own path and then do my own
thing. That works for me, you know, But
watching that, he, he briefly mentioned it.
So it's still a little bit of the Thunder, but like, I just
kept thinking, like, when are you going to be a dad and like
make people and then. For the family time, it's
between 6:00 and six O 5. That's what real men do, right?
Just podcast and then say hi to the other boys on their way to
the the gym. As long as you're not breaking
your fast and you're making 40K on every on every turn.
Correct, correct and and eating grass fed butter.
Grass fed butter and grass fed pineapple.
So I've done a couple of those things.
I did start a podcast. I did move outside of Austin,
TX. So I'm at least two of those.
I don't wake up and stare at my shoes in the morning.
I have other things going on usually.
That's a Goggins thing, yeah. Yeah, usually what I do is I, I
stare outside the window and I think is today the day when a
flash bang comes through the. Door you too.
I I, I have my my sniper nest set up where I have the, the I
see the, the, I see the only entranceway into my neighborhood
and I'm like, I I know when they're going to come because
the rat, that's the rat they're going to use, right?
And you're already jogging. Early in the morning, you're
running 11 miles. 12 that's obstac for me because I figure
if I leave my house at 5:45, I'll see them on the way in and
then I'll know that I have like 2 hours of freedom left before I
get back. And then at that point,
hopefully the search is already started and conducted.
Hopefully they haven't executed members of my family, but you
know, you never know with the FBI these days.
What are they up to? Laser kill list 3 or 4 now for
the last 10 days. I'm about to blow your mind.
So Ryan, my I literally entitled the beginning of this this topic
list killing spree. And so here, here's the deal.
We had somebody reach out, I think on on Twitter and was
like, you know, is there any reporting on this Tennessee
shooting anywhere other than this one article?
And, and, and my response was is like, yes, it's from me and it's
from my friends, it's from you, it's from Garrett, it's from our
guys that we have that are still in the agency that are doing
this stuff. So hopefully that's good enough
for you. He, he, I think the, the
suspendables USA tag went out there and, you know, that's our
joint account that we've been able to kind of access.
And so we put it out there and just said, look, we have
original reporting for people who are either there or in the
field office getting the memo that there was an agent involved
shooting. And we're up to four.
And there's one you haven't heard of yet.
In fact, it, it predates the others.
So we have this I, I, I literally called this killing
spree. Let's, let's pull up topic #1
Ryan. So this is going to be the, the
one that was in Henderson. What?
There we go. So Asian evolved shooting, it's
on Stanford St. or Sanford St. rather in Henderson, TN.
So we talked about this, we've got Tennessee, we've got Provo,
UT, we've got Albuquerque. That's all been in the last
about 8 days, maybe 9 days, but there actually was one on the
7th as well. So the one that happened in in
Tennessee took place and they used the donger.
If you could pull up the other pictures from from topic 3,
Ryan, I want to show the donger and I'm going to give Steve's a
chance to talk about it. That's actually the picture from
from Tennessee. This is a stock photo of what
the donger looks like. We've talked about it and people
ask me for it. So this is the donger and
there's one more picture of it right there.
That is the fully engaged lifted, I guess, fully erect
donger, which we used to call the Dong of justice in in the
Washington field office. But you could see is a battering
ram that it fixes to the front of a of a Lenco BearCat, which
is an armored vehicle that goes and it's a it's specifically
designed for SWAT operations and and urban law enforcement for,
you know, dangerous subjects and you can take it right through a
wall. Steve, tell me about some of the
training you guys did with this thing and and how serious people
thought it was. Well, when we first got it, we
were joking that it was made by the, you know, lowest bidder and
it's a government contract. So it was more likely to hit the
building and then the back end of the donger would go through
the chest of the driver of the BearCat as opposed to actually
penetrating through the structure.
But it's multi parts, so it has to be assembled.
It's not really convenient to do.
You can't drive for long distances obviously with it
because it's hard to navigate with it.
So you you have to rehearse assembling it close by and then
it's putting attaching it on the front and then it has to be done
quickly. So you can hop back into the
BearCat and then go hit the structure that you need to go
do. And you kind of look like this
quasi NASCAR pit stop team that that does its thing.
But I mean, it's just not going to be able to penetrate like a
really secured location. It's it's seeming, it's, it's
again, it's, it's law enforcement cosplay or it's
close quarter battle cosplay. And, and if it's necessary to
breach the facility, is that secure?
I, I have to question why you're sending a part time tactical
team that trains four days a month to go and and get it the
exception of like a hostage situation.
Why, why is this necessary? This is, I think it's you
touched on this. Unless you're like in Baltimore
or like East Saint Louis, outside is pretty secure in
America. You have time, you can just wait
and and then just wait for the bad guy to come outside and get
him. Like if you especially if you
think he has guns, why are you going to go into the building
where he has all the guns And you could present you have
introduced violence now or higher likelihood of violence.
And I was talking to my wife last night about it and I said,
like, if my, my son is going into first grade, but last year
he was in kindergarten and let's say like he was getting picked
on and, or, or even bullied by another kid.
If, if I said I'm going to handle this as opposed to
calling the teacher or telling my son to stand up for himself.
No, I'm going to, I'm going to use a higher threshold here.
I'm going to walk into the classroom and address this, this
kindergartner. And then this kid hits me in the
leg and then I haul off and punch him and break his orbital
socket. I can claim that was
self-defense by FBI standards for the way that they're
categorizing these shoots and they're saying, well, it's by
policy, it's a good shoot, deadly force.
It was necessary. Well, I introduced that when I
walked into the kindergarten classroom.
Right. Yeah.
So the story is, and I'm going to actually reach off screen
real quickly because I keep this, because I keep this handy
in nearby. This sits on my desk.
The story was is that the guy in Tennessee was carrying a 357
revolver, which is about like this.
And now many of you let me get it, send it in the screen.
Many of you are familiar with the revolver.
It has 6 rounds. Apparently he fired six of them.
Bad decision. I mean, that makes it a good
shoot, but we're talking about a man that's rolling around with
this. This is was made in the early
1980s. I think this was actually made
in 1981, if my memory serves. It's a 686-2 for those of you
who are Smith and Wesson vintage fans.
That's, it's a beautiful piece of equipment, but it is not
something that you want to go into a combat scenario with when
you're dealing with 12 armed men who are coming through the door
of your home or breaking through the windows of it in the glass
of it with the, with the donger that's sitting on the front of a
BearCat. So when a bunch of guys in an
armored vehicle come rolling in and, and we've mentioned this,
there are places in America that are pretty unsafe.
I've actually stood behind a BearCat and thought that this is
not enough in, in parts of West Baltimore where you look around
and you're like, the zombie apocalypse has already happened
in this city. And we lost.
We didn't, we didn't like, we were not successful in the
attempts and the zombies have taken over.
