Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and
American patriot. Prepare to embrace the
uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for
comforting lies. Here is civil liberties
enthusiast, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI
agent Kyle Seraphin. Well, hello my friends and good
morning. It is Wednesday, October the
1st, and it is shut down Wednesday.
The government is over. It's done.
It's all it's all stopped but the crying at this point.
Except that's not really how it works.
I made a little joke this morning on social media that
obviously I wasn't going to be able to do a podcast because the
world is no longer functioning is our government had a
shutdown. First it was looming and now it
has been completed. And so the imminent shutdown has
taken place. And all of you woke up this
morning with the power on at your houses and the trash
collectors picking up garbage and everybody doing the thing
that they normally do. There's going to be some less
traffic when you guys decide to drive into Washington, DC.
And that's like this much of the country and the rest of you are
going to experience your day like normal.
You won't even experience any change whatsoever.
And even my friends in the federal government, if you guys
have a essential job, you're going to work.
And guess what? Tomorrow's payday and you're
going to get paid. You're going to get paid your
regular salary. And the next payday, you'll
still get paid. You'll get a partial pay.
Yeah. Now, I did recognize that in
honor of government shutdown Wednesday, friends over at
Rumble changed something. So the settings didn't work out.
And so many of you are just now trickling in for our live show
because we didn't appear as a listed program for the morning.
I don't know why that is, and neither do you.
I'm sure it's totally accidental.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they don't
like what we're doing over here. But we're going to carry on
anyway. The program is going to cover
shut down and why it's Trump's fault and why Trump is really
bad. And all of the things that I
found fun in the media, they went deep into the archives.
They found out not only is Trump responsible for the government
shutting down and being a troll and being a meanie to Hakeem
Jeffries and Schumer and others, just like we saw yesterday, but
he's also responsible for weather and flooding and he's
also responsible for people who built hospitals where it could
flood. I kid you not, That is a legit
story right now. And because I've decided that I
just enjoy sort of the torture of mainstream media
personalities and TV presenters from Cbsi found another good
Scott McFarlane clip. You know, Scott McFarlane, he
likes to talk like this. He has that thing.
He's got really long arms, like strangely long arms and kind of
gangly fingers. I bet he would have been a good
piano player. Instead, what he does is play
the propaganda organ. And he's very upset because we
got rid of a government watchdog group that all of you know has
done so much good work that the government continues to be
exactly as it was before. The watchdog group.
So funded or unfunded, somehow investigating yourself doesn't
actually do anything. James Comedy's indictment is a
threat to free speech. And you guys are going to be
shocked to find out that the highly capable, super competent
new FBI director leaked things to his buddy.
And we now have some breaking exclusive information about the
January 5th, January 6th pipe bomber unveiled UN uncovered by
none other than the great Julie Kelly.
I'm being very facetious right now, so we're going to get into
all that. All right, So we've got a bunch
of stuff to cover, some fun things, some source
documentation that was released. Before we get into any of that,
since we're talking about government shutdowns and the
inadequacy of our federal system, why don't we talk about
my friends over at Cove Pure? Yes, water is one of the
essential functions that we see from our local governments, and
they can't even get that part right half the time.
How many of you people are drinking poison out of the tap?
I know that in our area, it tastes like sulfur.
It tastes like someone boiled broccoli in it.
There are places I've lived that have had significant amounts of
arsenic, and depending on where you live, you might find that
there's lead, heavy metals. There could also be
pharmaceuticals and fluorides and all kinds of other crazy
things, metals and toxins and nastiness coming straight out of
your tap. That's why my kids are drinking
out of a Cove Pure machine and they go to bed at night.
We've set this up in their bathroom so they can have
unlimited access at kid height. They just push the button and
they can fill up their cups or their water bottles and they can
get it cold or they could get it hot.
If they were getting wild, I don't know why they would get
hot water, but maybe when it gets chilly out they'll do that.
They can make their own teas. It's a really nice system.
And that's mostly because we don't trust government here in
this house. That's a standard thing.
Check out the folks over at Cove Pure.
It's Cove pure.com slash Kyle Cove pure.com/kyle.
You're going to save $200 right now while supplies last on their
machines. They are less expensive than the
just sort of passive Berkey drip that we have downstairs.
So that's kind of cool. It gives you a really nice
looking machine that does all kinds of cool stuff, like gives
you specific amounts of water. It gives you the temperature
that you like. You can actually adjust it for
hot or cold. You can get it tap water or you
know, lukewarm, whatever if you want as well.
And then the last thing is the health benefits.
You know, it's an obvious fix to removing contaminants.
It's going to get rid of lead and PFAS and pharmaceuticals,
you name it. It's actually very easy to set
up. It took me less time than the
passive system that I had to pump and prime and do all this
other kind of stuff. Literally just put it in, push
buttons and then wait for it to do its thing.
There's no plumbing, there's no drilling.
You just plug it into the countertop, set the temperature
you want, and then push a button and you get water that tastes
like water. Shocker.
You guys can take back control of your family's health.
You can drink water the way it was meant to be drunk, which is
from Cove pure.com slash Kyle. And I'll give you one last
little pro tip on this. If you are a Patriot cooler
owner and many of you are, they all fit under there.
The 40 oz. We checked the major, it fits
the 30 oz and then obviously all the smaller ones do as well.
So it works really well with other stuff that we we sell here
or we advertise for. Check out my friends at Cove
Pier. There is a link in the show
description. All right, let's get into
shutdown Wednesday today it's my I'm feeling sort of
unnecessarily happy because of this and you'll see why it's the
shutdown on Wednesday. Yeah.
OK, so here it is Look, this is the graphic.
Everybody got a cool graphic closed for business or shattered
government. The government shuts down after
Trump and Congress failed to reach a deal.
It's almost like the people who write these stories don't know
anything about how our government works.
Trump has nothing to do with this.
Whether they want to plan it on him or not, Whether or not he's
going to have meetings with Hakeem Jeffries and be a big
meanie head, it doesn't matter. Like we can go and read the
Constitution and see who's responsible for a budget.
I don't know why we think the president is responsible.
I don't know why we act like the president is supposed to go out
there and pitch the budget. That's the way they do it, but
that's not what's supposed to happen.
And by the way, didn't we have a dude telling us there was this
one dude Smithers something or other Smithers.
He was working for Mr. Burns and he said that we were going to
have no more short term funding. We were going to get single
issue, one line item or one particular department funded at
time. Isn't that what was supposed to
happen? What was that guy's name?
He's like he has some kind of position of power in the GOP.
Oh, it's the speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
Here's November 2023 Mike Johnson.
Not the same as today's Mike Johnson.
Committed to never being in this situation again.
I'm done with short term CRS. We are we're resolved.
So what that means is you're going to see in the beginning of
this next year we'll be walking and chewing gum at the same
time. We're going to get the
appropriations process running on time as it's supposed to be
under law. The Budget Control Act of 1974
has very specific provisions in there on how this is to be done.
Congress hasn't done that for as long as we can remember, but
we're going to get back to that because that's good stewardship.
The American people deserve it and the debt situation we find
ourselves in necessitates that. So, but overall with the, with
the CR, as, as our leader just noted, we have, we have broken
the Christmas Omni and I have no intention of going back to that
terrible tradition. So there won't be a Christmas
omnibus. If somebody asked me in the
hallway a little while ago, will there be many buses?
I don't, we don't want any buses.
We're not going to do any buses. OK, We'll, we'll deal with that
in the lame duck and I'm going to hope, I'm going to plead, I'm
going to urge the Senate to do their job as leader.
Scalise noted. They have not done that.
This is Chuck Schumer's fault. It is not the House Republicans
that we're in the position where we have to have a resolution to
continue funding the government at the end of the fiscal year.
We did our work. We passed 12 appropriations
bills through the committee process in record time.
We put them on the floor. 70. Almost 73% of federal funding is
has been passed through the House.
We send it all over to the Senate and, and they've done
nothing that did not one bill and they would not negotiate
with us on the top line. So here we are.
We loathe CRS as much as anyone, but this is the situation that
the Senate Democrat leadership put us in.
It would be political malpractice to shut the
government down. I think everyone understands
that. And so we we hope that this will
get done quickly and we get everybody back home to their
districts to work into the campaign trail.
This was the conservative play call.
We don't normally like what's called a continued resolution of
CR, but in this case it makes sense because if we push it into
the first quarter of next year, then we have a Republican
controlled Congress and President Donald J Trump back in
the White House. We'll be able to have more say
over the funding decisions for 2025.
Now, that would have been an easier thing to do.
But then we had circumstances outside of our control.
We had these emergencies that are required.
So we had, as you know, a record hurricane season.
