Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower, an
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
welcome to the Kyle Seraphin show.
Thanks for joining us today on this Wednesday, April the 30th.
And I'm looking forward to talking about a few things that
are going on right now, particularly this this loss of
principles. First of all, there's some loss
of principles in our audience. I want to address this right
now. There's some liars out there
that are listening right now. Maybe you are a liar.
I saw a bunch of people making comments yesterday about Pablo
Picasso. Can we just, can we just stop?
I had people tell me I I was a science major and I knew when
Pablo Picasso died, I knew that he was alive in the 60s.
Let's be real. You were an art minor.
You might have been a math major or a science major of some kind,
but you had an art minor, did you not?
You had multiple classes at art appreciation and intro to
drawing, right? Can we just be clear?
There's only about a half dozen of you that I saw that did this.
But enough of you commented on it like you were real proud of
the fact that you knew when Pablo Picasso died.
I don't believe you and you don't believe you and neither
does the rest of the people out there in the audience in our
chat. It's just saying, let's let's be
clear about a couple things before we get started.
It seems reasonable. All right, chat folks are
already out there trying to figure out whether or not
they're going to be able to send me live animals.
If you guys want to send something to the show.
And I got a pair of overalls yesterday from from one of you
who will remain nameless. Just saying.
You guys can send stuff to the show by going to our PO Box,
sending it out there. It's 9073 W state highway 29.
It's Suite 110, box 5 O 9 in Liberty Hill, TX 78642.
If you're listening on Spotify, you guys can find it very
easily. You can go ahead and see it on
the video on rumble.com/kyle Seraphin.
Easy place to find it. I don't know why people want to
send us stuff, but I don't. I don't hate it.
I got a book yesterday that I'll be thumbing through.
We'll talk about it over on the call in show.
For those of you that are watching over on YouTube, if
you're new to this youtube.com slash at Kyle Serafin, you guys
can see it in 4K. You can see the box number and
our locals channel. Kyle serafin.com will now take
you to the main page. It won't take you to the
subscribe page. It takes you to the main page
with the information. So you can go there.
Also, Spotify if you want to share the show, Kyle
serafinshow.com. Make sure you've liked the video
at some point in time. Make sure you've left us a
comment. We appreciate that.
If you want to leave a five star view over an apple, I don't mind
that either. Really appreciate all of you
being out there. OK, today we're going to be
talking about the first 100 days because we're now we're on day
101, the historic moment. The fact of the matter is Donald
Trump sat down with someone from ABC and it went about the way
that you might expect. We've got a problem with
principles in this country. It's on the left, but it's also
on the right. And this morning I was motivated
by seeing a video, Jacob Wells, who's one of the founders, he's
the Co founder of Give Send Go, which is a program that I have a
little bit of knowledge of. I've spent several hours
speaking with him. We've given opportunities for
him to defend his position, which I think was highly
reasonable. And during that, most people I
think are convinced by the idea that good faith actors are in
fact acting in good faith. Some of you will not be
convinced. So I'm going to challenge some
of you today about your principles.
We're going to talk about raising money for the Carmelo
Anthony situation outside of Dallas.
I haven't really discussed it that much, mostly because I
don't want to give any fuel to that fire.
But we are going to talk about the principles of it because
there's something that's happening in the Texas House
right now. Both of these are Texas things,
talking about free speech, talking about basic fundamental
conservative principles, talking about things that that should be
really obvious to just Americans.
We should be able to agree on certain principles that we have
a, a rule of law which the left is suddenly discovered.
Let's see where you guys sit on that.
So that's what we're going to get into today.
And I and I, like I said, it is going to challenge a few of you
almost guaranteed. Before we get started with that,
let's talk about something else that could challenge you.
How about my friends over at Blackout Coffee?
We have been telling you about Blackout Coffee for a couple of
months now. Actually, I've got some right
here on the desk with me. This is my OGFBI like modified
thermos that I used to take when I was on surveillance.
It's one of the few things I do miss about doing the the Bureau
thing, waking up early and going and watching bad guys.
We've been telling you about a coffee company that gets you
started. If you haven't tried it, if you
haven't gone out and looked at blackoutcoffee.com/kyle, let me
give you a little a little take here.
It's a company built on hard work and grit and American
values. They've got a 64,000 square foot
warehouse that grew out of a home garage.
They've been roasting every bean in house, packing them all the
orders themselves, employing over 30 hardworking Americans
without corporate nonsense. It's just damn good coffee made
by people who give a damn. There's another cup right here
that I'm actually currently drinking.
All right, Blackout coffee isn't just about making a great cup of
coffee. What you're seeing on the
screen, that's how we do it everyday.
That is exactly the same picture that I used, by the way, the
French press like that. This is a company that supports
the American dream. You're supporting their American
dream and your American dream. Building a company the right way
with no shortcuts, no woke nonsense, no weak beans,
probably the way that you want to do your thing.
Working hard with real values and coffee.
That's going to get you moving. It's time to make the switch.
Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash Kyle.
We've got over 10 lbs in this house right now.
Promo code Kyle will save you 20% on your first order.
It's keeping the American dream alive.
Get some real coffee. Support a real coffee company.
Drink blackout coffee. Again, blackoutcoffee.com slash
Kyle. Don't drink wheat coffee.
Start your day out the right way and get started.
Let's get this show started as well.
And there it is. Some.
I'm actually drinking the blackout coffee right there as
we start. OK, so the first thing we're
going to talk about is something that I alluded to yesterday.
It's a failure to message properly.
This is what I see most broadly. People choose their heroes in
the information battle, in the information war.
Some people are going to choose Rachel Maddow.
They're going to choose Tucker Carlson.
They're going to choose Dan Bongino.
They're going to choose the unsubscribe podcast, which you
guys keep bringing up in the chat.
They're going to pick their winner and their loser.
They're going to say this is the person that best represents what
I think. ABCNBC, take your pick, Joy
Reid, maybe I don't know. And that person is going to be
their voice out in the world. It's going to be the thing that
they that they assign truth to and everybody else is full of
it. The scary thing is, is there's a
lot of money behind this thing. I'm looking at NBC News.
I saw this yesterday and, and what I was blown away with is
not just that we're seeing people on the political left.
That's going to be the NB CS, your AB CS, right.
It's people that have not just a a large microphone or a large
print audience, but also they have this really wild
perspective that is going to ignore simple facts and you
don't see any critical thought going into it.
That's what I try to do here. This is why we make enemies on
both sides of the aisle. I'm going to upset some of you
talking about Carmelo Anthony and the fact that I think give
send go has every right that they are in the correct position
allowing allowing money to be raised for someone that is
accused of murder. I'm going to tell you why in a
second. This story you're seeing on
here. Attorneys dispute the Trump
officials claim that deported mom willingly took their U.S.
citizen children with them when they were deported.
Now, the headline itself tells us a lot.
It's not the mom that's speaking out, right?
She probably doesn't even speak English.
It's the attorneys for the mom. And who are those attorneys?
They are attorneys in the United States that seem to raise money
and make money and do their business trying to protect
people that don't belong in this country, that had righteous
deportation orders. And now they're fighting to
what, keep the kids here? These attorneys in particular on
this particular story come from the National Immigration
Project. All of that is really wild.