That's real. Like every other building looks
burned out. Every 3rd building looks like
it's been dropped on its own structure or there's just
remnants of it and people are doing God knows what in the dark
shadows at 3:45 in the morning as we go roll through.
So that's a real thing. And, and you may want to find
yourself in the comfort of an actual physical structure,
although those structures look pretty shady too.
That's not the case for most of America.
You know, that's not the case for when you drive around in
this country. You don't need to break into a
home or a house in order to get to safety.
Like we have law enforcement capabilities.
All law enforcement tactics these days are geared towards
slow, methodical, smart, reduce the threat, de escalate,
etcetera. Because we can, because we have
the technology. If you're sitting in a BearCat,
they can sit there and plink all day long.
We used to have this joke. My buddy was on the the WFO team
and Steve, you'll probably you'll, you'll just imagine this
if you were in your SWAT operation room and no one's ever
breathed the scenario. Imagine a drum fed 22 caliber
Ruger 10/22. OK, which I have that on a on a
tripod aimed at the Bearcats windshield and then just
someone's just squeezing off around like every, I don't know,
3 or 4 seconds and it just popping and hitting the glass
there. Think, I think how long could
you tie up an FBI SWAT team that was taking incoming fire from a
22 that holds 120 rounds of it? They're just.
Long enough that they would probably have HRT respond.
Right. They put guys on helicopters
from Virginia. They'd fly out there to come
deal with you because you were actively like, plinking.
Which just reminds me of we, we went through SWAT training.
One of the guys was saying, we're talking about the
selection process out of his field office.
And it was like multi day and really involved some of these
teams, man, like it's like week long.
They think it's like buds training for, for Navy Seals.
They, they, they get way over the top on it.
And he said that they were out in Oregon in the standoff for
like hours and hours. And finally one of the guys just
broke down and he goes, you know what?
This should be selection. You should just have to sit in a
van with a bunch of dudes for like 13 hours and see who breaks
and who doesn't and if you can handle that because that's it's
SWAT stands for sit, wait and talk for the most part.
Right. I used to call it the standard
warrants and arrest team. All right.
And, and it often is that too or the standard weapons attack
team, because they have all the standard weapons.
Like there's nothing more generic than an M4 and A and a
Glock 17 in, in any law enforcement category.
But, but we, we make a good point because what I really want
from my guys that are on SWAT, you know, the people in SWAT in
any Police Department or federal law enforcement.
I don't care who you are. I don't care if you can do buds
level fitness. I don't care if you can do log
PT. There is zero call for that in
anything you ever did. I know for a fact, because I've
seen 50 to 60, maybe, maybe more SWAT warrant surf.
There is no reason why you're infill is longer than about 50
yards, right? You're not carrying heavy packs
for long periods of time. You're not doing runs and
sprints and buddy carries and everything else.
You're literally rolling up over somebody's lawn that you
probably destroyed their mailbox 'cause you parked in their front
yard and you're breaking down their house for a few minutes
and you're having some high stress fun throwing flash bangs
into empty rooms or where the grandma sleeps.
And then at the end of that, then you go high 5 and you go
get Denny's. Yeah.
So I mean, it's, I mean, we used to have this kind of sadistic
senior team leader, and he was, I mean, sadistic to me because
I'm very cold all the time. And he would make us go out into
the cold weather and train and be like, you know, you have to
train in the cold because you have to know your equipment.
And I was just like, really, really cold.
Why wouldn't we just do the warrant the next day when it's
slightly warmer? It's not like this is an
imminent threat. Like why would we train in a
Blizzard when we would not really do that as from an
operational standpoint, I would much rather what if, what if
scenarios that are highly likely.
Like I, I presented what if we hit the house?
Obviously he's not going to come to the door because he might be
on the toilet at 6:00 in the morning.
Like if he's waking up, you know, like getting ready for
work. Like how are we going to address
that threat if we catch a guy with his pants around his ankles
and what are you going to stare at him and be like, finish up or
are you going to yank him off the toilet?
Like that to me is more likely than a lot of these scenarios
that we're looking into where it's like, you know, you and
your partner are approaching this scenario and it's a hostage
negotiation because the president's son had a fallout
and has now been kidnapped. And I mean, it's like, come on,
man. Like let's go with high
percentage situations. And I'm, I'm not even doing
8020. It's like 99 to 1% chances of
like, let's train like you fight.
Right, guy sleeping in his bed and he's naked and he's getting
up. How about dude sleeping in his
bed and he's got a six year old kid in the bed with him.
That's something we faced on a regular basis.
And I, and I love it. The guy on the toilet, because
now I want to put you to a decision for all your chips,
wipe or no wipe, SWAT guy, you know, and so and So what we need
to get down to. And, and this is the problem, I
think with a lot of policing, I think most law enforcement is
actually gone this route in many ways.
Local police departments have figured out that what they need
for these types of scenarios are not the most, you know, ass
kicking killers. They need people that make
really good decisions under high stress.
And that is what the the in theory, what's what training was
supposed to do is supposed to get people to levels of some
tiredness or some physical stress and then some, some
mental stress. And then can you make a good
decision under pressure? And is your instinct smart?
Is it intelligent? Is it the best for the public
instead of this like like you say, buds training this wannabe,
this wannabe operator thing? Yeah, I mean, it's it's
recognizing what are the most valuable assets in the situation
as opposed to what all the tools you have at your fingertips are.
I had one situation in my career where it was actually a vehicle
pursuit. Guy winds up turning over and
they hear banging and they believe that he's firing shots.
So it's basically a standoff of an overturned vehicle and a
subject in there. So like SWAT teams from around
the areas also around. We had like 45 guys with slung M
fours from multiple agencies and we had a simple command post and
then it's like my phone's ringing off the hook.
I'm the only FBI guy there. So like by default, they assume
that you're in charge of this command post.
I'm like, I'm not, I'm in jeans and AT shirt that that's like
not, not my jam, but I'm kind of running the show here.
And it's like, well, do we want to send the K9 unit in to like
RIP him out of this vehicle? Do we want to send a SWAT team
up to approach and then engage? In vehicle assault.
And I was like, we're in the middle of a cornfield and the
temperatures drop in. And I know we all want to get
home, but like, we have one, we have 360° of visibility on this
guy. He's going to have to come out
of this vehicle at some point and like, we'll just wait.
That that's our greatest asset is time and space.
I know you want to call in like a, you know, a Spectre gunship
to do a sortie on this guy, but it's just not going to be as
useful as time and waiting. And I mean, unfortunately we
wait for hours and then unfortunately then for those
guys basically lost patience and they sent in a team And I was
like, look, it's not my team, it's not my subject.
I can't really tell you not to do it.
I would advise against it. But they sent in the guys and he
wasn't armed for all that. But he was probably banging on
that car to try to get out, right?