We had Helene and Milton and they just did massive
destruction across our red states, frankly in the Southeast
and the eastern side of the country.
And then we've had farmers who are in jeopardy of permanently
going under. They've had three lost years in
a row because of Bidenomics and inflation and other
circumstances outside of their control.
And so when you cobble those two things together, there's a
desperate need for that aid. And that's what adds another 100
plus billion dollars to the bill and.
Listen, it's not our fault. There was weather and there was
another guy and we weren't in charge.
And even though we weren't going to do it, now we're going to do
it. And it's actually the fiscally
conservative play to spend $100 billion more money because
people need money. And you know, we have money to
write into it. We're going to take your money
and give it back to the other people with the money.
Smithers is gross. I mean, is this guy ever like,
did any of them ever just get the the sense that they're going
to be held accountable for their words?
No, I love a government shutdown.
I love it because you all realize the government does
almost nothing for you except infringe on your liberties,
spend all your money, do all those crazy things.
Remember what was Joy Reid saying on yesterday's program?
We played a little clip and she was like, these people want to
go back to when there was no income tax.
They want to go back to when, like, you could just run a
business with no regulations and you could just give all your
money when you died to your kids.
Like, how terrible is that? Sounds awesome.
Sounds like a time when the government wouldn't have its
hand in my pocket before I can reach in there myself.
But remember, government shutdown.
The Republicans are missing a golden opportunity in my
opinion. OK, this is guys, this.
I'm not a Republican and I'm not a Democrat.
And I I generally don't care who wins because I think they're the
same. But how dumb are you not to
claim this and be like, yeah, guess what?
We shut down the government. We're going to use this
opportunity to remind Americans that the government doesn't
actually do all that much for them, except they can't do that
because they're all part of the same game.
And the game is we have to act like what we're doing is so
critical and necessary. And at any moment, if you fail
to recognize that we're doing this thing for you, you might
just throw us out on our asses and we may not have the power of
the federal government. This country was not set up to
be run out of Washington, DC on purpose.
It was meant to be run from your state houses.
In fact, your state houses were supposed to have a significant
amount of play and authority over what the federal government
does. And we we should have two
amendments that actually ensure that.
And I wonder if any of these people actually have read the
damn Constitution and more importantly, have they read the
Bill of Rights? It's not actually that hard.
It's been around for hundreds of years at this point.
Let me just read you what CNN wants us to know about this
government shutdown. Where do they stand?
The government has shut down the federal government shutdown at
midnight. Well, does that mean that people
didn't go to work? No.
Does it mean that the things that happened that are essential
functions of a government, did they stop?
No, Is there are the national parks all closed?
No, not all of them. OK, got it.
OK, so they failed to reach a deal on the funding packages.
Republicans, remember how you frame it.
Republicans needed seven Democrats in the in the Senate
to join them in order to pass a spending bill.
That sounds like 7 Democrats are deficient.
And if they really cared about this and they really wanted
government funded, wouldn't they say hey a holes, work with the
majority and get it done? No, they do not do that.
What's affected? Every government shutdown
differs. Why?
Why does it differ? Why don't we just shut it all
down and just experience it? It would be the same.
But typically, functions that are critical to protect lives
and property and deemed essential will remain open.
Previous shutdowns have seen cancelled immigration hearings
and delayed federal lending to home buyers and small
businesses. Why in the world is the federal
government involved in home buying?
Oh, it shouldn't be. Why is it involved in funding
small businesses? Oh, it shouldn't be.
There's a whole bunch of these things that we could just cut
out writ large like a cancer. Will they do that?
No, because they want to be able to control you.
How? The government shutdown may
impact you from CNN staff. the US federal government shut down.
It could significantly disrupt travel.
All the ATC people have to show up to work.
So do the TSA, so does the FBI, so does the DEA, so does the
ATF, so does the DOJ. So do all the the functions that
you think are supposed to be there.
And by the way, they're going to get paid.
You know, you get paid in arrears, right?
Like you do 2 weeks and then you get paid for the week, the two
weeks prior to that. So they're still going to catch
a paycheck for the next, I don't know, 2 pay periods.
All right. Typically functions that are
critical to protect lives and property are deemed essential
and remain open. The real question of every
single federal government shutdown should be why is it
that our federal government at the enormous amount of money
that we spend and the continuing amount of debt that we incur,
why are there non essential functions that are part of it?
Why? Can anyone explain it to me?
Why is every single person at the FBI considered essential
when I used to work there and go hey I know for a fact that I can
do my job without you because I do it without you everyday.
I don't even know what the hell you people do.
There was this ongoing joke, the people that live in the what's
called the mail room. Many corporations, many
government agencies have this. They have a room where mail
comes in. But in reality it was like 3
black ladies and one black man and it's not relevant of their
race. But that's who was there.
That's who was working in that office in the Washington field
office. And I called it the nail room
because there was this old guy who kind of reminded me of like
an Al Sharpton type character. He just kind of sat there and
riffed with these ladies who were younger, useless, very long
fingernails, and they would be painting their nails anytime
that I ever walked up there. And I walked up there dozens of
times over a period of years, dozens of times.
They were always doing the same thing, the nail room, totally
useless. They still get to show up to
work. For some reason.
They're considered essential. Nobody knows why.
In any case, I relish a government shutdown because all
you get to see is when they, quote UN quote, stop funding it.
Almost none of you are going to experience anything.
That doesn't mean there's not going to be fear porn.
That doesn't mean that Caitlin Collins is not going to try to
jam up Smithers. Here's Smithers doing what
Smithers does, kind of simpering on a leftist news station.
Make that first point at the White House yesterday after the
meeting y'all had with the president and with Chuck Schumer
and Hakeem Jeffries. Well, people, as you know,
people who are here in the United States legally have never
been eligible for the Obamacare subsidies, for Medicare, for
Medicaid. So what exactly are you saying
that they're trying to do when you talk about?
Giving free health care. I'm so glad you asked.
OK, so when we passed the one big beautiful bill, the working
families tax cut, we had Medicaid reforms in the bill.
You and I talked about it on the air.
What we did was to eliminate fraud, waste and abuse.
There were a lot of people on the program who were enrolled in
the program who were never eligible to be there.
Medicaid is intended for eligible U.S. citizens, not
illegal aliens, not also U.S. citizens who are able bodied
workers like young men. So we, we passed the law, This
president signed it into law. Democrats voted against it, of
course. And, and it's been wildly
successful. The CBO, the Congressional
Budget Office, which is the neutral arbiter of all these
things. I released a report a few weeks
ago, earlier this month, and they said, you know what, the
bill has had its intended purpose.
Premiums are coming down. Listen, because 2.3 million
ineligible enrollees had been kicked off of Medicaid, which
helps to save the program, prop it up and and $185 billion has
been saved already so. Basically what you did was
narrow the eligibility for certain people to get access to
the the ACA subsidies. What they want to do is undo the
changes that that Republicans made in that.
But basically, wouldn't that only affect people who do have
legal status, people who are refugee seekers here in the
United States, asylum seekers? Here those are two totally
different issues. Listen, what we did was we fixed
the glitch. What if we fixed the entire
glitch and said the federal government has nothing to do
with healthcare and that's why it shouldn't cost?
I just saw a post yesterday that was over on social media that
made me laugh. It was a guy, he's an actor and
he said I needed to get an X-ray and so I asked what it would
cost me out of pocket and the cost was $390.00 because I have
health insurance. And then I asked them what is
the self pay cost and if you have no insurance, the cost is
$60.00. Can we just think about that for
a moment Because the federal government is part of the reason
why that exists. If there is a possibility to
grab money, then that's what these healthcare companies do.
Listen, I straight worked for a group, it was called the Kadian
Ambulance Service. That's not the most prestigious
job that I've ever held, but I worked for a Kadian Ambulance
Service and the entire business model as I could understand it
as a guy who was out there working in the field was that
they build the federal government over $1000 an hour.
For my time as a paramedic transporting fat sick people.
I'm just going to be totally blatant with you.
The people that are using our healthcare system at a very high
level overwhelmingly are very sick.
And many of them, if not most of them are morbidly obese.
And I know that because I needed to have like a pretty strong
back and pretty good grip strength because I was
constantly moving huge fat, sick people around.
It's not me trying to be mean. I'm just telling you there's a
problem in this country and our Healthcare is out of control.
A lot of it is because people have not taken personal
responsibility. They think somehow the
government is supposed to save them.
I, I forget when you work in, when you work in that field, by
the way, as a medic, you forget that there are 65 and 70 and 75
year old people that are totally living on their own 2 feet and
healthy and productive members of society.
It's really hard to remember that because when I would deal
with somebody who'd be in their late 50s, they would be a human
disaster area and they were near death regularly and you'd see
them, you'd go, Oh my God, like 58, It's so old.
