Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, 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.
Today is Tuesday, it is June the 24th.
See some of you out there in the chat in the mornings.
I see some of you out there giving me a hard time trying to
say Seraphin time is a little bit delayed.
Let me just tell you a little bit about Seraphin time today.
I'm pretty excited about a couple things.
Number one, for the first time in my life, at least that I can
remember, we legitimately have people looking to run the
biggest city in America, the marquee place that if you were
outside of the United States and you said what is the
quintessential American city, you wouldn't know.
You wouldn't be right, obviously, but they would say
New York City. Funny little story.
I had some folks that were Indian immigrants going to
medical school in Texas. I one time met them with a buddy
of mine who graduated from Med school and they were all going
through the residency together. And I sat down with them and I
said, you know, where are some places you visited in America?
And they said, well, we went to New York City and they went to
Miami and maybe they went to Chicago.
And I said, well, have you been to Texas City?
And they said no. And I said, well, what New York
City is to New York, Texas City is to Texas.
You guys really, you really ought to go check it out.
And so they did. I got a phone call later from my
buddy found out that these folks went to Texas City, which is
essentially just one big oil refinery.
It's not really a city at all. It's kind of one of the, it was
kind of a, a gross joke. I didn't realize they were
actually going to go there. I kind of hope they would and
they did. So that's kind of fun, but New
York City is going to try communism, socialism, legit
socialism, government ownership of not just the means of
production, but distribution. They're going to try to do 1980s
seventies grocery stores like the the USSR had.
It's pretty cool to look at it. It's pretty fun to do a little
reflect that 100 years ago in this country in the 1920s, there
was a push for that kind of thing too, Organized labor.
What if we could just nationalize the means of
production? What if we let the government
take over? So New York City is in a real,
real tough spot because they've done ranked choice voting.
And I'm going to do a little bit of time on it.
I am by no means a New York City policy expert, but I am
fascinated with New York City in a way that you might be
fascinated with something that you hate, because I really don't
like New York. I've never liked it.
If you're from New York, this is your last probably wake up call
because your options for mayor of the city of New York are so
bad, so stupid. You're on the 100 year cycle and
you guys are at the forefront, the leading edge of the wave of
retardation. When the options that are in
front of you are in front of you, you have your former failed
governor running. You've got that guy that was
crying outside of an ice raid that sounded like a little whiny
girl who got in handcuffs because he was trying to help
Eduerto. And then you got this Muslim
dude who wants to wants to have city run grocery stores.
That sounds like a brilliant idea.
Just absolutely fantastic. So that's what's coming up next.
Let's get started with somebody who is not a freaking commie
socialist junk bag. Here we go.
Let's talk about my friends over at Blackout Coffee.
I had plenty of it this morning. It didn't even feel as strong as
it should. Maybe it's me.
Blackout coffee folks, you can go to blackoutcoffee.com slash
Kyle. Not only do we run fresh ground
up beans every morning here in the Seraphin House French press,
but we also have the option for their freeze dried instant
coffee, which is actually quite good as well.
You never know when you might just need to throw not a whole
pot on, but just a single cup to get you through the rest of your
afternoon. We've been telling you about
blackout coffee for several months now.
If you haven't tried it, we're going to break it down once
again. It's just not another coffee
company. They come in a black and white,
kind of like the way that you want your mornings to start off.
Just give me the facts and the details.
It's about hard working Americans.
They have values like grit. Putting it together, they built
themselves up from a small warehouse or a small grocery
garage rather not grocery store. I got that on the brain.
They got a small garage into massive warehouse roasting all
their beans, as you guys could probably see on the screen if
you're watching us. They now have over 30 hard
working Americans employed with no corporate nonsense, just damn
good cup of coffee. People who actually care about
putting out a good product. When you open up the bag, you
know that smell. It smells like it's about to be
alertness entering your bloodstream.
Blackout coffee is not just another great cup of coffee.
They're also supporting the American dream.
They built the company the right way.
No shortcuts, no woke nonsense, no weak beans.
They do not, they do not work against your political values,
which is nice. They actually have solid work
ethic and they're making something quality.
If you want to make the switch to blackout, go to
blackoutcoffee.com/kyle My name. The promo code Kyle will save
you 20% on your first order. Figure out what you like, figure
out how much you want and how fast it goes.
And then for those of you that are out there drinking that
flavored coffee, let me know what's going on with that.
I think you guys might be the reason why there's communists on
the ballot in New York City. I'm giving you a hard time.
Drink real coffee. Drink American coffee.
Drink blackout coffee, not comedy stuff. blackoutcoffee.com
slash Kyle, don't drink wheat coffee.
Start your day off the right way.
Let's get started off this show. Here we go.
All right, all right, all right, All right.
OK. So I got a handful of little
stories that we're going to get into.
We're going to work our way up to the main event, to the main
course, which I think is quite fun.
Obviously there's some stuff going on globally that we should
probably be talking about. There's some interest in what's
happening with the ceasefire. Yesterday.
I wanted to sit it out. I didn't want to weigh in on it.
The the Trump Iran thing. There was other things that were
more interesting to me and I got another story from yesterday
that actually popped up. And we've almost like the news
cycle move so quickly that we forget the crazy stuff that's
happening For some of you. That is big, big stuff locally.
So let's do that real quick. This story came out from, I
think it's NBC. Is that what's going on here?
It's an NBC story talking about no, this is this is CNN.
This is the most trusted name in news.
We've got a fun little CNN moment for you in a minute.
The suspect in the Minnesota lawmaker attacks was a quote UN
quote prepper. They're doing small work to sort
of reinforce that this guy was like a right wing loony.
Again, everything about this story, the more stuff they throw
out there into the news cycle, the weirder and Dumber it
sounds. He apparently had a quote UN
quote bailout plan. That's not what we call that, is
it, folks, For those of us that know how to prepare for things,
we don't have bailout plans. We have bug out plans.
What is a bailout plan, you wonder, for his wife?
Anyhow, again, more just like people who are are trying to
weigh in on something that doesn't quite work.
This is the the story of this guy at Lance Bolter, if I'm
saying that correctly. BOELTER Bolter, the man is
charged in the killings of a Minnesota lawmaker and her
husband, who was described as a prepper and at some point gave
his wife a quote UN quote bailout plan in case of exigent
circumstances, according to the FBI agent who's investigating
the case. The term prepper generally
refers to someone who stockpiles materials and makes plans to
survive some future disaster or doomsday event or government
government elected official assassination event.
Is that a thing? Nulian Siebel affidavits
uncovered by CNN affiliate WCCOI didn't know they had local
affiliates. How about that?
The FBI agent, Terry Goetz wrote that Bolter and his wife were
preppers and that Bolters established a bailout plan
instructing his wife to go to her their mother's home in
Wisconsin. You know, here's the thing that
I like most about people that are ready to run from the
government. You know, the last place as a
former FBI agent that I would ever go look for you is a family
member's home. I would never once consider law
enforcement would never think to try to find you at a known
associate or family member's house.
That's like probably the, that is an ironclad plan there that
this guy created this prepper bailout plan, not bug out plan.
The affidavit did not imply that Bolter's wife knew about her
husband's alleged plans to attack lawmakers, and she hasn't
been charged with any crime. But she did know how to run
because they had a bailout plan. I'm just going to keep saying it
because it sounds so stupid in my head.
Last Saturday's shooting, Bolter's wife was pulled over by
law enforcement in the morning. Just afterwards, while traveling
with her four children to visit friends northwest of the metro
area, she consented to a search of their car.
And that is not something you would do if you were a smart
prepper, is it? Not at all.
The investigators found two handguns, passports for Bolter's
wife and their children, and $10,000 in cash.