I mean, that's. Yeah, I mean, he was like he
was, no, he was sitting there. He had like he was dealing with
some grief. He had a pass and his family was
in. He had like a 24 pack in the
vehicle. So he was just sitting there
down in beers and eventually he just ran a beer.
Yes, that's the most, that is the most accurate microcosm for
most stupidity doesn't mean there's not real danger, doesn't
mean that people don't pull weapons.
I'm just saying like you can be smarter.
You don't, you can wait them out, You're getting paid.
The guys that are on the locals are getting paid overtime.
The guys, they get paid for this anyway.
They can rotate in, they can tap people out.
And like I said, good decision making.
Trump's kill operator status, which they love to get.
And I don't mind when when law enforcement kills someone that
they're justified in killing and they need to.
There are times when that happens for sure.
We can see it. So I don't want to act like
we're some sort of like I'm not a yeah.
What do you you always say you're not a shrinking Violet.
You know, we're not, we're, we're not pacifists here that
are arguing that there is not a a place for use of force.
No. SWAT is a legitimate law
enforcement tool. It has its time and its place.
But the first word is special. It it requires special
circumstances, it shouldn't necessarily be for a standard
warrant operation. And and that's the problem with
with agencies like the FBI. They just view all warrants or
all arrests as being special because the people there didn't
join the FBI to actually be a case agent like you see on TV
and movies where they work their case and then put their
handcuffs on the bad guy. And then good guys win at the
end of the day. They're managing cases and
they're using the tools that the FBI tells them to use like chess
pieces. And they're sending the evidence
team to do evidence and surveillance team to do
surveillance and forensic accounts to do financial
analysis. And now some do the arrests,
we'll send the default arrest option, which is the SWAT team.
So now we are introducing a higher level or high and a
higher likelihood of violence in these arrests than is absolutely
necessary when you have all these other options.
Just make a phone call or interdict him like you did so
many times at gas stations. You you choose your tactic, you
choose your what's on the table as far as the responses of the
subject, 100% that they always say the bad guy gets a vote, but
you kind of can help shape what his vote looks like and what his
options are and going into somebody house.
So just another example before we get into this, this fourth
shooting that people are not aware of, which predates the
other ones. The my my buddy was on the SWAT
team in Sacramento and spent a bunch of time doing it and he
said they went into a door one time and they caught the guy in
the shower. Now that's a legitimate
question. That's a great tactic.
The other problem was is that even though the guy was naked in
the shower directly under his bed, which he dived for, and my
friend basically tackled him on the ground, he had a loaded AAR
15 underneath it. Because what happens when you're
in the shower and somebody breaks down your door and you
look and you're standing there naked and you're trying to clean
yourself to get your day started.
And suddenly there are people in your room with flashlights
yelling things that you don't understand and you're a drug
dealer and you think someone's come to rip your stash.
You're going for your gun. You're not waiting to find out
like we. We have this assumption.
There's always the idea. Well, we yelled FBI very loudly
and we were yelling search warrant.
After you threw the flash bang and.
After the guy has no idea what's going on, he's standing naked in
the shower. It's the bad decision theater
that we would always have. It's like, why would you go into
the place that the other person knows the best, knows where
their weapons are stashed the most, and you introduce the
possibility that you're going to have to make basically, are my
reactions faster than this guy? We're not trying to lure people
into an Old West shootout. A quick draw, like I'm guessing
we win, we being enforcement people who train.
You're going to probably win the the fair fight.
And that's, you know, that's good that the good guy gets to
go home. It's bad that you make somebody
have to make that decision when there's so many better options
and we have the time and we have the resources before we, we do.
Let me let me introduce you to something.
By the way, somebody said they really love the, the was it sit,
wait and talk that that was, that was a big hit in the chat.
So if you'll pull up topic #2 Ryan, I'm going to just flashes
on the screen here and I'll have Steve react to it.
So here you go, man. Shot by the FBI in Philadelphia,
dies from injuries. This is from August 7th, so this
was about 11 days ago. My buddy who is involved in a
headquarters unit that that's has visibility to this stuff, I
don't want to say too much more about it, call him out, but
because he's a good source of information, said there were 4
shootings, they had one bombing, 1 hazmat response, and that the
FBI also responded to two assault on federal officers by
the US Marshall Service in the last 10 days.
A very busy evidence recovery team, but this is the first one.
Has anyone heard about an FBI agent that was shot in
Philadelphia? Have.
You heard about this before, Steve?
Nope, haven't heard that. I've heard about Jack and
McGuire getting elevated out of that, that position.
That's right. So let me just read the the
story real quick. We'll keep reflecting on it says
a man has died days after he was shot by an FBI agent who was
serving warrants in a Philadelphia neighborhood.
Go shocked. Sources say that the 22 year old
Tahim Weeks cook as the man who was shot and later succumbed to
his injuries sustained in Friday's shooting on the 1700
block of West Venago. I don't know.
Bengo St. Officials say that the FBI
agents were serving a an arrest and search warrants on a person
in a nearby home and at some point the person that was shot,
later identified as Weeks, could cook, was shot by the agent.
We don't even know if this is the person that was supposed to
be in the the the warrants. Sounds like it, yeah.
It's possible now, you know, but you know, often times you'll see
people that are they, they slip out of their homes when the feds
show up or whatever and then they they try to return in
anyway. While the FBI has yet to release
any more publicly available statements, source says that it
may have been linked to a string of armed robberies at 711 stores
in the area. So that's good.
What what I really want is I want my federal law enforcement
agency handling the the armed robbery string that's going on
of seven elevens rather than letting the locals do it.
And if possible, they could serve the warrant at 0600 and
shoot somebody. Yeah, well, I mean, the Safe
Streets Task Force needs to get its wiretap going.
You know, they got to get that OSA def operation so they can
get unlimited funding. And then it might be like, you
know, three guys who were friends, but we're going to
label them as a gang so that when we arrested, we can claim
disruptions and talk about this great partnership that we have
with all of our local partners where we've now gone in and
killed a guy that probably didn't need to die and need to
be in prison. Our buddy Joe Pugs, who folks
can follow on Twitter and probably have.
If you've been in any of our Twitter spaces, you've probably
seen Joe's doing his thing. Joe was an FBI agent with me at
the Washington Field Office. He was there for exactly 2 years
-1 day and resigned on his own steam the day before his
probation ended because they were planning on trying to fire
him on that same day. His story is actually really
atrocious. It was atrocious at the time.
And the reason that he got in hot water with the FBI staff is
because he was not wearing a a tie with his jacket and dress
shirt and slacks. When he went to go see an
initial appearance. It may have been that he wasn't
wearing a jacket, but he was wearing a tie.
It's he was missing one critical article of clothing that a
female administrative agent was throwing out there.
And because of that, he was removed from the FBI service.