But I knew that it wasn't old because those people were
younger than my parents. And then I would look at them
and I'd be like, ah, at 60, you're basically done with life.
No, just if you choose to be done with life.
And we have a lot of Americans that have basically said the
government will take care of me, I'm done.
I'm not going to eat healthy. I'm not going to exercise, I'm
not going to make good choices. I'm just going to eat slop and
garbage. And I'm just going to float
along and somebody will take me to my deployments.
There'll be a Kyle Seraphin or similar who will come in.
Some healthy able bodied guy will drive me to my doctor at
$1000 an hour and the federal government will pay for it.
And that's what my ambulance company did.
All of what we called inner facility transfers were billed
at crazy amounts of money. By the way, I made about 15
bucks an hour doing that, $15.00 an hour for a fairly competent
high skill. And certainly like if something
bad were to happen, it would have been all on me.
The company made $1000 on top of my efforts.
Now, yes, they had the the contract.
That's part of it. They had the billing department
so they could get the money. They had the ambulance system.
So I don't begrudge them the money that they were going to
make on it, except that they were making it on all of our
backs because the entire business model was how can we
pull money out of the federal government to serve our
interests? It's a very short term goal
because at the end of the day, you're saddling your kids with
incredible amounts of debt. Oh man, I have to show the chat
right now. Just for a second.
The chat is saying that I needed a high lift and a come along.
So that's like a like a winching system.
We actually had an ambulance set up that was was referred to as
bariatric medicine. It was a bariatric transport
system. It was almost like a flatbed.
They had removed all of the ambulance stuff out of it.
We would actually connect a Kevlar rope on a, on a, on a
winch that was locked down at the front of the the ambulance,
like up near the cab, and we would winch up people that were
too heavy to be rolled up by normal people.
Normal people being me, if somebody was over, I can't
remember if it was 300 or £350, we would use what was called the
bariatric truck, which amusingly enough was a number 747.
I thought that was really funny. The 747 would come in and pick
up the Super fats and those people were huge.
I mean, I moved patients that were over £500.
We had a guy that was well over 650 lbs.
How they were still alive and feeding that, that carcass was
incredible. But I kid you not.
And I would always get on there and because I had a background
in air traffic control, I would let them know that my my call
sign, which was Medic 9, usually be like medic 9 has now become
Medic 747 heavy. And people would just be like,
you can't say it on the radio, huge people, really unhealthy.
I'm talking about this because we're discussing this to claim
that Republicans are falsely pinning Democrats with wanting
to give free health care to illegals.
I don't think that's what's going on here.
And also, what a silly debate. We're going to get strapped in
on whether or not we're going to give it to illegals or American
citizens. You heard Mike Johnson just
defending America needs to give health care to people who have
like earned it, who are American citizens.
Why is the federal government involved in giving health care
to anyone? It's so crazy.
I thought we were going to make America healthy again.
I thought we were going to actually try to like remove some
of the problems with long term illness, which also, by the way,
is not the federal government's anything.
It has nothing to do with our federal charter.
In any case, let me read this story because it's fun from ABC
News Republicans falsely claiming Democrats want to give
free health care to illegals. All right, it says as the nation
marines towards the government shutdown.
Too late, we got there. President Trump and the top
Republicans, including JD Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson and
Senate Majority Leader John Thune have falsely accused
Democrats of demanding free healthcare for illegal aliens.
They put it in air quotes like there's not such a thing as an
illegal alien leaving the White House.
On Tuesday morning, Trump claimed that Democrats want to
be able to take care of people that are coming to our country
illegally, adding that they want to give them full healthcare
benefits. And after a meeting between
Trump and the Republican leaders and Chuck Schumer and Hakeem
Jeffries, it was meant to hash out a their differences and
avert a shutdown. Fans had made the same claim.
And so everybody was very, very upset about all this, including
one of our favourites. Here's Maxine Waters.
They had this Democrat gaggle where all the Democrat lawmakers
went and stood on the steps of the Capitol and then answered
questions mostly from people that were going to own them
because the people that are doing it are kind of dumb.
Here's Maxine Waters. She's not that bright.
She does seem to be dodging the issue on this.
Do Democrats want to prioritize the healthcare of illegal aliens
over a government shutdown? Because if the government does
shut down Americans. Excuse me, Stop it right there.
We're not prioritizing. What we're doing is saying
simply, we want to keep the government open and we want to
work with the Republicans and have a bipartisan agreement to
keep this government open. And Healthcare is at the top of
our agenda. But are Democrats demanding
healthcare for illegal aliens? Democrats are demanding
healthcare for everybody. We want to save lives.
We want to make sure that Healthcare is available to those
who would die but having the help of their government.
So you're good with the government shutdown, even if it
means giving healthcare to people who aren't American
citizens. That's what you're pushing on.
What you're trying to do is you're standing here and you're
trying to make me say that somehow we're going to put non
citizens over Americans. Quit it.
Stop it. This is the kind of journalism
we don't need. You're divisive.
No, you're not. You're being divisive.
No, please don't. You don't need to ask that
question. You're just trying to get
controversy here. You're not going to get it from
me. We want to save healthcare for
all people. Thank you for everybody.
We need to get it for everybody, she says.
Why? Why?
What is that? What?
What part of the Constitution says that we're supposed to
provide health care? We're supposed to provide like a
mandatory service of the federal government that comes from
individual private labor? Why?
I don't know, but don't act like that's not what you guys are
interested in. Here's the 2020 presidential
debate for the Democrat candidates.
They were being asked about their plan for the country and
what sort of health care plans they might have and whether or
not it would include illegal aliens.
Check this out. Raise your hand if govern if
your government plan would provide coverage for
undocumented immigrants. OK, let me yay.
Illegal aliens should get the healthcare because we want to
save everybody, but we don't know how we're going to pay for
it. We're just going to make stuff
up. By the way, this is not a
sentiment that is you, like, uniquely qualified for Maxine
Waters. It's for a bunch of people.
A bunch of people think this at every level running for office.
Democrats think Healthcare is a human right.
And what is a human right? Is it really something that
you're entitled to? If you're born, then you get
healthcare. How do we square that with
reality? There are plenty of people who
don't have health insurance. Why would it be a human right?
Can anyone answer these? I like, I just why are we not
asking that? Like, hey, what makes it a human
right? How do you enforce that?
How do you define a right? Like you have the right to speak
right? We're going to talk about that
in a minute. You have a right to say things.
You don't have a right to be free of consequences of those
things. You might get hit in the face if
you say something dumb. You don't.
You're not supposed to get hit in the face.
But you don't have a right not to get hit in the face because,
like, it can happen. We know it.
So then what happened? They violated your rights,
maybe, I don't know. This is Scott Jennings on CNN.
This idea that everybody deserves healthcare, it sounds
really good, right up to the point when you realize that also
involves compelling the service of doctors and someone has to
pay for it. It's the reason why these people
are so juvenile with their understanding.
It's like we need fairness. It's like, who told you the
world was fair? What planet?
What parent failed you is what I want to know.
This woman seems very young by the way to be running for
office. I guess I can't have it both
ways. I can't say that I don't want
ancient old people that are decrepit and their brains don't
work anymore to be in charge of the government and then also get
mad at young people who want to run.
But isn't there like a happy medium?
Isn't there like a power space where you're like, I'm not
stupid, I know things but also I'm not too old.
There is a power range and maybe it's like 30 to 60 ish
something. Can we not have like 25 year
olds come out there and tell me dumb things that they don't
understand because they don't have enough life experience?
Anyway, here's one of them trying to do it with Scott
Jennings. Kind of funny because he's
smarter than all these people and all he does is have to ask
questions. They answer the questions.
They just sound ridiculous. Everyone deserves healthcare,
even illegals. Every single person in the world
deserves. Just for the.
Record as a candidate, you're for illegal aliens getting
Medicaid. I think everyone in the world
deserves That's a yes. That's a yes, it's a Democrat.
It is a yes, but yeah. It's a democratic position.
Illegal aliens should get mental.
But I mean I, I mean, I mean I don't I but.
How was it controversial? How was it controversial?
They didn't want me to die in the hospital, but again, what
do? You think pays for healthcare
when undocumented people show up at a hospital?
Who pays for that? We all pay for it.
Including on that, we all people, because they actually
contribute. That's the point.
No, not the undocumented people. They don't have the highest
salaries. They're not the ones that are
taxed at the highest rate. Are we serious right now?
Who pays for it? Us.
That's the reason why it's so crazy we have universal
healthcare in this country. They will not turn you away no
matter who you are, no matter how in unable you are to pay for
the services that go to a hospital.