Again, it's a manipulation of language.
This is not people who legally came to the United States and
are trying to stay here through legal means.
This is not like they came in, they applied for a visa, they
applied for a green card. They were approved for the visa.
They were waiting on the green card, and the United States just
got mean and threw them out. No, this is the National illegal
Immigration Project and the executive director has an
unrecognizable name to me. Shirine Shabaya Shyeba Shibaya.
Like I swear to God, I can't even pronounce the name of the
person who's running this. I saw a piece on in Canada the
other day too and they were talking about how the Canadian
it was, it was like a Canadian leadership forum and it was, I
think this was on actually on on Austin Fleckis's podcast, which
is one of my wife's favorites. If you guys have never seen
Flekas talks, Flekas talks, the original Flekas talks, walking
around and talking to wild leftists with a microphone taped
to the end of a spoon are some of my favorite memories of
sitting on a couch and watching early YouTube when they still
let conservative voices prosper over there.
They're starting to let it happen again.
But we would watch. He would go out and ask people
questions and they would just run into these words salad.
It's the same. It's the same problem in Canada.
They have the same issue that the United States does.
You've got people that are dishonest actors, in this case
the Canadian leader forum. I'm, I might be misnaming it a
little bit, but it's essentially something to that effect.
It was 3 Indian people who were arguing in favor of Indian
people being in Canada, with or without assimilation.
By the way, none of them indicate that they should be
assimilating to what the Canadian culture is the dominant
culture. Same thing in America.
We have that problem. And there was one Jewish guy,
his last name was Katz. And those are the people that
are apparently representing the Canadian Leadership Forum.
It's the same innocuous naming thing.
The National Immigration Project, if you were going to go
ask conservative people if you're going to ask people at
random in America, do you think that immigration is necessary
for the American experience to continue on?
Do you think it's it's reasonable to allow people into
this country? People go, yeah, yeah, of course
it is. We want to have people in this
country. We want people to be able to
come here. There's a there's a culture of
immigration that whole we are all immigrants thing, but
there's a difference. It's not the same immigration
that used to happen at Ellis Island where maybe your
ancestors came in. When those people came in, they
got stacked into tenement buildings in New York City and
they died. They died working themselves to
the bone trying to build this nation.
Now, maybe there was legal, maybe there wasn't the same like
legal immigration. The difference then and now is
the social safety net that we throw out today in the same way
that we played about Canada yesterday.
Illegal aliens, people coming into the Canadian culture are
costing them, let's say $3500 a month.
That's probably a low estimate, to be fair, more than they pay
their senior citizens. That probably is an accurate
estimate. We've played a little clip about
that. We're doing the same thing here.
We've created a social safety net, which we call entitlements,
and then we let people come in and they are not getting an
apples to apples comparison. It's a fundamentally dishonest
argument. I find it shocking that it's
attorneys who make money on this.
I found this in the whistleblower space too, folks.
Do you know that the whistleblowers, that the
whistleblower attorneys that are over at Empower Oversight who
have never represented me, Full disclosure, they've never helped
me out at all. Those people, the attorneys that
run there, Jason Foster, Tristan Levitt, whatever, they make
close to $200,000 a year. The people that they are
representing, the Garrido Boyles, the Marcus Allen's were
making $0.00. So there's good business in
representing a good cause. It turns out.
I'm not saying they're bad actors.
I'm just saying that they were making $200,000 a year as
attorneys and their business was obviously benefiting from the
fact that guys like me, we're going out there and speaking
loudly. That Gerardo Boyle was going out
on television. That Steve Friend is running his
own podcast. That we are keeping attention on
this 'cause there are a lot of people that are out in the
streets that are trying to advocate on behalf of illegal
aliens and good, you know, good on them.
You're allowed to have that opinion.
Even if we disagree in America, we should have free speech and
debate. But there's always people that
are making money behind it. And in this case, it looks very
interesting to me that there's an entire organization, a
national immigration project that has executive directorships
and CE OS, and a bunch of attorneys that are filing
lawsuits on behalf of a mother who has a 2 year old American
citizen that can't survive on his own or her own.
And they're out there tying up our courts with litigation
because their donors are going to give cash.
Isn't that interesting? It led me to this sort of like
dishonest representation of the 100 days.
Yesterday, I kind of briefly touched on it.
I wanted to see kind of how it developed.
Here's the crazy part, the 100 days for the first Trump
administration. It doesn't mean what it used to.
I was having a conversation with my dad because I I drove down
hour and and back to go pick up something, a used piece for my
truck 'cause that's the kind of guy that I am.
I'd rather save some money on a used piece of steel and bolt it
on my truck then go buy a brand new one that's shinier 'cause I
just don't care. We had a time in America where
having the 1st 100 days was the American people and the
representatives in Congress. They got together, they
coalesced and they said the American people have spoken in
this and the person that they want to represent that this is
the president of the United States, which used to mean
something a lot more than it does.
And because the American people spoke, we are going to pass the
agenda of this president. We are going to give them the
benefit of the doubt and we're going to let them do what it is
their their vision for America. They're going to propose bills
and we're going to move forward and basically pass it with some
debate in the 1st 100 days so that the American people can see
what it is that they elected. Because we had this good faith
agreement that even though we might not all agree on things,
we might not agree on who should be president, we agree on who is
president. And because that person was
elected, even if it's just by the slimmest of majorities, that
person gets 100 days to move forward.
That is not the the place we're in right now.
That 100 days, I guess Fox News had a countdown or maybe a
Newsmax had a countdown the other day, 100, you know, down
to the second. Oh, because they need an
artificial marker in time. The 1st 100 days, the Trump
administration means nothing. It's an arbitrary amount of
passage of time. It doesn't mean anything.
It's completely irrelevant at this point because he was
getting 51 to 49 passage of members of the cabinet.
We're going to talk about two different cabinet members today
who are mostly not being heard from the Department of the
Interior, the Department of Energy, who are quietly going
about doing the work that the Trump administration wants them
to do. They're not getting the
headlines like Pam Bondi. They're not sitting and doing
Hannity hits in the same way. Little, little bit of coverage
worthwhile, but it's troubling to me that we still have this
vestige that America is the same country that it was 50 years ago
or 30 years ago when the 1st 100 days meant something.
Here's a This is a story from CBS, how Trump's policies and
Project 2025 proposals match up after the first 100 days.
In other words, they're going to hold him accountable to try to
see did he do the things that he said he was going to do, By the
way, with a completely obstructionist second party?
It's not like they were like, yeah, we're going to give you
the benefit of doubt. Do what you want and then let
Americans decide in the midterms whether or not they want more of
this. That was that was the argument,
By the way. The argument was the president
does his first hundred day agenda and then the other, the
opposition party, if they don't like it, which they probably
don't, but maybe they want to work within the margins, they
get to see whether or not the American people are excited
about it. Here's the things that CBS
thought was worthwhile. Abolishing the Department of
Education, very polarizing issue in America.
Strong arguments for taking it back down to the state and local
level. Trump cited executive orders and
they've done some process to get rid of some of these people.