And he's a, he was a detective before and he's a detective
again. He's working for a, for a PD in
the, the Maryland area and he is working with what's called the
cross-border Task Force. This is ACR 2 criminal criminal
squad two out of Washington Field.
And they are pissed at him right now because he's not giving him
all the Intel on his own cases that he's running because
there's a criminal gang of people that are stealing
mufflers and catalytic converters in the greater
Washington, DC area. And his team is on it.
They've got trackers, they've got, you know, phone pings.
They've got all the tactical tools to be able to stop it.
And they're dealing with a local crime issue.
The FBI is trying to declare it to be a major counterterrorism
counterintelligence threat. And they have strangely tried to
link it to the Israelis, which is hilarious.
And they're mad at Joe because Joe won't give them all their
Intel in the case because they can't find the subjects that him
and his team are running around following.
So they're only reading about it after it gets done.
And they want to get that. They want to get that bus.
They want that lust for the bus, you know, pay off.
They want to get that, which I love by the way, they're they're
out there trying to gain gain stats off my buddy's work who
used. To be 100% that's, that's,
that's Agent Johnson and Agent Johnson, no relation.
They're going to come in in big time and adopt A case and take
it in a direction that it doesn't need to go in.
Like these guys are stealing mufflers.
They're not terrorists. And if they're stealing mufflers
to further terrorist activity like that, that seems like a
really bad plan. But obviously you would
apprehend them and stop them from doing that.
And then ergo, there would be no more funding to terrorism.
What? Why is the FBI trying to jump on
this? It's just again, trying to
justify their existence and take a case and claim stats off of it
and then take it away from the locals and then put it on TV and
claim that it was the greatest, well, the maybe the new greatest
Al Qaeda takedown, even though there was no link to al Qaeda.
When I was applying for the FBI, someone told me that your
personal statement and every single time you answered a
question during the phase two interview phase should have been
you. You asked me a question and then
I tell you how me, myself and I saved the world and why you
should hire me because of it. That's what you were supposed to
phrase your answers as. And that culture exists
throughout the FBI. It exists throughout, maybe
federal law enforcement in general, but it's all about
this. Like, how did we come in and
save the day and present ourselves as the superior?
You saw it at the Academy. I know you didn't the 954, the
promotion document that that's, that's basically what it is.
I mean, if I was told if you complete 1, you basically have
to take a shower after you do it because you were claiming
responsibility for anything that you might have had the the least
amount of involvement with. Like, and that was every time I
had a program manager come in, it was every 18 months.
I've been working on the res and somebody who had no experience
on an Indian Reservation would be a program manager and at
headquarters and they would call me up and they would ask me
about some case that I hadn't thought about for like 8 months
because it was sitting with the US Attorney's office.
Maybe the guy was already locked up.
They were negotiating A plea. I wasn't doing anything.
Up they and they didn't read the case file.
No, they had no idea and they were like, well, I have some
thoughts on this case. I'm like, because you just want
to put your name on something in this case because you think
something in this case sounds sexy to you that you can put on
your 954 for your promotion. That's right, yeah.
And so how does that culture exist?
Let's bring up topic #4 Ryan, if you want to throw this on the
screen here for Steve to see as well.
There we go. Can you pull up the.
There's actually a screenshot of it.
This is Jenna 626, also known as N708JH.
This is the FBI Gulfstream, the 5:50 that Chris Ray flies around
in. And if you have it, we'll pull
it up. But essentially, what we've got
is some movement coming right now.
Perfect. The movement by Chris Wray.
This is the, we're going to see in just a second here.
The past flights that he's been involved in and they use that
plane for a little bit. They actually flew to Henderson.
But the other thing that's really important is there, it is
what you guys can see there. If you scroll about halfway
down, if you're looking on tiny print, you won't be able to read
it. But he went to Adirondack
Regional Airport on Monday and looks like they just picked him
up and brought him back home. They're going to have to pick
him up from his from his vacay. He's doing a personal vacation
again on the taxpayer dollar in our private jet.
And of course, in order to go and pick him up, what they did
first was they flew to DC. Reagan.
He's continuing the pattern of flying out, having an aircraft
fly to him because it's easier for him to get his motorcade to
drive him a few minutes down to Reagan.
Then he goes and takes his jet set off to go do fun things like
go to his, go to his favorite place in the Adirondacks.
This is the same thing that Josh Halley was yelling at him about
saying I've never been there. I don't remember the name of the
place, but Chris Ray living like a Prince, not solving these
problems that happen in the FBI. The culture continues.
Oh, absolutely not. I mean, look, he says that
there's a record number of applicants to the FBI, so that
means that everything's good. Look, if you poison your
customers as a restaurateur and the customers say every time I
eat your food, I get food poisoning, I don't like your
restaurant. And you say, well, I have a
record number of people applying to be waiters, so I'm good.
That's the logic that Christopher Ray follows to
justify what's gone on with the FBI.
Where the public approval of it is now, it's actually crossing
party lines. It's like something like 35%
approval for the FBI. It's it's approaching Congress.
Which is, yeah, the historically terrible stuff.
If you pull up a topic #8 for me too, Ryan, there was a an
ongoing decision. I'll tell you this, the federal
courts are, are kind of a disaster area.
But what we do have is the 5th Circuit is one of the few that
is actually pushing back. They push back on the FBI.
They push back on the DOJ. They've pushed back about the
the mandates that were going on. If you guys saw the the federal
worker mandate for COVID vaccines, it was actually held
an injunction by the 5th Circuit and then it was affirmed by the
end bank review that happened. This is the the group Feds for
medical freedom and here's another one of them.
The White House strongly disagrees with the 5th Circuit
abortion pill ruling, which is to say that you can't send them
in the mail and they're going out there and they're claiming
that, you know, that the White House has this.
Like, why they would have any position on an abortion ruling
is beyond me. I'll let you reflect on this in
a second. Steve just says the Biden
administration. This comes from our friends at
Catholic Vote. By the way, if you're getting
the loop, you will get this. The Biden admin is strongly
disagrees with the federal appeals court Wednesday that
ended mail order abortion pills and place other restrictions on
abortion causing drugs. You know, like you can't order
your drugs through the mail. You have to go to a pharmacy
like everyone else does for everything else.
Why we're trying to make this thing out there, who knows?
It says we strongly disagree with today's ruling from the 5th
Circuit Court of Appeals in Alliance for Hippocratic
Medicine versus FDA because we actually have to go out and
fight our federal government's positions on trying to kill off
babies. It says it undermines the FDA
scientific independent judgement and reimposes onerous
restrictions on safe and effective medication abortion.
Steve, I'll let you reflect on that for a second here.
How in the world have we gotten? I was just was telling people on
Twitter today, you know, in the 80s, we didn't have any of this
stuff. We didn't have the Internet.
We had to pick up a, a home phone and you had a wired phone.