And then guess what? The next people all pay that
bill. Well, how do you know that?
Because I've seen the billing. Because I used to work in a
hospital. We would bring people in that
were homeless all the time. And we would be like, hey, can
you make a $5 contribution towards the cost of your
hospitalization? You were using the single most
expensive method of doing medicine in America.
And they'd be like, no, can you hand me my bag?
I'm going to go outside for a minute and have a cigarette.
Because I can afford $8 a pack of cigarettes, but I can't
afford $5 to offset the cost and keep me out of collections for
this medical bill that I'm incurring, which is going to be
hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
And I'm not even too sick. I can even walk outside and have
a damn cigarette. Anybody who's worked in the
system knows how freaking broken it is.
And guess what? Since that guy doesn't pay
anything and I'm thinking of a very specific dude who was
really upset he wanted his bike brought into the ER.
I remember seeing him. Why do you remember that guy so
specifically? Because he came in seven days in
a row. We had the same clown, not that
sick with allergy like symptoms roll into our emergency room
where we treated people who were actively dying of heart attacks,
gunshot wounds, serious ailments where they were, you know, APNIC
children who couldn't make it to the Children's Hospital that
were that were falling apart and dying right there because of
some acute problem. And that guy's life was a
disaster. And so he came in because he was
bored and he wanted a meal. I heard emergency room
physicians say don't feed the trolls.
And I'm like, what is that? And he's like, you know, trolls,
they live under bridges and they make demands and stuff.
And you're like, oh, trolls are homeless people.
That's what you're saying. That seems insensitive, right up
to the point where you realize people came in because they
wanted a ambulance. They wanted a sandwich, and they
drove in on the ambulance, which is what we used to call it.
They got transported in because they wanted to get closer to the
homeless shelter, which we were closer to than where they were.
And we also had cab vouchers. This is not good stuff, folks.
When Healthcare is a right and everybody gets treated, we all
pay for it. Exactly what Scott Jennings
said. It's very interesting and it's
all our fault for being meanies. And they do say it, by the way.
They say overtly right out in front.
They got no problem saying that. All right, let's talk about
people that we don't hate. Real quickly, My friends over at
Patriot Coolers, the website is Patriot coolers.com.
The promo code Kyle will save you 10% over there.
Their stuff is built for Battlefield.
I don't know exactly what that means, but it's super durable
and it actually stands up to like, let's say working with
kids. I've got both of their their
large coolers, We've got their soft coolers.
I've given them as gifts. They're fantastic for that.
We also keep one on the desk almost at all times.
I'm almost always drinking either coffee or water out of
one of these things wherever I go.
It travels with me. Guys, check them out.
They fit nice, especially under the Cove Pure system.
They're well thought out, well designed.
They're patriotic in nature. They got, you know, 13 bars on
it and they got 50 stars on most of these.
They say Patriot, not Yeti or Stanley or some other nonsense
or Igloo. You're none of those things, so
check them out. Support our friends over there.
If you're in the market for a quality outdoor piece, this is
like a one time big investment. You're going to hold on to it
for a long time and you can use it all the time like we do.
I literally keep our cooler in the back of our minivan because
we're constantly driving around because it's still freaking 90°
here on October 1st in Texas America.
Patriot Coolers is the website link in the show description.
If you guys want to see the Kyle Seraphin collection, which is
just like some of our stuff, they're going to actually add a
Kyle Seraphin logo. If you want one that's branded
with our logo on the cup. But Patriot coolers.com is the
website again and the promo code Kyle will save you 10%.
They also help out vets who are having issues with mobility, not
homeless vets per SE, but people who are like, hey, I've got a
house. I've done all the right things,
but it's really hard for me to get around inside because I'm in
a wheelchair or I've got a missing limb.
They go out there and they fund that stuff.
Good people, good folks. Check them out for sure.
Let's talk about government shutdown even further because
it's still fun and we got a picture of not my favorite guy.
This is this is Russ Vaught or vote, I guess.
It's pronounced government shutdown is Trump and Congress's
fault. And during this time, they're
also going to do something extra dangerous and bad.
They are going to defund a federal watchdog council.
This is one of the things, and his picture popped up with the
story about the Trump administration is considering
pulling funding for a federal watchdog group that is
effectively stripping counselors for the Council of Inspectors
General, or SIGGY. Removing the council's funding
will mean further hollowing out of the federal inspectors
general, the internal government investigators and watchdog
groups that are supposed to root out fraud, waste, abuse and
misconduct. Can we be really, really serious
for one second about that? The government investigating
itself and finding wrongdoing with no ability to affect it is
stupid. It is a waste of our money and
it always has been. I have complained to the Office
of Inspectors General, nothing happens.
I have seen the internal investigations.
They recommend action that doesn't have to be taken.
When the government investigates itself, even if it finds
wrongdoing, it generally excuses that wrongdoing and then nothing
happens. It doesn't mean that it's not a
good idea. It's just a terrible execution.
And why do I not much care for Russ?
Vote. He's the guy that fired Steve
friend from his little think tank because Steve was friends
with me. Steve was explicitly asked our
friendly Friday. Steve friend was asked to stop
showing up for friendly Fridays and stop being friends with Kyle
Seraphin. And he chose to lose his job
with Russ because Russ is a weak man.
That's my take on it. It's very personal.
I will be right up front. My bias is high.
I don't care for this guy. I don't care what he does.
That's good. I find him to be kind of a
morally detestable person for making that push and for kicking
my friend out of a job. I think that's weak, but not
maybe or maybe the same weakness as we see from this dude.
Scott McFarlane, equally polished, different sides of the
coin. Here's something kind of gross.
He's going to go out there and defend the Federals, inspectors
general and they've never done anything.
Was corruption stopped under Biden?
No Was corruption stopped under Trump 1.0?
No. Was it stopped under anybody
ever? No.
Our federal government continues to grow completely out of
control, which is why I'm always excited about shut down.
And if these people are crying, then I'm psyched about it.
Listen, I look who is squealing when pressure is applied and if
it's left wing propagandists, I'm totally down with it.
Let it be so Scott McFarlane in a polished voice.
It's Wednesday. Hey, good morning.
It's Wednesday, and it's Scott McFarlane.
You know, forget the government shutdown.
Put that aside. There's another reason we're
waking up to a very changed Washington this morning.
There will be fewer investigators on the beat,
effective immediately, looking for waste, fraud, misconduct and
abuse by federal employees and members of the Trump
administration. And even if the government
reopens, those investigators may not be coming back.
Or that help for investigators may not be coming back because
as of midnight last night, Trump administration has moved to stop
funding something called SIGGIE, which I agree is obscure CIGIE.
But those who've been involved with SIGGIE can tell you they
are the lifeblood of federal inspectors and those who
watchdog bird Dog, the government for misconduct and
the administration for misconduct.
Here's the website for SIGGY against the Council on
Inspectors General on integrity and efficiency.
They are critical to supporting the dozens of inspectors general
across the government to ensure there's no misconduct.
A system is what it does. The purpose is what it does.
What does it do? It doesn't do basically
anything. Here's the White House statement
on it. Inspectors general are meant to
be impartial. Walk Dog investigating and
identifying waste and corruption on behalf of the American
people. Unfortunately, they've been
corrupt, partisan, and in some cases have lied to the public.
The American people will no longer be funding this
corruption. That should be the answer for
almost all federal government. Less of it is more for us.
In other words, less that we fund.
More money in your pocket. If you are in fact a
conservative person and you want to be financially independent
from our government, the best step is have the government stop
funding things that you've never heard of.
If you haven't heard of it, it probably doesn't affect your
life and they don't do a great job of it.
Why is it that we constantly have this nonsense?
Now? This didn't stop the theatrical,
ridiculous sort of presentation of Democrats.
Again, if you've got CBS out there crying about the Ziggy,
then you're probably going to have Congress members, men and
women. I'm going to show 1 of each that
are out there decrying the work of Republican.
Again, I dislike both of them. I got no problem punching at
either one of them. Mike Johnson?
Smithers. How about somebody on the other
side of the aisle that we don't like?
Here's Debbie Wasserman Ramen Noodle Schultz talking about
something. Is it just me or does she look
really, really rough as the shutdown comes in?
What sort of funding did they cut?
They they, they cut something? I'm generally a fan of women not
wearing makeup, but I also think that somebody should like self
select whether they're going to put a camera that close in their
face when they haven't slept in a month or whatever it is.
Or maybe she slept on some concrete steps because she was
trying to get close to the homeless.
Listen, I don't want to punch at people's looks very frequently.
I'm only going to punch up to people that have a lot more
power than we do. But she voluntarily put this out
into the public. This is not like some lady that
I walked by in the store and I went like, hey, you're gross.