Sounds like that bailout plan may not have actually been the
move to go to Mom's house. Anyway, I think that the
passports kind of indicate you might be going north of that
border and onward anyhow. And I don't know how long
$10,000 cash would would keep you on the run, But you know,
it's better than nothing. It's probably more than most
people can do. All of this stuff is weird,
everything about it. During an interview, the the
wife said that she received a group text message from Bolter
in a thread with their kids. And he said, and again, we did
an entire episode about this daddy went to war last night.
I don't want to say anymore because I don't want to
implicate anybody. That's the text message from
family, from him to family members.
And it was read by the federal agents, who I guess got consent
to search the phone, too, in addition to the house.
It's hard to say where that came from, but the affidavit revealed
that he withdrew all $2200. And then he bought a Buick, an
electric vehicle. You guys remember, everything
about the story is bizarre. It's all weird.
It doesn't make any bit of sense.
They found voluminous writings in his home and his car, but no
clear manifesto has been uncovered.
How many of you have voluminous writings about your political
ideology outside of our our archivist Rose, who keeps track
of all the things that go on in the show, which is really nice.
Good morning, Rose, We see you out there outside of Rose
keeping track on spreadsheets of all the things.
Do you have voluminous writings about your thoughts and your
musings and your ideology? It's one thing to have it on a
social media account. It's maybe another if you have
like a blog or a political sort of writing thing.
I just don't know. I don't know where any of this
makes any bit of sense. It's too strange, but they are
trying to tie him to the right. That's the game.
If they can do it, this right, you know, the right that just
continues to win so strongly. My my buddies and I have been
kind of trading this back and forth this sort of like this is
what I voted for. But we do it in the the
alternating caps thing because it's just, it's just such a
mixed bag. It sounds like Donald Trump's
ideas have been mostly in line with what, you know, the things
that he said during the campaign are the things that he's still
saying. That's great.
And some of the people that are the White House are also saying
the same things. But man, the, the, the GOP
really cannot get their act together.
It's why the left continues to push forward.
It's probably why we have a communist running in New York
City right now because that actually seems plausible.
And there's enough division and weakness on the political right
that that the left, they do always get wins, even when
they're not in charge. This is an article from NBC
News, not from CNN. Republican attempts to rein in
federal judges have been stripped from Trump's big
beautiful bill. You know, probably the single
biggest threat to any agenda that the political right wants
to do are these activist judges, these these federal judges that
step up and just sort of like make their opinions and their
emotions and their their sensations on morality like out
of whole cloth. They just put that into case
law, at least locally, and then they try to apply it nationally.
That one thing that Republicans really could do, right?
And then honestly, you should actually see happening on the
political left, too. Everybody should agree that when
you put your executive in, they get to do executive things that
the judiciary, especially at the lowest possible level, the
inferior courts as described by the Article 3 of the
Constitution, should not be out there trying to stop the entire
executive branch from moving forward with the agenda that
they have that are, you know, things within their purview.
Yeah. Republicans can't get it
together on that. The provision was aimed at
curbing nationwide injunctions imposed by justices or judges
who have blocked some of the most high profile Trump
administration policies. This is a problem for left and
right. Even those on the left,
including on the Supreme Court, have said this within the last
10 years. It's so obvious.
It's so clear that this is a problem.
Activist judges on either side, If you are a District Judge, you
should not be making nationwide injunctions.
And I say that as someone who theoretically would have
benefited from a nationwide injunction.
It actually took us getting it into the 5th Circuit and the end
bank, first the, the circuit and then the end bank review before
it actually should have had any bearing, unless you're
specifically named in the the suit, which is the kind of the,
the thing that we had for federal employees that were
trying to stop the vaccine mandate, which we did stop, by
the way. And then the Biden Department,
Justice Department and the Biden administration writ large
actually withdrew that knowing that they were going to get case
law saying they couldn't do that thing.
They wanted to hold on to it for later.
Senate Democrats have forced the removal of a provision in the
Republicans sweeping domestic policy bill.
I mean, I think the word sweeping right there is the big
problem. It continues to be the problem.
Do you guys remember when Matt Gaetz and and others joined
together to vacate the chair? We got rid of Kevin McCarthy and
we got this Mike Johnson guy. And the idea was the promise,
the original promise of putting a new speaker in was that we
would get single issue bills that everybody had time to read
and they would vote on them individually, that they would do
the job of a legislator incrementally.
For me, the idea that we have these folks that are supposed to
be passing individual laws, individual funding.
And what they do is they lump it all together.
It's kind of like the same equivalent.
If your kid came down and you were like, OK, go do your math
homework and then bring it to me to check.
And then go do your, your, your, you know, whatever history
homework and bring that essay down for me to check and then go
to your science worksheets and then bring that down for me to
check. And you ask them to, they go do
all those things. And instead what they did is
they came down with all of the work, not just for that day, but
like for the whole week. In this case, it's the whole
year. And they bring it all to you.
They go here, here, here's all my work.
Will you check it? And you're like, I've been
waiting for months for this stuff.
Why do you think you can that they get away with it because
they keep getting elected in you keep voting in your incumbents,
folks. And I keep seeing it.
I see it on social media every single day.
I will tell you a concrete example of your representative.
And I only have that experience because I found myself in this
weird national role over the last couple years where the
things that we've put out there in the world affect the entire
country. And so they affect Josh Howley
in Missouri and they affect, you know, Ron Johnson in in
Wisconsin and they affect Eli Crane in Arizona and they affect
Ted Cruz. They affect all of you,
everywhere in the country. If they're looking at religion,
they being the FBI, they being the federal government and the
intelligence apparatus, if they're looking into your First
Amendment protected liberties, then that's a problem for all of
us. So here we are exposing it.
We being the suspendables and every single representative that
you guys have has failed all of them.
I got one call from Ron Johnson for a few moments and I wasn't
able to talk because I was in the middle of moving my house
and with a pregnant wife and I had no income and I was trying
to figure out where to go. That was right when we launched
the the new version of this podcast, probably I would call
it like 1.1 when we moved out of the trailer and we moved into a
rental house. So that was Part 1.
I got a call from from Andy Biggs.
We had a nice conversation. It's never been a follow up on
that I requested to meet with people that I was physically in
the area, that I would have been a voting constituent had I
stayed, that they, they just didn't have an election during
that time. But Eli Crane completely ignored
us. Ted Cruz, we reached out
directly when I was in New Mexico, same thing.
Never even met with the representative that I brought
all those whistle blower complaints to who got voted out.
None of these people do the thing they got elected to do.
I'm I'm belaboring the word sweeping, but honest to God,
sweeping domestic policy bills are the antithesis of what
Republicans should be ever asking for.
There is nothing conservative about throwing everything
together and voting on it just because we need it, because we
waited too long, because we're not willing to do our jobs piece
meal as it's supposed to be done.
Democrats are now challenging a broad range of the provisions in
the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for compliance with the set of
budget rules. Republicans are relying on the
60 vote hurdle instead of the the 2/3.
They're trying to get it done through reconciliation, which
means that it can't add or subtract anything on the
dollars. All this stuff is just
ridiculous. All of this is nonsense.
This is people hiding behind technicality.
I saw a video the other day of Jim Jordan trying to introduce a
it was simply a hearing. It was a House hearing where
they wanted to play evidentiary video of parents that were
outside of a school board meeting protesting and they were
being censored by the Biden administration and there were
objections to introducing the video into evidence.
Which by the way, I don't want our our members of the House and
our members of the Senate conducting hearings anymore.
I'm so sick of the damn hearings because they never result in
anything. But they were.
They were literally willing to object and fight to even showing
a video, God forbid, into the record.
And Republicans could do nothing about it because they had
violated the rules. They haven't given 24 hour
notice because they created a new rule that there needed to be
24 hour notice. And then there's all this
bickering about what the rules are.