I think it's a good thing. Obviously the the other side
does not ending diversity, equity and inclusion.
You know, like these racist practices where you give people
an advantage simply because of the way they look.
That also seems like an old school thing that people would
have agreed with. Before the civil rights
legislation. It wouldn't have even been a
question. But somehow now we have this
world that has been propped up on this, this very sketchy
scaffolding where we can do discrimination as long as it's
on behalf of the right people. We talked about that yesterday.
You're welcome to listen to more of that.
I had a personal experience, which is very weird.
It's very weird to find out. Also, kind of a funny little
moment and an aside, My, my 2016 FBI Academy date, when I showed
up there, they gave this, this survey that was ridiculous on
its face because they'd already grabbed all my medical records.
I'd had to sign off on a approval.
So they pulled the mental health visit that I had when I was
exiting the Air Force. They went and got every single
medical record they could find at any hospital that I knew that
I had them, including all my military records.
And then they sent a questionnaire out from the human
resource department asking us to identify based on gender.
And I identified as female at that time, which I've agreed.
You know, that's just what I did.
That's what I felt like. I can't put myself back in that
moment. That didn't go anywhere, by the
way, because there was plenty of paperwork saying that I was a
male. So they just considered me a
male in 2016, in 2017, in 2018, and in 2019.
But in 2020, at the end of the Trump administration, when they
changed some of the rules that were going on inside the
administration in honor of the the Biden presidency coming in
before he was elected. By the way, interestingly
enough, the FBI suddenly started raiding me as a female.
So my last two fitness scores were scored against women.
And my boss actually called me into the office and said, hey,
man, there's something wrong. It looks like you're being rated
as a female. And I said, no, no, that's how I
identify. I've been identified that way
since I started. Just nobody ever cared.
Nobody ever gave a damn. Interestingly enough, that would
make me think as the first trans identified transgender
identified person to be removed from the FBI, you'd think that I
probably have an interesting civil rights case there, right?
I'm not, I'm not like I've said this on Twitter before.
I've but I don't think I've ever said on the podcast I have
paperwork my my final disciplinary paperwork from the
FBI says sex female. I never said my sex was female.
I just said my gender was and I actually said it was fluid when
my boss asked me. I was like, yeah, I just feel
like a female when I'm at work, but I feel like a regular dad
when I get home. Now that's pretty funny to some
of you looking at a guy sitting here with a beard.
But my last two FBI, what they call agent fitness tests AF TS
were scored against women and I was a top ranked female fitness
stud for whatever it's worth, as a 38 and 39 year old female
agent while at work. Anyway, the gender, the gender
diversity, equity inclusion programs should be eliminated.
I think there should be a single standard and it should be
related to your job. And so does Donald Trump.
So apparently CBS thought that was problematic there.
There was an interesting argument about FEMA that was
brought up in this article here, talking about whether or not
FEMA should even exist in the way that it does.
I think the argument that most conservatives should make and
should be able to hold on to is that what happened in in Western
North Carolina, what they showed, they being the people
inside the federal government who lean aggressively to the
left, is that if you are a likely Trump voter, then you're
not worthy of federal dollars doing the mission of that
agency, which should be totally nonpartisan and totally blind to
wherever the need is. So Trump said that it should,
should essentially go back towards the states.
That's what the states are for. Don't pull money out of the
states. The states will be able to
handle their own emergencies. I actually think that's a
really, really good argument. And they've been doing an
overhaul on there, which made people question whether or not
the agency will be able to deliver disaster relief.
We've already seen that they won't do it if the person in the
White House, if the people that are running the the
administrative end of these federal agencies decides that
they don't want to take care of the folks that are out there
that need it. So yet another thing, just like
the Department of Education, the people that are closest to you
should be the ones who actually take care of you.
That seems reasonable. CBS is upset about President
Trump targeting PBS and National Public Radio, which for some
reason, even though they can totally stand on their own
through leftist donations and advertising.
How many of you guys have ever listened to NPR?
I imagine some of you have. It's probably been a while.
But how many times do they do? At the end of every damn
segment, it's like, you know, this thing has been brought to
you by the following, you know, charitable foundations.
And it's all the Bill and the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation and the so and so, so and so and the open society
found it and all the different monies that want to support it.
There's tons of people that want to put money behind NPR and PBS.
Why is the American taxpayer paying for any of it?
Why do we have any? It should be spun off.
And Trump seemed to say, yeah, OK, you can stand on your own 2
feet. We just want to cut the federal
funding for it, freezing federal assistance, which is also
weaponized in many ways. The problem is, is that we
actually, in all fairness, spent apparently $220 billion more by
this point, at this point in Trump's term, as it happened
last year. So they're not actually cutting
money out of the federal government, lest you hear
anything else. And again, that's if you choose
your champion, you're hearing, well, Doge is going to cut $2
trillion. Oh, they're going to cut $200
billion. It's actually only going to be
$60 billion. Just kidding.
The numbers are that we actually spent more money than we did
previously. Trump has never been a
conservative guy, right? He's like a, he's like a 90s
Democrat and they believe in spending.
OK, fine. That's what people voted for.
Give it to him. I don't have to agree with it
and I won't. I don't like government
spending. I don't think government is a
good place for it. But it's worth knowing that the
people that are out there trying to cover down on this stuff,
they're not acting in honest space.
This is what ABC this is the viral clip running around about
Terry Moran. He's talking to Donald Trump.
Donald's like, I don't even know who you are.
That's what you're seeing on the screen here.
So we're going to play a little clip from that interview and
they want to focus in on the MS13 thing and they want to go
and disagree with the guy. They're poking him.
Look, they know they're going to get, they drop the coin in,
we're going to tell you that the MS13 picture that you had and
the tattoos are fake. And then I'm going to just act
like I don't know any better. I'm not an expert on this, but I
do have an opinion. This reminded me right away of
my father's statement to me about the news business, which
is the dangerous thing that happens when you pick your
heroes. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I've already got an opinion that is today's news media and they
and they masquerade as journalists over and over again.
Here's a little example of that. And just, and we're going to
basically the beginning of it is kind of irrelevant.
It's the end of it where we realize he's like, no, no, no,
no, I've said my piece, I want to move on.
It's almost like when you make an accusation in court and it's
and then there's an objection and the judge sustains it.
The jury still heard it. It may not be in the transcripts
because they strike it, but the words that you said that were
objected to were were actually out there and floated.
This is the same kind of tactic you're seeing here by this guy,
Terry. I think it's Morin it.
Wasn't a member of a gang. And then they looked and on his
knuckles he had Ms. There's. Wait a minute, wait a minute.
He had Ms. 13 on his knuckles tattoo.
He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way, but let's
move on. Wait a minute, Terry.
Terry. Terry.
He did not have the letter MS1. It says MS13 that was
Photoshopped, so let me do his Photoshop.
Terry, you can't do that. Hey, they're giving you the big
break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the
interview. I picked you because frankly, I
never heard of you, but that's OK.
But I picked you, Terry. But you're not being very nice.
He had MS13 tattoo. We'll agree to disagree.
I'll Terry. On to something else, Terry, do
you want me to show you the picture I saw the picture.
Will. Photoshop.