This is the lady who said, hey, look at me, I'm Debbie Wasserman
Schultz with ramen hair. Check out how weird I am.
I think she's having a stroke in one eye too.
Like one of her odd face is droopy.
This is this is, this is theater.
And it's like, you know, politics is show business for
ugly people. Proving it right here.
If you're missing this video, you should watch this video
because it's really gross. Hey, everyone, Debbie Wasserman
Schultz here just came off the House floor where Democrats in
the House tried to get Republicans to hear our
legislation that would keep the government open, lower health
care costs and the cuts and save Americans health care.
And Republicans ignored us and would not, not let us even take
a step forward. They gaveled in.
They gaveled out. Democrats are here ready to
work. Republicans are on vacation, and
they will own the shutdown and the increased health care costs.
We're not going to stand for it. Nailed it.
Way to go. Yeah, no, I agree the
Republicans should own the shutdown.
They should be like, government sucks, so we're shutting it
down. We're not going to fund it.
And then we're going to go through with a machete and we're
going to cut out all the things that we can do.
Guys in the chat are seeing it like, I don't know what's going
on with that right eye, but it's like she's got the pin on one
side and then right above it, this eye is droopy and pink and
weird. And so maybe she's having her
like, you do have a choice. No one's making you stand in
front of a camera and then broadcast it to the world.
So you are within sort of the public sphere where I get to ask
questions about that. So that was a woman who's in
rough shape and she's very upset about the government shutdown.
Maybe they they cut her healthcare.
Maybe they did, right. Remember, it's not about
healthcare. Republicans falsely claim that
the Democrats want to give free healthcare to everybody.
And then she goes on and talks about how it's about healthcare.
OK, then we can go to someone who needs a different kind of
healthcare. This is Tim McBride, AKA Sarah
McBride, who needs some mental health care and probably should
be checked into an asylum. He's doing a theatrical
presentation of where? Where are the Republicans at?
Let me run around with this stage nonsense.
I'm going to look underneath tables and chairs and see if I
could find my colleagues. Even though we waited till the
last second and then shut down this government.
I think the Republicans should own it.
They should just say, yeah, we just didn't want to be around
Tim McBride. He's gross and weird.
We're barreling towards a shutdown.
All my Democratic colleagues are here.
I'm going to go search for my Republican colleagues.
Republicans. Republicans.
We all know there's a government shutdown.
Republicans, anyone? Here is.
Mike Johnson in here. Let's see if some Republicans
are in here. Are there any Republicans in
here? Hello Republicans.
No Republicans here. They left a mess and left town.
No Republicans on the train. Republicans.
Have you seen any Republicans? What is this?
Seriously. Any Republicans?
Here. Somebody spent a lot of time
putting this together, so you've got this goofy theater kid.
I'm actually going to turn down the volume of this because it's
so bad. This is a goofy theater kid who
was goofy in college and effeminate.
And I don't know, I assume he's gay, like I'm guessing here, but
I think that was the case that we got when we saw him speaking.
And now he dresses like a woman and he's running around doing
bad acting. Are any of you Republicans?
Are you the Republican dude? It's it's so strange anyway, but
it's Trump's fault. Remember, it's Trump's fault.
He's the bad man. Also, Trump is really mean
because he indicted Jim Comedy. Now, I don't think that James
Comedy is a very sympathetic figure.
And this story, which comes from NBC where they're crying about
it, is not something that moves my heart whatsoever.
I think James Comedy was very responsible for a lot of the
evil things. The thing that I think is scary
about Jim Comedy is the stuff that he did was actually legally
authorized by the agency that he worked for.
We're going to find out. You guys are going to learn.
I think that the deputy director and the FBI director have a
broad range of things that they can do and that leaking to the
media is not a thing that they are actually going to be in
trouble for. You can't actually leak to the
media when you have the authority to give out media
information. I think that's what people are
going to find out. So again, this goes to my
supposition that the government can be shut down and we'll all,
we should all cheer no matter who you are.
And if you do it, if you're the ones who are like, Nah, we're
not funding it. You own it and you get really
proud of it. Here's Rand Paul, he was sitting
on the on the floor of the Senate and the votes came in and
he voted against funding with this little CR, this
appropriation bill. No, no, perfect.
Exactly right. Don't fund the damn thing, OK?
Because you're going to end up with more nonsense.
I'm going to read you the story because this is NBC crying about
what happened to Jim Comedy. And the headline says that the
case jeopardizes Americans free speech rights.
What? These are retired judges.
Isn't it always funny how the retired types come out of
retirement simply so they can go out there and tell us how upset
they are about what we're doing now that they're no longer
involved In their letter, the former federal and state judges
have warned that, quote, rights and liberties of every American
are in grave danger. Today as President Donald Trump
continues to corruptly abuse the power of his office by directing
the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation to target his critics and his perceived
political enemies for investigation and criminal
prosecution. I do agree with that, but not
specifically because Donald Trump.
It's just because those agencies exist, by the way.
They're going to still be open when the shutdown happens.
All Americans have an obligation as citizens of this great
country to speak out against this unprecedented attack on our
freedom. Where were you a holes when they
were doing this stuff to Christians or parents or people
that talked about COVID or when they were following around
people who are in your own Democratic Party and decided
that they didn't like what you were up to?
Remember, we have people like Tulsi Gabbard who crossed the
aisle simply because the system sucks.
It is a terrible system and we all fund it at tremendous,
tremendous cost. I'm going to show you evidence
of that. There was a little hearing where
Matt Taibbi, who I'm a fan of, just, you know, Full disclosure,
went and talked about it. And I think that's pretty
fantastic stuff. First, I want to just tell you,
you might hear an ad from our friends over at Spotify.
So here it is. And it's a good reminder that if
you're listening on X, if you're listening on YouTube, if you're
listening on Rumble, which was a little screwy this morning to
make sure that you guys have liked our program.
It does boost us in the ratings. And you can also follow us over
at kyleserafin.com, which is our local channel.
Guys, we're going to do the local show tonight.
For those of you that are interested, you're going to get
locals call in tonight because tomorrow I'm going to do an
interview with a guy named Gary Melton, who's a green Beret or
retired green Beret and he's at Paramount Tactical and he I told
him I would do it. So do that.
If you're following somewhere else, make sure you check us out
over at kyleserafinshow.com, which is our Spotify.
It is the best way to watch. So if you can see like, I don't
know, Debbie Ramen, Wasserman Schultz, if you want to see her
hair, then you can check it out. Check that thing out and then
again, make sure you guys are liking us over on the video
platforms. I see you, YouTube, I see you
all. I know you guys are there.
Make sure you're liking and sharing and subscribing.
Let's bump over the top of that 14,000 subscribers over on
YouTube. If you guys don't mind, that
could be fun. So the local show is always at
8:00 PM if you're listening in the morning or if you're
listening and you're like, holy crap, I have the ability. 8:00
PM Eastern Time. That's when we do the call in
show for all of our subscribers and it's whatever you guys want
to talk about. You can tell me how much you
love government shutdowns, or you can tell me that it's really
bad and really dangerous. Or you could tell me that the
United States faces major problems, problems because of
flooding in hospitals and Trump is making it worse.
I kid you not. It's Trump's fault for the
weather and the pack, that hospitals are built in low zones
where it could flood. Is that real?
Let me give you the strongest argument for shutting these
things down. The strongest argument comes
from Matt Taibbi talking about something really simple.
I'm going to get back to the story about the hospitals
because this is goes along with Healthcare is somehow a right
and we're all supposed to be able to pay for it so that
illegal aliens can come here and get healthcare that we all pay
for. For some reason, we owe it to
them. I don't know why, but how about
the things that we were overtly paying for it that never did
anything good? And if you guys look in the
background of this clip, what you're going to see there it is,
is a friend of the show. Her name is Sonia Libosco, and
she is one of the senior people over at the Federal Air Marshals
National Council. She's a suspendable, she's a
stud. She's one of our our only ladies
in the group of suspendables. And look at her over Matt
Taibbi's right shoulder. It'll be closest to me on the
screen. He's talking about quiet skies,
which is one of the victories. Notice we shut down quiet skies
under the Trump administration. This time, no terrorist attacked
that would have happened on planes.
Why would that be? Oh, probably because there was
never a chance that they were going to stop terrorist attacks.
This is the reason that you de weaponize government.
When you shut it down, nobody notices.
Former Hawaii congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi
Gabbard was placed in a surveillance program called
Quiet Skies by the Transportation and Security
Administration. She was subject to intrusive
searches, followed by bombs and swing dogs and trailed by three.
Federal air marshals per flight to cover the story.