I showed, I showed my kids a movie where they, where there's
a girl, she was talking to her friends and she's like spinning
around, wrapping herself up in the phone like the the landline
and, and everyone knew that abortion was supposed to be
safe, legal and rare. That was sort of the piece on
it. You, you have this rewriting of
history right now. And then you have the freaking
White House fighting against court rulings.
I don't know help help the world make sense for me a little bit.
I don't know if you'll can help me make sense because it's
completely nonsensical. Let's talk Hippocratic Oath now.
Now it's oh so important when you can have these doctors that
say, hey, look, I know you have the disease right now and
there's some medicine that I could give you, but I'm not
going to give you that. And make sure after you recover
hopefully and don't have to go into an iron lung or die in a
hospital, that you get the vaccine for the exact illness
that you just had. Oh, and by the way, in keeping
with my Hippocratic Oath to do no harm, if your little boy
likes to play with Barbies, we should probably castrate him and
then put him on hormones that give him cancer because that's
the route we need to go. As opposed to maybe sitting him
down saying like, Hey, that's, you know, I know you might be
confused and, and let, let's, let's deal with your, your
mental issues because, you know, permanently scarring him
physically is, is the actual way to do it.
So Hippocratic Oath, I guess is negotiable now.
It, it's just whatever you perceive to be your, your, your,
your preferred end. And I don't take them seriously
at all. And I've lost basically all
respect for the medical industry.
I was just having a conversation with my sister who works in the
medical industry about it. And I, I ran out of prescription
for my asthma medication and she, she helped me get one and
she's like, why don't you have a practitioner?
And I was like, I haven't been the doctor in like 2 years
because I don't trust any of them at all.
I got Delta and the guy told me that he wouldn't give me
ivermectin and I should take hot and cold showers and make sure I
got the Pfizer vaccine when I recovered.
And I told him I was taking my asthma medication.
He said you're risking your children's lives by doing that.
And I said they live in the house with me and it's very
contagious. I I think we're good.
Right, yeah, I had COVID the first time around.
Whatever the alpha wave was, I'm sure I had the delta wave as
well. And you know, my kids survived.
My wife was pregnant when we had the first run in 2020.
And I thought that was always interesting.
Nothing happened to her, by the way.
I don't even think she lost. I don't think she even lost her
sense of smell. I was pretty tired carrying my
kids up and down the stairs. And that was the, the net
result. Let me, let me pivot over.
I think this was topic number. Is it topic #9?
Ryan. Yeah.
Parents don't matter. Also coming from our friends
over at Catholic Vote, it was something I thought was really
interesting. So this is the danger of it
because we, we have institutions that have lost the, the
credibility. We talked about it the other
day, Steve, on the on the show. I talked about it, how there's
this like idea that there's a Wellness to fascism pipeline
because people are looking around and going, hey, I don't
trust the medical industry. I don't trust the, the media.
I don't trust fill in the blank industry.
And the other side of the coin is what's going on in Virginia
right now. This is the Fairfax County
public schools. I used to live in Fairfax
County. This hits close to home.
They were a wild leftist group. And the the headline is, is
Virginia's biggest school district violates the new pro
parent rules that were pushed through under Glenn Younkin, who
ran on the sovereignty of parents to be able to to make
good decisions for their kids. So this school district, which
is the largest in the state, one of the largest in the country,
serves over 181,000 students, encompassing many of the
affluent suburbs of DC, which is like I said, where we used to
live, ranked top five wealthiest counties in the US with a median
household well into the six figures.
And despite the pro family and pro parents rights things that
have been going on in Virginia, the Fairfax County Public School
said that we have concluded in our detailed legal review and
determine that our current Fairfax County Public Schools
policies are consistent with state and federal anti
discrimination laws that are required by the new model
policies. And So what they're going to do
is they said they're going to support students, they're going
to work with family members, parents and caregivers that are
not mutually exclusive. They're going to support
transgender and gender expansive students.
And they are going to make sure that they have a safe,
supportive, welcoming and inclusive school environment.
They are going to they're going to not tell people about trans
pronouns. They are not going to stop boys
from entering the girls bathrooms and so on.
So. This is the thing the left does
really, really well. They go, you said what we're
doing is illegal, but we want to, so we're going to do it
anyway. We don't agree with what that
judge says, but we're not really into that judge.
So we're just going to do whatever we like.
And the people on the, on the political right tend to just go,
well, the judge said we can't do it, so now we have to stop.
Oh, the judge said we can't do this, so we are going to stand
down. What I'd love to see is some
people in the Republican side, maybe that's happening in
Florida, step up and have some freaking balls and do the thing
that they are elected to do. And if there is a conflict by
some federal judge, you know what, keep doing your thing and
then let him appeal to the Supreme Court and then maybe
still do your thing because this is supposed to be, as we covered
on a Twitter space on Wednesday, this is supposed to be a
Republican form of government that exists on federalism, which
is to say the biggest layer of the cake and the strongest
powers are supposed to be closest to the people it
represents. Are you getting that sense that
there's A at least a mood happening in Florida?
I'm on a different state so we have different feelings on.
There is in Florida, I mean, I think it was last week the
governor removed yet another one of these district attorneys from
Orlando who was just refusing to to enforce the law.
So there's, there's definitely an and there's an appetite for
it. I was pushing out this idea of
we, we have to go to a place of mutually assured destruction at
this point. It's where we're in an
irreconcilable difference scenario where one side says
whatever we say is either banned or required and you must be
assimilated into the Borg. There's resistance is futile.
And the other side is saying like, well, no, you do you and I
do me. And I have this letter from
mommy called the constitution that says you can't do that and
that should protect me. And it's we, it's, it really is
like it's an old and dusty document that's not going to do
anything when one side doesn't recognize its legitimacy and
just goes ahead and, and moves forward and does whatever they
want to do. So I think the only way to do
that is to meet force with force and say, look, it's the the
Israeli Palestinian analogy that I used.
Like we're not going to put our guns down because when you we
do, the Israel will be gone. We have to respond back with
equal force. And we can do it the right way,
but we have to respond. We can't just say, you know, I,
you know, I'm going to do it. You know, I'm going to do it.
And that's what Young can. Apparently they believe he's
done that. He says he's made a threat.
He's not going to follow through on it.
So that there needs to be some actual ramifications.
There needs to be criminal charges against people who are
violating his order. Now look, there's the that old
book of three felonies a day. Find something.
They're doing it to Donald Trump.
I mean, they charge the dude with like 41 felonies or
something like that in Georgia. Like just find something and
charge it and enforce it. And or if you're the governor,
send send the National Guard to that school district and be
like, no, no, we're not doing that.
I agree. I, I agree with you too.
And, and I think you make a good point because it's starting to
to have some rumblings on the social media circuit that I'm
seeing. People are saying if we're going
to have Donald Trump indicted under everything and we're going
to show what weaponization looks like, it's time to weaponize
everybody. We need a GS to dig into the
pockets and start charging leftist politicians everywhere.