They're talking here. Democratic aides on the Senate
Budget Committee confirmed that the Senate parliamentarian,
parliamentarian, sorry, this is all like this.
It's like the nerdiest stuff from high school where people
were involved in like, you know, and student council, like they
all grew up to be these people. The in House referee who decides
her name is Elizabeth McDonough or McDonough, ruled that the
provision did not comply with the bird rule, which says that
provisions must be directly related to taxes or spending.
And so Senate Republicans added the provision in the wake of a
flurry of federal court warnings rulings that have screwed with
Donald Trump's domestic agenda since he took office, including
by blocking some of his most aggressive uses of executive
power. Yeah, just defund some of these
damn courts. Wouldn't that be the right
thing? Like at some point you'd think
that these people were just willing to throw the baby out
and with the bathwater and do what needs to be done.
We just don't see the the energy to actually rule ever.
They don't take power and do anything with it, which is why I
sort of don't really mind and why I actually stand with people
like Tom Massie, who tend to be sort of irritated with how
stupid it is. He seems to have seen it.
He saw how dumb it was, and he just calls it out.
He's like, this is all bad. This is a bad plan.
There's been this ongoing feud over the last couple, let's call
it a couple weeks. If you guys have been paying
attention, between Thomas Massie and the Trump administration,
he's been kind of a no man because he's been looking for a
little bit more. I generally like Tom Massie.
I think that he's smarter than most the people that we ever see
out there. He understands how things work.
So you just have these ineffective policies because
you've got people that are going to not be able to do their
single job. If they came out there with
single issues and just made people see a yay or a nay on it,
would we at least understand a little bit more about it?
The one thing that Trump is good at doing is the foreign policy
and where he has a lot more unilateral movement.
This is something that came out again.
We, I wanted to sit on it for a day or two just to see what
would happen. Iran responded to the US bump
bunker Buster bomb drops. We looked into those, by the
way, they were about 1/2 of a billion dollars to develop the
technology to drop those 30,000 LB bombs that can go in and and
penetrate downward and destroy hidden facilities underground.
And they cost supposedly $3.5 million per bomb.
So we dropped $50 million with an ordinance just in that one
little attack. And then there had to be a
response. And the counter response was, is
that the Trump administration said they got early notice
through back channels. In other words, the the Iranians
called the Qataris and said, hey, we're going to be sending
some missiles your way to an undisclosed location thing and
just be just be careful because we don't want to hurt anything
in Qatar. Of course, Qatar then tells the
United States, the United States evacuates the areas.
And so you had these sort of like not very effective counter
strikes. But I did want to kind of lean
into this, this this little feud that's been going on.
I want you to see where it is not for the idea that the Trump
administration and, and Donald Trump in the White House are
correct and not that Massey or people who are pushing against
like the idea of going into war. And so you have this faction,
whether it be like the Owen Schroyer types are upset and
you've got them lobbying against it.
You got the Hodge twins out there, which I watch this stuff
on social media interactions. Then you've got the Trump
loyalist types and you've got the the pro, you know, Iran
types that are saying the other things.
It did create this little sort of like drama.
All of this is still show business for ugly people.
This is all still that theater we talked about yesterday.
So here's Massey on CNN. He's looking very tan, by the
way. Maybe that's just the the
coloring of the the screen that this was captured on.
But he's talking about how this is problematic.
I can show you, I'm going to show you a couple of clips that
Donald Trump unilaterally making military actions.
I'm not crazy about it. I don't think it's great, but
it's not new. It's the same stuff that's been
going on. What you found, though, is that
Massey said the thing that Massey would always say, and the
Democrats jumped in with him and said this is an act of war and
you need a declaration of war and you cannot have Congress do
it. All of this stuff is just to get
people really riled up and none of it has any actions.
There's no follow through. In the same way They put these
huge sweeping domestic bills knowing that at the end of the
day they're going to negotiate out anything that we care about.
We're just going to have stupidity.
We're going to end up spending trillions and trillions of more
dollars, and it's going to be too much noise for any regular
person who goes to work every day, puts on their pants and
like has to go earn a living, is going to pay attention to.
Maybe that's why it's really interesting to see what's going
on in New York City because that is so local that it actually
might affect you. It feels like we don't have any
real impact on the national thing.
Here's some non impactful, not constitutional, sort of just
political talking points. And it's going to set up this
sort of like MAGA versus America first idea, whatever the hell
that means. And and the notion that this
isn't an act of war I find ludicrous.
This is a hot war. There are two nations, Israel
and Iran, trading volleys of missiles every night, every day.
And we're a Co belligerent now in this war.
I mean, the vice president went on to say that the they needed
to act now because there was a narrow window and if they
waited, it could have been too late and needed to stop the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Do you not share that concern? No, I don't share that concern.
I'm also, but I have another concern, and that is that 3
bombings to neutralize Iran may turn out to be the 2025 version
of two weeks to slow the spread. This could turn into a
protracted, prolonged engagement.
And I'm here to represent the, you know, the base of the MAGA
party that got Trump elected. Most of us were tired of the
wars in the Middle East and Eastern Europe and we were
promised that we wouldn't be engaging in another one.
Yet here we see this happening and there's a, you know, the the
president and the administration say, oh, we're done.
We've we've had our little bombing and now this is over.
But what happens if this drags on between Israel and Tel Aviv
gets pummeled by Iran? Is President Trump going to say,
we're going to sit by and not do anything in that instance?
I just, I'm leery of this, given everything that's happened
before. He's not wrong to be leery of
it. It did set up the sort of like
MAGA versus MAGA thing. So here's the White House
spokesperson. She's going to push back.
She's going to call Thomas Massie a Democrat.
That's not true either, by the way.
All of them end up being kind of right and kind of wrong because
there got to be a ceasefire, which was announced and then
both parties violated the ceasefire, which seemed to piss
off Donald Trump. So we got some great Donald
Trump audio out of that. Here's Carolyn Levitt, this is
from the other day. Like, again, like I said, I sat
this thing out to be able to see what it would look like.
And I wanted to give you both sides of it and the both sides
are both sides, sides were partly wrong.
And both sides are just kind of doing this thing where they're
going out and they're saying things that are ideologically
consistent. That's what Tom Massey thinks.
That's what Tom Massey says. The fun thing is, is that
Democrats see it and jump into his side.
And so then you get this talking point coming out of the White
House where you've now take taken Tom Massey, who has
legitimately libertarian sentiments, which is kind of
where I sit. You know, you know, we don't all
agree on everything, folks. I I understand that, but the
libertarian plus Christianity mindset is kind of where Kyle
Seraphin sits politically. And so a lot of my mentality
comes from that. I want to see things actually be
functional. I want to see the smallest
possible government. I want your mayor to have more
power over what goes on in your life than the president are the
reason why I would never live in New York City.
We're getting there, I promise you.
Here's Carol Levitt. Just like lumping Massey in on
top of Democrats, which is this is, that's not honest either.
You know, that's just not an honest position.
We did make bipartisan calls. Thomas Massey and the Democrats,
he should be a Democrat because he's more aligned with them than
with the Republican Party. We're we're given notice the
White House made calls to congressional leadership.
They were bipartisan calls. In fact, Hakeem Jaffrays
couldn't be reached. We tried him before the strike
and he didn't pick up the phone, but he was briefed after as well
as Chuck Schumer was briefed prior to the strike.
So this notion that CNN ran with at the White House did not give
a heads up to Democrats is just completely false.
In fact, both Senator Schumer's office and CNN had to retract
that story last night because it was a blatant lie.
And we showed them the time stamps from those phone calls.
But I want to add something to Thomas Massie's false points.