I contacted the TSA. They no commented the main
question about the truth of the story, but added as if in
mitigation quote, simply matching to a risk based rule
does not constitute derogatory information about an individual.
That's bureaucratis, for we can't say if Missus Gabbard was
in the program, but if she was, don't draw any conclusions,
because we do this even to innocent people before Quiet
Skies was discontinued by this administration.
It was a symbol of the steep decline of federal enforcement
since 9:11, the government spent $200 million a year following up
to 50 people a day for a program that in its.
History never once led to an arrest or thwarted a single
terrorist act. Despite its demonstrated in
utility and grave civil liberties concerns, it was
refunded year after year because this is what our government does
now. It gathers information on its
own citizens as an end in itself.
Former Hawaii congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi
Gabbard was placed in a surveillance program called
Quiet Skies by the Transportation and Security
Administration. She was subject to intrusive
searches, followed by bombs and swing dogs and trailed by three
federal air marshals per flight. All right, it doubled back,
right? So what are we talking about
here? We're talking about a person who
was holding a top secret clearance due to her position in
the military, who was a presidential candidate for the
major party in the United States and we were wasting $200 million
a year for 20 plus years doing what?
Nothing. It was 0 value in any of this
stuff. That was Matt Taibbi.
You guys will know him from the Twitter Files.
If you guys know. He was also referred to as the
Dennis Rodman of Mongolian basketball.
At one point when I first spoke to him, that was the first thing
I said to him. That caring went on to talk
about other things, including the reasons that people got
profiled. Why did they get profiled?
Why were they being watched by our government?
Well, in the same way that you hear judges crying about free
speech and the ability to go out there and communicate and Jim
Comedy is a martyr for all of us, they seem to forget that
there was some speech that they were not a big fan of.
Particularly if you talked about masking, particularly if you
talked about COVID vaccines, particularly if you talked about
things that were not part of the orthodoxy of the left wing
government that was actually trying to run things.
And when I say left wing government, what I mean is just
government because government leans left because the ice cream
cone licks itself. A system is what it does.
That's why the process is the punishment.
It's on purpose. It's not an accident that these
things are not fun to be a part of.
Here's Taibbi in a discussion with Senator Moreno.
Talking about what? About masking?
How do you get on a quiet Skies list?
Thank God that it's being thrown out now.
It seems like a nasty stereotype, doesn't it?
Those of us who had some level of like, hey, this is just
stupid, said we're not going to wear a mask and that put you on
a no fly list that got you banned from flying.
Could you explain that? Actually, Senator, it's worse
than that. From my understanding is that
just for supporting a group that protested the wearing of masks
on airplanes, you could you you could be placed on a no fly list
or on a watch list by the TSA. That's in addition to the J6
category, which included people who were just suspected of
traveling to the National Capital Region.
Do you get it, By the way, do you see Sony La Bosco back
there? She's nodding.
She's like, that's right, my boy is getting it done.
That's all true. The craziest thing we found out
about the the TS as watch listing of people is that you
didn't actually have to participate in January 6th,
which, you know, probably shouldn't have resulted in a
government watch list. You didn't have to do anything.
You literally had to be on a flight that flew you into the
National Capital Region during that time period and you could
get nominated. And we found out which we've
done shows on this. You can go back into the
archives and look at them. Our our discussions with Sonia
and Bosco are very illuminating. Go back there and find out that
we had with our dollars a Federal Air Marshall
supervisor's wife being followed despite the fact that she was
handicapped and physically unable to walk even into the
Capitol. And the fact that she just
showed up in the Capital Region on that day was enough for her
to get a full team of air marshals, three full paid
surveillance agents to sit with her just in case she did
something dangerous, which she never had any indication she
would do. That's why they never caught a
terrorist. All right.
And in the equally stupid and illogical and nonsensical
things, this CBS News story is fantastic.
Again, I'm showing you the headline.
At least 170 U.S. hospitals face major flood risk and Trump is
somehow making it worse. I, I don't know how you get to
this level. This is the reason why I was
making fun of Scott McFarlane today.
This is his agency saying things that are so deranged.
This is like, this is a a great example of TDs, the Trump
Derangement Syndrome. This is a decades old.
They're talking about Peninsula Hospital, which is in
Louisville, TN Apparently this is a decades old psychiatric
hospital. I'm going to take a deep breath
and read that one more time. It's in Louisville, KY Sorry,
it's in Louisville, TN. Or maybe it's Louisville, TN.
It's decades old. So it sounds like it predates
the Trump administration. And it was built at the edge of
a river. An intense storm could submerge
the building in 11 feet of water, cut off all access to
roads, according to sophisticated computer
simulations of flood risks. Are these the same ones that are
doing the climate change, I wonder?
Aurora, a young woman who was committed to Peninsula as a
teenager, said the hospital sits so close to the river it felt
like a Moat keeping her and dozens of patients inside.
A woman with mental illness felt like a river that was rolling
by, which is otherwise a very nice thing to see outside your
window. Thought it was a Moat.
She agreed to talk as long as they didn't share her private
medical history. My first feeling is doom, she
said. This is the mentally ill
teenager that has been committed to the hospital.
This is somehow related to Donald Trump.
I don't know how. Covenant Health, which runs the
hospital, said it is proactive and thorough in approaching
emergency planning, but they didn't want to give any details
because I'm not sure why CBS should get any.
It's one of 170 American hospitals totaling nearly 30,000
patient beds from coast to coast that face great risk of
significant or dangerous flooding, according to AKFF
Health News investigation, which was provided using data from a
company called Fathom, a company considered the leader in flood
simulations. Oh, so they have a vested
interest in showing their blood simulations because they sell
those to people for insurance, OK.
Much of the risk from these hospitals is not captured by
flood maps issued by FEMA. Wait, so FEMA's maps are not
good enough and a private company does it better?
Isn't this an argument for shutdown?
What does this have to do with Donald Trump?
I don't know yet. We haven't found that part out.
It's highly concerning, said Caleb Dresser, who studies
climate change and is an emergency room.
Wait a minute. Caleb Dresser studies climate
change and is both an emergency room doctor and a Harvard
University assistant professor. If you don't have the
information to know you're at risk, how can you triage the
problem? Well, that's a totally
reasonable thing. But are there very many
emergency room doctors that are also studiers of climate change?
Like, what are we talking about here?
And then it goes and talks about a flood that happened 20 years
ago, which was in Katrina. Look, I've seen people deal with
this problem. My buddies were residents down
at UTMB, University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX,
during a significant and massive hurricane.
Do you know how they got to work?
Because the streets were all flooded in a kayak.
Because my friends had kayaks. They were also fit and healthy
people. So they straight up paddled
their way in wearing board shorts, and then they changed
out into their scrubs and then they went to work.
That happened after Katrina. It was totally doable and nobody
was refused. Somehow I don't understand why.
It's Donald Trump's fault and I still can't figure it out.
Ah, here we go. The investigation, among the
first to analyze nationwide hospital flooding risks in an
era of warming climates and worsening storms, comes as the
Trump administration has slashed federal agencies that forecast
and respond to extreme weather and also dismantle the FEMA
programs designed to protect hospitals and other important
buildings from floods. Are they sandbag programs?
What are we talking about here? Seriously, what on God's great
earth would the Trump administration do to stop the
weather? This is what happens when you
start thinking that the person that you elect to go be the
president not only controls all the branches of government for
some reason, even though they don't, but that there's some
sort of like God Keem Emperor, that they're going to go out
there and bestow rain upon the places that need it and stop the
rain from the place that it ought not to.
Americans, we are like every other people that have ever
existed. We are so desperate for a king.
We are so desperate to just outsource all of our grievances
and let someone else take responsibility for it.
And by the way, we're going to seat our civil liberties at the
same time. The Democrats are worst about
it. The people that are left of
center agree that this is the right answer.
The people that are the right are not always the right answer.
And those of us that are conservatives are just sort of
sitting on a hill going, all of you are dumb.
Shut it all down. And so today is a day of
government shutdown. And I'm happy about it.
I really am. I'm also happy about this
because this was super funny that happened yesterday.
Pete Hagseth railed against quote UN quote woke laid out
standards in a speech to the top generals and Admirals at
Quantico yesterday. And it was pretty good.
He said things that are so overtly normal for people that
are war fighters or come from that culture that nobody that
was a war fighter was mad. Nobody said, hey, I want weaker
physical fitness standards and I need to have women that can't
meet the standard. I think that we should have
anybody that's not capable of being in the military be in the
military. And so here was these little
clips. I want to play a little taste of
what that was. It was not met favorably by
people on the left, which means I loved it.
I really did. Here he goes.
Today, at my direction, each service will ensure that every
requirement for every combat MOS, for every designated combat
arms position returns to the highest male standard.