Well, you have even. Ones that are not in your
district just. Correct.
You have, I mean, you have district attorneys who got
elected locally on the premise of I'm going to charge Donald
Trump with a crime, right? They said they've made no secret
about that. And, and I, I saw that there's
like a recent poll, the, the more they indict Donald Trump,
the, the lower the actual population believes anything's
going to happen, which to me is just baffling.
I was like, where do you think this train goes?
Like he's going to get convicted in Georgia.
He can't even be pardoned by the governor.
There's no out for him. He has to go to prison for five
years and then appeal to a board to be pardoned.
It's not a direct governor relationship there.
So he's going to prison or some sort of of incarceration.
He's not going to be on the ballot in multiple states like
Arizona and Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin.
The secretaries of state are going to say, well, he's under
investigation. We're not allowing his name on
the ballot. And then look, are you the
primary? All this here's here's the
issue. Do you think that the bloodlust
that these people have for somebody like Donald Trump,
where they have now just turn the entire government against
this guy, Do you think it's going to be satisfied because we
got him in Georgia and we're going to just move on as a
country and everything go back to normal?
No, there's something like that. Energy goes somewhere after
that. That's right.
So where's it going? What's the plan?
It's going to you and me. Yes.
And it's going to you and me and you got to see that in an
interesting way. And I and I think this actually
shows a failure. I, I was going to get there, you
know, I was going to get there. There's a.
Train broadcaster right there, son.
Look at this. The, the, the fact of the matter
is, is that we have a group of people in this country that are
trying to say, look, I've been a Republican since 1971 and I
believe in Rule of law and Donald Trump is bad for the
Republic. And so therefore, whatever I say
stands and these are the people that are actually the most
dangerous. I get that the avowed leftists
are going to be leftists. I get that the activists are
going to be activists. What I don't want to see is
people who claim to have conservative values unable to
open their freaking eyeballs up, look at the world and say things
are not operating fairly. The rules of engagement have
changed and we must adapt in order to deal with this battle
space or not be able to survive. And make no mistake about it, an
information war is a war. It's just not a shooting war.
This is a war right now that we're involved in.
It's a war for this country. And when I used to get up and go
and sit in my my podcast RV in Arizona, my dad would say, look,
go to the war, but come home and don't bring it with you.
And it's really hard to leave the war behind, particularly
when you have interactions like you just had.
I'd love you to tell the story about going to the Rotary Club.
Tell people specifically what Rotary Club it is and, and the
interaction that you had and, and lay it out to me the way you
did yesterday. Yesterday, I was seeing red on
your behalf based on this story. And folks, if you're listening
to it, I think you will also find this to be the case.
This is a very frustrating story, but it is is
representative of many things that we're seeing in this
country right now. I was invited to speak at a
Rotary Club here that were in Rotary.
I live in Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach is just just north of
that. And for the most part, let me
just qualify right away. Everybody was very nice and it
was a it was a great setting. And then I'm grateful for the
opportunity to speak. And I just went there as their
speaker for their meeting to just talk about 15 minutes about
my experience as a whistleblower.
And they and they were gracious enough to welcome me in to do
that. And, and they're not political,
they're a community organization.
So I went there and, and described my experience as a
whistleblower and the, the fallout, the user patients that
I experienced at the hands of the FBI and, and, and got into
some of the problems as much as I could in about 15 minutes.
And then got done and then had time for a couple questions.
And there was a gentleman there who was very angry in his, his
questioning was very clear that he was frustrated with, with my
presence being there. And he asked me a number of
questions and he sort of monopolized the questioning
time. He just kept firing questions.
And first he said that I was very clear that I had
administrative problems, but I really should have just done
what I was told to do. That was the problem.
And that the, my objection to sending SWAT to a guy was, was
wrong because he might possess A firearm and that that would
necessitate the use of SWAT. And, and I responded to that
question. I said, look, I did SWAT.
We'd, we'd interviewed this guy a year and a half before.
There'd been no contact. He pledged to be cooperative
with us. To me, it presented more of a
risk for us to go to his house with that level of force because
he pledged to be cooperative. And then he's reasonably
concluded that maybe we've moved on.
He's no longer a target and and we could get into a shooting
like we had in Utah or something like the one of these other
shootings that we've had. And he immediately just took
that and default and just went to the next thing and said,
well, you know, you don't have a security clearance anymore so
you can't be an agent. And I responded.
Dwell on that for a second. What what that was?
This is like the the neener neener Boo Boo Yeah thing to.
Yeah, yeah, you, you basically it's an appeal to authority
saying you lost the the necessary tool to be a special
agent. So your opinion on this matter,
regardless of your experience or knowledge, doesn't matter.
The obviously your opinion is no good because the higher
authorities revoked your security clearance.
And look, I had explained, look, they suspended my clearance for
looking at the employee handbook, you know, to get after
me for whistleblowing. And then they officially revoked
it the day I testified at Congress.
How convenient. And he didn't see anything wrong
with that, which is the real problem.
And yeah, and his follow up to that was you took money from
Cash Patel and I said no. This is this is someone that's a
Republican, by the way, people. Yeah, We, we.
Learned that, and we learned that after 'cause you know the
Internet. 84 years old. So here's The funny thing about
this. If you are gonna go out and
attack one of my friends, I'll just make this general warning
to anybody. If you go attack one of my
friends. And we know your physic.
We just know your name, where you were at some point in time,
or where you might live in a a region and that you're old as
dirt, which is what Steve described him as to me.
I will find out everything about you if I want to.
This is what we do. We're we're literally trained at
doing this. And I don't need any FBI
resources to do so. I, you know, I went and found
the picture of the guy's front door just 'cause I was curious.
I'm like, what kind of house does this guy live in?
Is he living rough? Is he suffering under this
administration? No.
He looks like he's living in a very manicured lawn.
He's got three different vehicles, which I took a look
at. And the end of the day, we can
go out and find all kinds of things.
You want to be an ass to to our friends who've stood up for
America, like this is the real problem.
This is the real threat to me. It's not the idea that some
radical leftist is going to do radical lefty things.
We already know that they're unhinged.
We're not listening to them. It's the people that are within
theoretically the own movement of conservatives, lowercase C,
people who are Republicans, who in theory would agree with me on
most things. And we should probably vote most
the same ways. If you were going to go out and
attack Steve Friend because you think you're going to appeal to
the authority of the FBI, you're the problem.
You and I both have a bunch of mutual contacts that are in that
thing. They're like, we need to reform
the FBI. And it's like, yes, with fire,
we need to burn it to the ground with the sacred fires that leave
it cleansed from all of its its wrongdoing.
So can we get to the big reveal here?
Of course, this story gets even better.