The the White House was not obligated to call anyone because
the president was acting within his legal authority under
Article 2 of the Constitution as commander in chief of the
president of the United States. We gave these calls as a
courtesy. And the Democrats are lying
about this because they can't talk about the truth of the
success of that operation and the success of our United States
military and the success of this president and this
administration in doing something that passed
administrations. Democrats, too, have only
dreamed about. No, actually, Democrats have
done the same thing. George W Bush did it and Obama
did it. They all did the same thing.
They all love doing this stuff. They all like going and acting
unilaterally. She's correct that historically,
over the last like 25 plus years, we have seen presidents
act unilaterally and declare that they can go and do strikes.
And Obama was famous for doing it quite a bit.
And I've got a little compilation of those.
You've got people like Nancy Pelosi who used to defend it.
Then they turn around when it's convenient and they complain
about it. I actually think Tom, he's
probably pretty consistent. So he doesn't fit into the same
category of people that wish wash and say, you know, you
should be able to do war when my team is in power, but not when
your team is in power. I actually don't.
I don't think he's inconsistent there.
I actually do wish that the presidents would go in front of
Congress and ask for declarations of war.
And let me just put this out there into your minds.
Consider this. Let's say the the situation was
reversed and Iran had the ability to project power into
the United States and they flew a stealth mission.
By the way, I was talking to a Green Beret the other day and he
was like, Can you imagine, just like the absolute devastating
panic that happens that you didn't even know that they were
aircraft in your airspace. And then suddenly one of your
facilities just explodes and then the, the aircraft that were
there are not even there. Again, you still don't even know
what drop, what dropped it on you.
I mean, the the American military's ability to do that is
incredible. So that's devastating.
I said it probably stings a little bit to find out that you
didn't even know that you had your air sprays penetrated and
then you have your ground penetrated down as deep as they
did. OK, But let's consider this.
Imagine Iran has the ability to penetrate the United States's
NORAD. They're able to get through all
of our radar coverage. We have absolutely no idea.
And suddenly missile silos in Montana, America, start
exploding and they are destroying our nuclear weapons
underground. Imagine if that was the case.
Would the United States be mad but not consider that a
declaration of war? Would any of you think that a
bombing spree that happens by a foreign nation in Wyoming, in
Georgia, in Florida, at one of our bases, let's say, or in
Montana or any other place in America, fringe, populated or
unpopulated, Would any of you go like, well, that's just, that's
just a strong message because that was the argument we've sent
a strong message. We're not in a hot war.
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
I think Tom Massie's correct. We are a Co belligerent at this
point. You are, in fact, a group of
people who have now dropped bombs on a sovereign nation
without a declaration of war. That's problematic if you're an
American and you want things to be the way it's always been.
But we haven't had that in 20 or 30 years.
So we're not really there anymore, metallically.
I wish that we would have declarations of war, that we
would not just have these like armed conflicts and what they
used to call the doctrine of low intensity conflicts, which means
we don't actually put boots on the ground or we don't put
traditional forces on the ground.
And since we don't put traditional forces on the
ground, it's not really a declaration of war.
Bull. Imagine 300 Mexican soldiers
creeping in and doing some sort of like, I don't know, foreign
internal defense. And they were trying to defend
the New York, the city of New York against US governmental
aggressions because they wanted to favor the regime change that
was going on. They wanted to back up Mayor
Adams and Trump didn't like it. Can you fathom that?
Several 100 foreign enemy fighters?
And we would say that's not war, that's war.
That's what it would look like. So let's just be consistent when
we say these things. At the end of the day, the
people that pay in war, it turns out to just be the the poor
folks that that that actually sign up to do it.
So if you guys want to support a company that actually knows
that, we can go ahead and pivot over to our buddies over at
Patriot Coolers. I got one on the desk right here
is the I think it's the 19 oz coffee mug, can't remember if
it's 19 or 20. I think it's 19.
It's got a handle on it. It works really well.
It's spill proof. It fits in all your cup holders.
It'll keep your beverage hot or cold in the summer.
That's a great option. They also back up our homes for
the troops they go and they help retrofit Disabled American
Veterans homes that they have the ability to live more
comfortably. They put hundreds of thousands
of dollars of their profits back into that charity.
We've seen the checks. It's a great, great option.
So you're not just saying Patriot on the side of the mug
that you decide to buy or on the cooler that you buy, but in
fact, you are in fact being patriotic by looking after the
people who do pay in our armed conflicts and they do pay with
their, with their lives and their limbs very, very often.
Patriot coolers.com is the website.
You can use my promo code Kyle. It saves you 10%.
It's the same discount they'll give to those in the military.
But you don't have to put in your ID or anything like that.
Kyle saves you 10 percent, 50 bucks or more.
You're going to get free shipping.
They're a great company. They do good stuff.
They're out of Houston, TX and they get it.
They understand what the cost is.

good cause and so on, check them out.
We've been advertising with them for over 2 years now.
I'm really grateful for their support and I appreciate you
guys supporting them too. Nobody ever gets their products
and is like, you guys suck like no, it's awesome.
All right, so again, I want to lean into this.
OK, this was war like material. Let me give you an example.
Now, Democrats were asked those questions previously.
How about how about Barack Obama?
Because that's the most recent example of a guy who loved drone
strikes but didn't declare war. You didn't hear Democrats crying
about that. In fact, they defended it.
Here's like 5 instances of Barack Obama doing the exact
same thing that Trump did, unilaterally authorizing
military action, which should require a declaration of war.
If you're that kind of person, if you think that's right and I
do, if you're a person of that principles, he, they've been
doing it. So like I said, it's been
normalized. It's not like it's something out
of the blue or that Donald Trump is uniquely bad.
Today, I authorized 2 operations in Iraq, targeted air strikes to
protect our American personnel. Last night, on my orders,
America's armed forces began strikes against ISIL targets in
Syria. Today, at my direction, the
United States launched A targeted operation against that
compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Today, I authorized the armed forces of the United States to
begin a limited military action in Libya because a nuclear Iran
is a threat to our national security.
They can take the diplomatic route or they will have to face
a United States president, me who said we're not going to take
any options off the table. OK, so there are plenty of
examples of it. Here's Nancy Pelosi being asked
about this. This is in 2011.
Madam Speaker, read. The ladder.
But, Madam Leader, you're saying that the President did not need
authorization initially and still does not need any
authorization from Congress 1 Libya.
Yes. Thank you, folks.
Thank you all very much. Yeah, we're going to shut it
right down. That's just the question.
So this is, this is not settled fact, but this is precedent and
has been for quite a while. And so the only people you're
going to see that are really, really consistent of those that
don't want to see war at all and think that it's wrong and think
that you should actually go out there and ask Congress for
declaration of war if you're going to consider things of
wartime act. And that soft Gray area where
all the politics gets played is the same reason why we have
these squishy big bills. It's 'cause they're kind of
getting away with this stuff. I hate it.
I hate that. All right, ABC News reporting is
that ABC, no, CBS News reporting that Trump says Israel and Iran
are violating the ceasefire that he announced demands that Israel
stop their bombing. That's not wrong.
And So what does that look like? It looks like first, the
question of whether or not there was even a ceasefire at all.
I've got a fun little dunk on CNN.
This is quite amusing. This came from our friends over
at the Vigilant Fox who keep an eye on this stuff.
And this is Caitlin Collins doing live propaganda on CNN and
then getting interrupted by Anderson Cooper to tell her that
everything she just said is moot because they actually did get
the the word that there was, in fact, a ceasefire.
And then the ceasefire was violated right afterwards, which
Donald Trump was not happy about.
So let's do the CNN thing, because it's funny.