Only because this job is life or death, standards must be met and
not just met at every level. We should seek to exceed the
standard to push the wait. You want people to be fit and
meet the highest standard of whatever the job was when their
lives are on the line. That seems ridiculous.
That is not respectful. This Army staff Sergeant has
some thoughts. I don't know when this started,
by the way, this TikTok trend where like ladies and men would
get together in their cars and they would film themselves in
uniform. But I thought you weren't
supposed to be making public statements in uniform.
I don't know why that's tolerated.
I hope she actually gets removed from the job.
I hope she has to go out and find a real job in the real
world, but some people really don't belong in there.
I had a very similar staff Sergeant say something to me
when I was actually getting out of the Air Force.
And she was like, I have a desk job and I get to see my kids at
night and I don't have to work on weekends.
And I'm like, I didn't sign up for that.
I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
I signed up to like put my life on the line.
I thought it was supposed to be hard and difficult and not like
a good source of income. I took an $80,000 pay cut to go
be in the Army, go be in the Air Force.
I enlisted with an $80,000 pay cut to go make 18 grand a year
at 272829 and 30 years old which were like peak income years I
would think for a young person. I don't like these people being
in the military and having a say, but I'm even more weirded
out that they do so in uniform and that is not punished.
So hopefully this lady actually gets identified.
Here she is Staff Sergeant, drill Sergeant, commanding.
So much respect from the troops I'm sure.
Demanding that you respect her and be nice and karma is a woman
apparently. Good afternoon, everyone.
So today I just wanted to come on here and tell you that if
you're a leader, it doesn't any type of leader, right?
Any type of leader. Should be a drill Sergeant like
me. Could be a section NCOA platoon
Sergeant for Sergeant. And if you think that you are
going to have the capability to be disrespectful, to be
malicious, to be spiteful with people's careers, yeah, with the
people that work for you in general.
Just remember, Karma knows your name.
Oh. Is that so?
And sooner or later, she's going to charge you.
So treat people with kindness and respect.
You know what? It's a good point.
That's what the military is all about, treating people with
kindness and respect. That's when I found I got the
most useful results. Why is she like that?
Who told her she could talk like that to people?
Who listens to that? If you had a female drill
Sergeant like that, I swear, I'm, I'm telling you right now,
I was 27 when I enlisted and I went to basic.
And yeah, the Air Force is not all that aggressive.
I thought the basic was a waste of my time.
But if a woman started speaking like that, I might have just
walked away. I'd, I have no interest.
If you can't physically stop me, then I don't really care.
I got a buddy who's a Green Beret.
He's a, he's a reservist or he's a, a Guardsman in the in.
I think it's 19th group, maybe 20th group.
Doesn't really make a difference.
He said something to me that I'll I'll never forget.
I will never forget him saying this because I was like, oh,
yeah, that's totally rational. That's how men think it.
Ladies, if you don't know this, this is how some men think, he
said. Is it weird, Kyle, that when I
look at a man, I size them up and I value them based on how
hard I think it would be to kill them?
I was like, no, I've never heard it put that way.
But yeah, like that's how we look at it.
It's like, could I take that guy?
Do I have to respect that guy? Yeah, that's the answer.
Should our generals not be in shape fit warriors that lead
from the front by being able to do basic PT?
And if you're too sloppy, too fat, if that's offensive to your
capabilities, if you are so if you are so weak and sloppy that
you can no longer go out there and show the troops that you
belong there to, why are you there?
Like there are some absolute studs.
And whether you guys like him or not, I think there's plenty of
bad things to be said about General Petraeus.
One of the things that was like really studly about Petraeus, I
knew a dude that was on his security detail and he said that
dude was a freak when it came to being running and fit.
He could do pull ups, He could run fast.
His guys were constantly like pushed to the edge.
He would have meetings with people where he would go out and
run like a 6 minute mile pace and have a conversation with
people. That's a stud.
That's what should happen. Now, did he do some other shady
stuff For sure? Like, it sounds like it, but if
you do not have that ethos where you want to be part of a culture
of excellence and physical fitness and making yourself more
dangerous to the point where the actual war fighters that are
going to be downrange look at you and say, yeah, you'd be hard
to kill or harder to kill. So I can respect that, then
maybe Pete Hexeth has a message for you.
And I think this is the same message.
You should go for that, Staff Sergeant.
But if the words I'm speaking today are making your heart
sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign.
We would thank you for your service, but I suspect I know
the overwhelming majority of you feel the opposite.
These words make your hearts full.
You love the War Department because you love what you do,
the profession of arms. You are hereby liberated to be
an apolitical, hard charging, no nonsense constitutional leader
that you joined the military to be.
We need you locked in on the M, not the D, the E or the I, not
the DEI or the D i.e. of dime. By that I mean the M military of
the instruments of national power.
That seems like a super straightforward message.
I thought that's what you would expect from from a Secretary of
War, Secretary of Defense. Like go out there, do the
mission set. You're supposed to hurt people
and their feelings and break stuff.
That's the entire thing. It's a projection of force.
Why do we act like something else is going on here?
That's crazy. And maybe it's because we got a
lot of those, like lady staff sergeants hanging out and
putting their lady thoughts out there in the world.
She could be on The View. Here's what The View had to say
about the same thing I'm. Actually really befuddled by by
why by why he did that. The optics were terrible.
Meaning all of our top military brass are all in one place and
we spent $6,000,000 to get them there.
That that didn't make a lot of sense to me.
It also didn't make a lot of sense to me that he was saying
that he was going to toughen physical standards and and
review the anti hazing policy by sort of implementing A hazing
policy. And then also, he said he was
going to return to the highest male standard for combat
positions because the troops were fat.
I, I just, I, I don't understand how that was supposed to be an
uplifting message for our military.
He was referring to Colonel Sanders.
It was, it was just, it was, it was really a bizarre thing.
He started talking about woke DEI policies.
By the way, there are no gender quotas in the military.
By the way, he fired more than a dozen military leaders, many of
them people of color and women. He fired the chairman of the
Joint Chief of Staff, General Charles Brown Junior, who is
African American. He fired the first woman to
command the Navy, Admiral Lisa Franchetti.
I I just, I don't understand the sort of hypocrisy of firing
these people and having all these people meet together and
then denigrating that. Did you?
See it Did you look? Welcome to the way that the
military operates. We gather you all together and
then we tell you that you are crap and you should be better.
It's called motivation. It's really good for you.
It works for men and people that want to work with men.
And if you're a lady and you're offended, you are not the
audience. Shocker.
You didn't join. You didn't join the military
there. Whatever her name is.
Sunny, Hoskins, Hoskin, whatever.
I don't care. You're not part of it.
You're not the audience. It was a bunch of dudes that got
sloppy that actually remember, hey, 20-30 years ago, I signed
up to go do something difficult, not to be some desk jockey, not
to be some wimp, not to go out there and be ADEI hire, not to
go out there and and get promoted because of my skin
color. It's not for you.
You're not the audience. The audience is a bunch of hard
charging men and women who want to work with men, which we often
times don't like and those standards should be the hardest
thing possible. My buddy was part of one of the
studies. He was a special operator with
the Air Force and and he deployed with a bunch of Army
units and they did a study in the Air Force the the the pH DS
that ran the physical fitness programs went out there and
grabbed a bunch of special operators, grabbed a bunch of
regular enlisted guys from the Air Force.
Now granted, the Air Force is not the most physical thing, but
they do have a lot of time to do PT and there's plenty of studs
in the Air Force just like there is in any other population.
And some of the, some of the most insane studs that I've ever
seen came out of the Air Force. So just call for what it is,
right? There's PJS, there's combat
controllers, there's tac bees and so on.
And then they grabbed women. So random subset of women,
physically fit athletic women, physically fit athletic dudes
from general population, from the enlisted crowd, and then
operators, the special operations guys.
And then they put them through like 3 days worth of physical
trials. And all kinds of stuff from
dragging weights to climbing ropes to swimming, to running,
to biking, to hiking to carrying rocks, to doing all the things
you might have to go do, moving things from one place to
another, you know, carrying sandbags and doing relays, all
kinds of stuff, teamwork and so on.
And guess what? There was a very clear striation
at the top physical peak standards were the stud
operators. What you'd expect, the people
that had already committed themselves with a few men
sprinkle in there from the general sort of enlisted pool.
Then you had the bulk group of men from the regular group of
the enlisted, the, the general population men with a few women
sprinkled in that were studs. And below that, you had the
women. It turns out it's kind of like
biology. We've already done this.
Do you know why we've done this? We've looked at it for thousands
of years. And it turns out that men in a
physical space operate in a way that women do not.
And it's nothing against women. That doesn't mean that you're
less than or you're not valuable as a person.