Here we go. Here we don't Photoshop.
But don't look at his hand. He did have tattoos that can be
interpreted that way. I'm not an expert on them.
I want to turn to Ukraine. I want to get to Ukraine.
No, no, no, he had Ms. as clear as you can be not interpreted.
This is why people no longer believe.
Well, the news because when photographs in Elsa in in El
Salvador, they aren't there. But let's just go.
He they aren't there when he's in Elsa.
They're there now, right? No, but they're they're in your
picture. Can you imagine doing this
interview? Like, first of all, he said he's
not an expert. Second of all, he wants to argue
about it. And yeah, he's got Trump saying
things that are not true at this point.
Like he didn't actually have the letters Ms. 1:00 and 3:00.
So it wasn't alphanumeric. They were symbols that
represented it. But it's been well established
by people who do gang work. But the thing that blows my mind
is an ABC journalist allegedly will put journalists in air
quotes is going to make the claim I'm not an expert.
But he already said what his opinion is.
It's important that we have people allowed to do that and
expose themselves for who they are.
It really is. We're going to do a little story
about free speech, which is an issue in Texas right now.
And it's going to, it's going to segue into the story about
whether or not you should be able to give your money to
support someone that you want to because they're all related.
We've, we've, we've lost this, this status, this historical
norm. It's the, it's the reason why I
showed you the piece about Pabloco Picasso yesterday.
We've lost it. There are certain things in
America where you're allowed to disagree.
You're supposed to be able to say your opinion no matter how
dumb it is, and then we're all supposed to be able to lampoon
you. By the way, anyone who thinks
that the mainstream media never, not ever went after Biden this
way isn't exactly correct. I've got a clip that I'm going
to play with you, which is something a little closer to my
heart. A person that I have spoken to
quite a few times and someone who I'd like to continue to
highlight the story about Tara Reid that I found a clip that
was running around talking about how Mika Brzezinski over on
MSNBC actually did hold Joe Biden's feet to the fire.
Because if there's one thing we find whenever you're in
conflict, if it's an old white guy versus a woman, the the
leftist hierarchy finds itself in trouble, particularly when
Joe Biden is out there and was the guy that he was.
Before we do, let's go ahead and pivot over to the folks that are
sitting on my desk right now with me, the the folks at
Patriot Coolers. It's at patriotcoolers.com.
The promo code is Kyle. There it is.
This is my 20 oz. And as I showed you, this is
what I used to roll with something very similar to this.
This actually is my old thermos from when I was in the Bureau.
When I used to work in the Bureau, by the way, I ripped off
the handle because it was too loud and I didn't want to.
If I got out with it and went somewhere like sat on a park
bench, I didn't want to call attention to myself with a
jangle. So I actually have a little
paracord handle here. That's how janky this thing is.
I've been using Patriot coolers basically since 20 October of
2017. This was before I even made it
over to a surveillance squad. It used to roll in to the office
with me. It sat in my briefcase.
It's something that I would sip coffee from when I was hanging
out working counterintelligence and bored out of my gourd.
The only thing that kept me awake was just like copious
amounts of coffee. And then it got to the point
where it rolled with me every time that I went on a trip to go
watch bad guys. And now it rolls with me
wherever I go. If I drive down, let's say to to
Kyle, TX to go pick up a a ranch hand grill for my truck, it
rolled with me as well. That's just how we do it now.
They're always with me. If you guys want a constant
companion that won't let you down as far as keeping your
beverage hot or cold, Patriot coolers is a great company to
look into patriotcoolers.com again, the promo code Kyle and
if you want one that is especially engraved with Kyle
Serafin slash suspendables colors here, let me grab the one
behind me is what they look like.
That's what's on the wall. If you guys have never seen it,
this is one of our logos. That's the last line sub stack
logo and our suspendables flag, which is a Betsy Ross with an S.
You guys can check those out and you can order them just like
this. You will not be you will not be
disappointed. They're a fantastic piece of
equipment and they come really well packaged.
It's just a good company in general.
I like when they I like when people actually consider all of
the piece like the the way that it's packaged as well.
How about people that are not considering all of it?
This is a slippery slope that we're going to play with.
You ready? I saw this on Texas Scorecard.
If you're not familiar with Texas Scorecard, if you live in
Texas, you should be following them.
They're pretty good conservative organization.
I've actually been in their building a few times.
We went and did some work with Catholic Vote down there.
They actually are are legitimately conservative people
that are concerned about the things that you ought to be
concerned with. And the thing that we have
mentioned in the title of today's show principles, they're
really only a problem if you have them.
It turns out if you don't have any principles, you got no
problems whatsoever. This is Dave Phelan, who's got a
bill. It's called HB 366, and the goal
of the bill is to stop deep fakes and parodies of
politicians. It's very self-serving.
It is a it is an attempt to criminalize satire, parody,
political effigy, and things that have been long held
American traditions that you can lampoon to the point of doing
SNL skits, pretending to be somebody to the point of in this
particular case, it sounds like Date is upset about a a program
that they do down in Houston called Drunk Date, a call in
program with Michael Berry. I've been on Michael Berry's
show before. They want to criminalize this.
Today we call them memes. It used to be called parody and
satire. It used to be called sketch
comedy and skits. The bill specifically targets
political advertising that might feature an image and audio
recording or video recording of an office holder or a
candidate's appearance, speech or conduct that did not in in
reality occur. In other words, deep fakes or
parody or even decent fake. And AI is getting scary good.
By the way, folks, I use a program called Riverside to do
our our interviews where that's where I record them.
And Riverside has AAI voice function right now that I played
with that I've never used before.
Last night I got my wife sitting in the interview chair.
We're doing some microphone testing 'cause we're gonna bring
some people in the studio today and talk about responses to
terrorism and multi site terrorism and what that might
look like from the law enforcement in the military and
the the EMS perspective. I think it's going to be a
really interesting conversation. We'll have it out for you in a
week or so. I got to put it together, but
we're doing a microphone test and there's this little thing on
the on the software that says, would you like to try our voice
AI program experimental. You just type something in and
it gives you a voice read back. And I went, oh, that's cool.
Yeah, like I'll do that. I thought it was going to be
just like a generic announcer voice.
So I type in a, a phrase. It's like, you know, thanks for
joining us on the journey. This is the first time you've
ever been here or something like that.
And I hit generate and it's 3 or 4 minutes later, it says, you
know, your clip is now ready and it plays it back at about 1.5 X
Kyle Seraphin speed, which is pretty fast to begin with.
But it sounded recognizably like my voice to the point where I
played it to my wife who's sitting there listening on the
headphones. And she's like, Oh my God.
She goes, what? When did you say that or
something like that? Or she was like, I said, that's
AI. She goes, no, no, no, it's not.
I go, yeah, I never said that. I literally typed it in while
you were sitting there. She was on her phone.
It sounds enough like me that my wife thought it was me.
My wife, who has been listening to me speak for decade and a
half. That's kind of troubling.
That's how good this stuff is. That doesn't mean you don't have
a First Amendment liberty to do that.
Fort Worth attorney Tony McDonald, who specializes in
First Amendment litigations, blasted the measure, saying,
quote, it's amazing that this ridiculous bill is the top
priority of the Texas House in their most powerful committee.