Now we're hearing incredibly optimistic views coming out of
the White House as far as how long this can hold and what this
is going to look like. That obviously still remains to
be seen on the implementation side of this and waiting to see
if the firing does stop and if Iran and Israel do both agree to
this. Because, you know, Speaking of
the fluidity of the situation, it was just 24 hours ago that
the President Trump himself was suggesting a, a regime change in
Iran was a possibility. And obviously right before that
having the United States strike Iran.
And so, yes, there have been a lot of phone calls going back
and forth. In part this has to do with
Iran's limited response earlier where they fired on AUS base in
Qatar, but there were no casualties.
We know that they did give a heads up that they were going to
be firing on US bases without exactly specify specifying which
ones. But that is the question here is
if the United States felt that it did not need to respond to
the Iranian retaliation, did that create the space for this?
That is what we've been hearing from administration officials.
And so the question is whether or not this still holds for the
next few hours. Caitlin, I just got been given
word that Iran, according to a diplomat who briefed CNN, Iran
has agreed to the ceasefire. So this is significant.
I just want to try to learn some more information as soon as we
get it about that. But if that is the case, that's
incredibly significant because that is we were waiting.
We had not heard from Iran. We had not heard from from
Israel. All we were going on so far has
been the president's social media post, which was some two
hours ago. That is pretty funny.
You've got a lady who has no special skill set other than
she's been in, quote, UN quote, journalism for her whole life.
And then you got another guy who used to be an MTV VJ, but he's,
you know, son of a very, very wealthy family who's also sort
of made himself into this sort of like pompous, now arbiter of
the truth and Anderson Cooper and interrupting like both of
them. She basically said a bunch of
things trying to shade against the Trump administration, only
to find out that Anderson Cooper then was going to shut her down
anyway. I found that to be very fun.
I like to just watch when these guys are dismantling themselves
in real time. But the story for me is it yet
another example of, I think where Trump is most strong, He
actually does have a pretty good instinct.
Like you always hear about the art of the deal and the 5D chess
and all this kind of stuff. It does take people actually
playing by some rules, but Trump's idea that we're going to
allow a counter strike at AUS base in Qatar, that we're going
to go and do what is legitimately.
I think if, if you believe my previous argument on act of war
dropping 10s of millions of dollars worth of ordnance, we
didn't even cover how much the Tomahawk cruise missiles cost.
But I'm sure those things are also very, very spendy, if you
will. He's done this before.
We've heard people from the State Department talk about what
is the appropriate response when you're dealing with a regime
that sort of trades in strength And the Iranian regime has to
tell people we are still strong. Yes, you know, these evil death
to America clowns. They've done this thing to us.
They've dropped bombs into the heart of our, our, of our, of
our power plants and our, and our nuclear, you know,
enrichment facility. But we will strike back fast,
and we will strike back hard. Trump actually understands that.
And he was like, what's the best way to deescalate that?
It's like giving your kid a pillow in the corner and let him
go punch the pillow as hard as they can because they're really
mad at their sister. You can't hit your sister, but
you can't hit the pillow and get your aggression out.
And so he allows them to pretend to be strong.
And it's not the first time we've heard about this.
We've heard about this from previous members of the State
Department during the first administration, where they're
like, OK, yeah, you give us the advance notice.
We'll let you tie yourself out. You can tell all your people
like we've hurt the infidels in a place that they will never be
able to recover. And then they don't never play
the story where Trump is like, we knew what you were doing and
we let you blow some stuff up. Does that feel better?
Do you feel good? Great.
Thanks for letting us destroy the thing that we needed to
destroy. That's that's I think one of the
stronger pieces of Trump's foreign policy and his his
understanding of people who only exist to project strength on
their own population and giving them that plausible out.
He doesn't have to disgrace them and he still gets the win and it
costs us very little. What it does apparently also not
solve though, is the problem that these people hate each
other, right? You've got a Muslim versus Jews
situation. As I said the other day on
social media, we're talking about, we're talking about two
peoples that don't eat bacon. And this is not my fight.
And so I will be very consistent that I do not side with Iran
because I don't care what happens over there.
But I'm also not someone who wants to see the support of
Israel and US just writing a blank check and getting pulled
into their conflicts because this is a great opportunity for
them to pull the United States in.
I think Trump is pissed off about it, too.
And in a rare sort of moment where he drops an F bomb on
camera, yeah, he did. This is not AI.
He's standing out there outside of Air Force 2 before the
Marines go and lift off in the helicopter.
And he's being asked about this ceasefire.
And it sounds like he's trying to get pinned into one corner or
the other. And he's like these idiots.
They're not. They're both effed up.
You know, they both don't know what the F they're doing.
Good on him. I mean, that's a very human
frustration. I think you could have.
I'm sure he's on short sleep, even though he's generally not a
sleeper. He's got to be pissed because
this could have been a huge win. And now it's kind of like more
muddy water, which is exactly what the Middle East is.
Yeah, I do. They violated, but Israel
violated it too. Israel, as soon as we made the
deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the
likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that
we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel.
You know when, when I say, OK, now you have 12 hours, you don't
go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on
them. So I'm not happy with them.
I'm not happy with Iran either. But I'm really unhappy if
Israel's going out this morning because the one rocket that
didn't land, that was shot perhaps by mistake, that didn't
land, I'm not happy about that. You know what we have?
We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long
and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Do you understand that? I mean, that's it right there.
I think he just nailed it. I think give him, you know, some
sort of like Nobel Prize, not for peace, but like maybe for
for politics or for the understanding of the social
event. You got two countries that have
been fighting so long they don't know what the F they're doing.
I do like planes broken Trump more than maybe anything else.
When he's like that, that's the best because I think regular
Americans are like, yeah, yeah, that's what's going on here.
Maybe that's the the same kind of guy that wants to get rid of
people that don't belong in this country.
Here's a little Supreme Court news that dropped yesterday.
This is being lamented by NBC. And then we're going to get into
the New York stuff because it's necessary to talk about them.
The Supreme Court made it easier on Monday for the Trump
administration. So, you know, it's always wins
and losses. It's always wins and losses.
There's never 100% wins. We don't get all that.
That's not the world we live in. It's a fallen world.
The Trump administration is now easily able to deport convicted
criminals to third countries. Think of that as not necessarily
the countries they're from, but a third party waiting.
So if they're from Venezuela and they're claiming, oh, if I go
back to Venezuela, the government's going to put me in
jail for all the crimes that I did there or some sort of like,
you know, organized militia group is going to come after me.
You can put them in El Salvador. Third countries.
Third countries is a term that is often used as well in the
intelligence world. So let's say I am working on
American intelligence and I want to meet with someone who's in
the Chinese intelligence. We might meet in a third country
and I'll go hang out in Spain, which is like semi neutral to
both of us, right? Third country.
In an unsigned brief order that did not explain any reasoning,
the court put a hold on the federal judge's ruling that said
that those affected nationwide should have meaningful
opportunity. That's a direct quote from the
federal judge that was stopping this.
I think this was in Massachusetts the other day.
To bring claims that they would be at risk of torture or
persecution or death if they went to the countries from which
they were from and that we were going to deport them to.
As a result, the administration may try to quickly remove
immigrants to third countries such as South Sudan.
Wow. Here I was thinking it was all
El Salvador. The affected immigrants can
still attempt to bring individual claims, of course.
A woman named Trina Realmuto, the executive director of the
National Immigration Litigation Alliance, who funds these
things, you always wonder, says, quote.
The ramifications of the Supreme Court's order will be
horrifying. Horrifying.
It strips away the critical due process protections that have
been protected and protecting our class members from torture
and death. Again, people in the United
States crying for non-us citizens, even though they're
U.S. citizens who suffer far worse.