It just means that this is not where you excel.
Just like Kyle Seraphin at 58 is not going to be an NBA
basketball player. I came to grips with that.
I don't demand that there are more 5/8 and under 5-10 guys in
the in the National Basketball Association because I don't give
a shit. There are things that I can do
that men that do basketball cannot.
I used to go and do training that guys who who had graduated
from and get selected. We had dudes that went to the
NFL that went through the combine and they couldn't do
what I did fine. Like we all excel at different
things. And if you're going to be in the
war fighter world, the standard should be really high because
people's lives depend on it, it turns out.
And if you don't hold up to it, so be it.
There's nothing controversial about what that man just said.
It's really crazy to me that that was really upsetting.
In any case, I promised you a little bit of this sort of fresh
story. It's super fun.
It's going to be a quick little piece here, so let's just hit it
real quickly. Let's talk about Revolver News
claiming yesterday afternoon that Julie Kelly has found new
damning glitch information in the official pipe bomb story.
Of course, we're talking about the J5J6 pipe bomber, who is
still at large despite Dan Bongino going on his podcast
claiming he had a source in the FBI who knew exactly who it was.
Where is that source at Dan Bongino?
And where is the pipe bomber, the person who did the single
most terroristic act on that day?
Nobody knows all right and what is it that she uncovered?
She uncovered that in the official the official FBI
interview which I have here on the screen for you.
This comes from the 176 Washington field.
I'm showing you right here on the screen.
There it is. This is the intake form.
This is essentially the the typed up details which
predicated an an interview of the witness this woman named
Carlin Younger. This is what she sent into
what's called N Talk, the National Threat Operations
Center, N Talk, which is out in West Virginia.
And she reported a couple of days after January 6th that she
was the one who notified law enforcement on the ground and
she wanted to make sure the FBI knew who she was.
And so they went out there and they interviewed her.
Now, the thing that they've got really excited about was, was,
was twofold. Part 1 was that she wasn't
interviewed for a full week or or close to a week after January
6th. Well, part of it is because she
didn't self report to end talk until 1/8.
So that would have been two days after and then it takes a little
while for it to get out to the field and then she was finally
interviewed. And so we see here that she was
interviewed on the intake form at 1:15.
So it took them a number of days to go get to her seven days
after the reporting, which is not really that interesting to
me, to be fair. The thing that Julie Kelly
identified, and This is why she's so great, obviously,
folks, is because she said the following in her intake form,
which is clearly and most obviously going to be a fact
that nobody can say otherwise. She reported herself.
However, quote, I can confirm that the device must have been
placed between 12:00 PM and 12:40 Eastern Time because it
was not present when I went down to start my laundry at 12:00 PM,
but it was present when I returned to continue the laundry
at approximately 12:40. I would also like to report that
I was walking to the area right before I found the device.
I passed by a woman in front of the Capital Club who stared at
me suspiciously. That's it.
That's, that's that's the thing. Julie Kelly has cracked the case
that the pipe bomb allegedly was placed on the day of January 6th
between 12:00 and 12:40. And she says it because a woman
who recognized something one time but not the other time,
Boom. Now she's the winner.
She is the definitive answer in this end talk statement that she
sent in. It's absurd.
People don't recognize things. She didn't recognize it, so
therefore it wasn't there. Or she can say definitively, I
didn't see it the first time I passed.
It may have been there. It may not have been there.
And then I saw it the second time.
And by the way, in the same statement, she says I thought it
was just trash. So maybe she ignored it the
first time. You know, like when you're
carrying laundry and you're not looking for a flopping bomb,
maybe you didn't see the bomb. In any case, that leads us to
this story, which just the news did.
And so they, they put it out. The thing that was very
interesting in the just the news story about the J6 bomber case
was the thing that I've been saying out loud since what,
November of 2022? I've been saying this for three
years now. The the word viable is never
used, which means that maybe Steven D'antuano, who was the
the the addict of the Washington field office where I worked at
the time on January 6th, it may not have been really all that
versed on what was going on. And he was in congressional
testimony claiming that he believes that the bomb was
viable based on what people said.
But the word viable is not being used in the actual report.
And Cash Patel sent it off to a friendly source like Steve John
Solomon over at just the News. And so they're reporting the
bomb was not in fact, viable stuff that is old news to people
that listen to this podcast. That's the breaking story.
I'm going to be going on, I think with Alex Jones later to
talk about this stuff. All of this is really silly.
We're we're getting the bread and circuses routine, not just
with the government shutdown, but with the way the government
actually operates and the way that our, you know, our law
enforcement and our, our, you know, crying about the military
being told they have to be fit. This is all distractionary.
Again, it's it's show business for ugly people.
We keep getting it. We can't get away from it.
So that's the nature of the of the world we live in.
But we should at least dispense with they are doing all these
things, as you guys said in the chat.
That's exactly right. So many things are quote UN
quote fake and gay right now. They're fake for sure.
And gay like we used to say in the in the the 80s, which is
that we're irritated. I'm not entertained by this
stuff. I'm really not.
I'm bored and I want them to do their jobs and I want them to
shut down and do like real conservatism and not have as
much government. Instead, what we're going to get
is Pfizer, which we'll talk about tomorrow and cost cutting
for things that we shouldn't be involved in.
To say that this is a conservative administration is
kind of absurd, which is why I continually get myself on the
wrong side of all the teams. That's OK.
I'm going to hang out with people that are like comedians
that at least can laugh our way through this.
All right, we're going to wrap it up today.
I've got a palate cleanse for you that will make you smile
from a guy named Ryan Long, who's a fantastic comedian.
Before we do, make sure if you are still here watching thumbs
up on Rumble, thumbs up on YouTube, make sure you're
subscribed wherever you're watching like us over on X.
Yes, I do see the chat. Some of you guys were asking
that earlier. I occasionally see it, but I'm
also reading stuff. And if you want to join us on
locals and support us either as a free member or financially get
involved. It's Kyle serafin.com.
It's very easy to do. Let's do a palate cleanse,
something we can all smile about.
Here's Ryan Long talking about Tylenol and you know, liberal
stuff. Stop yelling in our ears,
ladies. Pregnant women don't want to
hear that you're not supposed to take Tylenol.
Honestly, because Trump said it the other day.
I saw a pregnant woman taking and I go, hey, you shouldn't be
doing that. And she started yelling all this
liberal shit at me like, I'm not pregnant and stop asking me for
milk. So it turns out she was just
that, which RFK was supposed to fix that too?
And I've been going around the country and he hasn't made a
dent. Come out to being a kid in 10
years, autistic. And then you have to turn.
You're just watching a video of your mom being like, you're just
playing with your trains, like, mom, who's Trump?
There you go. So that's Ryan Long.
You guys can go find him. He's on tour.
It looks like he's going to Baltimore.
He's going to Eugene OR. That sounds terrible.
New York. How about there?
How about some American cities? You can go to Fort Worth or
Dallas and then you can go be a not American in San Francisco.
Yeah. I like, if I didn't hate crowds,
I would go watch stand up comedians, except I've got
little kids, so I don't have the ability to go and do that.
Most of the time, folks like the show.
Thanks for being with us. I'm going to continue to say he
made a really good point. There's a reason why I chose
that palate cleanse. I thought we were going to fix
fatness. I thought we were going to make
America healthy again. We sure as heck aren't going to
do that. And we're sure as hell I'm not
going to do it by giving illegal aliens free healthcare right
now. So maybe government is in the
solution. Cheer on the shutdown.
Go give somebody a high 5 later on.
Oh, I'll show you one last little thing.
This is why I saw this post on social media.
If you guys want to find it on XI.
Will retweet this starting right now.
This is a man who ran a septic pumping system and when the
government of the city that he was working in failed to do
their job, they paid him $6000 a week to make sure that his
trucks continually pumped so that they did not have sewage
run over. It turns out it is private
industry that's going to save the day.
At the end of the day, they're going to pay for it the most
expensive way possible, which is taxing you, putting it into an
administration, then turning around and paying a guy who
would have done the work in the 1st place.
Look at him and the the interesting, poignant point was,
is the the person who posted this said that's my dad.
And we went by that moment and my teachers said, This is why
you stay in school. Meanwhile, that guy made as much
in six weeks as that teacher made in a whole year, because
that's how it works out. Anyway, God bless you.
God bless the people that keep our society running that are not
part of the government, that are just doing real work, you know,
real jobs, not like what I'm doing right here.
All right, I'll look forward to seeing you guys again on
Thursday. Hopefully the government will
still be shut down. Have a good rest of your day
y'all. Thanks for listening to the Kyle
Seraphin show, streamed live weekdays on rumble.com/kyle