Of course. Please.
After we get done, you know, everybody's just kind of milling
around and shake a few hands. And then I'm, I'm actually
getting ready to leave. And they say you have to meet
this guy who is actually a retired FBI agent.
And I said, OK. So I go over to meet him.
It's the same guy. And he, he has a brief
conversation with me where he says, you know, you can never be
an agent again because your security clearance is revoked.
And I said, I know I don't want to be because they tried to make
me violate the oath that you took.
And he said, well, what's your plan now?
What do you, what can you do now?
And I said, well, I've got some skill sets and, you know, I, I
might have an opportunity to do some, some things in media and,
and some other. And he cut me off because your,
your shelf life is about an inch long.
You're you're done, you're done with that.
And he walked away from me. That is a man who worked for the
agency and sees there's no higher calling to him.
And, and and look, I mean, maybe back back in the day when J
Edgar Hoover was like younger than you, that was that for for
true, But it's very clearly not. And you're not recognizing that
the agency has evolved or at least revealed itself because I
contend it's always been this way.
I think so too. And it's revealed itself to be a
objective force for I'll and accept that fact, accept that
you contributed that fact either knowingly or not, and be a part
of the solution here as opposed to circling the wagons to defend
the carcass of the FBI. Because that's how you draw your
pension and have your three vehicles in Ormond Beach, which
is a nice area in Florida. It turns out so Robert E Roth,
tough guy Bob, who wants to go out there and tell my friend
that he's done. I think you're going to find out
that you're wrong. And the reason why is the FBI is
always recruited probably from like the top 25 percentile that
it was like a, a 75% and above kind of rating to get in there.
So people are not dumb by any means, but that doesn't mean
they're exceptional. And people like Steve Friend,
I'll just say it because I know about Steve's thing.
We, we compared notes. This is why we get along.
We did. We did kind of like a size up at
one point in time. Steve Friend is exceptional.
He's not just like A1 percenter, he's above that.
He's far too exceptional to be in the FBI.
And as some of the suspendables have proven that the
capabilities that we are bringing are far more
exceptional than most of our colleagues.
There's a reason why when you're an original thinker, when you
have somebody who has the ability to do critical thought,
look in here and hold 2 conflicting ideas at the same
time in your brain, you are not going to sit well in a federal
agency that is simply trying to do what they are told in order
to get their paycheck. And so guys like Bob Roth in
Florida are going to have that problem.
They're going to have the cognitive.
I'm the good guy. I was always the good guy.
How do I know I was the good guy?
Because I went to the Academy where they told me I was the
good guy. I was elite by my own name.
No one else said anything. It was just me and my own agency
Tooting our own horn, telling us how premier we were.
You know, the most premier agencies in the world are not
telling themselves how premier they are all the time.
No, not at all. I mean they, they hurt
themselves. Their shoulders are like really
from stretching around, pat themselves in the back so much.
But and, and this is this is important for your your audience
and for your viewers. The caliber of the conversations
that are held on the Kyle Seraphin show are light years
above intellectually the any conversation that I ever had in
the FBI with anybody who was hired by the FBI.
The only thing that I would compare it to was with a task
force officer who was smart enough to get out of dealing
with the FBI and now does other things.
So it's, I mean, while they might, might pull from a pool of
applicants that's in that 75th percentile, there's a whole lot
of smart people who don't know a lot and they, they've not really
used their, their intellect to, to expand their, their horizons
or to dig into anything beyond the surface level.
And as a result of that, I think that the, the agency's
performance has borne that out. But I would compliment the
audience here because if you're keeping up with this
conversation, you, you're too good for the FBI as well.
And that's something and you and I never met while we work in the
FBI. I'm going to have Ryan bring up
topic #11 because I think this actually goes directly to what
we have just been kind of alluding to this.
Put your nose down, do what you're told, nose to the
grindstone sort of attitude. This comes from the Daily
Signal, but I actually found it also in the loop this morning.
The loop was actually some of my show prep because then you were
coming on and I wanted to see what I could do with it.
Folks, if you're missing out on the loop, this is this what
you're missing out on? Pro abortion attacks on pro
lifers face little to no consequence from the DC
authorities. Police say they're still
investigating a violent assault on pro-life activists that took
place outside of ADC Planned Parenthood clinic in late July.
But a little bit closer, If you look at the numbers, it says
that the DC authorities handle attacks on pro-life.
Is it raising questions? It raises questions about the
lack of consequences for the attackers and how safe it is for
those engaged in pro-life work in the nation's capital, which
is a leftist place. I was told that it was really,
really, really hard for anybody to find people in the dark.
And that's why we don't know who's been burning down crisis
pregnancy centers. I think that was Merrick
Garland, that the attorney general of the United States,
AKA the general, the little toad that runs that agency.
Isn't that the guy who said it's really hard to do that, Steve?
It's just hard to find people in the dark.
No one's ever solved a crime at night.
No, I mean, it's just why we can't find the pipe bomber, you
know, even though we have like Geo fence technology, we were
able to find grandma who walked into the Capitol for 4 minutes
and took a selfie. But certainly nobody who left
WMD outside a facility that housed the vice president-elect
for a significant portion of time.
And and certainly nobody who vandalized or tried to commit
arson against a crisis pregnancy center because, you know, night
time. It's that's that's what they
operate. I mean, look, the FBI doesn't
use its its night vision for SWAT.
So it would lend itself to be a legitimate push back and say,
look, we can't address it, can't see at night.
And, you know, this is the same agency that's out there trying
to help get tweets of Donald Trump's and get metadata on them
to figure out whatever it is they're trying to pin on January
6th. But they can't get the tweets
from James Revenge that posted photographs of the vandalism
that they got involved in when they were burning down crisis
pregnancy centers in 2020 and 2021 in in the run up to the
Dobbs decision. So there's that.
This is this is the two tiered system of justice people.
It's one group trying to play by the rules.
It's another group that says the rules don't matter.
It only matters if you win. This is like the this is like
the the interaction that you saw between Orlando Bloom and Johnny
Depp in the original Pirates of the Caribbean.
Remember, he said the only rules are what a man can do and what a
man can't do because he said, hey, that's not fair.
Like you, you draw your sword on it.
And he's like, pirate. The left is full of people.
They love the idea of pirate. It's like we're going to use the
rules when they make sense. We're going to hold the rules
against you when we can. That's one of Saul Alinsky's
rules for radicals. Hold the other side to account
for their own standards. General Pompey, it's the Roman
General Pompey do not, do not speak of the law to we who have
swords. That's than principle.
For a long time it goes even. Further, doesn't it that's.
Exactly right. Mao is the power of the tip of a
gun. Like it's, it's time immemorial
that that concept. And I, I credit the people for
trying to evolve past that thinking and being a
sophisticated society that upholds civil rights.