All right, so that's the fun stuff that I wanted to cover on
Let's do New York for about 10 minutes because I've got a
couple of clips. New York is in a terrible
situation right now, folks. You're dealing with the biggest
stupidity where these are three of the front runners of the, so
the five or so candidates, I think there might be actually 6
candidates right now. The, the city of New York has
instituted rank choice voting, which is how you get the worst
person in the job where everybody's second and third
choice still gets, gets points and they actually rank one
through 5. Which means you can actually
still win even though you were nobody's top choice and nobody's
second top choice. Most likely if it's that
contentious, they're they're dealing with former Governor
Andrew Cuomo, who's considered to be the front runner.
Although I've seen some polling that says this other guy may
actually, this Madani may actually be the front runner.
He says. We're especially mindful that
we're in the middle of a war right now.
He told a crowd at a Juneteenth Bronx luncheon.
Andrew Cuomo was removed from his job or had to resign because
of sexual assault and sexual inappropriate contact
allegations. That's all pretty wild.
I almost said Donald Trump has declared a war on Democratic
States and Democratic cities. He's declared a war on working
families. He's declared a war on
immigrants. He's declared a war on
minorities. He's declared a war on New York
City and New York State. I don't know if Donald Trump
needs to do anything with any of you people because you've got
the dumbest possible people attempting to run your cities.
So let's do some of the worst kind of low lights.
This is Andrew Cuomo in 2021 talking about defund the police
and you guys will listen to what he says about those 3 words.
Different schools of thought. You want to say Oh no, Which do
you think is the no brainer? Is it a no brainer to put more
police? Or is it a no brainer to say
defund the police? You know, they're both
legitimate schools of thought. Those are both legitimate
schools of thought. I really hate this guy's voice
by the way. I really don't like it at all. 2
legitimate schools of thought asking about that sort of thing.
So there you go. And is that is that a dumb thing
to say, do we think? Is that a dumb way to
communicate talking about whether or not there is defund
the police? We'll see.
Let's do another quick little clip from him.
And in this one, we get a real reminder of that 2021 mentality,
the COVID lockdowns of which New York was so excitedly behind.
He here he is making apologies, saying, you know, we just New
Yorkers all came together and did the right thing.
And if they didn't do the right thing, of course, we just
arrested them. That was what we did because we
didn't actually care about the right thing, right?
On the brink of chaos for months and no one gave up.
No one gave up on each other and there was a solidarity that was
really beautiful at the end of the day, right?
I'm asking people to do all these things that I could not
possibly enforce. close your business.
You have no authority to tell me.
Close my business. Since been released after being
arrested last night, but his attorney tells us that the
restaurant staying open was a form of protest against the
state COVID regulations. Nonetheless, though, the
restaurant is. Closed to the public.
Wear a mask. Social distance.
Well, David, cops say this whole thing started when they were
trying to break up a group violating social distancing
rules. They asked them to disperse.
Most of them, they say, complied.
Some of them did not. And that's when, from there,
things spiraled out of control. And they did it out of
commitment to each other, which was really, and I hold on to
that because if we can do that, oh, we can do anything.
That was put out by Curtis Sliwa, who's the only Republican
running, which in and of itself is sort of ridiculous.
I have strange little family connection.
My, my in laws have a connection to his baby Mama, which makes
things very, very strange. But Sliwa is like the only
person out there pushing that out, trying to remind New
Yorkers that this guy that's running, you know, he's got this
past and he would love to whitewash it and say that
everything is good to go and everything we did was out of
love. That's always the way that you
brand your your authoritarian wannabe king status thing.
Of course, this guy's behind the No Kings rally as well.
I'm sure they they love that here.
He was talking about defund the police while we're setting the
record straight. That was kind of fun.
That was like a real time. Like here's what he says, but
here's what's reality from the news.
This one is him on Bill Maher talking about, you know,
defunding the police and how smart that was.
Remember, it's a legitimate school of thought They have to
see. That and they have to answer
that. They have to answer voters who
on the way to the studio today, Bill, we're passing these tent
cities for homeless people. And like I think is, are we at
the studio set? Is this a science fiction movie?
Right? People are living this.
Yes, we want to help homeless, mentally ill people.
They have civil rights, I get that.
But they have human rights. And this is the way we treat
mentally ill, homeless people. You can sleep on the sidewalk
and you can eat from the garbage.
We have a real crime problem in this nation.
Well, after George Floyd, everybody hates police.
Yes, you need better police and better trained police, but
defund the police were the three dumbest words ever uttered by
the Democratic. Party OK, so it's actually
really dumb now that was him in 2024 mid mid like summer about a
year ago where he was doing that on Bill Maher.
So you know, he's a man who could evolve his mind can evolve
into new ideas or whatever else. So you start wondering how is it
that these loonies get the furthest left wild animals who
have 0 background? Like first of all, Cuomo is a
very accomplished politician. He's a terrible politician as
far as I'm concerned. He did a horrible job and people
are in the chat over there talking about here.
I'll just throw you guys on the screen.
You're talking about how many people he was responsible for
for killing through some of his policies.
There was actually a, an OMG at O'Keefe undercover video and
there's no way to substantiate this, but the claim was
essentially that Cuomo was blackmailed into putting all of
the, the old folks that had COVID into the old folks homes
that ended up killing off all the old folks in New York.
That hits pretty home. We're pretty close to home.
We have family members and, and very close friends of ours who
lost family members during all of this time.
And if anybody remembers, it was incredibly contentious
whitewashing right over it, acting like none of this stuff
ever happened. So the question is, is how do
you end up with that chaos? And Cuomo went on a podcast.
This is, I think the what is this?
This is the FP. Is that the Free Press?
He's doing a sit down interview and he talks about the
Democratic primary process and what it does.
And this is a real problem in the Republican world too.
What you get is the most active members of your base, the most
rabid part of whatever the extreme left or the right is
that show up. In theory, the people who care
most about politics, let's call them just nerdy people.
It the most nerdy people are going to go out there and decide
what the platform is and they decide who's going to stick
around. Now, on the Republican side,
what we see is that the incumbent almost always has this
huge headwind because the establishment gets people that
understand that the establishment's power comes from
being established and they have to go out there and they put
their person in. So you don't even necessarily
get people through the primary process.
We had, we had a guest on not long ago who explained that in
Florida, but it actually is a nationwide issue for
Republicans. Your best choice never makes it
through the primary, and that might be the case for the
Democrats, too. So here's Cuomo talking about
what happens during that primary, who you have to kowtow
to in order to stick around. And if you don't appease them,
then you will lose them in the general as well.
And so this has always been the problem for American politics.
In a two party system, there are not really two single parties.
We have like a spectrum on the right and a spectrum on the
left. And the people in the middle
basically have to decide, am I closer to the left or the right
fringe when I want things done? And that means that they have to
pick between their most like, excited issues, hence Uniparty.
They're all kind of just dancing in the same sort of square.
The problem is, I think most Americans are relatively
centrist and we don't have a centrist party that kind of just
says, stop bothering me, stay out of my business and stop
reaching into my pocket for stuff.
That's like weird ideology. We, we had Nick Fritos on the
other day. This is not a mistake.
They didn't waste your money. They are using your money for
their ideology. It just depends on who wins.
And it turns out the left has been winning at this for at
least 30 years. In my experience, Republicans
lose. They just lose more slowly when
they have power. All right, here's Cuomo
explaining the problem. And that far left is so intense
and so active and so strong. You better not get on the wrong
side of them because they will threaten you and they will
threaten you in a primary. And they're very strong in a
primary because you have that low turn out and they are the
activists. So it's a paralysis the unless
it's perfect, right? The perfect is the enemy, the
good. Unless it's perfect, we're not
going to do it. And we're going to side with the
advocate, advocacy, community opposition whenever we can.
And we get absolutely nothing done.
And you see a deterioration of conditions and people say why?