This bill's obviously unconstitutionally would
criminalize protected speech on the basis of its content.
Right. And by the way, how did they
introduce it and do the vote? This is what it looked like when
they were voting to move this measure out of committee and put
it forward for them to be able to to actually vote on it on the
House floor in Texas. This is the mundane stuff.
This is why politics is not sexy.
And the things that gets voted on there, it's like, you know,
how did our Republic die? Yeah, just to these quiet little
like gavels and and ayes and nays.
This is what it looks like in Texas.
This is Mr. Phelan to explain the bill.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker HB366 is a step towards transparency and
integrity in political advertising.
Move passage. Question occurs on passage to
engrossment. Question occurs.
The question occurs on passage to engrossment of HB 366.
Record vote has been requested. Record vote is granted.
The clerk will ring the bell. Show Mr. Moody voting aye.
So Miss Jones of Harris voting aye.
Have all members voted? Have all members voted?
There being 106 ayes and 39 nays.
HP 366 is passed to engrossment clerk.
So it's overwhelmingly passed with that little bell and that
little Ding and they just voted to say that you, you are going
to do an attack on free speech. Isn't that wild?
It's truly troubling to me that people who are supposedly
conservative that are supposed to have principles are willing
to do that. It's going to play into the
story this Jacob Wells, this give send go in just a moment
because either you believe that we are Americans and we can we
can have fundamental civil liberties or not.
You should be able to question politicians.
You should be able to make fun of them.
You should be able to lampoon them.
You should be able to get answers from them.
Here's that little thing I was telling you.
If you hear that the mainstream media has never once questioned
Joe Biden, they only will when it actually fits their agenda.
The people on the left. And this is the one where it's
really hard for them to deal with it because woman equals
higher on the hierarchy than useful idiot old white male who
is a leftist. This is Mika Brzezinski
basically holding Joe Biden's feet to the fire.
I'm only highlighting this again because there are times when
people should have to answer questions and we don't have the
whole story. So, you know, why did they not
continue and and look into this thing?
You'll notice this. This was not a main feature of
Donald Trump's campaign because he has his own issues with
women. Apparently the guy lived a
different very, a very different life.
Is not a politician. He lives as a like a rich
Playboy all the way through the 80s.
That's who he was. Joe Biden has been a politician
for basically his entire life. This should have been a bigger
issue held up. But again, people are scared of
scrutiny. That's what we're supposed to
do. You're supposed to expose things
and let people decide. Here's Mika Brzezinski just like
hammering Joe Biden, by the way, whenever he says, look, that's
his tell that he's about to lie to you.
That's just my take on it. I'm supposed to be able to have
that take. I'm supposed to be able to
allowed to say that I think Joe Biden lies right when he says,
come on, man. Or look, I'm absolutely sure,
why not? Why not approve a search of her
name in those records? Approve a search of her name,
Yes. And reveal anything that might
be related to Tara Reid and the University of Delaware records.
There is nothing they wouldn't they're, they're not there.
And if they if it's I, I, I, you know, I don't understand what
you're the point you're trying to make.
The point I'm trying to make is, by definition, the point I'm
trying to make is that you are approving and actually calling
for a search of the National Archives records of anything
pertaining to Tara Reade. I'm asking why not do the same
in the University of Delaware records, which have raised
questions because they were supposed to be revealed to the
public and then they were sealed for a longer period of time.
Why not do it for both sets of records?
Because the material in the University of Delaware has no
personnel files. It has, but it does have a lot
of confidential conversations that I had with the president
about a particular issue that I had with the heads of state of
other places that that would not be something that would be
revealed while I was in public office or while I was seeking
public office. It just stands reason, the best
of my knowledge. No one else has done that
either. I just in a way she hammers it,
by the way, it's really awkward. I'll put it out on social there.
How about the story of Tara Reid?
That's another story that depending on what you believe in
advance, you already have an opinion.
Democrats said that she was a liar even though she was a
Democrat. People on the right suddenly
were like, oh, like, well, we we agree with her because she
doesn't like Joe Biden. And the facts lay somewhere in
the middle as usual. As usual, people who have
opinions and have some vested interest in it, you should be
skeptical of all of it. That's where I want to get to
the story about what's going on with give send go.
I thought actually was put to head, but apparently it's come
back up. And I say that because Fox News
ran an entire article. This is coming from Fox News
this morning. Co founder of gifts and go is
not proud, quote UN quote not proud to host a fundraiser for
alleged track meet murder suspect says some donors are
quote UN quote wrong. That's a kind of a crap headline
too. So here's the deal.
Jacob Wells is going to come on and do a program with us.
We're going to do a special live stream with him where I'm going
to throw the phone number out on X.
We're going to throw it out on YouTube.
We're going to throw it out on Rumble, throw it out all the
places we have and anybody can call in and talk with him.
But I'm going to give you what they're they they he did a
longer sit down. It's over on YouTube as well.
You guys can find that clip if you like.
I'm going to give you a longer discussion about this, but it's
very simple about principles. Either you believe in a country
that has rule of law and free speech and free debate and the
ability to share information and try to suss out what is true, or
you don't. It's amazing how polarizing a
video can be. This video has people saying
he's a scumbag. I'm going to play the video.
We're going to, we're going to go and listen to kind of his own
words. We're going to dissect what the
article says. And then I'm probably going to
challenge you because some of you are not going to like this.
There will always be people for the wrong reasons.
I mean, on, on any campaign, there are people that there are
people that believe that the best way forward is racial
division. That's what they believe.
And so they're going to stoke the fame, the flames of racial
division however they can. And people do that all the time.
That's just the prerogative of living or, or the let's say, not
even say penalty. But when you live in free
societies, which we do, there is a price to pay.
And that is it allows for some people to do things that might
not be good. And I think people do that all
the time. They like the death threats that
we have or, or, or just even saying nasty things to people
like, well, that's your prerogative.
I don't think that's a good thing.
But do you think you're building society by by cussing and
swearing and being derogatory to people?
Like, no, I don't think many people would agree with that.
But yet we have freedom to do it.
And so there are people that think that's the best way
forward. And I, I don't, I don't find any
validation in that in the real world as far as making a
positive difference. I think it just adds more fuel
to the fire. And I think they're happy with
that because that's what they want.
Pretty straightforward stuff. If you have principles and you
live by them, you are going to upset people on both sides.
I believe that Joe Biden should actually be allowed to say
whatever it is that he wants to say.
I think Donald Trump should be able to say whatever it is he
wants to say. I think journalist job may be to
question, but not to argue and disagree.
Their job should be to trust the audience to understand what is
true and what is not true. Some people are going to cheer
on what Donald Trump says no matter what it is, even when
it's against their own interest or against their own principles,
because they've decided Donald Trump is more important than
principles. Some people will do the same
thing with Joe Biden. In the case of this kid, there
are, I'm going to divorce two things real quickly.
There's what I think would happen in my case if I'm the
father of some boy who's been stabbed, if my child was
stabbed, I don't think the outcome is going to be very
good. I I think it would be bad for my
eternal soul. I'll be very honest with you
about that. My buddy and I had a a
conversation. It's like I respect the living
hell out of the father. This guy, Austin Metcalf, sorry,
Austin Metcalf's father. I respect him because I think
sometimes God gives us strength that that is inhuman.