And it's not just like, hey, the people with the bigger muscles
are going to run things just because they can inflict
violence on you. We tried to to move beyond that.
But I think in our base nature and whether or not it's guys who
can deadlift more or they just have more guns that that there's
always going to be something that we can't avoid.
That's just human nature. The the veil of civility is
very, very thin and you can see it really easily.
They did it in the 70s. They had a garbage strike where
the garbage collection guys just stopped collecting garbage for a
week and it brought the city of New York to its knees.
My father-in-law who is a communist and you know, like a
workers Unite type guy, was 100% big fan of how that work.
He was like all you had to do was not collect garbage for a
week. He loves that.
And unfortunately for the way that the people on the political
left think right now, all the people collecting garbage that
I've talked to, you know, they're pro Donald Trump guys
because their lives were noticeably better.
The cost of things were less, the fuel is less expensive.
You know, they were able to afford things that they couldn't
previously do. You can see videos all over
TikTok and things like that. There are people that were like
just making their thoughts and they're, they're blue collar
people, blue collar people who work hard for a living.
Even the ones in the unions, I don't like the union leadership
seems to go blue, but the, the guys that are working on the on
the front that are actually like, you know, putting calluses
on their hands like grown-ups, they were not pleased with what
has been happening. And you know that that veil of
civility may get pulled back pretty quickly.
It's like I said, everybody wants to do civil war stuff.
Everybody wants to talk tough until civil war stuff starts
happening. We saw that with Carl
Rittenhouse, how the minute that things got violent and somebody
decided to go like, you know what, I'm not about to get
killed by people with a freaking skateboard because I have an
AR15 and I'm going to smoke 3 bad guys.
And suddenly it was all pearls and legal system and rule of
law. It's just so funny how they
pivot. Yeah, I mean, and, and look back
back to just like the regular folks.
Like I think that's why you have this anthem that's taken off so
much, this Oliver Anthony anthem.
He's he represents 62 or maybe 75 million people, which is why
you think you that the left goes after your Donald Trump.
That's what he symbolizes to them.
It's not him personally. I think that you obviously they
have a lot of derangement against him personally because
he they felt like he violated his blood oath to their side.
He was with them for so long and how dare you betray us, which is
kind of ironic because he's all about about, you know, it's all
about loyalty in in his inner circles.
But he's he betrayed their worldview, which is why they're
going after him so hard. But I think he represents 75
million people who might have different interests across the
board. You know, in, in this case with
Oliver, it's folk music, but it's that representative that
we, it's the Let's Go brand. We know what you're doing.
We're not stupid, right? And we're not.
We're not going to just submit to your rule as a technocrat
because you know better than us. That's unacceptable to us.
Hopefully more people wake up to that because it's the time for
comfort. Is is is growing really, really
short? 100% quiet.
Coney just said the the New York garbage crews were all run by
the mob when they were doing this thing.
And that's of course the case. The mob is actually the mob
being the Mafia B. That was the fundamental
exercise of we're tough, we have the guns, we can do whatever we
want. We don't play by the rules and
we're willing to bring you to our knees.
Ryan was just asking me, is there something like making
noise in your background that we're he's like, what is
happening there? Is that your conference call?
You're going to have to jump on here in a minute.
Yeah, I think they're just chit chatting a little bit and the
family just got home too. So I'll I'll I'll mute when I
can. Oh, no worries.
We're, I think we're about to wrap this thing up here.
I just wanted to say that this is that is the raw exercise of
what power and authority looks like.
It's the we're the biggest guys. We're the ones who can deadlift.
We're the ones who are willing to drop all the moral, you know,
the, the veneer of civility and go after and do the things to
achieve our raw, you know, naked goals.
Folks, if you want to know if you got some time over the
weekend, go watch Starship Troopers and you'll see a very
funny sort of education to this. It's done in a satirical way
'cause they're sort of making fun of this sort of fascistic
sort of Nazi society. But you'll hear them talking
about the only way that you exercise power is through
violence. And we're we, we have not
evolved that far from that. Watch Starship Troopers and then
go on YouTube and watch the critical drinker talk about
Starship Troopers and you will realize how that movie was
actually not just a cheesy movie.
It's it's actually very well done the way they do.
It's almost like a parody. Yeah, I know they, it's a, it's
a satirical piece in a lot of ways that teaches you some
really important points about the way that not just human
nature works, but also the way the government sort of interacts
with it. And we're living in that time
right now. The whole like, you know, do you
want to know more? We're we're doing that, but
they're only going to feed you the narrative and and that goes
doesn't matter whether you're talking about FBI shootings or
you're talking about abortion clinic bombings or you're
talking about Donald Trump indictments.
Like they're going to feed you a narrative.
And they are out there. And it looks like even though we
have multiple sides, the controlled opposition is that
they're still feeding you things that are within the acceptable
sort of Overton window of what we can talk about.
It's not the real story They. They know they had that ability.
Look, I, I, I've talked about this a couple times.
I don't know if I've done it on your show.
Do you remember 2008 when Tina Fey did the Sarah Palin
impression? Right?
And it was, it was very well done.
I mean, she was very funny. There are still people who
believe that Sarah Palin said I can see Russia from my house
because that's the power of media.
That wasn't a deep fake. That was just somebody who
dressed up. That was Saturday Night Live.
That was literally a comedy routine that has become part of
the the lexicon of of assumption that that was really happening.
Yep, Yep. And that's, that's the way that
you can influence and move an entire culture.
And hopefully more people wake up and that there's more people
that are talking about the the Richmond north of Richmond.
That's it. I think I threw your book on
here. We'll have you do a little plug
for that. I'm gonna let you escape here.
Topic 14. If you have in front of you
Ryan, we can pull up Steve books.
We'll let him tell people where you can follow.
If you're not following Steve Friend, what are you doing with
your life? Follow Steve Friend at real
Steve Friend on Twitter. Tell him about your your book
sales. Any any updates on that?
Any signings coming up? Yeah, I've got, I'm going to be
going up to mostly in Florida, be in Orlando and then Pinellas
County later on. I contacted the warehouse.
They are out of books. So it's everything's back with
Amazon. They might be coming back for
1/3 order, especially as we come up on Christmas time.
There might be a paperback order as well.
So I think everything's going really well.
True blue, my journey from beat cop to suspended FBI
whistleblower. And you can find out all about
how bad the FBI is in greater detail than you will.
And when I get 45 seconds to talk to Jesse Waters?
That's it too. I've been out for just over what
about 75 days right now. So doing a gangbusters job,
selling it way to go way to write the book.
Way to sit down and put your, your pen to paper or your your
fingers to a keyboard and get that out for people.
It was I, I had the opportunity in it and I was like, this is
not my opportunity. And you were the man for that
occasion. So I'm really glad you wrote a
book and got it done. And folks, you can go find that.
The link is going to be in our show description.