And you're all Democrats. And I went to Los Angeles and
all I saw were blue tarps everywhere and homeless living
under bridges, etcetera. And I'm afraid to walk down the
street. And it's all Democrats who are
in charge and there's no one else to blame.
It's you. And you want to point fingers
internally, that does nothing for me.
It's still you, and that's what you have to fix.
Yeah, Democrats are responsible for the bad policies, but they
don't ever do that. They never take responsibility
for it. They never say, well, like,
look, we just have really shitty policies, and our shitty
policies have predictable results because we don't
understand how basic things work.
And that leads us to the exciting title of today's show.
I I know we took a long time getting here, but why don't we
just try communism? What if we just tried communism?
Because we really haven't done that yet.
If only we could just do it the right way, communism, American
style, where we all vote for it and then we take the rich
people's money. And that is a legitimate option
right now in New York City. This is pretty interesting.
This is coming from the New York Post, which kind of like leans
right, but they're pretty New Yorkie conservatives, which
means not conservative at all. They've put this out there.
New Yorkers get out and vote against the menace that is Zoran
Madami. This guy had a video that popped
up and I've been kind of like loosely paying attention to him.
And I knew that he had some Indian background and I knew
that he was kind of like a flashy face, but probably didn't
have a lot of substance. He's an assemblyman.
As I, as I understand it. I kind of was just watching from
the outside. And then I caught this video
last night and I was like, oh, baby, we got to do a whole show
on this. We got to at least do a segment
on this during the show. But we certainly are going to
name it because I love it when New Yorkers prove me the reason
why I dislike New York. And that is because some of the
worst ideas in America come out of there.
So far. They have just abandoned all the
principles of the 90s where they were like, hey, we could do a
live and let live thing. We could have like maybe we just
don't have too much crime. If America is Gotham, we have
two options. We can act like Batman and clean
the streets up or we could just see what happens and see if
people get gunned down in the back alley and they were like
the gunned down in the back alley option is the best for us.
When voters go to the polls on Tuesday, they have to pick a
Democratic nominee for the next mayor.
Again, this is like a ranked primary system and they face
this is great. They face a truly awful range of
carrot of candidates, yet they have a duty to stop the worst of
the worst. The cheap influencer Zora
Madami, a baby faced socialist anti semite who's never
accomplished anything except his so-called buzzy campaign.
Democrats must soundly reject him and leave him completely out
of their top five picks in the ranked choice voting ballot.
Then they go on and talk about why.
That's a picture of him with AOC, by the way.
So that's pretty fun. And I am going to do you do a
little favor. Look at AOC right there.
I'm going to drop the headline for a second.
AOC is getting a little soft. I don't know if she's got a baby
on the way but she has left her 20s and the sort of like thirsty
pics and she's moving into like mom bod range, which is not a
horrible thing. I don't dislike that at all.
This is like the kind of women that are in my demographic.
I love moms, I think they're the best.
But she doesn't seem like she Did she quietly get married?
I don't even know if she got married to that red headed guy
with the weird feet. Did she marry him?
Are they having a baby? What's going on here?
Like just can we just agree? If you guys haven't seen it,
TuneIn at like the one hour mark over on Spotify, it's Kyle's
irvingshow.com. Click on that.
Go to the one hour mark. You can see this picture that
I'm talking about on the screen, but there she is with this
Madami guy. So this is the video that kicked
off my excitement about this dude because I I swear to God,
what if we could just do communism?
Let's just have the city of New York, which is amazingly
successful at running everything else, run our grocery stores.
I kid you not. That's this guy's pitch.
Here we go. Grocery prices are out of
control. The cost of eggs and milk has
skyrocketed. Some stores are even using
dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of a day
depending on what they can get away with.
It doesn't need to be this way. I'm Zahram Mandani and as mayor
I will create a network of city owned grocery stores.
It's like a public option for produce.
We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city
owned grocery stores whose mission is lower prices, not
price gouging. These stores will operate
without a profit motive or having to pay property taxes or
rent. And we'll pass on those savings
to you. Oh.
Oh, OK. They wanted to pay property
taxes because they're run by the city.
That's going to work just fine. How are you going to pay for
this plan that you have? How are you going to pay for the
workers? Grocery stores run apparently.
I just saw some studies on it in New York City.
They run on an average of like 1.6 to 2% profit margin on all
their goods. It is so expensive to do
business in New York City. It's impossible to like park.
They have to block off city streets when they go do their
unloads. It is the dumbest possible way
for people to all live together. It's like they created the
system. They stacked more and more
people in. There's no infrastructure to
bring in foods. They're constantly having stupid
traffic and they're blocking sidewalks and they're opening
them up and they've got basements and all the other
crazy stuff. How are you going to pay for all
this? What if we just tax the rich?
That's what they came up with. Tax the rich would be the best
way to do that. Think I'm kidding?
I'm not kidding. Here he is.
He's going to just take from the 1%.
You know, those dirty, evil 1 percenters.
How many of those people are going to stick around in New
York City? Or how many are going to go move
down next to Mar a Lago and live next to Trump going to
hospitals? How can you protect them?
Here's the thing. The Donald Trump administration
will use the fact that they fund 7% of our city budget as
leverage over us to try and give up whichever category of New
Yorkers they are pursuing in that day.
Ultimately, what we need to do is tell those same institutions
we will. Provide them that funding and
we'll get that funding by taxing the 1% and the wealthiest
corporations right here in New York.
State going to hospital. You're just going to tax the
really rich people and then just hope that they stay like, so
what's that all about? Anyway, this guy apparently was
a rapper. I went into his.
Sometimes you can go to Wikipedia and find fun stuff.
His Wikipedia is truly amazing. It's really, really, really
good. I'm super excited that I get to
read some of the stuff to you because most of you probably
don't know about this. And even if you live in New
York, you probably didn't look into him because he's probably
not your cup of tea. But you ought to know.
His name is Zoran Kwame Madami. He was born in 1991, so he's 33
years old. He's an American politician from
the state of New York. That's what it says, except he's
not from the state of New York. He's only been AUS citizen for
like 7 years. He served as a member of the New
York State Assembly representing Queens since 2021.
So he's been in politics for about four years now, maybe a
little bit less. He's a member of the Democratic
Party and he's also a representative of the Democratic
Socialist of America. That's fantastic stuff.
Early life and education says he was born October 18th of 91 in
Uganda to a family of Indian descent.
So they're not even from Uganda. His parents, dad, he is a
professor, he's an Indian Ugandan professor of colonialism
and post colonial studies at Columbia and he's Muslim.
Mom is an Indian American filmmaker of Punjabi descent.
He's named after a revolutionary in the 1st Prime Minister of
Ghana. When he was five years old they
left Uganda and they moved to Cape Town, South Africa, South
Africa. There's a funny little video of
him doing a South African accent even though he moved away when
he was five. It's actually priceless.
He just drops right into it like no problem.
This guy is a flippin chameleon. He attended a private school
while his father worked at the Cape, the University of Cape
Town. Then they moved to New York when
he was seven. He graduated from the Bank
Street School for children, the Bronx High School of Science,
and then went to a private liberal arts school in Maine
where he Co founded the Students for Justice in Palestine
organization and in 2014 he graduated with a bachelor's
degree in Africana studies. His work experience is almost
none. He worked as a foreclosure
prevention and housing counselor specialist for lower income
people, meaning that was on the government dime as far as I can
tell. He also produced a rap music and
hip hop video thing which he's a big fan of.
And he cooperated with a Ugandan rapper, and then he entered
politics because why not? And so he began as a volunteer
on a campaign in 2015. Apparently, he's got enough
money to not worry about that. In 2017, he worked on the
campaign for a Muslim Palestinian, A Palestinian
Lutheran minister in the New York City Council, worked on
another socialist campaign in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Let rest is history.