Because if somebody admitted to stabbing my child to death, the
homicidal rage that I would feel would not be professional.
It would not be balanced and would not be good for my family.
I think it would probably tear me apart.
And sometimes there are people who experience the same thing,
that we can put ourselves in that shoe and say I would tear
that person limb from limb with everything I have not, not like
some sort of sterilized execution.
I'm talking about visceral, disgusting things that would
damage you forever. You would never be right and you
probably would go to hell for it.
So that could be true. But I respect the fact that as a
country, we can't have that. That's not what America is.
America said. The way we founded our country
is we outsourced vengeance in a Christian way.
By the way, we outsourced vengeance to the state.
And we call it something else because we've removed the
emotionality of the parties that are involved.
We call it justice. We say you must pay for your
crime, but we don't do it with the emotion that a person who
has, who is an interested party might be.
The state is supposed to be an apolitical, disinterested
arbiter of what is right and what is wrong and whether or not
we are, as a society, are going to tolerate somebody who
represents danger to us. So we can feel very, very
aggressive about something. And yet we don't try our cases
with members of the family, right.
Would that disqualify you from a jury if you were a family member
of, let's say, the accused or the victim?
Of course it would if you have an interest in it, if the judge
has an interest in it, if the attorneys have an interest in
it, we call that a conflict of interest.
And so you can't be part of the system because our system only
works and it doesn't work that perfectly, obviously, but it
only works if we actually outsource justice instead of
having personal vendettas. The difference between the
society that we have. There was a, a really
interesting podcast I listened to with Joe Rogan talking about
it. And it's essentially the
difference between herding cultures and agrarian cultures.
Herding cultures are about honor.
Because if you were to steal my animal, and this is before
branding and before any other way that we're identifying
marks, you could steal my animal with impunity.
And the only way that I could keep you from stealing my animal
is by being scary enough that if you stole my animal, the things
that would happen to you would stop you from ever wanting to do
that. In other words, I would kill you
brutally. If that's the case, then we have
this society where you go, OK, fine.
The biggest and the strongest people are the only ones who get
to actually accumulate wealth because they're the only ones
who can physically protect it. An agrarian society is a little
different. The way that theft happens.
And this is, again, this is the, the conjecture of this, this Joe
Rogan podcast that let's do, which I found fascinating.
And I think if you get to a very, very simple level,
historically speaking, it makes sense When you're an agrarian
society, an Agricultural Society, there's a couple things
that happened. 1 is delayed gratification, which means you
plant today so that you could harvest sometime in the future.
And the way that you grow and you and you maintain wealth is
by having property that bears fruits.
And the way to steal from that person, you could steal from the
crop, but more appropriately, you'd be able to steal from
their land. And you take the mechanism, the
means by which they produce things.
You move boundary stones, you move the markers, you claim
territory that is not yours. And the only way that we keep
from killing each other over those territories is outsourcing
vengeance, justice. We outsource it to the state,
whatever the state may be, whether it be a local state,
whether it be a state, state in the in, you know, like so our
local government, our state governments or our federal
governments. You outsource that thing.
If you take the time to take it in front of some sort of system
of justice, you cannot, you cannot have posses and vendettas
that are carried out on your own grounds.
So here's where it happens, right here.
Gibson Go Co founder, not proud. This is another article.
This is coming from the the New York Post.
They said some donors are wrong. The fact of the matter is what
he said in reality was you can do anything you want.
You can put your money behind whoever you want.
We don't have to agree with you, but we are not a court of law at
Gibson Go. The left loves to do this sort
of thing. They love to cancel people and
prejudge. Here's where I will challenge
you right now. Real simple.
Was Kyle Rittenhouse guilty of murder?
Did he murder people? Because people on the left
thought so before the trial. They still think so after the
trial, after he was acquitted. This is a problem, folks.
Daniel Penny, you remember him? Subway New York held a man.
The guy was actually breathing when he got up.
That was a murder according to those on the left that hated
him. And they stoked racial division.
Should they be able to raise money because the left tried
them in the port court of public opinion and found them guilty in
the same way that this young man who by the way, I have no
sympathy for what's going on, he's going to go through.
He most likely did the dumbest thing you could possibly do from
what we can understand. But I don't have all the facts
and neither do you. The things that I do understand
is he was standing in a tent. He was told to move, he decided
not to move and killed someone over it.
And now he's going to spend the rest of his life because I'm
confident that if the facts line up with the way that we've heard
it in the public, that he will be convicted.
And if he's convicted, he's going to spend the rest of his
life being told to move and being forced to move by the
United States prison, you know, industrial complex, the the
state prison system in Texas, which is none too friendly.
So he will move on someone else's say so for the rest of
his life because he didn't move one time.
Fine. That's what will happen, but I
don't get to decide it, and you don't get to decide it.
That's what we have a court for. And even though we don't think
that they're perfect, our court systems, they're as good as
we've got, lest we descend into complete chaos.
Do you want honor killings? Do you want people going after
and saying, well, you did this thing, so now I will end your
life? The escalation.
That's what the Middle East is look like.
It doesn't look like a place I want to live.
It looks pretty problematic to me.
So although we have a very imperfect system, either you
believe that we outsource vengeance in the form of justice
or you don't. And if you want to cancel people
while crying about cancel culture, you need to look at
yourself and understand where your principles are.
People have the ability to give money.
No one's taking your money and saying that you have to fund the
defense of Carmelo Anthony. Nobody is.
Nobody is saying that about race per SE, although the culture
that we're in right now seems to be moving that.
This is this is a meme that you're seeing on the.
Political right, by the way, clean cut kid giving up, holding
up the I love you sign with a cross on and then a young black
kid who's like holding the lighter in the middle finger up
and holding an AK like a Draco pistol or something.
I guess that's a long barreled. Pistol.
I don't know. What the hell?
Is going on there because it doesn't seem like it has a
stock. Maybe it's got a folding stock?
It's not about race necessarily, except that there.
Is some money to be made in race?
There are a lot of people that are click baiting you into
feeling something, but at the end of the day you either have
to go back to foundational principles or you don't if you
believe. That we actually.
Do have a system, however, in Perfect, I guess that's better
than the alternative, which is that we all just go out and do
whatever we feel like it. If you want to live in a chaotic
land where there is no government, where there's no
outsourcing, and we're all just whoever the strongest people are
and the best coalitions of the strong survive, OK, That's what
I told you the danger was when we were looking at whether or
not we are going to have an election.
I call it Western, right? The government is too small, too
far and doesn't have the ability to actually affect what's going
on. So it's just up to us.
That's a dangerous place for women.
It's a dangerous place for children.
It's a dangerous place for businesses.
If we're going to engage in the game of.
We don't like what you stand for.
We've already made-up our mind just like that.
That journalist, quote UN quote, journalist from ABC.
Don't confuse me with the facts. By the way.
Do all of you have the facts of what went on in that tent?
Have you been part of the police investigation?
Have you interviewed? Have you read every interview?
Did you listen to all the audio of the interview?
Did you watch them? Because each one of those people
who were interviewed have some things written down in words.
How many of you have read something and then heard someone
say something and seen something different?
It happens. The fact the matter is that they
will get to some answer and it is a local.
Crime Story, but. The national outrage at people
raising money for him, apparently he's raised about
half, $1,000,000. And according to Jacob Wells,
they haven't even taken any disbursement of that money to
pay for the legal fees. Either you have principles or
you don't. Either you.
Believe that people have a right to all the things that it says
that we have in the Constitution or you don't.
If you want to make up your mind based on what you've read.
In the media sources that you've chosen, like this person
represents me. So therefore I believe what that
person says. I guarantee you you don't know
all the facts. None of you are going to be
called to testify and as unless you let me know otherwise, like
I'm sure I'll get a comment. Some people tell me that they
were at the track meet or something.
We have a Texas audience, but if you were not.
At the track meet if you. Were not part of the people that
were in the tent. If you were not one of the
police officers who did the interviews, then do you really
know the story and can you really sit in judgement of
another human being based on what somebody has presented to
you? We already know that the story
is curated, so you let the guy raise.
Money. No.
One's taking your money the end of the day.
Does it make that much of a difference?
I don't think it does. I think all the money in the
world is not going to change the fact patterns because although
we don't have a perfect system of justice, we're closer than
not. We're a lot.
Closer than not, and we definitely shouldn't.
Be going after platforms that say we have principle.
The principle is as long as you are not raising money to commit
a crime, we will allow you to raise money to defend yourself
against allegation that you did commit a crime.
There's a big difference there the right has made.
This out to be like we're raising.
Money. They're raising money for a race
based murder. That's what it's been told.
And that is fundamentally unfair because for all of you who think
that that is the case, I again, I'll raise you.
They also let people raise money for, for Luigi Maggiano, the guy
who allegedly killed the, the CEO of United Healthcare.
I challenged Jacob at that time. I said, hey, are you really
letting people raise money for that?
And he said, we don't, we don't pass judgment before a court of
law does. And I went, well, fair play.
Yeah, that is the right answer. It's the opposite of what the
left will do. We need more of that.
And as you said, you can have all kinds of nefarious purposes.
But just like this bill in Texas, where they don't like the
idea of memes that make fun of politicians, when you start
censoring people, when you start putting out your judgment
without all the facts or you try to stop what you call bad
speech, you are now in the same the same boat as all the
totalitarians on the political left that have done it.
The the right is not without any guilt in this.
It's not good. And there are actual real
problems going on in this world right now that are being fixed
quietly. It turns out the things, what
are they? What are they?
The whoever talks the most eats the least.
I think that's something we can. Consider for all of the folks.
That are out there in the in in our our cabinet level positions
apparently. Apparently Bondy was out on
Hannity again last night. No arrests, no Epstein files, no
pipe bomber named right. How about the people that are
getting the work done? I didn't see any of it in the
100 days coverage, although I saw a tiny little touch of it on
some of the the lesser seen news stations.
So I want to play two things. This is kind of an interesting
little exchange with Chris Wright and he is on with CNBC,
which is semi less partisan. It's an NBC affiliate but or an
NBC company, but they tend to do more business stuff.
He's talking about something that seems truly important.
The fact that America's position in the world was weakened not
because of political rhetoric, because of actual coverage that
nobody cared about. They were selling out our
strategic petroleum reserves. Do you guys remember this?
They'll distract you with one thing here.
Pay attention to the shiny object.
Daniel Penny, Luigi Maniano, Kyle Rittenhouse, Carmelo
Anthony. Pay attention to that thing.
Don't pay attention to the fact that 10s of millions, hundreds
of millions, 10s of billions of dollars are being squandered to
basically prop up public opinion polls of the doddering guy that
was walking around and the human Roomba that was occupying the
White House with really bad policy.
That actually does affect you because it's your money.
You actually don't have that much at stake other than justice
should be served. We should have a system that
outsources vengeance. That's what your stake in this
is. Unless you are a family member,
and most of you probably are not, but you all.
Have a stake in how this country.
Like handles national security and whether or not we have
strategic petroleum reserves and whether or not our military is
working properly. How about Chris Wright talking
about this? They are rebuilding this on the
sly quietly. This should be something that
would be very important for us to recognize regarding whether
or not the 100 days were successful.
They're undoing damage that was done by the guy that, you know,
again, allegedly, depending on what side you're on, had a
sexual assault and encounter with Tara Reid.
Either you believe that or you don't.
The truth is. Somewhere in the middle there.
And we didn't actually figure out what it was all right.
Here's Chris Wright talking about.
Strategic Petroleum Reserves, which actually is a national
security threat and something that quietly got sort of just
swept under the rug as the Biden administration sold us out on
that is the price right enough, pun intended, I suppose.
Mr. Secretary to refill the strategic.
Petroleum Reserve right now. Oh, absolutely, we are
refilling. The reserve now, and we will
continue to refill the reserve the whole time I'm in office.
You know, that was just such an irresponsible action to drain
that reserve so quickly for electoral reasons.
And in fact, it was drained so fast, it did some damaging to
the facilities. And so right now we only can
fill two of the four major salt caverns we have.
So we're doing repair work on the other two, We're slowly
filling the the other two. And I'm trying to get some funds
through Congress that'll give us a longer term runway to fill the
fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at the fastest rate we
can. That seems like something that
should have been a big issue. We drained all of our our
reserves and we damaged our storage facility to the point
where we couldn't actually do anything about it.
Interesting. It did get a little bit of
attention. Doug Bergum, Department of
Interior Secretary, talking about gas prices coming down and
filling these things up. And, you know, sort of the way
that it worked under the bite administration.
It's amazing. Whenever anything good happens,
every administration always claims it was because of them.
Whenever anything bad happens, they always claim it was because
of the previous administration. What's interesting is when
something good is going on and someone doesn't celebrate it.
I found this to be quite illuminating because again, if
people already come from a preconceived notion about what
is good and what is bad and whether or not drilling for oil
as they drive around their cars and wear their North Face
jackets, if they think that oil is bad, then they won't even
celebrate a victory, which means that the previous administration
gets to claim the victory. This is a kind of a funny little
exchange which kind of tells you about bias.
Isn't it fun when CNN admits what the bias is and what people
will and will not cover? And this is a little taste of
that as well. Yeah.
We did see oil production at an all time high under under
President Biden. He didn't tout it that often,
but Secretary did because of the permitting that happened under
President Trump. I mean, all time record oil
production under Biden was because of Trump.
It was in spite of Biden. I was running.
I was running a state that was a natural resources state.
We were fighting the federal government.
Federal government wasn't even holding the legally required
lease sales during the Biden administration.
First president since Harry Truman was Biden that didn't
hold those lease sales. So for them to take credit, that
was all because, well, they didn't take credit because it
wasn't very popular with their their voters.
Secretary portable electricity is, is popular with everyone and
America needs to make sure we don't lose the thing.
I mean, take a look what's happening in Europe right now
with this 60 million people in a brownout blackout.