This guy is wild. And again, I, I wonder if I have
the free free Palestine bit. He went out there and did a, a
thing of low energy, sort of, you know, grass roots getting
people behind him. And I think I have a little
quick video of that right now. Let me see here.
Actually, let's just go to this one real quick.
This is a video of them looking into who he was.
I, I promise you a little bit of his rap.
So here's a little bit of his rapping.
This is the option. This is the stuff that he did in
2016 where he's praising terrorists, The Holy Land 5.
In 2017, Zoran Mamdani released a rap track that praised 5
convicted Hamas funders known as the Holy Land 5.
Now he wants to run New York. Mamdani says.
Look him up. So we did.
These five men were convicted of funneling over $12 million to
Hamas AUS designated terrorist organization responsible for the
murder, rape and kidnapping of civilians, including Americans.
Mamdani sent his love to convicted Hamas funders.
Let that sink in. Mamdani says no wall will make
it fall. That's an open door for
criminals and chaos. Zoran Mamdani stands with
convicted terrorist funders and wants open borders.
This is New York City, not a sanctuary for terrorists.
All right, so there's that, and they're obviously running
against him. This is him at a rally the other
day doing the Free Free Palestine nonsense in various
different ways. Free, free, Free Palestine.
Free free free Palestine. Free free free Palestine.
Thank you so much, brothers and
sisters. Oh, that's terrific stuff.
Now there's videos if you watch people like Fleck, his talks.
My wife was tearing me this video.
I saw it the other day online as well and I didn't really
understand the context, but he was speaking apparently in Hindi
and he was out there explaining that he was going to give a
bunch of free stuff to Indian people.
So he's able to like very quickly chameleonize his way
between them. Here he is crying about anti
Muslim threats, which you have to care about in New York,
turning on the waterworks. It's just the ugliest thing in
the world when people just give him death threats even though
he's basically nobody and he has no background and he came from
nowhere and he's never really had real jobs.
I get messages that say the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim.
I get threats on my life, on the on the people that I love.
And I try not to talk about it because the function of racism,
as Toni Morrison said, is distraction.
My focus has always been on making this a city that's
affordable, on making this a city that every New Yorker sees
themselves in. And it takes a toll because this
is a city that every single. Person deserves to be in the.
City that we all belong to. And the thing that's made me
proudest in this campaign is that the strength of our
movement is built on our ability to have built something across
Jewish and Muslim New Yorkers, across New Yorkers in all
faiths, in all backgrounds, in all boroughs.
And anti-Semitism is such a real issue in the city, and it has
been hard to see it weaponized by candidates who do not seem to
have any sincere interest in tackling.
They just don't have any sincere interest and trying to be not
racist or anti Muslim Islamophobics, blah blah blah
blah blah. So that's cool.
Free Palestine or whatever. That's his jam.
New York, you might only have one real like halfway decent
answer. The other guy is Brad Lander,
who's on the screen who played the other day, who was crying
for Eduardo. He was out there trying to get
arrested by by ice and he did. And then he had Kathy Hoko who
had some sort of facial conniption situation going on
bad Botox. So that's it.
Why are New York, like, at least Cuomo's not crying?
I mean, he's horrible, but at least he's not crying on camera
to try to get sympathies. Is that a thing that people want
out there? New Yorkers used to just go
like, trying to be like tough badasses.
Like, that was always their claim.
The joke used to be that when I was growing up, I was like,
everything that New York thinks it is, Texas actually is, you
know, like New York thinks it's really big and bad and strong
and tough. And then, like, you got actual
people in West, TX that are, you know, pulling gas out of the
ground and stuff and wrangling cattle.
But anyway, we're living in a strange time.
Why not communism? I remember some guy used to say,
is it bad enough yet? And maybe New York is really
looking to just get in on that Bad enough yet.
Maybe they'll be able to finally reach that low point where they
have to go. Like, you know, where people are
getting like burned alive on the subway?
Oh, they're already out there. Maybe where there's like people
just sleeping on every street corner.
Oh, they're already there. So maybe they're almost there.
Maybe they just need communism to come in and really topple it.
This is like, is the League of Shadows running this this
campaign? That's my question.
My buddy and I used to always laugh that Batman was wrong,
that the League of Shadows actually had it right.
And like letting New York just topple under itself would have
been sort of the maybe the the right move.
In any case, you and the chat out there have many opinions
about this, so I wanted to put that on the screen too.
It's just a, it's such a silly time to see that.
Who knew that we would live long enough to see the cold world,
the Cold War end in our time? And then we're like, hey, let's
just give it 30 years. Maybe we could try that thing
that we just toppled, that the people who are old enough to
have seen the Soviet Union toppled, there are actually
people who survived the Soviet Union, who came to America that
now live in New York, that are seeing New Yorkers potentially
go and do Soviet Union stuff. Isn't that something?
It's just, it's extra special. All right.
And I'm going to end with something kind of dumb.
And then I've got something about this.
By the way, the the city running your grocery stores is like the
equivalent of shopping at the DMV.
Outside of Kansas and the little one in Arizona, I don't know
that anybody wants to go shopping at a DMV.
The least motivated people in the world moving the slowest
possible. Because I've ever seen Zootopia.
It's like flash flash 100 yard dashed up.
OK, this is the last thing. I just thought it was really
funny yesterday and I wanted to work it in somewhere.
It's a barrier that women have never broken.
Can Faith Kipienong make mile history?
No woman has ever run a mile in under 4 minutes.
And so the mile world record holder, three time Olympic
champion from Kenya is going to attempt to be the first woman to
run a mile in under 4 minutes. But I only have one question for
the Democrats out there that are looking and I know my chat
already knows what the question is.
The question is what is a woman? How come some some woman with a
penis didn't just go out there and run it?
Because I'm confident that there are some now currently dudes
that might associate as a woman just become the first woman to
be able to break history or maybe they just have a little
bit of self respect. This is a very silly, lack of
self, lack of self reflection article coming from NBC saying
that under the right circumstances, a female could
become the first woman to run a mile in less than 4 minutes.
And that circumstances, if it's not her, could just be someone
with a penis that identifies as a woman might do the same thing.

It's free for you if you like, and there should be unless I
find out otherwise, there should be a a way to watch ad free
video. All right, let's do a palate
cleanse of some kind. This has to do with the DMV.
The stupidity of the DMV is unrivaled.
You got to watch the end of this clip to really catch what it is.
Is a man who's upset about people stealing the registration
stickers. Who looks for the registration
stickers? Nobody.
Right up until you get pulled over.
But who runs the registration sticker program?
That's the real question. Maybe they should run your
grocery stores. There's no common sense.
I got a ticket because the thieves in Los Angeles are
stealing off of our license plates.
The little registration year sticker, Yes.
And you don't know your stickers missing, You don't go out to
your car every morning. Go.
Is my sticker still there? You don't know until you get a
ticket. So I called the DMVI, said, hey,
there's a mix up. I got a ticket, but my car's
registered and just she goes, Sir, Sir, you need to prove to
us that your car's registered. I said, I'm sorry, am I talking
to the DMV? Isn't that a little piece of
information you should have? She goes.
Sir, it's policy. You need to send us a copy of
your registration. I said.
I don't even know where that is, She said we'd be happy to send
you a copy to send back on. This is the world that I live
in. I didn't even open up the
envelope. I just wrote return to sender.
And there you have it. That could be you, New York,
except it could be grocery stores.
Good luck with that. We're all praying for you.
We hope you make an interesting choice.
Even if it's not the right choice, it will be fun to cover
it. So knock yourselves out out
there. Make sure you guys are paying
attention to what's going on around you if you live in that
area. And hopefully we've illuminated
a little bit of your options and your choices just a bit.
If nothing else, just for our own sort of amusement.