We came very close to that happening in America because
we've the Biden administration policy so dangerously eroded
base load in favor of having unreliable intermittent sources.
And so we're, we're just fortunate that we're not where
Europe is right now and we don't want to go there.
Germany spent a half a trillion dollars to go chase a green path
and they ended up with electricity that cost three
times as much and they're producing 20% less.
That seems like a straightforward.
Admission on there that we're not going to talk about things
that are really important to national security that are in
fact national news that actually have to do with every single
person's pocketbook on whether or not they can afford to fill
their gas, which means that they can go grocery shopping, go to
their job and so on because it's not popular with the base, she
said. They're voters, so we.
We're we've moved into this era. Where the president doesn't look
at the office, and especially the people in the Democrat side
of it, didn't look at the office as being a present for all
people. He looked at it as being the
president for the people that voted him in.
Maybe that's why our 100. Days don't mean anything.
Anymore. And maybe that's why it is so
important that we maintain this thing about free speech and not
give in. Censorship on one side or the
other is always going to be problematic.
Either you have principles and then you get to have America or
you don't have principles and you don't get to have anything.
We just end up in this stupid tribal, you know, knocking a
ping pong Paul back and forth where we're going to do nothing
but executive orders and nothing gets accomplished.
The best thing that the the Congress could accomplish right
now is actually just repealing things left and right and, and,
and divesting it down to the lowest possible level.
That's my take on it. I think it's really important
that we do that. And and again, if you want more
evidence, I saw this a couple days ago.
I've been kind of sitting on it. If you want evidence that there
is no honesty coming out of these main news outlets, which
is why they keep losing and hemorrhaging, you know,
viewership. It looks like this Everybody
says the same word that means what it?
What was the old expression that says if everybody has the same
idea then somebody is not thinking that these?
Talking points get marched out on the left.
And on the right, that's what propaganda looks like.
They're coordinated. And then you get a bunch of
people that jump in because they want to be part of the in crowd.
They don't want to be separated from their friends.
Whether or not they're getting paid or not is irrelevant.
You keep seeing this. We used to call it, we used to
just call it peer pressure. We used to call it things like
Mockingbird media. You hear people using the word
information operation. Propaganda has lots of different
names for you don't have to actually have an operation per
SE for people to be engaged in an information op.
And covering up for the DOJ and the and the and the the sort of
ineffective nature of FBI transform has been one of those
things that I've been watching acutely.
Watch the voice that go out and are they all have something to
say about it. Watch this escalation piece
again. The right is just as guilty.
I'll try and find we don't have as good a people putting
together these clips of of our own side, quote UN quote, our
own side, which is what I always get accused of calling out.
I still see it though. I can go find you dozens of
people posting and making strong statements that are using the
exact same terminology. We saw it with the binders
thing, right? This is the left doing it,
talking about the escalation and the chaos of the Trump
administration as they slowly are doing undoing the damage
that got done. Check this out.
We begin tonight with the escalation in the president's
crackdown on illegal immigration.
Today's dramatic escalation in the Trump administration's
conflict with judges. The Trump administration
signaling a major escalation in its deportation efforts today,
an escalation in the Trump administration's battle with the
judiciary. Tensions between local and
federal authorities over President Trump's immigration
crackdown escalated today. We begin this hour with a major
escalation of the Trump administration's crackdown on
immigration. As we begin with what appears to
be a major escalation in the Trump administration's
deportation efforts and what is a major escalation in the
battles here in DC over immigration and deportation.
This feels like a insane and reckless escalation from the
Trump administration arresting a judge.
I will tell you, you are not alone.
Is a dramatic escalation, more aggressive moves, more
escalation. Trump's escalation of his
migrant purge, this kind of escalatory action.
This is a dramatic escalation, escalation, escalation,
escalation in an immigration, an
escalation, an escalation. Yeah, kudos to Western Lensman.
For putting that little clip together.
How fun is that escalation? Get marched out.
OK, fine. How about principles that would
be good. What if we just de escalated
just a little bit? The thing that the left always
wants to say that police officers should be doing.
How about de escalating and and and looking at facts?
It's not a thing that people necessarily want to do is what
it is. All right.
The fact is, is you should be able to have your own opinion
and it doesn't have to agree with everybody else's.
That is the America I want to live in.
That is the divorcing as you guys just said on the chat from
the hive mind that someone else doesn't get to tell me what is
and is not an appropriate opinion we should all be able to
make. Up our own minds, that means
you. Have to go out there and find
good sorts of facts, and you should be a skeptic, which is
something we constantly say here, be a skeptic.
Consider the source, pound it against principles.
If you want to know whether or not it makes sense, find the
thing that you are most interested in believing.
Whatever it is, it fits all of the things that you believe
deeply and then challenge yourself by asking what what
would be an alternative? What would be a mirror that I
could hold this thing up to? For every Carmelo Anthony,
there's a Daniel Penny, right? For every Luigi Maggiano killing
with a gun, there's a Kyle Rittenhouse story.
There are plenty of examples, so it's worth all of us looking at
that and again, challenging our underlying assumptions, which is
that we think we know the answer when in fact maybe we don't have
all the information. And in the cases of stuff like
this, we definitely don't. All right, one last little thing
here that I thought was interesting.
We did a Sunday special sitting with Andy Scheckman.
I think you guys probably learned something watching that.
One of the things that he mentioned talking about the, the
tariffs, they were apparently they're not being talked about
right now. I'm not hearing any tariff
crying. Not I've I've watched every
mainstream main site. They have moved on from that.
They're now crying about judges because it's the new, you know,
outrage du jour. But the United States economy
going into reverse in the first quarter, new GDP data shows.
Remember, if you listen to what Andy said, and Andy watches
money and wealth and does it for a living, and he's moved $12
billion worth of precious metal. So he's actually seen quite a
bit of stuff going on. What he sees is the only way
that the tariff fight works is if you go through the long haul
on the other side, and that is going to mean some reversals,
you're always going to end up with austerity, which means that
the numbers are going to be bad. That's going to be something
Donald Trump doesn't necessarily like because he likes to be able
to message positivity all the time there.
There has to be an understanding that when you do things that are
irresponsible, like drain the strategic petroleum reserves,
then there's going to be a build back process and it usually cost
you something. In the same way, if you guys go
and you know, spend all of your money, your your rainy day fund,
then it takes you a while where you have to tighten your belt
for a bit and not go on, let's say a vacation or buy things
that you want. You actually have to tighten
things up. And so the United States economy
reversing in the first quarter, which was something that CBS
pulled out, that's expected and it should actually continue for
a while. One would expect that.
In any case, that's where I'm sitting today.
I'll remind you guys, this is a one man show.

Look forward to doing more of this stuff again tomorrow
already Thursday coming up. I guess that's good and I'm
going to we put together something really interesting for
you guys. We're going to be talking about
the possibility of a multi site trained Mumbai style terrorist
attack in the United States. There was some messaging going
out that 1200 known terrorists have been identified as running
around in the USI think the number is probably a lot more
than that. Those are the ones that we can
keep track of. So don't be surprised when we
have a pretty interesting little conversation coming your way.
It's going to take a little bit of work, but we'll try to keep
you guys informed here as usual and challenge our own
